One man on ‘peace’ march to Gibraltar A NERJA resident has decided to step in to calm things down at the Gibraltar border. Justo Marquez will set out to walk the 193 kilometres to Gibraltar today (Thursday) carrying a wooden cross all the way. Once there he intends to call for the end of the current conflict

between the Spanish and Gibraltarian governments. Marquez, aged 50 and currently unemployed, intends to pray for 24 hours in front of the fence separating Gibraltar from Spain once he reaches his destination. The wooden cross he will be carrying is three metres long and

two metres wide with a weight of approximately 10 kilos. Marquez, who walked from Granada to Madrid on a protest march in 2009, will set forth on his journey alone, although he is confident more people will join him on his way to Gibraltar.

Farmers on mango theft alert FARMERS are calling for action to stop thieves stealing their crops. With the harvest of sub-tropical fruits like mangos already badly hit by severe winter and spring storms, they fear losing what is left of their crops to thieves. That is why the Young Farmers Association (ASAJA) has made an official request to the central government subdelegation in Malaga to protect the local farms. ASAJA has urged the authorities to set up a surveillance system around farms and distribution points, as

IN DANGER: Thieves are targeting the Axarquia well as transportation networks. The summer marks the beginning of the key season for sub-tropical producers in the

Axarquia area. As every year, the harvest season of the mango starts in the last week of August to go on until November.

That means it is a prime time for thieves to strike. Already this summer farmers have lost unripe fruit stolen for illegal sale to tourists, and that raised the alarm among the producers. According to ASAJA president Miguel Gutierrez, thieves are more active during the harvest season as they can cover up their actions easier due to the coming and going of people in the farms. Gutierrez has encouraged farmers to report any theft, however minor it would be.

Hidden gems of Malaga’s past

NEXT to a busy road and surrounded by a cement factory lies a one of a kind archaeological site. The Malaga Prehistoric Park, next to the E15 motorway, is gathering experts from fields that range from geology to anthropology as it reportedly has finds from the Copper Age to Medieval times. This, together with the remains found in the Nerja caves, would make scientists able to trace a chronological line comprising many eras instead of only one. Experts point to the site’s location as the key to its varied archaeological heritage. This location provided its inhabitants shelter even in times of glaciations, as well

Free land for new school RINCON DE LA VICTORIA is determined to get a new school. Now the town council says the regional government (Junta de Andalucia) has no excuses for not building one after it gave it a 9,500 m2 plot of land. It has given the land specifically to build a new high school in Torre de Benagalbon. This piece of land is bigger than the 5,000 square metres plot

initially announced earlier this summer. The council’s intention is to avoid space problems and build a school that would host the highest number of students possible, Education councillor Lydia Montes said. The last school year ended with protests by different parents associations asking for more places in the local schools.

“The regional government has no excuses now to ignore the parents’ petitions,” said Montes who also claimed she is still waiting for the Junta to accept the transferred site. Meanwhile, the Education department of the Junta de Andalucia ratified the construction of a new primary school in Torre de Benagalbon that will host 450 pupils aged between three and 12 years old.

MOTRIL animal shelter has found new homes for 391 pets since it opened its doors in November 2012, said Health and Consumers councillor Margarita Yanguas.

And while more in the 20 - 30 age bracket prefer to use their Smartphone cameras, the tendency is not exclusive among the young as 60 per cent of Spaniards aged over 40, now leave their camera at home.

Members of the 112 emergency service applied cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the victim, but to no avail. The man was aged 58 and originally from Jaen. Meanwhile, a British boy died in

The UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office says that many Britons abroad find themselves in trouble with the police or seriously hurt after drinking excessively.

Peer pressure is also a major factor, with 40 per cent of those surveyed saying they had felt pressure from friends to drink more than they wanted to.

Will Middleton, Consular Regional Director for Spain said: “Going on holiday is a great opportunity to relax and have fun with family and friends, and enjoying a drink can be part of that. “We’re not telling people to stop drinking but we do want people to be aware of the consequences of drinking to excess - and our research shows almost half of young people understand them already. “Drinking can impair judgement.

