Gridlock as angry cabbies protest MALAGA sees 4,000 taxi-drivers descend on the city

Malaga City ground to a halt as more than 4,000 angry taxi-drivers from across Spain and hundreds of protestors on foot descended on the city to fight for their rights.

The action was called by three local taxi associations, Aumat, Taxi-Union and Tamat, with the express support of the FAAT Andalucian Taxi Federation, yesterday morning (Wednesday).

Taxis from as far afield as Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia

took to the streets against what they say is a mortal blow to the public taxi sector.

Independence or Statehood

RALLY: Pro-independence supporters march through the streets of Barcelona.

With a population of 5.5 million voters, the election held on September 27 could have far-reaching effects on Spain itself.

The pro-independence parties have won 72 seats out of 135 and although they only received 1.9 million votes out of the four million cast, they consider that this gives them a mandate to declare independence from Spain.

dependence through the courts and the EU has indicated that Catalonia would not be granted immediate membership, would have to leave the Eurozone and would have to apply for membership of Schengen.

The pro-independence response is that within 18 months, Catalonia will be ready to declare independence and have the entire necessary infrastructure in place.

It does seem a pipe-dream but the Spanish elections have to be held by the end of 2015 and it is a brave government that completely ignores so many votes which could easily be lost if it becomes too belligerent.

Now that the election has been resolved the pro-independence parties seem to be ready to compromise by opting for statehood which would allow Catalonia’s inclusion in a Spanish federal framework.

EMERGENCY services spent yesterday morning, Wednesday 30, searching for signs of a 25-year-old British man believed to have been swept away by the Guadalmedina river in Malaga City during a heavy storm in the early hours.

The homeless man was sheltering under the Tetuan bridge when he was swept away as the river swelled at about 2am, acquaintances reported.

An intense search by helicopters, police dogs, fire brigade teams and divers, was called off at lunchtime as there was no sign of the man.

Mijas residents enraged at mistreatment of donkey VIDEO of man beating and kicking his donkey has gone viral on social media sites THE recent uproar over the mistreatment of a donkey in Mijas has caused hundreds of people to give vent to their anger on social media.

Mijas, in the heart of the Costa del Sol, is famous for its ‘burro taxis’ known as donkey-taxis. The donkeys wait to take passengers around the village so that they can get a flavour of this ancient mode of transport.

The donkey-taxi rides originated in Mijas in the early 1960s, when workers returning to their homes on their donkeys were approached by tourists who were fascinated by the animals and wanted to take photographs. This sparked a business prospect for the locals as the tourists would often pay to get a ride on the donkeys.

As the years went on, the business took off and created jobs. Today, donkey taxis are an institution and moneymaking tourist attraction in Mijas. They are loved by visitors and without their interest, the donkey-taxi would not exist.

However, all that glisters is not gold, as recently a local has been caught on camera kicking and beating his donkey.

The video has gone viral and sparked anger amongst the public who feel that something should be done to stop this kind of animal cruelty.

The Donkey Sanctuary international charity has been strongly campaigning against the use of donkeys in the Peropalo festival in Villanueva de la Vera since 1986. A petition letter that was sent to the government in 2014 revealed the inhumane treatment of the donkeys, and also stated: ‘This festival is an unnecessary excuse to exert power over an innocent and defenceless creature, and it is appalling that such an event still occurs.’

The government has indicated for years that it would regulate the treatment of these animals, and punish those who mistreated them. However, even today, people from Mijas still witness cruel beatings of the animals, which get brushed under the carpet.

A local resident has started a petition on change.org to demand that Mijas Town Hall does something about the situation with the donkeys, which, at the time of writing, has already gathered almost 1,000 signatures.

MONEY-MAKING ATTRACTION: Donkey-taxis were first introduced to Mijas in the 1960s.

Meanwhile, local political groups, the PP and Podemos, have been quick to express their disgust at the incident, which occurred just metres from the town hall building, and have voiced their intention to demand measures to protect the animals.

As mentioned, donkey-taxis date back to the 60s; however, let’s not forget that there were many things that went on in that decade which society has now put a stop to. Prime examples are driving without seatbelts, smoking in buildings, drink-driving, and riding motorbikes without helmets. Today, we can appreciate the implications of carrying out those activities, so perhaps it is time to stand up and put a stop to the donkey-taxi business, too.

The video which has brought the donkey matter to a head was made by Mark Bajerski, who is a 10-year resident of Mijas Pueblo and runs the

Healer of Hearts centre, which helps people to meditate and centre their lives.

He doesn’t want to be seen as causing trouble for his neighbours but his convictions do mean that he feels very upset when he sees animals who don’t

seem to be receiving decent treatment.

In a conversation with the Euro Weekly News, he made it clear that he fully understands that the donkey-taxis are providing a living to the owners and drivers and that their very existence does help the economy of the village.

Mark doesn’t want to deprive anyone of their livelihood but equally wants to ensure the animals are happy.

To this end, he says that he is not a ‘protester’ but someone who is propeace in all of its forms.

He hopes to be able to obtain permission from the Local Police to arrange a Pro-Peace Donkey Walk through Mijas to the town hall where he will hand in a petition signed by 7,000 people asking for a change in the way in which the donkeys are used.

What he suggests is not radical and is meant to be workable for the ‘taxi drovers’, which in the long run could make their lives easier and possibly in-

crease their income as well.

There are four main areas where the donkeys could be helped. Firstly, there should be a weight limit for passengers and ideally only children should actually ride on the animals whilst adults could be photographed for a fee beside them, but not on them.

Secondly, the donkeys should not be tied, nose to pillar as they need some space to be donkeys and they should be kept in the shade with some straw to lie down on when not ‘performing’, and of course they need to be kept clean.

Thirdly, whilst they have a bit of extra space, let them be petted and fed by children. They are not vicious animals and enjoy human company so would benefit from a positive atmosphere and the owners could make a profit from making them available and selling their food.

The final suggestion would be for a team of volunteers to be appointed as wardens to make sure that the animals are being looked after properly during the day and that at night their quarters are clean and reasonably spacious.

The first hurdle is to obtain permission for the Pro-Peace March but if anyone wants to join in, once a date is fixed, do keep an eye on Mark’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/Healerof-Hearts-Centre.

What do you think? Please let us know by emailing editorial@euro weeklynews.com EWN received the following email from a reader, which is slightly edited: As a professional equine podologist and equine behaviourist, I offered my professional services to Mijas Tourist and Environment Department via email. The donkey situation needs to be resolved ethically, not prohibited. We all know they will have a far worse end, being left to starve to death most likely, if they do not earn their keep.

Neither department has responded to my mail! I explained how I could teach them correct hoof care, apt for tarmac and concrete, weight limits, tack inspection, and providing the five liberties all animals are entitled to.

Maybe they have found another, similar service to employ, but a ‘thanks, but no thanks’ is always good, given the political, as well as ethical, situation this has bought about!

‘Full of joy and playful’ puppy is taken from homeless man!

PEOPLE are now demanding that the animal is returned to its owner with compensation

By Johanna Scanlan ON September 19, 2015, members of the French animal rights activists group ‘Cause Animale Nord’ were caught on camera stealing the puppy of a homeless man on the streets of Paris which has aroused indignation from the public. Shortly after witnessing this distressing scene, a bystander posted a video of the act online where it received over 1.8 million views in the following five days.

In the video, two members of the activist group are shown subduing the homeless man before trying to grab the man’s puppy. During the segment, the man is seen wailing as he tries to get his dog back, before a third member of the activist group grabs the puppy and runs off; after which the homeless man chases after them while leaving all his possessions behind.

The video of the scene was immedi-

CRUELLY TAKEN: The homeless man’s puppy. ately posted on the internet by a witness who said he was “shocked” by what he saw. A petition, launched on change.org, is demanding an investiga-

tion into the operation of the Northern animal Cause Association. The petition has beaten audience records of 200,000 signatures in just 72 hours.

Cause Animale Nord are facing severe public backlash as nowhere in the group’s rules states that they have the right to remove any animal without notice. However, that is what they did by violently attacking a homeless man to take his pet.

To justify this act of extreme violence, the activists allege that the homeless man is a ‘Roma’ and that the animal was drugged. However, as of

September 23, the dog was made available for adoption, and costs €195, strange for an animal allegedly ‘drugged’ which also has not been seen by a veterinarian.

Many people are demanding that sufficient evidence should be provided which proves the animal was drugged.

The change.org petition went on to state: “We demand that this animal is returned to its owner with compensation.”

Antony Blanchard, the group’s chairman said he has received death threats since the video was posted.

Although French based, the Cause Animale Nord group takes an interest in cross border affairs and has been very much involved with Spanish animal rights groups demanding better treatment of the Galgos breed of dogs and has been known to demonstrate with their Spanish counterparts on the streets of Spain.

Irish gangster shot at Costa complex AN IRISH gangster, Gary Hutch, was shot to death, allegedly by a hitman, outside his mother’s flat in Miraflores, Mijas Costa, on Thursday (September 24).

Just one week after a Colombian man was shot to death from a passing motorbike in La s La guna s , the bruta l murde r initia lly sparked fears that the crimes were linked although that does not appear to be

the case at present.

