Kill claim
MURDER TRIAL: A jury at Malaga’s Ciudad de la Justicia, heard that James Quinn, left, shot Gary Hutch ’15 times.’
by Matt Ford AN alleged contract killer accused of gunning down an Irish gang member on the Costa del Sol has claimed he was lying hung-over in bed with a prostitute when the assassination took place. Prosecutors say that Irishman James Quinn donned a balaclava before lying in wait for more than two hours in the car park of a gated housing estate in Mi-
raflores, near Fuengirola, after being dropped off by tw o u n id e n tified a c c omplices. But the father-of-one has denied shooting Gary
Hutch, then 34, twice in the head at point-blank range after chasing him round a swimming pool.

Water torture By Matt Ford A BRITISH mum who almost lost her leg after a waterslide accident saw the limb infected with flesh-eating bugs is suing a Benidorm hotel. Helen Priestly, 42, cut her leg in two places and was twice forced to have surgery. And the mother-of-one from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, has filed charges against the hotel for its ‘death trap’ chute as she battles to get it shut down. She said: “The slide I was on is a potential death trap. It’s only a matter of time before an adult or child is seriously injured on it.” The incident came after she forked out more than €950 on a four-star break in the Costa Blanca resort with husband Leon, 40, and 15-year-old daughter Danielle. Helen rode on the slide without knowing that someone had
broken their leg on it earlier the same day. She explained: “I didn’t stand a chance really as the gap to go through wasn’t really big enough to get through. “The water current was really strong and it slammed me into the opening. I was in agony.” After fighting against the flow to get off the attraction she realised how badly she was hurt. “I started nearly passing out from the shock and blood loss. I had a big massive hole in my leg like an indent,” she added. An ambulance took her to a private hospital where medics x-rayed the leg and put her on an IV drip before letting her go. The hotel refused to cover the cost of a wheelchair, leaving the family to pay, and they were not visited by a rep for two days. She continued: “I was in constant pain but they wouldn’t help us at all from then on. I was in intense pain and couldn’t
wait to get home.” But things took a turn for the worse six weeks after they arrived home, when she was admitted to the Rochdale Infirmary in massive pain before being diagnosed with necrotising fasciitis, commonly known as flesh-eating disease. She said: “A cloudy, milky liquid was pouring out of my
leg, it was disgusting. “One time I woke up and my bed was soaking from all the liquid and it was so bad the nurse thought I had spilled a glass of water on the sheets. “But as the poisons were gone I felt a bit better.” Doctors then performed two emergency operations in a bid to save the leg after a transfer to Royal Oldham Hospital, where she was admitted to the high dependency unit. She added: “I actually felt better and had a cup of tea. But then the doctors looked at my leg and said I might lose my leg and told my husband and daughter I could also die. “I was hysterical I couldn’t believe all this had come from a water slide. It was like something out of a horror film. “There were massive holes and gaping wounds in my legs and you could see the bone.” An official from travel opera-

Anty climax for eateries
THE BIG PICTURE Nº 18
SEVERAL restaurants were evacuated after a plague of flying ants invaded the beachfront neighbourhood of La Carihuela in Torremolinos. Tens of thousands of the winged pests - normally common in autumn - descended on eateries, with horrified holidaymakers posting photos and videos of the swarm on social media.
Fare enough? RYANAIR passengers now have only 48 hours to check in before their flight unless they pay to reserve a seat.

SPEARS OF DESTINY: Workers in Caparroso, Navarra.
White gold IT must be collected at night to protect its delicate colour and texture. And the asaparagus dubbed ‘white gold’ is now being harvested by temporary workers in northern Spain. Within a few hours of being picked, the delicacy is either sold in local markets or boiled and placed into tins or jars, otherwise its high water content - considered critical to its distinct flavour - can be lost. And if exposed to the sun, the pricey veg can quickly turn purple. Those responsible for picking it must move quickly, and a dozen people can harvest up to 1.5 tonnes in a single night. And there is another reason for their haste, since
salaries for the seasonal workers, here pictured in Caparroso, Navarra, are partly based on the amount they collect. The region’s climate, comprised of cold winter and spring nights, is said to be ideal for producing top quality asparagus, which receives a special label of geographical origin under European rules. A kilo typically sells for €2.90 if bought directly from farmers, with the price doubling or tripling in food markets elsewhere. Locals eat the asparagus by holding it with two fingers upside down above the head and lowering it slowly into the mouth.

Cop sex probe THE head of the Local Police of Estepona has spoken out about the alleged sexual assault of a woman committed by two of his officers. Alfredo Torres said the two men had been on duty for 24 hours prior to the assault but were not in their work hours when it was said to have taken place. The officers, aged 37 and 38, were arrested and later charged with sexual assault, making threats and drugs crimes.
Demonstrations were held in Estepona on Tuesday outside the Local Police station. They were organised by the Peñas Blancas Women and the Feminist Platform of Estepona and they saw protesters rally against the ‘patriarchal system.’ They also demanded that the alleged victim not be brought to trial should the two officers be acquitted. Organisers said they would stage further protests which have been scheduled for the first Friday of every month.

RED LETTER DAY: The recovered document and (inset) a depiction of Columbus’ 1492 landing in the Americas.
The right note A 500-YEAR-OLD letter written by Christopher Columbus has been returned to Spain by the United States. It comes after a seven-year international probe which reached as far afield as Paris and Brasilia. Written in 1493 and addressed to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, the letter describes the notorious explorer’s discoveries in the New World. It was among 16 original copies, of which several were stolen from Barcelona’s National Library of Cataluña archives in 2004 and 2005. They were replaced with forgeries, but the switch was only discovered in 2011 when experts received a tip off about the plot from an informant. Spain’s US ambassador described the repatriation of the letter as ‘a showcase of the ties that bind the United States and Spain together’ when receiving it during a ceremony in Washington, DC. “We are truly honoured to return this historically important document back to Spain, its rightful owner,” US Attorney David Weiss added. The letter was a manual copy of the original, written in Spanish to the monarchs who paid for his journey to the Americas.
It covers the people, landscape and wealth that the navigator found between his August 1492 departure from Puerto de Palos in Huelva, Spain, and return to Lisbon in March 1493, seven months later. It was at the time translated into Latin before being sent to kings and queens across Europe. Investigators said the document was sold by two Italian book dealers for €600,000 in 2005, before a Brazilian businessman snapped it up for €900,000 in 2011. And it is believed they were alerted to the scam by an expert employed by the latest owner to check its authenticity. An agent was then dispatched to Spain to check that the archived version was a fake, sparking a joint enquiry by US Homeland Security Investigations, a division of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), and the Department of Justice. The unnamed owner reportedly agreed to hand the letter over after being contacted by the authorities. ICE said in a statement that it has recovered 11,000 stolen artefacts from 30 countries since 2007, and that a second copy of the same letter was in 2016 returned to Italy.

HE was Britain’s most famous nightclub owner. And tributes have poured in for Peter Stringfellow, who died aged 77 after losing a decade-long lung cancer battle. The self-made millionaire had a long-affiliation with Spain, and in the 1990’s bought a villa near Puerto Portals in Mallorca. He once said of the island: “I liked it immediately. The first thing I did was buy a boat, which
I lived on for around six years before buying the villa.” He listed the property as one of the five things he couldn’t do without in a 2013 interview, but last year put it up for sale before buying land in southern Italy to be closer to his half-Italian wife Bella’s family. At the time he said: “The area’s probably like Mallorca was 20-odd years ago. It’s incredible value, the land is incredibly easy to buy and you can build a lot cheaper than anywhere else.”

Video footage posted online shows Pique shaking hands with the royal before explaining that his mum and dad were unharmed and that no arrests had been made.

‘I felt like a criminal’ By Staff Reporter A BRITISH mum who was blocked from flying to Spain with her threeyear-old daughter has spoken out over her treatment by airport workers. Beauty technician Hayley Lewis, 28, was forced to pay €545 for a new passport after airline staff thought her existing one had been ripped to hide travel to ‘suspicious’ countries. She was escorted from Bristol Airport after being barred from her Menorca flight despite daughter Sydney already having boarded with her grandmother. Hayley claims Sydney tore the passport by accident, and slammed the TUI staff as she said: “They treated me like I was a drug smuggler - I felt like a criminal. It was obvious I was taking my daughter on holiday. “It’s horrible, I missed my daughter’s first flight. It ruined our holiday. “I broke down in tears, my daughter was already on the plane with my mum. “I phoned my mum and told her to stay on the plane because I assumed I would be on the next flight. “Then someone came and walked me downstairs and said there was nothing they could do and escorted me off the premises.

A TUI official said: “We’re sorry to
hear Miss Lewis was refused travel on this occasion, however, this is due to the fact that a page had been severely torn from her passport. “Our check in teams have a responsibility to ensure customers have the correct documentation for travel and that there are no signs of damage. “To prevent any issues occurring we would advise all customers to check their documentation is in good condition before travel.”

OAP jail fugitive arrested A DRUG-DEALING pensioner who walked out of an open prison and fled to Spain to be with his sick wife has been caught. Patrick Duffy, 69, who was serving 56 months for peddling cannabis, escaped from HMP Hewell in Worcestershire and hitch-hiked to Alicante before spending seven months at large with his wife of 50 years. He later admitted absconding from lawful custody after appearing at Worcester Crown Court via video link from the same prison he ran away from. He had been remanded in custody by a Spanish court and spent 84 days in a Spanish jail before being extradited to the UK after being held on a European Arrest Warrant in January. At the end of the hearing the judge said: “I accept this was not a sophisticated escape. There was no violence involved. “This period of incarceration was the first time you had been apart. I accept it would have been difficult for both of you. “I accept your wife was facing great difficulties but you must understand that there’s no excuse for escaping from custody.”

‘I was in bed’ GUNNED DOWN: Witnesses say the killer chased Hutch around the community pool before shooting him twice in the head.
From Front Page The brutal hit on September 24, 2015 triggered a feud between rival crime families that has claimed at least 15 lives in Ireland and Spain. Early in the hearing at a Malaga’s Ciudad de la Justicia court Dubliner Quinn told the jury of five women and four men: “I flew back to Spain from Dubai a couple of days earlier to attend a wedding. “The morning of September 24 I was in bed with a hangover and a prostitute.” When quizzed about the woman’s name by state prosecutor Jose Barba he replied: “I didn’t know her personally.” Mr Barba had earlier described the assault as a “surprise attack,” explaining that investigators found the dead man’s car door open with his keys on the ground near his left hand. “Quinn fired off some 15 shots as he chased his victim and they ran round the community swimming pool twice,” he said in his opening address. “Some entered the victim’s back and he fell on the ground with no chance of defending himself before the accused finished
him off from close range with two shots to the head.” The jury then heard that a baseball cap the accused swapped for his balaclava had been critical to identifying him. Quinn later shook his head when shown the charred remains of garments recovered from his ‘getaway car,’ a BMW X3 stolen from Mijas and later found torched near Marbella. Jurors were allowed to touch the clothes before inspecting the cap, which prosecutors say survived the blaze. DNA found on the cap was matched to Quinn after undercover detectives snatched a bottle of water he drank from on a high-speed train while he was under surveillance in the wake of the execution. Pedro Apalategui, defending, said: “The fact Gary Hutch suffered a violent death is not up for debate. The question is who killed him. I say it wasn’t my client.” He went on to question how police had found the ‘practically new’ cap inside a gutted vehicle, insisting that it had never been mentioned before investigators
obtained the DNA sample. Two unlicensed guns allegedly used in the killing, a 9mm Glock 26 semi-automatic pistol and .45 semiautomatic Colt 1911 pistol, were found during a raid on his Benahavis home. A witness, named only as Jose and speaking from behind a half-open door, told jurors: “I heard a loud noise and raced to the terrace and saw two men running round the swimming pool. “I thought they were playing at first but then I saw one had a pistol in his hand and I realised it was something else. “They reached a point where the victim had no way out and had to stop. He put his hands up and said ‘no, no, no’ and then I heard two shots and saw him fall to the ground. “The killer had a black balaclava and black gloves on.” Quinn could be handed only the second life sentence issued in Spain for 40 years if found guilty of murder, while he also faces an additional three-year jail term for illegal weapons possession. The trial is set to conclude today (Thursday).

