Welcome to the world baby Max First baby of year born in Torrevieja
By Gemma Quinn The first baby of 2016 was born at Torrevieja Hospital. Baby Max Lowe arrived just nine seconds after midnight to the delight of proud parents Dave and Elena Lowe. Max is the couple’s first baby and weighed a healthy 4.4kg. His appearance in the early hours of New Year’s Day was welcomed by all the maternity staff who were hoping for a New Year arrival: “They were all so fantastic at the hospital,”
said the proud Dad: “The service was just superb, so much better than what we would have got in the UK, we got our own room and were kept there for two days as they did all the checks.” During a visit to the hospital’s newsagents, he had the welcome surprise to find his new son was already hitting the headlines with Max’s birth in the Spanish papers as the first baby born in 2016. British born Dave, who part owns and runs Siesta Group, met Russian Elena in China
when he was there working looking at furniture pieces to import for the company. She moved to Spain to be with Dave and they have now been married for more than two years. Being such an international couple, Dave said they
had to think long and hard about their baby’s name and find a good strong name that works for both their British and Russian backgrounds and for their baby’s home country of Spain and finally settled on Max.