The second vi ct i m , Hutch, was known to have links to the Kinahan crime cartel in Spain and was the nephew of former criminal Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch.

Last sighted in Dublin in February, he was believed to be lying low between the Costa del Sol and Amsterdam fearing for his life after suggestions he was the intended target of a shooting

l ast year whi ch i nj ur ed a boxer wi t h no l i nks t o crime.

The 34-year-old Irishman had already experienced a near miss when a car he was travelling in was shot at in Estepona in 2008.

Described by his neighbours at the Miraflores complex as “pleasant but kept himself to himself,” Hutch appeared in a Spanish court in November 2012 on various drug-trafficking charges.

He was subsequently arrested in Holland in 2014 under a European Arrest Warrant in relation to an alleged armed robbery.

Now, the authorities are on al er t f or m ovem ent of henchmen who, according to the Irish press, the Gardai fear will now be heading for Dublin to settle scores following Hutch’s murder.

Health system ‘coming apart at the seams’ UNION claims Malaga Province has worst beds to inhabitants ratio

NEWS

Syrian asylum seekers arrive in Malaga

By Eleanor Hawkins COMISIONES OBRERAS (CCOO) trades union has presented a new report on Malaga Province’s public health system, which it claims is falling apart at the seams.

Over the last three years, public hospitals in the province have lost 370 beds, the equivalent to a hospital of a similar size to the Costa del Sol centre in Marbella, the report reveals.

This drop, said Rafael Gonzalez Delgado (CCOO Health Secretary in Malaga), has resulted in a ratio of just 15.48 public hospital beds per 10,000 inhabitants in the province, well below the Andalucian average of 18.30 and a far cry from the national ratio of more than 20 per 10,000 people.

“As Spain has the worst ratio in Europe, we can safely say Malaga is one of the worst areas in the EU,” Gonzalez Delgado stated.

To get on par with regional averages the province would need another 459 beds, and to match national levels a new hospital of a

no good any more.”

CCOO representatives have declared that unless the Junta de Andalucia regional government takes urgent steps to improve the situation the union will call protests.

The refugees will stay at the charity shelters for si x t o ni ne m ont hs and then be given the choice of moving on - many aim to reach Germany or Austria - or remaining in Spain.

Those who deci de t o stay in Spain will receive help from the Red Cross for another 24 months, with the focus on helping them to integrate.

Man arrested after escape attempt fails A MAN has been arrested in Los Barrios after trying to escape when the Guardia Civil spotted him unloading drugs from a boat and crashing his motorbike into a police car.

After spotting a boat off Punta Carnero, Guardia Civil

patrols were sent out to possible unloading areas along the coast, the police force reported. The boat, which was later found to be carrying 2,250 kilos of hashish, headed for the mouth of the Guadarranque river, where

it ran aground.

As a patrol approached, the man was seen trying to unload packages from the boat, and then attempted to flee on a motorbike but crashed into the police car and injured himself.

Child molester jailed A MAN has been jailed for seven years for sexually abusing three young girls in a Marbella park and trying to do the same with a fourth, who managed to run away.

A Malaga Provincial Court also banned him from approaching his victims, aged between

nine and 12, for six years and awarded them €1,000 each in damages.

The judge decided that there was no reason to suspect they had lied as they did not know their attacker or each other, and there were no contradictions in their statements.

Three caught with drugs THREE men were arrested on Malaga City’s Calle Larios on Sunday, September 27, carrying more than four kilos of hashish and two lumps of rock cocaine.

After following the men, aged between 31

and 35, as they seemed to be acting suspiciously, Local Police officers searched a rucksack they were carrying and found the drugs stashed inside. Along with the drugs, the officers confiscated two mobile phones and €107 in cash.

Dining out at CIBO with Antony Worrall Thompson THIS is the first of a planned series of interviews with celebrities at CIBO on the Golden Mile, although regularity will depend on who is visiting and when.

WE met the utterly charming couple who were kind enough to spend several hours tasting the food and sharing their stories with us. They were quite fascinating with few ‘airs and graces’.

Jay (short for Jacinta) and Antony have been married for 21 years and have two children, Toby who is studying at Durham University, and Billie, who has just started Art College. They don’t see either of the children joining them in their restaurant business, at least not at this stage.

Antony, who started work in Essex after college, laughingly refers to the fact that his elderly and rather aristocratic grandmother refused to write to him because she could not bring herself to write the word ‘Essex’ on the envelope.

He soon progressed through the kitchens and became Head Chef at a London restaurant before spending some time working - and eating - his way around France.

When he returned to the UK, he worked in another prestigious restaurant before opening the ground-breaking Ménage à Trois, which was at the forefront of the wave of Nouvelle Cuisine restaurants, serving only starters and desserts.

As Britain emerged from the land of Berni, Steak Houses and Wimpy, his name became very well-known through TV appearances both in Ready Steady Cook and his own programmes, and he can be considered as one of the first ‘celebrity chefs’.

Over the years, he admits he lost sight of his true vocation, which is being a hands-on chef, preparing dishes for people who enjoy quality food and writing books about healthy living.

Now his realm consists of two restaurants, which he can devote most of his time to.

There is the Kew Grill, a stone’s throw from Kew Gardens, which is managed for the couple, but each of them is there at least one day a week.

His other restaurant is technically a pub, the Greyhound in Henley-onThames, which is where he and Jay spend most of their time, with Antony cooking most nights.

Having covered his restaurant history, we concentrated more on the personal side of the couple’s lives.

They love the Spanish lifestyle and about 14 years ago decided to purchase

Jay and Antony sample the menu at CIBO. a property near Mijas Pueblo but the owner of the first one they were due to buy found out who they were and put the price up by €50,000, so they pulled out.

The house they did buy has 300 avocado trees plus other fruits and vegetables for their own use. The avocadoes are sold through a local co-operative which helps to pay for the hard-working staff who look after the property and grounds whilst they are away.

This fits in well with their previous home in the UK, which was almost a farm and at one time they had more than 300 rare breed Middle White pigs.

Something that the family insisted on was that if a pig was named then it was not to be killed.

Whenever possible they like to come to Spain - about six times a year - but they also enjoy other parts of Europe, especially France where they always try to find a decent chateau in a wellknown wine-growing area where they can discover new wines or revisit some old favourites.

As we had by then moved on to the matter of food and drink and were tasting some of the fine Italian dishes on the CIBO menu, the discussion turned to who did the cooking at home and what sort of food they enjoyed.

According to Antony, as he is so fond of cooking, he undertakes the lion’s share, ably assisted by Jay, who

was prepared to accept the post of souschef, although Antony insisted that she is a fine cook in her own right.

They enjoy cooking market-bought produce and anything that is genuine as opposed to being very ‘cheffy’ although he admits to loving gadgets and has just obtained a Big Green Egg grill (inspired by NASA technology) which amongst other things allows him to smoke his own meat.

Wine is a favourite with the absolute top red being Vega Sicilia L’Unico from Ribera del Duero, which they only drink sparingly when they are feeling extravagant. They also like Italian wines, especially those from Antinori, whilst we drank a very simple but enjoyable Pinot Grigio blush at CIBO. We asked Antony about his favourite

and least favourite chef. He had no hesitation in saying that he was great friends with and an admirer of Rick Stein and he also mentioned Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall who ‘cooked from the heart’.

Without being malicious, he admitted that he wasn’t Gordon Ramsay’s greatest fan but then added that they had recently enjoyed a first-class meal at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, and was very complimentary about Clare Smyth, the Head Chef.

As far as restaurants on the Costa del Sol are concerned, the couple had visited CIBO for the new Sunday lunch and found the beef to be top quality. They also liked Giral in Los Boliches and Mirlo Blanca in Mijas near the bullring.

There seemed to be a slight delay when asked if they would open a restaurant in Spain. They admitted that they had considered it but had decided against it for two reasons: one because they didn’t really understand the Spanish way of business and suspected that the bureaucracy would be too much for them.

Secondly, they had learnt from experience that unless you devote the bulk of your time to the restaurant, then it has every chance of failing.

It was fascinating to hear that in their view the most important thing that a customer was looking for in a restaurant was consistency. They close both

of their restaurants after Sunday lunch and don’t open again until Wednesday so that their staff are rested and the same people are available to cook the same food.

They are in business to make money but aren’t looking for huge returns, which means that although Antony serves Wagyu beef, he prices his steak at far less than many other restaurants do, because he wants a certain cash return per cover rather than a percentage of cost which other restaurants work to.

Nowadays, Antony wants to help people to cope with years of unhealthy eating. Generations have been taught to eat badly and you can’t change things overnight. He speaks highly of what Jamie Oliver is trying to achieve but feels he wants to see things happen overnight, which is unrealistic.

Author of 32 books, most recently dealing with health and diabetes, he wants to educate rather than preach and hopefully explain how to produce food that not only tastes good but is good for you as well.

During the evening we tasted a range of the food served at CIBO and asked Antony and Jay for their uncensored opinion. The result was very positive and they found it a pleasant experience overall.

The Meat Plate and Steak Tartare were absolutely delicious although the melon served with it should have been riper. The bruschetta was good but too large a portion and the combined prawn/calamari version should have been served hot.

