MARAUDING: ‘Northern invaders’ prepare to take the Torres del Oeste.

By Dilip Kuner ON the first Sunday of August the Galician village of Catoira stages a unique spectacle, a re-enactment of the Viking invasions 1,000 years ago.

Villagers dressed as Viking warriors, stage their own ‘pirate attack’. The party starts at about 10am, with performances by folk groups in the streets of Catoira and at the Torres del Oeste. It is a ninth century fortified complex, known as one of the most important archaeological and historical sites in Galicia, which for centuries resisted various attacks.

296,170 was the number of kilos of rubbish collected from the streets of Madrid after the Madrid Pride 2015 celebrations held on Saturday, July 4, in Spain’s capital city. More than one million people attended the event this year.

Visitors can visit a ‘medieval market’ before the highlight of the festivities: the disembarkation.

On board a replica of a Viking ship, 11th century ‘northern invaders’ reach the coast in order to take the Torres del Oeste. The villagers try to resist and that’s when a simulated battle takes place. But the crimson liquid spilled is not blood, participants end up soaked in red wine.

Then, after the fight the party begins, accompanied by the sound of bagpipes, and the fun continues into the evening, with a host of activities. This year the event is being held on Sunday August 2.

MADRID’S new council has decided to remove conflictive names from Franco times from the city’s streets and is considering replacing them with names of famous women or well-known, local residents.

New car sales Good results NEW car sales appear to be on the up, with a total of 13,812 registered in Malaga Province in the first half of the year, 22.26 per cent more than in the first six months of 2014

Tourists give Malaga good marks VISITORS give Malaga City overall marks of 8.6 out of 10 and three out of four of them intend to come back, a new study has revealed.

The Tourism Observatory report, including data from 530

interviews carried out in the six months of this year, found that 61.2 per cent of visitors considered their stay to have been very positive while just 0.9 per cent said the experience had been a bad one.

Qualities particularly valued by tourists included the attention received, citizen safety, monuments and museums, accommodation and value for money.

Of those questioned, 55.1 per

cent said it was their first visit to the city, while 17.5 per cent reported having been at least six times.

While many said they were content to wander through the city and visit the museums and

monuments, one in three said they had also been on day trips to other areas with Marbella, Nerja, Torremolinos and Granada the favourite places for those venturing out of the city to head for.

Building evacuated EIGHT people from an apartment block in Sabinillas had to be taken for medical attention and the entire building evacuated after a fire broke out in a second floor flat on Monday morning (July 6).

By Eleanor Hawkins THE Costa del Sol is preparing to honour the Virgen del Carmen (patron saint of the sea)

with religious and other celebrations planned for the next week or so.

Tradition has it that introducing images of the virgin into the

sea on her special day, July 16, would purify the waters.

Malaga City, Torremolinos, Los Boliches and Estepona all hold processions at night, and

watching the sailors or fishermen in traditional dress carry the saint’s image into the sea is a must-see, but be prepared for large crowds.

Equality struggle starts to pay off STRUGGLES for equality are starting to pay off for Costa women as for once unemployment reports have revealed virtually half of those who have

found work in the province are female.

unemployed register in June.

Although the struggle has been a long one and Labour Day protests featuring women singing I Will Survive on Mala-

ga City’s Plaza de la Constitucion (pictured on front page) on May 1 last year seem almost a lifetime ago, their perseverance appears to be finally paying off.

Yet all is not calm in the village, as Maldonado has announced that he has removed Nozal from his posts as head of various departments, claiming the former mayor’s personal issues with the police force leader have led him to make ‘disloyal’ comments.

The PP has been invited to name a new head for the departments, while Nozal has announced the two parties have agreed to give themselves a week of breathing space to mull things over before reaching any more decisions.

Four officers to face trial for Belgian death MORE than nine years after his death, four Local Police officers from Marbella are to face trial for manslaughter of a Belgian citizen.

The hearing has been announced for November 3 at a Malaga Provincial Court, and the policemen will face charges of manslaughter by carelessness and omission of duty to provide assistance.

Lieve Franz Herman de Wilde died after being arrested on February 6, 2006 on his way home from the beach, his family claim.

According to his relatives, he was stopped by a police patrol and put up a fight as he had no idea why he was being arrested.

Yet the policemen declared they had been called out to arrest a man walking the streets half naked in an obvious state of agitation.

The hostile attitude of the deceased combined with his size meant the officers had to forcefully subdue him, with one kneeling on his upper back and pulling his head back to keep him still, the Public Prosecutor said, but a post mortem examination determined the cause of his subsequent death as excessive cocaine and alcohol.

Yet a second examination ordered by the family stated the man died after being unable to breathe when his head was pulled back.

Malaga drivers don’t learn their lesson NINTH anniversary of the introduction of the points licence system

45 years jail for killing prostitutes A MAN has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for murdering two women on the Costa del Sol. Both victims had been repeatedly stabbed and forced to reveal their credit card PIN numbers.

The investigation began in 2011 following the murder of two prostitutes on August 10 and September 10 in Calahonda and San Pedro de Alcantara.

45 REPEAT OFFENDERS: Some drivers have been caught over the limit more than once.

By Eleanor Hawkins MALAGA drivers are amongst those most likely to fail to learn their lesson after being fined for drinking (or taking drugs) and driving according to government statistics.

Coinciding with the ninth anniversary of the introduction of the points licence system on July 1, the Interior Minister reported that Malaga, along with Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and Pontevedra had registered the most repeat offenders where drink

and drugs were concerned.

“It’s worrying because there are 17,160 drivers in Spain who have been caught over the limit for alcohol twice in three years and another 1,854 who have been caught three times in three years,” the minister reported.

The Spanish media dubbed him the ’10 killer, and the 42-year-old was arrested 44 days into the investigation.

He confessed that he had contacted the victims by phone after seeing their adverts in the personal section of a local paper.

The arrest occurred at a gym near his home in Fontana Beach, Riviera del Sol, just one kilometre from the first victim’s house. Despite conflicting reports about his nationality - he allegedly had forged Irish, French and Italian passports - he was identified as Abdelkader Salhi, from a Moroccan father and German mother, who had lived in Spain since 2007.

At the time of his arrest, he was using a forged Irish passport under the name of Martin Sparitt.

Roman Oasis is open for business LAUNCH was a magical night set in beautiful surroundings

By Wendy Ann Cowham SABINILLA’S Roman Oasis has opened its doors for the summer and greeted eager guests who had been waiting to slip on their togas and dine.

Chariots flocked to the venue as the mere mortals who had dined there before knew there would be no spare seat at the arena on the night unless they had a reservation.

The launch was a magical night in a setting of Roman-

style artifacts and décor beautifully amalgamated to give the restaurant an ancient twist.

Owner Paul Hickling and his wife Kaat are used to super bashes, which is why the Roman Oasis oozes homeliness without sacrificing style or elegance.

Tucked away up a country road, the hidden jewel beckons guests, leaving little wonder as to why Keith Floyd spent many nights at the table that pays homage to him on the terrace.

Nothing fell short of magnificence for the evening, and it was immediately obvious why Paul had told guests to arrive hungry. Good value for money was a mere understatement, with enough to feed the Roman Empire including an abundant spread of salads and meats.

Steve Nelson entertained guests with flawless renditions of popular tunes before violinist Quike Navarro took to the stage, bringing the violin right into the 21st century.

Courtesy of The Benidorm Palace

The starry, starry world of Christina Our Euro Women series is featuring women who have made a success of their lives in Spain. These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports.

Christina runs the most successful theatre cabaret venue in Europe and has the award to prove it.

HERE we have a Euro Woman to conjure with. Christina Climent could very easily blend into a crowd with her neat, petite appearance and chatty personality. She is not, however, just one of a crowd, although it is true that crowds are her speciality.

Christina runs the most successful theatre cabaret venue in Europe and has the award to prove it.

Christina was the only child of a farmer who was far sighted enough to raise his daughter to be comfortable in the world of business. At 18, when she wanted to leave home to marry Vicente, a Spanish musician, he didn’t stand in her way.

Vicente and Christina bought a gift shop in the Los Pelicanos Hotel in Benidorm and made enough of a success of it for Vicente to retire at 40. Within a year he was bored and so they bought The Benidorm Palace, a tired nightclub with no catering and not much of a show.

The couple put in kitchens, conference rooms, great performers, later adding a Big Top marquee…

The Benidorm Palace today can accommodate 2,000 and every meal it serves, every performance it shows, is of the highest possible standard. Unsurprising, because Christina runs an unending system of forensic spot-checking to make sure the customer gets a true Benidorm Palace experience.

“Nobody is allowed to be a prima donna at the Palace, from the cleaning ladies to the owners,” said Christina: “We all pull our weight to get it as perfect as it can be. And

the only person who is indispensable is the customer.”

Perfection is what Christina and her family strive for with every show: “This is a holiday town. This show is likely to be the highlight of someone’s yearly holiday so it has to be that good. Memorable, spectacular and unforgettable.”

Name: Christina Climent (or Cristina as she is also known) Age: 62 Family: Married to Vicente with two children, Jo and David Home town : Widnes, UK Where now: Benidorm Pets: One cat aged 17 Languages: English and Spanish Book or TV: TV: I’ve no time for reading Favourite programme : Soaps - I’d fall asleep in a film!

Strengths : Trustworthy. Fair. Family-minded. Hard-working Weaknesses : Animals and children Greatest success: Being a mum, and The Benidorm Palace Greatest failure: Nothing that stands out. I don’t deal in failure. If I do make a mistake it doesn’t happen twice…

Irritants: Cruelty to animals and children. And people who pick and whinge without having any idea of the work that goes into things. And bad service - that really gets me going…!

Best time of your life : Still in it!

Big picture or detail: Oh detail - it has to be in my line of work. I can spot a hole in a chorus girl’s tights from half a mile!

