ANDALUCIA: Visited by more than 6.9 million foreign holidaymakers

52.4 million foreign tourists for Spain

A WHOPPING 52.4 million foreign holidaymakers travelled to Spain up until the end of September, said Industry, Energy and Tourism Minister Jose Manuel Soria.

This represents a 7.4 per cent increase year-over-year. As stated by Soria, this was the best summer in Spain’s history as far as international tourism is concerned.

Should this positive trend continue, the number of foreign holidaymakers paying a

MALAGA students embraced the strike called by the Students Syndicate, leaving echoing corridors in secondary and higher education centres across the province.

While all first- and second-year secondary school students attended classes as normal as they are not allowed to join strikes, other classes registered

85 per cent participation in the strike, according to syndicate spokesman Ruben Fernandez, with slightly lower figures for university students.

Students spent the night of Tuesday October 21 locked in the Psychology Faculty Department of Malaga University and discussed the state of the university

Wednesday saw peaceful protest marches through Malaga and Marbella with students carrying banners with slogans demanding better education laws as police officers looked on. No violent incidents had been reported at time of going to press.

‘El Clasico’- the rivalry continues

T

HE first and eagerly awaited ‘El Clasico’ of this season will see Barcelona travel to Real Madrid’s Bernabeu Stadium on Saturday as they seek to widen their four-point gap at the top of the table over their arch rivals.

Over the last few years the meetings between these two bitter adversaries have had an added dimension through the dynamism and skill of Barcelona’s Leo Messi and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo - just who is the better player? - and Saturday’s match may see the first competitive game for Barcelona’s Luis Suarez since his fourmonth ban for biting at the World Cup.

Quote of the Week A new political force to change the country has been born today,’ said Pablo Iglesias at a Civic Assembly organised by leftwing political party Podemos at Palacio de Vistalegre in Madrid.

The rivalry between the clubs from Spain’s two biggest cities is steeped in history reflecting political divisions that emerged during the Franco regime.

Real Madrid was viewed as the ‘establishment’ club representing Spanish nationalism, and the citizens of Barcelona were mostly opposed to Franco’s fascist rule. The intense rivalry has grown over time thanks to a number of factors, including the issue of Catalan independence, controversial player transfers and the overwhelming hunger for trophies. Real Madrid currently has a slim lead over Barcelona in the number of ‘El Clasicos’ won: 91 to Barcelona’s 88.

But Barcelona has yet to concede a goal this season.

Real Madrid versus Barcelona kicks off at 6pm.

Giving a helping hand…

W

E here at EWN were among the first to congratulate two hardy cyclists who pedalled from Yorkshire to Southern Spain for charity.

The reason? Well, the cycle’s finishing point was at our offices in Benalmadena!

Paul Kearns and Steven Tindall cycled 2,000 miles through three countries in aid of two wonderful charities and we were proud to be a part of the event.

Without suffering one single puncture between them during their 26-day trip, the ‘two blokes and two bikes’ travelled from Baildon, Bradford, down through France and then on to Benidorm, Costa Blanca, and through Alicante and Malaga before finishing at the EWN offices, tired but in good cheer.

The dedication and

determination they showed to power their bikes through all sorts of adverse weather conditions has to be admired. And with more than £10,000 (€12,500) raised for charity, they deserve all the thanks in the world as well as a hardearned rest.

It makes us proud to see expat people in Spain doing what they can to raise money for good causes, and Paul and Steven’s trip was just one of thousands of events that take place every year organised by people for the good of their communities and for worthwhile causes.

We take it upon ourselves to support various events and charity causes, and would likewise encourage the expat community, wherever they may be in Spain, to get involved in any good causes close to home.

Oña steps down as Fuengirola Mayor ESPERANZA OÑA has stepped down as Fuengirola Mayor.

Her decision comes following a ruling handed down by the Constitutional Court, according to which her position as mayor is incompatible with membership of the Andalucian Parliament, of which Oña is the second vicepresident.

At the helm of Fuengirola Council will now be Deputy Mayor and Oña’s right-hand woman Ana Mula, who will also run for Mayor in the upcoming municipal elections.

LEAVING: Esperanza Oña “It is time to pass the baton.

These have been the most difficult days of my political career,” said Oña, who is now to devote herself

to the Andalucian Parliament.

Regarding the reasons why she chose Parliament over her position as Fuengirola Mayor, Oña said she leaves an administration governed by an absolute majority and that the PP had achieved stability in one of its electoral bastions, adding that in Fuengirola ‘the homework is done’, said diariosur.es.

Oña added that Andalucia represents “the most difficult challenge yet” and that she wants to use her political experience to help her political party govern the region.

NEWS Airports privatisation ‘a concern’ THE Junta de Andalucia is supporting Malaga Airport employees.

Councillor Antonio Jesus Roldan met airports authority AENA employees to show his support in their fight against the privatisation of Spanish airports.

The move jeopardises tourism and privatising 49 per cent of the company would put airports with lower passenger influx at risk of closure, including Granada-Jaen, Almeria or Jerez, he said.

He therefore proposed a joint action plan with Aeropuertos del Estado to give each individual airport a specific function. “There are airports with higher passenger traffic, some report losses and others run a surplus, so they balance each other out,” he said.

A bright future for Andalucia THE Andalucian economy will grow in 2015 and the construction sector will register an increase for the first time in almost a decade.

Unicaja bank said the regional gross domestic product (GDP) in Andalucia will grow by 2 per cent next year, which is consistent with the growth witnessed in the rest of the country, and that all sectors, excluding agriculture, will participate

in the foreseen upturn.

Furthermore, the construction sector will increase for the first time since 2007 (+2.3 per cent year-over-year), said economic analysts.

The industrial sector is expected to grow by 3.5 per cent next year, but services - given their relative weight in the productive structure representing two thirds of GDP - will play the most influential role in its evolution (1.9 per cent).

Report’s co-ordinator Felisa Becerra said the slight drop foreseen in the agricultural sector - 0.1 per cent - should not be construed as a sign of weakness, because this sector has its own cycles, which are not dependent on the economic situation but rather on weather

conditions and crops.

As far as demand is concerned, private consumption will be the main driving force behind Andalucia’s GDP. Economic analysts foresee household expenditures will increase by 2 per cent next year, while public administrations will continue spending less (0.3 per cent).

Investment is also expected to increase by 3.4 per cent.

This overall improvement will be reflected in the labour market.

The number of people currently in employment in Andalucia is expected to increase by 1.1 per cent this year and job creation will reportedly register a 1.7 per cent increase in 2015, according to Unicaja.

STUCK: Cats climb trees to get a better view of environment. (Not actual cat)

€600 to get cat down from tree FIREFIGHTERS in Alhaurin de la Torre tried to charge a man €600 to get his cat down from a pine tree.

Sunday October 19 started like any other day for Eduardo Canton, until his cat Luna climbed to the top of a pine tree in a park.

After borrowing a ladder from a friend and trying to get her down himself, Canton decided to call the Local Police.

“I knew they would not show up, but I expected them to give me an idea of what

I could do,” he said talking to 20minutos.es. He called Civil Protection who said they had a crane but he would have to wait at least until Monday.

He then called the firefighters who said they would charge him €600 to get Luna down from the pine tree. “Of course I said no.” said Canton. The story, however, had a happy ending, as a kind-hearted gardener used a harness to rescue Luna and return her to her owner and his son.

Two blokes, two bikes and 2,000 miles….

T

HEY finally made it. After 26 days in the saddle, on a journey that crossed three countries, the ‘two blokes on their two bikes’ - showing no signs of fatigue - powered up the final hill in Benalmadena to finish their 2,000 mile charity cycle outside the offices of EWN at lunchtime on Friday, October 17.

Paul Kearns and Steven Tindall - who set off from Baildon, Bradford, 26 days ago - were overwhelmed with emotion as they dismounted their bicycles for the final time. The mechanic and the pub landlord raised over £10,000 (€12,500) for two charities - Tomas Leighton Care and Breakthrough Breast Cancer - through their extraordinary feat.

TOMAS: With Steven and Michel Euesden.

Their journey would see them get lost in Barcelona and infiltrate an Iron Man competition near Alicante. And surprisingly, they didn’t get one puncture between them in 2,000 miles.

“We’re two minutes late,” joked Paul as he got off his bicycle and embraced his

family. The ‘From Rain to Spain’ epic challenge was over and a Champagne reception outside the offices of EWN one of the ‘From Rain to Spain’ sponsors - was held for the two amateur cyclists who had just finished a cycle nearly as long as the Tour de France.

Around 40 friends, family and well-wishers - most of whom had travelled from the UK especially to greet the pair - were on hand to congratulate Paul, aged 47, and Steve, aged 55, at the end of their incredible journey.

