YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION

PM holds on

By Joe Gerrard BRITISH Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a no confidence motion but British expatriates in Spain were left facing uncertainty after her Brexit deal was voted down.

MPs voted to back the government in the motion tabled

by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. The motion came roughly 24 hours after Parliament voted down the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal by a margin of 432 to 202, the largest defeat of any government since 1924.

May said yesterday (Wednesday) that she would present a new version of her deal to MPs within the week.

The EU has repeatedly ruled out renegotiations.

The rejection of May’s deal, which included protections for British citizens legally registered in EU countries including Spain, leaves expatriates in an uncertain situation.

Anne Hernandez, president of the Brexpats in Spain expatriate advocacy group, told Euro Weekly News she was “extremely concerned.”

“There are more than 300,000 British people here who work and have invested

SURVIVED: May (inset) will stay on as Prime Minister. in the Spanish economy.

“We can be thankful that bilateral agreements have been reached between London and Madrid which protect some of our rights.

“Other than that all I can say to expatriates is to make sure they are legally registered as residents in Spain,” Hernandez said.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Madrid regretted the result of the vote.

“The agreement is the best possible on the table and an

unordered exit would be negative for the EU and catastrophic for Britain.

“Spain is working on contingency measures and it is prioritising the rights of citizens and residents,” Sanchez said.

Spain’s Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said Madrid was prepared for any scenario.

HOLY MOLY: The Mezquita-Catedral is one of Spain’s best-known religious landmarks.

A holy sight THIS picture from inside one of Spain’s most famous holy buildings will give you plenty to contemplate as the world prepares to mark International Religion Day tomorrow (Friday).

The Mezquita-Catedral de Cordoba (Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba) has been revered as a religious site by both Catholics and Muslims. It is now called the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion (Cathedral of our Lady of the Assumption).

A Visigothic church built in honour of St Vincent the Third is believed to have been the first structure to stand on the site of the current Mezquita-Catedral.

After the arrival of the Muslim Moors in Spain, which became Al-Andalus in the eighth century, the church was split into Christian and Muslim areas. It was then bought by Emir Abd al-Rahman I and torn down to make way for the then Mosque in 784. The Mosque underwent several alterations over the following

centuries. By 987 the Muslim part of the building came to look as it does today.

When Cordoba was conquered by the Catholic King Ferdinand III of Castile in 1236 the centre of the Mosque was converted into a Christian Cathedral.

Additions continued to be made well into the 18th century.

Today tourists and pilgrims continue to visit the Mezquita-Catedral, with its prayer hall and Mihrab (pictured) among its most famous attractions.

Man held NATIONAL POLICE officers have arrested a 24-year-old man in Marbella on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the assault of a man which left him in a coma. Investigators said the attack took place at a leisure venue on Avenida del Mercado at around 12.30am on Monday December 31.

Forest fire A TOTAL of 20 firefighters were despatched to a Benalmadena cemetery after a blaze broke out in nearby woodland, Andalucia’s forest fire service said. The Plan INFOCA agency said the wildfire, which broke out in the Arroyo de la Miel area, was extinguished on Monday evening after breaking out that afternoon.

Budget boost NEW links between the A-7 motorway and Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Marbella are among projects planned on the Costa del Sol under government budget plans.

Madrid’s proposed budget includes more than €350 million in spending for Malaga Province, an increase of 150 per cent on last year’s funding, according to government figures.

More than €1,089,000 will be spent on new access from Benalmadena to the A-7 if the budget is passed. New

links to the motorway costing around €100,000 each have also been budgeted between Marbella and Fuengirola.

About €2 million has been set aside to build an ocean study centre in Malaga. More than €3,362,000 has been allocated to help tackle coastal erosion.

Millions have also been earmarked for improvements to the province’s railways. This includes €25,000 for improvements to the Cercanias suburban line and €140,000 for the proposed Costa del Sol corridor.

Court overrules bullfighting ‘ban’ LOW AIR FARE: The increase in budget airlines has helped prevent price increases.

A STUDY has suggested the price of airline tickets in Spain will remain stable in 2019.

A report by the American Express Global Business Travel consultancy claimed growth in demand coupled

with an excess capacity of seats will keep prices steady.

The ‘Air Monitor 2019’ study said only business class fares might suffer a slight increase due to demand for seats exceeding airline capacity. Despite the economic and

political instability of Brexit, the rise in low-cost airlines has helped curb price hikes. ing to the report. This growth in competition has led experts to believe any fare increases in 2019 will be minor.

No laughing matter SPAIN’S central government has supported a tweet posted to the Guardia Civil’s official account condemning a comedian. The tweet criticised Spanish performer Dani Mateo who is facing prosecution after filming a sketch in which he blew his nose on the Spanish flag.

The government came out in support of the

tweet after Senator Carles Mulet asked whether it was appropriate to use an official police account to comment on a legal case.

The Guardia Civil’s statement read: ‘The flag symbolises the union of a people. Respect it, not to do so is not humour, it is to offend those who view it with pride.’

A COURT in Alicante has ruled a council was wrong for trying to stop bullfighting locally.

A judge decided Villena Council had put in place ‘insurmountable obstacles’ hindering a charity bullfight in Plaza de Toros last September.

A local cultural organisation, ‘Peña Cultural Taurina,’ took the issue to court, arguing the council was standing in the way of a cultural tradition, and claiming it had behaved unconstitutionally. The ruling found the local authority’s obligation was for the ‘preservation of common cultural heritage,’ including bullfighting. A judge said Villena Council was no “exception to this legally-established maxim,” adding, “public authorities must safeguard bullfighting.”

Last February, the Peña Cultural Taurina won another case against Villena Council after it was denied permission to hold a charity bull run on September 7, 2016. At the time, a court found the decision had been based on the ‘subjective opinions of the members of the cultural commission, which are displeased by such shows.’

THREE new towns were created in Spain last year while the country’s rural areas continue to be dogged by depopulation, official figures show.

The three new towns in Spain are Cordoba Province’s Fuente Carreteros and La Guijarrosa and El Palmar de Troya, in Sevilla Province.

The new towns, created after separating from existing urban centres, come as the number of people living in small rural towns continues to decline.

Meritxell Batet, Spain’s Minister of Territorial Planning, said previously depopulation was the ‘biggest challenge’ currently facing the country.

Figures from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) show 2,627 out of the 8,124 towns and cities in Spain contain between 101 and 500 inhabitants.

A total of 1,360 towns are home to less than 101 residents, up from 1,319 at the start of 2018 according to the INE. Ten years ago, the equivalent figure was 1,036.

Low pay, high property prices and a boom in holiday rentals is being blamed for the fact that 48 per cent of young adults are ‘trapped at home.’

According to the National Statistics Institute (INE), property prices rose by 10.9 per cent in the capital last year, while rentals cost on average €13.09 per sqm.

This is a historic high, claims online property platform, Fotocasa.

Police heads’ dodgy degree MORE than 200 police commanders have questionable university degrees in criminology, according to a Supreme Court ruling.

The court found that the Rey Juan Carlos University created in 2013, with the consent of the Interior Ministry, awarded a university degree without the necessary attributions for the title which was awarded to the police chiefs.

The ruling could have an impact on commanders’ ranks.

Ryanair strikes LAST week’s two days of strikes were called off after Ryanair management and the unions representing its Spanish cabin crew reached an agreement over work contracts.

After more than 18 months of meetings, the company agreed to comply with the Spanish legal and labour framework last Thursday morning - the day of the first of two work stoppages.

This has been the main bone of contention for staff,who currently have Irish contracts.

The deal was signed at the Madrid headquarters of the Directorate General of Labour ’s Madrid headquarters at 4am.

though police investigators have since found evidence of three similar cases which went unnoticed at the time.

Police are working on the theory that the poisonings were prompted by the nurse’s profes-

sional jealousy towards a colleague who occupied a post she aspired to.

The case came to light after six members of the medical staff began to feel ‘weak and dizzy’ according to sources close to the

case. Analyses revealed traces of methadone, which is used to treat withdrawal symptoms in drug addicts and is prescribed under strict medical supervision to prisoners. The nurse, who worked for at least 15 years in

Tennis match fixing arrests made FIFTEEN people have been arrested for a tennis match fixing scam that netted millions from gambling.

Spanish Guardia Civil officers smashed the Armenian gang that had managed to tempt 28 professional players to accept bribes to fix matches in ITF Futures and Challenger tournaments. One of them took part in the last US Open. In total 83 people are being investigated.

The investigation, codenamed Operation Bitures, started in 2017 when the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) an international anti-corruption body, made a complaint about a Spanish tennis player, who has not been named.

Guardia Civil then unravelled a web of criminals who allegedly bribed professional players to guarantee predetermined results and stole the identities of hundreds of citizens to bet on the pre-arranged games. The Armenian gang used a professional tennis player as the link between them and other players. Gang members attended the matches to ensure

Man ‘beat partner’ A MAN who allegedly beat and tried to suffocate his partner during a ‘violent row,’ before threatening to cut her seven-year-old son’s throat if he tried to call the police, has been arrested.

After hearing the woman’s ‘calls for help’ a neighbour called the Local Police of Vigo just before 3am last Thursday morning.

On arrival, officers reportedly heard a ‘violent argument’ taking place and a woman pleading not to be hit, and begging to be let out.

The 46-year-old eventually agreed to open the door and was arrested for a ‘crime of gender violence.’ The victim was treated by paramedics at her home. Her son, from a previous relationship, was not physically hurt.

Tragic ending to romantic getaway LAURA SANZ NOMBELA from Toledo was one of four people who died during a suspected gas explosion in central Paris.

The 38-year-old mother of three had been swept off by her husband for a romantic weekend, and after their first night in the French capital she was getting dressed in front of the window.

“The curtains were drawn,” her father said afterwards.

“She was putting on her jersey when the explosion happened in the Hubert bakery in front of the hotel.”

The blast tore away the window frame and hit Laura’s head while her husband, Luis Miguel, was slammed against the bed.

Seeing his badly injured wife he went to the window and called for help but when this did not arrive, carried Laura downstairs.

TRAGEDY: Laura was killed in the blast.

“Everybody was filming with their mobiles and nobody stopped to help until a fireman took her from Luis Miguel,” her father lamented.

