Malaga wines making a name

MALAGA is getting ahead in the wine world. The 1,000 hectares dedicated to growing different sorts of wine around the province generated an income of more than €30 million last year. Malaga wines are no longer known just for the sweet variety, which

has been well known for around the last 46 years, but also for its other, less characteristic, table wines which are now doing quite well on the international market as well as the domestic market which has, traditionally, always leant towards wines produced in the north of the country.

Elias Bendodo, local government delegate, commented that Malaga wines as a brand name was becoming more and more prestigious and known for its quality and what the “branding” must do now is consolidate the good impression it has made and cultivate more international markets.

Real estate market looking up MALAGA could take another five years to get rid of its stock of newly built housing. There are still more than 12,300 unsold properties left over from the last property boom. According to a report done by Acuña y Asociados (national real estate company) although there has been an increase in interest

in the market, it is still a long way from being able to absorb new buildings into the market. The report situates Malaga as one of the places with the fastest recovery along with Alicante, Madrid and Lugo - at the other end of the scale the places with the slowest recovery rate are Palencia and Teruel, which could take as much as

another 10 to 13 years to recover to the point of needing new builds. Data released in the report indicates that there are more than 580,000 new builds still for sale in the country as a whole; if all buildings are taken into account then there are 1.7 million properties available for sale.

Two years TRADITIONAL PILGRIMS: Going to Santiago.

Making a pilgrimage… ALL over northern Spain cities and towns are getting ready for Saint James’ Day which is celebrated on July 25. There will be special church services to honour his life and work, exhibitions, theatre productions and a plethora of other activities. For many it is also the day to complete a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia - an undertaking done by thousands each year. Saint James, son of Zebedee, is the patron saint of Spain and was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the first to be martyred. According to local legend, as he was preaching the gospel, the Virgin Mary appeared to James on the bank of the Ebro River - she was standing on a pillar, which is why Zaragoza has a Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar. In the 12 century, Bishop Diego Gelmirez commissioned a history of the Compostela area and

this is when two propositions came to light: the first being that Saint James preached the gospel in Iberia as well as the Holy Land and the second that after his martyrdom, by the hand of Herod, he was carried to the coast of Galicia and subsequently buried at Santiago de Compostela. According to legend, a series of miraculous happenings took place during the moving of his relics from Judea to Iberia; supposedly, he was decapitated by Herod then his body was taken by angels and sailed to Iberia where a rock enclosed around it - and taken to Compostela where it remains.

Local police uncover contraband tobacco LOCAL POLICE in Malaga have detained a man who they caught transporting 2,400 packets of cigarettes, 5,584 bags of rolling tobacco and 17 boxes of cigars of various brands. Officers calculate the value of the haul to be more than €61,000 if it were to be sold on the open market. The Local Police were performing a routine traffic stop in the Distrito Puerto de la Torre area when they came across the car. After identifying the driver they asked him to open the boot of his car and that is when they found the haul of tobacco products which, they suspect, are contraband as they have no blue tax stickers on them. The products were confiscated as well as the vehicle. Samples of the tobacco were taken so that they may be analysed later by police laboratories to make sure they come up to health standards if not tax standards.

PROBABLY CONTRABAND: 2,400 packets of cigarettes. As the value of the haul is more than €15,000 the driver of the vehicle was detained. A police spokesperson has commented that the analysis will

reveal if the tobacco is real or falsified, if it is falsified the man detained will be charged with brand infringement as well as avoiding tax.

Fire scare for San Pedro cars A SMALL fire in San Pedro prompted the removal of 15 vehicles for their safe keeping, while the fire was brought under control. The cars were all parked on the street and there was a small risk of them catching fire. Some of the vehicles had to be removed by a tow truck but the majority were moved by their owners as the fire became more obvious towards midday on a vacant lot on Avenida del Mediterraneo. Emergency services were called at around 12.10 on Sunday, as the lot was empty there was no material damage but it burnt very quickly as it had a lot of dry weeds on it. Although the cause of the fire is not yet known there are suspicions that it was started by fireworks set off on the verbena El Angel by the Julio Romero de Torres neighbour’s association more than 700 metres away.

Fined €870 for attacking guard MALAGA courts have sentenced a man to pay €870 for hitting and threatening a security guard at the Clinico hospital. The sentence considers it proven that the man tried to fight his way into communal areas of the hospital through the emergency room. The events took place at the end of last year when a security guard at the hospital noticed that a man was trying to get into the communal areas through the emergency corridors; the security guard then told the man that he could not go into that area as it was not a designated entry - the man ignored the security

guard and tried to carry on, but was stopped again. At this point, according to the judicial resolution, the man became abusive, shouting that he would get into the hospital so that they could open a file on him “by his balls.” The security guard then took him outside and this is when the man became threatening and began fighting the guard and threatening to stab him - all the while the man was rooting around in his bag, presumably for some personal item with which to carry out his threats. Fearing that the man had some sort of weapon in his bag, the guard took the threat of being stabbed seriously and subdued him before he could take any further action.

Marbella mayor defends city THE mayor of Marbella has defended the city’s reputation after a local English-language newspaper tried to link posh Puerto Banus with some of the sleazier aspects of Mallorca’s Magaluf. “Of course, sometimes the stag and hen parties can go a bit crazy; that is normal but that is not the sort of trade we get generally,” said Angeles Muñoz. “We are working very hard to attract the high-end tourist trade to Marbella and Puerto Banus. That is the sort of trade we have always had and will continue to have,” she added. In a front page article a local paper investigated the use of date rape drugs and in so doing linked Puerto Banus with Magaluf, which has been hitting the headlines in the UK for sex scandals in bars.

HIGH END: Banus attracts quality tourism. Inset: Mayor Muñoz.

Mayor Muñoz said: “The reality of the situation is that we attract families, golfers, and the more upmarket clients,

not the sort that have been hitting the headlines.” Speaking exclusively to the Euro Weekly News, Mayor Muñoz was keen to push the positive aspects of tourism on the Costa del Sol. She said that of the millions of tourists who visit the area every year, the

vast majority have a great time without either causing or enduring any problems whatsoever. She went on to say that new initiatives the city hall had instigated were keeping Marbella and Puerto Banus in the limelight in a positive way.

She remarked: “Marbella is a very strong brand and we want to keep it that way. Events such as the Starlite festival keep us in the news in a good way.” She was speaking at the launch of a new mobile campaign to get people to register on the ‘padron’ or municipal register. “It is hugely important that people register. Central government pays grants on the basis of it; the more people registered the more money we get, which we can then use to pay for better services,” the mayor explained. At the moment Marbella has 146,000 people registered out of an estimated population of 220,000. “If we can get everyone to register we can have more police, better health services and improve the quality of life for everyone.” To get the message across Marbella is sending a mobile unit around the city and to street markets so people do not have to travel to the city hall offices to register.

easier they are to get rid of. A foreigner is easier prey than someone who knows where and how to complain about being pestered. Everyone knows that you are supposed to haggle with a street vendor, but the €20 that a tourist eventually spends on a rip-off designer bag is €20 less for a legitimate business-owner. Shopkeepers who provide employment, pay Social Security, income tax, IVA value-added tax and comply with everything that the law demands of a business-owner resent this competition. They are eaten away with overheads as they grapple with the economic crisis while

they see their opportunist rivals make profits without responsibilities. But the looky-looky men remain. Given that the majority of the clients on a bar or restaurant terrace regard them as a nuisance, why are they allowed over the threshold? There are dark conjectures that owners fear reprisals. Not everyone dismisses as a conspiracy theory the suggestion that they pay protection money and the looky-looky men are not what they seem. Some vendors are in thrall to people-traffickers owed money for their illicit passage to Spain or those who supply their wares. One of the biggest

financial-corruption scandals of 2012 centred on a still-remanded Asian businessman, ostensibly an impeccably upright citizen, whose alleged crimes include tax fraud, moneylaundering, prostitution and drugs. Is it entirely coincidental that the fake goods offered by lookylooky men are made in China? What is undeniable is that if they are asked the right way, some looky-looky men sell drugs although they are seldom found with enough on them to be charged with dealing. It’s generally agreed that the police are little help but the law is not on the side of law-enforcers in this area. An arrested looky-looky man will soon be out on the street again, minus his wares and whatever money he has been fined but ready to return to the nearest paseo. And there he is, ready to accost you again, bags and scarves with a covetable log over his arm, and fake Rolexes or sunglasses tucked into a toolbox. But who does he really work for? Editor's note: No tax, no IVA, no Social Security, no overheads, no red tape. How the many business people that advertise in the Euro Weekly News must wish they could get away with the Looky-Looky business model! They are legal, pay their dues, create employment and, through their taxes, help provide the many services we all enjoy. But what do they get in return? For them the struggle against the infamous Spanish bureaucracy is a daily battle. A little of the leeway given to looky-looky men by the authorities would go a long way to helping their businesses thrive.

revealed the identity and location of the person, 20, who had registered the stolen bike on the site. The only changes made to the bike were the removal of the council’s stickers and identifiers as well as the anchoring points. After inquiring a little further they also came across the person who, they believe, had actually stolen the bicycle and were able to detain him along with the ‘fence.’

