by Matt Ford AN Iranian expatriate has been held on suspicion of drugging a young woman before using a series of sex toys on her. The 38-year-old, who investigators believe suffers from erectile dysfunction, was arrested at his home after the alleged victim, 25, reported him to police. She claimed that he offered to give her a lift after her shift at a Marbella nightspot ended. But in the car he made an excuse about money before driving her to his home, where he talked her into accepting a fruit juice after she refused an alcoholic drink. She began to feel dizzy, be-

Tears flow THE country remains in shock after four women were killed by their partners in Granada, Menorca, Barcelona and Pontevedra (Galicia) in the space of 48 hours over the weekend, sparking a new debate over domestic violence in Spain.
First lady SPAIN’S former vice-president, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, has announced her candidacy to become new leader of the conservative Popular Party, days after ex-president Mariano Rajoy stepped down.
By Matt Ford TWO men including a Charlton Athletic footballer accused of sexually assaulting a British holidaymaker in Ibiza could be forced to stay on the island for weeks. A lawyer acting for forward Reeco Hackett-Fairchild is reportedly trying to change his bail conditions after a Spanish judge ordered him to hand over his passport. But if the appeal fails he and fellow suspect Olusola Odejayi, 26, could face a month-long court battle as they fight to clear their names. Hackett-Fairchild’s team mate Karlan Ahearne-Grant, 20, who was also held in the wake of the allegations, is being probed for a privacy offence but has been allowed to return to the UK. The three were last week arrested after a 19-year-old girl’s parents told police she had been attacked in a Cala de Bou hotel near San Antonio while on a family break. They are believed to have partied at the Ocean Beach club before meeting the unnamed teen and a female friend at a bar, inviting them back to their hotel. Investigators were told that

But it later emerged that the ‘victim’ engaged in a sex act with the player before the alleged attack, after she confessed to “kisses and sexual things” when quizzed in court.
Asked to specify what had occurred by Jaime Campaner, defending, she replied: “Oral sex.” She then said she failed to confirm it in her initial police statement due to nerves, while the men have insisted that what occurred was consensual. The admission came after judge Carmen Robles Zamora earlier described their version of

events as “credible and coherent,” and said there exist “reasonable doubts” that a rape had taken place. She said in a written ruling justifying her decision to grant bail: “Although the victim’s statement has credibility and was made when she was very upset, the report by the forensic doctor does not show any type of injury or even bruising on her thighs and genital area when the victim has stated she was a virgin.” Ahearne-Grant’s phone has been sent to Madrid as police try to recover deleted videos that could prove crucial to the enquiry, and the striker must visit the Spanish Embassy in London twice per month as part of his bail conditions. Hackett-Fairchild has made 12 appearances for Charlton, scoring twice, while AhearneGrant has played for the League One club 69 times, netting seven times. A Charlton Athletic official told UK media: “The club have been made aware and are looking into this matter. Due to the ongoing investigation we will not be commenting any further at this stage.”

Sugar sparks racism storm
THE BIG PICTURE Nº 19

He later deleted the post after first defending himself, calling critics ‘OTT.’
Perv probe A TEACHER who worked at an unnamed Costa del Sol school has been held at his home near Marbella in connection with an international child pornography ring. The gang includes at least 12 members and 80 underage victims forced to appear in sex videos identified in Spain, Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia.
Rock shock BRITISH MPs have been accused of betraying Gibraltar after it was confirmed that Spanish access to the Rock’s airport will be discussed during Brexit negotiations. Junior Brexit minister Robin Walker ’s admission that it is worth “having a discussion” with Madrid on issues “relating to shared economic benefit” reportedly sparked outrage.
€1.6bn fail THE amount of money wasted on still-incomplete or abandoned infrastructure in Malaga Province projects over the last 20 years has been estimated at €1.6 billion by the Association of Spanish Geographers. According to the report, the costliest failed schemes include the Sevilla to Antequera high speed train line and Malaga City’s Metro network.
Death toll THE number of deaths in Spain last year outpaced births by the fastest rate since records began in 1941 as the population fell by 31,245, according to official census data. But Malaga was among the few provinces to gain residents with the large foreign population credited for boosting the total.

SAFE HAVEN: The Aquarius rescue ship became a pawn in Europe’s latest immigration battle.
Defenceless
MIGRANTS rescued from the Mediterranean Sea and turned away by Italy and Malta have been granted 45 days’ special permission to stay in Spain. It comes after humanitarian ship Aquarius and two other vessels docked in Valencia with 630 people, including 123 unaccompanied children and seven pregnant women, aboard. Spain’s new socialist Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, had earlier stepped in to help, insisting his country had a duty to help prevent “a humanitarian catastrophe.” The migrants, who come from 26 countries, had spent eight days at sea after being picked up from overcrowded rubber dinghies off the coast of Libya. “The weather was very bad unfortunately, and the sea was
rough,” said Sophie Beau of aid organisation SOS Mediterranee. “So people are in a bad state... and they are really relieved to come onto safe land at the moment.” Red Cross official Pedro Redon said that the migrants received food and hygiene kits, psychological help and medical assistance, while French President Emmanuelle Macron has pledged his government will help Spain deal with them. The Aquarius sparked a diplomatic row after Italy and Malta argued that the boat fell under the other’s jurisdiction. Valencia mayor Joan Ribo described Italy’s decision to turn the boat away as “inhuman,” before Spain’s Maritime Rescue said it had saved an additional 1,290 people over the weekend alone.

Night of fire IT’S among the year’s most anticipated events. And as the summer solstice approaches, Spain is gearing up to celebrate La Noche de San Juan (St John’s Eve). The annual midsummer party on the shortest night of the year sees Spaniards honour the birth date of San Juan - John the Baptist in English and many parts of the country have their own traditions based heavily on the purifying and cleansing elements of fire and water. In coastal regions revellers tend to head for the beach, constructing hogueras, or bonfires, around which they eat, drink and dance before typically having a midnight ocean dip. Effigies representing Judas Escariot might also be thrown into the flames, while in some areas party-goes make wishes known as juras before leaping through the fire three times and heading for the sea to cleanse their sins for the year ahead. In Cataluña, the Valencian Conmmunity and the Balearics, Saint John is known as Sant Joan and these areas are particularly well-known for
their fireworks displays and special foods like the Coca de Sant Joan cake. Catalans tend to celebrate with correfoc (firerunning) displays and the building of human pyramids dubbed castellers, while in Alicante elaborate figures are burned before the flames are extinguished by firefighters who then soak onlookers in a ritual known as the Banya. And in Ciutadella, Menorca, the party lasts for a week and sees the island’s horses dancing and marching through the crowds who later engage in mock battles using hazelnut shells as weapons. Lanjaron in Granada sees the celebrations descend into a giant water fight, and in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, goat herders bring their animals to the fishing village’s beach before dunking them in the sea. A custom particular to San Pedro Manrique, Castilla y Leon, sees men walking barefoot over hot coals while carrying a woman on their backs. It is a truly magical night and not to be missed.

Death trial ends Alleged hitman drove getaway car AN alleged contract killer has been found guilty of driving a getaway car after an Irish gang member was shot dead on the Costa del Sol. James Quinn, 35, faces 28 years in prison after a nine-person jury ruled that he took part in the murder of 34-year-old Gary Hutch at a gated community in Miraflores, near Fuengirola. State prosecutor Jose Barba called for a 25-year term for his involvement in the killing and three years for possession of illegal weapons, with Judge Ernesto Carlos Manzano likely to confirm the sentence in writing within the next fortnight. The Dubliner displayed no emotion as the unanimous verdict was announced at the end of a four-day trial in Malaga before being led away by police after shaking defence lawyer Pedro Apalategui’s hand. It came after state prosecutor Jose Barba offered a last-minute ‘option B’ indictment that Quinn could have acted as a lookout and getaway driver. The father-of-one was earlier accused of donning a balaclava and lying in wait for more than two hours before shooting the victim 15 times during a chase around a

The jury forewoman said that while they were unable to conclude he was the shooter, a baseball cap with his DNA on it found in a BMW X3 stolen from Mijas and later found torched near Marbella proved him to be a ‘necessary participant’ in the murder. The firearms verdict is related to a 9mm Glock 26 semi-automatic pistol found at his luxury apartment in Benahavis rather than two handguns left in the car. Quinn had earlier in the trial broken a two-year silence to insist that he was lying hung-over in bed with a prostitute when the
NEWS
assassination took place. He was held in September 2016 when his DNA was found on one of two caps recovered from the burned out car after undercover detectives snatched a bottle of water he drank from on a high-speed train while he was under surveillance. 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. Outside the court Mr Apalategui said: “We completely disagree with the verdict and will definitely be appealing once we know the sentence.”
THE summer solstice is celebrated in the UK with the arrival at Stonehenge of Druids and hippies celebrating what is the shortest night of the year. In Spain, a couple of days later, a very similar event takes place but theoretically it’s all about Christianity and the celebration of the feast day of John the Baptist. Hardly anyone living in southern Spain can possibly ignore the excitement and noise of the Noche de San Juan which takes place this Saturday. It’s all about fire and water and certainly harks back to pagan times as bonfires are lit and in many places lanterns are let off on the beach. Fire purifies and water recuperates so the two elements are vital parts of the celebrations which see revellers eating, drinking, dancing and in many cases jumping over bonfires until dawn. If you have the constitution that allows you to join in the fun, then it is a great night out which generally, like many Spanish celebrations, sees little trouble although most towns ensure that the main areas are well policed and that paramedics are on hand. Unlike Britain where we just burn a guy on fireworks night, different towns have some major figures (often satirical images of historical celebrities) produced which are set fire to and there will also be salvos of fireworks to help light up the night sky. If you are shy and retiring, take a sleeping pill and some cocoa and have an early night, alternatively join in the fun and become one with the locals.

His name and brand recognition grew up to a point where his name even appeared on his own exclusive Coca-Cola bottle as a part of the company’s Beijing Olympics campaign. This was led by his smash single Addicted, Serge’s first album,
Wanderer, debuted in June 2009. That’s the single that made him an internationally acknowledged DJ.

by Matt Ford A BRITISH drugs kingpin who built a €1.4 million Costa del Sol mansion has been jailed for 32 years. James Mulvey ‘lived like a ghost’ for seven years after he fled the UK over his role in a €77 million smuggling ring. The 42-year-old from Solihull in the West Midlands used fake names and remained on the move, checking into hotels and paying in cash, sometimes via third parties. He also used mobile phones dubbed ‘burners,’ which he quickly dumped to avoid being traced. Birmingham Crown Court heard how the haulage boss lived a lavish lifestyle, raking in up to €85,000 per week and constructing a villa in Marbella with indoor and outdoor swimming pools plus a cinema. The father-of-five drove luxury cars including Land Rovers and Mercedes and wore Rolex watches while living in five-star hotels, also living in Brazil, Portugal and the Netherlands. At one point he was overheard bragging to a girlfriend: “Listen, no one can control me baby, even me dad and mum will tell ya I’m f***ing nuts.” But the ‘untouchable’ crime lord was eventually tracked down after a covert surveillance operation saw armed police raid his hideout in Lithuania last year. He was cuffed in his underpants at gunpoint and extradited to the UK, and has now been convicted of four conspiracy charges after acting as the ‘linchpin’ of the international plot. Prosecutors added that Mulvey developed a €1,100 per week cocaine habit and set up bogus haulage businesses to import ‘industrial scale’ quantities of drugs from Europe to Britain and Ireland in 2006 and 2007. He fled to Spain when 22kg of cocaine and 392kg of cannabis hidden in metal rollers and worth an estimated €45 million was intercepted

