MALAGA’S economy is about to improve.

It is beginning ‘a cycle of change,’ announced a survey carried out for the Unicaja group. The adjustment phase is ending and the GDP will increase by 1 per cent for both Malaga and the region in 2014.

Economic activity fell by 1.3 per cent in

Malaga during the second quarter of 2013 but this was four points below the region’s 1.7 per cent average.

The analysts foresee an overall annual fall of 0.9 per cent in productivity but again this is four points below the regional average and three less than Spain’s.

Letters MIJAS: Waiting for government cash to get started.

Red tape hold-up for Mijas works IMPROVEMENTS scheduled for Mijas Old Town have been halted by red tape.

The €4.85 million cost was to be covered by a loan from Plan Qualifica, the consortium of eight Costa del Sol towns to which Mijas belongs. The revamp had counted on cash from FOMIT, the state fund for modernising tourist infrastructure.

Instead, bureaucracy has reared its head.

The Plan Qualifica’s terms of agreement were signed in 2009 with the intention of obtaining €25 million to fund different

projects. Nevertheless, this agreement was never formally agreed by either the central or regional government. In the intervening four years, the economic situation has worsened.

Mijas Town Hall has €1.4 million at its disposal to finance part of the project but there is no sign that the remainder will be provided by the central and regional administrations. Work scheduled for November cannot begin and no new date has been put forward.

XCITEMENT is mounting as filming of the latest Hollywood blockbuster to be shot in Spain was due to start this week.

Sir Ridley Scott’s biblical epic Exodus is being shot in Almeria from now until mid-November.

Several auditions have been held in the province to find thousands of people who will take part as extras.

They will mainly be used for filming on the sets which have been built in Sierra Alhamilla and the Macael quarry, famous for its marble. A further 500 people have been hired in the province. Rumour has it that one of the stars of the show, Sigourney Weaver, will not be coming to Almeria, as the scenes she is in are going to be shot in London. Despite this, Almeria won’t miss out on seeing some famous faces including Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, Aaron Paul, John Turturro and Ben Kingsley.

Terrorist freed by European human rights court THE European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has revoked the so-called ‘Parot doctrine’, which allowed the extension of prison sentences for terrorists.

The doctrine said the time reduced from a prison sentence for good behaviour should be taken away from a prisoner’s total sentence, and not the 30-year limit as stated by Spanish Law. The ECHR considers the doctrine, named

after the first ETA terrorist prisoner it was applied to, Henry Parot, is a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The court’s decision comes after ETA terrorist group member Ines del Rio Prada lodged an application in 2009 complaining about an extension to her prison sentence.

Del Rio, who was serving a 3,800-year prison sentence linked to terrorist attacks, carried out between 1982 and 1987, was due

to be released in July 2008.

However, her release was postponed for nine years in application of the ‘Parot doctrine’ to June 2017. Now the Spanish Government has released Del Rio following the Strasbourgbased court’s ruling, which has also ordered that she be given €30,000 compensation.

Members of the Spanish Government have claimed they respect the ECHR’s ruling, although they disagree with it.

100s flock to Primark HUNDREDS of people gathered outside the doors of the new Primark store in the Miramar shopping centre in Fuengirola awaiting its opening.

At midday, the doors opened and shoppers literally ran into the 3,000-square-metre store, keen to get their hands on some fashion bargains.

This is Primark’s second store in Malaga Province and the 35th in Spain.

It has fashion for men, women, children and

babies, as well as a household department.

The inauguration was attended by the Fuengirola Councillor for Commerce, Carmen Diaz, and the local Councillor

for Employment, Ricardo Von Wichmann, who welcomed and congratulated the 126 members of staff. Primark received 20,800 CVs for its opening in Fuengirola.

Seventy per cent of those hired were out of work.

The company will open a store in Cartagena, Murcia, next Thursday, and in November two more stores in Andalucia, one in Huelva and the other in Roquetas de Mar, Almeria.

The first 50 clients to make a purchase following the opening of the Fuengirola store were given a €25 gift voucher.

Better ride for taxis MALAGA taxis are taking a little more money.

This year should be better than 2012, predicted the Instituto Municipal del Taxi, which placed drivers’ earnings for 2013 at €29,868. This is 4.8 per cent more than last year’s €28,846.

Sundays and fiestas are their most productive days, with average earnings of €136.6 and Saturdays with €132.8. A normal weekday provides €93.1.

A survey of the first six months of this year that excluded the airport service showed that despite an 11hour day, Malaga taxi-drivers spend just 23.3 per cent of that time on the road. The rest corresponds to return journeys and waiting for calls.

Three set free from traffickers

SIX people have been arrested in a Malaga police operation and charged with human trafficking.

Three Nigerian women forced into prostitution on a Malaga industrial estate were set free at the same time, police have revealed.

In a repetition of countless other cases, the traffickers had tricked the women into coming to Spain with promises of work. Once here they learnt that they now owed up to €40,000 for their fares.

They were forced into working as

prostitutes to repay the debt. Refusal was met with physical violence and threats of voodoo and black magic.

Police launched the operation after one of the women called the free 900105090 telephone line, set up specifically so that victims of traffickers could report their captors and seek help under cover of anonymity.

Andalucia receives more than 20 million tourists a year, of whom only 15,000 are from China, Caneda said.

“That suggests that communication is lacking between Andalucia and China,” he admitted.

Malaga should be Chinese tourists’ point of entry for Andalucia, he suggested.

Refusal to respect transsexual pupil THE Education Department has threatened it could take measures to make the San Patricio Catholic School in Malaga respect the wishes of a transsexual pupil.

The school refused to allow the pupil to wear a girl’s uniform. The

child is six and has been at the centre for five years without suffering any type of discrimination.

The child’s parents have asked them to respect the gender with which the pupil identifies, but the school believes it could have a

negative effect on other students. The school authorities have said until there is a court order in place to say the child can wear a girl’s uniform they will not change their opinion.

This goes against the recommendations issued recently by the Territorial Education Department to prevent discrimination against transsexual pupils, and the school has been warned that measures could be taken to ensure they comply with current laws.

The Department of Education has indicated that transsexual pupils have the right to be referred to in class by the gender with which they identify, be allowed to wear the uniform or clothes which they prefer according to their sexual identity, and be able to choose which toilets they use.

They have sent guidelines to schools, regarding class lists, report cards, student cards and other documents so they refer to the children with the gender with which they feel identified.

The 13-floor building in the city centre housed the Correos (Spanish Postal Service) offices between 1986 and 2010. Although there was talk of turning it into luxury apartments, the more plausible option is to turn it into a hotel with shops on the ground floor.

HEART ATTACK: Filming on location in Mijas Pueblo.

Bollywood film comes to Mijas MIJAS PUEBLO is one of the locations for a Bollywood film.

Entitled ‘Heart Attack,’ the film is directed by Puri Jagannadh and stars two of India’s most famous stars, Nitin Reddy and Adah Sharmah.

The film, due to be premiered in India at the end of this year, is set in Spain and as usual for Bollywood, traditional songs and dance are combined with westernstyle choreography.

The 60-strong team of actors, dancers and technicians recently spent two days in Mijas, filming in the Plaza de la

Constitucion, Calle Los Caños and Plaza de la Libertad. “Mijas is a film set once again,” said Public Areas councillor Juan Carlos Gonzalez, in reference to the past when countless films were shot in the town. The town’s cleanliness and charm had prompted the choice of Mijas, Gonzalez claimed, aided by influential on-the-spot promotion in India by the town hall’s Tourism department.

Once released, the film will be seen by 300 million cinemagoers. “For Mijas to reach 300 million people is really something,” the councillor added.

Court accepts Wi-Fi appeal THE Constitutional Court has accepted Malaga’s appeal against a fine of €300,000 from the National Telecommunications Market Commission.

The National Court confirmed the fine in 2011, and the Supreme Court rejected the appeal.

The fine was set because of the free municipal Wi-Fi network, the Red Biznaga, which was launched in the city and considered to be against telecommunication laws. The city hall was considered to be carrying out an unregulated activity because it was not

registered as a provider and was competing with commercial providers.

Malaga provides free internet access in almost all municipal buildings, now complying with coverage and speed characteristics which regulate such services.

