CLEAN-UP: Fire crew pumps out a flooded basement.

Heavens open over Costa del Sol

HEAVY rainfall last weekend, September 28 and 29, brought flooding to the Costa del Sol. Emergency services were called out to more than 70 incidents ranging from car accidents to severe flooding across the province. Traffic was brought to a halt in several places by fast-moving water that had built up on roads. The worst affected areas were Fuengirola, Marbella and Mijas, where the town hall put in place an emergency plan to

ensure the smooth running of both the medical and fire services. On Sunday morning alone Mijas registered 47.7 litres of rainfall per square metre. Two people were trapped by floods in their car in Mijas while many people had to be evacuated from their homes due to flooding in Las Lagunas. Commercial businesses across the province also suffered as their basements flooded. The Costa del Sol was on yellow alert until midday on Sunday.

Sex offenders go to prison THREE men are to serve a total of 12 years imprisonment for the rape of a tourist. The two brothers and their cousin were sentenced in 2013 to four years each after having been found guilty of the rape of a British national they had met at a Puerto Marina discotheque in Benalmadena. The sentence has now been

upheld by the Supreme Court. The rape took place on October 4, 2001 when the 32year-old Briton was leaving a discotheque while on holiday on the Costa del Sol. The three men she had just met offered to give her a lift. They all got in a vehicle and drove to a secluded area, where the woman was subjected to a

serious sexual assault and left abandoned. The victim had bruises all over her body and required psychological and psychiatric treatment. She is said to have waived her right to compensation. Two of the men have a criminal record for domestic violence, maltreatment and assault. TUROL JONES FLICKR

Many will be dressed in the traditional costume of Aragon and will bring flowers to the Virgin statue in a relatively modern ‘tradition’ which has become one of the biggest religious gatherings in Spain.

The tradition can be traced back to 1952, when Zaragoza City Hall officials attended the festival of Castellón de la Plana. So impressed were they by the celebrations there, that they decided to start up a similar event in their own city, but it was not until 1958 that the first Offering of Flowers was made in Zaragoza. Now hundreds of thousands of people gather to place the flowers in the centre of the Plaza del Pilar square.

Plans for AVE link The right thing Malaga to Sevilla

A note from the

Editor

to do is fight IS

HE UK Parliament has done the right thing in the fight against IS Islamic fighters. Sending in the RAF to help in the fight against extremism is the least the government can do. The IS, in both Syria and Iraq, has shown itself to be utterly ruthless with a total disregard for the lives of people who get in their way. And we need to be clear about this, it is not just people of other religions they are killing and driving from their homes, it is fellow Muslims too. Their religious war is not about spreading the word of Islam, as they may want to make some people think, it is about enforcing their own particularly bloodthirsty interpretation. Not for them persuasion; they take the route of oppression. It speaks volumes that Iran, not noted for its tolerance, is one of the

main opponents of IS in the region. Iran has supplied guns and ammunition to forces opposed to IS, and also sent in rocket launchers. So an unofficial and unlikely alliance is now forming against the IS threat. A NATO-based coalition in the air, and Iran on the ground. Unfortunately, there seem to be too many disaffected youth radicalised in Western countries, from Spain to France and the UK, willing to join in the bloodshed, the most infamous of whom is Jihadi John, who has so cruelly beheaded three hostages on video. So yes, send in the air force, but also think about those who have joined in the fight for IS. It should be made absolutely clear there is no room back home, whether in the UK, Spain or any other country, for anyone who has joined the organisation.

Attack stopped AN off-duty policeman in Mijas was forced to intervene after witnessing an incident of domestic violence. The officer was having lunch with his family on a restaurant terrace when he witnessed a man violently attack his wife. Speaking about the incident, the officer said: “I’ve come across situations such as this before, but never off-duty, and not in front of my family. “Domestic violence in a relationship is something no couple should have to go through.”

The officer arrested the man at around midday on Saturday whilst enjoying his day off. The policeman, who is from Malaga but works in Mijas and has over a decade of experience, watched from the terrace of a restaurant as a man began to argue vehemently with his partner, resulting in him slapping her. The officer ran to intervene, shouting at the aggressor. He identified himself as a policeman and kept him at the scene until backup arrived.

Fuengirola kicksoff party season THE citizens of Fuengirola did not let a little rain spoil the party as they came out in force on Sunday September 28 in honour of their patron saint. The rain-sodden streets of Fuengirola were filled with signs of devotion as the town celebrated its romeria in the run-up to the fair. The romeria, or pilgrimage in English, is held in honour of Fuengirola’s patron saint, the Santísima Virgen del Rosario Coronada (The most Holy Virgin of the Crowned Rosary).

After the church service which took place early on Sunday morning in the Plaza de la Constitucion, the procession made its way from the town centre to the El Esparragal Park on the outskirts of Mijas. Live music, carts and wagons drawn by oxen, and horses with their riders marked this most typical of Andalucia’s fiestas. The weather improved as the procession made its way along the three kilometre route, and as the Virgin reached her final destination, even the sun had shown up to join the party.

Taxi drivers in Malaga to strike TAXI drivers in Malaga are to go on strike on Tuesdays and during holidays. Malaga taxi drivers held a meeting on Monday (September 29) at Palacio de Congresos where they decided to stage partial strikes on Tuesdays and total strikes during Christmas, Easter Week and the feria in August. The decision comes after the Junta de Andalucia has done nothing to solve the conflict regarding the sharing out of airport passengers between provincial and capital taxi drivers, they said. There are to be two-hour strikes on Tuesdays and complete strikes on December 24, 31 and January 5. Should the Junta de Andalucia fail to take heed of their demands, the strike could be extended at least until next summer, they said. In fact, a new meeting has been organised for January 2015, in which taxi drivers are to schedule a series of demonstrations.

‘Drive-by’ shooting after fight at Malaga party A YOUNG man has been shot in the stomach following a fight in a Malaga bar. The 30-year-old remains in Malaga’s Carlos Haya Hospital but sources say his condition is not life-threatening. The incident is being

investigated by the National Police force, and appears to be connected to rivalry between two family clans based in the area. The shooting occurred early on the morning of Monday September 29, in Calle

Jaboneros in Malaga’s Trinidad neighbourhood. According to newspaper Diario Sur, various members from the two families ran into one another at a party in the area, and after a brawl, were kicked out by bouncers.

The men clashed a second time after meeting on the street, and sources reported that during the confrontation the victim was shot in the abdomen in a drive-by style attack. Some months ago, the two

families met at the entrance to Malaga’s Hosptial Clínico, and shots were fired into the air, causing general panic, although no injuries. The gunman remains at large and the National Police continue to investigate the incident.

The bar was known for being open for long, extended hours. Finding Tarek alive but unresponsive, the young man who discovered him ran to get help. An ambulance was called and

Registering on the padron is an obligation THE foreign population in Benahavis now constitutes 60 per cent or more of the registered population. Registered foreign residents should remember that they can vote in the Benahavis municipal elections scheduled for May 2015. However, in order to have the right to vote, they must be registered on the electoral census before the end of this month. This is a separate registration to the padron. Foreign residents are encouraged to check their voting status at the town hall. And a little reminder for those Benahavis residents who are not already registered on the padron: registering on the padron is an obligation for expatriates who habitually live in Benahavis whether they own a property, rent or live with family and friends. Habitual is regarded as living in Benahavis for more than 90 days a year or having children at local schools. It is a way for the council to know exactly how many people live in the area and receive funding accordingly. No investigations about a person’s official residence status or tax affairs are involved. People habitually living in Benahavis have the obligation to register. At this point they can elect to be placed on the electoral register which allows them to cast their vote in the next local elections due in May next year.

Pantoja team hopeful she will avoid prison LAWYERS representing singer Isabel Pantoja have high hopes that she will be able to avoid time behind bars. The legal team representing the legendary flamenco singer hopes to be able to deal with the fine and avoid prison as the judge is still to give the order to begin the 10-day window in which Pantoja will have to present herself at the prison gates. Pantoja was convicted of money laundering for her part in a corruption and bribery scandal involving her exlover, the former Mayor of Marbella Julian Muñoz. While everyone awaits news from the judge, Pantoja’s legal team is frantically sketching out a strategy to avoid her ending up behind bars. Although sentenced to two years in prison and a fine of €1,150,000, the lawyers representing the flamenco star remain optimistic that the singer will be able to pay the fine and successfully file for a suspension of her prison sentence. That she will be given a suspension

LADY IN WAITING: Flamenco singer Isabel Pantoja. is far from certain. Even if Pantoja fulfils the requirements necessary for a suspension of her sentence, she would still have to await a ruling from the courts in her favour. As the courts have remained tight-lipped as to the possibility of a suspension, some have interpreted this as an intention to make her serve her time. Once the order is given for Pantoja

to begin her sentence, her defence team could seek a suspension of her sentence by either appealing to the Constitutional Court or filing for an annulment at the Supreme Court. The singer is undoubtedly waiting with bated breath for news from the judge, as it is still very much a case of ‘heads or tails’ as to whether she will serve her sentence or not.

Having a ball to raise cash for cancer treatment…. Thank you to...

ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month across the world and the Costa del Sol community always comes together to do its bit. El Oceano Hotel in La Cala de Mijas is once again proud to play host to The Positively Pink Fundraising Ball on Thursday October 9, which this year is sponsored by Elite Glass Curtains Last year the generosity of the people of the Costa del Sol was extraordinary as more than €25,000 was raised at the event and this year they want to beat that. Positively Pink is a registered charity, dedicated to raising money to help offer support, care and education to women suffering from breast cancer. The people behind the charity have all been touched in some way by this devastating disease and work tirelessly, voluntarily, to help women through each and every stage of treatment. Positively Pink is the only charity on the Costa del Sol dedicated to raising money so British women who live in the Malaga area have access to FREE breast screening and to raise funds to improve medical treatment. The normal cost of this ranges from €120 to €150, but events like this help to raise money so that women who need it, have access to the service. Last year the charity helped 560 women have free breast-screening tests. Organiser Lorraine Palmer says: “The community comes together to look after the community. I am so touched by everyone, I have cried

THE Constitutional Court in Madrid has suspended an independence referendum for Catalonia on November 9, although leaders have said they will press ahead with the preparations for a vote anyway. The 12 judges took just a few hours to make a decision against the independence referendum, which had been declared on Saturday (September 27) terming it illegal on grounds of breaching the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitution. The decision had been predicted and expected by the regional government in Catalan. The court said in a statement that it had accepted an appeal and suspended the referendum whilst it considers arguments bought forward by the central government.

A peaceful festival A PEACE festival held at the British School of Marbella raised €1,380 for charity. The youngsters, their parents and the school staff dressed up for the charity event to celebrate the International Day of Peace, sometimes known unofficially as World Peace Day and observed every year on September 21. It is an annual international tradition that dates back to 1982. During the celebration, the youngsters sang Earth song (1995) by Michael Jackson, One Love (1977) by Bob Marley and Blowing in the Wind (1962) by Bob

Dylan and a group of mothers sang Love Train (1972), the hit single by American R&B group The O’Jays. There were handmade peace bracelets, headbands and painted lanterns on sale to help raise the funds, which are to be donated to the International Red Cross. “Peace is especially important in today’s world. Celebrating the International Day of Peace enabled our children to consider how we can live together in harmony while raising money for an extremely important charity,” said BSM Headmaster Sian Kirkham.

Inspiring change for women

STEPPING DOWN: Justice Minister Ruiz Gallardon.

A new life

SPANISH Minister of Justice Alberto Ruiz Gallardon has resigned and retired from politics altogether. “After 30 years in politics I am leaving. My life is now outside of politics,” said the veteran politician during a press conference. Gallardon was President of the Community of Madrid between 1995 and 2003 and Mayor of Madrid from 2003 until 2011. His decision came hours after Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced that the proposed abortion reform championed by Gallardon would be shelved because it had failed to garner the necessary consensus to be given the green light.

INSPIRED by the International Women’s Day celebrations in March, Costa Women founder Ali Meehan had the idea of bringing a full day business event to the Costa del Sol in order to inspire businesswomen to succeed and learn from each other.

Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short term lender. In our weekly column we look at different financial solutions that Hola Credito offers - this week - how to get the best price for high-end watches and diamonds you no longer want HOLA Credito is already one of Spain’s leading short term lenders, but has recently seen a rise in the amount of business it is doing with clients who don’t want or need to keep their high-value pieces, and would rather sell them. Currently the company is seeing a growth in the number of clients who want to sell pieces, especially high end watches and diamonds. Hola Credito has an extensive purchasing service for luxury watches and precious stones, and just lately has been able to offer its clients some excellent prices. The Puerto Banus based company keeps its overheads low through its online and telephone based service, so is able to offer the best possible prices to clients who want to sell. Its team of experts, who have more than 25 years experience in valuations, will quickly assess the pieces, and check global watch and gold

exchange prices. For example, older watches will be valued mainly on their gold content, condition and scarcity, whilst newer watches will rely more on current market values. Once a price is agreed Hola Credito’s fast efficient service means the deal is finalised immediately. Although the major part of Hola Credito’s business is offering short term loan solutions, some of its clients want an efficient way of selling luxury pieces they no longer want, for example a Rolex or a diamond ring.

Spain suspends Catalan referendum THE Constitutional Court in Madrid has suspended an independence referendum for Catalonia on November 9, although leaders have said they will press ahead with the preparations for a vote anyway. The 12 judges in Spain’s central government took just a few hours to make a decision against the independence referendum, terming it illegal on grounds of breaching the country’s constitution. The decision had been predicted and expected by the regional government in Catalan. The court, who had up to five months to give its ruling, said in a statement that it had accepted the appeal and suspended the referendum whilst it considers arguments bought forward by the central government. Artur Mas, the head of the Catalan government, signed a decree asking for a referendum on Saturday. The Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, said

in a televised address, after the emergency cabinet meeting: “he deeply regretted Mas’s move ... it divides Catalans, alienates them from Europe and the rest of Spain and seriously harms their welfare. “There is nothing and no one, no power nor institution that can break this principle of sole sovereignty.” He added that the right to decide a region’s status belonged to “all Spanish people” under the 1978 constitution law. Mas is still pushing ahead for a vote despite the harsh words of Rajoy, in a statement he said: “Voting on November is the best thing for everyone because it will allow us and also the Spanish government to know what the Catalan people’s opinion is.” Barcelona’s historic Sant Jaume square clock has been ticking down the seconds to November 9, with huge support and advertising campaigns from local television and radio stations.

Extradition looms for troubled boxer FORMER world champion boxer Scott Harrison has been detained and is awaiting extradition back to the Costa del Sol, where he will face a possible prison sentence for triple assaults.