‘BOSS’ BUSTED: James Mulvey was held in Kaunas, Lithuania by a SWAT-style unit. in Belgium 11 years ago. But his children continued to attend private schools in Worcestershire and Somerset. Judge Mark Wall QC said a probe had revealed 14 previous trips connected to his cabal, during which it is believed that up to 5.5 tonnes of cannabis and 300kg of cocaine entered the UK. He later transported the narcotics in mini Harley Davidson motorcycles and inflatable sea scooters. Addressing Mulvey he said: “I treat it as a representative load for the purposes of estimating the total quantity of drugs traded as a result of this conspiracy. “On the evidence presented to me at trial I conclude that the wholesale value of these drugs would have been in the region of at least £17m wholesale and £42m retail for the cocaine, and £60m retail for the cannabis.” The accused smiled at family members as the verdict was read out, as the judge continued: “You were involved in the large-scale importation of these drugs into this country from continental Europe and its onward transportation to Ireland where doubtless it was to be sold at a great profit. “You gave evidence that
you yourself have taken cocaine for many years. “You would have been acutely aware of the misery and ruined lives that this drug brings in its wake.” The National Crime Agency (NCA) said in a statement released in the wake of Mulvey’s arrest that he was traced despite changing his mobile phone on a daily basis and using unregistered SIM cards. Investigators also obtained recordings of him speaking about the murder of his Irish cousin Gerard ‘Hatchet’ Kavanagh, who in 2014 was shot dead on the Costa Del Sol. In one he was heard to say: “When we first started there was four bosses, me, Glasses, him [Kavanagh], who’s just got shot dead, and another kid.” He also spoke of how he feared assassination, saying: “The life I lead, you never know what can happen. I do what I do, people try to kill me.” After the 10-week trial, NCA regional head Andy Quinn said: “Mr Mulvey would classify himself as an iconic, untouchable criminal. “The NCA and its partners have today proven that isn’t the case. “He obviously fled overseas
following the conviction of his criminal associates and again probably thought that out-ofsight, out-of-mind for five years that the NCA would give up. “We never give up on individuals like Mr Mulvey. We have a long memory.” Five accomplices were jailed for a total of 86 years in 2009 for their parts in the plot, including lorry driver Geoffrey Edwards and transport manager Barry Phipps, Mulvey’s right hand man.

Royals top Trump By Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S King Felipe and Queen Letizia have met with US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania at the White House in Washington DC. The political leader received the King and Queen on the South Portico of the Executive Mansion. It was followed by discussions inside where both heads of state praised the other’s country and relations between the United States and Spain. The meeting comes at the end of King Felipe and Queen Letizia’s state visit to the US. Trump said he loved Spain and that the relationship between the two countries was the ‘best’ two states could have. “We were in Spain recently and we love the country. Very special people, a very beautiful country. “Our relationship has been excellent over the years, excellent business relationship and military relationship. The best you can have,” he said. King Felipe said the two
countries shared historical heritage and had many common interests. “There is also a common basic aspect that is the value for democracy,” he said. He also extended an invitation for Trump to visit Spain which former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy had done in September last year. The Spanish King and Queen have been in the US since last Thursday when they arrived at New Orleans before going to San Antonio in Texas. They were joined by Spain’s new foreign minister Josep Borrell who met with counterpart secretary of state Mike Pompeo. The two reportedly held meetings to discuss the US’s recent introduction of tariffs which have hit European goods including Spanish olives. The visit comes as the EU also expressed concern over the introduction of levies on imported steel and aluminium into the US. Trump’s tariffs policy has sparked fears from many that it could result in a tit-for-tat trade war.
DIRTY SEA-CRETS: Revellers on board an anchored cruise liner. by Matt Ford Cannes, Ibiza, Palma de Malheld by police after the boat A SPANISH cruise descended into a ‘drug-fuelled orgy’ after a ship was filmed for a Channel 4 show, passengers have claimed. Holidaymakers say they snorted cocaine, smoked cannabis and took part in raunchy public displays while aboard Vision of the Seas. Revellers were allegedly able to buy a ‘meal deal’ including €300-worth of cocaine, with one telling UK media: “It was easier to get a bag of coke on board than it was to get a drink. It was mad.” Another party-goer dubbed the week-long voyage “carnage on a new level of wrongness” and described how group sex broke out on the “lawless” vessel, adding: “I’m surprised no-one died.” One British passenger was
docked in Cannes, France, while another vomited into the swimming pool and others were seen slumped in corridors after passing out. Thirty-seven-year-old Alicia Morris, who was aboard the cruise, said: “It was like a floating episode of Geordie Shore with drugs and escorts and a police raid or two. “The show was being filmed all the time on the boat, with cameras everywhere.” Travel firm Anchored Cruises - which runs floating festivals aiming to combine party vibes with luxury - reportedly chartered the liner from operator Royal Caribbean, with the mayhem filmed for new fivepart reality series Shipmates. The voyage with up to 2,500 passengers started in Barcelona before taking in

lorca and returning to the Catalan capital. As part of the show, two teams of five people in their 20’s participated in a series of challenges before others on board voted for the winners. Channel 4 producers have insisted the cruise would be “the most Instagrammed event this year.” But passengers alleged that drugs and excessive drinking were rife. One said: “Sometimes you didn’t know if you were on a cruise or in the middle of some drug-fuelled orgy.” And another added: “It was a far cry from the glamorous party cruise it’s advertised to be. It was carnage.” Others revealed that “people were smoking weed,” and “there were big white double
beds around the pool too and I saw people all over each other on them.” A reveller who paid €1,600 for the all-inclusive experience described the experience as “really, really disgusting.” A man who abandoned ship in Ibiza said: “I will never ever again go on such a trashy trip. The crowd was very Geordie Shore. Utter rip off. “I know of drug dealers making an absolute killing and running out as the demand was so high. We left after three days as it was a joke.” Those involved in the show have not been accused of anything illegal. Channel 4 said in a statement: “We cannot comment on the behaviour of other passengers.” Anchored Cruises failed to respond to a comment request.

A WELSH hen party was forced to pay almost €7,000 after their easyJet flight to the Costa del Sol was cancelled. Abi Parker, from Newport, plus the future bride and 18 other friends were set to jet from Bristol to Malaga. But the group was left ‘devastated’ after the low cost carrier cancelled their flight when they were already in the departure lounge. “We were waiting in the departure lounge and the flight had already been delayed for 40 minutes,” said the 32-yearold. “We were then told over the tannoy that the flight had been cancelled. We were escorted out of the departure lounge by the police. “There were only two members of staff dealing with everybody from the flight. “There were children on the floor crying, we didn’t know what to do.” Ms Parker added that two of her friends headed to customer services and were told that the service had been axed because easyJet staff had worked too many hours. “They had been working

But an easyJet official said that if that was the case then the decision would not have been made by the airline. Ms Parker added: “They
told us there were no flights for the next week. “The bride thought the hen do was going to be cancelled. One of the members of staff even turned around and said ‘I hope you’ve got your coats because it’s raining outside.’ “That isn’t what people want to hear when their flight has just been cancelled. “We were basically told to leave the departure lounge, get our suitcases and leave the airport. “In the end, we managed to
get new flights through our travel agent but we had to pay £6,000 for the new flights. “Half of the group had to fly from Stansted and the others from Birmingham and we had to split it onto two credit cards. “easyJet wouldn’t even pay for us to use the computers to search for new flights, we had to keep putting a pound in just to use it. “We had to sleep in the airport until the next day when we were able to travel. We were devastated thinking the holiday was cancelled.” An easyJet official said: “easyJet is sorry that Ms Parker’s flight from Bristol to Malaga on Thursday May 31 was cancelled due to a crew welfare issue. “easyJet did everything possible to minimise the disruption for our passengers and contacted passengers via email - including the lead passenger in Ms Parker’s group providing advice on how to transfer their flight or receive a refund, as well as instructions on how to book hotel accommodation. “easyJet has been in touch with Ms Parker to apologise for any inconvenience caused and to arrange for her party’s expenses to be reimbursed.”
ham A COSTA DEL SOL ham firm has sparked outrage in northern Spain. It comes after deposed Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, currently under arrest in Germany, announced he is suing Malaga-based wholesaler Pig Demont for causing ‘offence and aggravation,’ claiming its logo is an ‘unauthorised caricature’ in a statement issued by his legal team. But company boss Alberto Gonzalez insists that ‘humour is fundamental in life and in

EXCLUSIVE by Matt Ford A BRITISH homeowner has spoken of his outrage after an expatriate neighbour ’s ‘illegal zoo’ made his life in Almeria impossible. Former Land Rover project manager David Dibble, 60, bought a house in El Chopo, Arboleas with wife Mandy 15 years ago, and the couple have since spent around six months per year there. But five years ago the British owners of the adjoining property sold to a German man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and it was then that the problems started for the pair from Lichfield, Staffordshire. “It’s horrendous, we can’t sunbathe out back and we can’t hang our washing out at the front due to the putrid smell,” explained David, speaking exclusively with Euro Weekly News. “The noise is terrible, we are often woken in the middle of the night, and the place is infested by rats which run through our garden chased by stray cats attracted by the food.” I have had two heart attacks in the past and the stress is causing me to feel very unwell. “He started building pens just after moving in, normally on a Friday afternoon when the local council is shut, and he’s just put up a

TRIBUTES have been paid to an Irish teenager Jack Walsh who died after plummeting from a Santa Ponsa hotel balcony. A triplet with two sisters, the 19-year-old from Askeaton, Co Limerick, had flown to Mallorca to meet friends after finishing his exams. He is thought to have fallen 12 metres while trying to drop from the fifth floor to a balcony below and spent several days on life support at Palma’s Son Espases Hospital in the wake of the accident. Parents Tony and Sandra made the decision to switch off machines keeping him alive after sisters Tara and Orla travelled to the island to say goodbye. Sandra later posted on Facebook: ‘Our lives will never be the same, the support we have received as a family has been amazing and is a true reflection of what a wonderful young man Jack turned out to
be. ‘Jack ticked the donor box on his learner licence and it is a comfort knowing people are alive today as a result of Jack’s tragic accident. ‘Thanks to everyone for all the kind words and wishes. Your support is really appreciated at this sad time. ‘Our hearts are broken.’ Jack had been working as an apprentice at an electrical firm and his manager Frank McGovern called him a ‘lovely young fella,’ adding that his workmates were ‘very broken up.’ Francis Sheehan, Secretary of Askeaton AFC, described Jack as a ‘key player’ in their youth football sides. “Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his parents, and his sisters,” he added. And one local added: “It is just heartbreaking for the whole community.” Police in Mallorca continue to probe the accident.

Franc discussion by Joe Gerrard NEW Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez has backed proposals to remove former dictator Francisco Franco’s body from Madrid’s Valley of the Fallen monument. Sanchez said in an interview with a Spanish television news programme he also wanted to convert the mausoleum into a national monument commemorating the fight against fascism. The basilica was built to house the former dictator’s remains and those who died in the Spanish Civil War. “After 40 years this debate has led us to a very simple reflection, Spain cannot allow symbols that divide the Spanish,” he said. The Francisco Franco foundation, an organisation which promotes the former dictator’s legacy, said on Twitter any changes to the mausoleum would ‘demolish’ reconciliation achieved after the conflict. “It is not just about tearing down the tomb of General Franco. The aim is to bring down an exercise in reconciliation between the two Spains,” the foundation said. Sanchez’s PSOE has suggested modifying what was a proposed change to Historical Memory Laws to recognise victims on both sides of the civil war. The party said these could be changed into a draft bill which would allow for the transfer of

NEW PM: Sanchez (inset) has vowed to convert the Valley of the Fallen. Franco’s remains among other measures. The PSOE’s current lack of a majority in Spain’s parliament would mean they would need to count on the support of other parties to get the measures passed. Iñigo Errejon, from the left wing Podemos party, said a majority of lawmakers would back the proposals. “The thing that turns the Valley of the Fallen into a centre for the glorification of genocide and repression is the fact that the remains of Franco are still there. Can you imagine something similar on the outskirts of Berlin?” he said. Andrea Levy, from the conservative Partido Popular (PP), said the PSOE was looking to provoke confrontation with the proposals. “They are looking for cultural battles,” she said. The Valley of the Fallen, in the Sierra de Guadarrama near Madrid, was officially opened in April 1959. It is controversial as around 10 per cent of those who built it were convicts including political prisoners, among other reasons.

