TOURISM FAIR: The Costa aims to reduce seasonal slumps.

A tourism boost THE Costa del Sol is taking its place at the country’s most important tourism fair hoping to boost the region’s €2 billion a year Spanish tourist trade. Along with Malaga City the Costa will be represented at Fitur, the Spanish tourism fair which begins on January 28 in Madrid. While the Costa aims to reduce seasonal slumps in tourism by promoting cultural, sports and adventure activities, Malaga City will be placing special emphasis on its museums, especially the

future Pompidou and Russian Museums, with a 160 square metre stand. Tourism Costa del Sol leader Elias Bendodo, also the Provincial President, stressed the importance of the national market, stating that more than 4 million Spaniards visited the area last year and spent about €2 billion. Bendodo explained the coast’s strategy for Fitur is to break into new sectors of the market with new attractions including the Caminito del Rey walkway in El Chorro.

Elderly expats saying ‘adios’ ELDERLY expats on the Costa del Sol are packing up and heading home in unprecedented numbers, according to latest statistics. Data from Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE) reveal that between January 2013 and January 2014, the province of Malaga bid ‘adios’ to 42,929 foreign residents, with old age, the loss of purchasing power and financial

affairs some of the reasons for people leaving. The typical example, according to INE, is an 80-year-old British or German expat who has spent the last 10 years on the Costa del Sol, but following the death of a spouse, will return home because of family. Of the 101 localities in Malaga Province, 88 showed a reduction in the number of foreign

residents within the one year time frame. Mijas registered the biggest drop with 9,313 foreigners leaving, followed by Marbella (4,345), Benalmadena (3,549) and Torrox (2,974). The only area to see any substantial growth in the foreign population was Velez-Malaga, which welcomed 897 more citizens. Malaga City saw 4,354 foreigners leave in the 12-month period.

DRAMATIC: Horses are ridden through bonfires.

Fire horses of Spain on St Anthony’s eve

NE Spanish village honours the patron saint of animals in the most dramatic fashion - by riding horses through bonfires in a day and night of festivities. The tradition - said to go back 500 years - is held in San Bartolome de los Pinares, Avila, on Saint Anthony’s eve (January 16). Known as the Las Luminares the festival is thought to have started to ‘purify’ animals at a time when there was a spate of them falling ‘unnaturally’ ill. Hundreds of horses, donkeys and mules are made to ride through the flames, with bonfires made from dead branches piled in the streets of the village. Although popular, it has drawn the ire of animal rights groups, who have put in official complaints

Quote of the Week I have been surprised to find so many Korean students are interested in learning Spanish, evident in the numerous Spanish language departments at Korean universities,’ said Spanish Ambassador to Korea, Gonzalo Ortiz, on the 65th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

saying it is cruel to the horses and donkeys forced to undergo the ritual. But supporters of the event say that despite the seeming danger to animals and riders, none have ever been hurt. That is disputed by Observatorio Justicia y Defensa Animal (Observatory for Justice and Defence for Animals) which says it has vets’ reports about treatment to horses for burns. In a complaint to Guardia Civil against the local authorities it said it was against animal protection laws to force the horses to act in an unnatural way and make them ignore their instinct to flee fire. It added that animals suffer burns and the effects of inhaling toxic fumes. That complaint was made in 2013, but so far no action has been taken.

Brr!...Feeling the cold in January W

HATEVER your thoughts are on the winter fuel debate that has raised its chilly, frozen and controversial head in the weeks over Christmas, there is no arguing that in the majority of Spain at the moment it is cold with a capital ‘C.’ If the sun is out during the day then it’s quite warm, but once it dips below the horizon for the night it is definitely time to wrap up warm or plonk yourself in front of the fireplace. People assume that because it is sunny for most of the year in Spain particularly on the costas and the islands - that most expats are happily frolicking in the sea and lazing on the beach with cocktails in their hands during the winter months. At least, that seems to be the perception that many in the UK have, particularly some sections of the media. It would be interesting to see what these

people think after spending a week or two in a Spanish home not built to withstand the cold and without a fire or heating. The cold affects the elderly much more so than those of a younger age and it can be highly detrimental to their health. The UK’s decision to scrap the Winter Fuel Allowance for expats in Spain is a thorny, controversial issue, but there is no getting away from the fact that just because the average temperature in Spain is higher than the UK, this does not mean that pensioners don’t need to heat their homes here during the winter. Yes, Spain is warmer in both summer and winter, but ‘warm’ is not the word we would use for the chilly and crisp mornings and nights we are currently experiencing. See Page 23 for our readers’ views on the subject.

de Manilva was completed late and to an insufficient standard. Some parts of the project were not finished at all. The British investors had invested in the project and their lawyer, Lusi Gonzalez Ordoñez, declared that the sentence could form a precedent for other buyers and that about 200 people had paid around €100,000 per apartment in advance. Although the companies have the right to

appeal against the ruling, this is not the first case Caixabank and Manilva Costa have lost over the urbanisation, as Sevilla provincial courts rejected their appeal over a similar sentence in 2013. Manilva is one of the areas where most construction began during the real-estate boom only for sites to be abandoned half-finished or finished late when the bubble burst.

STOLEN GOODS: From properties around Alhaurin el Grande.

Burglars arrested THREE people were arrested suspected of carrying out burglaries at homes in the Valle del Guadalhorce area. Guardia Civil police force discovered a large variety of stolen items including saddles, machinery, tools, electric cables, jewellery, television sets, guns and appliances and also confiscated a considerable stash of drugs. The police investigation began last

August following a burglary from a country home in Alhaurin el Grande. Investigations revealed the criminal group stored stolen goods at a home before selling them on. Officers caught the suspects just as they were about to break into an Alhaurin el Grande property. The burglars, suspected of being behind at least 10 break-ins, were sent to jail by a judge to await trial.

Road rage works out expensive AN ATTACK of rage has cost a motorcyclist more than €3,000 for hitting a

pedestrian with his helmet. The victim was walking with a group of people in Benalmadena one evening when a motorbike flew past and he told him off for going so quickly. The driver stopped and hit him various times with his helmet. Unfortunately the violent biker dropped his wallet during the attack, allowing police to identify him. Now a Malaga provincial court has confirmed the sentence from a Torremolinos court ordering the attacker to pay a €2,160 fine plus €1,260 in damages to his victim.

Italian bank robbers A COUPLE from Italy has been arrested suspected of having robbed €23,000 from three Costa del Sol banks on New Year’s Eve. The 30-year-old man and 20-year-old Italian woman were arrested in a hotel in Barcelona and €12,000 in cash and a fake gun confiscated. The couple, along with another man who has still to be found, are allegedly responsible for robberies at two banks in Fuengirola and one in Marbella early last January 31. Police believe the robbers entered and quickly left the area to avoid detection.

Malaga police hunt for casino robber NATIONAL Police in Malaga City are looking for a man who robbed a gaming hall and injured an employee. The robber reportedly entered Casino Park while the employee was alone on the premises and took about €700 (including €50 the employee had in his wallet) before hitting and kicking the worker on his way out. Although police rushed to the scene they were unable to catch the robber, who the victim described as a tall, dark young man with a South-American accent wearing dark clothes and a black scarf.

A MAN was arrested after being found hiding under a bed in a property he had broken into with loot wrapped in a tablecloth. A neighbour who spotted the burglar climbing through a balcony window called the police.

False arrest A MAN who pretended to be a Guardia Civil officer and ‘arrested’ a young woman on the dancefloor of a Malaga City disco was arrested when she called the police after realising the badge he carried was false.

Thief caught POLICE in the Cruz de Humilladero district of Malaga City arrested a 45-year-old man who pushed a supermarket cashier over and stole some cheese. Another employee chased and caught the shoplifter and retained him until the police arrived.

No reason A MAN has filed an official complaint against two bouncers who he said brutally beat and injured him at a Marbella disco for no apparent reason.

Child abuse A COUPLE was arrested in Mijas suspected of being involved with abuse doctors believe their six-year-old daughter had suffered. The parents disappeared from their home in Lucena, Cordoba, after their five children were taken into custody last week.

One area the patrol works on is ensuring private plots are kept clear to reduce fire risk, yet this is a difficult task as it is often impossible to locate landowners. Although the patrol recommended that 1.4 million square metres of private land needed clearing in 2014, only 260,000 actually were.

Street names are changing MIJAS has changed the names of 182 of its streets to avoid confusion The measure makes addresses clearer by simply adding the name of the urbanisation to the street names. The property registry and public and emergency services have been informed of the changes. Councillor Juan Carlos Gonzalez said that although in theory postcodes are used to differentiate between

streets, emergency services, postmen and people from outside Mijas who try to use GPS systems to get somewhere often have problems. “In some cases it could mean the difference between an ambulance arriving in time to save a life or not,” Gonzalez said. For example, Calle Topacio in Las Lagunas will now become Calle Topacio de Las Lagunas to differentiate it from Calle Topacio de Riviera.

MALAGA METRO: Peak times need more trains.