The town hall has decided to close the park area because of the possibility of a ‘large black cat’ roaming the area. Although the first sighting of the animal was a few weeks ago, the resident did not notify the police until recently in case they thought he was ‘crazy’. Agents have set up traps and night cameras in the area where the cat seems to patrol on a regular basis. They have retired from the area to leave it in peace in the hope of capturing it alive. So far a fox and an unfortunate domestic cat have been caught. Both were released unharmed. The mayor, Antonio Torres, has himself seen the animal.

Disaster that led to airline demise THE 2008 Madrid air disaster was decisive in the collapse of Spanair. After the accident in which 150 people

died, the airline lost around 20 per cent of its passengers and failed to win them back, found researchers from Sevilla and Castilla la Mancha universities. Passengers shun airlines after accidents they consider were caused by negligence, said Jose Ignacio Castillo, who led the investigation.

Flexibility call for contracts TIME could be running out for new open-ended work contracts. The time has come to start afresh and eradicate the duality of the labour market, said Juan Rosell, president of the Spanish Confederation of Business Organisations (CEOE). Workers on indefinite contracts need to lose some privileges, Rosell told an Onda Cero radio interviewer. There should be more temporary contracts although “thankfully” these now account for 90 per cent of those signed, he said. “Would permanent workers accept new conditions to benefit those on temporary

Living off fat of the land THE number of self-employed agricultural workers has tripled since 2007. In July 2007 there were 87,291 autonomous workers in the sector who were registered with the Social Security system. By July this year this had risen to 266,000, said the Federation of Professional, Self-Employed and Entrepreneurial Organisations (OPA). “The increase is closely linked to

finding self-employed work as a consequence of the present economic situation,” said OPA’s national president Camilo Abietar. “Many young people and those without jobs are taking refuge in the land as a way of surviving the crisis,” Abietar explained. Agriculture is recovering lost ground and contributes increasingly to the national Gross Domestic Product, he said, and OPA has done everything possible to help.

DEFUNCT: Spanair never recovered from deadly crash.

Yes - that’s right Jane Plunkett according to a new study men want women jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com to pick up the tab occasionally too. When it comes to romance and money, it seems some girls find themselves treading in hypocritical territory. They want to be considered equal in the work world. They expect the same salaries, promotions and treatment as men, yet WOMEN: Better to pay your share. when it comes to paying for a date they are happy to let the man pay. old-fashioned chivalry from 21st century Any such females looking for lasting love men is never going to lead to happy-evershould be warned however, that expecting after.

Modern men don’t want to pay for everything! The report reveals some interesting statistics bearing in mind that most females consider themselves part of Beyonce’s ‘Independent woman’ gang. A massive 84 per cent of men surveyed said that they paid for most dating expenses, 39 per cent of women admitted that they hoped men would not ask them to contribute, while 44 per cent of women were annoyed when men ‘expected’ women to pay. Despite the burning of bras and massive leaps in terms of equal rights for women and men, it seems that many women still expect men to pick up the bill when first dating. However the report does reveal that younger, college-educated women are more likely to offer to share the costs of dating. “It is a shared experience so it should be entirely shared, unless one partner is treating the other for a special occasion,” says one woman. Oh… and just for the record, 44 per cent of men said they would break it off with women who don’t offer to help pick up the tab. Does this explain why he didn’t reply to that message!

Change partners THERE were 43 bank mergers and takeovers in Spain since 2008, with four so far this year. In Europe only Russia, with 121 since 2008, had more.

Easy terms DEPARTMENT store El Corte Ingles reached a deal with Santander, BBVA, CaixBank, Sabadell, Banco Popular and Bankia to refinance 76 per cent of its €5 billion debt.

Hands up! CONSUMERS withdrawing cash from an ATM not belonging to their bank now pay an average charge of €3.50, which is up to twice as much as in 2008.

