Have a Sotogrande Christmas

With Christmas fast approaching there is plenty to see and do in Sotogrande. The festive season is always great fun in the area—a time for everyone to get together and enjoy the real community spirit that makes this such a wonderful place in which to live.

Much of the fun is aimed at the kids, with Santa’s house in the Sotogrande marina, Christmas decoration workshops, festive stalls and carol singing being some of the highlights. As befits a seaside location, the Three Wise Men will be arriving by boat, with plenty of surprises promised.

La Reserva Golf Club will open its refurbished facilities and join in the festive fun with two Christmas golf tournaments, an ice rink as well as live shows and music.

The calendar of events kicks off with the switching on of Sotogrande’s decorative lights that sees a magnificent Christmas tree adorned with 4,500 lamps as its centrepiece. Below is the calendar of events:
