AIR SUPPORT: Planes can carry water to the heart of the blaze.

Malaga mountains fire extinguished

THREE air support craft and more than 80 ground personnel were needed to put out a fire blazing through the Anayas region of the Montes de Malaga at the beginning of the week. One plane, which could be reloaded on land, and two helicopters, one of which could take water from a lake and the other which could transport personnel as well as water, worked throughout the night, assisted by around 80 people and equipment on the ground.

For nearly five hours the blaze was considered at level one (the highest) but it was finally brought under control at midday last Tuesday. Around 17 people had to be evacuated for their safety, seven from a rural hotel and another 10 from outlying rural residences. No civilians were injured or suffered from smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is not yet known but there are suspicions it could have had something to do with a nearby firing range.

Miracle boy in Malaga A THREE-YEAR-OLD boy who fell from the third floor balcony of his block in Malaga is completely unhurt. The toddler had gone out onto the balcony to watch as his mother picked up a toy he had dropped onto the interior patio of the block. Neither the police nor the ambulance crew could believe

that the boy was unharmed after falling such a great distance - all that was wrong with him was a bit of a bruise on his left arm. The boy was taken to the hospital where he remained overnight for observation and was released in the morning after the doctors could find nothing wrong with him. Neighbours have described

how the child was watching his mother get his favourite toy, from the downstairs neighbour’s patio where he often threw his toys, when he suddenly lost his balance and just simply dropped off the balcony and landed around 12 metres below. The neighbourhood is now referring to the incident as a miracle.

COLOUR AND SPECTACLE: Malaga Fair.

Flocking to the fair T

HE August fair - perhaps better known as Malaga Fair - is here again, and it is one of the biggest in Spain. This fantastic street party has its origins in 1487, when the city was incorporated into the Corona de Castilla (Castilla kingdom) by the Catholic Kings. The kings gave the city the Virgen de la Victoria (Victory Virgin) and the council agreed to always commemorate the event by celebrating a ‘fiesta’ every year on the day of Asuncion. Originally the celebration was only one day long and the whole town would join in a procession in honour of the Virgen de la Victoria. In just a few years it had grown to incorporate a small bullfight (only four bulls) and a few ‘casetas’ (pop-up bars). In the 17th century fireworks were incorporated into the celebrations and then came more casetas and by 1887 it resembled what it is today, a

Walking only AS soon as the fair is finished (after August 23) the works will begin to make all the streets around the cathedral pedestrian only. The project will take about seven months.

2,100 calls THE Malaga Woman’s Phone Line (900 200 999) has received more than 2,100 calls in the last six months which is 17 per cent more than the same period in 2013, almost all the calls are to report gender violence. STREET PARTY: A nine-day-long event. nine-day-long celebration of everything from the local gastronomy to the expositions of the flower arrangements in the old part of the town. One of the peculiarities of the modern Malaga Fair is that it is celebrated in two different locations: the daytime fair takes place in the centre of the town and at night it moves to the ‘recinto ferial’ (purposebuilt fairground) on the outskirts of the city.

Second runway opens From Front Page it is the first time that it will be open so frequently as, this year, there are more flights than in 2013. Just this Monday there were 365 flights, which means 365 landings and 365 take-offs. Sources within the airport have commented that the opening of the second runway brings with it all sorts of other logistical problems. These include bringing in extra air traffic controllers, baggage handlers, technical staff and other essential personnel needed to deal with the extra volume of passengers. With the second runway open, Malaga Airport can handle 72 flights every hour. With just one it can handle 37. This greater capacity increases its offer and allows around 9,500 passengers to arrive every hour.

Man groomed 12-year-olds THE Guardia Civil in Malaga have detained a man on suspicion of pretending to be a modelling agency scout and using this position to take pictures of a 12-year-old girl. The suspect was arrested when he went to meet the girl in order to take her to his studio. The man would introduce himself as the owner and chief talent scout of a modelling

agency and use this to persuade the young girls that he could launch their careers but there was just one catch: they would have to model naked. The victim, a 12-yearold, told her mother about the matter and, when the mother had found out a little more about the matter, she went straight to the police to denounce the case. The man was arrested

almost immediately when he went to meet his victim. The detainee first contacted the victim through the social networks and, allegedly, passed himself off as Miguel Beltran, a real and very well-known person, who runs a modelling agency in Malaga out of which came, among others, Miss Spain, Elisabeth Reyes, and Mister World, Juan Garcia - both from Malaga.

A MAN has been detained in Malaga for allegedly earning €14,000 from an internet fraud. Another three people are being questioned in connection with the offence. The suspect is alleged to have used his former girlfriend’s bank and credit card details to buy anything from mobile phones to trips abroad. The detainee took advantage of

his relationship with the victim in order to gain access to her bank and credit card details, which he would then use fraudulently. The 30-year-old man was arrested in Malaga on charges of fraud after the victim lodged a complaint with the National Police. She had noticed charges on her credit cards and current account which amounted to €14,000 and of which she had no knowledge.

Luggage thieves caught at airport THE Guardia Civil have arrested two people on suspicion of stealing suitcases from distracted airport passengers.

advantage of distracted tourists arriving at the baggage carousels to steal their luggage.

Miguel Moreno, head of Yup!Charge Malaga, has chosen Malaga Fair to launch the new product and, at the same time, provide a service for those fairgoers who have forgotten to charge their mobiles before leaving home.

A WOMAN who glassed another woman after an argument in a bar has been sentenced to six years in prison. She disfigured her victim’s face in what the courts have called a “violent and malicious attack.” As well as completing her prison sentence, the aggressor will also have to pay to her victim a compensatory fine of €18,400. The events took place at a bar in the Trinidad area of Malaga City last year. The victim was sitting with a male friend on the terrace of a bar. When he went to use the bathroom, the aggressor went over to the victim and tried to persuade her to leave her friend behind and go with her. The two got into an argument and the young victim then asked the aggressor to leave her alone. Bar staff warned the victim that the woman was extremely aggressive and dangerous and so, when her friend came back from the bathroom, they both decided to leave the bar. The courts consider it proven that the aggressor followed her victim into the street where she

began to hit her with a bottle, which she had already broken in preparation for the attack. She continued her violent assault, even when the victim fell to the floor, until the victim’s friend was able to pull her off and throw her to the floor. When the Local Police arrived they found the victim on the floor cradling her head in her hands and bleeding profusely from all over her face. Officers were also able to observe that the aggressor had cuts on her hands. Considering this sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest,

they took her into custody as the likely culprit. The consequences of the attack for the victim have been a series of wounds, which took more than 25 days to heal and have left visible scars all over her face. When sentencing the defendant, the courts took into account the fact that it was not the first time that the aggressor had been brought up on the same charges - on the last occasion, she was jailed for two-and-a-half years - and the fact that the victim would, in all probability, be scarred for life.

No butts on Costa beaches campaign UNSIGHTLY: Cigarette butts on the beach.

THE towns which make up the association of municipalities of the western Costa del Sol (from Manilva to Mijas) have launched a campaign to keep cigarette butts off the beaches. Between the eight towns which form the association they will hand

out more than 12,000 special beach ashtrays. Cigarette butts are one of the last items of rubbish that beach-goers are still leaving behind despite all the councils’ previous campaigns to try to get people to clear up after themselves when on the beach.

Carmen Marquez, environmental delegate for the association, has commented that cigarette butts are not made of biodegradable material and, therefore, would release toxic chemicals if left in the sand for a long time. They can take anywhere between 18 months and 10 years to decompose. Marquez then went on to underline the fact that cigarette butts contain many harmful chemicals which could dissolve in water, like lead and cadmium, and these would be released into the sea if nothing were to be done to remedy the situation. The delegate spoke about the need to keep the beaches in pristine condition as the area is a tourist attraction and dirty beaches would not be conducive to enticing RUBBISH CHARGES: Older residents may be exempt. visitors.

Kid from the Bronx is back in town Known as one of the most flamboyant on-stage stars, with a unique style all of his own, Kid Creole has been entertaining fans for decades. Back in Marbella by popular demand, the Euro Weekly News caught up with him for a chat… You have come a long way from your roots. How has your upbringing in the Bronx influenced your unique music style? Yes, I was born in the Bronx. Thank the gods. I can think of no other place on earth where I would rather have been born. The most important gifts bestowed on me by the Bronx: one must have a sense of humour to survive and one must never wear blinders in the journey called LIFE. The Bronx was a true melting pot. It actually crafted me, at an early age, into a citizen of the world. You performed in Marbella in 2011. What was it about Marbella that persuaded you to come back? I have performed in Marbella many times in my career. I return there continuously because Marbella guarantees me a good time. I love the hedonistic audiences; I love the warm weather; I love the Spanish food;

FLAMBOYANT: Kid Creole & the Coconuts. I love the love. Tell us about your new band line-up. The new band is not so new: Dave Imby (from Belgium) on the drums Jamie McCredie (from London) on guitar Oroh Angiama (from Hollywood) on bass Jim Watson (from London) on keys (he is our newest addition) Barnaby Dickinson (from

Miami) on trombone Chris Storr (from New York City) on trumpet Edgar Jones (from Rome) on saxophone Eva Tudor-Jones (longest standing Coconut in the history of the band - 17 years!!!!). She’s from Hawaii. Jessica Forsman (Coconut for five years). She’s from Finland. Roos Van Roosum (Coconut for one year). She’s from Holland.

Malene Mortensen (background vocals and soloist). She’s our latest chanteuse. Flex Flex (background vocals and master of ceremonies). New boy on the block. I am extremely proud of this band. I never take anything for granted, you see. I realise that having a band this magnificent after being in the business for 100 years is no mean feat! It takes a whole lot of hard work and a whole lot of luck. I was born under a lucky star. Thank the gods. What can we expect in the future from Kid Creole and the Coconuts? The future for KCC? Retirement. I’ll be passing the magic baton on to my sons (Dario, Ashalay and August Junior) next year. And I will be living with my wife in Maui, writing my memoirs, swimming and surfing, climbing mountains and conversing with the sun god on a daily basis.