Later that night, a revenge shooting took place, in which streetlamps and several cars were damaged. The area was cordoned off by police.

The creators said several companies are interested in it.

Happy event in Fuengirola

A TALAPOIN MONKEY, the smallest primate in Africa, was born recently at Fuengirola’s Biopark.

It was the second to be born at the nature park this year and is the fifth to be bred from animals confiscated from traffickers. Just one other talapoin has been bred in captivity this year, in Prague (Czech Republic).

The species is present in only nine other European zoos, with two in the US. Illegal trafficking is a constant threat to talapoins, as their smallness and cuteness make them easy prey to the mafias who supply the clandestine trade in exotic animals.

Don’t lose out on your UK pension and benefit payments EXPATRIATES who draw UK pensions and benefits may soon be contacted by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) to confirm their international bank details.

From January 31, 2014, the DWP will need an International Bank Account Number (IBAN) and Bank Identification Code (BIC) in order to make payments to expatriates’ accounts in Spain and other Eurozone countries. This change is due to new European Union regulations which aim to make payments between EU countries faster and more secure.

The DWP already holds IBAN and BIC details for most of its customers. But expatriates whose details are not yet held by the DWP will soon receive a letter asking for them.

If you receive a letter, you should complete the attached form and return it to the DWP as soon as possible, says the British Embassy in Madrid.

Failure to do so may mean your payments will be stopped because after January 31, banks in Eurozone countries will not accept any DWP direct payments without these details.

You can get the IBAN and BIC details from your bank account statement or directly from your bank.

Expatriates only need to provide additional bank details if they receive payments into a Eurozone account outside the United Kingdom and have received a letter from the DWP. Pensioners who have changed address should contact the International Pension Centre on 0044 191 218 7777 to make sure their details are up to date.

For more information about the change to European bank account numbers, visit the European Commission website at http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/ payments/sepa/index_en.htm

Airport looking for budget airline THE government believes that a low-cost airline will lift Barajas out of the doldrums.

There was a 22 per cent drop in passengers using the Madrid airport in August compared with 2012. September saw an 11.5 per cent reduction. Nationwide passenger traffic fell by 5 per cent since January, but this rose to 14 per cent at Madrid-Barajas.

Minister of Public Works Ana Pastor believes that a Barajas-based low-cost airline could help to reverse this trend. “We are putting the finishing touches to an agreement,” Pastor recently confirmed in a radio interview.

Asked to name the company, she declined to give more details. “We shall wait until the agreement is signed,” she said.

No more hidden Swiss accounts NO undeclared Spanish bank accounts remain in Switzerland.

All were regularised during the Spanish government’s fiscal amnesty last year, claimed the Swiss Private Bankers Association (SPBA).

Practically every Spanish account-holder accepted the amnesty in order to pay less than the usual penalty for undeclared assets, an SPBA spokesman told Spanish journalists recently.

The Spanish government announced that the amnesty brought approximately €40 billion to the surface.

Tax authority Hacienda received €1.2 billion, although this was less than half of the expected €2.5 billion.

At one stage Madrid was interested in the Rubik system where, in exchange for anonymity, Switzerland levies a withholding tax at source to discharge an accountholder’s tax liability.

This would then have been forwarded to Spain.

Despite initial interest, nothing more was done and Finance Minister Cristobal Montoro denied in Parliament last December that Spain contemplated taking the Rubik route.

Although Italy and Greece are considering the system, only Austria and the UK have so far signed up to it. Vienna is said to be satisfied with the results although London is allegedly ‘disappointed’.

Debt rises DESPITE the Spanish government’s austerity drive, public debt keeps going up. It will peak at 101.13 per cent of gross domestic product in 2015, claims the government in documents sent to European Commission.

Easy come easy go...

YOUNG Spaniards spend €8 billion a year but have little grasp of basic finance.

Eighty per cent in the 14 to 24 age group do not know the difference between a debit and a credit card and 70 per cent admit doing nothing to earn their allowance. Although they receive an average €40 a month they spend €150.

These were amongst findings from Keepunto, an internet site that aims to show young people how to appreciate the value of money and use it responsibly.

Spending habits are formed between the ages of 14 and 24 and this age group is now notable for creating tendencies and defining families’ consumer habits.

As my friends can prove, every cent certainly counts Loose change A look at finance for females Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

SOMETIMES it’s the little things that do count.

The other day a friend of mine, who has just moved into a new apartment with her husband, mentioned they have already kitted out their new pad with a sofa, dining-room table, chairs and a brand new bed. All paid by cash.

My jaw dropped.

These days our lovely friends at the bank aren’t in the habit of giving out extra money on top of mortgages to help furnish a new house - so how did she manage to buy all these lovely new things?

KEEP SAVING: Put away loose change.

Well, my pal began the process of purchasing this particular apartment off-plan a couple of years ago, and, in what ended up being three years of waiting for the place to be built and finished,

she and her husband managed to put away a tidy sum of savings in a piggy bank nonetheless.

Every evening when the pair came home from work they would empty any small change

from their wallets into a piggy bank. Between the two of them on a daily basis they might have tipped in up to €8, but even at an average of €4 per day into a piggy bank, in one year that amounts to almost €1,500. So you can imagine that after three years they had saved up quite a lot of money.

The best part of the whole thing, she told me, is that they never felt like they were saving.

It wasn’t as painful as trying to put €100 away in one go. By putting a few loose coins into a savings jar each night, saving was easy.

I think it’s a great idea - and while I don’t own a piggy bank, I have instead cut a coin slot into a used five-litre water bottle, which now serves as a savings device.

It’s only day four of saving so far, but in 361 days from now I too hope to buy some fancy new furnishings for my home!

BBVA sells stake in China bank SPANISH bank BBVA is strengthening its capital reserves and meeting new banking rules by selling a 5.1 per cent stake in China CITIC Bank Corporation Limited.

Its partner CITIC Group has agreed to pay €944 million. The deal, carried out at market price, will free up capital and increase reserves by €2.4 billion.

It retains a 9.9 per cent holding in the Chinese state owned bank, which brings it under the 10 per cent limit for stakes in other banks recently agreed.

Shopping mall sold for €144.5m A BRITISH company has sold its stake in Spain’s biggest shopping mall for €144.5 million.

British Land announced it has sold its 50 per cent interest in Puerto Venecia Shopping

JOB HUNTING: No time.

JUST 23 per cent of unemployed people spend a minimum of three hours a day looking for work.

Madrid is the autonomous community where the jobless spend the most time looking for work - but even there just 27 per cent of people spend more than three hours a day on the job hunt.

Electrical appliances in trouble FAGOR, the Spanish electrical appliance maker, has filed for bankruptcy. The company, which has 6,000 employees estimates sales have plunged 37 per cent

since 2007. The company, which says it is the fifth largest appliance maker in Europe now has four months to reach an agreement with creditors.

Human resources company Manpower interviewed 7,000 work seekers. By age, those between 35 and 44 spent the most hours looking for jobs (29 per cent over three hours) whilst of those aged 16 to 24, just 84 per cent spent less than three hours a day seeking work.

The centre was previously owned in a joint venture partnership with them.

Puerto Venecia is an 82,600-square-metre retail park which opened in 2008, plus a 130,000square-metre fashion and leisure phase which opened in October 2012.

Charles Maudsley, Head of Retail for British Land, said: “I am pleased with the sale of Puerto Venecia which is in line with valuation. We have worked well with Orion to successfully complete and let the scheme and the disposal

is in line with our strategy of exiting our European business. It halves our European exposure to 1 per cent.”

The deal comes hot on the heels of news that British mall owner Intu Properties is looking to expand in Spain.

Earlier this month it bought a shopping centre in Oviedo, Northern Spain, in partnership with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. British Land is one of Europe’s largest Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) with total assets, owned or managed, of £16.9 billion (€20 billion).

Surveillance cameras: who sees the images?

Q. Readers have brought up more questions regarding surveillance cameras in Spain after our earlier piece. In particular, they want to know who sees the images, and how this works.

You and the Law in Spain

By David Searl

A. When you apply to the Agencia de Protección de Datos, APD, for a permit to install a video camera, you must identify the department or person who will administrate the recorded images.

