Costa says NO to violence COSTA BLANCA NORTH

By Eleanor Hawkins International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women was held yesterday (Wednesday 25) and towns all over the Costa del Sol and the rest of Spain have been holding events to mark the event. Marbella was just one of the places where a minute’s silence was held and manifestos read out against gender violence.

“We want to let victims know they’re not alone, we are all there for them and there is hope,” said Equality Councillor Ana Leschiera. The problem is one which, far from being solved, is increasing and so far this year in Spain, 48 women have died at the hands of their partners or exes, 10 of them in Andalucia and three in Malaga Province. The Andalucian Women’s

Institute has reported more than 5,200 gender violencerelated queries this year, suggesting many women are suffering in silence. In fact, Spanish government delegate in Malaga Jose Luis Ruiz Espejo said this week, domestic violence has become a pandemic, which according to the United Nations affects one third of the women in the world.

British estate agent found guilty of manslaughter APPEARING before a judge at Algeciras Criminal Court Two, Devinder Kainth, 39, a British estate agent living in Spain, was given a six-month prison sentence after admitting the manslaughter of German PR man Sandro Rottman at the Spinnaker restaurant in Sotogrande. In his summary, Judge Raquel Gomez Sancho said: “When the accused finished eating and got up to leave the restaurant he realised as he talked to Sandro that he had been taking photos of his children without his consent. This really upset the accused and led to him shouting at Sandro that he should erase them whilst he demanded he explain his actions.The tense situation led to a fight in which the accused punched Sandro several times in the head,” she said. The judge ruled that Rottman’s alcohol-related health problems had contributed to his death as he had cirrhosis of the liver caused by his excessive drinking. It was further revealed that Rottman was being investigated prior to his death with regards to improper images of children found on his computer. Generally in Spain, anyone who is sentenced to less than two years’ imprisonment is not normally expected to ‘serve their time’ but effectively the six months is likely to be treated as a suspended sentence.

Mum-to-be vaccinations are brought forward HEALTH Department will start administering jabs from Monday, November 30 By Eleanor Hawkins ANDALUCIAN Health Delegate Aquilino Alonso announced yesterday (Wednesday 25) that whooping cough vaccinations for pregnant women will be given as of this Monday (November 30). TheAndalucian Health Department had initially announced that the vaccinations would be included in standard jabs for pregnant women as of January 1, following the deaths of three young babies this autumn from whooping cough. As reported in the Euro Weekly News, pregnant women had been desperately attempting to track down and buy the vaccine themselves as their doctors were recommending them to protect babies until they received their own jabs at two months old, yet a general shortage meant they were impossible to obtain.

Pine tree outbreak injections

Firefighting drill in Marbella

FUENGIROLA will be fighting outbreaks of pine processionary caterpillars with ‘endotherapy’, an injection of a plant health product into the trunk of the tree. The caterpillars are local pests which are known for making their nests in pine trees and feeding on the needles and buds and are particularly dangerous for dogs. The injections have been shown in the past to produce good results, and the product is environmentally friendly.

A FOREST firefighting drill coordinated by Infoca service is taking place today (Thursday 26) in the Nagueles quarry area behind Marbella. The drill will be used as an exercise for practising Fire Brigade protocols for fighting forest fires designated with levels zero, one and two, and will include all teams that would act in the event of a real fire. The drill is part of an Emergency Management course that is being held in November by Malaga City Hall. The teams involved will be deployed at 8am, with the drills themselves beginning at 10am. They are expected to last until 1.30pm. The aim of this drill is to improve coordination between all groups involved in fighting fire at all levels, from deploying teams to sharing information, drawing up plans of action and the organisation of the emergency operation etc. The drill will be based on an imaginary scenario of a fire caused by a barbecue at a home near the forest.

REMEMBRANCE: Prayers said at the mosque in Fuengirola for the Paris victims.

Speaking out in the name of peace FUENGIROLA imam denounces Paris terror attacks By Steve Walsh THE imam in Fuengirola, Mohamed Kamal Mustafa, joined the Islamic community in Malaga Province on Tuesday November 17, in prayer. During the event, he asked for a cease to violence following the Paris attacks. He announced that he had a ls o s e nt a le tte r to the French Embassy expressing his condolences as head of the Fuengirola mosque. The letter read: “Those who hide behind lies to kill innocent people and spill their blood are not of any religion, nor do they know God, they don’t even belong to the human race.

The result for them, for their inhuman crimes, will be a tough punishment both on earth and in heaven.” The i m am , who i s al so the president of the Association of Islamic Theologists and Investigators, additionally took part in a gathering to honour the Paris victims outside Malaga City Hall on Sunday. “We’re against all bloodshed,” he stated. “From this blessed land, Spain, where three religions l i ved i n har m ony, whi ch united ideas from each to construct common values and beneficial goodness,” he continued, “we announce with all sincerity our most energetic rejection, and con-

demn those who have murdered innocent people.” Mohamed Kamal Mustafa also spoke regarding one of the passages from the Koran which declares: “God says: he who kills a soul without right or causes corruption on earth before God, it’s as if he has killed all of humanity and he who saves one, it’s as if he saves all of humanity.” In conclusion, he urged the authorities of the different nations to put negotiations into place to favour peace between the various countries at conflict. “We have to open the way for our children, those who know how to live together.” he said.

EURO WOMEN PAGE

For the love of children Our Euro Women series is featuring women who have made a success of their lives in Spain. These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports. Annette English has helped improve the lives of many disadvantaged children. A CHRISTMAS gift campaign over a decade ago saw Annette and her husband Dave make a donation to ‘Make a Child Smile’. Their efforts to give a needy child a happier Christmas were so well received that they were asked if they would do the same the following year and help the children in the Altea home. Visiting the centre, Annette asked what the children needed most, to which came the reply ‘love’. “I came away crying my eyes out,” admitted Annette, and since then it has been a labour of love as she has thrown herself into raising funds to buy essential items for the children, to give them hope for the future and let them know that someone cares. And no one could care more than Annette: “I do love them. When I see them I can’t stop hugging and kissing them and they say they love me, and that means a lot. I’ve seen a lot of the children grow up over the years,” she said. Annette was primarily fundraising for Emaus and when they took over the Elche home, she diverted her efforts there as it was closer to her home in La Marina. However, the two entities then separated and for a few years she was helping both Emaus and Elche Children’s Home until the Elche Children’s Care Home Charity was formally set up. “Elche gets very little funding. The Arcos del Castillo foundation helps to pay staff wages but it is very difficult,” explained Annette, adding that the home was now a very different place to what it once was. They have managed to get a new kitchen installed, brightened the place up, added new furniture and bought TVs and computers.

BUSY ‘RETIREMENT’: Annette has worked hard to ensure that dozens of children have a better quality of life.

Their next fundraising target is €6,000 to pay for recreational lighting outside. The home takes in children aged 11-18, who have been removed from their family unit for whatever reason; some have issues and illnesses but Annette said they all need love and support. “The care and love that the people at the home show them is amazing; they go out as different children. We have had a number leave over the last year to return home which is great, but of course they take everything with them, so we have to start all over again. A child may come in with just the clothes on their back so we have to clothe and provide for them,” she said. Annette added: “As a charity we have paid for a boy to go on a mechanics training course and we have two girls studying

hairdressing. These are the real success stories.” But Annette admits she could not have done it all alone, saying: “Dave has

been 100 per cent supportive and my heroes are all the helpers and supporters that give up their time and donate. It makes

such a difference; with the money they give we can arrange trips and days out and that gives the children happy memories that they can treasure forever. I have no idea what we have raised over the years.” Annette had a dream of retiring to Spain, something that was not originally part of her life plan. “We had just brought my ‘forever home’ in Northern Ireland when a girl came into the bank where I worked with photos of the house her parents had just bought in Spain, and I said to Dave, ‘let’s go to Spain’, and we did. I have no regrets. I like the slower way of life and have made some great friends.” Her retirement may not have happened as Annette now works perhaps harder for the charity than she ever did, but she hopes one day to be able to pass on the reins. But whatever she does, she has left a great legacy in helping improve the lives of many children, showing the generous expat community spirit is alive and well. The charity is now running its Christmas campaign and will be issuing lists of gifts the children would like, which donations will help to buy.

WhatsApp prank could cost jokers a €600,000 fine UNTRUE reports of a terrorist attack in Estepona shared in chat groups 10 FACE / Shutterstock.com

By Steve Walsh BARELY 72 hours had gone by after the Paris attacks last week when, although the headline was badly written, this message caused a panic on WhatsApp: “The next attack will be in Estepona, town in Malaga region in the south of Spain.” The news was untrue, of course, as were the images they used, what social media call ‘a fake’. The message they allegedly put into circulation contained a picture of the front page of a national newspaper with the heading ‘Jihadist terrorism hits France again’ and a headline about a future attack in Estepona However, there was nothing fake about the National Police swinging into action and arresting four youths aged between 19 and 21, who were allegedly responsible for the prank. As the message began to spread on local youths’ WhatsApp groups and youngsters told their parents and teach-

down a 21-year-old Moroccan man and two of his friends allegedly responsible for the spoof. Upon their arrest they claimed it had been a joke.

They were placed in the hands of a court with a view to prosecution for possible crimes of public disorder and were sure to have stopped laughing at the joke when they found out that the new Citizens’ Security Law can include fines of up to €600,000. The police are also investigating another fake message doing the rounds since Monday, claiming an armed jihadist was arrested at Vialia shopping centre in Malaga. This isn’t the first time the police have had to act against this type of message and false alarm. In October 2014, during the Ebola crisis, officers identified a youth who admitted to having made a mock-up about possible contagion at schools in the city and said he did it to scare his sister. Following each of these incidents, the police has asked people to be careful before sharing this type of message without checking whether they are true as they just help to cause panic.

Fake shampoo gang busted 200,000 bottles were produced a month

PRODUCTION PLANT: Police raid one of the warehouses. By Eleanor Hawkins AN IMPORTANT group believed to have made a fortune producing and selling fake shampoo has been broken up on the Costa del Sol by the National Police. With the capacity to produce about 200,000 bottles per month, the group employed a specialist chemist to make the shampoo which was then bottled and labelled

almost exactly the same as a popular brand. It was then sold to wholesalers in Spain and other European, Asian and African countries, the police force reported. After starting to investigate an alleged criminal gang on the Costa del Sol, officers located members in Marbella and discovered they possessed large warehouses where the shampoo was made, bottled and stored

in unhygienic conditions. Following these investigations 11 searches were carried out in Malaga, Cadiz and Alicante provinces and 120,000 bottles of shampoo were confiscated along with machinery, thousands of faked labels, chemical products and five luxury vehicles. Seven people have been arrested and six of them sent to jail to await trial.

A7 exit work out to tender A PROJECT for much-needed work to the Arroyo de la Miel exit from the A7 motorway has been approved by the government and will be put out to tender in the next Official State Bulletin. Companies interested in carrying out the work will be invited to send in their proposals and quotes for the work, which has a total budget of €17.8 million spread over the General State Budgets from 2015 to 2019,

former mayor of Benalmadena Paloma Garcia Galvez and congress candidate Celia Villalobos announced last week. While Victor Navas, current Benalmadena mayor, said the news was good, he mentioned concerns as to whether the work would actually start this time or whether the announcement of a solution to a problem that goes back to 1992 was just for show due to the upcoming general elections.

Be aware of bus scam! IT would appear that there is a new scam on the coast to be aware of which goes along these lines: A car pulls into a bus stop where two or three people are

standing and asks if they are waiting for the bus. The driver then claims that, ‘the bus has broken down and many people are already queuing up at the previous stops.’

The driver then offers to transport the people to their destination. Once the car is under way driver explains this is a ‘private taxi’ and solicits a charge for the journey.

Car pound full to overflowing BUREAUCRACY involved in scrapping or actioning off vehicles responsible for current situation By Steve Walsh MARBELLA’S municipal car pound is fit to burst at the seams. There is no more space and it is on the verge of overflowing due to the number of vehicles that have been sitting there for years waiting to be auctioned off or scrapped. Towing away or removing abandoned cars from city streets is the most effective way of keeping roads and parking spaces free from congestion. It also provides an extra source of revenue for the council in fines. However, if the vehicle is not reclaimed after being in the pound for two months, it can be unregistered and classified for scrap if it is in a bad state, or auctioned off after legal permission is obtained. There are now about 1,200 cars stored under the municipal stadium where the pound is located. It is so overcrowded that cars are starting to be piled up on the pavements outside, defeating the so-called object of the exercise.

