‘Charity’ scam HUNDREDS of families with children studying at an Alhaurin de la Torre school have fallen victim to a scam which saw a fake charity swindle millions across Spain. Around 300 families with children enrolled at the Clara Campoamor primary school have reported the
scam to the Guardia Civil. They claimed they donated more than €1,000 in total to an Aragon-based NGO claiming to raise money for a girl with cancer through the sale of eco-friendly bags. It has since been alleged the National League against Childhood Cancer was a front for a nationwide scam

NEWS EXTRA Donations for Niko BONE marrow donations are set to be taken at Alhaurin de la Torre’s Casa de la Juventud from Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 2pm and 5.30pm to 9.30pm in aid of nine-yearold Niko who has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Toll free THE AP-7 motorway is set to become toll free by the end of this year as part of plans to reduce traffic and accidents on other roads, with new junctions also set to be built at Ojen and Benahavis.
New rules TORREMOLINOS’ council has approved new guidelines for police officers, firefighters and social services handling cases of those with Diogenes Syndrome, a condition where people hoard rubbish and other items in their homes.

‘Tip of the iceberg’ some €5 million could have been taken from donors. Parents are now being encouraged to only donate money to well-known organisations such as the Red Cross. “Nothing made us doubt them when they wrote to us on WhatsApp and they had a very well-designed website and said they were headquartered in Madrid,” parents said. Parents of children at the school added: “They have scammed us and we hope to get our money back.” It is now believed that at least 12 schools could have fallen victim to the scam in Malaga Province alone. A centre in Ronda was also among those affected. Sesmero said “A sick girl was used to pay for sinners.” National Police officers investigating the scam said it was being run out of Zaragoza in Aragon. Officers added businesses and hospi-

NATIONAL POLICE officers have arrested a 66-year-old British man, branded an ‘amoral fraudster’ by a judge, in San Pedro de Alcantara after he fled Britain in 2004. Police sources said Christopher Woodhead, from Leeds, swindled more than €450,000 from companies before being found guilty in abstentia in 2004. Britain’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) confirmed the arrest had taken place. The case continues with Woodhead likely to be extradited to Britain.

Fire season FIREFIGHERS specialising in tackling wild blazes are preparing for the onset of the peak period of the year after Andalucia’s summer ban on barbecues and fires came into force on Saturday. The Junta de Andalucia has earmarked a total of €20.6 million to tackle the blazes, about €300,000 more than last year. Around €10 million is due to be spent on prevention with the rest going towards extinction. Patricia Navarro, the Junta’s representative in Malaga Province, said the region’s fire department was the ‘best prepared’ in Spain to tackle the blazes. It comes as more than 100 firefighters trained to tackle wildfires in Benahavis last week.

Region celebrates THIS picture of the Santa Maria Cathedral in Murcia comes as the city’s region celebrates is annual holiday this Monday (June 10). The Murcia Region covers an area of about 11,313 square kilometres, about 2.2 per cent of the Spanish landmass. It is home to almost 1.5 million people, roughly a third of which live in its capital, Murcia City. The region has a warm, arid climate and water transfers from nearby rivers have supported its farming industry. It is home to the Mar Menor lagoon, a 170-square-kilometre body of
water known for its diverse marine life. Ancestors of modern-day humans have inhabited what is now the Murcia Region for around one million years. Phoenician settlers from North Africa arrived in the 3rd century BC and founded a city which the Romans named Cartago Nova after their conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. The modern-day city of Cartagena stands on its site. The area was later ruled by the Visigoths and then the Islamic Moors

In ‘very good spirits’ A YOUNG British woman is said to be in good spirits as she continues recovering from a balcony fall in Benalmadena which left her with several serious injuries. Niamh McGeoghegan, 18, from Northern Ireland and now living on the Costa del Sol, is undergoing specialist treatment following the fall in the early hours of St Patrick’s Day. Niamh’s mother Claire told the Belfast Telegraph she was in ‘very good spirits’ and now focused on regaining her mobility.
“She is frustrated, she wants to get on with her life, she wants to leave hospital and come home,” Claire said. “She is very determined and strong and just trying to build up her own upper body strength. Apart from that she is in really good form and trying to do a bit more each day,” Niamh’s mother, Claire, added. Claire, 47, said her daughter had accepted her injuries, which included three skull fractures, brain swelling and a severed spinal cord, would be life-changing.
“After a while she woke up one morning and she said to me: ‘Am I paralysed?’ and I said: ‘yes’. “At the moment all we have is hope. But she’s very determined and she will manage somehow,” Claire said. Niamh is thought to have fallen three storeys in the early hours of St Patrick’s Day while at a friend’s birthday party. A JustGiving page has been set up in aid of Niamh. To donate visit: https://www.justgiv ing.com/crowdfunding/tonycurran-5.

ART SHOW: Malaga City’s Picasso Museum has exhibited works on Olga Khokhlova (inset). ALMOST 85,220 people have visited Malaga City’s Picasso Museum for an exhibition of the artist’s works based on his first wife. The Olga Picasso exhibition is now set to travel to Madrid where it will open in the Caixa Forum on Wednesday June 19. The exhibit features paintings and other works on Olga Khokhlova, Pablo Picasso’s wife and early muse. It was previously put on in Moscow. The museum said in a statement the exhibition showed a different side to the relationship and to Picasso’s view of the women in his life.
Biographies and accounts of the artist’s life, including the 1996 film Surviving Picasso, have often portrayed him as being a serial philanderer who psychologically mistreated his lovers. The exhibit also highlights the impact Khokhlova had on the history of art. Picasso married her in 1918 at the height of his early experiments with cubism. Picasso and Khokhlova separated when the artist met Marie-Therese Walter in 1927. He remained legally married to Khokhlova until her death in 1955.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS
Striking pacts EFFORTS to reach deals in town and city councils and in regional assemblies continue this week following local and regional elections at the end of this month. In Madrid, mayor Manuela Carmena, a former leftist judge with the Mas Madrid party, had the most council seats but could be ousted by an alliance between rightwing parties. Ciudadanos will likely be the kingmaker and will have to choose between working with the left or the conservative Partido Popular (PP) and far-right Vox. Barcelona’s Acting Mayor Ada Colau, of the cityfocused En Comu, faces having to strike a deal with the insurgent pro-independence Esquerra Republicana de Cataluya (ERC). PSOE faces a more straightforward path to power in Andalucia where it has taken six of eight of its diputacions.
Poll tracker: Partido Socialista (PSOE): 32.8 per cent, 152 seats Partido Popular (PP): 20.1 per cent, 82 seats Ciudadanos: 12.2 per cent, 32 seats Unidos Podemos: 13.3 per cent, 25 seats Result: PSOE largest party, no overall control
By Joe Gerrard SPAIN marked one year since the left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) took power following a successful motion of no confidence, with the party again reaching out to build a majority. PSOE’s Meritxell Batet, the new President of the Congress of Deputies, met with King Felipe on Monday to open talks on reaching a settlement among lawmakers. The two will also seek a path for acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to stay on in the post as per Constitutional arrangements for choosing governments following elections. In echoes of manoeuvres which brought Sanchez and the PSOE to power a year ago, the support of some smaller, regionalist parties will be needed for an absolute majority. PSOE is in a stronger position following the recent rounds of elections which left it the largest party in the Cortes by some margin. The party may be able to rid itself from a dependence on pro-
Power struggle
DEALS: PSOE is seeking a working majority in Congress. Catalan independence groups which effectively brought down his minority government earlier this year. The party’s claim to power is also strengthened by positive EU election results and a broadly successful showing in local and regional elections. Some of the regional groups who helped Sanchez oust his conservative Partido Popular (PP)
predecessor Mariano Rajoy have signalled they will work with him again. The Basque Partido Nacionalista Vasco (PNV) has said it would be willing to support PSOE. But its condition is thought to be that PSOE rules out working with the centrist Ciudadanos, who they see as a threat to their demands for greater self-rule.
This shows that Sanchez and PSOE will have to navigate their way through a tangled web of demands, animosities and rivalries in order to build a working majority. The path looked smoother prior to the May elections when it looked likely that PSOE would strike a deal with the leftist Podemos. But that party’s poor showing in those elections robbed them of their leverage, freeing up PSOE to consider more options. The most straightforward option for Sanchez remains working with Ciudadanos. The two parties have a combined total of 180 seats in Congress, four more than is needed for a majority. But there is little appetite for the pact amongst PSOE members and, as the case of PNV shows, Sanchez would risk alienating other parties.

BREXIT BRIEF Litmus test A NEW pro-leave party is hoping to win its first parliamentary seat as voters go to the polls in the Peterborough by-election today (Thursday June 6). The Brexit Party, led by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, hopes to capitalise on a strong showing at recent European Parliament elections. Labour is hoping to take the seat again after winning it by a slim majority from the Conservatives in 2017. Today’s by-election was called after sitting Labour MP Fiona Onasanya was removed by recall petition. Parties and pundits will be watching the vote closely. It is likely to be taken as a litmus test for whether The Brexit Party can make inroads into national politics. Results from the European Parliament election show about 38 per cent of voters in Peterborough backed Farage’s party. They also backed leave in the 2016 referendum by 61 per cent to 39 per cent. Previous attempts to create a united remain front for the election after talks between the Liberal Democrats, the Green party, Renew and Change UK were inconclusive. That means the remain vote is likely to be split, further benefiting the Brexit Parity in what is likely to become a de facto mini second referendum.
BREXIT EXTRA
Glimpsing the future By Joe Gerrard PARLIAMENTARY wrangling over Brexit has been temporarily put on the back-burner while the ruling Conservatives select their new leader, but proposals from contenders indicate how things could progress. There is currently a crowded field of candidates hoping to bag the party’s top job and the keys to 10 Downing Street. A total of 13 candidates are standing, with all having held some previous ministerial experience. The debate surrounding the race has already been moved in a hard Brexit direction. T h is is la rge ly dow n to the mood among Conservative memb e rs w ho a re by a nd la rge in fav o u r of B rita in le a ving the EU. About 59 per cent of members voted for Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party in recent European Parliament elections, according to a YouGov poll.
CONTENDER: Johnson said he would be prepared to leave without a deal. Those roughly 124,000 members will choose from the two most popular candidates after a series of run-off votes amongst

Conservative MPs. The di scussi on has qui ckl y turned to what is likely to be a red line for many members, the attitude of each candidate towards a no-deal Brexit. Cur r ent f r ont r unner Bor i s Johnson, former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, ex-Leader of the House of Com m ons Andr ea Leadsom and others have said they would be prepared to leave without a deal. I nt er nat i onal Devel opm ent Secretary Rory Stewart was the only candidate to rule that eventuality out, while former Universities Minister Sam Gyimah said he would hold a second referendum. Virtually all the candidates have sai d t hey woul d seek t o renegotiate the draft Withdrawal Deal struck by outgoing leader Theresa May. That means regardless of who wins the outcome of Brexit will be different to that envisioned by May.
US eyes up NHS access THE US’ ambassador to Britain Woody Johnson has said Washington would seek to open Britain’s NHS up to American companies as part of any post-Brexit trade deal leading to opposition figures claiming the health services as effectively up for sale.
No deal call IT would be ‘economic lunacy’ to leave the EU without a deal and Brexit is already leading to EU-based firms abandoning British supply chains, head of the Make UK industry association Stephen Phipson said.

