Your local cinema in San Pedro Alcántara

Film enthusiasts who like their cinema experience to take place in an independent movie theatre will be happy to hear that the Cultural Centre in the Plaza de Libertad are showing original version films this autumn.

No need to take a bus to Puerto Banús or a taxi to Marbella to see your favourite Hollywood blockbuster or Scandi film noir, as San Pedro has its very own unique Odeon.

Non-Spanish films will be played with Spanish subtitles for the English, French and Russian speaking communities in town and tickets cost from 3 euros to 16 euros depending on group size.

The programme for next week will include the following features:
