DYNAMIC DUO: Paul Kearns and Steve Tindall.

A rousing welcome

PAUL KEARNS and Steve Tindall are near the end of their marathon bike trip – and they want a rousing welcome from the Costa del Sol community.

The duo have been pedalling the 2,000 miles from Baildon, Yorkshire in the UK to Benalmadena in aid of Tomas Leighton and Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity.

They are due to finish their trek tomorrow (Friday October 17) at the Euro Weekly News head office in Calle Moscatel on the Arroyo de la Miel industrial estate at 1pm. All the staff

will give them a super welcome, and hope our readers will take the time to come and congratulate them on their achievement.

Tomas, who lives on the Costa del Sol, has cerebral palsy, blindness, epilepsy and global learning difficulties, each of which needs specialist attention to help him progress physically and intellectually and give him the best possible quality of life.

Russian visitors up by 17% THE number of Russians visiting Costa del Sol increased in 2014.

Neither the sanctions imposed

by Russian President Vladimir Putin nor the devaluation of the ruble, nor requests made by Russian Government officials asking its citizens not to holiday abroad but at home, seem to have affected the influx of Russian tourists to Malaga Province.

Between January and August the number of Russians arriving at the Malaga-Costa del Sol airport registered a 17 per cent increase year-over-year, from 36,610 in 2013 to 42,861 this year, according to figures given to Europa Press by the Tourism Board Malaga-Costa del Sol. This data stands in stark contrast to the drop in tourist

numbers witnessed elsewhere in the country since May. According to a report written up by the Spanish Tourism Office in Moscow and presented at the International Tourism Fair held in Madrid, the number of visas granted in Russia – especially in Moscow and Saint Petersburg – in 2013 to people wishing to travel to Spain took a sharp upturn.

Requesting a debate THE Gibraltar Social Democrats (GSD) have called upon the Gibraltar Government to debate the proposal to lower the voting age to 16. Though they are not opposed to the idea, the project should be discussed in the wider community, said the GSD.

A deadly threat

T

HE ease with which two health workers – one in Spain another in the USA – have caught Ebola is worrying.

Both were caring for patients with the deadly disease and were supposedly protected to the highest standards by modern protective gear and strict medical protocols.

Simply put, they should not have caught Ebola. But what was the first thing Spanish politicians did when criticism started to fly their way? They accused the nurse victim of lying and heaped all the blame on her, even as she lay seriously ill in hospital. Do they never learn?

The Spanish public has, quite rightly, been outraged by the smear campaign, viewing it as yet another example of the selfserving nature of politicians of all political spectrums.

Tax cuts and more jobs call MALAGA Province residents could see a saving of €90 million in taxes and 10,000 new jobs created - 50,000 in Andalucia - with a tax reform project presented by the Partido Popular’s (PP) regional president Juanma Moreno Bonilla.

Elias Bendodo - PP leader in Malaga – held a press conference yesterday (Wednesday October 15) morning accompanied by Francisca Caracuel, first vice-president of the provincial government; Maria del Mar Martin Rojo, Economy Councillor for Malaga and regional parliament member Victor Gonzalez.

He stressed the importance of these benefits if the reform is

applied in the province, urging left-wing governors in the region to lower taxes in Andalucia to meet reductions approved by the National government, Malaga City Hall and the provincial government.

The proposal carries measures including reduction of income taxes, discounts for large families in nursery costs, textbooks and school supplies not covered by the Junta de Andalucia regional government, language lessons and a €1,500 discount in outof-province university costs.

A progressive reduction in inheritance tax and taxes on donations with an aim to

totally removing these for lower and middle class citizens is also on the list of proposals, along with application of bonuses for legal costs.

Elias Bendodo said that these proposals were “sensible and coherent” and underlined that they intend to help Andalucia’s progressive financial improvement.

“Recovery will be quicker if Andalucia pays attention to our proposal,” he said.

He also asked for the Junta de Andalucia to concentrate on providing the next regional budget, which must be approved at the end of this month, to allow the people of Malaga to see clearly where their money is going to be spent.

Planned tax rises may be avoided MALAGA property owners should avoid a planned property tax rise as rateable valuations are being lowered by City Hall.

Initial approval of the decrees to establish taxes and municipal fees for 2015 along with regulations for subsidies for property tax (IBI) have been discussed. The Partido Popular (PP) government argues that these measures will benefit the taxpayer, while the opposition parties accuse them of making reductions in an election year following a number of years of increases purely for political reasons.

The 22 per cent reduction in property values applied for to Hacienda (Tax Office) should allow a planned property tax increase of 10 per cent to be avoided until 2018. Measures should also improve conditions for inheritance and mortgage repossessions.

€1.7 million in fines for illegal summer workers MORE than 500 people on the Costa del Sol were caught working without a contract during the summer months this year, resulting in a total of €1.7 million being paid in fines.

A series of surprise visits were carried out by work inspectors targeting the Costa del Sol’s bars, restaurants, discos and chiringuitos and a total of 458 fines were issued to various establishments found to be employing workers without a contract or not paying workers for extra hours.

According to the

Ministry for Employment and Social Security, nearly 1,400 inspections were carried out over the summer, many of which targeted wedding, baptism and communion celebrations and also local ferias. It is alleged that some catering companies and venues will hire extra staff for a busy event, but will often do so illegally.

Under Spanish law, an employer has to pay a fine of €3,126 for each worker without a contract and more serious cases also feature a 20 per cent surcharge.

On 42 occasions on the Costa

del Sol this summer the worker without a contract was also claiming Social Security payments at the time.

In these cases the employer is charged €10,000 per individual and the worker loses their unemployment benefits. The worker does not receive a fine but must pay back the amount claimed.

The Workers’ Commissions trade union in Malaga believes that the underground economy in the region is growing and is calling on the ministry to provide more inspectors to help combat the problem.

This makes seasonal eating a wise option for all foodies,

Open every day for lunch and dinner, with the hunting menu available in the evenings from Thursday 16th October onwards.

Jordi Pujol will be called to account FORMER President of Catalonia Jordi Pujol has lost the first battle in his fight to put an end to a judicial investigation into the origin of his fortune.

The Provincial Court upheld the ruling by a Barcelona court to initiate legal proceedings against Pujol, his wife Marta Ferrusola and their seven children.

Furthermore, it dismissed an appeal lodged by Pujol, who said he was the victim of an unfounded accusation.

The Provincial Court’s writ is based on a statement in which the former Catalan president admitted his family kept assets in Andorra of approximately €3.4 million hidden from the Spanish Tax Collector.

According to the statement, the money came from an inheritance left by Pujol’s father, who died in 1980, to his daughter-in-law and his seven grandchildren.

The information provided by Pujol regarding his fortune in Andorra is clearly incomplete, since it does not give concrete information on its origin, amount or the transactions conducted over almost 35 years, said the judges.

115 animal abuse cases this year THE Guardia Civil have detained or sentenced up to 115 people for maltreatment of domestic animals in the first six months of this year.

Out of the 158 cases reported, 111 have already been arrested or sentenced for the atrocities. Seprona (Servicio de ProtecciĂłn de la Naturaleza), the wildlife division of the Guardia Civil, arrested or detained 63 of the cases in the six months between January and July of 2014. To date there have been more than 7,300 reported crimes denounced to the police.

In September the Guardia Civil reported an upsetting discovery at a farm in EL Molar, Madrid, where they found nine decomposing horses and another 18 who were barely alive, suffering from malnutrition and chronic dehydration.

An undercover operation by Seprona at the start of the year – named ARGO – also exposed a gang from Eastern Europe who were transporting small domestic animals illegally from Slovenia and selling them to pet shops in Spain and Portugal.

Sixteen people were arrested along with false passports, false travel documents

and forged vet certificates.

Data released by the Guardia Civil reported that specialists from Seprona searched over 2,200 establishments where pets were sold, and inspected more than 31,000 animals of varying types.

Animal cruelty has increased dramatically since the economic crisis of 2008. Horse owners can no longer afford to keep up with stabling bills and vet bills and dog owners are abandoning the animals in far-away places, hoping that someone might adopt them.

In recent years, equine owners are selling their beloved horses to the slaughter houses rather than other establishments or horse markets due to a higher price paid for the animal. Unlike some animals that are bred for consumption, horse meat has no age restriction.

The Guardia Civil has published a list of guidelines on their website (guardiacivil.es) for anyone thinking of buying a domestic pet, with advice on detecting if an animal has been illegally imported into Spain.

Half of Costa hotels will stay open HALF the coast’s hotels are due to remain open during the winter season.

Seasonal hotel closure is expected to be similar to that of 2013 with 49 per cent of hotels closing for the winter, although a return to full activity is expected before spring, earlier than in previous years.

The Costa del Sol has said goodbye to its glorious summer months and is preparing for winter following a tourist season which is getting longer compared to the past, with May and October becoming the new limits to the high season.

Eyes are now warily set on the feared winter season, particularly regarding seasonal

closing of hotels and apartments.

Figures from last year are not enticing, with the difference between summer and winter seasons becoming a great worry to the industry.

A similar number of establishments as last year are expected to close; industry syndicates place the figures for the last few years at 40 per cent while the Tourist Board calculated 49 per cent of beds closed last winter.

Miguel Sanchez, head of the sector for the Andalucian Business Confederation, pointed out that staying open all year round was difficult due to the high costs involved and asked for reductions in costs

including taxes and airport fees.

Meanwhile, Arturo Bernal, head of the Costa del Sol Tourism Association, saw reason to be optimistic, saying that last year 6,000 fewer beds were closed than the year before and that gradually things are improving.