The Euro Weekly News asked Christina about her proudest moments: “My kids and receiving the award for the best Theatre Cabaret Show in Europe in 2013. It was indescribable, how I felt, how I still feel whenever I look at it.”

Where does Christina want to be in five years? “Hmm. Still involved. I couldn’t walk away from the Palace completely, any more than I could walk away from one of my children. Perhaps to be able to step back a bit now and then would be nice.”

Favourite artist? “The late and great Danny la Rue! He was absolutely the most gorgeous, marvellous man, professional, kind, fascinating. No airs or graces, a real gent.”

The glittering Benidorm Palace continues to carve its name as a legend in theatre cabaret not just in Spain but throughout Europe, a large scale masterpiece in stage entertainment that is the heart of Benidorm and the pride of its owners.

Christina the farmer’s daughter… who’d have thought it!

Hotels halted over two missing words ALORA needs more beds since the Caminito del Rey opened

By Eleanor Hawkins TWO hotel projects presented in Alora following the recent reopening of the Caminito del Rey (King’s Walkway) have been halted by the regional government over two words.

Although the village is waiting

with open arms for the work and business opportunities the hotels will provide, the Junta de Andalucia regional government has refused to let construction begin because municipal regulations do not include the term ‘rural hotel.’

Mayor Jose Sanchez said that the council was working to adapt the

wording and solve the problem as quickly as possible to allow the hotels, in the Cerro Taivilla and El Chopo areas, to be built.

“We need more beds in the area as we only have one hotel and two hostels at the moment and more and more people are coming since the Caminito opened,” he said.

Costa del Sol musicians rally round to help BRENDON needs equipment to enable his parents to lift him in and out of bed

By Dilip Kuner THE Costa del Sol musical community is rallying round to help a severely disabled man get the specialist equipment he desperately needs.

Brendon is 18 years old and has been disabled since birth. He needs equipment to enable his parents to lift him in and out of bed and a vehicle car ramp to enable access for his wheelchair.

On hearing of his need some of the Costa’s top performers have got together to hold a special fundraising concert. They are all giving their time free with proceeds going to buy the equipment.

The concert will be held on July 23 at La Catarina in poligono La Campana, Marbella, where all the proceeds will go to purchasing the equipment.

The event will feature artists who are giving their performances free, and in some cases giving up prior engagements, to support the event.

In addition the owners of La Catarina are giving the use of their venue free and donating a proportion of sales on the night to the fund.

SPECIAL CONCERT: All proceeds raised will go towards buying the equipment needed.

Artists include Jade Law, La NegraMayte, Baz Williamson, Antony Wolfson plus special guests. The night will close with an acoustic set

by Terry Shaughnessy from the highly acclaimed UK band, The Univer-

sal. Compere for the night is Steve Cline.

The event is being supported by the following media partners: Euro Weekly News, City FM, ON TV, and Marbella Now TV amongst others.

Hunger strike planned to demand running water RESIDENTS have to transport water in bottles in the boots of their cars

ABDALAJIS: Forty families have been without running water.

By Staff Reporter THE mayor of Valle de Abdalajis has said that he will join the hunger strike planned by 40 families in a rural area of the town which has no running water.

Victor Castillo has said that he will join them on the protest and hunger strike they plan for July 15 if the Agua de los Verdiales company has not connected their water supply before that.

He says the town hall has signed an agreement with the company, which is currently in administrative proceedings, but that consent is needed from the mayors of Villanueva de la Concepcion, Antequera, Almogia and Casabermeja, which receive their water from Agua de los Verdiales.

Forty homes and six farms in the area have been without running water for over a decade, and residents have the bother and expense of having to get it themselves.

Some years back, they protested and the Junta de Andalucia approved a project to channel water from El Torcal area in Antequera. All that remains to be done is for the water to be connected, as even the meters are in place.

Meanwhile residents continue to fill up water storage tanks from cisterns or by bringing it in bottles in the boots of their cars, and cannot understand why the situation has still not been solved.

Former mayor charged with misuse of public funds THE former mayor of Benalmadena, Paloma Garcia Galvez, has been charged with misuse of public funds.

The Public Prosecution

bases this on a monthly payment of €600 made to local councillor Francisco Salido, the managing director of Benalmadena Marina.

Just days after being given the position, for which the prosecution believes he was not qualified, he decided he should be paid €600 extra, despite already getting €44,500 per year as a councillor.

However, the payment was first agreed in July 2011, when socialist Javier Carnero was mayor. The socialist party claims to know nothing about it, and it was later approved when Garcia Galvez, from the conservative Partido Popular (PP), became mayor in 2012, following a vote of no confidence against Carnero.

Salido, despite having made a pact with socialists PSOE and left-wing Izquierda Unida, joined the PP to carry out the vote of no confidence.

He was paid in arrears once Garcia became mayor, the public prosecution claims, in order to make the payments he had been receiving appear to be legal.

EWN shows commitment to community by opening 10th office SINCE the turn of the year the Euro Weekly News (EWN) has been putting its money where YOUR mouth is.

We asked readers and advertising clients what we could do to make the most popular free English newspaper group in Spain even better. Back came the answer - be even more local and get to the heart of the community.

Here at EWN we have always been conscious of our responsibility to not just present the news to expatriates, but to also represent the concerns, worries and triumphs of the foreign communities. They look to EWN to give them a voice.

We thought hard about how we could improve and so decided to embark on an ambitious programme of expansion and investment to best do what you have asked us to do.

To this end we have just opened our 10th office in mainland Spain and Mallorca, this time in Nerja in the Axarquia, following on from the three new offices recently opened in the Costa Blanca North.

On the big day EWN owners Michel and Steven Euesden joined local staff Benjamin Wickham and assistant Maiara Alvez de Oliveira for the grand opening. Many readers and clients popped in to the smart new offices on the Balcon de Europa to wish us well. Among the visitors were readers Ali and Robert Durston, who said they never missed picking up their copy of EWN and added they were delighted that an of-

Val Doonican dies, aged 88 IRISH crooner and raconteur Val Doonican has died, aged 88. The singer, who was a fixture on British television with his own show on the BBC for more than 20 years, passed away “peacefully” at a Buckinghamshire nursing home, said a statement from his family.

Doonican had five top-ten UK albums in the 60s, and although his music was ubiquitous, he became almost better known for his warm personality, colourful knitwear and rocking chair as his show, which featured his own songs, guest performances and chat, became a firm favourite with millions.

The songs for which he will always be remembered include Paddy McGinty’s Goat and Delaney’s Donkey.

The Waterford-born entertainer retired in 2009 to spend more time with his family, his golf clubs and his watercolour paints. He was also enchanted by the Costa del Sol town of Mijas, where, he told the Daily Telegraph on his retirement, he had bought an apartment with his wife, Lynn.

Appearing on a big screen near you THE faces of the UK’s ‘most wanted’ as part of Operation Captura

By Jo Harvie LAW enforcement teams are taking their search for Britain’s most-wanted men direct to the Costas.

Crimestoppers and the National Crime Agency (NCA) are touring expat hotspots with a huge digital screen, displaying the mugshots of 18 people still being hunted by Operation Captura.

Captura has so far collared 68 of 86 fugitives, wanted in connection with crimes including murder, rape, indecent assault of a child and drug trafficking. In a push to bring in the last remaining targets, the agencies say they are heading to their suspects’ ‘backyards’.

The operation’s 13-foot-high mugshot screen will be touring the Spanish coasts and parking outside nightclubs and bars, British supermarkets and restaurants.

Steve Reynolds, NCA Deputy Director, said: “By taking our campaign directly into Spanish communities where we believe they are living and socialising, their lives will become even more uncomfortable. We want British expats and locals to help us by being extra eyes and ears and telling us what they know.

“These fugitives are wanted for serious crimes. Anyone who is helping them stay on the run, such as girlfriends, wives, family members back home, or criminal associates, should know that assisting them is an offence too.”

Director of Operations for Crimestoppers, Roger Critchell, said that this new tactic for Captura, which is a multi-agency operation including Spanish law enforcement, would leave those on the run with nowhere to hide: “There will be no avoiding the faces on this screen – they’ll be broadcast in

all the popular ex-pat areas.

“I would urge anyone who recognises any of those faces to contact Crimestoppers anonymously. We don’t take personal details and you won’t have to give a statement or go to court.

“Many of these fugitives are currently living a life of leisure funded by serious crime. They cannot be allowed to hide forever, they must be brought to justice. Do the right thing and help us find them.”

The 18 remaining men on the run from Operation Captura can be viewed at www.crimestoppersuk.org/opcaptura Expats can contact Crimestoppers on a freephone Spanish number which will be answered in the UK: 900 555 111. People can also pass on information anonymously via the Crimestoppers number 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Land and property owners in Cuevas del Almanzora who face compulsory purchase orders so that tortoises can have a home do not think so.

The Almeria-Murcia AVE high-speed railway line will affect their natural habitat so the central government plans to set aside 500 hectares of expropriated land as a nature reserve for them. Although the exact details have yet to be announced, the reserve will affect more than 500 hectares of Cuevas del Almanzora land between Los Lobos, Muleria, El Largo, Guazamara and the motorway, according to sources quoted in the local Spanish press.

The current plan affects 11 homes, eight agricultural buildings, five old country properties, two polytunnels and thousands of citrus trees. The town hall will take every step within its power to halt the compulsory purchase orders, said the mayor.

Spanish mortgage relief

BUSINESS EXTRA

Election jobs IT IS estimated collective municipalities throughout Spain increased their workforce by approximately 3 per cent immediately prior to the local elections, representing around 17,000 workers.

Tax bill IT HAS been calculated that from January until July 1, Spaniards work only to pay tax on income, VAT and other government levies. From July 1 their salaries go into their pockets.

Flying colours RYANAIR has increased its passengers by 14 per cent in June to 9.5 million, 5 per cent more than in the same period in 2014. The increase is attributed partly to reduced billing rates.