Scallops with pancetta were perfect and considered the best dish, and the fish pasta caused some difference of opinion with Jay thinking it a bit confused and salty whilst Antony said he enjoyed it.

There was a very good, crisp pizza which whilst not perhaps the best they had ever tasted was still more than acceptable and they had adapted it to suit Jay’s taste. There was lobster ravioli which had a very strong flavour but the wrapping was a bit thick in their opinion.

The only real criticism was that there wasn’t a wide enough range of Italian desserts or cheeses but overall the restaurant made a very good impression, which coming from a man who had 36 restaurants under his apron strings at one time, is praise indeed.

Car dealerships caught cheating!

BUYERS could be in with a chance to claim money back

By Eleanor Hawkins

Consumers’ association on the case.

HAVE you bought a new car in Spain between 2006 and 2013? You may be in with a chance to get some of your hard-earned cash back as the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) has found 147 dealerships guilty of overcharging buyers.

The dealerships, selling well-known brands including Opel, Toyota, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Land Rover, Citroen, Mitsubishi, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Ford, Honda, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and Lexus vehicles, have been fined more than €170 million by the CNMC but have kept quiet about the fact that buyers may be eligible to claim damages.

According to OCU consumers’ association, those who bought cars from the 147 dealers missed out on discounts due to price-pacts which went directly against consumer rights and free competition, and they can take their case to court and demand between €750 and €1,500 in damages.

OCU, a private, independent non-profit consumers’ association, has set up a system

Chelsea Greene, Alhaurin El Grande’s pop queen!

E

ARLIER this year, Chelsea Greene left home in Alhaurin El Grande, Malaga, and embarked on a journey to the UK to a nationwide audition for a new girlband.

Office Girls UK was being promoted by Ellis Rich, OBE, the former boss of Simon Cowell, who previously owned the biggest music publisher company in Europe. His partner, Marvin Howell, had promoted the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Blondie, Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, and Enrique Iglesias, so she knew this could be her big opportunity.

The management stated that Chelsea was great but they could not

EWN EXCLUSIVE take her on as they had already chosen the girls for the band. Chelsea was very disappointed; nevertheless, when she returned to Spain, she was offered a leading role in a musical revue with Medplaya Hotels in Spain, which she accepted.

Fate soon took a hand, however, when Chelsea then received an email from Rich and Howell telling her that one of the girls had left and could she fly back immediately to the UK and replace her. She was released from her commitments in Spain and made her way back to the UK to await her destiny.

Within two days of joining the Office Girls UK, they were performing at the YouTube Con-

vention at London’s ExCel Centre, promoting their recently released single, Dirty Work.

The response was unbelievable and within days they had 25,000 views. They continued the promotion with flashmobs at Liverpool Street Station, Compton Street, Carnaby Street and the Notting Hill Carnival. They were going from strength to strength.

Unfortunately, the girls’ social media accounts were blocked, which the police said was a ‘hate crime’. This resulted in the band losing all followers on YouTube, including big celebrity names such as Perez Hilton, Labyrinth and Alan Carr.

Chelsea is a very down-to earth-girl who loves to ‘give back’ to charities. She has been performing in care homes her whole life and animals have a very special place in her heart.

When asking Chelsea where she saw herself in two years, she replied: “Touring the world and in the charts. But once I have made enough money, I would love to give some to animal charities.”

Chelsea has three rescue dogs called Freddy, Bruno and Shiva.

scribes herself as ‘spontaneous, quirky and fun’, she stated that the longest she had ever lived away from home was six years, and that she has a very close relationship with her mum, whom she used to sing with. Chelsea said that if she were to become famous and tour the world, she would invite her mum to go with her.

Chelsea is an all-rounder; she loves all types of sport, but especially skiing, which she does with her mum. When talking to Chelsea’s mum, Michele, she said Chelsea “ is really independent, she cooks, she cleans and always gives a helping hand around the house.” However, when asked about Chelsea’s bedroom, that was a different story. Michele remarked: “There are times when Chelsea hangs her clothes on the floor,” something all girls can relate to!

Once I have made enough money, I would love to give some to animal charities”

The quirky singer, whose favourite band is Queen, has a unique style and admits that she buys her clothes from charity shops.

The Office Girls UK have come fighting back and now have all their accounts up

and running again. But, they are desperate for more followers to make their dream come true. Fans have described them as being the new Spice Girls as they are all known for standing up for Women’s Rights and equality in the workplace.

Chelsea was educated at St Anthony’s International College, Mijas, after being home-schooled by her entertainer parents.

They had travelled the world and Chelsea was known as the ‘World’s Youngest Singing Baby’ before settling down in Alhaurin El Grande.

The singer, serving a sentence for money-laundering at Alcala de Guadaira women’s jail, had applied for her release based on changes to Article 80 of the Criminal Code, and claiming that she was repentant and that her sentence had served

Reaching out to the Japanese CATERING to their needs seen as crucial

By Eleanor Hawkins THE Costa del Sol wants to tap into the growing Japanese tourism market and attract more visitors from the country by adapting to their particular needs and requirements.

Almost half a million tourists came to Spain from Japan last year, and 26,000 of visited Malaga Province and were especially drawn to Ronda and Mijas, leading Tourism Costa del Sol to formulate an ambitious €600,000 plan to attract even more of them.

It includes 60 measures to make Japanese travellers, known to be particular about what they want while on holiday, feel at home.

Adapting menus and portion sizes, avoiding being too chummy, providing damp towels before meals, maps, flasks of hot water and slippers in hotel rooms and offering rooms with baths rather than showers are just a few of the ideas proposed, along with adding Japanese signs and drawing up specific tourist routes, safety campaigns and promotional campaigns in Japan.

Claims family put Ashya at risk BOARD has recommended therapy now be considered

ASHYA: With his family celebrated his impressive recovery at a party in Marbella in June.

By Eleanor Hawkins A NEW report by UK social services has stated that young cancer patient Ashya King’s parents put him in danger by removing him from a Southampton hospital last year without doctors’ authorisation and bringing him to Spain.

Brett and Nagmeh King brought their five-year-old son Ashya to Malaga last August while looking for an alternative solution for their son after being denied proton beam therapy

at the British hospital, sparking an international search which resulted in them being arrested.

The Portsmouth Safeguarding Children Board’s report claims that the young boy was put at risk of serious harm had anything untoward happened with regard to the nasogastric tube which fed him and that the journey to Prague, where he eventually received the successful treatment, must have been difficult and could have had significant consequences if anything had gone wrong.

Mr and Mrs King, who recently spoke of how well their son was progressing and said they were glad they had fought for proton beam therapy, which they had been denied in the UK, told Sky News they had seen the report but had agreed with Portsmouth City Council that neither side would comment on its findings.

The Portsmouth board has also recommended that in the future families who ask for proton beam therapy be routinely referred for consideration.

On the evening of September 28, Malaga airport was using Runway 13. This is the southerly runway going out to sea. No second runway was in use, as normal, although it is quite safe to use both the runways when traffic is in this direction.

As the Ryanair plane slowed down on the runway it missed the second from last high speed turn off to the taxiway (normal for these types of aircraft to use) and had to stay on the runway until it reached the last turn

off. The controller appeared to have missed this potential problem and released a Vueling Flight Number VY2112 for take off, with the Ryanair still on the runway.

Two problems; the first is that the controller should not have cleared the Vueling flight for take off, but also the Vueling Captain should not have ac-

cepted his clearance for take off as he would have seen the Ryanair navigation lights flashing whilst it was still on the runway. In commercial aviation this is deemed as dangerous and unacceptable.

If they had opened the second runway, this risk to both aircraft’s safety would not have been compromised.

BELT UP: Failure to meet the new regulations will result in fines and loss of points.

No children on front seats AS of Thursday October 1 children under 1.35 metres in height are banned from travelling in front seats of cars in Spain as changes to the General Traffic Regulations come into effect.

The new measure comes in addition, and under no circumstances replaces, regulations already in place regarding child restraining systems. Failure to meet these regulations, the DGT traffic authority reminds drivers, can result in €200 fines and loss of licence

points apart from the evident danger it puts youngsters in.

The new version of Article 117, which came into effect on October 1, includes three exceptional cases in which children can be carried in the front seat, always using restraining systems that are right for their weight and height: if there is no back seat, it is already used by smaller or similar children or it is impossible to correctly fit a restraining system there.

DRIVING TESTS: Average wait is currently up to more than one month.

Examiner strikes cause longer waiting times ACTION by unions means learner drivers will face delays

By Eleanor Hawkins MORE than 1,000 learner drivers in the province have had their driving exams delayed since examiners started daily partial strikes on September 14.

The strike, which was called for an indefinite amount of time by the Spanish Traffic Examiners’ Association (Asextra) and the CGT, CSIF and USO trade unions, also means that the average waiting time for pupils to be given a date for an exam in Malaga is currently standing at more than one month.

The strikes, over the last three hours of the examiners’ working day, have meant an average of 120 learners are turning up for

their exams and going home disappointed.

Although the DGT traffic authority is trying to ensure the next slot they are given is earlier in the day, some people have been turned down twice.