The need to reduce seasonal differences is both for economic reasons and prestige.

Many hotel workers find themselves out of work during the winter and need to work more months to enable them to claim for unemployment benefits.

On the Costa del Sol, in spite of past results, many look to the future with hope and see change on the horizon.

Hola Credito helps client with out of date credit rating Welcome to the news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short-term lender.

In our weekly column we look at financial products that Hola Credito offers. This week – how to secure a short-term loan without a credit rating.

THE press has been full of stories of the frustration and misery that occurs when credit rating agencies make mistakes or use old data. For people who need a fast, short-term loan this can become a huge problem, but Hola Credito’s online shortterm loan business has the solution.

One client, who needed to borrow €2,000 for a new car, was having trouble finding a lender who didn’t use credit checking agencies. “We had moved to Spain two years ago, but had lived at four different addresses during that time,” he said. “Trying to borrow money was a nightmare because the finance companies and banks we applied to use credit checking agencies which do not have up to date information and expected us to have a permanent address. Then I heard about Hola Credito.”

Hola Credito’s short-term loan service uses luxury assets as security, so it doesn’t use credit checks. It accepts high-

end watches, jewellery, precious metals, cars and boats. All it requires are two forms of ID, like a passport or driving licence and a utility bill.

The client sent an email to Hola Credito, with a picture of the Audemars Piguet Millenary watch he wanted to use to secure the loan. Within 30 minutes the deal was agreed, and once the watch had been deposited at Hola Credito’s Puerto Banus based offices the €2,000 loan was transferred to his bank account.

“It was easy to arrange and there was no arrangement fee or other charge,” the client said. “And the interest for the loan is calculated daily, so I only pay for the number of days I need the money.”

Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) offers flexible loan terms of between two weeks and six months. Most of its business is done online, or by telephone, which means it has low overheads and can offer excellent interest rates.

€1.7m fines for illegals MORE than 500 people on the Costa del Sol were caught working without a contract during the

summer months this year, resulting in a total of €1.7 million being paid in fines.

A series of surprise visits were carried out by work inspectors targeting the Costa del Sol’s bars, restaurants, discos and chiringuitos and a total of 458 fines were issued to various establishments found to be employing workers without a contract or not paying workers for extra hours.

According to the Ministry for Employment and Social Security, nearly 1,400 inspections were carried out over the summer, many of which targeted wedding, baptism and communion celebrations and also local ferias. It is alleged that some catering companies and venues will hire extra staff for a busy event, but will often do so illegally.

Under Spanish law, an employer has to pay a fine of €3,126 for each worker without a contract and more serious cases also feature a 20 per cent surcharge.

On 42 occasions on the Costa del Sol this summer the worker without a contract was also claiming social security payments at the time.

Junta takes 19 children into custody PLAINCLOTHES police officers, in unmarked cars carrying toys instead of weapons and accompanied by a psychologist, took four brothers away from their parents.

Social Services had ascertained that they lived in extremely poor and unhygienic conditions, were badly cared for and not doing well at school.

This brings the total number of children who have been removed from their parents’ custody to 19 this year.

Police Department representatives explained that it was a very difficult job to do but that “you know you are doing the right thing for the children.”

SOS app for Mijas police MIJAS Local Police are now able to use SOS Emergencias, the same mobile app recently installed by the fire brigade which enables users to inform of emergencies and be located by GPS. This app will be of great use to the emergency services in the locality due to the large area to cover and the difficulty in finding many residences, especially in country areas.

The system will mark a route and send it to a tablet in the emergency vehicle, vastly increasing the speed of arrival. It will also automatically send the notice to the closest vehicle, also helping to cut response times.

To use this service, SOS Emergencias can be found in Play Store and AppStore; after downloading, Mijas must be selected. The system also uses pictures to enable use by people with hearing problems.

These orders are issued by the Junta de Andalucia regional government when conditions require it, mostly involving abuse, negligence and actions

which endanger the child. Often the parents suffer psychological problems which make it difficult for them to correctly care for their children.

The Police Department takes children to the four Protection Centres within the province, found in Malaga City, Torremolinos, Alora and Torre del Mar. They are

also in charge of delivering juvenile delinquents to reform centres within Andalucia following judges’ orders.

Another of their jobs is to supervise children who

have been reported by schools to Social Services for absenteeism. Parents not enforcing school attendance can be considered a criminal act under Spanish law.

Crash drill at airport LOCAL and provincial emergency services joined forces with Malaga Airport services to carry out a simulation of a crash-landing outside the airport grounds.

The aim was for the simulation to be as real an exercise as possible; therefore, no warning as to when or where it would be carried out was given beforehand to the services involved.

The exercise was to simulate the crash of a plane approaching Malaga for landing, and involved a large amount of smoke. And to meet current laws, it required the activation of the Provincial Emergency Plan, co-ordinated by Jose Luis Ruiz Espejo, Andalucian Goverment Delegate for Málaga.

Fuengirola to create network of coeliac-friendly businesses FUENGIROLA is to be the first town in Costa del Sol to provide coeliacs easier access to gluten-free food in fully regulated bars and restaurants.

Coeliac disease occurs in genetically predisposed people and is caused by an immune response to gluten, said Social Services Councillor, Jose Martin.

People suffering from it must follow a lifelong gluten-free diet and be very careful when cooking to avoid cross contamination with foods containing gluten. It is estimated that 3 per cent of the population have coeliac disease.

“Many people from Fuengirola and visitors to the town are affected by this disease. That is the reason why we want to create a network of bars,

hotels, hostels, restaurants and all sorts of businesses where coeliacs can visit without problems,” said Martin. As many as 941 businesses in Fuengirola could participate in the initiative.

The council has been in contact with the Malaga Celiac Association (ACEMA) to determine what the next steps should be in bringing the project to light. The participating businesses will be invited to a workshop where they will not only learn what products are suitable for a gluten-free diet, but also how they are supposed to be prepared.

“There are already bars in town offering a similar service, but we want to create an official network.

Information on where to find coeliac-friendly

businesses will be published on the council’s and Tourist Department’s

websites. We are also considering the possibility of creating a map showing

where the celiac-friendly businesses are,” remarked Martin.

Golden goodies at Over 50s Show ORGANISERS of the hugely popular Over 50s Show have vowed that they won’t change their ‘winning formula’ for this year’s event.

Described as the ‘ultimate lifestyle event for the coast’s seniors’, Costa residents and visitors of a certain age can look forward to another entertaining and informative few days showcasing a range of products, services and information directly related to their interests and needs.

Health checks, computer and internet tuition, antiques, golf lessons and artworks are just some of the features of this year’s Over 50s Show to be held at the Estepona Palacio de Ferias y Congresos. Other highlights of the ‘one-stop-shop’ event will be modern jive lessons by Colin Gausden and Natalie Davis and a special appearance by television personality Eric Knowles of Antiques Roadshow.

Eric will be on hand to dispense free valuations on collectables and household items, so make sure to have a good look around the attic for dusty heirlooms before the event!

The organisers state: “The show has been brilliantly supported by businesses and bodies all along the coast, as well as a huge number of expats and indigenous residents since 2006. With clear signs of economic recovery over the last nine months, numerous companies have asked us to mount the show again this November.

The response has been both gratifying and astonishing.”

At the last event, held in 2011, more than 6,500 people turned up to check out the exhibitions and stalls showcasing everything of interest to the over 50s, and a similar if not larger number is expected again this year.

Fibre optics for Fuengirola FUENGIROLA is currently optimising its data transmission service by installing a network of new fibreoptic cables.

Fibre-optic systems allow data to be transmitted over longer distances and at higher bandwidths than traditional wire cables.

Although the council is not directly involved in the project, it represents

an important technological innovation for Fuengirola, said Urban Planning Councillor Ana Mula at a press conference.

The fibre-optic cables have already been installed on Calle Francisco Rivera Paquirri, Santa Fe, Santa Gema, Avenida de las Salinas, Calle Heroes de Baler, Avenida de Santa Amalia, Jabega, Burgos,

Avenida de Miramar, Camilo Jose Cela, Avenida de Mijas and Camino de Coin.

At the helm of the ambitious enterprise is a company called Magtel, though Telefonica SA – a Spanish telecommunications and broadband provider with operations around the world – is expected to install new fibre-optic systems starting next year.

The facts about Ebola

With the huge outbreak of Ebola in West Africa having reached Spain some people are panicking because they want to know more about this deadly disease, so here are the facts on Ebola.

Caught with lots of cash POLICE have detained two Colombian nationals carrying thousands of euros in cash.

Municipal Police officers placed two Colombian nationals under arrest after they were caught red-handed carrying €45,000 in cash, an undisclosed amount of casino tokens and a metal bar of what may turn out to be gold.

The arrest took place when the officers on patrol in Madrid pulled over a car because it lacked the mandatory ITV sticker on the windscreen.

After asking the occupants to produce their identity documents, the Colombians said they did not have them because they were foreigners.

The police became highly suspicious because the men got nervous, which prompted them to search the vehicle, finding a large amount of €50 and €500 bills as well as tokens from a Madrid casino and a gold-coloured bar.

Ebola is transferred through contact with blood or bodily fluids.

What are the symptoms?

Ebola frequently begins between two and 21 days after contact with any of the following symptoms: a high fever, intense weakness, headaches, muscle pain and a sore throat. Followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, a rash, kidney and liver problems and bleeding.

