we’re not out to be the next Pullitzer Prizewinners, just keep our readers up-to-date and in the know regarding what’s going on your area.

This is something we intend to continue and build on over the next 5 years.

Back to this issue, following a busy couple of months there are still a number of events to look forward, one of the biggest of which is Manilva’s Vendimia - grape harvest festival which takes place on the first weekend in September.

People come from miles around to join the Manilveños in celebrating the municipality’s grape and wine production, which is still an integral part of the local economy.

Well I’ll keep it short this month as I’m sure you’re eager to get on and read this month’s content. So until next month, goodbye.

Welcome to the August, 2011 issue of The Resident. This issue is quite a milestone for us as it is the 60th edition and marks 5 years since the launch of the The Resident newspaper.

A lot has happened in those sixty months, one of the most momentous being the decision to become a bilingual publication, which despite all the difficulties that entailed has been one of the best decisions we’ve made.

Despite the difficult financial environment in which we have to operate, The Resident has still stuck to its original mandate, which is to provide information, and factual articles, to the entire community both English and Spanish speaking, and to leave the muckraking, sensationalist journalism, and fiction to other publications. At the end of the day

recibir los premios Pullitzer, tan solo pretendemos mantener informados a nuestros lectores e informarles de lo que pasa en nuestra zona.

Esto es algo que intentamos continuar y mantener al menos los próximos cinco años siguientes.

Volviendo a esta edición, y habiendo tenido un par de meses muy ocupados y de bastante ocio, todavía tenemos más eventos, uno de ellos es la esperada Vendimia de Manilva, festival de la uva, el cual tendrá lugar el primer fin de semana de Septiembre. Muchas personas vienen de lejos para unirse a los Manilveños en su gran celebración por su producción de uva y vino en todo el municipio, parte importante de la economía local.

Este mes escribo poco ya que estoy seguro de que estáis deseando empezar a leer el contenido del periódico. Así pues, hasta el mes que viene.

Bienvenidos a la edición de Agosto de 2011 de nuestro periódico The Resident. Esta edición significa mucho para nosotros ya que es la 60ª edición y eso quiere decir que llevamos cinco años desde que lanzamos nuestro periódico The Resident.

Ha ocurrido bastante en esos sesenta meses, uno de esos momentos importantes es cuando decidimos publicar en inglés y en español, que a pesar de las dificultades que ello conlleva, ha sido una de las mejores decisiones que hemos hecho.

A pesar de las dificultades financieras en que tenemos que llevar a cabo el periódico, el periódico The Resident tiene todavía su original objetivo, que es dar información, publicar artículos, etc... a la comunidad de habla inglesa y española, y dejar el periodismo sensacionalista para otros.

Visita a la obra en los antiguos juzgados, Detenido un hombre en La Línea que donde irá la primera casa de la juventud de preparaba atentados para Al Qaeda una red en todo el municipio La Guardia Civil ha detenido en La Chiba había hecho el juramento Línea de la Concepción a un ciudadano marroquí de 37 años, acusado de pertenecer a Al Qaeda en el Magreb Islámico (AQMI) y que preparaba atentados para esta organización.

Abdellatif Aoulad Chiba gestionaba un foro yihadista de contenido radical en el que había recabado información para producir armas químicas. Los agentes también le han encontrado varios manuales sobre este tipo de material, que había descargado de internet.

de fidelidad a AQMI y estaba solicitando a varios jefes de la organización permiso para realizar atentados en nombre de la organización.

Según fuentes de Interior, la paradoja es que el detenido era lo que los agentes de la lucha antiterrorista denominan “un lobo solitario”, es decir, un individuo que llevaba una vida aparentemente occidentalizada y se relacionaba poco con otros musulmanes.

Spanish police arrest terror suspect in La Línea

El alcalde, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, y el teniente de alcalde delegado de Fiestas, José Antonio Rojas, han visitado hoy, miércoles, las instalaciones de los antiguos juzgados de San Roque, donde se pretende abrir en la primavera de 2012 el primero de los centros de ocio juvenil que van a ponerse en marcha a lo largo de estos cuatro años en cada uno de los distritos del municipio.

El primer edil señaló que “además de albergar a los departamentos de Fiestas y Juventud, estas instalaciones serán la primera de una red de casas de la juventud que queremos promover en todo el municipio. Ya tenemos una propuesta

de la Coordinadora Alternativas para poner en marcha un centro de ocio juvenil en la Estación de San Roque, y nos comprometemos a que en la Bahía y en el Valle del Guadiaro sigamos sumando más centros a esta red”.

En cuanto a los antiguos juzgados, Ruiz Boix dijo que “se trata de unas instalaciones magníficas en pleno centro de la ciudad para que este local funcione, en horario de mañana y tarde, como lugar de encuentro y ocio. No sólo como una sala de exposiciones, sino que aquí se promuevan las actividades que demanden los mismos jóvenes”.

Mayor visits the old courthouse building, where the first youth club in a network throughout the municipality will be situated The mayor, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, and the deputy mayor delegate of Festivals, José Antonio Rojas, have visited the facilities of the old courts of San Roque, where they intend to open the first of the youth centres in the spring of 2012 that will start up in the next four years in each of the districts of the municipality.

The town councilor pointed out that “as well as containing the departments of Festivals and Youth, these facilities will be the first of a network of youth centres we want to promote in the municipality. We already

have a proposal from the Alternatives Coordinator to open a youth centre in the San Roque station, and we are committed to opening more youth centres in the Bahía and in the Valle del Guadiaro”.

As for the old courts, Ruiz Boix said “they are magnificent facilities in the middle of the city so that these premises serve as a meeting place and leisure centre in the morning and afternoon. Not only as an exhibition room, but also for the promotion of activities in demand amongst young people.

Police in Spain have arrested a suspected member of al-Qaida’s North African offshoot, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb.

The 37-year-old Moroccan man, Abdellatif Aoulad Chiba, was arrested Wednesday in the southern Spanish coastal town of La Linea de la Concepcion. He is suspected of running an Internet site that sought to recruit members to carry out attacks and provide training materials and propaganda.

The website, which is based in Spain but was not named, was described as a jihadist forum with radical content and manuals

aimed at encouraging terrorist acts.

Police became suspicious and started an investigation after an increase in traffic on the website.

Officials say Chiba had previously been expelled from Jordan for suspected terror-related activities, but gave no other details.

Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb is an offshoot of al-Qaida that sprang from an Algerian insurgency movement and is suspected in a number of suicide bomb attacks and ambushes in Algeria.

El alcalde de San Roque recibe a representantes de la EU Parques de Sotogrande El alcalde, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, ha recibido en la mañana de hoy, jueves, a representantes de la Entidad Urbanística de Conservación Parques de Sotogrande.

En el encuentro, el primer edil ha escuchado sus sugerencias sobre la colaboración municipal en cuestiones como playas, seguridad y mantenimiento urbano de la zona citada.

Esta entidad agrupa a más de 3.000 propietarios de inmuebles en la urbanización sanroqueña (prácticamente la totalidad de la superficie de Sotogrande excepto la zona del puerto) y tiene competencias en el mantenimiento general de la urbanización (alumbrado público, jardinería, adecentamiento, vigilancia...).

San Roque Mayor meets with representatives from EU Parques de Sotogrande The Mayor of San Roque, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, met this week with representatives of EU Parques de Sotogrande. The ‘Entidad’ which represents some 3,000 property owners in Sotogrande (virtually all of Sotogrande apart from the Port) met with the mayor to discuss collaboration between

it and the municipal authorities as well as to discuss matters regarding the beaches, security and urban maintenance.

The Entidad is responsible for general maintenance on the Sotogrande urbanisation, such as street lighting, gardens, security, etc.

Casares

The Resident - www.theresident.es

Los Chiringuitos de Casares se llenan de turistas y residentes en agosto La gran mayoría de las terrazas de los chiringuitos, ubicadas en Playa Ancha, junto a la Torre de la Sal o en La Perla de la Bahía están llenas de veraneantes.

Según los restauradores consultados, hay quienes son más optimistas y afirman que están teniendo “una buena temporada”, en cambio otros más escépticos manifiestan su preocupación respeto a septiembre y aseguran que otros veranos fueron mejores.

Los dueños comentan que el 50% de sus clientes son turistas ingleses, alemanes y noruegos y el resto son españoles. Los fines de semana es difícil conseguir mesa sin reserva en los chiringuitos, ya que están al 100%, manteniendo también una ocupación muy alta entre semana.

En cuanto al consumo, los chiringuitos

de playa consideran que los clientes gastan menos que otros años. No ocurre igual en el nuevo club de playa perteneciente al Hotel Gran Lujo Finca Cortesín, donde el gasto es muy alto, los clientes gastan más que otros años en el hotel. Para Cortesín esta temporada está siendo mejor que la pasada, en la primera quincena de agosto han pasado por el nuevo club de playa 1250 personas, ocupando también las mesas del restaurante.

