Many words can often be used to describe the spirit of San Jose’s “University Town”: disenfranchised, deferent, carefree, and lively, most certainly YOUNG. San Pedro embodies the ever self-questioning and restless spirit of our capital city’s young and proud. Show-ground of liberal tendencies, romantic notions and relentless opposition; an area which pretty much circumvents the wholesomeness of UCR’s campus serves for inhabiting place to students, professionals and the few remaining elders who remember the days when coffee plantations used to grow where shopping centers now thrive.

Likewise, the leisure possibilities available would easily match the tastes of San Pedro’s kin. “La Calle de la Amargura” (Bitterness Lane or Bitterness Road) is probably the most famous of all venues in town; always ever so crowded with College students. Budget options are the norm in this place for both beverages and snacks/light meals. Restaurants are placed conveniently all over town offering a decent chart of cuisine options.  The Movie theaters are solely available within the premises of the very centric San Pedro Mall and the UCR’s Bellas Artes Theater well monopolizes the stage discipline.