A CAR which crashed into a building ended up hitting a first floor balcony in the inland town of Manilva. The vehicle had hit an electrical box which is what launched it up into the air. When the fire brigade received the call from the Local Police that a car had hit the balcony of a first floor apartment they thought it was a joke. Although it seems nearly impossible it actually happened in Marinas del Castillo in Puerto de la Duquesa when a car hit a ‘general electricity box’ and was thrown through the air. There were two occupants in the vehicle at the time, a man of 20 and a woman of 30, who were only slightly injured. The fire brigade have revised the electrical installations and declared them safe again.

Juan Antonio Roca, ex-councillor for Planning with Marbella Council, originally received a sentence of 11 years in prison and a fine of €240 million - he is considered to be the brain of the operation. Another 95 people were let go without charges. The prosecution have emitted an

LOCAL POLICE in Mijas were able to recover a Danish tourist’s wallet, and all its contents, when it was stolen while she was walking around La Cala. An off-duty policeman was witness to the theft and chased the perpetrator into the toilets of a local bar where she remained until police arrived to arrest her. The Danish tourist declined to press charges but the thief, a woman of Bosnian origin, was processed for petty theft anyway.

SELL-OUT SHOW: An Evening of Entertainment for Help for Heroes

TAPAS raises €1,700 for Help for Heroes

TAPAS (The Andalucia Performing Arts Society) held an Evening of Entertainment to raise funds for Help for Heroes. The show was a sellout with more than 200 people attending and it raised in excess of €1,700 for the charity.

Minijobs WITH the arrival of summer there is always a reduction in the number of the unemployed but some are better off than others; some get real contracts and real jobs while others get what are increasingly being called ‘mini-jobs’. These mini-jobs are usually part-time and strongly related to the tourism industry, which makes them seasonal and therefore unstable. The CCOO (Spanish Communist Workers Party) is protesting the legality of these contracts as, this year, around 50 per cent of all contracts have been mini-jobs.

Reverend Dr Peter Miln. The first half of the show continued with songs and comedy sketches rounded off by an enthralling rendition of Love Can Build A Bridge. The second half of the show did not disappoint with, amongst other things, the TAPAS Choir performing a silent version of the Hallelujah Chorus, the Hanky Panky

Sisters, who were clearly up to no good, and a piano duet that had to be seen to be believed. The evening was rounded off by the cast performing Flash, Bang, Wallop followed by Jane Busby leading the audience in You’ll Never Walk Alone. During the interval a paella, courtesy of Los Arcos, was served to all of the audience.

For four months now the SEPRONA (nature preservation branch of the Guardia Civil) has been investigating cases of poaching in the park. The Junta de Andalucia (regional

We have had phenomenal interest in the building already and I think that this will only accelerate when people see work underway on the site.” Pete continues, “The building will offer a range of benefits

never seen before in Gibraltar from ready-to-move-into superpremium office space with a stunning double-height 24-hour reception through to advanced well-being systems which minimise sick building syndrome and keep staff healthy and motivated. “The building provides many features that companies in Gibraltar are telling us are important, such as an independent electricity supply meaning no power cuts, lightning-fast internet connectivity and pre-installed services like air-conditioning which make occupation very easy. Given the level of reservations we already have, there is no doubt in my mind that World Trade Center will become the heartbeat of the Gibraltar business community and the obvious home for any new businesses looking to relocate here. The best businesses will always seek the signature address.”

continue looking after the animals and paying all their bills. The animals in their care don’t know that their income drops dramatically at this time of year - they still need to be fed and looked after and they need the money to continue to take care of them. Would you be kind enough to support them at this time by making a donation? Payments can be made at the shelter or

A case of mutual domestic violence LOCAL POLICE in Malaga have detained a couple for mutual ill treatment of each other in front of their daughter. The man also had a restraining order on him and was not legally allowed to be in the country. The argument started when the couple, both foreign, had a disagreement about the custody of their five-year-old daughter - the woman wanted to pick her up on Sunday but, according to the man, she should remain with him until Monday - which escalated and ended in mutual, physical aggression. When the police arrived they found the woman on the front steps of the building, bleeding from her nose, and claiming that her ex-partner, who was in the house with their daughter, was

responsible. Police officers entered the building and found the daughter to be in a good physical condition and the father claiming that his ex-partner had hurt herself and bitten him on the hand officers examined his hand and found the injury to be compatible with a bite and then proceeded to arrest both adults. The man had a criminal record for domestic violence and two arrests for other crimes including swindling. The couple have been detained and their daughter left in the custody of the present partner of her father until a family member can be located to pick her up. Both parents should be released on bail before the end of the week.

Stolen dog back with its owner VALUABLE: German Braco hunting dog taken from wasteland.

A MAN has been detained by the Local Police in Malaga for stealing a dog which is thought to be worth €3,600.

The animal, a German Braco hunting dog, was allegedly stolen from waste ground near the centre of the city. The dog’s owner saw a van drive off with his dog inside and reported it to the police. That same afternoon the dog’s owner found the van in question, parked near the Churriana area, and went straight to the Local Police to advise them that the culprit could still be in the area. Officers accompanied the man to the van and found two dogs: one, the German Braco, belonging to the man who had made the complaint, and another which had no paperwork. The second dog has been taken to the animal protection services until either a new owner can be found or its previous owner located. The van’s owner told police that he had found the dog running loose and decided to look after it as it appeared to have no one with it. The original owner was able to demonstrate that the dog was his, not just by the animal’s obvious pleasure at seeing him again but because his information was on the dog’s chip. Police have detained the van driver, but not yet charged him.

Suspicious planning GUARDIA CIVIL in Malaga have been investigating the city’s planning department. The investigations centre on the burning of around 300,000 square metres in the Churriana area, which was reclassified by the council as building land but considered by the Junta (regional government) as not fit for building on. Too many people connected to the planning department could allegedly benefit from the reclassification, sources said.

A witness to the incident testified that the woman maintained an extremely aggressive attitude at all times and was shouting threats continuously. The witness also testified the woman had caused severe damage to the victim’s car with a hammer, and this had cost the victim another €649.

Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading shortterm lender. Every week we talk about different lending solutions that Hola Credito has provided – this week – a short-term loan helps bridge the gap between a flood and an insurance payout.

Fast funding for SOS MOST people have comprehensive house insurance – it is one of life’s essentials. But sometimes even the best insurance companies take a while to pay their clients’ claims. Hola Credito stepped in recently to help one householder pay for essential repairs before they had received their insurance money. “We had been away on holiday, and returned to our worst nightmare – our lovely apartment had been flooded because of a neighbour’s burst pipe,” said the client. “The water damage was pretty bad, and our neighbour’s insurance company was not being very efficient. We needed cash to pay for repairs quickly.” The client had used Puerta Banus based Hola Credito before, and had been very happy with the fast, efficient, and discreet way in which they were dealt with, so emailed them to see if they could use their 30m Heesen motor yacht as security for a loan.

Within hours Hola Credito had agreed a loan, and the client could start repair work on their apartment. “Thanks to Hola Credito we got most of the work done before the insurance money arrived – it was such a relief,” the client added. Hola Credito is Spain’s leading shortterm loan company and accepts a range of luxury assets like boats, jewellery, gold, and high-end cars as security. It lends against boats with a minimum current value of €100,000, including all the major boat makers like SunSeeker, Heesen, and Princess. If clients need immediate funds the company can calculate a loan via email, and if agreed, the client can collect the cash from the office, or Hola Credito will transfer the funds to the client’s bank. Loans can be from 14 days to six months, and clients only pay interest on the time they have the loan. Usually Hola Credito can provide loans at 5 per cent per month, with no other charges.