Las previsiones para septiembre varían en función del tipo de establecimiento, mientras Finca Cortesín hace una previsión muy buena por el alto número de reservas que ya tiene, los chiringuitos prevén que bajará el número de clientes, aunque creen que consumirán más.

Amigos y Vecinos de Marina de Casares El 29 de Julio tuvo lugar una merienda para 68 hombres y mujeres y niños a fin de celebrar la inauguración de aula de la Asociación que tan amablemente nos ha cedido el Ayuntamiento de Casares.

Asistió la Sra. Alcaldesa Antonia Morera Rojas y Juan Jesús Rodríguez Manzano Concejal de Costas.

Doña Antonia disfrutó mucho de la velada y dijo estar muy contenta de relacionarse con nuestro Club que es tan exitoso y bien integrado, y desearía poder atender más eventos si su agenda se lo permite. Durante la tarde actuó la artista local María Solar Gonzales, con un espectáculo de Sevillanas que fue entusiastamente aplaudido.

Seguimos encargándonos de la biblioteca de la playa, que cerrará el 31 de Agosto.

La playa parece estar menos ocupada este año y nuestros bibliotecarios han

estado trabajando por turnos de martes a domingos, entregando información turística de Casares y el Secadero, el periódico local The Resident y libros, en distintos idiomas, lo que les ha permitido mejorar su inglés/español según la ocasión.

Torneo de Billar, Tennis de Mesa y dardos, “clases de conversación en inglés y español, la organización de una mesa de bebida y comida durante el festival playero” que organizará el Ayuntamiento, todo será durante el mes de Agosto, incluido un especial sobre Marruecos el 20 de Agosto y también una cena de “Fish and Chips” más adelante.

Para más información, o si desea pertenecer a la asociación, contacte con: maria.hammond@hotmail.co.uk

The chiringuitos in Casares are doing a brisk trade this month The majority of the beach bars on the beaches of Casares, such as Playa Ancha, Torre de la Sal or in La Perla have been full of summer visitors.

Some owners were more optimistic reporting a good season whilst others, more sceptical, were expressing concerns for September and mentioned that past summers have been better.

According to feedback from these owners some 50% of the clients are British, German, or Scandinavian tourists, with the remaining 50% being Spanish nationals.

All agree that at weekends it is difficult to

get a table without a reservation due to the numbers, with weekdays also busy.

All agree though that the average customer is spending less than in previous years, but the new beach club, run by Hotel Finca Cortesin has reported good business in the first half of the month with some 1,250 clients making use of the facilities.

Looking ahead to September Finca Cortesin have reported a good level of bookings, many of whom will use the Beach Club, whilst other establishments are not so confident.

Nuevo mirador en el Puerto de la Cruz Los alumnos del módulo de jardinería de la Escuela Taller de Casares construyen con el apoyo del Ayuntamiento un nuevo mirador en el Puerto de la Cruz, frente al Colegio Blas Infante.

El concejal de Medio Ambiente, Pepe Carrasco, que visitó la zona para supervisar junto al profesorado los trabajos que se estaban realizando, ha explicado que se trata de labores de adecentamiento para resaltar el mirador natural ya existente junto a la antigua cruz.

De hecho los alumnos de la Escuela Taller se encuentran actualmente

realizando labores selectivas de desbroce con la intención quitar parte del matorral aunque respetando la vegetación autóctona en la que se encuentran representadas la mayoría de las especies de la zona: cornicabra, coscoja, lentisco, acebuches y algarrobos.

Además se van a respetar los senderos existentes en el lugar, suavizando algunas zonas rocosas para hacer más fácil el paseo pero respetando el terreno, ya que la intención es conservar las rocas calizas de erosión kársticas que da un aspecto tan singular al paisaje.

New viewpoint in Puerto de la Cruz Students on the gardening course at the Casares Worshop School have built, with the assistance of the town hall, a new viewpoint in the Puerto de la Cruz area in front of the Colegio Blas Infante school.

The Councillor for the Environment, Pepe Carrasco, visited the works to see how the project was progressing. The students are working clearing the scrub whilst preserving the best of the native vegetation susch as the wild olive, mastic bushes, carob trees, etc.

They have also improved the existing

Friends and Neighbours of Marina de Casares On the 29th of July our association put on a “cream tea” to inaugurate the new club room kindly provided to us by the Ayuntamiento of Casares. Two of the many guests were the Mayor Antonia Morera Rojas and Juan Jesus Rodriguez. The Mayor said she enjoyed the evening and was happy to be associated with such a successful and integrated association. She also said she looked forward to attending more of our events, time permitting. During the event we were entertained by one of our local girls Maria Solar Gonzales with “Sevillana dancing”, who received enthusiastic applause. We are still very involved with the beach library that ends on the 31st of August. The beach seems to have been a little quieter this year and our librarians have been working shifts from Tuesdays

to Sundays handing out tourist information about Casares and Secadero, The Resident newspaper, and books in several languages, they have also been brushing up on their English and Spanish when the occasion arises. There is a lot going on in August at the club including Billiards, Table Tennis, and Darts Competition, and some Spanish and English conversation on the beach. There is also a fish and chip supper and a special Moroccan evening planned for later during August. A few of the men and ladies meet Monday afternoons and Thursday mornings for golf at Doña Julia golf club, if you are interested in golf please get in touch.

La Policía Local alerta de un fraude en cajeros automáticos

La Policia Local de Manilva ha alertado sobre un nuevo fraude que está ocurriendo en los cajeros automáticos de la localidad. En esta ocasión, los ladrones han desarrollado una especie de placa metálica que adosada a la ranura de salida del dinero, impide que los usuarios de los cajeros puedan retirarlo, creyendo estos que el cajero esta averiado. Una vez que el usuario desaparece, los ladrones aprovechan para extraer la placa metálica y llevarse el dinero.

Hasta el momento se han registrado dos casos en Sabinillas, concretamente en la sucursal de Banesto, por lo que la Policía Local ha dado traslado de lo ocurrido al

director de esta oficina.

No es la primera vez que este tipo de ladrones actuá en la localidad, según informaba el sub-inspector jefe de la Policia Local en Manilva, Francisco Luque. En otras ocasiones han utilizado elementos más sofisticados como el Lazo Libanés.

Ante esta situación la Policia Local recomienda que antes de sacar dinero de un cajero, nos fijemos bien en que la ranura por donde sale, no esté tapada, y en caso de darse una situación similar, lo comuniquen inmediatamente al cuerpo de seguridad local, para actuar lo más rápidamente posible, sobre estos enemigos de la ley.

The local police warn about fraud in bank cash machines The local police of Manilva have issued a warning about a new type of fraud ocurring in ATM machines in the area. In this instance, the thieves have developed a kind of metal plate that prevents the exit of cash from the machine when fitted over the opening, leading users to believe the machine is broken. Once the user has left the machine they proceed to remove the metal plate and take the money.

For the moment two cases have been reported in Sabinillas, specifically in the Banesto branch, whose manager has been informed of the problem by the local police.

It’s not the first time these kind of thieves have been operating in the area, according to the chief subinspector of the local police in Manilva, Francisco Luque. On other occasions more sophisticated elements have been used such as the Lebanese Loop.

In this situation the local police recommend that before using an ATM machine, you should check the opening where the money comes out, making sure the opening isn’t obstructed, and if so, report it immediately to the local law enforcement body so they can take action as soon as possible to detain these criminals.

El ayuntamiento solicita colaboración vecinal para conseguir el servicio de urgencias 24 horas Se ha elaborado un documento para la recogida de firmas de vecinos y visitantes que se está distribuyendo por dependencias municipales, comercios y sedes de asociaciones.

Un paso más en una gestión aún no acabada. El Ayuntamiento de Manilva ha solicitado reiteradamente a la Junta de Andalucía, sobre todo en los últimos años, que el Servicio Andaluz de Salud asuma el coste de todo aquello que le compete y que viene sufragando el Ayuntamiento, como es el servicio de urgencias sanitarias las 24 horas en el Centro de Salud de Sabinillas.

Hace unas semanas un trágico suceso con desenlace fatal ocurrido en las playas de Sabinillas, en el que fallecía una menor de 10 años de edad, volvía a sacar a la palestra esta deficiencia de emergencias provocando incluso una manifestación vecinal solicitando el servicio de urgencias 24 horas.

Ahora, la alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, en nombre y representación del Ayuntamiento, ha iniciado una campaña de recogida de firmas para solicitar al SAS este servicio. Según recoge el texto del escrito que se está repartiendo por todas las dependencias municipales, sedes de asociaciones y grupos políticos que lo deseen, comercios y Policía Local, se solicita la adhesión vecinal para poder transmitir a los responsables en Málaga y Sevilla de la Consejería de Salud de la Junta de Andalucía lo que en el término municipal de Manilva es ya un clamor popular.

