Police winning the battle MORE than 315 foreign fugitives were arrested in Spain last year thanks to the work of the National Police in collaboration with the authorities in various countries. The Costa del Sol continues to be one of the favourite hiding places for international fugitives, and throughout last year and so far this year, 56 people have been arrested in the area by the

National Police Fugitive Location Group. They include drug traffickers, fraudsters, rapists, child abusers, robbers and forgers, mainly from the UK and Romania. In fact, more than 28 per cent of the detained fugitives were from the UK, which is not surprising as British expatriates are the most numerous on the Costa del Sol. Turn to Page 4

‘Venus’ to become Estepona’s symbol THE 5,000-year-old figure known as the ‘Venus of Estepona’ is to become the town’s symbol. The figure is on show at the Municipal Archaeological Museum and is the only one of its kind found during archaeological digs in Malaga Province. It is made of clay and was found in the Arroyo Enmedia area. It is believed to be an amulet or fertility symbol linked to rituals used in prehistoric times. The treasure was found in August 2011 amongst other objects including ceramic vases, arrowheads, stone axes, parts of a necklace and other stone items. The ‘Venus’ is five centimetres tall and represents the female form in simple shapes with no physical details.

Woman kills herself in jail A WOMAN, 60, has committed suicide in Alhaurin de la Torre prison after being arrested for failure to pay €3,784. Between 2011 and 2012, she was working as a housemaid and stole numerous items of gold jewellery from her employers, which she later sold. She was sentenced to six months in prison, and as she had no criminal record the sentence was suspended with the condition that she commit no further crimes and paid €3,784.34 in civil liability fees.

She was given 24 months to do so but in February, the public prosecutor was informed that she was not paying the fine and efforts to contact her had proved fruitless. Her lawyer declared that she had no means to pay and asked for the sentence to be changed for community work. This request was refused and a search and arrest warrant was issued. The woman was arrested at her home and was taken to prison the following day. Just five hours later she was found to have taken her own life.

Wanted man A MAN, 46, on the run from the Belarusian authorities since he stole 70 litres of fuel and threatened to shoot the man who caught him 20 years ago, has been arrested in Marbella. Better results SINCE 2008, when the financial crisis began, hotels on the Costa del Sol have reported better takings than those in Malaga City per available room, according to a recent study. Woman attacked A MAN, 45, has been arrested in Mijas for allegedly abusing his wife. The police were alerted by a neighbour who was harbouring the victim at his home. Abuser sentenced A MAN has been sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually abusing a mentally disabled woman at a care centre in Casabermeja, which his daughter also attended in 2009. Attempted break-in INTRUDERS attempted to break into the ITV (vehicle inspection) facilities in Antequera overnight but their efforts were unsuccessful.

Tasty treats made easy

IMES are changing and whereas Spanish housewives used to have time to prepare elaborate dishes, working women now need mealtimes to be quick and easy. However, the food industry is well aware of this and is coming up with ways to prepare traditional dishes which make life easier. One of the main components of the Spanish diet is ‘tortilla’ (Spanish omelette) but it takes time to prepare, which many don’t have. However, many companies already sell the ingredients in packets, ready to use, so that all that is required is to add some egg and prepare the omelette in a frying pan. If even this is too time-consuming, there are the ready-made versions, which can be prepared quickly in the pan or microwave. A popular treat for breakfast is ‘churros’ and Basque chef Andoni Luis Aduriz has come up with the idea of selling the dough pastry in spray form.

Quote of the Week It depends on the Ministry of Public Works, but I think it’s a good idea’ Mayor of Madrid, Ana Botella, regarding the possibility of naming the Madrid-Barajas Airport after recently deceased Adolfo Suarez, Spain’s first democratically elected prime minister after the Franco era.

The can then has to be shaken and sprayed straight into a frying pan with hot oil, and within minutes a family can be sitting down to enjoy a plateful of churros with a mug of thick hot chocolate. The traditional cold soups ‘gazpacho,’ ‘ajoblanco’ and ‘salmorejo’ can be found in many supermarket cold cabinets in cartons and ready to consume. Elsewhere in the cold cabinet you may find ‘boquerones en vinagre’ (filleted fresh anchovies in vinegar), ready-cut Manchego cheeses or Iberian ham, roast meats ready to serve, microwaveable ‘paella’ and even the refreshing ‘tinto de verano’ (red wine with lemonade) ready mixed and bottled. These are not only ways of making life easier for those in charge of preparing meals in Spanish homes, but also a way of obtaining more sales and making products easier to export, as the products become more accessible to a wider market.

Number of the week per cent of Spaniards shower for more than 10 minutes every day according to a study, which is well above the World Health Organisation’s recommendation of showering for less than five minutes, followed by only 9 per cent of the population.

Tax benefits LAWYERS in Marbella have suggested that changes to the tax regime should be made to benefit those foreigners who purchase properties costing more than €500,000.

Debt letters MIJAS Town Hall has announced that it will send letters to all taxpayers who have debts pending with the local administration.

Tourist train THE Tourism Committee of the Andalucian Parliament has expressed its support for plans to create a tourist train between Malaga and Fuente de Piedra.

And finally... THE mayor of El Pedroso, Sevilla, Manuel Melendez, has been charged with a crime against moral integrity for forcing a Local Police officer to wash his car, shouting insults at him, and taking his weapon, as well as cutting his salary.

Gun man detained A MAN who allegedly fired shots during an argument in Malaga has been arrested by the National Police. The shots were reportedly fired with a hunting rifle from inside a vehicle, but by the time police arrived on the scene, the shooter had fled. He was located attempting to get out of a car and enter a building, and refused to stop when ordered to do so, threatening the arresting officers with the weapon.

Food aid, not money THE Junta de Andalucia has announced that two meals handed out at schools to needy children will be substituted for money for their families. Some 20,000 schoolchildren in Andalucia benefit from the mid-morning and mid-afternoon meals and the provision will be maintained until the end of this term.

The Junta believes that giving financial grants to the families will provide more control on who is obtaining the aid, as well as helping children to get not only the food they need, but also other types of care. However, detractors of the scheme believe that the money could be used by some families for other purposes.

Police track down fugitives From Front Page Following the Brits are Romanians, Belgians, Argentinians, Moroccans and Dutch, although there have also been detainees over that period from Germany, Finland, the USA, Switzerland, Hungary, Nigeria, the Czech Republic,

Italy, France, Bulgaria, Estonia, Iran, Paraguay, Poland and one of the most recent, Belarus. The area is chosen due to its excellent connections by land, sea and air, the absence of frontiers with the EU, and its proximity with Africa.

She reversed over him as he lay on the ground. Staff took the womanâ€™s car keys from her but then returned them so she could move her vehicle from the exit, and she attempted to hit the victim a third time. She crashed into another vehicle and some rubbish containers. The victim remained in hospital for 13 days due to his injuries.

The couple had argued earlier that morning and the woman was suffering

The day after the fight, the accused gave the name of another man who he claimed committed the crime and even took the police to the knife. He claims that he only attempted to break up the fight but that the victims have mistaken him for the attacker, who allegedly fled the country. No-one has questioned this unknown second man, who is believed to have cut himself with the knife, and DNA tests have proved the blood does not belong to the accused.

when they were taken to the classroom where he was talking with two of the girls, they began to insult him before allegedly pushing him to the floor and kicking him. Teachers who heard the raucous came out of their classrooms to help, while others locked themselves in the teachers’ room in fear. The man was arrested by National Police and the victim was taken to hospital. A protest against this behaviour was held by teachers and pupils at the school, where the Head of Studies was almost attacked by a student just a week before and a teacher has been threatened and insulted recently.

Head attacked at Marbella school PROTESTING: Police had to use their batons.

