Transformation is the theme of this edition of the popular healing arts festival that will be held in San Pedro on the weekend of December 6 and 7. The Arte Sano festivals have been running for 8 years now, offering a chance for people to experience different ways of living, and transforming their lives through healthier eating, holistic disciplines like Yoga, meditation and personal development. The Arte Sano festivals are weekend events that are packed with activities for people interested in trying something new – classes and workshops give people the chance to try practical activities, while talks and conferences can introduce new and innovative ideas. The eco-holistic market has all kinds of natural and organic products as well as original artisan gifts, ideal with Christmas just round the corner. “San Pedro’s municipal ‘Carpa’ provides an excellent venue for this event,” explains Monica Bereuther, co-organiser of the event. “It is very easy to find in the town’s feria ground and has enough space for the diverse market as well as all the activities. As a complement to our summer edition on the Paseo Maritimo, it serves to bring our message of natural living to a wider audience.”

They are also offering free eye tests throughout November, which are able to detect the signs of Diabetic Retinopathy.
