Charity push

By Joe Gerrard HUNDREDS of Marbella locals have helped to raise some €14,000 with a weekend of sports put on in aid of a young local woman who lost her limbs to septicaemia.

The Sports and Solidarity weekend, which took place from Friday December 14 to Sunday December 16, saw more than 2,000 people take part. It was organised by local sports clubs with the help of Marbella City Council.

It was held in aid of 18year-old Sarah Almagro Vallejo to raise money for prosthesis operations following amputations after she contracted septicaemia in July last year.

Sarah, herself a keen sportswoman, said on Facebook: ‘I want to thank everyone for organising and participating in the event. What

featuring tennis, skating, football and other sports took place at the Paco Cantos Sports Centre on Sunday, with 500 people taking part.

A relay and martial arts session also took place.

Corruption count COURTS in Malaga Province investigated more than 1,000 cases of corruption in six years, according to new data from prosecutors.

Figures from the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, part of the State Attorney General’s Office, showed 1,013 probes were launched from 2012 to 2017.

Corruption cases peaked at 239 in 2013 and numbered 149 in 2017. The lowest amount of investigations was 114 in 2012.

Juan Carlos Lopez Caballero, the Chief Prosecutor in Malaga Province, said support from police and prosecutors from different areas and specialist backgrounds helped to handle ‘complex’ cases.

Anti-Corruption authorities said more protection was needed for whistleblowers to ensure more corruption cases could be reported without fear of reprisals.

The figures come as the UN and the Transparency International NGO have both called on Spain to improve rules for investigating corruption.

Wrong track GRANADA Provincial Platform of Trains has urged operator Renfe to set prices which don’t ‘dissuade’ travellers.

Cercanias ticket prices will be frozen in 2019 for the fourth consecutive year, but will go up 3.5 per cent for the regional Media Distancia trains and 7 per cent for Avant regional trains which run on the AVE highways.

Platform spokesman Juan Perez Unquiles said ‘train prices cannot go but should be ‘lowered’ to attract travellers who are currently opting for bus use for journeys to or from Granada.’

FUN BY THE SEA: New park unveiled.

The facility has cushioned pavements in different colours and is divided into four zones featuring: a multi-game galleon, double swing with inclusive seat adapted for children with mobility problems, a spring rocker for children

from two to eight years old, a cottage and another inclusive game for young children.

There’s also a play boat overlooking the sea, a tower, a captain’s cabin, a slide, an exploration table and manipulation games.

Clinicians threatened TWO police officers guarding an inmate were forced to intervene when the relative of a patient admitted to the Virgen de la Victoria Hospital in Malaga began threatening and insulting four healthcare workers.

CSIF Union expressed its ‘condemnation and maximum rejection’ of the incident in which two nurses and two nursing assistants who were

working on a night shift ‘suffered constant harassment from the alleged aggressor.’ The man reportedly went as far as following the staff around the hospital shouting insults and abuse.

After trying unsuccessfully to calm the offender and fearing for their safety, they contacted security. Two officers removed the man and took his details to begin legal proceedings.

Stabbed by colleague A CHINESE restaurant worker, 51, allegedly stabbed his colleague following an argument at the end of a shift at the Asian premises in Malaga.

According to police sources, a ‘heated discussion’ in the kitchen continued as they left. The alleged attacker is said to have taken a knife from the restaurant and stabbed his co-worker in the arm in the parking area. Fellow workers reportedly intervened and ‘prevented the situation from going any further.’

Police were called and the alleged offender was arrested.

Ancient fiesta THIS photograph captures costumed revellers in northern Spain enjoying one of the country’s most ancient fiestas which is due to kick off this Sunday.

La Vijanera takes place in the town of Silio in Cantabria. It is the first of Europe’s carnivals to take place every year.

The festival sees participants don costumes themed around animals and nature. These include the Los Zarramacos who dress in sheepskins, wear

weevil hats and carry jingle bells which hark back to devices used in ancient times to ward off evil spirits.

La Vijanera also sees people playing around 60 different characters.

Each has its own costume and symbolism and characters include El Oso (The Bear), El Hungaro (The Hungarian), El Viejo (The Old Man) and Bruja (Witch).

These characters and other festival goers gather in Silio’s town centre after their procession and read verses

Drama at sea A HIGH speed water chase ended in the arrest of three suspected hashish smugglers on Malaga’s Sabinillas beach.

The Guardia Civil used a helicopter to hover overhead and a speed boat to intercept the suspects who attempted to escape during the dramatic pursuit.

The detainees, a Spaniard and two Moroccans, were arrested after their high-powered vessel was rammed by police putting an end to a chase which

covered several kilometres.

A video of the events shows the suspects attempting to flee on foot, despite the helicopter landing on the beach first. They reportedly became ‘extremely violent’ and began throwing stones at the police.

Guardia Civil sources claim a shipment of hashish was recovered on board the vessel, and a vehicle loaded with gasoline, thought to be waiting to refuel the boat, was seized nearby.

La Vijanera is believed to have begun before the arrival of the Romans in Spain and some claim it is linked with Celtic celebrations of the Winter Solstice.

Muñoz said: “We want to materialise our absolute support to two associations which perform a commendable job in the municipality.”

Foundation patron, Paz Ametller said without the council’s support ‘it would be impossible to move forward with the projects’.

AN impatient Ryanair passenger shocked other fliers when he decided to leave his delayed flight by opening an emergency exit and climbing out onto the wing of the plane.

Flight FR8164 had left London Stansted airport almost an hour late and was then kept waiting on the tarmac on landing at Malaga airport for another 30 minutes without explanation.

The balding 57-year-old, believed to be of Polish nationality, tired of the wait shocked other passengers by announcing he was going to open an emergency exit and climb out onto the wing.

Ground staff ordered him back onto the plane and he was held until Guardia Civil officers arrived.

It later emerged that the passenger said he was suffering from an asthma attack.

Fellow passenger Fernando Del Valle Villalobos who filmed a video that later went viral on social media said it was ‘surreal.’

Best of British!

TWO state-of-the-art British warships have docked on the Costa del Sol. HMS Duncan, the UK’s most modern operational destroyer, was moored at Malaga Port after being deployed to the Mediterranean to take over as flagship of NATO’s Standing Maritime Group 2, a multinational force performing a range of tasks.

A Royal Navy official said it will work alongside NATO partners on a number of high profile exercises during the mission, before continuing to the Arabian Gulf.

The 152-metre long ship was the first Type 45 or Daring-class air-defence destroyer to be equipped with the Harpoon anti-ship missile system, and its speciality is protecting allied vessels from air strikes.

It has also been used for disaster relief, surveillance and operations against pirates.

Commander Eleanor Stack - the first woman to run a ship of this kind - said: “I am delighted to be able to bring the SNMG2 flagship to Malaga.” Hundreds of citizens and tourists flocked to the port on Tuesday morning for a tour of the ship.

The flying visit came after HMS Sutherland sailed into Gibraltar on its way to the Asia Pacific, where it has been tasked with strengthening relations with allies in the region.

The mission takes place amid ongoing tensions in the Korean peninsula, and the ship’s crew will work alongside counterparts from the United States, Japan and South Korea.

HMS Sutherland is a Type 23 frigate launched in 1996, and was the first ship to receive the updated Seawolf air defence missile system.

THE Costa del Sol continues to enjoy mild weather following the recent cold snap.

It comes after the area was blasted by arctic conditions as sub-zero temperatures brought snow, hail and thunderstorms, leading state weather office AEMET to issue yellow and orange alerts for dangerous weather.

Carvajal beach in Fuengirola was blanketed in white after being covered by hail, which also fell thickly on the AP-7 toll road at Calahonda, creating lethal driving conditions.

Emergency services attended more than 30 incidents as the chaos reached its peak, after vehi-

cles were trapped on roads in a dozen municipalities, mostly in the Serrania de Ronda.

A bus skidded into a guard rail in the village of El Burgo with six passengers rescued by police and firefighters, while a hiker who slipped and fractured a hip bone was hospitalised.

Mountain roads to the Sierra de las Nieves and El Torcal beauty spots were closed, as were two of Ronda’s main access roads, with 90,000 litres of brine and 220 tonnes of salt needed to clear them.

There were no reports of serious injury due to the icy conditions.

You talkin’ to me? Missing De Niro to open new luxury resort Photo by Nobu Hotels

by Tom Woods THE National Police is conducting an investigation to clarify the circumstances around the death of a 24-year-old woman whose body was found in a jacuzzi.

The woman was discovered in a flat in Torremolinos, and current evidence points to her drowning after falling unconscious from a gas leak. She was with her boyfriend who survived despite also passing out from gas inhalation, but he was not in the jacuzzi at the time.

He awoke in the early hours and called the emergency services to raise the alarm about his unresponsive girlfriend.

Paramedics unfortunately could do nothing to save her and the case has since been taken over by investigators.

