Countdown to crisis Plans for outlawed poll continue

By Kat Ashton CATALUÑA appears set for a head-on clash with Spain.

It comes as the regional council prepares to defy Madrid next Sunday by holding an independence referendum which the national government insists is illegal and will be stopped.

Spain’s attorney general Jose Manuel Maza refused to rule out the possibility Catalan president Carles Puigdemont could be held and charged with unlawful behaviour, while police will be deployed at polling stations to stop people voting.

Maza claimed in a radio interview that the regional president could be charged for disobedience, breaching public duties, and misusing public funds after he financed the vote despite it being banned by the Spanish constitutional court.

The bombshell comes days after Spanish police swooped to arrest 14 Catalan officials and

seize almost 10 million ballot papers in a series of raids which sparked furious protests in Barcelona after tens of thousands poured onto the streets.

Madrid’s finance ministry also put the squeeze on the region’s finances to prevent government money from being spent on the campaign as the crisis deepened, before chartering ferries to transport thou-

Meanwhile, Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy last Tuesday paid a visit to the White House to meet US President Donald Trump, who said that it would be “foolish” for Cataluña to leave Spain.

“I really think the people of Cataluña would stay with Spain,” he added.

While the international community has so far yet to get in-

volved in the dispute, a split would likely impact Spain’s relationships with trade partners like the USA, since Cataluña generates around 20 per cent of the country’s wealth.

Rajoy has repeatedly declared that the vote is unlawful and a clear breach of the constitution, but Puigdemont has vowed that the region is ready to declare independence within 48 hours of a victory for the yes campaign.

Airport drama dodged TRAVEL chaos in Spain could be avoided at the lastminute after a deal ‘in principle’ was agreed between workers’ unions, airport operator Aena and air navigation manager Enaire.

The parties have signed a deal which must now be ratified by the Ministry for Development.

Specific terms of the deal have not yet been confirmed but the CCOO, UGT and USO unions had been calling for pay increases and more staff.

Airport workers - including firefighters and air traffic controllers - had threatened 25 one-day strikes leading up to Christmas.

Aena operates 46 airports across Spain. The operator saw 230.2 million passengers pass through its airports in 2016, when it made a net profit of €1.164 million.

Rich history

High quality

SPANISH cured ham has been a delicacy since the Roman times and was traditionally made in mountainous regions in the south-west. Families would breed and fatten their own pigs domestically and just one pig was often enough to last the household for a year.

Each year, all the family members participated in the matanza (sacrifice) sometime during the first few weeks of November. After the legs were packed in sea salt and hung to dry in the cool, winter air, the rest of the carcass was used to make chorizo, salchichon and morcilla sausages.

69

JAMON SERRANO (literally ham from the sierra, or mountains) encompasses all the other types of dry-cured ham made from other breeds of pigs. Although less expensive than Jamon Iberico, it can still be quite costly outside of Spain and is usually served in thin slices as a tapa. These hams are dried for up to 18 months in sheds built high in the hills to help the curing process, which is why it became known as ‘mountain ham.’

Cash back for two British couples A COURT in Malaga has ruled that Banco Popular must return the investment made by two British couples on an illegal development in Marbella.

The couples paid €103,000 in advance for the properties in 2003 with the intention of moving in two years later once they were complete. It later turned out that the developer was building the complex illegally and was forced to suspend construction.

The court has now ruled that the bank must pay the money back, plus interest, and pay for the costs of retrieving the money.

Health & Beauty

Cut above the rest THE most expensive ham - Jamon Iberico de Bellota comes from the black Iberico pig, which is fed a diet of acorns, or bellotas, and reared on fresh mountain air until it reaches the optimum weight and is taken to be ‘sacrificed.’

Iberico pigs can eat up to 10 kilos of acorns a day, so they are normally much fatter than normal swine. This allows the meat to be cured for longer - usually between two to four years - and results in a more intense flavour that is unparalleled in the ham world. The acorn diet also gives the premi-

The case is one of several that have been filed against the Marbella Vista Golf company. None of the homes were completed on time and they lacked a habitation licence, which denied the buyers the deeds to the property. The entire complex was later declared illegal and its building licence was revoked by Marbella City Council.

As the company filed for bankruptcy in 2013, which complicated legal proceedings, the plaintiffs then sued the Banco Popular where the company had deposited their investments and were successful.

Spain authorises extradition THE Spanish National Court has agreed to request the extradition of Carlos Fernandez.

As reported in Euro Weekly News (issue 1681), Marbella demanded the disgraced former-councillor be returned to Spain to face justice.

It comes after he was caught after being on the run for 11 years, having allegedly embezzled thousands of Euros during his time on Marbella Council.

He reportedly underwent facial surgery in order to remain undetected in Argentina, where he had a partner and fathered two children.

Speculation regarding the circumstances of his arrest has arisen after photos seemingly show him in different clothing and without handcuffs, leading to rumours that he handed himself in as part of a deal.

A bail request from his lawyer was denied by the Argentine court. He is likely to be extradited within a month.

elaborated further on the subject with local media sources and admitted that “voting is one of the great concepts of democracy, but we shouldn’t forget that it isn’t the only one. There is also respect for the law, the rule of law, which is very important.”

The actor has also just been announced as the star of the TV show Genius which will be centred on the life of legendary Malagan artist Pablo Picasso.

AS the proposed referendum in Cataluña draws ever closer we can only speculate as to whether we will see tanks stationed in the Plaza de Cataluña next Sunday.

The Spanish government is becoming more belligerent towards the Catalan parliament and the Catalonians appear unwilling to back down in any way.

If this was happening during the Arab Spring then western newspapers would surely be forecasting revolution and anticipating an armed struggle.

It is just 78 years since the Spanish Civil War finished, only 40 years since the return to democracy and the revelation of abortive plot to overthrow the king and 36 years since the attempted coup which saw Guardia Civil officers enter the Cortes with guns drawn.

Life outside of Catalonia goes on but regardless of the outcome of the vote - assuming it goes ahead - this has to be such a major event in the history of Spain and a pointer to a future which is going to be beset with disagreement and rows with the possibility of various separatist parties jumping on the bandwagon.

The problem is that people rarely learn from the lessons of history and with partisan violence becoming a regular event in Europe, we have to hope that our relatively peaceful way of life is not disrupted by this dispute.

MALAGA Airport has monopolised air travel in Andalucia with 82 per cent of foreign arrivals to the region arriving through its gates.

It also accounts for 70 per cent of all air traffic to the region - national or international - according to a report just made public by the Ministry of Tourism. The report highlights how the airport is constantly expanding its links abroad and connecting to international markets.

Malaga is now the fourth busiest in the country after Madrid, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca. It receives 9 per cent of the total air traffic in Spain.

British travellers remain the most important, comprising 38 per cent of all arrivals and departures.

It will include a mixture of citizens, business owners, unions and coastal groups and is scheduled to hold its first meeting in October. The aim of the council is to ensure that all necessary changes are pushed forward, as a lack of coordination between different

Cardeña also states that the new council will ensure that “coastal services are available year-round and are of the highest level, because this is one of the places in the world where you can use the beaches for most of the year.”

Among other plans, the council will adopt new methods to guarantee the quality of the coastline, on top of the blue flag system that is already used, and draw up policies to help protect the environment.

Wildfire prevention group INFOCA has attended 86 forest fires this summer, which have destroyed 244 hectares in Malaga Province.

Despite these statistics, the province has fared well when compared with other areas such as the recent blaze in La Granada Riotinto, Huelva, which seared through 3,852 hectares.

This figure alone amounted to more damage than the entire Andalucian Province. A total of 96 per cent of fires in the province last year were caused by negligence.

Gas leak victims come home

By John Smith A PARTY of pensioners has returned to Malaga Province after being hospitalised following a gas leak at a Spanish hotel.

In all 27 people, including nine British children, were ferried from the four star Hotel Campomar in Isla near Santander, Cantabria, to a local hospital.

SPRUCED UP: The Torre del Cable.

Tower triumph THE tumultuous political upheaval in August meant that completion of work to Marbella’s Torre del Cable was overlooked.

But the €130,000 project has been a resounding success.

The tower is one of the most important symbols of the city’s mining past and is located about 300 metres from the coast. The tower, built in 1957, was the final station in a transport system that enabled the city to extract iron from the Peñoncillo mine.

When the industry closed in the 1970s, the tower became a relic of the city’s industrial history but fell into disrepair in recent years.

The Spanish government invested the money to get the tower looking back up to scratch, which included giving it a fresh lick of paint and removing any old features that were considered hazardous to the environment.

Those who can prove their residency are able to use the service without charge on the last Saturday of every month.

New bridge gets the go ahead THE Malaga regional council has given the green light for the construction of a controversial pedestrian bridge over the Guadalhorce River.

The wooden walkway will be built at the mouth of the Guadalhorce to allow pedestrians and cyclists to pass along the 180 kilometres of coastline between Manilva

and Nerja without interruption.

The project has been delayed since January 2015 while the council made modifications to prevent the 260metre construction from causing flooding or damaging the environment.

The council only has to release the information about the upcoming construction

to the public, along with any environmental studies, before they can gain access to the €1.5 million funding for the project.

Officials hope to start work on the bridge in the coming months although environmental groups have criticised the project since it crosses an important area for breeding birds.

REVEALING: The mayor (right) unveils the poster for the fair earlier in the year.

THE People’s Party (PP) have revealed that more than €90,000 was allocated to pay for extra expenses at Alhaurin de la Torre’s summer fair.

After continued insistence from opposition groups to detail the increase, Mayor Villanova confirmed it was spent on “celebrations, culture and sport.”

But opposition group Alhaurin Despierta criticised the splurge, claiming that the money was used to fund “artworks and roundabout decorations designed by the mayor,” and demanding that such projects be put to a vote in future.

They added that projects should be be awarded through channels open to the participation of artists.

The mayor rejected this idea. He said: “I decide the designs and sculptures and who I trust to provide the town with them.”

Pedestrianisation of the town centre will begin early next month as well as the refurbishment of a 19th century edifice of great historical importance, Casa Maria Barrabino, which will become the centrepiece of Plaza Costa del Sol. Once this is completed, work on the rest of the main square will take place, as well as those on Avenida Palma de Mallorca which is set to become an eye-catching boulevard.

A large pergola will also be added in the centre of the Plaza.

The stone fountain will be moved back to its original location and further plans are in place in an effort to boost the visual impact of the routes into the town centre including kiosks, markets, flower stands and art exhibitions.

In addition to this, the main drag into the square will be bordered by palm and orange trees.

These works are intended to make the area a perfect location to spend leisure time and attract even greater tourist numbers than those enjoyed already.

Do you have a mortgage in Spain?

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

What is a Ground Clause?

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

What is the legal situation with the Ground Clause?

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

The Spanish government has created a national law in order to regulate Ground Clause claims.

Must the banks return what you paid in excess?