Football club stripper row A FOOTBALL club in Cataluña has sparked a feminist outcry after hiring strippers to celebrate their promotion. Footage of team members from Club Esportiu Llanca partying with the scantilydressed women in their changing room surfaced in Spanish media last week. The club from Girona Province were celebrating their promotion to the Second Catalan Division. Club Secretary Franscesc Romero has apologised to Llanca mayor Pere Vila but said his mistake lay in not asking the town council for
permission to hire the strippers. He said strippers were an ‘original’ way of celebrating the club’s promotion. Pictures and footage showed the women dancing while players cheer them on. On social media, the club has since apologised for the ‘error’ and said it supported tolerance, respect and equality. Cataluña’s Women’s Institute has complained to the club and to the region’s football league. Institute President Nuria Balada said she condemned the use of the women to celebrate.

Barcelona YouTuber ban CHINESE born YouTuber ReSet, real name Kenghua R, has been punished for being at the centre of a video controversy this week after posting a video of feeding a homeless man a rancid cookie filled with toothpaste on the streets of his home town of Barcelona. The Guardia Urbana de Barcelona had denounced the youngster to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for infringing degrading treatment, belittling the dignity and moral integrity of a person at risk of social exclusion. The local authorities located the homeless man after the video gained mass criticism on his YouTube page and found the youngster had tricked him and paid him €20 to eat the cookies. ReSet was sentenced to a five-year ban on social media, which means his YouTube channel will be shut down and he will be forbidden to reopen another. He has also been ordered to pay compensation of €20,00 for ‘moral damage’ and causing ‘physical suffering’ to the homeless man.
G o v e r n m e n t o ff i c i a l s said it would postpone carrying out the exhumation until the case is resolved within the next few months. It had originally been set to go ahead on Monday June 17. Acting Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said: “Reaching the ultimate goal matters more than the road we have to travel.”

Sex assault trial MURCIA’S Provincial Court has jailed a man found guilty of sexually assaulting a friend and recording it on video to eight years in prison. The court heard the defendant stayed at a mutual friend of himself and the victim following a dinner when the assault took place in July 2013. Video footage recorded secretly by the defendant showed the woman saying: ‘I
do not want to’ and showing signs of pain while he forcibly had sex with her. The defendant could also be seen restraining the woman who continued to say ‘no’ as he penetrated her genitalia with his. She also showed pain during the assault. The court heard the defendant had hidden his mobile phone which was recording the assault without the woman’s knowledge. Police officers discovered the footage during a search of the defendant’s home in April 2016 as part of a separate investigation. The discovery led to his arrest and recent trial. The court fined the defendant €3,240 for criminal disclosure. He has also been ordered not to go within 300 metres of the victim.

‘Go away’ tourists TOURISTS in Granada City have been greeted with messages scrawled on the walls of one neighbourhood, including ‘go away.’ Pictures show several messages which appeared on the walls of the Albaicin area of the city. They include: ‘tourist: go away!,’ ‘Granada is not a postcard,’ both written in English, and: ‘Flamenco is not a show!’ written in Spanish. Messages written in English and aimed at tourists have sprung up across the Albaicin area in recent weeks, according to the Bajo Albaicin association.
Police said they are investigating the graffiti but no arrests have been made. Granada City is a popular hotspot for tourists who travel there to visit the Alhambra fortress and other sites. The news comes as a backlash against tourists has grown in parts of Spain including Mallorca and Barcelona in recent years. Anti-tourism campaigners claim the industry damages areas socially and environmentally and pushes up costs for residents. Industry figures and others argue it brings jobs and investment to areas popular with tourists.

employee must have placed it there. He handed over the camera to investigators who analysed its recordings, stored on a memory card, and found footage of five different women. In one video, a man is allegedly shown installing the camera using a can of glue.

AFTER TRIALS: Announcing the availability of the drug.
New cancer drug AN announcement has been made by the Spanish arm of drug company Eli Lilly that it is now able to offer an oral drug in Spain which helps extend the life expectancy of patients suffering from metastatic breast cancer. This is a relatively uncommon form of cancer as it is estimated that of the 30,000 diagnosed with breast cancer each year, just 8 per
cent (2,400) suffer from the metastatic type. In announcing the introduction of this drug abemaciclib (marketed under the trade name Verzenios) a team of oncology specialists from the Gregorio Marañón General Hospital as well as a representative of the pharmaceutical company explained its benefits following trials which
have lasted more than 15 years. For this type of cancer, patients who had relapsed were previously given hormone treatment which tended to be effective for about a year but then lost potency. This new drug however has been seen to work for an average of 28.2 months before resistance occurs and there are very few adverse side effects.

FURY: The Vox member was accused of offending Spain’s LGBTQ community. BAN VIEWS: Eight out of 10 Spaniards are in favour of banning smoking in cars with children.
Smoking attitudes THE results of a recent study carried out by the Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII) as part of World No Tobacco Day, May 31, show that one in five pregnant women in Spain smoke. The study showed that in 2016, 20.4 per cent of pregnant women smoked, compared to 14.3 per cent in 1980. Also, the percentage was higher in pregnant women under the age of 30 and in those with a lower education level. According to ISCIII, one in four Spanish people smoke and 20 per cent of the population considers that tobacco is not harmful to their health.
It comes as a survey carried out by the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC) found eight out of 10 Spanish people are in favour of banning smoking in cars with children. Of those surveyed, 16 per cent are daily smokers, 33 per cent former smokers and 43 per cent non smokers. SemFYC claimed that in recent years, even though people are not worrying as much about the effects smoking can have on their health, the public acceptance of new rules to stop tobacco consumption has increased.

I would prefer that if my son is homosexual he would not adopt.” Sarrion Pablo Lopez, a high-profile supporter of Ciudadanos, said on Twitter: ‘I imagine that in her years of being a practising paediatrician she never ran into children with parents of the same sex.

love can help with anything (even her homophobia).’” ‘This is called homophobia. It is clear you prefer to defend your party rather than standing up against homophobia,’ another user Reyes Taranto said. Vox has yet to comment on Joya’s remarks, but party leader Santiago Abascal previously said there was no homophobia in the party and added it has several LGBTQ members.

When the doctor informed the immediate family of the tragic news the father reacted by punching the wall and hitting the furniture and nearby flowerpots. At the same time the man verbally attacked the doctor, repeatedly threatening to kill him and blaming him for his daughter’s death. The doctor reported the incident to police. Officers arrested the father a few days later, reporting they had waited until after the child’s funeral and to “as much as possible” allow the family some time to come to terms with their loss.

ACCESS DENIED: Puigdemont was refused entry to the European Parliament (file photo).
Access denied By Joe Gerrard THE European Parliament has refused to give a provisional pass to the former president of Cataluña after being elected as an MEP. Carles Puidgemont, of the pro-independence Junts per Cataluyna, arrived at the parliament in Brussels to collect his pass last week. He was reportedly refused
entry after three Spanish parties asked the European Parliament not to issue passes for MEPs until they had formally taken office in Spain. Puigdemont said he and pro-independence figures would not allow themselves and their supports to be ignored. “We won the elections in Cataluña but the ‘democratic’ general secretary of the Euro-
pean Parliament considers that our voters are less respectable than the rest,” he said. An arrest warrant for sedition and rebellion remains active in Spain for Puigdemont over the 2017 independence push, meaning he would be detained if he returned. The former Catalan president fled Spain shortly after the warrant was issued in October last year.

If you are planning on living in Spain on a permanent basis, it’s a good idea to have a Spanish driving licence - in fact it is mandatory after a while. Here are some guidelines for current and new drivers on how to do this quickly and easily. If you already have a valid EU (European Union) Community or an EEA (European Economic Area) driving licence and meet the minimum driving age in Spain, you can use it for the first two years of residence in Spain, although you must register your details with the traffic authorities after six months. You can register at your Central Register of Drivers and Minor Offenders of the Provincial Traffic Headquarters. If you don’t obtain a Spanish driver’s licence after two years of residence in Spain and are caught driving, you can face a fine of around €200. Visit: www.dgt.es to find out more. Once the process is under way, you will have to adhere to the same conditions as Spanish licence holders: Have reached minimum age in Spain for the specific category of vehicle you want to drive, Relevant medical checks, Renew or exchange the licence after the first two years’ residence in Spain. If an EU licence is renewed in Spain it effectively converts it into a Spanish EU licence, which then needs to be renewed every 10 years up to the age of 65, and every five years after 65. The new regulation which requires new residents to exchange their licences for a Spanish one, was enforced three years ago. As such, Spain has agreements with more than 20 countries, allowing drivers to exchange a foreign driver’s licence for its equivalent. To find out more, check with your home country’s consulate in Spain or the Spanish Traffic Authority at www.sede.dgt.gob.es. To exchange your licence, you will need to fill out an application form that is issued by the Provincial Traffic Headquarters. (See the above website). The following documents will be required: Proof of identity (original passport and a copy), Proof of your residence for six months (Certificate of Registration in the Central Aliens Register - the NIE number), Application form (in Spanish), Current valid driving licence to be exchanged (original and a copy), Written declaration stating that you don’t have another driving licence of the same class in another country, Written declaration stating that you have not been suspended or banned, Two recent passport size photographs (32 by 25 mm), Medical fitness report (visit the DGT website for information). For new drivers, check the legal driving ages and permit types before you register. You can get details depending on what type of vehicle you want to drive by visiting: English-driving-school.com. The best option (for new drivers) is to go to a driving school as they take care of the registration process with the Jefatura (Jefatura Provincial de Trafico) on your behalf. Once you have registered, get your medical and vision test done, too. Theory tests can be done in a classroom or be computer based. The written test is normally taken in Spanish, but some places offer it in English. For more information, visit http://www.autoescuelacorsa.com. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Child’s life saving transplant EGYPTIAN Naila Avilés Coveña is expected to be heading to Spain to undergo a lifesaving bone marrow transplant. Naila was diagnosed with the cancer of the blood leukaemia and after a long battle with chemotherapy is now in the process of organising a final attempt to cure the disease. Fundraising attempts have been successful in covering the costs of the transplant through organisations such as FELL and FANO. Telethons and online fundraising have allowed the family to also purchase the tickets to travel. They now await visa applications and the final documents allowing them to travel. Naila’s uncle Edwin Coveña is eager for his niece to attempt the surgery. He said “she recovers (sometimes), but the chemotherapy is killing her because it damages her good cells and they told us that she needs a bone marrow transplant.” Now, their families need the economic resources to cover the expenses of the stay between one and two years in Spain for the child and her mother Cecibel Coveña.
NAILA AVILÉS COVEÑA: Is suffering from the effects of the chemotherapy.
‘Game of death’ SPANISH police are warning parents to watch out for a potentially lethal ‘game of death’ spotted in schools. Youngsters are taping scenes where one child is pounced on from behind and strangled until they apparently lose consciousness. The video is then posted and shared on social media. Now Granada Local Police have sent one offending video to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Minors. In it a group of children from a school in the Andalucian city practises the game. Police sources say they are investigating to identify and take statements from the children involved to determine if they took part in it voluntarily. Sources from the National Police say this game involves a high level of risk and want to raise awareness of the ‘serious consequences’ it can cause, including death. Granada Local Police on Tuesday posted on its Twitter account to ask parents to check their children’s mobile phones.

