About Sotogrande

Sotogrande, is the largest privately-owned development in Andalusia. It all started in 1962 when the American business man Joseph McMicking purchased several farms on both sides of the Guadiario river, aiming to make this area one of Europe’s best addresses for residential and leisure purposes. It is set in the province of Cadiz and the Municipality of San Roque, and is bordered by the towns Guadiario and Torre Guadiaro as well as by two developments: La Alcaidesa and La Reserva.
