BURNT-OUT: All that is left of the warehouse on the Camino de Coin.
Flames destroy car warehouse
A WAREHOUSE for second-hand cars in Mijas Costa has been destroyed by fire. Emergency services were informed at about 3am on Tuesday, November 25, and two fire engines from the Mijas brigade rushed to the scene on the Camino de Coin road close to the Victimas del Terrorismo roundabout. As the Mijas crews battled the blaze it soon became apparent they needed help and units from Fuengirola and Benalmadena fire services were called in.
The fuel-laden cars were particularly hazardous, with the danger of toxic fumes from fuel, oil and the car interiors ever present. The fire was finally declared under control at 6am although firefighters continued to work through the day to dampen down hot spots. The premises were completely destroyed and a number of cars that had been parked outside were crushed by falling debris. No one was hurt in the incident.

Christmas fair STREET ART: Using abandoned buildings, footpaths and building facades.
‘Spanish Banksy’ wowing art world
S
TREET artist known as the ‘Spanish Banksy’ has been wowing the art world with his unique and contemporary works that have been appearing on buildings and walls around the world. Pejac, who blends visual metaphors with just a hint of irony, has been gathering much attention thanks to his incredible drawings that are Banksylike in style, yet retain their own identity. The Santander-born street artist uses abandoned buildings, footpaths and building facades to highlight his view of the world. While British street artist Banksy became famous for his graffiti that often borders on the political, Pejac’s streetscapes have been described as more ‘poetic,’ and his work has

cropped up in cities such as Istanbul, Paris, Moscow and London. Comparisons to Banksy are inevitable given the style of street art and the urban canvasses that Pejac uses, but his ability to blend his work into their surroundings using brushes, pencils, acrylic paint and sandpaper sets his work apart from the mainly stencil-and-spray paint arresting visuals of the mysterious guerrilla artist Banksy. It’s rumoured the Saatchi Gallery and Greenpeace have taken an interest in Pejac’s work, meaning we may hear and see more from this creative Spanish street artist, but in the meantime we can continue to enjoy his artistic footprint on the streets and walls of Spain and further afield.

A note from the
Editor
Countdown to the season begins T
HIS weekend will see the majority of towns and cities across Spain adopt a more festive look with the annual switch-on of the Christmas lights for the build-up to the holidays. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only four short weeks away as once again it seems to be sneaking up on us out of nowhere. It only seems like yesterday when we were all still enjoying the sunshine and beaches, and now we can look forward to Christmas fairs, office Christmas parties and braving the shopping crowds in the search for gifts - not to mention the mulled wine, turkey and mince pies. Many expats head home to their own countries for the Christmas season, but there is still a huge amount of us who stay here and enjoy all that Spain has to offer for
the holidays. It might not be as cold and it might be a bit strange to see bars and restaurants open on Christmas Day, but the season here in Spain is every bit as enjoyable as it is back home. We’re getting into the Christmas spirit here at EWN, and are looking forward to the build-up to our favourite time of year.
Happy Thanksgiving Finally, we’d like to send out a Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends in Spain who will be enjoying their turkey and pumpkin pie this Thursday. In honour of the day, we’ve put together a list of interesting facts about Thanksgiving in our Time Out section that we hope you’ll enjoy.

Eviction protest
MEMBERS of a protest group called MarbellaSan Pedro 22M held peaceful demonstrations in three Marbella banks on Monday to demand an end to evictions. It took place after 11am and involved two branches of Banco Popular and one of Banco Santander in Ricardo Soriano and Severo Ochoa avenues. Group members burst into the banks carrying
flags and signs with the motto ‘Stop Desahucios’ (Stop Evictions) and shouting slogans including. “Nobody without a home,” “No empty homes,” “Roof rights” and “Why do all the governors stamp on us?” Protestors spent many minutes sitting on the floor inside the banks while staff members invited them to leave. Leaflets were also distributed amongst the
shocked workers and clients outlining the group’s activities. The three protests ended without incident, although police officers did arrive and question protestors at one of the banks. Juan Jose Muñoz, a SAT trades union member, who took part, said: “There were more than sufficient reasons to take these surprise actions to complain about
evictions: more than 26,000 families in Spain were evicted from their homes by banks during the first half of 2014.”

Heapy spoke to various hoteliers and offered a number of pointers on ways the sector can work to avoid seasonal fluctuations and maintain a high occupancy rate all year round. To this effect, he stressed that public authorities need to increase promotion in the UK of new products to encourage Brits to think about more than just sun and sand: “The Costa during winter brings elderly tourists to mind. Activities to attract younger people need to be promoted like Mallorca has done for cycling enthusiasts.”

Record figures
Winter tourism push
ANDALUCIA saw the greatest increase in international visitors in Spain during October with an extra 11.2 per cent bringing numbers up to 825,000 tourists. According to figures published by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, the province registered a total of 7.7 million foreign tourists from January to October. On a national level, Spain has registered 58.3 million international tourists during the first 10 months of this year, the highest amount ever recorded.
A €17 MILLION plan to promote winter tourism on the Costa del Sol is to be launched next week. The Junta de Andalucia regional government is to launch the programme in an effort to bring to an end the seasonality of the tourism season and attract visitors to the region during the winter months. Fewer tourists during the off-season has seen up to 50 per cent of hotels on the Costa del Sol close between November and February. “This is a very

With predicted results closer than ever, the large amount of foreign residents who may not know they have the right to vote but need to register to do so are being targeted in an attempt to drag in those extra votes that could make a difference. Many towns on the Costa del Sol including Marbella, Fuengirola and Mijas have started campaigns to encourage residents from European countries to register to vote at the May elections. A little known rule means that just being registered on the padron is not sufficient and those who have not voted before must register on the electoral roll at their local town hall before December 30.

The Junta recently restarted the roadworks, which were halted in May 2011, causing protests and the collection of 4,000 signatures by local politicians. Progress on the project, which had an initial budget of â‚Ź13.6 million, is at 75 per cent and although Garcia admitted there had been delays, he said that costs had not increased.

Buyers still prefer second-hand cars MALAGA is the Andalucian province where most second-hand cars are sold. Up to October this year, a total of 48,220 used vehicle sales were registered in the province according to figures from the Automobile Studies Institute (IEA) for the
Federation of Associations of Automobile salesrooms (Faconauto). Although state benefits are available for new car registration, people still seem to choose secondhand cars to buy, even though prices for used cars are on the increase.
Temporary work for the unemployed JOBLESS people in Estepona over the age of 30 are currently being interviewed by the council for temporary work. A total of 207 applications have been received for the 69 six-month contracts the council will be signing on December 1, in an employment project funded by the council and the Junta de Andalucia regional government. Jobs to be done by the chosen workers will include maintenance work, gardening and administrative duties.
An interesting detail is that 52 per cent of used cars sold are more than 10 years old, an 8.6 per cent increase compared to last year. Five to 10-year-old cars make up 25 per cent of those sold and sales are falling, showing that demand is for either very new or very old vehicles while there is less interest in the middle range. The average price for new cars last month was â‚Ź19,850, almost 2 per cent less than in October 2013, according to a report by MSI consulting company. Meanwhile, the average price for used cars in October this year was estimated by coches. net at â‚Ź11,369 and has been on the rise for 15 months.