VENOMOUS: Chilean Recluse’s (inset) bite is highly toxic.
Danger spider By Dilip Kuner A MAN was hospitalised for 10 days after being bitten by a spider whose venom is 15 times more toxic than that of a cobra. Manuel Gil from Elda, Alicante, sought medical help after he was bitten and the wound became infected. Although he has now returned home, he still has necrosis in his leg and may face an operation if antibiotics fail to solve the problem. A couple from Sax and a woman from Elda have also needed medical attention after being bitten by a Chilean Recluse spider, known in Spain as brown or corner spiders. One of the women, Miranda Navarro, has been attending a health centre for a month and a half to have her bite treated and prevent it from becoming infected.

Reptile ring smashed TWELVE arrests - six in Spain - have been made in a massive international operation against the illegal trade in reptiles. Operation Blizzard, coordinated by Europol and INTERPOL, involved agencies from 22 countries and led to seizures ranging from live animals to high-end fashion products. The operational activities targeted aircraft passengers, commercial cargo, pet shops and those legally allowed to keep reptiles. Almost 1,500 live snakes, lizards and geckos were seized from right across Europe. The inspections led to the arrests, with the other six held in Italy. Globally, operation Blizzard resulted in the seizure of 4,419 live animals including 2,703 turtles and tortoises, 1,059 snakes, 512 lizards and geckos and 20 crocodiles and alligators. Investigators also seized 152 handbags, wallets, watchstraps, medicines and taxidermies derived from reptiles.

Divine calling CREDIT: Mijas Foreign Residents Department
A CANADIAN pastor has visited La Cala de Mijas after claiming to hear the town’s name spoken to him. Pastor Dale woke up at around 4am about 18 months ago when he heard the words ‘La Cala.’ The Christian preacher believed the words were a divine calling, according to Mijas’ Foreigners Department who received him along with a local church. Pastor Dave, of Calahonda Church, Mijas Costa, said he had been praying for ways to improve the local Christian community before Pastor Dale’s visit. “It seems God knows about La Cala,” Pastor Dave said. Pastor Dale contacted the Ark Christian Fellowship, an international organisation for believers of the religion.

Health and weight loss with Ivan Dimitrov MY name is Ivan Dimitrov, I have played various sports since I was 10 years old. I’ve spent the last 10 years of my life helping many people improve their health and lose weight with exercise and nutrition. People who are overweight typically have high cholesterol and blood sugar levels and slow metabolism. All of this is caused by bad diet and lack of exercise. In this article I will deal with one of the most important health routines: detoxing. Many have seen the word but few understand its meaning or importance. Modern lifestyles are made up of harmful habits. We eat processed foods and raw food is full of hormones, pesticides and countless other poisons. The same applies to the water and air in our cities. On top of this there is alcohol, cigarettes and all kinds of and drugs and
synthetic food supplements. A few warning signs your body is becoming unhealthy include: Swelling of the abdomen, gas and constipation; A constant sense of fatigue and weight; Hormonal imbalance; Joint and tendon pains and muscular weakness; Headaches, nausea; Often ill; Accumulated fat in the abdomen; Skin problems, brittle nails and hair; An appetite for harmful food; Irritability and frequent mood swings. And these are just the warning signs that the body is poisoned. If we do not take action then health problems get worse because the metabolism and the immune system of a poisoned body does not work properly.
DETOX: Eat healthy to stay healthy. The good news is these problems can be avoided by a few lifestyle changes. We have to cut down on toxic foods, drinks and drugs. And we have to replace them with clean food and drink. Some clean foods to try: Ginger; Curcuma; Lemon, lime, grapefruit, apples and other fruits; Coriander, parsley, peppermint and almost all herbs; Garlic and onions; Spinach, kale, and all green leafy vegetables; Avocado; Beet; Asparagus; Sweet potato. All these foods are full of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and
fibres which the body needs to stay healthy. They help to eliminate toxins from the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs and blood. They boost the immune system and metabolism, fight inflammation, balance blood sugar (and fight diabetes) and lower cholesterol, improve digestion, lower blood pressure, improve the health of the heart, are highly alkalizing (which helps fight cancer) and boost brain health and memory. In short they help the body to work normally and healthily. With my friends from Star Marbella, we have a detoxification programme and a healthy menu for anyone who has no time to prepare healthy food at home.

Olive oil prices slide AN estimated 5,000 olive growers took to the streets of Jaen to protest at the drop in the price of olive oil which has wiped up to €1 billion from national income this year alone. Whilst the demonstration was peaceful organisers insist that this is the start of a major campaign aimed at encouraging both the government and the European Union to put into
place safeguards so that the producers of the oil will receive a reasonable return for the amount of work that they undertake. There is no obvious reason for a drop of up to 30 per cent in the price producers receive and cries of ‘robbery’ and ‘thieves’ were heard during the demonstration which took place outside of the Government Sub-Delegation building.

Union on bank wage attitude
‘Not ready’ for next crisis A FORMER senior economic analyst at Spain’s central bank has said the country is ill-equipped to face another crisis like the one which struck the world in 2008. Former Bank of Spain Studies Director Jose Luis Malo de Molina said imbalances and risks were not addressed following the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession. “We are not prepared to absorb shocks like those seen in 2008. What happened during the crisis can happen again,” Malo de Molina said. The economist was speaking at the launch of his book ‘A Macroeconomic
By Joe Gerrard Vision of the 50 years of the Spanish Constitution.’ He said Spain’s productivity gap and the instability of its public finances were among factors which could make it difficult for the country to handle another economic crisis. Labour market problems including job precariousness and workers being underemployed was the ‘most worrying aspect’ of the current economic situation, Malo de Molina added. Acting Economy Minister Nadia Calviño also attended the launch of the book. She said economic reforms were
needed now while outlook remains positive. “You have to repair the roof while the sun is shining,” Calviño said. Calviño also commented on recent remarks from the Bank of Spain about the lack of savings among Spanish families. “If they cannot survive on their pay until the end of the month then they cannot save,” the minister said. It comes as central bank governor Pablo Hernandez de Cos said whichever parties take power following recent elections needed to face economic challenges promptly and decisively.
A TRADE UNION has accused Spain’s central bank of having an ‘unhealthy obession’ with the economic consequences of a planned minimum wage hike.

It comes as the central bank said in a report that it could not rule out job losses in the event the increase goes ahead. The wage rise was first floated in government budget plans.

Euro EUR/GBP: Up from £0.84 to £0.87 EUR/USD: Down from $1.12 to $1.11 The euro has spent the last month edging higher against a struggling pound but failing to exert itself against the US dollar. The news that the European Commission had slashed its growth forecasts for two of the largest economies in the Eurozone (Germany and Italy) applied some pressure to EUR/USD, as did the expectation that the European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to keep monetary policy accommodative for the foreseeable future. However, EUR rates were then boosted by the news that the White House would delay tariffs on all car imports by at least six months. The outcome of the EU elec-

EUR/GBP up three pence, pound struggles
EXCHANGE RATES: The outcome of the EU elections could have an impact. tions could have an impact on EUR exchange rates as the month draws to a close. Pound GBP/EUR: Down from €1.15 to €1.13 GBP/USD: Down from $1.29 to $1.27 The last couple of weeks haven’t been kind to the pound,
with the British currency sliding against peers like the euro and US dollar in response to the collapse of cross-party Brexit talks. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn indicated that talks had gone as far as they could and that striking a deal is impossible amid the ‘increasing weakness and instability’ of the government.
All the ongoing Brexit uncertainty meant the pound was unable to benefit from Bank of England (BoE) Governor Mark Carney asserting that interest rates are likely to rise faster than investors expect. MPs are currently set to vote on the withdrawal bill in early June, and it was reported that if Mrs

May’s plan is defeated again, the UK will either be set for a no-deal or for Article 50 to be revoked. May has also implied that she will set out a timetable for her resignation next month. Such upheaval could send the pound lower in the weeks ahead. With so much Brexit news on the horizon, UK data releases are unlikely to have much impact on the pound. US Dollar USD/GBP: Up from £0.76 to £0.78 USD/EUR: Up from €0.88 to €0.89 Concerns that the US/China trade war is escalating has reduced demand for higher-risk assets in the last few weeks - boosting the US dollar in the process. An article from Chinese media stated: ‘If there is no real concrete action by the United States, it will be meaningless for you to come and talk. It is better to suspend the consultation completely and return to the normal working track.’ Trade concerns may continue driving USD movement in the near-term.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WHY is it that when anyone in the public eye decides to comment on issues of immigration and the effect it is having on Europe and its culture, they are immediately vilified by the politicians, media and a small number of snowflakes, but praised to the roof by the majority of the concerned local populace? Last week John Cleese was the latest shining example. Don’t get me wrong, I have not been too impressed with this man and his antics over the last few years, (although I adored Fawlty Towers!) But when he stated publicly that London was ‘not English any more,’ the ‘likes’ and concurring comments posted on social media were numbered in their thousands. However, with their usual monotonous regularity, the ‘Good Morning’ and other media discussion outlets, (with their, oh so carefully selected panelists!) went out of their way to argue a case to the contrary. He was accused of racism (Natch) being unpatriotic, disliking black people, Islamophobia and just about anything else designed to stifle the free speech of anyone who dares to speak out against what actually is, so obviously, manifesting across the whole of Europe. Well, I’m sure it comes as no surprise to most of you, that I am one of the untold thousands of beleaguered and vilified ‘ordinary’ public that is in wholehearted agreement with his remarks.
FEATURE
Not English any more?
LONDON: Has it changed beyond recognition over the years? London isn’t English any more. It is a simple statement of fact. Frankly anyone who thinks otherwise, has either not been there, or walks around with a sack over their head. Over the last 30 years, this great city has
changed almost beyond all recognition. Large areas do truly resemble the Middle East. Often, when taking public transport, you can travel the whole journey without hearing the English language spoken once. When I was a young man
growing up in London, the only Burkas on show were worn by the wives of visiting Saudi Sheiks and Royalty escaping from Ramadan by travelling to the UK (where no one had even heard of it!) and wandering around Harrods and Hatton Garden, handbags stuffed with untold thousands, while their husbands wagered fortunes in the gambling clubs of the West End. These days, in many areas, you’d be hard pressed to find a female whose apparel didn’t cover her from head to foot. The point I am trying to make here is that it is glaringly obvious that London, and many other European cities, are not so culturally indigenous any more. Whether this is a good, or a bad thing is irrelevant. When the usual predictable lot emerge from the shadows, raising any objection they can think of to stifle one iota of reasonable discussion on the subject, methinks that many do protest far too much. Let them remember, that although many would prefer to turn our great societies into one of the suppressed countries of the Middle or Far East, freedom of speech is still at the very heart of our English heritage. It’s what our ancestors fought and died for. Woe betides those who seek to either erode or change this basic British right of existence. It will not sit well!

