There is an American naval base only 2 hours driving distance away from Seville. I was so happy to get the chance to visit!
I was especially interested in this visit because my boyfriend, David, starts basic training for the US Navy in a little over a month. I am so proud and excited for him! I was glad to see what Navy life is like when stationed on a base.

We learned about Rota and the strategic value of this base. We also were told that this particular base was going to double in size (of population) in the next few years!

Overall, we had a really cool day. We got to tour a huge Air Force plane and then we got to tour Rota (the city (beach town!) in Spain where the naval base is located).

Location: Rota, Spain