No at all, the new Government law does not really oblige banks to pay back. What the law established is a system prior to the judicial claim where, after a client’s claim, banks are required to inform of the extra amounts paid

Despacho Jurado Grana Abogados E-Mail: juradograna@icamalaga.org Web: www.juradogranaabogados.com for the application of the Ground Clause and states whether they agree with the customer’s claim or not. So really what the law says is that the bank must inform about the amounts paid in excess and give an opportunity of a deal to the parties.

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

- A mortgage statement from beginning to update.

Please ask for a free appointment in order to get a valuation of your case. You won’t pay solicitor fees until you get your money back, get a judgement or we eliminate your ground clause.

FORGET Gap Year students donning backpacks and exploring the globe, according to recent travel trends, it’s the over 50’s who are consistently taking globetrotting by storm and travelling further afield and more often than ever before.

An impressive 85 per cent travel more than twice a year.

And why not! The over 50’s are living longer and are more health conscious - and with a greater disposable income, it would be a shame not to travel wouldn’t it?

Holidays escalate higher up our ‘essentials list’ as we get older and what’s more, the older we get, the more we like to travel - with over 65’s being the most prolific travellers of the over 50’s market. With the time, interest and enthusiasm to explore the world, over 50’s are travelling to more adventurous and undiscovered places than ever before. Whether it’s

Travelling further afield visiting family, taking a trip of a life time on the Orient Express, luxury cruise, or glamping in Nepal or Borneo, there is no stopping this sea change, so don’t forget to make sure you are covered by a quality travel insurance policy for that essential peace of mind.

That’s why at Globelink from October 1, we will be expanding our products to offer Annual Multi-Trip Insurance to the over 75’s and extending the trip durations available on our 71-74 yrs Annual Policies.

You will need to wait until on or after October 1 before you can view or purchase these new products, but we look forward to you taking a peak - especially as we have also improved the Cancellation and Curtailment benefit on all of our products, so you now get £6,000 of cover per person on our Comprehensive cover with Cruise cover as standard on all policies!

MULTI-TRIPS POLICY: Decide on essential cover you need.

On the whole, travellers over 50 are smarter when it comes to buying travel insurance. As a seasoned traveller, you understand the importance of having the right cover and what can go wrong if you don’t. But which policy is best to buy? You can be forgiven by being baffled by the variety available so we have outlined some key items to look out for: - Is it better to buy an an-

nual travel insurance policy or a single trip? This dilemma is easily solved by asking yourself some simple questions - Are you considering two trips outside of your home country? Will you be travelling outside Europe for one of these trips? Eg: long haul to the US or Asia? Thinking of a winter sports break as well as a summer break?

If you answer ‘yes’ to any

of these questions, then odds are that it will be more cost effective purchase an annual multi-trip policy.

- Don’t just look at the price - check the detail. Such as the maximum trip duration being offered. You don’t want to find yourself uninsured for your longest trip. Also check Excess levels and Geographical restrictions. These all impact on price.

- Decide on essential cover you need. For example Medical and Repatriation expenses, which will likely run into thousands if things go wrong. Also think about the value of your holidays so you can ensure that the Cancellation and Curtailment cover is right for you.

What luggage and valuables will you take with you?

- Do you have Pre-existing Medical Conditions? Most policies have restrictions and it could invalidate your claim if you do not fully declare every-

thing at the time of purchase (and if something changes after you purchase). Most companies cover certain stable conditions as standard and there may be the option to pay an additional premium to cover preexisting conditions. Globelink will be expanding the list of conditions covered as standard from October 1 to include reflux, certain cancers and many others, so take a look at our website after October 1.

- Is cruise cover included?

With cruise cover becoming ever popular you may want to look for a policy that covers this as standard, in case you later opt for a cruise trip as one of your breaks, otherwise this could make your policy premium rise a lot. Look out for other extras too such as adventure activities as these all make a difference.

FINANCE New LIDL chief

AS the British public found another new bank note, entering into circulation, a report suggests that despite increased usage of technology, cash is still king.

The new £10 note featuring Jane Austen to commemorate the 200th anniversary of her death has been produced with a number of new security features to attempt to prevent forgery but as with the Winston Churchill £5 note it is printed on polymer which contains an element of tallow made from animal fat.

Uber and out step to refuse to renew their licence due to “public safety and security implications.”

Whilst the London division of Uber says that it has 3.5 million customers a year conveyed by 40,000 drivers it has been blamed for increased congestion, failure to police or report sexual offences, not doing proper criminal checks and a rise in collisions.

The company has 21 days to appeal the ban and can continue to operate in the meantime.

THE attempted takeover of Spanish toll road group Abertis by Italian company Atlantia is being challenged by British fund TCI. The Children’s Investment Management Fund (TCI) run by Sir Chris Hohn is the major private shareholder in airport management group Aena and it had lobbied the Spanish government to which it holds 51 per cent of Aena to make a bid for Abertis which was de-

AS the German supermarket group LIDL continues to grow in size and market share in Spain it has announced the promotion of Claus Grande to General Manager. His predecessor who was responsible for developing a stronger Spanish identity has moved within the group. For three years in a row, LIDL has seen greater growth than any other supermarket.

THE writing could be on the wall for Uber in Spain following a shock decision in London where Transport for London (Tfl) has refused to renew its private hire licence.

There have been taxi driver’s strikes in major cities in Spain due to the competition caused by the arrival of Uber which has been welcomed by many passengers but hated by registered drivers.

The Tfl indicated that it does not believe that Uber is “fit and proper” and took the

UAE boost THE UAE-Spain Economic Forum was held last week in Madrid to explore ways of increasing Spanish investment in the United Arab Emirates. A Spanish government spokesman stressed that the foreign trade policy of Spain classifies the UAE as a strategic partner.

Eurozone ACCORDING to Euromonitor International the eurozone continues to strengthen significantly but there is considerable divergence within the bloc. Spain is forecast as having 2.9 per cent growth in 2017 GDP whilst Italy may only manage 1.1 per cent.

According to Mintel, the world’s largest market intelligence agency with global offices in Europe, the Far East and Asia, the top three payment methods used in the last three months in Britain are cash (93 per cent), debit card (Chip & PIN) (82 per cent) and direct debit/standing order (79 per cent).

There is a steady growth in the use of contactless credit and debit cards in 2017 both in Britain and Spain but many older users dislike the charges that are sometimes associated with using cards abroad.

Allegations to be probed HAVING received 30 formal complaints against the board and principal directors of Banco Popular the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has received permission to investigate the allegations.

It is alleged that investors were misled and lost everything when the bank was sold to Santander for €1 at the behest of the European Central Bank.

Gold is still popular BULLION COINS ARE AN EASY WAY TO INVEST IN times of international trouble and dispute, investors like to head towards gold as an alternative option to traditional stocks and shares.

The precious metal has enjoyed a buoyant few months especially with the ‘disagreement’ between North Korea and the USA having gained 12.9 per cent so far in 2017.

The current price of €1,090 for a troy ounce of fine (24 carat) gold is only slightly down on its highest price this year but for the small investor, spot price and actual cost to purchase can be quite different.

In many ways the most sensible way of purchasing old is to buy bullion coins from reputable dealers and the larger the coin, the smaller the percentage over spot price they cost.

Countries such as Australia and South Africa which produce a great deal of gold are happy to use some of it in bullion coins in order to obtain foreign currency and the Kangaroo and Krugerrand amongst other gold coins are easily traded as well as being VAT free.

Investors are advised to keep well away from gold proof coins as although they are sold with pre-announced issue limits, they are sold at large percentages over spot and with so many being issued by literally hundreds of countries worldwide, the chance of a profit is very low.

There are other precious metal coins available, particularly platinum and silver but neither has the allure and general investment following as gold.

In addition to coins, it is possible to invest in bullion bars which have no legal tender status and may, in some countries be subject to VAT. Spain does not produce any gold bullion coins and the only regularly produced coins from European Union countries are from France

ED HARBUZ: Chief executive of The Perth Mint and a one ton gold coin.

and the United Kingdom.

Whilst it is attractive to regard jewellery as an investment, it is worth noting that modern jewellery tends to be sold at up to 300 per cent more than spot, is generally made from a mix of gold and a second metal in order to add strength and also attracts VAT. Jewellery is certainly an attractive way of owning precious metal but as an investment is not as certain as bullion coins which are portable and easily obtained, but like all investments, gold prices can go down as well as up.

Ryanair tries to sort out mess SPEAKING at the Annual General Meeting of Ryanair in Dublin, Michael O’Leary CEO admitted that the cancellation of flights would cost the airline at least €25 million.

He accepted that the problem was one caused within the airline as pilots tried to take 12 months of holidays in nine months due to an enforced change in the leave year and sympathised with passengers who had been affected.

The company is trying to persuade pilots to give up one week of their holiday in exchange for a cash payment which could be as much as €12,000 but both they and first officers are trying to hold out for new contracts and better conditions.

BRITISH BANKS TO CHECK IMMIGRATION STATUS

ALTHOUGH legislation has existed since 2016, it will not be until January 2018 that banks will be required to check on the immigration status of customers.

The decision has been made in order to try to identify whether bank customers are resident in the UK legally or if they have either overstayed their visas or absconded from immigration checks.

Information on the identities of known persons due for deportation from the UK will be supplied by not for profit organisation Cifas to the banks who will then be required to close or freeze accounts for anyone appearing on the lists.

As Cifas is primarily an anti-fraud and money-laundering operation and as banks are likely to have to check up to 70 million accounts each quarter, it is suggested by observers that this may not be the best way to police the system.

With such a large number of accounts to check, the fear is that the banks and Home Office which will also supply information could make mis-

takes, leading to perfectly honest customers having their accounts frozen, especially as the banks are likely to err on the side of caution in order to ensure that they are not penalised.

Chief Executive of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants Satbir Singh told The Guardian: “The government’s own record shows that it cannot be trusted even to implement this system properly.

“Immigration status is very complex, and the Home Office consistently gives out incorrect information and guidance.”

This crackdown which seems more likely to affect those with common ethnic names or multiple accounts, may go some way to stopping some fake accounts, but with advance notice, anyone who is illegally in Britain will have time to close their bank accounts and remove their cash.

Indeed much of the ‘black economy’ operates with cash and sees those without papers working for third parties cash in hand.

The government however also plans to crack down on landlords and employers who do not obtain proper documentation from those who have no right to be living or working in the UK. It is to be hoped that those expatriates living in Spain but with bank accounts in the UK will not fall foul of this new investigative procedure, although possession of a UK passport should go a long way to proving right of abode in the UK and Spain.

Sky TV now online WHILST many English speaking residents in Spain have been eager to learn details of the new Sky online package, it now appears to be cheap but not very inclusive.

The Spanish service is now available without contract at a cost of €10 per month with the first month free and a box costing €25.

The drawback is that there will only be 12 local pay-TV channels included in the package all broadcast in Spanish plus a limited number of ‘box series.’

Channels supplied with this new service include Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Disney’s XD and Disney Junior, Syfy, TNT, TCM and Fox which will allow subscribers access to The Wa l k i n g D e a d a n d B i g B a n g Theory.