Thanks to the WORLDWIDE WEB the music of KCC will live on and on... forever and a day. Big Time Love, August Darnell

Harvey was the script writer for Dave, who was a stand-up comic. Kevin was Dave’s manager. As the play progresses it becomes clear that Dave was not the great man everyone had thought. He had slept with all the women around him and then Kay turns up (an uninvited guest) and drops another bomb shell. It’s all worse than they thought! The characters are as follows: Laura Thursby, 40’s. Widow. Attractive, vain about her appearance. Harvey Barrett, 50’s. Untidy, angry man. His only concession to the day is a crumpled black tie. Vi Barrett, Harvey’s wife. Older than Laura. She has a wry attitude to the events being played out in front of her. Kevin Prewitt, 30’s. Pale man in a dark suit and dark glasses. Much moved. Jane Prewitt, Kevin’s wife. 30’s. Gawky, inclined to be flustered. Kay, 50’s. A smoker with a sardonic manner. N.B. The above ages described above are not set in stone and all things can be altered.

SPIKED DRINK: Swiss tourist didn’t notice.

Swiss man robbed LOCAL POLICE in Malaga have arrested two employees at a city brothel on suspicion of taking €3,600 from a client after spiking his drinks. The victim, a 64-year-old Swiss man, has claimed that he was plied with alcohol or narcotics which left him confused and oblivious to the fact that large amounts of money were being taken from his credit cards. Once he discovered the unusual activity in his bank account, the victim went to a police station to report the incident. The police took the club owner and one of his employees, who authorised the transactions, into custody, where they were later charged with fraud. A total of €3,647 was taken from two credit cards belonging

to the Swiss citizen. This is not the first case of this kind to have been reported recently. Last month, the managers of two brothels and a café in Valencia were accused of defrauding €95,000 from clients using the same methods of drink spiking. The majority of those affected by this type of crime are tourists who do not generally notice that the money has been taken until they have returned to their home countries, making the police’s job of registering and tracking the offences all the more difficult. The authorities are currently attempting to identify more victims in an effort to clamp down on drink spiking during these popular tourist months.

Director of Nerja History Museum found dead THE director Museum was throat cut in Maria Marquez

of the Nerja History found dead with her Torrox on Friday. Ana Alcantara was 37.

Although the exact circumstances of her death remain unclear, allegations have been made that she may have been killed by her partner, who was later

arrested by Guardia Civil officers. Neighbours are said to have heard yelling and a quarrel between a man and a woman at 10.50am.

20 vehicles burn in scrapyard blaze TWENTY vehicles were burnt to a cinder in a Malaga scrapyard fire on Monday afternoon in the Intelhorce area of the city. It took nearly three hours to put out the blaze. After the fire which swept through the mountains over the weekend, this new blaze set off all the alarms in the area but the dense smoke was mainly due to the amount of rubber burning. The flames were rapidly brought under control by two fire trucks and 15 fire officers who established a safe perimeter in order to make sure the fire did not spread to the neighbouring yards.

FIRE-FIGHTING: Nearly three hours to put out the fire.

Should it be determined that she was killed by her partner, she would be the second woman to fall victim to domestic violence in the province in less than one week. A 24-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend last week in Ciudad Jardin, Malaga. The suspect was later arrested in Puerto de la Torre. The untimely death of Ana Maria Marquez has sent a wave of outrage across Andalucia. The Junta de Andalucia regional government strongly condemned her death in what may turn out to be a new case of domestic violence. As many as 33 women have died as victims of domestic violence in Spain so far this year. Abused women are not alone, said the Junta’s Department for Equality, Health and Social Policies in a communiquÊ issued after the tragic news was released. They encourage victims of domestic violence to dial the toll free number 900 200 999 for help and confidential advice.

Needy hit in loan scam FOUR people have been detained in Malaga in connection with a loan fraud involving around €5,000. Those responsible would choose their victims from among the needy and persuade them to obtain small loans – of no more than €600 – which they could easily pay back. The detainees are three men and one woman, all between the ages of 34 and 60. Among them are a couple considered to have masterminded the whole operation. The other two are considered to be their minions. The modus operandi was the same in all cases. They would contact people in need and offer them the possibility of obtaining a loan of no more than €600. Once they had gained the trust of their victims, they would get them to open a new bank account in which to receive the loan and then ask them to

share their bank details, including any credit cards associated with the account. The con artists would then give their victims a small amount of cash, to gain further favour, and set about asking for more micro credits from different companies through these accounts without the knowledge, or permission, of the account holders. As soon as these new credits were deposited in the account they would remove them and use the cash for their own personal gain. Investigations started back in May when one of the victims went to the police to make a complaint and to ask that the matter be looked into by the authorities. Police officers calculate that the gang have earned at least €5,000 through the scam.

ALMOST DROWNED: Police officer saved the man’s life.

Local police officer saves a life A LOCAL POLICE officer has saved the life of a man who nearly drowned in the waters off the El Palo beach. The man, 77, was already on the shore being attended to by a life guard but had lost consciousness and was not responding to stimuli. The police officer immediately began CPR and assisted breathing and eventually managed to get the half-drowned man to expel the water he had swallowed.

The incident took place at around 11.30am and came in as an urgent request to the emergency lines. As the Local Police had an officer in the area they responded, as well as the ambulance. The police officers arrived first on the scene and, with the help of the life guard, managed to perform CPR as they had been trained to. Moments later the ambulance service arrived and the drowning

victim was handed over to them. The 77-year-old is said to be doing well and recovering from his traumatic experience. A Local Police spokesperson pointed out that this is not the first time a Malaga officer has saved someone’s life. In 2013 an officer was instrumental in the saving of a couple who had been dragged out to sea by the strong currents.

The Euro Weekly News asked the Smile High crew how often they would hear mayday calls, Taylor said: “I’ve been working here eight years and I’ve probably heard two or three before but never anything like that, never anything as close.” No emergency services were in attendance throughout the rescue, but they did report finding the yacht - empty of all occupants - later that night.

Operation Shovel trial suffers serious setback OPERATION Shovel, which concerned itself with the criminal activities of the Irish Kinahan clan (mafia style family), has suffered a serious setback in the courts. The Estepona court trying the case has decided to remove the charges of weapons dealing and drug trafficking levelled against the alleged leader of the gang, Christopher Kinahan. These charges have been dropped due to a lack of evidence and

witnesses willing to testify. The charges of money laundering and criminal association still stand. This decision has weakened the case considerably and the National Police and the Interior Ministry have expressed their dismay that such a strong case, which originally had more than 30 detainees spread over three countries, should have all but collapsed. The case dates back to 2010 when Christopher Kinahan and his two

sons, Daniel and Chris, were arrested on suspicion of, among other things, drug and weapons dealing and money laundering. At the time more than 200 businesses were investigated and a money trail leading to Brazil and other South American countries from the Costa del Sol was discovered. Moe than 60 properties were embargoed as well as bank accounts, and financial packages were confiscated. The three principal suspects were all jailed and only got out

ORIGIN: The drugs came from Bordeaux in France.

Co-operation eliminates the French connection NATIONAL POLICE in Estepona, in collaboration with the French anti-drugs squad, have arrested a person on suspicion of belonging to an international drug trafficking organisation. Another two members of the same organisation were arrested in Benesse Maresme (France) when they were trying to transport the drugs via the ‘go fast’ method, which consists of using very powerful vehicles which can outrun police vehicles if necessary. During the raid police confiscated 469 kilos of hashish and €10,170 in cash. Investigations into the matter began in January when the Estepona police became aware of several individuals on an urbanisation in the area whom they

suspected of being involved in criminal activities. Further investigations revealed that the two men, one from France and the other from Algeria, were living an expensive lifestyle with no visible means of income. Through international collaboration, they then found out that the same two individuals were being investigated in France as ‘go fast’ couriers. As soon as both police forces had identified when the next shipment of drugs was to go out, they detained the three men before any drugs could leave either country. The person arrested in Spain stands accused of drug trafficking, falsifying public documents, using a false identity and illegal entry into the country.

on a bail of €60,000. Now, it would seem, the charges were not well supported and could not be held up in court. Sources close to the investigation have confirmed that this new development has critically weakened the case but that the charges which remain are well supported and have little to no possibility of being thrown out or modified in any way.

HAVING your electricity supply cut off in Spain is at best a pain, and at worst a complete nightmare. It normally takes visits to the bank, the post office and the energy company to prove you have paid and to organise a new supply, and once that is done the charges for reconnection are exorbitant. But last week, short-term loan company Hola Credito was able to help one client avoid being cut off, and the cost of the loan worked out at less than 50 per cent of the reconnection fee. “We had been struggling to pay an outstanding electricity bill, when we saw an advertisement for Hola Credito,” said the client. “We needed to borrow €500 to avoid being cut off, and Hola Credito quickly agreed to use my Rolex Oyster watch as security for a six-month loan. It was a big relief as the effort and costs involved in a reconnection are huge.”

Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) keeps its cost down by doing the majority of its work online and calculates interest on loans on a daily basis. This means only paying interest on the exact number of days the loan is taken, and no hidden costs or penalties. “We were amazed when we paid off our loan early and there was no penalty,” the client commented. “In fact, Hola Credito’s short-term loan cost us less than the electricity reconnection fee would have done!” Hola Credito accepts a range of luxury assets including watches, jewellery, cars and boats. Loans can be from 14 days to six months, and usually Hola Credito can provide loans at 5 per cent per month. Once the loan is agreed and the assets are received, funds are transferred immediately to the client’s bank, or cash can be collected from Hola Credito’s Puerta Banus-based offices.

