Face value ‘Racist’ teens traced on social media EXCLUSIVE

What summer?

by Matt Ford TWO teenagers have been held after a Chinese Erasmus student was subjected to a 20-minute racism ordeal on a Costa del Sol train.

It comes after Dantong Zhang who calls herself Iris in English, was verbally and physically abused by a ‘group of boys’ as she travelled from Fuengirola to Malaga City, where she was studying Spanish.

Iris posted a photo of the boy on her Facebook account, and her campaign went viral after it was shared more than 1,600 times, leading her to identify the culprits through their Instagram accounts.

She then filed a police report, sparking a probe and leading to their arrests.

The unnamed pair, aged 15 and 19, have been released on bail and remanded in an Algeciras juvenile detention centre, respectively, after being quizzed by detectives.

SUMMER is officially underway on the Costa del Sol. But while the mercury is set to rise to 26°C today (Thursday) in some parts of Malaga Province as the hot, dry wind known locally as the terral sweeps in, the rest of the week is set to be cooler.

It comes after Valencia last week suffered its worst storms for 16 years.

Convicted drug dealer Sam Walker, 35, who has racked up more than 100 crimes, is wanted after skipping a court appearance for driving without a licence.

His rap list includes jail terms for offences ranging from possession of counterfeit cash to threatening police officers, while he once hit the headlines over alleged threats to Chelsea footballer Ross Barkley.

He was previously a member of a mob selling heroin and crack cocaine in his native Liverpool.

He also claims to have spent thousands on installing fresh water pipes in the city’s slums after seeing “men, women and children dying.”

He added: “I have not just woke up and changed overnight. I am still the same person and still do what I do.

“I know when I come back to the UK I will be arrested at the airport and put straight in jail.

“I can deal with that knowing that I have fulfilled my promise to the people in the slums by giving them a container full of toys, clothes and food and given them fresh, clean water so no man, woman or child ever has to risk their lives by drinking dirty sewage water again.”

From Russia with rubles

THE BIG PICTURE Nº 17

A 47-YEAR-OLD Russian expatriate living in Fuengirola has been held on an international arrest warrant for allegedly stealing more than €200,000 from his home country’s social security department. He was arrested while driving through the town centre and has been remanded in custody ahead of extradition.

Clucking hell BENALMADENA Council is taking caution amid warnings of ‘a plague of chickens’ in the town’s Las Palomas park. A town hall statement revealed that the birds are being ringed to keep track of them, with some shipped out to childrens’ farms.

They are also available for adoption to ‘anyone who needs one.’

OUSTED: Former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in Spanish parliament.

In the bag A GERMAN passenger has been held at Malaga Airport on suspicion of money laundering after €705,000 in bank notes was found in his luggage. The unnamed man was about to board a flight to Turkey and was unable to confirm where he got the cash, investigators said in a statement.

Uber and out TAXI app firm Uber’s Costa del Sol service is up and running with a fleet of 200 vehicles available over a 60-kilometre area including Malaga City, Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Mijas and Marbella.

Launched on Tuesday, the company has already confirmed its intention to expand due to early high demand.

€42m shock MIJAS homeowners must find €42 million to complete infrastructure projects on 200 housing estates across the municipality, according to town hall sources. It comes as the council confirmed that occupancy licences were ‘for years’ handed out before the plots were legally ready to be lived in.

Snot a joke A 46-YEAR-OLD Senagalese ‘looky looky’ man has been held in Fuengirola for allegedly tearing off a chunk of a fellow street vendor’s nose. The pair reportedly became embroiled in a violent squabble on the sea front during which the suspect sank his teeth into the victim’s face.

Adios, PM! SOCIALIST leader Pedro Sanchez is Spain’s new Prime Minister after Mariano Rajoy was kicked out of office.

It comes in the wake of a landmark no-confidence vote after Rajoy’s conservative People’s Party was found guilty of accepting kickbacks in exchange for lucrative public contracts.

Madrid’s highest criminal court convicted 29 officials over their involvement in the scandal, with former treasurer Luis Barcenas jailed for 33 years and fined €44 million.

And the fallout - which saw the credibility of Rajoy’s own testimony in the enquiry disputed - proved one scandal too far for the leader once dubbed the great survivor of Spanish politics.

He had been in office since 2011 and weathered a string of corruption probes, but was unable to withstand political anger after opposition parties united to seal his fate.

After the vote, Rajoy, 63, approached 46-year-old Sanchez in the parliamentary chamber and shook the incoming leader’s hand.

“It has been an honour to be the prime minister of Spain,” he earlier told MPs. “It has been an honour to leave a better Spain than the one I found. I hope that my successor will be able to say the same when his time comes.”

See page 31.

High street rap A BENALMADENA barman has been handed a four-year jail term for selling cocaine on his employer’s terrace.

It comes after police launched a covert surveillance operation to keep tabs on the drug dealer after receiving a tip off from a concerned drinker who spotted him handing over suspicious packets to holidaymakers.

After staking out the premises plain clothes officers swooped to catch the suspect red-handed while he was in the

process of a sale.

The investigators frisked the customer and seized a small ‘wrap’ of white powder later confirmed as cocaine after laboratory tests, with six more bags of the substance found next to the till.

A police statement said that the culprit claimed he was an addict and sold the drugs to fuel his own cravings.

He must pay an €800 fine in addition to serving prison time.

Carved in stone A BRITISH expatriate artist has been commissioned to create a memorial to remember heroes of Spain’s civil war.

At least 45 men from across the world were killed when their ship, the Ciudad de Barcelona, was torpedoed by a submarine off the Catalan coast.

They were among 300 International Brigadistas on their way to join the Republican fight against General Franco’s fascist Nationalist army.

More than 120 of the soldiers were pulled from the sea by fishermen from the nearby town of Malgra de Mar, but many sank with the vessel.

Witnesses said that they sang left-wing anthem The Internationale as they went down, while at least 23 others were later killed in the war.

“It was late afternoon,” Welsh survivor Alun Menai Williams, who wrote the book ‘From the Rhondda to the Ebro,’ told UK media. “I was leaning on the ship’s rail taking in my first view of Spain and its shoreline, some one and a half miles in the distance, when there came one hell of an almighty bang. “The ship shook, tried to get airborne, before settling down at a crazy angle.”

American Jack Freeman added: “It was a pretty

TOP dirty business… some fellows were killed while they were asleep, some were trapped below decks.”

General Franco banned talk of the attack in its aftermath, but Robert Macdonald, originally from Rugby, Warwickshire, has decided to sculpt a monument in their honour.

The Barcelona-based stonemason is carving Solidarity Park from locally-sourced limestone, which when complete will include 60 half-metre tall figures representing the brigadistas set atop an abstract ship and stone map of the world.

Macdonald says the figures symbolise “the unity of the struggle of the Brigadiers, but each will have individual carved features thus expressing the diversity of us all.”

He hopes the project - a collaboration with students, historians, local people and the families and friends of the fallen - will encourage people to consider the treatment of foreigners, immigrants and refugees.

More than €13,500 of the €20,000 estimated cost has already been raised by crowdfunding, with the final work to be displayed in a Malgret de Mar park.

What a cock-up SHE’S among the most beautiful actresses in the world.

But Spanish star Penelope Cruz, 44, set jaws dropping for a different reason after her smutty slip-up on Italian TV went viral on social media.

But Gemma Oaten, 34, appeared carefree as she put on a racy display with her new squeeze, actor Stuart Earp, 30, on a beach in Salou, near Barcelona.

The pair met while starring together in a pantomime version of the Wizard of Oz, and got together while he was allegedly engaged to another woman.

Kerryann Clive, 23, said at the time that she only dumped him after pictures emerged of her boyfriend together with the soap star.

But after fiercely denying the claims, the

Hull-born beauty sizzled after slipping into a colourful bikini as she frolicked in the shallows.

She later donned a coral red coverup dress as the lovebirds wrapped their arms around each other.

Gemma was previously living with film producer Scott Walker but they split after a year together.

Plane ridiculous A BRITISH couple were unable to fly to their Spanish holiday home using a €115 Ryanair voucher because it was in the name of ‘Mum Dad.’ Kathryn and Richard Bolton, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, were told they could not use the voucher, bought for them by son Nick, 34, because the ‘names did not match’ those on their passports.

But when insurance worker Karen, 60, called the budget airline to resolve the problem, she was told that the correct names should be ‘Dear Mum Dad.’ She told UK media: “The whole thing has been a ludicrous farce. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so annoying.”

The voucher was bought as a Christmas present from Nick, wife Amy and their two dogs Brian and Ernie.

He wrote ‘Dear Mum Dad’ in the space for the recipients’ names, and Kathryn and Richard, 59, tried to redeem it in April for a planned trip to their Costa Brava holiday flat near Girona.

The socialist is tasked with forming a government that represents the country he now leads rather than just the party he stands for. And with 84 seats in a 350-strong parliament, the task does not appear enviable.

He cannot possibly hope to satisfy all 180 lawmakers who lent him their support during last week’s no-confidence motion in outgoing rival Mariano Rajoy, since many have openly admitted they sided with him only to see the Popular Party ousted.

“So we rang Ryanair, at 13p per minute, and finally a man said, ‘The name doesn’t match.’ I asked what the ‘correct’ name was, and he said, ‘Dear Mum Dad.’ I said that’s a salutation, not a name.”

The low-cost carrier eventually relented and said they will

reissue the voucher.

Karen added: “To say it’s taken the shine off things is an understatement. They had our voucher information online and would have known straight away we were genuine customers, but they put us through all this rigmarole.”

A Ryanair official said: “The name on the voucher must match the name on the passport as per our terms and conditions.

It comes as the Irish operator sparked outrage at London’s Stansted Airport this weekend, with hundreds of passengers up in arms over lengthy check-in queues.

Not simply black and white THE standoff between business owners and street prostitutes in Magaluf has no easy fix. The women are being blamed for robbing holidaymakers and somehow tainting the image of a resort that hardly has a positive reputation when it comes to Brits behaving badly. But reports suggest that many of the women are the victims of sex trafficking, kidnapped from their home countries amid promises of riches after being brainwashed with voodoo rituals.

And when they arrive, they are told to pay off debts they were previously unaware of and forced to prostitute themselves.

Sex slave rape probe

‘They called me a Chinese b**ch’ from Front page »

LOCK AND KEY: The victim was locked up for eight days.

A 35-YEAR-OLD man has been held for keeping his girlfriend locked up naked at their Benalmadena flat for eight days.

He allegedly confiscated her mobile phone and forced her to have sex with him several times per day while taking photos and recording graphic videos against her will.

The 32-year-old victim, who is from the Dominican Republic, was given very little food and if she tried to disobey him her captor became violent, pulling her hair and slapping her.

She reportedly met the man via the internet and after their relationship progressed with several telephone calls, decided to travel to Malaga from the Caribbean to meet him.

She initially stayed with her cousin, who lives in the area, before moving in with her lover.

But her ordeal began just 24 hours later.

The alarm was raised when she managed to contact her relatives while the man was out and explained what was happening by speaking in code.

They immediately drove

over, broke into the property and took her to a local hospital.

Medics said she was “extremely weak” through a lack of food, but she gave a statement to investigators, who raided the suspect’s home, seizing a laptop, video camera and USB pen drive after cuffing him.