Raising the bar Beach horror plunge BUDGET airline Ryanair has called for tighter restrictions on airport alcohol sales, including a booze ban before 10am. It comes after a flight from Dublin to Ibiza was forced to land in Paris when three members of a ‘drunk’ party of 20 became disruptive and were led off the plane by French police at Beauvais airport. The captain apologised to other passengers, which he said included children, after the groups’ rowdy behaviour sparked a two-hour 40-minute delay, and added that the culprits had been drinking at Dublin airport. Ryanair official Ryan Kiely said afterwards: “We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority. “This is now a matter for local police.” He added: “the incident is exactly why we are calling for significant changes to prohibit
the sale of alcohol at airports, such as a two-drink limit per passenger and no alcohol sales before 10am. “It is incumbent on the airports to introduce these preventative measures to curb excessive drinking and the problems it creates, rather than allowing passengers to drink to excess before their flights.” The airline added: “It’s completely unfair that airports can profit from the unlimited sale of alcohol to passengers and leave the airlines to deal with the safety consequences.” The Irish carrier is now reportedly warning travellers at the start of flights they could be fined more than €2,000 if they drink alcohol bought in duty free on board. Low-cost rival easyJet has also joined the calls to ban duty free alcohol from flights, after three women believed to be erotic dancers earlier this year triggered a mid-air punch-up after downing vodka.

Chief Inspector Phil Spurgeon, of Greater Manchester Police’s Bury Borough, said: “Our investigation remains in its early stages but I can confirm that from the information we have we are treating this as a targeted attack, and there is not believed to be any wider threat to the community.” Mr Strong was in 2014 jailed with three others as the leader of a gang setting up a drugs factory in a detached house in nearby Radcliffe. His associates Damian Vose, 38, from Radcliffe, was handed a 32-month jail term while Paul Cuthbert, 45, from Bury, and Daniel Pinder, 33, from Manchester, each received 30-month sentences.

They bought barrels of chemicals to produce the drugs and the property was raided when Mr Strong flew in from Spain to oversee the process. He tried to escape after vaulting a fence, but was caught after a foot chase. Evidence seized included presses and a vacuum-packing machine, while more presses were unearthed at stables belonging to Mr Strong in Prestwich, before raw chemicals were found at his Alicante villa. Properties and a yacht he owned were also taken possession of during the swoops. A serious crime prevention order was issued in his name following his release from prison in a bid to restrict his movement and place limits on the number of mobile phones and other devices he was allowed to own. He must also advise the authorities ahead of any trip abroad and is banned from carrying more than £3,000 in cash.

Spy claims probed INVESTIGATORS in Belgium are set to probe claims that Spain may have used agents and GPS technology to track former President of Cataluña Carles Puigdemont. Comite R, Belgium’s intelligence services watchdog, has set the investigation in motion at the request of right-wing Parliament member Peter Buysrogge according to the country’s media. “I want to know whether an intervention of the Spanish intelligence or security services has taken place on our territory,” Buysrogge said. He added he also wanted the probe to establish
whether or not any spying took place with the knowledge of his country’s intelligence authorities. Buysrogge is a member of the separatist Flemish Alliance (N-VA) party. He has previously expressed sympathy with Puigdemont’s efforts to lead Catalan out of Spain which culminated in last year’s independence referendum and declaration. Puigdemont fled to Belgium after Spanish authorities charged him with rebellion and corruption over the referendum. He is currently in Germany awaiting a court decision on whether to allow his extradition.

Deadly cocktail Brit died of alcohol poisoning by Staff Reporter A BRITISH holidaymaker died from alcohol poisoning after a Canary Islands pub crawl. NHS pharmacy worker Paula Bishop, 37, was found dead in her hotel room after she accidentally drank too much wine and beer on the first day of her break with husband of 11 years Stuart, an enquiry heard. The couple from Ince-inMakerfield, near Wigan in Greater Manchester, headed out for the pub crawl in Fuerteventura soon after their arrival. Mrs Bishop drank ‘a few small beers,’ two small glasses of wine and four Irish coffees around 15 units of alcohol equivalent to seven pints of lager - and died from heart failure triggered by the ‘acute alcohol toxicity.’ Mr Bishop told the court in Bolton that he had no recollection of her being excessively drunk or unsteady on her feet as she went to bed on October 20 last year.

Her legs had changed colour. “I ran down to the reception area straight away and brought up a night time security guard who then alerted paramedics. “When I first looked at her, I thought straight away that she had passed away and my automatic reaction was to get help. I shook her and tried to speak to her but got nothing. Paramedics attended and tried resuscitation but she could not be saved. “Her death came as an enormous shock - she was a wonderful person who was full of life and will be greatly missed by her friends and family.”
A Spanish toxicologist said that Mrs Bishop had four grammes of alcohol per litre of blood in her system, while Dr Naveen Sharmaat from Whiston Hospital in Liverpool said the level was “fatally toxic.” Recording a verdict of alcohol related death, coroner Tim Brennand added: “Death has arisen because of a single acute overdose of alcohol on a single day on holiday rather than over a long period of time - and I make clear there is no history of alcohol abuse.” He added: “The real tragedy here is that it may well have been that both she and perhaps her husband and partner in life did not appreciate the amount of alcohol taken. “This is the tragedy of this particular case.”

Isle of bite 8-foot shark sparks panic by Staff Reporter THIS is the hair-raising moment that an eight-foot shark terrified sun-seekers on a Spanish beach. The appearance of the giant predator sparked panic as tourists screamed “it’s coming” while lifeguards hoisted red flags to stop people swimming at Arenal d’en Castell in Es Mercadal, Menorca. Believed to be a blue shark, the fish stayed in the area for several hours before returning to deeper water. Bathers were not allowed to enter the water for the rest of the afternoon. In the video footage, one beachgoer is heard to say in English: “It’s coming. Oh my God, I think it’s dead.” A w o m a n t h e n r e p l i e s “ N o , i t ’s n o t dead,” as others shriek in the background, before adding: “Every time we go to the beach something happens.” Dozens of those gathered at the shoreline of the sandy strip - half an hour from island capital Mahon and popular with British holidaymakers - recorded the animal on their mobile phones. Town mayor Francesa Ametller said it had not behaved aggressively and said the

On European wills Costa Luz Lawyers By María L. de Castro Lawyer. Director. Costaluz Lawyers
ON August 17, 2015, a European Regulation on inheritance law came into force. This regulation allows European citizens to choose for their inheritance to be regulated by either country of residence or country of nationality. Therefore if you are currently a Spanish resident but you have a different nationality that will provide you with better conditions for your heirs, you can choose this by simply stating it in your will. This came into effect in 2015 along with the European Certificate of Succession (ECS). This document has been designed to make international probate procedures easier in Spain as it will be a
valid title to enter the land registry. As a result of this legislation those EU nationals residing in Spain will need to have a Spani sh wi l l i f t hey deci de t o choose their country as the country that will govern their inheritance affairs after they die. You can also opt to have a Spanish title of will with regards to your assets in Spain. This does not mean that Spain will govern your inheritance, this is simply a tool to make probate easier. Testators can either specify properties or assets to be destined to specific individuals, or simply make a general statement on who their heirs are. Under Spanish law it is also possible to designate one or more people to deal with the inheritance as executors. You can also appoint guardians if there are minor children. It should also be noted that the will is always revocable which means you can change it at any time.

How much mortgage can I get? Mortgage Expert by Sara
WHEN looking to buy a property in Spain, securing a mortgage would probably be one of the first steps in the process for most people. Bank in Spain is a mortgage broker specialised in expats and international clients buying a house in the sun. “‘How much mortgage can I get?’ is normally the first question we get,” Sara Stannard says. She works as a British Client Advisor in the mortgage broker, Bank in Spain, specialised in expats and international clients buying their holiday home in Spain. “The maximum you can get in a mortgage, would be 70 per cent of the purchase price excluding taxes and fees. “The best conditions you get are on mortgages up to around 60 per cent of the purchase price.” Sara continues, “Different from the UK, Spanish banks do not include the costs related to buying a property nor the costs related
to taking out a mortgage. For several years after the financial crisis, many Spanish banks were reluctant to offer new mortgages. This has now changed and the banks are once again open for lending out money. “We are not yet back to the mortgage boom we saw before 2008, but now the competition is fierce between the banks on good mortgages,” she continues. The number of mortgages signed in Spain has seen a steady increase since 2014. Only in 2017, the increase was close to 10 per cent as compared to the previous year. Despite this increase, we are still a long way from the mortgage boom of 10 years ago. According to the Spanish National Statistics office, the number of mortgages signed in 2017 was only a mere 25 per cent of the mortgages signed in 2007 - at the top of the boom. The conditions offered to expats vary surprisingly between the banks, but in some areas they are similar. Interest-only mortgages and 100 per cent mortgages are a thing of the past. “Currently, 100 per cent mortgages are only offered on certain bank repossessions with no option of selecting the lender.”
HARES AND HOUNDS: Organisers hope to build on last year’s event which was a huge success.
Running in red MIJAS HASH HOUSE HARRIERS will be hosting their fundraising Red Dress Run on July 22. This year, the group is raising money for the AVOI Charity, which is based in the Children’s Oncology Hospital in Malaga. AVOI (Association of Volunteers of Children’s Oncology) aims to make the hospital stay of children and their family as pleasant as possible. All money raised will go towards a new Bone Marrow Transplant wing in the hospital
so a parent or guardian will be able to stay near to their child during their ordeal. This is a huge goal for AVOI and they hope to make a significant dent in the total they need to raise. The walk will leave from Malaga Port at 2pm. Before the walk begins there will be freshly cooked paella available from 1pm. Once the charity walk begins at 2pm it will weave its way through the streets of Malaga with volunteers shaking cans and singing as they
collect donations. There will be snacks and refreshments for all participants en route. The fee to take part in the event is €5, with all proceeds going to charity. The Hash House Harriers (HHH or H3) is part of an international group of non-competitive running social clubs. If you would like to sponsor the event or get involved please call 639 851 773. Remember, all participants for the run must be in dressed in red, and ‘yes’ that includes the men!

S the sun beat down on my back and beads of sweat rolled from beneath my racing green helmet and into my eyes, I was close to packing in my trip along one of Spain’s most iconic Vias Verdes. Having not passed another soul for at least an hour, the early summer sun was starting to send my mind spinning. But as the burn in my thighs became almost unbearable I picked my head up from the handlebars and was instantly reminded why I had ditched four wheels for two. With the sun dipping behind the mountains along Cadiz’s Via Verde de la Sierra, the sky lit up in a fantastic pink and the sunflower fields either side of the disused rail track gently swayed with me in the breeze. For while there was more than one moment when I would rather have been comfortably sat on one of Spain’s high-speed trains, taking in the country’s disused rail network on bike - or foot - is a far more rewarding experience. For the uninitiated, the Via Verdes are a series of disused train lines which have been converted into hiking and cycling paths. In total, 2,700km of disused rail tracks cut through Spain’s countryside like Moses parting the Red Sea (I confess I have only conquered one route and it was only 36km, although I did go to one end and then back again). At points it feels unnatural that a train track ever ran through such verdant and beautiful scenery - it
A
25 years of Vias Verdes definitely beats the view of suburban gardens that used to greet my London commute. And, in fact, many of the routes never did see trains trundle the tracks in the first place. Constructed during the Civil War, many thousands of kilometres of track were laid and the stations erected, but in many cases the trains were just a pipe dream that never came to roost. For the routes that were once in use, this year marks 25 years since the trains stopped rolling over their tracks after they fell into disrepair and were forgotten about. Most of the old lines have now lost their rails, however old rail sign posts and signals occasionally point to the pathways’ forgotten pasts. In total there are 123 routes of varying length and difficulty. While most are flat - requiring no technical skill or bulging leg muscles some are lengthy and thus are more

Spain’s Vias Verdes turn silver Green with energy As Spain’s extensive cycling and walking network, the Vias Verdes, celebrates its 25th anniversary, David Noon takes to the saddle to find out what makes the country’s greenways so special.
Pont de les 7 llunes, Alcoy.
Beginning of the line A TRAIN never travelled on the Jerez-Almargen railway line in Malaga. However the pet project of dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera sparked off the Vias Verdes movement. Spanning 36 kilometres with 30 tunnels cutting through the rocky Andalucian terrain, the Jerez-Almargen route kicked off a revolution. It is the oldest greenway in Spain and currently plays host to around 300,000 tourists every year. Organisers of the scheme have said that without the publicity around the abandoned route, the concept of Vias Verdes may have never been born. “The line was surrounded in controversy,” Vía Verde de la Sierra Foundation manager María Jiménez says. “There had never even been a train there. It is now a greenway and the people of the area are now proud of it.” So while a train may have never plundered the tracks, Spain’s proud greenway network may never have come to fruition if it wasn’t for the Jerez-Almargen rail route.
98 old railway stations converted into hotel, cafes and restaurants suited to hard core walkers or cyclists. Mopeds, cars and any other form of motorised vehicle are banned from the paths, making it safe and secure for families to venture out for a gentle meander. Along the way, guest houses, restaurants and cafes offer respite for those in need of some much-deserved R&R. In total 98 old railway stations have been restored as rural hotels, restaurants, cafés, rent-a-bike points, office information and small museums. But where today stands a buzzing community of outdoor thrillseekers and rural tourists, once stood abandonment and utter desolation: the decaying remains of formerly romanticised railway lines that tore across the country were an ugly stain dripped across Spain’s rural countryside.

