Crash probe goes on

By Matt Ford Police are probing a road accident in which a Costa del Sol councillor allegedly collided and injured a moped rider while driving around a closed roundabout.

The accident on Avenida Antonio Machado in Benalmadena involved the town’s Personnel councillor, Beatriz Olmedo, who witnesses say used the new roundabout despite it being closed to traffic.

They say she collided with a man on a moped, with the rider taken to hospital with a gashed leg that needed several stitches.

A large sign reportedly expressly forbade use of the roundabout.

Councillor Olmedo has declined to comment until the in-

However, Local Police Chief Francisco Zamora has said investigations have been “professional.”

Ms Olmedo hit the headlines in 2015 after being axed from the Cuidadanos political party over a supposed undercover pact with counterparts on the PSOEled council weeks before being handed an official position as an independent candidate.

Up and down JUNE figures from the National Statistics Institute show that Marbella received 30.5 per cent more tourists than in 2016, the greatest increase on the Costa del Sol, while Torremolinos finished bottom of the local ranking after attracting 12.6 per cent fewer visitors.

By Matt Ford BEACHGOERS are advised to be on red alert over the coming weeks after experts revealed that jellyfish are present in above-average numbers across 5-10 per cent of Spain’s Mediterranean coastline.

The news comes as the stinging blobs have been reported from Malaga Province for the first time since 2015, as an expert in Alicante confirmed that certain beaches seem to attract them more frequently and in higher densities.

A new EU-funded report compiled by the Spanish Institute of Marine Sciences analysed sting data from more than 70 per cent of the country’s 1,200 lifeguard towers and highlighted a series of black spots.

Cesar Bordehore, a researcher at the University of Alicante’s Ramon Margalef Institute of Environmental Studies confirmed “we now know that between 5-10 per cent of Spanish Mediterranean beaches show an over-population, and we are now studying these cas-

THE most common species in the Spanish Mediterranean is Pelagia noctiluca, the purple or mauve stinger, most easily identified by its pink to purple colour.

It is an offshore species that is sometimes swept into shore, sometimes in massive numbers.

The sting from its tentacles is venomous but not especially dangerous, normally producing a whip-like scar.

Mr Bordehore said that if stung, the tentacle should be removed without rubbing using a plastic bank card or small pliers and cleaned with salt water.

“Never use fresh water,” he added.

SPANISH FACTS OF LIFE...22

Beat the Dutch A 34-YEAR-OLD Dutchman has been arrested in Benalmadena over his alleged involvement in an international drug trafficking ring. The Belgian authorities issued a European Arrest Warrant after the accused was found to be part of a criminal organisation dedicated to largescale drug smuggling in Antwerp port, Belgium. The organisation is said to have brought in at least 2,200 kilograms of cocaine and 1,100 kilograms of heroin.

Safety first BUSINESSES participating in this year’s Malaga fair will be investigated for safety compliance after a spate of incidents during Holy Week earlier in the year, National Police announced. Security councillor Mario Cortes met with representatives from the affected businesses to discuss the importance of evacuation plans, before announcing that the authorities will ensure that all businesses hire professional security bodies.

Bid farewell THE Spanish government has announced that Marbella, Ronda, Fuengirola, Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Alhaurin el Grande, Alhaurin de la Torre and Cartama will for the second time receive no European funds for their Sustainable Urban Development Strategies, although they still have a chance in the third and final round of handouts. Malaga, Estepona and Nerja were among those to receive money last year.

Mystery death POLICE are investigating the discovery of a woman’s corpse that was found floating face down in Estepona’s fishing port.

The victim has been identified as a 40-year-old local resident who may have been receiving psychological treatment, with her purse found on the floor several metres away from her body.

Initial reports suggest that there were no signs of violence.

Spain is the second-largest producer of cork in the world after Portugal, with 27 per cent of the world’s 2.2 million hectares of cork forest, and the annual harvest is in full swing.

INSIDE VIEW

Popping the cork!

News

TAKING place from June 15 to August 15 each year, the cork harvest is the ultimate example of an environmentally-friendly industry which still employs ancient methods.

It is considered sustainable because the trees are not cut down to obtain the product, rather the bark is stripped from the trunk by highly-skilled workers known as corcheros who wield specialised tools and must train for around eight years.

Normally working in teams of five, they each have a specific role, from using an axe to strip the cork to stacking the planks in piles or loading it onto mules once it is cut.

At the factory, the planks are boiled in a deep water vat, which renders it soft enough for flattening and processing.

BARK: Is stripped from the trunk.

A fine vintage THE trees cannot be harvested until they are 30 to 40 years old and have a minimum circumference of 60cm at the base.

After being cut they are left alone for nine-12 years to allow the cork to grow back, the harvest taking place in a different area each year following a cyclical pattern.

The first and second harvests produce low quality cork, but from the third onwards it is of sufficiently high grade to use for the production of corks for around 60 per cent of the world’s wine.

Although cork oaks can live for more than 300 years, some even reaching 500, they are not usually exploited after they reach 200 years of age.

OUR VIEW

The right to live or die THE sad story of Charlie Gard has been heartbreaking, not just for his parents but for tens of thousands of people who followed the case.

No parent ever wants to outlive their child and in this particular case, the agony of the parents who have tried everything to prolong his life is quite clear.

The Great Ormond Street Hospital has a fantastic record of improving the life of so many children but does appear to have been involved in a number of legal battles over the rights of parents to keep their children alive.

More than £100,000 (€110,000) was raised by donation to help support Charlie’s parents but all of this money and the legal costs of the hospital have effectively been wasted whilst the various court cases were heard.

There is a terrible dilemma here as to who should have the right to decide the life or termination of a child.

The hospital has experts who believe that their recommendation to terminate Charlie’s life was correct, yet past cases have shown that miracles can occur as in the case of Aysha King whose parents were arrested for taking him out of the UK. This is not the first or the last case of this kind, but in the meantime, we certainly feel immense sorrow for Charlie’s brave parents.

“If I had read such a warning I would have been much more vigilant,” says Pauline.

She was robbed after shopping in her local Mercadona car park, and is pleased that the location where she was targeted is now at times staffed by security men.

Looking back on the theft, Pauline said: “I felt utterly sick and it will take me ages to replace what has been stolen.

A British man who later

found her handbag - but without the cash - told her he had been robbed in a similar ploy two years ago in the same spot, and that he was also stabbed in the arm during the incident.

A few local supermarkets on the coast have signs warning shoppers not to leave valuables in sight in parked cars, but Pauline’s call for security staff or ‘Beware of thieves’ signs is a more focused move.

Peter Stretton, a retired British pensioner from Alhaurin had a similar experience to Pauline last summer.

“It happened so quickly.”

James Findley from Denia also told of two recent incidents.

“Last summer my wife had her purse stolen from her shopping bag in a shop car park by a passer-by and friends this Easter, who initially flew to Madrid at the start of their visit to Spain, had a wallet stolen on the train from the airport.

“It happened when the husband was distracted while carrying cases and watching his family.”

James said he knows of others who have had valuables stolen from their cars while being distracted in car parks.

“With so many visitors police should make people aware with a poster campaign in Spanish, English, and other languages warning that theft is an issue locally.

“This is not detrimental to Spain. It happens in Germany, France, the UK... but so many arrive here in high holiday spirits only to realise hidden dangers.”

Officials at various foreign consuls in Spain have over many years warned nationals of the importance of safeguarding against theft, with many family holidays ruined after handbags or bags containing passports, air tickets, and other valuables have been stolen.

RESIDENTS of Cacho Pan and Las Tres Marias in Malaga are up in arms after a woman committed suicide by jumping from the A-7 Totalan viaduct which passes above their neighbourhoods.

The incident caused a three-hour traffic delay and prevented them from accessing or leaving their homes, and it was the fourth such case in the last decade.

Furious locals are now calling for the council to introduce measures to prevent further deaths.

“The last victim landed just five metres from a house on the Las Tres Marias side of the bridge,” revealed a spokesperson, who did not wish to be named, after explaining how the previous two landed on the MA-3202 road.

In addition, the council has come under fire for failing to deal with rubbish being thrown from cars travelling along the busy motorway.

“Everything from cans, bottles, food and broken vehicle parts cover the road side,” the resident added.

The locals believe that problems could be solved by increasing the height of the railing at the side of the bridge, which they first requested when it was opened in 2003.

Open letter from HMA Simon Manley GIVEN the success of the Spanish State Visit to the UK the week before last, which, among other things, highlighted the importance of people to people links between our two countries, I thought it timely to return to the subject of citizens’ rights in the negotiations on our departure from and future partnership with the EU. In the year since the EU referendum, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of you across the country, from the Balearics to the Canaries, along the Costas and in Madrid, and our consular teams have met many more.

I know from those conversations that there has been uncertainty for many of you. My teams and I have listened to your concerns about the future, including about your residency status in Spain, the level of your UK pensions, and your access to Spanish health and other social services, and have noted the questions you have about tax, inheritance, right to work and the implications of apply-

ing for Spanish nationality.

At our meetings, on our social media and in interviews, I have also pledged to keep you up to date as negotiations on our exit from the European Union continue. So, let me update you on where matters stand now, in light of the latest negotiation round in Brussels last week.

The UK government has been clear that citizens are our top priority in the exit negotiations. We want an agreement that provides citizens with greater certainty about their future.

Last week, we held constructive and substantive discussions with the European Commission on the bulk of the issues underpinning our respective positions on citizens’ rights. Together we have taken a big step forward.

There is a much clearer understanding on the detail of the positions on both sides and significant convergence on the key issues that really matter to citizens. You can read this technical note which compares the

SIMON MANLEY: Has pledged to keep you up to date as negotiations continue.

UK and EU positions on these issues here. It is clear both sides want to move towards an agreement.

As you know, on June 26, the Prime Minister outlined to Parliament an offer to protect the rights of EU citizens in the UK. We are entering the negotiations with the European Commission and the other 27 EU Member States constructively and we therefore hope that the EU27 will offer reciprocal treatment for British nationals resident in the other

Member States.

Many of you will have seen press reports of our June 26 offer, whether in the UK or Spanish media. I hope you will also have read the detailed proposals which are set out in ‘Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU’ (https://www.gov.uk/ govern ment/policies/brexit) and I would encourage you to sign-up for email alerts (you can do so on the Home Office gov.uk page) to receive updates, to ensure that you are receiving information and guidance from official sources.

The first key element of the new proposal is residence status and working rights. Until the UK’s exit, EU citizens in the UK will continue to enjoy all the rights they currently have under EU law; they can continue to live and work in the UK just as they do now.

The same rights also apply to

you, British residents in Spain.

You can continue to live and work here in Spain as you always have done. After the UK’s exit from the EU, we are proposing a reciprocal deal that would protect the right of UK nationals already in the EU to continue to live and work in the EU. We hope that the European Commission and the 27 other Member States will agree to this.

The second key element is healthcare, pensions, education and access to benefits. It is our intention to treat EU citizens with settled status in the UK in the same way as if they were UK citizens for the purposes of access to education, benefits and pensions.

For you, the government has announced that the UK will continue to export and uprate the UK State Pension and provide associated healthcare cover within the EU, issues which I know from my conversations over the last year were important to many of you.

At the moment, those of you who are UK pensioners and resident in Spain access healthcare through the S1 form. This means the UK reimburses Spain the cost of providing medical treatment.

After the UK leaves the EU, we want to continue your healthcare entitlements on the same basis. Healthcare in Spain was indeed one of the case studies cited in the detailed pro-

posals made by the British Government on June 26 (see link).

Subject to negotiations, we want to continue participating in the European Health Insurance Card scheme meaning EHIC holders continue to benefit from free, or reduced-cost, needs-arising healthcare while on a temporary stay in the EU and vice versa for EU EHIC holders visiting the UK. We hope the European Commission will agree to this.

The British government has repeatedly said that, until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force.

You can continue travelling throughout the EU on your UK passport, without any visa requirements.

You can continue to access Spanish healthcare and draw your UK pension. If you have any difficulties accessing those rights, do please let our Consulates know I will continue to engage with you and listen to you, as will my consular teams across Spain. In the meantime, please follow me on Twitter (@Si monManleyFCO) and access the Embassy’s social media (@UKinSpain on Twitter; British Embassy Madrid and Brits in Spain on Facebook) to keep up-to-date with developments.

Police created a fake profile, of a supposed 15-year-old in Malaga, and reached out to the suspect.

The man began attempting to convince the ‘girl’ to send him nude pictures, and offered to put €30 of credit onto her phone.

The victim explained that in the past the two had disagreed on multiple occasions.

“He said that he had come to kill him, and explained that the same person had come to his home and threatened him with a knife just weeks ago,” added the witness.