The troubled exchampion could face up to four years in a Spanish jail, as his appeal in May

licence that was returned to him a few months ago, as it was handed back on

the condition that Harrison no longer had any legal issues. Harrison, 37, was found guilty and sentenced in 2012 after attacking two victims five years earlier in 2007. The judge said in his ruling: “He has been summonsed on several occasions to be notified he has to serve his prison sentence. He has not responded to any of those judicial summons and his whereabouts is unknown. A European arrest warrant has been issued to ensure this order is complied with.”

Marbella’s halal hotel MARBELLA’s Hotel Alanda has received recognition for its efforts to cater for Arab guests by becoming Spain’s first ever certified ‘Halal-friendly’ hotel. By offering services and products which fall in line with the Quran’s halal guidelines, Hotel Alanda has

cemented Marbella’s position as a market leader in appealing to Arab tourists. Easy access to halal products is often top of a practising Muslim’s list of priorities when choosing a holiday destination and up until now, Spain - with its love of all

things jamón ibérico - has not always been an easy place to find a wide variety of food and drink for those with strict dietary requirements. Recently, however, ‘Halal Tourism’ has become a profitable business model for many hoteliers to follow in Spain, and with the country’s first ever ‘International Halal Tourism’ congress being held in Granada earlier this month, Hotel Alanda’s ‘halal certified’ status has put Marbella firmly on the tourist’s map. The hotel was bought a year ago by the Saudi corporation Fawaz al Hokair, and located right on the Golden Mile, just 60 metres from the King Fahd Mosque. It is an ideal focal point for Islamic tourism. The hotel’s director Fernando Portal maintains that the hotel remains patronised predominately by British and Spanish clients, despite the fact that alcohol and pork are no longer served in any of its restaurants. The ‘Halal friendly’ hotel is without doubt a novel concept on the Costa del Sol, but with Islamic tourism injecting an estimated €300 million into Andalucia every year, it could certainly prove to be a lucrative business model.

AN entire village in Tarragona is up for sale. Esblada, a village comprising of 14 properties, two main streets and a couple of squares is up for sale for €280,000. The village is now owned by the bank, after the community tried and failed to set up a tourism business. Esblada, located by the Ancora mountains, was a thriving village in

the 1950’s and 1960’s but residents started to leave after a small insecticide factory closed and a charcoal production plant was modernised. Although not yet sold, it is believed that a Chinese investor is looking to purchase it. There are currently 3,000 villages for sale in Spain, some suitable for investment purposes and others just a platform to

start new beginnings. Documentaries about some of these deserted villages have created interest all over the world, even as far away as Australia, but there are a few buyers who are prepared to fight building costs whilst banks are reluctant to lend money. Some reports suggest it may be cheaper to buy a village in Spain than a garage in London.

Bomb blast in Galicia at the town hall A BOMB has gone off in the town hall of the Galician municipality of Baralla, partly destroying the building. The blast occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning, October 1, at 4.40am, causing significant structural damage to part of the town hall, as well as affecting adjacent buildings. According to La Voz de Galicia, the explosion was caused by a device planted in the entrance of the town hall. Investigations are under way, although neither the make-up of the explosive device or the perpetrators of the act are known at the present time. It is believed that the device was left sometime in the three hours before the blast, when a neighbouring bar had closed for the night. The explosion caused the town hall’s clock to stop at exactly 4.40am. Shockwaves from the blast caused damage to houses and businesses within

an 80 metre perimeter and woke up many in the vicinity, although there are no reports of personal injury or loss of life. The mayor of Baralla, Manuel González Capón, claimed to Galicia’s Radio Voz that the explosion at the town hall was caused ‘intentionally,’ and that he is ‘incredibly angry and indignant’ at the act. Mayor PP González Capón is known for his outspoken and right-wing beliefs. He has caused controversy before when speaking about the separatist group Resistencia Galicia, saying that those condemned to death under Franco’s dictatorial regime ‘deserved it.’ That the bomb was planted by Resistencia Galicia is one theory investigators are bound to be following, although as of yet no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the blast.

Mica Paris says yes to

NO Means NO….

THE No Means No campaign launched by the Euro Weekly News (EWN) has been given the thumbs-up by singer Mica Paris. As a crusader herself who does huge amounts of work for charity, she happily agreed to support the EWN campaign ‘No Means No,’ a movement against the abuse of women and the promotion of equality for women in a message that means: ‘When I say no, it really means no.’ She took the time to speak to EWN’s Anna Tildesley about her life and work…

IVACIOUS, bubbly and caring were the three words which immediately came to mind, when interviewing Mica Paris last night before her appearance at Old Joys Pub in Puerto Banus. Regardless of the sweltering heat and usual pre-show chaos, when there was a chance to sit with her for 10 minutes, it was like we were in a room on our own having a girlie chat. A legend in her own right,

“I really think women need all the help and encouragement they can get. We are under attack.” Mica Paris is not ‘just a singer’ as she puts it; in fact, she said: “If I was just a singer, it would drive me mad.” She is also a presenter, roving reporter and a regular fill-in host on ITV’s This Morning. And if that wasn’t enough to be getting on with, her spare time is dedicated to two charities. The legendary soul singer is the ambassador for the Amy Winehouse Trust, and the patron of the charity KIN (Kibera in Need). Mica travels to Kenya once a year to support the families in the Kibera slum and by the look on her face as she describes walking through the poverty-stricken area, it’s a very challenging and heartwrenching experience. “You gag as you walk through. I was ill for four days the last time I came back, but we have to help them,” she explained, adding: “I’m lucky, and I want people to realise

how spoilt we all are, it’s a reality check on life. “We worry about what our hair looks like or what necklace to wear, but when you go to these places, you realise that our worries are nothing compared to what these children live with.” Mica’s children also help out with the charity work and although it is too dangerous for them to go to the Kibera slums, she tells me that they do a lot of charity work around her home town of London. Fascinated by how this beautiful, 5ft 11” tall woman can look so amazing at 45 and knowing articles written about her yo-yo dieting and helterskelter weight fluctuations, when I asked her to divulge her secret of a balanced healthy lifestyle, surprisingly she didn’t talk about personal trainers, chia seeds or yoga classes. Instead she said: “It’s simple: one litre of water a day, vegetables, protein and a gym session three times a week,” and by the look on her face, when Alex looked over, a gorgeous boyfriend seems to help! Mica is embarking on two new albums to be released later this year. She is collaborating on the new Freemasons album and working with Rod Temperton, the songwriter famous for writing the historic No 1 hit for Michael Jackson, ‘Thriller.’

General weather conditions in Spain

WALK OF THE STARS: Arnold Schwarzenegger received an award in Almeria.

Arnie may be back THE TERMINATOR is back! But perhaps not in the way many expected, as Madrid named Arnold Schwarzenegger as their first Honorary Ambassador for Tourism. The 67-year-old actor and ex-governor of California has been asked by Spanish tourism officials to encourage more foreign tourists to visit the capital city.

Although the appointment may seem baffling to some, the Austrian-born actor does have a connection to Spain. The 1982 film Conan The Barbarian was filmed on location in Almeria and took €237 million at the box office. Last month he received a star in his honour on Almeria’s Paseo de las Estrellas (Walk of the Stars).

AS the climate has warmed globally, some types of extreme weather have become more frequent and severe in recent decades. Extreme heat, intense precipitation, and drought, are on the increase. Heat waves are becoming longer and hotter. Heavier rainfalls and flooding are more frequent. In a wide swing between extremes, drought is also more intense and more widespread. Small changes in the averages of many key climate variables can correspond to large changes in the weather. These changes are extremely difficult to predict and this weather variability can be extremely costly. Other atmospheric phenomena, such as hail, snow and fire, previously uncommon in regional climates such as the Mediterranean, are now

becoming more common occurrences. That’s why it’s important to take out a quality home insurance policy. With Linea Directa you are covered for damage by atmospheric phenomena.

Jihadist cell is dismantled in Melilla A SUSPECTED terrorist cell with possible links to Islamic State (IS) has been broken up in a joint operation between Spanish and Moroccan security forces. Raids were carried out in the Spanish city of Melilla on the North African coast, as well as in the Moroccan city of Nador, according to sources from Spain’s Interior Ministry. During the early hours of Friday September 26 nine suspects - eight Moroccans and one Spaniard - were arrested, although it is unclear if they were on the point of leaving for Iraq or Syria or not. The Spanish suspect is believed to have been head of the cell. Investigations, which remain open, were brought into being by a collaborative effort between the Spanish

MELILLA: Raids were carried out by security forces. National Police and Moroccan anti-terrorism operatives. Morocco appears to be a hotspot for terrorist activity, and in particular the recruitment of new extremists who are then trained before being sent to Iraq or Syria to join the violent conflict being waged by IS. Between 1,500 and 2,000 Moroccan nationals are currently thought to be

fighting under IS’s wing, meaning that the Moroccan government’s collaboration with Spain is especially important. The long-contended Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the Moroccan coastline are particularly delicate areas, and could be potential gateways for terrorists travelling between Europe and the Middle East in both directions.

His post sparked controversy among some of his Facebook friends and was later deleted after Gonzalez received a phone call from Spanish newspaper Diario Sur journalists who wanted to dig deeper into the meaning of his words. “I have nothing to say. There is more important news to report,” said Gonzalez, according to the newspaper. His contentious 20-line publication targeted

Spanish President Rajoy. The priest said: “This is what that wimp president we have has done to all of us who were awaiting the new abortion law he had promised.” He also made indirect references to former Presidents Aznar and Zapatero: “Make no mistake, this crisis started with the ‘Spain is doing well’ from the guy with the moustache,” and accused President Rajoy of “doing nothing against those who want to break Spain’s unity or against

those from his own party or the opposition who have stolen from public finances or against the unions that have lied and stolen.” On March 11, on the 10th anniversary of the Madrid train bombings, Gonzalez called upon authorities on his Facebook page to reopen the investigation to find the whereabouts of the masterminds behind the bloodbath. However, he also deleted that post after getting a call from Diario Sur.

O-ANNE FRIDA VAN TUIJL’S affiliation with film productions began 40 years ago when she was a production assistant in Washington. She then moved to Rome and began working as an extra in the movie The Achille Lauro Affair, starring Burt Lancaster and Eva Marie Saint. Her work as an extra changed its course after she accepted a job offer to coach foreign extras on The Godfather Part III. From then on she became a resident linguistic coach, helping Italian actors master the difficulties of English pronunciation. Her life in Rome was halted when she met a special man one week on the internet. After warning him: “Be careful meeting people on the internet,” he flew over to see her, asked her to marry him that night and she promptly relocated to Marbella with him 11 years ago. Jo-Anne is as passionate about her films as she is about her husband and since the first year, she has become an integral part of the Marbella International Film Festival. As Marbella co-ordinator, she liaises with the town hall and helps with the festival organisation. She also organises Oscar nights bi-weekly at the Andalucia Plaza Hotel in Nueva

An opportunity for film-makers….

AC CHAKAVEH, the director and founder of the Marbella International Film Festival (MIFF) talked exclusively to the Euro Weekly News (EWN) about how the festival began nearly a decade ago, the inspiration behind it, the programming for this year and his ambitions for the future. Having run his own very successful business, in 1998, Mac was approached to invest in a TV net-working company. As his involvement in the networks increased, it soon led to annual visits to the Cannes Film Festival, where after a few years he realised there was a need to combine the smaller independent film industry insiders with a film networking venue that was accessible from all over the world. He then recognised, after spending much time on 4 201 S T R O the coast, that Marbella SH had the potential to e f i L g n become the perfect i h Touc y n location to host the a erm duction: G ro p f o event.

This year will once more see the 24-hour challenge, giving brave film-makers only 24 hours to put together a film and send it in to be judged alongside the other categories. However, Mac Chakaveh laughs when he says that there will be a last-minute requirement, which will be in the form of a prop, which must be included within the film, to avoid cheating!

independents and we wanted something like Sundance in America, which had no equivalent in Europe.” He explained that the success of the festival was due to the fact that it was a platform for independent film-makers to show their films to the public and to network with industry insiders. EWN was made privy to the secret that will be divulged on Saturday night, regarding the announcement of the setting up of an Independent Producers Association. This new international group of experienced film-related individuals can meet, network and join together to not only give advice to independent filmmakers but also introduce them to top media law firms and funding institutes. This is virtually impossible for anyone trying to do it without the necessary contacts. They will be present each year in conjunction with the film festival, to support and encourage anyone interested in pursuing a career in the film industry and to promote global independent talent. Discussing the festival events, which started yesterday (Wednesday, October 1) Mac explained that this year there are films from 50 different countries. They include feature films, documentaries, shorts and animations. Entrance will be free to the public, with the chance to win a holiday to London, if they participate in voting for winners in each category.

Lifesaving BENIDORM: Awards mark World Tourism Day.

Benidorm denied tourism award

BENIDORM corporation celebrated World Tourism Day with a call for official classification as a ‘tourist municipality.’ Requests to the central government fell on deaf ears although the resort contributes 1 per cent of Spain’s gross domestic product and 10 per cent of the Valencian Community’s, said Mayor Agustin Navarro. “After decades of fiscal solidarity with the rest of Spain we continue without benefits that other municipalities enjoy,” he told an audience that included senators Encarna Llinares and Agustin Almodobar, councillors and local dignitaries. The occasion was also marked by the presentation of the Ciudad de Benidorm awards. The local category award went to Alicante Airport, which has played such an important part in bringing tourists to Benidorm since it opened in 1967.

BENIDORM Council is to rescind developer Enrique Ortiz’s contract to run the local bus station and put it out to tender again. The chosen bidder must pay Ortiz €27 million for the installation.

Ready for the boom as the number of tourists visiting Spain breaks records TOURISM, powerhouse of the Costa del Sol’s economy, has started to boom again, meaning all those businesses that have worked hard through the recession are in a great position to benefit.

attention to detail,” with Nicki adding: “We are very efficient and quick to respond to clients’ requests. We try not to let anyone down.” Avoiding a one size fits all approach is the key for Ameet Braich of Camino Recovery: “We use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to

each individual client. With a highly experienced, qualified clinical team we treat issues of depression, trauma, anxiety and compulsive behaviour in a professional manner. All work is done under the strictest confidence with an ethos of safety and respect.”

tourism boom can be safely attributed to the recovery of Germany and the UK. The tourism sector plays a crucial role in the slowly recovering Spanish economy and its contribution to all economic activity in the country stands at 11 per cent.