The largest vape shop around COSTA VAPOR, the largest vaping shop on the Costa del Sol, sells only the best quality products, original brands; products that are functional, practical, easy to use and work. Their batteries, chargers and all electronic devices have a three-month guarantee, while their knowledgeable and dedicated team speak Spanish, English and Finnish. Their great group of customer care specialists vape themselves and (some who have quit smoking) are on hand to offer advice depending on your needs; whether you hope to quit smoking, want to reduce nicotine or have moved to vaping just because you like it with the choice of so many exquisite flavours. Costa Vapor like to look after their customers, offering special deals on one liquid line each week and their loyalty card, gives a stamp for every â‚Ź10 spent so that once you have 10 stamps you will receive â‚Ź10 to spend in store. E-cigarettes have been credited by some as the ideal alternative for those smokers who find it hard to totally kick the habit of reaching for their cigarette. This concept
COSTA VAPOR: A huge variety at great prices. has taken many countries by storm and now smokers can enjoy the sensation of smoking without the underlying dangers. Their new shop boasts that it offers the largest selection of e-cigarettes on the Costa del Sol with more than 300 different flavours of vapour to choose from and once a month the company also offers special
deals from within its product range, including liquids, batteries, and vapes. Teemu Laitinen, owner of the company arrived from Finland four years ago, and began working at the store. Instead of going home at the end of summer as planned, Teemu had such passion for his job he decided to stay and began to take on more
and more responsibility until the shop’s previous owner eventually moved back to Finland and Teemu took over completely. Since then Costa Vapor has found that the demand has been so great that it can now offer very competitive prices to its clients, due to the wide range that it carries. There are also many special offers and starter kits to help beginners choose the correct product, as well as many models and sizes that will fit your pocket both economically and physically, so it is worth browsing in store. To make the experience of buying liquids or accessories even easier, Costa Vapor will also be offering customers an online shopping experience later this year, but you can currently follow them on Facebook and Instagram. To see the wide range of products instore visit Costa Vapor, Avenida Ramon y Cajal, 17, Fuengirola, 29640 which is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 9pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm. Alternatively, call 951 813 388 to speak to one of their team.

Sleep well on Swedish perfection IN the Hans Christian Andersen story of the Princess and the Pea, she proved her heritage by feeling discomfort from just a single pea under her mattress. This would not have been possible if she had owned a bed made by the number one name in slumber, Swedish manufacturer Hästens which started business in 1852. So successful has this family business been that now six generations on, it is a by-word in sleeping comfort and its beds are the number one choice of the Swedish Royal Family. From what were relatively humble beginnings, the company has grown and expanded to export perfect beds and mattresses all over the world and you can obtain the bed of your dreams from Bdhome located in the centre of Marbella which has a huge stock of all things Hästens. Each bed is handmade and they use only ethically-sourced sustainable resources and natural materials to
FEEL GOOD: Drop off to sleep in a Hästens bed. craft a Hästens bed. The purest flax, wool and cotton, slow-grown Swedish pine and genuine hypoallergenic horsehair are all part of the painstaking process involved in making each section of the bed and mattress. Enter the store in Marbella and you
will see a wonderful selection of bases, mattresses, toppers, duvets, bed covers, linen and headboards and unlike many other manufacturers, you can have a choice of different mattress colours as well as a choice of legs, depending on the height at which you are most
comfortable for sleeping. It is perfectly possible to purchase a stock item and this can not only be delivered quickly, but Bdhome will also be happy to take your old bed and mattress away. The company recognises that everyone is a different shape or size
and can custom make your bed to your exact specifications with different springs on each side and generally it will be delivered in less than six weeks from placing of order. It’s not just comfort, but a lot of thought has gone into design with a number of well-respected designers being commissioned to make beds that look fantastic and there is also a new bed linen collection available to dress the bed. A visit to Bdhome situated at Ramiro Campos Turmo, Edif Atlanta, local 6, Marbella (Tel 952 861 122) which is open Monday to Friday 10am to 1.30pm and 4.30pm to 8pm as well as Saturday 10.30am to 2pm is strongly recommended so that you can experience for yourself the comfort and range of Hästens products available. Their experts in store will be happy to explain all of the benefits of the various options and help you design the perfect bed which will look and feel good in your property.

M a n u e l a C a r m en a an d M as Madrid were the most-voted in the municipal elections but the PP wi l l h a v e n o c o mp u n ctio n abo u t t e a m i n g u p w ith Ciu dadanos to get into city hall, despite the bile on both sides during both elections. A n d t h e PP wi l l h a v e e v en fewer qualms about getting into bed with Vox which is so far to the Right that it’s out of sight this side of democracy. The Madrid Community should have gone to the Left, too, where Mas Madrid and Iñigo Errejon were the most-voted b u t t h e y w o n ’t h a v e a c h a n c e thanks to the Andalucia threesome. Neither result is PP victory, they were Mas Madrid defeats.

Victory by default Leading by example PEDRO SANCHEZ and François Macron intend to attempt what, in the best of all possible worlds, should happen in Spain. Although Sanchez is a socialist and Macron a liberal, they hope to join forces to prevent the European People’s Party - the Partido
Popular to you and me - from taking over the European Commission. With 20 seats, the Spanish PSOE has more than any other socialist party in the European Parliament and the same goes for Macron’s 21 Renaissance seats. After 15 years of conservative domination, they want socialists and liberals to introduce a more progressive U agenda.
And all the while, Sanchez will be looking over his shoulder at Albert Rivera and Ciudadanos as if to say, ‘See, this is the way to do it.’
No consolation prizes PROBABLY the biggest loser in the local and regional elec-

tions was the Podemos supremo Pablo Iglesias. Podemos lost seats everywhere and instead of tipping the balance to the Left on councils and regional governments, in many cases it is handing that privilege to Vox. Predictably, Iglesias continues to believe that he could, and should, occupy a seat in a future PSOE government in return for his 42 parliamentary seats. His reasons are nebulous, but his motives are as obvious as his sense of entitlement.
Time to go SAD to say, although it’s no surprise, Juan Carlos I’s time is up. He will no longer take part in public life, he announced. And quite right too. He was what Spain needed in 1975 after Franco died when he, Fernando Alvarez de Miranda, Adolfo Suarez and a few others piloted Spain into the safe haven of democracy. He was what Spain needed when he pulled rank on military plotters and defused the attempted coup of February 23, 1981. But his usefulness is at an end and at 81 the Bourbon king can lead a peaceful life hunting - elephants (possibly) included - with afternoons at the bullring and, who knows, the company of someone not his wife. But Juan Carlos’s time is up and, always aware of what is needed, he knows he has nothing left to contribute and it’s time to go.
STEPPING DOWN: Juan Carlos retired from public life this week.

Hidden side of rental contracts
CONSULAR MATTERS JENS, my friend Peter’s brother, wants to come to live in Spain because after many years of hard work in a well-known supermarket in Copenhagen, he wants to have a warm retirement on our Costa Del Sol. Many of the foreigners who come to live in Spain decide to rent a house to establish their permanent residence, either because they prefer to rent and save their money or they want to spend some time and get to know the area before buying a property. Peter has instructed me to draft the rental contract because he has heard that during the last year the law relating to housing rental contract law has undergone what can only be described as roller coaster changes involving three new regulations in about four months. Since March 6, 2019 we have had a new regulation whose most important changes are also the least known, well at least by the tenants. The new law gives rights in favour of tenants who sign a lease after that date for their permanent residence.
RENTAL CONTRACT: The law has undergone roller coaster changes. The first of this new regulation is that the law itself imposes on the landlord a minimum contract term of five years if the tenant so wishes. It is a right for tenants and an obligation for owners. Once the five-year contract has been completed, the
lease can be renewed for another three years if the tenant so wishes and notifies the landlord within the legally established time frame and in the event that the landlord has not reported the said contract extension. It also establishes the new word-
Just one of my grumps Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man HERE’S one for you - I recently went to a function and during the evening I was offered the chance to buy some raffle tickets. There were three prizes. A week’s holiday was the first prize; the second was a meal at a posh restaurant and the third a case of nice wine. The tickets were not particularly cheap but then the prizes were OK and it was a good cause. But I had to ask my normal question which is what prize comes out first? She popped off for a second and then said, “its the normal way - third, second, first.” I then told her that’s the wrong way of doing it because everybody enters the raffle to have a chance of winning the first prize and if you draw the third prize first that cannot happen. She said, “But that’s the way we always do it.” It may well be and it’s always wrong. She then told me this is done to make it more exciting and to keep the suspense up. Look, it’s OK if you are buying a ticket for a euro I guess and there are
loads of prizes and whoever wins just chooses what they fancy. But, if you think about it, even that way is better because the first winner out has a choice of everything on offer don’t they? Therefore getting the first prize first. This is just one of my grumps which is about a point of principle. What’s right is right isn’t it? One way to accommodate my type of complaint, yet keep the suspense factor, is to draw the tickets first, then announce them in reverse order. If you do this, be sure that the tickets cannot be switched or you will likely receive complaints. I still bought a couple of tickets, they still did it their way and I won sweet fanny adams as usual. Felon turned doomsday prophet, Jim Bakker, is selling ‘Donald Trump’ coins which he promises have special spiritual power. This guy is an ex-convict, accused rapist and TV evangelist. What he is claiming is that when believers hold the coin with Trump’s face, they are somehow magically united in prayer with everyone else and that creates a greater ‘point of contact’ with God. Idolatry, anybody? For the low, low price of $45 all this shameless superstition is all yours! God bless America!!

ing of the law that the annual increase in rent being paid can only be increased according to the official index standard of living (IPC) published by the INE (Spanish National Institute of Statistics). This index will operate as a maxi-
mum limit; therefore the rent being paid cannot be raised beyond the increase of said IPC. The intention of this law is to give some stability to tenants so that they can settle in a house with certain guarantees of permanence, but it is also true that this extension of the mandatory term of the lease and the limit that the law has put on raising the rent could cause landlords to think twice before renting their home and this could lead to a decrease in the number of houses available for permanent rental in our area where holiday rentals can be very attractive. We will have to wait a bit to see how this new regulation affects a seasonal market. These measures do not apply to leases of holiday homes, rural homes for farms or luxury homes, among others that are governed by other rules, but it is not Jens’ intention to rent one of these homes.

