Election outcome PP and PSOE make gains

By Joe Gerrard POLITICIANS across the Costa del Sol and Malaga Province have begun mulling their options for power deals in town and city hall following local elections held on Sunday (May 26).

Some politicians including Marbella mayor Angeles Muñoz and Fuengirola mayor Ana Mula, both of the conservative Partido Popular (PP), can take power immediately after winning enough seats to govern alone.

Others, including Benalmadena mayor Victor Navas, of the left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE), will have to strike deals with other parties after falling short of a majority.

Overall results show little change in the province where the PP has traditionally per-

The results will be a relief for the PP which saw about half of its seats in the Con-

gress of Deputies wiped out following last month’s snap general election.

They are disappointing for Ciudadanos which hoped to build on gains made in the April election, though they could enter government as part of a coalition in several town halls.

The the leftist Podemos and its affiliate parties suffered in places, though there was a strong overall showing for the left if PSOE is counted.

Attention now turns to coalition talks to secure majorities in councils where winning parties were left with no overall control.

Ciudadanos has offered to prop up the PP administration of Malaga City mayor Francisco de la Torre.

PSOE’s Victor Navas, mayor of Benalmadena is likely to stay on with the help of the IU after falling two seats shy of a majority.

Torremolinos mayor Jose Ortiz has asked Ciudadanos to support his bid to stay on.

Mijas hangs in the balance with Ciudadanos, which previously ran the town hall, likely to be the kingmakers.

Health & Beauty VOLCANIC: The Canary Islands’ Tenerife is home to Mount Teide.

85-88

Islands day THIS picture of one of the Canary Islands’ best-known volcanoes comes as the Spanish archipelago celebrates its regional holiday today (Thursday), May 30.

Tenerife’s Mount Teide is almost 3,720 metres high when measured from sea level. If measured from the ocean floor it is about 7,500 metres tall, making it the highest volcano in the world from base to peak outside of Hawaii.

Teide National Park which surrounds the volcano was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

The islands take their name from the Latin Canariae Insulae, which means Islands of the Dogs. The Canary Islands’ flag bears two dogs on its crest.

The Canary Islands is made up of Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. There are also six smaller islands including La Graciosa which is home to 658 people.

The islands’ geography is diverse but is famously volcanic.

The archipelago was settled by Berbers from North Africa who became known as Guanches. Spain be-

Cash crops including sugar cane and tobacco were introduced to the islands, boosting their wealth.

The Canary Islands were granted their Statute of Autonomy in 1982.

The archipelago is the only one of Spain’s autonomous communities to have two capitals, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Brit found dead THE body of an 83-year-old British man has been found four days after he disappeared from his home in Mijas.

Guardia Civil and Police officers launched the search for Glyn Jones after he went missing from his Mijas Pueblo home on Sunday May 19.

He was last seen wearing a Barcelona FC tracksuit.

Police sources have since said his body was found by a roadside between Mijas and Fuengirola.

The 83-year-old had dementia and is thought to have become lost or confused while walking from his home. He had lived in Mijas with his wife Barbara for about 15 years.

An appeal issued after the 83-year-old disappeared said he was a ‘very kind and funny man’ and that his family were at their wits end with worry.

An investigation has been launched into Jones’ death but police sources said they were not treating it as suspicious.

Teen held OFFICERS with the National Police have arrested a 15year-old boy in Marbella in connection with the stabbing of his classmate at a local school.

Police were warned the pupil was armed at about 1pm on Thursday (May 23).

The alleged victim was taken to hospital with back wounds which needed stitches.

Quake strikes LOCALS in Antequera were among others in several Malaga Province towns who reported feeling tremors from a 3.5 magnitude earthquake which struck the area on Monday (May 27).

Spain’s National Geographic Institute (IGN) said tremors were registered at around 9pm and continued until about 2am. No damage or injuries were reported.

Lifesavers NATIONAL POLICE officers rescued a 49-year-old kite surfer who was dragged 400 metres out to sea in Estepona on Friday.

A witness called police shortly after the man became stuck in the water off Benamara beach at around 5.50pm.

Coast guards were despatched and the man was later taken to hospital with hypothermia.

COCAINE HAUL: The drugs had a street value of more than €3.4 million.

Drug boat bust GUARDIA CIVIL officers have seized 600 kilograms of cocaine worth millions from a sailing boat off the coast of Malaga Province in a joint operation with French and Estonian authorities.

Police sources said the boat, which had sailed from South America, was laden with drugs when police boarded it on Sunday, May 19.

Investigators claimed the Rio Segura vessel was bound for the Balearic Islands when it was intercepted by Guardia Civil marine officers.

They were assisted by air crews who helped them find the ship.

Police found 600 kilograms of cocaine split into several blocks hidden inside space hollowed out of the ship’s stern. The drugs had a street value of more than €3.4 million in total, according to UN estimates of Spanish cocaine prices.

Two crew members of the boat, one Spanish and the other Lithuanian, were arrested in connection with the haul. They have since been detained in Malaga City as the case continues.

‘Kidnap’ trial PROSECUTORS have called on Malaga’s Provincial Court to jail six men accused of an attempted kidnapping in Fuengirola for four years each if found guilty.

Prosecutors told the court the defendants rented a

house in Alhaurin el Grande and a van to use during the kidnapping in 2009.

The court heard they waited outside the alleged victim’s Fuengirola home but failed to kidnap him because he was abroad.

SEIMC’s data forecast a 62 per cent rise in infection rates compared to 2018 which could affect an estimated 221,958 people.

The number of deaths which multi-resistant bacteria could cause would be 22 times higher than all those killed in Spanish road accidents, according to SEIMC. It comes as concerns over bacteria being able to mutate to resist antibiotics continue around the world.

BREXIT BRIEF Election results THE dominance of Brexit in British politics has made itself felt in European elections which saw the Conservatives and Labour haemorrhage votes to pro-leave and remain parties.

Results released from Sunday night to Monday showed the pro-leave Brexit Party, led by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, took 29 seats in the European Parliament. They won 31.6 per cent of the vote.

The Liberal Democrats, who campaigned on a staunchly pro-remain platform, came second with 20.3 per cent of the vote. The party now has 16 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), up from one before the vote.

The Green Party increased its share of MEPs from three to seven, overtaking the Conservatives and pushing them into fifth place.

Brexit cost Labour 10 MEPs. The party’s total number of seats fell by half after the vote which saw them finish third.

The Conservatives, who previously had 19 seats in the parliament, were left with four MEPs after the vote. Winners of the 2014 European election UKIP lost all 24 of their MEPs. Conservative leader Theresa May and Labour head Jeremy Corbyn both blamed their parties’ poor performance on Brexit.

May said: “It shows the importance of finding a Brexit deal.”

Bowing out

By Joe Gerrard BRITAIN’S prime minister has announced she will quit as leader of the Conservatives, paving the way for her successor to resolve Brexit which remains at an impasse.

Theresa May addressed Britain from outside Downing Street on Friday. She said her failure to take Britain out of the EU was a matter of ‘deep regret’ for her.

“I will shortly leave the job it has been the honour of my life to hold,” May said.

The prime minister, who formerly stands down from the Conservative leadership on Friday June 7, said Brexit was the ‘biggest challenge’ that any British government has faced during peacetime.

She called for all sides to compromise as she prepares to pass on her office, and the Brexit mantle she has carried since 2016, to her successor.

LEAVING: May quits as Tory leader in June.

Brexit brought Theresa May to power and has now being her undoing. Her premiership, which began optimistically with a

promise to make a ‘success’ of EU withdrawal, was dogged by Britain’s looming EU exit until she announced her own exit on Friday.

The spectre of uncertainty now haunts Brexit. The issue, which has remained deadlocked in parliament throughout the year, will define the contest to succeed May. About 10 Conservatives have since entered the race, including former Foreign Secretary and archBrexiteer Boris Johnson and exBrexit Secretary Dominic Raab.

Whoever succeeds May will have to decide whether to work with Parliament as it stands, or to gamble on a general election to shore up the Conservative’s position.

They could also choose to hold a second referendum, but will have until the scheduled leave date of Thursday October 31 to decide.

Cheaper than children DOGS in Spain now outnumber children under 15. The country has 13 million registered pets and 6.2 million under-15’s, Armando Solis, president of the Spanish Pet Identification Network (REIAC), said. Ninety-three per cent of pets are dogs, 6 per cent are cats and the remainder rabbits. “People live longer and they are more alone,” explained Solis who said the number of pets would continue to increase.

Most registered pets live in cities where the number of people living alone - and not only the elderly - has also increased, he said.

Animals involve less responsibility and expense than children, but enable their owners to lavish maternal and paternal feelings on them, experts said. “It is difficult to bring up a family in cities because these are hostile to children,” said sociologist Miriam Fernandez Nevados.

EXPENSIVE PARKINGS: Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia parking costs around €1.78 for 48 minutes.

Parking charges SPAIN’S parking spaces are becoming smaller and more expensive, according to a new report.

The Organisation of Consumers and Users (OCU) investigated more than 230 car parks in 27 Spanish cities, both privately and publicly-owned, as well as those of shopping centres, airports and stations.

It found one in every three parking spaces is

now too narrow for modern car dimensions, yet ‘prices have not stopped rising at a rate which doubles that of inflation in the last decade.’ Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia top the rankings of the most expensive public car parks, with an average price of €1.78 for 48 minutes.

The cheapest is in Salamanca, 60 cents for the same amount of time.

Sex abuse parents jailed TWO parents in Valladolid have been jailed for 10 years and one day for abusing their three-month-old baby in August 2017.

Prosecutors initially requested 14 years each for crimes of sexual abuse and us-

ing the child to make pornographic material.

A medical examination of the child also showed she had suffered from cocaine poisoning.

The parents are prevented from contacting the girl for 19

years, as well as being disqualified from working with children for 15 years.

They have also lost custody of the child, will have to participate in sex education programmes and must pay the girl €20,000 in compensation.

Underworld holds the key UK detectives appealed for fresh information regarding the suspected contract killing of John ‘Goldfinger’ Palmer.

They backed the appeal with a £100,000 reward for information.

The 65-ye a r-old, onc e descr i bed as Britain’s richest criminal, earned his nickname after smelting gold from the £26 million Brinks-Mat bullion heist at Heathrow in 1983.

Palmer was shot dead in the grounds of his Essex mansion in June 2015, a month after he was charged with timeshare fraud, money-laundering and firearms offences in Spain.

At the time police attributed Palmer ’s death to natural causes and failed to notice that Palmer had been shot five times, believing that the wounds stemmed from recent gall bladder surgery.

Following the Madrid trial in which several of Palmer ’s business associates were

found guilty of selling spurious timeshares and package holidays, police hope for a change of heart and loyalties amongst career criminals.

“There is always nervousness within the underworld when a trial looms,” said Detective Superintendent Stephen Jennings who heads the investigation.

The key to solving Palmer’s murder lies within the criminal underworld, Jennings added.

Sex toy prizes at squash tournament WOMEN athletes who won the Asturias Squash tournament in Spain were left speechless when they were awarded not just a trophy but also a sex toy.

Men competing in the tournament were simply given a trophy, but women were also handed two boxes of depilatory wax, an electric file to exfoliate feet and a vibrator.

The ‘prizes’ have led to accusations of sexism, with there already being three resignations from the organising club, which may now be dissolved after the scandal. The matter is now in the hands of the Asturian

Women’s Institute, which is investigating the incident.

“I felt surprise and indignation,” said Elisabet Sadó, one of the winners of the gala held on Saturday, May 11 in Las Vegas, Corvera.

At 37 years old, after more than 15 years of professional competition, Sadó has been number one in the world and seven times Spanish champion.

Speaking to El Pais, Sadó explained that she had to put up with less promotion of her sport and fewer facilities than men for years, but had never received a gift like this for her achievements.

She added that behaviour

like this is “the basis of structural machismo which, in the most serious cases, ends up with murdered women.”

The four prize winners filed a complaint two days later with the Squash Federation of the Principality of Asturias.

They expressed their displeasure at ‘some sexist and out of place gifts.’

The tournament was organised by the Club Squash Oviedo, which admitted in a statement that the gifts ‘were inappropriate and should never have been delivered’ and apologised to the players.

Cocaine extradition request PROSECUTORS have called on a Nicaraguan woman to be deported from Spain in connection with a €720 cocaine haul found in Asturias.

Tragic death on flight TRAGEDY struck a Ryanair flight when a British woman aged 58 died of a heart attack as the plane waited to take off at Palma’s Son Sant Joan airport.

Passengers were disembarked from

Despite their efforts the life of the victim could not be saved.

‘CRISIS’: The groups have called for a climate emergency to be declared.

Climate emergency call

by Joe Gerrard

SPAIN should declare a ‘state of climate emergency’ and act immediately to combat climate change, 26 NGOs and campaign groups have said.

