54 TRADITION: Fiesta goers jump over bonfires on San Juan night.

LETTERS

Fiery fiesta THIS picture of Spanish men jumping over a bonfire comes as thousands prepare to do the same in one of the country’s biggest fiestas this Sunday.

Jumping over bonfires at midnight is one of the many traditions of the Noche de San Juan fiesta (Saint John’s Eve).

The festival closely coincides with midsummer celebrations held elsewhere in Europe and the world and also comes days after the Summer Solstice.

San Juan evolved out of celebrations which traditionally took place the night before Saint John’s feast day.

John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus Christ who baptised him at the beginning of his ministry as a rabbi, was born on June 24 according to Christian teachings.

The way San Juan is celebrated throughout Spain varies from place to place. A common feature in Spain and across the world is the lighting of bonfires.

The Spanish tend to light their fires on beaches, though they are also lit in some places inland including in Madrid.

69 TIME OUT

The bonfires are one of three traditional elements of the fiesta, with their symbolism and significance traceable to pre-Christian pagan religions.

Midnight sees fiesta goers run into the sea, which has its origin in water being seen as purifying and as working best with medicinal plants, another traditional element.

Those celebrating then jump over the fires either for good luck or to make a wish, depending on the area. Fires were believed to ward off evil spirits in pagan cultures.

Towns’ water fine Gender violence TWO Costa del Sol towns are among nine in Spain failing to comply with EU water standards which has led to the bloc’s court fining Madrid more than €22.3 million.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that Spain must pay the penalty under rules which require towns with more than 15,000 inhabitants to properly treat waste water.

Coin and Alhaurin el Grande were among the nine towns cited by the court for the fine. The others were Matalascañas and Isla Cristina, both in Huelva Province, Malaga Province’s Nerja, Barbate and Tarifa in Cadiz Province and Gijon Este and Valle de Guimar in Tenerife.

Spain’s Ecology Ministry said the country would probably have to pay out more because planned water treatment plants for the towns are not expected to become operational until 2022. EU rules required towns to comply by 2001 when they were first brought in.

FOLLOW US ON

MALAGA Province saw the second highest number of women die in suspected gender violence incidents during the first three months of this year of any in Spain, government figures show.

Data from the General Council of the Judiciary showed four women died in such cases from January to March this year.

That is three higher than during the same period last year, according to the figures.

Malaga Province was second only to Barcelona in terms of the number of gender violence deaths.

Judicial figures also showed Malaga Province courts sentenced 135 men for gender violence crimes during the first quarter of this year. That is 15 more than were convicted between January and March 2018.

A total of 2,135 women reported being victims of gender violence throughout Spain in the first quarter of 2019. The equivalent figure for January to March 2018 was 1,965.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS THE path to power for Spain’s acting prime minister is becoming clearer, but work still continues to build a workable majority following April’s snap general election.

Pedro Sanchez looks set to face an investiture vote, a ballot of Congress of Deputies members on his taking office as prime minister, in early July.

Sanchez and his left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) will formally take power if the investiture vote goes smoothly.

The path to power was initially hard due to arithmetic in the Congress of Deputies.

PSOE won 123 seats following April’s election, well ahead of the second largest party, the conservative Partido Popular (PP), but more than 50 seats short of a majority.

Spain’s Constitution states that candidates for prime minister, once nominated by the monarch and the speaker

LOOMING VOTE: Sanchez needs the Congress of Deputies’ support. of Congress, must be voted in by lawmakers.

There are two rounds of voting depending on how the first goes. In the first vote, Sanchez would have to win an absolute majority in the 350-seat Congress to take office.

The fractured make up of Congress makes this a tall order. He is well on the way to securing the backing of the leftist Podemos, but will

still need to win over smaller, regionalist parties to get over the line.

If he fails to win an absolute majority then a second vote is held where only a simple majority, more yeses than nos, is needed.

If Sanchez reaches this stage then things as they stand appear to be easier.

Some parties, including the pro-Catalan independence Esquerra Republicana de

Cataluyna (ERC), have already said they will abstain meaning Sanchez will not need as much support.

A loss in the second vote would trigger another general election as Spain would be left without an effective government.

Acting Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said another election is not going to happen because voters had already given PSOE a mandate. She called on other parties to back Sanchez’s bid to become prime minister.

