Malaga is all set for the party of year The final countdown is on to Malaga Feria, the province’s greatest public party of the year.

FLASHBACK: A scene from the 2016 day fair
century when Malaga was recaptured from the Moors, an event celebrated ever since. Hundreds of fairground attractions, popup bars, dance and music and a tremendous party atmosphere attract scores of thousands - both young and old, Spanish and foreign - nightly to the fair area at El Cortijo de Torres. And the visitors are not just from Malaga city and nearby surrounds. Spanish families en-masse from Madrid and many other cities travel south to attend the annual event as part of their holidays,
and many from inland areas including resident expatriates as well as tourists from throughout Axarquia and elsewhere throng to join the massive celebrations. Each day the centre of the fair is the Avenida del Marqués de Larios with its roof swathed in canvas to help protect visitors from the sun. Away from the special fair ground, events spill across the city with museums opening with special displays and horsemen and young women in traditional attire parading through many streets.

Donkey care By John Smith
THE president of the Mijas branch of the Partido Popular, Ángel Nozal, has once again put forward his proposals for the care of animals. He wants to see the creation of a shelter for abandoned animals in the quarry at El Barrio, as well as a purpose built stables for the donkeys used as taxis in Mijas Pueblo. “The current stables are located in an urban setting where people live and do not meet the sanitary conditions necessary for the animals to be there,” said Nozal. According to the former mayor, a 2014 report made it clear that there was a problem with the current arrangements and this will now be a major part of the
p a r t y ’s c a m p a i g n f o r t h e next local elections. “The refuge will also serve to look after those donkeys too old to continue to serve as taxis where they can live out their lives. In addition, it could become a tourist attraction in its own right as visitors could see the animals for themselves.”

SPANISH FACTS OF LIFE...24 Hot weather may be what tourists want, but at this time of year millions of others just pray wild fires will not break out. Ian Relf reports.
Living in fear of fire SPAIN’S southern residents view long dry periods as frequently a harbinger and sometimes killer, and all too often totally destructive, wild forest fires. The average total burnt area in the EU Mediterranean countries - Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal and France - has quadrupled since the 60’s, with about 1.5 per cent of woodlands lost annually. Research shows that rural depopulation leads to an increasing number of wild fires, and climate change - with more frequent droughts and rising temperatures - an added factor. Arsonists, cigarettes, out-of-control garden fires, barbecues, sun shining off a piece of glass: there are many causes of the terrifying annual wild fires that Spain suffers. Modern firefighting methods see yellow fire planes and helicopters swooping down to collect sea, lake and at times pool water to then drop on out-of-control blazes… but it is often a mammoth and always scary operation that puts lives and homes at risk, as well as valuable natural surrounds.

The Brexit clock keeps ticking WITH the clock fast running down to Brexit, a former head of the diplomatic service has indicated that things are not going well. According to Sir Simon Fraser, there is no clear position and he feels that differences between cabinet ministers are causing delays in putting together a cohesive strategy. As the UK economy seems to be taking a bit of a knock with retail sales down three months running and the Bank of England adjusting forecasts to show a reduction in growth, the pound has also suffered against the euro. The Irish government isn’t happy about possible border options and MPs can’t even agree whether Britain should make a ‘divorce settlement’ to leave the European Union, let alone how it should be. Simon Manley, the British Ambassador in Madrid is doing his best to keep people informed but it’s certainly an uphill struggle for him as the reality is that there is plenty of speculation but nothing definite for him to confirm. In the meantime, the EU Brexit negotiator has also suggested that the British position falls far short of expectation and he feels that the British government doesn’t really know what it wants.

By Sean Campbell A RUSSIAN leader closely linked with the Estonian Mafia has been arrested in Spain.
National Police, Guardia Civil and Estonian police worked together as part of the Fulcrum-Carinatus operation to apprehend the head of the Kemerovo outfit in
Mijas, Malaga. He was affiliated with the number one of the Estonian Mafia - a group who specialised in arms, drug and human trafficking, extortion and prostitution - a powerful leader who was assassinated last September in Tallinn, Estonia. The Estonian authorities had been investigating this criminal group for more than two years, but the death of the mafia leader opened up a power vacuum which saw rival gangs fight for control. The Kemerovo network with origins tracing back to a Russian industrial city was involved in a number of criminal activities but mainly focused on drug trafficking and was in the process of establishing base of operations in Spain to launder profits. The head honcho settled in Spain as he feared he may have also become the victim of an assassin.

A MAN has been sentenced to almost nine years in prison for making repeated death threats. The 44-year-old man will face eight years, 10 months and a day in prison for mistreating and threatening to kill his former partner. Malaga Criminal Court dismissed the appeal filed by the accused against the sentence handed down last November as the trial judge reached the same conviction. The accused maintained a relationship for a year with the victim in Madrid, which ended after an episode of abuse. A domestic violence court prohibited him from coming within 500 metres of her and granted a protection order. The victim tried to make a new life, completely uprooting to Malaga and getting a new job but despite the protection order, her ex-partner called insistently on the telephone, demanding that she had to see him.

Iranian smuggling gang in Malaga dismantled OFFICERS of the National Police have arrested 14 people who were involved in people trafficking from Iran, charging €25,000 per person. The investigation, which involved British, Portuguese and Spanish police, as well as Europol, discovered that a gang was working in Spain to provide fake Spanish passports to Iranian nationals who then travelled to the UK. The headquarters of this highly organised operation was in Malaga, and it was here that the illegal immigrants would stop en-route before travelling on to other European destinations, where they would catch flights to the UK. Just one year ago, German authorities detained four Iranians with fake Spanish passports - at Hamburg airport - who were trying to fly to Britain, and discovered that the flights had been booked through a travel agent in Malaga. Spanish officers then followed the cyber trail and discovered that the gang had procured accommodation, so that as the immigrants were smuggled into Spain, they were looked after until fake documents and flights could be arranged.
FAKE DOCUMENTS: Checking some of the seized passports. As officers arrested 14 members of the gang in Malaga, they gained intelligence that the leader was booked on a flight from London to Sao Paulo in Brazil and, after issuing a European Arrest and Surrender Order, British authorities were able to detain him at Heathrow. Upon searching the premises of those arrested, officers discovered weapons, money, 30 Iranian and 10 Spanish pass-
ports and records of a number of Iranians who had been smuggled to the UK. Subsequent to this, a further 42 people were arrested in Malaga Province, as they were believed to have sold their Spanish papers to the gang for figures ranging from €500 to €3,000. Finally, 44 Iranians were detained across Europe, all in possession of fake passports.

Wish you were here! POLICE across Europe are sending innovative summer postcards to dangerous criminals on the run. However, the exact addresses of the fugitives are unknown so they’re appealing to members of the public to try and track them down. The postcards can be viewed onl i n e a t w w w. e u m o s t w a n t e d . e u / summercampaign and feature Europe’s Most Wanted fugitives, who have committed serious crimes in 21 EU countries. “Share these postcards, send your leads. For these fugitives, holidays are over!” Europol said in a statement. Traditional investigative measures have so far not led to the suspects and they are all believed to be hiding in a different country to where the crime was committed. Europol are inviting the public to sharing the online postcards and provide information that could help them complete the last piece of the puzzle so that we can apprehend reach the fugitives and put them behind bars.

LETTER LOOSE: Example of one of the postcards. They say, “While most of us are enjoying a well-deserved summer break, criminals are not taking time off from crime. “Holiday destinations have proven to be popular hiding places for criminals on the run from law enforcement. They might even have chosen the same destination as you…
“ T h a t ’s w h y y o u r i n f o r m a t i o n can be vital to catch some of Europe’s Most Wanted fugitives. Law enforcement across Europe, through the European Network of Fugitive Active Search Teams (ENFAST) and Europol, are asking for your help to find out their exact locations, to ensure they take responsibility for their serious crimes.”
Crowdsourcing the search has been proved to be very successful in tracking down fugitives in the past. Since the launch of www.eumost wanted.eu in early 2016, more than 2.5 million unique visitors have visited the website. Thirty-six criminals featured as most wanted fugitives have been arrested, of whom at least 11 were apprehended as a direct result of information provided by the public via the EU Most Wanted platform. Four of the fugitives turned themselves in after appearing on the list. Europe’s Most Wanted was initiated by the ENFAST community, with the full support of Europol. The members of ENFAST are all specialised in locating criminals on the run who are suspected, or have been convicted, of serious crimes and are subjects of European Arrest Warrants. The majority of these criminals have committed murders, fraud or other serious offences, or are trafficking drugs.

Charged with 50 thefts A MIDDLE AGED couple have been arrested and charged with 40 thefts in Cordoba and 10 more in Malaga. The smartly dressed couple entered a number of small shops and whilst one chatted with the proprietor or assistant, the other rifled through wallets or stole small items like mobile phones. As the National Police received more complaints of similar thefts, they realised that all were connected and then came a breakthrough as one of their victims spotted the car that they were driving and noted the number plate. Prior to making an arrest, officers also recognised that the same couple had bee n r e p o r t e d u n d e rta k in g s imila r thefts in Malaga and alerted colleagues in the city. The couple are now charged with 50 separate acts of theft after being apprehended outside of another store which it is believed was to be their next target.