Ecologists in Action, Extinction Rebellion Spain and Fridays for Future were among those who made the call. It comes as the world marked Biodiversity Day on May 22.

They said Spain should follow the example of Britain’s Parliament which voted to declare a climate emergency earlier this month. Mario Rodriguez, of Greenpeace Spain, said ‘climate legislatures’ should be formed after this Sunday’s elections. “We must take courageous measures in the next four years to avoid problems in Spain,” Rodriguez said.

The groups have said they

will stage ‘quick and forceful’ protests until the Spanish government meets their demands.

Thousands of Spanish school pupils joined hundreds of thousands around the world in walking out of classes to call for action on climate change.

The Fridays for Future movement which co-ordinates the school strikes was one of the groups who made the call for a climate emergency to be declared.

‘Fake marriage’ probe NATIONAL POLICE have arrested 17 people in connection with a scheme which arranged 186 false domestic partnerships and marriages of convenience between Spanish and South American citizens in Malaga City. The people involved charged €2,000 to process the paperwork in order for South American citizens to obtain Spanish residence cards. Police have investigated who they

claim to be the administrators and the manager.

The manager, a 62-year-old Spanish man who passed himself off as a lawyer, has been arrested for alleged document forgery and crimes against Spain’s welfare system.

The group created a fictional companyto forge documents such as employment contracts, police claimed.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS

By Joe Gerrard

Depopulation impact THE number of councillors standing for election in Spain has fallen by 1,220 since 2011 due to the effects of depopulation.

Figures from the Territories Ministry showed 67,010 council seats were contested in last Sunday’s (May 26) local elections.

The number is down from 68,230 in 2011.

The drop in councillor numbers highlights the ongoing impact of depopulation on parts of Spain. The issue has not just affected the number of politicians able to stand in certain areas, it has also emerged as central to many parties’ pitch to voters.

Parties including the conservative Partido Popular (PP), the centrist Ciudadanos, the leftist Podemos and the far-right Vox have all vied for votes in ‘Empty Spain’.

Each has promised measures to tackle the effects of depopulation. The exodus of younger workers from small villages and towns has placed a strain on council finances, with fewer taxpayers able to support local infrastructure.

The number of urban areas home to less than 100 people rose by 290 from 2011 to 2019. The problems arising from this is likely to influence politics at all levels for the foreseeable future.

Poll tracker (EU elections): Partido Socialista (PSOE): 32.1 per cent, 20 seats Partido Popular (PP): 20.1 per cent, 12 seats Ciudadanos: 12.2 per cent, seven seats Unidos Podemos: 10.1 per cent, three seats Vox: 6.2 per cent, five seats

SPANISH political parties have been taking stock of their results in local, regional and EU elections held on Sunday (May 26).

A swing towards the leftleaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) in all three elections mirrors the results of April’s snap general election. But the vote continued to be fragmented between several parties, further undermining Spain’s traditionally two-party system.

Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he was proud of his party’s showing in the EU ballot. He called on other parties not to strike deals with the far-right Vox at a local and regional level.

Locally PSOE’s results were broadly positive with the party picking up seats in councils, including ones traditionally dominated by the conservative Partido Popular (PP).

But the party and others on the left were dealt a blow in the Spanish capital and elsewhere.

The left-leaning city-focused Mas Madrid, which held the

Taking stock

RESULTS: Sanchez said he was proud of his party’s performance. position of mayor with Manuela Carmena, lost one seat leaving it with 19 while the centrist Ciudadanos and farright Vox made gains.

This leaves the city open to being governed by a triple alliance of the right similar to that which took power in Andalucia following elections there in De-

cember.

Regionally PSOE was the largest party in 10 of the 12 autonomous communities which held votes on Sunday.

But the party only won an absolute majority in Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura. It will have to strike deals with others unless parties on the right can cobble together enough seats to take control of administrations.

Commentators have interpreted PSOE’s bagging of 20 seats in the European Parliament as a sign that Spain bucked the EU-wide trend towards more eurosceptic and far-right parties being elected.

Vox, previously tipped to make a big breakthrough in both Sunday’s elections and the general ballot held in April, won three seats. The PP appeared to have recovered some ground compared to the heavy blow voters dealt the party in the general elections. The PP won 12 seats in the European Parliament, five seats ahead of the centrist Ciudadanos.

Coalition talks at all levels of Spanish politics have since begun. Meetings between Sanchez and other party leads will be back on after the prime minister decided hold off from discussions until after last Sunday’s vote.

Cheaper than children

Rise in drink drive convictions THERE has been a 10 per cent rise in convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in just one year.

According to figures from Spain’s Attorney General’s Office there were 56,173 convictions for the offences in 2018, compared with 51,085 in 2017.

This was 21 per cent of all convictions for any kind of crime. Highlighting the danger of the offence is the fact that more than 40 per cent of drivers who died in traffic accidents on Spanish roads had consumed alcohol or drugs.

Pere Navarro, head of the DGT national traffic authority, is now planning to being in more

roadside checks rather than bring in harsher penalties. Speaking to Spanish newspaper El Pais he said: “It’s not clear to me that the solution lies in higher penalties.

At some point we might have to do it, but we don’t support it.”

The number of roadside checks carried out has declined markedly after deep cuts in public spending. In 2013 Guardia Civil tested 6.4 million drivers for alcohol. By 2017 this number had fallen to 5.18 million. Last year, a total of 89,264 people were convicted of all driving offences, an 8.9 per cent rise over 2017. Road fatalities in the other hand fell to 1,180 last year, compared with 1,198 in 2017.

Iraq mission SPANISH troops have begun training troops in Iraq despite other countries pulling soldiers out over security concerns.

Spain’s Defence Staff (EMAD) said the 16th Canaries Brigade had arrived in Besmayah as part of Operation Resolute Support. More than 550 Spanish troops are currently deployed there. The country has been ravaged by conflict since 2003.

PROBE: FMC was found to have bribed Spanish doctors.

Medical bribery A GERMAN dialysis company has admitted to paying millions in bribes to secure business deals with doctors in Spain and across the world.

The US’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) found corruption was visible in Fresenius Medical Care (FMC) from the early 2000s, but nothing was done to address it.

The SEC was tasked with probing the claims made about FMC. FMC said it had co-operated fully with the investigation.

The investigation found the company had bribed doctors in Spain, Turkey, China, Serbia, Bosnia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and in several West African countries.

“Employees made improper payments through a variety of schemes including through the use of false consulting contracts, the forgery of documents and channelling bribes through external intermediaries,” the SEC said.

“Senior management actively thwarted enforcement efforts. The improper conduct continued for years,” the regulator added.

The SEC’s probe found FMC paid for Spanish doctors to go to international medical conferences and on holidays, funded their projects and bought them gifts to secure deals. The company spent almost €2.7 million in Spain alone, the SEC found.

DOGS in Spain now outnumber children under 15.

The country has 13 million registered pets and 6.2 million under-15’s, Armando Solis, president of the Spanish Pet Identification Network (REIAC), said.

Ninety-three per cent of pets are dogs, 6 per cent are cats and the remainder rabbits. “People live longer and are more alone,” explained Solis who said numbers would continue to increase.

Most registered pets live in cities where the number of people living alone has also increased, he said.

Animals involve less responsibility and expense than children, but enable owners to lavish maternal and paternal feelings on them. “It is difficult to bring up a family in cities because these are hostile to children,” said sociologist Miriam Fernandez Nevados.

THE Catholic Church in Spain has announced that it contributed €1.38 billion to the Spanish economy in 2016 following a recent study undertaken by the Conferencia Episcopal Española.

With some 23,000 parishes within the country it employs large numbers of men and women (64,925) who are tax payers and also supports those in need through Caritas and other charitable operations.

THE Guardia Civil are concerned that a drone could be used in a prison escape.

The Ministry of the Interior ordered an enquiry after an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) dropped drugs and a mobile phone into Alhaurin de la Torre (Malaga) prison last September.

Some drones can carry up to 100 kilos and sources revealed that the authorities believe a prisoner could be airlifted to freedom this way, Air traffic regulations ban drones from entering protected airspace, including prisons, and Alhaurin staff told investigators that a drone flew over the complex the previous day, but they did not recall seeing it drop a package.

That day Guardia Civil officers found a crashed drone in an avocado plantation adjoining the prison although the Ministry stressed there was no evidence linking the drone to the drugs or mobile.

The Alhaurin de la Torre incident was not isolated.

Prison staff reported in January 2017 that a drone had flown over Teixiero (La Coruña) prison without incident.

Another drone was spotted in January when it flew over La Moraleja prison in Dueñas (Palencia) while prisoners were out in the patios.

An immediate search confirmed that nothing was dropped, but although the Guardia Civil combed the area outside the prison, they failed to locate the drone’s pilot.

WASTE MATERIAL: The minister with an earlier discovery.

Illegal waste exports AFTER China closed the doors to the importation of waste material, it has been diverted to other parts of Asia and recently Malaysia seized large volumes of illegal plastic waste sent from Spain.

According to Greenpeace, in 2018, Spain was the eighth largest exporter of waste to Malaysia and much of this was sent by clandestine methods with the content of contain-

ers not being properly described.

The Minister of the Environment in that country, Madam Yeo Bee Yin recently revealed that no less than 24 containers full of plastic waste which cannot be recycled was seized in Selangor State and as they have been imported in breach of a United Nations Treaty, all will be returned to Spain in due course.

‘Mistaken identity’ MOROCCO has accused the Spanish television channel, La Cuatro, of airing a documentary it described as a setup.

A Punto de Mira programme broadcast earlier this month featured a Moroccan

portrayed as the ‘Pablo Escobar of Morocco,’ earning €180,000 a year selling a drug manufactured with tranquillisers obtained from the Spanish health system.

According to the Moroccan

authorities, the so-called drug dealer was a car-parking valet who leads a modest and blameless existence in Tangiers and lives with his mother.

Al Yaoum lied because he was told to do so in return for 2,000 dirhams, the Tangiers police concluded after questioning him. A Moroccan newspaper claimed afterwards the Spanish documentary makers worked from a pre-written script and did not apply for reporting authorisation, entering Morocco as tourists, not journalists.

Production company Unicorn refuted the claims and declared that at no moment was the reporting faked.

“We know we told the truth, but we didn’t pay anybody and it wasn’t a setup,” the company said.

Mediaset, who owns La Cuatro, has since analysed the images of the so-called ‘Escobar’ and Akhbar Al Yaoum, and found the person arrested is not the same person in the documentary.

Accused of dishonesty A FORMER Spanish Ambassador to Venezuela has appeared in court with four others accused of laundering €4.5 million taken from PDVSA, a state petroleum company headquartered in Caracas.

Some 25 officers from the UCRIF and the UPR (Prevention and Reaction Unit) entered the building and managed to free eight women who had been forced into prostitution.

Police say the club was the base for many transsexuals and women to carry out their illegal sexual activities, often against their will.

Unkind sons to lose out THE Supreme Court in Madrid confirmed that a mother from Vizcaya had been entitled to disinherit two of her sons.

The woman cut two of her three sons out of her will owing to what the tribunal recognised as the sons’ ‘contempt and neglect’ during her lifetime.

The Supreme Court ratified an earlier verdict from the High Court in Vizcaya, which had in

turn upheld a verdict from a lower court.

There was no justification for the behaviour of the two sons, which the court described as ‘attributable only to themselves.’

Their mother had been subjected to psychological abuse for many years, particularly in the later years of her life when she was in ill-health, the judges ruled.

FIVE teenagers were taken to hospital in Castilla-La Mancha after their school bus overturned on Monday.

The bus was carrying 12 school pupils and two adults when it overturned on the CM4114 road in Daimiel, Ciudad Real Province. The cause of the accident is currently unknown.

An emergency services helicopter took a 13-year-old boy to Ciudad Real Hospital after firefighters freed him from the wreckage. He was left with slight injuries following the crash, doctors said.

Three girls aged 11, 14 and 15, and a 56-year-old were also taken to Manzanares Hospital with slight injuries.

Now that Spain has passed its ‘Day of Overcapacity’ it is running on environmental credit, the NGOs said. Spain’s Day of Overcapacity came 18 days after the EU average on Friday May 10.

The NGOs report found that if every person on Earth consumed as much energy as the average Spanish person, 2.3 planets would be needed to fuel the demand for resources.

After sending them to hospital for a checkup, the officers approached the van and found a third Lithuanian inside, clearly affected by drink and drugs.

He too was sent to hospital and the van transferred to Guardia Civil headquarters in Granada where a search revealed an attaché case containing €18,000.

Closer inspection revealed a hoard of notes under one of the seats.

This could amount to more than €1 million but the

Guardia Civil are still checking it.

“We want a bank to take the cash and help us count it, but this is proving difficult owing to security problems and the procedures involved in depositing this amount of money,” said Guardia Civil sources.

The three Lithuanians, none of whom has a police record, insist that the cash is not theirs.

