‘Where did the time go? Next week I will be 80! I spent half of my life building and improving this place. Kaat, my wife, runs the place while I maintain it and watch people enjoy the 18-hole Crazy Golf Course I built 4 years ago. The course is open to all, and you don’t have to reserve. Just turn up. We provide everything except for luck.

‘Oh yes, at the end of the bar I see Keith Floyd having a slurp with South London gangster Charlie Richardson and Bob Hoskins. Frank Carson tells a naughty story to Freddy Star. Cilla is laughing lorra-lorra! Helen Shapiro sings to Anni Frid (who was here for her daughter’s marriage) of ABBA. And, oh dear… Robert Carlisle is giving everybody ‘The Full Monty’! Paul recalls that “every picture and relic displayed above the bar told a story.”

The Roman Oasis in Sabinillas is still a popular place for many of the famous people from the Costa del Sol’s history. Open daily from 12pm, except on Wednesdays, for a family day out, crazy golf and pool or for team building exercises. You can make reservations online romanoasis.com You can call 711, 068 700.