IT would seem that for many people heading off on holiday the excitement starts with a spot of retail therapy at the airport. And the Spanish are at the top of the queue along with the British and Germans when it comes to airport purchases. New research from Mintel market analysts, finds, for many, airport shopping marks the start of their holidays. Today, more than one in 10 (13 per cent) of European travellers look forward to shopping at airport shops, a figure which rises to almost one in five (18 per cent) of Britons and compares to 16 per cent of Germans, and 13 per cent of French and Spanish respectively. What is more, it seems like travellers simply can’t resist that last minute purchase, as many as 34 per cent of European fliers admit they have bought items in airport shops which they hadn’t planned to buy. And it seems like the Spanish are the most impulsive buyers, 65 per

RETAIL HOLIDAY: Travellers head for airport shops like this one in Madrid.

Captive customers make airport tills ring cent of them doing so, compared to 58 per cent of French and Germans, 57 per cent of Brits and 53 per cent of Italians. And while for the majority (58 per cent) shopping at airports remains a way to kill time before boarding a flight, airport stores could be much more than just that. Mintel’s research shows

that pre-booked collection and delivery services remain an untapped opportunity. Indeed, 19 per cent of European travellers would be interested in buying an item and picking it up on their return journey while 13 per cent would be interested in ordering an item at the airport and having it delivered to their destination.

Richard Perks, Director of Retail Research at Mintel, said: “People browse the shops because they have time to kill and, of course, that is good news for the retailers because it is likely to stimulate sales. “But there could be more to it than that. Airports should look to provide more pleasurable, potentially enriching activities. Lack of time is an issue, of course, and from the point of view of the airport operator, any space has to earn its way. But there should be scope for many more services.”

A beautiful deal as Revlon take over Colomer

SPANISH beauty care company The Colomer Group is being bought by industry giants Revlon in a $660 million (€495 million) deal. The cash deal is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Buying the family owned group will increase American cased Revlon’s penetration into the professional beauty salon market. Strategically Colomer complements Revlon, as it markets and sells professional products to salons and other professional channels under brands such as Revlon Professional hair care, which it currently licenses from the company under a longterm agreement. It also controls brands like Creative Nail professional nail polish, including its successful Shellac franchise.

Colomer also sells certain brands directly into retail channels, including Natural Honey body lotions and Llongueras hair care, and operates a multicultural hair-care business under the Crème of Nature brand. Approximately 50 per cent of its sales are in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with 40 per cent in the US, and the balance in the rest of the world. Lorenzo Delpani, Chief Executive Officer of Colomer said: “I am delighted that we are joining the Revlon family. My leadership team and the entire Colomer organisation are very proud of our accomplishments in building our business, and we look forward to working with Revlon and continuing the positive momentum of our company.”

Good news for Spain as exports are booming THERE was more good news for Spanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy as export growth boomed in June. Rajoy has stated that the country is ready to emerge from recession in the next six months after the tough, and unpopular, medicine of spending cuts and tax rises he administered. His policy of austerity to tackle huge deficits has been immensely unpopular. His claims that the medicine was working ‘but we haven’t seen the effects yet,’ particularly in labour market reforms, were greeted with scepticism. But latest figures, which reveal that exports rose 10.5 per cent in

June compared with the same period in 2012, show that Spanish manufacturers and the agricultural sector may be trading their way out of trouble. And with imports falling by 2.8 per cent from June 2012 the trade deficit was a very manageable €106 million. That looks extremely healthy compared to the €2.7 billion deficit in the same period last year. The Euro Weekly News has previously reported that reduced imports plus rising exports, with the car industry leading the way, led to Spain showing a trade surplus in March. That was the first time the country had shown a surplus in more than 40 years.