Pablo Casado and Albert Rivera, leaders of the PP and centrist Ciudadanos respectively, have both said they will vote against Sanchez.

But recent polls of their parties’ members show a majority would rather they abstain, perhaps showing voters want a stable government more than continued deadlock.

Mayors sworn in MAYORS across Spain officially took up their posts on Saturday following last month’s local elections.

Control of Madrid City Council, previously governed by a leftist coalition led by Manuela Carmena, has now passed to rightwing parties.

The conservative Partido Popular’s (PP) Jose Luis MartinezAlmeida is the new mayor of Spain’s capital. He heads a rightwing coalition which includes the centrist Ciudadanos and far-right Vox. Barcelona mayor Ada Colau, of the leftist Barcelona en Comu, narrowly clung on in city hall after the left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) and Ciudadanos backed her.

Joan Ribo also stays on as mayor of Valencia with the regionalist Compromis and with PSOE’s support.

Juan Mari Aburto, of the Partido Nacionalista Vasco (PNV), is staying on for his second term in Bilbao with the backing of the Basque branch of PSOE. PSOE’s Juan Espadas has managed to stay on as mayor of Sevilla and will run the council with a minority administration.

BREXIT BRIEF No-deal impact UP to 0.9 per cent could be knocked off Spanish Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the event of a ‘disorderly’ no-deal Brexit, according to new estimates from economists.

Spain’s General Council of Economists (CGE) said both Spain and Portugal would feel the impact of Brexit regardless of how it happens.

The researchers, who presented their findings at the eighth annual Iberian Seminar of Economists, said the tourism industry would be one sector that would feel the most impact. British holidaymakers account for around 23 per cent of Spain’s total, according to Tourism Board figures.

Others are likely to face financial instability and disruptions in their supply chains, the economists added.

Imports and exports including those of cars, food and drink would be affected, with Britain currently Spain’s fifth-largest trading partner at around 7 per cent of total trade.

The economists said Spain was also more exposed to potential trade fallout than other EU countries including France and Italy.

Telecommunications, transport, business services and financial services including banking would also be hit, according to the forecasts.

Spain faces having an estimated 0.5 per cent shaved off its GDP total even if a no-deal Brexit is orderly.

Doctor cleared of immigrant’s death A MADRID judge acquitted the doctor held responsible for the death of Samba Martine in December 2011.

It would have been unfair to convict him, the judge said, for the omissions of other doctors or nurses and ‘bureaucratic deficiencies.’

The Congolese woman was transferred from Melilla to the Aluche (Madrid) immigrants’ internment on November 12, 2011.

Martine had been tested

That same day she was prescribed medication for flu-like symptoms and itching in the perianal zone but once in Madrid, these worsened and she was seen by the accused primary care doctor.

He attended Martine until November 30, after which she was treated on seven

more occasions by other doctors and nurses.

On December 19 she was finally admitted to hospital where she died seven hours later.

She died of systemic cryptococcosis, a fungal disease that would have received more appropriate treatment had doctors been aware that Martine was HIV positive, but the results of the Melilla test did not arrive until November 2012, the judge said.

ILLEGAL TRADE: Spanish police are cracking down on the export of elvers.

Landmark case THE first smuggling conviction of its kind marks a change in policies in the export of elvers, a term given to the juvenile stage of an eel’s life where they are sometimes known as ‘Glass Eels.’

The export and distribution of these eels outside of Spain has been prohibited since 2010 when the species was classed as endangered.

However the export of these eels is still a major underground movement in Spain, with the majority of shipments heading for the Asian market.

“It’s the European ivory,” sums up Lieutenant José Antonio Alfaro.

Environmental organisation Seprona have been actively working on the situation since 2011, however the issue is a complex one with the main way of exporting the eels involving the falsifying of documents, claiming the items are a different, legal, species of eel.

However during operations during the past decade, Seprona has carried out five major operations, seizing over eight tonnes of eels in total. These have recently led to a total of €1.5 million in fines for the companies involved.

Increase in Italian workers A RECENT report compiled by data from the Ministry of Labour has revealed that the number of Italian workers has increased by 71 per cent over the past 10 years.

The study, taking data from 2008, shows more than 46,000 Italian workers have

come to Spain, with most concentrated around the Valencian Community, Cataluña, Madrid and Canary Islands.