After a detailed inspection of the property, scientific police established that a gas heater was in the same room as the jacuzzi, and that it was malfunctioning. The initial results of the autopsy are leading investigators towards an accidental fatality hypothesis. In forensic terms, it is known as the ‘sweet death,’ as carbon monoxide poisoning does not produce a sensation of suffocation.

in action MORE than 16,000 unregistered people - including thousands of Britons - are living on the Costa del Sol. And town councils have warned that budgets could be slashed if residents fail to enrol on their local civil register (Spanish: padron).

The alert comes after the National Institute of Statistics published its year-on-year figures for 2017.

Since 2010 the population of Malaga Province has grown by 80,000, but only 20,000 new civil register entries have been recorded.

British expatriates are thought to be one of the groups least likely to register amid uncertainty over Brexit, “but they are still living here among us” an official said.

Towns with the largest number of foreign residents are the worst-affected despite a number running campaigns promoting the benefits of registration.

Among them is Mijas, home to at least 10,000 Britons, but the foreigner residents’ office said that it fears “that the ‘bleeding’ of residents who choose to unsubscribe from the padron will remain the same in 2018.”

Queen Elizabeth makes historic visit to Gibraltar

by John Smith THE Royal Navy’s most recent and expensive vessel, HMS Queen Elizabeth, has made Gibraltar its first port of call outside of the UK. Still undergoing sea trials and on a six-week deployment for operational training, the aircraft carrier sailed into Gibraltar last Friday.

“Gibraltar continues to of-

fer an important strategic advantage to the Ministry of Defence, and Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar is delighted to offer whatever logistical assistance we are able to.

“On behalf of the people of Gibraltar, I will present the captain with a polished cross-section of a stalactite from inside the Rock of Gibraltar, to serve as a permanent reminder that the rock is the Royal Navy’s constant, unwavering and welcoming home in the Mediterranean.”

In full swing A REVELLER who hurt himself while at a swingers’ party with his wife is to be paid more than €12,500 in damages.

The victim had only been at the event for half-an-hour when he ‘stumbled or slipped’ and plummeted down a flight of stairs, breaking his right leg.

He blamed the fall on ‘poor lighting’ at the venue, a ‘voyeur’s paradise’ adults-only hotel in Malaga City centre, after spending a week in hospital.

The couple had reportedly been skinny dipping in the pool before the man tripped as they headed towards a group sex playroom during the partnerswapping soiree. In court the hotel’s insurance company argued that the swimming pool, bar and

staircase in the area where he fell were ‘in perfect condition,’ with floor lighting indicating the location and height of the four steps.

According to the defending lawyer the plaintiff “was in the pool and after consuming several mixed drinks slipped on one of the steps by mistake, or perhaps he did not dry his feet.” Party organisers claimed the couple had been at the bash ‘for a couple of hours,’ and the lighting was low ‘because of the type of party it was, creating an intimate atmosphere and because some people walk around naked.’

But a witness said the floor lighting was not on and ‘the only light was provided by candles,’ leading the judge to award the victim €12,565.

DESERT STORM: The eerie glow is caused by Saharan dust.

Apocalypse wow THE Costa del Sol was cloaked in an eerie orange glow after the sky was filled with dust blown across from the Sahara Desert.

The blanket of storm clouds created bizarre Martian-style scenes reminiscent of a science fiction movie.

And when the heavens opened the entire area was caked in a layer of brown sand.

APRIL ED: 1712 The bizarre weather conditions came 24 hours after a giant electrical storm lit up the entire coast, with more than 140 spectacular bolts of lightning counted in just a few hours.

Why did it rain sand?

THE dust was carried from the desert in a phenomenon dubbed the ‘Saharan air layer,’ which forms at around 3,000 metres.

At this height it is able to be blown over the Atlas Mountains in Morocco by strong southerly winds, and is only visible from the ground by an orange or brown glow in the sky.

But when it rains, the sand is sent plummeting to the ground.

The event which will see 200 soldiers from the 501st Spanish Legion dressed as characters from the Star Wars movie series - takes place in Malaga City centre from 5.30pm on Saturday May 5.

AN expatriate couple who lost ‘everything’ after squatters stole their belongings have spoken of their gratitude after the Costa del Sol expatriate community reached out to help them.

Speaking exclusively to the Euro Weekly News, Anita Pillay, 69, and husband Tony said: “We are so, so grateful, everyone has been so generous.”

It comes after tens of readers wrote in with offers of financial aid for the South Africa-born pair, who have lived in Torremolinos for 15 years.

One generous expatriate even offered them a new 32inch television after theirs was taken.

And local businesses, including Fuengirola-based Yorkshire Linen and Los Warehouse, stepped in with new bedding plus essentials including pots, pans, cups, glasses, cutlery and

Anita and Tony were robbed after flying to London for a three-week break to visit her elderly mother, but on their return they found the locks on their front door had been changed and a group of ‘at least five’ Romanian people had moved in.

And the occupiers fled with their personal effects when a judge ordered them to leave, leading Anita to be hospitalised with high blood pressure.

“I’ve just been so badly af-

fected both emotionally and psychologically,” she added.

But the pair’s ordeal is not over yet.

They now face a legal battle with a case against the Romanian woman who robbed them set to begin a week today (Thursday).

But a defiant Anita said: “We’ve just had to pay the lawyer more money to represent us, so hopefully it will be worth it, if she [the accused] turns up that is.”

And it emerged the man driving is a member of the notorious Pantoja drugs clan with links to Moroccan kingpin Abdellah El Haj, known as the ‘Messi of hashish.’

The fatal smash took place on Getares beach, near the

mouth of the Picaro river, in an area where boating is prohibited. Both occupants of the semi-rigid inflatable vessel were held after witnesses overpowered and restrained them until police arrived.

Beachgoers described how the victim and his father were anchored just offshore when the dinghy started to ‘perform dangerous high-speed manoeuvres.’

But when the boy’s dad shouted to complain about the men’s behaviour, they turned and sped towards the other boat before ‘passing over the top of it.’

Migrants move on Transfers begin amid calls for state aid

The people, largely subSaharan Africans picked up in the Mediterranean, were transferred from the Tiro Pichon cent r e due t o r ul es stating they cannot be held longer than 72 hours.

terms of Brexit.

It also aims to see some of the Rock’s riches spread to the mainland.

Simon Manley, the UK’s ambassador to Spain, recently claimed the UK is in daily contact with Gibraltarian lawmakers in order that ‘Brexit turns out well for the Gibraltarians,’ while Prime Minister Theresa May has refused to accept that the territory could be cut loose.

Speaking to The Guardian, a Spanish diplomatic source said: “We believe it’s fundamental that both delegations - British and Spanish - redouble their efforts to find a solution.

“It would be dangerous to underestimate the need for a deal. We have to avoid a cliffedge and so we need to show that we can reach a deal.

“A deal is still possible but we’re worried about the delay. We will be redoubling our efforts over the next two months and we trust the British government will do the same.”

Molly Scott Cato, a Green MEP from Gibraltar, added: “While the border in Northern Ireland has been the focus of much attention during the Brexit negotiations the other point where UK territory will touch a member state of the EU if Brexit goes ahead - Gibraltar - has been somewhat sidelined in public debate. “The depressing reality seems to be that it is Spain that recognises the urgency of arriving at a Brexit deal and the chaos that will be caused at the border with Gibraltar if no deal is reached.

“For the sake of the thousands of loyal British citizens who live on the Rock - and who voted by 96 per cent to reject Brexit - we need the Conservative government to crush the talk of no deal amongst the Brextremists and urgently engage in serious negotiations.”

JULY ED: 1725

SPAIN has told the British government to avoid a ‘cliff-edge’ Brexit as negotiations over Gibraltar are rumoured to be stalling.

Talks between the two countries are set to confirm whether the Rock will benefit from the planned transition period after the UK leaves the European Union, during which it will remain part of the customs union and single market for 21 months.

The EU shocked Downing Street in April 2017, when the 27 member states warned Britain that Gibraltar would not be included in any future trade deal unless an agreement over its future status could be agreed with Spain.

In a meeting with the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier last week, a Spanish minister spoke at length about the issue.

An EU diplomat later revealed: “They said the talks with the UK were not going anywhere, there was a lack of engagement and they emphasised that the pressure should be maintained on the British government to talk productively with them.

“It was one of the reasons that the meeting on Friday was three hours long.”

Barnier added that a bilateral agreement on the Rock was essential to push on with a Brexit deal, alongside avoiding a hard border with Ireland and settling the rights of EU citizens living on British military bases in Cyprus.

“Each of these points is necessary,” he insisted. “I repeat necessary.”

Spain wants to jointly control Gibraltar’s airport and receive more help with tax fraud and tobacco smuggling in return for allowing the disputed territory to be included under the

Hit man pl

The pair reportedly share custody of their son after splitting six years ago, and had reportedly continued to row since.

