THE RESIDENT Agosto - August 2016

Editorial Bueno, aquí estamos otra vez. Es agosto en la Costa de Sol y este año está registrando cifras récord de visitantes. Con toda la incertidumbre y riesgos que afectan a otros populares destinos vacacionales, muchos turistas han elegido la Costa del Sol como opción “segura”, lo que junto a las vacaciones de los españoles está haciendo que la ocupación hotelera sea de más del 90%, y eso sin contar con los alquileres turísticos.

El lado negativo de esto es la presión sobre la infraestructura local, ya sea aparcamiento, largas colas en el supermercado, congestión del tráfico, etc., pero no olvidemos que cuando no puedes conseguir mesa en tu restaurante favorito o has dado vueltas durante una hora buscando aparcamiento, que esos visitantes son cruciales para nuestra economía y empleo, y que en septiembre la mayoría volverá a casa. Así que, démosles la bienvenida con los brazos abiertos y hagamos que su estancia sea lo más feliz y memorable posible, para que vuelvan el año que viene.

Este aumento de visitantes, con poblaciones que se triplican e incluso se cuadruplican en algunas zonas, también afecta negativamente al Sistema de Salud de la Costa del Sol, ya de por sí en no muy buena forma, por culpa de la falta de fondos y carencia de la Junta de Andalucía que incumple las promesas realizadas de crear nuevas infraestructuras hospitalarias. Puedes leer más sobre este tema en esta edición de The Resident.

Cambiando de tema, este mes está lleno de eventos interesantes y divertidos, con las ferias de Manilva y San Roque junto con otros muchos eventos que podrás encontrar en The Resident este mes o en www.theresident.eu.

Con esto, no me queda más que desearos un feliz agosto. No olvides respetar el calor: mantente hidratado, cubre tu cabeza, usa gafas de sol y crema solar. Nos vemos en septiembre.

Gary Beaumont, Editor.

Well here we are again, August on the Costa del Sol and this year with it comes record numbers of visitors. With all the uncertainty and risks affecting many of the traditional holiday destinations, many holidaymakers have chose the ‘safe’ option of Spain’s coastal resorts, that coupled with the traditional Spanish vacation time many areas are publishing hotel occupancy rates of more than 90%, and that’s without holiday rentals, etc.

The downside of this is the pressure on local infrastructure, be it parking, long queues at the supermarket, traffic congestion, but let’s not forget that when you can’t get your favourite table at your local bar or restaurant, or you’ve driven around town three times looking for a parking space, that these visitors are vital to the local economy and employment, and that come September most of them will return home so please welcome them with open arms and make their stay as happy and memorable as possible so that they will return again next year.

This surge in numbers, with populations in some areas tripling, even quadrupling in the summer, also puts a strain on the Costa del Sol’s health system, which is already under pressure due to underfunding and failure by the Junta de Andalucia to carry out essential infrastructure projects that have been promised for years, more details of which you can read in this issue.

On a lighter note there is a lot going on this month to keep us entertained, with ferias in Manilva and San Roque along with a host of other events many of which are listed in The Resident this month or posted on www.theresident.eu Well that just leaves me to wish you a great August and don’t forget to respect the heat - keep hydrated, cover your head, wear sunglasses, and use plenty of sunscreen - and I’ll talk to you again in September.

1 Staying the course

Every market cycle has both up days and down days. Often, a few very good days account for a large part of the total return. Staying the course ensures that investments will be “in” the market on the good days. Some people try to time market movements by selling stocks when they think the market is about to decline and by buying stocks when they think the market is about to rise.

Resist being a market timer. By trying to time the market, you potentially miss out on market rallies that could substantially improve your overall return and long-term wealth. Thus, what’s most important is not timing the market, but rather time IN the market. Staying the course when confronting difficult markets may prove very rewarding in the long run.

Consistently predicting which days will move in which direction, though, is virtually impossible and can be very costly.

2 Diversifying your portfolio

Diversification may reduce the overall volatility of your entire portfolio, thereby helping you achieve greater long-term returns. It is important to remember, however, that diversification does not protect against loss in broadly declining markets.

Like markets in general, different investment styles come in and out of favour in Cycles Rather than trying to predict which investment is likely to be the best performer in the future, investing in a welldiversified portfolio can help you to seek returns while managing for volatility. Diversification strategies may be especially important in a volatile market environment, when sector rotations and market fluctuations happen continuously.

Investing across multiple styles enhances the potential for being invested partially in the best-performing style and reduces the impact of being solely invested in the worst.

Piscinas naturales en los Baños de la Hedionda

El proyecto supondría la creación de unas piscinas naturales en el cauce que evacua las aguas de los Baños de la Hedionda al rio.

Los trabajos, que tienen un coste que ronda los 9.000 euros, consistirían en la construcción de dos muros con materiales y piedras de la zona, junto a una ligera inclinación del lecho, creando así nuevas zonas de baño exteriores.

Una construcción con la que no quedaría interrumpido el actual flujo de agua, por lo que ha sido autorizada por la Consejería de Medio Ambiente, que ha enviado

esta semana el informe favorable al Ayuntamiento de Casares.

Se trata de la segunda actuación que realizaría el Ayuntamiento de Casares este año para la puesta en valor de estos Baños de aguas sulfurosas, tras el proyecto de consolidación de la estructura y cambio del pavimento realizado esta primavera, explica la Concejala de Cultura Rocío Ruíz.

La intención municipal es que las obras estén finalizadas durante el mes de agosto, para que puedan ser utilizadas por los bañistas esta temporada estival.

Natural swimming pool for the Roman Baths Casares have drawn up a project to create natural pools in the river bed at the outflow of the Baños de la Hedionda Roman Baths.

The works, which have a budget of around 9,000 euros, consist of the construction of two walls with materials and local stone, with a slight inclination of the bed, creating new areas outside bathing structure.

The construction, which will not interrupt the current flow of water, has been authorized by the Ministry

of Environment, which has decided in favour of the Casares Town Hall report.

This is the second action to be undertaken by the council this year for the improvement of these natural sulphur baths, following the project for the improvements to the current structure.

The council’s intention is that the works are completed during the month of August, so they can be used by bathers this summer.

La zona del Castillo de Casares se reaviva con actividades culturales en agosto La Concejalía de Cultura está cerrando un programa de actividades que se realizarán durante el mes de agosto en el Recinto del Castillo de Casares, una iniciativa que tiene como objeto reanimar esta zona del casco histórico .

Ya se está trabajando en la puesta en escena del Pasaje del Terror que se llevará a cabo en esta zona el 20 de agosto.

Asimismo, se ha programado el estreno de la nueva obra de teatro del grupo de adulto de la Escuela Municipal, “Los Intereses Creados” del premio nobel Jacinto Benavente. Será el 26 de agosto en el escenario al aire libre de la Plana.

Este anfiteatro natural acogerá también una nueva edición de “Cine bajo la Luna” que tendrá lugar los lunes 22 y 29 de agosto.

The Castle area in Casares comes back to life with cultural activities in August The Department of Culture is finalising a programme of activities to be held during the month of August in the grounds of the Casares Castle, an initiative that aims to revive this historic area.

Work is already underway towards

staging the Passage of Terror that will take place in this area on August 20.

The premiere of the new play by the Municipal School’s adult group, "Vested interests", of the Jacinto Benavente Nobel Prize will also

take place on August 26 at the La Plana outdoor stage.

This open air amphitheater will then host a new edition of the "Cinema under the moon" on August 22 and 29.

Casares continua a la espera de que la Junta de Andalucía autorice reparaciones de urgencia en la Torre de la Sal Al encontrarse en zona de servidumbre marítimo terrestre, la Torre de la Sal pertenece a Ministerio de Hacienda del Estado y Demarcación de Costas de Andalucía Oriental es responsable de la gestión de esta edificación. Aunque al tratarse de Bien Patrimonial, cualquier actuación debe ser autorizada por la Consejería de Cultura de la Junta de Andalucía.

Tras conocerse los actos vandálicos producidos el pasado mes , el Ayuntamiento de Casares

informó por escrito a ambos organismo. Y pidió a la Consejería de Cultura autorización para realizar una actuación de urgencia, consistente en la instalación de un cierre metálico con fijaciones de seguridad en la pared interior.

Unos trabajos provisionales que no afectaría a la edificación y que servirían para impedir que se produjeran mayores daños al resto del monumento. Y para cuya ejecución es imprescindible que sea autorizado por la

Consejería de Cultura de la Junta de Andalucía, que tiene las competencias en materia de patrimonio cultural.

Por otro lado, ya se ha desplazado hasta la zona un Guarda de Costa para elaborar el informe de lo ocurrido, por lo que el Ayuntamiento también está a la espera de que Demarcación de Costa le notifique como se van a reparar los daños sufridos en el muro posterior, donde ha sido arrancado un quicio.

Casares continues to wait for the Junta de Andalucia to carry urgent repair works to the Salt Tower Being on the coastal strip the Torre de la Sal is the responsibility Andalucian Coastal Authority which is responsible for its management and upkeep, although as it is

a heritage site any works must be authorised by the Junta de Andalucia’s Ministry of Culture.

Following last month’s vandalism the local authorities in Casares

reported the incident to both bodies, requesting permission to carry out urgent actions to both secure and repair the building.

Petición a la Junta por parte de los residentes locales por la carencia de cobertura médica de emergencia Recientes eventos han sacado a la luz, de nuevo, la falta de instalaciones de urgencias 24 horas en Manilva, lo que ha llevado a los residentes locales a formar un grupo de protesta que está recogiendo firmas para la petición que presentarán ante el Gobierno Regional en un intento de forzarles a cumplir sus compromisos.

A pesar de las promesas de la Consejería de Salud de la Junta de Andalucía, Manilva depende de las instalaciones de las poblaciones vecinas en cuanto a tratamiento médico de emergencia 24 horas.

El Centro de Salud de Sabinillas, que abrió en 2008, fue construido usando fondos locales, mientras la Junta cubría los costes operativos, uno de los cuales era una sala de urgencias 24 horas que nunca ha estado operativa desde el día de apertura del centro.

