Finance INADEQUATE: Two women were found living in this unofficial ‘care home’.

Elderly women ‘living in huts’ TOWN hall officials claim they found two elderly women living in wooden huts at an unofficial ‘care home.’

Mijas council has now reported the ‘care home’ for the elderly in the Valtocado area for being run with inadequate health and living conditions.

They reported the situation to the courts and the Junta de Andalucia Department of Health and Social Welfare. The discovery came following a call from the Costa del Sol Hospital to the Social Services, reporting their suspicions that an expatriate woman was living in unhygienic conditions.

Local Police, Social Services, firemen and members of the Urban Development and

Health departments visited the location.

They found two elderly Dutch women living in wooden huts on a plot where refuse of all kinds was stored. They believe the owners of the property were taking money for the women to allow them to live in the huts.

One of the women has returned home after the Dutch Embassy in Spain was contacted. The other was taken to a care home in Torremolinos, but reportedly returned to the hut in Valtocado.

A Junta de Andalucia Health and Social Welfare inspector attempted to visit the facilities following the report but found the property closed.

Red tape holds up city plans PLANS to make the streets surrounding Malaga Cathedral into a pedestrian area have been delayed by red tape.

The Junta de Andalucia and Malaga City Hall report there is €4.3 million set aside to carry out the project, which was due to be completed by April, 2014, but there is no sign of work starting any time soon.

This is because it can’t be put out

for public tender until Mayor, Francisco de la Torre, and Tourism Councillor, Rafael Rodriguez, sign the agreement by which work would start. But first they need the Junta to pay its 60 per cent share of the investment.

Meanwhile, inside the Cathedral, a storm is also brewing.

The Bishop, Jesus Catala, has suggested doing away with the shrine of the main altar in the

cathedral to make more space for all the priests when major celebrations are being held.

However, architects working on improvements to the cathedral and art historians, are totally against the suggestion and say that there are other ways to deal with the lack of space without having to move the shrine which they believe is part of the building’s identity.

Ancient remains are found in Mijas THE discovery of remains of a votive offering near the ramparts in Mijas suggests that there may have been a Phoenician-Punic temple in the town.

The temple may have been built in the area between the sixth and second centuries BC. Now the town hall has been given the go-ahead by the Junta de Andalucia Department for Culture to carry out further archaeological digs.

The remains which have been found are two bronze pieces representing eyes which were used in Punic temples representing an all-seeing God. If the theory is confirmed this would be the first temple of its kind found on the Costa del Sol. It is located 400 metres above sea level.

despite huge price cuts on some items, the sales have been slow this year.

Some stores report that while they saw more shoppers coming through their doors, on average they were spending less or nothing at all.

Others are happy to say that they have been able to get rid of stocks, but to do so, they have had to offer more significant reductions than in previous years.

In Malaga City, although the numbers of cruise ship passengers have been down, they have still given the area a much-needed boost. But shop owners report that they mainly spend their money in bars and restaurants and on culture and leisure activities and souvenirs, rather than on any other type of purchases.

While most are hoping to make a few more sales this weekend, they do not have high hopes that this will compensate for the rest of the season.

Blue shark spotted From front page Nature Protection Service (Seprona) were told what was thought to be a two-metre blue shark had been seen.

The Guardia Civil took a motor launch out to sea in order to frighten off the shark.

Although it was thought to have left the area, the beach was closed to swimmers yesterday (Wednesday) and the search continued.

Blue sharks are usually found in deeper waters, and feed mainly on squid and small fish, though they can go after larger prey.

Attacks on humans are rare. Up until last year there had only ever been 13 recorded attacks on humans, with four fatalities worldwide.

Police and paramedics performed CPR but nothing could be done.

A post mortem examination has been carried out and a judge is investigating the death, but the Guardia Civil said they were treating it as a “tragic accident.”

Apparently, the boy’s mother thought he was inside with his grandfather, who in turn thought he was in the pool with her.

She fell asleep, which is reportedly when the child went outside and fell in the pool.

The youth allegedly hit the girl with a three-litre

bottle of vodka he was carrying. He has been identified and is believed to be under 18.

The video shows how the girl goes after a group of youths, apparently due to a previous argument over a taxi, and one of them, despite his friends’ attempts to stop him, hits her with the bottle.

The girl remains in the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella.

Her father is offering a €2,000 reward for clues which lead to her attacker.

Youths stuck at home

THE eighth stage of the Tour of Spain cycling race will pass through Estepona on Saturday.

The competitors will leave from Jerez de la Frontera in Cadiz and ride 170 kilometres to the Peñas Blancas area of Estepona, more than 1,000 metres above sea level.

A new scenic viewpoint has been opened in the area, with a sculpture by Andres Montesanto.

The following day, the cyclists will leave from Antequera for the ninth stage of the tour which will be watched by cycling enthusiasts in more than 180 countries.

For those who wish to see the cyclists travelling through Estepona, they are due at the Guadalobon roundabout at around 2pm, via Avenida Litoral, through the marina, along Avenida de España, then Avenida de Andalucia to Avenida de los Reales and finally heading towards Peñas Blancas.