More savings GROSS savings amounted to €2,076 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter in 2014.

BRUSSELS: Has started a judicial review into the application of the 720 model.

Is tax legislation illegal?

FAILURE to complete the form or to submit without all information attracts a fine

By Jason Bailey SPAIN’S adoption of tax disclosure legislation, the 720 model which requires residents to declare assets abroad valued at over €50,000, has been ruled as illegal by the European Commission.

Since the ratification of the 720 model in 2012, €108,615 million in undeclared tax has

5,000 euro fine for every piece of information that has not been submitted.

been discovered and further revenue has been generated from the fines imposed.

Brussels has now started a judicial review into the application of the 720 model as it believes that it infringes community rights and the sanctions imposed are disproportionate. There have been 7,013 cases started since 2013

against individuals who did not submit their Assets Abroad declaration on time.

Failure to complete the form, or to submit it without all the relevant information, attracts a fine of €5,000 for every piece of information that has not been submitted. There is also no statute of limitations regarding the investigations.

BLACKSTONE GROUP LP, who purchased a tranche of Spanish home loans in 2014, has said it intends to restructure them to assist borrowers to afford their repayments or allow them to walk away from their debts.

The group has said it will only foreclose on those who have the funds to pay but do not. It states that where there is genuine hardship it will restructure the loans and allow the owners to remain in their property.

The mortgage portfolio was bought from the nationalised Spanish bank Catalunya Banc and cost €3.165 billion.

Blackstone said although it had to address the business efficacy of the loans it did not buy them with the intention of mass evictions.

It thought restructuring could take around seven years but stressed that in some cases it would advise foreclosure for the sake of the owners.

Successful women want looks not bucks when it comes to choosing a life partner Loose change Jane Plunkett A look at finance for females jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

HOW many times have we seen or heard about a young beautiful girl hooking up with a fat, ugly, balding - but rich - older man? She is after his money, or so it is often presumed. Why else would she be with someone that is so much older and unattractive?

Well this scenario that a woman cares more about a man’s potential income as opposed to his looks, is now a thing of the past, apparently.

According to a new report, modern women are self sufficient highflyers that don’t need to rely on a successful man to make ends meet.

The tables are turning. Today’s woman wants classic good looks

LIFE PARTNER: Today’s successful women want someone with brains, not just brawn. in her potential other half. A man that will give her nice, healthy and pretty babies, or so the report says.

So if you’re a well built man with striking features, a chiselled jaw and sexy eyes, you could secure

yourself a comfortable future with a financially successful woman!

I find this report very interesting. Indeed, who doesn’t want to snuggle up to an attractive hunky man? But this situation doesn’t

ring true for many successful women. Good looks are an appealing factor in any relationship, but their novelty is short lived.

In my opinion, successful women are different to the stereo-

typical rich men with pretty young brides. Today’s successful women may play around with young attractive men, but when it comes to a life partner they want someone with brains, not just brawn.

Good looks only entertain for a short amount of time, but intelligent conversation and interesting thought patterns can keep a smart girl engaged a lot longer.

And again, all this depends on where in the world a women is.

Women doing well in rich countries have the pick of the bunch.

They can chose a hunk or a hunky intellectual. Whereas women that come from poorer countries often still do put a lot of importance on money within a relationship, because poorer circumstance urges them to seek out security.

Therefore it is common to see such women with the rich, but fat and balding men!

Caixa Bank redundancies CAIXA BANK has agreed with the union a voluntary redundancy plan for 700 workers. The agreement was made possible by increasing the amount payable on redundancy.

Rotten returns A MARKET study has shown that economising by running a washing machine at 5am saves only 70 cents per month.

Bad Bank sales MANAGEMENT company Sareb has sold 24,000 private homes in the past two years reducing its volatile assets by €6,500 million.

Single parent poverty ACCORDING to NGO Save the Children, 53.3 per cent of households at risk of poverty are single parent families compared with two parent households at 30.5 per cent.

THERE is a very true saying; ‘When you work for yourself you work for a slave driver.’ If you are not passionate about your business then neither your business nor your customers will be passionate about you.

For 20 years I advised small to medium sized enterprises (SME) employers.

Most conceded they put far more effort into their business than they would had they been an employee.

I was constantly coming across unusual trades. It is with some amusement that I recall visiting a heavy goods vehicle hydraulic system repair specialist.

The work premises seemed much like any other HGV repair centre. I needed to know as much about the business as possible before my assessment. Like Columbo, I asked questions.

I discovered that the young engineer, seemingly in his early 20s, was a spe-

Stupidly, I asked him what actually happens when I see a 30 tonne HGV up my exhaust pipe and I need to brake sharply, “Am I toast?” I asked him.

My eyes glazed over as with boundless enthusiasm he took me through the exceedingly complex hydraulic system

on the aforementioned lorry that would ensure my survival. Unable to shut him up I lost the plot after five minutes .

He knew what he was talking about; The Ministry of Defence (MoD) called him first when a tank, Army HGV or whatever needed attention. What I never lost was my recall of the young engi-

The other thing to remember is that your employees will never be as committed as you are; why should they be?

In defence of my views...

MOST of the world banks and money markets are run by Jews and Arabs LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT ENOUGH already! I am now about to break the habit of a lifetime and attempt to explain my motives for an article I penned a couple of weeks ago.

In it I stated that the Jews and Arabs were the biggest investors in the world money markets. At no time did I suggest that there was anything wrong with this situation, quite the contrary. As a capitalist, I actually consider it quite commendable that the Jewish bankers in particular, without the natural resources of the Arabs, have attained such success, particularly in the light of the horrors and misfortunes they have had to endure throughout their turbulent history.

However, one doesn’t have to surf too deeply into the realms of the internet to discover my remarks were merely a statement of the facts as I perceived them. Most of the world banks and money markets are in fact run by the Jewish and Arab races. The Roth-

SHALOM: Will Arabs and Jews ever stand together as allies?

I can understand how some of my remarks could have been unfortunately misconstrued

schilds alone own or control scores of banks, estimated to be worth some one hundred trillion dollars.

It would be utterly naïve to underestimate the sheer power that wealth of this magnitude can bring to a relative minority of people. On

re-reading my piece I can see that when I remarked that the wealthy controlled the world, it could have been somewhat unfortunately misconstrued that I was specifically accusing the Jews and Arabs of some kind of international conspiracy.

This was not my intention at all. If I have upset some readers I truly do apologise unreservedly. I am most certainly not anti-Semitic and I’m sure my Jewish grandmother would be horrified to even have it considered. I will however defend my statement that the Jews and Arabs are still arch-enemies or did I miss something here?

Have Hamas stopped lobbing missiles over Israel’s borders? Does Iran no longer want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth? Can Israeli passport-holders now travel freely into Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries? Sadly, this conflict is still as unresolved as ever.

Will we live to see the Arabs and Jews standing together as friends and allies? Wouldn’t that be something? Shalom.

Will the real Banksy please stand up?

EWN speaks to a man who claims to bust some of the myths that lie behind the street-art phenomenon

By Steve Walsh AFTER more than 10 years, the real Banksy, or at least the man claiming to be the real Banksy, has finally come out of the shadows to speak to the Euro Weekly News about the phenomenon, the myth and the lies that are ‘Banksy’, and how he intends to “bust open the whole scam.”

In a moment that was as surreal as the portraits of Picasso and Dali I was looking at, Michael Shurman eased back into the terrace chair of his Spanish woodland hideaway cottage and drew a deep breath. I waited pen in hand as the anxious frustration that was apparent on his face broke and he said: “I am the real Banksy.”

The thought that I could actually be sitting in front of arguably the most controversial and elusive street artist in the world flashed through my brain as he continued: “Or should I say, if Banksy really existed, it’s me.”

My mood of pending epiphany was Barack Obama above No. 10 Downing Street

The Banksy Conundrum

Portrait of Picasso

replaced by one of bewilderment as Michael began his story. “Banksy doesn’t exist, you see, not as a person. Banksy is a group of people controlled by one man, a man that stole my ideas back in Bristol in 2004,” he said.

Artist and illustrator Shurman, claims that after studying at Goldsmiths College of Art, he moved back and forth between Bristol and Glastonbury, where he started displaying his Alien Head graffiti that became synonymous with the times in strategic locations.

“When I went back to Bristol in 2006 and got back into the street art scene, I discovered my work had been covered over with new works,

but in the style I created while at Goldsmiths. These works soon became known as Banksy. Since then I have been frozen out of any art gallery, exhibition or art establishment I’ve tried to get into. I’ve been shunned by the press and blocked by the art world at every turn.

“I know who’s responsible,” he said, “he went to Goldsmiths after me. He stole my ideas and gets his team to stencil graffiti for him. He is very shrewd, and very clever. I was pushed out of the scene because I didn’t agree with the money-making side of it. That’s what Banksy means, it’s their slang name for making money.

“I’ve bitten my tongue for too long. So I am going to get a lawyer and start proceedings against them.

Enough is enough,” he said, adding: “People have to know the truth about the big lie and how they have been tricked all these years. I’m going to bust open the whole scam. If anyone’s Banksy, it’s me!” he declared.

A carnival of fond memories

EWN

73

OUR VIEW

Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-the-wall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

EACH year as Mother Nature turns up the heat and we perspire into July, I am reminded of past English summer days and in particular the annual flower show and carnival in our Suffolk village.

We shake our heads and make jokes about the unreliable British weather, but for the most part my memories of this much anticipated local event are of sultry Saturdays, or at the very least pleasantly warm days, with only the occasional hint of rain.

Rarely, it seems, was the day ruined by a downpour or the need to wrap up warm against unseasonal elements.

Or perhaps it is just the brain selecting good memories from the not so good, and shunting less successful occasions to the back alleys of the mind, because my boyhood memories of summer school holidays spent in glorious Devon, or exploring the countryside on our bikes and fishing the local River Kennet, are also of long hot days and balmy nights.

