Visiting with my son in Rota?
My son, a Seabee, is deployed to Rota and will be there for 6 months. I am planning a trip to see him in April. Does anyone know if I would be allowed on base? I understand there is a Navy Lodge on base, could he book a room for me? Would he have to be with me as I come and go or would he be able to get me a pass?
Does anyone have any other ideas of where to stay? Somewhere he could easily get to, on his time off? I really appreciate your help and insight. Marie

My son is getting ready to go to Rota for four years. I plan on visiting him once he is settled. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

ProudMama2 all I hear is crickets. If you find a group that is active let me know and I will do the same. My son is to report to Rota by the end of May and will be there for four years. Do you know how long your son will be there?

I just came back from a visit with my son there. It may be difficult to reserve the Navy Lodge. I rented a hotel room which is not expensive now. That area does increase during the summer months because most of Europe vacations there. Fly to Madrid and take a high speed train to Santa Maria to get to the area. I found out a lot so if you have questions.

Thank you for the input. My son's trip was delayed now waiting for a new date but I will certainly be in contact once he gets out there and I plan a visit.

My son just arrived in Rota in October. I would like to visit him in mid-late January for 2 weeks to allow some travel time. I'm in the early stages of planning this trip. I don't speak Spanish. Any information would be helpful. Did you find out your information online before you went or just by being there?