“It’s been an unforgettable experience and one we’ll never forget as long as we’re alive,” said Paul. “It was tough going and at times it was very difficult and testing, but we’ve made it and enjoyed it along the way. Everybody we met along the way, from the UK to the south of Spain, has been so great.”

Paul explained that, at times, obstacles would arise and they needed to improvise in order to continue on their way.

“We came across this road that was closed for about 50 kilometres,” said Paul. It turned out there was an Iron Man competition on and we couldn’t use the road. So we just joined the rest of the cyclists and pretended that we were competitors.

I’m sure we were winning at one stage. When they got to the point where they had to turn around and go back, we just kept going through the barriers and continued on our way. We got some funny looks.”

Steven explained that in

JOURNEY OVER: Paul and Steven meet Tomas and are greeted by friends and family on their arrival.

Barcelona they were turned back by the police when they tried to join a motorway. “Push bikes aren’t allowed on the motorways so we asked how to get out of Barcelona and they told us to go back the way we’d come and turn left,” he said. “So we did that, then went left again and around half an hour later we ended up right back where we started in front of the police. We must have cycled Las Ramblas about four times trying to find our way out.”

Trailed by their support drivers Stewart Metcalfe and David Pickles in a camper van, the ‘From Rain to Spain’ tour made its way down into Andalucia before finally ending in the hot Benalmadena sunshine.

Nine-year-old Tomas

Leighton - who suffers from Cerebral Palsy, cortical blindness and learning disabilities - was on the scene to greet his two heroes after powering their bikes through three countries to raise money for his cause. Tomas’s father John said: “This is so touching and wonderful.

This group of 40 have flown over from England especially for this and we’re so grateful. Paul owns a pub, the Bulls Head in Baildon, but he won’t have any customers this week-end as they’re all here!”

The two cyclists plan to rest and recuperate for a few days in Spain before heading back to the UK. “We won’t be doing much cycling this week,” they joked.

“We’re just delighted to have done it and raised so much for charity.”

First port of call was the Britain is Great section of the store which had a wide variety of goods on display. Then, still led by the piper, it was upstairs for the official launch ceremony.

It’s a dog’s life in Mijas MIJAS is getting ready for an animal invasion this Halloween for its second annual fun-filled Pets Day. Dogs in costume, comedians, training lessons, exhibitions and children’s workshops form just a small part of the day, which also carries with it a serious message: the adoption of pets.

Pet adoption “will be the central theme of Pets Day in Mijas,” said Mijas Councillor Manuel Navarro.

“We are urging all families who don’t have a pet and are thinking of getting one to come to this celebration and adopt from an animal shelter.”

As Mijas’s pet celebration

coincides with Halloween, there will be all sorts of activities taking place.

“We encourage owners to dress up, and their pets also, in order to give a themed Halloween touch to the event,” said Councillor Navarro.

Pets Day takes place in Parque Andalucia in Mijas from 11am to 2pm on November 2.

She also explained that the idea was to showcase the best of British products emphasising their quality. She has in the past said that backing British businesses and trade was a huge part of the Foreign Office’s work, and that this was just one aspect of that.

People who go to the events will have the chance to taste the best of British food, buy clothes from top British designers, and enjoy the best of British writing

and live music.

The Britain is Great festival launched with a nationwide promotion of more than 650 different British products, plus a wide range of fashion brands, in more than 90 El Corté Inglés department stores.

Especially large displays of the Best of Britain will be found at El Corté Inglés’s flagship stores in Madrid (Castellana), Barcelona (Diagonal), Bilbao, Valencia and Marbella (Puerto Banus).

Environmental groups concerned over oil prospecting off Costa ENVIRONMENTAL groups are voicing their concern over the possibility of oil prospecting taking place in Costa del Sol due to the potential seismic risks involved.

“It is one of the areas of the country with the highest seismic risk,” warned members of Greenpeace on Monday (October 20).

“This project should be dismissed immediately, as well as the ones in the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Valencia, Tarragona and the Cantabric Sea,” said Greenpeace spokesman Julio Barea.

Ignoring the seismic risk shows the lack of seriousness of the government; it is a further example of its erratic energy policy, he commented.

The project only needs to be green-lit by the Industry Ministry and it would focus on a 10-kilometre area off Mijas’s coast, which “entails an environmental, social and economic risk,” said Barea.

Hola Credito eases medical pain with short-term loan

Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short-term lender, when we look at different financial products offered. This week how Hola Credito helped one family pay for a medical emergency Unfortunately medical emergencies are a fact of life. Good health insurance policies usually give ample cover for when illnesses occur, but the paperwork involved can be the last thing on your mind when a loved one is in trouble.

Hola Credito was able to take away immediate financial worries for one client and let him concentrate on helping his wife get better.

“My wife was taken ill and the doctors couldn’t find out what was wrong. The diagnosis was taking a long time and we were worried. We have family health insurance, but I just didn’t want to deal with all the paperwork whilst trying to find out what was wrong with my wife.”

His daughter suggested contacting Hola Credito for a short-term loan. The family had a collection of gold Sovereigns which they could use as security.

She telephoned Puerto Banus-based Hola Credito, and within 24 hours a €5,000 loan had been agreed.

Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) provides short-term loans which use assets as security, including high-end watches, jewellery, precious stones and metal, cars and boats. It can usually arrange a loan very quickly, and once the goods are deposited at its safe, secure location the money is transferred to the client’s account, or given cash in hand.

“Getting the cash so quickly meant we didn’t have to worry about money whilst my wife was ill,” said the client. “She is now fully recovered, and the insurance company has covered all our costs. But at the time we wanted to make life as easy as possible and concentrate on her.

“Hola Credito was brilliant, and because the interest on the loan is calculated daily, we only had to pay for the number of days we needed the money.”

Hola Credito is one of Spain’s leading short-term lenders, offering flexible loan terms of between two weeks and six months.

Fuengirola’s erotic tapas NOVEMBER is approaching, and in Fuengirola that brings passion to mind.

The erotic tapa route a yearly event since its creation in 2009 - begins

on Friday, October 31.

One hundred businesses will be taking part in this edition - 22 more than last year allowing people to enjoy even more special

creations. Organised by the tourism department to boost low season business during November, the event requires businesses to produce a specifically created recipe.

Each tapa is offered for a price of €2 with a drink included in the price.

This fun event, which will run until November 16, plays with eroticism through the texture of the food, presentation and even the names of the dishes.

Members of the public are invited to participate in the event by filling in 10 spaces on a special passport, available from

town hall offices, participating businesses and local hotels.

Once completed, individuals can hand this passport in at the Tourism Office to be included in a draw for prizes including a cruise for two people, a trip to Tangiers and hotel stays.

Newest small member of the Biopark is born THE second mouse-deer (Tragulus javanicus) - the smallest type of deer in the world - of the year has been born in Fuengirola’s Biopark.

This is the ninth of the breed to be born in Fuengirola. The mother, born at the zoo in 2007, and father, arrived from Lille (France) just a year ago, form part of a European coordinated reproduction programme.

The baby - weighing approximately 100 grammes - now lives in the Hidden

Jungle area of the park with its parents.

Biopark Fuengirola is the only park in Spain to keep and breed this delicate species - originally from south-eastern Asia - of which there are only 43 in Europe. Adults are about the same size as rabbits and are usually solitary, nocturnal animals making them difficult to spot.

Deforestation in the forests of southeast Asia threatens their future in the wild.

Hindus celebrate Diwali this week THE traditional Hindu festival of lights, or ‘Diwali’, will be celebrated this week in many homes and restaurants on the Costa del Sol. The most important Indian festival of the year, the name derives from the row of traditional clay lamps that Indians light outside their homes to celebrate the inner light

that protects from darkness.

Family gatherings, fireworks, bonfires and the sharing of sweets are just some of the traditions that take place during the fiveday Diwali celebrations.

The main day of the festival – Lakshmi Puja – sees families gather together in prayer to the Hindu goddess Lakshmi before indulging in a

mouthwatering feast in her honour.

The legend goes that the goddess wanders the earth looking for welcome, which is the reason why homes place lighted candles outside, inviting the goddess to come in.

Homes that celebrate Diwali will be cleaned and decorated in preparation for the festivities, and if you

see fireworks lighting up the skies of the Costa del Sol this week, there’s a good chance that they are being launched in honour of the goddess Lakshmi.

Tonight, October 23, the famous Chowka restaurant on Marbella’s Golden Mile will be holding Diwali celebrations, including a fire show with dancers and fire-eaters.

A special menu will feature mouthwatering delights including Lamb Kadai, South Indian prawn curry, crispy duck salad and mango kheer, and vegetarians can indulge in almond fig tikki, crispy sweet potato chaat and vegetable stir-fry, among other offerings.