In some patients the dying

moments can be very painful, as the disease attacks connective tissue in the skin and internal organs, leading to massive internal and external bleeding.

How is it transferred?

Ebola is transferred through contact with the blood or bodily fluids of the infected person. It is similar to HIV in the fact that it is not an airborne disease. It

not undergone clinical trials to check its safety and efficiency.

How dangerous is it?

It is classified as a Level 4 biohazard, regarded as the most dangerous and requiring decontamination for those who work with or come into contact with it.

Myth not fact Contrary to popular belief, it is not a flesh-eating disease like MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

The disease can be contracted by eating undercooked meat: this is not true. It can only be contracted by bodily fluids and eating meat that is contaminated.

Ebola victims rise from the dead like zombies. Again fiction not fact; this is all internet and social media hoaxing tricks.

This contagious disease, like any of its nature can lead to panic, fear and violence.

Misinformation and lack of the correct facts can be more dangerous than the Ebola virus itself.

Mass murdering acid killer gets 127-year jail sentence A NURSING home security guard has been jailed for more than 127 years for the murder of 11 elderly men and women.

The Supreme Court upheld a 127-and-a-half-year prison sentence for the security guard of a nursing home in Olot, Girona, convicted of murdering

11 residents of the home between 2009 and 2010, using caustic acid, psychotropic drugs and other substances.

The court dismissed the appeal lodged by the defendant, Joan Vila, in which he maintained there was not enough proof that the deaths of eight of the 11 men

and women had been brought about by high doses of the substances.

What is Ebola?

Ebola is a virulent virus that is notorious for its low survival rate. The virus usually develops into a full-blown disease called ebola haemorrhagic fever (ebola HF) or ebola viral disease (EVD).

Where does it come from?

The disease was first recognised in a part of Africa called Zaire in 1976, now renamed the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Monkeys and apes are known to have the virus but the biggest host of ebola is the fruit bat.

The huge leap from animal to human disease is thought to have come from the common custom in Africa of eating bush meat.

is, however, extremely contagious and can also be caught from infected animals, or during burials when people sometimes come into contact with the deceased.

Survivors of the disease are still infected and it has been known that it is possible to pass on the disease by sexual intercourse.

Is it always fatal?

The fatality rate on average is 50 per cent but the rates can vary from 25-90 per cent when the disease has reached its pronounced stage. Survival rate is low and there is still no knowledge as to why some people die and others survive.

Since the last outbreak began, 70 per cent of infected people have died.

How can it be prevented or treated?

There is no vaccine for Ebola.

The only medicine is a drug called ZMapp and intensive treatment for fluid loss.

ZMapp, however, is still in experimental stages and has

Spanish personal income tax, known as IRPF, which could lead

to increases in taxes levied on property sales.

The ombudswoman asked if there were plans to adopt an amendment to the reform, which would alleviate its effects in the case of people – retirees and unemployed people, for instance – who are forced to sell their homes due to a difficult economic situation.

Court, the defendant’s lawyer conceded during the hearings that his client was the perpetrator, but requested that the sentence be suspended on the grounds of a mental disorder.

After being sentenced, the man admitted to three of the murders, but appealed against the other eight for violations of the presumption of innocence, claiming his confession was not enough to prove the crime.

Nevertheless, the Supreme Court concluded that the arguments put forward by Vila were contradictory and incoherent, since he confessed to giving the victims the toxic substances, but then maintained they could have died for reasons he had nothing to do with.

He is likely to serve 40 years of the sentence and has also been ordered to pay the victims’ families €369,000.

Spain to send troops to Iraq to take part in a training mission SPAIN is to send troops to Iraq on a training mission.

The Spanish Government decided on Friday (October 10) to send approximately 300 troops to Iraq on a seven- or eightweek training mission, as part of their

support to the US-led international coalition against jihadist extremism.

The announcement was made by Defence Minister Pedro Morenes after a meeting of the Cabinet. The decision is now to be submitted to Parliament for approval.

16.8 million in Spain breathe polluted air NEARLY 16.8 million people in Spain breathe air which has pollution levels exceeding the legal limits established by the European Union.

This represents roughly 36 per cent of the population.

However, the percentage could be even higher – 95 per cent – if World Health Organisation standards are taken into consideration, warned

Ecologistas en Accion, a confederation of more than 300 Spanish ecological groups, in its annual air quality report, which looked at data from 2013.

According to international health authorities, the number of premature deaths in Spain total 20,000 a year as a result of complications resulting from air pollution, said a report co-ordinator.

The Spanish Government could also expand the capacity of Spanish airbases to support the needs of the United States Central Command, a decision arising from an agreement signed between Spain and the United States and that does not require

the approval of Parliament.

The troops are to train the Iraqi military on how to handle and deactivate explosive devices as well as on special operations.

Out of the 300 troops to be sent, 69 will provide security, 60 will act as trainers in three different teams, 10 will be part of the military’s command, while the rest will support training and security tasks.

Minister Morenes said, however, that the size of the Spanish contingent could vary and that he is to meet his American counterpart in Tampa, Florida, next week to specify what Spain’s contribution will be.

“The efforts (being made) in Iraq are not only aimed at stopping the advance of the Islamic state, but also at providing Iraq with a state structure and guaranteeing the security of its citizens,” said the minister. The Spanish mission in Iraq is to exclude direct combat, he remarked.

Efforts praised THOUGH Spain is not out of the woods yet as far as the economic crisis is concerned, the International Monetary Fund has congratulated the country for the reforms it carried out.

“Spain is the only country in the Eurozone whose growth prognosis we have revised up. It is a country where the reforms, the effort and the sacrifices made by the people are bearing fruit,” said Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Christine Lagarde talking to the Spanish media at the 2014 Annual IMF Meeting in Washington DC. However, Spain still faces risks, not just because of its high unemployment levels, but because there is a 35 to 40 per cent chance of the Euro area going

into another recession.

“The next sign we want to see is unemployment going down,” said Lagarde. “And salaries going up?” asked a journalist, to which she replied: “That would also be great.” However, she did not specify if the IMF thinks salaries should be increased after years of cutbacks to strengthen consumption and recovery, an opinion defended by the International Labour Organisation and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

While Spain has started to create employment, substituting the 3.5 million jobs lost will not happen overnight and both the Spanish Government and the IMF estimate that unemployment levels in 2015 will be above 23 per cent.

Some notes on lawyers’ fees THE recent enactment of legislative reforms that requires claimants to pay court filing fees when ‘making use of the public service of the administration of justice’ has forced lawyers, already under severe stress due to the still struggling economy, to downsize their fee aspirations. In fact, even to the point of having to waive the retainer to allow a case - or an appeal - to go forward, on a no-win nopay basis.

But what happens when one loses a case? And if no agreement was struck with the lawyer? These notes should help understand the legal fees’ system: a) The Spanish Solicitors’ Code of Practice establishes an absolute

freedom to fix legal fees, pursuant to a Supreme Court ruling that nullified the statutory prohibition of conditional fees. b) Where no agreement is struck clients needs to be aware that by default, they will fall under the legal fee guidelines approved by the provincial Bar Association, and these can be pretty hefty (a case worth €300k will attract €25k in fees, only in the first instance). c) Equally, where a case is lost and the court awards

costs i.e. pay the other party’s legal fees, they too will be calculated by reference to the respective Bar Association, in any case. d) If scenarios b) and c) happen to coincide, an unsuspecting claimant could find that a case relating to a property worth say €300k could actually cost him €50k! e) On property conveyancing, 1% of the purchase price is still pretty standard, in spite of the crisis; the reason for this is perhaps to do with the hefty quantum of a potential claim i.e. up to the value of the property and, notably, the very lengthy mandatory 15-year liability term to validly bringing a claim against a conveyancing lawyer.

The above conclusions make it very advisable prior to filing a case, and even responding to a claim filed against one, to request from the acting lawyer an appraisal of the likely legal costs should the case be lost as, very often, these are ignored ab initio. And naturally, have one’s own fees agreed and ratified by signing a letter of engagement or letter of instruction.

14 charged for Madrid Arena Halloween tragedy THE Public Prosecutor’s Office in Madrid has formally charged 14 people in connection with the Madrid Arena tragedy.

As many as 12 of them, including the event promoter Miguel Angel Flores, face five charges of negligent homicide and 16 charges of negligent bodily harm.

The Public Prosecutor is asking for a four-year prison sentence for Flores for the deaths of five young people aged between 17 and 21. The accusation is based on Article 77 of the Penal Code. “Moved by greed,

with an absolute disregard for the most basic norms, which he should have observed, he sold at least 22,800 tickets, with the risk that entailed, knowing that the authorised limit was 10,620 people,” said the Public Prosecutor.

The tragedy dates back to November 2012, when a Halloween party held in the Madrid Arena venue turned into a nightmare for many. The large number of people attending the celebration created several bottlenecks at the exit, which resulted in people being crushed, including

the five girls who died.

Three of the victims, identified as Katia Esteban Casielles, Rocio Oña Pineda and Cristina Arce de la Fuente, died on the night of the tragedy, while Belen Langdon del Real and Maria Teresa Alonso died in hospital days later.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office also requested that threeyear sentences be handed down to 11 defendants, including the people in charge of opening the gates through which the thousands of party attendees entered the Arena.

City inundated with job applicants MORE than 4,300 people have applied for 814 posts offering a three month contract in Malaga to carry out improvement work in the city’s districts.

Work needing to be done includes cleaning urban fittings, pedestrian

crossings, removal of vegetation from streams and empty plots, and garden maintenance. The contracts are for three hours per day with a net income of €600 per month and are included in the regional government’s extra

employment programme.

Citizens’ Advice office workers complain that no extra members of staff have been provided in preparation for these applications, causing up to twohour waits with one or two office

workers attending up to 750 applicants per day. The delays have provoked conflicts requiring a police presence a number of times.

Economy Councillor Maria del Mar Martin Rojo mentioned the extra work this process had caused but said she would prefer to concentrate on the positive side, the fact that 814 people will have work, at least for three months. She also asked the Andalucian rooms, now only has for government to invest in three in attendance.

in public clinics and a 54.43 per cent reduction in private clinics.

Midwives meanwhile complain that due to cutbacks there is less staff available, for

Power company looks to the US IBERDROLA plans to buy foreign assets in order to boost profits.

Europe’s economic crisis, Spain’s energy reforms and cuts in renewables all affected earnings and reduced Iberdrola’s profits by €1.39 billion since 2011.

The Spanish multinational has now hired JP Morgan Chase & Co to sell mature wind farms and solar plants to raise up to €2 billion for US acquisitions,

Credit card reckoning…

SPAIN’S tax authority denied knowledge of ‘opaque’ credit cards used

by Caja Madrid and Bankia executives.

After the credit card spending came to light, Pablo Abejas, former director general for Economic Affairs in Madrid’s regional government, came clean. While at Caja Madrid he used his card for €246,700 of personal spending, he admitted.

He and 85 others at the bank, which later became Bankia, ran up an untaxed €15.5 million between 2003 and 2012.

The cards were a source of untaxed income and both Hacienda and the Bank of Spain were aware of the situation, Abejas

maintained.

Beneficiaries of the cards included Rodrigo Rato, a former Cabinet minister who headed IMF between 2004 and 2007. He became Bankia president in 2010, remaining until 2012 when the bank needed Spain’s biggest-ever bailout of €19 billion of taxpayers’ money.

Rato has repaid all he spent but many fellow executives insisted they were assured everything was above board.

Following Abejas’s revelations, there were a rash of Bankia resignations and Hacienda announced an investigation into credit card use at every company quoted on the Ibex 35 which lists Spain’s 35 leading stocks.

fine Uber drivers. The service reached Madrid some weeks ago and Uber predictably failed to present an administrative licence within the time limit stipulated by autonomous government.

A household pet that can cough up much more than just a fur ball Loose change A look at finance for females

Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

T

YPE ‘cute’ or ‘adorable’ into Google and see what appears; a barrage of delightful images depicting little kittens and puppies looking ever so endearing.

No matter what you think about our furry little friends, who tend to shred sofas and poo on public streets, these little creatures have the potential to pull in the big bucks. They seem to melt the heart of even the toughest of folk.

Just the other day I

GRUMPY CAT: The permanent frown has become an internet sensation.

happened to pass by a new funeral home close to my neighbourhood. I was initially taken aback by how small the coffin in the window was and thought it was in pretty bad taste to display a child’s casket in such a public way.

But it wasn’t small because it was for a child it was for an animal. Pet owners nowadays are so devoted to their pets that they apparently fork out a lot of money to bury them too!

Oversized kitten eyes and chunky puppy paws are attributes that have massive earning potential.

And pet owners like you and me can climb aboard the gravy train as more and more companies, apart from Andrex loo roll, are now capitalising on the emotional value of animals.

It does seem to help, however, if the animal is exceptional in some way.

Take Grumpy Cat. This cranky-looking pet suffers from feline dwarfism - a

condition that gives her a permanent frown - and people around the world have gone mad over her.

So much so that she is now an internet sensation and has made her owners a lot of money by lending her face to branding as well as her own book deal.

Animals are so much indemand nowadays for marketing and much more, that pet modelling agencies and pet agents actually exist.

The old saying may go, “It’s a dog’s life.”

More than suggesting that pets are the snoozy freeloaders in the family.

But if a pet has some quirky or cute potential, remember that, that very same slacker may also have the power to pull their weight and even have a higher earning potential than its owner.

OPINION & COMMENT

Dare to speak out to ensure justice is done RECENTLY we were asked to assist a neighbour to take his animal to the vet as it had been attacked by a local youth and his German shepherd.

The youth had beaten and kicked the little three or four kilo dog and encouraged his own dog to attack it for no apparent reason.

Our 80-year-old neighbour begged the youth to stop but was answered with verbal abuse. Following the visit to the vet the little dog died from his injuries.

The reason for this letter is to encourage people to report abuse to animals or other human beings and not be afraid to do so. Those responsible for terrible acts of violence and cruelty need to be brought to justice and pressure needs to be applied to the authorities to ensure justice is done.

The vet, Juan Manuel Taboada of Veravet in Vera, who gave his time freely and assisted the elderly neighbour to denounce the youth, deserves our support for his actions.

His main concern is to stamp out cruelty by raising public awareness and he is passionate about this cause. The elderly man could not have achieved this ‘denuncia’ without the support of the vet.

Please be proactive if you witness acts of cruelty. Don’t turn away: denounce and help to stop this evil!

Sheila Anderson, Cuevas del Almanzora (Almeria)

Pooling ideas I SPEND about five months of the year in Spain. We live in a community and there are three pools.

The issue of enclosure has been going back and forth for ages and a Euro Weekly News article about pool safety mentions that it is Spanish law to enclose community pools.

The fact is that very few are.

And before you say we are breaking the law, I have it on authority that we are not.

have a significant impact on them.

Mr Wood says that “pampered western cultures have to cut back on quality of life.” That, in my humble opinion, is a very general outlook which indicates he has no idea that there are many UK pensioners living on or below the poverty level who deserve as much assistance as those he would seek to help elsewhere in the world.

Numerous UK pensioners who will die alone, cold and hungry this winter won’t be able to follow Mr Wood’s edict: “We shall have to tighten our belts for a long time yet.”

I'm not blind to the suffering elsewhere in the world but the UK donates a fair bit in foreign aid and, at the end of the day, charity should begin at home.

Grateful thanks BY and large, in my view, published letters seem mainly to be an area for protests or grievances.

I will break with tradition by sharing with you my hospital experience, not to complain but to praise. To give an indication of this, I list the following events in order to give you an idea of the frequency of my visits.

I first attended the Dermatology Clinic in Las Lagunas in February followed by three visits to Marbella Hospital in March, five in April, three in May and one in June.

biopsies of varying degrees, followed by treatment. In addition I also used to have a forehead that looked like a red traffic light, which is now clear, again after treatment.

Incidentally, I was informed that these occurred during my youth when I was eager to acquire a tan. I am now 83 years old, so beware! It can catch up on you!

As a matter of interest, these problems originated in the UK but were not dealt with.

However, during all of these operations and treatments, which were carried out by the Dermatology Department, I

Help for all YOUR correspondent Dave Wood of Estepona and Maldon (Issue 1527) made me smile.

Oh, I realise he’s entitled to his opinion and I respect that. But goodness me, to describe the statement “pensioners deserve better” as “foolish economics and populist nonsense” suggests that he is out of touch with reality.

He tells us what we all need to do to improve life for those elsewhere in the world but there are many less fortunate than he who do not enjoy a particularly good quality of life. Axing the Winter Fuel Allowance would

LUCKY Dave Wood, he can obviously afford to keep a foot in both Spain and Britain and travel accordingly.

However, quite why the best part of a column was devoted to his bar-room, anti-pensioner economic theories is a bit beyond me. Is anyone actually interested in what he thinks?

Brian Nicholls, Moraira, Alicante

Volume lowered WE are used to testy Brits who grumble at the slightest whisper that disturbs their sepulchral peace, but I see that the Spanish are taking lessons from them.

I was gobsmacked by Deirdre Baxter’s letter praising the fine slapped on Parcheesi players who incensed their neighbours in central Malaga by playing until 2am.

Needless to say, I was not remotely surprised by Deirdre Baxter’s reaction which is what I’d expect from a certain type of fellow-Brit.

This was once proudly proclaimed the noisiest country in the world after Japan. Anyone who lives in Spain knows you must take the rough with the smooth and the peace with the racket.

Unbelievable barbarity of ISIS killers RENA SCHILD / SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

O

VER the years I thought I had become hardened to images of atrocities and man’s inhumanity to man.

Not so. The email I received this week contained subject matter that turned my stomach, almost to the point of heaving up lunch. The photos depicted the sub-human members of the so-called ISIS carrying out unbelievable acts on the victims of their evil war on humanity.

Please don’t refer to these people as animals. No member of the animal kingdom would commit such barbarous acts on one of its own kind. If you can’t abide jottings, descriptive of bloodthirsty cruelty, turn away now.

The email pics depicted rows of severed heads on railings,

People here are crazy drivers when it rains but drivers in Granada are the worst I have ever seen. They are horrible and so dangerous.”

These people, (and I use the term with great reluctance) really must be stopped, by whatever means lie at the civilised world’s disposal.

annihilation is completely unacceptable.

If we have to put boots on the ground, so be it. If we allow this bunch of Satanists to continue, we are complicit in throwing humanity back to the Dark Ages. Notwithstanding any disillusioned individual that goes to join their ranks, thereby condoning their actions.

Anyone who returns to their country after taking part in this despicable conflict, deserve nothing more than heavy incarceration for the rest of their natural lives, and certainly no access to ‘human rights’ for the duration of their miserable existence. Any member of their families or friends seen to protect or assist them should suffer the same fate.

