Imanol Arias and María Barranco Open the Cultural Programming of San Pedro in 2026

San Pedro Alcántara will host around fifteen shows until May as part of a diverse cultural agenda. The events will take place at the Performing Arts Center La Alcoholera, starting this Sunday, February 1st, at 7:00 PM with the play 'Mejor no decirlo', featuring actors Imanol Arias and María Barranco. This show has sold out all its tickets on the first day they were available.

The deputy mayor of San Pedro, Javier García, emphasized that "the fact that everything sold out in just a few hours demonstrates the high level and quality of this program" and added that the prices for the shows are "very modest and accessible to all audiences." He also highlighted that the offerings are top-notch, aimed at all audiences, and include the VI Festival of Puppets and Marionettes, "already established as a regional and Andalusian benchmark, as well as the traditional school theater campaign that we will also propose, with morning performances exclusively directed at educational centers."

Meanwhile, the general director of the area in San Pedro, José Antonio Moreno, stated that "the programming is committed to top-level companies." For the adult audience, the play 'Mejor no decirlo' will be followed by 'Tuyo Cid' on February 7th at 8:00 PM; the charity theater '8 Mujeres' on February 14th at the same time; 'La Reina Brava' by Las Niñas de Cádiz on March 7th at 8:00 PM; 'Madness' on April 10th at 8:00 PM; 'La Desconquista' on April 18th at the same time; 'No estoy de frente' on May 9th; 'La tormenta' on May 16th; and 'Palabras Mayores' by Alex O'Dogherty on May 22nd.

"We believe in a consistent, varied, and quality program, and this is reflected in the audience's response, with average occupancies ranging between 70 and 75 percent," concluded Moreno, who noted that "the theater offerings in Marbella and San Pedro are practically on par with those of any major provincial capital in this country."