Huge arsenal discovered in Rincon de la Victoria MORE than 200 weapons and explosive devices have been found at a residence in Rincon de la Victoria. Guardia Civil seized the weapons and explosives in what is believed to be the biggest arsenal ever discovered in Spain. Agents from the nature protection services and the organised crime unit of the Guardia Civil confiscated the stockpile from the house when they were investigating the man under orders from the Operation Yedra case. This involved the investigation of possible cases of money laundering and urban planning. During the first part of the investigations the police arrested eight people, among them

two employees of Malaga Council’s Planning Department and one Local Police officer. During one of the searches, the police came across several weapons and, after further inquiries as to their provenance, they were led to the house in Rincon de la Victoria where they found the arsenal. Sources within the police have commented that the man had no involvement with any of the security forces or with the army. He has been described as an opportunist who takes on any profession. Neither his neighbours nor the police could believe the amount of weaponry hidden in his house; there were rifles as well as pistols – some old and some in perfect condition – there were

even artillery shells, hand grenades, machine guns, sniper rifles and mortars. The bomb disposal squad had to be called in to ensure the safety of the officers present and to ensure the safe transportation of the weapons. The police’s next step is to discover where all the weaponry has come from and if it was destined to be sent somewhere else, as well as investigating the ramifications of a private individual being in possession of such a large arsenal. They will also be looking into whether any of the guns have been used in the commission of a crime. The man is in prison on remand until police can clarify matters. Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing.

Organised drugs party is busted by Malaga police THE organiser of a drugs party in Malaga has been arrested. The man, allegedly, arranged parties in the Guadalmar area of Malaga in which cocaine, magic mushrooms, ecstasy, hashish, speed and many other drugs were easily bought. The Local Police stopped the event, which was taking place very near to a residential area, and detained the organiser. As the police went in, the local youth came out in droves hoping to avoid any contact with the local law enforcement. Around 70 youths were stopped and searched and some of these, the majority of them being between the ages of 18 and 25, were found to be in possession of illegal substances like cocaine or hashish. The organiser of the party, 26, was found to have 17 sealed bags of ecstasy on him with a total weight of

8.1 grammes. The police officers also found a hideaway below the stage which contained five sealed bags of amphetamine sulphate (speed) with a weight of 4.3 grammes and inside a football game they found a chunk of hashish weighing 6 grammes: Being the organiser of the party and the person responsible for the space these illegal drugs were attributed to him. Next to the stage area the police found 16 marihuana plants, still growing in pots, which they cut down and confiscated along with the rest of the illegal haul which contained a mirrored table for the consumption of cocaine and various specialised items associated with taking drugs. The organiser has been charged with crimes against public health, drug trafficking and disturbing a residential area with illegal commerce.

Illegal distribution of sexual images A YOUNG man of 20 has been detained by the National Police in connection with distributing sexual images of a young woman on contact sites on the internet. Apparently the victim had refused to have a serious relationship with the culprit.

When complete strangers started to get in touch with the young woman she had no idea what was going on. People would get in touch directly, using her phone number to call and send text messages - sometimes of an extremely

graphic nature, and ask if she was available for trios or to meet up for ‘games.’ Eventually she asked the callers why they were calling and they explained that they had got her details from a

contact page on the internet - it displayed her name, phone number and a picture of her and stated that she was available for ‘fun and games.’ She immediately got in touch with the police and explained what was going on. They investigated and, through advanced technological inquiries, managed to identify and locate a man in Granada kilos, was taken away from the who was posting her images on the site. premises.

AT THE PUMP: Petrol in Spain is cheaper than in other EU countries

Petrol prices going down again and Spain below EU average THE price of petrol and diesel went down for the second week in a row last week. Average prices have gone down since the beginning of July when they had reached an historic high just before the holiday season. Despite this, prices are still 3 per cent higher than they were at the beginning of the year. Petrol and diesel have gone down by 0.55 per cent and 0.74 per cent respectively, giving drivers a bit of a

breather after the highs of the beginning of the month. The average price of petrol, across all the providers, is now €1.444 per litre when it was €1.456, and diesel is at €1.327, before it was at €1.346. The price of fuel in Spain is still under the European average: Spanish consumers are paying a yearly average of approximately €1.589 per litre while in most of Europe consumers are paying €1.616.

Unbelievable talent: Joaquín Cortés is the universal gypsy WORLD-RENOWNED flamenco dancer and choreographer, Joaquin Cortes, is acclaimed throughout the world. He has performed in Theatre Champs Elysees and at the Royal Albert Hall, among others, and UNESCO has recognised his artistic legacy and ‘Universal Heritage’. He is now in Marbella to perform his show Gitano at the Puente Romano Hotel on July 25 and 26. Euro Weekly News caught up with Joaquin to ask him a few questions: Joaquín, what do you think of Marbella? “Well, my father was from Málaga, and although I was born in Cordoba I have been coming here since I was a little boy. I love it here.” What things do you like to do while you are here? “I try to see as much of my family as I can, but I also love to take long walks on the paseo. This is a very beautiful area.” How does it feel to be named one of the best 10 dancers in world history, behind Rudolf Nureyev, Fred Astaire and Mikhail Baryshnikov, but before Michael Jackson? “Being on that list is a dream come true. Being compared to these great dancers and being the only Spanish person on the list is a great honour.” How do you remain humble? “My family educated me with good values. And I try to treat everyone with respect.” You must have some great anecdotes. Can you tell us one? “I was invited to perform at the White House by then President George

W. Bush. It was a very important occasion as it was the first time a Spanish person had been there and it was in celebration of Hispanic Day. I was going to perform with eight musicians and one of them was Cuban. They told me that a Cuban person was not allowed in the White House, but I refused to perform unless I had all my musicians and the White House agreed to let him in. When the day came to perform, he arrived with a shirt with the words CUBA on it. I thought I was going to be put in jail! Artistic respect rather than politics had prevailed.” What can we expect to see on Friday and Saturday? “There will be 40 musicians and dancers alongside me, and two acts, the first diving deep into flamenco roots, and the second act will fuse flamenco with jazz, contemporary music, and more. I hope people enjoy it.”

RENFE must negotiate or risk a train strike

THE CCOO (communist party workers union) has organised a train strike for July 31. The UGT (general transport union) has stated that it will not be participating in the strike. July 31 is one of the busiest days of the year for the train services (RENFE) as it is when the changeover of people returning home and going on holiday happens. The CCOO stated that the strike could be avoided if RENFE accedes to their demands and sits down to negotiate with them. The demands of the CCOO include the contracting of at least 1,400 new workers and the building of new high-speed lines as well as the internalisation of maintenance contracts. The CCOO is also asking that RENFE puts ticket inspectors back on to regional trains as it considers that their removal was unfair and places undue responsibility on the drivers. Manuel Nicolas Taguas, Secretary General of the FSC-CCOO

Officers save baby left inside car VALLADOLID Municipal Police officers rescued a baby from certain heatstroke. The four-month-old child was left in the car by the mother at 1pm with the doors locked and the windows rolled up while she ran some errands. Local residents called the police after they saw the baby was restless and having a crying fit inside the locked vehicle. During the heat wave that hit Spain last week, temperatures in Valladolid reached 35°C (95°F). Given the danger to the baby’s life resulting from the scorching heat, the police decided to break one of the car’s windows and pull the baby out. He was rushed to a nearby hostel where the officers washed his face and hydrated him. The mother, 35, arrived minutes later and said she was just running some errands down the street. She promised to take the baby to a hospital to have him undergo a

VERY PHYSICAL: Nature makes women different from men.

All male firefighters MADRID Mayor Ana Botella explained this week why there are no women among the new group of firefighters joining the city’s fire department. Botella said she is a firm advocate for women’s equality after being asked in a press conference about the absence of women. However, she added that special physical conditions are required to join the fire department. “Physical conditions between women and men are different. Nature makes us different and that is why there are no women in this group of 214 firefighters,” she explained. “Ana Botella is sometimes reckless when giving her opinion,” said municipal PSOE spokesperson Jaime Lissavetzky. “I do not usually agree with her and in this case I do

not agree with her either.” In 2011, seven women wishing to join Madrid’s fire department challenged the demanding physical tests all candidates are required to take claiming they were “discriminatory” and “impossible for women to pass.” One of the most controversial physical tests required candidates to cover a distance of 110 metres in 18 seconds carrying 12 kilograms of weight (six on each hand). “A man could do it but it would be impossible for a woman,” said Pedro Manonelles, President of the Spanish Sports Medicine Federation. Esperanza Vicente Alguacil, 37, was the first woman to join Madrid’s Fire Department after successfully completing all required tests in 1985.

Other items covered by the new law are the prohibition of tying up an animal for more than two hours or leaving them in the car for more than 20 minutes as well as the reduction in the amount that an owner can be fined - this has been brought down to a maximum of €600 for a serious offence and €100 for a light offence.