Laura’s rescuer carried out CPR until an ambulance arrived to take her to the University Hospital of Paris where she died some hours later.

Jose Luis has made up his mind not to leave Paris without his daughter’s body, he declared to the Spanish media.

At first he was told that repatriation would take at least 10 days although the Spanish consulate has pledged to speed up the formalities as much as possible.

“My son-in-law is physically unharmed, but psychologically…” Jose Luis’s voice tailed off.

“They met when Laura was 16 and had been together ever since. Until now.”

This popular reality television series, which charts the lives of Britons who are dete r m i n e d t o c a r v e o u t n ew liv es fo r themselves in sunny Spain on a shoestring budget, airs on a Thursday night on Channel 5 at 8pm UK time.

The picture was seized by the French authorities from Botin’s yacht in Corsica in 2017 although Botin insisted that he was taking it to Geneva, intending to store it at the Freeport warehouse complex. Instead Botin, brother of Emilio Botin - founder of the Santander bank and uncle to the current president Ana Patricia Botin - is accused of taking the picture outside Spain in order to sell it, despite knowing that it was

With the hearing set for July, the banker faces a four-year prison term if found guilty after he and his lawyers tried unsuccessfully to reach agreement with the Spanish government.

Spanish Life

New residency requirements LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics.

While there are new rules for British nationals applying for residency in Spain, there will be no change to the right and status of EU nationals living in the UK, nor UK nationals living in the EU, while the UK remains in the EU. As an EU citizen it is now mandatory to register as a resident if you intend on living in Spain for more than three months.

You must register in person at the Oficina de Extranjeros (immigration office) - visit: http://www.seat.mpr.gob.es/portal/servicios/extranjeria/extranjeria_ddgg.html for regional offices - or a designated police station, which you can find at: https://www.poli cia.es/docu mentacion/oficinas/oficinas_extran.html You must make an appointment online before going to your local office or station, which can be done on the Spanish public administration website: https://sede.admin istracione spublicas.gob.es/icpplus/index.html When making your appointment you must select the province where you live and then the option ‘certificados UE’ and follow the instructions.

You take the following documents with you to your appointment: Passport or other identity document (not expired) Official form (EX-18), two copies, filled and signed by the UE national.

In addition, you will need other documents, depending on your situation: • (employed) - contract of employment or other proof of your employment status.

• (self-employed) - proof of registration in the register of economic activities or other proof of your employment status.

• (not employment in Spain) - Proof of: health cover valid in Spain; sufficient means to support yourself and your family.

• (pensioners) - provide proof of public health cover.

• (students) - proof of your registration in an educational establishment; proof of public or private health cover; formal declaration that you have sufficient means to support yourself during your stay. *You will be issued with a credit-card sized residence certificate which will include your name, address, nationality, NIE number, and date of registration. *The old A4 residence certificates are still valid, and you do not need to apply for a credit-card sized alternative unless your circumstances change, for example you move house. But you can if you want to, at any time. *After five years of being registered as a resident, you can apply for a certificate of permanent residence in Spain. The card will be similar, but state that you are a ‘residente permanente.’

Family members of prisoners, 46 of whom are in jail in France, and one of whom is in Portugal, claim moving nearer to their homes will assist their eventual reintegration into society.

Some critics and relatives of the estimated 853 ETA victims are resisting the decision, however, arguing the prisoners should show remorse and renounce any links to ETA before being allowed to move closer to home. Since Pedro Sanchez announced his new policy, 19 ETA prisoners have been transferred back to the Basque Country, however, only two of these had publicly given up any links to the terrorist group.

Subtitle row resolved NETFLIX has reacted to controversy over its subtitling of the mostly Spanishlanguage film Roma after being accused of being ‘ignorant.’

The original offering of ‘European Spanish’ subtitles on the Mexican film on Netflix and in cinemas in Spain provoked angry reactions from viewers and the director, Alfonso Cuaron, who said the move was ‘parochial, ignorant and offensive to Spaniards themselves’ during an interview with El Pais.

Netflix responded by dropping the ‘European Spanish’ option and replacing it with ‘Spanish’ closed captioning, which transcribes what is spoken onscreen, rather than translating concepts for a non-local audience.

Dairy farms face closure SPAIN’S dairy farms are at risk of closing down if dairy farmers are not paid a fair price for the milk they produce, says the organisation for livestock farmers UPA. The latest figures show that Spain is at the bottom of the list in Europe when it comes to prices paid at source.

UPA has sent a clear warning to the dairy industry informing them that farmers are losing approximately €25 million a month, and that ‘without fair prices at source, the efforts of the

whole industry would be for nothing if dairy farms had to shut down.’

Figures show that French dairy farmers receive €5.42 more than their Spanish counterparts for every 100 kilograms of milk, while when compared to the European average, Spanish milk producers are paid €4.45 less per 100 kilograms.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, approximately three dairy farms a day are currently having to close.

BREXIT BRIEF

A DEAL has been struck which will allow British citizens in Spain and Spanish citizens in Britain to vote and stand in local elections after Brexit, Spain’s Foreign Minister said.

Josep Borrell said the pact covers the 240,000 British citizens registered as residents in Spain and the roughly 150,000 Spanish people in Britain.

Spanish government sources have also confirmed diplomats from Madrid and London are in the process of closing off the deal.

Borrell said: “Bilateral agreements between Spain and Britain will guarantee that Spaniards who are living there and Britons here will maintain will their rights, even the right to vote in municipal elections.”

The deal aims to maintain current EU arrangements covering voting. It is similar to agreements Spain has with Norway, New Zealand and some Latin American countries.

British ambassador Simon Manley was set to formally announce the deal this week. It comes as Borrell said Madrid was making plans for Brexit, including a no-deal scenario which the Foreign Minister said would be a ‘catastrophe.’

Free electric this winter Win €100 with the Euro Weekly News IF you, like most people, dread the thud of the electric bill on the doormat after a long, cold winter, have no fear because the Euro Weekly News is here to save you money, and even the chance to win €100.

By Sally Underwood SPAIN’S utility bills increased by 26 per cent between 2010 and 2017, according to a study by the EAE Business School in Barcelona, making Spain the most expensive country in Europe for electricity.

The average price of electric here is €0.21 per kilowatt hour, meaning costs quickly mount up as temperatures drop. One way to avoid high electricity bills, however, is to use energy-saving tactics.

According to one price comparison website Kelisto.es, it is possible to save up to €200 a year by replacing traditional light bulbs with LED ones, switching older appliances for ones with a maximum energy efficiency rating, and not leaving appliances on standby.

Money can also be saved by sealing doors and windows as up to 30 per cent of heat is lost this way. Use timers for heaters, so you

only use energy when you need it most, or install a smart meter to monitor how much electric you use, and also help keep costs down.

Finally, it often pays to shop around so why not check out a price comparison website to see whether you are getting the best utility deal for your money.

Sites such as Iberswitch.com, kelisto.es, or comparadorofertasenergia.cnmc.es allow you to compare tariffs and help you switch companies if you could get a better deal elsewhere.

Which electricity provider would you recommend to other readers for value?

The Euro Weekly News is keen to hear your favourite companies for electric and is offering a €100 voucher to spend on winter electricity for one lucky entrant to its poll.

School bullies arrested NATIONAL POLICE arrested 15 teenagers for bullying two brothers at a secondary school in User, Madrid.

The suspected bullies, all aged between 14 and 16, were accused of humiliating, harassing and insulting the brothers, filming the incidents and then posting them on social media.

The victims, aged 13 and 15, did not go to school for a monthand-a-half because of the abuse.

In December, the father of the brothers reported the bullies to the police after hearing a group of youngsters shouting abuse at his sons outside the family home. When the officers arrived they found a group of 20 or so teenagers, detaining 15 of them.

Interviews with the two brothers revealed they had been suffering bullying at the hands of a bunch of school mates and friends of the bullies, the parents backing up the children’s version of events.

The parents said they had been concerned about the situation, but had not until then reported the abuse.

Ivan Marquez Rodas, medical oncologist of Gregorio Marañon, said: “We know that between 30 and 40 per cent of patients do not respond to drugs nivolumab or pembrolizumab, those which activate anti-PD1 antibodies, which have the best effects against cancer cells.”

He explained this new drug

works differently by creating immunity within a patient’s body so it defends against a tumour. Dr Marañon added, “We have observed that it does not produce serious side effects.”

During a study, 28 patients with solid tumours were treated with the drug, to test for safety and effectiveness.

The medication was able to control cancers in 58 per cent of cases, reducing tumour size in 17 per cent of patients.

The report highlights the need to take steps to address the ‘growing epidemic of excess weight and obesity, including new taxes on certain foods and policies which promote healthy eating habits.’ The study was based on more than 500 previously published articles, in which the data of more than 300,000 people was analysed. The investigators followed the evolution of the prevalence of excess weight and obesity in Spain between 1987 and 2014, basing their predictions on the results.

According to the report there were 24 million cases of overweight people in Spain in 2016, three million more than a decade earlier.

The budget features measures including a rise in funding for Cataluña to more than €2.2 billion, bringing its total share of regional grants to 16.8 per cent.

Cataluña’s share was 13.1 per cent last year.

Other proposals include €670 million for a youth employment

plan, €220 million to help combat gender violence and more than €7.5 billion in infrastructure spending. PSOE ministers now have a long way to go to gather parliamentary support for their plans.

The spending boost for Cataluña has failed to win over the region’s pro-independence president Quim Torra. He has called for pro-independence parties to vote against the budget over Madrid’s handling of the se-

cession situation unleashed following 2017’s referendum.

Funding increases for Cataluña also drew fire from the leader of the conservative Partido Popular (PP) Pablo Casado.

Casado accused the government of negotiating a budget which was designed to satisfy those who wanted to ‘break up Spain.’

“PSOE has decided to sell Spain in exchange for staying in power for a few more months,” Casado said.

The PP could make life difficult for the government as it has an absolute majority in the Spanish Senate. They and the centrist Ciudadanos will likely table several amendments to water down PSOE’s proposals.

PSOE must therefore establish a tightly-knit coalition with parties who sided with it in last year’s no-confidence vote to have any hope of passing their proposals.