Signs needed to alert tourists of crime threat A BRITISH family of four renting a property near where we live have had their holiday ruined by thieves who stole the wife’s handbag while they were in a local restaurant. The handbag contained the family passports, spending money, credit cards plus flight documents. Fortunately some friends on holiday with them in a neighbouring property were able to assist by driving them to the British Consulate to help unravel and sort out the situation. But I find it shocking that: 1. The urbanisation office does not warn holidaying families of the danger of being robbed locally. 2. No warning signs are even erected at local markets, shops, supermarkets or on the beach. Many police forces throughout Europe put up posters - in English and other languages - highlighting the threat of street crime, so why not the Spanish. Posters in police stations and official offices are no-good... they need to be out in the public arena where they can be clearly seen. Margaret Kersen, Riviera del Sol (Malaga)

Rubbish service WHEN the tractors go out early in the morning on the beach of La Cala de Mijas (Malaga) with the ‘sifting’ machines, they don’t actually remove the rubbish they are supposed to. I go for my walks on the beach first thing by the water’s edge. These tractors ply up and down creating a dust cloud from the river sand with a view to removing the day before’s detritus and leave the surface level, clean and ready for another hoard of tourists. What actually happens is that these machines merely crawl along redistributing and burying the majority of the plastic and paper food wrappers and empty bottles. There are three tractors some days that work the beach, representing a €250,000 capital investment, not to mention three town hall salaries for the men that operate them. All just to brush the rubbish under the carpet ! Robert Caley (By email)

I have lived in Spain for five years and see the same untaxed vehicles week after week and they never leave Spain. What prompted my original letter was when I parked next to a car with a tax disc with an expiry date 09.05., almost eight years out of date. I don’t suppose the driver of that car bothered with trivial things like ITV, tax and insurance. Geoff Birds,Los Gallardos, (Almeria) Editor’s note: This correspondence is now closed.

True value AFTER Mijas Council awarded the contract for the removal of rubbish for recycling to a new company, our yellow ‘plastics’ bin was removed. We now have to share with the next door community. This is the result. Not a very good image to show the many tourists around at the moment!

parks in the town centre is one of the key reasons why people are going to other areas to shop. Why should people visit Torrevieja town centre when they can go to either the Habaneras or Zenia Boulevard Shopping Centre where there is ample free parking? Even in the off peak months there is a decided lack of free parking in the centre of Torrevieja. Compared with other holiday destinations along the southern Costa Blanca, Torrevieja has not invested in free, landscaped, attractive car parks for the scores of people visiting the beach. Until Torrevieja changes its policy on parking, the town centre will continue to lose shoppers, streets will continue to have kerb to kerb parked cars and visitors will go to locations where parking is free and easy.

Bad business AS he was driving home the DJ from my business saw two black sex workers trying to steal a phone from a man. He tried to stop them. He did not know there was a police car behind him. They stopped to look as the ‘prostitutes’ grabbed the guy’s phone and ran. My DJ said the police saw what he did, but they just laughed and drove on. The DJ then drove round to see if he could spot the sex workers. He didn’t, but he did see more ‘prostitutes’ hanging around the cash point. Are the police going around with blinkers on? We can see what is going on. We need to bring down Calvia Council (Mallorca) and the police. What goes on here should be exposed in the UK press and TV. It may lead to one or two years’ bad business, but what we do now is for the future of Mallorca. Paul Smith, (By email)

Last word IN reply to Julian Ward (Letters, Road Laws, Issue 1467) I think he missed my point about UK registered vehicles being driven in Spain. I have no problem with people who drive their cars over for extended stays, in fact I have a couple of friends who do just that, in

A BRITISH tourist was hospitalised after an assault by a taxi driver in Magaluf over a fare of no more than €5. The taxi driver said the male was drunk and could not pay the fare. So apparently he thought it better to punch him five times in the face instead of calling the police. The casualty was taken by ambulance to hospital and the police let the taxi driver continue on his way. Just when are the Spanish going to realise how important tourism is to them and start to look after what is of true value? Andrew Donald (By email)

Buy British! I READ with interest the list of football transfers written by Tony Matthews (Issue 1467). Of the 72 players listed, only six, or roughly 8 per cent, seem to be British, let alone English. That does not really help poor Roy Hodgson (England manager) with his selections. Needs of club before country. Thank you Tony. I really enjoy your copy. Harvey Appel, Sorbas, (Almeria)