YOUTHS in Malaga have the most difficulties in Andalucia to get on the property ladder.

They would have to earn €2,094 net per month to afford to put 30 per cent of that amount into a mortgage for a first-time home, according to the Emancipation Observatory of the Youth Council in Spain.

With the average salaries received by workers aged between 16 and 29 in Malaga, they would have to pay 106 per cent of their income on a mortgage.

That means many keep living with their parents, often into their 30s.

If two people in a household are working, the percentage would be 67 per cent. In Andalucia, only 19.3 per cent of people under 30 can afford to live away from home.

RIGHT: The blaze left hundreds of people homeless.

Still waiting for help a year after Costa fires

By Sophie Elliott A YEAR on from the devastating blaze that destroyed 4,200 hectares of land on the Costa del Sol, victims are still waiting for promised aid.

Sue Doran, who lost her home and cherished family possessions, said she and husband Peter were led to believe they would be able to repair and rebuild their country home and would be notified within six months by the regional government on how to proceed.

But a year later - to the week they have heard nothing more.

Five thousand people had to flee their homes, and hundreds were left homeless. One man died in the fire that was finally extinguished by 600 firefighters and 31 aircraft.

Sue Doran told of the harrowing experience she and husband Peter endured having merely half an hour to evacuate their home after the blaze swept through forest and scrub land in Ojen, Alhaurin el Grande, Coin, Mijas and Marbella.

They managed to escape with their dogs and their passports, and little else.

She had lived for months with a kind stranger who offered her a bed until she was back on her feet, as reported in the EWN in December. the local community, they have not seen a penny of promised funds to help them rebuild their lives.

Sue told the EWN the local authority has been “useless” and they received nothing from the Fire Aid concert held at the Puerto

Romano hotel Marbella. They are living in rented accommodation.

Sue said: “We have got on with our lives as we are positive people and we knew that we couldn’t rely on anyone. We had to carry on regardless.

“I would never go back to live in the campo and cannot bring myself to see our ruined house.

The dream has been shattered.”

Sue says the only people willing to help were a ‘handful of friends’ and those involved in The Fire and Weather watch, Yvonne and Debbie, who provided them with clothing, towels and sheets. It is a Facebook group created by Jill Leonard as a result of the devastation created by last year’s fire.

Its purpose is to provide a central page for members of the public to post concerns regarding adverse weather, including fire, floods and gale force winds in Spain. The page aims to provide information to residents in Spain.

It now has 2,015 members.

The group currently has four pages; Granada, Murcia and Almeria, Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol.

Nine arrested for child’s shooting

NINE people were arrested in Calahonda, Mijas, for their involvement in a shooting in Sevilla in which a seven-year-old girl died.

Ten people have been arrested in total and nine have been remanded in prison.

The shooting took place in the Tres Mil Viviendas area of Sevilla, where the detainees, who belong to ‘Los Perla’ clan allegedly went to the home of ‘Los Mariano’ clan to demand an explanation for the kidnapping of a young man in May. They claim they were shot at and had no choice but to shoot back.

The girl of seven was inside the home with her parents who were also injured.

The shooting was initially thought to be over drugs debts.

More than a kilo of cocaine was seized during the arrests, as well as several guns.

Since the shooting, some of the homes belonging to ‘Los Perla’ have been ransacked, and four women were arrested, although the two families have avoided each other.

‘Los Mariano’ clan was involved in a shooting in the same area in 2009 in which a child also died.

Girls are behaving badly DOCTORS at Malaga University Hospital have warned of a rise in alcohol poisoning amongst young women.

During the Malaga ‘feria’ the hospital dealt with at least 15 cases per day in the Emergency Department of women between 16 and their early 20s who had drunk themselves into a coma.

Other hospitals and paramedics working at the ‘feria’ locations agree with these reports, saying that there are also many youths who use cocaine and other drugs.

All this, they warn, can lead to kidney, liver and brain problems.

STOPPED: Brother had been caught drunk driving.

Unfair driving A MAN was banned from driving for eight months because his brother pretended to be him when he was stopped by police.

In 2008, he was stopped in Manilva and ordered out of his car because a sentence issued in Mallorca the previous year banned him from driving.

knew nothing about, as he had never been to Mallorca or been caught drunk driving.

The aim is for ecological products to reach more people, rather than be sold only at special markets.

There are more than 33,330 hectares in Malaga province which are certified as ecological at a European level, because they respect nature.

The produce includes citrus fruits, subtropical fruits, oil and wine. The Farmers’ Association says that prices are higher than regular produce because of the special care which is required, but that some distributors put the prices up so much that the buyer ultimately pays up to 150 per cent more than the farmers receive for their goods.

THE stars were out for Sala Beach’s much anticipated summer party.

An array of beautiful people and celebrity guests enjoyed the bash at the boutique beach bar near Puerto Banus.