Examiners all over the country are joining the strike to demand better working conditions including the possibility of not giving results on the spot to avoid bearing the brunt of angry people they fail.

If the strikes continue, examiners think that the delays will also continue.

Yet Malaga’s Driving School Association (APAE) has said it will not hold protests over the delays as the strike is a countrywide one and must be resolved by the examiners and the traffic authority.

Council to fund health centre work itself CASARES Council has decided to go ahead and fork out for improvements to the local health centre.

The council, Works Councillor Guzman Ahumada has explained, has drawn up a project and presented it to the regional government and the Costa del Sol health district, officially requesting permission to do the work.

Planned changes include extending the reception area, renovating bathrooms, renewing floors and electrical fittings and installing new air-conditioning, with a budget of €50,000.

Costa still an expat magnet AS PROPERTY sales start to pick up, the Costa del Sol has again proved itself a favourite with buyers from abroad, new statistics show.

In the first half of the year, Ministry of Public Works and Development figures show that 12,795 properties were sold in Malaga province, the best for the first half of the year in seven and close to the 14,700 sold in the same period in 2008, with 38 per cent of buyers being nonSpanish.

The province was the Andalucian area foreign buyers were most attracted to, with 70 per cent of all sales to expatriates, beaten only by Alicante nationally.

The busiest areas for sales between April and June were Malaga city, Marbella, Mijas , Estepona and Benalmadena.

Shopping centre alarms nuisance LIFE is becoming a misery for an estimated 1,000 people living in flats round the Parque Miramar shopping centre in Mijas Costa due to a faulty fire alarm system which they say is driving them mad.

The alarms, said Jose Antonio Casado, representing local residents, have been going off over and over again both during the day and at night for two weeks, sometimes for up to two hours at a time.

Encarni Mancilla, who lives in one of the 450 flats near the

centre, complained that she had phoned the Local Police station more than once but was always told there was nothing the force could do to help.

Meanwhile, Joaquin Sanchez, head of services at Parque Miramar, said that although there had been some issues these had been resolved.

Staff at Yorkshire Linen, near the centre, told EWN that they had heard alarms one day but assumed they were from cars and couldn’t say it had been a noticeable problem.

New Fuengirola scheme to fight unemployment UNEMPLOYMENT is one of the main problems society is currently facing and Fuengirola council has come up with a new scheme to fight it by gradually creating 500 jobs.

A new municipal project, ‘Fuengirola+Empleo,’ announced this week by local Mayor Ana Mula, will include training schemes to increase employability and help for entrepreneurs along with four separate job schemes providing work for more than 500 people.

SUPPORT REQUESTED: Fewer bureaucratic obstacles are needed for businesses to succeed.

Self-employed in need of help MAJORITY of independent workers fail within two years

By Maria J. Fernandez MALAGA Business Owners Confederation (CEM) has requested from the institutions increased administrative support and fewer bureaucratic obstacles for the IndependentWorkers Collective.

There are 106,000 independent workers in the province at present.

Head of the association,

Javier Gonzalez Lara, said that the smallest businesses usually go through a critical moment during the first two years of their existence and claimed that two out of three businesses do not make it past the two-year mark.

“It is a terrible fact,” he said, and continued: “But we have got to get up and move forward; smaller business have more difficulties in

terms of finances and management and they stand in a vulnerable position.”

To help with assisting independent workers, the CEM and the Malaga Chamber of Commerce have just published a book entitled “How to be a freelance worker and not die while trying,” which approaches themes such as taxes, fees, paying bills and social security issues.

The Guardia were informed of the four men who posed as gas technicians and wore official gas company uniforms after they had visited an elderly German couple in Calpe, who did not speak much Castellano and convinced them that their gas installation should be checked.

They then falsely told the couple they must change a number of components in order to comply with regulations and gave them a €660 bill which was paid in full by the couple.

Police found although the installation was actually made correctly there was in fact no need for it. After providing police with a description of the men who were said to be aged between 40-56 and of Spanish nationality, the Guardia picked them up in the street, still wearing the gas company uniforms.

Business breakfast and networking groups work well in the UK but what about here?

Upon retirement in 2008 I relocated to Spain. I had my first International Business Networking Group meeting in the diary before

Talking shop Mike Walsh Mike Walsh was for 20 years Regional Assessment Manager for the Guild of Master Craftsmen, Britain’s biggest quality assurance body for businesses.

BUSINESS breakfasts were a novelty to me when first invited (or else) to one such in Shrewsbury. I had taken up a sales post with the Australian-based Red Telephone Company, which was very much performance related.

The basic concept was that during breakfast everyone at the table would be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed; fail. Of fresh mind, we sales personnel could bond, brainstorm, learn from others then hit the ground running. That was the idea. Sales seminars and such get-togethers do pay dividends.

One of the failings of the business community is that business owners work in isolation.

Winging it, there is no one to turn to for advice except gestors, solicitors, suppliers and, equally inept, the family. As a consequence the SME manager is going to get it wrong more often than is the company man. He has

is the comparative benefit of subscription-based groups as opposed to trade organisations

GETTING TOGETHER: Morning is the perfect time to bond and brainstorm. no one to bounce ideas off, no experienced mentors.

This, in my experience, is a self-inflicted failing. Occasionally, a business networking group sets up. Subscriptions tend to be extortionate and the criteria onerous. I recall one

such that charged a far higher membership fee than any of the established UK business associations. Yet, I doubt the benefits of membership were 1 per cent of organisations such as the Federation of Master Builders, CORGI, and the Guild of Master Craftsmen.

I even arrived. It was a great success and why not? I had much experience to back me up.

There were no fees, no criteria. All it offered at that early stage was an opportunity for small business owners to meet and relax with others, share information and provide mutual support.

Interest over time waned. It was difficult to breathe life into the dying horse. There, is in the Costa community, an ‘I don’t need anyone to teach me how to run my business’ mindset.

Business networking works well in the UK; there is no reason why it shouldn’t do so here, if you want it to.

Money can buy just about anything BLESSED with black gold, Saudi Arabia thinks it is a law unto itself LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT I THINK many Saudis are like spoilt children with too much pocket money. They manufacture absolutely zilch and produce nothing but a substance that lies under their desert wastelands. They consider themselves favourites of Allah for having been bestowed this natural, and extremely lucrative, natural resource.

Having spent some eight years in their country, I think I can attest to their arrogance and hypocrisy. It came as no surprise to me that they completely blanked refugees fleeing from persecution in neighbouring countries; heaven forbid they allow their privileged existence to be overrun by smelly peasants!

It was also completely typical that they instead offered to pay for 200 new mosques to be erected in Germany. They also lie about or suppress anything that may be detrimental to their superior existence. When I was in the country, there was an attempted coup by one of the royal family. On one road during the event, I over-

OIL RICH: Saudi Arabia believes it is a favourite of Allah.

took at least 100 tanks and mobilised guns.

What little information did escape was quickly dismissed as a ‘military exercise’.

When slavery was supposedly brought to an end, with a great flourish of ‘generosity’, they built them all a town out in the desert. What they really wanted was them all in one place.

Not long after, they allegedly sent in fighter planes and bombed it out of existence.

On another occasion there was an attempted takeover of Mecca by a rival religious group.

This was put down to a handful of zealots. In fact, it took two weeks to quell, and a doctor friend of mine told me that his military hospital had treated at least 600 gunshot victims.

Despite demanding mosques to be built everywhere, they would never allow anything even vaguely resembling a church to be built in their kingdom. If they say some 700 souls perished this week on the road to Medina, you can guarantee the figure was probably double.

No, it would appear that the Saudis are living proof that in this world, money can buy just about anything.

Keep the faith, Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Genuine Thai Massage centre opens on Monday October 5 FANCY a genuine Thai massage but don’t have the time or the money to travel to Thailand?

We’ve got just the place for you: Spirit of Thailand, a genuine Thai massage centre will open its doors on Monday, October 5, in Estepona.

Performed through your clothes, Thai Traditional Massage leaves you in a state of sublime relaxation. An authentic Thai Oil massage carried out by a genuine Thai massage therapist is the best way to relieve pain, ease muscle aches, improve blood flow, de-stress and relax.

Its mechanics show a strong Indian Ayurvedic and Yogic influence, but a very disciplined emphasis on energy channels betrays a link with Chinese Traditional Medicine.

Thai Traditional Massage has existed for over 1,000 years, in pretty much the same form that is used today. Its recent worldwide spread has been quite phenomenal.

Friendly staff await you.

So much of feeling ‘old’ comes from what is often regarded as the inevitable stiffening of joints. Regular Thai Massage quickly proves that this is not so, as it restores long-lost mobility to the joints.

In Spirit of Thailand they promise authenticity and quality as all the staff are genuine Thai and all their prod-

THERAPEUTIC: Thai massage can relieve pain and ease muscle ache. ucts are 100 per cent natural.

They only use the highest quality massage oils, such as virgin coconut oil and the best aloe vera. Coconut oil is well known for containing power-

ful anti-microbial agents like capric acid and lauric acid, which do not let microbes infect your skin. It is also rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, your skin’s best friends.

