Surrounded by natural spaces of wonderful landscape and natural interest and crossed by the River Fluvi\u00e0, St. Pere is in the middle of the Gulf of Roses, one of the most attractive bays of the Western Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

The castle of Sant Pere from the XIV century is the most important medieval building of the locality.<\/p>\n

\"stpere2\"The drying out of the nearby marshy zones during the XVII and XVIII centuries caused a considerable increase in population.

The moderate thermal winds, allow novices and experts alike an opportunity to practice this sport.<\/p>\n

The borders of the Fluvi\u00e0 River also welcome lovers of the Kayak and water skiing. Specialized commerce exists to support all of the devotees of these sports.<\/p>\n

Sant Pere Pescador offers all type of lodging, including small hotels and pensions, but overall Camping is the most important accommodations, and there are more than a dozen camping sites. All are almost directly on the beach, which again makes of St. Pere the ideal place for those who seek sun, and a quiet beach.<\/p>\n