When you are granted a permit, you will also receive an ‘official’ warning sign

for the public to know that cameras are present. You have probably seen these small yellow notices in various establishments, such as your bank. If you approach the sign, you can read the small print, which identifies the person in charge of the images. If you have a complaint, you have the right, under the Law of Data Protection, to have your images erased from the data bank.

These images can generally be kept for only one month. No use can be made of them except for security purposes. If there are break-ins in the community parking garage, the recorded video of that night will be carefully studied. Otherwise, as various users of security cameras have told me, it is quite likely that no one will ever look at them before they are thrown away.

If, by unfortunate chance, the video cameras have caught Mr Smith and Mrs Jones in a compromising situation, and this later comes to light, the registered administrator of the images will be in serious trouble indeed, facing high fines and even possible criminal charges.

These rules are the public’s protection against illegal use of the videos.

OPINION & COMMENT

Unjust law for innocent homeowners REGARDING the homes demolished in Cantoria (Reduced to rubble, Issue 1476).

These poor people, the judge agreed, had bought their homes in good faith, yet he ordered the demolition of their properties before they received a penny in compensation. Surely the most just outcome would have been to order the developer of the illegal homes to buy back the houses and then put a demolition order on them.

As it is, the only people punished are the innocent house buyers who have lost their homes and money. The builders still have the cash, and the town council has washed its hands of the affair.

But then the courts are about the law, not justice.

Samantha Weston (By email) Editor’s note: the EWN reported how two illegal homes in Almeria Province were demolished on a judge’s orders, despite the owners having bought them in good faith.

Scrooge-like I DO not think I have ever read a more revolting letter than D Blanchette’s (Issue 1476).

Was it not Ebenezer Scrooge who expressed the hope that paupers would go off and die right away, so as to reduce the surplus population?

What right has your correspondent to decide that he has a better right to go on living, than children who are suffering privations which it is hard for us even to imagine?

No one denies that population cannot grow indefinitely, but experience has shown that when medical and general living standards are good, birth rates fall, as has happened in Western Europe.

Mind you, Mr Blanchette’s views look well in a paper which continues to indulge Leapy Lee’s paranoias. Now he tells us that because some taxi firms are staffed by immigrants, this proves that they practise racism. What evidence has he for such a wild

Does he know anyone else who has? And his ranting about the burka is getting to be paranoiac, too. Is it really anyone’s business how other people dress? Leapy concludes that ‘The list goes on’.

Cover up I AM happy to see Palma Council (Cover up or be fined, Mallorca Issue 1476) is going to make it an offence to walk around the city semi-naked, punishable with €200 fines.

I really do not understand why people, many of them obese, think it remotely appropriate to wander around town in just

bikinis or swimming costumes.

What is OK on the seafront is most certainly not OK in shopping streets. It is not difficult to put a shirt on and spare the rest of us the sight of your bright red, sunburned rolls of flab.

Feria rip-off MY visiting daughter and I went to the Nerja feria on Saturday, October 12. On the way home, we stopped for tapas at a bar called Sevillano. We had a glass of wine, a beer, two nice tapas, and the bill was just over €4.

The following day, we decided

to go to another bar, which I praised, telling my daughter how much she’d like it. We had one glass of wine, one lemonade, two beers and four tapas. This should have amounted to under €10.

Instead, my 22-year-old daughter was presented with a bill for €29.50. When we queried this, we were told “It’s the feria.”

I was absolutely furious, and needless to say, will never go there again on principle!

Others, beware!

Open doors WHEN will the powers-that-be finally allow Sunday trading?

I work hard through the week, and it is galling not to be able to do my shopping on a Sunday, the only day I have free.

Living in a ‘tourism area’ the shops CAN stay open, but only in the summer months. But now they are back to being shut again.

Surely the simple measure of Sunday opening would create more employment in these difficult times. And it would mean I would not have to do a late

Seats please AIRPORTS never seem to have enough places to sit. It does not matter where you are in the world, if there are any delays many passengers must stand.

The problem is worse late at night when people stretch out to sleep across three or four seats, never mind that it means three other people then have to stand.

Sheer selfishness!

Flying back to London, I encountered just this problem at Stansted Airport. I had four hours to wait for the first London train, and spent them on my feet whilst others happily slept.

AB, Estepona (Malaga)

Paws for thought THE English language is rich in collective nouns to distinguish between different groups of animals: a herd of horses, cows or elephants; a school of fish, etc.

Less known, even for many natives of Shakespeare’s language, are: an ‘exaltation’ of doves, and supposedly because they’re so wise, a ‘parliament’ of owls.

However, until recently, I never knew the anthropomorphic term for a group of baboons. I knew that they are the noisiest, most stubborn, least intelligent and most dangerous of all the primates. And what is the collective noun in English for this group? Exactly! A ‘congress’ of baboons is what we Americans now have representing us in Washington DC! Richard M McBride, Benidorm (Alicante) PS: My deepest apologies to our less harmful and hairier ape cousins.

Any answer?

HAS anyone successfully claimed Attendance Allowance while living in Spain? I don’t mean if you have had the benefit exported, just that you have claimed and got the benefit since you went to live in Spain. I would be grateful for any info melaniecastle1@aol.co.uk.

War Horse (Film, 2011) Devon, 1914. The Great War looms and for simple farm boy Albert (Jeremy Irvine) its biggest wrench will be that his closest companion, a beautiful thoroughbred horse named Joey, is set to be sold to the army. Since his father purchased the stallion to spite his landlord, Albert has trained and reared him, reluctantly sending him to plough and joyously riding him across picturesque English fields.

Hotel of Mum and Dad Documentary) BBC 3 from 2:35am to 3:30am Series in which young couples living with their parents or inlaws test drive a place of their own for a week. Within a year of meeting online, Manchester lass Leah had left her family and friends and moved 200 miles to live with Liam and his dad Bill. The problem is that the closeness between father and son means that the relationship has three people in it and Leah is getting homesick. Leah gets Liam to agree to move to Manchester, but with Liam used to ruling the roost at home how will he cope when he's out of his comfort zone? It's make or break for the couple as Leah gets a taste of the life she's been missing for the past five years. In Bristol, Sami and Rochelle are living in a crowded house with three generations under one roof. Having Sami's mum next door isn't great for their sex life and after two years of living with the future in-laws Rochelle wants her own place.

The problem is that Sami is used to being waited on at home and is scared of going it alone.

NEWS A NEW Facebook group for anyone who has been affected by cancer already has more than 100 members after just three months.

The aim of Cancer Sucks Spain is to give a forum for people where they can chat, vent their frustrations, scream or offer advice.

Many of its members have become close and offer each other support in many ways. As the group began to grow members thought it would be nice to have a coffee morning to meet and chat. This has now grown with the AECC in Carvajal inviting the group to hold its meetings at its venue.

The AECC is a Spanish support organisation, and now Cancer Sucks’ members will be able to benefit from many of its services including yoga classes, massage, etc.

The group holds meetings every other Friday. The next meeting is

Helping each other through cancer tomorrow (Friday) and then November 8 and 22 and December 6 and 20.

The address of the AECC is Paseo Maritimo, No. 136, Carvajal, at the end of Fuengirola (opposite end to the castle).

The group has a Spanish Doctor of Haematology on board who is willing to offer her services and advice to members.

The group also has a physiotherapist specialising in the treatment of lymphoedema secondary to cancer. Many people who have had treatment for cancer are not made aware of the risk factors of developing lymphoedema.

She can give specialist advice on how to prevent the condition.

Urgent appeal from PAD AN animal charity is sending out an urgent call for help as it faces a crisis.

The Mijas Costa based PAD (Protección de Animales Domesticos) is appealing for help to reduce the number of animals in its care.

President Lisa Emeny explained: “We, like many animal charities, have been struggling for some time because demand for our services has increased whilst our income has dropped dramatically.

“We urgently need to reduce the number of animals we are currently looking after which, in turn, will reduce our running costs.

“At the moment we have 180 cats and 35 dogs who desperately need to be re-homed. I would ask anyone who is able to offer a home to one of these beautiful

24 - 30 October 2013 / Costa del Sol

animals to please visit the shelter.”

Lisa added: “We have been limiting the number of new animals that come into the shelter for some time now and reducing our costs wherever possible, but we have now reached crisis point.”