They have not been arrested and unless the investigation uncovers further evidence, they will be fined only for money laundering.

The maximum amount of cash that can be transported legally in Spain is €100,000 or €10,000 if taking it across a border into another country, regulations that were introduced to prevent moneylaundering or financing terrorism.

Borehole concerns OFFICIALS are warning there are around 500,000 poorly constructed water wells across Spain.

The body also warned a lack of personnel made applying for legal permits for these holes ‘long and arduous.’ It added: ‘It is necessary to correct and eliminate the serious threat that the abandoned holes pose, as Seprona [the Guardia Civil’s environmental arm] is currently monitoring very effectively.’ The group said the work is ‘very urgent.’

Nun killing NIEVES SANCHO, the 77-year-old Spanish missionary recently murdered in Central Africa, ‘had her throat cut, but wasn’t decapitated,’ according to her family.

Her brother believes that Nieves must have been the victim of a gang of robbers. Mother-General of the French convent which Nieves belonged to in the Central African Republic said: “In the morning, they all ate together after Holy Mass.

“Later that day, she went home after dinner and no one knows what happened from then on.”

Nieves’ neighbour claims that he found her door open and the inside wrecked, but she was nowhere to be seen. It was not until later that night they found her body in the jungle, hidden in the bushes.

The missionary’s funeral was held last Tuesday in Africa to fulfill her wish to ‘be buried in Africa’ as ‘life in Europe made no sense to her.’

Nieves, who was from the city of Burgos, had lived there for 23 years.

This murder comes just a week after that of 60-year-old missionary Fernando Hernandez in Western Africa.

Juan Carlos came to power following the death of former dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. He became Spain’s head of state and oversaw its transition to democracy which was completed with the adoption of the country’s Constitution in 1978. The former monarch appeared on

Spanish television in 1981 to denounce an attempted coup by Guardia Civil officers and called on Spanish citizens to back their democratic government. Juan Carlos then took a step back from the business of government, adopting a more ceremonial role similar to a British monarch. He courted controversy later in his reign, first with an outburst directed at former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez at an IberoAmerican Summit in 2007.

He also faced criticism after it emerged he had injured himself on an elephant hunting trip in Botswana in 2012.

Top of the low pay rank SPAIN has been named as the OECD country with the worst income rates for those aged under 30.

According to a recent report, 49 per cent those in employment between the ages of 15 and 29 are on ‘low wages,’ classed as pay less than two-thirds the country’s medium salary.

The new figures show a decline in wage quality for young people, with Spain going from number 16 in the OECD chart to first place for youth low wages this year.

Experts also warned Spain has a high percentage of qualified young people who are underpaid, leading to a ‘talent drain’ with workers choosing to move abroad for work.

The numbers of qualified, underpaid young workers has risen by 20.8 per cent since 2006.

‘Murder plot’ arrests CATALAN police have arrested three Colombian men in their early 20’s in connection with an alleged murder plot in Barcelona.

A court in Barcelona has remanded one suspect in custody and has bailed the other two.

An investigation into a fight outside a Barcelona nightclub earlier this year, which resulted in one person seriously injured, led the police to uncover the plan. Police had left the

investigation open in order to find more people involved in the brawl after having previously arrested one suspect. Officers tapped the suspects’ phones and claimed they were planning to murder one of the people involved in the fight with whom they had had disagreements ever since.

One of them was about to buy a weapon to commit the murder, officers alleged.

The case continues.

Online book ranking A RECENT study showed many readers are switching to online books. According to the 2019 Digital Report, the number of Internet users in Spain has grown by four million during the last year. Around 93 per cent of the population are now online, spending an average of five hours and 18 minutes a day on the Internet through a device.

For 2017, Lucas and Luca were the most popular names for babies, while the name Antonio was still the most common male name, with a total of 678,425 Antonios registered as living in Spain.

This was followed by Jose at 594,144, Manuel at 590,965, Francisco at 498,934, and David at 365,196.

For women, Maria Carmen was the most common name, at 656,276, followed by Maria

Live round training A SHIP with Britain’s Royal Navy was approached by a Spanish patrol boat after it began firing live rounds off Gibraltar as part of a training exercise.

Spain’s SPS Audaz patrol boat came near to HMS Sabre after the latter began its planned routine exercise. The incident occurred outside British Gibraltar territorial

waters last Saturday.

A Ministry of Defence spokesperson told Gibraltarian media the Royal Navy’s squadron in the British enclave had asserted its right to exercise in international waters.

Bird haven AN updated list has revealed that Spain now has 622 bird species, up 53 from the last survey in 2012.

The list shows all bird species which have been spotted in Spain since 1800 and shows how new arrivals have helped Spain become home to the second highest number of avian species in Europe. Some of these arrivals have been deliberately introduced, while others are escaped pets or have simply made Spain their home due to changing environmental conditions.

Fake cash A BRITISH family of five has been arrested for using fake £50 notes as their Mallorcan holiday spending money.

They were caught in Santa Ponsa when trying to buy a bottle of water with a counterfeit note.

On arrest, police found them to have 17 fake £50 notes plus £400 worth of legal tender, all of which has been seized.

Opioid crackdown SPANISH health authorities have announced plans to crack down on prescription opioid abuse.

The Health Ministry and regional governments will create a group ‘to evaluate and improve the use of opioids, particularly when delivered in forms which pose a greater risk of addiction.’

An increase in use to potent opioids, including fentanyl - a drug 100 times more powerful than morphine - has caused Spain’s health authorities to question how readily these prescriptions should be given out.

Spain slammed for torture THE UN Human Rights Committee has found that suspected ETA terrorist Gorka Lupiañez was tortured by Guardia Civil following his arrest in 2007.

Now the committee is urging Spain to ‘guarantee justice,’ and pay Lupiañez compensation. He is currently in jail having been sentenced to 50 years last April for kidnapping a family and other crimes.

It is also calling on Spain to put an end to incommunicado detention, ‘which creates a context more conducive to torture.’

Lupiañez - who in 2009 was sentenced to 11 years in prison for belonging to an armed gang, illegal possession of weapons and the continued crime of falsifying an official document - denounced the Spanish State to the United Nations Committee in June 2015.

According to his testimony, officers of the Guardia Civil arrested him in Berriz (Basque Country) when they found that

In his testimony, Lupiañez said he was beaten, had plastic bags put over his head, was deprived of sleep and subjected to death threats and other abuse. The

Guardia Civil denied the allegations.

The ETA member initially took his case to the European Court of Human Rights, which decided ‘not to admit’ his claim.

The committee said that it expects Spain to inform it within 180 days of the measures it will take in response to its Views, in accordance with the International Covenant on Civil Rights.

Fraught diplomatic relations VENEZUELA urged Spain to withdraw recognition of Juan Guaido and admit that it had acted rashly.

Juan Guaido, president of Venezuela’s National Assembly was recognised as the country’s president by the US, Canada and most of Western Europe, including Spain earlier this year.

Speaking from Venezuela’s embassy in Madrid, ambassador Mario Isea condemned the absence of any ‘official

indication’ of modification

“The decision was based on incorrect information,” maintained Isea, who lamented that countries like Spain could issue an ultimatum ordering ‘a democratic government’ to hold elections.

The ambassador then suggested future changes in diplomatic relations arising from the composition of Spain’s new parliament.

‘Outnumbered’ by expats

Your holiday home and squatters THE 2007 crisis undoubtedly led to an increase in those unable to meet their mortgage payments or pay their rent.

Some individuals and families about to lose their homes,

looked at the glut of empty properties close by and turned to squatting as a solution.

The majority of empty properties occupied by this new breed of squatter be-

longed not to other individuals, but to the banks. The Spanish constitution fundamentally supports everyone’s right to enjoy their own home so nobody really seemed to mind and squatting to an extent became socially acceptable.

Squatting unfortunately also became a business and not all squatters are actually homeless. As the trend caught on it took a new twist. Okupas (squatters) took to breaking into furnished private properties, particularly vulnerable properties being temporarily vacant holiday homes.

A supposedly homeless squatter will occupy a property knowing full well what it is and wait for the owners to turn up. When pressed to leave, the squatter asks for help (cash) to be able to move out and rent somewhere.

However the reality often is that the owner is relieved to get their property back without the extra cost and time of a court case, and the squatter -

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

having just been paid off - and is ready to move on to another property. In other situations more hardened squatters are being paid to take over an empty property by the genuinely homeless or those unable or not confident enough to break in for themselves.

These new organised ‘squatter mafias,’ consistently develop ways and tricks to gain earnings from these illegal acts so in general terms squatting has now lost much of the social acceptability it enjoyed in the past.

Although the Spanish criminal law (Codigo Penal 245.2) tends to protect owners and punish squatters, it is not al-

ways applicable. In many situations the court sentencing for squatting is a fine. In fact on November 12, 2014 the Spanish High Court ruled this law could only be applied in special circumstances and in all other cases, squatting should be treated as unpaid rent by a tenant.

The Spanish government being well aware of this, passed a law in June 2018 which attempted to protect ordinary home owners from this aggressive squatting of private property. However like many other new and grand sounding laws the reality is that the new law is still considered by many to be almost useless.

Theoretically the new fasttrack solution sounds fine. The court allocates a relatively short time for the squatter to provide evidence of their right to inhabit the property.

Should there be children, elderly or people of special needs involved, the court prepares social services to look for any needed alternative ac-

commodation. The squatters, once notified, have five days to present documentation to prove their legal occupation of the property, and if not the court should order their immediate eviction.

However taking into consideration; it is only the owner not the community who can take action; just how busy the courts are, the actual length of time court procedures in Spain can really take and other delaying tactics, it is often neither fast, simple nor cheap.

The owner who must pay for both a solicitor and a procurator to take the case to court is well aware that more often than not these costs will never be recovered from the squatters.

Consequently some owners are tempted to take the somewhat legally dubious route of paying off the squatters to leave and when not, then unfortunately the only remaining legal way to regain their property, is to actually take the squatters to court.

One seat was won by just 127 votes ahead of the PSOE and overseas votes which were not looked at until yesterday (Wednesday) could possibly see a change.

Although unlikely, if the seat was taken by the PSOE the council split would then be 13 to PP, 11 to PSOE, two to the San Pedro Party which previously supported the PP, but has been negative in recent comments and one to Ciudadanos.

Donating blood in Spain 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.

In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es.

Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible.

If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org.

A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname.

The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person).

Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe.

After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate.

After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months.

The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross.

Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery.

Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million.

This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice.

If in any doubt, seek professional help.

ECB eurozone growth concerns THE slowdown in eurozone growth is worse than expected, the European Central Bank has said, while Spanish output remains stable.

Members of the central bank’s Governing Council said during their last monetary policy meeting in April that a ‘persistence of uncertainties’ continued to threaten growth prospects.

Brexit, vulnerabilities in emerging markets and the ongoing trade war between the US, China and the EU were among the uncertainties, bank officials said.

The bank decided to revise down economic output (Gross Domestic

By Joe Gerrard Product, GDP) growth forecasts from the 1.7 per cent predicted in December to 1.1 per cent.

The bank’s warning comes as Spain’s central bank said in March that it expected GDP to have grown by 0.6 per cent during the first quarter of 2019.

The Bank of Spain found the country’s GDP growth was being boosted by improved household and business investment.

Spending increases planned by the left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) if it can form a coalition and

pass its draft budget would also boost growth, the bank said.

A fall in house sales and ongoing political uncertainty proved to be drags on growth in the first quarter.

The fact that Holy Week fell in April this year is also believed to have had an impact on growth figures.

Consumers spent 24 per cent more during the holiday this year compared to the last two, according to the Cetelem Seasonal Obersvatory.

The value of Spanish GDP stood at around €1.2 trillion at the end of 2018, according to figures from the National Institute of Statistics (INE).

Santander plans job relocations SPANISH bank Santander is planning to offer relocations to more than 3,700 workers affected by branch cuts.

The move comes as Santander continues to restructure its business after taking over the Popular bank. Santander bought the bank after Popular’s depositors withdrew money en masse in 2017.

Region plans first rent controls CATALUÑA is set to become the first Spanish region to cap rent increases after two of its governing parties agreed to adopt the measure.

New regulations stop landlords from increasing rents by more than 10 per cent of the average in areas of high demand for property. Some homes will be eligible for increases of a further 5 per cent.

The Junts per Cataluyna (JxCat) and Esquerra Re-

publicana de Cataluyna (ERC), who govern the region as part of a wider pro-independence coalition, agreed to implement the controls.

The measures are designed to stop rent rates being pushed higher by rising demand, particularly for holiday rentals. Industry figures including Barcelona’s Chamber of Urban Property claimed it could drive away investment, limiting new property building.

Record profit SPANISH airline Volotea made a total of €13.6 million in pre-tax profits during 2018, 63 per cent more than the previous year and the best in the firm’s history according to its own figures.

