Road action call BENALMADENA Town Hall has demanded that the government take action in improving access to the town from kilometre 222 on the A7 after promising to do

so in the 2014 and 2015 budgets. Current access is insufficient leading to long traffic jams and could cause accidents.

THE DEVILS: One of the main features of the street parties.

By Steve Walsh WIDELY known by the Spanish as Barcelona’s biggest party of the year, the Fiesta La Mercè is the highlight of Barcelona’s festival calendar. The event is known to have first taken place in 1902, and is designed to embody the saying goodbye to summer and its fiery reds, and the welcoming of the colours of autumn. ‘The Devils’ are one of the main features of the street parties, and are made up by special community groups that dress up and throw caution to the wind, brandishing and wielding hand held fireworks as they run through the crowded

streets dressed like devils. Although the Fire Runs or ‘Correfoc’ are one of the highlights of the fiesta, there are thousands of other events and festivities going on in hundreds of locations across the city. Streets in all areas will be filled with events, parades, Castellers or ‘Human Towers,’ Firebreathing dragons spraying sparkers into the crowd, a Gigantes (Giants Parade), and a spectacular Projection Show where huge buildings are transformed and draped with multicoloured images. La Mercè has something for everyone, music, street performances, and drama, in thousands of venues across the city, for all ages and nationalities.

THIS month has been credited as the best in the history of Spain in terms of tourism volume. The 8.78 million international tourists who visited Spain in July of 2015 represents an increase of 6.3 per cent compared with July of 2014.

Malaga Province, 78,777 more than the same period last year. Altogether they produced a total of 8,146,979 overnight stays, most of which (5.5 million) were at hotels, Costa del Sol Tourism director Arturo

Bernal announced. Of particular note were increases in visitors from seven countries: Poland (30 per cent), Switzerland (15 per cent), Holland (14 per cent), Sweden, Italy and Ireland (11.9 per cent

each) and Denmark (10.9 per cent), Bernal reported. The traditional UK and French markets which make up the bulk of visitors to the area also registered increases of 7.6 and 8.8 per cent respectively.

FAIRGROUND attraction profits increased between 5 and 7 per cent at Malaga Fair this year, traders’ association leader Rafael Blanquez reported. Although prices were the same as last year, for the first time in five years profits increased, he said.

By Eleanor Hawkins THE Costa del Sol has been the star of the show for four days and been showcased on television screens in 190 different countries across the world as it hosted the opening stages of the Vuelta de España cycling race. A study by Unipublic event organisers estimated that 330 million viewers worldwide would be tuning in to watch the

race, 31 million of them in Spain alone, with fans in Belgium, Holland, Norway and Denmark also particularly interested in the event. Stage one, a time trial between Puerto Banus and Marbella’s marina, became the first in the race’s 70-year history to end on a beach but eventually it was announced times would not count following complaints about the safety of the route.

The tough stages wound through 17 municipalities in Malaga Province, creating a unique chance for potential visitors all over the world to get tantalising glimpses of the beautiful Costa backdrop. After the competitors left Estepona and headed out of the province and into Cadiz on Tuesday (August 25), Malaga Provincial Council leader Elias Bendodo reported that the four

days had not only given the area invaluable publicity but also attracted extra earnings, with hotels billing €900,000 for stays generated by the Vuelta. Bendodo thanked everyone involved in preparing for and organising the race stages, the security forces who worked to ensure everyone stayed safe, and local residents and fans for their support, saying everything had gone perfectly.

as a result of over-consumption of alcohol. The majority of patients, according to Villar, were young, with some aged 14, 15 or 16 coming in drunk. The younger ones, he said, tended to be in a worse state than other ages as they were unused to alcohol consumption. Pointing out that many youngsters who were brought in had not eaten anything so alcohol would be absorbed more easily, he advised people to drink lots of water and eat before consuming alcohol and to only drink in moderation.

35,000 local names exposed in Ashley Madison hack MOST of the Malaga Province residents using cheating website are men By Carol Irving PERSONAL data from 35,000 Malaga residents has been published in the Ashley Madison hacking scandal. The dating website, which encourages married couples to engage in affairs by recruiting members who are looking for extramarital relationships, was hacked in July by a group called Impact Team, according to tech specialist magazine Wired. The hackers posted the emails and telephone numbers of 37 million members from 48 different countries on the internet. Now, the Spanish company Technologica has created a map which shows the location of the 50,000 municipalities around the world in which the users live. Results indicate that 35,000 Ashley Madison users are resident in 103 municipalities in Malaga Province, with 85 per cent of Malaga members being men.

SECRET IS OUT: Hackers attempted to close down site. Nevertheless, Madrid is the city with the largest number of the website’s users, having 135,294 members regis-

tered, twice more than Barcelona. Sevilla’s figures include 25,053 members and within Malaga Province itself,

16,067 users live in Malaga City with 4,000 resident in Marbella and 2,408 in Mijas. Other figures include Velez-Malaga with 1,542 users, Benalmadena 1,402, Torremolinos 1,328, Estepona 1,239, Antequera 853, Ronda 732 and Alhaurin de la Torre with 584. The interactive map allows one to zoom in on a particular locality and click to see the number of users, although it only works where there are at least 10 members registered in the area. Initially the hacking group stole the data and threatened to publish it unless the dating site was closed down. The agency’s owners, Avid Life Media, immediately employed an IT security company to deal with the hackers. The company have promised that they will do everything in their power to identify the perpetrators and have called the security breach an act of “cyberterrorism”.

Andalucia to get back to work A NEW work orientation scheme announced on Friday (August 21) will see the Spanish government spending €110 million in Andalucia to benefit an estimated 280,000 jobless people. Fatima Bañez, Minister for Employment and Social Security, announced the scheme in Sevilla, explaining that it will be aimed at people aged between 30 and 55 who have been out of work for a long time and will be launched in 2016. The figure allotted to Andalucia, the minister said, was 22 per cent of the total budget for the scheme for all the Spanish regions, as the government is concerned at the high unemployment rates in the southern region and intends to work harder to even out the differences between local and national rates.

Parking helper is bad Samaritan A WOMAN asked a stranger to help her move her car a little in a tight parking space in the Huerto de los Cristales area of Marbella centre, so she didn’t block another driver. After getting into the woman’s car to help, the man sped off and turned into Avenida Severo Ochoa, crashing it into the central reservation after hitting two

other passing cars along the way. The speeding car came to a stop just a few metres away from a packed restaurant terrace and the driver jumped out and fled on foot. None of the occupants of the two cars were seriously injured but the woman’s car, which she had just bought the week before, was totally destroyed.

Homes evacuated as flames approached in Benahavis FIRE spread rapidly throughout the area, causing authorities to evacuate around 20 local residents By Carol Irving A FOREST fire in Benahavis closed the AP7 motorway in Marbella on Sunday August 23 as it spread rapidly throughout the area, causing authorities to evacuate around 20 local residents. The fire, which actually ignited on a plot of land in an urban area near to kilometre one of the A-7175 road around 3.30pm, quickly set fire to surrounding forests. A level one emergency plan for forest fires was launched and remained in place for approximately an hour and a half. As a result, around 10 homes in the area were evacuated as a precaution, although the residents of the

Yet there was some good news for residents when a specialist firefighter came to the rescue of a dog who would have almost certainly died without his help. Both part of the AP7 motorway and the A7175 main road were closed for the duration due to lack of visibility caused by smoke from the fire.

Holidaymakers report safe theft A FRENCH couple on holiday on the Costa has reported the theft of €120,000 worth of items from their hotel bedroom safe while they were having dinner downstairs. The victims, a 41-year-old businessman and his wife, told the Guardia Civil that they had gone down for dinner in the restaurant of the luxurious five-star Melia La Quinta hotel in Benahavis, where they were spending two weeks on holiday, at 8.15pm and when the wife returned to the room at 11 . 1 5 p m s h e f o u n d t h e d o o r l o c k e d and chained from the inside. After calling her husband and hotel staff, an employee climbed over the balcony from a neighbouring room and opened the door, at which point the victims found their possessions had been tampered with. Burglars had forced the balcony door open with a crowbar and ripped the safe from its fittings inside a

wardrobe. Inside the safe, the couple told officers, they had stored €100,000 worth of jewellery including a gold and diamond watch valued at €35,000, other Bulgari and Rolex watches, earrings, rings and gold necklaces. Along with the jewellery, the official report to the police also mentioned €18,000 in cash, two iPhones, an Apple laptop and the family’s passports. The businessman told officers that he had not seen anyone suspicious loitering near their room but suspected somebody had information on what was stored in the safe and admitted he was insured but claimed he did not know whether his policy would cover break-ins. Hotel sources meanwhile explained they had moved the couple to another room and were doing everything possible to assist the couple and police in their investigations.

Mijas up in arms over lack of parking spaces PEOPLE in Mijas are becoming increasingly frustrated with parking problems in the area, and one local representative has asked police not to fine tourists parked illegally for fear of chasing away custom. Finding a space has become almost impossible, especially in La Cala and the Riviera del Sol residential Complex as well as other coastal sites, say locals. Both residents and visitors are complaining, and there are reports that many drivers are forced to park illegally. Delivery workers say they can no longer use parking spaces es-

pecially reserved for them as other vehicles are already parked in them when they arrive. One of them, Francisco Moron, told Spanish daily SUR: “In Riviera, most of them are foreigners parking in prohibited places.” Miguel Martinez, president of the Riviera community of owners, complained that the Local Police force was fining many people, and called for leniency: “We have to be a bit more permissive with tourists, as they are our main source of income.” Local Police chief Francisco Rosas denied any increase in the number of fines.

Schools get better scores from parents SURVEY finds mums and dads happier with education

By Eleanor Hawkins STATE schools and teachers are getting better, at least according to a new survey by the Junta de Andalucia regional government answered by 59,000 families with children. Aiming to find out what parents and pupils really think about the education system and teachers, the Junta asked families to give marks out of 10 for a range of things to do with school including what

they thought about the teachers, how children were getting on academically and how much information schools provide. Whereas in 2011 families gave an overall average mark of 6.89 out of 10, this year this has gone up to 7.65. The areas parents said they were happiest with this year were teaching methods, information received from schools and tutors and increased communication with families, especially regarding bad behaviour and truancy.

The result was an incredible journey leaving from Aabenraa in southern Denmark on August 1, and then travelling through Germany, Holland, Belgium, France before arriving in Benalmadena on Tuesday. Covering distances of up to 100km per day initially, the rough, steep terrain and hot temperatures in France and Spain meant they had to slow down to 50 or 60km per day but they were cheered along the way by passers-by throughout their trip. As well as wishing to inspire others to break through their limitations, the pair also want to highlight the importance of the work of Montebello Clinic, especially as the Danish government are proposing closing it down, in order to save money.

