Record-breaker! MALAGA AIRPORT registers its best ever figures By Eleanor Hawkins Following on from a good 2014, the number of visitors to Malaga and the Costa del Sol has once again broken records in the first half of this year. New statistics reveal that Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport exceeded its best ever figures by registering 6,441,405 passengers in the first six months of 2015 and also handled more luggage than ever before. A total of 49,618 flights were recorded, the
airport authority AENA explained, and more than two million suitcases were handled between January and June compared to 1,941,342 in the same period in 2014. June alone saw a record 1,478,204 people pass through the airport, 3.1 per cent more than in June 2014, and the peak was registered between 10am and 11am on Sunday June 7, with 6,509 passengers in just one hour. The majority, 515,112, travelled to or from the UK, while 180,884 came from or went to other parts of Spain.

Heatwave to continue EXTREME temperatures set to appear again on Sunday By Maria José Fernandez THE second heatwave Spain is currently suffering will last at least until today (July 16) and has already been credited as the second longest since 1975. The 13 consecutive days with extremely high temperatures forecast by the national meteorology service Aemet have only been beaten previously by a heatwave that swept Europe in the summer of 2003, which lasted from July 30 to August 14. Since 1975, Spain has suffered 45 heatwaves. During the longest one (2003), 3,166 people died, all of them aged above 65 years, while in Europe, the number of deaths due to extreme temperatures reached 70,000. Temperatures are expected to start decreasing today from west to east, by at least 8 degrees. However, Head of Aemet Ana Casals said this truce will not last long as temperatures are expected to rise again on Sunday, with higher temperatures almost everywhere.

ONE of the most famous Christian pilgrimages in the world is to Santiago de Compostela, and the Galician city is about to hold its biggest festival of the year. Around 30,000 pilgrims a year are registered to visit, although the number is thought to be higher as many do the trip unofficially. Also known as the St James Festival, it is held in the last two weeks of July. Many pilgrims aim to arrive by July 25, St James’s Day. The night before, the highlight of the fortnight for many is held when at midnight crowds

So it is not just visitors from around the world but also from all over Galicia who congregate for the festivities. Modern music, theatre, entertainment and music are combined with traditional religious events with the city’s Old Town being the centre of the cultural activities. July 25 sees a High Mass - usually attended by one of the Spanish Royal Family. The festival finishes on July 31.
In total, 20,500 runners took part in the San Fermin running of the bulls this year. In 2014, two out of every three runners were taking part for the first time in their lives, and some 56 per cent of the participants each day were foreigners.

Huge illegal lottery haul in Malaga MORE than 205,000 lottery tickets with a face value of €350,000 have been confiscated in Malaga in the biggest police operation against illegal lotteries ever carried out in the

Communities suffer as banks fail to pay fees AFTER repossessing homes, many banks avoid paying the community fees force payment of fees. Pastor said this is causing big problems for communities and urbanisations. Many have found funds so low this summer they have had to give up on filling and running swimming pools, lifts and even had to sack community cleaners.
By Eleanor Hawkins COSTA property owners are missing out on services such as lifts and swimming pools due to a legal loophole banks are reported to be using after repossessing homes. A new study on community fee debts in Spain placed Malaga Province at the top for outstanding debts in Andalucia, with a total of €75.6 million left unpaid. Banks and financial institutions ought to be responsible for almost a quarter of this amount. College of Administrators President Fernando Pastor explained that after repossessing properties from owners unable to keep up with mortgages, many banks are managing to avoid paying fees by not changing registration of the property until they sell it on, meaning communities can do nothing to

No end in sight for victims of fire THOSE affected by the great fire of 2012 may have to wait years By Eleanor Hawkins VICTIMS of the great Costa del Sol fire, the most devastating in Malaga Province in more than two decades, continue to despair as a long, dragged-out legal process means they may have to wait another five years for compensation. On the fated afternoon of August 30, 2012, destruction spread as 8,225 hectares of land in Alhaurin el Grande, Coin, Mijas, Marbella, Ojen and Monda went up in flames, with 6,500 people evacuated leaving one dead and two seriously injured. Three years on the size of the case has overwhelmed Coin’s Court Number Three, where proceedings are under way, and legal sources claim at the speed things are going it could take at least another four or five years for compensation to come through.

Guns found after police chase THREE guns were confiscated by the Guardia Civil following a spectacular car chase in the Sotogrande-San Roque area. The officers, who were carrying out routine checks on the A7 motorway, gave chase after a white car left the queue of traffic and sped off. After a four-kilometre race along the wrong side of the motorway the car entered a Sotogrande residential area and the occupants threw out a bag. It was later found to contain two loaded guns and two baseball caps reading ‘Police’. Eventually the three people in the car dumped the vehicle and got away on foot before officers could catch up with them.

Jellyfish invade Costa MARBELLA is seeking a solution
A BRITISH cyclist had a nasty scare near Istan last week when he got lost and suffered heatstroke. The 60-year-old man was reported missing at about 3pm after failing to return from a ride in the countryside and was finally found by Guardia Civil officers more than three hours later. Due to obvious signs of dehydration and fatigue he was immediately taken to a medical centre in San Pedro for treatment, where his wife thanked the officers for saving him and said she had feared for his life due to the extreme heat.
By E Hawkins & M J Fernandez ALMOST 800 people have been stung by jellyfish off Marbella’s beaches in four days. But it is not only Marbella beachgoers who are suffering from the presence of these creatures, practically the entire Costa del Sol is full of them due to easterly winds and high water temperatures. Mijas and Torremolinos are the most affected areas, along with Marbella. Although jellyfish have been spotted regularly during July along Malaga’s coastline, their presence has been intensified during the past week. Marbella’s Aula del Mar marine research centre biologist and co-ordinator, Juan Jesus Martinez, explained that jellyfish had been pushed towards the shore by easterly winds. He said: “They are very primitive creatures which have hardly evolved. They let themselves be carried by the currents.”

November will not be carried out due to budget issues. “Torremolinos will be one of the municipalities of Spain with the highest IBI tax, and we at the council cannot do anything to avoid it,” said Economy and Finance Councillor, Pedro Perez. He then added that the council will contribute with €5.6 million to aid families with IBI payments, 5.6 per cent more than before.
AS a second person was hit by a car just days after a pedestrian died in the San Pedro Boulevard area, residents and business owners have voiced their concern. “Everyone that lives here has been saying it for ages, this was bound to happen. It’s as if the authorities are waiting for more deaths before they do anything,” locals said. The lack of caution on the parts of both pedestrians and drivers has led to concern as to the lack of safety on local streets. But in spite of many complaints to the council the only measure put in place was a 40-kilometre speed limit sign, which drivers ignore. Groups are calling for speed bumps, more surveillance and extra caution as more visitors arrive and the roads get busier.

These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports. Tricia Barr has that special gift of listening that can only come from personal experience.
TRICIA BARR is slightly built with large brown eyes and an infectious smile. When the Euro Weekly News (EWN) asked her about her greatest achievement, she said: “Being a single mum, bringing up two boys by myself.” And this is what motivated this remarkable lady to set up the organisation Guardian Angels, which supports lone parents. Tricia knows all about being a single parent; when her marriage broke up her two boys were very small, aged just four and one. “Being a single parent changes you,” said Tricia: “It is hard work, relentless and sometimes isolating. When I came to Spain seven years ago I began meeting single parents here and recognised in them all the difficulties I had faced as a single mum all those years ago. Within two years I set up Guardian Angels.” In Spain, lone parents have to work hard to survive and for their children to thrive. Some work two or even three jobs to earn enough to keep their families together and in Spain there are hurdles to overcome that are not present elsewhere; the cost of school books, for example, which is a financial nightmare for cashstrapped singles. “The price of school textbooks is astronomical,” said Tricia, “and parents don’t even know which books they have to buy until September so they have little time to try to buy them secondhand or even organise a book share.

The charity’s special events include a Christmas party, a swimming pool day in the summer, usually held at someone’s private home and this year, a day at Safari Aitana where the children can pet and feed the animals that are free to roam.