There is NO excuse for this barbarism. It is just about as far from religion as you can possibly get. Believe me, when the Muslim leaders, including those with extreme views,

come out in condemnation of this outrageous bunch of barbarians, you can be assured that they really are an unprecedented force of evil that must be stopped - no matter what the cost.

Those who have managed to peruse this blurb will remember that over two years ago I wrote that our esteemed party leaders should beware of the rise of UKIP in the political portals of power. Oh, how the ole boy was scoffed at and ridiculed for this ‘ludicrous’ opinion. What say you now, oh ye of little ‘Leaper’ faith?

Time to be seen to be actually doing something, Dave, or in less than a year you could be sticking your head between yer legs and not only whistling your goodbyes to Number 10, but allowing the worst Labour party leader in history to be calling the tune.

What drives you mad on the road?

One thing many people complain about in Spain is the state of driving.

From lack of signalling to parking wherever they feel like it, Spanish drivers seem to have a more relaxed attitude to the rules of the road. We asked people what their pet peeve was.

For Aleksander Bjargo, roundabouts are the worst: “They don’t really know how to use Granada tops Inge’s list for worst drivers

them and that annoys me a bit,” he said.

Liz Ross of Traiblazers has a different complaint. She said: “My peeve is the tourists in the hire cars who drive at 10 kilometres an hour, then stop in the middle of the road to take photos of the goatherder and his goats! All I want to do is get to work on time!”

And Barry Satterthwaite of SRS Vehicle Services, Los Carasoles in Zurgena, said: “The worst thing for me is people indicating. Either they don’t indicate at all and just stop somewhere or leave it too late and just manoeuvre. How can you know what someone is going to do if they don’t indicate their intentions? Then you

Changes to UK pensions are on the way from next April

By Mark Davies – The Fry Group THERE are significant changes to UK pensions being implemented from April 2015. These follow positive changes already implemented this year, including the ability to take small pension pots as cash, up from £18,000 to £30,000. Also a 25 per cent increase in income from drawdown personal pensions (and QROPS), to counteract historically low annuity rates.

The key headline grabber from April is the ability to withdraw as much of your pension pot without restriction as you wish. The income is taxable in the UK; however, residents of Spain may avoid this tax, but do need to declare personal pension income here. Changes to annuities have also been announced, with decreasing annuities and an extension of the guaranteed

SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE: New pension rules are complex. annuity period beyond 10 years; both are positive measures allowing greater planning.

Further complementary changes have just been announced removing the current 55 per cent death tax for nondependants on drawdown pensions in payment and for those over 75.

A post-75 death benefit tax remains at a reduced rate of 45 per cent. However, non-UK residents can consider the benefits of an offshore pension (QROPS), where benefits potentially pass tax-free to nondependants.

We are still awaiting more detail in terms of the operational

elements of how the new rules will work in practice and these are expected to be announced in the government’s autumn statement on December 3, so watch this space.

The Labour party has already voiced concerns at the measures meaning there could be more restrictive rules implemented

post-election. Irrespective of the election outcome the changes are coming (even if potentially for a short period) and individuals are well advised to review their options to ensure opportunities are not missed, which could have significant implications for pensions in payment and/or future pension expectations.

Because of the complexities, it is recommenced that professional advice be sought from a UK qualified company who can offer advice to UK standards of regulation and disclosure. The Fry Group are a UK Chartered Financial Planning company providing UK pension and investment advice to expatriates living in Spain.

New legal warning on heirship rules for British owners of Spanish property

Take action now to ensure your overseas property goes to your loved ones, says Stone King’s Dan Harris

F

OR decades Brits abroad have been immune to Spanish forced heirship rules that determine who gets someone’s property when they pass away.

That’s because Spain has allowed the law of a person’s nationality to govern the devolution of their property. But this is all set to change in 2015 when attempts to simplify succession law across Europe come into effect.

From August 17 next year a person’s ‘habitual residence’ and not their nationality will determine who gets what when they die. The impact on affected families who don’t take

the appropriate action could be devastating.

The changes will mean that the devolution of the property of foreigners (including Brits) living in Spain will be subject to that country’s domestic law, not British law.

In most civil law jurisdictions like Spain an individual’s property is subject to forcedheirship provisions. This means that the legal system of the state where the property is situated decides who receives your property when you die.

Put simply, your will is likely to be (at least partly) ineffective if it conflicts with forced-

DAN HARRIS: Contact him for advice.

heirship rules.

Instead your children, including estranged children and children from previous relationships, could inherit your property on your death ahead of your spouse,

regardless of your wishes.

The good news is that the new regulation contains provisions that have the potential to protect British owners of Spanish property.

After August 17, any British national who has property in Spain - and who has taken appropriate action before their death - can avoid the default position of the law of their habitual residence governing the devolution of their estate by instead making a formal election for the law of their nationality to apply.

The ‘appropriate action’ is to make a nomination in a will which is valid in the state where the property is situated, stating which law will apply to your property.

As Spain has adopted the provisions of the 1961 Hague Convention

on testamentary dispositions, your English will is as valid in Spain as a Spanish will, and arguably, as English law is being applied, an English will may be more appropriate.

The nomination can and should be done now to avoid problems should you lose the mental capacity to make a new will before August 17 or forget to do so.

That way you can ensure that your overseas property passes to your loved ones.

For more advice on this complex area of international law please contact Dan Harris on + 44 (0) 1225 326761.

What would be on your bucket list?

A

RECENT questionnaire asked 2,000 adults aged 18 to 65 what things needed to be done ‘before you die.’

The 50 top answers ranged from ‘Visit at least 25 different countries,’ ‘Find true love,’ ‘Have a one-night stand’ (both, presumably, not at the same time!) to ‘Try an adrenalinepacked activity such as sky-diving.’

One instruction, though (‘Spend time with children, even if they aren’t yours’) could have completely unforeseen results. Think Operation Yewtree! Like leading you to doing time, and/or getting placed on a register - if the children aren’t yours (and maybe even if they are!). Facetious though it sounds, it’s nonetheless true that you mustn’t enjoy children’s company nowadays. What a sad reflection of our times…

Another response urges us to: ‘Treat each day like it’s your last.’ Does this mean you spend the latter part of each day lying

SKY-DIVING: Would you try this adrenaline packed activity?

motionless on a bed? An alternative way of treating each day like your last would be, of course, never going to work. Or undertaking any of the recommendations. And splashing all your cash on one final shopping trip.

But what a daft, contradictory list! If you did some things (those related to reckless spending, for example), you couldn’t do others (leave bequests to your family).

Basically, all it amounts to is a recipe for selfish, anti-social, hedonistic/narcissistic behaviour.

I’d hate to know someone who’s done everything on the list. (‘Stop worrying about money’; ‘Use money on experiences rather than saving for a rainy day’; ‘Have an allnight drinking session’; ‘Date someone exciting but completely wrong for you,’ ‘Snog a stranger’ and so on.) I don’t think that’s what a fulfilling life’s all about, do you?

In fact, we all know some well-off, pleasure-seeking types - and they’re invariably the self-centred pub bores. They often have difficulty controlling their weight, too. One of the drawbacks of the ‘me, me, me’ approach to life - and no doubt why the

‘Lose a stone’ instruction was also included.

What happened to moderation, thoughtfulness and, umm, common sense?

Well, if you’ve counted them all up and there’s nothing left to do on the list, you must have been having a whale of a time!

So what now? Start another ‘bucket list’…

Neater Heater has your winter solution...

OK, so the Costa del Sol is not Winterfell, and we probably won’t be invaded by White Walkers and Wildlings this Christmas, but the fact remains: winter is coming, and the time to prepare for it is now. And to take the Game of Thrones theme one stage further: “Who can you trust?”

Well, at Neater Heater, they know the answer: we can all trust the Norwegians.

The company was established five years ago by Richard and Tony, when they discovered Neater Heaters during their hunt for good, economical electric heaters for their own homes. Between them, they had tried various types of electric heaters and found none of them to have that magic balance of being efficient, economical to run, and affordable. Until, that is, they accidentally came across a Norwegian Heater in the house of a friend with contacts in Norway.

Five years later, Neater Heaters are efficiently warming hundreds of homes throughout Spain. Unlike most of the ‘competition’, which tend to be ugly and intrusive, Neater Heaters benefit from

Scandinavian design and are sleek, stylish and elegant. They also benefit from Scandinavian engineering and are efficient, economic and effective, and in these days of soaring fuel costs, that is a very significant factor.

Originally, Neater Heaters only stocked the Beha range of convector

heaters, which could only be purchased by their network of outlets on the Costas. However, customers can now not only choose from the Beha and recently acquired Adax ranges of standard Norwegian convector heaters, but they also stock the ultra-stylish Neo range with digital controls and integral

timing controls.

Neater Heaters can be viewed at any of the outlets listed in this article. In some areas you may be able to have a home consultation from one of their installation agents. If neither of these options is appropriate, then you can investigate, choose, and pay for your Neater Heater online on the new, improved website. If they have the heater you choose in stock it can be delivered by courier within 48 hours, at no extra cost, throughout Spain.

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

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Your workaday, family and financial trends offer little respite from ironing out a variety of comings and goings. This is partly because not everyone is being cooperative, but it would be a big mistake to rock any boats close to you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) If you're single, get out and about, and if you're job hunting or working towards a particular result, stay on course. This is definitely a phase to follow your instincts.