Birthday celebrations at Old Joys Pub RECYCLING: More awareness and equipment needed.

Malaga’s glass recycling plans PAUL MAXWEL: Celebrating his 43rd birthday.

Many happy returns Paul from the Euro Weekly News team.

ABOVE: Abdul Slimani, Steven Cline, Miguel. Right: Angela Haywood, Amanda Partridge, Steven Cline, Ingela Pilhamre.

SO-CALLED Malaga of the thousand taverns is a great place for glass-recycling, but Limasa - the company which held the contract for this activity - has not managed to do a good job.

The city is at the bottom of the list for recycled glass with an average of 6.38 kilos per inhabitant per year - about 24 bottles or jars per person - the national average is 14.6 kilos.

Although more awareness is needed in restaurants and homes to

encourage refuse recycling, more green containers are also needed to place glass in. In Malaga there is one glass container per 438 inhabitants 1,297 altogether - the national ratio is one per 249 people.

City Hall has decided due to Limasa’s inability to increase the amount of refuse recycled without increasing costs, they will remove glass recycling from the services they employ the company to cover and hand this over to Ecovidrio, a non-profit entity which collects glass during fair week.

There is plenty of room for improvement, as seen during the fair in August when 40 tonnes of glass were collected. With this in mind, 400 extra glass recycling bins will be placed across the city and awareness campaigns are planned, Environmental councillor Raul Jimenez explained, noting that this project will not cost the city money as Ecovidrio cover costs with funds obtained from selling material to bottling companies.

While talks between the council and Ecovidrio are advancing well, at time of print no fixed date has been given for the change.

LEAD ROLE: Joseph Fiennes plays a Roman centurion in Clavius.

First Exodus, now Clavius, next Conan

A MAJOR Hollywood movie project currently being filmed in Almeria has brought a whole host of stars to the city.

Clavius – a depiction of events based on the missing body of Christ following his crucifixion – has turned much of Almeria into a movie set and has witnessed some of the big screen’s top names pop up in locations around town.

And thousands of locals have been applying for roles as extras in the movie – due for general release in 2015 – in scenes reminiscent of Ridley Scott’s visit to the area to film Exodus last year.

Joseph Fiennes, Peter Firth, Maria features Jesus Mata on saxophone and flute, Ziggy El Gato on guitar and Michael Ritter on bass. Tickets are €5.

Milton Express open Marbella office F

OR more than three-and-ahalf years many residents on the Costa Blanca have benefited from the unique services offered by Milton Express through their Winning Express concept.

Membership of Winning Express entitles participants to benefit from four different streams of income, two of which are tax-free.

The mission statement for Winning Express reads: “Winning Express exists to provide its members with taxfree returns, along with an earnings opportunity, and a sense of enjoyment in simply belonging to a club that’s dedicated to our mutual success.”

CEO Nicholas Thom is proud that those words are not simply empty rhetoric.

“We commenced operations in the UK in the autumn of 2010, and through one of my colleagues we realised our services could well appeal to UK expats in Spain.

Ex-professional footballer Steve Claridge will co-host presentation.

“We now have two offices, one in La Zenia near to Torrevieja and one in Javea.

Clients are prospering from our services and as we’d started receiving enquiries from the Marbella, Costa del Sol, area it made sense to begin operations in the region.”

Dean Kenyon, a Winning Express member since inception, is looking forward to spearheading the launch of the Marbella office.

He said: “I’ve been a member of Winning Express since the concept began so I know from

personal experience just how good the services are.”

So, what exactly does the Winning Express opportunity consist of?

“The most popular service is the arbitrage facility,” said Dean. “It’s a risk-free method of trading on horse racing and football.

“Winning Express participants simply give Milton’s traders authority to trade on their behalf each day. In return we receive 2 per cent per month tax-free and profits can be taken monthly or compounded.”

The sports betting service makes significantly higher profits, but Dean urges wouldbe participants to realise that there can, by definition, be volatility in that arena.

“Nevertheless, those advisers have made 350 per cent profit in just three-and-a-half years – tax-free!”

The owners of Milton Express have been heavily involved in the bloodstock trading industry for many years and last month announced an exclusive opportunity for Winning Express members to benefit from what is a very lucrative business.

Back to Mr Thom: “The only person at risk in the thoroughbred industry is the end user. Will the horse live up to its reputation and justify its purchase price?

“We simply act on behalf of purchasers and sellers on preagreed contracts.

We’re putting together a consortium of members and the Winning

Express Thoroughbred Fund will return 2.5 per cent per month to participants.”

To sum up: Winning Express is offering participants FOUR income-earning opportunities: Arbitrage: 2 per cent per month underwritten Sports Betting: 350 per cent profits over three-and-ahalf years. No guarantees but a proven track record – and returns are TAX-FREE Thoroughbred Fund: 2.5 per cent per month underwritten.

Introductory commissions: eight levels of commission with no restriction on earnings.

“Ex-professional footballer Steve Claridge, one of the few men to have played 1,000 competitive games, and now a highly-respected BBC TV and radio pundit, is involved with Winning Express and will be in Marbella to co-host a presentation.

STAT OF WEEK SPANIARDS worked an average of 1,665 hours last year. This was 277 hours more than the Germans and 176 more than the French, found the Institute for Economic Studies.

More millionaires but more inequality SPAIN’S dollar millionaires increased by 24 per cent to 465,000 between June 2013 and June 2014.

This doubled the advance of the previous 12 months, found Credit Suisse’s Global Wealth report for 2014.

The greatest wealth belongs to the 1,766 people in Spain worth more than $50 million (€39

MILLIONAIRE LIFESTYLE: More Spaniards have achieved it.

Tax break blow for multinationals SPAIN has been told to reverse tax breaks to its leading multinationals.

The government acted unlawfully by making it easier for them to acquire foreign companies, declared Joaquin Almunia, Vicepresident of the European Commission and Competition Commissioner.

Telefonica, Santander, Iberdrola, Albertis and the Spanish subsidiary of French insurers, AXA, must return this ‘illegal aid’ Commission sources revealed.

“Several billion euros” are at stake, they claimed, although both Brussels and the Spanish Government declined to give exact figures. Only money that has been used will have to be returned, said sources

close to the Spanish companies. Telefonica, for instance, received around €4 billion in tax breaks when acquiring the Brazilian company Vivo, but has used between €20 and €30 million, insiders revealed.

The 2012 Spanish allowances were backdated to 2007 when Brussels outlawed this type of help that offsets the difference between the value on a company’s books and its purchase price.

Before 2007 companies were justified in believing the tax breaks to be legitimate. By 2012 the Spanish Government knew they were not and should not have backdated them by five years, the European Commission now argues.

Minimum income has risen to €1,500 for one title-holder or €2,000 for two, found comparison website Helpmycash.

Easier ride INTERNATIONAL car manufacturers will invest €5 billion over the next five years, announced Begoña Cristeto, Junior Industry Minister. This will create 6,000 direct jobs and 25,000 indirect jobs, Cristeto said.

Economy ‘unaffected by Ebola’ THE Spanish Government is confident that the Madrid Ebola case will not affect tourism or the economy.

Asked if he believed that tourists would associate Spain with Ebola, Finance Minister Luis de Guindos gave a categorical “no” as he arrived in Brussels for an Ecofin meeting of the EU’s finance ministers.

The Madrid case was under control, De Guindos said. The only difference was in the human element and a fundamental desire for the infected patient to recover, he added.

The deceleration of the world economy together with Europe’s was having a greater effect than Ebola, according to the minister.

million) while the more modest fortunes of $1 million (€740,000) increased by 89,000.

The improvement stems from money made on the stock and finance markets, an environment inaccessible to those of modest means, Credit Suisse pointed out.

The net wealth of Spanish families increased by 15 per

cent, compared with the 10.6 per cent average for the countries examined by Credit Suisse. The report nevertheless stressed that this increased prosperity has not reached all of Spain’s population.

Inequality is growing, Credit Suisse found, with the richest 10 per cent of the population controlling 55.6 per cent of Spain’s wealth.

Frankly, he looked like a refugee from a Venetian circus.

His shabbiness was body language for ‘couldn’t care less’. If he had such a low opinion of his appearance and basic hygiene, what on earth went on in the kitchen? Do we really want to know?

smartly turned out in tuxedo jackets and butterfly ties? As one despairing restaurateur sighed: “Entertainers today look as if they have just strolled in off the beach.”

One Swedish restaurateur insisted that pianists engaged looked the part. The two musicians he booked

actually made an effort and, wow, what a difference it made!

If you look like a street busker you have no right to command a professional performer’s fee.