Romanian workers still hold the majority of foreign labour in the country, with 100,000 registered in Spain

followed by Moroccan and Chinese immigrants.

The British appear well down on the table. National Institute of Statistics (INE) data shows that only one in four British citizens arrive in Spain to work, the rest to retire.

Calls for cancer screening A REGIONAL forum will take place as part of the Congress of the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) in Santiago de Compostela to discuss the urgent call for a lung cancer screening programme in Spain.

Spain sits in a ‘privileged position’ with its national health system and should be ‘a pioneer ’ in the field according to Doctor Luis Seijo.

Worldwide, lung cancer has the highest mortality rate of all the different strains of the disease, higher than colon, prostate and breast all put together.

One of the main reasons for the high rate is that the disease is often caught in the advanced stages and therefore too late to effectively treat.

Spanish medical authorities are taking into account re-

URGENT CALL: Spain is currently trying to bring a lung cancer screening system to the country. ports from the American National Lung Screening Trail which suggest that an efficient screening programme will reduce the mortality rate by over 26 per cent.

The largest cause of lung cancer in Spain continues to be tobacco smoke, however there is also a strong percentage that is caused by burning

of biomass, wood burning stoves, air pollution and radon gas.

A large concern is air pollution, contributed by diesel car emissions and industrial pollution as there has been a direct link between the two causes and an increased number of asthma sufferers especially in young children.

Blood donations SPAIN has come sixth in a global ranking of blood donations as data showed they save an average of 80 people a day.

The latest blood donation index also found the average Spanish donor is male and aged between 31 and 40.

Male blood donors are not permitted to give blood more than four times a year while

the limit for women is three times.

Pregnant women are advised to wait six months after giving birth before donating.

British residents in Spain can also donate.

People who lived in Britain between 1980 and 1996 are prohibited due to the mad cow disease outbreak which took place at that time.

The 13.5 kilo stash in the town of Nambroca in Toledo is also the biggest find of the drug ever made in the province.

One man was arrested in the operation, which saw police dismantle a secret laboratory where high purity heroin was cut with other substances to later sell on at a big profit.

More now in work UNEMPLOYMENT in Spain fell by 0.2 per cent in Spain in April, part of an ongoing drop which has lasted since August 2013 according to latest information released by the OECD. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental economic organisation with 36 member countries, founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade.

Overall unemployment dropped to 5.2 per cent across all of the member states, so Spain still with 13.8 per cent out of work whilst recovering, still has a long way to go, especially as the figures highlight that 32.7 per cent of young people (aged from 15 to 24) are without jobs which is the second highest total in the eurozone, beaten only by Greece.

Another interesting fact is that 4 per cent more women than men remain without jobs in Spain, which is much higher than the average difference within the eurozone.

‘Disenchantment’ with institutions

FINE CALL: The protesters took part in Women’s Day marches in Madrid.

Feminist protest penalties

By Joe Gerrard ACTIVISTS in Madrid have called on the government’s representative in the region to resign after three feminist protesters were fined over International Women’s Day demonstrations.

The Union of Students and Free and Combative called for the immediate resignation of Maria Paz Garcia.

They threatened to call a general students’ strike if their demands are not met. Representatives from both groups

have met with the government delegation but the meeting was inconclusive.

The union said fines of up to €2,000 handed down to protesters demonstrating in feminist marches were ‘absolutely shameful’ given the government’s rhetoric on women’s rights.

“The government has declared itself the most feminist in Spanish history but it does not put into practice anything that really improves conditions for women,” the Union of Students General Secretary Carol Latorre said.

The Government’s delegation in Madrid said the protesters were fined after a lorry carrying a public address system was driven into a restricted area without permission.

The ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) has backed feminism as part of its wider socially progressive policy agenda.

The protesters were fined under Spain’s so-called civil security ‘gag law’ which PSOE has previously attempted to reform.

SPANISH citizens are losing faith in government and political institutions, according to an NGO which claimed the country is becoming less peaceful as a result.

The Institute for Economics and Peace’s (IEP) Global Peace Index ranked Spain 32, a fall of three places compared to a year ago. Spain came 21st in Europe and its overall level of peace is still classed as high.

Iceland was the most peaceful country while Afghanistan came last. Britain came 45th, up five places on last year.

