| Rota is a nice little town that is expanding fast. The town has had a shared Spanish and American naval and military base since 1955 and this has had an influence on what the town is today. Almost nearly every American I have met who has been stationed in Rota has fallen in love with the place and are really sad when they have to go back home. Many have come back to make it their permanent home.
With an approximate population of 27,000 at the end of 2005 there were 1,266 foreigners living here and that does not include military staff stationed here.
In summer there is a big influx of Spanish holidaymakers but in winter it is much quieter and is much more like a real Spanish town. It has 16 kilometres of glorious golden urban and wild beaches, with most gaining blue flag awards. These clear blue waters attract all water-sports enthusiasts and swimmers alike; they are suitable for adults, children and families as well.
The old historic part of town follows a parallel history with the other local towns and cities. The castle ¨La Luna¨is in perfect condition, the 15th century church, Nuestra Señora de la O has a mixture of different styles as it has passed through the ages. The main square is a lovely place to sit with a glass of wine and watch both the locals and the tourists go about their business. In the last two years a boom seems to have erupted around Rota, where once run down farms and scrubland stood, apartments, flats and houses are being built. On average, as with most towns in and around the Costa de la Luz, prices for newer properties are generally higher than older ones. |