Costa Women connect, inspire and support 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. Ali helps others achieve what they think is impossible. ALI MEEHAN came to Spain in 2002 after realising that she had much more adventure and passion in her soul to do more both personally, and also for others. She had already met her future husband, Patrick back in the UK at a friend’s party, and as Patrick was working in Spain, Ali decided to move her office here and join him. She was working for Business Development Consultancy in the Middle East, so it allowed her to be flexible on where she lived. As she and Patrick moved around the globe with their work, Ali would mainly be operating from her home via internet, until her work found her living and working in the Middle East in 2004. By this time, she knew what it felt like to uproot and start again in a strange country. This experience was to play a large part in what she has achieved today. Ali and Patrick returned to Spain and married in Mijas in 2009. However it was not long before they uprooted again to live for another eight months in Thailand, which was also a massive business learning curve for her. Ali calls herself ‘a serial expat’ as she has travelled and lived far and wide, but she still calls Spain her home. By 2010 she was back here once more and this was the year that Costa Women was born. Ali had realised during her travels that there were women living all over the world with a need to connect with others, or confidence boosting and support in order to move forward in their lives. Her ethos was simple, to connect, inspire, enable and support, which is how the Costa Women organisation operates today. Ali had already put a website in place just before she left Thailand.

The idea was to start the group in Spain for women who had relocated here needing help and support. Costa Women offers monthly gatherings and events to network and expand skills and knowledge between its members as well as jobs, classifieds and a space for blogging. It wasn’t long before the membership rapidly grew; within one month Ali had attracted a following from as far as Barcelona. Today the Costa Women boast 4,000+ members with meet ups in 17 different locations and 57 different nationalities including Spanish and Russia. With this immense unity, Costa Women have raised thousands for many beneficiaries. They have raised money in order to support AMUSVIG, a charity for homeless and abused women, and have been working closely with Bancosol Alimentos,

who gather food for the needy in various food banks. When I asked Ali if she had any further goals she said “By the end of the year I would like to have welcomed 5,000 mem-

bers to Costa Women so that we can do even more. I believe that you can do anything when you put your mind to it. There are so many women that think that their goals are impossible, but in most cases

they are achievable” When talking to Ali you realise she has done exactly that, achieved, and is continuing to help others achieve with the same frame of mind. It is hard to believe such a softly spoken and gentle person such as Ali carries such strength and determination inside. And thank goodness she does as this strength has changed the attitudes of women everywhere. Now many women enjoy the coffee mornings, social and business group meetings, International Women’s Day events and all other events where united they can raise funds for others in need. I asked Ali has she anything that she would have done differently and she replied “I named the group ‘Costa Women,’ and now we have overgrown from the Costa into so many other places across Spain and the Islands.” I also asked her where she will be in five years time. “Out of all the countries I have lived in, I still love Spain the best. I want to give much more back to the Spanish community as well as expats, I love my work here, and right now is the best time of my life.” Her uplifting attitude to life is what drives her on to get the results she desires. Ali, as a Costa Woman, possesses a wonderful and winning formula.

MARBELLA PORT: Fisherman were shocked to find the body floating in the sea.

Body is found in Marbella’s seaport NUMBER of deaths by drowning recently has doubled By Susana Fuentes FISHERMEN were shocked after finding the body of a middle-aged man floating in the sea at Marbella’s seaport earlier this week Four divers from the Special Squad of Underwater Ac-

tivities (GEAS) were needed to retrieve the body from the water, and the Guardia Civil has launched an investigation into the circumstances of his death. After a long, hot day of work, the fishermen had finished darning their fishnets

and were leaving the seaport when they made the gruesome discovery prompting them to call the authorities. This year the number of deaths by drowning during the months of June and July have almost doubled in comparison to last year’s numbers.

A YOUNG Russian woman has been charged after driving through a Marbella tunnel on the A7 in San Pedro at high speeds with a semi-naked man clinging on to the boot of the car. The driver was said to be a 30year-old Russian holidaymaker staying on the Costa del Sol. Guardia Civil discovered the crime after another driver, who was driving behind the youth, recorded the incident on his mobile phone. Initially it was thought that the video, which was posted on You Tube on July 30 and quickly went viral on social media, was a fake. Police traced the registration plate to a rental car company and were able to identify the suspected driver from the list of clients who had rented the car around the time the video was recorded.

Police interrogated the woman when they tracked her to the airport, about to board a plane for her journey home. However, because officers could not be sure of the actual day when the incident happened, and the economic hardship for the woman losing her plane ticket, they let her go. After watching hours and hours of footage from security cameras, Guardia Civil eventually discovered that the incident happened at midnight on July 28, a day when the Russian woman was renting the car and the vehicle was being driven at 100km per hour in an 80km zone. Based on that evidence, the woman has now been charged with dangerous driving and the case is now being investigated by Court No. 2 in Marbella.

The police force reported that the man was not arrested but the matter has been placed in the hands of a court, and although he will not be jailed due to his age the man could face an extremely heavy fine for growing forbidden substances.

‘Ninja’ sleeps on bridge arch THE Malaga Fair has no doubt seen some strange sights but a man sleeping on top of the arch known as El Puente de los Alemanes is a new one. Police discovered the drunk British tourist while on patrol in the fair and had to call the fire brigade to try to get him down safely. After being lowered to the ground, the man,

who was on holiday in Malaga, was only able to babble incoherently due to his inebriated state and he was then charged for causing a public disorder. Photos of the sleeping man on the arch quickly appeared on social media with the hapless drunk being nicknamed Spiderman, or the Ninja of the Bridge.

30 horsemen from Almeria denied entry to the Fair ALL ended in disappointment when they were turned away point blank By Steve Walsh A TROUPE of Almerian horseman arrived three minutes late at the office to process their permits and were told they could not access the Malaga fiesta. They had gotten up extra early to enjoy and entertain at the fair in Malaga, prepared and loaded their horses into rented trailers, and set off to the festivities in the capital of the Costa del Sol. However, all ended in great disappointment for these 30 horsemen and their steeds, who when finally entering the site at Cortijo de Torres with their animals, were turned away point blank. Francisco Bridge is one of the people who form this group, which belong to the riding club The Manolete. He explains, it all happened last Thursday when they arrived at the Puertadel Real. They had to find an office in which to submit documentation and the registration of the animals, however, as Francis said, “we got there at 2.03pm, and the office had closed for lunch at two. We

Work done but no work on hospital EXTENSION is desperately needed to improve services By Eleanor Hawkins HOSPITAL visitors and passersby last week were surprised to see workers busy dismantling one of the cranes that has stood for four years over the skeleton of the Costa del Sol hospital extension. Yet, in spite of speculation this could mean either work

was about to start again at last or the project had been ditched altogether, both Marbella Council and the Junta de Andalucia regional government said there is nothing to report. Work to build the huge extension, desperately needed to improve hospital services on the Costa, ground to a halt four years ago due to admin-

istrative problems. Although an agreement was signed by the construction company and the authorities more than a year ago and work was expected to begin again last January to allow the building to be in use by 2016, the site remains empty and nobody seems to know when things will happen.

What do tourists spend money on? BRITISH tourists spend more in bars and restaurants By Susana Fuentes BRITISH and American tourists spend more money in bars and restaurants while they are on holiday in Spain, when compared with tourists from other nationalities which spend more money on clothes and shoes. British tourists are at the top of the list of spenders in Malaga, whereas only 12 per cent of Spanish tourist’s purchases are made in the town.

This information, and much more data, has been revealed by a study by the Centre of Innovation at BBVA, during the months of July and August 2014. This study shows many different facts about tourists and the money they spend in Spain. Data from cash machines show that the average money transactions made by a tourist is €135, and that Italian, American and Finnish tourists make most of their transactions at night, especially on a Saturday.

AENA’s report, sent to Malaga Town Hall, the Coastal Demarcation Dept and the Maritime Authority, proposes that immediate measures be taken to limit kite-surfing and other similar sports in this location while an investigation is taking place.

With a capacity for 1,000 litres of water, the new vehicle will allow streets to be sprayed with chemical products to remove muck and rinsed with pine-scented detergents, making the popular area both look and smell better, the council announced.

“Due to the increase in population in the summer we decided to increase human and material resources to take care of our historical centre and ensure everything looks great,” Services councillor Blas Ruzafa explained.

QUALITY INVESTMENTS: Are now much cheaper than a few months ago.

Buy on weakness or head for lifeboats? MARKETS are driven by a balance between fear and greed MARKETS everywhere seem to be crashing, with news reports showing stressed traders and red numbers left, right and centre meaning prospective investors could hardly be blamed for having second thoughts. Yet legendary US investor Warren Buffet counsels greed when others are fearful and fear when others are greedy and at AES International, advisors are keeping a beady eye on the situation, which they say could be a great op-

portunity for long-term investors. Today, like every day, markets are driven by a balance between fear and greed and at the moment, fear is winning the battle. It takes courage, but when everyone else is losing their head it is a terrific time to step forward and do the opposite to the rest of the herd. So AES is buying into markets on the current weakness. It isn’t easy, and it is possible the markets will continue to

be very volatile and today’s investments could well fall further. Yet long-term perspectives are what they are looking at. No matter how many reports come out reporting commodities are crashing, they say, it may not actually matter in the long-run. In fact, for long-term investors it could well be a heaven-sent chance to buy into quality investments which are now much cheaper than they were a few months or even weeks ago. The outlook for the global economy and so-called developed markets (US, UK, Europe) is good. Although there is no telling what the near future may hold, for those saving for the future AES believes it’s time for smart investors to take advantage of cheaper levels to add to positions in UK, European and US equities and has both active and passive format opportunities on their White List. AES’s service, and all that they do, is designed for people who want to safeguard their financial future. Opportunities like today’s, they say, don’t come along very often so those interested should contact them as soon as possible by calling 951 242 684 or visiting www.AESandalusia.es to find out more.

FED UP: While Alora has been given a new theatre (pictured), Alhaurin de la Torre is still waiting.

Local mayor fed up waiting for theatre ONLY town with more than 20,000 inhabitants with no theatre By Eleanor Hawkins A MALAGA town mayor has put his foot down and said he intends to get a municipal theatre, “with or without the regional government.” Joaquin Villanova, mayor of Alhaurin de la Torre, is fed up with waiting for financing to be approved for the town’s theatre, plans for which were drawn up more than 10 years ago, and says he won’t wait five or six years and if the Junta de Andalucia regional government doesn’t get a

move on he will go ahead anyway and fight to get the money back afterwards. “It’s an important project and it’s already been delayed more than 10 years,” he said. Although the council has asked over and over for the financing to be organised since the first plans were drawn up, nothing has happened. “It’s embarrassing to be the only town with more than 20,000 inhabitants that doesn’t have a theatre. They’ve been avoiding the subject and making excuses for three years,” Villanova said.