SPAIN: Has 123 cycling/ walking routes.
UNUSED TRACKS: Waiting to be used. However, in 1993 the Fundación Ferrocarriles Españoles (FFE) presented its Inventory of Disused Railway Lines in Gijón. The report compared Spain’s unused railway lines and compared it to its European neighbours in France, Belgium and the UK. It concluded that nowhere else on the continent had so many unused routes carving their way through the country, waiting to be used. Spain literally had thousands of kilometres of ready-made cycling, pedestrian and horseback routes lying in wait. It was an opportunity that could not be missed, and thankfully it wasn’t. A quarter of a century later, Spain has culti-
Cycling the Via Verde de la Sierra MOST people start the trip in the village of Olvera and cycle to Puerto Serrano and then back up again. Bikes can be rented from Sesca which is situated at the start of the route. Children’s seats and separate carts are also available, for those taking the kids out and prices tend to very reasonable. It is worth bearing the terrain in mind before you set off. If starting and returning to Olvera, your return journey will be uphill, so expect the thighs to burn on your return. There are no mega hills or mountains to conquer, but the gradient is steady and more importantly long… so may pose a problem for younger or less-experienced cyclists. There are options for shorter distances along the route. It is possible to start in Coripe and pick up the route there. All in all, it is a fantastic route and there are various options to conquer it on your own, with a partner or with the entire family.
vated more than 2,700km of lost tracks, reviving 123 cycling and walking routes. And it has given the country an added tourist attraction away from the coastal areas fuelling an economic revival in some of the country’s more secluded towns and villages. In a report examining the Economic Impact of Cycle Tourism in Europe, it highlighted that 42 per cent of European travellers seek adventure tourism. And Spain’s towns and cities have benefited from the Vias Verdes, with cycle-mad locals and tourists taking their bikes and hiking boots around the country in search of tranquility. As Irish expat and cycling enthusiast David Murray explains “nothing beats the Spanish countryside. “I want to complete the entire Via Verde network by the time I’m 40,” Murray tells me at a cafe along the Cadiz route. “I’m 36 now and I have done around 1,000 kilometres of the routes so far. “Hopefully they won’t build too many more before I get to 40.” He added: “I love coming out on these routes on my bike. I take the children out on the one near our home and every time I visit a different part of Spain I make sure I check out the nearest Via Verde.

Extreme makeovers AS well as taking in the breathtaking scenery and the sheer overwhelming vastness of Spain’s outback, the Via Verde routes also contain a catalogue of architectural triumphs. In total 98 former stations have been given a face lift and turned into everything from cafes and restaurants to cycle pick up points and even hotels. Just two decades ago many of these buildings were left destitute and strewn across Spain’s countryside, yet today they have been transformed to their former glory and are among the country’s more charming and quirky spots. Here are four of the best examples:

“It is a great idea but I think more could be done to publicise the routes. They are usually full of locals, but I think there is a massive potential to attract even more tourists than they currently do. “I had never heard of the routes before I had moved here.” In Cadiz, along the Via Verde de la Sierra, some 40 jobs have been directly created along the route. It is a similar story along the 123 spanning from Girona to Costa Brava and across Andalucia. And that is just why the Vias Verdes scheme continues to thrive and continues to receive public support. In total more than €177 million has been invested into the scheme from central and local government. In total, some 5,000 kilometres of abandoned railway lines remain untapped and are being eyed up by the organisers of the scheme. So while the Vias Verdes organisers may be celebrating its silver anniversary the future of Spain’s greenways most certainly looks golden.

The move suggests a less restrictive approach to spending following years of austerity measures by the country’s conservative People’s Party, which was ousted after six years in government in the wake of corruption allegations. Pensions have since 2014 risen by a below-inflation annual rate of 0.25 per cent. But Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s socialist PSOE party tweeted: “Now the right must allow that all pensions rise with inflation, also in times of crisis.”

UK religious channel fined SPAIN’S National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) has fined a British Christian broadcaster €6,000 for ‘homophobic’ remarks made on a breakfast show. The comments on Revelation TV’s discussion show Rmornings “could be considered as threatening to the dignity of the homosexual and transgender group, although there was no manifest incitation to hate against these groups by the channel that owns the programme,” said the written ruling. But channel director Gordon Pettie
by Matt Ford said an appeal had been lodged in the wake of the verdict, which followed complaints sent to the CNMC over the words of a British evangelical pastor on the subject of transgender children. He said on the show: “We are going to create a political party or join a party to change this madness. “We are going to have to do this, because if we don’t, we will have Sodom and Gomorrah at our doorsteps, where they are going to tell you: we want to get hold of those men in there and we
want to sleep with them and there’s nothing you can do about it. “I have girls for you... no, we want those guys.” Revelation TV has a history of sparking outrage over its views on homosexuality and has previously been reported to UK regulator Ofcom. The 24-hour low-budget channel was started by husband-and-wife duo Howard and Lesley Conder in 2003, and is now mostly produced at a converted underground car park in Cala de Mijas on the Costa del Sol.

An official said in a statement: The decision by the United States Department of Commerce to impose unreasonably high and prohibitive duties anti-subsidy and anti-dumping duties on Spanish olives is simply unacceptable. “This is a protectionist measure targeting a high-quality and successful EU product popular
with US consumers.” The move follows an investigation that found olives from Spain were being sold below their fair value and boosted by subsidies. The import duties have not yet been confirmed but are set to be approved by the US International Trade Commission in July, at which point the commission would reportedly consider further action.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT AND so, it begins. It should come as no surprise to anyone that one of the first pledges by Sajid Javid, the UK’s new Home Secretary, is to declare war on Theresa May’s immigration policies. After all, how dare she follow the will of most of the electorate and come down hard on all those poor unfortunate immigrants! In his opening gambit Mr Javid has vowed to introduce a major relaxation on immigration laws and to ease the cap on foreign medical staff. This of course gives him the excuse that he is simply doing it because the NHS is so seriously short of health workers (which it probably wouldn’t be if the facilities weren’t so snowed under with immigrants!). This holier than thou façade is merely an opening gambit. If you delve a little deeper, you’ll find he is also considering no longer including students in the immigration figures, reinstating legal aid for ‘most’ immigration cases; which means the public will once again be laying out untold millions to the leeching lawyers and their bleating clients. And, wait for it, suspending the rule
FEATURE
‘The mind truly does boggle’ that illegal immigrants can’t open a bank account! What!? Yep you ‘eard. All those poor immigrants in the country illegally, will once again be allowed to open bank accounts (I didn’t realise there was a time when they actually could!). What are they going to deposit in them? All the begged, black or stolen taxfree money they’ve managed to accrue during their time on the run from the authorities? The mind truly does boggle. Anyway, back to the foreign medical worker plans. Any new immigration laws will of course include the families. Just how far down the family line are those to be included? Aunts? Uncles? Grans and Grandads? Cousins? Bit of a grey area that (natch). Another worry is of course the standard of training of those brought in. A somewhat disquieting figure to mull over is the fact, that over the last five years, of the 669 health workers struck off or suspended, 420 had been trained abroad. This figure was released by the UCL when the GMC were, yes, you’ve guessed it, accused of racism when marking the test results. The grim truth
UNBIASED? Sajid Javid.
of the matter is, that according to a major study, at least half of those applying to work in the UK would not have the level of skills required because the competency exam is too easy. Who’s going to sort out all that ‘wheat and chaff’? When researching this information, I found it all a bit cloak and dagger to actually find any lists of those who had committed major medical mistakes, but the few I did manage to dig out sported names such as Ahluwalia, Narayana, and Abdullah. Errors included tools left inside the body, treating the wrong patient air bubbles and language problems. Can the UK’s illustrious new ‘unbiased’ Home Secretary reassure the public that this great new influx of immigrant health workers will be trained to the highest of standards, and not an incompetent bunch of dangerous second raters, let loose on an unsuspecting public simply to make Mr Javid more popular with his peers? Or, even more likely, a contender for Mrs May’s position? Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Sun, sea and a three pack of razors for me? TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis I CAN’T do any TV reviewing this week until I mention Love Island (ITV2, all day, every day), so here goes. The contestants need to put some clothes and some sun cream on, I don’t care in what order. They need to remember that a beach-ready body is all well and good, but chances are none of them will have 28-inch waists in a few years’ time. And when did younger guys start shaving everything, no I mean everything?? I clearly missed that memo. I will try not to mention the show again. Promise. After what must have been a very long year wait for fans of the show, Poldark is back for a fourth season (BBC1, Sunday). There are 10 episodes in the latest run and I’m sure we are in for numerous treats from Ross and Co.
ISLE BE DAMNED: The omnipresent Love Island cast. Amongst others, you can look forward to Ross and Demelza reconnecting after her affair last time around. I’m not sure I want Ross to be that forgiving if I’m honest, I mean, who does her hair? And is anyone else fed up of Hugh’s poetry writing? Poor Hugh is bent double with the weight of his love for Demelza but doesn’t seem to understand that in his case, the bottle would clearly be mightier than the pen. If you watched last week, how did you cope with the vicar toe sucking
scene? OK, we had George’s reaction to not winning the election and for those inclined, Ross in the bathtub, but a man in Holy Orders sucking toes - give me a moment, not feeling too well... I’m back, but really, I will never look at the Vicar of Dibley in the same way again. This week Ross makes his maiden speech in Parliament, just don’t object to anything involving up-frocking will you Mr Poldark? Monday night saw England’s first match in the World Cup, with BBC1
TOE-TAL TURNOFF: Poldark. grabbing the football audience. I settled down to watch a much plugged special of Vera (ITV) only to realise after a few short minutes that this special was a repeat and as much as I love Brenda Blethyn calling anyone who will listen ‘pet,’ I knew the ending and turned over to watch Love Island. Actually I didn’t, but I could have done.
But because Brenda was repeating herself on ITV, I stumbled across The Family Farm (BBC2, Mondays and Thursdays) and thought it deserved a mention. The format is slightly predictable, three families who blame taking part in the show on their concern about the kids not getting enough exercise (I suspect the real reason has something to do with multiple upcoming mid-life crises) who swap clean and sterile lives to live in yurts and experience something of the harsh realities of life as farmers. The first show had injured lambs, backing away from actually handling the animals (me too, all that muck and filth) and one of the dads loving the whole thing so much, he was working out how many sheep he could fit in his garden (remember those pending midlife crises I mentioned earlier?). An upcoming episode takes a look at smaller-scale boutique pig farming. I have no idea what boutique pig farming is. The mind boggles, but we will find out more next week. Brace yourselves. Happy viewing.