In any event whatever the weather, the Carnival Day beer marquee always

ABUSE: All too common.

A violent epidemic CARNIVAL DAY: Huge amounts of freshly baked fancies were washed down with gallons of tea. pulled in more than its fair share of custom, as did the Women’s Institute hall where huge amounts of freshly baked cakes and fancies, and mouth watering savoury delights were washed down with gallons of tea.

The ladies of our WI were nothing like those who are often caricatured in print - all sun hats and varicose veins, and knitting willy warmers to the strains of Jerusalem played on an

out of tune piano - but covered a wide age range and were a giggling, well drilled team ablaze in their summer frocks and flowery blouses; a gaggle of brightly coloured females with impressive buns . . . and pies.

In maligning the unreliable summer weather of the Mother Country, we tend to forget that the beautiful English countryside would not be what it is if the UK experienced

Spanish type summers and dry, warm winters.

The oft quoted comment that England would be the perfect country if we were able to access the Mediterranean climate is therefore paradoxical nonsense.

With the choice of a sweltering arid landscape, or the lush green countryside that so epitomises our country - I know which I prefer.

It’s certainly a dog’s life SOME dog owners hold conversations with their dogs as though they were humans Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

WE sophisticated Westerners, depending on how well or badly we were dragged up, scoff or curl the lip at Hindu reverence towards cattle.

Our Indian friends are hardly alone; animal worship throughout the world is quite common.

Some of us are made of sterner stuff. Yours truly is just one generation removed from a farming family.

With the help and sturdy companionship of dogs, we lived as farmers for 1,000 years.

Farm dogs were extremely intelligent, disciplined, loyal and useful.

Most of us will have watched the BBC series,

One Man and His Dog. I relate to it well. I spent happy years as a schoolboy in Corwen and Bala in N o r t h Wales. I don’t recall dogs as pets; partners in farm management c e r t a i n l y, but not pets.

Here in Spain, however, the canine species has morphed into a foot-dragging, illdisciplined couchsurfing grubby bag of fur.

If you will excuse the

I don’t recall dogs as pets, more like partners in farm management.

expression, we tend to ape Ancient Egyptians who venerated the cat species.

They decorated their walls with images and statuettes of cats. We prefer portraits of Rex and Fido, which I think is acting the goat.

Now, animal worship is all well and good if that is your thing.

Live and let live is my motto.

What I cannot understand is some dog owners hold conversations with their dogs as ANCIENT EGYPT: Decorated their walls with cats.

DOMESTIC violence, has sadly become a commonplace occurrence with a total of seven people murdered in violent incidents in just one weekend recently.

Those deaths came on the heels of another incident the same week in which a whole family, a six-year-old boy, his 14-year-old sister, the father, 37 and his mother, 64 were found dead.

We have become accustomed to reading such news across Spain, and although there are educational campaigns to prevent abuse as well as prevention units with staff on hand ready to respond to incidents, the violence continues.

In fact, an epidemic of violence seems to be occurring which we cannot ignore. The truth is, members of ordinary families are being wiped out because of domestic abuse and it raises questions as to why this is such a disturbing feature in our society.

While many would like to dismiss such incidents as simply crimes of passion, serious research into the causes of such trends is woefully inadequate.

Whether they are committed by jealous, possessive partners who cannot control their rage, or individuals with mental issues, society needs to investigate what on earth is happening and why.

though they were human companions. Ever thought of adopting or fostering a human rather than a canine child, ma’am?

The Royal Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) was founded in in 1824; the National Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSCPP) was founded in 1894. Notice kids don’t get the Royal stamp of approval.

In Denmark you can’t buy a pit bull terrier but you can visit the dog brothel. In Germany bestiality brothels are legal. Keep your eyes on your dogs, folk. They are on the lookout for good looking canines.

Fishing dilemma solution not too difficult to reel in...

OH, Steve P, what can you do? You wanted to buy a fishing licence (Letters, Issue 1565) and they sent you back to Crewe.

No doubt the environment agency offered you the correct forms to fill out in 75 different languages and informed you that if you could not understand them they would offer you a free translator.

I hope Steve P is not basing his assumption that Spain will go down the tubes on the fact that he cannot buy a €15 (not sure of the current cost) fishing licence.

As I understand it Spain is recovering quite well from the recession and is not helped by the sort of negative comments made by him.

Where else can you live amongst very friendly Spanish neighbours, enjoy superb weather, buy a menu del dia for €8.50 and generally live the good life.

However, back to his complaint.

There are three very simple ways to solve the problem: 1. Learn the language and try again; 2. Take a translator with you or 3. Employ a gestoria to do it for you. Ways 2 and 3 do not cost a fortune and you will be helping the economy that you are quick to put down.

Easy, job done!

Yours, a very happy, fully licensed and insured fisherman living La Buena Vida here in beautiful Andalucia.

Robert Coatman, La Palomo (Manilva)

True ladies HAVING been introduced to ladies’ football as a result of watching the Women’s World Cup, it occurs to me that there are three standout questions that require closer investigation: Why do women not spit before and after free kicks, whilst they are waiting to come on or, come to think of it, why don’t they spit at all?

Why don’t they constantly dispute the referee’s decisions, ganging up on her en masse in an attempt to get her to change

Photographs for possible publication should be sent by email with a full caption to: photonews@euroweeklynews.com

Not quite…

I ALMOST always agree with everything Leapy says; however, doesn’t he see that poor old Cliff Richard (all editions, Issue 1565) obviously does not intend for the UK taxman to get any more of his money after the way the police treated him.

And for death duties, they can swing for that too. As for the tennis, who cares? Cliff is obviously just so disgusted with the whole lot of them. And he can watch it on TV, if he gives a damn. Not all innocent people go round screaming blue murder; it’s usually the guilty who take that approach.

Otherwise, I’m happy to keep the faith, right along with you.

Patsy (By email)

Good views I took a trip to the lovely city of Sevilla, but boy was it hot! We had to wait for the sun to start going down before we could cool off.

John Marshall (Valencia) her mind?

Why don’t we get close-ups of them screaming invective and telling each other to ’eff-off'?

Ah well, I suppose given time they’ll learn how proper footballers behave!

Ken Turner, San Fulgencio (Alicante)

Russian hype HARDLY a week passes without Mike Walsh using his column in your publication to promote Russian propaganda and decry the West.

Your response will probably be that this is in the best traditions of press freedom; fair enough!

But do you not owe it to your readers to employ a columnist with opposing views to those of Mr Walsh to maintain a fair balance?

Would you support the BBC if it chose to only give air time to one

political party, which is exactly what you are doing?

Is any member of your staff charged with checking the facts and figures he quotes; if not, should you not issue a quote that they are unconfirmed?

Finally, if Mike believes so vehemently in Russia’s action on the world stage and its threat to world stability should he not live there and financially support it instead of being domiciled in a Europe he obviously despises as being weak and easily influenced?

George Morland, Cartagena (Murcia) Editor’s note We do believe in free speech at the EWN. Mike Walsh’s views are controversial, but he has every right to express them.

His views, and those of all our columnists, are personal and do not necessarily reflect those of the EWN.

Quite right I READ Leapy’s article on corruption in the world (all editions, Issue 1564) and think he is completely correct.

I have been saying it for years but people think I should be committed, or they are probably ashamed that they have been controlled and didn’t realise or want to hear it.

Wars are not started by the people but by the arms and military equipment producers. They kid the members of the forces that they are protecting their country.

The probable truth is the members of the armed forces are risking their lives to line the pockets of the already filthy rich.

I could go on but I think Leapy gets where I’m coming from.

Congratulations to him on a great article. I am looking forward to more.

W Parker (By email)

I DON’T get to read Leapy’s column every week, but when I do, I mostly agree with his sentiments.

This latest one regarding the electronic tag removal is just ludicrous!

I agree with Leapy when he made the point that indeed the man in question should be fitted with an explosive device.

If this person was so afflicted then he should be sectioned and sent to a mental hospital, although I am not sure whether there are any hospitals left now.

Apparently the Met police have been told to stop chasing motor cyclists when the riders remove their helmets. How utterly absurd, especially if they have committed a serious crime.

Keep up the good tirades Neil (By email)

YOUR STARS LEO (July 24 - August 23) Arm yourself with plenty of information about what is going on in your life at the moment. Those close might expect you to lead the way on an important matter. You need to trust your instincts more and have confidence. Think in the long term.

Those who are not considered important now could be so in the future. As you prefer being in charge, this should not seem unnatural to you.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Although you feel like going it alone at the moment, you would do well to involve someone close in your project or exercise. There is room for improvement in both your life and your health but it can be more enjoyable if shared. Expect surprises in your love life and you will not be surprised.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It could be that you are feeling a little below par at the moment. You may assume it is because of a recent emotional upset, but it is unlikely to be quite that simple. Spend a bit of time and money on yourself for a change.

Develop your talents in the realms of writing, painting and music. This need not take a large amount of time. Start with one simple project.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Despite pulling out all the stops when it comes to a certain person or project, your charm may not be working as well as usual this week. It is still a fine time to beaver on quietly in the background.

Have you been a bit of a couch potato recently? Spend some of this week working towards a healthy mind in a healthy body.

Running yourself ragged should certainly be avoided. Seek expert advice now about a problem that just won’t go away. It will, but only with a lot of effort. Although you prefer to share your activities, this is one area that you need to concentrate on fully, so go for it alone to begin with.

A few emotional fireworks make you sit up and take notice, but try to be open-minded.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Get some rest and peace because, if you let yourself get too tired, your temper could suffer. When it comes to business get it over with so that you can spend extra time on your social life.