Spanish beaches in danger of disappearing WORLDWIDE nature charity WWF has launched a campaign coinciding with August, Spain’s classic beach holiday month, to ask people to petition the government to do something about global warming before beaches disappear. The effects of global warming are not something far away and intangible but in fact are a close and distinct problem, the WWF has stressed, and unless something is done about greenhouse effect gas emissions the Spanish coasts will be particularly harshly affected by the impact of climate change. The Ni Un Grado Mas (not a single degree higher) campaign reminds that scientists have predicted sea levels will rise six centimetres and Spanish beaches will shrink by between one and three metres by 2040, and asks people to petition the government for a 100 per cent renewable energy policy. The United Nations Climatic Change Experts Group calculates that if measures are not taken and countries continue to emit gases at the same rate, sea levels could rise by up to 59 centimetres by the end of this century. This would seriously endanger ecosystems and coastal populations, the WWF said.

Different plans for empty bus station NOW considering making it a tourist office By Eleanor Hawkins AFTER saying San Pedro’s empty bus station would be turned into a youth centre, the council has changed its mind again and is now considering making it a tourist office.

Now, San Pedro, Culture, Education and Historical Heritage councillor Rafael Piña has said the building has been suggested to house a tourist information office. The location is good as it is at the town entrance when coming from Marbella, and large signs would be used to attract visitors seeking information, he said.

If jobs are scarce bilingual children can bank on a brighter future BEING able to go back and forth between languages is a kind of brain training, pushing your brain to be flexible

Loose change Jane Plunkett A look at finance for females jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

BILINGUALS get all the perks. Better job prospects, higher salaries, a cognitive boost and even protection against dementia. A lot of research has been done on the bilingual mind and it seems that going back and forth between languages is a kind of brain training, pushing your brain to be flexible. Just as regular exercise gives your body some biological benefits, mentally controlling two or more languages gives your brain cognitive benefits. So as expatriates living here in Spain it really does pay off to raise children in a bilingual environment from the moment they are born. The mental flexibility of being able to jump from one language to another pays off big time in the future, and especially when looking for a job.

Less time to pay COINCIDENTALLY now the government has amended its policy on tax for solar generated electricity for homes, the Spanish electricity companies have decided to reduce time limits for disconnection of late payers.

Anti-mosquito shirts ALTHOUGH there is some other clothing in the world market, a Spanish company, STINGBye has developed a range of anti-mosquito shirts which it currently sells through pharmacies within Spain and hopes to export to other countries in the near future.

Film tax relief THE British government has set up a new department in Manchester to deal with the corporation tax affairs of companies which are eligible for Film Tax Relief. Provided films have a spend within the UK of no less than 10 per cent and can pass a cultural test, producers can claim up to 25 per cent tax relief.

According to experts, the reasons why being bilingual is so rewarding are numerous. Bilinguals are better at multi-tasking. Apparently

children who grow up learning to speak two languages are better at switching between tasks than children who speak only one language.

Bilingualism makes you more open-minded and sensitive to others. Bilinguals have an enhanced awareness of other people’s points of view, born from their deeper understanding, from an early age, that some people have a different perspective. This, according to the Financial Times probably makes bilinguals better managers. Another study found bilingualism enhances your listening ability. It showed that in a noisy environment bilinguals are better at detecting the different sounds, therefore enhancing attention, which in turn is a valuable workplace quality. Bilingual children are noted to score high in tests and exams due to advanced thinking skills, while bilingualism also offers children a direct path to live and work abroad, and perhaps even easily pick up a third language in the future. A study from the US also shows that significantly higher salaries are paid to bilingual speakers than monolingual speakers! So where jobs are scarce, ensuring that our children are proficient in a second language, also ensures a more financially stable future.

Gibraltar decides not to charge IVA on any sales in the territory AS Gibraltar is not part of the EU Customs Union, even though it is a member of the EU through Britain, it has decided not to charge IVA (VAT) on any sale made within the territory. Clearly this is very beneficial to local inhabitants and visitors. This decision also makes it attractive for certain businesses which become domiciled on the Rock. Anyone who purchases goods in Spain which are then transferred to Gibraltar is entitled to reclaim the IVA in full from the Spanish authorities and this is important for larger purchases where a Gibraltar import duty may be levied. Conversely, however, if an item is purchased and consumed in Spain by a Gibraltar resident or company, IVA must be charged by the Spanish seller and cannot be reclaimed. If you go to the theatre in Spain for example, then the point where the tax is charged remains in Spain.

THE ROCK: The decision is beneficial to local inhabitants and visitors.

Investigation continues THE Spanish National Securities Market Commission has revealed that a police economic crimes unit is investigating the matter of the revocation of certain licences to trade on the stock market.It has been alleged in the media that corruption may have been involved in the granting of these licences but the investigation is in its early stages.

Police tweet SPANISH police have taken the unusual action of issuing a tweet warning consumers messages received through WhatsApp and SMS offering Mercadona vouchers are fraudulent. The message invites consumers to participate in a survey and takes them to a premium service which also demands personal information in order for the ‘prizes’ to be issued. Naturally a spokesperson for Mercadona has confirmed the company is not in any way associated with the fraud and everyone should dump unopened - these messages.

I WARNED my friend but she was adamant, she could trust her instincts. A Russian language copy-writer translator, her client owed her €180 which was now overdue. He wanted more work done, would she oblige. My friend is an obliging lady and soon the €180 became €340. Her faith in her client was to her credit but the overdue invoice was to his credit. It still is. This week she received an email. His business is experiencing cash-flow difficulties. It may be some time before he is in a position to settle the bill. Those with clout no doubt; the utilities and essential suppliers will be paid. My friend, a single mum, has no clout whatsoever. She isn’t alone of course. It is this small business sector that bears the brunt of lost settlements. Faced by hot competition payment upfront is out of the question. The same applies if credit limits are applied. If clients default they simply

CLAPPED OUT: Getting it through an ITV was more than the car was worth. move on to the next victim. If, as there is in the UK, there was a workable solution the problem would be much reduced. An outstanding auto-mechanic was honest in his appraisal. Her R/H drive clapped out car was worth only say €300. The cost of getting it through the ITV would be €850. It was a no-brainer.

She then said the car was worth more to her and begged him to work on it. Shrugging, he got on with it. He then called her expecting to hear pearls dropping from her mouth. She had decided that she didn’t want the car after all; he could have it. Anyone want to buy a clapped out Clio that just squeaked

through the ITV? If clients are genuine, and most are, they will perfectly understand if you request a deposit of say 50 per cent. If they don’t like it then they are not the kind of customers you want. You actually make or save money by telling them, ‘my way or the highway.’

All in it up to their old pal eyeballs EARLY leaders ruled by fear and strength, many of whom were far worse than ISIS LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT ARAB spring? Ha! The actions of Bush and Blair have turned the Middle East into a winter that could last for centuries. These two despots, in their headlong flight to seize the oil wealth of desert lands under the guise of freeing their citizens from oppression, have managed to upset a delicate balance that has endured for thousands of years. The inhabitants of these Mid-East countries were simply not ready for so called independence. The Arab calendar is in the 14th century. If you look back to 14th century Europe you will find it ruled by the Monarchy, feudal aristocrats and religious zealots. Sound familiar? These early leaders ruled by fear and strength, many of whom committed atrocities far beyond those carried out by the likes of ISIS. Because the majority of Europe’s inhabitants were basically simple peasants, this method of control actually worked and be-

14TH CENTURY: Ruled by the monarchy and feudal aristocrats.

neath the savage glitter of feudal Europe, countries traded and prospered. There were of course wars and uprisings, the strongest and fittest survived and subsequently con-

tinued to maintain the status quo. Well Blair and Bush’s maraud into the Middle East changed all that. We are now reaping the harvest. We see hundreds of

thousands of migrants assailing our borders; people who were probably perfectly happy carrying out their daily lives under the strict regimes of Hussein and Gadhafi. We are experiencing acts of unspeakable terror at home. Thousands of our troops have been maimed and killed, and the Middle East is in complete turmoil. As to the Chilcot enquiry, if ever I saw a conspiracy to protect the rears of the guilty this is it. As far as I’m concerned they are all in it up to their old pal eyeballs. A series of very simple questions should have resolved this years ago. With a bit of justice, Blair should have already been behind bars for some time. Question. ‘Mr Blair. Who told you Hussein had weapons of destruction that could be launched in 45 minutes’? Answer. ‘Fred Flange.’ Question. ‘Mr Flange. Who told you Hussein had… etc. etc.’? Sooner or later the buck would have hit the wall. Six months at the most. Six years? Cover up. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Many Spaniards looking to move out of the cities into the country PEOPLE want to find cheaper properties and hopefully improve their economic position in the long term

WITH the steady turnaround in the Spanish economy, the demand for a new property is beginning to increase. Many foreign investors are buying property in big cities and better known tourist destinations, as they believe that these purchases will see the biggest return on their investment. A significant number of Spaniards, however, are considering relocation to rural areas or small villages provided that they have an opportunity to work. People want to find cheaper properties and thus hopefully improve their economic position in the long term. Many feel that moving to the countryside or back to the village where they were born would make sound financial sense. Property is less expensive, and the cost of living is also lower.

Family considerations can also play a part as couples want their children to grow up somewhere safe. Family considerations can also play a part in this migration as couples want their children to grow up somewhere that is safe and environmentally friendly with plenty of open space, whilst others need to look after an elderly family member. The cities and beaches will never see a completely foreign population but there is no doubt that a number of Spaniards will take a long look at the possibility of moving to the country.

SMALL VILLAGE: Significant numbers are considering relocation provided there is work available.

Common points for home and classic car THOUSANDS of homes in Spain are in some of the best locations with the best views but have been neglected John Graham The property expert

THE other day I was looking at some classic cars, an E-type jaguar, several Ferraris and other classic car makes from years gone by and they all had one thing in common, they had all been beautifully restored to their former glory and they all looked like they had just rolled off the production line. Obviously the classic cars had been restored by professional experts and as a Technical Architect I really admired the company’s professional eye for detail and workmanship, producing true works of art. So you may be thinking what has classic cars got to do with property, well quite a lot actually, there are thousands of older properties in Spain in some of the best locations with the best views that have unfortunately been neglected, but like a classic car each property can be restored by

MODERN LOOK: Old properties can be restored by a professional. professionals to look like a modern new home again and maximise the properties’ location and views. The other point restored classic cars and renovated properties have in common is that their value is substantially increased, making them either highly collectable or

highly desirable and very importantly, easy to sell. Over my 30 years in the real estate industry I have seen many properties restored badly and also really well done, the difference always seems to come down to good quality control, or lack of it.

