Mutiny in Malaga The Malaga-Costa del Sol airport may be set for travel chaos after members of the Federal Union of The General Confederation of Labour (CGT), working within the subsidiary easyJet Handling Spain, submitted a call for a general strike of all easyJet staff to begin Tuesday, May 31.

The strike would be indefinite and run for 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

“We want to display the strongest possible protest against the completely unjustified dismissals of three colleagues,” said a CGT source, adding that as in previous cases “it seems that company practice is to process ‘disciplinary’ dismissals, then later offer financial settlements when they recognise the inappropriate nature of their actions.”

According to the no-frills carrier, the measures fall in line with the company’s ‘viability plan,’ but the CGT are convinced that it is “a method

that only aims to increase profits of the airline as they lay off employees in possession of long-term contracts with decent wages and other perks, in order to replace them with temporary staff on precarious contracts and with harsh working conditions.”

The CGT source continued, adding that easyJet Handling Spain “has not failed to improve their record profit margin for five consecutive years, and they want to increase it further by applying this policy of unfair dismissals.”

easyJet’s viability plan was put into place in February 2016, and included an ‘adjustment’ relating to Spanish staff, despite its €1 billion profit margin in 2015.

Given that easyJet is Malaga’s second-largest airline by numbers of passengers, any-

one wishing to travel in or out of the Costa del Sol with easyJet at the beginning of June may now wish to consider the possibility of flying into Gibraltar, which offers daily connections to London Gatwick and three flights per week to Bristol.

Jobless concern THE main problems highlighted by the public in Malaga Province are unemployment, cleanliness and health, according to a survey by Costa del Sol Tourism and Planning.

Bush murder trial begins

Lab is liquidated TORREMOLINOS is likely to abolish its laboratory after reports revealed that its existence is not mandatory, and is costing the municipality some €300,000 per year.

The lab was created in 1991 and conducts analyses of tap water, as well as swimming pools and beaches, but is considered an autonomous, rather than municipal, service.

EX-MODEL and former girlfriend of murdered British millionaire Andrew Bush appeared in a Malaga court on Monday May 23.

The wealthy jeweller was shot three times at his Estepona villa on April 5, 2014, after Mayka Kukucova, then

aged 24, confronted him in front of his new girlfriend.

She told the court that he attacked her, saying “I don’t know how but when we were fighting I got the weapon and it went off,” and the prosecution alleges that she then positioned the weapon in his hand to indicate suicide, whereas she claims she didn’t

even know he was dead as she fled the scene.

Kukucova immediately left Spain for Slovakia but later turned herself into police after an arrest warrant was issued.

She was then extradited to Madrid and has been in an Alhaurin de la Torre prison for over two years awaiting trial.

The case continues.

Can’t buy me love: why Spain owes us ‘nada’

Our readers have been expressing their views on an article about Spain and what it owes us British which appeared on our website

Credit Rushkpp Shutterstock

www.euroweeklynews.com Here are a few of your comments, some of which have had to be cut due to size, and we are always happy to hear from everyone whatever their opinion.

Lazy expats I’ve found Spain to be hugely welcome of foreigners. It takes decades before anyone who isn’t their cousin or even from the next village to be considered ‘one of them,’ but they’re a bit too understanding with lazy expatriates who won’t learn the language. However, if a ‘tradition’ is cruel or a law is oppressive, it should be challenged, whether you’re foreign or not. Kally

Tables turned Good points. The bottom line is that, despite all the hoopla, very few Brits are ever forced into adapting to another language and culture, and wouldn’t like it at all if they were. Yet many of us don’t afford the same common decency to the countries we inhabit. Sometimes, I suppose, cash is king. Arnold

SPAIN: Has strong regional traditions, far more than contemporary Britain, but they’re under serious threat.

By Matthew Elliott ONE of the main gripes many Brits have about their country is that the ‘powers that be’ bend over backwards to appease cosmopolitan ideologies, spouted by people divorced from everyday reality.

There has always been a tension between the high-brow elite who believe they know what’s best for the commoners, and the visceral urge most people have, to tell these patronisers where to stick it.

Whatever your opinion on how a country should treat its foreign born subjects, Britain is undoubtedly one of the m o st f l e x i b l e n atio n s o u t there when it comes to cultural immersion.

It’s a different story in Spain, where immigrants like the British, Chinese and Romanians can be given noth i n g b u t a h a r d time o f it through bureaucracy, taxation, and hugely curtailed civic rights.

Unfortunately decades of fascism, cronyism, financial mismanagement and regional division have

Whatever your opinion on how a country should treat its foreign born subjects, Britain is undoubtedly one of the most flexible nations out there when it comes to cultural immersion.

left the Spanish economy in urgent need of a cash injection, with sunstrapped Brits happy to oblige.

So inevitably there’s resentment at having to endure these northern hordes simply to pay the bills, and a flaky passive-aggressiveness ensues, especially towards ‘guiris,’ foreigners who fail to properly integrate.

In Greece you can see the worst expression of this contorted relationship, with many locals learning Russian to please their new paymasters now that the Germans have left the building.

That’s a matchbox already catching fire, and who could blame the Greeks for rioting?

Imagine your business suddenly relied on the whim of foreigners because your neighbours were all broke.

Most Brits wouldn’t last very long be ing forc e d to grove l in Poland in exchange for a wad of s hiny e uros , pra ying the ir ne w overlords don’t return to Warsaw and write a bad review on TripAdvisor.

Russians and Brits, used to getting their own way, would be humilia te d by s uc h a re ve rs a l, but many Spaniards and Greeks feel exactly the same, after all they were empires too once.

As experience will tell you, letting yourself be walked over doesn’t bode well for your chances of a

fair shake further down the line; if anything quite the opposite.

It’s remarkably easy to become a victim.

Is it time Spain stood up for itself by cracking down harder on foreigners who don’t fully assimilate, letting off that pent up steam before it explodes all over their already fractured internal politics?

Frankly it’s embarrassing that many Spanish allow Brits and other foreigners to walk all over them, criticising their cultural traditions such as bullfighting, without offering a real fight.

Money talks, but personal pride is hugely important to a healthy society.

Spain has strong regional traditions, far more so than contemporary Britain, but they’re under serious threat.

A line needs to be drawn in the sand soon, if Spain doesn’t want to become another lobotomised Trojan horse for cultural imperialism, and moaning foreigners should be first up for the chop.

Greater good We’ve every right to protest bullfighting because it’s abhorrent. It doesn’t matter that it’s been going on for ages; so has murder and slavery but humans have evolved by challenging tradition. Beatrice

Karma police Soon the tables will turn and us Brits will be in trouble when we’re the ones needing tips and charity, it’s just common sense to behave decently whatever the circumstances. Karma isn’t just a metaphor you know!

Steve

Treated equal We pay our bills, we contribute to the economy and we deserve precisely the same rights as the Spanish do. Should the case be the same for foreigners in Britain? Absolutely! It’s time to do away with all of this nationalism and division and deal with people on their individual merits Jack

By Matt Ford A FUENGIROLA mother is battling local education authorities in order to allow her 12year-old daughter to attend school alongside her therapy dog in the next academic year, and has already collected over 30,000 signatures.

Patricia Jimenez Fernandez was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer in 2011, when she was seven, and now suffers partial memory loss, epilepsy and extreme disorientation due to radiotherapy she has received.

She currently attends school one hour per day, accompanied by mum Marisa Jimenez, but has now asked to attend more due to being “bored at home,” and the idea is to allow her to go for two hours per day, plus break time, accompanied by therapy dog Dora.

Patricia currently sees eightmonth-old Dora once a month, but from July the golden retriever will be a new addition

Unlike in Madrid and Catalunya, there are no specific regulations governing the use of therapy dogs in Andalu-

cian schools, and Marisa was only able to encounter one comparable example in Jaen, so she decided to start a petition on the Change.org website.

This received 24,000 signa-

tures in the first day, a figure which has now risen to 32,000, with the family requesting that Patricia be allowed to attend with Dora, and also be provided with a dedicated carer during school hours.

Getting to work WOMEN still face more difficulties accessing the job market than men, a problem Mijas Council’s Equality department is currently working to combat with a new initiative and specific training.

Women at risk of social exclusion were provided with specific training to help them learn how to create a CV and to use the internet to find work.

Subjects touched upon at the training days (on Tuesday May 24 and Thursday May 26) included what to put on a CV and what to leave out, how to use online employment platforms to search for work and how to write an attractive cover letter.

This is to be followed by a new digital platform which aims to link local women seeking work with local businesses, with the Equality department acting as an intermediary.

I am staggered, disappointed and somewhat bemused that you should publish such a one-sided and quite honestly biased virtually whole-page article in this week’s paper on page three. If you have personal views, just state that fact, don’t try and present it as a balanced view.

May I remind you and the writer, John Smith, that the referendum is not based on personalities, name calling and petty quips, but on the real problems facing the UK. If you publish such an article, you should at least take a balanced and more pragmatic approach rather than pandering to one side or the other.

As a proud Briton who has served his country, what we need are facts, not opinions. As with politics, you will always find a great number of people on opposite sides of the argument, but that neither makes them bad or mad. In terms of the referendum, if you are prepared to read all the comments, you will find there are as many economists that have an opposing view to those that say stay.

The list of facts is so long it would take an eternity to complete. Yet you seem to believe that the colour and logo on 50 million passports is an issue?

What a plonker!

For those that can remember (and as advice for those too young to have watched), if you want to know how the UK is run, just look at any programme from the old ‘Yes Minister’ series. Having worked closely with the inner workings of Government, it is pretty much 100 per cent accurate, very alarming and so, so frightening.

PP’s Muñoz denies Gibraltar rumours

By John Smith THE leader of the Popular Party (PP) in Marbella, Angeles Muñoz, has come out strongly to deny all rumours that have appeared in recent days which link her and her finances to a company in Gibraltar. She has stated quite clearly, “I do not have any connection with Gibraltar, and I have never had any company in Gibraltar, or in any other location other than Spain.”

In addition, she made it clear that she believed that she had made her financial situation

quite clear to the tax authorities and had no reason to be ashamed of any action that she had taken.

With the forthcoming election due to be held on June 26, Ms Muñoz clearly believes that the timing of any accusation concerning her financial situation and thinly veiled inference of tax evasion using the ‘bête noir ’ of Gibraltar (which is actually seen as being much ‘cleaner’ than many other small administrations) is meant to discredit her to the advantage of her political opponents.

ENVIRONMENTAL officers from the Junta de Andalucia regional government are to conduct a series of 230 anti-wildfire inspections during May and June, while Malaga Province will count on 74 dedicated agents during the high-risk period, which runs from June 1 to October 15.

THE lifeless body of a 78-year-old fisherman was found floating in the mouth of the River Guadiaro in the early hours of Saturday, May 21, following a brief search.

The alarm had been raised by the Malaga native’s fellow fishermen, who alerted police after losing sight of the man near Sotogrande marina, with his corpse eventually turning up on Tiburon beach.

It remains unclear exactly what happened, but the incident is being treated as an accident.

Maltreatment scandal

By Matt Ford A DOZEN families filed an official complaint on Monday May 23, concerning perceived mistreatment of pensioners at the SARquavitae Azalea nursing home in San Pedro de Alcantara, Marbella.

The relatives assert that numerous irregularities and “continuous abuse” have been taking place at the lodgings, most seriously illegal retention of clients, errors in drug administration, lack of hygiene, and unqualified staff, with residents left malnourished and dehydrated.

The company running the home has rejected all charges, declaring that it has passed all necessary inspections carried out to date, and this was confirmed by the Junta de Andalucia regional government, which subsidises a number of places for poorer families and is now accused of “collusion.”

Perhaps the most spectacular allegation is that staff are allowing elderly people to die, especially if their families complain about the revolting conditions, and that “they don’t care if people die since they have a lengthy waiting list.”

Hygiene is said to be abject, with the

MISPRACTICE: The retirement facility has been accused of treating residents badly. pensioners restricted to one shower a week and not having their teeth cleaned or clothing changed, while food is served in insufficiently-sized portions with no attention to individual needs based on the residents’ pathology.

