Ex-husband faces death charges A MAN has been charged with the death of his ex-wife five years after she was found dead in a swimming pool. Her body was discovered at her home in Alhaurin de la Torre in April 2008. Her ex-husband appeared in court recently to be questioned after police presented new reports which suggest that he was involved in her death. He once again claimed that

when she died he was in Cadiz at a friend’s house, and provided evidence of this including restaurant, toll road and petrol station receipts. He was caught on camera at the petrol stations where he stopped. A post-mortem examination showed that the woman, 49, had been hit on the head, had a cut to her neck, and that she drowned in a pool with just a metre of water.

As well as manslaughter, the man is charged with habitual abuse and has a record for threatening behaviour. In April 2009, two hooded men with guns were shot dead by the accused on the property where his wife was found. At the time, he claimed that he had shot the intruders in selfdefence and the case was shelved.

Several businessmen have also been sentenced, while Tomas Olivo, Manuel Lores, Francisco Arteche and the owner of the Holiday World complex in Benalmadena, Cristobal Peñarroya, were acquitted. Former councillor Javier Lendinez, who had been on the run since 2008 and was charged in the Malaya case, has been remanded in prison. He was arrested at Madrid-Barajas Airport when returning from Thailand. Two more of the accused are still on the run.

Meanwhile, Marbella City Hall has still not received the compensation agreed a year ago which Roca would provide for the Saqueo I case. This included €600,000 and eight properties worth €30 million. The compensation had been agreed by the court handling the Malaya case.

Pensioners lodge criminal claim against bank A CRIMINAL complaint has been filed in San Roque Court against Landsbanki Luxembourg, which has gone into liquidation, and its Spanish agents.

In addition those affected are living under the constant threat of having to pay back monies which were never received

or face possible eviction from their homes. The court in San Roque has decided that their situation needs to be investigated in order to elevate the victims’ claim to the next level. Consequently, the judge assigned to the case has summoned over 60 victims who signed the original contract within the San Roque jurisdiction to attend pre-trial hearings. After five years, the expatriates in Spain have some hope that those responsible for perpetrating this alleged scam will now have to account for their actions.

Project appeal rejected THE National Court has rejected an appeal against government plans to reform the Baños del Carmen area in Malaga. A group of residents in the area was against the plan to restore and reform the area, a plan which has been changed by the company which will carry out the work and which is being backed by the city hall at the Environmental Ministry. The National Court has rejected the residents’ demand for an Environmental Impact Study because the aim of the project is to restore the beach and repair its abandoned state. The company managing the Baños del Carmen has also appealed against the government plan and wishes to maintain its status as management in order to carry out the newly planned private project. The latter is valued at more than €14 million and includes the restoration of the beach and a large park in exchange for permits to build an underground car park and a four-star hotel.

Torremolinos hotelier detained THE manager of a hotel complex in Torremolinos was arrested by Guardia Civil as part of the investigation in fraudulent redundancy payments in Andalucia. The case revolves around the Junta de Andalucia paying out millions of euros to friends and relatives. It is being investigated by judge Mercedes Alaya in Sevilla. The arrest of Angel Quesada took place during a search of the Don Pedro Hotel. Quesada is also the vice-president of the Costa del Sol Hoteliers Association in

He was abseiling from a height of 20 metres with a group of people near the famous bridge over the ‘Tajo’ (gorge) and fell for reasons which are not yet known. He was no stranger to extreme sports and had been given the abseiling experience with a local ‘active tourism’ company for his birthday by his sister. The other members of the group did not know he had fallen until they heard him hit the ground. He was alive at the time and taken to dry land by other members of the team who performed CPR. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the accident,

The equipment used by the company was in excellent condition and they have all the correct documents and insurance. Ten firemen and two helicopters took part in the rescue operation. Firemen performed CPR for 20 minutes while they waited for the Guardia Civil Mountain Rescue Team, but they were unable to save him.

Discrimination is investigating the treatment towards three transsexual minors in Malaga schools. The parents of the children, aged between six and nine, have demanded that they be referred to in class by the gender with which they identify, be allowed to wear the uniform or clothes which they prefer according to their sexual identity, and be able to choose which toilets they use. Each of the children goes to a different school. The Department of Education has also sent guidelines to be implemented in schools, regarding class lists, report cards, student cards and other documents so that they refer to the children with the gender with which they feels identified. It also requires teachers to refer to the children by the name agreed by their families, and that when there are group activities, the children should be placed with the gender with which they identify and be able to dress in boys’ or girls’ uniforms, as they feel more comfortable.

Prison move for killers THE murderer of Marta del Castillo, Miguel Carcaño, will be moved to a different prison, as will Jose Breton, sentenced for killing his two children. The Interior Minister, Jorge Fernandez Diaz, said that this is so they

are treated in a way more fitting to their profiles. Carcaño, the minister said, is an egocentric character who will get better penitentiary treatment in prison in La Mancha. Jose Breton, who has appealed

against the sentence against him, has the personality of a psychopath and will be better suited to Villena prison in Alicante. In both cases, the minister pointed out, they are too close to the media interest in the prisons where they were serving time, and they must be moved because both like to be the centre of attention. Breton has been punished by the penitentiary institution to three months without receiving parcels, as his family was found taking

him money hidden in their clothes. He recently told a national Spanish daily in a letter that he had been sentenced because he “has the face of an evil, cold and calculating psychopath,” which he claims is “nothing like” him. He claims that he did not kill his children and says that he is going to find them. He accuses the investigative team of hiding the truth because “many people don’t want Ruth and Jose (his children) to appear because their careers and lives would be over.”