Uniforms and tunics are an essential part of working life. Our attitude towards others mirrors their attire. A very ordinary person you wouldn’t look twice at in the street creates a favourable impression when in overalls, uniform or nurse’s tunic.

A uniform or tunic conveys authority, competence and professionalism. It sends the right signals.

The difference that properlyattired, table-serving staff makes is remarkable. It has a marked effect on

customers’ attitudes and increases profitability. Shabbily-dressed staff have little choice but to sell on a price that reflects their dress code: cheap.

Might I suggest to business owners that they insist on a proper dress code as a condition of engagement.

Staff dressed appropriately build customer confidence and increase profitability. It has a bonus effect; staff feel better about themselves and they perform more professionally.

Personal appearance of staff is essential. It is the business owner who is responsible for the appearance of his staff and those he decides to employ.

FINANCE, BUSINESS & LEGAL

A chilly new benefit is being offered to career-orientated women Loose change A look at finance for females

Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

FOR many women these days, a personal ambition to excel in the workplace, alongside perhaps a desire to start a family, has for a long time presented a complicated maze of decisions and lack of possibilities.

It can be difficult to advance along a chosen career path if a mother suddenly has to take time off to look after children. And on top of that, what also makes it difficult for a woman to be successful is that it’s not unusual for bosses to promote and hire male colleagues over female ones, because they believe that the woman might one day become pregnant and need leave.

Such lines of thinking, which are alive

STARTING A FAMILY: A complicated decision for working women. and kicking in today’s ‘modern society’, leave women really struggling to prove that they are dedicated to their job and worth promoting. So much so, that some women even put off babies forever, or until they are satisfied that they have had enough of a career.

Two high-technology companies in America, however, have caused a stir this week since announcing another ‘benefit’ alongside yearly bonuses and education reimbursements. Facebook and Apple are going to offer female staff the option of freezing their eggs. A

typical round of egg-freezing costs about €8,000, with €400 or more in fees each year for storage. And the tech giants are willing to pay for it all.

Obviously the new health benefits have raised a few eyebrows, with many speculating that the measures are a way of encouraging female staff not to start a family and just work around the clock.

Plus, leaving motherhood till later is more complicated for all women.

For women who are not ready to have a baby, the new measure is fantastic, but if Apple and Facebook really want to encourage motherhood, then why not introduce a plan that allows men to take an extended paternity leave so that they can also look after the children? Share the responsibility, not just force women into making a difficult decision.

The technology world is a maledominated industry and both Facebook and Apple have recently released statistics showing that at least 70 per cent of their workforce is male, so it seems this surprising new ‘benefit’ is in order to try and retain more female staff.

Can they vote by internet?

By David Searl are concerned as many of the residents are not into computers, and will not have much say in matters at the meeting. The items on the official agenda will only be published on the internet. Is this legal?

L S (Costa Blanca) A. As of today, voting by internet is not legal for communities. The law specifies that votes at the AGM shall be by personal attendance or by proxy. If any member of the community chooses to impugn the results of the internet vote, he will surely win his case in court.

One way around this might be for those present at the meeting to vote to accept the results of the internet vote as valid. If no member challenges this procedure, then the decisions should be valid. If you can assemble enough votes, you may be able to overturn the president’s decision. One other point: Such a big change should be properly voted for by the members at the AGM

ALTHOUGH there are fewer grants around and families are short of funds, university registration fees now cost between €680 and €1,400, an average rise of €540 since 2012.

Students increasingly turn to crowd-funding to pay their annual registration fees, using internet sites like GoFundMe or Medifund, exclusively for medical students.

OPINION & COMMENT

Get it in writing when you need to make a move MAY I use the Letters’ page in your paper to issue a warning to persons moving furniture, etc, to UK from Spain or viceversa?

Back in May or June I priced the cost of moving three items of furniture from Spain to UK. I telephoned various removal companies and eventually obtained two prices of €150 and €186.

I decided on the cheapest at €150 but when I rang to arrange the pick-up, I was told the price was now €245.

When I asked why, the lady I spoke to made excuses about the cost of petrol and the distance to travel. She said I was being ignorant, which I was not, so I set the phone down.

As I had not kept the name of the second-cheapest company, I got my wife to deal with this person and had to pay the €245.

My purpose in writing is to advise any person moving goods to Spain from the UK or from the UK to Spain to ensure that they get any quote in writing, as in this case the company had no scruples in changing their original quote.

Since this is the case, perhaps I can send a message through you to Sr Luis Colomna, the Chief Justice of Almeria.

In response to his comments about Albox Council being ordered to pay for illegal homes, we don’t believe his claim that the British community has the support of the Spanish justice system.

JEREMY CLARKSON was hounded out of Argentina, he claims, for driving a car with an H982 FLK numberplate, apparently a sly reference to the 1982 Falklands War. Apparently he had another registration in reserve that read BEII END, which some read as a reference to the sinking of the Argentinian cruiser, the Belgrano.

In fact, I think if II were to be substituted with LL the resultant word would be a pretty apt description for Mr Clarkson.

F Andrews, Campello and Farnborough

Soulless act Spanish alike, have become victims of the granting of illegal planning consents.

As we have seen, having the law on your side and getting justice if your home has been demolished are two entirely different things.

The EWN report highlights the core issue: the Spanish courts can order compensation to victims but no one is paid it.

In short, no one wants to pay up.

When those victims who have had their homes demolished are paid the compensation awarded by Spanish courts, it will be then, and only then, that we will believe the claim that the British community has the support of the Spanish justice system.

But I also support Judy Finnigan who invited outrage and vitriol when she said on the Loose Women programme that some rapes were worse than others.

As happens when anyone well-known strays a centimetre or two from accepted media doctrine, Ms Finnigan felt obliged to apologise for something that

she said in all sincerity.

That didn’t prevent her daughter Chloe from being threatened with rape by those who disagreed with Judy but contemplated punishing her by committing the very crime they decry.

Surely rape victims do not want this kind of support?

Human errors NOT being a medical expert, I am the last person to know whether Spain’s Ministry of Health dealt with the country’s first Ebola patient in a responsible and efficient manner.

Any country unused to dealing with an often fatal disease that until now had been confined to Africa was likely to slip up regarding the stringent safety measures that need to be in place.

Of course it had to be Spain, inviting the usual snide

HOW appalling to learn that the dog Excalibur was put down because his owner, the Spanish nurse Teresa Romero, was infected with Ebola!

Why in Heaven’s name couldn’t the animal have been kept in quarantine like all the humans who had come into contact with her?

I have a theory about this and it won’t be popular.

The news columns and Letters’ page in the Euro Weekly News and other English-language publications in this part of the world repeat story after story of animal cruelty.

The blame for that rests squarely on the shoulders of the Catholic Church for teaching that animals do not have souls.

I for one do not believe this for one minute and what’s more if there are no animals in Heaven (if it exists) then I don’t want to go there.

A civilised war?

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

F

OUND myself once more engrossed in the excellent TV presentation of the ‘World at War, in Colour’ series, which is being repeated on ITV. One thing that has struck me is how much more ‘civilised’ war was in those, not-so-far-off days. Rows of captured prisoners, from both sides, being marched off, some even smiling.

Obviously not sure of their ultimate fate, but certainly safe in the knowledge that their heads would not be removed and used as footballs, and they would not be tortured and crucified with their eyes gouged out.

How different to the lines of bowed prisoners shuffling to exactly this form of demise at the hands of the ISIS barbarians.

No wonder these unfortunate men and women are fighting them to the death with such ferocity - wouldn’t you? The governments of the world, including Saudi Arabia, who initially financed

these monsters, must pour all their resources into these areas until these Satanists are crushed and broken, forever.

I did find myself particularly interested in the desert fighting segments of the WW2 series. My father drove a tank under the command of Montgomery in North Africa. I did wonder as I watched the tanks rumbling through the dust-filled, sunseared terrain, whether one of them contained my courageous father. All those who fought in this conflict were heroes, fighting for the people and the preservation of the country they loved.

How proud and relieved the survivors (my Dad one of them, TG) must have felt that when they once again set foot back onto British soil which, although war-ravaged, was still a place of democracy and free speech.

What a waste! Thanks to Blair and his mercenary method of importing votes, the country these brave men and women plus many of their ancestors fought for, is now descending into a country overrun with spongers, illegal immigrants and no-go areas, A place where people are frightened to speak out for fear of being labelled ‘racist’

(whatever that actually means!). And monuments of pride and beauty being used as shelters for dossers and beggars, determined to suck as much as possible from a country to which they have contributed absolutely zilch.

