Population now a third British BRITISH residents now make up more than a third of the populous in Rojales and Quesada, with 16,560 residents, 70 per cent of the population from foreign shores. According to the National Institute of Statistics, 5,648 of these are from the UK. It has been suggested the ‘increase in numbers’ could be down to residents registering to vote in the upcoming European elections. The British consulate in Alicante and the British Embassy in Madrid have long stressed the importance of all residents registering correctly, especially those that now see Spain as their second home. This is largely so that British expatriates can benefit from the bilateral agreements between the two countries, should the UK ever leave. With more than half of the registered Brits being over 65,

SPANISH Guardia Civil and the FBI have detained a total of 31 people, including an Alicante man, and identified 145 victims of a worldwide online paedophile ring. The year-long Operation Craven has reportedly closed down the entire network. Most arrests and victims were in the USA, but in Spain there were three arrests and eight children were identified. It has been revealed ‘hunters’ were dedicated to the tracking of minors, mainly girls aged eight to 14, looking for those that would engage in innocent video-chats. Victims were then sent links to chatrooms that involved many more paedophiles who would allegedly groom the victims. ‘Loopers’ then used additional technology to manipulate still and moving images of the victims, engaging in various increasingly degrading acts. An Alicante man was sentenced to 180 years in jail for 38 crimes of production and distribution of pornographic material with minors.

Letters 61 Time Out 65-68 Health & Beauty ANCIENT SCULPTURE: The Dama de Elche is on display in Madrid’s National Archaeological Museum.
Museum marvel THIS picture of one of Spain’s most famous artefacts comes as the world marks International Museums Day on Saturday. The Dama de Elche (Lady of Elche) is currently held in Madrid’s National Archaeological Museum. It is believed to date from the 4th century BC and is thought to represent an ancient goddess. The sculpture takes its name from the town of Elche in Alicante Province, Valencia where it was discovered in 1897. Manuel Campello Esclapez found
the Dama de Elche on August 4, 1897. Campello Esclapez is said to have uncovered it while clearing land in the La Alcudia area for farming. It was initially acquired by the Louvre in Paris before being returned to Spain in 1941. It was moved to the National Archaeological Museum in 1971 and was loaned to Elche in 2006. The Dama de Elche is thought to have been painted in bright colours when it was originally made. Historians and archaeologists believe it was made by Punic-Iberians, a hybrid cul-
ture of pre-Roman Spanish natives and settlers from North Africa. The sculpture is thought to represent the Carthaginian goddess Tanit and the design also has Ancient Greek features. The artefact has become synonymous with ancient Spanish history. It featured on the one-peseta banknote in 1948. It has also inspired art including in French painter James Tissot’s Jephthah’s Daughter, produced shortly after the sculpture’s discovery. Tissot based other works on the Dama de Elche.

Four new routes will open this year, with destinations such as Prague, Mallorca, Asturias and Warsaw.

Alicante crackdown TWENTY locations across Alicante were targeted by police in a major crackdown on antisocial behaviour in their streets. Almost 100 fines were meted out, mainly in the ‘El Barrio’ area and the old town, last Friday. Misdemeanours varied from drinking and fighting in the street to taking drugs. Several bars were also fined for allowing customers to drink outside. The operation was repeated on Saturday, returning similar figures. The mayor of Alicante, Luis Barcala, praised the move, and said: “It will continue in our city until we eradicate this practice carried out by young people in Alicante.” The councillor for Safety said the enforcement aims “to turn Alicante into a reference point for other cities.”
ACCESSIBILITY: One of the issues discussed during a training day. MORE than 30 companies took part in a training day organised by Orihuela Tourism Department. Issues such as accessibility were discussed, as were the department’s improvement plans to attract greater numbers of tourists. Those involved included hoteliers, restaurateurs, transport companies, shops, museums and tourist information offices.
Sofía Álvarez, councillor for Tourism, thanked the companies for their participation and she acknowledged the importance of the private sector being involved in this type of project. Álvarez added that this type of initiative serves to raise awareness to all of the services offered to tourists. She said: “We know our history, but also our gastronomy, with our entrepreneurs as hosts.”

Royal Mother’s Day by Sally Underwood PRINCE HARRY and Megan Markle celebrated American Mother’s Day on Sunday by sharing a photograph of their new-born’s feet. The photograph showed oneweek-old Archie Harr i s o n Mountbatten-Windsor swaddled in a blanket and cradled in his mother’s arms. Alongside the photograph, which was shared to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s official Instagram account, read the message: ‘Paying tribute to all mothers today - past, present, mothers-to-be, and those lost but forever remembered. We honor and celebrate each and every one of you. Today is Mother’s Day in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya,
Japan, and several countries across Europe.’ The message added: ‘This is the first Mother’s Day for the Duchess of Sussex.’ Royal commentators believe the reference to mother’s ‘lost but forever remembered’ was a tribute to Prince Harry’s own late mother,
Princess Diana. The photograph also appears to have been taken in front of a bed of forget-me-nots, reportedly Princess Diana’s favourite flowers. The caption used American spellings of words including ‘honor,’ leading commentators to speculate whether the Duchess of Sussex had written the message herself.

Starr had previously said he wanted to die in ‘the place I love.’ A British funeral director has offered to repatriate his body and hold a service for free after his family found themselves struggling to pay roughly €3,240 for a Spanish bur-
ial. Comedian Bobby Davro, one of those who paid tribute to Starr on social media, said: “He was the funniest man I have ever seen.” Starr was born Frederick Leslie Fowell in Huyton in Lancashire. He performed with The Midnighters Merseybeat group before breaking into mainstream British popular culture with an appearance on the Opportunity Knocks talent show. Starr later became known for his eccentric behaviour and was famously accused of eating a friend’s hamster in 1986. He later claimed in his 2001 autobiography Unwrapped that the story was
false.The 1990s saw Starr front a number of TV shows including The Freddie Starr Show. The comedian was later dogged by allegations of sexual abuse. He was arrested in 2012 and 2014 before the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case Starr moved to the Costa del Sol after losing a defamation case against his accuser in 2015. “I thought ‘I’m not going to tell anyone, I’m just going to get on a plane and go to Spain, the place I love, and this is where I’m going to die’,” he later said.

IDENTITY: Borrell said a sense of being Spanish needed to be built.
Spanish identity SPAIN’S Foreign Minister has said the country lacks a sense of identity in comparison with others in Europe. Josep Borrell said stronger senses of identity could be seen in countries such as Italy and Hungary, but added theirs was perhaps too excessive. He was speaking at a debate at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. “Identities do not grow on trees, they are a social con-
struction, they are built. You feel something because you live in an ecosystem which builds your identity,” Borrell said. “Your family, school, the television you watch, it all makes you Spanish or not. But you are not born with an identity package, we have to build a national identity and in Spain it is very weak,” the minister added. Borrell added it was possi-
ble to have a European identity while also having a national one. “The European identity does not destroy the national identity, it gives you an additional one. It’s like Russian dolls,” Borrell said. He added Europeans should mix more through the Erasmus programme and other schemes to help cement peace and friendship among EU members.

Spain: Gibraltar ‘illegally occupied’ SPAIN’S Foreign Ministry said Britain’s control of Gibraltar amounts to an ‘illegal occupation’ as representatives from Madrid presented their case on the enclave to the UN. Foreign Ministry officials said
the British enclave was a colony within its own borders and said its ongoing ‘occupation’ raises issues in the modern era. This comes as Spanish envoys travelled to Grenada to make the country’s case on the
territory to the UN. They argued Gibraltar was different to others on the UN list of non self-governing territories because the principle of self-determination is often applied there. Almost 99 per cent of its

It comes as Spain recently got the EU to refer to Gibraltar as a colony in a document covering post-Brexit visa arrangements. A spokesperson for British Prime Minister Theresa May said at the time that the use of the term in relation to the enclave was ‘unacceptable.’ Spain has claimed Gibraltar since the enclave was seceded to Britain under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 following the War of the Spanish Succession.