Royal rumble King panned ahead of US visit By Staff Reporter THE King of Spain has been slammed after attending a bullfight. Felipe VI attended Madrid’s San Isidro Fair as guest of honour as animal rights campaigners branded the annual event ‘animal abuse.’ The monarch watched matadors Manuel Escribano, Paco Ureña and Emilio de Justo take on bulls at the flagship Corrida de la Prensa series of fights, and was handed a standing ovation by
the large crowd. But campaigners took to social media to criticise his decision, with one tweet describing the show as ‘bloody and bloodthirsty.’ Another wrote: ‘It sickens me that the Spanish King supports this terrible sport.’ Although traditionally attended by the reigning monarch, it was Felipe’s first showing at the fair, after prior engagements stopped him appearing in 2016 and 2017. But unlike his father and former King Juan Carlos I -
who once described bullfighting as a ‘Spanish asset that we have to support’ - the 50-yearold is not thought to be a fan of the tradition. It comes amid new calls to ban the custom after a matador who specialised in leaping over the charging animals was last weekend gored to death while trying to rescue a friend at an event in Paiporta, Valencia. And the royal family suffered further controversy after a court in Palma de Mallorca gave Felipe’s brother-in-law Inaki Urdangarin five days to turn himself in after Spain’s Supreme Court ruled he must

A DRUGS gang who smuggled drugs bought in Spain into a high-security prison using a drone has been jailed for a total of 31 years. It comes after Darren Dunn, Daniel White, Steven Roberts, Christopher Paul, Anthony Redmond and Michael Madden were convicted at Manchester Crown Court. The court heard how Roberts flew to Barcelona to purchase cannabis before being joined by Redmond and Madden. The trio stayed in touch with Dunn, who was in prison at the time, throughout the trip. A week later, Roberts flew back while his accomplices drove the drugs to Manchester after taking a ferry to the UK. Dunn then contacted White and an-
other man, Sean Tierney, who drove to a car park near HMP Forest Bank, Salford, from where they piloted a drone into the prison. Roberts and Redmond later made a second trip to Spain, returning with more of the drug. But on this occasion Tierney was spotted by police officers as he was assembling the robot near the facility’s exterior wall, although he managed to escape and alert Dunn after the alarm was raised. He was held the next day after investigators found his bag dumped with the drone, socks stuffed with €3,000-worth of cannabis and mobile phones inside.
They then travel to San Antonio, Texas before being received by Trump at the White House in Washington DC next Tuesday. The king and queen are being accompanied by Spain’s new Foreign Minister Josep Borrell.
The cartel was later placed under surveillance and Roberts was seen exchanging £2,500 into Euros before again flying to Barcelona trailed by Madden and Roberts in their car. ON their return, they were stopped by UK Border Force Officers who discovered bags of cannabis stowed in the boot and spare wheel well. Detective Sergeant Colin Shackleton of GMP’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit, said: “Their well-oiled plan was brought to an abrupt end when the drugs were discovered in their car. “They thought they could outsmart officers by crossing borders to obtain the drugs, but we’ve shown we’ve got the experience and skill to bring organised criminals like this to justice.”

Death probe rally by Joe Gerrard
RALLY: ‘We are all Lucia’ protestors previously rallied in Malaga last month.
DOZENS of protestors have gathered outside the Courts of Malaga City complex for a demonstration on the ongoing probe into the death of toddler Lucia Vivar. Protestors chanted: “We are all Lucia,” “We demand justice,” and “No one thinks it was the train,” referring to the three-year-old’s death on a rail line near Pizarra in Malaga Province. Those rallying outside the court house were accompanied by the girl’s parents,
Antonio Vivar and Almudena Hidalgo. Vivar said he and the twoyear-old’s mother felt “helpless” in the face of the ongoing investigation into their daughter’s death. Lucia’s body was discovered more than four kilometres away from Pizarra train station by the railway the morning after she was reported missing last July. Police maintain the threeyear-old walked the 4.2 kilometres and before an oncoming train hit her. Her parents
have questioned the theory. They also asked police to investigate a bottle of chloroform reportedly found about 700 metres away from where she disappeared. Police said they found no connection between that and her death. The judge overseeing the probe has spent the last months weighing up whether or not to shelve the investigation due to the lack of evidence. The justice is reportedly yet to make a final decision.

PLASTIC BEACH: Mallorca locals slammed tourists leaving rubbish on the beach.
Stink ‘n’ swim Locals slam ‘disgusting’ tourists by Jay Emeny MALLORCA locals have slammed the ‘disgusting’ state of the island’s most famous beach. The four-mile Playa de Palma was shown to be far from an idyllic paradise in viral video footage posted on social media that claimed to show the ‘truth’ about the area. The clip - which has been viewed more than 70,000 times - shows drunken holidaymakers sprawled on the beach, drinking and smoking surrounded by rubbish both on the sand and promenade. Cans, bottles and plastic are strewn across the ground in a zone described in brochures as ‘the perfect place for families.’
The Facebook group which posted the video, Mallorquins fins els ous de satuación (‘Mallorcans want an end to saturation’), aims to keep track of rowdy behaviour on the island, and its members claim that authorities are failing to tackle anti-social behaviour despite fines being threatened to anyone who litters, causes noise or disturbances or behaves drunkenly in public spaces.

Footy sex claim Brit players quizzed over alleged assault by Matt Ford TWO British footballers have been held on suspicion of sexual assault in Ibiza. Believed to play professionally for a ‘second division’ London side, the unnamed pair were arrested at a Cala de Bou hotel near the party resort of San Antonio after a teenager on holiday with her parents filed a complaint. She was examined by medics before a judge ordered officers from the Family and Womens’ Unit of the National Police to arrest those accused. The victim, 19 and also British, was allegedly invited back to a hotel where the suspects were staying with teammates alongside a friend after they met at a bar during a night out. Local media reports suggest that two players sexually assaulted one of the women while a third - who has not
yet been held but is being sought by detectives - recorded the incident on his mobile phone. It remains unclear whether the victim has accused the
men of rape, or if the pair have been freed after being quizzed at a police station ahead of an expected court appearance as the probe continues.

by Matt Ford A COSTA DEL SOL drugs lord has been captured during a major antidrugs operation in La Linea de la Concepcion, Cadiz. Around 100 armed officers were involved in the swoop, with Antonio Tejon Castaño, the younger of two notorious siblings known as the ‘Castaña brothers’ cuffed as he visited Patricia Parody Cano, the mother of his two children. Earlier raids had seen him escape by fleeing over rooftops in the La Atunara neighbourhood, a drug trafficking stronghold. A police source confirmed: “The meetings between them were always brief and organised through third parties with heavy security measures.” The Castaña brothers are known as the ‘kings of narco’ in the Campo de Gibraltar area, and the arrest is seen as a coup for drugs police, who on this occasion received help from a Costa del Sol-based special response team dubbed The Greek Brigade.

The vehicles’ locks would be forced in such a way that they could be resealed by gang members, allowing the illegal immigrants to steal inside while the drivers slept at service stations or the ports themselves. A second tactic employed by the traffickers saw Spanish motor home drivers paid to hide the migrants in their vehicles before
driving to Calais and entering the UK via the Channel Tunnel or by ferry to Dover. The latter ploy was foiled three times by border forces in England and Spain. The Albanian crime boss had himself unsuccessfully tried to enter the UK on eight separate occasions. Two migrants were found at his home during the swoop, with

Sex pest bus driver held A SPANISH bus driver has been held and charged with dangerous driving after allegedly pleasuring himself while at the wheel. The sordid incident took place in Valencia, with the 60-yearold’s arrest coming after a young woman filed a complaint. According to a police statement, she sat in a seat to the suspect’s right after getting on the packed local service, and immediately saw him leering at her through his rear-view mirror. She then realised he had his trousers undone and was performing a sex act on himself, before catching sight of his manhood as he ‘brazenly rubbed it back and forth.’ The horrified victim rang the bell and got off the bus at the next stop before reporting her sickening experience. Investigators contacted public transport firm EMT, with the culprit identified in the wake of a short internal probe. It is believed he has been freed ahead of an upcoming court appearance.

Migrant crisis THE Spanish government allowed a ship carrying more than 600 migrants to dock in Valencia after both Italy and Malta refused its entry. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez had ‘given instructions for Spain to comply with its international commitments in matters of humanitarian crises’ according to a Moncloa statement. Italy’s new Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said “saving lives is a duty, turning Italy into a huge refugee camp is not. ‘Italy is done bending over backwards and obeying - this time THERE IS SOMEONE WHO SAYS NO,’ he wrote on Twitter. He suggested that Malta should accept the Aquarius, but it refused arguing that it fell under Italy’s jurisdiction. Mr Salvini, leader of the right-wing League party, promised to take a tough stance against migration and has also said he was considering taking action against organisations that rescue migrants at sea. He has accused them of working with peoplesmugglers. “Malta takes in nobody,” he added. “France pushes people back at the border, Spain defends its frontier with weapons.”

Spain takes in ship refused by Italy and Malta
DENIED: Italy refused to allow the Aquarius to dock. Mr Malvini said it was time for Italy to “say no to human trafficking.” The ship was carrying 629 people on board. According to reports there were 123 unaccompanied minors, 11 younger children and seven pregnant women as well as 15 others with serious chemical burns. The humanitarian group Medicos Sin Fronteras initially refused to make the trip to Spain as they were concerned over food supplies. The migrants were then split onto a further two boats, with Italy providing food
and water for the three-day trip to Valencia. Both the mayor of Barcelona and the mayor of Valencia offered their cities to take in the ship, with the latter being the end destination for the Aquarius’ 1,300km journey. This comes after Spain’s maritime rescue service launched a huge operation to save 334 migrants - four of which died - in the Mediterranean Sea. The migrants were crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Africa in nine different boats.

Chief minister speaks at UN By Joe Gerrard GIBRALTAR’S chief minister said he was ready to work with the new Spanish government but added he would not stray from his position on sovereignty at the United Nations (UN) yesterday. Fabian Picardo was speaking before the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonisation at the UN headquarters in New York City. The Committee meets every 12 months to discuss the British enclave’s status. The Spanish envoy to the committee called for further talks with Britain on sharing
sovereignty over the territory. Britain did not send a representative to the meeting. Picardo said authorities on The Rock would not deviate from their position that Gibraltar would “never” be Spanish. He added he was willing to reach out to Pedro Sanchez’s new Partido Socialista (PSOE) government and that he wanted a positive relationship based on co-operation with Spain. “We sincerely trust that the political change in Madrid may allow the space for future co-operation. In that respect, the ball is in their court,” he said. “We remain ready to work together in the mutual interest and to the mutual benefit of our people,” he said. The chief minister also called on Committee representatives to visit Gibraltar in order to see its “modern reality” for themselves. Francisca Pedros, Spain’s envoy to the meeting, said
TALKS: Diplomats met at the UN in New York City to talk about Gibraltar’s status. Gibraltar was the only colony left on the European continent and described its governing arrangements as “anachronistic.” “There is no other solution to the Gibraltar dispute than a process of decolonisation negotiated between Spain and the United Kingdom in the terms established by the United Nations,” she said. “Spain has repeatedly invited the United Kingdom, a friendly country, partner and
ally, to fulfil the mandate of the United Nations and negotiate on Gibraltar,” she added. Britain was given a right of reply at the meeting but the country did not send a representative as it maintains the territory is self governing. Picardo and Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Garcia are set to continue meeting with diplomats including Britain’s ambassador to the UN today.

THE PSOE currently has 84 seats in the 350-strong Congress of Deputies and 62 members out of 266 in the Senate. Sanchez struck an agreement with smaller parties such as the far left Podemos and Basque and Catalan nationalists to unseat Rajoy. He will need their support to get laws passed until another election is held, due on or before July 2020.
Congress of Deputies THE Congress of Deputies (Congreso de los Diputados in Spanish) is the lower house of Spain’s Parliament, the Cortes Generales. Deputies cover some 52 multi-member constituencies and are elected to serve four year terms unless snap polls are called. The Plenary of the Congress refers to the meeting of all members for debates and votes. There are also Commissions made up of a smaller number of members to examine legislation and government policy.
Senate THE Senate (Senado in Spanish) is the upper house of parliament. Senators represent each of Spain’s Autonomous Communities or regions, with larger provinces such as Andalucia having more members. A total of 208 of the members are elected to serve four year terms while a further 56 are appointed by regional assemblies. Senators are tasked with debating and voting on legislation, as well as approving some government appointments and members have the power to suspend regional governments.