And Estelle Mitchell, of Bodyworks Health Clinic feels expertise and the courage of their convictions can really make a difference. She said: “I think it is because we have complete conviction in what we do and not being afraid to try something different.” Jacinta Hannon of Mind, Body & Spirit said: “For me it is all about being open and positive. I use the law of attraction, being open to receive.” Mark Wood, The Sky Doctor, boiled it down into one phrase: “Dedication, hard work and a stubbornness to succeed.” Jeni Waters, of Casa Blanca homeware store felt knowing what the customer wants was the first step: “We have a wide range of products, our prices are good and people can generally find bits and pieces you might not find anywhere else.” Dan Jones from RDMC Glass thought the secret of their success was being “a family run business that prides itself on quality, reliability and making our customers happy.”

Good news for the economy MORE good news for the local economy. Latest figures show Andalucian industrial output rose 3.4 per cent in July. Production of consumer goods was up 11.4 per cent compared to the same month in 2013, showing an increase in consumer confidence, said the Junta de Andalucia (regional government). An increase in private consumption was also credited for Spain’s gross domestic product remaining robust, said the Economic Research Department of Rabobank in its latest economic update from Tuesday September 23. The volume of Spain’s GDP increased by an additional 0.6 per cent between April and June compared to the first quarter of the year, when it rose by 0.4 per cent. The growth registered in the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to government consumption, whilst the growth in the second quarter was driven by private households and fixed asset investment, said Rabobank. The increase in private consumption, registered for 12 consecutive months, can be traced back to the growth registered in employment and real wages.

Splash - three o’clock clinic DURING the summer months you may have experienced all sorts of problems with your pool which Splash Pools can help you with. A common one is the bottom of your pool turns green and the water looks murky even though the chlorine level is high. This could be caused by a high cyanuric level in the water. Cyanuric acid is an additive in chlorine tablets which prevents the chlorine from being broken down by the sun’s ultra violet rays. The downside is that it builds up in the pool and the chlorine becomes less effective resulting in you needing to use more chlorine to oxidise the urea/algae. One way to lower the cyanuric level is to change quite a lot of your water for fresh water, another

is to use a product which boosts the chlorine which Splash have in stock.

This does not relate to salt water pools as they have to add cyanuric acid in order for the chlorine (made by the salt water chlorinator) to be effective. Splash Pools hold a clinic every afternoon at 3pm when

you can bring a small sample of your pool (freshly taken) and have it analysed. They can then tell you what action to take for your particular pool problem. If you cannot come at 3pm please call them on 952 591

David Dale the name you can trust in for furniture removals DAVID DALE Removals was started in 1976 with one small van and a part time helper. The business grew steadily and in 1978 they bought their first proper removal truck. In 1981 they did their first removal to Spain and it was so successful that others quickly followed. In the 1980’s prospective residents had to go through the customs formalities obtaining Residencias at the Spanish Consulate in either London or Manchester. Moving to Spain involved paying a bond at the Spanish border based on the value of the goods they brought into the country. In 1992 the customs formalities were lifted throughout the EU and moving to and from Spain became a much simpler operation. From 1993 David Dale Removals started their weekly UK-SpainUK service. This takes place 50 weeks of the year, only pausing during Christmas and New year celebrations.

DAVID DALE: Today the company operates 10 vehicles from small transit vans to the largest trucks allowed on EU roads.

In 1995 warehouse premises were acquired in Fuengirola, Malaga Province, and in 2000 a container store was opened in Benissa and later in Almoradi.

Today the company operate 10 vehicles of various sizes from small transit vans to the largest trucks the EU will allow on the roads. Four staff work from the furniture store in Almoradi and the sales office is based in Torrevieja. The company pay a great deal of attention to the quality of service they offer being members of the Office of Fair Trading, British Association of Removers and the Road Haulage Association International Section. Their staff are all trained by the British Association of Removals in handling furniture and delicate objects. The company has recently achieved the much sought after quality standard BSEN 12522.

Genesis of the boom times… NOT that long ago the Costa del Sol was not much more than a collection of small villages strung out along the coast from the big city of Malaga. Time seemed to have passed it by, with most tourism in the area centered round Malaga itself. But that was all to change in dramatic fashion at the end of the 1950’s and the start of the 1960’s when tourism, particularly in Torremolinos took off. That followed the opening of the first luxury hotel, The Pez Espada, which in turn attracted the attentions of the rich and famous. Julio Iglesias, Frank Sinatra and Orson Welles were just some of the famous names to pay a visit. The Costa del Sol became one of the places to be seen in. As people’s disposable incomes grew, and holidays became cheaper with the advent of package holidays, the region’s tourism industry took off in earnest. Everyone wanted to visit a place with guaranteed sunshine where they could let their hair down and perhaps catch a glimpse of some Hollywood stars. That success soon spread from Torremolinos to Benalmadena and Fuengirola, and of course on to Marbella

GROWTH: Benalmadena and Fuengirola expanded.

which was to take on the mantle of the rich man’s playground and is still the driving force behind much of the Costa del Sol’s economy. The genesis of Marbella’s phenomenal success was Alfonso de Hohenlohe who helped establish The Marbella Club.

Offering unparalleled luxury in a balmy climate it soon attracted the jetset with ‘A’ list stars like James Stewart, Rock Hudson, Gina Lollobrigida, Ringo Starr, Onassis and María Callas, the Duke of Windsor, Thyssen, Bismarck and the Kennedys all

rubbing shoulders at the hotel. Then a second boom started with the building of Puerto Banus, designed by Jose Melia. All of a sudden the rich and famous had a new playground, and with them they brought huge amounts of wealth that have benefited not just Marbella, but the whole Costa del Sol. It is thanks to visionaries in the early days, and the efforts of town halls which have built conference centres and finance, tourism and leisure developments that the Costa del Sol became the top tourist destination in Europe. And as infrastructure improved so a second form of tourism emerged residential tourism. There has been a huge increase in second home owners and expatriate residents over the last 30 years, and with them they have brought money. Traditional and residential tourism are the bedrock of the Costa del Sol economy and are at the heart of most local business successes. And that can be put down to the visionary early pioneers of the tourism industry, and the support of the local councils. Thanks to their efforts the Costa del Sol is poised to emerge from the recession in a stronger position than ever before.

A broadcasting success story MIJAS television has continued to grow over the years and it has turned into a success story. Its reputation, viewers and business has grown from strength to strength.

Husband and wife team Marytn and Nessie Wood pulled together the most popular show since 1994 ‘Good morning Costa del Sol’; presenters included Mary Harboe, Tony Catherall and Gillian Hathaway. The name of the show changed in 1998 to ‘News & Views’ with Rosa Roman as the anchor presenter. In October 2007 Karen McMahon came on board joining the team and co presented with Maria.

Coast’s leading physiotherapist STELLE MITCHELL is widely recognised on the Costa del Sol as one of Spain’s leading physiotherapists. Qualifying as a Chartered Physiotherapist in January 1978, having studied and trained with the RAF, Estelle has spent the last 10 years putting her wide and extensive experience to full use at the Bodyworks Health Clinic. During a time when many expats are heading back to their native land Bodyworks Clinic has continued. So what makes Bodyworks Clinic so special? Estelle laughs and shrugs: “I’m not sure I know the right answer to that question! I hope it’s my expertise! I have invested heavily both in money and training to have treatment options that work. That’s probably the biggest factor - my patients get better.” So what’s the first step to getting better? “A proper diagnosis. Understanding the real problem that’s causing pain and not just treating the symptoms. I was trained before we could rely so heavily on MRIs and other pictures, so we had to accurately diagnose the issue through detailed assessments of the person standing in front of us. For me, getting the diagnosis right means you are 80 per cent there. “You have to really understand what is going on within the body to treat it effectively. In my opinion too many doctors rely on MRIs to diagnose and don’t properly assess the patient, so they only get half the story.” I have to comment on the fact that while everyone respects Estelle she is notoriously controversial, her treatment plans often differ significantly from those prescribed by GPs and surgeons. “For me, this is the downside to not working in the UK, where physiotherapy is a highly qualified profession. Here physiotherapists aren’t usually trained to the same high standard, they aren’t permitted to make their own diagnosis, the doctor tells them how to treat and how often! The methods I use have proven, clinical results, they are new, but accepted in the UK. However here

in Spain they can appear very controversial!” I ask her to tell me more about these controversial new treatments. “In my opinion, surgery should always be the last resort. I find it frustrating that someone has seen a ‘specialist’ without realising that their specialism is surgery and they have been given a surgical opinion.” This passion for non-surgical options and obsession with educating herself on the latest techniques led Estelle to her unusual, but highly effective, Magnetic Resonance Therapy. A derivative of the technology used in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans,this therapy actually helps to regenerate ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bone. It dramatically reduces pain and inflammation in each and every joint in the body including those in the spine, whether it’s caused by long term arthritis or recent injury. It is a ‘big gun’ in Estelle’s arsenal against the surgery, cartilage rotting cortisone injections and heavy duty anti-inflammatories offered by many doctors. The statistics are impressive, “When we looked at MRT the clinical trials were showing a 75 per cent success rate, when you compare this to the 3 per cent success rate for arthroscopies (surgery for minor arthritis) this is amazing. Because I combine this with other treatments to support it, my results are more like 90 per cent success.” Estelle is rightly proud of the growing book of testimonials she has from happy patients. So does she rely on technology for these results? “Oh, I’m probably quite old fashioned in some ways, while the technology is fantastic I view it as a tool to make my hands-on work more effective. There is no substitute for years of training and experience.” Ten years is quite an achievement on the Costa del Sol. I wondered what Estelle had in mind for the next 10 years? “I wish I had the answer to that question too! I love being a physiotherapist and have had the chance to work with so many amazing people, both my wonderful patients here in Spain and my colleagues in the UK. There is still so much I want to learn. Having Bodyworks has given me the freedom to expand my knowledge and expertise so I’m getting the results my patients want. That’s amazingly satisfying. What’s next? Whatever helps get even better results!” Estelle Mitchell. English Chartered Physiotherapist. MCSP, SRP, HPC, OCPPP. Grad Dip Phys. Col No 2070.

A combination of Nordic design and American ambience.

Less is a whole lot more on a visit to Loft & Roomers

combine chic, IF we Nordic design and

functional American minimalistic ambience, the result is Loft & Roomers. Costa del Sol homes can now enjoy the magic combination that is simplicity with a suburban, elegant and cosy twist. Costa del Sol style-hunters have a dream-like store for all their interior design and garden requirements. Located on Marbella’s Golden Mile and in Mijas Costa, Loft & Roomers customers can now browse through the beautifully designed furniture and interior ranges in the store or online. Kenth Boutrup, one of the owners of Loft & Roomers, told us about this success story: “My family and I have been coming to Marbella on holidays for at least 20 years and have always loved the place. We owned a successful business-to-business furniture store in Denmark and always thought that there was a niche in the market for good-quality, affordable furniture. Somewhere in between the cheaper DIY stores and the more expensive brands. Or as we like to put it, ‘Nordic living for less’.” It was the experience and expertise of the Dahl-Jepsen family in Denmark that made them finally go ahead and in 2012, in a record three-month timescale, Loft & Roomers opened in the highly sought-after area of Marbella’s Golden Mile with four members of the family currently working together. “Our confidence and enthusiasm for the business comes from the fact that we know what we are dealing with, which is good-quality furniture at reasonable prices, paired with a good service,” said Kenth. When asked about the customer care that they provide, Kenth said: “Our staff is mostly Scandinavian, but we all speak English and Spanish - it is a requirement to

coming in. The stores are open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 9pm. In order to keep up with the latest trends, or for more information, please call 952 772 139 for the Marbella store or 952 665 938 in the Mijas Costa showroom or email marbella@loftroomers.com or mijas@loftroomers.com.

work here. We don’t have a specific Customer Care department, but we are happy to assist clients with any questions or queries after a sale. However, we only see clients coming back because they are so satisfied that they want to buy more!” Loft & Roomers has an extensive selection of interior and garden lines. “We only select lines that are exciting and inspiring and are proud to offer our clients the latest trends,” added Kenth. Interior lines are designed for livingrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and even home offices. They include tables and chairs, beds, mattresses, linen and pillows, and an extensive selection of decoration items in the classiest of styles. Garden furniture ranges including tables, chairs, parasols, sun beds, plants and ornaments, are created to fit perfectly in gardens full of light as well as smaller outdoor areas, such as apartment balconies. But one of the most successful offers at Loft & Roomers is their set of packages, which makes it a (very classy) one-stopshop for clients. Kenth explained: “We

have created packages designed to make property owners lives easier after they acquire a property here. For example, a kitchen set for eight people for €1,000 includes a kettle, a toaster, an ironing board, cutlery and crockery and cookware etc… always with customers’ needs in mind.” In addition to that, 90 per cent of their ranges are in stock at any given time. This means that clients of Loft & Roomers are able to enjoy their new furniture within 24 hours of their purchase. Delivery is free in a 100km radius, if spending more than €500 and their helpful staff will assemble any pieces that need it at no extra cost. “We even clean and clear everything afterward,” Kenth said. “Our objective is to create the perfect room for our clients to move in straightaway.” Last but not least, their newsletter and also a Facebook page is regularly updated for clients interested in the new lines

Euro Weekly News …

the 200-page record-breaker THE Euro Weekly News (EWN) team has pulled out all the stops to bring out the biggest issue of any free English-language newspaper in Spain, if not Europe - 200 pages for the Costa del Sol edition. That smashes our previous record. Biggest issue up until now was a still impressive 176 pages. But that is just part of the story, we don’t just print one newspaper, we produce six, covering the Costas and Mallorca. That means that the EWN team puts in a huge amount of time and effort to produce, this week, a staggering 576 pages of news and features. Enough? Not for us. We also produce Spain’s brightest English-language news website, packed full of local, national, British and international news. Not to

Cooking up the memories at Casino Marbella Restaurant THERE is a place in Marbella where you can become a double winner. The restaurant at Casino Marbella, in Puerto Banus, is a real pot of gold when it comes to the delightful dishes designed by its creative chef. Ajo blanco with shrimp sashimi and passion fruit, or strawberry salmorejo (like a thick gazpacho - but even more delicious) with anchovies are some of the proposals from Casino Marbella’s restaurant summer menu to tempt us. It’s the combination of simple cooking albeit with modern tendencies which converts a truffled egg with asparagus and cured ham shavings into something really delicious. This dish is another important bet on the menu, ready to captivate the most ambitious of palates. But, no doubt at all, the trump card is the tender lamb shoulder with sobrasada and honey sauce, DELIGHTFUL DISHES: The Casino Marbella is a real pot of gold.