Something important is round the corner.

much going on that will affect your future to a large extent.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) For some time, things on the romantic front have been confusing, to say the least. There are decisions that someone has to make that affect you seriously. Romantically and emotionally, things come to a head but don’t let the wind of change blow away all that you have achieved.

Don’t begin to doubt yourself or others will, too.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You may well feel that your business life is not going as well as you would have hoped this week. They do say that you can’t have everything right at once.

This is a good time to enjoy the company of others and make your love life buzz.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Sometimes you shuffle things around to survive difficult times. The energy that this uses means that realising a dream this week could mean difficult choices to be made. Your need to be settled makes you impatient.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is something of the rebel in you this week. Even you don’t fully understand the changes taking place.

You will resist any attempt to stop from expressing yourself freely. Although you prefer a peaceful time, it may be necessary to remind someone of your rights.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Energy is low but your spirit seems to be getting power from somewhere. At times, it feels that it is almost outside of your own sphere. When tackling what is seen as a tedious task, you may not be aware that you are building something for the future, but there is

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

THE 15th book in Daniel Silva’s best-selling series sees Gabriel Allon back in action and as good as ever as he prepares to move from his role as an active spy to taking over as leader of ‘the office,’ Israel’s secretive spy organisation.

This time round, readers will be kept glued to the pages as Allon investigates the murder of an English Princess, ‘the most famous woman in the world,’ and is soon joined on the case

by English-born recurrent character Christopher Keller.

Surprisingly after so many novels, Silva manages to keep the Allon character fresh and weaves information in from previous books while at the same time making the stories clear enough to please both new readers of the series and long-standing fans. books@euroweeklynews.com

TOP 10

As tourists arrive in force in Spain, residents looking for somewhere to escape the norm this year without travelling too far are considering the following European must-see destinations.

1. Akureyri, Iceland Although just five years ago Iceland received very few tourists, it has now popped up and secured itself a place on the travel maps.

While most visitors head for the southern part of the country, Akureyri - on the northern coast - with a population of just 18,000, is a quieter, more peaceful place to head for. The green fields, fishing villages, waterfalls and bays are well worth a visit and the power of nature is evident all around, from glaciers to volcanoes.

2. Leipzig, Germany It’s easy to see why this slightly aging but charming city is known as the new Berlin: students, artists and entrepreneurs are flooding in, in search of cheap homes and a creative atmosphere.

As the city celebrates 1,000 years since its first appearance in writing with festivals and shows, it’s a good idea to see it before the modern-world takes it over.

3. The Azores, Portugal The Azores are a long way from anywhere which explains why they remain one of Europe’s best kept secrets. The spectacular chain of nine islands is Portuguese but is stranded out in the Atlantic about 1,500 km west of Lisbon.

Nature rules supreme and nobody comes away unimpressed by the emerald colouring, amazing sea life and adventures to be found there. Cheap flights now available mean it’s another place it’s probably best to visit before it’s too late.

4. Malaga, Spain Known as the entrance to the Costa del Sol, many have turned their noses up in the past at Malaga City, yet with its sunshine, beaches, fish

Sudoku

and a charming historical centre now combined with museums galore, the city is making its place on the lists as a world-class culture destination.

5. Belgrade, Serbia Wearing its elegant but decrepit facades with pride, Belgrade has recently become the place to go for travellers in the known. Its busy nightlife, with floating clubs on the river, means it has nothing to envy other better known western cities. History lovers have a lot to see, and new kayak, cycling and underground routes provide something new for weary sightseers who think they’ve seen it all before.

6. Piamonte, Italy Although this year Milan is the Italian city in the limelight due to Expo 2015, further west Turin in the Piamonte Region has a lot to offer. The city recently put the Holy Shroud on permanent display, and it has also become the European Sports Capital, with events including rugby matches (Italy plays against Scotland on August 22), street golf and beach volleyball.

7. Baku, Azerbaijan Although it is next to the Caspian Sea, between Russia and Iran, Baku - Azerbaijan’s capital - is

considered part of Europe and one of the urban spaces on the continent that is changing the quickest.

Soviet era concrete is being swapped for all things bright and shiny, with new architectural jewels springing up amongst medieval walls.

Until recently difficulty obtaining visas and high prices scared tourists off, but the currency has devaluated this year and the 2015 European Games have made obtaining visas easier.

8. Amsterdam, Holland With its photogenic canals, museums crammed with works of art, bike paths all over the place, flower markets, nightlife and cosmopolitan gastronomy, Amsterdam is a place everyone should visit at least once.

Sail Amsterdam, running this year from August 19-23, is an impressive added extra with yachts of all shapes and sizes to gaze at, concerts and other activities planned.

9. Tromsø, Norway Fiords, nature and adventures galore, what more reason could one need to head for Tromsø? The city offers a broad range of attractions, from whale spotting, skiing, kayaking, dog-sleigh rides to a marathon under the midnight sun in June or reindeer racing during Sami week in February.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Get insurance for your electric bike AS part of our series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

ELECTRIC BIKES: Insurance will offer you peace of mind.

MANY people ask about insurance for electrical bikes. The team at N332.es say insurance is not compulsory and is optional, but it is recommended for a number of reasons: Many people assume that their bike is covered on their home contents insurance policy. Some home insurers do cover it as standard but the bike will often only be insured if it’s inside the property or secured in an outbuilding; if it is stolen from your garden the insurer will not pay out.

You would also be unable to claim on your standards contents policy if the theft took place outside a shop for example.

As a result, a number of firms are now offering specialist bicycle insurance to cater for the growing number of cycle enthusiasts

and most will cover against theft whether from your home or elsewhere.

Bicycle insurance does not only cover theft, but should also pay out for accidental damage or vandalism and look for a policy to cover third party liability cover in case you injure another person or damage their car or bike. With more cyclists on Spain’s roads these days, accidents are more common so insurance offers you peace of mind.

Cycle breakdown cover is also available which works in much the same way as car breakdown cover and is a popular add on.

So whether you are a cycle enthusiast or looking at buying an electric bike for ease of getting around, look at finding the right insurance policy to cover you and your bike.

Do Brits lose their rights in Spain?

When I was about to retire, my NHS Doctor told me that, if I wanted to live long enough to collect my pension, I should leave the UK for a warmer climate. I wrote to the Spanish Embassy in London to ask if my family would lose any rights.

If you need to live in a better climate, you are ahead right there. Secondly, Spain does not ‘target’ Brits. The horrible situation of property demolitions is the worst effect of the property boom-andbust combined with a blind bureaucracy, but it hit unwary Spanish buyers as well as foreigners, and is at last being cor-

They replied that we would not.

However, seeing that the Spanish Government ‘target’ Brits for illegal demands for new taxes and property demolitions, this seems untrue.

The law is directed at Spaniards themselves with hidden assets abroad.

This law is directed at Spaniards themselves with hidden assets abroad. So you are taxed at Spanish rates, similar to UK rates, and you get your healthcare from the Spanish system.

She received the crown in The Rock’s beauty pageant at the Alameda Open Air Theatre, describing it as “as dream come true.” Expressing her surprise at the award, she said: “I really can’t believe it. I am still in shock. I think it’s going to take a long while for it to sink in. I am just so happy.”

Big NATO exercise scheduled for Strait ONE of the biggest NATO exercises in decades will gather more than 25,000 troops from 30 countries to join its Trident Juncture exercise in the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar between October 3 and November 6.

Increasing tensions across the region, such as the recent conflict in the Ukraine and the return to much chillier relations with Russia, have provoked fears that the country is seeking to return to its former military might as the USSR. NATO, therefore, is aiming to strengthen defences in preparation for any possible future military action that may occur.

Spain and Portugal are hosting some of the manoeuvres

Slaughter on the sand in Tunisia: Thatcher would have gone ballistic!

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

WITNESSES in Tunisia said the lone ISIS killer, Seifeddine Rezgui, laughed as he mowed down holidaymakers fleeing across the sand, leaving blood-soaked bodies next to upturned loungers. “He was choosing who to shoot. Some people, he was saying to them ‘you go away.’

He was choosing tourists, British...”

According to Jonathan Hill, professor of defence studies at London University, the recent attacks resulting in the deaths of 30 British tourists have damaged Tunisia’s image as a stable, democratic nation, their aim being to undermine fatally tourism and the structures which have made the country probably the only one of the Arab Spring with a fledgling democracy following its Jasmine Revolution in 2011: “The terrorists are attacking Tunisia’s reputation. Not just as a safe and welcoming destination for western holidaymakers, but as the one real suc-

MARGARET THATCHER: Would have approved proactive action. cess story to emerge out of the Arab Spring.”

Europe’s security services are fighting a defensive war against Islamic terrorism, trying to thwart terrorist plots and arrest potential terrorists in cells within mosques, schools and so on.

A solution, as in the case of the IRA, normally requires a negotiated agreement but that, clearly,

will be out of the question with ISIS. Furthermore, the increasing number of migrants fleeing across the Mediterranean and uncertainty as to whether any of them constitute a potential threat to European citizens. Time is slipping by, and events, including the ongoing turbulence in the Middle East, indicate that the

danger for Europe is intensifying, given the increase in radicalised lone killers like Rezgui.

Ultimately, this defensive policy must surely change before opposition to western values both within and surrounding Europe becomes so entrenched that recovery may be impossible. Not so long ago, such ideas would have been scarcely credible, but much has gone wrong.

Given the way digital technology has transformed dissemination of information and culture, it isn’t surprising terrorists acquire training and ideology in a very short time and, like Rezgui, without the need to leave the country.

The consensus the attacks in Tunisia - together with the ones in Kuwait and France - were coordinated suggests Europe is facing a far more complex threat. One that requires considerably more proactive, SAS-style, longer-term counterterrorism remedies and tactics - that Thatcher would have approved of - than those employed hitherto.

RAJOY is so confident - or unperceptive - he told an interviewer he has no enemies inside Partido Popular. This could be touching faith in himself or those he trusts but for someone in his position it betrays a dangerous lack of imagination.