City Metro aims to run more trains MALAGA’S Metro is considering increasing the frequency of trains at peak times to meet demand from students and shoppers. The company in

charge of running the service, Metro Malaga, wants to reduce the seven and a half minute gap between trains, reinforcing the service for university students heading for class first thing in the morning, and shoppers heading to and from Vialia shopping centre. Fernando Lozano, general director of the company, said: “We’re studying the habits of our clients to adapt ourselves and give a better service.” Lozano declared that university students make up a large proportion of passengers as travelling by Metro cuts their travelling time by between 30 and 45 minutes. Although final figures for last year have not yet been announced, Metro Malaga passed two million passengers, the goal it had set itself for the first five months of service, since opening on July 30 last year. Following the good start, the company has estimated about five million passengers for this year. Lozano said that although the service had met its initial goals there was still plenty of room for improvement.

Winter Fuel Allowance: the unkindest cut of all

The news that pensioners in Spain are to lose their Winter Fuel Allowance has provoked a huge response from our readers. The vast majority have come out against the cuts. Here is a small selection of comments -

Paying for gold taps B McDonnell, Javea (Costa Blanca) I AM a pensioner who paid tax and National Insurance all my life. I still pay income tax to the UK under the Dual Agreement UK/Spain. Despite this, like many others, I cannot vote in UK elections. The fuel allowance helps but I realise that I am selfish in accepting it and there are many more deserving cases such as an MP’s expenses for everything from duck ponds to toilet rolls. Or overseas aid to enable some despot to put gold taps in one of his many bathrooms. And large families that don’t work but continue to breed, as well as any other sponger or insane cause. It makes you proud to be British! I’m losing it. It must be old age (or the cold!).

Insulting remarks Don & Tricia Widdall (by email) WE too have paid all our taxes and therefore feel that the allowance is a right not a handout! Iain Duncan Smith’s remarks re ‘an obscene waste of money’ are an insult. He and his associates have not even had the courtesy to consult us in this matter.

A paltry pension David Moore (by email) IF pensioners received a decent pension in line with the rest of Europe, there would be no need for a Winter Fuel

This snow on a Mallorcan beach proves that Spain is not always hot, hot, hot!

UK vote to leave the EU. There has been a website set up to register your objection to this bill and it is http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/ 73368 and I would suggest that your readers sign this petition to try to have the policy overturned.

Fair’s fair Andy P (by email)

Allowance. I don’t think £4 a week is too much to expect. Compare that to the £250 million a week in foreign aid and the millions we pay out in drugs to satisfy addicts in prison. I’m so glad I worked hard for 40 years knowing that I’d retire on a life-changing £16 a day.

Get a life! David B Jones (by email) AS a 68-year-old diabetic, if I was now living in England I would be entitled to free foot treatment, free optical treatment, all prescriptions free, concessionary bus pass/rail pass, maybe some caring allowance, and if my savings were below certain levels, a pension top-up. As it is, I gave up all these to live in Spain. I think it is obvious that by living in Spain I am actually saving the

A heartfelt plea to Leapy Lee... I WRITE to you with rage in my heart. If the Winter Fuel Allowance is cut off for expats in Spain, we pensioners here should take the Tory Millionaire Party to the European Court. Tory Millionaire Iain Duncan Smith should be informed (by the powersthat-be that many, many expat pensioners pay UK taxes. Will Leapy Lee represent us!? Yvonne Fischer, Rojales (Costa Blanca)

British Government money. It is obscene for millionaires like Iain Duncan Smith to stop the Winter Fuel Allowance. If it was saving billions, I would understand, but a few million? Really, Mr Duncan Smith, get a life!

The ballot solution Keith and Judy Braddock, La Manga (Murcia) PEOPLE may shrug their shoulders and think there is nothing we can do as we don’t have any voting rights. However, we do have an army of family and friends in the UK who over the next few months will be visiting the ballot box. We have sent a email to all our contacts in the UK and asked them to get in touch with their local MP about the matter. If we all do this it should give cause for concern, as most MPs do have one eye on the ballot box.

Dodgy figures Peter Barlow (by email) THE UK Government has used some dubious calculations to penalise expats and it can only cause greater concern about how we will be treated should the

AS the pensioners that should get the Winter Fuel Allowance have paid into the State all their lives, there should be no discrimination as to location. If this is to be so, then the people of Northern Scotland should get more than the people of the West Country.

Cunning plan? Godfree Lee El Oasis (Costa Blanca) ENERGY prices here are the highest in Europe apart from Germany, and every little money we get helps a lot. The trouble is we are all living longer and maybe this is a way of Government trying to kill us off earlier! Not everyone thought pensioners in Spain should get the WFA…

Moaning expats Keith Coombes, Moraira (Costa Blanca) SPAIN is a great place to live; shame so many ‘immigrants’ moan most of the time. Yes, we all paid tax and NI in the UK when working. Some boast about how little they paid then and even now. Let us not forget pensioners living in the UK continue to pay tax (UK VAT) every day. Yes, it gets cold in Spain but winter heating costs are a fraction of those in the UK. Are we so poor that £100 will make a difference? Think of the savings on winter coats and umbrellas!

Registering your vehicle in Spain Spanish licence plates and registration document Registering a non-Spanish vehicle in Spain is a complex and potentially costly procedure. However, you may be exempt from Spanish registration tax by getting Spanish number-plates within one month of entering the country. But to do this, you need to become a resident. Linea Directa has been insuring expat drivers in Spain for over a decade and understands all the steps involved. Below we outline this process. STEP 1: OBTAINING A CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY This is a statement by the car’s manufacturer that it conforms to EU regulations. You will need the car’s chassis number to complete this process online at www.eurococ.eu/en/certificate_ of_conformity. STEP 2: CURRENT LOG BOOK The vehicle’s original log book showing your name as the owner, the vehicle’s age and a valid UK address. You will also need the bill of sale for the car. STEP 3: RESIDENCY IN SPAIN The Spanish residency certificate (Certificado de Empadronamiento) is your official proof of residency in Spain. Your local town hall can provide you with this document. You will need to take your passport and proof of Spanish address. STEP 4: OBTAINING A SPANISH MOT CERTIFICATE All vehicles over four-years-old must be

roadworthy and clearly display a valid ITV sticker. The ITV (Vehicle Technical Inspection) must be tested at an authorised centre. You can find out the location of your nearest ITV centre on DGT website. You can also call your local centre to make a booking. The cost can vary but generally is around 40€ for petrol and 56€ for diesel-engine cars. STEP 5: OBTAINING A SPANISH EQUIVALENT OF A TAX DISC The Spanish Tax Agency can provide your vehicle with a valid ‘tax disc’ for Spain, which must be carried in the car when in use.

Banks drive small business owners to pawnbrokers

AT Hola Credito, an established pawnbroker based in Puerto Banus, clients can rest assured that their valuables will be kept safe for the agreed amount of time and returned once the loan and interest are paid. Unlike banks, lending from a pawnbroker is quick, discreet and fully secured. There are no lengthy credit checks or credit blacklists if for some reason repayment can’t be made. In this instance, the valuables will be sold to cover the loan and interest; what’s more any additional money raised from the sale will be returned to the client. However, it should be said that an average 90 per cent of customers collect their goods. James Peat, Director of Hola Credito, says: “Our clients are from all backgrounds: some are businesses needing short-term cash flow, others are simply trying to ride out the recession. We have

offered loans on everything from luxury watches to Porches. Anyone who needs a short-term loan can call to arrange an appointment - it usually takes no longer than 15 minutes to arrange the loan. Hola Credito keeps its cost down by doing the majority of its work online and calculates interest on loans on a daily basis. This means only paying interest on the exact number of days the loan is taken, and no hidden costs or penalties. Hola Credito is Spain’s leading shortterm loan company and accepts a range of luxury assets including watches, jewellery, cars and boats. Loans can be from 14 days to six months, and usually Hola Credito can provide loans at 5 per cent per month. Once the loan is agreed and the assets received, funds are transferred to the client’s bank, or cash collected from Hola Credito’s offices. Call us on 900 123 457

Where is my new EHIC? By Pete Woodall (Woody’s Los Boliches) THE EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), issued by the British healthcare system to British pensioners resident abroad, cannot be renewed online. That service is reserved for residents of the UK only. To renew a British EHIC from Spain call 0044 191 218 1999, Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm, and be sure to press option #1. DWP phone lines are very busy so be prepared to hold. Applicants should have their national insurance or national health number to hand and any change of address details, as the operator will arrange to forward a form to that address which must be filled in and returned to the UK. Once the process has been completed, a new medical card will be sent through the mail. This whole process can take up to one month.

The EHIC card is for free or reduced cost emergency medical treatment for EU/EEA and Swiss nationals when temporarily outside their own country or usual country of residence. It is free and entitles the holder to the same state medical care, under the same conditions, as would be provided to a national or resident of the country they are in. In some EU/EAA countries there may be a partial payment charge for this which is generally no longer reimbursable.

