Keys facts about Rota
Nature’s playground
Rota’s beaches, like Playa de la Costilla and Playa del Rompidillo, are perfect for sunbathing and swimming – there’s so much space that you’ll never struggle for a spot on the sand. When you’re ready to explore, wander into pine forests and sand dunes, or spot flamingos in the nearby wetlands.
A taste of Rota
Top tip – make sure you try the arranque roteño in one of the bars in the Old Town. It's a typical recipe that you won't find outside Rota. Pair it with freshly grilled fish, tapas bursting with flavour and a glass of the local sherry for the most delicious meal.
Explore nearby Jerez
When you want a break from the beach, the city of Jerez is just a short drive away. It’s rich in history, boasting the Alcázar, Jerez Cathedral and endless traditional bodegas. Here, it’s all about the world-famous sherry, watching spellbinding flamenco shows and discovering the elegance of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art.