Pickpockets who hugged arrested GROUP included one man and eight women By Eleanor Hawkins A GROUP of pickpockets who allegedly hugged and kissed victims to distract them while pinching their belongings has been arrested by the National Police force. The group, made up of one man and eight women, is believed to be behind at least
eight thefts in Malaga Province, and stolen items recovered by the police after arrests include a watch valued at €27,000, a mobile phone, and €275 and £285 in cash. Arrests were made in Malaga, Gerona, Vizcaya and Santander and the alleged pickpockets were all Romanian, aged between 20 and 32, the police force reported.
Sticky fingered carer caught out AN ESTEPONA woman has been arrested for allegedly stealing from a home where she was employed as a carer and maid. After starting work caring for an elderly family member at the end of April, her duties were extended to in-
clude domestic tasks, the National Police reported. Yet at the end of June the home owner began to notice items of jewellery and money going missing and reported it to the police, and the employee abruptly resigned. Investigations led to the
discovery of various missing items at a second-hand shop, which said it had bought them from the suspect. The woman was arrested for alleged theft, and the recovered goods returned to their rightful owner.

An English take on flamenco TONY BRYANT has just released his latest book By Community Reporter MALAGA based English author Tony Bryant has just released his latest book - ‘Gitanerias; the essence of flamenco.’ This is the third in a series of books in which the author explains the mysterious art of flamenco, a culture he has become deeply involved in. The former rock drummer has lived in Málaga for more than 20 years, but he spends part of his time in the province of Sevilla and it was here that he became hooked on the orthodox style of flamenco that still thrives in the sleepy villages and towns populated by the Andalucian Gypsies. His first book concerning this art , ‘Flamenco; an Englishman’s Passion,’ was first published by the Museo del Baile Flamenco in Sevilla, and this latest volume, ‘Gitanerias; the essence of flamenco,’ continues a story that tells how an Englishman became so intimately involved with the gypsies and their age-old flamenco tradition. www.flamencoheritage.com www.tonybryant.searchgi.com

Costa expat Joan Davies has died HER life story was published in a biography in 2013 By Eleanor Hawkins JOAN DAVIES, a popular and well-known expatriate figure on the Costa del Sol, has died aged 85. Joan and her husband Gerry moved to the Costa del Sol in 1964 due to Gerr y ’s w o r k w i t h t h e D a i l y Mail media group and later decided to remain in Spain, where they ran a restaurant,
bar and pub before joining forces with Diario Sur in 1984 to create the Sur in English newspaper. Following Gerry’s death in 1995 Joan continued to write and was an active member of the expatriate community, founding Welsh Roots group and acting as honorary president of the Costa Press Club. Her life story was put on paper in
2013 in a biography, Joan Davies: Memories, Musings and More. Joan had expressed a wish to be remembered as “a person who has enjoyed life and never, at least intentionally, hurt anyone.” She will most certainly hold a place in the collective expatriate memory on the Costa for many years to come.

Attraction closure causes complaints KING’S WALKWAY closed due to heat By Eleanor Hawkins A LACK of planning, which led to the Caminito del Rey mountain trail in El Chorro being closed on July 7-8 as a precaution due to extreme heat, has sparked numerous complaints from disappointed visitors.
Some people had flown from Madrid or driven more than 300 kilometres to visit the King’s Walkway, and complained that although forecasters had been announcing temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius for the area all summer, Malaga Provincial Council had failed to prepare for the heat.
DISAPPOINTED: Some visitors had travelled long distances to walk the ‘Caminito del Rey’.
Hi-tech water surveillance TORREMOLINOS has launched a project to get to the bottom of occasional waste spillage off its coasts in an aim to make the town’s beaches even better for locals and visitors. Although marked as excellent by the Ministry of Health in its 2014 Bathing Water Quality Study, every now and then waste has been spotted off the shoreline, which the new council has decided could leave a bad impression and must be halted. Over the next 10 months the municipal waste company, Astosam, in collaboration with Cetaqua Andalucia water research centre and the University of Malaga, will be using the latest technology to analyse real-time images of the sea and follow the path of any waste spillages to detect where they came from. Astosam has been monitoring its network outlets for years to guarantee its infrastructure does not release contaminants into the sea. With this new project, the council reported, Torremolinos aims to continue to innovate and apply the latest technology to its services and environmental protection plans.
Bridging the gap FOLLOWING almost two decades of disagreements and distancing, Torremolinos and Benalmadena Councils are working to bridge the gap beteen them, both figuratively and literally. The mayors of both towns have held a meeting to discuss a number of issues which affect them both, with a road connection between La Leala Norte in Arroyo de la Miel and El Pinillo the main priority. Jose Ortiz, Mayor of Torre-
molinos, later explained that the connection was a long-standing demand from the approximately 2,000 residents in the area, which the two councils aim to meet at last. Studies will now be carried out to see how to build, and fund, the connection, the mayors explained. Ortiz’s counterpart for Benalmadena, Victor Navas, said: “New times are ahead thanks to the great new relationship between the two councils.”

SMILING THROUGH: Russell and Lynn Davies with their son Brendon.
Brendon, a miracle in need of help LOCAL celebrity plans fundraising concert By Community Reporter MORE than 30 years ago, Lynn and Russell Davies moved to Spain from Cardiff, hoping to build a life in the sun with their family. The couple worked hard and faced many challenges and medical problems. They were delighted to eventually hear that Lynn was pregnant with Brendon. Months went by and Brendon was born after a very long, difficult delivery during which he was classed as dead three times, leading Lynn and Russell to prepare themselves for the worst. Through some twist of fate Brendon started to breathe again and to this day many believe him to be a miracle baby. Yet sad news followed as he had suffered
severe brain damage during labour and Lynn and Russell were told he would need care for the rest of his life. Many couples would have crumbled at the news that their son had cerebral palsy and Lennox syndrome (a form of epilepsy). But in Lynn and Russell’s case they are even stronger now than they were 18 years ago when Brendon came into the world and blessed them with his first smile. Over the years the 18year-old boy has endured endless operations including having his legs removed and replaced to fit his hips correctly and one kidney removed. As he has frail bones, Brendon is on a lot of medication and has to make frequent visits to the Costa del Sol Hospital. With little help or equip-
ment, Lynn and Russell struggle on a daily basis to lift their son in and out of the car and are in great need of a hoist and ramp to make the process easier. Although the incredible parents never complain their situation plainly needs resolving in some way. Two years ago some help entered the family’s life in the shape of Antony Wolfson, a famed, professional musician who met them through a mutual friend. Antony was so overwhelmed after meeting Brendon and realising the difficulties the family face that he immediately offered to help, using his musical expertise and contacts. To this end a fundraising concert is planned for next week, details of which can be found on Page 89.

Judicial activity during 2014 By Antonio Flores Lawyer LLM (Essex) Reg. Nº 4712 I.C.A. Málaga E-mail: aflores@lawbird.com Homepage: http://belegal.com/blog-by-antonio-flores www.lawbird.com
WHEN one thinks about litigation in Spain and the time it takes to get a case through the courts, we automatically think in terms of years, not months. And yet we could all be very wrong if we are to believe the
findings of the 2014 report issued by the supervisor for the judiciary, the General Council of Judicial Power (CGPJ). According to report published this year, court cases are taking months rather than years to be resolved. This and other interesting ‘judicial’ data available online (ww.poderjucial.es) can be summed up in the length of my column: 1. Courts issued rulings in the following average time: Civil cases: 7.6 months; Civil appeal cases: 7.5 months; Divorce mutually consented: 1.9 months; Divorce not mutually consented: 9.5 months 2. Foreclosure proceedings are a different story: on average, it took the courts 28 months to finalise these cases. 3. Percentage of rulings that are appealed: Courts of First Instance rulings: 11.7%; Appeal Court rulings: 4.8%. 4. Ratio of court rulings upheld vs reversed on appeal: Upheld: 63.6%; Reversed: 19.5%; Partially reversed: 16.0%. 5. Number of court cases in a year: in all of Spain, last year
just over 8.6 million court cases were filed, around 8.8 million were finalised and just over 1.6 million rulings were passed. Andalucia is the most belligerent regional community in 2014, with 230 court cases per 1,000 inhabitants. The least is La Rioja, with 136 (wine must have had something to do with it!). 6. Number of cases per court: on average 1,669 cases per year. 7. Number of complaints: in 2014, about 16,000 complaints were lodged in relation to the dispensation of justice. Of these, 200 complaints were received in the Law Societies. 8. Compensation granted for courts responsibility for defective operation: in 2014, approximately €6 million were awarded in compensation for defective or dysfunctional dispensation of justice. 9. Money lodged within courts’ bank accounts: during 2014, Santander bank (officially appointed by the Spanish judiciary) had an average balance in its accounts of €3.4 billion.