Edificio España THE past 15 years have seen the ownership of the landmark Edificio España building in Madrid change, with sales totalling more than €800 million in that time. Originally sold by Santander Bank, it changed hands twice between Chinese companies and was then purchased by Grupo Baraka and was sold the same day for a profit to the Riu Hotel chain for refurbishment. A dispute however arose concerning own-
ership and chairman of Baraka, Trinitario Casanova (who was previously fined for manipulating the price of Banco Popular ’s shares in 2008 - which he denies) asked the Madrid Court to instruct the hotel
giant to suspend works on the building for alleged breach of contract. The court however has now ruled that he was unable to prove he was the joint owner or held any rights to any part of the building and awarded costs against Grupo Baraka.

BREXIT BRIE
Election latest CAMPAIGNING for the EU elections in Britain is now in full swing, with significant upsets anticipated as new Brexitfocused groups look set to siphon votes away from established parties. An Opinium poll for The Observer suggested Nigel Farage’s new Brexit Party could win more votes than the Conservatives and Labour combined. The party polled at 34 per cent, ahead of Labour in second place with 21 per cent, the Liberal Democrats in third and the Conservatives in fourth. Conservative losses have by and large come from leavesupporting Tories ditching the party in droves ahead of the election on Thursday May 23. Labour has also suffered from the same effect, but to a lesser degree. The Liberal Democrats appear to have taken up the mantle of being the remain party after making extensive gains in local elections earlier this month. Change UK, formerly The Independent Group which was spawned by Labour and Conservative defections earlier this year, languishes in last place with 3 per cent. That party had originally sought to pitch itself as the leading advocate for remain, but has been dogged by scandals while struggling to build its identity and momentum.
Call By Joe Gerrard THE possibility of Britain’s Brexit impasse being settled by a second referendum has increased after a leading Labour opposition’s figure said a deal would not pass without a public vote. Shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer said his party would be unable to provide Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal with a workable majority without a second referendum. Starmer is currently leading talks for Labour with the ruling Conservatives which seek to reach a cross-party agreement on getting a deal through Westminster. “A significant number of Labour MPs, probably 120 if not 150, would not back a deal if it hasn’t got a confirmatory vote,” Starmer told British media. Labour deputy leader Tom Watson said it would be difficult to enforce a Brexit agreement without a second vote. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn also said another vote could be a ‘healing

fore voters go to the polls on Thursday May 23. Downing Street sources said there was a ‘clear desire’ to reach a deal. May will need to find a consensus to put to parliament or face having a rerun of the indicative votes staged earlier this year. David Lidington, May’s de facto deputy, said the government was aiming to get a deal through Parliament by July 2.

ACCORDING to the president of the Spanish Association of Video Games (AEVI), Alberto Gonzalez Lorca, turnover for video game sales in Spain was €1.530 million in 2018. This is an increase of 12.6 per cent over 2017 figures and the results show that video gaming earns almost double that of the combined turnover for films and recorded music.
Growth has been fed by a huge increase in online gaming with income of €680 million, but the physical market still leads the way with €849 million spent on software, hardware and accessories. Other interesting statistics which have been revealed are that there are now some 16.8 million active gamers in Spain of which, perhaps surprisingly, 41 per cent are women.
One area in which the Spanish do lag behind other European partners is in the area of weekly hours of play which averages 6.2 compared to France at 6.6, Germany 7.4 and the UK 9.1 hours. With this volume of growth, the industry is contributing a significant amount to the Spanish economy both in direct and indirect taxes as well as increasing employment.

Central bank economy warning SPAIN has called on the EU to look into slapping duties on imported energy to protect European plants from competition despite importing coal-produced energy from Morocco. The European Commissioner for Energy and Climate Action Miguel Arias Cañete replied to Spanish Climate Change Minister Teresa Ribera’s request for tariffs last week. He said charging for imports was possible on economic and environmental grounds. This comes as Spain began importing energy from Morocco at the start of this year as the former country continues to wind down its use of fossil fuels. Moroccan-produced energy tends to be cheaper because power plants do not have to pay for pollution permits.

Power tariff call SPAIN’S central bank has said global economic growth will likely slow down this year amidst ongoing uncertainty and risk. The Bank of Spain said the ongoing trade war between the US and other parts of the world, Brexit and slowdown in China’s economy were among the factors slowing growth. “Any of these events or a combination of them would have an impact on the global economy, which could become significant, meaning economic stabilisation policies have a limited scope for action,” the bank’s report said. The bank forecasts world economy will grow by 3.3 per cent this year, three 10ths less than in 2018. Growth prospect for the EU have been reduced ‘remarkably’, according to the Bank of Spain. Factors affecting it include ongoing unrest in France due to the Gilet Jauntes (Yellow Vest) protests and the ongoing recession in Italy.

Organ donations rise THE donation of organs rose by 8 per cent in Spain in the first four months of the year. Transplants also increased by 5 per cent, according to the director of the National Tr a n s p l a n t O rg a n i s a t i o n (ONT), Beatriz DominguezGil. The figure was announced at the opening ceremony of the 16th National Meeting of Transplant Co-ordinators and Communication Professionals.

According to the director, if Spain continues at this rate, it could exceed 49 donors per million inhabitants and reach 5,400 transplants per year.
‘MISTREATMENT’: The horse was being ridden at the Sevilla City feria (file photo).
Fury after feria horse falls AN animal rights group has spoken out after footage posted to social media showed a horse convulsing on the ground during Sevilla City’s feria. The horse reportedly fell last week while it and its rider were on their way to the fair. The Party against the Mistreatment of Animals (PACMA) said the horse and others were often subject to ‘gruelling and strenuous days’ while at the feria.
“We must have fun without using and mistreating animals. Every year dozens of horses die at the feria,” PACMA said. Footage posted to social media and shared by PACMA showed the horse writhing on the floor and kicking its hind legs while being unable to get up. Some feria-goers traditionally ride horses while at the event. The animals are also used to pull carriages.

NATALIA SANCHEZ, the Mallorcan student who went missing from Paris a week ago, has been found safe and well. The Erasmus student, who had two weeks of her course left in the French capital, was traced after a couple reported seeing her on a bus. The tourists claim the girl befriended them on a bus and was behaving unusually before asking them for help in getting out of Paris. They said they tried to reassure her but she became suspicious of them and left. The couple said they later realised she was the girl who had gone missing a week before and so alerted authorities, who were able to find her. The same day she had gone missing, Natalia is said to have posted a series of worrying messages to her social network pages, saying she felt ‘persecuted.’ After police tracked the girl down, she was admitted to a Parisian psychiatric hospital for several days.

Century’s 2nd-wettest April LAST April was the second wettest in Spain in the 21st century and saw the fourthhighest rainfall on record, according to data from the country’s meteorological agency AEMET.
AEMET figures showed an average of 96 litres of rain per square metre fell on Spain during April. That is 48 per cent higher than the 65litre average recorded between 1981 and 2010.
The rainiest day was Friday April 19, when 99 litres per square metre fell on the area around Alicante-Elche Airport. Parts of the Valencia and Murcia regions saw more than three times their average amount of rainfall. Eastern provinces in Andalucia saw about double while Mallorca saw half the average amount.