Political parties Partido Socialista (PSOE) PRIME MINISTER Pedro Sanchez’s party the current ruling party of Spain. It is led by Sanchez and its name in English is the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party. The PSOE is the oldest political party currently active in Spain and it has enjoyed historic ties with the country’s trade unions. It is centre-left and progressive, with a liberal social outlook and a preference on higher public spending and for state intervention in the economy. Podemos PODEMOS translates as ‘We Can’ in English and the party was founded following protests against inequality and corruption. It is headed by Pablo Iglesias, a left-wing academic, and is currently a part of a broader coalition of far-left parties in Parliament known as Unidos Podemos. They have a liberal social outlook and economically they have proposed taking key industries into government ownership and providing citizens with a basic income. Unidos Podemos have 67 seats in the Congress and 20 seats in the Senate. Ciudadanos CIUDADANOS, or Citizens in English, was formed in Cataluña in response to what they claim is the failure of Spain’s two main parties and the rise of Catalan nationalism. It is led by Albert Rivera and rose to become the largest party in the Catalan regional parliament following a snap election this year. They emphasise Spanish unionism, are socially liberal and promote business-friendly policies such as lowering corporation tax and cutting red tape. It has 32 seats in Congress and four in the Senate. Partido Popular (PP) THE party of former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, the name of which means the People’s Party. Rajoy remains the caretaker leader of the party with a new leader due to be elected later this year. Its roots lie in the now defunct Alianz Popular, a conservative party founded by politicians sympathetic to dictator Francisco Franco. The modern day PP is socially conservative and promotes policies friendly to the Catholic Church, and it tends to favour less intervention in the economy. The PP has 134 seats in the Congress and 148 in the Senate. Other parties THERE are several smaller parties in the Spanish Parliament representing a variety of causes and interests. Many of these are part of what is known as the Mixed Group, Deputies and Senators in parties with too few seats to form official groupings. Most represent regions such as Cataluña, the Basque Country, Valencia and the Canary Islands. The regionalist party platforms vary from advocating for more autonomy in the Spanish system to outright independence.

Litter plague CREDIT: Photolib

BAG DROP: Plastic litter is a plague for marine life. A REPORT to mark World Oceans Day has revealed that tourists are causing a 40 per cent spike in marine litter entering the Mediterranean Sea. The vast majority of the waste is plastic, and Turkey and Spain are two of the worst culprits, followed by Italy, Egypt and France, the study by wildlife charity WWF said. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of microplastics are dumped in the sea each year, and wildlife is suffering for it. More than 200 million tourists flock to the Mediterranean each year, including many Britons, and WWF is trying to raise awareness of the problem to holidaymakers. The conservation charity is urging people to bring a bag for life on holiday, and cut down on
face wipes, chewing gum, and straws. While China is the largest plastics producer in the world, Europe is second and the detritus can injure, entrap and kill marine animals. Spain also only recycles 21 per cent of the electronic waste that it produces according to recent figures, placing it well below the European average of 35 per cent. Figures provided by research group Eurostat reveal that of the country’s 930,000 tons of electronic refuse produced per year, only 198,000 are processed. Only Romania and Russia, with rates of 13 per cent and 6 per cent respectively, have a worse record on this issue.

LOYAL SUPPORT: David attended the event organised by close friends. ously donating gift vouchers, the signed football memorabilia and 30 per cent of the ticket price to David’s fund.” Other generous donations included a diamond necklace from Anthony’s Diamonds, gift vouchers from Hotel El Oceano and Nobu Hotel, flower arrangements from Deseos Florist and Love Bracelets from Julie Miles. This fundraising campaign is very close to Hol-
ly’s heart as David has been a family friend for many years. Working as the photographer at her family’s weddings, birthdays and other big events. But it is not just David’s photos which are stunning. He has a personality to match and this is why so many of his friends, family, colleagues, clients and fellow photographers were devastated by the news of his accident two years ago and fully
support his campaign. David was left paralysed after a motorbike accident in July 2016. The freak accident left him as a quadriplegic with major neurological damage to the body. It is still unclear just how much movement and independence David will regain. There are many costs associated with David’s injuries and he needs help towards his longterm care and rehabilitation.

GOOD TIMES: Paul (deceased) with his wife Margaret.
The final curtain FUENGIROLA has lost a fine member of the community with the recent passing of Paul Gold. Paul was widely known in the Fuengirola area for his work as a music arranger and conductor and for his time as owner of the Bavaria Bar which he bought when he and his family arrived in 1990. Paul’s arrival to Fuengirola was a blessing to the coast as he brought with him a lifetime of skills in music and entertainment which he was able to use to keep the holidaymakers and locals in good spirits. Paul was born in London in 1923. He followed in his father’s footsteps and became a musical director in theatres. In fact, he was the youngest ever conductor on the circuit in the city. Before and after the Second World War, he worked in the top dance halls and night clubs in London’s West End. Whilst during the war he was based in Dover with the RAF, initially as an army musician but then as a medic. After leaving London, he went to Calcutta with his touring orchestra where they played in India’s number one venue, Firpos. In those days they worked alongside the big names such as Marilyn Monroe, Danny Kaye, Leonard Cheshire and even Mother Theresa.
Some of the clients at this top venue included Aga Khan, Rita Hayworth, India’s crown princes and international politicians, including Khrushchev from Russia. Following this he became bandmaster on RMS Queen Mary 2 and RMS Mauretania. In 1952, he moved to Ireland to work on the film, The Quiet Man before going to work for Pontins and Pontinental holiday camps in the UK and Spain. In the following years, he continued to travel throughout Europe and entertained US army forces at their bases. Over the years, he was musical director for many pantomimes and worked with a number of top British comedians including Ken Dodd, Hylda Baker and Frank Hyfield. He also had the privileged opportunity to conduct an orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. His decision to move to Fuengirola in 1990 was driven by his passion to use his talents here along the coast. The bar that he and his family bought for a ‘short term’ ended up being a 10year commitment and cemented the family’s connection with the coast. Paul will be dearly missed by his wife, Margaret, his son, Paul, his daughter-in-law, Emmanuelle and his grandchildren, Samuel and Sarah.

By Jay Emeny CALLS to ban donkey taxis in Mijas have hit the headlines again after an animal rights party spoke of its fury. It comes after political group PACMA claimed the animals are tied to ropes little more than 20cm long which restricts their movement when resting. The group added the way the donkeys were being treated was impacting their health, causing hoof and spine damage. “They work 365 days a year and are never allowed to lie down to rest. During the night they sleep tied in small blocks of up to eight animals in 14 square metres while having no room to move or lie down,” the party said in a statement. “During work hours they are tied, sometimes for hours, to metal structures while waiting for potential customers. They have no freedom of movement and cannot meet their own physical needs,” they added. PACMA claimed the treatment of the donkeys violated regional and national animal welfare rules. They have called on Mijas Council to ‘rigorously’ enforce the law and to ban the use of donkeys for taxis in the town. The group added attempts to meet with Mijas authorities have been unsuccessful despite their protests. Angel Nozal, former mayor and leader of the conserv-

Donkey work Cruelty claims trigger fresh ‘taxi’ ban plea
TAKEN FOR A RIDE: The ‘taxis’ are a Mijas tourist institution.
Time and again September 2015: Video of donkey being beaten in Mijas goes viral and leads to a petition. February 2016: Railings installed by Mijas Council to ‘improve’ their conditions following growing pressures. July 2017: Donkeys given rubber shoes and promises of ‘regular veterinary checks.’ August 2017: Former mayor outlines his proposals for donkey care. May 2018: PACMA’s most recent push to ban donkey taxis following video footage of continued mistreatment.

He wants to see the creation of a shelter for abandoned animals in the quarry at El Barrio, as well as a purpose built stables for donkeys pulling taxis in Mijas Pueblo. “The current stables are located in an urban setting where people live and do not meet the sanitary conditions necessary for the animals to be there,” said Nozal. According to Nozal, a 2014 report made it clear that there was a problem with the current arrangements and this will form a major part of the party’s local manifesto for the next election. “The r ef uge wi l l al so ser ve t o l ook af t er t hose donkeys which are too old to continue to serve as taxis wher e t hey can l i ve out their lives. In addition, it could become a tourist attraction in its own right as visitors could see the animals for themselves.” In the wake of recent efforts to lobby Mijas Council, Euro Weekly News urges the Costa del Sol expatriate community to support calls banning donkey taxis. This is not the first time the practice has sparked outrage, with a 2015 video of a handler beating an animal which refused to move leaving animal lovers up in arms and leading to the installation of railings offering greater freedom of movement.

Where do I get the best mortgage deal? Mortgage Expert by Sara
WHEN buying a property in Spain, the first stop for many would be the bank to secure a mortgage. However, dealing directly with a Spanish bank might not be the easiest and best way to secure the best mortgage. Nor just choosing the bank that the real estate agent suggest. “After the financial crisis hit Spain some years ago and the mortgage market collapsed, we have seen a massive restructuring of the Spanish financial sector,” Sara Stannard explains. She works as a British Client Advisor in the specialised expat mortgage broker, Bank in Spain. After a massive closure of branches, layoffs and fusions in the banking sector, we are now back to the number of branches that we saw in the beginning of the 80’s. “But still we have three times as many branches here
as in the UK” she continues. “Ten years ago, it was hard not to get lost in the jungle of banks. We had an enormous amount of different banks, especially savings bank - all with different focus and routines.” Today, after the recent Santander takeover of the Spanish Banco Popular, five big groups currently account for around 80 per cent of the market in Spain. However, when asking for a mortgage bigger is not always better. Bank in Spain currently works with nine different banks in Spain. “We do not have a favourite bank,” Sara says. “It all depends on the client, type of property, location and price. Since the banks are all different - the bank that will be able to offer the best deal for one client might not be the one offering the best deal for the next one.” After many years where the banks were reluctant to offer new mortgages, the situation has now changed. “The competition in Spain is fierce and on many operations, there is a huge gap between the best and worst conditions we have been able to secure,” Sara ends.
NO GO: World leaders met in Canada for the G7 summit last week
Trump calls on G7 to readmit Russia UNITED STATES President Donald Trump has said Russia should have a seat at the table in the G7 summit which began in Charlevoix in Canada last week. The country was expelled from what was then the G8 in 2014 following its invasion and annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. The leaders of the US, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan and EU officials were all in attendance.
Prison record claims OFFICIALS have been destroying paperwork recording the prisoners of Soviet gulags under secret measures passed in 2014, Russian media has claimed. The records of the prison camps, in which an estimated three to 12 million people were kept, were ordered to be disposed of once the people they concern reach 80.
Consulate closes doors BRITAIN has closed down its General Consulate in St Petersberg in the wake of tensions between London and Moscow over
the alleged poisoning of a former Russian spy. Laurie Bristow, the British Ambassador to the country, said it was a “difficult” time for Anglo-Russian relations but added people-to-people links forged by consulate staff would endure.
Syria air strike denial RUSSIA’S Defence Ministry has denied the country’s aircraft bombed the rebel-held Idlib Province in Syria killing at least 44 people. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed Russian warplanes carried out the strike which also left an estimated 60 injured.
Church pagan warning THE head of Russia’s Orthodox Church has claimed the country’s athletes and soldiers are turning away from the faith in favour of ancient pagan beliefs. Patriarch Kirill said church inaction was turning the promotion of a healthy lifestyle into a revival of cultism and added Orthodox officials were alarmed at the level of paganism reported.
Hair of hope A FACIAL hair craze has swept social media in Russia after a late-night television host called on viewers to grow moustaches ahead of the World Cup.

Russia has lost seven international football games since November 2017.

