San Pedro de Macorís ((:ˈsam ˈpeðɾo ðe makoˈɾis)) is a province of the Dominican Republic, also the name of its capital city.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Provinces of the Dominican Republic )〕 The city is fairly active due to its proximity to the national capital of Santo Domingo and also its role in the sugar industry. The province is informally known as San Pedro, SPM or Serie 23 for the first two numbers of their Dominican identification or Cedula. Citizens from San Pedro de Macorís are called ''petromacorisanos''. The culture of the province shares many similarities with those of the other eastern provinces. For example, during carnival season, the ''diablos'' (devils) tend to wield ''fuetes'' (whips), which relates to the traditional cattle farming of the whole region. Serie 23 is a mecca for all Dominican culture and was the home to the DR's most famous writer, Pedro Mir. In the past years the beautiful architecture of Serie 23 has been used as a backdrop for several Hollywood feature films, such as ''Miami Vice'', ''The Good Shepherd'' and ''Sugar''. It often stands in for Havana, Cuba. ==Municipalities and municipal districts== The province as of June 20, 2006, is divided into the following municipalities (''municipios'') and municipal districts (''distrito municipal'' - D.M.) within them: *Consuelo *Guayacanes *Quisqueya *Ramón Santana *San José de los Llanos * *Gautier (D.M.) * *El Puerto (D.M.) *San Pedro de Macorís The following is a sortable table of the municipalities and municipal districts with population figures as of the 2012 census. Urban population are those living in the seats (''cabeceras'' literally heads) of municipalities or of municipal districts. Rural population are those living in the districts (''Secciones'' literally sections) and neighborhoods (''Parajes'' literally places) outside of them.