He has already appeared before a judge and charged with illegal detention and sexual assault. Detectives continue to probe the case since they suspect there could be more victims.

NEWS

Speaking exclusively to Euro Weekly News at the time, the 23-year-old from Jiaxing near Shanghai said: “I’m still in shock, it’s the first time this has happened in my life.

“It happened on the first train from Fuengirola to Malaga on Sunday morning.

“Apparently they were abusing a blonde girl before I got on and the ringleader hit a boy as he got off at Arroyo de la Miel.

“They were making a scene at the train like singing loudly, smoking, imitating the way Asians talk in an insulting way and stuff.”

She tried to ignore the bullies, but the teasing continued.

“I went to sleep, but then someone hit me on

the back of the head,” she explained.

“I thought it was a joke, but then they did it again and the whole group started.

“One of them was shooting a video right in front of my face, and when I asked them to stop they just laughed.

“They called me a Chinese b**ch and told me to go back to my country.

“I even had my hair pulled and at that point I got up and made a speech to everyone in the carriage, telling them they were like babies and asking them to stop smoking because there were children on board.

“That’s when the ‘leader’ threw his cigarette in my face.”

Iris has since moved back to China and was unavailable for comment.

Kidnap slave victim found TWO men have been held on suspicion of kidnapping a drug addict and forcing him to be their slave in Algeciras.

The suspects, aged 25 and 31, are also believed to have links to two recent shootings in the port city near Gibraltar.

It comes after police found the victim running through the streets claiming that he had escaped a four-day ordeal during which he had his identity documents robbed after being threatened at knife point.

He was then allegedly forced to peddle drugs while doing housework for his captors, including cleaning floors and the toilet, in exchange for small amounts of drugs and food.

A police official said he was able to flee early in the morning while the culprits slept and confirmed that the two men were ‘especially violent and aggressive’ when officers swooped on the address.

Hashish and ‘a large machete’ were seized before more drugs were found after a second property was raided.

Nightmare break Scot OAP spends birthday trapped in Spain

By Staff Reporter A SCOTTISH pensioner who jetted to Spain to celebrate his 84th birthday ended up stranded in a Mallorca hospital for 10 days after breaking his leg.

Michael Hoy, from Rutherglen near Glasgow, was banned from boarding his flight home after medics insisted he needed a specialised aircraft.

He was immediately taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, and Trisha told local media: “It has been a nightmare from start to finish.

My dad was hospitalised after stepping off a bus in Spain and there was a three foot drop below.

“The next day after the leg break my dad was operated on and doctors were shocked, saying they’d never seen an injury like it.

“It was such a serious operation that my sister and I flew out the next day. We were extremely worried and had no idea what was going to happen.”

Michael, who lives in sheltered housing, flew to Mallorca for a two-week holiday with partner Caroline McKenna for what they anticipated would be a relaxing break.

But the grandfather suffered his horrific injury four days into the trip, with bolts and pins screwed into his leg during four hours of surgery.

Caroline, 82, said: “It was absolutely awful. The language barrier in the hospital was a real problem and we were stuck there for 10 days.”

And further complications

arose as the family prepared to fly home.

Trisha said: “First the ambulance never arrived to pick him up and when we called the insurers they told us it had broken down.

“We also required a special type of wheelchair because of the severity of my dad’s injury, but when we got to the airport they came out with an ordinary wheelchair.

“I got him strong painkillers for the flight home and when we landed there were problems getting my dad off the plane.

Twenty minutes after my sister and I picked up our luggage he still wasn’t out.

“Eventually they had to lift him and he came off the flight.”

Michael is expected to stay in hospital for weeks amid fears that blood clots could develop in the shattered limb.

Trisha added: “He’s had a terrible time. It was a shame that he was in that Spanish hospital for so long - and had to spend his birthday there.

“We bought little cakes from a shop over there and called his grandkids so they could wish him happy birthday and cheer him up.”

CRUISING FOR A BRUISING: The accident aboard Voyager of the Seas saw Lisa Spearman’s hand crushed.

€17.2m ship wreck A ROYAL CARIBBEAN cruise ship worker has won a €17.2 million payout after her hand was crushed during a fire safety drill in Spain.

Marketing and revenue officer, Lisa Spearman suffered permanent injuries when a watertight sliding door slammed into her as she leapt to help a nurse who had fallen during the exercise.

The New Zealander was left with chronic pain syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder, and remains unable to move her fingers properly after the accident, which happened

on board the US operator’s Voyager of the Seas while it was docked in Barcelona.

The door was in the process of being locked for the drill when the ship’s nurse tried to open it with a handle while the victim was on the other side.

And when the medic fell Spearman grabbed one of the handles to try and keep the door open.

But it slid back into the wall, trapping her hand between the handle and frame, before sliding in and out three more times, breaking two of her fingers.

She won the giant settlement after her lawyers argued that the vessel’s staff had not been trained how to use the doors properly.

They added that the firm had sent Spearman to a Spanish doctor who splinted her fingers in the wrong position.

She was later sacked and in 2016 sued for negligence, failure to provide proper medical care, and constructive dismissal.

A court found Royal Caribbean guilty but the operator intends to appeal the decision, according to reports.

Other members of his Middlesbrough-based crew included David Butler, 47, Robert Hutchinson, 32, Mark Robinson, 37, Simon Robinson, 33, Gordon Mckenzie, 33, and Colin McNally, 46.

The court heard that Butler made regular road trips to Liverpool to pick up consignments of drugs and was held after investigators found a kilo of heroin wrapped in kitchen paper hidden in a Ford Focus while he was behind the wheel.

Sweden and Iceland topped the table with scores of 76 out of 100. Austria came third with 74 points, Britain fourth with 69 and France fifth at 66.

Professor Joan Mico, who worked to create the index, said their rankings were based on objective data rather than on opinion surveys.

“This index is part of a mathematic equation that provides guidelines on how to improve the happiness of a society,” she said.

Researchers said high levels of spending on healthcare, education and welfare in Scandinavian countries could be the reason for Sweden and Iceland’s happiness rates.

The index takes into account factors including a country’s development, freedom, solidarity, justice and

AIR RESCUE: The 69-year-old hurt his ribs and foot.

By Matt Ford A BRITISH climber has been rescued after plummeting more than 10 metres down a Spanish mountain in pitch darkness.

The unnamed 69-year-old was found clinging to a tiny ledge with rib and foot injuries after using a mobile phone app to contact his family in the UK. They immediately contacted the British Consulate who raised the alarm.

A Guardia Civil mountain rescue team located him in the Las Minas del Rabico area of the Picos de Europa mountain range in Castilla y Leon using the coordinates he provided.

Rescuers said he suffered the fall after getting lost during a solo trek when thick fog descended.

They used ropes and a ladder to pull him to safety before setting up a small rescue tent where he was able to recover

strength and warmth with food and water.

At first light he was winched to a helicopter in a risky manoeuvre before being flown to the Panderrueda pass where an air ambulance was waiting to transfer him to hospital.

A Guardia Civil official said: “He was found at 2am, lying on a shelf in a very precarious position and with the real possibility of falling into the void below.”

Witnesses said he was “completely drunk” and fell off a table before being dragged out of the venue by security staff. The man also al-

Bierkoenig said racism had “no place” in Mallorca and added it had a zero-tolerance policy .

Photographs of the man performing the salute appear to show him with tattoos of Second World War German soldiers on his back.

He also bore the words ‘Honour, Loyalty, Homeland’ in German on his back, a slogan associated with the Nazi’s SS storm troopers.

The incident comes as local media reported alleged neoNazis had visited the venue and shouted ‘Foreigners out!’ during a concert.

The Pact for the Mar Menor group, an umbrella organisation of campaigners with more than 1,000 members, organised the protest to coincide with World Environment Day last Tuesday.

Isabel Rubio, a co-ordinator from the group, spoke with Euro Weekly News ahead of the protest.

She said the group were calling on authorities to draw up measures to stop the pollution of the lagoon.

Lagoon rally entering the Mar Menor from farming irrigation had upset the ecological balance of the lagoon.

“If people were aware of this ecosystem’s value where threatened fish and bird species live and of its national and international protection status they would fight for the Mar Menor.”

“Regional authorities should ensure they not only protect agricultural interests but also ecological interests and those of all the economic sectors con-

nected with the lagoon,” she said.

Rubio said the group had organised the protest to put pressure on authorities to take the necessary measures to improve water in the lagoon.

“The regional and national government should be vigilant in making sure current laws are followed while also working to draw up the integral law we have asked for,” she said.

“We’ll continue working in this way until the water recovers its past clarity and until agricultural waste stops reaching the lagoon,” she said.

Angel Perez-Ruzafa, a professor at the University of Murcia and a member of the advisory committee for the Mar Menor, said the lagoon could self-recover due to its ecological makeup.

“If there is no dredging or indiscriminate dumping, it will recover. But if urgent measures are not taken we will lose it irredeemably,” he said.

The Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning has banned the use of fire in all fields throughout Andalucia as well as banning motor vehicles from driving through forest areas.

The legislation, from 2009, brings in the ban every summer to try and reduce the number of forest fires in the region.

It also prohibits the burning of vegetation or agricultural waste and the use of barbecues even in designated areas at camping resorts and any area within 400 metres of a forest.

A spokesperson for the Councillor for the Environment, Juan Servan, said areas “will be monitored” by authorities to ensure the rules are enforced.

Barbecues will only be permitted in tourist establishments, rural restaurants, educational camps. Traditional ovens and boilers for distillation are also allowed.

Prior authorisation from provincial Environmental delegations will however be required.

But her Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs Lua and Llop alerted her to the danger.

“They saved my life without a doubt,” the relieved woman said. “Lua started to bark but I told her to shut up and tried to go back to sleep.

“Then Llop grabbed my arm and tried to pull me out of

bed,” she continued. “I got out of bed and at that point saw that the flames were already inside the house.” But when she grabbed a fire extinguisher a window exploded, forcing her to flee.

Neighbours called emergency services, with firefighters from Denia attending the scene and extinguishing the fire, which caused serious damage to her home, but did not affect the shop.

Police are now probing the cause of the incident, while Dominique said the dogs are “still nervous.”

She added: “They are sad because they know I have been in danger.

“If not for them I don’t know what would have happened to me.”

The passenger ’s body odour was so vile that the Transavia service from Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport to Gran Canaria was diverted to Faro on Portugal’s Algarve.

Cabin crew reportedly tried to make the traveller sit in the toilet before the cap-

tain decided to cut the journey short so that he could be taken off the Boeing 737 aircraft.

The foul smell caused some sun-seekers to vomit while others fainted, with Belgian traveller Piet van Haut describing the reek as “unbearable.”

He added: “It was like he hadn’t washed himself for several weeks.

“Several passengers got sick and had to puke.”

A picture snapped by one of those aboard the plane

shows ground staff escorting the stinking individual onto a waiting bus.

A Transavia official said: “The aeroplane diverted because of medical reasons, but it is indeed right that he smelled quite a bit.”

It remains unclear why he stank, or what medical condition he was suffering from.

In February, a Transavia jet from Dubai to Amsterdam was re-routed because a passenger repeatedly broke wind, sparking a mid-air brawl.