TECH FOR THE TIMID FIVE years ago the EU fined Microsoft an eye-watering €561 million for doing a Harvey Weinstein with its browser: forcing itself on users whether they wanted it or not. Until the mid-90’s Bill Gates didn’t believe the internet would be a big deal. Once he saw the light all hell broke loose in the socalled Browser Wars. Automatically installing Internet Explorer with Windows quickly killed-off the most popular browser of the time, Netscape Navigator (ah, memories…). Few but the geekiest of users would bother to look for an alternative, so like Topsy it just grew and grew despite its glaring flaws. Apple users chugged along happily with their Safari browser, while for Windows it took a whole decade for a worthy rival to emerge: Firefox. Firefox begat Opera which begat Chrome which begat any number of weird and wonderful browser names: Maxthon, SeaMonkey, Camino, Vivaldi, Otello,

Beware of how you browse Terence Kennedy practises safe surfing as the browser wars rage
BROWSER HISTORY: Gone but not forgotten? Chromium, SlimJet... Now late and unlamented, Internet Explorer spawned Microsoft Edge currently bundled with Windows 10. Originally barely fit-forpurpose, it is getting better. So what should you download and use for the best-possible internet experience in 2018? Google’s Chrome has by far today’s highest usage (57 per cent). One great new incentive is the automatic ad-blocker included
since February as a result of public pressure and the millions of us installing those third-party ad blockers which deprive websites of their revenue. The new Chrome’s promise is to weed out the web’s most annoying ads, full-page ads, ads with autoplaying sound and video and flashing ads. Apple’s Safari browser has followed suit. Opera is built on the Chrome ‘engine’ so will ultimately also comply, and
Why am I so grumpy? Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WAS sitting having a cup of coffee with a pal of mine and his missus when his phone pinged and he says to me, ‘Oh, there’s someone at my front door.’ What? How would you know that? He then proceeded to show me this app on his phone which films whoever rings the bell or even goes near it. Live! My initial reaction was that’s a handy little App but after a few more pings I realised it’s actually not what it appears to be. It’s sold as a security device so you can see who is hanging around your front door or ringing the doorbell. That’s fine when you are away or out. Or, you might install it in your old mum or dad’s place. But his pings again and he says so and so has just gone out and then it pings again and he tells me his neighbour next door has just gone out. Whoa, hold on, this is now becoming a CCTV device that is almost spying on members of your own household. It’s tracking what time they come in or out 24/7 and to be honest I’m not comfortable with that. I don’t want my neighbour tracking what time I’m coming in or going
out. I think that before you install one of these devices you should have the permission of all the people that it covers - although obviously not the burglars! But it’s like so many things these days - it starts off as a good idea then turns into just another intrusion into my life. Right, next! Actually I just thought of something - this is the 139th article I’ve written and people say to me how can you be grumpy about so many things? Well actually it’s quite easy because everyday somebody does something or says something that starts me off. Every time I get in the car, walk the dog, or go out to eat I get grumpy. Every time I turn on the news there is a topic that gets me going like Trump or Brexit. It’s not only me. Whenever I sit down with somebody that knows I write this column or when I’m on the Talk Radio Europe show, I get told of all the things that make them grumpy too. Or the emails I get - I think in the nearly three years that I’ve been doing this I’ve only had a couple of people disagree with me and, to be honest, one of them is a dickhead who argues for the sake of it. Now I’m grumpy because I’ve run out of my allotted word count so my other subject will have to wait till next week! mikesenker@gmail.com
the domino effect continues down the line as the empire fights back and may the force be with them. Yet since Edward Snowden and now the Cambridge Analytica scandal, many of us are wary of revealing more of our browsing habits to the digital giants like Google and Apple. Of course we all know (don’t we?) that there’s a button under the History icon in our browsers which lets us delete our recent history. But the bad news is that even this won’t zap the overall record held of every single site you’ve ever visited, ever, back at Google’s HQ. For that you need DuckDuckGo - not a new KFC special, but a browser for the dark side. Funded by independent donations, it has now notched up some 16 billion private searches, none of them tracked. Remember it the next time you hit the porn sites from your family computer - for medical research purposes only, naturally.

Web-wary INCOGNITO is an interesting new response to our growing concerns about being tracked online, and most browsers now offer an ‘Incognito Mode.’ But it’s still not a foolproof way to stay anonymous. A VPN can help - a Virtual Private Network, connected to so-called proxy servers to protect your identity and your data. Available to anyone for a modest fee, it’s still not a magic bullet for guaranteeing our privacy, but it can help by encrypting our data, bypassing (some) official censorship systems and more. VPNs are also popular among Britpats here for fooling location-restricted services like the BBC’s iPlayer into unlocking UK-only content. At the end of the day however, there’s only one way to stay truly anonymous these digital days. It’s called pen and paper.

British courts may use ‘contempt’ to bypass jury HI Leapy What concerns me about Tommy Robinson having his collar felt by the boys in blue, is that this course of action, under the heading of ‘Due to contempt of Court’ is being conducted following instruction by judges. They have been advised by ‘Me Learned Friends’ and perhaps a high ranking officer from HM Police Force (maybe Special Branch), in a closed court, with no defence council, in this case, representing Robinson, and more worrying to your scribe, no jury present. A colleague, still serving in the West Midlands Force, tells me that this imprisonment ‘Procedure,’ acted through the ‘Contempt of Court’ ruling is taking place on a regular basis. I’m sure something that the general public may not aware of. The not so small end, in my book, of a very dangerous wedge. Mind how you go! Robert W Barnes, Campoverde
HAVE YOUR SAY
HAVING recently returned from our annual holiday in Mallorca, I feel I must put pen to paper regarding the 100 per cent increase in the tourist tax. We had to pay more than €70, (that we hadn’t budgeted for as there was no mention of it), and it was left to the receptionists to tell guests what the government wanted, and to collect the money! We spoke to many holidaymakers who come back year after year as we do and they were unanimous in saying they won’t be coming back until the tax is reduced or even scrapped. This will lead to job losses and more hotel/apartments closures. We noticed several businesses closed whilst we were there. The Balearic government need to stop burying their heads in the sand,

Tourist tax will damage the economy
TOURISTS: Help to fuel the Mallorca economy. the tax is not well received at all and to spend €120 million on trees and signposts is not doing anything for the tourists who are paying it! Why not start by repairing and maintaining the dreadful pavements on which there are many accidents, and take into account that when we come on holiday we spend an enormous amount of money without having to pay the extra taxes that we receive no benefit from at all? Greed will be their downfall as had and is still happening all over the world. From someone who has been a regular visitor to Mallorca, but sadly most unlikely any more. Susie, UK

Police warn Brits heading to Magaluf Magaluf is a brilliant place with great restaurants, beautiful beaches and some amazing bar owners. Unfortunately we also have a few unscrupulous bar owners and mugging prostitutes. Stay together, leave credit cards and mobiles in hotel safe, don’t go for the wrist band drink crap deal. Buy and pay extra for brand drinks and bottles and enjoy yourselves. Remember to eat as well as drink. Elizabeth Dobson Well said Elizabeth, it is a good place, everywhere you go has problems, not just Magaluf. Margaret Donnelly Best defence is not to get drunk and make yourself a target. Jenny Dodd
Benidorm plans to fine hoverboard users Can we do it in Nerja as well? I once seen an employee of the company that rents them out in Nerja riding one while pulling another one behind her though the streets of Nerja expecting pedestrians just to get out of her way or get hit.

Comments from EWN online and should be fined if they are abusing the system, but you cannot tar everybody with the same brush! I would love to be able to use an electric scooter to get about, but with the stupid laws here in Spain you never know if you’re going to get fined!! Arthur Harrison
Channel 4 party cruise turns into ‘drug-fueled orgy’ Does this behaviour now have to spill over to cruise ships???? It was a nice safe haven rather than Brit filled holiday resorts in Spain and now they want to ruin cruising as well! What the hell were Royal Caribbean doing letting this happen???

Ryanair warns of air traffic control strikes He should sue the French government for disruption to thousands of flights, he would get millions, they would soon get back to work, the idle scumbags, it’s becoming a ritual every few months. William Scarisbrick And what about his flights that are cancelled due to incorrect crew numbers to operate flights and aircraft not being repaired. Maybe he should start looking nearer to home with problems. Sean Sharon Applin
Mallorca face off sparks brawl Shocking behaviour. They should be arrested, fined and sent home at their own expense. Or leave them in a cell for the rest of their holiday. Sandra Lyons
Totally agree I HAVE read Adam Whalley-Lewis’s column in last week’s Euro Weekly News. I totally agree with his comments about Channel 4’s ‘The Battle for Britain’s Heroes.’ I too have never heard of Afua Hirsch, but who does this woman think she is? The programme also made my blood boil, to slander British heroes the way she did is deplorable. I’ve little doubt that many also had a dark side, but the good that they did for Britain far outweighs any bad. I do not know her ethnic origins, but her comments may have been racist in reverse. She should be glad for people like Nelson and Churchill, it is because of people like them that she is able to live a life of freedom in Britain, in fact if it was not for people like them she may never have been born at all. That’s it, rant over so please pass my thoughts on to Adam Whalley-Lewis. Bryan Wilde, Costa Blanca
Pet problems IS there any group or organisation trying to encourage more spaying or neutering so there are less animals being born? It would seem a great solution to a lot of the problems. We have many puppies and kittens left and abandoned in our gardens where we live. But we are perfectly happy living in Spain and would not want our name quoted. Thank you!

Fair’s fair IT’S that time of year when fairs and fiestas start to be held around Spain and I must admit I think it’s great. No matter how tiny or large a town or city is, the local people get behind the concept of partying and having a good time supported by their councils. A lot of money is spent on costumes by the young (and not so young) ladies. It’s a time when bands and singers are brought in and there’s much music, eating and drinking. Happily, in our area - as a rule everyone conducts themselves well, they enjoy a drink but don’t get so smashed that they lose control. Alan, Benahavis

Mantis shrimps have the most complex and developed eyes in the animal kingdom. They have a total of 16 photoreceptors and can detect UV light, visible light and polarised light. Humans have three photoreceptors, red, green and blue while dogs have two, green and blue. Each of their eyes can also move independently from the other giving them a large field of vision.

LEO (July 24 - August 23)
Feel sympathy for those who lack the gift of insight. Their lack of understanding upsets you, but their horizons are narrow. This is a time of giving to yourself. Look forward to some time away or indulging in something that really relaxes you. Should you be searching for someone special, they may be close.
You know in your heart that you should take control of your future. This is a time to talk with others and consider their thoughts. At the end of the day, however, you are the one who has the final say.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
At times this week you will feel that a certain relationship is not developing along the right lines. Although it seems that your efforts are often in vain, this is a situation that requires thought and patience on your part. It is perhaps a good time to look to your business matters for a change of scene and to set your mind on a more constructive course.
This is not a time to drift into things because the planets are urging you to take control and forge ahead. Let others know exactly what you want and expect from them. If you do not, others will make decisions for you that could prove less desirable.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Someone who appears to be putting themselves in the way of your progress could simply be trying to help. They may have a valid point to make but just not be good at expressing themselves. Be aware of this because there could be a link to your health and love life.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) With your mind sharp and energy high, you want to make fast progress and, indeed, you can. You are only too aware of the time that has been wasted waiting for others. Now, most of that may be dealt with. See how others react when you do not. Leaving others to their own devices works better than nagging.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When you meet opposition try to use persuasion and logic to win the day. Failing that, you may decide that ‘enough is enough’ and forge ahead, anyway. In this positive mood you find yourself attractive to the opposite sex. That does not mean you have a right to be pushy. Just use your charm. Combining business with pleasure could lead to trouble, so try to keep these two areas separate.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There is a strong feeling of ‘self’ this week, and you realise that you have many things to be thankful for. These thoughts come after a period of uncertainty that saw a lack of progress.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) You should not feel responsible for the failings of others. Although you may think you could have done more in a certain situation, it is unlikely that any significant difference would have resulted. This is a busy time but also one in which a small persistent voice will be heard: the voice of logic and practicality. Listen to it.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A long-term relationship has its wobbly moments this week, but all is not lost. Listen to your heart as it speaks louder than any other voice. You know what you need but that may conflict with what you feel you should want. In an ideal world, these two areas would be in harmony. Give a little happiness to others and your own heart will be lighter.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Making firm decisions in your love life may prove difficult. Do not be rushed. This is far from a straightforward week and you need to remember how to relax. You are able to deal with what comes your way but it is upsetting to find that someone has been less than honest.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your sense of balance in the universe could be upset, but do not let this sour either your thoughts or your character. You are in the eye of the storm so take this time to think.