The shelter can be found behind the Canes vet on the road to the Hipodromo (horse racing course) which is at the back of the Myramar shopping centre, Mijas Costa.

The shelter is open between 10am and 2pm and 3pm to 6pm Monday to Friday and 10am and 2pm at weekends.

For more information about PAD visit www.padcatsanddogs.org or telephone the shelter: Dogs 952 469 254 or 689 757 216 Cats 952 468 054 or 689 757 580.

For those who are living with it she is available for assessments, treatments

and advice on how to manage lymphoedema long-term.

To benefit from support and information join Cancer Sucks Spain on

Facebook or email cancersucksspain@outlook. com with any questions.

Once he manages to get out of the house, he contacts his best friend Billy who helps him out, but kids only have so much money. Luckily, his childish ways win him a job with MacMillan Toys whose owner soon advances him up the corporate ladder, though his colleague Susan can't quite understand why he doesn't respond to her advances.

Enjoy the outside all year round with NeoGlass

BE SEEN: Perfect for businesses...

N

EOGLASS is one of the Costa del Sol’s leading glass curtain manufacturers and suppliers, producing its own bespoke glazing system comprised of 10mm tempered glass, aluminum, stainless steel, Teflon and high quality engineered plastics.

With more than 10 years’ experience in this industry, NeoGlass prides itself on continuous evolution in the market in order to meet the needs of every individual customer it supplies.

NeoGlass specialises in manufacturing unique glass curtains, different to any other because they are bottom-weighted; this means rather than hanging from ceiling fixtures, all the weight is supported from the bottom, ultimately making them safer and easier to use. And because the bottom-weighted glass runs on a patented Teflon system as opposed to using wheels, which break easily, NeoGlass glass curtains last longer without the need for repair.

As well as glass curtains, NeoGlass provides retractable and fixed roofs made from various materials including glass and high quality engineered plastic.

The polycarbonate roofs provide a fresh alternative to glass as the materials are less transparent, and can provide homes with

the option for shade as well as insulation.

NeoGlass treats every job with the same excellent customer service.

Firstly the technician will arrive at a customer’s home or business to make an assessment and provide several options as to the style of glass curtains best suited to their specific needs. Plans will then be drawn up so customers can visualise the design and choose the one that suits them.

The bespoke glass designs are then manufactured at NeoGlass’s warehouse on the industrial estate in Mijas Costa, a careful process that usually takes around one month.

The designs are then fitted by industry professionals ready for homeowners or businesses to enjoy.

Furthermore NeoGlass gives its customers a fiveyear guarantee on its services.

The company is a trusted business not only in Spain but worldwide, and manufactures and exports glass as far afield as Kuwait and Chile.

Contact NeoGlass on 951 775 214, www.neoglass.es/ email info@neoglass.es or visit their showroom situated on C/Rio Benamargosa 7 29651 Mijas Costa opposite the BP garage on the Camino de Coin.

He was a very successful butcher and always maintained that greasy hands rubbed through his hair on a daily basis was responsible. (Gawd!)

Mind you, that’s all Brylcreem was, scented grease!

T IS not only a national scandal, but also an almost inexplicable waste the way the British treat their elderly citizens.

Cast aside like bundles of old, no longer fashionable, clothes, they are stuck out of sight by younger generations, who have no respect or time for them and often regard them as an embarrassment.

All that wealth of experience with WISER: Ignore positively treasure troves of knowledge, completely discarded to the advice of the make way for new generations, older generation bristling with inexperience and for at your peril! the most part arrogant enough to believe they will not only make better life decisions, but will also stay young forever.

Ha! Give us a break! This blatant disregard of human experience is slowing the progress of the West at an alarming rate. I don’t know of any life situation or business that has prospered by starting completely afresh every few years.

I still vividly remember a wonderful example of elderly acumen when, despite an inability to keep up with modern technology, back in the mid-sixties I received truly sound advice from the voice of real experience. My dear old

He greeted me with a wide, beaming face and told me he had heard me singing on the ‘wireless’ that morning. “Bloody warz!” he exclaimed. “I heard you singing on the wireless at 6.30 this morning. I can remember the time you couldn’t even get out of bed till half past ten!” Lovely.

Just before I left he gestured me to come closer. I bent down. Putting his mouth right next to my ear he then uttered words that, had I truly taken his advice, would have undoubtedly stood me in extremely good future stead. “Put yer money in bricks and mortar,” he whispered conspiratorially. Ah, Grandad, 99 years of experience and I didn’t take it. Take fair warning, all you youngsters; ignore the knowledge of those who manifested long before you at your peril. The successful Asian races don’t.

Could you all do everyone a favour and give nothing at all to these East European beggars, who are multiplying like fleas on our streets and thoroughfares? They are a blight on the landscape, a filthy disgrace and a professionally organised racket. Personally, I find it extremely disconcerting to find the same grubby hand recently shoved out for coppers, later holding to a filthy ear, a mobile phone I couldn’t even afford myself!

LETTERS TO LEAPY

Glass-houses LEAPY said of UK immigrants: “Far from integrating with their generous hosts, they have gone out of their way to recreate their own societies, even to forming segregated areas where they endeavour to reproduce the culture and customs of the countries they have actually run away from!” That’s the best description I’ve read of foreigners here in Spain.

After 13 years on the Costa, I’m the only foreigner I know who has bothered to learn Spanish and integrate with the locals. Nuff said.

Q. What does Leapy have in common with Sean Connery?

A. They both left their native countries decades ago, but are great admirers from afar.

Mike Casey, Benalmadena (Malaga)

Couch potato Peter Griffin is the father and head of the family and Lois is his loving wife, who struggles to maintain a modicum of normality in their chaotic home life.

They have three children - teen queen Meg, 13-year-old slacker Chris and the youngest, Stewie, a diabolically clever and malicious baby who is intent on overthrowing his parents and achieving world domination.

Wrapping up the family unit is Brian, the family dog, who just happens to be the brainiest of the bunch.

Creator Seth MacFarlane himself voices three of the characters - father Peter, baby Stewie and Brian the dog. Lois, the mother, is voiced by Alex Borstein, daughter Meg by Mila Kunis and Seth Green (Austin Powers, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) provides the voice for son Chris.

A question of faith Few Spaniards actually attend church Cassandra Nash

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

T

HE Spanish regard themselves as Catholic but few go to church.

Unless, that is, it involves dressing up for weddings, christenings and first communions, weeping at funerals and turning out for processions requiring little religious commitment.

No-one denies the Church its right to honour the 522 priests, monks and nuns who died for their faith or the right to describe them as martyrs.

But it should try not to politicise their path towards sainthood. Decades after the Constitution set it out in black and white, the Spanish hierarchy is still reluctant to accept that Spain no longer has a state

religion. And it is still reluctant to pay much heed to its silence regarding the thousands of Republicans who died after the war, persecuted for their own type of faith.

profession except the politicians.

“We’re all in it together” is what voters hear. But they are in over their heads while their leaders splash happily in the shallows.

Come on in!

Keeping abreast

SPAIN’S President Mariano Rajoy told an Austrian interviewer that the sacrifices asked of the population have been “fairly distributed.”

For a certain type of politician and non-Keynesian economists this could be true. Possibly Rajoy is correct in saying that these sacrifices have served to restore confidence in the Spanish economy.

The public see these sacrifices from a different perspective.

Five years of crisis and austerity have hit every wage band and

THREE members of the global women’s movement Femen interrupted the Spanish parliament as Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon addressed the chamber.

They ripped off their tops, chanting “Abortion is sacred” in protest against Ruiz-Gallardon’s plans to restrict abortion.

“Clear the public gallery with care,” ordered the Speaker, Jesus Posada.

The bare-breasted girls put up a fight, clinging to columns and balustrades, but were removed

FIRST COMMUNION: Reason to go to church.

from the chamber and taken to the police station. They were released immediately, unlike Femen members in Arab countries where real courage is required and severe punishment awaits them.

Ruiz-Gallardon shrugged off the episode as “lack of respect for

public sovereignty” which is not entirely accurate.

When Spain voted overwhelmingly for Mariano Rajoy in 2011 they wanted economic recovery, not limitation of abortion.

Instead they failed to get the first and will be saddled with the second.

