CARNIVAL

    Hello again!

    Last weekend, we had something interesting and funny to do: enjoying  in carnivals. This year, there was a big procession, where a lot of 'sanroqueños'  participated in different ways, above all, getting dressed. Moreover, the best costume won a prize. In this occasion, the winners were some teenagers getting dressed of barbies.

    Carnival is a very popular party in our village because of the influence of Cádiz, the province where San Roque is situated. It is the main festivity in the city and there are important competitions. Some people, like 'El Selu', 'El Love' o 'El Canijo' sing funny songs and wear striking costumes every year.

    In San Roque, there was also a tent to dance and to have a nice time with friends. You should come next year!

ONE OF OUR SURVEYS

    Hi again!

    The members of A new world of possibilities have finished the survey about the sightseem tourism. The 80% of the survey respondents have chosen the option of ' both can be posible' (it is a good way of learning art and culture and it is great to enjoy). The 20% of the people prefere sightseem tourism only to learn art and culture.

    We propose you a new one about San Roque, the project which we are working about. Thank you very much for your participation and you can answer the new survey!

THE POPULATION

    Hello!

    As you know, we go on working on the project about San Roque and, this time I am going to tell you something about its population.

    Nowadays, there are 30,000 citizens, more or less, in San Roque. Approximately, 4,000 people are not Spanish, above all British, due to the influence of Gibraltar. The residents are distributed in the different districts or areas.

    The ‘Casco’ is the area with more people, 10800, the 40% of the inhabitants more or less. It is followed by the Valley of Guadiaro, with 8700 residents; the inland area with a population of 6200; and the bay where 4300 people live. 

     In this graphic, you can see the demography's evolution from 1900 to 2010.

THE BULLRING

    Hi everybody!

    I would like to tell you something interesting about a very famous monument in San Roque: the bullring.

    Our bullring was built in 1853, being the second oldest one in Cádiz, and one of the ancient bullrings of Spain. It was inaugurated in August 1853, in the fair of San Roque. Firstly, it was circled by forest, but little by little, the area was built and nowadays it is in the town centre.

    This place is used in the local fair in August and lots of important bullfighters have been here. The bullring was always private and just now, 20 years ago (in 1993) was bought by the Town Hall.

SOMETHING ABOUT SAN ROQUE

    Hello everybody!

    As you know, my name is Curro Manzano and I am a member of 'A new world of possibilities'.

    This term we are working on San Roque. I am the person in charge of looking for information about the geographic, municipal and social situation of this village.

    San Roque is located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. It is a village where there are 25,000 people living here, distributed in the town itself and its surroundings. Our village is formed by the city centre and the ten districts: Campamento, Puente Mayorga and Guadarranque (the area of the bay); Sotogrande, San Enrique, Guadiaro, Pueblo Nuevo and Torreguadiaro (the area of the Mediterranean Sea and the Valley of Guadiaro); and Taraguilla and La Estación (the inland area).

    San Roque belongs to the 'Campo de Gibraltar', an area which incorporates different towns of the south of Spain, in the province of Cádiz.

    That is all for now! I will inform you soon about more interesting aspects of San Roque and its surroundings.