Malaga workers are poorly paid ONLY 58 per cent of workers in Malaga earn more than this year’s established minimum wage and 53 per cent earn under €1,000 per month. Average earnings per person per year are €3,200 less than the national average. The latest figures from the Hacienda Treasury Ministry for last year
showed that 42 per cent of workers in Malaga reportedly earned less than €645 per month, the minimum established wage for 2014. The increase in parttime and by-the-hour jobs, one of the many effects of the current financial crisis along with salary reductions and seasonal jobs, meant that of the
550,651 Malaga workers who declared their earnings to the taxman last year, 234,800 took home less than the minimum monthly wage. Meanwhile, trades unions report that these figures are partly due to an underground economy in which many companies do not declare everything they pay employees.

Calls to benefit fraud hotline double, thanks to the honest Brits BENEFIT FRAUD: There has been a surge in tip-offs which are now being pursued.
CALLS to the benefit fraud hotline in Spain have doubled since the British Government launched a major advertising campaign during the last week of October to encourage the public to call the hotline if they suspect benefit fraud, and to urge claimants to report changes in their circumstances. The Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) benefit fraud hotline in Spain - 900 55 44 40 - has seen a surge in vital tip-offs that fraud investigators are now pursuing.

Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short term lender. In our weekly column we look at different financial products that Hola Credito offers - this week - a Hola Credito client uses gold and diamonds to pay for a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ holiday.
Hola Credito funds romantic silver wedding HOLA CREDITO is used to working with clients who need short term loans to cover unexpected expenses and emergencies, but it also helps clients who want to purchase something for special occasions and treats. Recently a client decided to sell some old gold and diamond jewellery that he no longer wanted to fund a silver wedding anniversary celebration. “My wife has always wanted to go on a luxury cruise, and now that our children are grown up I thought this would be the perfect time,” he said. “We have had this jewellery just sitting in the bank for the last 10 years, so I thought I would put it to good use, to pay for a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ holiday.” Although most of Puerta Banus based Hola Credito’s business is offering short term loan solutions, it can also offer an efficient way of selling the luxury pieces that clients no longer want. It has a team
of experts who have more than 25 years of experience in assessing jewellery, highend watches, and precious metals and stones, and it is able to offer clients a fast service, and exceptionally good prices. The client emailed Hola Credito with details of the jewellery, and once the team had received the jewellery, assessed its value, and agreed a price, the money was transferred to the client’s bank account. The client commented: “I had already picked out the holiday, so as soon as the money arrived I was able to book it and get ready to pack!” Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) has low overheads so is able to offer very competitive prices to clients who want to sell, as well low interest rates on short term loan deals. Hola Credito is discreet and professional, and has an excellent reputation throughout Spain, there are no arrangement fees, and no hidden extras.
their willingness to call the hotline, is helping investigators to reduce the waste of honest taxpayers’ money on fraudsters. Work and Pensions Minister Mark Harper said: “Hard working taxpayers have had enough of fraudsters taking money which is meant for genuine claimants, which is why we’re seeing so many people taking action by calling the hotline. We know it’s a small minority who commit benefit fraud but I would urge anyone who has suspicions to call or report them online.” Worldwide, someone is reported to benefit fraud hotlines every minute of every working day on average, and in the last year alone nearly 60,000 fraud investigations have been launched. The Government has recovered nearly one billion pounds of wrongly paid benefits in the last year, and has introduced a raft of measures to crack down on people who cheat: • Tough new rules so that 40 per cent of individuals’ benefits can be taken to repay stolen cash on top of any fine or custodial sentence; • Increased penalties from £2,000 to £5,000; • A new £50 civil penalty for claimants who negligently give incorrect information on their claims or fail to report a change in circumstances. If you suspect a benefit cheat, call the hotline on 900 55 44 40 - open 8am to 4pm every weekday in Spain - or report online at www.dwp.gov.uk/benefitthieves-spain.

FAMILY WOMAN: Duchess of Alba with one of her six children.
A farewell to Cayetana
W
ITH the death of the Duchess of Alba, Spain has lost one of its most recognisable figures. To many who only knew her in her later years she was a figure of fun, mainly because of her looks - hippyish frizzy hair, sometimes dyed red, a pasty white complexion and her forthright public pronouncements. But they forget the great influence she had in her younger years as the most titled, and one of the wealthiest, people in Spain. “She dressed like Grace Kelly in those days,” said Sheelagh Tennent, a Scots Irish expat who has lived in Spain for most of her life. “I met her in Granada in 1960 at a Red Cross function. She was very graceful. She was not as beautiful as Grace Kelly, but that was her look and style. And she certainly was good looking in her own right. She was very chic, but then she went rather hippy. “She was a very nice woman, very natural and spoke beautiful English. She loved bull fighting, Flamenco and Sevilla.” The Duchess, who died aged 88 last week after a bout of pneumonia, was never out of the society pages of magazines. She was the darling of the gossip columns, ‘celebrity’ TV shows and newspapers right up to the end of her eventful life. Known as Cayetana de Alba, she was hugely rich, as well as being Spain’s biggest private landowner. The millions she earned from EU farming subsidies were one criticism detractors had of her. In Andalucia
particularly, she was targeted by left wingers for having vast acreages of rural land left uncultivated, while farm workers were left landless. She had palaces throughout the country, including the Palacio de las Dueñas in Sevilla, her main residence, as well as the the Palacio de Liria in Madrid where she was born. Summers were spent at her house in Marbella or another in Ibiza, and she was well known in local society hotspots like the Marbella Club. There too she was known for her grace and charm. “She had time for everyone and was very gracious, she treated everyone with respect, no matter who they were,” said one Marbella society source. The Duchess was married three times. Firstly in 1947, to Luis Martínez de Irujo in what the French newspaper Libération called “the most expensive wedding in the world,” with whom she had six children. He died in 1972 and in 1978 she married former priest Jesus Aguirre who died in 2001. Her relationship with Alfonso Diez, a civil servant 24 years her junior sparked a long running public argument with three of her children. “They don’t want me to marry but they change partners more often than I do,” she said. She married Diez, who survives her as do all her children, in 2011. María del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y Silva, 18th Duchess of Alba, born March 28, 1926; died November 20, 2014.

EMBLEMATIC: Marbella Arch is undergoing restoration.
Much needed repairs begin
THE emblematic arch at the entrance to Marbella, built in 1993 during exmayor Jesus Gil’s time, is undergoing much needed repairs. Marbella Council has started to repair the arch which was becoming dangerous as time and corrosion have rusted the metallic structure and caused the outer stone layers to come unstuck and fall off. Nets were placed under the arch in February to avoid
falling debris hitting passing cars. Works Councillor Javier Garcia explained that the repair work with a budget of â‚Ź90,377 will reinforce the structure then seal the outside layers and is expected to take six weeks. Garcia stressed that the arch, which has become one of the best-known sights in the area, will not be demolished and traffic will only be affected for the first few days.
Looking overseas MOST Spaniards aged between 18 and 30 are looking for work abroad. A study by the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communications revealed six in 10 of those polled were looking away from Spanish shores for jobs. Most of them also felt they would be worse off than their parents with just 29 per cent thinking they would be better off, compared to 43 per cent of Germans. More than 6,000 people from Britain, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Czech Republic and Spain were surveyed, with Spaniards and Italians showing the least confidence in finding a job in their own countries. The report showed 58 per cent of Spanish youths were looking to move abroad, compared to 21 per cent of Germans. Only 40 per cent of Spaniards thought they might find work in keeping with their studies, in sharp contrast to 66 per cent of Germans and 59 per cent of Britons.