El Ayuntamiento de Manilva, continúa el escrito repartido por el municipio, quiere personarse como hilo conductor de esta petición al SAS en nombre de todos y cada uno de los vecinos y visitantes para poder obtener el servicio 24 horas.

Town Hall seeks public cooperation with petition for 24 emergency medical cover The Manilva Town Council has prepared a document for the collection of signatures of residents and visitors, which is being distributed to municipal offices, shops and various associations in order to create a petition to present to the Junta de Andalucia to demand a 24 hour medical service in our municipality. This is another step towards the solution of an ongoing problem as the town council has repeatedly requested that the Junta de Andalucia, especially in the last few years, assumes the cost through the Andalucian Health service, for a 24 hour emergency health service at Sabinillas Health Centre, which at the moment, the town council is paying the cost, for which it is not responsible. A few

weeks ago, a tragic event occurred, when a 10 year old child died on the beach at La Colonia, bringing to the fore the deficiency of the emergency health service. This tragic event led to many public demonstrations.

Now, the Mayor, Antonia Muñoz, representing Manilva, has begun this campaign to collect signatures to request, once more, this emergency service which is an initiative which has been welcomed by everyone. The text of the petition to be signed by as many as possible, will be presented to those people responsible for the Andalucian Health Service, both in Malaga and Seville, to make them aware of the outcry in our municipality.

Manilva Solicitors Impuestos a pagar por los vendedores cuando venden su propiedad Es muy importante que los vendedores de inmuebles sean conscientes por adelantado de los impuestos que tendrán que pagar cuando vendan sus propiedades.

Cuando tiene lugar una operación de compraventa inmobiliaria, la mayoría de los impuestos y gastos (tales como / % de Transmisiones Patrimoniales, honorarios notariales y registrales) son pagados por los compradores; pero los vendedores deben saber que ellos también tendrán que pagar impuestos, Estos son:

Impuesto local de plusvalia.

Este es un impuesto sobre el incremento de valor del suelo desde el momento en que tuvo lugar la ultima transmisión de dominio. Este impuesto es calculado por el Ayuntamiento donde la propiedad está situada, y la cantidad de impuestos a pagar dependerá de muchos factores, tales como: el número de habitantes del municipio, metros cuadrados de suelo; tiempo transcurrido desde la última transmisión de dominio, etc.

Cuando se vende una propiedad inmobiliaria es siempre recomendable ir por adelantado al Ayuntamiento para obtener una estimación del Impuesto de Plusvalia, para evitar una desagradable sorpresa en el momento de completar la venta de la propiedad.

Impuesto incremento patrimonio Este es un impuesto sobre el beneficio

o ganancia, si hay alguno, que los vendedores obtienen cuando venden su propiedad. Este impuesto se paga a la Agencia Tributaria española y es calculado teniendo en cuenta la diferencia entre el precio de compra pagado (+ los impuestos y gastos de la compra) y el precio de venta (+ los impuestos y gastos de la venta).

El precio de compra es actualizado teniendo en cuenta la fecha de adquisición con un coeficiente de actualización que el Gobierno español aprueba cada año.

El impuesto sobre la ganancia patrimonial es calculado teniendo en cuenta la diferencia entre el precio de compra + los impuestos de gastos de la compra (debidamente actualizado); y el precio de venta + los impuestos y gastos de la venta. El tipo del impuesto es el 19 % de los primero 6,000 euros de ganancia y el 21 % por el resto de ganancia sobre lo anterior.

Como con la plusvalía municipal, cuando se vende un bien inmueble es recomendable averiguar por adelantado una estimación de los impuestos a pagar por la ganancia patrimonial para evitar gastos inesperados.

Dependiendo de la situación fiscal en España, la ganancia patrimonial a pagar se hace de diferentes formas: Si los vendedores son NO RESIDENTES en España, el comprador de la propiedad

está obligado por ley a retener el 3 % del precio de venta y pagarlo a la Agencia Tributaria española en nombre de los vendedores. Esto garantiza el pago del impuesto sobre la ganancia patrimonial a la Agencia tributaria.

Después de completar la venta de la propiedad y una vez que el 3 % de retención ha sido pagado por los compradores en nombre de los vendedores, los vendedores deben calcular su ganancia patrimonial para asegurarse si el 3 % ya pagado cubre todo el impuesto, o si una cantidad extra de impuestos debe ser pagada. Ellos también pueden tener el derecho de reclamar una devolución de impuestos si hay una perdida en la venta, o si la cantidad pagada es mayor del impuesto a pagar.

Si los vendedores son RESIDENTES FISCALES en España, el comprador no retiene el 3 % del precio de venta. El vendedor tiene que declarar y pagar el impuesto por la ganancia patrimonial, i hay alguna, al año siguiente de completar la venta de la propiedad. Por tanto, si la propiedad se vende en el año 2011, el impuesto por la ganancia patrimonial se tendrá que pagar en el año 2012, cuando los vendedores presenten su declaración de la renta.

Nosotros recomendamos que cualquier que esté pensando en vender su propiedad planifique esto por adelantado y averigüe

las cantidades a pagar por los posibles impuestos. Somos de la opinión que los vendedores siempre necesitan asistencia profesional de un abogado para vender sus propiedades, para que todos los impuestos a pagar por los vendedores sean pagados correctamente. También, en los casos en los que los vendedores no obtienen un beneficio por la venta (cosa bastante común hoy día porque los precio de los inmuebles han bajado dramáticamente), se les puede asistir para reclamar la devolución a la que puedan tener derecho de la Agencia Tributaria.

Si estás pensando en vender tu propiedad, o estas ahora mismo envuelto la la venta de la misma, y quieres conocer con antelación la cantidad de impuestos que tendrás que pagar, por favor no dudes en contactarnos. Estaremos encantados de reunirnos contigo sin pago alguno para estudiar tu caso particular en detalle y darte una estimación precisa de los impuestos a pagar.

Manilva Solicitors Taxes to be paid by sellers when selling their real estate properties land; the time that has passed since last transmission of ownership, etc, etc.

When selling a real estate property it is always advisable to go in advance to your local Town Hall to get an estimate of this “Plusvalia Tax”, to avoid an unpleasant surprise at the time of completing the sale of your property.

Capital gains tax

It is very important that the Sellers of real estate properties are aware in advance of the taxes they will have to pay at the time of completing the sale of their properties.

When a real estate property transaction takes place, most of taxes and expenses (such us 7 % Transfer tax, notary fees and land registry fees) are paid by the Buyers; but the Sellers should know that they will also have to pay some taxes. These are:

Local plusvalia tax This is a tax on the increase of value of the land from when the last transmission of ownership took place. This is calculated by the local Town Hall where the property is situated, and the amount of taxes to be paid would depend upon many factors, such as; the number of citizens in the municipality; the size in square meters of

This is a tax on the profit, if any, that the sellers make when selling a property.

This tax has to be paid to the Spanish Inland Revenue (Agencia Tributaria) and is calculated taking into account the difference between the purchase price paid (+ taxes and expenses of the purchase) and selling price (+ taxes and expenses of the sale).

The purchase price is updated, from the date of acquisition of the property, with a rate, (coeficiente de actualizacion del valor de adqusición), approved by the Spanish Government every year.

The Capital Gains Tax to be paid is calculated by taking into account the difference between the purchase price + taxes and expenses of the purchase, (duly updated), and the selling price + taxes and expenses of the sale. The Capital Gains Tax rate is calculated at a rate of 19% for the first 6,000 euros profit and at a rate of 21 % for any amount above this.

As with the local Plusvalia Tax, when selling

a real estate property it is also advisable to find out in advance an estimate of the Capital Gains Tax to be paid to avoid unexpected expenses.

Depending upon the seller’s tax status in Spain, the Capital Gains Tax has to be paid in different ways: If the Sellers are NON TAX RESIDENTS in Spain, the Buyer of the property is obliged by law to withhold 3 % of the selling price and pay it to the Spanish Inland Revenue on behalf of the Sellers. This guarantees the payment of the Capital Gains Tax to the Spanish Inland Revenue.

After completing the sale of the property and when the 3 % withholding tax has been paid by the Buyers on behalf of the Sellers, the Sellers should calculate their Capital Gains Tax to ensure that the 3 % tax already paid covers the Capital Gains Tax, or if an extra amount needs to be paid. They may even have the right to claim back a tax refund if a loss rather than a profit was made on the sale, or if the amount paid is higher than the actual Capital Gains Tax due.