It comes after the accused, a Venezuelan, repeatedly bad-mouthed her Dutch ex to her new Danish boyfriend.

And after the couple had been together for a few months she revealed that she intended to kill him.

She discussed details of his businesses, addresses and routines before trying to persuade her squeeze to shoot him.

But when he refused, she asked for money to hire a hit man from her native country.

At this point the unnamed Dane ended the relationship and left their home in shock, before giving the intended victim a heads up by telephone.

Swede shooting claims Police: dead man was drugs kingpin

By Joe Gerrard A SWEDISH man who died after being kidnapped and shot in a Mijas urbanisation was one of the leading traffickers of hashish into the Costa del Sol, police have claimed.

Officers investigating the man’s death said he had a hand in a virtual monopoly on the importing of the drug into La Linea de la Concepcion.

The trade could have netted him ‘millions’ of euros, police added.

Officers also claimed they had linked the man to the ‘Chestnuts’ gang, a group of Costa del Sol-based drugs smugglers who almost exclusively controlled hashish shipments into the region. The gang may have worked ‘almost exclusively’ for the deceased, police added.

The development in the investigation comes as three suspects have been charged and remanded in custody

Guardia Civil officers arrived at a house there to find

the deceased and the other man both handcuffed to chairs and covered in bullet and knife wounds. They had been called out after receiving noise complaints.

Both were taken to hospital and the man who police now claim was a leading drugs trafficker died of his injuries.

Officers believe the killing was gang-related. The investigation continues.

The lower part of these docks has air chambers which allows them to act as breakwaters to maintain the safety of the ships at berth.

But visibility is virtually nil and gravel and iron girders make access extremely difficult, so the immigrants became trapped.

Port bosses called in the Guardia Civil’s frogman unit (GEAS to rescue the trapped men in view of the danger posed by the rising tide.

THE recent heavy rains that hit Malaga Province have been calculated by the Insurance Compensation Consortium to have caused around €15.8 million of damages.

Local councils are working hard to restore normality to their areas after the storms, and more than 380 incidents were recorded.

These were mainly concentrated in Marbella and San Pedro de Alcantara, and involved damaged cars, homes, and garages.

Marbella Council has since

announced that it will invest €1 million of its emergency fund to help get the city back on track.

Several roads in Coin were damaged in the storms, and mayor Fernando Fernandez has said that while it is still too early to calculate the financial damage to infrastructure, losses are in the ‘millions.’

The San Roman bridge in Coin was also destroyed, and will need to be fully restored, along with communication cables.

Poverty rates MORE than a third of all people in Malaga Province are at risk of poverty or social exclusion, according to data from the Junta de Andalucia.The regional authority’s State of Poverty in Andalucia report found around 37.3 per cent of people living in the province faced or risked facing economic and social hardship last year.

The same figure for the whole of Spain was around 26.5 per cent, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE). The Junta report found women and children were particularly at risk due to rising levels of gender violence in the case of the former. There were 8,427 cases of gender violence in Malaga Province last year and around 38.7 per cent of under 18’s faced poverty or social exclusion.

Susana Garcia, a researcher for the Junta report working on Malaga Province, said: “The situation has gone beyond an economic crisis and has become a crisis for people.”

Officers said one of the suspects shot Hamza Ziana in the head and abdomen while he was eating. The shooter fled with an accomplice in a white van while Ziana died hours after being taken to Malaga Regional Hospital, according to emergency services.

Police said Ziani, 33, originally from Utrecht in the Netherlands, was also the man who had been charged in connection with explosives found on a Marbella construction site in September.

Officers raided Ziana’s house after he was arrested and found high-end cars, cash, a machine gun, three pistols and ammunition which they said belonged to his gang.

Officials suspect the killing was a settling of scores in dis-

SHOT DEAD: Ziana was killed last Saturday. putes between rival drugs gangs that have raged on the Costa del Sol for several months.

Ziana is reportedly known in the Netherlands for allegedly being a member of a Utrecht-based gang involved in a battle to control a lucrative cocaine trade.

He is said to be a rival of Ridouan Taghi, who is wanted by Dutch police in connection with a

NOVEMBER ED: 1739 drugs trafficking operation worth hundreds of millions of euros.

Spanish police investigating Ziana’s death believe the rivalry between different drugs gangs has

spilled onto the Costa del Sol, claiming the life of the 33-yearold and several others this year.

Officers are probing the burning of a car in Puerto Banus last August for possible links to Ziana’s death, with the four people inside said to have been Dutch nationals. That investigation and the one into the Torremolinos shooting continue.

THE average age of people in Malaga Province has risen according to new government figures, with experts citing low birth rates and fewer job opportunities as the cause.

National Institute of Statistics (INE) figures showed that 81 per cent of towns and cities in the province have seen the number of people over 50 living there grow.

Data also showed there were almost 14,380 children born in the province last year, or eight per 1,000 people in Malaga.

That is the lowest birth rate in the province’s history and it comes as the number of children born in Spain last year, 391,930, reached its lowest level since 1996.

Luis Ayuso, a sociologist at the University of Malaga, said women born in the 1990’s were now reaching childbearing age but they were waiting longer before getting pregnant.

The national average age for having children now stands at a high of 32 years old.

Rafael Grande, also a sociologist, said dwindling job opportunities in the province were putting people off having as many children.

RALLYING: Demonstrators gathered in Madrid’s Plaza de Colon.

LEARNING LESSONS: The school’s initiative has helped pupils think of those less fortunate.

STUDENTS of St Anthony’s College have raised more than €1,300 for the ADIMI (Association for people with intellectual disabilities of Mijas) charity, thanks to their Halloween party.

Natalie Quero, one of the teachers at the school, said: “My Baccalaureate group organised an event in which a series of activities were put on including a castle of terror, and parents also contributed by making cakes. It is all for the cause of ADIMI, which is very important for the students of this school.”

The president of ADIMI, Cristobal Perez, paid tribute to the collaboration and commit-

ment that the school has shown over the past six years. “It is not only the money, which is very good for us, it is also the support and empathy of the pupils who understand that there are other children who have more difficulties than them in life,” said Mr Perez.

Mijas’ councillor for Social Services, Mari Carmen Carmona, emphasised how much the local authority values the cause, and said: “Everyone who went to the Halloween party had a wonderful time, and gave generously.

The students are now more aware of the charity, and of social work too.”

The funds raised will help pay for the visit of speech therapists from Brazil in March.

Unity rally THOUSANDS of protesters took to the streets of Madrid on Saturday to demonstrate in favour of Spanish unity and against regional independence movements.

The rally saw demonstrators accuse pro-Catalan independence figures and others leading a coup against Spain and claimed they acted with impunity.

It was organised by the Foundation for the Defence of

the Spanish Nation (DENAES) and backed by the far-right Vox party. It was also attended by members of the conservative Partido Popular (PP) including local politicians.

Javier Ortega, secretary general of Vox, said protesters gathered there had the ‘determined will’ to demonstrate until all pro-independence figures were jailed.

Protestors in the Plaza de Colon waved Spanish flags and

chanted slogans which included calling for the abolition of regional autonomy in Cataluña.

They also branded pro-independence parties, unions and groups “criminal organisations”.

Those rallying also called for former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont to be imprisoned and chanted: ‘Long live Spanish unity.’ The demonstration ended with the playing of the Spanish national anthem.

In 2010, there were just over 4,000 bars on the islands, but this number began to fall to around 3,400 at the start of this year.

Last year there was an increase for the first time in seven years, but with a notable change from traditional to more modern, particularly in the centre of Palma and coastal areas.

The Mallorca Restaurants’ Association claims the trend is towards the ‘disappearance’ of the traditional bar and members have highlighted the higher cost of labour following the latest ‘collective agreement’ for the hospitality sector.

The agreement will see a 17 per cent salary increase whether the establishment is a hotel or a bar.

Villages have seen the closure of bars which once served as community centres.

Golden opening sparks new rush

Brits abroad tip the scales BRITISH holidaymakers over-tip by almost €10 a day, according to a new study.

And the excessive gratuities - typically amounting to €134 over a 14day break - are being blamed on a failure to master local etiquette.

Among 3,000 sun-seekers quizzed

by UK price comparison website comparethemarket.com, which carried out the research, more than one third admitted to lacking confidence when it comes to tipping abroad.

But while one quarter generously over-tipped on purpose, more than

one in 10 revealed they had been confronted by an irate local in the wake of a blunder.

Chris King, a travel expert at the online portal, said: “Heading on holiday should be a real highlight for everyone in need of a well-deserved break.

“However, it seems millions of Brits are frequently getting themselves tied up in currency conundrums and it’s costing them their sanity.”

The website has created a series of tools and guides to help tourists tip the right amount after researchers found that four in 10 claimed it adds stress to their trip.