THE technology and equipment used for ultrasounds and mammograms is costly stuff. But Clinica Radiology gives Positively Pink a great rate to allow them to be able to help as many women as possible. The ultrasound technology is fascinating. Doctors can use the probe to examine breast tissue from the armpit region to the breast-plate. And the sonographic images produced on the screen reflect the structure of the tissue in the breast. The mammogram is a very different piece of machinery. The doctor helps position a patient’s body so that their breast lies properly on the machine’s bottom shelf and then lowers the top shelf, so that the breast is compressed. The doctor will then take the x-ray and release the shelf and repeat the process. Having both of these exams can be a little uncomfortable but the staff are quick, warm and friendly so it’s over before the patient knows it.

Positively Blue - With men in mind THE charity also launched Positively Blue last year to combat prostate cancer in men. This involves going for a routine PSA blood test and some questions regarding medical and family background. Unfortunately, there are no appointments left for this year, but Positively Blue will continue next year and the charity advises anyone with a serious concern to immediately consult their GP.

The other 19 people accused have been acquitted. They won gold at the Olympic Games, but the scam was uncovered by a journalist who infiltrated the team and saw how the players were told to pretend to be disabled.

Economic crisis forces more Spaniards to move abroad MORE than 700,000 Spaniards have emigrated since 2008 due to the financial crisis. While official sources claim that 225,000 Spaniards have emigrated since 2008, the Alternativas Foundation estimates that the figure is closer to 700,000. The foundation has carried out a study by cross-referencing official

It says that the sources from which the figures are obtained, the census reports carried out by the Spanish consulates, are incorrect and outdated. This, they point out, is mainly because

Responsibility claimed for church bomb A GROUP which planted a bomb in the Basilica del Pilar in Zaragoza claimed to have done so because the Church is an institution which historically links State and capital. The ‘Comando Insurreccional Mateo Morral,’ named after the anarchist who perpetrated an attack against King Alfonso 13th in 1906, planted a bomb made with a butane gas bottle with two kilos of gunpowder and an activation system on a timer. It caused some damage within the church. They say they had no intention of injuring anyone, which was why they gave a bomb warning 10 minutes

before it was due to go off. They justify their actions saying that the Church is an “important institution with an historic complicity with the State and capital”. They say that the Basilica del Pilar is a meaningful church for those who “illegally hold power” as it was visited by Franco and Pope John Paul II. They describe it as “one of the main symbols and meeting points of fascism” as the Virgen del Pilar is the patron saint of Spain and the Guardia Civil, and that inside, there are ‘trophies’ which exalt the genocidal acts of Spain in the Americas.

registering with the consulate is not obligatory for anyone who has moved abroad, and there are no benefits to doing so and it is costly. In the UK alone, the host country’s sources say there are 112,980 Spaniards living there, while Spain has just

20,998 registered. They have proposed that the government carries out surveys amongst those who have moved abroad to determine whether circumstances forced them to do so or whether it is because of the ‘adventurous spirit’ which the government claims

Spanish youths have. The study also shows that since 2011, more people have left Spain than arrived here, and that most of the emigrants are men aged between 35 and 54. The main destinations are the UK, the USA, France, Germany, Argentina and Ecuador.

Prices rising for used cars Ups and downs of Spanish trade

A very unusual send-off FIREWORKS, common at Spanish weddings and christenings, are now present at funerals. Online funeral services company www.maslapidas.com is working with Europla, a Valencia-based fireworks manufacturer, to give loved ones’ ashes a spectacular send off. The specialist firm will fill a rocket with gunpowder and the deceased’s cremated ashes, “an original way of bidding them

farewell,” the company maintains. It emphasises “the great acceptation in Mediterranean regions, where fireworks assume immense importance.” Setting off the rocket with a loved ones’ ashes inside is a legal alternative that complies with all aspects of the law, Maslapidas.com assures. All the necessary formalities are carried out before an expert helps mourners to send the rocket skywards.

Prado Museum sustaining losses THE Prado Museum in Madrid sustained losses of €1.09 million in 2012. According to the accounts published in the Official State Gazette, income has fallen mainly because the State is paying 25.4 per cent less to the Museum and sponsorships have fallen by 26.67 per cent. Meanwhile, expenses have only fallen by 0.14 per cent. Debtors’ accounts rose by 10.84 per cent, meaning it has had to use money from the treasury. Current liabilities have fallen by 16.65 per cent because at the end of 2011, the last payments on shares of the capital stock of the National Prado Museum were pending, as were bills from building repairs that year. The Museum has €38.4 million in its accounts for this year, but the General State Budget has increased the amount it will provide for the Museum by 1.7 per cent for 2014. The aim is to increase the accounts to €41.1 million by 2016. At the end of December 2012, the Prado had 528 employees. This year, the Museum is expecting the number of visitors to fall by 25 per cent, meaning takings will fall by €2 million.

The chain that chooses choice GUESTS who forget their pyjamas have a solution at some Barcelo hotels. They can buy them from a vending machine. The chain is the fourth most-important in Spain and the 30th in the world.

