Hi All,

Sorry I've been absent for a while I've had a lot on my plate recently, a couple of weeks back I was in Spain for a wedding in old Marbella so I took a wander from our Villa and had a poke around the place. On my travels searching for a 'cheap tab shop' I came across an abandoned Crazy Golf / Bar. I believe that it was either called The Cliopatra Club or perhaps that was another site that just joined onto the Crazy Golf course. Nevertheless I took a look and here are some photos that I hope you'll enjoy. I would have ventured further into the club but alas I was in holiday clothes and lacked a torch / urbex buddy so I didn't want to venture too far inside. Also there were several piles of obvious human excrement which both put me off and gave me the fear.

So anyway:

These next three were the only shots I got of the inside of the club but it was on several levels and had what appeared to be guest rooms. There was a lot more to this place than I've shown here but with only a crappy flash and no tripod I'll not bother, these give you an idea though:

So that was the club / golf course.

A short walk down from our Villa to the 'beach' there was this strange fortification which I couldn't access due to extreme moss covering of the surfaces which made climbing up the back of it risky at best. Impossible to walk in this muck... no footing at all.

You can see where the only other option for climbing in had been cemented up by a crack force of die-hard spanish workmen:

One last one -

After the wedding in Old Marbella we were all shipped out to what had once been a large country house for the wedding reception. It was an amazing place and the drinks were free, woo !

Fuelled on as much booze as I could take ontop of caviar and cheese nibbles I stagged around the back of the impressive home and snapped this one lonely photo, although I did go inside the place was largely a shell and contained nothing more than many terracotta pots strewn all over the floor and extensive vegitation. Oh yeah there was a lemon tree and an orange tree but the oranges were being feasted upon by wasps and the lemons were very bitter indeed. :sick:

I can provide flash earth links for anyone who's going to be in the area except for the last picture because I was too drunk to know where I'd been taken, I suppose at a push I could find out but maybe some things are best left for another day.
 
the water in your 7th picture looks well manky!:(

interesting to see something different:)
 
loving the muriel on the bar there used to be some framed prints of the same cartoon sketches in a local pub but its being re-developed into a resturant/pub......another english country boozer bites the dust :(
 
Great explore! You know your a true 'Urbexer' (if thats a word) when you cant even go on holiday without getting the itch to do an explore.
 
Thanks guys,

I know, I can't resist the siren call of urbex...

I spotted that site on my first day and promised myself I'd go back and check it out, well worth it !

I have to say I saw loads more that could have been done but I didn't have that much time to play with so they'll remain waiting for the next time I'm there. :)
 
Nice one mate. I have been wondering where you were, haven't seen you on here in a while! I think if I did any urbex while on holiday the girlfriend would never speak to me again! Cool place that and a bit different too, and the bar paintings are great.
 
That's a really cheerful explore...nice and quirky. Love the way nature's gradually taking over. Someone seems to have had issues with the fridge, though! :lol:
 
Thanks for the comments guys !

Quite frankly for the price of an easyjet flight to malaga and a cheap hotel you could make a damn fine urbex holiday out of that area.

So much more to see than I had the chance to do!

All of my annual leave is now spoken for due to 4x4 events I'm booked into but I'm hoping to find some time later in the year to make a return trip and cover some more ground, noone seemed bothered by me poking around and the language barrier would make it easy to just bugger off from somewhere if you got caught... not that I saw any 'security' signage.

Women ey? They just dont understand the appeal of Urbex.

(and before there's some sort of big feminist uproar, I was only kidding, you see I too am a woman)
 
That old fort looks interesting :)
Should you return, don't forget to take your bat utility belt with grappling hook! ;)
Nice photos -the old golf course looks -well -crazy! :lol:

I know its a bit late for a reply, ive only regestered last nite, ive been to this site, the golf course and bar have been derelict for over 3 years(the time ive lived here) even though the date on the bar is 2004, so i dont know if it ever opened as it dosnt look finished, or if it did it wasnt for long. after some reasearch i think the golf course and the bar to the rite (with falling apart roofterrace and downstairs bar) was the same business, (as far as im aware), the club (cleopatras) was a strip joint, and brothel! thats what the extra rooms are for!!;) and i think that was open for a while.
Good find, at least im not alone here!
the other structure was a torre, they are all along the coast, i think they used to be watch towers.
Hope this gives a bit more information as its a good, if not smelly site!
If anyone does want an urbex holiday, pm me. theres quite a bit of unexplored stuff here (nothing that old though!)

To my mind the craziest thing about golf is that anyone bothers their arse to play it. The best thing to do with a crazy golf course is let it go derelict, then we get to see some cool explores like this one. Spot on, well done.:)
 
:lol: Me, I'd rather watch my computer defrag! :mrgreen:

I feel the same.

Over here in Western Australia they only seen to play golf when its blistering hot or bucketing down with rain there's something not right in the head of golfer's :lol:

Great Pic's :)