Although both groups used tactics such as renting different cars and properties each week under different names, tricks which the leaders learned while forming part of another group disbanded in 2012, the Guardia Civil investigation tracked them down in Benalmadena.

ADANA’s fair raises €6,450
“Our Christmas Fair is the major fundraising event each year,” said Maria Cawsey, President of ADANA. “We receive no central or local government funds to support our work in looking after abandoned, sick and injured dogs from Estepona, Casares and Manilva so we rely on volunteers to run a wide variety of events to raise the funds to pay for food, vet bills, and medicines.” Fair organiser Jayne Fisher said she was so pleased with the response this year from 80 plus stallholders. “With Euro Weekly News sponsoring our event we had more requests for stalls than ever before and we had to disappoint people when all the stalls were taken. We are also grateful to the town hall in Estepona who let us hold the fair and other fundraising events in the Palacio as it is an ideal venue. “Galaxia Play Centre provided the bouncy castle, which is always popular with small children.” This year ADANA took Gusty, Chrissy, Uppa and Rosso to the fair, dogs that have been at the shelter for more than six years and some puppies, all looking for their forever homes. Volunteers were also on hand with Shelter Manager Helen Ellis to talk to people about volunteering. The shelter is cleaned every day and we are always looking for more people to help with this. Once the cleaning is finished then people walk and groom the dogs and socialise the puppies.

Marketing tools: the good, the bad & the plain daft THE YouGov Profiles web app, recently launched by the pollsters YouGov and based on consumer information relating to brands, people and things collected from 190,000 UK YouGov members, allows companies to target markets for their products and services. For you and me, though, it’s an opportunity to see if we fit the profile of stuff we like. For instance, if we’re a Nigella Lawson fan, say, we’ll like suet pudding, Formula 1, Lidl, plus-size brand Ann Harvey and drive a Kia. Wow!

YouGov tool show how over- or under-represented the audience is against each of the items, not the absolute volumes. The actual number of people listing ‘braised endive’ as their favourite dish is probably pretty low amongst the general population, so it wouldn’t take many broadsheet readers indicating they like it to push it into their ‘top 3.’ Similarly, I would imagine the most popular sport for Financial Times readers is rugby or football
by absolute volume, not sailing but there is, apparently, a higher percentage of sailors who read the FT compared with the UK population as a whole. What’s listed in the Profiles are things people do more than the average population. So to generalise: broadsheet readers are more than averagely into intellectual/ cultural pursuits, exotic food, and cricket and have a cat while tabloid readers are more than averagely into slebs, telly and football. Who’d’ve guessed? Now, the frightening thing here is those whose work involves ‘targeting’ will use just this kind of information, woefully daft as it is, to streamline their advertising. A classic case
of why ‘more’ information is not always a good thing. And why we can expect a deluge of endive-related products coming our way this Christmas. It’s also why I take most polls and market research with a huge pinch of salt. I strongly suspect many of those polled are economical with the truth in their responses, trying to impress by exaggerating or making a show of being sophisticated and cultured.

STAT OF WEEK SEPTEMBER’s exports grew by 9.6 per cent compared with 2014. The increase followed disappointing figures for August and was prompted by the depreciation of the euro, the Economy ministry said.
Footballers get a kicking from taxman XABI ALONSO: Being watched.
Pledge from Campofrio after fire disaster CAMPOFRIO pledged to rebuild its Burgos plant, recently destroyed by fire. Owned by Mexican Sigma and the Chinese company WH, Campofrio is Europe’s largest meatprocessing company. Between factory employees and indirect jobs the Burgos fire will affect approximately 2,000 families, but no Campofrio work contracts will be rescinded, the company said. The processing plant whose 890 employees produced an annual 60,000 tons of products has been totally destroyed, together with
an adjoining ham-curing facility which employs 50 workers. A third factory is untouched, but 70 per cent of the 5,000 pigs slaughtered there each day were destined for the ruined module. Campofrio is committed to resuming production in Burgos, company sources emphasised, but they conceded that it was early to guarantee “100 per cent of the present jobs.” At the same time, processing 60,000 tons of products cannot be done with “just a couple of people,” the company added.

Spain means business to Airbus SPAIN’S air traffic will double by 2013, requiring another 1,350 aircraft to meet demand. At present there are 751 aircraft operating in Spain and the increase will call for a $250 billion (€200 billion) investment by both domestic and foreign carriers, predicted aircraft manufacturer Airbus. By 2033, an estimated 50,000
passengers will leave from Madrid and Barcelona each day on intercontinental flights and above all to Latin America, Airbus said. Budget airlines are also great contributors to traffic growth in Spain, the report maintained and short-haul traffic between Spain and the UK has - and will continue to have - the highest market share of low cost carriers.
Since 1996 it was customary for top earners to receive 85 per cent of their salary directly from the club, paying income tax (IRPF) at approximately 52 per cent. The remainder came through an image-rights company on which they paid corporation tax at 30 per cent, bringing savings of hundreds of thousands of euros for players
earning millions. Citing new regulations dating from 2006, Hacienda now claims that as the 15 per cent for the player’s image rights is paid at the market price, this should be liable to 52 per cent IRPF. Hacienda is also homing in on the 10 per cent agents receive from a player’s transfer fee or contract renewal.

Xenophobia undermines unity A RISING tide of xenophobia is undermining Western European unity. Austerity, the threat of a return to recession, service cutbacks, unemployment and inflation combine to fuel a virulent nationalism tearing at the fabric of society. The first manifestations of disquiet are anti-austerity protests sweeping EU capitals and major cities. I said it first: This week international policymakers debated if the US dollar and Euro can compete with rival economies. The effect is aggravated by former trading partners like Russia opting for alternatives and self-sufficiency. Finland is now preparing its economy to withstand the collapse of the Euro. One of eight Baltic states, Finland is not alone in

facing up to the possibility of such a challenge. Europeans should never be economic migrants. However, as the Euro-zone slips back into recession young people face a bleak future. The young ponder greener grass opportunities in faraway countries.
Typically, Estonia has lost 20 per cent of its population. Not all will stay in Europe. In doing so newcomers face growing hostility as they enter job markets that can no longer offer employment to their own nationals. This is where the blue touch paper of xenophobic up-the-drawbridge sentiment creeps in. Growing resentment against immigration in Britain and Germany is well recognised. Fuelled by NATO’s anti-Russian rhetoric there is simmering, anti-Russian sentiment in the Baltic States. These three nations host large Russian ethnic communities as England hosts many of Irish background. Desperate to separate the EU from Russia in order that it becomes more reliant on American trade,
the US provokes anti-Russian feeling. EU anti-Russian sanctions are causing a backlash in Germany, Poland, Spain and France. The French economy, already slipping into recession, will face a bill of nearly €3 billion and the loss of thousands of shipbuilding jobs if, caving in to American pressure, France fails to honour its shipbuilding obligations to Russia. In what is now Ukraine, the birthland of Russia, the Russian language is the most used. As I write, frontier posts and barbed wire walls are being erected. Imagine that happening on Northern Ireland or Scottish borders. If xenophobia rears its ugly head, all Europeans will suffer. Those who live in greenhouses shouldn’t throw stones.