Greece has to comply SPAIN is only too aware of the fragile state of the Eurozone after accepting a bailout of their banks in 2012. After the Greek referendum returned a NO vote for more austerity, Spain’s Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, has said that Greece needs to undergo reforms to stimulate fiscal growth and propose a realistic plan to pay off the huge debts it owes to the IMF. Spain wants to see Greece remain in the Euro as a Greek exit could affect Spain’s growth.

Spain heads IMF growth prediction

Yorkshire expansion THE popular bedding company Yorkshire Linen has opened a new store after strong sales over recent years. The company is very popular with expatriates as well as with Spanish women.
Property draw criticised THE raffling of property has been condemned by legal experts. The popular concept of selling tickets to win a house can leave both the owner and the purchaser in extreme legal difficulties.

TOUGH BATTLE: Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said Greece had secured debt restructuring.
Relief as bailout agreed EUROZONE ministers give Greece another chance to get back on track By Dilip Kuner A GREEK exit from the Euro has been averted after a bailout deal was struck between Greece and Eurozone leaders. At least that is according to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Speaking after a marathon 17hour bargaining session on Sunday, July 12, that went
through the night, he said: “Grexit has gone.” This news will come as a relief to Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy; with elections coming up the last thing he needed was the uncertainty over the Euro affecting Spain’s economic recovery. The bailout comes at the price of tough new austerity
measures imposed by the EU which were due to be approved by the Greek Parliament on Wednesday, July 15, before any funds were released. The EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimate Greece needs between €82 and €86 billion over the next three years; that is on top
of the €240 billion it has already received. Greece has been in turmoil as its banks have been shut for two weeks with a €60 a day limit on cashpoint withdrawals. The crisis came to a head with a €3 billion loan repayment to the IMF due with no money in the Greek treasury coffers to pay it.
A business plan is a road map
CAREFUL PLANNING: Accurate predictions of income, outgoings and profit are necessary.
Talking shop Mike Walsh Mike Walsh was for 20 years Regional Assessment Manager for the Guild of Master Craftsmen, Britain’s biggest quality assurance body for businesses.

SELLING and marketing are an exact science that work on a formula. Get it wrong and your business could go belly-up. A business plan is a road map. You build your own business’s best route.
It is necessary for you to accurately predict income, outgoings and profit. Most businesses fail due to their being over-optimistic about money coming in whilst underestimating outgoings. I was 21 when I heard a true story concerning a Woolworth’s buyer. A one-man business approached her with his lathe-turned wooden dolls at a price she couldn’t refuse. She wouldn’t order unless the seller doubled his prices. The doll-maker scratched his head until she explained: “The dolls will be
popular. If I buy at your price you will not have enough profit to invest in the tools needed to increase production. My customers will be disappointed when you cannot meet demand. If I pay you double, you can buy tools and hire extra workers to produce the dolls more quickly.” Charge too much for your service and you will lose custom, charge too little and your community loses your service. Before setting up a business make a thorough analysis of the com-
munity’s businesses and its trade. Is there a need for your service or are you depleting what little potential it has? The outgoings are likely to be double what you first thought. Enquire as to every cost, investment and regular outlay. The other hard bit is to figure out your income. You are going to need X number of customers per month, spending X amount. This should be sufficient to cover your outgoings and leave you with a profit.
THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) has placed Spain at the head of growth amongst advanced economies in the Eurozone, with a growth forecast of 3.1 per cent for 2015 and 2.5 per cent for 2016. In its revised Global Economy Outlook, the IMF has maintained its previsions for growth of 1.7 per cent up until the end of this year and 1.5 per cent for next year in the Eurozone, where in general it believes recovery to be under way. Spain’s growth appears clear to the IMF, which has placed it amongst the countries in the world with the highest growth margin. In fact, it even beats the US (expected to grow 2.5 per cent in 2015) and the UK (2.4 per cent). On a global level, the IMF has reduced its growth forecast to 3.3 per cent for 2015, two points less than the predictions from April, while those for 2016 remain at 3.8 per cent.
Hotel boom THE resurgence of Spain’s economy is having a dramatic effect on the hotel and tourism sector. Investment from Britain, the US, Asia, Russia and the Middle East is driving a surge in hotel and tourism. CBRE, the financial advisors, have predicted that 2015 will be a boom year, outstripping the €1.6 billion invested in the sector in 2006. The rising trend can be attributed to many factors. The strong sterling exchange rate is one reason for investment from Britain. Russian investors who want to move their assets abroad are finding the Spanish climate attractive. Middle Eastern speculators who are looking for new markets within Europe are finding the glut of Spanish property and tourist businesses available suits their needs, and Asia is flexing its new-found financial muscle. Regardless of where the funds come from it is a well-needed boost to the Spanish economy.

Securing your holidays with adequate travel insurance cover Loose change Jane Plunkett A look at finance for females jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
AT six months pregnant and just about to set off on a trip around Europe for one month, the idea of travel insurance popped into my head. I am usually quick to tick the “no I don’t want insurance” button on airline websites or similar such situations - it’s just an extra cost, isn’t it? But suddenly with a little baby growing inside me I have found myself to be less of a risk taker. So if like me travel insurance sounds like a wise move for your holidays this summer what should we look out for? Well, like everything that is sold to us, quality (of cover) can vary a lot, so it’s best to do some research. Travel insurance can be cheap, but remember that cheap doesn’t necessarily mean worthwhile, as the cover might

be inadequate. An easy way to shop around is to look on price comparison websites, which give you a range of quotes to choose from. Recent tragic events in Tunisia are an example of how a good policy could really come in handy in an unforeseen situation. A decent policy should take care of any unexpected medical bills and ensure that you can get home in an emergency. Medical cover in case of an accident is probably the most sought after insurance holidaymakers are concerned about. But whether you are buying insurance or not, always be sure to travel with a European Health Insurance Card, which is known as the Tarjeta Sanitaria Europea (TSE) here in Spain. It can be applied for at your local social security office. This card provides you with access to free medical treatment in EU countries. Do your homework and have a good trip!

OTHERS THINK IT WHAT a wonderful budget result for decent hard-working citizens and what a glorious comeuppance for the layabouts, who wheedle, sponge, and indeed consider it their right to exist on taxpayers’ money! After all the propaganda and bribes the leftwing politicians have been using to buy these idlers votes for years, the benefit wastes of space have at last received the truth, namely that they are deluded, despised and downright hated by the majority of British citizens. Ironically, it was probably the left-leaning Channel 4 who, by somehow trying to glamorise these people in the Benefit Street documentaries, attracted a whole deluge of Cameron votes from Labour and Liberal supporters appalled that the likes of ‘White Dee’ and her bunch of apparent wasters could possibly be able to continue their worthless existence. The sheer arrogance and blatant work-shy attitude of these social misfits, was enough to
WORK-SHY: Some even consider having to sign on a chore. The benefit wastes of space have at last received the truth, namely that they are despised by the majority of Britons
change anyone’s political loyalties. I would actually like to go even further. Amongst other measures, I would bring in compulsory sterilisation for the single mothers churning out children by unknown fathers purely to receive child benefits.
Pictures of these self-righteous women, surrounded by Lord knows how many kids, is an affront to responsible parents who often restrict their families, purely because they know their income cannot support more offspring, even if they would perhaps enjoy a larger family. Don’t misunderstand me, I am not against a fair benefit system for those genuinely in need. What I am opposed to are those who adopt Giros and handouts as a lifestyle. Like those who think it clever to fall out of bed in the early afternoon, and consider signing on a chore. I’d like to be one of the undoubtedly many flies on their wall, when they wake up one morning and realise that in order to feed themselves and their families they will actually need to get a job. Ain’t life suddenly grand? Let’s hope we don’t have to wait too long. Beware of Greeks bearing nothing. Practically a whole nation looking for even more handouts. Also the beginning of the end of yet another German dream of a United Europe - with them at the helm. Great. Keep the faith, Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Corner Paid Inheritance Tax in Spain? You may be due a refund... CITIZENS who are non-resident and have paid inheritance tax in the past four years can now demand a refund
ceive an inheritance abroad should pay the State and can claim the difference between the amounts of tax they were charged and the amounts they would have been charged in their residence Autonomic Community. If you have paid inheritance tax in Spain within the last four years, and the inheritor or the individual who passed away were non-residents in Spain, we can help you recover almost 100 per cent of the taxes you have paid, via our legal partners.

