Clear up or sell OWNERS of empty, dilapidated homes in Casares’ historical centre are to start receiving letters next month ordering them to either fix their homes or sell up.

Following multiple complaints over the state of some old properties, the council has decided to enforce regulations to make sure minimum health and safety levels are maintained.

Adoption boost SO FAR this year, 474 animals have been adopted from Fuengirola’s municipal animal shelter. Since January 1, 203 dogs, 111 cats and various other pets have found new homes, the council and refuge management reported, a 93 per cent increase on the number of adoptions over the same period in 2014.

Tower repairs at last ONE of Marbella’s most emblematic landmarks of old, the Torre del Cable out at sea off the beach of the same name, is likely to be repaired following a verbal agreement from the

Rain causes chaos MANY roads in local towns and villages were affected by flooding By Eleanor Hawkins TORRENTIAL rains once again hit the Costa del Sol on Monday morning (October 26) causing flooding and incidents in various towns and villages. Two schools in Alhaurin de la Torre were affected, with a playground wall collapsing at one and another being closed due to leaky roofs. In Mijas, the Isla Mariana roundabout in Las Lagunas and the San Sebastian school were both affected by flooding. In Benalmadena, road surfaces were broken up by pressure as drains failed to cope with the downpour and the fire brigade was kept busy cutting off underpasses and securing dangerous buildings which started to shed parts of their facades. Once again, Malaga Airport’s T3 terminal roof sprung leaks and roads in the area looked more like swimming pools as the storm passed over. The A7 motorway in particular became dangerous as rain was so heavy, surface water so deep and visibility so poor, drivers were forced to reduce their speed to a crawl and use their hazard lights.

Architect Saint A controversial matter

CASA BATLLO BARCELONA: One example of Gaudi’s work in the city. By John Smith BORN in 1852 to a family of artisans in Tarragona whose ancestors had emigrated from France in the 17th century, Antoni Gaudí was a sickly child who suffered from rheumatism at an early age. As he grew up, he trekked around Catalonia observing nature which was to influence his future development. A solitary figure who embraced vegetarianism and the catholic religion, he never married and it is said only ever showed any interest in just one woman, who did not reciprocate his feelings. Although forced to undertake national service, he was on sick leave most of the

time and took advantage of this to study architecture. When he graduated in 1878, the director of the college said to him ‘We have given this academic title to either a fool or a genius. Time will tell.’ He was of course a genius and the leader of the Catalan Modernist movement, creating designs of all sorts which took inspiration from the art nouveau era and nature in general. Looking around Barcelona, there are many examples of his virtuosity, the most noticeable perhaps being the Sagrada Família (Church of the Holy Family) which was started in 1882 and may be finished by 2026.

HAVING died under the wheels of a tram in Barcelona, Antoni Gaudí has won much posthumous praise but perhaps the most unusual and possibly controversial matter surrounding the man known as ‘God’s Architect’ is the proposal that he should be declared a saint of the Catholic Church.

THE DGT traffic authority has launched a new surveillance campaign on secondary roads in Malaga Province. Of the 22 people who have died on Malaga’s roads so far this year, 70 per cent did so in accidents on secondary roads, the DGT reported, which has led it to increase surveillance. Spot checks have been planned to test for alcohol and drugs, announced provincial DGT leader Trinidad Hernandez. Hernandez has urged drivers to keep their vehicles in good condition and drive carefully, and stressed that speeding is the main cause of accidents on this type of road.

blame to anyone but something should be done to make sure no more cases like that of my niece happen in Spain.” The Spanish Medicine Agency admitted that there is a worldwide shortage of the vaccine and it may not be resolved in Spain until at least 2017. Garcia continued: “My niece’s tragic death could have been avoided if the vaccinations had been available. I don’t understand how there can be a shortage in Spain in this day and age.”

With growing concern from mothers-to-be, the head of Public Health Yolanda Gonzalez denied there being an outbreak of whooping cough in Malaga. She said that the illness, caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacteria, runs in cycles with periods of increased cases known as epidemic waves. Spain has been in a wave since 2010, which reached Malaga in 2011. Cases increased from four or five cases per year to 28 in 2011, 36 in 2012, 60 in 2013 and 36 in 2014. The injections are not given routinely to pregnant women in Andalucia but doctors recommend them to offer babies some protection

until they can be vaccinated at two months. The worst effects of the illness, which is very contagious, are in children under the age of one. Gonzalez spoke of the tragic death of the baby and said there hadn’t been a death from whooping cough in the province for many years. “Vaccinations have drastically reduced the number of cases,” Gonzalez said. Garcia added that Andalucian MP and former mayor of Fuengirola Esperanza Oña had contacted his sister-in-law to say how sorry she was and tell her she would be taking the matter up with the Andalucian Parliament to try and find a solution to the problem.

Estepona faces a large bill COUNCIL will now be required to take action By John Smith AFTER seven years of debate and court review, the Estepona Council has been instructed to pay damages to 20 owners of apartments in the marina due to the noise from bars and clubs which it did nothing about. The owners took the council to court after it failed to do anything, even though they sent written requests in 2008 asking for action to reduce the noise pollution and let them sleep at night. Although initially a court found in the favour of the council, the owners appealed and the Andalucian High Court has reversed the decision and has ordered the council to pay damages to an amount to be calculated

using the base market rental price for their homes as a reference. The owners have asked for â‚Ź2.3 million in damages for loss of income as they were unable to rent their flats out because of the noise. Mayor Jose Maria Garcia Urbano blamed his predecessors for failing to act and suggested that their assets be used to cover damage payments as their alleged negligence is found to have affected the public. The council will also be required to take ongoing action to introduce measures to control noise in the marina. Several years ago there were a number of even noisier discos underneath the rows of apartments just above the marina which were closed down.

While the attacker remains in intensive care in a serious condition the police officer has been released from hospital and the bystander was reported by hospital sources to be doing well.

Better Banus security call PRESIDENT of the Puerto Banus Business Association (AEPB), Giuseppe Russo, wants to revisit a project to put CCTV cameras in place to deter crime, as security is still one of the main worries for Puerto Banus businesses. He said, “Puerto Banus isn’t any old place, it’s an international brand and must therefore be treated as such. You can’t treat Puerto Banus like any old district,” In a meeting with the council, he stressed the need for preventive measures

which included the installation of CCTV cameras, to improve security. “It’s a preventive measure that we believe will put an end to petty theft, robbery and attacks,” he said. He also asked the local authority to include the measure in municipal regulations: “It’s something we’ve been asking for for years and the authorities have always put barriers in our way.” Mayor Jose Bernal said “Puerto Banus is an icon and we’ll take firm steps to recover its image.”

Mother-in-law in jail for stabbing AN elderly Ukrainian woman from Coin has been sentenced to four years in a psychiatric jail for attempted murder for having stabbed her daughterin-law, who she was convinced was trying to poison her, in the back. One day in October 2014, the Malaga Provincial Court sentence declared, the two women were in the kitchen preparing a meal when, without saying a word, the 73year-old mother-in-law took up an 11 centimetre knife and

stabbed the younger woman. The woman, who suffers a mental condition which causes her to have paranoid delusions, admitted the crime but said she didn’t intend to kill her, just to stop trying to poison them. She has also been forbidden from approaching her victim or her grandchildren for five years, as psychiatrists reported there was no way of knowing whether the delusions would continue and lead her to further attacks.

Plan for compost plant provisionally approved RESIDENTS horrified to discover industrial scale waste plant may be built By John Smith RESIDENTS in the areas of Las Joyas and Resin were horrified to discover the fact that the Estepona Town Hall has given provisional permission for an industrial scale waste composting plant to be built in a protected green area. According to local planning requirements, it is expected that such a project should have a two kilometre ‘buffer zone’ which when measured, would incorporate thousands of properties and could cause considerable distress to residents, some of whom will be as near as 300 metres to the planned site. Potentially there could be unpleasant smells, round the clock noise with heavy goods traffic on roads and insects, and possible pollution of the river.

Man accused of Casares fires GOAT herder was arrested in 2001 for the same offence By John Smith A CASARES goat herder has been charged with allegedly starting seven forest fires in the area, three of them this summer. Investigations began in August after a forest fire broke out in the area known as Paraje Cortijo Baeza, which was followed in September by another two fires in different areas that

affected about 85 hectares and put local residents at risk. During investigations officers decided the fires were started intentionally in areas mostly used for grazing and that the fires had been started to boost growth as grazing grows back more quickly after a fire. Following investigation within the area the officers gathered enough evidence to

accuse a 46-year-old goat herder of starting not just those three fires but also another four similar forest fires: one in September 2008 and the other three in September 2013. This man was previously arrested in 2001after a fire that broke out on September 11 that year in the Ba単os de la Hedionda area of Casares which burned an area of 80 hectares.

Three swindlers arrested THREE men accused of dishonestly defrauding a go-kart and motorbike from a vendor who advertised them for sale through a website in August were arrested between October 16 and 19 by National Police. It appears that two of the men agreed to pay cash into his bank account for the ve-

hicles when they went to view them whilst the third man deposited an empty envelope into a cash machine and sent a whatsapp image to the man which he took as confirmation that the payment had been made. Once identified and tracked down by the police, the three men aged 49, 25 and 20 were arrested for alleged swindling.

Improvements in Torreblanca By Eleanor Hawkins THREE areas of Torreblanca are in for some TLC from the council, which has announced it will be spending €720,000 on three projects in the area. The first is a new 5,000 square metre park between Calle Alondras and Calle Golondrinas with a budget of €265,866. Expected to take 75 days to create, the park will include a children’s play area,

sports track, paths and gardens. The remaining €455,000 will be spent on renovating two streets, Calle Madroño and Calle Aguilas. On Calle Madroño, a 250 metre stretch between Calle Las Cañas and Calle Las Palmas will be completely renewed and provided with a children’s play area and a small park. The project will create 12 jobs and is due to take 90 days to complete. Meanwhile on Calle Aquilas,

Mayor Ana Mula explained, the project is more one of creating the street than renovating it as currently it is a track which will now be turned into a proper street. Along with drainage and other services underneath, the project includes six lamp-posts, two litter bins and 16 trees. Eight jobs will be created and the work is expected to take 23 days. Work on both streets, the mayor reported, should start in November.

Camino de San Rafael when the man tried to get into the women’s car and started an argument before pulling out the knife and wounding them both. Another man, said to be Nigerian as well, tried to assist the women but was also attacked and suffered a cut to his torso. The attacker then fled the

scene and hid after getting rid of the knife while his victims chased him. They recovered the knife and handed it over to officers at the scene. A search of the area revealed the man hidden in some bushes and he was arrested. The victims were taken to hospital for treatment.

An employment surge for Malaga MORE people are in work since before the recession By Declan Scanlan THE number of jobless people in Malaga is at its lowest in five years and the number of people in work is the highest since the recession began. The Active Population Survey (EPA) of the third quarter of 2015 reported that there were 236,000 jobless people in the province, a figure which is

9,900 fewer than the previous survey and 8,400 fewer than one year ago. According to the EPA report, unemployment is now at 28.97 per cent, the lowest in all of Andalucia (the regional average is 31.73 per cent). The EPA revealed that this new drop in unemployment was down to two factors: one is the creation of jobs, which was-

n’t as strong as during the second quarter, and the other is the reduction in active population. The National Statistics Institute data showed that Services was the best sector with 4,400 more people in work. Construction on the other hand broke its recovery trend and lost 700 workers. Industry also failed to create jobs and the number of people in work fell by 1,400.

Green light for Metro share sale THE sale of 39.4 per cent of Malaga Metro to two Australian investment groups and one from France for â‚Ź108 million has been given the green light. The path to the sale is clear as no other private member of the Underground shareholders has exercised their right to equal the offer received by the three com-

panies looking to offload their shares in the Metro. The companies are Cajamar (18.86 per cent), Azvi (11.96 per cent) and Sando (8.57 per cent). The Junta de Andalucia regional government also announced on October 9 that it would not be exercising its right to equal the offer.