With the spotlight on your social, home and self-motivated activities, you could be in for some unexpected surprises.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your ambitious streak will be in full flow. Stay glued to what you do best, and it will be much easier to get others on your side. The new Moon in Capricorn will heighten your chances of making the right contacts or receiving some useful advice. If you're tempted to buy homerelated items or useful gadgets, budget with care.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) During at least one part of your week the glamorous Sun comes out to shine, and together with the new Moon in realistic Capricorn, sweeps across your working, home and social life. Go-getters will definitely benefit from whatever moves are afoot.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Trust your instincts about those who chop and change. Chill out on Tuesday, and start planning next year's ideas - with the Sun making friendly aspects with determined Saturn, you should be concentrating on promoting all you have to offer.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Be ready for a refreshing cycle of possibilities, as the Sun is in charge of your short and long-term aspirations. Regardless of what is happening in the background, or whatever thankless tasks niggle you on Wednesday and Friday, your efforts will reward you at work, or wherever you need to improve your situation. Meanwhile, watch your diet.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Both kind-hearted Venus and butterfly Mercury flutter with luck. This week's planetary soundbites suggest that you widen your social circle and conquer new horizons. Also, the lively Sun is ready to dawn on a positive outlook for any long-term changes. Forget the hassles, and dig deep. Take Thursday and the weekend in your stride.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Even if you've been feeling out of sorts or confused about a certain person or your future, it won't be long before you get a clearer picture. All things change eventually, so don't apply any unnecessary pressure to yourself or others. You'll be surprised at how much better you feel, especially if you're expecting a gleam of hope.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) You, of all the signs, best know the value of taking each day as it happens. It's the old story of making time to catch up with life's little routines. Spread your efforts, and you'll reach your goals much faster. The tempo is picking up, and what you encounter will confirm that you're getting somewhere.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) If you cannot avoid conflicting opinions or certain odds and ends, accept them and show just how tactful you can be. You might not hold a winning hand, but at one point you'll be able to teach as well as learn. In your head-to-head discussions, leave things as they are until the signs are right.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Considering some of the things that are about to happen, you'll be wise to follow your feelings. Your ability to analyse and understand other people is one of your supreme assets. The links between your job, personal and family lives suggest that you need to be a jot more flexible.

TOP 10 INCREDIBLE LANDMARKS Our planet is full of incredible natural wonders and architecture, each representing its own culture, belief and national identity. The following list includes incredible landmarks from around the world that are worth visiting at least once.

1. Taj Mahal, India No doubt a symbol of India, this iconic cultural and architectural landmark is a monument of love and one of the wonders of the world. Built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife Mumtaz Mahal and located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, this white marble mausoleum was constructed over a period of 22 years with a workforce of 22,000 workers.

2. The Parthenon, Athens, Greece The Parthenon is a major symbol of the Ancient Greek World and has towered over the capital of Greece for the last 2,500 years. Construction is believed to have started in 447 BC and completed in 438 BC. The Parthenon is dedicated to the goddess Athena and was once referred to as the Temple of Minerva, which is the Roman name for Athena.

3. Eiffel Tower, Paris, France Erected in 1889 and standing at 324 metres tall, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris and the single most visited paid monument in the world.

Though most Parisians would probably find it hard to imagine their city without this iconic monument, the Eiffel Tower once attracted criticism from people who objected to its construction on artistic grounds.

4. Statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil This truly incredible monument weighs 635 tons and towers at 38 metres tall and 30 metres wide. Built between 1922 and 1931 and created by French sculptor Paul Landowski, the statue has become a symbol of Brazilian Christianity and is located at the

A personal odyssey BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com

WRITTEN by Irish football manager Roy Keane in collaboration with Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle, The Second Half is a not-to-be-missed autobiography that follows the 18year football career of Roy Keane as he ruled the midfield like no other, playing for Cobh Ramblers, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and Celtic. Keane is

part of a tiny elite of football players and has had a life most people can only dream about. However, what sort of challenges does a football star face beyond the pitch?

How did he manage to reinvent himself as a manager and then as a broadcaster?

How did he cope with the psychological struggles such a life-altering decision entails?

The Second Half is a

remarkable personal odyssey told in Roy’s unique voice.

6. The Pyramid of Khufu, Giza, Egypt The oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu between 2560 and 2540 BC, according to Egyptologists. It was the world’s tallest man-made structure for more than 3,800 years until it was surpassed by the spire of Lincoln Cathedral in England (160 metres) in the 14th century.

8. Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia These magnificent 88-floor skyscrapers are an iconic symbol of Kuala Lumpur’s spirit and identity.

They are joined in the middle by a skybridge that is 170,078 metres above the ground. Construction started in 1994 and completed two years later. At 452 metres, they were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 until 2004.

9. The Great Wall of China, China Measuring approximately 21,196 kilometres, the Great Wall of China is the longest man-made project ever made. According to a popular myth, it is the only human-built structure that can be seen from space with the naked eye, a fact that was disputed by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. It runs from Shanhaiguan in Hebei Province in the east to Jiayuguan in Gansu Province in the west.

5. Stonehenge, Wiltshire, UK Though the exact purpose of this 5,000-year-old rock ring sitting in a World Heritage Site remains disputed, archaeologists believe Stonehenge could have once been a burial ground. Located in Wiltshire, England, it is said to have been built sometime between 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The stones were roped off in 1977 when serious erosion became apparent.

7. The Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA This breathtaking steep-sided canyon is managed by the eponymous national park and the Hualapai Tribal Nation, a tribe of Native Americans. Caved by the Colorado River, it can be explored by foot, jeep, helicopter and bus. It is 446 kilometres long and up to 29 kilometres wide. Spanish conquistador Garcia Lopez de Cardenas is believed to have been the first European to have viewed it in the 16th century.

10. Colosseum, Rome, Italy Considered to be one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering, the Colosseum is located east of the Roman forum and its construction began under Emperor Vespasian in 70 AD. It is believed it could hold anywhere between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators. Mostly used for public spectacles such as re-enactments of famous battles and gladiatorial contests, it later served as a Christian shrine and as quarters for a religious order. It is now a major tourist attraction of the Italian capital.

A BEHAVIOUR problem is really any behaviour shown by a dog that people find a problem!

People vary in how much they tolerate different behaviours in their dogs, so what some people regard as a ‘problem’, others can be quite happy to live with.

This means that behaviour problems can range from things like dogs jumping up to greet their owners as they return, to extreme forms of aggression, or behaviours that appear ‘hallucinatory’ such as snapping at flies that are not there. The term ‘behaviour problems’, therefore, covers a wide range of issues from situations where dogs have not been trained how to behave in response to particular events, to behaviours which are linked to medical problems.

As a general rule, if your dog shows obedience training

Dealing with behavioural problems problems like pulling on the lead or failing to come when called, then you should look for a reputable trainer to help you.

However, if your dog shows behaviours such as aggression, withdrawal from or avoidance of particular sounds or events, excessive vocalisation or destruction when left alone, then you should seek help from your vet, who will be able to refer you to somebody who specialises in clinical behaviour.

A qualified

behaviourist will be able to develop a tailored treatment programme to resolve both the behaviour and any underlying emotional distress.

Why do I need to see a vet first?

Behavioural changes can be an indication of a medical problem. There are a range of different conditions that can first present as an apparent ‘behaviour problems’ but which are in fact signs of disease. For example, neurological problems in the brain or spinal cord, hormonal disorders, inflammation of the bladder, or reduced functioning of the liver can all first become apparent as behavioural changes.

Medical conditions can only be diagnosed by a vet.

Tomorrow morning’s first job is to plant up half a dozen infill shrubs. In each case some TerraCottem will be worked into the soil at the bottom of the planting holes to ensure a continuity of moisture during the first couple of years. After what I said earlier, each planting hole will be filled twice with water, which will be allowed to soak away into the surrounding soil and the planted area will be well soaked after planting.

Unfortunately, as the hillsides green up it is very evident that many pine trees have died in recent months.

Apparently this is due to attacks from Caleóptera tomicus destruens, a small flying insects that attacks via

the leaves, on trees under stress from low water tables. Where the insect appeared from I don’t know. If you have small trees a spray with a neem oil-water solution may help prevent an attack.

Purchasing our books We have just been notified that Santana Books, the publisher of our books: Your garden in Spain; Growing healthy fruit in Spain; Growing healthy vegetables in Spain; and Apartment Gardening are going out of business at the end of the year due to the competition from internet information for some of their titles.

No more tears…osteopathy may help FOR most parents a new baby in the family is a joyful time, but for the one in five couples whose baby suffers from colic, it can be a nightmare.

Colic is the name given to attacks of muscular spasm in a baby’s developing digestive system. In serious cases these attacks can last all night and at worst all day too.

There are many theories as to why babies get colic. Often it is because the baby is swallowing too much air and being over-full. Good feeding technique is important and symptoms can be avoided by regular winding, good posture during feeding, etc. Breast feeding reduces the chance of colic but sometimes a mother’s fondness of spicy food can be a factor.

However, if changing diet and feeding technique makes no difference then what else can be done?

Improbable as it sounds, an osteopath can often help with this type of problem.

Osteopaths treat all sorts of muscle

NEW BABY: This happy time can be marred by colic. spasms and colic is, after all, a type of muscle spasm. Osteopathic treatments have developed for many infantile conditions such as colic, constipation, disturbed sleep and torticollis. In many

cases it can be shown that these problems relate to difficult births. In the final three months of pregnancy osteopathic treatment can loosen up the lower back and pelvis to prepare the

muscles for birth.

A normal birth is tricky enough for any mother and baby but when there are complications the physical strains can be enormous. Procedures like ventouse delivery or Caesarean section where the baby is pulled out headfirst can result in the baby having strain in the neck. This can cause torticollis or may lead to digestive problems as the nerves from the neck to the stomach become irritated.

