Finance NEW LOOK: Inspired by Gaudi.
Estepona benches get a modern look ESTEPONA Council has remodelled the Gaviotas Square with a technique created by the modernist architect Antonio Gaudi. The council has covered the benches with mosaics and improved the lighting. Councillor for Resource Management, Pilar Fernandez Figares, explained that combining the brightly coloured
ceramic pieces with white cement has given the square an “original and cheerful� look. She went on to underscore the fact that the ceramics were also easier to clean and this would save the council money. This same technique has been used on many of the flowerbeds located on the
sea walk in Estepona and having the square in these colours brought everything together to give it a more designed and united theme, commented Fernandez. The new lighting systems with energysaving bulbs will cut the electricity bill by more than 25 per cent as well as being greener.

T midday on Sunday, July 6, the official ‘chupinazo’ (firework) will be set off, marking the start of one of Spain’s most internationally known festivities: the San Fermin, or Sanfermines, as they are known locally. People from all over the world go to Pamplona, Navarra, to test their mettle in the age-old tradition of the running of the bulls. This is 849 metres, or two or three minutes, of pure adrenalin for those who take part, trying to outrun the beasts which have never been known to show mercy. The festivities go back several centuries but have become of world interest since Ernest Hemingway gave them so much publicity in his book ‘The Sun Also Rises’. Apparently, he was intrigued by the fair when he first went to it in 1923 and returned many times up until 1959. San Fermin, the patron saint of Pamplona, was the first bishop of Pamplona in the third century and the festivities associated with him came when cattle merchants arrived in the town to

MALAGA CITY: Seeing a sharp increase in tourism this year.
Tourism surge
THE growth of the tourism industry in Malaga is leading the local economy and has generated more than €500 million in the last six months. Malaga Council is hoping to reach the milestone of a million visitors this year. “Thanks to an increase in the number of tourists and the overnight stays in hotels the province of Malaga, and in particular the city itself, has turned itself around,” said the mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre. Compared to the same period last year there has been a 13.37 per cent increase in the amount of tourism; this means there
were 407,155 tourists visiting Malaga in this time period and they stayed an average of two nights in hotels. The positive data not only reflect the increase in the numbers of visitors but also the quality of their stays; Malaga is now Spain’s third city in terms of tourism, just behind Barcelona and Madrid. “The other positive which can be taken from this data of €500 million is that this amount was generated in the low season which means that the high season, which has just begun, should generate even more,” a spokesperson for the tourist office remarked.

Georgian killer gets reduction in sentence for being drunk A GEORGIAN man who killed his Russian lover after a drinking binge has been found guilty. The man was accused of stabbing and beating to death a Russian citizen, 55, in Fuengirola and he has been found guilty of murder by a unanimous jury verdict. The case lasted only three days and the prosecution lowered the amount of prison time asked for from 17 years for homicide to eight years for manslaughter with extenuating circumstances, which were qualified as extreme drunkenness at the time of the crime. In March of 2013, both the victim and the killer were in the victim’s house drinking and arguing when the killer started beating the victim about
the head and then smashed her head into the floor “with great violence”. After this the killer then got hold of a knife, seven centimetres long and two wide, with which he stabbed the victim up to five times in the chest, one of which severed her aorta and produced resulted in almost instant death. In the case, the Georgian man, who also has Portuguese nationality, admitted to the facts as presented by the prosecution but added that he had drunk a lot that day and was not used to drinking alcohol. His defence team presented this as extenuating circumstances and the prosecution accepted this argument and reduced the sentence they were asking for.

with indoor growing. Three people have been detained under suspicion of crimes against public health and defrauding the electricity supply. As part of their constant fight against drug trafficking the Guardia
Civil detained the three people thought to be responsible for the cultivation and treatment of the plants. Investigations started in April when the Guardia Civil became aware of the presence of a grow house on the outskirts of the inland town. They immediately set up a surveillance operation which resulted in the identification of three people who frequently visited the site to look after the plants. The grow house was located in a warehouse which had been specially prepared for the purpose
with lighting, temperature control, humidifiers and a ventilation system. Once the Guardia Civil had established that these three people were the only ones responsible for the operation they detained them for defrauding the electrical supply (they had illegally hooked up to the supply without going through a meter) and for crimes against public health. The three detained are on remand until their case can be heard by the courts in Malaga.

WATER-BOMBING: A helicopter swoops in to douse the flames.
Expats flee as forest fire rages
MORE than 500 people, including expatriates and holidaymakers had to flee a forest fire that swept towards an urbanisation in Southern Spain. The blaze, which broke out near Competa in Andalucia, was fanned by stong winds and high temperatures and swept towards Las Colmenillas urbanisation, according to Andalucia’s emergency services. Infoca, a service put in place by the Junta de Andalucia to combat forest fires, reduced the alert level from 1 to 0 after the fire in the Axarquia had been brought under control. Around 500 people from Las Colmenillas and Cruz del Monte had to be evacuated as 100 hectares of forest land was destroyed. The majority of homes evacuated were holiday homes, with the holidaymakers taken to the Balcón de Cómpeta hotel while the blaze was fought. The critical point of the fire was reached at around 4.30pm when the flames reached Urbanisation Cruz del Monte and came perilously close to three properties. In total 18 firefighting aircraft, including two amphibious aircraft and two helicopters, as well as 200 members of the emergency services on the ground – divided into 16
different groups – were drafted in to fight the fire and try to protect property. By 6pm the flames were under control with firefighters remaining on the scene in case the high winds fanned the fire back to life. In fact, one of their main concerns was keeping the flames from
fully spreading to the Sierras Tejeda Natural Park and Almijara. The cause of the fire is still unknown and five homes were reportedly destroyed by the flames in Cruz del Monte. This was the worst fire to break out in the municipality in the last 40 years.

LESS EXPENSIVE: Quality second label wines. Advertising feature
Stunning Top 10 Spanish second labels at D-Wine
A
LL respectable bodegas have a wine, which is considered the best and well regarded. Such wine would be their ‘first Label’ or Premium Brand - commonly expensive and made in restricted quantities – they also produce the so called ‘second label’ wines, which are at least less expensive, of predictable quality and by far more available. Some of the best values in the wine world often come from a well-known producer’s second label. Those wines are made from the same vineyards and by the same talented winemaker, they are always pleasurable and offer great quality at a lower price of the most heralded wine of the bodega. At you can find and enjoy a collection of the best seconds, incredibly high quality wines produced by some of Spain’s leading winemakers at a fraction of the cost of their first label releases.

SUMMER FUN: Camps begin in Alhaurin de la Torre.
Camp season starts
FOUR HUNDRED children, 25 monitors and lots of volunteers are beginning the summer camp season in Alhaurin de la Torre. The children, between the ages of four and 12, along with the monitors and volunteers all met at the El Limon sports facility in Alhaurin to begin the first leg of the camps, which takes place in July; there will be a second leg starting in August. The children will be able to enjoy all the activities on offer including, but not limited to, arts and crafts, dance, games, sporting activities and theatre as well as
educational courses like road safety. This is not a residential camp and the children can join up for morning sessions which are from 9am to 2pm as well as a ‘pre-morning’ session which runs from 8am to 9am for all those parents who have to be at work early. This year the fire brigade and the civil protection service will both be giving talks and workshops about the different aspects of the services they provide. Prudencio J Ruiz, Councillor for Sport, said the summer camps were a great way to introduce the children to more sporting activities in a fun atmosphere.

Fuengirola man is gunned down by a hit man in Argentina A MAN from Fuengirola was shot and killed by a hit man in the city of Comodoro
Ribadavia in the province of Chubut, Argentina. Domi Exposito, 31, was
living a nightmare trying to get his daughter, aged six, back from her Argentinian mother who had taken her to the South American country in 2010 when their relationship was over. The Fuengirola man had been in Argentina for several months trying to bring his daughter back to Spain; he had been given full custody by the Spanish courts. According to Manuel Huertas, Exposito’s Argentinian lawyer, Exposito was taking a walk with his girlfriend when a hooded man got out of a car and shot him five times; the man then escaped in the same car. Exposito died almost immediately. Exposito had been trying to get his daughter back since 2010 when the child’s mother took her, illegally, to Argentina after telling him

He then took the case to the Fuengirola courts who gave him custody but, with the child out of the country, he was powerless to do anything about it. Exposito then appealed to the Argentinian courts who, after much wrangling,
agreed he had the right to custody and could take the child back with him only if he also agreed to take the mother. Hhe agreed and bought the tickets but the mother never turned up at the airport so the return trip was cancelled. The next attempt to return to Spain would have been on June 30.
Huertas has explained that Exposito had a lot of problems with the family of his ex; they threatened him frequently and told him to forget about ever taking the child back to Spain. So far the Argentinian police have declined to comment on the direction they are taking with their investigations.