During the police chase the accused knocked two victims off their motorcycle, however neither were seriously injured.

The older victim has been transferred to hospital after sustaining injuries to his arms and legs, while the accused has been transferred to the provincial police station to await justice.

He first offered cocaine at €80 a gram and then nitrous oxide (laughing gas) at €20 per bulb but was rather taken aback when the officer revealed his true identity.

After arresting and searching the 25-year-old he was discovered to be in possession of two bags of cocaine, 14 bulbs of nitrous oxide, 20 balloons from which the gas would be inhaled and €300 in cash.

Nitrous oxide is traditionally used for carbonating drinks and making whipped cream, but when inhaled can give mild feelings of euphoria, although it is a general anaesthetic and can cause burns to the face and in a worst case scenario asphyxiation.

The bodies of most of the sheep were found the next day at the foot of the cliff in the Spanish village of Lladorre near the Spanish-French border.

Runs are also limited to 10 minutes per bull, and 30 minutes total. Blood doping for both professionals and the animals has also been

prohibited, and the bulls must spend 48 hours in a pen - rather than a small compartment where they are kept in the dark before a run and taken directly to the starting point of the run.

The new law has faced harsh criticism, with some calling the law “unenforceable” and unconstitutional. Ciudadanos spokesman Xavier Pericay has also gone as far as to call the changes “traitorous” by attempting to “ban a culture without people realising.”

British government launches crack down on 34 holiday sickness scam firms

HOLIDAY SICKNESS: There have been many false claims.

BRITAIN’S government has hit dozens of illegal firms suspected of encouraging fake holiday sickness compensation claims.

The Ministry of Justice has found a total of 34 unlicensed firms believed to be fuelling the surge in numbers of bogus claims being made

by British tourists.

Six warnings have been issued as well as two investigations, and six websites have been shut down.

It also found evidence of solicitors carrying out malpractice and has informed the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

A further 40 firms offering no-win, no-fee services were also issued with ‘compliance

advice.’

Despite the crackdown, the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) has questioned whether the crackdown will stop company owners from carrying on as before.

ABTA’s director of public affairs Alan Wardle said: “While it’s great this action has been taken, we need to make sure the owners of these companies cannot simply set up shop again and carry on as before” A British couple were recently ordered to pay thousands to Thomas Cook after making a fraudulent compensation claim from their trip to Gran Canaria.

Do you have a mortgage in Spain?

IF you do, maybe you have a Ground Clause or ‘clausula suelo,’ and you have been paying for years extra in your monthly payments for your mortgage that could add up to thousands or Euros.

What is a ground clause?

It is a clause in which some Spanish banks have fooled its customers telling them that their loans are charged at a variable interest rate when really they have been charged a higher minimum interest.

What is the legal situation with the ground clause?

Currently a European Court judgement has declared the total retroactivity of the ground clauses claims. Also take note that you can claim even if your mortgage is cancelled.

By other way, Spanish government has created a national law in order to regulate Ground clauses claims.

Must the banks return what you paid in excess?

Not at all, the new government law does not really oblige banks to pay back, what the law established is a system prior to the judicial claim where, after a client’s claim banks are required to inform of the amounts paid more for the application of the ground clause and say if they agree with the cus-

tomer’s claim or not. So really what the law says is that the bank must inform about amounts paid in excess and give the chance of a deal to the parties.

If you are interested in finding out if you have been subjected to the clause and if you are paying more, we just need copies of the following documents: - Copy of mortgage deeds.

- Mortgage statement from beginning to date.

Kindly feel free to ask for a free appointm e n t i n o rd e r t o g e t a v a l u a t i o n o f y o u r case, you won’t pay solicitor fees until you get your money back, get a judgement or we eliminate your ground clause.

Obituary Owen Andrew Thomas (1962-2017) Formerly Benalmadena and latterly of Algeciras THE Euro Weekly News was deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of our exeditor Owen Thomas.

We extend our profoundest sympathies to his family at this difficult time.

A former colleague who was at EWN during the time Owen was with the newspaper and who still lives near Benalmadena, informed of his death said: “Oh how terrible. What a dreadful tragedy.

Owen was generally unassuming, and a really nice guy.

“I really do not want to say much at this dreadful time. I just want to remember all the good times together.

“I stayed in touch for a time after he left but then we lost contact, though he moved to Madrid at one time before returning to Andalucia to live.

“Please do not publish my name.

“I am happy for you to say how very sad I am. I just want to hide away right now with my happy memories of a man who was genuinely sincere and liked by so many.”

Michel Euesden - publisher of EWNMG is deeply saddened by the loss to the community of such a fine young man. Owen came to us many years ago as an editor and was highly respected by his peers and managers alike. Although he moved on he remained in touch and was always delighted by the progress of the paper he started working in the Euro Weekly News.

In recent weeks he came back to visit us with a view to returning to his roots in early October. Owen will always be remembered by us all as a TRUE GENT with a passion for reporting news to the expat community he thought so much of.

Our prayers and thoughts are with his family.

IF you have ever complained about the cost of living in Spain, think again as it has some of the cheapest prices in Europe for some products.

Whilst it comes in the middle of all 28 countries in the European Union according to a report from Eurostat, the EU statistics agency, it is one of the cheapest for alcohol, cigarettes and clothing.

Conversely, it is considered one of the most expensive for mobile phones, internet connection and furniture.

More support for young unemployed THE Spanish government has committed a further €837 million to youth training taking the total to €3.2 billion until 2023.

This was revealed by Minister of Employment Fatima Báñez who also confirmed that a proportion of this ing would come from European funding.

With more than 500,000 poorly educated and unemployed young people not contributing to the economy, the government is anxious to improve their options by encouraging employers to take on

trainees who will be learn skills as they work for a period of 18 months.

During this period of training, the government will pay €430 per month towards their salaries and if then transferred to long term contract, the government will also pay their employers up to €4,800 a year for three years.

According to the minister, Spain is leading the way in the creation of youth employment in Europe although it recognises that it still has a long way to go.

Popular deposits dropped OVER a two month period prior to its enforced takeover, Banco Popular saw deposits of €9.3 billion withdrawn from accounts.

Much of this movement was caused by commercial funds and Spanish municipalities pulling out which helped in turn to see the rapid drop in the bank’s credit rating.

FINANCE, BUSINESS & LEGAL

UNABLE TO FACE THE THOUGHT OF JAIL FORMER chairman of Spanish savings bank Caja Madrid, Miguel Blesa, was found dead at a country estate in Cordoba after shooting himself.

Blesa, who was released from prison pending an appeal against a sixyear prison sentence after being found guilty in the ‘tarjetas black’ banking scandal, was discovered with a bullet wound in his chest from a hunting rifle and an autopsy confirmed the belief that death was caused by suicide.

He was on a hunting trip with friends and reportedly said he was going to move his car, when a gunshot was heard.

According to reports from Europa Press, Blesa’s inner circle said he was not depressed or feeling defeated in the days leading up to his death.

The former Caja Madrid boss was one of 64 people accused of misusing €12 million of Caja Madrid and Bankia money between 2003 and 2012.

They were accused of using company credit cards for personal expenses such as luxury holidays and parties without ever justifying them or declaring them to tax authorities.

Miguel Blesa had allegedly established the ‘corrupt system’ while head of the bank before handing the reins over to Rodrigo Rato - also one of the 64 accused - in 2010.

Caja Madrid was once one of Spain’s largest lenders, with an estimated seven million customers and annual earnings of over €2 billion during the real estate boom.

In 2011, it merged with other banks to form Bankia, but just one year later needed billions of euros from the state to stay afloat, and eventually asked the EU for a bailout where it received €41 billion.

This was not the first time that he had flirted with scandal as he had

spent 15 days in jail in 2013 with regards to overpayment for the purchase of a Florida bank and was only released when his lawyers had the judge thrown off the case which then collapsed.

A former friend of many politicians who sinecures with his bank, Blesa had fallen so far from grace - especially after boasting about his extravagant life style - that he grew a beard and wore dark glasses in public.

Possibly the final straw may have been that his assets including pension payments had been partly frozen and his properties were used as guarantees to the courts.

Although neither Andrés Pérez nor Fátima Pereyra who met in Sevilla knew anything about the sweet market, they decided that there would always be an outlet for good quality sweets that were produced from the best ingredients and were packaged attractively.

T h u s i n 2 0 1 0 , Wo n k a n d y world of natural candy - was born with production outsourced to a range of manufacturers leaving the pair to concentrate on marketing and sales.

The home market was still weak despite their launch of an outlet in Sevilla but they discovered that the business could be nurtured through foreign sales and the signing of franchise arrangements.

What really helped the business take off was when their product was picked up by Harrods in Lon-

don and with a bit of tweaking to the ingredients, they found that they had a range of sweeties which would appeal to the Halal market in the Middle East.

Candies like jelly beans are generally non Halal because they contain gelatine which is often made in part from pork bones, so they adapted their recipes and obtained a certificate from the Spanish Halal Institute which allowed them to develop business in many Muslim countries.

Now they export to 20 countries around the world and have a number of franchised outlets throughout Spain with some 60 per cent of their income being derived from exports.

With steady growth the company is continuing to expand and is filling a niche role which they hope will see their brand becoming one of the largest exporters of Halal sweets as well as appealing to those who are gluten and lactose intolerant.

BBVA Bank best app A SIMPLE app from Spani s h b a n k B B VA h a s b e e n voted the best mobile banking app in the world, leaving 53 leading international banks standing.

The research which was undertaken by Forrester, an international research and advisory company, studied 54 different criteria ranging from ease of registration, security, speed and ease of login to availability of advice and sale of products.

The average score out of 100 for these mobile apps was 63 and the success of the BBVA app at 87 simply left much larger and wealthier banks in the shadows.

Spanish public debt up THE Spanish public debt almost tripled to €1.087 trillion since the start of the economic crisis in 2008.

It is still more than 100 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (difference between income and expenditure) of the count r y but as i ncom e has i ncreased, the negative effect is slightly less than this time last year.

This debt compares with the 2008 figure of €390.6 billion in 2008 but is still considerably less than the USA, Japan and the UK.

GROWTH OF THE WORLDWIDE COURIER

Deliveries quicker and easier THE world of the courier is relatively new but now accounts for a significant amount of business and sees turnover of hundreds of billions of euros worldwide.

For centuries, goods were delivered by sea and then by horse and carriage to stores and indiv i d u a l s , w i t h e ff i c i e n c y a n d speed of delivery increasing with the introduction of trains, vehicles and aircraft.

The introduction of the Universal Penny Post in 1840 was the start of a whole worldwide revolution which allowed for cheap and speedy delivery of post and then parcels nationally and internationally.

Now, couriers, who were first set up to transfer important documents across the world in a quick and efficient manner are growing in size, value and importance helped in the main part by the introduction of online shopping.

According to a recent Mintel

COURIER SERVICES have really taken off. report Britain alone is expected to spend more than €12 billion with couriers during 2017 and there is now almost no country in the world that the couriers - many of whom own their own aircraft don’t reach.

Live in Spain, want something

from the UK, don’t worry, there will be a courier company ready to de l i ver i t i n a m at t er of days and suppliers are able to strike such good financial deals with them that often delivery is free and certainly more efficient than local postal services.

Britain needs transition deal THE co-Chief Executive of major US financial operation Goldman Sachs International wants to see the British government agree a Brexit transitional deal.

He argues that unless this happens quickly and is of a significant period then his company and many others will simply have no option other than to reduce their work force in the UK and increase recruitment across the European Union.

Richard Gnodde, the most senior employee of the company outside of the USA told the BBC that he was wasting money making contingency plans when he doesn’t actually know what the British government intends.

With 6,500 UK based employees the company is just one of many that is pressing for information from Brexit Secretary David Davis who has recently left Brussels without any agreements of any significance being made.

Losing mental capacity whilst living abroad

by Stone King Charlotte Macdonald Contact me at international@stoneking.co.uk

MANY UK expatriates living in Spain own properties in the UK and have pensions and investments in the UK. They rely on their UK assets to maintain their lifestyles (and those of their families) in Spain. If they can no longer manage their affairs in the UK due to a loss of mental capacity, it can cause many difficulties.

You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able.

The best way to avoid the legal and practical difficulties that can occur with the loss of mental capacity is to plan for it in advance by drawing up a document called a ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ (‘LPA’).

An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity.

What is an LPA? An LPA is a legal document that enables you to appoint one or more attor-

neys to act for you when you are no longer able to act for yourself.

Your attorney can be a professional,

such as a solicitor or a family member or friend.

There are two types of LPA: ‘Health and Welfare’ or ‘Property and Financial Affairs’ An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity. It is therefore important to make one while you are in good health.

