Now that beach weather is all but behind us, we’re left with a hole in our weekends, wondering what to do other than lazing around the house feeling slothful.
Luckily, beautiful Sotogrande has so much to offer so you won’t regret a sunny Sunday spent strolling along the marina.
Sotogrande Market
The Sunday market that takes place in Sotogrande marina is a real treat for lovers of luxury artisan arts and crafts. Shops are generally closed on Sunday in Spain, so 68 artisan stalls selling a wide variety of handicrafts, clothes and original art are a welcome indulgence.
Held at the Ribera del Marlin boardwalk, the multicoloured awnings presenting a pretty backdrop to the blue sea and private yachts moored in the marina.
Sotogrande market is a far cry from the typical flea market to be found in other locations, however. Local artists from the Costa del Sol display their wares, alongside stalls selling stunning ceramics, jewellery, antiques from across the globe and boho clothing boutiques.
Take a stroll through Sotogrande
After a delightful browse amongst the arts and crafts of the market, why not discover the beautiful marina of Sotogrande further? Likened to the city of Venice thanks to the canals and bridges upon which it sits, it’s a pleasant stroll through the pastel-coloured homes that line the quaysides. If you’re lucky, there’ll be a regatta out to sea, Sotogrande being an important destination for the yachting community.
After working up an appetite shopping and strolling, Sotogrande doesn’t disappoint hungry visitors. There is a wide choice of upmarket eateries, offering delicious options from breakfast till dinner. Try Foodisiac, serving an exotic twist based on quality Andalucian produce, or a delicious fusion of Japanese and Peruvian food at Don Diego. If you prefer a more traditional cuisine, Quilla is a Mediterranean restaurant that won’t disappoint.
These are just a few suggestions on how to enjoy a leisurely Sunday in beautiful Sotogrande. Why not visit and see for yourself what else is on offer? we’re sure you won’t be disappointed.