CHOCK-A-BLOCK: There are currently about 1,200 vehicles in Marbella’s municipal pound. Moreover, the situation has reached the point where tow-trucks haven’t been towing cars away from the public streets for almost a month (apart from exceptional police orders). The towing company SetexAparki said there are about 600 abandoned vehicles on the streets which need

collecting but there is nowhere to put them. The situation is not a new one, the treasury delegate Manuel Osorio reported. The former council team admitted to the problem and proposed to move the pound to La Ermita industrial estate; however this never hap-

pened. Osorio said: “We said so at the time. At one point 300 parking spaces in the Avenida del Mar underground car park were taken up with impounded vehicles and all down to the laziness of the previous council team,” The current council team com-

plained last summer and said there was a simple solution: “Deal with all the files piling up in drawers and auction cars off or scrap them. That’s what municipal bylaws state should be done, yet it hasn’t been done for years.” While the argument could be made that collecting revenue and fines from towed vehicles that are reclaimed by their owners quickly is profitable, and the administration of mountains of bureaucratic paperwork in scrapping or auctioning vehicles is not, this overcrowding situation is now to be addressed. Both the company and the council have acknowledged the urgency to put an end to the situation as they could both be prosecuted by owners if private vehicles are damaged while left on the street. The council has now put someone in charge of valuing the vehicles and dealing with the files to speed up the process. “It isn’t just one day’s work. This needs time because there are lots of procedures and paperwork for each vehicle,” Osorio said.

Turkey could have trumped bald eagle IT is said that at one time, the turkey and the bald eagle were each considered as the national symbol of America. Benjamin Franklin was one of those who argued passionately on behalf of the turkey. Franklin felt the turkey, although ‘vain and silly’, was a better choice than the bald eagle, which he called ‘a coward’. The bald eagle, a natural predator, triumphed and was declared national bird in June 1782 because of its long life, great strength, majestic look and finally because it was believed at the time to be only found in North America.

Thanksgiving, that most American of celebrations TODAY Americans will sit down with family to share turkey and pumpkin pie By John Smith THE Spanish colonised most of the countries south of ‘America’ as it is now known but are credited with establishing the first actual colony in North America in Florida. For the next 100 years or so, the Spanish expanded their possessions in Florida although during the 18th century, they traded Florida for Cuba with the English. Much is made about the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth in 1620 and tradition has it that Thanksgiving, that most American of celebrations, which takes place on the fourth Thursday of November, is in honour of their arrival.

LIFESAVER: Exports have proved vital for many Malaga businesses. By Declan Scanlan MALAGA’S record-breaking streak in exports continues as the province registered sales to other countries at a value of €1.354 billion between January and September.

This represents 9.2 per cent more than the same period in 2014, according to new figures from the Ministry of Economy and Competition. Malaga already broke records in 2014 by reaching €1.626 billion in exports, which beat the

previous record of €1.493 billion in 2011. If this momentum continues the province is expected to reach €1.750 billion by the end of the year. Since national sales crashed when the recession hit in 2008, the volume of exports from

TORREMOLINOS: One million tourists choose the destination every year.

Costa’s hotels in for €28m revamp INVESTMENT is a ‘show of confidence’ By Declan Scanlan THE good tourism results on the Costa del Sol have sparked a wave of investments in hotel renovations this winter. More than €28 million will be spent on about 30 hotels whose owners will be improving their establishments, according to the Costa del Sol Hoteliers’ Association (Aehcos). The majority of them will be making the most of the quiet season to do the work. In

fact, builders have already started replacing guests and are working at pace. In some cases, entire hotels are set to be refurbished in little more than three months. Aehcos president Jose Carlos Escribano said that this spending is a show of confidence from a sector which has been reinventing itself and adapting with the times for more than 50 years. The investment, he explained, adds on to the €84

million spent last year by hoteliers following a long eightyear recession which saw little improvements for their facilities. The hub of Costa tourism, Torremolinos, is the town where the most hotels have announced renovation work. Ten hotels will be spending almost €6 million on refurbishments in an aim to continue surprising the one million tourists who choose the destination every year.

OJEN: Mountainside ravaged by fire is now set to become an ecology reserve.

Burned mountainside to rise from the ashes ALMOST 100 hectares of mountainside ravaged by fire on the Costa del Sol in 2012, is to be reborn and converted into an ‘ecology reserve’. The project, which is the brainchild of the Pinsapo Ecologist Group in conjunction with the Monte Aventura company, and supported by Ojen Council, has been designed to protect nature and provide somewhere to teach environmental education. The teams that have been working on the project for two

years are now close to seeing their dreams become reality. Their final hurdle is to obtain approval from the Andalucia regional government, which will involve a long process to get everything down on paper and guarantee protection of the area. Antonio Calvo from the project company Pinsapo explained that the area will be: “A living laboratory to study and conserve the different species and a natural classroom to learn

to care for nature.” Placed on a privileged spot between Sierra Blanca and the Costa del Sol, just a few kilometres from Marbella, the land in question is a refuge for wildlife including mouflon (wild sheep), deer, mountain goats, quail, reptiles, with an important presence of Mediterranean flora and fauna. Creating a nature reserve is a win-win solution for Marbella and the Costa del Sol, and a wildlife legacy for the future.

FIRE PLAN: Residential complexes in rural areas must have one in place.

Council stresses need for fire plan COMPLEXES need to draw up self-protection plans By Steve Walsh IN June 2013, Marbella Council approved a revision of the Forest Fire Emergency Plan. This week, two days of meetings at Malaga University have brought home the stark realities and consequences left by the serious forest fire which ravaged thousands of hectares on the Costa del Sol three years ago. During the FuegoRed international conference, which brought together expert investigators on the impact of forest fires on ecosystems and society, Marbella Town Hall spoke about its own battle to get residential complexes in rural areas to meet current regulations and draw up self-protection plans against fire.

Sustainability Councillor for Marbella Miguel Diaz said. “We’re aware of the importance of prevention regarding forest fires and, in this respect, we’re working to try and make complexes and owners of private plots of land meet the regulations.” In Marbella, there are 800 residential complexes and many are in forested areas. Therefore, they must have a plan to put into effect in the case of fire breaking out. The latest data revealed that almost 80 per cent of these areas, which are obliged by law to have a plan, had not drawn one up. After approving the revision in 2013, the town hall encouraged the complexes to draw up their plans. Two years later, just 158 of them had submitted one.

Major drugs gang is rounded up AN alleged drug trafficking and money laundering ring has been broken up and seven people arrested in a Guardia Civil operation. Altogether seven people, three of them Spanish, three French and one Dutch, have been arrested in Coin, Alhaurin el Grande, Marbella and various French cities, the force reported, and all seven have been sent to jail to await trial. Since the gang was first detected in December 2013, a total of 1,010 kilos of hashish, which it allegedly took possession of in Spain and transported to France for larger drug-trafficking organisations,

€24,000 in cash, a lorry and trailer, six cars, 21 mobile phones and paperwork relating to the case have been confiscated. Although the gang remained inactive for some time after three members were arrested in France in December 2013, and relocated up to three times, the police picked up their trail again when they were loading drugs into hidden compartments in vehicles, and intercepted them in Marbella. In an attempt to stay under the radar, the criminal organisation reportedly carried children in the vehicles as passengers, thinking the police would assume they were families with nothing to hide.

Man run over at ITV centre ‘ROAD traffic accident’ happened at the vehicle testing facility in Malaga By Steve Walsh THE Inspeccion Tecnica de Vehículos, or ITV as it is better known, is designed to keep the driving public safe, but on Thursday November 19, while at the new ITV centre on the Guadalhorce Industrial Estate, Malaga, a 45-year-old man was run over. According to a witness, the accident happened in the car park, when the driver of an automatic car put it into reverse to check the reversing lights were working and accidentally ran over a relative who was standing behind the car checking that they did. As the emergency services took the injured man to the Clinico hospital, and the police recorded what must technically be described as a ‘road traffic accident’ within the ITV centre grounds, the management confirmed that the accident had happened in the car park by someone testing their own car before it was officially examined, and stressed that it was before the car entered the inspection lines. This incident caused a further delay to inspections at the centre.

LOCALS made their voice heard at the plenary session.

Still no solution for village square WORK was halted last week by the mayor By Eleanor Hawkins THERE is continuing unrest in Mijas over a project to renovate the Plaza Virgen de la Peña, work on which was halted last week by the village mayor by popular demand. Although Mayor Juan Carlos Maldonado ordered workers to stop after a meeting with local business people due to be affected by the project, which aims to pedestrianise the central square, the council has yet to come up with a solution that will

keep everyone happy. The problem, Works and Infrastructures councillor Jose Carlos Martin explained at the end of month plenary session on Tuesday (November 24), is that the project cannot be modified. Changes to the plans would mean having to draw up a new project and losing the money already spent on the one that has been halted. “We’re trying to find a solution to a problem which sadly doesn’t have one,” the councillor said. Members of

the public and local business owners were given the chance to voice their opinions at the meeting and insisted they were not informed of the exact plans until just days before the work started. “These people are the village’s voice. They cannot speak louder or clearer. We’re here now, but we don’t know if we’ll be here tomorrow and are not the important people in this matter. I agree that we need to sit down together and sort this problem out,” the mayor said afterwards.

OLEG SYROMOLOTOV, the Russian deputy foreign minister, has said that some 160 Russian nationals have been killed while fighting for the ISIS terrorist group Takfiri in Syria. He also stated that a total of 2,719 Russian citizens have been known to fight in the ranks of ISIS.

VW are to recall some 1,906 Beatle, Golf and Jetta cars in Russia. Apparently the recall is not related to the emissions scandal, but concerns an engine component that could fail. This news comes as a further blow to VW in Russia whose sales have fallen by 25 per cent this year.

Navigating space

RUSSIA’S parliament backed a sweeping overhaul of national security, including possibly expanding the powers of the country’s intelligence services, after the Kremlin concluded a bomb downed a Russian passenger plane over Egypt last month.

RUSSIA’S Glonass-M navigation satellite is planned for launch in late December. The Glonass-M will launch from the Plesetsk space centre in north Russia. The satellite will be orbited by a Soyuz-2 carrier rocket and is called, Number 51.

By John Smith PHARMACEUTICAL companies, US-based Pfizer, which manufactures Viagra, and Irelandbased Allergan, which produces Botox, have announced that they wish to merge to become the largest manufacturer of drugs in the world. The only problem for the proposed $160 billion (€150 billion) merger is that it will require regulatory approval from the US and that may not be forthcoming as a number of presidential candidates have been vocal about both price increases in pharmaceuticals and corporations attempting to avoid tax by moving their head offices. The EU has also criticised a number of US corporations including Fiat, Starbucks, Amazon and Google for locating their head offices in countries like Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, and at the latest G20 meeting in Turkey, the leaders of those countries present agreed that they would ensure that these loopholes are closed. Pfizer, which recently tried to take over the British company AstraZeneca, has been critical of US corporation tax legislation and made no secret that one of the attractions of the British company was the tax benefits that it expected to gain. Mergers like Pfizer-Allergan are called tax inversions whereby large American companies buy smaller foreign ones and then in theory switch

Viagra and Botox makers to merge

TAX INVERSION: Pfizer, whose headquarters are in Manhattan, want to merge with Ireland-based Allergan. their headquarters to the location of the smaller one. Whilst the US government will almost certainly object strongly, the Irish government is likely to be in favour of the proposed merger. The US Treasury Department has unveiled new regulations concerning business inversions but

with the forthcoming presidential elections in the US, unless the Democrats end up with a very strong president able to enforce this policy, the regulations may well be ‘toothless’. If the merger does go ahead, it is very unlikely that there will any significant increase in the price

of the drugs produced by either company as history has shown that massive hikes such as that when the cost of Daraprim tablets was increased from $13.50 (€12.70) to $750 (€705) per tablet were due to takeovers from external investment companies rather than established manufacturers.

New discoveries on the Costa del Sol TOP destinations from Malaga to Gibraltar

Calomares Castle in Benalmadena; top right, Marbella Old Town; bottom right, cable car ride over Benalmadena Costa.