SUNSCREEN LOTION: Protects humans but harms the marine life.

Sunscreens could damage marine life

SUN protection creams could be damaging to marine life near the coasts. On contact with the water the sunscreens release toxic components and this then contaminates the marine life in the area, principally marine micro-algae. A Spanish survey by the

CISC (Centre for Scientific Investigations) has revealed that beach-goers could be ruining the beaches they love just by applying sunscreen; what is protecting them is contaminating the waters with chemicals which are difficult to get rid of. The Marine Institute of Andalucia (a regional

branch of the CISC) has explained that although individuals do not release very much of the toxic substance from sunscreen into the water, the vast amount of people on the beaches using it makes all the difference and, together, it is like pouring a litre per kilometre into the sea every day.

Host for the evening, Antonio Banderas, is well known for his charitable work in highlighting the needs of the disadvantaged and impoverished. As well as being an International Ambassador for UNICEF, he is passionate about giving support to his fellow Spaniards and collaborates with philanthropic foundations, academic and research institutions and civic organisations to raise awareness and support for those most in need globally. Far from following many other ‘super stars’ down the road of being selfabsorbed and pretentious, Banderas is instead the embodiment of humility, sincerity and passion.

A PROCESSION of specially laid-on cars ferried celebrities, socialites and dignitaries to the Starlight Festival Gala V at the Marbella Quarry. One could be forgiven for thinking that the Starlight Festival was just another chic entertainment venue for high society to mix with A-list performers from all over the world. However, that would be a gross presumption as there is so much more to the concept. What this extraordinary music festival actually does behind the scenes when the hype and buzz have died down, is really the main event. This year’s Starlight Festival Gala V drew the attendance of more than 40 high-profile celebrities and established itself as one of Europe’s most important and significant social and cultural events. Those receiving awards included Agatha Ruiz de La Prada, La Gala Cruz Roja de Zurich, Enrique Ponce, Paco Arango, Sergio Scariollo, Pablo Ibañez (El Hombre de Negro) and Baroness

Marbella ‘grooved that night’ AL MCKAY’S ‘Earth, Wind & Fire Experience’ took to the stage at the 2,500 seat Puente Romano tennis court just after 10pm on a sweltering Marbella August night. Within the first five bars of ‘In The Stone’ the audience knew this incarnation of Earth, Wind & Fire was no mere tribute band with loose associations to the original. The 13-strong, beautifully coordinated troupe instead blew the audience away with a spectacular reminder of the raw power Chicago legend Al McKay has shown throughout his nearly 50 years of performing R&B. As the chords became more familiar the audience felt a need to vacate their seats and shake their collective ‘thangs’. Boogie Wonderland, Let’s Groove, September, Getaway, and Magic Mind all resonated with an audience that were for the most part reliving the heyday of the tunes and possibly their youth. Five-time Grammy Award

VINTAGE: La Vinya del Vuit

THIS MONTH’S NEW LABELS La Vinya del Vuit - ‘The Vineyard of Eight’ Since the birth of this wine back in 2001, the identity of this product is being renewed on an annual basis to build a particular and diverse collection, apparently contradictory, that depicts the themes the owners care about and keeps a logic as a whole. Only 2,500 bottles are being produced every vintage. The main goal is to set this product as a singular one and to attract a high degree of attention. Despite it being a very old vineyard and the vinification methods artisanal, the people behind it are young and brave. La Vinya del Viut is created by eight friends: Sara Perez, Rene Barbier, Ester Nin, Julian Baste, Philippe Thevenon, Nuria Perez, Iban Foix and Montse Mateos. SMART BUYS Sierra Cantabria Colección Privada ‘The New Classic of Rioja’ This exceptional wine is included in a special collection produced by the Eguren family at their newly constructed winery, Viñedos Sierra Cantabria, to reflect new classics.

It is made from 100 per cent wellripened Tempranillo grapes, grown on 10 hectares located near the Ebro River, Los Terreros and Jarate, in the district of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Organically fertilised, the vines are over 50 years old and planted in loamy or sandy-loam soils which provide good drainage. Careful hand-picking at harvest and a further selection at the winery ensure that the fruit is in a perfect state of health and ripeness – seemingly essential criteria for all wines associated with the famous Eguren name. Traditional de-stemming is followed by maceration on skins for 21 days with daily pumping-over and then malolactic fermentation in barrels. Colecció Privada is aged for 18 months in new oak barrels (50 per cent French and 50 per cent American). CELLAR SELECTION Hacienda Monasterio Reserva 2009 Here’s a red that shows that modernity is not incompatible with longevity. A reserve and autere red, complex, fruity and long living. Valbuena 2009 Produced in years when Único does not appear, this exceptional Reserva wine from Vega Sicilia is made predominantly from Tinto Fino grapes (around 90 per cent) with the addition of Merlot and Malbec.

Doctors criticise arrival of Ebola-infected priest SPANISH doctors have criticised the transportation to Spain of a priest who was infected with the Ebola virus. They claim that it was a political, not a health, decision. President of the doctors’ association of Madrid, Daniel Bernabeu, has commented that the repatriation of the infected priest was an enormous risk for the country and that the hospital where he was treated, the Carlos III in Madrid, was being prepared too quickly, too urgently and with not enough consideration. Miguel Pajares was working with victims of the Ebola virus in Liberia

when he became infected himself and, although the director general of public health, Maria Mercedes Vinuesa, has stated that there is no risk to the Spanish people, doctors are worried that the virus could spread as a result of bringing a victim onto Spanish soil. Bernabeu’s concerns are also shared by the nursing association which has voiced its concerns to the director general of health who then replied that the US was also bringing infected people onto their soil and they had had no problems. Miguel Pajares has since died from the virus.

By the 1960’s the factory was making English-style plimsolls, enjoying a 20-year boom before entering a 20year decline and finally closing as trainers took over.

THE old rhyming slang phrase ‘I should coco!’ is not exactly what Brussels says at present. Far from implying ‘We should say so!’ the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA) recently reminded EU banks and insurance companies of the consumer protection requirements for certain financial instruments. Specific attention was drawn to the risks associated with CoCos - contingent convertible bonds - which convert into equity if a key trigger, usually a bank’s core capital ratio, breaches a predefined floor. Some financial institutions engage in ‘self-placement’ by selling financial instruments that they or their group companies have issued and which require ‘specific prudential requirements,’ the Joint Committee said. This occurred in Spain when

PROTEST: Shareholders in Bankia protesting about their losses. preference shares to the tune of €12 billion were sold to the uninformed in 2009 alone just as bust took over from boom and the bubble burst.

More than sun, sea and sun in Spain ALTHOUGH most tourists head for Spain’s beaches, many are drawn by its sporting reputation. The Spanish themselves made 2.27 million journeys linked to sport last year, according to a report from the Institute of Tourism Studies (IET). These accounted for 2.6 per cent of all journeys inside the country, producing €523 million in turnover for the transport sector. International tourists increased the figure still further, with 9,039,000 journeys, IET revealed. Spain’s climate and sports infrastructure play a principal part in its ability to attract fans at home and abroad, the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism said. Additional factors attract tourists keen to view or participate in sport,

tourism experts said, and Spain’s sporting prestige is a principal lure. Adventure sport is in growing demand and the €62 billion it generated in 2009 rose to €197 billion by last year, according to Hosteltur. The sector has registered annual growth of 65 per cent, the online tourism group said. Air-based sports predominate, with hot-air ballooning, parachuting and piloting light aircraft the most popular, said adventure sports specialists Yumping. But football still draws more sports tourists than any other activity, not only to watch but also to learn how to play it the Spanish way. Youngsters converge on the country each summer from Italy, France, the US, Mexico and China for coaching throughout Spain.

The banks explain that interest shares unredeemable and sometimes

forbore to these highwere virtually for decades a century.

Around 400,000 preference shareholders in rescued Banks like Bankia, NCG Banco and Catalunya Banc suffered huge losses.

Preference shares have been substituted by CoCos, now described as the banks’ favourite toy, although the Joint Committee stressed that they could infringe some of the rules governing financial institutions. This could result in “significant consumer detriment,” they warned. “It is unclear as to whether consumers fully understand the potential risks and are capable of correctly factoring these into their decisions,” the Joint Committee pointed out. BBVA, Santander and Banco Popular have now sold €5.6 billion of CoCos with three issues in euros by BBVA, Santander and Popular, and two in dollars by BBVA and Santander. These emissions, the banks have stressed, were aimed exclusively at “qualified investors” making minimum outlays of €100,000 and adhered meticulously to government guidelines.

Hope your shop window is looking perfect? WHEN I retired to Spain in 2008 there was a need to make myself useful. Eureka! Idly browsing the business community’s websites I thought I had found the perfect niche. After initial enthusiasm business owners tend to lose interest in their company’s website. As a consequence their business loses credibility and this has an impact on profitability. Poor spelling and appalling punctuation spoil about 50 per cent of business websites. Potential customers are put off by such sloppiness. Setting my reasonably priced stall out I expected a flood of enquiries followed by orders. Such was my misplaced optimism. There were a few scraps to be had but the volume fell far short of what might reasonably be expected. I was met by an inertia that I likened to the zoo’s reptile house;

As an experiment in customer response he deliberately misspelled a single word on his product’s home page. Enquiries dropped by 50 per cent. Why? Because that single misspelling suggested company sloppiness or caused potential clients to be distrustful. A misspelling is also a sign a company’s website has been hacked.