Apart from the original Thai Massage they also offer hot stones massage, foot massage, head and shoulders massage and also an invigorating body scrub to exfoliate your skin, removing dead skin, helping to fight cellulite and improve your skin tone.

Spirit of Thailand recommend their treatments to golfers, taxi and lorry drivers, polo players or just anybody who suffers from back problems.

If you’re already thinking about booking a treatment with them, they offer an exclusive online booking system. You do not need to call them or lose time by dropping into shop; you can book your massage any time of day from the comfort of your home and they will confirm the appointment automatically.

They are based in Estepona, Plaza San Fernando, close to Junction 155 A7. Next to Bar Estadio.

Majority of ‘refugees’ waiting in Calais are not fleeing wars Photographs for possible publication should be sent by email with a full caption to: photonews@euroweeklynews.com

I HAVE just returned from a family holiday in Benidorm (we go there about twice a year and have been for the last six to seven years) and this time it was a family holiday to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary (God, the train robbers only got 30 years. Joking aside, I wouldn’t have changed a moment).

Whilst there, I had the opportunity to read Leapy Lee’s article in the free Euro Weekly and just had to comment on it. To quote my wife it was the same views I am always ranting on about.

We live in Sussex so we get a lot of migrant movement on the south coast.

That is, when Operation Stack is not bringing the whole of Kent and Sussex to gridlock.

Everything you highlighted like carrying on through Gandia to the nearest airport and on the plane to Syria is brilliant. At Calais and the Channel Tunnel the worst the migrants can expect is to be caught and returned to the port entrance to be released outside the gate so they can try again the next night, but the poor lorry drivers get fined £2,000 per stowaway.

I feel so strongly I could carry on ranting all day. Numerous people I know feel the same, they are not refugees as such unless refugees can travel across Europe with wads of Euros in their back pockets.

Terry Marchant, (By email)

No toll roads here MESSAGE: Please ask your Mallorca columnist to refrain from putting ideas into our local politicians’ heads. Your paper constantly refers to toll roads we have on the island, the latest occasion being the cat accident.

We do not have any toll roads in Mallorca and we don’t want any so please do not give any politico the excuse to propose them. We are taxed enough.

John Little, (By email)

Criminal migrants WITH reference to Leapy Lee’s recent article, here is a copy of a message I

Labour’s new tune THANKS for your comments on the latest insanity of rescuing the dregs of what was once the Labour party.

Corbyn comes across as an old commie, worse than during the Wilson era.

I am back in the UK and it is like having a non-stop nightmare, exworld traveller finally in a permanent state of culture shock, not to be found anywhere else in the world!!

The desire to tune in to PM’s Question Time no longer appeals; it’s the same old ‘non-replies.’ I wonder why so many of the politicians are unable to give a straight yes or no reply when asked to do so?

Now, to top it all, the Labourites have surfaced singing the Red Flag with gusto, yet not the national anthem. Pomposity knows no limits.

Sheila Thompson, (Via website)

You asked for this

Jeremy Corbyn’s popularity AS a holidaymaker from UK, I was astounded by the ignorance shown in Leapy Lee’s column regarding what is happening in the UK. Jeremy Corbyn was elected Labour leader by a majority of 60 per cent. He has held 100 meetings in the UK and his polices are very popular. Renationalise the railways and utilities. End austerity. Build decent housing for our young people.

If your brand of journalism stopped calling names and started some thoughtful analysis, journalists might again become trusted in what they write. I have rarely read a more unbalanced, biased and ill-thought-out piece of writing. Stay in Spain in the sun and stop writing these lies and distortions.

Bryan Beckingham, (By email)

received from a friend in Northern Germany: “And this is a country that has opened its doors to some 850,000 of these refugees.

“The ‘refugees,’ by the way, we have heard, are now fighting with the police in several cities, committing robberies and barricading themselves into houses, going around in gangs intimidating people for money, including knocking on people’s doors and barging in until the householder gives them as much cash as they can find, attempted kidnappings on the way to school.

“An eight-year-old girl was robbed going to school last week; four men took her phone and her pocket money which amounted to the princely amount of 70 cents.

“I now take my child to school every day, and the parents of the ones going by bus now take turns standing at the bus stop with the kids until the bus arrives.

“The police now have a patrol car parked near the school most mornings with an officer just watching.

“The problem here is that most Germans not living in the big cities have

no experience with multinational Middle Eastern immigrants and think they are like the Western Europeans in temperament and social outlook. Boy, are they in for a surprise.”

Visiting my friend a couple of years ago I was impressed and liked the way his little granddaughter was happy to take herself off to school each morning.

Now, is this a ‘blip’ in one part of Germany?

Ian Thomas, (By email)

ANGELA MERKEL needs to be held to account for this; she made this as bad as it is because she said come to Germany and we will let you in.

So, Angela, a large part of Syria and every other Tom, Dick and Harry are coming too.

Germany should be made to compensate Hungary, Greece, Croatia and other countries for the problems this is causing. I watched her on TV the other night telling other countries they must help or she will respond with threats... who does this woman think she is?

EU politicians are as out of touch as all other politicians; you are responsible for this, Angela, so you fix it!

YOUR STARS SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Some disruptions from Jupiter’s influence mean that this is not likely to be a smooth week. However, there are some niggling drawbacks that you do not even notice until they are already past. That is no bad thing because time often solves these matters. Be aware that someone is waiting for a decision on the romantic front.

LIBRA

(Sept 24 - October 23)

Making changes in your surroundings takes priority this week. You want to be ready for a busy party time ahead and that means making a special effort. You do so love making your friends comfortable and giving them pleasure.

As money is not likely to be so tight at the moment you have the chance. Your love life is going to give you pause for thought both in a good and not-so-good way.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Why has that special plan not been started? Could it be that you are waiting until next year? Best strike while the iron is hot and not delay a moment longer. While others are having a good time this week, you can steal a lead.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Being firmly in control this week shows results. Although you prefer to accommodate others, this is not the time. Once you have realised how much easier your life is when you put your foot down, there will be no looking back.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Joint efforts and team projects go hand in hand this week. Your social life will improve dramatically if you make a special effort at the weekend.

Realising and then admitting that you need others is the start of real progress. Only foolish people insist that they are self-sufficient. Sooner or later, they realise differently.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Finances may be the last thing on your mind at the moment but deal with matters now and get them out of the way. There are other directions that your thoughts are taking.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Changes are to be made as soon as possible. There are people in your life who give you nothing but trouble.

Being kind to them seems to do no good at all. Why not be kind to yourself for a change? Arrange not to be available to them all the time and they will soon find some other outlet.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Please, please be organised. Not to be so would mean problems on the financial side for months to come.

Money is good and this, combined with a romantic interest, means that you will be sorely tempted to overspend. When it comes to giving of yourself, emotionally, remember that you will only receive back what you are willing to give.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A pet love is given a helping hand from someone close. You may have criticised this person in the past but now they are showing you their best side. To keep this going, be sure to show your appreciation.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Steaming ahead this week, it will surprise you just how much you get done. A relationship that seemed to be going nowhere perks up and the chance to show just how versatile you are in that direction sees you shine.

Generally, your confidence is good so don’t be surprised if someone starts singing your praises.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) That niggling disagreement that you had with someone should not be allowed to take up your time any longer. Be sure to take the bull by the horns and get it sorted out. It may not be possible to use your charm in this situation but, if you look and sound determined enough, the message will get across.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) This is a great week for parties and socialising. Libra is shining on you and the light is shooting right through your love life. Other relationships benefit, too, and it is a good time to ask favours. When it comes to showing your affections, avoid being super-cool. This will only give the impression that you do not care, which is far from the truth.

Renowned author of Eat Pray Love: the path to the vibrant, fulfilling life you’ve dreamed of has come back with a new and inspiring book.

The author attempts to walk the reader through her own generative process to share her own views about creativity.

She offers insides from her own experience on the nature of inspiration, as she pushes us to embrace curiosity and let go of suffering we inflict apon ourselves, through a spiritual and cheerful perspective.

This book is a jewel for those who want to become more mindful when undertaking creative tasks be it writing a book, making art, or following our life-long dreams. books@euroweeklynews.com

ALTHOUGH we all need food, and we believe we know what is what when it comes to culinary matters, there are many stories, old wives tales and myths that have become part of our life, that may not be as correct as we would believe.

Here are the Top 10 myths busted!

1. Fried foods increase heart disease risk A study released by the British Medical Journal studied 41,000 Spanish adults over 11 years, and how much fried food they ate daily. A total of 606 heart-related incidents and 1,134 deaths were registered. Researchers found rates did not correlate with fried food intake and concluded there was no proven link between heart disease and how much food fried in olive or sunflower oil was consumed.

2. Raw is better than cooked Researchers at the Institute of Nutritional Science in Germany confirmed that a raw food diet causes low lycopene, a component linked to lower risk of cancer and cardiovascular conditions, which was found to rise in cooked foods. In addition, steaming or boiling vegetables such as asparagus, cabbage, carrots, peppers or spinach was found to increase antioxidants like carotenoids and ferulic acids. Most scientists agree the secret is to balance the raw/cooked food ratio in our diets.