Like a classic car restoration, your property needs to have a top professional in charge of the renovation project, that’s why you should always hire a professional surveyor to act on your behalf as the owner, to look after your interests and to ensure the work is carried out to the highest standard. If the renovation of your property is below standard you will lose money as the value will be less than you had planned and will lack the level of desirability of a top finished renovation making your property harder to sell. So next time you see a professionally restored classic car looking in showroom condition, think about what your property would look like and be worth, if you renovated your older property with a professional surveyor acting on your behalf. If you would like more details on renovating your home please contact me for more information. John Graham. Fellow of The Architecture & Surveyors Institute. Gk.ipad@me.com

Millions of empty homes in Spain losing money OWNERS could be receiving at least €7,128 per year

EMPTY HOMES: It is estimated there are 3.5 million in the country. By Maria José Fernandez OWNERS of empty homes in Spain could be receiving at least €7,128 per year, while the public tax office could be receiving at least €4,000 if the home was rented. This analysis was published by property website pisos.com, using data col-

lected by the National Statistics Institute (INE), which estimates that there are at least 3.5 million empty houses in the country. By regions, those owners with homes in Madrid are those who could be getting the highest profit from their empty properties with a total of €11,304 on average per year, followed by the Basque

Country (€10,668), the Balearic Islands (€8,616) and Catalonia (€8,100). Andalucia is the community with the highest amount of uninhabited homes, and it is estimated at least €4 billion revenue could be generated if they were rented, followed by the Valencian Community with €3.6 billion.

WHEN h e l e f t R e a l M ad rid to join LA Galaxy in 2007, David Beckham still owned a five-bedroomed mansion in the Madrid suburb of La Moraleja, which he and Victoria have just sold eight years later for a significant profit, to a wealthy Spanish businessman. The house cost them £3 million in 2005 and having spent a further £350,000 on refurbishment, he and Victoria only had a few years to enjoy the two-storey building set in its own grounds with a pool, small football pitch and tennis court. Unlike many other people, the Beckhams didn’t have to worry too mu c h a b o u t t h e s a le o f th e property and they went on to buy a villa in Beverly Hills, a modest holiday home worth £2.5 million in the South of France and another property in Dubai.

June property sales in Spain up 19.4 per cent compared to last year THE GENERAL Council of Notaries has published the encouraging information that the sale of homes in Spain saw a massive increase of 19.4 per cent in June 2015 compared to figures for June 2014. There was a total of 37,641 sales although the average price per square metre did fall a little to €1,260. This is the fourth consecutive month of increases and is the highest increase for a single month this year. Interestingly, whilst the sale of apartments both new and second hand increased by just under 21 per cent, the ac-

tual sales value fell by 0.7 per cent. This is quite different to the situation with individual homes which saw a steady growth in number of 14.5 per cent and an increase in price of a full 2 per cent. In addition, the number of mortgages granted has increased dramatically to over 16,000 in June with an average value of €121,445. Although this is good news, the actual value of property if compared with 2007 when the recession started to bite, has seen an overall decline in price of 33 per cent.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Improvement to traffic boards AS part of this 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. SUBTLE improvements have been made to traffic information boards on Spain’s roads by the DGT to indicate delays on the roads. Most motorways have overhead signs to warn of weather conditions and accidents and journey times, and now, alongside these timings for journeys, some of the display panels will also display a clock face. A white clock indicates that traffic is flowing normally, whereas a red clock indicates that there are delays. The aim is to try and provide more information to motorists and therefore encourage safer driving through awareness of problems ahead. Pegasus catches dangerous driver Not everyone drives safely though as the DGT reports that the airborne speed detector, Pegasus, has clocked a Porsche travelling at 218km per hour on the R-4 ring road of Madrid, when the maximum speed allowed is 120km per hour. The footage recorded showed the vehicle to have French licence plates and a child in the back of the car that was not wearing the mandatory seatbelt. Pegasus normally catches speeders who are later informed of their activities and fines but due to the gravity of the offences being committed by the vehicle and the serious risk to road safety, the helicopter

PEGASUS: Airborne speed detector. crew called on ground troops to intercept and stop the vehicle. The driver was a 31-year-old male of Spanish nationality and his son who was in the car, was aged eight. He was arrested at the scene and faces up to a four year driving ban.

Is the UK now a “soft touch” for Cameron’s “swarms” of migrants? WHAT’S wrong with this solution? They would solve a lot of the country’s problems Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

THE world is facing its worst refugee crisis since the Second World War with 50 million people leaving their homes according to the EU’s migration commissioner. This after David Cameron’s comments about “swarms” of migrants making for British shores! There followed numerous proposals for dealing with the crisis like, for instance, issuing ID cards, which provoked much flak from bleeding-heart liberals and the usual suspects. Now, I’ve never understood the problem with issuing these cards. They’d solve lots of problems and are the rule in most advanced democracies.

Straightaway after WW2, they were in circulation in the UK and I don’t believe anyone objected then! Naturally, today’s ID cards would be far more state of the art than those war-time cardboard ones. But they’d represent a breakthrough in keeping tabs on who has, or hasn’t the right to reside in the UK, apply for benefits and, in addition, provide solid proof of identification for those members of the legitimate population who don’t have a passport or driving licence. So many could benefit: the elderly, the very young, the very poor and the disabled. As regards not registering those who leave the country, it’s beyond belief that successive governments (both Conservative and Labour) should have abandoned such checks at outward passport control. It’s prepos-

terous, too, that the administration of applications and the consequent huge delays in granting leave to stay or, if refused, removing the claimant ends up taking forever.

A much more targeted, businesslike approach to this ever-growing crisis is what’s called for: a sea change from the traditional British ‘muddling through.’ But what about the EU’s response, you ask? Yeah,

ID CARDS: Would represent a breakthrough on who has or hasn’t the right to reside in the UK.

right, there goes another herd of pigs flying past my window! EU efforts to forge solutions routinely end in bickering and half-baked policies generally eliciting responses from countries within it that unsurprisingly rhyme with ‘bucket.’ I’m not saying ID cards are the only solution (try telling a professional historian that things were simpler in the past - and stand well back). What’s needed is to reverse the widespread perception that Britain’s a ‘soft touch.’ This might even lead to a more generous response to those in truly genuine need, like vulnerable Syrians in UN camps.

Cambridge Global Payments Services EVERY client is offered an exceptional level of service CAMBRIDGE global payments offer solutions for anyone that has a need to send money from one currency to another, whether you need to transfer a large sum or small, each client is treated equally and afforded the same level of service, ensuring every client is offered an exceptional level of service and receives the best value for their money. For those clients that need to send over smaller sums of money, whether on a regular basis or just as and when required, we have solutions to suit all. Below is a brief description of just some of the services we offer. SIX OR 12 MONTHS FIXED EXCHANGE RATES - this solution is for those clients who wish to have the security of knowing exactly how much money they will receive each month, regardless of what happens with the exchange rates, you

will receive the same amount in your account each month for the duration of your agreement, giving the peace of mind needed to plan ahead. VARIABLE RATE REGULAR TRANSFER - This is an ongoing agreement whereby we will transfer the amount our clients request each month, but it will fluctuate along with market conditions. This allows clients to take advantage of the exchange rate moving in their favour, but it also does run the risk of the value of their money going down should the exchange move in a negative direction. DRAW DOWN - This agreement is based over six or 12 months and similar to the fixed forward, except rather than have a set amount taken from their bank accounts each month, we will secure the amount of funds that they wish to secure a rate on, for example, if a client has a pen-

sion of £500 per month and wants to secure the whole year, then we would fix the rate of exchange to £6,000 (12 months x £500). Then the client can take as much as they need until such a time they have drawn down all the funds secured, then they can either enter a new agreement or choose another solution should they wish to. ADHOC SPOT PAYMENTS - This is for those that do not wish to commit to a monthly agreement and just to let the funds build in their own accounts, and then transfer either when they need to, or when they see a rate of exchange that they do not want to miss out on. There are no minimum amount or maximum amounts for this service. These are just a few options available to our clients, but as always, our service is completely adaptable to each individual.

The D-Train

The purpose of the Hexagram puzzle is to place the 19 six-letter words into the 19 cells. The letters at the edges of interlocking cells MUST BE THE SAME. The letters in the words must be written CLOCKWISE. The word in cell 10 (CASKET) and one letter in four other cells are given as clues.

JACK Black is Dan Landsman, a sad, pitiful figure who has few friends and is disliked by his old school mates. As head of his high school reunión committee, he desperately tries to improve his social status by inviting his school’s celebrity pupil, Oliver Lawless to the reunion which no one wants to attend. After travelling all the way to California under the guise of a business trip in order to invite Oliver in person, he finds that his ex-classmate played by James Marsden is not the person Dan believes him to be. The plot takes a surprising twist when Oliver makes a drunken pass at his exschool friend throwing the married man into a state of shock and confusion as he discovers his hero is bisexual.

TIME

YOUR STARS LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The usually flamboyant attitude which is yours at this time of the year is now subdued, but this will not last for too much longer and soon things will be back to normal. You will be looking to spice up your romantic life and your partner will be only too willing to go along with your suggestions. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) There is a lot going on and sometimes you need to take a step back. A feeling that you have covered some ground before is not unfounded. However, there are certain aspects of your life which need to be revisited. Only in this way are you able to see the real progress that has been made. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Expectations are high. With energy peaking early on, projects gain momentum and there are early results. A suggestion made to a loved one some time ago is now acceptable and there could be some excitement. Rather than setting down hard-andfast plans, it may be better to be flexible. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your love life is highlighted and, although you may be suspicious of your good luck, this is a new phase. Whereas before you had some reason to mistrust you are now able to have confidence. It is a great time to progress your inclinations on the romantic front.