Some sovereignty.

TERMINAL 3: Opened to passengers in 2010.

OLDEST IN SPAIN: The original airport.

Hub of the Costa del Sol THE new runway was opened in June 2012, with the aim of doubling the number of flights and passengers, to 30 million passengers a year, providing them all with safety and a quality service, capable of dealing with 9,000 passengers every hour.

As well as the new terminal and airport, there is a new seven-storey car park and improved access, both by road and by public transport once the airport has been totally reformed. The total surface of the terminals will be 385,000 square metres, with 180 check-in desks, 48 boarding gates and 26 luggage belts. When the airport is totally completed, with an investment of €1.775 billion, there will also be 74 bays for aircraft, 26 of which will be connected directly to the boarding gates.

Following the T3 opening, the total commercial area of Malaga Airport covers 18,000 square metres, 10,800 of which are in T3. It has the largest food hall in Europe, dozens of shops and the first National Geographic Store in the world. There are also pharmacies, vending machines, internet access, phones, photo booths, cash points, currency exchange booths, and Spain’s largest duty free shop, Aldeasa.

CONNECTIONS The airport currently connects with Malaga and Fuengirola via the Cercanias C-1 Renfe train line which runs every 20 minutes. There is a bus from Malaga City to the airport, and a coach to Marbella or Estepona, as well as a large number of rent-a-car services and a taxi rank. The new terminal allows better connections to all these options.

HISTORY Malaga Airport is the oldest in Spain to remain in its original location. Its story begins way back in 1919. On March 9 of

FACTS Location: Eight kilometres from the centre of Malaga City IATA code: AGP OACI code: LEMG Fourth busiest airport in Spain.

Number of passengers per year: 12,581,984 in 2012 Connections to: Europe, Eastern Europe, North Africa, Middle East and North America.

Busiest route: Malaga to London Gatwick

that year, Frenchman Pierre Latécoère was flying a Salmson 2A in the area, searching for a place to land and did so on a plot of land known as El Rompedizo. Latécoère was scouting the area with plans to build airfields in Spain, with a view to establishing a commercial line between France and its colonies in Africa, stopping off in Spain.

In September that year, Didier Daurat, who later became the manager of the airfield, inaugurated the regular flights between Toulouse, Barcelona, Alicante, Malaga, Tangiers and Casablanca.

In 1937, coinciding with the start of the Civil War, Malaga Airport became a military base and the Spanish Air Force schools were opened. In 1938, an international flight with Italian company Ala Littoria was opened. On July 12, 1946, the airport opened to more national and international flights and border controls were created.

Until 1948, when the civilian airport was opened, passengers used the air force base.

Throughout 1960, the runway was extended and a new terminal built some 1.5 kilometres from the original location, as

well as the control tower which throughout the 1960s was equipped with more modern navigational equipment. In 1965, the airport, which until then had been known as El Rompedizo or Garcia Morato, was called Malaga Airport. By that same year, some 30 companies were operating from it.

The new passenger terminal was opened on January 29, 1968, and dealt with national and international flights.

In 1972, a new terminal for charter flights was built, but due to the everincreasing number of flights operating from the airport, it became clear a larger, more modern building was needed. The new, Pablo Ruiz Picasso Airport, designed by Ricardo Bofill, was finally opened on November 30, 1991, with two separate areas for arrivals and departures. In 1995,

the car park was opened, and the old passenger area, dating back to the 1940s, was refurbished to become the General Aviation Terminal.

In 1996, a hangar for aircraft maintenance and a merchandise terminal came into operation. In 1997, the area for stationary craft was extended and a new refuelling system introduced.

In 2002, a new control tower with the latest navigation system, known as VICTOR, was inaugurated.

In 2007, Terminal 1 was improved and extended, as well as the car parks.

In 2010, the new T3 terminal was opened by King Juan Carlos I. In 2011, the name was officially changed to Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport.

In 2012, the second runway was opened.

New public car park now open at Malaga Airport Helle Hollis Parking H

ELLE HOLLIS with more than 30 years of car hire experience on the Costa del Sol, and also well known for the quality of its car hire, now offers public parking in the building next to its Head Office by Malaga Airport.

Managing Director Hans Hugo From announces that Helle Hollis has been considering opening up public car parking for a long time. A large proportion of our ‘older’ car hire clients have over the years moved permanently to the Costa del Sol and bought a car themselves. Hence we get daily requests for parking of private cars, which until now, unfortunately, we had to reject. As our building next to the Head Office was available at the end of July we were finally able to realise these new plans.

The parking garage is called ‘Helle Hollis Parking’ and was officially inaugurated on October 1. “We started, however, slowly during the month of September, although we were not fully operational,” continues Hans Hugo.

Everything is now in place and Hans

INDOOR PARKING: Where the customer’ s car stays safe and secure.

Hugo says that Helle Hollis Parking will stand for safety, quality and service - just as it is known for with its car hire.

Helle Hollis Parking only offers indoor parking where the customer can be 100% safe and secure that the parked car will not be moved around or taken to an outdoor

parking as soon as they are on the plane.

The parking garage is alarmed with video surveillance and the cars are in a locked area which only authorised Helle Hollis employees have access to. In addition, there are staff at work 24/7/365. If you park seven days or longer we give the

courtesy of a free car wash before the vehicle is returned to you.

During October, Helle Hollis is offering an introductory ‘Price Match’.

We must fill up the parking spaces, so we’ll match any published indoor parking price on Avenida Garcia Morato. This also applies to annual contracts made during October.

Helle Hollis Parking is open around the clock, all year round. The customer service with check-in and return of the car takes place at Helle Hollis car hire office, after which the car is parked in the enclosed indoor area. A free courtesy bus service takes customers quickly back and forth from Malaga Airport.

It’s easy to reserve your parking at the new website www.hellehollis parking.com where you will also receive a 15% online discount on the parking tariff.

MALAGA AIRPORT: Now known as AGP.

Did you know?

CURIOSITIES THE standard procedure to assign an IATA code to an airport is to use three letters of the name of the city or area it is in. As the only vowel in ‘Malaga’ is ‘A,’ there were only 13 possible combinations for Malaga Airport, but they were already assigned to other international airports.

Therefore, it was obligatory to choose two letters from the name ‘Malaga’ and complete the code with a letter not used by another airport.

That left 20 possible combinations, starting with AA or AG. AG was chosen, and of the final possible choices, P was chosen to complete the code as AGQ, the desired combination, was already assigned to Agrinion in Greece.

TERMINAL 3: Finally opened in 2010.

TERMINALS Terminal 1 is used for flights to nonSchengen agreement destinations and Ceuta and Melilla. It opened in 1972.

Terminal 2 was opened in November 1991, and is used for flights to nonSchengen destinations.

Terminal 3 was to open in 2008, but was finally inaugurated by King Juan Carlos I on March 15, 2010. It is used for flights within the Schengen zone.

OPINION & COMMENT

An entertaining thought Many artistes entertain us simply because they enjoy doing so Mike Walsh Mike Walsh. Based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

T

HROUGHOUT the Costas live some of the era’s greatest entertainers. Such artistes visit Mediterranean Spain whilst others choose to drop anchor in our safe haven harbours.

Entertainers work tirelessly during the hours when the rest of us are taking a break. Most are paid far less than their true worth and the younger ones have tiring day jobs.

I am reminded of a true story.

As a social experiment, a newspaper invited Joshua Bell, one of the 20th century’s great violinists to perform as a busker in a Washington DC railway station.

Few passers-by took notice as he played pieces that had earlier played to sell-out audiences.

Many artistes entertain us simply because they enjoy doing so. It certainly isn’t for the pittance many receive. A bungling lawyer wouldn’t pick up the

ENTERTAINERS: Used to lure clients to tables. phone for that. Many think entertainers are free of charge, like the climate. We do not clap the sun either.

As I browse the Costa communities’ media, I see advertised entertainers who have rocked the world. Some were cruise liner entertainers or once backed world famous bands. Many were household name stars who once saw their names in lights.

Fans paid over the odds for tickets to see

idols who went on world tours and entertained the world’s elite. Time took its toll on these entertainers as it took its toll on us. No, stop right there!