It offers clients options that include not only vending machines but the choice of aroma that greets them in their room. At the Barcelo Formentos they can pay to enjoy the pleasure of

sleeping where illustrious guests slept before them. At the Barcelo Malaga they can even bypass the stairs and reach the bar via a sixmetre slide. Personal assistants, personal shoppers and personal beauticians are regular features,

while at the Montecastillo welcome packs and dog-walkers await pets. US tour operator MLT Vacations chose this year’s Quality Assurance Awards, with three Barcelo hotels in Mexico amongst the prize-winners.

A matter of money LIVING in Spain, we use euros almost every day, but do we know where they come from? The European Central Bank is the only EU administration which has the authority to issue notes which can then be issued by them or by the national Central Banks, such as the Bank of Spain. Most of the notes issued by the Bank of Spain are made in the National Factory of Currency and Stamps, while the rest is received from other national banks. Coins are issued by each of the different countries in the Eurozone and have one side which is the same throughout, and another which is exclusive to each country. They can all be used throughout the Eurozone and are delivered to the Bank of Spain to be put into circulation.

MINTED: Ever wondered where your money comes from?

What is a public act or private for surveillance? Q. The privacy act in Spain seems to prohibit the use of surveillance cameras by private individuals or even by the authorities in some public areas. Didn’t Malaga City Hall have to relocate some cameras for a breach of privacy? Use of cameras appears to be limited to the police. And what is a private area and what is a public area? Can you comment? R.B. (Mijas)

You and the Law in Spain By David Searl

A. The use of surveillance cameras in Spain is regulated by the LOPD, Ley Organica de Protection de Datos, the

Organic Law of Data Protection, or LOPD, which went into effect in 1999. As originally written, the law was indeed very strict on the use of cameras. It required that consent be obtained from each person filmed, for example. This is simply not practical. Now the law is enforced by the Agencia de Protección de Datos, the APD for short. Their Directive 1/2006 provides that an easily seen notice of the camera’s presence will be sufficient. A private citizen may place surveillance cameras in his garden to ensure his security from theft. A Community of Property Owners may place cameras in the garage, for example. A supermarket usually has cameras watching the merchandise. The distinction between public and private is not important. The law now concentrates on what use is made of the recorded images. When you apply to the APD for a permit, you must identify the person in charge of keeping the images and they cannot be kept for more than a month in most cases.

OPINION & COMMENT

We just want to earn an honest living BAR OWNERS - mainly British who are willing to pay their taxes and licensing fees, are being persecuted by the police in Calahonda (Malaga) and forced to turn off any background music. Also not allowed are TV commentaries for football, golf, tennis or any other sport no matter how quiet it is, even when it cannot be heard outside the establishment. On top of that they are being forced to take down bar signs that are not hanging over the road or footpath, and are no danger to anyone. As for any other entertainment like singers, karaoke and guitarists, forget it! Tourists are constantly asking “where is the entertainment” and have to be told “sorry there is none.” Some Spanish bars seem to be able to do what they please, while the English bars in the same street are forced to close. The Costa del Sol is well known to be the main holiday resort in the world for the British but if something is not done soon, and honest working Brits are not allowed to run their business legally, Spain will find itself in a much deeper recession than it already is. These are family bars that cater for people who just want to have a good time on their long awaited holidays but are being disappointed. R. Bagnall, Calahonda, Mijas, (Malaga)

State help SO this is what Spain has come to. It relies on volunteers and charity to look after its elderly. The news that the Red Cross helped 24,000 senior citizens across Alicante province in just six months (Costa Blanca South, Issue 1474) reflects well on the charity, but poorly on the government. These people should not have to rely on volunteers and charity.

By Tina Mingou, Arboleas (Almeria)

I know traditionally in Spain the elderly are looked after by their families, but when that is not an option the State should step in. That is a humanitarian use for taxpayers’ money. Better than lining crooked politicians’ pockets. Jan Hunt, Orihuela Costa (Alicante)

Good value WITH reference to your editorial on Benidorm bus fares being the most expensive in Spain (Costa Blanca North Issue 1473). The spokesman failed to mention that if people buy a prepaid card the bus fare comes down by about 15 per cent. I am all in favour of the tourist paying more as it means we get a well maintained service all year round with clean buses running at decent intervals. Having said that I would like to see them run for about an hour later at night as they do seem to terminate rather early. As a comparison we do get cheap transport in relation to the UK, for example London charge €1.65 for a single journey on an

Oyster card or €2.65 pay as you ride, Manchester charge from £1.50 to £3.00 (€1.77 to €3.54) depending on length of journey. In conclusion I find Benidorm buses very reasonable. Graham E Johnson, Camping Villamar, Benidorm (Alicante).

Huge turnout I WOULD like to say thank you for the superb article in your newspaper a couple of weeks ago, headed Breakfast with a purpose, (Almeria, Issue 1471) which was so much appreciated. We had a huge turnout; the

Bay Bistro was absolutely full. People’s lives were wonderfully touched by the two testimonies we had, and one lady asked Jesus into her life, what we call ‘born again.’ Another came and said she was so excited at all that she had heard, and took away the book The Happiest People on Earth to read, which was written by the Founder of the FGBMFI, Demos Shakarian. The couple who gave their testimonies, Judy Slater and her husband Gavin, are holding an International Concert in the Convento Victoria in Vera Town, tomorrow (Friday) at 8.30pm and the entrance is free. They will sing in English and Spanish. Eileen Templeman (By email) Editor’s note: The Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International holds regular breakfast meetings in Mojacar, Almeria.

rationalist? If so you are, by definition, a humanist and probably believe that we can lead happy, ethical lives free of religious dogma using reason, experience and shared values. Now a new English-speaking group is being formed to cover the area from Aguilas to Mojacar and inland from Huercal Overa to Vera town. The group has no membership subscriptions and intends to meet informally once each month for a preferred activity such as walking, dining out, guided discussion, talks, charity events etc. depending on members’ preferences. Humanist ceremonies for naming, marriages and funerals are already available through a similar and established group in the Mazarron area and there is scope here for some combined activities.