THE European Court of Justice decreed on September 3, 2014 that Spain is contravening European Union law because it treats residents and non-residents differently with regard to tax on inheritance and donations. The ruling means that non-residents who have inherited assets in Spain or have received them as a donation in the past are able to apply for a refund of the amount they were overcharged in tax. There are two claiming situations: Citizens who are non-resident and who have paid inheritance or donation tax during the past four years can now demand a refund of the difference between the amount of tax they were charged by the State and the amount they would have been charged if the relevant Autonomic Community tax reduction had been applied. Citizens with residence in Spain who re-

Good, bad and the deceitful: fancy doing a Reggie Perrin like my ex-boss? Nora Johnson

THE recent ceremonies marking the 10th anniversary of the July 7 London bomb attacks brought back both good and bad memories of the atrocity that destroyed lives and families. Stories about acts of selfless heroism performed by emergency workers and members of the public alike. My cousin was in London that day for an interview, staying at a Russell Square hotel, and I knew she’d be on a train or at the station or catching a bus at nearby Tavistock Square. It was a frantic few hours waiting for news, but once that relief was there, my mind turned to sheer, bloody-minded anger which, frankly, hasn’t really stopped. Fortunately for us, the outcome was good. But I’ll always feel for those for whom it wasn’t. I’d been in the vicinity of quite a few IRA London bombings in the 90s myself, so reading again about the stoical calm of Londoners
REGGIE PERRIN STYLE: Reports suggested ‘death’ might be ‘premature.’ on 7/7 filled me with pride - until I came across another story that reminded me of the unpleasant things that terror brings in its wake: Britain can’t deport an al-Qaeda preacher who praised 7/7 - and is linked to the Tunisian beach killings. Other stories not infrequently linked to
times of turmoil involve those who, for whatever reason (financial/family/personal) disappear and resurface with a new identity. My psychological suspense thriller, Soul Stealer, tells the story of one such identity change during 7/7. And the chilling, lifechanging consequences for those left behind
searching for the truth behind subterfuge and murder. Based on my own journalistic experiences, Soul Stealer not only delves into the secretive, shadowy world of identity theft, betrayal and revenge but also mirrors real-life events. Years ago, I worked for David Elias, an internationally successful businessman, and attended lavish parties on his private yacht (papped and ending up in Tatler!). I later learned he’d died in the Far East. I felt sad but, that was that - or, so I thought. Next I read the Serious Fraud Office was investigating after reports of his Reggie-Perrinstyle ‘death’ might be ‘premature’ following ‘inconsistencies’ in the death certificate. It’s also claimed by creditors (he allegedly owes £100m) he’s undergone cosmetic surgery to re-invent himself: a new identity in a new life wherever that may be. (And no, CrimeStoppers, I’ve no idea where he is either!) Nora Johnson’s thrillers ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.com) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.89;£0.79) and iBookstore.

EU should wise up and beware of the Greeks bearing gifts SO when are the EU going to wise up and beware of Greeks bearing gifts? How many times are the people of the EU going to have to bail out a nation that is obviously laughing all the way to the bank, literally! Greece is a never ending hole that the European government has just committed itself to throwing money into indefinitely, instead of cutting their losses and running when they had the chance. They were loaned money when they joined, failed to pay it back, bailed out with more, and failed to honour that agreement as well. Now the EU has fallen for their promises a third time. Honestly… how stupid do you have to be? Let’s put this into perspective… If a single parent without a job or prospects managed by some miracle to get a 100€ bank loan because she needed food, and then couldn’t pay it back, then went back to the bank and said “I’ll pay it back over six months if you give me another 100€ today,” then failed to pay that back. But then refused to speak about it until the bank gave them another 100€, what do you think the bank would say… if they would say yes, I want to know the name of that bank, I’ll open an account tomorrow. And no! I wouldn’t pay it back either. Disgusted, Estapona.
To Leapy Lee COME off it, where on earth do you get the info that Jews and Arabs are the biggest investors in the world money markets? Statement of fact : I think China has passed under your radar! Have you any statistics to show Jewish investment in say, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Barclays, HSBC or even Santander (number 20 in the list of top banks). Look, you may have a Jewish granny, but your comments about Jews and Arabs are as fatuous as saying that God is an Englishman. And we all know that really She is an English woman! Now I really must leave you at this point to count up my money bags! Regards, sent in via email from elliskorn

barbaric? I’ve never been to a bullfight and I don’t like them, but it’s a Spanish tradition. We’ve heard from a reliable source, that from when the bull enters the ring to its demise, it’s no longer than 15 minutes. At least the bull has a chance against one man. What chance does the fox have against a pack of dogs tearing it to pieces, when it is exhausted? Hopefully the fox hunting MPs won’t win, although I can’t imagine that happening. Come on you protestors, get your own house in order! Jenny Hollowell, via email
I don’t agree
My wife and I have just come back from Barcelona and read the letters page. We love John Marshall’s photo of Sevilla and intend on going there in August. In the meanwhile, I thought you might like one I took of Gaudi world in Barcelona Park. Paul & Margaret Somers, Loma Cabrera, Almeria.
Mobility cover I HAVE been unable to get third party insurance for my mobility scooter and have been told that the original supplier based in London has now stopped insurance cover in Spain. Do any readers know of an insurance company in Spain who still cover please? Liz R Jones, Playamar, Torremolinos.
Barking dogs I WAS HORRIFIED to read David the Dog Man’s article about the noise from barking dogs and concluding that people can drug their dogs to stop it. Most of the readers of your paper will be native English or British and presumably like me will never have come across this problem before coming to Spain, so why is Spain different? The article focuses on the terrible noise we all have to put up with, mostly at night for some reason and not the
suffering of the dogs, and they are suffering because dogs as we all know do not normally bark incessantly for no reason. Is it simply separation anxiety or is it lack of consideration, or even abuse? Why is it mostly at night? How terrible for ‘David the Dogman’ who cares for animals to suggest people drug their animals. Would you suggest drugging a child that cries all night?? No of course you wouldn’t you would find out the reason and stop it! Beverley Saunders, by email In reply David writes: How on earth can you be horrified to read that drugs recommended by a vet combined with a behaviourist to assist dogs and cats and other animals is uncaring. My article clearly states:‘Dogs that bark day and night’ it is not only at night, as you write. Clomicalm are used as part of a comprehensive behavioural management programme to treat separation anxiety in dogs and other animals. Inappropriate barking or destructive behaviour, as well as inappropriate elimi-
nation (urination or defecation) may be alleviated by the use of Clomicalm in conjunction with behaviour modification. Separation anxiety is a complex behaviour disorder displayed when the owner leaves the dog. Beverley with respect I suggest you re-read my article which clearly states pet owners with problems regarding continual barking, destruction or separation anxiety should refer to a vet who ‘might’ consider Clomicalm further stating that this drug should be used in conjunction with behavioural therapy. I reiterate one must take advice from a vet since this drug is only on prescription. Your comment regarding comparing dogs with children does not come into the equation.
Bulls v foxes WE see the English MPs are to vote to continue fox hunting with dogs again. Where are all the people who complain about Spanish bullfighting, as being
LEAPY, I cannot agree with your assertion that Cliff should be shouting his innocence, everybody handles such things differently. You may well do that, but Cliff has to a great extent withdrawn from society for a good many years and I don’t believe it is in his nature to do as you suggest. I don’t believe for one minute all these allegations against him, they are just made by people who are maybe seeking compensation, or want to make a name for themselves. One has already been told by the police to forget it. It has all come to light since the allegations against Jimmy Savile so why not jump on the bandwagon? If these people are so incensed about ‘what happened to them’ why have they waited 40 years to come forward? The trouble is, these days many people are looking at any way to make a few bucks and they don’t care what damage they do to a person’s reputation. It is shameful, and a good indication of the type of society we are living in these days! Roy Peters, via website

YOUR STARS LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a wellwisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves. Get that expert even if it costs a few pennies. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has

CANCER
(June 22 - July 23)
A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take? If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy? On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you still be happy? Keep things simple. You know where you are. opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. Enjoy the feeling, the praise and the satisfaction.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny. They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Yours is a big ship. You are able to take a lot on board but you don’t have to. In this special week, when you see things so clearly, be selective. Allow into your life only that which is valuable and worthwhile. This is not selfishness, it is providing a source of inspiration for the present and the future.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone needs to learn to stand on their own two feet. It isn’t you, but it’s close. Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done. You may break into a sweat this week and it won’t suit your nerves, but you’ll get through.