Fashion sales OVERSEAS sales for the Spanish fashion industry fell during the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2018, according to sector data which showed they dropped by 21 per cent in Britain.

Job losses MORE than 5,470 workers in the Spanish banking industry were dismissed in 2018, according to the Bank of Spain which found there were 181,999 employees in banks at the start of this year compared to 187,472 12 months previously.

Broadening horizons

By Sally Underwood HILE the Costa del Sol has long been known and loved for its magnificent coastline, it seems its inland offerings are quickly gaining traction too.

According to property experts, the areas in and beyond the hills behind the coast are establishing themselves as a go-to area for both sales and investment properties.

While the Costa del Sol itself is a large area, its inland space is even greater, incorporating a large number of typical Andalucian whitewashed villages, including historic sites such as Antequera, which offers settlements from the Bronze Age. These enclaves can make for both spacious and beautiful holiday and family homes, with plenty of land and stunning views, as well as investment properties for those wanting to do up or rent out a home.

This smaller market is slightly more niche, but still gaining ground with foreign buyers from Europe and across the world. In particular, areas such as Mijas Pueblo now attract large numbers of investors from Japan and Asia thanks to efforts by local authorities to boost the Costa del Sol’s reach across the world.

Frequently, buyers are continuing to come from northern Europe and Scandinavia as well, with large numbers of investors flocking to the Costa del Sol from Belgium, Germany, Sweden and Denmark, attracted by the lifestyle and strengthened Euro.

WHILE buying a property in Spain to enjoy the Costa del Sol’s sun-filled lifestyle is always a good idea, it seems that 2019 might be a particularly good time for investors too.

A number of factors mean the property market is especially attractive at the moment, potentially offering good returns on the right home.

Secondly, Spain’s mortgage market has also improved in recent years, with interest rates lower and banks lending more; up by 17 per cent from 2016 to 2017.

Finally, property prices continue to rise, at a rate of around 5 per cent a year, making a return on investment more likely.

N attention-grabbing first impression is vital to successfully marketing a property.

These days home hunters invariably start their searches online. Think about how many listings they are likely to skim through on each property portal, and it becomes obvious that an eye-catching photo and interest-peaking caption are essential to get prospective buyers clicking on any particular one to find out more.

The front page image might encapsulate the lifestyle buyers could enjoy if they put in an offer. If it’s a beachside apartment, then an image of sea views from an attractively set out terrace will have buyers picturing themselves sitting back and enjoying an al fresco glass of wine as they watch the sun go down. If it’s a renovated farmhouse with traditional features in a quiet country setting, then sell them the idea of relaxing in a cosy, character-filled sitting room.

To get an interested house hunter to click for further information, the next step is to sell

ATTRACTIVE TERRACE: Sell the sea views to potential buyers. them the idea of going to view the property. Research suggests as many as one in three buyers will give less than five minutes of their time to checking out a property on the internet before deciding whether it’s worth a visit. So it is crucial that sellers give their

property the edge.

Yes, it’s great your home comes with an underground parking space, a separate laundry or a downstairs loo.

But save those images for the end of the report.

The description should wow. Listing how many bed-

rooms and bathrooms it has and the fact it has air-conditioning is not enough. The guiding marketing principle is to make a property stand out from the crowd.

Think about what makes it different from all the others: what makes it special, what is

its unique selling point.

It could be its outstanding location just metres from the sea. It could be its huge roof terrace, complete with stylish chill-out zone. It could be the quirky nooks and crannies of a typical village house.

A professional estate agent will be a dab hand at producing polished and effective property marketing reports.

They will be able to recognise stand-out photos which best represent the property’s attractions. And they will choose the most appropriate order in which to group images online.

Some estate agencies use professional photographers who know how to capture images to make properties look at their very best.

Property sector professionals can also advise sellers on how to stage a property in preparation for photos and show it off to its best advantage.

First impressions absolutely do count. To make sure a property reaches the widest possible audience, investing in a professional marketing strategy is a no-brainer.

Prefab homes FOR those of you who have not seen the British television series Grand Designs, prefabricated houses have come a long way since the grey ‘prefabs’ of the post-war era.

Nowadays, these houses, often referred to as ‘modular,’ are factory-manufactured and then erected in a matter of days; indeed the paperwork and ground works will be the processes which take the most time.

The design is limited only by your own specifications, but these houses are generally built from modern materials, which will naturally provide a house with a low ecological profile and consequently be cheaper to run.

The cost will normally be lower than conventional housing, but you are a lot less likely to suffer from the vagaries of the weather or overspends.

The packages which companies offer tend to be comprehensive from design, to construction, right down to the last details and are well worth investigating.

BUILD YOUR OWN: Prefabricated houses.

Moving inland?

HAVE you ever considered moving away from the coast, away from the hordes, away from the world of urbanisations?

Recent reports show that housing inland is increasing in value far quicker than coastal properties.

There are, however, bargains to be had, as there is a general depopulation of inland areas, away from the urban conurbations.

One of the areas we looked at was the Rioja Baja; in the famous wine-growing province, we found a seven-bedroomed house in a lovely village, fully equipped, immaculately decorated and with a tourist licence for the asking price of €200,000.

Another was a beautifully restored and extremely tastefully decorated stone house in a pretty mountainous village. Four bedrooms for €100,000.

Or how about a tidy, traditional village house with wonderful dark wood beamed ceilings and a myriad of rooms. Five bedrooms and an outside

CHOICES: Bargains to be had inland as well as on the coast. courtyard for the price of €40,000.

Next, we looked in the CastillaLa Mancha Province, around the area of Cuidad Real. Here we came across a beautifully decorated six-bedroomed detached house, with a small courtyard and terraces for €130,000.

Or even a one-bedroomed brand new apartment which

even has a garage for €40,000 and it even comes with a communal swimming pool.

And in Castilla la Mancha a five-bedroomed house, uniquely ‘old Spain’ can be picked up for around €60,000.

Spain offers a wealth of house buying opportunities whether you want to live close to the beach or inland.

What to negotiate on VERYONE knows that is worth negotiating the price of their homes when buying, within Spain some 62 per cent of buyers saying they managed to get an average of 10 per cent knocked off the price.

E

Sometimes it can be as simple as just making a lower offer, but at other times a little more thought may be required.

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned veteran, the negotiation part of the transaction

can be a little daunting and stressful. However, it is necessary to ensure you are getting the best possible deal for your money.

So, what should you negotiate when buying a home?

Closing costs. Your closing costs are determined by a variety of factors. Ask the seller to cover some or all of these costs within the agreed price.

Furnishings. Love how the seller has furnished and decorated the home? Buyers often negotiate keeping couches, fixtures, landscaping items, patio furniture, appliances, and more.

And many sellers agree, wanting to make the home more appealing.

Inspection and closing timing. Buyer offers

NEGOTIATE: Some buyers have saved 20 per cent. which include a quick inspection and close timeline are often more at-

tractive to sellers who have been going through the process for

far too long. Just ensure you allow yourself ample time to get your financ-

ing in place and complete proper, thorough inspections.

Repairs. Your inspection may uncover small or large repairs needed to bring the home up to standard. You can negotiate to have these items fixed before closing or ask for a price reduction to cover the costs.

Of course, the seller is always within their rights to refuse, but to clinch a deal they may be willing to shift their position closer to yours. If they don’t the choice is still up to you - do you love the home enough to pay the full price, and if you don’t will someone else?

O you have learned some Spanish, brushed up on how to cook a paella and you have decided that you want to live in ‘real Spain.’

The type of property you can buy, the people, the languages they speak, the lifestyle they live and the food they consume can vary, not only region by region, but even town by town.

In Andalucia, the hot, deep south, a traditional house might be a village house in a pueblo blanco with their whitewashed houses adorned with flowers and steep, narrow streets.

These inland villages, nor-

In the Valencian region, a traditional village house will normally be terraced on narrow streets, with tall carved wooden double doors (for access of the animals and carts of earlier times). The ceilings will normally be the unique barrel design and there will be ornate tiles.

In Cataluña, the houses almost have a French, rustic style, with stone walls and small windows. The village

may well be built on a hilltop with sheer drops to the side (originally to deter invaders).

In Galicia, to the north-west of Spain, the villages tend to be centred around the coast, in quiet fishing villages which seem a million miles away.

The houses around these villages tend to be tall and narrow and built to withstand the harsher Atlantic weather.

Each town and region will also tend to have its own lifestyle, from industrious Cataluña to the agricultural Valenciano villages to the slow-paced Andalucia, where everything is dictated by the heat of the land.

The languages spoken are also as diverse as the regions, with dialects and indeed unique languages being spoken locally. Whilst these languages are totally different, everyone

tends to be able to speak ‘Castellano,’ the national language of Spain.

You should be aware that the regional languages are not necessarily Spanish dialects, especially the Basque language, which would not be normally understood, whatsoever, by a native of Madrid.

There are some things though, that are universal throughout Spain. The Spanish love of paperwork, the fiestas, of which each town will hold its own unique celebrations, as well as national ones and the sociability of Spanish people.

So when people say they want to live in real Spain, you could legitimately ask, which ‘real Spain’ is that?

F you are thinking of marketing your home, then you should think about showing it in its best light.

Taking time to highlight its strengths and fix up some of its possible weaknesses can make a big difference in how fast it sells.

Not only that, it should help you get the true value of your home and achieve a realistic asking price, whilst ignoring the below points might actually reduce the amount you can realise from a sale. Here are our top five recommended repairs to make before selling your home.

• Repaint walls Giving your home a fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to spruce it up, and generally, it can be a do-it-yourself project. Make sure to cover any walls with scratches and chips and consider updating any accent walls with a more neutral coat.

• Repair floors Hardwood floors are a very desirable feature in a

SIMPLE: A few small touches can go a long way.

Regrouting can go a long way in making dingy tilework look brand new. If you have marble floors, consider investing in having them repolished so they sparkle like new - it makes a huge difference.

• Refresh the landscaping Show buyers that your home is the full package by dressing up the outside as well as in. Clean paths and driveways, plant seasonal flowers and plants, trim hedges and trees, install outdoor décor pieces and fill in mulch and gravel.

Any estate agent will tell you first impressions count, so adding a little kerbside appeal is a definite must.

• Fix your fixtures Leaky tap ?

Rusted drains? Loose drawer handle? Making these small fixes can make a big difference to potential buyers with detail-orientated minds.

Improve your kitchen. An out-dated kitchen can be a real eyesore. Updating cabinetry, repairing or replacing countertops, and installing new taps and sinks may be worth the investment.

A little thought, and relatively little expense can go a long way to helping you make a sale in a timely manner at a good price.

PROPERTY GUIDE

Living in Spain, by design HEN you buy a house in Spain, particularly an older house or one which is built for the Spanish market, you will notice appreciable differences to the houses in Northern Europe.

Appreciating these differences in design and the reasons behind them could make your life more comfortable.

The first and perhaps most obvious difference is that Spanish houses rarely have carpets or wood floors. Whilst this means that any dropped cups or glasses are guaranteed to break, it does mean your house will be cooler in the hot summer months and is a lot easier to clean.

Some people put rugs down in winter, and take them up in winter, a sen-

W

sible option as the winters do get cold.

The next is that most houses have persianas, the wooden or plastic roller shutters to cover the windows and doors.

During the winter months, these will keep the heat in, far better than curtains ever will, then during the summer they insulate the house from the extreme summer heat. The added advantages of having persianas are privacy, and they make life difficult for burglars.

Air conditioning is far more prevalent here and more of a requirement, but the trick here is to use these units sparingly. With electricity prices similar to England, leaving all your air conditioning units running on full blast 24 hours a day can be an expensive luxury.

PRIVACY: An advantage of persianas and rejas.

To counter the heat the Spanish will tend to live downstairs during the hot summer months, in the coolest part of the house, and it is not un-

usual to see families gathered around a table in the garage with the garage door wide open.

The Spanish will also often take to sitting outside, on the pavement, enjoying the cooler evening air.

Of course there is the

famous siestas, where shops and offices close and a lot of people have their main meal and then a nap (a siesta).

This is actually still common and ultimately a relief from the summer sun.

Another small differ-

ence is that the Spanish will rarely have their washing machines in the kitchen, they prefer them close to where they are going to hang out the washing. So do not be surprised to find a washing machine in the bathroom, in a garage, outside on a balcony or even in a little storage unit in the garden.

The other thing which is a great idea is that clothes are often dried on expandable, concertina racks placed outside windows or from balconies.

Another difference is that many older properties will have rejas; wrought iron grills to cover the windows.

These are designed to prevent burglaries, but be beware that you still should have adequate fire escapes.

OECD on jobs automation THE amount of jobs at risk from the rise of automation in Spain is the third highest of all members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The international body said some 30 per cent of low-income jobs and 15 per cent of high earning posts could be automated out of existence in the near future.