On European wills Costa Luz Lawyers

By María L. de Castro Lawyer. Director. Costaluz Lawyers

ON August 17, 2015, a European Regulation on inheritance law came into force.

This regulation allows European citizens to choose for their inheritance to be regulated by either country of residence or country of nationality.

Therefore if you are currently a Spanish resident but you have a different nationality that will provide you with better conditions for your heirs, you can choose this by simply stating it in your will.

This came into effect in 2015 along with the European Certificate of Succession (ECS). This document has been designed to make international probate procedures easier in Spain as it will be a

valid title to enter the land registry.

As a result of this legislation those EU nationals residing in Spain will need to h av e a Spa nis h w ill if the y de c ide to choose their country as the country that will govern their inheritance affairs after they die.

You can also opt to have a Spanish title of will with regards to your assets in Spain. This does not mean that Spain will govern your inheritance, this is simply a tool to make probate easier.

Testators can either specify properties or assets to be destined to specific individuals, or simply make a general statement on who their heirs are.

Under Spanish law it is also possible to designate one or more people to deal with the inheritance as executors. You can also appoint guardians if there are minor children. It should also be noted that the will is always revocable which means you can change it at any time.

All twerk no play Revellers face fine over traffic stunt A DRIVER faces losing six points off his licence and a heavy fine after two blondes in the back seat of his car shocked holidaymakers by putting on an x-rated twerking display in Mallorca.

The revellers held up traffic as they bopped to loud music blaring from the convertible Opel in front of a packed public bus.

In video footage of the shocking scene shot in capital Palma’s port area - where millionaires moor their luxury yachts - one of the scantily-clad women repeatedly slaps the other on the bottom before stripping off her jacket as she writhes suggestively.

Her pal then opens her legs and shakes her backside at waiting motorists who beep their horns impatiently as the pair and a male friend in the front seat take selfies and record videos on their phones.

And she continues her lewd performance as the car performs an illegal U-turn and speeds off.

One Spanish onlooker can be heard shouting: “There are wh***s and then

SHOTS HEARD: Gunfire was heard in Granada three times.

Gunfire heard GUNSHOTS have been heard in Granada City up to three times and in three separate places over the weekend, according to media reports of local witnesses.

The first shot was reportedly fired in the Caseria del Cerro area of the city late on Friday and in the early hours of Saturday.

A gun was fired in the air in the Almanjayar area while police were deployed to Calle Juan de Salcedo after further reports of gunfire on Sunday.

The first of the three incidents is believed to have begun late on Friday evening in what was reportedly a shootout between rival gangs.

Police seized a total of five weapons after arriving in the Caseria del Cerro area on Saturday, with two of those reportedly replicas. Five people were arrested in connection with the gunfire.

The second shot was heard in the Almanjayar area of the city at around 5.15pm on Sunday. Emergency services said police went to Calle Molino Nuevo where someone had fired a shot at a gate but found no damage or injuries had been caused.

At least seven police vehicles were despatched to Calle Juan de Salcedo at around 6.00pm, with the street cordoned off according to witnesses.

Bullet holes were reportedly found in a house in the area, with the number of arrested made not specified by emergency services.

It is unclear if the three events are connected.

THE father of Ignacio Echeverria, the ‘skateboard hero’ stabbed to death by terrorists during the London bridge attacks last year, has paid tribute to his son a year on.

“He did what he had to do. I wouldn’t expect less from him,” Joaquin Echeverria, Ignacio’s father, said.

“I want it to be known that he always wanted to be good,” he added.

The terrorists were stab-

bing a woman when Echeverria, from Madrid, intervened armed with just his skateboard.

“And the next thing Ignacio was then being struck by the three terrorists,” Echeverria’s father said.”

The Spaniard - who was an anti-money laundering expert at HSBC bank - had said he would intervene in the event of a terrorist attack during a family conversation just a few

months prior to the June 3 attacks, his father told.

The Spanish government posthumously awarded him the Great Cross of the order of Civil Merit for ‘extraordinary services.’

Why should I take out a Euro mortgage?

Mortgage Expert

by Sara WHEN buying a property in Spain, many have two options, remortgaging at home or take out a new mortgage in Spain.

“I am thinking of just remortgaging at home” is something we often hear from clients, Sara Stannard says.

She works as a British client advisor in the specialised expatriate mortgage broker, Bank in Spain.

But what sounds like a good and easy option might not be the best way in the long run.

“When taking out a mortgage, the mortgage ought to be in the same currency as the house,” Sara says.

“If you remortgage your house in the UK, the mortgage would be in Sterling.

If you later decide to sell the house in Spain, the sales price in Euros might not cover the sterling mortgage you t o o k o u t d u e t o a d i ff e r e n t e x c h a n g e

rate,” she continues.

“The only thing we know for certain is that the exchange rate between Sterling and Euros will be different tomorrow, than the exchange rate of today.”

Despite the closer integration in the financial services sector in Europe, mortgages are still very much a national product.

UK banks only deal with mortgages on UK properties. The same is to be said for Spanish banks. They will only be able to take out a mortgage on a Spanish property. Surprisingly, this also applies to banks that operate in both countries. They have no cooperation across the national borders.

The reason for this is due to national differences on how the real estate market works as well as differences in legislation. If a bank needs to repossess a property in Spain, the process is very different from what we see in the UK. “With the current exchange rate between Sterling and the Euro and the lower interest rates on Euro mortgages, most of our clients decide to borrow as much as they can in Spain,” Sara ends.

SUMMIT: Lavrov (right) was in Pyongyang for meetings with Kim Jong Un (left).

Lavrov meets Kim in North Korea RUSSIA’S Foreign Minister has travelled to the North Korean capital Pyongyang to meet with the country’s leader Kim Jong Un. Sergei Lavrov told senior officials Russia supported its earlier joint declaration with the South on denuclearising the peninsula and invited the country’s dictator to a future meeting in Moscow.

Crash closes airline AN airline’s fleet has been grounded in an ongoing probe into a plane crash which killed everyone on board. Saratov Airlines Flight 703 fell from the sky minutes after taking off from Domodedovo Airport near Moscow in February, with Russia’s Transport Ministry revoking the company’s operating licence last week.

PP threatens budget chaos

The PP has an absolute majority in the Senate and although it cannot nullify the budget, it can send revisions back to the lower house for revoting.

And the move threatens to destabilise the new Socialist PSOE-led government, which currently has just 84 politicians in the 350-seat parliament.

Socialist lawmaker Jose Luis Abalos said any move to renegotiate the budget would be an “unedifying [act of] vengeance” by the PP following last

The most cost-effective operator was Malaysia’s Air Asia, with a rate of €0.06 per kilometre travelled, with the top five completed by, in order, Air India Express, Indonesia AirAsia, Iceland’s Primera Air and India’s Indigo.

Irish low-cost specialist Ryanair placed seventh most affordable on the list, which was compiled from economy-class flight prices returned in search results from transport search engine Rome2rio.

SPAIN’S ousted People’s Party (PP) has threatened to use its Senate majority to disrupt the new government’s budget.

He suggested this could include reigning in some of the promised €500 million infrastructure investment for the Basque region that enabled his party to

Brakes off SPAINFUL: A Primark store and (inset) the shirt in question.

WALLET-FRIENDLY Irish clothing chain Primark is again selling t-shirts emblazoned with the Spanish flag in Cataluña.

It comes after a recorded telephone call between an irate customer and an employee went viral on social media.

The shopper rang to complain that the firm was selling themed World Cup shirts for all competing nations except Spain in the troubled northern region.

And in the audio clip, the shop worker is heard to respond

that no Spanish version would be sold locally “to avoid a fracas,” sparking outrage online with calls to boycott the brand.

Hours later, an official said in a statement that the decision, made due to “the political situation” had been reversed, and that Spain shirts would be available “as soon as our logistic services permit.”

He added: “We recognise that the idea was wrong and has been interpreted as a lack of respect for the Spanish national team, for which we apologise.”

SPAIN’S automotive industry generated 5,300 new jobs and raked in more than €28.1 million for the Spanish tax agency last year - a year-onyear increase of 5.7 per cent according to the latest government statistics.

The figures represent year-on-year increases of 2.3 and 4.6 per cent, respectively, according to data from the National Statistics Institute.

Euro and pound flounder, US dollar rises Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com

Euro EUR/GBP: Fluctuating, but unmoved at £0.87 EUR/USD: Down from $1.20 to $1.15 The euro (EUR) posted a mixed performance in May, encumbered by ongoing political uncertainty in Italy and Spain, and enduring concerns that the European Central Bank (ECB) will extend their bond-buying programme beyond September this year.

As May draws to a close, however, there has been some good news in the form of a Q2 recovery in German data.

This includes the unemployment rate falling from 5.3% to 5.2% in May and retail sales rising from the -0.4% contraction in March, to grow by 2.3% in April (month-on-month).

Looking ahead, investors will be keeping a close eye on Eurozone data - particularly the looming inflation print - but given the current dovish outlook of the ECB it seems unlikely that the euro will find much purchase.

LOOKING AHEAD: Investors will be keeping a close eye on Eurozone data.

Pound GBP/EUR: Up from €1.13 to €1.14 GBP/USD: Down from $1.37 to $1.32 The pound struggled to make much headway in May, limited in the early weeks by easing consumer price inflation and the ongoing burden of Brexit negotiation stagnation.

On a brighter note, the UK’s labour market

continued to jump from strength to strength, with unemployment sliding to a surprising 4.2% low in the three months to March, whilst retail sales also recovered from 1.3% to 1.5%.

Whether this will be enough to push the Bank of England (BoE) towards acting in a more hawkish fashion with regards to policy remains to be seen, but many analysts are hopeful that the

Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will raise interest rates by 25bp in August.

As we move through June investors will be desperately looking for any signs of progress in Brexit negotiations, particularly with the EU summit scheduled for the end of the month.

If progress is made then we could see the pound make a comeback.

US Dollar USD/GBP: Up from £0.72 to £0.75 USD/EUR: Up from €0.82 to €0.86 The US dollar stormed ahead in May, driven by ongoing expectations for monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve, as well as the robust performance of the US labour market and improving trade relations with China.

A marked rise in US inflation towards the start of the month was good news for USD bulls, with the Fed expected to continue on their gradual path of monetary tightening this year and next.

Beyond this, China has agreed to compromise on various aspects of trade, including agreeing to buy more US goods and services and even plans to address the questionable usage of foreign intellectual property rights.

The outlook remains positive, though any signs of cooling relations between China and the US could send investors to safer shores.

Media blackout is what’s most worrying LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I DON’T think the position of British politicians could have been demonstrated more clearly than their actions concerning two situations that arose in London recently.

On one side of the city a man was being arrested outside the law courts (under some weak excuse of a past contempt charge), for talking on his telephone about a paedophile grooming case being heard inside; while in another part of the city, hooded Islamists, marching with megaphones and spouting anti British propaganda, were being given a police escort!

The one glaringly obvious fact that emerges from these two occurrences is that something is clearly not right. The arrest of Tommy Robinson was a disgraceful act of politically motivated injustice. A decision that should send shivers up the spines of all decent people who believe in the free speech and the democratic society our forefathers fought and died for.