Missed out ON September 21 the Anglo/Spanish Integration Day took place in Huercal Overa and was attended by hundreds of people, both Spanish and English. However, your paper did not publish anything about the event even though it was well advertised. Given the amount of hard work that both the Spanish and British people put into the day, it was extremely disappointing. The Walk for Life was on the same day and was worthy of an article, so why not this event? I am not the only person to feel disgruntled by this omission.

Wrath of the Titans In the decade since Perseus (Sam Worthington), bastard son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), destroyed the monstrous Kraken, he has built a quaint life in a remote fishing village. However, fate is to call him into action once again when the gods, weakened by the waning faith of humans, begin to power over the ferocious Titans. The gods' greatest foes have been locked in the mighty prison of Tartarus but, under the leadership of the terrible Kronos, threaten to break out and lay waste to Greece.

Greedy band of callous cronies... LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

HIS week, for the first time in years, I found myself watching the awful, intelligence insulting TV abomination ‘X Fracture.’ I tuned out to this pile of utter garbage some years ago, when, not only did I find it less than vaguely entertaining, but felt it was actually edging dangerously close to child abuse. Relenting to the pleas of my own dynamic duo however, and believing one has to at least review a situation before re-condemning it, I succumbed to another once over. Well, in my opinion, it is now even worse. It appears to me that the ‘judges’ of this cruel media rubbish have been exposed to mediocrity and untalented individuals for so long, their standards have sunk to a point of such pathetic banality, they couldn’t judge a small town pie bake. ‘That was truly amazin,’ ‘You really made that song your own’; they crow to a young pimply wannabe, who has just managed to flatten and completely

destroy a much loved and revered pop classic ‘Well done, you’re a star’ gushes Louis Walsh, eyes flashing at a young pretty male singer who would go skint croaking for pennies on a suburban street corner. As for the Osbourne woman; frankly she has to be one of the least qualified people ever to be elected a judge.All this woman has ever done in the realms of show business is tried to enter the Guinness book of records for the most widely acclaimed adaption of plastic implants and married a junkie pop singer! What on earth qualifies her to be on this bone-jarring jury of court jesters? The show’s format itself has also actually managed to raise its levels of cruelty even further. These sad, often painfully young competitors are now placed in a situation of winning their round, but not actually being secure in their achievement. During the early heats, six of them are told how wonderful they are and elected to take their place on the half dozen seats provided. Once these are filled, the judges then turn to the remaining entrants. Should they decide (and they always do) that a later performance also merits a seat; they then consider which of the already selected entrants will be ousted to

make room for their new proffered choice. This gives the cameras yet another excuse to probe the tortured faces of these young people, while they await the agonising drawn out decision to snatch away what has been awarded them only a short time before. It’s all a pathetic and dangerous disgrace. How one of these young hopefuls has not committed suicide to date I really cannot understand. Would Cowell and his greedy band of callous cronies really care that much? Mmm.. I leave you to decide! Keep the faith. Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@ gmail.com.

OPINION & COMMENT

SHARON OSBOURNE: Should she be a judge on X Factor?

LETTERS TO LEAPY

Rant away… LEAPY, I agree entirely with your comments (rants) about this burka business. I spent eight-and-ahalf years in Saudi and sort of enjoyed it. All of your comments are spot on, the UK really has to get its act in gear fast. My greatest concern is just how do you stop it? Once you let the genie (extremist) out of the bottle you can never get them back in. Who knows what sort of world our grandchildren will inhabit. Not one I would want to live in. Keep up the good work. I for one am keeping the faith. Mike Hall (By email) Editor’s note: Leapy argued against allowing radical Islam, including the wearing of the Burka’s full face veil.

Independence is in the air The Catalan political parties have asked for a referendum Cassandra Nash

A weekly look and not entirely impartial reaction – to the Spanish political scene

Shutterstock_matthi.

PART from the PP and the PSC (Cataluña’s PSOE) all Catalan political parties voted to ask the central government for an independence referendum. The Cataluña Generalitat has three months to complete the task. If Madrid baulks, there will be a referendum anyway. Should this happen, Rajoy would appeal to the Tribunal Constitucional and the vote would be halted. This could be what an increasingly isolated Artur Mas, the Catalan premier, wants. He would be able to turn to voters and say he had done his best and receive some breathing space until the 2016 elections. An unofficial plebiscite instead of a referendum will then give voice to

The argument goes that this does not apply to TC judges and Perez de los Cobos was not an acting judge while he was paying PP dues. Lastly, the impartiality ruling requires judges to resist political intervention by the government of the day, not their own leanings. The unchecked partiality of 52-yearold Lieutenant Colonel Miguel Ayuso is more worrying than Mariano Rajoy Perez de los Cobos’s. Ayuso is a 52year-old military judge who is also a Carlist and believes have asked for a vote on independence. Sixto de Borbon is COBOS is President of Spain’s Spain’s legitimate king. He regards highest court of law, the Tribunal the 1936-1939 Civil War as ‘a true crusade.’ Constitutional (TC). Ayuso, up for promotion, He was also a paid-up member of the PP from 2008 to 2011 incidentally, is under investigation although Spanish judges are by the Ministry of Defence. When it comes to bias, Perez de banned from political affiliation.