The retention of residents against their will is another serious assertion, and has led to the home being referred to as “Guantanamo” by locals.

Manuel Fernandez, one of the family members involved and a former ombudsman, said: “Residents without families who visit them are abducted and locked away behind doors with a secret code for the rest of their lives; they are only allowed out to eat and do not see the sun, spending the rest of their time sat in wheelchairs.”

Fernandez says that his brother-in-

law was subjected to 20 days of solitary confinement without explanation, eventually managing to escape following a call to National Police and an individual court case.

In response, Azalea defended its work, referencing “high quality standards,” and adding that residents “have a personalised care plan and a daily record to ensure quality care.”

Aging population is endangering pensions

By Eleanor Hawkins ALTHOUGH Spain is slowly recovering from the recession, at least on paper, the latest figures on pensions and social security payments published this week by the National Statistics Institute shine a worrying light on the future of state pensions in Malaga Province.

On May 31, 2015, 142,254 people in the province were being paid a state retirement pension, almost 32,000 more than in 2008.

However, there were just 543,492 people in active employment paying into the Social Security system whereas in 2008 there were 589,438.

Although the number of people in work has increased gradually since 2013, the proportion of pensioners to workers is still a far cry from what it was in the golden years.

Once disability, widows and other pensions are taken into account there are 252,095 people receiving monthly payments from the state, giv-

STATE PENSIONS: In May 2015, 142,254 people in Malaga were being paid a state pension, almost 32,000 more than in 2008. ing a ratio of almost exactly one pensioner per two workers. In 2008 the rate was one per 2.75.

Although unemployment remains a major issue, the main factor contributing to this problem, which is causing

the provincial piggy banks to crack, is the aging population.

On January 1, 2016, there were almost 270,000 people in the province aged 65 or over, 20.3 per cent more than in 2008.

Unless birth rates and em-

ployment increase drastically, there is a serious risk of today’s generation of workers finding in the future that there are no funds left to provide the pensions they believe they have been paying towards all their working lives.

‘Fake Sheikh’ jailed

By Matt Ford THE Malaga Provincial Court has sentenced a Nigerian man who convinced a Marbella doctor he was an Arab sheikh and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates to four-and-a-half years in prison, with his accomplice receiving a two-year sentence.

He also told the woman that he had fallen in love with her after contacting her through Facebook, and the pair later had a Skype video conference in which he inserted an image of the true UAE minister, Mohammed Bin Raschid Al Makhoun, dubbed over with his own voice.

During the initial period of contact, the fake Sheikh asked to be friends with the doctor and began to shower her with flattering comments, even proposing marriage

and declaring that if she accepted he would quit his job and change her life.

After receiving a steady stream of messages in which the fraudster declared his undying love for her, she started to trust her princely admirer, with her confidence eventually reaching a point where she agreed to make a series of payments to the man’s account.

The hapless doctor thus handed over considerable sums of money, including one deposit of €25,000, being told that the funds would be used to fight terrorism or help innocent Syrians who died in the war, with the bogus nobleman unable to transfer the cash himself for fear of sparking a diplomatic incident, and pledging compensation of €1.5 million.

Once all the money had been received,

the ersatz minister asked the woman how much cash she had available, dispatching a henchman posing as a Syrian delegate to Puerto Banus in order to collect the €50,000 she agreed to donate.

The victim eventually realised she was being scammed, and contacted the Spanish Embassy in Dubai in June 2014, demanding the money be returned to her.

She was referred to Spanish police, who concocted a plan to unmask the culprits, by convincing them that she was willing to provide more capital, and they arranged a meeting for July 9 2014.

The phoney Syrian appeared clutching a bunch of flowers and hand-written letter from the Sheikh, leading to the arrest of both men, who must now compensate the victim to the tune of €585,000.

Doggie DNA register to keep track of pets

By Eleanor Hawkins OJEN is to become the first village in Malaga Province to make a dog DNA register, the council has announced.

The measure, local mayor Jose Antonio Gomez explained, aims to keep track of the pets resident in the village, combat animal cruelty and abandonment and help keep the streets clean.

Town hall representatives will be meeting local vets over the next few days to organise an information campaign for pet owners. Then DNA samples will be collected with a maximum of two months allowed for all dogs to be registered.

Initially the cost of testing and registration will be covered by the municipal coffers, however further testing and registration of new pets at a later date will be paid for by the owners.

Once samples have been taken owners will be given a metal tag for their dogs’ collars and a pet ID card.

After the two month period, the council explained, the order will be given for samples to be taken of mess found on the streets which will be sent to a laboratory in Sevilla to track down and fine the offending owners up to €500.

DNA TEST: Will identify owners who do not clean up after their dog.

A RATHER bizarre case handled by the National Police in Marbella has seen a man go from reporting being raped and robbed to him being arrested for making up a very tall tale and wasting police time, all in an attempt to avoid his wife discovering his infidelity.

The surprising story began when a 50-yearold man and his wife arrived at the police station, explaining that they wanted to report a very serious matter.

The man told officers that while jogging near Plaza de la Libertad he had been grabbed from behind and forced into the entrance to a building with a knife held to his head by a man and woman.

Once alone, he reported, the woman had pulled down his trousers and performed oral sex on him while the man continued to threaten him with the knife before going through

his pockets and running away with his mobile phone.

Although the officers found the story rather suspicious, they began to investigate but soon decided that it could not be true.

Upon challenging the man on discrepancies in his statement, officers reported, he broke down and confessed he had actually been unfaithful to his wife without using protection but later feared he could have caught something and so decided to use a condom.

INFATUATED: Mel and Rosalind on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival.

‘William Wallace’ spotted in Ronda

By Matt Ford AFTER taking on the Romans in his Jesus-based epic ‘The Passion of the Christ,’ Mel Gibson has been spotted soaking up the sights of Ronda, much of which was built by the ancient empire-builders, as he holidayed with his girlfriend.

Sporting dark glasses atop his bushy white beard, Mel was barely recognisable as he toured the town’s main sights on May 18, including the famous El Tajo bridge, a similarly quaint period piece to Mel’s 1980s mullet-style hairdo.

Following their Spanish jaunt, Mel and his young girl-

friend Rosalind Ross later indulged in a public display of affection on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, as they shared a number of kisses and cuddles on the red carpet outside the Palais des Festivals, having made their first public appearance together back in January this year.

In addition to promoting the resort’s new tourism infrastructure, such as the pedestrianised town centre, and the creation of an updated brand identity, the LGBT association of Torremolinos is now officially twinned with its Madrid counterpart, as an agreement between Pride Torremolinos and the Gay and Lesbian Association of Businessman and Trades in Madrid was signed.

WELCOME to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short term lender. In our weekly column, we look at different financial products that Hola Credito offers – this week, perhaps your daughters turning sweet sixteen and you need some help.

Daughters manipulate their fathers perhaps Hola Credito can help?

With the advent of the MTV generation, pester power has become a great deal stronger and suddenly life is over if you can’t supply a sweet 16 party for a daughter who is already sulking just because of her age and money doesn’t grow on trees.

Don’t worry, a short term loan from Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) could help you to give her a night and a gift to remember and you can repay Hola Credito over a number of months making it far less painful both on your pocket and your ears.

Discretely placed in Puerto Banus they offer an efficient and confidential service by lending cash against easily stored items including jewellery, watches or even cars which would be left as security.

A BAKER’S dozen of wrongdoers, including five police officers, will appear before a Malaga court in June following a mass brawl outside a nightclub in Puerto Marina, Benalmadena.

The scrimmage broke out after a skirmish in the

nightspot between two men belonging to the same stag party, as one chomped down on the other’s hand.

This caused a National Police officer, socialising in the club and not on duty, to attempt to separate the cannibalistic pair by “rushing into one of them” according to reports.

Outside the premises, the

remainder of the stag group were told what had happened and one, a Local Police officer, decided to demand an explanation from his national counterpart, which he did by beating him in the face with the butt of a gun he was carrying, as the other man punched him in the mouth.

A second National Police officer, and friend of the first, attempted to intervene and break up the melee, as did three others who arrived at the scene, but they were unable to do so as enraged members of the stag party refused to back down, with a free-for-all breaking out.

According to prosecutors, one of the stag group was handcuffed, after which the officers continued to maul him and injure three of his friends as they joined the melee, with the police officers also suffering unspecified injuries.

The eight stag party members are accused of assault and intentional injury, with the prosecution requesting eight years in prison for each of them, while the five officers are charged with four counts of injury and may also be imprisoned.

He regularly plays football and goes skiing and running, and in 2009 became a member of the Triathlon Club in Marbella, a gruelling discipline he has persevered with ever since.

The Ironman races are known throughout the world for being brutal and tough, both physically and mentally. The Lanzarote race involved swimming 3.86 km, cycling for 180.2 km and running a 42.20 km marathon; the Marbella athlete confirmed that he reached the finishing line in 17 hours and 20 minutes.

Merida had aimed to complete the distance in less than 16 hours and 40 minutes, beating his previous Ironman record in 2014; however a problem with his prosthesis on the second kilometre of the marathon meant that Merida had to slow down significantly.

Although disappointed with his final time, the athlete remained positive about the race and commented that it is “a constant battle against oneself.”

Suicide concerns

By Matt Ford A RECENT spate of suicides on Ronda, where two people died having thrown themselves off the city’s famous Puente Nuevo bridge, has led a group of youngsters to launch a petition via the website Change.org, demanding action from the local council.

The teenagers are friends of a 16-year-old boy who committed suicide by leaping into the abyss of the El Tajo gorge, and they ask authorities to consider installing a fence or surveillance equipment on the bridge, comparing the case to the Eiffel Tower, which is fenced to prevent people jumping.

Officials have said that the measures are not viable, not only due to the risk of disfiguring the monument, but because if the bridge were secured, there would still remain ‘several kilometres’ of cornices which would also need to be monitored or otherwise protected, a mission that municipal sources deem “practically impossible.”

Francisco Caro believes that old tyres should be recycled and turned into crash barriers, asserting that the idea would

have “zero cost for the administration” and create “safer roads.”

Caro has actually patented a similar idea before, but has now updated his vision in order to omit certain treatments and processing, making the scheme more environmentally-friendly.

Under the new design, the unmodified tyres are simply inserted into a polyester casing which is then filled with a special sand-like material, permitting flexibility

in the event of a collision.

In a move sure to delight motorcyclists, no metal is used in the design, with the boffin already having fielded questions from interested parties in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Remember to register

REFERENDUM VOTE: The deadline for registering for a postal vote has passed, but you can still vote by proxy.

MORE than 120,000 in Spain have clicked on the voter registration web page.

British expatriates who have been registered to vote in the UK within the last 15 years have until Tuesday June 7 to apply for a proxy vote in the EU Referendum.

That is the final deadline for registering to take part in one of the most historic decisions that the British people will make for a generation. The deadline for registering for a postal vote has now passed, but you can still appoint someone you trust in the UK to vote for you.

Simon Manley, British Ambassador to Spain, said: “Although the deadline for expats to vote by post in the EU referendum has now passed, you can still register to vote by proxy, as long as you do so by June 7. We all know how important the referendum will be, for us, for our children, and for our country.

“Whether you think we should leave or remain, I would encourage those who have not yet registered to vote, and who are eligible to do so, to avail themselves of this final opportunity to have their say on June 23.

“I am well aware that expatriates who have lived overseas for more than 15 years are ineligible, and I know that many are frustrated about that.

The government will bring forward the Overseas Elector Bill to abolish this arbitrary time limit, but it must undergo full Parliamentary scrutiny and debate, so unfortunately it cannot be passed before the referendum.”

More than 120,000 people with Spanish IP addresses have now visited the website: www.gov.uk/register-to-vote since the beginning of the year.

And thanks to the online registration system, more than 180,000 expatriates worldwide have so far completed their

registration to vote, nearly double the number for last year’s General Election, which was itself a record figure.

The process is easy and takes just five minutes. Go to www.gov.uk/register-to-vote or search for ‘UK register to vote’ on www.gov.uk.

You need only your National Insurance number and passport. If you did vote in the general election last year, don’t assume you are still on the electoral roll: just as in the UK, you must renew your registration every year.