THERE is a place in Marbella where you can become a double winner. The restaurant at Casino Marbella, in Puerto Banus, is a real pot of gold when it comes to the delightful dishes designed by its creative chef. accompanied by cold pickled aubergine. More than 24 hours cooking of the meat makes it dissolve in the mouth with an impossible explosion of tastes. There is a reason why the menu

changes at the start of every season: exquisite prime ingredients that are carefully selected by Agustin Roman, Chef in Charge. Seasonal ingredients are the base for a style of cooking which highlights quality and the most essential flavours in Mediterranean gastronomy. But dinner is not yet over. Strawberry garden with chocolate earth, the Chef’s specialty, is a sure-fire winner. And if that wasn’t enough, there is an extensive wine and cava cellar. A team of professionals

headed by Maitre Gerard Vall-Llaura will always recommend the best combination between dishes and wines. Such a perfect mixture of cooking and service turns the Casino restaurant into a unique space to give pleasure to the most discerning palate. Moreover, there’s a tasting menu, special menus for celebrations and menus for groups. The place, smart and exquisite, constantly hosts a painting or photography exhibition. Opening hours are another advantage with the kitchen working until 2.30am extending such a great experience to 4am.

Hermosa Bistro: a restaurant fit for the stars in Hollywood style ITS name, beautiful in old Spanish, is a pretty picture of summer nights dining under the stars and cosy winter evenings by candlelight. Alex and Melissa Nicholl from London opened Hermosa Bistro in 2007 and brought with them the style of glamorous Hollywood with a casual Californian decor. “Alex was a barrister in London and moved to LA to work in TV and production. During his years in California, and with his passion for food, he soaked up those flavours from the crossroads of cultures that is California, such as Asian and Mexican, to then replicate them here with fresh Spanish ingredients, ” said Melissa, restaurant owner. With a menu that changes with each season, and picture-perfect dishes,

HERMOSA BISTRO: Serving exceptional quality food in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Hermosa has many regulars and rave reviews on popular restaurant websites. “We do exceptional food served in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. What is more, the quality of our food and the service are consistent,” Melissa explained. “We like to think that we take our food very seriously but not ourselves!” Indonesian spiced salmon cakes, the award-winning baked Andalucian goat cheese, or Hermosa Beach microburgers are some of their awesome starters. Clients can then choose a main from the ‘turf’ (meat) or ‘surf’ (fish) choice, with the star dish being the prime Irish fillet steak with oyster mushrooms, asparagus, roasted garlic mash and their signature green-peppercorn and sun-

dried tomato sauce. And for a good ending, why not taste the key-lime pie, a mojito jelly and fruit compote or the Hermosa Beach Coronel, a Cassis sorbet and berry vodka. With food like this, it is no surprise that Hermosa has a spin-off catering service for clients who enjoy their food so much, they want to bring it home for a special occasion. When asked about the new season, Melissa said: “The autumn menu will have hearty, warmer dishes. In fact, we are introducing our Sunday lunch again, with a Hermosa twist.” Hermosa Bistro is open Tuesday to Sunday from 6.30pm to 10.30pm.

Learn to smile again with The Dentists at Sotogrande QUALIFIED in his native Sweden in 1991, Dr Friman spent the first part of his career in Stockholm and in Abu-Dhabi. In 2005, he decided to return to Europe. However the climate and a network of friends made him come to the south of Spain. The Dentists will soon be celebrating their 10th anniversary at Sotogrande, helping patients not only from that area, but also along the Costa del Sol, inland, and beyond. “At the Dentists, we have patients from all ages, all cultural backgrounds and languages,” Dr

THE DENTISTS at Sotogrande is a state-of-the-art Swedish dentistry and cosmetic dentistry practice headed by Dr Anders Friman offering classic dentistry with an aesthetic approach.

DR FRIMAN: His job is incredibly rewarding.

Friman said “but with the team speaking Spanish and English, and myself fluent in Swedish and German as well, language is not a problem.” Dr Friman is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and it is through this organisation he keeps up-to-date and exchanges ideas with other fellow dentists, with two concepts in mind: function and cosmetic. A cosmetic dentistry specialist himself, Dr Friman offers all clients an initial assessment including an examination of teeth, tissue, bite and supportive structure alignment, before he discusses the best line of treatment with his team of specialists. The experienced staff includes an oral surgeon, an orthodontist and an esthetician, working

together “because I believe in interdisciplinary dentistry for better-quality results,” explained Dr Friman. When asked about his equipment, Dr Friman said: “We are proud to be able to use the latest equipment available, such as a digital laboratory, to provide a comprehensive service in both dental health and dental beauty.” But technology goes hand-inhand with skills. “We have the latest technology because we constantly update ourselves.” Dr Friman says his job is incredibly rewarding: “It gives me great satisfaction when patients who had a great deal of pain say they don’t suffer any more or when patients who were too embarrassed to smile do it again after treatment.” Tel: 956 795 273 or e-mail info@dentistsotogrande.com www.dentistsotogrande.com

No strangers to success The Euro Weekly News is proud to be a part of the Costa del Success Six newspapers and a vibrant website packed full of stories and features are the cornerstone of the Euro Weekly News’s (EWN) success. From small beginnings the EWN Media Group has just kept on growing through thick and thin to become the biggest and best English-language news media group in Spain, if not Europe. Steven and Michel Euesden first exploded on to the Costas more than 19 years ago and a lot has happened in that time. The dynamic husband and wife team have, backed by their dedicated staff, driven the EWN group on through thick and thin. But, despite their success, they are not content to sit back on their laurels. Through the long recession investment has been the watchword. Not just investment in staff and in technology, but, most importantly, investment in time - the time to go the extra mile for clients and readers alike. All members of the EWN team are fiercely committed, not just to the newspapers and website, but to the people that really matter - our clients and readers. And that ethos has reaped its own reward. No other free English newspaper group in Spain or Europe can match the figures that the EWN can boast of. They are figures that speak for themselves: • Six editions: Costa Blanca North, Costa Blanca South, Costa del Sol, Axarquia, Almeria and Mallorca. • Each edition beats hands down other local publications for number of news stories. • 134,000 copies distributed every week, 52 weeks a year. • More than 4,000 distribution points in expatriate hotspots, meaning you never have too far to go to pick up an issue. • Seven offices across the Costas and Mallorca mean we are at the heart of the

Our readers by numbers… Disposable income. 43% of our readers eat out at least once each week and 31% dine out once per month, meaning they have enough money for life’s little luxuries.

Internet savvy: 75% of readers are regular internet users. The EWN website and social media sites cater fully to that audience with a selection of Spanish, British and international stories. Our virtual papers are visited by 50,000 people each month.

Easy to find: 92% of EWN readers say that the newspapers can be found easily from 4,000 distribution points. Loyal readership: 86% of customers read the paper on a weekly basis. News hungry: 98% of our readers say they enjoy the local news pages. Second favourite section was the Letters page at 83%.

expatriate community. • Digital media platforms becoming ever more popular by the day. • The newest, brightest business directory in Spain EWNGETSIT.COM The extensive coverage throughout the main expatriate areas of Spain means that the EWN attracts a mix of readers with an extensive range of interests. Recently the EWN undertook market research to find out more about our readers, (see panel). That was not just an exercise in curiosity. It shows the ethos that has made the EWN so successful through more than one recession. It shows the virtues of attention to detail, determination to leave no stone unturned to make the product we provide the best it can possibly be. After all, if we don’t know who our readers are, how can we give them what they want? Using that research we have come up with a tremendous product that people want to read. And that is good to know for our advertisers, who can rest assured their adverts will get maximum exposure, either in their local area, or across Spain. We know what it takes to be a success: hard work, dedication to clients and readers, and knowing the market. But we are more than that. By sponsoring major charity events as well as taking up the causes of several desperately ill children, we are proud to be firmly at the heart of the community. We care deeply about the expatriate community in Spain and that makes all the difference. As essential as the Euro is to the population so is the Euro Weekly News to the community. We are a national institution for English-speaking people wishing to integrate into the Spanish way of life. We lead, others follow.

Danelca is the answer to watch all those UK TV channels again Christian B. Andersen, Managing Director of Danelca, said: “We offer the UK channels that people would have lost due to the satellite change.” When asked about the service, Christian B. Andersen explained: “One of the advantages of the service is that all the programmes are recorded, so clients enjoy their own personal PVR with all the shows automatically stored for them to watch at their leisure, rather than having to remember to record them. On the other hand, the quality isn’t as good as satellite TV due to the fact that it comes from the Internet, but anyone who tries it, will be very impressed with the picture quality.” Talking about their experience, Christian B. Andersen, said: “We have been selling IPTV since 2011 as our Scandinavian clients have never been able to receive channels in Malaga via satellite. We are well established in this field.”

DANELCA is a TV provider that specialises in offering a wide range of UK and Scandinavian TV channels for their clients based not only in Spain but anywhere in Europe. The service runs over the Internet, hence it being called IPTV.

TV BOXES: A number of promotions are currently available.

In addition to that, Danelca offers its clients great back-up and support through their dedicated Customer Support team answering calls and e-mails. “People can come to our office to check the systems that we have available under no obligation,” he said. Danelca covers all of Europe. Since their TV boxes are ‘plug and play,’ they can be sent via courier. In the unlikely event that customers experience difficulties connecting the box, support is available by phone or e-mail. A number of promotions are currently available at Danelca. On both the box-TV and WorldNet, clients can have the box for free when paying 12 months in advance, saving around €150. Danelca is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm with support calls answered until 4pm and support e-mails answered until 10pm and at weekends.

THE business owner’s skills are far different from those working on the shop floor. Car dealership owners likely have difficulty changing a spark plug. Often a restaurateur is hopeless in the kitchen whilst famous name authors are useless at writing. Football fans agree that many team managers are incapable of physically playing football. Home improvement companies employ salesmen who haven’t the foggiest idea what a Phillips screwdriver is. Where the successful business owner does succeed is in successful team management. I have done both. As a salesman I was consistently the top performer, at team management I was an also ran. Those who cannot recruit, select, train, inspire, lead and manage a team will never run a successful business. Business owners whose attitude is, ‘if you want a job doing properly do it yourself,’ can never compete against a rival’s well-managed team. I fall into this category. I used my wife to hire

and fire. Such is the difference between shop floor and sales that occasionally it is necessary to cross no-man’s land. I recall being interviewed by a pathway and patio installation marketing company. Salesmen were advised to visit clients wearing cords and body warmers rather than suits. This was to create the illusion that they were familiar with managing the task. Instead of focusing on running your business turn your attention to effectively managing your staff. Each has a task; encourage, empathise and reward them. Delegate and use the strengths of each individual where they are likely to be most effective. A people person is best with clients; great at the counter, reception or in sales. Those lacking personality best put them out of sight. If a family or staff member is creative then let them help with marketing. Successful business management means putting round pegs in round holes, square pegs in square holes.

Luxury cruise travel - talk to the professionals THE cruise business has been the biggest sector of the travel industry for many years now, and continues to grow at a rapid pace. Cruise Connections Ltd, established in 1987 and based in Gibraltar, is the only company in southern Spain and Portugal that specialises in cruise holidays - and only cruise holidays. They focus only on the highest quality, ultra luxury cruise lines.

The world’s ultraluxury & luxury cruise lines: Silversea Cruises, Seabourn Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Paul Gauguin Cruises, Sea Dream Yacht Club, Azamara Cruise Club, Oceania Cruises & UniWorld River Cruising. These companies are all represented by Cruise Connections.

A reputation built on excellence of service “I am very proud of the reputation we have established,

CRUISE HOLIDAYS: Our staff have the knowledge and experience for quality advice. which to a great extent has been built on our exceptional level of personal service, attention to detail and knowledge of our industry,” commented Peter Conway-Hann of Cruise Connections. “We have a very large client base here in Spain and Portugal, and with the internet we now have clients dealing with us from all over the world. “Our clients are highly discerning and experienced travellers, and expect nothing but the very best in unbiased and up to date information, service and quality of product - from the selling agent as well as the cruise line. “With 25 years experience in the cruise industry, we have the in-depth knowledge the discerning traveller needs to fulfil their expectations.”

Professional advice is essential “We are acutely aware that many prospective cruise clients, and experienced cruisers, are not given the correct advice by general travel agencies when requesting detailed information on the companies in this sector of the cruise market. The average travel agency will find it hard to give detailed advice to clients, as they are unable to employ a specially dedicated person solely responsible for dealing with cruise enquiries, as it is economically unfeasible. However, all Cruise Connections staff have the required knowledge and experience to give all our clients quality advice.”

In addition to that, the village makes a perfect base for all sorts of glamorous activities, whether it is shopping in Puerto Banus, fine-dining in Marbella, playing golf in any of the exclusive resorts nearby or relaxing in the many luxury hotels scattered all over the region. “Everything is on your doorstep,” said Scott, a Benahavis man himself, who was born and bred in the village after his parents moved from the UK more than 50 years ago, paving the way for the expat community. The village has been developed in recent years and is considered a gastronomic heaven. There are more than 25 restaurants and tapas bars in a village of 2,500 inhabitants. Benahavis itself is by repute the richest per capita village in Europe. Some of the luxury urbanisations that can be found in Benahavis are La Zagaleta, Los Arqueros, La Alqueria, La Quinta and Benahavis Hills, a paradise for golf-lovers. “It’s a real gem of a place. People make you feel very welcome,” added Scott. Such charms have not gone unnoticed for PropertieSpain, the Real Estate specialists in Benahavis and the whole municipality. With an office in the centre of the town, they provide a unique service based on local knowledge and experience. Scott said: “I worked in an English estate agent for nine years before the recession hit Spain. However, my experience and the many contacts I have, made me believe in the idea of starting my own agency.

SITUATED between Marbella and Estepona, Benahavis is a quaint little village only four miles from the coast and 500 feet up in an enchanting pine and eucalyptus valley that enjoys the good weather and some of the best views of the Costa del Sol.

M. DOMENECH: A car dealer that specialises in the luxury sector, including such makes as Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen and Porsche.

For luxury, second-hand cars M. Domenech is a name you can trust M. DOMENECH in Benahavis is a car dealer that specialises in the luxury sector. They are happy to assist clients at their spacious 11,000ft² showroom strategically located just off Guadalmina in Marbella, where their fleet of cars are on display for clients from the whole Costa del Sol area and beyond. Owner Miguel Domenech is proud to explain how the business started: “We started selling good-quality secondhand cars at the upper end of the market in the city of Seville more than 20 years ago as wholesalers, and we still do. Every year, we would attend the International Seville Motor Show, and quickly realised that there was a market for luxury cars in the region.” With this idea in mind, M. Domenech opened their premises on the Costa del Sol three years ago. “In 2011 we started operating from our showroom near Marbella, where we assist customers from all over Europe in person, by telephone or by email,” Miguel explained. The market was strong from day one, even at the height of the recession in Spain. Their clients’ nationalities are mainly British, Scandinavian and northern European. It is their dedicated and bilingual (in English and Spanish) sales team that makes it possible to help clients from many backgrounds on a daily basis. Working with an ample selection of brands, M. Domenech has vehicles on offer from the top German luxury

makes such as Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen and Porsche as well as many other makes like Range Rover. At M. Domenech all cars pass a thorough inspection by their team of mechanics in order to give the client the best good-quality cars available in perfect working order. “At the top of our checklist is mileage verification for all the cars that we acquire. We only put a car for sale once all the paperwork is in place and we are assured that the vehicle is clear from accidents or pending litigation,” said Miguel. When asked about the best way to search for a vehicle, he said: “The Internet can be a great ally when searching for a car that meets customers’ requirements. Our website is constantly updated so customers have a real idea of the vehicles we have on stock at any given time. We have an average of 50 second-hand cars on offer every week, although clients need to be aware that we have a high turnover too.”