The rise of machines doing human labour is set to affect different industries unequally, according to the OECD. “Certain jobs will disappear, but above all the nature of many jobs will change,” the OECD said.

It said skilled workers stood to benefit as their jobs would become easier while low-skilled workers could see their roles automated and themselves out of work.

Spain should encourage firms to re-train workers to make the automation process as profitable and inclusive as possible, the body said.

The OECD added Spanish productivity continued to be low compared to other countries. Productivity refers to the amount of wealth generated per hour worked on average.

Dia set for change A PRIVATE equity company has completed its takeover of the struggling Spanish supermarket chain Dia, with its new owners already making changes.

LetterOne, owned by Russian tycoon Mikhail Fridman, took over almost 70 per cent of the company with Santander backing it as its main creditor.

Karl-Heinz Holland has been appointed the new CEO of Dia and Stephan DuCharme has been made its president. The former replaces previous chief executive Borja de la Cierva.

The changes at the top of Dia have all been communicated to Spain’s National Securities and Markets Commission (CNMV) regulator.

Karl-Heinz Holland takes up the post of CEO after previously serving in the same post at Lidl from 2008 to 2014.

Spanish bank reputation ALMOST 70 per cent of Spanish people view banks as ‘lousy or bad,’ making the industry the one with the worst reputation, with the LLYC’s Reputational Relevance report finding consumers see firms as lacking ‘social sensitivity.’

LOOKING AHEAD: Dia is under new ownership. ing out the important measures which the future holds for us and I ask our employees, franchisees, suppliers and clients to place their support in us,” he said.

Holland’s appointment has been interpreted as LetterOne signalling that it wants Dia to begin growing again. Lidl went from a 4.3

per cent market share to 4.9 per cent in 2018.

Dia is now set to examine its corporate strategy and find a way to compete with Spanish supermarket stalwarts including Mercadona.

It will also be seeking to boost earnings after losing €352 million in 2018 and €144 million in the first

quarter of this year.

Plans are reportedly afoot to revamp Dia’s store format and to make the company more efficient to claw back some of its losses.

Dia currently has 6,087 stores, 45 per cent of which it directly owns while the remaining 55 per cent are franchises.

Tech stock TECHNOLOGICAL solutions company Amper Group has bought 100 per cent of the stock of Formecal, who makes precision machine parts for the manufacturing and aeronautics sector, for €7.5 million.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT FOR reasons I find difficult to understand, I have to date, shied away from the issues which beleaguer South Africa. I really don’t know why.

Possibly it’s because I have my hands (and heart) preoccupied with enough of the vitriol and differences of opinion which surround the Immigrant and Islamist problems, and subsequently felt yet another can of worms emerging into the daylight and landing on the ol’ boy’s page may just be a bit much to handle!

Well, I’m afraid the shocking and despicable event which occurred last week has finally made me reach for the tin opener. What’s he ranting on about now? I hear you say. Oh, you hadn’t heard?

Well there’s a surprise. Not like the UK media to keep such a despicable act of this nature under wraps. Ha! Well I’ll tell you.

Last week a young South African municipal councillor Annette Kennealy was brutally murdered on the smallholding she owned in Louis Trichard, SA. Annette was an outspoken and tireless advocator of white farmer’s rights. Always aware of the danger she evoked she found it necessary to constantly carry a gun! (Nice!). Unfortunately, the firearm was not protection enough and she was discovered in her home, brutally bludgeoned to death with a pipe and a hammer.

Before the usual suspects begin wingeing on about my knowledge on the subject, I can tell you

Problems remain

STRIFE: South Africa continues to struggle with its colonial legacy. that I have always loved Africa. Visiting this beautiful continent many times I have experienced both Rhodesia and later, Zimbabwe.

I also stayed in South Africa during and after apartheid and twice toured the country with two number one records in the late 60’s. I have witnessed the empty shelves in the supermarkets of Victoria after the inauguration of Mugabe and expe-

rienced black locals slide up to me whispering that ‘it was much better under Mr Smith’!

Well, before the snowflakes begin muttering empty antiquated sentiments and quoting 200-yearold events, I can tell you that the white inequality which prevailed in those dark days was NOTHING compared with what is happening there now.

In what can only be described as genocide, the

white populace, especially the farmers, are slowly but surely being wiped out. Throughout SA antiwhite propaganda is being broadcast far and wide every day.

Those who manage to hold on to their properties, including friends of mine, live surrounded by walls and barbed wire with dogs roaming and guns permanently at hand. Those less lucky are begging in the streets (where they are often kicked to death) while others with families are moved into ‘white squatter camps’ where they live in filth and squalor, with up to 100 to a bedroom and shared kitchen.

Helpless white parents wander the streets unable to find work and watch their children go hungry, begging for bread and dying. And the West watches this despicable regime sink into an abyss of evil rapacity and bloodlust - even against their own - and does precisely nothing.

Shame on us all. Especially those in the West who continue to support its vile leaders. A bunch of tyrannical murderers who continue to wipe out those who simply happen to be of a different colour.

Oops, sorry. Doesn’t it count the other way around!?

Music for all

by Sean Davis - Head of Music at Laude San Pedro International College MUSIC is a gift which transcends cultural boundaries and has the potential to fill us with nostalgia and feeling. There is a genre of music, a song, to suit every emotion one may feel. For me, music is a gift which should be shared and through my teaching at Laude, I aim to share that with my students.

Music brings us together, fill us with emotion and nostalgia and caters to all tastes.

Music is constantly changing and sets and follows current trends and fashion. With the development of technology, music production has propelled into the digital world with young musicians making music from the comfort of their home.

Platforms such as Youtube and smartphone applications have given students the opportunity to develop as a musician for a small price. However, while applications are becoming increasingly more intuitive especially to the generations which grew up with them, students sometimes need direction within composition.

Within music teaching in Laude, we have

used technology as a tool to facilitate the students learning. Research has shown that use of technology within the classroom has superseded that of traditional video and audio.

However, it is not to be substituted by a professional tutor, only used to facilitate learning.

As a new member of staff in Laude International College, I was keen to develop the music department and offer new opportunities to students.

My true passion is music technology and I have worked in music production in the past.

Never had I taught in a school which had such a diverse range of students and I wanted to create a piece of music which connected students to their school.

Laude has just released our new song We are the Fire. The premise behind this song is to promote the values that not just our school demonstrates, but also a message everyone could relate to. The best part about the whole process has been the support and feedback received.

OPPORTUNITIES: Experiences which students will keep for a lifetime.

Everyone from teachers to parents are communicating and already it has spread beyond the school. This demonstrates why music has a place for everyone. The importance of teaching the young generation about music is crucial as it plays such a significant role within all different types of culture.

It used to be the case that playing music involved learning an instrument whether it be playing piano, learning guitar or singing.

As children are growing up with technology at their fingertips, they have become intuitive thinkers with their smartphones and iPads.

This has led an increased opportunity to create and perform music through the medium of technology. At Laude, we have choirs, we have bands, but also during lesson time we have been able to create an all-inclusive environment for children to become music makers without prior knowledge on how to play an instrument.

Whether it be making a composition through the use of technology, or singing and rehearsing for a performance, the opportunities are endless and ultimately these are the experiences students will keep with them for a lifetime.

Marbella Moments

30 May - 5 June 2019

Marbella’s Angels

‘ANGELES’ is the Spanish word for angels and also the name of Marbella’s mayor for the next four years.

Last Sunday’s local elections were nail-biting until the end, with the PP (Partido Popular, comparable to the Conservative Party) finally winning 14 seats and a majority vote, but it was touch and go until the very last minute.

I watched TV until well past midnight as my companions at RTV Marbella did an amazing job broadcasting live from the main contenders official headquarters whilst following the process from the studios with great insights. Together with a guest panel they analysed each step of the way and the consequences for the individual parties and their local representatives.

Emotions were running high, particularly as the PP majority wasn’t clear until 99.08 per cent of the ballot was in.

Opcion San Pedro (a party dedicated to San Pedro’s community) gained two seats, but lost so many voters their leader Rafael Piña didn’t want to say much ‘in the heat of the moment,’ but

WINNER: Angeles Muñoz won an outright majority for the PP in the local election. did say that if his work had not been well received by ‘his people,’ then perhaps he should just pass his seats over.

He also commented that possibly the choice of paint colour to the new Plaza in the San Pedro Church Square could have been a deciding factor to

this loss of support.

In order to have even been a contender for a seat in the local government each party had to have at least 5 per cent of the votes. It was heartbreaking to see other familiar political faces over the past four years now

have to leave the local political scene due to a dramatic loss of support for their parties, such as IU (Izquierda Unida - United Left) and Unidas Podemos (which literally means ‘Together we can’). Ironic, as if they’d have voted ‘together,’ the around

5,000 voters spread between these parties and new contenders such as Vox and Marbella Impulsa, they might have had a voice. Ultimately however it only served to dilute the results for ‘the left.’

There will be one new face to the local government as ‘Ciudadanos’ (translated as Citizens and ‘moderate right’) achieved a seat for the first time. Jose Bernal, leader of the PSOE (the Socialist and Workers Party), the next largest-voted party with 10 seats after the PP, graciously accepted the result and the opinion expressed by the city and ensured everyone his team would work towards the best for Marbella, regardless of political opinions.

Maria Angeles Muñoz was obviously delighted to finally have an outright rule and her party re-elected for another four years. On a personal note it must be nice for her to know her work is appreciated and people are recognising her efforts.

Where our international community is concerned, a large majority doesn’t know there were elections so please carry on as you are, but know whilst you’re living in Marbella paradise you still have an Angel watching over you!

See you next week, hugs and happiness, Nicole. www.rtvmarbellanow.com.

Fancy a starring role in a novel?

Nora Johnson

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

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

AS a writer, I’m often asked where do characters in novels spring from? Well, like people who make sausages, writers who create characters would sometimes rather their readers didn’t know exactly what’s involved in the production process. Sometimes it is not quite as edifying as you’d think!

Most writers I know keep a kind of ‘filing cabinet’ in the back of their heads of people they’ve met that they dip into for ideas.

Sometimes it’ll be the way someone talks breathlessly, lisping, repeating themselves (for instance, ‘I am clear that...’ As in: I am clear that Brexit means Brexit.’ Remind you of anyone? Maybe best not to go down that path). Or a physical tic - jaw clenching, chin scratching, nail biting (Oops! That you, too?).

Writers are quite leech-like. Virtually everyone I’ve met (who’ll all remain nameless to protect the guilty) has ended up in my novels somewhere. Nobody’s safe!

As for plot, it may be something totally inconsequential like a funny story or anecdote overheard on a bus, train, in the park. Or personal experience. Soul Stealer, for instance, not only delves into the secretive, shadowy world of identity theft, betrayal and revenge

WRITER’S BLOCK: The scourge of all novelists.

EWN 77

LEGALLY SPEAKING Who pays the water bill?

I am about to rent an apartment which has a community pool and in my contract it says that I have to pay the water bills. My friend who rents an apartment with a pool in another block doesn’t pay any water bills, so I wonder what the legal position is please?

P W (Costa del Sol)

but also mirrors real-life events. Years ago, I worked for David Elias, an internationally successful businessman, and attended lavish parties on his private yacht (pap shot and ending up on the pages of Tatler!). I later learned he’d died in the Far East. I felt sad but, that was that. Or, so I thought.

Next I read the Serious Fraud Office was investigating after reports of his Reggie-Perrin-style ‘death’ might be ‘premature’ following ‘inconsistencies’ in the death certificate.

It’s also claimed by creditors (he allegedly owed £100m+) he’d undergone cosmetic surgery to re-invent himself: a new identity in a new life somewhere. (And no, Crime Stop-

pers, I’ve no idea where he is either!)

Which brings me on to that old chestnut and scourge of all novelists: writer’s block.

I’m reminded of (Raymond) Chandler’s Law: ‘When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.’ Good grief!

Nora Johnson’s crime thrillers ‘Betrayal,’ ‘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. All profits to Costa del Sol Cudeca cancer charity.

S t a n d a r d l y, rental c o n - David Searl tracts state that the ten- You and the Law in Spain ant pays the electric and water bills, whether it is a house or an apartment. Sometimes the contract says the tenant pays the community fees as well.

Most apartments have individual water meters but some buildings have one communal meter and charge the owners a calculated fee. Perhaps this is your friend’s situation. Or perhaps the owner has factored the water bill into his rental charge.

One way or another, you can be sure that your friend is paying for his water. The communal pool has a separate meter paid out of community fees.

2019 ultimate guide to hand luggage essentials Christina Sharp GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL

Would you pass the test for a savvy, seasoned traveller?

christina@globelink.co.uk.

AS holidays approach, it’s worth remembering thousands of luggage items go missing in transit every year. Luckily, most airlines get it back to you within 48 hours. But what happens in the meantime?