Research retracted A LANDMARK paper from 2013 that uncovered the benefits of a Mediterranean diet on the heart has just been retracted by a prestigious medical journal. The study carried out by the New England Journal of Medicine was found to contain errors. Apparently, the study did not remove flawed Spanish data which on later analysis showed the claim to be weaker than initially suggested. The original study claimed that eating a Mediterranean diet supplemented with olive oil or nuts slashed the risk of heart attack or stroke by 30 per cent. However, after being retracted the revised paper claims that there is simply a correlation between this particular diet and benefits for the heart. The study was retracted due to concerns that participants who took part in the initial re-
search weren’t of a similar height, weight and age. Without this correlation, the results of any trial could be compromised. Professor Naveed Sattar, from Glasgow University which initially carried out the research said: “This is a highly unusual step and I am sure that the NEJM took this decision very seriously.” In fact, after the reanalysis, little changed in terms of the overall results of the Spanish research of nearly 7,500 people. And even though the findings have been retracted, he stated that it was “reassuring” to see the results remained broadly similar. So it would seem that this research was flawed, but the benefits of the Mediterranean diet are still self-evident. QUESTIONABLE DIET: Findings about the Mediterranean diet have been withdrawn.
What a turn off YOU may be addicted to staring at your screen for hours upon end. But a new study has shown that high-levels of screen time are associated with
a higher risk of ‘all-cause mortality’ as well as a higher risk of both heart disease and cancer. The research carried out by the University of Glasgow
looked at the amount of time 390,089 volunteers spent staring at a TV or computer screen during their free time. They found a link between high levels of screen time and poor health. In fact, being stuck to the screen outside of work is a symbol of a sedentary life-style which is associated with a higher risk of mortality and cardiovascular disease. The findings were independent of BMI, diet, smoking, physical activity and other major factors such as socio-economic status.
WORKING with our team of experts means I get to learn things from their perspective as well. This week Peter Ormrod, our audiologist, has been explaining the latest research demonstrating that being able to hear well keeps you healthier. Losing a key sense A new study published in JAMA OtolaryngologyHead & Neck Surgery showed some fascinating data: Of 1,336 adults aged 65-85 with a hearing loss - only 45 per cent wore a hearing aid. Those who wore a hearing aid: • were less likely to go to hospital • had shorter stays in hospital • had lower rates of diabetes and heart disease • were better off • were happier Missing words One of the key things that happens when our hearing
Hearing aids keep you out of hospital By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com changes is that we start to miss words. We can’t hear them clearly so our brain either has to make them up OR our brain is so busy figuring out the word we missed, that it completely skipped the next sentence! So imagine someone explaining a complicated treatment plan, lots of steps, lots of new, complicated words... if you can’t hear the instructions it’s hard to follow them! Then if one of you is in your second language or has a strong accent... impossible! In fact that also has an impact on the last two points as
well. Hard to work when you can’t hear your colleagues, employees or the phone ringing. Harder still to make friends and socialise when the act of listening to another person is so tiring for your brain. And as for lower risks of heart disease and diabetes? Perhaps those people who make the effort to have their hearing checked and use their hearing aids (it’s not always easy at the beginning!) are simply the kind of people that take better care of themselves generally. Eat better, move more, keep active. Take control Getting your hearing checked is painless, easy and usually free (at least with Peter it is!). Why not make your life better right now?

Pesky pollen THIS is the time of year when people can really suffer from the symptoms of hay fever. As grass, plants and trees release pollen into the air which is blown about in the wind it is inhaled by humans and pets. With one in five Brits thought to suffer from hay fever you aren’t alone, but you can reduce the symptoms. Of course, you’ll know if you’re affected. Your eyes will become watery and itchy, you’ll begin to sneeze and your nose will run, often combined with headaches and tiredness. In addition to taking some antihistamine tablets, try to avoid being outside in the early morning and late evening. Pollen can stick to your hair and clothing, so change your clothes and shower as soon as you’re through the door. The NHS suggest wearing wraparound sunglasses and put Vaseline around your nostrils.

Bottoms up! RECENT research in Spain has revealed that women have more discerning palates and are better at telling the differences between wines. It also found that compared to men, women were more likely to describe themselves as feeling ‘joyful’ when drinking white wine. A total of 208 volunteers took part in a blind tasting of six different wines, two whites, one rose, and three reds. The volunteers were then asked about the quality of the wine and the feelings it evoked. The research was led by Dr Carolina Chaya from the Technical University of Madrid. Speaking of the research, she said: “Emotions like good, happy, joyful, mild and pleasant were positively associated with attributes such as fruity and floral, and more negative emotions like aggressive and guilty were associated with attributes related to red wine.” The report in the journal Food Quality and Preference also found that the young feel less guilty about drinking than older tipplers. And that older drinkers tend to drink to remember whilst younger drinkers to forget.
JOYFUL: Research advises drinking white wine to avoid negative emotions.

Save the date for the next fairytale wedding, hen… or divorce Nora Johnson
Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
WITH the wedding season in full swing, a survey by Brides Magazine has revealed that, despite these tough economic times, brides are still dead set on having the wedding of their dreams - with the average wedding costing £30,000+ and many brides expecting to exceed their initial budget. Hardly surprising, then, many newlyweds now start married life in debt. Or that some go to ever increasing lengths to recoup wedding costs by selling on eBay items bought from their gift list to generate cash. But the evidence suggests that bridesto-be are just as easily persuaded to splash out on hen parties too. One recent study estimates that over £1 billion will be spent on hen parties in the UK this year. One study last year indicated that
BRIDE TO BE: Girls can blow a load of money on hen parties. the average cost is £507 per hen. But that’s not all. Some have an ‘away’ hen and a ‘home’ one - plus a final joint night out, inspired by the growing trend for ‘sten’ parties (stag and hen, geddit?). And yes, a third hen party! But then, a fool and his money... But isn’t it about time people focused on the marriage rather than the wedding (or hen parties)? After all, when all’s said and done, a wedding lasts only one day. With weddings such Hollywood-style productions nowadays, is it any wonder everyone
forgets why they’re actually there, and why a few years later they’ll be experiencing that other procedure called ‘divorce.’ As we all know, an OTT celebrity-style wedding isn’t the fail-safe recipe for a happy-ever-after scenario. At the wedding of a friend of a friend, it was just the two of them, a couple of passers-by they invited in (whose names they still don’t know) and the registrar. And, yes, they’re still happily married decades later. Oh, and one final tip. You should always get married early in the morning, so if the marriage doesn’t work out you haven’t wasted the whole day.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Must he close his air vent? I had air conditioning installed and the contractors made an aperture in the building wall. A grille covers the aperture and the wall was repainted with the paint colour of our terrace as opposed to the main building colour. Apparently our next-door neighbour complained at last year’s AGM. Now I am informed that, unless I make good the aperture to the façade, the Community will have me denounced. I am also told that I could have contested the complaint within three months of receiving notification of the minutes of the AGM. In addition, I have not been able to categorically establish that the law in Spain states that an opening cannot be made in the facade of an apartment building.
By opening the David Searl wall for your air You and the Law conditioning vent, you in Spain have altered the exterior appearance of the building. This is prohibited by Article 7, Paragraph 1, of the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal, Spain’s law that regulates Communities of Property Owners.

Chicken on the BBQ
by Andrew Harding HERE is the second of my barbecue recipes using chicken, the combination of ingredients sounds strange, but it is easy to prepare however not so easy to cook properly. Food poisoning from pork and chicken at a barbecue is relatively common. If I am eating barbecued food (including my own) I always cut chicken, pork and their products in half at the thickest point to ensure they are cooked through. Barbecued chicken Serves 4 750 grams of chicken breast, no skin, no bone Marinade 150 ml tomato ketchup 100 ml white horseradish sauce 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon black peppercorns finely ground
ALL FIRED UP: Barbecued chicken. Cube (2cm) or slice the chicken breasts (1cm thick). (I will be detailing two different ways of barbecuing) and place in a bowl. Make the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together and pour into the bowl containing the chicken and thoroughly mix until completely coated. Cover and place in the fridge for at least two hours, or overnight. Using a brush or kitchen roll, coat the grill in any cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Hint: Serve with salad and a dressing cold cooked pasta with a little drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil mixed with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Tip: If you use a charcoal BBQ stir the coals first to make sure there
Light the barbecue. If you prefer chicken cubes thread them on to a metal skewer, allowing a gap of about an inch in between each cube. The rationale behind this is so that all sides get cooked and the metal skewer conducts heat well, so will also cook from the inside out, as well as the BBQ cooking from outside in! The sliced chicken can be placed straight on the grill, both are rotated, the sliced chicken twice or more, the cubed chicken, four times or more.
are no bits of firelighters or BBQ starter fluid left, or the food will taste of paraffin! Tip: There should be no yellow flames and very little smoke when you start barbecuing, the coals should be glowing with a layer of white ash.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
IT’S an old Spanish formula to proclaim ‘My house is your house’ on inviting a stranger into your home. Nobody expects to be taken up on that but that’s what Pedro Sanchez said and did after Italy and Malta refused to allow the Aquarius rescue ship to land at any of their ports. The ship has 629 African migrants aboard that nobody wants. “It is our obligation to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe and offer a safe port for these people,” Sanchez said, giving permission for the boat to dock in Valencia. Cynical observers outside Spain suggested that Sanchez made the offer so that he could earn brownie points with Brussels. Others said it was to keep in with Podemos. Or it could just be that the Spanish don’t have a big problem with immigrants. Many, now pensioners, had to emigrate themselves either for political reasons or to earn enough money to send back home in the pre-tourism, pre-boom days. Or it could just be that once in a while ‘My house is yours’ is meant to be taken literally.
A port in storm A hairy issue
WELCOMED: The African migrants were allowed to land in Spain.
Familiar faces JOSE MARIA AZNAR, the former Partido Popular who named Mariano Rajoy as his successor offered to re-direct the party following his protégé’s downfall as he was sucked under by the quicksands of corruption.
Is Aznar the right person to do this? The guest list for his daughter’s wedding in 2002 included Luis Barcenas, Francisco Correa, Pablo Crespo ‘El Bigotes,’ Rodrigo Rato, Jesus Sepulveda and Eduardo Zaplana. Rogues’ gallery, anyone?
QUIM TORRA is Cataluña’s regional president, although he was only brought in to act as a proxy for his self-exiled predecessor, Carles Puigdemont. Pedro Sanchez’s government made his hair stand on end, he complained once the names were announced, which is hardly surprising as the foreign minister is Josep Borrell, a Catalan who is firmly and vociferously opposed to independence. And Meritxell Batet, another Catalan who is Minister for Territorial Policies - in other words, Cataluña - is no separatist either. But Sanchez has already said that although there is no easy solution to the Cataluña problem, he’s willing to talk and at least reach consensus on social and economic issues unrelated to independence. There could even be an attempt to restore the clauses in the 2006 Catalan Estatut that were emascu-
FEATURE
lated by the Partido Popular in 2000. Torra and Sanchez have now spoken. Torra and Miquel Iceta, leader of the PSC - the PSOE’s Catalan version - have now met. Torra’s hair might not yet be back in place, but he’ll be spared the scalping he would have received from former president Mariano Rajoy.
Work experience PODEMOS supremo Pablo Iglesias criticised Pedro Sanchez for choosing ministers likely to appeal to the Partido Popular and Ciudadanos. Hardly a fair judgement but Iglesias was piqued because he was not invited to join the government. His nose is out of joint because between them Sanchez’s Cabinet have nous and experience culled from years in office in Europe as well as in Spain’s national, regional and local governments. Despite their individual qualities and impressive academic records, the same can’t be said of Podemos politicians, especially its higher echelons. Unless you rule out Venezuela, of course. columnists@euroweeklynews.com
Palm honey is worth a gold medal LETTERS FROM CANARIES By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com SINCE my last missive, we’ve sung, dressed up, danced traditional dances, eaten and drank too much, and generally enjoyed Canaries Day, as we do every May 30. It’s a celebration of all things Canarian, marking the Canary Island parliament’s first session, which was on May 30, 1983, since which time the islands have constituted one of Spain’s autonomous regions. The then Provisional Parliament had to choose a date for Dia de Canarias which: ‘Has a historical, but at the same time contemporary, significance, with a future focus’(!) This, understandably, created lots of argument and near fracas for the fledgling parliament. Commemorating the date of the first Canarian Parliament then saved the day. Politicians like a bit of immortality. Dia de Canarias has become an institution, featuring national dress that’s rocketed in popularity over the last 35 years, with each island boasting its own. There are romerias, fiestas, sporting events, concerts, school parties, performances of Canarian legends and history. To mark the date, worthy Canarians are award-
GUARAPEROS: The palm sap tradition lives on.
INSTITUTION: Canaries Day celebrations. ed the Canarian Gold Medal. The list of winners is long and dignified, but let’s skip to the ‘Los Guaraperos de La Gomera, for keeping alive a 500-year-old tradition’ award. These guaraperos (palm sap tappers) climb tall, swaying palms to work with sharp tools at the top. It’s risky. The award, sadly, comes too late for father-of -three Jesus, a leading guarapero who was found dead under a palm tree in March. “On the islands, the indigenous population made honey from palm trees. This liquid looks like cloudy lemon water and has a very agreeable flavour. When concentrated by boiling, it pro-
duces a syrup known as miel de palma (palm honey) used in the confection of desserts and sweets,” said A J Benitez in Historia de las Islas Canarias. When the Spanish arrived in the 15th century, the native populations of all seven islands were tapping guarapo and drinking it, or boiling it down to make palm honey, and had done so for millennia. Since then, the practice has disappeared everywhere but La Gomera. The guarapero climbs to the top to clean off greenery and expose the crown. He uses a chisel to gradually form a hollow there, inserting a hori-
zontal length of cane to drain the guarapo off into a bucket suspended below. Early next morning, it’s collected and filtered. Once a palm’s been tapped, the delicate, exposed area needs protecting from sunlight. New fronds quickly sprout. The palm mustn’t be tapped again for three or four years. The guarapero’s work is sustainable. Palms aren’t harmed. Today, guarapo’s poured into stainless steel cauldrons, slowly cooked for several hours and gradually becomes thicker, darker and sweeter. When a thin, continuous string of boiled guarapo falls from a spoon, it’s miel de palma and is left to cool before bottling for sale. Try some if you can get it. It’s delicious! Congratulations to all Canarian Gold Medal winners, especially Los Guaraperos de La Gomera. Rest in peace Jesus.