La mayor parte de los costes operativos, de personal y mantenimiento, sino todos, son abonados por el Ayuntamiento, cuando deberían ser cubiertos por la Junta.

El consistorio local ha presionado repetidamente a la Junta sobre este asunto, y en 2011 otro incidente levantó protestas de los vecinos y la presentación de una petición firmada por miles de residentes enfadados.

La protesta también hace hincapié en la falta de cobertura de ambulancias, que tienen que venir desde Estepona, ya que la ambulancia local, financiada por el Ayuntamiento, no está operativa.

Todo esto en una población con 15.000

¿Cómo puedes ayudar? Puedes encontrar los formularios de la petición en numerosos puntos de la localidad, incluyendo: So how can you help? There are petition forms at a number of locations including:

residentes, cifra que se triplica en verano, lo cual supone un riesgo para las personas debido a los retrasos a la hora de recibir asistencia médica de urgencia en caso de accidente o enfermedad repentina.

Según María Victoria Sequeiro, que fundó el grupo de acción “En el paraíso sin ambulancia”, el objetivo es recoger tantas firmas como sea posible y luego desplazarse a Sevilla y realizar una protesta frente al Parlamento Regional, entregando la petición al director del servicio de salud.

Cuando se le pidió que hablara sobre el tema, el Concejal de Residentes Extranjeros de Manilva, Dean Shelton, declaró que en su opinión es necesario hacer esto, “es hora de que la gente de

Manilva de todas las nacionalidades y opiniones políticas se levanten y den su apoyo a esta plataforma, firmando la petición o ayudando de cualquier forma que sea necesaria, y así conseguir ejercer la presión necesaria y avergonzar políticamente al gobierno regional para que cumpla sus promesas y compromisos con nuestro pueblo y sus gentes”.

Este es otro asunto que ha causado frustración a causa de las políticas en salud de la Junta de Andalucía. Otro es la negación repetida de la promesa de construir un hospital en Estepona, a pesar de que los municipios de la zona se comprometen a financiar los costes de construcción y de que el acuerdo se firmó la década pasada.

Local residents petition the Junta over shortcomings in emergency medical cover Recent events have once again shone the spotlight on the lack of 24-hour emergency health facilities in Manilva leading to local residents, forming a protest group which is currently gathering signatures on a petition which it plans to present to the Regional Government in an attempt to force them to fulfill their commitments.

Despite repeated promises by the Junta de Andalucia’s Department of Health, Manilva relies on facilities in neighbouring municipalities for round the clock emergency medical provision.

The Health Centre in Sabinillas, which was opened in 2008, was built using local funds with the Junta paying for its operational costs, one of which was a 24 hour emergency room which has never been operational since the day the centre opened.

The majority, if not the entire burden of running costs and employment of staff and maintenance at the Sabinillas health centre is paid for by the local Town Hall when it should be paid by the Junta.

The local council has repeatedly pressured the Junta on this matter and back in 2011 another incident led to protests and

Manilva

the presentation of a petition signed by thousands of angry residents.

The protest also highlights the lack of ambulance cover, which have to come from Estepona since the local ambulance, funded by the council, has been off the road.

All this, in a municipality with a population of 15 thousand residents which triples during the summer tourist season, leaves people at risk due to delays in receiving emergency medical aid in the event of an accident or sudden illness.

According to María Victoria Sequeiro, who founded the action group ‘En el paraíso sin ambulancia’ (In Paradise without an Ambulance), the aim is to gather as many signatures as possible and then to travel up to Seville and hold a protest outside the Regional Parliament whilst delivering the petition to the head of the health service.

When asked to comment on the subject, Manilva’s councillor for Foreign Residents, Dean Shelton, stated that in his opinion this needed to be done, “it was time now for the people of Manilva of all nationalities and political persuasions to stand up and support this platform by way of signing the

petition or whatever else may be needed, and that in conjunction with the council the platform should push and if necessary publicly embarrass the regional government into keeping its promises and commitments to our town and its people”.

This is just another issue that has led to frustration with the Junta de Andalucia’s health policy, another being the repeated reneging on promises to construct a hospital in Estepona, despite local municipalities pledging to fund most of the building costs and the deal being already signed last decade.

La Policía Local pone a disposición de la fiscalía a un grupo de jóvenes La seguridad ciudadana es uno de los asuntos que también son prioritarios para el Equipo de Gobierno. La coordinación entre Guardia Civil y Policía Local es fundamental y para ello, el Ayuntamiento de Manilva tiene periódicas reuniones de trabajo con los citados cuerpos para conocer de primera mano todo lo que acontece en el municipio.

Y prueba de la eficacia y el buen trabajo desarrollado por los agentes locales es la detención de un grupo de menores de entre 11 y 15 años que se estaban

dedicando a realizar actos vandálicos y robos en chiringuitos, garajes de comunidades y bicicletas.

Esta oleada de robos tuvo como consecuencia la labor de investigación en cámaras de seguridad de la Policía Local y la posterior detención de estos jóvenes.

En estos casos donde los delitos son cometidos por menores de edad, la Policía notificó de lo sucedido a sus padres o tutores para posteriormente comenzar las diligencias en las autoridades competentes y la Fiscalía.

years, who have been responsible for a crime wave of thefts and vandalism, particularly robberies in chiringuitos, community garages and bike theft.

El Pleno aprueba la inversión municipal de 17,7 millones para comenzar la obra del centro hospitalario El Pleno de la Corporación ha aprobado hoy por unanimidad una propuesta del equipo de gobierno para dotar económicamente el proyecto de construcción del Centro Hospitalario de Alta Resolución de Estepona con un importe de más de 17,7 millones de euros, y facilitar, por tanto, a la Junta de Andalucía la puesta en funcionamiento de una infraestructura capital para las necesidades municipales.

Esta medida forma parte de los acuerdos que ambas administraciones están llevando a cabo en este asunto.

En este sentido, hay que recordar que el Consistorio y la Administración andaluza trabajan desde el pasado abril en un acuerdo de colaboración por el que el Ayuntamiento asume el coste de ejecución de la construcción del centro hospitalario con el compromiso de que la Junta de Andalucía lo equipe y lo ponga en funcionamiento.

El alcalde de Estepona, José María García Urbano, ha explicado que este centro hospitalario “es más que necesario” para la localidad. Al respecto, hay que recordar que Consistorio ha venido contemplando en sus presupuestos de los ejercicios 2015 y 2016 previsiones iniciales para esta infraestructura como muestra del compromiso de estar dispuesto a asumir ya este gasto, pese a ser una inversión que debería realizar la Administración andaluza, en el convencimiento de que se trata

de una obra prioritaria para la ciudad, que debería estar en funcionamiento desde 2009, según las previsiones iniciales.

El acuerdo adoptado en Pleno establece una inversión plurianual, a razón de un millón de euros presupuestado ya en el ejercicio 2016, seis millones en el ejercicio 2017, otros seis millones en 2018 y 4,7 millones de euros en 2019. En este sentido, el Ayuntamiento considera conveniente dedicar el esfuerzo inversor a la construcción de este centro hospitalario, con cargo a los presupuestos municipales, sin perjuicio de la obtención de los recursos económicos citados como consecuencia de acuerdos económicos con la Diputación de Málaga, Mancomunidad de Municipios de la Costa del Sol Occidental y ayuntamientos limítrofes, que podrían participar en la financiación de esta obra,

dado el carácter comarcal de esta infraestructura sanitaria.

Esta planificación de inversión queda sometida a la firma del acuerdo de colaboración entre el Ayuntamiento de Estepona y el Servicio Andaluz de Salud de la Junta de Andalucía antes del día 30 de septiembre de este año, quedando este acuerdo sin efecto si no se produce la formalización de este convenio entre las partes.

Para el equipo de gobierno ha sido una prioridad, desde el primer día, contar con un centro hospitalario y para ello, se ha trabajado solucionando el bloqueo que existió desde 2009 a 2011 por la presencia de restos arqueológicos en la parcela donde se proyecta esta infraestructura y aportando propuestas a la Junta de Andalucía para que el centro hospitalario sea una realidad cuanto antes.

Estepona Council unanimously approves an investment of 17.7 million euros for the construction of the hospital A recent meeting of Estepona’s Town Council unanimously approved a proposal to allocate the funding for the construction of a Hospital in Estepona. This is part of a partnership agreement which would see local municipalities fund the construction of the hospital whilst the Junta de Andalucia would commit to meeting operational costs. To this end Estepona Town Hall have budgeted over 17.7 million euros over four years, despite this being the responsibility of the regional government, the

Mayor of Estepona, José María García Urbano, stating that “this is more than vital for the town” and is already some seven years overdue.

The resolution adopted in the council meeting establishes a multi-year investment at the rate of one million euros budgeted in 2016 and six million in 2017, another six million in 2018 and 4.7 million in 2019. In this regard, the city Council considers appropriate to devote the investment to build this hospital, out of municipal

budgets, subject to obtaining economic resources cited as a result of economic agreements with the Government of Malaga, Association of Municipalities of the Western Costa del Sol and neighboring municipalities, which could participate in the financing of this work, given the local importance of this health infrastructure.

The investment plan is subject to the signing of an agreement between the Estepona Town Hall and the Andalucian Health Service before September 30.

El Ayuntamiento solicita una subvención para acondicionar la histórica Casa de Las Tejerinas como espacio expositivo El Ayuntamiento de Estepona informa de que ha solicitado una subvención a la Diputación Provincial de Málaga para acondicionar la histórica casa de ‘Las Tejerinas’ como espacio expositivo. Aunque este inmueble del siglo XVIII es utilizado como equipamiento cultural desde 2011, el Consistorio considera que necesita una serie de obras y mejoras que aumenten sus posibilidades como centro de exposiciones.