Stay ever-ready with our 12 hand luggage essentials guide and avoid untold stress if your baggage decides to go on a little trip all of its own…

1) Travel documents Keep essentials in easily accessible compartments/folders. Include passport, visa, boarding pass, insurance, hotel, car hire. Carry printed copies of bookings, in case your mobile dies or goes missing!

2) Valuables Carry cash, cards and valuables (including spectacles, prescription). Don’t risk loss, theft of precious items, so leave the crown jewels at home! Don’t keep cash/cards in one place. Split it between you and travel companions for added security.

BE READY: For anything when you travel, including the essentials to stay hydrated.

3) Prescribed medication Carry enough medication for at least two days in case checked luggage goes walkies. Carry your prescription and keep medication in original packaging to comply with security requirements.

You’re permitted essential medicines of more than 100ml in hand luggage as long as you have supporting documentation from your doctor,

or the prescription.

4) First aid kit Painkillers, indigestion tablets, anti-diarrhoea, sickness tablets, allergy medication, plasters, bandages, antiseptic etc. Carry in a clear travel/toiletry bag. It’ll avoid simple ailments stopping you in your tracks.

5) Toiletries Basic travel-size items, like toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, razor. Keep

within 100ml liquid regulations. Carry anything else you can’t live without, like favourite make-up (you may not find your preferred brand locally, or it could cost you five times more!).

6) Spare clothes Trust me, this saves serious hassle if your luggage vanishes. Choose light, compact items. It’s amazing how small you can fold/roll shorts/ trousers and a top. Ladies - include a shawl and tie it to your bag handle to double-up as a blanket on the flight, or while travelling.

7) Snacks It pays to take food in case of unexpected delays (which may happen once boarded) and saves shelling-out airport prices. Critical if travelling with old or young travellers with special requirements. Carry chewing gum to help with ear popping and as an instant breath freshener.

8) Water Opt for a refillable water bottle.

Silicone is reinforced and folds up to save space. Most airports have water fountains past security.

9) Mobile phone/tablet Stay connected and occupied during the journey. Remember earbuds/ earphones.

10) Portable charger/adaptor Choose light, compact, powerful chargers to avoid stress of battery failure on the move.

11) Pen and paper Yes it’s old-style, but always useful and takes up no room!

12) Travel insurance We would say that wouldn’t we?

It’s a must and comes into its own if your luggage is delayed. Most comprehensive policies cover Baggage Delay, and Globelink is no exception.

Baggage is usually considered ‘delayed’ if you don’t have it after 12 hours. Baggage Delay covers purchase of essential items until your luggage arrives, like clothing, medication and toiletries. Get confirmation of delays from your carrier and keep receipts to claim.

Email me any other top tips to add to our Guide and we will share them next time!

WHILE like most people I was not certain that Theresa May had shown she was the person to unite her party and country on a Brexit deal, I was still moved by her emotional resignation speech.

I cannot imagine the pressures of being prime minister, both from her own backbenchers, the opposition, press, and even some of her Cabinet. At least Mrs May seemed like she genuinely believed she was trying to do the best thing for the country, even if no one else shared her views on what sort of Brexit we should have.

I only hope the next prime minister will have the same commitment to their country.

Saving a species DEAR editor, I read your article about the project to save the Iberian Lynx from extinction in last week’s paper (Issue 1768) and it made me very happy to read that something is being done to try and save this precious animal belonging to the Iberian Peninsula.

As we are currently experiencing the worst spate of species becoming extinct in a very long time, it is so important that we all realise how important it is to take action to try to stop it.

I know extinction is a natural phenomenon, but unlike in the past, when extinctions were caused by natural events, the current crisis is almost entirely caused by us humans.

Though this project may be a drop in the ocean with regards to tackling the problem, it is a step in the right direction.

Three conversations DEAR Editor I am learning Spanish and if I say so myself, not doing too bad. I can chat happily with my Spanish neighbours, converse with my doctor in Spanish and generally, apart from my English accent have little problems, apart from one.

The problem I have is how you can listen to three conversations at once, in any language, let alone Spanish.

And yet the Spanish, particularly the ladies manage to have this ability.

I was in a café the other day and there were four Spanish ladies at the next table, I saw and heard all four of them speaking at the same time. I had to have a small operation, the two nurses were wheeling me into the theatre with the doctor and all three of them were questioning me, at the same time, about whether I had eaten anything that morning.

Help!

OUR VIEW Adios, Theresa

Views expressed and opinions given are not necessarily those of the EWN publishers. No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.

A genuine belief We need fireworks DEAR Ed I have decided that in my next life, I want to come back as a firework manufacturer in Spain.

The Spanish must let off more fireworks per person than anywhere else in the World.

‘There’s a wedding, we need fireworks’; ‘A fiesta, oh we’ve got to have fireworks and we won’t just let them off at night, no, that’s too easy, I know, let’s wake everyone up in the morning with more fireworks, big, loud bangers’; ‘I know let’s celebrate the end of winter and not only will we let off tons off fireworks on the main night, but we can let off

FIREWORKS: A display for every occasion. bangers at two o’clock in the afternoon every day for a month before as well’; ‘New Year’s Eve? I know let’s let off some fireworks.’

And so it goes on, prob-

HAVE YOUR SAY

ably the only time that they do not let off fireworks is November 5!

I wonder how much the Spanish spend on fireworks each year?

BRITAIN’S prime minister has become Brexit’s latest casualty. Theresa May’s resignation announcement on Friday comes almost three years after the result of the 2016 referendum dealt a lethal blow to her predecessor David Cameron’s premiership.

May, who sided with Remain during the referendum, entered Number 10 Downing Street on a wave of pro-Brexit sentiment in her Conservative party.

‘Brexit means Brexit’ she vowed at the time, and she was going to make a success of it.

Almost three years later the country watched as May said her failure to do so was a matter of ‘deep regret.’

Theresa May will, for better or worse, go down in history as Britain’s Brexit prime minister. The issue will, more than any other success of scandal, come to define her time in power.

The deadlock which brought May low proved her government, parliament and Britain remains deeply divided over the biggest constitutional change made since it entered the then Common Market in 1973.

Vote after vote showed there was no majority in the House of Commons for her deal, or for the options laid out buffetstyle after its failure. Cross-party talks between the Conservatives and Labour opposition also proved fruitless.

May’s successor faces having to cobble a majority from a fragmented parliament together to pass either the current deal or a new version.

For the sake of Britain and the fate of expatriates living here, May’s successor has to achieve what she could not.

Now we want to hear your views.

PSOE makes gains in Spain and Europe AS most people know, this election did not use the UK’s almost unique ‘First Past the Post’ system. That’s what’s used in a General Election. The BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg has calculated if it had been a General Election using that system, there would be NO Conservative MPs in the UK Parliament at all! WOW! But before all the Brexit Party members get too excited about forming the next government, the arithmetic shows the Pro-Brexit parties got only 34.9 per cent of the vote when added together. The Pro-Remain parties added together got 40.4 per cent. The hopelessly split Tories and Labour would count as ‘Don’t Knows’ under current circumstances of course - and they got demolished. Roll on the next General Election!

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE Conservative leadership in June It’s a matter of ‘deep regret’ that she didn’t resign sooner.

She’s gone down but unfortunately due to her poor leadership, she has dragged the country down with her. Maybe now the UK can start to become a world leader again.

TIME OUT

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You are looking to having everything your own way, which may not be entirely out of the question. The only sticking point could be that you are not even willing to be sharp with someone who has been far from straight with you. Be prepared to trip over a loose end later if you do not tie it up now.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) So far as your work or business life is concerned, those in authority may seek to see things done their way. Where they seem to pay lip service to your needs, that is all it is… talk. Be clear that you want action and that you will not give in easily. Humour will not help.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Putting yourself first is necessary at the moment.

There is so much happening this week that you may be tempted to run yourself ragged trying to do it all yourself. It is possible to persuade others to give a hand and, although it may seem too much trouble at the time, you will reap the benefits in the longer term.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) You should bear in mind that you are the best one to decide what you want, when you want it and how you will go about getting it. Others may offer you short cuts, but is that really going to deliver the goods? I think not.

‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’

LEO (July 24 - August 23) What you truly want in life is now becoming clear to you. Not for you the fuzzy ideas of the past. Now, you realise that, if you do not give a strong lead, then others will lead you. To avoid going backwards now you must be determined and clear.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) With your self-confidence on a high note, you are ready to sing the song of your future. There will be highs and lows but that is what makes life interesting and exciting. Do not now avoid changes for the sake of peace.

What is exciting and balanced this week is where your future lies.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Where you see things failing to go your way, it may seem that others are being unfair. It is unlikely to be that simple.

Perhaps, by being too easygoing and friendly, you have given the impression of not being particularly caring. State your case and change the tune.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Judgement may be impaired this week and it would be advisable to get second and even third opinions. In much the same way that you sometimes have an instinctive feel for things and situations, you now have this sensation about a certain person. An unbiased and imaginative opinion scatters your stress.

Ready, set, glow SUMMER is upon us and this means time at the beach, by the pool, and the possibility of a tan.

While the safest way is always to use fake tan, is you do like to get a little natural colour there are some things you can do to give yourself a head start.

Firstly, for skin that is smooth, glowing, and ready for sun, try gently exfoliating before hitting the beach.

If you do like to sunbathe, this will ensure that any colour you do get is as even as possible

SUMMER SUN: Always take extra care of skin if sunbathing.

and lasts longer. In addition, sloughing off old dead skin cells before any sun exposure means any moisturisers or after sun applied later will also penetrate more deeply.

For a hydrating and gentle body exfoliant, try mixing sea salt from the kitchen cupboard with a little olive oil and a few drops of essential oil. Apply to damp skin in large, circular motions before showering off, taking

care not to slip.

For the face, gently exfoliate using a cotton wash cloth to remove cleanser or makeup in the evenings. Alternatively, use a gentle chemical toner to get rid of dead skin cells and ensure a smooth surface for tanning.

After exfoliating and catching any rays, make sure to moisturise thoroughly using a natural after sun such as aloe vera, or alternatively

use your favourite body lotion or oil.

Finally, for skin which is in need of some extra attention after sun exposure, try a hydrating and soothing mask by mixing honey with a few drops of essential oil before leaving for 10 minutes to get to work. After removing, make sure to apply moisturiser, paying particular attention to any dry or sensitive areas.

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com SO last week we talked about sciatica. Both here in my article but also at the seminar we held in the clinic.

Now sciatica is one of those wonderful medical terms which we use in everyday conversation to cover a whole host of aches and pains in our back, hips and legs.

As I explained last week official, medical sciatica is irritation or impingement of the sciatic nerve which runs from the disc L3 in your lower back to the base of your feet and symptoms include: • Pain in the buttocks or leg, often worse when sitting.

• Burning, tingling or ‘pins and needles’ down the leg.

• Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot.

• A constant pain on one side.

• Shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up.

www.euroweeklynews.com

Sciatica or ITB? Interestingly, official sciatica symptoms don’t include back pain!

So let’s look this week at some of the other conditions that often get referred to as ‘sciatica’ but are actually just pretending.

Conditions that can be confused with sciatica • Nerve problems from other discs - medical sciatica is only from L3 disc, however other discs in the lower back can cause similar symptoms into the legs, feet and buttocks.

• Hip Pain - Bursitis, tendonitis, referred pain from the lower back or knee as well as arthritis in the hip joint can all cause pain in the hip, buttock, outer thigh and lower back.

• Piriformus Syndrome - which is also called ‘wallet syndrome’ see article on my website!

• Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITB) This week I’d like to focus on

SCIATICA: Can cause pain in the buttocks or down the leg.

that last one, Iliotibial Band Syndrome.

What is Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITB)?

The Iliotibial Band (ITB) is a thick band of fascia that runs along the outside of the thigh from the

top of the hip to the outside of your knee. And it is crucial for stabilising the knee.

ITB Symptoms • Hip pain going up or down stairs or getting out of a car.

• Pain as the foot strikes the

HEALTH & BEAUTY

ground.

• Tingly sensation over the thigh.

• Pain at the pelvis or the outer edge of the knee.

Causes of ITB • Flat feet twisting the leg inwards.

• Poor pelvic stability.

• Weak gluteal or thigh muscles.

• Over training the legs.

• Lack of knee extension (getting the knee completely straight).

• Previous hip or knee surgery.

What can I do?

The first step is always to get a thorough clinical assessment and correct diagnosis. Like I said it can be easily missed as it causes knee, hip and / or back pain. And then you’re stuck treating the wrong area and... not making any progress at all.

Then some physiotherapy to reduce the inflammation. Long term it may be as simple as altering your training routine, properly supporting your feet and using some myofascial tape to support you while the inflammation reduces.

Kate Broadhead Health and Lifestyle coach NEW YEAR’S resolutions are almost six months old. It’s now time to start thinking about daring to bare on the beach scared?