By Declan Scanlan SPAIN has much to offer those from other nations looking to find a weekend haven or indeed a new fulltime residence. With about 95 people per square kilometre in Spain, compared to 265 in the UK, many expatriates are looking to find a home in the brighter and more spacious Spanish landscapes. The cities in Spain, famous for shopping and unmatched for bars and restaurants offering culinary delights and wonderful wine, are among the safest in Europe. In the more rural areas, known as the ‘campo’, life eases down a gear and although not as many may speak English in the countryside, people are known to be very friendly. As the land of the festivals, Spain will doubtless have a fi-

esta near you wherever you choose to settle. From the smallest villages to welcoming towns and bustling cities, the country loves to celebrate, so expect a carnival of colour and character to take over the streets at various occasions all through the year. The main airports in Spain link well across Europe with budget flights, and although the majority of buyers from abroad may come for the beach and the sunshine, expatriates are finding new experiences and a new way of life in a land open to discovery. Costa del Sol Malaga Airport is one of the most popular destinations for sunseekers in Europe with flights linking to more than 60 countries. The quality of life on the coast, with an unsurpassed climate, is world famous and is home to a number of the most popular expat

27 kilometres of coastline in Marbella alone and 24 beaches

destinations in the country. The mountains, sandy stretches along the sea and laid-back atmosphere make life in the following areas great for everyone from young professionals to families, to those entering their golden years. Benalmadena Costa is popular first and foremost for its superb beaches, although boat trips, cable car rides, an enchanting castle and a water park are among the other attractions. Benalmadena Pueblo is the old village and even though it

has been developed, the Pueblo is a distinctive and attractive destination for many. Arroyo de la Miel is the town centre and is located between the old village and the coastal area. It is on the Malaga train line and has a busier commercial scene than the Pueblo. Benalmadena Costa is home to the marina and the aquarium, and the coastal region has plenty of hotels, bars and restaurants. Calahonda is located between Marbella and Fuengirola and is in fact a part of La Cala de Mijas. There is less of a city atmosphere and more of a rural flavour along this stretch of the coast, and alongside the developments are plenty of green areas. Malaga City offers visitors an entrancing historic centre to meander through, a Gothic cathedral, an 11th-century Gibralfaro castle and tapas

bars and restaurants. It has more museums than any other Andalucian city with such attractions as the Revello del Toro Museum, the Thyssen Museum and of course the Picasso Museum. Marbella is a leading tourist attraction in the country and along with its 27 kilometres of coastline and 24 beaches, its ports are known and visited by sailing enthusiasts across Spain. Take in the colourful Plaza de los Naranjos in the winding streets of the old town before wandering around the area’s shopping districts and art galleries. Sotogrande is in the municipality of San Roque and is among the most renowned sports and residential developments at the top end of the European market. Having been home to some of Spain’s and Europe’s politicians and

celebrities, Sotogrande is perhaps most famous for its sporting facilities. Mijas is the famous white village located 428 metres above sea level in a beautiful mountain setting. Take a donkey ride to see the sights among the evergreen pine trees. Mijas Golf is one of the most prominent golf complexes in Europe, and down on Mijas coast the atmosphere is great in the bustling tourist resort. Gibraltar is The Rock, called after the 426-metrehigh Jurassic limestone ridge which is one of the most remarkable attractions in Spain, and the home of British nostalgia. After you visit the Barbary Macaque monkeys and the Gibraltar tunnels, it’s time to stop off at a fish and chip shop or English pub for a uniquely yesteryear experience.

ESTEPONA: Retains its traditional charm.

Estepona is popular choice for foreign buyers but retains traditional charm MORE than typical beach culture, it also offers the Orchid House botanical gardens with 8,000 different species ESTEPONA was fought over by the Moors and the Christians until it was finally captured by Enrique IV of Castile in 1457. He ordered t h e b u i l d i n g o f a church on the site of the old

Mosque and it was from around this church that the community began to grow. It has continually develo p ed o v e r th e ce n tu rie s since then but it is still one of the few coastal towns on

the Costa del Sol that has ma na ge d to ma inta in its pueblo charm and traditional character of a typical Andalucian village. Now, with the arrival of mass tourism, modern facilities such as

hotels and leisure activities sit alongside the traditional street cafes and tapas bars. With its close destination to the popular resorts of Marbella, Puerto Banus and Sotogrande, many choose to holiday in Estepona, making it a great location for thos e w a nting the ir ow n holiday home or a property to rent out as an investment.

Home sales surging in the Malaga Province HOME sales in Malaga Province are on the up and it is used homes that are out in front in the market. The number of sales at the end of the third quarter of 2015 almost surpassed the number of sales in any other quarter of the last eight years. Up to the end of September the province registered a total of 18,869 sales, 15.7 per cent more than the same period in 2014, according to the latest data from the National Statistics Institute. Eight out of 10 (14,686) sales were of previously owned homes, a sector which has experienced a 52 per cent increase compared to 2014 figures. This data reveals that sales by independent owners as well as properties controlled by bankowned estate agencies (repossessed flats which are categorised as second-hand flats for statistics) are those which now dominate the market. On the other hand, new homes have one of the lowest sales rates as private developers are waiting for the stock of existing property to fall back to pre-recession numbers before they start on new projects. So far the only areas where many new building projects have been registered are Mar-

MARINA: Nueva Andalucia is just minutes from the popular Puerto Banus marina.

Close to glitz and glam, but with community feel NUEVA Andalucia is a popular residential area THE residential area of Nueva Andalucia is a relatively new development. It is ideally situated close to the holiday hotspot of Puerto Banus and within a 10 minute drive of Marbella, making it a highly sought after area for house buyers wishing to be close to the glitz and glamour but in a real community feel area. Whilst it is more residential than a town, it still has all the facilities and amenities you would expect making it an ideal area to explore the area further.

Upon entrance to Nueva Andalucia you pass by the bullring behind the Puerto Banus Casino and the Andalucia Plaza Hotel. On Saturdays the bullring is the location for a vast street market and the road carries up into the Commercial Central Plaza that consists of a series of shops, a supermarket, bars, a gym and several restaurants. Despite being a purpose built development, much of the architecture is still largely in Andalucian style, with a gener-

ous mix of properties to suit all budgets from modest apartments set amidst gated communities with communal gardens and pools, to the large sprawling villas located in the prestigious residential zone of Aloha. The area is perfect for golfers with four top golf courses right on your doorstep, including Las Brisas, Los Naranjos, Aloha Golf and La Dama de Noche, which is floodlit for a spot of midnight golf.

Luxury home market still going strong THE luxury real estate market is going strong and in the first part of 2015, Marbella has managed to consolidate the growth it has been built up over the last year. The data was provided by the latest market report drawn up by Lucas Fox International Properties, a specialised international luxury property agency, and it shows that Barcelona, Ibiza and Marbella are still the top choices for luxury property buyers, especially those from overseas. The luxury property market showed significant signs of recovery in the first half of the year and the number of transactions has

increased every month according to the report. In the last half of 2014, 209 luxury homes worth more than â&#x201A;Ź900,000 were sold on the Malaga coasts and this made up 10.7 per cent of all luxury home sales in Spain in 2014. The study by Lucas Fox, which has had a presence in Marbella for a few years, found that half the buyers in the city intended to use the property they had bought as a holiday home and one third intended to live in it all year round. The study also found that the levels of investment from overseas remained constant while interest from local buyers increased.

A fine example on the Costa

Style and luxury is on form in Sotogrande

CALAHONDA defines the Costa del Sol. Blessed with beautiful weather and straddling a thin strip of land between rugged mountains and the Mediterranean Sea the area is now witnessing renewed interest in investment, particularly from families, couples and retirees, it is also a favourite for golf enthusiasts with plenty of top class courses close by. The area attracts plenty of tourists each year and even though there is a heavy investment in particular from British buyers, it has maintained its traditional Spanish charm that brought people here in the first place. With a wide variety of reasonably priced properties and close proximity to Malaga airport interest continues to grow as the property market recovers.

HOME to properties with the highest quality and finish SOTOGRANDE; synonymous with style, sophistication and of course polo, it is the go to place for those looking for a little luxury. Around 90 minutes from Malaga airport and 45 minutes from Gibraltar airport, Sotogrande actually lies within the municipality of San Roque in Cadiz Province and is famed for being one of the most luxurious sports and residential developments in Europe across a 2,500 hectare site. It is home to properties with the highest quality and finish, with the development encompassing a very American feel with a sprawling suburban feel with wide avenues lined by large prestigious properties. As you would expect on such a renowned urbanisation, the homes are surrounded by all the facilities you would need and want: shopping, sporting activities, restaurants, as well as international schools and summer programmes for children of all ages, making it a popular choice for those looking for a permanent or holiday home in the Sotogrande sunshine.

Smartening itself up

SOTOGRANDE: Home of polo’s elite. Sotogrande doesn’t just boast beautiful homes for sale; it is a haven for sports fans with golf, fishing, boating from the 550,000 square metre marina and pretty beaches and a local nature park all close by. However, it is perhaps best known for polo and the famous Santa Maria Polo

Club, often called the ‘Wimbledon of polo pitches.’ Players from the international jet set visit from all over Europe to play throughout the year and August is the peak season. Sotogrande offers a unique experience for residents and visitors alike.

TORREMOLINOS was once the firm favourite with Northern holidaymakers looking for some fun in the sun. However it went through a period of decline but recently, after investing in attractions and smartening up its image, renovating its touristic offer it has become once again a popular town, both with holiday makers and investors. As with Benidorm further north, it has managed to shake the bad name and is now something of a popular gay resort, but has expanded its offering, adding familyfriendly attractions, traditional charm and a wider choice of commercial and investment opportunities than before. Its close proximity to Malaga airport, its impeccable beaches, lively and busy promenade and improved and renovated architecture, hotels and properties, it is once again an attractive offer. It’s a favourite with Spaniards and Brits looking to bag a bargain.

Marbella property market very strong making it the leading city COUPLED with excellent municipal services and security, leisure and sporting activities, Marbella is a year round resort THE Marbella area property market improved in sales volume from 2012 to 2013 by more than 22 per cent, but this figure was similar in 2013, and the sales volume increased even more in annual terms during the first half of 2014, making Marbella the leading city in all of Spain in sales volume growth. The reason for this is clearly because, even though the economy in Spain is slowly crawling out of its own economic and in particular property crisis, the demand for property purchase in Marbella is over 85 per cent comprised of foreign purchasers, therefore this area is not as dependent on the national economy. There is an important conclusion with respect to the Marbella of today: there is a virtually universal opinion of those who have watched and measured the evolution of this area for many years, that Marbella is, right at this moment, at the dawn of a new Golden Age, which, all other factors being equal, will last for many years to come. One must remember that this southernmost point in Europe provides the best climate in the whole Mediterranean Basin. Marbella has

Coupled with excellent municipal services

and security, its wonderful infrastructure, golf courses and other sporting facilities, leisure ports, and great restaurants, these factors all add together to make Marbella the only resort area with a 12 month season. This is precisely why Marbella attracts quality people from

all over Europe and the rest of the world. The market probably touched bottom in Marbella in 2008/2009, Banco Sabadell recently announced â&#x20AC;&#x153;The property market crisis is over,â&#x20AC;? and will not be further reducing the prices of the properties they are selling. Tourism, which is the principle source of quality real estate clients, has already broken records in the first half year, and is set to increase even more in the last half, as Marbella is regarded as a very safe, quality haven within the protection of the European Union, compared with many other destinations today. There are literally hundreds of press articles published in the last six months, with good news about the strong recovery in Marbella and the beginning of recovery in Spain itself. Indeed, the property crisis in this area is finally over, at least with respect to sales volume, steadily increasing for over two and a half years. We have seen a trend developing for apartments that are beachside or at least walking distance to the beach and amenities. Or in fact at the other end of the scale older villas requiring refurbishment allowing purchases to develop their own dream home in the sun!

GREAT TIME TO BUY: Although prices are rising, there are still many great bargains to be had on the Costa del Sol.

The future is bright for the property market on the Costa del Sol SPAIN is out of the doldrums and back to robust health By Eleanor Hawkins ALL across Spain - and particularly on the Costa del Sol - the property market is once again m o v i n g f o r wa r d , c o n fid en t o f a promising future. There have been regular but tentative declarations of improvement for the past few years or so, with various experts and organisations gleaning from their data that prices are again rising and that sales are on the up. News emerging from the Spanish property market has been positive over the last 12 months, and buyers - particularly from abroad - have for the past few years been snapping up bargain-priced properties while prices have been low.

Buyers are returning to Spain to take advantage of massively-reduced prices

The general consensus among real estate agents on the ground is that business has undoubtedly picked up again, with more clients viewing properties and more sales going ahead. Statistics are backing this up. Prices have risen for the last six consecutive quarters, according to Spanish registrars, indicating that the market is on the up. They say that house prices have risen by 6.6 per cent in the last year, as vendors see that buyers have been returning to Spain to take advantage of massively-reduced prices in some areas.

Figures from VIVA, one of the Costa del Sol’s biggest and best-known real estate ag en cie s , a re c ha ra c te ris tic of a n e ve rimproving market. “We have definitely seen things steadily improving in terms of the amount of enquiries and number of sales,” commented Martina Heynemann, VIVA Managing Partner. “T h e l a s t c ouple of ye a rs ha ve s e e n a large increase in the number of clients coming through our doors and buying a p ro p e rty. A lthough it’s ma inly fore ign customers, Spaniards are buying again too, thanks to Spanish banks once again granting mo rtg age s (a nd improve d e mployme nt figures). “This is great news not just for Spaniards, but for foreign buyers too. It’s now much easier to get financing in Spain and there are many attractive options for overseas buyers wanting to take out a loan here in Spain. “On the whole, the market is definitely busier and more active than it has been for many years,” Martina explained. VIVA’s own statistics reveal that since the beginning of 2013, their total number of clients and the traffic to their website have both increased by a hugely significant 70 per cent. T h is ups urge is in line w ith data on a national scale. Virtually everywhere in Spain, agents are reporting higher figures across the board and improved activity.

