to get to know a little what is sotogrande You have to go back to the 60s, specifically to 1962 when its history began. It was in that year when Joseph McMicking , a Filipino-American businessman who served in the United States Army during World War II, decided to create a community similar to the one he had found in Forbes Park, Manila. Just 30 minutes from Marbella , with the wild and unspoiled beaches of Cadiz and Gibraltar as a backdrop, he seemed to have found it.
Sotogrande met the requirements to become the place to create that community in which luxury private residences and tourism could coexist. sotogrande , therefore, it is not just golf, dressage, sea and water sports, it is everything and more.
Since then the urbanization has undergone major reforms, currently it has the best marina in the Mediterranean , for quality and beauty, and with some of the juiciest architectural projects on the coast. For example, the construction of the apartments Village Green , located on 6 hectares, the Club Reserve , a famous country club located in the heart of Sotogrande and The Golf Villas , the space for golf lovers.