To lose weight we first need to know what our body needs as an individual.

This depends on weight, height, age and fitness level. Then, we can start to look at a long-term way of eating which is enjoyable and sustainable. This can even also depend on your body shape!

Endomorphs are the most common body type to gain weight and struggle to get it off. It’s also the most effective shape to carb cycle with as they are the most sensitive to carbs!

Endomorphs have a larger bone structure with higher amounts of total body mass and fat mass, and this extra fat seems to resist most efforts to get rid of it.

The endomorph body type is solid and generally soft, and gains fat very easily.

Endos are usually a shorter build with thick arms and legs.

Carb cycling is a concept which has been around for some time. It means you can still eat carbs, as long as you eat them on certain days. You have low carb days (max 50g) for five days a week and mod-

combination for the first meal of the day. The protein from eggs keeps you fuller for longer and spinach provides tons of vitamins, more so if cooked rather than raw.

Add tomatoes for a further vitamin boost with antioxidant powers. You can also have this as an omelette, adding your favourite cheese!

Lunch: Try and include meat or fish to keep those protein levels high. Most people are aiming for over 100g of protein a day so you need to spread it out through the day. After a couple of weeks you will be feeling much braver and ready for the beach - I guarantee it!

ADAM THOMAS, 30, was spotted partying with brothers Ryan and Scott on a yacht in Ibiza last Wednesday. The Thomas brothers soaked up the Spanish sunshine as they partied with pals on board the luxury liner. Among the trio’s friends group was Chris Fountain, who used to star alongside Ryan on Coronation Street.

This holiday comes after Adam was rushed to hospital earlier this month when he dropped a weight on his face while training in the gym.

Adam left his role in Emmerdale in 2018 after eight years of playing Adam Burton on the show.

Corrie star Ryan has also had a stressful time, after being wrongfully accused of punching Roxanne Pallett with intent on Celebrity Big Brother last year.

Host on holiday CAROLINE FLACK showed off her toned figure in Ibiza as she sat cross-legged in a multicoloured bikini in a snap recently posted to her Instagram.

In the snap, appropriately captioned ‘Cloudy,’ the Love Island host sat on top of a wall with some clouds scatted across the blue sky in the background.

Caroline appeared to be enjoying the Spanish sun in a white sun dress as she was also spotted strolling around Ibiza Town with a friend. The presenter, 39, is set to kick off the fifth season of Love Island on June 3 on ITV2.

Reunited in Ibiza TOWIE’S Chloe Sims has sparked reunion rumours with co-star Dan Edgar after recently jetting to Ibiza following their bitter split.

After their brief fling, things ended badly as Chloe discovered Dan was also seeing his ex Amber Turner at the same time.

Dan then met up with both his love interests in order to admit to his wrongdoings.

Despite these events, Chloe looked happy to be united with Dan last week as they joined a group of pals for drinks in the Spanish sun.

This holiday came at the same time as his ex Amber appeared to have moved on as she was spotted last Thursday with her new boyfriend on a yacht in Ibiza.

THERE is a new addition to the Sala Group which is Villa Toscana, a delicious rustic pizza garden set against the spectacular backdrop of La Concha, right next door to Oak Garden & Grill and La Sala Puerto Banus.

When you step inside this quaint secret garden venue it immediately feels like you have arrived in Italy whilst maintaining the quality, taste and high standards set by the other venues in the La Sala family.

The Sala by the Sea Pizza brings a taste of Thailand topped with fragrant chicken satay and peanut sauce and the Oak Pizza is topped with succulent Galician beef carpaccio, buffalo mozzarella and plenty of fresh rocket.

For those with a sweet tooth, the Dolce Vita Pizza made with Nutella, fresh strawberries and lashings of whipped cream promises to be a particular favourite for both children and grownups alike.

A great taste of Italy

VILLA TOSCANA: A secret garden of delight.

With its roaring artisan wood burning oven, this new addition to the Sala brand will rapidly become the home of traditional, authentic Italian pizzas in Marbella.

Available to dine in or takeaway, the pizzas are uniquely served in three delicious

ways: traditional Italian, gluten free, or light with a fresh salad in the middle for all to enjoy. To find out more about this new rustic Tuscan pizza garden, sign up on the Villa Toscana Pizza website www.Villa ToscanaPizza.com.

Every night sees music and drag acts from 8.30pm as

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks a nine-course tasting menu for daughter Stefanie and her friend.

My birthday girl!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com

I’M happy living here in Spain and love the weather, but I do miss my girls and I miss the family life which we used to have, long Sunday lunches, family Christmases and of course birthday celebrations.

So when Stefanie said she wanted to spend her birthday celebrations with us in La Cala, I was delighted. Last weekend she flew in from London and our driver Edu who collects our clients for the restaurant, picked them up from the airport.

On Saturday evening we treated them to a surprise tasting menu comprising of nine courses which is like eating a marathon of beautiful on-trend foods like stone bass with Galician clams and truffles, Galician oysters, tempura scallop katsu sauce, smoked sous-vide duck with foie gras, cherry glaze and mini Beef Wellington.

Elegant, interesting and sophisticat-

ed, the way food should be, and it’s why I love to cook.

Stef and her friend Lou came away without their boyfriends to eat their way through all the courses ending with unpasteurised cheeses and Champagne.

After an exhaustingly busy evening I sat with them and puffed on my Cuban cigar on the terrace. “We are off to the beach tomorrow,” I said. (We close on Sundays) “Great” they said, “Which beach?”

Now there’s the thing; we know all the beaches well, but it’s nice to get away from the local ones from time to time and be a bit incognito! So we booked Claro beach which is about 40 minutes away near Estepona in the Laguna village.

I had been before with friends a couple of years ago and we liked it because the food was different and the setting is great. When we arrived, the manager/ owner welcomed us; she is French, and lovely. I love the little touches made to the restaurant, it looks so pretty.

We had cocktails to start off with and I ordered a bottle of Laurent Perrier Rose which Michele my wife doesn’t like! Always in trouble, I tried to get an alternative rose Champagne, but there wasn’t one available.

CELEBRATIONS: A weekend filled with happy eating.

“Worse things have happened,” I said, “We could be sat in the UK in the cold, drinking beer talking about Brexit, so let’s celebrate the moment!”

We had a mixture of dishes to start, including ceviche of sea bass, salmon tartare, home-made croquettas and panko prawns, all very tasty and beautifully presented on some lovely crockery. Christian the head waiter and host was amazing.

At the end of the meal, noticing that I loved a cigar he brought over a box of

Cohiba Cuban cigars and offered me them. “I recognise you” he said, “You are Steven Saunders, Chef… I follow you on Facebook and Instagram.”

Christian is a true pro, on the ball and made us feel very welcome.

After a hard long week there is nothing better than sitting near or on a beach smoking a decent cigar with a glass of good red wine with your daughter sitting opposite, life doesn’t get much better.

But you know that feeling when you

have eaten too much, but on the way home you want to eat more? So we ordered an Indian takeaway and sat drinking rosé, singing Mick Hucknall and Ed Sheeran songs until 3am.

Michele shut the party down when she realised that I couldn’t walk in a straight line and in the morning we all looked a little sorry for ourselves.

As Stef flew off back to the UK, I waved goodbye, a bit upset not to be seeing her again for a while and as I waved I received a text from my other daughter Serena. “Hi dad” she said “We are flying over for your birthday in June.”

That’s great and I love them both dearly, but after such a heavy weekend all I could think about was sleeping.

“You are getting old,” Michele said, “Yep” I agreed “It’s all starting to catch up on me!”

I asked Stef what her favourite dish was… “I loved the ceviche,” she said.

“But I meant your favourite dish at my restaurant!” “Oh” she said “Sorry dad lol.”

So for Stef and all you foodies out there here is my version of a ceviche of sea bass, a classic dish and a great summer dish ideal as a starter in the centre of a table whilst the boys barbecue the meat course !

Ceviche of Sea Bass THIS recipe dates back thousands of years, thought to have originated in Peru, but some historians say that Moorish women from Granada brought the recipe to the Peruvians when they accompanied the Spanish conquerors.

Either way it’s the national dish of Peru and the loveliest, freshest dish to eat on a hot summer’s day!

Variations can be made by adding fresh mint, chunks of fruit like mango, tomato or seaweed.

INGREDIENTS (for 4) Juice of 3 limes Juice of 2 lemons 2 thi n sl i c e s o f f r e s h g in g e r shredded finely 1 clove of garlic crushed and

chopped finely 1 bunch of coriander with stalks washed and chopped finely 2 large fillets of sea bass 1 red onion Maldon salt 1 red chilli de-seeded and shredded 1 g re e n ch illi d e -s e e de d a nd shredded ½ teaspoon of dried chilli seeds A little good quality virgin olive oil A little wakame seaweed as garnish METHOD Squeeze the juice of three limes and two lemons through a sieve into a bowl and add the thin slices

of fresh ginger, the garlic and the chopped stalks of a bunch of coriander (keep the leaves) mix well together.

Skin and fillet the sea bass.

Slice the red onion and toss with ½ tsp Maldon salt.

Cover with hot water and leave for four to five minutes, then drain and refresh under a cold tap.

Cut the fish into small dice and toss with some Maldon salt.

Put in a bowl with the onions and the sliced chillies and pour the lime juice and lemon juice marinade over and drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with the dried chilli seeds.

Le a ve to ma rina te for a fe w

minu t e s then add the coriander leaves, mix in and garnish with the seaweed and serve. See photo.

FRESH: A perfect dish for summer.

Spain adores its drag queens Barry Duke I THOUGHT I’d seen drag queens in every shape and size when I lived in Brighton, but nothing prepared me for the variety of unique drag acts I saw on my first holiday to Sitges, close to Barcelona.

After watching three fabulous and very funny acts in a single bar on a Saturday night, I asked a barman whether drag was just a Sitges thing, or whether acts like these were to be found elsewhere. He chuckled and said ‘Spain loves its travestis (transvestites) and has more drag artists than a duck has quacks.’

When I settled in Spain I found this indeed to be true. But no amount of Googling explained why female impersonators are so popular in a country which, until the end of the Franco era and the collapse of the power of the Catholic church, treated anyone deemed a ‘deviant’ with the utmost cruelty and contempt.

But there’s a great deal on the Internet about the history of drag acts in the

DRAG ACTS: Spain loves its transvestites (travestis).

US and Britain, and one article explained the word ‘drag’ originated in the theatre to describe lengthy dresses worn by men that would drag across the floor.

Spain even has the world’s only drag queen science populariser. Mario Peláez has a unique way of sharing knowledge.

This doctoral student - ‘Sassy Science’ wears drag when discussing scientific

research and promoting gay and women’s rights. He has a number of English language videos on YouTube.

What got me thinking about drag shows was the sad news that one of Benidorm’s top drag venues, the renowned Rich Bitch Showbar - which starred in ITV’s ‘Benidorm’ and BBC’s ‘Escape to the Sun’ - shut last month

when owners Gary Brown and his partner of 26 years, Michael Beddow, decided to return to the UK to open a hotel in Blackpool.

For 21 years, Rich Bitch was one of Benidorm’s most popular nightspots where Brown, aka Miss Jordan Rivers, together with a bevy of drag queens, entertained literally tens of thousands of tourists and locals.

Gary performed his swansong act as ‘the Vicar of Benidorm’ when he gave a commitment blessing to a couple who met and fell in love - Colin Wainwright and Angel Perez Martin.

The event took the form of a joyful street party hosted by Company bar in the Old Town, and I was delighted to be the official photographer.

The combined commitment ceremony and farewell party for Gary and Michael attracted around 80 guests and developed into a lively celebration, with Company bar providing bunting, balloons and a superb buffet lunch.

Have I ever dragged up? Yes. Once and it went horribly wrong. When I was 18 I got invited to a ‘vice versa’ party in South Africa. Men had to dress as women, and vice versa. I sneaked out of the house in a frock, wig and stiletto heels filched from my mum, but my parents found out when I was picked up by police who spotted me staggering home, wearing an ornate silk lampshade on my head. I was handed over to my parents in a very sorry state, and never heard the end of it for months.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public at weekends from 10.00 to 5.00.

Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you.

We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on

MOTORING MOTORING FACT

By Dilip Kuner RENAULT’S F1 team drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Niko Hülkenberg took the wheel to officially launch Renault’s latest hot hatch; the Megane RS Trophy-R at the Monaco GP. And they will be hoping that their race engineers will be able to transfer the form shown by the new car in testing on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring to their own slightly underpowered (by F1 standards) cars.

It took the record for a frontwheel drive ‘compact’ car by almost three seconds, beating the best previous lap set by the Honda Civic Type R. The car, officially unveiled last Friday, will not be available as a mainstream model, but rather as a limited edition of a few hundred units (Renault has not said exactly how many).

They will be available from next year with a ‘yet to be an-

nounced’ price tag. They are not expected to be cheap, with predictions being made they will top €50,000 each.