Residents complain about carwash HOMEOWNERS unhappy about excessive noise By John Smith A PETITION signed by 22 residents of Calle Madreselva in Las Lagunas (Mijas Costa) has been submitted to the town hall to complain about the excessive noise they claim is coming from a carwash which runs from 8am to 11pm. “We want to rest. This carwash should be on an industrial estate. When I bought my home

in 1989 there was nothing here. Two or three months ago they changed the machinery and it’s driving us mad,” said Mercedes Medina, one of the affected homeowners. Another resident, Isabel Bellido, said “the noise from the carwash is horrendous. It’s even worse in the summer, we have to pull the blinds down and turn the TV up. Everyone is affected but hardly anyone

dare to complain. ” According to a spokesperson from the carwash, it was their understanding that municipal bylaws allow the machinery to run until 11pm although councillor Andres Ruiz said “We’ll order police surveillance regarding the noise and if the timetables are not met we will take measures. A carwash shouldn’t be open later than 8pm.”

Stealing maid arrested A MAID has been arrested by the National Police in Malaga for allegedly stealing more than €5,000 worth of jewellery from her elderly employer’s home in the city. After receiving a report from the victim’s daughter on October 17 that the jewellery had gone missing but there were no signs of

a break-in, police investigators decided to search the home of the 34-year-old maid, who had been given the job a few weeks beforehand, and found all the missing jewellery. The arrestee admitted to having pocketed the jewellery while doing the housework.

Winter boost for Malaga airport AIRLINES are expecting a bumper winter season By Steve Walsh SO the summer has finished for another year and taken the tourist trade along with it… Or has it? According to the Airports authority AENA, airlines are expecting a bumper winter season and have already increased their schedule by 8.5 per cent from last year to accommodate for the increase in passengers. It’s not only the sun that attracts people to the Costa del Sol. With the Sierra

Nevada mountains and ski resorts of Granada, there is a huge winter influx of tourists as well. In addition, many homeowners return to the coast for the winter from Scandinavia and the UK. These factors and more each year increase movements to and from Malaga-Costa del Sol airport. The number of seats which will be available this year has also increased by 10.5 per cent for the winter

season, which is classed as running from Sunday October 25, to March 26, 2016. Malaga Airport predicts managing more that 30,100 commercial flights this winter with 4,994,014 seats available on the 150 routes that will connect Malaga to a total of 88 destinations. Helped by new airlines such as Norwegian that have increased their routes and services, the strength of the European and domestic markets account for the majority

of passengers. However, AENA state that the American

and African markets are also on the up. AENA go on to say that; “There will be 8.5 per cent more flights to other Spanish airports than over winter 2014-2015, with more than 7,300 flights planned, and 1,014,366 seats available, which equates to a 13.1 per

cent increase on last winter. The UK is still the main destination with 41 of the 150 routes, 7.9 per cent more seats and 6 per cent more flights to the UK than any other destination. But wherever they are coming from or going to, the good news is; they will all be using Malaga Airport.

PASSENGER INCREASE: Schedule has gone up 8.5 per cent compared to last year.

Benahavis police only have one patrol car in use NO investment in resources By Declan Scanlan THE Local Police in Benahavis have just one of its four patrol cars up and running, the Professional Union of Municipal Police officers in Spain has complained. The association reported that officers have been told to reduce patrols as much as possible and only go out when called out by members of the public, emergency services or the Guardia Civil. The risk is that if the one remaining vehicle breaks down then the outskirts of

the village will be left with no police services. Of the four vehicles, one is more than 12 years old and has failed its ITV. Two more are in the garage, one since July 29 when an officer was slightly injured after having to jump out of the vehicle on the move due to a mechanical failure, the union reported. The union protested that there is no investment in human and material resources to allow the police force to provide citizens with an efficient service.

It also criticised the mayor for declaring to the press that he runs one of the councils in Spain with the most money in its accounts (more than â‚Ź40 million) while the sole public security service in the area, one which is operational 24 hours a day, is so neglected. Last year, the union said, the police force requested at least â‚Ź60,000 be included in the 2015 budget to purchase two new patrol vehicles, but the amount was reduced and so far no purchases have been made.

Getting ready for the flu season BEARING in mind that this year is unlikely to be vastly different to any other year, along with the winds and rain, we run the risk of catching the flu! However, as the chilly season begins and temperatures start to drop, the flu-jab campaign heats up as regional health departments spring into action with their respective vaccination campaigns. As of last Monday, October 26, health centres throughout Andalucia were catching up with the rest of the country and beginning to give the jabs to the general public on request. The reason for the slow start to the campaign

in Malaga is due to the fact that the Malaga climate is a little more benign than those of other parts of Spain, and therefore starts later than elsewhere. People over 65, and those who are part of groups at particular risk - who are eligible for the health service - including those with heart or lung problems, and healthcare workers, can ask for an appointment directly at their health centre. For more information, contact the Servicio Andaluz de Salud on: 902 505 060. Or for more general advice visit: www. andalucia.com/health/helpline.htm

Council approves neutering strays MALAGA Council has approved a plan to identify and neuter the almost 2,000 stray or feral cats in the city. A manifesto approved by the Sustainability Commis-

sion includes this and another nine points aimed at protecting and controlling the estimated 120 stray cat colonies in the city, which will be supervised by animal charity volunteers.

Controlled and neutered cat colonies, the council has decided, are the best way to protect the feral cats and reduce the chances of them causing problems.

So far this year, more than 550 women have accessed the free breast screening programme with thankfully only a small number receiving a positive diagnosis.

Monte Malaga hotel sale By John Smith THE management of Cadena Monte has reached an agreement to sell the four star Monte Malaga hotel situated near the beach and Picasso museum which opened in 2005 to Ilunion Hotels, part of the ONCE business group, Europa Press has reported. The hotel staff’s legal representatives have informed them that they will not be affected at all by the change of ownership and the new owners

will take over the entire staff which is in the region of 60 people. Once the sale documents are signed the employees’ contracts with Cadena Monte will be cancelled and the next day they will be given contracts with Ilunion Hotels, which will take over all the previous employers’ obligations and conditions.

Compensation wanted for broken coffin IN May 2014, during a burial ceremony, a step ladder being used by a council team broke, causing the coffin of the dead woman to fall and break in front of mourners and five people were actually injured.

Their lawyer Francisco Montero has indicated that they considered damages of up to €300,000 would be appropriate but according to municipal sources the town hall, its insurer and the deceased’s relatives have reached an agreement for the council to pay €25,000. The number two First Instruction court in Ronda has issued an order for a provisional stay of proceedings on a criminal case launched by the judge against councillor Maria del Carmen Martinez (who in 2014 was responsible for the cemetery, although now this responsibility has been handed over to councillor Antonio Arenas). She has not commented on the matter recently, although when referring to the matter, she originally stated that the council had given orders for the steps not to be used although the family insisted that the steps were rusty and the council was therefore responsible.

By John Smith WHILST other towns and cities in Spain celebrate All Saints Day in their own way, the people of Marbella enjoy the Fiesta Del Toston whereby, according to tradition, they take a trip to the countryside on November 1 with bags of chestnuts which they roast. It is of course an excuse to drink, sing and dance, but the authorities are understandably worried about the risk of fire breaking out (assuming that the heavy rain doesn’t continue). A number of towns in the area have declared that they will start the celebrations early, but the authorities wish to ensure that there are no problems with fires getting out of control and are putting special measures into place from 3pm on Friday October 30 until 8pm on Sunday

ROASTING CHESTNUTS: People of Marbella take a trip into the countryside to celebrate All Saints Day. November 1. To ensure safety, Local, Regional and National Police, Civil Protection, SepronaGuardia Civil, Fire, DYA and 112, as well as delegations of Parks and Gardens, Cleaning

and Provincial Delegation of Environment will all be on alert. As well as the chestnut activities, many will also take the opportunity to visit cemeteries around the area to

remember their departed. The combined events may cause local diversions and road closures and those intending to participate would be well advised to check locally in advance.

Children’s road safety THE 23rd Road Safety Education Campaign, launched by Marbella Town Hall and the Provincial Traffic Authority, will

be teaching schoolchildren in Marbella, Ojen, Istan and Benahavis about road safety during this school year.

COASTAL PATH: Wear and tear is becoming apparent.

Advice needed for wooden boardwalk MAINTENANCE contract will perhaps be put out to tender By Eleanor Hawkins ONE year on from the launch of the Mijas stretch of the Senda Litoral coastal path, the wear and tear it bears is becoming apparent and the council is considering contracting outside maintenance services.

Beaches councillor Angel Nozal explained that experts are needed to keep the wooden boardwalk in good condition, and has invited local carpenters to contact his department to advise municipal technicians on the conditions that should be included in the maintenance contract it is thinking of putting out to tender.

More delays for new La Linea hospital POSSIBLE delay over funding for the partly constructed new hospital in La Linea resulted from a meeting which took place on October 26 between La Linea Mayor Juan Franco and representatives from the Junta de Andalucia regional government’s Health Department. At the meeting which was attended by the mayor, the deputy councillor for Health, Martin Blanco Garcia, and the managing director of the Andalucian Health Service, Jose Manuel Aranda Lara, the solution proposed by the council was not accepted for legal reasons, it was reported. “They told us to talk to the Environmental and Public Works and Development Departments, and

we’ve already asked them for appointments. I’m very worried about the delays, especially as rain could damage the work already done as there are no drains yet, not to mention the dangers of theft and damages to the building,” the mayor said. The council had proposed that the Junta should count exterior work as an extra part of the hospital construction and transfer funds to the council to have it done. “That way the work would be finished on time and we could pay for it without unbalancing our budget,” the mayor said. The health department reported work on the hospital building was going well but drainage, electricity and other services were still pending.

will be given to the food bank. Sr Jimenez said: “Nobody at the headquarters in Sevilla or Malaga know anything about it,” and warned it is a scam. “In Arriate we work with two entities, the council and the fibromyalgia association, and neither are involved,” he said.

First jail term for killing an animal MAN beat horse to death with a metal bar Photo credit Jorge Royan, Wikipedia

HORSE TROTTING: Is a popular pastime in Mallorca. By Declan Scanlan A JUDGE has sent a 41-year-old man from Manacor, Mallorca, to prison on Wednesday October 21 for beating his racehorse to death in 2012. The man was convicted after he beat his horse to death with a metal bar and the judgement marks the first time that anyone has received a jail term for abusing an animal in Spain. Eugenio Sanchez is a resident of Manocar, and his eight-month sentence will be carried out in Palma penitentiary. His request to have the jail sentence commuted to community service was denied by the court.

On handing down the sentence the judge said, “The atrocious death of this racehorse inside his own stall at the racetrack constitutes an aberration in the 21st century.” Sanchez’s horse had just been disqualified from a trotters race when his owner turned on the animal on December 30, 2012. Trotting is popular in Mallorca. Sanchez’s horse lost pace and broke into a gallop which led to its disqualification. It had previously won 24 out of 112 races and earned its two owners almost €6,000 in prize money. The same judge sentenced another man to one year in prison in May for starving his dog to death.

