T
he police operation to arrest people they suspect to be linked to or responsible for last week’s terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena is continuing. So far, 15 people have been arrested and police have carried out further raids on Saturday, Sunday and early hours of Monday morning, with some streets evacuated. 13 people are currently in custody. Twenty-two people were killed and 120 injured after a bomb exploded in the foyer of the venue, between the arena and Victoria Station, on Monday. Theresa May announced on Saturday morning that the terror threat level has been downgraded from critical to severe, which means the likelihood of an attack has been reduced from imminent to highly likely. Hundreds of well-wishers have been queuing to lay floral tributes, candles, teddy bears and messages of support in St Ann's Square and across the city to

Local community unites following Manchester bomb remember those killed and injured. Funds set up to help the families of those affected has now passed the £5,000,000 mark and celebrities around the world, including Eminem Ariana Grande, have shared the appeal with their millions of fans. Police have named Salman Abedi - a Salford University student - as the suicide bomber behind the attack, with officers carrying out raids at a house in Fallowfield and Whalley Range in the hours that followed. Other raids have since taken place in Moss Side, Withington, Blackley, Cheetham Hill, Wigan and stretching as far as Nuneaton and Sussex. Here in Spain the expat community
has shown its support and solidarity for the City of Manchester and the families of the victims. In La Marina Manchester born, Debbie Algar who knew one of the

victims, working with local neighbourhood association Vecinal MUNA arranged an evening vigil to remember the victims who tragically lost
their lives in the Manchester Bombing. The event was held on Friday evening outside La Marina Urbanisation Civic Centre, where the British expat community solemnly stood side by side with Spanish and other international residents in a peaceful and very moving candle lit vigil. Those who attended signed the book of condolence or read poems or eulogies. Twenty-two blue and pink balloons, carried a name tag of one of the 22 victims who sadly lost their life. These were released, along with a Chinese lantern during the evening. The book of condolence will eventually be sent to Manchester, but will be at Aloha Bar in Consum square for a few days for
any residents who would like to write condolences. Eternal symbol Meanwhile, Black Cat Ink, run by Manchester-born Greg Lomas, is supporting the bee tattoo initiative. Queues stretched across Greater Manchester as people moved by the Manchester terror attack swarmed to get the bee tattoo – the worker bee being the emblem of the City. Studios around the world – including Black Cat Ink in La Finca, Algorfa - are also showing solidarity. Black Cat Ink is offering local the chance to have the famous symbol tattooed by its expert staff tomorrow (Wednesday 31st May). It’s ‘Walk-in Wednesday’ every week at Black Cat Ink and so no appointment is needed. All proceeds from the tattoos will be donated to the victims and their families. Mireille Toddington

Town building works The town hall is putting into place a series of works to improve the environment. The first is spending 2.5 million euros on street lighting to make it conform to the European regulations. Councillor for works and services, Domingo Soler, made the announcement on the 24th May. Lighting will be replaced with more efficient types in Rocío del Mar and Cala Dorada. Altogether 182 lights will be replaced with LED variations. The work will take four months before it is completed. Improvements to lighting will also take place in La Mata but in this case the work will only take a couple of weeks. The change from ordinary lighting to LED is expected to mean an annual saving for the town of more than €40,000. Alongside improvements to lighting, asphalting of roads is also taking place. This started in April and is expected to conclude on the 5th June. A total of 36,000 square metres is expected to be relaid. Agamed have been completing works in the area. One of the latest is creating a new green area near to the Aromatic Park.

Drivers injured in accident Two people were injured in a traffic accident in the early hours of the morning in Torrevieja on 25th May. The accident took place at around 4.15 am and the injured were both travelling on a scooter at the time on calle Fuensanta. The motorist was a man of 35 years old what had injuries to his head and face and the other involved was 27 and also suffered a head injury. An ambulance was in attendance and both were taken to Torrevieja hospital.
Gay friendly in Torrevieja The councillor for tourism, Fanny Serrano, has announced her intention for Torrevieja to be a Gay Friendly tourist town. ‘We are interested in participating in and promoting this type of tourism,’ explained the councillor. ‘We are keen to explore new markets.’ A new guide in the region publicises those towns that are Gay Friendly and the councillor has meet with different establishments to see if they would be interested in being part of the guide. ‘All of them have shown interest in the idea and we are collecting details so that they can be included.’ Benidorm is already a town that is Gay Friendly. Torrevieja will also be represented in the LGBT exhibition on the 4th November and will have its own stand. Torrevieja tourist attractions will be feature on Gay Pride Day which is celebrated in Valencia on the 22nd June and in Madrid on 1st July. On the 22nd Continued on page 6
Following the successful move of the Friday market in Torrevieja to its new site it looks like La Mata’s Wednesday market is to follow suite. However, this time it’s not just to make shopping in the market more comfortable but also to reduce the risk of part of it falling into the canal. The councillor for markets, Javier Manzanares announced the transfer of the weekly market after receiving a written requirement from the Provincial Department of the coast. The communication asked that ‘you take the necessary measures to prevent the market being positioned over the canal and on the strips of land to either side.’ The concern is that the market takes place on land that was not designed for this use and that there is a risk of collapse into the canal if it should continue. As a result, Councillor Mananares will meet next week with the mayor and the town’s police to consider other suitable venues for the market. ‘We will also meet with the
stall holders,’ explains Councillor Manzanares, ‘to try and reach as close to a consensus as possible as to where we should relocate the market.’ The intention is to keep the market together and move all 162 stalls rather than just move those 50 that are currently causing the concern. ‘We will look for a better and wider location,’ explained the councillor, ‘somewhere where the market has more of a chance to grow too.’ Once a new site is found then approval will be needed from the Local Government Board. This is not the first time that there have been warnings about the siting of the market. Warnings were also issued in 2003 and 2010 particularly in relation to traffic in the area. A report has also been requested from the town’s architect who confirmed the concerns of the provincial technicians. Suzanne O’Connell
Date for new school year announced It won’t be long before the children attending Spanish schools pack up their bags for the last time before the summer. Schools stop at 1pm at the end of May and finish completely on the 20th June. Then it’s a very long summer holiday before pupils start back again around the second week of September. Now the Education department in Alicante has released dates for 2017 to 2018 and the official start day will be the 11th September for classes throughout primary and secondary school. Traditionally all phases of education have not had the same start date. Attempts were made in 2014-15 to
open schools earlier in September. However, many schools do not have air conditioning and in some cases parents were asked to bring fans into the classrooms to help their children cope with the heat. Since then a later start date has been maintained. The first day of term isn’t final yet as it must be agreed by the teaching unions and the Valencian School Council. However, it is likely to be passed as it’s known to already be supported by teachers. The first week of September is usually used by schools and their teachers to prepare materials ready for the new term. Suzanne O’Connell

Give 1 euro – save a life The Costa Blanca People has been supporting fundraising for the Tasha Appeal since the 23 year old was struck down by disease two years ago. Now, we want to take that support to the next level by launching a new campaign: Give €1 – save a life. The idea came from Tasha’s own father, Andy who explained, “At last we have a diagnosis for Tasha - a rare mitochondrial disease. And with a diagnosis, we can at last look at treatment. This is available in the US, and of course, is expensive. There are 309,000 Britons living in Spain, and if just two out of every three people gave one euro, we would be very easily able to raise our target of €200K to get Tasha the treatment in America.” “Just imagine,” said Andy, “If two out of every three Brits in Spain gave just one euro – less than a beer or a coffee in many places – we’d do it; that would be it!” And so, the Costa Blanca People wants to help Andy with this campaign. Having met Tasha and her supporters, we know what a wonderful person she is and what a harrowing ordeal she is going through every day. She is just 23 years old and the last two years have seen her totally devastated by rare, life altering illnesses. Tasha has been diagnosed with a rare La Marina Hillside bar Mel’s kitchen Twilight bar Aloha

mitochondrial disease, which is the primary disease alongside other rare secondary illnesses. The disease has struck in such a devastating way that she is currently paralysed from waist down, unable to breathe unaided and relies on a ventilator and tracheotomy, unable to swallow, and is fed through a tube. Tasha is blind in her left eye and light sensitive in her right eye. She is also unable to support her own head unaided. Despite all her own medical problems, Tasha is still upbeat about life and, using the internet, spends her time encouraging other people throughout the world to never give up with their own personal fight with chronic illness. Tasha’s dad Andy told the Costa Blanca People, “Since her diagnosis we have found out information from a research hospital in America about a treatment of specialist tailored medication that could improve quality of life and possibly extend life expectancy. Due to the treatment being tailor made for the patient, it is very expensive.” Andy continued, “Tasha has spent all her adult life helping both adults and children, and now needs help herself. She Pepas bar Formentera The Pub Torrevieja
UPDATES So far, Andy has raised €3486 of the target. We will update readers every month on how the campaign stands. There should be a welcome boost to the coffers in early June as Andy gets on his bike for a sponsored cycle from Benidorm to La Marina. Andy said: “It is going

If you, your local bar, business, restaurant or social group would like to help, then you can host an event and donate the money through the methods listed below.

to be torture, I haven’t been on a bicycle in 20 years and with working and being Tasha’s carer, I haven’t had any training – but what I’ll suffer is nothing compared to what Tasha goes through every single day so bring it on, if it raises money to keep my daughter alive, I’d walk on hot coals.”
End of term for integration course On the 26th May, the councillor for the integration of international residents, Carmen Morate, closed the first School of Integration course 2017. This is an initiative led by the Valencian regional government and is being developed by the AMICS department. AMICS stands for Agencia de Medicación para la Integración y la Convivencia Social and is based in its new office, previously the tourist information centre in Plaza Capdepont.
The course began on the 25th April and included fifty hours study of the Valencian community including its values and laws, political structure and official languages. The course took place in the Palacio de la Música and was taught by professional volunteers. There were four separate blocks of tuition: 1. Castellano and Valencian 2. Basic legislation: the Spanish constitution, the autonomous communities, the laws of integration, the law of participation, the rights of foreigners in Spain and their social integration 3. The geography and history of Spain and the Valencian Community 4. Practical information – employment, property, health and education Each of the 24 students was presented with their own diploma. Councillor Morate pointed out the importance of integration; ‘It is particularly important in a multi-cultural town such as Torrevieja.’ She was also keen to thank the teachers who took part and volunteered their time.