VIRGO

(August 24 - September 23)

A great light shines on your romantic life. Whether it is meeting up with old chums or a new date, there is electricity in the air for you. Equally, a business coupling is particularly fruitful and you count your blessings to have gone down a particular path. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Cast your net wide this week and be prepared to take advantage of a state of freedom. With high energy and an expansive mind, you are in a good position. Avoid being thrown out of kilter by activities around you. It may be difficult to make real progress at times but that does not mean you are unable to plan. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As the moon shines on you, it is almost possible to feel the light. After a few recent hiccups it is now possible to get down to achieving your heart's desire. Whether that is what you will want at the end of the day is neither here nor there. What matters most to your wellbeing now is to see some results. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There will be good news regarding an application or legal document. Following on from that your finances take a turn for the better and this could be long term. Having extra cash is great, but be wary of someone who would like to part you from it. At the

Fish (real name Derek William Dick) was the lead singer of which neo-progressive rock band, whose UK top 10 hit singles include Kayleigh, Lavender and Incommunicado? 4. Name any two of the four main stars of the 1988 heist comedy film A Fish Called Wanda? 5. ‘The great fish moved silently through the night water’ is the opening line of which horror novel by Peter Benchley first published in 1974? 6.

weekend, events take a romantic turn but timing may be bad owing to other commitments. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you feel more in control as the week comes to an end, do not make the mistake of counting your chickens before they are hatched. If you do, you could end up with egg on your face. Continue to plan to get the best results but bide your time. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Colleagues are far from helpful at the moment and you may even feel that matters are going backwards. It may be necessary to move away and leave them to haggle among themselves. Perhaps later you may step in and take control of the confusion. If your business life is far from good then it is more than balanced by harmony at home. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Your mind is sharp and it is easy to spot problems before they arise. Some dispute regarding a trip is disappointing. However, you are not able to please everyone in this instance. A glitch in a close relationship needs sorting out now before things get worse. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Having been given a chance to take responsibility at the beginning of the month, you are determined to do your best. Certainly, it is a time to concentrate on any business matters which need attention.

Can We Live Here?: Finding a Home in Paradise

SPONSORED BY

While most of us complain when the price of beer goes up, or when we have to pay more than a fiver for a cocktail, there are some exclusive drinks that even the rich and famous would baulk at paying. Here we list the 10 most expensive alcoholic drinks.

Chateau d’Yquem.

GIVING up your full-time job and finding a new home in a far flung country on the other side of the world is clearly an adventure waiting to happen and Sarah Alderson’s account of her and her family’s search for a different lifestyle abroad is both intriguing and hysterical. In 2009, Alderson, her husband and young daughter spent eight months of their lives travelling through Australia, the US and Asia facing wild animals, witchcraft and a whole range of challenges and incidents that will make you laugh out loud. The result of her time spent overseas is this fascinating account of their adventures, which is both a travel blog and an instructional manual on how to follow your dreams in paradise and not just survive the experience, but enjoy it too. books@euroweeklynews.com

1. Tequila Ley .925 The world’s most expensive alcoholic drink is a type of tequila. But you won’t be licking salt off the back of your hand and knocking back a shot of this, since the cost of a sip will cost you your life savings, and more. While it is the 6,400 diamonds that are encrusted on the bottle that contribute to the $3.5 million price tag (€3,163,455), the tequila is said to be uniquely produced. So far, no one is known to have consumed it. No surprise there! 2. Henry IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Paying $2 million (€1,807,689) for a bottle of Cognac is ridiculous, even if it has been aged for 100 years and made by the same company as Tequila Ley. Naturally, you would expect an equally expensive looking bottle, a 24-carat gold and sterling platinum bottle is, quite frankly, the least the manufacturers could do to justify such a price. It is studded with 6,500 diamonds. 3. Diva Vodka Only very rich divas could afford this $1 million drink (€903,844), hence the name, and as well as the flashy bottle that has a column of Swarovski crystals running through the centre, the production process is special too. It is triple filtered, first through ice, then Nordic birch charcoal and finally sand and precious gems.

wine connoisseur, scoring a perfect 100, and will set you back $130,000 (€117,499). 8. Legacy by Angostura This $25,000 rum (€22,596) has an interesting background, being created especially to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the independence of Trinidad and Tobago. The crystal rum decanter, designed by Prince Charles’ jeweller Asprey’s, contains a mix of 17 year old rums. 9. The Winston Cocktail High street cocktails seem cheap compared to this one at $14,000 (€12,653). Created by world renowned bartender Salvatore Calabrese, this mix of Cognac Croizet 1858 Cuvee Leonie, Chartreuse Viellissement Exceptionellement Prolonge with Grand Marnier Quintessence and a drop of Angostura Bitters should taste exceptionally good at that price. 10. Vielle Bon Secours Ale Craft beers are becoming increasingly popular although most are significantly cheaper than this special Belgian beer. Brewed by La Brassiere Caulier, it costs $1,200 (€1084) for a 12-litre bottle but, fortunately, home delivery is included, just in case it slips from your fingers on the way home. The world’s most expensive beer contains eight per cent alcohol.

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

4. Dalmore 62 The list would not be complete without whisky, of course, and only 12 bottles of this particular blend have ever been manufactured. On sale for $215,000 (€194,326) it was recently sold at a Singapore airport where an anonymous man willingly parted with the cash for this treasure. 5. Armand de Brignac Midas This particular drink is at least generous in size, holding a hefty 30 litres of Champagne in an unusually designed golden bottle and has appeared in both a Jay-Z and a Beyonce video. Even if it is a mere $187,750 (€169,696), this is one bottle you would not want to drop. 6. Penfolds Ampoule If wine is your thing, rather than spirits, you could shell out for a glass of Penfolds Block 42 Kalimna Cabernet Sauvignon Ampoule. For $170,000 (€153,653) that is literally all you will get, a small glass in an expensive wooden box, so unless you can locate the 11 other ampoules that have been produced you are likely to remain stone cold sober. 7. 1811 Chateau d´Yquem The world famous Bordeaux vineyard of Chateau d’Yquem was first established in 1711, producing wine for the last 300 years.

Nastiness could have been avoided with a little humanity LIKE many others I am sure, this whole story in the Almeria edition last week, of the lost cat and dog held hostage would make me quite determined to avoid using such an establishment as these kennels in the future because of the arrogant attitude of the kennel owners. My parents used to run extremely successful boarding kennels in both England and Scotland before they retired, and would NEVER have asked for payment for any animal which had gone missing whilst under their care. It really is irrelevant to the poor elderly owner if there was a break-in, or a whether it was a case of the cat making a dash for it. She has lost her beloved pet and you have to do your best to make things a little better, if indeed you can. Things can happen that can’t be helped, but if the business is so terribly legal (as almost insisted upon), then why is there no insurance to cover such possibilities? The majority of kennels in the area are very strict about all vaccinations being up to date, and hold the animal passports as proof should an inspection take place. Don’t please, blame the owner if you fail to do this. As for the dog being held hostage thus running up an enormous bill, this was quite unfeeling, and in my opinion only a very bad business person would demand such a thing. All of this nastiness could have been avoided with a little humanity and common sense. ‘Josephine’ (SORBAS) By email

Beach hazard I AM writing to express my increasing concern over a major public health hazard. I live close to Playa Linda in Benajarafe, where we have a problem with unauthorised Beach camping. Every weekend throughout the long summer period several large families camp overnight on our local beach. There are absolutely no toilet facilities on this beach apart from those in two bars, which are ‘client only,’ and closed overnight. The police are a regular presence, but chose to ignore this illegal activity, as do the beach cleaners who pick up

I SEE in the headlines, that now is the time that it’s hardest to manage to get by on our money: Answer... Don’t spend so much. Easy for me to say as i am a pensioner, ‘the Lucky’ generation. Let’s make some comparisons between ‘the Lucky’ generation and today’s: Take the home we live in, compare the luxury furnishings and electrical appliances to those of ‘the Lucky’ generation. Today we have a 50 inch TV, music systems, wall to wall carpets, and central heating. In the kitchen, wow, you have to be a technical genius to boil a kettle. OK, no kettle, it comes out of the tap boiling. In the garage: A modern up-to-date car. Now let’s take a look at ‘the Lucky’ generation. The home was small, believe me it was cramped. The luxury furnishings, lino, you’ve probably never heard of it? It was usually an ugly brown, furniture was as it came, one design, take it or leave it, Colour? Yes you’ve guessed, brown. Music system: A two valve radio. TV, yes we had TV; second hand for £5. The kitchen was a delight, a very old gas cooker, that’s it. We only had cold water, if you wanted a bath, lots of kettles and sit in front of the fire in the front room. Our lighting was a gas mantle that used to give very little light. Only one jacket and trousers. So to the point: EASY, DON’T SPEND SO MUCH MONEY. Clive Graham, By email daily along this stretch. I have concerns with public health, as at the back of the beach in the vegetation there is a huge amount of human excrement, plus the attendant used tissue and also soiled disposable nappies and female sanitary items. This is very unpleasant to encounter when walking both from a visual, and sensual aspect. The smell is appalling. I have no problem with families enjoying the beach in this way but feel the town hall must be made to provide sanitation stations during this time. This beach is very popular and there are hundreds of families using it every weekend to the point it is packed solid. Campers apart, where are these people attending their ‘calls of nature.’ In the 21st century this lack of hy-

giene is unacceptable. Janet Saunders. Benajarafe. Malaga.

I’m ashamed Dear Editor, Re: Leapy’s article Having been out of action for a few days, I only saw Leapy’s article the other day, and it makes me ashamed to be British. As usual, he leaps in with all sorts of nonsense about how the immigrants are abusing our system, which is not true; we English made a pretty good job at that too! I suppose he hasn’t been anywhere near the camps, or the desperate meth-

ods used by those trying to get inside. How does he know what he is saying? He doesn’t! And what would difference would a precious few foreign nationals make. Let’s make a decision, to admit a fair number, along with the French, and stop forgetting our Christian duty to help others, Yours sincerely, William Campbell. Mojacár, by email

Lack of respect Hi Leapy Re: Immigrants I read with interest your article about the immigrants, I have been saying the same thing, what do you

think about the way manners etc. seem to have just disappeared, and I put it down to the general public don’t give a toss attitude. I think for a start that TV should clean its act up, it seems you can’t say ‘the N word’ on the box but you can use every expletive that comes to mind, and most of the time it’s not necessary. I think that camps should be set up to house asylum seekers as per your article, the next would be people that abuse nurses and teachers; there should be a minimum fine of £5,000 with no time to pay, if they can’t pay, two years in prison. The next is the lack of respect that is shown to people in authority, I know that the police have not helped their image, but they are the law and as such should be treated with respect. So I would reintroduce borstals for the joyriders, the burglars and general misfits, and those that don’t know when to keep their mouth shut, and would be run by the military police. Now we get into the drug dealers and pushers. These would be sent to high security camps run by the military police, these people would be fed a daily dose of their preferred drug until they were hooked, then left to dry out with no help. You could even make two years in the army punishment for certain crimes. The problem is the punishment never fits the crime, we need to bring back respect and consideration for other people, and their property. Did you know that in Spain, foul mouthing the police gets you a fine, and if you commit a crime they can put you in prison for years. As a last resort, there is always the cat.