Running of the Bulls sparks naked protest A 42-YEAR-OLD Danish animal rights activist is preparing to pose naked on the streets of Pamplona in protest at the Running of the Bulls. In the demonstration organised by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the Spanish group AnimaNaturalis, Naja Bjørnlund plans to bare all and paint her skin to resemble a bull a day before the start of the famous San Fermín festival. Bjørnlund said: “Tormenting and butchering animals can never be
justified as entertainment; I’ll gladly bare my skin if it will expose the cruelty of the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.” The festival of San Fermín is a deeply-rooted Spanish tradition, celebrated annually in the city of Pamplona, where more than one million people come to participate in the Running of the Bulls from Sunday (July 6-14). The festival, famous worldwide, was central to the plot of The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hemingway, who brought it to the general
attention of English-speaking people. A survey from 2013 revealed that more than 76 per cent of Spaniards opposed the use of public funds in this centuries-old tradition. “Each year, approximately 10,000 bulls die in bullfights, an inaccurate term for events in which there is very little competition between a nimble, sword-wielding matador and a confused, maimed, psychologically tormented, and physically debilitated animal,” according to the PETA website.

Spanish teachers are ‘losing out’ unions say JUST because they are native speakers it doesn’t mean they have the ability to teach the language. Teaching unions are extremely angry with the government’s announcement that it wants to hire more native English teaching assistants for the 2014/2015 academic year. The unions are saying that the native teachers are getting an unfair advantage as they are not required to have the same teaching qualifications as a
Spanish national to teach English; also they aren’t required to speak any Spanish. Carlos Iglesias, head of the primary and high schoolteachers’ union (FSIE) commented that there are six million unemployed in Spain; among them many teachers who would be more qualified to teach than a native speaker; although the native speaker may speak the language better this does not qualify them to pass on the skill to others.

Thanks and brickbats… T
HE fire season has well and truly started. Already there have been forest and bush fires right across Spain. The latest of these has just hit the beautiful area around Competa in Andalucia, where 500 people had to be evacuated and five homes were destroyed. While everyone’s sympathy should go to the owners of those homes, our thanks should go to the brave emergency workers who tackle these fires on a regular basis. And make no mistake it is dangerous, with firefighters having been killed when an unexpected change of wind left them trapped. In Competa, 200 men and women on the ground and 18 aircraft combined to tackle the blaze. Thankfully no one was hurt as an emergency plan was put into action.
Those residents and tourists most at risk were taken to safety as the flames approached and the brave firefighters managed to save many homes. The authorities had a plan, and they used it well, for which we should all be grateful. But elsewhere things are not quite so rosy. In Andalucia, people left homeless after a massive blaze swept through Mijas, Alhaurin el Grande and Ojen two years ago are still waiting for the help promised them by the Junta de Andalucia regional government. So there we have it, on the one hand a rapid response to a fire, on the other Spanish officialdom moving with the speed of a sloth. Thanks go to the authorities for their immediate action, and brickbats for their inaction and disinterest after the event.

In Diaz’s opinion, the results of the G6 summit have made it clear that the fight against drugtrafficking is necessary in itself, since illegal drugs are harmful to society. Minister Diaz went on to say that money benefits from the illegal drugs trade fund organised crime, illegal immigration networks, money laundering operations, as well as arms, human and sex trafficking.

Horse rescue comes too late
THE rescue of an abandoned and starving horse in the Campo de Guardamar came too late. Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre (EHCRC) in Rojales received a request for help from Seprona, the Guardia Civil’s animal welfare arm, and rushed to the property. “We found a very young horse starving and completely dehydrated,” said EHCRC co-founder Sue Weeding: “She was lying in full sun and had had nothing to eat or drink for four to five days. She was far too weak to get up.” After constant attention and assistance from EHCRC vet Dorothea, it was decided that nothing more could be done but put the horse out of its misery. EHCRC also discovered six starving dogs locked in dark cages on the property. All are now being cared for by the Cats n Dogs Aid Association in Quesada. EHCRC is continually looking for volunteers and donations to cover the cost of feeding and caring for the 82 horses, ponies and donkeys that live at the centre.

ELICÓPTEROS SANITARIOS has 24-hour Home Doctor Service 365 days a year. There is no age limit or medical restriction to becoming a member of the Home Doctor and Emergency Ambulance service and you can access the membership process easily online. The service provided by Helicópteros Sanitarios is unlike anything available in the entire world, providing excellent Home Doctor Service to all the people living on the Costa del Sol. If you become a Helicópteros Sanitarios member, you will always have the finest medical care provided by their Home Doctor Service, available 24 hours a day for 365 days a year with no restriction of age or previous medical condition. Moreover you will receive excellent care and quality medical attention from the best medical professionals with access to the latest medical equipment. In an emergency, Helicópteros Sanitarios will attend to you and, if necessary, transport you to the nearest hospital that is best equipped to deal with your situation. María Jose Cañete Sanchez, President of Helicópteros Sanitarios, has built the company from the start. She began her mission in 1988 and has not looked back since. Previously she had always been interested in medically equipped aircraft and how they worked.
In the past she had worked with air rescue companies in Switzerland and Germany. However, 26 years ago, María José came to the Costa del Sol because she had read about the ‘Carretera de la Muerte’ (the English translation is ‘the Road of Death’), which was how the old N340 coast road was described. This was the main artery for the Costa del Sol before the present A7 road was constructed.
HOURS
The helicopter has cutting-edge electromedical material María José told us: “Twentysix years ago, 80 per cent of people involved in car accidents from the N340 coast road would pass away before arriving at the hospital due to the inefficient transport available.” Thus she rented a helicopter with money from her own pocket and created the company Helicópteros Sanitarios, with just two employees to begin with: the helicopter pilot and herself! They would land in the middle of the road and transport victims of road accidents or other emergency patients to hospitals in Málaga. Later, the members of Helicópteros Sanitarios began expressing interest in more health services. In order to meet their requirements, MarÍa José, along with her talented staff, worked extremely hard to offer a wider range of services and made

AMBULANCES: Kitted out with the latest technology. the company what it is today. What makes Helicópteros Sanitarios different is that the company provides a Home Doctor Service, something which is otherwise hard to come by on the Costa del Sol. The Helicópteros Sanitarios medical fleet consists of 16 Mobile Intensive Care Unit ambulances and one helicopter that cover the entire Costa del Sol. The helicopter is medically equipped with
cutting-edge electro-medical material and the staff are permanently prepared for reallife emergencies, constantly participating in emergency drills and ready for any emergency. The Mobile Intensive Care Units (ICU) in the ambulances are equipped with the latest technology and carry a wide range of medicines to treat all possible cases. However, you may not even have to reach the hospital at all since the ICU is so well-equipped it is almost a mini-hospital. All ICU units must have three professionals; a doctor, a nurse and a driver/technical assistant and Helicópteros Sanitarios makes sure that all staff have the best up-to-date training available at all times. Helicópteros Sanitarios treat every Home Doctor Service visit as an emergency visit. The doctor will arrive at your home by ambulance accompanied by a nurse and a driver/technical assistant, no matter what your symptoms are. The Home Doctor Service deals with all medical complaints, however

