Your Military Move to Rota, Spain

Naval Station (NAVSTA) Rota is one of the best OCONUS duty stations. Many folks there rank it as their favorite, and others even find a way to return to Rota after leaving active duty.
If it’s your first time getting stationed in Spain, here are two major decisions you need to make and two important things to know well in advance!
Should You Live On or Off Base? Deciding whether to live on or off base in Rota is a big decision, so weigh the pros and cons carefully!
Should You Bring a Car to Rota? Opinions on whether to bring or buy a car are just as divided as deciding whether to live on base or off. Those who advocate for buying a car in Spain advise that you'll avoid potential damage to your vehicle that often comes with the extremely narrow streets in the Rota area.
Should You Bring Your Pets? If you have pets, you must plan as far in advance as possible to arrange for their transport to Rota - it could save you thousands of dollars.
Should or How Can You Plan to Work as a Military Spouse? NAVSTA Rota hosts many home-based businesses, with spouses selling everything from baked goods to cosmetology and photography services. A great place for remote work!
Final advice Enjoy your time. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by making the most of your time in Rota!