If the sellers are TAX RESIDENTS in Spain, the Buyer does not withhold 3 % of the selling price. The Sellers have to declare and pay the Capital Gains Tax, if any, the year after completing the sale of their property. Therefore, if the property is sold in 2011, the Capital Gains Tax would have to be paid in 2012, when the Sellers file their annual Income Tax Returns.

We recommend that anyone who is thinking of selling a property should plan it in advance and find out the amounts of possible taxes to be paid. We are of the opinion that Sellers always need the professional assistance of a solicitor for completing the sale of their properties, so that the taxes to be paid by the Sellers are settled and paid correctly. Also, in cases when the Sellers do not make a profit from the sale, (quite common at this moment when the prices of real estate property have gone down dramatically), we can assist them to claim any tax refund to which they have the right to receive from the Spanish Inland Revenue Should you be thinking of selling your real estate property or are involved in the sale of it, and wish to know in advance the amount of taxes that you will have to pay, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be pleased to meet you free of charge to study your particular case in detail and provide you with a precise estimation on taxes to be paid.

II Bobby Moore Charity Golf Tournament

Manilva Grape Festival Manilva celebrates its annual Vendimia - harvest festival on the first weekend in September.

Along with the Axarquia and the Montes de Malaga areas, Manilva is an important centre for the production of the Moscatel grape which, when dried on the local hillsides, provides the world famous ‘Pasas de Malaga’, the Malaga raisin, as well as a range of wines from dry to the sweet ‘Malaga’ wine.

There have been vineyards in Manilva since the 16th Century but the industry enjoyed its heyday during the 17th and 18th centuries when Manilva was a major producer of wines and brandies.

Unfortunately the local vineyards saw a decline during the 19th century which culminated in the destruction of the vines by the Phylloxera epidemic which

decimated vineyards throughout Europe in the 1860s.

It wasn’t until after the Spanish Civil War that Manilva took up grape growing as an important economic activity centred on the sweet Moscatel grape which is ideally suited to Manilva’s climate, situation and soil type.

Every year, on the first weekend in September, Manilva celebrates its annual grape harvest. This festival was founded in the early ‘60s and has become an important part of the local calendar, drawing in visitors from all across the region.

This year the festival falls on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of September.

Vendimia Programme Saturday, 3rd September 8.00 am Everybody up with the larks, with rockets being let off and the Municipal Band performing through the streets of Manilva.

In the afternoon there will be a Mass in honour of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores and a performance by the church choir in the Iglesia Santa Ana. Afterwards the Virgen will be borne from the church to the stage in Calle Mar where she will be presented with an offering of grapes, after which the competition for the best bunch of grapes takes place.

10.00 pm Music and dancing into the early hours in Manilva’s Calle Mar. Street festival Sunday, 4th September Midday sees the inauguration of the Day Feria with music, dancing and plenty of food and drink throughout the afternoon and evening. Later in the afternoon at a around 5 pm there is a procession of riders through the streets, followed by at around 7pm the ceremonial first treading of the grapes and a chance to sample the first ‘mosto’ grape juice of the season.

The second annual Bobby Moore Charity Golf Tournament organised by David Hewitt of Hewitt & Hewitt Graphic Design and Stewart Heath of the Leisure Lounge Bar in Duquesa Port was held at Duquesa Golf on Sunday 31st July, and successfully raised 3,000 euros for the Bobby Moore Fund, a charity for research into bowel cancer which was established by Stephanie Moore MBE in 1993 in memory of her late husband, the legendary footballer Bobby Moore, who sadly died from bowel cancer aged just 51 years.

The prize giving, which took place in the evening at the Duquesa Hotel was attended by in excess of 170 people

with entertainment being provided by the popular rock band, Costa Rock.

“Nearest the pin” prizes were awarded to Team Everard (Hole 1), D.Bowes (Hole 3) A.Cappri (Hole 5) Team Challis (Hole 6) Team Everard (Hole 8) Team Statham (Hole 9) Team Wilkins (Hole 10) B.Griffiths (Hole 11) Team Everard (Hole 12) G.Fellows (Hole 15) D.Thatcher (Hole 17) and Team Wilkins (Hole 18).

Third prize in the competition went to P.Everard, D.Cootes, B.Gaston and I.Rance.

Second place was P.Nash, D.Wilkins, G.Lynx and M.Jones. and the coveted First prize was won by D.Statham, A.Stanley, G.Fellows and D.Bowes.

El Ayuntamiento toma posesión de las nuevas instalaciones del Parque de Bomberos, cerradas desde 2007

El Ayuntamiento de Estepona ha tomado posesión de las instalaciones del nuevo Parque de Bomberos, cuya obra se inauguró en 2007, aunque no se ha puesto en funcionamiento durante este tiempo. “En apenas mes y medio hemos conseguido desbloquear un asunto que ha estado paralizado durante más de cuatro años y hemos logrado que estas instalaciones sean ya del pueblo de Estepona”, ha manifestado el alcalde de Estepona, José María García Urbano, que ha recordado que con esto se da cumplimiento al compromiso adquirido de iniciar desde el primer día de gobierno las gestiones necesarias para conseguir este objetivo.

El regidor ha visitado esta mañana -junto a otros responsables municipalesel nuevo Parque de Bomberos y ha anunciado que la toma de posesión de las instalaciones ha sido posible gracias al acuerdo “fruto del consenso entre las partes implicadas” para, por un lado, resolver el contrato con la mercantil Trigemer, SA -que ejecutó la obra de construcción de este recinto- y, por otro, reconocer las deudas pendientes.

Tras conseguir culminar este procedimiento administrativo, el Ayuntamiento ya trabaja en empezar a acometer las obras que son necesarias para que las instalaciones sean finalizadas en su totalidad y entren a funcionar.

Estas actuaciones serán realizadas en todo lo que sea posible, por las brigadas de operarios municipales para abrir “cuanto antes” el Parque de Bomberos.

“Se necesitan algunas reparaciones debido a que el recinto ha estado cerrado y abandonado durante cuatro años”, ha apuntado el regidor.

“El objetivo es evitar que se siga incrementando el grado de deterioro en el que están estas instalaciones por la dejadez de los anteriores responsables municipales”, ha señalado el primer edil, que ha asegurado que se le va a dar prioridad a la ejecución de las actuaciones pendientes para abrir este equipamiento.

Al respecto, el alcalde se ha preguntado por qué desde 2007 nadie ha sido capaz de realizar estas gestiones, que ha calificado de “sencillas”, para poder disponer de este equipamiento que “mejorará el servicio que se presta y las condiciones en las que trabajan los bomberos”.

Así, García Urbano ha incidido además en “la falta de sensibilidad” que los anteriores responsables municipales han tenido con el colectivo, que “ha permanecido en un edificio que no reúne las condiciones mínimas para desempeñar la labor de seguridad que llevan a cabo”.

En esta línea, la concejala adscrita al área de Recursos Humanos, Susana Aragón, ha anunciado que los esfuerzos del equipo de gobierno irán ahora dirigidos a cumplir con las peticiones planteadas por los bomberos, encaminadas a mejorar la dotación de recursos materiales con los que trabajan.

Por su parte, el jefe de Bomberos y

The Council takes possession of the new firestation facilities, four years after they were completed The Estepona council has taken over the facilities of the new firestation, the building which was inaugurated in 2007, but since then has stood idle. “In barely a month and a half we have been able to sort out and issue that has been paralyzed for over four years and we have made the instalations the property of the town of Estepona”, said the mayor of Estepona, Jose Maria Garcia Urbano, who also stated that with this the electoral commitment made to begin this

process from the beginning of the current government has been fulfilled.

The Mayor, together with other municipal officials, has visited the new firestation recently and has announced that the takeover of the facilities has been made possible by agreement “the outcome of the consensus of the parties responsible” for, on one hand, the resolution of the contract with the Trigemer, SA the company responsible for the execution of the

building works as well as the recognition of the pending debts.

After achieving the conclusion of this administrative procedure, the Council is already working to start the building works necessary to complete the facility and put it to use. These works will be carried out, where possible solely by the council’s own workforce and the aim is to open the firestation as soon as possible. “Some repairs are necessary due to the fact the precinct has been closed and abandoned for four years” added the Mayor.

“The aim is to avoid the continued deterioration of the instalations due to the adandonment by the former municipal officials”, the deputy has pointed out, who has assured that the execution of the works necessary to open the facility will be prioritized.

In relation to this, the mayor has asked why no one has been able to undertake these “simple” steps in four years to make this facility available to “Improve the services offered and the working conditions of the firemen”.

Garcia Urbano has also commented on the “lack of empathy” that the former municipal officials have had with the group who “have remained in a building that doesn’t meet the conditions needed for them to carry out the important service they provide”.