Massive drug bust in Guadalajara NATIONAL POLICE have confiscated 144 kilos of speed, the largest amount ever confiscated in Spain and the largest amount found in Europe so far this year. The organisation, which allegedly brought it in from Holland and usually deals in cocaine, was intending to sell it on mainland Spain. The National Police have detained all 11 members of the gang who were using their contacts in the cocaine distributing world to sell the speed. The gang would reportedly bring in the speed in liquid form from Holland and store it in freezers, located in a chalet in Guadalajara, which is where the police found it and dismantled a laboratory which had all the necessary paraphernalia to prepare the drug for its sale. Along with the 144 kilos of speed the police also confiscated

hydraulic presses, moulds, precision scales, test tubes, syringes, €4,500 in cash, four top-of-the-range vehicles and other items used in the treatment of the drug. Investigations began when the police became aware of a 37year-old man, of Colombian nationality, who they believed to be the head of the organisation and whose job it was to manage the distribution, transportation and cutting of the drugs. Having mounted a surveillance operation on his residence, the investigating officers were then able to observe a large vehicle which arrived from Holland and transferred its contents to a smaller, less obtrusive, van. The cargo was then transported to the chalet in Guadalajara for subsequent distribution. Eight of the 11 detained are on remand in prison until their cases can be heard; the other three are out on bail for the moment.

In addition, the country has achieved a 6 per cent rise in technology and innovation.

Avoid falling victim to foreclosure THERE are a number of recommendations that people can follow to avoid falling victim to a foreclosure. Between January and March 2014, there were 18,971 foreclosures in Spain. To avoid foreclosures, the Spanish website idealista.com advises people to not be so easily fooled by bank advertising and by Euribor rates when they are down lest they get a nasty surprise a few years down the road. Mortgage expert Juan Villen says people should not wait until a date for the auction sale has been set or until a judicial process has already begun. It is a always good idea to ask an expert for advice if people find themselves unable to make sense of the foreclosure process. One solution is to “renegotiate the mortgage with the bank.” However, mortgagers should be aware that banks are currently “not very open to this type of negotiation.” They tend to avoid this unless they have no other choice after a client fails to pay. Idealista.com advises mortgagers to renegotiate with what they own. Should the problem get any worse after a renegotiation, people should probably consider selling the property. There are cases where “the mortgage balance is higher than the property price. The bank then accepts the sale and considers the difference to be a personal loan.” Under no circumstances whatsoever should mortgagers think about “additional mortgage collaterals in exchange for refinancing,” says idealista.com.

Regulation changes for façades on buildings within a community T

HE façade of an apartment or community building legally belongs to all the owners within the community. Until last year any changes to a façade would require the consent of all the owners before the change or alteration could take place. A 100 per cent vote, unanimously in favour of the changes. If every owner attended or was represented at the meeting, the vote would require them all to vote in favour of the change. Should not all the owners be present, legally there would be a presumed yes vote from those who did not inform the community of their disagreement within 30 days of receiving the minutes. Agreement by default. Realising that just one owner could cause problems by voting against the changes and possibly prevent a much needed improvement or modernisation, the Spanish government approved a modification to the Law of Horizontal Properties on 28th June 2013. An important change that many communities and owners are still not aware of. The modification now requires only a “special majority” to approve a change to the façade of a community building.

Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor and Property Administrator for Intercala Administration joseluis@intercala.com

www.intercala.com with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

Instead of 100 per cent, if just 60 per cent of the owners, who collectively own 60 per cent of the community agree, then they can legally approve a change to the outside of the building. Previously even to enclose a terrace or balcony required the approval of all the owners plus of course the appropriate building licence from the local town hall. A special majority vote is calculated in much the same way a unanimous vote is. Count up those present or represented at the meeting who are voting yes and then add the votes of those not present, who will be considered to be in favour of the change, unless they inform the community to the contrary with 30 days of receiving the minutes of the meeting. This example is of how a vote could go in a community of 100 owners where each owner has a voting quota (coefficient) of 1 per cent. If, although

unlikely, 60 individual owners with 1 per cent each attend the meeting or are represented and they all vote in favour, then the special majority is achieved. If 15 owners attend, and 10 vote yes and 5 no and out of the 85 owners not attending, only 5 registered their disagreement (within the required 30 days) then the remaining 80 owners voting neither for or against - will, according to the law, be deemed to be in favour of the change and added to the yes vote. The result, a 90 per cent vote in favour of the change, from 90 per cent of the owners, owning 90 per cent of the community, 10 per cent at the meeting and an 80 per cent yes vote by default from the absentees. As solicitors for Intercala administration we strongly recommend readers of our monthly article to avail themselves of competent advice regarding all matters concerning the law.

Market back on its feet SPAIN’S real-estate market seems to be finally getting back on its feet. According to the National Statistics Institute (INE), property sales in May rose by 12.6 per cent with respect to the previous month. The biggest annual increases in May were seen on the Balearic Islands

(33.1 per cent), Cantabria (30.4 per cent), Andalucia (10.7 per cent) and Cataluña (3.1 per cent). On the other hand, Castilla-La Mancha, Galicia and Madrid saw the largest decreases, with 15.2 per cent, 6 per cent and 5.5 per cent respectively.

Looking up B

RAND SPAIN is well past the point of recovery and is now surging ahead. According to a survey, the country’s international image has risen thanks to law reforms and economic growth, with 90 per cent of reports about Spain being seen as positive. There is much to be positive about, although unemployment and poverty are still at scandalously high levels. But the country has returned to growth, tourism figures are hitting record levels, car sales – so often the barometer of growth – are up and many say the property market has turned the corner. So are the green shoots of recovery showing? Yes, they are, and don’t let anyone try to talk the country down. In the Press there are many who take the easy option of sensationalist gloom. It’s easy to be pessimistic, but better to face the future with optimism. How other countries see Spain matters, so let’s

Looky here… Louise Elliot has taken a controversial look at the darker side of Looky-Looky men. Is she right to say that they are a nuisance and controlled by criminals? Maybe and maybe not, but what is clear is the tolerance and generosity of spirit shown by expatriates, as demonstrated in our Street Talk feature.

Trading ceased in 2008 after Spanish-French Altadis, which owned the Fortuna and Gauloise brands, was acquired by Imperial Tobacco for €12.6 billion.

MARKETS and Competition regulator, the CNMC, criticised ‘random’ increases in Spain’s pre-tax fuel prices. They are the highest in the EU and the CNMC cited the ‘rocket and feather effect’ of asymmetric pricing which occurs when the price of petrol goes up like a rocket as soon as oil costs more. When the price of oil goes down, petrol prices feather down very slowly, enabling retailers to take advantage of the perception that prices should be high. In May, the CNMC noted, the price of 95 octane petrol rose to €1.431 per litre, a 0.3 per cent increase on April while diesel cost €1.332 a litre. At the beginning of this month, coinciding with the summer exodus and the Iraq conflict, 95 octane petrol cost an average €1.45 and diesel €1.35. Independent petrol stations offered the cheapest prices in May, while amongst the principal operators, BP’s prices were the lowest for the fourth consecutive month. Cepsa abandoned the usual practice of lining up its

against fraud in the years ahead. Moreover, at EU level, the past five years have seen major advances in shaping a stronger antifraud landscape. These initiatives can have a marked impact on fraud levels, once they are fully implemented. Algirdas Semeta, Commissioner for Taxation, Customs, Statistics, Audit and Anti-Fraud, said: “In the last five years, the Commission has taken the fight against fraud to a new level. Our commitment to protect citizens’ money from fraudsters is clear from the tough and ambitious new rules, initiatives and frameworks we have put forward. Now it is time for Member States to play their part more effectively. They need to step up their game in preventing, detecting and prosecuting those who try to defraud the EU budget.” According to the report, EU fraud decreased slightly in 2013.

MANY budding business entrepreneurs imagine themselves to be future captains of industry. Theirs will be a life of razor-sharp decision making in a highly charged competitive environment. Being part of the jet-set and rubbing shoulders with the elite adds to the lure of business success. Cold reality suggests very few people possess the mindset of the super rich or would wish to. I recall partners of a small double glazing company winning several million on the lottery.

Garcia was granted €600,000 bail, against the wishes of the Prosecution department which claimed there was a risk that he might leave the country. Meanwhile, PWC cannot carry out an audit, the company said, because the assignment was never formalised in writing. It has not been afforded the ‘minimum conditions’ necessary for carrying out the audit and without an authorised contact at Gowex, PWC said, it cannot access the “indispensable” information it needs.

