My family and I went on holiday last year in August. We went to Sotogrande and we stayed in
an apartment with pool, next to beach. We stayed there for one week. Sotogrande was
beautiful and quiet. In the mornings we went for a walk on the beach the best day was when
we did a party on the home. Afternoons we went to the pool. Once we went on an Italian
restaurant, we enjoyed the food. The food was very good. It was very sunny when we were
there.