There are a number of reasons why the Spanish property market has recovered so well. Confidence has returned after the

nervy period of the economic crisis, and with unrest in some other parts of the world, buyers are coupling security with comfortable familiarity when it comes to deciding where to buy. Spain fits the bill. The large number of bargain-priced properties that came onto the Spanish market in the crisis years attracted many, and British buyers in particular have been able to avail themselves of an extremely favourable exchange rate of late. With a current exchange rate hovering around the £1=€1.43, buyers from the UK can get much more bang for their buck at the moment. A budget of £250,000 equal s near l y €360,000* - a princely sum that will purchase an extremely comfortable property. Al l t hese f act or s have hel ped l i f t the Spanish property market out of t he dol dr um s and back t o r obust health. “Things are steadily improving all the time,” said Martina. She added: “We at VI VA have weathered the storm and are going from strength to strength. The future is looking bright and we’re excited about what it will bring. “Although prices are increasing again there are still many great bargains to be had on the Costa del Sol. There really has never been a better time to buy!”

The new way to park your money for high yield and regular income CAR PARK investment allows for greater accessibility given its lower investment entry levels MOST favoured in the market currently is the demand for car parks, which allows for greater accessibility and a high yielding, regular income. With the majority of commercial property investments normally only available to the big property players, car park purchases allow for greater accessibility given their lower entry level.

The market has regained its strength with strong demand persisting for welllocated spaces Car parks have been a long standing, high yielding corporate investment, offering below market entry levels, guaranteed returns and structured exit options. This is becoming more recognised internationally, within the likes of the UK, Dubai, Hong Kong and Ireland, all gaining investor appeal and reporting on high-performing car park purchases. Demand for car parks within the UK is particularly gaining momentum as investors capitalise on the regular income stream this presents. According to London Reuters, Europe’s commercial property market recorded its biggest increase within the commercial property sales since 2007. Furthermore, in a recent article released this month it was published that Britain’s most expensive car parking space went on sale for nearly £500,000, almost twice as much as the average UK house. Dubai continues to receive particular interest within the commercial property sector for both car parking spaces and business centres as strong business activity is fuelling demand. With a growing appetite for commercial office space in Dubai, this subsequently has an impact on the requirement for car park spaces, creating a captive audience. According to Steve Morgan, Chief Executive of Cluttons, Middle East: “The market has regained its strength with strong demand per-

sisting for well-located spaces. Across the business sectors, the office market remains very active in all segments. We have recorded a steady rise in take up by both existing and new occupiers, with the banking and financial services, real

estate and aviation sectors being most notable.” The potential within the Dubai market continues to improve and an increasing amount of internationally renowned blue-chip companies are setting up base in the Emirates to

take advantage of the clientele and commercial trading opportunities. Dubai’s GDP peaked at 4.4 per cent last year, recording its highest growth since May 2009; these figures are projected to increase to 4.5 per cent this year and expected to

be more than the global growth forecast and predominantly driven by the diversity and recovery within the overall economy. Positive results have been witnessed in Dubai’s banking sector with an increase recorded of 0.4 per cent across Dubai’s Financial Market General Index, further endorsing the strong position of Dubai and Abu Dhabi as they enter what is set to be an encouraging growth year for the Emirates. In addition to the strong foundations Dubai has set for the year, the tourism sector continues to gain wide appeal. Tourists flock to the Emirates for the fabulous shopping, iconic landmarks, fine dining, Arabian experiences, adventures, souks and so much more. It really does offer it all. With the success of Expo 2020, it’s likely to further boost the attractiveness for overseas companies looking to invest in the Middle East, the event that is expected to attract north of five million visitors; they are already on track to achieve their goal of attracting 20 million visitors to Dubai by 2020 and being the most visited city in the world. Best Offshore Solutions Best Offshore Solutions represent the Best Group (UK regulated Asset Manager) in the offshore market. The group manages over 10,000 car parking spaces worldwide. Simon Vooght, Director of Best Offshore Solutions, said: “We are seeing investment into car parks in Dubai from all over the globe, with the pace they are selling we are due to run out. Best are adding to the portfolio all the time but cannot keep up with the demand from investors.”

With more than 200,000m2 square, it includes paved walkways, a large artificial lake with ducks, swans, fish and turtles, play parks, bars and restaurants, rest areas and enclosures with different animal species. You will be able to see peacocks, chickens and rabbits crossing your path as you walk around or enjoy sitting on the grass to watch the world go by. The park has numerous species of trees and flowers and a cactus garden. It is an ideal place to visit on a summer afternoon. TripAdvisor names it amongst the 25 most beautiful parks in Europe and it is a popular location for wedding photographs.

The laid-back atmosphere and peacefulness in Mijas is a welcome break for many looking to escape the hussle and bustle of the coast.

It remains a firm favourite with expats looking for a peaceful, picturesque place in which to purchase their dream retirement property in the sun.

THE Costa del Sol has a variety of marinas and ports, which are popular with sailors and land-lovers alike, as they bring together the beauty and serenity of the water with the buzz of commercial activity. Starting in the centre of the Costa del Sol, we have Malaga Port, which dates back to the 10th century BC, in Phoenician times, and has certainly undergone many transformations to keep up with trends. It has been thoroughly modernised in recent years and the ‘Muelle Uno’ (Pier One) is now one of the trendiest areas in the city, with an open air shopping centre and the new Pompidou Centre. It also boasts a number of restaurants for all tastes. Further along the coast is Benalmadena’s Puerto Marina, which also has a large number of shops and restaurants of all kinds, as well as the popular Sea Life Aquarium. With walkways close to the ships moored there, and views to the sea, it makes an ideal place for enjoying a stroll and some dining. Benalmadena’s marina has been named as ‘The Best Marina in the World’ by international magazines specialised in the matter, but it is also one of the main nightlife areas on the Costa del Sol,

Benalmadena: at the very heart of the Costa del Sol WELL connected by road and public transport and spread over three areas BENALMADENA is located approximately 22 kilometres from Malaga City between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, in the heart of the Costa del Sol. It is well connected by road and public transport and has a population of around 66,000 people spread over a total surface of 27km2 in three areas. It has been inhabited since prehistoric times and experienced remarkable development under Muslim domination. But that ‘golden’ period ground to a halt after it was joined to the Catholic Crown of Castilla in 1485 when natural disasters and pirate raids combined to destroy the prosperity of the area. It was not until the paper industry and vineyard cultivation reactivated the local economy during the 18th and 19th centuries that the town started to prosper again.

In 1784, the Italian Felix Solesio bought the farm ‘Arroyo de la Miel’ (honey stream) to build several paper factories to supply the Royal Factory of Playing Cards in Macharaviaya, in the Axarquia area, which mainly supplied the American market. Building began around the factories and the area expanded. In the 19th century, the town grew through the production of muscatel grapes for wine production, but the vine plague, phylloxera, ruined crops throughout the province, while malaria, typhoid and cholera undermined the population, knocking the town back again. Benalmadena Pueblo, the

STUPA: Largest in the Western world. COLOMARES CASTLE: Above right. original village, lies about three kilometres inland at approximately 200m above sea level. It combines the traditional whitewashed Andalucian village with recent buildings in modern architectural styles.

The town hall is located in the ‘pueblo.’ Benalmadena Costa, is the coastal area with discos, hotels, 20 kilometres of beaches, shopping centres and the popular marina. Arroyo de la Miel was origi-

nally a separate village and is located between the other two areas. It has become the main residential area and also the most commercially active. It owes its name to the number of beehives which could once be found in the area. The municipality’s population boom began with the arrival of the train, and, in the 1950s, with the development of mass tourism on the Spanish coast. The climate is typically Mediterranean, with mild temperatures throughout the year, no frost in the colder months and an average temperature of 19ºC. The location of Arroyo de la Miel in particular means

that there can be strong winds. Benalmadena Pueblo has the largest example of a Buddhist stupa in the Western world, built in 2003, as well as an archaeological museum of PreColombian art and a butterfly park. Arroyo de la Miel has the Costa del Sol’s only real ice skating rink, as well as Selwo Marina, the cable car to the top of the 771-metre Calamorro Mountain and the Tivoli World amusement park. Benalmadena Costa has the marina, the Sea Life Aquarium, Paloma Park with extensive green areas, trees and plant species, a lake and animals running wild; the suprising Colomares Castle, which pays homage to Christopher Columbus and was built between 1987 and 1994 by a local doctor; an exhibition centre, auditorium and the Bil-Bil Cultural Centre.

QUALITY PROPERTIES: Are selling very quickly as are new developments.

Market expanding in Costa del Sol BRITISH are benefiting from overall recovery at home By John Smith IN our discussions with real estate agents on the Costa del Sol a number of interesting points have emerged which seem to be agreed by most. Naturally, agents earn their money by seeing the sale of properties, so it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily in their interests to admit if a market is poor, but in the Costa, all those we have spoken to say that good quality properties are selling very quickly as are new developments.

The British are benefiting from overall recovery at home and with the pound almost as strong as it was against the euro when the peseta was phased out, prices are looking more attractive. There is a combination of investment and holiday purchase and a lot more purchasers are being seen as the banks are offering very good mortgage rates and excellent deals for residents and non-residents which is resulting in a rise in prices. This is a good time to be investing in property in the hot spot areas in Spain.

Barcelona flat rents out at €35,000 per month to a member of royal family AN apartment in Barcelona has been rented out for €35,000 a month in what is thought to be the most expensive residential property for rent in the city. The 500 square metre property which has a 300 square metre terrace has been rented out by a member of a royal family in the Middle

East and is located on the Paseo de Gracia in the city centre. The property rental was managed by Prestige Barcelona, a subsidiary of Coldwell Banker Espana and the apartment, which had a luxurious renovation three years ago, is also on sale for the princely sum of €12 million.

2015 an important and p for the Spanish property m

FOR the first time in eight years, prices have stopped falling and have now stabilised an By John Graham AS we draw closer to the end of 2015 it’s a good time to take stock of how the property market is performing in Spain and the prospects for 2016. Let’s take a look at where we are today since the global financial crisis in late 2008, which caught everyone out, including financial experts by surprise and has had a negative effect on property sales and values throughout Spain. Everyone uses 2007 property sales figures as the benchmark, but I think this was a time of mindless speculation combined with the oversupply of cheap mortgages, 100 per cent mortgages or more being the norm. Spain’s property industry was out of control and reminds me of the tulip investment crash in

SALES FIGURES: So far in 2015 are outselling 2014. the Netherlands. You could buy a house with one tulip bulb and the next day the tulip bulb was a worthless investment. In 2013, around 300,000 properties were sold throughout

Spain and in 2014 just under 320,000 properties were sold. The sales figures in 2015 so far are outselling 2014 with September 2015 showing a substantial increase on September

2014, so 2015 total property sales figures should be higher than 2014 but we will have to wait for the final numbers. In 2015 we have reached some very important milestones

nd in some regions have increased which have helped property sales in 2015 and will continue to help sales in 2016. Firstly, the Spanish economy has surprised Europe’s financial experts. Spain’s economy is performing better than forecast for 2015 boasting one of Europe’s highest annual GDP of around 3.2 per cent, an amazing achievement. Throughout 2015 interest rates continued to stay at a record low and inflation is also very low. For the first time in eight years property prices in 2015 have stopped falling and have now stabilised, in fact in several regions of Spain property and land prices have increased. In 2015 property buyers’ confidence levels have continued to be high and non-Spanish buyers continue to dominate property sales in several regions of Spain.

In some cases non-Spanish buyers represent up to 40 per cent of the total property sales in many regions such as, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Valencia Region, Murcia Region and the Costa del Sol. In 2014 non-Spanish buyers accounted for around 17 per cent of the total properties sold in Spain, the highest percentage since 2007. One interesting statistic has emerged and that is in 2014 and 2015 the majority of luxury properties in Spain were purchased by non-Spanish buyers. In the first three quarters of 2015 we see something important happening in the property sector. The start of the recovery in the construction industry in Spain, with the highest increase in new building licences granted since 2012.