There is a reason why their clients keep coming back after they buy a car at M. Domenech. Their team stands out from the crowd with their honest, personalised approach. “Customers appreciate the fact that we offer a comprehensive service. It isn’t just pre-sale support but it is a whole range of post-sale extras too. To begin with, we offer a one-year guarantee on all our cars that customers can extend up to three years if they wish. This means that if the car needs to be repaired, we provide a courtesy car immediately and get their own repaired by our mechanics. We do not rely on other companies with post-sales queries, which means that we can provide a service that cannot be matched,” said Miguel. Customers who would like to trade in their old vehicle as part of the payment for their new car can do so at

M. Domenech. Their experienced team will test it and offer the best price. If accepted, they will take care of all the necessary paperwork on behalf of their client. As regards sales, M. Domenech offers a professional, fast service: “We fully understand our clients’ needs and are committed to delivering our cars in a speedy manner on the day that the documentation is completed. Our assistance is at hand should the client need us at any stage of the process. In addition to that, we can also offer finance. At present, customers can benefit from an 8 per cent interest rate finance through Santander if they wish.”

way here on the Coast. The objective of many businesses is not neces-

Even doing the same job or putting in the same hours, if not more, is more fun in the sun.

A €500 million golfing boost TRADITIONALLY golf tourism has been hugely important to the Costa del Sol in keeping cash flowing during the ‘off’ season. After several years of stagnation it looks like the good times are back with latest figures showing golfers spent €500 million in the region. Few would dispute that the golf tourism industry is a crucial driver of economic growth in the Costa del Sol. It has been over the last 30 years hugely successful, but the sector was hit by the economic downturn. But following two relatively poor years, the sector is back on course, said the Tourism and Trade councillor of the Junta de Andalucia Rafael Rodriguez. Thanks to its 108 golf courses, 48 per cent of which are in Malaga Province, the Costa del Sol is still a major and

Thanks but no thanks RYANAIR will not be entering Enaire or buying shares in airports company Aena SA. Enaire is the 100 per cent government owned company that has Aena as a subsidiary. The Spanish government is part-privatising the subsidiary by making 49 per cent available to the public. Last June the Irish-owned airline, turned down in the past by Ferrovial for a share in London-Gatwick, revealed it was

“seriously interested.” It was considering either the 21 per cent to be split among at least three majority shareholders or the 28 per cent offered to private investors. At the beginning of September the company’s marketing director Kenny Jacobs claimed they were still interested. A decision would be reached over the coming weeks following talks between Ryanair’s president Michael O’Leary and

Catalan banks ready to move CATALONIA’S two biggest banks would, if necessary, move their head offices from the region. The intentions of CaixaBank and Banco Sabadell in the event of regional independence from Spain were revealed in a report by the Swiss investment Bank, UBS. It corroborated sources close to both banks which also claimed that they have already informed international investors of their intentions. Secession seems ‘a distant prospect’ for Catalonia, wrote UBS’s chief strategist Justin Knight in the run-up to Scotland’s independence referendum on September 18. The two banks have already taken appropriate

steps to be able to relocate their headquarters “to minimise potential impact on access to potential funding sources,” UBS continued. As revealed by the national daily El Mundo last July, CaixaBank’s subsidiary Microbank has headquarters in Madrid and a Bank of Spain permit to operate. CaixaBank would only need to transfer its assets to Microbank to remain in the Eurozone. Sabadell’s new statutes do not require its head office to remain in Barcelona. ‘All scenarios’ have been anticipated to defend interests of clients and shareholders, including a change of headquarters, Sabadell board announced.

Eurozone stall slows progress THE Eurozone’s stalled GDP during the second quarter of this year is influencing Spain’s economic recovery. With internal demand and credit at a minimum, this has had an effect on Spanish exports, declared Spain’s minister of the Economy Luis de Guindos. “What happens in Europe affects us,” he said. “It has an impact not

only on commercial transactions but also on expectations,” the minister added. The Eurozone stimulus measures - 0.05 per cent interest and cash injections - had the minister’s backing, but De Guindos also urged structural reforms throughout the Eurozone, drawing attention to the impact of the euro’s depreciation on Spain.

name from the list of candidates one day before the deadline.

Spotlight is now off Scotland referendum and the pound rallies in the aftermath

HE main downside risk for Sterling recently was the uncertainty of the Scottish referendum. The ‘No vote’ on September 18 removed the huge political and economic uncertainty of the 307-year-old union. The news was greeted with euphoria by the markets as the pound rallied in the aftermath. Investors are now weighing the long term ramifications of the event. Although the Kingdom has remained united, some investors fear that the fissures opened up by the Scottish referendum may take a long time to heal, and the debate over devolution within the UK is now an open question. In the meantime, growth in the UK has slowed from its peak in the first half of 2014 and the Bank of England might not be too keen to raise interest rates as early as the market wants. The famous promise in the summer of 2012 by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi to do “whatever it

takes” to save the single currency has effectively managed to avert a break up but hasn’t resolved the crisis. Since that summer, the economic situation in Europe has failed to improve and although the Eurozone emerged from recession last year, growth has ranged from lacklustre to fragile. Eurozone growth up to June remained flat and worse still, the 18-member bloc’s output is still 2.7 per cent below its peak. Compared to the US and the UK, where output has rebounded and is now higher than at the start of the crisis in 2008.

EUROZONE: Low inflation has been a major concern. News out of the Eurozone keeps disappointing and with high unemployment, weak growth and falling prices, risks of a Japanesestyle lost decade are reigniting fears of a new crisis. Low inflation has been a major concern for the European Central Bank. Low prices can initially appeal as a short-term financial benefit to

shoppers but are poisonous for countries with high debt burdens. Once deflation takes hold, consumers tend to delay purchases as they expect prices to fall even further.

wrong as prices continue falling month after month. It’s now clear that the easing of market panic after Draghi’s 2012 promise induced too much complacency. The risks are now so serious the ECB has no other choice than to act on interest rates as they preannounced at September’s meeting. By cutting interest and announcing ABS purchases, the central bank sent a very strong message to the market. Interest rates were cut to fresh record lows, and Draghi’s Central European Bank will also try to boost credit conditions further by purchasing asset-backed securities and covered bonds. Over the next three years the market will be flooded with around €500 billion. This wall of money heading towards the financial market caught investors by surprise. And while some detractors say it’s too late, this amount of stimulus from the European Central Bank will certainly be welcome.

Savings without feeling the pinch Loose change A look at finance for females

Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

OULDN’T it be great to be able to save money? The majority of people would love the idea of putting away a few quid every week and seeing their savings build up over time. A bulky savings account can get a person out of all sorts of financial problems; because no matter how hard we try to budget and stick to that budget, unforeseen costs always pop up. The car breaks down, an uninsured mobile phone is stolen, a fine arrives at the doorstep from traffic control or suddenly the bathroom toilet decides to go on the

PACKED LUNCH: Preparing food at home is much more economical. blink and it’s essential to replace it! A recent survey from the UK reveals that 42 per cent of people save out of necessity, but very few feel they have the ability to save for a rainy day. Making ends meet is hard enough, without trying to put extra cash away for unforeseen costs.

There are, however, little ways to start saving without feeling too economically pressured. By simply changing small day-to-day habits, it’s possible to start building up that illusive savings account. Some of the top money savings tips revealed in the British report are easy to

implement. Using vouchers, coupons and money-off apps are considered the most popular way to make savings, with 50 per cent of people saying they regularly use them to get money off their purchases. Next on the list is taking a packed lunch to work. This is definitely a big

money saver. Preparing food at home is much more economical and healthy. And it allows you to put the money you’ve saved on dining out straight into your savings account. A simple piggy bank may not look like much on the kitchen counter top, but by adding your loose change every day - you’ll be surprised how it adds up. If a gourmet palate is leaving you strapped for cash each month then I’m afraid it’s time to downgrade to a cheaper supermarket. And while on the subject of food, never go shopping on an empty stomach. It’s hazardous for your wallet. Finally, leave the car at home and walk or use public transport. And cut up those credit cards. If you don’t have the money in cash, then you can’t buy it! Simple.

OPINION & COMMENT

Tunnel vision of doctors can hurt the ill I DO not know all the facts but I think that Frank McDonnell MD (whatever that stands for) is jumping to conclusions when he assumes that Ashya King’s parents probably removed him from hospital to avoid blood transfusions and opted for “alternative” (his quotation marks, not mine) treatment. Firstly, although I did read just once that Mr and Mrs King were Jehovah’s Witnesses, nowhere was it ever suggested that they used their religious beliefs to deny their son treatment. In fact even the hospital made it clear that there had been no objection to treatment on these grounds. Secondly, proton beam treatment is not ‘alternative’ but another form of cancer therapy not available on the NHS or in the UK. It is more likely the doctor in question was convinced of the accuracy of his own diagnosis and worried that another hospital might prove him wrong. Many years ago my then 13year-old son was very ill in Northwick Park Hospital in London. The paediatric gastroenterologist there was so convinced my son was coeliac that he performed an endoscopy without any sedative - three times, because he couldn’t get the test results he expected. When we wrapped our frail son in a blanket and took him out of that hospital we were told not to bring him back and all his medical notes were ‘lost.’ At St Bartholomew’s Hospital he was correctly diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and was soon into remission. Doctors do not always know best. Sonia Kleyman, Javea (Alicante)

Hasty actions DID Ashya King’s parents really have a well thought-out and careful plan? I - like many others, I expect - think not. We all know one cannot sell a property overnight in England let alone in Spain, so how long did they intend to keep the child without medical treatment? And

why did they have to come to Spain? They have family here so why did they not ask them to sell the house? I understand they allegedly told a reporter they wanted to obtain as much publicity as they could get? Is that protecting a very sick boy? Or did they see pound signs when the news broke? I can tell you right now that I hope the boy survives and my heart goes out to him. I do know what it is like to move heaven and earth for a terminally-ill child. My sister had a beautiful little girl who went to America with the help of the NHS for treatment. However, the treatment did not work and seven months and two weeks before her 10th birthday she gave up the fight, so I do know how it feels to have a very sick child.

Firstly there is no such thing as a ‘strict JW’ as all Jehovah’s Witnesses are united in their rejection of blood transfusions. Secondly blood transfusions were never an issue as regards the treatment! Ashya was under hospital treatment but he was not removed to avoid blood transfusion but to obtain alternative treatment, one denied by the UK. Thirdly being made a ward of court is a rare event in the UK in these circumstances. Legislation continues to be interpreted in different ways so there needs to be a consideration of many factors for a more holistic approach.

Fourthly, to state that treatment in the UK is the only hope for the child is completely ridiculous and assumes there is no other sophisticated treatment available that respects the wishes of the parents. Why Frank McDonnell thinks that the wishes of the state should over-ride the wishes of the parent in any event is not stated. Subsequent developments have shown that in fact the U.K authorities were heavy-handed and it is simply not correct to imply the parents were in any way negligent. G C Hall (by email)

Lessons learned I WOULD like to respond to Alan’s letter about learning Spanish.

I WOULD love to know why over the last two months, the benchmark cost of oil has fallen from approximately $110 to $96 - a drop of around 12 per cent, whereas the euro has weakened from about $1.38 to roughly $1.30, a drop of 6 per cent. Pump prices in Spain should have dropped by 5 per cent at least but they haven’t changed at all. I have always found Spanish pump prices to change quickly. Are we again being ripped off, either by government or petrol companies, or is there a sensible answer? I can’t be the only one to ask since the discrepancy should be obvious to anyone. Tony McKenna, Altea (Alicante)

Equal praise WE have just returned from a 14week stay in our home in England and a friend had kept the Your Say page where Lily Lucy wrote about my original letter praising the Spanish health service. We share our time between Spain and the UK and are in a position to make comparisons between the two. Not that I intended any criticism whatsoever to the UK National Health Service. I think it is superb although due to the enormous pressure that A & E departments are under owing to lack of staff, waiting times tend to be quite extended for nonemergency patients. The remarkable attention I received here justified my letter of praise, I thought. If I have inadvertently offended Lily, I apologise Desiree Bishop (by email)

OPINION & COMMENT

Uncaring doctor is a disgrace

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

HY is it that almost every time there is a scandal concerning UK doctors, the offending practitioner has an almost unpronounceable name? This latest incident where a local GP refused to treat an elderly lady who fell down just outside his practice is no exception. Christopher Uwagboe failed to attend to the poor 88-yearold woman because - wait for it - he was ‘not first aid trained’. Did you ever hear such pure unadulterated poppycock in your whole life? How can a doctor, who presumably goes through years of medical education, not be familiar with a procedure practised by the Boy Scouts? Did he somehow do a Miliband and miss a bit? Well, whatever the reason, his decision to remain ensconced in his surgery, hiding behind what also

appeared to be an extremely rude and equally uncaring receptionist, is a disgrace. Let us just hope that his patients are so disgusted they give his surgery a wide berth in the future and hit this incompetent right where it hurts, in his no doubt, well stuffed pockets. Did anyone stay awake all the way through Ed Miliband’s diatribe at the Labour Party Conference? What an intelligence-insulting load of bull. How anyone in their right mind could want to elect the likes of him and Balls is quite beyond me. These people are the same individuals who left the country bankrupt. One even left a note for his successor informing him that there was no money left to work with! One thing that did strike me during his ill-fated oration was the amount of times he used the word ‘friends’. Substitute ‘comrades’ for the word and I

Time to strike the right balanceâ&#x20AC;Ś WHAT do you need this month? As the sun is now influenced by the sign of Libra, which is symbolised by the scales, now is the time to balance your needs with the needs of others. It is easy to lose track of what is important to you, and now is the time to consider what you most need to give to yourself each day. You may consider putting yourself first a little selfish, but in fact this is the most selfless act you can achieve. For when you consider first what you need, and how you can support yourself, you are then more available to give others what they need. Libra is an air sign, which means that you may want to communicate more honestly about what you need to those close to you. This is an important part of meeting your own needs, as unmet needs within a relationship can be the greatest cause of dissatisfaction. When you expect something from another, but do not communicate this need, you may feel let down. The best way to remedy this is to state your needs as much as you can, so that your relationships become more transparent. Trust will therefore be built more easily. You know when someone is holding back from speaking honestly to you, so allow yourself to create stronger foundations in all your relationships by

BALANCING ACT: The sign of Libra is symbolised by the scales. speaking from your heart. On October 7, the full moon will move into the fiery sign of Aries. This is the first astrological sign of the zodiac and is encouraging you further to put your needs first, create more awareness of yourself, and improve your self confidence. The new moon in Scorpio on October 23 will help you further to recognise your own truth. For most of October, Mercury, the planet of communication, is retrograde (moving backwards) which will give you the chance to re-evaluate projects, ideas

and situations so that you may move forward at the end of the month with the best plan of action for you. The 10th card in the Major Arcana Tarot deck is the Wheel of Fortune. This card reminds you that life is a never-ending cycle of endings and new beginnings. Seize the opportunities which come to you this month. You may even take a leap of faith which involves changing your direction. It is worth being brave now and considering how you may be limiting yourself from fulfilling your potential. The influences of this month will help you to recognise how you can free yourself from fears, and embrace the changes you need to make to move forward in all areas of your life. At the beginning of each day ask yourself what

you need most. This is a great gift to give to yourself, so make a commitment this month to listen to what you need, take action to bring this to fruition and watch as you quickly fulfil all of your needs and desires. Retreat to Mallorca - November 5-9, 2014 During this five-day retreat, held over the full moon in Taurus, we will help you to relax and rejuvenate with Yoga, Meditation and Massage. Myself and my colleague Jem Newell (massage and natural health therapist) will guide you through a transformative journey to heal your body, mind and spirit, enabling you to gently discover more about your needs and how to fulfil your potential. This exclusive retreat with just four spaces available, will be held at a beautiful residence close to Santa Margalida in Mallorca. Retreat cost is ÂŁ799 which includes full retreat programme, three tasty vegetarian dishes each day provided by our Asian style chef, three hours of classes and a massage each day.