Why should you get an LPA? You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able.

If you lose your mental capacity and do not have an LPA, then your family (or the authorities) will have no choice but to make an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a ‘deputy’ to look after your affairs, which can be time consuming and costly.

Will my LPA be recognised in Spain?

Unfortunately there is no international type of LPA which is guaranteed to work in both the UK and Spain.

The advice we give to our clients at Stone King, is that if you have assets in both Spain and the UK, your only safe option is to appoint attorneys in both jurisdictions.

If you would like to discuss LPAs contact Charlotte Macdonald or Dan Harris at Stone King LLP by email international@stoneking.co.uk or by telephone on +44 (0)1225 337599.

Do what is best for Charlie LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT HAVING raised six offspring, all of whom I love most dearly, I have the utmost sympathy for the parents of little Charlie Gard.

Unfortunately, as deeply as this young couple obviously love and cherish their little mite, it is now, in my opinion, time to let him go.

I am of course writing this before the court’s decision on the matter, but I personally feel that even if this new American neurosurgeon can do anything to prolong his life, all the experts agree, the chances of him enjoying an existence even remotely approaching normality appear to be just about nil.

To me the adoration of his parents has now become somewhat misguided. Blinded by emotion they are, I feel, in danger of evoking a desire to prove themselves morally right, both in the eyes of the law and their numerous sympathisers than do what is right for their little boy.

EMOTIONAL TURMOIL: Charlie’s parents face crucial decision based on emotions or morals.

Please, if you truly love him, as I’m sure you do, let him pass. Invest the money raised by the caring public into research, or a new hospital wing.

Some kind of memorial to celebrate his short time among us.

But for mercy’s sake let him go.

Give your own torment some closure. Begin again, bring a new little miracle into the world. Look to a bright new future knowing you did all you could for little Charlie.

I get a little peeved by the attitude of a number of the Grenfell survivors.

I don’t have to reiterate how sympathetic I feel for the traumatised victims of this disaster and can understand their anger that it was able to happen in the first place. But I truly believe the authorities are doing all they can to sort out this most com-

plex of complicated scenarios.

I also know how difficult it is to please everyone; but to hear that out of 300 offers of accommodation, only 14 have been accepted, does make me think that perhaps the co-operation with people trying to help is somewhat lacking on the part of the residents.

I was particularly put out by the attitude of a number of attendees at the initial meeting of the investigation committee. ‘You’re not one of us Mon,’ screamed one dissenter at enquiry conductor Sir Martin MooreBick. Just what is that supposed to mean? That Moore-Bick is not an ethnic, multi-cultural immigrant of non-British decent? If Moore-Bick himself had uttered the same statement, he would have been labelled a racist and could possibly have faced prosecution. It would be more respectful to the memory of those who perished to bury all racial and social grievances and just allow those selected to complete this enquiry in the quickest and fairest way possible.

Keep the faith, Love Leapy.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Driver’s performance AS part of a new series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

DRIVE SMART: Self assessment app.

A M O B ILE a pp w hic h assesses and records a person’s driving performance has revealed that drivers in Spain don’t quite perform as they believe.

DriveSmart is the mobile app that measures the driving style of the user and compares it with the assessment of other drivers. The survey revealed that drivers in Spain believed themselves to be generally ‘good drivers’ however, after the analysis of the results it revealed that they are actually even better than they thought.

To run the application it needs to be activated at the beginning of the trip and then it automatically collects the data on a person’s driving performance using the phone ’s inte rna l s e ns or s such as accelerometer, compass and GPS for example, without the driver having to use or manipulate the phone during the journey.

Drivers are asked to create a profile before and after the trip, depending on the characteristics and conditions of the road, DriveSmart evaluates the journey and shows r esul t s on how t he dr i ver per formed behind the wheel and how they could improve.

In the self-assessment only one in three Spaniards considered themselves to be a ‘good driver,’ while 12 per cent thought they were ‘excellent.’ Only 1 per cent said they were a ‘bad driver.’

However despite these modest results, the app gave these drivers an average rating of 95.99 out of 100, an improvement on t he r at i ngs of 94.6 f r om l ast year.

Across the regions, drivers in Cantabria scored the best with an average rating of 97.7, f ol l owed by t he Canar i es and Baleares with 97.55 and 97.44 respectively.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

CATALUÑA is governed by Junts pel Si (Together for Yes), a coalition of pro-independence parties headed by Carles Puigdemont of PDeCat and Oriol Junqueras from the leftwing nationalists ERC. Junqueras is organising the referendum and making sure that all waverers are left by the wayside. Not that all the replaced Consellers including those who headed the Interior, Presidency and Education, were having second thoughts about independence.

Doubts that the October 1 referendum vetoed by Madrid would take place were enough to send them packing.

Others were reluctant to share with Junqueras any legal or political fallout from the referendum.

less, but what airline is? BA made it into the top 10, but the data was analysed prior to its worldwide IT failure that recently grounded all BA passengers for 48 hours. Plus, last year, it was sued by an American couple who claimed a mix-up ruined their holiday, sending them to Grenada (in the Caribbean) instead of Granada (Spain).

Not quite as bad, though, as the poor soul who boarded a flight (not BA this time) he thought to Oakland, California and woke up over the Pacific Ocean - en route to Auckland, New Zealand. Or the person who wanted to fly to Anchorage, Alaska, but ended up in Ankara, Turkey.

Not to mention the one who wanted San Diego but got Santiago instead. Or, minutes from landing on a flight from Chicago to Vancouver, the passenger who suddenly awoke from a deep sleep and asked, “Is this Seattle?”

Or the Italian couple who booked a holiday through a travel agent to Sydney, Australia and ended up in Syd-

ney, Nova Scotia, Canada.

A friend used to work at the tourist information desk in the airport in Rodez, a town in southern France. Apparently, a fairly major part of her job was dealing with British tourists who thought they’d bought tickets to Rhodes, Greece.

Now I admit I don’t like flying. Ever since a bad experience as a young child in a turbo prop to hurricane-bound Malta when the pilot announced: “We’ll soon be landing at Luqa airport.

Impressive six-pack IN Spain as in all countries around the world, a small and sadly unrepresented sample of people suffers from what I call Hideous Face Syndrome. I am myself a victim of this circumstance. For men this means their appearance has denied them the chance to know what it feels like to have girls either flirt with them, come up of their own volition and say hello when on a night out, or give out green light signals instead of the big red stop signs they are used to. The only exception to this rule applies to handsomely challenged men of great wealth and exceptional self-confidence, who can act like magnets for young attractive ladies. Damn them! I repel instead of attract.

But do good-looking and normal-looking people ever pause to consider what life must be like for those who don’t possess their good fortune? It must be difficult for someone who is able to go out and hook up with a member of the opposite sex at will to have any understanding of what it is like for those of us who know that all attempts to get lucky will result in rejection.

We have the same urges, the same feelings, yet we are destined to be forever watching the same fortunate people snaring and discarding partners while we smile weakly and churn up inside.

In warm climes like the Costa del Sol, a grotesquely-faced man parading hopefully in his speedos whilst sporting an overhanging belly is starting with an extra disadvantage when it comes to enticing a partner. Not that my impressive six-pack helps me much, as when I open my fridge and reveal my six cans of beer, ladies are not as delighted as I had hoped. But at least the beer can help to drown your sorrows, until it results in you gaining an unwanted beer belly. Oh well. Cheers!

It is on the market with Prime Property Marbella for an eye-watering €80 million, or can be rented short term for €25,000 per day.

A SPANISH property association has warned that an astonishing number of people across the country lack adequate buildings insurance. Arrenta also believes around four in five buildings insurance contracts are old, with high premiums.

They advise that owner communities across Spain seek out help from impartial insurance brokers who can offer an expert assessment of the true cost of fixing up community pipes or cleaning graffiti. Analysis from Arrenta also found that the vast majority of property owners in community buildings have no idea what their buildings insurance coverage includes or how much it really costs.

Arrenta’s findings come amid other surveys which reveal that huge numbers of property owners in Spain do not even have home insurance. A general lack of awareness about the benefits mean that millions of people forego it entirely.

ROPERTY prices continue to rise in Spain but that isn’t affecting purchases, which are definitely keeping up with the pace. Statistics suggest that the twin pillars of Spain’s property market are working well in tandem.

The latest data is in for the first quarter of 2017 and shows a price increase of 7.7 per cent over Jan-March 2016. With respect to the last quarter, from Oct-Dec 2016, prices increased by 4.4 per cent, moderating the total decline from the highs of 2007 to just 22.8 per cent.

Meanwhile purchase figures for the first quarter show that 113,738 transactions were registered, which is the best quarterly result in six years. It represents a huge increase of 21.8 per cent on the final quarter of 2016, and a year-on-year increase of 14.4 per cent.

Among the new mortgages signed, the average debt stood at €116,182 and fixed-rate mortgages accounted for 38.7 per cent of the contracts. Once again the vast majority of homes sold were secondhand, though new build numbers continue to rise, and at a faster rate.

Price rises also saw another symbolic milestone reached in Spain’s superb recovery. Property prices across the country are now comparable to 2004, well before the crisis and at a healthy time for the Spanish market before the sharp rises from 2006-2008.

oom, bust and ack again

Spain has suffered economic uncertainty since 2008, but there are encouraging signs for the property market.

Money is flowing into the Spanish property market from sun-bound Brits who continue to cement their dominance of the country’s foreign buyers market.

In the first quarter of 2017 foreign nationals purchased roughly 15,000 properties in Spain. That amounts to a 13.1 per cent share of the total market, following on from last year’s average of 17 per cent.

Among the foreign buyers, Brits accounted for 14.5 per cent of purchases, by far the largest national contingent.

French buyers secured the second highest share at 9.6 per cent, putting Brits well ahead in front.

The next largest nationalities by share of the market were the Germans on 7.7 per cent, Belgians on 6.9 per cent and

Swedes on 6.3 per cent, the latter two with less than half the British share.

The data shows 2017 is so far following the exciting trends set in 2016 which saw foreign buyers continue to flood into Spain, snapping up properties and helping the market soar to fresh new heights.

This year analysts expect foreign buyers to purchase more than half a million homes in Spain, the vast majority secondhand. That would reflect a remarkable rise from roughly 300,000 in 2013.

Brits are leading that charge and have so far defied the pessimistic expectations surrounding Brexit. Across the board property portals have reported increased numbers of Brits expressing serious interest in Spanish property after the vote.

PRICES: Are still rising.

dream

By Christopher Clover HE Internet has become by far the most useful tool for those looking to buy properties and a netbased property search is usually the first step taken by any potential buyer.

But, is it the right second step, once one sees a few desirable properties on several sites, to contact and make appointments with all the agents offering those properties, agents you don’t know or may not have even heard anything about, some of whom do not even identify themselves correctly on their sites?

Perhaps another option to consider, even while looking at everything on the net, might be to seek out as a first priority a really qualified, experienced agency to work with that has a large direct inventory of the kind of property you are looking for.

Additionally, choosing such an agent will assure that they pull out all the stops to spend plenty of time with you to get to know you and your special requirements as well as possible, sharing with you their market knowledge and recent comparable sales actually made, and who will eventually find just the right property for you. If it’s not in their own inventory they will go out and find that special property through their colleagues in other agencies on a commission-sharing basis.

T

Choosing a lawyer Experts recommend that purchasers of property in Spain retain a qualified solicitor to represent them and qualified financial advisors to deal with tax issues. Once you have made a decision to purchase property here, even though you may not have found that special property yet, establishing a relationship while you are in Marbella can be immensely useful if you start negotiating a purchase after returning to your country of residence, as it is clearly more difficult to choose a lawyer long distance.

Getting the basics into place Having a lawyer, NIE number (an identity number issued to foreigners in Spain) in place, and bank account opened strengthens a buyer’s position when negotiating as

IF YOUR OFFER IS TOO LOW IT WILL NOT ENGAGE

he or she can put down an immediate deposit if an offer is accepted, since all the other details will have been taken care of already.

Negotiating a purchase A good agent will also be immensely helpful to you in negotiating the purchase of a property you are interested in buying. It is important to remember that if your offer is too low it will not engage the interest of the seller, and might actually prove counter-productive.

An articulate offer will generally capture the attention of a vendor. We recommend getting all your points together, rather than negotiating ‘piece meal.’ Make your offer in writing if possible (of course, subject to contract). Points to include are not only the price, but also the deposit amount and when you are prepared to pay it, when you are prepared to complete the transaction, what you understand to be included in the price (for example furniture and fittings if applicable), and an often neglected point - that all technical equipment and installations should be in good working order. Also, if you have a second choice property you should certainly advise the vendor of this fact.