STAT OF WEEK Fuel firm set to fork out €15bn SPANISH energy firm Repsol has pledged to sink €15 billion into exploration, production and refining over the next two years. It comes after years of costcutting exercises after the company was boosted by a rebound in global oil prices. The investment will be partfunded by the €3.8 billion sale of a 20 per cent stake in utility Gas Natural to private equity firm CVC Capital Partners. Oil production soared from 727,000 to 750,000 barrels per day over the first quarter of 2018, an official said.

Thieves in the bagging area SHOPLIFTERS cost the Spanish economy more than €1 billion per year, a new report says. The probe by the Association of Large Consumer Companies (AECOC) shows that alcoholic drinks, Iberian ham and chorizo, creams, make-ups and perfume top the rankings of products targeted by petty crooks across the country. And an estimated 22 per cent of the culprits are employees stealing while at work, according to the 2017 data. The food and drink section of the analysis shows Iberian meat products
by Matt Ford are singled out by 73.3 per cent of peckish raiders, with wine, beer and spirits chosen by 86.7 per cent of thirsty thieves. Jams and marmalade are the secondmost popular foodstuffs pilfered. In textiles, clothing including shirts, trousers, underwear, jumpers and socks are looted by 81.8 per cent of shoplifters, with hair bobbles, earrings, bracelets, rings and other accessories also taken during 54.5 per cent of swoops. Creams are the most desirable cosmetic product for criminals, being
stolen in 86.4 per cent of cases, with make-up and perfumes picked out 69.2 per cent of the time. Tools and batteries are top of the list for 70 per cent of hardware villains, according to the AECOC statistics, while consoles and video games, computer accessories and mobile phones are earmarked by 60 per cent of electronics jackers. The report reckons that most of these items are chosen for ‘their physical characteristics, monetary value or the ease with which they can be resold on the black market.’
Deals on wheels set new records SPANISH carmaker SEAT has set a new sales record. The Cataluña-based firm shifted 49,200 cars in May, beating the previous high of 48,400 set in 2000, after sales rose by 15.5 per cent. Vice-president for Sales and Marketing Wayne Griffiths said: “Our May sales enable us to maintain our position as one of the fastest growing brands in Europe. Our results went up by at least 14 per cent in the main European markets, and by more than 20 per cent in the case of Italy.”

SUPER CHARGED: The Apple Store in Barcelona. TECH giant Apple has paid €14.5 million to the Spanish Tax Agency in the wake of an inspection. Subsidiary Apple Retail, which manages the US firm’s 11 official stores across the country, footed almost €14.2 million of the bill after its VAT, corporate and income tax payments were probed. The rest of the cash was stumped up by Apple Market-
ing, a wholesale branch responsible for charging commission on products sold to shops by Ireland-based Apple Distribution International. Spain recently announced a new tax aiming to crack down on taxation strategies used by multinational companies, which often set up sales divisions in countries with low tax rates including Luxembourg, Ireland and the Netherlands.

The flat-pack specialist said that plastic straws, plates, cups, freezer bags, bin bags, and plastic-coated paper plates and cups would be discontinued or replaced by alternatives. A company official said: “We don’t have all the
answers yet but we are working together with our suppliers to find solutions that are good for both people and the planet.” The chain has already committed to axing oilbased plastics and the latest move will see all its plastic products made with recycled materials. It comes amid rising fear over plastic pollution in the world’s oceans.

Lawless Britain fuelled by family breakdown LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT PERSONALLY, I think the crime wave of tsunami-like proportions, which is at the moment practically engulfing the UK, has very little to do with the countries lack of police resources. I believe a large part of the blame can be firmly apportioned to the breakdown of the family u n i t . Hu g e n u mb ers o f familie s across the UK, have for years taken full advantage of the liberal benefits policies of successive governments. Child benefits have been a particularly lucrative source of earnings. Consequently, many children have been conceived and born purely to add to the family income. This has resulted in enormous dysfunctional families, of individuals to whom benefits are a way of life and children merely a means to a financial end. There is no love or guidance in these families. Once the children’s purpose has been served, they are left to roam the streets with no sense of decency or compassion for their fellow h u m a n b e i n g s w h a ts o ev er. H o w could there be, when there have been no examples of it at home? Once let loose, they link up with like-
YOUNG OFFENDERS: Are benefits to blame?
minded offsprings of their fellow dysfunctional neighbours and begin to run riot. They soon begin to realise, that the impossibly priced electronic devices and expensive ‘toys’ they have been bombarded with on television, are completely out of their financial reach, even if they took a ‘proper’ job. So, they turn to crime. Heaven forbid I could condone their often-horrendous actions, but quite frankly I
can easily see that they must actually feel they have very little choice. To be honest I can see no answer to the immediate situation. Lock up as many of them as possible I suppose. As to the future, only allowing child benefits for up to two children would be a start. At least this would curb the temptation to pour even more unwanted and unloved future criminals into our society. More police
are certainly needed, but only because the numbers of young criminals have escalated so al ar m i ngl y. I woul d l i ke t o see boot camps built all across the country, where these young offenders can be sent to learn discipline, values and respect for their fellow human beings. Trades could be taught. Even simply showing someone actually cares may rescue at least a proportion of them that can then be released to become valued members of society. Although Spain also has some problems with young offenders it is nothing like the enormous criminal issues confronting the UK at this time. I firmly believe that a great deal of this lies in the simple fact that the Spanish family unit is still as strong as ever. Love and respect are firmly entwined and pr act i sed f r om gr anni es and gr anddads down to the youngest of the broods and although I do feel they spoil some of their kids rotten, its infinitely better than chucking them out to survive with no pre-preparation, guidance or sense of decency whatsoever. Thanks for all the mail. Keep ‘em coming. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com leapylee2002@gmail.com

No-one is above the law I SOMETIMES find it difficult to understand why people stick so stubbornly to an idea or path of action even when everyone is telling them they are wrong and at the end of the day it is going to cost them a lot of money. Money that could better be used for the benefit of our own family for example. Stay with me this week because the outcome of a recent case could impact on all our communities with similar problems. I want to share with you a situation that came to an end only last week in the English courts. Of course it concerned an owner of an apartment in Spain. The owner bought it off plan 12 years ago. For the first few years he and his family used it and enjoyed it, then it was rented out to various families and then for the past eight years it was left empty. Throughout the whole period Management Fees were hardly paid, a few Euros occasionally to keep the Community from taking strong action and as we know that is not unusual in Spain. Finally in 2016 my firm was instructed to collect €19,000 from the owner. The owner lived in England and we approached him for
payment. He gave us the usual answers, basically refusing to pay. He also quoted the English Statute of Limitations stating that debts over six years old could not be sued for, although there was nothing to stop us asking. Fortunately for the community the property was repossessed by the Bank, as the owner had also defaulted on his mortgage. Under Spanish Law the bank paid the last three years, but this still left a large sum still due. The community instructed us to sue for the balance that remained, but it had to be for the Statement amount left within the last six years, which amounted to just €6,000…………… ………………But now the interesting part happened……………………….. We had a long think about the Law and realised that all contracts regarding Management Fees are made in Spain under Spanish
Law. In Spain The Statute of Limitations up until a few years ago was actually 15 years, although now changed to five years. Spanish law also stated that any amounts due under relevant contracts before 2015 could still be chased up to 2025 (now recently changed to 2020). As EU law dictates that these rules can apply on any legal action taken in another EU state, we pointed this out to the Judge. He had to agree and let us amend the proceedings to include ALL outstanding amounts plus costs. Despite vigorous defence arguments, to no avail, this month the Community was awarded Judgement for over €23,000. This amount was duly paid under further threat of Judgement Execution. Several lessons can be learnt by us all on this matter. Owners should never assume that they can just walk away from their legal
obligations and communities should not let them. In this case it did take a leap of faith to pay out legal costs but the result still gave back a healthy return and at least nearly all legal costs were repaid by the debtor. Even though we await the dreaded Brexit, our legal advisors are confident that the current EU/UK legislation that led to this great result will remain on the UK Statutes together with thousands of other laws. The most important lesson is that no one should be above the law and if we are going to enjoy the benefits of our Spanish communities then we should all take a deep breath and sometimes take a legal leap to collect overdue fees.

You’d also have to be a fan of the BBC’s unrivalled speech station, Radio 4, because that’s all I’m pirating. And technically I’m narrowcasting, not broadcasting. It’s just one way of several today of bringing the world’s radio stations into your home. If your purse can stand the pain you could buy a dedicated internet radio for upwards of €100, and then devote your entire life to th e t h o u sa n d s of s ta tio n s it pull s i n .

Video didn’t kill the radio star Terence Kennedy confesses to running his own pirate radio
FM TRANSMITTER: Start your own station. app like TuneIn Radio. You could use a sledgehammer to c ra c k a n u t, a s a home s ic k frie n d o f min e ha s done . H is computer pumps out BBC radio constantly through a little Bluetooth dongle, but most Bluetooth s p ea k ers lik e the one he the n moves around die a death just a few metres from their source. FM goes further. My solution has simplicity on
its side once you’ve set it up - the a bility to lis te n to your programme of c hoic e from a ny old FM radio, a n y where. We l l , anywhere w i t h i n a bout 10 me tre s , w hic h puz zled the heck out of our Spanish neighbour suddenly hearing ‘The World At One’ where Radio Nacional should have been. (Tip: for cross-cultural harmony, don’t choose a frequency already ocupada). Here’s my recipe, and it’s definitely not rocket surgery. 1) Choose your signal’s source. The e a s ie s t is a ra dio s ta tion s tre a me d from your c ompute r (though I us e d my U K -tune d satellite decoder instead because I just love making life difficult
for myself). 2) Buy any one of the dozens of tiny personal FM transmitters offe re d on Am azon and el sewhere, the kind normally plugged into a smartphone to play music through t he car r adi o. Pl ug i t straight into the computer’s headphone socket. (If you do pr ef er m y m or e challenging decoder route, you’ll need something like a SCART [or RCA plugs] to 3.5 mm stereo jack socket adapter, plus a common 3.5 m m m al e- t o- f em al e stereo extension cable). 4) Choose an empty channel on the transmitter so as not to obliterate your neighbours’ favourite Spanish station. 5) Fire up your radio source and the transmitter, pick up any FM radio, tune it to the chosen frequency. And bingo, there’s Britain’s unofficial second national anthe m e ver y weekday at t wo. Dum-ti-dum-ti-dum-ti-dum, dumti-dum-ti-daah-dum….

London calling FINDING an FM transmitter rather than Bluetooth is becoming trickier but they are available, like the one shown here, at around €10. Running it constantly will hammer the batteries, but rechargeable units can normally be left plugged into a power source. The audio plug goes directly into your computer’s headphone socket. If you decide to use a decoder instead you’ll need a 3.5 mm stereo cable with a male plug at one end to go into that SCART adapter mentioned earlier, and a female socket at the other to take the transmitter’s audio jack. Run an internet search for ‘Hama SCART adaptor’ (other brands are available, most around €10), and although this is an equal-opportunity column, do make sure you get the male one.

TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis SO, the 2018 World Cup has started and I’m sure fans of the beautiful game will already have their viewing schedules planned over the next month. England kick off their campaign on Monday against Tunisia and Spain take on Portugal tomorrow (Friday), followed by Iran on Wednesday and Morocco on June 25. I think those Eurovision flags might put in an appearance over the next couple of weeks. BBC and ITV are sharing the coverage from Russia, the BBC have the first English and Spanish games. As promised last week, I’ve been catching up on Versailles, which is back for a third, and has rumour has it, final series on BBC2 on Mondays. This isn’t a show for historical buffs or for anyone who doesn’t like an obscene amount of nudity and frolicking in their dramas. They can’t
keep their clothes on for goodness sake and I’m sure the Sun King’s palace would have been chilly, Versailles isn’t on the Costas after all. But this is a lavish production with plot turns, sweeping hair, tights and frock coats, and that’s just the men. When the women can keep their clothes on, it’s all big hair, heaving bosoms and beauty spots. Have I sold it to you yet? Series three sees the King’s brother Philippe return to court with ill-gotten treasure, in this case less Spanish gold and more the defeated Emperor Leopold. Louis eventually finishes building the Palace, but there is revolt in the air from the local peasants. The peasants keep their clothes on and don’t have to heave anything. They are simply there to revolt and be revolting. Look out for Matthew McNulty playing a soldier who mends shoes (I’ve no idea either) and whose family seem to be from a suburb of Paris somewhere in North Yorkshire! You can’t have missed that ITV2 are showing Love Island every day for what looks like the longest run in the history of the show. There are

A month of football, Louis XIV or a box set binge
DASHING: Matthew McNulty plays a soldier in Versailles. very few reasons to watch, although the villa where all the action happens is in Mallorca, just outside Sant Llorenc des Cardassar. The beautiful
young participants wear less clothing than anyone in Versailles, but I have to say don’t look in the least bit cold, that’s the Spanish sun for you.
Caroline Flack is your host, whilst Iain Stirling narrates the action. You don’t need to watch to keep up with what’s going on, just picture a hot tub, sunshine and pretty boys and girls running about with very little on, bitching about each other. OK, you guessed, I’m a fan. Only kidding, well... If you need to get away from the football or clothing optional shows, there are lots to pick from, with most of my favourites currently on Netflix. If you can ignore his head being too big for his body and the ill-fitting trousers, Designated Survivor sees Kiefer Sutherland playing a politician propelled to the US Presidency when most of the American government are killed. It’s a gritty, political drama and worth a binge session. If you get a cloudy week (unlikely, I know) Suits is also one to seek out. We all know a certain new Duchess is one of the stars, but this legal drama is so much more than Meghan. And finally, bit of a curve ball, You Me Her is an American/Canadian comedy about a suburban couple who, well, you get the picture, three isn’t a crowd.

You want to pay cash? Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man DID you all see the headlines last week? The one that looked as though the end of mankind was nigh? You know the one that said people had to use money to pay for a cup of coffee. Yeah, I know the actual problem was that Visa had a glitch for a few hours but you would have thought that it was definitely the end of the world. I mean who carries a few quid on them any more? Well apparently in the UK nobody does and to tell you the truth that scares me more than the fact that Visa had a problem. We are turning into a cashless society. There’s Apple Pay, this pay and that pay. You only have to stand next to a machine and get your phone out and it pays your bill. The dangerous thing is we aren’t ready for it and the reason for that is because if a hacker or a computer techy gets the hump or the power dies, the whole system goes to hell in a hand cart. There are actually already shops and restaurants that do not take cash at all. So imagine what happens to them if something major happens and they can’t get the system going again for a week or two. Then there is the Big Brother aspect where you are
being tracked 24/7. I know we are anyway but I also know of people that are paying for items that cost as little as £1 on a card! Commentators often suggest the phenomenon is driven by ‘consumer demand’ which is partially true. Ask a room of people to raise their hands if they wish to be able to use digital payment, and most will do so. But if you reframe the question as, ‘Do you want to not have the option to use cash?’ and people are more hesitant. We like new options, but we don’t like having options removed. A society without cash is a society without on-demand, easily accessible money. It is a society that relies entirely on the banking sector and the vulnerability that comes with digital wallets. Although there are obvious benefits to digital cash, we cannot live without a balance of both. Ok a quick revisit to some of the things I’ve mentioned before, but which this week have ticked me off again. Why do motorbikes not have to pay for parking spaces? Why do they insist in parking right in the middle of a space or on the edge of disabled bays? They will cross over the centre line when there’s a traffic jam and head towards you in a way that you have to swerve to miss them, even though they are on your side of the road. Zebra crossings do not even exist in their world. Why? mikesenker@gmail.com

Spain would be great but for the Spanish
HAVE YOUR SAY
No matter be it humble here’s home AS I opened the lid of our bottle bank I was amazed to see a wasp busily making its home it’s still there working away in its rubbish house, at least until the bin is emptied! Then it will probably have to buzz off. Tom Gibson, Costa Blanca
Waiting time I HAVE received a bill of €4,700 for external repairs to the building that has finally been almost completed, but still not quite right to move in, although it was started in 2005. It’s not only me that has to pay, but to wait eight years to obtain the building li-

I LOVE living here on the coast... wonderful weather, most of the time, meet so many interesting people... wonderful food. But, what is it with the Spanish? They seem to obey no laws. From the former prime minister being caught up in corruption/bribery scandal to the lady mayor of Madrid, eventually resigning when caught on camera apparently shoplifting! The president of our community is in the same position. I know the idea of democracy is still relatively new to Spain... post Franco, 1974? On the roads it is anarchy... Is it the national hobby to disobey traffic signs? Just returning from the supermarket, the traffic signs clearly show the direction of flow... but no, every other Spanish registered car (not rented) was determined to go in the other direction! I know I am a ‘grumpy old Englishman’ but am I alone in having this problem? Michael Colin, Estepona
BUSY WASP: It’s not just ants that work hard.
cence from Elche Council is another joke. I really wouldn’t mind if the building was old, but now 13 years in and I’m still having dramas. I now wish that I hadn’t bought in Spain, but been like many others who sold and now rent. I’m sick of property problems. Paul Butler, Elche

‘Aggressive’ passenger banned for life They shouldn’t let people board if they are intoxicated. They should also take away their ‘duty free’ bottles. Eileen Hanworth
Comments from EWN online
Make it a criminal offence, heavy fines plus all costs involved. Ban for life. Why should flight staff have to put up with this behaviour? Why too should French police have to deal with these ignorant louts? Chris Symington
Not entirely Bill, big insurance payouts are also to force the industry involved to make sweeping safety improvements to avoid further big losses. Matt Silver
Yup and it should work like the pub blackwatch scheme and their details handed to all the other airlines so they can’t fly with them either. Andrew Fitzgerald
Scot OAP spends birthday trapped in Spain
Good don’t need this behaviour, make it clear it will not be tolerated. Val Anderson
€17.2 million compensation for crushed hand How can anyone justify that, if she had carried on working for the rest of her life she wouldn’t earn anything like that amount, which is what compensation is for. Bill Newall
He received excellent treatment, the doctors maybe even saved his leg and this family is whining over a language barrier? Utter arrogance, that is all I want say about this. They could have complained about the heat on top of that to round it up. Show some gratitude instead. Peter Sauer
Uber begins operating on the Costa del Sol
This is typical, no thanks or acknowledgment of a job well done. All the hospitals have interpreters, but they are there to interpret medical and welfare matters. I wonder how many British hospital, or Scottish ones have multilingual interpreters. People like this make my blood boil. Kathryn Ramsden
I used Uber a lot in the UK because to be honest they were miles chesper than black taxis but looking this morning at the cost of fares of destinations I use regularly, here in Calahonda I’m seeing it as a lot cheaper to use the local taxi company.. eg Calahonda to La Cala cost us 1011€ , Uber quoting 13.75€ - big difference... just something to keep in mind Mr and Mrs Holidaymaker. Señor Simon and Dee
You couldn’t drag me back to the UK if I was ill, Spanish hospitals all day long. A friend of mine who lives here broke her leg in the UK visiting her family and was TRAPPED over there, that’s even worse but she didn’t whinge. Kaye Jane Riley
About TIME, taxis here are a rip off, cost me €10 before I even got off my urbanisation the other day as I needed picked up and I’m on the border with Marbella and Mijas and I was crossing over it straight away. Matt Silver
tective in the Metropolitan Police. Your article in some respects is wholly inaccurate and portraying what is one of the hardest jobs any person could undertake. Addressing your points on reality shows, I have to say my wife makes me watch them. The shows themselves follow officers in real time. I and my colleagues have given access to the media on occasions, and I don’t recall after kicking a door in or questioning a subject getting a director shout ‘take two!’ The programmes highlight the type of work and people they have to deal with. The thing that encourages these idiots is the courts handing them such paltry punishments. After all the police are racist, homophobic and every other ist and phobic that can be thrown at them. The poor female officer subjected to the behaviour at Notting Hill was part of the usual order from above, ‘Don’t arrest anyone, it might kick off.’ If you want to have an opinion, it is good to have done some research and at least have some facts at your fingertips. Dave, Porto Petro.
Gone too far Leapy, ONCE again you’ve hit the nail on the head and vocalised what I have been thinking about these police shows for a long time. Every time some skank sees a fellow criminal on TV abusing the police and behaving like an ass, then getting no more than a slap on the wrist, it will just encourage him to do the same. Why respect the law if doing so makes no difference to your sentence? For me though one of the worst things about those cop shows is seeing the huge amount of effort the police put into apprehending some violent idiot who then resists arrest, screams and swears, and lies about his details, and at the end the announcer says ‘no charges were brought.’ How about the resisting arrest and telling lies? No, just a ‘don’t do it again, son’ and be on your way. If that doesn’t encourage criminals and general disrespect and bad behaviour towards the police, what will? Problem is, the liberals would scream human rights the minute they said anything that might offend the criminal, so I guess they have to be careful. But I feel it has gone too far if those TV shows are any guide. Angus Silvie, Torre del Mar

MEMORY LAPSE: Studies found humans have trouble remembering details about new people.
DID YOU KNOW? The ‘next-in-line’ effect refers to the reason why people tend to have so much trouble remembering the names of those they have just met. Studies and theories claim the brain is more focused on how it will respond to a new person rather than retaining details about them, including names. One study found little about new people was retained.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Keeping an eye on your health is particularly important at the moment. Because you have been active, it could be that you need to give yourself a bit of time. Pampering and just plain relaxing are all going to stand you in good stead during the coming week.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Opening your mind to a new idea has convinced you that it is time for a change in direction. This is such a time, but not all changes will be permanent. Give yourself a way out of any situation this week. Using your tact and charm, it will require only a little application to please everyone.

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

Improvising within a new business situation may not give you the perfect answer to a problem. What it will do, however, is give you an insight into the way others live. Until now, your approach to life may have been a little one-sided.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A recent holiday has set your mind racing. This being a romantic time means that you can get a little overexcited. Your romance may not be set to last but you should fully enjoy it
nonetheless. Relatives issue words of warning but they have only your best interests at heart.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Opposing opinions on a matter close to your heart see you hesitating. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice. The chances are that you know someone who has already been through your situation. Don’t let pride make you miss out on a solution.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Not everything in the garden is rosy but you are made of strong stuff. Your conviction that something is right helps you in discussions. Support given to a loved one may be misguided, especially if it is a huge financial gamble.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a time to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Don’t forget, along the way, to congratulate yourself for all that you have achieved in the last year. Sometimes you do not blow your own trumpet and people appreciate you in a quiet way.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) An appetite for something new means that you tread unknown ground. It’s an exciting time when you may find it easier to do things alone. This does not mean you have to feel alone as others can be told of your progress.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Part of being ‘you’ is your independent mind. Some may try to change that this week. Why would someone want to make you more dependent on them? Could it be that they feel insecure? Giving reassurance may be all that is needed. We all feel the need for appreciation.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Trying to be everything to all people is tiring. No one knows this more than you. Give yourself a little time and space this week because it will make a great difference to your spirits.

BEARTOWN’S inhabitants are used to ruggedness. Their surroundings in the snowy north have made them tough and hardworking and they pride themselves on wanting fairness, not ease. The town is also proud of its hockey team. But when its players leave for the rival town of Hed Hurts, residents are left with no one to cheer on winter nights. Fortunes turn when a new player arrives and team coach Peter sees an opportunity to reclaim Beartown’s glory. But what starts as another episode in the town’s rivalry with Hed Hurts quickly turns bitter when threats to ‘kill’ and ‘ruin’ each other begin flying around. We see Beartown come together and people try to form something bigger than themselves in Fredrik Backman’s ‘Us Against You.’