Dumpers detected S PA N I S H n e w s p a p e r s h a v e run headlines associating Gibraltar with the illegal movement of waste into Spain but a Guardia Civil report suggests this is just one of 43 countries involved. Operation Tyson which was coordinated by Interpol has traced the dumping of 1.5 million tonnes of illegal waste across boundaries by criminals around the world. More than 1,000 Guardia C i v i l o f f i c e r s a n d Ta x A u thority officials made a number of spot checks of operations in Spain as well as at the borders. The Head of the Nature Protection Service (Seprona) was the main point of contact and national coordination with the INTERPOL authorities in the operation. Tw o s h i p s c a r r y i n g 6 , 6 0 0 tonnes of metal waste were detected with much of it bei n g d i s c h a rg e d i n t o t h e s e a without any safety measures.
ILLEGAL DUMP: Discovered in Spain. Unrecorded ground plastic material was found in another vessel sailing from Dakar (Senegal) carrying waste without authorisation or knowledge of its origin and composition. One company was discovered to be storing 136,000 litres of used vegetable oil
and 32,000 litres of wastewater without details of their origin and without formal authorisation. Three Spaniards have been arrested for alleged trans boundary movement of waste from Gibraltar to the town of Medina Sidonia in Cadiz Province.
All those detained and investigated in this operation face imprisonment of between six months to five years if found guilty and offenders must repair the environmental damage caused. Interpol’s estimates point to crime against the environment as one of the fastest growing problems on the international scene, mainly because of the widespread economic benefit of specialised criminal networks operating in this area. Spai n does have a l arge waste removal business and also imports and exports waste but there are always those who will fly tip and create illegal land fill sites without taking notice of the law. Currently most of the imported waste comes from the EU but there is also regular import and disposal from the USA, Israel, Argentina, Colombia, Honduras, Uruguay and Oman.

Students against child sex abuse A NEW campaign against child sex abuse has been formed by students. University of Malaga (UMA) students have created a movement to raise awareness of the sexual mistreatment of children. The campaign is focused on parents and will include information days as well as a media announcement and information packs being sent to educational centres and associations to raise awareness of a problem that, in most cases, originates within the family. Thirty-five per cent of girls and 20 per cent of children are sexually abused worldwide according to Unicef findings. In Spain, according to data
UMA students present their campaign. from the Ministry of the Interior, 3,730 minors were sexually abused during 2014. A figure that only represents the cases denounced and sentenced by a judicial sentence. In Andalucia, 1,169 children were treated during the year 2015 in the Programme for Evaluation, Diagnosis and Treatment of Minors Victims of Sexual Violence. In a presentation the stu-
dents said: “The problem of sexual abuse of minors is that it is one of the most invisible mistreatments. Most of the time it is hidden via deception, manipulation or threats. The child does not contact the authorities due to fear of the aggressor. This causes most of the assaults not to be reported and, therefore, the exact number of children affected by this situation cannot be known.�

UNDER DISPUTE: The old fire station in Fuengirola.
32 year argument settled DECADES of quarrel between municipalities are to come to an end. Countless instances of controversy and clashes between the municipalities of Fuengirola and Mijas will finally cease as an agreement between both administrations has at last been reached as to the ownership of the old firehouse. It has been occupied to date by the consistory of Fuengirola but next September it will be given to Mijas, who intend to renew and renovate it within a month. Various ideas have been put forward for the edifice, including a sociocultural building and a concert venue. A sociocultural building would serve the demand of groups and associations of Las Lagunas as well as provide a space for shows of the Pena Flamenca El Gallo.
The conflict dates back as far as 1985 where both municipalities were believed to have formed a consortium whereby Mijas would assume the cost of the facilities and maintenance and Fuengirola would cover the cost of the service but a high court ruling suggested there never was such a consortium. The High Court of Justice of Andalucia ruled in favour of Mijas and has stated that it does not owe any debt to Fuengirola. Both municipalities have partaken in friendly discussions and from the good attitudes of these proceedings an agreement has finally been reached. The property is considered by the General Plan of Urban Planning (PGOU) as public equipment and has an area of 762 square metres in addition to the possibility of three floors in height.

No play playground A MARINA playground is to be destroyed. The Ministry of Culture has rejected the request for it to remain until September and ordered that it be removed. The decision has been made because the esplanade playground occupied a protected area, according to the Law of Historic Heritage of Andalucia. Made up of trampolines and an inflatable castle, the installation was located less than 50 metres from the Bermeja Tower, which was declared a property of cultural interest in 1985. The regulations establish a minimum protection environment of 50 metres around this type of monument, a distance intruded upon by the play area which was authorised by the council.

The other two towers in the area have also encountered problems: The Torre del Muelle has faced prosecution after the owner of an adjoining restaurant carried out building work without permission.

MALAGA PORT: Proposal is inspired by the luxury marinas of Miami.
Moor room for mega-yachts A MULTIMILLION expansion to Malaga Port will make room for more megayachts. The proposal is inspired by the luxury marinas of Miami and would enable the mooring of around 40 extra berths, as well as a new yacht club and heliport where the boat house is located. Luna, Lady M, Octopus, Tatoosh and Prince Abdulaziz are some of the most luxurious mega-yachts in the world, who have visited the
capital already. The owners of vessels such as these - valued at several million euros - say they choose Malaga due to the attractiveness of its port and city, its security as well as competitive prices. The Port Authority of Malaga has been working for several months on a project to reform the Marques de Guadiaro dock (between the docks one and two)and turn it into a new marina, which would have capacity for an additional 40 boats
between 40 and 100 metres in length. The project will be undertaken in phases and largely depends on the initiative of the Port Authority, with the approval of State Ports Authority. The proposal will go to public vote, as has been done with other projects such as the new hotel. There are already investment groups from Spain and the United States that are interested who would fund the construction cost that will soar above â‚Ź50 million.

This area of beach is smack bang between Club La Costa World and the IPV Palace Hotel which are two of the biggest holiday accommodation destinations in the area. It is also right next to the main coastal dual carriageway! Dogs cannot read and they do not know that they can only operate within a certain area but, to make matters even worse, a few weeks ago they cut a new staircase up the embankment from the d o g b ea c h d irec tly to the ve ry edge of the dual carriageway.

Two men, fortunately, managed to pull her back and they then stopped the traffic enabling the owner to retrie ve the body of he r dog. A bra ve move , but think of the shunts that could have caused half way back to La Cala? Then, yesterday, a large black and brown dog was killed and just left against the central barrier. It is bad enough that these dogs are being killed but people in cars are also going to be casualties of this madness at some point down the line.

NUISANCE: Residences Pierre & Vacances hotel pool where action has been taken. THIS summer, residents of the Bel Air neighbourhood in Cancelada, Estepona, breathed a sigh of relief when, after two years of complaints to hotel manager Miren Bilbao, during which time nothing was done to curb the excessive late night noise from entertainment at
the Residences Pierre & Vacances hotel swimming pool, legal action was eventually taken by the community, and the hotel was ordered by the Benahavis Council, the licensing authority, to stop the night-time events. Residents who live opposite the hotel complain that
the hotel is still not complying fully with the regulations, as there is still excessive noise during daytime aerobic sessions around the pool, with loud music above the permitted 55db level. But residents are still unhappy with the hotel, as increased tourism has brought
record numbers of guests to the mid-priced, Frenchowned hotel, and new complaints of rubbish and thoughtless and dangerous parking. “It’s quite common for hotel guests who don’t want to pay the hotel’s parking charges, to park outside residents’ garage exits, blocking their cars in, sometimes for days. Guests park on yellow lines, on private land, on crossings and in dangerous spots in this wholly residential area,” said long term resident Mary Page. Residents also complain of rubbish, including cans, bottles, half-eaten take-away food causing an increase in rodent and cockroach infestation. At a recent meeting of the community’s residents association, many years-old complaints were raised about the hotel. The community’s managing committee has pledged to take steps in conjunction with the police and local authorities so that conditions will improve by next summer.

Little rockers prove big hit Photo by Verkami

YOUNGSTERS: Age proves no barrier for young rockers Devils in the Sky. ONE of the world’s youngest rock bands has been formed in Malaga. The group of six little rockers aged between eight and 14 years old aim to bring an end to reggaeton (Spanish dance music). Named Devils in the Sky, the band take their influences from AC/DC, Iron Maiden and the Rolling Stones but the moment they really got noticed was when they uploaded their cover of the song Toxicity to YouTube. The fast-paced hit by US metal outfit System of a Down is notoriously difficult to perform but the young hell raisers managed to nail it as their video proved popular with almost 3,000 views. They began rehearsing in school as a hobby but their internet fame has earned them the opportunity to play a number of local live shows
on a summer tour. A crowd-funding campaign has been launched as the youngsters aim to release their first EP entitled It’s a New Age. The songs will be sung in English and address the issues that most affect them, such as problems of adolescence or bullying. The band said in a statement: “We want to teach our generation that there is music besides reggaeton. If this project makes only one person stop listening to it, then it will be worth it.” The title track of the EP will be played for the first time for the public at Sala Catarina de Marbella in December. With less than a month to go, they need €4,500 to reach their target on the website, Verkami.

SECURITY STAFF STRIKE AT EL PRAT BARCELONA AIRPORT
€300,000 fine on the cards FOLLOWING the breakdown of talks between Eulen and staff, the company that manages security at Barcelona El Prat Airport could be fined €300,000. Security staff are in conflict with employers as they demand better working conditions and more staff, but this breakdown could cost Eulen dearly as it works under contract from AENA which has overall management of the airport. The existing agreement allows AENA to take direct action against Eulen and, as its staff are about to undertake a number of potentially crippling strikes during the airport’s busiest time, the courts have been asked to approve the levy of two fines, each of €150,000. Ironically, AENA had already approved an exceptional payment of €425,000 effective from Saturday July 1 in order to allow for the recruitment of additional staff, to ensure that passengers were able to proceed through the airport without unnecessary delay. AENA has also rejected a request from Eulen to assist in the mediation procedures with its employees, which would be a complete change of procedure, as it has never been involved in trying to settle a dispute between a contractor and their employees. With the bad publicity arising from passenger delays for passengers from non-Schengen countries, caused by new EU passport checking regulations and now possible long delays to leave, Barcelona could find itself losing a large number of visitors who could easily go elsewhere in the medium term. The local government has become involved and demanded that a minimum level of service is maintained over each 24-hour period, but as the workers’ representatives and the employer appear to be at loggerheads, long delays in very hot conditions will do nothing to sooth passenger
STRIKE THREAT: El Prat Airport security staff.

routes are with London airports Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted and passengers from those three airports account for 6 per cent of all movements.
tempers or indeed those of the workers who are handling them. The Catalan government recognises the concept of the right of workers to strike, but also wants to ensure that highly visible operations such as the important El Prat Airport do not present a negative face internally or to the outside world.
IMF SURPRISED BY ECONOMIC GROWTH THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) is the latest group to upgrade expectations for the Spanish economy by the end of 2017 by half of 1 per cent. It now forecasts that growth will rise to 3.1 per cent from its original forecast of 2.6 per cent and confirms that it is surprised how well a number of EU economies, namely, Spain, France, Germany and Italy are doing. Next year, it expects Spain to lead economic growth within the European Union with a slightly lower 2.4 per cent which will be well above the average, and even beat former ‘power house’ Germany. Despite the positive news, the IMF report warns that there are potential pitfalls ahead due to excess capacity, ageing populations and delays in investment, leading to little advance in productivity. Focusing on Spain, the organisation worries about the high public pension payments - the value of which is higher than the European average - and wants to see an increase in private pension schemes.