Your lawyer can also be consulted during the negotiation to ensure that the terms of the offer meets his or her legal criteria, and on

occasion will also become actively involved in more complex negotiations.

The purchasing process Actually purchasing a property in Spain is a relatively straightforward procedure.

The ‘last word’ in property ownership is the property registry, which will show immediately if the seller owns the property free of liens and encumbrances. Most frequently, unless an immediate payment of the full purchase price is made, a private contract of purchase is drawn up wherein the details of the purchase are reflected the legal description of the property, purchase price, form of payment, date of completion, date of possession, etc. Upon signing the private contract, a payment on account of the purchase price is always made which can vary substantially according to the terms of the sale and the date of completion.

A quite normal deposit for completion within 30 to 60 days would be 10 per cent of the agreed purchase price.

New properties which are unfinished obviously are paid for over the construction period, and all payments on account before finishing must be guaranteed, according to LAW 38/1999, by a bank or insurance company: if the property is not finished by a certain date, a purchaser has the right to reclaim the monies paid, plus legal interests. Additionally, another law obliges the property developer to arrange a 10-year insurance policy with respect to any basic building defects with the purchasers as beneficiaries.

When the entire purchase price is paid for the property, the seller will issue the public deed of conveyance (escritura) to the purchaser, free of liens and encumbrances. This deed is issued before a Spanish Notary, is passed from the notary to the tax office to be assessed for Transfer Tax if the property is a resale or second-hand property, or assessed for Stamp Duty if the property is sold directly by the developer. It’s then presented to the Property Registry for inscription. A provisional inscription in the registry is made immediately upon issuance of the deeds.

Where luxury is par for the course NESTLED in the hills between Benahavis and Ronda, La Zagaleta is a development which caters for those who can afford to live the Marbella lifestyle but want privacy.

The development has some of the most attractive and tastefully built villas designed by international architects in a range of different styles from the palatial to the

modernistic and it is also possible to purchase plots on the site from which individual dreams may be built.

This is not just a traditional urbanisation but a real centre of excellence which offers two private golf courses, reserved for members of the community with each having its own club house offering a range of services.

If residents require traditional Spanish fare, Asian cuisine or simply a drink and a snack, one of the two clubs will be able to satisfy their needs.

That however is not all that is available as there is a riding school, 30 kilometres of bicycle and hiking trails, tennis and paddle courts and a property service where residents can obtain maintenance.

LA ZAGALETA: For those who want privacy.

JUST above the pretty little town of Benahavis is the Benahavis Hills Country Club which caters to owners of the newly built villas within its boundaries.

It is not a large development but the 36 detached villas and four townhouses are built to very high standards and have exceptional views of the surrounding countryside.

The club which was created for both

The spacious outdoor swimming pool.

Star (price) Michael Douglas reduces price.

wars!

NEWS that Michael Douglas has slashed the asking price for his Mallorcan estate by a third puts him in elite company among celebrities trying to shift their Spanish properties.

The Hollywood star reduced his demand for s'Estaca, an 11 bedroom, 10 bathroom affair furnished with ‘indescribable luxury’ according to the sales pitch, from €50 million to €40 million. This summer it went down again, to €36.5 million.

Douglas invested heavily in the historical property and appears determined to make at least some profit.

But he’s not the only star perhaps holding out for more than the market can muster.

On the mainland disgraced former England manager Sam Allardyce is still trying to sell his Costa Blanca villa. Big Sam’s Moraira property has five bedrooms, a wine cellar, lift and terrific views.

He went there for time to ‘reflect’ after his sacking just months into the England job and ended up deciding to sell the place. It has been on the market for €4 million since spring, with no serious interest recorded.

Back in Mallorca, another sporting star is desperately trying to raise funds. Former tennis champ Boris Becker has been declared bankrupt, making his island villa a key asset likely to be seized and sold.

1904-2017

A family dedicated to real estate for over a century Panorama, as many know, is Marbella’s longest established Real Estate Agency, founded in 1970, with a reputation for providing a highly professional and quality service to its buyer and seller clients that stands alongside those of the best agencies in the world.

FOUNDING FATHER: B B CLover in 1904.

HAT most people are unaware of is that Christopher Clover, Panorama’s owner and Managing Director, comes from a three generationold family of real estate agents and entrepreneurs. The fourth generation of professionals, Christopher’s children, Alex and Katinka, have also recently joined Panorama.

Here is an abridged chronology of the company’s amazing story.

1904 - B B Clover opens his first real estate agency headquartered in Chicago on Evanston Avenue (later at 69 W Washington Avenue in the Chicago Title and Trust Building) followed by a second branch in the town of Itasca with the intention of developing Itasca into a desirable place to build a home and enjoy a comfortable suburban lifestyle.

1925 - One of the first golf course developers in the United States, B B Clover built a golf course and a clubhouse on the land originally owned by the first settler in the area of Itasca. The Itasca Country Club still stands today as one of the most luxurious establishments of the Chicago suburbs.

1926 - B B Clover’s grand plan to develop Itasca as a glamorous Chicago suburb in the 1920’s included building a handsome half-timbered commercial building, today a landmark in the town’s Historical District.

PIONEER: Bill Clover in 1985.

W

Panorama opened its first real estate office in Marbella in 1970.

1939 - Williston L Clover moves to Charlottesville, Virginia and becomes a Black Angus Cattle Farmer and Tennis Professor at the University of Virginia.

Williston H Clover, Chris’s older brother, was born.

1952 - B B Clover and his son Williston (Bill) L Clover open the Clover Realty Company in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The company is still in business today, although under different ownership, in its original building in the town’s historical Court Square.

FAMILY AFFAIR: Chris (c), Katinka and Alex.

1966 - Panorama International Ltd. is formed in Washington DC and is the first company to offer international properties and developments to investors in the United States.

1968 - Bill Clover acquires Panorama International Ltd. 1970 - Panorama International opens Marbella’s first international real estate office in the Edificio Capitol at Avenida Ricardo Soriano, 1.

1971 - Christopher Clover joins his father and brother at Panorama International in 1971 in Washington DC. 1973 - Christopher Clover takes over Panorama International’s offices in Marbella 1975 - Christopher Clover forms an independent company, decides to transform the long-term goals of the Marbella office, and begins the marketing of prestige properties in the area.

1990’s - Panorama capitalises on its success and reputation and opens offices in the most prestigious areas of Marbella, at the Puente Romano Hotel and directly opposite the Marbella Club Hotel.

1995 - Panorama launches one of the first Internet websites specific to the Marbella area.

2001 - Alex Clover joins Panorama to help fine-tune the company’s image and implement a series of internal improvements. Today he is List-

ings Consultant and Advisor to the Company.

2004 - Panorama launches its magazine ‘The Marbella Property Magazine.’

In addition to the award-winning market report written by Christopher Clover, it contains other interesting articles both for buyers and sellers, as well as an excellent selection of properties differentiating itself from most real estate magazines which are mere catalogues of properties.

2008-2009 - Panorama continues to expand its ‘dream team’ with the appointment of Sean Cannon, Frédéric Saubadu, Walter Fernández Romer and Vedran Canjuga as Sales Consultants, Sorin Mailat as Rentals Consultant and Alfonso Muñoz as Administration Assistant.

We can help with NIE and residencia SHOULD you apply for NIE or residency?

New arrivals in Spain are surprised at how often they will be asked for their NIE number. Whether they are opening a bank account, buying a mobile phone or changing utility bills into their name, they will be asked for this number. Everyone who lives in Spain, whether full-time or parttime will have to get their NIE but the confusion often arises when the term ‘residencia’ is put into the mix. Many peo p l e a r e u n s u r e which one to a p p l y for.

If you are staying for more than three months, then you need ‘residencia.’

What is an NIE? NIE or ‘Número de Identificación de Extranjero,’ is a foreigner’s identification number. You will be asked for your NIE when signing contracts, petitions, you will need it to work in Spain and for your SIP health card.

By law, the decree (Real Decreto 3381990) says everyone, regardless of their nationality or being a resident or non-resident, who has any ‘official business’ in Spain, must have a fiscal number - So anyone who has professional, economic or so-

cial interests in the country will need a NIE. What is the diffe re nc e bet ween an NIE and ‘residencia’?

Whether you need an NIE or ‘residencia’ will depend on how long you intend to stay in Spain. If you stay for less than 90 days at a time, you need an NIE number.

You will need to make an appointment at your local Oficina de Extranjero or police station, where you will be asked to fill out a modelo 790-12 form and asked to produce your passport and copies.

If you are staying for more than three months than you need ‘residencia’, which means filling in the EX18 application form. In both cases, you will get your NIE number but ‘residencia’ means you are issued with a ‘Certificado de Registro de Ciudadano de La Unión’ - certificate of registration in the EU Foreigners Register in Spain - which does not have an expiry

date. Your NIE number is for life but the expiry date is put in to encourage people to take up residency.

Getting residency is more complicated than an NIE because you need to prove you are self-sufficient. Each office has different procedures and you could be asked for bank statements proving you are getting a pension paid in or proof that you have funds to support yourself; evidence of private health care; work contract; passport plus copies; completed EX18 form and the receipt to show you have paid the modelo 790-12.

Even if you have ‘residencia’ it does not mean you are a Spanish tax resident. That is a different matter, although if you live most of the year in Spain then you should be a tax resident in this country.

Please get in touch if you would like help to get your NIE, ‘residencia’ or to discuss becoming a tax resident in Spain.

HAYLEE: Please get in touch if you would like our help.

Marbella Moments

by Nicole King STICKS and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me may no longer be true.

According to Dr Masaru Emoto, Japanese researcher, the truth is that words can actually do a lot of harm, to us, to those around us and to the environment.

His studies and experiments have shown that our words have so much power they can even alter the molecular structure of water - a substance that covers 71 per cent of our planet’s surface and makes up some 65 per cent of the adult human body, which renders his discoveries very relevant and more than significant.

By understanding and sharing the conclusion reached by Masuru from analysing frozen water droplets, (from distilled water

samples in a controlled environment and from taps, lakes and rivers etc) under a powerful microscope, we can realise that even our intentions and thoughts, words and prayers can either resonate in harmony with the beauty of nature, or not.

Many of us say words without thinking, such as “I hate being stuck in traffic,” or “I hate being late,” but as it turns out, saying the word “hate” carries an energy that can turn a frozen drop of water into ugly, sinister looking shapes when observed under a microscope.

Polluted water when frozen and examined in the same way creates the similar ugly patterns in dull opaque colours as did the water exposed to an abusive word or phrase.

Dr Masaru Emoto believed water contains messages and showed that water exposed to harmonious, classical music and positive affirmations produced brilliant, unique, diamond formations and, that prayer could

Would you want to eat your words?

A BAD JAR of rice at the end of the experiment. transform ugly polluted water molecules into beautiful snowflake and diamond crystals after being blessed; a message of hope in itself.

So dare we ever speak a negative word again? Perhaps by trying this simple experiment at home will help you decide. I found it hard to follow through as I didn’t like insulting even the jar of rice, but if you can go through with it, you’ll be amazed at the results - I promise!

1. Put some boiled rice into three separate jam jars.

2. Label one jar with the words I LOVE YOU, another with I HATE YOU and the third, leave blank.

3. Pour tap water into the three jars, covering the rice and seal with the lid.

4. Separate the jars (@ 30 cms apart) and say the corresponding words written on the jar directly to that jar, every day, for 30 days. (Ignore the unlabelled jar).

When you see the results, what the negative ‘vibe’ has done to the rice, then take a moment to think: so what’s it doing

to me, to my body? What does that look like on the inside after a lifetime of subjection to these negative energies?

If you take a look at the image

of a bad jar of rice after completing the experiment, I think it’s obvious that it could be pretty nasty to actually have to eat our own words.

It’s holiday time again. Have you got that Liberty feeling?

ONCE again, summer is here with a vengeance.

Temperatures soar and with the influx of tourists, you have to keep your wits about you at all times when driving.

Holidaymakers who rent a car, may also be driving on the opposite side of the road to their home country, like the British, so you need to be extra vigilant and try to anticipate their possible mistakes. One very common incident happens on roundabouts where drivers take the wrong lane. For example, if you want to carry straight on then it’s best to take the outside lane, and if you intend to turn left, take the inside lane.

What many people do, is take the outside lane with the intention of turning left but the driver on the inside lane who is going straight on, has to be very careful to avoid a collision with the vehicle going all the way round.

Aside from the inevitable increase in traffic accidents with the huge influx of tourists from around the world, you need to make sure your car is up to scratch too.