Clucking great news IT appears that eating too many eggs a day is an old wives tale after all. Recent research in China has debunked the myth and studies instead suggest that eating at least one egg a day may reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes. Of course, it is widely known that eggs are an important aspect of a healthy diet. They are one of nature’s most nutritious foods containing Vitamins A, D, B and B12, and high levels of protein. Eggs also contain lutein and zeaxanthin that can help prevent eye damage in old age. This is welcome news for the egg industry after years of bad press in which eggs have GOOD GUM: A chewing gum a day might keep the doctor away.
Exercising your jaw ALTHOUGH banned in Singapore, many people love chewing gum whilst going about their daily business. For some it’s a habit, whilst others love the range of juicy flavours that certain gums can offer. But most won’t have realised that chewing gum whilst you walk could help you to lose
weight. According to new research, when you chew gum you actually walk faster which in turn means that your body burns more calories. Walking faster also increases your heart rate which is another important factor in losing weight. The study, from Waseda Uni-
versity in Tokyo, was the first to look at how chewing gum affects the body whilst walking. All previous studies had set out to discover how it impacts the body whilst resting. The research team which presented the findings at the recent European Congress of Obesity in Vienna concluded that: “chewing gum while walking affects a number of physical and physiological functions in men and women of all ages.” This is welcome news for the chewing gum industry and not the first time that chewing gum has been associated with health benefits. Previous studies have found that chewing gum on a regular basis can help to reduce stress and protect your teeth from plaque and decay.
EGG-TASTIC: Recent findings come as welcome news for the egg industry.
been linked to salmonella as well as cholesterol levels. However, concerns about cholesterol levels in eggs have also been widely dispelled, with findings suggesting that this has more to do with how the eggs are cooked (fried in oil, for example) than the actual egg itself. Dr Frankie Phillips, of the British Dietetic Association said that “people shouldn’t be frightened of eating too many eggs.” The only concern with eating too many, is that too much protein is being digested and this can put a strain on people’s kidneys. However, don’t think that you can keep yourself in tip-top shape simply by downing some eggs. Experts in the study stressed that egg consumption needs to be part of a healthy lifestyle if any benefit is to b e reaped.
Strengthen your core or your foundation? By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com HAVING a strong ‘core’ has been the mantra for many physios, pilates teachers, yoga teachers, fitness experts for quite a few years now. But what if the key to better posture and less injuries was a bit lower? Good foundations I read a fantastic article from Matt Fitzpatrick, a consultant podiatrist at the College of Podiatry discussing his belief that if you strengthen and exercise your feet you will reduce strain throughout the kinetic chain (that’s the muscles that work together to hold you up and move you for-
ward!) and therefore move better. I feel Matt and I would get along! The sore foot shuffle Let’s put this another way what do you do when your foot hurts? Limp? Hobble? Walk more slowly? Stand in front of a mirror and bend one knee. Now you can’t touch the floor with your heel. OR you’ve dropped your hip and therefore twisted your back. Maybe one shoulder dropped. OR you’re feeling unstable so both shoulders rounded so you can see the floor better to avoid obstacles. See how your whole posture changed? Fix the wheels Feet are like the wheels on your car.
Maintain good tyre ‘health’ and you reduce petrol consumption, reduce stress through the suspension and therefore every joint in the engine. Everything literally, runs smoothly. Why treat your car better than your body? Simple vs complicated There are two really easy ways to look after your feet: • Support them! We have moved so far past Forest Gump style orthopaedic shoes! • Exercise them check out Matt’s recommending exercise on our website. If you want to bounce on the padel court, swing easily on the golf course or just walk and move more comfortably look after your feet. You might be surprised how much slimmer and taller you are with some good foundations!

HEALTH & BEAUTY SUGAR is a natural component of food like fruits and vegetables, but eating too much of it comes with consequences. We are now a lot more aware of the risks of too many sweets, but there are still plenty of myths about sugar and what it does to us. The industry has long denied that it plays any role in chronic disease, but research suggests otherwise. Studies have connected excessive consumption with memory loss, high blood pressure, heart disease, cavities and weight gain. Most people could eat less sugar, less often. However, quitting sugar completely is unlikely to improve your health. Some sugar-free diets encourage people to cut out foods s u c h a s f r u i t a n d d a i r y, without evidence to support their exclusion. But whole fruit is a great source of fructose as well as other essential minerals and vitamins. However, research does show that reducing your intake of sugar in drinks such as coffee, tea

HEARD about the hoax call that duped Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson into talking to a man he thought was the Armenian prime minister for 18 minutes? During the phone conversation Boris was asked about the Salisbury poisoning and how to deal with President Putin. He’s just the latest victim of two Russian pranksters who previously called Sir Elton John in the guise of Mr Putin, and who also convinced President Erdogan of Turkey he was speaking to his Ukrainian counterpart. Well, this won’t be the first - or the last prank call. There was, reportedly, an incident over 20 years ago when a radio presenter from Quebec managed to get through to the Queen claiming to be the Canadian Prime Minister, Jean Chrétien. Her Majesty thus appeared live on a radio programme, demonstrating an excellent
BORIS BLUFFED: The UK Foreign Secretary was tricked by an impersonator. grasp of Quebec politics, in fluent French! Clearly this isn’t - for once - a lapse by Boris, but rather a security breach by his aides in not adequately vetting calls put through to him. I’d suggest he uses the same automated systems that most of the companies in the UK use and then these pranksters would never get through or simply hang up in the process! Maybe an automated system like the following: 1. If you want to discuss the latest faux pas of Mr Johnson, please press 1.
2. If you want to discuss our worldclass, leading-edge strategy: ‘Taking Back Control,’ please press 2. 3. If you want our Three Brexiteers to appear at your next stag do, please press 3. 4. If you want to discuss the UK’s foreign relations, you are held in a queue of 250,000. 5. If you want to discuss or offer a free trade deal (however unilateral), forward the contract clearly marked where to sign. 6. If you want to discuss Mr Johnson’s next attempt at getting fired or staging a coup, please call 007. ‘Buffoon Boris’ is a featherweight, a blundering featherweight, in a heavyweight contest. Get him out of the ring before he does any more damage. Please!

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they use ‘Proceso Monitorio’? I am the president of our urbanisation. We have two owners who do not pay the community fees and give no response to the administration. For each of the properties the debt is now more than €20,000. We are taking the necessary court actions to obtain embargoes on the two properties. One of our members has read an article which refers to the ‘proceso monitorio’ as a means of asking the court to order payment or even a forced sale of the property within three months to cover the debt. It is particularly the aspect of forced sale which attracts our interest. A M (Costa del Sol) The ‘ Proceso David Searl Monitorio’ is a You and the Law sort of smal l cl ai ms in Spain court procedure which can be usef ul i n some cases. Unfortunately, for any debt over €6,000 it turns out to be almost the same procedure as a normal court case. It appears that you have already gone to court to claim the debt in a normal proceeding, so you are doing the right thing, even if it takes a long time in the over-loaded Spanish courts.

If music be the food of love SPAIN has become a major hot spot (in more ways than one) for open air summer music festivals. It now attracts young and not so young people from across the country and indeed much of Europe who flock to see international stars perform. The following is a general list of some of the largest festivals and is by no means complete but at least gives an idea of where some of the best music with a very different range of music, genre and artist performing will be taking place. Almost to be expected, Barcelona and Madrid are two of the busiest cities to host festivals, but in fairness there is something going on across the country and this doesn’t take into account bands who play one off open air gigs at the various fairs and fiestas around the country. Sónar, Barcelona, June 14 to 16 This is very much an electronic music festival which is now in its 25th year with headliners Gorillaz and Thom Yorke joined by a host of up and coming musicians including a large contingent from Africa. Download Festival Madrid, June 28, 29 and 30 Held at the Caja Mágica this is the event of the season for metal heads with performances from 54 artists including headline acts Guns ‘n Roses,

Weekend Beach Festival, Torre del Mar, July 4 to 7 Now in its fifth year, the Beach Festival offers a wide selection of different music ranging from The Offspring to Jimmy Cliff via DJ David Guetta and Spanish rocker Bunbury. Bilbao BBK, July 12 to 14 This event in the Basque Country mixes poprock and more indie bands and welcomes the Go-
rillaz, Florence and the Machine and Childish Gambino. Mad Cool Festival, Madrid, July 12 to 14 In competition with BBK, Mad Cool boasts crowd pleasers Pearl Jam, Arctic Monkeys and Queens of the Stone Age as well as a selection of underground bands and electronic music. Festival Internacional de Benicassim, Valencia, July 19 to 22 This well-established festival sees a plethora of top bands including The Killers, Pet Shop Boys
and Liam Gallagher play through the night on the beach. Benidorm Low Festival, July 27, 28 and 29 Although featuring mainly Spanish bands, the two big names from the UK announced so far are the Chemical Brothers and Biffy Clyro Arenal Sound, Valencia, July 31 to August 5 Close to Benicassim, the town of Borriana, has another beachside festival and with nearly a week of festivities attracts a large number of party goers with attractions including Crystal Fighters, The Vamps and Steve Aoki. DGTL Barcelona, August 10 and 11 This somewhat specialist festival brings Dutch Techno Festival to Barcelona so if thumping sounds at potentially the hottest part of the year turn you on then get ready to rave. MTV Gibraltar Calling, September 21 and 22 Since last year, the annual festival has been associated with MTV and offers a mixed line up of current stars such as Stormzy, Rag ’n’ Bone Man and Rita Ora alongside vintage rockers such as the Boomtown Rats and Sweet. There are also regular concert runs such as the Marenostrum Festival in Fuengirola which welcomes Ricky Martin and Santana plus many others and Starlight in Marbella which sees Sting and many Spanish top stars.

PUERTO RICAN singer and superstar Ricky Martin will be playing a 10-date tour of Spain which will see him play beneath the Sohail Castle Fuengirola on Thursday August 16. Having been involved in the music business since the age of 12 when he was in a popular boy band, he is reputed to have opened the doors in the UK and USA for Latin pop/rock with his 1999 smash hit Livin’ La Vida Loca.
Since then he has become an international star and for the last two years, following in the footsteps of Elvis, Liberace and Elton John he has enjoyed a successful residency at the Park Theatre in Las Vegas. The show will be held at the Marenostrum Festival on the specially constructed stage backing on to the sea beneath the castle and tickets will be available at a range of prices through the Festival website from today (Thursday).

A Rainbow over Manilva THE Council in Manilva was encouraged by the turnout for its first Pride event last year and has launched Manilva Pride 2018 which starts today Thursday and runs until Saturday night. In addition to the Pride Parade, which will tour different streets of the municipality, there will be musical performances, various shows and a pool party as the closing of the event. It has to be remembered that Manilva also includes the areas of Duquesa and Sabinillas and many of the events will take place in Duquesa Port. The Council, through the department of Foreigners and Equality, led by expatriate Councillor Dean Tyler Shelton and Patricia Recio supports this initiative organised by Christian Lee Dunn. Among the planned musical performances are already confirmed Lara Sanjen, Michel Marouli, Karen Parry, Nefertiti, Voulez Vous Abba Tribute and El Biri. Hundreds of visitors are expected and full details of the events may be viewed at the Manilva Pride Facebook page. Apart from an excuse to have a great time, the very serious intent behind the long weekend is to try to raise society’s awareness to the absolute respect that

To coincide with last year ’s Pride and LGBT awareness, the Council had the steps at the Manilva sports complex painted with the Rainbow colours. The original flag consisted of eight colours but was then changed to contain six and each colour stands for a different aspect of life. Red is Life, Orange is Health, Yellow is Sunlight, Green is Nature, Blue is Serenity and Purple is Spirit with the whole flag representing respect for the sexual orientation of each person.
Home-made burgers
by Andrew Harding IT is the start of summer and also the start of the barbecue season, this week and next I will include two of mine, my relatives and my friend’s favourite recipes. First of all, a few words about barbecuing. The characteristic flavour of barbecued food comes from juices and fats dripping on to the heat source creating smoke and undesirable flames (quench with a water spray) when the fats and oils catch fire. Whether the heat source is burning charcoal, an electric element, or lava rock heated by a gas flame the flavours are all the same. I have never used an electric barbecue, but have used charcoal and gas, my personal preference is for bottled gas, because it is quicker to reach the required temperature, is more controllable and it is much cheaper especially if your domestic water is heated by bottles of butane. You can use the last dregs of butane heating the barbecue instead of gambling on a

Andy’s ultimate beefburgers Serves 4 • 2 small onions, chopped • 3 whole garlic cloves, skinned and chopped • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 700 grammes good quality minced beef • 4 teaspoons mustard powder • 2 teaspoons black (or green) peppercorns, coarsely ground • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Hint: I hate lettuce, tomato and gherkins added to hot burgers, this destroys both the taste and texture of all four items. I serve the burgers in a bun, spread with olive oil and placed cut side down on the grill for about a minute, until slightly toasted. Fried onion, mushroom and cheese on top of the burger takes it to a new level! Salad and gherkins should be a side dish Hint: Don’t overwork the beef when mixing with the other
• 3 whole beef stock cubes, crumbled • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1. Fry onions in olive oil until golden, add garlic and continue to fry until cooked through, place to one side to cool and then liquidise in a blender. 2. Add to ground beef together with all the other ingredients, mix by hand until mixed thoroughly. 3. Leave in fridge for two hours in a covered bowl. 4. Using kitchen roll and a cheap cooking oil, coat the barbecue grill plates with a thin film of oil to prevent food from sticking. Light the barbecue, when hot, take a tangerine size piece of beef mix and flatten, then cook until crisp on outside and cooked on inside (or, pink if you prefer and you trust the source of the meat to avoid foodpoisoning), put to one side and keep warm. If you want cheeseburgers, place thinly sliced cheese on top of the almost-cooked burgers and pull the hood down on the barbecue and leave until the cheese has melted. 5. Serve
ingredients, the texture of the beef, as well as its flavour, needs to be just right. Most propriety burgers fail on all counts, but especially on texture. Hint: Liquidising the onion/garlic is not essential provided they are finely chopped. Tip: Peppercorns need to be freshly ground, when bought finely ground it loses flavour very quickly.