The new tanatorio is located on the Casagrande industrial estate (Avenida de Delfina Viudes) and has been designed differently from other similar buildings. It belongs to Grupo ASV Servicios Funerarios who have a number of other tanatorios in the region. There are a few innovative differences to the new premises which include the use of an App to announce the date and time of the ceremony as well as an opportunity to share memories. You can even retain some DNA from the deceased if you wish. ‘The new concept behind this is to make it more homely for family and friends,’ explains José Miguel Pérez Samper, the director of the centre. ‘We’re breaking the taboos that usually surround it.

Five suffer smoke inhalation Five members of the same family were taken to hospital as a result of smoke inhalation following a fire at their flat. The fire was the result of a short circuit of a kitchen appliance that was located on their terrace. The five affected included three children of between six and 12 years old and their parents. The fire started on Sunday 28th May in the apartment on Calle Joaquín Chapaprieta in Torrevieja at 8.30am.

BITE SIZE Accusations continue NEWS: about use of mobiles Continued from page 6 the fire was put out by 9am. Their rapid intervention prevented further injury or the fire spreading. The origin of the fire is being investigated but it is thought it was probably the result of a short circuit of an electrodomestic product. As a result of the intense smoke the family had to be taken away in ambulances. The father inhaled most smoke and they were all given oxygen. This is the second time recently that a fire has broken out in this building. On the 12th May a disabled man died in a similar incident. The flats are characterised by the number of grills they have for security purposes. These add to the difficulty of rescuing people if a fire does break out.
Walkway boards replaced in La Mata The councillor for beaches, Javier Manzanares, informed the press that the wood in the walkways of La Mata are due to be changed. The work is intended to improve accessibility for those with disabilities. ‘This is something that we have been asked to do by many people,’ explained the councillor. ‘We are using wood that we already have available. We hope to reduce the number of falls previously caused by the old wooden slats.’ The work began on the 25th May and is hoped to improve both accessibility and safety.
Rock against cancer On Saturday 10th June from 5pm there will be the second Rock Against Cancer event held in Calle Apolo, 12, Torrevieja. The event is organised by Monroe’s bar in conjunction with AECC, Assocación Española Contra el Cancer. There will be face painting and art workshops for children as well as music concerts and performances by different bands. Everyone is welcome to attend this event and enjoy the afternoon and evening whilst also raising money for the AECC. Suzanne O’Connell
Councillors are allowed to claim expenses for the use of mobile phones for public business. However, there is an ongoing dispute about what is and what isn’t acceptable use in Torrevieja. The case had been brought to court of the inappropriate use of mobiles for private use during the previous PP administration. However, on 26th May, Councillor Fanny Serrano (right) announced, the amount that was believed to have been inappropriately used was not sufficient to warrant prosecutions as a criminal offence. As a result the case has been closed. However, the town hall still wishes to pursue what they consider to be a debt to the public. There are plans to chase the excessive use that some councillors are alleged to have
made and ensure that any calls that were not on council business are paid for from the correct source. ‘It isn’t so much the amount that was wrongly funded but the fact that it was done at all,’ explains Councillor Serrano. ‘It is the political and moral irresponsibility to make private use of public money that we take issue with.’ One of the councillors accused was forced to resign not because of the number of calls made but because of the sexual nature of these. Since the issue came to light Eduardo Dolón has spoken to his team to ensure that not a penny is spent on private calls but only those made whilst carrying out public duty. Suzanne O’Connell

Habaneras in the park On Sunday 4th June there will be the second ‘Habaneras en el Parque’ concert. This event brings together nature and music with the participation of local schools. The event takes place in the natural park of the Lagunas de la Mata and Torrevieja at 11am. The councillor for the environment, Fanny Serrano, made the announcement on the 26th May. Last year the concert was enjoyed by many and provided opportunity for participating school children to take part in other events
Meléndez a park volunteer and music teacher. ‘The culture that the habaneras tradition represents and the natural beauty that there is in Torrevieja.’ The Music conservatory and Cuba primary school will participate as they did last year but there will also be contributions from La Inmaculada primary school with the support of their music teacher Estafanía Huertas. This year the theme will be pirates and will include the story of salt smuggling in the 18th century in Torrevieja.
Councillor Fanny Serrano (third from left) and participants make the announcement
organised there. The choir from CEIP Cuba (primary school) are already signed up. ‘This events brings together two key aspects of Torrevieja,’ explains Ana
Around this theme, the students of La Inmaculada school have invented a play to perform. The music will be played by the conservatory’s teachers and pupils
and accompanied by the choir of Cuba school. The headteacher of the school pointed out; ‘This will be a marvellous experience for the children, the parents and the teachers.’ The musical pieces to be sung include ‘El Pirata’, ‘El Marinero’, ‘El Ruiseñor y la Flor’. There will also be a performance of the composition which was created for last year’s event ‘Laguna Bella’ with words by Ana Torres and music by Javier Susarte. In total 80 people will participate in the show and it will take place outside in between the vineyards and the lakes. It’s a day in the countryside and aims to be informal and relaxed, like a picnic. The director of the park, Francisco Martínez, is happy with the plans and hopes that there will be more schools taking part this year. Suzanne O’Connell
Eduardo Dolón fined for prevarication The involvement of Councillor Eduardo Dolón (right) in the Vela Mata night club investigation continues. The disco was closed in 2015 but before that it is alleged that there were irregularities in its activities. The investigation centres around whether Dolón and Councillor Francisco Moreno turned a blind eye to denuncias made by neighbours and Guardia Civil against the Vela Mata night club.
During the course of this investigation,
Eduardo Dolón has also been accused of prevarication. It is claimed that Councillor Dolón made an objection to the procedures of the court which the Judge has since challenged, claiming that all the parties were aware of the circumstances and did not object at the time. A fine of €200 was levied which is likely to be around €500 in total and will be paid by the town hall. Suzanne O’Connell

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE An average week for the euro left it unchanged, on average, against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies. It added one US cent and strengthened by more than a cent and a half against the last-placed British pound. Over the last month it was the top-performing major currency, picking up two and a third cents against sterling. German Chancellor Angela Merkel sent the euro half a cent higher on
Monday when she said "the euro is too weak - that is because of European Central Bank policy". The €Z economic data were broadly helpful too, especially those from Germany. That was not the case with sterling: the CBI reported weaker-than-expected retail sales in June and Britain's first quarter growth was revised down from 0.3% to an even feebler 0.2%. Investors are not holding their breath for any imminent improvement in the UK economy.
EU WARNS FRANCE AND SPAIN ON DEFICITS The EU has kept France and Spain on notice for excessive public spending, but absolved bailed-out Portugal after it stayed within the bloc's deficit limit for the first time since 2007. The European Commission, giving its opinions as part of its annual assessment of EU national budgets, also singled out Italy for running a worryingly high public debt. It said Portugal had left the commission's so-called excessive deficit procedure, becoming the first bailed-out nation from the Euro-zone debt crisis to fall back into the bloc's economic good graces. For Portugal “this is extremely good news,” EU Economy Commissioner Pierre Moscovici told a press conference. The commission said that Portugal's deficit fell
to 2.0 percent of annual output in 2016, well clear of the EU's limit of 3.0 percent. However France and Spain are on-going EU rule-breakers when it comes to running up and maintaining deficits. Freshly-elected French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to reduce public overspending with tough reforms and spending cuts. The deficit in France hit 3.4 percent last year. Spain, which suffered a major real estate crash in the worst of the debt crisis, saw its deficit land at 4.5 percent of output last year, one of the highest in the EU. Italy, with an accumulated debt of 133 percent of gross domestic product in 2016, was in major breach EU rules which limit debt to 60 percent of GDP.

Concerned about QROPS? QROPS
(Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes) have become very popular for expatriates since their introduction. They are a tax efficient way for expatriates to hold their pensions outside the UK and offer a whole host of benefits for the client when executed correctly. However, in years gone by we have seen several Financial Advisers not only here in Spain but worldwide, poorly manage such plans and in some cases offer inappropriate advice with very little on‐going advice or direction. Here at Seagate we are in a unique position and can offer UK Regulated Pensions along‐ side Internationally based plans, giving our clients the peace of mind that their pension is being regulated under the watchful eye of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA regulate all UK based Financial Services companies. In addition to this we use recognised UK Investment providers such as Prudential to look after the growth of your pension. We meet with our clients on a six monthly basis giving flexibility and control to ensure the best outcome for their pension fund. Your retirement should be about living life the way you want with the financial security you deserve.

