El Puerto de Santa María housing near the base.
The city. More choice, more life, and fifteen minutes to the base.
El Puerto is the go-to city for military families who want more housing variety, more schools and more to do than Rota offers. Beaches, an old town, a marina, restaurants, international supermarkets and quick connections to the base, Cádiz and Jerez — all in one place.
It has the widest mix of housing in the area: apartments in the centre, family villas with pools in coastal developments like Vistahermosa or Valdelagrana, and traditional Andalusian townhouses. The right home depends entirely on which gate you want to use and the style of life you're after.
Close to the base. 10–20 minutes by car to the Salado Gate or the Fuentebravía Gate. Direct connections.