How to attend a wedding cheaply ANOTHER wedding invitation drops in the letterbox. You’re already struggling to make ends meet, so what do you do? If it is not a close friend or family member it is perfectly acceptable to say “thanks, but no thanks,” but if you really do want to go to the event there are ways to do it on a budget. The biggest tip for guests saving money is to remember that it’s not YOUR big day. So you don’t need to get a swanky new dress, have your hair done in a salon or your make-up applied by a professional. As a guest, you’re not the centre of attention. Chances are that you already own a

dress that is perfectly acceptable to be worn to another wedding. Just change your hairstyle and accessories and nobody will be any the wiser that it’s an old frock. As for pre-parties, hen nights or rehearsal dinners perhaps - just be honest with yourself and the bride and groom about what events you can afford to attend. Just because the bride is having a

Can our entrance road be cut? Q. When we purchased our campo property in the year 2000, we were You and the advised that the short section of track for Law in Spain access to the property was no problem, By David Searl Although we do not own it, we have used it for the last 14 years. Now we have put the property up for sale and various viewers have asked to see written permission to use this track, which we do not have. We have been told that if the access/exit has been used for five years or more it cannot be closed off. How does the law stand? We do not want to lose the chance of selling the property over a dirt track only 27 metres long. M.R. (e-mail) A. Please forgive me for pointing out that 14 years ago you should have done exactly what your potential buyers are now doing, which is to establish a legal access. First, Spain’s land law says that after 10 years of usage with no comment or protest, you have established a servidumbre de paso, a right to passage. Now you can go to a lawyer and have this written up in proper legal form. But let’s suppose you wake up tomorrow and the owner of the land is cutting a deep ditch across the track, which makes it impossible to pass. You will have to go to court to prove your right of access, with witnesses and documents and expense. You will win but it will cost. Try to come to an agreement with the owner.

If the wedding reception is out of your home town, then remember that it’s not necessary to book in at the venue where the wedding is taking place. The couple may have selected a pricey location but if this is out of your budget then just say so and check out low-cost hotels and B&B’s in the area. After all the eating, drinking and dancing is done it’s really not going to make a difference if you are staying in the bride and groom’s hotel or somewhere cheaper down the road.

gifts - there’s a common misconception that your gift is supposed to equal the price of your dinner. This just isn’t true. A wedding gift is a token of affection and good

wishes, not an entrance ticket. Spend what you can afford. If you feel like you really don’t have a lot of money to spend, giving a gift, as opposed to cash, is a better way to go. Giving €50 in an envelope may make you feel cheap, but giving a beautiful wicker picnic basket with a nice bottle of wine inside won’t!

Unemployment falls but precariously THE timid improvement in Spain’s unemployment figures continued last month. Another 62,108 people joined the Social Security system which now has 16.74 million contributors. Inem, the state labour exchange, crossed a further 29,841 names off their books and the 4.41 million people without jobs are 5.9 per cent fewer than a year ago. This is the lowest since Mariano Rajoy took over as president of the Spanish government in November 2011. According to Social Security statistics, recuperation began at the beginning of this year although the regular survey of the working population (EPA) places this in the second quarter of 2014. Although more people are in work, the government’s critics point out that 38.2 per cent of new contracts are for part-time jobs, the highest proportion yet. The latest Social Security figures confirm that the trend has now

become a norm with open-ended contracts falling by 49.1 per cent in July. Few jobs were permanent and 93.1 per cent of new jobs were temporary although this is inevitable when seasonal summer jobs are involved. The type of work available was also dictated by the time of the year, as practically all were in the hotel and catering trade, the retail sector and health industry - three areas with increased seasonal demand and the need to cover health professionals’ holidays. The CEOE, Spain’s Federation of Industry, greeted the figures with caution and called for more labour reforms in order to create more jobs. The two principal trade unions CCOO and UGT described the improvement in unemployment as insufficient. Too many new jobs are precarious, they said, and the better figures camouflaged the 2.6 million long-term unemployed who no longer receive state benefits.

OPINION & COMMENT

Live in Spain, but don’t forget to vote at home LIKE many readers I was somewhat confused regarding my rights to vote in UK elections. I was also put off by the government’s website indicating that although I could vote, there was only a four-day turnaround for postal votes. The latter is untrue. If you have been on the voting register in the last 15 years then you are eligible to re-register with your last council, using your current Spanish address. I achieved this partly online and partly by post, requesting an application form online. I felt that letting them post it to me proved they did in fact have my correct address. They explained that they were obliged to post voting forms no earlier than 12 days before an election and no later than four although it is their practice to send them out nine days before. I would suggest you do as I did and go straight to your last council’s website if you want a sensible reply. I hope that this is a help to those wishing to take part in the 2017 ‘get-out-of-Europe’ elections which are especially important to expats. David Lees, Los Alcazares (Murcia)

Bargain labels I AM writing in response to the very badly written and observed ‘Looky Looky’ article Louise Elliot totally misses the point about why people buy goods from these people. It’s because they want to own a Versace bag, Prada sunglasses or a Rolex watch and walk around wearing a Gant or Fred Perry polo shirt. They are fully aware they are fake but want the label. Instead of spending €40 or €50 on a fake Rolex there is no way someone like this would go to a local jeweller and spend four times that on a cheap High Street brand. Where else will they get a perfect designer polo shirt for

The Abbasid caliphate was arguably the most dazzling regime of its time. The Arabs had medical schools and pharmaceutical laboratories in AD750 well before King Alfred was born.

I READ your article about the Silent Epidemic which is supposedly ‘sweeping across the coast.’ I appreciate the fundraising events organised by Jackie Lawson but I believe she is launching the wrong campaign for the wrong reasons. Spain’s economy is not based on the tourist euro and is certainly not dependent on the euros earned by foreign bar and restaurant owners. Clampdowns take place because bar and restaurant owners do not follow the rules and entertainers losing work are mainly from the United Kingdom. I am a Dutch citizen but have been a resident in Orihuela Costa for more than 10 years. Many restaurants do a nice job, however the bars are a different story. The majority are owned and managed by non-Spanish people and some are hell for permanent residents. Some nights, we can’t hear the television. On other nights we can’t have a proper conversation on our own terrace. Why do I have to accept that abuse? Jackie Lawson should know better: there are more residents than holidaymakers in the area, who have money to spend the whole year round. I suggest she builds a good relationship with them, instead of championing the rights of holidaymakers. B Vanderwilk, Orihuela Costa (Alicante)

Politicians on their own planet LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

HERE’S nothing more unsettling, or indeed frightening, than realising our esteemed political and supposedly educated world leaders are in a fact a bunch of out-oftouch, utterly naïve, cretins. You can only judge others by your own yardsticks and such is the illusion created by these dangerous, dithering public schoolboys, most of us are led to truly believe that we are somehow inferior to them and their allegedly superior intellects. Well, we’re not! Thirty years ago this ole boy, an ex-pop singer from a post-war background and secondary school education, wrote about the threat of Islamist extremism and suggested that if action was not taken earlier rather than later it would be too late because they would have become entrenched in societies everywhere. Why couldn’t they see that? I also suggested that because most of the inhabitants of the Middle East were so

Now, at the ripe old age of 75, I find this incompetent bunch of ‘world leaders’ are only just beginning to realise they have not only failed to ‘save’ the Mid-East, but have managed to create a monster, that now truly does appear to be spiralling completely out of control.

And who are emerging as the new Mid-East leaders? Who else but the strongest and most cruel, fearspreading, dictatorial bunch the world has seen since the inglorious days of Attila the Hun. Told you so! How can the politicians be so completely out of touch with what’s really happening in the real world? I’ll tell you why, because none of them truly live in it.

In their ivory tower environments, they observe the world and its inhabitants as mere chess pieces, to be moved and manipulated on a playing field of smoky mirrors and lies, created by themselves merely to enhance their own careers and swell their comfortable nest eggs. I’ll be perfectly honest and tell you I have never voted for any of them in my whole life, I just couldn’t do it. I believe the whole system is wrong and you can’t trust or rely on any of them. Their inflated egos, arrogance and downright lily-livered ignorance, is slowly bringing this planet of ours to its knees. Not their planet, of course. Heaven forbid! Well, they don’t live on it, do they? Planet Politics is their domain. It’s an Earth moon. Wonder what will happen to them when there is no longer anything left to orbit!? Don’t even get me going on Madam Sayeeda Warsi. What happens when 75 per cent of the Cabinet is of the same biased ilk as this particular MP? Goodnight all.

Neater Heater can now bring more options to more customers

N

EATER HEATER are delighted to announce that, thanks to our new easy-to-use website and our partnership with MRW Couriers, we can almost guarantee same-week delivery (subject to stock levels) wherever you live in Spain. Naturally, we recommend that you plan in the spring to give yourselves a nice warm winter. Contacting us early will allow us to guarantee that your heaters will be on one of our regular deliveries from BEHA and ADAX. Electric systems are still the cheapest start-up option despite electricity prices rising, along with gas and oil. But because of the rising fuel prices it is even more imperative that you plan for the winter by purchasing cost-effective and efficient Neater Heaters, rather than waiting for the cold

CONVECTORS: Using the latest technology and materials. weather to catch you napping, causing you to rush out and buy whatever you can grab off the shelves. Neater Heaters are Norwegian Convector Heaters. They use latest technologies and materials to ensure that the electricity you use to heat your home is used effectively and

efficiently. We can heat a room using fewer kilowatts than our rivals, and our heaters are cheaper to buy than those of rivals claiming similar efficiency figures. We know this, because we started off as customers looking for something that didn’t exist anywhere in Spain at the time: an affordable,

effective electric heater. Eventually we had a stroke of luck and discovered that Norway had the answer to our problems. Easy to install and operate, as often the best things are, the Norwegian convector heaters we decided to buy quite honestly transformed our lives simply by making our houses warm in winter. In a ‘Victor Kiam’ moment we realised that if these heaters were the answer to our prayers, there would be other people out there who needed them too, so we decided to set up a business to import and sell them on the Costa Blanca. Their popularity spread, and so did we. At the start of last winter we were selling them

from Denia down to Malaga through our network of agents - see our updated website for details. However, this was not enough, as we were getting enquiries from throughout Spain, so we contacted MRW Couriers and started work on our website to make it customer friendly. This winter, subject to our current stock levels, anyone in Spain can order their Neater Heater from our website on Monday and have it delivered free by Friday.

