Rota is truly massive. I was dispatched there on temporary duty for two weeks in the early 90s [I was USAF, myself] and I walked and walked that installation in every direction. One day I was WAY distant from the main part of the base, and a U.S. diesel sub was docked at a very remote dock, and I talked my way on board for a short tour [luckily had my active duty military ID]. The rest is history -- it was the genesis of my love for all things naval.