ICU UNITS: Consist of three professionals, a doctor, a nurse and a driver/technical assistant at all times. small you think they are. These could range from the common cold or ‘flu, a broken limb, and of course through to the most severe injury or illness. The medical team will arrive as soon as possible to wherever the patient is; at home, at the beach, at the golf club, etc, and will assess symptoms and either treat the patient on the spot if possible or transport the patient to the hospital of their choice. This is a superb medical service, providing peace of mind to all its members. The Helicópteros Sanitarios doctor will follow up on the patient’s progress the next day, inquiring how the patient is feeling and if anything more is required, tracking the evolution of the condition. In the event that a patient has been taken to hospital, then the doctor will follow up progress from the moment of admission to the hospital until the moment of discharge.
MEDICAL FLEET: Consists of 16 Mobile ICU ambulances and 1 helicopter.
In this sense, the staff at Helicópteros Sanitarios go above and beyond the call of duty. “The service we provide is of that of quality and care,” said María Jose. All members of the medical staff speak Spanish and English and treat every patient with great care, as they would treat a
member of the family. Maria José commented: “We have invested in the formation for our staff, we have more than 200 employees and they all speak English and Spanish.” The doctors and other medical professionals at Helicópteros Sanitarios are renowned for treating patients with respect.
They listen to patients’ concerns, empathising with the patients’ difficult situations and they will put all their efforts into solving the patients’ medical problems. María José is clearly very proud of the company she has created. She stated: “Our biggest satisfaction is that our members feel happy about our service. The philosophy I always had was to treat the patient with compassion and care, apart from the obvious medical professionalism. “Our doctors and nurses have vocation and a passion for helping people. The patient appreciates this. It is not only about being a doctor, but we treat our members with professionalism and humanity.” She added: “being a member of Helicópteros Sanitarios is like being a member of our family.” This is proven by the fact that some members have been with the company for 15 years, and
just recently it had the honour of celebrating one member’s 100th birthday. Although not widely publicised, the company does a lot of philanthropic work. The team visits schools and teaches children how to act in an emergency. Helicópteros Sanitarios has been providing medical care to a young boy completely altruistically in recent months and many staff work voluntarily in their free time helping other members of the community, as this is a passion for them. President María José says: “The staff are like my children and I have tried to inculcate in them my love and passion for what I do. I believe the secret of being successful is loving what you do.” She added: “The greatest reward for us is receiving a ‘thank you’ letter from a member. All the company staff gets to read it and that is reward enough for us.”

Disenchanted with the system that insults home owners IT made me sad to read about a recent Save Our Homes Axarquia (SOHA) meeting with politicians. As a fluent Spanish speaker I truly wish I had been present. To say “it was very gracious of them to come and listen to us” shows a great lack of understanding of the Spanish mentality because they are not gracious people. They are experts at manipulation and deceit. The responses they gave were a clear insult to the thousands who have invested in good faith. A country that will knock down a house and leave people like Len and Helen Prior living in a garage for being victims of that country’s own corruption is a country of little humanity. To say “the truth has not been told in the past” is a paltry way of referring to a practice that in any civilised society would be known as s******g on people from a great height. In Spain it has been going on for donkey’s years and will continue to go on forever. Extreme pressure must be applied to the EU and their court of human rights because the British government won’t do anything. Forget Spanish politicians, they are laughing at you. Gary Verbickas, Granada
Round trips FOR 59 years I have driven practically every vehicle you can think of. Britain has had roundabouts for nearly 100 years and we have learned how to use them. Spain has had them for five minutes - okay, about 10 years and of course they know best. Teaching drivers to stay in the inside lane when they wish to go left round the roundabout is a recipe for disaster. If I am on the outside lane on a dual carriage way roundabout, I do not want to be wiped out by some idiot coming across my bows. Spain is the only country I know that teaches this way.

Policy-making I CAN’T make my mind up about Bill Campbell’s letter. Is he serious or taking the C5H4N4O3 as my biology professor was prone to exclaim? Or is he purposely trying to provoke some idiot with time on their hands into responding. Hang on... er... I meant some other idiot, not me. His letter ‘False alarms’ is either very astute or just the opposite. I mean, come on, for a start I agree with Leapy Lee when he says UKIP have no policies apart from their views on Europe. How many policies do we need? Every election we are promised policies by the bucket load. Very few, if any, are for our benefit and most are quietly binned immediately after the election. Vote for those who promise least and that way you won’t be too disappointed. If Bill Campbell believes for one heartbeat that people voted UKIP because some Busy Archer is constantly warning them not to, he deludes himself. Conway Owen Jones (by email)

Taxing ordeal IN late December 2013 I received two brown envelopes from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. Being retired I ignored them, but taking a second look I discovered that they had changed
the goal posts. They also informed me that I am deemed to owe them £273 back tax. I have paid tax and national insurance all my working life. Now Her Majesty’s Government wants to tax me at 65 years of age on my private pension. How many millions of pensioners are Her Majesty’s Government taxing? Having retired to Spain it seems awfully unfair that at 65 I am being asked to contribute to the British economy but I suppose someone has to pay for the immigrants and asylum seekers flooding in and sponging off the UK. This is only one voice and I can rant and rave but it won’t change a thing. How many people out there feel the same way? Allan David Duhig, Mazarron (Murcia).

Fracking shame I AM completely against fracking anywhere. Once a water-table is contaminated there is no way back and the companies applying for these ecological disasters know it but don’t care. There is enough evidence from the USA to show this. I’m appalled that leaders can see no further than their bank balances, and that is all this ‘rush to frack’ is. Money, and the devil take the hindmost. If it was safe, France and Germany would be on to it like a shot. What is needed is a law saying that for every frack contamination, all directors of the company involved get a mandatory 10-year jail sentence. Then we’ll see who is willing to take the chance! Keith Hallam, Blackpool (UK)
Bad impression I WRITE to bring to the attention of your readers a very nasty practice carried out by Spanish banks. If a customer tries to pay a bill of an amount in excess of the account’s daily limit, the transaction is refused by the bank with the printed explanation ‘saldo insuficiente.’ I have confirmed with Spanish friends that this suggests that the balance in the account is less than that needed to pay the invoice. In my case I had indeed exceeded the daily limit on the debit card, but had to endure the embarrassment of the trader believing I was short of the sum needed to pay for the goods or service. I cannot think of any good reason why the banks are unable to say that a transaction exceeds the daily limit on a card. At my request the bank immediately wrote a letter to the trader concerned, stating that there certainly were sufficient funds in the account. Andrew Gore, La Herradura (Granada)

Santander goes Scandinavian BANCO SANTANDER will buy GE Money Bank AB, the Scandinavian consumer finance division of General Electric. The transaction, which is expected to cost approximately €700 million, should be completed during the second half of this year subject to regulatory approval, said Santander. GE Money Bank has loans of €2.35 billion, corresponding to direct loans and credit cards, the bank stated. Sweden accounts for 55 per cent of the loans, Norway for 26 per cent and Denmark for 19 per cent. Santander Consumer Finance, meanwhile, leads in financing vehicle purchase, with a total volume of €8.9 billion in loans.
“Acquiring GE Capital’s business in Sweden, Denmark and Norway is an important step in Santander Consumer’s growth strategy,” said Santander chairman Emilio Botin. This would increase its geographical diversification and reinforce its position as Europe’s foremost consumer finance provider, he added. Santander is looking to benefit from the economic recovery by boosting returns from lending. It agreed to pay approximately €140 million for 51 per cent of El Corte Ingles finance unit last October and is now negotiating with PSA Peugeot Citroen to sell loans and create a joint venture to boost the manufacturer’s finance network.

Added protection from sun THERE are a number of skincare tips that are common knowledge. For instance, staying hydrated and drinking plenty of liquids have been shown to help the skin stay moisturised and soft. And everyone knows how important it is to apply sunscreen half an hour before going out in the sun. However, some people may not know there are foods which help repair UV damage caused by the sun. They are photo-protective and may improve the way the skin looks while decreasing redness. Watermelon and tomatoes, for instance, are rich in lycopene, which has been shown to reduce skin cell

damage and relieve red-ness caused by the sun. Antioxidants top the charts for their free-radical neutralising properties, which can be applied to sun exposure and damage. As a rule, vegetables and fruits are high in antioxidants and can therefore help fight sun damage.
Cannabis threat IN Spain almost 83,000 adolescents have a problem with cannabis use. According to Government Delegate for the National Plan on Drugs, Francis Babín, this can lead to more youngsters becoming dependent on drugs. He said: “Obviously we have a problem with cannabis,” but stressed the “excellent” co-operation the Ministry of Health with other departments and with society. Out of every 10 teenagers who have tried cannabis, eight have consumed it in the last year and five in the last month. A third of those who habitually consume the drug will develop an addiction.

Too much telly can be dangerous to health WATCHING too much TV every day can double your risk of dying early, that’s according to Spanish researchers. A new study to investigate the links between television viewing and computer time and death, adds to evidence that time spent in front of the TV is potentially life threatening. They say three hours a day can double your risk of an early death. Professor Miguel MartinezGonzalez, chair
of the Department of Public Health at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, said: “Our findings are consistent with previous studies where time spent watching TV was linked to mortality.”

Studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in brain and cell functions. They also reduce inflammation and could help lower the risk of heart disease, arthritis and cancer. In addition, they are crucial for growth and normal development. Health experts agree that people who follow the delicious Medi-terranean diet, which has a
Cardiovascular risk varies WHERE we live in Spain can relate to the level of cardiovascular risk. A study published in the Spanish Journal of Cardiology (REC) highlights the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome which includes hypertension, abdominal obesity and high cholesterol - in Spain and the significant geographical differences in their distribution. AndalucĂa, Extremadura, Murcia, Balearic Islands and Canary Islands are regions with the highest number of people at risk of developing cardiovascular disease, reaching double the prevalence of other regions such as Basque Country, Navarra, La Rioja, Cantabria, Madrid or Valencia. Data for this research came from a cross-sectional study on 12,948 people representative of the Spanish population aged 18 or over. The Spanish Society of Cardiology recommends adopting clinical and public health strategies to ensure a healthy lifestyle as this is the only way to influence the reduction of cardiovascular risk factors.

Getting water out of the ear SWIMMING is fun, water in the ear not so much. It is annoying, reduces hearing and, if unchecked, the moisture could even lead to a dangerous infection and pain. Fortunately, there are some simple remedies which can help getting water out of the ear in the blink of an eye. Salt water can be used to flush out trapped water. Mix one cup of water and Âź teaspoon of salt to make a solution. Stir it vigorously to dissolve the salt and then use a bulb syringe to squirt the solution into the ear canal. A simple remedy can also be made by mixing equal parts of vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Try placing two drops of this solution in the affected ear to remove the annoying water.

water in the ear canal is to use a hairdryer. But use a cool air setting or the lowest heat setting available. Hold the dryer at least 30

Tiny human hearts being grown in the lab A SCOTTISH lab is growing tiny human hearts.

Although healthy to begin with, the
Scientists are using stem cells scientists are using chemicals to simulate the physiological conditions that will make them become hypertrophic and are then using newly developed medications to see if they can prevent the damage from occurring. Heart hyper-trophy causes the muscle to thicken making it harder for blood to pump around the body. It can be hereditary or can be caused by diseases including diabetes and even by too much strenuous exercise. The team said hearts had been grown in labs before but this was the first time it had been possible to induce disease in them.

DRY SKIN: Can feel scaly and sometimes itchy and painful.
Dry skin and some of its common causes THE skin is basically the body’s barrier against the environment. Dry skin is a very common problem that can in fact occur at all ages. It can sometimes be difficult to treat. It tends to appear peeled, inflamed and dehydrated. It feels scaly and sometimes itchy and painful. Dry skin is more common in winter, because humidity

levels drop. Since the air outside is cold and dry, the skin’s water evaporates at a faster rate, thus leaving the skin feeling tight and dry. It can also be the result of long hot showers and baths, which may in fact deprive the skin of its protective oils. Dermatologists say many soap bars contain detergents that also remove the natural oils of
the skins, thus making it more sensitive and leaving it dry. They also warn that central heating, space heaters and wood-burning stoves can considerably reduce humidity and dry the skin. Overexposure to the sun can lead to skin damage by harmful UV rays, which can also leave the skin dry and scaly.

Dangers of stress STRESS is the body’s natural way of preparing to meet a tough situation and responding to any demand. When the body is under stress, it releases chemicals in the blood, which give it more energy and strength. While this can be beneficial when facing a physical danger, it may spell trouble if there is no outlet for all that extra energy and strength when the ‘threat’ is more emotional. Excessive levels of stress may reduce immunity and increase the risks of getting sick. It can also affect the brain and result in loss of focus. Chronic stress has also been shown to cause erectile dysfunction in men and reduce sexual desire in both men and women. Those who are under a lot of stress may also have trouble falling asleep or difficulties staying asleep. Dermatologists warn that excessive levels of stress can worsen skin conditions such as

Sterling soars to a high as Euro collapses JUNE has seen the euro weaken massively as Sterling - Euro saw record highs in 18 months surpassing the 1.25 mark. This commenced due to a good run of UK economic data, also showing that the unemployment rate had fallen to a five year low. However, the biggest news in the Eurozone came from the European Central Bank (ECB), finally announcing major moves in interest rates and starting on the long path to eliminating fears of deflation. Having experienced just 0.2 per cent growth in the first quarter of 2014 and falling inflation levels - from 0.7 per cent in April to 0.5 per cent in May pressure mounted on the ECB at the start of the month to finally take a long-awaited action. On June 5, The European Central Bank announced a set of measures to promote growth and soften deflationary pressure currently affecting the Eurozone economy. These involved the cutting of all interest rates.
Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
In a milestone move, the ECB lowered the main refinancing rate from 0.25 per cent to 0.15 per cent and cut the deposit rate for banks from 0 per cent to -0.1 per cent. This is the first time the central bank has set a negative rate. This means that banks in Europe will be required to pay the ECB for the right to park their reserves with the central bank. By charging banks interest it hopes to motivate them to lend to businesses, which should help stimulate growth in the Eurozone economy. This is an extraordinary move that has never been tested before on such a large scale and it is the boldest step that the ECB has taken, so far, to stimulate growth and inflation in the region’s economy.
JUNE: Overall a dismal month for the Euro. Mario Draghi, the President of the European Central Bank, also introduced €400 billion of cheap credit in the form of Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (LTRO) and suspended sterilisation of government bonds previously bought, which should inject about €170 billion into the economy. Although the ECB has not gone as far as introducing a quantitative easing programme (as implemented by the US Federal Reserve), Draghi stated that the
central bank is willing to consider more measures to raise inflation, if necessary, by stating “we are not finished,” hinting very clearly that more stimulus was possible and that Quantitative Easing might follow shortly. Mid June - we saw the GBPEUR rate increase further by hitting the 1.25 mark as Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, warned that UK interest rates could increase sooner than the market had expected.
Meanwhile, the Euro has continued to tackle its problems, which were highlighted in manufacturing readings from Germany, France and the broader Euro region on June 23 as they fell short of expectations, adding to current weakness in the shared currency. ECB chief Mario Draghi has also hinted that interest rates are likely to stay at record lows for at least another 18 months as inflation rates remain at a dismal 0.5 per cent way off the targeted 2 per cent level. On a more positive note for the Euro - we saw Sterling weaken slightly against the single currency towards the end of June as Mark Carney met with the Treasury Select Committee where it was mentioned that stimulus would not be removed as there are risks to economy and rates will continue to rise. Overall, a dismal month for the Euro - one of the worst months to sell Euros and best months in 18 months to purchase Euros!

MOST of us realise the importance of advertising in newspapers. A tried and tested partnership, the relationship between newspaper and business seems unassailable. If newspapers were to lose advertising revenue the cover price could be as high as €5 per copy. Advertisers subsidise our weekly read. We owe their community a great deal. Cynics point out that advertisers are powerful enough to influence editorial. I know this to be true with mainstream media. The heavies are dependent upon government infrastructure for both advertising and news feed. Government can kill a newspaper or television broadcaster simply by withholding advertising or re-

All they want is reader response when setting their stall out. Advertising departments are managed by geniuses. Mind reading is an essential on the CV, as is multi-tasking, empathy, marketing nous, graphics, debt collection, taking the blame,
foregoing kudos and much else. Advertisers often let themselves down. They rarely change the content of their advert. Many pay little attention to content then blame the ad’ department for a poor response. Remember to give clear contact details to make sure new customers can find you. So many times I have to ask locals where a place is. Customers want to know if parking is available, booking a table or appointment is necessary, an idea of prices, child or wheelchair friendly. It is not enough to blandly advertise your business. Give readers a clue as to why your business should be favoured over rivals. A special offer, the ambience: Is entertainment available and if so whom? I have seen world-class performers billed merely as ‘flamenco.’ Artistes have their fans who do follow them to your restaurant or watering hole if you have the nous to put their name in lights and sex up their performance. The difference to the till can pay the artiste’s fee and your advertising.

Friends are saving money by staying at yours - but are you? the sardines are slow cooking on wood fires and chunky ice-filled goblets of Gin and Tonic are being enjoyed as the last rays of sunshine disappear into the evening sky. Having a ‘place’ in Spain is a beautiful thing, but so much so that guests from cooler climates are prone to pop over for a holiday. Depending on your own disposition and how close you are to these potential house guests it can either be an enjoyable experience or a complete nightmare. Good friends may be a delight to have for a couple of nights but distant family or friends who decide to arrive on your doorstep and take advantage of your life and home in Spain can be hard work to tolerate and entertain.