PUZZLE: The coins were found in Utah’s Glen Canyon.
Spanish coin mystery by Joe Gerrard EXPERTS have begun working to find out how a Spanish coin minted in the 1200s ended up in what is now the US after it was found in Utah. The coin was found with another minted in Madrid in 1660 in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The one made in the 13th century has puzzled archaeologists and historians due to it predating Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas by more than 200 years. Spanish explorers did not arrive in Utah until 1776.
Glen Harmon, an archaeologist from the US’ National Park service, said the older coin looked as though it dated from the mid to late 13th century. Experts are still working to find out exactly when and where it was made, he added. “Based on the design we’re very confident that one of the coins, the larger one, is called the 16 maravedi,” Harmon said. Theories propose the coins may have been left by early settlers or explorers or that they were traded with a Native American tribe. Others suggest they were brought to America long after being minted or that they were dropped by a modern coin collector.

By Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S prime minister has completed a round of talks with other party leaders as he continues to seek a coalition deal following April’s general election. Pedro Sanchez has not yet said which party or parties he will work with going forward. He met with the leaders of the conservative Partido Popular (PP), the centrist Ciudadanos and the leftist Podemos last week. PP leader Pablo Casado’s turn came first. By election day on Sunday April 28, it appeared the relationship between the two was in disrepair, with each trading heavy rhetorical blows in the run up to the vote. Their meeting appeared to show a thawing of relations,

Casado, who is still dealing with the fallout from the election which saw the PP score its worst result in its history, said his party would not back Sanchez’s reinvestment. Talks between Sanchez and Ciudadanos leader Albert

Rivera offered to support Sanchez if he chose to reinstate Article 155 in Cataluña, the constitutional mechanism used to suspend its regional government and impose direct rule in 2017.

nue leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) while Sanchez remains its leader. Sanchez then met with Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias. Their talks follow 10 months of PSOE and Podemos co-operation in the Congress of Deputies since PSOE came to power last June. Sources from both parties said they had built trust and understanding between them in that time, possibly laying the foundations for a coalition deal. Iglesias told reporters after the meeting he and Sanchez had ‘agreed to agree.’ Both sides said the meeting was positive and the two had been able to find common ground on a number of issues. Party sources suggest there will not be further meetings between the two until after local, regional and EU elections on Sunday May 26. But the two have agreed to work together during the Congreso investiture vote which Sanchez needs to win to stay on as prime minister. It is due to take place on Tuesday.
Local forecast THE left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) is on course to take control of several authorities in local and regional elections on Sunday May 26, new polling suggests. Spain’s Centre for Sociological Investigation (CIS) forecast PSOE would win in 10 of the 12 regions up for grabs, including in the conservative Partido Popular’s (PP) Murcia stronghold. PSOE is set to fall just short of an absolute majority, 16, in Sevilla City, winning between 13 and 15 council seats with 42.3 per cent of the vote. PSOE is also set to surge in Zaragoza City, becoming the second-largest party with between eight and nine councillors in a typically PP-safe city. The PP is still set to win there and get between nine and 10 councillors, but PSOE could join with other leftist parties to wrestle control from them. Regionalist party Compromis is set to win the most seats, between nine and 11, in Valencia City. PSOE looks set to come second with between six and eight councillors. City-focused parties Mas Madrid and Barcelona en Comu look set to be the largest parties in the Spanish and Catalan capitals.

Blaze terror THREE people have been seriously hurt and around 80 evacuated after fire swept through a squatted building. The alarm was raised at about 1pm on Monday when one of the squatters heard a woman’s screams and called emergency services. An Ibanat (forestry firefighters) helicopter had to be scrambled to rescue two people who became trapped in an attic in the apartment block on Calle Jacinto Aquenza, Ibiza. Plumes of smoke could be seen from kilometres away as the fierce fire blazed. The flames were finally brought under control around 4.30pm. Initially two fire appliances plus groundbased Ibanat personnel were called in, as well as five ambulances, the crews of which treated nine people. Three men are in a critical condition as a result of the fire. All are of Moroccan nationality, reported the Health Area of Ibiza and Formentera.
HELP: Ibanat forestry firefighters and helicopter joined in the rescue. One of them fell six metres as he tried to escape the flames. He is in intensive care suffering from burns, smoke inhalation and injuries from the fall. One of the men has very serious burns and has been transferred to the Burns Unit of the Hospital la Fe in Valencia. The third is also suffering from burns.

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.policia.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.administracione 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 creditcard 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.’ This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Santander said any agreement reached with unions would be struck in accordance with Article 12 of Spain’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, the law which governs negotiations over potential job losses. The CCOO said it would aim to get Santander to agree to saving as many jobs as possible. Workers offered early retirement packages should get a ‘sufficient’ payoff to provide long-term stability, the union added. “This should allow them to leave in an
orderly and stress-free manner,” the union said. Another union, UGT, said staff could not continue to pay the price for company restructuring. Current talks come as Santander announced plans to close 140 branches in Britain, cutting 1,270 jobs, in January.

About 30 per cent do so,” Neilsen said. “We employ about 360 people at the moment, but we are aiming to reach 500. We can offer clients services in their native language,” he added.
Bankrupt families THE amount of Spanish families who declared bankruptcy for not making debt payments fell by 3.3 per cent in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period of 2018, National Institute for Statistics (INE) figures show.
Reform call THE CSIF trade union has called for a change in labour laws to bring worker representation to staff in small and medium-sized companies after finding that 4.3 million of Spain’s 17 million workers are employed in non-unionised firms.
New post SPANISH Economy Minister Nadia Calviño has been appointed president of the board of governors of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) alongside her ministerial brief for a year, replacing current head Jyrki Katainen.

Times have changed LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT NO blacks. No Irish and no dogs. This is the oft publicised ‘unacceptable face of racism,’ of the late 50’s and early 60’s, when landladies, letting out rooms in areas of London and other cities posted this on the doors and windows of their establishments. By today’s standards these signs do of course appear utterly disgusting and totally unacceptable. But times have changed drastically since those far more insular and uninformed times. Back then, these were not blanket judgements, simply because of someone’s skin colour or country of origin. They were decisions made because of the general reputation gained by those who were considered foreigners at that time. Many Irish were not welcomed by landladies because the vast majority worked the roads and building sites, and on weekends were renowned for arriving back at all hours and keeping all the other tenants awake by bellowing Irish ditties at the tops of their voices. People of colour had, in the main, only recently arrived from countries which were far less developed than the UK, with many having never even seen a toilet or experienced abodes with running water. Through no fault of their own, their general stan-
dards of living were vastly different to the locals. The landladies simply couldn’t cope with the culture differences. As for dogs, this was in no way a comparison. Merely that landladies didn’t want the barking to annoy the other tenants. We weren’t racists; we were merely treating those around us as we found them. I personally NEVER judged people by creed or colour. In those heady flower-power days, I truly did believe the UK was the forerunner of how the whole world would be one day; convinced that in the words of Blue Mink and Madeline Bell, (who I know still peruses this column) that all we did indeed require was a great big melting pot, turning out coffee coloured people by the score! For a time I lived in Bayswater’s All Saints Road. At the end of the road was a pub frequented mainly by the black neighbourhood community. I was often the only white face in the pub and thoroughly enjoyed the company and the Ska and reggae music while enveloped in the vaguely sweet aroma of ‘pot.’ No racism there either. Some years later I returned to reminisce in the area which held so many memories. The taxi driver wouldn’t even drive down the street! I walked to the packed, still wholly black clientele pub and after a few minutes made the decision to leave because of the uncomfortable silence which had descended over the whole establishment. I truly was utterly
SIGN: Found in establishments in the 1960s. shocked and disappointed. Believe me, we were never the racists. Generally we welcomed those from different societies. We never envisaged that our liberal attitude would in later years bring the threat of other religions and cultures trying to alter our whole way of life and democratic liberty. No wonder the UK is now infested with racist views.
When you find yourself arguing racism with some snowflake or another, remember to remind them of one thing. Those people had all the best intentions in the world. And now find their very freedom of speech threatened! Just saying… Keep the faith, Love, leapy. leapylee 2002@gmail.com.