Entre las actuaciones que se podrían acometer con la subvención, destaca la instalación de un ascensor que facilite el acceso a personas con discapacidad o problemas de movilidad, o la eliminación de tres tabiques de pladur en la primera planta para conseguir una sala de exposición más diáfana y amplia. Actualmente, existen tres estancias pequeñas que dificultan la instalación de las muestras o colecciones de arte.

El Ayuntamiento también estima conveniente renovar la solería

del patio interior, la sustitución de las luminarias existentes por otras más adecuadas al uso expositivo, la permeabilización de la cubierta acristalada del patio principal o la renovación de la pintura.

Por otra parte, el Consistorio señala que el pasado mes de junio concluyó la exposición de la colección artística de Ángel Garó en la antigua Casa de ‘Las Tejerinas’. Durante cinco años, más de 65.000 personas han visitado la muestra de este artista que reunía piezas y obras de arte de diferentes técnicas: óleos, grabados, esculturas, cerámicas o marfiles.

El Ayuntamiento considera que la presencia de esta colección, que incluía litografías de Picasso, dibujos de Lorca, Alberti o Walt Disney e imaginería de varios autores, ha contribuido a que este inmueble, situado en la céntrica plaza de Las Flores, se haya consolidado como uno de los principales equipamientos culturales de la ciudad.

Datos sobre la casa de Las Tejerinas

Es un espacio singular construido en el siglo XVIII y situado en la plaza de Las Flores. Toma su nombre del apellido de la familia que habitó el edificio. Las últimas propietarias fueron Carmen y Francisca Tejerina. Ésta última lo dona al Hospital de la Caridad, teniendo uso asistencial hasta

que el Ayuntamiento se hizo cargo del edificio.

En el siglo XX gozó de la presencia de literatos importantes como es el caso de Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, quien reseña la estancia y la vida de las hermanas propietarias en sus ‘Cuadernos de La Romana’.

Estepona is seeking a grant to adapt the historic Casa de Las Tejerinas as an exhibition space Estepona Town Council reports has applied for a grant to the Provincial Council of Malaga to adapt the historic the historic Casa de Las Tejerinas as an exhibition space. Although this eighteenth century property has been used as a cultural centre since 2011, the local authorities have drawn up works and improvements that will improve its function as an exhibition centre.

Among the actions that could be undertaken with the grant include the installation of lift to provide access to people with disabilities or mobility problems, and the elimination of three partitions on the first floor to enlarge the showroom.

Currently, there are three small rooms that hinder the installation of some art collections.

The Council also considers it desirable to renew the flooring in the courtyard, replacement of

existing fixtures for those more appropriate to exhibition use, restoring the glass roof in the main courtyard and repainting.

The council points out that last June the exhibition period of the Angel Garó collection came to and end. For the past five years, over 65,000 people have visited the exhibition of this artist who gathered pieces and works of art of different techniques: oil paintings, prints, sculptures, ceramics and ivories.

The Council considers that the presence of this collection, including lithographs by Picasso, drawings by Lorca, Alberti or Walt Disney and imagery of several authors, has contributed to the popularity of this facility, located in Plaza de Las Flores, and has established itself as one of the major cultural resources in the Estepona.

Estepona registra el mejor junio en ocupación turística de la última década Estepona ha valorado los datos turísticos registrados el pasado mes de junio, que se han convertido en los mejores de la última década, según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE).

De esta forma, la localidad registró en junio un total de 167.164 pernoctaciones en la localidad lo que, en términos generales, supone un incremento del 10% respecto a las cifras del mes de junio del año anterior cuando se registraron un total de 151.841 pernoctaciones.

En relación a los datos, cabe destacar la subida que ha experimentado la localidad de visitantes extranjeros a partir de 2013, llegándose a duplicar en estos tres últimos años el número de pernoctaciones de este grupo de residentes.

El número de viajeros que recibió la ciudad en junio también se ha incrementado más de un 13% respecto al mismo mes del año pasado, registrándose un total de 34.817 personas. En relación a la ocupación turística, ésta se ha situado en el 77%, más de un 4 por ciento más que en el año 2015. En este sentido, la edil ha

destacado que “este año hemos conseguido superar los buenos datos que registramos el pasado año, por lo que se constata que Estepona sigue creciendo y postulándose como un destino atractivo para los turistas”.

La edil ha destacado la apuesta del equipo de gobierno por crear nuevos atractivos turísticos en torno al casco urbano de la ciudad. Así, el proyecto ‘Estepona, Jardín de la Costa del Sol’, que ha cumplido cinco años, ha renovado y embellecido más de 80 calles del centro histórico, creando un potente foco para los turistas en un entorno que con anterioridad pasaba desapercibido.

Prueba de ello es que la mayor web de viajes del mundo (Trypadvisor) ha destacado el casco antiguo como el principal atractivo turístico de Estepona, basándose en datos y valoraciones realizadas por los propios turistas. Junto a esto, el Parque Botánico-Orquidario se ha convertido en un gran elemento de interés y se ha convertido en parada obligada para todos los que visitan Estepona.

Estepona recorded the highest number of tourists in June of the last decade

The town hall has reviewed data on tourism recorded last June, which has become the best month for tourism of the last decade, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE).

During the month of June a total of 167,164 overnight stays were recorded in the town which, in general terms, means an increase of 10% compared to the figures from June last year when a total of 151,841 were registered.

The rise in foreign visitors to the town is notable in comparison with 2013, with overnight stays doubling in the last three years.

The number of travelers visiting the

town in June has also increased more than 13% in comparison with the same month last year, registering a total of 34,817 people.

Regarding the tourist occupation, it stood at 77%, more than 4 percent more than in 2015.

The largest travel website in the world (Tripadvisor) has highlighted the old town as Estepona’s main attraction, based on data and assessments by the tourists themselves. Along with this, the Botanical-Orquidarium Park has become a major element of interest and a must see for all the town’s visitors.

Es verano, es el momento de disfrutar de los chiringuitos Nada es más típico del verano español en la Costa del Sol que una visita a uno de los muchos chiringuitos que llenan la cista. Las playas de Manilva cuentan con gran cantidad de estos establecimientos tan tradicionales, desde el más rústico a los más elegantes. No hay nada igual a sentarse en la terraza, observando las preciosas arenas y el brillo del Mediterráneo, escuchando música en vivo o simplemente el sonido de las olas rompiendo en la orilla, con el olor de la maravillosa comida fresca que sale de la barbacoa, y una bebida bien fría.

Muchos puristas se han opuesto a los recientes edictos del Ministerio de Costas que requieren que todos los chiringuitos se muevan al borde de las playas, y las anteriores

construcciones tipo choza han sido demolidas para crear estructuras más permanentes, perdiendo así parte de su carácter tradicional.

El lado positivo es que muchos chiringuitos permanecen abiertos durante más tiempo, incluso todo el año.

If it’s summer it’s Chiringuito Time Nothing typifies the Spanish summer on the Costa del Sol more than a visit to one of the many beach bar/restaurants, chiringuitos, to be found along the coast. Manilva’s beaches have no shortage of these traditional hostelries, ranging from the distinctly rustic to the more upmarket and everything in between. There is nothing quite like sitting on the terrace gazing across the beautiful sands to the shimmering Mediterranean listening to live music or just the sound of the waves lapping on the sure, with the smell of wonderful fresh seafood wafting from the barbecue, and a nice cold drink to set it all off.

Many purists have objected to the

Coastal Ministry’s recent edicts requiring all chiringuitos be moved to the edge of the beaches and the previous ramshackle constructions have been demolished to make way for new, more permanent

structures, with a loss of some of the traditional character. The upside to this though is that many chiringuitos have extended their opening season, with some remaining open all-year-round.

Todo sucede en la playa A medida que las actividades durante el día se mueven a la playa en el verano, tiene sentido que el entretenimiento y otras actividades como salir a comer o cenar también se realicen allí, y aquí los chiringuitos son protagonistas.

Puedes disfrutar de una buena comida de pescado fresco, o relajarte con una bebida fría, viendo el mundo pasar, sintiendo la brisa marina que nos alivia del calor del verano.

Muchos chiringuitos ofrecen animación, ya sea con un DJ tocando lo último en música o con una banda en directo que toca tus canciones favoritas, bailes flamencos o música de fondo: hay algo para todos en el chiringuito.

It’s all happening on the beach As the focus of daytime activities shifts to the beach during the summer, then it makes sense that dining and entertainment should follow suit, and this is where the chiringuitos come into their own.

You can enjoy a good meal of fresh seafood, or just sit back with a cool drink, relax and watch the world go by, often cooled by a pleasant sea breeze providing relief from the summer heat.

Many chiringuitos provide entertainment, whether a DJ playing the latest funky sounds, a live band playing some of your favourite songs, flamenco dancing, or just some pleasant background music, there is something for everyone down at the beach bar.

This month sees the celebration of the Full Moon Festival, which this

The combination of heat, the

sea air, the smoke from the olive wood fire and the salted sardine being slowly grilled to perfection. A smell that is omnipresent on most beaches in and around the Costa del Sol. Even the sound is captivating,

the slow spitting of the fish oil, the cracking of the wood, the continual stoking of the wood embers and, of course, the conversation that invariably goes with it.

The humble sardine is the unwitting star of many a Spanish summer.

Originally from Holland, Olav settled in Spain almost a year ago and although his yachts are too big to enter the port, Olav himself is a regular in the Duquesa Port. Down to earth and really mild mannered Olav exemplifies the reason why he is also the skipper on his yachts. We had a very open and honest talk about his business and his plans for the future.

“I decided that I wanted something different and I have always loved the sea. Therefore yachting would fit me perfectly. I actually came to Duquesa to get my Captain's licenses and from then onwards the instructor asked me to be a teacher for his school. After that I decided I wanted to be involved in proper yachting, meaning luxurious super yachts of 30 meters and over.

I soon started my business called All Yachting Is. From this business I started managing small yachts first and later on got bigger yachts in my portfolio. The main business now is chartering yachts from 15m to 40m in the Sotogrande/Marbella area. Next to that we manage, maintain and sell superyachts along the coast.

The company now represents the biggest charter yachts on the coast.