Springtime is a good time to not only check on your Perennials, but to divide them as well. These are plants that live for more than two years, which is great, as they provide you with vegetables/fruit year upon year - as long as they are tidied up a bit and not left abandoned. However, some of them can live for only a few years and others for a long time.
THE APRICOT (Prunus armeniaca) named because it is believed that they originated in Armenia. They have also been grown in Iran for many centuries and dried, which is a favourite way of eating them for the locals. The Apricot tree generally is small and only grows to a height of around 39 feet tall (maximum) and the trunk is about 16 inches in diameter. You can have many or just the one as they do not need other trees for pollination - they can do it themselves! When you plant your tree make sure you cover over the base and roots with soil, patting it down as you go along, as with most other plants/trees. They bloom earlier than most other fruits, so if there is an early frost, be careful of them, plant on a higher part of soil in your garden if at all possible. If your apricot tree gets frost on it and there are flowers, it will kill these off and therefore the tree will produce hardly any fruit at all if any. The fruit has one central stone to it with the seed inside this, for replanting, if you want to start from scratch!
It would possibly be better to plant it in September, before the autumn, so that it has long enough to take root before the winter comes along. They neither like the extreme cold nor heat, so don’t put it in an area all on it’s own, have other things growing around it to protect it. If you want to have large fruit on your tree you need to pick them as they
grow to keep them apart from one another - about two inches apart should do the trick. A beautiful plant that should be showing off at the moment is from the Asteraceae family and is known as the Rhodanthemum catananche. Its flowers have peach coloured petals with silvery leaves and are blooming right now and will go through to the summer too. I have seen them on the side of the roads and
they are glorious. They are quite hardy as originated from the Atlas mountain range of Morocco and Algeria, so can withstand our winter season as well as the summer. It normally blooms in early May but of course this depends on the weather and it can either come a few weeks earlier or later. Lastly for this week a few things to do: - Don’t forget to pick off any dead parts of plants now as the frost looks to have gone and then they can start their regrowth once again. Everything should have been planted by now that warrants it and well watered to get the roots growing before the heat of the sun really kicks in. Any plants that require feeding should be fed now too, basically great care of plants as they start their new lifecycle. Clear out any old seed packets (past sell by date), broken plant pots (unless wanted for mosaics or edging for boarders), bits of old broken hosepipe and so on. Make sure all gardening tools are clean and sharpened and put in a safe place away from youngsters who may cause themselves harm. Marc Vijverberg

Should I tell?
Suicide attempt
My 15 year old sister took an STD test and disposed of the test packet in my bedroom bin. Our mum found it and assumed it was mine. I realised it was my sister’s and didn’t say anything at the time, but now I am regretting it because my mum now thinks my boyfriend must be playing around. My sister made me swear not to tell Mum, but now she is taking pregnancy tests and I am worried she’ll get pregnant. She doesn’t have a boyfriend but is having one-nighters with lads she meets casually.
My friend tried to take her own life recently. Her parents were away, and she knew I was going round. When I arrived, I found the front door open and my friend passed out on her bed. She left a note saying she had taken a number of painkillers. I called for an ambulance and help came. Later it turned out she hadn’t taken enough pills to cause her death, so it was just a cry for help. She told me a while ago that her step-dad had abused her when she was young. Her mum is divorced now and so I think she should tell her mum what happened.
I think you need to tell your mum. You are taking the rap for the STD test etc, and your Mum is looking badly at your boyfriend as a result. I notice your sister is placing evidence in YOUR bin, not her own, and, not even throwing the test away completely. It could be she is doing it deliberately so that your Mum finds it and blames you. I wonder why your sister would want to set you up, and also why you are protecting her?
I hope your friend received psychiatric help from the hospital after the incident. However, I think you should talk to her about whether she told her mum, and the medical professionals about the abuse. As her step father is now not the scene, this hopefully means that she is no longer at risk. Your friend can overcome this with the right help, but she needs to seek it. Luckily, she has a good friend to talk to.

WELCOME TO SEGOVIA with Vivalia Travel Segovia is a city in the autonomous region of Castil
World Heritage City In 1985 the old city of Segovia and its Aqueduct were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The old city contains a multitude of historic buildings both civil and religious, including a large number of buildings of Jewish origin, notably within the old Jewish Quarter. One of the most historically important Jewish sites is the Jewish cemetery, El Pinarillo. Among the most important monuments in the city are: • The Aqueduct of Segovia, located in Plaza del Azoguejo, is the defining historical feature of the city, dating from the late 1st or early 2nd century CE.Like a number of other aqueducts in Spain, Segovia’s Roman-built aqueduct receives attention for being one of the “extraordinary engineering accomplishments” existing in the country, wrote Alejandro Lapunzina in Reference Guides to National Architecture: Architecture of Spain. It is still used to deliver drinking water. “The aqueduct of Segovia is – because of its long span, architectural beauty, uncharacteristic slenderness, and dramatic presence in the center of a dense urban fabric – the most impressive Roman structure in Spain, and one of the most famous among the numerous aqueducts built by the Romans throughout their vast Empire,” Lapunzina wrote. It consists of about 25,000 granite blocks held together without any mortar, and spans 818 meters with more than 170 arches, the highest being 29 metres high. • The Alcazar of Segovia, the royal palace built on a stone
peninsula between the rivers Eresma and Clamores, is documented for the first time in 1122, although it may have existed earlier. It was one of the favored residences of the kings of Castile, built in the transition from Romanesque architecture to Gothic and Mudéjar. The building is structured around two courtyards and has two towers, and a keep. It was a favourite residence of Alfonso X the Wise and Henry IV, and Isabella the Catholic was crowned Queen of Castile in Segovia's Plaza Mayor. Devastated by a fire in 1862, it was later rebuilt. It now houses the General Militar de Segovia archive and museum of the Royal School of Artillery, managed by the Board of the Alcazar. • The Segovia Cathedral, the last Gothic cathedral built in Spain. It is considered a masterpiece of Basque-Castilian Gothic architecture and is known as "The Lady of Cathedrals.Juan Gil de Hontañón, Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón, and other masters of Spanish architecture worked on the construction Churches and chapels The city maintains an important collection of Romanesque churches of both stone and brick, which include the churches of San Esteban, San Millán, San Martín, la Santísima Trinidad, San Andrés, San Clemente, Santos Justo y Pastor, la Vera Cruz, and San Salvador. The old main synagogue is a former synagogue, converted into a convent after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492.

As part of her desire to help the expat community to discover the real Spain, local Spanish lady Begona Josa del Portillo is offered a range of tailored trips and tours that aim to offer something completely different to those organised by large tour companies. These aim to discover the hidden gems of Spanish heritage and culture, with traditional food and wine weaved in for good measure. For many years Begona has been an integral link between the local Spanish and ex-pat communities offering Spanish language and Spanish cooking lessons. It is the popularity of these courses and the influence of her students that has led to Begona organising tailored trips and tours. Begona has just organised her first vineyard and wine tasting tour of the year to Bodega Florentino Perez in La Mancha – and it is a day-trip like no other. It will take place on Tuesday 11th July and is priced at just 22 euros per person. Located in La Finca ‘El Cercao and nestled among its 18 hectares of vineyards and surrounded by a totally natural environment, the Bodegas Don Florentino are located between vineyards, with a large garden and outdoor patio in front of the impressive main facade. The bodega celebrates an entire family dedicated to the cultivation of the vine for several generations. The land of Don Quixote offers a unique place to relax and
enjoy the best gastronomy of the local country side accompanied by some of the finest wines of the region. The tour, which Begona hopes to run monthly, will begin with a typical Spanish breakfast at the Bodega – bocadillo, jamon, manchego cheese, coffee…and wine! The group will

then begin its extensive guided tour of the vineyard and wine producing facilities. The tour will cover all aspects of wine production from the type of grape, how it is grown, nurtured and harvested to the wine making process and storage. The group will then experience an eat-all-you-can traditional five-course lunch of typical Spanish fayre, accompanied by wines of the bodega. There is then the opportunity to visit the official bodega store and buy any of the wines produced. The afternoon will be spent in the picturesque village of Alcala del Jucar, where an official local guide will help the group discover the hidden gems nestled in this beautiful location, including the traditional cave houses. At just 22 euros per person this tour is expected to sell out fast, so speedy booking is advisable; to do so please call Begona on 622 188 772.

The Councillor for Tourism, Sofía Álvarez, has hosted a group of tour operators which specialise in golf breaks during their visit to the city of Orihuela. The group is currently enjoying a promotional trip as part of the “Costa Blanca IAGTO Trophy”, which is being held at the moment in the province of Alicante. The International Association of Golf Tour Operators is made up of more than 2,400 members from 93 countries, all specialists in golf tourism, tournament organisers, travel agencies, accommodation providers and media. The current promotional tour has been organised by the Valencian Tourism Agency, the provincial representative of the Costa Blanca, and the Association of Golf Courses of the Costa Blanca. Sophia Alvarez said: “You cannot miss out
Orihuela when you are looking at golf as it has five courses. This makes our city one of the favorite destinations for players and fans of this sport.” The group toured the main streets of Orihuela and enjoyed a walk along Calle Mayor, while visiting the exterior of the Cathedral, where the singers of the Passion delighted them with their traditional singing. Later, they tasted local produce of Orihuela at the Palace Hotel Tudemir, where they met with the managers and directors of the golf courses Orihuela. The Councillor of Tourism stressed that “with this type of initiative we can position Orihuela on the worldwide golf map in all aspects, as the provision of the sport is complemented by the tourism offer.” Mireille Toddington

He said: “We request the help and support of local communities so that the collection of pruning and appliances is more effective and complies with what the municipal ordinance requires.” For this reason, an awareness campaign will be launched in the coming weeks. In addition, the Councillor also indicated some of the bidding processes that are currently underway such as the list of leasing two vehicles for the transport of personnel to the coast and other vehicles to carry out specific collections.