Riot police clash with protestors in Madrid

SPANISH police clashed with protesters during an anti-austerity demo in Madrid that drew tens of thousands of people. Police have confirmed in a statement that six officers were injured during the clash and 12 people were arrested. Demonstrators from across Spain were protesting against government measures they claim have eroded Spain’s civil rights. Six columns of protesters, each one from a different region, arrived at the outskirts of the city before heading for Colon square. The demonstrators carried banners bearing the slogan ‘Marching for dignity.’

Near the end of the demonstration, during one of the final speeches, protesters attempted to break through a police barrier. It is believed that they intended to head towards the nearby headquarters of the governing conservative Popular Party. Since 2011, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and his government have brought in numerous austerity-driven tax hikes and cuts to government services . Protestors were throwing bottles and not backing down. This provoked riot police to charge the protesters and to use their batons to beat them back.

How one crime can Flamenco fashion show lead to another... TWO men, aged 30 and 20, were arrested in Malaga for stealing a mobile phone at knifepoint. The victim put an ad on a website to sell the phone for €600 and shortly afterwards, he got a call from someone interested in purchasing it and they agreed to meet. The buyer turned up accompanied and when the seller showed him the phone, he put it in his pocket while the other man threatened him with a knife. They then fled with the phone, but were identified and arrested near La Rosaleda football stadium. The robbery was reportedly in revenge because one of the detainees and a friend of the victim had argued in February over

a second-hand smartphone handed over with €150 in cash in exchange for a tablet PC which turned out to be a model. Once the person realised that, he demanded his money and the phone back, but the seller fled the area and the crime was not reported. The trickster called the former owner of the smartphone demanding the PIN code which, despite receiving threats, he never provided. Police found that the contact number used in the ad by the victim of the second robbery was the same number which was receiving the threats. The detainees were charged with robbery and threatening behaviour.

THE fourth ‘Benalmadena Flamenca’ fashion show was held at the Torrequebrada Hotel in Benalmadena, organised by Nueva Moda Producciones. The show included designs by well-known flamenco designers from Malaga Province, such as Flamenca Gomez, Jote Martinez and Guadalupe Moda Flamenca. It was presented by actress and model Elisa Guahnich and attended by members of the local council.

The problem has been identified at the Teatinos Campus of Malaga University, which Line 1 will cover. At the busy crossroads between the main boulevard and Calle Jimenez Fraud, there are already constant tailbacks at peak times. Add to this that every six or seven minutes, lights at a level crossing without barriers will turn red to allow the metro to pass above ground, and the problem becomes even worse. Vehicles, including ambulances, use this point to access faculties, the hospital and local neighbourhoods.

Garcia, said that the aim of attending the fair was to continue to promote Benalmadena as a family tourism destination with natural resources such as the sea and the mountains for active tourism. She was accompanied at the fair by the local councillor for Tourism, Adolfo Fernandez, and the President of the Costa del Sol Tourism Board, Elias Bendodo. She also pointed out that the number of German tourists who visited Benalmadena in 2013 had increased, and that they werenâ€™t only interested in the sun and beaches.

Coastal homes saved from demolition threat THOUSANDS of home owners including many expatriates - are breathing a sigh of relief after their seafront homes had a cloud of uncertainty lifted from them. Owners will be allowed to bequeath or sell homes and businesses which infringe Spain’s previous Coastal Law. The law was announced last year and the text has now been made public. New regulations annul a clause in the 1988 law warning that buildings and businesses on the 100-metre strip measured from the high tide mark would be demolished in 2018. Under the new law, the Environment Ministry confirmed that concessions are safe for another 75 years and authorisations for four more years. Thanks to the new law the right to remain in these properties is now transferable to third parties as a legacy or through a sale, with the proviso that Environment Ministry authorisation is obtained first. The ministry also has the right to widen the state-owned strip to 200 metres and veto construction of new homes or hotels.

Second phase of River Park FUENGIROLA Mayor Esperanza Oña has presented the project for the second phase of the River Park. Work will be carried out on a 74,420-square-metre area and the aim is to give it a more natural look and complete the conversion of the zone surrounding the Fuengirola River into a unique leisure space. As well as work at the river, there are a number of subsidiary projects, including an artificial pond for birds to nest, an aromatic park, a roundabout and lights with low energy consumption. The second phase will include areas for walking and relaxing, she explained, as well as a cycle lane, which will lead to the commercial centre. A third of the cost will be paid by the town hall and the work is due to take six months.

3 years for deaths of father and son A WOMAN has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison for killing a father and son in an accident outside a school in Malaga in November 2011. She is also banned from driving for six years and has to pay €500,000 to the victims’ family.

The public prosecutor maintained the woman was driving too fast and using her mobile phone, causing her to lose control of her vehicle and veer to the left. The vehicle ended up on the pavement on which a man and three of his children were walking and hit three of

them. The vehicle continued moving until crashing into a parked car. The father, 45, and one of his sons, seven, died and one of the other children was injured. A phone call to her husband was registered at exactly the time of the accident and lasted

16 seconds. Following the accident, he called her 11 times, which the court believes indicates that he was aware something had happened during the previous call. Her vehicle was in perfect working order and it was proved that she had not braked at any time.

Malaga CF Campus comes to town THE Malaga Football Club Campus 2014 will be held this summer in Antequera, Ronda, Velez-Malaga and Benahavis. At the end of June, the event will be held at the municipal sports centre in Benalmadena Pueblo and will have former Malaga players amongst the monitors.

There will also be visits from current Malaga players. The campus is aimed at children of between five and 15 years of age, who will be able to enjoy a great football experience from June 14 to 30, from 9am to 2pm. It will cost €200, with a discount of 25 per cent for

holders of the Benalmadena municipal sports board card. Former Malaga CF player, Isco, now with Real Madrid, is from Benalmadena, and the mayor said that this event may reveal future football stars, but that the most important thing was for the children to learn and enjoy the sport.

Illegal party watch LOCAL POLICE in Malaga are trawling social networking sites in an attempt to prevent an illegal celebration. The ‘Fiesta de la Primavera’ (Spring Party) is normally an excuse for youngsters to gather in the streets and drink large amounts of alcohol, which often leads to damage and fights.

Promoters could face fines of up to €5,000.

UNCERTAIN FUTURE: Observatory closure looms.

Observatory under threat

THE closure of the observatory at Calar Alto could cost almost €40 million. Worries about the observatory are at an all time high as, if it closes, the loss to the scientific community would be huge and the bill for its closure equally huge. Ricardo Hernandez, UGT delegate to Almeria, commented that dismantling the

observatory could cost up to €40 million as the government would be responsible not only for taking down the building but also for restoring the environment and surrounding countryside. Local town councils in the area have expressed their concern over the closure as it would mean the loss of one of Europe’s most important

scientific centres. Workers at the observatory feel they have their hands tied as they only have a budget of €1.6 million to do the necessary work to save the centre; this is not even half the money needed. The next few weeks will be decisive for the future of this scientific centre.

NEW RULES: Police can fine drivers for offences without pulling them over.

Pedestrian breath tests on the way BREATH tests for pedestrians, higher motorway speed limits and a total ban on speed camera detectors are just some of the new road laws passed by Spain’s Congress. Also on the cards is the compulsory wearing of cycle helmets for under 16s in urban areas and new rules to force foreign residents

Spanish tourist naked before Venus A SPANISH tourist, 25, caused a stir on social networking sites and in the press after undressing before a Botticelli painting in Florence, Italy. The unknown Spaniard was reported for obscene acts and later released with charges after entering the Galería degli Uffizi in Florence and undressing before the painting of The Birth of Venus on Saturday. He entered just like any other tourist, but once in front of the painting, he undressed, kneeled down and threw rose petals, according to witnesses. Museum guards immediately called the Carabinieri (police), who covered him with a blanket and took him to a station while he shouted “Freedom, freedom.” The museum director, Antonio Natale, confirmed that he had caused no problems and that nothing was damaged. The Italian press is questioning whether the Spanish tourist went mad or whether it was a demonstration of Spanish ‘art.’