Good insurance gives peace of mind INSURANCE can give you peace of mind when you unexpectedly face expense which you can ill afford. It’s only when you suffer a significant loss that you realise how important it is to have good insurance cover to help you at what can be a very difficult time. SunBay Insurance situated in Aguas Nuevas, Torrevieja offers a complete range of insurance for you and your family working with a range of different insurers. Whilst you can often obtain insurance online direct from insurance companies, the use of a knowledgeable broker ensures that they do the work to find the best and most economic insurance for you. The range of different insurances is significant and it is true to say that an insurer for one type may
not be best for another risk, for example some home insurers have very low maximum protection for jewellery and precious items whilst others offer a significantly higher coverage for not that large an additional premium. Monica at SunBay is committed to try to find the very best coverage based on each client’s needs and pocket. Currently, many expatriates have to consider health coverage after Brexit and the cost of their funeral which could fall on a relative’s shoulders who may not even be living in Spain. Monica and her colleagues know it is difficult enough to cope with arranging a funeral in your own country without having to cope with different rules, regulations and laws here in Spain which is why SunBay has developed Caser
Funeral Insurance, an insurance with which you and your family are guaranteed total peace of mind. Currently expatriate pensioners who are resident in Spain are entitled to obtain an SIP card which gives them access to the Spanish Health System, but it is not known whether this will continue once Britain has left the EU, and those who are over 65 but do not receive any form of pension are required to pay a significant monthly contribution to the health service. SunBay is able to offer some very attractive health coverage which not only is reasonably priced, but ensures in many cases that long waits to see specialists are a thing of the past. Although this article has concentrated on two specific types of insurance, SunBay has a very healthy home and car insurance business,
INSURANCE: Expect the unexpected. and with vet’s bills always getting larger, nowadays pet insurance is another very useful option for those with potentially vulnerable animals. SunBay’s insurers have been keeping promises to their customers since 1942 and all are fully Spanish registered with a 24-hour English assistance line, because
they know how difficult it is for foreign customers to get instant help when needed if they have to do it in Spanish. For more information or for a simple, free, non-obligation quote, call Monica at SunBay on 965 063 483 or pop into the office in Aguas Nuevas Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Me against the system Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man MRS S needed a new laptop so she went to PC World whilst in the UK. The assistant told her the price and five minutes later she was back in the car and on her way. And if you believe that then elephants can fly. Because the truth is it was an absolute nightmare. Have any of you tried to replace a laptop recently? The actual conversation was more like ‘I’d like a new laptop please.’ He says, ‘What type? There’s chrome books, a traditional laptop, Subnotebook, Netbook, Convertible, hybrid, 2-in-1, desktop replacement, rugged laptop, business laptop, MacBooks, solid state, dual or quad core. Then he wants to know if she wants touch screen. Why would we want touch screen? It’s just going to get filthy dirty with fingerprints. They had the chat about the difference between solid state and dual or quad core and basically it all boils down to how fast it starts up, but it’s a little more complicated than that. More cores are faster only if a program can split its tasks between the cores. A
newer dual core CPU with a higher clock speed will often outperform an older quad core CPU with a lower clock speed. Got that? Cos I certainly haven’t a clue! Then there’s solid state, which is not like having a normal hard disk, where you store all your stuff. With this you have to store everything on ‘a cloud’ of your choice. By now I am on the ‘phone trying to tell the assistant that she’s not going to be gaming or downloading loads of movies or designing a new shopping centre. All she really wants is a glorified typewriter with a screen and I guess that’s what most older people want. Why does everything have to be so confusing? We finally came up with a laptop that suits her purpose perfectly. But I’m sure it could be a lot simpler. Then the next part of the sales quiz game started - do we want to buy this recommended anti-virus and, of course, you will need to buy Windows Office and do you want the extended warranty and on and on. I already have anti-virus and I use a free office suite that is fine and no I don’t want the extended warranty. Finally she gets it home and the next battle starts. Microsoft wants you to log in with your account which I don’t want and off we go again - me against the system!

The best way to live in Spain AS you enter the Forum Mare Nostrum, amongst the laughter and chatter, you will detect a few languages being spoken. Mostly English, but there are several others. “That’s not a surprise really,” smiles Jennifer Benson, who looks after commercial operations at this over-65’s development “Nearly 40 per cent of our residents are from the UK, but we have many Dutch and Scandinavians too, though English is our shared language,” she explained “Our Lifetime Rental concept offers high-quality, independent living with everything you need in life, close at hand should you require it and we genuinely believe for the over-65’s we offer the best way of life in Spain,” she continued. Mare Nostrum development boasts a slightly elevated position, a few hundred metres from Alfaz del Pi’s bustling centre. I am here to meet the charming company director Emma Escobar and ask a few questions. How many apartments and residents do you have here at Forum Mare Nostrum? “We have 265 totally independent one,
LUXURIOUS: A way of life at Mare Nostrum. two and three-bedroom apartments and 300 residents.” said Emma “All of the two and three-bedroomed ones all have two bathrooms. We are at 90 per cent occupancy, however, we have a number of one, two and three-bedroom apartments available at unbeatable rates, and we also allow pets. “We really want to stress that although we offer high-quality, luxury living, our
costs are very affordable and we have something for every budget. “We feel it is important to remember the apartments we offer are for long-term living and creating a home, they are not tourist apartments. “All of our apartments are fully secure and have alarms, smoke alarms and emer-
gency call buttons linked to our 24-hour reception desk and a night security patrol. “What’s more we have an Englishspeaking doctor on call for peace of mind on health issues,” said Emma. What about activities for residents? “Gym, studio, indoor and outdoor pools, minigolf, classes in yoga, meditation and aquafit, a library and a concert hall, where we hold regular music events which are open to the general public,” said Jennifer. “Regular events such as International Day,” she said, “There’s so much happening, no one ever gets bored.” Anyone interested in finding out a little more on Forum Mare Nostrum should visit their website h t t p : / / w w w. m a re n o s trum-alfaz.com or you can contact Jennifer on 966 878 400 before 2.00pm, or email on comercial@marenos trumalfaz.com for an appointment. You may discover it to be the best move of your life.