They celebrated in style with DJ performances from Mark E Strut and celebrity appearances from London MC Kano and the casts of The Only Way is Essex and Geordie Shore reality TV shows. The venue is stunning.

The Thai-inspired bar has crystal clear views of the Mediterranean sea.

The entire area is designed to be the ideal ‘place to be’ with a central bar, hot tub area and big white luxurious sun beds. Just the setting for a sea of hot bikini bodies and toned torsos.

Entertained by professional dancers, the partygoers danced and mingled together.

Celebrities or not, everyone seemed to just want to party and have a good time.

Scotty T. from Geordie Shore was making the most of some Spanish fun in the sun with a group of friends known as ‘the lads’ including The Only Way is Essex stars Joey Essex and James ‘Arg’ Argent.

The lads were really enjoying themselves with a drink in one hand and ever a gorgeous girl wanting

to have her photo taken with them; Scotty T. said they “were ’avin’ a great time!”

An appearance was also made by British grime and hip-hop legend Kano who had performed alongside Chipmunk and Lethal Bizzle the night before at Puerto Banus club, Aqwa Mist.

Kano told us he was there enjoying a few “drinks and laughs” among friends.

To accompany poolside cocktails Sala Beach also offered a reduced version of the standard a la carte menu made available all day at the pool and restaurant areas for guests to enjoy.

The event began at noon and partygoers remained until the finish at 10pm before continuing on to nightclub Aqwa Mist for the after-party.

Since its inauguration in 2008, Sala Beach has become renowned for its celebrity appeal with previous visitors including Tinie Tempah, Ne-Yo, Manchester United’s Danny Welbeck, Stacey Soloman, Manchester City and Spain’s David Silva, Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and many more.

THE hunt is on for a black panther spotted in Almeria.

Residents of the town of Berja are sleeping with one eye open after a member of the public notified police of the presence of what could be a ‘large black panther’ in the Castala natural park.

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. He said: “I have seen it and I wouldn’t like to meet it face to face. We are probably talking about a panther that someone had as a pet and decided to let loose.”

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.

EVERYTHING’S going fantastic. There have been a few romantic dinners, a cheesy movie and a coffee date or two.

He seems keen and she is equally as willing to give a relationship a go.

But suddenly he falls off the radar. No more calls and he doesn’t respond to any of her What’s App messages.

What happened?

Chances are he got sick and tired of forking out for all the fun and A look games, while she kept at finance her wallet tightly snug for females in her handbag.

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!

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 !

taxed and tested cars.

What I object to is the vehicles that are being driven here illegally. 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?

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.

I found them very helpful with all the correct forms and photo details.

I can definitely recommend them.

Big time battle Small businesses are now fighting to survive

AUGUST is boom time for many hotels in the tourist hot spots, but for some small businesses all-inclusive holiday deals and increasing local crime are making life very tough, as one bar owner told EWN Special Correspondent David Anderson.

N

ICK SHORT first arrived in Mallorca in 1986 as a teenager when his parents went into a bar business.

After working hard to become established on the island, Nick eventually bought a house and ran two bars himself.

When business boomed he took on 16 staff on fulltime contracts.

But for Nick and his wife Tina, those days are gone.

Now after nearly 30 years on the island, he runs just one bar - the Dolphin Cafe in Sa Coma - with one staff member.

With more all-inclusive hotels springing up locally there are fewer visitors spending less away from their accommodation.

And crime is on the increase.

And it is the same story in many of the most popular Spanish resorts, meaning the small businesses have an increasingly big fight on their hands.

“The problem will never get better until the town halls take control of the way hotels run everything,” said Nick.

“They should fix things for the long term and not just for the short. When I came here all those years ago, all the police had to do was to give out parking tickets and not much more.

Now they have to be the

busiest people here.”

With crime increasing in some areas, Nick likened what is happening in some tourist spots to the problem of the Caribbean where some people are afraid to walk down the road because of the risk of being mugged or worse.

“In five years time if nothing is done many small businesses will be closed and the roads will empty.

All the tourists will stay in their hotels because it will be unsafe to walk around,” he warned.

To back up his claims, 43year-old Nick said that even now in Sa Coma the streets are almost empty after 11pm for fear of crime.

“I know of at least seven friends who have had money and purses stolen from them in the local supermarket and in local bars” On the all-inclusive deals Nick said: “We have had British tourists come into our bar saying they came for two weeks and brought only 50 pounds (€58.50) because they are all inclusive.

“That means everything is provided at the hotel... all their meals and all their drinks ... so they do not venture out.

“They didn't even know where the beach was, so how can any small business make any kind of living.”

research shows almost half of young people understand them already.

“Drinking can impair judgement. The effect of being hospitalised or arrested overseas goes far beyond a ruined holiday and can have a devastating impact on family and friends.

“So our message is have fun in the sun, but drink responsibly so you don’t put yourself at risk of harm.” One example of what can happen is the story of Jake, who fell from a balcony after a night out with friends.