Treating the neck of a baby is different from treating an adult in that we never use manipulation. Instead babies are treated very gently and safely using cranio-sacral therapy. This is a type of gentle stretching to release tension in the membranes of the neck and abdomen that may have become traumatised during birth. These techniques are part of the training of British trained Osteopaths.

The cloud of cancer approached on a beautiful sunny day

This week The Euro Weekly News begins a regular column chronicling the journey – both emotional and physical – of a breast cancer sufferer.

Expatriate Erica Russell Watson will take us with her and share her thoughts and experiences as she comes to terms with an illness she was only recently diagnosed with.

It is one that affects more than one million women worldwide each year. Her story is unfortunately a common one in many homes around Spain and the world; a story of pain, disbelief, heartbreak, laughter, tears and spirit.

Screening and early detection is essential in the fight against breast cancer and organisations around Spain stress that being diagnosed with breast cancer does not necessarily equal a death sentence.

We hope that Erica’s story will strike a chord with readers and perhaps also inspire women to get screened at their nearest clinics in order to combat this disease; a disease that can devastate the lives of not only sufferers, but also their families and friends.

But it is important to remember that there is hope, and many women have, with just the same courage and dignity shown by Erica, faced up to the illness and come through it.

We wish Erica all the best, our thoughts are with her.

By Erica Russell Watson My story so far: detection, diagnosis and plan of action to combat breast cancer.

August 2, 2014: Yet another beautiful sunny day and I was looking forward to playing ‘padel’ when I noticed a strange sensation in my right breast and a thickening of the skin around the areola coupled with a slight discolouration and change in texture.

I started to investigate, feeling my breast for abnormalities or lumps. I couldn’t find anything discernible and moved up into my right armpit when suddenly I felt a large hard lump. The lump did not hurt and as I didn’t have a temperature I was sure it wasn’t an infection.

My alarm bells sounded so I went to Urgencias at the hospital (A&E). If I am honest I was fairly positive that the signs were not good and suspected breast cancer, not because I am a negative person but because I am a realistic person. Having done some initial research the signs were not consistent with more minor illnesses.

Once in Urgencias I explained my findings and the doctor examined me. She could not find a lump in my breast, quite a large surface area to cover!

But did feel the lump in my armpit and noted the strange skin texture. She referred me directly to the Breast Unit in VélezMálaga where I went for a scan and mammogram on August 12. The doctors didn’t like the look of what they saw and I was back in two days later for a biopsy.

The biopsy was not dissimilar to spear fishing

27th. Being August in Spain, everyone was on holiday so I just had to wait. I was not expecting good news, it was just a feeling I had as I knew something wasn’t right; we all know our own bodies.

This is an important point and one I will revisit later. Listen to your body and your instincts, no matter how qualified the people are around you, never be afraid to question medical staff. They are only human after all and you may spot something they might overlook.

I sat in front of the doctor and waited for the news. He calmly reviewed the findings with me and confirmed I had Grade 2 cancer in both the sample taken from my breast and the one from my armpit-lymph node. My attention drifted slightly as I listened to an inordinate amount of information over the ensuing hour-and-a-half.

I accepted the information and came away strangely calm.

The main impression I had was that this wasn’t something to worry about and that there were a series of steps to go through. Firstly, surgery to remove the tumours and then depending on the results, chemotherapy and I just radiotherapy. I always cope knew better when I have a plan of that action. So I went down to somet the designated area and h wasn’ ing booked myself onto the t righ POSITIVE: Erica t operation waiting list. I did copes better when spot my paper was marked she has a plan of priority! action.

I went home to digest the news. I imagine people deal with it in many different ways. Strangely I did not feel but with needles! Take aim traumatised and I did not cry... tears would come and fire! Several samples of later. both the lump in my breast I did not feel a sense of injustice. I thought of and armpit were taken and my children and my family and what their sent off for analysis.

Maintain healthy blood glucose levels to stop sugar cravings

Do you suffer from sugar cravings? Help is at hand.

Here’s a statistic to put you off your three o’clock cake and biscuits: according to the British Medical Journal, one third of adults have high blood sugar.

This is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and can lead to disease.

“Blood glucose levels become low between meals and while we sleep. This creates a natural need for us to seek out a ‘fix’ to restore balance. Modern sugarladen foods cause dramatic spikes in our blood sugar, causing frequent highs and lows, leading to cravings for yet more sugar, which damages the body and leads to insulin resistance – a marker for disease,” advises nutritionist, bio-chemist and health writer Babi Chana BSc Nut Med. EU approval for ChromoPrecise – 10 times better absorbed

SWEET CRAVING: One third of adults have high blood sugar.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has rubber stamped the ChromoPrecise organic chromium yeast found in Pharma Nord’s Bio-Chromium

after the Danish nutrition experts provided exhaustive paperwork.

The experts agreed that ChromoPrecise is the only

chromium yeast to maintain healthy blood glucose levels with up to 10 times better absorption than any other chromium on the market.

ChromoPrecise contains chromium embedded in a yeast structure, providing it with unique properties.

Chromium combines with several amino acids and forms a natural molecule called chromodulin that helps channel sugar into body cells.

Chromodulin supports insulin by ‘unlocking’ cells from the inside, allowing sugar (glucose) to enter the cell with ease. This stops blood sugar from damaging the body and prevents insulin resistance, which is a marker for disease.

With chromodulin doing its work, blood sugar levels can stabilise. This supports weight loss, as unstable blood sugar causes us to develop cravings for sweets and junk food.

A two month supply of 60 BioChromium tablets (100mcg) is available from Anni’s Vital Shop.

Bikinis being blamed for skin cancer increase THE bikini is being partly blamed for an increase in skin cancer after a rise in cases of 400 per cent between the 1930s and 1960s.

In the 1920s the amount of women’s skin exposed when in swimwear was 20 per cent, but after Louis Reard invented the bikini, that rose to 80 per cent. Now, modern-day bikinis expose over 90 per cent of women’s skin and with greater exposure there comes a greater risk of melanoma.

Costa del Sol’s best guide to local restaurants

AUTUMN is coming and after a successful summer season the Longhorn Restaurant will give a warm welcome to all regular clients who stay mainly in the cooler months on the Costa del Sol. However, the opening hours remain almost unchanged since the owner Claus no longer wants to provide the lunch menu during the week.

“There are simply too few guests at noon to justify the personnel and time.

The Longhorn is perceived even after two years, mainly as an evening restaurant.”

An exception is Sunday, which is very popular mainly due to the great BBQ offer and is open from 1pm until 10pm. For a flat fee of €16.50 in addition to a salad and a delicious baked potato, various freshly grilled high quality pieces of beef are served from Northern Spain, Argentina and the USA. Also served are small home-made hamburgers and a spicy sausage from the Basque Country. And the great thing is you can reorder as often as you want. This special offer is also valid on Monday evening from 6.30pm.

Groups of 20 people or more can rent the restaurant during the week between 1pm to 5pm for private parties.

The popular BBQ or a fixed menu can be served, perfect for that office Christmas dinner.

international dishes in a cosy, romantic dining room full of rustic French charm,

all headed by chef Xavier and front of house Kairi.

A childhood amongst

cooks in his native Bordeaux and a diploma from a reputable French cookery school, paired with 20 years leading his own restaurant in Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas should be enough credentials for a chef and his new venture.

However, Xavier Sierra’s new eatery exceeds expectations. “We have a small dining-room and an outdoor patio area to offer our clients great food, exceptional service and privacy,” said Xavier.

At El Postillon, there is a set menu as well as a ‘chef’s special menu’ that changes regularly.

French gems such as home-made paté with onion compote and toast; Grilled Fillet steak with maitre d’hôtel butter; Crab, salmon and hake terrine with rose sauce; Foie gras of duck; Snails Bourguignon; Magret of Duck are some examples of what awaits food lovers.

The Fonda has kept the Andalucian features of the building, giving it a French rustic twist. One of the beauties of El Postillon is that it is off the beaten track, surrounded by spectacular views of the

“Thanks to them we have been awarded their Certificate of Excellence.”

Ready for Christmas

CHRISTMAS is already in the air with the announcement of this year’s Christmas Fair in Los Barrios, in the Bay of Gibraltar.

Now in its eighth year, the festival will herald the beginning of the Christmas season on November 29 and 30 with a host of attractions guaranteed to inspire that Christmas spirit.

There will be plenty of activities for children, a nativity scene, a flamenco choir and stalls with food, drink and Christmas gifts.

Entrance to the fair is just €3 per vehicle with proceeds going to Campo de Gibraltar Food Bank. Donations of food and clothing are welcome at the entrance to the Food Bank of Algeciras. For more info www.haciendaalmoguera.com

Plans to lower voting age to 16 SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLDS in Gibraltar may soon be able to have their say in general elections should a new proposal be approved in Parliament.

The Gibraltar Government announced that there was unanimous approval at a Cabinet meeting held yesterday morning to reduce the voting age from 18 to 16. The move – which seems certain to go ahead given that the SocialistLiberal alliance government has the majority vote in Parliament – would add around 800 new voters to the electoral register in the small British outpost bordering Spain. As the British Government considers proposals for reducing the voting age to 16 in the UK, Gibraltar looks

set to follow Scotland’s decision to allow 16-year-olds to vote in the recent referendum on independence.

