What to do?


Sotogrande Beaches 

 

Sotogrande has 12km of beaches and they are located close to where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean so the sea can be cooler than further up the Costa del Sol. 

 

The Cala Chullera beach in Sotogrande is a heavy sand beach that is divided into two zones by a rocky projection. It is located on the feet of the tower of Chullera. 

Their rock bottoms are excellent for diving and a very good place to go fishing.

Cala Manilva Beach in Sotogrande is a small beach of about ten meters length. Lowering the small one cut of about four meters of height by which we accede, the beach seems to be a wonderful stay to us. Nevertheless, once down, the panorama is quite depressive since it seems a sweepings garbage dump. 

The only that saves this beach is the sea; With having many submerged rocks, it is ideal to do snorkeling.

Torreguadiaro Beach is a sandy beach with small stones. It is a zone of fishermen that you can see work in the environs. After them many seagulls roam trying hard to get some fish from the fishermen. 

The apartments of Sotogrande on the side, give the beach a contrast with the humility of Torreguadiario. It is worth to take a view to the port of Sotogrande.

Sotogrande Things To Do

 

Just a short walk from Sotogrande, via a boardwalk alongside a lagoon, is the newly promenaded Torreguadiaro. As the name suggests it is the location of one of the many towers(torres) built between the 15-18th centuries to provide vantage points to warn the locals from Barbary pirates. In fact Torreguadiaro has two torres, the first and newest is a rather grand affair visible from the boardwalk whilst the second, older, torre is gently crumbling at the western end of the promenade.

 

It has taken Torreguadiaro two thousand years to develop as far as it has today. A large car park was built at one end of the promenade at the same time that now also serves as the location for the weekly market. There are about twelve restaurants in this small village each has its own speciality, for example traditional Spanish, modern Italian, Indian and International and of course different bars. Dolce Vita Restaurant is on the main street and is a favourite spot for Sunday lunch.