3. ‘Nutrient-deficiency cravings’ Craving certain kinds of foods does not mean your body has a deficiency for one or more of the nutrients they provide, according to expert Karen Ansel, who goes as far as saying: “If cravings were an indicator of nutritional deficiency, we’d all crave fruit and vegetables.” Instead, they are often related to social and/or emotional reasons.

4. Organic foods are better than regular food While organic food (grown with an orientation towards pollution reduction and resource conservation) are cultivated without pesticides and food additives, a recent study conducted at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine examining the past 50 year’s reports on organic and conventional food found that there were no significant differences.

5. Alcohol cooks away when added to a dish

Sudoku

App of the Week Mastery Experts claim that picking up a new skill takes around 10,000 hours. Mastery, is a free app for android users designed to make it a little bit easier. Whether it is drawing, meditating, dancing, the app turns the process into a game in which you earn coins for the time put towards perfecting the skill. These then can be used to ‘buy’ self-established rewards such as ‘treating yourself to a dinner.’

Play on Words

ELIMINATING EGGS: Might in fact do more damage than good.

A new study from the US agriculture department found that a percentage of alcohol remains in the dish after being cooked, in higher or lower levels depending on the cooking method. A dish with alcohol that has not being heated and left overnight in the fridge retained as much as 70 per cent of the alcohol. Baking a dish for 15 minutes still left 40 per cent of the alcohol, while a dish baked or simmered for two and a half hours retained 5 per cent.

6. Gum takes years to digest As kids, most of us can remember someone warning us not to swallow our gums because it would stay in our ‘tummies’ for years before being digested. While the flavours and sugars on the chewing gum get broken down, the base is indigestible and will go through the digestive track very slowly. But it will not take years. Instead, it will be gone in around one week.

7. Eggs make your cholesterol rocket A person’s ‘bad’ cholesterol levels increases with the intake of certain saturated and trans fats. Eggs contain very little saturated fat (approximately 1.5 grams per egg) and no trans-fat. Eliminating eggs from the diet due to cholesterol concerns might be doing in fact more damage than good, as this product contains quality proteins, vitamins and other beneficial components for the body.

8. Drinking milk is essential for strong bones

Many confuse ‘dairy’ with calcium. Even though dairy products contain calcium, which contributes to healthy bones, there are many other sources to get it from including dark-leafy greens. Calcium is by no means the only nutrient for strong bones.

Vitamin K is also vital and cannot be found in dairy (dark-leafy greens have it). Magnesium also plays an important role and can be found in almonds, potatoes or oatmeal but not dairy.

9. Low fat foods are better for your health This myth pushes consumers to go for low fat foods in an attempt to pursue a healthier diet. However, a good intake of those known as ‘good-fats’ (found in olives, almonds, fish, etc) is vital for the body. In addition, many low-fat products replace fat with other ingredients such as sugars or sodium and are high in refined carbohydrates.

10. Wooden cutting boards are a nest for bacteria The rule goes as follows: when using a cutting board, knives cause tiny cuts where bacteria, specially that from raw food, settles and potentially contaminates other food. However, a study conducted at the University of California shows that, by applying bacteria to a wooden cutting board, they noticed that its natural properties caused it to filter through the surface and settle inside, where they no longer multiply and eventually die.

Labour party’s plans

Ocean Spa Plaza sells out

THE charity runs a work based programme where individuals with a history of mental illness can develop to their full potential. Their mission is to make a difference to people who have experienced mental illness by offering respect, hope and dignity within a restorative community and now has 107 members, an increase of 43 over 2014.

AT the Labour party conference held in Brighton from September 27 to 30, Hilary Benn, newly appointed Shadow Foreign Secretary, has said that the Labour party will uphold selfdetermination for the Falklands and Gibraltar and this “clear and unequivocal statement” has been welcomed by the government of Gibraltar.

THE developers of Ocean Village, Gibraltar, have sold out upcoming Ocean Spa Plaza only 36 hours after general release.

With a 100-strong VIP Advantage List, who had already paid a refundable deposit and received plans and prices 48 hours in advance, and with the help of an oversubscribed waiting list, all 125 luxury apartments were swiftly sold.

Freedom of the City for Royal Gibraltar Police CEREMONY followed the unveiling of a plaque in the Parliament lobby ALTHOUGH the award was announced some time ago, The Royal Gibraltar Police marched up Main Street on the morning of September 26 to receive Gibraltar’s highest civic honour, the Freedom of the City.

Commissioner Eddie Yome led the Freedom Parade after a ceremony at Casemates, which featured rows of uniformed police officers and music by the Band and Corps of Drums of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment.

Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said the Royal Gibraltar Police inspire great pride in the community and he referred to them as guardians of the independent and impartial application and enforcement of the law.

Hidden posts for illegal smuggling HM CUSTOMS Gibraltar take the matter of tobacco smuggling very seriously as required by government and have set up hidden observation posts in the area of the North Mole in order to catch gangs transporting illegal tobacco across the water to the Alcaidesa port.

This information was revealed in evidence from a customs officer at the recent trial of 24-year-old Adrian Burgos Castillo from La Linea who was found guilty of having been involved in the

smuggling operation in the early hours of March 19 of this year.

According to the witness, as a car, with 60,000 cigarettes onboard and its headlights turned off arrived two boats approached the scene, expecting to collect the tobacco. Customs officers were quick to apprehend the vehicle, arresting Mr. Castillo and the driver of the car, however four others managed to evade the officers and fled on the vessel. Mr. Castillo has been fined £3,000.

Minister David Cameron had asked him to convey his personal congratulations on the award following their impromptu meeting in London last week. A spokesperson for the police described it as a great day and a great honour.

The ceremony followed the unveiling of a plaque in the lobby of the Gibraltar Parliament and a multi-denominational religious service to commemorate the granting of the Freedom of the City the previous day.

The Royal Gibraltar Police, previously the Gibraltar Police Force, is the oldest police force in the Commonwealth, founded in 1830 only nine months after Sir Robert Peel founded the Metropolitan Police in London, employs more police officers than the population warrants.

FOOD Secrets.

Dog foods vary in quality. So do the companies that make the foods. To some, quality is only a word. To others, it’s a way of life.

The quality of a dog food is best measured by your dog; how he performs on the food, how he looks and acts are the best measures of the quality of any food.

CONDITION: If your dog doesn’t seem healthy, try changing his food.

No matter what a food company claims, unless your dog has bright eyes, silky hair, supple skin and is not overweight, then the food is not right for him.

Most foods are categorised as ‘Economy,’ ‘Regular,’ ‘Premium,’ ‘Super Premium’ and ‘Performance.’ Regular and Premium foods are not formulated like a Super Premium or Performance food.

On the label of a Super Premium or Performance food, an animal protein will be listed as the first or second ingredient. These should include chicken or turkey meat, poultry by-products, meat or pork meals or other animal by-products. A least two sources of fat or oil should be included.

To sum up; let’s compare Regular foods to Regular Petrol, Premium food to Premium petrol, and Super Premium food to a Super Premium petrol.

Protect the sofa from your cat AS MUCH as you love your cat, it drives you mad when you spot it sharpening its claws on the settee.

Luckily, though, there are a few tricks you can try to stop the problem: • Have their claws cut: Scratching is a social act for young felines, especially on vertical surfaces and it fulfills their need to sharpen their claws.

If they are too long, take them to have them clipped. This is more important as cats get older as the less active they become the less likely their claws are to be worn down naturally.

• Don’t tell them off: They’re not being naughty, they actually have a physical need to scratch things. Stopping them could even lead to psychological and behavioural problems. A plan of action is needed.

• Provide them with toys and scratching posts: Toys and scratching posts are not only a way to keep them happy, they will also eventually become their go-to place to sharpen their claws.

This type of item is never amiss at home and will to distract your furry friend from the sofa.

The madness of Safety campaign on scooter drivers LEGALLY SPEAKING

wearing of seatbelts

AS part of a new 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.

WHY do they not abide by normal motoring rules?

Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man

BELT UP: The use of a seatbelt is mandatory for all occupants of a vehicle.

AS reported in last week’s the Euro Weekly News, the Guardia Civil traffic department was carrying out intensified checks on the wearing of seatbelts and child restraints in cars as part of a safety campaign.

As a result, more than 3,000 people in vehicles were caught not wearing a seatbelt.

During the seven-day campaign, there were 2,830 adults and 206 children under the age of 12 not wearing seatbelts.

Of these adults, 1,766 were drivers with the remaining 1,064 being passengers in vehicles; 649 were sitting in the front and 415 in the rear seats.

The campaign coincided with the re-

turn to school with the aim of reducing risk to children as well as adults by raising awareness of the need to wear safety belts.

The use of a seatbelt is mandatory for all occupants of a vehicle in both front and rear seats. There must be no more passengers in a vehicle than the number of seatbelts. Children less than 1.5m in height must use the appropriate restraints for their height and, in some cases, weight and children under the age of 12 cannot travel in the front seat, unless using properly fitted and approved restraints. The only exception is if the child is taller than 135cm, in which case they can use the normal seatbelt.

Can Spain collect IBI on illegal house?

We have been in our property since 2005 on an urbanisation of 25 villas.