Anyone resident and working in Spain needs to apply for their EHIC card from their local Spanish social security office or online at http://www.seg-social.es. The information is available in Spanish, English and other languages. Residents of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not eligible for an EHIC

End of an era for Page 3 WHAT has been a British tabloid institution for the past 44 years is now a thing of the past as The Sun newspaper has dropped its legendary and controversial Page 3 topless model section. The Guardian newspaper reported that management at The Sun had taken the ‘landmark decision’ to drop the tradition of featuring a topless glamour model on Page 3 each day, and for the past few days the tabloid favourite has featured women in skimpy clothing, but not topless. Recent Page 3 pictures have shown

scantily-clad models in bikinis and underwear, but not baring their breasts as had been the norm since the first Page 3 girl – Stephanie Rahn – stripped off in November 1970. It is reported that the feature will continue online, but not in print editions, and that the decision was taken by owner Rupert Murdoch. The Sun’s Irish edition

dropped Page 3 girls in August 2013, and the decision to drop topless women from the UK edition will delight the scores of critics who have labelled Page 3 as sexist and tasteless. The Sun’s Page 3 helped launch the careers of many British models including Samantha Fox, Linda Lusardi and Melinda Messenger.

List of shame gets improved tax results MORE people are paying their taxes in Spain than formerly. According to Cristobal Montoro, the minister responsible for Spain’s tax authority Hacienda, this stems from the department’s announced plan to publish a list of the biggest non-payers. Asked recently when the public could expect to see this list, Montoro replied that the government intends it

Cristobal Montoro: ‘List to be published soon.’

Spanish firms with a lot to sell DESPITE the crisis, Spain’s biggest companies are still included amongst 250 of the world’s biggest retailers. At their head is Mercadona, which was placed 42nd in the rankings of the 2015 Global Powers of Retailing report compiled by Deloitte and Stores magazine. The report analyses performance based on publicly available data for the 2013 fiscal year. To be eligible, each company must have an annual turnover of at least $3.8 billion (€3.22 billion). Mercadona retains the position it occupied last year but Inditex - in other words the Zara empire and the DIA supermarket

chain have both moved up places. Inditex is now ranked at 44 compared with 45 last year, while DIA moved from 73rd to 72nd position. El Corte Ingles lost four places in this year’s ranking, going down from 62 to 64, while Eroski dropped from 127th place to 136th. Of the five Spanish businesses on the Global Powers of Retailing report, only Inditex has consistently moved up in the rankings during the crisis years. This period has been less kind to El Corte Ingles, which was Spain’s biggest national retailer five years ago and occupied 39th position.

Poaching clients pays off LANDLINE, mobile, internet and television packages are revolutionising the communications sector. Proof of this are the figures for number portability where users transfer from one company to another while retaining their original number. Jazztel and Ono have been particularly adept at poaching from other providers and last year acquired more than two million clients this way,

although neither company owns its own mobile network. Ironically, the four operators who do possess their own networks - Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and Yoigo - lost more clients than they gained in 2014. By the end of last year, Jazztel gained 612,259 rivals’ clients, although this was a fall of 22.5 per cent compared to 2013. Ono acquired 462,570 clients, 21.9 per cent fewer than in 2013.

Hacienda is also working with the judiciary to make public the names of citizens found guilty of fraud, Montoro said.

Get ahead by thinking ahead THE scariest words a new boss or manager can say are: “There are going to be changes here.” Such fatal words causes employees to freak out. Don’t panic; many bosses refuse to embrace change too. I speak from experience. Very much technophobic, I resisted when, during the 1980s, my wife suggested I consider the pluses a PC had over a typewriter. Impressed, I went through the learning curve and bless the day she persuaded me to embrace change. Many businesses are held back by their owner’s reluctance to take advantage of change. I recall a managing director spelling out the

difference in American and British business attitudes. Previously Marketing Director of an American corporation, he explained: “In America, when a salesman suggests something new, an appointment is made and the proposal

considered. If the boss likes it, he acts decisively. If he doesn’t, he says no. “Here,” the executive told me, “the hardest bit is getting a boss to even see you.” A favourite cartoon depicts a sales rep trying to grab the attention of a medieval king directing a battle in which arrows are being exchanged. The salesman has on offer a Gatling machine gun and boxes of ammunition. A short burst would be a game changer. Alas, the king is too busy to see him. During the 80s, few retailers accepted plastic. I did and business improved by 40 per cent. Vainly I tried

to convince a retailer to follow my example. He was dismissive and soon afterwards his business collapsed. A nearby retailer, selling similar items, told me that 90 per cent of her business was done on credit or debit cards. It was the same when cash-points were first offered to retailers and petrol stations. A convenience store owner who had installed a cash-point told me that it made more money than the rest of the shop. Others couldn’t or wouldn’t see it. Now, years later, the same retailers caught on and they now swear by them. Businesses too are peer led.

GETTING a job these days is a tough thing to achieve. And even more so if you feel that your CV doesn’t scream, “hire me.” Maybe you’ve been out of work for a few years while raising a family. Maybe you never went to university and don’t have fancy titles or qualifications to put down on paper, or perhaps you just weren’t very good at school. But this doesn’t mean that you don’t have skills and aren’t worth hiring. So how do you jazz up your CV to let employers know that you are a good choice? According to business experts, degrees and qualifications aren’t the only

employers are looking for. Personal skills such as ‘good communication,’ ‘organisation,’ ‘time management,’ ‘being a team player’ or ‘having leadership tendencies’ are just as essential within a work setting as are qualifications.

The more skills you possess, the more employable you will become

A lot of potential employees look great on paper, with excellent degrees, but when you ask them to communicate, they really struggle. While some workers are promoted because they are technically competent, but this doesn’t automatically mean they have the skills to engage and motivate a team. Therefore, it’s important to remember that academic skills and soft

Exactly who pays to fix the pipe? Q. Under the Horizontal Law, do the gardens of the townhouses within the Community belong to the owners of each property or to the Community which allows the owners the right to use them as their private land ? In the case of a damaged water pipe or electric line feeding the property, is the owner responsible for the

repair or the Community? I should think that the Community is responsible for the services from the central meter position to the point of entry to the property. Perhaps different insurance companies hold differing views on this. R.B. (Costa Blanca)

You and the Law in Spain By David Searl

A. First, you are correct to point out that the gardens are in fact the property of the Community, which assigns the exclusive use to each owner. It is the same for terraces. All those apartment terraces do not really belong to the apartment owners. The completely private property ends at the exterior wall of the structure. The basic legal doctrine for electric, water or gas services is that from the main line to the meter, the company is responsible for maintenance and repair. From the meter into the consumer’s property, the owner is responsible. Now you suppose that, if the Community is the real owner of this pipe, they must be

responsible for its upkeep. But no, the Spanish courts have routinely ruled that ‘exclusive use’ means the individual

owner is obligated to pay to fix the broken line from the meter to his property. And, yes, in those Communities where the meters for water or electricity are grouped in a central location, this means long pipelines to each individual flat or house. This makes it easy for the meterreaders, but increases the owner’s risk. In real life, if you had followed us closely over the last few months, you would have seen differing outcomes, just as you suggest. In one case, the Community accepted responsibility with no problem. They paid for the repair. However, in another case, the owner had to pay. There are two steps you can take. You can propose to the Community at the AGM that they install individual meters at the entrance to each property, or that they formally accept responsibility for the maintenance. You can also make sure your insurance will cover you.

skills are as important as each other, so highlight yours. If you lack actual working experience, then demonstrate how in your day-to-day life you may have developed and gained skill-sets. Find examples and be able to talk about them with confidence. For example, a mother, wanting to go back to work, could illustrate how juggling three kids and running a home has equipped her with Bondlike multi-tasking abilities, and patience. And finally, to make yourself more employable, brush up on computer skills to show that you really understand spreadsheets and how to produce a killer presentation. Stay informed about your chosen profession. Organise some impressive references from former employers or teachers, and learn some new skills. The more skills you possess, the more employable you will become.

Too cheap OLIVE oil sector trade union UPA accused supermarkets of selling the product as a loss-leader. They charge a few cents over €3 for a litre of extra virgin oil which costs that much to produce while three and five-litre carafes work out at an unrealistic €2.64 a litre, UPA lamented.

Money back A MADRID court ordered Barclays to pay €330,030 compensation plus €3,424 commission to a married couple, both pensioners, who were mis-sold structured bonds. Although this was done without criminal or fraudulent intent, the couple, who were uninformed countrypeople, were not adequately warned of the financial risks involved, a judge ruled.