THE quiet dignity shown by Larry the cat on the doorstep of No 10 prior to Theresa May’s resignation speech is what I would wish for in the next prime minister. Before Theresa May could make the farewell speech, the stage first had to be made catfree. For 30 minutes, Larry the Downing Street mouser had sat on the doorstep, his back turned scornfully against the media as if to say: ‘What purrpuss do you serve? Are you fur real?’ before the door swung open and he was ushered inside. Theresa May led the Conservative party to a precipice; now that party is in danger of toppling over the edge. Its next leader has an unenviable task ahead. Bringing the party together will be as difficult as the Brexit negotiations, and the outcome just as unpredictable. Currently, everyone’s running in a selfindulgent leadership beauty parade. It’d be far easier if we had a list of MPs who AREN’T standing as candidates, it’d save time and space. And we can’t rule out the possibility Theresa May misreads the mood (again) and throws her hat into the ring. And heaven help us if Failing

LARRY THE CAT: He’s been through a lot in Downing Street. Grayling - Theresa May’s former campaign manager, overseeing a project that descended into chaos, delays, and ended in tears - should join the leadership scrum and win, it’d finish off the Tories
(and the country) for good. The old saying goes: ‘We get the police force we deserve.’ Well, we seem to be getting the prime ministers we deserve: spineless, two-faced, hypocritical, philanderers (Boris, not Theresa), misguided, targetless, frightened of their shadows (Theresa May again proving the point it’s possible to do an impossible job badly. And she did). It’s really hard to decide who exactly is the worst candidate: it’s such a crowded field. A deeply shallow pool full of the ruthless toothless. We’re simply spoilt for choice! In conclusion, I propose a knighthood for Larry the cat! He’s had to put up with so much, the poor thing must be so confused by the ever-changing personnel in his home...

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they change their deed? Three years ago we bought a semi-detached villa in a community. The property is in fact bigger than our title deed says. We had a survey done and it shows that our property is 80 square metres bigger than the registered size. We would like to legalise this difference. It seems that we need a certificate from the community to show that no members oppose the change. When we asked the community administrator about this, he said it would be better if we do not do anything, just let it be. Or we have to wait 25 years. This does not make sense. M C (Costa del Sol)
To m a k e a David Searl change in a You and the Law property registration is in Spain a serious legal matter. Yo u w a n t t o o b t a i n a declaration of exceso de cabida, to ‘legalise’ your extra metres. It works like this: you go to the Notary with your survey and the Notary will then notify your neighbours, the co-lindantes, to appear and declare they are not opposed to the change. After 25 years no one can object in any case. You will need a lawyer for this and there will be expenses.

Nick Horne’s Morning Read Freelance correspondent, London, England VISITING Paris recently I was struck very nearly on several occasions by fast moving electric scooters. One in particular was bouncing across the cobbles on Place Vendome, the pilot clutching a large bag branded with a high end company’s logo. I did detect a chuckle emerging from my throat as I watched the jowls of this ardent shopper bouncing in counterpoint to the rest of his body as he made his way cross the cobbled square, the bag and its undoubtedly costly cargo waving to and fro. Later having had a slow and puzzled look at the Mona Lisa. Why does everyone who visits the Musee de Louvre in Paris have to tick that off the bucket list? Though we did too and rushed to the gallery itself and did so ahead of the crush. We then proceeded on to check in on the Venus de Milo and of course the Deity Athena dressed for war. As exhaustion, hunger and lunch was near I sat in a window seat in the Sully portion of the Palace and looking out across the enclosed courtyard spied an abandoned scooter. Alone in the midst of the vast courtyard the pilot stepped off and was nowhere to be seen in all of the lonely space. Over lunch we chatted mainly about the contents of the Musee de Louvre as well as the building itself, its facilities and the many art-
COURTYARD: The Sully Wing of the Musee de Louvre. works it contained and displayed. What we had seen and felt, but readily agreed was that the swarms of scooters were the very thing. The scooters are racing down the boulevards as well as the many back streets and the many principal avenues. It had dawned on us that a phenomenon unknown to London was sweeping the French capital. Scooters. Through and past the generally slow moving traffic these individuals, as well as smiling and embracing couples, were carving through to their destination with an air and grace barring of course the pilot with the shopping bag! Powered by battery and very workman-like in outline, yet vivacious when speeding at a far greater rate than a fast walk, its electric motor spinning and whining. Yet when left carelessly
by the roadside somewhat forlorn and lacking any style at all. Dented, scratched and grey the only colour the red and white LED lens fore and aft. The small wheels defy the cobbles and race across the tarmac roads of the city, the plank of a platform the spindly shaft of the steering column all lend a precarious air to the enterprise of travel. Yet there they are and I have no doubt are here to stay in Paris and spread, quite possibly worldwide. The scooters we saw in Paris were work a day implements, no doubt conforming to whatever regulations if any that pertain to this excit-
ing new transport phenomenon. It occurred to me it could not be long before an Important Brand would step into this space and lay claim and association to the coolest transport mode since the Mini MOKE. I have not had to wait very long. BMW have just announced their EScooter to launch in the autumn 2019. In cooperation with the Micro Mobility Systems AG. They say that their BMW E-Scooter will have a range of 12 kilometres and a top speed of 20 km/h. Two separate braking systems, front and rear lights, a space saving design that will allow it to be folded up and weighs in at just nine kilos including the battery. The 150 watt motor and lithium ion battery slip out of sight into the footplate and rear wheel. Taking two hours to fully charge it can be parked away neatly in space saving style on its integrated kickstand. Crucially of course this EScooter will also boast the classical blue BMW propeller logo! When you are asked what do you drive? ‘BMW,’ may well be the answer, even for the greenest most ecological.

TO the Editor My friend was booked on to a low cost flight from Corvera to Leed’s Bradford on Friday, May 31 in the evening. After boarding, a technical fault meant the flight would be delayed, so they were disembarked and the baggage offloaded. They were informed that because the airport closed early on Fridays and Saturdays there would not be sufficient time to do the repair to meet the the closure time, and because of this the replacement aircraft would have to fly into Alicante. This meant they would not get to Leeds until the early hours of Saturday morning. I think I have my facts correct, and if so what a cowboy, village airstrip this herd of white elephants, this whole ill thought out, ego boosting money gobbling disaster has turned out to be. Derek Fearon
How’s it Leapy I APPLAUD your article on South Africa (Issue 1769). My wife and I were fortunate to have left SA two years ago and with me being UK born were welcomed into this lovely country we now live in. When I tell people about the life conditions in SA they look at me as if I’m talking gobbledy gook. The amount of farm murders, the couple who ran out of petrol last week who were shot dead for a mobile phone, SA has more road deaths over Christmas than the UK has for a whole year, the amount of unlicensed firearms, it’s worse than a war zone and nobody cares. Apartheid was started by a very short sighted man but what there is now, is Apartheid in reverse in a far worse state where you are forced to employ indigenous people, forced to have them in managerial positions, to have them as majority partners in your business and to have them in all sporting teams regardless of the consequences and or qualifications, you cannot employ the best qualified person, your business is allocated points for employment of black people, employment of coloured, Indian or whites gets you no points, not enough points no government or municipal work at all. I salute you for bringing some of the plight of all South Africans and Zimbabwians regardless of race or creed to light, it is the greedy ministers to blame. I loved the countries of my upbringing and do not condone racism in any form. Tony Potts

Flight chaos SUMMER ALERT DEAR Ed In my youth it was the first cuckoo of summer that announced the season had arrived and this memorable event was even announced in The Times newspaper! But here in Spain, things are different so I have been looking for a different sign to announce when summer arrives. Perhaps it would be the first French Air Traffic Controllers strike, but then I realised that they go on strike all year round. Then I thought it could be the sound of the first tourists arriving, but in certain places, they are

NEWS that anti-tourist graffiti appeared on the walls of Granada City last week has reignited the debate over the effects of an economically vital industry on Spanish locals. Spain’s tourism sector is the third largest contributor to the overall economy, accounting for about 10 per cent of total output (Gross Domestic Product, GDP) according to government figures. The industry is responsible for developing large swathes of the country’s Mediterranean coastline which expatriates now call home, as pictures of Benidorm from the 1950s and 1960s illustrate. Cities such as Granada also draw a hefty dividend from tourists who spend their money in local shops, bars and restaurants, benefiting the wider economy. The traffic of travellers into Spain has also helped to build bonds across borders and break down misconceptions held by tourists and locals about each other and their countries. But as with all aspects of the economy, the gains are seldom shared equally and the price of success for some is suffering for others. The Canary and Balearic islands are both home to anti-tourism movements who argue the industry has led to overdevelopment, harming their homes and the environment. In Barcelona the rise of holiday rentals has seen residents priced or even turfed out of neighbourhoods where they grew up because of the lure of profits from tourism. If tensions are to be eased then the benefits from the industry must be more widely shared and the impact on locals reduced.

Anti-tourist graffiti appears in Granada I live in a simple flat in a tourist hotspot on Mallorca. The residents pay their rents and feed their families because of doing business with the people visiting their small city. Only very few residents are against tourists. Typically those who hate foreigners in general. But, as I said, they are very few in number. Property prices in certain Spanish areas are not surging because of tourism, but because of big companies and rich individuals who are buying up property for investment purposes. This property buyout happens all over Europe at the moment. Alexander R

TIME OUT
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) In your heart of hearts you know what you want out of life. It is a little timidity of spirit that is now stopping you. I know that recent experiences have sapped your confidence, but I have a message for you. Now is the time that you are most likely to make progress in your chosen field.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Let others whinge if they will. Being determined to get your own way, they will stand little chance. Recent disagreements have left a sour taste. In the best of worlds, things will not always go your way. Life would be boring if that were the case.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Awkward situations usually bring out the best in you and this week proves that. In the longer term, you will be grateful to those making things difficult now.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Be determined not to be intimidated by someone who thinks that they are superior. Decide who you will take advice (or orders) from and stick to it. You are not the person that you were in the past and others need to realise it.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Outside influences and pressures make it hard to concentrate. However, finances in particular need attention, so do not be distracted by others trying to put a finger into your 'pie'. Do not be concerned about making changes in your social life because this, in turn, will sort out some of your more immediate practical problems.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being unusually uncertain of yourself this week could throw confusion into your ordered life. There is a partnership problem to be sorted out. Links with personal matters, however, make this tricky. Let some time pass so that someone close can get the message without feeling pressured.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Some loss of control over a
‘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.’
project is irksome. A new start that seemed so promising seems to be going off course. A real injection of time and effort will make all the difference, however. Midweek, you see things going in the right direction again. Keep finances simple and try not to combine business with pleasure.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are holding a good hand. Deal with the right people and the rewards are high. There is potential for being cheated out of something that is morally yours, so it may be necessary to be 'difficult' or 'awkward' to get what you deserve. Some things you only get one shot at.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)
Saturday June 1
Being a brave and forthright soul, it is easy this week to dispel the negative thoughts of others. A relationship that makes you hesitate could be of great benefit to you. There is little to lose by 'going for it'. The outcome could be beyond your dreams, something that you have not had many of lately.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Hidden forces are working away in the background. These give good and bad influences but life will not be dull this week. Sometimes you wish others would leave you alone more. Not that you are being anti-social. We all reach a point when we need space to think.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Petty arguments should be forgotten. More important things are afoot. Have you heard about fiddling while Rome burns? This may be you at the moment. Avoid wasting time with certain individuals and projects. A little extra effort in other directions, however, yields great results.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoiding a decision will not help this week. Who will deal with this matter but you? A relationship is threatened if you do not make a move. Will loved ones always be there for us no matter how much we neglect them? Why take such a chance? We only get out of life what there is willingness to put in.