Protección Civil, José Manuel Borrego, ha destacado el salto de calidad que se va a producir en el desempeño de la labor de este colectivo, una vez que se trasladen a este recinto. “Supone pasar a unas instalaciones modernas y de futuro, que nada tienen que ver con las actuales, donde las condiciones de seguridad no son las adecuadas”, ha manifestado Borrego.

Dar un perro un buen hogar La sobrepoblación en las perreras está volviéndose muy seria a una velocidad alarmante. Ya tenemos más de doscientos perros, muchos más de los que podemos cuidar y atender como ellos se merecen.

La Junta decidió hace unos pocos meses ofrecer a buenos hogares algunos de nuestros perros más antiguos de manera gratuita. Estos perros son tranquilos y cariñosos y serían excelentes mascotas para gente mayor o familias con niños pequeños.

Si usted no puede adoptar alguno, por favor dígale a sus amigos y a sus vecinos acerca de estos encantadores seres que se merecen un buen hogar y cuya adopción proporcionaría más espacio en nuestras perreras para nuestros perros más jóvenes.

Estepona based language school Unicentro and translation company TTT Estepona have been running an intercultural Exchange programme at the Ophira Restaurant in Estepona since March 2010.

The initiative has been so successful that a second venue was recently introduced at Jazz pub in the port.

These informal meetings last for an hour, 30 minutes in English and thirty in Spanish and give students a chance to practice their conversational skills. They play an important part in helping the two communities learn about each others cultures, the Spanish participants (natives in the area) and have become quite experts in informing their English speaking counterparts on local places and topics of interest.

Groups are generally made up of four people, two Spanish and two English, Mila Posado Ruiz owner of Unicentro told the Resident “ We recomend an intermediate

or higher level of English or Spanish for these meetings to work, we have guides on hand to suggest topics such as current issues, culture, traditions and customs”.

This is a very relaxed and enjoyable way of practicing language skills obtained in the class room and participants are encouraged to use the past tense, present and future but most don’t need encouraging and spend the whole hour talking and making new friends.

“These meetings are becoming very popular but we can accommodate many more at either event”. Intercambio sessions are held at Ophira restaurant on Mondays at 6.30pm (we take a break during the month of August and restart again the first Monday in September), you can still go to Jazz Pub in the Port from 8pm to 9pm on Wednesdays (from September, 7pm to 8pm).

Veterinarios y médicos unidos contra la leishmaniosis

Veterinarians and Physicians Unite Against Leishmaniasis

Veterinarios y médicos expertos en leishmaniosis han compartido conocimientos y experiencias con el objetivo de ofrecer una visión integrada de la leishmaniosis, una enfermedad parasitaria poco conocida por la población aunque afecta a dos millones de personas y más perros en todo el mundo.

El I Simposio Internacional sobre Leishmaniosis, organizado por Intervet Schering Plough, se ha celebrado los días 18 y 19 de junio en Madrid. Ha reunido a 300 expertos en medicina humana y veterinaria en un frente común en la lucha contra esta enfermedad. En la rueda de prensa previa al simposio participaron, además de Fariñas, Rogelio López-Vélez, doctor en Medicina y especialista en Medicina Interna, y la doctora Guadalupe Miró, catedrática de Parasitología y actual presidenta del grupo europeo de expertos en leishmaniosis canina. Los tres coincidieron en aportar estrategias comunes y ofrecer un fluido intercambio entre especialistas de los dos ámbitos, “porque en realidad es una medicina única”, indicó Miró.

López-Vélez explicó que la leishmaniosis afecta a dos millones de personas en todo el mundo, de las que 1,5 millones se infectan por vía cutánea y el resto por vía visceral.

El número de fallecimientos producidos por la infección ronda los 50.000 anuales.

En España “es difícil precisar las cifras exactas, porque desde 1996 ya no es una enfermedad de declaración obligatoria y el control corresponde a las autonomías”, subrayó. No obstante, se calcula que la tasa de mortalidad humana por la leishmaniosis es del 3%, lo que significa 37 muertes al año.

Se cree que se trata de una antigua enfermedad, más de 2,000 años de antigüedad, es descrito en la Biblia como botón de Alepo, ahora se encuentra en toda la zona mediterránea, así como en otras partes del mundo. Es endémica en perros, como son el huésped natural al parásito y el hecho de que no desarrollan inmunidad, mientras que las personas lo hacen, puede, en parte, sirve como una explicación a por qué la gente puede ser curada mientras los regímenes de tratamiento para perros se consideran sólo paliativos.

Veterinarians and physicians, experts in Leishmaniasis, have shared their knowledge and experiences in the aim of providing an integrated vision of this parasitic disease that is not understood by the general population, although it affects nearly two million people as well as innumerable dogs worldwide.

The 1st International Symposium on Leishmaniasis, sponsored and organized

by Intervet Schering Plough, was held on 18th and 19th of June in Madrid. It brought together some 300 experts in human and veterinary medicine in the goal of forming a common front in the fight against this disease. Prior to the symposium in a joint press conference offered by: Dr. Fariñas, Dr. Rogelio López-Vélez, a medical doctor and specialist in internal medicine, as well as Dr. Guadalupe Miro, Professor of Parasitology and current President of the European Group of experts in canine leishmaniasis. The three agreed to common strategies and provide a fluent exchange among specialists in both areas, “because the fight against this disease calls for a unique form of medicine”, noted Miró.

López-Vélez explained that leishmaniasis affects two million people worldwide, of which 1.5 million are infected by the skin form of lesions and the rest by visceral (internal organs) lesions route. The number of human deaths caused by the infection is around 50,000 per year. In Spain, “it is difficult to determine the exact figures because since 1996 it is not a notifiable disease and its control depends upon the autonomous regions,” he stressed.

However, it is estimated that the human leishmaniasis mortality rate is 3%, which translates into about 37 deaths per year.

It is believed that this is an ancient disease, over 2,000 years old, it is described in the Bible as Aleppo’s´ Button, now found throughout the entire Mediterranean Area as well as in other parts of the world. It is endemic in dogs as they are the natural host to the parasite and the fact that they do not develop immunity while people do, may, in part, serve as an explanation as to why people may be cured while the treatment regimens for dogs are considered only to be palliative .

Guadalupe Miró destacó que se desconoce mucho sobre esta enfermedad zoonótica, que puede afectar de forma leve a muy grave a los perros “sin que conozcamos aún bien las razones”. En España, el sur del país es el más proclive a la leishmaniosis (de 8 a 30%), mientras que “la tasa es mucho más baja en la cornisa cantábrica”.

Fernando Fariñas consideró que la gran esperanza para combatir esta enfermedad “es el advenimiento de una o más vacunas, aunque éstas no lo van a poder hacer todo: hace falta control integrado y el uso de medios ya existentes. Hay que recordar que existen vacunas contra otras enfermedades, como la malaria, con una tasa de éxito del 50%”.

Los perros de la zona Sur de España, como Andalucía y Extremadura, de la zona centro como Madrid, y los que habitan en islas Baleares, padecen más leishmaniosis, y por tanto, el peligro para los humanos es mayor. En Baleares, por ejemplo, la prevalencia es del 30%, frente a una tasa de afectación del 4% en la cornisa cantábrica.

Los expertos recomiendan tomar máximas medidas preventivas para tratar y evitar el contagio. “La leishmaniosis está en clara expansión”, según la doctora Montserrat Gallego una de las ponentes del congreso.

El Simposio Internacional sobre Leishmaniosis ha concluido con una importante advertencia para los propietarios de animales de compañía: “Si viaja con su perro este verano, no olvide que la leishmaniosis es una realidad que afecta tanto a personas como animales, y que existen zonas geográficas en las que la incidencia de esta enfermedad es mayor.”

Si desea más información sobre esta enfermedad su veterinario podrá informarle. Muy pronto habrá un nuevo medio de protección para sus mascotas en forma de un protocolo de vacunación.

Esto aún no está disponible en España, pero debería ser en los próximos meses ya que desde el pasado abril fue aprobado por la Comisión Europea para uso aquí tras su uso en América del Sur. Ronald Rosenfeld D.V.M. Sabinillas Tlf.: 952 891 387

Guadalupe Miró stressed that a lot is unknown about this zoonotic disease, which can affect dogs with a mild form to very serious one and “that we do not even understand the reasons why very well”.

In Spain, the south of the country is the region most prone to leishmaniasis (from 8 to 30%or even much higher), while “the rate is much lower in the Cantabrian region”.

Fernando Fariñas considered the great hope to combat this disease “is the advent of one or more vaccines, although they are not going to do everything: we need integrated control and the use of existing media.” We must remember that there are vaccines against other diseases such as malaria, with a success rate of 50% “.