OPINION & COMMENT

Yes please, Mr Darcy, a bit of romance for me I READ with interest and dismay Colin Bird’s disrespectful article about Jane Austen. She wrote in times when ladies were expected to behave themselves until marriage and men had to wait. Fluttering hearts and heaving bosoms, bonnets and handkerchiefs were not to be sniffed at. A gel who allowed more than a peck on the cheek was ruined and the man might be forced to marry her to preserve his own honour. So none of this “I’ll still respect you in the morning and of course you won’t get pregnant” business for Lizzie Bennett. I mean, look what happened to silly Lydia! There’s not a lady of my acquaintance who would not have a flutter on Mr Darcy so I can only presume that there’s an element of jealousy, Mr Bird. I ask in all seriousness, when did you last gallop across the moors on your trusty steed to rescue your princess from a soaking in a storm? So, yes, of course Jane’s novels have modern men huffing with frustration, but we gels like a bit of romance before surrendering to manly arms with a sigh of ecstasy. Having said that, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a man in wet keks... Suzanne Stokes (by email)

No vacancies BILL CAMPBELL’S letter needs a response. As a member of the EU we are not allowed to make a trade deal with China, never mind Australia. England (not the UK) has now overtaken Netherlands as the most densely-populated country in Europe. With the EU’s free movement of labour how can we ever invest sufficiently in public services with net immigration of 266,000 a year? What would be an acceptable limit to immigration for Bill Campbell? Half-a-million? A million? The EU is undemocratic, corrupt and staffed by failed

Gasman con TWO men presented themselves as representatives of a firm called Fenosa Gas Natural. They said they had to test all outlets and came into my kitchen where one man produced a meter to test them. He remained there, talking to me and getting lots of information: was I living alone, was this a holiday home or did I live here all year round? The other man said he was going to another house but in fact he was in my bedroom, ransacking it. He took all my money, plus he emptied my jewellery box. They insisted I get my passport to complete their forms and asked for €125 to pay for the inspection. I said I hadn’t got it and they suggested I go to the bank to withdraw it. I said this wasn’t possible and they said they would come back in two days to collect it. They now had sufficient information about my passport, my address and my signature for identity theft. They shook hands

and wished me a ‘Happy New Year.’ Readers, watch out for them. Jean Smith (by email)

Easy prey I WOULD like to warn drivers about parking their vehicles near or outside the Mercadona supermarket in Nueva Torrequebrada, Benalmadena Costa. I have been towed away from this location even though there are no yellow lines where I parked, no signs to say it is a restricted area and no indication that this is a tow-away zone. I am very annoyed that the authorities find it an easy location for making more money and preying on unsuspecting, law-

abiding road users. If they want us all to join the Padron so that more money is provided for the area, they should consider that this type of behaviour is not helping but only making us very angry. A formal warning under the windscreen wiper would sort this out without heavy fines being imposed for a first bewildering offence. Rob Turner (by email)

Cold comfort DEAR Mr Cameron, I’m addressing this to you and although I know you will never read it, it just makes me feel better. I am an expat living in Spain but you are probably not aware or even care that winters here can get very cold. Have you ever been here in winter? No, thought not. Homes are built to be cool, not warm, and the heating for my home is a Butano gas fire. This time of year one canister lasts around 10 days and my heating allowance paid for these. Not only do we have the least generous state pension in Europe which, I might add, I have paid into all my working life, but now you have stolen £200 off me.

Weeded out VOLUNTEERS of La Mata began a project of removing invasive plants in 2011. When we cleared an area in Torreta 3, each plant had to be dug out individually by hand and the debris put into plastic bags and disposed of in a specific place so as not to spread the seeds or roots. What the town hall appears to have done in the Mi Sol area is tear over the ground willy-nilly with a machine, leaving all the debris where it fell, an excellent way to spread the invasive plants even further. We, the Volunteers of La Mata, have an ongoing project of replanting the cleared areas, as well as our normal job of vigilance with regard to dogs off leads, rubbish, etc, and are supposed to be helping in the Torreta 3 project. It would be nice if the media could be made aware of the fact that a small group of expats has been working for 12 years to look after this national park. Jenny Dodd (by email)

Life sentences ANYBODY know where Mark Chapman is, the convicted murderer who killed John Lennon in New York 34 years ago last December? Answer: in the ‘slammer’ where he’ll most likely spend the rest of his life. Some individuals should be kept off the streets for everyone else’s safety. Even Chapman didn’t murder 24 innocent victims, as did Ines del Rio here in Spain. However, due to a ridiculously unjust edict recently proclaimed by Strasbourg (the Parot Doctrine), Spain has been compelled to release Del Río and other mass murderers. Its sovereignty and penal system of justice have been obliterated in one fell swoop! Richard M McBride, Benidorm (Alicante)

jan kranendonk

RIP to the latest victims LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

OME 30 years ago I warned that the next world conflict would be against Islam extremism. Naturally my views were brushed aside as another of ‘Leapy’s rants.’ I also forewarned if the authorities didn’t wake up to the threat it would be too late because the enemy would be ensconced everywhere. Well, the authorities didn’t and the enemy is. In towns and cities all over the civilized world there are thousands of Islamic terrorist cells, planning and awaiting instructions to create mayhem and slaughter from within. If we had been infiltrated on this scale by the Nazis before the Second World War we would have been wiped out. I also see that prison ‘radicalisation’ is now (at last) becoming a worry. This was actually the situation which first alerted me to related problems that could ensue in the future. During my incarceration in ‘76, I observed at first hand the type of violent thugs and

ISLAMIC EXTREMISM: The authorities need to wake up to the threat. criminals that were being converted to Islam. Coupled with the almost fanatic following of the religion I had experienced from living in a Muslim country for eight years, the selection of these radical new converts somehow set off alarm bells. As far as I could see there were no pacifists or peaceful individuals being encouraged

to join these sects, just dangerous men with low intellect and most of them doing time for acts of violence. Unless there were dubious plans for the future of these men, it didn’t make any sense. So the old Leaper’s assumptions weren’t the senseless ravings of an old senile pop singer, but common sense deductions of a

number of situations as I interpreted them. And if I could see it, why couldn’t our highly remunerated security experts? I also find the reactions of the so-called moderate Muslims a bit low key. One can only compare them to the German and Irish pacifists who voiced their dissent in shadowy cafés, with their names withheld and these days with their faces pixel’d out. To be taken seriously these people need to bury their fears and, if great numbers of them do indeed exist, rise up together. Jam the streets with thousands of Muslims decrying and condemning these vicious inhuman atrocities. Just see the support you get from the millions of your fellow human beings who believe in democracy and free speech - whatever their religious leanings. Somehow I fear that is not exactly the plot, is it? Well, as far as I’m concerned, if you don’t condemn something, then you condone it. May all those killed in these latest atrocities RIP. I’d rather put my money on you inhabiting the halls of paradise than those who put you there. ‘Je Suis Charlie.’ Keep the faith. Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

Something in my eye, but not stars! Colin Bird Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-the-wall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

AM not a television critic, but I find myself constantly whinging about recent offerings on the box. It’s not that my eyes are wide-screen HD ready jobs, but on the occasions I do sit down and watch a bit of telly, there seems to be something showing that raises my hackles or has me slopping my beer in exasperation. Now once again I am itching to comment on something that was broadcast last week - the new series of Stars in Their Eyes. To be precise, Harry Hill’s Stars in Their Eyes - or as it turned out: The Harry Hill Show. Perhaps we are sad people, but we were looking forward to this and we remember the Matthew Kelly days with fondness. There were always a few good acts amongst the mediocre - one or two brilliant

HARRY HILL: Has tweaked the format without success.

enough to go on and secure long runs at some of the better known pubs. Any new series should start off with a bang, but if this first crop of acts is anything to go by, future Saturday nights will be reduced to an evening of Karaoke wannabes playing supporting roles to Harry and the smoke. I realise this is not supposed to be a look-alike contest, but I would have thought that more effort could have gone into making this bunch a little more like their idols. The Everly Brothers were a bloke and his missus, for goodness sake - it was all a bit creepy and they reminded me of the Kray twins on wacky baccy. And I hope Kylie was not watching, because the lady who aspired to perform like the Ozzie sex bomb, had about as much movement as a pound note in Scrooge’s wallet. Harry Hill - with his trademark windbreaker collars, brothel creeper shoes and squint - has been an obvious success.

His weird take on life and witty voice overs in You’ve Been Framed are well known. But when he was approached to host the new Stars in Their Eyes, he made it a condition that he be allowed to ‘tweak’ the format. And there’s the problem. People like little Ant and miniature Dec have stood the test of time, because they have deftly slipped into each new project whilst cleverly retaining their own distinct identity. Harry on the other hand has adapted a tried and tested format to revolve entirely around him and his brand of slapstick humour, which, in my ’umble opinion, is totally misplaced here, and has resulted in a car crash of a programme. The second show will now have been screened and I suspect that like before, I will have hidden my face in embarrassment, carefully avoiding slopping my beer this time.

OPINION & COMMENT

OR Los Montesinos salon owner Chantelle Lambert, the super power she would most like to have, particularly at this time of year when everyone is trying to get fit and healthy, would be “to have the power to do an automatic detox.” She joked: “And the power to not suffer from any hangovers!” Dianne Kilner from 1 Stop Pool Shop in Albox, Almeria, would use her powers for good. “I wish I could predict the future,” she said. “I would want to be able to stop bad things from happening and save lives.

How cool would that be?!” Stars in their Eyes contestant Emily Hullmann, from Quesada, said she would love to have the super power of being psychic: “It would be really interesting and great to be able to read people’s minds and get an idea of what people are really like and what they are thinking.” She joked: “and the power to grow a money tree in my living room would be nice as well!” Michelle from Ace of Shades in Mijas,

the Costa Del Sol’s specialist in awnings, blinds, glass curtains, mosquito screens and home improvements said she would most like to fly! “How lovely it would be to go anywhere I chose to, whenever I wanted! To be able see anyone at any time would be amazing! I could pop back to the UK and see my grandchildren, although I would definitely need a jumper or a coat!” We agree! Brrrr!

Marbella going Dutch with Dario Poli

By Dilip Kuner

WE DO!