HORSE POWER: Cheaper than petrol? stations’ prices with Repsol’s, the CNMC noted. The regulator attributed the situation to lack of competition, since the three principal operators enjoy ‘substantial advantages’ compared with the remainder. These include their integration with refineries and links with the transport network monopoly CLH, together with other operators’ difficulties when trying to break into the Spanish retail

market. This had prompted the exit of several international operators after the fuel market’s deregulation in 1998, the CNMC said. Repsol, Cepsa, DISA, Meroil and GALP are currently under investigation for agreeing prices and ‘exchanging business information.’ Repsol, Cepsa and BP are also accused of coordinating prices between operators and distribution companies.

PWC washes its hands PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS (PWC) refused to carry out a forensic audit for Gowex. The Spanish Wi-Fi network provider filed for bankruptcy a week after admitting it misrepresented its accounts for 10 years. Beforehand, and as rumours began to acquire substance, the Gowex CEO Jenaro Garcia announced that he had commissioned an audit by PWC. The courts are now weighing up whether to accuse Garcia of rigging company accounts and improper use of insider information.

EU fraud down 21 per cent says commission EU Member States must step up their work to prevent, detect and report fraud affecting EU funds, according to the European Commission’s annual report on the protection of financial interests (PIF). The report sets out detailed recommendations on areas national authorities should focus on in this respect. The report finds that detected fraud in EU spending accounts for less than 0.2 per cent of all funds. Nevertheless, the Commission believes that greater efforts at national level both on combating and detecting fraud should be deployed. The annual PIF report therefore recommends, amongst other things, that Member States review their controls to ensure they are riskbased and well-targeted. On the positive side, the report notes that good progress is being made at national level to implement new rules and policies which will strengthen the fight

It explains much about our society. It also explains why to my credit I never got past first grade management level. There are of course rich men whose psychological make-up is the opposite to such failings; I have been acquainted with both kinds.

Don’t let your holiday cash pay for a thief’s vacation - take a few tips... THE motorbike revved up and sped down the narrow street. Next thing my unassuming friend found her handbag being tugged off her shoulder. She was being robbed in broad daylight. The force and speed of the motorbike was unfortunately no match for her biceps, so she lost her belongings to the thief. The heat of summer zaps us of energy and if we are not aware enough it can also zap us of our mobile phone, wallet, credit cards and much more if opportunity seeking robbers decide to take advantage of us. Street robbery is commonplace these days and it can be a big financial crush too depending on the contents of a bag.

A mobile is a pricey item, as are designer glasses or sunglasses,

not to mention a loaded wallet of cash. So how do we help avoid thieves lightening us of our load? Don’t be too showy Dressing down might not be a bad idea if you want to avoid the attention of a thief. Expensive clothing just advertises to the general public that you are filthy stinking rich.

You and the Earlier this year I hired an apartment Law in Spain that turned out to be far below By David Searl standard. I contacted the owner, detailing some of the problems with the apartment, and asked for a partial refund. Rather than address my complaint, the owner simply accused me of being offensive, I have photographs of some of the issues. The owner lives in England, Can I denounce her or what are my options? A.S. (by email) A. Almost all consumer complaints in Spain can be directed to the local OMIC, the consumer office, in the municipality involved. This is the Oficina Municipal de Información al Consumidor, the Consumer Information Office. Take copies of your communications with the owner, her name and address of the flat in Spain, your photos and any record of payment to her. They should help you to fill in the official Hoja de Reclamación, the complaint form. If the owner has an agent in Spain, address your complaint and request for refund to this agent. If you rented through the Internet, you can inform the advertising website of any problems.

Robbers don’t have X-ray vision: they notice your look and probably guess what’s in the wallet by that. Trick the thief - Carry a wallet just for robbers. Put in a bit of low value currency and a few fake credit cards etc. Meanwhile put high value bills and real credit cards in

another place - your socks, inside pocket wherever is handy. If you get robbed then just hand the ‘robber’s wallet’ over! Hit the gym - Obviously the more in shape a person looks could deter a robber from committing a crime. Reason might have us believe that a thief would attack a wimpy looking person rather than a ripped person! If muscles aren’t your thing then maybe just try to appear super confident on the street - especially as a tourist in a foreign country. Confidence tells a thief that you’re liable to fight to get your money back. And guys - Get that wallet out of your back pocket - it’s not safe there!!!

Losses stemmed FASHION label Adolfo Dominguez finished the first quarter of its fiscal year with losses of €644,000. This is 74.8 per cent less than during the same period last year.

Second thoughts THE government is likely to tweak its plans to tax redundancy pay at source. The contemplated exemption of the first €2,000 per year worked will almost certainly be increased, Hacienda said.

Mood swings over Spanish banking CHIEF ECONOMIST: Lucio Vinhas de Souza of Moody’s Investors Service. MOODY’S INVESTORS SERVICE still has concerns about Spain’s banking system. Despite recent improvements, soon-to-be introduced banking framework from Brussels could bring increased risk, the ratings’ agency said. Spain’s macroeconomic conditions, liquidity and capitalisation have taken a turn for the better, Moody’s acknowledged in its Banking System Outlook: Spain report.

Prospects for economic recovery are good, with a 1.2 per cent increase in this year’s GDP and a 1.7 per cent forecast for 2015. This will provide the foundations for gradual stabilisation of the banking sector, Moody’s said. Nevertheless, none of these factors has persuaded Moody’s to modify its negative outlook for the country’s banks. “Europe’s new bank resolution framework has increased credit risks for

senior unsecured creditors and drives the negative outlook for the system,” it explained. Banks will continue to be affected by the real estate sector, whose excessive offer of residential property will result in persistently falling prices, the agency predicted. The volume of bad loans is still very high, it pointed out, and is likely to remain at ‘very high levels’ owing to the flagging economic cycle.

OPINION & COMMENT

Preoccupation with manners of others is a real turn-off WHY are the English so preoccupied with manners? Not their own of course, but other people’s. If I get into an argument with an English person aged between 35 and 50 because they have been trying to run me over at a zebra crossing or their dog bit me or their child s**t on my shoe (it may have been the other way around, I don’t remember), it invariably turns into a discussion of manners: my manners. They will concede that I have a right to be upset, “But it’s the way you say it. You have to say it with a smile!” they say unsmilingly. If I insist, mildly, that my manners are not the primary problem, or even (heaven forbid) dare to suggest that they have some sort of responsibility with regard to their child or dog, it will invariably end with them threatening me with physical violence: “If you ever talk to me/my wife/my child like that again I will smash your head in.” The threat as such is not the problem, I don’t want to talk to them, I never did. I just want them not to push me, spit on me or run me over. I can walk away, but the attitude puzzles me. Are English bar brawls nowadays about who is more polite? And I have yet to find someone less inclined to smile than a 42year-old Englishwoman. Or less polite. What is it that I have missed? Birger, Nerja (Malaga)

By appointment I WAS so glad to read in the Euro Weekly News that bogus gas inspectors have been arrested by the Guardia Civil.

It must be a very lucrative business because it has been going on for years and they seem to do the rounds regularly where I live, yet people still fall for it. Indeed, there was a tale of woe on these pages not so long ago. It’s been many years since I fell into their trap. It cost me dear but we all learn from our mistakes and now when they knock on my door I turn them away. Fortunately I speak some Spanish but these men are persistent and they can be rather intimidating and will try to imply that you are breaking the law if you don’t let them in. I shudder to think how easily some of my fellow Brits are going to fall into their clutches. Just remember gas inspectors come to your home only if you have called them yourself.

have a flutter on the legal gaming machines in some bars. Based on my own experience, do not waste your money unless the rules are clearly available. About a year ago I placed a bet on a winning horse only for it to be disqualified. Payment was refused under their rules which were not available at the time but were verified as being correct by the gaming concern. Imagine my delight on having another bet on a horse which finished second and was promoted to first place by the stewards, giving me a winning bet. Once again, however, payment was refused due to their rules which were still not available. The decision was once again upheld by the gaming concern, but as a gesture of goodwill they kindly offered to settle the bet as void, therefore giving me my stake money back. What a cheek! My advice to punters is to avoid these machines at all costs. Keith Stobbart (by email)

Belt and braces THEY say that Homo Sapiens is the only species that stubs its toe twice on the same stone. The first time was the tragic high-speed train accident last July in Santiago de Compostela, when an ultramodern ‘Alvia’ bullet train derailed, killing 79 passengers and injuring 130. It was not equipped with passenger seat belts, although no Spanish news media at the time deemed such a glaring and fatal flaw worthy of comment. Last May my wife was a passenger on the AVE high-speed train from Valencia to Madrid. She and a friend can testify to the fact that the AVE fleet of bullet trains which reach speeds of over 300 kilometres an hour are not equipped with passenger seat belts either. Why not? Does it cost so much to install them? How much is a life worth? We are obliged by law to fasten and ‘buckle up for safety’ with stiff fines guaranteed if we don’t in private cars and taxis. They’re obligatory in Spain on all school buses, long-distance coaches, planes and even some ships. Wouldn’t seat belts have saved at least some, if not many, precious lives in the ill-fated derailment last August? Richard M McBride, Benidorm

Purely by coincidence I was ensconced in the hotel opposite the one occupied by the Beatles, who were in America for the first time to perform a number of venues, including an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Cilla and some of the entourage, including Brian Epstein, were also staying in the same hotel. When I was introduced and spent some quality time with Cilla I found her bright, unassuming and a veritable bundle of fun. Well, the years have certainly taken care of that. The tirade of self-pitying drivel that has emerged this week simply defies the imagination. And the reason? Wait for it. She’s going deaf.