Unsolicited testimonials Using testimonials is an excellent way to enlist customer goodwill

IMAGINE you receive an enquiry from a potential client. Beaming from ear to ear you arrive and prepare to set out your stall. With you are several former clients. This of course is not going to happen. There is an excellent way to enlist customer goodwill. Simply turn up armed with customer testimonials. Sadly, unsolicited customer recommendations take time to gather. A satisfied client can show appreciation in several ways but rarely does it occur to them to set their thanks down in writing. You can invite a client to recommend you in writing. However, a requested testimonial is worthless for good reasons. Although your client likes you and wishes you well he may be merely satisfied with work carried out. This does not imply he feels strongly enough about the quality of your work to compose a written recommendation. Your request poses a dilemma for your buyer. Does he cause offence by refusing you? If inclined towards setting down his thoughts, he might lack

TRIBUTE NOTE: Rarely does a satisfied client show appreciation in writing.

the finesse to do so in a way that is both honest and helpful. For this reason the unsolicited testimonial is worth its weight in gold. Occasionally clients anticipate your desire to use their note of satisfaction. They might head a tribute with ‘To whom it may concern’. If it does not, then you are on the horns of a dilemma; do you request permission to publish his recommendation or do you presume you can. If you request permission, which is granted, it can hardly be described as unsolicited. Therefore, it’s as bent as a dog’s back leg. You have no right to describe the tribute as unsolicited. You are perfectly entitled to publish unless the client has specified that the tribute is for your eyes only. If you do presume the sender is happy for you to publish, there is a small risk that such was not their intention. As far as I can recall I caused offence only on one occasion. The solution is simple: apologise and remove the unsolicited tribute.

Health and safety gone mad again! SCOUTS and Girl Guides banned from marching in Remembrance Sunday parade LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT BIT of a pot-pourri this week. First out of the ‘pot’ is my thanks to everyone for a veritable avalanche of mail re the Tom Jones piece. Most were extremely positive; a number truly mind-boggling and some disturbingly sad. I think it’s now a case of ‘nuff said’. Something that truly made my blood boil was the report that the Scouts and Girl Guides had been banned from marching in a Remembrance Sunday parade, for ‘health and safety’ reasons. The organisation apparently made the decision in case the event was ‘disrupted by protest groups’! Oh? And who might they be, I wonder? I don’t think we have to look too far for the answer to that. When are we going to stop kowtowing to these people, who are hellbent on changing our whole heritage and culture? Ha! Don’t hold yer breath!

Well done, all of you, it has been a real blast. The X factor (what I could watch of it) has to my reckoning hit an all-time low. Classic this week was their interpretation of one of Judge Nick Grimshaw’s statements, when he was referring to the number of seats he was allocated. ‘I wanted to have sex like everyone else,’ it stated. ‘So we had to bring somebody out!’ Headline of the week: ‘England treated my lad like a horse, nags Klopp’. Brilliant! And the biggest revelation of the week. The meaning of Freddie Mercury’s mysterious lyrics for his Bohemian Rhapsody. Despite what they appeared to be, they were in fact a reference to his coming out, his misgivings, and an apology to his mum. Listen again. What a genius!

Costa living at its best THE Costa del Sol is a major draw not just for tourists but for those looking to buy a home

HOTSPOTS: The pretty whitewashed village of Mijas with its narrow, cobbled streets... Inset top: Celebrity favourite Puerto Banus... Bottom: Culture-vultures’ Malaga.

By Declan Scanlan IT is the coast with the best climate in mainland Europe. It boasts renowned beaches, bars and restaurants and has easy access to much of the contin e n t . So wh y wo u ld you want to live anywhere else? The Costa del Sol is one of the top destinations in Europe, not just for tourists, but also for people looking to find a se c o n d ho me abroad or those looking to retire in a pleasant climate. So let’s take a closer look at what you can expect in some o f t h e m a i n t o w n s from Gibraltar to Malaga. Gibraltar or ‘The Rock’ is the place for a retro-

B ritis h ex p e rie n ce in t he sun. Fish and chip shops, English pubs, and familiar shopping chains are commonplace. The nature reserve houses Barbary Macaques, and is one of the main attractions along with the underground maze that is the Gibraltar tunnels. The main event though is the Jurassic limestone ridge w h ic h is 4 2 6 metre s h igh and is one of the continent’s landmark attractions. Estepona is a top destination, with La Rada and El Cristo among its range of Mediterranean beaches. Located by the Sierra Bermeja mountains the town’s narrow cobbled streets, bodegas, bars and fishing port ma k e it a g rea t p lac e for

27KM of coastline, with 24 beaches, makes Marbella a top tourist destination

tourists and locals alike. M ar be lla is one of the most famous tourist destinations on the Costa del Sol, a nd its 27 kilome tre s of coastline has 24 beaches, numerous golf courses and ports. In the old town, narrow cobbled streets and colourful squares have an array of boutique shops and art galle rie s . The a ptly-na me d Plaza de los Naranjos is

close to the main street and is a n ide a l pla c e to ta ke time out among the orange trees. Puerto Banus is one of Marbella’s most renowned suburbs and is six kilometres from the main town. The playground for the rich a nd fa mous is offic ia lly named Puerto Jose Banus after the architect who designed the town as a highe nd ma rina a nd s hopping complex. The shops and restaurants are some of the most expensive in the area although the ma in a ttra c tion for ma ny people is celebrity spotting, especially during the summer, and checking out the luxury yachts. Fuengirola’s eight kilo-

metres of beaches make it a water sports haven although there is plenty more on offer, including the Arabic Sohail Castle and the Bioparc, an ‘immersion zoo’ which takes visitors into the native habitat of the animals. Once a small fishing village, Fuengirola is now a must-see on the Costa del Sol and is close to some of the best golf courses in the area. Mi j as is famous for its charming white village 428 metres above sea level in the mountains, and its golf courses. The village is set among evergreen pine trees and offers donkey rides to explore its secrets. On Mijas coast, the tourist resort comes to life,

and one of t he m ost renowned golf complexes on t he cont i nent i s Mi j as Golf. Malaga is now one of the main cities in the south of Spain after a successful cultural makeover. Once taken for granted as a gateway to Andalucia, the city now attracts visitors for its renewed historic centre, Gothic cathedral, 11th-century Gibralfaro castle and much more. Malaga has more museums than any other city in Andalucia. Highlights include the Picasso Museum, the Thyssen Museum and the Revello del Toro Museum . The t apas bar s and restaurants are among the best in the area.

Property prices on the Costa del Sol have now stabilised WE have a sustainable property recovery with month on month sales rising By John Graham

PROPERTY sales in the Costa del Sol have increased every month over the last two years. Working as a property investment advisor and qualified senior surveyor in the Costa del Sol and the UK, I have seen a positive change in the property market over the last three years. Throughout 2014, property sales on the Costa del Sol were already showing signs of recovery, with increases in month on month property sales compared to the same months in 2013, but the key question at the time was: would prices fall further and is this a sustainable recovery? Fast forward to the third quarter of 2015, and I can give you the answer to the question: property prices have now stabilised and the recovery has proved to be sustainable. Great news for the Costa del Sol and everyone working in the real estate business. In fact, not only has the Costa del Sol

LEADING THE WAY: Property sales on the Costa del Sol are buoyant. property market proved sustainable but 2015 month on month property sales’ figures show an increase on the same monthly figures in 2014, according to the National Institute for Statistics. The Costa del Sol is also leading the way in Spain on property sales, buyers’ confidence is high and the Spanish economy is now the fourth economy in Europe based on GDP.

The improved economics of Spain is attracting more and more international investors and international developers who are buying land along the coast from banks and landowners, and this trend should continue in 2016. With the increase of buyers coming to the Costa del Sol we are now seeing an increase in the revitalisation of developments that have been dormant and are

now being completed and offered for sale, such as in the Puerto Banus area and Las Terrazas de Cortesin luxury development. However, the majority of properties on the Costa del Sol on sale today are existing properties of all types. From two bedroom apartments starting at around €150,000, to villas from around €1 million.

Successful real estate fair reported MORE than 6,200 people attended the SIMed Mediterranean Real Estate fair held at Malaga City’s Palacio de Ferias y Congresos last weekend. The 11th edition of the fair, organisers reported, hosted stands from more than 40 businesses, 30 per cent more than last year, which were offering more than 5,000 properties of all types both for sale and for rent, from residential and commercial properties to garages and empty plots in the city and along the Costa del Sol. This year, attending business representatives explained after the threeday fair closed its doors on Sunday (October 25), visitors were showing a firmer interest in buying with more than 1,000 contacts made, which are expected to close deals over the next few weeks or months.

Footballer sells his love-nest CLARENCE SEEDORF, who played with Real Madrid football team from 1996 to 1999, has sold his love-nest in Madrid for around €3 million. Built as a wedding gift for his wife, the house was designed as a hideaway in the woods, with a unique 260-square-metre three-storey design. The design, ordered ad hoc by the footballer and signed by Nodo17 architect studio, made the sale a complicated, drawn-out one, explained luxury estate agency Promora, which has finally sealed the deal between Seedorf and the director of a successful IBEX company. Boasting a vertical garden on one side, the home is open plan with hardly any inside walls and glass facades that let daylight flood in. With a single bedroom and terrace on the top floor, dressing room, sauna and Jacuzzi on the middle floor and livingdining area and kitchen with a central fireplace on the ground floor, the home was designed as a love-nest and is perfect for a couple but is impractical for anything else.

Year to end with increased sales, agency predicts

Continued growth in nearly all regions

MOST demanded main residences will be three-bedroomed flats

THE latest data released on October 27 by the Statistical Information Centre of Notaries, concerning commercial, real estate and mortgage transactions authorised by a notary of the different regions during the second quarter of 2015 makes very encouraging reading. Home purchases and sales during this period showed that all regions recorded increases except Navarra. Some regions such as La Rioja, Cantabria and the Balearic Islands recorded annual growth rates above 25 per cent. In terms of price however some regions continue to show slight reductions, compared to others and it is difficult to see a pattern between the growth of housing transactions and the price per square metre, although, a slight increase of 1.0 per cent per year was noted, following four consecutive quarters of decline. As would be expected, the growth in sales also showed an increase in mortgage loans in all regions except, again, Navarra. The average amount of a mortgage also showed an increase except for La Rioja.

PROPERTY MARKET: Property sales returning to normality with more sales and recovering prices. BY the time 2015 ends, the property market will register an increase of more than 25 per cent in sales, according to a new report by Servihabitat. In its Spanish Residential Property Report, the agency predicts that by the end of 2015, there will have been more than 400,000 sales, a 25.6 per cent increase on figures from last year, and the tendency is expected to continue in 2016 reaching an estimated 460,000 sales by the end of the year. As a consequence, Servihabitat expects prices to have gone up by 2.6 per cent by the end of this year and 6 per cent by the

end of 2016. This, the agency reports, shows that the sector is gradually returning to normality with increased numbers of sales and recovering prices. The report predicts that most demanded main residences will be three-bedroomed flats with a size of between 90 and 100 square metres, while the holiday homes most in demand will be one or two bedroom, 50 to 65-square-metre flats. Average sale prices are expected to range from €79,000 to €167,000 depending on location, although the lowest sale price the agency predicts seeing is €15,000 and the

highest €3.5 million. By region, the Canary Islands, Madrid, the Basque Country and La Rioja are where the greatest increases in sales are expected with more than 20 per cent rises predicted for this year and next. The holiday home market will be particularly active on the Costa del Sol, the Alicante coast and the Balearics. Price recovery will be most apparent this year in Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y Leon, Servihabitat predicts, while for 2016 increases of particular note are expected in Galicia, Madrid, Murcia, Aragon and Extremadura.

2,000 more properties for social housing SAREB, the so-called ‘bad bank’ in Spain has announced that it will double the original amount of properties which were to be made available for social housing across Spain. The Management Company for Assets Arising from the Banking Sector Reorganisation (Sareb) is a private entity that was created in November 2012, in order to help clean up the Spanish financial sector, and more specifically the institutions that have been experiencing issues as a result of excessive exposure to the real estate sector. The majority of Sareb’s share capital is private, with 55 per cent (mainly represented by 14 national banks and 10 insurance companies), whilst 45 per cent is owned by the Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB), the public entity created in order to manage the banking sector restructuring process.

Sareb’s managing director Jaime Echegoyen made an appearance before the Senate’s Economic Commission to present the bank’s results for the first half of 2015

and he took the opportunity to make the housing announcement at the same time. The number of properties to be made available for social housing is now 4,000. Since its inauguration the bank has made social housing deals with such regional governments as Catalonia, Galicia, Aragon, the Balearics and the Basque Country.

