For the Sotogrande area golf is one of the major attractions and within 7 minutes drive of my office in the Port you can find 7 top courses including 5 which are in Spain's top 10 rated. The best thing for people who live here is that the courses are not over crowded and over played. A number of times during the year I play with friends of mine in Marbella 45 minutes east of Sotogrande and need to book tee times well in advance and spend 5 hours playing 18 holes. The Sotogrande area is more of a second home owners golfers paradise as opposed to golf tourism on mass. There are 7 Courses that surround us that most golfers here regularly play if not as a member then as part of a community that interact and invite each other to enjoy each others golf venues and the courses include
Valderamma (memories of Seve Ballesteros Ryder Cup 1997)
Sotogrande Real (often rated number 4 in Spain recently undergone multi million euro makeover)
La Reserva golf (very exclusive beautifully maintained and maybe toughest course in Spain)
San Roque golf estate (2 championship 18 hole courses former home of European Tour Qualifying School)
Almenara Golf resort (High standard pay & play course 27 holes surrounding NH Almenara hotel)
Alcaidesa Golf club (Nearest course to a links with stunning beach and sea views & cliff top fairways)
La Canada Golf (the local municipal golf course held record for producing more Pro's than any other club in Europe) In the course of a normal year apart from regularly playing my own club San Roque I, like many others are fortunate to enjoy a great golfing social community that means we often play these other courses with members at very attractive members rates. It really means that living here full time or part time you are spoil't for golf
Golf here is a changing scene particularly with second home owners appearing in different seasons always looking for a round. I have a friend from Scotland Edd who arrives and stays in his apartment every other month for 5 to 10 days its always good to play with Edd and the mates he brings from Glasgow. Another friend David from London arrives at his golf penthouse in school holidays our families get together for beach dining and fun. Dave often looking to push his luck in playing as much golf as he can get away with . There are also the local societies and once a month the Sotogolfo's meet to play golf drink beer dine and drink more wine and beer, the fun of this monthly event is not one my wife cares to know about when i arrive home slurring
People enjoy Sotogrande because it is scenic and totally uncongested, No Marbella bottle necks traffic jams here. I wake in the morning usually to bright sun and it takes me 8 minutes to travel the 8 kms to my club.Having said that there are of course many who live on the golf course.
I am always happy to chat to anyone who wants to know more about living in Spain and about the golf opportunities here very club is different and I can assist with neutral information about clubs and style of memberships as well as buying property on a golf course or close by. There are many different second home options from large apartment developments to luxury multi million pound villas

Sólo comercializar su casa si usted tiene una oportunidad real de venta de lo contrario los agentes utilizarán su precio altamente inflados para promover viviendas similares precios más bajos disponibles.
4. Asegúrese de que el acceso es sencillo en todo momento como agentes que a menudo se les dice que si tenemos que mostrar la propiedad la clave estará en manos de un jardinero o un limpiador. ¿Cuántas veces ha habido una situación en la que no podemos controlar la titular de la clave, ya que no se encuentran en la zona o no estamos respondiendo en un fin de semana. Asegúrese de que hay una segunda opción clave para los agentes. Es un hecho que un agente siempre libros citas primera de aquellas propiedades que sean titulares de una tecla.

Hay una tendencia en España para los agentes para reclamar que están ocupados todo el tiempo. Debido a que un agente dice que están ocupados no significa que el mercado es maravilloso. Cuando las condiciones del mercado son difíciles un agente inmobiliario puede pasar mucho tiempo persiguiendo su propia cola. Pida al agente que dice que están ocupados de qué manera son ellos ocupados. Estas vendiendo ? Si usted es lo que usted está vendiendo? y cuánto vendiste ¿Que buscas? Lo principal de retroalimentación está recibiendo la información correcta y relacionarse de nuevo a su propiedad.

So let me raise a few reasons we love living in this beautiful country and why the area we live in Spain ticks so many boxes, far more than we ever envisaged when we moved here
My family are from Poole Dorset and since the late 1960's early 1970s for many people from Poole & Bournemouth annual holidays to Spain often meant a Palmair trip (locally operated air carrier) to Mallorca. The reason for this was that Bournemouth had its own airport and since the 1960s Palmair was a wonderful service to Palma de Mallorca with a great hotel network. So in the footsteps of our grandparents and parents our happy holiday memories were of holidays in the Balearics . So it's no surprise that we dreamed of living there.
As a family we often chatted about living abroad on the Mediterranean sea and regularly suggested to my wife that we consider living in Spain . We began exploring our options starting with Mallorca.
Despite my love for Mallorca, my realization was that Spain was a vast tapestry of Historic Cities and contrasting scenery and we decided that to make a move and be constricted to a holiday island was not what we wanted. Over the 5 years of planning we made many visits to mainland Spain and enjoyed great Road trips through Northern Spain wending our way South and down along Spain's Southern Coasts. We had discounted Almeria as too dry arid and dusty and North of Barcelona was stunning but too quiet and isolated. We liked Javea & Moreira areas but my wife who was tasked to investigate the children's schooling could not be convinced. It was as a result of one of my lads golf trips to Spain that we found out about Sotogrande. I returned home saying that I had stayed in the Almenara hotel and had found a place that was stunningly green, a private estate surrounded by mountains sea river lakes and forests.
My wife started looking into the International School and liked what she found out. (picture of Sotogrande International School)Over the next few years we traveled many times for holidays and loved coming here particularly when we started to make friends. I would play golf the children loved horse riding and my wife enjoyed the sun. We also liked coming here and exploring villages and towns nearby and soon we discovered the culture history and gastronomy of the Spanish cities. From our base in Sotogrande we would often head off for an overnight stay in Jerez, Seville, Cadiz and Malaga all within a 2 hour easy Road journey. Sophisticated Cities buzzing day and night all on our door step. Sotogrande is Europes largest upmarket private community that we often describe as a bubble. No traffic congestion, beautiful surroundings, wonderful climate and immaculately maintained. The estate has 24/7 security and traffic in and out is monitored and checked on CCTV.
Since living here enjoying Sotogrande we often travel all over Spain and even Portugal only 4 hours drive. In the winter a favorite family half term trip is 1 hour 45 minute up to Sierra Nevada for the skiing. At half term in February you meet half of Sotogrande there. Sierra Nevada is the highest ski resort in Europe and every year I will do several day trips up there with mates . There can be snow there right up until late April
For my wife the Sotogrande area was a great mix of English European and Spanish where she would not feel isolated she even pops into Gibraltar a couple of times a month for her English shop. For me Sotogrande is a very social community where I am spoiled for golf and other active outdoor lifestyle a secure community where the weather lends itself to boating cycling, fishing, racquet sports and hiking. I also love the diversity of the wild life that surrounds Sotogrande.
We have lived here for nearly 9 years and to this day there is no going back. The community we live in is all about meeting up with friends at the beach or at sporting venues or socially and there is always lots going on. We love the lifestyle in Sotogrande but its also great at a drop of a hat to head for the long weekend break to a Spanish city. Our location is perfect as it offers us so many choices and its having these choices that has made our move to Spain so perfect.