You have until June 7 to go online and make sure you can have your say.

If you were last on the electoral roll in Northern Ireland then you need to act quickly.

The Electoral Office for Northern Ireland says that if you are appointing a proxy to vote at the EU Referendum, the deadline for sending in your application is 5.00pm on June 3.

Parking mad

By Eleanor Hawkins FOLLOWING a decade of setbacks and postponements, the underground car park in Benalmadena’s Pueblo Sol district is finally operational.

Located in Arroyo de la Miel, the privately-operated facility is set to solve a number of issues, with affordable monthly rent available on some of its 800 spaces, while the remainder are earmarked for shoppers and other temporary visitors.

Despite the positive outcome, opposition

Councillor Enrique Garcia of the CSSPPodemos coalition still managed to find fault with the project, as he said: “This is good news for the town, but we would have preferred a municipal car park… we hope that Benalmadena citizens will not have to wait over 10 years for future projects such as this, and that public benefit can be more important than private interests.”

Meanwhile, maintenance work in Pueblo Sol’s Plaza Adolfo Suarez has been completed, with the fountains now in working order.

Encouraging the future MIJAS Youth Department has put out a call to local youths to encourage them to create youth groups and help develop common activities and projects.

This , Youth C ounc ill or Nur i a Rodr i guez stressed, is an important way of motivating the young of the area who are also its future.

Local residents aged 14 to 30 interested in becoming part of the new project are invited to visit the youth offices at the Las Lagunas theatre for more information.

A series of events will take place at emblematic sites throughout the town, of which several will be open to the general public, with live music on Friday night in Plaza de la Nogalera, where an exhibition will be in place on Saturday and Sunday.

Environmental laws ignored CHEEKY Mijas Mayor Juan Carlos Maldonado is once again under fire from the Popular Party (PP) opposition, who this time claim that he has allowed a Lebanese businessman to commit “serious environmental crimes,” including construction of a house, removal of rare cork oak trees, diversion of a tributary of the River Ojen, and excavation of two large waste water ponds with a capacity of 32 million litres.

The issue surrounds the location of the suspicious site, at the border between the municipalities of Mijas and Ojen, with the latter side urbanised and the former comprising undeveloped, specially protected land.

Although the landowner was told to replace any removed earth and pay successive fines amounting to 10 per cent of the work’s value on April 12, progress has simply continued unchecked, with water now being appropriated from the protected river for an illegal well, and the two ponds receiving wastewater from a nearby sewage works on the Ojen side.

The PP drew attention to a report produced by SEPRONA, the environmental branch of the Guardia Civil, which states that the infractions already ‘violate 11 laws.’

Local natural park fiasco rumbles on

By Matt Ford

MALAGA CITY Council will implore the Junta de Andalucia regional government to take responsibility for the ‘guaranteed cleaning and conservation status’ of the Guadalhorce Natural Park, located between the provincial capital and Torremolinos.

The site is among the most important for birdlife in the province, and the Junta has been in charge of its management since 1989, when it was first declared a protected space.

Local councillor for Town Planning, Jose Francisco Pomares, said that the spot has been “treated as a pile of dung,” and referenced recent events in which a number of benches and rubbish bins had

In addition, the council is requesting answers from the Junta regarding the planned footbridge that is supposed to traverse the park, forming a key link in the ‘senda litoral’ coastal footpath.

Pomares said the walkway had been “paralysed for two years” with the regional body offering only “excuses” of “environmental protection.”

“We find it curious, not to mention incoherent, how we need to be on top of environmental issues while the regional Environment Ministry uses the space we want to preserve as a dumping ground.”

Battle Royale THE spectre of ethnic tension reared its ugly head after three Tajiks were killed during a huge cemetery battle in the Moscow hinterlands.

Hundreds of people wielding Kalashnikovs, shovels and crowbars fought among the gravestones, with the antagonists thought to be Russians from the North Caucasus region angry over migration from Central Asia.

Spanish industry giants to pitch for Cuban trade

VISIT: President Barack Obama with Cuban President Raul Castro in Havana.

IT has been reported that Spanish electricity providers, including Gamesa, Acciona and Gas Natural, sent emissaries to Cuba in order to establish trade opportunities and connections for business development now that the US has removed its long-standing sanctions and trading embargo with the neighbouring country.

The Cuban Government has apparently decided to concentrate on finding new methods of obtaining and maintaining renewable energy sources in order to minimise external influence generated from importing electro-power, preferring to produce their own.

The emphasis on finding energy production sources that can be generated from wind or sun is linked to the supposition that Cuban fuel is considered to be of rather low quality, as well as in short supply.

A further 55 enterprises from Spain are visiting Cuba during this official trip, organised by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce. The Cuban market, now open after the removal of the American trade and commerce blockade, has attracted massive international interest and many companies headed there in order to cement their position on this emerging economical podium.

Amongst the first US companies travelling to conquer new territory were Marriott, Google and AT&T, after US leader, Barack Obama’s historical visit to Havana, closely followed by a state visit from French President, Francois Hollande; the first European leader to make the step.

The exciting opportunities come with Cuban President’s Raul Castro’s policies for liberalisation and modernisation of the previously isolated state.

Modesto Pineiro, who is the Vice President of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce as well as the Chairman of the Bilateral Business Committee, has stated that, “Spain has a very competitive position in Cuba - it is the third largest presence on the island - and must move to maintain its weight amongst increased competition and interest from other countries.”

38 per cent increase in exports to Cuba, a fast growing market, in 2015.

He believes that Cuba is a fast growing market and that Spain and its companies should take a leading role in Cuba’s development process.

Considering that export to the island grew 38 per cent in 2015, reaching a record 964 million, it is not surprising that many countries are interested in sharing Cuba’s expanding commercial platform.

Business opportunities for Spanish companies are not just limited to renewable energy products, but also to the island’s plans to develop their shipping industry and trade ports, warranting a visit from Urbas and other real-estate firms, who develop ports such as Ineco and Port of Barcelona.

Furthermore, companies such as Productos La Constancia, Roser and Germina, who specialise in the installation of equipment for the food industry, are aiming to improve Cuba’s food tourism sector.

How am I the sane one here?

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

I’m beginning to believe this could truly be the case

OTHERS THINK IT

I CAN honestly say that never in my wildest dreams would I ever consider myself the voice of sanity.

However, with the ever increasing madness that seems to be prevailing on this asylum of a planet, I’m beginning to believe this could truly be the case.

A first example is a group of men and women who should be the undisputed bastions of reason and responsibility, namely our esteemed judges.

Instead, with monotonous regularity, we read of judgements being made by these people that truly should earn them a one way ticket to the local establishment of lunatics.

This week was no exception. One of our twirling top knots actually ruled that a one-legged, self-confessed Albanian double murderer, who has a four-bedroom council house plus £2,000 (€2,587) a month

ESTEEMED JUDGES: Most of these maniacal rulings originate from the European courts. in benefits, and reputedly makes a fortune selling cocaine, should receive legal aid to fight extradition from the UK, under (you’ve guessed

it) the Human Rights Act! You will, I’m sure, note that most of these maniacal rulings originate from the European courts. Yet more reason we

should be breathing sighs of relief and good riddance next month!

In yet more insanity, this week Tony Blair announced he would help

three million Albanians get the right to work in the UK! This traitor, who in my opinion is responsible for practically all our immigration problems, is still working to undermine the UK. And last, but by no means least, the Judge’s decision to gag the media in the celebrity ‘ménage a trois’ affair.

The identity of this couple has been all over the Scottish Press, is rife in the American media and the Internet. In a highly expensive court proceeding Judges ruled that the British media should be banned from revealing their identity! Well, all I can say is how delighted I was to recently read they were one of the most happily married couples in show biz.

Intelligent evolution

COSTA DEL SOL: Today you have far more technology, expertise and collective experience at your fingertips to make a vastly more informed decision about investing in the property market.

By Matthew Elliott PROPERTY markets are by their very nature complex, dynamic and subject to powerful external forces, yet the Costa del Sol has persevered in its phenomenal recovery and recent years have seen the marketplace enjoy a welcome level of stability, while growing in confidence with each passing day.

The dream of owning a home on the Costa, whether in elegant Marbella, picturesque Mijas, on the shores of Benalmadena, Fuengirola, and San Pedro, or inland in beautiful Coin, Alhaurin and Benahavis, is as potent as ever, and has spread far beyond Britain, Germany, and other reservoirs of expatriate adventurers.

Today the Costa del Sol property market boasts huge levels of interest from smart in-

vestors from places like Russia, China, and even America, as well as broadening its appeal throughout Europe, with ever growing numbers of Finnish, French, and Belgians contributing to the vibrant cultural melting pot.

This is an incredibly important and beneficial development, both to local residents and anyone interested in buying or selling a home here. By consolidating its reputation and attracting a wider variety of investors, the property market is successfully insulating itself from concerns over the Brexit, while also helping power the engine of the national market.

Regardless of uncertainty over the referendum, the Spanish property market is in rude health, seeing numbers not witnessed in almost a decade across all the essential indicators. Home sales and transac-

The Costa del Sol property market boasts huge levels of interest from smart investors. tions, rental markets, the related construction and legal sectors, and foreign interest have also seen tremendous improvements since 2014, marked by a welcome blend of stability that hints at a maturing marketplace.

A crucial piece of the puzzle is the evolution of the market itself, in terms of how business is conducted, how clients are treated, and the vast scope of immensely valuable information now at their disposal.

With widespread investment and growing awareness from the international business community there is now simply too

much money at stake for the sector not to rapidly adapt and become one of the world’s most advanced, and fortunately that is precisely what is happening.

Values including trust, transparency, financial fairness, and sustainability now enjoy a far more privileged place than seen in the past, and this development allows foreign residents and expatriates the much deserved opportunity to be confident in their property decisions, and to choose Spain, and the Costa del Sol, ahead of other prime destinations.

A fundamental part of this evolution is down to the dedication of local property specialists and real estate agents, who have come through the tough times stronger than ever, and can attribute their success to their firm commitment to community values of fairness and sustainability.

Because these people are from the community, live in the community, owe their success and future to the community, they are far more inclined to ensure, not only that their neighbours are protected, but that the financial health of local properties continues to excel.

If you are seriously considering buying or selling a property here on the Costa del Sol, then it is the specialists and experts featured throughout these pages who should be your first port of call, who know the areas and communities intimately, and can offer priceless advice, even if just a quick chat over a cup of tea.

It is this kind of client and community focussed service that you simply will not find elsewhere, and it’s hugely beneficial when making such a serious consideration to be able to talk with someone on the level,

who understands exactly any hopes and concerns you may have.

Today you have far more technology, expertise and collective experience at your fingertips to make a vastly more informed decision, and a healthy vibrant market to look forward to investing in.

Should you wish to truly understand local dynamics and ensure that you make the smart, sensible decision when it comes to your financial future, then the experts in this supplement are the people to speak with.

The enduring appeal of the Costa del Sol is that it offers a range of property options for all budgets, interests and desires.

Its property marketplace has now earned a well deserved reputation for a dynamic professionalism that is set to ensure the region’s long term prosperity.

More tips on selling your home John Graham The property expert

THIS week we will continue with my Top Tips on selling your home. Right now we will go through tips six to eight. Next week we will conclude with the last two.

6. Not everyone can afford or will want to spend a lot of money on new kitchens, bathrooms, curtains and furnishings etc to make their home look at its best.

My Top Tip number six for preparing your home for the buyers visit on a low budget, is cover up and hide anything that looks worn or out of date.

Sofas and chairs in the living room can be brought back to life if you buy neutral covers for them and add a few scatter cushions. All old curtains should be open and tied back. For bedrooms, buy new bed covers, and for bathrooms buy matching sets of bathroom mats and

SPARE ROOM: Make it into a dedicated guest bedroom. towels and new shower curtains.

Take up carpets that look a bit worn, and in the kitchen keep work surfaces clear and tidy and fit new door handles to the cupboards.

7. Most modern villas and apartments in Spain have a garage and storeroom, and the buyer needs to feel he can easily park the car and store accessories in their new home.