Due to licensing arrangements, there is no offer of Sky Sports or Sky Movies and although inexpensive, the whole package will have to compete with Amazon, HBO and Netflix as well as the English-speaking channels supplied unofficially via VPN or IPTV.

Spanish government has not spent EU youth grants CRITICS of the Spanish government claim that they are running the risking of further alienating unemployed under 25s even though the EU had granted €1.9 billion.

Despite the fact that the Spanish economy is recovering more quickly than most of the eurozone, the huge number of young people still unemployed is close to 40 per cent and many who do have jobs have short term contracts which pay badly.

The European Union youth jobs and employment programme was launched in 2014 but because Spain was required to spend the money first and then reclaim, it was initially reluctant to spend more money as it was being threatened with fines if it didn’t reduce the public

deficit.

Now with the economy in a much happier state, it has to spend €1 billion by the end of 2017 and the balance in 2018 and opponents suggest that the government doesn’t have a proper plan in place and therefore is sponsoring useless training which youngsters only apply for because they are bored.

If this suggestion is based on fact, then there is a distinct possibility that the European Union will refuse to refund the money spent as it will be reviewing the effectiveness of the training programmes put into place.

There was some thought of using the funds to ‘top up’ low youth salaries, but this may not be acceptable under EU budgetary guidelines.

It’s not exactly rocket science is it?

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT WELL, well. For the first time ever, this week I had a post removed from my Facebook (FB) pages. The short video was indeed distasteful, but one I felt deserved as much publicity as it could get. The film showed a naked white man being kicked and stoned to death by a number of black youths on a busy street in South Africa.

This horrific act was taking place in broad daylight and with no assistance whatsoever from any law enforcement or indeed passers-by.

The whole incident made me sick to my stomach and in normal circumstances I would never have dreamt of passing it on to friends and pursuers of my FB page, but these are not ‘normal’ times, are they? Not only did the piece make me wonder how the public, particularly the ‘luvvie’ brigade, would have reacted had it been a black man being kicked to death by a gang of whites, but it made me seriously wonder where the priorities of those faceless individuals who control the FB content actually lies.

At any given time, on this and the YouTube social media site, you can see men with their heads being sawn off, women stoned to death

NO QUESTIONS: Social media giants won’t take action. and the goriest executions imaginable, so why, can anyone enlighten me, do they find the murder of a white man by blacks so abhorrent they deem it necessary to take down? Would it, I wonder have anything to do with the fact that South Africa has been a democratic disaster and

a place of danger and injustices for white people for years, far worse in fact than it was for the black residents during apartheid?

I have regular contact with a number of friends who are among the dwindling numbers of those whites who still try to exist in this most

dangerous and blatantly anti-white country. Basically, the terrorists are now in charge and, like Saudi Arabia, which is also run by an undemocratic bunch of cruel dictators, control so many of the world’s natural rich resources they literally get away with murder on a grand scale and are never brought to book.

Their horrendous practices are conveniently overlooked by the rest of the world’s leaders because, well, money makes the world go around and heaven forbid any adverse publicity should be allowed to interfere with world economy or affect the purses of the small number of faceless individuals who actually run the world we live in. No. Don’t expect any recriminations of SA from multi-billion conglomerates like FB or YouTube. It’s not exactly rocket science is it?

Well you didn’t think politicians were our overall masters did you? It’s all a game my friends and you, me and our esteemed governmental elects merely the players.

Much love and congratulations to my beautiful daughter Melanie and handsome beau David, tying the knot this weekend. I wish you long, happy and peaceful lives together, your old Dad couldn’t be more proud and happy for both of you.

INTERVIEW

Photo by Terry Stone

Festival continues to attract stars EXCLUSIVE

By John Smith FORMER club promoter turned author, actor and producer Terry Stone is to appear at the Marbella International Film Festival for the first time.

Alongside fellow star Craig Fairbrass he will walk along the red carpet at the Teatro Goya in Puerto Banus for the premier of Rise of the Footsoldier 3 which is a prequel looking at the life of one of the Essex Boys Pat Tate played

by Craig.

Terry Stone, who was involved in creating the first film as well as raising money for it as a producer, resumes his role as Tony Trucker (called Wiggy by any friends who think they are hard enough) and was excited to be reunited with all of the cast and crew from the first two movies.

“The movie is about boys from Essex spending time in Marbella as the back story of Pat Tate unwinds,” said Terry, adding “There is no question that these guys pre-date TOWIE by many years.”

All of his scenes were actually filmed in Essex so having seen so much of Marbella and the surrounding area in the completed movie he is looking forward to seeing the real thing when he attends the festival.

“It’s 10 years since the original movie and it has been great to work with all my old friends again.

“People who loved the first and second films won’t be disappointed with this prequel and if it is as successful as we hope, perhaps the next movie will

concentrate on my character Tony Trucker.”

Terry came to acting and film production quite late in life at the age of 32, having been an incredibly successful club promoter who became known as the Richard Branson of raves creating One Nation, Dreamscapes and Garage Nation.

Then called Terry Turbo, he was dedicated to making sure that audiences were safe and looked after at his raves and al-

The Bill he became involved as producer and actor in two very gritty and realistic British movies Rollin’ with the nines (which was nominated for a Bafta and won the Raindance Festival Jury prize) and Rise of the Footsoldier.

Since then he has appeared in numerous British films and formed Gateway Films, a production company with more than 20 succesful movies under its belt.

He has also just finished appearing in two other gritty crime dramas, We still die the old way (the third in the successful series) and Once upon a time in London as one of a pair of London gang bosses who paved the way for the Kray Twins.

The special showing of Rise of the Footsoldier 3 will take place at 7pm in Studio One at the Teatro Goya on Friday of next week with both Terry and Craig together with members of the cast and crew in attendance.

Every day and night promises a treat for the eyes with so many high quality films and documentaries either having their premiers or competing for prizes.

So important is the Marbella International Film Festival in the movie world, that actors, directors and producers from all over the world flock to the city to see and be seen.

though he never came into contact with the Essex Boys, he did have brushes with armed gangs who were trying to muscle into his world.

After producing a best-selling book about his success King of Clubs, out of the blue, he received a call to make a cameo appearance in a film and from there he knew that he had found a new direction.

Moving on up!

Costa sales soar as recovery continues PROPERTY SALES: Malaga Province is one of the most active areas in the current Spanish housing market boom.

By Sean Campbell EAL ESTATE is once again thriving on the Costa del Sol. The booming housing market is the reason behind a 43 per cent growth in the number of estate agents in the area since it hit a low in 2013 due to the lingering effects of the financial crisis.

Since then, 14,600 new businesses have been created in the Malaga Province and 2,900 of these are in the real estate sector.

In January 2017, the number of agencies operating in Malaga Province totalled 9,600.

This gradual recovery of the housing market proves a far cry from the economic slump that saw so many estate agents forced to close down and business is now as vibrant as ever.

The figures of the Central Business Directory, published annually by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), reveal that almost 20 per cent of the new businesses opening up in Malaga Province are estate agencies.

INE data use the concept of local unit to refer to the number of companies, which includes independent agencies, those belonging to a national chain or franchise, as well as self-employed.

In the last financial year alone, 650 new estate agencies were opened in the province.

R

Just as the global financial crisis erupted in 2008, there were more than 13,200 agencies in Malaga Province, a figure which steadily dropped to fewer than 6,750 in 2013.

The Spanish property market is now well and truly back on its feet, especially in Malaga Province where more estate agents have opened in the last four years than supermarkets, construction companies, food and beverage services, mechanics workshops as well as insurance and financial services.

This resurgence of real estate activities has provided a great employment boost to the area, with a 51 per cent increase in agency workers (salaried and self-employed).

In terms of sales in relation to population, Malaga Province places second on the national ranking.

Malaga Province had 17.16 sales per thousand inhabitants, a figure only slightly surpassed by Alicante (17.37) but higher than those of Almería (13.75) and the Balearic Islands (13.25).

Malaga Province is one of the most active areas in the current Spanish housing market boom, currently enjoying a profound level of success with 28,271 recorded sales from June 2016 to June 2017, a figure 9.25 per cent higher than in the previous 12-month period according to data

from the Registrar’s Association.

In total, Malaga Province has the fourth highest number of property sales in Spain, behind Madrid (63,037), Barcelona (51,010) and Alicante (32,068) but ahead of Valencia (23,644), Baleares (15,158), Sevilla (13,423), Murcia (12,274), Las Palmas (10,962) and Tenerife (10,602).

Experts attribute this phenomenal success to the well-maintained coast, the area’s tourist attraction and a high level of foreign demand.

The bulk of the strength of the market is mainly supported by resales (in Malaga this accounts for 81.5 per cent of operations and at the national level 82 per cent) with the rest being new builds.

The valuation company Tinsa recently highlighted the Costa del Sol as one of the areas on the Spanish coastline where the housing market is recovering fastest due to the increase in purchases and prices as well as the increase of new projects.

According to the report Housing in Costa 2017, Axarquia is in a clear state of recovery compared with previous years while the areas between Marbella and Manilva as well as between Torremolinos and Mijas, have been experiencing a steady revival for some time and are now confirming signs of further improvement.

LTHOUGH it is easier to purchase citizenship in the smaller European Union states such as Cyprus and Malta, Spain also offers succour to wealthy foreigners.

Just four years ago, the Spanish government introduced legislation to grant residency permits (known as Golden Visas) to foreign nationals who were either prepared to invest large amounts of money or were highly qualified in professions that Spain needed.

Since that time, after what was a relatively slow start, the number of Chinese and Russians in particular taking advantage of this option has actually increased with investment exceeding €1.5 billion since 2013.

This investment has been achieved with some significant ‘tweaking’ of the initial legislation in order to make inward investment more attractive although there are still a large number of quite

The fall in value of property in Spain and then the green shoots of recovery have helped to attract wealthy foreigners and adding to this has been an increasing number of executives posted to the major Spanish cities all of whom need to find accommodation for themselves and their families.

As Spain continues to be one of the stronger economies in the eurozone more and more wealthy mi-

grants are likely to settle in the country, especially as the government has made investment so much easier.

The natural step from residency is the granting of nationality which does come in time.

By Alistair S Clarke FCA FTER almost 40 years of uninterrupted socialist government, the PSOE finally lost its majority in Andalucia in 2015, although it was able to hang on to power in coalition with Ciudadanos, the new centre right party of Spain.

In return for approving the 2018 budget and propping up the minority government, Ciudadanos has just forced the PSOE to accept a substantial change in ISD. The Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones (ISD), Spain’s inheritance and gift tax, dates back to a 1987 law that replaced a similar law of 1967.

Since 1987, apart from some relatively insignificant tweaks, the law has remained largely untouched, including the tax rates and bands. Inflation has reduced the real value of money by 180 per cent since 1987 so, over the years, the real cost of ISD has doubled.

Because the authorities often assess tax on the theoretical value of a property and because properties have been difficult to sell in recent years, many fami-

Inheritance tax Andalucia 2018 Proposal for new significant exemptions Photo Credit: Lane V. Erickson Shutterstock

28 Sept - 4 Oct 2017 / Costa del Sol

Property is likely to be an important part of any inheritance.

lies have simply had to give up inheritances because they can’t pay the tax.