A thriving community spirit WITHIN the daily demands of our modern, hectic lifestyles and busy agendas, time seems to fly like the wind, with many people convinced that it feels as though it passes progressively faster as the years go by.

ENDY LESTER of Spanish Property Choice in Mojacar, Almeria, said: “I think Spain has much more community spirit than the UK. There is such a range of nationalities here, all integrating together, and we all come together for fiestas and events whereas in the UK we always seemed to be chasing deadlines.” Scott Marshall of PropertiesSpain in Benahavis, Malaga, said: “The great weather in Spain means people are able to plan getting out and about, which

through social networks and mobile phones...sometimes one wonders if the speed at which we are advancing as a race has detrimental effects on how we actually interact personally with each other. Modern advancements have done away with the need to regularly deal with people on a personal level. Are the days where everyone knew their neighbour’s name and stopped for

a chat gone with the winds of change or have they survived in pockets of different societies? EWN decided to investigate the issue and try to find out how expatriates felt about the Spanish communities they are now living in. We asked: “Having lived in the UK and now residing as part of a community in Spain, do you think there is more of a community spirit in Spain than the UK and, if so, why?”

STREET TALK in turn is much more conducive to social networking and building a strong community spirit.” Jane Machin of Opticas Machin said: “I’ve lived in Spain for 25 years and am really blessed to be part of a very strong community in Estepona.

Having had to work through the changes that come with relocating to a strange country, most long-term expatriates are very understanding and supportive of newcomers and this is a key ingredient in the community spirit here.” Bruno Benitez of Racing Legends Nueva Campana, Marbella,

added: “I think there is a feeling of more social solidarity in the Spanish community... perhaps because we grow up with a very strong sense of appreciation for the family unit. If you learn to appreciate spending time with friends and family from a young age, this carries respectively into your adult and also professional life. Spanish people love to organise social events and make everyone feel welcome.” So we are happy to report that despite the odds, community spirit is alive, well and thriving in Spain! JANE MACHIN

Work space could affect sleeping

WORKING in an office with no windows could result in less sleep. New research shows that those in windowless rooms could lose an average of 46 minutes of sleep a night compared to those who sit near windows. The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, which suggested that the working environment is a factor in setting the body’s own internal clock. The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Illinois, Northwestern

University in Chicago and the Hwa-Hsia Institute of Technology in Taiwan. They recruited office employees, with half of them spending most of the day in a windowless environment and their sleeping and lifestyle habits were then analysed. Those with the most exposure to light at work found they slept an average of 46 minutes more than those in darker conditions. LESS SLEEP: If you work in a windowless environment.

Planning in advance can help to avoid symptoms of jet lag JET LAG can wreak havoc on the body’s internal clock but there are ways to avoid it. Try gradually shifting sleeping and eating times at least four days before departure to make them coincide with those of the final destination. This should slowly adjust the

body’s internal clock. Avoid overeating and caffeine at least 12 hours before the flight. While it is true that caffeine can help people stay awake longer, it also makes them wake up more than once thus reducing their total sleep time.

Doctors recommend staying hydrated, so it is probably a good idea to drink at least eight ounces of water for every hour of flight. It is also advisable to keep a bottle of moisturising lotion and lip balm in the carry-on. There is nothing better to

avoid jet lag than to sleep on the plane, especially when travelling overnight or flying west to east. The more the body is rested, the easier it will be for it to deal with the stress of jet lag. Be careful with sleeping pills. Yes, a pill may be helpful on an

overnight flight but an incorrectly timed dosage may result in grogginess after landing. Furthermore, a plane is certainly not the place to try out a pill for the first time, so flyers should only take medications they are already familiar with.

ESSENTIAL OILS: Rose and argan are two of the oldest and most trusted.

HIV DRUGS: Could help those with multiple sclerosis.

Help for MS sufferers DRUGS used to treat HIV could be used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers say that people with HIV are 62 per cent less likely to develop MS and say the drugs used to treat HIV could be behind the lowered risk. MS is caused by the body’s own defences attacking the fatty insulation surrounding nerve fibres and can lead to progressive loss of physical skills. The claims come from researchers at Queen Mary University of London, the University of Oxford and the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, which examined more than 21,000 HIV-positive patients.

Essential oils are a natural source of health and beauty ESSENTIAL vegetable oils have an undeniably good effect on our organism at a nutritional as well as a cosmetic level. The oils are extracted from the seeds or fruits of oleaginous plants and can be very beneficial to us due to their high levels of acid polyunsaturated fats (w-3 and w-6), antioxidants and vitamins (E and A). The highest quality of essential oils come from the ones which have been extracted by cold pressing – at no more than 40ºC. This allows them to keep 99 per cent of their nutrients intact. Argan (Argania spinosa) oil comes from the fruit of a tree which grows in South-western Morocco and has been

used by the Berber peoples for centuries for therapeutic medicine and cosmetic purposes. Due to its mild, nutty taste it goes well on salads and fresh vegetables or, for cosmetic purposes, can be rubbed directly onto the skin. Rose (Rosa rubiginosa) oil comes mainly from Chile and has a massive array of vitamins and minerals and is used mainly for cosmetics – usually to prevent or correct cutaneous imperfections like blemishes or light scarring. There are, of course, many other oils but these are the two oldest remedies known to history so they can’t be that far off the mark.

Could a kiss a day keep the doctor away? SOME say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But could a kiss have the same effect? A case could be made that kissing can have considerable health benefits and trigger a wide range of physiological processes that boost immunity. During a kiss, the brain releases dopamine, a hormone and neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of desire and bonding. But it is not just that, because it also releases serotonin and when this crucial chemical is at an ideal level, people feel mellow, hopeful, optimistic and relaxed. Kissing could even prevent cavities. No, it is not a joke.

HEALTH BENEFITS: Kissing may reduce stress levels and boost immunity. A lip-lock increases saliva production, which may wash away the harmful bacteria that can cause tooth decay, cavities and plaque build-up. Throw in a little tongue and kissing

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

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Although you feel like going it alone at the moment, you would do well to involve someone close in your project or exercise. There is room for improvement in both your life and your health but it can be more enjoyable if shared. Expect surprises in your love life and you will not be surprised. . LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It could be that you are feeling a little below par at the moment. You may assume it is because of a recent emotional upset, but it is unlikely to be quite that simple. Spend a bit of time and money on yourself for a change. Develop your talents in the realms of writing, painting and music. This need not take a large amount of time. Start with one simple project. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Despite pulling out all the stops when it comes to a certain person or project, your charm may not be working as well as usual this week. It is still a fine time to beaver on quietly in the background. A few emotional fireworks make you sit up and take notice, but try to be open-minded. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Get some rest and peace because, if you let yourself get too tired, your temper could suffer. When it comes to business get it over with so that you can spend extra time on your social life. Something important is round the corner. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Sometimes you shuffle things around to survive difficult times. The energy that this uses means that realising a dream this week could mean difficult choices to be made. Your need to be settled makes you impatient.

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Your great energy and loyalty to a certain project serve you well. The Lion in you wants to push ahead and your confidence is inspiring. However, not until mid-September will you feel able to ask for what you desire.

August 15: Ben Affleck, 42. Film actor. Oscar-winning actor who first came to fame with Good Will Hunting, which he also wrote, he later went on to direct and act in the Academy Awardwinning film, Argo. August 16: Madonna, 56. Singer. Grammy Award-winning pop singer who became known for hits like Papa Don’t Preach and Like a Virgin she has also made several films. August 17: Robert De Niro, 71. Film actor. Actor, director and producer who won an Academy Award for his role in Raging Bull and another for Best Supporting Actor in The Godfather Part II. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Energy is low but your spirit seems to be getting power from somewhere. At times, it feels that it is almost outside of your own sphere. When tackling what is seen as a tedious task, you may not be aware that you are building something for the future, but there is much going on that will affect your future to a large extent. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) For some time, things on the romantic front have been confusing, to say the least. There are decisions that someone has to make that affect you seriously. Romantically and emotionally, things come to a head but don’t let the wind of change blow away all that you have achieved. Don’t begin to doubt yourself or others will, too.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Arm yourself with plenty of information about what is going on in your life at the moment. Those close might expect you to lead the way on an important matter. You need to trust your instincts more and have confidence. Think in the long term. Those who are not considered important now could be so in the future. As you prefer being in charge, this should not seem unnatural to you.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You may well feel that your business life is not going as well as you would have hoped this week. They do say that you can’t have everything right at once. This is a good time to enjoy the company of others and make your love life buzz. .

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Because you are about to enter an active phase, it would be best to keep things as straightforward and organised as possible. Those around you may be less than exciting at the moment, so keep the interest going with joint activities and accepting interesting invitations.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is something of the rebel in you this week. Even you don’t fully understand the changes taking place. You will resist any attempt to stop from expressing yourself freely. Although you prefer a peaceful time, it may be necessary to remind someone of your rights.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Have you been a bit of a couch potato recently? Spend some of this week working towards a healthy mind in a healthy body. Running yourself ragged should certainly be avoided. Seek expert advice now about a problem that just won’t go away. It will, but only with a lot of effort. Although you prefer to share your activities, this is one area that you need to concentrate on fully, so go for it alone to begin with.