Otherwise, it believes that the age to receive the state pension will have to be increased. Clearly, this and the demand that pension rises should be capped and IVA be further increased are not popular with Spanish residents, and the National Government, ever-decreasing in popularity, will have to be very careful about its actions. As opposition parties complain that the new growth in the economy has not been reflected in the day-to-day affairs of those who are in work, one
group will be pleased with the government, as 252,000 women will see additional payments with their pensions. Those pensioners who had two children will receive at least a 5 per cent bonus and this will be increased for each additional child up to a maximum of four in order to recognise the importance of women who broke their years of social service contributions to increase the population. More female pensioners in Andalucia than any other province will benefit from this increase.
Higher costs for firms THE 2017 budget deadlock meant that new social security charges for self-employed had to be suspended, but they will now cost an average of €100 per annum. Many were taken by surprise when they discovered that their monthly payments had risen by 3 per cent after the increase was approved by Congress, although there was a corresponding uplift of the minimum income to be required to pay this contribution. The actual amount involved will vary depending upon declared income and, as with the UK, the more you earn, the more you pay and even the reduced rate for those aged over 48 has been increased in line with other rates.
Beware intelligent appliances THERE has been a great deal of discussion recently about the safety of intelligent household devices and possible hacking of information. Equally worrying for some, according to Mintel, the world’s largest market intelligence agency with g l o b a l o ff i c e s i n E u r o p e , the Far East and Asia, is the fact that different companies can purchase information from manufacturers. The report suggests that in Britain just 30 per cent of those interviewed believed that insurers could be trusted to manage the data, and more than 75 per cent are apprehensive about theft of the information or the fact that it could be sold on. As more of these sophisticated devices find their way to Spain, similar fears are likely to arise.

More foreign investment SPANISH energy distributor Gas Natural Fenosa is selling 20 per cent of its business to two overseas investors for €1.5 billion. The agreement with Allianz Capital Partners - a London based operation with offices across Europe - and Canadian pension fund CPPIB is likely to be finalised by early 2018 when approved by the different regulatory bodies. Currently the company has 5.3 million supply points across 1,100 different towns but wants to use the investment to expand its operation to take in many more locations. This is the third sale of significant percentages of Spanish energy companies to overseas investors so far this year with a total spend of more than €4.5 billion.
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.

ONE thing that does surprise me (not really!) is why the media has carefully avoided mentioning the fact that the Grenfell Tower block was filled with 99 per cent of ethnic immigrants? As these apartments were presumably allocated by local council authorities, does this not seem in direct contradiction to thegovernment’s oft spouted ambition to do everything in their power to ‘integrate immigrant cultures into the British way of life?’ It seems to me that all they achieved in this instance was to create a towering ghetto of people who would, by the very nature of their environmental existence, have found it difficult to take on British culture and values, even if they had wanted to. At best, this biased selection process is a misdirected exercise in culture relationships and, at worse, blatant racism. I would be extremely interested to know how many of those in charge of tenant selection, were actually immigrants themselves? As time passes, and people of ethnic origins (often quite rightly) move into more and more decisiontaking positions, the emergence of reverse racism is subsequently ever-present and needs to be severely dealt with. I’ll cite you one example of what I’m alluding to. My nephew, aged 21, moved back to Northern Ireland after a year working in Spain. Having no immediate employment, he decided to sign on at the local Social Se-

OTHERS THINK IT curity offices. Waiting in the queue he found himself behind two black ladies, colourfully attired in the costumes of whatever country they originated from. He then patiently stood and waited for some 20 minutes, while the clerk behind the counter, also of ethnic origin, laboriously, and in great detail explained all the benefits that the two enquirers were entitled to. When they finally moved away, my nephew took up their place and politely explained to the man that he had been out of the country for a year and what was his position regarding any benefits? Curtly and rudely he was informed he had been out of the country too long and couldn’t be helped. Next! Er, just a minute. The aforementioned woman had never lived in the country.
GRENFELL TOWER: Lessons to be learned.
How come they were entitled to 20 minutes of the clerk’s attention, while my nephew, who had been born, bred and previously worked in Northern Ireland, was rudely brushed aside with no explanation whatsoever! Now if that example doesn’t smell of reversed racism, I don’t know what does.
As more immigrant members of our society move into these higher authorative positions, they have to be monitored very carefully and deterred in the strongest possible way of practising the racism many of them may well have been have been accusing others of for years.

Should the bartender be behind bars? Marbella Moments
Photo Credit: YouTube
IS it perhaps outrageous to place any responsibility on the bartender and establishments that serve the alcohol that in turn lead to an accident or fatal incident? In some states in the USA this is the case. It is undeniable that although we are all responsible for our own actions there are contributing factors that can act as detonators, a link in a chain reaction of incidents. Bartenders overserving customers can be considered as such. Perhaps this question goes beyond legality and is more a question of morality, social responsibility and community spirit. Our Danish tourists are vulnerable to sunburn leading to a marked increase in cancer. This has led their government to create a very cool marketing campaign to appeal directly to the Spanish population to take an active part in keeping this tourist sector safe; to remind them to sit in the shade, to wear a hat, to use suntan cream.
by Nicole King
The British government could follow suit and create a campaign on alcohol poisoning as this too is making our citizens sick and is not doing anyone’s reputation any good either! They could point out that most Brits are used to drinking beer and if they do drink a spirit, the gill is a unit of measure so small in comparison to what is served locally that they are not ready for what comes next! Added to this is the fact that most of what they’re served is cheap, low-grade alcohol, with which they’re plied upon arrival and throughout their stay. Plus they come from a country where the trend amongst the young is to go out to drink and to get drunk rather than going out to have fun and have a drink. Is it really all their fault then
Help Danes in Spain. that they fall apart and throw up after being bombarded with so much alcohol? They’re not ready for Spain, they’re too vulnerable and no one is there to help them. So, should the bars and restaurants be responsible for the
condition of their clients when they leave their premises? Should they be legally liable? When I think of a bartender I envision a kindly-faced person who’s making sure the customers are happy, that they don’t leave without pay-
ing or become disorderly. Locally perhaps these are not the priorities of some of the establishments who need to take advantage of the summer sales to stay alive, who under this financial pressure overlook the influence this may
have in other people’s lives. In this vein, businesses may even encourage their bar staff to ignore common sense in favour of greater sales, placing an even greater responsibility and conflict of interest on the poor employee, the bar tender. He or she however would be the ones to have to live with a guilty conscience if anything untoward then happened to a client, if that extra ‘sale’ proved to have been the weak link. Professional bartenders are trained in the art of serving and also in knowing when to stop; as skilled in preparing drinks and cocktails as looking out for the patron’s best interests. If, therefore, Marbella’s establishments also aspire to this same level of professionalism we eliminate the need for our bartenders to think about being behind any other bars than their own. Ps.

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man WE all see, and some of us even have our favourite ‘Looky Looky’ men, especially in the coastal regions of Spain where we live. They sell all sorts of stuff and mostly copies of famous brands and when you buy your Rolex or Louis Vuitton bag you know full well that for 20 or 30 euros it’s not real. Is it correct? Maybe not. The big companies complain it’s damaging to their business. Some of us think that the person that buys a ‘moody’ Rolex for €20 is highly unlikely to buy a real one for €12,000, but it’s something that is pretty much accepted rightly or wrongly. But there is a darker side of the fake business and some of it is even life threatening and that is what is making me seriously grumpy. I’ve seen copies of famous brand toothpaste, shampoo, booze and cigarettes which all, when tested, contained poisons. Every brand of mobile phone and the accessories, game consoles and most electronic items are being sold, not in the back streets somewhere, but openly on ebay and other online sources. People are looking to buy items for
themselves or as gifts only to find that when it arrives, and sometimes after it blows up or shorts out, that what they have bought is fake and it seems the powers to be can do very little about it. One of the things to look out for is the price. If you see a brand new iPhone7 for €300 I can almost guarantee it’s a fake, even if it’s advertised as an unwanted gift. If something looks too good to be true then it most likely is. The other day I was looking for a new keyboard for a Microsoft tablet I have. It’s a model which has been superseded but which works perfectly well. I phoned Microsoft and they didn’t have them any more so I looked online and there were loads of them for sale... not one of them real but being advertised as genuine. They were all being shipped from China. I finally found one that actually said it wasn’t original but was made to work with the tablet I had, so I’ve had a punt at that via Amazon. I’ll let you know if it works. It also works the other way round. I put a watch on ebay to sell and the amount of people that tried to get me to deliver it saying payment had been sent was quite astonishing, So be careful when buying and selling. It seems everyone on the internet is trying to con you. It’s a shame but that’s what greed does. Been conned? Email mikesenker@gmail.com.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Graham Braben, Almeria
I am not growing old FOR many young energetic people across the world the tribulations of the older generation are of little interest until time reels them in and they suddenly realise they are approaching the decrepitude they thought would never come. But at least in Spain the family unit tends to be more appreciative of older relatives and less likely to leave them lonely and uncared for when they most need support. The climate here also helps elderly people get out more so that they can stay active. In cooler months the old men in Spain all seem to venture out in brown trousers and a dark red pullover, topped off by a cloth cap. On formal occasions the same trousers are teamed with a light beige jacket and a pork pie hat. Older Spanish ladies, meanwhile, wear what they want but reach a certain age at which it becomes mandatory to have their hair cut short, permed, and turned copper red. I saw a group of five elderly ladies chewing the fat on the promenade and they looked like unlikely sisters because they all had this same hairstyle. I wonder if when the time comes they go into the hairdresser and ask for ‘old lady hair, please.’ Having said that, I just passed a man in the street who cannot have been less than 85, and he was sporting a wavy reddish brunette hairpiece that appeared to be made of nylon. It would have looked better on a lady but ‘better’ is a relative term here. I have never seen a more obvious syrup in my life. And for any confused Spanish readers, syrup is slang for a wig. To check this just ask any Englishman sporting what looks like a wig and ask him ‘is that a syrup, mate?’ He will be delighted to tell you. Personally I am determined never to grow into an old person.