Up until now they could only be made to take a test if they were involved in an accident. Congress decided to bring in new rules setting out deadlines for the registration of foreign registered cars, as it was proving difficult to track down their owners to pay fines. Police will also be able to fine drivers for offences without having to pull them over. If the rules are ratified, they are due to happen in June. Speed camera detectors are totally banned - if a car’s satnav has the facility it must be ‘disabled.’ The maximum speed limit on motorways would go up to 130 kph. But an anomaly which meant a minimum speed restriction (where drivers cannot travel below 50 per cent of the speed limit) applied to cyclists will be removed. It is said that steep hills were turning cyclists into law breakers on a regular basis. Editor Says: Page 44.

Rubbish disposal open longer FUENGIROLA will have a Municipal Refuse Disposal Spot five days a week at the fairground from April 1, from 8am to 2pm. In 2013, the service dealt with 1,500 kilos of

refuse, making it easier for local residents to dispose of large objects and items which cannot be thrown in rubbish containers. The Refuse Disposal

Spot opened in May 2012 at the fairground, and, at no cost to the municipal coffers, it will be available three more days. The service provides a vehicle with several containers for different domestic items which can

be dangerous to dispose of otherwise. She also said that it was totally free for people to use the service and dispose of paint, varnish, dissolvent, tyres, batteries, oil, bulbs, fluorescent items, x-rays,

medicines, white goods, phone and computer equipment, printer and photocopier cartridges. This prevents them from being disposed of in areas where they could cause damage, and means they can be recycled.

QROPS: Budget sets time limit Stephen Ward was a member of the UK Government’s Pensions Industry Working Group advising HMRC on the pensions’ legislation changes which introduced Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS) in the 2006 Finance Act.

IN one of the most radical budget announcements ever, the pensions industry was rocked by the revolutionary proposals announced by the Chancellor last Wednesday. The freedom to utilise pension funds as individuals see fit in the future, including the option to take all of the fund in cash from age 55 onwards, was something no one could ever imagine happening for UK pension funds. As space is limited I can only highlight some of the changes in this article but a more detailed factsheet is available by emailing bbrannan@prempensions.com The changes from March 27, 2014 1. For the over 60s, pension rights worth up to £30,000 may be taken in cash, but 75 per cent of the amount taken will be subject to UK tax. 2. The maximum income from

By Stephen Ward BA (Econ), ACII, APMI Managing Director, Premier Pension Solutions SL ‘capped drawdown’ increases from 120 per cent to 150 per cent of the amount available from an annuity. 3. If you have secure income of at least £12,000 p.a. then up to 100 per cent of your UK pension fund may be taken as a lump sum at age 55 or later, but will be taxed at your marginal rate. The proposed regime from April 2015 1. No changes in the way benefits may be taken for members of ‘defined benefit’ schemes, in the private or the public sector. 2. Members of UK defined contribution plans, (personal pensions and company money

purchase schemes), will be able to access unlimited amounts through ‘drawdown’ from age 55, but with UK tax payable at the marginal rate. 3. Public sector pension scheme members will not be able to transfer out to a defined contribution scheme, (which would include a QROPS), except in ‘exceptional circumstances’. 4. Members of private sector defined benefit pension schemes will probably also not be able to transfer out to a defined contribution scheme, once again ‘except in exceptional circumstances’. 5. Reducing the 55 per cent special lump sum death benefit charge, but to an unknown level of tax.

Defined Benefit Scheme members must make decisions soon. The revelation that the new flexibility in how benefits may be taken will not be available to members of Defined Benefits Schemes, both public and private sector, as they are for personal pension plans, SIPPs, and other money purchase type arrangements, is something some scheme members may find unfair. So these proposals will prompt many expats to act now, whilst they still can. Where personal circumstances and investment philosophy are appropriate, a transfer to a QROPS before April 2015 will provide the ability to access higher lump sums at outset,

flexible income levels, investment control and better benefits on death and above all tax certainty.

Take care... W

ATCH out if you like a drink! Proposed new traffic laws will give police the power to breath test jaywalking pedestrians. Up until now police could only do that if the pedestrian was involved in a road accident. But now anyone crossing the road where they shouldn’t will be liable to take a test for alcohol and drugs. That is a step too far (excuse the pun). Surely there are enough laws against drunkenness and unruliness without having to resort to alcohol tests at the drop of a hat. There is no need to suspect someone of being drunk - just taking a step onto the road would be enough to have the police descend with their alcohol meters. And on the crowded and often narrow pavements found in many Spanish towns and villages it can be nearly impossible to avoid stepping into the road. It is a charter for harassment of

people who have done nothing wrong and a sign of officialdom’s instinct to criminalise otherwise law-abiding people.

Coastal good news THOUSANDS of owners of beachfront properties built within 100 metres of the high water mark blighted with the threat of demolition, can sleep a little easier now. The new coastal law means they can now sell or pass on as bequests their homes, and has removed the imminent threat of demolition (scheduled for 2018). The old law had effectively made those homes - many already built quite legally - illegal. So some good news, but why do the Spanish authorities insist on putting many innocent people in such a distressing position in the first place? It is bad for tourism, bad for investment, and bad for the country.

Granada cave dwellers evicted SIX cave houses in the Sacromonte area of Granada were evacuated after they were ruled by the city hall as being in danger of collapsing. More than 50 police officers blocked off all entrances and accesses to the Cerro de San Miguel area where the houses are located, and one person was arrested for resisting the authorities and injuring an officer. When the police were leaving, they had to charge as a group had gathered to prevent them from accessing their

vehicles and stones were thrown at them. Seven people were removed from their homes at the end of a legal process which began last autumn when eight cave houses were declared dangerous. The cave dwellers appealed and stopped the first attempt to evict them in December. After they left, a group began working with spades to open up the caves which had been closed.

Ono says yes to Vodafone VODAFONE has finally pulled off its deal with Spanish telecommunications’ company Ono. The €7.2 billion that the UK-owned company hands over for Ono is the largest acquisition by a foreign company in Spain since 2008. Ono, with 1.9 million clients in 12 autonomous regions, is the country’s largest cable company and has its own high-speed fibre optic network. Based on both companies’ figures in late 2013, Vodafone’s presence on Spain’s broadband market will grow from 7.5 per cent to 21 per cent. Acquiring Ono’s 1.1 million

mobile clients will increase its share of this market from 24.8 per cent to 26 per cent.

Vodafone, which earned $130 billion (approximately €93 billion) from the sale of its US division last year, is also rumoured to be on the verge of making another big purchase. This time it is looking towards the UK with TalkTalk, the no-longer state owned BT Group and BSkyB possibly in its sights.

Catalan cava is still fizzing CATALUÑA’S desire for independence might be unpopular but its cava sales remain buoyant. Despite boycott calls, global sales of Catalan cava fell by only 0.77 per cent to 241.3m bottles in 2013 with a €970 million turnover similar to 2012. Sales in the domestic market fell by 0.47 per cent, an improvement on 2012 when they dropped by

6.28 per cent. The effects of the politically-inspired boycott outside the region have diminished, sources said. The crisis, they continued, exerted a greater influence on sales and although two out of every three bottles are sent abroad, falling exports, particularly to the UK - were important. CAVA: Sales buoyant.

Private money for Renfe STATE railway operator Renfe is looking for private money for its freight service. An investor will be sought through public tender, announced minister of Public Works, Ana Pastor. This will be a ‘positive step’ for all types of freight transport, Pastor maintained, while optimising Spain’s network of steadily improving track and its good geo-strategic position. Opening the door to private investment will arrive once the state operator makes the transition to a holding of four subsidiaries: the Renfe Viajeros passenger service, Renfe Mercancias (freight), Renfe Fabricacion y Mantenimiento (manufacture and maintenance) and Renfe Alquiler de Material Ferriviario. This fourth division which is due to be created in April will lease trains to private operators, Pastor explained. These will eventually compete with Renfe both for the passenger and freight service, she confirmed.