Is Plus Valia Capital Gains Tax? Q. I have digested your book ‘You and the Law in Spain’ and other material. All agree that You and the foreign owners resident in Spain, over 65 years Law in Spain of age and having lived in the property for By David Searl more than three years as principal residence, are exempt from Plus Valia tax. A friend is selling his house. He satisfies the above conditions, but the Ayuntamiento says he will have to pay about €50,000 in Plus Valia. The cadastral value is raised periodically, so this official rated value now exceeds the real market price. Is it normal? A. In fact, I do not say in my book that these older sellers are exempt from Plus Valia tax. I say that they are exempt from Spanish Capital Gains Tax, the Impuesto sobre el Incremento de Patrimonio, and I bet your other sources say the same. On page 147 of the 2013 edition, in the discussion of Plus Valia, I remind readers not to confuse the two taxes. The full name is Arbitrio sobre el Incremento del Valor de los Terrenos, which is why it is always shortened to Plus Valia. You pay this tax to the town hall and the Transfer Tax when property is sold. Later, you declare and pay your Capital Gains Tax on the profit you have made. You are right to point out that the Cadastral Value, the Valor Catastral, which is the rated value, has increased
to more than the real value in today’s depressed market.

the couch and watch TV all night if Cousin Mary and Uncle Fred from America are lurking in the wings. And on top of all this house guests are expensive to host. The fridge needs to be filled and we often end
up buying pricey patés, fancy cheeses and hams to show off the local cuisine. The drinks cabinet needs to be restocked and if the corners are fraying on the bedlinen some of us might be tempted to buy new
covers – even if our budget doesn’t allow it. Because we don’t want to look bad! Then there’s entertaining. A relaxed weekend reading and going for a walk won’t suffice for guests, so lunches out, taxi rides home and loads of cash spent on ‘enjoyment’ is usually the norm. For the host this can be a big drain on finances. So what should we do if we can’t afford unwanted guests landing on our doorstep? Well, first off, don’t ever advertise that you have a spare room. Make up a nice excuse to keep them away - “we are having terrible problems with the plumbing at the moment!” Or just be brutally honest. It might just be rude enough to keep them away for good.
Brussels eyes Spain’s tax cuts with caution SPAIN’S knuckles were rapped for lowering income and corporate taxes in 2015. Brussels should have been consulted first, the European Commission (EC) complained, despite conceding that “some aspects” of Mariano Rajoy’s tax cuts are acceptable. Generally speaking, however, Spain’s initiative was not applauded. Spain had ignored its recommendation of increasing the VAT added-value tax in order to reduce workers’ social contributions, Brussels lamented. It also criticised the increased number of tax breaks, a move that directly challenges targets for simplifying tax structures. And by no means last,
the EC believes that the reductions will make it harder for Spain “to fulfil its fiscal consolidation targets.” This last objection directly refutes the claims of Spain’s Finance Minister Cristobal Montoro, who insisted that lower taxes will not entail reduced revenue. On receiving fuller details of the Spanish government’s reforms Brussels will “carefully analyse” the implementation of tax objectives, sources said. Meanwhile, Spain is also counting on France and Italy to ease the fiscal pressure imposed by Brussels, government sources revealed. It is confident that economic recovery will continue and offset the lost revenue.
“The time has come to lower taxes for everybody, for the Spanish to receive compensation for the efforts they have made during the crisis,” Montoro declared. He is convinced that the reform can raise national output by up to 0.55 per cent over the next two years, he said. Brussels sees things differently. Some EC sources made no attempt to hide what they readily described as “scepticism” regarding the reasons for the tax cuts. “Elections are looming,” they said. The same sources also warned that if revenue diminishes, Spain could once again have problems owing to its hefty deficit.

Grunters are a real turn-off…
OMETHING really must be done about those appalling grunters at Wimbledon. Frankly, the orgasmic screams from the women and the Neanderthal grunts of the men are really starting to get to me. I mean what on earth is it all about? I have always been a tennis fan. In the good old days (mine that is) when I could get on Centre Court and into the bar, I didn’t miss a single day of this wonderful competition. At no time during that period do I recall the likes of Chris Evett, BillieJean King, Jimmy Connors or any of those wonderful past champions, screaming like banshees or imitating the mating call of chimpanzees to achieve a successful outcome. What do these spoiled, extremely fortunate people think when they see recordings of their matches and hear themselves uttering these primitive ejaculations? Personally, I would be extremely embarrassed; some of their utterings almost seem like too much information - if you get my drift! I saw an article the other day from someone who had recently watched a number of players practising,
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT particularly Sharapova - to my mind one of the worst offenders. This person reported that there was no sign of the noise projected during their actual matches. By this token it must imply the whole phenomenon is a part of the player’s strategy and completely intentional. In this case the noise limiters must be brought into play and anything over an agreed level penalised by loss of points or a number of warnings that could culminate in fines or even disqualification. Come on, you tennis authorities, show some teeth so this ol’ boy can turn the sound back on and enjoy the commentary, without suffering what sounds for all the world like a backing track of London Zoo! I know Cameron’s stand in the recent EU presidential elections has just about been done to death, but can anyone tell me who the alternate
candidates were? As far as I can discover there was actually no one else to vote for. I dunno, perhaps it’s me. I’ve no doubt somebody will write in and enlighten me! As far as I’m concerned, disgraced footballing animal Suarez should have been banned for life for his recent biting incident. It was his third offence and it should be without question three bites and you’re out. But he won’t be, will he. No, I’m afraid in the world of the beautiful game, money speaks far louder than words - as certain wealthy Qataris have also discovered! And that’s about it. Unfortunately, lost another friend this week. Estelle Hatt, long-time resident of Mallorca and one of life’s true characters, passed on. RIP Estelle. Sadly missed. Thanks for all your mail. Love the feedback. I can take it. Have a good week and, whatever ya, do always keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com WORST OFFENDER: Maria Sharapova.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) When someone asks you this week where you are going, will you know the answer? You will make progress if you do. If you're not sure, then there is no point in going full steam ahead. This is a week to consider your options on all fronts, particularly in business. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A personal decision needs to be made. No major changes are necessary so long as you have a firm plan. It is not so much that caution is required, rather more that you should give yourself time to consider. In the longer term, you may see this week as a turning point. . LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a week of planning and making changes. Some things click into place and you realise that you are on your way to completing an ambition. The trick is to manage it without upsetting people on the home front. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Are you putting off a decision affecting others? This is a good time to take the bull by the horns. Keep an eye on finances involving younger people. Sometimes, you are better able to help in other ways, perhaps by giving encouragement or advice. . SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Your activities this week may seem to be ones best done alone. To a certain extent this is true. However, if you wish to make others feel important and gain their support in the future, you should involve them. You don't have to take advice which is given but be diplomatic when not acting on it. Hurt feelings can cost money. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Are you feeling less positive than