Far-right call SPAIN’S prime minister has called for opposition to those who want a country ‘in black and white’ in an attack on the far-right ahead of historic political changes in Andalucia.

Pedro Sanchez’s comments came as the conservative Partido Popular (PP) and the centrist Ciudadanos agreed a coalition pact to take power in Andalucia with the backing of the far-right Vox. “Being a patriot is not about shouting: ‘Long Live Spain!’

It is about working every day to make the country better,” Sanchez said.

Sanchez has positioned himself as a leading voice in Spain’s progressive movement since becoming prime minister in June last year.

His ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) and the leftist Podemos look likely to be the two largest parties which will stand in opposition to the right going forward.

Ciudadanos had sought to occupy the centre ground in Spanish politics but its decision to get into bed with Vox in Andalucia suggests they are now tacking to the right.

That decision has caused internal strife in Ciudadanos and could lead to no party offering a middle ground between left and right.

Poll tracker: Partido Socialista (PSOE): 25.1 per cent, 106 seats.

Partido Popular (PP): 18.2 per cent, 87 seats.

Ciudadanos: 17.9 per cent, 65 seats.

Unidos Podemos: 14 per cent, 46 seats.

Result: PSOE largest party, no overall control.

ONE of two men wanted by the National Crime Agency (NCA) in connection with trafficking more than €4 million worth of drugs into the UK, is believed to be hiding out in Spain.

A national appeal has been launched to trace Desmond Broad, 51, and Alan Cumming, 48, suspected of being involved in the importation of 200 kilos of cocaine, amphetamines and cannabis between March 2016 and June 2017.

According to the NCA, Broad - also known as Andrew Nicholas - fled to Spain in February while Cumming is still in the UK. Broad, who has the nickname Taff, speaks with a Welsh accent and is 6ft tall with green eyes, pierced ears and tattoos on his neck, arms,

A SPANISH passport will allow the holder to visit 186 countries without a visa in 2019.

According to the Henley Passport Index, compiled each year by London consulting firm Henley & Partners, this makes the Spanish travel document the fifth most-valued in the world.

This is one place lower than last year when Spain was ranked fourth and gave

access to 187 countries without the need for a visa.

Japan continues to issue the most valuable passport in the world, allowing the holder to visit 190 countries, followed by Singapore and South Korea, both of which give access to 189.

Third place is shared by Germany and France, with access to 188 countries, followed by Denmark, Finland, Italy and Sweden.

Luxembourg’s 186 countries rank it fifth together with Spain while the UK occupies sixth place along with the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Austria and the US by giving access to 185 countries.

Afghan and Iraqi passports are the least-valued of all and holders are allowed to enter only 32 and 30 countries respectively without a visa.

An NCA investigator said

anyone who is helping the wanted men ‘or actively frustrating our attempts to locate them, could find themselves being arrested’.

SPAIN’S population looks set to grow substantially and progressively older which will likely lead to a sharp increase in the number of retirees versus workers, the country’s central bank said.

The Bank of Spain said in its Recent Developments and Projections of the Population report, that the country’s population would

age during the next three decades.

The report analysed data from the National Institute of Statistics and the EU. The study predicted that Spain’s ‘dependency ratio’ would rise from 25.6 per cent in 2018 to 51.6 per cent in 2052 before falling to 45.7 per cent in 2068.

The dependency ratio refers to the proportion of

people aged over 66 compared to those aged between 16 and 66.

The report also predicted that Spain’s total population would peak at around 50 million in 2048 before gradually declining.

Migration is forecast to help offset a declining fertility rate among the Spanish-born population, the study added.

The league is concentrated in six Spanish autonomous communities, with CastillaLa Mancha at the top of the list, home to three of the municipalities.

It is followed by Castilla y Leon and Aragon with two, and Andalucia, Asturias and Extremadura with one town each. In first place is Setenil de las Bodegas, followed by Orbaneja del Castillo, Riopar, Albarracin, Llanes, Valverde los Arroyos, Guadalupe, Alcala del Jucar, Candeleda and Beceite.

High-end target SPAIN’S businesses want to close the gap with world leaders by strengthening its highend fashion, food and hospitality offerings.

The industry wants to catch up with Europe’s luxury market leaders by 2025.

Last year, the country’s top-end sector recorded sales of €9.2 billion, compared to

€29 billion in Italy and €27 billion in France.

Experts believe Spain could hit the €20 billion mark in six years based on its power of attraction in gastronomy, tourism, fashion, and on the development of specific products for high-end consumers.

NEW THEORY: Researchers think the mummy was an eye doctor.

Mummy findings A TEAM of Spanish archaeologists have announced that they may have revealed the identity of an Egyptian mummy more than 2,000 years after his death.

Researchers at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid said the mummy could be the priest Nespamedu.

The holy man was also one of Pharaoh Ptolemy II’s most important eye doctors, archaeologists said.

“The fact he was the pharaoh’s doctor makes us think part of his life was lived in Alexandria, where Ptolemy had his court,” they added.

CT Scans showed the mummy was adorned with Egyptian gods including Thoth, the deity of science and medicine. A total of 2,739 pictures were taken, with the scanner able to peel away layers of cloth to reveal the body.

This led to the theory that he

could have been one of Ptolemy’s surgeons. Archaeologists think he may have lived between 300 and 200 BCE. The fact he was mummified shows he was a high-ranking official with enough money to afford the burial.

Researchers first began working to find the mummy’s identity in 2016. The body arrived in Spain from Cairo in 1925 and was initially thought to belong to a woman.

Supreme Court rules on former matrimonial homes

By Antonio Flores Abogado/Lawyer LLM (Essex) Reg. Nº 4712 I.C.A. Málaga

E-mail: aflores@lawbird.com Homepage: http://belegal.com/blog-by-antonio-flores

www.lawbird.com

RECENT Supreme Court (SC) divorce case law has placed regular disputes over the ‘family home’ in a prominent position.

Not only is this a very emotional subject at the core of some of the most acrimonious divorces, it is in fact believed

that therein lies the root of many domestic abuse cases some fatal - when a new partner starts living in the former matrimonial home with the one given the right to stay.

Article 96 of the Civil Code para 1 states ‘in the absence of an agreement between the

spouse approved by the Judge, use of the family home and the objects of ordinary use therein shall correspond to the children and to the spouse in whose company they remain.’

In 2013, the SC stated such relief was available so long as the home did not ‘lose its family home nature,’ or it was proven that the ‘children had their accommodation needs covered elsewhere.’ In these cases, the occupying spouse would lose the right of use.

In 2017, the same Court ruled that the existence of a new partner in the marital home adjudicated to an exwife and children, should necessarily reduce the maintenance payments by reason of

the rule of proportionality.

As recent as November 24, 2018, a plenary meeting of the First Chamber of the SC ruled that where a father or a mother who had been given the right to live in the former jointly owned matrimonial home with the children, enter into a new relationship and live together in the said home, by application of new doctrine the spouse with right of use will automatically lose such right of the former matrimonial home.

The immediate effect is that this property can now be subjected to a forced sale, in the case if the former partners do not agree on voluntarily selling up.

Union opposes job cut plan A SPANISH trade union has said it will fight plans from a British telecommunications company to cut worker numbers in Spain by up to around 24 per cent.

The UGT said Vodafone’s plan to slash up to 1,200 jobs was ‘unnecessary and wrong’ and that staff were not responsible for the firm’s performance.

Around 5,100 people work for the company’s Spanish arm.

It comes as the London-based company sent an Employment Regulation File (ERE) to three trade unions detailing plans to dismiss staff after a fall in revenue last year.

“This ERE is an attempt to solve Vodafone’s proven and repeated inability to make proper strategic decisions,” a union spokesperson said.

“It seems unnecessary and wrong for us to consider a staff cut again only three years after the last one took place,” the spokesperson added.

Vodafone’s Spanish division said in a statement the move was justified because of economic, organisational and productivity reasons.

‘This proposal seeks to reverse negative trends in our business, strengthen its sustainability, protect investments and create a more competitive organisation which is better adapted to customer needs,’ the statement said.

The Spanish division’s British parent company the Vodafone Group announced plans to cut its European costs by €1.2 billion in the next three years last November.

Vodafone Spain posted falls in revenue of 3.2 per cent from April to September 2018.

Gross operating profits fell by 27.8 per cent during the same period.

Data from the CBRE industry consultant showed investment in the Spanish hotel industry reached around €4.9 billion in 2018, up 33 per cent on the previous year.

Investment in Barcelona stood at €232 million, a drop of 45 per cent believed to have been brought on by ongoing uncertainty over the Catalan independence issue.

EU benefit CUT: Calviño has cut GDP forecasts.

SPANISH Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is predicted to grow by 2.2 per cent this year, 0.1 per cent less than initially predicted, according to the country’s Economy Minister.

Nadia Calviño said the revision was due to the government being forced to aim for a faster cutting of Spain’s government spending deficit.

“If we had stuck to our deficit reduction target we

would have revised the prediction for GDP upward,” Calviño said.

The government is now aiming to cut the deficit to 1.3 per cent of GDP after previously aiming for 1.8 per cent.

The change came after the conservative Partido Popular (PP), which has an outright majority in the Spanish Senate, threatened to block the budget if deficit reduction targets were relaxed.

SPAIN has received almost €8.1 billion from the EU for 110 projects under the bloc’s Strategic Investment Plan, according to data from the European Commission which found that the country came fourth in terms of those who benefitted most.

The claims follow a 10-month investigation. The CNMC alleged the firms made advertisers and media agencies obey a minimum quota for their channels under a system of bonuses and penalties. Such a move would be illegal under market competition rules.

The companies claim the practices are commonplace in the industry and added they would take the case to Spain’s National Court if they are sanctioned.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I CANNOT believe I’m having to waste a part of the blurb to yet again correct a misquote in a reader’s letter to the EWN. Some weeks ago, in similar circumstances I received a published apology for being almost libelously misquoted in a missive concerning the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Well, last week it happened again.

In a recent column, when I was citing an example of what I considered PC racism. I wrote.