In recent years the tax has been fully devolved to the Autonomous Communities (Andalucia, Cataluña, Madrid etc), which has seen this already unfair tax become ridiculous because regional variations are now extreme.

For example: Madrid has virtually eliminated the tax by providing a 99 per cent exemption for families but the PSOE in Andalucia, boasting its left wing

credentials, actually increased tax rates for the wealthy.

They improved exemptions for modest inheritances between family members but the rules were so badly drafted that they caused even greater unfairness.

The press releases announce that the general exemption to

ISD will be increased to €1 million per person. The general exemption for inheritances between close family is currently only €15,956.87.

It is important to know that ISD is payable by the beneficiaries of inheritances, not the estate of the deceased as happens in the UK and other countries. Conse-

quently, in the case of Wills that are designed to spread assets between several family members, each family member will be entitled to their own €1 million exemption.

The devil is in the detail and we must await the release of the text of the new exemption before celebrating too much. We have to make sure that there are no snags that the politicians sneak into the text to limit the exemption unfairly, as has happened in the past.

An example of such political trickery is that Andalucia currently boasts an exemption for close family inheritances of up to €250,000 when the beneficiary’s pre-existing wealth is less than €402,678.11. However, exceeding either of these limits by just one cent disqualifies the beneficiary and results in only €15,956.87 being exempt.

Caution aside, this could turn out to be very good news indeed for people wanting to invest and live in Andalucia as ISD has always been a significant disincentive. For a guide to the current ISD system visit: https://www.spenceclarke.com/ pdf/17.pdf. www.spenceclarke.com

Estate agents thriving

By Matthew Elliott

THE number of real estate agents in Spain has skyrocketed since the property sector entered full recovery mode in 2014. Data from Spain's national institute of statistics shows that there are 5,000 more offices on the streets than there were three years ago.

In Madrid alone there are some 31,000 real estate companies, roughly one for every 200 residents. In the capital there are more real estate offices per person than there are supermarkets and grocers combined. There are just 16,000 taxis.

In terms of sheer numbers, with a rise of 18.5 per cent since 2014, real estate agents have bounced back better than any other sector in Spain’s thriving economy.

With 2017 set to close with more than half a million home sales, there’s little wonder the sector is in such rude health.

There is also a knock-on effect on employment and the construction industry, which is helping build hundreds of new real estate offices each month.

As is the case with prices and sales, the real estate growth is not uniform across Spain. Numbers are rising quickest in the twin cosmopolitan cities of Madrid and Barcelona.

The development’s strategic location makes it unique, surrounded by golf courses (El Campanario, Atalaya, Guadalmina, El Paraiso, La Quinta, etc), 1km from the nearest beaches.

Empty homes are finally selling

By Kat Ashton THE backlog of unsold property is finally decreasing in Spain, but is still three times larger than it was in 2004.

The Spanish housing market is recovering in sales across all 17 of the country’s regions but there still remain a large number of properties that have yet to be sold. The total number has now dropped to 1.36 million, down from 1.7 million in 2010, but this is still over triple the number of empty houses in 2004, when there were just 400,000.

These numbers prove how demand for homes is uneven across Spain as a whole, as stock in popular tourist locations such as Barcelona, the Balearic islands, the Canaries and Malaga is predicted to run out in just three

years. Several banks are currently in talks to finance the construction of almost a million new properties to satiate this trend.

The future continues to look bright for the market, however, analysts at the consultancy firm RR y Acuña de Asociados predict that the

number of unsold properties in Spain will have dropped to 907,000 by 2019, and only 350,000 of these will be new builds.

market gets a makeover

By Kat Ashton

By Matthew Elliott OR the ninth consecutive quarter residential house prices notched up an increase. Across Spain houses are now on average just 27 per cent lower than the historical peaks reached in 2008.

On the coast the disparity is closer to 35 per cent since prices fell much harder during the crisis.

But Spain’s Mediterranean hotspots are fuelling the market's excellent performance in 2017.

But it is in the rental business that prices are really shooting up.

Second-home

New data from property website Fotocasa reveals that, at the end of August, rents had risen by 10 per cent compared to August 2016.

Landlords have clocked up 30 consecutive months of higher rental profits as the market leaps forward.

As in house prices there is still some catching up to do before 2008 levels are

reached. Rents currently fetch an average of €8.08 per square metre per month, compared to €10.12 a decade ago.

Only in Galicia did rents fall. The largest increases were recorded in Madrid, the Canaries, Balearic Islands, and Cataluña where they rose a robust 18.2 per cent, now costing tenants €12.13 per square metre.

Rental prices are shooting up.

A NEW report from the estate agents Donpiso has revealed new changes to the secondhome market in Spain.

The market has been dominated by foreign buyers over the past decade, looking for holiday homes on Spain’s extensive coasts, but now there seems to be growing interest from domestic investors.

Over six million Spanish households now own a second home, according to the report which is over an eighth of the population. Over half of these homes are located on the coast, either on mainland Spain or on one of the many islands.

The new increase has largely been attributed to the recent recovery in the economy. Higher employment rates and more disposable income have lead to a 20 per cent increase in mortgage lending over the past year. The current stability in the market has also given many Spaniards the confidence to invest in property on home soil again.

There is also a new crowd of foreign investors keen to get in on the action. While Brits have traditionally dominated the secondhome market in Spain, the last 12 months have seen an increase in demand from Dutch investors in particular, which is up 58 per cent.

Daniel Rueda and Anna Devis, from Valencia City, have received a lot of online attention after posting a series of photos which sees them posing in

quirky ways beside unusual buildings.

The photos document the pair’s unique perspective on the world around them - be that in their home city or on travels farther afield. Hence, it should not come as much of a surprise that they both have a background in design (Rueda is an illustrator and Devis is an architect).

Popular coastal getaways

By Matthew Elliott EW research from estate agents Donpiso reveals that foreigners buying a second home in Spain spend an average of €200,000. The costs vary considerably depending on which part of the coast they choose.

Alicante Province is right in the middle with homes going around the popular Vega Baja area for an average of €200,000. Slightly further south in Murcia the cheapest coastal average is found. Buyers can expect a standard seaside property for around €150,000.

Just north of Barcelona, along the extensive Costa Brava, holiday homes cost an average of €205,000. South of the Catalan capital, in the quieter Costa Dorada, prices drop to around €160,000.

Unsurprisingly, the most expensive mainland destination for holiday home buyers is the famous Costa del Sol. Those hoping to make the dream of a place in the sun come true should expect to pay around €350,000, more expensive than the British average.

Researchers found that Brits and

Top of the props!

Spanish market continues to thrive MARBELLA On the higher end of the property market, Marbella has long been a favourite of the rich and famous and boasts some pretty impressive luxury villas in its register. Nearby Malaga airport offers year-round flights to the UK and the town is known for its upmarket array of shops, restaurants and nightclubs - where you might just spot a familiar face or two.

MARBELLA: Upmarket.

By Kat Ashton PAIN welcomed a record number of tourists to its shores this summer, and the temptation to buy a second home abroad becomes even stronger after returning to the daily grind. The promise of a great climate, cheap flights and Mediterranean lifestyle is particularly appealing to Brits who continue to flock to buy property in their favourite holiday spots.

While the property market continues to show strong signs of recovery, a new survey by one of Spain’s top homebuilders has revealed which areas are the most in-demand among British investors:

S

MIJAS Just up the coast from Marbella is the popular village of Mijas, which offers a wide range of amenities so visitors and residents alike are never short of things to do.

With great beaches and golf courses in close proximity, not to mention an established community of UK expats, it is clear why more and more people are choosing to make Mijas their second home.

TORREVIEJA: Popular.

TORREVIEJA Topping the list as the most popular destination to buy a second home is Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca. This town is located in the southern part of the Alicante Province and seems to have it all, with affordable properties, white beaches, and the Alicante airport just a short drive away.

CALVIA: A great base.

MIJAS: White village.

CALVIA Mallorca has become a sought-after destination in recent years and draws in holidaymakers from across the globe. Once named the second best place to live in the world, the largest of the Balearic Islands promises a comfortable, happy and relaxed lifestyle. The historic town of Calvia is located within close proximity to the island’s most popular resorts so is a great base for families looking to relocate.

Grand designs IF your house is beginning to look a bit tired and could do with some sprucing up, there are several simple things you can do to make all the difference, especially if you are about to sell Shake up the shelves PHOTO BY UNSPLASH

By Kat Ashton

STYLISH: A statement or feature wall.

Make a statement

While the backs of shelves often go unnoticed, if you have any open or glass storage units you could try painting the insides a bright colour to add a bit of drama. Orange is a favourite among design gurus but matching the colour to a statement piece of furniture will also work well.

Mix and match

COLOUR ME HAPPY: Use contrasting cushions for a fresh look.

COVER TO COVER: New bedding can breathe life into a room.

It’s always a good idea to change your bedding every now and again, as getting some shut-eye becomes even more tempting when you have a new set of sheets to slip into.

Adding a soft comforter in winter could also save on heating costs as the nights start to get cooler.

TOUCHY FEELY: Use textures to create an appealing look.

make a great talking piece when you have guests over.

Sleep tight

A statement wall is a great way to give new life to a tired-looking room without having to make any major changes. Adding a stylish wallpaper or fresh lick of paint in a contrast colour will give any room a stylish new look.

Texture tricks

in a modern bathroom.

Having a mix of styles, when paired right, can actually make a house look more contemporary and livedin and less like a show home. An easy way to do this is by changing up the chairs around the dining table to create a less formal atmosphere, or swapping in a few new cushions on the couch.

BITS AND BOBS: Put your collection on display.

Light it up

Touch of tiles

Antique home-show

Adding a new furry rug, silky curtains or even textured wallpaper will bring an extra dimension to your home, and make it more tactile too.

Bold patterns are in so feel free to go as opulent as you like - it will also up the cosiness factor in winter.

SQUARE DEAL: Tiles are an interesting option.

RETRO: Old furniture can be renovated.

Tiles are not just for the bathroom floor and are often overlooked in interior design. Use a selection of small colourful or patterned tiles to decorate a fireplace or create a pretty mosaic feature on the wall.

A LOAD OF BULB: Use lights intelligently.

Cool collection

SHELF LIFE: A lick of paint can work wonders.

If you have any old furniture lying around, or spot a really interesting piece in a second-hand store, why not give it a good sprucing up and make it the star of the room? Painting an old table or cabinet is an easy way to start, but antique baths also make great statement pieces

If you have a penchant for collecting things, be that porcelain, picture frames or even buttons, why not display your collection proudly in one corner of the house? The pieces don’t have to match, in fact it is better if they don’t, and will

Having the right lighting can make all the difference, as it determines the kind of atmosphere you want to create for your home. Layering your lighting is a great way to add style and create an ambience, and can make a room seem larger or cosier, depending on how your play it.

DREAM HOME: Villa Moana.