How to close the sale

LOSING a sale is stressful for most salesmen and women. Many sales books claim to offer the key to unlocking the secrets of closing a sale. These tend to confuse the reader and make matters worse. Many a grown man loses it when they come to ask for the order. I was able to reach the close in 30 minutes unless the client asked questions. However, I could not figure out why one sales person was taking up to two hours to explain his product. He couldn’t close. The best advice I ever received on closing a sale could have been written on the back of my business card. ‘Ask for the order.’ Closing the sale really is that simple, so why make a dog’s breakfast out of it. There is, however, one trick that will substantially increase your success rate when closing. Clients are as hesitant of making a decision as the salesman is in asking for the

CLOSING: Best to use the ‘either this or that’ method. the order but use instead the ‘either this or that’ close. When asking for an appointment the best approach is to suggest, “I have an hour Monday morning or Wednesday afternoon. Perhaps an hour in the evening might be better?” It is difficult to say no to that proposal. The order pad should be on the desk long before you reach this point.

Chasm separates rich and poor THE gulf between Spain’s rich and poor is growing wider. In January, Spain’s Oxfam-Intermon warned that Spain’s 20 greatest fortunes are worth €77 billion equivalent to the earnings of the country’s poorest 20 per cent. The following month Fundecas, the Cajas de Ahorro (savings banks) think-tank, drew attention to the northsouth divide between Spain’s richest and poorest regions.

In the third month of the year comes a third alert, this time from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The effects of the economic crisis on the richest and the poorest 10 per cent are more marked in Spain than in any other OECD member country, the organisation announced recently. The wealthiest 10 per cent barely noticed Spain’s double dip recession, with a 1 per cent drop in annual earnings between 2007 and 2010. Wages for the poorest 10 per cent fell by 14 per cent a year during the same period. The OECD report placed Italy’s rich-poor divide as the second-greatest after Spain’s but while its wealthiest 10 per cent also saw incomes fall by 1 per cent, they fell by only 4 per cent each year for the lowest earners. Spain’s high incomes were 13 times greater in 2010 than the lowest, the OECD found, compared with a 9.4 average. In contrast, the organisation compared the Spanish figures with Iceland’s where the earnings of the richest 10 per cent shrank by an annual 12 per cent and the poorest by 8 per cent. The OECD did not hesitate to identify the root of Spain’s problem. Public aid is not directed towards those most affected by the crisis, according to the report. “Social spending destined for relatively prosperous families is higher than in most other EU countries,” it claimed.

The same rules apply when asking for the order. Always have an Option B to hand. “I think this plan would best suit your needs but the cheaper plan B is a good deal too. Which do you prefer?” That close is also difficult to say no to. I have seen salespersons double and treble their sales simply by using the ‘either this or that’ close.

Wine industry must look abroad to grow THE SPANISH wine industry needs to look abroad if it wants to grow. That is according to a report by Rabobank called La Mancha in the Middle. It says that recent EU support programmes have improved the efficiency in Spanish wine production, but oversupply remains an issue. “While Spain has seen marked improvements in its wine production efficiency as a result of EU subsidies, it still struggles to build penetration in non-EU markets”, states Rabobank analyst, Stephen Rannekleiv. “In conjunction with grubbing-up subsidies, Spain was also a major recipient of vineyard restructuring funds which

has raised yields and is expected to lead to an increase in wine in the market. “A pressing concern for many is that much of this increased production is destined for markets already dealing with their own oversupply issues, such as France and Italy.” While these EU markets will remain important destinations for Spanish bulk wine, the industry must focus efforts on building market demand outside the EU, he added. Spain will need to build stronger brands in international markets, and adopt a more consumer-driven marketing focus which will require continued improvement of grower and brand owner alignment, said the report.

Singer Amy Wine house, fashion designer Alexander McQueen, actor Heath Ledger - it’s not as though these people were out begging on the street, quite the opposite, they had loads of money, but that didn’t seem to mean that they were happy.

I Law in Spain have captured many examples of bad By David Searl driving, including a large motor-cycle doing a ‘wheelie’ at speed through a red light, a fully loaded coach going through a red light, and cars overtaking on solid white lines. These incidents were recorded onto a memory chip, and transferred to my laptop, which was viewed by friends and family. My aim was to set up a Facebook page to show incidents of bad driving. The images would also be evidence if I am involved in any ‘incident.’ Is any part of the above illegal? T.H. (Torrevieja) A. Yes, practically all of it is illegal. Spain’s law of data protection is quite strict, as we mentioned. There is no law against having the cameras mounted in your car. However, if you record the images and show them to anyone in any form, you have committed an invasion of privacy under the law and you can be subject to severe fines. Further, these images are not admissible as evidence in court. The only strictly ‘legal’ cameras are those fitted in some new cars which basically act as expanded rearview mirrors. Many experts feel these Dashcams would be very useful and are opposed to the law as it stands.

Madrid landmark could go to China’s richest man SANTANDER BANK, owners of Edificio España, hope to sell the iconic Madrid building. According to El Mundo newspaper, Wang Jianlin, China’s richest man, has offered €260 million for the 1953 tower block that was once Spain’s tallest building. Wang Jianlin is president and founder of the Dalian Wanda group, a Chinese real estate, hotels, tourism and entertainment conglomerate. He is worth €16.630 billion and showed interest in Edificio España during a recent visit to Spain at the invitation of Atletico de Madrid football club. The building, which formerly included an hotel, shopping centre, apartments, offices and a rooftop swimming pool, was bought by Santander in 2005 for approximately €389 million. Plans to demolish all but the principal facade and replace the original with luxury flats and shops were later shelved. Investors from China, Brazil and Mexico are also rumoured to be interested in the 1953 building, sources close to the sale process maintained. No firm offers have been received, they added, and

The little things that mean so much IT is very rare for someone to stand out in such a busy environment as this. However, I feel you ought to know that you have an outstanding employee within your organisation. I do not know the name of this gentleman but I am sure you will be able to work out who delivers the newspapers to our school. There are three things that make this gentleman stand way above all others. He ALWAYS smiles. I only had to ask him once to pass me one of the papers and he does this every single time without asking! He always removes the white plastic strips that keep the papers together. This makes all the difference as people don’t have to struggle with these strips which normally tear the papers.

I WAS very amused when I saw these young men on the beach in Los Boliches, who appeared to be enjoying an evening game of volleyball with the moon.

Colin Smyth, Fuengirola, Malaga.

Big time fraud WELL said Nora Johnson! How refreshing to see an article which tells it like it is, not as most of the media and the current UK government portray it. It is high time the spotlight was turned on the very wealthy tax evaders/avoiders, also private landlords. They are costing the economy billions more than those on benefits, the majority of whom are in low paid jobs which do not pay a living wage.