For example, always make sure that your tyre pressures are correct by checking them at least once a month especially as road surfaces become very hot indeed and will affect the pressures. Needless to say, check the tyres too and make sure they are in good condition with enough tread. Also check the car’s radiator water level; the last thing you want is to overheat if

HOLIDAY TIME: Keep your wits about you when driving at all times. you’re stuck in a queue and worse still have to wait for a breakdown truck. It’s also illegal to run out of screen-wash so keep this topped up.

Driving with flip-flops or shoes without backs is not permitted either. Obviously seat belts must be worn all round and children need safety harnesses. And stating the obvious too, mobile phones must not be used for speaking (unless using a built-in hands-free device) and definitely no texting!

If you do have an accident, remember

the following: Stay calm and use the reflective vest.

Use your vehicle’s emergency flashers and use two warning triangles at appropriate distances from the vehicle. Stay away from oncoming traffic.

Call 112 if necessary.

Take photos of the incident when safe to do so.

Get statements and contact information from any witnesses.

Complete the accident report forms.

“It won’t happen to me...!” Will you be worry-free, or risk a travel trauma?

WHO doesn’t love a holiday? Whether visiting family or friends, or getting away from it all on a rural retreat, Travel Insurance may be the last thing on your mind when planning your next break. After all, it’s tempting to think “it won’t happen to me”... but trust us when we say “it just might…”

As we approach peak holiday season, we see plenty of examples of Globelink customers needing assistance while away, so don’t leave yourself out on a limb for your next trip.

Last year UK Insurers paid out a whopping £365 million for overseas medical treatment, cancelled trips, stolen baggage and other travel troubles. But it’s not just about financial protection. Did you know that most Travel Insurance Policies have a 24/7 Emergency Assistance Service to help with emergencies while abroad?

They are the unsung heroes of Travel Insurance who become your closest friend if you have a travel mishap. Assistance Companies have experienced multilingual teams

to handle any situation our intrepid customers throw at them, with specialist Doctors to monitor and advise on all medical cases and medical repatriations.

Whether it’s holiday tummy, or a serious, life threatening illness or injury, they are there 24 hours a day to arrange emergency treatment, cover costs and find flights if you need to rush back for an emergency at home. This requires a mind boggling array of skills including empathy, ingenuity, efficiency, tact and diplomacy in equal measure. Calls are often from very distressed customers with loved ones ill or injured and the team must show compassion, whilst also obtaining the information necessary to validate insurance cover and arrange the right support.

Here are two recent genuine examples of Globelink customers who called for help: #1) Whilst in Nashville, Mr D called the Assistance team because his wife had a fever. A hospital visit was arranged and Mrs D seen by a doctor. The assistance doctor and treating doctor agreed that Mrs

D was not fit to travel home to France as planned the following day. Medical costs of £3,750 were covered and the assistance team stayed in touch until Mrs D was well enough to travel. Flights and transfers home were then duly arranged and paid for.

Mr D later wrote “sincere thank you to everyone who helped get my wife home safely after her illness. The quality of service, speed of response, friendliness and dedication have been truly impressive.”

Great feedback from Mr D. #2) James, aged 21, was injured in a boating accident in New Zealand and suffered a fractured shoulder and broken leg. He was admitted to hospital and throughout his stay the Assistance team kept in touch and supported James in completing all necessary accident forms and formalities. Medical costs were covered too.

The team also kept James’ parents in Spain updated of progress, which was invaluable due to time difference. Once James was fit enough to travel, all repa-

triation arrangements were made, including an attendant to accompany James on the journey home to provide assistance every step of the way. Flights, transfers and medical costs of £13,750 were covered by his Globelink policy. James’ father subsequently wrote thanking the Assistance team “for their support and professionalism which was second to none.” Can’t get better than that!

So do yourself a favour and don’t skimp on getting decent travel insurance to protect you and your loved ones. Take as many trips as you like in a year with a Globelink Annual Multi Trip policy, starting at under £60 at www.globelink.co.uk.

NIKKI RAE returns to La Sala Gibraltar on Saturday evening with her incredible Adele tribute act. Looking and sounding like Britain’s incredibly successful singer, Nikki takes time to explain the story behind some of Adele’s most emblematic performances so that the audience becomes part of the event.

Nuclear submarine repair cost millions of pounds InfoGibraltar.com

INFORMATION has been released concerning the cost of £3 million for repairs following a collision between HMS Ambush and a merchant ship last year.

The £1 billion nuclear submarine was submerged and sailing away from Gibraltar when it struck a chemical tanker some three nautical miles off Gibraltar and had to make a very speedy return for damage assessment.

After a week of review, the unloading of weapons and a number of complaints from Spanish observers about the possibility of radiation leaks, it was decided that no significant damage had been done and the submarine set off back to the UK for repair.

It has now been suggested that the accident occurred during a training period for potential new submarine commanders which would explain a possible reason

THE Samaritans have now opened a new anonymous telephone line in Gibraltar thanks to a generous donation to the group from the government. This money will assist the Samaritans in training volunteers who will then man the dedicated phone line.

Chairperson Mrs Marielou Guerrero thanked the government for their enthusiasm and support.

Brexit and Spain JUNIOR BREXIT minister Robin Walker responded to a question in Parliament saying that the UK government has not met with Spanish counterparts to discuss Gibraltar. As far as the UK is concerned, Gibraltar is part of the UK exit negotiations with the European Union and Britain will have full regard to its interests without separate reference to Spain.

Division Two MIDFIELD player and international Liam Walker has been signed by Notts County, the oldest professional football club in the world which plays in League Division Two. The Gibraltar international who was previously with Portsmouth has been on trial with the club, playing in preseason friendlies against Nottingham Forest and Wigan Athletic, and has impressed enough to be offered a contract at Meadow Lane.

UNDAMAGED: HMS Ambush in Gibraltar. for its sensors being unable to alert the pilot to the imminent collision.

Whilst the damage was dismissed as negligible, the overall bill which was ac-

tually £3.4 million when miscellaneous equipment and accommodation costs are added will however have to be paid by the British taxpayer.

Continued crackdown on cigarette smuggling WHEN a reporter from the Gibraltar Broadcasting Company was filming at Western Beach, his cameraman noticed two young men running along the beach carrying heavy bags.

Samaritans Helpline

THE government has deployed 26 recycling units across six beaches. Each recycling unit contains four bins to take care of all forms of recyclable waste as well as general rubbish. Litter on beaches is a significant environmental problem. It can cause injuries to people on land and if in the sea, becomes marine litter.

CIGARETTES: Seized from just one beach operation. were loaded onto a motor scooter which shot off.

Probably because this video received massive social media exposure, plain

clothes officers from Customs and Excise visited the beach the following day and saw the same men plus a third running and

carrying heavy bags.

In total three men and two women, all Spanish nationals were arrested and 209 cartons of cigarettes worth £4,000 and a scooter were seized.

Subsequent to this, the hole in the fence has been repaired, increased surveillance has been announced and there will be a general strengthening of legislation concerning the possession of commercial licences to sell tobacco.

Microbead ban FOLLOWING widespread condemnation of the use of microbeads in personal care products, the Gibraltar government has announced plans to consider ways of banning their importation. These little beads of plastic are found in a whole range of facial and body scrubs but they cannot be filtered at treatment plants and therefore end up in drinking water or in the sea forming pollutants.

Dastis’s Campo visit to discuss the future ALERT to the fears that exist in the Campo de Gibraltar over the forthcoming Brexit, Spanish Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis will visit various towns there in September.

It is common knowledge that Gibraltar is the second largest employer of Spanish workers in the Campo and it is believed that at least 10,000 people make the trip across the border to take up work every day.

A high proportion of these workers hail from La Linea and the surrounding towns and with the relative poverty of the local councils, any threat to the livelihood of these workers has worried the councillors and made them work together and meet with the Gibraltar government to discuss the future.

MADDOCKS’ VIEW ON LIFE

‘

The reason women don’t play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public.’

By Phyllis Diller, Actress/Stand up comedian

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Primarily, you are wanting to see some appreciation. That is understandable given the efforts that you have made. Do not be annoyed, however, if it is a while coming yet. Others are not always as well tuned in as you. If necessary, use a gobetween discreetly to make sure of progress.

They were too close to the door to close it.

1. Tortilla Española Usually described as an omelette, anyone who has tried this will tell you it’s so much more! Made with potatoes and usually flavoured with onions, as tapas they are commonly served in wedges.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS

Famous quote

THE origin of tapas may be linked to when King Alfonso X El Sabio (the Wise) was ill and needed to have small snacks in between meals in order to recover.

There’s a multitude of savoury, sweet and spicy tapas to taste here in Spain. These dishes may be small in size but they are packed full of flavour and a great way to explore dishes without feeling too stuffed!

Tapas dishes sizzling olive oil with garlic and chilli peppers. Don’t forget to dip your bread - don’t waste a drop!

5. Patatas Bravas These are served across Spain, though how they are served can depend on the region. The pota-

TOP 5 toes are cut and fried in oil before being served with either a spicy tomato-based sauce or alongside aioli.

4. Gazpacho A cold soup, perfect in this summer heat. Garlic, onions, peppers and cucumbers are chopped and mixed with olive oil and vinegar to create this refreshing dish.

Increased activity in your love life means less time to really concentrate on business. Make sure that priority financial matters are dealt with. Not doing so will see you kicking yourself later on. A close relationship is going well. There’s no reason to wonder why, the charm offensive is obviously working.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Keeping an eye on your health is particularly important at the moment.

Because you have been active, it could be that you need to give yourself a bit of time. Pampering and just plain relaxing are all going to stand you in good stead during the coming week.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)

2. Croquetas These fried balls of yumminess are served across bars and restaurants in Spain. They can come with a variety of meat, fish, and vegetable fillings.

Some of the most popular include ham and cod.

3. Gambas pil pil If you’re after a flavourful mouthful that packs a punch, this is the dish for you. Fried prawns are cooked in

TORTILLA: So much more than an omelette.

Opening your mind to a new idea has convinced you that it is time for a change in direction. This is such a time, but not all changes will be permanent. Give yourself a way out of any situation this week. Using your tact and charm, it will require only a little application to please everyone.

Improvising within a new business situation may not give you the perfect answer to a problem. What it will do, however, is give you an insight into the way others live.

Until now, your approach to life may have been a little one-sided.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A recent holiday has set your mind racing. This being a romantic time means that you can get a little overexcited. Your romance may not be set to last but you should fully enjoy it

nonetheless. Relatives issue words of warning but they have only your best interests at heart.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Opposing opinions on a matter close to your heart see you hesitating. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice. The chances are that you know someone who has already been through your situation. Don’t let pride make you miss out on a solution.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Not everything in the garden is rosy but you are made of strong stuff. Your conviction that something is right helps you in discussions. Support given to a loved one may be misguided, especially if it is a huge financial gamble.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a time to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Don’t forget, along the way, to congratulate yourself for all that you have achieved in the last year. Sometimes you do not blow your own trumpet and people appreciate you in a quiet way.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) An appetite for something new means that you tread unknown ground. It’s an exciting time when you may find it easier to do things alone. This does not mean you have to feel alone as others can be told of your progress.

SAGITARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Part of being ‘you’ is your independent mind. Some may try to change that this week. Why would someone want to make you more dependent on them? Could it be that they feel insecure?

Giving reassurance may be all that is needed. We all feel the need for appreciation.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Trying to be everything to all people is tiring. No one knows this more than you.

Give yourself a little time and space this week because it will make a great difference to your spirits.

Put brake on rising tolls SIR, Yo u r s t o r y A P 7 t a k e s i t s t o l l (Issue 1969) highlighted that it is illegal for the motorway operators to increase charges when business improves... and yet this has been going on for years to my knowledge.

I have always felt sorry for touring foreign holidaymakers who, wishing to perhaps reach their final destination as fast as possible, find themselves (unwittingly) paying more than twice as much as if they used the same road out of the main summer months.

Local residents at least know and therefore have the option to steer clear of such profiteering, unlike tourists.

It is time to put the squeeze on the toll road operators so they stop cheating summer users.

HAVE YOUR SAY

True dilemma

Give new builds parking spaces WITH the recession appearing to now be well behind us, there is an obvious resurgence in local construction.

While many might question the need for more new apartments with seemingly the majority often left empty for much of each year by foreign owners - I doubt Spain will ever ban construction while extra focus is given on selling the remaining unsolds.

If new builds are therefore set to continue, why does the Spanish government not make it law that every new property MUST have allocated either a private parking space, or a garage.

As the nation becomes ever more

NEW BUILDS: Should have allocated parking spaces. popular - as indicated with the increasing number of tourists –- availability of general parking in cities, towns and villages is becoming ever more precious.