Grey princess the 27m Bugari and Brazil a 40m Heesen.

“As a well-established name within the Superyacht industry we have shown that we can provide a consistent and professional

service. “All Yachting Is” focuses on all aspects within the superyacht industry. From superyacht sales to superyacht charters and even the management of your superyacht.

Therefore our name explains exactly what we stand for “AllYachting-Is”. Mission, vision and values Although our headquarters are located in the South of Spain, we are now establishing a solid base in the United States as well.

Focusing on global presence within the superyacht industry we plan to open 2 new offices along the Mediterranean coast before 2017 and consequently expanding to Asia before 2020. The satisfaction of our Customers is priority number one. By using only one assigned superyacht specialist as a contact person towards our customers, we ensure the personal approach which we value so much. Transparency is the other key-point we maintain with our customers to secure a trustful business relationship. There is always a solution. That is what we at AYI believe in. Time on time we have proven that you can only achieve perfection and satisfaction for both parties by being creative and thinking together with the customers.

By knowing exactly what a potential charterer wants, we select Yachts meeting these requirements and together we arrange your perfect holiday, business trip or weekend get-away. We clearly separate ourselves from the competition in certain areas such as the Costa del

MY BRAZIL Sol. We are the only superyacht company in the South of Spain that offers Yachts for charter and sale above the 40 meters mark.

This enables us to exclusively offer

specific yachts not offered by the competition. Should you wish to charter a yacht or know someone that might then contact Olav. If you book directly the savings on the

usual broker fees can be taken as a discount on the charter or paid out as a commission.

Email sportsdesk@theresident.eu for contact details.

Cocktail of the Month PORN STAR MARTINI

A Martini maybe the favourite for James Bond but we are going all the way with this.

Vodka and passoa with a dash of vanilla and passion fruit puree. Shaken not stirred.

Obviously. Served with a shot of cava on the side If you haven’t tried this yet…why not?

En la Residencia de las Palabras

Estar Sereno

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera

Intenciones De lo adverso se aprende...

Si estimas conveniente una sandalia hermosa, peregrinar se parece a esta ladera de luces y de sombras, esta vertiente de imaginar y verse y ver y continuar: las intenciones de seguir contra el viento, contra el océano, ser motivo para el poniente e ir a parar al mar.

La huella en la tierra acumula semillas para el sendero.

Quien pisó fue hombre y volumen.

Nadamos y nos protegemos del agua tempestuosa, sujétate mejor al árbol de la fe, te dice un Verbo. ¡Ay qué densidad!

De la raíz del olivo, la aurora aproxima sabia verde: las llanuras resecas se hacen fértiles con aguas de esperanza. (¡Qué intenciones la del peón poeta por conciliarse con la canción del alba! ¡Qué ilusiones!) Canciller del espacio que busca libertades.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “A la medida del hombre”.

La Abuela en la Ciudad Abuela, estás ahí, ahí mismo, en la esquina, vendiendo tabaco.

El buen cigarro rubio –dices, y luego acordándote de tu Pedro–: y el buen cigarro negro, original de los mejores prados de la noche.

Por un cigarro un sueño de humo.

Podrían ser más buenos... –rompes en pequeñas carcajadas, pensando en voz alta–. Y en un aleteo de mejillas se desperdigan las cenizas de uno de los cigarros y dices alzando la voz: Muchachos, galanes de la pipa, que también tengo breva y un librillo de América.

Jóvenes de boquilla y pitillera, que tengo un narguile con perfume de la India; que vendo el tabaco más duro o más dulce de la ciudad entera; llevo tabaco azul incitador del cielo, y qué saben las venas de vientos mareros el humo que las llevan.

Espigas en el azul (1977-1983)

Que el entusiasmo por la vida te proporcione capacidad humana.

(No siempre fue lo mismo...

Aunque te digan eso, descorcha tu mirada para emprender caminos, que no se ciegue tu alma y cabizbaja caiga al abismo.

Camina positivo para alcanzar el alba).

Eres tú quien le da ese motivo a tu quimera, quien puede sembrar rosas, quien abre la ventana; y tranquilo, en la página humana, puedes oler el día, y conquistar fragancias, y atravesar la luz y oír el sueño que te habla.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “A la medida del hombre”.

El Barrenero

Llevo más de cuarenta años en este oficio de barrenero y creo que esa experiencia merece un respeto. Mire usted, señor perito, he trabajado en minas y canteras y gracias a Dios no he tenido nunca ningún percance. Está claro que este terreno tiene una piedra peliaguda, a ver si soy capaz de destrozarla, y aunque no sea una piedra grande, ¡vaya si es deforme y difícil!, pero con idea y colocándole los explosivos en los lugares adecuados, este pedrusco se deshará. Así que déjeme intentarlo a mi modo, señor perito, y no me dé más instrucciones teóricas.

“Arranca el compresor, niño, y haz los boquetes”.

En muchas ocasiones, algunos del oficio me han dicho que no se hacía así, y yo, obediente, les hacía caso, y después, chasco, ruina; y luego, finalmente, tenía que intentarlo a mi modo. Usted es un perito joven, y entiendo que haya estudiado, pero yo, Eulalio Rodríguez, necesito libertad para trabajar, y no es que sea yo el que entiende este oficio como nadie, pero llevo cuarenta y tres años haciendo esto de barrenar, como para no saber por muy torpe que sea uno, pues no he quitado yo piedras que estorbaban a las construcciones de casas y carreteras.

Me he visto tres veces, tres veces enterrado en piedras y cascajos, por los desprendimientos, que hasta mi mujer fue a la sabia de Ronda a preguntarle si me recuperaría, cuando en una ocasión me lastimé la espalda. Estuve siete meses sin moverme, con antiinflamatorios, de esos que mandan los médicos para deshacerle con pólvora esteroide a uno el hígado. Pero yo sabía que no tenía nada malo, aunque era algo más que una contracción muscular.

Mi mujer me aconsejó que dejara ese trabajo, y yo le dije que no era torero. Ella creía que lo dejaría por miedo.

Las mujeres son así, creen que uno abandonará el trabajo por miedo. Y esto de ser barrenero también, señor perito, se lleva en la sangre, que ojalá todos los expertos en explosivos lo hicieran para bien de la comunidad. Sí, señor perito, no se preocupe usted, tendré cuidado con esta piedra.

“Niño, tráete cuatro cartuchos, arranca el compresor y haz los boquetes en los puntos que he marcado de la jodida piedra”.

Un nuevo día para amarnos He despertado, y en silencio me acomodo en el borde de la cama, que es como sentarse en una mansión del sueño; el pijama desprende una cálida luna que se acostó conmigo; la ropa, lejana me parece: miro el pantalón y no sé si tiene el cinturón puesto, me cuesta mucho encontrar un cinturón; por la ventana cerrada, pero no lo suficiente, se cuela un brote de la aurora y despierta del todo mi conciencia.

El día es fuente, color, si lo quiero, es plenitud, es abertura en la definición de vida por vivir, esa que ya poseo y que nada ni nadie puede arrebatarme.

He despertado, mi dolor es más leve por el amor que me ofrecen los míos, y alcanzo la ropa colgada en el perchero, el cinturón apareció oculto en el jersey.

Cuánta suerte tengo de estar junto a vosotros.

Sois como esos rayos que primero entran suaves, sonoros, esenciales, un brote de aurora por la ventana, y después convergen a una misma habitación abierta, sincera y familiar.

Buenos días de luz para romper las tinieblas.

Es para ti Este poema es para ti, una tilde que busca su palabra y la encuentra en la abundancia del mar.

Este poema es para ti, que ha madurado en su tiempo, una gota de rosas y de flores para el jardín de lluvias que me ofreces, quiero que sea distinto a todo texto, para cantar tu luz y merecer tu enjambre; oh golondrina de mi alma, vaso de mi sueño de carne, contigo voy rodando, unidad de la sangre; las pupilas calladas, en la mirada blanca residen testimonios y llenan el arca de nuestra alianza; mi corazón te ama saliendo de las torres en busca de damas y llanuras; te encontré, y te doy gracias, porque ahora mi verso se acurruca contigo; me desvelé para escribir, no, para decir mi voz que te amo, para hablarle a tus sueños en la madrugada; mientras tanto yo espero, ventanas de tus labios para beberme el sol.

Gracias por todo amiga, gracias por todo amor.

Local author launches Romantic Pastry Book

The Book Review Steve Davies The Sabinillas Bookshop - Tel: 952 891 545

The Last Letters of Jesus: The Secret of the Nazarenes: Volume 1 (The Nazarene Trilogy)

by Antonio Sebastian

Estepona author, Lady Heloïse has just launched a book on pastry making. The romantic pastry book entitled Sweet Time is published in both Spanish and English. The official presentation and book signing took place recently at Casa de la cultura del Ayuntamiento de Estepona and at the Queens British Grammar School, Estepona. In addition, those attending were able to sample some of the delicious pastry receipts from her book around a nice Sweet Table.

Lady Heloise was born and lived in France and is from an international family. She has been living in the Costa del Sol since 2002. From her arrival in Spain she has developed her passion for cooking and above all, pastry making. She enjoys using the new moulds and cooking materials that have entered the gastronomy field over the last few years.

The book identifies both the French and British influence and the pastry

creations are refined, feminine and romantic; where love is the King and Lady Héloïse the Queen.

Speaking recently on Estepona TV programme Café y Té, she was interviewed by the presenter, María José Sáez López about her new book. Also she presented the book in English on Estepona Life Style with Emma De Acedo.

Lady Heloïse highlighted the success of the book and emphasised the Spanish and English books were not printed in China as many cookery books are today. But the pastry book had a Spanish connection and was completely designed and printed in Andalucia.