Money worries causing bags under the eyes for women through sleepless nights Loose change A look at finance for females
Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
AS if crying babies, noisy student neighbours or an uncomfortable mattress weren’t enough to keep us up at night, a new study has revealed that women suffer terribly from sleepless nights, because of money worries too. Women are apparently much more bothered about cash flow than men are, and thinking about such financial problems, causes them to toss and turn all night. Fretting about how to pay household bills and how to begin some proper saving
MONEY WORRIES: Women are much more bothered about cash flow than men are, and thinking about it causes them to toss and turn. were the number one concerns of most people surveyed. On top of these, women were particularly worried about paying for the future and repaying back debt. All this worry is not doing women any favours either. The sleepless nights impact on their ability to concentrate, get work done and it negatively affects their relationships. So why are women more stressed about money than men? Some might say that women are exposed to more stressful situations than men, as they
not only have their own working lives, but also tend to take on more responsibilities in the home. Also it’s true that women in general earn less than men, so if they’re employed part-
time for example, they’re less likely to have health benefits and financial resources. Another theory is that women are more comfortable with reporting higher levels of stress.
If you notice that you might be one of these women lacking sleep and stressing over money it’s time to take some action. Remember it’s not selfish to look after yourself, it’s normal; it’s healthy. And it will make you more effective at dealing with responsibilities at work and home. Go for a walk. Stop and sit in the sun for a while. Take a relaxing bath. Force yourself to take care of yourself. Also don’t sweep financial concerns under the carpet to be dealt with in the future. Maybe you feel bad or embarrassed about your debt, and that can lead to inaction. But it’s essential to face and deal with the situation head on. If it’s too hard to do this alone, reach out for help.

I urge you to consult a Spanish lawyer to answer the following: 1. Are your AGM votes counted by the percentage share (‘quota’) of each property, according to its size, or is each property allotted one vote? Correctly, the voting should be according to the size of the properties, which means the parking bays would count for little. 2. Are these parking bays registered as companies?

MARBELLA: Andalucian towns are leading the way.
Home sales are on the up as prices stabilise THERE were 79,561 homes sales in the third quarter of the year, up 1.4 per cent on the previous three months. It was also the second best figure in the last six quarters, with only the January to March total of 83,022 being better in
that period. The statistics from the Spanish Property Registrars show that the upward trend was due to resales which totalled 52,127, up 8.93 per cent from the previous quarter. By contrast sales of new homes fell 10.37
per cent in the same period to 27,434. Leading the way was Andalucia, with a total of 16,006 transactions, with Valencia (12,189) next on the list, then Catalonia (11,975) and Madrid (10,883). Increased sales have been reflected in a stabilisation of prices with just a 0.08 per cent fall on the previous quarter, while year-on-year the prices rose 1.15 per cent. The registrars gave the credit for recent good figures to price reductions averaging more than 32 per cent since the 2007 peak attracting foreign buyers. Of homes sales, 13.1 per cent were to foreigners in the third quarter, a new record for Spain. Britons accounted for 18 per cent of homes bought by foreign buyers, with the French accounting for 10.4 per cent, Russians 7.5 per cent, Germans 6.4 per cent, Belgians 6.1 per cent, Swedes 6 per cent and Italians 4.1 per cent. In other figures just released by the National Institute of Statistics it would appear that the quarterly rise was driven by September’s figures. Sales went up 13 per cent in that month and, excluding social housing, there were 24,096 sales registered, the highest level in four years.

Still going strong EVERY morning I go to the gym to work out and have my radio with me. One station plays oldies 24 hours a day, year-round, with no commercials and I happened to hear Leapy Lee’s tune this morning, the Little Arrows tune! Now I know a bit about 50’s and 60’s rock, but had never heard the tune before and in fact I had to look at the display to see who was doing that particular song. I wrote down the name and then checked on the internet and it was Leapy Lee. I don’t remember hearing it before but that happens sometimes with obscure one-hit wonders! It’s kind of neat that he did this tune nearly 50 years ago and it still gets air time, so I just wanted him to know it’s still being played somewhere on the planet at some time during the day. Thanks for a good tune, Leapy, and good health in the future! Wayne Wachtell, Cleveland Ohio (USA)
Upbeat outlook I RETIRED to Spain from Scotland approximately two years ago and am now 67 years of age. Shortly after I arrived in Spain I was diagnosed as having prostate cancer. As you can imagine I was devastated, but after radiotherapy treatment at Hospital Clinico, Malaga I have the all-clear and it feels great. Therefore Leapy Lee should not feel down as he will probably be OK, but if the news is bad, remember it can be treated successfully. Jim Malley, Duquesa (Malaga)

them not to vote for Scottish independence, and that seems to have worked! Our UK government’s policy towards the EU is being led, not by a real assessment of the pros and cons, but by their terror of losing seats to UKIP. And of course it follows that we should tell our UK contacts not to vote for UKIP, a party with no policies except to get out of the EU. They try to make us believe that would solve our problems, while it would solve none. Although the main parties seem paralysed with fear of UKIP, they could get their credibility back if they would only come out and fight Farage instead of appeasing him. Bill Campbell (by email)

Vanishing act I WOULD like to know if anyone has had the same experience that I had. On November 12 at a supermarket in La Cañada a 35cm x 35cm calendar went on the conveyer belt and through the till. It appeared on my bill but never came out at my end. I went straight to my car and seeing it wasn’t there returned to the store within 10 minutes to report its absence. It was too
large to slip out of my trolley and too large and colourful to be left on the conveyer belt. Any ideas, anyone? DW Grace, Marbella (Malaga)
Changing times I’VE been in Spain for the last 15 years on and off and have seen many changes and not for the better! 1. There is a high speed train track to nowhere with millions of euros wasted, plus a bronze statue of King Felipe and the queen outside the town hall in Fuengirola which is now a hotel. 2. People are living with their retired mum and dad with six or eight people in a twobedroom flat without employment or money, living on dad’s pension. That’s wrong! 3. There are people living in doorways like the woman at the BBVA bank in Los Boliches who has been there for two years. She goes to Santa Fe hostel when she gets a few euros and is always clean and sleeps sitting upright on a suitcase. I told Age Concern but nothing
happened. 4. They are driving retired expats back to the UK with stupid tax laws and will miss all the UK pensions we spend here when we’ve gone. 5. There are too many beggars, genuine or not, and no wonder all of Europe go to the UK for benefits. Some things in the rest of Europe are good as you can’t get benefits until you pay in for two years. That would stop them all going to the UK and taking my family’s money! 6. People come on holiday for sun, sand, food and entertainment, starting at 9pm and stopping at 12 midnight. Madrid people buy cheap apartments over existing bars then get them closed down for noise! They should not be able to do this and they should only complain if a bar opens up after buying a flat. 7. The town hall wants to sit in ivory towers and look down at locals fishing for sardines and riding donkeys. That is Spain’s two tier system: the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots.’ Brian Warman, Fuengirola (Malaga)
It’s too early I AM old enough to remember the old ‘Post early for Christmas’ slogan, although I believe the good old GPO (remember the GPO?) was thinking of a just a week or so ahead of the big day, not months. I very much doubt that they imagined people would one day be buying Christmas cards and presents the moment Halloween was over. Much of it is the fault of shops and chain stores where they put up their decorations and sometimes their prices in mid-November. They then brainwash and strong-arm the public into believing it is their duty as consumers to respond. Spain used to be different in this respect, staving off the trappings and feeding frenzy until well into December but no, even that’s been taken away from us now. I enjoy Christmas as much as the next person but please, please, please: not in November. S McNamara (by email)

STREET TALK here can speak Spanish. You need all these things in Spain but some people tar us with the same brush.” Principal of the Pineapple Performing Arts School, Maggie Paterson, who was on the Costa Blanca offering a week-long workshop for students, said a common misconception about her profession within performing arts was that it can be very competitive. “People think it is a bitchy, competitive environment, but there is such a strong family bond within the dance and performing arts community. I don’t think people realise how hard it is; dancers train every day like athletes, and it is a life choice,” she remarked.

