Each July heralds the start of the polo season in the Sotogrande area and already we have attended on two occasions.
Sotogrande is situated only 15 minutes drive from Sabinillas and Manilva and so getting to the polo grounds is no problem. Entrance is usually free and watching the matches is a wonderful way of spending a couple of hours in the late afternoon sunshine.
There are three polo grounds in close proximity..Rio Sotogrande, Los Pinos, and Puente Hierrero. We have been to the latter and have had a wonderful time.
Matches comprise 5 or 6 chukkas each of 7 minutes with intervals of 3 minutes inbetween, and so each match is of about 50 minutes duration.