Shared apartments continue to be sought after A REPORT issued by property advertising website idealista. com concerning shared apartments, suggests that the interest in rooms for rent in Spain has grown by 12 per cent over the last 12 months. It has risen from 14,664,547 online searches carried out in the first six months of 2014, to 16,449,121 searches carried out in the same period for this year. It must be remembered, however, that whilst having a wide range of lookers, this report is based on the findings of just their website. They report that although prices have remained relatively stable this year, increasing slightly to around an average €280 per month, some cities like Barcelona and Madrid have seen prices go up, with the biggest increase of 4.6 per cent being in Burgos. Other locations such as Cordoba and La Coruña have conversely seen drops of over 5 per cent. Cities with large student or transient populations are popular with those who rent rooms and unsurprisingly Madrid and Barcelona offer more than 50 per cent of all of the rooms offered to rent through the site.

Mayor of Mijas halts early sale FOLLOWING a meeting with representatives of the Manos Limpios - Clean Hands - union, the mayor of Mijas, Juan Carlos Maldonado of the Ciudadaos party, has agreed that the town hall will delay the future sale by auction of properties seized over tax debts. The union has suggested that 70 properties had been sold very quickly during the last two years at prices which in some cases were less than the debt owed. This meeting and decision follows news that there is an official investigation currently taking place into possible irregularities with the auction sales that have already taken place.

Second homes under the spotlight as Spain fifth on the European list SPANISH people were found to favour rural areas and villages

SECOND HOMES: Choice of location is found to be influenced by age, location and income. By Eleanor Hawkins ONE in five people in Spain own a second home, according to a study by RE/MAX Europa, which has placed the country fifth on the list of European countries for ownership. Greece came first on the list with almost one third of the popu-

lation found to own a second home, followed by Poland and Turkey. At the opposite end of the scale came Germany, where just 5.4 per cent of the population were found to have a second or holiday home. In Europe in general, one in six people were found to own second homes. One third of them use

them for holidays, while 24 per cent spend their weekends there and 9 per cent use them for work. Location-wise, people in Spain were found to favour rural areas and villages the most (44.1 per cent and 37.3 per cent respectively) with 59.8 per cent of owners spending holidays and 35.3 per cent spending weekends there,

while just 2.9 per cent use them for work reasons. The choice to buy a second home was found in Spain to be influenced by age, location and income. The Spanish residents most likely to invest in a second or holiday home were found to be in their 40s, live in cities and earn more than €4,000 per month.

Costa del Golf properties LUXURY apartments built on a world-class golf course are a recipe for success THE Costa del Sol has Scotland to thank for inventing the game of golf back in the 1300s when the first game of golf was played on the site of St Andrews University, the home of golf. However, the Costa del Sol has also some claim to fame, it is also officially referred to as the Costa del Golf because it has one of the most concentrated number of golf courses in Spain, around 70 of them. Golfers rub shoulders with millionaires and celebrities on the tee and in the clubhouse; all share a passion for golf and most also share a passion for owning a home on the golf course. You don’t need to be a millionaire to buy a property on the golf course; for example, if you’re looking for a good quality two bedroom, two bathroom apartment, you would pay between €120,000 to €350,000 in Mijas Golf, €150,000 to €700,000 in the Nueva Andalucia Golf Valley, €220,000 to €400,000 in Guadalmina Golf Alta and €275,000 to €400,000 in Sotogrande Golf Alto and Almenara Golf. Most golf courses on the Costa del Sol have residential property as a part of the overall plan. In addition, many have well established property developments on the golf course such as Mijas GC, La Quinta GC, La Duquesa and other golf clubs including Finca Cortesin GC, Flamingos GC and La Cala GC

are offering new developments to buyers. The golf courses designed by some of the golf world’s big names can add a premium of between 10 and 25 per cent to the value of an apartment or villa. Buying a property which overlooks the fairways and the lakes of a magnificent golf course can be a huge bonus in terms of price and prestige. The combination of a world-class golfers who can create challenging golf courses with the skills of experienced developers, who build luxury apartments and villas, is a proven recipe for success on the Costa del Sol, such as Finca Cortesin, Valderrama, La Zagaleta and La Quinta. Also many home-owners enjoy the extra lifestyle benefits of having access to the facilities of luxurious hotels that have been built on the golf course, restaurants, sophisticated lounge bars, exclusive spas, beauticians, sporting facilities and swimming pools, all add value to properties on or near the golf course.

Campo de Gibraltar prices begin to recover

UPWARD TREND: La Linea ended the third quarter with an 8 per cent rise in average sale prices. By Eleanor Hawkins FOLLOWING years of plummeting property prices, a recent study has revealed they are slowing and starting to go up at last in the Campo de Gibraltar area. In a study on prices of property advertised by both

private owners and agencies, idealista.com property website has reported that La Linea ended the third quarter of this year with an average sale price per square metre of €1,100, 8 per cent higher than at the end of 2014. Prices hit rock bottom in the coastal town last December,

registering an average per square metre for secondhand homes of just €1,010. Since then, they have been slowly crawling upwards after seven years in freefall. While in December 2008 the average price was €1,908 per square metre, with a 90-metre home selling for about

€170,000, by last December the same home would have cost just €100,000, idealista.com reported. If the current trend continues, the website report stated, the year could well end with a positive result for the first time since the beginning of the recession.

Is your community caught in a contract unnecessarily? Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

COMMUNITIES finding themselves in an ongoing contract that they have become unhappy with, will often mistakenly assume they cannot change or annul their contract. However, this is not always the case. Contracts with companies for cleaning, gardening and lift maintenance, etc, more often than not, are written specifically for such companies by their lawyers and many are fixed for a minimum period of maybe five years or even more. Once signed, the community assume they are committed to abide by the terms of the contract until it expires or pay to get out of it. After all a contract is a contract. When a community is discontent with the level of service provided or the charges no longer reflect market prices or conditions, then in theory, the only way to break off the arrangement would be to either demonstrate this discontentment in court, which is difficult, or pay cancellation charges and penalties. Fortunately in the eyes of the law communities in Spain

are considered to be consumers and as such enjoy a good level of consumer protection. The consumer protection law RDL 1/2007, modified by law 3/2014, specifically addresses contracts which run for a period of time longer than necessary and contracts that only benefit one side, it allows for these contracts to be legally annulled and declared void. Even if a contract does not run for an unnecessarily long period but contains a clause that says, should the community cancel their contract, they agree to continue to pay a percentage of the fees, sometimes 50 per cent, until the end of the agreed period, it is still possible to have these contracts annulled without paying the penalty charge. These kinds of clauses could be considered illegal, with the court easily finding in favour of the community (consumer) for two reasons. Firstly such contracts are one sided, should the contract be terminated prematurely the only compensation is to the company. However if the company terminates the contract early there is no compensation for the community. Secondly, punitive payments for cancellation or charging an ongoing percentage of the fee for the time remaining on a cancelled contract is prohibited by law. The only payment due to a company would be compensation for actual expenditure laid out on behalf of the community

in order to fulfil the contract, for example additional employees or extra equipment, etc. Imposing penalties is prohibited. Other illegal but often common clauses found in contracts are; to fix the company’s home address as the jurisdiction where court proceedings, should they arise, take place and not the actual jurisdiction where the community is located. Another, the company obliges a community to renounce some of their consumer rights or when contractual obligations are not reciprocal to both sides. These would usually be considered an infringement of a community’s (consumer’s) rights. In general, all clauses in a contract offered by a company to any consumer, in this case a community, have to be fair to both sides. They must not set an imbalance in favour of one side over the other. If so, the court is entitled to dismiss these clauses or annul the entire contract, as giving an unjustifiable privilege or benefit to the company which is beyond the reasonable profit every company should be able to derive from its commercial activity. With these considerations in mind, communities are not necessarily locked into a contract with no way out. However, we the solicitors for Intercala administration advise readers of our monthly articles to seek competent advice before entering their community into any contract and in all matters regarding the law.

Is wood the new brick? PEOPLE in Spain are reluctant to discover the advantages of wood TRADITIONALLY a country of bricks and cement-lovers, Spain is slowly starting to catch on to the advantages of wooden houses. Although the Spanish Association of Wooden House Makers and Builders has no official register, it has estimated that there are currently around 22,000 wooden homes in Spain, which are proving to be more energy efficient that their traditional counterparts. The largest in Spain at 650 square

22,000 the number of wooden homes currently in Spain

metres has electricity bills of just €140 per month, which includes heating and hot water. Found in Torrelodones, Madrid, the massive home cost just €800 per square metre to build. In a similar way, a 180 square metre wooden home in El Escorial, Madrid, is expected to save its elderly owners Pepe and Carmen about €7,000 a year in heating and hot water costs, 100x100madera specialist wooden home company reported. “They sold their old house, which cost them almost €1,000 per month to heat, and built a wooden one for €194,000,” a company spokesman explained. Although they are made to measure and pieces numbered for easy assembly, the wooden homes are put together on site, the company explained.

WOODEN HOMES: Can be built much quicker than a traditional house. Another house built by the company in Guadalix de la Sierra has become the first in Madrid Region to receive the German Passivhaus certificate. After it was completed in autumn last year its energy consumption has been constantly monitored and bills for heating and hot water have averaged

just €18.5 per month. Meanwhile in Barcelona’s De Gracia district a young couple are currently having a five storey, 346 square metre home built, which will become Barcelona’s tallest wooden structure, and they expect to spend €62 per month on heating, air conditioning and

water heating. These homes are cheaper to heat thanks to the resistant, insulating qualities of their wooden structures, which are combined with insulating materials including cellulose, wood fibre or recycled cotton, treble-glazing and renewable energies to bring up to 90 per

cent energy savings. Wooden homes, studies have found, need between eight and 13 times less energy than their traditional concrete equivalents. Yet Spain remains prejudiced against wood. “People think wooden houses are not resistant and don’t last long, yet with good prime materials such as red pine from Finland they are higher quality than traditional buildings,” said 100x100madera, which has built more than 200 homes in Spain and has another 44 currently in the pipeline. “In Finland we’ve seen 310-year-old houses made of wooden trunks and our Finnish makers Kuusamo tell us the average lifespan for the materials we use is 150 years,” the company explained. Lower electricity bills, however, are not the sole advantage to wooden houses, House Habitat has reported. A 150 metre house takes about four months to build, whereas a traditional equivalent would take between 12 and 18 months, and the cost works out at about €1,100 per metre, much cheaper than a passive, but traditional home. “Homes with wooden structures cost between 10 and 15 per cent less to build. Including the 10 per cent tax, a 120 metre freestanding family home would cost between €130,000 and €190,000,” said Emilio Lauro from Canadian Nordic House Catalunya, which has been building Canadian style homes in Cataluña since 1978. The houses have to meet the same legal and safety requirements as traditional ones, Lauro explained.

More are holidaying in luxury homes SPAIN’S luxury home rental market has shown a significant increase this summer than in the last few years. Luxury rentals, which bring in between €3,000 and €8,000 per week, have been increasing since 2014 and tourists are mostly choosing between the Balearics, and the Costa Brava for their luxury holiday, according to the estate agency, Coldwell Banker España. Holidaymakers in this market are usually foreign, coming from countries like Germany or the UK, with French, Italian and Scandinavian tourists also enjoying more sumptuous surroundings. In the Balearics, idealista.com say Mallorca is particularly popular for luxury holidays with visitors choosing destinations like Pollensa, Alcudia, Soller, Puerto Andratx, Cala d’Or or Arta.

PORT D’ANDRATX: Popular for luxury holidays with visitors.