A blind spot ONLY professional fixers disdain the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” school of thought. Spain’s president Mariano Rajoy, who conspicuously avoids as much fixing as possible, has a blind spot regarding repairs.

If indiscreet insiders are to be believed, his first reaction after the May 24 election results was mild satisfaction that the Partido Popular was still the most-voted party.

This attitude is unlikely to lose them votes but neither will it gain them. The general public are largely unbothered about that particular piece of legislation and significantly less upset than the huge fines that could be slapped on unauthorised demonstrations.

Free speech matters more than occasional isolated life-long incarceration for sadists or terrorists.

England is not a nation of walkers

Give yourself a pat on the back when you deserve it

2nd July

REMEMBER that we are human, not bionic Erica Russell Watson:

months. My next oncology appointment is in November so now is all about resting and repairing my heart, soul, body and mind.

My journey – and I’m driving

WALKING: Urban dwellers do so only if they have to.

IT has been revealed that one in seven adults go a whole month without walking for at least 10 minutes continually.

This figure rises to around one in four in some areas of the UK according to figures from the Department of Transport in association with Sport England, which studied the habits of people in England.

For the over 65 age group, a quarter of men and nearly one

in three women fail to stretch their legs every four weeks.

The study found urban dwellers are more likely to walk because they have to, while people in rural parts are more likely to walk for pleasure. Whilst there may not be too many walkers, some 54 per cent said they had carried out some form of moderate physical activity over the last month, compared to 46 per cent who did not.

Diptheria plan SPAIN is to propose to the health ministers of the EU that a centralised stock of reserves of the diphtheria antitoxin is created that can be accessed quickly by any European country should a case of diphtheria occur as in Olot (Girona).

Secretary General of Health Ruben Moreno said he will make the proposal to health officials at the EU Council of Ministers meeting being held in Luxembourg.

Moreno will present the need for a reserve stock of diphtheria antitoxin so that, before a possible case of diphtheria can be accessed, the antitoxin is available immediately so that early treatment can start of a disease

which is potentially fatal.

He said between 0.2 and 0.4 per cent of Spaniards are carriers of the diphtheria bacteria and this may spread to people who are not vaccinated, so that while “it is rare that cases occur, they may occur.”

BOTH 2014 and 2015 have been seismic years for me and my family.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in August of last year and have undergone operations, chemo and radiotherapy and my children’s father died in February 2015.

I hope it is now time for the sadness to come to an end.

We have battled on together supported by many wonderful friends and family.

The children were recently reunited with their long lost brother and sister which was such a joyous moment. They need all the love and support they can get.

I am now going to take a break from my blog as I will have very little to report over the coming

I have to make shortterm goals and try not to become overwhelmed as this could be a slippery path to depression

The last year ’s events have left me somewhat depleted in so many ways. I have found despite my positive attitude that the accumulation of various factors has affected my ability to cope with difficult situa-

tions. I have to make short-term goals and try not to be become overwhelmed as this could be a slippery path to depression, which long-term is not going to help me or my children.

I think you have to allow yourself space for reflection and even tears but never dwell too much. We are not bionic, just human.

The human being is capable of far more than we know but we have our frailties, too.

Give yourself a pat on the back when you deserve it and don’t be hard on yourself if you aren’t up to much. Rather like the tides, your mood will wash in and out.

Whatever your issues in life, you will have to confront each one. Admit or find out what is wrong, seek help or a way to make it better and just keep the momentum up. Never give in.

You owe it to yourself to fight for your health and happiness.

I wish all at Euro Weekly News and readers a happy summer.

Hip pain may not necessarily come from the ‘hip’ bone IF you’re treating the wrong part of the body, it’s not going to get better THE HIP or acetabilofemoral joint includes over 70 different ligaments, tendons, muscles and bones and is (with the shoulder) the most flexible joint in the body, slightly different in men and women.

Where’s the pain?

Confusingly, the area that most of us refer to as our hip is actually the pelvis bone. The hip joint itself is deep into the groin.

So ‘true’ hip joint pain is usually felt as pain into the groin.

But my hip still hurts!

Pain in the outer thigh, buttock or lower back is often attributed to a problem in the hip joint. But they can be quite separate issues.

Bursitis, tendonitis, sciatica, Iliotibial Band Syndrome, referred

pain from the lower back or knee... these all cause pain in the hip area which isn’t anything to do with the hip joint.

So, as I’ve said again and again, a full and proper physical assessment is important – an X-ray might well show some mild arthritic changes in the hip joint but these might not be causing the current symptoms.

Swing your hips The way you move and walk can also affect your hip. I regularly use video gait analysis to help my patients understand the connection between how their feet, knees, hips and lower back function.

Referred pain from feet, knees and back can cause a lot of hip pain.

No, it’s definitely arthritis in my hip There are three main routes for-

ward depending on how severe the osteoarthritis is: 1. Do nothing – not my favourite but it is always an option.

2. Get a hip replacement if the joint is severely damaged – but please make sure you get proper rehabilitation afterwards so you don’t end up with back and knee problems in the future!

3. Magnetic Resonance Therapy – this regenerates the cartilage, ligaments and tendons within the joint and also reduces the painful bone swelling.

Beware of the ‘Summer Blues’ ANXIETY can be a symptom

By Maria Jose Fernandez MANY people have experienced the mood changes and negative emotional symptoms caused by the lack of sunlight in the winter months.

Less commonly known is Summertime Seasonal Affective Disorder, characterised by a loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, weight loss and anxiety.

A combination of reasons are believed responsible including

disruption in regular routine, eating habits and sleep patterns, body image issues, money worries and the heat and humidity, which can bring added oppression and headaches.

Several tricks can be followed to cope: getting enough sleep by making a commitment to go to bed early, exercising to boost ‘happy’ chemicals in the bloodstream, and forgetting about inflexible diets which can have a bad effect on selfesteem.

Prepare skin for the sun FOR sunburn, hydrate the skin with cold water

By Gemma Quinn FOOD is a good way to prepare the skin for the sun, and to prevent premature ageing, but which foods are best?

Tomato, watermelon and carrots are all reported to boost our skin’s natural protective ingredients.

Nuts also help increase the benefits of sunscreen by up to 25 per cent while fresh fruit, such as cherries, apricots, peaches or melons stimulate melanin, which increases and prolongs a healthy tan.

25%

nuts help increase the benefits of sunscreen by this amount

Green tea as well as green leafy vegetables and fish are rich in Omega 3 which will help heal and protect from sunburn and help maintain the lipid layer of the skin.

In the case of sunburn, hydrate the skin with cold water and chamomile tea and use aloe vera.

For serious cases of sunburn, medical advice should be sought.

Hi I’m FitFoxy, I’m a Personal Fitness Trainer now living on the Costa del Sol. I trained private clients and group classes in Brighton, UK, for nine years, and previous to that, I worked in a London health club for six years.

I’m not one to sugar the pill, so if you are not tackling what is fondly referred to as ‘middleage spread’ with a balanced exercise routine and a sensible diet plan, the healthy lifestyle that you were intending along with your dream life in the sun is in danger of becoming more of an expensive Health Insurance Plan.

I find training small, semi-private groups works extremely well. My clients tend to work harder in a group and, dare I say, even enjoy the sessions.

The mixed hourly classes I give

them are designed to be both effective and challenging.

Clients can sometimes have job related physical imbalances or old injuries that have contributed to their lack of activity for fear of more damage.

What they do learn, however, is that the body is incredibly clever at repairing it-

self in many cases. Watching and correcting imbalances or bad exercise form, along with helping them to keep their motivation with their diet on track, is what I do best.

The many mineral waters of Spain POPULAR regions include the mountain ranges and natural springs of Alpujarras in Granada, Galicia and Valencia

By Wendy Ann Cowham IT is probably hard to believe that within Spain’s sun drenched lands and scorching hillsides that there would actually be a home for the natural flowing spring waters... but there is!

Spain prides itself on many important water regions and mineral water.

Popular regions include Alpujarras in Granada where there is an abundance of mountain ranges and natural springs, Galicia which provides one of the best selling mineral waters, and also Valencia which also provides mineral water.

There are three main types of water that you can find in a bottle, the first type is water that has been altered in some way for human consumption, that is by taking out any chlorine or any other elements that may be harmful or taste bad. This is classed as purified water.

Mineral waters are so called because they contain minerals that they have accumulated via their travels through the rocky mountains. The

BOTTLED WATER: Choose either mineral, purified or spring.

mineral waters also vary in taste depending on the region of origin and the elements that exist there.

The water travels down into underwater reservoirs where it gathers more of the surrounding minerals and there it remains sealed in the underground reservoir which protects it from outer pollution.

Although it is said that this water is ready for consumption, in order to be classed as ‘mineral water’ the water has to be actually bottled at source Another favourite water that adds a little zest into a refreshing drink is spring water which comes from underground, either naturally or it can be in effect ‘mined’ and drawn up by machines. This also has to be bottled at source to earn the title of spring water, but it is usually fit to drink immediately unless there are particles present such as iron or sulphur.

As there are so many companies supplying bottled water, it is calculated that there are approximately 170 brands to choose from, some of the most popular being the sparkling ones which are high in minerals.

Artichokes good for your diet SPAIN is third biggest producer of the artichoke after Egypt and Italy, but they are believed to have been naturally native to the Mediterranean area where they were first found in their wild state as a budding flower.

The part of the artichoke that is edible before it comes into flower is the heart, so once the budding process is passed it cannot be cultivated as food.

There were many varieties found in Sicily during the Roman period where the leaves of the artichoke were eaten by the Greeks.

They were also found in Naples in the 9th century and thereafter spread to Florence and cultivated there too. It is said the Arabs had much to do with improving the blossom of the thistle, and from the 15th century onwards the artichoke became a wonderful but curious new addition.