‘The portraits (of historical figures) were replaced by one of a lion and another painted by a local artist, of a black woman Henrietta Lacks.’ Unquote. At no time did I sarcastically state that ‘she was a black lady who died in 1950 and is still alive today’!? Many thanks for all the information I have received concerning this unusual and extremely unfortunate lady, whose cell cultures have apparently saved many cancer victims, but please, before you put ‘pen to paper,’ just check the column in question and endeavour to not exaggerate the copy in an effort to undermine this ol’ boy’s hard-fought reputation. Awright!

I see another youngster has been stabbed to death in what appears to be a gang-related murder in London. I in no way mean to undermine the tragedy of this 14-year old’s death. But, despite the usual wailing and expressions of grief

More love needed

THUGS: Taking over city streets. from family and friends of what a ‘lovely, well liked young man he was,’ I’m afraid the subsequent ‘selfies’ published on the media of this young man tell a different story. In self-confessed ‘trapper’ (street slang for drug courier) mode, showing him masked and hooded, astride a moped, clutching fistfuls of £50 and

£20 notes and making a gun sign, rather sullies the insistence by his mother that he was a ‘loving, caring boy, who had no connection with drug gangs.’

Yet another family would appear to be in denial of their offspring running riot and fuelling the violence and gang culture which is afflict-

ing Mayor Khan’s London.

Talking generally about the gang-related violence that seems to be on the up, it is surely the job of families to keep their children on the straight and narrow.

If families would do their jobs and give more love and attention to their children, instead of in many cases using them as benefit cows and letting them run riot and undisciplined around gang infested streets, they may go some way to easing the problem. As it is these young boys and girls will continue to turn to the adult gangsters to try and retain some semblance of belonging and cohabitation among people who at least give the appearance of caring.

It’s the families of these youngsters that need to get their acts together. Waiting till their offspring either suffer (or instigate) horrific deaths, before they announce to the world how much they ‘loved and cared’ for them, is too late.

Children need to be consistently convinced and assured of these feelings from day one.

They need to have it demonstrated by routine and the security of family life.

Neater Heater: more choice, greater control NEATER HEATER have come a long way since they started 10 years ago by introducing the resident s o f t h e C o st a Bla n ca to slimline, efficient, Norwegian Convector Heaters.

The whole enterprise started when two expatriates, Richard and Tony, had been unsuccessfully looking for efficient and economical electric radiators for their homes.

They then came across these heaters quite by chance while working in the villa of the UK imp o r t e r. R e a l i si n g th e y h ad found a great solution to fill a

gaping hole in the market, they s ta rte d imp o rti ng a nd s e lling them to the rest of us.

The original Beha heaters were a great success and sales grew mainly by word of mouth as custo mers re c o mm e nde d the m to their neighbours.

S in ce th e n , n e ve r re s ting in their desire to provide their customers with a greater variety of choice Neater Heater have added the Norwegian Adax heaters, and the very popular Turkish made Vigo heaters to their catalogue.

The last year has been very exciting with Adax and Beha both

introducing a range of heaters which can be controlled remotely through Wi-Fi systems by use of their downloadable Apps.

Says Richard: “Our customers vary in age and technical ability.

We a re s e e ing a n inc re a s ing amount of people opting for the Neater Heaters with a Wi-Fi option. “ The y ge t the s a me gre a t heaters, but have much more control over them. However, a great many of our customers find technology baffling. They just want a good efficient heater which they can control simply with an on-off

switch and a thermostat.

“We are happy to say that all Neater Heaters can be controlled manually, including those with a Wi-Fi option.

“We at Neater Heater offer our customers the same great service, whether through one of our many outlets or our online shop, but now they have more choice, and de pe nding on t he heat er t hey c hoos e , an opt i on of m uch greater control.”

A HOMESICK expat in the USA asking who had been voted off Strictly Come Dancing and another in Italy requesting help to arrange a wedding and get tickets to see the Pope are among weird calls for help made by Britons abroad last year, according to the Foreign Office.

One guy rang to ask for confirmation that Poland wasn’t home to vampires, because a woman he met online had asked what blood type he was before going on their first date.

Better still, an Englishman in Bangkok asked consular staff to contact a massage parlour as he’d fallen asleep during a rub-down and felt he shouldn’t have to pay for it (let’s hope he at least left a tip for the masseuse as he must have been extremely relaxed to fall ‘fast asleep’), while another in Delhi asked what time the British High Commission opened as he’d heard it sold vegetarian sausages.

Someone in the Canary Islands asked consular staff to persuade his hotel to give him a different room after a stray cat had ‘broken into’ his current one and peed on his bed.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: “I can regretfully confirm that the Foreign Office isn’t able to offer advice on vampires, rogue stray cats or Strictly contestants. Our capacity to de-

Views of a Grumpy Old Man I AM writing this article on January 10 and the reason I’m telling you the date is that I want to know when is the official time to stop wishing everyone you meet, happy New Year.

For me, it’s all done and dusted by January 6.

The Xmas tree is down - not that we had one up in the first place - and as we are in Spain, Three Kings is a great guide.

I actually think it sometimes looks sad when you drive around and see the Christmas lights still up. It’s back to normal and to double prove it pop in to a department store and see all the presents you bought, now at half price in the sales!

I am a meat eater and I enjoy it, and to be honest I am getting a bit fed up by being attacked by my vegan friends. Why do you think you are so much better than me? Why do you think it’s OK to preach to me? If you don’t want to eat meat or fish or anything else that’s up to you and jolly good luck to you.

But please stop preaching how healthy you are because you are a vegan. I have news for

poles together with some ‘Mexicans - Do not cross the rope!’ signs.

So, maybe Humpty Trumpty gets to sit on a fence, not a wall. Still falling off, though.

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

you; some of the food you are eating is not as healthy as you think.

I looked at vegan burgers which are full of processed fats like soyabean oil. Some contain MSG which is a terrible ingredient found a lot in Chinese food and can give you night horrors.

So I’ll stick to my wagyu burgers thank you.

The same applies with spreads; check what’s in them. I have to add here that if you are a vegan because of the concern for animals I do not have any argument with that. It’s just the ‘I’m healthier than you’ brigade.

Another thing is ‘Oi Greggs, there is no such thing as a vegan sausage roll!’ It either is a sausage roll or it’s a pastry filled with ‘something’ but it’s not a sausage.

Since protein is scarce when you avoid animal products, soy products like edamame, tofu, soy protein powder, and tempeh are often the replacements.

The reality is that soy protein is very difficult to digest, a thyroid suppressive and estrogenic due to phytoestrogens. It also contains high levels of phytic acid which cause less absorption of nutrients, as well as trypsin inhibitors which can interfere with digestion.

So that’s you told. I’m bracing myself for some serious rows about this. Here’s a question for you: How can you tell if someone is a vegan? Don’t worry, they will tell you.

Must a club register?

JB (Costa Blanca)

Don’t preach!

Mike Senker In my opinion

LEGALLY SPEAKING I belong to a sporting club to which members pay an annual fee. However, the club does not have a bank account, nor is it independently audited. The members rely on a treasurer and a committee to approve and monitor income and expenditure.

I have the following questions: 1. Does the club need to be registered with the Spanish authorities?

2. Is it necessary for the club to have a bank account?

3. Is it necessary for the club to have an annual independent audit?

4. If the answer to questions 1 to 3 is yes, does the club have to be registered with the tax authorities?

TICKETS PLEASE: Don’t ask the Foreign Office if you want to see the Pope. ploy veggie sausages remains sadly lacking.”

Now, some see these bizarre requests as yet another example of the Nanny State in which dumbing down has plumbed new depths; responding to these calls must be like mudwrestling a jellied eel. I don’t want to bring Donald Trump into this but, you know, like mud wrestling Donald Trump.

Take his latest obsession: his Great Wall between America and Mexico. So the original concrete wall is now maybe... a fence, but wait a bit longer and it’ll be a piece of rope; 3,000km of rope suspended between bamboo

The answer to all David Searl f our of your You and the Law questions is no. A group in Spain of l i ke- mi nded peopl e can cont ri but e i nt o a fund which they use to pay for a sports activity they enjoy. No legal formalities are required if the ‘members’ are happy with this casual arrangement. Of course, if you have no legal existence, you cannot apply for grants and subsidies, and that is why most clubs are registered as such.

Behind THE MUSIC V L James | vljcomms@gmail.com | Facebook: @vljamesinfo

More live music please ONE of my New Year’s resolutions this year (as well as the usual promises to myself that I will maybe try and shift a bit of weight!), is that I have promised myself to get out and see more live music.

When I say live music, I mean proper live music, singers and bands, with instruments, who can actually play and sing. Musicians who have actually learnt their craft and have rehearsed enough so that they know their repertoire and can perform it without spending their time on stage staring at an iPad or music stand.

There are some fabulous venues around and a lot of great gigs. It’s a wonderful thing to go out and be entertained by a band, especially when they are more imaginative with their setlist.

I recently saw three different bands in two weeks, and their setlists were

virtually identical. There are some talented musicians around: surely it’s not much to ask for a few surprises?

Advertising Feature LIVING in Spain is undoubtedly a great and enjoyable experience but, unfortunately, sometimes we have to face the legalities of a different bureaucracy. You can find many differences in legal procedures even when it comes to death, something inevitable that we all have to deal with.

In order to make things a little easier in these sad times you must be ready for what’s in store.

Also the cost of a funeral in Spain, like most countries, continues to rise and most Spanish families take out some kind of funeral insurance to cover the related expenses and also to avoid the administrative headache of what is, of course, a very difficult time.

• You may ask yourself, do I need funeral insurance in Spain?

You might not have thought about it yet… but it might be time to leave everything in place for your loved ones by taking out a funeral insurance to alleviate some of the costs and the difficulties that your family will face especially when they reside outside of Spain.

If you want to protect your loved ones from the financial burden and the bureaucracy that this upsetting time entails, you can consider a Lib-

Life is a journey Be prepared to enjoy it without worries erty Funeral Insurance to get everything sorted.

Liberty Seguros guarantees a funeral service according to your local custom and arranges the necessary documents and paperwork related to the insured’s death.

• What are the advantages of this insurance?

It gives you the sought-after peace of mind making sure that your loved ones will not have to worry about anything, saving them money and worries.