Geriatric jets join the fight Aviation in and out of the box Independent Aerospace Consultant appollo@consultant.com Now living in the Costa del Sol, Geoff spent more than 40 years working in the aviation industry.

THE UK has decided to enter the fight against the ‘IS’ and have nominated six Tornado FGA 4 aircraft that have been on detachment at Akrotiri probably from RAF Marham.

Why six only, I hear you say? It is because that is all we can scrape together for now!

JAVEA BRIDGE CLUB

Bridge articles by IT is common for a beginner, as declarer, to take the ace of a side-suit led by a defender at the first opportunity. However, a good principle is only to take the ace at the point where the defenders can no longer communicate in the suit. This requires inferring how the suit is breaking, but the bidding and early play often provides an accurate indication of how a suit is distributed. Perhaps you are playing in 4♠ after an opponent opens 2♥ (weak). Your heart holding is Ax opposite xxx and the lead is a heart. There is a strong presumption that the heart suit is breaking 6-2 and, if the contract is delicate, it may be necessary to duck and take the ♥A on the second round to foil their communications. Here is a good example where ducking will secure the contract, but the necessity of the play is far from obvious:

counting those on maintenance; they are up to 40 years old and are highly modified. They consist of three squadrons, two of which are rotated in Afghanistan, and the other picks up the ‘odd jobs.’ As said before, the UK continually threaten to retire them. The UK has 85 Eurofighters known as Typhoons, plus those on maintenance. Many more are on order. These are claimed as the best combat aircraft in the world, and cost £125 million each. They are not stealth and cannot perform all the roles the Tornado can. The UK finds it difficult to commit them to war zones in case they lose a few! The Spanish have successfully crashed two and the Germans lost one only last week when it collided with a biz-jet, and so I have to suspect it’s not as good as we are led to believe. The UK Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm has no combat aircraft at all! They are waiting for the new US built F-35. This aircraft has had many years delay in getting into service and will not be ready for a number of years yet.

OPINION & COMMENT

More faces than a town hall clock Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

Donna Beeler / Shutter stock.com

E foolishly claim ours is an enlightened society. We war on nations we feel are in desperate need of a little of our take on liberation. We mock Victorian bashfulness in covering the legs of tables, which they never did. In many ways the Victorians were far more liberated than we are. Better educated, less bigoted, they were simply more discreet about it. They could read books since burnt on the bonfires of political correctness. Such is current hysteria over grey area sex that men dare not stroll past playing fields for fear of being labelled a pervert. I am surprised we don’t throw tablecloths over Victorian works of art that depict child bathers. A newspaper published my photographs of youngsters happily splashing about in the surf of a local beach. A British friend

was horrified that I should take such pictures yet they were typical holiday brochure content. Meanwhile, on newsagents bottom shelves are magazines aimed at pubescent girls, the contents so torrid they would make a sailor blush. In less censorious times there was a time and place for everything including pornography. This was not in children’s school textbooks. There was probably more sauciness and eyebrow-raising behaviour to be found in 19th century music halls than in 1970s’ television studios. Have we decided? Are we prurient or prudish? We are certainly hypocritical. Society today has more faces than a town hall clock. We get ourselves in a tizzy because women of some faiths wear burqas or niqab veil. There is no Koran requirement for them to do so. Let’s stop getting hot under the collar about the dress preferences of some Muslim offshoots. It is none of our business, we

VICTORIAN TIMES: People were far more liberated and could read books that are now no longer politically correct.

have enough problems of a moral nature of our own without wagging the finger at others. Western Christianity has its share of odd religious sects. Do you open the door to a Jehovah’s Witness? Born again Evangelists of the United States make your hair curl? The multi-wife Mormons are a strange bunch but okay because they are not Muslim. How many of us discard their ways and adopt simpler Amish lifestyles? To preserve female modesty some Muslim women do cover up. Why do Westerners want to strip them of their clothes and their modesty; deprive them of respect, their menfolk of dignity? We rant about being able to see only the eyes of clad Muslim women. The less bigoted know that a woman’s eyes are the most appealing part of a woman’s anatomy. Ironically, the eyes are the only part of Western woman covered up when she is wearing little else but sunglasses. Many faiths, not just Muslim, are offended that strangers see parts of sunbathing or partying Western woman that should be seen only in bedrooms or by their gynaecologist. In truth, when it comes to closed minds, there isn’t that much between ourselves and various extreme sects.

Men in the life of Marbella and Banus Viva Marbella With Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio MARBELLA has undergone many changes since the first tourists set foot in Franco’s Spain. Javier Romero, better known as ‘DJ’ has survived these changes and tells his tale, with a smile. It’s been a long journey since arriving from Madrid. He started as a croupier, followed by a stint in the UK and then returning to open DJ’s, one of the port’s most popular disco bars for more than 20 years. Today you’ll find him at the helm of Astral’s Cocktail Bar. Forty years back it might have been unthinkable for someone like Javier to play ‘with the jet set’ and although no Shanaz or Nabila, there he is right alongside. Identifying the niche, with an appeal to teens and betweens, he exchanged the nightlife for a wooden galleon, with three masts no less, serving the most spectacular fresh fruit

LONG JOURNEY: Javier Romero, better known as ‘DJ’. tropical cocktails in a soul-funky ambience, becoming possibly the most popular and photographed bar and ship in the port. Another man born in Madrid also bet his future on Marbella;

Prince Alfonso of HohenloheLangenburg, who successfully promoted the sale of the land he purchased after the Second World War to families like the Thyssens and Rothschilds,

bringing the glitz with his Hollywood house-guests such as Ava Gardner, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant and Sir Laurence Olivier. We can thank Prince Alfonso for Puerto Banus too. By bringing the Russian-Swiss architect Nordi Schreck to Marbella in 1966 to design the beach club of what by then had become the Marbella Club Hotel, the idea for the first Andalucían Marina village was born. At the time José Banus was a prominent property developer and close, personal friend of Franco, sights set on developing skyscrapers. Thankfully Noldi was not only a visionary genius but also a very persuasive one. Things could have been very different for Marbella otherwise. Conceivably Astral’s company moto ‘No Change No Evolution’ is a testament to that past. Franco was still around when Puerto Banus was inaugurated in May 1970. Spain’s now ‘retired’ King Juan Carlos was but a prince, escorted by his fiancée Princess Sofia of Greece to the

opening event, at which they mingled with Prince Rainier of Monaco and Grace Kelly, Roman Polanski and Playboy’s Hugh Hefner to mention a few; serenaded by a very young Julio Iglesias. Javier Romero, like many of us, enjoys reminiscing but always with a keen eye set to the future. “Circumstances change, laws change, governments change and we get older,” he comments. “You have to adapt your business to the flow and with the everchanging tides of tourism. It’s inevitable and necessary to be successful.” Recently Astral was deservedly voted No. 1 attraction by TripAdvisor in Puerto Banus, so congratulations, Astral, and a big thank you to Javier for so many years of continued excellence.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This week's change of planetary powers will allow you to find exactly what you're looking for, especially if you're shopping for bargains. Happily, everything is coming together, so don't let everyday niggles spoil your longterm plans. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) On a personal and financial level, wait for further developments before you reach or activate any important decisions. As you draw near the final phase of this year, the best results will come from spending as much time as possible with loved ones, or those who're on your creative wavelength. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Whatever your plans, or however you intend to enjoy the weekend, there'll be laughter, fun and plenty of action. Refuse to be distracted or upset by any of Monday or Wednesday's twists and turns. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) This week's potent presence of sombre Saturn in your own sign is a warning not to lose your cool, particularly on Tuesday and Thursday. Otherwise, you can expect a weekend of quality and frivolity. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) With so much to think about, will it really be a wonder if something or someone gets left out? It's not just the glitz that's inspiring the action, but certain thankless tasks which are bound to crop up. Whatever the planets get up to, there'll be no stopping Friday and Saturday's enchanting delights. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) You will be ready and waiting for whatever you've organised. Then, without warning, you could have to backtrack or make other plans - you might even encounter some undeserved criticism. But no matter what happens, the weekend will definitely make up for any workaday muddles. Meanwhile, if you're a mixer and mingler, you'll be swept off your feet.

1 October Jimmy Carter, 90, US President He served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 and has travelled extensively to participate in peace negotiations and observe elections around the world.

2 October Sting, 63, Musician and singersongwriter He is best known as the main songwriter, lead singer and bassist of The Police. Gordon Matthew Thomas Summer ‘Sting’ has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, which makes him one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time. 3 October Seann William Scott, 38, Actor Though he has appeared in more than 17 films, ARIES (March 21 - April 20) As you top up your spirits with some extra ideas, don't be surprised if a couple of items drop out of sight. If you seriously want to minimise niggles and hassles, then ask friends or relatives to lend a hand. It's a great week for togetherness, so ensure that you celebrate in style. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There will be enough hurlyburly to cope with at work, let alone elsewhere, so don't even think about doing everything singlehandedly. Cooking, hosting and being all things to everyone shouldn't be your version of the perfect week. Teamwork is the way forward, so take the lead and be sure that everyone gets happily involved.

How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice). Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case K) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.

Seann is best known for his role as Steve Stifler in the American Pie series, a role he reprised in three sequels. He was engaged to American model Lindsay Frimodt.

5 October Kate Winslett, 39, Movie actress Gained fame for acting alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. She also played Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Prior to that she attended the Redroofs Theatre School to study drama and starred in a Sugar Puffs cereal commercial at age 12. 6 October Niall Quinn, 48, Footballer Irish former footballer Niall John Quinn played for Arsenal (1983-1990), Manchester City (1990-1996) and Sunderland (1996-2002) as a striker, scoring 141 goals in 475 appearances in the Premier League. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The more you can offload, the happier you'll be. As you attract kindred spirits, you'll be able to look forward to the weekend whirl with family and friends. In the lead-up to the weekend, try to be patient with those who seem to be pulled in other directions. The weekend's full moon sets the scene for a useful exchange of ideas. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Good news should come your way this week. Regardless of how you mark it, you'll be surrounded by caring hearts. Sunday's full moon is one of two this year associated with journeys, homely connections and good fortune. Despite some workaday hassles your efforts will be well starred.

TARGET: Average: 7 Good: 9 Very good: 13 Excellent: 16 4 October Francisco Javier “Patxi” Lopez Alvarez, Politician. Alvarez was the former president of the Basque Country and Secretary General of the Socialist Party of Euskadi Euskadiko Ezkerra between 2002 and 2014. He is known for his opposition to Basque independence.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Many happy moments will keep you on your toes. With warming wishes in the wind, and a charming touch of luck, don't panic if certain events don't match up to your high standards. Just be Leo-proud that you've got what it takes to make things tick. Unfortunately you can't afford to assume that everything will run to time. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You won't avoid the occasional mishap, but if you're tactful on Tuesday and chill out on Wednesday, the lead-up to the weekend's partying will see you go after whatever you want. Personal and financial discussions will remind you that life is what you make it. Just ride life's waves with confidence.

TOP 10 WEIRDEST UFO SIGHTINGS Are we alone in the universe? Is Earth the only life-sustaining planet in the universe? Have we been visited by creatures from other planets? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, thinking about it is just mindboggling. Here is a list of some of the world’s weirdest UFO sightings. 1. Battle of Los Angeles - 1942 Back in February 1942, America was slowly recovering from the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour which had occurred in December 1941. Many feared the Japanese would attack the Continental United States so when an unidentified flying object was seen hovering over Los Angeles by hundreds of people there was widespread panic. The army got involved and planes were deployed to shoot at the UFO. 2. Kecksburg, Pennsylvania - 1965 A fiery ball was seen shooting across the sky in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania in December 1965, shortly before it crashed into the woods. The military and the police roped off the area to keep curious onlookers at bay, but that did not prevent them from seeing a large object being taken away on a flatbed truck. 3. Colares - 1977 Several UFOs were spotted over the Brazilian island of Colares in 1977. There were 400 witnesses, some of whom claimed to have been attacked by light beams which left burns on their bodies. A witness said the beams were about seven or eight centimetres in diameter and white in colour and that they felt almost as hot as a cigarette burn. 4. Japan Air - 1986 Japan Airlines Flight 1628 was carrying a large shipment of wine between Paris and Tokyo in November of 1986. When it was over Alaska, the crew and some of the passengers saw a bright flying

WRITTEN by English author Victoria Hislop and first published in 2005, The Island was nominated for the Book of the Year award at the 2007 British Book Awards. Set on the island of Spinalonga, this historical novel follows 25-year-old Alexis Fielding who is at a crossroads in life and must make a very difficult

Between 20 and 30 lights flew in a V formation over the city and were photographed by a student. The story was covered by Life Magazine the following year. 9. Washington - 1947 Private pilot Kenneth Arnold claims to have spotted nine shiny unidentified flying objects near Mount Rainier south east of Seattle in the state of Washington. Arnold estimated the objects’ speed at 1,932 km/h.