Homes with the X Factor NY devoted (and loaded) fans of the X Factor can now get a taste of what it feels like to make it to the judges houses part of the show - by buying one of Simon Cowell’s houses.

Two of the luxury Marbella villas that were used in the series are currently on the market, but it costs a pretty penny to buy a piece of TV history.

One of the most iconic ‘judges homes’ used in the series is Villa Moana, where Simon Cowell memorably gave boy band One Direction their first big break and put them through to the live shows.

The stunning estate, often called the most luxurious villa on the Costa del Sol, will set you back a staggering €40,000,000.

With a tennis court, indoor and outdoor pools, and a 180 degree view of the ocean, it’s not hard to see why.

If €40 million is a bit of a stretch, wannabe pop stars could always opt for another villa Simon used during the show which is on the market for a bargain €2.5 million. The modern, five-bedroom

ALL hosts of holiday rentals want their guests to have the best yearly holiday experience in their property, but sometimes that’s not achievable.

Good reviews are the life blood of a successful business of renting properties.

My one and only bad review started with a phone call from my expected guest.

He couldn’t find the apartment in some Pueblo in Spain. After five more calls, and subsequent eventual arrival, his first words were, “Where’s the second bedroom?” and “Where’s the swimming pool?”

He spoke no English but I got the message. Shortly later I was called back to the property to be told, “Where’s the Spanish TV channels?

It’s all in English.” That problem was sorted out, at great expense the following day, with the installation of a Spanish TV system.

On leaving a week later, six hours after the required departure time, in order to allow cleaners in for the next guests, I discovered five strands of the terrace Venetian curtains cut off. And also an extra guest installed sleeping on the floor.

In his review he stated that the pictures on the website were not the same and had denounced me with the Guardia Civil for being a scam. It ultimately turned out he had looked at one property on the website, but mistakenly booked mine.

The experience for me resulted in being de-listed for rent with the website agency for five days. And only after three perfect reviews from the next guests was the man’s review deleted as false and malicious.

The ultimate result was a loss of some €400 on the rental of that guest.

The 10 most luxury Airbnb rentals in Spain

By Kat Ashton

E

VERY once in a while it’s nice to get the chance to see how the other half live, and with holiday rental sites like Airbnb branching out into the luxury market, it is now easier than ever. From castles to vineyards, stylish penthouses to seafront villas - it’s

1. Luxury modern seafront villa, Mallorca - €1,800 a night

Airbnb/Tourist Projects

6. Villa Miranda, Las Lagunas de Mijas - €8,050 a night

Airbnb/Sun Coast

2. Villa in El Paraiso, Marbella €3,800 a night

Airbnb/ Dennis

7. Casa Milana, Mallorca - €3,500 a night

Just a short drive from Puerto Banus in Marbella you can find this luxury property that blends the old with the new - high-end modernity with traditional Spanish hacienda touches. The accommodation is spread out across more than 1,250m2 and has a gym, playground, pool, and its own herbs and fruit garden.

Airbnb/Taylan & Guille

3. Camelot castle, Mijas - €944 a night

Airbnb/ Chris

Airbnb/Fabrice

Airbnb/Yvonne

This castle-style villa has one of the best views on the coast, with its cylindrical shape offering views from nearly every direction.

You can get into the castle spirit by lighting one of the two log-burning fires - not that this will be necessary in the height of summer. A full catering and maid service can be provided on demand.

Privacy is key to this exclusive residence on the Costa del Sol, as the house is nestled in a garden and the nearest neighbours are over 1km away. The villa has many high-end features to justify its intimidating price tag, including a spa, two saunas, two Turkish baths and a cinema room.

Perched on the edge of a cliff, take a dip in this luxury villa’s pool and you’ll feel like you’re swimming right out into the ocean. Fitted with every kind of amenity you might need including a padel court, games room, hair salon and spa, guests will find little need to travel out to nearby Palma when they have this piece of paradise to themselves.

8. Gorgeous golf villa, Marbella €1,075 a night

Airbnb/Peter

This modern property is perched right next to a golf course so is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their swing. Built over three levels with a stunning roof terrace, glass lift and eight hour daily staff service from Monday to Friday, it also has stunning views over Gibraltar and the North African coast line.

4. Sea Blue villa, Altea - €1,857 a night

9. Andre Iniesta’s vineyard, Fuentealbilla - €100 a night

Nestled in the cliffs of the exclusive Altea hills, this amazing property spreads out across over 500 square metres and has its own gym, cinema room and personal team of staff trained to cater to your every need, including a butler, private chef, spa therapist and pool attendant.

Definitely the most affordable option on the list, but probably the only chance you’ll get to stay in the home of a World Cup-winning football legend. The FC Barcelona player also gave one lucky person the chance to win a personal tour of the vineyard from Iniesta himself.

Airbnb/Bodega Iniesta

5. Luxury apartment, Marbella - €600 a night

10. Megayacht docked in Puerto Banus - €9,000 a night

Located right in the heart of upmarket Puerto Banus in Marbella, this spacious apartment has three bedrooms, all with en suites and is beautifully furnished with marble floors and chic furniture. There is also a 24-hour concierge service and a gym and sauna onsite.

Take to the high seas or party on port - this megayacht puts a whole new meaning into the term ‘luxury rentals.’ A night on this beauty costs the same as a deposit on a small house, but it’s worth it to be the captain of your own megayacht - even if just for a day.

New breed of real estate

By Matthew Elliott LMOST €400 million was raised when American investment fund Lone Star sold a 27 per cent stake in Spanish property developer Neinor Homes. The sale was more than expected, at around half of the fund’s total share of the recently floated developer.

Neinor was formed

by Lone Star three years ago and quickly began a symbol of the Spanish property resurgence, snapping up homes and land in the face of rampant pessimism.

It debuted on the Madrid Stock Exchange earlier this year with a value of €1.3 billion. It is exclusively a residential op-

erator, making its success even more surprising in an era when Spain had more than half a million ghost homes unsold after the

crisis.

Shares have continued to rise and now other newly formed and ambitious developers are following

Neinor’s lead. Residential construction activity has returned with a vengeance according to Spanish real estate experts CBRE.

Pyramid dream house becomes reality

By Kat Ashton AN architectural firm has dreamed up an inverted pyramid house deep in the heart of the Spanish countryside.

The Japanese firm TNA is planning to bring cutting-edge design to Matarraña in Aragon by taking the classic pyramid form and turning it upside down.

The designers have responded to developer Christian Bourdais’ Solo Houses project, which invites architects to build a house without restrictions in a rural setting.

Large cut-outs in the upper levels will provide lots of light and a view of the surrounding landscape. The roof will also boast a swimming pool, which all three bedrooms will have access to. The interior of the house will be divided by mezzanines which will define the living spaces while keeping the open feeling of the pyramid.

The Solo Houses project will feature 15 houses plus one hotel in total, with two of the residences already completed.

Other emergent firms include Kronos, Aelca and Via Celere. They are backed by giant foreign investment funds which see lucrative opportunities in Spanish property.

The new breed are eager to present a new face of Spanish real estate, one focused on flexible mortgages, quick, legal construction, family friendly prices and putting the consumer first.

The buoyant new industry is supported by a strong economy and thriving commercial property sector.

Offices, student hall, hotels and shopping centres are being constructed en masse across the country, built in tandem with ultra-modern new residential developments.

China State to buy out Spain’s OHL THE Spanish building company Obrascon Huarte Lain (OHL) is in talks with China State Construction Engineering (CSCE) over selling a stake of the company.

The company, which was founded in Bilbao in 1911, operates in 30 countries across five continents and is partly owned by the Villar Mir family who have a 51 per cent stake.

The potential deal comes after the company received increased pressure from creditors over mounting debt.

It is believed the group has short-term debt obligations worth around €500 million.

OHL stock fell around 3 per cent following reports of the negotiations in the Spanish press.

Waking up to a flightmare and a flight old mess!

NEARLY half a million passengers hit by Ryanair’s cancellation fiasco, half a billion pounds wiped off the airline’s value and CEO Michael O’Leary’s own admission: ‘it’s a mess-up’!

But knowing Ryanair, I’m sure it already has a plan to restore its fortunes. After all, you’ve only got to look for clues at O’Leary’s own past announcements: 1. On upright seating: “I’d love to operate aircraft where we take out the back 10 rows and put in hand rails. We’d say if you want to stand, it’s €5. People say: ‘Oh, but the people standing may get killed if there’s a crash.’ Well, with respect, the people sitting down might get killed as well.”

2. On low fares: “I don’t see why in 10 years’ time you wouldn’t fly people for free.

Why don’t airports pay us for delivering the passengers to their shops?”

3. On turbulence: “If drink sales are falling off we get the

RYANAIR: Stack ‘em high, sell ‘em cheap and (inset) beleaguered boss Michael O’Leary. pilots to engineer a bit of turbulence. That usually spikes up the drink sales.”

Those of you familiar with Ryanair will recall the bad old days: the no-frills flights but with all the usual trimmings.

The constant hard sell from the moment you boarded to the moment you landed: snacks, scratch cards, duty-free goods, rail tickets, babies from East European orphanages. I made the last bit up but you get the message. Overall, it’s hugely improved. And, generally, it’s been punctual, efficient and does what it says on the tin. Trouble is, the travelling public would love flying to be like it’s depicted in the old Hollywood movies.

Beautiful, dolly bird hostesses and handsome, square-jawed pi-

lots who never flapped in an emergency. If it was still like that, only oligarchs would be able to fly. O’Leary put it in a nutshell: nowadays a plane is just a bus with wings and the passengers referred to as SLF (self loading freight). You can expect to get the same treatment as on the number 53 bus.

Bon voyage and happy landing!

THURSDAY THOUGHTS

By Graham Braben, Almeria

Money well spent BOY did we make a mistake! We went on the M1 a few weeks ago. Little did we know that we had chosen National Traffic Standing Still Day for our journey! Well being stuck on the M1 made me think of the Voyager Space Probes.

You may recall that the Voyagers were launched in 1977 with a big fanfare as they were designed to go deep into space and make contact with alien life. To help with this they had on board golden records with contemporary sounds of the Earth. There are two things here I don’t think NASA thought about.

First of all, where are those poor aliens going to get hold of a turntable at such short notice so they can play the records? Then the other, major oversight! If they contain contemporary sounds don’t they think that once whoever finds these probes gets to the track with Boney M singing Ma Baker that

they’ll decide that Earth’s intelligent life is not quite worth the trouble of popping over to meet us?

But this is going off the point. The reason these probes came to mind when we were on the M1 is that mission control at NASA say that after 40 years their journey is only just beginning! And that’s exactly the length of time we felt as if we were on that motorway without any sense of movement.

Apart from reminding me of Voyager, that traffic jam did give me an idea for a tip top business. Surely, if you go into business designing more red cones then you’ll make a fortune! But there were road works, cones, speed limits but not a sign of anyone working!

Where do they all go? Perhaps on its journey into deep space Voyager will uncover the planet where all road workers go to, now that would be money well spent by NASA.