When this man Tommy Robinson first appeared on the scene, I didn’t particularly like him, or the farright policies he appeared to stand for. In those days it was relatively easy for the government and law enforcers to write him off as a fascist yobbo.

But over the years things have changed. The man has now earned a far more acceptable cloak of respectability. He has appeared

on a number of serious political discussions in the media. His views on rape gangs, sharia courts, no go areas and Islamic appeasement, that were at one time dismissed as ‘racist propaganda,’ are now coming to pass and a large and rapidly growing section of the British public are finally beginning to sit up and listen.

In their usual ‘out of touch’ manner the authorities thought that it would all blow over if they simply locked him up and put him out of sight and out of mind. Well this time they have made what could turn out to be an extremely serious mis-

TOMMY ROBINSON JAILING: ‘A disgraceful act of politically motivated injustice.’

take. They reckoned without the social media.

The gagging orders they arrogantly put on all events that could ‘cause embarrassment,’ (or worse), simply don’t work any more, and this latest was no exception.

Despite their efforts to suppress information thousands of people turned out, not only in London, but in many major cities across the world; they actually stormed Downing Street!

All of them calling for the release of this man and the injustice of his arrest. At the time of writing half a million people have signed a petition with the same message. It would take a brave or extremely stupid politician to label all these people knuckle dragging right wing bigots. The most worrying, and indeed insulting aspect of all, is the media blackout.

This is a blatant dictatorial attempt to suppress our most precious freedom of all. Our right to free speech. Millions of decent people are, at the moment, either worried or utterly peed off with it all.

Heaven help our leaders if this worry turns to serious anger. Let us hope no harm comes to Tommy Robinson in prison, particularly from an Islamic extremist. In this event, he could turn into the catalyst which triggers off the scenario this ol’ boy has also been warning of for the last 25 years.

Specs that’ll see you ‘spinning around’ Kylie reveals the second instalment of her eyewear collection POP superstar, fashion icon and designer, Kylie Minogue has unveiled the latest additions to her eyewear collection, which are available exclusively at Specsavers Opticas.

Each new pair in the Kylie Minogue eyewear collection takes its name from one of her classic tracks, including All The Lovers and Spinning Around.

With Kylie describing the style cues as ‘reinterpreted retro’, the collection features a chic mix of rose gold, soft pastels and classic monochrome, adorned with delicate Swarovski crystals and her unmistakable ‘K’ tag.

To complement the specs, Kylie has, for the first time, designed a selection of stylish glasses chains in black, midnight blue and dark brown faux leather.

Kylie said: “After the success of my debut collection, I was so excited to start on the second phase!

Never Too Late “Dare to be different with these edgy, angular ‘pilot-style’ glasses which are totally versatile. The rose gold hue on the metal frames is mirrore d by the pink mar bl e temple tip, adding that feminine touch.”

KYLIE: After the success of her first eyewear collection, she launches her second!

“The sparkle detail I’ve included in a few of the frames means they can be easily switched from daytime wear to night-time.

We’ve also continued the inclusion of petite sizes and introduced some larger sizes so there really is something for everyone.”

Fever “I love the splash of cyan combined with the brown/gold marbled effect on these raised teacupshaped frames. They are perfect for any wardrobe and make for a comfortable everyday essential.”

Love At First Sight Sun Rx “ The s e fra me s a re great f or adding that little splash of colour to your wardrobe on holiday. The pilot-style adds a touch of masculinity which contrasts with the ros e -tinte d le ns . The s e ar e m y fa vourite , it w a s love at f i r st sight!”

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

MARIANO RAJOY and the Partido Popular are on the skids, but Spain’s president is in denial and unblushingly proclaimed that Eduardo Zaplana’s €10 millions’ worth of kickbacks on government contracts was an ‘isolated case.’

That was a few hours before the Gurtel sentences were announced: 51 years and 11 months for businessman Francisco Correa, the German version of whose name gave the case its name.

Thirty-three years and four months for Luis Barcenas, the former Partido Popular treasurer who oversaw the illegal funding of the party and hived off millions for himself.

And so on down the list of PP politicians who were on the make and on the take.

Then came the triple whammy when the National High Court said that the PP’s Caja B - a black money cashbox - and its parallel bookkeeping had existed since 1989 at least.

The party, aware that it is holed not only beneath the waterline but above it too, maintains that this hap-

They do things differently pened in the past and has nothing to do with the present-day party.

“The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there,” it’s said, and that’s what Rajoy and his government are trying to tell us now.

But Spain is still the same country and nothing is done differently.

Return of the boomerang MARIANO RAJOY’S disastrous inaction over the Catalan problem and his insistence on dealing with it as a judicial, not a political, issue has ricocheted.

Carles Puigdement, the self-exiled former president of Cataluña is safe and sound in Berlin because the German courts take a different view of what constitutes rebellion and sedition. Spain might eventually get him for misappropriation of public funds - money is a judicial common denominator everywhere - but even that’s not certain.

And all along, once the PP’s illegal funding and the dirty Gurtel

washing were displayed for all to see, Rajoy insisted that the courts would see that justice was done. And they have.

Unfortunately for the Partido Popular, the party was not exonerated but accused of institutional corruption and some big political names are in jail or on the point of going there.

Rajoy’s go-to solution has done him no favours and his insistence on leaving the judiciary to do his dirty work means his boomerang keeps coming back with calamitous results.

Diversionary tactics WHEN everyone in Spain was appalled after the Gurtel corruption case broke and the then-king’s sonin-law was found siphoning off the taxpayer’s money, they were less aware of what was simmering in Cataluña.

Once Cataluña grabbed everybody’s attention they stopped looking at corruption.

PROBLEMS AHOY: Mariano Rajoy’s past might come back to haunt him.

More recently the public lifted its hands in righteous horror on learning that Pablo Iglesias and Irene Montero have bought a €670,000 villa on a €540,000 mortgage.

Meanwhile they temporarily forgot about Cataluña, corruption and the Galapagar house and concentrated on Pedro Sanchez’s censure motion against Mariano Rajoy, but only briefly.

In politics there’s no hiding place for long and soon it’s time to come under public scrutiny once more like a merry-go-round but less fun than La Ronde. Instead it’s a case of what goes around, comes around.

Namesakes IT’S hard to keep up with the names involved in the Catalan situation. There’s a High Court judge called Lamela and a Supreme Court judge named Llarena. The Speaker of the Catalan parliament answers to Torrent and the regional president’s surname is Torra while secessionist MPs Turull and Rull are currently remanded. What’s in a name? Potential confusion. columnists@euroweeklynews.com

Discover how to make the most of the month ahead with your June Astrology, Numerology and Tarot forecast...

Sally Trotman www.sallytrotman.com Sally Trotman is a qualified Counsellor who works with Astrology, Numerology and the Tarot. Each month she will deliver the forecast as an intuitive tool to aid increased self awareness.

ASTROLOGY: reach for the stars!

Sun in Gemini: The airy influence of this sign may bring a plethora of ideas this month. Gemini, symbolised as the twins, can indicate perhaps some indecision or a choice between two options this month.

When making decisions try to balance your inner wisdom with practical action to make the best choice for you. On June 21 the sun moves into the sign of Cancer. This nurturing and maternal sign brings the focus to your home life, and family.

Do something every day which is kind, for yourself and for someone close to you. Offering this act of kindness to yourself and others will help to improve your self-esteem and general feeling of well-being.

Get in tune with the moon: The

new moon in Gemini on June 13 brings the opportunity to make new connections and communicate in an authentic way with others. If you have a strong message to get across to the world, through the written or spoken word, now is the time to take action!

On June 28, the full moon in the sign of earthy Capricorn will help you to ground your ideas, to let go of your wilder, more mercurial plans, replacing these with a longer lasting vision. Take time to connect with nature around the time of the summer solstice too, appreciating the bounty of the earth by spending time outdoors either gardening, walking or simply meditating in a beautiful spot in the sunshine.

Numerology: practise loving kindness

GEMINI: Symbolised as the twins.

Number 6: This is the number of Gaia, the earth, the ultimate nurturer, the giver of unconditional love and deep compassion. The influence of this number helps you to create balance and harmony within yourself and your world at large.

This creative number is encouraging you to take time to write, sing, paint or spend time on whatever creative pursuit you chose. When you

are involved in a creative act, you are fully present. By allowing yourself to be fully immersed in this moment you are connected to the divine, grateful and at peace. Develop a creative practice to help you remain more present and open to your inner guidance.

The Hierophant: the lovers The sixth card in the Major Arcana Tarot deck is the Lovers. This card represents relationships and choices.

You may be presented with conflicting options this month, particularly in relationships, whether romantically, or in a professional sense. This card deals with the themes of attachment, union, and partnership.

A new partner in some form may present themselves to you this month.

Use your intuition to guide you as to whether this is a union that will benefit you both or whether perhaps there is a hidden agenda. When in doubt wait until you have all the facts before you commit to a decision or course of action.

Repeat this affirmation throughout the month to help you: I am creating an abundant world through my positive thoughts and actions.

Your personalised forecast Astrology, Numerology and the Tarot are ancient tools of divination which aid self-awareness. By looking at the unique numbers, planets and corresponding Tarot Cards linked to your date of birth, I will intuitively guide you to become clearer, calmer and more confident about your direction. I offer consultations by Skype, Facetime, WhatsApp video and email. Thirty minute consultations cost £25 throughout June.

A Bishop, a curry and a huge amount of talent TV COUCH CRITIC

by Adam Whalley-Lewis BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT finally reached its conclusion for season 12 over the weekend (ITV) with Lee ‘Lost Voice Guy’ crowned the winner.

Now it probably says a lot about me, but be honest, like me, were you initially unsure how to react to someone so confident, whose act is so different and who is so brilliantly funny?

And Bishop Curry doing the intro as though God Himself would be watching, that was a Marmite moment.

Lee is a star.

I’m a Geordie, so Lee gets an automatic tick in the votes box and my brother is called Lee, so another tick, but the guy is also terrific and that’s surely what everyone saw and why he won. I love that Lee wants to develop a Geordie accent for his voice, although the pronunciation of ‘Newcassel’ he currently has is probably good enough for most stottie eaters I

TECH FOR THE TIMID CAN it be true that the jostling passenger who stole my phone on the packed 916 bus in Rome last month really was a Catholic priest?

Of course I ignored all the warnings about pick-pocketing in Rome. Couldn’t happen to me.

Though it’s unlikely to have been my priestly neighbour, I would have felt less humiliated if my phone had indeed transitioned that smoothly from my zipped pocket into the folds of a cassock as we both headed for the Vatican and redemption.

Almost half of all thefts reported now are smartphones, routed virtually anywhere in the world within days by well-oiled syndicates.

If you’re insured you’re in for a challenging round of musical chairs at a Local Police station to file the required report. Harbour no illusions: they almost certainly won’t look for it.

But replacing the actual device is not the main issue.

Indeed it’s an opportunity to buy a shiny new gadget even if it does mean living on bread and

know. Finally on BGT, I really wanted to like Robert White, but couldn’t.

He had some funny one liners - ‘I have Asperger’s, what does that say about me, compared to you, I’m more intelligent’ - brilliantly intelligent humour, but the digs at Amanda and to some degree David, just didn’t do it for me.