The dogs in the areas of Southern Spain, such as Andalusia and Extremadura, in the area such as Madrid, and living in the Balearic Islands, suffer more leishmaniasis, and the danger to humans is therefore greater. In the Balearic Islands, for example, the prevalence is 30%, compared to a rate of 4 per cent in the Cantabrian area. .Experts recommend taking maximum preventive measures to treat and prevent infection. “Leishmaniasis is a disease which is clearly on the increase”, according to Doctor Montserrat Gallego, one of the speakers at the Symposium.

The International Symposium on leishmaniasis has concluded with an important warning for owners of pets: “If you travel with your dog, don’t forget that the leishmaniasis is a reality that affects both people and animals, and that there are geographical areas in which the incidence of this disease is greater”.

If you wish more information regarding this disease your veterinarian should be able to inform you. Very soon there will be a new means of protection for your pets in the form of a vaccination protocol. This is not yet available in Spain but should be in the coming months as it has only recently, as of last April, been approved by the European Commission for use here following its use in South America.

Endesa obliga al ayuntamiento a abonar una deuda histórica

El ayuntamiento gestiona la obtención de 480.000 € para proveedores El equipo de gobierno del Ayuntamiento de Manilva está gestionando la obtención de alrededor de 480.000 € para el pago a proveedores a través de una línea de créditos ICO. Así, los miembros del equipo de gobierno han aprobado en la Junta de Gobierno celebrada ayer jueves el reglamento municipal por el que se regulan las facturas de proveedores que podrán acogerse a la línea de crédito de los fondos ICO. La alcaldesa, Antonia Muñoz, ha explicado que podrán acogerse a esta iniciativa las facturas de cantidades comprendidas entre los 900 € como mínimo y 20.000 € como máximo, ya que lo que se pretende es que se beneficie el mayor número de empresas posibles.

El Ayuntamiento de Manilva ha abonado a Endesa el pasado 5 de agosto la cantidad de 52.117,02 €. Este pago correspondía a unos 30.000 € de consumo correspondiente a abril de 2011, más 22.000 € en concepto de las mensualidades de abril, mayo y junio de 2011 correspondientes al pago de una deuda histórica de 133.000 €.

El Ayuntamiento de Manilva debe pagar esa deuda histórica en un plazo de un año a razón de más de 11.000 € mensuales.

Las mensualidades que se tienen que abonar superan los 11.000 € Esta deuda histórica, según explica el concejal de Hacienda, Marcos Ruíz, está generada por una veintena de contadores de diversos equipamientos municipales que, en su día, no fueron tramitados correctamente. O bien continuaban como contadores de obra, o fueron enganchados directamente a la red general.

Una inspección de Endesa detectó el problema y a partir de ahí, comenzaron las negociaciones que acabaron con un

contrato entre la alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz y responsables de Endesa, por el que se obliga al Ayuntamiento a abonar la deuda en 12 mensualidades de más de 11.000 € cada una de ellas.

El primer pago debió realizarse en abril de 2011, pero la precaria situación de las arcas municipales imposibilitó el pago.

Igualmente ocurrió en mayo y en junio.

Ahora llegaba la feria y el Ayuntamiento de Manilva ha tenido que regularizar los pagos para poder acceder al enganche de luz para el recinto ferial.

La alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, coincide con el concejal de Hacienda en admitir que el Ayuntamiento es una única entidad que debe acarrear con las consecuencias de lo gestionado con anterioridad y con las deudas contraídas, pero pide un plazo de respiro ya que son muchos los pagos que se están afrontando mensualmente tanto a proveedores como de entidades bancarias y otras, la mayoría de ellos provenientes de legislaturas anteriores a 2007.

Endesa requires Town Hall to pay outstanding debts On the 5th August, the Manilva Town Council paid more than 52 thousand euros to the Endesa Electric Company.

Thirty thousand euros corresponded to the normal electricity use for April 2011 and more than 22 thousand euros in respect of the bills for April, May and June 2011 towards the repayment of a longstanding debt of 133 thousand euros.

The town council must repay this longstanding debt, within one year, with payments of 11 thousand euros per month.

This debt, according to the councilor for finance, Marcos Ruiz, has come about because more than 20 electric meters in various municipal buildings in their day, were not processed correctly and continued as working meters and were connected directly to the National Grid.

An inspection, carried out by Endesa, detected the problem and from then on began negotiations, which ended with a contract between the Mayoress, Antonia

Muñoz and representatives of the Endesa Company, to allow the council to repay the debt in 12 monthly payments of 11 thousand euros.

The first payment was due to be paid in April 2011, but the precarious situation of the municipal funding made this impossible to pay, as equally in May and June.

However, the August Fair arrived and the Town Hall had to make these payments so that the lighting could be connected to the Fair Ground.

The Mayoress, Antonia Muñoz, along with the councillor for the economy, admitted that the council is the only entity that pay off this debt, which was incurred by a previous administration, but at the same time, requested time in which to make the repayments, as the council has to deal with many monthly payments to providers and banks, the majority of which were incurred before the present administration initially took office in 2007.

Muñoz ha explicado que, junto al concejal de Hacienda, Marcos Ruíz, se han mantenido las reuniones pertinentes con responsables provinciales de la entidad bancaria BBVA a través de la que se tramitarán estos fondos.

En la Junta de Gobierno celebrada también se han aprobado diversos gastos y facturas, así como la preparación del expediente preparado por la delegación de Juventud para la recuperación del proyecto Guadalinfo. Este proyecto, que se tramita con la colaboración de la Diputación Provincial de Málaga, permitirá el acceso informático y a Internet a la población en general y a la juvenil en particular.

Town Hall seeks 480 thousand euros to pay suppliers The Manilva town council is negotiating a loan of around 480 thousand euros to pay Council providers through a line of credit from ICO funds, which is the Institute of Official Credit from the Spanish taxation office. At this meeting on 11th August, municipal regulations, regulating vendor invoices eligible for the above funding were approved. The Mayoress, Antonia Muñoz, explained that to be able to benefit from this initiative, the amounts involved must fall between 900 euros minimum and 20 thousand euros maximum, so that as many companies as possible may benefit from this scheme.

The Mayoress added that both she and the Councillor for Finance, Marcos Ruiz have held meetings with the relevant provincial officials of the Bank BBVA, through which this funding will be provided. The committee also approved various expenses and

invoices as well as the dossier prepared by the Youth Department for the re-initiation of the “GUADALINFO” project, which is handled with the collaboration of the provincial deputation of Malaga to provide computer and internet access to the wider poulation.

Regarding this matter, the 26th of this month is the deadline for presenting applications for the job as promoter in the Guadalinfo centre. According to the councillor for Employment Development, Marcos Ruiz, along with the application form, interested parties must provide a certified copy of their training qualifications and other documentation that is required as part of the application process. The minimum requirement is that the applicants have passed their studies in FP Dos. More information can be obtained from the town council work page www.manilva.es

Limpieza solicita no aparcar junto a los contenedores de basura La delegación de Limpieza del Ayuntamiento de Manilva ha hecho un llamamiento a la población en general, a fin de que los vecinos y turistas que pasan sus vacaciones en la localidad, no dejen aparcados sus vehículos en las inmediaciones de los contenedores, ya que esto impide que los camiones de recogida puedan realizar su trabajo.

Los operarios de limpieza han visto como a lo largo de las últimas semanas, se ve dificultada su labor a causa de los vehículos que aparcan justo al lado de los contenedores, especialmente de

los soterrados, ya que estos tienen un mecanismo de elevación para realizar la recogida y que muchas veces no pueden accionar debido a los coches mal aparcados, con lo que no pueden proceder a la recogida, amontonándose la basura para otro día.

Esto ha propiciado que haya vecinos que se han quejado por la acumulación de residuos. Es por ello, que el edil Antonio de Haro, responsable de limpieza hace este llamamiento, pidiendo la colaboración de todos los ciudadanos.

Manilva’s cleaning department requests that drivers do not park next to rubbish containers The work of the cleansing department has been hampered in the last few weeks, because of vehicles badly parked around the rubbish container areas especially the underground ones, which have a special mechanism so that they can be raised and the rubbish emptied. On various occasions, this has been impossible because of badly

parked cars, which impede the functioning of these containers, so that the rubbish just accumulates for another day, about which many residents complain. For this reason, the councillor responsible for cleaning, Antonio de Haro, has appealed to everyone not to park their vehicles around these rubbish collection sites.

Rowetta Rowetta Idah, better known in the world of music as just Rowetta is an accomplished R&B/Soul singer who, despite being known by many people as a contestant on the first series of X-Factor, has enjoyed a musical career since the early 80s.

In fact Rowetta entered and won her first talent competition at the age of twelve and became a professional singer after leaving school. In 1987 In 1987, Rowetta released two singles with the Vanilla Sound Corp.

She also lent her voice to Inner City songs.

During this time, she released two songs: “Back Where We Belong” and “Passion”. In 1988 she collaborated with Dynasty of 2 on the single “Stop This Thing”. She worked as a backing singer on numerous albums including Simply Red’s 1991 album ‘Stars’.