So where did all the money go? Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

ORMER Libyan President Gaddafi intended to create the African Dinar. Doing so would reduce his country’s trading dependence on the Petrodollar and Euro. His impudence was tantamount to signing his own death warrant. You don’t mess with Wall Street or the energy conglomerates. The Libyan leader was simultaneously negotiating with Russia looking to increase its influence in the Mediterranean basin. Libya, a former US and British responsibility, looked like falling under the influence of arch trading rival Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia’s state guided energy giant Gazprom had already sunk $10 billion (€7.4 billion) into developing Libyan infrastructure in return for its unique type of oil. From the perspective of the West even tribal anarchy was preferable to such a threat. In North Korean style orchestrated media, at the raising of Wall Street’s baton,

PRESIDENT GADDAFI: His impudence was tantamount to signing his death warrant. suggested the Libyan leader was a threat to the West. The more astute were sceptical but cynicism was overruled. Wall Street, Washington and the Square Mile sent in the heavies. NATO did its job and the rest is history. The question is, where did the gold bullion once in the chambers of the Libyan National Bank end up? There was an estimated 143 tonnes of gold bars in those

vaults. Libya was listed 25th in the top 20 gold deposits in the world. The Libyan leader could liquefy all or part of Libya’s gold as he wished. As reported in The Times, banking houses refused to buy or trade Libyan gold. Cornered President Gaddafi could only make the bullion work by trade barter: Bartering gold for hard currency and using the cash to develop infrastructure, build

hospitals, schools, modern highways, subsidise Libyan homes and businesses. Knowing the fate of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, who too had threatened to switch currencies, the Libyan leader is thought to have moved the bullion from Tripoli to perhaps Sebhah. From there it could be easily transferred to the friendly African Republic of Chad. It might be just coincidence but Chad soon after was caught up in unrest. It needs Western help and NATO troops are again sent in to ‘provide assistance and stability’ or an excuse to seek Gaddafi’s gold. There are many happen-stance similar in nature. The Sudan and Nigeria are also caught up in unrest and need Western help. Coincidence that they are the only two countries in Africa sitting on enormous mineral deposits. The question remains, where is President Gaddafi’s elusive gold bullion? The Libyan leader was a close confidant of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy; the two worked on many deals. Does Nicolas Sarkozy have the key to the gold’s whereabouts? The former statesman has since been charged with corruption and faces a long term in prison, unless he spills the beans.

Attraction or a drain on resources? ARE looky-looky men a tourist attraction or a drain on the Spanish system as they don’t pay IVA, tax or Social Security?

OST of the people we spoke to had a sympathetic view of looky-looky men. Business Development Executive at Currencies Direct, in Mallorca, Christian Severinsen, said: “I believe that the tendency reflects a deeper issue in society. Whether or not they are a drain on the Spanish society or a tourist attraction, I can’t say, but the fact remains that they are human beings and European society as a whole should think seriously about how we are going to tackle increased immigration in the future.” Wendy Lester at Spanish CHRISTIAN SEVERINSEN

STREET TALK Property Choice, Mojacar, Almeria, said: “As long as they are not overly persistent, I don’t have a problem with them. They are just trying to scratch a living like the rest of us and there are plenty of other people evading tax here, too, without the horrific background these people have come from.” Sue Mercier from Suki Sailing Yacht Trips, Almuñecar, Granada, remarked: “I don’t think they are a drain on the system, as I don’t think they use the system. As they may be here illegally, they cannot claim unemployment or use Social Security. They could be a tourist attraction if there were not too many of them.” Julie Law from Yorkshire Linen Warehouse, Mijas, Malaga, commented: “Everybody has to survive, so I don’t think they are a drain or a tourist attraction, especially now as they are not as intrusive as they used to be five or 10 years ago.They give you your space.”

JULIE LAW

On the Costa Blanca Lara Aguilera from Albir’s Royal Aesthetic Clinic said: “For me it is sad to see how they need to do these jobs. I think there should be a system in place to get them back to their home country or help them exist legally in Spain.” Terri Hughes from La Finca de Eduardo’s Restaurant, Campoamor, had mixed views: “It is a difficult one. Tourists do seem to like the lookylooky men but some of them drive me mad. I think it is all part of the tourist experience. If they were not doing that, would they turn to crime?” TERRI HUGHES: Part of tourist experience.

LARA AGUILERA: Help should be in place for them.

rates, especially in Europe. Health spending accounted for 9.3 per cent of GDP on average across OECD

countries in 2012, little changed from 9.2 per cent in 2011, but up from 8.6 per cent before the crisis. While spending on hospital and outpatient care grew in many countries in 2012, almost two-thirds of OECD countries have experienced real falls in pharmaceutical spending since 2009. These reductions have been driven by price cuts, often through negotiations with manufacturers, and a growing share of the generic market. This share has increased due to patent expirations for a number of high-volume, high-cost branded drugs.

Pet Care Guidelines: ‘Get to Know’ the Pet Sitter BY Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch MANY pet owners are happy to find sitters through friends even, if unknown to them personally. However, more and more pet owners use online networks to find sitters online. But as an owner how can you be sure the sitter is really experienced and caring? Vetting helps, you can use an agency or do it yourself. Experience in running a pet and house sitter network says that before you commit to any sitter, it is best to take a few steps yourself to learn about their pet care experience. Here are my guidelines: 1. Meet and Greet Ideally you would introduce the sitter to your pets personally before the sit, watch how each reacts. 2. Communicate Regularly - Before and after the sitter enters

your home communicate regularly, learn about them; ask their history. 3. Previous Pet Ownership/Experience Ask about their personal pet ownership experience. 4. Understanding Pet Routines - Anyone who cares for a pet will understand that there are different feeding and care routines, but pets are usually creatures of habit. 5. References/Police Checks - Ask for recent references. Police checks are very useful too. Download your Free Easy Guide to Housesitting from here www.bit.ly/eurown001

To find a petsitter go to our website www.HousesitMatch. com or call Lamia on 0044 1865 521508.

IT’S all about body language. When a cat enters a room all the cat lovers start staring at it, they often move towards it, extend their hands and make noises. The non-cat person on the other hand may try to make herself (or himself) as invisible as possible so the cat does not jump on them. This person is likely to sit extremely still, look down and away from the cat, keeping her hands on the lap and maintaining absolute silence. The cat finds this latter display of body language far less threatening so may well move towards the ‘non-cat’ person to explore further! Another interesting question is. Why do cats roll over and show their tummies yet scratch when it is tickled? This may seem like a

case of mixed messages however it’s us that get it wrong! When a cat greets its human companion it makes a display of trust

by exposing its belly. A similar friendly ‘roll’ is often seen when one cat solicits play from another. When a cat does it to us it may be illustrating one of two things;

either it is a sign of trust and any physical contact at this time could look threatening or it is a request for a rough and tumble either way injury will ensue so the temptation to touch should probably be avoided!

Lynn of Majorca sent this picture THIS picture points out that some dogs can enjoy annoying cats and provoke chases just for the fun of it. Also note the cat’s action in the photo mimics what big cats do in the African bush etc of trying to hook the back leg out of its prey and hopefully bring it down.

THE CHASE: The cat thinks it’s in the African bush.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Opposing opinions on a matter close to your heart see you hesitating. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice. The chances are that you know someone who has already been through your situation. Don’t let pride make you miss out on a solution. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Not everything in the garden is rosy but you are made of strong stuff. Your conviction that something is right helps you in discussions. Support given to a loved one may be misguided, especially if it is a huge financial gamble. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a time to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Don’t forget, along the way, to congratulate yourself for all that you have achieved in the last year. Sometimes you do not blow your own trumpet and people appreciate you in a quiet way. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) An appetite for something new means that you tread unknown ground. It’s an exciting time when you may find it easier to do things alone. This does not mean you have to feel alone as others can be told of your progress. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Part of being ‘you’ is your independent mind. Some may try to change that this week. Why would someone want to make you more dependent on them? Could it be that they feel insecure? Giving reassurance may be all that is needed. We all feel the need for appreciation. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Trying to be everything to all people is tiring. No one knows this more than you. Give yourself a little time and space this week because it will make a great difference to your spirits.