The next development planned is for the pastry book to be produced in E-book format in the autumn, thus making it readily accessible to many. There is a web site which can be accessed for more information: www.lacocinaromantica.com

Palestine in the first century is a melting pot of Hebrew, Greek, Roman, and Oriental thought, a country at war with its own future. The priests and their cult of animal sacrifice effectively run the Judean Kingdom in the south. Israel in the north is home to Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef and he is running out of time. After a blockade of the Temple Sacrifices in Jerusalem, he is imprisoned alongside the assassin sent to kill him. Against all odds, his family and friends race to free him. Rabbi Yeshua is a prophet and a mystic who can see the approaching holocaust.

Within the violence of animal sacrifice, he can see the destruction of the Jewish people. He desperately tries to send word to the Sanhedrin but the forces of evil seek to silence his voice forever. Based on extensive research, the latest archaeology and modern textual interpretation, the Last Letters of Jesus is a work of Historical Fiction which tries to answer truthfully the ageold questions of ‘who was Jesus’ and ‘what did he really say’? Through the eyes of those who loved him most you can finally unwrap the facts enough to reveal the man behind the myth.

About the Author Antonio Sebastian is a child of the lost Colonies and belongs nowhere. Only half joking, he describes himself as “Eurotrash.”

As a commercial Diver, Subsea Inspection Engineer, and Technical Author, his career has blessed him with the freedom to pursue his studies unencumbered by tenure or faculty.

He is an Independent Scholar and Student of Anthropology and Religion. For many years, he was a serious student of Soto Zen Buddhism studying at Throssel Hole Priory in the north of England.

After twenty-five years, a personal crisis in Vietnam and a brush with Radical Islam in Algeria he came to the study of Early Christianity and Judaism. Fascinated by the philosophically coherent, Zen-like Koans, of the Jewish Nazarene movement, ten years ago he began a search for the Jesus of history. First century Palestine has since become his passion.

He is the author of several blogs and the historical fiction ‘Nazarene Trilogy’.

The St George Charity would like to give a big thank you to Christian and Paul and all the customers at Mirror Mirror Bar in Puerto del Duquesa, who raised a thousand euros during their III Birthday Bash last month.

Over the four night Charity Weekend there was a Big Birthday Quiz on the Thursday, whilst on

Friday there was an evening of LIVE Music and Drag Show with entertainment from the beautiful Kitti Litta and Friends!

For their Big Birthday Bash on Saturday there was a night of Divas and Cocktails, with three amazing acts, Frankie, Daniela and Ashley providing the entertainment.

Finally on Sunday there was

entertainment from Steve Anderton and the ‘Boozy Charity Raffle’.

This generous donation will go towards The Duquesa Charitable Society of St George’s Manilva Social Kitchen Project which is currently at the planning stage (more news of this shortly).

Once again a big thanks to all those involved.

Sotogrande Business Associates Golf Day raises over 1000 euros for St George Charity's Feed a Child Campaign San Roque Golf Club's beautiful Old Course was the venue for the Sotogrande Business Associates Golf Day on Friday 22 July. Around 80 players participated in the event sponsored by Abbeygate Insurance, Brilliant Dental, Tom Coulson Golf, Grupo Mercedes Sotogrande, La Cala Rentals and Travel Producer with a range of prizes including wine by Vinopolis and painting donated for auction by artist Elizabeth Bassadone.

On a hot afternoon the competition was stiff with the ultimate winners being: 1st Pairs - James Suenson Taylor, Andy Stanford 1st Team - Andy Stanford, Amanda

Sabistock- End of Summer Bash

Aunque aún nos queda verano que disfrutar, merece la pena apuntar en la agenda la fecha del 10 de septiembre, día en que se celebra el End of Summer Bash de este año.

El evento de este año se disfraza como “Sabistock”, un festival lleno de música durante más de 11 horas en el lugar usual, frente al Bar Fathoms en Calle Duquesa de Arcos, Sabinillas, Manilva.

El evento de este año recaudará dinero para la asociación local de discapacitados Luisiana, a través

de la Organización Benéfica Saint George.

Disfrutaremos de artistas como Ken Moore, Chloe Lawrence, Blue Moon, Ashley Bloor, Peter Charles, Mandy y Gerry Lovett, Daniela Caballero, Stelvis, Rob Sas, Beauties and the Beast, Mr. Maph, Hunky Dories, Jade Burgess, Radio Edition, Gaz Fearon y The Memphis Trio. ¡Promete ser un gran día!

After the prize giving the players were entertained by Marcus Myers.

The tournament resulted in a very generous donation of over 1000 euros for the Duquesa Charitable Society of St George's Feed a Child Campaign and the charity's campaign coordinator, Jojo France, was there to thank the players and organisers and to explain the campaign which provides breakfasts for needy schoolkids to ensure they do not go to school hungry.

Although Summer is still at its height, it is worth setting aside Saturday 10 September in your diaries for this year’s “End of Summer Bash”.

This year’s event is masquerading as ‘Sabistock’ with a whole festival’s worth of music over 11 hours at the usual venue opposite Fathoms Bar in Calle Duquesa de Arcos, Sabinillas Manilva.

This year the event is raising money for the local handicapped association Luisana, through the Saint George Charity.

With artists such as Ken Moore, Chloe Lawrence, Blue Moon, Ashley Bloor, Peter Charles, Mandy and Gerry Lovett, Daniela Caballero, Stelvis, Rob Sas, Beauties and the Beast, Mr Maph, Hunky Dories, Jade Burgess, Radio Edition, Gaz Fearon, and the Memphis Trio already confirmed it promises to be a great day.

THE RESIDENT Agosto - August 2016

¡Cómo medir tu éxito!

El mes pasado hablamos del mejor programa de entrenamiento para tí, esperamos que lo hayas podido encontrar, pero ahora que lo tienes, ¿cómo puedes saber si está funcionando o no?

La mayoría de la gente juzga su éxito por cuánto pesan, pero no toda la pérdida de peso es igual, la pérdida de masa muscular no es algo bueno, la pérdida de grasa si lo puede ser, pero ¿cómo saber la diferencia? ¿Y cuál es la mejor manera de medir tu éxito?

Desde el punto de vista de entrenador personal, utilizo el siguiente: Inicialmente, uso una máquina ‘Bodystat’ que mide no sólo la composición del cuerpo, la cantidad de grasa, músculo, hueso y agua que posees, sino que también asesora el rango ideal. Si tu plan es perder mucho peso, esta máquina no mentirá. Si el peso de la báscula sigue bajando, es una buena indicación de que está perdiéndolo, pero recuerde que no toda pérdida es igual.

Esta máquina te permite medir lo que estás perdiendo y te permite hacer cambios para asegurar que cumplas tus objetivos, y que no estás perdiendo músculo en lugar de grasa cuando pretendes tonificar tu cuerpo.

Es por eso que no se puede confiar sólo en la báscula para comprobar que has aumentado tu masa muscular.

Eso es lo que la mayoría de la gente hace y si ganan 5 kilos asumen que es un aumento de músculo y siguen haciendo lo que están haciendo sin saber si su dieta o entrenamiento les está proporcionando resultados.

El espejo nunca miente!

Tomando una fotografía antes de empezar es una herramienta muy poderosa, que permite al cliente ver su cuerpo desde todos los ángulos; puedes fijarte en cada parte del cuerpo de forma individual, pero a medida que tu cuerpo cambia proporciona el perfecto motivador para mantenerte en curso.

hago, mi peso máximo en 1 repetición en cada ejercicio, mis tiempos en pruebas de resistencia, los alimentos que he comido y las horas que duermo cada día. Para la mayoría de la gente esto parece obsesivo, pero para mí es una forma de medir mi éxito personal, y qué eventos en mi día pueden haber llevado a ello.

Si no grabas todo lo que haces dentro y fuera del gimnasio o en la cocina, nunca sabrás cuánto progreso estás alcanzando. No puedes saber cuándo aumentar el peso con el que trabajas, o qué ejercicios hacer en tu próximo programa de entrenamiento, y mucho menos cuando debes realizar cambios seguir viendo cambios.

Nunca sabrás qué programas de entrenamiento y que dieta funcionan mejor para ti. Y lo peor de todo, si estás sobreentrenando o haciendo algo muy incorrecto con tu dieta, no sabrás cuál es el problema, ya que no tienes la información que necesitas. Sólo invertir un poco de tiempo y hacer un registro informativo puede suponer la diferencia entre el éxito y el fracaso, no seas perezoso.

Muchos programas ofrecerán un cierto éxito, pero la mayoría de los programas necesitan ajustes para adaptarse al individuo, saber cuándo y qué retocar es la verdadera clave para mejorar tu cuerpo, ya sea para adelgazar, ser más rápido o más fuerte o mejorar la salud, ¡regístralo!

La cinta métrica

El establecimiento de objetivos para la pérdida o ganancia de centímetros es un método muy fácil de medir tu éxito, siempre mido bíceps, pecho, cintura, caderas, muslos y pantorrillas, vuelvo a medirlos cada 6 semanas para ayudar a mantener la motivación de mis clientes.

Agenda

Personalmente, guardo un libro de registro diario, puedo realizar un seguimiento de cada sesión de ejercicios que

How to measure your success!

Last month we talked about what was the best training programme for you, hopefully you have found it, but now that you have, how do you know if it is working or not?

Most people judge their success by how much they weigh, but not all weight loss is equal, muscle loss is negative where fat loss is positive, but how do you tell the difference? And are there better ways to measure your success.

From a PT point of view, I use the following: Initially, I will use a ‘bodystat’ machine which measures the body’s composition, how much fat, muscle, water and bone the body has, it also advises the ideal range. If your plan is to lose a lot of weight, then this machine won’t lie. If the weight on the scale keeps going down then that’s probably a good indication you’re losing, but remember not all loss is equal at least this machine allows you to measure what you are losing and it allows you to make changes to ensure that your goals are being met, and that you are not losing muscle instead of fat when trying to bulk up.

That is why you can’t just rely on the scale to tell keep track of your gains. That’s what most people do, just hop onto the scale, and if they gained 5 pounds they just assume it was muscle and keep on doing what they are doing not knowing if their diet or training is doing them any good.

The mirror never lies!

Taking a before photograph is a very powerful tool, it allows the client to see their body from every angle; you can look at each body part individually, but has the body changes it provides the perfect on-going motivator.