Can you believe it’s run off Windows 7??

Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man

Five minutes of silence and thought.

Take the time to clear your mind Marbella Moments

by Nicole King I DO solemnly swear to myself that as of this article going to print I will start putting into practice all those things I know are good for me but never seem to make time to do.

One of them is to meditate; it couldn’t be clearer from all those who are successful and at peace with themselves in life tell us they practice the art of meditation and yoga, to optimise both body and mind.

I was even fortunate enough to interview the renowned swami last week during his brief visit to Marbella and I got his message. It was an easy one to follow, be natural, be nature, be still and quiet to hear yourself think, to follow our instincts.

I have to laugh because although I promised myself after interviewing him that I would start to meditate, I didn’t.

But at the beginning of this week I made myself a promise, that by this Thursday September, 28 when this column goes to print, if not earlier, meditation would be on my daily plan.

All I can say is I really wish I had started on Monday as intended perhaps the last few days wouldn’t have been as they have for me; which are not good.

Monday evening I felt peckish; although I had eaten a very late lunch. I

saw a packet of ‘special concoction rice’ in th e fr idge , w hic h I imme dia te ly recognised as having been in and out of the fridge during the summer and had probably been there longer than healthy.

I avidly searched the packet for the expiration date but on not finding it, made it anyway.

I did eat a few bites of the rice but found the taste strange and thought no more of it. However within a few hours, when I awoke and only just made it to th e b athroom, I re a lis e d tha t I ha d known all along that something was up.

I was getting all the correct warning signs before, during and after this impromptu midnight feast, I had just decided to ignore it.

And as a result of that I couldn’t even record my TV show on Tuesday as when I wasn’t visiting ‘Mr Roca’ I was sleeping off the pain of food poisoning. Basically the same story for Wednesday.

So, back to the plan. I do solemnly swear that as of Thursday, the day this column goes into print, I will somehow find the time, rather remember to give the time, just three to five minutes at the start of the day to be silent and let my thoughts flow. I solemnly swear to myself also to do likewise in the evenings, and to do so for at least a period of two months.

Apparently if you do this practice for at least this time you really begin to reap the benefits and if that helps pay attention to our instincts, my tummy for one will be most grateful! @marbellanow www.marbellanowtv.com

I WENT off on my travels last week. First stop was London with Monarch that does flights not leaving at silly o’ clock in the morning. I have to say that I was very impressed with their in-flight food menu.

They even did a mini English breakfast so I settled back in my seat and waited for the crew member to ask what my choice of culinary delight would be. The trolley pulled up and she looked at me and asked would I like anything from the trolley.

I said, ‘yes please, I’d like the English breakfast.’ ‘Sorry, we don’t have any left.’

‘Hmmm OK, I’ll have the bacon baguette please.’ ‘Sorry, actually we don’t have any food left.’ Now for those of you thinking ‘full flight - these things happen - you are right it does. But I was in row seven and they had sold out. ROW SEVEN! It doesn’t make sense does it? They present you with this menu of goodies then nada.

They should at least make some announcement and inform you. I’ll tell you what they didn’t run out off though - their bloody scratch cards! They were on the PA system quick enough, flogging them, telling us that we could win lots of money from what they collect and a ‘percentage’ goes to charity.

They didn’t say how big the percentage was and old, cynical me thinks that it’s not very much. If it was 100 per cent I might be more tempted and if the first prize was a bacon sarnie I would definitely have had a punt!

My next leg was to the USA. I get there and everything is going nice and smoothly until I reach security. I’m in my wheelchair with someone helping me to get through.

We get up to the bit where they look at your boarding pass and make you look into a camera. It’s the bit you get to before you have to take your belt off and shoes and have to walk through (not me of course) holding your trousers up and hoping you don’t step on anything that is going to injure you. Anyway it’s not working and I watch the security guy reset the computer.

Ready for this? The security system runs off Windows 7! Yup Gatwick Airport runs off Windows 7!! It’s an absolute farce.

Something new which you started in recent weeks becomes more than a passing interest. Although it may be surprising to you, it is owing to a predictable situation. In opening your mind, you also seem to have opened your heart. Many people do that at this time of the year and so you are not alone. Trusting is sometimes difficult but it must happen sometime.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being totally inspired this week, you could be tempted to let enthusiasm run away with you. It is a lovely feeling, like being a child again. Be sure to have fun, but do keep as much money in your pocket as possible. With many demands at the moment, restrict your exuberance on finances.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There will be a certain amount of discussion regarding holiday plans. You know what you want but how do you persuade others? It's quite easy really.

All you have to do is to get someone else to suggest a certain place.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) You are so sharp that there is a danger you will cut yourself!

Seriously, though, try not to appear pompous over a certain matter. You may be right and you may be clever, but smarty pants are rarely popular.

Some of that sharpness gets things going for you in the love department.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With everyone busy round you, the chance may be taken to show what you are capable of. Instead of watching someone make a pig's ear of a work project, offer to help. It's important to let them think any bright ideas were theirs.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) A business partnership takes on a romantic tinge this week.

It is possible that the other party sees this as more significant than you.

To avoid problems later it would be best to let them do all the running.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Your outgoing attitude is spot on. Some may say you are a little crazy, the way you go for things.

Each person has their own way and yours can be quite unique but that certainly does not make it wrong. People who make the world around us that little bit more colourful are gems.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Some legal matters need your attention. That's not really what you want at this time of the year. A decision has to be made and it needs a fine balance. Asking others may just confuse matters, so only seek expert advice. At the end of the day, you will know what is both best and acceptable.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A last-minute invitation turns out to be just the ticket in more ways than one. An invitation to join a holiday may be proffered. This is unusual, certainly, but keep an open mind. Your company is clearly well appreciated so why not make that a point of pride?

Let's face it, who is best equipped to blow your trumpet?

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Someone you mistrust offers to add to your celebrations.

Why not call a truce? We both know that little long term will come out of it, but who cares?

Sometimes, it is better to share one good moment with someone than none at all.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) As you are very much in the limelight, it comes as no great surprise that admiration comes your way.

What may surprise you, however, is the direction it comes from. Who would have thought that such a situation would arise? Strange things happen sometimes.

BIRTHDAYS

HOT on the heels of the latest film release, IT, has soared back up the book charts as it did when the last instalment of the killer-clown hit the big screen in 1990.

In the storm drains and sewers lurks a terrifying presence, IT, a most foul creature which assumes the form of one’s deepest fears and dreads.

A group of children know what hides in the sewers, the eerie being who sometimes reaches up out of its hideaway, seizing, tearing and killing.

The children grow up and leave the town of Derry, Maine where the nightmarish entity resided.

Time passes and they get on with their lives, but they never forget what they saw.

They are drawn back, called back to the town where it all began once more as IT slithers and stirs amidst the depths of their memories and the nightmares they endured in the past become a reality once more in the present.

Prime Minister’s Italian Job a farce SIR, THE question is why did the PM bother to go to Florence to make this speech before a handpicked audience of mostly British journalists?

She gave the impression that it was the EU leaving Britain rather than the other way round and it is the EU which will have to make concessions. A typical arrogant British trait.

She seemed to forget that Britain needs the EU (40 per cent of British trade) more than EU member states need Britain!

We are none the wiser on the specific details as there was nothing in the speech which was not already common knowledge.

She said that EU citizens would always be welcome in the UK but they would have to ‘register,’ again no specific details, nor the implications for British citizens in the EU which will be determined by the EU, not Britain.

She wants neither a Norway model

Summing up on the security issue, the Irish border arrangements are an invitation for criminals, illegal migrants and potential terrorists to fly Ryanair to Dublin, hire a car to Belfast and then take a flight to any English airport.

She described so many advantages of maintaining a perfect partnership and relationship with the EU that the obvious solution seems to be to remain part of it.

British PM explains Brexit expectations THERESA MAY confirmed in her Florence speech that she hopes to obtain a two year extension.

Citizens’ ‘rights/privileges’ and of course OBLIGATIONS are precisely those, attributable to Citizens NOT non-citizens. If you wish to enjoy them, apply for citizenship and swear loyalty to Queen and country. Otherwise apply for ‘indefinite leave to remain.’

If majority of our trade presently operates on WTO tariffs what’s the UK’s practical ‘difficulty’ with EU trade being handled the same way? Any potential ‘disincentive’ from application of 2 per cent WTO on exports to EU has surely been offset by depreciation/regularisation of £ exchange rate? As the UK operates a substantial trade deficit with EU surely application WTO tariffs will have a net beneficial effect on HM Treasury receipts?

‘No speech is better than a bad speech.’ Surely the two years from triggering Article 50 IS the transition period’?

By Kat Ashton HIKING outdoors is good for the body and mind, and gives you the chance to explore the world while you’re at it.

While jogging remains a popular form of exercise among fitness enthusiasts, many don’t realise that walking in the outdoors may actually be better for you. This powerful cardio workout puts less pressure on the bones, joints, and heart and is a proven mood booster - especially if you trek around somewhere particularly scenic.

Going on regular hikes could lower your risk of heart disease as it reduces blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It helps to build strength in your quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, as well as muscles in the hips and lower legs.

Rambling over a rocky terrain also, unsurprisingly, improves balance by strengthening the core - which will come in handy if you find yourself stumbling down a particularly steep slope.

Hiking is as good for the mind as it is the body, as research has proven that it is effective at combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety. The president of the American Hiking Society claims this is because nature is ingrained in our DNA, and hiking helps us to escape from the noise and chaos of towns and cities.

The main risks of not flossing include an increased risk of developing cavities and gum disease, as dental plaque can lead to the

growth of harmful bacteria that destroys the enamel between teeth and irritates the gum tissue.

There is also evidence that taking good care of your teeth and gums does much more than give you a flashy smile. A healthy mouth can also help to prevent some serious illnesses which can be life threatening, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Quironsalud Malaga pioneers new prosthetic procedure THE new technique, which designs and makes a personalised tool to implant a prosthesis using a 3D printer, both reduces surgery time and increases the time the implant lasts for.

On Monday (September 25) the Quironsalud Orthopaedic and Traumatology Hospital in Malaga made, for the first time in Spain, a bespoke surgical tool to aid prosthetic shoulder replacement surgery.

The material is a “guide made via a 3D printer and a TAC personalised study of each person’s anatomy,” explains traumatology specialist Doctor Stephan Meschian.

The head of the Orthopaedic and Traumatology Surgery, Doctor Rafael Lopez Arevalo, said that previously standardised guides for all were made outside of Spain and imported whereas the new tool is “easy to use” and “shortens surgical time.”

The procedure works by placing the mould, “ w hic h is a c c ura te by more than 99.5 per cent,” into the area and aids the surgeon to implant the prosthesis optimally and avoiding complications from an individual’s anatomy.

As the end result is more precise, the implant will also last longer, benefiting the patient immensely.

For more informa tion s e e www.quironsalud.es.

What are the symptoms of a wasp sting?

When you are stung by a wasp on your skin, the area infected will become inflamed and red with a noticeable centre where the sting occurred. In general the reaction is contained to where you are stung, however some people can have reactions all over their body.

