New Superyacht Marina will open soon

The Costa del Sol is mainly known for Golf, but as well it is famous for their marinas. 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.

The Alcaidesa Group began planning and construction back in 2003, where the idea of bringing more high-end attention and travel dimension to the Spanish Coast brought forward plans for a new superyacht marina – offering spaces from 8 – 50m.

After opening the use of berths to owners in August as well as undergoing further cosmetic construction, the Alcaidesa Marina is a new potential yachting hub with modern facilities and services alongside high-end shopping centres and restaurants. The new Marina is strategically located by Gibraltar for its cool breezes and connection to both the Atlantic and Mediterranean Oceans, ideally situated near the Gibraltar Airport, Tarifa Beach and the Sotogrande Polo Fields.

The Marina consists of three basic areas, the sailing and water-sports centre, the northern side, with commercial sailing operation, dry dock and mooring facilities and the recreational, sailing and business area.

Once fully developed in two years time – 2013, the central area will have a surface coverage of 134,255 metre squared of land and an area of 139760 metre squared of water, with a capacity of 624 berths and 200 spaces in the dry dock facility.

Expertly designed by the Alcaidesa Group, the marina’s open landscaped areas and promenades, luxury leisure centres and varied berths will bring a new element of style and sophistication to the Spanish Coast in 2013 as well as a new yachting destination to superyacht owners everywhere.

Mini driving on water in Sotogrande

Mirco Rehmeier — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 12:49:19 +0000

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. I found this photos on the spanish blog motorpasion.com because I havn´t taken any photos by myself. The first photo is taken in the port of Sotogrande (Cádiz), driving around. The second and third are in the port of La Duquesa (Málaga). I have read on another blog that this car is driving along the coast until the end of august. So maybe you can see in some other ports or on the beach.

Beaches like in the Carribean

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

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.