His moving video story can be seen on www.youtube.com/watch ?v=hhxqyPUyiTs. Top tips to ensure alcohol doesn’t ruin your night out or even your whole holiday: • Remember tolerance to alcohol may change in the heat and bars in Spain often serve larger measures than in the UK. It is worth alternating your drinks with water or soft drinks.

• Protect your drink - to avoid the risk of your drink being spiked, keep an eye on it at all times and don’t accept drinks from strangers unless you see them being poured at the bar.

• Stay close to your friends - if you are drinking with friends, look out for each other. If they seem drunk or act out of the ordinary, make sure you get them home safely. Never let a friend go home alone or with someone they don’t know.

Drink respectfully - this includes showing respect and consideration to other holidaymakers and local people while on holiday.

Don’t let drink do your talking HOLIDAYMAKERS are being urged to think before they drink too much when in Spain.

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.

Now it is asking expatriates to pass on to visiting friends and relatives the message : “On holiday, don’t let drink do your talking.”

It is encouraging young holidaymakers to think before and while they drink to avoid putting themselves at risk of serious harm and ending up in hospital, jail or even worse.

New research shows that around half (51 per cent) of 16-24 year olds say they are likely to drink more on holiday than at home. Almost two thirds (62 per cent) attributed this to alcohol being cheaper. 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.

Consular staff in Spain have already been called on this summer to come to the aid of British nationals who find themselves in trouble after drinking to excess.

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

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.

We must stay out of futile conflicts 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

Keeping clear of kickbacks mire

O

NE political figure has not allowed her skirts to brush the mire of government contracts, kickbacks and party funding revealed by Luis Barcenas.

Stand up vice-president Soraya Saenz de Santamaria. Hers is the only name not mentioned in the daily drip from the polluted tap opened by the former PP treasurer opened last January.

Cornered when his Swiss bank accounts came to light, Barcenas has struck out wherever and whenever he can, laying bare what he claims is the party’s own financial skullduggery.

Cassandra Nash

A weekly look and not entirely impartial reaction – to the Spanish political scene

If he could hurt Mariano Rajoy through his vice-president he would. That he has not yet harmed Saenz de Santamaria is the best political recommendation she could ask for.

Spare a thought for Spanish women whose names exactly match those of their compatriots wanted in Peru on drugs’ charges.

Several Spanish tourists have languished in Peruvian jails while Interior ministries half-heartedly tried to extricate themselves and the victims from the snarl of paperwork. And they weren’t carrying cocaine.

DRUGS: Not a good idea.

It had nothing to do with me, guv DOLORES DE COSPEDAL made her expected statement to judge Pablo Ruz, investigating the Gurtel and Barcenas cases.

Although she is PP secretary general she had nothing to do with the arrangement whereby sacked Luis Barcenas - whom she is known to dislike - continued to be paid, De Cospedal said.

That decision belonged to Mariano Rajoy

and Javier Arenas, PP grandee and vice-secretary general. Opprobrium has rained down on her since then for landing Rajoy and Arenas in the fertiliser and saving her own skin. Presumably her critics would have preferred her to dissemble and add one more to the pack of lies already heard regarding Barcenas.

JAVIER ARENAS: Vice-secretary general.

As summer hea

A

Costa del Sol s another holiday season draws towards a close our team of reporters joined holidaymakers on the beaches.

Their mission? To see how much prices varied around the regions of Spain for a day by the sea.

And there were some huge differences, from €5 for two sunbeds and a parasol in Almeria, to €45 in Mallorca. But stay in Mallorca and beachgoers could find a small beer for just €1, the cheapest we found on a beach in Spain.

PRICE varies depending on the level of luxury wanted. We did not include prices from the top ‘celebrity’ beach bars in some of the more exclusive parts of Marbella where prices can be €150 a day for an enormous ‘sunbed’ including luxury service. A jug of Sangria can set you back €55 and magnums of Champagne up to €2,445.

A day out could cost hundreds if not thousands of euros, but they are the places to be seen rubbing shoulders with celebrities.

Instead we looked at more down to earth beach bars, but even their prices varied.

att hits, life’s a beach Almeria

Axarquia

AUGUST is the month when most Spaniards take their holidays, and for those who head for the Almeria coast from the cities it may well be a pleasant surprise to see the prices in the chiringuitos and bars that line the coast.

Whether it is the economic crisis, or the bars and restaurants vying for the passing trade, prices are more competitive than ever, offering good deals to entice customers into spending their holiday money.

At this peak time of year, when many bars rely on the summer months to get them through the winter period, locals and holidaymakers from all over Europe can still find affordable prices and enjoy a meal and leisure activities without breaking the bank.

Mallorca

THE Axarquia’s many hidden gems of beaches offer a more natural experience than the more developed tourist hotspots of the neighbouring Costa del Sol. But local councils have made a big effort to improve facilities at local town beaches. Prices generally did not vary too much, but some beaches offered ‘bargain’ prices compared to some other areas of Spain.

Costa Blanca

IT depends entirely where you stay in Mallorca. Up north, Can Picafort can be quite reasonable, even though quite sought after, down south, a complete mix.

