The
culture of San Pedro reflects the greater regional culture of southern
Spain. However, because of its location on a fertile plain, the local
cuisine is rich and features greater use of abundant local crops.
San Pedro has the last summer fair (feria) in Andalucía which takes
place in the second week in October. The fair lasts four days. On the
penultimate day of the fair, a bull fight is held in celebration of Iberian
culture.
Traditionally, young debutante women who attend the bull fight wear pink
blouses. If a bullfighter succeeds in quickly slaughtering a bull, the
young women toss monogrammed handkerchiefs into the ring in the hopes
that the bullfighter will call on them afterwards.
Unlike most modern Spanish bullfights where much of the meat from slaughtered
bulls is donated to charity, the carcasses of bulls which are slain during
this fight are cremated in a bonfire at the end of the day. This ritual
mirrors the pagan ceremonies performed by ancient Iberians.