My Top Tip number seven is clear out the garage and storeroom so that the buyer can visualise parking the car easily, and there’s also plenty of storage space available. It’s a small

detail but sales have been lost because buyers couldn’t visualise their 4x4 car fitting into the garage space.

8. Many homes have what’s commonly called a spare room, which in many cases turns into a junk room because it is not used daily.

My Top Tip number eight is give this room a clear identity, you want to avoid the buyer thinking they are paying for something that is a waste of space and will probably want to reduce their offer.

Make your spare room into a dedicated guest bedroom, put new neutral colored covers on the bed, add scatter cushions, a matching carpet and curtains.

Or if the spare room is a bit small, turn the room into a study, buy a desk and chair, reading lamp and if you have one, put your laptop on the desk.

All of a sudden your spare room looks part of the home: neat, tidy and functional.

POSTIVE SIGNS: The property market is in its fifth year of recovery after the housing bubble burst in 2007 and 2008.

By Matt Ford ALTHOUGH Spain continues to battle the effects of the recession, the Marbella housing market is showing extremely positive signs of recovery, with 4,390 homes sold in

2015, representing an increase of 9.83 per cent in 2014 and an outcome comparable to 2006.

In 2008, only 2,116 properties were traded, with numbers remaining less than 2,500 until 2012.

The number of completed projects also exceeded 60 for the first time since 2010 in 2015.

Excellent property returns in the Spanish market ONE of the world’s largest and most respected investor indexes has revealed that returns on Spanish property are currently running at their best results in 10 years. A report from the internationally renowned MSCI has noted an excellent 15.3 per cent total return on investments in Spanish property in 2015.

Its comprehensive IPD Spain Annual Property Index followed the financial performance of more than 400 investments, which a have combined value of €17.6 billion.

The last time such successful figures were seen was back in 2006 when property returns jumped a record 16.9 per cent.

Last year’s data marks an eyecatching improvement on the 9.4 per cent increase seen in 2014, and is thought to have been encouraged by excellent capital growth, which rose to 9.7 per cent, from a solid 3.4 per cent the previous year.

Heaven - it wants its grass back GREEN is back in vogue as residents and businesses alike realise the tremendous benefits of landscaped roofs for properties. Spain has cultivated a growing reputation in the field with Madrid building one of the largest ecological covers in the world atop the Banco Santander Financial City, which boasts 100,000 square metres of greenery.

Green roofs are proving to have a diverse variety of benefits. They provide thermal insulation in summer to prevent indoor temperatures rising too high, saving businesses thousands on air conditioning.

Heating costs are also dramatically reduced through an awning effect, while water bills are discounted by the efficient channelling of soaked up rainwater. Noise pollution is reduced as vegetation and landscaping absorbs sound waves while seating, furniture, orchards and picnic areas provide a welcome respite for those feeling suffocated by city life.

The Spanish Association of Green Covers (Aescuve) suggests that landscaping a roof professionally can be so beneficial as to revalue a property by up to 12 per cent.

Fixed-rates flourishing MORTGAGE dynamics in the Spanish property market have seen a recent increase in the number of people opting for a fixed-rate deal, traditionally shunned in favour of a variable-rate option.

The National Consumer Institute (INE) has published new figures which show that, in the months of 2016, those selecting fixed-rate mortgages represent 10.8 per cent of the total number taken out, with an average interest rate of 3.31 per cent.

Now property experts are suggesting that the figure could be as high as 20 per cent by the end of summer, as many families look towards the long-term stability offered by fixed-rates.

Interest rates are at their lowest ever levels and the Euribor looks set to see low figures for the remainder of the decade, both factors which would suggest variable-rate mortgages are the smarter financial option, in the middle term at least.

Should you elect to go with a fixed-rate mortgage there are a variety of bank options which have nominal interest rates hovering between 2-3 per cent.

It is important, however, to consider that you take into account other expenses than the nominal interest rate alone.

Some providers will charge an opening fee, while others have fees for early fulfilment, so shop around and be sure to consult a local property expert before you commit to anything.

Things to ask before taking the plunge

By Eleanor Hawkins A HOLIDAY home in the Spanish sun is a dream come true for many. In fact, according to a study by Re/Max Europe real estate franchise, Spain is the country with the fifth most holiday homes on the continent.

However, as tempting as it is to take the plunge the moment you set eyes on what could well be the second home of your dreams, there are five questions you should ask yourself before signing on the dotted line.

1. Will you love the location forever?

It’s a good idea to visit the area you’re intending to adopt as your second home during the quiet season, not just when it’s packed with tourists having fun in the sun. You need to know whether you’ll still love it when it’s cloudy, or the sea breeze is too strong to lay on the beach.

HOLIDAY HOMES: A dream come true for many.

2. How often will you be able to use it?

Work out how many times per year you’ll be able to go there. Think also of the travelling time and bear in mind your professional obligations to determine how often you really will be able to sneak away, and compare them to the cost of the home and its maintenance.

3. Have you talked to the neighbours?

Visit local bars and restaurants, wander the streets, nose about and get chatting to the neighbours and year-round residents to see what it’s like to live there.

4. How much will you be able to rent it for?

It’s important to think about

this as there will often be times when you won’t be able to use the holiday home and renting it out could help cover the maintenance costs.

5. What are the running costs?

Add up all the expenses that come with the property (community fees, taxes, etc) to avoid unexpected surprises later on.

Bulletproofing your new home investment Many expatriates acquire property chiefly as an investment.

By Matthew Elliott WHILE many expatriates purchase a home in Spain with a view to moving to the country for a variety of exciting personal reasons, whether it is love, work, or simply enjoying the fruits of a lifetime of hard work.

Many others acquire property chiefly as an investment.

If this sounds like you, then some of the fundamentals in buying a home should be given a higher emphasis.

One central question is whether there are hidden debts associated with the property that might make an unwelcome appearance in the guise of the taxman, years down the line.

Things like unpaid council taxes (IBI), and unaccounted for personal or inheritance taxes of the owner, can seriously affect your later ability to capitalise on your property investment.

If you have been closely following news on the Spanish property market

PROPERTY INVESTMENT: A full house survey is advisable.

you’ll also be aware of the incredible importance of ensuring that your new investment acquisition was built with proper planning permission.

This also includes anything constructed after the original build, such as swimming pools and extensions.

In this respect a full survey is highly advisable, preferably with a local expert you can trust to get the job done comprehensively and ensure that there are no unwelcome skeletons in the closet.

Be sure to consult with a property specialist too to guarantee that your investment is in tip top shape.

Classic buyer returns WITH all the statistics, percentages, and comparisons flying around it is easy to lose sight of the human side of the rebounding Spanish property market. One key development which is often overlooked, despite being a hugely positive indicator for the market as a whole, is the return of the traditional homebuyer.

This is a person, couple or family, typically younger than 40, who are taking the classic route of finding their feet on the property ladder, by taking out a mortgage plan and borrowing from the bank.

It is this group which has seen the most marked Turn to page 74

Housing market stability Second-hand ONE of Britain’s biggest building societies has reported that it is experiencing its highest mortgage-lending levels since the heady days before the recession of 2008.

Nationwide says that its market share is 13.7 per cent, with mortgages accounting for roughly €40 billion of all lending.

New lending now exceeds mortgages being repaid and the building society has announced that, with its yearly profits rising to more than €1.5 billion, it has increased the age until which mortgages can be repaid from 75 to 85.

The firm, the UK’s second biggest lender after Lloyds, took a 21 per cent share of the mortgage lending market last year but has warned shareholders that profits are likely to drop should competition increase.

On the plus side, Nationwide said that it expects UK economic growth and the housing market to stabilise

investments

NATIONWIDE: Expects housing market to stabilise and continue to strengthen. and continue to strengthen due to an improving labour market and housing undersupply.

Once the referendum is out of the way, property ex-

perts across the UK are anticipating that the market will shift back towards its typical trend rate of 2 to 2.5 per cent per year growth.

This year’s introduction

of stamp duty on buy to let homes has somewhat skewed the market, but is expected to become less of a factor in the ensuing months.

A REPORT from the wellregarded El Economista newspaper has suggested that prospective investors in Spanish property may be better served buying and renovating an older home than purchasing a brand new one.

The advice doesn’t stretch across the entire country but is applicable to most regions.

An average new-build home encapsulating an area of 90 square metres works out to a cost of €185,000, while a ‘second-hand’ property of the same size yet in need of refurbishment will see buyers pay around €140,000.

Evidently this leaves a sizeable sum available to pay for any required renovations or face-lifts, which typically cost an average of just €16,000, leaving savings of approximately €30,000, naturally with a little more inconvenience.

90 square metres of new-build home works out at a cost of €185,000.

Any inconveniences will, however, be mitigated by the fact that buyers can transform the property according to their own tastes and desires.

Also, particularly in Spain, many second-hand homes are typically located in the more desirable and central neighbourhoods of villages, towns and cities, while new builds tend to be further out in suburban or even rural territory.

The figures don’t apply in every region, however, and in Navarre, the Basque Country, Cantabria, and even Madrid, second-hand homes are actually more expensive than their newly constructed counterparts.

Those boomtown rats

By Matthew Elliott THE extreme nature of the housing boom in southern England has been laid bare by a startling new report from Halifax, the UK based mortgage lender. A shocking report indicates that Greater London has seen property prices per square metre rise by an astonishing 432 per cent over the course of the past 20 years.

At present the national average stands at £2,216 (€2,906), but there is a dramatic distinction that reinforces the traditional notion of a strong north-south divide. There are 17 areas in Greater London where the average price per square metre stands at more than £5,000 (€6,560), with Kensington and Chelsea continued to be the most expensive at an eye-watering £11,321 (€14,854).

A bird’s eye view WITH all the facts and figures flying around, often seemingly contradictory and playing to different sectors and interests, it’s a pleasing change in tact to see the property market summarised as succinctly as a snapshot from Spanish property valuation expert Tinsa.

There has been a substantial rise in the number of mortgages granted, with Tinsa’s data showing a 13.3 per cent year-on-year increase in the first quarter of 2016. The year’s first three months also saw a spectacular 39.2 per cent increase in the number of building licences granted.

Sales and supply are perhaps two of the most important factors and here the statistics also show good cause for optimism.

Home sales recorded a stellar 9.2 per cent rise in the first quarter.

Good news all round and suggestive that now is a great time to invest in Spain.

pensive towns are places like Solihull at £2,661 (€3,491) and Leamington Spa at £2,645 (€3,470).

There was no area which registered a lower average than £1,000 (€1,312), with the lowest found in Scotland’s Airdrie at £1,019 (€1,337).

2,216 pounds (€2,906) is the average price per square metre for a house in the UK. In fact the north/south divide has widened across the past two decades as prices in the south continue to rise almost exponentially.

Compared to the UK, the situation in Spain looks particularly good for those looking to invest in a second home, whether for themselves or to refurbish and sell, or simply let out to fellow expatriates.

LONDON: Property prices per square metre have risen by 432 per cent over 20 years.

Family buyers BUYERS: Are looking outside of the UK to invest.

TRADITIONAL BUYER: Has made a return to the Spanish property market.

From page 72 recovery in recent years, indeed seeing the highest growth in 2015.

The traditional buyer stands in stark contrast to the type of home purchaser who continued to flourish despite the recession. The two groups are not opposed but the re-emer-

gence of traditional buyers is more emblematic of the growing confidence and stability of the Spanish property market.

With banks more willing to loan and more families seeing their peers getting on the property ladder, the isolation of the young and working classes looks set to be reversed in the near future.

SPANISH and British property firms, agencies and charted surveyors are joining forces in a series of moves that underscores the growing confidence British experts have in the strengthening Spanish market.

Chelsea based Maskells Estate Agents now offers prime properties in Costa del Sol hotspots Benahavis and Marbella, as well as across Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands.

Meanwhile the renowned Cluttons agency has opened up its second Spanish office in Barcelona following the success of its first venture in Marbella.

Central to the moves is the recent change in UK tax laws, making it more expensive for UK investors to buy properties to let.