Dogs are born to behave in a certain way as it is inherited ALL dogs will certainly have inherited behaviour via genetic pre-disposition and genetic memory

SO much depends on how your dog gets on in life. I thought it appropriate to write about ‘Inherited Behaviour’ because all dogs will certainly have inherited behaviour. The behaviour of dogs, like all animals gets inherited via genetic predisposition and genetic memory. Genetic pre-disposition towards certain

types of behaviour or attitudes in life are inherited at birth, much like the pre-programmed default factory settings you may find on a computer or TV when you buy it new. What they govern are things like a dog’s prevailing temperament, personality and the type of behaviour that comes instinctively to him when faced with different situations or events. As an example everything from how readily he will pursue prey to how confident, fearful or aggressive he will become in more testing situations and even how strongly he will emotionally attach to people making later separation issues in people more likely.

Poppy loves the water To find a pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on +44 (0)1865521508 POPPY the Collie Labrador cross enjoys playing in the pool. She loves water. Even when she was first adopted as a scrawny rescue puppy she would walk around the perimeter sniffing and pawing the water out of nervous curiosity. Now that she is older she dives in without any hesitation. Her owners Jeff and Annie also care for three other rescue dogs but none quite as daring as Poppy. In the summer the whole fur family needs care when Jeff and An-

nie go on holiday. Kennelling four dogs for several weeks twice a year can add up in costs; it restricts the holiday budget! Recently a friend recommended HouseSitMatch.com an online network for pet and home owners to find sitters to come to their home. So they planned ahead, registered on the site and created a profile describing all the responsibilities and asking experienced dog sitters to apply to housesit their dogs at home! Within a month they had four applicants and chose

someone who had cared for rescue dogs before. Unexpectedly, they chose two Australians who travel the world as international housesitters earning their living as bloggers online. And over three years of full time housesitting they’ve gained a lot of experience with all manner of domestic pets, dogs especially. The sitters cost nothing and cared for the pets in exchange for free accommodation. It’s a fair exchange and an affordable solution for Jeff and Annie.

peats a specific behaviour enough times, a ‘memory’ of this behaviour eventually get stored in its genes and cells, which is then passed down from one generation to the next. This is how birds know when to migrate or how to build nests without any other bird showing them. Or how sheepdogs know how to stalk and round up sheep without any other dog showing them. It is purely down to the effects of inherited genetic pre-disposition and memory. The same phenomenon is behind all different, and also far more genetically magnified working instincts found in different breeds of dog. In other words they are born with a certain inherited compulsion to behave in a specific way.

PEOPLES of the West are being conditioned to accept war Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

AS the US - NATO squares up to modern Russia, pouring servicemen and arms on to European lands, the main battlefields, (in the event of war) would undoubtedly be on European soil. Situated on a geopolitical fault line, similar to that of 1914/1940 France and Belgium, much of Europe could soon resemble Hiroshima circa 1945. Conflicts have nothing to do with idealism or defence. I believe all wars are trade wars financed by bankers; wars are profitable. Britain’s wartime premier conceded as much when, in Bern, 1960, he expressed himself with candour: ‘Germany’s unforgivable crime was its attempt to loosen its economy out of the world trade system and to build up an own exchange system from which the world finance couldn’t profit anymore.’ Nations that tried to duck the petrodollar system met a similar fate; Iraq, Syria and Libya. Today, the nation following the Reich example is the Russian Reich. Action replay: Russia,

The peoples of the West are being conditioned to accept war ‘to protect the world for democracy.’ Of this democratic process the unelected and unelectable Winston Churchill was contemptuous: ‘The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.’ Most now use the internet as their in-

formation highway. There are no longer frontiers between peoples, mainstream media now has competition and no longer is in a position to condition people for war. My earlier warnings are in keeping with those of an emerging erudite body of world opinion. It gives me no comfort to say prophecies that once brought scorn are now accepted as reality. The US is no longer the only world

power; yesterday’s empire, economists warn of a cataclysmic collapse of the US dollar during late September or early October. Europe faces a no-win situation; war to save the dollar or economic collapse? In the event of either it is estimated one billion people will experience unimaginable consequences.

THE terrible disaster at Shoreham airshow on August 22 killed at least 11 people and injured many others. While accidents of any sort can happen all too easily, this was not the first one to happen at Shoreham and the pilot of a World War II Hurricane airplane died in 2007 after crashing at the same show. Another airshow crash took place in Switzerland the day after Shoreham, killing a pilot whose plane crashed into a barn next to a home. Clearly then, air show stunts can be extremely dangerous. The UK claims to have some of the strictest regulations governing flying, yet despite those regulations different rules apply to air shows with some planes able to fly as near as 50 metres to the crowd. Also, the location of some air shows to major roads means that aerobatic manoeuvres can take place over busy, builtup areas. In the last five years there have been at least seven incidents at UK air shows, with four pilots killed as a result, and while neither spectators nor the public were victims of these accidents, steps need to be taken to prevent further tragedies. In the light of the terrible events at Shoreham and those incidents since 2010, wouldn’t it make sense to make a no-fly zone over busy areas to prevent such horror happening again?

THIRD incident involving the SVA in as many weeks

GIBRALTAR WATERS: The incident represented an extremely serious escalation of repeated Spanish violations.

THE GIBRALTAR and British Governments have taken very seriously allegations that the Spanish Customs Vessel SVA Aguila IV fired four shots at a local vessel fishing inside Gibraltar Territorial Waters last weekend. A government statement indicated that the Spanish vessel ordered the pleasure boat to stop its engines and then opened fire when the orders were not followed. The Spanish customs officers attempted to board the vessel, and allegedly threw bricks at the local

fishermen whilst they were taking action to evade the Spanish vessel. The Gibraltarian fishermen contacted the Royal Gibraltar Police who sent the Command Vessel the Sir Adrian Johns to investigate and when it arrived, members of the RGP boarded the pleasure craft and escorted it back to the Marine Station at Gun Wharf. The Chief Minister Fabian Picardo says this is the third incident involving the SVA in as many weeks, and represents an extremely serious escalation of the repeated Spanish violations of Gibraltar Waters.

He says the Spanish authorities have put the lives of innocent Gibraltarian civilians at risk and these are criminal offences in Gibraltar. The Foreign Office says it has protested the incursion to the Spanish government “at a high level,” adding it has also raised its “extreme concern” over the reported interaction between the Spanish and Gibraltarian vessels. The FCO adds it takes seriously any reports of attempts by Spanish law enforcement agencies to interfere with vessels in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters.

New Gibraltar bank note issued GIBRALTAR Chief Minister Fabian Picardo announced that a new £100 bank note would be put into circulation on Friday August 21, the

centenary of the birth of Sir Joshua Hassan, architect of modern Gibraltar. The design of this, the first £100 note ever to be

made from a polymer material carries a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an image of Sir Joshua on the other.

What exactly is Arthritis? ARTHRITIS - such a common diagnosis for so many people and so many joints. But what is it?

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com Arth - joint Itis - inflammation This can happen to any joint in the body - any point where two bones meet, and this includes each disc of the spine as well! Sometimes we are given more complicated names for specific joints or conditions: Osteoarthritis - when the cartilage within the joint has started to break down and the bones are affected. Spondylitis - arthritic changes in the spine (at the spondylitic joints) You might also be told that a joint

has “degenerative changes” or that you are “getting old” (sadly, I’m not joking!). What happens in an arthritic joint? The cartilage that acts as a cushion between the two bones starts to break down. Now cartilage has no nerve endings so it can take a LOT of damage before we feel any pain. Usually the pain starts when the cartilage has broken down enough that the bones are rubbing against each other. Once the bones start rubbing they also start to change and this is where the ‘osteo’ part begins. What can I do? There are a number of options depending on the exact situation: Relieve the pressure on the joint every step we take and action we

One of the most common examples is when you have a flat foot causing a twist through the ankle and knee. By properly supporting the foot we can

easily reduce the pressure and pain in the knee. Physiotherapy - by strengthening the muscles around the joint we can again reduce the pressure and use electro-therapies to bring down the painful inflammation. MRT - a German technology derived from Magnetic Resonance

Too much studying could damage your children’s eyes CONCERNS that young people will suffer later in life By Gemma Quinn TOO much studying and homework could lead to childhood short-sightedness; myopia, that can lead to serious eye diseases. Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurred, while close ones can be seen clearly and it often develops in childhood. It was thought that myopia was largely genetic, but a sharp increase in the number of children affected suggests that other factors may play a part. A study by the Population Health Research Institute at St George’s University of London has found that children at highly academic schools were more than two-and-a-half times more likely to develop the condition, MYOPIA: Causes distant objects to appear blurred.

leading researchers to conclude that school work could be a strong risk factor in myopia. Children are continually focusing on something close to them as they stare at school books and computers and their eyes get used to the short-sighted work. The study findings echo results from other research in East Asia, where

children are often pushed academically from a very young age, with a lot of children suffering from the condition. Sixty years ago, 10 to 20 per cent of the Chinese population was short-sighted but now up to 90 per cent of teenagers have myopia. There are concerns that being short-sighted can raise the risk to millions of young people suffering from eye conditions later in life such as glaucoma.

Fertility wake up call A nation of worriers LEADING expert said women should have checks at 25 A LEADING gynaecologist and fertility expert believes that women should have fertility checks at the age of 25 and that most 30-year-olds should consider freezing their eggs, almost as an insurance policy for later on. The doctor said all too often he sees women who have left it too late to try and conceive and face the devastating reality they may not be able to have a family. Changing your lifestyle habits however can help boost and prolong a woman’s fer-

tility so to improve your chances try avoiding the following: Smoking: It accelerates the rate of egg loss and is also often associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. Stress: Highly stressful situations can affect a woman’s hormones and resulting ovulation in the woman. Caffeine: High levels of caffeine consumption (the equiva-

lent of around five cups of coffee a day) have been associated with decreased fertility. Medications: Women on regular medication who want to fall pregnant should discuss with their doctor the treatment they are on as some medications can affect fertility such as anti-depressants and steroids. The expert said that fertility data shows women who want to conceive naturally need to start by the age of 32 at the latest if they want one child, earlier for more.

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS: Most common worry is work.

FREEZING EGGS: Can be used later on.