A Very English Scandal (BBC1) concluded on Sunday evening. You know I’m a fan of the show and the final episode didn’t disappoint.

As this all too short series has moved along, I’ve become an even bigger fan of Monica Dolan who plays Thorpe’s devoted wife, Marion.

She has had some cracking one liners and the boil in the bag, cod in parsley sauce scene, is the stuff of TV legend. If you missed the series, you can catch up on BBC iPlayer.

One of Channel 5’s better Sunday offerings was The Unstoppable Flying Scotsman, which must have had

ALL TOO SHORT: A Very English Scandal.

STAR: Lee bagged the Britain’s Got Talent crown. stream and train addicts (I’m told they are not necessarily one and the same) on the edge of their seats. Of course there were lots of shots of the magnificent locomotive and Rob Bell (he’s an engineer and obvious Scotsman fan) did a smashing job guiding us

through the sometimes turbulent story of perhaps the most famous train in the world. There are only two 60minute episodes, so my advice is set a reminder and watch them both together, with a massive glass of your favourite tipple and an even bigger

Smartphone stupidity Terence Kennedy suffers a holiday property redistribution

PHONE FILCHING: Fifty per cent of all thefts. water for the next month.

Nor is it mainly about one thing many people forget: that if you don’t block a lost phone immediately, the bad guys have a nasty little wheeze of using it to call premium numbers back in Desolatistan at €20+ a minute on your account, ka-ching.

Nope, it’s all the confidential stuff we keep on our phones these days which hurts. Banking apps, online shopping apps, vulnerable information of every hue and cry and all those access codes.

Tackle the damage limitation and you quickly learn just how many websites simply aren’t

geared up for your scenario. ‘Register a new phone to your account?

No problem, for security reasons first send us confirmation from your old one.’ Ummm….

And of course there are lessons to be learned. If only I had set up the wonderful ‘find my phone’ facility which both Apple and Android devices offer - before it got stolen. If only I had kept a separate note of all my online banking and other confidential information so that I would know who to call and what to say in the event of.

If only…

But look on the bright side. A third of the users in a recent US study said they would pay a thousand dollars to get their phone back. I’m not one of those people.

I would have loved to see the look of disgust when my thief realised he’d stolen a six-year old dinosaur of a phone. Heck, given time to first extract my information, I’d actually have paid him to take it.

dose of nostalgia.

We are still with Sunday TV, but this will be brief. Where is the story going on The Handmaid’s Tale, Channel 4? We know that season two doesn’t follow the book, because there is no season two storyline in the book, but I’m going off the dark rooms (someone just switch on a light, please) and the seemingly never-ending attempt to get to the Promised Land, in this case that would be Canada and I don’t mean the lovely shopping centre just off the A-7 on the Costa del Sol. I have previously said I find this hard to watch, but it’s getting harder for all the wrong reasons.

Looking forward, BBC1 has the annual coverage of Trooping the Colour on Saturday morning if you need a top up of pageantry following the Royal Wedding; Channel 4 is in Spain looking for A Place in the Sun on Saturday afternoon and Versailles continues on BBC2 on Monday night - I will let you know what I make of the new series next week.

Happy viewing.

Steal away AS the FBI keeps discovering, current phone security erects a daunting fortress wall around your device. If you enable it.

Short of the rather uncomfortable option of cutting off your finger, thieves find a fingerprint-protected phone a nightmare to crack. Ditto a good password, and that doesn’t mean 123456.

At the very least, when you get a new phone install a security app or suite which lets you wipe your phone remotely in a worst-case scenario.

Phone-tracking apps can certainly work. But if your phone is stolen, not just lost, consider very carefully what you would do if a tracker does indeed find it - in the middle of a mafia stronghold or a neighbourhood where even the shadows won’t go.

Good luck finding a SWAT team.

Border disorder: The Irish border Nora Johnson Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

WHAT BORDER?: There is presently no infrastructure between the two jurisdictions on the island.

At the moment I’d put my money on a fudge around option 2.

However, things still remain uncertain - many feel the EU’s acting like a playground bully and it’s time we stood up to it. And the trouble with fudge is that it’s only sweet on first tasting. What lasts is the stickiness on the fingers and the cloying heaviness in the digestion. Incidentally, I have a recurrent childlike nightmare about missing my bus home from school. In psychobabble terms, I know what this relates to: fear of missing my imminent crime novel publishing deadline. I wonder if Theresa May also suffers from nightmares about missing a deadline (or two)?

Oh, and what are you listening to on Spotify?

Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.net) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.99;£0.99) and iBookstore.

I tell them what I think Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I BELONG to a few loyalty programmes for hotels I stay at, airlines I use, car hire I also use - eBay and Pay Pal. You get the idea . No w I ’ v e t o ld th e m all th a t although I live in Spain I do not read Spanish, so could they please send all information to me in English. Not one of them is able to do it.

You would think, in this day and age, it would be the simplest thing to do. Vodafone is one of the biggest communication companies in the world yet they are not capable of sending me anything in English. I wonder how many English customers they have in Spain?

It’s ok if I call them as I always manage to get an English-speaking operator but once you need to maybe speak to someone past them you hit a brick wall.

You then have to have an operator translating for you.

W h a t ’s wr o n g w ith p eo p le ? O ld , young, all ages but I have to admit mostly 30-40ish. It’s called ‘door etiquette.’

Here are the rules - when a door opens

LEGALLY SPEAKING Do they pay wealth tax?

My wife and I reside in the UK and have had a holiday home in Spain for 14 years.

Our income is taxed in the UK. We pay the Suma Property Tax, the supposed Property Rental Tax, and the Waste Collection Tax. Our friends say we should also pay Wealth Tax on the property, as they all do. We have never received a request to pay the tax. Should we pay Wealth Tax or not?

TJC (Costa Blanca)

Breaking Views

THE Bank of England’s chief economist says it’s possible to detect the mood of a country from the music it’s listening to on Spotify. What should we be listening to at the moment, then? Billie Holiday singing Gloomy Sunday, aka the Hungarian Suicide song?

The ongoing Irish border problem, that I wrote about here recently, doesn’t help. Long story short, the UK doesn’t want a trade deal that aligns the UK and the EU both for customs and single market rules, but neither does it want any infrastructure along the Irish border. This is a contradictory position which the UK still hasn’t been able to resolve. Basically, there are only three possible solutions. 1) The UK remains in the single market and enters into a customs union with the EU. 2) The transition period is extended indefinitely. 3) There’s no withdrawal agreement, no transition period and no trade deal.

The City seems to be betting on BINO (Brexit In Name Only).

Only problem is, there’s no ‘half-in, half-out’ option. As long as the UK doesn’t fully accept free movement we’re no longer eligible for membership of the single market.

The same goes for the customs union: there’s no half-way house. We’re fully in or fully out. Since the government wants the freedom not to apply the common external tariff, we’d be fully out.

you let the people out first before you go in.

It can be particularly difficult if you are in a crowded lift and you are not by the doors. The doors open - you utter a couple of excuse me’s and off you go but no, someone always tries to get in.

And another thing, when the lift is full, it’s full. Wait for the next one. Don’t try and squash yourself in. This also applies to trains. I had the misfortune to use one in the UK for the first time in probably 30 years. It’s a joke. The doors open and it’s bedlam and people just keep getting on and I was trying to get off.

I try not to take my wheelchair with me on these outings because technically I get to sit in one of the allotted seats for disabled but it is just all too difficult so next time I’ll take it but, to be honest, that can be a nightmare on its own.

I take my wheelchair to the UK when I go and I have the same problem getting the courtesy bus to the car hire centre.

Every time I’m struggling to get off with my wheelchair and case and people are pushing past me to get on and they do not bat an eyelid except of course until I tell them what I think of them!

If you pay your Spanish taxes through Suma, you live in the Valencian Autonomous Region. Suma is their tax collection agency. In Valencia, the first €600,000 of value is exempt from Wealth Tax. Until 2015 this exemption did not apply to non-residents and that is why your friends had to pay it from the first euro of valuation.

Impressed by the kindness of Mojacar I WOULD like to say how impressed I was with the kindness of two Spanish people and the Local Police who helped an elderly Scottish couple.

They had left the lady’s bag containing their documents, passports, money etc on a bus from Las Roquetas, which they got off in Mojacar The bus had continued its journey stopping at Vera en route to its final destination in Murcia. The two Spanish people, a lady and gentleman who were not connected to each other helped to reassure and calm the elderly lady who was quite distraught. They tried to contact the bus company and when this was not successful they then contacted the Local Police, who came and spoke to the elderly couple taking details of the bus and where they were seated.

Officers then arranged with their colleagues in Vera to collect the bag off the bus when it stopped there.

The happy ending was the very relieved Scottish couple were united with their bag and its contents at the Local Police Station in Vera. They then returned to Mojacar to enjoy the rest of their day.

Very well done all concerned.

Barry Tynan, Mojacar

Brit expats charged with hate crimes Shame on the Mallorca officials for even giving these thieves the time of day. This is in no way a race crime, just concerned residents wanting to keep us all safe as the police seem unable to do this.

Yup the race card again, but police should fingerprint them, are they legally in the country paying taxes etc? Spain needs to be like America or Australia only in to work via a visa if they have money to support themselves and medical insurance.

Marie Ross Main

Most appalling service from this mob, I agree some will moan but continue to use, I just don’t use them. They specialise in taking more off you when you can’t do much about it.

Robert Jake Wilson

So it’s not OK to protest against those who rob and attack people? I wonder how many of the sex workers have been arrested or is prostitution legal in Spain?

Health board warns of cockroach plague I use bay leafs in my cupboards and around my

home. They hate bay leaf!

Also last year in the corners of my garden I placed tall jars lined with olive oil quarter filled with red wine and brown sugar... They love it...

They crawl in and because of the oil can’t get out!!! Not usually so cruel but I can’t deal with cockroaches.

Kim Foster Yuk, my pet hate. I had them in a rental in Mojacar in winter!!! Had to buy all sorts of stuff to get rid of them, they came up the old drains and lived in the downstairs loo.

Sian Foster

Jet2 passengers win payout Quite right! I would have got off as well. Good on him to pursue them - they are idiots as paying up would have put them in a really positive light and now they have managed to damage their reputation. Not sure who does their PR but they want retraining!

Jeni Potter The more this happens the better us normal travellers get treated.

Richard Taylor

IT has been both frustrating and heartbreaking dealing with nasty people.

We have cried so many tears and felt so much anger.

I would like to know what so many people in Salou have against defenceless cats. We have never witnessed such hostility and cruelty in one place.

My husband and I feed stray homeless cats every day. These cats are innocent and beautiful. They ask for so little. A bit of food, a little affection.

What does it cost to be kind?

There have been kittens that were poisoned and left to suffer and die and there have been teenagers who go and terrify cats just for fun.

What has become of a society that brings up children with no conscience?

Thank God there are people out there that care. SOS Gatos is one such organisation. We strongly encourage you to support them.

It takes so little to make such a big difference in these little angels’ lives.

When we lose our ability for compassion we lose our humanity.

Paul & Lorna DeCouto, Salou

Brexit Bible I READ with interest Colin MacGregor’s letter where he states that his reason for moving from the UK to Spain was because the former follows EU rules whereas the latter ignores them.