A secret committee hidden in the darkest place of society is attempting to further its evil agenda. Its members are granted with absolute protection and privileges, considered elites. But everything changes when a four-second video is captured and sent to DC, sparking a reaction from the director of CARE International, an organisation devoted to helping people in need. The director receives devastating news: one of the organisation’s hospitals in Congo has been annihilated and he wants to find out why. Counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath, together with his team, is asked to take on the case, one of the most dangerous of his career as he will have to infiltrate the site and bring back answers. However, what they find out is more unsettling than they ever expected, an international scheme of conspiracy.

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Penalty points celebrate birthday 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.
DISTRACTIONS: Points are deducted for using a mobile phone at the wheel. IT has been nine years since Spain’s driver penalty points system for traffic offences came in to force. Unlike in the UK where points are added for committing offences, in Spain, drivers are allocated points with their licence which are taken away if found guilty of an offence. According to data released by the DGT, 73 per cent of all Spanish drivers still have their full quota of points intact, but 7 million drivers have been penalised. Since the launch of the system 35.5 million points have been removed and a total of 203,283 drivers lost their licence on account of losing all their points; 183,342 were men and 19,940 were women. Speeding is the most likely cause for los-
ing points. Last year alone, there were 640,996 speed related infractions and its not the younger generation who are the worst offenders, with over half being aged between 35 and 54, compared to 20 per cent of the younger drivers. Cases of driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs have risen in the last nine years from 94,027 infractions in the first year to 119,345 in 2014 with the highest peak recorded in 2011 with 141,170. More than 400,000 points have been lost in the last year alone for drivers being distracted, for example, by using a mobile phone at the wheel. However, there has been a decline in the number of offences for not wearing a seatbelt or child restraint.

A triumph for transgender rights AMENDMENT to Equal Opportunities Act published
By Carol Irving AFTER a campaign by The Rock’s Equality Rights Group (ERG) and dialogue with the Gibraltar Government, legislation has been introduced to protect transgender individuals against discrimination. The Gibraltar Government has published the Equal opportunities Act 2006 (Amendment) Regulations 2015, after the EU’s legal reinterpretation of EU Directives requirements. This amendment to the
Equal Opportunities Act extends existing rights which prevent gender discrimination in employment to also include gender discrimination which is due to an individual’s gender reassignment. Gender reassignment is defined as “a process for the purpose of reassigning a person’s sex by changing physiological or other attributes of sex” and the new law prohibits discrimination for work absences that are due to undergoing gender reassignment.
The law also aims to protect against general discrimination of transgender individuals, something which will be welcomed by the Equality Rights Group who have been campaigning for this issue in the Gibraltar community. On the question of the necessity of transgender rights, ERG Chairman, Felix Alvarez, pointed out: “Its not just a question of numbers, but of fairness, kindness and justice.”
Wave power plant set for end of the year A WAVE energy plant is due to be finished in Gibraltar by the end of the year. The wave farm will comprise eight second-generation floaters on a pier and is expected to generate about 15 per cent of Gibraltar’s energy consumption and help meet its renewable energy targets by 2020. Despite a need for new, renewable sources of energy, wave power has not taken off compared to other sources like solar and wind power. According to Yale University, this is mainly due to a lack of research and investment. While the logistics of establishing wave power installations are more difficult, simply because

ONCE again Wimbledon has come and gone, and by now we will have seen the latest champions parading around Centre Court, displaying their silverware. It’s all about the prestige of winning these trophies the players assure us, but with £1.88 million going to both the men’s and ladies’ winning finalists, I reckon the cash just might be a slight consideration too. I have always been a Wimbledon fan. Taking time off work in my teens to watch the games on TV, I simply could not get enough of watching the giants of the game on our less than giant 14 inch screen telly.

AS we set out for the Denia Bull Run I put my wife’s mind at rest. Like me, she abhors animal cruelty. I had learned that these animals come to no harm and afterwards are returned to their pastures. I can write only as an observer and reflect. We can’t have it both ways. Young people are mocked for being hooked on an inactive lifestyle. The youngsters who filled Denia’s arena and stands were as full of spirits as you could wish them to be. Whether we approve of their activities or not, one can respect their courage. The teased bulls came to no harm. The same cannot be said for the youngsters. Young men were outpaced, tossed into the air and injured; a young girl

TEMPERATURE: Hotting up.
Taking care in the heat AS welcome as the Spanish sunshine is, soaring temperatures can seriously affect our health and this week’s heat wave continues unabated, bringing with it grave dangers if we don’t pay heed to our environment and take necessary precautions. It sounds like common sense, but setting out on a journey without making sure our vehicle is in good condition, is risky and foolish. Over-heating engines are a serious danger, so water needs to be checked, and it’s also wise to check your tyres. Keeping ourselves, our children and pets rehydrated is essential, drinking water especially on long journeys, with young children and the elderly particularly vulnerable. Leaving pets locked up in cars in this weather could also be fatal, and we have to be fully aware of the harmful effects of the sun, whether we are in a car, at home or on the beach. Small animals and children absorb the heat more and need to be protected from harmful rays which cannot only burn but can cause heatstroke. Some of the signs of heatstroke include high body temperature, altered mental state, flushed skin, rapid breathing, racing heart rate, headache, vomiting or exhaustion. Be on the lookout for the signs of heat-stroke in your loved ones, keep them cool with a wet sponge on the skin or ice packs, keep them in shade, and if any doubt, seek urgent medical advice. So, when out and about this week, don’t get caught out, in different circumstances, sunshine can be heaven… or hell.

Drink water to lose weight IN this new column EWN personal trainer FitFoxy is going to give tips on how to stay in top condition…
IT can relieve stress and has a range of health benefits By Staff Reporter OVER the centuries the expression “music soothes a savage breast” has been retained to refer to the ability of soothing music to deal with nervous or aggressive behaviour. This, however, is not the only benefit it provides. Studies have shown many positive effects that music can have on improving our physical and emotional state. Relaxation Listening to music triggers reactions in our brains that have a direct effect on our mood and is able to reduce our body’s levels of cortisol, a hormone related to stress and anxiety. Fights pain Several studies have shown the ability of music to reduce chronic pain caused by diseases such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. This is one of the reasons why some hospitals offer the possibility of going to music therapy for patients who suffer pain. According to
Higher tobacco tax call THE World Health Organisation (WHO) has called for higher taxes on tobacco and its derivatives, to reduce the number of deaths caused by their addiction and generate funds for public health systems. Only 33 countries have set taxes that account for 75 per cent of the price of a pack of cigarettes. This is the amount of tax recommended by the organisation, who said it was one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce the consumption of harmful products, while public revenues are generated.
research, music serves as a distraction and causes the body to release endorphins that act as natural painkillers. Lowers blood pressure Listening to relaxing music for at least 30 minutes a day causes our blood pressure to reduce, improving blood circulation and therefore heart health. Brain stimulation Medical research has revealed that listening to music or playing an instrument improves parts of the brain which help learning and information retention. Listening to music can also improve concentration and creativity. Promotes sleep Maybe not rock or pop music, but listening to gentle, relaxing music can help achieve truly restful sleep.
STRESS RELIEF: Listening to music reduces cortisol.
ESSENTIAL: Drinking water for weight-loss.
FitFoxy Looking Good, Staying Trim
AS a Personal Trainer you would expect that I would be consuming water at every opportunity. WRONG! I’ll freely admit that I can’t stand the stuff unless mixed with a teabag or coffee. But, I am aware of how important water is, especially when I am training clients to lose excess weight. Exercise and diet go hand and hand if you hope to achieve successful weight control, but understanding exactly how your body works to lose excess body fat is crucial. The kidneys cannot function properly without water, when the kidneys do not function
100 per cent the liver reluctantly takes over. The primary function of the liver is to convert fat to energy, but if it is busy doing the kidneys’ work, how can it convert fat as efficiently as it should to energy? Therefore, your water consumption plays a huge role in both fitness and weight-loss goals and your ongoing future health. • Aim to drink at least three litres of water a day. • If you struggle to drink plain water, add a small amount of no added sugar cordial. FitFoxy Tip: If you are in for a heavy partying weekend, think about consuming a glass of water after each alcoholic drink. Alcohol is extremely dehydrating and that glass of water may just help you to avoid a very sore head in the morning.