WORRYING can take up to five years of our lives as 86 per cent of Britons described themselves as worriers. Research revealed on average, nearly two hours every day is spent worrying or fretting over something, which

amounts to nearly 13 hours a week, or four years and 11 months across the average adult lifetime of 64 years. According to those questioned in the poll for a herbal remedy company, work was the most common thing peo-

ple worried about, followed by financial concerns and health issues. Relationships, missing a bus or train, appearance and family’s safety were also amongst the top common concerns.

Unfortunately it is also often the most neglected and under used, as many do not understand the complexities of the human body and how it depends heavily on the glutes to provide full structural support to the back, hips and knees. If you thought your bottom was just for sitting on... THINK AGAIN!

Regular runners take note: WEAK GLUTES WILL HINDER YOUR RUNNING PROGRESS if you are not combining

a strength training programme with your sessions. I have met many a runner with specific issues hindering their running performance. Once I put a glute/leg training programme in place they found that they were better able to perform their runs without the crucial glute muscles fatiguing, thus not causing other muscles to be over used and avoiding muscle damage and pain. Do You Have A Sedentary Job? Even if you regularly go to a gym, your glutes are simply not being activated for the majority of your day.

Milk in your tea can reduce teeth staining TANNIN in tea is what stains teeth By Gemma Quinn WANT whiter teeth? Then forget whitening toothpaste, simply add milk to your tea. A study has found that adding milk to your cuppa can stop teeth becoming stained and it was more effective than whitening toothpastes and just as good as some bleaching products. The researchers from Canada’s University of Alberta’s School of Dentistry said that the more the tea is processed or oxidised, the higher its staining properties are, but by adding milk, it reduces the ability to stain the teeth. It is the tea’s tannins, the water soluble compounds that cause the bitter flavour that can stain the teeth and the main protein in milk, binds to the tannins in tea and prevents stain-

ing. The research was published in the journal International Journal of Dental Hygiene and comes

after a study found drinking tea reduces the risk of dying from causes unrelated to the heart by a quarter compared with those who don’t drink tea.

The most international flavour in Puerto Banus QUALITY and innovation are the premises of the restaurant group consisting of Black & White, Aretusa, Carpaccio, La Marina and Mosaik4 in Puerto Banus MARBELLA is known worldwide for its climate, its beaches, its international vibe, and its cosmopolitan character. As a small corner on the Costa del Sol that is not lost on anyone, it's a point of the Iberian Peninsula that offers all the leisure opportunities of a large coastal and Mediterranean city. A place that brings so much cultural diversity could not be more complete without a wide and varied cuisine. Within this panorama BlueBay Gourmet was born in Marbella, part of the chain of international haute cuisine restaurants of BlueBay Group. The portfolio is composed of five restaurants of different culinary profiles, all located in the famous Puerto Banus. People of all nationalities come together in this sports marina in search of glamour and exclusivity of its shops, clubs and restaurants, among them Black & White, Aretusa, Carpaccio, La Marina and Mosaik4. With over 14 years of history, in the first line of Puerto Banus, Aretusa is the flagship restaurant of the group. With Italian and International cuisine with flavour, this cosy restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best options in the area. A few steps from Aretusa is the Carpaccio restaurant, winner of the 2014 and 2015 Award of Excellence by TripAdvisor. Carpaccio has become a benchmark of the best Italian cuisine in the Port. In its menu, you can find exquisite handcrafted pastas and the best pizzas baked in the stone oven on the Costa del Sol. On the other hand, Black & White, located in the most luxurious area of Puerto Banus, offers a completely new concept. A unique urban decor, delicious international cuisine and spectacular performances, all of it has made Black & White one of the most modern and unusual in the port with an extensive and varied menu of International cuisine. Opened in 2015, La Marina is already one of the most prominent places if you are looking for quality food and cuisine specialising in the Mediterranean and the sea. Last but not least: Opened in the summer of 2013, Mosaik4, Best International Cuisine 2014 Award by Primer Plato, an impressive place inspired by the diversity of culture, tastes and ages. International cuisine set in different spaces. Its stunning architecture attracts attention from the beginning and international culinary offer, accompanied by its lounge terrace and Sky Bar, have turned this place into a leader in the social life of Puerto Banus.

At Canto del Agua they understand good food SPECIALISTS in hot stone served meats By Steve Walsh IF you were asked, “Do you enjoy tasting exquisite food and good wine?” “Who doesn’t!” is most likely to be your answer. At Canto del Agua they understand that exquisite food and good wine is top of

everybody’s list when they seek a wonderful restaurant. Every now and again we want to arrange a lovely dinner for that ‘special one’ in our lives, or a delightful meal with our friends, or even to celebrate that special event. Restaurante ‘Canto del

Agua’ is a fabulous place to enjoy that night to remember with good company on their spectacular terrace, which, with its luxury furnishings and relaxed atmosphere lends itself as an ideal scenario for the romantic ones. Also, with their family orientated ethics, they have insured that children have as good a time as the adults. A children’s area is provided, so your ‘little ones’ can play to their heart’s content, while leaving you to enjoy the evening. If you feel like doing something a little different,

EXQUISITE FOOD: In a wonderful restaurant. you could try a wine tasting evening? You can delight your senses from their extensive wine cellar, and enjoy some of Spain’s finest wines. Or take part in one of the food tasting events.

Music is the soundtrack of our hearts and memories. You can make it the perfect weekend by soaking up their live music shows every Saturday and Sunday. See our advert on the left.

Seventh Anniversary for popular Classic Car Club THE CLASSIC Car Club of Andalucia was founded in September of 2008 and within 15 months had attracted 400 members who are all aficionados of classic cars, some of them personalities from the worlds of motoring and entertainment. The club organises monthly classic car runs as well as club-nights and get togethers which are well attended. The car runs are not only pleasurable for the participants but give the opportunity for locals and visitors to see some of the member’s cars which are becoming increasingly rarer. Members know how to celebrate and on Tuesday September 1 there will be a Club night and party at the terrace of the El Chaparral Golf Club in Mijas Costa with music organised by CCC member and musician Paul Reekers. Just four days later on Saturday will see the Classic car Run at 11am which will terminate at the Avanto Beach Club near La Cala. Tickets to these and future events are only open to club members. Membership is limited but if you are a classic car enthusiast who enjoys driving through the Andalucian countryside, tasting good quality food and wine in the company of other enthusiasts then you could do worse than looking at the club’s website www.cccandalucia.com to see whether you would benefit from membership.

Kids Cinema in Benahavis AS PART of the summer festivities organised by the Delegación de Cultura, Benahavis Town Hall, a pair of recent children’s animated comedies will be screened at the Plaza Del Pilar over two nights, at 9.30pm. Friday August 28 sees ‘Los Croods,’ the comedy of a family of cave dwellers, young and old. Saturday August 29, brings ‘Rio 2’ to the Benahavis screen.

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 regard as pots are not very successful, especially in the summer heat of Spanish gardens once temperatures rise above 20 degrees. For the past few weeks, 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, 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, horseradish, 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

BUILDERS BUCKETS: Work well for small scale vegetable and herb growing. garden’ launched in our book ‘Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain’ there are many benefits as described below. Twenty one proven benefits: 1. Small space required - You can build up a circle, square, oblong or row in one bucket units of just a quarter of a square metre. 2. High yield per square metre - Close planting works well and you have no unplanted areas and paths to worry about. 3. Speedy harvesting - If you chose vegetables regularly used

Is your bathroom in need of decoration? SUMMER may be coming to an end and your thoughts could be turning to autumn colour schemes in the house, but don’t forget there are other areas of the home that get forgotten. Did your bathroom get put to one side last time you redecorated? Or possibly it just needs a spruce up and you are short on design ideas? The bathroom might be the smallest room in the house, but it’s also one of the easiest to update, a fresh lick of paint, some new tiles or bathroom accessories is all you need. Local flea markets, boot sales and classified ads can be a frugal answer to getting that new look in your bathroom. Simply browsing what is on offer in these places can give you a theme idea for the whole room. For example, if you were to find a large mirror with an antique white plaster frame; it may inspire you to run with an ancient Roman or Greek bath theme throughout!

and co-locate the salad and ones for steaming for instance daily or twice daily harvesting takes just minutes. 4. Relatively inexpensive - If you hunt around, builders buckets are not expensive and second hand ones can be used if located. 5. Little waste, as number of plants controlled by your 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 just makes good initial soil/compost/manure mixes and top up between crops. 11. Low water wastage - no sideways losses to dry earth. 12. Circular support frames for tomatoes, peppers and beans etc., for strength. 13. Rare insect and fungal attacks - no major area of vulner-

able crops. 14. Companion plant - using mutually beneficial herbs and vegetables. 14. Instant filling of gaps to replace cleared crops - just pop in a few new plantlets from local market or garden centre. 15. Of interest - to owners and visitors. 16. Easy to move or reorganise - Nothing too heavy to pull around. 17. Feature or hidden away Part of mine is an island on the drive while other parts are in

Yes this expanded small scale vegetable growing really does work and not only in gardens, but also in small patios and on apartment terraces. My retreat from an 800 square metre allotment to raised beds and at present 20 builders buckets was driven by the increasing advent of thieving, increased cost of irrigation water, pollution of water by millions of weed seeds as the surrounding agricultural land was progressively abandoned, windblown chemical pollution from non-organic orchards, the moving of a Michelin starred restaurant away from the area -the prices they had paid for mini organic vegetables met our production costs several times, and to reduce my physical work as now nearing 79 years of age. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com August 2015

In those 24 years I have repaired 1,000’s of computers and peripherals, and maintained systems for all kinds of clients ranging from home users and small businesses, medium to large corporate clients, as well as most of the Government organisations, such as Police Stations, Army Barracks, Prisons, Hospitals, Court Houses, the Stormont Parliament Building, as well as all the various Education establishments,

Don’t gamble by skimping on insurance David Deverson GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL Insurance correspondent david@globelink.co.uk

HOLIDAYS are sacred, not least to us Brits, but a recent travel industry survey showed that most of us would sooner economise on gadgets, home improvements or eating out than cut back on our well-earned breaks. We are also taking longer holidays, even if that means cutting back on the number of trips we make. What’s more, we don’t mind splashing out on the extras that help turn a ‘ho-hum’ holiday into the stuff of memories. Travel companies have woken up to that fact and now let you tailor your trip with special add-ons. A mini-cruise here, a scenic train journey there, and it can soon add up to a sizeable splurge. Whether you’re travelling under your own steam or on a package, the chances are you’ll be paying upfront with more at stake if anything goes wrong. Suppose you’re injured and have to cancel your trip because you’re unfit to travel? What if your flight from Spain is delayed and you miss

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Don’t be caught out. your connecting flight out of the UK? Or a relative back home falls seriously ill and you have to cut your holiday short to be there? It’s human nature to think ‘it won’t happen to me,’ but if it does, you’ll certainly be glad you took out decent travel cover to shield you against the kinds of things that can and do happen out of the blue.