Finally arrived back home LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT
T
HAT was most definitely the trip that was. Everything that could go wrong - did. Right up to missing my final connecting flight from Barcelona to Mallorca. Not my fault. With an already tight schedule, my flight from Denmark was delayed for 40 minutes, this led to the ol’ boy panting and dripping between terminals one and two at Barcelona, where I finally arrived at the gate at exactly take-off time. There’s nothing more frustrating than standing at the gate watching the doors close to the plane you should be on. Anyway I did manage to catch one an hour later (at an extra charge of €120, I may
add). Frankly I can never fathom the often unbelievable variance in airline prices. Sometimes you can travel great distances for €30-odd and at other times it can cost a fortune for a 45-minute hop. Ah well, what do us minions know? On the brighter side I’ve managed to pick up a number of UK bookings for next year. One of the reasons is that most of the 60s’ lot are actually dead! Never thought I could be a commercial draw simply for being alive - funny ol’ life, innit? Denmark I found a little depressing, what with the cold and most of the populace shrouded in black winter attire. The people are most friendly, however, and I’d like to thank them for making the ol’ boy feel thoroughly welcome and comfortable. By the way, all you Denmarkians, that orange thing which appeared briefly in
DENMARK: Depressingly most people wore black winter attire. the sky on Friday was actually the sun. Don’t panic! One of the most interesting occurrences for me happened on the very doorstep where I was staying. My girlfriend had told me that her upstairs neighbours were Muslims and I
had glimpsed a couple of shrouded-up ladies passing by the kitchen window. Lo and behold the day before I left there was a knock at the door. It turned out to be the same two ladies standing on the doorstep holding a... poinsettia.
To my astonishment, and pleasure, I may add, they then welcomed me to Denmark and, handing me the plant, wished me a happy Christmas! My lady friend told me that both the mother and father were employed and their two daughters attended the local school. Now that’s what I call integration. Contrary to what a number of people think, I am not a racist and if all immigrants acted and integrated in the same way as this lovely family, I would have no problems at all. Unfortunately, as most of us know, this family is the exception rather than the rule. Nevertheless it was a pleasure to see how peaceful, reasonably-thinking people can actually live together in peace and harmony. Good to be back! Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Do you speak the lingo? Viva Marbella... With
Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio COMMUNICATION – one of the hardest things to master as everything can be interpreted in so many ways. When mixing different nationalities this is multiplied, and not just because of the language. Manners and customs vary so greatly, simple situations can lead to misunderstandings and false conclusions. As a child I remember my family thinking that our Spanish exchange had bad manners for not saying please and thank you for everything she was served. Years later when I lived in Spain, the locals made fun of me for saying please and thank you all the time: “Once is enough!” Every story has more than one ‘truth’ so the art of
HARD TO MASTER: Effective communication. communication requires us to ‘read between the lines’ in order to correctly translate the intent of the message. Members of local international associations and I had the privilege of being invited to Marbella Town Hall recently for a meeting with the mayor and the tourism councillor.
Even though the mayor was delayed from her last meeting I’m sure she envisioned us all mingling, drinking coffee and eating the croissants laid out in the corner of the room whilst we waited. However, although most of us hadn’t had time for coffee let alone breakfast in order to arrive
on time, no one even approached the coffee table. We all sat, waiting; some still complaining they hadn’t had time for coffee. Finally, one of the other guests stood up and offered to serve us. She started bringing people coffee and only then, embarrassed now by being served, did we begin to sheepishly make our way over to the table, still unsure if maybe this was meant for later or someone else. Ironic. I’d also been guilty of this same oversight at the informal pre-launch cocktail for Mi Marbella Radio at Artisan Café back in June. There had been bottles of Vin Doré and loads of great canapés, etc, which is why I was surprised that a couple had left, offended. I later learnt that it was because I hadn’t invited them to serve themselves. How simple it would have been for me to say: “Please help yourself,” when I had gone out of my way to make people feel
welcome. I certainly meant no offence; it just simply hadn’t occurred to me. It’s that easy for communication to break down, which is why it is up to those of us who always look for the positive in a situation to keep building bridges, in any way and everywhere we can. Perhaps it’s because I have children that I believe that world peace is not only possible but that Marbella, with more than 130 nationalities, is the ideal place to show how it’s done and set an example. Well, that is my truth… what’s yours? I would love to hear from you: mimarbellartvm@gmail.com Mi Marbella - Radio Mondays to Fridays 3.30pm-5.30pm on 107.6 fm Marbella News-TV - Thursdays 7.00pm Marbella Now-TV - Thursdays 7.30pm-8.30pm https://www.facebook.com/ pages/MiMarbellawithNicoleKing www.rtvmarbella.tv TWITTER: @_NicoleKing_

Famous quote
This week
‘
I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.’ Woody Allen
in history 1872: The first ever official international football match takes place between England and Scotland in Partick, Glasgow. The match finishes in a 0-0 draw and is watched by around 4,000 spectators. 1913: The Ford Motor Company in America introduces the first moving assembly line for production of the Model T car. The moving assembly line radicalises the future of the manufacturing industry. 1963: The Warren Commission is established to investigate the assassination of President John F Kennedy. It concludes nearly a year later that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy. 1972: Atari announces the release of Pong, the world’s first commercially successful video game. Its popularity helps establish the video game industry and is later considered an arcade classic. 1975: Racing driver Graham Hill is killed when the small plane he is piloting crashes in south-east England. The two-times Formula 1 world champion is killed along with five others on board, all members of the Embassy Hill racing team. 1982: Thriller, the second solo album by singer Michael Jackson, is released. The album goes on to be the best-selling record album of all time, an accolade it still holds to this day. It is estimated to have sold between 51 and 65 million copies worldwide. 1990: Britain is linked to mainland Europe for the first time since the Ice Age - 8,000 years previously as construction workers drill through the final wall of rock to join the two halves of the Channel Tunnel. Tunnel workers from both sides celebrate with Champagne. 1995: Nick Leeson - the ‘rogue trader’ - is jailed for six years for his part in the collapse of Britain’s oldest merchant bank, Barings Bank.

Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.’ Amelia Earheart

Time Out EURO WEEKLY’S SPACE FOR YOU TO TAKE A BREAK, BE INFORMED AND ENJOY A CHALLENGE
H ex a g r a m
Ten years after a deadly disease wiped out most of the human race, genetically-engineered chimp Caesar sets up a colony near San Francisco. The appearance of a small group of human survivors threatens to disrupt Caesar’s new colony, and a fragile peace between the two begins. However, war soon appears to be imminent and Caesar is caught between trying to protect his own race while wishing to have a relationship with the remaining human population. Stars Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke. Runs 131 mins. PG-13. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Is playing the waiting game really to your advantage? Your Sagittarian character naturally leads you to be optimistic, and why not? Even so, it won't hurt to hurry someone along rather than having them go at their own pace. Bear in mind that, in letting someone get away with sloppiness, you are doing them no favours at all. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The enthusiasm of your bright Capricorn mind is also capable of making you restless. There are mixed feelings about being at or near home this week, with thoughts of more progress being possible elsewhere. Your need to make things better for those round you may not make you money but it can bring great joy. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) When you are at home this week I would like you to consider how you view your surroundings. This is a good week to make changes and have discussions about future directions. It is assumed that those close are happy with the status quo, but this may not be the case. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Pat yourself on the back for all of your efforts of recent weeks. Looking back just a few months, would you have thought so much progress could be made? Because of your efforts, home life is enhanced and you are more appreciated. Give yourself a break at the weekend and do something with a loved one that you have not done together for some time. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Rarely has your mind been as sharp as it is at the moment. There have been some awkward and downright bad periods in the recent past, but this week everything falls into place. Why, you wonder, have you worried so much about things which could not be changed? TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) For all of the things that you want to do, there are three others that you wish to do. Maybe they are waiting

TOP 10 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THANKSGIVING As our American friends sit down this Thursday to tuck into their Thanksgiving dinners and enjoy a holiday as popular as Christmas on their calendars, here are 10 interesting facts about Thanksgiving that people perhaps may not know. 1. The author of nursery rhyme ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’ was instrumental in getting Thanksgiving recognised as a holiday. She petitioned numerous US presidents and congressmen before Abraham Lincoln took up her call and in 1863, made the last Thursday of every November a national holiday to help unify the country during the Civil War. 2. TV dinners came about when food company Swanson found themselves with a huge surplus of frozen turkeys for the annual holiday in 1953. Some smart-thinking employee came up with the idea of slicing up the surplus meat and packaging it with all the trimmings, thus kickstarting the pre-packaged, TV dinner industry.

7. The ever-tactful actor/politician/muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger once said: “I love Thanksgiving turkey. It’s the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts.” 8. Every year, the President of the United States pardons a turkey, thus saving him from the dinner table. The first pardoning ceremony was performed by President Truman in 1947. In 2009, President Barack Obama pardoned a turkey named ‘Courage,’ who was then flown to Disneyland to serve as the park’s grand marshal for their Thanksgiving Day parade. 9. Forty-six million turkeys are served up for dinner each Thanksgiving Day in America, with the average bird size weighing in at 15 pounds. Californians consume the most Thanksgiving turkeys each year.

An early Thanksgiving tradition involved tying turkeys behind logs - with only their heads exposed - on Thanksgiving morning and then holding a marksmanship contest. This led to the term ‘turkey shoot,’ meaning the opportunity to easily take advantage of a situation.

3. In America, a turkey less than 12weeks-old is known as a ‘fryer roaster.’ The term would indicate that the poor birds are destined for the dinner plate as soon as they are born.

I made a mental note to myself to be one of the cheerful people Erica Russell Watson: My journey – and I’m driving
27th October BACK at home after my mastectomy and I was feeling surprisingly well. I think that my overall physical and mental state had a lot to do with being organised and well prepared for the hospital visit. You need to free your mind of all worries if possible and allow yourself to relax and you will find you go through surgery and recover very well. Just knowing that my dear friend Emma was at home looking after my children was a huge comfort to me. She had flown over from England and cooked and cleaned and nurtured! She came to visit me every day in the hospital and even tried to rescue a stray puppy outside the hospital one day! Special thanks to her for all her love and the great chemo cookery book! It was time to get serious on the food front and start cooking meals to
boost my immune system in preparation for chemotherapy. The next few weeks were spent pottering about looking after myself and my stitches. People were most impressed by my mastectomy bra and ‘chicken fillet.’ “You look normal Erica.” Normal is exactly how I felt! In reality I wasn’t upset about losing my breast and at times entirely forget that I only had one! It’s amazing how quickly you adapt to changes. Reconstruction would be a thing for the future, I had to get better first and then I could think about bikinis! The district nurse visited me at my home to check how my stitches were doing and was pleased. It was nice of him to come to my house as I still couldn’t drive and this way I avoided the germs of the doctor’s waiting room! They looked dry and the wound had closed very well so he removed the stitches. Each little procedure that liberates your body from the vestiges of an operation feels like a mini triumph. Life ticked on as normal despite still not being able to drive. I would soon be behind the wheel again though. You need to give yourself 15-20 days after the operation before driving
but each person is different. I started with short journeys and made sure I put my seat belt and the

hand brake on with my ‘good’ arm. Just before I could get back behind the wheel Marta, yes yet another friend from England, arrived. It was great to see her and catch up and we did the shopping and various tasks that are more difficult single-handed. She had gone to a lot of effort to think of the things that would help me. For example, probiotics to boost my immune system and naturally an enormous amount of chocolate! The phone rang and my appointment with the oncologist was confirmed first with the radiologist on November 13 and then the oncologist for November 19 in Malaga.
I went to the Carlos Haya Hospital to talk to the radiologist and they explained that I would be receiving chemo first, with the idea of eradicating any traces of cancer in my system and then radiotherapy a month after the end of the chemo. The radiotherapy is concentrated in the area you have had your tumours removed from to try to ensure they don’t regrow. I was informed radiotherapy would not hurt but my skin would be very sensitive and that I would have to use special creams. The sessions would be intensive and daily and could be up to 20 sessions with weekends off for a rest. This would be confirmed later down the line after a full body x-ray and to see what shape I was in after the chemo in terms of weight loss and the like. Now just to wait for my appointment with the oncologist to find out how many sessions of chemo I would have and to ask about all the side effects and to cover any doubts I had. I was very keen to get started. Roll on November 19 was all I could think. November 19 and I went to the ‘Materno’ Hospital in
Malaga for my appointment with the oncologist. It was a long wait. As I looked around the waiting room it started to hit home what the side effects of chemo would be. Apart from the obvious signs like hair loss, I caught snippets of conversations about many other side effects such as nausea. Some people seemed cheerful and others were very low indeed. Mental note to self; try and be one of the cheerful people Erica! Then finally I was called in. The oncologist went over my operation results, examined me and asked me how I felt. To be honest I felt fine apart from having headaches. He decided to send me for scans for my head, torso and bones as a precautionary measure. This was a positive move because if the cancer had spread to another part of my body I would rather know about it! My chemotherapy would start very soon and I was told to come back to the hospital on November 26 for blood tests and depending on the results I would then be given a start date for treatment. Not long to go now. The sooner I started, the sooner I would finish.

Brazil nuts can help boost fertility BRAZIL NUTS: High in antioxidants.
WOMEN who want to boost their fertility and chances of conceiving
should eat more nuts, red meat and seafood. Scientists found that selenium, a natural antioxidant which is found in nuts, red meat and seafood, but is particularly high in Brazil nuts, plays a crucial role in the early stages of conception. Research suggests that it helps the development of healthy ovarian follicles, which are responsible for the production of eggs in women. Researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia said they have known for some time that selenium is important to men’s fertility, but no one had researched its role within healthy reproduction in women.