Can they be dangerous?

Wasp stings tend to hurt, but are not often dangerous. In some cases, especially with people who are allergic to them, the reaction can be much more severe and can cause death.

How can you tell if you are having an allergic reaction to a sting?

Normally when a person is stung by a wasp the

reaction is contained to the area they were stung.

However if a person feels generally unwell, begins to sweat, has other skin lesions appear on their body, swollen lips or face, difficulties breathing or loss of consciousness and chest pains, among other things, then it is certainly an allergic reaction.

What should I do if I get stung?

Normally if it only causes a reaction on the skin you don’t need to see a doctor. However if the area stung becomes infected or you notice an allergic reaction then immediately go to accident and emergencies where you will be prescribed with treatments which can include anti-inflammatories, corticoids or maybe even antibiotics.

Crispy Cod unveils new terrace THE longest established fish and chip shop on the Costa del Sol, Crispy Cod has unveiled a brand new terrace to allow diners to enjoy the stunning sea views all year round.

Owner Sean and his family have been serving delicious traditional English fish and chips on the Fuengirola seafront since 2008, but felt that to maximise their amazing location and give a wonderful place for diners to enjoy their delicious food, they needed to improve their terrace.

In time for the coming winter season, they have created an enclosed glass terrace which can be open on warm days, but closed if it is windy or cold. This gives guests the chance to be able to enjoy the fabulous views, light and warmth, while being protected from the elements.

They have also invested in new terrace furniture to allow diners to be able to enjoy their meal in maximum comfort and style.

This is the latest addition to Crispy Cod which is already widely recognised as the number one destination on the Costa Del Sol for true British style Fish and Chips and will improve the guest experience even further.

“This is much more than a takeaway,”

finest quality chipping potatoes are sourced locally, the batter is made from scratch to Sean’s secret recipe and the mushy peas and tartar sauce are both home-made, again to a closely guarded secret recipe. They offer a Daily Special of fish, chips and mushy peas served with bread and butter and tartar sauce for only €7.95 from 12.30 to 5.30 every day.

Crispy Cod is located on Paseo Maritimo Rey De España Fuengirola, by the Hotel Las Piramides and is open from 12.30-10.30 seven days a week over the winter. Call 952 587 351 to reserve a table on the terrace, or visit www.crispycod.com for more information.

GLASS TERRACE: So guests can still enjoy the fabulous views. explains owner Sean Mitchell. “We are a family-run restaurant serving delicious food for all the family and so the dining area is vital to make our diners feel really comfortable and enjoy their meal no matter the weather. We are really pleased with the results and hope our clients will love the

new terrace too.”

Crispy Cod uses only the best quality ingredients, with sustainable, line-caught fish prepared in the traditional way and filleted on the premises,

For those with an interest in food and drink, stands will open at noon where visitors

will be able to savour typical Italian cuisine and buy products to take away.

Prosecco, Aperol Spritz, Chianti and Lambrusco wines are just some of the drinks that will be served with pizza, risotto, lasagne, tomato with mozzarella or filled focaccia.

Also attending will be a wide number of Italian businesses on the Costa del Sol and cultural associations. A separate stall will offer a wide range of cheeses whilst children can participate in a pizza workshop.

There will be free performances through the day from 1pm to 6pm and the programme starts with a homage to Italy organised in collaboration with Manuela Varonese from the Pop Academia Fama featuring different Italian artists and musicians from the Costa del Sol, including the

Italian trio Senza Cateta.

There also will be a fusion of Spanish and Italian folklore dances that will be presented by the flamenco group of Victor Rojas and Fama.

FOR the fourth consecutive year, Marbella will see large numbers of walkers wearing fluorescent items raising money for CADI. This association, the Centre for Attention to Children’s Diversity Marbella exists to support children with special needs and their parents and all who walk around Marbella marina from 7pm on Saturday October 7 will be raising funds for that important local cause.

Last year more than 1,000 ‘neoners’ turned up and it is hoped that even more will join in this year as there are special events including sports and dance before the walk commences.

One special participation will be the dog section from the Local Police which is celebrating its 150th anniversary and in addition to the canine patrol they will also invite children to view their cars and motorbikes.

As a new addition, there will be a bar so that those taking part (and spectators) may enjoy a drink and a bite to eat before or after the walk.

If you want to join in, enrolment is €10 at https://en tradium.com/entradas/neon -night-marbella-2017.

Marbella Bike event FLASHBACK: Scene from the 2016 Romeria.

Annual Romeria takes place in Fuengirola THIS year’s Romeria (a pilgrimage and procession) of the Fuengirola Virgin of the Rosary will take place on Sunday at the El Esparragal Park in Mijas.

A mass will take place at 9.30am in the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary which will be accompanied by the massed voices of the Choir of the Brotherhood of the Rocio

of Fuengirola.

Following the mass a procession consisting of horses, oxen, carts and decorated vehicles will head to the park but all who wish to join in need to be at Calle Cervantes by 9.30am.

The Romeria has taken place in Mijas since 2011 but this year the Fuengirola Council took advice on three possible

venues, the Castle, the Fuengirola natural park or El Esparragal and the majority of those consulted considered El Esparragal more suitable especially with the number of animals expected.

The statue of the Virgin is expected to arrive in Mijas at 2pm and all are welcome to attend but no bbqs allowed.

THE Hayabusa Club Marbella is hosting their biennial Suzuki weekend next Friday, Saturday and Sunday sponsored by Suzuki España.

This will be three days of 80 high powered Suzuki Hayabusa motorbikes from 10 countries undertaking tours of the area and swapping stories about the fastest bike in the world.

Pleasure without measure?

I have an obsession with quality. I work for my guests - not to obtain Michelin Stars.

A TOAST TO GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS W I T H G A R RY WA I T E HAVE always been a great lover of ‘free pouring’ - the absence of using fixed measures of alcohol.

Even though it was technically against the law, it was well practised in my restaurants in the UK. It must have been the Spanish influence even all those years ago.

But even with this method it was possible to pour exactly the same measure into each glass. Apart from alcohol, pubs and restaurants started to use legally (or voluntarily) measure marks on the wine glasses.

But most bars and restaurants here free pour without such guidelines, which leads to differences that are quite noticeable.

Last week I had occasion to be in three different establishments of varying standard. One was a place I pop into quite often. A family run eatery of few tables and fewer

Too much.

Too little.

customers, but a warm welcome and a decent glass of Rosé, well chilled but the measure is half as much again as I would pour. They must be getting four glasses out of the bottle at the most: and at €3.95 a glass they are selling the bottle of wine for €15. Makes sense even if it looks generous.

The second place was a restaurant that is very busy and whose prices are quite high. A glass of red wine from Ribera del Duero (the price I do not know as I was being invited - but I imagine around the €5 mark) came in a modern glass with a wider base and a curved side, the sort of glass used by most upmarket establish-

ments.

I tell my staff to fill the glass to just above the curve, which gives five good glasses from the bottle.

But on this occasion the measure was below the curve which would give the house six glasses to the bottle. Making a bottle of house wine worth around €30 a bottle, which I am sure we would all say is too much.

However I did ask them to fill it to above the curve which they did without question.

The third place was a very modern tapas/raciones/and restaurant operation in Marbella. Very professionally run. We had a bottle of wine which was their house

wine at €21 from Castillo de Mancha, which wasn’t particularly good. The red wine by the glass was pleasant enough and at €3.50 a glass was good value. The measures poured were also correct.

Now dear reader, you may have got down to the bottom of this article and ask if there is a point to it? Well, my point is that whatever price you charge, or quantity you give, the chances are it is normally more expensive to drink wine by the glass than the bottle.

This last place was charging less for drinking by the glass than the bottle. White by the glass at €3 means €15 a bottle, red at €3.50 means €17 for the bottle.

With the former being €21 a bottle and the latter €25 it’s obvious which makes more sense to the consumer.

FORGIVE me if I have told you before but, because once again the subject of Michelin stars is back in the news, as we hear that the renowned three-Michelinstarred French chef Sébastien Bras has asked Michelin not to include him in the 2018 edition of its gastronomic guide to the country citing the “great pressure” involved in maintaining Michelin’s top honour, I am reminded of my old friend Chris Oakes who opened a restaurant in Stroud and gained a star in his first year and then a second in his second. The cost of maintaining such an accolade and the subsequent strain of doing so, made him sell up.

Sébastien, who is the son of Michel Bras and runs Le Suquet in Laguiole near Rodez, took over the restaurant that his father founded 10 years ago. The restaurant, opened in 1992, won its third star in 1999 and has held them ever since.

Although unusual this action is not unheard of as the pressure on health and family life has made several chef/proprietors make the same decision over the years.

(A.A. Milne)

I DON’T know about our readers, but I am sure there are many of you that have beautiful gardens and perhaps grow your own vegetables. Some of you could have window boxes or, if like me, a couple of terraces with jardineras.

My grandfather loved his garden and grew vegetables, wonderful flowers and everything was in order. His greenhouse flourished.

He passed away before I bought my first restaurant where I had a greenhouse as well as a vegetable garden. No matter what I did I couldn’t get the rotation right and despite regular maintenance I was never going to be competition for Covent Garden. So needless to say it was never going to be my forte.

After years of replanting my plant troughs here in Spain on a regular basis, at considerable cost, I decided to lay weed protective material with stone covering and fill with cacti.

Seemed sensible to me, after all, Aloe Vera and cacti thrive in desert conditions, so they were bound to thrive on my terraces.

Enjoy the autumn with new outdoor furniture for your garden SUMMER may be coming to an end, but in a still-sunny climate like ours here in the southern part of Europe that doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to staying inside. With the fresher air and th e l e a v e s c h a n g in g colour on the trees, autumn is one of the most beautiful times of the year, and it’s

the perfect time to host an outdoor gathering.

E n h a n ce y o u r au tu mn get-togethers this year by adding some new outdoor furniture to your terrace and garden. When it comes to choosing materials for outdoor furniture, you have plenty of options, and each type of material comes with

its own advantages and disadvantages.

Most outdoor furniture is specifically des igne d to hold up well outside, but ma te ria ls like poly-wood a re e s pe c ia lly dura ble a nd re quire little to no maintenance.

This material resembles wood and has a warm, inviting appeal that many customers prefer. It withstands even harsher weather and doesn’t fade or rot.

Casa Bruno is specialised in poly-wood furniture and

offers cosy rocking chairs, porch swings, dining and ba r s e ts a nd the fa mous American Adirondack chair which makes a perfect setting for relaxing in the sun

or around a fireplace.

All furniture can be shipped to the mainland of Spain and to the rest of Europe. Check their website and onl i ne shop at www.casabruno.com or visit

Bee happy

PERMACULTURE EDUCATION SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Telephone: 666 33 33 35 info@permamed.org http://permamed.org/

THE bee population has been under threat in recent years thanks to a puzzling illness called Colony Collapse Disorder, which has not been helped by the overuse of pesticides.

