Sotogrande celebrates its 50th anniversary
Last week numerous spanish celebrities flocked to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Andalucia’s most up-market urbanization – Sotogrande. The event was held at Sotogrande’s exclusive beach club “El Cucuracho” which is situated at the foot of the Mediterranean sea with views of Gibraltar and El Puerto Deportivo de Sotogrande.
Over the last 50 years Sotogrande has developed into an extremely popular up-market residential development with facilities to cater for the rich and famous and even royalty. It has a port, canal system giving access to apartments so that you can harbour your boat outside your apartment, beach clubs, top class hotels, golf clubs (including Europes no. 1 golf course Valderrama) and tennis clubs and polo clubs.
Sotogrande is located in the municipality of San Roque in Cadiz province and is Manilva’s neighbour. From the borders of Manilva municipality there are wonderful views over Sotogrande to Gibraltar.
If you are staying in the Manilva area, Sotogrande is well worth a visit to have lunch in the marina and to take a look at the beautiful large villas on the palm tree lined streets. In August it is polo season and the matches are an exciting spectacle to watch. Entry is normally free except for the grand final. I will post dates in the next blog.