The graves of our heroes must be possibly vibrating to the spinning bodies they contain at the wanton waste of their precious sacrifices. I now see that Lord knows how many millions are being spent in an effort to make the Health Service more easily accessible to illegal immigrants. Makes you almost lose the will to live, dunnit!?

Many congrats to my dear friend Sandy on reaching her 60th and many more congrats to both you and him indoors in finally becoming Grandparents.

Suerte!

TWO-CAR parking space in central London goes on sale on average for half a million pounds. Meanwhile, a three-bedroom medieval castle and surrounding grounds in the wilds of Scotland recently went on sale for a similar price.

Hmm, a parking space or a castle? A no-brainer you’d think, but nonetheless yet again demonstrates that Britain’s capital is now a playground for the super-rich.

In fact, London’s already become a city of two halves: the poor and the mega-rich. And by mega-rich, you know who I mean: the oligarchs, moguls and assorted billionaires from Russia, China, Greece and so on parking their wealth in high-end London real estate.

But now we learn that political and economic instability in some of the world’s largest emerging

stimulus, because of Brazil’s large current account deficit and reliance on foreign capital.

To this group can be added Argentina, in the midst of a currency crisis, and Ukraine, still caught up in political instability.

London and its supercharged real estate is a long-standing bolthole for money fleeing political

and financial upheaval because of the UK’s relative stability and benign property taxes.

However, the subject of foreign property purchase is a political hot potato, with numerous reports of expensive houses and apartments bought solely as investments and lying empty.

Like, for instance, the multi-

million-pound mansions on The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead left unoccupied and clearly falling into decay.

The charity Empty Homes claims there are at least 740 empty properties in London worth £5 million or more, the combined value of which would be enough to fund building more than 10,000 affordable homes.

According to a recent YouGov report commissioned by the housing charity Shelter, 18 million people in the UK suffer from depression as a direct result of unaffordable house prices. Given London’s already worsening situation, shouldn’t this be food for thought for all those panicking politicians desperately throwing out titbits to voters ahead of next year’s General Election?

OPINION & COMMENT

What makes people tick ?

Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

I

AM intrigued by a woman friend. I am mystified by trying to figure out how she ticks and why. Doubtless most men will nod their heads and mutter: “Been there, mate.”

Not so fast! Here we have a perfectly unremarkable woman yet her sole ambition, from the moment she was born, was to spend as much of her life as possible on the sea or in it.

Her single-mindedness brought her a life of underwater exploration in the most exotic locations in the world. There does not seem to be any plausible explanation for such a phenomenon.

It is easier to dismiss compulsion than figure out a reason for it. She is hardly alone in an obsession that excludes all else.

Throughout history, some men and women, for no apparent reason, become fixated by an obsessional pursuit of one kind or another. All rational explanation is considered but nothing adds up. To

UNDERWATER EXPLORATION: Single-mindedness led a friend to exotic locations. give such matters thought is whimsical and best left to deep thinkers.

Interestingly, most great composers were adamant that they had been singled out by God to do his work.

Certainly, Beethoven was born to a chorister father but as a musician he was far from alone in a time and country where a career in music was perfectly routine.

To a condescending prince, arguably the world’s greatest composer, said: “What you are, you are by accident of

birth: what I am, I am by myself. There are and there will be a thousand princes.

There is only one Beethoven.”

Leaving aside the single-minded pursuit of wealth, which in most cases is simply a matter of theft by other means, education has little bearing on the kind of human achievement that enriches our lives.

The chattering and political classes benefit from the best education money can buy yet in life tend to be underachieving parasitical dullards. On the

A good start in life...

How many of your personal values and beliefs do you think you have picked up from your parents?

STREET TALK one off and one in the wash! My parents also taught me to be honest, something I don’t think many people worry about any more, as well as being hardworking and self sufficient.”

Estelle Mitchell

Sarah Drane, Director of the Purple Cake Factory marketing company in Mallorca, said: “While my parents can be credited for a very strong foundation of what’s right and true in life (my father was a headmaster – you can imagine), most values and beliefs are picked up when you’re old enough to question the world, to learn from strong role models, to read books with more depth than chick lit, and eventually leave behind values that you once championed, and embrace new ones.

As a writer, I am terribly inquisitive. I am also very easily swayed, so my learning curve won’t plateau for a long time.”

Danny B of Frankies Bar in Vera Playa, Almeria, picked up a lot of values from his parents. He said: “They are sporty and that definitely passed on to me, along with the resilience needed for JASON: Work sport and seeing things through to hard, nothing the finish. Hard work is something is for free they always taught me and I’ve taken that into adulthood as well

other hand, there are those who, despite disadvantages that make most of us shudder, accomplish much that takes our breath away.

Whatever field of human achievement we examine, be it music, art, theatre, creativity, invention, manufacturing, the originator was rarely driven by the pursuit of wealth. Intriguingly, with few exceptions, the men and women who bestowed their timeless gifts on the human race were born into poverty and in most cases died destitute.

Other than in book form there could never be space enough to list the names, let alone the achievements, of such outstanding personalities. In all fields of creativity, art, music in its myriad forms, exploration, science, sport; wherever we look, we find greatness thrust upon the shoulders of men and women whose family or personal backgrounds are singularly unremarkable.

I can only ruminate as to the reasons why. I do so over a glass of wine.

However, I am still looking for an answer. If you have it, write it down on a postcard. I look forward to giving it my attention. as good manners and politeness.”

Marina Lopez, from Eurochange in Benidorm, said she has inherited most of her beliefs and values from her parents. “I think 90 per cent of my beliefs are from my parents, I just dropped the religion part.

But behaviour is mostly from them and they are values I would want to pass down to my children,” she said.

Jason Hutchinson from Airbox agrees: “A lot of my values have come from my parents and we share the same ideal that you have to work hard, nothing is for free.

That is something I have passed down to my children, making them earn that extra bit of pocket money by doing chores around the house.”

Life and courage an inspiration to us all IT was with sadness that we heard Lynda Bellingham had died after a long fight with cancer. The press release said she died peacefully in her husband’s arms, and for that we can be grateful.

Lynda was given an OBE for her work with charities, and here in Spain she was Patron of Samaritans in Spain for several years. She began as Patron almost at the inception of Samaritans in Spain when it began as Costa Blanca Samaritans. She remained as Patron until just a few years ago when her work commitments became overwhelming and she felt she could no longer give the time she felt the organisation deserved. She became Patron

of the Samaritans in Spain because, as she said, it offered a listening ear to people when they really needed it.

Lynda’s own personal courage was manifest in her determined fight against cancer, dealing with the chemotherapy that was, as she said, so strong her body was protesting.

Her personal decision to end the therapy in November and to hopefully have one last Christmas with her family was preempted by her sudden death. But even through all the pain, Lynda took time out to pre-record a farewell appearance on Loose Women where she told the world to grasp everything, to not be afraid and to enjoy all we can

from our lives.

What a profound message to take into our lives. Lynda had this courage, but for some that courage eludes them and they need support.

Some find it in family and friends, others in religion or work, but for a few these are not an option. If you feel in this position it would be a fitting tribute to Lynda and her courage, as well as a courageous thing for you to do for yourself to contact the Samaritans in Spain on 902 88 35 35. They also offer a dropin centre at Punta Marina shopping centre and email support on pat@samaritans inspain.com.

Her passing is a sad day, especially for Samaritans in

A message from Samaritans in Spain on the passing of Lynda Bellingham, OBE

TRIBUTE: Lynda was Patron of Samaritans in Spain for many years.

Spain, but her life and courage is an inspiration to us all, and let us take that message forward.

Thank you, Lynda, for all the love, courage and fun that you brought into all our lives.

Meson Casa Orta - well worth the trip for a typical Andalucian experience Viva Marbella...

With

Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio COOKING with love is the motto of Meson Casa Orta, but that’s the understatement of the year. When you step foot inside this bar, nestled in a quaint side street in Estepona, you are immediately transported into the heart of Andalucía by the family photographs, flying fish, lobsters, fishing nets, paintings and pottery that adorn the ceilings and walls.

The array and selection of tapas, fresh boletus mushrooms, peppers and olives will make your mouth water and you won’t be disappointed. Owner and Chef Diego watches over his clients and every last detail of every dish with the same love and dedication he has watched over his family since but a child himself.

Growing up in the countryside of a very different Spain, Diego was one of seven

DIEGO AMUEDO: Owner and chef.

MESON CASA ORTA: In Estepona.

children and the first to go to school instead of working in the fields. Thanks to his parents being appointed as caretakers of a prominent Cortijo when he was five meant Diego would leave his family and live with his aunt in the capital city of Sevilla to have what his older siblings hadn’t; an education.

By the age of 15, Diego was ready to put

what he’d learnt into practice but not from his school books, rather the gastronomic flair he’d picked up from his grandmother and aunt with whom he shared a passion for cooking.