Passport help I RECENTLY needed to renew my British passport. I used the company Easy Post in Benidorm after seeing their advert in the Euro Weekly News. I found them very helpful with all the correct forms and photo details. I can definitely recommend them. I have absolutely no connection with this company but think credit where it’s due John Alfas (By Email)

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT brings vast numbers of their comrades home in body bags, and once again achieves precisely nothing except heartbreak and sorrow. Such is my distrust of these Arab nations, and as beyond belief it may appear to Western ears, I would not put it past the ‘rebel’ forces to have gassed their own, in the opinion that to lose a few was a small price to pay to gain the sympathy of the West and bring in their support and military might. A kind of lesser of the two evils. I certainly believe there is a cause for reasonable doubt. With Russia and China on our side the whole Mid-East situation could be resolved virtually

overnight. Until this happens, independent interference by the rest of Europe and the USA will merely cause unrest, mistrust, and an ultimate danger of plunging the whole world back to the dark days of the cold war and the almost unthinkable disintegration of peace, leading to a conflict that will result in the end of society as we know it. Is that scenario really worth taking a chance on? Somehow I think not. Once again I reiterate. Let these people sort themselves out. As long as they are no threat to us, the consequences of ‘holier than thou,’ morally affronted interference from the West, is simply not worth it. To risk escalating the violence, which could ultimately deliver us into the hands of the dark forces of satanic evil, would be a betrayal of all our ancestors have fought and died for.

DOES it not create a shudder of deja vu to see weapons inspectors entering yet another Mid-East area of death and destruction? At the time of writing I have no idea what the outcome of this latest incursion into Syria will bring. What I am convinced of however is that the whole exercise is merely a delaying tactic to appease the public and allow the Obamas and Camerons of this world time to decide whether to commit to action or not. The last time the inspectors went in (to Iraq) they discovered nothing. Blair and Bush of course then decided to attack anyway. Years, and thousands of deaths later, the situation in Iraq has still not been resolved. Let us hope that the lessons have been learned and whatever these inspectors discover, without the backing of Russia and China we stay well out of it. Our ‘masters of war’ simply have no right to plunge our brave troops into yet another lost cause, that

A very warm welcome to the style high club FLYING can often leave skin looking tired and dry. While airlines have restrictions in terms of the types and quantity of products passengers can carry in hand luggage on board a plane, there are still some very simple things that can be done to look fresh faced when stepping off the plane. Firstly pull hair back and tie in a scarf and carry a small container of dry shampoo. This will help avoid hair from becoming oily and greasy during the flight. Be sure to carry a comb or a brush for a quick fix before leaving the plane. Purchase some premoistened eye pads, as flights can often leave eyes feeling dry and irritated. Use these during the flight to replenish moisture and pamper tired eyes. The same goes for skin; pack a travel size moisturiser and apply during the flight. This will prevent skin from

FRESH FACED: You can still look good after a flight by following a few simple steps. becoming dry and cracked. Try a night or repair cream for the face and cocoa-butter for hands legs and feet. Lastly pack a little make-up.

Mascara and a stick of concealer work best to hide blemishes or dark circles and make freshly replenished eyes look even brighter.

You should be aware when packing these types of products as they must comply with the required restrictions for carrying liquids.

Detoxing will feel better THE combination of work commitments and hectic social schedules can sometimes mean people don’t take the time to properly look after themselves. The result of this can often lead to health problems including trouble sleeping, feeling irritable and weight fluctuation. According to some health commentators the best way to combat these symptoms is with a simple detox. Detoxing should begin with removing certain foods from daily eating habits, including sugar, butter, dairy products, alcohol, raw food and saturated fats. The foods crucial for seeing and feeling the benefits of a detox are celery, onion, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, rocket, beetroot and leafy greens such as kale and spinach. It is also important to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water.