Liberty Seguros will manage all types of tasks such as requesting the widow’s or orphan’s pension or the death certificate, in addition to services during life such as the will and review and drafting of legal documents. They offer payment flexibility so that you can go at your own pace: monthly, quarterly, biannually,

or annually.

Moreover, the same policy covers up to eight insured parties, so that all your family can be included under the same plan. The price becomes more competitive the greater the number of insured parties. And as of 90 years of age, you no longer pay the premium, but you will have guaranteed service for life.

• What covers are included?

- Burial or cremation service - Full transport within Spain with no limit and outside of Spain for trips of up to 90 days.

- Procedures with government entities in the event of death.

- Legal advice related to the death of the insured.

- Open notarial will and living will.

- Digital deletion after death.

- Psychological assistance for firstdegree relatives in the event of the insured’s death.

This policy is flexible and you can tailor it to your own needs, by adding additional covers such as: • Travel assistance in case of serious illness or accidents for Spanish residents, including trips abroad up to 90 days.

• Transportation in the event of death for long-term stays abroad (up to one year).

• International transport of expats residing in Spain (repatriation cover in the event of death).

• Arrangements and legal advice related to privacy.

To provide all Liberty Seguros customers with a first class service, their multilingual phone assistance number is available 24/7.

Liberty Seguros also has an extensive network of over 300 brokers and agents that are dedicated to providing unbiased, friendly, expert advice.

Speaking your own language, they will be pleased to help you.

Marbella Moments

by Nicole King OBVIOUSLY there are some things which really matter and sometimes being right can be important.

However, lately I’ve noticed how often we can go out of our way to prove a point when the only benefit is to let the other person know that they’re wrong. We’re all guilty of this to some degree and none of us is perfect, but I thought I’d make a mental note to really assess what’s important this year; always being right isn’t one of them and making other people feel silly or inferior is certainly never on my list.

Listening to the silly arguments over the festive season between spouses or friends, over the silliest things, really brought this point to light for me. Are we that lacking of real conversation that we need to resort to putting so much importance on things which really do not matter?

Have we become so self-important that we really believe our opinion means so much in the overall scale of things? Is being wrong so terrible anyway in most day-to-day situations?

We’re not meant to be perfect or all capable of the same things, or seeing things in exactly the same way. We’re meant to exchange views and broaden our horizons, not beat someone down until they submit to our judgement.

Even with major world issues at the end of the day it’s all just an opinion, whether it will be mine, yours, or someone else’s, and yet wars are fought on a small and large scale worldwide.

It’s just how we perceive the information we’ve received and how we process it, based on our teachings and experience which often will dictate our immediate beliefs.

Learning to listen to other people’s beliefs and accept them as part of the overall possibilities which life offers is a must, to avoid much futile arguing and worse. Do we really have to prove anything to others or are we fundamentally trying to prove something to ourselves?

More often than not, the harder we try to con-

vince someone of our truth the more they will feel the need to defend their position. If the person is not really interested in what we have to say or feels threatened in any way, our ‘vital’ information will fall upon deaf ears, only re-engaging when it’s their turn to talk, to explain why they’re right and we’re wrong.

They might not have even felt so strongly about the matter discussed unless they’d been forced to justify themselves.

Communication, the lack of it or the lack of ensuring our true message and meaning have been conveyed successfully, is key to all our problems, from minor misunderstandings to potential world-war situations.

The importance we give to a situation marks the path of how the event will unfold. Jumping to negative conclusions will surely bring the desired outcome, and making someone feel negative about themselves does no one any good.

RIGHT OR WRONG: A matter of perception.

There is a big difference between what ‘is’ and what we think it is, so perhaps we should spend less time trying to make people believe we’re right and spend more time trying to right the wrongs for more people.

Never to old to be a maverick FOR more than three decades I have received an ‘egotistical’ year-end newsletter from a friend and ex-colleague, Barbara Smoker.

Sent by ‘snail mail’ to her many friends, relations and admirers, her entertaining letters detail what she’s been up to in the previous year.

They are proof positive that age is no obstacle to an active and productive life, for Barbara, a writer and activist on many radical issues, is still gamely engaged in various campaigns, despite having turned 95 last June.

In several of her missives, Barbara informed her readers that she was working on a memoir, and when I received her latest letter, I was overjoyed to learn that she had finally completed it, and that My Godforsaken Life: Memoir of a Maverick, had just been published.

I first met Barbara in the 1970’s when I was a member of the AntiApartheid Movement, a gay rights ac-

Around 20 years on, when I became the 15th editor of the Freethinker mag-

azine, Barbara took on the role of proofreader and periodic contributor.

When I last saw Barbara, it was at a Secularist of the Year function in London in 2017, where I was presented

with a Lifetime’s Achievement Award for my campaigning against racism, homophobia and the presence of religion in government and places of learning.

She looked marvellous, as the picture in this column shows. But what I did is nothing compared to what Barbara accomplished.

Apart from her frequent speaking engagements on radio and TV, and conducting non-religious weddings and funerals, she financed the manufacture of the first Make Love, Not War badges that were popular in Britain during the 1960’s.

Being at the forefront of radical movements for 70 years, she has combatted religion, and opposed nuclear weapons and illegal wars. At the same time she was, and still is, championing humanism, women’s right to choose abortion, prison reform, freedom of speech, and voluntary euthanasia.

Her memoir, according to publisher Thornwick Press, ‘is a compelling account of her intellectual journey, her ruthless focus on ethics and principles, and her eccentric bloody-mindedness in challenging the accepted and wrong wisdom of the day.’

Barbara was born into a devout Roman Catholic family. As a girl she was torn between becoming a nun or a writer.

At the age of 26 after war service in Ceylon, she renounced Christianity and joined the ranks of the secular, humanist army.

For 25 years she was President NSS and led speaking tours in the USA and India to promote atheism. She even teamed up at one point with Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the US atheist who was dubbed ‘America’s most hated woman’ after she won a court case which banned prayers and Bible readings in public schools.

I had an invitation to visit O’Hair but unfortunately she was murdered in 1995 before I could get to meet her.

The sad news in Barbara’s newsletter is that she was diagnosed last May with advanced breast cancer, but cancelled an operation. She said her decision was ‘as rational and irrevocable as the one I made on November 5, 1949 when I renounced religion.’

She added: “In my opinion, medics give far too much priority to prolonging human life, irrespective of its quality - especially for oldies.”

A pain in the purse

TECH FOR THE TIMID A RAY of hope for those of us well into life’s injury time; youngsters are twice as likely to be scammed by internet fraudsters.

Well that’s a relief. I must share it with that nice Nigerian oil minister who has been helping me with my investments.

But it’s the so-called ‘family and friends’ frauds which ensnare most victims today. Scammers trick targets into believing that their loved ones are in dire financial need, or that they require money for medical treatment.

Last year, one in 10 young folks fell for it to the tune of more than €500 each on average, according to a recent study. One in 20 of the older folks shelled out just under €200.

Lest the wrinklies become too smug, they do indeed get caught more by criminals pretending to be household-name companies.

I have a neighbour with a serious vision problem; it was obscured by dollar signs, or why else would he have handed over half his savings

A friend in need may not be a friend indeed, warns Terence Kennedy

YES WE CON: Watch out, a thief’s about. to the man from the Pru who turned out not to be? Unless the Prudential has officially relocated to Azerbaijan.

That youngsters are twice as likely to be conned online, stands to reason given how many are vir-

tually welded to their smartphones.

Some of the infamous ‘family and friends’ scams are so ingenious as to be almost commendable.

A classic of the genre is the message received from what appears to be the phone of a target’s family

member, saying that the person has been in an accident abroad and needs money for medical care.

Or has been robbed, was arrested and needs bail, or has been detained by a famous store intending to press shoplifting charges unless the expensive item involved is paid for.

Away from such scams there are the well-oiled classics. Last month I won the United Nations lottery.

Again. All I had to do was pay a substantial currency clearing charge and the untold riches would be mine. Yeah, right.

So be savvy before reaching for your purse. If cries for help just might be legitimate, call back and insist on irrefutable proof of the situation described.

Golden payment rule: when in doubt, don’t. The day someone phones saying my wife is stranded and needs cash, no deal buddy. But heaven help me if it’s true.

Anti antiviral THERE you are, happily minding your own mouseclicks, and up pops a sign: ‘your computer has a virus!’

Relax, it usually hasn’t. But ‘scareware’ attacks are increasingly common, leading victims to install the suggested virus remover on their computer which then surrenders its control to the hijacker and money changes hands.

Most times you can safely ignore any virus warning which isn’t from your trusted antivirus program (you have got one installed, right?).

If the spoof virus warning freezes your machine (it happens), just use the failsafe option; reboot your computer.

Can’t do that either, at least the usual way? Then it’s emergency-stop time; simply hold down the physical power button until the computer powers off.

Odds are it’s hasta la vista ‘virus’ when you start up again.

What’s in a name?

Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England SEPTEMBER 1963, Frankfurt. Porsche AG launch a new sports car named the 901, after a discussion over naming rights with Peugeot, and by early 1964 the sports car’s name is changed to 911.

The rest as they say is history. Scroll forward to 2018 and Porsche is calling time on its seventh Generation of the 911, launching the eighth Generation on November 27 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Between the launch of the first Generation in 1963 and the end of October 2018 some 55 years later, Porsche AG manufactured 1,049,330 series 911s.

There are many amazing elements to the story of the 911. The evolution and refinements, the racing glory and wins, the sub eight-minute times on the Nürburgring.

Yet in the mind’s eye of the Porsche 911 owner, little has changed yet everything has.

The 911 is longer, wider, faster. Some might say tamer than the original 1963 sports car.

Some argue the refinements have made the 911 an easier car to master.

Its famed tendency to bite back and depart the road precipitously when in the hands of a too-enthusiastic driver helped to create the esprit of a band of brothers. Owners who considered themselves to be real drivers, pilots of the 911.

Over 55 years and seven generations the 911 was repeatedly transformed and refined. Com-

PORSCHE 911: Evolving through generations. petition, new materials and engineering solutions as well as pressure of regulation at different times in both the USA and Europe, the 911’s principal markets, contributed towards creative solutions in all parts of the 911.