Cover up should be for all! THE Nicole King article about Time to cover up (CDS Issue 1674) was timely given Marbella’s plans to introduce laws making it illegal to walk around unclothed except at the beach or pool. As highlighted from time to time in the EWN, many tourists - and I fear occasionally expats - decide it is acceptable to walk around without a shirt, or perhaps in a bikini bottom and top. In my book it is not, and I am no fuddy duddy. However, I do not agree with Nicole that ‘one important thing differentiates Marbella from the rest of the world is our ‘class,’’ with this backing the plan that wearing clothes is now officially on the citizen conduct code. What class! Marbella has little if any more than many other places. Many residents and perhaps visitors have money, but many additionally
HAVE YOUR SAY
have shady backgrounds, and in numerous cases, little money. I have lived in various places in Spain over the last 20 years and feel residents and tourists alike THROUGHOUT Spain and not just in ‘classy’ Marbella - should face through laws the need to cover up when out and about... just like in Nice in the south of France, which does have some true class!

Early cheers of concern SIR, Welcome to Spain. Hopefully most of the summer visitors will be able to recall all their antics when they return home. I make this point as at 9.50am yesterday three men - not teenagers but aged in their 50’s or 60’s - raised three pints of beer in a poolside toast. Maybe from the UK (I am British myself), or perhaps German or Scandinavian, it does not matter. My surprise was that even before 10 in the morning some
Grumpy view IT’S PARTY TIME: But for some, drinking appears a day-long holiday attraction. tourists start their day with an alcoholic drink, and the three I saw were clearly keen to record the moment, with a lined up Selfie!

We shouldn’t be dictated to (Leapy Lee) HI Lee What I cannot understand is why nobody (Not Even the Stays) mentioned the time period that would elapse from Leave to Actually Leaving EU. Something very suspicious about that??? So now we know I am sure the Remain would have won easily... I voted out thinking it was just a matter of a few months and we are out. Now we find 20,000 laws passed by EU have got to be reversed (nice earner for solicitors). So I think what will happen now is after two/three years of rising prices blamed on Brexit etc etc. The People will ask for another vote and May & Co will get what they want a Remain vote at least 90 per cent. Exactly what she and the rest are aiming for. Col Bro
UK airports warn of European flight suspensions post-Brexit IT’S not that non-EU countries can’t fly to the EU. The problem is that as the UK has made no firm proposals, there will literally be no rules. A legal vacuum, as stated here. Sure, non-EU flights do land in Europe, but within a defined legal framework. Unless something is agreed, there will be no such framework; there’s no blanket thirdcountry plan the UK can just default to. Airlines have to plan a year ahead and with no deal, they couldn’t. Kally
Comments from EWN online
think that they should not be subject to the same treatment in other countries?? Even before Britain had the referendum they were the only European country where there were delays at customs. Wake up Brits this is what you wanted. Malcolm Heaps

Fruit and veg boost for Mercadona shoppers
IT’S not good enough. Stop it completely. FOREVER. Spend money Mr Mayor on DECENT tourist attractions, people won’t stay away if you STOP CRUELTY. Wyn AND the Mayor who should be giving a good example is more interested in the financial status… not with welfare of animal rights… Nothing surprising about the greed in this government… seems to be the norm here… Felipe
PROBABLY more to do with shoppers choosing a cheaper item and then producing a ticket for less than the real value and the till not knowing whether the item is what the label says and Mercadona losing money, can’t imagine it’s for client convenience. Martin

THE trade off is longer queues at the checkout. CJ
THERE’S no place in civilised society for people like this. It is to be hoped that they will have their passports rescinded and put on a permanent flight ban. CJ
TODAY I reached a new level of grumpiness. There were several reasons, ie our village of Los Pacos, Fuengirola, has had its one-way system reversed due to roadworks. This normally would just create a ‘grump,’ but after taking the longer route round I discovered the roadworks had led the normal delivery of the EWN to be affected at my two usual pick-up points. With my grumpiness level rising I was forced to head to Los Boliches in search of the paper on a very hot day and without a bottle of water to hand. Grumpier by the minute as I go to pick up an EWN I trip over the small entrance step and end up on my hands and knees. EWN in hand, I return home against a seemingly endless tide of ‘beach people’ dodging around families laden with chairs, rubber rings, parasols, cold boxes, children and all other paraphernalia people seem to find necessary. Eventually back home hot and sweaty, I pour a glass of cold water and open the EWN to my favourite section ‘Grumpy Old Man.’ But there is NO ‘Grumpy’ column to be seen!! My own grumpy level now reaches the RED zone! Is Mike Senker not grumpy this week? No, that’s not possible, but I need my own weekly Grumpy fix! Luckily I had some back issues of the EWN! But please EWN delivery man get back to normal next week. Martyn Wood Fuengirola Editor’s note: Our apologies over the hiccup in deliveries.

STRATEGICALLY PLACED: Swedish buyers can enjoy a luxury lifestyle near Puerto Banus without breakiing the bank.
Swedish buyers head for sunny south of Spain as the market heats up SWEDISH buyers looking for a second home in Spain have increased by just under a third; and are amongst the top three nationalities of foreign purchasers, according to leading Spanish homebuilder Taylor Wimpey España. Total year-to-date sales, as of April 2017, are up by 31 per cent and Swedish purchasers now account for 16 per cent of all purchases made. Loose monetary conditions, rising wages and general optimism in the economy have fuelled prosperity in the Swedish economy with SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken A/B) forecasting growth of 3.1 per cent this year and 2.6 per cent in 2018.
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey España, has observed firsthand the rise in demand from Swedish buyers. Marc and his team now translate all property brochures and contracts in Swedish as a matter of course, and for the last three years have had a Swedish version of Taylor Wimpey España website to meet demand. “The past 12 months have seen a real boost in sales to north Europeans, especially Swedish buyers. The regular, direct, low-cost flights from Sweden and neighbouring countries to the Costa del Sol on Spain’s southern coast has made it a hotspot for buyers in 2017.
“Almost half of all Swedish buyers are choosing the Costa del Sol with the new ‘Acqua’ development in very high demand. Its major pull is a perfect location for a competitive price. “The new homes are very close to the wellknown harbour of Puerto Banus, minutes away from the beaches of Marbella. Swedish buyers are excited to live the high life without the high price tag,” stated Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director, Taylor Wimpey España Another aspect of Acqua’s appeal is its community vibe with 130 homes set across four buildings, each of four storeys. As the name suggests, Acqua has its own resi-
dents’ swimming pool with each three bedroom, two bathroom home boasting ample space for families and lots of natural light. Prices start from €265,000 +VAT, the homes are just a four-minute walk from Alcantara beach. Just five minutes from Puerto Banus and with great transport links to enjoy the best in leisure and entertainment, including the best golf courses on the Costa del Sol. Only 40 minutes drive from Malaga airport. For more information, please contact Taylor Wimpey España on 08000 121 020 or visit http://taylorwimpeyspain.com. Residents outside of the UK will need to call 00 34 971 706 972.

THE Spanish Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis has said he will not insist that Spanish sovereignty over Gibraltar be a condition of any Brexit deal. It has been made clear that any veto that might be allowed on Gibraltar negotiations would only come into place after Brexit, but in advance of his visit to the Campo de Gibraltar he has told Spanish media that although the sovereignty claim over Gibraltar is very important he did not want to take any action that could jeopardise the future of Spanish cross-border workers. Mr Dastis said the joint sovereignty proposals remain on the table, adding Spain will try to convince Gibraltar they’re worth ex-
ploring but this will come as good news for the towns in the Campo who are worried about the future of the 12,000 Spanish nationals who work on the Rock. Last week in Euro Weekly News, Chief Minister Picardo made it clear that he would be delighted to welcome Mr Dastis to Gibraltar to see the Territory for himself although he would not wish to discuss any form of joint sovereignty with the Foreign Minister, except to confirm it is not acceptable.

Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men.” Joseph Conrad, Polish-British writer
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You like to do your own things in your own way and in your own time. That certainly shows this week. It can cause a bit of a stir with family. Even so, it will inspire someone close to step forward and make their own stand. Put someone straight when they step out of line.