The Tape Measure

Setting goals for inch loss or inch gain is such an easy method of measuring success, I always measure, biceps, chest, waist, hips, thighs and calves, re-measuring every 6 weeks helps keep the client on track.

Log Book

Personally, I keep a daily log book, I keep track of every workout that I do, what my 1 max rep is per weight lifting move, my times per fitness challenge, what foods I have eaten on any given day and how much sleep I have had per day, for most people this would seem obsessive, but for me it is a way of measuring my personal success, and what events in my day may have affected it someway.

If you don’t record everything you do in and out of the gym or kitchen, you will never know how much progress you’re making. You wouldn’t know when to up the weight, or what exercises to do in your next training program, or let alone even know when you should make changes to see changes.

You would never know what training and diet programs worked best for you. And worst of all if you’re overtraining or doing something very wrong with your diet you wouldn’t know what the problem would be since nothing is written down. So just invest a little time and make a good quality log, don’t play it by ear and be lazy.

Most programs will offer some success, but most programs need tweaking to suit the individual, knowing when and what to tweak is the real key to improving your body , whether to lose weight, get faster or stronger or even just healthier, LOG IT!

Remember, train wiser, not longer!

When knee surgery doesn’t work Recent evidence suggests that as many as 20% of patients who have a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) continue to suffer chronic pain after surgery. That’s a lot of risk, cost, lost time and rehab for no progress.

The 3 S’s of a “happy” knee:

Why is straight important?

1.

Straight

If you aren’t straightening your leg correctly:

2.

Strong

So if you’ve still got knee pain and you aren’t making progress perhaps there’s more to it?

3.

No Swelling

1. you aren’t using your foot, ankle, knee or hip correctly.

Referred pain

Before Surgery

Everything in the body is connected. And it should all work together as a team. If one part is out of balance than this can cause other parts to work harder, become lopsided . . . in other words it can cause pain elsewhere, this is called referred pain and is a huge factor that is often ignored as we much prefer to treat the part that hurts!

This is why the first step in ANY treatment program is a full, clinical assessment of the patient. Not just your knee but all the parts connected to your knee as well so that’s your foot, ankle, hip, lower back AND the other leg!

If you’ve been compensating and overworking your left knee since an accident 10 years ago in your right knee - your left knee is going to start complaining about doing twice the work!

You operate on that loud left knee but . . . no one checked that right knee and now your recovering left knee is still doing twice the work!

2. You have a limp and this can cause back pain as well Dr Donald K Shelbourne, an American surgeon who pioneered the ACL reconstruction also developed the “Accelerated ACL Reconstruction Rehabilitation Protocol”.

His patients returned to full, daily activities 4 weeks after surgery! And sport 8 weeks after surgery!

What makes his process so different? Before surgery the 3 S’s must be met.

After surgery

3. The joint position is not correct which speeds up cartilage damage (aka arthritis).

4. The quadriceps muscles lose “control” of the knee.

5. Ligaments don’t work properly 6. The hamstrings are no longer stretched correctly.

7. Puts incorrect pressure on your foot causing ankle and toe problems.

What to do?

Get your knee, Straight and Strong with no swelling.

If you’ve had surgery the 3 S’s are the focus of your recovery.

And if you’re still in pain get checked and get support.

And need to start the 1st day after surgery. The longer you wait the more the muscles waste and the harder it is.

For more information on knee pain, rehab and basic knee exercises as well as Chronic Pain please check out our website, www.TheBodyworksClinic.com, our Facebook page, Bodyworks Health Clinic or call us on 952 883 151

Use crutches properly, do your exercises and bring the swelling down.

Si sus planes de vacaciones este verano incluyen a sus animales entonces hay otras consideraciones a tener en cuenta y más para las caminatas en el campo o los paseos por la playa. Todo lo que brilla no es de oro, y con este calor hay que estar al tanto de las amenazas de los ectoparásitos - pulgas, garrapatas, mosquitos y moscas - como se ha mencionado en artículos anteriores. Los perros y los gatos no transpiran a través de su piel, como los seres humanos y los caballos. Cortando todo el pelo de nuestro perro en el verano porque está jadeando no necesariamente va hacerle más fresco.

Ese abrigo de piel podría estar ayudando a protegerle contra insectos picadores y a su vez aislarle un poco del sol y las quemaduras. Un perro o gato jadea cuando hace calor como una forma de controlar la temperatura corporal, del mismo modo, no siempre significa que tienen sed. Hay muchos tipos de malas hierbas y semillas de plantas secas que se pegan al pelo y a la piel que pueden causar todo tipo de problemas entre los dedos de los pies, la nariz, en las orejas y oídos, o en el ojo. Si un chapuzón en el mar o la piscina es bueno para refrescar, es importante recordar que para nosotros enjuagarnos después del agua salada o del cloro con agua clara, será lógico que los animales reciban el mismo tratamiento. Esto puede ayudar a reducir los hot spots (puntos calientes) o eczemas de verano que son demasiado frecuentes.

Demasiado uso de champú, incluso con el más suave de los champús medicados pueden causar problemas de la piel en lugar de resolverlos.

Asegúrese de que en el calor tengan abundancia de agua disponible. Si el agua no es apta para que bebamos entonces deberíamos dar a nuestros animales de la misma agua embotellada que usamos.

Deben estar en un lugar bien ventilado, y un lugar con sombra para poder refugiarse.

Recuerde, si viaja con su perro y teiene que dejarlo en el coche por un corto

periodo de tiempo, piense dos veces.

Incluso dejando las ventanas parcialmente abiertas no puede proporcionar suficientes propiedades de enfriamiento como se muestra en el triste caso de los dos perros de la policía en Inglaterra, que murieron hace poco aunque sólo se dejaba desatendido durante unos pocos minutos. Si está preocupado de que su perro está sufriendo un sobrecalentamiento, o sea un golpe de calor o se muestra signos de angustia, debemos tomar medidas inmediatas para ayudarlo. En primer lugar, enfrie sus pies mojonándolos o colocándolos en un recipiente con agua fría y así como una ligera ducha con agua fría, y en segundo lugar busque asesoramiento profesional por un golpe de calor que puede tener un desenlace fatal. Los Perros sudan o hacen la termorregulación (como ya decimos) a través de sus pies y jadeando, por lo que enfriando los pies es una de las maneras más rápida de aliviar su angustia del calor.

También es importante tener en cuenta el calor irradiado de asfalto, cemento, caminos de tierra o arena de la playa. Si no puede caminar cómodamente descalzo sobre estas superficies es probablemente demasiado caliente para pasear a su mascota. También pueden salir ampollas o sufrir quemaduras en los pies/patas/ garras/pezuñas.

Manteniendo estos consejos en mente debería proporcionar unas vacaciones más sanas y relajadas para todos.

En caso de duda consulte a un profesional.

47 THETHE RESIDENT Agosto - August 2016 RESIDENT Junio - June 2014

The Heat Is On If your holiday plans include your animals this summer then there are other considerations to be aware of for those hikes in the countryside or jaunts on the beach. All that glitters is not gold and with this heat be aware of the threats from ectoparasites – fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and biting flies – as mentioned in previous articles. Dogs and cats do not perspire through their skin as humans and horses do, cutting all the fur down on our dog in the summertime because they are panting may not necessarily make them cooler. That fur coat could be helping to protect against biting insects and insulating somewhat against the sun and protecting against sunburn. A dog or cat pants when it is hot as a means of controlling body temperature, likewise it does not always mean that they are thirsty.

There are many types of weeds and dry plant seeds that stick to fur and can cause all sorts of problems between the toes, up the nose, down the ear, or in the eye. If a dip in the sea or the pool is in order remember that we rinse the salt water or chlorine off afterwards, it follows then that our animals get the same treatment. This may help in reducing the all too frequent hot spots or summer eczemas. Over shampooing, even with the mildest of medicated shampoos may cause skin problems rather than resolving them. Make sure in the heat that they have abundant fresh water available and a shady spot to take refuge in. If the water isn’t fit for us to drink we ought to be giving our animals the same bottled water that we use.

They should be in a well ventilated area.

Remember, if travelling with your dog and having to leave him in the car for a short while, think twice. Even leaving the windows partially open may not provide sufficient cooling properties as shown in the sad case of the two police dogs in England that died, although they had only been left

unattended for just a few minutes. Should you be concerned that your dog or pet is overheating or showing signs of distress, immediate action must be taken to help them.

Firstly, cool their feet by hosing him down or placing his feet in a bowl of cold water and secondly, seek professional advice because heat stroke can be fatal. As mentioned above dogs “sweat” or thermoregulate (as we say in the trade) through their feet and by panting and therefore cooling the feet is one of the fastest ways of alleviating their heat distress.

It is also important to be aware of the heat irradiated from tarmac, cement, dirt tracks, or beach sand. If you cannot walk comfortably bare-footed over these surfaces it is probably too hot to walk your pet. They can also get burns or blisters on their feet/ paws/hooves.

Keeping these few things in mind should make for a more relaxed vacation for all concerned.

When in doubt consult a professional.

The Gecko on the Wall The world of golf through the eyes of Calum McGregor This year is a golf supporters dream year. With the inclusion of the Olympics golf starting on August 11th and The Ryder Cup taking place later in the year, the professional golf schedule is packed full of events. With such a busy year of golf ahead, last month witnessed two major championships played a few weeks apart. This is great for the golfing fans that can’t get enough of the sport but it also proves the hard work and dedication required from the professional golfers, their caddies and their team. To excel at this level of golf there requires a complete synchronicity between

caddie and player. A trust and belief between the player and the caddie is worth a few shots per round.

Dedication from your team of coaches who spend hours working on the range with computer analysis and track man statistics are now an essential part of the modern game.

Complete confidence in your management company to arrange your transport and to arrange your accommodation gives the players peace of mind going into the tournaments. Having family and loved ones waiting at the hotel room I imagine would also play an integral part in the professional golfer’s mind-set when playing in a

This Month’s Majors

major tournament.