All letters by email or post should carry the writer’s address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published.

Just a thought, but surely a sensible, and practical one for a better future.

Fines and tough regulations hit Spain’s beaches WELL, we have police cycle along the boardwalk here, and they never seem to see the infringements we see. Guess funds are not low enough just yet?

Best not to smile when in the sea.

Mike AS a resident I tend to avoid the beaches this time of year however maybe the local authorities should give due consideration to where the bulk of their income is derived... it's not olives and oranges!!!

As far as pee’ing in the sea!!!! Only the judiciary of Marbella could come up with such a redicilously unenforceable rule.

Drew Edgar

WIDENING the road, reducing the speed limit and then introducing a speed camera, sounds like the normal police cash cow to me.

Mr Hurford

Murcia nudism ban to go ahead despite opposition

Airports warn of European flight suspensions post-Brexit

THE research evidence is very clear but still politicians persist in pandering to prejudice.

Does San Pedro del Pinatar want the body-attitude related outcomes of countries such as Denmark or those of the USA? I f i t wa n t s a p p a l l i n g o u t c o m e s t h e n i t i s going the right way about it. Naturism is good for you and prudery results in nothing

IF this happened the EU and UK industries wou ld g rin d to a h alt as no tra de wou ld be done as the representatives of businesses in all these areas would not be able to travel. Also the care sector would suffer as a lot of livein care workers travel between Europe and the UK, myself being one of them.

WITH regard to the letter Sharp lesson from family nanny (Issue 1672) My vies to the writer C Walker are: What a dilemma your lawyer and accountant friends must have had to realise that the children’s ‘Nanny’ sat in, as you put it, in the ‘power throne’ when the family went on holiday!

Maybe a better solution might have been leaving the nanny at home, then the ‘tough nut’ lawyer, (your words) and her accountant husband could have spent the holiday giving the children their undivided quality time without worrying if the nanny would leave, or hold them to some kind of emotional ransom.

Modern times you said, seems more reminiscent of olden times to me.

A dilemma indeed....

Philip, San Fulgencio

Shut up shop RE the letter on Summer Sunday opening (EWN Issue 1671), this has been allowed now for many years, and is allowed for July, August, September, also at Christmas and Easter times. I would not want the shops to start opening every Sunday, as they are open from 10 am-10 pm Monday to Saturday, which I would think is enough time for anyone to do their shopping, so I hope Spain does not follow other European countries.

Valerie Imossi Mijas Costa

Clear the air APART from the obvious effect on local traffic movement, bad enough in itself, there is another, more insidious penalty being imposed on residents and visitors alike.

Pollution, now known to cause countless premature deaths and impaired lives but, probably because we have become used to it over the years as an inescapable consequence of ‘progress,’ largely ignored.

Where I live, in Altea, particularly at this time of year, the fumes around the N332 from the traffic queues are eye watering. More than incongruous considering the much vaunted ‘exceptionally clean air’ for which this area is famed, just a few metres away on the promenade!

Sing your way to happiness HOBBIES have always been known to boost your mood; partaking in some time out of work and responsibilities to do something you enjoy, and joining a choir now seems to be the latest mood booster.

A new study in Australia has found that joining a choir can help fight against sadness and boost emotions.

The Australian scientists asked volunteers suffering from mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety to take part in their study and try different s o cia l a rts based activities.

Singing was found to boost the immune system with just one hour of singing increasing levels of the immune proteins that help the body to battle illness significantly.

Each activity was undertaken once a week over nearly three months and volunteers were asked to describe how they felt at different points of the day to measure the effects of th e a c tivity w ith s inging s how n to boost emotions. They found that writing poems in a group also made

people happier and the scientists believe their findings could pave the way for more participation in artsbased groups to beat the blues.

Doctor Mario Arques

The Beauty Expert

ATENZIA: Has launched a campaign which includes advice and recommendations to help stay cool in the heat.

Dr Mario Arques Jiménez.

Onychomycosis (foot fungus) What is onychomycosis?

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nails (mainly the toe nails) which affects 18 per cent of the adult population (and up to half above the age of 70).

What causes onychomycosis?

The key risk factors that can lead to the onset of onychomycosis are: ageing, moisture, other skin diseases (such as psoriasis, ringworm and athlete’s foot) and genetic susceptibility.

Given that the perfect breeding ground for fungus is moisture and heat, there is a greater risk of developing onychomycosis during the summer months.

What are the symptoms of onychomycosis?

Onychomycosis typically starts with discoloration or distortion of the nail. In general, the nail will turn yellow and become thicker.

Because the infection initially causes no pain, patients are often slow when it comes to consulting with

their GP, and when they do onychomycosis has spread to all of the patient’s toenails. As a result, it is advisable to seek advice as soon as the initial symptoms are observed.

What treatments are there for onychomycosis?

Onychomycosis infection is conventionally treated using antifungal drugs or topical antifungal preparations.

Nevertheless, the treatment period is long-drawn-out.

In the case of drugs, the drawback is that they have to be administered over an extended period in order to be effective and they are contraindicated for some patients.

The third option is laser treatment, which is safe, painless and effective. Only three or four sessions are needed in order to clear up the infection. It is a highly appealing alternative solution for both doctors and patients as there are no side effects and no post-treatment recovery period is required.

Beating loneliness this summer SOME 1.9 million people aged over 65 live alone in Spain, a figure which has increased. That’s according to the la te s t C ontinuous H ous e hold Surve y of the National Statistics Institute (INE).

They said the summer can be particularly lonely for the elderly as the heat can weaken their physical state and increase their vulnerability. They are also affected by the loss of the ir s oc ia l ne tw ork a s friends, relatives and caregivers go on holiday.

As a result, Atenzia has launched its summer campaign which includes advice a nd re c omme nda tions to help stay cool in the heat, avoid fraud and increase security and have organised workshops and activities to promote socialisation.

MANY adults are turning away from gyms due to back pain.

Around two-fifths of adults in the UK said they avoided exercise because of pain in the lower back according to a survey of more than 2,000 adults which was commissioned by the British Chiropractic Association.

However they said that the spine is naturally strong and moderate exercise, when done correctly, can help to build and maintain its strength and posture and actually protect you from further pain in the long run.

Meanwhile the Association reminds people that changes in lifestyle are also affecting back health, with fashion maybe more a concern than hitting the gym.

Current fashions are changing the way women walk and this is having a detrimental impact on their health. Skinny jeans for example, restrict the movement of the knees and hips which puts extra pressure on the back. High heels are also often criticised for the pressure they put on feet and back

Are you one of them? when walking.

Mobile phone use has also recently been highlighted as a cause of back pain with people hunched over looking at their phone screens.

Back pain is one of the most common ailments with four in five people expected to suffer at some point in their lifetime. So what can you do to help prevent aches and pains in your back but still want to work out?

Be safe. If you exercise at the gym make use of the professional staff they have.

When signing up for the first time, everyone should be shown how to use the equipment efficiently and safely by a qualified instructor.

Don’t overdo it. Your body can do a lot and whilst you need to push it at times, remember you are not an Olympic athlete and listen to your body. Take things slowly, particularly when starting out and ask an instructor to

advise on a safe way of training to push yourself without going beyond your body’s limitations.

Warm up and cool down.

Most injuries are caused not from the actual exercise itself but from the body’s muscles not being correctly warmed up and cooled down before and after.

Try yoga. Yoga is now being widely recommended by experts to strengthen the back and medical professionals are even ‘prescribing’ it to ease pain rather than handing out painkillers and medication.

Good posture. Even if not at the gym, you can practise stronger back health. Try and correct your posture, stand up straight, don’t slump over your desk at work and use a chair that provides firm support for your lower back with knees ideally a little higher than your hips when you sit.

BACK PAIN: Try and correct your posture.

Phone reminders AN initiative has launched in Zaragoza to help remind patients to take their medication.

A group of nurses has developed the programme aimed at particularly helping diabetic patients and those who suffer from depression. They plan to carry out telephone support interventions as a means of helping patients to better comply with their medical treatment

and remind them to take their medication.

The scheme will initially run for 18 months as a trial to see how effective it is with patients following their treatment plan. They will receive regular calls to check their progress and remind them of their treatment.

The pl an has been devel oped at t he University of Zaragoza.

Hip Pain

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com THE hip or acetabilofemoral joint inc l u d e s o v e r 7 0 d i ff e r e n t ligaments, tendons, muscles and bones and is (with the shoulder) the most flexible joint in the body, slightly different in men and women.

Where’s the pain?

C o n f u s i n g l y, t h e a r e a that most of us refer to as our hip is actually the pelvis bone. The hip joint itself is deep into the groin.

So ‘true’ hip joint pain is usually felt as pain into the groin.

But my hip still hurts!

Pain in the outer thigh, buttock or lower back is often attributed to a prob-

lem in the hip joint. But they can be quite separate issues.

The way you move and walk can also affect your hip.

Bursitis, tendonitis, sciatica, Iliotibial Band Syndrome, referred pain from the lower back or knee . . . these all cause pain in the hip area which isn’t anything to do with the hip joint.

So, as I’ve said again and again, a full and proper physical assessment is important - an X-

ray might well show some mild arthritic changes in the hip joint but these might not be causing the current symptoms.

And you can spend a LOT of money and time on the best treatment available but if you are treating the wrong part of the body . . . it’s not going to get better.

Swing your hips The way you move and walk can also affect your hip. I regularly use video gait analysis to help my patients understand the connection between how their feet, knees, hips and lower back function.

Referred pain from feet, knees and back can

cause a lot of hip pain.

N o i t ’s d e f i n i t e l y arthritis in my hip There are three main routes forward depending on how severe the osteoarthritis is: 1. Do nothing - not my favourite but it is always an option.

2. Get a hip replacement if the joint is severely damaged - but please make sure you get proper rehabilitation afterwards so you don’t end up with back and knee problems in the future!

3. Magnetic Resonance Therapy - this regenerates the cartilage, ligaments and tendons within the joint and also reduces the painful bone swelling.

For more information on hip pain and how to solve it please see our blog – www.TheBodyworksClinic.com/blog or call us on 952 883 151

Gentle exercise is necessary and needed when pregnant EXERCISE: Reduces chance of a Caesarean.

W O M EN w ho e xe rc is e w he n they are pregnant can reduce the chance of needing a C a e s a re a n by 10 per cent.

Evide nc e ga the re d from a round 12,500 women in 16 countries found that mothers-tobe who do gentle exercise during their pregnancy such as aerobics, walking or using a bike machine, and eat a healthy diet are more likely to have a natural birth.

Currently, around one in four births in the UK are by Caesarean which, although regarded as very safe, can carry the risk of complications.

Expe rts s a id tha t ma ny w ome n wrongly believe they should be ‘eating for tw o’ w he n pre gna nt a nd 47 pe r c e nt of w ome n put on too muc h weight, raising the risk of a Caesarean.

But regular exercise significantly reduces the mother’s weight gain and babies are not at risk from exercise. Although, it is always advised to stop exercising if you feel unwell or become so breathless you cannot talk.

Heat rash

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte.

WHAT is heat rash?

Heat rash is an eruption of red skin that can sometimes be itchy but generally doesn’t have any symptoms. It usually appears in areas where skin rubs on a surface, and from high body temperatures in areas such as the armpits, inner thighs, elbows, knees and also in the torso where more sweat accumulates.

What are its symptoms?

Usually heat rash appears as patches of bumpy, red skin in areas where the body sweats the most. In general it does not tend to hurt, however the areas can become itchy and irritating when they are still wet from sweat or from wearing tight fighting clothes. It very rarely gets infected.

How can you treat it?

Heat rash tends to dis-

sipate without any treatment, however in some cases ointments with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories help reduce the swelling. In extreme cases corticoids or antihistamines may need to be used to combat swelling and itching.

Who are the most likely to get heat rash?

Anyone can get heat rash however those who are most at risk tend to be people with very light skin, children and the elderly.

Can it be prevented?

You can prevent, or reduce the frequency of heat rash. Firstly it is essential to keep your skin clean and completely dry. Fresh cotton clothing avoids irritation caused by rubbing. Always keeping your skin hydrated also helps, as well as avoiding overexposure to heat and staying in cool areas.

Craig David flies in

By John Smith NOW with 12 albums under his belt, Craig David rose to fame at the age of 18 when recording with the Artful Dodger and he has gone from strength to strength.

Whilst still singing, he is also a very talented DJ who will be bringing his TS5 celebration to La Sala by the Sea in Marbella next Friday July 28.

TS5 began in the comforts of Craig David’s own home in Miami where he hosted and acted as DJ at weekly house parties, which he then chose to share with the world via Soundcloud.