3. The French Way of the Camino de Santiago The famous Camino de Santiago has become the mecca not just for Christians but for lovers of a challenge and a route which embraces nature, spirituality and tranquillity. The French way which runs for 800km between Saint Jean de Pied de Port, in France,
and the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela (northwest Spain) is manageable at any time of the year given the cooler climates. 4. The Vía de la Plata Route The Via de la Plata or ‘cobbled way’ comprises 26 towns and cities dotted along the way stretching from Gijon on the Cantabrian coastline to Sevilla in Andalucia. The route comes complete with an app and special passport giving cyclists plenty of discount opportunities for the various establishments to be found along this ancient trade route dating back to before the Romans. 5. The Camino del Cid ‘The Way of El Cid’ wellknown for its historical relation to the famous medieval knight is a cultural route spanning the country from northwest Castilla to the southeast Mediterranean coastline. There are various theme-based itineraries available depending on the distance and story you wish to follow.
LA PRIMITIVA
EURO MILLIONS
The kind nature that is so much a part of you is only too evident this week. A situation makes you feel frustrated and you need to find a way forward. A bit of expert advice goes a long way even if it does mean that you still have to go it alone. Be strong and remind yourself that this is for someone else.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20)
WITH summer hotting up, why not take the opportunity to explore some of the country’s most picturesque routes by bike. With the wind on your face and some of Spain’s breathtaking beauty to blow you away, here’s our top five suggestions to consider. 1. Vía Verde de Ojos Negros (from Teruel to Valencia) This route runs for 160km in two stages though of course there is endless beauty along the way. The route will take you along disused railways and is the longest of a nationwide networks of via verdes (rail trails). The first of two stages is in Teruel passing through the stunning Sierra Menera whilst the second draws you down into the interior of Valencia right down to a shimmering coastline. 2.

Famous quote
World of English
EL GORDO DE LA PRIMITIVA
As you prefer living in the here and now, you find it difficult to understand and tolerate people who plot and plan in advance. It is tedious in the extreme to consider every little detail of something which may never happen. Because there is this relaxed attitude, you have developed a larger-than-life personality.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This time of year reminds you just how much you enjoy home comforts. Plan ahead now for those chilly winter nights when the air is crisp and the wine is mulled. The urge is to work with others this week and that in itself throws up plans for evenings ahead. Having planned a romantic weekend there may need to be some adjustments.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Your mind, as ever, is changeable. This is a fun time to dabble at this and that to bring a bit of variety to your life and work. Meeting new people and starting new projects means that it is a busy time at work but the rewards are high.

This is an emotional week, when it is difficult to keep things to yourself. Get together with others and do a bit of social networking. Talk, and if you cannot bring yourself to confess to a problem, say that it is a friend of yours who has it. Certainly, you need to share this concern to get a balanced picture. Things that are held inside can get blown out of all proportion. Think of something to spice up your love life at the weekend because it is a romantic time.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) There is a highly social week ahead with social gatherings here and there. A trip means that finances start to look brighter. You may find it necessary, if you are to progress, to consider a move to another job or area. Get involved with people who have been in the same situation. This gives you a good guide as to exactly where you want to be. Someone fresh brings a romantic lift to the weekend and you are reminded of how things used to be.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) There is a great impatience this week when someone flatly refuses to see something through to the end. You do not admire sloppiness and your reaction shows this. It may be necessary for you to sort out a situation which has been going on far too long. As you dislike loose ends in any respect, your patience may come to an end.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Energy is high and there is a lot of fun to be had. An invitation sent out brings an old friend to your table. This is not as straightforward as you think it will be. Odd stirrings make you confused. Could it be that going back is the right way to go forward? Remove yourself for a while to consider rather than be torn in two directons at once.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You feel like a fish out of water in a confused and noisy situation. Perhaps you are not making the right kind of friends, so take control of the quality of people who you associate with. Maybe it is relatives that are causing concern. You cannot choose your relatives, but it is possible to see less of them.
SAGITARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is a great social week. Your puppy-like enthusiasm attracts others and a barrage of good vibes comes your way. Indeed, your relaxed attitude allows someone close to get their own life a bit more into perspective.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) People look to you to guide them through the maze of right and wrong this week. Your talent for bringing humour into the most tense situations is invaluable midweek. Summer is a socialising time for you and it is all steam ahead as you issue invitations and receive some back.

BIRTHDAYS
FROM bestselling writer of The Radleys and The Humans, Matt Haig, comes a brand new and original, bittersweet story of self discovery and the certainty of the inevitable twists and turns which life presents. The story follows Tom Hazard who in the eyes of all those around him might just appear your average 40-year-old but who inside is harbouring a deeper, stranger and even more dangerous secret. Suffering from a rare condition, Tom has been alive for centuries and has sailed through ‘Elizabethan England to JazzAge Paris, from New York to the South Seas.’ He has seen time pass and lived its history. Yet Tom is craving to settle within a present ‘normality’ whilst burning to escape a past riddled with a more fiery past. Throughout the novel, we see Hazard struggling to zigzag between identities, dodging his own fears of resurging buried secrets from his past. In this novel, Haig succeeds in bringing the reader on a journey of self acceptance.

DVD Wakefield Directed by Robin Swicord Starring: Bryan Cranston, Jennifer Garner THIS story is told from the point of view of Howard Wakefield (Bryan Cranston), a successful attorney who falls into an absurd, sinister trap of obsession and voyeurism. We first meet Wakefield commuting home from New York City when he finds himself falling asleep in the attic above his garage. However Wakefield has no intention of leaving the attic to reassure his frantic wife and family. Instead he decides to squat there and to use it as a spying bunker. As the plot and psychological undercurrent of the film begins to ripple, we will see him observing every move of his wife Diana (Jennifer Garner) and his family, witnessing their every move without him as he becomes caught up in a narcissistic web of power, in the knowledge that he alone carries the key to his whereabouts.

Ageing with grace IS your man getting better with age under the Spanish sun? According to new research from leading market intelligence agency Mintel, as many as 75 per cent of men aged 65 and over feel confident about the way they look, compared to just over half (56 per cent) of men aged 16-24 and an average of 61 per cent of all men. While 67 per cent of all men say they look good for their age, this increases to a self-assured 71 per cent of those aged 65 and over. Proving Britain’s men are happy to accept ageing with grace, almost four in five (78 per cent) men questioned agreed that it is acceptable to have some wrinkles, while 68 per cent said that skin ageing is a natural process that can’t be stopped. Roshida Khanom, Associate Director, Beauty and Personal
Care at Mintel, said: “Today’s older men are brimming with self confidence, with high proportions thinking that they look good for their age and feeling confident about the way they look. Following role models such as Pierce Brosnan, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, Britain’s older men are adopting a relaxed attitude towards ageing with the majority of men agreeing that ageing is acceptable, and that skin ageing is
AGEING: Men are relaxed about it.
a natural process. Whilst advertising in the women’s facial skincare category often features photo-shopping to optimise the appearance of skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles,
such images may not appeal to men. Allowing skin to look aged but healthy may instead have greater resonance.” However, this new found confidence is not doing much for the sales of facial skincare products in the UK. While as many as half (51 per cent) of men believe that a healthy diet is enough to maintain the appearance of skin and 39 per cent feel that skincare products contain unnecessary chemicals, sales of men’s skincare products are forecast to decline in 2017 around 4.7 per cent with sales dropping to £100 million.
DVT: Special stockings can be worn during flights.
Avoid DVT JETTING off this summer? The Spanish Society of Physicians Of Primary Care (SEMERGEN) reminds holidaymakers that flights longer than four hours can increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurring and in flights of more than 12 hours, the condition increases substantially with the risk higher in those with preexisting conditions that can increase the risk factor, such as those who have had recent surgery, cancer treatment, trauma, pregnancy or who have previously had DVT. The condition is a blood clot that forms in a vein when blood slows and thickens and clumps together and mostly occurs in the lower leg. To help reduce the risk remember to drink lots of water and stay hydrated, keep moving as much as possible, even if you are just doing feet and leg exercises whilst sitting. Special stockings can also be worn during flights to help prevent the condition. For those with any concerns, consult medical advice before flying.

Axillary hyperhidrosis What is axillary hyperhidrosis? Underarm excessive sweating, also called axillary hyperhidrosis, is a chronic disorder that causes the sweat glands to produce excessive, abnormal volumes of sweat even though the temperature outside has not increased to cause such high levels of perspiration. As is to be expected, axillary hyperhidrosis is exacerbated in the summer months when it is warmer. What are the consequences of hyperhidrosis? Sweating is the body’s natural mechanism for controlling internal temperature. The problem is when sweating becomes excessive and reaches a level of severity that makes it impossible to conduct everyday activities. It affects both men and women, and in Spain almost half a million people suffer from the effects of excessive sweating on a social, psychological, emotional and physical level. Hyperhidrosis causes irritation, itching and lesions due to the folds of skin in the area affected and the constant humidity to which the skin is exposed. Moreover, those who suf-
fer from hyperhidrosis are also affected on an aesthetical level as it can have a severe impact on patients’ social lives and self-esteem. In some cases, it can even lead to frustration and depression. Is there a cure for hyperhidrosis? In this day and age there is! There are several solutions that bypass the need for surgery and being administered drugs over extensive periods of time. One effective treatment type involves the use of botulinum toxin or Botox. In a painless procedure, the substance is injected into the skin using very thin needles and it blocks the action of the sweat glands lessening the production of sweat. What is more, there is also the option of laser treatment which consists of applying heat in a localised manner to the glands in order to stop them from producing sweat. Both treatments are safe, effective and lead to immediate recovery. In order to choose the most suitable treatment, it is vital for a diagnosis to be made and an assessment to be conducted by a specialist doctor.