Less than a third of Britons knew you should leave a 10 per cent tip in Turkish restaurants, with only 16 per cent aware the same amount should be handed over to taxi drivers in South Africa.

Samba style PRIME SUSPECTS: Trade unions accused officers of attacking protestors.

A THREE-DAY strike by Amazon warehouse employees in Madrid has descended into violence.

Timed to coincide with the e-commerce giant’s Prime Day summer promotion, the industrial action saw police in riot gear charging picket lines on grounds they were blocking traffic, trade union officials said.

At least two protesters were arrested during the rally over

working conditions, with one demonstrator reportedly losing teeth after being hit in the face with a truncheon.

A photo shared on social media by Alberto Rodriguez, a member of Spain’s Congress of Deputies, appeared to show a blood-stained shirt outside the company’s warehouse in San Fernando de Henares.

The image was captioned: “This is the respect that Amazon Spain has for its workers.”

Octopus market squids in SPANISH diners are up in arms over the soaring price of octopus.

The delicacy has become increasingly expensive recently and is currently selling wholesale for up to €10.25, a 26 per cent jump from last year and 45 per cent more than in 2016, according to industry data.

In the north of Spain, depleted stocks and re-

duced quotas have seen demand outstrip supply, whereas in Mediterranean provinces catches have remained similar while the market has grown.

And the predicament has reportedly seen suppliers and restaurateurs turn to foreign octopus to make up the deficit, with much of the tentacle treat served in eateries now sourced from Morocco, Mauritania and Portugal.

Brexit keeps pound volatile as 2018 draws to an end Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com

S TAYI NG o n t o p of th e late s t currency news can help you time your transfers more effect i v e l y, s o f i n d o u t w h a t y o u should be looking out for over the next couple of weeks…

Latest currency news The final few weeks of 2018 witnessed their fair share of c u r r e n c y v o l a t i l i t y, w i t h t h e latest Brexit developments taking a toll on the pound and the euro finding support from Italian news.

Over the past month GBP/EUR has fallen from €1.13 to €1.10 while the GBP/USD exchange rate has slipped from $1.28 to $1.26.

What’s been happening?

VOLATILE: The final few weeks of 2018 witnessed their fair share of currency volatility.

M u c h o f t h e p o u n d ’s r e c e n t weakness has been caused by PM Theresa May delaying the parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal.

Although Sterling recouped some of its losses after May survived a vote of no confidence, the renewed focus on a no-deal Brexit kept the currency under pressure.

However, losses against the

euro were less pronounced than elsewhere as a surprise contraction in German GDP in the third quarter weighed on the euro.

Indications that economic output in the Eurozone as a whole is faltering also saw the euro dip against the US dollar.

That being said, the euro did gain some support from the news that the EU and Italy

have finally come to an agreement over the Italian budget.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for a fourth time in December and indicated that further rate hikes could be on the cards next year.

What do you need to look out for?

Things have started to slow up in the build up to Christ-

mas, but the pound will remain highly sensitive to Brexit developments over the coming m o n t h , w i t h t h e U K ’s e x i t from the EU now less than 100 days away.

The euro, meanwhile, may prove more reliant on data, with the single currency potentially softening if the Euroz o n e ’s e c o s t a t s c o n t i n u e t o point to a slowdown in the fourth quarter.

T h e E C B ’s e c o n o m i c b u l letin will also be of interest. A dovish tone from the ECB would be euro-negative.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I MUST confess to find the ongoing saga of the Arabian princess who tried to flee the United Arab Emirates and was allegedly captured at sea in March, yet another interesting example of Mid East hierarchy running roughshod over international laws.

The death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi has still to be explained. So far that particular murderous act has followed the predictions I made a few columns ago - ie a long ‘investigation,’ followed by the arrest of so-called rogue operators who will subsequently be put on public trial.

This latest act of alleged kidnapping and piracy does I’m afraid not bode too happy an outcome for the young lady in question. The family she has now been forcibly reunited with has already announced they have doubts as to her emotional stability and mental state.

Be that as it may, it is certainly a predictable statement and no doubt forerunner to the blanket of secrecy that will undoubtedly be pulled down over this whole sorry affair, as the Princess is brought firmly back into the family ‘fold.’

This event did bring home to me one of the risks I found myself running during my far off ‘Arabian days.’ At the time I had no idea of the gravity of the situation that I found myself in, or in fact the danger and repercussions that could have

At the time I was becoming quite successful in Saudi and had my own spacious apartment, cute little Datsun 280 ZX and a nice few quid buried in the garden! I was the proud possessor of a new telephone landline and was basically riding the

crest, as they say.

I had begun to receive a number of phone calls that consisted mainly of female giggles and ‘how are you’s’ in what was obviously an Arabian accent.

Anyway to cut a long one short, the calls ultimately became more personal and interesting and

naturally the ol’ boy finally got around to inviting her over. I was certainly aware that we couldn’t be seen in public, but figured it was all still a bit of harmless fun, and hopefully a few frolics to boot!

She subsequently arrived one day accompanied by her Ethiopian maid and companion. Obviously upper crust, she told me she was in fact a Princess from an extremely well-known Saudi family.

They stayed about an hour, which included much giggling and coy exchanges until they finally left with promises to call again one day.

That day never arrived. In fact I never heard from her again. (Sorry to disappoint!) It was only much later that I realised that what had been to me a spot of silly fun and games had been unbelievably dangerous for the young lady in question, and could in fact have led to extremely severe punishments that could have included death by stoning.

Lord only knows what could have been the ol’ boy’s fate. Doesn’t even bear thinking about. One time I can assure you I was delighted not to have had my wicked way. And you can take that to the bank.

Good luck Princess Latifa, our thoughts are with you and all the other oppressed females who reside in these countries.

A very happy New Year to all.

Keep the faith. Love, Leapy.

A close encounter of the Brexit kind

Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

WHAT with Brexit, the drones, groans and can’t-get-homes Gatwick ‘miscommunication’ fiasco, you could be forgiven for missing all the recent ‘mis-speaking.’

First off, Lewis Hamilton’s description of his home town Stevenage as ‘the slums’ angered many people, not least most of its residents. Well, with Stevenage, what you see is what you get. An honest town in that respect.

New town, post-war families working hard.

No slum. Not the middle-class wannabee of Welwyn Garden City, but no slum. And Lewis, albeit brilliant world champion racing driver, knows that. Though I’m sure he’d have liked it to have been because it would have made his ‘down with the boyz’ street talk so much more convincing.

Basically, Lewis doesn’t stop and think before he speaks. But then, do our politicians?

Just recently, we had Corbyn’s ‘stupid woman’ gaffe aimed at Theresa May followed by innumerable oh-yes-he-did and oh-no-he-didn’t panto-politics claims he actually said ‘stupid people.’Yeah, right.

But this mis-speaking isn’t confined to British politics. Consider Hillary Clinton and the countless times she ‘mis-speaks’ about being in places where she clearly wasn’t. Under

Then there’s Sarah Palin (remember her?) who, amongst other claims, swore she could ‘see Russia from Alaska.’And, nearer home, Malaga bureaucrats who threaten to fine householders for repairing cracks (yes, cracks!) in garden walls without a permit when there are complete, unlicensed villas in the surrounding campo.

Yes, mis-speaking is a bit like the norovirus: it’s everywhere now. Which reminds me of the

magistrate who, before sentencing, asked the accused if he had anything to say. ‘*uck all’ came the reply. Turning to her colleague on the bench the magistrate repeated: ‘What did he say? ‘*uck all,’ said the colleague. ‘Really,’ said the magistrate. ‘I’m sure I saw his lips move.’

Are they insured?

We purchased a top floor apartment which includes a roof terrace for our use only. We have insured the apartment for what we paid for it. This amount is higher than the IBI and it does not seem to include the roof terrace. We have emailed the community administrator to confirm that the roof terrace is included in the community’s building insurance but they have not replied yet. Should we have also included the President in the email to get a reply?

Can we request a copy of the community building insurance to prove that our roof terrace is insured?

Standardly the roof terrace is David Searl You and the Law not really your property. in Spain It is reserved for your exclusive use, but the community is finally responsible for any problems. That is why it is not listed as part of your purchase. Yes, you can request a copy of the insurance to see just what is covered by building insurance and what you need to cover separately.

Even efficient administrators are seldom very good at answering questions so I suggest you go directly through your president.

Marisa Moreno is the Danish Consul on the Costa del Sol. As an international lawyer, she has a wealth of knowledge and experience on many matters which affect expats of all nationalities.

THE video of a choir of Danes in swimsuits sunburned was undoubtedly the coolest marketing campaign designed to raise awareness of the importance of preventing the excesses of overexposure to the sun.