TOP TEN FAVOURITE BRITISH HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS SUMMER is here and everyone is either going on holiday or thinking about going on holiday so here are the top 10 destinations for British holidays. 1. Thailand Dubbed as ‘The Land of Smiles’ this country has changed a lot since it was the backpackers favourite destination. It has turned itself into a mainstream holiday destination. The attraction is evident: beautiful countryside, fantastic beaches, great food, friendly people and low prices. This country has a fascinating cultural heritage and the capital, Bangkok, is buzzing with energy. 2. Croatia Its untouched coastline is among the most beautiful in the world and one of the most pristine in Europe. Croatia offers very good value when compared to other Mediterranean destinations with many fantastically attractive and reasonably priced resorts along the coast and the islands. The capital, Dubrovnik, once referred to as the Pearl of the Adriatic, has been restored to its former glory.

Unmissable love story BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com

Looking for Alaska is the unmissable first novel written by bestselling and awardwinning American author John Michael Green. It would be unfair to write off this beautifully written novel as a typical boy-meets-girl love story because it is much more than that. It is a tale of how true love is not always as translucent as it seems and showcases what it means to love and grow up in

today’s world in a brutal and honest light. The novel starts with Miles Halter leaving his native Florida to attend a new school in Alabama, where he meets gorgeous, yet mysterious and emotionally wrecked Alaska Young, with whom he falls madly in love. Green masterfully describes the ups and downs every teenager goes through when falling in love and trying to find

3. Egypt The Valley of the Kings, a Nile cruise, shopping in Cairo: there are Italy many activities to choose from in this country whether you want to chill on a beach or explore the culture, Egypt has something for every pocket and every taste. 4. Turkey This country has actually benefited from not joining the Eurozone and, although not as cheap as 20 years ago, it still remains one of the cheaper destinations in which quality does not have to be sacrificed.

App of the Week CATCH free. Early Honeycomb tablet owners were buzzing about this cloud app, and justifiably so. Not a million miles away from Evernote, it’s about scribbling notes, recording voice memos and taking photos, then storing them in the cloud - with a Streams feature particularly useful for collaborative work.

Sudoku Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3X3 box contains the digits 1-9. There’s no maths involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.

5. Italy Fantastic beaches, ancient culture, amazing food and great weather, Italy offers a lot and it consistently comes out near the top in almost every survey of favourite holiday destinations, whether it is Rome, Florence and Venice or the countryside of Tuscany.

6. Great Britain UK travellers can still enjoy their own country (especially if they live in Spain); the UK’s most popular destinations are Devon and Cornwall, the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and Scotland. Britain offers many interesting holiday experiences from renting a lighthouse keeper’s cottage to boating holidays along its canals and waterways. 7. USA This is the most popular long haul destination for British holidaymakers as it has an impressive array of diversity: amazing landscapes, iconic cultural sights, friendly people (who love British accents) and great food. 8. Greece The whitewashed villas, the friendly tavernas, the hot sun and the blue, blue sea. Greece has a lot to offer and holidays there are all about simplicity - even their food is a masterpiece of simplicity, both traditional and healthy. 9. France Despite a slightly rocky historical relationship between the two countries, the British still love to holiday in France. Some of its favourite destinations are the beaches of Corsica and the Ile de Re as well as cycling through the beautiful countryside or shopping in Paris. Wine tours and cooking courses have been a long standing British holiday destination in this country since the 17 century. 10. Spain This is a long-time favourite and remains the UK’s number one holiday destination. Favourites are the Balearic Islands of Mallorca and Ibiza along with the Canary Islands, not forgetting the Costa del Sol or any of the other popular costas. Spain offers interesting culture, fun, great food, amazing local festivities, fantastic weather and friendly people.

Monty the Petsitter loves puppies By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch MONTY is a student who works during holidays; he repairs bikes and walks the neighbours’ dogs. He has always had dogs at home too. Just recently he joined a network to find work as a petsitter. His first job was puppy sitting for a week. Hard work? Not a bit! “I maintained the owner’s routine. On waking I’d let the dogs out to relieve themselves in the secure garden. We’d then play and I’d give them their breakfast and fresh water. Because Cara is so young (six weeks) they stayed at home, but with the dog flap open so they went between the house and garden.

“Returning after an outing I’d say hello and be greeted with great excitement, rewarding them with a treat. We’d play ball games and tug of war. “Routine is really important for them so by 6pm every night they would be fed and I’d carry on with my evening whilst playing with them. At bedtime Cara would sleep in her cot due to her age, but Murphy (one-year-old) roamed the house. It was fun. I love puppies, they have so much energy!” Download your Free Easy Guide to Housesitting from here www.bit.ly/eurown001 To find a petsitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on +44 (0) 186 552 1508

Cat owners should beware of lilies ALL parts of the lily including the stem, leaves, petals, stamens and pollen - are poisonous to cats. Even minor exposures (cat chewing on a leaf or getting pollen on fur or whiskers) can be fatal. While the exact toxin is still unidentified, cats who are not treated can quickly develop acute renal failure and die, generally within three to six days. Cats with acute renal failure typically have vomiting, depression, partial or complete loss of appetite and dehydration.

David THE Dogman

Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm

Cats who have been seen near lilies, as well as those who have definitely ingested any part of a lily, should be seen by a veterinarian immediately. Cats who are treated within 18 hours of exposure to a toxic lily generally recover. However, in cases where

VET CARE: Vital to combat exposure to toxic lilies. treatment is delayed, the prognosis is generally poor and most cats are euthanised. Your vet can provide certain medications to help your cat eliminate the plant. In addition, your cat will receive intravenous fluids in the veterinary clinic for approximately 48 hours. The vet may refer your cat to a specialty or emergency hospital for continued care. Blood tests will be done when your cat is admitted to the hospital and will be repeated in 24 and 48 hours.

Cats who receive the above care within 18 hours of exposure generally do very well. Those who are treated later typically do not survive, even with aggressive therapy (such as dialysis). Unfortunately, there is no home treatment that is successful in saving the lives of cats who are poisoned by lilies. They must be taken to a vet as quickly as possible.

When to seek medical advice if your dog or cat has a cough WHEN should you be worried if your pet starts coughing? Coughing can be one big cough; e.g., if the dog drinks water too quickly. Or a couple of harsh coughs if something gets stuck in the throat. This will cease as soon as the throat is cleared. Coughing can be dry, persistent and not productive. These are irritations of the throat and

trachea and in dogs are commonly caused by kennel cough, a syndrome caused by para-influenza viruses and the bordetella bacteria. It is very contagious; it just needs one dog coughing in the direction of another to transmit the disease. Hence the name kennel cough. It is an infection of the larynx and trachea and will need treatment. Cats could be coughing

due to hair in the throat. They may suffer from feline asthma, which could be due to allergy, which gives them a dry, harsh cough. Coughing can be productive, which means mucus needs to come up. This is due to bronchitis. Be aware that dogs and cats will cough up the mucus but then swallow it, so you do not see it. Bronchitis needs treatment for the infection and

products that make it easier to cough mucus up.

CEVICHE is a Latin American dish consisting mainly of meat or seafood which has been cooked using only the acidity of vinegar or citrus juice - much like ‘boquerones en vinagre’ which can be found all over Spain. Here are five suggestions on how to serve it at home. First of all sushi-grade fish is necessary but it’s also acceptable to use frozen if it is high quality. Whatever fish you choose just cut it into thin strips and then put it in a citrus or vinegar marinade for around 45 minutes (depending on the thickness of the strips). Add a few herbs and spices to taste and it’s ready. Scallop ceviche is made with

CEVICHE: A simple summer food. finely shredded and unsweetened coconut flakes which add an unexpected texture and flavour to the spicy

dish. White fish ceviche verde is made with a variety of fish for a mix of flavours and textures;

combine this with creamy avocado, big green olives, crunchy chopped spring onions and some cherry tomatoes. Octopus ceviche is definitely for the more adventurous but it is a taste that goes well with a citrus marinade - for extra crunch and colour just add peppers. Ceviche tacos are an excellent barbecue item to liven up the meat based meal. Just make any sort of ceviche and serve it in a taco shell. Scandinavian ceviche is made with smoked fish instead of fresh and may be more appealing for those who are not keen on the idea of eating raw fish.

Everyone’s favourite but how do you eat one? THEY are everyone’s favourite bivalve yet so many of us are unsure how to eat them. Here are a few tips to get started with oysters. Oysters get their flavour from the type of water they come from, much like wine and ‘terroir,’ so the first step is to order the variety that you like most. North Atlantic oysters are smaller, milder and brinier and have a smoother shell than their south Atlantic cousins so the first step is deciding if you want a strong taste or a milder one. Don’t be scared of asking the waiter for advice - they probably know more than most of their customers about the food they serve.

RAMEN: Hiding the danger of sodium.

Ramen noodles and salt

OYSTER ETIQUETTE: Chew or swallow? Once ordered they will come on a tray of ice with condiments in the centre. The condiments can include horseradish, mignonette (red wine vinegar, shallots and pepper), cocktail sauce,

Tabasco sauce and lemon wedges. The best is to try an oyster by itself first then you will know which condiment, if any, you want on it. Use the little forks given to loosen the

mollusc from its shell and when it is fully detached just bring the wider part of the shell to your mouth and slurp; the choice to chew or directly swallow is an individual one.

WHETHER you are a broke university student or a time pressed worker, Ramen noodles are an easy answer for a tasty, ready to eat meal which is also cheap, but there are drawbacks to the briny noodle dish in the form of the amount of sodium it contains. A typical bag of ‘just add boiling water’ ramen noodles contains around three grams of sodium which is half of the recommended daily intake. These figures get worse the more gourmet the

ramen are; in a study carried out by the University of Chicago it was found that the more gourmet the ramen noodles the more salt they contained - they analysed a bowl of Momofuku noodles and discovered it contained seven grams of salt! High sodium intake can increase the risk of high blood pressure, strokes, kidney problems and osteoporosis so it may be best to save the ramen for when you are really pressed for time.

is not just that, onions can give the body improved immunity, thanks to their phytochemicals, which are said to improve the working of vitamin C in the body. In addition, eating onions on a regular basis goes a long way towards reducing the risk of developing gastric ulcers, and health experts have long known that onions are very low in calories and fats.