At the time we were issued one common ‘catastral’ number so we all have the same number. None of us has ever paid IBI tax. Our villas are legal, but there is land adjacent that was originally planned for further construction by the same builder. Licences were granted by the town hall but later revoked by the Andalucian Regional GovernUnfortunately the ‘Junta de Andalucia’ has specifically resolved that, if the property exists physically, it can be taxed.

It sounds as if your builder never had the

ment. Several court cases are pending.

Because of this we have been informed our individual catastral numbers cannot be issued until a court decision is made. We have now been required to pay our IBI backdated four years. We have no objection to paying as we knew this would come. However I understand all properties need to have an individual number for IBI to be collected.

Can you confirm?

V.W. (Almeria)

David Searl You and the Law in Spain

If the property exists physically, it can be taxed.

land legally divided into individual plots. However, the regional government has surely made its own measurements, so you must pay the annual real estate tax for the past four years.

I’VE been driving for about 50 years and think I’m a reasonable driver, but there is a collection of road users that are a lot more confident in my driving than I am!

I am, of course, referring to the motor scooter driver.

What is it with you lot?

I slow down to turn right and one c ome s flying up the insi de, anot her comes up the outside and turns right in front of me.

I hoot and then get waving of the arms like I’ve done something wrong.

W hy do the y fe e l that t hey do not have to abide by any normal motoring rules?

Why do you drive towards me on the

wrong side of the road heading towards me and miss me by a fag paper? And roundabouts just beggar belief! How many angles are there for you to cut me up and make me brake?

You fly along in summer with a crash helmet on, a tee shirt and shorts and a pair of flip flops. Really?

Driving through traffic like a winter Olympian in the down-hill slalom will only ensure the Paralympics may be the only thing you can enter... that is of course if they can locate your head after the accident.

Pedestrians on zebra crossings are only there for target practice and what’s with the shopping piled between you and the handle bars, or the pets?

I’ve unfortunately seen a few scooter v car accidents and the scooter driver never comes off better than the car driver or the car. It’s a totally lose-lose situation.

Of course none of you reading this that ride scooters do any of this… so this article is only for all the others!

OPINION & COMMENT

Another whistleblower silenced

OUR VIEW

PAINTED a vivid picture of what he expected to happen, the Med would become a sea of chaos Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

WHISTLE-BLOWERS in the Soviet Union could be assured of summary execution or a long period in the Gulag. Here in the West dissidents make good their escape, seek sanctuary in foreign embassies, or, like Chelsea Manning face 35-years in a harsh prison.

Prominent critic of Western policy Saddam Hussein was ousted and hanged. Seemingly Syrian President Assad faces brutal death for his rejection of Western demands.

Had the Sovietised unelectable EU political elite taken the advice of the ousted Libyan leader then this self-inflicted refugee calamity would have been avoided.

In March 2011, Gaddafi counselled that without a unified and stable Libya there would be no one to control countless migrants from Africa and the Middle East from fleeing to Europe. He understood that millions, not thousands would flood Europe should Tripoli fall.

“There are millions who could come to the Mediterranean to cross to France and Italy, and Libya plays a role in security in the

Mediterranean,” he told the France 24 television station.

Gaddafi’s son Saif, once considered the Libyan heir apparent and now on death row awaiting execution, echoed the sentiment in the same interview. “Libya may become the Somalia of North Africa, of the Mediterranean. You will see the pirates in Sicily, in Crete, in Lampedusa.

You will see millions of illegal immigrants. The terror will be next door,” he noted.

Another quote, attributed to Gaddafi, paints a vivid picture of what the popular national leader expected to happen: “The Mediterranean will become a sea of chaos.”

Where was mainstream media, supposedly the impartial eyes and ears of their European readers? Perhaps too busy following orders from the politically elite as were their counterparts in the former Soviet Bloc.

No one listened. Instead, the West launched a military intervention to oust Gaddafi. The country is torn apart by rival factions as NATO invaded Iraq, Afghanistan and possibly soon Syria. It is not a failure of understanding as some claim; it appears to be the base treachery of Europe for which there will doubtless be a high price to pay.

A broken nose? Just play on!

THE Rugby World Cup is under way and it is refreshing to see a game that still embodies the real meaning of sportsmanship.

True, the players spend 80 minutes knocking seven bells out of each other, but generally there is no malicious intent displayed, only the desire to do whatever it takes to achieve a favourable result, with disappointed losers congratulating their opponents and the victors applauding the opposition off the pitch.

Broken noses and fractured fingers are no obstacle either, with injured parties receiving rapid on-site attention from the medics before continuing on with the game. Blood is the most common bodily fluid on a rugby pitch, not the snot and phlegm prevalent in a football match.

White is not always right WE in the newspaper industry can sometimes be accused of being a little stuck in our ways, but at Euro Weekly News, we not only care about our readers and advertisers but also about the environment.

All of the paper that we purchase - and if you think of the amount needed to produce six editions every week of every year - is ecologically sound, coming from reclaimed sources which is the reason that the background is not pure white.

That’s why we can say quite clearly that in the newspaper business, white isn’t right and if you see any publication printed on pure white paper, then you need to consider whether they are interested in the environment or if they just have money to burn (which also causes pollution).

The fact is that the use of paper in all forms does cause an enormous strain on our dwindling resources and unless you are one of those companies that plants three trees for every one cut down, the logical and indeed obvious thing to do is to re-use pulped paper.

It may not be quite as pretty to look at, but it certainly gives us a sense of doing our bit for the world and perhaps allows the rainforests to remain just a little longer.

Doubtless there will be more, but what has come across loud and clear is the love of the game and the pride players display in wearing a shirt in their country’s colours. The awe and pride that the Uruguayans exhibited when they ran out on to the Twickenham pitch for the first time was marvellous.

Contrast this with the video displayed across social media last week of the professional footballer who rolled around the pitch in ‘agony’ after an opposing player playfully flicked his ear.

Then you have the annoying affectation of many footballers when they come on to the pitch, by crossing themselves before looking to heaven.

Carpal tunnel and the importance of talking to your patient face-to-face

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com I GO on about how important a proper assessment is for a correct diagnosis. Doctors MUST examine the patient! The variety of medical testing available is fantastic, BUT you must still examine and speak to the person in front of you.

A case study: A proper assessment meant Danielle was able to avoid unnecessary surgery and make a quick recovery: “I began to experience numbness in my fingers and hand extending to my upper arm on the right side and occasionally in my fingers

NECK PROBLEMS: Can be related to pain in other areas of the body. and hand on the left. I thought I had slept awkwardly, and if I ignored it, it would go away. It didn’t.

“One night I was awoken by com-

pletely numb fingers, hand and arm and extreme pain. In the morning I could barely use my hand. Night after night the pain increased and day

after day, I could not perform the simplest of tasks. I went to see my GP. He diagnosed carpal tunnel and said the operation was very simple. I

did not want an operation. So I telephoned Estelle at Bodyworks.

“Estelle asked me if I had a problem with my neck. I said no, but later I mentioned that I had broken a rib and other smaller injuries falling down the stairs nine months before.

What appeared to have been an isolated incident in my wrist was traced back through my arm and neck to my rib.After three appointments I began to sleep better, I still had numbness, but the pain had started to disappear.

“I now sleep every night knowing that the pain and numbness will go in time. I am having the root of the problem cured. The right treatment makes the body work!”

USING electronic cigarettes, aka vaping, seems to be on the rise again.

Costa Vapor was one of the first vape shops on the coast and they are still going strong. “I guess it is because we know what we are doing,” said Petri Mantysalo, owner of Costa Vapor SL, who continued: “We have a well-trained staff and we are all vapers ourselves, so we don’t sell the cheapest models that give you a bad user experience.

Costa Vapor offers a large variety of high quality e-cigarettes at the best prices, from starter kits for beginners, to the latest models for the more advanced. Our range of e-liquid is the biggest on the Costa del Sol and you can taste the 200 plus flavours before making your purchase.

Are you eating enough food for your body to lose weight?

FitFoxy Looking Good, Staying Trim

SO here is the scenario, you have your workout routines, you are putting in a huge effort.

You are mixing up your classes so that you are getting a good combination of cardio and resistance training, and you are pushing yourself to 80-90 per cent effort level every time.

So why aren’t you getting results with your weight loss goals?

One of the most common problems I encounter with new clients is that often they are misguided about food, confused about healthy food options, how much they should eat, and most importantly how often they should eat. The truth of the matter is, if you are expecting your body to perform and function like a finely tuned machine, you have to treat it like one.

How many meals in a day?

You should be aiming for five/six, broken down into three meals and two/three snacks.

Do you skip breakfast?

One of the biggest and most common mistakes, as breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day.

Are you eating a heavy meal late in the evening?

Where possible, you should aim to eat your main meal at lunchtime and have a lighter meal in the evening. You should avoid going to bed with a full stomach.

Your metabolism naturally slows down as you rest. You need at least two to three hours to digest your food before sleep.

It is never too late to improve your eating habits if you find you are not losing weight with your current routine, it is maybe time to look at other methods.

Remember Rome was not built in a day, it takes up to three weeks to break a habit and sometimes a little longer to get used to a new routine.