An excellent choice of luxury property on offer LAST week a friend of mine who owns a top real estate agency in Chelsea London arrived for a quick visit to the Costa del Sol, it was actually his first time in Marbella. He was very curious and wanted to see for himself the quality of the luxury properties and a few prime locations on Costa de Sol. I had the feeling he was skeptical that we wouldn’t meet his high standards. He booked into the fabulous Hotel Puente Romano on Marbella’s Golden Mile and I took him to Dani Garcia’s two Michelin star restaurant, which is as good as any restaurant in London and my friend was suitably impressed. We set off after breakfast to look at a small selection of properties that he would be offering his HNWI customers in Chelsea & Kensington. My friend and I are both UK qualified surveyors and he was surprised that I am one of only a few UK qualified surveyors offering a real estate service on the Costa del Sol.

In London all the managing directors or owners of top real estate agencies are either qualified surveyors or have directors that are qualified surveyors. This gave him confidence that by working with me, his customers would receive one of the best professional services available on the Costa del Sol.

My friend was impressed with the quality. Our first stop was Sierra Blanca and surrounding areas, the designs of the villas are impressive as are the amazing sea and mountain views. Los Monteros offers an excellent choice of apartments and we visited an excellent penthouse on the beach complex near to the luxurious Los Monteros Hotel. Orange Square in Marbella’s old town cannot be missed so we stopped for a coffee, then off along the Golden Mile with

its wonderful selection of resale and new villas and apartments, it is definitely one of the prime locations on the Costa del Sol and home to the world famous Marbella Club Hotel. Property in Puerto Banus is unique with its traditional Andalucian style apartments and new build villas and apartments in the surrounding area offering a great selection. A few minutes from Puerto Banus is the golf valley with its four exclusive golf clubs, property here is a mix of high quality villas and gated apartment complexes, probably one of the most popular locations in Marbella right now. We travelled up the Ronda road to the gated community of La Zagaleta to visit a few of the luxury villas, security at the entrance is strict but once inside you feel part of the multi-millionaires club. My friend was very impressed with the luxury properties on offer on the Costa del Sol, especially the quality of the new properties.

France and UK draw Spaniards A REPORT on overseas property owned by Spanish people has shown that half of all of the overseas assets are to be found in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Portugal, with the total global property ownership coming in at a value of €9.2 billion. The data was put together by the Inland Revenue in Spain by evaluating the declaration of assets in other countries as accounted for in the ‘Modelo 720’ tax forms. France is where the most Spaniards have homes abroad with the country showing a value of €1.7 billion. The United Kingdom is next at €1.4 billion, with Germany at €727.6 million and Portugal €682.3 million of the total. Lastly, in the United States, Spanish people have declared assets of €374 million.

Satellite dishes up, on or out OWNERS or tenants on communities must inform the community of their intentions Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

It is quite common for municipal authorities to prohibit satellite dishes being mounted on the façade of a building. • Article 20.1 paragraph d. of the Spanish Supreme Law, essentially gives all viewers a constitutional right to be able to watch television. The law of horizontal property, article 17.1 stipulates the conditions for the installations. • When a community wishes to install a communal telecommunication (TV) system that everyone can connect to, then only one third of the community, representing one

third of the total property need to vote in favour of the installation for it to go ahead. However misunderstandings arise when a system is for private use and not for the whole community and in the case of a satellite dish whether it can be mounted on the façade of the building. • Royal Decree 346/2011 covers this situation. In an apartment block for example where there is no communal TV system and there are no plans to install one, it follows that one of the ways for an owner or tenant to receive TV is to put in their own satellite dish. Before starting work however, the owner or tenant must inform the community of their intentions, and provide the cor-

rect documentation. This should be a description of the installation and its technical specifications and if needed permission and building licences from the local town hall. In addition, the applicant must provide a written letter absolving the community of all responsibility for the security and maintenance of the installation. • On receiving the application the community has 15 days to respond to the applicant. There are several probable answers. The president simply approves the request. The community denies the request because they intend to install a communal system within three months. However should the community fail to install the communal system within the three months, then the applicant would be entitled to proceed with their own installation. The community could also deny an application if the documentation presented is not valid or is incomplete. For example if there is no work licence or authorisation from the town hall and finally the community denies the application as presented, but provides an alternative solution for implementing an installation.

• If an owner or tenant puts in a private installation without complying with the necessary requirements then they run the risk of being taken to court and having their system removed. • If the community fails to respond to a request within 15 days then the applicant may consider their request as approved and carry on. The dish or antenna can be placed in any communal area, for example on the roof or mounted on the façade of the building, provided it does not interfere with the other owners rights and is not detrimental to the security of the building in general. • It is quite common for municipal authorities to prohibit satellite dishes being mounted on the façade of a building. If this is the case they will all have to be removed and either relocated or the community will need to install a communal system. Likewise should the number of private installations exceed one third of the total number of apartments and houses in the community, then it will be compulsory for the community to install a communal system. The owners of the private antennas and satellite dishes etc will have to have them removed and should bear the costs of doing so.

DESPITE the recent shift to watching television over the Internet, many viewers, especially foreign residents, are still dependent on satellite dishes to receive their favourite TV programmes. However there is still a degree of controversy about who, how and when a satellite dish can be installed and when not.

MORTGAGE PAYMENTS: The average monthly loan payment is around €760.

New mortgage report reveals buyer profiles GOLDMAN SACHS FINANCIAL has carried out a study on about 600 mortgage transactions and found some interesting information on mortgages in Spain. According to data compiled by the financial advisors company, 80 per cent of the applicants for mortgage loans were couples and the average value of loans comes in at approximately €130,000 in Madrid or Barcelona, and €89,000 outside those two cities. The vast majority, 90 per cent, had a variable rate interest loan and of these, 75 per cent came under a 30 year repayment plan. The ultimate finding from these details is that the average monthly loan payments in Spain are around €760.

General Director of the company José Luis Vera said that buyers have recently become a lot more sensible and described the buyer mentality now as “significantly different to what it was in the years prior to the crisis.” “On average we are seeing a more adult buyer, with a greater level of job stability, in 80 per cent of national cases, who are buying in couples to minimise the impact of the cost on their budget,” Vera added. On the other hand, the report shows the difference between Spain and much of the rest of Europe in that about 90 per cent of Spanish people are still opting for a variable interest type of loan. This kind of loan is certainly not without its risks.

Would France show such solidarity? HOPEFULLY the nation’s historic disregard for the British would change LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT AS tragic as the Paris attacks were, and utterly sharing the pain and anguish felt by the French nation, I couldn’t help wondering what would have happened had the boot been on the other foot and the attacks happened on British soil. Would we have received the tremendous influx of sympathy and solidarity from a country that quite frankly seizes every opportunity to let us know just how much they actually dislike us? Would they have projected the Union Jack on to their prominent buildings or superimposed our flag over their Facebook profiles? In all honesty can you really envisage the French footballers raising their voices in a lusty rendition of God Save the Queen at the start of their premier division matches? Mmmm! Let’s just hope as this awful event fades a little in their memories, the French think again when they decide to prevent our supplies coming through Calais; try just a little harder to

SEND IN THE ARMY! Let the UK follow Belgium’s example. control the immigrant problem and not be quite so rude when they realise we are English.

And so, as prophesied, the conflict begins. Belgium, the country that Muslims have bragged will be the first Muslim controlled

country in Europe, has finally, in the wake of the French terrorist attacks, decided to do something about it. They are sending troops into the no-go areas these people have been allowed to create; making arrests across the board and generally conveying to these intruders that their alien culture and ideals will not be accepted quite as easily as they have so far envisaged. Good. I now suggest Britain does exactly the same. With the latest study revealing that one in every five Muslims is an ISIS sympathiser, I think the scale of the problem should finally be coming home to even the most complacent of ostriches and do-gooders who have whimpered us into the position where we now find ourselves. Send in the army! Root out the suspects and hope that their fellow conspirators take up arms. Bring the whole thing to a head. ‘Martyr’ as many as possible and let us all get back to the tranquillity of our own culture and peaceful existence. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

As Leapy Lee said... What on earth are they thinking? I WAS in Benidorm for the festival and worked there for many years in the music business until 2011. I read your articles regularly and, although you proved to be right on many occasions, I was always amazed by the do-gooders who fervently disagreed with you. After your article this week I wonder what they will say now after the atrocities in Paris. I’ve been espousing the same theories about the ‘refugees’ but being a Londoner living in Ireland not much notice was taken of me. Now it’s been proven that at least two of these terrorists came through Lesbos; well, as you say, what on earth are they thinking? I fear though Leapy we’re fighting a losing battle. ISIS are already here thanks to the do-gooders. They have the audacity to call us racist and, I fear, a lot of the do-gooders are in the media. They should share the blame for the bloodbath in Paris. Keep the faith Hayden M (via email)

Naive talk CREDIT where credit is due, I was poised to do the unthinkable and that was to agree with Leapy Lee on his article about Loose Women, until I saw Mike’s letter on bad service in the Letters page last week. His final sentence, and I quote: “That’s what you get when you give workers too many rights,” made me laugh out loud. What an antiquated opinion! I know, let’s get Correos to go back to deliveries on donkeys. Tie those workers with too many rights to the gun carriage wheels and flog them to within an inch of their lives, if any mistakes are made. Without even knowing the incident he’s prattling on about, his crass assessment of the workers in this day and age is a testament to the writer’s lack of management skills to even talk like that, and is naive, to say the least. Philip, San Fulgencio (via email)

Brexit fear I WOULD like to comment on Gibraltarian Minister Fabian Picardo’s

Photographs for possible publication should be sent by email with a full caption to: photonews@euroweeklynews.com

A history of helping READERS comment frequently on the subject of immigrants from both Europe, ‘EU’ and elsewhere, often taking an ‘anti’ stance. Is geography and history no longer taught in our schools? Firstly, those from the war-torn Middle East. How can caring and humanitarian individuals not want to give refuge from the horrors of the dreadful wars in Syria and Afghanistan? For sure, there will be an element we can do without; however, the majority genuinely need the help offered within Britain and the other EU countries. Comments from the ‘against brigade’ are many and varied such as: ‘Charity begins at home’, ‘many homeless and hungry’, ‘unemployment’, etc. I honestly feel that these shallow excuses reflect the rantings of the extreme right, or just plain ignorance. Britain has a long history of assisting those in need, particularly from Eastern Europe and indeed worldwide. Let us not forget the many people from our Commonwealth of Nations who laid down their lives to maintain our way of life and culture. Do those who are against our help to those in need, recall the days of our involvement in creating the map of the Middle East? Do they ever consider how it came about that circa half the world speaks English as their first language? Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Pacific Islands, South America (Guyana), Central America (Belize), all of North America/Canada, India, etc! What a rich cultural heritage immigrants from all over the world have given to Britain. Find a place in your hearts for those who genuinely need our help. Remember, we imposed our religion, our language, and our culture on a worldwide basis. We have the capacity to absorb a little bit of others. Kebabs or curry tonight? John, a citizen of the world

fear that Brexit would mean the loss of trade and jobs. But why should that be so? We are surely not seeking to rescind the common market membership, as it applies to trade, only the political union aspects of membership. The public generally has no desire to go in deeper and

wishes to be free of being run by unelected civil servants controlled by Germany and France, both of whom have a history of attempted colonisation of the continent. There is surely no risk of the EU imposing tariffs on UK imports. Trade is two-way and neither Germany nor

France can wish to see retaliation tariffs in the UK on, for instance, cars, where the UK is a very major market for companies like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen and Renault. Peter W, Gibraltar (via email)

Ticket waste Re: Caminito del Rey FRIENDS of mine visited the walk last week with prior reservations and were surprised to find it practically deserted, yet would-be walkers were being turned away as they had no prebooked times. Despite the demand it seems the lack of availability is entirely due to the tickets having been allocated to the local restaurants, who are failing to pass them on to the public. What a disgrace! I have managed to get four tickets for late November, the limit for any one booking, but was not able to get any for November 6 when I had visitors keen to do this walk. It is showing fully booked, but I now wonder if there really will be any takers or if the tickets will be sitting in a restaurant somewhere wasted. I really think this is an issue that should be investigated and shown up for what it is. One has to wonder if the restaurants are paying for their monopoly of what is an essentially free attraction.

France help? Re: France and the Falklands INTERESTING that France is requesting help from the EU in this matter. How did France help the UK in the ‘conflict’ over the Falklands? If memory serves me right, France assisted the Argentinians by selling them Exocet missiles (used to sink our warships) via a third party. ISIS must be rooted out and destroyed, but surely France could make the gesture of apologising to the families of the British servicemen killed by Exocets in the Falklands? Harry Paine (via website)

YOUR STARS CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Romance will find you this week if only you are in the right frame of mind. You may be inclined to refuse festive social gatherings that hold no prospects for you, but don't close the door on anything. The right kind of companions are sometimes found in the strangest places. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Don't chance your plans being disrupted by ill health. Get any problems sorted out now even if you think they are ‘nothing’. When you are feeling good it is easy to take that for granted. . PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your mind is positively buzzing with ideas. There has been so much progress in your personal life during the past year that it is hard to believe. However, you are capable of being very dynamic and singleminded. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There are moments of boundless energy which really urge you to ‘get up and go’. Make use of this at work, where most progress is to be made this week. Be you a politician, pensioner or anyone in between, the opportunities are there to be had. Slow progress on the love front should not see you fretting.