Through it all the traditional classic silhouette of the 911 and its variants remain the constant evocation of a distinctive line. Drawn from elegant nose to masculine rear shoulders, variants and limited editions are placed along the timeline, many drawing the avid and specific attention of collectors. The Coupe, the Cabriolet, the Turbo, add the title ‘911’ and

you sprinkle stardust.

The 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show hosted the launch of the eighth Generation of the 911 on November 27 and the reveal saw the familiar evocative silhouette. Though the exterior design is new and underlines the leap in performance, wider wheel-housings arch over the 20-inch diameter front wheels and the 21-inch diameter rear wheels.

The rear shoulders of the car are now the same width across all models, highlighting the slimline centre section. Flush integration of the electronic pop-out door handles emphasises

the tapered and smooth contours of the silhouette.

Across the nose the body is 45mm wider than the seventh Generation while the rear of the new 911 is dominated, on all models, by a significantly wider variable position rear spoiler.

Beneath the spoiler lip across the width of the car is a seamless light bar.

The new interior is characterised by clear and straight lines of the fascia design with recessed instruments.

Alongside the dominant and centrally positioned rev counter, typical for Porsche, two thin frameless displays supply further information to the driver.

The Porsche 911 is not necessarily the most expensive sports car, some 911 variants may be acquired for as little as €100,000.

Which is not so large a sum to buy into a legend. What’s in a name? Everything.

Unfair pensions I AM pleased to see that the Spanish government is proposing to increase the pension for OAPs without restrictions, it would seem.

Not so our UK government. How so, I hear you ask. Last April a new pension rate was introduced of £164.35 per week, £657.36 per month, £8,545.68 per year. Great, so far so good. But wait, if you were born before April 1951 you don’t get it, you stick on the old rate. So, if you are 67 tough. In my case I’m down £803.92 per year.

I only found this information out through my company pension news sheet. How many of your readers are over 67? How many know they have been ripped off and by how much? I send this to Leapy as I love his column and no UK publication would print any of this, but I believe he would like to let readers know, in case they have not yet noticed due to the fluctuations of the pound against the Euro. You couldn’t make it up, could you.

I LIVE in Carvajal, Fuengirola for six months of the year. I have owned an apartment there for the last 16 years.

One thing that spoils our visit to the lovely beach is seeing people extinguishing their cigarettes out in the sand. My wife and I are both smokers, we always take some sort of container with us to the beach to extinguish our cigarettes, then dispose of it at the end of the day in one of the many bins.

The worst days are on a Sunday, when large families come to the beach and a lot of them discard their cooking oil, cigarettes, etc onto the beach. Can you imagine what the hundreds of thousands of cigarettes per year do to the sand?

The colour of the sand would, I imagine, turn several shades lighter in time. In Portugal they have signs by the beach asking people to ‘respect the environment.’ The beaches are in pristine condition. It would not cost a fortune to put similar signs on the Spanish beaches.

I am hoping that the appropriate Spainish authorities might take some action if they read this article.

OPINION & COMMENT

UNCERTAINTIES surrounding Brexit show no sign of going away, but one thing we can be sure of is the importance of registering as a resident in Spain.

British envoys including the country’s consul in southern Spain Charmaine Arbouin have called on expatriates to make sure they get their arrangements in order to safeguard their position post-Brexit.

The consul told Euro Weekly News that only registered British residents could be sure their rights would be protected after Britain leaves the EU. Being properly registered as a resident in Spain will make your situation here more secure and it could save you a bureaucratic headache after Brexit which is due this March.

The queue for registrations is likely to grow as we get closer to the planned Friday March 29 withdrawal date. If you need to get your residency you should aim to do so sooner rather than later.

Residency, known as residencia in Spanish law, is not the same as fiscal tax residency. You may be down as a tax resident but this will not give you the protection that residencia does.

Being registered in Spain will not only help you, but it will also benefit your local authority. Funding for local services including the police, fire brigade and ambulances is allocated depending on how many people are on the padron, a town’s register of its residents.

Now we want to hear your views.

WATCH: Racism on a busy bus probe as footage goes viral in Spain It appears that the only evidence of ‘racism’ in this episode is the woman playing the race card because she is being told to do something she doesn’t want to in order to comply with the rules of the bus she is on, and another passenger saying ‘I am a military man and I have been killing people like you for 20 years,’ which could be interpreted as anything you want. Why is this news? Every time there is even a sniff of racism the press and social media are all over it, whereas if it had been two white people and one had punched the other,

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE no one would care. Perceived racism is now seen as a bigger crime than violence. Please can we all get a grip.

AIRPORT SCAM: Taxis at Malaga Airport call out ‘mafia’ of illegal drivers What the taxi mafia means is, they don’t want relatives turning up to meet family members and therefore ‘depriving’ them of passengers.

No doubt there are some rogue drivers hanging around the airport (I’ve seen offers in Russian stuck on street lighting posts) but lay off the folks collecting family members!

Harry Malaga Airport is full of illegal ‘taxi drivers’ from Moroccans to English people offering cheap transfers illegally. The implications of travelling with any of these people is clearly stated above in this post. Remember if you’re not met inside the arrivals hall with your name clearly displayed on a board then the chances are you will be told to walk to the public car park as all PIRATES hide out of the way!!

Debra Taxi companies on the coast are very expensive and un-

friendly and rude, they should have more competitors.

Iris Please remember apart from being illegal , you and your luggage will not be insured.

Leftist Podemos accuses conservative PP of sowing division with Granada Spanish flag handout OMG the looney left rears its ugly head in Spain. These people really don’t have two brain cells to rub together. How the hell can a country’s national flag be racist or devisive, especially in a country like Spain where people have national flags everywhere? Time the likes of Podemos shut up and actually did something constructive rather than talking complete rubbish.

Famous quote

A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better. In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is perhaps something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) There is so much that has come to light in the past few weeks. It is no wonder that your mind is reeling. All will become clear in the weeks ahead and this cannot be rushed. However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve.

CATS AND DOGS: Wellknown phrase.

Women’s wit

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is.”

ARIES (March 21 - April 20)

Ever wonder where the phrase ‘It’s raining cats and dogs’ comes from? In the 17th century many homeless cats and dogs would drown and float down the streets of England, making it look like it literally rained cats and dogs.

One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals.”

Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high.

There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk whom you are willing to mix with.

Cultural differences apart, it is quite an eye-opener to find out how others live and think.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past.

There is, however, a balance to be found. Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on the back for that recent achievement? Socially, this is a lovely week when old friendships are strengthened and new acquaintances prove to be relaxing.

It is another mellow week but one in which you seriously consider making a major change.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action. Simply being in the right place and under someone's gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) H a v i n g p u t i n e x t r a e ff o r t t o bring a zing into your life, it is important that you keep the impetus going.

This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better. Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered.

Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days.

App of the week A Way to Slay A Way to Slay is a video game take on ‘the’ scene from a brutal action movie, where a sword-wielding hero is surrounded by enemies with their own pointy weapons. But with this app, you get endless time to plan your attacks because it’s not a pummeller, it’s a violent and bloody turn-based puzzler.

You have to figure out in which order to take out your opponents and how.

QUIZ: THERE’S A (FOREIGN) WORD FOR THAT 1. The name of which infective disease caused by sporozoan parasites that are transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito, comes from the Italian for ‘bad air’?

2. The name of which oriental system of unarmed combat using the hands and feet to deliver and block blows, comes from the Japanese for ‘empty hand’?

3. The name of which small long-bodied short-legged breed of dog with a short sleek coat and long drooping ears is derived from the German for ‘badger hound’?

4. What name for a small flat, house or room kept for occasional use is derived from the French for ‘foot to earth’?

5. What name, given to an apparition or double of a living person, comes from the German for ‘double-goer’?

6. What name, often applied to a person who engages in irregular warfare especially as a member of an independent unit carrying out harassment and sabotage, comes from the Spanish for ‘(little) war’?

7. What phrase that means an embarrassing blunder or indiscretion, comes from the French for ‘false step’?

8. Which adjective that means unthinkingly enthusiastic and eager, especially about taking part in fighting or warfare, is derived from the (Mandarin) Chinese word for ‘work together’?

9. Which US city, famous for entertainment and gambling and general excess has a name that comes from the Spanish for ‘the meadows’?

10. Which lively Brazilian dance that is similar to the samba has a name that comes from the Portuguese for ‘new trend’ or ‘new wave’?

Not a lot of people know that... the word moped was coined by the Swedish journalist Harald Nielsen in 1952, as a portmanteau of the Swedish words ‘motor’ and ‘pedaler.’

HEALTH BEAUTY

&

by Sally Underwood JANUARY is now in full swing, and with it a whole host of new beauty trends for the new year.

Beauty insiders claim this will be the year when colour rules supreme; from hair and make-up to fashion and nails.

Coral is set to be one of the biggest colours of the year, with experts predicting the look will be big in lip colours, blushers, and nails. There is also expected to be an overall trend towards bold lip colours, moving away from the more muted, natural look of previous years.

Some beauty companies are placing their emphasis on matte lip colours, while others are still pushing a high-gloss trend.

Either way, it is thought that bright pinks and oranges, as well as dramatic reds and berry shades will be on display this year.

Another lip trend is expected to be for a fuller look, using a lip pencil or lipstick to trace slightly outside the lip line. Industry insiders say this will also mean using a slightly lighter shade on the centre of the bot-

rier to healthier lifestyles among Brits, one in three (33 per cent) females under 25 say this prevents them from following healthier habits.

Cost (26 per cent), ‘already doing as much as I can’ (24 per cent), lack of time (21 per cent) and ‘it’s boring’ (17 per cent) make up the nation’s top five reasons for not following healthy habits. Overall, half (47 per cent) of Britons say they are as fit as they need to be.

Emma Clifford, Associate Director of Food and Drink at Mintel, said: “The generational difference highlighted in our research reflects the health implications of lifestyle choices and has far more relevancy and immediacy for older consumers.”

Generation gap IT’S the time of year when the nation traditionally resolves to eat healthily and do more exercise, but half of young Britons admit they cannot be bothered to lead a healthier lifestyle.

According to new research from Mintel, 49 per cent of under 25’s say it is a sheer lack of motivation which is preventing them from following healthy habits more often.

