Festivals in Las Negras: Cabalgata de Reyes Magos, Semana Santa, Noche de San Juan and Fiestas Patronales en Honor de la Virgen de la Asunción.

Las Negras takes its name from the mountain to the the left of the village, El Cerro Negro (“The Black Mountain”). This is a large mass of dark volcanic material, which has spread over the sea and beaches of the town as an effect of erosion, now filling the stony shoreline with its colour. The village has around 350 inhabitants.

Cala San Pedro is more easily accessed from Las Negras than Agua Amarga. The 4km-walk from Las Negras takes about an hour; in the summer you can take a taxi launch. This isolated cove is picture-postcard perfect, overlooked by a 16th century castle with tower (built to protect the coast from Berber pirates), and ruined fishing village abandoned after an earthquake. Today inhabitants are a year-round naturist hippy community living in makeshift dwellings with their dogs.