While criticised by many in Britain, the new stamp duty greatly benefits places like the Costa del Sol as buyers look outside of the UK for the most lucrative places to invest.

With even the most expensive parts of Marbella, one of Spain’s top luxury destinations, representing far greater value for money than modest parts of London, the Costa del Sol represents a great investment opportunity for individuals.

Final count HOLIDAY rentals will be under the spotlight in forthcoming weeks as authorities in Andalucia begin a three-week countdown to the registration deadline for homeowners who rent their properties out to tourists on official channels.

Meanwhile in Ibiza the government has identified more than 4,000 holiday homes being rented without a licence, with those responsible facing fines of up to €40,000 if found to be in breach of the law.

An unlikely alliance between environmentalists eager to protect the island’s pristine ecology, and the hotel industry furious at being cut out of the tourist action, has welcomed the news that the local authorities look set to finally penalise errant homeowners.

Smart property planning

By Matthew Elliott

PART of the beauty of Spain is that if you are planning to buy a new property, you have ample opportunity to sample different regions and styles of home by enjoying short stays at the huge variety of guesthouses scattered across the country.

With solid transport links across the country and to and from the UK, and a hugely significant decision ahead of you then, should you have the opportunity, you’d do well to take advantage of any time you’ve set aside for your property hunt. There is a real abundance of holiday homes available right across the Costa del Sol if you want to appreciate vibrant community life by the seaside.

Or head inland to places like Ronda and Coin for a more rustic flavour, and see how rural tranquillity suits you.

The more cosmopolitan minded might like to rent an apartment in Marbella or Malaga to see how city life suits.

If you’re active you can choose somewhere close to one of your favourite golf courses or hiking spots to test out the route, and see whether living there is all it’s cracked up to be.

Whatever you decide it’s a smart move to explore a possible new neighbourhood as best you can before taking the plunge, and fortunately you’ve plenty of scope here for doing just that.

DIFFERENT REGIONS: Explore a possible new neighbourhood before taking the plunge.

Coastal pricing conundrum

By Matthew Elliott IT is increasingly well understood that the Spanish property market has evolved into something of a two-tiered system, with the major cities and prime neighbourhoods seeing rapid growth while the interior hinterlands go at a slower pace, even seeing reversals.

What is also becoming apparent is that the strongly performing coastal areas are seeing their own two-tier phenomenon develop, with towns just a stone’s throw away from one another witnessing markedly different pricing dynamics.

In Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol for example, the first quarter of 2016 has seen house prices decrease by 5.6 per cent to an average of €1,399 per square metre, while in Marbella, just a short drive away, prices have risen by 5.5 per cent to an average of €1,864 per square metre.

Marbella is something of a special case, but the phenomenon is abundant across the coast. In Benidorm prices are down 5.4 per cent, as they rise 6.6 per cent in Torrevieja.

In Sitges, near Barcelona, prices have skyrocketed to €2,495, while further south in Castellon there are rows of abandoned homes.

New housing developments in the Balearic Islands are fetching record prices, even reaching a maximum of €17,000 in the ex-

SPANISH MARKET: Property prices have developed a two-tier system across coastal areas. clusive areas of Mallorca. A likely explanation for the distinctions is the underappreciated role of foreign buyers, who accounted for 13.4 per cent of purchases in the first

quarter of the year, with sales highly concentrated on the coast. With more purchasing power, foreigners have had the capacity to be far more selective in their approach, but with

new developments expanding across less densely populated coastal frontiers, it is likely that we will seeing more standardisation of prices in the near future.

Supporting a worthy cause I SAW an article in the latest edition (Almeria) about Nick Ainsworth of Zurgena raising money for a local child with Perthes disease. My own daughter suffered with this condition and is now a successful lawyer who also does rock climbing, skiing, kayaking etc.

I would like to contact someone involved to give support and encouragement, knowing the process and the results that can be achieved.

Is it possible to either provide contact details for the charity or pass on my email to someone involved so they can contact me?

Many hands make light work

Sadistic sport WE live in central Andalucia in a small, typically Spanish village, where hunting is the winter ‘sport.’

We have three Spanish rescue dogs and one is an Orito Podenco Español who was roaming the village two years ago with a length of rope tied tightly around his neck.

Our vet said she thought that he had been hung and we believe that, as he was a young dog (six months no more) he got the rope between his sharp juvenile teeth and severed it and escaped. He now lives a contented life as a member of our 'family'. Some Spanish believe that a quick death by the gun is a waste of a bullet.

I WAS moved by your article prompted by a 91year-old pensioner living on the Costa del Sol. When my wife and I retired to Spain in 1996 we wished to live in peace and tranquillity. The Second World War was a traumatic experience for us, and, although neither of us was old enough to engage in the hostilities, we saw first-hand the tragedy of war, its effect on families and everyday life. Europe since then has started to work together with the EU encompassing more nations and play-

ing a major role in bringing European countries together in peaceful trading and security. Germany divided is now one nation and many other nations labouring under the yoke of communism have cast it aside and joined the EU. The newer members of the EU need the help and experience from the more developed ones.

What price peace and security? Let us all bury our differences and join together to build a Europe of which we can be proud.

Robert Peake, Mijas

Dogs suffer TERRIBLE, we have a ‘neighbour’ here in Benissa, Alicante with six hunting dogs chained-up and incarcerated in a small 2 x 2m tin roofed hole... the temperatures in the summer go more than 50 degrees, the dogs suffer terribly, cry and bark day and night and live in the sheer hell of their own ‘mess’...

My wife and Mother-in-law are traumatised by this cruelty, complained to the town hall and after eight months they replied saying what did we expect living in the countryside... Have taken photos of these dogs and their suffering but not sure what to do with them as nobody here seems to want to know!

Toni

Air affair GREAT to know that the blue flag is back in Alicante Province but are you sure that the air people breathe is good? Do you know that people still burn their green waste in this province? Some days the fumes are even blocked under a cloud of mist all over Albir!

Every morning people are allowed to burn until 11am (with a permit) but too often they just let the fire burn and die out which might take another hour or two!

The problem gets even worse when they not only burn green waste but add plastic, polystyrene etc. The beautiful orange groves are

some days inundated by particle pollution.

There are regulations that date from 1997 and it’s high time that they update them and adapt them with the rules dictated by the Spanish Government as well as the European Union.

Thank you for passing on the message so people will choose to go to beaches where the air and water are healthy!

Swing voters MY other half and I were deliberating on whether to write in, but de-

cided it might be of interest to some of your readers to know that we have each arranged a proxy vote in the UK for the upcoming EU referendum.

Now here’s the rub, neither of us can make up our minds and, since we are both of shall we say an advanced age, have decided to ask our friends, families, and the greater public for advice on how they think we should vote before instructing our proxies.

To be frank we don’t think it’ll make much difference either way but feel slightly guilty because we do have a vote, unlike many expats, and think it should be used properly.

We know that, barring some miracle, the result will not really affect us in any way. We’re comfortable and secure in Spain, and have no dependents who will suffer/enjoy the consequences of our decision.

We’d be especially interested in hearing from anybody who can’t vote but has a real stake in the outcome, perhaps due to children in the UK or Spain, and a very strong opinion!

Marbella madness I FIND it astonishing that the Coastal Authority can just suddenly ‘find out’ that the land on which the chiringuitos stand is their property.

A further fine example of the incompetence of Spanish bureaucrats and then of the high-handed way in which they deal with a problem they created themselves... I suppose noone will lose their job for this infringement oversight?

But the chiringuito staff will presumably lose theirs and the owners will have to cough up compensation for the staff in the usual draconian way.

Health & safety Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’VE been away for a few days and have been staying in hotels and have had a couple of health and safety issues. I had just finished a meal in the hotel restaurant and asked for a toothpick. The young lady went off then came back and told me they didn’t have any. “Why?” This is my standard reply when people say no to me. You ready for this - ‘health and safety.’ “What? Are you nuts? How on earth can a tooth pick be more dangerous than the steak knife you just gave me to eat the lousy overpriced tough burger you just served me and which I am having difficulty removing from my teeth?” As usual the person I was talking to was just staring at me blankly.

I knew I was going to get no reason from her so I asked to see the manager. As my Polish is worse than my Spanish, I’m in the UK by the way not Poland, I was just told it was a head office decision along with removing all beer mugs with handles!!

To be honest I gave up pretty quickly for me and wandered back to my room in

search of a business card to try and bend it into a shape that would do the trick which it did but not before getting some cardboard stuck in between my teeth!

The second incident is a blinder. I’m in my room, just had a shower and go to walk out of the bathroom. I open the door and as it opens it springs back, because there are two bathrobes hanging behind the door, and I stub my little toe. I am now rolling on the bed in agony calling the bathroom door every name possible. I look down and see it’s obviously broken as it’s kind of hanging there at a dodgy angle.

I get dressed and manage to hobble down to reception as I need to strap it to the little piggy next to it. They open the first aid kit and I find a couple of plasters that will do the job. I then ask if they have any paracetamol to help with the pain. “Oh no sir we are not allowed to give out tablets health and safety.” I said, “I just want a painkiller. I’ll sign a disclaimer.” Not a chance. Then I thought health and safety.

They want health and safety, they can have it. I asked to see the manager and told him that he needed to see what had caused my broken toe. He said he will report it to the general manager and we will see what happens. Of course I will let you know. Because you know I’m not letting this go!

OPINION & COMMENT

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Some potential road hazards AS part of the series, we answer some common driving questions and keep you updated on the latest driving and road news kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

CYCLISTS: Are perhaps the most vulnerable of road users.

EVERY time we get behind the wheel of a car our fate lies somewhat in the hands of others and there are potential hazards at every turn. So what hazards can drivers meet and how can you best avoid the risk?

Pedestrian crossings When approaching a pedestrian crossing look both ways to see if anyone is waiting to cross and slow right down. Drivers must give way to allow them to cross and be on the look out for anything that might be blocking a clear view of the crossing.

Children Look out for children and young road users as often they have no real awareness of the dangers of the roads and could cross without taking precautions. Look for tell-tale

signs of being near parks, schools and gardens. Young people can also be distracted with their head phones on or being on a mobile phone.

Elderly and disabled The elderly can take longer crossing roads along with those with assisted mobility so drivers need to be more patient and aware of their vulnerability.

Cyclists Cyclists are perhaps the most vulnerable groups of road users. When you go to overtake make sure you leave a minimum 1.5m gap between your vehicle and cyclist and make sure you can safely overtake. Look out for potential hazards to the cyclist that may cause them to deviate from the bike’s course.

Items on the Agenda?

AN owner took our Community and President to court for not allowing certain items to be put on the AGM agenda for discussion.

The Spanish court has now ruled that the President has the obligation to include in the Agenda all items proposed by any owner, but also has the right to reject those items that are not important or relevant to the community.

The Horizontal Law, Article 16.2, says the President shall include on the Agenda items that any owner requests but it does not state that the President has the right to refuse items being put on the Agenda.

THE recent inquest into the Hillsborough tragedy and its verdict of unlawful killing again raises questions about police conduct.

Now, it’s easy enough to live in a monastery and remain squeaky-clean.

It’s hard to remain decent and above the daily grind when ‘keeping in’ with the right people in the underworld is necessary to obtain information. They and the police are two sides of the same coin and have a symbiotic relationship.

And compared to what passes for a police service in some parts of the developing world, the UK police look like paragons of honesty, integrity and trust.

However, in the view of many, they are failing. And who knows whether it’s the police themselves, the judicial system, successive Home Secretaries or a combination of all three, but there is undeniably an urgent need for a shake up.

As a writer of crime novels (all profits to Cudeca, the Costa del Sol cancer

TRUST: Needs to be rebuilt in the police since they can’t function without it. charity), I admit I’m attracted by crime and all it entails. From lurid descriptions of crime scenes to the gruesome details of post mortems. And given the opportunity to talk to criminals, I’d jump at it for the first-hand information they’d provide. But that’s as far as it’d go. Not so with some police officers, apparently.