Even during his obligatory 18 months in the military service, Diego found himself in the kitchen, first as cook in the army and then as chef for the top-ranking Navy

officers who preferred “dining with Diego.”

A lifetime of flavours welcomes you at Meson Casa Orta with its incomparable menu, featuring snails in an almond and boletus mushroom sauce, pickled aubergines, pigs trotter stew, oxtail, tripe with chickpea, clams, the most amazing ham or salmon croquettes to mention but a few; all home-made and all made with a love you can truly taste.

Even if you don’t live in the area it’s still worth making the trip to one of the most typical Andalucian restaurants that you can find, located in Calle Rocio Jurado in Estepona (corner Calle Lozano), open daily for lunch and dinner, except Tuesdays.

No matter when you go, you’ll always get a warm, family welcome from Diego, his wife Francisca and their daughter Desiré.

Diego also has two other children who have started their own family businesses and a brother who is one of the most famous Flamenco singer-songwriters in Spain; but that’s another story!

TOP 10 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT CATS Cats are fascinating animals and are some of the most popular pets in the world. Here is a list of 10 interesting cat facts for all cat lovers out there: 1. Researchers are not 100 per cent sure just how exactly cats purr. Some vets believe they purr by vibrating vocal folds located deep in their throats. To be able to do this, a muscle in their larynx opens and closes the air passage approximately 25 times per second.

2. As weird as it may sound, a cat’s eyesight is simultaneously better and worse than humans’. It is better because cats can indeed see in much dimmer light and their peripheral view is wider than the average person’s. However, it is worse because they do not see colour as well as humans do. Researchers believe grass appears red to cats.

A parent’s worst nightmare BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com

Published by British author Michelle Kelly in 2014, When I Wasn’t Watching tells the story of every parent’s worst nightmare.

Lucy and Ethan Randall’s son Jack is abducted and murdered by teenager Terry Prince.

A moment of distraction that not only rips the family apart but also destroys the Randall’s marriage. Haunted

by the past, Lucy is left to battle her grief and raise her other son alone.

When Prince walks free and another child goes missing, Lucy cannot shake the suspicion that her son’s killer has struck yet again and joins forces with the same officer who found Jack’s body to bring the culprit to justice.

Author Michelle Kelly also

wrote The Virgin Courtesan and The Rake of Glendir.

Just Joking A gorilla walks into a bar and says: “A scotch on the rocks, please.” The gorilla hands the bartender a €10 bill.

The bartender thinks to himself: “This gorilla doesn’t know the prices of drinks,” and gives him 15 cents change.

The bartender says: “You know, we don’t get too many gorillas in here.”

The gorilla replies: “Well, at €9.85 a drink, I ain’t coming back, either.”

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

6. Though the average cat will lap up a saucer of milk like there is no tomorrow, the fact is that they can become lactose-intolerant. After weaning, their ability to digest lactose reduces, which means that milk is not necessary in a cat’s diet.

7. Domestic cats love to play, especially kittens, who just love to play fight and chase toys. Vets believe that play fighting among kittens helps them practise and learn skills necessary for hunting and fighting.

8. Warmer temperatures and shorter winters resulting from climate change could eventually lead to an increase in cat populations, given the fact that cats are warm weather breeders. In 2007, pet adoption organisation Pets Across America warned that larger numbers of kittens were popping up in shelters across the US, which they attributed to longer summers.

3. How many cats are just too many cats? Well, a single pair of cats and their offspring could in theory produce a whopping total of 420,000 kittens in just seven years. The average litter size is three to five kittens, but double-digit litters are not unheard of.

SKETCHBOOK PRO free. Autodesk's painting and drawing app has been tuned for Honeycomb-toting tablets, helping you sketch on-screen. Professionals may get most out of it, but the app is fun and rewarding even for less artistic Android owners.

4. The average cat spends two thirds of every day sleeping. In other words, a nine-year-old cat has been awake for only three years of its life.

5. During the Spanish Inquisition, Pope Innocent VIII (1432–1492) condemned cats as evil and thousands of them were burned alive. The decision backfired though, as the widespread killing of cats resulted in an unforeseen explosion of the rat population, which, in turn, exacerbated the effects of the Black Death.

PLAYTIME: Domestic cats, especially kittens, love to play fight and chase toys.

9. Whilst cat owners should not hold their breath for a hit song from their cat any time soon, the truth is that cats have the ability to make over 100 different sounds. This stands in stark contrast to dogs, since they can only make about 10 different vocalisations.

10. Cats have 32 muscles that control their outer ears. Humans, in contrast, have only six.

Boggled How many English words can you find in the Boggled grid, according to the following rules?

The letters must be adjoining in a ‘chain’. They can be adjacent horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Words must contain at least four letters and may include singular and plural or other derived forms.

No letter may be used more than once within a single word, unless it appears twice.

No vulgarities or proper nouns are permitted.

Olive oil can reverse symptoms of heart disease EATING a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil could help reverse symptoms which can lead to heart disease.

Whilst the Mediterranean diet has long since been praised for its healthy properties and benefits, a new study found people who followed a diet of fruit, vegetables, fish and wholegrains, with either added olive oil or nuts, reduced their obesity and blood glucose levels, which helps reduce heart disease.

Following a diet classed as ‘low fat’ did not have the same effect.

The Spanish researchers studied nearly 5,800 men and

participants divided into three groups.

One group ate a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra virgin olive oil.

The second ate a Mediterranean diet with added nuts, and a third group ate a low-fat diet.

The researchers found both that groups who followed the Mediterranean diets decreased their obesity and blood sugar levels.

Sixty-four per cent of participants had metabolic syndrome at the start of the study with more than a quarter no longer showing symptoms of the condition after following the Mediterranean diet.

Experts now say crash diets work DESPITE the ‘slow and steady’ approach being favoured by nutritionists for people wanting to lose weight and keep it off, experts now say that crash diets do work and could be just as effective.

Research published in The Lancet medical journal now seems to contradict that earlier advice of losing weight gradually.

A study was carried out of 200 obese adults with half following a 12-week rapid weight loss plan and the other half a gradual 36-week plan. Four out of five crash dieters reached their target weight, compared with just half of those dieting more slowly. The study found that the crash dieters were no more likely to put weight back on with both groups regaining around 71 per cent of what they had lost within three years.

Good Korma coming your way WHAT do you look for when you go for a curry? Well, for me it has got to be the surroundings and obviously, the food!

For many years I have been eating in the same curry house in Benalmadena Costa, until recently I discovered Korma.

I suppose a lot of people like the convenience of having an average Indian on their doorstep and might be afraid to try somewhere new, especially in these days when they are so expensive! Normally we would have the same dishes: Tarka Dal, Lamb Korma, Peshwari naan, garlic naan with two chapatis, mushroom rice, maybe a Jalfrezi or a Bombay mix grill (it depends on my wife’s mood!).

This would normally set me back around €50 or €60. So to try somewhere new and for it not to be good would be a complete waste of money.

Problem solved! Korma in Riviera del Sol has to be one of the best Indian restaurants that I have ever eaten in. The food is outstanding and the prices aren’t

bad either. I have to drive from Benalmadena to Riviera but I tell you that it’s well worth it, even with the speed cameras!

They have a home delivery service around the area and even to La Cala and Cabopino. The staff are always smiling and every time I’ve been, they’ve offered me a free pint of draft beer while I waited. Heaven for me!

KORMA: Rauf and his friendly team.

But let me get to the food. As I’ve mentioned, I always order the same things but after around the third time visiting I felt brave and decided to order something slightly different.

Jogan Rosh?

Never heard of it before but what the hell, let’s give it a go! It was absolutely beautiful and that’s something

coming from me!

The Tarka Dal was the perfect texture: not too

watery and the spice was just right. The rice was fresh (I could tell by the mushrooms) and the lamb just melted in my mouth. It was like I had found what I had been looking for all this time.

Even better is that when I stay away from home, they have a new restaurant in El Rosario so they will deliver closer to Marbella for me! What more could you ask for?

FOOD & DRINK

PERFECT FOOD: You will never forget the Korma taste.

So let’s get to the ratings: Food 10 out of 10; Location 8 out of 10; Parking 10 out of 10; Service 9 out of 10; Price 8 out of 10. That’s an average score of 9 out of 10 which is not bad at all.

I recommend this week that everyone take a trip down to see Rauf and his team at Korma and you will never forget that taste - the one you’ve been trying to find for years!

THE biggest reason for pet euthanasia is dog behaviour. Is it incurable disease? Injury? The truth is more companion animals are euthanised for behaviour problems than for any other reason. Some animals are euthanised as they are aggressive and dangerous, but many are euthanised for behaviour problems that could have been avoided.