NOW that the new Cirque de Soleil TOTEM show is well into its Malaga City dates, the sheer brilliance of its performers has already left capacity audiences gasping. The event which is described as a journey into the evolution of mankind runs until the end of June in the specially designed big top at the Cortijo de Torres Fairground. The show follows the human species from original amphibian state to the ultimate desire to fly. There are six interlinking parts of the performance which are broken up by a number of clowns and an intermission as well as an imaginative nod to Charles Darwin and the Creation of the Species. Part of the cast of TOTEM (12 artists dressed in their costumes and make-up of the show), accompanied by Stephanie Gaudette the general director of the shows on tour met with the mayor of

THIS year’s La Sala by the Sea’s White and Gold party was a roaring success in Puerto Banus last Friday. The movers and shakers of the Costa del Sol and holiday revellers alike flocked to Marbella’s premium beachside relaxation venue to mark its summer opening. They embraced the dress code, draped in the finest white and sparkling gold apparel. After a welcome glass of Champagne, revellers were also treated to a delicious range of Thai-fusion and sushi canapes delivered by meticulous staff offering optimum hospitality and attention to detail. Stunning white-feather dancers twirled flaming sticks on the poolside wowing onlookers savouring summer beverages. And golden guests swayed to funky grooves from a top line-up of live music from Masquerade Duo and DJ Scott Strutton. After revelling in the evening’s entertainment and lounging on the king-size cabana beds, guests were transported to the after-party at the swish Sala Banus, La Sala’s twin-venue in Marbella. Opening celebrations continued the following day as lucky guests attended the official summer opening of La Sala by the Sea’s restaurant with special entertainment from James Arthur. He played an exclusive, acoustic style set including a number of his hits and was supported by La Sala Favourites Kin and Tony Capo. Briton James Arthur won the ninth series of the X Factor in 2012 and went on to release a number one album, Back From The Edge, in September 2016. It featured global hit Say You Won’t Let Go which sold more than 9.6 million copies worldwide. Those who missed out on the first taste of summer paradise at La Sala should not fret as the venue is now officially open. La Sala by the Sea’s oceanfront setting is among the best in Marbella.

Shake a tail feather IN 1962 one of the greatest ever rock and roll instrumentals, Green Onions was released on the Stax label by Booker T and the MG’s. This was an unusual event as the label was predominantly aimed at a black soul audience and the band contained two Afro Americans and two White Americans, an early example of racial harmony in music. The band went on to become the Stax house band and recorded with the likes of Otis Redding and Sam & Dave as well as recording other tracks in their own right. When the Blues Brothers movie starring John Belushi and Dan Akroyd went into production, he was the natural selection as member of the Blues Brothers Band and he ap-
peared in the follow-up as well as performing with the Blues Brothers Band live. Now, the musician who has been named as one of the 50 greatest guitarists of all times by Rolling Stone is due to appear with the still gigging Blues Brothers Band this August in Torremolinos. This is to be a three-handed concert to be held at the Torremolinos Bull Ring on Tuesday August 7 starting at 9.45pm with tickets costing from €25 to €55 via www.costadeldisco. com. Supporting the American visitors will be Spanish bands Aurora & The Betrayers and Dry Martina with Martyn Woods (Big M) as DJ and MC for the night.

Advertising Feature EVERY year thousands of expats realise their dream as they buy their ‘Place in the Sun.’ Living in Spain can be liberating for them as they adapt to the more relaxing, laid back lifestyle. What very few people warn them about, however, is the winter! Most Spanish houses are not built with winter in mind, and most hardy northern Europeans think ‘How bad could it be?’ To which the answer is: ‘Pretty bad!’A general lack of insulation means that Spanish homes can be like an ice block once the sun goes down at night, and the chattering of teeth from frozen new expats can be heard like cicadas! However, you need not despair, the solution is at hand, and you do not need to re-invent the wheel. Over 10 years ago Richard and Tony were in the same situation.

Make your new home ‘winter friendly’ with Neater Heater Tony was amazed at the efficiency of the Norwegian heaters, joking that it was now costing him less to keep his family warm than it had been costing to keep them cold! Richard and Tony decided to make these heaters available throughout the Costa Blanca, and set up Neater Heater to achieve this. In fact, they have become so popular that there are outlets selling Neater Heaters from the Costa Blanca all the way down to the Costa del Sol, and now even in Portugal. However, if you have no agent near you, never fear, they can be bought from their internet shop and delivered to your door, often by the next day.

Summer chic WITH summer just around the corner now is the time to start those interior decorations to be sure that you bring a sense of summer sensation into your home. Although we all need to keep out the light and heat during those important hours of siesta, for the remainder of the day, it’s important that your home feels open and light. So take down those heavy winter curtains and replace them with something light and breezy. This will allow natural light into your spaces and let you take advantage of solar energy. It’s important that cool air can circulate around your home. So, if you don’t h a v e t h e a i r- c o n o n , t h e n leave your windows open. Placing scented flowers or plants around your home
will ensure that pleasant aromas invade your spaces. The best flowers to decorate your home in summer include roses, daisies, petunia, sunflowers, lavender and geraniums. In fact, if you have the space, create an internal garden. This gives you a great opportunity to breathe fresh air into a select area of your home. Paint the flower pots different colours to introduce some colour and striking tones. An additional advantage of creating such a space is that it can offer you a novel space to retreat to when you need some ‘me-time.’ Finally, place some fruit bowls around your home and always have them filled with fresh colourful fruits.
FRUIT AND FLOWERS: Bring the summer season right into your home.

If you’re happy and you know it Marbella Moments by Nicole King COMPARABLE is good for us; it’s only the bad times that make us appreciate the good times, we only know what we have when it’s gone, the list goes on. It’s therefore paramount that we keep a clear head and a sharp mind and ensure that we are consciously aware of our good fortune, whatever it may be. Our joy in what we have can only lead to better things. Living in Marbella we’re off to a good start: we have the weather, we have the ocean and beaches and we have the chance to meet new, exciting people and to learn new things wherever we go. Above all we live in peace. Just these simple pleasures, in comparable to those trapped in cold cities let alone in war zones, makes us amongst the most privileged people on the planet. Please try and remember this as you go about your day to day and let comparable serve us well; not to compete
Happiness is the greatest gift that we possess. amongst one another, but to help each other shine. The other day I met a photographer, not happy to celebrate his birthday, as he was getting old, fortysomething I think. Not only having lunch with his daughter seemed insufficient to ease his pain, he obviously didn’t consider
that he woke up that morning and that he did so with all his limbs and loved ones in good health and with people wanting him to photograph them. All of this added to the blessing of living abroad in Marbella. Perhaps if he’d remembered how lucky he is just to be alive instead of
his ‘same old, same old’ attitude he, his daughter and those he came into contact with would all have had a better day. He might have been anxious to truly capture that special something in that special someone before him instead of dreading another face to photograph (it
would have been a better example to his daughter too in my humble opinion). That same day a business owner with funds to travel and live a seemingly luxurious lifestyle, compared to others at least, thought that a sad face was justified if people only knew the hardships they were facing. As I listened to the list I realised it’s not a competition any of us can win. I by no means wish to undermine the importance of the problems that were being faced; of course the issues were of consequence. However, as we all have burdens to bear and responsibilities to carry and have no idea what’s going on in other people’s lives, even the ones that smile, we should all make an effort to have a nice day, for everyone’s benefit. Happiness only comes if we’re looking for it and when we have it, it shows: in us, in our work and in those around us. We have so much for which to be grateful, to make us feel happy and perhaps we can’t walk around clapping our hands at everyone to show it, but we can certainly all smile. www.marbellanowtv.com # BetterTogether
Sports utility vehicles or luxury road cars Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England NEW YORK, March 2018 - The Range Rover Velar judged the most beautifully designed vehicle on the planet, winning the World Car Design of the Year title at the 2018 World Car Awards. Bringing glamour, modernity and elegance to the Range Rover family, the €65,000 Velar offers a unique combination of design excellence and engineering integrity. The distinctive design of the Range Rover Velar features perfectly optimised proportions and a stunning silhouette. Its superslim Matrix Laser-LED headlights, flush deployable door handles and sleek Touch Pro Duo infotainment are all hallmarks of Range Rover’s reductionist design philosophy. Gerry McGovern, Chief Design Officer, Land Rover, said: “The continued evolution of our design philosophy is driven by a relentless focus on creating highly desirable vehicles our customers will love for life. The Range Rover Velar brings a new dimension
AWARD-WINNING: Sports utility vehicles or luxury road cars. o f modernity to the Range Rover family with an abundance of innovative technologies, all making this vehicle a joy to drive and be driven in. “We’re honoured that the jury recognised the tireless endeavours of our designers and engineers in delivering a vehicle with compelling design, tailored technology and relevant innovation which come together to create a vehicle of instant desirability.”
Land Rover and Range Rover have travelled a long road in 70 years from dominating the farm yard to dominate the Luxury SUV market and playing major roles on battlefields, the current generation represented by the Range Rover Velar is the SUV of choice for Oligarch Technocrat or Sheikh besides sundry Royalty! Such dominance can only be challenged. No surprise then that weeks later RollsRoyce Motor Cars launched the much antici-
pated ‘Cullinan’ - starting from €285,000 named after the largest diamond ever discovered now set among the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. A challenge to the dominance of the Range Rover, Giles Taylor, Director of Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said: “From the very beginning the design team treated this brand new Rolls-Royce as a unique, high bodied car. With global customer expectations in mind, our aim was two-fold - realise a presence to match the magnificent capability of Cullinan, whilst setting sector defining standards for luxury and elegance. We know that many of our luxury patrons pursue sports or leisure hobbies that require precisely this type of go anywhere vehicle - Cullinan’s design gesture had to possess an immediate sense of effortless accomplishment.” Perhaps recognising the merest suggestion of following rather than leading what is now a crowded choice of SUV’s Giles Taylor acknowledged, “The label SUV is now applied to anything with a two-box silhouette and the least suggestion of going off tarmac. We envisioned an authentic, three-box high-bodied all-terrain car with a convention-challenging design and absolute capability that would satisfy the adventurous urges of our clients.” Interesting to note that both are British brands.

