Casa KriMaSoto

Welcome to Spain, and welcome to Casa KriMa

Our home away from home is in the South of Spain. Almost as south as you can get on mainland Spain. You fly to Malaga (or Gibraltar). It is located in the province of Cadiz, in an urbanisation called Sotogrande. It is a gated community comprising of both villas and apartment buildings, and of course resturants, beaches and golf courses. And our home is a penthouse apartment with great terraces on two sides of the house. So you can see everything from the mountain, the polo fields, the beach, the canals and the tip of Gibraltar! It has two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. And parking in the basement, with elevator all the way up to the apartment. And of course a swimming-pool! To sum it up, it has all you need for a great relaxing time in the fantastic south of Spain!

Welcome to us!

The history of Casa KriMa started in May 2010. Kri was looking around on properties in Spain while she was sitting and working in Kazakhstan (in her lunch break of course..). And she found a property that looked really good. The pictures were useless, but the data that was there was enough to spark an interest. And luckily Ma and fam was in Spain on vacation that week, so they drove down and had a look. And they really liked it! So from then on, it all went pretty fast! And, swoooosh, the home away from home was ours!

As a small note to the story though, Kri did live in the same house for over a year a few years back. So what might seem like an "impulse buy" is not that crazy!

Vinterferien 2011

3 generasjoner på tur! Kristoffer, Marianne & Magnus, og "mormor & morfar". Det er første gang morfar besøker Casa KriMa! Og hans gode innsats er internett! Telefonica kom til slutt, og internett ble innstallert! Hurra for internett!

Kazakh-gjengen på tur!

4 KZvenner på tur!
Kristin har vært flink og skrevet om oppholdet:
Utrolig godt å vite at det er vinter hjemme mens vi lesker oss i varmen i sør. Vi endte opp med å være fire kollegaer som koste oss med vin og god mat - mao, det gode liv:

Ikke så ille utsikt fra den sørvendte balkongen

Kristine og Olof koser seg med rosse

Jeg forelsket meg i en John Deere vi kom over ved marinaen

Trenger egentlig ingen kommentar, men er Gibraltar i bakgrunnen hvis noen lurte

How to get here!

Landing in Malaga, drive southwest. Stay in the right lane along the San Miguel brewery, and merge onto the motorway. After 3 min, follow the signs to Algeciras and AP-7, and enter the motorway up the hill after the BMW dealer. Drive on this road for 50 more minutes. After the 3rd toll road stop, and over the hill of Casares, you enter Cadiz province. Just down the hill you see Sotogrande and Torreguadiaro. Take exit 130 to Guadiaro. In the roundabout, go around and left, under the motorway. Go straight through the next two roundabouts. You will come to a extremely high speed bump, and a pink hotel to the right. Just after/along the hotel follow the signs to Puerto Sotogrande, down a very steep hill to the right. Take a right in the "roundabout", drive down the road, and enter the Sotogrande gated community. The gate opens by just driving up to it. Take a right, and follow the road for about 3-4 min. After 8 bumps, our house is to the left. Guadalmarina II consists of two houses, one yellow and one pink. Our apartment is in the yellow house with blue window shutters. Take a left in between the two pink houses, and enter the garage to the left. Be carefull down the ramp, it turns slightly so be aware of the walls! Drive all the way in and park in space 36 (2nd to last on the left side). Enter the door Portal 1, and take the elevator to the 4th floor, and you have arrived, Atico A. Welcome!