Whiplash: what are the symptoms? A JOLT to the neck can have immediate, short-term and long-term implications
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com A FEW years ago I was involved in a car accident; another driver didn’t see the red light and rear-ended me. I became part of a growing statistic, a whiplash victim. Immediate and short-term symptoms • Stiffness and tenderness in the neck and upper back • Headaches • Dizziness • Pain into shoulders and arms • Difficulty turning your head Early treatment The quicker you start treatment, the better. Use an ice pack immediately to reduce muscle spasms, tissue swelling and internal bruising.
COMMON CAUSE: Getting rear-ended while driving. Common causes of whiplash • 10mph (16 kmph) or less rear-end car accident is the most common cause • Falls injuring elbow/wrist/shoulder • Contact sports • Assault or abuse
Long-term symptoms With quick, correct treatment the neck pain associated with whiplash decreases rapidly. But headaches, pain in the arms and upper spine can continue. Whiplash (or other neck/cervical
spine issues) can have an impact on: • Digestive issues • Immune compromise • Pain in other areas of the spine • Cognitive ability • Anxiety/depression
• Breathing issues • Tinnitus • Migraines As well as many more. Because every nerve in the body runs through your neck, the damage caused by whiplash can be longerlasting and have a much greater effect than “just” neck pain Get a good, clinical assessment as soon as possible. X-rays only give information about the bones and their location so get a thorough assessment to understand what, if any, investigations you need. The jolting motion of whiplash also stretches the ligaments which support the neck, making the neck more unstable and increasing the chance of further injury. So please ensure that treatment is gentle (no cracking and snapping!) to prevent any further damage to these tissues. For more information please call 952 883 151 or go to www.TheBody worksClinic.com/blog
Steak and ice cream for stamina A NUTRIENT found in steak and ice cream could improve the stamina of pensioners and give them an energy boost. Steak and ice cream, along with mince, milk and cheese, contain high amounts of carnitine, which showed energy boosting benefits in a series of tests. Scientists in the USA carried out experiments on mice which
showed carnitine helped their muscles work more efficiently and gave them more stamina. The researchers believe that if the elderly were given more carnitine it would make exercise easier and more comfortable for them and therefore improve the quality of their life.
New nose ring could prevent snoring A SMALL nose ring-type device has been created to help suffers of sleep apnoea. The device pumps air into the nose continuously throughout the night to keep the air-
ways open and prevent snoring. Sleep apnoea is a disorder where the tissues in the throat collapse repeatedly during the night, blocking airways for up to 10 seconds at a time, causing loud snoring. But it can cause the sufferer to temporarily stop breathing, depriving the body of oxygen which can lead to other problems like high blood pressure. It is a condition known to affect thousands. Standard treatment is a face mask that keeps the airways open during sleep but many people find it uncomfortable. It is hoped the new device, called Airling, will be more popular.

Ways to ward off mosquitoes MOST species are attracted to bacteria and sweat
NATURAL REPELLENT: Lemon eucalyptus oil. THERE are some natural options to protect you from being eaten alive by that annoying little insect, the mosquito. Although there are different species, most are attracted to bacteria and sweat and some are also in search of carbon dioxide and certain
odours. One remedy that has been used since the 1940s is lemon eucalyptus oil and you can create your own easily. Mosquitoes seem to steer clear of citrus based products, and if you mix one part lemon eucalyptus oil with 10 parts sunflower oil or witch hazel it can work well as a re-
pellent. Thyme oil is another deterrent and it is one of the most effective oils for providing protection. You can mix the thyme oil with water to create a spray. If you put five drops of the oil to every teaspoon of water it is noted by previous studies to give over 90 per cent protection.

Sumptuous scrubs pamper skin SEARCHING through any kitchen along the Costa del Sol will likely yield all the ingredients necessary for a decadent home spa experience – without breaking the bank! Many commercial beauty products can be exorbitantly expensive. In contrast, most natural remedies call for common, inexpensive and easily accessible ingredients, leaving skin at its healthiest: soft, smooth and deliciously fragrant. For exceptionally smooth skin, start with a homemade exfoliating scrub. Scour the pantry for gritty substances – think brown sugar or sea salt – and then mix with a rich oil, such as coconut, olive or avocado. A simple scrub made of brown sugar and coconut oil will leave skin fragrant and sweet, just begging to be nibbled upon!

Café de Ronda is acclaimed by clients as being simply the best FOR people who enjoy quality food and that ‘extra special something’ CAFÉ DE RONDA was established in 2011 by owner Douglas Goullet. He decided to keep the café’s original name as the place was already popular. He also kept the historic feel of the previous establishment but applied a modern twist to the décor. Douglas is a self-professed food lover who enjoys quality food and always tries to bring that ‘extra special something’ to all the dishes on the menu. They offer the finest English breakfast on the Costa del Sol, akin to those found at five star restaurants in London. The Eggs Benedict served are exquisite, plus the Irish sausages are of the highest quality and freshness. Wholemeal croissants, covered in cereals at the Café de Ronda are a real customer favourite. Coffee is made to perfection, with a professional Italian coffee machine, served with various milk options. All staff at Café de Ronda have been tutored on making the perfect coffee using the finest Illy Coffee. The Number One dish is served at lunch in partnership with Relais de Paris.
CAFÉ DE RONDA: With a modern twist to the decor. Serving the best quality steak covered just perfectly with ‘Relais de Paris sauce,’ the most popular sauce in France. Made with 21 different ingredients, the sauce is a truly heavenly experience. The moment you cut into the tender steak covered with the delicious ‘Relais de Paris sauce,’ it will play with your taste buds in the most delightful way.
The dish is served with crunchy chips and a fresh green salad. Acclaimed by many clients, lamb served with ‘patatas a la pobre,’ (poorwomans’ potatoes; a traditional Spanish potato dish), is the best on the coast. It is the best comfort food you will find. Then end your meal with home-made mouth-watering desserts including key lime pie or a fresh
strawberry tart. Café de Ronda constantly brings into their menu fresh seasonal food, including fresh fish like sea bream or gilthead. As a wine connoisseur, every two or three months Douglas contacts his wine distributors for the best wines under €10 per bottle, so that Café de Ronda offers quality but affordable wine that tastes good. He always purchases wines with the highest ‘Robert Parkers ratings’ (the independent consumer’s guide to fine wines). Offering free WiFi and excellent service, you will not want to leave.

Valparaiso Restaurant host dance spectacular PERFORMED by Semen Khrzhanovskiy and Vitalina Bunina
SANDRO MORELLI: Owner of Villa Tiberio.
A huge thank you to Sandro at Villa Tiberio LAST month the annual Summer Charity Ball for Children with Cancer UK was hosted by Sandro Morelli, the owner of the picturesque Villa Tiberio Restaurant, Marbella. The event was organised by Caroline Randerson who had arranged for an array of celebrities to perform on the night, the compere for the evening was TV star Simon Greenall . Over 200 guests attended the spectacular show that carried on well into the
early hours and the money raised was an incredible â‚Ź23,000. This was the eighth annual function for the cause and up to date the grand total raised is a staggering â‚Ź273,529. A report shows that almost 4,000 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK, that is 10 every day. Since events such as these at Villa Tiberio, the survival rate of the children has improved enormously over the past few decades, and the mon-
ey raised continues to help fight many more cases. The Chief Executive of the Children with Cancer UK Charity, wrote a letter to personally thank Sandro Morelli for his continued support and she expressed how enormously grateful she was. The Euro Weekly News would also like to congratulate both the Children with Cancer Charity and Sandro for their united efforts to help better the lives of young children.
ON Thursday July 9, Valparaiso Restaurant on Mijas Road was the perfect setting for an incredible show in which Semen Khrzhanovskiy and Vitalina Bunina took to the floor to give the diners an exquisite performance. The four times world champions have been dancing together since 2007 when their first competition was held in Moscow, Russia. They performed their own spectacular presentation of Latin Dance and have since then been champions in Germany 16 times, and in Austria 12 times, and have celebrated being world champions over and over again. They also won the Galex Junior 10 World Championship in Spain in October 2014. Raffaele & Vittorio Morelli, owners of Valparaiso Restaurant, are renowned for delivering excellent food and first class quality entertainment and this event was an evening that exceeded all expectations. The two Russian dance world champions gave a breathtaking performance that had the audience wide eyed and mesmerised by their
grace and elegance as they flitted across the dance floor effortlessly. They both began to dance at the age of five, but now at the age of 17 it is plainly obvious that when they danced together for the first time eight years ago that it was the beginning of something big. In-between their many costume changes the young flamenco dancer, Iryne gave a fantastic performance, showing her skills on the dance floor. Vitalina and Semen are busy touring, so their performance at Valparaiso was a rare treat as their stay in Spain was only for two weeks. The EWN would like to thank Raffaele and Vittorio for yet another great evening of class entertainment and quality food. VITALINA and SEMEN: A rare treat for Spain. PHOTO BY RAFEALLE; VITA SEMEN