SAGITTARIUS

(November 23 - December 21)

Avoid like the plague people who would dampen your spirit. It may not be deliberate but, if you are near repressed or depressed people, it may rub off. Find positive, active people to be near. If you have not started a form of exercise, then now is as good a time as any. Make it group activity if you want more social contacts.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Bring more zip to your life by putting the spotlight on your health. Getting out and about lifts the spirits, while perking up the diet with new foods brightens the system. As energy levels come up this week, be aware of what is happening around you. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The chance to travel seems exciting but can be made even more so by including a few people who are on your wavelength. So busy have you been on the more mundane aspects of life that the ‘big picture’ may have faded into the background. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) An authority figure may also be seen as a possible romantic attachment. Your talents and charm serve you well when approaching this person. Opportunities need approaching with eyes wide open, however, because they could be time-consuming and disruptive.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Keeping up the activity level physically is really in your best interests this week. It is a pivotal point where your resolutions in this area could fail. With life very busy, it is still important to retain your priorities. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Does someone in the family need your attention? Don't begrudge time spent with them, even if you are busy. Consider what you would want others to do if you were in the same position. After all, you love a challenge so see this as a bit of a juggling act. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) With your enthusiasm socially at a peak, now is the time to get involved with anything that takes your fancy. A project involving music or painting will give you the chance to make new friends. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) This week will see more progress on a health issue. Maybe you have recently given up something or taken to the gym. Recent weeks may have conspired to upset your best efforts. It is never too late to make a fresh start, though, especially right now. Someone who gives your confidence a boost also leads you to believe that anything is possible.

As the evenings are getting darker earlier and the nights are getting cooler it is well and truly box set time, and with Netflix recently available in Spain, we count down 10 of the most intriguing and binge-worthy TV series on the Internet service. 1. Peaky Blinders. One of the most stylish and captivating series produced by the BBC in recent years, this is the story of the 19th century Birmingham gang who sewed blades into the peaks of their caps to give them a ready and hidden weapon at all times. Cillian Murphy leads a fine cast as the leader of the Shelby family looking to take over the city in a beautifully shot series.

IT has been 10 years since her last novel, the National Book Aw a r d - n o m i n a t e d Veronica. Gaitskill is now back with The Mare, a story about a Brooklyn youth who comes into the lives of a new family in upstate New York and in doing so, an animal. The Mare covers the family’s changing relationship with the youth. Described as unmistakably in the style of Gaitskill, the geography of the setting comes into the story as much as the characters. books@euroweeklynews.com

2. Homeland. Claire Danes and Damien Lewis are among the award winning cast in this suspenseful thriller about an American war hero who returns home to national acclaim. One CIA agent though, played by Claire Danes, begins to question the true motives of the marine and the relationship between the two crackles with chemistry. 3. Sherlock. Not many could have predicted the global success that a rebooted Sherlock Holmes would bring for the BBC and its two lead actors, but Sherlock made superstars of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman and created a devoted fan base. Set today in London, the series deals with the brotherhood between Holmes and Watson as the consulting detectives take on the criminals who are outwitting police. 4. Firefly. Celebrated by its fans like no other TV show, Firefly had a

SHERLOCK: Starring Benedict Cumberbatch. doomed 14 episode run on Fox before it was cancelled and the sparkling dialogue and unique ‘cowboys in space’ theme of the show make it addictive viewing. 5. Jericho. Another TV series cancelled before it could fulfil its promise, Jericho tells the tale of a post apocalyptic America and how one small community begins to pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives in a new world. 6. Luther. In a starring role for The Wire’s Idris Elba, London’s darker side comes to life as the unbalanced but effective detective contends with some of the city’s most dangerous criminals. 7. Sons of Anarchy. In its early seasons, before it went off the rails, this drama about a biker gang which stars the outstanding Ron Perlman is a well paced story about family and crime in California.

8. Terriers. Audience figures may not have been consistent enough for FX to renew Terriers but the comedy drama starring Donal Logue and based on a couple of unlikely private detectives is a great find on Netflix. 9. The West Wing. One of the most famous shows for dialogue ever written, The West Wing showcases Aaron Sorkin’s trademark banter and as it takes place in the White House the dramatic stakes are sure to be high. Whether you are rediscovering the story of Jed Bartlet and his passionate staff or meeting the gang for the first time, this award winning drama is for you. 10. Friday Night Lights. This drama about high school football players and the Texas town they are based in was an assured and poignant representation of everyday issues in small town America.

OPINION & COMMENT

Perhaps it’s time I dusted off my old fishing rod IN the past angling meant so much more to me than simply catching fish Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

IT has been many years since I last picked up a fishing rod in anger. As a young man, my greatest influence was Bernard Venables, the famous naturalist, angler and author who, through his writings and art, taught me to observe and love the wonderful world of the English countryside. I was fortunate to have the River Kennet on my doorstep and during the summer months, I would often rouse myself early on a Sunday morning, and while the blackbirds were still snoring and having wormy dreams, I made my way ea-

RIVER KENNET: When the sun began to show it revealed the most glorious setting. gerly to the water’s edge. As the mist cleared and the sun began to show its face, it revealed the most glorious setting and was my favourite part of the day. With one eye on my stationary float, waiting for that telltale rise and dip be-

fore sliding away as the bait was taken, my other attentive eye would be scanning the far bank for signs of water voles. These comical little rodents are an endangered species today, but back then were a common sight as they

busily patrolled their territory scavenging for food. Then as the sun climbed higher in the sky, the surrounding trees and meadows would burst into life, birds found their voices and competed in the avian equivalent of The X Factor.

Legions of insects droned and buzzed into activity, and as if a gigantic artist’s brush had swept across the landscape, the countryside exploded into vibrant colour. I was lucky to have all of this in my backyard, but sometimes I could be found fishing from a boat on the achingly beautiful Blenheim Palace Lake or studying the waters of the Hampshire Avon or Dorset Stour, searching for signs of the elusive Barbel. But angling meant much more to me than simply catching fish and as the greatest of all anglers, Izaac Walton, once described the river bank, ‘the quietest and fittest place for contemplation.’ How true. Perhaps I should dust off my tackle, but I doubt it would be quite the same now.

The miner who ousted a dictator NICOLAE CEAUSESCU and his henchmen thought they were untouchable Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

IN casual conversation it was remarked that the Euro was as secure as gold and the European Union the new 1,000 Year Reich. I was reminded of a demonstration that occurred on December 17, 1989 in Communist Romania. Thousands of unpaid coalminers stood silent. Platitudes from the Communist leadership grouped on a government building balcony droned over the stone-faced miners. General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party, Nicolae Ceausescu, was conceited as he urged patience. Dissent in Stalinist Romania was met by lengthy terms in forced labour camps. He and his henchmen thought themselves untouchable. The police and armed forces were enmeshed in their crooked system

Disregarding the likely consequences of his actions he screamed, “out!” A shocked silence fell on the assembled miners. Moments later a

miracle occurred. A dozen miners joined him, and then 100, 1,000 and soon 10,000 miners were punching the air as they chanted for the government to step down. The dictators’ smirks were replaced by a deathly pallor now etched on their faces. The miners in

FLAG: Spain v Catalonia.

Another civil war? WITH the terrible events of the last two weeks, public attention has drifted away from the Catalan parliament’s bid to declare independence from Spain, but are there potentially real similarities between the situation in Catalonia and the situation with ISIS? At the end of the day, what is going to happen over the next 18 months? Looking forward, could there be a compromise between whichever party is elected to run Spain, whereby there is greater self-government for the area, will there be a referendum, will there be a granting of independence or more likely will the Spanish government simply refuse to allow it to happen? It will by then be just over 80 years since the start of the Spanish Civil War. The logical conclusion to the meeting of an irresistible force and an immovable object is frightening as the only way to stop the independence movement. Depending upon the view of the person naming them, those who resist are either terrorists or freedom fighters, and those they are resisting are either invaders or legitimate forces of authority. In the previous century, the West saw some very brutal regimes which massacred millions, but the one difference between our governments today and the jihadists is that by and large, we have learned from the mistakes of the past whilst ISIS just doesn’t care and seems set on slaughtering for the sake of it. The ISIS threat needs to be contained but 18 months is a short time and some resolution to the situation with Catalonia will have to be reached sooner rather than later.

their thousands began to edge towards the government building. TV cameras focused on the country’s doomed leadership. President Ceausescu tried to calm the miners. It was futile, his speech was drowned out. Security forces were ordered to fire into the protesting crowds but few obeyed the command. Ceausescu, a lifelong Communist, several times jailed for street thuggery, was courted by England’s royal family and various US and Western leaders. He and his henchmen fled. The family that had denied their countrymen a voice were prevented from escaping by the country’s armed forces. When the fugitives were arrested it was just eight days from the moment that this solitary miner punched the air and screamed at the top of his lungs, ‘out!’ Now we Tried and found guilty, Ceausescu want to and Co were riddled with automatic hear your views. rifle fire.

Special assistance not so special for some Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I HAVE a very rare neurological disorder called Primary Orthostatic Tremor (Google it). This means that when I travel I have to use a wheelchair. Some airports are fantastic with the way that they handle people that need special assistance, Malaga being one of the best I’ve ever used. The two worst that I’ve encountered are Heathrow and Madrid. On Saturday I was flying home from London. I get to the airport two and a half hours before the flight, at their request and check in. That’s ok, it gives me time to have a cuppa. So I check in (I’m travelling alone) and they tell me to sit in an area where there is another passenger. I go over and say hi. People in wheelchairs do that, it’s like a club. She looks miffed so I ask what’s the matter and she tells me she has been waiting for 20 minutes and is on the same flight as me. I ask the BA lady if they have called special assis-

tance to which she says yes. I ask where the desk is and am informed it’s on the second floor which is crazy as it makes it impossible to go direct to the special assistance desk . BA were very good. They kept calling but nothing. What happens is that you get put on a list and as long as they get you there before the gate closes they don’t care. Job done! It’s bad enough you are dependent on someone else, but to be treated like cargo is degrading. In Madrid they put all the wheelchair punters in a room like cattle. Just lots of people in wheelchairs looking at each other. To be fair at Heathrow BA were embarrassed and kept calling and when we did get moved they sent us to the BA lounge and gave us brekkie, with only five minutes to spare. Here’s how it should work. Put special assistance on the ground floor so we can go straight there and get help to check cases in as it’s very hard to wheel yourself in a chair with two cases. At Heathrow it costs £20 (€28) to get from a cab to the desk with a porter. Then they should get you through security so you can do what ‘normal’ people do, have a cuppa and look round the shopping centre that used to be an airport, or don’t ask me to be there two to three hours before flight closes!

OPINION & COMMENT

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Vehicle transfers following a death AS part of a new series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

TRANSFER: There is a standard administrative procedure to follow. IN the event of a vehicle owner passing away, there is a standard procedure for having the vehicle ownership transferred. Immediately after a death, the vehicle can be transferred to a new owner who may not be the long-term benefactor, but who may seek ownership on a temporary basis. In this event, the temporary custodian of the vehicle has 90 days in which they must notify the traffic department of this temporary custody and their legal address. The person registering the vehicle must produce documents to the traffic department including payment for transfer (prices in 2015 are €52.80 for most vehicles, €26.40 for mopeds), identity documents, death certificate of the original owner or marriage certificate stating the death, document proving possession of the vehicle, driving licence and ITV card. The intended permanent vehicle owner

must apply for the final transfer of the vehicle within a 90-day period. The intended permanent owner must submit the same documents but with two additions: certificate of liquidation or exemption from inheritance tax and declaration of heirs, or will, accompanied by a certificate of wills, or document stating the award of the vehicle. You must request a printed official form that will facilitate the transfer of the vehicle by the traffic department on behalf of the state. You have to pay fees for the transfer. If the applicant is foreign, there are other processes. The official identity of the country of origin must also be presented. You may also have to produce the original document attesting to your home in Spain if you do not have foreign identity documents. The process is a standard administrative procedure and so your advisor or lawyer will be able to advise you further.

SPAIN was promised some EU goodies following the 2014 Euro elections and the sugarplum went to Miguel Arias Cañete. The former Environment minister was not an obvious choice for Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy commissioner, not with his former oil industry links. The job description requires him to condemn fossil fuels and greenhouse gases but he is doing so with unexpected gusto. “Converts to causes become their biggest defenders,” Arias Cañete explained. There’s much to be said about poachers-turned-gamekeepers too.