This leads me to think about my boys out on The Challenge Tour, one tier down from the big league of European Tour Golf. You would never believe it if I told you that most of the players on The Challenge Tour book their own flights and hotel rooms often sharing the least expensive with a few of the other players. Not all of the players can afford caddies and carry their own bags during tournament days.

Solitary hours on the driving range match the solitary hours spent in hotel lobbies talking to loved ones at home on skype or Facebook.

As much as I love to watch the

best golfers on the planet compete and win major championships I also know that a group of young players that I class as my friends are grinding away, not far from the world’s spotlight. I follow The Challenge Tour as closely as I do the main tours and it makes me happier to see my boys breaking course records and scoring personal bests. When I see one of my friends win, come second or even make their first top 10 finish at a Challenge Tour event it makes me think about the future and the majors that are still to come. I am positive that someone you read about in our “Meet the locals”

section will one day have you glued to the TV on a final day.

The Open, the likes of Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Adam Scott, Justin Rose and more world-class players were in attendance at the ‘Sergio and Friends’ event in Switzerland, and his contemporaries were quick to add their voices to the abundance of admiration that has flooded Stenson’s way from

across the globe in the wake of his incredible victory.

Spain’s Sergio Garcia finished with a total of -4 for the tournament and tied 5th alongside Rory McIlroy and Tyrell Hatton. Miguel Angel Jimenez managed to make it into the top 20 with an overall score of level par after the four days play. I

also would like to mentioned one of our young locals, Scott Fernandez who managed to qualify for the event and played in his first ever career major.

The Ice Man, ever the consummate pro, Henrik Stenson, Open Champion, Major winner, we salute you.

American Jimmy Walker wins his first major with a oneshot victory at the US PGA Championship at Baltusrol.

This year’s Open Championship turned out to be one of the most memorable in golfing history. In years to come people will remember where they witnessed the duel between Stenson and Mikelson much like people remember the duel in the sun. Legendary Tom Watson even said that Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson’s Open battle at Troon was of a higher quality than his ‘Duel in the Sun’ with Jack Nicklaus in 1977.

The Golfing great himself, Nicklaus, said his celebrated final round with Watson at Turnberry “was really good, theirs was even better”.

Five-time Open champion Watson, 66, agreed with his fellow golfing great. “They played better golf than Jack and I did, It was very similar, in that two men were fighting it out at the end but what Henrik did was absolutely remarkable. The way he played was terrific. And the way

Mickelson made those key par putts on 12 and 17 to keep him in it, was vintage Mickelson.”

Stenson, who broke a plethora of long-standing records during his three-shot win in Scotland, went toe-to-toe with five-time Major winner Phil Mickelson in a thrilling final-day duel as the Swede carded a Sunday 63 to equal the lowest round in Major history, while his 264 aggregate score was also the lowest ever in a Major Championship.

The 40 year old is widely regarded as one of the European Tour’s greatest characters and is if to further exemplify his class, Stenson travelled straight from Ayrshire to Switzerland – with Claret Jug in tow – for a prearranged commitment to play in a Sergio Garcia Foundation charity day at Golf Club Bad Ragaz.

Following an epic 145th edition of

American Jimmy Walker wins his first major with a one-shot victory at the US PGA Championship at Baltusrol.

The 37-year-old closed with a bogey-free three-under-par 67 to hold off Australia’s world number one Jason Day to win on 14 under.

American Daniel Summerhays was third on 10 under, while Open champion Henrik Stenson faded with a 71 to finish joint seventh on eight under.”It is surreal, an incredible finish,” said Walker, ranked 48th in the world. England’s Tyrrell Hatton (68) and Paul Casey (67) ended on seven under.

For the first time since 2011, all four of the year’s majors have been claimed by first-time winners.

England’s Danny Willett won the Masters in April, American Dustin Johnson took the US Open in June, while Swede Stenson won the Open two weeks ago. He opened his week with a five-under 65 to lead the tournament and followed it with a 66 to hold the halfway lead on nine under with American Robert Streb. Walker did not play on Saturday, when the threat of storms forced play to

be abandoned but returned with 49 others on Sunday morning for round three.

He carded a 68 to take a one-shot lead over defending champion Day, who had shot a 67, into the afternoon’s final round. Walker holed half-a-dozen putts of between three and five feet as he opened with nine straight pars to reach the turn on 11 under. He then pitched in from a bunker on the 10th for a birdie and followed that with a 30-foot putt on the next to get to 13 under. A run of five

pars was ended by a third birdie on the par-five 17th, but it turned out to be a more nervy finish than Walker would have hoped for.

With a three-shot lead on the last, he opted for the safety of an iron off the tee. But then Day rolled in a 14-foot eagle putt to close the deficit to one and Walker then hit his second shot into greenside rough. He chipped his third to 35 feet and had two putts for the win, eventually holing from three feet to seal the victory and to claim his first major title.

Meet the Locals

W

ith our summer being the middle of the professional golf season, most of the Pros who live or practise in The Costa del Sol are busy playing in tournaments across the world.

Some of our local boys and girls are plying their trade on the respective tours they qualified for. I decided to send a short series of questions to all the golfers so you could read a mini interview with each one and

perhaps get to know the locals a little bit better. Here is just a handful of responses that I think will make a fun and interesting insight into the minds of the different golfers and you will be surprised at how similar they are.

1. Where are you from?

2. First memory of golf 3. When did you start playing, living or practising in the Costa del Sol?

Adam Sagar - North Yorkshire, England 4. What made you move/train/ 5.

6.

7.

8.

live in the Costa del Sol? What is your greatest golfing moment?

What has been your best achievement lately golf or Non golf?

What is your future goals and dreams What is your favourite course/ memory/experience in the Costa del Sol?

Ross Kellett - Motherwell, Scotland Watching the Masters on BBC was my first memories and what made me want to play golf. 2009 was my first trip to play on the Costa del Sol. I now spend a few months of my winter practicing there each year as the weather is the best in Europe, the courses are very accommodating and the way of life is fantastic. Winning as a Professional on the Alps Tour in Italy in 2012 was a moment to remember. My goal is to compete regularly on the European Tour.

Favourite course on the Costa Del Sol is Real Club de Golf Las Brisas.

I have had fantastic support from Aberdeen Asset Management, Blue Group Machinery and The Paul Lawrie Foundation . Hope this helps Calum Rossco Rossco failed to mention that he is

currently playing on The Challenge Tour where he finished in fifth place at the most recent event in France, a week after shooting an incredible career low tournament score of

-11 (60) at the event in La Gomera Spain. Ross Kellett is going to be a huge name in the future. You can follow Ross’s progress on the European Tour's Website.

Scott Fernandez - Granada, Spain

My first memory was being on the driving range with my dad. I first played golf in the Costa del Sol when I was 8 years old in the Andalucian junior tour. I remember playing my first tournament in Guadalhorce par 3 course. The golf courses along the coast are always in great shape. There are so many kinds of designs. This is great to keep your game in shape.

My greatest golfing moment was hitting the first shot at the Open at Royal Troon last month. Great memory that I will always have to look back on. I am really happy to get my college degree in the States. I graduated with a degree in Marketing from Iowa State University. My goal is playing at the highest level of golf. Having both my PGA and European tour cards. And why not a major victory.

Playing The Spanish European tour Open at the great course of Valderrama. It was a memorable week because it's the national tournament and playing it as a professional my first year was an honour. I am very thankful for the support that week. I would like to thank the Spanish pro team, Ping and Titleist for the equipment support. Hope this helps Cal, call me if there is anything else you need.

I met Scott when he played on the Gecko tour and since the end of the season I have followed Scott as he played at Valderrama GC as part of the Spanish Team alongside Sergio Garcia and the boys. I then witnessed Scott qualify alongside Colin Montgomerie for The Open.

Follow him on The European Tour website. Good luck buddy.

My first memory of golf would be watching Tigers first masters. I started practicing in Costa del Sol in 2001, whilst on holiday and have been coming here ever since to train because of the weather. My greatest golfing moment would be when I met Tiger Woods in the 2002 WGC at Valderrama. My greatest achievement lately would be the 64 round I shot at El Paraiso during the Andalucía PGA event. The 64 featured 9 birdies. My future goal is to get my European tour card at Q school this year and then keep it next year. My favourite courses are The San Roque Club & Sotogrande as both are an absolute pleasure to play, My all-time favourite memory would be meeting Seve Ballesteros at The San Roque club when he gave a junior clinic to all the kids in the area. My biggest sponsor is JyskeBank Gibraltar and Wrightile Ltd in Chorleywood, England. Recently I have played on The Mena tour all over the world.

Dubai, Morocco, Spain, Thailand

and South Africa. I also went to chile & Argentina this year for PGA Latin American but sadly missed getting a card by 1 shot.

Interesting fact about me is I like to dress up as superheroes when I play. Match my outfit and colours to the head cover of the day, I dress as Ironman, Batman, Superman, Captain America, The Flash, the Incredible Hulk, The Riddler, The Joker and Spider-Man.

Rocco Draper Sanjust - Rome, Italy My first memory of playing golf was on a video game as a 5 year old with my grandfather who loved golf. I started my Pro career in the Costa del Sol on The Gecko Tour in October 2015. Calum was there when I played my first Pro event.

I now spend most of my winters in the Estepona area. Being able to practice with good weather in winter and compete against strong fields on the Gecko Tour is vital if I wish to compete at the highest level. My best achievement so far was finishing 3rd at the Sotogrande Masters on the Mena Tour at La Reserva. This summer season I am playing on The Mena Tour. I have played solid for the first part of the season and I am looking forward to the second part and main tournaments starting September 7th. Short term goal is to finish in the top 5 on Mena Tour and get a Sunshine Tour card. My long term goal is to play in Majors.

My happiest memory is probably making my first cut in my first pro event at Torrequebrada holing a curly downhill 15 footer on 18 hole for birdie. My favorite courses in Spain are The San Roque Club and La Reserva GC. Fattoria Petrolo, my family's winery has been my biggest sponsor and support.