I WAS disgusted but not surprised to read about the group of 26 people who were arrested for allegedly scamming tourists on Palma beach. Wherever high levels of holidaymakers concentrate there always seem to be people who seek to take advantage of those letting their guard down while away from home. However, while I sympathise with those who have lost their money on these ‘games,’ I was a little shocked that adult tourists had been taken in by the group. It seems to prove the old adage true, ‘if it seems too good to be true, it is.’ Mr John Hedron
French air strikes HI Leapy, I have to compliment you on very detailed articles in the Euro Weekly News , we look forward to continue reading them online here in Ireland. Sometime, if you think it’s worth mentioning, you might mention the fallout of the effects of the continuing French air traffic controllers strike. On May 8, we were affected by this action for the second time, the large expense of rehiring a car, and for some, hotel fees etc. There was little mention of this in the news anywhere. Surely, as this ongoing dispute affects many countries in Europe, it should be an issue for the European Parliament to get involved, in the form of mediation, and indeed put pressure on both sides, to reach a settlement. I am going to write to the MEPs going up for election to see what they have to say about this issue. Keep up the great articles, and looking forward to reading them online. Danny Murphy
Points raised RE: An arrogant affront (Issue 1765). Might I say I have enjoyed reading your articles since I came to Spain and always seem to agree with what your views are. However this I feel has moved me to put something in writing. Both points mentioned are a disgrace. I cannot believe these things are happening and no one in England stands up and speaks. The Sri Lankan atrocity was far more devastating than New Zealand and as you say hardly mentioned. I’m sure if you were Prime Minster things would get sorted, but the downside is you would have to go back to the UK, something I certainly don’t want to do. Keep up the good work!! Lorraine Pilling
SWALLOWS: Are the birds at risk?
YOUR article on migratory birds (Issue 1766), did not mention the millions caught by nets across Egypt, and
other north African countries, eaten as delicacies. No swallows have returned to Coin, for several years, be-

cause of this. Eventually, they could become extinct, as they come north to breed. Edward Naughton

OUR VIEW More action needed THE news that Spanish emissions fell by a higher rate than the EU average last year is welcome, but action on climate change must be stepped up to avoid catastrophe. Emissions in Spain fell by 3.2 per cent last year, according to the Eurostat data agency. The EU average was 2.5 per cent, with both figures well below that of Portugal’s which dropped by 9 per cent. Climate change is the single-biggest existential threat to the survival of our species and to the natural world we depend on. The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned we have 11 years to drastically change climate policies to prevent irreversible damage. As leading naturalist David Attenborough said in a recent documentary, a failure to do so would mean the end of civilisation as we know it. Here in Spain we are likely to see more heat waves, droughts and desertification of once-arable farmland. Flash floods like the ones which struck Mallorca and the Costa Blanca this year and Malaga Province last year will also increase, and several of Spain’s native animals will disappear. The current left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) government has promised a raft of measures to wean Spain off fossil fuels and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, also the EU’s target. But progress must be accelerated and the fossil fuel industry should shoulder a heavy burden of the effort given it brought us to the brink of a climate cataclysm.

Spain’s longest urban slide, opened in Costa del Sol, causes controversy due to ‘safety’ reasons And today (Saturday) it has been closed for safety reasons. Who thought a 30º slope was a good idea? PM Totally agree! I thought no way that could be a children’s slide. Caroline
COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE AIRPORT DELAYS: France air strikes affect passengers in Spain The French do like to strike and if it affects any other countries so much the better. Wonder what would have happened if Macron’s European pal Merkel’s country had been seriously affected? Ian
Spain says Gibraltar is under ‘illegal occupation’ by the British If the Spanish are so unconcerned by history and interna-
tional Treaties, ask them about Ceuta and Melilla and Perejil. PM
Dramatic rescue: Five girls found after going missing in southern Spain The Guardia Civil mountain rescue team are brilliant. I took a wrong turning on top of Mt Maroma a couple of weeks ago and ran out of food and energy and ended up trying to sleep through the night under bits of grass half way up the mountain. Yet Mountain Rescue found me and helped me back down at 3.30 in the morning. I felt like an idiot as I am an experienced walker, but it was a lesson for me and the rescue guys were superb, hats off to them. Angus

Neater Heater want ‘squirrels’ as customers RICHARD and Tony from Neater Heater are urging all our readers to start preparing for next winter now. “We really want people to imitate squirrels,” said Tony. “As we know; all the other woodland creatures just laze about in the summer, relaxing. So when the winter comes they have to furiously compete with each other for the scraps left over or hide away and hibernate, waiting for next summer. But not the squirrels! “Squirrels plan for the winter by hoarding nuts, berries and seeds in the summer, so when winter comes they are well prepared for it, and are able to enjoy themselves on those nice
bright winter days when the sun does come out. They are obviously the wisest creatures in the wood. And that is what we want our customers to be.” “What Tony is trying to say,” interjected Richard, “is that when winter finally arrives in Spain, northern Europe has been cold for months. This means that Chilly Czechs, Frozen Fins and Shivering Swedes have been stripping the shelves for months. “Every year we have panicking customers calling us in December, desperate to have heaters supplied and fitted by Christmas. Frequently these customers have to compromise

YOUR STARS
DID YOU KNOW?
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Your emotions, extra expenses and other domestic pressures are on the boil. Put off major decisions until next week. Meanwhile, loosen up, walk into some creative space, and if necessary, talk to someone who understands your ups and downs. There are good things waiting to happen, so refuse to lose your nerve.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) It’s both a vertical and horizontal week. What goes right somewhere could easily go wrong elsewhere. Sensitive Venus conspires with touchy Mars to trigger tensions and troubles. If you're aware of where others are coming from, you'll be fine. You’ll have fun, but don't let your spending splurges rule your head on Wednesday or Saturday.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Your efforts to get your message across might be best delayed for seven days. Fickle Venus and flighty Mercury will cross swords with other planets, so keep your ideas and emotions grounded. Take nothing for granted on Tuesday, and don't agree to anything without the facts.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Don’t jump from one financial frying pan into another. Take it easy on all fronts, especially where your money, emotions and other people's moods are at odds with your ideas. There will be more than one good reason to compromise a little.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) You will see the advantage of working towards a new location, or even a specific makeover for your domestic scene. Either way, wait for a further green light, especially where money’s concerned. Monday and Thursday are delicate days, so play it cool.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Refuse to be miffed by whatever disagreements or difficulties clutter your world. The sooner you get on with things, the better for your peace of mind. Even this week's affrays and dismays are simply passing clouds. Put yourself first, and things will start to change. There’s no telling what might occur, especially if you explore new options.
WHILE modern beds are made with springs for comfort, ancient Romans used to fill theirs with pea pods, and even covered them with velvet or silk for the very wealthy. Even more luxuriously, Pharoah Tutankahmun’s bed was made entirely of gold and ebony, while his subjects slept on palm branches.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Move forward on this week’s positive waves of optimism. Treat yourself, but don’t over-indulge your temptations. The planets aren’t dancing to all your wants and desires. If certain situations or individuals seem complicated, wait until the dust settles, then follow your hunches.
PURE LUXURY: Pharoah Tutankahmun slept on a bed of gold.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) There's a saying that if it doesn’t rain, it pours, so keep an umbrella of humour to hand. April is around the corner, and with it, a much happier trend for your workaday, social and financial prospects. Strive through this showery emotional week, and the sunshine will surely follow. Meanwhile, focus on the now.
LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY Saturday May 11
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Scanning the rest of the starsigns, you’ll see that you have many things in common this week: challenging influences at work and play, and during other clogging capers. Unexpected events, finances, or the usual everyday frustrations could pile on the pressure.

It’ll pay you to chill on Tuesday, be patient on Wednesday, and put your potent insights into orbit throughout the weekend. Although certain set arrangements are liable to veer off track, some discussions and shared commitments are slowly but firmly improving.

Rely on your sixth sense, especially where close-to-you matters are concerned. Give more thought to what you hope to have achieved in 12 months from now.

You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you’d experience. You have rejection and you have to learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.” Taylor Swift

‘
We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good... Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.” Pope Francis

BASED on a true story, Colette, played by Keira Knightley, portrays the life of one feminist icon. After Sidone-Gabriella Colette marries a charismatic charmer named Willy, he introduces her to the exciting new world of the Parisian literary scene. As she begins to find her creative inspiration, Colette starts writing novels, which Willy persuades her to put in his name. The success of the books sees Willy become famous, creating a new life for the pair they could not have imagined. Resentment soon sets in, however, and Colette begins to become aware of the lack of recognition of her work. As the pair’s marriage starts to crumble under the strain of their secret, Willy’s infidelities, and Colette’s growing feelings towards other women, things become desperate and they must each find their own paths.