ARIO POLI, otherwise known as the Renaissance Man, is on a mission to bring together Marbella and Amsterdam. The multi-talented writer, musician and artist has written a musical ‘thriller’ set in the Dutch capital along with his Scottish compatriot David Mairs. Both the plot and music of the musical link the two cities, now the challenge is to find someone to produce the show, called ‘Amsterdam’, in the city itself. “We are all ready to go,” explained Dario, who has put together a multi-faceted team to help turn his dream of a “touching and complex tale of romance, twists of fate and feel good music from Flamenco to Celtic” into reality. It also contains ‘Dan Brown’ style mystery and twists to make for a hugely entertaining show. Dario said: “Everyone thought I was mad, that it couldn’t be done. But I am the type of

person who when he puts his mind to something makes the impossible possible.” Dario, who grew up in Glasgow, has been associated with Marbella for 20 years. “It is a lovely city and I decided I wanted to do something to help it in the years when the recession was at its worst,” he said. This led to his highly successful ‘Marbella, Marbella’ campaign which pushed the virtues of the city and promoted it worldwide. “I wanted to put Marbella back on the map. With the help of some wonderful people that is what we have done.” He explained that ‘Amsterdam The Musical’ was a great way of getting Marbella’s name onto the international stage. “I have had an enormous amount of interest in Holland, but negotiations are at a delicate stage because of the politics in the theatre world. “I am trying to get the Dutch community on the Costa del Sol

involved in the project as well. Marga de Jong of Houses of Art gallery has offered her premises to launch the musical, and it is hoped that Marbella Mayor Angela Muñoz will attend, and possibly a representative from Amsterdam City Hall. It would be fantastic if they could attend, but everyone will be welcome. If we can find a Dutchperson with some contacts in the theatre world that would be great!” said Dario. The exhibition will feature a picture central to the plot painted by Spanish painter Ose del Sol. Dario said: “The team has been great, now all we need is to get the show on stage!” Can you help Dario realise his dream of staging the musical in Amsterdam? If so contact Dilip Kuner at: dilip@euro weeklynews.com

ECENTLY, there’s been much coverage in the Spanish press about the high level of corruption cases here involving members of both mainstream political parties, each hurling accusations at the other. Corruption scandals are now so numerous that Spanish TV news lump them together in one swift round-up. Ranging from King Felipe’s sister’s indictment for tax fraud plus her husband’s alleged embezzlement to the alleged slush fund operated by Spain’s governing conservative party, these seem to pop up in Spanish society at so many levels. From admired footballer Lionel Messi, world-famous opera singer Montserrat Caballe, former Barcelona football club president Josep Núñez, to former president of the Catalan regional government Jordi Pujol - all

accused of tax fraud. In a recent damning report, Spain’s Audit Court found nearly all Spanish political parties guilty of financial crimes. Ironically, all this corruption has inspired a couple of Spanish board games. Both D€mocracy and Corruptopolis invite players to grab at power or become the most corrupt, reflecting real-life scandals. D€mocracy’s goal is to gain and stay in power for as long as it takes. Anything goes: from leaking documents slandering your opponents, to shunting inquisitive judges off politically sensitive cases, to

FINANCIAL CRIMES: Nearly all Spanish political parties guilty. buying up media companies to control your campaign coverage. Alternatively, Corruptopolis’s aim is to spotlight the scandals that have enveloped politicians of the left and right as well as businesses, trade unions and football clubs. Well, glasshouses and stones come to mind but, hopefully, Brits will be the last to throw

anything in light of their politicians’ past expenses shenanigans and Transparency International’s 2013 findings that 66 per cent of its UK respondents felt that political parties were ‘corrupt/extremely corrupt.’ But, you know, scandal/ corruption’s also about less obvious aspects of life. Like NHS hospital managers too focused

on business, cash and targets, not patient care - with fatal results as in Mid-Staffordshire. Police going after ‘easy’ targets to improve clear-up rates. BBC management turning a blind eye to Savile’s activities. Market scams, rate fixing, etc. The apparent inability to find an unbiased judge to head a much-needed inquiry into wideranging, large-scale child abuse. Based on these criteria, the UK is hardly corruption/scandal-free. As D€mocracy’s creator says: “Our politicians never stop surprising us.” I couldn’t have put it better myself.

School for September

Oil spill plan published

THE new St Bernard’s School for infant and middleschool children is to open this September. The purposebuilt facilities at the old St Bernard’s Hospital site will house the current St Bernard’s School and the Sacred Heart Middle School. At a cost of around £17 million (€22 million), the school will house eight school years and incorporates a sports hall and play area on top.

GIBRALTAR Port Authority (GPA) has announced the publication of its revised Oil Spill Contingency Plan following an in-depth review. It is tailored specifically to routine activities in the port and in Gibraltar territorial waters. “The environmental protection of our waters is paramount,” said minister for the port, Paul Balban.

THE people of Northern Ireland have been called upon to give moral support to Gibraltar following a trip by Albert Poggio, Gibraltar’s Northern Ireland-born UK representative. Ahead of Chief Minister Fabian Picardo’s planned trip to Northern Ireland later this year, Poggio is the son of parents who were evacuated from the Rock when it was needed by the military. The family settled in Co Antrim and this week’s visit to his birthplace is only his second time in the country. Speaking about his visit to the Northern Irish website News Letter, Poggio said: “It’s a little bit special because there’s a lot of history between Gibraltar and Northern Ireland. Most of the population was evacuated to Northern Ireland during World War Two – 60 per cent.” He added: “I’m organising a formal visit by the Gibraltar Government. The idea is of course we need to explain the problems Gibraltar is having with our neighbour, Spain – our aggressive neighbour – and our fight for the right to selfdetermination.” Poggio’s visit to Northern Ireland was at the invitation of DUP MP Ian Paisley, a member of the All Party Parliamentary group on Gibraltar. Poggio could not confirm when the chief minister will visit Northern Ireland.

GAMBITS, checkmates and endgames will be the order of the day at the 2015 Gibraltar International Chess Festival, one of the world’s most prestigious open tournaments. Starting small in 2003, the festival has grown in size and now features world players. It will be held at the Caleta Hotel, Catalan Bay, from January 25 until February 5: www.gibraltarchesscongress.com

FA warns of dodgy tickets for European qualifiers THE Gibraltar Football Association has warned fans not to be fooled by non-authorised websites offering tickets to forthcoming Gibraltar European qualifiers. As of yet there are no tickets on sale for any of Gibraltar’s remaining home qualifiers at the Victoria Stadium, and information on how and where fans can purchase tickets for these fixtures will be released in due course, including online ticket sales. Tickets for away matches will go on sale once the Gibraltar FA receives its allocations from the respective home association. However, tickets starting at €119 have already been put up for sale for the match against

Checkmate!

VICTORIA STADIUM: Gibraltar have three home qualifiers remaining. Scotland in March at Hampden Park on an unauthorised website. Tickets have not even been printed yet and fans are advised to only purchase tickets

from ticketing agencies or online outlets officially advised by the Gibraltar FA. Gibraltar’s remaining European qualifying games are

against Scotland, Germany, Republic of Ireland, Poland, Georgia and a final match against Scotland again in October.

A global environmental voice THE Gibraltar Department of the Environment has joined the world’s largest global environmental network. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has admitted Gibraltar as a member in the ‘ground-breaking achievement’ for the department. The IUCN acts as a United Nations observer and has consultative status on several international conventions on nature conservation, biodiversity and climate change. Members of the IUCN – which now includes Gibraltar – are able to provide input to the policy advice and technical support that the IUCN offers to the OECD, the World Bank, the G8, the G77, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and the World Economic Forum, amongst other multinational organisations. “I am extremely pleased that we are now a member of

IUCN,” said Dr John Cortes, Gibraltar’s Environment Minister. “It takes us into a global network in our own right and reflects the incredible work that the Government has been doing on the environment over the last few years. I intend to take a personal interest in developing our involvement in IUCN work, not least because I have had contact with the organisation for many years during my work before I was a minister. For Gibraltar it is yet another instance of recognition of the contribution we can make at an international level.” Gibraltar can now benefit from the IUCN’s scientific network, convening power and access to high-level political, economic and social decision-making. These networking opportunities will also help identify common interests, new partners and potential funding sources as well as consolidate Gibraltar’s position on the environmental-political map.

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

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You realise this week how liberating it is to share your thoughts and feelings with someone close. It is not always easy to do this, until you realise everyone has them. Some hopes and dreams are more attainable than others, of course, and someone has to find out which are which.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) After a relaxed weekend, it might prove difficult to take up the reins of work again. However, midweek sees you trotting along happily and minding your own business when someone stops you in your tracks. When a challenge is issued, your natural stubbornness comes to the fore. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) With a mind as sharp as a needle, you spin through the week, weaving your own charming spell. A bit of extra confidence works wonders for your mood. Something that you read sets you thinking about doing some writing or creating something artistic, perhaps even a musical. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Although energy is not high, there is the need to have some kind of challenge. With the brain active, it is an ideal time to plot and plan your next moves. Maybe something that has been delayed might now be advanced. You find it hard to choose between opportunities. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The imagination stirs and the heart races at a suggestion this week.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Reading the small print or being sure what is offered in a personal encounter is most important this week. Leave nothing to chance or you could be out of pocket.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) A suggestion made by you recently did not seem to be taken seriously. This week, however, negotiations could be opened. Circumstances change and it may seem someone gave up too early. Bide your time and even hold your tongue when someone in a strong position spouts rubbish.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Being over-generous with cash midweek could see you making a poor move. Perhaps someone needs to be more hardworking or perhaps less of a spendthrift. Propping up a bad habit would be doing them no favours.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Confidence in a close relationship should be maintained. Possibly someone who envies your position would like to see discord. A matter of spiritual or religious faith is questioned, but the answer comes more clearly and sharply than you would have thought.