Steve Killelea, head of IEP, told Spanish media that economic hardship unleashed fol-

lowing the 2008 recession and successive corruption scandals have bred ‘disenchantment’ with political institutions.

The ranking scores countries based on factors including wellbeing, confidence in election results, corruption and the acceptance of the rights of others.

A report released alongside the ranking stated that the amount of Spanish people who felt they were free to choose how to live their lives fell.

Trust in elections was also found to have fallen, along with respect for the rights of others.

Global peace overall has improved for the first time in five years, according to the report.

Police will not pursue smoking drivers in Spain POLICE will not fine people for smoking while driving according to the Director of the DGT traffic department.

But now Pere Navarro has said that his department has no plans to order traffic police to take action against smokers, despite saying that it is a clear distraction and thus dangerous.

He says his department would support a possible Ministry of Health ‘ban’ on public health grounds. However, he added that he would “not be comfortable” with the image of “Guardia Civil chasing smokers.”

Navarro was speaking at the launch of a new traffic safety campaign. He highlighted that 24 per cent of drivers killed last year had high rates of alcohol in their blood, a percentage that rises to 35 per cent for those killed on urban roads.

AN agreement has been given to bypass a complicated redrafting of the bilateral defence agreement in order to station 30 more troops to Rota Naval Base.

The US Navy intends to deploy a helicopter maritime strike squadron to the base on the south west of the country.

This means a total of six Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk helicopters

and an extra 30 personnel including pilots and engineers as well as equipment and support crew will be transported to the base. An agreement, made in 1988, states that the maximum number of US troops permitted to be based in Rota is 4,250 personnel and 1,000 non-military citizens. However many of the points are outdated and this has

led to the bypass of the amendment of the agreement to push forward on the relocation.

Migration ‘exploitation’ probe

By Joe Gerrard NATIONAL POLICE officers and labour inspectors have undertaken hundreds of inspections in Catalan shops to probe criminal gangs’ alleged exploitation of migrant workers.

Investigators said some gangs were offering undocumented migrants false contracts to get them papers, sometimes fraudulently.

The migrants, typically from Pakistan and China, were then made to work long hours in inhuman conditions for pay with no social security or tax payments, police claimed.

Emilio de la Calle Sanchez, of the Central Unit of Illegal Immigration Networks and False Documentation (UCRIF) in Cataluña, said the migrants paid around €10,000 to get to Spain. Trafficking gangs were then forcing them to work in the shops after getting them into Spain on tourist visas, Calle Sanchez added.

Police said migrants who arrived in Barcelona and elsewhere in Cataluña were told they were in debt to the gangs. Men were forced to work in the shops, while women were prostituted. Migrants were forced to work 20 hours a day in some cases.

Investigations into the gangs continue.

It was opened by Pepe Beúnza (72), objector to military service who was imprisoned after refusing to enlist in military service in 1971, and 16 year old Maria. María is a young person activist of the Fridays for Future movement, which has called two global strikes in more than 100 countries to demand action for the climate crisis.

migrants trying to reach Spain.

The Senegalese and Spanish governments have been collaborating on migration and security issues since 2007, mainly by controlling vessels that could be used clandestinely in the Atlantic.

Land, air and sea patrols are deployed in order to reduce the number of arrivals of these vessels to the Canary Islands.

Air quality improves THE quality of Spanish air improved in 2018, with new analysis showing the amount of pollutants has fallen, but remains over legal limits.

The Climate Change Ministry’s Air Quality report found the fall was less significant for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulates (PM10) and ozone (O3).

Environmental policies including Madrid’s low emission zone and the electrification of public transport are beginning to have a positive impact, Ministry officials said.

The amount of pollutants exceeded limits 34 times in 2018 compared to 36 times the year before. The regions of Madrid, Andalucia, Castilla La Mancha, Valencia and Murcia saw pollution rise above limits the most, according to the report.

Family turned away A MAN claims he was refused service in a Catalan restaurant because he was wearing a polo shirt with the Spanish flag on it.

According to local press a family went to the establishment in the Girona town of Ripoll only to be turned away.

But a statement from the restaurant disputes the facts.

It says the customers left of their own volition after a cook told them that their clothes made him ‘nervous.’

It adds that the restaurant “respects all customers and ideologies as long as they do not threaten human dignity.”