Mallorca has a lot of new exclusive beach club style places springing up that are pricey for sunbed hire, drinks etc but they are the place to be seen by tourists and residents, whereas somewhere like Cala Bona or Cala Mayor, the beaches are really lovely and the value for money is unbeatable and still the customer service is second to none.

EWN also found during research, services and bars/restaurants offered at nudist beaches were considerably higher than those of their local counterparts.

FOR water sports on the Costa Blanca we found a company in La Manga offering the cheapest jet ski rental at €60 for half an hour which can hold two passengers.

However, there is no need to compare prices if visiting beaches along the Orihuela Costa from Mil Palmeras to Torrevieja as the same company do all the jet ski and pedalo hire with prices the same across all the beaches.

Local beaches also offer good value in terms of facilities, we didn't find any that charged for parking or toilets.

Now London visit for Picardo CHIEF MINISTER, Fabian Picardo, has travelled to London to hold meetings with Prime Minister, David Cameron and Foreign Secretary William Hague.

These meetings will enable Mr Picardo to discuss a number of important matters, in particular the current conflict with the Spanish authorities at the Gibraltar frontier and the statements from senior Spanish politicians threatening further measures against Gibraltar.

During the Chief Minister’s stay in London he will also hold further meetings with senior Whitehall officials on a wide range of issues.

The Minister for Financial Services and Gaming, Albert Isola, will accompany the Chief Minister for working sessions at the Treasury.

During Mr Picardo’s absence from the Rock (and given that the Deputy Chief Minister is presently away on annual leave) Minister for Justice, Education and Telecommunications, Gilbert Licudi, will act as Chief Minister.

Record-breaking year for the Cardboard Boat Race THE fifth edition of Gibraltar’s Charity Cardboard Boat Race took place in Ocean Village marina and earned itself recordbreaking status.

Buoyed by the presence of TV cameras from Channel 5 and Gibraltar’s GBC, the entrants, and the crowds, came out in force.

Sandra Lamplough, spokesperson for Ocean Village, said: “This year 14 boats took to the water, almost double that of 2012, and spectators had to jostle for space to get a vantage point on the action.

Knowing the cameras were on them, extra effort clearly went into boat building this year.”

Miss Gibraltar 2013,

Maroua Kharbouch, was there to start the races and give out the prizes.

The event, organised by the William Tilley Lodge and Global Events Manage-

ment, raised well over £1,000 in proceeds for charity.

CARDBOARD BOATS: There were almost double the amount of boats this year.

‘George Cross’ campaign launched A CAMPAIGN called ‘Thumbs Up for Gibraltar’ has been launched to generate support to call on David Cameron to award the George Cross to the People of Gibraltar.

The campaign has been launched by Gibraltar’s Human & Civil Rights organisation, Equality Rights Group, in partnership with Plymouth & South West England Friends of Gibraltar Group.

It aims to generate public support throughout the SW of England to award the People of Gibraltar the George Cross in the same way that, in its day, it was awarded to Malta for heroism.

Plymouth-based Kevin

THUMBS UP: Kevin Kelway (centre) is based in Plymouth.

Kelway, who represents the Friends of Gibraltar group in the region, said “Plymouth and Gibraltar are soul mates! Our history unites us.

“As does our sense of Britishness. That is why we have partnered with Equality Rights Group to consolidate support for the Rock in Britain.”

ERG Chairman, Felix Alvarez commented that “it is expected that not only MPs, but also MEPs from the region and beyond will support and sponsor moves to support Gibraltar.

A number have already indicated their willingness.

On the other hand, ERG has already written to Prime Minister David Cameron, Secretary of

State William Hague and Europe Minister David Lidington to reinforce the work the two groups are jointly undertaking.

“We have also advised the Government of Gibraltar directly and Gibraltar House in London.”

Alvarez and Kelway said: “The People of Gibraltar’s resolute defence and firm fortitude in the face of difficulty in relation to Spain merits high recognition from Her Majesty’s Government.

“And we will jointly work to achieve it!”

THERE is what some may call “peculiar legislation” in practice in various parts of the globe. However despite how odd some of these rulings might be, they do provide a unique insight into the nature of the societies in which they are enforced.

Here are some of the weirder laws in existence around the world:

1 In Louisiana, USA a law exists against the theft of alligators. The law even specifies what precise body parts on an alligator are protected. The maximum penalty for stealing an alligator includes a 10 year prison sentence and a $3,000 (€2,246) fine.

2 In

Israel, pig farming is against the law, believed to have stemmed from the country’s predominantly Jewish population whose religion states that as pigs do not chew their cud, they are not fit for consumption. However pig farming for medical purposes is legal and should there be an excess of pigs, these can be sold for consumption.

Emergency supplies to think about What five individual items would you pack in a pre-prepared ‘Go-bag’ to take if ever faced with an emergency (fire, tsunami, IT’S not something that often crosses the mind unless an emergency actually occurs, what to take?