My main goal is to raise awareness among dog owners in order to prevent

www.euroweeklynews.com

Behaviour problems behaviour problems.

One of the biggest problems I see is that people underestimate how much time caring for a dog requires. Many dogs do not have all of their needs met,

and many are underexercised. Unfortunately, since crate training became popular, the crate has sometimes been used as a place to stow the dog rather than being used as the housebreaking tool it was meant to be. Many dogs spend far too much time in their crates.

Another problem people have with dogs is a basic lack of manners. Because they have not been taught manners, many dogs engage in undesirable activities, such as jumping up on people and not coming when called. When people take the time to educate themselves about the needs of their pet, behaviour issues such as these can be prevented.

If bad behaviour continues for some time, pet owners attribute very human characteristics to the dog, as if the pet is engaging in the unwanted activity on purpose.

However, their pet is not defecating in the house or digging up the garden to exact retribution.

One of the best ways to avoid behaviour problems before they start is to enrol in a dog training class early, ideally when the dog is a young puppy. These classes not only teach the dog but teach you many things you are not aware of.

some tips on how to get started Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner

By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.

NOVEMBER is a good month for planting most trees.

The exceptions being semi-frost tender ones within a frost belt where planting should be delayed until after the last frosts next spring, and dryrooted fruit trees that are sometimes available in early spring with all their natural roots intact and untrimmed to fit them into containers. But the latter are not widely available here in Spain.

The reasons for planting now are as follows: • The weather is cooler • The soil is hopefully easier to dig after autumn rains • For the same reason one can knock support posts in to a good depth • Deciduous trees have lost their leaves and the sap has run down • Citrus trees are sprouting after slow growth during the hot summer months • Evergreens are less likely to dry out and die back • Roots will start to grow and spread quicker than spring planted ones.

Selecting trees Look out for trees with a good rootball.

Also look for a good basic 360 degree framework of branches.

There may only be four at this stage but you don’t want them all leaning one way; this can result in a

REWARDING: Home-grown fruit from your own tree. lopsided mature tree.

Finally, buy a tree with a trunk that looks in balance to the embryo head of branches. Avoid trees that show signs of damage or that have not been weeded or watered for weeks. Watch out for split bark that could allow beetles and fungi to enter.

How to plant If you have rich loamy soil, dig a hole as deep and wide as the rootball of the tree. Fill the hole with water and let it drain away. Clean out any soil that has fallen to the bottom of the hole and then slide the rootball carefully into the hole.

Now knock in a stake two thirds the height of the trunk and secure the tree with a non-rubbing tie. A piece of wire threaded through a length of rubber tubing is ideal.

If you have a poor, heavy clay or light sandy

soil, dig a hole two or three times the depth and width of the rootball. Fill the hole with water and let it drain.

Then line the bottom of

the hole with well-rotted compost or a 1:3 mix of well-rotted manure and soil, firming the infill as you go. Fill until the

rootball sits in the hole with the top earth at the level of the surrounding soil. This is especially important if you have

purchased a grafted tree.

Knock in a stake and then place the tree in the hole and secure to the post so that it is supported while you infill the hole.

Infill the hole with the same material used to line the base. Firm layer by layer until the soil is just above the surrounding soil to allow for the inevitable sinking after watering in the tree.

In both cases it helps trees to survive first and second year drought periods if you mix some TerraCottem into the soil at the bottom of the hole.

After planting give all new trees a good soaking so that moisture seeps down to the bottom of the rootball.

Barcelona City Council buys two buildings to house municipal offices TWO properties owned by the Generalitat regional government in the Can Batllo and Via Laietana have been bought by Barcelona City Council for €30 million.

The buildings will be used for city authority offices and equipment.

Deputy Mayor Sonia Recasens stressed the ‘strategic’ importance of this action, allowing the town hall to take over the central warehouse – with a surface area of 21,830 square metres - in the Can Battlo precinct, in SantsMontjuic district.

The building will be conditioned as the base for the area’s municipal offices, which are currently spread over five separate rented properties.

BARCELONA: Via Laietana is one of the locations for the city council’s offices.

Official sources said this measure will allow a yearly saving of €5.5 million, while preparing the building for use will

cost approximately €40 million.

The other building, sited at numbers 8 and 10 Via Laietana, in what used to

be the courts, has a total surface area of 10,853 square metres and will be for ‘administrative use’.

Andalucia records most home sales

THE Andalucia region saw the highest amount of house sales in the country during August.

A total of 4,765 transactions took place, according to data released by the National Institute of Statistics, more than 1,000 more than second- placed Catalonia.

However, housing sales in the country were down by 1.1 per cent in August

compared with the same month last year, the first year-on-year decline registered following five months of growth.

There was a total of 23,525 property transactions registered in Spain.

Although the number of sales of new homes in Spain was down in August, there was a 15.2 per cent rise in the number of sales of second-hand houses.

Lowest quarterly resale price fall in four years DURING the third quarter of 2014, Spain registered an average price of secondhand housing of €1,647 per square metre, 0.5 per cent less than in the previous quarter, giving the lowest fall recorded since the beginning of 2010, property portal fotocasa.es reported.

The quarterly decline during the second quarter was -3.3 per cent.

Following a run of 28 quarters of declines, they are now easing.

Beatriz Toribio, head of research for fotocasa.es explained that price

declines for Spanish property are slowing, which makes homeowners reluctant to lower the asking-price for their property. However, she insists that the changes have not yet ended as prices continue to decline but at a slower rate.

Regional differences are apparent, with some large cities seeing prices rise this year.

Year-on-year for the month of September second-hand house prices fell 6.5 per cent which is reported to be one of the ‘softest’ adjustments of the

last five years.

Since resale price declines peaked in April of 2007, the average accumulated decline is 44.2 per cent, with La Rioja, Navarra and Aragon registering higher drops.

THE rules for voting at community meetings throughout Spain are strictly laid out and governed by what is termed The Law of Horizontal Property.

However, communities have been known on occasion to hold a vote that does not strictly comply with this law.

PROPERTY

www.euroweeklynews.com

Secret votes at community meetings The two most common exceptions are when a large number of owners live abroad and prefer to vote without holding a general meeting, voting by email, letter or fax. The other is where the owners

do not want the details of the vote made public, that is to say, hold a secret vote.

The first exception does not follow the law insofar as there is no required meeting of owners to discuss the issues concerned before taking the final vote; a point considered to be essential in the eyes of Spanish law in order for an agreement to be reached in a proper legal manner.

The second exception, the secret vote is where the owners write their decision on paper which is seen only by the administrator or person chairing the meeting, who then reveals if the motion is carried or not, without stipulating who voted for or against.

It is understandable that some votes might be best served in secret, if only to avoid creating tension between owners when voting on sensitive matters.

For example, the community needs approval

to take legal action against one of the owners or deny permission for a project or building work proposed by some owners but resisted by others. It could also be for the election of a president or a committee member where there are several candidates and voting for one but not the other could create resentment.

Regardless of what owners choose, the law still requires at a meeting of owners that the minutes record which owners vote in favour and which owners vote against the agreements approved or denied.

In addition the law requires that the minutes should also reflect the individual owners’ coefficients (percentage vote) as a way of

www.intercala.com

proving that the agreement was reached in a legal manner.

Article 19.2, of the Horizontal Property Law is quite clear about this and subsequent court decisions agree that it is compulsory and any records in which it is not stated which way owners voted with their relevant coefficients, means such a vote would be considered to be void.

The normal procedure to get around this required condition is to only record in the minutes the total number of votes for and against, including the relevant coefficients, without actually mentioning the voters by name.

It should be understood, regardless of what owners decide, the law states

correct procedure is compulsory and must be followed and should just one of the owners at the meeting want the vote to be open and public, then it has to be so.

Under Spanish law every owner has the right to know how all the other owners voted and if the situation requires it, whether a double majority of both the owners and their coefficients had been reached. However, equally important to understand is, provided all the owners agree that the vote is to be made in secret that this agreement prevents any owner later contesting in court something which was originally done with their consent and so the secret vote is protected and remains valid.

We the solicitors for Intercala administration recommend readers of our monthly column to seek competent advice in all matters relating to the law.

TUNNING Marbesa mansion with uninterrupted sea views - bought for 1.5m Euros - now available for a bargain price of 1 million Euros.

This elegant villa measures 578m2 (+80m2 enclosed terrace) on a plot of 1,170m2. There are four double bedrooms spread across three floors. The ground floor of the property can be easily converted into a selfcontained studio apartment with separate entrance and a private garden, if so desired, making it ideal for staff or as a guest suite, thus giving the owner five bedrooms in total.

