Rota
02 October 2011
We have had a great time in Rota with sunny weather and really explored the town this time as we have been here for over a week. The beach and promenade are lovely and there are pleasant little streets to wander along where you can stop for tapas or a drink on the way. The only drawback is the longish walk to the nearest Mercadona or Carrefour supermarkets which would be fine over winter but rather hot now. We got round this by organising a delivery of heavy items like water, beer, wine, soft drinks and other dried stuff to the boat. There is a bakers and small shops nearby plus a fish market next to the marina and the small town covered market is less than 5 minutes away. The Spanish people are very friendly and helpful and speak good English, maybe because of the nearby American naval base. Off to Lagos tomorrow or the next day.