Famous quote
‘
Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it’ll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.” Kevin Hart
Women’s wit
‘
When you’re rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship, even if you try hard not to be. I’ve talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac, but I realise now that it is simply the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.” Stevie Nicks

ONE new film charts the political drama behind the two terms served by American president, George W Bush. Starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Sam Rockwell and Steve Carell, Vice uncovers the untold and fascinating true story of how the man closest to Bush, Dick Cheney, secretly became the most powerful man in the world, pulling the strings on the president’s entire time in office. From Adam McKay, the Oscar-winning co-writer and director of The Big Short, Vice is funny, informative, and appropriate for the political times we live in. The details of a 20-year-old history still resonate today as we watch Cheney, a bureaucratic Washington insider, quietly reshape the country and world in ways still seen today.

Family matters
I WAS so happy to have almost finished my column for this week before going to celebrate with the Euro Weekly team their 20th anniversary. This week I was going to send it in (nearly) on time!! However you’ll get to read that one hopefully next week, as for now I can only but write a thank you note not just to Michel and Steven for such a lovely party, but to every single member of the EWN to acknowledge their hard work and dedication, day after day, deadline after deadline for 20 years! Very few businesses survive two decades, even less so when dependent upon advertisers. Add to this working in a foreign country, specifically based in six different touristic, coastal areas, which are transitional and fickly markets. The average business life expectancy in such circumstances is 18 months to two years. So what is their secret? Obviously hard work and determination by Michel and Steven, but the tangible pride exuded by the entire team pre-

and advertisers was like meeting long lost family members; a sense of belonging. I got to chat with the people who design the adverts, those who possibly flip out on a Wednesday afternoon when I want to change the image for my column, or worse
still, are wanting to know where my column is as the paper is going to print. The party therefore was also a good opportunity for me to apologise to everyone as well as give them a hug of gratitude. There was
EWN 75
lots of hugging going on as this was truly an event that brought together so many of the ‘extended family.’ I have always felt proud to be associated with the Euesdens because in my experience they are dedicated, dare to be different and above all are direct. The fact that they support and encourage many of the people who have been judged or even ostracised by our local community for some reason or another is for me the cherry on the top. It’s always wise to hang out with those who have a ‘GYB’ philosophy, those you know have ‘Got Your Back’ so it’s really nice to know that unlike other publications anywhere in the world that perhaps would jump at the chance to spread juicy gossip, they prefer to encourage and not convict. It’s undeniably a paper made up for the people by the people; individuals who work as a team but stand out for their singularities. People who care about each other and support each other, sharing a bond that not even all families can enjoy, particularly such extended ones! So congratulations to you all: it’s lovely to know that in some businesses ‘family’ still matters. www.rtvmarbellanow.com www.zerohero.es

Everything in life is temporary
Joris Plu THERE is a nice quote which says ‘everything is temporary, emotions, thoughts, people and scenery. Do not become too attached. Just flow with it.’ I strongly believe that when you in your life can master this saying, you will be a very happy person. And of course the people around you will benefit from this state of mind. Yes we all know that everything is temporary, but still we find it very hard to live by this. The most common thing that keeps people away from acting towards this belief is not fully understanding that we are in control of our emotions. We do not fully understand that emotions are not controlling us -
ENJOY: If things are going bad, do not worry.
even though it appears that way for many of us most of the time. Our thoughts which are led by
our emotions are temporary and controllable. If we can separate the emotion from our thinking, from
our brain and literally just look at the emotion from a distance - in a way examine it rationally - then we have a wonderful opportunity to see and feel that those emotions are not here to stay. It is not as easy done as said, but it can be done. And for those who know how to handle this there is a more peaceful life ahead. An example of how to do this is the next time you feel an emotion, use your brain, look at the emotion and ask yourself what kind it is. Look at the emotion from a distance. If it is fear for example, ask yourself where this fear is coming from. Because fear on its own does not really exist. With our brain we make something fearful, it comes from our past. What we have learned or experienced. Look at little children they have no fear. We as adults bring fear into their minds because we want to protect the children, maybe overprotect
them. Our parents brought fear into our minds. We can handle fear if we want to. Look differently towards it and experience it differently - even learn how not to accept it and let it go. We can control fear and make it something temporary. Another quote says: ‘Everything in life is temporary. So if things are going good, enjoy it because it won’t last forever. And if things are going bad, do not worry. It cannot last forever either.’ So dear friend, love life, now at this present moment. This is the moment that really exists. Enjoy it with a big smile on your face.

BLUEBERRIES: Scientists believe they may be key to improving heart health.
A NEW study has shown that a cup of blueberries a day could reduce the risk of heart disease by around 15 per cent. Research at the University of East Anglia found that 150 grams of the fruit could improve blood flow and reduce stiffness of arteries. The study looked at 138 overweight and obese adults aged between 50 and 75, and with a combination of diabetes and high blood pressure. Scientists found the blueberries re d u c e d their risk of heart disease by between 12 and 15 per cent over six months. Dr Peter Curtis, the s t u d y ’s c o - a u t h o r, s a i d : “We found eating one cup of blueberries per day resulted in sustained imp ro v e m e n t s i n v a s c u l a r function and arterial stiffness.”

EVERYONE loves a pampering session but often time and money sadly get in the way of taking time for ourselves. So why not try an at-home pampering session, cutting down on expense and which can be fitted in to a spare moment? Begin with a relaxing bath or shower, using a handful of salt or sugar mixed with a little oil as a gentle all-body exfoliator. This will get the circulation going- great for skin tone - as well as sloughing off dead cells to reveal glowing skin; just take care not to slip during this step. If running a bath, you can also add some gentle exfoliating and hydrating properties by adding dry or powdered milk, Cleopatrastyle. The lactic acid in dairy products can gently exfoliate skin at the same time as nourishing it. After drying off, treat yourself to a DIY facial by first thoroughly cleansing and then exfoliating the skin using a gentle facial scrub. If you have an at-home steamer, use this for 10 minutes to help clear pores, or alternatively use a towel over a bowl of hot water, taking care not to burn yourself. Next, as pores are less clogged, you can cleanse a second time to clear away any dirt, followed by applying a mask. For skin that is dry, use a hydrating or soothing mask if you already have one, or use a homemade honey and oatmeal mask with ingredients from the kitchen. For radiance, substitute the oatmeal for yoghurt and allow the lactic acid to brighten skin.

DIY pampering
AND RELAX: Take time for a pampering session at home. As the masks get to work for 10 to 15 minutes, soak nails in a bowl of warm water before gently removing any rough skin using small clippers or an orange stick. Next, shape nails using an emery board and filing
only in one direction. Finish with two coats of a favourite varnish, or for a natural shine massage a small amount of olive oil into the nail beds. Finally, remove any remaining face mask
and treat your skin to a soothing massage as you appl y a m oi st ur i ser. Usi ng gent l e sweeping motions, work from the middle of the face outwards to drain puffiness and help boost circulation for a healthy glow.

The A-Z of knee pain - Part 1 are to temporarily reduce inflammation (and therefore pain). They are NOT a long term solution, just a short term emergency pain relief. There is increasing research suggesting they can damage joints if used long term. Diet Visceral fat (the fat around the tummy) increases joint inflammation. More weight also puts more load on joints like the knee. Extension Getting the knee straight is of critical importance and is often the first movement to go. This is what causes the limp. A bent knee can then cause hip and back problems as the whole lower body is out of alignment. Feet Your knee is the biggest shock absorber for every step you take, so if there is shock or twist from the feet, the knee is going to take the strain. Correcting the feet can relieve the strain on the knee, reduce pain and prevent the situation getting worse.
Glucosamine With chondroitin was recommended to help ‘lubricate’ joints. Recent research suggests it may not be that effective and movement is more effective (and often free!) Hips Pain from the hips is often referred to the knee and vice versa. Make sure both are checked before starting treatment! Ice Numbs the pain and reduces swelling. Wrap an ice pack or frozen peas in a damp cloth, to prevent ice
burns, and apply for 10 minutes every half hour. Joint Replacement When the knee is replaced with a titanium joint. People are often refused if they are ‘too young’ as the replacements often only have a lifespan of five - 10 years. Consider this as a last resort! Knee Movement Full range of movement matters to how you walk and therefore the effect on all the other muscles and movements in your body. Get strong and straight and pain reduces
Limping If not corrected, limping can cause problems in the back and hips. These problems can’t be resolved until the knee problem is fixed. Magnetic Resonance Therapy A German technology for the treatment of osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease. This treatment strengthens and reinforces the cartilage, ligaments and tendons in the joint. It reduces inflammation and pain, allowing you to get your exercise regime going.