Meson Peppers is one of Fuengirola’s best kept secrets A
FTER dinner at Meson Peppers in Fuengirola, one question was forefront in my mind. Why has nobody ever told me about this restaurant before? Situated in Doña Sofia behind the mosque for the last 15 years, the restaurant really must be one of the town’s best kept secrets. In my experience, going out to dinner in Fuengirola can be a bit of a stressful experience combining traffic and parking issues before you even reach your destination, crowded, noisy restaurants and hurried, sweaty, shouting waiters. Yet my night out at Peppers was the complete opposite. Behind the mosque, just a short wander along the seafront from the town centre or a
DINING ROOM: Spacious with beautifully laid out tables. very easy drive, set back across peaceful gardens from a quiet street with plenty of free parking, a terraced area is obviously great for al fresco dining in warmer months. Heading inside, we were welcomed and lead to one of the beautifully laid out tables in
the cosy yet spacious diningroom. Candles and soft background music along with friendly, attentive but relaxed staff contributed to an overall sense of calm. The menu was extensive but not so long as to be daunting with choices to please just
about every palate, including vegetarians. We went for tasty fragrant garlic bread and a wonderfully fresh house salad to start, followed by delicious leak and potato soup which was just the thing to warm us up on a nippy autumn evening. The tender sirloin steak came in a creamy black pepper sauce that had just the right consistency, not too runny but not too thick either. The home-made desserts had our mouths watering before our banana split and apple crumble with cream even left the kitchen. One taste of the crumble transported me back to my youth with memories of my grandmother’s crumbles coming to mind. As we finished off with
steaming coffee and a piece of chef Antonio’s home-made Turkish delights, Antonio himself stopped by at the table for a chat which gave a homely feel to the end of our evening. In fact I can honestly say I felt completely at home at Peppers and intend to go back, firstly to try out their Indian nights and secondly to try their paellas which sound heavenly, but must be ordered 24 hours in advance to ensure fresh products can be used. As the Christmas menu looks delicious and is very reasonably priced, I may even take the family for Christmas lunch.

natural soil improvers are best Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
SOME 30 years ago expatriates investing in a villa or old agricultural property in Spain often found they inherited fertile soil, well-fertilized naturally, perhaps over centuries, by mules, donkeys, horses, goats, sheep and free-range poultry. However, this type of land was soon sold up and by the boom of the 1980s to 2000s many villas and rows of townhouses were being built on overworked, impoverished land, which would make it difficult to develop a garden without
ROOT MANURE: Natural soil improvers enhance texture and moisture-holding properties. improving before anything.
the soil planting
So what can be done? Let me share some of the things we did. 1. One of the men who built the walls around our plot was a part-time shepherd with 100 sheep and goats. We asked if we could have a few sacks of well-rotted manure. Amazingly, he had a heap which he wanted clearing. When we dug the first space full it had obviously been there for a good number of years and was nice and crumbly, with no smell. Over a few days we moved six boot loads in sacks and it was worked into our first shrub beds. 2. When we started our vegetable plot we discovered another heap which another shepherd
was about to sell to a major vegetable grower. We asked if we could have a few sacks first. He said yes and would charge the equivalent of €1 a sack. We immediately shook hands on that and were even more pleased when we discovered it was full of thousands of fat red worms. 3. Within 10 years, just half a flock of the original 11 flocks of sheep and goats in our valley remained, and it was not possible to obtain any manure. However, we found that a local agricultural co-operative sold inexpensive sacks of dried goat and sheep manure. Originally this was €3 a sack. Ten years later the
price is €5 a sack and still good value. 4. Now we have a regular supply of rabbit manure from our own rabbits, grown for cooking organic paellas, plus manure from the chickens we keep for the same purpose. The chicken droppings are added to the compost heap or composted in a separate pile for a year as they are too strong to use without first composting. 5. We have also experimented with growing green manures and working these into the soil, as well as using spent mushroom composts. Ash from our log fires is sprinkled around onions, leeks and garlic.
In fact, there is a table comparing 16 things that we have used from time to time on Page 75 of our book, Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain. There is certainly a benefit in using natural soil improvers rather than inorganic chemicals which do nothing to improve the texture of soil, nor its ability to hold moisture. Neither will chemicals support building up the level of beneficial microorganisms, which help break down added manures and enable roots to extract nutrients from the soil.

2014 stamp collection
Literary festival success
THE Gibraltar stamps 2014 collection is now available, featuring all of the commemorative stamps issued by Gibraltar during the year. Issued by the Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau each year and collected worldwide, this year’s collection is priced at £45 (€56) and is available for purchase at the Philatelic shop outside the main post office or online at www.gibraltar-stamps.com
GIBRALTAR’S second edition of the Literary Festival has been hailed as a rousing success, with 64 per cent more tickets sold than last year. Tourism Minister Neil Costa remarked that the “growth and consolidation of the festival has now become a wonderful reality.” A total of 3,569 people enjoyed the numerous talks, performances and events.
A NEW marine police vehicle was launched by its namesake, former Governor Sir Adrian Johns. The Croatian-built, 26-metre Sir Adrian Johns will give the Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) an added presence in the waters of the Rock, and can stay out at sea for between three to four days. The boat will be based at the newly-built Gibraltar Government Marine Station at Ragged Staff Wharf, which was also inaugurated by Sir Adrian Johns. The vessel will join the RGP’s fleet of interceptor vessels, jet skis and police fleet at the purpose-built marine station. The facility will see the RGP work closely with the Department of the Environment and the Gibraltar Defence Police. In all, both projects have cost around £2 million (€2.5 million).
THE CONVENT CHRISTMAS FAIR will be held this Thursday, November 27, between 12pm and 7pm. More than 40 festive stalls will offer everything you need for the holiday season, including Christmas decorations, fashion and beauty treats, handcrafted jewellery and great stocking-filler ideas. St Bernard’s First School will entertain visitors with Christmas carols.

BORDER QUEUES: Recommendations followed EU inspections.
EU Commission’s border delay findings made public in letter A LETTER sent to both Gibraltar and Spain by the European Commission regarding the long border delays has been made public by the Gibraltar government. The letter outlines the findings of a series of inspections by the EU at the border and recommendations on how to proceed. Following the Commission’s June inspections of the border, it expressed concerns over the “lack of progress” since its first inspection in September 2013. The letter states that, “the fivehour delays to exit Gibraltar and enter Spain on June 11 and 15, 2014 were disproportionate,” according to El Pais. The November 2013 letter asked both
Gibraltar and Spain to help alleviate the situation with new infrastructure at the border, as well as taking administrative and legislative steps to ease the long traffic delays. A statement released by the government of Gibraltar said: “Gibraltar met the Commission deadline. It was obvious at the time of the second inspection visit to the border by the European Commission on July 2, 2014, that Spain had not even started the works that they had been asked to carry out.” The EU letter also notes that the intensity of the checks to exit Spain and enter Gibraltar should be reduced or abolished.
THOUSANDS of young Scottish football fans will be given free tickets to the Euro 2016 qualifier against Gibraltar. Gibraltar take on Scotland at Hampden Park in Glasgow on March 29 next year, and the Scottish Football Association are to give out 10,000 free tickets to football loving youngsters. The tickets will be distributed to football clubs and community clubs across Scotland. Former First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond,
said: “Community coaches and football groups are the ones who give up their spare time to provide our youngsters with an introduction to the game, which hopefully fuels their desire to keep involved. “This ticket giveaway is not only a thank you to them, but also a way of inspiring those youngsters with a love of football to follow their passion.” Gibraltar sit at the bottom of Group D with no points following defeats to Germany, Ireland, Georgia and Poland.