WHEN YOU WRITE All letters, whether by email or post, should carry the writer’s postal address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published. Letters may also be edited. Readers who have missed earlier correspondence can see all letters posted on:

It is also worth noting that only £1 billion of benefits are lost to fraud compared to £70 billion lost through tax evasion/ avoidance. Thank you Nora, keep up the good work. M. Brannigan, Vera Playa (Almeria)

Double meaning I’VE just noticed that the Ryvitastyle crispbread that I’ve been enjoying recently as a low calorie substitute for ordinary bread is, in fact, called Knackerbrod. Now I confess to not having a great knowledge of the Teutonic tongue but I do know that ‘brod’ means bread in English and many German words are similar to ours. So just what have I been eating?

bills should have been sent to him/her. Would she make further contact in 15 days to confirm or otherwise? Movistar were contacted again but, naturally, a different staff member took the call and said that €25.31 had been credited in error to my friend’s bank account and they (Movistar) tried to reclaim it but the bank had refused. Movistar stated that the bills were sent direct to my friend’s address as they had no other means of reclaiming any money. No refund is shown on her bank statement. Our interpreter has now been told that €23.19 should be paid to Movistar but for what and as a result of an error by whom? P H, Almayate, (Malaga)

All at sea THE municipal indoor swimming pool in Huercal Overa (Almeria) closed on July 31, 2013 and I read in your newspaper a few weeks ago that the mayor there was hoping to get it reopened very soon. I was a paid-up member of the pool and used it at least three times a week for therapy after having several bone problems. There is absolutely nowhere near us that has an indoor pool and goodness knows when, or if ever, the brand new one in Albox will open. Work restarted on this one two weeks ago and then the Guardia Civil shut the works down. Again, no information anywhere and in the town hall the staff just shrug their shoulders. Tina Turpie (By email)

Opening date GREAT news about the reopening of Cine Paz in Gata (Alicante). We spent many a good Wednesday evening there. Have you any more details regarding the opening? Hopefully they will have a website where we can check the programme. Ray and Wendy, Alcalali (Alicante)

Unsackable IN ‘Lessons to be learnt’ (Issue 1497) Mr McBride fails to understand the underlying cause of Spain’s high unemployment. Spain, along with France, has stringent employment regulations which have created an inflexible labour market. Put another way, Spanish companies cannot lay off employees as easily as UK companies. The French in particular argue that job security is fundamental to safeguarding family life and the social structure of the country. A legitimate argument, some might say, especially for those already in work but not so good if you are looking for employment. It means that companies must be absolutely certain of their future prospects before recruiting new staff because of the difficulties of dismissing them should their business take a downturn. Spanish companies are therefore reluctant to take the same risks as they would in the UK and USA. Much is said of freeing up the labour market here but precious little has been achieved. Ken Bethell, Puerto de Mazarron (Murcia)

On the track IT’S not rocket science and it’s not brain surgery (although it would seem that the latter is needed). Regarding the vanishing Malaysian airline, two things come to mind. Why isn’t every aircraft fitted with a small, floatable electronic device (in case it ditches in water) that breaks away and emits a signal that satellites pick up, pinpointing the position of the incident within 50 metres or so? Secondly, all aircraft are fitted with a device that shows where it is in the sky. What reason should there ever be for it to be disabled by anyone on board the aircraft? This is a stupendously stupid arrangement and no-one can convince me that it is necessary. Keith Hallam, Blackpool (UK)

OPINION & COMMENT LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

DO get fed up with people telling me I’m merely being paranoid when I discuss the decline of the UK and its society. These people (and I’m delighted to say there are now far fewer than in the past!) seem to forget, that in my dual role as a working entertainer and columnist, I speak and am contacted by a tremendous number of so called ‘ordinary folk,’ from all walks of British life. I can tell you quite categorically, they are all now totally peed off with what is happening to our once great country. They are sick of the leniency shown toward criminals, they are sick of the laws and ‘human rights’ favouring ethnic and other minorities. They are sick of the ghettos, embedded like cancerous tumours in most of their great cities. They are sick of piddling bureaucrats.

Because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you...

IN DECLINE: The attitude of the British public is changing. They are sick of being ruled by decisions made in other countries and they are heartily sick of Islamic bigots who seem to be able to get away with just about anything. The tolerant mood of the British public is undoubtedly changing. People are

beginning to speak out. Most have been quiet up to now; almost afraid to air their views in case of being accused of bigotry or racism. Well no more. And why shouldn’t they, when the ranting of their enemies (and believe me, they

are enemies) are not only allowed to be aired just about anywhere, but also when they contain blatant, hate provoking anti-British rhetoric, are punished by a mere slap on the wrist? If that level of incitement was aired in public by a member of the BNP they would be undoubtedly thrown in jail. In my cabaret spot, I have a couple of fairly light digs at the ‘changing face’ of Britain. When I first used the remarks they were met mainly by an almost fearful silence. As time went on the odd chuckle was the result. Over a period the chuckles turned into unchecked laughter. The same remarks are now greeted not only by laughter, but often applause.

A more accurate barometer for the changing attitude of the British public would be hard to imagine. I think one of the reasons for the disquiet is because, even with Cameron’s declarations, not much has changed. I suggest Dave and the team start speeding up the instigation of a few of their election promises, before a thoroughly fed up British public begin to take to the streets. If that happens then the prophecies of Enoch Powell may finally come to pass, coupled with finding Mr Farage and colleagues posing on the steps of Number 10! Have a good week. Try to lend a helping hand. and whatever ya do, always keep the faith Love Leapy Leapylee2002@gmail.com

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (Film, 2003) After waking up from a coma, a female contract killer known only as The Bride (Uma Thurman, pictured) is devastated to learn that she is no longer pregnant with the child she carried before the incident that landed her in hospital. Switching between flashbacks and the present day, the film follows The Bride's mission for revenge. She escapes from hospital, visits Japan in search of a new sword, and tracks down the people who betrayed her, including their leader Bill (David Carradine). The highlight of the film takes place in a crowded restaurant in Japan where The Bride is pitted against former partner O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) and her personal army.

Montessori fundraiser held in Audrey Hepburn’s magnificent former home M

ARBELLA Montessori School recently held a Fundraiser and Charity Gala Evening to inaugurate their new facility, previously owned by Audrey Hepburn. The property itself is truly wonderful and worthy to be celebrated. It actually used to be owned by Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrers in the 1960s when they lived in Marbella and regularly frequented the Marbella Club Hotel. For a school offering ‘natural and inspired education’ in the Montessori style, the property offers all that a small school could possibly desire, including ample inside rooms, large manicured gardens comprised of woodland, orchard, organic vegetable plot, and grassed areas. The Gala itself, attended by

GREAT SUCCESS: Fundraiser and Charity Gala Evening. parents, local businesses, the press and TV, was a great success. The auction and raffle helped

raise money for the new school and for the night’s selected charity, UNICEF. In all more than €7,000 was

raised during the event. Marbella Montessori School has been proud to offer

excellent care and education for children up to the age of six years following the Montessori and British National Curriculum. Its students follow in the footsteps of others educated the Montessori way, including HRH Prince William and Harry, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and former US President Bill Clinton. And the latest good news is that the school is now able to offer British primary education for children up to 11 years as of April 2014. Marbella Montessori School is scheduled to launch classes in its new facility in San Pedro (near Barcelo Hotel, Guadalamina) in May.

Chocolate pill to undergo trials

CHOCOLATE pills are to be tested to see if they can help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Cocoa flavanols have already been shown to improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels, but the benefit of flavanols are usually destroyed in the processing of making chocolate. However, now manufacturers have found a way to extract the nutritional benefits of cocoa and are ready to test their benefits. Previous studies have suggested that cocoa flavanols could help dementia sufferers. A study of 18,000 people will be

carried out. Participants will get dummy pills or two capsules a day of cocoa flavanols for four years and the results analysed, and neither they nor the study leaders will know who is taking what during the study.

Reasons behind bad breath

BAD breath is estimated to affect half the population at some point and is usually caused by an excess of bacteria in the mouth. Normally, simple brushing and good oral hygiene can alleviate the problem, but bad breath can also be a result and sign of other conditions: Too much stress. When stressed the nervous system kicks in and the production of saliva stops, making the mouth dry which can make bad breath worse. Saliva stones. Another cause of bad breath are saliva stones blocking the salivary glands which form when food debris reacts

with chemicals in the saliva, crystallising into a stone. Bacterial infection. Any bacterial infection of the nose, mouth or throat, can lead to bad breath. Certain rare cancer cells also have an odour and are more easily infected than ordinary cells so when they occur in the nose, throat, tonsils or larynx it can smell when breathing out. Mouthwash. People use mouthwash assuming it will freshen breath, but some containing alcohol can do the opposite as it dries the mouth out making bad breath worse. Eating too much protein. Lots of protein can result in bad breath.