It reminded me of a conversation with an elderly English visitor to the Costa del Sol who was amazed to see orange trees full of fruit growing in the streets.

He wondered how the Spanish got away with it, because in England the EU had made a village cut down all its apple trees as they deemed falling fruit to be a danger to life.

He knew this was true because he had read it in his Brexit Bible... the Daily Mail. This one is so ridiculous it doesn’t even make the Euromyths Debunked list (mostly quotes by the Sun, Mail and Boris Johnson).

The aforementioned tabloids are virtually the only ones on sale here and so are the daily diet of ‘expats,’ a large proportion of whom soak up their propaganda agenda and would have voted ‘Leave.’

However, in contrast to Colin, I would prefer to believe the Euro Weekly News statistics that the majority voted ‘Remain,’ as surely they would have been aware of the staggering irony/ hypocrisy of voting for the UK to leave the EU when they themselves are reaping the benefit of freedom of movement.

A strong romantic flow to your week could be interrupted. This is because there are some business matters that really do need your attention. Although it is not a particularly good time to make firm financial commitments, there are areas to work on.

These are mainly associated with saving money and reorganising.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This really is a week to get to grips with any healthy eating or exercise regimes. Owing to the influence of Mars, you are in a vigorous and determined mood. You find that your added confidence and healthy glow are attractive to the opposite sex.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) This is a spiritual week and you will be likely to want comfort.

Give yourself time alone to look at the world around you and enjoy what it has to offer. As the weekend approaches, you will be able to get more into the mainstream and enjoy the company of others.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) 28

ARIES (March 21 - April 20)

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Being at odds with someone close has given you pause for thought. This would be a good time to change the situation for the better. Offering the olive branch is your best approach, but be sure that you are sincere. Sometimes, you are a book easily read.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Such a time of expansion comes rarely, but now you are being handed opportunities. Be sure to make the most of them by being organised enough to take full advantage. With your energy high, you are in a position to steam ahead with plans. Should others feel left out you can find a place for them.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Having had such a busy time recently you may be craving a quiet period. I am afraid this will have to wait at the moment.

Small snatches at tranquillity are possible but the pressure is still on.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Have you been too busy to spend time on yourself? Get your looks and health back on track by using this week to good effect. Revamp your diet and exercise as required.

Spend time with people who are supportive and share the same interests.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Some difficulty in your love life will need to be handled carefully. Unforeseen developments could take you by surprise (especially if you haven't read this in time). Your need is to avoid telling white lies to get out of a situation.

Given time, most situations in this category will ease.

RECENT recommendations have been made that we should be shifting our mealtimes to earlier in the day.

Scientists researching this connection between eating and our body clocks are trying to establish the eating times which are more beneficial for our health.

It is understood that in each 24-

WITH temperatures really beginning to rise now is the time to take some advice about how to protect yourself from unwanted sunburn and decrease your chances of developing skin cancer in the future.

When you’re out and about wear protective clothing. It may be hot, but there’s no reason not to don a pair of linen pants, a long sleeved silk shirt or a straw hat. The great thing about hats, apart from being a fabulous fashion accessory, is that their wide brims will cover your face as well as your ears and scalp.

And don’t leave home without your sunglasses.

These will protect your eyes from the UV rays which can cause eye problems. Always buy sunglasses that block as close to 100 per cent as possible of UVB and UVA rays. If you can, restrict your time outside in the sun, particular around the hours of midday.

If you are out during these hours make use of any shade offered. Don’t forget to put sunscreen on before you leave the house and reapply it as necessary during the day. Cover every part of your body which will be exposed to the sun. Taking these few steps can help to reduce your chances of developing skin cancer and lessen premature signs of ageing.

names to look out for this year is Astrid Andersen. This London-based brand creates premium casualwear with a sports inspired aesthetic that intends to create a new generation in menswear.

If you don’t want to miss it, the event takes place in the BFC Showspace, 180 The Strand, London and tickets can be purchased at www.london fashionweekfestival.com If you can’t make it, book your tickets now for the London fashion festival to be held from September 20 to 23.

How long does whiplash last?

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com Credit: Astrid Andersen

far the research suggests that the late meal enjoyed by virtually everyone in Spain is, metabolically speaking, not right.

In fact, perhaps the full English breakfast first thing in the morning is actually much better for you than a platter of Spanish tapas followed by paella last thing at night!

A FEW years ago I was involved in a car accident - another driver didn’t see the red light and rear ended me. I became part of a growing statistic - a whiplash victim.

Immediate and short term symptoms stiffness and tenderness in the neck and upper back headaches dizziness pain in shoulders and arms difficulty turning your head Early treatment The quicker you start treatment, the better. Use an ice pack immediately to reduce muscle spasms, tissue swelling and internal bruising.

Common causes of whiplash 10mph (16 kmph) or less

rear end car accident is the most common cause Falls injuring elbow / wrist / shoulder Contact sports Assault or abuse Long term symptoms With quick, correct treatment the neck pain associated with whiplash decreases rapidly. But headaches, pain in the arms and upper spine can continue.

Whiplash (or other neck/cervical spine issues) can have an impact on: digestive issues immune compromise pain in other areas of the spine cognitive ability anxiety / depression breathing issues tinnitus migraines As well as many more.

Because every nerve in the body runs through your neck the damage caused by whiplash can be longer lasting

and have a much greater effect than ‘just’ neck pain What to do Get a good, clinical assessment as soon as possible.

X-rays only give information about the bones and their location so get a thorough assessment to understand what, if any, investigations you need.

The jolting motion of whiplash also stretches the ligaments which support the neck, making the neck more unstable and increasing the chance of further injury.

So please ensure that treatment is gentle (no cracking and snapping!) to prevent any further damage to these tissues.

Protection Unfortunately many whiplash injuries are caused by others hitting you so are difficult to avoid. However ensuring your car seat headrest is in the correct position will help.

What is that bump on the white of my eye?

IT is summer time again and while some sun is good for us, we do need to protect our eyes from too much UV radiation and sun damage. It is known that UV can accelerate the growth of cataracts and that it has also been connected with macular degeneration however not so many people know that hot dry dusty climates can cause Pingueculae and Pterygiums.

They are fairly common eye conditions in spite of their strange names. In my experience, these conditions are found more frequently here in Spain than in UK and on my trips to Africa with Vision Aid Overseas, they were a very common occurrence.

A Pinguecula usually appears as a yellowish bump on the white of the eye, frequently found on the nasal side.

It is almost like a thickening of the conjunctiva, a bit like a callus and can occur if the eye has suffered with chronic irritation from dust and UV exposure.

A Pterygium is a bit more invasive and while it starts on the white of the

SUN DAMAGE: UV can accelerate the growth of cataracts. eye, it can grow onto the cornea and affect the vision. It has been known as farmer’s eye as it tends to occur more in hot dry dusty atmospheres especially outdoors and where there are high levels of UV light.

A Pinguecula can sometimes grow into a Pterygium and while a Pterygium can be removed surgically unfortunately around 30-40 per cent may grow back. The best way of treating them is prevention and so protecting your eyes from UV by using good quality sunglasses is important. Many sunglasses can be made up in prescription lenses and we can get curved lens-

es in many prescriptions now. Artificial tear drops can be used to lubricate the delicate areas at the front of the eyes so helping to protect the eyes from dryness.

At Optica Machin we have a range of stylish sunglass frames which can be made up as prescription spectacles and if you hate swapping spectacles, then choosing Transition lenses are

a great option. They come in grey, brown and the new cool and relaxing green. For those who need extra dark lenses, then Transitions Xtra-active is the best option.

Our 2018 collection of prescription sunglasses has now arrived including designer collections Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade and Missoni as well as our new classic ranges. Prices start at just 79€ for single vision lenses and are also available in bifocal and varifocal options. Alongside these we have our specialised sun-

glasses for active wear from Bolle offering specialised sports filter tints for activities like golf, cycling, and skiing.

Choosing the right product for your visual needs and lifestyle can be confusing and this is where we at Optica Machin can help.

Something for the imagination?

PERHAPS a great surprise a nd dis a ppointme nt to many, but tight swimming trunks have just been voted a s the U K ’s ‘mos t ha te d clothing.’

Often simply referred to as Speedos or budgie smugglers, these wardrobe musthaves are essentially a pair of tightly-fitted swimming trunks.

They were originally designed in the 1960s to reduc e dra g a nd give e xtra s upport a nd c omfort to c ompe titive s w imme rs .

And they have continued to be proudly worn by strapping a thle te s a round the world for decades.

However, it seems the ave ra ge B rit is not quite s o ready to fit the mould and would rather prefer to leave a little s ome thing to the imagination.

In the recent YouGov survey, almost seven out of 10 Brits said they disliked the trunks, with more women than men against them, at 74 per cent.

Yet, these opinions aren’t he ld a c ros s the w hole of Europe. In Spain, Speedos continue to be hugely popular and in France it’s even obligatory for men to wear the tight trunks in most public pools.

TIGHT FIT: Some men love the extra support that budgie smugglers provide.

HEALTH & BEAUTY SUCH news might not even bat an eyelid in Asia, but news has emerged that you might actually have been eating insects your whole life.

It appears that one of the most widely used food colourings used to create pink, orange, purple and red is actually made from squashed bugs.

The insects are called cochineal, are native to Latin America, and they live on cacti.

They are mostly farmed in Peru where millions are pro-cessed every year to produce the colouring. According to the Peruvian Embassy to the UK, the country has a 95 per cent share of the international market.

These days, carmine is added to an endless number of food items including juices, ice creams, yoghurts and sweets. In fact, many UK products such as Mr Kipling cakes and Bachelor soups use carmine.

However, given the increasing number of people who are choosing to go vegan or be ethical consumers, companies are having to respond and adapt to evolving consumer habits. One such company is Starbucks which has stopped using carmine.

Yet, if you want to make the choice to avoid these insects in your

GRUB’S UP: The tiny bugs live on prickly pear cacti in Latin America. diet, it might prove more difficult than you imagine. The word ‘carmine’ isn’t listed on food prod-

ucts, instead you’ll have to search for ‘natural red four,’ ‘crimson lake’ or just E120.

Keeping healthy IF you’re in Spain on holiday, or perhaps heading away, then you might be wondering what precautions you can take to avoid an upset stomach.

The n a st i e s t h a t c a n ca u s e s u ch trouble are hiding in contaminated food such as raw or undercooked meat, eggs, fresh produce, dairy products, and water.

Because of this, it’s generally advised not to drink tap water. Remember too that the sauces available with your food in certain restaurants may have been watered down using tap water.

Ensure everything you eat is hot and has been cooked at the right temperature. This will ensure that there is no bacteria present.

Try to avoid salads or food that has been sitting outside and also try to avoid uncooked seafood as this is a common culprit in many developed countries, including Spain.

Look around and take note of where the locals eat. You can rest assured that a business that constantly attracts the locals has food which is worth returning for.

And before you eat, always wash your hands with hot water and soap. This is another effective way of preventing sickness on holiday.

If you eat fruit, avoid eating the skin of the fruit. It’s best to eat fruit which has a peelable skin, such as bananas.

DODGY STOMACH: Take a few precautions to stay healthy.