Your strong intuition tells you it is the right thing to do.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 December 21) An emotional cut-off from the past is not as bad as anticipated. Indeed, it confirms in your mind who you are and what your place in the world is. Inherited traits knit easily with your present life and bring contentment. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) An investment made recently is built upon and brings peace of mind. Finances do need consideration but more in the long than the short-term. Much is happening in the background that does not require your attention but, all the same, be aware.

TOP 10 OSCAR MOMENTS

SPONSORED BY For solutions: http://www.euroweeklynews.com/puzzle-answers.html

THE annual Academy Awards are consistently the source of endless column inches, debate and controversy. From lengthy gushing speeches, wardrobe malfunctions, undeserved winners and presenter faux pas, the Oscars each year never fail to generate some sort of gossip. With this year’s nominees recently announced, we take a look back at some of the most memorable Oscar moments. 1. Only in Hollywood can an actress win both an award for best performance and an award for worst performance in the same year, but Sandra Bullock managed to in 2010. She won her Oscar for The Blind Side, but the day before had been awarded a Razzie (recognising the worst in film) for her performance in All About Steve. 2. After decades of directing some of the best films of all time, somehow Steven Spielberg was perpetually ignored when it came to Oscar time. He was finally recognised in 1993 for Schindler’s List, grabbing the Best Director award and Best Picture award. Similarly, Martin Scorsese one of the best directors of the century didn’t get an Oscar until 2007.

She goes to the police and soon becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, and in the lives of everyone involved. Has Rachel done more harm than good? 4. Gwyneth Paltrow had audiences around the world squirming in their seats during her lengthy acceptance speech for Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love in 1999. Unable to contain her tears, she blubbed, weeped, sobbed and wailed her way through a long list of people she needed to thank and blathered on vaguely about her upbringing. Cringe.’

and behaved like a giddy schoolboy, endearing himself to all who witnessed it. 6. The Oscar ‘selfie’ with host Ellen DeGeneres and a multitude of top A-list Hollywood stars in 2014 became the most Tweeted photo ever and has been valued at nearly $1 billion (€850 million) to phone maker Samsung. 7. Jennifer Garner lost the run of herself when she clumsily tripped on her dress while making her way to the stage to accept her award, but nicely recovered by stepping up to the microphone and informing the crowd: “I do all my own stunts!” 8. At the sixth Oscars in 1934, presenter Will Rogers announced the Best Director winner by shouting: “Come and get it Frank!” But there were two Frank’s nominated. Frank Capra dashed onto the stage only to find the winner was actually Frank Lloyd. 9. George C. Scott won the Best Actor award at the 43rd Oscars for his role in Patton, but summed up the ceremony as “a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reasons.” Talk about ungrateful. 10. The television world sees Samuel L Jackson mouth “Aww s***!” when he is beaten for the Best Supporting Actor Award for his role in Pulp Fiction.

Whilst I love Christmas, I also feel a sense of relief when the festive season is over. It’s like turning over a new leaf. I’m not one for making New Year resolutions, preferring to face the year ahead with optimism, clear the decks and start afresh.

Putting a happy face on a serious disease Becky Baker was recently named as a winner in the Euro Weekly News’s Make a Wish campaign. Dilip Kuner talked to her to find out more about her inspirational story…

A happy child…

ECKY BAKER is a beautiful young woman living under a death sentence. The 30-year-old has cystic fibrosis (CF) - those afflicted with the genetic disease have an average life expectancy of 35 - and knows the clock is ticking. The petite blonde has lost several friends to the disease in the past few months. Her own health has deteriorated to the extent she has to carry an oxygen supply around with her as her lungs are functioning at only 28 per cent of their capacity. Her hopes of a lung transplant have fallen through because she has Hepatitis C – contracted from a contaminated blood transfusion when she underwent stomach surgery at the age of 18. She readily admits that being a CF sufferer is difficult, but her attitude to life and living with the disease is inspirational. Becky is making sure she lives life to the full; there is no sitting back and feeling sorry for herself. With a smile on her face, Becky said: “I am a positive person. People with CF tend to be very sensitive and value every minute of life because they know it could be taken away from them at any moment. I have lost five friends in the last few months, all aged between 20 and 30. That is very difficult. "It is a very scary and upsetting and horrible disease. Because it is rare no one seems to know about it. The first time any of my friends heard about it was when they met me.”

BECKY BAKER: Her attitude to life is inspirational.

Lifelong CD dream Becky’s latest plan to raise money for CF research – and in many ways one of her lifelong dreams – is to record her own CD. She said: I have been singing all my life; I used to be in a band. Now she is looking for someone who can help realise her ambition and raise money for the CF foundation. “I will need a recording studio, but have no idea how to go about it or where to go. I also want to set up a gig. Maybe someone out there can help me?” If you can help please email: dilip@euroweeklynews.com For that reason she hopes to publicise the disease, for which there is as yet no cure, in a bid to help raise funds for research into it. Sitting with a coffee, a serious expression came over her normally happy face as she said: “There is a new medicine on the horizon which may be of great help, but because CF is so little known there is no money to pay for clinical trials It costs £200,000 to put one person through.” To that end she and her family have been putting their energies into fundraising to research CF, and so far they

have raised thousands of pounds. Selflessly she puts research first, although she has needs of her own which could be helped with some money for herself. Becky has a real zest for life. She wanted to join a sponsored parachute jump that her grandfather and stepfather were doing, but she had to pull out as her lung capacity dwindled. But she was still determined to do something out of the ordinary, so she took to the skies in a sponsored para-trike microlight aircraft flight. Those who have seen such

apparently flimsy machines will suspect Becky has reserves of determination and courage to have climbed aboard and trusted herself to it. It was worth it, though, not just for the rush she got, but also because of the £1,000 she raised for CF research. To that can be added the £2,000 she had previously raised by singing in gigs in the Alhaurin de la Torre and Fuengirola areas. Granddad David Gilbert aged 80, and her 60-year-old teacher stepfather Ken Spencer raised thousands more in their parachute jump.

Becky grew up with her elder sister Natalie and younger brother Anthony. Originally from Burnham-on-Sea, she still has a Somerset lilt to her voice, despite having lived in Spain since the age of 12. She lived in the Fuengirola area before moving to Alhaurin de la Torre to be nearer hospital. Becky said: “I am very grateful to my mum Sarah. She is my rock and is an amazing, amazing woman. Some mothers of children with CF are maybe a little overprotective. My mum let me do anything within reason of course as I grew up.” CF is something Becky has had to live with all her life, with it particularly affecting her digestive system. As a child she had to take 24 tablets with every meal as well as a daily regime of physiotherapy. She recalled: “It never really seemed to worry me. Yes, it was unpleasant, but I just got on with it. I was a happy child.” CF is a genetic disease in which sticky mucus forms in the lungs and major organs. As infections set in, scarring occurs. Many sufferers need transplants to extend their lives.

Children susceptible to Wi-fi radiation

A CONTROVERSIAL study has called for parents to try and limit their offsprings’ exposure to Wi-fi over fears it could harm their health. The report, published in the Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure, claims children absorb more radiation from a source than adults. It warns that foetuses are the most vulnerable of all, and researchers say mothers should not carry mobile phones in their clothing. A paediatric neurologist said that pregnant women deserve to know that wireless radiation can have an impact on the developing brain: “We’re seeing alarming increases in the number of children diagnosed with neurological disorders over the past decade, and anything we can do that might help reduce that rate should be taken very seriously.” Wi-fi signals use low intensity

adults are interested in using a smartwatch with fitness functionality and 40 per cent are interested in wearable devices that track heart rate, blood pressure and movement. However, despite constant

innovation in healthcare when it comes to wearable tech, the beauty category remains a fairly untapped market. A skin-like medical device developed by researchers in the UK could change this. The device

uses wireless technology and tiny liquid crystals on a flexible substrate to sense changes in thermal properties of the skin. The device stretches and compresses as the skin moves, making it ideal to wear during the

day. As nearly two thirds (64 per cent) of UK consumers used some type of body care product in the last year and 54 per cent agree it is important to moisturise, this is key in the body care category.

Feeling cold is catching FEELING cold can be contagious as research says that just looking at somebody shivering is enough to make us feel cold. The study involved 36 participants each watching eight videos of actors putting their hands in either warm or cold water. As they watched, the temperature of their own hands was measured

and the temperature dropped as they watched the cold videos. Temperatures, however, did not change when they watched the hot videos. The research by scientists at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School, UK, showed that humans were susceptible to ‘temperature contagion.’

WORKING more than 48 hours a week leaves you more susceptible to becoming a heavy drinker, according to new research. The European Working Time Directive gives people the right to work no more than 48 hours each week, including overtime and a new study has found that working over those hours can lead to ‘risky’

alcohol consumption. ‘Risky’ consumption is classed as more than 14 alcoholic drinks for women and 21 for men, raising a person’s risk of liver disease, cancer, stroke, coronary heart disease and mental health problems. The study was carried out by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, on the association between long

working hours and alcohol use. Their study analysed 333,693 people across 14 countries and found that longer working hours increased the likelihood of higher alcohol use by 11 per cent. Researchers said that no differences were seen between men and women or by age group, socioeconomic status or region.