REFERENDUM: Catalan parties voters’ feelings, not the politicians’ which do not necessarily coincide.

Biased FRANCISCO PEREZ DE LOS

los Cobos is a paragon of impartiality in comparison.

Negative MARIANO RAJOY has not given an interview for months, but Bloomberg TV in New York looked good on paper. Presumably he expected to explain his economic strategies. Instead his interviewer dragged up the PP’s ex-treasurer Luis Barcenas and slush fund claims. Rajoy could hardly reply, yet again, that he has said all there is to say about Barcenas. The interviewer pressed him as no one presses him here but got little in return as Rajoy launched into inscrutable Gallego mode, answering everything except the question asked. “You can’t prove what’s not true,” he protested. Unfortunately for Rajoy, sceptical interviewers and weary voters are less prepared to swallow double negatives.

winners are…

nner was followed by the inners at the H10 Andalucia d by the Euro Weekly News, roducers came together with to celebrate the awards.

WINNING for the second time at MIFF was American Justin Hunt, this time with a deeply personal film about his family. His father, Glen is a Hall of Fame ex-jockey with 3,000 winning rides to his name, mostly in partnership with his trainer ex-wife Linda in the GHL racing stable. That was the hook to hang The Speed of Orange on, but you don’t have to be a racing fanatic to enjoy the movie. “It’s really about my family, and the tragedies that drove them apart,” Justin told Dilip Kuner. “I hoped this film could bring them back together.” His mother’s fight against cancer is poignantly put over in the feature length documentary, as well as the ups and downs of his family. Accompanying Justin and his wife Danielle to Marbella was Glen himself- a very fit 69-year-old. What shines through in the film, despite the tragedy, is love. It is a touching movie that draws tears at times. Harrowing scenes of his mother’s struggle are tempered by an uplifting message. A well deserved winner.’

SPANISH actor Jordi Collado spoke to Gabriel Pajares about the creative process behind El Efecto K (The K Effect), directed by Valenti Figueres. The film follows the life of Maxime Stransky, a double agent working for Joseph Stalin involved in several historical events including the Wall Street crash of 1929 and the Second World War. “Valenti carried out a thorough research to reflect these moments with historical accuracy,” Collado said. Using 60 per cent of original footage and 40 per cent archive footage, The K Effect theorises about a film editing effect known as the Kuleschov Effect and how it can be used to manipulate the audience. “It’s all about image contamination. A fictitious past is built as the story goes on,” Collado said. Selected in 52 film festivals and winner of 20 international awards, The K Effect also aims at tracing a history of cinema. “The film goes from black and white to smooth pastel tones typical of the first Hollywood films in colour,” Collado said. “But it was more of a need than an artistic choice,” he added.

OPINION & COMMENT

The best of times, the worst of times experiencing life in Spain F

OR Diane Greenfield, aged 70, the best thing about Spain was actually deciding to move here to enjoy her retirement in Quesada (Alicante). Sadly the worst thing was when she lost her husband last April. Now he has passed away Diane said the worst thing about Spain is the public transport, or rather the lack of: “I don’t drive and there just aren’t any buses. I have to walk everywhere, there is no service from the urbanisations. That is really my only gripe about Spain.” Carley Williams, aged 34, a housewife from Torrevieja (Alicante) said for her the best thing about Spain was that she met her partner here and had two children born in Spain. She said: “Spain will always hold a place in my heart for the fact my children were born here, but the worst thing is the economy and lack of work and how difficult it

DIANE GREENFIELD: Problems with public transport. (Almeria). He said: “The best experience is definitely the lifestyle, we have made a lot of friends here. The worst is

owning an illegal property, but that is getting sorted out.” Chris Levy, also retired and living in Arboleas said: “The best experience has been the friendly Spanish people, everyone in the shops are helpful and especially Felix in the pharmacy who has been fantastic in helping us out. “We have got everything we need here. “The worst experience was the floods of last year. It was really frightening the amount of rain we had with the bridges collapsing. Luckily we were not cut off completely.” But for Jessica Steele, 63, form Fuengirola the weather has been the best thing of Spain. “I have lived here three years now, and the sunshine has kept a smile on my face! Worst thing has been not knowing the language when I first arrived, but that is slowly coming along.”

