Sotogrande is a luxury
location on
the
Costa del Sol,
within
Andalucia,
very close to
Gibraltar
that is still
growing and is
fast becoming
the place to
be. Sotogrande
is a quiet
area based
around a
wonderful
marina. Fine
restaurants
and bars line
the water's
edge. Good
taste has been
retained here
and there will
never be
high-rise
developments.
It is an ideal
place to make
base for golf
holidays,
being just
minutes away
from
Valderrama and
other courses.
With 300 days
of sunshine a
year,
Sotogrande
stays active
all year
round. There
is also a
wonderful
beach with all
facilities.
Polo is also
very popular
in the local
area. The famous Santa Maria Polo Club is located here.

The marina
which was
built in 1987
has all the
facilities you
would expect.
It currently
has 548 berths
but this will
swell to 1052
when the
second phase
of the
development is
completed. All
the berths
have the usual
facilities
such as
electricity,
telephone,
fresh water
and
television,
which all make
for
pleasurable
sailing in the
area. To
complete the
marina there
are ample
dry-dock
facilities and
provisions for
activities
such as
jet-skiing.

The Sotogrande
area is
undergoing a
constant
improvement
and expansion
with new
facilities,
new properties
and new golf
courses
springing up
all the time.
Over the next
few years it
is believed
that this area
will become
one of the
Costa del
Sol's most
important
leisure areas.
Within a
thirty minute
drive of
Sotogrande are
the smaller,
luxury ports
of
Puerto de la
Duquesa
and
Estepona. |

|
|
| During the
winter months,
Sotogrande
continues to
thrive with
its many major
regattas that
attract vast
crowds. There
are several
top class
sailing events
that draw
vessels from
all over the
coast. Ideally
located with
first class
facilities,
Sotogrande is
fast becoming
a top
attraction for
winter
sailors.
Within the
port of
Sotogrande
there are
several
high-class
bars,
restaurants
and large
hotels. There
are several
important boat
dealers and a
handful of
small shops.
There is a
market on
Sundays and
Wednesdays
featuring
antiques and
crafts. Part
of Sotogrande
is away from
the port,
along the main
N340 highway.
Here you will
also find a
selection of
shops and bars
as well as
access to the
main . The
beach is long
and wide and
consists of
soft, clean
sand. There is
a beach bar
and the usual
sun beds and
showers |
|
|
|
|
If you head
along the N340
highway
towards
Malaga, within
a couple of
minutes of
Sotogrande you
will see on
your right, a
series of
small coves
with
wonderful,
secluded
beaches.
Whilst they
have very few
facilities,
you can be
assured of
peace and
quiet
alongside
calm, shallow
waters. |