The charge sheet gets ever longer, doesn’t it? In addition to Hillsborough (the issue here isn’t that a police force wanted to cover up: it was that it was POSSIBLE to cover up), there’s Org-

reave (police brutality), Ian Tomlinson, Plebgate, Stephen Lawrence, Rotherham (child-grooming), Lords Brittan and Bramall (false allegations), to name just a few scandals.

Because of the toxic combination of poor leadership and lack of public trust, what’s needed, at minimum, is a massive clear out at the top and searching questions asked. Is dividing the police into 43 forces compatible with the right command structure and cultural change? How genuine is local accountability? Are police and crime commis-

sioners worthwhile? Are sick-leave and early retirement arrangements too generous?

This isn’t about fairness or efficiency but about rebuilding the public’s trust since, without it, the police can’t function.

A threat of a new right John Smith Random thoughts...

IN fairness to British politicians generally, no matter on which side of the political spectrum or even if they appear to be totally incompetent, there has been very little possibility of a far right or indeed far left government coming to power in 150 years or more.

The same cannot be said for the rest of Europe and it appears that Austria has escaped from having the first extreme right wing President, thanks in part to postal votes which were received from 12 per cent of that country’s tiny voting population of just 6.4 million.

The early 20th century saw the rise of communism which was matched by fascism by the time of the Second World War and despite the result of the war, which saw large areas of Eastern Europe turn ‘red,’ Spain stayed defiantly rightist, Greece vacillated from Civil War to the right wing military junta and Portugal went left.

OUR VIEW

TIME WILL TELL: Syrian ‘refugees’ in Turkey.

Many countries within the EU are agreeable to taking in these migrants/ refugees.

As the end of the 20th century approached so we saw a breakdown of communist rule and a general move towards what is generally described as Democracy. Now however the terrible events in the Middle East and Northern Africa have seen an influx of ‘foreign’ Muslims who have no concept

ALTHOUGH we are proud of what we achieve with the production of six weekly English language newspapers, we don’t normally ‘blow our own trumpets’ excessively but what we and our staff achieved last week with our massive 232 page Costa del Sol edition does deserve repeating.

As far as we know, this is a record size for a free English language newspaper, not just in Spain but across Europe and we have to congratulate everyone involved.

First and foremost we have to thank our advertisers for supporting the Costa del Sol Success supplement that consisted of 104 pages which included a whole range of stories which had to be written by our team of writers in addition to their normal work.

Equally to be thanked are you the reader for risking a hernia in picking up such a large newspaper but we sincerely hope you found it enjoyable.

Our printers had to tackle the largest edition they had seen from us in all of our years of working with them and the distributors had to ensure they delivered this bumper newspaper to all of their usual collection points.

Last but not least, we need to thank all of the salespeople, writers, proof readers, designers and support staff who spent some very long hours preparing the newspaper for publication.

Many countries within the EU are agreeable to taking in these migrants/refugees but their electorate is understandably not so happy and we have seen some of the problems that can arise when two completely alien cultures clash, with Germany perhaps being one of the best examples of how good intentions can have dreadful consequences.

Without doubt there will be a growth in negative response to the ever-increasing number of new ‘citizens’ entering the Union as well as the somewhat ill-timed possibility of allowing Turkish passport holders into Europe without visas.

Luxu Parking for a luxury service

LUXU PARKING is the exciting new and dedicated venture of German national, Marlon, and Dutchman, Niek, who have both been living on the Costa del Sol for the last 18 years.

Within a few short months, their company has already earned an excellent reputation for an outstanding and terrific car parking and valeting service.

Located in Camino las Huertecillas in Malaga airport, Luxu Parking is one of the leading airport parking providers; amongst other fantastic features, their service includes a guarantee for absolute punctuality.

“We are already at the terminal 20 minutes before the scheduled appointment. And upon arrival, we closely track all flight times and are already waiting at the agreed location once the flight has landed,” explains the 27-year-old Marlon.

Previously, Marlon had worked for nine years at other park and airport services in Malaga, and him and his partner Niek, who has extensive work experience as an auto mechanic and painter, quickly realised that together they could build a company and service that is more customer friendly, effective and professional, under their own direction. Almost immediately, they had the idea to create a luxury parking service at Malaga airport.

Now Luxu Parking is proud to boast that they have a 100 per cent customer satisfac-

tion guarantee, with a service that is not only practical and efficient, but also luxurious, convenient, customer friendly and professional.

Luxu Parking offer a free full valet service for every customer’s stay, as well as the opportunity to conduct mechanical repairs and vehicle improvements on request, such as cleaning, car vacuuming, paintwork and a full correction detail and polish service.

In addition, a professional window-tinting service can also be requested.

Furthermore, despite the luxury service that Luxu Parking provides, they are very competitively priced and aim to ensure that fees are fair and affordable.

Annual parking packs begin at €499 per year: outdoor parking starts at €3.50 per day and indoor parking from €5.00 per day.

Of course, their secure alarmed parking facilities and exceptional service are in line with their punctual, luxurious and customer-orientated ethos.

Raking it in from seabed

Maxi Priest films a video

Violent attacker jailed

SPANISH fishermen have returned to Gibraltar waters according to the Ornithological and Natural History Society and are raking the seabed with no apparent response from the Royal Gibraltar Police or Department of the Environment. The Society objects to this type of fishing as it takes no notice of what is being caught and does considerable harm to the seabed.

WELL-KNOWN Reggae star Maxi Priest has returned to Gibraltar to film a video for one of his new songs which was apparently inspired by his mother and her reference for the need to be strong like the Rock of Gibraltar. In addition to recording the video, he will also be celebrating his 55th birthday by performing at St Michael’s Cave on June 10.

AFTER breaking into a storeroom with a young woman in 2014, 27-year-old Karim Rudge started drinking heavily and started to argue with her. The argument became violent and he then head-butted, kicked and punched her leaving her bloodied.

Upon appearing in court, he was sentenced to four months imprisonment.

Delegation visits Brussels

GIBRALTAR DELEGATION: Held various meetings in Brussels.

FOLLOWING a formal v o t e f r o m F I FA t o a l low Gibraltar to join the World Federation, possibly in time to participate in the next qualifying rounds, it was also announced that the European Fede r a t i o n U E FA h a s agreed to pay 100 per cent of the cost of building a new, smaller than anticipated 4,000 to 5,000 seater stadium at Lathbury Barracks but they will not pay anything towards upgrading Victoria Stadium.

It has been a week of good news for Gibraltar football and also fans who in due course will be saved the cost of travelling to Faro to w a t c h t h e i r t e a m ’s home games.

Gibraltar Youth Service IN an effort to raise funds in support of Mental Health Day, the Youth Service collaborated with Clubhouse Gibraltar for the second year running.

The event was a great success with two cake stalls and the Youth Service DJs providing a day of entertainment.

In addition to the day event, the Youth Centre also participated in a ‘Big Sleep Out’ event inspired by UK charities ‘Shelter’ and ‘Framework.’ A group of young people and workers were sponsored by friends

A GIBRALTAR delegation consisting of the Chief Minister, the Hon Fabian Picardo and Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Joseph Garcia, left Gibraltar on Monday, May 23 for a two-day visit to Brussels, where they were to hold various meetings with Members of the European Parliament and senior officials at the European Commission.

Although this visit comes at a crucial time with Britain’s EU Referendum only a month away, it was unfortunate it coincided with a major protest in the streets of Brussels on May 24, which left a number of people injured with several arrests.

The President of the European Commission, Mr Jean-Claude Juncker sent his best wishes to the Chief Minister for a successful trip to Brussels. Dr Garcia, who is the Minister for Europe, travelled to Brussels via London, as he was to address a distinguished audience at the National Liberal Club on the Monday evening.

The Witch Directed by: Robert Eggers Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie IN a genre that too often relies on tired cliches, Robert Eggers’ stunning debut is one of the most disquieting horror movies in years, basing its frights on mindsets rather than monsters. Playing out like a campfire folktale, the plot follows a family in 17th-century New England who are excommunicated from a Puritan community. After setting up an isolated home near a foreboding forest, their youngest child goes missing. Fear and paranoia start to tear the family apart amid accusations of satanism, and they must discover where the true threat is coming from.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Something has come to your attention and, quite frankly, you don’t understand what is going on. It is possible that, if you don’t react, the situation will just go away. Equally, you may want to influence the outcome and fear that it will not be to your advantage.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You seem to be in a ‘plodding’ situation that is starting to cause you some irritation. That is all that it is though, irritation. See it as a big dilemma and it throws up all sorts of anxieties. Let’s not go there.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) You are being shown a great deal of affection which may be taken for granted. Even you are capable of putting people’s backs up. As you dislike making enemies, I suggest that you take a little more time with family and loved ones.

GEMINI

(May 22 - June 21)

It’s not so difficult this week to get exactly what you want. Being sure is another matter, however, there are plenty of people who will cast doubts on where you are going and what you are aiming for. What do they know?

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) By deciding now that you will not rise to the bait on a certain matter you are taking the best option. Much as you would like to confront someone head on, it is possible that this is just what they want you to do. Be a little bit canny here.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Are you being asked to open your heart? What are you most afraid of about that? On the other hand, what would the rewards be if you did?

Sometimes, we have to take a chance that others will not let us down or, at least that if they do, they will let us down gently.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) As you try to control someone else’s life, it could be that your own is slipping past you. Have you recently given up on a relationship or job that you dearly would have loved?

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Are you still in a very positive frame of mind? Okay, then. It is time to decide what is to be done about that problem. If you really can’t see a way round this then seek help. Even if you don’t agree with the reply, you will feel that you have made a step in the right direction.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Don’t ask a question unless you want to be told the truth this weekend. Go on, you’re a big person and you can take it.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Sometimes you wonder why people make promises when they find them so hard to keep. However, losing your temper with someone midweek will not help at all because the person you are dealing with is not very sensitive.

Patience will pay off and, by the weekend, a weight will have been lifted from your mind.

By Emma John IN 1993, while everyone else was learning Oasis lyrics or crushing on Kate Moss and Keanu, 14-yearold Emma John was obsessing over the England cricket team.

The primary object of her affection: Michael Atherton, a boyishly handsome captain who promised to lead his young troops to glory.

What followed was one of the worst sporting streaks of all time, a decade of frustration, dismay and bungling that made the team a byword for British failure.

Now a sports journalist, John is a sufficiently selfaware narrator to portray the world of cricket in an engaging and accessible fashion, so even if you haven’t got a clue what a leading edge or featherbed is, the charming and, at times, hilarious story will keep you entertained. books@euroweeklynews.com

Simple spelling, grammatical or punctuation mistakes can, in some cases, end up costing far more than just the ink used to print them. Here are our favourites: 1. Pasta for cannibals The Pasta Bible, a cookbook published by Penguin Books in Australia, rather upset its more sensitive readers by suggesting they add a generous seasoning of ‘freshly ground black people’ to a tagliatelle and sardines dish (they meant pepper.)

2. If you insist Another type of bible, the official one, isn’t immune to whoopsies either. The most famous of these was in the ‘Wicked Bible’ of 1631, when a rather important ‘not’ was missed out, thus telling the faithful ‘thou shalt commit adultery.’

3. Google grief For an hour early on January 31, 2009, internet users all over the world were sent into blind panic as almost all Google searches returned error messages warning that sites could harm their computers. The cause of this online chaos was a typing error, as someone at Google had mistakenly entered the backslash symbol as a malicious website, meaning any website with the symbol in their address (almost all of them have at least one) were automatically marked as malicious.

4. Million dollar comma A seemingly innocent, tiny punctuation mark, the comma, caused a dispute between Canadian communications giants Rogers and Bell Aliant which ended up costing about a million Canadian dollars.

Placement of a comma on a contract between the two saw complicated legal battles, which were eventually solved by relying on the French version of the same contract.

Although it was not the case, the company’s customers panicked, cancelled orders, declared contracts void and in the end it was forced to close after failing to recover from the blow. It later turned out that the company that had really closed was Taylor & Son, without the S. 6. Two million dollar comma The US Tariff Act of 1872 should have removed tariffs from ‘fruit-plants, tropical and semi-tropical’ but a copy clerk swapped the hyphen for a comma and quick-witted importers used this as a reason not to pay taxes on any fruit imports.