If you do get food poisoning, you will know. The main symptoms of food poisoning are diarrhoea and vomiting, which may be accompanied by fevers and shivers. In addition to this, food poisoning can cause y o u to ha ve s toma c h a c he , fa tigue , headaches and muscle aches.

If you experience any of these, drink as much (non-alcoholic!) fluid as possible.

And if you really want to save this little critters, you’ll also have to be more selective on what eye shadow

and lipstick you chose, as many cosmetic products also use these squashed bugs for colouring.

Loud and proud

THIS year’s Gay Pride event in Torremolinos was a great success and passed off without incidence.

With over 50,000 people attending, numbers surpassed those from previous years and the Saturday parade was a record breaker too with estimates of just under 20,000 enjoying the colour and delights along the route.

The motto of the festival this year was ‘50 Years of B e i n g Vi s i b l e ’ a n d t h e LGBTI communities and theirs supporters certainly lived up to expectations.

The message was clear and the LGBTI communities were proud.

After only four years it is certain that this event will become a stronghold in the Torremolinos calendar as well as a not-to-bemissed event in the European and international LGBTI calendar.

RAINBOW SKIES: Attendees flocked around La Nogalera for the events.

Beach club anniversary PLAYA PADRE’S recent celebration of its first anniversary in Marbella was a huge success as giant flares illuminated the stunning beach back drop, creating a magical atmosphere.

This year, Playa Padre opened the summer season with Canadian actress Katheryn Winnick, more commonly known as Lagertha from the smash hit Viking series. Fantastic DJ sets had everyone to their feet for an unforgettable night of music and dance.

With a very strong Boho philosophy Playa Padre focuses on music, the arts and creativity, associated with writers, artists, intellectuals and travellers. It remains faithful to its style and is a place with charm and authenticity.

Playa Padre is also very conscious of its corporate and social responsibility, and is the first local business that allocates part of its profits to the Casa Global Gift.

It’s a family affair

by John Smith IF you are looking to buy an English language book in the area between San Pedro Alcantara and Sotogrande then life has just become much easier.

A brand new bookshop, called, enterprisingly The Bookshop, had its official opening on Friday June 1 in the La Colonia shopping centre of San Pedro.

Having previously been the manager of the Bookworld España store in nearby Guadalmina (which has been shut for some time), Alicia Duggan has wanted to get back into books, but decided to wait until her two daughters Reece and Paris were a little older.

Now she has taken the plunge and with the help and blessing of the entire family including husband Derek she has gone ahead with this exciting new venture.

Ideal for a dinner party

by Andrew Harding THIS week my recipe is Chicken Milanese. It is a little fiddly to make but well worth the effort and is ideal for a dinner party as all the preparation can be carried out beforehand, leaving time to entertain your guests. Personally, I like this dish served with broccoli steamed in the microwave and pasta spirals, but roasted gnocchi will also work well.

Chicken Milanese Serves 6 6 whole chicken breasts, no skin, no bone flattened 3 tablespoons plain white flour, 3 whole eggs, beaten 3 teaspoons garlic puree 300g bread crumbs 6 tablespoons olive oil For the sauce 3 cans tomatoes, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil

following shortly will be a number of games.

With easy, free parking, The Bookshop is situated at CC La Colonia Local 21, San Pedro Alcantara, Marbella 29670 and has a website at www.the bookshop.es.

FIDDLY BUT WORTH IT: Chicken Milanese.

6 whole garlic cloves, skinned & chopped 1 large red pepper seeded and chopped I bunch of fresh basil 1 teaspoon of celery salt 2 chicken stock cubes crumbled To finish Juice from two whole lemons 200g buffalo mozzarella cheese Salt and pepper, to taste 1) Cut the gristly bits off the chicken and flatten. Pre-heat fan oven to 200°C, or in a conventional oven at 220°C. 2) Take three shallow bowls, put the flour

Tip: Use kitchen scissors for trimming chicken, it is a lot easier than using a knife and less hazardous.

Tip: Flatten the chicken breasts with an empty or unopened bottle of wine to avoid the risk of contaminating a wooden rolling pin with salmonella bacteria. Likewise use polythene chopping boards.

in the first, the beaten egg in the second add the garlic puree and stir until completely mixed, add the breadcrumbs to the third bowl.

3) Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour until they are fully coated, then likewise in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.

4) Put the olive oil into a baking tin or dish and make sure the chicken breasts are completely coated in the olive oil.

5) Bake for 20-30 minutes until they are completely cooked.

6) Make the sauce, by frying the garlic in olive oil until it is transparent on a medium heat.

7) Add the chopped tomatoes, red pepper, basil, celery salt, and chicken stock.

8) Blend and heat through in a saucepan, add the lemon juice and put to one side.

9) Slice the buffalo mozzarella and place on top of the cooked chicken breasts, put back in the oven and allow the cheese to melt.

10) Place the chicken breasts on plates with the sauce to one side and serve.

Tip: To make sure chicken (or pork) is properly cooked, tap it with the back of a metal spoon, if the resulting sound is soft, the meat will be, if it sounds like tapping wood it is cooked through.

Hint: Place as many of the breasts as possible in each bowl to coat them rather than multi- coating each breast one at a time.

GRAEME TYRRELL MIMICKING nature’s valuable lessons to protect the garden ecology.

If you look at the way nature grows her gardens, you will see that all good soil zones have a complete coverage of the soil with plants. Any area of good soil that has sunlight and some moisture will have plants growing with a complete ground cover. It is natural that the soil is completely covered with plants, plant debris or stones.

In ornamental and vegetable gardens we often design the garden to have big gaps between the plants we are trying to grow that has just bare soil in between. This is quite contrary to nature’s way.

Bare spaces give a satisfaction of us being in control of the garden to do just what we want but it also means that we have a lot of weeding or cultivating to do to keep the soil bare as nature struggles to protect the soil with new plant cover or weeds, which is what we usually call unwanted plants.

With the long, hot Mediterranean summer, the consequence of the unnaturally bare soil exposed directly to the sun is overheating of

Ground covers

NATURE’S WAY: Ground cover plants and mulch will protect your soil. the soil that destroys, at the surface, the living organisms that maintain a living soil.

This overheating in summer and extreme cold exposure in winter on bare soil results in depletion of nutrients. Nitrogen evaporates in high temperatures and the lack of microbial activity to decompose any organic material in the soil will mean little nutrient renewal

Buckingham Palace gardens TODAY, war pensioners and service personnel will have the privileged opportunity to enjoy the gardens at Buckingham Palace as they celebrate their ‘Not Forgotten Association Garden Party.’

This annual event brings together more than 2,000 beneficiaries who will be able to take some inspiration, and perhaps even a naughty cutting, from the flowers and plants that fill the royal gardens.

The royal garden itself is a 40-acre walled oasis and the largest private garden in the city of London.

The central feature is a three-acre lake, but attendees will also be able to marvel at the 156-metre long herbaceous border, the wisteria-clad summerhouse, the

rose garden, and a 4.5-metre high waterloo vase carved from a single piece of marble weighing an estimated 20 tons.

Although the queen has admitted that she’s not an expert gardener, she has said that plants, trees and flowers have been a source of pleasure for her throughout her life.

Some of her favourite flowers can be found throughout the gardens.

In particular, the queen has revealed that her favourite flower is the primrose, and she is also partially fond of wildflowers.

If you’d like to enjoy the royal gardens then you can do so. Access to the gardens is included in the Buckingham Palace tours.

through natural processes.

The short term result can be improved nutrient release as the orga nic mic roorga nis ms die , but long term the soil will become just a mineral soil with little organic content. The soil will become less fertile and unable to grow most plants that need high organic content. Mediterranean soils are normally low in organic content be-

cause of the hot summers.

This can be overcome with the addition of organic fertiliser, but if you want to reduce your workload in the garden you can adopt ground covers to make gardening easier.

Ground cover can be a mulch of organic materials such as compost, straw, leaves, chipped wood or even inorganic stones laid on the surface of the soil to protect it.

An even better way however is to design the garden to incorporate ground cover plants that will grow and spread out over the soil to protect it and naturally supply additional plant debris to the soil.

A well chosen ground cover will spread out over the soil to insulate, suppress many weeds, preserve moisture and add more life and colour to a garden. In small gardens that will fill up every inch or centimetre of the garden around their taller companions.

A tree can be highlighted by being surrounded by a flowering or lush green ground cover. Shrub bed bushes can be tied in wonderfully with a well selected ground cover planting.

There are so many different plants that can be used as ground cover. Any trailing or spreading plant that does not grow upright but tends to grow horizontally can be used. Creeping or spreading succulents make excellent ground covers where watering is kept to a minimum.

It is best to use ground covers with similar watering and soil needs to their companions in the garden. This is how nature makes her gardens.

The Puente Romano did put on a spectacular event: sake barrels were smashed with wooden hammers; delicious food was plentiful, great music and everyone so happy! I

have to say that although this type of event isn’t usually “my thing” I did feel very privileged to be part of this iconic moment for Marbella.

I DON’T think I’ve ever seen so many Press at a press conference as for the opening of the new Nobu Hotel in the Puente Romano complex recently.

One would have to think this is because the Hollywood actor Robert De Niro is a partner in this venture and he personally came to be present at the very prestigious inauguration ceremony.

Even though not allowed to ask questions about his acting career, most questions were directed at the actor who took quite a while to warm up to the crowd.

I was particularly tickled when a Spanish lady reporter asked if Robert would prefer sake with friends or a glass of red wine with a

this is so far from the case with Daniel Shamoon, that one can only but feel proud of this young man!

I was privy to the ‘update’ of El Corte Inglés when faced with crisis and a need to keep up with the times. Little by little their own production facilities were closed and the premium space that the department stores command was sublet to the most prestigious brands.

Guaranteed income for El Corte Inglés and all those major brands promoting their stores at no cost to them! A resounding success!

This seems to be a similar strategy for the very dramatic changes and updates in the Hotel Puente Romano. Little by little they have replaced their own venues to house some of THE most emblematic culinary names worldwide; starting off with Marbella’s own Michelin star chef Dani Garcia.

Today the Monkey Club and Nobu Restaurant & Hotel also call Puente Romano ‘home’ and with all the other tasty offers at the resort, is certainly a place to go to, even if next time, Robert de Niro might not be coming.

With the opening of its very own water park offering 3,000 square metres of outdoor water fun complete with water games, slides, tubes and pirate ship, the Hotel Los Patos Park in Benalmadena has now upped its game in catering for families wanting a great location to entertain both younger and older children.

With all-inclusive options available, they can eat and drink as much as they like and the pirate-themed mini club will allow parents to be able to relax for a few hours. The Hotel Los Patos Park is currently advertising

For those looking for something different to just a hotel break by the coast, why not truly delight the children with a stay in a tree house. The Mari Cruz Agroturismo, in the municipality of Villanueva de Arce, is a true adventure for those who are looking for a trip away and to introduce the little ones to nature. There are rural houses and even a tree house to stay in and you can spend the days feeding the farm animals and attending workshops such as making pizzas and jams from the produce grown on the farm. There is also a playroom and library with books and games for children. Prices for a stay in the tree house start from €80 per couple and €15 per child.

YOUR relationship with your dog is special. You are responsible for its care and welfare. Eventually there comes a most difficult life or death decision for the welfare of the animal and for you and your family.

