Ben and Margaret, staying here at the moment, have told me that the old bowling greens in the Cabrera mountains were started by David Bryant, they are now disused. I’m trying to find out more about them and will go and see them. Memories of days before Sky tv when a sport fix was watching Bowls, Darts and Snooker.
What other celeb have lived here? Ian Botham has a place in Desert Springs and can often be spotted in Vera where his daughter has a bar. Gordon Goody, the great train robber ran a bar in Mojacar. Tony Christie lives here when not touring. Clive “Robin” Sarstedt plays and lives locally, there must be loads more.
Finca Arboleda is still waiting for it’s first celeb visitor, as far as I know.