Serenity House is there to help ‘One of the world’s Top 10 rehab centres,’ according to Global Healthcare Magazine!

OUNDED in 1999, Serenity House is the longest established English-speaking treatment centre in Spain and was recently identified as one of the world’s top 10 rehab centres by Global Healthcare Magazine. Four years ago, Chris Spencer and Anita Cragen took over the centre and its reputation quickly grew, given Chris and Anita’s passion about recovery. The centre helps people with all sorts of addictions including cocaine, sex, gambling and drugs. Chris has worked in addiction for more than 20 years and Anita is a 12-step therapist who had been in recovery for over 10 years and has since helped hundreds of individuals to recover. Though they can house up to 12 clients, they accommodate only five at a time, making treatment exclusive to each client.

SERENITY HOUSE: Clients come from all walks of life to seek help. Serenity House offers full board accommodation; clients also have access to their own kitchen. Facilities are modern, with the latest multi-media technology and in a comfortable setting. The programme is dynamic

and statistics of recovery are high. After admission, the client is assessed and given a timetable, after which a flexible programme is mapped out, changeable according to progress made.

It is important that the client has a clear idea of the stages of the recovery process, a process that may save their life in the future. As a world leader in the 12step programme of recovery, Serenity House has been

sought after and has worked in various parts of the world. Clients have said: “I arrived lonely, scared and sceptical. “A month later I am leaving having re-found the person I had lost. I am happy, strong and looking forward to enjoying life.” (Kate, UK) “As someone highly sceptical of the idea of rehab, Serenity House has convinced me… I feel as if I have rid myself of all the weight I have been carrying most of my life.” (Jean, France) Serenity House’s clients come from all walks of life all over the world with one thing in common: the inability to stop using drink or drugs combined with the desire to seek expert help.

Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com HAMMER TOES is the term used to describe toes that buckle or curl under, usually because of a muscle imbalance or tight tendons. Over time, these toes may hurt and make movement more difficult and there is often discomfort at the top part of the toe due to rubbing against the shoe. Hammer toes vary in severity and in number of joints and toes involved. In general, any of the toe joints can buckle except the big toe and may be either flexible or rigid, a flexible joint may become rigid with age. You can straighten a flexible hammer toe with your fingers and, although they look painful, flexible hammer toes may not hurt. A rigid hammer toe cannot be moved, even with the help of the fingers. Rigid joints may cause pain and distort foot movement putting extra stress on the ball of the foot. Symptoms do not usually start until the problem is well established. They are often first noticed when a corn develops on the top of the toe and becomes painful, usually when wearing tight shoes. There may also be a bursa under the corn or instead of a corn, depending on the pressure. Most of the symptoms are due to pressure from footwear on the toe as it buckles. Hammer toes can be due to a number of things. Several factors are known to increase the risk of developing hammer toes: • Hereditary • Arthritis • Tight footwear.

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

H ex a g r a m

Run time is 125 minutes and is rated PG 13.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Your efforts to get your message across might be best delayed for seven days. Fickle Venus and flighty Mercury will cross swords with other planets, so keep your ideas and emotions grounded. Take nothing for granted on Tuesday, and don't agree to anything without the facts.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) You will see the advantage of working towards a new location, or even a specific makeover for your domestic scene. Either way, wait for a further green light, especially where money’s concerned. Monday and Thursday are delicate days, so play it cool. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Refuse to be miffed by whatever disagreements or difficulties clutter your world. The sooner you get on with things, the better for your peace of mind. Even this week's affrays and dismays are simply passing clouds. Put yourself first, and things will start to change. There’s no telling what might occur, especially if you explore new options. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Move forward on this week’s positive waves of optimism. Treat yourself, but don’t over-indulge your temptations. The planets aren’t dancing to all your wants and desires. If certain situations or individuals seem complicated, wait until the dust settles, then follow your hunches. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) There's a saying that if it doesn’t rain, it pours, so keep an umbrella of humour to hand. April is around the corner, and with it, a much happier trend for your workaday, social and financial prospects. Strive through this showery emotional week, and the sunshine will surely follow. Meanwhile, focus on the now.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Don’t jump from one financial frying pan into another. Take it easy on all fronts, especially where your money, emotions and other people's moods are at odds with your ideas. There will be more than one good reason to compromise a little.

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Important things are signalled by the stars. There are gains to be made in many different areas. Just keep believing things will work out for the best for you and they will.

March 28: Duquesa de Alba. Aristocrat. Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart y Silva is the 18th Duchess of Alba de Tormes. Best known for her outspoken attitude, she is the third woman to carry the title in her own right. According to Guinness World Records she has more recognised titles than any other noble in the world.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Scanning the rest of the starsigns, you’ll see that you have many things in common this week: challenging influences at work and play, and during other clogging capers. Unexpected events, finances, or the usual everyday frustrations could pile on the pressure.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) The full moon in your own sign is a powerful ally against this week’s planetary fracas. Speak from the heart and reject any ambiguous emotional games. It's the only way to clear the air and truly know where you're heading.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’re not the only member of the zodiac who’ll have to toughen up. It’ll pay you to chill on Tuesday, be patient on Wednesday, and put your potent insights into orbit throughout the weekend. Although certain set arrangements are liable to veer off track, some discussions and shared commitments are slowly but firmly improving.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) There’s a financial theme to many of your plans and ideas. Above all, spend with care and examine all offers carefully. Rely on your sixth sense, especially where close-to-you matters are concerned. Give more thought to what you hope to have achieved in 12 months from now. Be patient, especially over personal stresses and strains.

March 31: Ewan McGregor, 42. Movie actor. Best known for his role in the Star Wars prequel trilogy he also starred in British classic Trainspotting. April 1: Susan Boyle, 52. Singer. Gained worldwide recognition after singing ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ during an audition for Britain’s Got Talent. April 2: Linford Christie, 53. Olympian. British runner and Olympic gold medallist in the 100 metres at the 1992 Barcelona games. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Your emotions, extra expenses and other domestic pressures are on the boil. Put off major decisions until next week. Meanwhile, loosen up, walk into some creative space, and if necessary, talk to someone who understands your ups and downs. There are good things waiting to happen, so refuse to lose your nerve. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) It’s both a vertical and horizontal week. What goes right somewhere could easily go wrong elsewhere. Sensitive Venus conspires with touchy Mars to trigger tensions and troubles. If you're aware of where others are coming from, you'll be fine. You’ll have fun, but don't let your spending splurges rule your head on Wednesday or Saturday.

The cylinders were made first of paraffin paper and later of metallic foil.

She isn’t a fan of Spain’s national dish either: “I dislike paella, the rice is just too mushy.” Steve Cambridge was out enjoying a beer on the terrace of a local bar in Mijas Costa (Malaga) where he talked about his childhood hatred for tomatoes. “When I was a kid you couldn’t bribe me with enough money, candy or toys to get me to eat tomatoes.

MANZANARES: World’s first Manchego museum.

Manchego museum THE town of Manzanares, in Ciudad Real, houses the world’s first and, so far, only museum dedicated to Manchego cheese: the Museo del Queso Manchego de Manzanares. Manchego is a hard cheese made from sheep’s milk, aged for between 60 days, for the lighter versions, and two years for the stronger, more ‘curado,’ versions. The colour of the cheese varies from white to ivory-yellow and the inedible rind, a brownish beige. Manchego has a distinctive flavour, well developed but not too strong, creamy with a slight piquancy - it leaves an aftertaste characteristic of sheep’s milk.

The town council of Manzanares hopes that the museum, located in the old part of town, will become a tourist attraction not just for foreigners but also for national fans of this variety of cheese. The museum is aiming to be a dynamic, interactive space in which there will be, among other events; tasting evenings, sales of the cheese, audiovisual aids to help visitors understand the process, information about the flocks of sheep (where and what they eat and drink), and even recipes which are based on Manchego cheese.