Not all are quite as equal as at first it appears. Practice makes perfect, like the best of wines many artistes improve with age. They become better at doing what they do best.

Furthermore, without fanfares most perform free of charge for charities, many

of which are very profitable concerns.

Where does the fault lie? Like Joshua Bell, these outstanding artistes play not to sell-out audiences but to a table or two populated by family, friends and passersby looking for a diversion.

Such artistes have already proved their worth. Could the fault lie with local media?

No. One cannot turn a page without seeing a galaxy of stars.

Does the blame lie with venue managers? Many venues are good at using quality entertainers to lure clients to their dining tables. It is a rewarding experience.

I know restaurants where even off-season booking a table is a necessity. It is not because they are cheap or in the right location as many are virtually inaccessible.

It is because they give value for money and outstanding entertainment is on the menu, too. That is their art.

If you experience a truly talented artiste or ensemble playing to empty tables the chances are it is due to sloppy or complacent management.

Perhaps we too could shake off inertia.

My wife and I are often tired but when we make the effort we are rarely disappointed. I will clap to that.

OPINION & COMMENT

Spotting the signs of cancer CANCER is a disease that touches the lives of one in three people whether they suffer from it or know someone who has been affected by it.

October has been Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.

But do you think enough is being done to make people aware of all forms of cancer?

RETIRED Jenni Blair-Hipkin, 65, from Torrevieja, does believe there is enough publicity and awareness about breast cancer these days:

Chris Greswold

STREET TALK “I’ve had breast cancer and got so much support from the hospital.

They were all marvellous. I was given a lot of information.” She added: “I think the information is out there but some people hide away from it and don’t want to listen, but the best thing to do is get checked out if you have any concerns, it is nothing to be scared of.”

Lottie Williams, an 18 year-old student from Torrevieja, agreed: “I think there is plenty of information out there. It is not something I am particularly worried about at my age, but I am aware of breast cancer and know what to look for. I don’t think there is any woman out

there that couldn’t say they don’t know some of the warnings signs of breast cancer.”

Chris Greswold lives in Antas and is Manageress of the new Paws Shop in Las Buganvillas: “Yes I do,” she said, “but whether people listen and follow it up by going to the doctor’s is another matter.

“People need to make the effort to visit the doctor.”

John Leyland, who lives in Pueblo Laguna and is retired, said: “I think it is more active in England than in Spain. I don’t think it is publicised as much as it should be. You never see collectors in the streets in Spain, like you do in the UK.” John Leyland

Time Out EURO WEEKLY’S SPACE FOR YOU TO TAKE A BREAK, BE INFORMED AND ENJOY A CHALLENGE

Starring Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson, Beyonce Knowles and Colin Farrell. Directed by Chris Wedge. Runtime 102 minutes. Rated U.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A great feeling of joy comes over you more than once in the week ahead. Your inner child has been set free, and this is likely to be because of recent restrictions, which are now lifted. Do not feel guilty about this because it is a choice that will serve you well in the future. Right now, things may seem like a bit of an effort for small reward.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Travel arrangements may have to be changed at the last minute.

Do not fret, however, because success is more likely later in the month. During a dream, or when reading a book, an idea comes to you. Can this really make a difference to your future? You may need to act quickly to start a new project but progress will require patience.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The need to plan ahead is frustrating when you know exactly what ought to be going on. Patience is something that you need to cultivate, or you risk upsetting someone close. Spending time with a colleague makes you realise how good things could be, but a lot of effort is involved. Pushing ahead does not guarantee results.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) It is difficult to avoid repeating mistakes made in the past. Your approach to certain situations has not changed and therein lies the problem. Someone who blames you for a mistake shows ignorance but that does not make it less upsetting.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Who is trying to push you into a corner? Maybe it is being done so subtly that you have not even noticed.

Who wants a decision from you? Appear to take pressure lightly and not give in to an irritation.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A rather slow start to the week leads you to feel bored but be

Mary Katherine has come to live with her dad in a ramshackle house in the middle of nowhere.

Obsessed with proving the existence of a society of tiny guardians of the forest called Leafmen, Mary’s dad has little time for a daughter or realities of life. Mary lands right in the middle of the Leafmen's society, where she quickly develops an appreciation for her father's eccentricities.

IF ITʼS YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Social life is important because friendships will be made that last a long time. Your popularity should not be taken for granted, but built on. As you need other people, they also need you.

October 25: Katy Perry, 29.

American pop singer.

October 26: Hillary Clinton, 66.

US Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013.

October 27: John Cleese, 74. British actor, former Monty Python member.

October 28: Bill Gates, 58. Cofounder of computer assured that the weekend will be far from dull. A recent conversation or correspondence with an old friend leads to unexpected contact.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Everything on the home front is emphasised and there will be a flurry of activity. Get others involved in any changes. Work in the garden or painting is much more enjoyable and half the work if you enlist the help of someone you get on well with.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When discussing a holiday with others, be aware that agreement is not always easily met. Although you are not inclined to compromise, it is necessary to go with the majority decision.

Your Stars

October 24: 49. Rosana is a singer-songwriter from Lanzarote who has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. She started singing at an early age and wrote her first song when she was only eight years old. Rosana made her musical debut in 1996 with Lunas Rotas, which sold 1 million copies in Spain and gained her international recognition. So far she has released seven albums and a book of poems.

49

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After the 2nd it is much easier to see the path ahead. This is particularly true of a financial situation, so there's no sense in fussing until you understand what needs to be done.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Your attention is needed on more than one front, and some decisions are at odds with your personal thoughts and attitudes. Being reminded that 'business is business' does nothing to relieve your conscience. You may have to upset someone by telling the truth, which may affect your longerterm finances.

October 29: Winona Ryder, 42.

American actress who made her debut aged 15.

October 30: Diego Armando Maradona, 53.

Argentine football manager and former player.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Are you willing to take a risk on someone who has let you down before? Looking into their recent past is likely to tip the balance. What you find shows clearly if there has been a change of heart on their part or if they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) A disagreement with a friend upsets you but is short-lived. To avoid such a situation in the future, look at how you should have dealt with it.

There is always something to know that guides us to a better position. It will make you smile someone has taken you for a fool as you have the last laugh.

The hip joint, like the shoulder, is a ball and socket synovial joint formed by the rounded head of the femur (thigh bone) which sits in to the acetabulum (cup-like structure) on the Os Coxae of the pelvis. We refer, inaccurately, to this bone as our hip.

It should be one of the most flexible joints as it has a greater range of movement than all of the other joints, except the shoulder. The male and the female hip differ in shape causing different strains to the joints.

The hip joint is reinforced by many tough ligaments and muscles that prevent dislocation of the joint. There are around 77 structures around the hip joint and the co-operation of these allows the hip to move and at the

HIP: Ball and socket joint. same time provide stability.

The hip must be capable of supporting half of the body weight combined with any other forces acting on the body. For example, during running or jumping the force of the body’s movements multiplies the force on the hip joints to many times the force exerted by the body’s weight. Walking exerts a force of oneand-a-half times the body’s weight and running exerts a force of five to seven times the body’s weight, depending on the speed.

The joint must be able to endure these extreme forces repeatedly during intense physical activity. If you

think of a game of tennis which includes twisting, running, jumping and sudden stopping, the hip is truly an amazing bit of equipment.

Interestingly, most people have no real idea where their hip joint is! It is, in fact, situated deep in the groin and pain from the hip is usually felt in this area. Pain at the hip can also be referred to the knee, so a clear assessment to distinguish which joint is actually in trouble is essential.

Many people think that pain at the outer thigh, buttock or back is being caused by the hip but as you now understand, these are quite separate problems. But of course if you walk badly or your muscles become weak or inactive due to a fall or an injury, these factors may compromise the hip in the long-term.

There are many common causes of pain around the hip including bursitis, tendonitis and referred pain from the spine.

An X-ray of either joint may show arthritic changes but you don’t want or need injections or operations for the wrong joint. Similarly, pain relief (while welcome) does nothing to change the status of the situation.

If you have any questions related to the symptoms and/or treatment of hip pain please call The Bodyworks Clinic on 952 883 151 or visit www.TheBodyworksClinic.com

So just what does Spain taste like?

GASTRONOMY is part of the Spanish way of life and now a new campaign aims to promote it online.