Jihadists arrested Self-taught combat-trained Jihad terrorists were caught in Madrid hours before Manchester attack. Police in Madrid arrested the two Jihad terrorists, believed to be involved in indoctrinating and recruiting, in a swoop believed to have taken place shortly before the Manchester Arena attack which has so far killed 22 people. One of the men caught in the Spanish capital, aged 43, maintained ‘continuous and incessant contact with over 100 internet sites’ aimed at training DAESH members, National Police say. They have been on his trail for some time after discovering he was a ‘prolific consumer’ of ‘highly-sensitive audio-visual material’, including video tutorials on how to manufacture homemade explosives using easy-to-access ingredients and simple techniques. This is considered evidence of ‘an advanced state of radicalisation’ and meant he was very dangerous, investigators reveal. He and another man, aged 22, had been exposed to videos and websites aimed at teaching would-be terrorists to become what is known as inghimasi, or combat-trained individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to commit attacks in
Europe using techniques seen in the recent spate of massacres in the UK, France, Belgium and Germany. These included suicide bombing as the main modus operandi. Both men are said to have been behind the mass distribution of recruitment, training and conversion material in a role now described as ‘cyber-soldiers’. Police say the two suspects had a very limited social circle and spent most of their time shut away in their respective homes, but were in constant contact with each other. Ever since Spain upped its terror alert to level 4 – the highest being 5 and a military-controlled state of emergency – on 26th June, 2015, police in the country have arrested 164 Jihad terror suspects both on Spanish soil and abroad. In total, since the beginning of 2015 or in nearly two-and-a-half years, they have caught 212, none of which had come close to staging any possible attack. As part of its pro-active campaign to nip DAESH terrorism in the bud, the interior ministry has set up a platform titled Stop Radicalismos, which can be reached via its own dedicated website, via the mobile phone App 'AlertCops', or via the anonymous free-phone telephone number 900 822 066.
Spain urges EU to boost intelligence sharing to prevent attacks
former ambassador to the EU added. The EU's 28 nations have their own intelligence agencies and countries are often wary of sharing hard-won intelligence with other nations. But Dastis said EU member states must “establish a level of trust that allows for the fluid exchange of information.” Children were among those killed and dozens injured in the suicide bombing last Monday night at a pop concert by US star Ariana Grande in Britain's deadliest extremist attack in 12 years. “We are making an effort and are increasing our cooperation every day but I think that when it comes to this fight we still must improve the sharing of information and our joint work in this area,” Dastis said. The EU has faced calls to boost its intelligence sharing since the November 2015 attacks in Paris which killed 130 people after it emerged that several of the attackers had been on the radar of authorities in various countries, providing opportunities to stop them.
EU member states must boost intelligence sharing to prevent attacks like the one in Manchester which killed 22 people, including children, Spain's foreign minister said recently. “We have to work together to end once and for all this wretched scourge,” Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis told a news conference when asked if the European Union could do more to thwart such attacks. “We have to work together, especially by pooling the information that we have, with the awareness that nobody is exempt from this madness,” Spain's

Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada & published author of “Moving Forward – 25 Essential Rules For Buying & Selling Real Estate Without Going Crazy.” Request your FREE copy today! When you talk about property, everyone has an opinion; sometimes it’s a valid and realistic point of view, but there are times when an opinion can be very wrong. As a professional Real Estate Agent, it’s our job to guide both buyers and sellers in achieving their goal; when a buyer is looking for a specific investment, we select what could fit their search criteria. When a seller is searching for the ideal buyer, we actively look for the right person that could “fit the bill” perfectly. However, there are times when buyers’ emotions can distort an opportunity. Everyone has valid reasons for moving home. For some, it might be time to relocate themselves and their family to embark on a new and better life. For others, it might be a need for extra rooms, or even the opposite, and downsizing when the family have flown the nest, is their choice. But then, there are some circumstances when people are forced to sell their home, due to financial or health reasons, and that’s when it’s our task to be compassionate, and guide them the best and quickest way in achieving a sale. In my job, it can pull at your heartstrings, especially when life in general is not going according to plan for
Those living in Spain should drink more water Barley one in five people living in Spain drinks enough water – despite the extreme heat the country experiences in summer. According to a research paper presented at Spain's Royal National Academy of Medicine, only 13 percent of men drink the recommended two-and-a-half litres of water a day, and only 22 percent of women drink their advised two litres. The average man in Spain only drinks 1.7 litres of water, and a typical woman in the country consumes 1.6 litres. This deficit may appear minor, but at just 20 percent - 400 millilitres below the recommended amount for women, or half a litre for men – can cause tiredness and early-onset dehydration; in fact, it is said that even ‘feeling thirsty’ means the body is starting to dehydrate. The human body is 65 percent water, meaning it needs constant rehydration to function. Medics from the International Cathedra of Advanced Hydration Studies (CIEAH) recommend 70 percent to 80 percent of daily liquid consumption should be water, and in the 'drink pyramid', the next layer up would be fluids with no calories, such as green tea or fruit or herbal infusions, or water with a squeeze of lemon. The third level should be drinks that
provide some nutritional value, such as hot beverages with milk, and finally drinks with added sugar, although these are not necessary and occupy the same slot on the 'liquid pyramid' as refined sugar, sweets and desserts do on the ‘nutritional pyramid’. Compared with France, Spaniards do not get enough water despite longer periods of the year with a higher temperature – in Spain's northern neighbour, men drink 2.3 litres of water on average per day and women, 2.1. Even then, men consume a belowaverage amount, but given that northern French climates are similar to those of southern England in winter, their need is not as great as those in Spain. Acording to the European Food Safety Authority, however, drinking enough water is necessary year-round, even in the depths of winter – albeit more fluid is needed when it is hot, especially in
children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and the elderly. The report, Beverage consumption habits among the European population: Association with total water and energy intake also compared Italians with Spain, and found the amount of water drunk per day is very similar in both countries. Previous studies have claimed humans can count infusions, tea – even with milk – and non-sugary water-based drinks towards anything between a quarter and a half of their daily two litres, depending upon where the figures come from. Extra water is needed to offset alcohol, which dehydrates, and although coffee has been found in recent years to bring health benefits – with claims it can even stave off dementia, as well as being high in fibre – this also reduces body fluid and cannot count towards the ‘allowance’. Few studies are available on the maximum recommended water intake per day, despite the fact that too much can be dangerous. Excessive water consumption can cause light-headedness, dizziness, headaches and malnutrition due to vitamins and minerals being lost. Dieticians normally advise judging by urine colour, which should be a very pale shade of straw, but not completely clear.
some selected sellers. But, I always tell them to try not to stress about life’s hurdles, and attempt to “go with the flow.” Sometimes, due to one man’s misfortune, another man can make a great investment; especially when we are able to match the two of them together, of which can be extremely rewarding. But one thing will always remain; unless you have been specifically informed of the reason the home is for sale, never assume you know why! Believe me, my job can be unbelievably stressful when I sit and hear some very sad reasons for needing to sell a property quickly, and pricing it well below market value is the sellers’ only option of a quick exit. An hour of crying with the homeowner makes you really appreciate all of the positives you have in your life, even if you don’t think they’re much. Then the day comes when that property sells and the homeowner holds your hand and thanks you with tears in his eyes, for helping to release him of one of the obstacles in his life, in order to focus on what’s more important for his immediate future, is true job satisfaction. There are happy moments too, when we do experience some wonderful reasons why people decide to sell, such as starting on a new adventure like marriage, where maintaining two houses isn’t practical anymore, and letting go of one property is a joyful reason for selling. Or their family is expanding, and the need for more space is more of a necessity. So you see, there are always genuine reasons for selling property, just spare a thought for those who need to sell a little quicker than others. Who knows, even if you’re not looking to buy, maybe you know someone that is! You’ll never really know whomyou could be helping. Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!

THE MOON & THE CYCLE OF LIFE Hi Alison, I have heard about the full moon and how it can be more magical at that time is this true? I have always been intrigued by moonlight and it makes me feel happy somehow. Does this make sense? I hope you don't mind me messaging you, it’s just something I have always been curious about. Dear Debbie, I love the moon too, and it has always intrigued me. My Mum told me how, when I was a little girl, I asked “Why is there a big button up in the sky Mummy?” She corrected me, saying it wasn’t a button at all, but something called The Moon and how some people, especially children, can see a face in the moon particularly when it is a clear night, and the moon is full. Of course there and then, me and my sister got excited as both of us could see the face of ‘the man in the moon’. For me, that’s when the magic of the moon began. Ancient people were in awe of the moon and those living by the sea noticed that the high tides coincided with the full moon which is a time of the brightest light and ecstasy where in the past, ancient worshippers sang, danced, and took part in rituals of fertility. The moon was also worshiped by the Egyptians. By the light of the silvery moon.The moon definitely makes people feel happy. It is our friend, lighting the way when we are lost by sharing its silvery light with us to guide us home. It is the second brightest object in the sky. The moon's gleaming radiance has inspired people to worship it, walk on it, and paint it. The moon is also closely linked to love. Think Romeo and Midsummer Night’s Dream. The Cycle of Life. Believe it or not, the moon is one of
the most consistent events in our lives. It is always there, each evening no matter what’s happening on earth. It waxes larger, shines when it is full, and wanes to a fingernail sliver before starting the sequence all over again. The moon was worshipped by primitive man, and the monthly cycle of the moon denotes human fertility as well as thousands of years ago being the measure of all time. So the moon is, quite literally, indicative of the Cycle of Life. Deities of the Moon. The Angels of the Moon are Archangel Haniel, and Archangel Gabriel. The Ancient Romans and Greeks believed that the moon was female, mainly due to her monthly cycles. They revered their Moon Goddesses - Selene, who was the sister of the Sun, and the Dawn, and Hecate who was the Goddess of the not yet risen Moon. Hecate was of ‘the dark side’ - the realm of ghosts, ghouls and witches. Crystals. The crystal that is named after the moon is Moonstone which is silvery blue. It is said to shine with captured moonbeams. In India, it is known as being sacred, representing the third eye (the all Seeing Eye) bringing wisdom and good fortune to all who wear it. During the full moon, I put all my crystals out under the moonbeams in order to charge them and to make them even more magical. Magic of the Moon So there you have it. The moon closely linked to love, but also having a dark side, too. It will rise in the sky every night within our lifetime - casting its mysterious glow, being ever present, and ever so magical.

SOLUTION FOR Brexit BILINGUAL CROSSWORD
The Spanish Government must send to Great Britain its ‘best men’ to achieve the best of the commercial and trade agreements possible after Brexit. So affirmed the Professor of Economics and President of the Social Council of the Castilla-La Mancha University, Emilio Ontiveros, who emphasised that Spain ‘has too many eggs in the British market basket to lose them from a bad accord.’ These comments were made in the framework of the closing arguments of the conference ‘III Days for Economy Professionals’, which was organised by the Albacete Economists College. With Spanish growth up to 3 percent this year, we cannot allow any dark clouds on the horizon ahead as this would be especially catastrophic for Spain – given its open borders. Brexit must be ‘friendly and quick’ given the British are our best tourist and foreign home owners – more than 800,000 have purchased property here. Second dark cloud concerns Donald Trump for his protectionist and his exclusionary policies.