MIGUEL ARIAS CAÑETE: Condemning fossil fuels and greenhouse gases.

PODEMOS is aiming high and possibly punching above its weight. First the newly-hatched party enlisted four-star general and former Chief of Defence Staff Julio Rodriguez to head its list of general election candidates in Zaragoza. Now Podemos has another notch on its gun with Juan Pedro Yllanes, a Baleares judge known for relentless pursuit of corruption. He was due to head the tribunal of judges who will decide whether the Infanta Cristina knew about her husband’s financial shenanigans. No longer, naturally, as Yllanes has

There is no easy way out BASQUE Regional President, Iñigo Urkullu, suggested to his Catalan counterpart Artur Mas in May 2014 that they should seek legal ways of reforming the makeup of the Spanish state. The offer came to nothing. Mas has always wanted to do things his way, which is the hard way.

An unwinnable war against terror, or a wake-up call to the West? EXPERTS warn disaffected Muslims, Europe’s open borders and the migrant crisis are all creating the perfect storm Nora Johnson

THE terrorists came, they saw, they murdered. Europe welcomed refugees with open arms (at the invitation of the German Chancellor. Thanks, Mrs Merkel!), and some have done what they came to do. It’s doubtful the Paris attacks will be the final atrocity. Disaffected Muslims, Europe’s open borders and the migrant crisis are all creating the perfect storm, terror experts warn. And here’s the evidence: Open borders undoubtedly prompt the most enterprising people from the poorest, least secure nations to emigrate in droves to the wealthiest, safest coun-

progressive nation, imposed ‘temporary’ border checks while the Paris massacre, causing over 100 deaths, led to calls for the EU to close its borders to all asylum seekers.

But none of this will be enough. Because what it will take to defeat ISIS, and win, is most likely to be boots on the ground, armoured brigades together with targeted aerial bombardment. And at the end of this long, bloody and expensive campaign, the installation of a regime strong enough to contain and rebuild what remains of Syria. And does the West have the collective stomach for future foreign wars? I doubt it because of past mistakes. Will diplomacy, negotiation or sanctions succeed in eradicating ISIS? Hardly. The battle-hardened ISIS attackers were able to plan multiple, simultaneous attacks. So the question is: If this isn’t a game changer after the tragedies in Tunisia, Ankara, Sharm el-Sheikh, etc, what is? Even more deadly, coordinated attacks against a major European city with an even greater loss of life.

Meanwhile, what’s to be done? I’ve written before about the need to stabilise fragile states like Syria, Iraq, etc. As for the UK, we all know that more border control staff, a tighter immigration policy, refusing the re-entry of radicalised fighters (450, reportedly) returning from Syria, introducing ID cards for everyone, increasing police numbers and reversing the cuts imposed on Britain’s armed forces would be a good place to start. The establishment should pull their collective finger out, pass the Government’s Snooper’s Charter now, or London will be next.

After four elections which had seen the Gibraltar Social Democrats (GSD) under Peter (Now Sir Peter) Caruana triumph, the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party (GSLP) under Fabian Picardo entered into a coalition with the Gibraltar Liberal Party (GLP) and has governed for the last four years. According to two separate opinion polls, the coalition parties are well ahead and are forecast to continue in government, although opinion polls are not always effective but at least the full results of the election will be revealed quite quickly.

Effort determines your fitness results FitFoxy Looking Good, Staying Trim

AS a trainer is it often an interesting experience being able to identify the areas that are essentially preventing clients from reaching their goals. Of course I hope that everyone has a personal goal to reach, if not how would we ever turn up for training on a Monday morning or find the motivation to push through on the ‘not so upbeat days?’ The majority of my fitness clients have similar goals such as weight loss or maintenance, some are actually slender to the eye, but desire tone and muscular definition. Sometimes due to their profession, they have body imbalances that need strengthening or correcting. After years of working with both men

and women I can pinpoint the requirements most of them have, and I am able to combine programmes to suit their abilities and help them achieve their goals. I never fail to notice in my group classes, the clients that give 110 per cent effort and the clients that give 65. They have the same goals and desires, however some are willing to put in the full effort required to achieve great results. So who do you think is getting the results at the end of the month when we do weigh in and measurements? Of course it is the 110 per cent effort clients that have pushed themselves that bit further. The reason I brought up this topic is, whether you train in a gym or on your own, there comes a time when you need to raise your own effort bar. If weight loss and shape changing is important to you… GO FOR IT!!

PERFORM BETTER: Have a quality breakfast.

Students who ate a good breakfast did twice as well at school

EFFORT: Brings results.

EATING breakfast can help pupils perform better in school. A study by Cardiff University found that eating cereal, bread, dairy or fruit in the morning helped students with performance and they were twice as likely to do well in tests. A breakfast of snacks such as crisps or sweets in the morning was no better than eating nothing at all the study concluded. Researchers questioned 5,000 pupils aged nine to 11 from more than 100 primary schools and found youngsters who carried on eating fruit and vegetables at other times of the day performed better. Researchers said this study indicated the ‘strongest evidence yet’ of students eating breakfast and the quality of the breakfast.

Knee ligaments: Facts and healing tips By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com SO what exactly is a ligament? Within a joint there are four key structures that keep you moving: 1. Bones – a joint is where two bones meet 2. Cartilage – this is the squishy stuff on the end of bones, in the discs in your spine and in extra cushions like the meniscus. This stops the bones rubbing together 3. Tendons – the rope like fibres that join muscles to bones 4. Ligament – the fibrous connective tissue that joins the bones together in a joint Knee ligaments In the knee there are four key sets of ligaments • The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) connects the thigh bone to the shin bone at the knee. • The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the second set of ligaments connecting the thigh bone to the shin bone.

INJURIES: Knee ligaments are typically slow to heal and need lots of support. • The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) connects the thigh bone to the fibula, the smaller bone on the outside of the lower leg.

• The medial collateral ligament (MCL) also connects the thigh bone to the shin bone on the inside of the knee.

How does it happen? Ligament injuries often happen during sport. Sudden twisting, over extension, falls, a bad landing or sudden stops . . . these can all cause ligament injuries. I get far more calls from skiers and snowboarders during the winter too, as sometimes the ligaments can’t cope with those spectacular falls! Speed is key It is key to get a quick, accurate diagnosis. Ligaments are like ropes, so they can get frayed and loose before they snap completely. Just to be clear, snapping isn’t good. Ligaments are typically slow to heal. They need lots of support while they are doing it as they don’t have a great blood supply so this means it takes time for the ‘good stuff’ to get in. I’ve found that using MRT can reduce recovery time to weeks as opposed to the usual months. Supporting the knee correctly so that it places the least strain on the ligament while it is healing is also key. And will help to prevent future injuries. To find out more about treating ligament and other knee injuries please check out our blog – www.TheBodyworksClinic.com/blog, call us on 952 883 151 or come and see us at the Over 50’s Show in Estepona this weekend!

New hopes for detection of ovarian cancer A SIMPLE blood test could be used to accurately detect ovarian cancer. Scientists compared cells of patients known to have early stage ovarian cancer to samples taken from healthy women and in nine out of 10 cases they were able to detect the early stages of cancer by looking for signs of the disease in blood serum compounds. The test results are much higher than current methods used to monitor women with an inherited risk of ovarian cancer, including a blood marker test that has a reliability rate as low as 50 per cent for the early stage of the disease. Known as the ‘silent killer’ because women are often diagnosed too late, it is hoped the new blood test could offer a better screening programme in detecting ovarian cancer.

Fibromyalgia

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. I’VE heard about fibromyalgia and wondered if that could be my problem, but my doctor says it doesn’t exist. Does it? Fibromyalgia is a controversial condition, and for many years it wasn’t considered to be a real illness. Today there is quite a lot of evidence that it does exist. Therefore, as a specialist in internal medicine, I recognise its existence although many of my colleagues remain unsure. If it exists, what is it? It is a disorder characterised by joint and muscular pain, accompanied by extreme tiredness. Its causes are unknown although there are probably a series of conditions behind it including genetics. What are the symptoms? Along with joint and muscle pain and tiredness, symptoms include difficulty sleeping, morning stiffness, headaches, painful menstruation, tingling or numb feeling in hands and feet, forgetfulness and trouble concentrating. How can it be treated? Fibromyalgia can be difficult to treat. It is important to find a doctor who is familiar with the condition and its treatment.

Sometimes teamwork is needed. This includes your doctor, a physiotherapist and possibly other health providers as well. Medication includes pain relief and anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxers, antidepressants, etc, although moderate daily physical exercise is just as important and activities such as swimming and dancing are advised. Psychological therapy can also help channel emotions. So will exercise help rather than making pains worse? Moderate, daily exercise will really help improve fibromyalgia symptoms. What about diet? Although nothing has been proven, my opinion is that diet is very important. A balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg helps maintain a balance between mind and body which helps sufferers. Is there a cure or is it forever? Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition which does not have a cure. The best thing to do is find a treatment that works as well as possible and combine it with diet adjustments and daily exercise to keep symptoms under control.

Simple tips to help you shed those unwanted pounds IT is never too late to embark on a healthier eating plan and try and lose a bit of weight. Different things work for different people, but there are some simple things you can do to trim down before the festive season: Keep a food diary Keep a diary to work out your daily calorie intake as many people are in denial about how much they actually eat. Seeing it on paper can make cutting back easier, but this only works if you are honest with yourself. Make small changes By implementing a few small changes you can see big differences, without feeling like you are missing out. These are more likely to be sustainable, so try switching to low fat dairy, swap meat for lean protein such as turkey. Cook from scratch It doesn’t have to be overly complicated, but avoiding pre-packaged foods and ready-made sauces can cut calories. Grill meat and fish and fill up on vegetables, salad and complex carbohydrates such as brown rice or sweet potato. Watch the alcohol Many people forget alcohol

SIMPLE: Follow the tips and reduce your intake gradually to make it more long lasting. but the average glass of wine (175ml) contains 130 calories and a pint of beer around 215. Avoid skipping meals Many people think by cutting out meals it cuts calories, but it will lead to low sugar levels and cravings which of-

ten lead to you grabbing an unhealthy snack. Ditch sugar and white carbohydrates Foods high in sugar can cause spikes in insulin levels and blood sugar crashes that may encourage cravings and

fat storage. Check food labels and look out for hidden sugars that appear under other names such as corn sugar, dextrose or molasses. Reduce your intake gradually to make it easier and more long lasting.

Betty Missiego farewell concert AFTER over 50 years in show business, Betty Missiego is playing her final show in the Cervantes Theatre in Málaga on Wednesday December 2. “I’ve chosen Málaga and its wonderful Cervantes Theatre for this farewell, and I’ve chosen them because in all the years that I’ve lived, and still live, in this beautiful place (Benalmádena, in the province of Málaga), the people here have helped me to feel that I’m a woman, a mother and, once again, an artist. It’s to these people, all of them, that I want to dedicate my last professional songs. God bless them,” Missiego said. Born in Peru, the artist adopted Spanish nationality in 1972 and has made 22 albums with songs ranging in genres from traditional Peruvian songs to pop music.

Terra Sana launches ‘quirky’ new dishes on their beloved menu CATERING to different dietary needs is part of changing with the times TERRA SANA has always been about healthy, real food - fresh food and the best possible ingredients purchased locally from certified suppliers. This principle, combined with all the love and care that go into the preparation of the food - the soul of the place - has seen Terra Sana group of restaurants go from strength to strength since they were first established in 1999. Over the last few months some new speciality dishes have been added to the beloved Terra Sana menu. Our favourite of these is the ‘Quirky Quinoa Salad.’ Loaded with delicious red quinoa, nuts, feta cheese, dates, baby tomatoes and lots of green leaves it’s irresistibly crunchy and tasty.

Charity walk for AAA LADIES are hoping to at least match last year’s sum or beat it this year By John Smith IN what is becoming something of a tradition, Tracey McLeod, Susan Stacey and Muriel Bonetti, three friends and colleagues from Exclusive Marbella Estates are taking their dogs for a walk to raise funds for the Triple A Marbella animal charity. The event which starts at 10am on December 12 will see them, their dogs and as many people as possible who would like to join in, walking from Cabopino to La Cala and back which will cover 10 kilometres.

RAISING FUNDS: Tracey, Susan and Muriel. There is a cost of just €15 to participate which includes a

packed lunch plus a sizable donation to the charity, so to

book your place please call Tracey McLeod on 607 602 130 or email tracey@exclusivemarbella.com. She needs plenty of notice in order to arrange for the preparation of the lunches. Last year, they had great fun with all of those who joined them and raised the impressive sum of €2,000, so are hoping to at least match or beat that this year. The charity which works around the Marbella and San Pedro area does a great job in rescuing and rehoming abandoned dogs and cats and their full details can be seen at http://www.tripleamarbella.org/ eng/ Our picture shows the black and white Scooby Doo (Tracey’s dog) himself a rescue dog and his new special girlfriend Poochi plus of course the three ladies who are organising the walk.