They were also grown in the garden of Henry VIII in

1530 after being introduced to England by the Dutch. The vegetable did not reach the United States until the 19th century, so the artichoke was slow to expand out of Europe.

As far as health benefits of are concerned, they are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and K and are a fantastic source of folate, dietary fibre. It is said the ancient Greeks ate them in abundance as they were known to be a great aphrodisiac, a diuretic, a breath freshener and also a good deodorant.

In 2004 the USA department of agriculture conducted an analysis of the plant and found it to be the 4th most consumed vegetables to be eaten for its antioxidant content. Since then the artichoke is common in many dishes, especially in Spain, so adding to your diet may not only aid your health, but it may kick start your love life!

By Dilip Kuner WITH a trend to low strength and alcohol free beers increasing sales it may seem strange that 23 per cent of new beers launched have been high strength.

But that is a fact revealed in new research by market analysts Mintel. Of the new beers launched globally in 2014 nearly a quarter had an ABV of 6.5 per cent or higher compared to 15 per cent of beers launched in 2012.

What’s more, largely due to the growth of craft beers - which are getting ever more popular in Spain - the research finds that between 2011 and 2014, the number of beers launched globally with an ABV of 6.5 per cent or over rose by 280 per cent worldwide and 307 per cent in Europe.

In Europe too, over two in five (43 per cent) Polish consumers who purchase beer say they prefer beer with an ABV of 5 per cent or more, as do 41 per cent in Italy, 39 per cent in France, 33 per cent in Spain and 31 per cent in Germany.

What’s more, across Europe beerdrinkers aged 18-24 are especially likely to prefer strong ABV beers. Almost half (48 per cent) of Italian consumers aged 18-24 who purchase beer say they prefer beer with an ABV of 5 per cent of more, as well as 46 per cent of this age group in Poland, 45 per cent in France, 38 per cent in Spain and 36 per cent in Germany.

In the UK, Mintel’s research shows consumers associate a higher ABV with a higher quality beer, hence the term ‘premium.’

Try a Caprese Salad WHAT finer combination for a healthy salad dish could you choose than scrumptious, juicy tomatoes, sliced and slotted inbetween Mozzarella cheese and topped with a pesto dressing? It is a combination made in heaven, or should I say the island of Capri where the name originated from at the beginning of the 20th century.

Capri is home to the Cacio cheese which is a semi soft cheese made from sheep’s milk and was a very popular cheese used in snacks and dishes throughout Rome and Italy.

It was some time later that Mozzarella took its place, as this Buffalo milk’s cheese became favoured for its taste alongside the tomatoes. The tomatoes vary, but here in Spain the beefsteak tomato seems a popular ingredient in the dish due to taste and size.

Gazpacho variations add elegance to summer menus PERFECT dish for those hot days, its healthy, refreshing, filling and thirst-quenching

By Staff Reporter SPEND a few summer days in Spain and one will undoubtedly sample various versions of its classic summer soup, gazpacho. It’s the perfect dish for sweltering summer days: healthy, refreshing, filling and thirst-quenching.

Along the Costa del Sol, the traditional recipe is a tried and true favourite; however, this delicious fresh cold soup can be adapted to impress even the most discerning of palates.

The term gazpacho, which simply refers to cold soup, traces back to thrifty peasants making the most of left-over vegetables and day-old bread.

The most typical recipe today calls for fresh veggies - tomatoes, peppers, c u cu mb e rs a n d g arlic - a c hunk of bread and a generous splash of olive oil and sherry vinegar, all thrown together in the blender and liquefied.

For a fresh approach, why not spice

GREEN GAZPACHO: Sure to make mouths water. it up with a bit of experimentation?

Instead of tomatoes, perhaps use wa-

termelon or strawberries, thus maintaining the rosy hue but surprising guests with a touch of sweetness. For a tangier version, try green tomatillos or unripe red tomatoes, while for spicier dishes, consider jalapeno peppers or grated ginger.

Not as wel l - known i n Spain but sure to make mouths water, green gazpacho is a delightful addition to the menu.

Sweet and smooth, this variation calls for green-skinned Spanish melons, plus other green-hued vegetables, fruits and herbs, such as cucumbers, grapes and mint.

Yoghurt or sour cream also adds an especially smooth touch to this version.

When ser vi ng t hese sum m er soups, remember to serve them chilled and think about presentation.

A dollop of sour cream and sprinkling of herbs make for an especially pretty garnish, and best of all, it tastes even better than it looks!

FOOD & DRINK

Enjoyed by certain gentlemen IT is quite humorous to think that the drink Bucks Fizz was actually invented as an excuse to begin early drinking, as the orange juice was meant to dilute the alcohol of the Champagne.

It evolved from a bar in London called the London Bucks Club and the true recipe was only known by its creator, the barman Mr McGarry.

The Bucks Club was a gentlemen’s club established in 1919 and the Bucks Fizz creation was first served there in 1921 as a cocktail. This trendy drink at the time probably caught on due to the English author P.G. Wodehouse, as he mentioned Mc Garry and his cocktails in one of his stories.

The Bucks Club was renowned for attracting prestigious clientele with a list of members which included Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Christopher Lee, Sir John Major and Robert Hardy.

The known recipe of today for the Bucks Fizz Cocktail is two parts orange juice to one part Champagne and some add grenadine to add colour.

Another cocktail that mimicked the Bucks Fizz in later years was called the Mimosa, which was invented in Paris using equal measures of orange juice and Champagne.

Now that he summer is here, a little Bucks Fizz could be an ideal way to take in some vitamin C with a kick! to it!

From brown, black and white, rice is nice for us RICE, incredibly nice for you.

Did you know that there are 40,000 different varieties of rice worldwide produced in all shapes and colours and each have their own textures too? There are fields upon fields of crops grown in abundance as rice is generally known as an annual crop.

The definition of a whole grain rice means all of the bran, germ, and endosperm has to be intact to qualify as this was endorsed by the Whole Grains Council in May 2004. Included in the criteria of brown rice is, barley, quinoa, bulgur and wild rice to name a few, and they are believed to be more beneficial to you health wise due to the high content of fibre.

Whole grains have also been noted to have lowered the symptoms of depression and cer-

tain cancers. It is also surprising to find that whole grains are a good source of protein and some contain zinc, which helps the body to heal, copper, that helps to regulate the blood pressure, and manganese which aids the formation of healthy cartilage and bone. Some of the most popular rice dishes are cooked with the brown variety such as Jasmine or Basmati which many will enjoy alongside their

favourite curry.

Black rice may look a little strange but this variety is cultivated in China, has a chewy texture and tastes rather nutty.

Black rice has been found to contain the same type of antioxidants that you find in blueberries which is probably why it is easily found in Chinese health food stores. Italian restaurants also pride themselves on their risotto creations in which the short grain varieties of rice are used. Rice is used internationally included in an extensive choice of cuisine in many cultures.

Dogs that bark all the time are definitely a problem!

IF an owner will not listen to your appeals, you can contact the Guardia Civil’s Seprona unit, who will take action your neighbour is saying that the dog is barking a lot then the dog really is barking excessively.

Do you live next door to a barking dog?

Or are you that neighbour from hell with the dog that barks all day and night?

Many barking and destructive dogs are given the label Separation Anxiety. Once a vet hears of this type of behaviour he might prescribe the latest drug Clomicalm, manufactured by Norvartis.

However, this drug should only be used in combination with behavioural therapy techniques.

If you have a neighbour who will not listen to your appeals, then contact the Guardia Civil and ask for Seprona. They will definitely take action, which could result in big fines for the guilty owners.

Neater Heater makes winter bearable NOT only efficient, effective and economical, but as you would expect extremely stylish and practical too FOR most expats, staying warm in winter presents a challenging problem. After all, it is only for a few months, so a complete central heating system seems a bit excessive. Gas estufas are effective, but unhealthy, ugly, and cumbersome.

Log burners and pellet burners are great for the general living area, but you wouldn’t want one in every room, even if you could afford it, or had the space. Generally, what’s left is electric heaters, and there is a bewildering choice of those around, ranging from cheap ugly ones that cost a fortune to run, all the way to space-age designs that profess to be economical, but cost the price of a second-hand car.

Tony and Richard of Neater Heater understand this. Facing this problem several year s a g o , t h e y d is c o v e re d th at th o s e clever Norwegians held the key by keeping the basic design of their convector heaters simple, but effective, while using modern technology and materials to make them efficient and economical to run.

The difference between a Neater Heater compared to most electric heaters is that most electric heaters use their energy in getting the heater hot, whereas the Neater Heater focuses on getting the air in your room warm. As Tony explains, “A lot of electric heaters have relatively small surface areas. The element has to get incredibly hot to heat the casing of the heater, which then warms the air it contacts which isn’t much as it has a small surface contact area. The Neater Heater, on the

then rises out of the top of the heater and cold air is drawn in to replace it. This air is then heated and a convection cycle is started. Within 15-20 minutes your room should be warm, and the thermostat will st ar t cont r ol l i ng t he oper at i on of t he heater, reducing your consumption.

“All this information, and more, is on our website,” Richard informs us, “You can find out the size of heater you need, decide from the numerous models which one would suit your budget and decor best, and decide whether to buy directly from our online shop, or whether to visit one of our agents.”

Neater Heaters are not only efficient, eff ect i ve, and econom i cal , but as you would expect from a Scandinavian product, they are extremely stylish and practical. There is also a model that will suit anyone, whether it is the standard Adax Heater, the stylish Beha Heater, or the trendy Neo with digital controls, Neater Heaters are a great solution to making Spanish winters bearable.

They are especially useful when family or friends are visiting and can be fun and in some cases educational.

ACTIVE GAMES The following are all possible; darts, hoop-la, giant draughts or chess, skittles, barskittles, mini billiards, charades, the northern Spain game of frog, bar football, treasure hunts, horse shoe throwing, and quoits.