Keep your cool
THE weather has taken a turn for the hotter and this means many of us are beginning to put on the air conditioning and get out the umbrellas in a bid to stay cool. While this time of year makes for plenty of great outdoor activities, it is also important to protect ourselves from becoming too hot. Luckily, the Euro Weekly
News has put together some tips on beating the heat. Aside from the normal advice to drink plenty of water, avoid excessive alcohol and midday sun, there are several little tricks which can help keep you cool. If you are going out for a long walk or to the beach, freeze small water bottles and keep them in a bag. Not only
will you have plenty of cool water later, the bottle can be used to hold against pulse points on your wrist and neck for a quick cool-down. The same goes for holding wrists under a stream of cold water for several seconds, which can help to lower body temperature slightly. Just as we are told to take a break from driving every couple of hours, even if we do not feel tired, the same is true while sitting out in the sun. Make a point to come in from the heat every half an hour or so, as it is much easier to spot signs of over-heating, such as light-headedness, while up and about. If you are walking out and about, try to stick to the shade and wear a hat to protect your head from direct sunlight. Even indoors, try to stick to the lower floors of the house while the weather is the hottest, and close curtains in rooms which do not need too much light, as this will help to reduce heat from building up. If you are lucky enough to have air conditioning, try using it alongside a ceiling or standing fan. While this may seem redundant, the two actually become more efficient when used together. Finally, if you do think you may have overdone it in the heat, lie down with your legs elevated to get blood moving towards the heart. Apply damp towels to the body to reduce your core temperature and, if in doubt, seek medical advice.
STAY COOL: Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat.

Tools of the trade WE have all been told that healthy skin begins with cleansing, toning, and moisturising. However, a new generation of beauty tools means there may be new ways to fight back time and achieve glowing skin. One such tool is the cleansing brush; usually a small, softbristled electrical brush designed to be used alongside your cleanser to improve its cleaning powers and boost blood circulation. Foreo’s Luna Play Plus (€49, www.elcorteingles.es) uses sonic technology to deep cleanse, and is completely waterproof. After cleansing, enhance the experience of using a serum or moisturiser by adding a facial roller to your routine. Made from quartz or jade, these cooling stone rollers help massage products in at the same time as aiding the drainage of fluids from the face, resulting in a de-puffing action. Try using a roller such as White Lotus’s A Grade Jade Facial Roller (currently starting at £14.99/€17.40) starting at the middle of the face and working outwards. Most rollers also come with a smaller head for the eye area, good for soothing tired peepers after a long day. Finally, for the body, a firm brush used in long, upward strokes starting at the feet and working towards the heart has been shown to improve the appearance of cellulite and with skin tone. Experts believe this may be because the motion helps to temporarily alter the appearance of fat cells as well as combatting fluid retention. Try Mama Mio’s The Mio Body Brush (€17, www.lookfantastic.es), which combines rubber nodules with natural boar bristles to get to work on tricky spots.

Get a fresh start – reset your brain READING THE SPAGHETTI: Giving yourself a fresh start.
Joris Plu WITHIN our head is our unique brain , a n d wh a t a w o n d e rfu l piece of work. Ever felt that your head was completely full? And I mean not just full but with that weird feeling of it being filled with cooked spaghetti? Lots and lots of it - so much of it that you cannot see things clear anymore. You feel like you are almost not able to make those decisions that are the right ones for you. Feeling blocked and blind. Well, no worries. This happens to everyone on this p l a n e t . Ho p e y o u fee l o k now? And most of the time we can easily read what the spaghetti is trying to say to us. So we can follow the path we want or we need to follow in our special life. Most of the time it all w o r k s o u t we l l . B u t s o me-
Antibacterial soaps no better than normal soaps ANTIBACTERIAL soaps are no more effective than plain soap at killing bacteria. A study by Korean scientists said there was “no significant difference” between the effects of plain soap and its antibacterial counterparts under normal ‘real-life’ conditions. They examined the effect of triclosan, the active antiseptic ingredient commonly used and tested on 20 strains on how well it killed bacteria. They found triclosan had killed significantly more bacteria after nine hours or more, but not during the short time required for hand washing.
cle to help you read what it says. If you are in this stage of your life, your body, soul and mind need a fresh start. So give it to yourself. Give yourself that new fresh start where you will find out who you are at that particular moment in time and what you really want to do in your life. Take a look into a mirror and say to yourself: “Yes, I will give myself a fresh new start right now” … and give your sel f a bi g posi t i ve sm i l e. Take good care!
times the head is so full that we are unable to see and feel. The solution in those times is to rethink who we are and what we really want in our life. To reset our brain. Easy, no? So if you are now lo o k in g fo r th e re s e t button somewhere on your head or are
waiting for me to tell you where you can find it, I have to disappoint you. There is no button on the outside of your head. Though it would be fantastic, the button is actually inside your head. Hence the precious word ‘rethink’. You have to take a step back or stand still for a moment,
go to a peaceful and quiet place. Take the spaghetti out of your head, put it in front of you and try to read what it says. Believe in the fact that you are able to read it. And if it is a hard time for you to do s o at t hat m om ent , f i nd someone outside your inner cir-

Keep it simple Kate Broadhead Health and Lifestyle coach ONE of the most common reasons for failure when changing the way you eat, is over thinking and over complicating the process. C ha nging your die t s hould be s tra ightforw a rd a nd not fe e l like ‘work.’ Otherwise you will tire of it and end up back at square one again. The easiest way to get involved in c a rb c yc ling is to unde rs ta nd the food groups. An understanding of what you can eat and what you need to avoid, is all that is really required. As my 72-year-old dad embarked on this way of eating, he didn’t want complicated menus or strict instructions of what to eat, and certainly wouldn’t entertain tracking his meals in an app on his phone! So I kept it simple. Two lists. One list of foods to eat for five days a week, and another list of what to eat
CHANGING DIET: Understand what you can eat and what to avoid. on two days a week. That’s all. By following a very basic format of carb cycling, it has been enough for him mentally to understand the process and as a result has shed 25lb (11kg). Some people do prefer to track every meal and plan every day to the very last mouthful. Which is fine, and everybody digests information differently and needs a different level of control
over how they manage it. Keep it simple and the results will speak for themselves. Visit Kate’s successful Facebook group on www.facebook.com/groups/carb cyclingforbeginners or follow on Instagram @carbcyclingqueen For personal coaching please email her on ccforbeginners@hotmail.com.

Bronzed beauty LOVE ISLAND’S Zara McDermott was enjoying the Spanish sun as she posed on a boat in Ibiza in a series of sizzling snaps posted to Instagram earlier this month. The reality star showed off her bronzed figure in a high-cut fucsia bikini and matching captain’s hat as she sat back with her feet perched on the steering wheel. The 22-year-old star was also a bronzed beauty as she flaunted her curves in a plunging green dress for a bar launch in London recently. Government adviser Zara last week denied that she is dating pop singer Olly Murs, after splitting with Islander Adam Collard earlier this year. She appeared on the 2018 season of Love Island, which was filmed in a villa in Mallorca.

Boyband bromance IRISH boyband superstars Ronan Keating and Brian McFadden rekindled their bromance by meeting up for the first time in years in Marbella. The Irish pals - who shot to fame in rival 90’s bands Boyzone and Westlife, looked delighted as they met up for drinks. The pair were in Marbella for a charity golfing event to raise funds for cancer and children in need. Keating and McFadden partied together at the celebity steak restaurant Oak Garden and Grill in Puerto Banus, which has become a the place to be for the stars. The handsome pair couldn’t stop laughing as they partied and joked: “Our bromance is on again!” Ronan Keating’s wife Storm shared a cute family snap on Instagram alongside the Westlife pal as they soaked up the Spanish sun. Brian left Westlife in 2004 and has since appeared in various TV shows, including Dancing on Ice earlier this year.