While in Ibiza, San Jose, Cala Yundal, Talamaca, Cap Martinet or Roca Llisa are the top resorts with reservations up to 80 per cent occupation in July 2015, 10 per cent more than the same time last year and 85 per cent in August. There is a similar story on the Costa Brava, with reservations showing 80 per cent occupancy in July, being 30 per cent higher than in 2014, and a staggering 100 per cent occupancy rate in August 2015. Mallorca is the favourite luxury destination for Germans, British or Scandinavians while French, the Italians and the English prefer Ibiza. The Costa Brava is number one with Northern Europeans in general while the Girona coast has seen a drop in the number of Russian tourists visiting the shores.

Golf attracts purchasers THE British in particular have helped to give the Costa del Sol its second name, Costa del Golf, because so many golf courses have been built in Spain over the past few years. As more courses are built, so the savvy investor as well as the sensible developer has seen a considerable increase in the number of ‘front line’ houses and apartments that have been built. They are ideal for year-round inhabitation, holiday homes and even short-term golfing lets. It is estimated by Taylor Wimpey that 160,000 British people own homes near golf courses and they have two new enclaves being built in the La Cala area at Miraval and Horizon Golf. The ever-growing town of Benahavis numbers five courses within its surrounds and there are new and established courses along most of the coast, all with plenty of new and resale accommodation. The only place where one can be certain that there will not be a new golf course in the immedia t e f u t u r e i s G i b r a l t a r, a l t h o u g h w i t h t h e number of new buildings there and the amount of reclaimed land, perhaps one may appear eventually. As more and more high profile footballers take up the sport of golf as a hobby and even Spanish politicians are photographed playing it, there is little doubt that other nationalities will also be looking to enjoy golf in Spain, thus fuelling the demand for on-course property.

Score 100 for a low energy cost home with an Energy Efficiency Certificate John Graham The property expert

AS a qualified surveyor and professional property advisor I represent homeowners and investors in selling their properties. I find many owners do not fully understand the importance of the Energy Efficiency Certificate and how it could make their property more attractive for sale by having a home that is more energy efficient. So this week I would like to give you a very brief overview on the important points of the Energy Certificate in the hope it will help you understand the energy rating system better and help you to improve your energy efficiency. The first thing to know is that the Energy Certificate contains information about how energy is used in your

EFFICIENT?: Rate your home. home or your business premises, this includes details of how much energy is used and the costs. An Energy Certificate is a legal requirement in Spain when a new property is constructed, when a property is sold or rented out. If you own a commercial building

you will also have to provide an Energy Certificate when you sell or let your premises. Once you have an Energy Certificate, it is valid for 10 years and the fee charged by our official assessor for the certificate will depend on the size and location of your home, for more details contact me. You can apply for an Energy Certificate simply because you want to know how energy efficient your property is, and make your home very energy efficient by carrying out the improvements suggested in the report. The Energy Certificate will rate your properties performance as follows. 1. Energy use per m2 of floor area 2. Energy efficiency based on fuel costs 3. Environmental impact based on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This information provides an energy efficiency rating and an environ-

mental impact (CO2) rating of your property and there are seven bands for both of these ratings, from A to G. The energy efficiency rating is colour-coded from green to red, with the green end of the scale indicating the home is very energy efficient, with lower running costs, the red end of the scale indicating it is not energy efficient and higher running costs. The numerical rating runs from one to 100. The bigger the number the more energy efficient your home is and the lower the fuel bills will be. Again, there is a numerical rating, from one to 100, and the bigger the number, the less impact the house has on the environment. I hope you now understand the Energy Certificate better and if you would like to have an Energy Efficiency Certificate or know more about how to improve your homes energy efficiency, please contact me.

Try taking a walk on the wild side, Globelink will keep you covered David Deverson GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL Insurance correspondent david@globelink.co.uk

IT’S a strange thing, but if the boom in walking holidays is anything to go by, the less we have to walk, the more we seem to want to. No other type of holiday lets you experience your surroundings quite so intimately, while boosting your mental and physical fitness. At Globelink Travel Insurance, we cover all sorts of itchy feet. Planning a leisurely ramble around the vineyards of Alsace? No problem we have policies for people aged up to 84. Out to conquer Kilimanjaro? We’re with you all the way. Unlike many insurers, our specialist trekking policies cover you up to an altitude of 6,000 metres. That includes helicopter rescue should you be unlucky enough to have a medical emergency - along with the other essential cover you need if and when ‘stuff’ happens. More of us are living longer, fuller, fitter lives, hence the demand for challenging treks in Nepal or Machu Picchu. Hiking a stretch of the

WALKING HOLIDAYS: Demand is increasing for challenging treks. Great Wall of China is also increasingly popular. For an equally stretching stroll, how about Jordan? The week-long trek takes you from the Dead Sea to the pink city of Petra (ideal for finding your inner Indiana Jones.) Unsurprisingly, with some of the best hiking on our doorstep, many of our clients are choos-

ing Europe. Madeira’s volcanic scenery and rushing levadas make it a walker’s paradise and not all of the day trails are ‘a piece of cake’, either! For many, France has it all. Iconic trails, like Corsica’s gruelling GR20 or the Tour du Mont Blanc, put even the best to the test, and are well-served by all-inclusive packages.

On the other hand, when it comes to softer hiking, tailoring your own walk couldn’t be easier. Just map out your route from a 180,000km network of well-signed footpaths, and munch your way around the Loire valley or the beaches of Brittany. If that’s too déjà vu for you, Slovenia is a good bet, offering sparkling alpine and lake scenery in Triglav National Park. Croatia offers stunning hill walking, with the Adriatic as a backdrop and a stay in Dubrovnik a highlight on most tours. And look out for Albania; it’s already emerging as an outstanding destination for discerning hikers. Wherever you’re headed, go safely with the three essentials - a first aid kit, the right equipment and a decent travel insurance policy. Enjoy your trip! Globelink Travel Insurance: for people living in Spain and all other EU countries. For an instant quote and to arrange cover securely online, enabling you to print your policy documents immediately, by visiting www.globelink.co.uk – the leading travel insurer for people living in EU Countries.

Award-winning foreign exchange CAMBRIDGE global payments have opened two offices in Spain with more to come to provide a real alternative for clients who have a requirement of moving money from one currency to another; regardless of the amount required, Cambridge offer something for everyone. Established for more than 20 years, transferring in excess of $30 billion per year, with over 20 offices and 400 staff, Cambridge are the world’s largest, privately owned foreign exchange company and winner for the last seven years of the prestigious Deutsche bank STP awards (straight through processing). They provide a fast, secure and highly competitive service. The rates of exchange are first class and ensure that they offer you better value for your money than banks and other financial institutions. They provide a service that really benefits and makes life easier for their clients. Some of the services include: • Same day transfers • No fees • Superb rates of exchange • Regular payments • Home visits • Out of hours and weekend contacts • Fix exchange rates for up to 12 months

• Avoid or drastically reduce all Spanish bank fees. Kelly Eason, who has launched their Costa del Sol office, stated: “Cambridge are not here to be just another foreign exchange company, we are here to provide a real alternative, and to be the biggest, most competitive foreign exchange provider in Spain; our key focus is on two things, customer service and excellent rates of exchange. We are determined to really raise the bar on the service that clients receive, and to offer our best rates from the

rate of exchange from the start and then keep it that way.’’ If you want to find out just what we can offer, take us up on our best rate challenge and see if we can’t beat what you are currently receiving. To do this all you will need to do is call in and tell us the following: • What your current currency provider has quoted you. • On what amount of money did you request a quote for. • And an approximate time that you received the quote. (We need to know this as rates change every three-five seconds, so if it has been a few hours, then it may have changed, so we will compare to the price at that time.) You do not need to be registered to do this, neither do you need to register afterwards, it is simply a free, no obligation quote and comparison. To contact Cambridge Global Payments, simply call the office on 0034 952 830 176, email: costadelsol@ cambridgefx.co.uk or come and visit us at our office in Centro Comercial Andasol, KM189, N340, El Rosario near Marbella

outset and maintain that level. We are not interested in offering introductory rates, neither do we intend to offer special rates for certain clients, we WILL GIVE ALL of our clients the BEST

Our office is open from 09:30–18:00. If you wish to contact us outside of these hours or on the weekend, then please contact the manager directly on 0034 634 254811 or email Kelly Eason on keason@cambridgefx.co.uk

It wasn’t unusual to find Tom’s wife all alone in a hotel room Re: Tom Jones FOLLOWING Leapy’s comments in EWN, I just have to write to confirm every word he says about Tom’s behaviour away from the public eye. Before my retirement I worked as a legal secretary in London and became very good friends with a girl who worked part-time for my firm, but also worked part-time at a hotel in Mayfair - 47 Park Street. The same hotel where Tom Jones and his entourage, and wife Linda, would stay in a suite of rooms when he was performing in London. My friend would tell me that Linda would just be left there, alone, bored and with nothing to do whilst Tom carried on doing whatever he wanted. Linda was also a little agoraphobic and seemed shy and frightened to go out. My friend felt so sorry for Linda and became very good friends with her over time and to cheer her up would go up to her room, tell her to dress up, and then my friend would pretend to take Linda out. She would take her arm and walk her along the corridors pointing out things like paintings as if they were going to an art gallery, or going out to tea (but would have it sent to her rooms), but all the time pretending they were out and about on the town. Apparently Linda loved this and it really brought her out of herself. I doubt if Tom ever knew about their ‘outings’ or even cared! So you see there are others out there who believe you, and others who should check their facts before they put pen to paper. It is good to have people in this world like you who have the courage to actually say what many of us think, myself for one. Keep writing your great articles and as always... keep the faith! Pam, Duquesa and Kent, UK (Via email) PS: Please send me details on how to obtain a copy of your autobiography which has got to be a real must read! Thanks in advance.

Saying sorry! Re: Jeremy Corbyn OH, MR LEE, an apology is most needed. Happy to oblige. I apologise

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

Plans in place to fight caterpillar invasion? FOLLOWING last week’s article in the Costa del Sol edition regarding Mijas Council’s plans for a fumigation scheme, do you know if Malaga Council has a similar system? I have found one or two in my house. Should I be worried? I don’t have any animals. If I find the odd one, what is the best way to dispose of it please? Barbara (Via website) Editor’s Note: Further advice on how to deal with infestations in the Malaga area may be sought from: www.malagaturismo.com/en or: www.malaga.eu

sincerely for misinterpreting your comparison of Mr Corbyn to Charles Manson. So you are actually comparing his AUDIENCES to those of past cult leaders, including Charles Manson Those AUDIENCES being the ordinary people of Great Britain who are sick and tired of a government which makes sure that the wealthy thrive more than anyone else, and want a compassionate leader who genuinely wants to help the needy in GB. I am not a great supporter of him but I believe him to be sincere. Cut the comrade bit, communism is no more. Once again you should be

ashamed of yourself to come out with statements like that. Please, please change the name by the way, it’s so childish. Philip, San Fulgencio

preferred you to him. As TJ gets older the less acceptable and seedy he becomes. My heart goes out to his wife Linda. May my god be with you. Tom, (Via website)

Not a fan

Not welcome

Re: Tom Jones I AM presently reading Engelbert Humperdinck’s autobiography ‘What’s in a Name?’. He speaks fondly of Gordon Mills and his wife Jo. I have to wonder did he help Jo out or attend her funeral. As for TJ, never been a fan. I even

Re: Migrants on British sovereign soil I MUST confess to being really confused. When I ‘retired’ in 1997, my wife and I decided to have a look at the wider world and drive right across Europe, to end up in Cyprus.