This bone-chilling Canadian supernatural horror thriller tells the disturbing story of Lisa Johnson, 15, who is stuck in a never-ending time loop with her family that makes her relive the day she was murdered over and over again. Upon realising she has been dead for a long time, Lisa manages to communicate with the spirits of other murdered girls and with Olivia, a teenager living with her family in the same house Lisa was killed in.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Primarily, you are wanting to see some appreciation. That is understandable given the efforts that you have made. Do not be annoyed, however, if it is a while coming yet. Others are not always as well tuned in as you. If necessary, use a go-between discreetly to make sure of progress.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Keeping an eye on your health is particularly important at the moment. Because you have been active, it could be that you need to give yourself a bit of time. Pampering and just plain relaxing are all going to stand you in good stead during the coming week.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Increased activity in your love life means less time to really concentrate on business. Make sure that priority financial matters are dealt with. Not doing so will see you kicking yourself later on. A close relationship is going well. There’s no reason to wonder why, the charm offensive is obviously working.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Opening your mind to a new idea has convinced you that it is time for a change in direction. This is such a time, but not all changes will be permanent. Give yourself a way out of any situation this week. Using your tact and charm, it will require only a little application to please everyone.

July 30: Lisa Kudrow, 50. TV and film actress. This actress rose to fame as Phoebe in the hit series Friends – she has won many Screen Actors Guild Awards and an Emmy.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Improvising within a new business situation may not give you the perfect answer to a problem. What it will do, however, is give you an insight into the way others live. Until now, your approach to life may have been a little one-sided. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A recent holiday has set your mind racing. This being a romantic time means that you can get a little over-excited. Your romance may not be set to last but you should fully enjoy it nonetheless. Relatives issue words of warning but they have only your best interests at heart.

THE TOP TEN RECORD SHATTERING ALIEN PLANETS WE used to believe that the Earth was the centre of the universe but now we know better - there are lots and lots of planets out there that have genuinely weird characteristics. Here are a few to take note of. 1. The biggest rocky planet: Kepler - 10C This distant planet is around 2.3 times the size of Earth but has more than 17 times the mass. The density of this planet shows that it is made up of rocks and other solids, which is unusual as larger planets are usually made of gases like Saturn. 2. The wettest planet: GJ1214b This planet is also much bigger than Earth but it is made almost entirely of water even though its surface is at a much higher temperature than our world.

The previous youngest known planet was 100 million years old. The scientific community is hoping that knowledge of this planet will lead to a better understanding of how planets are formed.

orbits known to science. Earth takes approximately 8,766 hours to complete its orbit around the sun while this planet makes it in a mere 20 hours. 6. The coldest planet: Ogle-2005-BLG390L B This world is the coldest exoplanet ever discovered and is so far away from its star that it takes 10 Earth years to complete just one orbit. The average temperature is less than -200 degrees Celsius. 7. The hottest planet: Kepler 70-B This planet has surface temperatures of around 7,000 degrees Celsius and has the orbit closest to its star; it is also one of the fastest and smallest planets in its system. When a star becomes a red giant it normally just explodes but this one stabilised and shrank back to its normal size making it even more unusual. 8. The lightest planet: K01-314c This one sets the record for being the lightest alien world ever discovered and although it has more or less the same density as Earth it has a ‘puffy’ atmosphere made up of hydrogen and helium which makes it about 60 per cent larger than our world. 9. The darkest planet: TrES-2b This planet reflects less than one per cent of the light from its star which makes it less reflective than coal or matt black paint. Science is unsure as to what makes it so dark but some theories suggest that there could be a huge amount of sodium in gas form in the atmosphere. 10. The strangest orbit planet: Fomalhaut B This world is also known as the Zombie Planet; in 2008 it was thought to be dead, just a simple dust cloud, but then it rose again to orbit its star in a zig zag pattern - scientists have been unable to understand this one.

Tips for a great fruit salad with flavour

THEREâ€™S more to making a fruit salad than just tossing chopped pieces of random fruit in a bowl. A fruit salad that is alluring to the eye and pleasing to the palate contains seasonal and local fruit. Using produce flown from halfway across the world during its offseason will often result in a mealy and insipid salad. It is also advisable to buy fruit with the same levels of ripeness. There is nothing less appetizing than a salad where some bites are spongy while others too tough. Use fruit with different textures and colours, like orange, green and red. This will help contrast each fruit in the salad. Combining textures keeps the palate engaged and will make for a more

interesting experience. Get rid of all stems, skins and pits. The salad will just look cleaner if every piece of fruit is properly prepped beforehand. Try to use equal parts of each fruit and go for uniformly cut pieces since this will make eating the salad easier. The flavour of the salad can be amplified with juice from lemons or limes and add whipped cream or yogurt. This will add a creamy richness to the fruit salad. FRUIT SALAD: Use fruit with different textures and colours, like orange, green and red.

That was super-judge Baltasar Garzon for accepting as evidence bugged telephone conversations between remanded Gurtel suspects and their lawyers. And now, surprise of all surprises, IU is the only political party facing disciplinary action from the Accounts Tribunal. The former Spanish communist party has accepted donations from anonymous benefactors and some sums were above the €100,000 maximum. Come again?

ELL, did your teacher friend/relative/neighbour receive a designer handbag as an end-of-term gift this summer? According to reports, teachers at some UK fee-paying schools are being handed extravagant gifts by pupils, in a trend driven by hugely wealthy foreign parents. Witnesses have reported seeing “boxes and boxes of Prada and Chanel” outside the headteacher’s office at one west London private school. Indeed, apart from £1,000 handbags, diamond necklaces and free use of the family villa and even private jet, presents at some of these schools have included cases of vintage wine, tablet computers, Savile Row suits and items from luxury brands like Smythson, Hermès and Fortnum and Mason. One mother admitted that she invested in expensive gifts to ensure her son was “always on the teacher’s radar; I expect him to come home and say he was well looked after.” At schools like her son’s where pupils are the offspring of Russian oligarchs or hedge fund supremos, expensive personal gifts are in addition to

Leaning to the left THE PSOE’s brand new secretary general Pedro Sanchez is planning

a left-turn that will help the party win next year’s municipal, regional and general elections. No-one could argue that a leftturn won’t entice left-voters away from IU or the new, antieverything Podemos that poached so many votes in the European elections.

SUPREME irony that PSOE cardcarriers chose Pedro Sanchez instead of Eduardo Madina as the party’s next secretary general. Outgoing leader Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba had wanted Andalucia’s regional president Susana Diaz to succeed him. Madina held out for an open vote that was grudgingly agreed to. Diaz, who wanted “unequivocal unanimity” behind her before she would take on the leadership, withdrew. Sanchez, meanwhile, assured Diaz that he would not make a bid. In some quarters, Madina’s losing out to Sanchez is seen as a punishment vote, a last hurrah from the old order and Andalucia. Despite the new names, politics are still being played within politics.

MINISTERS and those appointed to highranking Administration posts are sworn in before the King. The formality remains the same but the formula has changed since the abdication. Although they must still swear on the Constitution, the bible and a crucifix are brought out only if requested. The change, the Royal Household explained recently, has been made because Spain is a secular state. In fact Spain, roughly one half of which has always been rabidly anti-clerical, was declared a secular state in 1978, thanks to the Constitution. It required 36 years and Felipe VI to make that clear.

and a heavy winter pruning. Before you decide to invest in rose plants recognise that: Although roses can flower for nine months of the year they will not be as continuously flowering or as profusely covered with

flowers as say bougainvilleas or lantanas. Climbers can be planted as an isolated feature or fitted in with other climbers on a wall or pergola but bush roses look best in a dedicated rose bed or garden, planted closely to give a mass of colour. But

as already suggested that means a lot of work deadheading branches as flowers die, as well as a heavy winter pruning. In hot weather roses often last longer if cut and put in a vase than if left on the bush. If one cuts roses for the

Getting a good night’s sleep S

UMMER is the time of year we love. But although we enjoy the warmer days the heat can really take it out of us especially if we are not getting a good night’s sleep as it’s just too hot. We’ve all probably experienced a restless night of tossing and turning from being too hot as healthy sleep requires your body to stay cool throughout the night. Yorkshire Linen has the solution for those restless summer nights in stock. Over the last few years new technology has proven that the natural characteristics of silver threads woven into pillows and

Innovations such as the patented chillow pillow work using a special gel which helps cool you down during the night. This idea has now been incorporated into many new mattresses which have a side made with visco-gel that feels like memory foam but with a lovely cooling effect. These

pillows and mattresses are also popular for those customers who suffer throughout the year with hot flushes, etc. There is a reason why we all sleep so well when we stay in a hotel and lovely soft bed linen, the type they use on hotel beds, is a large contributing factor. Pure Egyptian cotton sheets and pillowcases not only feel good against the skin but because cotton is a natural fibre it allows air to circulate around the body and heat to easily pass through it letting your body breathe. This same principal (using natural products) also applies to duvets and pillows. Duck and goose feather or down is generally deemed to be the most comfortable to sleep under (after all you don’t often see a goose collapsed with heat exhaustion) as the feather or down simply traps in just the right amount of heat needed to keep us cosy without getting too hot.