A highly rated indian restaurant SITUATED in the Ciudad Quesada suburb of Rosales, the Indian Ocean restaurant has been serving exceptional Indian food for more than a decade. This is confirmed by the fantastic reviews that this restaurant has achieved, time and time again. With glamorous high ceilings and chandeliers as well as an upstairs space, which is perfect for private parties, the restaurant also has an outdoor terrace for al fresco dining. The Indian Ocean is a great place to enjoy an intimate meal for two or to enjoy a large gathering with friends and family. Whilst the restaurant itself is a lovely environment to dine in, food is of course behind its success with owner Mohsin Reza priding himself on the quality and freshness of the Bangladeshi food:
“Ninety-five per cent of restaurants in the UK are actually Bangladeshi rather than Indian and it is a slightly different type of cuisine, so we offer the much-loved tastes that people are so fond of in the UK.” They have begun to introduce a few new ingredients and make subtle little

Ease the strain tion and take care of the mounds of paperwork involved in any deal. This is why choosing the right agent is key to easing what can be a very stressful time.
16 - 22 May 2019
The right agent will be someone you can trust, connect with, and who understands your needs. Don’t be afraid to consult with several agents until you have
found the right one. An agent acting on your behalf needs to have your co-operation in order to do their job properly. If you are a prospective buyer, be considerate by being on time for your appointments. Have a clear idea of what your
criteria is, so you do not send your agent on a wild goose chase. When trying to sell your home, keep track of when your viewings are. Leave the house if you can, so clients can talk freely. And of course, make sure your home is clean and tidy.
Make an inventory EXPERIENCED landlords have learned how important it is to take an inventory before a new tenant moves in. And it is just as important to do the same if you are the one renting the property. It is basically a move-in move-out checklist which details not just what is in the property, but also its condition. The document will be used to compare the state of the home once a tenant moves out to assess any damage caused during the tenancy, and help the landlord and tenant reach an agreement for any payments to be made (most likely in the form of a deduction made from a deposit before it is returned). The cost of repairing pre-existing damage, or damage which existed prior to moving in, should not be the responsibility
of the new tenant. However, damage which occurred while the tenant lived in the property may need to be covered by the tenant. The inventory ensures this process is handled smoothly and fairly. Move-in and move-out checklists are important. They protect both the landlord and the tenant by informing the landlord if anything is newly damaged and in need of repair, and preventing the tenant from having to pay for pre-existing damage. If damage to the property occurs while the lessee is living at the property, they may be responsible for covering repair costs. Once the lease has ended, the home has been carefully inspected, and the checklist has been completed, the landlord will provide the tenant with an itemised list
of deductions (if any) from their initial security deposit. Without proof of damage from a move-in move-out checklist, a tenant may be able to dispute the deductions. For the tenant’s part it also means landlords cannot make unreasonable demands. A good idea for both landlord and tenant is to take before and after photos as proof to determine whether or not something was damaged during the rental period. Tenants should read over their contract carefully to find details on who pays for what when something breaks or becomes damaged. Keep in mind that though a property should be returned to the landlord in the condition it was in when the renter moved in, the tenant is not typically responsible for ‘general wear and tear.’

OUTDOOR LIVING: Make Oceans your first choice.
Oceans Outdoor Furniture OCEANS OUTDOOR FURNITURE now have three stores within the Costa Calida region, currently located in Cartagena, San Javier and Torrevieja, with the opening of the fourth store in Denia on May 27. All of the above stores have been opened within the past four years and are part of a much wider expansion programme. This programme of expansion has recently been accelerated with an investment of â‚Ź250,000 to open five more stores within the next 18 months. These are
planned to be within the Costa Calida region and will all have the full Oceans range in them. In addition to the store opening programme, Oceans - who already develop all of their own products - are currently working on some great new designs for 2020 and 2021. Here in the sun-drenched Costa Calida, outdoor living is such a big part of enjoying your time here that we invest considerably in not only bringing you a quality long-lasting product, but one which is also comfortable, affordable and
designed to be styled to suit your property. Trends and styles change from season to season and that is why we are always designing new products and new styles of furniture. The products we are currently designing are quite radically different from current styles, but are what we expect to be the trend in years to come. Rattan furniture has been at the forefront of what we sell and have sold for many years and whilst we believe this market will continue, it will become less of the mainstream product
which we sell. So whether you are looking for rattan furniture, aluminium furniture, barbecues or occasional items for your terrace or garden, then Oceans is surely the first choice. Call in and see one of our fully-trained, helpful staff who will be more than welcoming and can help you choose the perfect items for your property here in Spain.

RE-PLATE MATE Miles Better
IT was a scene to make any lover of beautiful cars weep - the shot in iconic movie The Italian Job where a Lamborghini Miura P400 is destroyed in an onscreen incident. But all was not as it seemed as clever cinematography actually meant the on-screen car ‘destroyed’ was actually a car that had already been crashed. Now 50 years on from the release of the film Lamborghini Polo Storico has certified the Miura P400, chassis #3586, as the original uncrashed car used in the Paramount Pictures film (1969). The orange Miura P400 with white/black leather interior has been the most pursued Miura in recent decades: it appears in the film driven by the actor Rossano Brazzi on the Great St Bernard Pass. In the movie plot the car is destroyed, but nobody would have really ruined what was the most desired car of the moment. In reality, Paramount also depicted an identical, crashed Miu-
ra. Just a few years after the film’s release, once it had been established that the car used in filming was not the one destroyed in the on-screen accident, a hunt began to find the opening-scene Miura. Over the following five decades, enthusiasts and collectors from around the world searched and amassed numerous and sometimes conflicting clues. The current owner of this historic model, The Kaiser Collection of Vaduz (Liechtenstein), decided to consult Lamborghini Polo Storico in an attempt to give, once and for all, a chassis number to the Miura driven by Brazzi. The car was sent to Lamborghini’s specialist historic department at its Sant’ Agata Bolognese headquarters, where Polo Storico’s reconstruction started from documentation in the company archives and from examining the car. The results were then supplemented with testimonies from enthusiasts and
former employees, such as Enzo Moruzzi, who delivered the car to the set and drove it in all the shots as a stunt double. By doing this, Polo Storico was able to find the missing evidence and certify that the Miura P400, chassis #3586, was exactly the one used to shoot The Italian Job. This recognition comes at the same time as the 50th anniversary celebrations of the film, released in June 1969. The film production company, Paramount Pictures, approached Automobili Lamborghini for a car to use for the filming. Once they got to San-
t’Agata Bolognese they decided on an orange-coloured Miura, which was already heavily damaged and therefore perfect for the accident scene. At the same time, Lamborghini provided a second car of the same colour for the shoot. It was Enzo Moruzzi who took the car to the set; in those days, he often delivered cars to the most important clients or onto film sets. Moruzzi recalls: “There was a Miura P400 almost ready on the production line, in the right colour, left-hand drive and with white leather interior. It was aesthetically identical to the dam-
aged one and we decided to use it for the film.” The only thing worrying us was the elegant white leather seats, given that car had to get back to Sant’Agata in perfect condition. So, I asked for them to be taken out, replacing them with a set of black leather seats that we used for testing. The giveaway was the headrests, which on the Miura are attached to the dividing glass between the driver compartment and the engine compartment, which couldn’t be replaced in time. In the film, you can see the original white headrests.”