Beat the summer heartburn HEARTBURN is often a sideeffect of summertime over indulgence. It is estimated that around seven million Britons suffer from acid reflux, which is where acid or other substances leak from the stomach into the gullet, or oesophagus, causing a burning sensation and a recent survey has shown that for a third of sufferers, their condition gets worse during holidays abroad. A small amount of reflux is normal, but when reflux occurs at least once a week, it is defined as GORD; gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and cases are on the rise. Experts believe this is due to a poor diet rich in high-fat foods which exacerbate reflux, and the rise in obesity. So can you help reflux?As it is more a problem in those who are overweight, experts advise lifestyle changes to reduce weight and try and identify foods which can trigger attacks. So to avoid heartburn ruining your summer, try and avoid these foods: Pastries. Pastry is made with butter and is rich in fat and this fat takes more time to be broken down by the stomach meaning it has to produce more acid. Spicy foods. These are often believed to be the main cause, but some experts say it would be more the fat in curries that causes a problem, rather than the spices themselves, so unless you know spicy foods particularly upset you, in which case avoid it, curries could be back on the menu. Fruits. Certain fruits and vegetables can bring on heartburn, particularly citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruits, due to the acid in them. Alcohol. Unfortunately, whilst many of us may enjoy a summer tipple or two, alcohol is known for triggering attacks, but to help limit the damage, avoid fizzy drinks such as Champagne and Prosecco as they can cause more acid. Remember to always eat slowly allowing your food to be fully digested and eat early.

Shoulder pain, rotator cuff injuries and pain I READ a fascinating study at the weekend (what can I say? I love what I do!) that showed again that scan results DON’T show you what’s causing the pain. Pain and your MRI This particular study looked at rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. They did an MRI scan of nearly 400 patients and then asked each patient about their pain. Then they compared the answers the patient gave about their level of pain and

the MRI findings. Guess what? Patients with lots of damage visible on the MRI scans were NOT in more pain. This is confusing . . . For most patients this is how it goes: • Have injury / feel pain • Go to Doctor • Doctor recommends scan • Doctor looks at scan • Prescribes treatment based on the images So what happens when you feel a LOT of pain and there is hardly any damage on the MRI? Why is the shoulder important? In the muscles and tendons of the shoulder, particularly the rotator cuff, there are lots of nociceptor nerve cells. These are a particular kind of nerve cell that send ‘damage / danger’ signals to the brain. So a small injury to the shoulder activates a HUGE
danger signal to the brain. And the brain interprets danger as pain. What to do Get treatment as quickly as possible. The longer your brain is receiving an onslaught of pain/danger signals the more work is required to lower that message. These pain/danger signals can also result in pain seeming to ‘spread’ and include the elbow and wrist. Tennis Elbow and Carpal Tunnel like symptoms can often be related to a shoulder injury that wasn’t looked after properly. Don’t be dismissed - when you have a BIG pain / little damage situation, it can be easy to find yourself in the position of not being taken seriously. In an age where an MRI is the gold standard, if there isn’t significant damage on the picture, the pain in the person can be ignored. If you aren’t making progress, get a second opinion.

Halitosis
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. WHAT is halitosis? Halitosis, also known as bad breath, can be defined as the combination of unpleasant odours that are emitted by the mouth. It affects up to half the population. What causes it? There are two types of halitosis, oral halitosis and extra-oral halitosis. The first forms in the oral cavity itself, and is usually due to the accumulation of oral biofilm (bacterial plaque) on the tongue. However it can also be caused by other things such as: Periodontal issues, dental cavities, smoking and others. When halitosis originates from outside t h e o r a l c a v i t y, i t i s called extra-oral halitosis. It tends to be caused by systemic disorders of the upper or lower respiratory tract, the digestive system as well as hepatic or renal illnesses. C a n i t b e p re v e n t ed? Maintaining adequate oral hygiene, including brushing your teeth and
tongue, as well as mouth should be enough to prevent halitosis. Should I seek medical help? Yo u s h o u l d a l w a y s see a specialist in order to determine the origin of the halitosis and how best to treat it. In most cases it is due to problems within the mouth however sometimes it can be the sign of a more serious illness. How can I tell if I have halitosis? In general, halitosis is difficult to diagnose, as it is highly unlikely that a person will notice their own bad breath. In some cases a person merely suspects they have bad breath. If in doubt, it is worth speaking to people you trust who would be able to notice bad breath. Help from an orthodontic specialist can also aid diagnosis. When diagnosing someone with halitosis, fundamental aspects of their life, such as their general health, their habits, and their oral hygiene are taken into account.

When I saw him and he started to sing and move my jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe it. My jaw just dropped! He was Elvis Presley to a T.” So for Elvis fans everywhere Mijas Auditorium is the place to be on Wednesday August 16 and pay homage

Michael went on to co-write several more songs for both singers. Michael would achieve his greatest success in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a singer on the adult contemporary charts.

the Bay. Redding’s widow, Zelma Redding, said she was so moved by Bolton’s performance “that it brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me so much of my husband that I know if he heard it, he would feel the same.” Always interested in soul and Motown classics, Michael’s success with that song encouraged him to release his version of the standard Georgia on My Mind, with which he had another hit. In 1991, Bolton released the album Time, Love & Tenderness which featured his Grammy Award-winning cover version of When a Man Loves a Woman. Michael sported his iconic locks until 1997 when he did the unthinkable and cut it off for charity. Even today, 20 years, he remains synonymous with those locks. “I had no idea it would be such a big deal. I remember I was in London and I was watching some serious news story, when they interrupted the bulletin with, ‘News just in Michael Bolton cuts his hair!’ It
was hysterical. “But we raised about $9,000 (€7,600) for women and children at risk, so it was worth it.” Michael is passionate about his charity work. In 1993, he established The Michael Bolton Charities, to assist women and children at risk from the effects of poverty as well as emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Michael continues to be inspired by Motown and soul music and his audience can expect to hear many of his most popular numbers from his current album Songs of Cinema as well as many of his greatest and most popular hits How Am I Supposed To Live Without You?, How Can We Be Lover?, Time, Love And Tenderness, Can I Touch You There and his unique interpretations of classics such Fly Me To The Moon, Summertime and That’s Life when he performs in Palma.

The Spiders from Marbs SUNDOWN SOUNDS see the debut performance of The Spiders from Marbs next Thursday at 9pm in front of La Cala de Mijas Town Hall. The free Sundown Sounds is an initiative of the Mijas Town Hall and is run by concert event organisers, Big M Promotions headed by Martyn Wood. The Spiders from Marbs was formed by members of the Costa punk band, The Reinfected, for a very simple reason. They couldn’t fit all of their
favourite Bowie songs into the repertoire of Punk without fundamentally changing the idea. They decided they could double the enjoyment by devoting a band specifically to Bowie, who is the main inspiration for many of the band, whether they grew up with him, or came to him later in the 80’s or 90’s. The name of the band is the clue to the music they play. Nearly all the songs are from the era when David Bowie styled himself as the androgynous alien, Ziggy Stardust, and his band were known as the Spiders from Mars. Their repertoire is largely taken from Bowie’s most productive and iconic period, the albums Changes, Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs. They also pay homage to Roxy Music, who were unquestionably the other leading innovators in the Glam-rock avant guard of the early 70’s. Singer and front man is exactor and media producer Roland Quesnel from England, whilst lead guitarist Mats Riedeborn, hails from Sweden, They are joined by rhythm guitarist Martin Hope who is a founder member of cult Birmingham punk band The Accused. On drums is Ivor Nussbaum from London and on bass, from Sevilla, is Jose Wela.
Music all for charity A NUMBER of local bands including Mentally Ska’d will be performing from 2pm on Sunday August 26 at Willies 9th Arse-Out Rally. The whole day will be raising funds for local charities and admission is just €15 to include free bar and barbecue as well as bands and DJs. Other musicians to appear include Karma, Champagne Jam, Ms King and Japio, Ricky Leach and Radio DJ Lee Jay. All are welcome to Las Golondrianas at Km 51 on the A366 Coin to Ronda road and camping is available.

A Whole Lotta Led IN 1996 a band called No Quarter decided that they wanted to bring the sound of the Led Zeppelin albums to the stage and became Whole Lotta Led. This is not a tribute but a bunch of five highly professional musicians who don’t wear wigs or pretend that they look like Zeppelin but just perform a variety of different songs, reproducing the Zeppelin sound to the best of their ability. The line-up consists of vocalist Lee, guitarist Nick, bass player Geoff, drummer Charlie together with keyboard player and second guitarist Martin which means they can reproduce many of the earliest numbers which were originally augmented on vinyl with overdubs. This is a band that is playing at least one major gig a week and they nor-
mally choose one of the albums to play in full or even one of the most famous Zeppelin gigs and deliver all of the numbers from that to a welcoming audience. The longest gig that they have ever performed lasted four and a half hours but for their upcoming Estepona Bull Ring visit, they will probably have a 90-
minute slot and will make sure that all of the most popular and requested numbers are to the fore. This is a big show which needs a lorry to carry around the huge drum kit and up to 15 different guitars, amplifiers and speakers so it is going to be a slightly stripped down band travelling to Spain but

spokesman Lee is confident that they will be able to deliver a superb performance. “This is our first gig in Spain and we are very excited about it” he told EWN “hopefully it will lead to further visits. We are delighted to be part of this venture, especially as we also love the music of Deeper Purple and Think Floyd who we will be performing alongside.” To learn more visit www.wholelot taled.co.uk.

FEW weeks ago we featured an article about allergies. I mentioned there are many restaurants now who take the whole allergy thing very seriously. In fact there are laws that govern menus and menu content here in Spain. Staff has to be trained with regard to this. But it does get a bit silly at times. A young chef in Australia has got to the end of his tether having received three orders in one evening that proves that some people take the opportunity to use ‘allergies’ as a way to rewrite the menu! His post on Instagram got a huge response from fellow restaurateurs as well as food writers.