DON’T exercise a dog strenuously straight after feeding. Always wait for a minimum of one hour, otherwise it can be extremely dangerous and result in stomach torsion, a twisting which prevents gasses from escaping. Unless prompt veterinary attention is sought, this condition can be fatal. Likewise, do not feed your dog directly after exercise as stomach torsion can also result. However, gentle exercise after eating burns up more calories by raising the body’s rate of metabolism. It is better than allowing the dog to lie down to digest its food, for while sleeping a pet will burn up only a few calories, just enough to keep its heart and lungs going. This can result in weight gain. It makes sense to take

Your dog and exercise your dog for a walk of not more than a half-hour after the two meals of the day. This very gentle exercise will also stimulate its digestion. Then, after a few hours have passed, you can let the dog enjoy more strenuous exercise. For smaller breeds, simply taking a dog outdoors to relieve itself gives a certain amount of exercise. This assists but does not cause defecation, for a dog does not need exercise to loosen his bowels unless it is ill. Taking a dog on a daily run is not necessarily in its best interest. Dogs should never be run on hard surfaces such as pavements or paved roads but on earth, and certainly should not be made to run behind your car.

ness. Medium and large breeds should not be allowed excessive exercise, or do agility work, until at least 18-months old, and even then with caution. Often a weakness will remain dormant in young
bones if they are subjected to extreme exercise. Throwing a ball in a park for an hour could bring on a problem. Dogs do not need as much exercise as many think. A dog should never be al-
lowed out alone even if it has a name tag on its collar. It is an offence in most European countries for it to be roaming on public streets or highways where it can still be classified as a stray dog and impounded by the police or a dog warden. Dog owners are legally responsible for any damage caused by their dog. If your dog’s actions result in a traffic accident you may well have to pay compensation for damaged vehicles or injured persons and this could be substantial. No dog can ever be 100 per cent reliable when walking along a road off its lead. A sudden noise, a car backfiring, or the sight of a cat could cause the dog to bolt. Only luck will determine if the dog runs out in front of a car. So don’t show off by walking your dog without a lead besides a busy road. A living dog on a lead is better than a dead one off it.
Keeping the cat at bay IT is actually possible that you don’t like cats. Or perhaps you only like your cat and you want to deter your neighbour’s furry feline from overstepping the mark into your territory. Well, there are steps you can take to discreetly mark your boundary and stop other cats from prowling onto your patch. The very first step is to clear away any cat excrement around the place, as this attracts more cats to foul in that area. Once this is done, block gaps in the boundary with prickly plants or prunings such as holly. You can fit string or wire to the top of a fence to make it more difficult for cats to walk on it. Then half fill some plastic bottles with water and place these along your boundary. Along the same lines, dangle some old CDs as the reflecting light will deter the cats. Cats love to dig up exposed

Finally, a little known secret is to drop tea bags which have been infused with Olbas oil around the edges of your area. This is known to keep cats at bay. But remember, whatever option you chose, be sure to cause the cat no harm.

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

50th anniversary roadster is a beauty and a beast The T Th he Best Bestt Motor Be Mot oto otor tor or Insurance Ins nsur uran ura ran ance ce
MORGAN is best known for its traditionalism, but its Plus 8 50th anniversary edition more than holds its own with modern sports models. Limited edition cars like this always sell well, and given the phenomenal affection for this British beast, the final 50 cars in the Plus 8 line are guaranteed to find homes quickly. Available in French blue as a roadster, or in British racing green as a fully-trimmed road car, the former is a good deal better looking although less practical. The seats of the roadster while accommodating, are hard
on the lower spine, but the rest of the cabin is well finished. It is a wide cockpit, with large sills but little space for luggage. There’s virtually no need of a transmission, as the Plus 8 will pull from walking pace into top gear, and the impact is immediate and electrifying. While the aluminium honeycomb chassis is generally sound, the ride quality in this 1.2-tonne car is by turns bouncy over big bumps and shuddering over small ones. Steering feedback and weighting has been an issue with the Aero 8 and its descen-
dants, and there’s clearly been work done for the Plus 8. The weighting is more consistent and there is no longer a terrifying unpredictability as you turn a corner. However, with limited ground clearance and suspension movement, the Plus 8 does give off an air that you are flying by the seat of your pants. Overall, a car like this anniversary edition is about the details, and for the most part they are beautifully realised, with wheels that echo MMC IIs, a lovely set of driving lamps, and the rich paint quality.

MOTORING Classic Car Club of Andalucía
www.euroweeklynews.com
14 - 20 June 2018
T’S another busy month for the organisers and members of the Classic Car Club of Andalucia. June sees the Club involved with no less than five full events whilst others are winding down for the summer! The month got off to a flying start with the Club’s monthly dinner at Treetops Restaurante in El Chaparral Golf Club. Not just a dinner and a chance for members to get together, the Club arranged a full-scale Cabaret put on by ‘A Touch of Class,’ the Costa-based cabaret, singing and dancing group that put on so many performances in aid of various charities. Their polished performance in front of around 100 CCCA diners encouraged much dancing and merriment and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Not just a spectacular, full costumed Cabaret but also a very fine Fashion show was organised in the breaks by CCCA member and top couturier Brian Piccolo. Some beautiful clothes were modelled by CCCA’s own lovely ladies as a small ‘taster’ of the range that Brian produces. Members were most impressed by the routines and clothes and much appreciated having the CCCA girls as models. Not only that, the food and service at Treetops was to its usual very high standard and much enjoyed by everyone. The Club is very lucky to have this super place as its ‘Home base’ and has done so for over 10 years. The following Saturday saw the Club members gather at Restaurante El Caserio, on the main A-7 coast road between San Pedro and Estepona for its monthly classic car run and lunch. Always a superb day out, always a different start venue, route and finish venue, organiser Ian Giles was delighted to have over 80 people out enjoying it all. From near Estepona the route cut across to Casares and then headed up to Gaucin. The roads going up to here are beautiful but have, for many years, been in a dreadful state of disrepair and a danger to a low-slung classic. At long last, these roads have now been resurfaced and are an absolute delight to drive. A real pleasure to get out in a decent motor car and fully enjoy the scenery and the pleasure of driving in the sunshine. From Gaucin cars headed in the direction of Ronda, but stopped for a coffee and tapas break at Venta Solera, before turning off to head down to Cortes de la Frontera. Then a loop back to Atajate before heading up to Ronda and a chance to enjoy the spectacular views as the route wound down towards San Pedro. Restaurant El Gamonal at San Pedro was the choice for lunch and what a superb job these guys did. Fabulous food, plenty of decent wine and first class service. Well done El Gamonal, we shall be back!

Saturday June 30 - Car Show in aid of Charity On June 30 the Club is joining forces with the La Cala Lions and Joffreys restaurante in La Cala de Mijas to promote a car show with displays of cars of all ages.

will be presented for various classes and it is hoped funds will be gathered for Lions’ supported charities. If you would like to show your car, whatever its age, please contact me, Ian Giles, at ian@iangiles.com.

Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

Transfer rumours Who is in, who is out, and who is most wanted in England and Spain? Arsenal are in talks to sign Sampdoria’s €25 million defensive midfielder Lucas Torriera, 22, who is playing for Uruguay at the World Cup. (Daily Mail) Real Madrid have made contact with former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas about succeeding Zinedine Zidane as manager.

World Cup 2018: England unfazed by great expectations THE biggest sporting event on the planet begins today (Thursday) in Russia, where 32 national football teams will compete for glory and sporting immortality. England’s World Cup preparations concluded with a promising 2-0 victory over Costa Rica at Elland Road, and Gareth Southgate’s squad will approach the tournament with quiet optimism. It has been an unusually tranquil build-up for England, so far devoid of injury dramas, tabloid scandals or selection sagas. There are signs that Southgate knows the style of play he wants his team to adopt, and that he has the personnel to deliver it. Gone is the iron grip of the Fabio Capello regime, or the muddled selections and positioning of players under Hodgson. Southgate’s men were all happy to take part in an open-media session that would have been unthinkable not so long ago. WORLD number one Rafael Nadal won an incredible 11th French Open title by beating Austrian Dominic Thiem in straight sets. Nadal, 32, won 6-4 6-3 6-2 to earn his 17th Grand Slam on Sunday, putting him three behind Roger Federer’s all-time record. The Spaniard edged an intense opening set, before tightening his grip on the second with an early break of serve. Despite having cramp in the third set he somehow managed to increase the tempo, and 24year-old Thiem in his first major final, had no answer. “It’s a dream to win 11 times,” said Nadal. “I played a great match against a great player. “He is a player who pushes you to the limit.”
The England manager has talked about learning the art of ‘calm leadership’ from Euro ‘96 manager Terry Venables, and has grown visibly in his role. “Pressure is what you perceive it to be and is influenced by what you read and watch,” said Southgate. “We had some guys in from the Marines who had lost limbs. What is the pressure on us?” Southgate has a squad with plenty of youthful enthusiasm, not scarred by previous failures, and one that seems to be growing in confidence. “We are mates going to play in a World Cup, the highlight of everyone’s career,” he added. “It’s fantastic.” Spain meanwhile, tore their way through World Cup qualifying, scoring 36 goals while winning nine out of 10 games. They have also been outstanding in
friendlies, beating Belgium, France, drawing with world champions Germany and smashing Argentina 6-1. Above all, manager Julen Lopetegui has restored the excitement and joy which typified the teams that won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012, and the World Cup in 2010. This can be seen in the speed at which they recover the ball and their desire to keep searching for more goals even when the games have been won. “Most of all I’ve been impressed by the passion of the players to be a team, their desire to use their individual qualities for the collective good,” said Lopetegui. Only 11 players from the squads that flopped over the last four years have made it into the 23-man group, and linchpin Andres Iniesta will want to finish his international career on a high.
Nadal serves up 11th French Open title Nadal’s victory means that the past six Grand Slam titles have been won by either him or Roger Federer, with the next generation of players struggling to break their dominance. Nadal is only the second player in history to win the same Grand Slam 11 times after Margaret Court, who won 11 Australian Open titles between 1960 and 1973. The Spaniard had been the hot favourite to win at Roland
Garros, after warming up with three clay-court titles in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome. Against seventh seed Thiem he was at his destructive best. “What you have done - to win this tournament 11 times - is one of the greatest things in sport,” Thiem said to Nadal afterwards.

Tenacious Thomas claims Dauphine title TEAM Sky’s Geraint Thomas wrapped up arguably the biggest win of his road career on Sunday, claiming victory in the prestigious Criterium du Dauphine. The race is considered a good gauge of form ahead of July’s Tour de France, and represents another boost for British cycling. The two-time Olympic champion, who also has a win at Paris-Nice under his belt, was joined on the podium by Bury’s Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott), who secured second place overall by winning the final stage. Chris Froome’s participation (and victory) in the Giro d’Italia ensured he was absent from this year’s Criterium du Dauphine as he rested up ahead of the tour. Froome, who has won the Dauphine before three of his

Froome’s salbutamol case is resolved before then and the four-time winner is handed a suspension. Either way, it was a huge win for Thomas, who becomes only the fifth British rider to win the event.
JULEN LOPETEGUI was sensationally sacked by Spain yesterday (Wednesday), two days before their opening World Cup match against Portugal. Real Madrid had sprung a surprise by naming him as their new head coach the day before, but this latest twist has flung Spain’s preparations into disarray. Lopetegui was planning to leave his role as national team manager after the tournament in Russia had finished, to take up his new post at the Bernabeu. The Spanish football federation (RFEF) said it had dismissed the 51-year-old because the negotiation occurred ‘without any information to the RFEF.’ Lopetegui has signed a threeyear deal to replace Zinedine Zidane in the Spanish giants’ hotseat, having guided Spain to 14 wins and six draws since taking over in 2016.
SIDELINED: Lopetegui will take no part in Spain’s tournament.

The 33 year-old put the seal on his victory by holing from 171 yards on the 18th fairway for an eagle two. The 2016 US Open champion finished 19 under-par, six shots ahead of Putnam who started with a double-bogey on the first.
Sunday’s victory was the 18th PGA Tour win of Johnson’s career, and his first since the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii in January. Johnson had lost his number one spot to Justin Thomas last month after 64 weeks at the top of the rankings.

FERRARI’S Sebastian Vettel dominated the Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix to retake the Championship lead, with Lewis Hamilton settling for fifth. Vettel converted pole position into a lead at the first corner, and managed to keep Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas at arm’s length throughout the race. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took third after a brave but unsuccessful attempt to pass Bottas through the first two corners. Hamilton started fourth but dropped back a place, leaving him a point behind Vettel with a third of the season gone. In a bizarre end, the chequered flag was waved a lap too early, and Vettel blasted: “Tell them not to wave the flag when it’s not done.” He continued on his way to complete the 70 laps, but the race was declared at 68 laps, based on official count back rules, as a result of the mistake.