Association Saborea España (Tasting Spain) and the Spanish Institute for Tourism have joined forces to promote Spanish gastronomy.

They have invited people to take a picture or make a video telling what they think Spain tastes like.

These testimonials will be uploaded to the different Saborea España social networking websites.

Weekend trips to several culinary destinations in Spain will be given to the best responses.

The starting point of this campaign is a series of testimonials by Spanish chefs

SPAIN: What does it taste like?

including Pedro Subijana, Juan Mari Arzak and Pedro Larumbe.

They all say what, in their opinion, Spain tastes like and invite people to do the same.

The aim of this campaign is to promote the Spanish

gastronomy on both national and international levels.

But it also aims at improving the economic situation of catering businesses, deeply affected by the financial crisis and a decrease in internal tourism.

During the presentation of the campaign, Marta Blanco, the general manager of the Spanish Institute for Tourism pointed out the Spanish gastronomy is essential to the touristic experience in Spain.

Blanco said: “Gastronomy is

one of the best valued aspects by visitors satisfaction surveys.”

Burgers, go from fast food to gourmet dish H

AMBURGERS have become a gourmet dish. Gone are the days in which the popular meat sandwich was a synonym for fast food.

Fine dining restaurants have incorporated them onto their menus, while many others have opened specialising in them.

A passing fad for some, gourmet burgers are made with the finest ingredients.

From the classic bacon and cheese one to more sophisticated options, they can satisfy the most demanding palates.

According to chefs, a good gourmet burger has to be home-made.

Everything from mincing meat to baking

GOURMET BURGER: To satisfy the most demanding palate. buns has to be made on the premises.

This way, chefs make sure the ingredients are always the freshest and

no sub-standard produce is used.

At the same time, they are able to add some innovations to the

burgers to appeal to customers.

Knowing of this burger craze, managers at Blend restaurant in Paris have published a gourmet burger recipe book.

The book contains 58 original recipes by French chef Victor Garnier.

“Things have changed and burgers have become a gastronomic pleasure,” they said.

“Possibilities are endless with good ingredients,” they added.

Brewing beer at home made easy CARGO, a multidisciplinary team of designers based in Belfast, has developed an appliance for those considering taking their love for beer a bit further.

Their creation, Brewbot, is a smart brewing appliance that can be controlled and monitored with a smartphone.

Brewbot is designed to make consistently high quality craft beer at home, its creators say.

Brewing can be laborious and time consuming, and their aim was to make users focus on recipes rather than on fixing a set-up or looking at timers and thermometers.

Brewbot is still a prototype, but it already looks promising.

With a

No previous brewing knowledge is required to use it, their creators claim.

A smartphone app monitors temperature and time. Users only have

to buy the ingredients, set up a recipe in the app and connect to Brewbot.

The appliance will add the exact amount of water and, once heated, the valve in the container will release and the water will run into the mash tun where the grain lies.

Senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield Dr Eugenia Cheng has calculated a ratio to ensure maximum flavour of topping to base. Using ‘d’ as the constant volume of dough and ‘t’ as the constant volume of topping, the formula provides the correct ratio of base to topping.

Dr Cheng developed the formula in cooperation with Pizza Express to find out why some pizzas were more popular. The perfect pizza must be thin to ensure a crispy base and its toppings well-spread.

Snail meat, latest in trend A SNAIL craze is hitting the UK. British diners are increasingly demanding the meat of this mollusc, food industry sources claim.

Said to be low in fat and packed with proteins, snails are the perfect alternative for those looking for a healthier diet.

The demand is so high that farms in the UK are reported to have expanded to supply up to three times more snails.

The mollusc meat can now be found in more restaurants, brasseries and even retailers.

In certain areas of Southern Spain, snails are traditionally cooked with aromatic herbs and spices, while English chefs feature this mollusc in modern cuisine dishes.

Snail eggs are also being sold.

This delicacy, which resembles caviar, is sold in 75-gram jars for £90 (€106).

DIET CHOICE: Snails are low in fat.

Saturday evening in December from 1am until 7am and guests dining in one of Sala Group’s establish-ments are invited to join the party with a complimentary entrance before 2am to dance the night away.

Chorizo for UK CHORIZO has found a place in the average British fridge.

The paprika-infused sausage has become a basic component of the daily diet of many Britons, who are attracted to the food’s smoky flavour and versatility.

Forty two per cent of people asked by food magazine Olive claimed they couldn’t live without the Spanish sausage, and sales figures seem to support the statement.

British supermarket chain Waitrose claims it sold three times more chorizo in 2012 than in 2008, and it now offers 20 different varieties including a British version one.

The spicy sausage is used by many celebrity chefs in their dishes.

Italians eat less pasta ITALIANS are gradually eating less pasta, the Wall Street Journal says.

According to the American newspaper, pasta consumption in families dropped from 40 kilos to 31 kilos per year in the past decade.

The Wall Street Journal points at international dishes, especially sushi, as the cause behind the Italians’ low appetite for pasta.

Trying to keep fit may also be a reason for the decrease.

American global information and measurement company Nielsen claims the number of Italian women aged between 26 and 30 who believe pasta is fattening increased by 26 per cent between 2008 and 2012.

PASTA: Consumption has decreased in Italy.

Oddly enough, pasta consumption has increased outside the boundaries of Italy.

In 1987 in the UK, £53 million

(€62 million) worth of pasta was consumed, whereas in 2009 that figure rose to £282 million (€333 million).

Grow your own vitamins!

By Dick Handscombe INSTEAD of buying manufactured vitamins in bottles, how much better to grow the fruit and vegetables which contain them naturally?

Heath authorities worldwide recommend that we eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day for their vitamin and mineral content; others emphasise that these are best if fresh and grown ecologically/organically without the use of chemicals.

The Slow Food movement recommends that we should try and eat local produce to sustain the local economy.

So let’s do it by growing our own!

The great advantages are that you can focus on growing those fruit and

veg with the greatest beneficial vitamin and mineral contents and harvest just what is required for each meal or each day.

To help you understand which vitamins and minerals are of benefit to your well-being and which vegetables and fruits contain them, we include descriptive tables in our book ‘Living well from our garden Mediterranean style’ which is available exclusively from Amazon Books or if you require an autographed copy, from handscombe2@hotmail. com.

Whatever you select to grow, ensure you include antioxidant and antiinflamatory vitamin/ mineral rich varieties. ©Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com October 2013

L

AST week I said how after my dog Boy Boy (BB) recovered from the life-threatening condition of bloat (twisted stomach) his eating habits changed.

He started gulping his food down, which can be dangerous and even life-threatening.

The faster they eat, the less they chew, which can cause them to choke. When they race through their food they are also swallowing a large amount of air. This can result in something relatively simple but unpleasant like burping or passing gas.

This usually occurs with large, deep-chested breeds, but small dogs can suffer, too.

It can cause a food bloat from the

large amount of air and how much they eat.

With food bloat their stomachs have not twisted yet, but the chances of that happening while they are bloated with food/air is greatly increased.

This is life-threatening and can cause serious damage to the stomach, or death.

They MUST be seen immediately by your veterinarian, there is NO home remedy.

Any time your dog looks bloated or suddenly ‘fatter’, they should be seen immediately by the vet, since x-rays are needed for diagnosis.

Bloated belly, walking hunched over, attempting to vomit (unsuccessfully), listlessness and pacing are the common symptoms seen with bloat.

I have now slowed BB down. A good idea is to use a metal non-tip food/water bowl. Flip it upside down and spread the food in the ring around the centre.

BLOAT: Small dogs can suffer this lifethreatening condition too.

For BB to get all the food he has to circle around the bowl as well as pick his head up to shift to the other side.

Another idea is to place a large rock in their food bowl and spread the food around it. (only use large rocks because some dogs may eat the rocks if small enough).

URNITURE retailer World of Sofas is coming up to its fourth anniversary in Spain, and what an interesting four years it has been!

During this time, Spain has undoubtedly seen the most turbulent trading period experienced in most people’s living memory, what with the housing market almost coming to a standstill and people worrying about the economy and their job security. Even retired folk relying on overseas pensions have seen them eroded by worsening exchange rates.

We look back at the last four years and see how a small, independent furniture retailer managed to be one step ahead.