Supercop on the road
SUPERCARS are not exactly rare on the streets of oil rich Abu Dhabi. Some of the world’s most powerful and fastest cars cruise the roads of the capital of the UAE, but this gives the local traffic police a bit of a problem. If someone really wants to put their foot down in a McLaren, Ferrari or Lamborghini, how on earth are you going to catch them? Well they have decided that if you want
to catch a supercar you must use - a supercar. So the latest addition to the Abu Dhabi police fleet is a 750bhp £2 million Lykan Hypersport. Best known for its role in Fast and Furious 7 (when it flew!) just seven of the super-luxury cars have ever been built. With a 3.7-litre twin turbo flat six engine it is capable of 242mph, with a 062mph time of 2.8 seconds, so fast enough

See Spain from a motorhome A FANTASTIC way to see Spain is by motorhome. In these large vehicles, your comfortable home is literally with you, with all modern conveniences and little or no set-up time, when you reach your overnight destinations. In most cases, it is park up, turn on the gas and put the kettle on. Imagine though, waking up and opening your curtains to a wonderful mountain landscape, with the sun just popping up from behind a mountain. The great thing about these vehicles is that the range of places you are allowed to park at overnight is immense, from forests to areas with mountain views, to wonderful deserted beaches. The Spanish are quite liberal about where you can park overnight, but beware; some restrictions do apply in certain areas and it is always wise to check; of course there are a large number of camping sites throughout Spain. Yakart Autocaravanas specialise in all things motorhome. They sell them, rent them, service them, repair them, store them and stock spare parts for them. They have three locations in Spain, one in Asturias, one in Ponferrada (Leon) and the final one in San Vicente del Raspeig, close to Alicante.
CONCORDE CHARISMA 920G: Even comes with its own Smart car. With over 13 years of experience, this company really are the motorhome experts. One of the concepts which could provide you with a fantastic holiday, is to rent a motorhome. The range of motorhomes which Yakart rent out varies from two to seven-berth. Prices start from €80 a day, all are very well equipped (they carry multimedia with navigation and reversing cameras), an awning, table and chairs, 220v power converter, solar panel, TV with antenna and kitchenware. All of the rental vehicles are under a year-and -a-half old, and it must be emphasised they are
German-made, high-end vehicles. Their top-end motorhome is Concorde Charisma 920G. A fantastic motorhome, with amazing specifications, finish and accessories. This vehicle even comes with a dishwasher and for those times when you want to nip out to go to a restaurant or do some shopping, it has a Smart car, which you park inside the boot! This vehicle costs €350,000 new, but is available for rent for €4,000 to €5,000 per week depending on the season. Please note you will need category C1 on your licence (if you passed your full British test
prior to 1997, this category will be on there). Yakart also are official agents for 12 makes of motorhome, including the top-end German make, Concorde. They are open daily from 9.30am to 2.00pm and from 4.00pm to 8.00pm.

Honda’s electric pledge HONDA has confirmed it will produce its first fully electric urban vehicle - the rather unimaginative sounding ‘Honda e.’ And it has also said that the next-generation Jazz will be available with a hybrid powertrain featuring the brand’s Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) technology. The manufacturer says that this is part of its ‘Electric Vision’ to make 100 per cent of the brand’s European sales feature electrified powertrains by 2025. The Honda e, which was recently presented as a production prototype in Geneva, is Honda’s first model to benefit from a dedicated EV platform rather than be converted from a traditionally-powered design. This means it is optimised for electric power through its design and technology with no compromises. The compact electric car offers sporty rearwheel drive format and advanced electric powertrain. The Honda e has already received over
22,000 expressions of interest across Europe, and customers can visit their national Honda website for more information. The i-MMD hybrid system that will be available with the next generation of the popular Jazz hatchback has already won widespread acclaim across Europe for delivering high-levels of real-world efficiency and refinement in the new CR-V Hybrid. Ahead of its 2025 electrification goal, Honda will expand the application of its i-MMD dualmotor hybrid system, with the introduction into smaller segment cars an important first step. The next-generation Jazz will make its international premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show later this year.

SPORT By Dilip Kuner WHILE FC Barcelona have long since been crowned champions of La Liga, there is still lots to play for in the final round of matches. The questions of who will qualify for next season’s Champions and Europa Leagues is still to be decided while the last relegation spot will probably be taken by Girona, unless there is an improbable combination of results. At the weekend fourth placed Getafe had to travel to Barcelona, where they suffered a 2-0 reverse. The home team were booed onto the pitch in response to their 4-0 loss to Liverpool last week, which denied them a Champions League final spot. Leonel Messi made the pass for Arturo Vidal’s opening goal with an 89th minute own goal from Mauro Arambarri completing the scoring. The result opened the way for Valencia to move into the final Champions League place, which they duly did with a 3-1 win at home to Alaves. If they win away to Valladolid at the weekend they will claim the coveted spot. Alaves gave Valencia a scare when they rook a 12th minute lead through Ximo Navarro, but goals from Carles Soler, Santi Mina and

OPENER: Arturo Vidal scored the first as Getafe went down to Barcelona. Kevin Gameiro ultimately made it a comfortable victory. Sevilla really needed a win to keep in contention for the CL. Pablo Sarabia’s 70th minute goal gave them a decent enough 1-1
draw away to second placed Atletico Madrid, so they retain an outside chance of finishing fourth, but they will need to hope both Getafe and Valencia lose at the weekend. Athletic Club Bilbao remain
seventh and will qualify for next season’s Europa League if they avoid defeat against Sevilla. Raul Garcia scored two and Inaki Williams scored in the first half as Athletic enjoyed a 3-1 win over
Celta. Espanyol beat Leganes 2-0 away with goals from Borja Iglesias and they too have the chance of seventh and a Europa League spot if they can beat Real Sociedad and Athletic lose. That won’t be easy though as Real Sociedad themselves have the chance for seventh if they bear Espanyol following their 3-1 home win over the not so mighty Real Madrid. Brahim Diaz scored his first goal for Real Madrid in just the sixth minute, but it turmed into another poor performance from the Madrid club. Mikel Merino equalised 20 minutes later, then Jesus Vallejo was sent off in the 39th minute to leave Real Madrid with 10 men. Igor Zubeldia headed Real Sociedad ahead in the 57th minute and 17-year-old Ander Barrenetxea wrapped it up with the third goal. Girona’s 2-1 loss to Levante has left them clinging on to survival by their fingertips. They must now win away to Alaves by at least five goals and hope Celta lose at home to Rayo Vallecano.
AT the end of qualifying Lewis Hamilton must have been wondering what had happened. His hungry young teammate Valtteri Botas - winner in Azerbaijan - had comprehensively outperformed him to take the Barcelona F1 pole position. And it wasn’t as if he had just been pipped either. Bottas had put in a superb performance to be more than half a sercond faster than the reigning champion, an absolute chasm in F1. But when the chips are down Hamilton knows how to perform.

Mercedes’ dominance were proven to be rather forlorn. An engine and aerodynamics upgrade did not do the hoped-for trick, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen making their day even worse when he held on to third place. The Ferrari pair of Sebastian
Vettel and Charles Leclerc were fourth and fifth, Verstappen maintaining his record of having finished ahead of at least one Ferrari at every race this season. Pierre Gasly was sixth in the second Red Bull, with Kevin Magnussen eventually claiming a fine seventh place and his first points since Australia. Haas teammate Romain Grosjean claimed his first point of the year by finishing 10th af-
ter being passed by the McLaren of Carlos Sainz (eighth) - who maintained his record of scoring at every Spanish Grand Prix of his career and the Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat, who finished ninth. Next up is Monaco in two weeks’ time where overtaking is even harder than it is in Barcelona. Bottas will be hoping to claim his fourth pole in a row, and to keep his lead beyond the first corner!
