I know it's not the same thing, but my husband and I lived in La Linea, in Cadiz Spain for about 6 months many years ago. There are tons of places to go and Lots of things to see. With 3 years, you will be able to see so much.
Gibraltar is right there, and walking across the runway to get to " Irish Town " with its shops and restaurants is pretty cool. Morocco is a relatively short boat trip and would be great for a few days. We celebrated my husbands birthday by going to Portugal for a long weekend. The sky is the Limit. Grab a few guide books and go Everywhere.

I would do my own research if I were you. Only you know what will be of interest to you.
Get a map and find the towns nearby which you want to see. Then search google listing the town name and "sights" or "attractions". Make a list of the things you want to see when you get to that town.
If you don't have a map you can search on the web by asking for a map of the area you are interested in.

Oh, you are so lucky!! My husband is Navy too and we would love to get orders to Rota. I have friends that were stationed there and they absolutely loved it. Travel everywhere! Don't forget you'll be able to take ITT tours at great rates.
Also, there's a book called "Forty Day Trips from Rota: Easy Adventures in Southern Spain." You can buy it on Amazon or Barnes and Noble online.
Good luck!! I'm SO jealous!!!!