GEORDIE REUNION: The reality stars partied in Ibiza.
Fury on Love Island
MTV personality Charlotte Crosby, 29, reunited with her Geordie Shore pals Holly Hagan and Chloe Ferry for a wild holiday in Ibiza last week. Holly, 26, joked about sharing a plastic surgeon with her pals as they partied by the pool at Ocean Beach club. The girls showed off their surgically enhanced curves, flowing hair extensions and plump pouts in a snap posted to Instagram with the caption: ‘When you all have the same surgeon’ followed by a winking emoji and a crying with laughter face. This comes after Charlotte revealed recently she is finally happy after removing her ‘painful’ breast implants. All of the Geordie Shore stars have been open about having cosmetic procedures in the past.
HEAVYWEIGHT boxer Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy has been revealed in the line-up for Love Island 2019. The boxer, from Manchester, will be packing his bags and jetting off to Mallorca and entering the villa to meet the girl of his dreams this summer. Tommy Fury described himself as an ‘honest, charismatic and charming’ guy that will go ‘to the moon and back’ to get the girl of his dreams. Looks-wise, Tommy has said he is looking for a gym-goer with blonde hair, blue eyes and a good tan. The cast for the fifth series of the hit show was confirmed last week ahead of its return to ITV2 on June 3.
Moving on LAST year ’s Love Island winner Jack Fincham partied with bikini babes on a night out in Ibiza last week. Jack appeared to be moving on from his recent split from fellow Love Islander Dani Dyer by going wild on a boys trip to the Spanish island. Newly single Jack was seen cuddling up to model Megan Bennett on a daydrinking session at Ocean Beach club. Also at the bash was fellow Love Island star Kaz Crossley and Towie’s Dan Edgar. Jack’s ex Dani has also moved on from the split by returning with her pre-Love Island boyfriend Sammy Kimmence. “I ain’t living a life to prove to people or to fake to people I am something I am not,” she said.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks a lunchtime tasting menu for a special 30th birthday!
The face for radio! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com WINNING Best International Restaurant on the Costa del Sol for 2019 was an amazing and unexpected surprise. We are super delighted, especially as we now get more of the celebration business, birthdays, anniversaries and small weddings are flying in, before the award we didn’t have so many. Clients are literally flying over from the UK and Denmark/ Sweden/ Ireland to celebrate special birthdays with us and flying home the next day. I am so very proud of my team for making our little place, such a special restaurant, now in demand from people all over the world, not only locally. My original Geranium was the Pink Geranium which I bought in 1986. It is near Cambridge in a vil-
lage called Melbourn. I remember being worried about how I could afford paying the 17.5 per cent mortgage interest that Maggie Thatcher agreed with me as a first time buyer! Whatever way you look at it she did me a favour because without her offer of 100 per cent mortgage for the Pink Geranium (even with the high interest) it is unlikely that the Little Geranium or any of my other restaurants and hotels that I owned would ever have existed. So as a young man wanting to survive a tough market I launched a chauffeur service to collect clients and return them home in a Rolls Royce! (We offer a similar service here at the Little Geranium). I will never forget calling the bank to explain that the £20K working capital that they loaned me had been spent on a Silver Shadow! But the cars and the service quickly put us on the map and we were soon recognised by Michelin and we were the talk of the town because of the Rolls Royce running around with SO EGA (so eager) on the plate. A big break for me came when BBC Radio Cambridge called and
CELEBRATIONS: At the lunchtime party with Elena and Dave. wanted to book the restaurant and the car to do a piece on it. We collected a lady called Mandy Morton, a local and well known DJ. Champagne was served in the car and I treated her to a tasting menu. She was blown away and asked me if I would be interested in doing a little cookery slot on the radio each week. I did that spot for over 10 years with Mandy. But the real break was when BBC TV had heard one of my
shows and asked to see me. They offered me a weekly cookery slot on BBC Good Morning TV with Anne and Nick and from that exposure I was offered a place on BBC Ready Steady Cook and so on. So radio is important and precious to me and when I first arrived here on the coast, Global Radio contacted me asking if I would do a little slot each week, which was like old times and of course I accepted. Not as pretty as Mandy is Dave
James who has become the best known DJ on the coast with more listeners than any other local radio station. Working with Dave we became friends and so any excuse for a party… bring it on! Elena (Dave’s partner) was turning 30, so we threw a lunchtime tasting party for her complete with her family and Dave’s. “Crikey 30 is a big number” I said jokingly...” “Yeah” Elena replied “I’m a bit depressed about it.” “I have a child older than 30,” I said… “It’s nothing… life is only just beginning!” She didn’t seem convinced! So after several savoury courses including an amuse and our famous crispy duck salad, I presented a plate of local summer raspberries with a little jug of white chocolate espuma (light and foamy) as a dessert. Simple to create but most impressive to look at and a delight to eat. “A most amazing lunch, thank you,” Elena said. “Dave you really do have the voice for radio, everyone listens to you on the coast”…. “Not sure about the voice,” he said “but I definitely have the face for radio!”
Summer raspberry salad, white chocolate espuma INGREDIENTS for two 2 punnets of Spanish raspberries washed 2 tablespoons of icing sugar 1 large bunch of fresh mint • Method Simply toss the raspberries in the icing sugar to glaze them and arrang e t h e m a s p e r p h o to in a beautif u l b o wl . T h i s w ill ta k e some time but it’s worth it. Place a little leaf of fresh mint inside each raspberry using tweezers and then refrigerate until needed. • For the espuma mousse We use an espuma gun.
It’s like an aluminum bottle filled with gas which pumps air through the chocolate mousse making it lighter. For a similar effect you can make the chocolate mo u s s e h e re b e low w h ich is lig h t a nd fluffy. • F o r th e s im ple white chocolate mousse Ingredients 5 0 0 g th ick (d o uble ) cream or whipping cream 4 0 0 g w h ite choc ola te , RASPBERRY SALAD: With white chocolate mousse.

Stir in the vanilla. Pour into a bowl and leave to cool to room temperature. Now refrigerate until very well chilled (at least four hours or overnight).

PETS AT HouseSitMatch.com we understand how important it is to have pets relaxed and happy, being cared for at home whenever possible.

That’s what we do. We work to find great house-sitters and pet lovers. Get in touch if you want us to help you get on board. You find caring sitters to look after property and pets, they offer their time and experience for free and everybody wins! Unlike other house-sitting networks, at Housesitmatch.com we ID
TECH FOR THE TIMID ON eBay I recently found a book I once wrote priced at €20. They also had another copy in the same condition, but this time with an added cachet: it was signed by the author. And cost €5 less. This humbling discovery set me to remembering the extent of that book’s original text. It was written on a simple DOS-based word-processor, and the entire text occupied a minuscule 532 KB - half a megabyte! Megabytes? Remember those before we all went gaga on gigas, teras and petas? When storage was so precious (and of course men were men and we all lived in cardboard boxes), a Sinclair ZX chess game didn’t even need 1KB to run (487 bytes is still apparently the world record). These days my toothbrush needs a thousand times that just to log its bedtime routine. Once the floppy disk and then the writeable CD bit the digital dust we became hugely cavalier w ith t h e sh e e r v o lu mes o f th e

Going gaga on gigas Terence Kennedy recalls when men were men and computers saved kilobytes stuff we now create and save. Wh ere it u se d to be said a floppy disk could hold a couple of hundred bibles, now we casually rac k u p a hundre d megabytes for a turgid report with a few piecharts, several gigabytes for Microsoft’s monster O ffice s u ite , a nd don’t ev en me n tio n jus t how man y s q u illi ons of megabytes today’s gargantuan games gobble up. Just how should we be backing up our precious information now there’s s o d a rn ed mu ch of it? (And you do of course backup, don’t you?). Of course there’s the famous ‘cloud,’ but good luck sucking all th o s e g ig s o f da ta ba c k dow n again come the day you have to rebuild your digital life after a
disaster. Safest of all is still the trusty old external drive, and the good news is that prices keep plummeting just slightly faster than our personal data sprouts like Jack’s
beanstalk. You can of course keep using flash drives and SD cards to back up, but despite everdecreasing prices and ever-increasing capacities, the best bang for your backup buck i s still an external (USB) hard-drive. What ever m edi um you choose ( and t he accompanying panel m i ght hel p) , don’t make the fundamental error I committed those many years ago: keeping your backup wi t h your com put er. Store it somewhere ‘off-site,’ even with a neighbour for safety. I didn’t - until a fire consumed both my computer and its backup on the same desk. So now if I want to see what I

HDD or SSD is the question WHAT should it be: a cheaper, heavier HDD, or the newer, more expensive but far faster SSD? Megabyte for megabyte the clunky old mechanical beasts are still the best bargain, but the gap is narrowing fast. And as a general rule of thumb, the bigger (ie higher capacity) drive you buy, the cheaper it gets per megabyte of storage. One thing you can safely ignore is the hoary old warning that solid-state storage wears out fast. Yes it can survive fewer read and write cycles than its mechanical predecessor, but these days that’s almost irrelevant. Some SSDs now have a 10-year warranty, and experts reckoned that one new model just out will last the average Joe 114 years. I’m not counting on outliving mine.

EWN 95
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. ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA.

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

“All new Flying Spur
95 per cent of a car’s lifetime is spent parked
MOTORING FACT BENTLEY MOTORS will be celebrating its centenary by launching its all-new, third generation Flying Spur Grand Touring Sedan at 11am BST on Tuesday, June 11. This will be the very first Bentley to feature All-Wheel Steering enhancing both stability at cruising speeds and agility around town. During high-speed manoeuvres, the electronic system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as the front wheels, making overtaking and lane changes more assured. All-Wheel Steering also means no compromise between high speed confidence and low speed convenience. Like every Flying Spur of recent times, the third incarnation f e a -
tures All-Wheel Drive for optimum traction. For the first time, drive is supplied only to the rear wheels in standard road conditions giving classic sports sedan handling characteristics. If any slip is detected, the system can instantly send drive to the front wheels providing active AllWheel Drive, fully automatically.
Bentley Dynamic Ride is designed to further improve both handling and ride comfort. New to the Flying Spur, the innovative system changes suspension stiffness on demand to combat
cornering forces and minimise body roll that might otherwise disturb occupants. Like the recently launched Continental GT, the all-new Flying Spur is a ground up development that pushes the boundaries of both technology and craftsmanship to deliver what the manufacturer
describes as ‘segment-defining levels of performance and refinement.’ Owing only its historic name to the preceding model, the four-door sedan will, Bentley promises ‘deliver an unparalleled touring experience for the driver and passengers alike.’ The company says it is intending to create the world’s best luxury Grand Touring sedan when the Flying Spur is revealed shortly.
INNOVATION: The new Flying Spur.
A concept reinvented... By Dilip Kuner AS concept cars go, it is not exactly futuristic. But it is drop dead gorgeous. The BMW Group is taking the occasion of this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este to unveil the recreation of the BMW Garmisch, a classic con-
cept car that was designed by Marcello Gandini for Bertone and vanished after its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970. “Marcello Gandini to me is one of the grandmasters of car design and his cars always have been an important source of inspiration for my work,” says Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President of BMW Group Design, who has been intrigued by the BMW Garmisch since he first discovered a faded period picture of the car some years ago. “Building the BMW Garmisch for a second time gave us the opportunity to pay tribute to Mr Gandini, recall one of his lesser-known cars and highlight Bertone’s stylistic influence on the evolution of BMW design.
For me, that alone was reason enough to do this project - filling in the gaps and completing BMW’s history.” The original BMW Garmisch was developed by Bertone as an independent design proposal intended to demonstrate the studio’s creativity. “The original idea came from Nuccio Bertone himself who wanted to consolidate our existing relationship with BMW by designing a surprise show car for the Geneva Motor Show,” remembers Marcello Gandini, who was in charge of Bertone’s design department at the time. “We wanted to create a modern mid-sized coupe that was faithful to BMW’s design language, but that was also more dynamic and even a bit provoca-
tive.” While the side profile of the car was very sleek and clean, the most distinctive design feature of the BMW Garmisch was its bold, vertical and almost angular variation of BMW’s kidney-shaped radiator grill, which was flanked by square glass-covered headlights. Other unusual details included sports car-like louvres on the Cpillars and the honeycomb-patterned mesh cover for the rear window - a trademark element of Marcello Gandini’s style. Being faithful to the original car, the new BMW Garmisch is also a showcase of BMW’s ex-

As original documents of the BMW Garmisch were sparse, the design team had to retrace every detail of the car’s exterior and interior from a small selection of period images, most of them only available in black and white. Marcello Gandini himself contributed to the research process with memories from the

