As early as 1128, Pedro Gudestéiz was the cardinal primiclerus of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. By 1152, he was the prior of the monastery of Sar, when he received on behalf of the monastery certain churches from King Alfonso VII. He was elected bishop of Mondoñedo in 1155.
On 18 August 1156, Pope Adrian IV issued a bull placing the diocese of Mondoñedo and the churches it owned outside of its boundaries under papal protection and confirming Pedro's decision to install canons regular in the basilica of San Martiño. In 1164, Pedro exchanged churches with Count Álvaro Rodríguez and his wife Sancha Fernández. On 20 January 1167, King Ferdinand II confirmed various divisions previously agreed to between Pedro and Count Álvaro. At some point, a dispute erupted between Pedro and Countess Sancha, which was only resolved with royal intervention under his successor, Rabinato, in 1178, when properties belonging to the bishop that had been unjustly usurped were ordered restored.
In February 1168, Pedro was elected archbishop of Santiago de Compostela, where he served until 1173.