This led to Craig jetting across the world presenting TS5 in some of

the best and most fashionable venues around, so this evening, promoted by The Mayfair Sessions at La Sala by the Sea will certainly rank amongst the most memorable.

There has been a very strong response to the announcement of this visit by Craig David and TS5, so tickets are very limited but may still be available from

http://bit.ly/CraigDavidLSBTS. If you can’t make this exciting evening, don’t forget that La Sala Group has five fantastic venues in Marbella/Puerto Banus, including La Sala by the Sea with the latest being the spectacular Tiki orientated Mahiki Beach in the Puerto Maritimo in Marbella.

The original La Sala offers great food and entertainment seven days a week, whilst for a more chilled atmosphere, nothing could be better than the Oak Bar and Grill.

For late

night dancing and music visit Aqwa Mist with all three in the Banus area and within a few minutes’ walk of each other.

Finally, if you are heading to Gibraltar then don’t miss La Sala Gibraltar which is on board the luxury five star Sunborn Floating Hotel.

Top Thai guarantees top food UNLIKE some restaurants which offer a mix of different Asian dishes badly, Top Thai (named after chef Mr Top) just offers exceptional Thai food.

The original concept when the restaurant was first set up was to offer good value, tasty and genuine Thai food from a restaurant run by a family that understood the cuisine but success brought the need to expand.

Moving from a kiosk, the newly decorated Top Thai Restaurant in the Centro Plaza of Nueva Andalucia with a terrace for the summer and room to seat up to 80 guests was opened in 2013 and is constantly busy.

The restaurant is simple, clean and friendly with tasteful Thai inspired decoration and a staff who understand the food that is being offered whilst presenting the traditional Thai politeness to all that they serve.

The menu contains a mixture of the traditional with a few unexpected dishes added but each of the recipes are based on one or more of the Thai main ingredients including coriander, chilli, lemongrass and shallots as well as some of the aromatic sauces that Thailand is famous for.

Make sure to explain if you have any nut al-

TOP THAI: Both restaurants offer a high standard of service and delicious food. lergies or like your food hot or mild as the restaurant will do all that it can to meet your requirements and includes a number of fish and vegetarian dishes for those who want to keep away from meat.

Mr Top continues to oversee all of the preparation of the food and is proud that Top Thai is rated one of the very best restaurants in the

Nueva Andalucia/Puerto Banus area by TripAdvisor, based on guest’s reviews.

Parking is easy in the Centro Plaza car park although there is a small charge made, but for most people the ease of access far outweighs the low cost.

So popular is this restaurant that they have now opened another branch just a few kilome-

tres down the road in the charming and very chic Laguna Village Estepona with free parking. Dining is both inside the smartly decorated restaurant and on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.

The menu is much the same in each establishment but both offer a high standard of service and delicious food at sensible prices Open every day from noon to midnight bookings are not always necessary but to be safe, call 951 319 778 or 672 028 210 to book your table and view Top Thai on www.topthai.es/ or for those heading to Top Thai Beach Estepona should call 952 806 661.

Thomas Onfield’s Secret with two appearing on Friday night and two on Saturday.

Children will enjoy cartoons and a number of costumed Super Heroes will encourage them to take part in a number of games and adventures.

It is important that local people and visitors enjoy this annual event and in order to encourage people to come to the Camino de Málaga, dress in white and participate in the par-

ty, there will be a raffle.

Results will be released a week after the event, but alongside meals, drinks and ice creams, there will also be a main prize of a short trip for two people.

This is part of an ongoing promotion by the council to ensure that residents enjoy the summer, visitors discover a little more about the town and local businesses benefit from the additional trade.

F

OOD poisoning is one of the most dreaded illnesses and is a nightmare for hoteliers and restaurateurs. But, despite the UK having the highest food handling standards, caterers are still making hazardous mistakes in the kitchen according to the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH).

Here in Spain we also have very high standards for handling and storage. But despite continuous training and impressing on staff how important food hygiene and handling is, basic mistakes are still made. Most of those mistakes could be avoided if common sense (that wonderful oxymoron) was implemented.

Washing your hands when going to the loo might be the obvious, but more germs are picked up from the door handles than anything so best to keep an antibacterial wash - like hospitals use - outside of the toilet area.

The invention of hand driers was meant to cut the bacteria down but it was soon discovered that if not used properly the heat on the moist hands actually increased germ spread. They are now much more efficient and hotter - which tends to kill most bacteria.

On that subject staff who contract sickness and diarrhoea, in an effort to prove what good workers they are, come back to work too early. Severe attacks take longer than 48 hours to clear the system and de-

Party time for germs! Bleach those boards. spite feeling better, bacteria can still be transmitted through body pores and finger tips.

Personal hygiene - or lack of it - is one of the many causes of illness but the handling of food can be far more dangerous. Bacteria thrives at temperatures of between 5°C and 63°C so buffet restaurants which leave their dishes out for more than an hour or two is one practice putting people’s health in danger. Never did like buffets or carverys!!

Kitchens that leave food out too long without preparing it or returning it to the fridge is another. Cross contamination when preparing different foods. Preparing raw chicken then picking up another product without washing hands thoroughly.

Chopping boards that are used for the same products. Restaurants have different colour boards for different preparations.

Fridges are checked regularly but staff have to be aware that the food inside should be probed as well.

There is an ad on TV at the moment for

Dettol (I think) where a woman is seen to be wiping down a surface with a piece of raw chicken, claiming that that is as dangerous as using a dirty dishcloth! How many of us wash our dishes and surfaces and then leave the cloth to dry overnight? Thus spreading pathogens when re-used the next day.

I remember when I employed a young chef, who had been working in a UK hospital, many years ago he said he was disillusioned with hospital kitchens as the standards of hygiene were not up to what he had been taught at college. The final straw, he said, was when the chef told him to unwrap the frozen chickens, put them on trays and put them straight into the oven. Well they do say in the UK if you want to get ill, go into a hospital.

(Next week I will write about Oysters and their relationship to food poisoning)

Imperial, it certainly is WHEN I first came to this part of the world we had little choice at the time but to drink Rioja. That or we were sufficiently uneducated as to the other wines available, although most restaurants and supermarkets relied heavily on the wines from this area. One of the wines that was among our favourites - and I can’t remember the last time I drank a bottle - was CVNE. Which is also the name of the bodega (Compania Vinicole del Norte de Espana). While CVNE itself was a good drinking wine the bodega produces some of the finest Riojas available, quality price into consideration The best known being Imperial and Viña Real.

I suppose the reason we liked these wines, having been more accustomed to drinking French wines, was that

On that note! I will bid you farewell until next week and should aspiring restaurateurs need some help or advice, please do not hesitate to contact me. A toast to Good Food, Good Wine and Good Friends.

Imperial had a very Bordeaux style and the Viña Real, Burgundy. Years 2009/2010 are two of the best vintages in the Rioja; and the Gran Reservas of both these wines have made their mark on the wine buffs; With Robert Parker and James Suckling both rating them in the high nineties. While buying a very quaffable CUNE roble or crianza will only set you back seven or eight euro, the Gran Reservas will be a special treat at around 50€ a bottle. Saludos.

CHUCK IT: Plastic or biodegradable? SUCK IT. IN a bid to further reduce the amount of plastic that litters our world, some pub chains in the UK have replaced their plastic drinking straws with biodegradable paper straws. The Liberation Group claims that it is the largest pub group to make such a move, phasing plastic straws out from all of its 100-strong pub estate across the Channel Islands and the West Country.

Explaining their decision, Liberation pointed out that plastic straws are made from polypropylene - a petroleum product designed to last forever. The straws are particularly harmful to marine life, with more than one million sea birds and a hundred thousand marine mammals killed by plastic waste each year.

As discussed on this page over recent months, there are more than five trillion pieces of plastic floating in the world’s oceans, according to a 2014 study published in a Public Library of Science journal.

Marine experts fear there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050, measured by weight, according to a factsheet from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK-based charity working to end waste in the economy. As part of Plastic Free July, the Liberation Group is supporting the local ‘Straws Suck!’ campaign. The campaign involves stopping the use of plastic straws and switching to biodegradable alternatives. Liberation pubs will be encouraging their customers to join the campaign and cut plastic waste through social media and on its pub blackboards with the #refusethestraw hashtag.

Jayson Perfect, - great name - managing director - Pubs and Inns said: “Our pubs use millions of straws each year, so we see the switch really benefiting the environment. Plastic straws are a blight on our coastlines, marine life and our oceans. This is a problem which is entirely avoidable. As an Island company who supports many charitable organisations, I feel we also have a moral obligation to support helping marine mammal life where possible.”

Liberation Group’s move follows a similar one by Oakman Inns and Restaurants, which banned plastic straws in April this year. It also offers eco-friendly alternatives. (some content thanks to the Caterer and Hotelkeeper)

MANY people have miniature jungles on their balconies and roof terraces but if you’re not particularly green-fingered and want to have a crack at ‘growing your own,’ mini herb gardens are a great way to start.

Balconies can be perfect as

usually, they get plenty of light and sunshine to help out even the most novice gardeners.

Although many supermarkets sell herbs, they have probably been sitting under fluorescent lights for a while so try to buy from a garden

If space is limited, try to buy the same amount of potting mix as you need for your pot. Leftover bags of soil just

take up space.

Herbs can be planted in any sort of container - window boxes, troughs or even a bucket - as long as they have holes

in them for drainage. Small buckets are great, as they can be taken straight into the kitchen for cooking.

It is easier to plant one herb per pot. If you do mix them in a pot, don’t put rosemary and mint together as they have a

tendency to take over.

Picking the leaves of your herbs will encourage further growth and you will be rewarded with well-established plants. Herbs like a lot of water, at least once a week, but more during the summer heat.

Lovely Lantana a colourful shrub GRAEME TYRRELL IF you are looking for an attractive, colourful shrub or trailing ground cover with a long flowering season that is hardy, requires minimal soil improvement, is low moisture tolerant and attracts butterflies then you should be considering Lantana.

There are two forms, Lantana camera, the shrub and Lantana montevidensis, the trailing species. Lantana is also known as Wild Sage, Yellow Sage, and Shrub Verbena as it is a member of the Verbena family of plants.

The strikingly bright coloured flowers that form in groups come in many different shades including orange, red, yellow, white, pink and lavender. The colours may vary depending on climate, location, maturity of plant and once pol-

LANTANA feeding a butterfly. linated, the colour of the tiny individual flowers change (typically from yellow to orangish, pinkish, or reddish) giving the effect of multi-coloured flowers.

Lantana tolerate a wide range of climatic conditions, including drought, different soil types, heat, humidity and salt, making it a very suitable addition to a Mediterranean garden.

Its downside is that it produces abundant seeds and may escape the domestic garden and colonise open areas where it can become invasive. It is best to prune off as many berries as possible before they mature to reduce the distribution of seed.

Many consider it poisonous due to animals consuming large quantities developing fatal liver conditions. Generally the toxicity is very low if accidentally consumed in small quantities, which is not recommended of course, but there are few reports of major incidents from people accidentally ingesting the plant, suggesting it is considered only mildly irritating to most people. Still take care not to allow children and adults to consume any parts of the plant.

It grows well in a container with a well drained potting mix placed in a position with plenty

of sunlight. The container should not get too hot though as this will damage the root system. In the garden the shrub looks good alone or in groups and the trailing species makes a great ground cover and overhanging plant on terraced retaining walls or slopes with their white and mauve flowers.

Water them regularly while getting them established but don’t saturate the soil. It prefers some moisture but dislikes water logging. Once established they will need to have moisture in the soil to do well but do not need excessive watering.

Keep the plant compact by pruning back a third of the growth in late autumn when the flowering is finished. Regularly deadhead the berries forming after flower petals drop.

The shrub can be shaped into a miniature tree form, or standard. Select a strong branch and remove the other side shoots allowing the branch to become the main trunk to grow and form a canopy of flowers and leaves on its top branches.

It is a lovely plant that I have grown for years to brighten up the sunny areas of my garden and attract a wide range of butterflies to add more life to the garden without much effort.

Your dog and a new baby

Catsit for 2 Burmese in Greater London for Perrier & Clicquot

NEW BABY: Time to introduce them.

David THE Dogman Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm

GRADULLY introduce changes in your dog’s routine as soon as you know baby is on the way - if he does not connect them with the baby’s arrival he has less reason to be jealous. (a) Your dog should not be the centre of attention at all times, and should not sit on your lap (if at all) only when invited by you. (b) Get him used to being away from you sometimes in another room, or indoor kennel (‘crate’), and ban him from the nursery. (c) Take a refresher course at a training school, and think about practice walks with the pram it can be trickier than it sounds! (d) Check with your vet about canine hygiene and worming.