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher SUZUKI’S tiny four-wheeldrive Jimny has been around for many years in virtually unchanged form, but now there is an all-new version which looks less cute and more formidable. The new Jimny is still very small but has more purposeful styling and even looks quite cool, an important element in an image-conscious market. It still has selectable 4WD with low-ratio transfer box which means it is amazingly capable off-road, often able to venture into terrain that larger 4WD models cannot cope with. Powered by a 1.5 litre 100 hp petrol engine and fivespeed manual gearbox (there is a four-speed auto option), the Jimny has a 0-100 kph time of 12 seconds and top speed of 150 kph (90 mph). Average fuel economy is 14.7 kpl (41.5 mpg) and emissions are 154 g/km. Prices start at €17,583 (£15,499), though my topspec SZ5 Allgrip test version cost €20,420 (£17,999) and
ITALIAN STYLE: The BMW Garmisch will turn heads. creation of the car, allowing the design team to refabricate key details such as the exterior colour - a light champagne metallic in line with Italian fashion trends of the time - and the interior materials and trim. And while the BMW Design team used the latest 3D modelling technologies to revive and specify the original structures and shapes, the BMW Garmisch was coach-built by skilled craftsmen in Turin - just like the original car almost 50 years ago. “When I first heard that BMW wanted to recreate the BMW Garmisch, I was a bit surprised,” Marcello Gandini recalls of his first meeting with Adrian van Hooydonk, who visited him in Turin in the summer of 2018 to ask for his approval. “Now I am very pleased that I was able to be part of this project and happy that BMW chose to recall this enjoyable past. Having seen the final car, it is hard for me to even distinguish it from the original.”

pressure monitoring. The cabin is narrow but functional, with good dashboard layout and comfortable seating.The two rear seats will accommodate adults, but luggage space is then very limited at just 85 litres. But with the rear seats down flat, the load space is 377 litres litres, larger than in the pre-
vious Jimny. There is very little cabin stowage space - a tiny glove-box, very slim door pockets and a couple of cup holders is about all you get. The Jimny can double as a neat, versatile rural vehicle with strong off-road and towing ability, or as a practical and nimble city car with eye-catching cachet. On tarmac, ride quality is firm but quite acceptable and the handling is agile thanks to revised steering which gives much-improved feedback and a greater sense of control. I found the four-speed auto transmission rather over-busy but most buyers will go for the slick manual gearbox. The previous Jimny had a lot of friends, selling almost three million worldwide, and this updated and enhanced version will attract many more to the Suzuki brand. The Jimny looks good, drives well, and there is nothing truly comparable or as capable at the price.

Masterful van Dijk IN what was a disappointing game in terms of the quality of football played, the light shone brightly on one player in the Champions League final, according to the Spanish press. This was Liverpool’s Dutch centre half Virgil van Dijk, many of whom have tipped him to buck the Messi/ Ronaldo trend and tipped him for the coveted Ballon d’Or. Marca called the Dutchman ‘His Majesty’ and praised him as a ‘force of nature,’ not just in his side’s 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano stadium, but also for the entire Champions League campaign. They also praised Mo Salah for his grit in bouncing back
from his final heartbreak in 2018 when a bad tackle from Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos not only forced him out of the match after 20 minutes, but severely affected his World Cup campaign with Egypt. Diario AS asked: “Is it crazy to suggest the next Ballon d’Or winner could be a defender? “All bets will be on Messi, but Salah, Mane and Van Dijk should all be candidates and the defender has been the best player in the Premier League, won the Champions League and still has the Nations League final four to come.” Marca referred to van Dijk as
JURGEN KLOPP: Promised to bring back a major trophy.
HIS MAJESTY: Virgil van Dijk with the CL trophy. ‘His majesty,’ saying: “He got to everything, via land, air or sea. A force of nature. “The Dutchman’s game was worth framing and putting in the Anfield tunnel. He read danger well, was majestic in the air and good on the ball. Totten-
ham found themselves up against a giant.” On the match itself Liverpool had the perfect start when Salah slotted home a second minute penalty after Moussa Sissoko’s controversial handball. The Reds’ fans had to wait until the 87th minute for their side’s second goal, when the ball fell to substitute Divock Origi who smashed home a fine left-footed finish. In between, Tottenham had the best of the match, but looked toothless with barely a chance until the final few minutes of the game. It was Liverpool’s sixth Champions League/European Cup triumph and was the fulfilment of manager Jurgen Klopp’s promise to bring back to Anfield a major trophy within four years.
Santa Maria Golf extends to Par-71 CostaLessGolf Weekly News with
Ron Garrood SANTA MARÍA Golf & Country Club has extended its 18-hole course to a par-71 following a major transformation of the ninth hole, which has been lengthened from a 324metre par-four to a 511-metre par-five. The Marbella club’s newlook layout will be unveiled with the opening of the transformed ninth hole on June 14. The tees on the ninth remain the same. The first shot has to be hit across a lake and begin climbing a slight slope, gaining enough distance so you can reach the new fairway with your second shot, a slight dogleg to the left to the second landing area; or, for the more conservative, a third shot which will require a second approach to avoid two bunkers protecting both boundaries of the new hole. The approach shot to the

This sand hazard can be avoided by hitting to the left-hand platform or approaching or over the bunker. The ninth green is in the highest area of the golf course. The hole rises slightly from the tee to a well-protected green in a stunning natural setting. Its size enables many different flag positions, which further enhances the hole’s spectacular features. This extension of the course will be continued with a new layout remodelling to lengthen
it further to a par-72 within a few months, probably by March 2020. Santa María Golf was inaugurated in 1991, initially with nine holes designed by Antonio García Garrido. The second nine, opened in 1996, were designed by the club’s technical team. Managed by Alfredo Ramiro, the course offers golfers a challenging round in exceptional natural surroundings. A stream and four lakes provide the course with testing challenges, while further enhancing its beauty. Book with CostaLessGolf two players inc shared buggy for €124.00€ in June.

WINNER: Danilo Petrucci.
A winner at last DANILO PETRUCCI - so often the nearly man - has finally won and he couldn’t have chosen a better venue than his home Italian MotoGP. Now in his eighth season of GP racing, the Italian rode his Ducati to victory, fending off Spaniard Marc Marquez in a thrilling final lap to take the chequered flag by 0.043 of a second. Andrea Dovizioso on the second Ducati came in third just behind the Honda rider, with Alex Rins fourth on a Suzuki. In an exciting start several riders made big improvements on their grid positions. Britain’s Cal Crutchlow stormed off the line and into second from sixth while Andrea Dovizioso went from ninth to third. Alex Rins also had a phenomenal start and climbed seven positions by the end of the opening lap. There was plenty of action in the early stages - a bit too much for home favourite Valentino Rossi. He had made a good start after disasterous qualifying, but on turn four he tangled with Joan Mir and rejoined in last position after running across the gravel. There was no coming back on lap eight when he crashed at high speed to finish what he himself described as his worst ever Italian MotoGP. At the front there was plenty of action as Rins and Dovizioso took the front, with Marquez dropping down the order before fighting back. Crutchlow also found himself being overtaken, to finish an eventual eighth. Going into the last lap
EXCITING RACE: There was plenty of action. Dovizioso got ahead of Marquez at turn one but ran wide, leaving the door open for Danilo Petrucci to roar through into the lead. Into the final corner Marquez closed rapidly, but Petrucci held on for his first ever win. Speaking after the race Petrucci said: “It’s amazing. It’s unbelievable. At the beginning of this season I start to think maybe I never will (win) but then I adapt this strategy of making the best offtrack, on-track without thinking about anything. I have no contract for next year, so I started to think about doing other things in my life.” Teammate Dovizioso said:
“Danilo was fast, he was able to stay at the front and do the same lap times as me and Marc. “I didn’t put myself in a bad position; I was managing the tyre, I didn’t push too hard and I did the right overtakes in the right moment. “I’m so disappointed to lose the points here today, but I decided to work with Danilo because I saw some potential. He had to change just a few things and he’s done it, that’s why he won today. He needed that result for the future, so I’m happy for him.” The teams now head to Barcelona for the next round of the championship.

Alonso to Ferrari rumour
By Dilip Kuner FERNANDO ALONSO could find himself back in F1 next year back in a Ferrari seat. That is if you believe the latest rumours from the gossipy world of the F1 paddock. According to Spanish paper MARCA ,the Asturian two-time world champion, who retired from F1 last year, is being considered for a drive by the Italian giants. But this depends on whether or not Sebastian Vettel decides to retire or not - far from a foregone conclusion. Vettel has looked vulnerable on the track this year, with young teammate Charles Leclerc impress-
ing. This has led to rumours that Vettel, who now h a s a y o u n g f a m i l y, m a y decide his time is up. Meanwhile Alonso, who failed to qualify his McLaren for the Indy 500, is now gearing up for the 24 hours of le Mans. He is aiming for his second win in the event, which is also his final drive in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) with Toyota and his objective will be to become WEC champion. Back in Spain, the Royal Automobile Club of Catalonia (RACC) has put out a plea asking that this year ’s Barcelona GP does not turn out to be the last one held in the city. The future of the event held at the Circuit de

sued a statement saying: “The RACC asks all administrations and the business world to make a unity of action to achieve the renewal of the Formula 1 race. “We want to keep in our country one of the most important sporting events held every year in the world.” The club said the Spanish GP contributes €163 million to the economy and 2,700 jobs, and also gives the region and Spain ‘maximum visibility’ in the media.
ECUADOR’S Richard Carapaz has won the 102nd Giro d’Italia for Spain’s Movistar team. He kept a cool head to defend his lead on Sunday’s final stage to maintain an advantage of 1’05” over Italian Vincenzo Nibali while Slovakian Primoz Roglic regained his spot on the podium at the expense of Spaniard Mikel Landa. American rider Chad Haga won the closing time trial in Verona ahead of Belgians Victor Campenaerts and Thomas De Gendt. Carapaz, his nation’s first winner of the race, later said: “I’m very proud of what I achieved. I’m delighted to make my dream of winning a Grand Tour come true. We must never forget our childhood dreams. They can always become reality with hard work and determination. “In my four years in European cycling, I realised that opportunities have to be caught. The 30 seconds I gained on stage 15 were fundamental. I profited from [Vincenzo] Nibali and [Primoz] Roglic watching each other. That’s where the Giro was decided. For me, it’s only the beginning, I think. We always dream for more.” Second placed Vincenzo Nibali said: “This morning, I knew
it would be extremely difficult to win the Giro d’Italia. But I thought I could do a good time trial. So I gave it all until the end. “Second at the Giro is still a good result, especially thinking that six months ago, I was down with a big back pain after the crash at the Tour de France. To be back fighting for the overall victory in a Grand Tour is something positive.” The stage winner Chad Haga said in the press conference: “It’ll take a bit longer to realise but it’ll come. My victory is of course a consolation price after Tom Dumoulin pulled out. I came in top form but it was a support form. “During the time trial, I kept thinking this is what Tom would have been doing today if he was here. I thought today I had a real possibility because the course suited me very well and for sure better than the one of stage 9. As an American, I feel very proud of winning a stage at the Giro d’Italia.” Points Classification winner Pascal Ackermann said: “The atmosphere in the arena is fabulous. I have never experienced anything like this before. It makes me feel special about the getting the Cyclamen jersey, which was a childhood dream.”