How to persuade a cat used to being outside to stay in the house TRYING to keep an outdoor cat indoors can be a mammoth task but there are steps you can take out and seek a mate. This will result in a calmer, friendlier cat. • Playtime: schedule playtimes for when your cat would normally be outside. This will distract it from its normal routine and establish another, safer routine. • Window seat: be sure your cat has a view of the outdoors and a sunny place to lie. Cats like to watch birds, so putting a bird feeder outside the window is likely to make it a favourite spot for your cat. • Scavenger hunt: give your cat a game to play by hiding bits of dry food around the house. Hide the food in paper bags, boxes and behind open doors. This will be good exercise and keep it busy so it doesn’t think of going outside. This is especially good to do right before the family leaves the house for the day. • Attention: try to give your cat extra love and attention during this difficult transition period.

vIF your cat was originally a stray, or previously an outdoor cat, and you plan to keep it inside from now on, then there are some things that may help you achieve this mammoth task. Here are a few suggestions to help make the transition easier on both of you. After all, it is not easy for the animal to just switch to not going outside. • Spay or neuter: spaying or neutering will rid your cat of those hormonal urges to go
ATTENTION: Give your cat extra love during this transition period.
Kennel owner seeks sitters for her own furry family To find a pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on +44 (0)1865521508 SANDRA first opened her kennels shortly after moving to Spain 14 years ago. She and her husband had emigrated after a wonderful holiday in the sun. They both decided after retirement they didn’t want to return to Eng-
land. And where she and her husband had bought their home there was no pet-care solution available, so she created one. Dogs have always been central to home life, and their welfare means everything to Sandra. Within a short space of time of launching the kennels she had a regular list of British clients and their dogs lining up for pet-care in the holidays. Now after years of running the kennels at her home in Spain, Sandra and her husband no longer take in other dogs when they are planning to go away themselves. Instead Sandra is looking for an at home solution with pet-
sitters who can move into her home to care for her fur family in the home. She came across House SitMatch, the online network, by first reading one of these articles. She called us and said it sounded like we suited her current needs perfectly. We were thrilled! It’s easy to set up an online account with HouseSitMatch. com as a pet and home-owner. And if you want we can talk you through the process. We have a representative on our Livechat tool during UK working hours. Why not try us out now… See contact details above.

How to test if your pool is leaking QUITE often the loss of water is caused by evaporation rather than by a leak, Splash Pools Mijas can give you the answer MANY people call Splash Pools Mijas during the hot weather thinking their pool has a leak. More often than not the loss is caused by evaporation - it is quite surprising how much is lost this way. A simple way to check this out is to fill a bucket of water and mark the level then mark the level of water in the pool at the same time. Make sure that both are not disturbed for the next few days. Then look at the levels - if the pool and bucket loss are the same the loss will be from evaporation. If the pool has gone down a lot more than the bucket then you will need to let the water level drop until it stops… this will save time on leak detection and often pinpoints where the leak is. Splash Pools Mijas have professional leak detecting equip-
tested in an hour, larger pools will often take longer as there are more pipes etc. to test. Once the test has been made Splash Pools Mijas will write up a report of what has been found and the cost for repairs. For more information call Splash Pools 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday on 952 591 053 or visit their website www.splashpools.es. The shop is at the entrance to Doña Pilar, just below the restaurant Valparaiso on the Carretera de Mijas. Easy parking is available in front of the shop.

Growing veg in builders buckets THERE are many benefits to growing vegetables in large tubs in the garden Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
IN theory a few vegetables as well as herbs can be grown in pots, but what we normally regards as pots are not very successful in the summer in Spanish gardens once temperatures rise above 20 degrees. Today and for the past few days our temperature in the shade hovers around 37 degrees but vegetables, if watered every other day, are growing well in black builders buckets of 55 centimetres diameter as shown in the photograph and of 65 centimetres elsewhere in semishaded corners of the garden. They include red and crinkly green lettuces, rocket, Swiss chard, purslane, carrots, cabbages, cauliflowers, stevia, cumin, horse radish, climbing yard long and butter beans, dwarf beans, tomatoes, nasturtiums for edible leaves flowers and seed pods, several types of
peppers and aubergines, courgettes, onions plus leeks producing seed for autumn sowing. Based on our now 12 years of experimenting with large tub growing along the lines of the concept of a ‘10-tub vegetable garden’ launched in our book ‘Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain’ there are many benefits as described below.
Proven benefits 1. Small space required. 2. High yield per square metre. 3. Speedy harvesting. 4. Relatively inexpensive. 5. Little waste as number of plants controlled by space. 6. Co-located salads - all the year round. 7. Accommodate small and expansive plants. 8. No space for weeds - if one plants close to give shade to roots. 9. Easy to use mutual mulching- for instance lettuces around aubergines.
10. Easy soil enrichment. 11. Low water wastage. 12. Circular support frames for tomatoes, peppers and beans etc for strength. 13. Rare insect and fungi at-
tacks - no major area of vulnerable crops. 14. Companion plant - using beneficial herbs and vegetables. 15. Just grow what you need - easy for children.
16. Crop rotation possible by rotating between buckets. Yes this expanded small scale vegetable growing really does work and not only in gardens, but also in small patios
and on apartment terraces. So give it a go by starting with just two or three buckets of closely planted salad plants. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com

WHILE hotels and guest houses are still the number one choice for tourists to stay in, the private rental market is getting ever more popular. For people looking to buy a home and let it out to holidaymakers it is good news that 14 per cent of tourists visiting Spain last year (3.7 million) stayed in private houses and villas. Those tourists spent more than €2.68 billion with around €900 million of that going on accommodation expenses. The rest went on spending money.

Tourism boost for property as rentals are preferred choice These figures have come from a study by Esade along with the Spanish Federation of Associations of Touristic Housing and Apartments (Fevitur) plus Salvetti & Llombart. For the report a total of 775 tourists and 445 holiday homeowners were questioned around Spain.
900 million euros was spent by tourists on accommodation expenses
A third of the tourists said they would not consider a holiday in an area without available holiday homes as they did not want to stay in hotels. The co-author of the study, Mar Vila said that most (79 per cent) of these tourists were foreign, aged on

average 47 and with families. With record numbers of tourists arriving this year property market professionals are hoping that this may help stimulate the housing market. Low prices for homes coupled with a potential source of income make Spanish property an attractive investment for many. The study showed that of the property owners surveyed the majority had just one holiday home to let out and 98 per cent of their bookings came through the internet.

The poor doggy had none Cassandra Nash A weekly look
Magnanimous gesture
- and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
FORMER president Jose Maria Aznar complained that Madrid’s new and extremely left wing mayor Manuela Carmena said better things about her Partido Popular predecessor Ana Botella in three days than the party itself in three years. Aznar is being disingenuous: Botella is the increasingly querulous expremier’s wife which explains why she is not universally loved inside the party. On the other hand, she was an inept mayor who can only make Carmena look good. No wonder the former judge can afford to be magnanimous.
WHEN the chips are down, or when an EU nation can’t pay its debts, even Podemos has to admit that Spain isn’t Greece. People don’t like or want austerity and politicians know it’s a vote-loser. But the money has to come from somewhere: Mrs Hubbard’s poor doggy discovered that the hard way several centuries ago. And Pablo Iglesias isn’t Tsipras, who at least has the makings of a statesman, even if he is rather short on policies. Iglesias is an anti-system university lecturer who was in the right place at the right time, but now Podemos supporters are looking askance as he tries to organise primaries to his own advantage. His party attracted disillusioned voters who felt that politicians “are all the same.” Now power-hungry Iglesias is confirming it.
PABLO IGLESIAS: As power hungry as the rest.
Wrong side of the blanket SPAIN’S president Mariano Rajoy questioned the legitimacy of town halls and regional governments now
in PSOE hands after council investitures were shored-up by Podemos. He might equally question the legitimacy of councils and regional governments that remained in PP hands thanks to Ciudadanos. The party retained control of Madrid’s autonomous government in this way as well as Almeria City Hall, for instance. Ciudadanos might be more presentable in PP eyes, but does that make its support any more legitimate than Podemos’s?

