Read More...We loved spending time in Rota. The holiday complex is immaculate. Beautiful flat, lovely pool and stunning beach within a few minutes walk. The town is great we particularly liked joining in with the zumba in the piazza. We alternated days relaxing in the water and then days sightseeing in Cadiz, Sevilla and lovely historic villages getting a taste of true Spain. We had such warm welcome from Teresa and Louis and they are can come back to our house when ever they wish.
