PLAYA DE SAN PEDRO - CUDILLERO (ESPAÑA - SPAIN)
The beach of San Pedro is situated in the council of Cudillero and is one of the more popular beaches with the locals in the area. During low tide, a vast swath of golden sand is exposed making it a great place to sunbathe and swim. At high tide however, there is little beach left but the large grassy area at the top of the beach allows visitors to continue their day at the beach uninterrupted. This grassy area is also a great place to picnic and makes a nice rest bite from the sticky sand.
To the right of the beach is a small river mouth which is great for young kids to take a paddle.
The river is also a good place to observe local species of sea birds as they trawl the shallow waters for food.
San Pedro has a good quality campsite at the entrance to the beach where you will also find a cafe/bar that sells sandwiches and ice creams.
The nearest town is San Pedro where you will find bars and restaurants.
Services on offer at the beach are:

Benahavís y San Pedro de Alcántara. Málaga
¡¡Un viaje diferente, el mapa de Andalucía con vídeos espectaculares…. en nuestra Web!!
Benahavís goza de un privilegiado emplazamiento entre las estribaciones de la Serranía de Ronda y los municipios de Marbella y Estepona. Los ríos Guadalmina, Guadalmansa y Guadaiza surcan este territorio poblado por grandes masas de encinas, pinos y alcornoques. Desde sus montes se divisa hasta cien kilómetros de costa española y la franja litoral africana. Esta diversidad paisajística hace de Benahavís un lugar ideal para practicar senderismo y actividades recreativas en plena naturaleza.
Benahavís mezcla el tipismo de los tradicionales pueblos blancos de la provincia de Málaga con la modernidad de unas infraestructuras turísticas propias del siglo XXI. El municipio reúne una decena de campos de golf, diversos recursos para la práctica de deportes de aventura en un hermoso entorno natural y una variada oferta gastronómica.
El viajero podrá pasear por sus sinuosas calles, descansar en sus recoletas plazas o visitar el Castillo de Montemayor, la iglesia de la Virgen del Rosario, varias torres vigías erigidas en la época musulmana y el Palacio de Benahavís levantado en el siglo XVI siguiendo los cánones de la arquitectura nazarí. Benahavís es un destino de referencia en la Costa del Golf, al contar con un total de diez campos de 9, 18 y 27 hoyos. Dos de estas instalaciones forman parte de un selecto club que incluye una reserva de caza. El municipio dispone además de un club hípico con dos pistas y unas completas infraestructuras para acoger concursos y competiciones ecuestres.
San Pedro de Alcántara es un núcleo urbano dependiente del ayuntamiento marbellí, cuyo origen está en el poblado construído por el marqués de Duero en 1860, para albergar a los colonos que trabajaban en las plantaciones de caña de azúcar y algodón y en el ingenio azucarero, del que aún se conserva el edificio. El complejo industrial albergó, además, unas bodegas que producían un moscatel de gran calidad y una fábrica de alcohol, La Alcoholera, convertida hoy en teatro.
En la actualidad, San Pedro se ha convertido en un núcleo turístico de primer orden, con numerosas urbanizaciones de lujo, campos de golf, magníficas playas, aunque conserva rasgos de su pasado colonial reflejados en su Iglesia y en La Villa de San Luís. Posee, además, un rico patrimonio arqueológico romano y paleocristiano.

Punta Arenas/Chile:
Punta Arenas is a commune and the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. The city was officially renamed Magallanes in 1927, but in 1938 it was changed back to Punta Arenas. It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel south. As of 1977 Punta Arenas has been one of only two free ports in Chile.[4]
Located on the Brunswick Peninsula north of the Strait of Magellan, Punta Arenas was originally established by the Chilean government in 1848 as a tiny penal colony to assert sovereignty over the Strait. During the remainder of the 1800s, Punta Arenas grew in size and importance due to the increasing maritime traffic and trade traveling to the west coasts of South and North America. This period of growth also resulted from the waves of immigrants attracted to the gold rush and sheep farming boom in the 1880s and early 1900s. The largest sheep company, controlling 10,000 square kilometres in Chile and Argentina, was based in Punta Arenas, and its owners lived there.
Since its founding Chile has used Punta Arenas as a base to defend its sovereignty claims in the southernmost part of South America. This led, among other things, to the Strait of Magellan being recognized as Chilean territory in the Boundary treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina. The geopolitical importance of Punta Arenas has remained high in the 20th and 21st centuries because of its logistic importance in accessing the Antarctic Peninsula.Punta Arenas has a population of over 127,000 inhabitants (2012 Census). According to the 2002 census of the National Statistics Institute, the Punta Arenas commune has 119,496 inhabitants (60,616 men and 58,880 women). Of these, 116,005 (97.1%) lived in urban areas and 3,491 (2.9%) in rural areas. The population grew by 5.1% (5,830 persons) between the 1992 and 2002 censuses. It further rose to 127,454 at the 2012 Census.[3]
The city was populated by many colonists from Spain and Croatia in the mid-nineteenth century and many of their descendants still live there. Other national ethnic groups represented are German, English, Italian, Swiss, and Irish.