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: The rest of this year deals more with practical matters than spiritual. You need determination not to be sidetracked, especially financially. Recently acquired friends will play a big part and be most helpful in November.
July 3: Julian Assange, 43. Entrepreneur. Founder of WikiLeaks and refugee at the Ecuadorian embassy in London since June 2012. He has wreaked havoc on the international intelligence community by leaking all sorts of information to the public.
Your Stars
July 7: Jeremy Kyle, 49. TV show host. A British TV and radio personality, he has come to widespread fame as the host of The Jeremy Kyle Show which has aired more than 14,000 episodes. July 8: Kevin Bacon, 56. Film actor. Bacon rose to fame with the 80s’ hit film Footloose and has gone on to star in many Hollywood blockbusters including Apollo 13 and The River Wild for which he won a Golden Globe.
July 5: Huey Lewis, 64. Singer. Singer and harmonica player with Huey Lewis and the News this band contributed several tracks to the Back to the Future soundtrack. July 6: Sylvester Stallone, 68. Film actor. The actor, director and screenwriter was voted into the boxing hall of fame for his Rocky film series - he is also famous for his role as Rambo in the 80s’ films of the same name. usual? We all do at times. If energy is low get out for a long walk in a relaxing place. Perhaps watch a film that raises your spirits. There is about you a kind of regret and fondness for the past, but there is nothing wrong with sentimentality so long as it does not cloud your picture of the future. That can be bright indeed. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Is someone trying to sidetrack you by casting doubt on a relationship or plan? Something is going on so make sure that you have all the facts. It would be gullible of you to take everything at face value. You have good supportive colleagues and may seek their advice. Be optimistic as the weekend comes and remember your sense of humour.
July 4: Miguel Angel Muñoz. Actor and singer. This film actor and singer is also famous in Mexico and the US where he has made many films. He studied acting in Madrid and Los Angeles and made his debut on the silver screen at only 10 years old. He has won two Goya awards for his work in cinema.
31
July 9: Tom Hanks, 58. Film actor. Hanks is most famous for playing the title role in Forrest Gump for which he won an Oscar; he went on to star in many films including Saving Private Ryan and The Green Mile.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Showing confidence means others see you as being very much in control. They need to see that you can be trusted. If a plan is not going in the right direction, be prepared to change tack. Changes should not be made to financial plans until you are sure of your ground. Romantically, you are being admired.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is now important that you are clear about the person you wish to spend your time with because you may have more than one option. Plans that you started last week are now showing progress. Keeping the pace growing is essential to beat rivals. It is not an easy week by any means but it should not be boring.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) It is all go for you at the moment. Not only will you be particularly clearthinking but your intellect will be sharp as a knife. Your enthusiasm spills over from your business life to personal matters, leading to a hectic and eventful time all week. When it comes to romance, a positive and dynamic approach stands you in good stead.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A tendency to be emotional because of a setback should be avoided. When you feel the pressure rising, remember that nothing is worth risking your health for. Sound out friends and colleagues to avoid over-reacting. It is a week when you realise how someone close is able to be a great help. The question is, can you accept it?

TOP 10 CELEBRITIES WHO THE MOBS ALMOST KILLED EVER wondered how all those celebrities hang out with the Mob (in any of its incarnations) but never seem to have much to do with them? Sometimes they get on the wrong side of the ‘darker element’ that they like to flirt with. Here are a few examples of celebrities almost killed by various Mobs. 1. Steven Seagal The Gambino crime family were extorting this well known actor for around $150,000 (€110,000) per film he made - when he tried to stop making action movies the Mob threatened him with death if he did not continue. Eventually the FBI stepped in and arrested Julius Nasso, who was his contact, thus freeing Seagal. 2. Fats Waller This jazz piano player was Al Capone’s 27th birthday present; he was taken at gunpoint to Capone’s birthday party and told to play or be shot - the party lasted three days but he was a success.

Pining pets need a helping hand By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch I AM often asked what can keep pets happy when their families go on holidays. From personal experience, any change in a pet’s routine can give cause to fret. So consistency at home helps keep the pet on an even keel, regardless of any changes. An owner’s unexpected absence can lead to anxiety. ‘Dolly’ a Tree top Spaniel we had raised from a puppy was always happy, wagging her tail end to show it. We only realised how nervous she could be when we left her in kennels. We had found a well-kept kennel and were delighted with our choice. However, we returned to find a much thinner dog with sad and downcast eyes. Her sorrowful mood persisted for weeks.
We put it down to a first separation experience. The next year we consulted a neighbour and placed Dolly in the kennels they used for their dog at the same time, thinking she might enjoy it more with a friend. We hoped that this time it would be easier. However, we returned to an emaciated dog who couldn’t bark. It took her a full two months to get her happy demeanour back, to say nothing of her voice. Some dogs just do better staying at home when the family goes on holiday. I’d be happy to help you find the right pet solution for you.

IT is impossible to know how long fleas have been living on your pet, so it is also impossible to locate all the areas within the house where the fleas may be living. Not only do you have to treat your pet, but you also have to treat your entire house. Before buying every flea-destroying product on the market, thoroughly vacuum your house. “Fleas, as eggs, larvae and pupae, may spend 90 per cent of their time off the pet [and] on the carpet or furniture or in your bed,” reports the Cornell Cooperative Extension Insect Diagnostic Laboratory. Remove the vacuum bag, seal it and destroy it immediately - fleas are hearty parasites and will continue to live in the

For dogs and cats (they can share fleas) - a specially formulated flea bath product, available at your vet or pet store, will do the trick. Shampooing will have to be accompanied with extensive brushing with a flea comb. For household flea extermination, there are numerous products available.
The most important thing to look for in a household anti-flea product is one that will effectively kill all stages of a flea’s lifecycle, not just the adults. Female fleas can lay hundreds of eggs at one time. Make sure to follow all of the product’s instructions exactly as described. You may need to use a combination of products, multiple times,
throughout a 30-day period in order to completely rid your home of the fleas. They include shampoos sprays and flea collars that children must not touch but which pets can have around their necks for up to four months.

Surviving on a fruity diet FRUITARIANS advocate a diet that only comprises fruits, seeds, nuts and vegetables. Though the logic behind someone’s decision to embrace fruitarianism may vary from person to person, fructarians, as they are also called, often have political, health, environmental and even religious reasons. As a rule, followers of fruitarianism make sure 75 per cent of their food intake comes from raw fruit. Sometimes they even go so far as to disregard anything that was picked, preferring fruits that have fallen naturally. Of course, some fructarians are more flexible than other. But in
FRUITARIANISM: Advocating a diet that only comprises fruits, seeds, nuts and vegetables. general, their diet includes seven basic fruit groups: dried fruits (raisins, dates), oily fruits (olives, avocados), seeds (pumpkin, sunflower), sweet
fruits (melons, grapes), nuts (cashews, hazelnuts), acid fruits (cranberries, pineapples) and sub-acid fruits (figs, raspberries).
While some may think that there is not such a thing as ‘too much fruit,’ given the fact that they are packed with healthy vitamins, the truth is that fruits alone cannot supply all the nutrients the human body requires, according to health experts. Humans also need proteins, carbohydrates and fat so that the body can work properly. It may come as a surprise, though, that famous people throughout history have lived on fruits alone, at least for a while, including Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, as well as Leonardo Da Vinci, Idi Amin, and Gandhi.

Tips for deep-frying crispily DEEP frying is classified as ‘dry heat’ as no water is involved, the same is true of sautéing or pan frying, but if you want things to be crispy then the deep fryer is for you. Here are a few pointers to make it easier. Not all oils are the same. The first step in frying anything is to choose the oil by taking into consideration the taste and the smoke point (temperature at which it smokes). Olive oil has a
relatively low smoke point and vegetable oils have a relatively high one - the crispier you want something, the higher the smoke point you should aim for. Get a deep fry thermometer. The difference between the smoke point and the ignition point is sometimes very small so get one which handles oil. Never salt the food before deep frying. Oil and water are not friends and salt should be added later. Get a heavy bottomed pan. You don’t need a deep fryer just a decent pan with as thick a bottom as possible - this guarantees even temperature of the oil. Fry quickly. Once the food is cooked it will start to absorb oil so fast and furious is the key.
DEEP FRYING: Not all oils are the same. Drain the food well. As before; once the food
is cooked it will absorb oil so drain it quickly.

All at the Euro Weekly News send owner Paul Hickling their congratulations for such an astonishing achievement. But you will have to hurry if you want to catch it this year – doors close again on August 31. So why is such a popular venue, famous for its superb food cooked in a wood burning oven and barbeques in a beautiful setting, open for just two months a year?

Don’t miss your chance for a treat at the Roman Oasis… smell the flowers. So you’d better be quick or you’ll miss a great night out!” And that is not the only reason, as Paul explained: “I’ve needed the time to write a book which will be published soon. I’ll let you know when!” Here’s the introduction as a taster: Surely nobody on earth would be stupid enough to buy a mountain tract of arid land that had no electricity or water on the Costa del Sol in the south of Spain and think they could build a successful restaurant there.
Nobody except for Paul Hickling that is. The year was 1981 and the Costa del Sol was awash with celebrities, glamour and gangsters. David Niven, Sophia Loren, Sean Connery, Rod Stewart, Freddie Foreman and, erm, Wham! They were all drawn by the allure and fun of this Medi-terranean coastline. Hickling’s dream was to feed them and millions of tourists. This is the story of one man’s success in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. And yet, after
over thirty years of toil, trouble, heartache and the cost of two failed marriages, the restaurant has become an unbridled success on the coast of broken dreams. This is a rapidly-paced account of sheer madness on the Costa, with tales of disaster and despair midst cocktail-sipping celebrities, matched bravely against Hickling’s undying will to raise the Phoenix from the ashes that were The Roman Oasis Restaurant. Over the decades it
flew high above the dark clouds of Spain’s bureaucracy and preEuropean Union laws that tried to rain down upon it. This is a book for anyone who loves Spain; for anyone who knew it in the wild, sangriafuelled, good old days of the peseta to the Euro of today. It is for anyone who sat upon the warm sands and thought, I wonder what it would be like to open a place here...