They have the added benefit in the winter time of stopping the warmth escaping from the same windows, so saving you money on energy bills.

house this reduces the colour in the rose garden unless extensive. This is why many Spaniards, and ourselves, grow their roses alongside their vegetable plots. In general there is less choice of varieties of roses in Spanish nurseries than in northern Europe, some of the varieties you will not recognise, and the best varieties sell out fast. Unless you have a local nursery with a good selection, obtain a few mail order catalogues from UK specialists and order early to avoid disappointments. Don’t buy Spanish roses until you can see them in bloom. One good thing about Spain is that it is easy to propagate roses from cuttings at any time of the year. Only use healthy cuttings and purchase healthy plants. Never allow rose plants to dry out. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com July 2014

New Megane sports model R

ENAULT have come up with a new limited edition sports model of its Megane platform. The Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy is an all-round performance car. A limited edition that combines everyday driveability with even sharper track performance, say Renault. The Cup chassis fully taps the potential of the Renault Sport 2.0T engine, now boosted to 275hp. Renault Sport has allied exceptional dynamic qualities with advanced versatility to create, what without doubt, is the most accomplished sports hatch currently on the market, say the French manufacturers. Patrice Ratti, CEO of Renault Sport Technologies, said: “Pushing back our limits all the time… This is the shared aim and inspiration of all the ‘expert enthusiasts’ at Renault Sport Technologies. When we decided to develop an upgrade to Mégane R.S., the objective was not only to improve the technical specification. We needed a more distinctive model, a car that would be even better on the track while still being suitable for everyday driving. “Reflecting our approach to motorsports, we sought to make progress in every area in order to develop innovative solutions that would make our car the market reference. It’s a car that addresses today’s concerns, with its moderate fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and it is also a

MEGANE R.S. 275 TROPHY: An all-round performance car. strong performer on the track, with the input from technical partners who worked in close cooperation with our staff.” The limited edition Renault Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy carries on a tradition of exclusive sports cars. It gains advanced sports features, designed in co-operation with prestigious partners, including an Akrapovic exhaust system, Öhlins dampers and Michelin tyres. It also features a Cup chassis specially tuned for enthusiasts of sporting performance. Equipped with a limited slip differential, the Cup chassis delivers dependable efficiency at all times, regardless of grip conditions or driving style. A set-up designed for unfailing performance. The limited slip differential is combined with an independent steering-axis layout, allowing drivers to reap the full benefits of the extra traction for a more reassuring handling. It also increases stability on braking. Further, steering potential is enhanced for earlier, and stronger,

acceleration. For Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy - and it sounds the real deal too - the limited series delivers new acoustic sensations with the support of Akrapovic. Renowned for its work with motorcycles and performance cars, the Slovenian firm designed a special titanium exhaust system. This material cuts vehicle weight by four kilos. The carbon tailpipe trim is also by Akrapovic. Fitted as standard, this assembly gives Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy-R a deeper, more raucous sound signature that is sure to thrill engine aficionados! A wide range of settings lets drivers adapt the ride to their personal driving style and to road conditions (slow or fast

track, mountain road, everyday use, etc). Michelin also partners Renault Sport in its competition activities. For this car, it has developed a special version of its advanced performance Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyre. Innovations include a tread featuring different compounds on the outside and inside for exceptional grip. These compounds work perfectly with the

Öhlins dampers to deliver a ride similar to that of a real competition car. Two further qualities can also be added: endurance, in lapping and with respect to the service life of the casing, and versatility, for safe driving in all weather conditions. The versatile Renault Sport 2.0T engine has been further optimised to deliver maximum power of 275hp. To achieve this, the experts at Renault Sport fine-tuned the engine characteristics. Engineers sought to increase torque at peak power of 5,500rpm by working on the electronic control parameters. By raising torque to 349Nm (+10Nm), they boosted engine power to 275hp (201kW). Available between 3,000 and 5,000rpm, maximum torque of 360Nm remains unchanged.

Skoda the new Fabia

SKODA has unveiled the design sketch for its new Fabia. The first design sketch shows a young, crisp, urban small car with typical character. This is the first time in a series production vehicle that Skoda designers have incorporated elements from the Skoda VisionC show car. Skoda motorsport has also provided inspiration for the final design. These two foundations combined give the new Fabia more dynamics, passion and emotion. This sharp, new image fuses crystalline shapes and sharp lines with the highest precision. The hatchback model is characterised by wellbalanced, tight proportions. In addition, the Fabia now offers a completely new, versatile interior.

Mini Hatch is UK Car of the Year THE new MINI Hatch has been named Auto Express magazine’s Car of the Year 2014 at its annual New Car Awards. Chris Brownridge, Director, MINI UK, collected the prestigious award at a lavish ceremony held in London’s Grand Connaught Rooms. The prize was presented by the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Steve Fowler. The new MINI Hatch rose above the crowd and saw off some incredibly strong opposition to take the top prize. Explaining the reasons for MINI’s win, Steve Fowler said: “The MINI Hatch is the perfect Car of the Year for 2014 - it’s a small car that’s big on talent. We love the way it drives, the quality, the efficiency and the big car tech on board. It’s also built in Britain - a car the UK can be proud of.” Brownridge added: “The new MINI Hatch has received universal acclaim since we launched it earlier this year. A great deal of work has gone in

BIG ON TALENT: MINI Hatch. ‘Auto Express’ magazine’s Car of the Year 2014.

to refining performance, handling, style and quality with this all-new model and this recognition from Auto Express is testament to that effort.” Thanking the Auto Express panel for choosing the new MINI Hatch, Brownridge continued: “This award is a real boost to all 6,000 MINI associates across Plant Hams Hall, Swindon and, of course, Oxford, all of whom should be extremely proud of this achievement. They have

created a car which in just a few months has captured the imagination of customers and the motor industry alike.” Since its UK market launch in March, the new MINI Hatch has been a runaway success winning both critical acclaim and new customers. As of July 2014, MINI UK has the strongest forward order bank for Hatch since the brand was relaunched in 2001. Built in Britain at MINI Plant Oxford, the new MINI Hatch has

benefited from a £750 million (€948 million) investment across three of BMW Group’s UK manufacturing facilities. Substantial upgrades to Plant Oxford and to Plant Swindon, where most of the MINI’s body pressings and subassemblies are manufactured, reaffirm the UK’s position as the global manufacturing home of MINI. The Hams Hall engine plant in Birmingham is also being re-equipped. The MINI Hatch is packed

with new features and technology. It is more spacious, finished to an even higher standard and provides the driver with a more dynamic and performanceoriented experience. New firstfor-class features like LED head-lamps and Emergency Calling (E-Call), as well as a suite of advanced three and four-cylinder engines, will ensure the Hatch stays well ahead of the pack for years to come.

McIlroy is 2014 Open winner GOLF - The winner of the 2014 Open Championship (at Hoylake, Royal Liverpool) was Rory McIlroy (17 under) who collected £975,000 (€1.23 million) for his efforts. He won by two strokes from Rickie Fowler (USA) and Sergio Garcia (Spain) who finished joint second. ‘Super Mac’ was excellent, scoring a 66, 66, 68 and 71. Round three saw him lose a fourshot lead, even drop two behind Fowler before ending the day six ahead. He never looked back after that. This was the Irish golfer’s third Major triumph - he’s now chasing a world record - that of winning all four Majors at the age of 25. He had already equalled the feats of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods by winning three at this age. It’s Augusta next. * Just to let you know the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles takes place from September 23-28. * ‘Mr Golf’ Bob Torrance (Sam’s dad) died last week, aged 83.