Croatian immigration to Punta Arenas was a crucial development in the region of Magallanes and the city in particular. Currently, this influence is still reflected in the names of shops, streets and many buildings. According to some references, some 50% of the population of Punta Arenas are ethnic Croats.
10 Top Tourist Attractions in Brazil
The top tourist attractions in Brazil:
10_ Ouro Preto: One of Brazil's best-preserved colonial towns, Ouro Preto, meaning black gold, was founded at the end of the 17th century. It quickly became the epicenter of a new gold rush in the state of Minas Gerais. The city contains well preserved Portuguese colonial architecture, while modern buildings must adhere to historical standards maintained by the city. 18th- and 19th-century churches decorated with gold and the sculptured works of Aleijadinho make Ouro Preto one of the most popular tourist attractions in Brazil.
9_ Teatro Amazonas: or Amazon Theatre is an opera house located in Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. It was built during the heyday of rubber trade using materials from all over the world, with furniture from Paris, marble from Italy, and steel from England. On the outside of the building, the dome was covered with 36,000 decorated ceramic tiles painted in the colors of the Brazilian national flag.
8_ Fernando de Noronha: is a beautiful archipelago with pristine beaches, landscapes and wildlife, situated 354 km (220 miles) off the northeastern coast in Brazil. The archipelago was discovered by Amerigo Vespucci in 1503 and temporarily occupied by the Dutch and French before Portugal established dominion in 1737. Today only the largest of the 21 islands is inhabited with a population of about 3,500. The islands are a Mecca for divers and snorkelers with warm waters year-round and very good visibility even at depths of 50 meters.
7_ Historic Center of Olinda: Another well preserved colonial city, Olinda is located on the Brazil's northeastern coast, just north of Recife. Olinda features a number of major touristic attractions, such as a historic downtown area, churches, and the famous Carnival of Olinda. Many bars, restaurants, artist and craftspeople studios add charm to the old-town setting.
6_ Salvador Beaches: is the capital of the state of Bahia, with an attractive colonial town, a vibrant musical scene and loads of exceptional beaches all around. The beaches range from calm inlets, ideal for swimming, diving and sailing, as well as open sea inlets with strong waves, popular with surfers. There are also beaches surrounded by reefs, forming natural pools of stone, ideal for children.
5_ Pantanal: is the world's largest wetland, lying mostly in Western Brazil but extending into Bolivia and Paraguay as well. Famous for its wildlife, it is one of Brazil's major tourist attractions. Unlike the Amazon rainforest, in the Pantanal you are virtually guaranteed to actually see the wildlife. Capybara and the Yacare Caiman are present in the millions. The Pantanal is also home to one of the largest Jaguar populations in the Americas.
4_ Rio Carnival: There are carnival celebrations in virtually every corner of Brazil, the best-known ones taking place in Recife together with the neighboring Olinda and Salvador. But the biggest and most famous carnival is undoubtedly the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. The Rio Carnival attracts two million people per day on the streets and almost half a million foreigners during its 4 day celebration. The Carnival is all over the place, in the streets and squares, bars, clubs and all other venues in Rio, concluding in the spectacular Rio Samba Parade at the Sambadrome.
3_ Amazon River: At approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles) the Amazon River is the second longest river in the world, just slightly shorter than the Nile, and the largest river by volume. The Amazon has over 3,000 recognized species of fish and new species are still being discovered. The Amazon Basin is covered by half of the planet's remaining rainforests. Although a tenth of the world's estimated 10 million living species live in the Amazon rainforest, jungle tours are more about the boating upriver into the damp, buzzing, oppressive ambience than actually spotting animals.
2_ Iguazu Falls: One of the great natural wonders of the world, Iguaçu Falls is situated on the border between Brazil and Argentina. The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along the Iguazu River. The most impressive of them all is the Devil's Throat a U-shaped with a height of 82 meter (269 ft). The falls can be reached from the cities Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil and Puerto Iguazú in Argentina, as well as from Ciudad del Este in Paraguay. On the Brazilian side there is a long walkway along the canyon with an extension to the lower base of the Devil's Throat.
1_ Christ the Redeemer: Christ the Redeemer is the famous statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro. Located at the peak of the 700 meters (2,300 ft) Corcovado mountain, it provides a sweeping panorama from the interior of Guanabara bay to the north, to Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas to the south. The Christ the Redeemer statue stands 39.6 meters (130 ft) tall, including its 9.5 meters (31 ft) pedestal and has become an icon of Rio and Brazil.