A Cocktail of Lights CASINO Marbella will be marking the start of the Christmas period on Thursday (December 3) with its traditional Cocktail of Lights. The casino, at Edificio Hotel H10 Andalucia Plaza, Marbella, has put up a huge Christmas tree and is encouraging customers to go and hang their wishes from its branches for luck before attending the traditional cocktail party at 8pm with a toast for the season.

The Rally was preceded by coffee and croissants at Venta Los Almendros on the Ronda Road. David Pittel had organised a superb run to Casares via Ronda. Although the Ronda Road is known to

many, the Ronda to Casares road is something of a challenge. The party stopped at Meson Los Pilarojos-Atajate for a rest and some refreshment, then proceeded to Mirador de Genial, also on the Ronda/Casares Road. However the weather had closed in, and the spectacular views were eclipsed by mist and fog. Lunch was enjoyed at Venta Garcia in Casares, where a superb spread awaited them.

Be open from the start and you will save yourself money in the future David Deverson GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL Insurance correspondent david@globelink.co.uk

EUROPE’S economic woes haven’t dented our appetite for travel. If anything, we’re intent on getting the most out of our much-needed getaways even as we are on the lookout for bargains. There are certainly some excellent deals to be had, as operators and destinations compete for the business. Meanwhile, more people are turning to short breaks as a way of getting a travel ‘fix’ while maximising the budget. If you’re one of them, taking out an Annual Multi Trip policy with Globelink Travel Insurance makes obvious savings sense. The one area you shouldn’t be economical in is your medical history when you speak to your insurer. Every year, a significant number of Brits head abroad with a travel policy that’s invalid before they even reach the check-in desk. They’re the people who, naively or not, don’t come clean about pre-existing health facts that

Each and every year, some of them find themselves without sufficient travel cover, as the condition they didn’t disclose suddenly needs medical attention. The insurance claims investigators are well used to finding out the whole story so you’re advised to give a com-

plete account in the first place. If your holiday needs to end early and a condition warrants your flying home with a medical escort, you could see an average bill of around £4,000 (€4,700) in Europe, and that’s flying economy class. Repatriation by air ambulance from the US

or Australia can cost tens of thousands, which is surely not part of anyone’s holiday budget. A new UK consumer law, introduced in April, should make it harder for travellers to invalidate their travel insurance by failing to disclose important facts relating to their health. That can only be a good thing, since it should help to cut down claims disputes. However, the law does expect you to fill out the online form honestly and accurately when applying for or renewing your travel insurance. What you perceive as a ‘little white lie’ could leave you without proper cover at the time you need it most. Non-disclosure makes even less sense when your condition might actually be eligible for automatic coverage. At Globelink Travel Insurance, our policies embrace a large number of pre-existing conditions, including diabetes and high blood pressure, provided you have no related complications.

Own an exclusive piece of art before it gets too late REAL Persian rugs will soon be a thing of the past as the old art of creating them is dying out ACCORDING to Kambiz Daemi, owner of the exclusive Kambyses Persian rug trading firm, anyone who wants to see the beauty of a real Persian rug will soon have to go to a museum to do so. Kambyses has been selling Persian carpets in Spain since 1978 and with the shop set to close soon, now is the time to invest in one of these beautiful and top quality rugs. Changes to the mentality of young people in Iran, who are not prepared to put in the hard work and sacrifices that previous generations did and are looking for easier ways to make a living, combined with the increasing cost of living which is now alm o s t c o m p a r a b l e t o S p a i n ’s , mean it is impossible for real Persian carpets to be produced at competitive prices. This means that the old art of creating them is dying out.

Easy stepping stone ideas MAKING a new path in your garden can take as little or as much imagination and DIY as you want, but whichever idea you choose, make sure you follow these tips to create the best looking walkway. Your stepping stone path doesn’t have to be exactly in line. The most important thing is that the stones are not too far away from one another. The stones are best laid with the wider side facing the beginning of the path. Whatever kind of stepping stone path suits your garden, straight or curved,

make sure the narrow side faces away from you. When laying the stones it really can be as simple as just putting them straight down on top of the soil. If you want to put a little more into it, dig a shallow space for each of the stones. The holes should be more or less the same shape as the stones going into them. Depth wise, keep it to about half the thickness of the stone itself. Simply add a little sand to each hole and then lay the stones into place.

couldn’t be made at competitive prices, the same is about to happen to Persian rugs, Kambiz Daemi explained, and this is why Kambyses is closing its shop opposite Puerto Banus bullring. The shop can be found at Avenida Pilar Calvo 43 opposite Puerto Banus Bullring in Mar-

bella. Those interested in acquiring a real piece of Persian art before they become extinct should make the most of the chance to go and buy one before it closes its doors. For more information email info@kambyses.com or call 952 812 222 or 952 814 444.

Bragi meets Rocky, Tiger and Campy in Spain… To find a pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on +44 (0)1865 521508 TIRED of the cold and ice in winter at home near Reykjavik, Bragi decided that this cold season he would head to the sun. He decided that even though he likes his job as a security guard, he really needed a break from the cold. Surfing the web for ideas he happened upon ‘housesitting’ as an idea. Having spent summers helping out on a local farm as a shepherd, he was very used to caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. When he registered on HouseSitMatch.com he found a lovely housesit with three pets in Marbella, Spain. One month later, Bragi is

happily looking after two cats, Campy and Tiger, and Rocky, an aging Yorkshire terrier. They will spend this winter in Marbella while their owners visit friends and relatives in the US. For Bragi this is ideal. He can enjoy the sun in Spain while living rent free, in exchange for petsitting and keeping guard of the property. For Rocky, Campy and Tiger having Bragi care for them at home really is best, they don’t like too many routine changes. It’s a win-win for both parties, free house and petsitting and the sitters get free accommodation!

How to integrate a dog into your family home David THE Dogman Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm

INTEGRATING a dog into the family is a wonderful experience. However, a few rules need to be set. Dogs are not living toys, especially when bringing a puppy into a family where children already live. Firstly, don’t allow children (or anyone else) to feed your dog from the table, suitable leftovers can be mixed into his meal afterwards. It is particularly important to ‘clear up’ after your dog in the garden when your child becomes old enough to play there. Keep your dog out of the way when your children have friends round or are playing energetic games. It’s fun for your child to fuss and play with your dog, but teach games where you keep control, and always supervise. Older children should help feed, groom and train your pet so that they learn about the responsibilities as well

WALKING THE DOG: Don’t allow children to do this alone.

as the fun of pets. Make sure your child always washes their hands afterwards. Children love to hold the lead, but don’t allow them to walk your dog alone. They may be able to manage your well behaved pet, but how would they cope if he was attacked by a large stray?

Show children the correct way to befriend other people’s dogs, ask the owner first, then offer a hand for the dog to sniff from below his nose before you pat him. Not all dogs are friendly. Your child should not approach strays and must never go with strangers to see ‘the puppies at home’!

Small furry friends THIS week in our Small furry friends’ series, we take a look at ferrets. Ferrets are full of fun and inquisitive, and, as pets, they have an amazing capacity for learning so give them plenty of things to climb on, play with and explore. Give your ferret cardboard rolls and boxes and suitable small pets toys, such as ramps and cloth tunnels. Drainpipes are ideal for playing in. Contrary to old wives tales, ferrets are actually quite intelligent animals, and with patience, can be trained to do quite a few tricks and tasks.

INQUISITIVE: Ferrets have an amazing capacity for learning.

ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

Energica goes public with the ‘Tesla of motorcycles’ THEY hope to raise more capital to expand and grow its business By Steve Walsh BEING hailed by its Italian owners as ‘The Tesla of motorcycles,’ European bike maker Energica have launched their production version of the Eva street bike last week at the EICMA 2015 show.

VOLVO’S new rival to the BMW 5-Series will be revealed at the 2016 Detroit Motor Show in January. Expanding their already bright future, Volvo with the new XC90 is going from strength to strength.

ENERGICA EGO: Will set you back €23,000.

The zero-emissions solution to powerful Japanese crotch rockets is allegedly due to go on sale within a year. While you still can’t quite buy a €23,000 Energica Ego, the company has grown its line-up to include a ‘naked’ version

called the Eva. The 2015 Energica Eva is a streetfighter version of the Ego and uses the same 136 horsepower electric motor and 11.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which should allow this lightning powered superbike to travel around 95 miles per charge. As if that wasn’t big enough news for the small start-up, the bigger news is Energica’s aim is to go public, eventually offering its company shares on the London Stock Market. Swiss global financial services have been hired to help Energica get things prepared as they begin to look for private investment to raise the necessary free capital in order to be listed on the Stock Exchange’s AIM Italia submarket. They hope to raise more capital to expand and grow the business by selling approximately €20 million worth of stock if and when it finally

lands on AIM. With other electric motorcycle firms getting absorbed into large manufacturing companies or going to the

wind in recent months, it’s good to see a company like Energica make it this far.

Injury hit Marbella RC in heavy loss to Jaen AON PREMIER DIVISION ANDALUCIA Jaen Rugby 32, Marbella RC 14 AFTER being defeated by CR Malaga in last week’s derby, Marbella RC suffered its second straight defeat last weekend, this time falling to Jaen. The squad was already missing key players, some due to injury, some as a result of suspensions, others still for work or study reasons. Then to add salt to the wound, the team’s ‘sniper’ had to throw in the towel at the last minute after coming down with a fever. Despite not being able to fill out the line-up of 23 players (in the end there were only 21), the team fought hard, and only minutes from the end, the scoreboard showed only a marginal advantage for the home team, which kept it alive for the visitors hopes for a comeback.

At the beginning, the Marbellíes had many opportunities to score, but the Jaen defense stayed strong. Finally, in the 30th minute, the local team scored a drop kick, giving them three points. Five minutes later a penalty kick added another three points to their score and they went to the changing room with a 6-0 lead. In the second half, the home team began to dominate, setting up play after play. The Marbellíes could barely hold them off, and it wasn’t long before the more seasoned Jaen team began to break through. After two tries and a conversion it was 18-0 with 20 minutes left to play, but just when things were looking bleak, the visiting squad fought back and after two tries and two conversions,

Marbella was trailing by only four points, 18-14. But then came an unfortunate mistake, after the visitors were granted a free kick, the ball was intercepted a lucky Jaen player and the home team managed to score two more points. It came as a shock for Marbella, who after that conceded another try right at the end of the match, which meant a bonus point and second position in the standings for the Jaen squad. On top of that, it resulted in more injuries for the Marbellíes, which means that all but five players are injured to varying degrees. They will no doubt have a hard road ahead of them over the next few weeks, their next match is coming up on November 29 in Ciudad Real.

Malaga: The European Sports Capital in 2020

LARGE ENTRY: All 16 rinks had to be used.

EVENT SPONSORS: Futura Hearing Centres.

MALAGA City’s Sports Councillor Elisa Perez de Siles, along with Council leader Elias Bendodo, Sports, Youth Delegate Cristobal Ortega, and Malaga Sport and Events Head Jose del Rio have been to Brussels for the official naming of Malaga as European Sports Capital in 2020. During an ACES Europe (European Sports Cities and Capitals Federation) gala at the Belgian parliament building, Turin (Italy) passed the flag over to next year’s sports capital, Prague (Czech Republic) and the mayor of the city read out the chosen capitals for the next few years: Marseilles (France) for 2017, Sofia (Bulgaria) for 2018, Budapest (Hungary) for 2019 and Malaga for 2020. Malaga obtained the title after presenting itself as a candidate in November 2014 and getting through the first cut in August 2015 with Budapest, La Caleta (Malta) and Erevan (Armenia) as fellow applicants. Malaga and Budapest got through to the final. Finally, in October Malaga was proposed as the capital for 2020 in accordance with article 23.3 of ACES

Europe’s General Regulations, which state that if the result of the final votes for the two finalists is over 80 points and there is five or less points difference between the two, the city with the lower number of points will automatically obtain the title for the following year. Over the 16 years votes have been held, this was just the second time there had been a technical draw. This title for Malaga means a big back-up to its image and the work in recent years, which has turned the city into the one where the most sport is played in Andalucia. Along with prestige, the title will bring a huge international sports congress and at least one major event to the city, and means sport-related activities will be held every day of the year. It will also encourage the city to continue encouraging its inhabitants to play sport and follow a healthy lifestyle and continue organising national and international sports events. The project will be directed and organised by the City Hall’s Sports Department and Malaga Sports and Events in collaboration with ACES Europe.