Whingeing poms win Olympic gold! Time is important. Why do so many Brits spend it whingeing? Nora Johnson

Breaking Views A Costa del Sol resident for a number of years, Nora is the author of psychological suspense and crime thrillers. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/columnists/nora-johnson

ECENTLY, we’ve all been entertained by something for which the Brits would win Olympic gold, every time, if it were elevated to a sport. Whingeing! First off, all those ‘Angry of Tunbridge Wells’ type viewers moaning about BBC staff seen eating bananas, sipping hot drinks, hugging, picking their noses and fighting with umbrellas in their new open-plan newsroom. Good grief! This newsroom is exactly like any other office area in Britain with people not permanently glued to their computers, instead of behaving normally. Occasionally chatting with colleagues, finding out what

else is happening, even BUDGET AIRLINES: If you don’t like travelling with them then pay for full cost ones instead.

fooling around. We've all done it! What could be worse in a TV newsroom? (Well, apart from maybe ending up seeing naked pictures of Eric Pickles.) Another instance of whingeing? Angry and far-from-polite gripes and moans from other air passengers about easyJet’s threat to refuse to allow a law student to board a flight recently for tweeting his frustration about his

own delayed flight

and that of a serving soldier: “Soldier going to miss last connection & @easyjet refusing to help pay for him to get to Portsmouth. Get right into em!” Now, every airline has the right to ban any passenger it suspects may become violent during the course of a flight. And the tweet “Get right into ‘em!” is undoubtedly ambiguous and understandably construed as a

threat of violence by easyJet which didn’t deserve all the badmouthing it received. Every company has to deal with complaints from unsatisfied customers but, unfortunately for air passengers, it tends to result from delayed or cancelled flights which means tempers flare quickly. Everyone says they’ll never, ever fly with Ryanair, easyJet etc again yet, somehow, these companies grow their customer base every year. And the

solution’s really quite simple. Plan your schedule and build in some contingency – which the soldier and his tweeting mate clearly hadn’t. And if you don’t like travelling with budget airlines, stop whingeing and fly with full cost ones instead. WC Fields once said he spent most of his money on booze and fast women...the rest of it he squandered. He was talking about money, but surely time’s important too, isn’t it? So, why do so many Brits squander time whingeing? OK, had enough of all my own whingeing, next scandal please!

OPINION & COMMENT

Linguistic tensions stir up a historical problem for Spain Bruce Walbran Historically Speaking!

Spanish Constitution Commemoration. A monument to the first Spanish Constitution in Cadiz, Spain.

Bruce - a former UK career linguist - has studied national history and culture for years. A Spanish resident for two decades, he lives in Alfaz del Pi, near Benidorm.

HAT surprises many a first time visitor to Spain is the linguistic diversity that exists here. Catalan, Valenciano, the Gallego of Galicia and the Asturiano of Asturias. Not forgetting the Euskara language spoken by the Basque people. It is a situation that has enriched the cultural appeal of Spain and one that has, sadly, also led to tension and conflict, especially so during the Franco dictatorship. For a period of almost 40 years, in an attempt to linguistically unify the country, Castilian was declared Spain’s only official

language. All others were banned. Foreign films were dubbed into Castilian only and newborn children had to be christened with Spanish names. However, despite these and other repressive measures, the various languages of Iberia survived. If you speak to people who lived through the Franco

years, in the Valencian Community, for example, they will proudly tell you that Castilian may have been the language used in public life, but Valenciano was the language of the home. It was a show of defiance that is, to some extent, being echoed in the Balearic Islands at present. Over the past week, protests have been taking place in

Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera involving over 110,000 people, a tenth of the islands’ overall population. As well as protesting the cuts in education spending, they are also objecting to a proposed change in the school curriculum that will see the teaching time of Catalan and Spanish reduced in favour of English. The idea is to promote trilingualism, as difficult to achieve as it is to pronounce. But the islanders see the move more as an assault upon the Catalan language and there have also been corresponding protests in Barcelona to make known to Madrid that the wider Catalan community is united in

support of the islands. Now, you could easily call this needless provincialism, kicking up such a fuss over taking away a few hours of tuition in Catalan. After all, the Spanish Constitution does ultimately guarantee the protection of the regional tongues. But there is something utterly profound about language that stirs the emotions in us, especially if we feel that our particular language is under threat. It’s all about valuing identity, which is enshrined in the language we speak and the way we speak it; not to mention how we pass that heritage on to subsequent generations. And so, I would say that if my language and culture, millennia in the making, had recently suffered a 40 year assault upon its legitimacy, then I probably wouldn’t be willing to cede even one minute of its tuition to my children.

OPINION & COMMENT

Europe, the divided continent Imagine what a truly united democratic Europe could do Mike Walsh Mike Walsh. Based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

HE disintegration of the Soviet Union liberated Europe, or did it? It seemed that Europe was united for the first time since the overthrow of Tsarist Russia and the capture of Europe by the Bolsheviks. Sadly, the concept of a united Europe is still a dream. The liberation of Europe in 1945 was a cruel self-deception. For millions of Europeans the victors’ oppression was to last a further 45 years. In 1989 - 1991, we sat glued to our television sets as the war ended; the Berlin Wall collapsed and millions partied. Today the European Union is made up of 28 nations. However, there are 50 countries in continental Europe. Travel

LIBERATION OF EUROPE: The famous kiss between the Soviet and East German leaders. between them up to 1917 was far easier than it is now. Yet today half the peoples of one Europe wishing to visit the other half are obliged to negotiate an expensive soul-destroying paper chase application as fearsome as was the Berlin Wall. Doing so is a dreadful venture: Only the illegal, wealthy, corrupt and well connected can do so. One day I will tell you just what

an ordinary European living on the other side of the railroad track has to do to do what Americans take for granted, to choose the state of their choice. You will be shocked. In return for residency rights, Del Boy Spain flogs parcels of land at €500,000. I was taken aback when years ago a German friend told me he welcomed the Soviet Union’s occupation of Eastern Germany.

He explained that eventually the Soviet regime would collapse. What my friend could not foresee is that with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the West changed places with the Soviet Bloc. Back then, the USSR was a near bankrupt gathering of disparate countries run by a self-elected leadership. Tell me, can you give me a better description of the European Union?