Ways to cut down your sodium intake THE new EU dietary guidelines have lowered the recommendation for daily sodium intake to six grams per day so we all have to work on ways to cut more sodium (salt) out of our diets. Here are a few tips to make it easier: Rinse and drain all tinned veg - the brine contains a lot of sodium as a preservative. Taste food before adding salt - this may seem obvious but many people just salt their food out of habit. Use herbs and spices instead of salt to liven up a dish. Limit eating in restaurants, they tend to use a lot of salt to

SALTY DIET: Read labels carefully and check lists of ingredients.

make dishes tastier. Whenever possible choose the low or reduced sodium

option on ready-made meals. Check the label for nutrition facts - some foods, even

cereals, contain more salt than you might imagine. Make your own salad

dressings - the ready-made dressings often contain huge amounts of salt to counteract the vinegar used. Check the ingredient list and look for synonyms of salt like MSG, disodium phosphate, sodium alginate and sodium nitrate; they all mean salt. Be careful with seasoning blends even if they don’t mention salt in their titles; lemon pepper can still be very high in sodium content.

OPINION & COMMENT

Spilt milk by Hollywood stars unlikely to mention Gaza, Israelis and Palestinians in the same breath or the near future.

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

S

PAIN’S two most international film stars, Oscar-winning Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, put their names to an uncompromising statement about the Gaza bombings. The open letter blaming Israel for the latest hostilities was issued by the Spanish film industry and also signed by another Oscar-winner, Pedro Almodovar. While the letter generally reflected non-official Spanish thinking, it was badly received by the social media and the Hollywood film industry. No doubt that is why Cruz and Bardem promptly back-tracked. “I’m not an expert on the situation,” said the actress in a damage-limitation letter to the newspaper America Today. She and her husband are experts in advancing their careers and have now learnt that in Hollywood anti-Zionism is unfailingly equated with antiSemitism. Whatever their personal feelings, they are

Follow the money THE Catalans have a reputation for maintaining a mighty respect for money and knowing how to make it.

“Spain robs us!” is one of the separatist faction’s loudest rallying cries. The conviction that Cataluña gives any Spanish government, whatever its colour, more than it gets back is one of the pillars on which justification for independence is built. Now former president Jordi Pujol has confessed to hiding a fortune in offshore accounts while two of his sons, Jordi and Oriol - another politician - face multiple corruption accusations. Some of the very people backing a split from Spain have allegedly been robbing their fellow Catalans for decades. For the Madrid govern-ment at least, the saga arrives like rain after a drought and Mariano Rajoy can sit back and watch as the Pujol family helps to shortcircuit the independ-ence bid.

his admittance to prison. He was convicted on corruption charges and is world-famous for building Castellon’s €150 million airport that opened in 2011, but has never received a commercial flight. Fabra has fended off imprisonment with countless appeals and has already organised a petition requesting a pardon. It may well be granted because a great many people believe that Fabra knows where the bodies are. Presumably he will be protected until they have turned into cobwebby skeletons that can harm no-one.

True love IT is essential to separate the political and business worlds, said the BBVA bank’s second-in-charge Angel Cano. “Whenever they mix, corruption appears.” Cano was talking about the Pujol family, but he could have been talking about Madrid, Andalucia or the Valencian Community. Separation is unlikely to come about because politics and business are a true Spanish love match. But least there is no longer a ménage a trois, now that the Church has reluctantly left the relationship.

China - new kid on the block - new global superstar? THE number of British expats dropping off the official statistics and saying adiós to Spain forever is increasing. There are currently 297,299 Brits listed on local population registers: a 22.8 per cent drop from last year. Years of recession with unemployment at 24.5 per cent is given as one reason for the British exodus. Thousands of Britons who headed to Spain during its decade-long building boom are heading back to the UK, currently experiencing the fastest growth in the developed world. Tortuous legal disputes with the Spanish authorities over property rights are another reason - plus changes to tax laws affecting non-Spanish residents. The new obligatory ‘law’ to complete a form to declare assets abroad has sparked huge mistrust. While the Spanish

MADE IN CHINA: Soon it will be replaced by ‘Bought in China.’ government’s objective is to catch tax fraudsters, many Brits are highly suspicious of handing over this information to its Tax Agency. What about the rest of Europe? France, like Italy, is still in deep recession while Greece is crippled by its 27.3 per cent unemployment rate. Europe’s problems serve, in fact, to underline the switch in the global balance of power: how China is slowly turning into

the world superpower, expected to buy up some of its biggest companies. The Chinese tycoon, Wang Jianlin, China’s richest man, recently snapped up the Edificio España, an abandoned Madrid landmark, for €265 million. Indeed, the collapse of the market in Spain has created huge opportunities for cash-rich companies. Last year, Asian

investors spent €50 million: in the first quarter of this year, they pumped €368 million into the economy. According to Gerard Lyons, chief economist at Standard Chartered: “There’s no doubt about it now: China is the kingmaker. The past decade was characterised by three words: Made in China. The next decade it’ll be: Bought by China.”

Maybe, like the Russians before them buying up homes here, attracted by cheaper property prices, it’ll now be the turn of the Chinese - and they’ll soon be arriving in Spain through the same swing doors that the Brits are exiting.

T’S sweltering outside but with a breeze through an open door from a shaded terrace it’s bearable, with a cool infusion to sip while writing next week’s article. As explained below there are several things prepared from garden plants that are very enjoyable during the hot summer days. Lemon verbena infusions A few leaves of this attractively smelling and tasting herb in hot water, best not quite boiling, yields a very refreshing hot or cold summer beverage. It’s a good idea to keep a large jugful in the fridge for mid-afternoon drinking before and after a siesta. Rosemary, mint, rose petal and olive leaf infusions This a great mix for a healthy, re-energising and life extending breakfast cuppa. See the book ‘Living Well From Our Garden - Mediterranean Style’ for numerous other ideas. Mint soup and infusions Entertaining a group of friends last night we started with a soup that is very easy to make and immediately soothing on a hot sultry day or night. Just harvest, or buy, a moderately sized ridge cucumber for each person then put into a

chopper/blender machine with unsweetened yoghurt, fresh lemon juice, chopped mint leaves and salt and pepper to taste. Once a smooth creamy liquid is produced place in a jug or bowl in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Tomatoes Summer favourites include chilled tomato gazpacho soup, fresh baked bread with an olive oil, tomato and crushed garlic spread and an Andalucian Remojon salad made with thin slices of oranges and tomatoes, chopped salt

cod, home cured olives and a dressing of olive oil and dry sherry or Moriles wine. Coastal valley dews When I leave at day break for a cool comfortable walk there is heavy dew on the leaves of shiny plants, paths and cars parked in the road. Overnight it had cooled off and rehydrated plants. However it is not sufficient to meet the daily needs of plants, so regular watering is a must for many plants with continuing drought conditions. By 8.30am the dew has gone as an

already hot sun rises over our local mountain. By the way although central Spain has had a good few storms this summer the landscape around Madrid and Segovia were parched brown when I assisted two weeks ago week as a volunteer at a Vaughan Town Week where Spaniards pay big money to practice talking English for 84 hours in six days. Volunteers are sought with a wide range of British and international English accents. By the way, this is a good way to give something back to Spain for the good weather and gardens, and make new friends. Interestingly with only half the level of humidity and good breezes, Madrid and Segovia were much more comfortable places to be than the holiday Costas, and everywhere roses were blooming heavily.

Look up ‘Books about Spain’ in the new EWN DIRECTORY If you would like to know a little more about each of Dick’s useful gardening and lifestyle books you can now do so by going onto the EWN

website and clicking Directory and then clicking Spanish Books. ‘Living well from our garden - Mediterranean style’ is an interesting and inspiring book that can help you live well in terms of spiritual and mental health and economic well-being.’ ‘Our 52 day retirement adventure along the Spanish Pyrenees’ describes a 945 kilometre trek from the rocky shores of the Bay of Biscay to the soft sandy beaches of the Med through the Spanish Pyrenees. ‘How to use less water in your garden’ is a practical guide to what is involved in waterless gardening in Spain.

Home transfer agreements set to benefit families on low incomes

FAMILIES in the Basque Country are to benefit from an agreement recently negotiated between a bank and the Basque Government. Kutxabank has agreed to transfer to Eusko Jaurlaritza (Basque Government) 100 homes which are to be rented out to low-income families. As stated in the agreement, the properties can only be rented out to people or families whose annual income a year before applying for one of the transferred properties did not exceed â‚Ź21,100. The lessees that fulfil all the necessary requirements are to pay rents that under no circumstances can exceed 30 per cent of their annual income, which means they will not pay more than â‚Ź400,

LEASE AGREEMENT: It will only be valid for three years.

including community fees and the land value tax. In addition, the annual rent is to be subject to subsequent adjustments based on the consumer price index published by the Spanish National Statistics Institute. The lease agreement will only be valid for a term of three years and Eusko Jaurlaritza has committed itself to maintaining the transferred properties in good condition and to hire all the necessary services. The agreement reached between the government and the bank includes a clause stating the homes are to be returned in the same condition as before transfer. Some properties are brand-new and have two or three bedrooms.