The turbulent demise of Flight AH5017 en route to Algiers Aviation in and out of the box Independent Aerospace Consultant appollo@consultant.com. Now living in the Costa del Sol, Geoff spent mor than 40 years working in the aviation industry.
ON July 24, 2014, Flight AH5017 departed Ouagadougou at 0227 CET for Algiers. The aircraft was a MD83 and was wet leased to Air Algeries by Swiftair, a Spanish charter operator. The aircraft had to weave its way around cumuli nimbus clouds as it made its way to 31,000 feet being the designated cruise altitude. The turbulence persisted. The workload in the cockpit was heavy and consisted of trying to change from one control centre to the next with some communication difficulties, adjusting the flight mode to ensure it was correct for turbu-
lence penetration, controlling anti-icing requirements as they were in icy conditions, attempting to contact Ouagadougou including having other aircraft in the vicinity trying to relay their request to return, closely monitoring their weather radar to steer clear of the larger cumuli nimbus cells and reassuring passengers that all was well. The aircraft during this peri-
The airspeed change went unnoticed and the aircraft entered a high altitude stall
EXPERIENCED: The crew were very ‘high timers’.
od remained in auto flight mode. Unfortunately, the aircraft speed decayed from 340 knots to 160 due to the auto flight systems trying to sustain the cruise altitude but with insufficient power; this went unnoticed and the aircraft entered a high altitude stall. (The wing looses all lift and can no longer
fly due to the slow speed of the aircraft). It then spiralled into the ground killing all on board. The flight data recorder shows that attempts were made to return the aircraft to straight and level but sadly on a pitch black night with no outside reference horizon it is very difficult to recover from ‘unusual attitudes’ just using instrumentation. Boeing, now responsible for all MD-80 series aircraft, had previously warned that this type can be vulnerable to speed decay – particularly those in the vicinity of convective weather in warm temperature regions. If the airspeed is not monitored carefully the airspeed can bleed away to the point of a stall onset. A number of documented incidents are on file including fatalities. On September 20, 2014, an interim accident report was issued jointly by the Mali Government and the French Regulatory Authority (BEA). This
report showed the full details of the flight data recorder in flight parameter readouts. These readouts clearly showed that there was an uncorrected decay of airspeed and that the aircraft stalled and spiral dived into the ground despite a late attempt to level the aircraft and pull the nose back up. The crew were extremely experienced pilots and were very ‘high timers’ on the MD80 series aircraft. The final report on the accident will probably be a further three years away - they usually wait until the dust settles and the law suits have fizzled out. The accident will be put down to pilot error due to the lack of attention given to the monitoring of the airspeed and therefore allowing the speed to decay below acceptable limits. Don’t shoot the messenger; the aviation industry is highly self-critical and absolutely unforgiving.

THE special edition is due to arrive in dealerships this month
OUTDOORS types may take a shine to the latest updated version of Skoda’s popular Rapid Spaceback line. The Scoutline features a choice of 16 or 17-inch alloy wheels, distinctive plastic exterior fixtures and other design elements like its matt black front and rear bumpers with reflective silver, which the external mirrors are also finished in. This special
edition is due to arrive in dealerships this month and Skoda hopes that it will become as big a favourite as the original Rapid Spaceback model which has sold more than 105,000 units in Europe.

tributes this popularity to its distinctive features. “The combination of Skoda’s practical features and fresh designs have convinced a great number of customers,” he said, adding: “We plan to build on this success with the Scoutline edition.”
The Scoutline comes in the full range of Skoda Rapid Spaceback exterior colours, including the distinctive Pistachio Green, which gives the new model the scouting image. The green look also extends to its engines, which all comply with Euro-6 emission standards and are equipped with the start-stop system and regenerative braking.

WITH the development of ‘driverless’ cars insurance premiums could halve by 2020, say industry experts. With car-makers developing technology that will allow cars to drive on motorways automatically the cost benefit is expected to be passed on to drivers. That is because 90 per cent of accidents are caused by ‘bad driving’.
New DS8 on the way INDUSTRY reports claim that Citroen is to launch a new luxury DS8 in 2018. According to Automotive News Europe the new model will be influenced by the 2014 Divine DS concept car. The DS label has been applied to several models, for instance the DS3 is an upmarket version of the C3, and has been doing so well the DS brand is now a separate division.

More signings for MGM gym TWO more fighters have been announced as joining their rapidly expanding stable By Staff Reporter MARBELLA based MGM gym has announced the signing of two more fighters to their rapidly expanding stable. Twenty-one-year-old Gary Sweeney from Ireland has become the latest member of Team MGM following his recent signing of a management contract. The cruiserweight is a seven-time Irish champion who captured silver at the European Union Championships and after around 300 amateur bouts he has recently turned
pro. His ambition was to fight in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, but with a style more suited to the professional game, he has decided to turn to the paid ranks. Sweeney will be managed by MGM Marbella and promoted by South African promoters Golden Gloves. “With Gary’s amateur record, Golden Gloves promoting him and ourselves managing him, we believe Gary has all the ingredients to reach the very top,” said MGM. “We have been very impressed with him and his
attitude makes us believe he is going all the way.” Rodney Berman from Golden Gloves said “The Irish have never had a world cruiserweight champion before, and I believe we can help make Gary the first. We’ll be aiming for his pro debut in South Africa in September and look for a world youth title by the end of 2016.” MGM can also announce that they have made another management signing; that of Craig O’Brien from Dublin who made his pro-debut in February and has already
notched up two out of two victories. Craig will be joining MGM to get his career on track and to get him to where he wants to go. He will be sticking with his trainer Niall Bryne and training in Dublin. “I’m delighted to sign for MGM and I thank them for giving me the opportunity to box,” said O’Brien. “All I want to do is perform in the ring and get back out fighting. I’m working and training harder and I’m only going to progress more with MGM!” MGM think that Craig is a great addition to Team MGM, “We have high hopes for Craig,” said MGM Management. “We think he has fantastic potential and are looking forward to getting him the fights he needs to reach the top.” NEW SIGNINGS: Gary Sweeney far right, Craig O’Brien, top right.

THE oldest and arguably the most prestigious title in golf which has both created and destroyed great champions
By Tony Myles
AT MIJAS: Mike Takshima, sponsor, with winner Tony Sidebottom (left).
AS you read this the first competitors in The Open will have teed off at St Andrews and already some hopes will be fading. It is a tough test and rightly so as it is the oldest competition in golf, having been initiated in 1860. For many it is the pinnacle of their career and therefore the opportunity of playing is one that is fiercely contested. Sad news therefore that the World’s number one golfer Rory McIlroy will be absent, but great news for Russell Knox from Scotland who has received
confirmation that he will be taking his place. As first reserve he was always hopeful that he might be called upon to play, but nevertheless he is delighted to receive that confirmation. In his own words - “It’s a special place, it’s the home of golf.” And he is right because ‘The Open’ is special. Why is it special? * The Open is the world’s oldest golf competition and throughout its history it has both created and destroyed great champions. * It is the competition that bestows the title ‘Champion of Golf ’ upon the player who lifts the Claret Jug. * Because it was the first golf competition its name is simply The Open and so there is no requirement to add the word ‘British.’ Other nations
have copied the concept and so there is a need for these to be identified. The Major Wager As with all the Majors, Campbell will be adding to the excitement with his Major Wager Challenge and all the details are on his website. Following my previous attempts at tipping a winner I fully expect several competitors to email me and asking me not to select them. So I will limit my forecasting to suggesting that the young Texan, Jordan Spieth, will be the man to beat. With two Majors already tucked away and a mastery of the game not seen since the early days of Tiger Woods it is hard to remember that he is still only 21. In the meantime Campbell is suggesting that Louis Oosthuizen is in excellent form and will gain a top five place.