Meningitis B vaccine is now available at pharmacies THE Spanish Medicines and Health Products Agency (AEMPS) under the Ministry of Health, has reclassi-

hospital use, this means that pharmacies are now allowed to sell the vaccine. ‘ Bexser o’ i s a vacci ne marketed by Novartis, aut hor i sed i n t he EU si nce January 2013. It is an injectable vaccine indicated f or act i ve i m m uni sat i on from two months of age against invasive meningococcal disease.

This decision to make it more widely available has been based on the evaluat i on of new qual i t y and

safety data submitted by the company after the distribution of more than 1,200,000 doses of vaccine worldwide.

The Ministry of Health said: “This is a decision that puts Spain in line with the other countries of the EU where it is dispensed in a pharmacy.”

Previously Spain only administered the vaccine in hospital settings for people with immunodeficiencies and in cases of outbreaks.

As a result, the vaccine was being administered to only a very small percentage of the population.

No money for my meal!!

AFTER the delightful meal came the moment of truth... the bill to pay HAVING just returned from a weekend at the Octoberfest in Torrox I felt like some m o r e Ge r m a n o r w ell, clo s e enough to German food and ended up at Fredericks (Danish) Bistro in Benalmadena Pueblo.

We opted for liver, that is me and my partner for Wiener Schnitzel. Service was prompt and when we got a candle on the table I even felt romantic... again!

The food arrived very quickly and was nicely presented and so we got going.

And yes, the food was a delight, my liver was served with boiled potatoes and a l o v e l y g r a v y f u ll o f s au tée d onions. Would have liked the liver to be calves liver, but I guess at a price of €7.50 that would be asking too much.

Now we felt just being back at the Octoberfest in Torrox with only the stein of beer and the singing Germans missing.

After this delightful meal came the moment of truth, meaning to pay the bill and so I gave the waitress, which I think was also the owner my debit card as I had spent all my money on partying the weekend away in Torrox.

A nd h e r e t h e p r o b le m s ta rte d as Frederick’s Bistro does not take any cards and there was no bank nearby to

GREAT VALUE: But next time I must make sure I take cash to pay! getsome cash out of the ATM. What to do.

So my partner suggested we come back tomorrow and pay for the meals.

Hmmm, would you accept that? Of c o u rs e n o t, so w ha t to do! I ha d a brainwave and said to the owner that I will be back shortly and left my partner as collateral until my return.

I went across the road to the Bull Bar to ask the owner Phil if he could lend me some money as I could not

pay my meal at the competition across the road for which I got an earful of insults and the money. (yes I had to pay it back) Went back to Fredericks, paid the bill and my partner was allowed to le a ve w ith me a nd by tha t time the candle had gone out.

GALA Dinner to commemorate the 75th anniversary o VTHE beautifully clear skies above the The Royal Air Forces Association’s Gala dinner on Saturday evening at Tamisa Golf, could not have paid a more fitting tribute to the pilots and crews who lost their lives some 75 years ago while fighting in the Battle of Britain.

After a few fitting words of memorial and a minute’s silence, the evening got under way with a wonderful dinner enjoyed by some 50 ex-service-

men, RAF Association members and guests.

As the memories and stories fuelled the conversation, the raffle and sweepstake filled the coffers with the evening raising €548 to aid the RAFA in their welfare work.

The welfare work that is carried out on behalf of the RAF family here on the Costa del Sol has proved indispensable to many ex-RAF members who find themselves in need of help.

Their motto of ‘Friendship, Help and Support’ has, and continues to aid RAF personnel and their families who have dedicated their lives to their country.

The mission is to ensure that their sacrifice does not end in suffering, poverty or loneliness.

Since 2006, they have dispensed on average €40,000 per year to needy cases, making around 70 welfare visits and travelling over 3,000km a year.

Eye-candy for a good cause as calendar launched MANY of the glamorous models posed with their own dogs

By Eleanor Hawkins NEXT week, October 9, the

Last Chance Animal Rescue Calendar will be presented at last at a launch party at Mar-

bella’s The Boardwalk restaurant.

A charity calendar with a difference, the project arose when Boardwalk manager Kara Robertson teamed up with photographers Rebecca Louise and Gary Tapp in an aim to do something for the Last Chance Rescue charity.

“We wanted to create a charity calendar with a difference which would appeal to a wider audience, not just people who work or volunteer in the rescue industry, so rather than cute puppy pictures we asked beautiful people to pose with rescue dogs,” Kara explained.

Although people tend to think of crazy cat women or animal hoarders when adoption is spoken of, the type of person taking abandoned pets into their homes is changing, the Boardwalk manager continued, and many of the glamourous models featured on

the calendar posed with their own rescue pets.

All proceeds from calendar sales will be going to save dogs as the printing costs were donated

by Jackson Grundy Real Estate and expenses covered by local sponsors.

Tickets to the launch party at the boardwalk are priced at €50, include a three-course meal, half a bottle of wine, live music and entertainment and a copy of the calendar.

Call 952 864 736 for book-

ings or calendar purchases.

Bignonias are spectacular climbers CAN be used for climbing over walls or through the upper growth of tall trees, or covering dead trees and gazebos Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner

By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.

BIGNONIAS as a family come into their own in the autumn after the first rains have dampened the roots and temperatures have dropped five degrees or more.

The exuberant pink flowered Podranea ricasoliana, pink Contesa Sara trumpet vine can be seen climbing over walls, climbing through the upper growth of tall trees, covering dead trees and gazebos and even covering entire houses if let rip some years ago with no annual pruning except around doorways and windows.

This bignonia can also be used for ground cover as an almost entirely pink carpet on a bank or flat ground. In general it will flower until the first frosts and is best given a heavy winter prune each year.

The quieter evergreen Pandorea jasminoides, Bower vine, with white or pink flowers is sedate in comparison and makes a neat statement if trained in the style of a stephanotis on a wall or trained up through the leaves of a moderate sized carob tree to flower on the top like snow on the peak of a mountain. Mine I just prune to keep tidy throughout the year.

There are still bright red orange waxy flowers on Campis grandiflora, Chinese trumpet vines but since this variety does flower throughout the summer it is past its best in most gardens. However it only grows to a couple of metres so a dead heading is possible and this will still stimulate some new flowering shoots.

The last to flower are the less exuberant red, orange and yellow Tecomaria capensis, Cape honeysuckle, plants. In general these make colourful statements in mixed hedgerows or on the walls of

houses or sheds. But with patience they can be trained to grow through open medium sized trees such as half dead pine trees.

New plants can be propagated by burying the end of new growth into the ground or into compost filled pots.

Cuttings can also be successful.

So added to climbing bougainvillaeas, jasmines and passion flowers the vertical dimensions of Spanish gardens are a delight at present and can continue for many weeks along the coast and in inland valleys.

Lower down the heart of gardens are also colourful with strongly growing autumn flowering sages, tulbaghias or society garlics, marsh hibiscus in the shallows of ponds, euryops, margeritas, leonotis, lantanas of all colours and heights, late flowering lavenders and roses, multi-mixed coloured mirabilis, etc. It is still dark being early morning so I cannot wander round the garden to see what I have forgotten.

And of course the autumn garden is not only colourful but also productive. In my case tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, courgettes, onions, carrots, radishes, lettuces, cauliflowers and a good mix of tasty basils are currently being harvested from raised beds and builders buckets.

The 800-square-metre allotment was given up a year ago as now approaching 80 years of age, an increase of thievery, tribes of roaming wild boar now that a decreasing number of hunters can’t control their numbers, and kilos of wind-blown and waterborne weed seeds make the once very productive vegetable growing campo around our village both physically and economically non-viable. Sadly it is now almost entirely abandoned. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com October 2015

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 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you.

We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

For this presentation, the ‘Astranaut’ style base-camp - taking weeks of hard work to construct – replicates a Space station.

Between September 24 and October 9, over 3,500 Opel dealers and fleet buyers will enjoy driving this new Astra, both on test circuits and roads in the beautiful surroundings of the Sierra Nevada.

The road routes were specifically designed to test the new personal GPS online and service assistant ‘Opel OnStar’.

This unique location in the Spanish desert was constructed in 26 days by over 300 men and women.

Over 50 lorries transported the materials in containers with over 15 kilometres of electric cable and water

pipeline being used to provide infrastructures to 250 luxury tents.

Each tent has within it luxury sleeping accommodation, shower and toilet facilities and air conditioning to create

this unique experience better known as ‘Glamping.’

The new Astra is more agile, it is 200kg lighter than the previous model and is also equipped with technology

normally associated with higher class models including: Matrix LED headlights and ‘OnStar’ GPS communication systems.

The manufacturer has already re-

ceived 30,000 orders ahead of the launch date – October 10 – making this one of the best Opels of all time!

In an exclusive interview with Clive Greenhalgh, managing director of Circuito Mike G Guadix, he had the following observations on the car which he says handles superbly on both the road and the circuit.

He was astounded by the quality of the soundproofing of the new Astra as there is negligible wind noise even at high speeds and is way ahead of its current market competition.

For those who enjoy the thrill of driving, Circuito Mike G Guadix regularly arranges track days for cars and motorbikes for both experienced and first time track drivers and anyone interested can contact David on 619476991 or mail info@circuitode guadix.com.