While there, we took the opportunity to look up a friend who was serving at RAF Akrotiri. We tried to visit him there, but were denied entry to the base ‘for security reasons’ despite our having UK passports and my establishing that I was ex-RAF. So we had to meet up with our friend at a (Greek) bar down the road at Zakaki. Then, when we drove back to the UK, on arrival at the Greek border at Ipsala, we were told by the very aggressive officials that, notwithstanding our UK (thus EU) passports, we would not be admitted into Greece because our passports revealed that we had journeyed via the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. We were seen off, literally at gunpoint, and had to re-route via Bulgaria into Yugoslavia. Happily in both countries we were made more than welcome. So I now wonder how it is that hordes of people - mostly without passports or provenance of any sort can so easily be welcomed into Greece, and now Cyprus - the ‘UK’ part of it in particular? Should we perhaps have rounded up a few hundred down-and-outs to accompany us, in order to secure admission, in both cases? John, Alicante (Via website)

No provision Re: Tom Jones LEAPY, couldn’t agree with you more re Tom Jones not looking after Jo. I was Tom’s pianist in The Squires along with Vernon whom you know. However, Gordon Mills was rich so not quite sure why he didn’t look after her. Vic Cooper (Via website)

YOUR STARS SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better. Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better. In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is perhaps something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) There is so much that has come to light in the past few weeks, it is no wonder that your mind is reeling. All will become clear in the weeks ahead and this cannot be rushed. However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued.

SCORPIO

(October 24 - November 22)

Having put in extra effort to bring a zing into your life, it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although last week was not run at the pace anticipated, now the pace certainly picks up. Finances are still firmly on the agenda, but this time you will be able to deal on a more relaxed basis. A contact made recently gives you the opportunity not only to make some money but also to enlarge your circle of friends. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high. There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk who you are willing to mix with. Cultural differences apart, it is quite an eye-opener to find out how others live and think. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being considerably more relaxed about

those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found. Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on the back for that recent achievement? Socially, this is a lovely week when old friendships are strengthened and new acquaintances prove to be relaxing. It is another mellow week but one in which you seriously consider making a major change. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action. Simply being in the right place and under someone’s gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people. Some of those people prove to be quite fascinating.

MODERN day Halloween celebrations, which are gradually catching on all over the world, find their origins in many different ancient festivals, traditions and customs, most of which remain unknown to the youngsters likely to be knocking on our doors this weekend in search of goodies. 1. Halloween as we know it borrows traditions from four different festivals, the Roman Feralia festival which commemorated the dead, the Roman Pomona festival to honour the goddess of fruit and trees, the Celtic Samhain to mark the final harvest of the year and the Catholic Hallowmas period of All Souls’ Day and All Saints’ Day, instigated in the year 800 by the church to try and replace Samhain. 2. The word Halloween originally came from the Middle English Alholowmesse, meaning All Saints’ Day. The night before Alholowmesse was called All Hallows Even, which was eventually shortened to Hallowe’en and eventually became Halloween in the 20th century. 3. The custom of wearing costumes or masks comes from a Celtic tradition for young men to impersonate evil spirits by dressing up in white costumes and wearing masks or blackening their faces to placate these spirits. 4. Trick or treating comes from the Middle-Age practice of the poor dressing up in costumes and going from door to door to beg

While today trick or treat means give us a treat or we’ll pull a prank, originally it meant the person asking for a treat would perform a trick for the amusement of the giver which often included reciting rhymes or singing songs. Eventually this turned into solicitors vandalising homes or pulling other pranks if a treat was not given. 6. Pumpkin carving as a Halloween tradition came from a method used by the Celts to ward off evil spirits during Samhain. They would hollow out turnips, carve faces in them and put candles inside which they then placed in windows to keep evil spirits away or carried as lanterns. 7. Although many Christians are disturbed by Halloween and consider it wrong to take part, seeing it as a celebration of evil, this stems from ignorance of the history of Halloween. When it was first celebrated, Christians

believed very literally in the devil and thought one of the best ways to fight him was to attack his greatest weakness: pride. Therefore they would depict and mock him, hoping it would cause him to flee. 8. Magician and escapologist Harry Houdini died on Halloween in 1926, and Mussolini became Prime Minister of Italy on Halloween in 1922. 9. Orange represents the autumn harvest, while black represents the darkness associated with the death of summer. Yet many relate the two colours together with Halloween without knowing what they symbolise. 10. Elderly women accused of witchcraft were usually poor and couldn’t afford horses so had to use a walking stick, often replaced with a broom, to help them travel. That is how the broomstick became associated with witches, rather than any evidence of them actually flying on them.

GIBRALTAR made a bid to host the 2019 Island Games back in September after Menorca withdrew. It was approved by the International Island Games Association and the contract awarded to The Rock. Twelve sports will be featured: athletics, badminton, basketball, Judo, sailing, shooting, squash, swimming, table tennis, tennis, tenpin bowling and triathlon.

HOUSING Minister, the Hon Samantha Sacramento, has announced that the construction of affordable homes in Seashell House is now complete. Purchasers can expect a letter within the next few days with further information. She said the snagging process at Sand Dune House was well under way and works to communal areas were progressing extremely quickly.

Brussels declares war on the EU

TOUGHER visa regimes will prevent millions from visiting EU nations Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel, who by the way, heads an unconstitutional regime, encourages hundreds of thousands of faux refugees to Germany and the European Union. At the same time she backs sanctions against Russia. The burden to the 28 EU nations of this decrepit copy of the USSR is said to be €100 billion each year. The EU has rebuilt the Berlin Wall. Brussels have now brought in a tougher visa regime that makes it impractical for millions of Russians to visit the EU. New Schengen rules now require biometric data, fingerprints and digital photographs. A visa application involves a personal visit to the embassy of the destination country. The geographical size of Russia excludes millions wishing to visit Europe from doing so. In my opinion, the EU economic

ANGELA MERKEL: Head of an unconstitutional regime. war is conducted by an invisible and accountable cabal. Its purpose is to apply pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. It fails to do so but such is their hubris the clique never listens.

Russian tourism abroad has falle n by 40 pe r c e nt. R e me mbe r when UK Prime Minister David Cameron urged Britons to holiday at home; keep their money in England. Well, idiot, Russians have

taken your advice. Expect ‘wish you were here’ postcards from Russia’s Costa Crimea. There, tourism has increased by 32 per cent and guess where the profits are going? They are going to Russia. The Americans have a saying; ‘you can’t fix stupid.’ Well, they coined the expression and the EU appears to be Washington’s dupe. Each time the EU sanctions Russia, the Russians despise us more. Worse, Russian trade worth hundreds of billions is redirected to the EU’s rivals. Simultaneously, EU nations are burdened by a refugee crisis. As far as I’m concerned, desire for ethic protection swings Europe towards xenophobic nationalism. As a direct consequence of treacherous EU leadership, future generations of Western Europeans, long after Merkel and her henchmen are departed, will carry the burden of their treachery. “Those whom the gods would destroy, the gods first make mad.” There is uncertainty as to who coined this expression. May the unfortunate citizens of the EU now claim it their own?

We have won something! BRITAIN surprisingly rated as the best place to die Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

A GLOBAL survey by The Economist, recently placed Great Britain as the best place to die, beating the Ozzies into second place and New Zealand into third. Germany was seventh. Yeah, that’ll teach ‘em. The reasons according to Ros Taylor of Hospice UK are simple: Good knowledge of pain control and conversations about things that really matter. Huh? Pain control I can understand, but the only conversation that would matter to me, would be to learn that I was going to live a lot longer. But I know what she means. I just find it hard to believe that we have actually come top of this poll although I suspect that The Economist researchers have simply

Charity awareness ribbons.

Readers raise funds for charities WORKING in a busy newspaper office, not only do we see breaking news from around the world, much of it quite depressing, we also see local news coming in from the six areas we publish for. What is very heartwarming is to see the number of people, many of them British although by no means all, who devote so much time to raising funds for charity. There are charity shops, fundraising dinners, music events, bake offs, balloon launches, walks and even sponsored sky dives. The range of causes is as diverse as the way in which money is raised, and apart from the animal support our expatriates are often associated with, every type of charity is represented especially, but not exclusively, those connected with ill health. In the week this article is being written, we have seen fundraising events for the fight against Butterfly skin, cancer, injured ex-servicemen as well as leukaemia and homeless families, with Remembrance Day and poppy appeals still to come. Considering world economy has been difficult since 2007, it is most heartwarming to see so many people care enough about those worse off than themselves that they spend so much time and money on supporting an incredibly wide range of charities. We at Euro Weekly News try to do our bit by sponsoring some of the events and devoting as much space as we can to charity fundraisers.

have the reality of people dying alone and in squalor. And the unforgivable situation in hospitals where people die through lack of care, a shortage of compassionate staff, or simply left alone in corridors. No comforting words, no proper palliative care and no dignity. It’s a disgrace and if we had been told 30 or 40 years ago that these sorts of instances were to happen on a daily basis in British hospitals in the 21st century, we simply would not have believed it. And if even one such case had been reported back then, it would have elicited a massive public outcry prompting immediate action. The fact is we have become almost immune to such reports in our newspapers which often only involve a column or two on an inside page.

The ‘taboo’ subject that even most women don’t like to talk about IT all happens so quickly! Maybe you are coughing, laughing, sneezing or just enjoying playing sports and suddenly you pass a few drops of urine. Even years after childbirth this can be a problem. It is estimated that about 35 per cent of the female population between the ages of 25 and 75 suffer from bladder incontinence. Undoubtedly the percentage is so high because we just don’t talk about it, it is considered a somewhat ‘taboo’ subject, so the issue is not openly addressed. What causes bladder incontinence in women? There are several influential factors, including genetic factors, hormonal and age related changes, as well as straining of the vagina and pelvic floor muscles during childbirth.

INFLUENTIAL FACTORS: Genetics, age and hormones among others.

The onset of the menopause changes the vaginal mucous membrane, causing increased dryness which may lead to itching, burning and pain during sexual intercourse.

The loss of muscle tone in the vaginal wall and the entire pelvic floor increases as the years go by, leading to the spontaneous passage of urine. What can we do? For mild and initial symptoms the use of pelvic floor exercises, vaginal hormone therapy, biofeedback training and stimulation with magnetic waves are often recommended to alleviate discomfort. For more pronounced symptoms effective results could only be achieved through invasive surgical treatments. There are many postoperative complications associated with these procedures and a high degree of dissatisfaction with the results. IncontiLase-IntimaLase is a non-surgical ER:Yag laser therapy. The laser has a non-ablative photothermal heating effect on colla-

gen in the vaginal walls, causing restructuring and stimulation of new collagen synthesis. This causes a tightening of the vaginal canal and subsequently greater sexual satisfaction or gives greater support to the bladder and return of normal continence function. The procedures are incisionless and virtually painless, with no ablation, cutting, bleeding or sutures. Two or three sessions are recommended. After the treatment the patient can immediately return to normal everyday activities.

Sports injuries – how to get back on track MOST athletes will get injured at some point in their career. Even with the best training, the most cutting edge supports and orthotics, injuries happen to premier league footballers, to keen gym goers and to water sports enthusiasts. And the number one question when an injury happens? Do I have to stop my sport? We all know the classic advice for an injury, rest and ice and this is always the best thing

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com to do immediately after an injury but what next? The priority for most sports people is getting back to their sport. So that has to be the priority for their therapists.

Treatment options • Physiotherapy to increase mobility • Training programme review to ensure you don’t repeat the injury or else to reduce load on the injured area • Lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and inflammation • Kinesiotape to support correct movement and reduce inflammation • Magnetic Resonance Ther-

apy to reduce bone swelling, increase blood supply to tendons and ligaments and therefore speed up healing time. A short, intensive treatment course, often as little two or three days (obviously this depends on how bad/recent the injury is) and then my sports fans are back where they want to be. Get treatment FAST The most important point to remember if you do hurt yourself is to get treatment FAST. The first 48 hours are critical, the sooner you get treated the quicker (and, let’s face it, cheaper!) it will be. But don’t take it from me – here are Peter’s thoughts on using MRT for recent sports injuries. The year 2013/4 was not a good year for me. Last summer I had a bad accident kitesurfing and tore my short head of biceps completely from my shoulder leaving me with a ‘monocep’. After treatment on the MRT machine and a bit of rehab I have full use of the arm again but with less pain than I had before the accident.