Smart meters installed MORE than 95 per cent of all electric metres of 15 kilowatts or more in Spain are now smart meters, although not every consumer knows this or even benefits from the information these meters can supply.

This information was released in a report from the Na-

tional Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) which went on to criticise the fact that households pay more for these new meters, yet have in many cases not been advised by electricity suppliers how they can easily check their power usage and find other benefits.

Whilst the electric companies are not required to change every meter in the country, if it is uneconomic or for reasons beyond their control, even the Energy Minister Teresa Ribera has brought the companies to task for not giving consumers access to all of the information that should be available.

GOING CLEAN: Endesa is investing in wind power.

Wind powering Spain WIND was responsible for a 22.6 per cent share of Spain’s power generation in May. Some 4,655 GWh of electricity was produced by wind generators in the month as renewables accounted for 41.6 per cent of the power mix.

According to estimates from Spanish grid operator Red Electrica de Espana, wind power production increased by 40.2 per cent

compared to May of 2018.

Across the whole of Spain electricity demand fell by 0.8 per cent to 21,127 GWh yearon-year.

Nuclear (which is not counted as a renewable) took a 19.4 per cent share of electricity generation. Solar provided a total of 8.2 per cent, with hydropower supplying 9.2 per cent.

Coal generated just 2.3 per cent of Spain’s electricity.

Endesa’s renewable energy arm Enel Green Power Espana (EGPE) is in the process of adding another 540 MW of wind capacity that it was awarded in the 2017 energy auction.

Currently it has 410 MW under construction. Its latest project is to add 20MW capacity to its Los Llanos onshore wind farm in the province of Burgos. Just this stage will cost €23 million.

€2 million medicine fraud SEVEN people including three doctors and a chemist have been arrested in Tenerife for a €2 million prescriptions fraud. The doctors would issue false prescriptions and the chemist collect subsidies from the health service despite never actually dispensing the drugs.

The method was for the doctors, who had access to the electronic prescriptions service, to find patients from another part of Tenerife who qualified for the maximum subsidies for medicines.

They would enter on the computer system that the unsuspecting patients had had a consultation

with them and generate a treatment plan. This would involve the prescription of high-value medicines. The prescriptions were printed out and handed over to a businessman who acted as intermediary. He would take them to the chemist in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The medicines were rarely dispensed, but were ‘sold’ repeatedly with the chemist claiming the subsidies each time.

The sale of these drugs reached such extremely high figures that the pharmacy invoiced for more doses of these medicines than every other chemist in the Canary Islands put together.

Chaos ensues with new laws on Spanish mortgage loans

By Antonio Flores Abogado/Lawyer LLM (Essex) Reg. Nº 4712 I.C.A. Málaga THE recently enacted Real Estate Credit Act 5/2019 has not left anyone indifferent; from those who applaud a reinforced protection for consumers - traditionally seen as the losers in the lender-borrower equation- to the more selfish who predict a sharp decline in real estate transactions due to the obvious hassle of formalising an even more complex procedure.

A quick glance to recent national news headlines show little sympathy for a law seemingly written up to prevent bank abuses in the last boom-crisis cycle: El Mundo: New Mortgage Law: Notaries in a mess, tougher lending criteria and… property sales dropping?

El Economista: The new Mortgage Law will make it difficult for younger borrowers.

Idealista: Mortgage law madness: last-minute rush of banks and notaries to avoid a slowdown in sales.

El Español: First cock up with the new Mortgage Law: banks and notaries fail to synchronise their electronic register.

But what’s the deal with this law and why are so many reporters up in arms? The answer is not straightforward: whilst most recognise the underlying bona fide mission of protecting consumers, intensified credit checks on borrowers and the intricate pre-contractual stage of new loan agreements can only be deterrents for new business.

To qualify for a loan, any borrower will have to visit a Notary office 10 days prior to closing on the purchase sale to undergo a test; in it, the Notary Public will have to evaluate the bor-

rower and his understanding of the document he/she will be signing in 10 days’ time.

More so, the Notary is to provide the borrower with two key documents from the bank: the ‘FEIN,’ which is the European Standardised Information Card and the ‘FiAE,’ a standardised Warnings Card that includes mortgage parameters (opening commission, early maturity due to non-payment and what expenses are applied in this case).