Many believe an extraterrestrial spaceship crashing at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico, in the summer of 1947 and that the US military recovered both the alien spacecraft and its occupants. The military, however, said it was simply a surveillance balloon and that there was no cover-up.

Late breaking news! Vote-rigging by aliens CLAIMS of vote-rigging during the recent Scottish referendum have led to tens of thousands of angry Scots signing online petitions for a recount or a fresh vote based on videos that purport to show evidence of electoral fraud. One video apparently shows a counting officer at the Dundee polling station appearing to lift votes from a ‘yes’ pile and place them under the ‘no,’ while a photo seems to show a ‘yes’ vote, bundled with others, sitting in the ‘no’ pile. Another video allegedly depicts a counting officer in Edinburgh writing on a ballot paper. Want to hear my theory? I think alien invaders beamed down and mixed up the ballot papers, ensuring that all the piles of ‘yes’ votes had a ‘no’ vote on top so they’d be mis-sorted. Simples! The same aliens, incidentally, responsible for the death of Princess Diana, the fake moon landings and for keeping Elvis captive on the moon. And what about the Russian observers who complained that the count was fixed and didn’t meet ‘international standards’? Not how they do it in Russia apparently, where they probably get to stuff the ballot boxes as well. Yep, if there’s anyone who knows about dodgy

vote counts, it’s those Russians ... Now, it’s right and proper that attention is drawn to any apparent

irregularities in any electoral process and that explanations are sought. There were, reportedly, a number of cases of voter impersonation which have been duly investigated by the police. However, at the time of writing, there is no hard evidence that the actual count was conducted in any way improperly. Isn’t this, though, the standard response you always expect in the circumstances? If someone loses a vote, it’s all rigged. If they win, everything’s above board and the ‘people’ have spoken. Really! Stories like these - head in bucket of sand comes to mind - do bring the crazies out. En masse. Is the traditional summer ‘silly season’ already

over when such daft stories are trotted out? What real news are we being distracted from? Elvis has just been sighted in Edinburgh waving a ‘yes’ placard? Both World War II and 9/11 were staged? And former French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s planning a comeback? No, hang on, that is true!

Liberty Seguros and RACE new road safety campaign for pensioners

MANY accidents occur on urban roads, and in many cases, pedestrians are the victims. According to the DGT, 33 per cent of pedestrians killed on urban roads were over the age of 65. For this reason, Liberty Seguros, together with RACE (Royal Automobile Club of Spain) are conducting an awareness campaign in Spain, under the name of ‘Senior Mobility, the way forward’ aimed at older people in order to reduce the number of these accidents. This is to raise awareness for the over 65-year-old population for safer mobility with useful tips and recommendations. The project will cover the Spanish geography and actions will be developed in the cities of Granada, Alicante, Salamanca and Santiago de Compostela, amongst others. The awareness campaign will be based primarily on a ‘road show’ that will feature a mobile information room and training on road safety, especially for those over 65, as well as on other aspects that can affect ones safety, like the importance of healthy eating or how to improve fitness.

Thus, thanks to Liberty Seguros and RACE, the project will provide a better understanding of the behaviour of the senior population on public thoroughfares and thus define increased and improved road safety policies to reduce traffic accidents, helping this group to move more safely on the streets.

SENIOR MOBILITY, THE WAY FORWARD: David Melton, María Seguí, Tomás Santa Cecilia and Juan Miguel Estallo at the presentation of the new project in Madrid. These awareness activities will be accompanied by a study on senior population mobility. For this, more than 400 people over 65 years will be personally interviewed to know their

points of view on road safety, level of mobility and fitness, their opinion on the condition of the streets, their daily mobility habits and the routes they usually take.

Some useful data *: • 56 per cent of accidents occur on urban roads • Pedestrians account for 46 per cent of deaths • 49 per cent of serious injuries are in the over 64-years-old population • amongst this population, 33 per cent of accidents are fatal *(Source: Directorate General of Traffic - DGT)

THE clinical signs of pseudo pregnancy range from subtle to extreme. In some cases, they are so convincing that even experienced breeders are confident that a litter is coming. Signs include behavioural changes (anorexia or appetite fluctuations, whining, restlessness, signs of aggression, depression, or anxiety), maternal behaviour, mammary problems, vomiting and abdominal distension. It is not difficult to diagnose false pregnancy in dogs. If the animal went through a heat cycle six to 12 weeks

PREGNANCY: Could it be false? before the onset of clinical signs of pregnancy, whether or not she was known to be bred during that time, a veterinarian will take a thorough history of her recent physical and behavioural conduct and will perform a complete physical examination. Radiographs and ultrasound can be used to conclusively confirm the presence or absence of pregnancy, and no additional blood, urine or other tests should be necessary.

Radiographs and ultrasound are also useful to rule out the possibility of a serious condition called pyometra which is an accumulation of pus inside the uterus from bacterial infection. Pyometra can be lifethreatening and must be treated as an emergency. It is uncommon, but still possible, signs of false pregnancy will appear in a bitch who actually became pregnant and then either aborted or reabsorbed her puppies, in which case the risk of developing pyometra increases dramatically. Unless you are showing your bitch I strongly recommend that they are spayed before the first heat. Vets have different opinions, some agree with me others say after the first heat. From a behavioural point of view the earlier we teach and train our pets the better. For your local radio frequency log onto www.talkradioeurope.com.

By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch JOHN and Miranda moved to Spain for John’s work 20 years ago, and live in Fuengirola, regularly returning to the UK for family events and holidays. Even with a good network they still find it hard to find suitable pet care for their three cats especially over the Christmas/New Year period. This is when local sitters prefer to be at home with family or take a holiday themselves. So what to do..? This year John researched online, to see if there might be an easier solution than the constant telephoning of their entire list of contacts to see if anyone was staying locally in the holidays and could move in for two weeks to feed the cats and keep an eye on things. It feels like

an imposition to ask. John knew that there are online networks to help you find experienced housesitters. After registering with HouseSitMatch.com for free he came across Sara and Andrew, a professional Australian couple travelling the world for 12 months with their twin babies. ‘Perfect’ John thought. ‘They need a comfortable home and good wifi so Andrew can work while they experience Spain at Christmas. We need someone in the house to care for the cats and security. A fair exchange!’

Westar Pools for a five-star pool service WESTAR POOLS is a company specialist in the building, repair, renovation and maintenance of indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Their office is located in Riviera del Sol, and they can offer their services all over the Costa and beyond. “Distance is not a problem within reason. We have carried out work from Gibraltar to Nerja, and inland as far as Cartama,” said Julie Eason, co-owner of Westar Pools. The company opened in 2001 and since then it has gone from strength to strength. “I was a travel agent and had travelled the world whereas my husband had a building company in England. We moved here when our

children were very young, and they settled very easily. We never looked back. They love it as much as we do,” added Julie. At Westar Pools, they don’t focus only on the pool, but they can complete any work related to it. Julie explained: “Very often, when building or repairing a swimming pool, the surrounding area gets destroyed anyway, so we can also take care of the terrace area or garden near it, by redesigning and rebuilding it, so the client gets a complete make-over. We can also provide pool lightning, pool heating or pool covers. We have even built chiringuitos!” The key to Westar Pools’ success is in their

Prepare for Christmas ONE of the joys of having a property in Spain is the pleasure of a colourful garden at Christmas. A garden that motivates you to sit out and enjoy the winter sun and perhaps even eat Christmas lunch outdoors before a glass of brandy and hot mince pies in front of a roaring log fire. Five things to be done: 1. Resist doing the major annual garden cut back in the autumn. 2. Throughout the autumn aim to prolong the flowering of perennials and shrubs by continuously deadheading as soon as flowers die. 3. Stimulate the early flowering of shrubs and trees that often do not flower until early to mid January. 4. If your garden is not already fully planted plant up some of the shrubs and trees we list below. 5. Purchase a selection of plants in flower just before Christmas.

Dick Handscombe

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

Some plants that can be in flower at Christmas: The strawberry tree (arbutus unedo) which also has bright red fruits to brighten the garden. The galan de noche that might be persuaded to pump out its heavy perfume on Christmas Eve. Of the early flowering trees the delebeta and bon accuel varieties of mimosa are spectacular. Shrubs Lantanas are reliable in most gardens and also hibiscus in warmer spots. Likewise roses if they have been deadheaded, watered and fed

during the autumn. Poinsettias can replace a garden Christmas tree. Climbing shrubs. Bougainvilleas, bignonias, solanums and perfumed jasmines for spectacular displays. Perennials The frutescens and coronarium chrysanthemums and euryops daisy give reliable colour in many gardens. Succulents Several succulents can come into flower around Christmas and various varieties of Christmas cacti. Winter annuals The most reliable for colourful displays are the seasonal pansies, busy lizzies, stocks, wallflowers and also petunias. Christmas bulbs Our favourites include pots of amaryllis and hyacinths. (c) Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com Oct 2014

Five simple changes to help you reduce your risk of heart attack

www.euroweeklynews.com

HEART ATTACKS could be avoided by making five simple lifestyle changes. A study of 20,271 men by researchers in Sweden found that four out of five heart attacks could have been prevented if simple steps were taken to improve and change their lifestyle habits.

These were losing the belly; cutting down on alcohol; walking for 40 minutes a day; eating more fruit and vegetables, and quitting smoking. Just making the one change reduced their risk by up to a third whilst it fell by 86 per cent if all five changes were made.

HER2-negative, the most common type of breast cancer types. These are the findings of a first phase clinical trial sponsored by the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) through the Clinical Research Unit of Breast Cancer. Miguel Angel Quintela, Head of the CNIO, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The combination of drugs has proved to be a success, since it has proven to be completely safe and has yielded rates of complete cure of 50 per cent.â&#x20AC;? The trial included 10 patients with HER2negative breast cancer, all in early stages of the disease. In view of the results, the institution has already launched a largescale clinical study for phase two to validate the work in a larger number of patients. The results are expected in early 2015.

Multifunctional cosmetics for skin and hair-care are taking off BLURRED lines between beauty technology are becoming increasingly common, with overlaps between skincare, haircare and colour cosmetics. Combining the most exciting technology and marketing from more than one category, manufacturers are creating new combinations with new products, packaging, marketing and merchandise. Jane Henderson, Global President of Mintel’s Beauty and Personal Care Division said: “Mixologiste is fast becoming the standout trend that spans all beauty and personal care categories. “While manufacturers have worked with multifunctionality for a number of years, we are now

INNOVATIVE COMBINATIONS: With new products, packaging, marketing and merchandise. seeing them take inspiration from completely different categories to create new products and marketing messages. The huge success of BB creams has led manufacturers to think about how they can build on their existing portfolios and add excitement to sometimes saturated sectors.

“New combinations will continue to evolve, resulting in new products, packaging, marketing and merchandising. This will add a new sense of excitement to the market and will drive innovation in the year ahead.” Mintel’s consumer research highlights the popularity of multifunctional make-up in the

US, with as many as 70 per cent of US female consumers expressing an interest in multifunctional lip products, and 65 per cent showing interest in multifunctional facial coverage products; for example, those which combine the benefits of foundation and concealer. And while saving time and cost are highlighted as the benefits of these products, the research shows how time-poor US consumers perceive timesaving (68 per cent) to be a greater benefit than reduced costs (63 per cent). But while multifunctionality is popular in the US it is not as popular in the UK where just a quarter of women say

they are interested in products which have cosmetic benefits as well as care for the skin, such as BB cream and tinted lip balm. Vivienne Rudd, Director of Insight, Beauty & Personal Care at Mintel, said: “It’s an exciting time for colour cosmetics, which have extended their scope into unexpected areas. Hair chalks blend

make-up with temporary colourants, primers now extend to pre-styling treatments and CC creams have moved beyond facial colour cosmetics into nail care, lipsticks and even haircare.” Rudd added: “The coming years will see even more developments as manufacturers build on excitement and pique consumers’ interest.”

Da Bruno : traditional food elegantly served WHEN Bruno and his family opened their first restaurant in Marbella in 1994, they could hardly envisage that 20 years later, the Da Bruno Restaurants would be a classic in the Costa del Sol. “Each restaurant is different,” Giancarlo Paparusso, son of Bruno and restaurant manager of Da Bruno Mijas Costa said. “For example, Da Bruno Cabopino has a beautiful secluded garden that is packed in the summer. Meats are a big hit there; Da Bruno Sul Mare is right in the promenade in Marbella, and it’s famous for its fish menu and live music; Da Bruno A Casa in the Marbella Golden Mile is great for their home-made pasta etc…” But the one thing in common

ELEGANT DINING: Each restaurant is different but they all use fresh ingredients. with all the restaurants is the fresh, top quality ingredients and a core menu. “Everything we buy is fresh and, if possible, local. We do that to offer our clients the

freshest, most flavoursome food and by doing so, we are also

eliminating the carbon footprint,” Giancarlo Paparusso said. One of the favourites in all our restaurants are our gambas pilpil (prawns), “so much so, that people have even offered us money for the recipe!” Giancarlo said. The typical anti-pasti are very popular as is the Da Bruno selection of scrumptious Italian desserts. When asked about his own restaurant, Da Bruno Mijas Costa, Giancarlo said: “In the 18 months we have been opened, we have had an incredible success. We have been fortunate to have a clientele that supports us and keeps coming back for our meats in general and our Chateaubriand steak in

particular. Our sea bass and our Cod in sesame and honey sauce are favourites too.” New Year’s Eve parties at Da Bruno Mijas Costa have been very popular for the last two years. They host parties and have a function room where clients can have their important celebrations such as silver or golden wedding anniversaries, First Holy Communions and birthday parties.

Casa Italia, a hidden trea CASA ITALIA is a hidden treat for those who love to indulge in fine Italian Cuisine. Situated in the heart of Cabopino Port, you will find Casa Italia next door to Julies Bar. What was once the old dining area of Julies is now home to the newest eatery in Cabopino. With super views overlooking the port, you can dine on the terrace where you are able to sit back and watch the world, people and yachts go by or take a seat inside and enjoy the comfortable surrounds of the new and recently refurbished venue. With a comfortable inside seating area, Casa Italia also has a terrace, designed to cater for all weather conditions, for 36 covers. French owner, Florian

A complimentary home-made platter of breads with tartar and garlic sauce and some amazing tasting olives arrived. The oven baked provolone cheese with tomatoes and oregano (€5) was a must, served with the second starter of home-made marinated vegetable and rocket leaves under buffalo mozzarella (€7). The provolone was the best, absolutely mouth-watering, a taste bud overload, so much so I almost had to order another. It was fantastico! The main course consisted of grilled pork

chops served in a creamy mushroom sauce and home-made potato puree (€14). The pork was just perfect tender, plenty of it and without a trace of fat. The sauce was creamy and

tremendously tasty to the point of finding it difficult to say no to more. With one main covered, the second was yet to come. Home-

I started performing on stage at the age of 17 with a local hip-hop band called Nazion Sur. What do you love about preforming on the Costa del Sol? I love meeting all the people of so many different nationalities. It is such a cosmopolitan place, and you never know who you are going to bump into. It makes it a very exciting place to be. Who are your musical influences? There are so many, and they come from a big variety of backgrounds. To name just a few, Michael Brecker, Maceo Parker, Kool and the Gang, J.S. Bach, Paco de Lucia, Camarón de la Isla, Chick Corea, and many more. What makes performing at Joys Live so special? The party atmosphere is fabtastic and the happy ambience is great. Every night is an adventure full of humour and happiness. It’s so much fun to work there.