Showing love shines through on the Costa Blanca, Norwegian Unni Kvam, aged 68, retired and now living in Torrevieja, struggled to think of five things to pack in a pre-prepared ‘go bag.’ The only thing she would want was her husband Kiell: “My husband is the most important thing to me and I think people get too hung up on material possessions. When we die we don’t take it with us do we,” she said.

However on the Costa del Sol, Gordon Naylor, a retired fireman who lives in Alhaurin el Grande had a really good think about what he would take.

Eventually with help from his daughter and son-in-law Gordon decided on practical items including “a torch, a lighter, a first aid kit, and an axe and mobile phone.” These he said were his final choice as they are “essential

really hard, I’d be very practical and have things like food, water, toothbrush and toothpaste, soap and shampoo all ready to go. But then I also couldn’t live without my iPhone and hair straighteners and I’d want my photos with me.”

Another point of view was to take things of sentimental value.

“I would take only things that mean something to me, photo-

graphs, presents or items of sentimental value. Everything else can be replaced easily excepting memories,” said Michael Everitt from Gloucestershire. He moved to Spain a few years ago when his home in Britain was flooded and he lost several valuable sentimental items including photos.

Josh Lovatt, 25, said he had spent lots of time deciding on what he would do in the case of a disaster. “Natural disasters are becoming more of a regular occurrence every day, so you have to be prepared,” he said.

Josh has an entire plan of action should something happen to him. He would plan to take, “a bag of fertile soil, seeds and water to be self sufficient in growing your own food” along with “a stationery set to write letters.

Mobile phones run out of battery, but you can ration what you write down” and finally “a trained pigeon, this way you have all the necessary items for survival and communication.”

Granny really does know best GRANNY is right. Fruit really did taste better in the old days.

That is according to a study in Japan, which states that fruit used to taste better than it does now.

Research carried out by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organisation of Japan reveals that taste and textural attributes of apples have changed as a result of global warming. Previous studies have shown how climate change has had an impact on the alteration of the harvest season.

But this is the first time a study has made a conclusive connection between the effects the change in temperature have on the flavour of fruit, say Japanese researchers.

75

In records kept for 40 years, research found decreases in acid concentration, fruit firmness and watercore development in the apples produced in two different regions of Japan. This translates into a change of flavour that goes beyond personal perceptions or memories and according to the study can be applied to any fruit.

These effects, the study adds, are difficult to identify in agricultural statistics due to the influence of nonclimate factors including the use of fertilisers and pesticides.The research concludes that apples experience longterm changes, so we could be telling our children how apples used to taste better in 20 years time!

There are many reasons cucumbers are so healthy, the main being they contain 95 per cent water. That means eating cucumber ensures the body remains hydrated. These watery vegetables also contain most of the body’s required daily vitamins, including vitamin C found in the skin.

Cucumber has various health and beauty uses; the skin of cucumber can be used to treat skin irritations or burns in the same way as aloe vera.

Also rings of cucumber are commonly used in beauty treatments to combat tired or puffy eyes. The silicon and sulfur content in cucumber can also be used to help stimulate hair growth.

BERT played his last League game for the Blues against Preston North End at Deepdale in March 1964 and soon after his testimonial

match, when 47,901 fans turned out to ‘say thank you and goodbye,’ he chose to quit Maine Road and returned to his first club, St Helens, while also

Later briefly associated with Wellington Town, he quit playing in May 1965 to become administration/general manager of Stockport County before returning to his homeland to manage Preusen Munster and then Opel Russelheim.

Also, at various times, he coached and trained footballers in Burma, Tanzania, Liberia, Pakistan and Yemen.

Bert pulled the plug on

football in 2000 and 10 years ago chose to come and live here in Spain.

He enjoyed travelling, being a peerless ambassador for international reconciliation.

The recipient of an OBE, awarded for his tireless work for improving Anglo-German relations, the former goalkeeper-supreme, said last year: “Travelling was the best education; it teached tolerance and understanding.

“The importance of

these can never be underestimated. And we never, ever want another World War. It must never happen - absolutely not.”

After enjoying a ‘sunny’ and ‘happy’ retirement, with his third wife Marlis on the Spanish coast near Valencia, Bert followed the fortunes of Manchester City right up until his death, on 19 July of this year, at the age of 89.

• Born in Bremen Germany, on October 22, 1923. Died La Llosa, Valencia, Spain, July19, 2013.

• He was FWA Footballer of the Year in 1956.

• Honoured by the Germans with five medals including the Iron Cross in the war.

• Awarded Order of Merit by Federal Republic of Germany in 1997.

• Awarded an honorary OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2004.

• He was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame.

• Played 592 league and cup matches between 1948 and 1965, the majority in the First Division.

• Won the FA Cup in 1956, despite playing on after breaking his neck.

WNING a property in Spain comes with responsibilities, just like anywhere else, a few well spent minutes now could save an owner hours, days or even weeks later on.