The decision is a personal one but it need not be a solitary one. Your vet and your family and friends can assist and support you. Consider not only what is best for your dog, but also what is best for you and your family. Quality

Saying goodbye of life is important for pets and people alike.

If your dog can no longer enjoy the things which once gave it pleasure, or if there is more pain than quality in its life, if your dog is terminally ill or critically injured, or if the financial or emotional cost of treatment is beyond your means, euthanasia may be the only option.

It also might be necessary if a dog has become vicious, dangerous, or unmanageable, but remember some undesir-

able and abnormal behaviour can be changed with a qualified behaviourist.

Economic and emotional problems together with changes in lifestyle may also force an owner to consider euthanasia of a dog. Obviously it is better to find another solution or an alternative home for these pets.

Your vet understands attachment to pets and can examine and evaluate your dog’s condition, estimate your dog’s chances for recovery,

Pet care with minimal stress ENSURING pets stay happy and stress free Keeping pets at home when you need to go away is a big consideration, especially if your pets are young or old. Having multiple pets together at home can minimise their stress levels and separation anxiety. It is usually considered a less disruptive option minimising any stress the animals might experience. So finding a good petsitter or house-sitter to live in when you are away is a good solution and helps you maintain your property too.

Is it safe?

discuss potential disabilities and long-term problems, explain the medical options and possible outcomes. But he cannot make the euthanasia decision for you.

It is very important that you fully understand your dog’s condition. If there is any part of the diagnosis or the implications for your dog’s future that you don’t understand, ask to have it explained again.

Rarely will the situation require an immediate decision.

Usually, there will be time to review the facts.

Eventually you may wish to discuss the disposal of your dog’s body with your family and vet. You have several options and your vet can provide information about burial, cremation or other alternatives.

Discuss with the family what the vet has said. Longterm medical care could be a burden, either emotionally or financially. Encourage family members to express their thoughts and feelings. Even if you have reached a decision, family members, especially children, should have their feelings considered.

Children have special relationships with their pets. Excluding or protecting children from this decision-making process, because they are thought to be too young to

FOND FAREWELL: Choosing to euthanise your dog is not easy. understand, may only complicate their grieving. Children respect straightforward, truthful, and simple answers. If they are prepared adequately, they are usually able to accept a dog’s death.

Euthanasia is almost always accomplished by injection of a death-inducing drug.

Your vet may administer a tranquilliser first to relax your dog. Following the death-inducing injection, your dog will immediately go into a quiet and irreversible deep unconsciousness. Death will come quickly and painlessly.

The act of saying goodbye is an important step in managing the natural and healthy feelings of grief, sorrow, and sense of loss. Your dog is an important part of your life and

it is natural to feel you are losing a friend.

Once the decision for euthanasia has been made, you and other family members may want to say goodbye to your dog. A last evening with your dog at home or a visit to the dog at the hospital may be appropriate. Family members who want to be alone with the animal should be allowed to do so. Farewells are always difficult.

After your dog has died, it is natural and normal to feel grief and sorrow. The grieving process includes accepting the reality of your loss, accepting that the loss and accompanying feelings are painful, and adjusting to your new life that no longer includes your dog.

We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice.

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 rehoming, please call 653 257 875.

Most new cars that are produced would not usually make any real noise, so the sound they make is artificially generated through speakers.

A rolling Jaguar Etype gathers no Moss STIRLING WORK: Sir Stirling Moss drove the car in the Manx Mountain Challenge.

A 1965 JAGUAR E-type raced

by Sir Stirling Moss is shortly to be auctioned, and is expected to sell for between €125,000 and €150,000.

Although Moss started his career as a Jaguar works driver,

with successes in XK120s and C-types, he never competed in an Etype during its heyday.

The car being auctioned started life as a standard E-type

Roadster and was converted to a road-legal racer by marque specialist Jeremy Broad in the 1980’s. It was loaned to Sir Stirling Moss in 1991 to compete in the Manx Mountain Challenge, in the process becoming the first E-type that Moss drove competitively.

Auction House H&H Classics, which is selling the car at RAC Woodcote Park near Epsom, Surrey, says the car features many original components, including an aluminium bonnet fabricated

by Abbey Panels. It also has a 4.2

litre version of the classic Jaguar XK straight-six engine, which powered the Coventry cars from 1949 to 1992, driving through a five-speed Getrag gearbox.

The car was later raced by Le Mans and touring car legend Win Percy, who qualified third in the special 40th anniversary race for E-types at Donington Park in 2001.Among the 54 other lo creation of the famed 1973 BMW CSL touring car racer, nicknamed the Batmobile due to its outrageous wings and bulbous bodywork.

LEWIS HAMILTON could sensationally quit Formula 1 in 2020, according to commentator and former F1 driver, David Coulthard.

Hamilton’s current contract expires at the end of the year but soon he is expected to pen a lucrative two-year extension.

That would take him to the end of the 2020 season, which will align with when Liberty Media are planning to make vast changes to the sport in a bid to make it more competitive.

Coulthard thinks Hamilton, who would be 35 years old then, could call time on his racing career to focus on releasing his first music album.

“I think it’s got to be on his mind,” Coulthard said on BBC Radio 2’s Graham Norton Show on Saturday.

“I think he’ll go to 2020 which is the end of the current Concorde agreement, but beyond that

there is every likelihood he will be releasing his first album.”

Hamilton is currently leading the Driver’s Championship this season as he searches for his fifth world title.

Asked who he felt may be in line to take Hamilton’s place at Mercedes, Coulthard suggested reigning GP3 champion George Russell.

“He’s with Mercedes as a reserve driver, so he wouldn’t be known internationally,” Coulthard said.

“But he’s certainly someone that has got skills, talent and potential.”

JAMA ADEN, the controversial Somali athletics coach with links to Mo Farah, is set to stand trial in Spain for antidoping offences.

He could face up to four and a half years in jail if found guilty and Spanish authorities are pressing ahead with a case against Aden after a lengthy investigation.

The coach, whose star student is multiple world-record holder Genzebe Dibaba, was arrested in Sabadell, Cataluña in June 2016 after months of surveillance.

At the time he was escorted to the Arrahona hotel, where he and his training group were based, and vials of EPO were allegedly found as well as 19 syringes said to be preloaded and ready to use.

A physiotherapist was also arrested, but none of the athletes present, around 30, were

Ron Garrood THE Marbella Club’s chosen golf course designer, Dave Thomas reached two Open play offs and was a regular member of the Ryder Cup team. His golf course architecture and design can be found on over 100 courses around the world including the PGA National course and The Belfry.

The picturesque first hole typifies the quality of the course’s design with beautifully contoured fairways and immaculate fast greens.

The 18 holes measure in excess of 6,000 metres and comprise water features and demanding bunkers, a trademark of the course designer, encouraging players to search for the most advantageous approach shot.

Bermuda 419 grass has been utilised on the fairways and tees, a blend of three grasses on the ante greens with a relatively new strain of American grass on the greens.

The computer controlled irrigation system, alongside the latest in fairway moulding and contouring techniques allows for the course to be maintained in impeccable condition for year-round play.

The tee on the seventh is the highest point on the course and provides a panoramic view of the coastline, Gibraltar and across to Africa.

Combining length with clever placement of bunkers and water hazards plus intriguing green designs, the par 73 course culminates in one of the most dramatic 18th tees in Europe.

One of many elevated tees, the par five, reachable in two for some pros, is a memorable final hole. To book two players inc. shared buggy with CostaLessGolf for only 160.00€ valid until 15/09/18, call: +34 952 661 849 or email: enquiries@costaless golf.com today.

They will assert that the trainer did provide the athletes with substances prohibited in sport in Spain, and ‘medicines that did not have the administrative authorisation’ to be marketed in the country, making them ‘absolutely clandestine.’

The scenario will draw unwanted attention to Farah, and Aden was described by British athletics as an ‘unofficial facilitator’ for him when Farah trained in Ethiopia in 2015.

The Athletics Integrity Unit said in a statement on Saturday: “The AIU has been in close contact with the Spanish authorities from the outset of this matter.

“We will continue to monitor the proceedings and take any action necessary to protect the integrity of athletics.”

Karius heading for trouble LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Loris Karius was referred to medical specialists in Boston after contacting the club while on holiday in the United States.

The 24-year-old German visited Massachusetts General Hospital and was diagnosed with concussion five days after the Champions League final.

Karius made dreadful errors for the first and third goals that his side conceded in the 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid on May 26.

Dr Ross Zafonte said it was ‘possible’ the injury ‘would affect performance.’

Shortly before his mistake for Real’s opening goal, Karius collided with Spanish defender, Sergio Ramos, but doctors have not confirmed whether that was the cause of the concussion.

Karius appeared to show no signs of injury and did not request treatment during the game in Kiev, Ukraine.

Minutes after the collision, the German threw the ball into the path of Real striker, Karim Benzema, who stuck out his leg and scored.

Real’s third goal came when Karius let a speculative longrange shot by forward Gareth Bale slip through his hands.

Dr Zafonte, who is a leading expert in head injuries in the NFL, said Karius’ assessment involved reviewing footage of the game, a physical examination, and objective metrics.

Dr Willie Stewart, a consultant neuropathologist at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, said: “The obvious signs of concussion can take hours and days to develop, so it’s not surprising that it might be picked up after the match.”

Since that triumph Fury has admitted to taking drugs, binge drinking and going to sleep hoping he wouldn’t wake up.

He relinquished his titles and tested positive for a banned steroid, something he blamed on eating uncastrated wild boar.

DENMARK’S Thorbjorn Olesen won a fifth European Tour title with a one-shot victory at the Italian Open in Brescia.

The 28-year-old world number 129 began the final day one shot off the lead but carded seven birdies in a bogey-free 64 to finish on 22 under.

Italian Francesco Molinari, winner last week at the PGA at Wentworth, started the round level with Olesen and birdied the last for a 65 to finish second.

Overnight leader Lee Slattery was third after a closing 67, and his caddie had to retire on the back nine through injury.

Molinari, twice an Italian Open champion, made four successive birdies from the 13th hole and was tied for the lead before hitting a bunker on the 17th and dropping a shot.

However, he holed a huge 30-foot putt up the hill on the final green for birdie to huge cheers from the gallery, setting a target of 21 under.

MANCHESTER CITY boss Pep Guardiola ‘often has problems with Africans’ says ex-Blues midfielder, Yaya Toure.

The Ivorian, who left City in May after eight years at the club, says he

wants to ‘break the myth’ about Guardiola, whom he describes as ‘jealous.’

“Maybe we Africans are not always treated by some in the same way as others,” said Toure in an interview with France Football.

Premier League champions City have declined to comment on Toure’s views but before his departure, the club named one of their training pitches after him and unveiled a mosaic of him there.

To u r e , a n I v o r y C o a s t international, played for Guardiola at Barcelona for two seasons until he was sold to City in 2010 for €27 million.

He won six major trophies in England but started just one Premier League game in City’s latest titlewinning campaign, their final home fixture of the season against Brighton.

BEST OF ENEMIES: The relationship between the two is at a new low.

Toure believes that playing only 142 minutes in the league this season prior to the Brighton game was ‘not down to physics.’