What's going on buddy!! How are you?? I'm in Denmark for the Made

in Denmark qualifier! When's new book coming out?? I wanna buy a signed copy!!

I was at Rocco’s debut professional tournament and I have watched him grow as a player over the last few years. Taking third place at La Reserva was a fantastic achievement as Rocco was playing against a really strong field. A week after the Sotogrande Masters was the Spanish open. Rocco had to beat many golfers who had qualified for the event and where using The Sotogrande Masters as a warm up. Rocco beat a number of European tour players that event.

Rocco is surely destined for great things in the future and I am proud to say that he has become a very good personal friend of mine.

Anton Nilsson - Karlskrona, Sweden My first memory of golf was when I won a match play tournament. Aged 11 years old playing against 13-16 year eold guys. I was wearing orange pants just like Rickie Fowler does nowadays. Three years ago, I followed my coach to San Roque for one week and then I headed to Marbella for two weeks and played in two events on the Gecko Tour. I have now been coming to the Costa del Sol for the last 3 winters. The main reason is for the weather.

Sweden is really cold during the winter so it's impossible to make good practice. I like to compete all year so it is also because of the Gecko Tour. My greatest moment was during the Nordic Golf League Q-school 2013. I made an ace to take the lead on the ninth hole. That was really cool. I played a small tournament on my home club two weeks ago and made 8 birdies and 2 eagles in one round. My future goals are to be able to play golf for a living, create a family, enjoy life and have fun. Two years ago I played Valderrama GC on my birthday. That was

amazing. That is definitely one of the best courses I have ever played! Definitely my parents have been my biggest support.

Anton and his parent are fantastic friendly people. I have watched Anton over the last few seasons and he has undoubtedly got stronger and better. His name is starting to appear on the Gecko Tour leader boards more frequently. I also had the pleasure of playing golf with Anton and the Swedish team on my recent birthday and he is a great guy who hits the ball a mile. Another one for the future.

The Med Golf Club Established in 1992 by a small group of golfers in Gibraltar The Med Golf Club was setup to provide a friendly society offering members golf insurance and discounts on the top courses in the area as well as monthly professionally run but fun competitions on different local courses, backed up by major sponsors enabling us to offer great prizes & crystal trophies.

The society developed into a business as Med Golf received more interest from overseas golfers, keen to enjoy the golf rates we could offer. Med Golf Holidays was born and is now a key player in the Gibraltar, Costa del Sol and southern Andalucía region for luxury golf breaks including golf holidays in Marbella and Sotogrande.

Andy Hunter is one of the founding directors of Med Golf, a keen golfer himself and a stickler for

detail and quality assurance. John Hunter is also a founding director of the company and single figure handicap golfer. John has an eye for a quality golf course and lists his favourite courses in the area as San Roque, Sotogrande, La Reserva & Finca Cortesin, all of which now feature in our packages.

Andy pointed out "Med Golf is a family business and we think of our

members as our extended family, we pride ourselves on a friendly service, we really believe our club and our tournaments have the warmest welcome and the biggest smile! Besides Med Golf John & I have opened 7 successful bars & restaurants in Gibraltar over the last 25 years, we can now offer our members discounts in each of these bars, all included in their £40 membership annual membership."

Caddies Corner In this month’s “Caddies Corner” I would like to introduce you all to a local Sabinillas resident called John Hort.

I have had the pleasure of John’s company on many occasions and he never ceases to amuse me with his stories from the years he spent caddying.

In future editions I will be sharing with you some incredibly funny stories from his life on the European tour but for now I would just like to introduce you to a man who has lived a life that I still dream of living.

John was Born in Healesville Victoria Australia in 1953. He started caddying in 1987 for Brett Ogle at The Australian Open. In 1988 he came to caddie on The European Tour and during his caddie career amassed fourteen tournament victories. Nine victories were with Ogle, Three with Pierre Fulke, one with Stephen Leaney and one with Damien McGrane.

On the bag of Pierre Fulke, John won the end of season 2000 Volvo Masters at Montecastillo then finished 2nd in The World Matchplay in Melbourne which got the pair into the Ryder Cup team which was cancelled that year because 9/11. John Caddied in the Ryder Cup team under the captaincy of Sam Torrance in 2002 and his player had a putt to win the cup but missed. Two minutes later McGinley holed the winning putt. “I have had many highlights, but winning The Pebble Beach Pro-am 1993 with Ogle and winning The Volvo Masters with Fulke were pretty awesome.” The last event John caddied at was The Scottish Open 2013.

That same year he turned 60 in June, retired in July, got married for the 1st time in September and moved to Sabinillas. “It was a very dramatic change of life but I always loved the area as we came here often for Valderrama and other events and being Aussie I love the warmth.” Basic career 1987 - 1993 Brett Ogle 1993 - 2005 Pierre Fulke 2005 - 2013 Damien McGrane.

The Jyske Bank Trophy was held on Sunday 17th July at The San Roque Club New Course and I was delighted to be one of 85 players who contested the event. A very large contingent of San Roque Club members lead by their ladies captain, (Mary Flavin) played the event. All the San Roque Club Members and the other guests that played on the day became Med Golf members for a year. Thank You John Hunter for the generous inclusion to the club.

The weather was as you would expect on an Andalusian summers morning. Blue skies and sunshine was the backdrop to the cork tree lined San Roque Club's fairways.

Jyske Bank, sponsors of The Med Golf Order of Merit, Adam Sagar and my sports section were also the main sponsors of the day and added a host of additional prizes along with an after golf cocktail party. I had the pleasure of playing alongside Javi Hunter who although is still at school managed to beat

me. Soren “The Sandman” Koefoed from Jyske bank entertained us by hitting every bunker on the course and Steve a local resident from Alcaidesa who was a better wine drinking partner than golfer.

With such great company it didn’t matter how well you played it was still a fantastic golf day with brilliant company.

The winner of The Jyske Bank Trophy was Louis Calvente 37 points.

Other prizes were won as follows: Best gross score was won by Chris Warren with a score of 85.

Best pairing was Louis Calvente and Douglas Casciaro with a combined score of 68 points.

The best guest was Debbie Richards with a score of 33 points.

The best lady was also Debbie Richards on handicap. Giovanna Wright was second also with 33 points.

The best 4 ball group was Louis Calvente, Douglas Casciaro, Nicky Sanchez and Dermot Keelan with

a joint score of 121 points.

The worst 4 ball group was Joe Peńalver, Ian Wood and Paul Mosen with a joint score of 81 (the average score of the 3 ball was added as the 4th player).

The nearest the pin winners were: Ian McNee (see below), Jonathan Rix, David MacGregor and Stephen Morley. Tim Mitchell won nearest the pin in 2 on a par 4. Winner of nearest the pin in 3 on a par 5 was Peter Lenderyou.

Jyske Bank positioned Anders Ostergaard on the par 3 4th hole offering a sleeve of balls to anyone that could get closer to the pin than his ball.

Things were going well until Ian McNee hit the green and in one bounce was in the hole for one.

The initial euphoria was rapidly tempered by the sobering thought of satisfying 85 thirsty golfers at the bar. However, so generous were the sponsored free drinks that no one was left at the bar in the end.

THE RESIDENT Agosto - August 2016

Dean’s Sports Fishing moves to Duquesa Port The Atlantic and Mediterranean shorelines are ideal for fishing and Dean's Fishing Holidays provide everything required for a day of open sea fishing.

Fishing for swordfish, Yellowfin and Red Fin Tuna is a spectacular experience and has been immortalised in several feature films. You can try your hand at this sport from July to September in the Bay of Cádiz. Also some great shark fishing provides good entertainment. True enthusiasts will compete for various trophies awarded by competitions organised throughout summer but amateurs can also try their luck with Dean's Fishing Holidays.

Dean's Fishing Holidays are in a popular area for fishing. The sea off the coast of Andalucia is abundant with marine life. This is mainly due to the constant inflow of water from the Atlantic Ocean to make up for the evaporation from the Mediterranean. This mix of waters seems to create an ideal environment to encourage marine life to flourish.

Footgolf combines Football and golf and is based closely on the rules of golf. Unlike Golf, footgolf is played with just one's feet and a size five football, rather than with a club and a golf ball.

The game originated in Holland, where the first organized tournament was held in 2008, and now the game is played in over 50 countries.

Groups can play 9 or 18 holes at the Casares Footgolf, or play more than 18 at no extra cost. It's a brilliant game for families to play together and children under 16 do need to be accompanied by adult, per golf course rules. The family that kicks together, sticks together!!

Just 10 euros for kids and 20 for adults which includes bottled water and your rented football.

VI Manilva ‘Corruco’ Road Race

The Dubliner bar opens in Sabinillas and brings with it the DOGS golf society A new addition to the restaurants and bars along the paseo in Sabanillas is The Dubliner Irish Bar and Restaurant. Following on from the success of the first Dubliner that opened in 2015 in Torreguadiaro, the gourmet Irish bar has recently opened next to the statue in the Paseo de Sabinillas.

A relaxed air-conditioned bar area is a perfect place to sit and watch sport on the huge HD TV screens.

If you prefer to people watch then you can sit outside on the terrace and gaze over the beach volley ball courts, out to the ocean.

The food at The Dubliner is not what you would expect from a traditional Irish pub. The beefy stews have been replaced with Tapas dishes for the less hungry and steaks for the more so.

Being an established Irish bar in

the Sotogrande area, most of the patrons are all golfing enthusiasts.

The DOGS will be organising future golfing events followed by a reception back at the bar. The next DOGS event will be taking place in August to coincide with the official opening evening of the Sabinillas Dubliner. Details to follow shortly on The Dubliner website and facebook page.

Manilva’s Athletics Club in collaboration with the Town Hall Sport Department has announced the date for the ‘VI Carrera Popular Corruco Race’ which will be held on Saturday 20 August from 7 pm.

There are a number of categories with the main race taking in some 6 kms through Sabinillas, Duquesa and Castillo.