New rules for pet travel
Beware those Xmas treats… PET owners are being warned to watch their animal’s diet over the Christmas season. Treating your dog like one of the family and indulging it with the rich food from Christmas dinner can lead to serious health problems and land the animal at the vets. Research shows that 56 per cent of owners will feed their dog potentially harmful foods, and 15 per cent of pet owners have taken their dog to the vet over Christmas as it has become ill because of the ‘treats’ it has been fed. These include stuffing, raisins, chocolate, turkey and gravy, all of which can lead to intestinal problems, vomiting and diarrhoea. Raisins and sultanas found in mince pies can result in kidney failure in their dogs. Owners wanting to indulge their dogs should buy treats specially formulated for their animals.
NEW pet passports will soon be required for animals travelling abroad, but what does this mean for your dog, cat or ferret? If your pet was given a passport before December 29, 2014, you do not need to get a new one. Your old one is valid. If your pet is given a pet passport after December 29, 2014, it will receive a new pet passport free of charge. Which animals need a pet passport? The new EU-system is for cats, dogs and ferrets. For other pets, national legislation applies. What are the main requirements to travel with my pet within the EU? The main requirements to travel with dogs, cats and ferrets are: micro chipping, valid vaccination against rabies, waiting period after vaccination and prior to travelling (at

least 21 days, except for boosters). If travelling within the EU, it is recommended to go to the vet at least two months before travelling; if travelling outside the EU, go earlier. Do I (the owner) need to accompany my pet when travelling? Yes, in principle all pets must be accompanied by their owner. Recognising this might be difficult in certain situations, so long as when the movement of the pet and the owner is within five days of each other, the pet can also be

December 2014, your pet must be at least 12 weeks old before you can get it vaccinated against rabies for the purpose of travel. What happens if I travel with my animal and do not meet the requirements? Make sure your pet is fully compliant before travelling. It is prohibited to travel abroad with your pet without following the pet travel rules. Non-compliant pets may be put into quarantine, rejected or put down as a last resort at the expense of the owner. Stringent penalties are in place for those that break the rules. This is advisory information only; some countries have differing rules so get further information from your vet.
Becoming a pet sitter has never been so easy By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch HOUSESITTING and petsitting is a great way to
travel and possibly make some money. It has never been easier to find an assignment. Start by registering with an online network, such as HouseSit Match. This will help you find the best assignment to suit you. Building your Profile - A strong profile can be an important tool to finding a great petsit. Include information on your own pet care experience and any other expertise. This helps to make your profile
more desirable to home owners. Police checks are good and not expensive, however, you can also offer character references.

A skype or a phone call introduction will put you both at ease by starting with a friendly conversation. Confirm any agreement in writing with the home owner to clarify expectations. And try to
arrive a day or two early to help you get to know the pets and more importantly meet and build a friendship with your home owners.

SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public weekends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

SEAT takes on more workers SEAT is poised to hire 233 temporary workers at the Martorell facilities in Spain. The new recruits will join the company this week to cope with a one-off increase in demand for the SEAT Ibiza and the Audi Q3. This new spate of workers join the more than 550 people hired by SEAT throughout 2014, most of these in January, because the number of shifts on Production Line Two increased to three as a result of growing market demand for the Leon. In October, 200 of these employees signed a contract with SEAT. Agreements reached with labour unions to hire temporary workers to cover increased production volumes provide that SEAT must give recruitment priority to temporary workers who had

In July, the 45 members of the first graduating class of apprentices in SEAT’s new dual system vocational training programme were also hired by the company. SEAT Vice-President for Human Resources, Josef Schelchshorn, pointed out that “so far this year, SEAT has already hired more than 800 workers.” SEAT’s global sales grew by 10.5 per cent from January to October to reach a total of 326,000 units sold. The increase is due to the sales success of SEAT models in Central and Eastern Europe, where orders went up by 50.5 per cent in the first 10 months of the year.

World Premiere of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class
B
ILLED by its makers as the world’s best car in its most exclusive form, the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class made its debut on the eve of Auto Guangzhou 2014. At the world premiere in South China’s economic powerhouse, Mercedes-Benz presented the flagship model in its new subbrand, which stands for the very highest exclusivity and unparalleled comfort – the Mercedes-Maybach S 600. As the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz line-up the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class fulfils the highest demands for luxury and comfort. Due to roll into showrooms in February 2015 the S 600 top model comes with a 390kW (530hp) 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine with a maximum torque of 830Nm. The new prestigious limousine also boasts an exceptionally low level of wind noise, making the rear seat the quietest in the world in a production limousine, say the manufacturers. Of course, this does not come cheap. Prices have not been disclosed yet, but they are

S-Class has been conceived specifically for chauffeured driving and offers not only all the
comforts of the normal S-Class, but also a full range of exclusive equipment details. Thanks to a
wheelbase that is 20 centimetres longer than that of the longwheelbase S-Class, the Mercedes Maybach S 600 comes with two Executive Seats in the rear as standard. In combination with the Chauffeur Package, which is likewise standard, they enable a reclined position that sets new benchmarks in the automotive sector when it comes to resting and sleeping comfort. An all-new function that emphasises the positioning of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class as a chauffeurdriven vehicle is the voice amplification that eases communication between driver and rear-seat passengers. The high quality standards of the MercedesMaybach S-Class are impressively evident in the selection and crafting of premium materials.

The Shelby makes a powerful comeback ONE of the most iconic performance Mustang names of all time is returning. Ford has revealed the all-new Shelby GT350 Mustang. The original Shelby GT350 introduced in 1965 established Mustang’s performance credentials. The new Shelby GT350, featuring the most powerful, naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever, is a world-class performance vehicle, designed to tackle the planet’s most challenging roads. Ford calls it an all-day track car that’s also street legal. But European car enthusiasts will have to go abroad to get the Shelby. While the standard Mustang is finally being sold in Europe, the Shelby version is an exception and will only be sold in America and the Middle East. It builds on Carroll Shelby’s original idea of transforming a great everyday car into a dominant road racer by taking advantage of a dramatically improved, sixth-generation
WORLD-CLASS: The Mustang Shelby is a street legal, performance track car. Mustang to create a special driving experience. Ford engineers took an innovative approach with the GT350. Rather than develop individual systems to perform well independently, every component and shape is optimised to work in concert with balance being the key. While paying rigorous attention to detail, the team pushed the envelope with cutting-edge materials and
technologies. “When we started working on this car, we wanted to build the best possible Mustang for the places we most love to drive – challenging back roads with a variety of corners and elevation changes – and the track on weekends,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president of global product development. “Every change we made to this car was driven by the functional requirements of a powerful,
responsive powerplant – nimble, precise handling and massive stopping power.” Early in the development of the GT350, it was decided a high-revving, naturally aspirated V8 engine would best suit a track-focused Mustang. “The final product is essentially an all-new powerplant unique to GT350 – and one that takes true advantage of the new chassis dynamics of the Mustang
platform,” said Jamal Hameedi, chief engineer of Ford Global Performance Vehicles. The new 5.2-litre engine is the first-ever production V8 from Ford with a flat-plane crankshaft, an architecture typically found only in racing applications or exotic European sports cars. Unlike a traditional V8, where the connecting rods are attached to the crankshaft at 90-degree intervals, this design evenly spaces all crank pins at 180-degree intervals. The 180-degree, flat-plane layout permits a cylinder firing order that alternates between cylinder banks, reducing the overlap of exhaust pressure pulses. When combined with cylinderhead and valve-train advancements, this permits better cylinder breathing, further extending the performance envelope of the V8. The result is the most powerful naturally asp-irated production Ford engine ever, at more than 500 horsepower.