Do check your policy to make sure it fits the trip you’re planning, and consider taking out top-up cover if appropriate. Cancellation costs can be peanuts compared to the head-spinning financial risks involved if you run into health problems without proper cover. People generally underestimate the cost of medical treatment abroad, which has rocket-

ed in recent years. That’s especially true of Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Japan and the US, where hospital stays alone can cost around £2,500 per day. Even then, medical bills are often only the tip of the iceberg. At Globelink, we recently paid over £45,000 to repatriate one of our clients back to the UK following heart surgery in the US! One last thing I must stress: don’t wait until the last minute to book your travel cover, that’s just asking to be caught out. Remember too, single trip holiday insurance must cover the whole of your trip, from the date you leave your country of residence to the date you return. Don’t be tempted to book it from a friend’s address in the UK. Declaring you’re a UK resident when you live in Spain, it’s fraud. If you do make a claim, it won’t wash, but you could find yourself in pretty hot water!

SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 in fo@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.net (93321) At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-an imals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way.

New Bugatti Super Car to be made available to millions VIRTUAL version can be obtained by purchasing the next edition of Gran Turismo By John Smith

Production in UK falls THE number of cars produced in the UK declined by 11 per cent during July. Happily, this isn’t a major cause for concern as some plants are retooling for new models, which resulted in early annual shutdowns. In addition, the summer months historically see a slowdown in consumer demand for new cars.

NOW that the last Bugatti Veyron, number 450, has been sold at a price estimated at more than €1 millio n , th e c o mp a n y ha s turned its attention to the u n v e ilin g o f th e ne xt Bugatti super sports car, an d a n y o n e in th e w orld can own a version. Naturally, this is not the car itself, but a virtual version which can be obtained by purchasing the next edition of the highly successful and addictive Playstatio n v id e o g ame G ra n Turismo. First official sight of the new game and super sports car will be revealed at the 66th International Motor Show to be held in Frankfurt from September 17 to 27 and will no doubt attract huge interest.

Coast Classics perfection, precision and passion Ford 5-Window

RESTORING these beautiful machines with incredible attention to detail By Wendy Ann Cowham COAST CLASSICS have carved their name into the hearts of Classic Car lovers on the Costa del Sol, as they constantly strive for perfection when any Classic motor is in their hands. The passion for restoring these elegant and nostalgic motors comes from the team’s in-depth knowledge and understanding of the history of the cars. The skilled craftsmanship that Coast Classics apply to restore these beautiful machines comes with incredible attention to detail. It is because of this mark of respect for the cars that the owners use the services of Coast Clas-

sics time and time again. With over 30 years of experience, Andreas and his team have a glowing reputation, as word of mouth has spread fast about the care they take with each classic. At the moment Andreas and his team are busy with projects including a 1948 Cadillac Hearse, a 1933 5-Window Ford Hot-Rod, a 1965 Ford F250, and a 1966 Meyers Manx Dune Buggy which are being restored to their former glory. Other companies fail to meet the high standards required, which has led to some customers bringing in their cars to Coast Classics in order

to rectify mistakes that other amateurs have made. The team only use outsourced contractors for paint spraying, joinery or upholstery, and those which are specialists in their field. The backbone of their business and the secret of their success is due to great coordination through all stages of restoration, so all hands on deck are in tune during the process. Other services include body shop, engine construction, auto electronics, spare parts procurement, mechanics and tool construction, final assembly, finishing, sales and brokerage Earlier this year, Coast

Classics exhibited at the shows Techno Classica 2015 - Essen Germany and Retro Classics 2015 in Stuttgart Germany. In both fairs, Coast Classics participated with various classic cars built by them. One of the super cars was a very special 1969 Ford Mustang 428 SCJ which was painstakingly restored for an MCA judging over a four-year period, attaining the Gold Status Trailered Division.

Remembering the rules of the road in Spain

Cadillac Hearse

‘Most beautiful car ever made’

IF you do find yourself being fined, there is normally a discount if you pay quickly By John Smith THERE is often some confusion over the things that you need to carry in your car in Spain and apart from the obvious such as proof of ID, insurance and ownership, there are other things that are compulsory and can attract fines if ignored. Spanish registered vehicles with four wheels or more need to carry two warning triangles, although foreign registered cars need only carry one. In addition, if you wear glasses then you are required to have a spare pair available at all times. Apart from this, a high visibility jacket should be carried in the car and must be worn at all times in the event of a breakdown and exit from the vehicle. All British registered cars need to have a GB sticker if their number plate doesn’t

contain the EU identifier and if right hand drive, lights must be converted so that they do not blind oncoming cars. It is illegal for a driver to use a mobile phone in the car unless it is fitted with a hands-free kit and radar detectors are banned, although GPS systems which plot the location of cameras are still allowed. The rules are fairly simple, but if you do find yourself on the wrong end of a fine, there is normally a significant discount if you pay quickly.

BREAKDOWN RULES: Spanish registered vehicles must carry two warning triangles.

E Type Jaguar

THESE were the words of someone whose opinion is worth considering, Enzo Ferrari commenting on the launch of the E Type Jaguar in 1961. Initially the car was released for export but was soon made available for sale in the UK where it found a large number of interested customers. Produced from 1961 to 1975, various versions saw a number of improvements but the basic line, beauty and performance of the car remained. With celebrity purchasers including George Best, George Harrison, Tony Curtis and Twiggy, the E Type will always be remembered as one of the great British cars and an example is even in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

GOLDEN BOY: Michael Conlan is the brother of MGM’S Jamie Conlan.

Champion visits MGM WILL appear at ‘Lights out at the Plaza’ evening THE Commonwealth and European gold champion, Michael Conlan, will be visiting MGM next weekend. The younger brother of MGM’́s Jamie Conlan is Belfast’́s current golden boy after winning the gold medal at the European Championships in Bulgaria last week. He was also awarded the best boxer of the championship. Conlan is still looking to add World Champion and Olympic gold to his triumphs before turning

professional but MGM look forward to having him here. He plans to do some training with his brother and will also be attending the sold out professional show ‘Lights out at the Plaza’ to cheer on the MGM boys and supporting Aspandem at the White Collar show on August 29. “Jamie’́s told me great things about the gym and the team,” said Michael “so I’́m looking forward to experiencing it for myself.”

Costa de Almeria

FOOTBALL - Bournemouth, with a Callum Wilson hat-trick, beat West Ham 4-3 at Upton Park to record their first-ever win in top flight football... this after being denied something at Anfield five days earlier! Chelsea, who had John Terry sent off, won 3-2 at West Brom where Spain’s Pedro scored on his debut for the Blues; Manchester City triumphed 2-0 at Everton; Crystal Palace pipped

Aston Villa 2-1 and there were draws involving Leicester-Spurs (1-1), Manchester United-Newcastle (0-0), Norwich-Stoke (11), Watford-Southampton (0-0) and Sunderland-Swansea (1-1). Arsenal played Liverpool on Monday. Ipswich Town lead the Championship from Brighton; Gillingham and Leyton Orient (four wins out of four) are top of Leagues One and Two; Hearts and Celtic stand one-two in the SPL and unbeaten Rangers (1-0 victors over Hibs) lead Queen of the South in the Scottish Championship. Earlier this week Celtic (3-2 up) played Malmo in Sweden and Manchester United (leading 3-1) met Brugge in Belgium in the return legs of their CL playoff games, while tonight

Southampton (1-1) meet Midjitlland (away) in the second leg of their Europa League encounter. And there may have been a few upsets in the League Cup on Tuesday involving ties between Villa-Notts County, Burton-Middlesbrough, BuryLeicester, Crystal PalaceShrewsbury, HartlepoolBournemouth, Luton-Stoke, Sunderland-Exeter, WolvesBarnet and WBA-Port Vale. Everton visited Barnsley last night.

thrashing New York City 5-1. • My condolences go out to the family and friends of the two Worthing United players who were killed in Saturday’s horrific air crash at Shoreham, Sussex. CRICKET - Australia beat England by an innings and 46 runs in the fifth and final Test at The Oval, but Alastair Cook’s men still won the series threetwo to reclaim the Ashes and win the little urn for the fourth time in a row on home soil. The ‘Player of the Series’ and now the world’s number one batsman, was England’s Joe Root, while the Aussies’ top man was the retiring Chris Rogers whose captain Michael Clarke has also announced his retirement from the international scene. ATHLETICS - Three years

Bigger and better golfing competition THOUSANDS of golfers participate Getting in the swing with Campbell Lamont

By Tony Myles THIS is the fifth year for The Campbell Lamont Golf Leagues, which started as a local competition for golf societies and quickly expanded into a major event in the amateur golf calendar. Because of the instant success Campbell decided to offer it to other areas within Spain and inside one year several thousand golfers had responded. This solid base of competitors provided the launch pad for further expansion and just last year Campbell

introduced his Golf Leagues to societies in Scotland and Wales increasing the number of players to well over 10,000. The latest news is that Iceland (no not the frozen food company) have now taken this competition very seriously and so hundreds of Icelandic golfers are now eager to qualify. The universal interest in the competition means that over the next year or so it will be introduced to 16 different countries throughout Europe. Why is it so popular? Let’s start at the end and work backwards. The “All Expenses Paid” Grand Final will be held at the La Sella Golf resort in the Costa Blanca. This venue features one of the premier golf courses in Spain and has proven an excellent test of golf for players of all handicaps. It will involve four rounds played over Saturday and Sunday. The winners will receive an abun-

Each of the 16 pairs who reach the Grand Final will be hosted at the five star Denia Marriott hotel for the duration of their stay. This will include breakfast and evening meals with the exception of the Saturday evening when they will be free to travel into any of the local towns. Everyone will be invited to attend the Gala Dinner on the Sunday, which will include the presentations to the winners and runners-up. So what is the catch? What is the entry fee? * Entry into this competition is restricted to groups of 12 or more

golfers who play regularly and adhere to a recognised handicap system. * Each group must register their intention to compete and provide details of their members who will make up their teams. * There are no additional overheads as the group will merely label four or more of their regular events as Campbell Lamont League Qualifiers. * Having completed the qualification series within the group the names of the top two players are then confirmed to the organisers who will notify the group of any local and national preliminary rounds. * There is no entry fee.

In summary 1. Register your team. 2. Play your regular games. 3. Determine your winners. 4. Advance to the Regional Finals. 5. Come to the 5 Star La Sella Golf Resort, Spain in June for an all-expenses-paid golf-fest. Register now at www.clgolfleagues.com