Doctors propose a ban on advertising for fast foods

THE Royal Academy of Medicine (RAM) in the UK has asked for similar bans on junk food advertising to those in place for tobacco. Doctors reason that as both are bad for the health they should be treated in the same way. One in four adults in Britain are obese and a third of children are overweight warns a report from the RAM urging that something be done. This is in line with the recommendations from the recent World Health Assembly and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Experts are asking politicians for more laws to regulate the fast food industry. The deregulation and globalisation of markets have extended obesity. Even in developing countries the diet is changing from mainly cereals to one high in fats, sugars and processed foods.

UNHEALTHY: Just like cigarettes.

TRADITIONAL: Chorizo and bean stew.

A seal to promote local food

At the World Health Assembly, the 194 state members agreed on a plan to try and control and prevent obesity, an epidemic that is spreading quickly in developed countries. The situation is considered so serious that the WHO is asking

politicians in all member countries to bring about legislation to regulate the fast food industry. Through this the WHO is hoping to combat not just obesity but the many other, related afflictions including diabetes, cardiac illnesses and cancers.

THE regional government of Navarra has come up with an idea to protect and promote traditional local food. Its Culture and Tourism department is now issuing the Navarra Food seal to restaurants with at least 30 per cent of local dishes in their menus. The food from Navarra has been historically linked with its location within Spain. In the north of the region, which borders with

the Basque Countries, products like Idiazabal cheese, cider and goxua (a dessert made with sponge cake, cream and custard) are traditional. The south part of the region, however, is noted for its vegetable stews, asparagus and zurracapute. To be awarded the Navarra Food seal, restaurants have to prove they have been offering traditional food for at least five years.

Chic restaurant with live flamenco next to theatre V

INO MIO is a delightfully chic restaurant with excellent food, gorgeous presentation and great prices. Run by Helene Mostertman, a whirlwind of a woman with heaps of hospitality experience on the Costa del Sol and indeed around the world, from Curacao to southern France to New Zealand, Belgium and Holland. When Helene arrived in Spain 11 years ago she said to herself, “This is it, I’ll stay here.” Her desire was to open a place that was chic, with a wonderful terrace and a creative kitchen that would stand out against Malaga’s traditional eateries. Since then she has experienced wonderful success with Vino Mio, a stylish restaurant fabulously located right next to Malaga’s Teatro Cervantes. One thing that stands out is Vino Mio’s live flamenco every night! For a supplemental €4, guests enjoy an informal, inviting show from 8:00pm-9:30pm. And unlike other flamenco shows where the dancing is the main attraction, at Vino Mio the food is

STYLISH: With excellent food and friendly ambiance. truly excellent, so clients get the best of both worlds and for very reasonable prices!

The couscous pyramid tapa with fresh veg, lemon and mustard dill sauce with a skewer of gorgeous grilled prawns sitting atop it was simply delicious.

In asking Helene what she was excited about for 2014, her eyes lit up as she talked about her upcoming project: Barrio Picasso. A conglomerate of 150 downtown businesses, including in the Plaza de la Merced, Barrio Picasso aims to become a distinctive barrio of Malaga “We have loads of museums, it’s a lovely part of the city,” Helene exclaimed. “With Barrio Picasso we want to maximise what we have here.” With its excellent food and unique classy but friendly ambiance, you won’t want to miss a drink, a night of tapas or a full dinner at Vino Mio, in the heart of the forthcoming Barrio Picasso.

HUMBLE: But making a comeback.

Artichokes and edible flowers

FOR a long time flowers that people noticed when eating were on the table not on the plate. Then came stuffed courgette flowers that some people were a little suspicious of but ate anyway; then there was a new gastronomic movement to include garden flowers in everyday cooking. Now there is yet another gastronomic movement trying to bring the humble artichoke to prominence. The artichoke is a variety of thistle, Cynara scolymus, which origin is unknown but was mentioned in Sicilian recipes as early as 1432. In order for an artichoke to look like a flower on a plate it must be fried in moderately hot oil so that its leaves splay out but it shouldnâ€™t be fried long or it will lose its delicate flavour.

The owners have been very selective and tried not to have two stalls with similar products. Among food on offer at the specialised stands will be: seafood, roast chicken, pies, delica-

tessen items, cocktails and olive oils. The market also has a terrace where customers can enjoy their food in the open air with views out to the Guadalquivir River.

FOOD & DRINK

Wine drinkers must be tempted by the contents BULLS with human faces instead of labels, black bottles with just a large white number on them; these are just some of the marketing techniques being used by the wine company Vintae - one of the more modern Spanish vintners. Vintae are also one of the companies responsible for the proliferation of web points of sale, wine blogs, social networking sites dedicated to wine, designer labels and modern bottles. Ricardo Arambarri, the face of Vintae and a native of Rioja, comments that the industry has undergone many changes recently

including the ‘education’ of the end consumer through blogs and websites. He goes on to say that, in the past, the consumer simply drank table wine as a matter of course, but now wine is associated with more celebratory occasions and therefore demands a more specific marketing technique. This new marketing method must tempt the consumer not only with an attractive label but also with sumptuous descriptions of the contents of their bottle. At Vintae they are working on marketing to different demographics in order to capture a variety of markets.

Let’s brighten up the apartment blocks Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner By Dick Handscombe Spain’s best known expat gardening author about to start his 26th winter cut back.

HEN I first came to the Spanish costa for a holiday in 1960 the number of tourists and apartment blocks were rather fewer than today, as were the prices of restaurant meals and drinks. Indeed the unexciting hotel tourist food was forgotten each evening to enjoy real Spanish hospitality in small family run restaurants largely patronised by local Spaniards. Coming from the UK everywhere seemed to be filled with colourful flowering plants at ground level and on the balconies of two to five storey buildings. There were no Benidorm type skyscrapers in those days. While dining, the only interruption, sometimes two or three times during the evening, was the offer of stems of quality fresh perfumed roses for my then wife by elegantly dressed Spaniards making a few pesetas from adding pleasure to the dining experience.

BALCONIES: Used to be filled with colourful flowering plants, enhance yours now. One was not pestered with substandard named brand Chinese copies of leather goods, sunglasses, CDs by recent immigrants who may well have earlier in the day sold the sad plastic flowers in vases that sit on many tourist restaurant tables these days. Wandering back to one’s hotel very replete, one did not get the modern day impression that you were walking past prison block A, B, C and D, as someone described a

coastal resort the other weekend. Recognising this trend a few years ago I wrote, with Clodagh my wife, the book ‘Apartment Gardening - Mediterranean style’ to hopefully stimulate more apartment owners to make better use of their balconies and terraces by converting them into colourful, perfumed and perhaps productive patios in the sky. Fortunately some apartment owners, resident and non-

resident, have taken note and there are now more delightfully looking apartment blocks in expatriate and Spanish neighbourhoods. But so much more could be done. The book includes many photographs illustrating vividly what can be done and the roles plants, ceramic pots and tiles, modern and antique artefacts can play in producing the concept of a home in the sun. That’s not such a stupid idea

Best blooms for Mother’s Day MOTHER’S DAY is on Sunday and flowers are the traditional gift to give on Mothering Sunday. If you haven’t already ordered your bouquet, try taking into consideration the significance of each flower and create a truly meaningful display: Roses Roses are not just about true love, they

have long been associated with mother-hood, as they were sacred to the Greek goddess Isis, who was seen as the ideal mother. Lilacs Lilacs are known to signify the love between a mother and child. Irises The iris symbolises affection and warmth, and some Christians associate the

flower with the Virgin Mary. Carnations According to Christian legend, pink carnations are believed to have first grown from the ground where the Virgin Mary shed tears over Jesus’s death. Many believe carnations are a symbol of a mother’s eternal love and an ideal choice for Mother’s Day. As well as the meaning of a flower take into account your mum’s personal choice of her favourite flower in her favourite colour.