Maori cooking - alfresco! STILL practised in modern day New Zealand, hangi is a traditional Maori style of cooking, in which fish, chicken and vegetables such as sweet potatoes are cooked in a pit dug in the ground. Recipes have changed, however, and now include mutton, lamb, pork, cabbage and pumpkin. Interestingly enough, this peculiar style of cooking can also be found, although with slight variations, all around the Pacific. To ‘lay a hangi’ Maoris first dig a pit in the ground. Then they heat stones in
MAORIS: Traditionally use an open-air cooking pit. the pit with a large fire until they are white hot and place baskets of food on the stones, covering everything with earth for hours until it is time to uncover the hangi. Of course, laying a hangi
takes a little know-how. The rocks need to absorb enough heat. Not every rock will do. They need to be volcanic. Other rocks can crack and explode. For the fire it is important to gather the right type of
wood. That means wood that will burn for a long time - between three or five hours - and gather lots of heat. But of course, the amount of time depends on how much food needs to be cooked. The pit does not need to be that deep. The hole just needs to be deep enough to fit the stones as well as the food baskets. While hangi food used to be wrapped in leaves, things have changed with modern times and now people are much more likely to use aluminium foil.

GRILL MARKS: So desirable on meats and veggies.
How to barbecue with no barbecue NO barbecue, no problem. Here are two ways to ‘barbecue’ indoors that shouldn’t require the presence of the fire brigade. Rediscover your grill. OK, it cannot achieve those much desired grill marks which make the food prettier and it cannot achieve the smoky taste of charcoal but it can get a decent char on the food. So provided you have marinated your food with the right ingredients you can get a barbecue style taste. If you are using a grill incorporated into
an oven, remember it is often best to leave the door slightly open to let steam escape and keep the heat dry for the food to cook properly. If you don’t have a grill, get a grill pan. A good cast iron grill pan will achieve those desired marks and it has ridges which means that the fat will drain away. Grill pans are usually cheap - you should be able to get a decent one for no more than €45 - and works best on quick cooking recipes.

OPINION & COMMENT
The biter bit… was Suarez ban fair? Uruguayan star Luis Suarez has been thrown out of the World Cup, banned from ‘all football-related activities’ for four months and fined just over €82,000 for biting an opposition player. It was the third time he had been caught biting another player. Was his penalty excessive, or not harsh enough?
J
ULEA DAVIES of Roy Trevor Removals on the Costa del Sol said: “All I know is that if I was a professional footballer, I wouldn’t think that the fine was high enough. They are all paid an obscene amount of money.” George Rae of Complete Holiday Care, Mojacar Playa, Almeria, said: “I certainly don’t think the punishment reflected the crime. This was his third offence, and he should have been banned for years rather than
STREET TALK the slap on the wrist that he received. This was a disgrace to football.” Anthony and Tammy Bowen from The Chippy, in La Alfoquia, Almeria, were not impressed by the incident: “Suarez’s behaviour was disgusting. He should definitely have been punished more. If I could
have decided the punishment he would have faced a much larger fine and a much longer ban.” In Mallorca Nigel Singleton of Singleton International said: “I think it’s about right. You can’t go around just biting shoulders or any part of another player. I wonder if he is in any way related to Mike Tyson – as he liked to bite too!” Also on Mallorca Donna Mann of Little Britain, Alcudia, agreed the punishment fitted the crime. She
said: “I think it’s a fair punishment considering he’s done it before. The ban is right and the fine is about right, too. FIFA have to make a stand and say this is not acceptable for someone who is a role model.” Clinton Daynes of The Dog Grove on the Costa Blanca thought the penalty could have been more severe. “It needed to be harsh as at the end of the day he is a role model, and he has stepped out of line again. We are taught at a very young age – no biting, no kicking, no hitting so it’s probably not harsh enough,” Clinton believed. Lyal Taylor of the Costa Blanca’s OP Group agreed. “The ban is not long enough – plain and simple. Hand in hand with that, the fine should be more as well. It’s the third time after all,” she said.

T’S summer and that can mean only one thing for tourists - strikes! French air traffic controllers just staged one (later calling it off) only to be joined by the Belgians. Why? To protest against budget cuts due to a Europewide reform of the air traffic control system. The Association of European Airlines strongly condemned "this unjustified industrial action which holds the entire industry to ransom during one of the busiest passenger traffic weeks of the year." French air traffic controllers had warned of “a heavy disruption of flights” during their strike. Some 17.1 million UK citizens travel to France each year, mostly during the peak summer months. However, as a large proportion of UK flights cross French airspace, British airlines travelling to Spain are also badly affected by knockon delays.

Since that time, flying’s become increasingly painful as the seat cushions in cattle class have become thinner like some absurd time lapse torture. So thinner seat cushions, less leg room and skimpy food service plus lengthy waits on the tarmac have all eroded what used to be a reasonably convenient and pleasant form of travel.

Public spaces should be pleasing too Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
IT is now summer and the best of home gardens are full of colour, perfume, summer herbs, fruits and vegetables. Others are bland with no flowers and parched brown lawns. Equally some public parks and streets vary to the same extent. Within an urban setting plants in the earth or in containers not only make walking, resting, working and eating out more pleasurable, but they also help reduce airborne particle and

Readers of EWN have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to the barren environment in many town centres and urbanisations by putting up with the failures of developers and town halls to plan to increase the percentage of green spaces. It is interesting that Curitiba, Brazil, has 52 square metres of green public space per inhabitant; Rotterdam, 28.3; Paris 11.5 and here in Spain, Madrid, in spite of tree-lined streets and the wonderful central Retiro Park, has 14.0 and Barcelona 5.6.

CHARITIES ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call Marjorie 952 79 74 05 or 636 934 146 (93319) ACE CHARITY at El Refugio Kennels always needs volunteers to help with dog walking. It’s good exercise, a couple of hours any morning of the week. Foster and permanent homes also needed for our many inmates! Vivien 639 991 079 (93320) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public weekends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

THE crowds at the Goodwood Festival of Speed were treated to the world-first driving appearance of the Lexus RC F, the highperformance coupe that has already generated huge interest in its motor show appearances around the world. The RC F moved off the show stand and on to the track to give a taste of its performance potential, making speed runs during the ‘first glance’ sessions on the festival’s hill course. The Lexus LFA also stormed the hill as one of the festival’s supercar competitors. The RC F, due for market launch at the end of the year, has at its heart the most powerful V8 engine Lexus has yet produced for a road car. The 5.0-litre, 32-valve unit developing well in excess of 450 DIN hp and more than 520 Nm of torque, is matched to a specially calibrated, eight-speed Sports Direct Shift transmission. The new technology that makes the RC F a great handling car as well as out-and-out fast includes the world-first use of a torque vectoring differential in a front engine/ rear-wheel drive configuration. Three operating

Ford reveals the new Focus ST THE new Focus ST also made its global debut today at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Ford chose it as “- the ideal location to showcase the speed and enhanced driving dynamics of the global performance car.” The manufacturer says it is the the most advanced Focus ST yet, and offers new chassis control technologies, tuned sus-pension and steering, and bespoke tyre specification that ensure an even more responsive, balanced and refined driving experience. And for the first time, it will be offered with the choice of two powerful engines - one petrol and one diesel. The first diesel Focus ST takes day-to-day usability and sportiness to a new level by delivering the most fuel efficient and lowest CO2 Ford performance car
ever; 185 PS 2.0 litre TDCi achieves 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.1 seconds, 4.4 l/100 km (64.2 mpg), and 114 g/km CO2. For customers who prefer petrol, the 250 PS 2.0-litre EcoBoost delivers 0-100 km/h (062 mph) in 6.5 seconds, fuel efficiency of 6.8 l/100 km (41.5 mpg), and 158 g/km CO2. Both models offer Auto-Start-Stop for the first time that improves the EcoBoost version’s fuel efficiency by 6 per cent and help make it the most fuel-efficient petrol Focus ST ever. “The new Focus ST delivers an even more sophisticated balance of performance, driving dynamics, refinement and style - the core of Ford’s Sports Technologies DNA,” said Joe Bakaj, Vice President, Product Development, Ford of Europe.