Rowetta is the voice on the renowned 1989 track “Reach Out” with Sweet Mercy. The track has been sampled by many, including Laidback Luke, Slam, Steve Angello and Todd Terry, and was remixed and rereleased in 2008, leading to a sample of her voice featuring throughout The Black Eyed Peas hit “Boom Boom Pow”.

In 1990 Rowetta joined the Happy Mondays. She featured on their single “Step On” which charted at number 5. This was followed by two albums, Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches and Yes Please!, and three world tours. The group split and reformed a few times, but finally called it a day in 2000.

After the breakup of The Happy Mondays, she did not return to the music business immediately, although she did play herself

in the Michael Winterbottom film 24 Hour Party People, which focused on the band’s years of pop glory.

Her soulful, powerful voice proved to be a hit with audiences, and her performances on the show earned her rave review.

Rowetta made the final four, being the last woman in the competition, and never had to compete in a sing-off.

In 2005, Rowetta released an album on Gut Records. In November 2005 and 2006, She appeared on the BBC’s Children in Need appeal, singing live with the BBC Orchestra in 2005, and on Celebrity Scissorhands in 2006.

In 2006, Rowetta had a cameo as herself in Footballer’s Wives:Extra Time. A year later, she made her musical theatre debut at The Palace Theatre, Manchester in The Best Of Broadway, alongside Suranne Jones, and appeared at the IndigO2 with Marti Webb, Stephen Gately and Maria Freidman in Christmas on Broadway. Rowetta also spent August 2007 presenting the show The Terry & Ro Show on Gaydio with Terry Longden, and also became the voice behind the jingles on community station Salford City Radio. In addition, she toured Japan, where she has a huge fanbase.

She also appeared on a Reality TV Special of The Weakest Link where she was voted off by the audience in the seventh round.

According to a 2008 BBC 6 Music interview with Peter Hook, Rowetta recorded vocals for a track on the debut album by his new band Freebass. A new version of “Reach Out” featuring Rowetta and mixed by Mobin Master spent Christmas 2008 and the first part of 2009 at number 1 in the Beatport Charts.

21

Rowetta also presents her own radio show on Saturdays at 4 pm on Gaydio 88.4FM. She starred in a nationwide tour of The Songs Of Sister Act with Sheila Ferguson.

A new version of “Reach Out” featuring Rowetta and mixed by Mobin Master spent Christmas 2008 and the first part of 2009 at number 1 in the Beatport Charts.

Rowetta toured the UK with the London Community Gospel Choir in a new version of The Songs Of Sister Act. In 2009, The Black Eyed Peas sampled Rowetta on their global hit, Boom Boom Pow 2010 Rowetta is appearing with Joy Division/ New Order bassist, Peter Hook & his band, The Light on many dates of his Unknown Pleasures tour and has collaborated with Tom Stephan (Superchumbo) and J Nitti on new dance tracks. In 2010, Rowetta appeared in the Pop Goes the 80’s UK theatre tour.

Rowetta is currently recording with Peter Hook and The Light and Mirror People.

El sol fundamental El viento baja hasta el río, en tórtola vuela a las aguas.

Mira cómo se mece entre ondas esa balsa.

Río que atravesaremos juntos, iremos a nuestra casa: de adobe es nuestra morada con raíces del amor que siempre todo lo aguantan.

El viento baja hasta el río, en tórtola vuela a las aguas. ¿Quién tiene miedo?

Mira cómo nos espera meciéndose entre ondas esa balsa.

El amor que no navega no encuentra nunca su alma.

11 de Mayo de 2007 Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “La campiña templada” (2007-2008)

Trigo y Silbido Trigo y silbido, ojo en la espiga. ¿Cómo es el mundo? Árbol, brazos del beso, vuelan las hojas, caen a tu cuerpo, cubren tu vida.

Trigo y silbido, pasa una madre, pasa una niña; ay, que la noche sale del aire, vuela que vuela, baja al trigal, luna perdida que la recogen dos golondrinas.

Trigo y silbido, suenan que suenan, grillos audaces velan la tierra.

Trigo y silbido, pasa una madre, pasa una niña.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “La campiña templada” (2007-2008)

na fuente donde aterriza la primavera. El corazón, sediento de umbrales. El hombre desempleado quiere rociarse en el pueblo, quiere ser parte de él y su progreso. El hombre en paro busca un lugar donde trabajar... Y las frases ante sus hijos: “El trabajo está muy mal”.

“Como la cosa siga así”. “En edad de trabajar y con responsabilidad familiar un hombre no puede...; pero todo eso no justifica nada”. “No más dinero por desempleo” (¡vivir del paro!, ¡de caridad!). Pero es un derecho adquirido –dicen–, un dinero recaudado por el INEM. (Inversión. Producción, consumo, la teoría elemental en la economía de desarrollo.)

Hombre del paro. Hombre en el paro, que quiere regresar hoy a casa sin el oscuro lamento, sin la presión psicológica de los últimos meses. “Pero..., ¡a ver si de esta última entrevista sale algo positivo, a ver..., a ver si hay suerte, ...yo creo que sí!” El sí que se enardece, el sí del pueblo, un sí de lírica social, un sí de esperanza, que es ya real...

Y un amigo: “...Da gracias a Dios. El mundo, el mundo, mira cómo está, que si el hambre, que si las guerras..., es una pena que el hombre no haya aprendido a organizarse.” (“A organizarse o a quererse”, piensa el hombre parado.)

Y otro amigo: “…Pero eso no es excusa, el hambre provocada por la sinrazón, el desequilibrio, el egoísmo…. Todo el mundo tiene derecho a un trabajo digno, a un salario justo, a... Ten en cuenta que el trabajo, como casi todo en esta vida, está mal repartido. Además, hoy, como antes, en muchos aspectos seguimos igual: El empresario, busca dinero para su casa; el comerciante, busca dinero para su casa; el político, pues igual; el obrero, tira de donde puede, ¿crees que con lo que le dan hoy a un padre de familia en el paro, no va a realizar pequeños trabajos: que es perjudicial, ya..., y cómo comer con esa miseria, lo que llaman chapuzas, sí, no deberían hacerlas, pero peores cosas se ven”.

Y otro: “Hay que saber mucho porque con la oferta y la demanda hemos topado. ...Este mundo del trabajo no está

Tres Luceritos Abueli tiene tres luceritos, tres luceritos que brillan junto a la luna llena; uno, se llama Irene, otro se llama Natalie yuno que vino de Oriente y que se llama Andrea.

ahora para bromas. Se opina que..., se cree que..., se determina que por fin las estadísticas se han bloqueado en la cota más baja de paro, pero sigue creciendo.

Nos queda la confianza, supongo. Hay tanto que aprender”.

Otro amigo: “Una vez tuve que decirle a uno: “¡Si aquí muchos estamos pasando miserias, casi como en el tercer mundo (idiotez de enumerar a la raza humana), si no fuera porque a muchas familias les ayudan amigos y familiares, con la limosna recibida, limosna ¡cómo se iba a comer!, y no sólo comer, pagar la luz, el gas, vestir, etc!”.

Hoy, el hombre contratado por fin, ha tenido suerte, siente el beso de las huellas obreras, al pasar camino de la empresa, siente las huellas del padre onírico solidario con los que buscan y se rocían en los umbrales del pueblo, una manera de ganarse el pan; pero hay una vida socialmente programada sujeta en las aguas, y en sus fuentes, la primavera aterriza, porque lo que hoy a algunos les ha tocado vivir con el peso del requiebro, mañana otros lo experimentarán (a todos nos toca alguna vez las experiencias del hambre, o del pan o del amor). Y se intentan normas más estables, donde el turbio chorro de humo impregna las ideas, las palabras, ¿o es a un ser?, ¿o es a un pueblo?, donde nadie es más que nadie pero todos quieren ser más.

Y un hombre sencillo, ¡un hombre ayer parado!, ahora ya por fin tiene un nuevo empleo, recobra las fuerzas, la alegría, los proyectos de futuro para su bienestar y el de su familia. Y coincide con un amigo al que nunca le faltó el trabajo, y cae en la cuenta de que aquellas palabras de León Felipe: “No hay oficio ni empleo que aquel que enseña al hombre a ser un hombre”, defienden una profesión de hombre que comienza y no acaba, nunca desempleado de lo humano, de hombre no programado, no controlado, no visado, de hombres labradores de las virtudes, que no se despojan unos a otros en quehaceres siniestros.

Hydration After Exercise Weigh yourself before and after exercise and replace fluid losses. Drink 20-40 fl oz of water for every 1lb lost Remember train wiser not longer-Claudia would also recommend eating more water melon and cucumber to keep your body well hydrated.