Property sales increased by 8.8 per cent in June HOME sales increased by 8.8 per cent in June. Property sales in June increased by 8.8 per cent compared to June 2013 reaching as many as 26,076

transactions, said the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) last Thursday. This is the fourth year-over-year increase in a row after similar increments in March (22 per cent), April (5 per cent) and May (5.4 per cent), putting an end to 10 consecutive months of year-over-year contractions. The surge can be

attributed to the 17.4 per cent increase in sales of second-hand properties, which amounted to 16,257 operations. On the other hand, the sales of new properties dropped by 3 per cent on a year-over-year basis, reaching 9,819 transactions. As much as 90.5 per cent of all properties sold in June 2014 were private residences. The sales of private housing increased by 9.9 per cent compared to 2013 (23,596 transactions), while the sales of subsidised properties dropped by 1.4 per cent compared to last year, only reaching 2,480 transactions. Most of the sales were registered in Valencia (96). HOME SALES IN MADRID: Reached 3,789 transactions.

SPAIN’S REAL-ESTATE MARKET: Hard hit by economic downturn in 2008.

Residential market to begin improving THE Spanish residential property market is to begin improving in 2015 and prices are likely to increase by 2 per cent, according to Standard & Poor’s. Recent data seem to indicate that the fall in prices has slowed down in the last few months and the American financial services company predicts that prices will drop overall by 2 per cent in 2013 compared to 4.6 per cent last year. Property prices in the country have decreased by approximately 30 per cent since the real-estate market was hard hit by the economic downturn six years ago.

As stated by Standard & Poor’s, the favourable outlook for Spain’s property market is due to the fast recovery of the economy and a rapid fall in unemployment. Spain’s economy grew by 0.5 per cent between April and June 2014, said the Spanish Central Bank. This represents the fastest growth rate in as many as six years and the latest unemployment figures show 192,000 people found a job in the last year. Some experts believe the trend witnessed in Spain’s property market in the last

12-month period can be safely attributed to the arrival of American and British property funds. Nevertheless, it is rather unlikely that the property market in Spain will recover throughout the country at the exact same space. The prices of properties located in coastal areas are expected to increase first. On the other hand, Standard & Poor’s says Spain’s long-term recovery could be held back by the large number of property on the market and the population decline.

2nd-hand properties remaining unsold THERE are close to 13 unsold second-hand homes for every 1,000 people in Spanish capitals. According to a study by idealista.com, there are 12.6 unsold second-hand homes in the capitals of Spanish Autonomous Communities for every 1,000 people. Their number has steadily grown by 55 per cent since August 2011, when there were 8.1 properties sitting idle on the market for every 1,000 people. To draw this conclusion, idealista.com looked at their housing stock data

and compared them to official figures from the last 2013 municipal register of inhabitants released. With 25.8 second-hand unsold homes per 1,000 people, Alicante is the Spanish city with the highest housing density levels based on its population levels, followed by Ciudad Real (25.6), and Bilbao (21.7). On the contrary, the city with the lowest housing density level is Huesca (5.9), followed by Murcia (6.4), Teruel (6.5) and Cuenca and Santa Cruz de Tenerife (7.1).

‘Whisper diesel’ the Opel Zafira Tourer ANOTHER economical choice for the Zafira Tourer: the versatile Opel seven-seater is now available in a second 1.6 CDTI ecoFLEX version with a power output of 88kW/120hp. This joins the 100kW/136hp turbo diesel which made its debut in the compact van last year. Both are members of Opel’s new diesel generation and distinguished by exceptionally economical fuel consumption with firstclass running smoothness as well as minimal noise generation, which has prompted the motoring press to hail Opel’s 1.6 CDTI ecoFLEX engine as the ‘whisper diesel’. It is part of Opel’s large model and engine offensive, which will see 27 new models and 17 new engines introduced between 2014 and 2018. The new base version of the Zafira Tourer diesel is now on sale for a very attractive €26,850 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany). A clear focus on minimising engine noise, vibration and harshness characterised the engine’s entire concept, design and development process.

New traffic laws in Spain a brief resumé for drivers By David Hudson of Club Torrevieja Clasicos Red A REFORM of some traffic laws was passed by the Spanish Government in March this year but needed the king’s signature to become law. The following is a brief resumé of the relevant laws on driving in Spain. Fines for drink-driving have been increased to €500 with €1,000 for double the amount permitted, which now is 0.5 milligrams per litre of air or 0.30 milligrams for new or professional drivers. In areas that have a large number of cyclists the speed limit can be reduced by 50 per cent or maximum of 25kph. The speed limit for motorways has been increased to 130kph but it has been agreed that existing speed limits remain in place if safety is in doubt. If safety can be improved then the speed limit can be reduced to 100 or less without having to get a new law approved. This means that drivers need to keep an eye on the

MOTORWAYS: Speed limit increased to 130kph. signs and illuminated signals for the speed limit of the section they are driving on. Around Alicante and Murcia regions this is currently the situation. Minimum speed has been reduced mainly for inner cities and urbanisations. Payment of fines has been increased to 20 days to pay the penalty to obtain a 50 per cent discount. A special new law for foreign residents now requires those that have

a residencia (resident’s permit) to change any vehicle they own on to Spanish plates. This clears up any grey areas that some foreigners have tried to use to avoild having to pay to get their vehicle on to Spanish registration. I have seen a large number of illegal UK registered vehicles in Los Montesinos on the Costa Blanca recently so maybe the National Police will start there to get their practice in on

booking foreigners. This will be good for those who abide by the law because being illegal could mean that their

insurance will not pay out if involved in an accident. New laws are now in Turn to Page 122

Hyundai Motor unveils New Generation i20 HYUNDAI Motor Company has unveiled the first images of the New Generation i20, ahead of its world debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. The New Generation i20 has been designed and developed in Europe, and three key attributes in particular underline how it meets the needs of European consumers: classleading interior space, a host of hightechnology and comfort-enhancing features, and distinctive, refined design. Based on a new platform, the New Generation i20 features a 2570 mm wheelbase – 45 mm longer than its predecessor – providing European customers with one of the most spacious cabins in the segment. Efficient packaging has created a passenger compartment that can comfortably seat five

adults. Combined front and rear legroom is best in class at 1892 mm. Trunk capacity is also segment-leading: 326 litres when the rear seats are upright. Enhancing the comfort and the sense of space for driver and passengers is a unique-in-class panoramic sunroof. Able to both tilt and fully open, it fills the cabin with natural light and fresh air. Further features add to the refinement and convenience of the New Generation i20, including integrated rear-view camera and front LED lighting.

NEW GENERATION i20: a distinctive and refined design

New ŠKODA Fabia boasts up to 17 per cent better mileage than predecessor THE new ŠKODA Fabia sets new benchmarks in terms of fuel consumption and emissions. Due to debut at the Paris Motor Show in October, the new Fabia will use up to 17 per cent less fuel than its predecessor, making it the most environmentfriendly and fuelefficient Fabia of all time.

FOOTBALL - The first trophy of the new season has gone to Arsenal, who beat Manchester City 3-0 to lift the FA Community Shield at Wembley, Olivier Giroud scoring the pick of the goals. Meanwhile, the League seasons in England and Scotland got under way last weekend and Bournemouth had the biggest win, 4-0 over Huddersfield. Soon afterwards the Yorkshire club lost its manager - Mark Robins - after one game!

Cambridge United won their first ‘FL’ game for nine years and Luton their first for six. North of the border, promoted Rangers lost at home to relegated Hearts while Dundee United won at Aberdeen. And Celtic, knocked out of the Champions League, 6-1 on aggregate by Legia Warsaw, were subsequently reinstated after the Polish club was disqualified for fielding an illegible player. The 2014-15 Premiership season starts this weekend and the opening 10 fixtures are: Saturday: Arsenal-Crystal Palace; Manchester United-Swansea; LeicesterEverton; QPR-Hull; Stoke-Aston Villa; WBASunderland and West Ham-Spurs: Sunday: Liverpool-Southampton and Newcastle-

DID YOU KNOW? RIGHT now, there are plenty of ‘drinks’ in football... Brandy is with Rotherham, Bru with Ipswich and Drinkwater with Leicester; Whiskey stars in Mozambique, Vodka Vic in Uganda, Shandy in Indonesia and Coffee in America while Beer played for Birmingham (1902-10) and Gynn won the 1987 FA Cup with Coventry. And recently, Sunderland striker Connor Wickham blew £17,500 (€22,000) on a Nebuchadnezzar (15-litre bottle of Armand de Brignac Champagne) on a night out with friends in ‘poser’s paradise’ in Puerto Banus here in Spain. Full-bodied, marvellously complex, with a fresh and lively bouquet - that’s the Champagne, not Wickham!

Manchester City and Monday: BurnleyChelsea. GOLF - Despite the wind, rain, water and soggy greens, Rory McIlroy won a gripping US PGA Championship at Valhalla in Kentucky. Only 13 players have now claimed back-to-back Majors in the last 100 years and ‘Super Mac’ joins the elite after some excellent golf. Phil Mickelson was second behind the Irishman - the ninth time he has finished runner-up in a Major; Henrik

Stenson and Rickie Fowler finished joint third. CRICKET - England (367-9) thrashed India (152, with a record six ducks, and 161) by an innings and 54 runs in three days to win the fourth Test at Old Trafford. After Stuart Broad (6-25) had battered the tourists, some impressive batting performances by Joe Root, Ian Bell and Jos Buttler gave England a huge advantage which allowed Moeen Ali to spin Alastair Cook’s team into a 2-1 series lead. In fact, Ali has now taken 20 wickets in this series reaching that milestone in the quickest time by any England spin bowler. The final Test starts tomorrow at The Oval and Broad, who broke his nose at Manchester, will be fit to play, wearing a face mask. TENNIS - Swiss ace Roger Federer lost in straight sets to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (France) in the final of the Roger’s Cup in Canada.