The new Happy Haddock in Fuengirola is there to put a happy smile on your face ONLY a few things can bring you back to the UK, and one of them is an authentic fish and chips supper. The Happy Haddock in Fuengirola has recently opened to offer customers a real taste of traditional, good quality UK food. Jason Maidment, owner, said: “I am not new to this business at all. In fact my father had a chip shop and was master fryer of the year on a few occasions.” Although he helped his father, Jason became a qualified electrical technician. Both Jason and his partner Eileen, a teacher, left their jobs looking for a better lifestyle and weather in Spain and they found the perfect place right in the centre of Fuengirola. “The restaurant is just off the seafront. It is not just a takeaway place, it has a seating area for 22 people indoors and a terrace that can accommodate

any time fresh and full of flavour. Their current offers will keep pockets as well as stomachs happy. A small cod, chips, peas, a slice of buttered bread, English tea or Nescafe and dessert all for €5.95. Their dinner for two special for only €20 includes two large cod, chips, peas and a litre bottle of wine. They are open Monday to Saturday from 1pm to 11pm.

REAL TASTE: Of traditional, good quality UK food. up to 16 people,” said Jason. “We have had a very encouraging start,” he added. “Not only do we have UK customers but we have locals and Scandinavian clients looking to taste our food.” For his new venture, Jason is

using only fresh cod, plaice and haddock, with no cheaper variations included. Many of the products used are brought from the UK such as gravies, curries and peas, whereas he was fortunate enough to borrow

his father’s secret batter recipe to use. Their delicious pies in all flavours are kept in the pie warmer to be enjoyed at

Power station delay

Border controls raised in Lords

FIFA deny Gibraltar membership

GIBRALTAR’S Deputy Chief Minister has admitted in an interview with GBC that The Rock’s new power station will not be ready in time for the next general election. Dr Joseph Garcia said the €87 million power station has a way to go before completion, and certainly not before the end of the government’s current term.

THE rocky relationship between the UK and Spanish governments over Gibraltar has been raised in the House of Lords. A senior conservative peer has said that the lengthy checks Spain carries out at its border along La Linea amount to a breach in EU law.

GIBRALTAR’S national football squad does not meet the requirements to join FIFA’s community of international teams, according to the association’s president, Sepp Blatter. Speaking in Zurich, he said: “The football association of Gibraltar cannot be accepted as a member of FIFA, according to Article 10 of the FIFA statutes.”

taking part in the jazz workshops. The trio will perform as part of the festival on Thursday 23. Pianist, singer and songwriter, Eliane Elias, is known for her distinctive musical style which blends her Brazilian roots with her instrumental jazz, classical and compositional skills. On Friday October 24, the stage of the Queen’s Cinema will showcase local talent, with performances by Levanter Breeze and The Soul Mates.

ADRENALINE RUSH: Thundercat racing.

Thundercats speed in EUROPEAN Championship Thundercat Racing is on today, Saturday and Sunday (October 2, 4 and 5). Thundercat racing takes place in the sea, metres from the beach, based on a 400 metre x 200 metre ‘M’ circuit which has five turn buoys including a chicane. Boats are designed to cross the water with the hull riding on a cushion of air bubbles, resulting in a thrilling adrenaline sport which appeals to both participants and spectators.

Teams are made up of a pilot who controls the speed and direction and a co-pilot who moves around the boat, leaning into turns and jumping towards the nose when the jump lifts up and threatens to flip! Teams confirmed from UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Gibraltar with a special guest country making a visit to the event off the Eastern Beach. More information: www.thundercatracing.com

The Gibraltar International Jazz Festival will close on the night of Saturday October 25 with performances by the Massias/Galiardo collective, followed by Fillet O Soul, made up of musicians from Jools Holland’s orchestra and BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, with special guests Mica Paris, Omar and Madeline Bell.

Home improvement market on the rise after the financial crisis E

VEN though the process of renovating a house can become a nightmare for many, data show that right now might be the best time to get on board the renovation bandwagon. The home renovation business is shyly rising to the surface after the economic crisis. The price of materials has fallen between 10 and 15 per cent depending on the kind of work. In addition, public grants, the ‘Renove’ plans and reduced taxes have led the sector to growth.

GROWING MARKET: More than 5,364 homes underwent renovation work during the first quarter of the year.

According to data released by Cepco (Spanish Confederation of Associations

of Construction Material Producers) in 2013, more than 22,000 and 27,000

buildings were renovated. From January to March of 2014, 5,364 houses have undergone renovation works, 1.9 per cent more than the same term of the previous year. For many clients, the smaller the renovation, the better. A great majority of them wish to carry out a small makeover which will allow them to live in the same

house for longer. The most frequent renovation works are changing bath tubs or shower trays, installing wooden floors and repainting the walls. It is also very common to combine renovations in the kitchen and bathroom, since these are the rooms which experience more damage due to usage. Prices go from €5,000 to €15,000 for a makeover and the works that add to the expenses of a renovation project are the addition of windows, pipe changing and electric installations.

PROPERTY

VALENCIA: Registered 1,633 transactions between March and June.

Property sales up 12 per cent between March and June PROPERTY sales in Spain increased by 12.1 per cent in the second quarter of the year. According to the Ministry of Development, sales went up 12.1 per cent compared to the same term in 2010 and

amounted to 91,338 transactions. Second-hand property purchases and sales held a 84.3 per cent share of the market between April and June whereas new houses held only a 15.7 per cent share (14,296).

Average price of urban land rises THE average price per square metre of urban land increased by 3.5 per cent between April and June 2014, according to the Development Ministry. Figures released by the Spanish Government show that the prices stood at €146.4 per square metre. This can be construed as a positive development after the value of land registered its minimum level of the last 10 years during the first quarter of the year, when it stood at €141.5 per square metre. Furthermore, land prices dropped by a further 9.3 per cent between April and July

after registering a 10 per cent decline in the first quarter of 2014. In contrast, data show that land prices have accumulated an overall contraction of 48.6 per cent since the maximum reached between July and September of 2007 (€285 per square metre). This was before the boom came to an end and the financial crisis broke out. During the second quarter of the year, the average per square metre price of land in municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants saw a 16.9 per cent decline when compared to 2013.

The majority of the transactions were registered in Madrid with 6,705 transactions, followed by Barcelona (3,395), Valencia (1,633), Sevilla (1,293), Zaragoza (1,286), Torrevieja in Alicante (1,216) and Marbella (Malaga) (1,165). The statistics released by the Ministry of Development show the ‘singularity’ of such an increase, since neither the second quarter of this year nor the one in 2013 were influenced by tax bonuses. Statistics released by the Ministry of Development also reveal that the purchases carried out by foreigners residing in Spain reached an historical record with 14,952: a 20 per cent improvement compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Alicante has taken a lead position with 3,993 houses sold to foreigners between April and June, followed by Malaga (2,222) and Barcelona (1,317). In addition, foreigners who do not live in Spain bought 1,202 houses which represent an increase of 13.7 per cent compared to the previous year.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

NEWS

Born to be not so free

UIS and CJ Munoz are the husband and wife team who represent the international Campaign Against Canned Hunting (CACH) in Spain. A few weeks ago they received an email from a colleague in South Africa bearing the mysterious heading, “Over to you.” CJ speaking exclusively to Euro News Weekly, unravels a tale of unbearable cruelty, kindness, cuteness and hope. “We received an email from CACH colleague Linda Park in South Africa pointing us to the Facebook page ‘Volunteers in Africa Beware’ that had a compelling story. It all started when a photograph of four young men on holiday in Spain was posted on the social media site,” CJ reported. The photograph that provoked the ire of the internet showed the four smiling lads holding a small, obviously stressed lion cub. The owner was using not just one, but two lion cubs to lure tourists into having a photograph taken and then charging them €10 per photograph. Comments on social media poured in, denigrating the owner for the treatment of the cubs, particularly the accusation that the owner deliberately kept them small by keeping them on a diet of milk. The rationale being the smaller, the cuter, the more tourist snaps. A fair bit of detective work later, CJ and Luis had identified the park the photo had been taken in and from there a road trip from their Madrid home to Benidorm was undertaken. Luis said: “We contacted Guardia Civil Seprona, (the Spanish Special Police Service for the protection of Nature), and luckily found reasons to impound the cubs.” The owner was told the cubs would be returned if the owner could produce the rest of the papers required. Oddly enough, the owner gave up the rights of ownership before the case came to court and Seprona placed the cubs in the care of the Raul Merida Sanctuary in Alicante. After a bout of bureaucratic juggling, CJ and Luis were

NEW HOME: The cubs will be transported to South Africa. RESCUED: The cubs receive expert medical care. rewarded with a remarkable stroke of luck. They were awarded custody of the cubs and allowed to take them back to Madrid for medical treatment and their long path back to rehabilitation. In Madrid the cubs are in the Fauna y Accion centre under the care of highly experienced, motivated animal lovers and wonderful people are giving them the love and attention they did not have until now. CJ and Luis were fortunate to be introduced to highly experienced wildlife vet, Dr Deborah McCauley, who set about diagnosing the cubs’ ailments and providing expert medical care with the assistance of vet Irene Manso.

Desperate to find a permanent home for the cubs in Europe, CJ and Luis approached various organisations for help. Unfortunately, there are more lions and tigers waiting to be rescued than places in Europe able to take them. So the search widened worldwide. Eventually discussions with the famous ‘Lion Whisperer’, Kevin Richardson, took place and so enamoured was he with the cubs that Kevin offered them a permanent home at his 1,300-hectare lion sanctuary in Dinokeng, South Africa. As Euro Weekly News pet owners will be aware, the trials and tribulations involved in getting the correct paperwork and transportation for domestic

pets from the UK to Spain is fraught with difficulties; imagine for a moment the complexity and costs of transporting two young lion cubs from Madrid to Johannesburg. Vaccinations, clearances, permits for both export and import, import and transport permits for South Africa, veterinary certificates and so on. Then there are the logistics. Nobody flies direct from Spain to South Africa since the crisis and the cubs will have to be flown from one of Europe’s northern hubs, London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam, although Luis is investigating possible direct flights from Cairo, Egypt. Most importantly the cubs

who are reckoned to be only three-and-a-half-months-old need to be transported in a smooth and stress-free environment. The rescue of the cubs has been done on a voluntary basis by CJ and Luis at considerable personal expense. Naturally more money will be required to cover the remaining medical treatment, care, feeding and of course transportation. A fundraising page has been set up to contribute towards the costs, already roughly €5,000 has been raised, nearly halfway to the €12,000 target. As CJ and Luis’s colleague in South Africa said: “Over to You.” https://www.indiegogo.com/ projects/help-rescue-twospanish-lion-cubs

Biggest Rolls-Royce order ever ENTREPRENEUR Stephen Hung has just bought the largest RollsRoyce Phantom fleet in the world. He has ordered 30 Bespoke Extended Wheelbase Phantoms for his Louis XIII hotel in Macau. This is the world’s single largest order of Rolls-Royces ever, and two of the fleet will be the most expensive Rolls-Royce Phantoms ever commissioned. The deal was sealed at a signing ceremony at the Goodwood home of Rolls-Royce in West Sussex, England. The ceremony was attended by Rolls-Royce CEO, Torsten MuellerOetvoes, Louis XIII Chairman, Stephen Hung, the Board of RollsRoyce Motor Cars, Louis XIII executives and a representative from Graff Diamonds. “Macau is rapidly evolving into

STEPHEN HUNG (second left): Large order. the luxury capital of the world and we are honoured to have the opportunity to add to Macau’s many distinctions, the world’s largest fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms, including the two most

luxurious vehicles Rolls-Royce has ever built. Louis XIII and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars share the same philosophy: to deliver the perfect

experience to the world’s most discerning customers,” said Louis XIII Chairman, Stephen Hung. “We at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars are delighted and honoured that Mr Hung has commissioned RollsRoyce to provide the largest single order of Phantoms in history. The Louis XIII fleet of Phantoms promises to be one of the most impressive sights ever seen in Macau when they arrive at the Louis XIII hotel in 2016. “Mr Hung’s commission reaffirms Phantom’s pinnacle position as the car of choice for those seeking to experience the

finest luxury the world has to offer,” commented Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Not content with run of the mill Rolls-Royces, each of the 30 cars has been customised by RollsRoyce’s Bespoke design team at Goodwood, working hand-inhand with Mr Hung and Louis XIII to create distinctive vehicles. Newly created bespoke elements have been applied both to the interior and exterior of the cars including bespoke clocks designed and created by Graff Luxury Watches. The two most expensive Phantoms will additionally feature external and internal gold-plated accents. The Phantom fleet will chauffeur the guests of Louis XIII, located on Cotai Strip in Macau.

I WILL start by congratulating Europe on that brilliant 16½ points to 11½ victory over the USA in the 40th Ryder Cup at Gleneagles. My stars in Perthshire were England’s Justin Rose, Ireland’s duo of Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy, Welshman Jamie Donaldson (who fired the match-winning stroke), Frenchman Victor Dubuisson and German Martin Kaymer but all credit (and more) to Paul McGinley’s wonderful team of golfers who thoroughly deserved their triumph after an impressive display of driving, pitching,

chipping and putting. Each and every player was ‘up for it’ from the first to the last tee and with tremendous support, one sensed there was only going to one winner... Europe! An aggregate attendance of 133,672 watched, cheered and admired three days of truly great sporting action, some of the best seen for years. FOOTBALL - Last weekend’s ‘big’ Premiership derbies, Arsenal-Spurs and Liverpool-Everton, both ended in 1-1 draws... leaders Chelsea, with another Diego Costa goal, defeated Aston Villa 3-0... Manchester City won 4-2 at Hull... second-placed Southampton edged QPR 2-1 with a brilliant Graziano Pelle strike... ‘wild’ Wayne Rooney scored and was sent-off as Manchester United beat West Ham 21...