Check with your GP before starting any new exercise regime. Good luck

Exercise and Hydration

Learn Spanish with Nuria

Common Causes of Dehydration In sports people • Inadequate fluid intake • Excessive sweating • Failure to replace fluid losses during and after exercise • Exercising in dry, hot weather • Drinking only when thirsty How Athletes Lose fluid • Temperature. Exercising in the heat increases you fluid losses through sweating and exercise in the cold can impair you ability to recognize fluid losses and increase fluid lost through respiration. In both cases it is important to hydrate.

• Sweating. Some athletes sweat more than others. If you sweat a lot you are at greater risk for dehydration.

Again, weigh yourself before and after exercise to judge sweat loss.

Exercise Duration and Intensity Exercising for hours (endurance sports) means you need to drink more and more frequently to avoid dehydration The routine measurement of pre- and post-exercise body weights is useful for determining sweat rates and customized fluid replacement programs.

What about Sports Drinks?

Sports drinks can be helpful to athletes who are exercising at a high intensity for 60 minutes or more. If, however, you find yourself exercising in extreme conditions over 3 or 5 hours (a marathon, Ironman or ultramarathon, for example) you may likely want to add a complex sports drink with electrolytes.

It is strongly recomended that you avoid the heat of the day for exercise outside, working with fresh air is much healthier than air-conditioniong; a body working in the hot humid tempretures here in spain can be expending up to 30% more energy than those working out in cooler climates.

A new study is rocking the nutrition world and begging the question: is healthy eating all in the mind? Study participants were either given a 620 calorie ‘indulgent’ milkshake or a 140 calorie ‘sensible’ shake. Before drinking the shakes they had to read a detailed description of each so they would know exactly what they were about to drink.

The scientists measured levels of ghrelin – a hormone released when we are hungry. As expected, those who drank the ‘indulgent’ shake had lower ghrelin levels after drinking than the ‘sensible’ shake. Here’s the catch: both groups were actually drinking the same drink of 380 calories. It turns out that people’s hunger was satisfied psychologically not by what they were drinking, but by what they thought they were drinking.

When I read this study it made me think of The Volumetrics Eating Plan by Dr Barbara Rolls in the States. Her approach is based on the premise that we ‘eyeball’ our food and decide in advance if it will fill us up or not. Rolls has found that if you make a quarter-pound hamburger look the same size as a half-pound burger by adding lots of garnishes and not squishing it down, the average person who normally eats a half-pounder will feel full at the end of meal. The food industry cottoned onto this a long time ago and many of our foods are pumped with air and water.

If we can begin to approach even the healthiest foods with a mindset of indulgence while creating more ‘volume’ with extra vegetables and garnishes we can enjoy feeling full without piling on the calories.

Information

The Resident - www.theresident.es

Costa Advice Bureau Do you question your banks actions?

A Spanish bank has recently drawn up a rental contract for my client. She has only recently arrived in Spain and the contract is in Spanish with no translation. The rental contract does not comply with the law and the bank appears to be totally unaware of the rights that this agreement allows the occupant. Except for a couple of clauses this contract is beneficial for the tenant and surprisingly, is in fact prejudicial against the bank. The rental property in question was already inhabited and embargoed by the bank with the intention to sell or auction the same. Are they aware that by drawing up the contract for a year, they have in fact by law allowed the tenant the right of habitation for a total or five years? One of the unacceptable clauses now corrected at my insistence, was that the tenant would pay a month’s rent as a deposit to be returned on vacating the property. Totally acceptable if the guarantee had not already been paid. This article has now been corrected to cover this important point. It is imperative that even if you have sufficient knowledge of the language, you should always have contracts either translated and the interpreted version signed and attached or seeks expert advice.

Bank statements Always study your bank statements with caution. This is imperative where you have various loans which may include a mortgage and credit or debit cards. The banks here may organise your funds without prior notice. You may have given instructions that the mortgage has preference but they will often give preference to clearing the debts on your cards. The reasoning here is very simple. The mortgage has the property as a guarantee against any default on the monthly payments. Whatever your instructions to your branch forward these in writing and ask for a written response of confirmation of your wishes.

Bank to consider honeymoon period for mortgage holders One of the top banks has announced a honeymoon period for their borrowers who are having problems meeting their mortgage payments. If you are interested, make sure you have all the details. Make yourself aware of the implications and do not wait to complain about the agreements you may sign today in the future. The significance of the offer may be more beneficial to the bank than to you three years from now.

One of the most important consumer societies in Spain has declared that it suspects that this may a form of advertising as the announcement will attract a lot of attention from the consumer.

Obtaining your unemployment benefit in Spain without difficulty It was with foresight from past experiences that I gave my client instructions for claiming his unemployment in Spain after being made redundant in Gibraltar. So as advised and armed with his mobile and my contact details arrived at his first port of call, a well known government department.

Shortly after his arrival I received his first phone call. He passed his phone to the civil servant who had told him he was in the wrong offices. After explaining the procedure via his mobile, she agreed with me and sent him upstairs. He called again.

The civil servant behind the desk also did quite understand what he wanted. I spoke with her and it appeared all was going well.

Third call was to advise me that he had left with the relevant documentation and not empty handed to have to return.

Are you driving legally on Spanish Roads?

This topic has been an issue for numerous people who have either visited my office or have contacted me via this newspaper, email, facebook and all other forms of other social media.

Only recently I was contacted by a non resident who was fined five hundred euro for not being in possession of a Spanish driving licence. The law in Spain allows you to drive on your European licence. This rule relates to resident and nonresident alike. One would expect that the forces, whose responsibility it is to enforce the laws on our roads would be aware of the law. This appears to not be the case. If you are stopped, remember, as a resident you cannot be fined on the spot. Any person fined for this reason should either contact us with the penalty document or a receipt if they have already made the payment.

Give a dog a good home ADANA, the Estepona based dog rehoming charity is, like other rehoming centres along the coast, experiencing a huge increase in the number of abandoned dogs arriving at its kennels in Parque de Pedregales, so much so that overcrowding at the kennels is fast becoming very serious. There are now over two hundred dogs in the shelter, far more than can easily be given the full care and attention they deserve.

The ADANA Board decided a few months ago to offer to good homes free of charge a

number of our older dogs. These dogs are calm and gentle and would make excellent pets for older people or families with young children.

These lovely old boys and girls deserve a good home and their adoption would free up space in the kennels for our many other dogs and puppies.

Anyone interested in offering a dog a home or in helping ADANA in any way should contact the kennel Manager Eddie Taylor on 952113467 from 10.30 to 13.30.

In recent weeks we have heard a lot of talk about the state of the global economy a lot of attention was focused on the date 2nd August 2011. Why I hear you ask, our American colleagues had to come up with a plan to avoid a federal debt default.

Fortunately the US House of Representatives passed a vote of 269 to 161 which some critics may say was a lastgasp deal to avoid this default. It raised the debt limit by up to $2.4tn (£1.5tn) from $14.3tn, and makes savings of at least $2.1tn in 10 years.

But of late the decision has been questioned as to the whether the limit should have been raised by $4tn thus allowing longer term stability for our American colleagues and possibly avoiding the recent downgrading of their credit rating from their much valued AAA status. This downgrade could have a longer lasting effect on Bond Yields for the US. Good news though coming from the UK as the construction industry grew a faster-thanexpected by 2.3% in the second quarter of the year compared with the previous three months. This new data which came from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) marks a rebound from a slump seen by the industry over the previous six months.

However all is not well as we hear with recent comments from George Osborne warning that excessive global debt meant “the recovery will take longer and be harder than hoped” Could this be why people are holding onto their hard earned cash and saving it for a rainy day.

Mr Osborne seems to be defending the government’s austerity plan in the Commons, saying it had made the UK a “safe haven” in the volatile financial markets.

In Switzerland, according to the TagesAnzeiger daily, the authorities are flirting with the idea of pegging their currency to the euro. The franc had strengthened by nearly a third since the beginning of the year and this having a negative impact on exports. During this time investors used the story as an excuse to take some profits on their long-franc positions, which took the currency three cents lower against the US dollar, four cents down against the euro and knocking five cents off its sterling value.

The euro zone has also seen its fair share of problems and possible threats.

Could there be another rescue package on the cards for Greece we will have to wait and see. Add this to the problems in Portugal, Italy and possibly Spain alongside the threat of a downgrade for France, you start to get the picture that all is not well within the global economy.

In the last couple of weeks we have seen the Pound to Euro exchange rate fluctuating between 1.13 to 1.1450. The last low of 1.11 was at the beginning of July 2011 when the euro was at its strongest.

So knowing how volatile exchange rates can be it is always worth getting the right guidance on the currency market. If you want to learn more about how you can save money on your currency transfer: contact our preferred currency exchange partner Moneycorp as their local experts are always happy to speak to you.