Gibraltar Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said: “With the referendum in Scotland having included 16-yearold voters, any future referenda in the UK and Gibraltar are likely to have such a franchise. As a result, it is clear to us that voting at general elections should also be extended to those who are 16 years and over.”

Gibraltar will join only a small group of countries who extend voting rights to citizens under the age of 18, including Argentina, Nicaragua, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Austria.

MADRID: The Spanish capital is among the 20 most attractive cities in the world for investors

and fastest growing cities regarding investment and differences in pricing.

According to Cushman & Wakefield, Spain is one of the most interesting markets in Europe for real estate investors, because of the improvement felt in its economy and the increase in demand and prices. Madrid ranks 16th in the list, immediately followed by Barcelona (17th).

New York is at the top of the list for fourth year in a row, followed by London, Tokyo, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

“The investors’ levels of trust in our country have increase rapidly this year, especially in its real-

Firms and foreign funds drive market FOLLOWING years of decline, the Spanish real estate market has started to show the first signs of recovery, according to the National Statistics Institute.

After 10 months of falls, sales in July registered a 10.7 per cent increase, totalling 28,583 transactions, and mortgages for the purchase of homes increased by 17.4 per cent.

Nevertheless, the market is currently being driven by corporations, foreign investors and their funds and not by the traditional homebuyer, said experts.

Figures from the General Council of Notaries show that 37.7 per cent of home purchases in July were financed by mortgages and that the loans also served to finance 75.5 per

BARGAIN MANSION - Priced To Sell at €1million Bought By Owner For €1.5million

MARBESA MANSION: Just a gentle stroll to some of the best beaches in the Marbella area.

The veranda looks across the manicured gardens and large pool, towards the vast Mediterranean beyond. A grand double staircase leads down to the large pool and lawn, surrounded by well tended, established plants and mature trees.

The living room has an impressive built-in fireplace with marble surround, providing warmth throughout the winter.

To the left of the dining area is the fully fitted kitchen with granite worktops, with views

towards the pool and gardens. A large utility room with storage lies beyond. A guest cloak room is also on this floor.

The first of the bedrooms in this large property is found on this floor, complete with spacious en suite shower-room and double sinks. Built-in wardrobes provide ample storage. Ascending the galleried staircase takes you to the upper hallway.

To the right is the master bedroom complete with built in wardrobes as part

of a separate dressing area, and a large en suite bathroom, with corner Jacuzzi bathtub, separate shower, double sinks and W.C. To the left of the hallway is another huge bedroom with en suite bathroom. Both bedrooms have sliding patio doors leading to what is currently an 80m2 ‘entertainment area,’ with removable glass windows, ideal for keeping the heat in during the winter (thanks to the large woodburning stove) and allowing in the gentle sea

breezes during the summer. This spacious room has uninterrupted, panoramic views of the coast and makes an ideal space for entertaining.

Currently housing a pool table, dart board and fully fitted bar, this is the ideal ‘party room’! Descending the stairs once more, down to the garden level of the property and you will find a sauna and gymnasium, along with parking for three-four cars. In addition, a separate entrance on this level takes you to yet more

living space, with views of the grounds - a large double bedroom, with plenty of storage space and an adjacent shower room.

A small hallway leads you to an open plan, fully fitted kitchen and large living room, with direct access to the garden. This would be ideal to convert into a separate guest suite or staff quarters, with private access from the main entrance of the property.

Spread over three floors, measuring 578m2 on a plot of 1,170m2, the property features central heating and marble floors throughout and electric gate through which to access the garage via the paved driveway.

The villa has excellent access from the N-340 highway, and all essential local amenities are to be found within a few minutes’ drive - along with some of the best beach bars and restaurants dotted along the beachfront, just a 10 minute stroll away.

Costa pioneer Ricardo Soriano’s 1903 Panhard Et Levassor in Bonham sale A 1903 PANHARD et Levassor Model KB Four-Cylinder SideEntrance Phaeton - first owned by Spanish aristocrat the Marques of Ivanrey - will star in Bonham’s annual London to Brighton sale.

Ricardo Soriano, the Marques of Ivanrey, received the Panhard new in January 1903, heralding it the 18th car ever to be registered in Madrid, Spain.

Soriano was a well known entrepreneur of great wealth and influence. Famed for his eclectic pursuits, the multifaceted aristocrat was an early promoter of tourism to

PANHARD ET LEVASSOR: The car is in astoundingly good condition for such a well travelled roadster.

the Costa del Sol, paying particular interest to the Spanish seaside town of

Marbella where still to this day one of the city’s main streets is named after him.

The historic Panhard remains mostly in original condition, only in 1975 seeing minor restorative efforts to upholstery and paintwork.

Having been in the ownership of Soriano for 71 years, the Panhard has since changed hands just twice, only leaving its native Spain in 2006 for the Netherlands where its current owner lives.

Competing in the London to Brighton Run as recently as last year, the Panhard carries an estimate of up to £700,000 (€888,000).

James Knight, Bonham’s Group Motoring Director, said: “At 111 years old, the Panhard is in astoundingly good condition for such a well travelled roadster.

A wonderful addition to this year’s sale, it is among some 20 veteran cars, making 2014 our biggest London to Brighton sale to date.”

To be held on October 31 at Bonham’s flagship showroom on New Bond Street.

Porsche Sport Driving Sch motorists’ driving skills for

A

SIMPLE driving workshop 40 years ago laid the foundation for today’s Porsche Sport Driving School.

It was prompted by the premiere of the high-powered 911 Turbo at the Paris Motor Show in 1974.

Even before sales got under way, Porsche engineers and dealers realised that practice was needed to drive the new top model at high speeds safely.

What started as a workshop for a few car fans has now developed into the international Porsche Sport Driving School (PSDS) - with courses offered in 15 countries including Spain (Madrid and Barcelona).

PSDS enables Porsche customers to improve their driving skills, step by step. The philosophy has not changed over the years: “You tell us your goal in driving, and we’ll make sure you reach it.”

The ‘we’ in that statement are the driving instructors and trainers. One of approximately 100 instructors worldwide is Carsten Dreses. The 43-

TOP PHOTO: Carsten Dreses (left) and Klaus-Peter Krüger of the international year-old steps back from a session to describe the objective: “We want to instill an instinctive feel for driving and with it the art of reading and understanding the car better. When drivers sense the harmony in their cars, they’re automatically more secure and also faster as a result.”

Dreses knows what he’s talking about. A full-time development engineer for Porsche, he enters

endurance races in his free time. Since 2004, he has been imparting the skills of safe and fast driving to eager students around 15 times a year.

“It’s just as important now as it was 40 years ago - not to concentrate on lifeless theory, but rather on driving pleasure,” says Dreses’s colleague, Klaus-Peter Krüger.

An engineer, the 57-year-old Krüger joined Porsche in 1981 and since 1991

has also been working part-time as an instructor and supervisor for the Porsche Sport Driving School. After 23 years, he remains just as enthusiastic about the concept and the content of this special school.

“It’s still a matter of teaching the right way to sit, steer, and brake,” he notes. “But with ABS, Porsche Stability Management [PSM], and other driver assistance systems in the background, cars now behave differently at their limits. We show the drivers the situations where the individual systems kick in to support them.”

Krüger added: “You couldn’t rely on driver assistance systems in the past. You had to know beforehand what would happen in certain situations.” For example, consider the first 911 Turbo in 1974. “It was especially hard to drive the car in curves,” he recalls. “If you accelerated abruptly it might leap forward while under-steering, and if you removed your foot suddenly from the gas you could easily fishtail.”

The Porsche 911 Turbo was one of the reasons for the first courses at the Porsche Sport Driving School. The super sports car was scheduled to be presented at the Paris Motor Show in October of 1974, and was to be sold starting in the spring of 1975. After the first training sessions, it was clear to the engineers and dealers that drivers needed sure hands and a high degree of control to handle this car and its spectacular power and speed smoothly and safely.

The structure of today’s courses has not changed much since the start.

Today they offer courses suitable for everyone, from beginners to racing drivers.

In addition to classical sessions on safety and racing tracks, there are also off-road and winter courses.

European debut for Mazda 2 NEXT generation supermini Mazda 2 will make its European press debut at an exclusive driving event at Mazda Space in Barcelona on November 3.

The five-door hatchback will also be the highlight of several national motor shows and other events in autumn and winter.

The all-new Mazda2 combines the complete range of SKYACTIV Technology with a stunning KODO - Soul of Motion design very similar to the Mazda Hazumi concept unveiled in Geneva in March. It features the ingeniously intuitive interior concept first seen on the Mazda3, including the Active Driving Display - the first head-up display in this class - and a humanmachine interface specially adapted for the subcompact’s cabin. With

MZD Connect, the all-new Mazda2 is also one of the first B-segment models to bring occupants online in complete safety, meeting the demands of today’s customers. The cabin itself is spacious and comfortable for the driver but also with top-class rear legroom.

Under the bonnet is one of four engines including the SKYACTIV-D 1.5, a brand-new low compression clean diesel producing 77kW/105PS.

IT was super Lewis Hamilton first, Nico Rosberg second and Valtteri Bottas third in last Sunday’s inaugural Russian Grand Prix in Sochi. Hamilton won by 16 seconds to go 17 points ahead of Rosberg in the driver’s championship. Rosberg drove on the same set of Pirelli tyres throughout the race and set the fastest lap time. Mercedes won their first-ever Constructor’s crown. It’s on to Austin, Texas next (November 2) with only two races left after that. And Sebastian Vettel will drive for Ferrari next year with Fernando Alonso replacing Jenson Button at McLaren.