True food allergies are rare, but for those who have them they are deadly.” Another said, “As a chef for over 30
NO ALLERGIES: If you don’t like something, then just say so. years I have had enough of fake allergies, it makes a chef’s life so hard and the life of allergy sufferers very hard.” Some of the requests that Chefs get are: ‘Shellfish allergy but love oyster sauce’ ‘Gluten free but love gluten as long as it’s not a piece of bread’ - ‘I’m Vegetarian but I love a chicken wing.’ How about Pescaterians that eat chicken? I used to have a delightful young lady client who was Vegan. She used to eat with us a lot because our chefs could always produce something interesting for her. But on some occasions she would order a Fillet
Steak. Her reason for the change of mind was because she claimed Vegan as her sort of detox and her steak an occasional guilty pleasure. That I understand. The classic of course is a couple on their first date. When ordering, it is not unusual to hear, “I’m allergic to onions” but invariably they just want to avoid onion breath! So, the moral of this story is if you have a genuine allergy then say so, If you don’t like or want a particular thing, just say so. But don’t lead the staff and kitchen into the fear there is an allergy - as that entails many different variants!
Apologies and thanks I WAS a little disappointed, yet pleased, that someone had picked me up on my oyster article of last week. Perhaps the headline distorted the article. I was not saying that oysters were responsible for food poisoning, but that they did not contribute to the illness any more or less than mushrooms, chicken or shellfish in general. In fact I think the article showed that oysters were considerably less likely to cause food poisoning than other items. (include mayonnaise and eggs in general) But I thank Eddie Cheeseman (what a great name for a foodie!) for his contribution to the argument. A little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing indeed. I used to offer £1,000 to anyone who could find an oyster farmer who told you that you just swallow, and not chew, an oyster, As you stated oysters are now purified by law, an allergic reaction to them is rare in the extreme. The only thing that can interfere with the cleansing process
is unfortunately human intervention. As you failed to point out there are now many oysters for sale here in Javea in most supermarkets. French mostly but more recently from areas in Spain. Tortosa (just below Barcelona) and Pontevedra on the west coast, all delicious. However, they are often displayed in supermarkets standing on end (so all the water falls out) and still no oyster knives on sale with them? We like to think we had something to do with the increased sales locally following our oyster hut at a seafood festival here in Javea. Personally I have introduced hundreds if not thousands of people to the delights of oysters (even in schools) for the first time, explaining fully what they were used for, and are used for now, and to date no-one has ever spat one out. You can be assured that over 95 per cent of people who have a negative response such as ‘I don’t like them’ or say ‘Ugh!’ when you mention oysters have
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.
never even tried one. If you do decide to ‘have a go’ find someone who knows all about them and can open them in front of you. There is so much material that could have been in your article including the difference between native and Pacific oysters yet you chose food poisoning? Regards Eddie Cheeseman The Oyster Man Thanks Eddie, as much as I often chew my oysters I do like the squashed sensation at the back of my throat as well, and I certainly agree about the oyster knives. There is surely more damage done by inexperienced ‘oyster openers’ than there is by eating them! As to the difference between the different oysters, I am more than happy to receive education! My sister is unfortunately one of those that ‘spitting them out’ or not even attempting to try them - they fall in to the mussels, clams and snail varieties is her defence and she still insists in branding them as ‘bogies’!

WHEN it comes to Viña Tondonia, most people would not tell the difference. The quality of this wine from Bodega Lopez de Heredia ranks among the best for Rioja aficionados, but with a leaning to French Claret! In 1877, its founder Don Rafael fell in love with the region and especially with the mythical area around the hilltop town of Haro. He recognised that there was a magical combination of soil and climate which would offer the perfect environment for producing a wine that would eventually become world famous The fermentation takes place in vast, impressive vats which are up to 140 years old. Beneath the winery is a complex network of underground galleries; hundreds of metres of slowly maturing, home-made barrels filled with ethereal liquid are kept for years before release. They take things to such a distinct level that their Reservas are aged for considerably longer than the minimal legal requirement for Gran Reservas - rather than 18 months + five years, they spend five to six years in barrel, then the same in bottle. As Luis Gutierrez - robertparker.com says, while awarding 93 points to the 2005 vintage explains : “The 2005 Viña Tondonia Reserva is a blend of 70 per cent Tempranillo, 20 per cent Garnacho, 5 per cent Graciano and 5 per cent Mazuelo from their vineyards in the meander of the Ebro River, where they have some 100 hectares of vineyards. The wine fermented in the original oak vats that are now some 140 years of age. There is no temperature control and malolactic was also in the vat. The wine was transferred to oak barrels where it slowly matured in their deep, humid caves for no less than six years. After this, it was bottled unfiltered after being fined with egg whites. I think the quality gap between Reserva and Gran Reserva has been getting smaller since the 2001 vintage and this 2005 is nothing short of exceptional. It’s clean and complex, with more freshness. The wine is very spicy and with a palate that feels very balanced, livelier than in the past. It has a long finish where the flavours are clean. Easy to drink and very pleasurable.” Not one you pick up from the Supermarket on a daily basis, but available at good wine shops at around 20€ a bottle. Santé. TONDONIA: One of the best.

Elegant gardens with little effort
FOR even the most experienced gardeners, tending plants under the ruthless Spanish sun can be a challenge at the best of times. The abundance of cacti and succulents in Spanish gardens and public
GARDEN MAINTENANCE: Well manicured yet natural gardens require good planning.
DICK HANDSCOMBE FOR most readers July was a hot, dry rainless month, the exceptions reported being heavy damaging hail storms in Andalucia and along the northern coast line. Current weather forecasts suggest that the drought conditions will continue but with more clouds around and a slight lowering of temperatures. Gardening should be reasonably comfortable now for first time for some weeks. Over the past 30 years, successful gardening in Spain has had to concentrate on recognising and focusing on the emergent risks such as: - Less summer rain and later autumn ‘gota frias’ as a result of concreting the Mediterranean coastline. - More imported plants as a result of needing to replace the stock of plants killed off in gardens and garden centres by the horrendous March 2005 air frosts. - Large forced versus smaller naturally grown plants for sale. - Plants for sale designed to be grown artificially versus
naturally. - Failure to use natural and normally safe insecticides and fungicides on a regular basis - Increase in non-Spanish gardeners and property purchasers with a genuine interest in gardening. - Failure for owners and gardeners/odd job men/women to develop garden strategies together. Reflecting on this point, what is required from the plots? If undecided or to review your objectives, here is a basic audit: - Is there shade to be able to sit out during the hottest days or hours? - Is there colour all year round without enormous water bills? Remember the multitude of greens are the most important. - Is there a regular source of salad leaves in large containers, raised beds or in the garden? - Is food available from the garden? Leaves, flowers, roots, fruits and meats are more important than local supermarkets or regional macro markets. - In summer, is essential garden maintenance done before the sun is hot and sweltering? - Are there sheltered windless winter spots to enjoy a rest from eating out and
113
internal/external views? - Is eating at home preferred to eating at local restaurants which are struggling to survive? - Are the kings and queens of the garden the resident owners, family or holidaymakers, pet dogs or invading cats? But stick to priorities. Which is preferred, that the garden looks natural or artificially pristine? Summer is to be enjoyed. © Dick Handscombe August 2017

Cat-sit in luscious Limousin, France! IT seems to be cat season this summer, there are some wonderful house-sits involving the care and cherishing of pet cats all over Europe. As David the Dogman says on his Saturday TRE radio show, “We love our pets and their care is the most important thing for their welfare.” Meet ‘Moo,’ a 12-year-old cat who was abandoned as a tiny kitten and rescued by Michael and his family, she is very sprightly and agile for her age and quickly became a much-loved member of the family. On Michael’s recent retirement and relocation to France, naturally he took Moo with them and she soon settled into their new home, claiming the twoacre garden as her own. He now prefers to have housesitters stay at their home, just one hour from Limoges city in the pretty Limousin region and is looking for a sitter for one week from Wednesday September 6 to Monday September 11. Can you help?
LIVELY MOO: The rescue cat who dominates this two-acre garden. 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!

Do dogs really dream about their owners? ACCORDING to a new theory developed by a Harvard psychologist, dogs are likely to dream about their owners when they
sleep. It has already been shown that our four-legged friends have a similar sleep pattern to humans, consisting of a phase of deep sleep followed by a period of REM (rapid eye movement). As dreams are believed to take place during this time, there is no reason that a dog’s night-time reveries wouldn’t be similar to those of humans. Given that humans tend to dream about the information they process during the day, Dr Deidre Barret, a Clinical and Evolutionary Psychologist at Harvard Medical School, believes there’s no
reason that dogs shouldn’t do the same. As dogs are extremely attached to their owners, Dr Barret claims that it’s likely that a dog’s dreams are in some way related to their owner; be that the owner’s face, smell or what they do to please or annoy their owner. Unfortunately for cat owners, feline companions are thought to be more self-interested when they doze. As they are more independent by nature, their dream-life will likely reflect this, so they are more likely to dream about hunting prey and their outdoor pursuits.

THIS is the word that is used when it is believed that dogs have the same feelings and emotions as humans and that they understand human language. A mistaken belief, of course. Dogs are not small, fur-clad human beings. They are canines. True, they are man’s best friend and companion because their natural instincts and hierarchical society blends into that of humans, and because they show loyalty and devotion to the hand that feeds them. As we have seen in the chapter on wolves, this bonding between man and dog happened thousands of years ago when both man and wolf lived similar nomadic lives as hunters roaming the country to seek food. The dog’s adaptation to our way of life was assisted and accelerated by man using selective breeding to develop the most desirable features, first to work for humans and then to turn them into pets. Even so, there remain, of course, fundamental differ-
ences between humans and their dogs. To take just one example, dogs live totally in the present moment. They do not worry about the past. They do not dream about the future. They are not endowed with imagination or feel grief, hate, jealousy or greed or other emotions that bedevil human society. They do have a high sensory ability which is often mistaken for a kind of sixth sense. They will understand that certain words like sit, stay or down require the right reaction if they are to be re-
Dogs will understand the tones of voices and whether general facial expressions are good or bad. warded with a tit-bit or p r a i s e . T h e y w i l l u n d e rstand whether a tone of voice and facial expressions are good or bad when they are spoken to, in whatever language, but they will not understand longer phrases. Human emotions are often attributed to dogs when, in fact, they are reacting instinctively. It is assumed that
dogs are happy to see their owners when they return home and it looks pleased and wags it tail. All it is doing is reacting in the same way a wolf puppy reacts when the pack returns with food from a hunt. It behaved in the same way when it was feeding from its mother along with t h e r e s t o f t h e l i t t e r. I t i s true the dog is enjoying a pleasurable experience but it is not pleasure in human terms. Another example of anthropomorphism is when it is believed that a dog is ‘sulking’ when it returns home from a stay in kennels, or is grieving over the death of a member of the family. In the latter case, what it will be feeling is the loss of a higher member of the ‘pack’ and the anxiety caused by no longer knowing its position in the family hierarchy. It will also be confused by the vibrations of distress it picks up from the family. Once the ‘pack’ has settled down again, the dog will make a quick recovery, for it lives in the present and doesn’t mourn the past. So please do not attribute dogs with human emotions. Try, instead, to understand their simple canine minds, which are untroubled by so many of our emotions. Sharing is caring !