Enter the property through the secure walled garden, across a covered porch area, through to the spacious entrance hallway with marble staircase. An enormous open plan living room/dining area offers lots of light thanks to the abundance of windows and sliding patio doors leading out to the large covered veranda, complete with retractable blinds for additional shade during the long, hot summer months.

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.

Toyota hits 9m European landmark ON the heels of the Paris Motor Show, Toyota announced a new milestone for its European operations with the production of the ninemillionth car built in its European region.

Many Toyota drivers in Europe may not be aware of it, but there is a good chance that their Toyota

was built in Europe. In fact, today, two out of three vehicles sold on the continent are made by Toyota employees in one of the six vehicle plants and three powertrain plants located in Portugal, the UK, Turkey, France, Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia.

Didier Leroy, President and CEO of Toyota Motor

Europe, announced the milestone at the Paris Motor Show. He said: “Toyota Europe is celebrating this month a new milestone with the production of its ninemillionth car in Europe. And I am happy to say that we do so in excellent health,” referring to the strong profit results posted in the past fiscal year by Toyota’s Europe region and three consecutive years of sales growth for the company on the continent, with plans to increase sales further in calendar year 2014.

“At Toyota, we have a long tradition of building locally what we sell locally.

Recently, we have also expanded our exports

First production plant in Portugal opened in 1971. outside Europe based on the competitiveness of our European operations. We are committed to keeping production in Europe by bringing technology like hybrid and management innovations that enable us to continuously make our

manufacturing plants globally competitive,” added Leroy.

European manufacturing started back in 1971 with the establishment of the first plant - Toyota Caetano Portugal S.A. - where the very first European-made

Corolla was produced.

Today, 43 years later, nine European manufacturing plants located in seven European countries, representing an investment of more than €8 billion, are producing an extensive range of vehicles for European customers as well as some exports to the US market.

European design has gained more autonomy from Japan and new models are tailored for the taste of European customers – new designs are highly distinctive, edgy and eye-catching like the new generation AYGO, the new Yaris, or the CH-R Concept revealed in Paris earlier this month.

First in Spain for EWN reader

IKE most expats I have owned many cars during my life, ranging from Cadillacs, Mercedes, BMWs, Jaguars, Fords, Vauxhalls, Citroens, even a 12-seater Luton Bedford Dormobile. I also had a 1929 white Bugatti replica kit car. My very first car was a Hillman Minx Californian.

However, out of all the cars I owned, my favourite was a secondhand 1973 Citroen DS23 Palace, which I purchased for about ₤500 in 1977. Most Citroen owners know that it was an extremely comfortable vehicle having hydraulic suspension. The four-wheel independent suspension provided a self-levelling system.

It was more advanced than most automobiles of its time with its sleek design, swivelling headlamps and fingertip semi-automatic clutch rod conveniently placed above

In a one-off feature reader Gerry Cannon talks about the cars he has owned and how he ‘inadvertently’ became the first owner in Spain to get the new-look Citroen DS3 Cabrio (according to his car dealer)

CITROEN FAN: Gerry with the DS3 Cabrio. the steering wheel. It even had a starting handle!

Regrettably, I sold that Citroen with my cherished numberplate MRC123 (Mr C, as my surname is Cannon) in 1979 for only ₤650.

I recently fancied buying another one with low mileage. However, I was shocked to see a 1973

model being sold for £24,950… talk about inflation!

No way would I pay that money as there was a good chance that such an old vehicle would eventually need repair. I noticed that Citroen had brought out an unusually shaped compact five-seat vehicle, namely the DS3 Cabrio, with a

concertina opening roof.

I ordered a 6 e-HDi 90 Airdream ETG6 diesel automatic model with many extras including Sat Nav from Citroen in Estepona.

After haggling for a discount with Carlos the salesman, we eventually bought it for €21,699. I

was somewhat disappointed that although it had parking sensors, Citroen did not have the option of a reverse camera to see behind the car in the Sat Nav monitor.

According to Carlos, the engine size I purchased was very economical as the diesel version would get a whopping 78mpg (3.6 litres per 100km).

I would have preferred a manual shift although my wife wanted an automatic.

At the end of June, Carlos contacted me to say that the model we had chosen was not obtainable as a newer version having

more features was to replace it, although it would increase the selling price.

Yet as I had already signed a contract, I could buy it for the same price as the one I had ordered.

To my delight Citroen added a rear view camera.

Carlos told us that we would have the first latest model in Spain, and the car arrived a couple of weeks ago. To my surprise it had both automatic and manual shift also ‘Start and Go’.

That’s whenever the car stops, like at traffic lights or in heavy traffic, the engine stops and starts again as soon as the gas pedal is operated!

It’s sad to think that now I am 79 years old, it will most likely be my very last car, although I will still have happy memories of my old Citroens... unless of course I win the lottery and buy that secondhand red 1973 Citroen DS23 and can afford to pay £24,950!

The Russians are coming - to park IT’S a fact and getting to understand them is a real problem, says Michael Mifsud, a Costa entrepreneur. Luckily, they speak some English, in the main, but they know what they want and pitch stubbornly for the right price.

Attempts, as always, by members of the service sector to take advantage, have made them bare their teeth at rogues on a number of occasions but it does not take them long to find a straight and efficient lawyer after some lamentable experience.

The problem with the coast is that fancy marketing and designer webs full of visual lies make the good and the bad stand side by side. All too often, the ridiculous prices offered by the pirates are too tempting, particularly for those who opt for the cheap and are not too worried about the state of the hole they put them into.

What can one say? Simply that anything under €3 a day for parking at the airport is probably not going to end up in a secure

TOPIC: Discussing the multi-storey car park compound at or near the airport.

It will go just anywhere by transporter or irresponsible teenage drivers who might, if you are lucky, not take them and their families, as has happened, to Madrid and back.

Over Easter all the alleyways at the airport and nearby San Julian, were filled with cars left out in the open unattended day and night, yet many of the good car parks were left half empty.

Why? Because these people know that they can take most of the business away if they offer ridiculously low rates.

The savings as opposed to going to genuine suppliers, during Easter, were as little as €10 for a fortnight, but hundreds just fell for it.

A genuine car park has to charge a little more, at least. It has staff permanently on duty, good, qualified drivers,

understandable voices on the telephone and secure, alarmed compounds to ensure cars are safe and ready for when their owners come back.

One company managed, for one reason or another, to corner the market with web pages that mysteriously always came first on Google.

Whatever anyone did and however good the optimisation of their own pages, (according to a

group of car park owners), they never got anywhere near the top 10. Investigations revealed that all the key words of all the competitors, including photographs of their depots, were on these pirate pages. Well paid Google ads ensured they stayed there.

So much for 21st century balanced market forces! The lesson, it would seem, is to take care with the glossy car-parking web pages guaranteeing indoor space for anything under €10 a day. Working out the good from the bad is as easy as chatting at length with the car park managers.

The Russians will no doubt gear their investments to their own nationals as already happens with other foreign investors and the supply will without doubt dwindle to the point of scarcity if bargainhunting becomes the order of the day.

Book your Christmas car hire early to avoid high prices or even no availability!

IT’S never too early to plan the perfect Christmas. The reasons are countless, taking into consideration the many details you need to take care of in a dynamic season when prices tend to blow up.

Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year when many expats, not only from Spain, but also from Cyprus, France and Portugal, are planning precious moments with their family and friends.

As many of you will return to the UK, and want to rent a car, we need to remember that car hire services are caught up, too, in the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

Indigo Car Hire, a British company specialising in UK car rental, which has been servicing expats in Spain for the past 12 years, provides a few tips for saving money on Christmas car hire.

TEAM OF EXPERTS: Indigo Car Hire staff are there to help you get the best deal.

• Keep in mind the three main reasons why car hire prices change: availability, seasonality and the proximity to the start of the rental date.

• The proximity to the start of the rental date is probably one of the most important tips.

If you leave this to the last minute not only might you get highly increased prices but also the unpleasant surprise of no availability.

Another great tip from the car hire experts in the UK, is to look for alternative car hire

venues rather than the big UK airports. Hiring a car from such a location can make a huge saving on the cost of the car hire Matt Carter, Reservations Manager at Indigo Car Hire, added his view: “The most

important advice we can give those who wish to hire a car during the festive period is to ‘Book Early!’.

“Not only do we have some fantastic festive deals for you but it also means you will not be left without a vehicle at a time when you may need it most.

“Christmas car hire deals are right here at Indigo Car Hire, offering you a wide range of services and facilities.”

Christmas Car Hire with a Debit Card; Christmas Car Hire for Young and Senior Drivers; and Low Deposit Christmas Car Hire, are just a few of the deals specifically tailored to all of your needs by Indigo Car Hire.
