An interview with Rev'd Dr. Tony Carroll, Chaplain of the Costa del Sol West Anglican Chaplaincy

Rev. Adrian Low has two equally important, but very different, titles: Emeritus Professor of Computing Education at Staffordshire University, and Anglican Chaplain to the Costa del Sol West. Adrian, who lives in Estepona, recently visited the web development offices of andalucia.com to tell us about his two roles in two countries. He and his wife have three grown-up children based in Shanghai, Vancouver and England - a global family indeed.

Alpandeire is famed as the birthplace of a bearded monk, known later as Fray Leopold de Alpandeire. Born on 24 June 1866 and baptised as Francisco Tomas Marquez Sanchez, he became a local celebrity at the turn of the 19th century. At the age of 33 he left the village to become a Capuchin monk in Granada, where he remained until his death in 1956.