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

Electric fence THE race to replace the combustion engine with the battery may soon hit a major hurdle. Alarming reports from Amnesty International and Unicef have found that slave children in Africa are producing much of the raw materials for the electric car revolution. Tens of thousands of children are mining cobalt in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. Meanwhile the amount of lithium mined in Afghanistan is expected to double in the coming decades. Concerns have been raised about the dependence of an electric future on a few resource-rich and very poor countries. There may simply not be enough cobalt and lithium to produce the expected 70 million electric cars being sold annually by 2050.

The modestly priced car can be snapped up new for less than €40,000 and is a far cry from the flash Ferraris and Lamborghinis often associated with the sport’s top earners. One caveat is that it is the most popular car bought by premier league players on finance.

SPV Racing brings LeMans life style experience to Costa del Sol At Club el Nautico by Alexandra in Benalmadena harbour August 12 - 13 SPV Racing brings its Ligier LMP3 Racing Car, which has competed at this year’s Road to Le Mans race. The SPV team will undertake live ‘pit stop’ demonstrations, tyre changing and refuelling. IN true LeMans spirit the event runs for 24 hours, the start is as the tradition with LeMans and the flag comes down at 3pm on Saturday August 12 and the checkered flag comes down on Sunday the 13th at 3pm. On static display will be a number of LeMans cars, the oldest a Ford from 1931 that competed 85 years ago. LeMans cars from Ferrari, 458 GT3, and Porsche 997 GT3 will also be displayed. In total seven cars and a lot of pit equipment will be lifted by crane up on the deck of Club el Nautico by Alexandra “We want to give people a chance to experience the LeMans spirit and see how the whole team works together to achieve success. Every pit stop will be perfectly orchestrated and every one of the 12 team members will do exactly the right thing at the right time,” said SPV Racing CEO Raul Garcia. Visitors will be able to see how it is to be a team member by changing tyres on a race car. The winner of the tyre change competition will have the opportunity to be in the pits with SPV Racing at one of the LeMans Cup Race. If your interest is more on the driving side you will be able to drive LeMans cars in the GTROS sim racing simulators. GTROS, a Malaga-based company, and SPV Racing are collaborating in training drivers in advanced racing simulators for development of driver skills for both new and professional drivers. At the event the visitors will be able to experience a LeMans cars in GTROS simula-

tors and if they want challenge SPV Racing drivers Alvaro Fontes and Andy Cummings. The fastest challenger will be invited to ride with Alvaro Fontes at the fantastic Ascari Race Resort outside Ronda in SPV Racing Radical SR3. Race cars are regarded by many as ‘a piece of art.’ At the event visitors will be able to see various art pieces from four very outstanding artists, who practise in four different artistic disciplines. Phillip Dutton-White is displaying watercolor and acrylic paintings of LeMans and racing cars. François Duerinckx will have a number of pop art sculptures and photographic prints related to motorsport on display. David Marshall the renowned sculpture is displaying sculptures made of engine parts
and Stephane Abrantes will show photographic racing pictures. Club el Nautico Restaurant and Lounge, which is being gradually refurbished, will be serving its very own selection of tapas, some with Nordic influence, as well as holding the Gala Dinner on Saturday evening. Just as at LeMans when the sun settles it is time to chill with live music and DJ enjoying the spectacular views at Club el Nautico by Alexandra. On Sunday its family and fun at 10.00am. the focus is on children’s activities. From 12.00 until the checkered flag comes down at 3pm there is a barbecue and finals in the simulator and tyre change competitions as well as the wettest race of the season for the drivers. A very special version of the LeMans circuit has been designed in the waters outside Club el Nautico by Alexandra. Fifteen competitors will take the traditional LeMans start on the beach heading out into the water competing for the honours and prestigious golden bucket. It is SPV Racing’s intention to give the Costa del Sol a taste of the LeMans endurance race and lifestyle. SPV Racing is ‘on the Road to LeMans’ a journey toward the 24hr race in Le Mans, France. “We want to share our experiences with our partners, fans and followers and make this a yearly event at this fantastic venue”

Classic Car Club of Andalucia HE Classic Car Club of Andalucia has grown in stature and numbers considerably over the past nine years. There are a number of celebrity members and motor-sport luminaries as members and a first class number of life-time honorary members. These include former Jaguar works racing driver, Win Percy, former WEC champion and Porsche works racing driver, John Fitzpatrick. These two are still the only Brits ever to have taken on the famous Australian race, the Bathurst 1000 and won it! That was in 1976 and 1980. Retired McLaren F1 Team boss Jo Ramirez and also one time Ayrton Senna F1 teammate and now Sky TV F1 commentator, Mark Blundell, Dragon’s Den TV star and classic saloon racer, Theo Paphitis, and top classic saloon racing driver, Kerry Michael MBE, are also among the glittering list of honorary members. The Club is indeed blessed! At one recent Clubnight it was discovered that no less than five of the members dining together that night had competed on the 1979 International Welsh Rally together but possibly didn’t know each other then! From the world of rallying we have British Open champion and Ford World Championship co-driver Peter Davis. Jackie Ashby, former British Ladies Rally Champion is a member. So too Alison Evans, the only lady to finish the Monte Carlo Rally as a driver and a co-driver. Former British Open Champion and Audi works co-driver, Roger Evans too. Former BL works supported rally driver, Ian Giles, is the Club Presidente and there are many, many more………

CCCA racing along!
SPV Racing weekend AT the recent Clubnight there was a talk from the owner of the Le Mans LMP series SVP race team, Lars Lindberg, which was fascinating. SVP Racing are inviting CCCA members to their fun weekend and demonstrations of PitStops etc in Benalmadena Puerto on Saturday and Sunday August 12 and 13. See the Club Facebook pages for more information. The Euro Weekly News itself is very much involved in this superb weekend and will publish more information. Do come along and have a look, there will be something for everyone.
The Ennstal Classic Rally, Austria WHILST mentioning some notable Club members they are not all retired! Two CCCA members were recently in Austria competing on the famous Enstall Classic Rally. These were Jo
Ramirez, driving a Porsche 911, and Clément Eijffinger in his very pretty Alfa Romeo. There will be photos from the event on this page. Both cars finished the event and this is what CCCA’s Jo Ramirez had to say about the Rally:“The Ennstal-Classic is without doubt one of the best, if not the best, Rally in Europe. Run in beautiful countryside around the river Ennstal, between the towns of Grobming and
the Schladming-Dachstein. A region crossing some of the greatest driving roads in the world. This year, on it’s 25th anniversary, they seem to have found the very best roads ever, with amazing scenery and almost no traffic at all, wherever you turn your head. It is like a post-card, and you want to stop and take a photo, waiting for Julie Andrews to come down the mountain singing ‘The Sound of Music’ ! “The Rally is run over three days
with around 450 km for each of the first two days, and a short run on the last day. Almost 270 cars were present from 1924 to 1972. There is a superb dinner party every night, in wonderful locations, and a gala dinner for the prize-giving night. Not only the cars are interesting, but also the people, and a wonderful atmosphere prevails at all times. For me, it is also very special because on this rally I met my partner, Ursula, who was, and still is, an unpaid worker for the Rally. “When someone enters the rally for the first time they will enjoy it so much they will want to keep going year after year. Stirling Moss has done them all, except this year due to poor health, I have done it for 15 years and counting and five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell, Jochen Mass, Hans Stuck, Alex Wurz, Rauno Aaltonen, Walter Rohl, Marc Surer and Dieter Quester are also regulars. Mark Webber and Neel Jani did it last year, and came back this year, and so many other personalities from different walks of life also enter and remain fascinated like Rowan Atkinson, Patrick Dempsey, Franz Klammer and many German and Austrian personalities from show business. Wolfgang Porsche, the owner of Porsche, and his son Ferdinand also have become regular participants since Porsche has become one of the Rally’s Sponsors. “As a competition, the Rally has a lot of special stages where you should keep to an average speed of about 50kph over the most twisty and ‘up and down’ road sections with photo cells hiding all along the stages. It is this which makes the Rally not only skilful but interesting, rather than boring timing controls like those on the Mille Miglia. “This year the Classic Car Club of Andalucia had two entries, myself and Clément Eijjfinger. I entered a Porsche 911 and Clément entered his beautiful Alfa Romeo. We finished almost together in the final classification! I hope we will both be back next year and maybe with others from the CCCA!” That’s it until next time! Next CCCA events are in September.
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.

WITH so much sport taking place over this last week, it would take me two pages to cover it all so I’ve chosen the best of the action, and I’ll begin by congratulating Joe Root and Mo Farah on their achievements in cricket and athletics. Root, b a t t i n g a g a in s t South Africa, became only the second Englishman, af-
ter John Edrich, to score a half-century in 10 successive tests (he’s only two behind record holder, AB de Villiers) while Farah won his 10th major race in a row with victory in the World Championships 10,000m. And the 5,000m is still to c o me b efo re h e e n d s his track career in Zurich next month. Thereafter, he’ll run marathons only.