When your baby is born your dog may be left for hours while you are in hospital, or upset by the excitement if you are at home.

Arrange for someone he knows to look after/walk him.

It is an old wives’ tale (letting your dog drink breast milk or play with dirty nappies) this will not help your dog and baby to become friends, but sending home a blanket that the baby has slept on may help your dog to get used to the scent.

When you come home let someone else hold your baby while you greet your dog; introduce them later when he is calm.

Do not try to keep your dog and baby completely apart you won’t be able to keep it up!

Teach them both to interact calmly and gently, no licking by the dog or grabbing by the child.

NEVER EVER leave dogs alone with babies or young children; shut your dog out of the room or pop the baby in a secure play-pen. This applies every time you use the bath-

room, answer the door/phone or get a meal. It is NOT a matter of ‘trust.’ Toddlers can accidentally injure or alarm dogs (eg by falling on them) and startled dogs may react impulsively, lashing out or biting.

Your dog may have to wait in the queue for love but he still needs you.

Always having the baby nearby when giving him attention encourages your dog to accept having her around.

The most tolerant dog needs peace and quiet sometimes; allow him a place (eg his bed) he can escape to without being followed. Allow the child to go there at other times to prevent it becoming an exclusive area which he feels entitled to defend.

When your baby starts to crawl and walk teach your dog to step back out of her way in doorways and on stairs.

It’s the itchy and scratchy show ACCORDING to a UK report commissioned by pet food manufacturer Nature’s Menu and carried out by The Leadership Factor, two thirds of dogs suffer from some sort of health issue, which include allergies.

The summer season brings fabulous opportunities to take our beloved canine pal on those long walks and days out together, but alongside the need to watch out for protection from excess heat; is to keep an eye on seasonal allergies.

All pet-owners are aware of the need to keep fleas at bay particularly in the summer breeding season, but there are unseen triggers within their

diet including brown rice, chicken fat and potato starch. Their environment also contains allergens such as pollen, dust and seeds that can set off our furry friend’s cycle of itching.

If allergies that manifest themselves through itching (known as ‘pruritus’) are left untreated, there is a risk of secondary infection occurring, which is more expensive in the long run.

Scratching should not be seen as acceptable ongoing behaviour from our pets. Prevention is better than cure, both for our bank balance and the well-being of our companions. It is advisable for pet owners to remain watchful.

CLIQUOT: The Burmese cat.

DO you love cats? We have two fabulous Burmese cats who need a friendly caring sitter mid-August for two weeks in Fletham, Greater London. The owners want a cat lover to look after their two feline brothers. Their home is a renovated Victorian home near all the amenities you could want, and with easy access to the centre of London for some fun in the capital this summer.

The cats are indoor cats, and love human

company. The reason the owners prefer catsitters at home to any other pet care option is because you the sitter will be present in the cats’ own home. It keeps them relaxed and happy to know there are friendly people to care for them in an environment where they are at home! If you want to cat-sit Cliquot and his brother Perrier please register on HouseSitMatch.com as a house-sitter, and apply via the FIND HOUSE-SITS listing. We look forward to seeing you online!

Do you need a house or pet-sitter? Get in touch. House-sitting can be a win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting, and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation! Register as either house-sitter or homeowner now with a 50 per cent off introductory offer using coupon code SPECIAL50. To find a house or pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on 00 44 (0) 777 214 2742.

Work in the way of being a pet owner?

WOULD you skip work or a prior commitment if your pet was ill? It seems there’s a trend emerging where our animals are taking priority, and some employers are enabling this too.

A report by Animal Friends pet insurance, which surveyed 2,000 British workers found that 42 per cent told their boss it was a family

member that they had to stay home and look after, whereas it was actually their furry friend.

When breaking down the statistics, it seems this reluctance may be a generational trend, 40 per cent of 18 to 24 year olds compared to just 18 per cent of people in the over 55 age range.

Just like parents of human children, pet owners must PAWTERNITY LEAVE: It’s a real thing.

weigh up the disruption and expense of leaving someone else to take care of matters. Dog sitters, pet taxis and cat visitors are not an insignificant cost if friends or family are not able to help. Grandparents are often called to look after animals as well as children.

Please give one of these beautiful cats a home so we can save more from death. Can be seen without obligation at Cat and Dog World Kennels. Tel. 630 197 435 (93398)

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

Our website is www.ace-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00.

Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers.

We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference.

You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

Jaguar cub’s spectacular launch

by Matthew Elliott JAGUAR’S new baby SUV set pulses racing during a London launch show when stunt man Terry Grant entered the Guinness Book of Records with the world’s longest ever barrel roll in a production car.

The brand’s latest addition, the E-Pace SUV, fired a very loud warning shot to future rivals the BMW X1 and Audi Q3,

with the daredevil James Bond stunt at the Excel arena.

Grant took the car for a 270 degree roll over 15 metres, using a 160 metre run up and landing on all four wheels after the stunt in front of hundreds of astonished fans.

Set to replicate the success of the now iconic F-Pace, Jaguar’s second SUV is much more compact and affordable. Available later this year prices begin at around €35,000.

Buyers can choose between 150hp, 180hp, and 240hp diesels, and 250hp or 300hp petrol-run engines, the latter of which can hit 100kph in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 243kph.

There are five seats, with each having its own USB plug. There is 4G capability, four sockets, and a roomy boot offering 577 litres of space, while the glove box has 10 litres. Wheels are 19

BARREL ROLL: Do not try this Jaguar E-Pace stunt at home. or 20-inch, though attentiongrabbing 21-inch spokes are available.

A top infotainment system is complemented by 3D satellite mapping. What Jaguar calls its safest car ever has an au-

tonomous emergency braking system and pedestrian detection.

Drivers can choose between a nine-speed automatic or a sixspeed manual. A 150hp manual will cost around €35,000, while a 300hp petrol automatic will set

buyers back roughly €60,000.

Dubbed the ‘cub’ while in production, the final version has Jaguar cub designs, including on the windscreen and even the lighting when drivers unlock their car.

Black box is boss INSURANCE companies have developed a new black box which not only tracks the speed of drivers, but employs context to decide whether the speed is safe. A driver travelling down a winding country road at 70kph may be penalised even if the speed limit is 100kph, if the box determines that most people take the road slowly at 50kph.

New drivers, especially in the UK, are most likely to be affected by the new technology. In order to reduce skyrocketing insurance premiums, many allow a black box to be installed in their car, which monitors their driving habits.

The contextual speed technology is aimed at drivers who may feel compelled to reach the speed limit, even when more experienced motorists know it is unsafe.

SPV RACING: The team had not previously raced at the Austrian track.

Brilliant fifth place after pole position

SPV on the up!

SPV RACING with drivers Alvaro Fontes and Andy Cummings finished fifth after starting in pole position in the Michelin Le Mans Cup at the Red Bull Ring near Salzburg in Austria.

Andalucian driver Alvaro Fontes put on his best performance in the Michelin Le Mans Cup of 2017 in the team’s Ligier-Nissan JS P3 LMP3 together with Brit Andrew Cummings.

Although the team had not previously raced at the Austrian track, they quickly adapted and gradually improved the speed of the car during free practices. The best was to arrive on Saturday in the qualifying session where Fontes secured pole position for the two-hour race with a perfect last lap, beating the NormaNissan M30 of DKR Engineering and the second best Ligier from N’Race.

Fontes started the race on Saturday and held a position

in the top three during his stint. Some positions were lost during the race though, but Cummings finally took the Ligier-Nissan to fifth position, putting a perfect finishing touch to the Austrian weekend.

Team manager Lars GV Lindberg: “We are so happy with this result, it was really nice to see the speed of the drivers and our Ligier all through the weekend. Now we are all looking forward to continue the season on August 26 in Paul Ricard, France.”

ALVARO FONTES: Put on his best performance.

Classic Car Club of Andalucia

The ninth birthday celebrations OMING soon, in September, the Club reaches it’s ninth birthday and, as usual, will celebrate that with two great events. There will be a party with live music on Tuesday the 5th at Treetops in El Chaparral.

Then, on Saturday the 9th, there will be a special classic car run organised by Ian and Carol Giles, which will finish at Avanto Beach Club near La Cala where a lunch party will be held.

Already that amazing rock-n-roll band ‘The Memphis Trio’ have been booked to provide entertainment for dining and dancing. Lunch will be served outside on the terraces overlooking the beach and pool area which is terrific fun and provides a wonderful atmosphere. Don’t miss this one!

The monthly classic car runs are open to paidup members of the CCCA with a genuine classic car ie a car that is either over 25 years old or has a particularly strong provenance or pedigree that the Club will accept. The Club does stretch the point to encompass ‘modern classics’ wherever possible and, as such, will permit such things as modern Porsche 911s, Aston Martins, RollsRoyce, Morgan, Bentley, certain Jaguars and similar vehicles.

Whilst the club wants to encourage membership, and doesn’t want to deter genuine enthusiasts, what it doesn’t want is modern silver boxes!

There is no fixed definition of what qualifies as a classic car and this is something that is debated ad infinitum by classic car enthusiasts but, a general rule, is that the car must be 25 years old, in good condition and with some history or provenance. A ‘modern classic’ is even more difficult to quantify! Generally accepted are such things as the Mercedes E-Class, coupe and

C

Hot stuff but the CCCA keeps going!

THE weather may now be at its hottest of the year but the CCCA keeps on with its programme of events regardless!

Many clubs close down for the summer months but the CCCA considers continuity to be essential and even its July and August events are very well supported. The classic car run in July produced around 90 happy participants and the August events promise to be well supported.

Motoring correspondent Ian Giles reports on the latest news from the Andalucia Classic Car Club, the most successful such society in the area and probably in Spain with over 600 members. cabriolet, the Jaguar XK and XKR, the Alfa GTV, SL Mercedes, and such similar vehicles.

Some cars are accepted as classics irrespective of age and an example would be the Lotus or Caterham 7, any Morgan, Ferrari, Bentley, Lotus and many low volume production cars.

Investing in Classics Classic cars are, without doubt, an excellent investment and regularly outperform tangibles such as art, wine, gold and silver etc. Unfortunately, there are too many people out there trying to palm off simply ‘old’ and ‘tired’ cars as classics and expecting the same returns that other treasured, genuine and immaculate cars are getting. There is a lot of ‘tat’ out there masquerading as a genuine classic. A visit to a classic car auction will quickly highlight this! If you’re looking to buy a classic to enjoy driving, and have as an investment, it’s not a bad idea to enlist the services of a professional or, at least, a knowledgable person from the world of classic cars.

Classic cars need not be expensive, especially when taking those first steps into such ownership.

I regularly advise potential new CCCA members to start with something inexpensive and reliable.

A great example of this is anything Mercedes from any recent decade. The 80’s are providing the cheapest cars at this moment and E-Class

What’s coming soon?

coupes and cabriolets can still be bought for around £5,000. Mazda MX-5’s are the bargain of the year in my opinion. Any year is acceptable to this Club but early versions are ridiculously cheap at the moment. I’d snap one up while the going is good. They will rise soon. Mercedes SL models from the 90’s are still quite reasonably priced but they are set to rise and, in fact, have already started to do so. Grab one now before they sky-rocket!

I see in a recent issue of the magazine ‘Classic Cars’ that they had a feature on classic car bargains for those using big V12 engines. Very interesting was the range of cars available that could provide huge entertainment together with good investment credentials. The price range was from £5k - £40k.

These cars included Jaguar, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Mercedes and BMW. Not bad at all!

For anyone interested in acquiring such classic machinery, membership of a classic car club is essential and there is only one to consider in southern Spain…

Until next time.

THE Club has it’s regular monthly dinner on Tuesday, August 1 at ‘Treetops’ restaurant at El Chaparral Golf Club where dinner is served out on their beautiful terrace which generates a gentle breeze and a marvellous ‘ambiente.’

Non-members are very welcome to attend this social evening, as are guests.

The classic car run for August is being planned now by CCCA member Claudia Langer and will take place on Saturday August 5. Final details have yet to be announced but it seems the event will start near Torremolinos and finish near Marbella. As always, a good lunch will be a major part of the packa g e ! To p a r t i c i p a t e i n t h e c l a s s i c c a r runs, membership of the club is necessary. More information will be sent to members by email nearer the time.

Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com.

Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

Trialled by the members and enjoyed so much that they have been looking at several pitches to hire for the coming season.

Some have been unsuitable and some are available at prices of up to €80 for an hour.

They hope to include it in the U3A activities, but it is taking some time to find a suitable venue and they are appealing to anyone who has access to a five-a-side pitch, or something similar on their urbanisation, which may be available at a discounted price.