The creator of this campaign deserved his wages for the next five years, at least. This campaign promoted by the prestigious and powerful Danish Cancer Society was the beginning of my relationship with the campaign that the Western Costa del Sol Health District and the Costa del Sol Hospital of Marbella have developed over the last 10 years under the direction of my now good friend, Dr Magdalena de Troya, Head of the Dermatology Service of that Hospital.

Although this may be based on the Costa del Sol, the lessons are applic-

PLEASED TO HELP: Marisa (centre) at the official ceremony. able to people living anywhere in Spain.

My especially pale skin made me aware at an early age of the adverse effects that solar overexposure can have and this made me enjoy the sun in a much more sensible way.

So I was very happy when following the Danish campaign video, the

doctor and the coordinator of the Sanitary District, Nuria Delgado, contacted me to request the help of the Consulate.

Magdalena, Nuria and I worked on the project which was without a doubt very interesting, and also gratifying on a personal level.

Dr Magdalena de Troya has led

a team which has developed and promoted healthy habits regarding exposure to the sun and getting local town halls to provide information for their bathers, lifeguards and beach workers (wear sunglasses, hats, shirts, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun etc) and have their own ser-

vices for the prevention of the effects of overexposure (the installation of shaded areas, sunscreen cream dispensers and ‘sun lights’ that warn of the level of radiation, among other things).

With the collaboration of the Consulate, open days were held at the Hospital which the Danish Social Security has in Benalmadena Pueblo (Montebello) where dozens of diagnoses were made for visitors and patients. I hope that this can be an example followed by other regions such as the Costa Blanca and the Balearic islands.

I attended the official closing ceremony of the 10-year campaign and there I had the opportunity to find out the scope and importance of its results.

We have answered the cry for help from those Danes burnt by the sun and we hope we have raised awareness and helped some of them at least, but in the same vein as the video itself, we have also enjoyed ourselves. What more could you want?

Help when you need it most THE loss of a loved one at any time is traumatic but if it happens here in Spain, you may well need help from a caring and knowledgeable team to deal with what could be a difficult process.

The English Funeral Directors, based on the Costa del Sol was created some 20 years ago in order to offer expatriates a service which will steer them through all of the requirements of Spanish law and ensure that the important administrative work is completed on their behalf.

Traditions and practice with regards to death in the UK are quite different to those in Spain, where the deceased is normally buried within 24 hours, but if required, the English Funeral Directors can arrange to delay the process so that friends and family can be alerted and travel over for the ceremony.

Parents at fault Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man

FUNERAL DIRECTORS: Offering a caring service.

They can also contact an English-speaking minister or celebrant to conduct the service or arrange repatriation to the UK which will be organised personally for you.

For the growing number of people who want their last action to be environmentally positive, the company even offers non-ornate or eco-friendly coffins, as well as the option to take ashes back to the UK. Death can be an expensive business for those left behind and the English Funeral Directors offer various pricing options to suit your

needs, as well as the opportunity for individuals to subscribe to pre-paid funeral plans which can be used in the UK or Spain.

If you have the unhappy need to contact a funeral director, then proprietor John will be able to offer a caring and personal service and you can call 699 664 660 in Spain, +44 (0) 1992 623 310 in the UK or email info@cheshuntfuneraldirec tors.com, their sister company in the UK. For further information, please visit www.englishfu neraldirectors.com.

Guest stars include former EastEnders star Samantha Wo m a c k , B l a c k M i r r o r a c t o r Dan Li, The Crouches actress Jo Martin, Patient Zero’s Hara Ya n n a s a n d K r y p t o n ’s C o l i n Salmon (who appeared in S i l e n t Wi t n e s s ’ v e r y f i r s t s e r i e s ! ) . S i l e n t Wi t n e s s r e t u r n s with its first two episodes on Tu e s d a y, J a n u a r y 8 a n d Wednesday, January 9 at 10pm (CET) on BBC One.

BEFORE I start this, I have to say that I like children. Well, let me qualify this, I like well-behaved children. The ones I’m not too fond of are the ones that are allowed to do what they like, when they like, where they like, with parents that do not give a monkeys what inconvenience it causes others. Come to think of it it’s not the children that tick me off; it’s the parents that let two-plus-year-olds run round a restaurant screaming at each other.

The parents sit there totally oblivious of the noise. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t be having fun. They should be, but not at the expense of the other punters.

Then all of a sudden, they decide they have had enough and start yelling at the child which then starts the poor little so and so crying and screaming and then mum or dad start shouting even more. Then the idle threats start. ‘If you don’t stop I’m sending you on the next plane back to England!’

You can almost see the child thinking ‘No you aren’t! I’m five ... you have to

come up with something more believable than that ... but in meantime I’ll just carry on screaming.’

I was in a supermarket recently and there was a woman with a five or six-year-old child and he was kicking off like a thing possessed and she was totally ignoring him. Obviously she had read somewhere that this is the correct way to deal with this situation but I have to tell you, even though I’m no expert, it’s not! At that point a woman walked up to her and said: “Excuse me, can you control your child or at least stop and ask him what’s wrong.”

Well, all of a sudden it became quite apparent where this small person developed his temper because his mum went berserk at this woman telling her, in no uncertain terms, to mind her own business. But what did happen was the child, all of a sudden, stopped screaming to watch his mum take over the tantrum. I walked off and left them all but having a full blown punch up.

My last plea is to the passengers on aircraft. It is not acceptable to let your little precious constantly kick the back of my seat and yes I will turn round and I will ask you to get them to stop and no it’s not their fault or mine, it’s YOURS! mikesenker@gmail.com.

by Nicole King IF we were to look at ourselves as the starring role in the movie of our own lives and watch what we do from dawn to dusk I’m sure there’d be quite a few things we’d change. Would we root for that character? Would we laugh with, or at this person?

Would we feel inspired or embarrassed that someone else could be witness to existing thoughts and actions?

We all tend to speed when driving but we all brake when we see a speed camera; for fear of getting caught. This is what we need to do for ourselves, constantly monitor how we’re feeling to know if we’re on the right path, which will be easier if we know that we’re being ‘watched.’

How we react to different situations is part of our movie, so controlling our emotions is key; we can’t hide from life and we need to be prepared for whatever comes, as part of our day to day. Keeping the storyline interesting is another priority, as is deciding what emotions we want to experience in our lives, are we a thriller, a drama, a comedy or a love story?

Like with anything this awareness is an acquired ability and it takes practice. I’m posi-

TOO much e-mail is not a technical problem. It’s a people problem. You can’t fix people, but you can fix your e-mail.

Particularly when, like my friend recently, your Inbox is struggling under the sludge of thousands of e-mails. Yes I know, she should have created a selection of nice pretty folders and dragged each e-mail into one, but perhaps she preferred to have a life.

You could of course just leave your e-mail overload where it is.

That nice Google company gives us 15 gigabytes of e-mail storage free, which would hold, oh I dunno, several squillion e-mails. But good luck trying to find the specific one you want one day.

In principle you don’t have to go through all your thousands of e-mails one by one for the mother of all spring-cleans. You can in fact delete the lot with just a couple of clicks - if you really want to. Beware.

Let’s first be clear on one vital

The best present ever!

TECH FOR THE TIMID

3 - 9 January 2019

Be in charge of your emotions.

tive and happy by nature but I often listen to inspirational videos in the background when I’m working on my computer to help keep my spirits up and my mind open.

I loved taking a ‘Mastering your Emotions’ course here in Marbella with Masha Malka to help clarify new goals and keep myself in-

spired so that each day I will be the best version of myself and have the best day of my life. Even the most positive people tend to forget that our life is finite, that living for the future is like living in the past, futile and often upsetting or disconcerting and always a waste of time. The present is our gift and far more important than the ones we hope to find under the Christmas tree. The present is our opportunity to make each moment of our lives

magical, regardless of the world around us; our happiness literally depends on it.

Becoming aware of what we want and focusing only on what we do want and can control are determining factors. In the hope of sharing this ‘wisdom’ I gave my whole family a big sheet of coloured paper, scissors and glue this Christmas and brought a load of magazines and, as I had done with Masha and the girls the week before, we all sat down together on the floor, in what my daughter feared was another of mummy’s ‘arts and crafts’ afternoons, to create our visions for 2019. I think everyone was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was and how helpful it was to prioritise what most matters to each of us and actually look at it in full colour.

The best part for me was that for a few hours no one checked their social media and we were all engrossed in something together, just like when my kids were tiny; literally the best present ever!

Aiming for ‘Inbox Zero’ January’s a good time to declare e-mail bankruptcy, suggests Terence Kennedy

OVERLOAD: Nail that mail. bit of e-mail housekeeping: savvy e-mail users don’t work with their e-mail directly in the Gmail (or other provider ’s) website. It’s clunky, it’s inflexible, and it gives you little control.

It is a far, far better thing that you do to install an actual dedicated e-mail program (called a ‘client’ in the jargon), and access your e-mail that way. The added advantage is that the website still

keeps all your e-mails archived in reserve, in case things ever go wrong on your own computer.