The Adam Rocks is ready to roll… RECENTLY it captivated visitors to the Auto Mobil International (AMI) show in Leipzig, and now in just a few days it will be available to order: the Opel ADAM ROCKS is ready to roll! Open-air driving fun is an essential part of the ADAM ROCKS repertoire with a Swing Top canvas roof fitted as standard, all for €15,990 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany). But before customers can enjoy this stylish mini-crossover in the city and beyond, Opel engineers have once again put it through its paces at the Opel Test Center in Dudenhofen. With its muscular proportions, encapsulated by bold side-sill plates and distinctive body cladding, the ROCKS likes to show what it can do beyond the urban landscape. Key to its purposeful stance is a 15mm increase in body ride height, giving greater ground clearance and a wide, robust appearance. Numerous components have been modified or retuned to guarantee (almost) limitless driving fun. These include dampers, springs, the front and rear suspension geometry, steering and the electronic stability control programme (ESC). To prove the effectiveness of all these changes, it was time to ‘hit the track,’ of course with expert guidance. The Opel engineering team took the ADAM ROCKS
NEW OPEL: Open-air fun. to its limits at the Test Centre. Be it on the torture track, the high-speed circuit or the hill track - the ADAM ROCKS had to cover around 40,000km at Dudenhofen. This tough test is equivalent to covering 160,000km on particularly demanding real roads. Vehicles at the Opel Test Centre are exposed to levels of stress and strain in just 24 weeks that correspond to an entire vehicle life experience under normal road conditions. For example the torture track: here the auto industry’s first urban three-door minicrossover proved its durability. That’s
because the track delivers exactly what its name promises: more than 900 metres of potholes, humps, the ‘washboard,’ a cobbled section and a pavé track. It’s a really tough test for the chassis, which will most probably never go through such torture in real life. But it was not a problem for the ROCKS. After all, the small ADAM ROCKS’ design and durability were inspired by the exploits
of agile ‘Parkour’ athletes, who use the city landscape as their playground and easily overcome every obstacle. On the newly-expanded high-speed circuit, the saying is: “Only flying is better.” Thanks to its 40 degree banking, speeds of up to 250km/h can be achieved without lateral forces. This enables Opel engineers to test their calculated target values, such as top speed, while being able to relax and release the steering wheel once in a while. To put the steering, transmission and brakes to the test, the ADAM ROCKS also successfully completed the hill track. This undulating, man-made circuit has rising and falling gradients, ranging from 8 to 30 per cent, with different road surfaces and a serpentine section including hairpin turns - similar to conditions found in alpine mountains. It was another stage that the newest Opel family member effortlessly rocked through. Opel’s agile urban athlete really showed off its strengths, particularly in curves. The newly-tuned steering underpins the ADAM ROCKS’ agility, impressing with its direct responsiveness and sporty driving style.

THERE’S plenty of sport to please everyone and I mean everyone, over the next week or so. Today we have the start in Yorkshire of this year’s Tour de France cycle race (which continues until July 27) and the Diamond League Athletics meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland… on Saturday there’s a similar athletics event in Paris… Wimbledon fortnight ends with all the respective singles and doubles finals (Saturday and Sunday)…
we have the British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone, also on Sunday… the first cricket Test between England and India starts at Trent Bridge next Wednesday… and the World Cup continues in Brazil with the two quarter-finals taking place tomorrow (Friday) and two more on Saturday, followed by the semi-finals on July 8 and 9. We’re into the knockout phase right now, with the possibility of extra-time and then a penalty shoot-out. All tense stuff. FOOTBALL - Brazil had QPR reject Julio Cesar to thank for beating Chile! The goalkeeper saved two spotkicks as the hosts scraped through 3-2 on penalties. In the quarter-finals, Brazil play Colombia, 2-0 conquerors of Suarez-less Uruguay, and Holland, who
scored twice in four minutes late on to defeat a plucky Mexico 2-1, meet Costa Rica who squeezed past Greece, also on penalties (5-3). Argentina got past the determined Swiss (1-0), Germany beat Algeria and Belgium sent the USA packing, both scores were 2-1 after extra time. France beat Nigeria (2-0).
MOTOR SPORT - Marc Marquez won his eighth MotoGP in a row Holland with Andrea Dovizioso and Dani Pedrosa coming second and third. ‘MM’ goes for his ninth straight victory in Germany on Sunday week.
CRICKET - Having lost the recent series against Sri Lanka England have the chance to put things right against India. They play the first of three tests in a week’s time. Alastair Cook remains as captain, but expect a

few changes down the order. In the County Championship, Yorkshire and Notts are joint leaders in Division One while Hampshire head Division Two. In the T20 bash Essex, Lancashire and Worcestershire are doing well but not Derbyshire and Middlesex. Damien D’Oliveira (son of Basil) has died aged 53. He scored over 9,000 runs for Worcestershire: 1982-95. TENNIS - Reigning champion Andy Murray and past winners Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, made it through at Wimbledon, but Rafa Nadal and Maria Sharapova, along with the Williams sisters, Serena and Venus , are out after a series of shock results.

Italian Giacomo Agostini, riding his MV Agusta, won every motor cycle Grand Prix he entered (total 58) in the 350cc and 500cc classes between 1968 and 1971.

And reflecting on his last ‘meal’ against Italy, Suarez tweeted: “I lost my balance and fell on Chiellini”. He lost his mental balance more likely! I’ve seen rugby players dig their teeth in, also boxers (Mike Tyson for one) but surely Ian Botham never bit Dennis Lillee, Sebastian Vettel hasn’t yet gnawed Lewis Hamilton and Andy Murray doesn’t like the taste of Rafael Nadal! Oh, six million people welcomed Suarez home to Montevideo! What a joke!

Happy birthday Malaga! MALAGA FC has celebrated its 20th birthday. It was formed on June 29, 1994 and took the place of the previously named Club Deportivo Malaga and Atletico Malagueño. In that time the club has seen promotions and European adventures as the blue and whites re-established themselves in the elite of Spanish football. Following two promotions they reached the First Division in 1999/2000 and won the Intertoto Cup in 2002/2003. That meant they were in European competition for the first time and they went on to reach the quarter finals of the UEFA Cup, in a thrilling campaign. By 2011/2012 they had one of their best teams ever and finished the season in fourth spot, earning them a place in the Champions League. That was the start of a great adventure that saw them come agonisingly close to the semi finals before losing out to two late goals from Borussia Dortmund. The following season Malaga was banned by UEFA from European competition for its debts. Initially UEFA said in a statement that the club would be excluded from a subsequent competition, for which it

CYCLING - Sir Bradley Wiggins won the men’s Time Trial at the British Road Championship in Wales; the women’s road race was won by Laura Trott ahead of Dani King and Lizzie Armistead. Wiggins, by the way, is NOT in this year’s Tour de France. IN BRIEF: London Broncos, bottom of Rugby’s Super League, have lost all 18 games this season, conceding 737 points… Australia, the 81 on favourite, ridden by Joseph O’Brien, became the 11th winner of the Irish Derby for his father/trainer Aidan (Australia also won the Epsom Derby)… Neil Robertson beat Joe Perry 109 in China’s Wuxi Classic snooker final… and Hickstead’s Equestrian Derby was won by Ireland’s Trevor Breen on a one-eyed horse in a jump off. SUAREZ - He’s an absolute idiot, a mad man. I’ve been involved in soccer for many years as a player, coach, statistician, author and reporter and before the Uruguayan’s cannibalism acts of 2010, 2013 and 2014, I’d never seen anyone bite an

BIG TIME: Malaga hoping for better times in anniversary year. would otherwise qualify, in the next four seasons. However, the ban was eventually downgraded to one season and the club was excluded from the 2013/14 Europa League, for which it had qualified. But that was a factor that led to the team beeing broken up as the vital funds from European competition dried up. In the summer of 2013, local lad and shining star in the
team, Isco, was sold to Real Madrid, Joaquin to Fiorentina and midfielder Jeremy Toulalan to AS Monaco. On top of that Manuel Pellegrini, the manager, left for a brief stay at Manchester City, with Bernd Schuster taking over. There followed a disappointing season, but now fans are hoping their 20th annuiversary year will see a return of the good times.