HOMES
GARDENS
IT’S important to keep your windows clean and really let those rays of sun light up your home. But apart from the fact that branded window cleaners can sometimes cost a small fortune, many people are hesitant about using chemicals indoors. Particularly if you have animals or children who might be touching - or licking - surfaces in your home. One popular option is to make your own natural window cleaner. Believe it or not, these home-made products can be every bit as effective, or even better, than bought products. And since they are non-toxic you can be sure that they are safe. Making these cleaners is very easy too. To be sure you don’t have any residual chemicals from the contents of the container previously, either buy a new plastic container or use something like an empty glass apple cider vinegar bottle with a spray top attached. Simply add two tablespoons of vinegar to two cups of water. To this, add 10 drops of essential oil (such as lemon). And then shake these ingredients together. To really save the pounds you can even simply use old newspapers or tshirts to wipe the windows down. Try to avoid using paper towels though as they tend to leave lint on them.
GRAEME TYRRELL A DELIGHTFUL part of any garden is the presence of butterflies. In the Mediterranean climate there are two main periods where they flutter about seeking nectar and partners to enjoy their short time free to fly about as they will. The end of spring to early summer you can see many of them meeting on lavender, lantana and other flowers while dodging bees, wasps and other insects to find their meals of purest delight from the flowers. In autumn after the first rains and before the onset of winter cold they again emerge, often in greater number, to fill the garden with gentle activity and spectacular colours as they visit their favourite autumn flowers. It can be fascinating to try and identify the different species with such interesting names as admiral, southern speckled wood and brown argus. Not all that flutter are butterflies. Moths can also be present although they tend to emerge more at night. Other than by reputation, moths and butterflies are very similar. Moths

NATURAL: These non-toxic products are safe around children.
The use of natural products within your home can extend to further than your windows. You can achieve a non-toxic environment on the floors in your home too. Obviously, before you begin to wash your floors thoroughly sweep or vacuum them first. To create the cleaning mixture, add a few drops of essential oil or a 1/4 cup of vinegar into warm water. Be sure that the water is warm as this will evaporate faster than cold water. Once you have washed your floors down, buff them dry with a soft cloth or towel. There are variations on this natural cleaner and many people add 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the water too. However, bear in mind that repeated use of citrus on some surfaces can damage the finish. A little known secret is to use tea to clean your floors. Brew a pot of black tea and either fill a spray bottle to mist the floor or make enough to immerse your mop in a bucket. As before, wring out your mop so it is as dry as possible. Finally, remember that contrary to popular belief, don’t use a steam cleaner on wooden or laminate flooring as this can take the protective layer of finish off your hardwood floor.
Butterflies gracing the garden have feathery type antennae and butterflies have a club like antennae. Another difference is moths’ forewings and hind wings are joined so they can fly better with the wings in unison while a butterflies are not, so they may seem a little more clumsy. Butterflies overall tend to be larger and more colourful than moths, but there are small butterflies and larger colourful moths. If you do not have many butterflies in your garden it may be that the environment does not have enough of the right plants that they live on as caterpillars and feed from as butterflies. It can also be that insecticides have eliminated them if you are near agricultural areas. Butterflies are a sign of a healthy ecology as they represent a delicate addition to the garden that can be easily destroyed if insecticides are used or only a small variety of plants are present. The area I live in is rural but not with much commercial agriculture on a big scale as farming conventionally be-
comes less attractive to young people and the interest in sustainable agriculture increases. This has allowed a return of more butterflies in the garden. My lavender bushes were covered in butterflies and bees this morning. On a walk
through the field to collect the ripened apricots, the whole field appeared to be active with butterflies busy on the native wild flowers I leave growing in the field until July when they are cut to reduce fire hazard. If you wish to encourage but-
terflies to your garden, most of the Mediterranean native flowers have a place to breed, shelter or feed butterflies. So if you have the space to allow wild flowers to grow it will assist in rejuvenating a healthy ecology.

Imperial vase update and electric Porsche Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England A COUPLE of weeks ago I suggested that you dear reader might usefully turn out your attics and lofts. The reason, the discovery of a Chinese Imperial vase discovered by chance in an attic in France and brought to auctioneers Sotheby’s in Paris was to come to auction. Well dear reader it has come to auction and it has sold. The initial estimate at auction for the vase was €430,000 and expectations were very positive, with the excitement among collectors such that ‘fireworks’ were expected in the auction room when Lot 1 came up for sale. The vase - the only example of its kind was produced by the Jingdezhen workshops for the courts of the 18th century Qianlong Emperor, an example of the famille-rose porcelains is extremely rare and when they do appear on the market generate extreme competition between collectors. Earlier this year a famille-rose porcelain bowl sold for almost €25 million so expectations were high. And on June 12 following a fierce 20-minute bidding battle

ON THE CHARGE: The Porsche Taycan.
the unique vase sold for €16.2 million. Meanwhile back in the modern world Porsche, the German sports car manufacturer, continues to gear up in readiness for its 70th anniversary, but has taken time away to announce the series production of its first purely electric sports car. The Mission E concept car has now been given its official name the ‘Taycan,’ which
roughly translate as ‘lively young horse.’ A reference to the imagery at the heart of the Porsche crest which has featured a leaping horse since 1952. Chairman Oliver Blume commented: “Our new elec-
tric sports car is strong and dependable… it’s a vehicle that can consistently cover long distances and that epitomises freedom.” For a sports car fast starts are an essential offer and the numbers indicated are 3.5 seconds to 100km/h and just 12 seconds to 200 km/h with a currently planned range of 500km. With a doubling in planned investment to reach €6 billion by 2022, the Taycan development programme, as well as derivatives and variants, is expected to account for €500 million with a further €1 billion earmarked for electrification and hybridisation of the existing product range as the company products transition into the era of future mobility. Demand for electric sports cars are expected to be as great if not more so than for Imperial vases!

Pozdravlyau #MiMarina & Luks Marbella! Marbella Moments by Nicole King
MARINA NITZAK was our very first guest on the very first Marb e l l a N O W, o u r E n g l i s h l a n guage TV show on RTV Marbella with our local town hall. Having Marina as our first guest was no accident; I wanted her to know that for me she is special. Having her initials coincide with our programme’s name was a happy coincidence that still makes me chuckle! I admire Marina for many reasons but supporting others and sharing her knowledge is certainly at the top of the list. When the Russians started setting up home in Marbella there was little integration with the international community also living here. However for five years Marina has made us privy to ‘behind the curtain’ insights as to what her fellow Russians are like and what they like. Little by little,

almost single-handedly, she has bridged that gap! Marina herself is very cosmopolitan but many of her compatriots are coming straight from ‘home’ to our shores and they are as wary of us as we of them. It has taken so much time, dedication and persistence to get to where we are today, which is a lot further forward than five years ago I can tell you. I clearly remember when a lovely English lady commented to me some weeks after the airi n g o f t h e f i r s t M a r b e l l a N o w, with Marina Nitzak, that she had really enjoyed the interview and she had been so surprised to see ‘how nice’ the young blonde lady looked, not at all Russian. What had she expected a Russian woman to look and be like I asked myself? A vodka wielding spy perhaps? Obviously not this cute young mother. The ‘Russian’ tourist has sparked many reactions locally; some embracing the prospect of immeasurable amounts of money, others keeping their distance in ignorance of what to expect.
I a l s o k n o w t h a t i t i s l a rg e l y thanks to Marina and her relentless endeavours that most of us in Marbella at least now know that they are people with their likes and their dislikes, their quirks and their quests, just like you and me. Who’d of thought!? Much has happened in these past years for me and for Marina, both in our own ways striving to unite people that often have very little in common, except for the fact that we call Marbella ‘home’ and love living here. We believe that we are #BetterTogether and we hope it really catches on! Yo u c a n w a t c h t h e i n t e r v i e w with Marina Nitzak recorded whilst celebrating five years of Luks Marbella at the Kitch Social Club in Casa Rusia on next week’s Marbella NOW TV. So tune in on Monday June 25 at 8 p m t o RT V M a r b e l l a o r v i a streaming from our web www.marbellanowtv.com for an episode that is truly from Russia with love. Pozdravlyau Marina y spasibo chto ti takaya!
PETS PAGE www.euroweeklynews.com WHEN a dog is involved in an accident of any kind, it is important to keep calm. If you get agitated, upset or panic, the dog will also be affected. It may come to you for help or it may bite if you are seen as the source of its pain or because you make the pain worse. Traffic accidents are a major cause of injury for dogs and are most likely to result in aggressiveness. If you have to move the dog, do so on something solid or a blanket if nothing else is available. Stop any bleeding by holding a handkerchief or pad over the wound and apply a tourniquet if possible, but not for more than 10 minutes. Get

the dog to a vet quickly. Burns can be caused by a whole variety of things from scalding water and chemicals to electric wires. Run cool water in a steady stream over the affected part before taking the dog to a vet.
If your dog is choking, get your fingers around the object choking the dog. You may be able to pull it out, but there is a danger you will push it further down the throat. You can try putting both hands on its stomach just in front of the hind legs and lifting the dog’s back up into the air several times. Pumping the chest as for drowning may also help. Remember, not all dogs can swim. After rescuing your
Cat sitting at home safely Cat sitters can give peace of mind Whenever we go away from home, whether on holiday it can be a worry when we have to leave pets behind. Meet Jake and Jelly a couple of rescue cats who now live in Altea. Their owner has had them for five years and still worries they may go native or get hurt if they stay out at night. A couple of years ago the owner joined the HouseSitMatch network, and now finds catsitters to come and live-in when she goes away. That way their routine can be maintained and there is someone to close them in at night. Is it safe?