World of Sofas first came about after the owners, who had holiday homes on the Costa del Sol, needed to furnish them.

They both recognised immediately the lack of choice and competition within the marketplace. Every furniture shop they went into looked the same; they all had the same styles and, to be honest, the stock looked rather dated.

As seasoned furniture retailers

A fun day for all the family with stunning views from the outdoor terrace. which is great value for money. And for those who want to do it all, try one of the special offers, like a hot baguette, toasted sandwich or a burger, plus a drink which can be a beer or soft drink and the golf for just €7.50! Or now that winter is here, play of a game of mini golf and enjoy a hot bowl of homemade soup with bread and butter for just €5!

The family business, now in its 16th year, prides itself on its friendly service.

Owner Lynda Tyndale says: “Everybody who works here does it because they enjoy it.

“You can see it in the way we interact with people; no matter how old or young our customers are, we’ve got time to talk to them.”

Bar & Mini Golf is open from 10.30am every day, weather permitting, and in the summer months remains open until late.

And during the colder months, it closes at around 8pm, and 6pm during midwinter.

€500,000 STOCK CLEARANCE SALE NOW ON! themselves for many years back in the UK, and having had a chain of more than 140 successful stores, they decided to use their expertise here, too.

The first store was opened on the Mijas road nearly four years ago, followed a while later with a

larger store in Velez Malaga.

The idea was simple, to offer UK style furniture at the best possible price. The buyers travel all over the world sourcing

unusual and interesting pieces for the shops. As the name would imply, they stock retail sofas in fabric and leather; they also offer sofa beds, beds, garden furniture, BBQs, pictures, mirrors, rugs and all manner of accessories to liven up your home.

Similar to the fashion industry, they need to remain one step ahead to ensure that the models are regularly updated and remain fresh.

Hence the current €500,000 STOCK CLEARANCE SALE. General Manager Simon Scott explains: “As we are now coming to the end of another successful year, it is necessary to clean out the old and bring in the new.

We need to move the ex-display

models quickly to make way for all the new stock that will be arriving shortly. There is only one surefire way of turning stock into cash quickly and that is by slashing the prices. These are all ex-display models that are available for immediate delivery.

“So if you really want a bargain, then come and see us before they are all gone!”

Simon also feels very confident about the future. He comments: “I can really feel a change in the wind and people are feeling more optimistic. There are definite signs that the housing market is picking up again and this is exactly what we all need to get the economy moving again. I do think the future looks bright.”

World of Sofas can be found on the main road between Fuengirola and Mijas, also instore at Banderas Vivar opposite Lidl in Velez Malaga. Opening hours Mon–Sat 10am right thru until 8.30pm.

PIVE Plan gets an extension

THE SPANISH Government has announced it will extend the PIVE incentive programme to buy new cars.

The announcement came after the third phase of the plan came to an end.

The fourth phase of the PIVE programme will have an estimated budget of €70 million.

The PIVE plan was designed by the Spanish government to boost car sales.

Buyers receive a €2,000 discount when buying a new car - the price of which should not exceed €25,000 - in exchange for presenting a car at least 10 years old.

Although the discount is €2,000, the Government only grants €1,000

www.euroweeklynews.com

whereas the remaining €1,000 is provided by car dealers.

So far 220,000 people have benefited from the PIVE programme in its three phases.

The Minister for Finance Cristobal Montoro has stated this plan is part of the Government’s action to stimulate business competitiveness.

Montoro pointed out the motor industry is key to the economic recovery.

According to the Spanish Car and Lorry Manufacturers Association (Anfac), the whole of the programme’s phases have created an economic activity worth €3.4 billion.

Craftsmanship defines all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade AMERICAN manufacturer Cadillac introduced the all-new 2015 Escalade, a sport utility vehicle that brings craftsmanship and technology together.

Production for the 2015 Escalade begins in spring in Texas, with the release in European markets scheduled for the end of 2014.

Offered with 2WD and 4WD drivetrains, Escalade features a new 6.2 litre V-8 engine that is more powerful and more efficient than previous models.

Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control, a reacting suspension system unique to the manufacturer, is now standard, delivering precisely controlled driving performance.

The exterior features new sharp, complex surfaces

ESCALADE: Will hit the European market in 2014.

HANDCRAFTED: Interior featuring leather. accented by light-emitting diode (LED) lighting.

The fourth-generation Escalade interior features leather that is hand cut, sewn and wrapped, with wood trim options.

The new interior is also quieter, thanks to a stronger

new body structure and Bose Active Noise Cancellation technology.

CUE, Cadillac’s system for connectivity and control, is standard featuring voice recognition with touch controls common with the world’s most popular tablets and mobile

devices.

A standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster can be reconfigured with four themes and a head-up display projects information on to the windshield.

An available Blu-Ray DVD rear entertainment system includes a nine-inch, roofmounted screen.

Escalade’s technologies also include safety features to help protect occupants before, during and after a collision.

These include front and rear automatic braking, which relies on short-range radar technology and ultrasonic sensors to help the driver prevent front and rear lowspeed collisions via a progression of alerts that extend to complete braking.

On Saturday morning the club hosted a mini friendly tournament against teams from Malaga, Granada, Rugby Del Estrecho, Nerja, Motril and Jaen.

The idea was for the younger age group children to have fun and get used to playing in match situations.

That was followed by the Costa Gaels Gaelic football team, which has been training at Marbella Rugby Club on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings, hosting

Residents are invited to pop in to the Plaza de España from 10am where they will have the chance to donate money or food for the needy.

In addition, local gyms and sports centres including Studio 1, Academia Fama, Pilates Dinamics, Armonia Yoga y Meditacion, Tian Kung Chien and Academia de Baile Chase will promote their activities.

The Councillor for Foreign Residents, Katia Westerdahl, has encouraged the foreign residents in Fuengirola to take part in the event.

Marbella split the squad into

two balanced teams and both put on a great performance, winning all their matches.

The Spanish U19 and U18 squads came down to Marbella Rugby Club at 6pm on Saturday for their first training session at the club in preparation for the U19 European Championship and the U18 Elite Qualifications.

Skills improvement at Miraflores Bowling Club AN intensive training course for members of the Miraflores Bowling Club, led by John Carr, the coordinator for Malaga province Instructors Group, was held at Miraflores earlier this month.

Areas covered in training included; Casting the Jack - for improving weight, using other bowls in the head - for improving line, ‘Reading the Head’ and ‘Building the Head.’

During the break John Carr talked about the need for concentrating on specific skills improvement, rather than perpetual ‘roll ups,’ involving mainly drawing to the jack.

Gordon Adams, President of the Malaga Umpires and Markers group, then gave a brief dissertation on etiquette and some of the more important laws of the Lawn Bowling sport.

The rink marshalls were Barry Pemberton, Dennis Hanley, Garry Aldridge, Sue Walker and Terry Morgan.

In the U18 squad are three players from Marbella: Ryan Edwards, Christian King and Sam Parry.

On Sunday the newly put together Marbella seniors team hosted Almeria.

Marbella did extremely well dominating the scrum in the first half and line out for most of the match, with the open play being evenly matched.

But Almeria’s experience pushed them forward gaining three push over scores to win the match 3-19.

The seniors continue to grow and improve and anyone wishing to join the club socially or play for the team can contact the club secretary, Sarah on 692 061 982 or Senior coach Allan on 672 137 547 for details.

by naming Samuel alongside Mounir El Hamdaoui in attack, and the youngster had the first effort of the game when his shot was comfortably gathered by Diego Lopez.

Cristiano Ronaldo then had a great opportunity to put Madrid ahead on eight minutes when his attempt from the edge of the area came back off the crossbar, before Alvaro Morata, in for the injured Karim Benzema, had a header from Dani Carvajal’s cross ruled out for offside.

With the Costa del Sol outfit barely troubling the hosts, it was left to goalkeeper Willy Caballero to keep them in the game with some outstanding saves, denying both Angel Di Maria and Ronaldo from free-kicks, while the latter had the best chance of the half when he beat Caballero only to see the ball roll agonisingly wide of the far post.

Eliseu failed to find the target in a rare attack from the visitors just before halftime as they continued to frustrate Carlo Ancelotti’s men, but just four minutes
