San Pedro del Pinatar

The mud baths are one of many places to visit in San Pedro del Pinatar Spain

San Pedro, as it is more commonly known, is the most northerly of all the towns and villages that sit on the shores of the Mar Menor and is well worth a visit. There are lots of places to discover such as the information centre for the regional park, marina, sand dunes and salt flats, as well as its beach and promenade. It is easy to spend a whole day here at the beach or in the town centre which is found around the church square.

It is a great place to explore by bike as you can park on the road beside the information centre and complete a circular route visiting all of the places of interest.