Da Bruno Group bring us their new vision

FUTURE SITE: Of Da Bruno in Cabopino.

THE biggest restaurant and event centre on the Costa del Sol By Steve Walsh THE DA BRUNO restaurant group has announced that it is to enhance their vision of bringing quality Italian cuisine to the coast by opening what will be the biggest restaurant and event centre on the Costa del Sol. Just when we thought that the Da Bruno experience could not get any better, we can now look forward to being taken to new heights in high quality Italian cuisine with the emphasis on exquisite customer service. The announcement was made at a presentation in which Da Bruno chain owners Bruno and Giuseppina Filippone, met with Marbella Mayor Jose Bernal, and provincial delegate Miguel Angel Heredia, as well as Agencia Idea provincial manager Jose Aguilar.

One of the most important functions will be in training staff. ‘Da Bruno Italy,’ as the new project will be named, will be located in the picturesque Cabopino area, where a 2,800 metre plot has already been acquired for the building of their new and largest venture to date. Bruno Filippone explained: The investment over three years will reach €5 million, and will be supported by public grants from the Agencia Idea. Mayor Jose Bernal was delighted with the announcement and said, “An extraordinary project which will directly benefit the city, and also give Marbella and the Costa del Sol DA BRUNO: Will continue offering the same, if not better, quality.

another feature to promote.” He also mentioned that he was “very grateful” to the Da Bruno chain. The new restaurant, which will be the sixth the group has on the Costa del Sol, is initially expected to create around 50 jobs. While speaking on this subject, provincial delegate Miguel Angel Heredia said: “It’s very important for there to be projects of this type for tourism, gastronomy and employment.” “One of the most important functions to be taken into consideration with the new project,” Bruno Filippone said, “will be directed at training staff, and an exclusive classroom facility will be created for training with a prime directive to

continuously improve the quality and service provided by the Da Bruno chain.” The project has been conceived with the goal of becoming the major reference centre for events in the province, therefore a large event hall with a spectacular pyramid shaped stage is planned. The centre will host all sorts of shows and celebrations from corporate events and company meals or parties, to weddings, christenings and first communion festivities. Although becoming bigger and better as the years move on, the group will continue offering the same if not better - quality with Da Bruno’s seal of identity and Italian character.

DA BRUNO ITALY: The new restaurant will be the sixth the group has on the Costa del Sol. Therefore, the ample new space in Cabopino will have a first class restaurant, various beautiful terraces, gardens and a large car park to meet all of its customers’ needs.

Composer invited to UN 70th anniversary DARIO is well known for his compositions By Declan Scanlan COMPOSER and friend of the Euro Weekly Dario Poli was honoured to be invited to The Hague over the weekend to attend the International Gala celebrating the 70 years anniversary of the founding of the UN. Dario was earlier invited to write a new music composition for The Peace and Justice Foundation, a newly established venture at The Hague. The new composition will be presented at an exclusive gala event in September 2016 and Dario took time out from writing and his other projects to attend The Peace Palace building at The Hague. Upon his arrival he was driven from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam to meet Florence Olara of the Hague Justice Portal who had issued the formal invitation to the UN event. He was then introduced to a range of officials and personalities and heard several speeches during the memorable evening. The 70th anniversary of the founding of the UN was marked around the world and Dario told us that he will be returning to The Hague again for further meetings as he continues to prepare the composition for the The Peace and Justice Foundation.

Jack-o-lanterns on a whole new level SOMETIMES they were set on windowsills to keep harmful spirits out of one’s home. By Steve Walsh PUMPKIN carving today has grown in popularity to such a point that it could almost be classed as an art form in itself. Some of the beautiful luminescent orange globes that decorate our Halloween doorsteps and tables these days are a far cry from the smiley faces of yesteryear, and have become very popular as a centre piece in most homes, even to the point of causing a Pumpkin shortage in the UK this year. However, the history of the Jack-o-lantern is not as brightly lit as the finished article is. Some say that the custom of making jacko-lanterns at Halloween began in Ireland. In the 19th century, and the name derived from ‘will-o’-the-wisp’ in English folklore. It’s equally unclear as to the original intended purpose of the carved squash, but some of those who made the lanterns said they represented the spirits or supernatural beings, while others said they were used to ward off evil spirits. Sometimes they were used to frighten people, and sometimes they were set on windowsills to keep harmful spirits out of one’s home. The more believable explanation might be that the jack-o’lanterns originally represented Christian souls in purgatory, Halloween being the eve of All Saints’ Day on November 1, and All Souls Day on November 2.

Ten facts you may not know about the humble pumpkin

1. It’s believed the word ‘pumpkin’ was used for the first time in the fairy tale Cinderella. Before that, they were known as ‘Gros melons,’ which in Latin translates to ‘Pepon.’ 2. The original jack-o-lanterns were not made from pumpkins, but from turnips and potatoes apparently by the Irish. 3. Over 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkin are produced each year in the United States. 4. The world’s largest pumpkin was more than 1.5 metres in diameter and weighed over 816 kilos. 5. The largest pumpkin pie ever baked weighed 997 kilos. 6. Each pumpkin has about 500 seeds. 7. In America, Halloween and pumpkins are so popular that annual ‘Punkin Chunkin’ championships are staged, where pumpkins are shot almost 1.5 kilometres from an air cannon. 8. There are over 45 different varieties of pumpkin. 9. Pumpkins are fruits, more specifically, they are a winter squash. 10. Pumpkins are 90 per cent water, and therefore low in calories.

Free plants are all around us! PLANTS, shrubs and small trees can be literally picked up Dick Handscombe

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

LAST week we looked largely at where one can buy plants with an initial glimpse at how plants can be obtained for free. That concept is expanded on in this week’s column. For simplicity of text we include small plants, shrubs and trees in the term ‘plants’. In practice free sources include the following. - Seeds dropped by birds. - Self-seeded from existing plants. - Self-seeded along the roadside or on vacant plots. - Propagation from cuttings. - Splitting of perennials. - Splitting of bulbs, corms and tubers. - Splitting of oversized plants purchased from garden centres. - Collection of seed and sowing. - Overhanging plants from next door or along the pavements. - Swaps with neighbours and friends. We comment on each below. Seeds dropped by birds From the day we took over our piece of mountainside we

adopted and nurtured many plants that have grown up where birds or strong winds had dropped their self-fertilized seeds. Sometimes they were dug up and moved to a more convenient situation but in general they were left where they happened to be as they had often started to put down strong natural root systems. Self-seeded from existing plants Among those plants that regularly self seed are freesias, hollyhocks, marigolds, alyssum, laurel, and lavender. Self-seeded along the roadside Unmade earth pavements, especially with road edging blocks that cause water to be retained after rain, can be a good harvesting area. Look out for saplings growing under overhanging trees. We have two tall acacias that came this way. When 60cm high they were pulled gently out of the pavement. To survive they had put out the same length of roots in only four centimetres of soil. Propagation from cuttings Cuttings can be taken and successfully rooted at almost any time of the year in Spanish gardens. The most productive time is during the winter/early spring cutback.

Splitting of perennials Many perennials such as leonotis, sages, succulents and gazanias can be easily split. Splitting of clumps of bulbs, corms and rhizomes Every few years dig up and split established clumps of daffodils, crocuses, lilies, irises, agapanthus and monbretia. Splitting or taking cuttings from oversized plants purchased from garden centres Sometimes the potted plants purchased from garden centres are too large for convenient planting out in the garden. Collection of seed and sowing Try collecting ripe seed heads or pods of marigolds, poppies, and the Devil’s tongue tree. And in the vegetable plot seeds such as peas, onions, garlic, leeks, pumpkins, peppers and melons are easy to collect and store. Overhanging branches Often the branches of one’s neighbours flowering trees and climbers can be trained to add interesting touches to one’s boundary screens. Swaps with friends and neighbours Rarely do keen gardening visitors leave our garden

CUTTINGS: Can be swapped with friends and neighbours. without a few cuttings and we likewise when we visit them. It is possible to add interesting cacti, succulents, sages, shrubs etc in this way. It is also possible to swap surpluses of plants. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com October 2015

Inexpensive Halloween decorations for your front door TRANSFORM the entrance to your home into a spooky lair for less this Halloween with these low cost and easy to prepare homemade decorations. Your front door is the first port of call for trick or treaters and there are a few quick and easy ways to put the fear of god into visitors this Halloween. To create a ghoulish face on the front door stick some tape on the door to make a mouth. Create two eyes by sticking black paper onto two white paper plates and put them up over the mouth. Then get out your tape

again for some scary eyebrows and your scary entrance is ready. Or make a door mummy with white streamers, two paper plates, and black construction paper. Put strips of streamers across the door and work down and let the eyes look out from behind. Double sided tape is the easiest way to attach the strips. Finally, if your front door is black then you can get into the spirit with a black cat door. Take construction paper and make the eyes, a nose, and don’t forget the whiskers.

Keep your home safe from fire By Declan Scanlan ARE you doing all you can to ensure you home is as safe as it can be? Take a look through these top tips, collected by realsimple.com, and find out. To stay ahead of fire dangers make sure you turn off heaters when you aren’t in the room and always keep them away from anything flammable. If your home has security bars on the windows make sure they are easy to open or have quick release devices. Also, keep a torch near your bed in case you need to see your way through smoke. In the kitchen the simplest things can make the biggest difference. Don’t leave pots and pans unattended on the stove and make sure the handles are turned inward to reduce the likelihood of spillages. Don’t use wet oven mitts, even if you’re in a hurry. Have a lid close to the stove to deal with any cooking fires and never use water. If the oven catches fire switch it off and keep

the door closed. If you have a fireplace you will need to organise an inspection each year to see if a cleaning is needed. For those of you like to keep your home entertainment system up to date remember not to lay electrical cables under rugs or carpet. Not only is it a fire hazard but the unevenness on the floor can cause falls. When you are tackling the laundry remember to clean the dryer’s filter regularly as accumulations of dust and lint can lead to a fire. Make sure not to overload your electrical outlets and don’t leave the dryer on when you leave the house. One good way to remember that you have to replace the batteries in your smoke alarm is to schedule the date on a day you will remember, such as daylight saving time. If your home doesn’t have smoke alarms get them installed right away and put them up high on walls or on ceilings. If you have a fire extinguisher ensure you know what type of fire

keep your back to a door when operating it so you can get out if you need to. Lastly, have a practised

Such bad service! Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WAS in retail for all of my working life and the thing I was most concerned with was customer service. So the moan of the week is the lack of it and what happened? I purchased a new car a couple of years ago and it had a three year guarantee and three year free servicing so when the second service came up I took it to the dealer that it came from and took in my ‘Gold’ service book only to be told that they aren’t agents for that make anymore and, in fact, Chevrolet don’t sell cars in Spain anymore! “So what shall I do?” I asked. And I got the ‘shrug’. You know the one - the shoulders go up, head sinks in twisty smirk and then he walks away to go answer the phone! Now I’m peed off enough as it is but to top it off he’s now left me because the thing on the desk that makes the noise is more important than the person in front of you. Doesn’t matter where you are – bank or store - you might have been in line for 30 minutes, you get to the counter and the person who is serving you just stops and talks to the person on the phone! The person who has just got instant bloody service after I’ve been waiting

for 30 minutes!! Well me being the patient understanding person that I am said, “Oi I haven’t finished talking to you”. He puts his hand over the phone and says “Phone GM in Madrid they will have to sort it out”. And that was it! Not the slightest bit interested. And what about this for customer service? The ever suffering Mrs S and our daughter Dr S went to Hong Kong for a wedding. She goes online to check something about the flight and right across the top in red it says Madrid to London leg has been cancelled and therefore the London to Hong Kong leg has been cancelled too. She phones BA immediately and they just say sorry. Sorry? Is that all? If she hadn’t had a look online they would have got to the airport only to find their whole holiday had been messed up. I have been in touch with BA. Are they interested? Not one iota. They just keep sending the same BS emails saying absolute corporation nonsense and absolutely no explanation as to why she wasn’t notified or what would have happened if she hadn’t checked. Customer service departments need to learn one lesson. Get off your backsides and step out from behind your desk. Look at the problem from the customer’s point of view and pretend it’s you with the problem. And ask yourself would you be happy with an answer that is about as useful as a chocolate teapot!