There are plenty of (free) e-mail programs available for the taking.

Thunderbird is a classic, Windows comes with the very basic Mail app, or you can move up a rung to Outlook for more features. Other popular programs are Mailbird Lite, eM Client, Opera Mail and Incredimail.

Another tip if you’re facing a giant clean-up is the possibility of moving to a ‘universal’ e-mail address.

If you’re simply using the one your ISP provides, you’ll lose it when you move or switch providers and you’ll have to start again from scratch. But if you u s e G m a i l ( o r Ya h o o , G M X Mail, Zoho Mail, Apple’s iCloud or even the rather mysterious Elude beloved of people paranoid about their privacy) - you c a n k e e p i t f o r l i f e . Yo u r s , o r perhaps just the life of the company providing it.

So: install your dedicated e-mail program, route all your e-mail to it, create specific folders below the Inbox (family, friends, enemies, junk, Nigerian princes, your call), then drag and drop whole batches of e-mails into their appropriate folders. Job done and a happy 2019 to you too.

Hotmail ain’t cool DID you know that if you still have a Hotmail address, some of the folks you deal with online will automatically assume that you are (a lot) older, you’re not very tech-literate, and according to one UK car insurer, you’re more likely to crash.

Hotmail ‘retired’ in 2013 - time to move on gramps.

If you don’t want the ubiquitous Gmail, Yahoo now offers anyone a free account, with 1,000 gigabytes of storage. Will that do nicely, given Yahoo’s insistence that this ‘can handle 6,000 years of inbox usage for the average user’?

And remember: these days, one’s not enough. Use a main e-mail address for trusted friends, family and business, and a secondary one for all those merchants you just know are going to spam you.

A VISITING friend staying with us on the Costa Blanca has asked why leading supermarkets here do not have a special check-out for pensioners?

It seems in Singapore, where she lives, there are special check-outs marked for pensioner shoppers only, with benches so that while waiting they can sit down.

In addition an assistant is on hand to help put purchased items in shopping bags.

I am not aware if these exist anywhere in Spain, though I am sure other EWN readers will know.

With the number of elderly shoppers and retired people here, it seems like a good idea.

Having said that, they did not feature in supermarkets in the UK either when I lived there.

N Button, Torrevieja (Alicante)

A big thank you I JUST want to say thank you to all that follow our work and a special BIG THANK YOU to those of you that are sponsoring and donating to help the animals we rescue. Your contributions are helping so many animals, especially our long term dogs as some have a regular vet bill.

Just lately we have built two fenced play runs, one of which has a second-hand caravan, which will be the sleeping quarters for our special long term cases.

We have also rented a warehouse and land next to our shelter and erected an extra five indoor pens so that we can help more animals as well as extra space outside for dogs to have more freedom during the day.

My wife and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind support and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

José Safont Ruiz President Animals in Distress, Coin (Malaga)

Why not special check-outs?

Green clean I READ the recent STERLING WORK: article about volunVolunteers cleaned teers cleaning up up Fuengirola beach.

Fuengirola’s beach (Costa del Sol Issue 1746) and I just want to show my support and admiration for them.

If my back wasn’t so bad I would be out there doing my bit too.

It’s so important to treat this planet with respect and it pains me to think of all the marine life suffering because of the selfishness and foolishness of humans.

Everyone at the Plastic Free Seas Foundation is doing wonderful work and I hope this kind of initiative is rolled out across the world.

Just a few hours of work can gather up a ton of harmful waste, and then all the volunteers should treat themselves to a well-earned ‘cerveza’!

APPARENTLY Spanish grandparents spend an average of six hours a day with their grandchildren.

This does not go down well with some academics. In the past a report worried that this may be too much for the elderly and that they should have a right to say ‘no I need a rest.’

This is a slightly offline message in Spain, as the extended family is one of the great joys of Spanish culture.

It is a facet of life that seems to be increasingly lost in some other European countries as the Nanny State encroaches ever further into our lives.

The willingness for families to rally round and help out when needed is a huge boon to society as a whole, and also to the State, which then doesn’t need to pay up for a huge array of social services including childcare.

Those grandparents who do help with childcare make a huge difference to their children. Times are tough and wherever possible many families in Spain have to have both parents working to make ends meet. Often they cannot afford childcare and that is where the grandparents come in.

They selflessly pitch in and help out. The suspicion of the report is that they may be exploited by their unscrupulous offspring looking for an easy life.

But the report forgets the quid pro quo - those grandparents will themselves be looked after by their children when they need help. That is as it should be. Families should stick together.

Now we want to hear your views.

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

PEDRO SANCHEZ’S pre-Christmas foray into Cataluña opened the door to more dialogue with its pro-independence government.

The Partido Popular, Ciudanos and Vox are naturally hopping mad while welcoming the excuse to call Sanchez a traitor.

That’s how the Spanish nationalists see it, but the 50 per cent of Catalans who don’t want independence would presumably prefer Churchill’s jaw-jaw to the war-war Casado and Rivera have set their hearts on.

Long memories IS the success of extreme right wing Vox in Andalucia’s regional elections a mirage?

The period between 1939 and 1975 is still present in many minds. There are still people around with a relative who was executed or imprisoned after the Civil War. There are still homosexuals who remember having to hide their sexual preferences.

There are still women for whom contraception was inaccessible and who remember the backstreet abortionists.

A large proportion of the local population is thankful for Spain’s Constitution and pres-

Jaw-jaw, not war-war ence in Europe.

Come the May 26 elections, how many of them are going to vote for a party that would reverse everything achieved over the last 44 years?

Just imagine THE Prestige oil spill polluted 1,600 kilometres of coastline between north Portugal and the south of France.

A tank burst on the structurally unsound 26-year-old ship during a storm on November 13, 2002. It was carrying 77,000 of fuel oil and sank 210 kilometres off Galicia on November 19.

Against the advice of the Prestige’s captain Apostolos Mangouras, the Interior minister Mariano Rajoy ordered the stricken ship to put out to sea instead of making for a port where the oil spill would have been disastrous, but could have been contained.

The Prestige case reached the La Coruña High Court in 2012 and Mangouras received a two-year prison term for environmental crime.

A London insurance company and the

ship’s owners were told to pay €1.5 billion compensation in sentence, now confirmed by Spain’s Supreme Court.

Rajoy initially made light of the oil spilling from the Prestige, which he compared to ‘four strands resembling plasticine.’

His gift for minimising catastrophe foreshadowed his dismissal of PP corruption as ‘isolated cases’ in May 2018 on the eve of the Gurtel sentences and his own political demise.

Not so much understatement as a total absence of imagination.

Education, media, creative and social connections are given star merit. The solar eclipse in your own sign bursts with vitality and success, more so for an array of bold moves, replacements and makeovers covering your personal affairs.

Throughout this fortunate week, whatever else you decide, refuse to discard your hopes and wishes. As a Gemini, you like to have two strings to your bow of life, which gives you an alternative option, especially if the going gets tough.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A vivid star pattern portends a frantic personal and social diary. Ensure that any tight planning is carefully handled, especially if you hope to fit in everything you would like to say. Don't allow Monday or Wednesday's tensions to spoil opportunities for settling something important.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Pave the way for any ambitious schemes you may have, rather than actually

starting them. With your ruler the Sun eclipsing your kindred fire sign, determined Aries, you are now more likely to get the support and affection you need from the powers that be or someone who thinks the world of you.

Loosen up on Tuesday and Thursday.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Even if the opposite to what you want happens, it could prove useful. One clue to this week's planetary crossword puzzle is ‘What word could also mean success?’ Check it out, and make it work for you.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The solar eclipse in your opposite sign of Aries intensifies your willpower.

Before you say 'go', find out where you stand. It might pay you to leave things be for a little longer to see if things begin to change.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The planets mobilise your streak of Scorpio daring, but don't stretch your limits. Your most effective weapon against personal and workrelated pitfalls is your ability to be objective. Your desire to make specific situations and conversations work needs to be combined with your faith that they will work. Even if a different approach is required, try it and see.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) The main gist of the solar eclipse in fiery Aries and the link between plucky Mars and your ruler friendly Jupiter will stir surprises. Whether you create the right atmosphere all round depends on how you interpret other people's views.

Stick to crisp, simple but sensitively tuned answers, then no one can accuse you of not trying.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Hard-working, enterprising and self-sacrificing are just some of the words that describe your zodiac sign. It will be these qualities that count. Friday will boost your powers of persuasion, but you won't have too much to complain about if you follow this lucky trend into next week's encouraging tide.

Hidden identities

BBC series Mrs Wilson explores the question of how well we ever know the ones we love.

Set in London in the 1940’s and 1960’s, and India in the 1930’s, the three-part drama follows the true story of Alison Wilson, grandmother of Golden Globe winning actress Ruth Wilson, who thinks she has the perfect marriage until the death of her husband, Alec, throws up some unpleasant truths.

