San Roque, in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, is the heart of the Campo de Gibraltar and is renowned for its luxury tourism offering, particularly in the maritime area of Sotogrande. The town and its surroundings are internationally famous for hosting some of the best golf courses in Europe (such as the Valderrama Golf Club). Besides sport and exclusivity, San Roque boasts a rich history, being the direct heir of the old city of Gibraltar, whose population took refuge here in 1704. It offers a unique mix of history, upscale beaches, and a sophisticated atmosphere.