It was developed as a racing car in a very short time, by a small dedicated team who focused on three aspects: maximum weight reduction (up to 130kg compared to the Megane RS Trophy excluding options), reworked aerodynamics and a more radical development of its drive axles.

Together with its 300bhp engine it is truly quick - it has set the new officially approved record and reference time for the compact car segment of production cars of the Nürburgring, now a world-renowned race track and proving ground for cars and sports performance.

It covered the 20.600km in 07’40’’100, and the official whole lap length of the Nordschleife 20.832km in 07’45’’389.

NISSAN’S plant in Barcelona’s Zona Franca has had its future guaranteed, but it comes at the cost of 600 jobs.

Nissan’s management and unions reached an agreement to maintain the viability of the factory, but it involves cutting the workforce. The departures will be made through early retirements (between 450 - 500), with the rest in voluntary redundan-

Nissan jobs go cies. Those taking early retirement will get 85 per cent of net salary until ‘official’ retirement at the age of 63. People applying for voluntary redundancy will be paid €50,000 net on top of their legally entitled compensation.

Workers will also receive a pay rise of 4 per cent over the course of the next three years.

This agreement has unblocked Nissan’s plan to invest €70 million over the next two years in a new paint plant for the factory, as the current facilities were on the verge of failing environmental regulations. This will enable another model to be assembled at the factory in the next two years.

Classic Car Club of Andalucía

CCCA Presidente Ian Giles with Patricia in front of one of the art pieces.

CCCA goes arty!

T’S an unusual thing for the Classic Car Club of Andalucia to participate in a static display, most members preferring to drive their cars rather than sit gazing at them in a car park.

However, it is quite a good thing now and again to put these gorgeous cars on display so that the general public can look at and enjoy them and, at the same time, their owners can meet, socialise and have a closer look at each other’s cars.

So that’s just what happened last Saturday in Mijas Pueblo.

The CCCA teamed up with famous Swiss-American Artist Kelly Fischer who was presenting her work for the first time in Spain, curated by Vesaniart in collaboration with the Municipality of Mijas, the Embassy of Switzerland in Spain and HG Contemporary Art Center in New York.

The CCCA would provide a super collection of 20 classic and modern classic cars to support the exhibition and the cars were parked close to the town hall in Mijas Pueblo where the exhibition took place.

The artist specialises in a form of street art and the members enjoyed a tour, and explanation, of the exhibits given by Ms Fischer herself. There was a plentiful supply of Cava to

I

keep members going whilst the cars were shown and the tour enjoyed.

Following that, a special BBQ lunch had been arranged at The Secret Garden in the village. All the club members attended along with the Artist, Ms Fischer, her husband and other local dignitaries which rounded off a most enjoyable day.

Some photographs of the cars are shown here on this page.

The GCVA Rally in Gibraltar The annual GCVA (the Gibraltar Classic Vehicle Association) Rally took place in Gibraltar over the weekend of May 18 and 19. The event was a huge success with well over 100 classic cars displayed on the Saturday in Casemates Square. A marvellous opportunity for people to view these beautiful cars at close quarters, the square was packed with visitors doing just that. On the Sunday a classic car run was arranged which started near Algeciras and finished with an excellent lunch at Los Barrios.

One for the diary next year.

JEC in Action Again The CCCA had already had its May classic car run which

More cars in Mijas, the Datsun 240Z of Win Percy in the foreground. was featured in this newspaper recently and last Saturday was the turn of the JEC (Jaguar Enthusiasts Club) to enjoy a day out and a good lunch.

The event, organised by JEC Chairman Philip Wray, started near Pizarra where, after the usual bacon sarnis and coffee, the route headed off to Zalea and then a fabulous climb over the Sierras de las Nieves enjoying some spectacular views and scenery along the way.

The route went on through stunning countryside to El Burgo coming back through Alozaina and Yunquera before heading towards Coin and a first coffee stop at Venta Gallardo.

From here the route wound its way around Coin and up towards Barranco Blanco where a most enjoyable stop for Cava at the home of a JEC member, Mike Ashmore, was much appreciated.

Lunch then was served at the Venta Cruz de Piedra just outside Coin which went down very well indeed!

The next CCCA events are the Clubnight and dinner on Tuesday, June 4 and then a classic car run organised by Ian Giles on Saturday June 8 which will finish with a firstclass lunch at Da Bruno’s Italian restaurant near Mijas.

The Artist Kelly Fischer (far left) and friends.

The CCCA Summer Ball Also in June, on Saturday 22, is the Club’s annual Summer Ball which will be held at the Hotel Tamisa Golf in Mijas Costa. Always a fabulous event, there is an hour or so of Cava and canapes served before an excellent three-course dinner which is served ‘al fresco’ under the stars around the pool with the golf course as a

backdrop. It’s a stunning venue. Some fabulous entertainment has been booked with plenty of opportunity for dancing until the wee small hours.

That’s it for now, more in the next issue.

Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com.

Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

Ron Garrood IN the mid 70’s, the second group of Robert Trent Jones courses were built on the Costa del Sol, including Los Naranjos Golf. He was commissioned by the developers of Nueva Andalucia and Las Brisas golf course, to design and build a second golf course on the estate, north of Las Brisas.

The site could not be better; 70 hectares of perfect golfing land with subtle undulations, a river and an orange grove from which the course got its name.

The instructions were clear, Banus wanted a championship course of classic design, long with wide fairways and large greens, suitable for international championships, but enjoy-

CLASSIC DESIGN: Wide fairways and large greens. able for all levels of player, and Jones delivered exactly that.

The design is typical Trent Jones Sr; open fairways and strategically placed obstacles; his aim was to build a course where the player had to think instead of just teeing high and letting the ball fly. With generous fairways and strategicallyplaced bunkers and water hazards. The greens, with Penn A4-grass, are spacious and slightly undulated. The tees are long and have four markers: red, yellow, white and black

with course lengths starting from 5.131 metres and reaching 6.532 metres at its longest.

Since 1977, Los Naranjos has hosted several major competitions, including the Spanish Open, and is ranked one of the best golf courses in Spain. In 2005 and 2008 it was voted ‘Course of the Year.’

CHAMPIONS: Valencia took the Copa del Rey.

Redemption for Valencia

By Dilip Kuner IN the end there was redemption for Valencia.

Halfway through their centenary season, most of the club’s fans could see little reason to celebrate. They were just four points off the relegation places and the days of head coach Marcelino Garcia Toral looked numbered.

But the club hierarchy held their nerve. They decided that the team had not being playing badly and just needed a change of fortune. Garcia Toral kept his job and now they are the holders of the Copa del Rey. They had to do it the hard way too, beating holders Barcelona 2-1. For the latter it was the end of an era. For the first time in 1,456 days they were not the cup holders.

In terms of European competition, winning the showdown in Sevilla was irrelevant. Valencia’s road to redemption had already taken in Champions League qualification when they sealed fourth spot in La Liga the previous weekend with a 2-0 win against Valladolid.

A season which threatened to be a disaster had been rescued then, but the Copa del Rey has turned it into a triumph. They can now look forward to the next campaign with huge optimism. Not so for Barcelona.

They may have won La Liga at

a canter, finishing 11 points ahead of Atletico Madrid and 19 points in front of arch-rivals Real Madrid, but that is not good enough for the Catalans.

They crave Champions League glory, but the team is starting to look over-reliant on one man - Lionel Messi.

Indeed, it was Messi who scored for Barcelona in the 2-1 defeat, but, certainly in the first half, even he had looked a little lost and ineffective.

Valencia could have gone one up after just five minutes when Rodrigo ran through and rounded keeper Jasper Cillessen, only for a last moment slide from Gerard Pique to deny him on the line.

But Valencia did not have to wait long to take the lead. Jose Luis Gaya controlled a long diagonal ball from Gabriel Paulista and pulled it back across for Gameiro to step in and convert the chance.

Messi found himself isolated - the most forward player with no one around him to help out.

Barcelona were going nowhere, while Valencia were swift and incisive.

They took advantage when Francis Coquelin found Carlos Soler sprinting up the right wing, past Alba. Rodrigo converted the ensuing cross to make it 2-0.

Barcelona now awoke from their lethargy and started to play.

With their substitutions Barca finally gave Messi some support in the form of Arturo Vidal and Malcom.

The result was several opportunities, with Messi finally scoring from close range after Clement Lenglet’s header hit the post.

But despite their renewed vigour Barcelona couldn’t find a way through, and it is now Valencia who are the Copa del Rey champions.

RAFA NADAL cruised past Yannick Hanfmann, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3 in the first round of the French Open at Roland Garros.

By Dilip Kuner SPAIN’S Carlos Sainz and his McLaren team can look forward to the rest of the season with a little more optimism after an excellent Monaco GP. While the plaudits were rightly taken by Lewis Hamilton, who held off Max Verstappen (who was relegated to fourth spot following a five-second penalty for a pitlane incident) for 30 laps on degrading tyres, Sainz was ‘best of the rest’ to finish sixth.

Only the Mercedes of Hamilton, Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel, second Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas and Red Bulls of Verstappen and Pierre Gasly were ahead of him.

It means that Sainz’s love affair with Montecarlo extends for another year. He has scored points in every AFTER a thrillingly close finish, Harm Müller-Spreer’s Platoon crew clinched the first regatta title of the 2019 52 Super Series season, winning the Menorca event by a single point on Saturday.

Second placed was Provezza, who led into the last race, but missed out on the overall win by just four seconds.

Platoon finished strongly, super consistent tactician John Kostecki pushing the risk-reward equation more through the second half of

Monaco GP he has competed in, and is rightly proud of his record on one of the most difficult tracks on the F1 calendar.

It hadn’t looked too good for Sainz and McLaren on Thursday, when technical issues meant he missed most of free practice in session one, but he still managed to qualify in P9.

Then a combination of a scorching start, good pace and decent tactical decisions

by McLaren saw him pick up three places by the end.

Sainz enjoyed a fantastic start, surging past the Toro Rosso of Alex Albon before going around the outside of Daniil Kvyat through Massenet. It was a daring move, one that Sainz called ‘definitely one of my best overtakes.’

When the safety car was brought out on lap 11,

GREAT START: Sainz got ahead of the Toro Rossos.

McLaren opted not to pit him for fresh rubber. It turned out to be a smart decision. By the time he came in on lap 30 he was running fifth and rejoined in ninth.

When Alex Albon and Romain Grosjean pitted he was up to sixth, where he finally finished.

After the race a beaming Sainz said: “A very good weekend. It was difficult to

start with, but we peaked at the right time, which was in qualifying [and] we peaked in the start picking off the two Toro Rossos.

Around the pit stop we managed to put some solid laps together and jumped the rest of the field. So really happy, really good job by all the team and that P6 is a good one.”

The result matched his

Sainz explained: “My Dad, when I was a kid, told me, ‘Look, if there’s a place to shine, that is Monaco,’ and I always prepare this race more special than the

Super regatta for Platoon the eight-race series. Armed with excellent all-round speed across the event’s varied wind conditions - from six to 18 knots - Platoon delivered a 2,2,1 from the last three races to narrowly eclipse Ergin Imre’s Provezza.

It is Platoon’s first regatta title since they won the Rolex TP52 World Championship in 2017 in Scarlino,

Tuscany. “The fleet is getting stronger every year, it is definitely harder than ever to win and so we are super happy to start the season like this,” smiled Platoon’s Victor Mariño.

“The week was not so good at the start for us, we started a bit slow and cold, but we got better day by day.

There is a lot of pressure

on us this year as everyone says ‘Hey we need to win the season, we need to win the season,’ so at the moment we have won the first one, but we need to keep working hard.”

Had Provezza only been able to close down Bronenosec in the final sprint to the finish line of the last race today, it would have been a different story.

But the Turkish-flagged team have to be content with their significant improvements on what was a barren 2018 season when compared to their 2017 season, when they were regular podium contenders and won the Puerto Portals regatta.

It is a welcome one-two for designs from the Judel/Vrolijk design studio, the first time in the eight-

others, put a bit more focus on it, focus a bit more and it seems to pay off all the time.”

Having failed to score in the first three races of the season, Sainz has now taken points in each of the past three Grands Prix, with this result moving him four points clear of Haas’s Kevin Magnussen and into seventh place. year history of the 52 Super Series where Judel/Vrolijk designs have taken both top spots.

The defending champions Quantum Racing could not continue a 2,1,1 momentum over the previous two days, and with a seventh and sixth today, Doug DeVos’s crew finish third.

Müller-Spreer’s crew reap the benefit of a settled lineup - the majority have sailed together for five years and the only swap has been the addition of super-chilled Briton Jules Salter as navigator.

“It is really good for Jules to come in and win the first event,” Mariño, the runner trimmer explains. “He is very calm, quiet and a really nice person to have on the boat, and he passes that calmness on to all of us.”