It’s the UK’s young women who are the most likely to say a lack of motivation is the reason they’re not as healthy as they could be, with some six in 10 (57 per cent) women aged 16-24 admitting they are not following healthy habits more often, due to this reason.

This is in stark contrast to the nation’s over 65’s, just 21 per cent of whom agree a lack of motivation is a contributing factor to not following a healthy lifestyle.

Meanwhile, 51 per cent of over 65’s say they already do as much as they can to follow healthy habits, compared to just 6 per cent of under 25’s.

which last longer are set to be one of the year’s biggest trends.

These manicures, which are

said to last longer than a traditional type, are somewhere between a regular manicure and

acrylic nails.

A professional will apply a base coat, and then instead of

using UV rays to seal in the polish, will paint your fingernails using pots of acrylic powder which supply the colour and help the polish to set. The results are thought to be able to last between three and four weeks.

While powder nails have been around for some years, experts believe they will increase in popularity this year due to their hard-wearing nature.

Finally, and in contrast to the matte look becoming popular elsewhere, will be the expected increase in glossy beauty products. Specifically, these are expected to be used on parts of the face where gloss is not traditionally placed.

Beauty bloggers are saying a new selection of glosses are able to be used on the eyelids, giving a glowing, healthy look, which also appears natural.

There is also a lean towards blushers which contain a small amount of sheen, and impart a glowing, flushed look to the skin, in place of a traditional blusher and highlighter combination.

Knee pain

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com KNEE pain; just one of those things which happens as you get older right?

Or because you’re a runner.

Or a tennis player.

Or a padel player.

Or. . . just one of those things you learn to live with.

Or is it?

If you’ve got knee pain and you aren’t making progress perhaps there’s more to it?

The whole body Everything in the body is connected. It should all work together as a team. If one part is out of balance then this can cause other parts to work harder, become lopsided. . . in other words it can cause pain elsewhere.

This is called referred pain and is a huge factor which is often ignored during the initial diagnostic work.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

People often only focus on the part which hurts.

This is why the first step in any treatment programme is a full, clinical assessment of the patient. Not just their knee but all the parts connected to the knee as well.

Great results If you don’t take the time to understand the cause of the pain you get stuck in a frustrating pattern; you have pain relief treatment and feel better for a while. Then it comes back. So you treat the pain again, and it comes back sooner. . . rinse and repeat.

You can get the best treatment in the world, but if you aren’t treating the right area you won’t get a good result. Sometimes it is just that simple.

If you aren’t making progress within six weeks of treatment, you’ve missed something.

Referred pain Earlier this month I had a gentle-

man come in complaining of long term (five + years!!) pain in his knee. He’d had two rounds of surgery on the knee with no improvement.

During my assessment I found he had an even longer history of lower back pain and hip pain. When he described the knee pain he talked about a ‘burning’ sensation. If you’ve read my previous articles about neural pain (now on my blog www.The BodyworksClinic.com/blog) you’ll know this is a huge red flashing light that we need to check what else is involved!

So rather than focus on his knee, we focused on his back, I taught him a couple of little tricks, and he walked out with no knee pain. Me, his wife, their friend, we were all in tears at the transformation.

All that time, pain and surgery and no one had ever taken the time to listen to him or look at the connections.

No one had ever done a thorough,

Kate Broadhead Health and Lifestyle coach IT can be daunting to change how you eat.

We are told conflicting messages constantly in the media; ‘don’t drink red wine,’ then ‘one red wine a day is good for you’ and so on.

Carbs have been taking the rap for a while now, but it is important to have a balanced view on which you should eat, and when. Unlike the popular Keto diet, it is not advisable to cut out carbs forever.

Your body requires carbs for energy particularly if you exercise. If you don’t fuel your body with carbs and protein, your body will begin to store fat for energy.

Many people believe carbs are simply bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. However, there are many good carbs which should be eaten including fruit, vegetables, oats, chickpeas, quinoa, lentils and beans.

On high-carb days you can fill your diet with these, as long as you keep the fat content low that day. Green veg contains so much fibre, you can eat as much as you like! Be wary of fruit on low-carb days however, as some are extremely high in carbs. A banana for example is around a whopping 25g! Try and stick to red berries instead which are also high in antioxidants.

Explaining carbs

KEEP IT SIMPLE: Healthy eating does not have to be complex.

Some simple low carb lunches: Chicken or turkey breast is high in protein and such a flexible and simple ingredient. Slice with avocado and walnuts in a simple salad, bake in the oven with melted cheese and chorizo and add spiralled courgette instead of spaghetti.

Soup is simple, tasty and does not have

to be boring! Experiment with vegetables; courgette and celery are fantastic with fullfat cream cheese to make a creamy soup which is almost zero carbs.

Removing scars WE all have them. Whether from an injury, surgery, illness, or burn, most people will end up with a scar at some stage.

While scars can remind us of our body’s remarkable capacity for survival and healing, there are some times when we don’t wish them to be particularly prominent.

In this case, there is plenty we can do to help fade or heal scars, making them less visible, and often helping to lessen discomfort, itching or pain. If you have recently sustained a cut or burn which you think may scar, unless on the advice of a doctor or pharmacist, it is important to let any scabs or open wounds heal before you begin to treat them.

Similarly, if you think there is any chance a wound may be infected, or you have suffered a bad burn, seek medical advice.

Once the cause of the scar has healed, you can now take steps to help limit any future redness or change in texture by massaging oil into a recent scar, keeping skin hydration levels up and promoting the creation of collagen.

For a burn, aloe vera gel works particularly well. It is important to limit any sun exposure

to the damaged area as this can make scarring worse.

For marks which you may have had for some time, and are perhaps white or raised, it is necessary to take a different approach. While keeping skin moisturised will still help with older scars, there are other alternatives which may help more.

There is some evidence to suggest silicone gels or patches applied to the area can make a marked difference to scarring, including those which are particularly red or inflamed.

Silicone presents a very low risk of side effects, and is available without prescription from most pharmacies.

For facial or acne scars, research suggests chemical exfoliants can help with texture and colour. Whether performed professionally, or at home using a lower-grade chemical, peels can slough off multiple layers of skin in one go, revealing newer, lessscarred skin beneath.

If you are still unhappy with any scarring, it is worth consulting a dermatologist who may recommend procedures or prescription medications which may help further.

For thousands of years bread has been a staple food for many cultures prepared from a dough of flour and water.

Feed it every day with equal quantities of flour and water for about seven days until you see the dough rising up the side of the glass jar, then it’s ready to go.

Make the dough (makes two loaves) 800g of strong white flour 450ml of tepid water 10g of sea salt 320g of our sourdough starter

ing the natural yeast from the air around us, which is a traditional method like my grannie used, but industrially produced yeast or high-pressure aeration is more common. Commercial bread usually contains additives to help improve texture, colour, shelf life and nutrition.

The best bread that we have ever eaten though is the bread our grandmother used to make and that recipe comes from her great grandmother. It goes back hundreds of years then suddenly after all these years, when we get bread so right and love it so much, we stop making and baking, and start buying bread from the shops, packed with additives, colourants and aeration agents, which makes it as light as a feather and often tasteless. Then we ask ourselves what happened to real bread?

My job as a leading chef is to recreate some of the world’s lost recipes and traditions and one of our most lost skills is making bread. We know that bread is high in carbs so I have been looking at how to make bread with no carbs.

I created a bread made from powdered nuts to create a nut flour instead of a wheat flour. Nuts I am, and regulars have seen me buying tons of almonds and eggs to replace wheat flour. It works really well - except that it tastes nothing like real bread and my grandmother’s bread still sticks in my head as the best ever.

My grandmother used to make sourdough and

TASTY: Traditional bread.

so I recently started researching how to recreate it for our restaurant. First you need to make a starter which is to get the natural yeast activated into the flour. By that I mean it finds the wild yeast from the air in our environment and although it’s just flour and water mixed together (nothing else at all) in eight/10 days it will be bubbling (fermenting) naturally and smelling a little sour like vinegar.

Then you take a spoon full of it and add it to equal quantities of flour and water, prove it and bake it.

The result is amazing, the flavour is fantastic and once you have made the starter (which takes patience) you never have to make it again as long as you always save some it will go on forever and if you don’t want to make bread daily simply put the starter in your fridge.

The fridge will slow down the bacteria and hold

it until you need it again. Simply take it out of the fridge a couple of days before you need it to make sure that it’s active again. You will need to feed your starter with equal quantities of flour and water every day for at least seven days, (like feeding a pet) but its worth it! I made my first batch using an original recipe below which is several hundred years old and we now serve it in the restaurant in the evening with creamy butter from Asturiana.

It is perfect, so damn perfect and so delicious that you will never want to buy bread again (unless you have to). For the restaurant it’s difficult because I have to have it every day and therefore I developed some quicker natural recipes like my soda bread. No equipment for these breads are needed, no expense, just beautiful bread ready to bake.

Nowadays we have a lot of gluten free clients.

Gluten free bread has been created for people affected by gluten related disorders. Gluten-free bread is made with ground flours from a variety of materials such as almonds, rice, corn, or pulses such as beans, but since these flours lack gluten they don’t hold their shape as they rise. Additives such as xanthan gum, guar gum, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, corn starch, or eggs are usually used to compensate for the lack of gluten and they usually contain more sugar to compensate for the lack of flavour so don’t think that these breads are healthier, because they are not!

Great Grannie’s traditional sourdough bread Bring it together as a dough and put on the table. Stretch and work the dough by kneading it firmly.

Be careful not to add too much extra flour as the more flour you add the heavier and tighter the bread will be. Roll into a neat round ball and prove for about three hours, it should double in size. Now knock the dough back and make it into a ball again.

Cut the dough in half and prove again for three hours. If you have a proving basket it will prove better as it proves upwards rather than sideways. If not you can get the same effect by proving it in a tea towel in a Pyrex bowl to avoid the dough spreading sideways as it proves.

After three hours turn the dough out and slash the top of the proved dough with a sharp knife and bake at a high tempera-

ture 230c/250c at the top of the oven with a tray of boiling water in the bottom of the oven to create some steam which will help the bread rise. Bake for 30 -35 mins.

Quick and easy Soda bread The flip side of my fantastic sourdough bread is a simple yeast fre e s oda bre a d w hic h is quic k and so easy and can be made from scratch cooked and served in under an hour.