Although they were forced to pay, the US Treasury was eventually ordered to pay them back about two million dollars.

7. What’s in a name?

In 2008, the Chilean mint released thousands of 50-peso coins reading ‘Chiie’ instead of ‘Chile.’ Amazingly, it took until late 2009 for anyone to formally report and, although the government decided not to take the coins out of circulation it did fire the manager of the mint and several other employees.

8. Yet another comma Just in case anyone still doesn’t believe

how important commas are, there is a third example: in the 1990s, aerospace company Lockheed Martin signed a deal to produce a military transport plane for an unnamed foreign air force.

The contract included a formula to calculate the increase in price based on inflation, which is where the problems started. A misplaced comma led to vastly underpriced planes being sold at an estimated loss of $70 million.

Shortest reign Twenty-six-year-old Denise Garrido became the shortest-reigning, and most disappointed, Miss Universe Canada when she was stripped of her crown 24 hours after she was given it in 2013 when independent auditors found that an inexperienced worker had misunderstood the judges’ handwriting.

The missing hyphen NASA may be good at finding things in space, but a hyphen missing from coding used to set the trajectory and speed of the Mariner 1, America’s first interplanetary probe caused it to explode minutes after take off in 1962.

Multimedica Steiner Marbella is 10 EVERYONE is talking about chiropractics, yet many people don’t have a clear idea of what it is.

A chiropractor is a doctor of medicine who specialises in different safe manipulation techniques with surprising effects which are now being discovered by more and more people who find the treatments beneficial.

Doctor Carsten Rudolf Steiner, from Multimedica Steiner Marbella, studied in the UK and US and has more than 20 years experience in the field. This year he is celebrating the 10th annivers ar y o f h i s c l i n i c in M arb ella with all his patients.

Chiropractics, Dr Steiner explains, is a simple alternative which can help free us of pain without relying on medicines or drugs which do nothing other than tricking our illnesses.

“Chiropractics allow us to find spinal obstructions which irritate the nervous system. When the

OBSTRUCTION: Chiropractic treatment helping return the body’s normal flow. nervous system works correctly, the body takes charge of doing the rest and corrects its health,” he said.

D id y o u k n o w you c a n fe e l back pain if your kidneys aren’t working properly?

Did you know a mouth infection can cause serious back problems?

Chiropractors believe that the nervous system controls all bodi-

ly functions and works to remove anything that obstructs its normal flow.

There are other things that can contribute to these obstructions, known as the three T’s: 1. Toxins 2. Traumas 3. Emotional Tension If we ignore what our bodies are trying to tell us with signs such as a bit of a headache, neck ache or other pain, we begin a degenerat i ve pr ocess whi ch, i f deal t with immediately, can result in a r et ur n t o an optimal quality of life.

No pain, no gain!

The concept is that we must learn that sometimes we have to feel pain to experience the pleasure of wellness and good health.

Dr Steiner is of the opinion that the sooner health problems are dealt with, the easier they will be to correct and the less pain we will suffer. Prevention is t he key t o t he f ut ur e of our health.

We’re all taught to follow a balanced diet, the importance of exercise, not to smoke, but there is still little awareness of the importance of regular visits to a chiropractor, which is, Dr Steiner stresses, the best investment for a pain free life.

His profession, the doctor says, is his passion and also the best gift for health. Therefore, to celebrate the clinic’s anniversary, he is offering free check-ups on the last Thursday of the month every month this year except July and August for patients who request one.

Transplanting Is technology adversely the gift of life affecting test results?

CORDOBA’S Reina Sofia University Hospital has conducted the first liver transplant in Spain using a living adult

donor to transplant to a child patient.

Baby Emma was just ninemonths-old when she received the transplant from her maternal aunt, aged 35, through keyhole surgery.

Emma suffered from a rare congenital disease that causes the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder to be obstructed. She was made stable until surgery was carried out in March with both baby and aunt reported to be doing well.

In Spain, few centres use laparoscopic techniques for liver surgery interventions and Reina Sofia Hospital is one of them. Professionals in this field began in 2013 and now keyhole liver surgery represents approximately 30 per cent of conventional liver operations.

In the Andalucia region, 277 transplants were carried out in the first quarter of the year, compared to 269 from January to April last year.

TECHNOLOGY: Children love it but for some it may be detrimental to their education.

LAPTOPS and tablets are becoming ever more present in the classroom with many praising their ability to assist youngsters and prepare them for a technologically growing world. But are they affecting a child’s test scores?

A study conducted at the United States Military Acade-

my found that students who were allowed to use laptops or tablets in class performed worse than those who went without. The researchers said those with an initially higher grade point average were most heavily affected with the devices appearing to ‘dumb them down.’

Students who were allowed unrestricted use of their electronic devices saw their scores drop by 1.7 points on average on the 100 point marking scale. The negative effects were seen most heavily in male students, and those who came into the class with higher grades.

Reader’s response

iPain, can mobile technology impact on breathing?

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte.

THIS week Dr Perez Belmonte wishes to respond to a letter received from a reader in response to a recent column: Dear Dr, Just read a letter from a 60-year-old.

Having being quite sick over the last 15 years with all the respiratory conditions known to man, I overcame it with ‘Salt therapy’.

My heart goes out to anybody with a respiratory condition, because for the last 20 years the same dose of antibiotics are put forward as the solution.

I have spoken to many surgeons and they all agreed with me, however they cannot endorse it because it does not come under any medical solution.

I think salt therapy, otherwise known as ‘halotherapy’ in eastern European countries, is the ONLY solution for this illness.

Basically, it’s a matter of breathing in the salt vapour for an hour each day to clear the lungs of the mucus that is catching, thus the coughing.

I will leave it with you.

The doctor replied: Halotherapy or therapy based on the properties of salt is a form of alternative treatment with limited scientific and methodological evidence. However, it is being used quite successfully in many countries.

It has mainly been used to treat patients with respiratory conditions and has had mixed results.

In my case, as a scientist (Specialist in Internal Medicine and Research) I must exercise caution in suggesting a therapy with limited recommendations, but if a patient is already being treated and is having clearly beneficial results with no adverse side effects, I will not be the one to refuse it outright.

What is really needed is an exhaustive study on a large number of patients undergoing this type of therapy, as analysis of this data would provide us with valuable information.

If you have any questions for Dr Perez Belmonte, please send them to: jefemedico@helicopterossanitarios.com The Coast’s Home GP service - wherever you are - at home - in the office - in the car - on the golf course your GP will get to see you any time, anywhere.

A priceless service at an affordable price.

I’VE spoken before about iPain – how the use of technology, and the positions we use it in, can have an effect on our health.

The neck pain caused as we hunch over smaller and smaller screens for longer and longer can cause headaches, migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome and other issues.

Is your mobile stopping you breathing properly?

Recent studies have shown that smartphone users tend to report more pain in their necks, shoulders and thumbs, most likely related to the neck forward, rounded shoulder, hunch that we all tend to adopt to use them.

But can this cause dysfunctional breathing?

A recent study looked at the correlation

Healthier brains FEEL like you’re juggling too much and got too much to do? Well rather than feeling stressed it could actually be good for you. Scientists say their research shows that the busier people are, the sharper their minds and the better their memories.

Scientists at the University of Texas, Dallas, said that packing more into the day increases the opportunity to learn new things, stimulating a nd c ha lle nging the brain making it ultimately healthier.

They carried out a study on 330 he a lthy me n a nd w ome n in the ir 50s , 60s , 70s and 80s. They were a s ke d a bout the ir da ily schedules and then had to carry out a number of mental tests. The results showed that those who had busier days were able to process information more quickly and had a superior memory, irrespective of their age and previous education.

TECH PAIN: Unhealthy hunching. between neck pain and breathing: 83 per cent of patients with neck pain had breathing issues. Of those patients, the worse affected were using smartphones for 4 hours a day.

Why is neck pain affecting breathing?

If your chin is forward and down your windpipe isn’t running in its ideal, straight pattern. It’s like trying to suck through a squished straw, you don’t get much drink.

If your shoulders are rounded and

hunched you are literally squashing your lungs, giving them less room to expand and take a full breath.

If you aren’t standing properly you aren’t using your core muscles correctly so your diaphragm can’t expand to let you take a full breath or exhale completely.

What to do?

• Sit with your elbows and lower back supported (backless bar stools are not your friend!) and the screen lifted to eye height.

• Instead of tipping your head forward to get closer to the screen, keep your spine straight with your head back and bend at the waist, this gives you a nice low back stretch at the same time.

• If you do work at a desk invest the time and money to set your chair up properly.

• Take regular breaks.

ON Saturday June 11, there will be a six kilometre walk or 10 kilometre run starting at the El Oceano Hotel in La Cala de Mijas to raised funds for Positively Pink and Positively Blue cancer charities.

Registration commences at 9am and all participants will be asked to donate €10 towards the fund which pays for breast and prostate screening here in southern Spain.

In addition, sponsorship forms are available in advance from the charities which need to keep raising funds to ensure that people continue to be checked for these life threatening diseases.

Music in the sunshine

By Matt Ford HUNDREDS of happy revellers took to the streets of Coin to enjoy a feast of free live music on a sweltering Saturday May 21, as the town’s annual ‘Coincierto’ event took place.

A total of five music stages were set up in plazas around the village centre, with a convivial atmosphere prevalent from the outset, as reggae sound system Wadada Sound provided a perfect midday soundtrack to a scenario of sunshine and cold beer on the Friendship Stage.

By the time local heroes and headliners Malaka Youth appeared a few hours later, a full-blown party had broken out, with an ever-growing throng of groovers and skankers stuffing Plaza Jose Bermudez de la Rubia to bulging point.

Meanwhile, a heady mixture of flamenco and fusion was enthralling the Roots Stage, while contrasting hip-hop flavours were the order of the day over on the

Post-lunch the biggest crowds were to be found in Plaza Alameda, where an artisanal market complemented the alternative and rock sounds emanating from the Village Stage, as Marbella-based purveyors of ska and seedy garage Briatore brought events to an uproarious conclusion in anticipation of the evening concert featuring reggae legends The Skatalites, among others.

The event was particularly enjoyable for its lively but never-threatening ambience, with no problems noted despite the ubiquitous drinking on display, as families with children rubbed shoulders with other music fans of all ages throughout the day.

There was also an excellent childrens’ zone with a bargain entry price of €1, where youngsters were able to get their faces painted and bounce around on various inflatables, allowing parents to receive a welcome break.

Villa Tiberio to host Charity Ball for Children with Cancer UK

By John Smith MAKE a note in your diary that on Sunday June 12 the spectacular Villa Tiberio in Marbella will host a starstudded event to raise money for Children with Cancer UK which is affiliated to Great Ormond Street hospital.

Tickets cost €75 with a guaranteed donation of €25 to CWC and you can help to add to the £273,500 (€355,000) already raised through these elegant Summer Balls over the last eight years, whilst everyone hopes that this year will beat the €29,000 raised in 2015.

The legendary Sandro Morelli, owner of the elegant Marbella venue, has supported the Children with Cancer UK charity for many years, and this will be the ninth year that Villa Tiberio will be the fantastic backdrop for the event.

Italian-born Sandro came to Marbella from London, bringing with him a wealth of experience from working at the Ritz and Cavendish Hotels, so he is undoubtedly a number one choice for

EVER HOSPITABLE: Sandro Morelli of Villa Tiberio. knowing how to attract a following.

Villa Tiberio is his life and soul, and the walls of the restaurant are decorated with an array of celebrities who have enjoyed Sandro’s hospitality over the years. Sandro cares about the less fortunate, as he says: “The world has forgotten what is important. How can we spend millions on warheads when there are millions of children dying around the world?”

Children with Cancer UK was founded in 1988 by Diana, Princess of Wales, in memory of Jean and Paul O’Gorman and this charity has touched the hearts of many further afield than just the UK. Although the emphasis will be on fundraising for the charity and apart from a superb meal there will be some first class entertainment from a trio of well-known singers some of whom are

returning to appear at this year’s ball and the entertainment will be introduced by multi-award-winning Scottish comedienne, playwright, awardwinning blogger, best-selling author and former Scotsman newspaper columnist, Janey Godley.

