Sotogrande is an exclusive resort and golf complex at the western end of the Costa del Sol. Once you pass through the security gate, you will find beautiful villas, a well-developed marina, a world-famous polo club, and beautiful beaches and views. You will also find local supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and facilities for tennis and horseback riding. Ferries and hydrofoils are easily accessible from the port of
Algeciras for trips to Tangiers and the bustling markets called
"souks." The "rastro" or flea market in Puerto Banus and the fabled
town of Marbella are within half an hour's drive. Local color abounds
in the small fishing villages along the coast; the white villages
of Caseres, Ronda and Gaucin are about an hour away. Nearby Cadiz
is a wonderful and historic city with beautiful, inexpensive leather products, and beyond that is Tarifa, where windsurfers flock
for wind and body surfing. Six golf courses are within ten minutes' drive, among them the famous Valderrama, Sotogrande, and
San Roque. The Mediterranean Sea, tennis courts and the marina,
where boats can be chartered, are within walking distance.
El Soto is located 750 meters from the beach and offers
a spectacular sea view. The Rock of Gibraltar looms above the
horizon and on a clear day, the coastline of Africa and the hazy
mountains of Morocco can be seen. The house was totally renovated
in 2000 and offers the finest in amenities, including air conditioning. The pool is located in a large, totally private and
mature garden of some 1000 square yards.