Ingredients for 1 large loaf 250g plain flour 250g wholemeal rustic flour 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon caster sugar 450ml milk

SIMPLE: Sourdough bread.

Method I t ’s a b e t t e r loaf when you use buttermilk b u t w e c a n ’t get buttermilk easily in Spain and so I have developed this recipe. If using buttermilk you can replace the milk for buttermilk and reduce to about 400ml. To make this easy, tasty bread simply mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and pour the milk into a well in the centre of the dried ingredients then gradually bring it all together with your hands to form a dough. Roll into a ball (do not over knead) and then out onto a

tray lined with baking parchment. Slash the top of your loaf deeply with a sharp knife which helps cook it quicker but also adds aesthetics to the loaf.

Leave to rest in the ambient kitchen for 10 mins and then bake at 200c at the top of your oven for 30 mins.

Remove and rest on a cooling rack for a few minutes then slice warm (or toast it) and serve with good quality butter!

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

JANUARY 6 is the Pascua Militar, the military’s own fiesta when the King meets and addresses high-ranking representatives from the armed forces.

In this year’s speech, Felipe VI reminded all those present that Spain’s flag reflects its history and diversity.

Nice idea Felipe, and waving the flag as a symbol of diversity is a good try but the red and yellow flag - an even more recent arrival than Britain’s Union Jack and originally Spain’s naval ensign - was taken over years ago by Spain’s most conservative elements.

It symbolises Right and extreme RightWing demonstrations protesting against every liberal step forward which Spain takes, and naturally everything which a socialist government introduces.

As Spanish populism grows, waving the flag beloved by Spanish nationalists could divide far more than it unites.

Setting a pattern THE Partido Popular and Ciudadanos have already divvied up the regional government departments in preparation for their

Flying the flag takeover in Andalucia.

This hinged on the support of ultraRight-Wing Vox whose 12 seats have entirely altered not only Andalucia’s political complexion but Spain’s.

The party and the PP have now signed a 37-point agreement which includes the creation of a Family department and official backing for bullfighting but leaves genderviolence legislation untouched.

Now everyone is waiting to see if the party boxes clever or throws its weight around, demonstrating its power by holding

the PP and Cs to ransom once they are in power.

What happens next in Andalucia could set the pattern for future alliances in next May’s municipal and regional elections, with Vox deciding not only its own future outside the region but also the PP’s and Cs.’

Zealous abbot FRANCO’S family does not want the old dic-

Vote-repellent SANTIAGO ABASCAL, who heads the Vox party, referred to antigender violence legislation, and particularly Andalucia’s, as ‘the commandments of the gender dictatorship.’

It could be that some women over-compensate, but get used to it, Sr Abascal. They’ve centuries and millennia of male dictatorship to over-compensate for, and although Abascal might be uncomfortable about that, not many women are.

He would do well to remember that roughly 50 per cent of the electorate are women.

tator’s remains removed from the Valle de los Caidos mausoleum.

The Almudena cathedral in Madrid is the only alternative location which the family will consider, but this is impractical.

The Valle del los Caidos is at least out of the way, unlike the rather ugly Almudena in the centre of the capital,which would become a shrine for the loony right.

The Church hierarchy was resigned to a move, but the Benedictine abbot of the Valle de los Caidos, Santiago Cantera, refuses to allow access.

Before he took holy orders, Cantera was a Falange Española candidate in the general and European elections and Franco is clearly in good company.

In fact, it looks as though it would be easier to forget the departed dictator by leaving him to moulder in his mausoleum than digging him up and keeping him in the news.

ABASCAL: Needs to remember 50 per cent of the electorate are women.

Some states in the US wanted to ban car radios when they were first introduced because they thought it would distract drivers and cause more accidents.

New Mercedes CLA Coupe GERMAN car maker MercedesBenz has unveiled its new CLA Coupe, a car the company says is the most emotional vehicle in its class and highly intelligent.

The company said the car comes equipped with features including augmented reality to aid with navigation and a voice commands feature.

They come as part of an Intelligent Drive package which also includes features designed to improve aerodynamics and assist with driving.

ROAD TEST

by Nick Fletcher THE premium SUV sector has been mostly dominated by German contenders in recent years, but now Swedish manufacturer Volvo is vying with the best of them and its latest XC60 model underlines why.

This spacious and luxurious SUV has its own distinct persona, immaculate build quality and strong reliability record, and with well-equipped D3 entry versions starting at €42,050 (£37,770) is also very price competitive.

In the line-up there are two diesel engines, one petrol unit and a plug-in hybrid available and my test model was a mid-

said the car showed the company was going to the next level.

“The CLA offers a great deal of automotive intelligence. By recognising gestures it facilitates natural operation,” Kallenius said.

The CLA comes as a four-door coupe. Mercedes said the design was ‘seductive’ and that it represented ‘sensual purity.’

The car combines a long stretched entry line above the windows and frameless doors which give it a sporty and elegant look.

The front section is striking and is raked forward like a shark while the long stretched bonnet

features powerdomes.

Gordon Wagener, head of design at Daimler, said the car had the potential to become a modern design icon.

“It impresses with its perfect proportions reflecting the first design sketch; a long stretched bonnet, a compact greenhouse, a wide

track with exposed wheel arches and our typical GT rear end with a strong distinctive ‘Coke-bottle shoulder,’” Wagener said.

The car is powered by a fourcylinder petrol engine which delivers 225 horsepower. Its Intelli-

The diesel engine is smooth and relatively quiet and offers a top speed of 220kph (137mph), a quick 0-100kph time of 6.8 seconds, and average fuel economy of 16.6kpl (47.1mpg).

everyday practicality.

Externally, the XC60 has a sleeker and more potent look than some rivals and the cabin is a triumph of clean crisp userfriendly design. Buttons and switches are kept to a minimum with most controls operated via

a large vertical-format central touch screen.

The test model comes with leather sports seats and other kit includes dual-zone climate control, sat-nav, connectivity features, front and rear parking sensors and LED headlights.

Safety kit includes pedestrian, cyclist and large animal detection, lane-keeping aid and auto emergency braking.

There are formidable rivals in the class yet the Volvo XC60 still stands out.

It looks superb, feels really special to be in, and Volvo’s legendary reputation for durability and notably strong resale values give it a particular allure.

La Liga Preview

Wins for La Liga’s big guns REAL MADRID manager, Santiago Solari, had a challenge on his hands at the weekend as his squad took on Real Betis.

A string of injuries and a poor run of late meant Solari had to glean something from the game.

So he took the bold decision to opt for a new system with three centre-backs and five across the middle, leaving Marcelo and Isco out of the squad.

In attack he let the young guns take the lead with the likes of Cristo, 21, Brahim Diaz, 19, and 18-year-old Vinicus, who put on fine performances.

And they weren’t alone, as Dani Ceballos came on in the 74th minute as the game stood at 1-1, and scored the winning

goal from a free kick on 87 minutes.

Despite being booked, Ramos led impressively from the back in a three-man defence and Modric opened the score sheet.

Benzema had to be substituted off at half time as he joined the injury list with a fractured finger after going down during a challenge.

The win itched Los Blancos up to fourth place in La Liga.

Barcelona took their three points with slightly more ease as they stormed past Eibar 3-0.

Suarez scored in the first half and within six minutes of each other Messi grabbed a goal and Suarez took his second. Coutinho was back to his best and played a major part in Barca’s

first two goals.

But Eiber were more impressive than the result suggests, and the Barcelona defence was tested throughout.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid celebrated a 1-0 win over Levante which keeps Los Rojiblancos second to La Liga leaders Barcelona.

Valencia are 10th in the league after a 1-1 draw against Real Valladolid.

In the second division, RCD Mallorca took three points after beating Deportivo 1-0, as did Malaga with a 2-0 win over Zaragoza. Las Palmas pushed past Osasuna with a 4-1 result, Elche celebrated a 1-0 defeat over Gimnastic and Almeria drew 0-0 against Alcorcon.

Olympics return hopes TRIATHLON athlete Javier Gomez Noya has said he hopes to compete in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

The five-time world champion recently competed in the Ironman tournament in Hawaii where he came 11th.

Gomez said he did not want to go to the Olympics just to participate, indicating he will put his all into the 2020 games.

“I have decided to return to the short distances and the world series to try to qualify for Tokyo. I want to see how I respond now to Olympic distances and if I look competitive I will look for classification in the Games,” he said.

Gomez added he had made mistakes while competing at the Ironman in Hawaii’s A Kona.

“It was a different year in 2018 and as you know it was not as I would have liked,” Gomez said.

“I made a mistake and I paid dearly, I risked too much on the bike,” he added.

Gomez said he planned to focus on short distances as part of his training.

“After 15 years in the short distances I needed to refresh my mind. My body was asking

for a change.

“The learning was very good. It helped me to know myself much better, to get out of my comfort zone.

“It is more complicated than it seems. There are factors in the short distance that do not have relevance in long distances and competing with different rivals always motivates,” Gomez said.

RETURN PLAN: Gomez said he wants to compete in 2020.

SPANISH tennis player Rafael Nadal has knocked James Duckworth out of the Australian Open in the first round of the tournament days after recovering from injuries.

Nadal, 32, beat the Australian by 6-4, 6-3 and 7-5 in a game that lasted two hours and 15 minutes. The Mallorcan had previously spent 129 days recovering from and being treated for injuries to his right leg and abdomen.

Nadal said on the court after the match that he was very happy to have gotten through the first round.

“It’s not an easy comeback after a lot of months, and especially against a player who’s super aggressive,” he said.

Duckworth, 26, was considered a wild card in the tournament. Nadal seemed to be back in full form following his absence from the sport and even introduced a remodelled serve into the game.

Nadal won a total of 74 per cent of firstserve points and delivered six aces. He was broken to love when serving at 5-3 in the third.

Nadal said his being broken was not down to the new serve.

“My serve worked well. There were a lot of good positions after the first serve. I felt solid with the second,” Nadal said.

Nadal had been forced to pull out of the Brisbane International earlier this month due to thigh strain.

The 32-year-old is now set to face Australian Matthew Ebden in the second round of the Open.

WINNER: Nadal beat Duckworth in the first round.