Many foreign property owners come over to Spain at this time of the year to relax and enjoy their holiday home but besides sun, sea and sangria this is also a good opportunity to call into the community administration office and just make sure everything is in order.

The first important point to check is that the community administrators have a good contact address that is up to date and accurate. According to article 9 of the Law of Horizontal Property - the law that governs all property in Spain - owners are required to provide their administrator with a valid address, where all the correspondence concerning their property can be sent.

If no such ‘official’ address is provided, then regardless of whether anyone lives at a property or not, that is where all the correspondence will be sent. Steadily forming a multi-coloured mail mountain of flyers, bills and official letters waiting until the owner arrives.

There are two easy ways to prevent this from happening, either have someone regularly check and forward the mail or just better still, call into the community administration office, ensure that your contact details are correct and as is more usual these days, provide the administration with an email address to receive all community correspondence directly.

In a serious situation such as the notification of a forthcoming court procedure then an owner could be wholly unaware that a court case has been instigated and therefore unable to make the appropriate response, which in turn, could have no end of consequences, from fines and embargoes to demolition orders.

Bienvenidos! €500,000 fee payable for an EU citizenship

Government’s approach to current real estate crisis IT is not like that... although that is what can be read between lines.

It is likely that this September, the Spanish Government will enforce a law by which Spanish permanent residency will be granted to those nonEuropean property investors acquiring Spanish properties worth more than €500,000.

The direct consequence of this would be to be allowed to freely move within all of the Schengen countries (26 countries at present).

According to the important real estate agencies, prospects are likely from India, China

SPANISH RESIDENCY: Lawyers say it will be easier. and America.

But what does make Spanish residency so attractive to them that they decide to invest huge amounts of money in our country rather than in Portugal or Cyprus?

The coming law will make residency procedures easier.

Also, lifestyle and educational reasons may be involved.

Nonetheless, generally speaking, the perception of Portugal is that of a poorer country (at least if compared with Spain) and Cyprus’s credibility is at stake.

Hopefully, if the process of this law runs

smoothly, the Spanish real estate sector will be positively affected and thus improve macro economical factors.

But, which are the fortunate destinations where money will be invested?

As usual, fancy destinations such as Madrid, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca will be the ones to mainly benefit.

Also, in the Andalucia region, Marbella is likely to be one of those fortunate destinations.

Its high net worth profile property owners will attract international investors.

As the saying states...

“Money calls money, doesn’t it?”

You should bear in mind that this law has been enacted by the Spanish Congress of Deputies (the lower house of the Spanish Parliament) and remains pending of the Spanish Senate’s decision (the upper house of the Spanish Parliament).

Rob Edmond endorses Beach Fit Marbella’s passion and team spirit “A GREAT concept, Glenn, Henriette and the guys are really passionate about what they do at Beach Fit Marbella.

They provide good solid training in an excellent environment with a fantastic ethic and sense of team spirit.”

“A beach isn’t just for sunbathing... it provides an excellent environment to train on. I often take clients for beach training. The soft sand provides extra resistance and is low impact. It is hard to run on but that’s what makes it great.

“You can also do lots of explosive moves which aid your fitness without worrying about impact on you or the object you might be throwing.

“When you combine the training with a bit of sea work, it adds another dimension, such as running intervals in ankle deep water. Getting away from all that air-con into the fresh sea air does your sinuses and lungs good too.”

“Whether you want to use it as your sole route to fitness or add it into your current regime, Beach Fit Marbella is worth looking at.

SOLID TRAINING: The soft sand of the beach provides an excellent environment for your fitness regime.

Beach Fit Marbella has persuaded Rob to put on one of his special tours of La Concha for them.

If you interested in this mini-adventure on September 28, get in touch with Glenn on 617 929 712 for details. It is €50 per person to join.

New technologies are driving Range Rover forward

WORLD FIRST: Nine speed automatic transmission.

THE Range Rover Evoque makes a further leap forward with the introduction of a host of new technologies.

Customers ordering vehicles from the 2014 range, to go on sale in October, will benefit from newly-available features including a new nine speed automatic transmission and new driveline technologies.

The prices are yet to be confirmed.

First shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the ZF9HP automatic transmission is among the world’s first nine speed units fitted to a passenger car according to the manufacturer. With a wide spread of ratios and improved efficiency, the new transmission delivers improved economy, reduced emissions, enhanced performance and greater comfort, claim Range Rover.

Available as an option, Active Driveline monitors vehicle dynamics and automatically reconnects four-wheel drive (within 300 milliseconds) whenever it is needed. It also features Active Torque Biasing with electronic-Diff (e-Diff) technology to distribute torque

between the rear wheels, optimising traction and stability.

With the nine speed automatic transmission and Active Driveline combined, fuel economy is improved by up to 11.4 per cent and CO2 emissions are reduced by as much as 9.5 per cent.

For the 2014 model, the driver assistance capabilities of Evoque are enhanced by the introduction of features including Park Exit (to automatically exit parallel parking bays), Perpendicular Park (to position the car centrally in parking bays), Closing Vehicle Sensing and Reverse Traffic Detection (to warn drivers of oncoming traffic), Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition and Wade Sensing.