Bees fulfil a vital role in the planet’s ecosystem as they are the prime pollinators of plants and crops.

While starting your own hive may seem like a lot of work, you can still help these fuzzy insects out just by making a few simple tweaks in your garden to make it more bee-friendly. Planting your garden with lots of nectar-rich plants will encourage them to visit and give them lots of flowers to choose from. Some of the best plants include lavender, verbena, scented geraniums and most herbs.

Make sure the plants are out of the shade, as bees prefer to be in the sun, but also protected from the wind as they don’t like to be blown around when trying to get to work.

Finally, try to limit the use of sprays or pesticides or use a bee-friendly version.

MANY people think they are being kind giving their dog freedom to bounce around the car, but actually, dogs will feel much safer secured in a travel kennel, wearing a harness, on the floor of the car, or behind a dog guard.

The National Canine Defence League urge dog owners to give their dog the same attention they would give a small child when they travel, and always make sure that the dog is restrained in the rear of the car.

Dogs must get used to travelling in vehicles, so it is best to get them

DANGER: Make pet travel safe.

used to travel safely as soon as possible when they are young. I would not encourage holding puppies on the lap, this way you are training the puppy that this is the place to travel. As a dog gets bigger he is put in the back of the car and will

not like the idea which results in barking and jumping. This then results in owners shouting and turning around, thus being inattentive to their driving.

Many owners think that it is a good idea to let dogs have their

heads hanging out of the window of the car whilst travelling. This is dangerous for the dog and can cause many health problems to the eyes and to the nose. Never let your dog hang his head out of the window. Many a dog has jumped out of a travelling car through the win-

dow, resulting in death.

In many parts of Europe, it is an offence to allow dogs to be loose or unsecured in cars and can be very costly in fines.

A dog should never be left in a car during hot weather for longer than a few minutes. Owners should park in shaded areas, keeping in mind that the sun moves. Even if the windows are left open the temperature can reach 35 degrees in a few minutes. Dogs can suffer from heatstroke within 10 minutes or less.

From a training point of view, it is a good idea to make dogs sit before allowing them into the car.

When openi ng a car door dogs should be trained to stay, so that there is no chance of them jumping out onto a road and causing an accident or indeed killing themselves.

There are many products on the market to ensure your pet’s safety and to ensure the safety of the car!

Alfredo is sensitive Pets get back to school blues YOU may know a dog that is particularly fond of company, your own pets may be just as affectionate with visitors as with your own family. We hear about devoted, affectionate pets all the time on David the Dogman’s radio show on TRE each Saturday morning.

Alfredo is just one of these friendly sensitive types according to his owners. Whenever they plan to go away they worry about how he will fare in their absence. Previous experience shows them that a kennel doesn’t suit Alfredo, he loses weight, and loses his voice. It’s too disconcerting. He needs to stay in his own environment.

ALFREDO the Lhasa Apso.

So they are now going to prepare ahead of their next holiday by finding housesitters to come to their home to care for him. They’ll maintain his routine, check on his well-being and generally take care of him. He simply doesn’t seem to like change or the

absence of people from the house.

We ask pet owners to write a special brief, noting special likes, dislikes and characteristics. It helps the housesitters care for their charges with greater attention to detail.

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

IT is not just children who feel down when summer is over and they have to go back to school, new research has shown that family pets also get a bit blue during this period.

A study by Pets at Home revealed that four in 10 children admitted to having more fun with their pet over summer than their siblings or friends, and a third are unhappy when spending time away from them.

Pet experts claim that cats and dogs are more likely to experience separation anxiety when children return to the classrooms as they will often go from being around family members 24/7 to being left on their own for m o s t o f t h e d a y. T h i s i s especially difficult on young animals or new pets as they haven’t developed the coping strategies to deal with these changes yet.

There are a few things

you can do to help pets along with the transition: • Make sure they have lots of toys to play with • Keep all arrivals and departures low-key • Leave behind an item

of clothing in their bed as having your scent around will help them to relax • Leave the TV or the radio on so the sound of voices will stop them from feeling alone.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government.

We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA.

For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 in fo@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you.

We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day

to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

FOR BEST RATES IN MOTOR INSURANCE CALL: 952 89 33 80 THE Indigo 3000R Signature Series has debuted in Sweden and is available in Spain.

Production has now started on 10 numbered examples, as has final testing and certification. The SPV Group is representing Indigo 3000R on the Iberian Peninsula.

Deliveries to identified buyers are expected to take place in 2017/18. There has been considerable market interest in and demand for the Indigo 3000R. In conjunction with the car’s Revival and launch in June, it was revealed that preparations are underway for a follow-up small-scale series production with additional exciting versions. These will be based on the same basic model and be priced from around €130,000.

SPV Racing based in Alhaurin el Grande, Malaga is contributing to the production and certification of the Indigo 3000R in a number of ways.

SPV Racing mechanics assisted in the production in Sweden, while testing of the current and future models will be done in the Costa del Sol region.

Purple reign!

New Indigo 3000 R hits road

SPV RACING: Assisted production.

INDIGO 3000R: Available in Spain.

The founders’ vision presented to the market three years ago was a limited edition sports car. It was to be based on existing technology from the Indigo 3000 and priced at less than €100,000.

But it soon became clear it was neither relevant nor legally possible to bring a car to the market based on simple updates to 20-year-old functionality and quality standards.

Consequently, the project’s ambitions had to be raised for both technical reasons and practical market expectations.

The result is a modern sports car with classic style elements. The new Indigo 3000R delivers modern performance, functionality, and quality to meet the certification requirements and market expectations for a modern car.

The three-litre six-cylinder engine is based on proven Swedish technology, but has never been mounted lengthways before. A proprietary turbocharger design and oil system have resulted in more power while also enabling the Indigo 3000R to withstand the high G-forces present in a modern sports car when accelerating, braking, and cornering.

Red lorry, electric lorry

FUTURISTIC: Electric dreams become reality.

AN electric lorry is the latest creation from Tesla wizard Elon Musk. The self-driving lorry could be on American roads from as early as next month.

Musk, the billionaire behind much of the autonomous dri-

ving revolution, described the ‘Tesla Semi Truck’ as a ‘beast.’ If the vehicle takes off, which it is expected to, then it will revolutionise the commercial trucking industry. The Tesla Semi Truck will be powered by electric battery and ultimately, will require no driver.

It can travel more than 1,000km on a single charge, although a heavy load could be reduced to just 400k but may be used for urban transport, not substantial inter-state journeys at first. Tesla blueprints for future commercial travel envisage a fleet of electric, autonomous trucks, following one lead vehicle, driven by a human.

Son of the Defender A BRITISH billionaire is plotting to resurrect the iconic Land Rover Defender. Jim Ratcliffe, CEO of chemical company Ineos, will invest a whopping €700 million in the ambitious project.

The last Defender was produced in 2016. But Ratcliffe wants to bring back the 68-yearold original. It will be a direct replica of the original design, with modern performance and safety tweaks.

Oddly, the design isn’t trademarked in the UK, though it is in other countries. Ratcliffe wants to produce 25,000 Defenders a year from 2020. He is currently seeking permission to build in the UK, though German factories are also being considered.

Ratcliffe’s Defenders will cost around €40,000 new. They may

face competition from Jaguar Land Rover itself. The manufacturer is reportedly toying with the idea of a sleek, modern Defender due sometime before 2020.

Meanwhile the Defender’s cousin, the Discovery, has been making a name for itself Down Under. In a filmed feat of strength, a Discovery fitted with a giant 3.0 litre turbo diesel engine with 254bhp managed to tow a train weighing 121 tons and measuring 328 feet.

The Discovery Td6 is advertised as boasting a towing capacity of 3,500kg. But it showed that, under the right conditions, it could yank a train weighing 10 times that for more than 10 kilometres.

Real Club de Golf Sotogrande CostaLessGolf Weekly News with

Ron Garrood THE course Real Club de Golf Sotogrande is considered as one of the masterpieces of Robert Trent Jones who chose this course as one of his five favourites.

Officially opened in 1964 Sotogrande was the first course Trent Jones designed in Europe and is blessed with his design philosophy, which consists of building courses perfectly integrated with the natural surroundings which are a great challenge to the better players, but accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

The course has a par of 72 and measures 6,492 metres. It offers long tees, wide fairways and elevated greens delicately moulded and very fast, which embody the biggest difficulty of the course. Of the 100 or so bunkers on the course 69 are placed around the greens, which warn the player to have great accuracy when attacking the pins. The variety of holes is another characteristic of Real Club de Golf Sotogrande not only in its shape and distances but in its vegetation: the mixture of cork oaks, pine trees, palm trees and an abundance of

Summer Champions Bowling Competition READY: Mapfre team confident of victory with Blair Tuke on board.

WINNERS: Mixed Pairs, Mixed Fours and Triples teams.

A THRILLING tournament took place as Benavista Bowls Club hosted the Summer Champions Bowling Competition 2017.

The event began with the Pairs Competition and the final was played between Mike and Judy Old, from Benavista, and Gordon and Margaret Cain from Santa Maria.

A very competitive match saw Mike and Judy emerge victorious with a score of 1714.

The Mixed Fours competition came next which featured several hard-fought battles throughout the preliminary rounds.

Gordon and Margaret Cain made it to another final and were joined by Garry and Jenny Aldridge from Santa Maria as they competed against Lauro Bowls Club members, Tom Rogers, Paul Hughes, June Baldry and Phil Baldry.

Lauro put up a valiant effort but the Santa Maria team led all the way and won with a score of 20-15.

The Triples competition provided more excellent examples of bowling and the final saw Dennis Tolfree, Bill Davy and Malcolm Greenwood from Benavista pitted against Julian Thomas, Paul Hughes and Ron Jones from Lauro.

A tense battle ensued where there was never more than three points between the two teams.

Lauro were two up with two bowls left to play but a spectacular conclusion saw Greenwood play a magnificent shot to take his team one up and win the match 16-15.

The final competition of the Championship had a stark contrast in scores but the figures do not illustrate the excitement of the Ladies’ and Men’s Singles.

Margaret Cain was victorious against Pat Baker from Don Pablo, winning 21-7.

The Men’s match saw Tom Rogers beat Garry Aldridge 21-19 in a duel that went right down to the wire.

in the 2014-15 race. Starring alongside Fernandez is Blair Tuke, another Olympic medallist and America’s Cup winner from New Zealand.

Tuke is hoping to become the first man to win the ‘Triple Crown’ of the sailing world, with Olympic, Americas and Volvo victories.

In charge of navigation will be veteran sailor Joan Vila who, at 55, is returning from a 15-year hiatus from the sport.

Other crew members include Tamara Echegoyen, Louis Sinclair, Rob Greenhal-

gh, and Sophie Ciszek.

Expectations are high for Mapfre after the team set a new world record in the qualifying stages. But the real grind begins on October 22 when they set sail for Lisbon before racing down the west African coast and then onto Australia.

They will spend around nine months at sea before finishing in Holland next June.

Team manager Pedro Campos has said that solidarity and spirit will be crucial to their success.