After an absence of four years, Lauren Samuels returns for the fourth time to Villa Tiberio. Lauren came to prominence as a runner up on the BBC television series ‘Over the Rainbow’ and has gone on to become one of the West End’s leading ladies, starring in shows such as ‘Grease,’ ‘We Will Rock You’ and most recently in her award nominated role as Jules in ‘Bend it Like Beckham - the Musical.’

She returns to Marbella having just finished the critically acclaimed new musical ‘The Beggar’s Opera.’

Charlotte Jaconelli shot to fame on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ as half of Jonathan and Charlotte, the duo that brought the judges and nation to their feet - and proved Simon Cowell wrong. She won a £1 million (€1,311,922) recording contract, sold

over half a million albums, received two gold discs and a solo album deal.

Charlotte makes her debut in Spain and is delighted to be supporting Children with Cancer at their Summer Ball.

Rounding off this talented trio of delightful singers is Claire Huckle, who starred in her alter-ego role as an actress in Without Motive, A Respectable Trade and Casualty. She not only has a spectacular showcase of television productions behind her, but she is an excellent performer and highly accredited in her field, so this her second appearance at the ball, promises to be as electrifying as her debut last year.

Adding to the fun of the evening there will be appearances from local personalities including Steve Cline who will conduct the auction, Zoe Hughes, Helena Paul, Frank Valentine, Mel Williams and Rachelle.

Poem about the wonder that is Noche en Blanco

By John Smith THE following poem has been kindly sent by one of our readers Alan S Jones Starry Night The night is bathed in starlight as the revellers appear, As from coaches and on eager foot the crowds assemble here, To greet a night of ghostly white in the city of the south, Home of Picasso and Banderas as told by word of mouth.

The streets are thronged with people of all colour, creed and hue, They come to see the spectacle and strive to get a view, Of dancers, street musicians, entertainers for the show, As a silver moon lights up the scene and people come and go.

They quaff the local culture, the museums and the art; They sit in busy restaurants and order a la carte, And when they finish dining they emerge and seek out more, And when they

A summer living garden plan Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner

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

WAY before having our own property in Spain parts of many summers were spent in friends’ properties in La Carihuela and Montemar south of Torremolinos going back to before the Benalmadena port was even started.

Temperatures soared into the upper 40s, but features of old villa gardens that made it bearable still stick in the mind and influenced the development

of our own garden.

• Shade is a must. The best is under spreading old trees with a thick canopy of overlapping leaves. The second best is a covered terrace stretching out from the house. Next is a gazebo covered with a thick growth of climbers and lastly some umbrellas and sails.

• If you don’t acclimatise in the early years in Spain by taking siestas in a hammock or on a sun bed in deep shade rather than indoors with the air conditioning set below 25 degrees centigrade one will never enjoy the realities of Spanish summers.

• Plant with drought-resistant plants

that put down deep roots which within a few years can be weaned off constant watering. That is why bougainvilleas, lantanas, hibiscus, aeoniums, false acacias, chorisias, palms, cordylines and yuccas were so popular. The plant lists in our books ‘Your garden in Spain’ and ‘How to use less water in your garden’ include Botanical Spanish and English names and indicate the drought resistance of some 400 plants.

By the way, if you want to grow vegetables through the summer give them shade. Even tomatoes don’t need to be in full sun to ripen.

Once the sun becomes low al fresco

dinners are a great thing in Spain with rather less flying insects to put up with compared with on a balmy evening in the UK. Like most we started by barbecuing but became bored with the smoky taste and found more pleasure in cooking in tagines purchased from Marrakesh, a Mexican oven, a paella pan and gas ring, and the best of all slow cooking with a solar cooker.

Kits for various sizes are available from www.alsol.es.

Thinking about summer insects do spray if you have to with ecological products, now widely available and

safer for people, pets and nature than most chemical sprays and powders.

We remain amazed at the number of chemical insecticides and fungicides in garden centres and many agricultural cooperatives, when most problems can be solved by not co-planting drought resistant and thirsty plants, not overwatering and feeding, using neem oil, garlic or ecological soap sprays as insecticides and natural sulphur powder, not copper sulphate, and propolis as fungicides. (c) Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com May 2016

Prickly customers THE hot climate of Mediterranean Spain provides an ideal environment to grow cacti and other succulents which would have to be grown indoors back in Blighty.

There is an enormous variety available, and they are particularly useful for those lacking green fingers or who only spend part of the year here, since many demand relatively little care and attention.

Choose a humus-rich, freedraining, gritty or sandy growing medium, and try not to place them in areas where moisture collects, since they tend to fare badly if roots be-

come waterlogged.

They can be planted in window boxes, rockeries, raised beds, or pots, so you can easily build up an interesting collection on a terrace or rooftop if you don’t have a garden.

Better still, small plants can usually be picked up very cheaply from garden centres, and the weather favours quick growth, so you can easily experiment with the plants’ often remarkable forms.

Do bear in mind that some cacti can have pretty vicious spines, so if children frequent your garden the more prickly varieties should be avoided.

IT seems now that most dogs wear a harness. I am unable to understand why. If one goes to a proper school they will not allow them. When a dog is being trained I do not object to using one.

A dog harness is similar to harness tack for horses.

There are various designs.

Harnesses can be used on Seeing Eye dogs in assistance of a disabled person, on working dogs that haul a cart or sled, in sporting events such as the Scandinavian practice of skijoring and pulka, and by non-working dogs for training purposes.

Assistance dogs will sometimes wear a harness if part of their job requires guiding or providing physical mobility for a disabled person. Generally, the harness design includes a built-in handle for the person to grip. This type also offers reinforcement to

DOG HARNESS: Can be used for training purposes. the handler as well as a padded breast plate for the dog. The sturdiness depends on whether the dog is gently leading, acting as a brace, or physically pulling a wheelchair.

Sled dog harnesses vary depending on the purpose of the animal; the two basic duties of a sled dog is hauling freight or racing. Harnesses come in three main types: the freight, the H-back, and the X-back. Dog sports are growing and more types of harnesses are being developed, including the Y-back

style and distance harness.

The freight harness is often an H-back harness that forms a ladder-like effect across the back with a wide chest band and sometimes extra padding.

The construction distributes the weight across the chest and over the shoulders because of the broadness of the area; it is designed to help the dog pull heavy weights efficiently. They may also feature a spreader bar behind the wheel dogs and before the sled or cart.

Racing harnesses are often lighter and shorter than

freight harnesses. The Xback harness gets its name from the straps that form an ‘X’ across the back of the dog. It is used more frequently than the H-back, with short versions that ride farther forward on the dog’s body recently gaining popularity.

The Y-back is a hybrid that is similar in appearance to the H-back. The tugline attaches to the harness on top of the dog’s back and stretches parallel to the ground or upwards to whatever is being hauled.

Help your pets to live longer WHILE just 20 or so years ago larger breeds of dog like Labradors could be expected to live to the age of nine or 10, nowadays they can be with us for 15 or 16 years thanks to improved care.

Dr Robin Downing, from the Downing Center for Animal Pain Management in the US gave five key tips to keep ageing pets comfortable and help them remain healthy: 1. Routine is all Pe ts fe e l s a fe , a nd a re healthier, when they have re gula r routine s . The s e should include check-ups with the vet and a good diet.

said. While we may think it’s normal for our fourlegged friends to slow down and age over time, early detection is critical.

3. Chubby is not healthy Obesity is the most frequent preventable disease in cats and dogs in the US, Downing said. Pets should be fed the correct type and amount of food for their age.

4. Keep an eye on science

Investigators are making breakthroughs all the time, so tomorrow there may well be something that can be done for your pet’s problems that wasn’t possible last week.

5. Ease and comfort We can adapt our homes to cater for our pets as they age.

Carpet-covered steps or ramps can be put in place to help aging hips, for example. move from one level to another, non-skid carpets or rubber mats put down to avoid slips and falls and food and drink bowls raised to avoid straining backs for example.

“Everything I have ever bought is in my car. People say it’s a skip and disgusting, and refuse to get in there. That’s one advantage. Another is that last week, I needed a headache pill and it was simply a case of rummaging under the seat until I found one.”

IT’S a strange feeling to hear a manual gearstick described as vintage, but that’s the direction Aston Martin have taken their classic V12 Vantage S in, reconfiguring the powerful model with a third pedal and a proper gearstick.

FOR BEST RATES IN MOTOR INSURANCE

A manual revolution at Aston Martin of them all

By Matthew Elliott

EWN

manual doesn’t sacrifice speed for gear shifting interaction. It can hit 100kph in 3.9 seconds, boasts a maximum 330kph, making it Aston Martin’s fastest series production car, helped along by a 6.0 litre engine powering 421kW and 620Nm of torque.

Indeed the V12 Vantage S

manual is old-school in its entirety, in its very fabric. It stands almost in defiant opposition to contemporary trends towards elegance and sophistication. Not this model, this is a loud, aggressive throwback to times past, a physically confident car that bellows, roars and curves and demands attention.

So it makes perfect sense that it would abandon paddle-shifting automatic transmission in favour of a

seven-speed Graziano gearbox with the first six gears positioned as you’d expect, while the seventh is stuck in at the top right in what oldschoolers would call a dogleg.

A definite nod to enthusiasts and hardcore motorheads, the question is whether, at €170,000 there is a significant market of determined car lovers who would take the time to appreciate this beast, or whether those who can afford the model are generally the type to opt for smoother, sleeker, sexier cars they can take around town?

Aston Martin has indicated that future production cars will also see manual transmissions incorporated, with automatic backup for those who have forgotten the lost art of proper driving, so the dog-leg might still have its day.

Motoring shorts

Motoring Brexit cost MOTORISTS are often left out of the debate on how a Brexit would affect everyday life for British nationals. Though it’s impossible to be exactly sure of driving affairs should Britain leave the EU, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland examples are something to go on.

Freedom of travel and health insurance would likely continue, albeit with slightly modified rules. An AA report suggests a short-term rise in petrol prices in Britain, traditionally higher than on the continent.

The cost of cars could change and BMW has already warned UK staff could see jobs threatened, impacting on manufacturing.

Electric race event THIS year will be the last FIA Formula E race held in London’s Battersea area after residents’ complaints over the disruption caused.

FOOTBALL • Last Saturday, 88,619 fans

at Wembley saw Manchester United win the FA Cup for a joint record 12th time, beating Crystal Palace 2-1 with a Jesse Lingard goal in extra time.

United had Chris Smalling sent off in what is said was Louis Van Gaal’s ‘last game’ as United’s boss… his replacement, the ‘Special One’ himself, Jose Mourinho!

• North of the border, a near-

51,000 crowd saw Hibs net twice in the last 10 minutes to defeat Rangers 3-2, to lift the Scottish Cup for the first time since 1902. However, there were appalling scenes after the game when Hibs supporters invaded the pitch and certain Rangers players were assaulted.

The SFA is investigating the incident.

• Elsewhere, there were cup

final wins for Bayern Munich (Pep Guardiola’s last game in charge), Juventus, Barcelona (2-0 over Sevilla) and PSG… and therefore each team completed their domestic double.

• Last Sunday, England edged past Turkey 2-1 in a preEuro 2016 warm-up friendly before 45,000 fans at The Etihad Stadium. Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy scored the goals but Kane also missed a penalty.

CRICKET • England (298) crushed Sri Lanka (91 and 119) by an innings and 88 runs in the first Test at Headingly.

• James Anderson took 10 wickets in the match (5-16 and 5-29) while Yorkshire wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow claimed nine catches and scored 140.

• Anderson’s figures were the best by an English bowler against Sri Lanka, beating Graeme Swann’s haul of 10-181 in 2012 and Bairstow is the first Englishman to strike a century and take nine catches in the same Test. South Africa’s AB De Villiers holds the record with 10 dismissals and a hundred in a single match.

• Crowds of 9,122, 13,039 and 21,393 attended the three days of the Leeds Test.

GOLF • Top golfer Rory McIlroy has, at last, won the Irish Open Championship.

JAMES ANDERSON: Took 10 wickets against Sri Lanka.
