The Alcaidesa Marina will be another exclusive marina on the coast. Situated on the golden shores of the Costa del Sol, set against the stunning backdrop of Gibraltar, the new Alcaidesa Marina is preparing to welcome luxury yachts and high-net-worth-individuals.

A few days ago, on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of july you could see something very ridiculous on the water. A Mini Cooper. Yes, the car. It is a kind of advertising or publicity for Mini. So they took a big Jetski and put the car body of a Mini Cooper on top of it. So it looks like there is a Mini driving on water.

If you want to see white sandy beaches like in the carribean, you have to visit the coast of Cadiz. Try the beaches at Tarifa, Barbate, Conil de la Frontera or Chiclana de la Frontera. But one of the best beaches is in the small town of Zahara de los Atunes. In the southeast of the town you have a big beach which is normally not that full like other beaches on the coast. Like you can see it on the picture you have wide sandy beaches and fantastic blue water. You won´t realise that you are in Spain instead of the carribean. If you want to enjoy the sun and the nice warm weather in august try it there.

San Roque is a small town with a population of 25,000 near Gibraltar. It is part of the province of Cádiz. It was founded by the original inhabitants of Gibraltar, which abandoned the town in 1704, after the takeover by the Anglo-Dutch forces during the War of the Spanish Succession. This way, San Roque official motto is “The town of Gibraltar that lives in San Roque”. From San Roque you have a good view to Gibraltar and although Algeciras. San Roque itself is very nice, with its small streets and nice buildings. It´s worth a visit to drink a coffee in a little bar.