When a stranger turns up on Alison’s doorstep claiming that she too was married to Alec, and is the real Mrs Wilson, Alison sets out to prove her marriage was real and she was the true love of Alec’s life, but instead uncovers disturbing truths about the man she thought she knew.

Starring Alison’s own granddaughter, successful actress Ruth Wilson, Mrs Wilson is a tale of deceit, love, and identity.

HEALTH BEAUTY

THE festive season is great; catching up with family, indulging in our favourite foods, and generally having a good time.

But alongside any feelings of discomfort you may experience from too much food or alcohol, can be evidence of overindulgence shown on your skin and hair.

Our skin, hair and nails are a good barometer of health and are very quick to show when we having been looking after ourselves as much as normal.

This can present itself in the form of hair that is dry and unmanageable at the mid-length and ends but greasy at the root.

Or skin that has lost its healthy colour and may look dry or flaky. We may even break out in more spots than normal.

The best changes always take place from the inside out, and we can undo a lot of damage caused after having eating unhealthy food or drinking more alcohol than normal by cutting back on the food and drinks which are worst for us.

Most people naturally cut back a little in January, slowly returning to their old eating habits, or even embarking on a

Post party SOS drastic new regime, such as giving up alcohol for the month.

Upping your intake of water is the first priority whether you are concerned about your hair, nails, or skin, as dehydration is the cause behind many beauty complaints. Festive over-indulgence coupled with central heating or log fires means many of us are dehydrated without necessarily knowing it.

Next, load up on the fruits and vegetables which pack the most health punch. These include berries, which contain vitamins which help with skin elasticity, as well as healthy

oils such as olive oil and those found in mackerel and salmon. These will help to support the skin’s structure.

Another essential is protein. This helps us create keratin, the building blocks which make up our skin, hair and nails.

Healthy sources of protein include white meat, such as chicken and turkey, fish, and seafood.

SKIN PERFECT: It is possible to minimise the look of pores.

These cosmetic changes should make an overall difference to the appearance of pores. You can help to treat your body from the inside too though, by staying hydrated which in turn plumps up the skin’s surface and reducing the look of pores.

For the skin on your face and body, make sure to moisturise regularly, as well as using a gentle exfoliant once a week to slough off the dead cells contributing to a lacklustre appearance. Finally, for your nails, treat them by massaging a small amount of oil into the cuticles and surrounding skin, followed by a hand cream to prevent any flakiness.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook &Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala shares some New Year diet tips for a lighter and alternative way of eating after Christmas!

A Beginners guide to a low carb Keto diet Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella

www.thelittlegeranium.com I’VE been writing for newspapers and magazines since I was about 26. I have written for all the catering journals and magazines like OK, Hello and now Euro Weekly News (by far the best one!) Almost every New Year I write about being healthy because, let’s face it, we wake up on New Year’s Day feeling dreadful and realising that we have eaten and drank enough to last the whole year!

We want and need to make some changes to our diet, eat less junkfood, smoke less, drink less and then by March we will have forgotten about it all! But you can and should be able to sustain it as long as you don’t feel the cravings. Out of all the diets and fads (and I’ve tried them all!) the best one by far is the Keto diet.

The name ‘keto’ in a ketogenic diet comes from the fact that it allows the body to produce small fuel molecules called ‘ketones.’ This is an alternative fuel source for the body, used when blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply. The liver produces ketones from fat. These ketones then serve as a fuel source throughout the body and

ketones are produced if you eat very few carbs and moderate amounts of protein (excess protein can also be converted to blood sugar).

It’s a diet that is safe for everyone unless you are taking medication for diabetes, high blood pressure or you are breast feeding. (Consult your doctor first if that is the case.)

On a ketogenic diet, your entire body switches its fuel supply to run mostly on fat, burning fat 24-7. When insulin levels become very low, fat burning can increase dramatically. This is great if you’re trying to lose weight, but there are also other benefits, such as less hunger and a steady supply of energy. I have really found this diet to be the best ever! For more information on this fantastic safe and logical diet go to www.dietdoc tor.com/low-carb/keto So what can I eat on this diet?

• Lots of fish and seafood • Cheese • Eggs • Natural fat like olive oil, butter, coconut oil, avocado oil • Meat • Vegetables that grow above the ground especially leafy green vegetables • Berries like strawberries, blackcurrants, blueberries • Tea, coffee with no sugar, water, wine in moderation, some diet drinks What shall I avoid?

• Bread unless made with almond flour • Potatoes

NO CARBS: A good way to lose weight.

• Pasta • Sweet candy • Chocolate bars • Rice and grains • Most fruits other than some berries • Fizzy drinks and beer • Condiments like ketchup, brown sauce • Energy drinks, smoothies, orange juice Some of these changes may take getting used to but they are not dramatic and I find that I can switch over pretty easily. Personally I drink wine and diet coke and sparkling water and I have taught myself to ignore the more carby foods but that doesn’t meant that from time to time you can’t eat the odd carb. So on a Sunday when the restaurant is closed I usually cook a roast meal with roasted potatoes and some of the more carby root veggies. To be honest I don’t miss them much and I don’t feel ‘wow thank god for potatoes.’ On the contrary, and so if it works for me it should work for you too!

At The Little Geranium we are just about to introduce a healthy menu section, it will be based around the Keto diet plan. If you need help or advice feel free to pop in and see me!

Here are some food swaps to kick off the Keto plan gently: 1. Swap milk chocolate for dark chocolate ideally sugar free(a minimum 80 per cent cocoa solids) 2. Swap fruit yoghurts for natural Greek yoghurt and add fresh raspberries 3. Swap cheese and biscuits for cheese with an apple or with olives or celery 4. Swap crisps and sugary nuts for whole brazil nuts or macadamia nuts 5. Swap white rice and all grains for cauliflower rice 6. Swap potatoes for cauliflower hash browns or cheesy cauliflower 7. Swap below the ground root veg for above the ground green leafy vegetables 8. Swap sweets and cakes for some fresh raspberries or blackberries 9. Swap bread for bread made with only almond flour 10. Swap flour totally for almond flour that way you can still eat pizza etc!

Make your own Almond Flour Simply buy peeled whole almonds (or peel them yourself by blanching them in boiling water and removing the skins). Blend in a food processor until fine and pass through a sieve.

You can add yeast, but don’t add sugar!

Healthy Crispy Carb Free Duck Salad (Serves 4) Salad Ingredients • 1 whole duck roasted until cooked and crisp • 1 red and 1 green fresh chilli in julienne without seeds • 4 tablespoons julienne of radish

HEALTHY: Delicious no carb duck salad.

• 2 tablespoons julienne of fresh root ginger • Various salad leaves • 4 tablespoons julienne of spring onion • 1 bunch of fresh coriander Salad dressing 50ml of extra virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic mashed 2 tablespoons of light natural soy sauce Juice of 1 lime Juice of 1 orange A little olive oil

1 green chilli chopped finely with no seeds 1 teaspoon of sesame oil Method This very simple duck salad is deliciously healthy and leaves you feeling more than satisfied without having to have the sugary or deep fried alternative!

Firstly take your freshly roasted duck and break it into small pieces using your hands. If it’s not crispy enough put it back in a hot oven

(200C) in pieces to crisp it more.

Simply make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together, taste and season with a little Maldon salt.

Mix the roasted duck together with even proportions of the salad ingredients and with your hands portion it into four bowls. Pour over the salad dressing and serve immediately. Eat with chopsticks and have a glass of dry white wine with it. Your first carb free meal isn’t that bad is it?!

It is not due to the inability of manufacturers to make things that last longer as they once did, but with consumers always clamouring to purchase the next supa dupa model, there is no need.

But the one exception to the reliability rule is automobiles.

The trustworthiness of new cars today is fantastic, and with generous warranties available, it means that trouble free motoring is largely something that we can now take for granted.

A Grand Old Lady

FIRST LOVE: Vanden Plas Princess. life, and from a time when the term reliability was as alien to cars as the word economical.

My very first car was a 1962 three-litre Vanden Plas Princess.

She was six years old when I first saw her beckoning seductively on a garage forecourt,

showing me a glimpse of her well endowed front end.

She was a pretty thing, immaculate in charcoal over slate grey with twin gold coach lines to make her go faster.

She had automatic transmission, a solid walnut dash and

leather reclining seats. There was even a valve radio, and she could do 0 to 60 in less than two days.

I knew I was punching above my weight and one day she would leave me with a broken heart, but at £310 - a fair wedge

t o a s t r u g g l i n g 2 2 - y e a r- o l d i n those days - I couldn’t resist.

It soon became apparent that she had a serious drink problem and although I was only once flush enough to actually fill up her 16-gallon tank, no sooner had I bought a round, than she was demanding more.

