San Antero

San Antero is a coastal municipality in Córdoba Department that spreads across varied terrain, with seaside areas mixed alongside inland landscapes. The settlement sits relatively flat and offers a blend of coastal and non-coastal environments.

The settlement began in 1534 when Spanish colonists established a permanent community at this strategic Caribbean coastline location. The early founding shaped the character of this place for centuries to come.

The town holds traditions shaped by indigenous roots and Spanish heritage, which show themselves in local festivals and everyday customs. This blend appears in the way people live together and celebrate throughout the year.

Visitors find here a mix of coastal and inland environments, which means it is good to bring differently dressed clothing depending on the season. The area is flat and easy to explore, so it is possible to travel on foot or with simple transport.

Local fishermen sell fresh daily catch directly from the Caribbean Sea at the municipal market. This activity forms the economic and culinary heart of the place.