ROSES: Associated with motherhood.

as largely unused balconies and terraces range from four to 40 and 400 square metres for roof tops. Yes, there is the sun to contend with, but blinds and awnings can immediately change the climate whether apartments face east, south, west or north. Clodagh took a long time sorting out 120 or so plants most appropriate to planting in full, partial or semi shade and the few that genuinely enjoy the full summer suns. The block of photos illustrate the range of possibilities without being very creative. You may be amazed by some of the photos in the book taken of real situations. So if you have an apartment do have a go this spring. If you live in a villa, buy the book as a present for friends who do. I will have some copies of the book at the Calpe Homes, Gardens and Lifestyle Show next week. It’s easy to turn a current storage space into your garden home to immediately enhance your Spanish lifestyle. Come and have a chat on Stand 66.

Time to buy? Global house prices saw a record growth in 2013 NOW could well be the time to get on the property market in Spain, as latest figures show a global up-turn in the property market. Whilst Southern Europe may be propping up the latest Knight Frank Global House Price Index in terms of property inflation, the world-wide trend is on the up. That could mean the Spanish housing market may well be nearing the bottom and be poised to start on an upward trend again. There is evidence that the fortunes of even the most embattled housing markets can change, and change swiftly. Prices in Ireland, the US, and the UK rebounded in 2013. Between 2009 and 2011 Ireland occupied the index’s bottom ranking on no fewer than seven occasions. Ireland now

SPAIN: The housing market may be poised to start an upward trend. ranks in 19th position in terms of house price growth, above Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The index, rose by 8.4 per cent in 2013 compared with 4.6 per cent in 2012. That made it the highest annual rise since the

index was first set up in 1995. The headline global index is now weighted according to each country’s GDP, which means that the movement of house prices in the US and China will have a greater bearing on the index’s performance

than that of locations such as Malta or Jersey. Dubai, China and Taiwan recorded the largest annual rise in mainstream house prices ending the year 35 per cent, 28 per cent and 15 per cent higher respectively. Improving employment prospects and the continuation of low interest rates in Europe and the US are together fuelling buyer confidence. Thirty nine countries recorded positive annual price growth in 2013, a year earlier only 27 countries fell into this category. Several emerging markets, despite their economic wobble in 2013, still recorded a strong performance. Turkey, Brazil, Indonesia and Colombia are ranked in the top 10 in terms of annual price growth.

Why community fees vary NOT all owners necessarily have to pay all of the community charges. Providing the community charges are structured in a way considered to be within the law and in keeping with the community statutes then communities are allowed to structure charges pretty much as they like. The most usual way for the charges to be divided up is by a percentage of ownership, called the cuota (quota) and each premise given a coefficient. This means the more an owner owns in terms of square metres and other characteristics, the larger the quota and therefore the more they will contribute in community fees. The Law of Horizontal Property, the law governing all communities in Spain also makes proviso in article 9.1 E for the owners of different types of property and those using

Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor and Property Administrator for Intercala Administration www.intercala.com with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

different facilities or areas to contribute differently. For example; owners of parking spaces may not be required to pay for the upkeep of a garden or swimming pool. Owners of business premises that are located on the outside of the building, may not have to pay for the cleaning of the staircases and lifts inside the building. Some owners may like to know how their community fees are calculated, these divisions can be complicated and it is usually left to the administrator to calculate the exact amounts, as the actual maths are a little complex the fee structure is best explained by way of an example. In an apartment building of 100 owners there are

three different types of properties; 40 apartments, 20 business premises and 40 parking spaces. All the apartments have the same quota coefficient of 1.8 per cent, the business premises 1 per cent and the parking places 0.2 per cent. The community budget is estimated to be 100,000 Euros for the year ahead and is made up as follows: general costs 60,000 Euros, pools and gardens 30,000 Euros, parking areas 10,000 Euros. The division is agreed as follows. The owners of the parking places only have to pay towards the parking area costs and the general costs, not for the pool and garden. Parking costs are 10,000 and general costs 60,000, total 70,000 Euros. According to their quota

each will pay 370 Euros in community fees, totalling 14,800 Euros (40 x 370). The 20 business premise owners are exempt from both the pool and garden costs as well as the parking costs. Their contribution is only towards the general costs and will be 600 Euros each. Total 12,000 Euros. The 40 apartment owners pay towards both the general costs of 60,000 Euros and the pools and gardens cost of 30,000, a total of 90,000 Euros. The community fees for apartment owners will be 1,830 euros each, in total of 73,200 Euros. These three totals; 14,800 plus 12,000 plus 73,200 make up the 100,000 Euros total community fees. So it is not an equal division. If an owner of a parking space sees their percentage coefficient is 0.2 per cent they may wrongly calculate their community fees to be 200 Euros (0.2 per cent of 100,000) not 370 Euros. We solicitors for Intercala Community Administration strongly urge readers to seek advice in this and all matters regarding the law.

Prices nearing bottom LUXURY residential property prices in Spain appear to be edging towards the bottom and should remain stable during 2014 and beyond. The latest Spanish property market reports by estate agency Lucas Fox suggest sales prices appear to have steadied and may have bottomed out. Prices in most areas are between 30-40 per cent below their peak in 2007, although in some areas there is still a considerable margin between asking price and final sales price. The reports cover the company’s key areas: Barcelona, Costa Brava, Marbella, Ibiza and Mallorca. Spain’s prime residential

PRIME MARKET: Driven by international buyers. property market is still being driven by international buyers, attracted by the country’s low prices, investment opportunities and lifestyle. These are the strongest signs yet that the market is about to reach the bottom, with official figures showing prices decreasing just over 1 per cent overall in 2013

compared to 2012. Sale prices in the second half of 2013 for luxury properties in Marbella averaged between €4,500/m2 to just over €6,000/m2. There has been real growth in interest in prime Marbella property amongst Scandinavian, Asian, Middle Eastern and Russian buyers.

OLVO - already known for being at the forefront of driver safety - is developing systems for cars to ‘get to know their drivers.’ The ‘driver sensors’ they are developing could detect when a driver is tired or inattentive, and take measures to keep the car and its occupants safe. Examples of this include technology that detect closed eyes or what the driver is looking at. “This will enable the driver to be able to rely a bit more on their car, and know that it will help them when needed,” explains Per Landfors, engineer at Volvo Cars and project leader for

DRIVER SENSORS: Could detect when a driver is tired or inattentive. driver support functions. By placing a sensor on the dashboard to monitor aspects such as in which direction the driver is looking, how open their eyes are, as well as their head position and angle, it is possible to develop precise safety systems that detect the driver’s state and are able to adjust the car accordingly. This also means that the car will ensure that it does not stray out of the lane or

get too close to the car in front when the driver is not paying attention, as well as being able to wake a driver who is falling asleep. “Since the car is able to detect if a driver is not paying attention, safety systems can be adapted more effectively. For example, the car’s support systems can be activated later on if the driver is focused, and earlier if the driver’s attention is directed elsewhere,” Per Landfors

explains. Some of the current systems that can be included are Lane Keeping Aid, Collision warning with full auto brake and Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist. The technology is based on a sensor mounted on the dashboard in front of the driver. Small LEDs illuminate the driver with infrared light, which is then monitored by the sensor. Infrared light is just outside the wavelengths that the human eye can see, which means that the person behind the wheel doesn’t notice it at all. Driver sensors are also opening up other possibilities. By monitoring eye movements, the car would be able to adjust both interior and exterior lighting to follow the direction in which the driver is looking. The car would also be able to adjust seat settings, for instance, simply by recognising the person sitting behind the wheel. The technology is already installed in test vehicles. The analysis of the driver’s state is a field that may be key to self-driving cars in the future.

In the first semi-final Superbowl quartet of Michael Detheridge, Chris Down, Lynn Heseltine and Mary Detheridge slipped to a 0-11 score after only four ends against defending champions Benalmadena (Joe Stamper, John Sullivan, Jim Neilson and Juan Abeal).