I could just about afford to keep her on the road by cutting down on luxuries like food and underwear, but when she developed arthritis in the gear box and her plush Rolls Royce type grill needed replacing, I had to reluctantly admit that it was time to part company.

It had been a brief but hectic and intoxicating love affair.

My recent acquisition is the new Peugeot 3008; a lovely piece of kit that drives like a dream and I have no doubt will give me years of fault free service, just like the 12-year-old I traded in.

But nothing will ever replace that old Vanden Plas lady in my affections.

ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.acecharity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care.

ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319)

CLASSIFIEDS SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public at weekends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about rehoming, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way.

“ New Porsche touring car In 1928, Charles Adler Jr invented traffic lights that could be activated by drivers honking.

by a 220 kilowatt four-cylinder engine which is capable of delivering top speeds of 275 kilometres per hour.

The interior includes sports seats with the 718 logo embroidered on the headrest.

The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) entertainment system has been removed, but buyers can opt to have it fitted free of charge.

The Boxster version comes as a coupe while the Cayman has a standard roof.

GERMAN car maker Porsche has unveiled a new touring model which it said was designed for maximum driving pleasure.

The Porsche 718 T is based on the design of the 1968 911 T and is available in the company’s Boxster and Cayman ranges.

The company said in a statement that its ‘T’ touring models were synonymous with driving pleasure.

“The 718 T will be most at home on winding country roads, offering the joy of dynamic driving as its ultimate goal,” Porsche said.

“The two-seater accommodates this philosophy through a pared down range of features,” the company added.

The 718 T features 51-centimetre alloy wheels, the PASM sports chassis, a six-speed gearbox, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and Porsche dual-clutch transmission. It is powered NOT only do today’s senior executives have to deal with the many pressures of running business, but choosing a company car can be equally taxing.

In recent times three fine luxury saloons have been launched by Mercedes, BMW and most recently, Audi, making it quite a head scratcher to pick a winner.

But for those who simply can’t decide, there is always the dependable Jaguar XF. As with its rivals, you get a choice of petrol or diesel engines, two of each, in the XF’s case, in varying states of tune and with either one or two turbos or a supercharger attached.

The range stretches from a 161bhp 2.0-litre diesel right up to a 375bhp 3.0-litre supercharged petrol V6 in the XF S. All but the latter can be had in one of three versions: entry-level Prestige, aggressive-looking R-Sport or luxurious Portfolio.

All are automatic, while the majority of engines are offered with the option of four-wheel drive. Notable by its absence, mind you, is any

ON TOUR: The 718 T is most at home on winding country roads.

Jaguar XF: Class is permanent form of hybrid, plug-in or otherwise.

Inside, the Jaguar XF certainly manages to feel opulent, from the thin sliver of wood encircling you to the fluted leather on the seats.

Like all modern Jaguars, the XF is let down a little by its infotainment set-up too, which is a little fiddly and dated looking.

There’s a decent amount of space up front too, and in the

back there’s more than enough for two large adults.

The boot’s one of the biggest in its class too, although it isn’t the most usable thanks to an oddlyshaped floor that slopes up toward the front of the car, making it harder to stack large loads.

Also, when you start the engine there is a rather invasive hum, and a considerable vibration through your seat.

However, the chassis rides fluently and irons out larger undulations, settling into a relaxed lope on the motorway.

The steering is beautifully judged: fast without feeling snappy, smooth without impacting on feel, light but without feeling remote.

Out of every corner you blast, faster and faster, squeezing on the throttle each time and allowing the traction to carry you away.

CAR ROYALTY: Many buy Jaguars on reputation and looks.

For all its rattle and hum, this big diesel engine is certainly punchy, serving up huge globs of torque right where you want them.

Overall, this is still a like-

able enough alternative to the luxury car norm and one that, if you’re willing to live with its flaws, will put a big grin on your face every time you take the long way home.

Champions League Final

GARETH BALE scored one of European football’s great goals as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 to win their third successive Champions League title.

Jurgen Klopp’s side suffered a huge blow with only half an hour played, as star player Mohamed Salah collided with Sergio Ramos and got his arm caught underneath him as they fell to ground.

The incident led to Salah being stretchered off with a dislocated shoulder and he is now a doubt for the World Cup with Egypt.

Liverpool keeper Loris Karius endured a game from one of his worst nightmares, gifting Karim Benzema the opening goal shortly after half time with a rushed pass out of hand.

The Reds recovered from the calamity to equalise through Sadio Mane, before Bale came off the bench to

There was to be no comeback from a shell-shocked Liverpool this time, and Karius’ misery was complete when he fumbled Bale’s spec-

NOVAK DJOKOVIC won his first Grand Slam title in more than two years by overcoming Kevin Anderson to claim his fourth Wimbledon championship.

Djokovic, seeded 12th, won 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-3) on Sunday to win a 13th Slam, his first major since the 2016 French Open.

The Serb, 31, quickly took control to take the opening set in 29 minutes, and broke his South African opponent twice more to storm the second set too.

However he did not have it all his own way in the third, and had to survive five set points before dominating the tie-break to seal victory.

“I had many moments of doubt, I didn’t know if I could come back to this level to compete,” said Djokovic, who also won the Wimbledon title in 2011, 2014 and 2015.

“There is no better place to make a comeback, it’s a sacred place for the world of tennis, it’s very special.”

He is now in outright fourth place on the all-time list of Grand Slam men’s singles titles, moving clear of Roy Emerson and closing the gap on Roger Federer (20), Rafael Nadal (17) and Pete Sampras (14).

The former world number one will move back into the top 10 when the latest rankings are released on Monday.

ulative 30-yard shot into the net in what should have been a routine save.

The result sealed Real’s record 13th win in the competition, and their fourth in five seasons to give coach Zinedine Zidane his third triumph

in three years.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has now lost his third successive final since arriving at Anfield, having suffered defeats in the League Cup and Europa League finals of 2016.

Djok and awe Novak serves up Wimbledon glory

Nadal serves up 11th French Open title WORLD number one Rafael Nadal won an incredible 11th French Open title by beating Austrian Dominic Thiem in straight sets.

Nadal, 32, won 6-4 6-3 6-2 to earn his 17th Grand Slam on Sunday, putting him three behind Roger Federer’s all-time record.

The Spaniard edged an intense opening set, before tightening his grip on the second with an early break of serve.

Despite having cramp in the third set he somehow managed to increase the tempo, and 24- year-old Thiem in his first major final, had no answer.

“It’s a dream to win 11 times,” said Nadal. “I played a great match against a great player.

“He is a player who pushes you to the limit.”

Nadal’s victory means that the past six Grand Slam titles have been won by either him or Roger Federer, with the next generation of players struggling to break their dominance.

Nadal is only the second player in history to win the same Grand Slam 11 times after Margaret Court, who won 11 Australian Open titles between 1960 and 1973.

The Spaniard had been the hot favourite to win at Roland Garros, after warming up with three clay-court titles in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome.

Against seventh seed Thiem he was at his destructive best. “What you have done to win this tournament 11 times is one of the greatest things in sport,” Thiem said to Nadal afterwards.

A Mario Mandzukic own goal from a free kick (18 mins) got France on the board, but Ivan Perisic replied 1 0 m i n u t e s l a te r with a well-taken left foot strike into the corner.

Hamilton wins fifth F1 title LEWIS HAMILTON has won his fifth F1 World Championship, making him the joint second most successful driver of all time.

The 33-year-old becomes only the third man in history to win five world titles and draws level with Argentinian legend Juan Manuel Fangio.

Only the peerless Michael Schumacher stands ahead of him with seven titles, and that total will be the Briton’s next target.

Hamilton needed only to finish seventh at Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix to become champion, even if Sebastian Vettel had won.

However, the German Ferrari driver could only manage second place behind the dominant Max Verstappen, despite a strong and determined race.

Hamilton battled tyre problems throughout a difficult race, but his finishing position of fourth was more than enough to reach his memorable milestone.

“To complete this, when Fangio has done it with Mercedes, it is an incredible moment,” Hamilton said.

“It was a horrible race, I was just trying to bring the car home.”

Vettel broke off from his post-race interview to congratulate his rival, as the two men showed their respect for each other after another intense battle.

GERAINT THOMAS became the third Briton to win the Tour de France when he crossed the line in Paris.

Alexander Kristoff won the final sprint finish on the Champs-Elysees as Thomas crossed the line arm-in-arm with Froome after three weeks of racing.

He beat Dutchman Tom Dumoulin by one-minute 51 seconds, with Froome third.

Froome was the heavy favourite to become the fifth rider to win a recordequalling fifth Tour de France title.

However, he had never before ridden the Giro d’Italia in the same year and it seemed to sap his energy levels in the Pyrenees mountains, as Thomas proved the stronger rider.

Thomas’ victory comes in his ninth Tour and cements his place among Britain’s greatest cyclists.