BAKERS OBJECT TO PROVERB Spanish bakers have objected to a traditional proverb and are calling for its removal from Spanish dictionary. The proverb which says bread is ‘food for idiots’ has caused offense resulting in bakers demanding its removal from the dictionary saying: “We idiots are legion, those of us who enjoy a good loaf.” A petition via the website ElPanNoEs ComidaDeTontos.com says keeping the traditional expression in the official monolingual dictionary of the Spanish language ‘devalues the baking profession’, and have written to the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) and the Cervantes Institute, responsible for language standardisation in the same way as the Oxford English Dictionary, calling for them to amend the text. Alongside the defintion for pan, or bread, one of the contexts for its use in popular language reads: “Pan con pan, comida de tontos,” or “bread with bread, the food of idiots.” Whilst bakers say the RAE and the
Cervantes Institute ‘have a responsibility to the public’ in terms of ‘promoting correct use of the Spanish language’, a spokesman from the RAE has replied that, ‘as is normally the case’ when these controversies arise, the organisation ‘does not pass judgment’ on the social sensitivity or otherwise of a recognised definition or context of a given word.

signatures including those of magician and comedian Luis Piedrahita and TV presenter Tania Llasera. This is not the first time an association has campaigned for the RAE to change a dictionary definition – one of the many recent requests was from parents of autistic children, who said many families in their situation were ‘distraught’ to see how the description of ‘autism’ in the dictionary included references to the child being ‘incapable of feeling or showing love or affection’, and which is not believed to be a typical feature of the condition.

These youngsters acted on the orders of the son-in-law of one of the big wigs, and who was also enjoying a luxurious lifestyle. Tonnes of cannabis were transported to the UK from Spain in lorries carrying consignments of bricks, and when the two ringleaders and their brother-in-law – whom the younger men worked for – were arrested, a shoebox containing €120,000 in cash was unearthed. Another 18 people, mostly British and believed to be all male, were arrested after 12 properties in the provinces of Alicante, Málaga, Tarragona and Barcelona were raided. Police seized 1,646 marijuana plants and 58 hash buds ready for transport. Several cargoes of up to 400 kilos at a time had been shipped to the UK already. The lorries were supposed to be carrying marble slabs, but were packed into boxes which in fact contained bricks

Brit run drug gang smashed Merseyside police traced an explosion in a Liverpool flat to a massive international drug-smuggling racket involving 21 Brits in four Spanish provinces and the northwest of England. Working closely with police in Spain after finding an arsenal of home-made bombs and 150 kilos of speed and five kilos of cannabis in the Liverpool property in March, officers from Merseyside have helped capture the last few members of the gang this week. The researchers led to the determination of a drug trafficking gang led by two brothers who were trafficking narcotics from Spain to the UK. Later, the agents uncovered criminal activity in Spain by a group under the control of the two brothers and all were British citizens aged between 22 and 25. Most of the accused parties who carried out the spadework for the smuggling operation were young British men living in upmarket neighbourhoods in Barcelona and Marbella and driving

along with the drugs to obtain a similar weight and avoid their being inspected. Vehicles were loaded for transport at a warehouse in Roda de Bara, Tarragona province, where one of the gang lived and where the hash was packaged up for shipping. CCTV cameras had been installed by the gang, who monitored them closely. A total of 24 people have been arrested, including the first three in Liverpool in March.

UK bought a third of Spanish arms exports The United Kingdom is not only Spain’s biggest investment destination and the country that provides it with the largest number of tourists; it is also the main customer of the Spanish defence industry. In 2016, Spain sold Britain arms to the tune of €1.3 billion, equivalent to 33.2 percent of total military sales, according to a report by the Spanish Secretary of State for Trade. Defence sales to the United Kingdom are part of European Union (EU) arms programs that will be affected by Brexit. Last year, Spain increased its weapons sales by 8.9 percent on 2015, to just over €4 billion, contributing 1.6 percent of the €254.5 billion total of Spanish exports. The report presented to Congress on defense material and dual-use goods – products and technologies normally used for civilian purposes but that may have military applications – notes that 62.1 percent of Spanish arms sales in 2016 went to EU members, chief among them the United Kingdom. For the last decade, Britain has been among the top four customers of Spain’s defense industry. In 2016, the United Kingdom bought four Airbus A400M transport planes and
two Airbus Multi Role Transport Tanker (MRTT) air-to-air refueling aircraft, along with spare parts for the Eurofighter 2000, all of them part of EU arms programs. Britain is expected to remain part of these programs after it leaves the EU, but will find it harder to join future projects, which could deprive the Spanish defence industry of its main market. Two-thirds of Spanish arms sales went to EU members or NATO partners, with a third spread out among 52 countries, chief among them Egypt, Oman, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. Sales linked to multinational programs amounted to €1.9 billion, or 48% of the total, while the aeronautical sector made up 78.5 percent. However, the biggest customers of Spain’s ammunition manufacturing industry – most closely linked to conflicts – are in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia was the biggest purchaser last year, spending €75.9 million, followed by Iraq, with €38 million, and Morocco with €29.9 million. These three countries make up half of Spanish exports of ammunition, bombs, projectiles, missiles and explosives.

Steroid drug factory dismantled in Murcia A clandestine laboratory preparing doping substances has been dismantled in Murcia. The National Police has detained four in the region and one in Orihuela who obtained the active raw ingredients from China to then distribute them locally to gyms and bodybuilding shops on the Levante. Agents from the National Police have detained in Murcia and Alicante, five members of an organised group dedicated to the production and distribution of ‘false medicaments’. Those now in custody, acquired the main ingredient from China to secretly manufacture drugs, using laboratory material for the fabrication process, according to police sources. Nine searches have been made and have resulted in a production laboratory in Murcia being dismantled where they confiscated more than 100 types of pills and capsules damaging to health. The investigation started from the root of an earlier case, code named ‘Pértiga’ when 15 were detained, former Olympic athletes among them, and the deactivation of a network acquiring prohibited substances for use in sport to increase physical performance. The information analysed led the agents to the Murcia region where after numerous enquiries, the agents uncovered an organised criminal gang dedicated to illegally selling false bodybuilding drugs and concentrating Alicante and Murcia. Discovery lead to the Chinese link and the gang’s purchasing of the laboratory equipment and the main raw ingredient which they used to produce and pack their products, according to the same sources. The illegally produced drugs claimed to increase muscle mass and apart from the gyms, two shops selling such growth hormones were discovered in Orihuela and Alcantarilla, run by two members of the organisation. Once all the members of the illegal drug distribution network were established, the agents proceeded to arrest five people, three in Murcia City, and one in Alcantarilla and two in Orihuela. One of the three in Murcia had a laboratory which had the capacity to produce more than six million false medicaments annually, and where more than 100 types of health-damaging products, production machinery, laboratory material and 10,000 euros in cash.

Health & Beauty Business Profile
Banish thin skin and plump up the volume As we age – particularly if we are slim – our faces can take on a gaunt, sunken appearance because we lose collagen as we get older. Collagen is the building block of skin, and as it diminishes, so too does the plump skin of our youth. Thankfully though there are ways to restore lost collagen and replump skin. Medcare Aesthetic Centres in Benijofar and Alfaz del Pi offers a number of treatments to stimulate collagen and improve ageing skin. Sculptra This treatment involves injecting a substance called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) into the face. PLLA triggers fibroblast cells in skin to secrete collagen and has been used in surgical sutures for many years and therefore is known to be safe to use. It does not remain in the skin but activates cells which continue to produce collagen over a period of time. As its your own collagen that’s plumping your face, its completely natural. One of Medcare’s Sculptra patients said ‘I was always being told I looked tired and miserable and on one occasion was even told, by a complete stranger, to cheer up! Looking in the mirror I could see what people meant; I looked drawn and miserable. I had an initial consultation with Dr Hussain which was very informative and I decided to go ahead.During the first session I was very nervous but I need not have worried as
the procedure was not painful, just a little uncomfortable. After several more sessions, the results are absolutely incredible. I have had so many comments about how well I look and I certainly feel better about myself. Anyone thinking of taking the ‘plunge’ should definitely not hesitate. I would thoroughly recommend Sculptra and, of course, Dr Hussain.’ Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) This is another way to stimulate collagen and this clever procedure uses your own blood to improve skin texture and leave it looking younger, plumper and fresher. A small amount of blood, taken from your arm, is spun to separate it into red and white cells and platelets. The healing properties of platelets perform the magic when they’re injected back into the face, neck or décolletage. They help rebuild and repair damaged and aged skin cells, and growth factors in the platelets stimulate collagen production, meaning plumper, younger looking skin. Book a free consultation to find out if PRP is right for you, or whether one of our other treatments – Sculptra, facial fillers, Botox, laser skin resurfacing or Dermapen - could give you the results you desire. For more information about these or other treatments at Medcare, book a free skin consultation by calling Medcare on 966 860 258, or by emailing doctors@medcarespain.com.