Pétanque/boule with metal or plastic balls can be played on any grass, sand or stone chipping surface.

If you have the space, the following are also possible; a game of pétanque, tennis, bad-

minton, basketball, cricket, golf driving or putting, a mini golf course, mini football and touch rugby.

QUIETER GAMES The following allow pairs or small groups to pass the time; rummikub, draughts, chess, various card games, dice, scrabble, dominoes, and board games like snakes and ladders.

B. ALFRESCO COOKING Luckily these days there are several ways beyond barbecues to cook interesting breakfasts,

lunches and dinners in the garden.

• Many expats like to cook good paellas and using the pan for cooking other rice dishes and fideuas, and also as a griddle for meats and fish.

• Solar cookers.

• Many expats have started to cook with tagines brought back from holidays in Morocco.

• Electric steamers and griddles can also be used rigged up on an extension lead. © Dick Handscombe www.garden spain.com

Enjoy a safe home and business this summer TODAY we have many options available to us to protect our homes and businesses John Graham The property expert IT’S hard to believe but the first electromagnetic alarm system in the world was already patented on June 21, 1853.

Up until then, home-owners had mainly relied on the chatter of their geese or guarddogs to catch intruders on their property.

Today, we have many high-tech and lowtech options available to us to protect our homes and businesses, so this week I want to talk about having a safe home and business this summer, using both technology and common sense.

Unfortunately, home robberies are on the increase and protecting your home and family is one of the most important things you can do.

Effective security requires a multi-level approach, good home security starts with strategy. Avoid the telltale signs that you are away. Leave some lights on. Place your second car in the driveway. Be careful about telling your holiday plans to acquaintances and strangers. Don’t announce your travel

schedule on your answering machine and never talk about your travel dates on social network sites.

An alarm system is important for protecting your home and family, but nothing provides comfort and security like 24-hour monitoring.

Alarms offer worry-free, around-the-clock monitoring for residential security as well as early warning against fires. Insurance com-

panies recognise it and most offer discounts on your home and business insurance.

It’s commonplace to find video surveillance in commercial and industrial environments and now more and more home-owners are using video cameras and recording systems to protect their homes and families.

Today’s video surveillance technology incorporates features that are ideal for securing private property. IP cameras allow you to

Motion detection cameras can be programmed to begin recording when they sense movement or even send you an email or SMS message so you can login remotely and assess the situation.

UPWARDS NOT OUTWARDS: The Barcelona district of Eixample has caught on to the idea of using air space.

another floor or two, which will allow more homes to be built without the need to use up undeveloped land and create infrastructures to support them.

The first step is to buy the air space, then buildings are primed by installing lifts, redoing facades and other work needed to adapt them to the new addition while also improving surroundings for existing residents.

Meanwhile, the flats themselves are built at an off-site factory with plumbing, electrical installations and flooring built into the units.

Once ready, units can be shipped in and placed on top of the building in as little as one day.

Some might say...

New Opel Adam Rocks S is both rugged and racy CREDIT: COPYRIGHT GM MOTORS

AT €19,990 this vehicle will appeal to sporty and adventurous types

IT may be pocket size but the new Opel Adam Rocks S is more rugged than dainty.

Despite measuring a slim 3.75 metres long, its racing power is not to be sniffed at, with a powerful 1.4-litre turbo engine with 110kW/150 hp.

Adventurous and smart with its IntelliLink infotainment technology with personal connectivity and service assistant Opel OnStar, it also features an extensive choice of trim typical of the ADAM series.

On release at an attractive 19,990 euros, it will appeal to sporty, adventurous types as it combines the ADAM’s rugged features, optional Swing top roof as well as the under-ride protection and off-road features, with the Adam Rock S roof spoiler, performance steering and impressive horsepower in one package.

Speed trap sites revealed THE location of 1,200 mobile speed gun locations on Spain’s roads were revealed by DGT last Thursday, July 2. Maria Segui, head of DGT operations, points out these sites will be on problem spots where speed limits are not being adhered to.

Spanish authorities published 350 locations in early May before the weekend holiday and this new information comes out just before summer traffic hits.

Road deaths continue to fall DESPITE appearing to rise again in 2014, the number of road deaths in Spain are once again showing a decrease. The first quarter of 2015 saw the number of deaths due to road accidents drop to 496 - 11 less than the same period last year.

This figure represents a decrease of 2 per cent overall between January and June.

DAIMLER EG: Focusing on its battery technology.

ELECTRIC and hybrid vehicles are now a staple in motoring and Daimler AG continue to roll out the smart eco alternatives in the shape of Mercedes-Benz plug-in hybrids.

Having already gained the prestige of developing the world’s most varied fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles, Daimler are set to achieve a total of 10 Mercedes-Benz plugin hybrids by 2017 alongside a launch of all-electric vehicles.

The GLE 500 e 4MATIC is due out in August 2015 and is the latest Mercedes-Benz plugin hybrid and the third model since the arrival of last year’s S 500 and this March’s C 350.

To this end, the company is focusing on its development of battery technology. The company is investing heavily in this engineering with the aim of leading the way to emission-free driving through a range of vehicles that are foremost in efficiency.

Such eco-friendly motoring will arrive through the use of more powerful internal combustion engines, electric cars with batteries for the city and urban environment, while

launching plug-in hybrids for long journeys or through mixed environments, as well as a range for larger vehicles.

Daimler’s pioneering battery technology uses lithiumion technology as the basis for its plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles and as Harald Kroger, Mercedes-Benz’s Head of Development for Electrics/Electronics & EDrive states, it is currently the most efficient battery technology available, and is competitive in terms of quality, service life and costs.

Mercedes-Benz e-vehicles were put to the test in the Silvretta E-Auto Rally from July 2 to 5.

The rally took place in the stunning location of Austria’s Alps and some 150 vintage cars took part alongside 30 emission-free electric cars over 366 kilometres of challenging roads of steep terrain and high altitudes.

By Dilip Kuner MALAGA CF’s junior women’s team has been hailed as an ‘example of equality’ after they competed against male teams last season.

The Malaga Sports Press Association recognised the team at its annual prizegiving at the Edgar Neville Auditorium. The women’s ‘Cadete’ team from the club’s academy and former Malaga player Samu Castillejo were honoured along with shot putter Borja Vivas, karate ath-

lete, Damian Quintero, the female swimming team from Real Club Mediterraneo and futsal team, UMA Antequera.

The girls last season cometed in the fourth Andaluza category in Group III against 13 boys’ teams. The sports writers decided that deserved recognition as “an example of equality, taking part against male teams for the entire season, under the current rules of the Andalucían Football Federation.”

This was Hamilton’s third F1 victory on home soil, following in the footsteps of Jim Clark and Alain Prost (5 wins each), Nigel Mansell (4), Jack Brabham (3), Niki Lauda (3) and Michael Schumacher (3).

It was all down to a superb driving performance in wet and dry conditions and his own decision to change tyres with laps fast running out.

Hamilton now leads the championship by 17 points.

The next race is in Budapest, Hungary on July 26.

TENNIS - Wimbledon fortnight concludes this weekend... and at the time of writing, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer were heading for the men’s semi-finals, while Serena Williams (who almost succumbed to Britain’s Heather Watson) and Maria Sharapova were in sight of the women’s last four.

However, Rafael Nadal was eliminated for the fourth year running by a player ranked 100+ in the world - beaten this time by Rastafarian Dustin Brown, while GB’s James Ward reached the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for the very first time.

CRICKET - Yesterday, the first 2015 Ashes Test between England and Australia started in Cardiff. New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum set records galore on his home debut for Birmingham Bears against Derbyshire in the T20 Blast at Edgbaston. The rampaging Kiwi amassed the highestever score in the competition - 158 off just 64 balls. He smashed 11 sixes and 13 fours and had a strike-rate of 246.87. Top-of-the-table Bears won by 60 runs (242 against 182).

Meanwhile, the former England and Derbyshire wicket-keeper Bob Taylor (73) is in hospital after suffering a heart attack.

LONG gone are the days when you had to be interviewed to be a member of a golf club and then wait for elderly members to ‘move on’

SOCIABLE: Golf is the most sociable of all sports.

Getting in the swing with Campbell Lamont

By Tony Myles MANY years ago I was first introduced to this great sport by a colleague who really only wanted to off-load his old blade style clubs “They are ideal for a beginner!” he lied.

At that time the only way that you could actually participate in the sport, if you were a newcomer to the game, was to add your name to a long waiting list at a local golf club and hope that a few elderly members ‘moved on’. Alternatively you could join a Golf Society, whereby you could probably count on one game per month depending on how active your society secretary was.

These days most golf

clubs are desperate for members, so the prospect of being interviewed and then ‘played-in’ has disappeared.

But the opposite is true for the Golf Society as I can confirm it is alive and kicking vibrantly in Spain.

Why? Is it cost? The world is emerging from a deep recession and during this period Campbell Lamont argued with countless golf clubs about their pricing policy and, despite initial resistance, his arguments won them round, until today there are no golf courses in North or South Costa Blanca that do not offer him significant discounts on their green fees.

So for many societies who use CL Golf, it is now a more reasonable and affordable proposition to play a variety of courses.

Convenience? Playing with a Society is always optional and the Society member can pick and choose each event with no financial impediment. By contrast once

the club’s annual subscription is paid then most club members will endeavour to play as frequently as possible.

Socialising? Golf is the most sociable of all sports as you are always endeavouring to beat the course. For many society members the social aspects of their sport are as important as the sport itself.

Variety? This is probably the major difference between the club golfer and the society member. The option of playing various courses offers a real benefit to those who enjoy some variety in their game .

Or, are there other more diverse reasons? What is your opinion? I am always delighted to hear your views.

However, there are hundreds of Golf Societies across Spain and I would like to hear from you on any subject whatsoever. Please email me at info@clgolf.es.

Many thanks.