Twenty-seven unelected commissioners (commissars) make the European Union’s important decisions. Jose Manuel Barroso is the unelected President of the European Commission. He loftily declares that ‘nation states are dangerous if they are excessively democratic.’ The president of the European Council is unelected Herman van Rompuy. Everyone in Brussels and Strasbourg knows that if the European Union (EU) applied to join itself it would be turned down for being undemocratic. Who could have foreseen Russia and a score of Eastern countries being based on democratic principles whilst the EU morphs into a debt-burdened banker’s plantation? If despite the enormous costs involved the reunification of Germany can create Europe’s most powerful nation, imagine what a truly united democratic Europe could do.

Growing your own vegetables on a small scale Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.

ITH a shortage of biologically or organically grown vegetables available in most Spanish hypermarkets compared to the UK, Holland and Germany, it’s very worthwhile to grow your own. You don’t need much space and no previous experience is required. Although we used to have a large vegetable plot growing some 50 varieties of vegetables a year and harvesting for not only ourselves but neighbours, we now grow on a smaller scale to match our ages and daily needs, and at the

same time experiment with novel small growing methods. We do this for five reasons. Firstly, sprouting seeds such as mung beans, alfalfa, fenugreek, radish, lentils, chick peas and sunflowers are best grown on a small scale and eaten fresh so. Secondly, we enjoy wild mushrooms, setas in Spanish, but - being unsure of what can be collected and eaten from the wooded mountainsides in inland valleys - we grow our own. Many garden centres and agricultural cooperatives now sell specially prepared sacks impregnated with the appropriate spores. All we have to do is put the small sacks in the garage, tear six to eight holes in the plastic cover, and kilos of setas appear within a few weeks. Thirdly, although we have many types of perennial herbs in the garden for cooking and infusions, it’s more convenient and easier to grow

annual herbs in pots in the semi shade of the area close to the kitchen door. And if you grow your own, an HOME GROWN: High in vitamins and chemical-free.

amazing number of perhaps unknown varieties can be grown way beyond what are for sale in garden centres and supermarkets. For instance, basil comes in dozens of varieties. The leaves can add real interest to summer and autumn salads. Unfortunately, local displays of seeds rarely include the unusual varieties. We suggest you obtain the 2012 or 2013 catalogue from Chilterns Seeds catalogue ( info@chilternseeds.co.uk.) Fourthly, we have fun discovering what can be grown successfully in the large plastic pots in which large trees are delivered from garden centres. As well as in window boxes,

TASTY: Several types of courgettes make dinner plates interesting. large paint containers, small raised beds and an old bath. Fifthly, it gives us some fun as well as serious things to write about in this column. Serious because: • All too many mass produced vegetables are forced with a combination of plastic greenhouses, over watering and feeding, and constant spraying with questionable chemicals if not grown biologically or organically. • An increasing number of the vegetables sold in Spain are imported. Aim for diversity to make the eating of vegetables every day of the week interesting to all members of the family, from one to 101 years of age.

ILD relatives of the dog often bury their food. They may have killed an animal that is too big to eat all at once, or may have killed several animals when they were very plentiful. Wolves and fox will bury this food to preserve it and hopefully to protect it from being found by another animal who would want to eat it. This is called ‘caching’ or ‘hoarding’ their food. Squirrels do the same thing. Domestic dogs still carry this hoarding trait and will bury a bone or toy in the garden, or even under a blanket as a way of saving and protecting it. Our dogs seldom experience the extreme hunger that would encourage them to find it again, so often, these buried treasures are forgotten. Dogs lick to groom themselves and

BURYING: Dogs will often bury a bone or toy in the garden. others. Mothers lick their puppies to clean them and stimulate their urination and defecation. Older puppies and the young of wild dogs lick the mouths of the adults as a greeting to stimulate them to regurgitate. The puppies eat this regurgitated food as they are weaned from their mother and begin to eat solid food. As the puppies grow older, the licking becomes a way of greeting and

increasing bonding between pack members. This last reason for licking (greeting and begging) is probably the one that has developed into the licking tendency of pet dogs. Licking is a way our pet dogs can greet us, say “it’s good to see you!” and strengthen their relationship with us.

Do you understand Spanish insurance?

U Insurance has just celebrated its eighth year anniversary in Spain and would like to point out some very valuable notes about how insurance differs from Spain and the UK. • Health Insurance in Spain Spain changed its rules last September and thousands of people do not now fall into the category for ‘free’ healthcare any more. It is always wise to take out Travel Insurance if you don’t live here and more importantly to take out private health insurance if you do. EU Insurance offer excellent competitive insurance up to the age of 69 for private health cover and no age limit for travel as long as a trip is no more than 31 days. Differences from the UK - Most private hospitals have multi-lingual staff and interpreters. The majority of plans, members must use a specific network of hospitals and clinics, although plans offering freedom of choice are offered. • Home Insurance in Spain Protection against fire, flood, and theft including all risk jewellery outside

• Car Insurance in Spain Fully comprehensive, third party, fire and theft and third party basic cover are available. The cover includes European Roadside Recovery, some include protected no claims and a courtesy car. Prices extremely competitive compared to the UK. Difference from the UK - In Spain it is the car that is insured and therefore normally unless specified allows others to drive your car with your permission. In Spain we can also cover UK and Spanish registered cars.