Muzzles don’t mean a dog is dangerous CAN be used as a preventative measure

MANY people have different opinions on muzzles. Of course anyone that sees a dog with a muzzle automatically assumes the dog is dangerous. There are many types and when choosing one make sure that the dog is able to breathe. The muzzle that I recommend is the Baskerville which is marketed by the eminent Roger Mugford. This is a basket design and allows near unrestricted mouth opening for panting and drinking. These are available at most good pet shops and many vets stock them too. They come in 12 sizes to ensure that a good fit is available for most breeds of dogs. Available through The Company of Animals, PO Box 23 Chersey, Surrey KT16 OPU UK. I encourage all owners to train their dogs to wear a muzzle, the earlier in the dog’s life the better. Most young dogs are destructive; a muzzle will protect your home from being eaten. It will ensure that your

Not just humans, pets can suffer the blues too

ENCOURAGEMENT: The earlier a dog wears a muzzle the better. dog is unable to eat any rubbish or poison on the ground and that alone is worth training for. Wearing a muzzle is another way of preventing them from licking wounds. In

the event of an emergency, if you do not have a muzzle then you can always tie the leash around the dog’s mouth to prevent it from biting.

AUTUMN is one of the times of year cases of the blues tend to be more common and experts have revealed this is also the case for pets. The return to routine after holidays is the most common cause for humans to be down in the dumps, and this also upsets household pets along with worsening weather, animal rights and environmental writer Carolina Pineda reported. Miguel Ibañez, a veterinary professor at Madrid’s Com-

plutense University, explained that animals are just as prone to depression as a result of anxiety and emotional conflicts as humans are. Pets suddenly cooped up indoors and left alone for hours after a long summer break and plenty of fresh air can get upset over the lack of company and space. “The same could happen to a human stuck in a flat with little chance of socialising or leaving the house,” Ibañez said.

New dog photo gadget invented WILL reduce pet distractions TAKING photos of our fourlegged friends is never easy as they can get distracted by

anything and everything around them. This has led a San Francisco inventor, Jason Hernandez, to come up with a system to ensure perfect pet snaps. Jason owns a company called Clever Dog Products which creates gadgets for pets and has created Pooch Selfie, which incorporates a ball that can be attached to a mobile phone to catch the dog’s attention and get them smiling for the camera.

PET SNAPS: New gadget makes taking pet selfies easier.

ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) 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.

National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB has sold the rights to the Saab 9-3 saloon to the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey so that they can produce it in their country.

New and cheaper way to own a piece of Ferrari CHRYSLER put 10 per cent of the company up for sale By John Smith APART from purchasing the Ferraris owned by former King Juan Carlos, there is a somewhat cheaper way to own a piece of Ferrari as majority owner Fiat Chrysler put 10 per cent of the company up for sale through the US stock market on October 21. Enzo Ferrari started his company to produce racing cars in 1929 and it wasn’t until 1947 that Ferrari produced its first road car, the 125S. The iconic prancing horse symbol of the firm was originally used by Italian World War 1 pilot, Francesco Baracca, who had it painted on the fuselage of his aircraft. In 1969, Ferrari sold a 50 per cent stake in the company to the

Ferrari 458 Spider. Fiat group, which was increased to 90 per cent in 1988. The shares were launched at $52 (€46) each raising $893 million (€790 million) for Fiat and finished 15 per cent up on the day. Fiat continues to own 80 per cent of the Ferrari business whilst the Ferrari family own just 10 per cent.

The company currently only produces 7,000 cars each year, as this classifies it as a specialist maker in the USA so does not have to meet some of the stringent requirements that mass market manufacturers have to comply with. It has however indicated that it will increase pro-

duction to 9,000 cars. The company is unlikely to make investors enormous profits if it is to remain a manufacturer of exclusive and sought after cars, but with the worldwide popularity of the brand, shareholders are likely to be enthusiasts in for the long term.

Electric DeLorean TO coincide with the ‘Back to the Future’ special date of October 21, 2015, staff and students at Queen’s University Belfast revealed their own high tech electric DeLorean. Dr David Laverty was in charge of the project and quoting Doc Brown from the film said: “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.” He went on to say: “We are very proud of our students.”

Take a bow Lewis Hamilton three-time World Champion ONLY the second Brit ever to achieve this feat, Jackie Stewart being the first in the 1970s Tony Matthews International Sports A former player and now the world’s most prolific author of football books with almost 150 published since 1975, Tony is also the sports correspondent for Spectrum Radio and lives on La Pilica in the Sierra Cabrera Mountains overlooking Turre. Costa de Almeria

LEWIS HAMILTON, with some great driving skills, won last Sunday’s terrific and watchable US Grand Prix in Texas to become a three-time F1 World Champion. Only the second Brit ever to achieve this feat, Jackie Stewart being the first in the 1970s, Lewis is also the first to win back to back titles after this, his 10th victory of 2015. Top man, top driver. Miserable Nico Rosberg was second with Sebastian Vettel

third. The next race is in Mexico on Sunday. SOCCER ROUND-UP Last weekend, the United-City showdown at Old Trafford ended all square at 0-0… Sunderland made it six Tyne-Wear derby wins on the trot by beating 10-man Newcastle 3-0… Spurs, with a Harry Kane hattrick, hammered Bournemouth 5-1… West Ham edged past Chelsea 2-1, thus inflicting more misery on José Mourinho who was sent off along with his coach and midfielder Nemanja Matic… Arsenal topped the PL for the first time in 20 months (albeit briefly) with a 2-1 win over Everton who had Gareth Barry red-carded… The Ayew brothers, Andre (Swansea) and Jordan, scored against each other in the Welsh club’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa who then

sacked manager Tim Sherwood… WBA registered their fourth 1-0 victory and kept their sixth clean sheet of the season with victory at Norwich… Jamie Vardy’s goal earned Leicester the points over Crystal Palace… Watford ruined Mark Hughes’ 100th game in charge of Stoke by winning 2-0 in the Potteries… and Southampton drew 1-1 at Liverpool. At the start of this week, undefeated Brighton headed the Championship from Hull, Derby and Middlesbrough who inflicted upon Wolves their second successive home defeat. Gillingham and Plymouth led FLs 1 and 2. • This week there have been eight fourth round League Cupties: Everton-Norwich, HullLeicester-Sheffield Wednesday-

Arsenal and Stoke-Chelsea on Tuesday and LiverpoolBournemouth, Manchester City-Crystal Palace, Southampton-Villa and Manchester United-Middlesbrough last night. • The Champions League continues next week with Sevilla-Manchester City, Manchester United-CSKA and Real Madrid-PSG on Tuesday followed by Bayern Munich-Arsenal, Barcelona-BATE and Chelsea-Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday. Celtic, Liverpool and Spurs compete in the Europa League next Thursday. • The PL games this weekend are: Chelsea-Liverpool, Crystal Palace-Manchester United, Everton-Sunderland, Manchester City-Norwich, Newcastle-Stoke, Southampton-Bournemouth, SwanseaArsenal, Tottenham-Aston Villa, Watford-West Ham and WBA-Leicester. The top Championship match is Birmingham-Wolves; Walsall play Gillingham in FL1 and it’s Plymouth-Morecambe in FL2 while Celtic meet Aberdeen in the SPL. RUGBY WORLD CUP Tomorrow South Africa meet Argentina in the third/fourth

place play-off game while on Saturday at Twickenham, New Zealand play in their fourth final against Australia. MOTOGP - Valentino Rossi ‘kicked’ Marc Marquez off his machine when finishing third in Malaysia. Dani Pedrosa won the race from Jorge Lorenzo who is seven points behind Rossi in the rider’s championship with one race left, here in Spain on November 8. Handed a three-point penalty, Rossi will start at the back of the grid. CRICKET - Pakistan (378 and 354-6

dec.) beat England (242 and 312) by 178 runs with 6.3 overs remaining. The third and final Test starts in Sharjah on Sunday. GOLF - GB’s Justin Rose won the Hong Kong Open by one stroke from Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard - the eighth tour victory of his career. And Lydia Ko clinched the LPGA Taiwan to become the women’s world number one. AMERICAN FOOTBALL - Last Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Buffalo Bills 34-31 in front of 84,021 fans at Wembley. The Kansas City Chiefs play the Detroit Lions at the same venue this Sunday. EVENTS - The World Artistic Gymnastic Championships are taking place in Glasgow; the WTA Tennis tournament is underway in Singapore and the famous Melbourne Cup horse race will be run in Flemington.

DID YOU KNOW? LEWIS HAMILTON: Great driving skills.

The lowest attendance ever for a single day’s play in a Test Match is just 54 - on day one of the Pakistan-England game in Abu Dhabi earlier this month. The full five-day total was 717, while under 1,000 turned up to watch the last five-day Test in Dubai.

Lester Piggott - Champion Jockey

VALENTINO ROSSI: Finished third in Malaysia.

By Tony Matthews ON November 5, 2015, former champion jockey Lester Piggott will celebrate his 80th birthday. Born in Wantage in 1935 into a family who worked in farming and also ran the Crown Inn pub in Nantwich, Cheshire for at least 40 years from the early 1870s. Lester ’s grandfather Ernie Piggott (1878-1967) owned a racing stable in Letcombe Regis and his father Keith Piggott (1904-1993) ran a similar establishment at South Bank, Lambourn, where he lived till 1954. Ernie Piggott rode three Grand National winners (in 1912, 1918 and 1919) and was related to two other jockeys, Mornington and Kempton Cannon, who were both successful with Derby winners, in 1899 and 1904 respectively. Ernie was also three-time champion jump jockey (in 1910, 1913 and 1915) while Keith Piggott won the Champion Hurdle as a jockey in 1939 and the Grand National

as a trainer in 1963. Lester has two daughters and a son, Jamie. Lester began riding out of his father’s stable when he was 10 years old and won his first race in 1948, on a horse called The Chase at Haydock Park. He went on to win another 4,492 flat races (4,349 in the UK) and 22 over hurdles. He rode in his first Derby in 1951, finishing 13th on Zucchero, and as a teenage sensation in 1954, he claimed his first Derby winner, Never Say Die. Eight more successes in this annual classic followed: Crepello (1957), St. Paddy (1960), Sir Ivor (1968), Nijinsky (1970), Roberto (1972), Empery (1976), The Minstrel (1977) and Teenoso (1983). In fact, Lester completed the unique triple crown on Nijinsky in 1970, adding the 2,000 Guineas and St Leger to his Derby triumph. Stable jockey to Noel

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Celebrating 80th.

Murless and later to Vincent O’Brien, Lester certainly had a glittering career of unparalleled success. He rode for the Queen for the first time in 1955 and became known as the ‘housewives’ favourite’. Surprisingly tall for a jockey (5ft 8in/1.73m), Lester was nicknamed ‘The Long Fellow’ and for most of his career rode at eight stone (112lb/51kg), being champion jockey 11 times. Retiring in 1985, Lester

became a trainer at the Eve Lodge stables which housed 97 horses who won 34 races between them. However, he was convicted of tax fraud in 1987 and sent to prison for three years, of which he served 366 days. And because of his conviction, he was stripped of his OBE which he received in 1975. On his release from prison, Lester returned to riding and immediately won the Breeders’ Cup Mile on Royal Academy, adding another Classic winner to his list on Rodrigo de Triano in the 2,000 Guineas of 1992. He rode his last flat race winner in October 1994 and retired, second time round, in 1995. Lester, unfortunately, suffered with a heart problem for many years after that but still attended several race meetings.