The Evoque have available as an option Land Rover’s InControlTM Remote and InControlTM Secure.

Land Rover InControlTM Remote allows owners to trigger an SOS Emergency Call if in an accident, the Land Rover InControlTM Secure tracks the vehicle in the event of a theft using advanced tracking technology.

The 2014 Evoque continues to be powered by Land Rover’s range of economical and light weight four-cylinder engines with a choice of either the 2.2 diesel 150PS engine, 2.2 diesel 190PS engine or 2.0 Petrol 240PS engine.

29 August - 4 September 2013 Costa del Sol

www.euroweeklynews.com EXPRESSIVE: The A8 design has been further polished.

Now Audi’s flagship car is even better AUDI has given its flagship, the A8, a wide-sweeping update.

The new A8 aims to place Audi among the innovation leaders in the luxury segment with its lightweight construction and a body made almost entirely of aluminum; an

Audi Space Frame (ASF) design that only weighs 231 kilos.

Length, width, wheelbase, and height remain unchanged in the new Audi A8, whereas additional noise damping measures reduce the low interior noise level even further.

The design of the big sedan has become more expressive.

The engine hood, the single frame grille and the front bumper are even more sculptured.

Audi offer the A8 on market with two petrol and two diesel engines.

These are the supercharged 3.0 TFSI with 228 kW (310 hp), the V8 twin-turbo 4.0 TFSI with 320 kW (435 hp), the highly efficient 3.0 TDI clean diesel with 190 kW (258 hp) and the extremely high-torque 4.2 TDI clean diesel, which produces 283 kW (385 hp) and 850 Nm (626.93 lb-ft).

These variants are joined by three additional models.

The top-of-the-line model is the luxuriously equipped Audi A8 L W12 quattro.

The new Audi A8 can be bought from September and is scheduled to arrive in Spain in November.

Prices start at €85,300.

Hyundai has launched new Elantra HYUNDAI Motor Company officially launched the facelifted Elantra in the Korean market.

Aiming to further strengthen its presence in one of the world’s most competitive segments, the company brought back the new Elantra with a refreshed design and improved product features.

The new Elantra will hit the Spanish market in 2014.

Prices are to be confirmed.

The facelifted Elantra, badged as Avante in the Korean market, features an overall length of 4,550mm, which is 20mm longer than the previous one, while its wheelbase remains the same.

The newly-designed front bumper, radiator grille, fog lamps, as well as adoption of LED light guide and projection headlamps

add a dynamic, hightech feel to the Elantra, say the manufacturers.

When seen from the side, the redesigned 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels and chrome moulding on its belt line accentuate the Elantra’s image.

Interior design elements were modified with the aim of improving usability, reflecting feedback from customers of the previous Elantra, say the manufacturers.

The new Elantra also comes equipped with high-tech convenience features such as advanced SPAS (Smart Parking Assist System) and flex steer.

In particular, a diesel version was added to its line-up to respond to the growing popularity of the diesel engine in the Korean market.

Equipped with the 1.6 litre diesel engine, the new Elantra offers a high fuel economy of 18.5km/L (MT) and 16.2km/L (AT), while delivering maximum horse power of 128ps and maximum torque of 28.5kg•m (AT).

Moreover, Hyundai Motor’s advanced ISG (Idle Stop & Go) system is adopted on the diesel model with auto transmission.

Golf Boo(ming) In June I had the pleasure of attending the launch party of an innovative online golf portal, Golf Boo, at their spacious offices within the club house at Marbella Golf & Country Club. The concept is simple, ‘Rating the Golf World’ and it should benefit clients, golf courses and tour operators alike with golfers rating each course he or she has played and,

importantly to travel agencies and TO’s, being able to check out the very best stay and play offers.

For example, currently Golf Leisure Breaks has nearly two hundred of its very best packages uploaded throughout Europe for golfers to peruse. The concept is the brainchild of two gentlemen with many years’ industry experience between them: Antonio Conde

Malaga goalkeeper Willy Caballero to save comfortably.

Malaga boss Bernd Schuster’s 4-5-1 formation appeared to frustrate the Catalans and the Costa del Sol side came close to scoring on the half-hour mark, Victor Valdes forced to turn Vitorino Antunes’ freekick around a post.

However, Barcelona did manage to get their noses in front on the stroke of half-time when Adriano picked up an Alexis Sanchez’s pass and surprised Caballero with a shot from the edge of the box that found the far corner.

In the second half, Fabrice Olinga almost equalised for Malaga after

Malaga’s Schuster bemoans bad luck MALAGA’S German coach Bernd Schuster is hoping for better luck for Sunday’s game away to local rivals Sevilla (kick off 9pm) Speaking after the loss of their first two games of the season he said: “I think we deserved a draw in both matches. However we’ll take away the positives from both games and I’m sure we’ll be more fortunate in future matches. We’re determined to get even stronger now, and we’ve all got a winning mentality.”
