Small enough to be quaint and annoying
In a nutshell
I had a wonderful memorable trip there. Would love to go back and visit again.
Juana1001 Says: Dont miss spring Feria! Each town has its own spring fair, Sevilla, Puerto de santa Maria Rota etc. One big long party.
bpwillet Says: This church stands out on the Rota skyline with its odd shape and towering capilla. Built in the 16th century it has a complicated mixture of architectural styles and was financed by the de Leon family. The carved choir on the interior was done by Don Diego Roldan, the...
bpwillet Says: There are great little plazas and small streets to wander in Rota. It is small enough that it is almost impossible to get lost and just as easy to get wrapped up in the quaint atmosphere of the old town.

La Caleta: Beautiful view y en la playa.

La Parilla de Juan - Juan's Grill: Buenos filetes! Great steaks, service and prices.
dkSpunja Says: Juan's has a great selection of Kobe beef cuts. Our meal started out, like most meals in Spain, with bread rolls and crackers. We ordered for starters, a pitcher of sangria and a mixed sausage platter. The sangria was good, however, it slightly tasted as if the fruit pieces...
The German Schnitzel House: Alles gut geschmuck
Mitchelljdds Says: For the person missing home cooking of the homeland of germany this is the place to go. The fine wine imported in from Germany and the internet music of RPR2 really sets the mood of being in Germany.A GOTTA GO SEE place.
Mitchelljdds Says: Our group had various menu items. We shared them all and it was all very good food. the Calimari was tender and highly recommened.
Bar La Churreria: Churros in the morning
bpwillet Says: Not a bad way to make a living. Open for a few hours in the morning, fry up some dough, keep the coffee hot and the customers will be lining up at your window. Churros are a quick and great way to have breakfast the Spanish way. Not much is done for breakfast so churros can...
bpwillet Says: This small tapas bar also serves sandwiches and some nice sized dishes for up to four people. Set on the Plaza de Espana, it has tables outside to enjoy the warm summer sun. The staff is really friendly and very helpful. The Paella Valencia and Mixed Solomillo are awesome....
Casa Texas Mexico: Great Mexican in Spain
bpwillet Says: This is a great find and has some great home cooked menu items. It is authentic and a great place to take a large group of people if you need to; inside or out. Most of the menu items can be ordered as tapas (or parts) or as combination platters. Everything is fresh and they...
Mitchelljdds Says: In Rota, there are two Irish Pub establishments They are both very nice places to hang out and enjoy your beer and the local views.In Puerto, next town west of Rota, I visited an Irish Pub called Money Mallons. There you will find a great european atmosphere with wooden...

bpwillet Says: There are a few covered streets that you can go shopping but essentially Rota has every kind of shop on every kind of street. There are clothing boutiques, to souvenier shops, housewares, to toys.
wild80s Says: Right outside the Naval Station Rota main gate there is a Gypsy Market set up on Wednesdays. There are so many good deals at the Market, the only thing you need are time and patience. If you have both of those things available you will have an awesome experience and come...
bpwillet Says: They seem to be everywhere. In almost every city there are musicians who add to the overall ambience to the place you are visiting. Rota is no different. We were able to listen to this guy play some traditional music on his accordian while we had lunch. They were very...
Hopkid Says: In Europe, dining is an experience that is meant to be enjoyed and not hurried through. This is reflected in the wait staff service. You may end up sitting for quite a long time after your dessert has long been eaten and your espresso quaffed. That's because your waiter will...
usmc0844 Says: Whores, whores, everywhere!!! Stay away unless you want something Clorox won't wash off!
bpwillet Says: You will want to lay out your clothes you want to bring then divide it in half and then see if there is anything you want to leave out. This will help with your desicion of how many bags to take. If you are doing more than just laying on the beach that is. Good walking...
bpwillet Says: The beaches around Rota are great for many activities. However, most of the people who come to the beach are lounging under umbrellas or just soaking up the sun. For some of the more adventurous you can do a bit of bouldering around the rocks at Playa de Chorrillo. The sand...
