The Holiday Hotel Pier

Here is the first pier built in San Pedro for tourist guides and their guests. We can only wonder how many wheelbarrows full of fish have traveled down the Holiday Hotel pier, where Celi McCorkle has welcome guests since 1965. Tourist guides like Abel, Jose, Gaby, Lucilo, Manuel and Pete must have filled several dozens over their 25 year period. But it was not only the guides that delighted in the day’s catch. Children like Carlos Alejos benefited from the day’s catch when the guide was too tired to clean fish. And girls like Ceci Lara were around also to take home a few for the family to enjoy fresh fried snappers for the evening dinner. Indeed piers in San Pedro are a fisherman’s haven and a free market for Sanpedranos.