dog from drowning, try to empty its lungs of water as soon as possible. Place the dog’s head lower than its body, open its mouth and begin to pump the chest by pressing down on the ribs and releasing the pressure immediately. Repeat at fivesecond intervals. Signs to look out for if your dog has been poisoned include collapse, muscular twitching, vomiting, bleeding or convulsion. If you see your dog pick up a poisonous object, don’t panic because the dog could swallow it quickly to prevent you from taking it away. Calmly try to distract it with a tit-bit or toy. If you’re too late but know the poison has been swallowed recently, try to make the dog sick with a mixture of salt and mustard in water. Take whatever the cause of poisoning was with you to the vet. Finally, dogs will shrug off
most insect bites and stings more easily than a human. But there are dogs, like humans, who
have a severe allergic reaction. If there is severe swelling, vomiting, a high temperature or obvious pain, get to a vet. Snakes rarely attack unless cornered and most of them are harmless anyway if they are the same colour all over or have stripes running down the body. The dangerous ones are thin vipers and those with stripes around the body, diamond backs, or with a blotchy pattern, or with fangs for injecting poison. Get the dog to a vet quickly and, if possible, take the snake (better dead) with you.

Tel. 608 258 950 in fo@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

The average Bugatti customer has 84 cars, three jets and a yacht.
MOTORING FACT GERMAN car maker BMW has finally unveiled its new 8-series. The two-door grand tourer now becomes the manufacturer’s new flagship car, replacing the 6-series and with a firebreathing 650bhp V8 M8 model still to come next summer. Looking broadly similar to the concept that was last year revealed at the 2017 Villa d’Este concourse in Italy, the car forms part of a new ‘design language’ for the brand which aims to be cleaner and more contemporary. The headlights are narrow and can be fitted with lasers if certain options are ordered, and they sit aside a giant kidney grille which uses active aero aids and ‘an almost fully-sealed underbod’ which offers increased aerodynamic performance. It can be bought with one of two engines from launch, an 840d and a M850i, both of which come with the xDrive all-wheel drive system and an eight-speed ‘Steptronic’ automatic gear box as standard. The diesel features a 3.0-litre

or rear wheel steering, is also fitted as standard. In order to keep the 8-series as light as possible the roof, doors, bonnet and front bulkhead are made of aluminium, while the centre transmission tunnel through the cockpit is forged from carbon fibre reinforced plastic, of which other parts can also be specced. Inside, the car is fitted with the latest version of the iDrive infotainment and instrument display system with a large centre console, while cruise control, a heads-up display and active parking is all fitted as standard. The ‘live cockpit professional’ tech features a 12.3 inch instrument display and a 10.25 inch infotainment screen with Microsoft Office plus smart phone, Amazon Alexa and Google assistant connectivity. There are rear seats fitted and the boot is a sizeable 420 litres, with prices set to start at around €87,000 for the 840d and upwards of €110,000 for the M850i.
Lexus RX450h F Sport RX 450h distinctive in its sector, and its deliberate emphasis on refined driving dynamics and occupant comfort makes it a stand-out choice. Priced from €55,605 (£48,645), this full-hybrid model with electric CVT auto
transmission is powered by a 3.5-litre 259 hp V6 petrol engine boosted by two electric motors, meaning it can run on electric power only. While smooth and quiet, it still delivers eager performance, 0-100 kph in just 7.7 seconds, with a top speed of 200 kph (124 mph). Fuel economy is 18.2 kpl (51.4 mpg) and emissions 127 g/km. The RX 450h has an awesome road presence. Its mas-
sive grille, sharply contoured bodywork and hefty alloy wheels give it a dominating muscular appearance, especially on the F-Sport test model which adds lots of extra kit and is priced at €61,892 (£54,145). It comes with self-levelling four-position air suspension, selectable drive mode, premium sat-nav, Bluetooth, heated and ventilated front seats with leather upholstery, front and
rear parking sensors, roof rails, powered tailgate and plenty of safety features including pre-collision system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert and automatic high beam. There is also a 30 cm (12.3 inch) infotainment screen and wireless phone charger among its extensive list of equipment. The premium-look cabin is longer and wider than previously, and offers generous head and legroom for five adults. The 453-litre boot can be doubled by dropping the
rear seats. The dashboard is impressively styled using quality materials and there is a good layout of instruments and controls. The RX 450h is a smooth, quiet and effortless drive, relaxing on the longest journeys. Ride comfort is armchair quality and handling assured, with plenty of grip and stability. For such a large and imposing vehicle, it can be docile and easy to drive in the city, yet can be surprisingly sporty when shown the open road.

World Cup 2018
Pride of England Harry the hero as Lions march on GARETH SOUTHGATE will be looking to improve England’s wastefulness in front of goal ahead of their second game in World Cup Group G. The Three Lions play Panama, who lost 30 to Belgium in their first tie, at 2pm on Sunday in Nizhny Novgorod. And there is a strong chance the coach could opt to tweak the starting line-up which spurned a raft of chances following good approach play against Tunisia on Monday. Raheem Sterling - who has not scored for 21 internationals - Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli were most guilty but even John Stones, England’s best central defender on the night, shanked a volley with the goal at his mercy. Marcus Rashford and Ruben LoftusCheek both staked their claims to replace Sterling and Alli, respectively, after impressing during their cameos, while Danny Rose could come in for Ashley Young at left back after the Manchester United player won only five of 20 duels and gave the ball away 13 times. Southgate’s selection dilemmas come after captain Harry Kane’s stoppage-time winner saw the Three Lions pick up their first win in the opening game of a major tournament since defeating Paraguay in the 2006 World Cup. It was just reward after England were by far the better team in Volgograd, racking up eight shots on target to Tunisia’s one. The team started brilliantly, flying at their opponents and passing the ball with speed
MAN OF THE MATCH: Kieran Trippier.
Trip surpriser ENGLAND’S Kieran Trippier has been dubbed the ‘Bury Beckham’ after being named the most creative player in the first round of World Cup matches, creating six chances. The Spurs right back was a constant threat bombing forwards and with his set piece deliveries.
and accuracy before Kane turned in the opener after 11 minutes. England continued to apply the pressure and missed opportunities to extend the lead until they were punished for Kyle Walker’s clumsy elbow on Fakhreddine Ben Youssef, Ferjani Sassi equalising from the spot. Walker was criticised for facing his own goal in the wake of referee Wilmar Roldan’s harsh decision, but centre back is not his natural position and he remains a work in progress there. Tunisia dug in with their physical approach and frustrated England in the hot and humid conditions as the game wore on, with Dele Alli particularly out of sorts in the second period after picking up a thigh injury before half time. But the team never gave up and fully deserved the victory secured by Kane’s clever late header after the striker had earlier been wrestled to the ground in the penalty area on two oc-
casions when VAR officials should have given penalties. And it was a vitally important win for a young and inexperienced England side which can now face its remaining group fixtures with confidence and momentum. Southgate said afterwards he would have been proud of his players performances “if we’d drawn,” but Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil and Germany failed to win their opening games at this tournament while England did not.
DOUBLE JOY: Harry Kane is the first England player to score twice in a World Cup match since Gary Lineker against Cameroon at Italia 1990.

SOUGHT after striker Antoine Griezmann has signed a new five-year deal at Atletico Madrid while the club has broken its transfer record for his France teammate Thomas Lemar. The Rojiblancos have forked out €70 million to bring in the 22-year-old midfielder from Monaco despite him being widely-tipped to join a Premier League club this summer. And there was more good news for boss Diego Simeone after defender Lucas Hernandez, 22, became the third Frenchman to confirm his commitment to the club after also agreeing fresh terms until 2024. The triple swoop was sealed after France coach Didier Deschamps gave Atletico CEO Angel Gil Marin special permission to visit the Les Bleus training camp in Istria, Russia. Griezmann, 27, had been linked to Barcelona before revealing he would be staying out in a bizarre documentary video called The Decision, which aired on Spanish television last week.

TWO-TIME Grandslam winner Garbiñe Muguruza says she is ready to defend her Wimbledon title. The 24-year-old Spaniard, who has not always done well on grass, said: “I believe I can win the trophy again. “The tricky part [of playing on grass] is adapting the body and movement. “Other surfaces are more comfortable for the body, you have to run in a certain way. “The ball bounces less, the balls are heavier, the court is faster... But I think my movement and physical capacity and strength, all have improved a lot.” Muguruza won the 2016 French Open but this year lost to eventual winner Simona Halep, 26, in the semi-final at Roland Garros.
CONFIDENT: Defending Wimbledon champion Garbiñe Muguruza. She bagged the Wimbledon 2017 trophy with a 7-5, 6-0 victory over the American Venus Williams. And the current World Number Three said that she continues to improve on grass, adding: “It’s very different. There are no grass courts in Spain. It took two or three years to be more positive.

ENDURANCE TEST: Fernando Alonso, left, and Sebastien Buemi celebrate their win.
Now Fer the crown FERNANDO ALONSO won the Le Mans 24 Hours at the first attempt. The Formula 1 driver and team-mates Sebastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima also drove Toyota its first ever victory in the famous race. And the 36-year-old Spaniard now wants to win the Indianapolis 500 as he aims to complete motorsport’s ‘triple crown,’ since he has already finished top of the podium at Monaco Grand Prix twice. Only English legend Graham Hill has ever won all three classic races.
Former F1 driver Nakajima put the Toyota hybrid machine on pole position and the first half of the gruelling race saw the lead swing between Alonso’s team and the number seven car piloted by Briton Mike Conway, Japanese Kamui Kobayashi and Argentine Jose Maria Lopez. Buemi, also an ex-F1 star, was then hit with a 60-second stop-and-go penalty for speeding in a caution zone, leaving the number eight outfit two-thirds of a lap and more than two minutes behind.
But Alonso pulled the time back during a series of night-time stints behind the wheel, and Nakajima retook the lead in the 16th hour before the team held on for victory and a Toyota one-two. British driver Jenson Button, the 2009 F1 world champion, failed to complete the race after his Russian SMP team’s car spent two hours in the pits before retiring.

Happy Fleet TOMMY FLEETWOOD is aiming for major success after his record-equalling runner-up finish in the US Open. It comes after the Southportborn golfer, 27, set a clubhouse lead of two over with a stunning seven-under-par round of 63, the joint-lowest in the competition’s history.
But American Brooks Koepka, 28, closed with a two-underpar 68 to top the leaderboard by a single shot and retain his title. World number one Dustin Johnson shot a final round 70 to finish third on three over. Fleetwood, who bettered his fourth-placed finish last year, said: “A 62 was more on my
mind than where I was in the tournament coming down the last few holes. It’s special to shoot a 63 at the US Open. “Just getting that close is the ultimate thing that I will take from this. It’s nice as a golfer to have that hard work start paying off. Hopefully this is just one stage in me winning majors.”