Healthy food habits you need to ditch New research and diet trends are changing all the time, including what foods are good for you and which are not. It’s hard to know what advice is based on fat and what a health fad that won't actually make you any healthier. Going low on sodium If you've ever had high blood pressure, you were probably told to cut down or stop consuming sodium. But a new study from Boston University that followed 2,600 people over 16 years found that a low-sodium diet didn't actually lower blood pressure. So salt might not be the enemy after all—and actually, a little salt might be part of a healthy food plan. The study also found that people with the lowest intake of sodium (along with the highest) had a greater risk of heart disease than the people in the middle. But, that doesn't mean you should go crazy eating processed foods that contain lots of sodium either. Avoiding dairy You may have heard the theory that drinking milk past infancy (or even drinking animal milk at all) is unnatural - as evidenced by 65 percent of people in the world being lactose intolerant. Although it is true that humans are the only species to drink milk as adults, or to drink milk regularly from other animals, research has shown we've genetically evolved to adapt to it. And in fact, milk products actually play an important role in our health.
Dairy is rich in beneficial nutrients such as whey protein, conjugated linoleic acid, and calcium. Not consuming fat As with dairy, fat in general may not be such a bad thing. The scientific community is still debating the benefits of saturated fat, but other types of fats are actually good for you in moderation, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Plant-based fats such as monounsaturated fats found in foods like almonds and avocado, and omega3 fatty acids found in fish offer many health benefits. These fats may reduce inflammation, improve blood lipid levels, and may even promote a lower body weight. Plus, many processed foods labelled ‘reduced fat’ have replaced the fat with sugar or additives, which actually make them more unhealthy. Worrying about cholesterol in food If you think you're being healthy by eating egg whites only, think again. Despite what we've been told for years, egg yolks, which are high in dietary cholesterol, can be healthy habit health foods. We used to think that dietary cholesterol impacted our [blood] cholesterol levels, and that foods rich in cholesterol such as eggs should be avoided. We now know that dietary cholesterol has little impact on blood cholesterol levels. Plus, blood cholesterol isn't so cut-and-dry either: There's so-called 'good' HDL cholesterol, which is thought to help
heart hearth (although this has recently been called into question), and ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol. Egg yolks are also a good source of vitamin E and carotenoids. Eating processed 'healthy' foods It may seem like diet products such as light salad dressing are healthier choices, but often they're really not. 'Healthy' foods like this used to be popular, but many of these products remove the fat and replace it with added sugars. Large amounts of added sugar in the diet may be even more damaging to health than excessive dietary fat. Going gluten-free if you're not allergic to gluten Gluten, found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye, has gotten a bad rap lately, and some people think it's healthier to go without it. But in reality, the opposite might be true. Unless you are truly allergic or intolerant to gluten, there is no need to avoid it. A study from Spain actually showed that going gluten-free led to reduced gut bacteria, which affects immune function. Another study from the University of Illinois also found that people who were gluten-free had higher levels of arsenic, probably because they tend to eat a lot of rice. In addition, some people promote glutenfree diets as a way to reduce body weight, however gluten-free foods may actually promote weight gain if you are not careful because they are often packed with calories.

Those interested in attending the Hospital Quirónsalud Murcia can request information by phone 968 011 197 or email prevencion.mur@quironsalud.esor through the webhttp://www.quironsalud.es/hospital -murcia Those who wish to do so at the Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja can obtain all the information by phone 966 925 770 or by email prevencion.trv@quironsalud.es or through the web http://www.quironsalud.es/torrevieja/es To perform the test it is necessary to be nil by mouth from the night before. Obesity, physical inactivity and poor nutrition increase the number of obese and diabetic people every year. Many are not aware of the fatal consequences of this chronic disease. Diabetes is a condition that is triggered when the body does not produce enough insulin or does not use it effectively. There are
several types: Type 1 diabetes is the most common childhood disease. The pancreas does not produce insulin, so an excess of blood sugar is created, which makes it necessary to provide the body with injected insulin. According to Oscar Boullosa, coordinator of the Diabetes Unit of the Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja, "type 2 diabetes is the most common, 90% of diabetic patients suffer with this type, they are generally over 40 years old, and their body does not produce enough insulin to take advantage of glucose or are resistant to it. These individuals require a balanced diet and exercise. “This multidisciplinary unit monitors all reviews of diabetic patients annually ensuring disease control. In Spain, about 26,000 children under the age of 15 suffer from type 1 diabetes, 13% of all diabetics. More than 5,500,000 people are estimated to suffer with type 2, of whom 43% are undiagnosed, that is, they do not know
they have the disease. Figures that are increasing and indicate that in 20 years could be increased by up to 55%. According to Carolina Pérez, nutrition specialist at the Obesity Unit of Murcia and Torrevieja, "new lifestyle habits, lack of exercise and bad lifestyle habitsand poor diet are becoming the worst
enemies of a chronic disease. Due to lack of time we now prepare fast food that is not in many cases a diet rich in vegetables, meat of good quality or fish, etc.” Experts call for prevention campaigns needed to alleviate the increase in type 2 cases. Campaigns that promote a healthy lifestyle will not only reduce the number of diabetics, but also many
other pathologies associated with poor eating habits. The possible cure of diabetes and obesity One in six adults are obese and one in four children are overweight, an ideal breeding ground for the illness. Diabetes can be cured and the data is clear: more than 70% of obese patients undergoing bariatric or metabolic surgery cease to become diabetic. "The effectiveness is immediate in patients with type 2 diabetes, who usually stop using insulin and medication in the weeks following the intervention," explains Dr. Juan Luján, head of service and head of the Unit for Obesity and General Surgery and Digestive System of Hospital Quirónsalud Murcia There are many cases of patients who have resorted to metabolic surgery, which acts on the area of the digestive tract where all the hormones that induce the metabolism of insulin are
involved. This intervention is especially successful in patients with a BMI greater than 35 with type 2 diabetes.