NOTE: There are various differences between insurance in Spain and the UK. the home can be covered at competitive costs including documents and claims in English. EU Insurance is also able to offer subsidence and landslip cover from certain underwriters. Differences from the UK - Most Spanish Insurances do not normally

include subsidence or landslip within their policies mainly due to the types of build and workmanship. Some limited cover is provided under the Consorcio, the Government based scheme which is paid for out of the insurance premium.

EU Insurance prides itself on giving the best advice combined with competitive quotes and an excellent service to clients. It also offers commercial, pet and travel insurance. If you have a renewal due or need advice, call or send an email or visit the website for a friendly and helpful service in English, or visit their office in Elviria.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 665 682 919 or 605 227 155.

GOODBYE: End of the Kombi.

Saying goodbye AFTER more than six decades, Kombi, the iconic hippie van from Volkswagen is saying goodbye to the markets. The Volkswagen plant in Sao Bernardo do Campo in Brazil, the only one remaining in the world producing this model, officially the type 2, announced it will no longer do so from December this year. A new Brazilian transport safety regulation has forced the production

stoppage of the Beetle-based model, still used by many in the South American country. But before giving the last farewell to the iconic van, Volkswagen will launch a special edition limited of 1,200 units. The Last Edition Kombi will put an official end to a model that was first launched in Germany in 1950. Closely related to the hippie movement, the Kombi van has also appeared in numerous films and TV shows.

Seb revving up as England look to Rio Tony Matthews

OMORROW night (9pm) England meet Montenegro in the first of two vital home World Cup qualifiers in the space of five days. Next Tuesday (also at 9pm) Roy Hodgson’s men face Poland. Two wins will seal a place in next year’s World Cup in Brazil. This weekend Sebastian Vettel will, I’m sure, clinch the 2013 Formula 1 drivers’ championship with victory at the Japanese Grand Prix; the Spanish trio of Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo will again be aiming for a 1-2-3 finish in the Malaysia MotoGP in Sepang and Andrew Jordan and Matt Neal will be seeking victory in the final round of the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) at Brands Hatch. • FOOTBALL... There

were wins for five British clubs in European competitions last week: Arsenal (2-0 v Napoli) and Chelsea (40 v Steau Bucharest) were victorious in the Champions League and Spurs (2-0 v Anzhi), Swansea (1-0 v St Gallen) and Wigan (3-1 v Maribor) triumphed in the Europa League.

In Zurich last Friday, FIFA members met to discuss the plight of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and it was decided that a working group be engaged to discuss the situation. There is a strong possibility that owing to the heat and humidity, the competition will take place in January/February. But a decision will not be made until after the 2014 World Cup. SEBASTIAN VETTEL: Winner.

Marbella Rubgy Club SATURDAY saw the Marbella first team take on visitors Granada in a preseason rugby friendly at home at the Bahia stadium. It was 25 minutes before the visitors finally broke through after some brilliant defending from MRC, and by half time the score was 15-0. The second half brought about some bruising encounters, with total commitment in the scrums and tenacious full on contact tackling, Granada dug out another three scores more. Then, towards the end, a breakaway run saw winger Agosto sprint some 85 meters to score the try everyone had waited. Final score for the home team against the Granada team 10-31. The Marbella team’s next game is October 12. More information: Club Secretary Sarah King on 692 061 982.

Disappointing loss as Malaga prepare for their Madrid clash MALAGA: Face a tough trip to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Dave Redshaw Malaga CF Reporter Dave Redshaw Dave is the author of ‘Malaga Football Club - The Story’ available from Amazon.

ALAGA face a tough trip to the Santiago Bernabeu to face Real Madrid (Saturday October 19, kick-off 4pm) after this week’s international break following a disappointing 1-0 loss to lowly Osasuna at La Rosaleda. The Pamplona outfit had lost all three games on the road this season but quickly settled into their stride, Oriel Riera’s effort from the edge of the box forcing goalkeeper Willy Caballero into action in the opening minutes. Miguel de las Cuevas then saw a rising shot go over the bar, while Malaga responded with Duda firing high and wide and Roque Santa Cruz’s header bringing a fine save from Andres.

Position as of Wednesday noon.

However, it was the away side that got the breakthrough on 23 minutes when Riera fired home at the second time of asking after Caballero had saved his initial attempt. It was almost 2-0 moments later as the Malaga ‘keeper was again called upon, this time to deny Emiliano Armenteros and then Sisi.

The home side had what looked a legitimate appeal for a penalty turned down on 43 minutes when the ball appeared to strike Riera’s arm, but the referee was not interested and Osasuna deservedly went in at the break with a one goal lead. Malaga boss Bernd Schuster made two

changes at halftime, bringing on Mounir El Hamdaoui and Bartlomiej Pawlowski in place of Duda and Pedro Morales. Nonetheless, despite dominating most of the possession the hosts had to wait until the 69th minute to carve out a clearcut opening when Andres was on hand to save comfortably from Santa Cruz. Los Blanquiazules began to pin Osasuna back

in their own half for long spells as the game wore on, although chances were increasingly hard to come by as they struggled to break down a resolute defence and their final ball let them down. Fernando Tissone tried his luck as the Costa del Sol side became increasingly desperate in the closing stages and they had another penalty appeal turned down in stoppage time, but Osasuna held on to secure a much-needed three points and bring to an end Malaga’s five-game unbeaten run.