The RED menu at Hermosa for continental cuisine to keep you warm over the winter WHAT a delight Hermosa is. Just at the entrance of Cabapino port and in sight of the luxury yachts on the marina, I was pleasantly surprised to find a modern, contemporary feel restaurant in a location with predominately traditional looking venues. Looking through the full length windows into an interior of soft driftwood whites and greys, dark wood floors, black and white photography surfing prints, ceiling fans and elegant lighting, it had all of the subtle elements of the balmy Southern Californian Hermosa Beach theme that is perfect for its location. With a warm welcome by owners Melissa and Alex I was instantly put at ease and there is a real sense of softness and comfort in the muted colours and sophisticated decor throughout Hermosa, only heightened by the calm and efficient service at this perfectly sized restaurant. The Winter Red menu that Alex and Melissa offer throughout January and February, two of the coldest months on the Costa Del Sol, and right up until Easter, is

DELIGHTFUL: A modern contemporary feel. guaranteed to chase away any lingering winter blues. With a perfect blend of Mexican and Asian influences, the delicately balanced combinations of traditional, hearty food with a contemporary twist will provide that warm glow we all crave at this time of year. Contained within the RED menu options are starters which include Chicken Liver Pate, blended to a perfect consistency

with green chilli, sage and chorizo which provide a sweet, yet spicy taste sensation unlike any pate I have ever tried before, truly spectacular, especially with the heavenly warm and crusty home-made fojata black olive bread. Soup of the Day was tomato

and oregano and was an unusual creamy Mediterranean flavoured dish. For a main course I can seriously recommend the breast of chicken with wok fried pulses and chorizo and moist, leaf spinach with rosemary and chilli salsa verde which provided a smoky and roasted taste sensation with the chorizo adding a spectacular touch. The Fisherman’s Pie was a surprise, as this staple dish had a combination of large pieces of salmon, cod and oak smoked mackerel with a delicately flavoured cheddar mashed potato topping, grilled to perfection and served with fresh, steamed broccoli. For those preferring a vegetarian dish, I am reliably informed by my companions of the evening that the Indo Malay vegetable and pulse curry made with the finest of ingredients and with a sensational steamed herb rice was divine.

The signature dessert dish was yet another regular favourite with a twist, Cherry Bakewell tart beautifully presented, light and flavoursome with an unexpected tea and toast covered ice cream with Amaretto syrup and it is worth a visit to Hermosa just to sample this delectable dessert! With fresh and original menu ideas such as these you could come to Hermosa many times over and sample items on the RED menu without ever getting bored of what was on offer. The high end presentation of each dish was only outdone by the taste of the food itself and with a great selection of wines and great value for money at only 18€ for two courses and 22.5€ for three courses all from the RED options and illustrated in red on the menu itself for ease of selection, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit or 10. Booking is recommended as the restaurant was almost full by 8.30pm but this did not detract from the feeling of individual privacy. Tel: 952 837 483

For starters you can choose between a Finnan Haddie Tartlet with a creamy Cullen skink (a traditional Scottish fish soup made with potatoes and onions) or a terrine of Honey Roast Ham Hock with home-made piccalilli. With an intermediate course of Tattie Scones with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, you really will need to save some room if you can, because after those culinary delights, the best is yet to come!

A Top Thai restaurant TOP THAI is truly a top Thai restaurant even though the name actually refers to the owner and chef, Mr. Top himself who has over 15 years experience when it comes to the creation of Thai food. The restaurant interior is decorated with an understated Thai influence with soft lighting, elegant furnishings and with the merest hints of subtle gold accessories and large but graceful eastern influence art work on the walls. With touches of greenery in the form of small potted plants on each table tailored to complement the larger plants visible through the full length windows, you feel as if you are in an elegant Thai style garden. You can feel the love and attention to detail that Top has invested in his restaurant, with embroidered napkins, quality tableware even down to the ‘Top Thai’ design artwork on the froth of your coffee. Top started his Thai food service in the area eight to 10 years ago with a small kiosk on the other side of the plaza with just 15 tables and serving just 25 items of the staple Thai menu. Word quickly got out about this authentic Thai chef serving the healthiest and tastiest of international food. This ‘word of mouth’ and the love of Top’s food is what has seen him turn his business into the beautiful restaurant that you see today in Centro Plaza in Nueva Andalucía, where it is now well established and has been

UNDERSTATED: Thai influence of soft lighting and elegant furnishings. growing its client base for the last two years. The menu now provides over 100 items of authentic Thai dishes cooked with the best Thai spices and ingredients and served to Top’s exacting standards. With signature dishes which include Phad Thai noodles and his own recipe for his legendary Top Thai Duck sauce and Satay sauce, Top’s philosophy is to serve his customers with quality Thai food whilst educating them on the variety and tasty options available within the Thai culture of cuisine but at great value for money. At approximately 20 to 25 euros per head and coming second in the top five of the healthiest foods in the world, you cannot argue with that and neither did TripAdvisor who provided him with a certificate for excellence in 2014!

This restaurant has something for everyone, so if you wish to transport yourself to Thailand and treat yourself to a taste of the Thai world without actually having to travel there or if you wish to have a romantic evening for two or a group or family affair, Top Thai is truly a remarkable place to go.

Dogs are good Important to follow rules for you when taking an adult dog

HAVING a dog is good for you. That is the idea behind a Spanish scheme that is using pets as part of the therapy for ill treated and disturbed children. Called Buddies, the scheme is the first in Spain to use dogs as an official part of the therapy designed to raise the youngsters’ self esteem. The training course, which at the moment involves 10 youngsters in Barcelona, may be rolled out across Spain if deemed a success. Various studies have shown that having a pet companion can have a significant beneficial effect on youngsters that follow a similar programme. Therapists say that the dogs do not judge the children and accept them for what they are. The method used is that

of positive reinforcement to help both the animal and the children training the dogs. Maribel Vila, head of animal assisted therapy at the Affinity Foundation said the scheme was particularly effective in raising the children’s self esteem. The dogs are ideal because they are always happy and react to the children’s moods without holding grudges. The children have all come from disturbed family backgrounds and have suffered from abuse, neglect and sometimes abandonment and therefore need special attention. As well as helping with self esteem, the dogs help the children develop communication skills and tolerance to frustration, as well as helping them express emotions.

WHEN it comes to getting a family pet it is easy to fall in love with a puppy or kitten. It takes a special person to adopt an adult pet. But there are many advantages to rehoming a mature dog. One of those is knowing what you are getting. That adorable puppy may well grow into a huge adult dog and you can never be certain what disposition it will have. With a grown pet, what you see is what you get, but it is important to remember that what you might not see is your new

pet’s past. It has learned to live in an environment which may be very different to the one you can offer. That is why it is important to follow a few rules when helping an adult dog settle in. First things to show him are where he is to sleep, where fresh water is always available, and when and where he is to be fed. He will need to be taken outside at frequent intervals (every hour or two) so he can relieve himself as accidents can happen until the pet is settled in. If the dog does make a mess in the house firmly say ‘NO!’ and take him outside instantly. But it is important to catch the dog in the act as a few minutes later is too late as he won’t associate the reprimand with a past event. On the other hand praise

him every time he eliminates outside. You can expect some problems initially. Your pet doesn’t know you or what is expected of him. Plan to spend time with your new family member. They will appreciate

it and respond warmly. Long walks, play and just being together will make them feel happy and secure.

TIME TOGETHER: It takes a special person to adopt an adult dog.

The freedom to travel By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch CALLY moved to Spain last year. She brought her King Charles Spaniels to live with her in retirement, and for a few months all seemed to be going well. But within a short time tasting her new found freedom from the daily routines of work she found herself longing to travel. She loved her new home and access to the beach from the house, but enjoying these new surroundings had actually given her a broader taste for

adventure. So, what to do with the dogs? Living on a fixed income can be restrictive but she had heard about friends who had joined an online network to help them find sitters when they travelled and indeed to travel affordably themselves. She found a housesitting and petsitting network she liked, they were pet friendly. She looked for sitters for her dogs. While searching she came across an advert for a lady living in France, only one hour from Paris, who had two dogs and a hen coup and was looking for a

single active dog sitter of mature years to care for her home while she visited relatives in England. Cally immediately registered as both a housesitter to apply, and as a homeowner to find sitters for herself. Then she sent a note to that homeowner in France - she had studied French in University. Paris in spring is always a good idea.