Sharing the Road and Responsibility It is important to remember that roads are shared spaces, where vehicles of different sizes and characteristics must operate together, providing a free flow for all, in the safest possible manner. We must also remember a second important factor, that all road traffic rules and laws, without exception, have one aim, that is to ensure the safety of everybody using the roads. It is common knowledge, albeit a somewhat bold statement to make, that every single one of us driving will break the law at some point, often on multiple times each day. That is not to say that when we do we are Whether driving too fast, too slow, using a mobile phone, drinking and driving, not using the mandatory safety devices, for example, they are activities which seriously risk road safety, but these risks, and all traffic laws, apply to all road users, and all types of vehicles. There have been a number of catastrophic incidents involving cyclists recently, and whereas no blame or responsibility is being placed on any party involved in those incidents, these have led to an increase in calls for “respect” on the road for cyclists. Of course, this is a very important notion to practice, but also a notion which works both ways. Cyclists, and motorcyclists, car, truck, bus drivers, all road users must practice respect for others in theses shard spaces. Vehicles must allow at least 1.5 metres clearance in order to overtake a cyclist,
and are permitted to cross the solid white line to do so, so long as no vehicles are coming towards them, and it is safe to do so, the only exception to the solid white line rule. Cyclists are allowed to ride two-abreast on the road, so long as they don´t impede the flow of traffic behind them, in which case they must move back into single file. Cyclists must keep to the right, as far right
as is safe to do so (like all vehicles incidentally), BUT AT certain times, cyclists can use more of the lane in order to negotiate certain hazards, again, so long as it is safe to do so. We wouldn´t expect to see two or more cars driving side by side on a single carriageway road, perhaps with their drivers distracted enough to be holding a conversation with each other, the very thought of it would spread fear and dread into many road users, nor is it acceptable for cyclists to take up more of the road than is necessary, and for them to be distracted is of the utmost risk. With all this said, many road users still complain about cyclists and their lack of
respect for the law, going through red lights, rising on the pavement, riding across pedestrian crossings, and complain that the Guardia Civil and Police do nothing about it. The reality is that traffic enforcement officers are taking action whenever they see any road user committing an offence, but there are not enough officers employed to watch every kilometre of the road. That is where the DGT´s airborne equipment is starting to ease the pressure, watching from the sky. Recently, the Pegasus equipped helicopters have increased their vigilance towards cyclists, trying to make sure that large groups comply with safe practice on the roads, and, on a number of occasions, have called ground officers to intercept the groups, advise them of their unsafe practices, such as riding three abreast, and, in some cases, issue on the spot fines. Remember, cycles are vehicles too, and are subject to the same laws as other. Ground officers also enforce the law when they see infractions y the way, as has been the case in a number of occasions, and they will continue to do so, for our part, it is not the job of other road users to police the road, or hinder the flow of anybody´s movement, nor is it our role or right to create a hazard. If we see infractions, or actions that we believe are unsafe, we can notify the authorities to deal with the situation, but primarily, at the time, stay back, stay clear, stay calm and stay safe.
Taxi protest reaches Orihuela Costa today Taxi drivers and their associations across Spain have been protesting over developments which they feel significantly harms their business, and those protest have been spreading across Spain, and will be supported by taxi drivers on the Orihuela Costa today (Tuesday 30th May) . Not only are taxi drivers facing damage to their business by the number of unlicensed, private vehicles operating as taxis on frequent “airport runs”, they are also facing the impact of a growing number of private rental vehicles, “vehículos con conductor” or “VTC”. The associations are demanding that the licencing sector comply with the agreement of 1 licenced VTC for every 30 licenced taxis, as listed in the Transportation Act of 1987. In certain locations, the ratio has increased to 1 VTC for every 7 taxis, and increasing. In Madrid, in the most recent protest, about a thousand taxi drivers demonstrated in front of the headquarters of the Ministry of Public Works to demand that the government “complies with the law.” The participants completed a journey between the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Works in about two hours, a procession which required the intervention of the National Police as the protest escalated. There have also been protests in other places in Spain, such as San Sebastian, Barcelona and Santander. , The employers in the VTC sector, Unauto, have criticised the accusations of
“intrusiveness” and “unfair competition”, as, unlike the pirate taxis, they are licenced by the autonomous communities and the operation is totally regulated and considered, like the taxi, as a public service by the regulations, although those regulations are the ones which dictate the 1 to 30 ratio which is being ignored. Now, the campaign is extending even further, with the next main protest scheduled for Tuesday, the 30th of May, in most major cities around Spain, with a centralised protest once again in Madrid. This time, the Orihuela Costa taxi association will also be joining in the protest, with a gathering outside the Zenia Boulevard shopping centre. The president of the association will drive to Madrid to join the main protest, but the rest of the association’s drivers will position themselves at the shopping centre from noon, and will not move for the next two hours. Although the protest will mean that there will be no taxis available during the protest, the drivers have agreed that they will still respond to emergencies, if needed. On Tuesday, there are likely to be major problems on the roads as the taxi drivers carrying out various activities to raise awareness of the message of their campaign, which is simply that they want the government to comply with the law in the same way that they must, albeit at a huge expense when it comes to their licences, vehicle maintenance and inspection regime.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
There is a theory that every time Aaron Ramsey scores a goal, a celebrity dies. Now, readers, if we get really, really lucky Rambo’s FA Cup winner might see off both Piers Morgan and Katie Hopkins because FA Cup winning goals must count double, right? The 2017 FA Cup Final was one of the better ones in recent years. Cast completely as a David vs Goliath battle between the giant might of Chelsea, Premier League Champions, and little old Arsenal, the plucky little underdogs with a clueless manager, an aged central defender that had only managed 37 minutes of football all season and had narrowly avoided relegation this season, finishing 5th. Arsene lamented the lack of respect shown to his team and the fact that everyone had written them off before the game had started. Arsene, even you must have understood why. We have all seen jelly with a stronger backbone than your boys. But, credit where credit is due the Gunners managed to turn in a completely non-Arsenal like performance and shock the footballing world denying Chelsea the double. Sure, Sanchez’s goal was so handball it would not have looked out of place if the Harlem Globetrotters were the pre-match entertainment but that does not matter. Arsenal deserved their win, and Arsene will no doubt be rewarded with at least a five-year-deal. The best moments of the match, for me, were Rob Holding clearly calling Diego Costa what 99% of us think he is and the fact that a German World Cup
winning defender was able to put in a man-of-the-match performance at the back. The way the “pundits” were talking about Per you could only assume Wenger had pulled this guy out of the pub before the game, thrown him a shirt and said “just try not to do anything stupid”. As for Victor Moses? Well, as Jamie Redknapp would have probably said if Sky were covering the match, “nobody wants to see young English talent doing that”. All in all, a great day for Arsenal meaning that they now qualify for the Champions League. Oh, wait. No, my mistake - it’s still Thursday night football for them, even if they did run around as if they had been told they could sneak into the real party next season. And what a week in football it was before the FA Cup Final! Young, fearless and daring soon became young and inexperienced in the Europa League final, didn’t it? Let’s be honest, there was no chance that Jose was going to allow himself to be beaten by a bunch of kids, no matter how talented they were. And the end result was a match where Maroune Fellaini strolled around looking like the adult kicking about with the under 10’s side. The match itself had minimal talking points, which is a shame considering I have a column to fill. Pogba went someway to repaying his transfer fee by scoring the goal that pretty much guaranteed United would be playing Champions League football next season. Sure, they’ve taken the long way round but with two trophies (which, by sheer association, means two finals for the real fans to go and watch) that is a much more fun way of doing it than sneaking into 4th place. Well, in my humble opinion
anyway. The coverage of the match was a little more curious, with Michael Owen and Rio Ferdinand appearing to be watching two entirely different matches. Mind you, I don’t think Owen has been on the same wavelength as anyone at all since he lost his pace. The best bit of the day for me was the referee’s boots. Black Copa Mundials. That’s the way to officiate a final, you get instant respect from anyone over the age of 30. Post match, it was a little bit like a PR exercise to make the world believe that all this was part of a cunning Manchester United plan. Of course! The only reason they chose to play Europa League football this season was so that they could win the one remaining trophy in world football that was missing from the cabinet. It makes perfect sense now…. Big Sam decided that life could not get much better than guiding Crystal Palace to safety and, for once, felt it would be best to quit whilst he was ahead. The news was quite a shock in fairness, having watched the Sky Sports interview at the weekend where Sam furiously chewed away telling the reporter how next season would be very exciting if they recruited well again. He’s not the first manager to walk away in a sulk after not being allowed to get the players he wanted. I can only assume that the board didn’t want to sign Kevin Nolan or Andy Carroll. Still, cracking work by Palace to distract the Eagles fans by announcing Zaha signing a new 5-year-deal a matter of days later. Big Sam who? The board will no doubt dream of getting a Roberto Mancini but, more realistically, will end up with a Garry Monk. Which may not be a bad thing at all.
Sporting Alfas Cricket Club EUROGOLF
Club Sporting Alfas 1st X1 297 for 4 beat Levante C C 173 for 10 Levante travelled down from Valencia for this Sundays match against SACC. The home side won the toss and choose to bat first, Laundon and the returning to duty Pennick opened and the score ticked along nicely until the 15 over when Laundon (31) over stretched and lobbed the ball to gully 79-1 at drinks. Pennick choose to leave the action and Alger and Bhatti took the score to 247 in the next 15 overs, Algar leaving the action on 59, Muñoz joined Bhatti who was on 44 and nicked one behind to become star man Eaton´s second scalp. J, Perman joined Muñoz and enjoyed a quick show of power hitting Muñoz reaching 46, before Jack decided to run the Spanish and league captain out, then to prove his youth got caught next ball, another wicket for Eaton. Bringing two new players to the middle and the pairing of Waqar and M Perman both reaching 20 odd before the close of inning on 297-4 of which Barry Eaton claimed 3 wickets, well done. Levante began the chase with Little and Garvey, the score reached 18 when gave a sharp chance to Alger at gully and was out for 10. Fareed joined the fun and with his unusual style and for 5 overs annoyed the bowlers and in all fairness was a little annoyed himself when 1st change bowler Metcalf only found the mat once in his 7 ball spell having to be expelled by the umpire for dangerous bowling, he could well have killed fine leg. Bhatti not on duty keeping was asked to finish the over and was given another after 5 sharp balls. Fareed not being able to take the pace gave a chance and became Bhatti´s first wicket for SACC. At drinks
Levante on 61 for 2. Garvey and Eaton took the score past the 100 mark which arrived in the 23 over sadly 10 runs later Eaton lobbed one to star fielder on the day Metcalf who took the first of his 5 catches. Bhat hit a couple of lusty blows which really was the only other note worthy part of the batting innings, other than Garvey reaching his 50, with a very elegant style which will stand him well in the league campaign. Muñoz rushed through his 7 overs and was rewarded with 3 for 19, Walker finished his 8 for 36 getting 2 wickets, Alger 1 for 28 from 6, Perman J unlucky not to get a wicket finished with 0-38-from 8. Ashraf 0-14 from 5 bringing us to star bowler Bhatti , returning excellent figures of 4.1 overs 12 runs for 4 wickets, not bad for a keeper, bowlers beware. Levante Cricket Club return next Sunday to play in the league. Another great and exiting day at the Oval with 480 runs and 14 wickets taken it really is no surprise that Albir is the place to watch good cricket regularly in Spain.

La Marina Golf Society Founders Trophy With beautiful weather on our first visit of the year to the difficult Roda course. The Founders Trophy was presented to the society by previous member Barry Martin to celebrate the 10th anniversary. Unfortunately Barry returned to the UK and was unable to be there for the presentation. Scores in general were reduced from the previous meeting Altorreal, although Gerry McCabe, despite a two shot handicap cut, managed to win the silver award with a very creditable 36 points. However, winner of the Founders Trophy and the gold award with a brilliant 38 points was Barry Thorogood. I was in his group and saw how well he played the course. Nearest the pins went to Vic Smith, Iain Lyall, Barry Thorogood and
Mike Green. The 2's pot was shared by John Thompson and Mike Green. Our next meeting is at Las Colinas on 8th June, first tee 10.00 at a cost of 60 euros.

Ruby’s Golf Society Promotions Update The Ivie Davies memorial day turned out to be a fantastic day for all of the 24 players that went off to Fonte Del Llope, but it was the ladies that dominated the golf this day, Ivie would have liked that. The weather played its part and the course which was in great condition played well. The results were as follows; Nearest the pin on the par 3's were greedy Mike Thomas (3) Rob Vaughan and Dave Shelton. Nearest the pin in 2 was Steve Wild, best front nine Rob Litton, best back nine Steve Wild. In third place was Rob Vaughan with 33 points, in second place Glynis Thomas with 35 points and in first place was Michelle Evans with 41 points, I think there may be a handicap cut coming her way. We returned to Rayz bar on El Raso where our hosts provided a fine meal for all the
players and their wives, this was followed by a large raffle for generous prizes provided by various golf courses and businesses on and around El Raso, we thank them all for their generous support for this event. An auction followed for a couple of other prizes, and with the generosity of all the people that bought raffle tickets and had a bid in the auction the total raised for Cancer Research was 1,000 euros. Many thanks also to Robert Scott and Tony Harrison who provided the trophy's for this event. All in all a great day with great support and the overall winner being Cancer Research.

Rockets Golf Society For our May away day we went south to the Jack Nicholas course at Hacienda Requelme where we played a Medal for the Organisers Trophy. Course in lovely condition, Greens very fast, but our members could not keep out of the bunkers, which made for a lot of high scores. The Gold Category did better than the Silver Category with last years winner Malcolm Anderson coming in with a nett 78 to defend the Trophy. Andy Nicholls was close behind in second place with a nett 79 and in Third place was Shay Martin with a Nett 81.

Alzira had lost 2-1 in Ibiza to SCR Deportiva after leading one nil, but knew a single goal victory in the home leg would see them through to the semi finals. The Ibizan squad boasted two former Torry players, Ramiro and Piquero, the latter who has notched sixteen goals for the islanders this term. It was a tense affair with neither side managing to find the net and so Alzira bowed out of the race for 2B. Not so Castellon, who had looked up against it following a scoreless draw at home to Poblense. The return leg in Majorca had plenty of excitement with Poblense's Juame putting through his own net to give the group six side a distinct advantage in the 38th Minute. Top marksman Forner made it 2-0 in the 61st minute, meaning that Poblense would need three goals to progress. It was just as well, as they managed to get two! The first in the 63rd minute and their second deep into stoppage time, the game ending 2-2 and Castellon progressing to the semi final stage by virtue of the away goal rule. That meant that two sides who had finished runners up in their respective groups had been eliminated by teams who had finished in 4th place. The two sides who had finished third in their respective groups battled out a tense affair with group five unit Terrassa Olimlica 2010 unable to break down a well marshalled Ontinyent rearguard. The first leg finished 1-1, so a single goal would clinch the semi final spot.Abengozar had the opportunity to do so from the penalty spot just after the
El Plantio Golf Alfie’s Golf Society On Tuesday 23rd May, 14 members and a guest competed in a tricky individual competition involving the use of 2 clubs and a putter - each player choosing the clubs to be used before play commenced. The winner turned out to be the solo guest, Jason Mainwaring, who had a very creditable return of 37 Stableford points and will be rewarded for his efforts with a handicap cut. Competing in his first club competition since returning to Spain for the summer from Dubai – ‘to get out of the heat’ - was John Wilby, who very nearly scooped the prizes with 2 nearest the pins and 3rd place. Pride of place, however, must go to Bryan Watson, who recorded a Hole-in-One on Hole 8 - the 2nd time he has performed the feat on this hole. Nearest the Pin, Holes 2 & 5 - John Wilby. 3rd Place, Handicap 3 - John Wilby, 33 points. 2nd Place, Handicap 7 - Ian Henderson, 34 points. 1st Place, Handicap 14 - Jason Mainwaring, 37 points. The picture shows from left to right John Wilby - Jason Mainwaring - Ian Henderson - Bryan Watson. If anyone would like to join our Society, we play at El Plantio Golf Club on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. We use both courses - the Par 3 nine hole course and the main 18 hole course, so we cater for all abilities. The membership rates are very competitive, so call for more details.

25 members and guests from Alfie's GS travelled to the Saurines De La Torre GC for the annual Geoff Thompson Perpetual Trophy meeting on May 25th. The weather was perfect with a slight breeze to keep you on your toes. The course was in very good condition, the greens were not as true due to recent sanding and were a bit slow. Players were punished heavily for missing fairways and finding the hard pan areas due to the ball rolling up against the lip of the hard pan areas. It makes it a bit unfair because the next shot is unplayable and it’s very easy to lose plenty of shots as the hard pan areas are everywhere throughout the course. Our winner of the day was Pavla Serakova playing off a handicap of 11 with 42 stableford points Second went to Luke Branch with 40 stableford points. Best Guest went to Silla Ludviksdottir with 26 stableford points Nearest the pin in 3 on the 13th– Sponsored by ‘The Street Restaurant’ went to Pavla Serakova Nearest the pin on the 10th– sponsored by ‘The Auld Dubliner‘ wasn’t
won so will carry over to Captain’s Day. Nearest the pin on the 18th- sponsored by ‘Alfie’s Bar’ went to Kevin McBride Nearest the Pin in 2 shots on the 7th sponsored by ’The Celtic Drop’ went to Ian Connell The Blind pairs was won by George Petty and Ove Collin. Many thanks to our sponsors, our committee for their hard work in the background, and to Mike Probert from Costa Blanca Green Fee Services for arranging our day. To Mike Morris and staff at Alfies Bar for their hospitality and the lovely food. Big Thank you to Sandie Hall for organising the charity raffle and prizes. Our next meeting of the year is the Sponsor’s Trophy at Lo Romero on the 29th June, guests are more than welcome. First tee time at 9:20am.

hour mark and made no mistake as his conversion took Ontinyent one step closer to their objective. Olimpic had a late evening Sunday kick off against Group 18 champions Talavera. They held a slender one goal advantage from the home leg and tensions were high as the winners went straight into 2B, with the losers having to fight through two semi final matches and should they win, then another two legged final. They conceded two first half goals to find themselves 2-1 down on aggregate by the interval, but had time to compose themselves, realising that a single goal for them would be enough to send them through on the away goal rule. As it happened, Talavera added a third just nine minutes into the second period and although Olimpic did respond with a Juanme strike on 63 minutes, it was insufficient and they lost 3-2 overall. The Preferente play offs got underway with group four winners Villajoyosa securing a 1-1 draw away at Vilamarxant and collecting what might be that all important away goal, as a 0-0 at home this weekend would see them progress to the final. Thader suffered the same result, but as they were at home, that means the advantage crosses to group 2 winners Paiporta in the second leg, who only need to keep a clean sheet to progress. La Nucia were away at Alcudia and this match ended all sqaure at 0-0. Draws also dominated in Acero (2-2) and Benigamin versus Onda (1-1) Ribarroja were at home in their first leg in the only game to have a winner, beating Roda 1-0 Jeff Scott
Member’s Golf Society Eventually 29 members and guests made what should have been a 1 hour journey, for a few it proved to be more of a contest to find the course than to play it! Several members arrived late indicating that it took them 2 hours to find it. Mick Kennedy and his ever present golfing partner John Hettrick apparently missed several turns and eventually found themselves in CARTAGENA! They decided to recompose themselves over a spot of breakfast before eventually making their way to the course. With the first battle completed, the 2nd was about to begin and proved just as much of a challenge if not more. The N.T.P. winning photo is a little light as only one player managed to hit any of the greens, well they are all 180m or more and with the ever present wind of approximately 25 km per hour it was not surprising. The other added obstacle was the greens, having been hollow tinned just a few weeks ago they still hadn’t fully recovered although there were quite fast. Results; N.T.P. Competition, hole 8 J. Eyre. Best guest was Mr. Landsvik with 33 points. Bronze category, 3rd J. Hillier 25 pts. 2nd P. Sabine 26 pts. 1st P. O’Dowd 28 pts. Silver category; 3rd M. Kennedy 32 pts. H/H 2nd D.

San Miguel Golf Society Possibly the hottest Wednesday meet so far found a course very much returning to its once excellent condition, indicative of the investment made by the relatively recent new owners. Greens were a little slow but consistent and fairways actually had grass on them, unlike some of the shorn courses played lately. Scoring was, as it often is here, significantly different amongst categories, with lower handicappers fairing much better than those are higher. Gold category that the real fight for the Linda Rennie trophy took place. but it was Noel Bannon, just pipping Paul Guest on count back with a likewise superb 40 points, who came in the winner. The day’s stableford competition results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 4th Kyree Skarsmoen (30), 3rd Norman McBride (31 on CB), 2nd Mike Inns (31 on CB), and 1st, way out ahead, Mick Roscoe with 36 points. Silver Category: 4th Hugh Reilly (34 on CB), 3rd Mike Jordan (34 on CB), 2nd Eva Petterson (35) and 1st Ivan Hanak with 36 points.
Gold Category: 4th Keven Mitchell (37), 3rd Jamie Rorison (38), 2nd Paul Guest (40 on CB) and 1st Noel Bannon, also with 40. The Abacus was won by Ralph Tilbrook. Nearest the pins on the par 3’s (open to all) went to John Osborne (5), Barry Roehrig (8) and Gary Garbett (17). Nobody made the green on hole 10. The best guest prize went to Steve Chitham with an excellent 40 points.

BARCELONA TAKES THE CUP – AGAIN To nobody’s surprise, Barcelona beat a plucky Alavés, who had earlier equalized through Theo Hernández (already signed by Real Madrid) by three goals to one to take the Copa del Rey. Meanwhile Arsenal won the FA Cup, beating League Champions Chelsea 2-1, Borussia Dortmund won the German version, and PSG the French. In Italy, the most notable moment was the final game of legendary striker Francesco Totti, who hung up his
boots at 40 after a distinguished career for Roma. The second division still continues. Whilst Levante have already secured the title – and promotion – Girona still need a point from their last two matches to go up with them, as they lost 1-3 to struggling Gimnástic. Mirandés are already relegated, and Elche look doomed to accompany them, after they could only draw at home to Reus. They
will need to achieve something from their remaining two, rather tough, fixtures if they are to avoid the drop. Already promoted from division 2B after the initial round of fixtures are La Hoya Lorca and Cultural Leonesa, who beat Albacete and Barcelona B respectively. Those last two will go into the next phase, the ‘bunfight’ with the six other clubs that won their first round games. Malcolm Palmer

Your week in Sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
This is for the five of you that noticed there was no YWIS last week as, frankly, there was nothing worth pointing the finger of fun at for an entire seven days worth of sporting fare. And by now surely, you must know I am not here to waste your time by filling this column with a load of rubbish. You know that, right? Well, to make up for last week’s no-show grab a coffee, or a beer if the sun is shining and it has just passed 10am and let’s crack on.
game, you may as well start the car, as Bumble would say. But Mark Wood bowled a marvellous last over to secure another victory for England who are showing the kind of form that will make the fall from grace in the next fortnight all the more frustrating.
Rugby. Loads of it. Exeter won what is being called “the most gripping Premiership Final of all time”. It went to extra-time! I didn’t even know they did that in rugby, so it was gripping and educating all at the same time. You don’t get that in football. England’s rugby team followed that up by watching the Babas fling the ball around a lot, win it back, then score more points than them. Simple really, when you know how.
Tennis! Yes, tennis in France! Andy Murray, despite being the World Number One in number only, is a massive underdog heading into the French Open at Roland Garros. That will have something to do with the fact he hasn’t won a match (maybe) since having the sword upon his shoulder and the weight of a knighthood added to his kit bag. Djokovic is equally rubbish and, having sacked his coaching team, has brought in Andre Agassi to stop the rot. Mind you, being a rubbish world number one isn’t restricted just to the men’s game as Angelique Kerber crashed out on day one in the women’s tournament. Johanna Konta is the best hope for GB in the women’s draw but, let’s be honest, if her and Sir Andrew are both still in the draw come June it will be a miracle.
Cricket! Loads of that too. The England ODI team are in danger of peaking too soon with the ICC Champions Trophy starting on Thursday. They won the opening two matches of the mini-series with South Africa. The first win was comfortable and then the second one unbelievable as the South African’s needed a mere 10 runs from 10 balls which, in the modern
Lewis Hamilton has almost as bad a weekend as the Chelsea fans expecting just to turn up to Wembley and see a double being celebrated. Vettel won the Monaco Grand Prix meaning Ferrari are still top dog. I can imagine Lewis was delighted when none of his engineers could explain why he could only drive fast enough to start the race in 13th place.
Errol Spence Jr may well have retired Kell Brook from boxing, fracturing his eye socket in Saturday night’s big fight in Sheffield. Eddie Hearn has already said that there’ll be no more ring action in the welterweight division for Brook, and considering this is the second time his eye socket has fractured it could well be the end of his fighting career. Of course, having been told that he could well go blind if he fights again there is probably a price tag that would make it worth the risk, right? Tom Dumoulin won the 100th Giro de Italia, news that made me realise one thing. When it comes to cycling I am only really interested in all the controversy surrounding Team Sky. All these riders winning something with zero suspicion is quite dull.

We started off the Summer Series with the 1st round fished at the Embalsa de Pedrera on the 23rd May. After the previous week’s weights, good bags were expected, but the water was dead calm first thing and the wind did not arrive until late afternoon, which resulted in the weights being low.