Making the most of your olive trees OLIVE trees are part of the Mediterranean landscape Olive trees have been part of the Mediterranean landscape for six millennium since cultivation started in Egypt, Greece and Crete. They have been in Spain for more than 2,000 years since the Romans planted the first specimen trees in courtyard gardens and olive groves. Attraction and uses of olive trees We can think of 21 uses: 1. Pickled olives for eating as a snack, in salads and cooked dishes. 2. Olive pate. 3. Olive oil as a healthy vegetable oil. Naturally the quality and quantity of olives and olive oil produced depends on more than the weather. 4. As a frying oil with its antioxidant properties. 5. Olive leaf infusions as the natural components in the leaves are said to have antioxidant, antibiotic, antiaging, and anti-cancerous properties. 6. Logs for the fire and wood burning stove. 7. Small twigs as fire lighters. 8. Leafy ends of branches are a treat for rabbits, sheep and goats. 9. The fresh residues from pressing can be fed to poultry, sheep and goats. 10. If dried, the residues help get an open fire going or in log burning stoves. 11. If the oil is separated from the water by gravity when using an old style cold press, the final layer of oil is contaminated with

pieces of mashed olives. This rough oil can be used to clean and oil tools, wooden utensils and other artefacts. 12. Logs of all sizes, especially from old trees, are excellent for turning and carving. 13. Olive trees make excellent evergreen trees or groups of trees for vision, wind breaks and shade. 14. Although not widely used these days, one can still use oil lamps for a subdued light. But beware the flame is smoky so only use for an outside light . 15. Straight branches can be used as supports for tall vegetables such as beans, tomatoes and peppers. 16. Selected branches can be dried to use as handles for garden tools.

17. Thick branches are long-lasting so they can be used to make rustic arches, fences and gates. 18. Leafy prunings can be used as pea sticks. 19. Continuing from ancient times olive oil is still used as a skin softener, for toning athlete’s muscles and mixed with vinegar as a suntan lotion. 20. Garlands made from young olive branches can be placed on the heads of victorious athletes at medal ceremonies, as was done at the early Greek Olympics. 21. Planted as attractive grey/green evergreen leaved trees. If you plant a tree in the garden now, it could still be there in the year 3000. (c) Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com January 2015

The right to information from the administrator

Spanish paying cash for houses

Individual owners are not the client, the community is THERE is a general misconception that because an administrator is employed by the community, the administrator works for the owners within the community. Probably because owners pay community fees which in turn pay the administrator, owners assume they have the right to ask for any information they like. However, that is not quite how it is. The individual owners are not the administrator’s client, the community is; the administrator works for the community as a whole. As such, they follow the decisions agreed by the owners at their community meetings or instructions from the president, who is the legal representative of the community. It is the community of owners as a whole who decides what information is available and to whom, not the community administrator. There is no obligation for an administrator to fulfil a request from any individual owner either for information, documentation or anything else, especially if it has not been previously approved for disclosure by the community. Good administrators will be quite aware what information they are allowed to give out, why, when and to whom. The reasons behind this are quite simple. If administrators spent their time writing reports and providing copies of documents for every owner that requested them, then the time left to do the actual community work they are paid to do would be severely

reduced. The same follows with the community accounts; the accounts are approved every year at the general meeting and there is no need to reproduce something that has already been published, discussed and approved. A common situation is when an owner asks for back copies of the minutes of the community meetings. This is usually considered to be open information and freely given, but the administrator could charge the owner for the copies, not for the information but for reproducing it. On the other hand, for example, an invoice for a repair that would be available at the general meeting in order to approve the community accounts, might not be available at a later date, simply for practical reasons. Although some administrations like Intercala here in La Cala de Mijas have an open file policy and do allow any owner to see any document that relates to their community, at any time and without charge, others do not. The Spanish data protection laws, which

all administrators must follow closely also have a bearing on the situation. Administrators are not allowed to disclose personal information like telephone numbers or email addresses, individual payment details or bank account details to other owners. Although information about the community and its owners is available to the president and to those approved by the community, i.e. the committee, details are only available to individual owners if disclosure is approved by the community. In most communities there are few or even no exceptions allowing administrators to act differently. Numerous court rulings on this subject invariably say owners will only receive some specific information about their community at their general meetings. These interpretations can be frustrating for some owners and in some cases there could even be a claim of lack of transparency but with some communities reaching well over a hundred properties there must be a practical application of the situation and of course the law has to be respected. Fundamentally it is important to remember that the individual owners are not an administrator’s client but the community is. We the Solicitors for Intercala Administration remind the readers of our monthly articles to seek competent advice in all matters regarding the law.

THREE out of every 10 homes sold to the Spanish were paid for in cash. This is according to a survey by property website fotocasa.es, which also revealed that 62 per cent of purchasers used a mortgage to pay for the property, and 6 per cent used other forms of financing, such as an inheritance or gift. The average spend on a home was €246,000, with a flat costing an average €142,000 and a townhouse €333,000. By age, the group spending the most overall was the 35 to 44-year-olds (38 per cent) followed by 25 to 34-year-olds (26 per cent) and then the 45 to 54-yearolds (24 per cent). More than half of buyers (56 per cent) were married and 88 per cent had a job, with 6 per cent unemployed on benefits.

Price decline is slowing down THE rate of price falls for Spanish property slowed to an average 3 per cent in 2014. That was a big improvement over 2013 when homes lost 9.2 per cent of their value. The figures from the General INIE and Major Markets Indices cover both new and second-hand homes. This put the prices for housing at around the same level as July 2003 and 41.2 per cent lower than the peak in 2007 just before the house price bubble burst. According to property analysts Tinsa, the signs are that the decline in prices could finally stop in 2015 if economic forecasts are met, employment stabilises and more mortgages are granted. The number of home loans given has been rising over the last few months and the jobless rate is starting

NEW HOMES: Possible to buy for less than they cost to build. to dip, even though it is still at a very high level of over 23 per cent, but there is cautious optimism starting to creep back into the housing market. The immediate future for the market looks rosiest on the costas and

in major cities, but some areas with a big surplus of unsold housing built in the boom years will still see large price drops. In many cases it is now possible to buy a home for less than it cost to build.

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.

It’s all in the name of luxury ANYONE wanting to buy the top of the range SUV will have to wait for Bentley’s latest offering. The Crewe-based luxury car maker is still keeping tight-lipped about what will be its latest offering, when it goes on sale in 2016. All that it has revealed is its name the Bentley Bentayga - and a promise that it will “combine pinnacle luxury and performance.” The ground-breaking luxury SUV is set to be revealed to the world later this year and the car manufacturer says the “sector-defining” SUV will be able to “introduce Bentley’s renowned modern British luxury to limitless destinations with an impressive combination of on and off-road performance.”

The name for the fourwheel drive is said to be inspired partly from the founder’s name and partly from the natural world. That is the Taiga in the north and also to the south, the rugged peak of the Roque Bentayga in the subtropical Canary Islands. The car is supposed to reflect the rugged beauty of both areas. Wolfgang Dürheimer, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said: “Bentayga is a name that reflects what we know our SUV will do better than any other car in the world - combine the best automotive luxury with outstanding performance to take the Bentley experience to new environments.”

Extra oomph for C Class with launch of V6 AMG THE Mercedez-Benz C Class has already won itself a reputation as a fun, easy to drive car. Now car buyers will have the option to go for power with the launch of its V6 AMG sports model.

The new C 450 AMG 4MATIC expands the product range of the performance and sports car brand of MercedesBenz with what the company calls “an attractive entry into the

world of AMG.” There is plenty of power and great roadholding thanks to the combination of a 367 horespower 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine with a permanent

Performance all-wheeldrive system and sophisticated suspension technology adopted from the Mercedes-AMG C 63. Available as a saloon and an estate model, it

was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show, and is planned to be in showrooms this coming summer. Even at first glance, the characteristic AMG body styling leaves no

doubt that this model is part of the MercedesAMG model family. Another indication for the new model strategy is found in the form of a special AMG badge on the front wings.

A must for all fans of equestrian events EQUESTRIAN fans are in for a treat as Mijas Hippodrome is hosting the second edition of the Winter Cup 2015. Organised by the Costa del Sol Equestrian Tour the event, which starts on Tuesday, January 27, will attract around 300 riders and 700 horses from 28 countres in what is becoming a major event in the show jumping world. It is seen as a significant new development in giving Mijas and the Costa del Sol a bright new attraction in the sports tourism market, with the hope that it will start to attract not just riders, but spectators from across Europe. The event will cover three categories - young horses and the CS12 divided into Master Tour and Premium Tour, with the Grand Prix events on Friday and Sunday counting towards the FEI rankings. The second edition of the

SHOW JUMPING: Guillaume Blin Lebreton. Winter Cup is divided into two parts. The first will be held from January 27 to February 15, and the second from February 24 to March 15. The horse racing track, which no longer has races after a conflict with the national horse racing authority over money, has been converted into a top class events arena. It has six state of the art all weather rinks for the events, plus top class vets

facilities and warm up and warm down areas, as well as all facilities needed for spectators. It promises to give families a great day out with entrance for spectators being free.

Fifth Dakar title DEFENDING champion from Spain Marc Coma has won his fifth Dakar Rally motorbike title. The win puts him level with Frenchmen Cyril Neveu and Cyril Despres and one behind their

compatriot Stephane Peterhansel for the number of titles won in the gruelling event. Despite its name, this year the race finished in Baradero, north of Buenos Aires in Argentina, on

Saturday (January 17). Coma, riding a KTM, finished ahead of Paulo Goncalves (Honda) and Toby Price (KTM). Winning the last stage was Ivan Jakes, with Coma coming in fifth, which was enough to take the title. He won his first Dakar in 2006, then again in 2009, 2011, 2014 and now this year.