Not easy? Now think of a foreign buyer who speaks no Spanish, with a notary that equally does not understand foreign languages, and you have a deal breaker. Not to mention the unassumable 10-day period for busy investors and the yet-to-be defined role of lawyers here: advisers or just translators?

Time will tell.

Regions braced for more blazes THE volume of forest fires recently has fuelled concern about the risk in the coming summer months.

This year is already the fourth worst in a decade and as a dry and hot summer is again forecast, the number of forest fires is expected to increase.

As of May 31, a total of 35,000 hectares had been torched, 5,800 of which are wooded areas.

The areas said to be most at risk are the re gions of J a é n, H ue lva, Mal aga, Extre ma dura , M urc ia , s outher n León and Almeria.

Experts from the Association of Fire Pro-

tection Societies, Tecnifuego, claim the worse-than-normal risk of fires is due to the unusually warm weather, changes in forest management and an increasing amount of uninhabited rural areas.

They also point out that climate change has an impact, with a rise of ‘sixth generation’ fires. These happen due to changes in the tropospheric layer caused by past fires which propagate new fires that are ignited.

Authorities are calling for more preventative measures to be taken in high risk areas such as forest floor clearing and better rural land management, as well as extinguishing points and fire breaks.

Cancer campaign THE La Cala de Mijasbased council Foreigners Department has launched its annual summer skin cancer awareness and prevention campaign for this year.

Officials with the department said their main objective was to reduce the amount of tourists and residents getting sun burnt, which can lead to skin cancer in some cases. The campaign is now in its 11th year and is being undertaken with Marbella’s Costa del Sol Hospital.

Dr Magdalena de Troya, head of the hospital’s dermatology department, said

Mijas has been a ‘key player ’ in raising awareness of the need to guard against sunburn.

“This campaign is aimed particularly at foreign tourists because these are the people who are not as well prepared and less aware and are the ones who typically get sunburnt,” Dr Troya said.

Maica Alarcon, of the Socorrismo Malaga lifeguard association, said they would help by informing bathers on beaches about different grades of ultraviolet sunlight and its effects on health.

Summer rules ALERT to the fact that the beaches along the coast of Marbella are both an important tourist attraction, but also potential danger spots, the council has issued a set of rules for this summer effective immediately until October 15.

As far as parking is concerned it is not allowed to bring any vehicle onto any beach unless properly authorised and in addition it is strictly forbidden to pitch tents, hawk goods and refreshments for sale or to offer massage.

Similarly all rubbish must be placed in proper bins or taken home and any sport which is likely to inconvenience or irritate other beach users should not be undertaken whilst kite surfing is only allowed off the beach of Rio Real.

Fishing with poles may only take place between 8pm and 8am and if anyone wants to cook on a barbecue they will have to obtain advance permission from the council and clear up

properly after themselves.

Dogs are only allowed on designated dog beaches, they must be chipped and be kept under control at all times, wearing a muzzle if weighing more than 20 kilos and owners may have to show evidence that the animals have been dewormed and vaccinated.

In addition, any poop must be properly bagged and removed from the beach or placed in a proper receptacle if such is available.

Swimmers must not enter the water if a red flag is showing, nor should they swim by or dive in from docks and should keep well away from any area where boats are regularly berthed or enter and exit.

Those who hold concessions such as bars, kiosks and sun beds are required to ensure that the areas are probably marked out and are kept clean and tidy at all times.

Fight the parasite PARASITES are a class of living organisms that feed off nutrients and energy from their hosts. Around 85 per cent of us have parasites inside us, which is normal because they are everywhere. They can live in our organs and digestive system.

Some types of bacteria and parasites are benign when their numbers are controlled and balanced by other good bacteria in our bodies. However, when these parasites start to multiply and cause inflammation and other side effects, they result in what is considered a parasite infection.

Some parasite infections have little or no symptoms.

But the most common symptoms of parasites are: Chronic fatigue, digestive issues, skin infections, fever, nausea, unexplained weight loss, headaches.

Not only can some parasites cause disease, but they can also cause organ damage, and even suppress certain processes of our immune system. In addition, they can rob our bodies of essential nutrients, which can cause a lack of energy and lower our immune system further. *Pumpkin and sunflower seeds. One of my favourite super foods, very rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals as well, is one of the best parasite killers. I recommend this food in your menu every day. *Coconut is another super food which can be used for everything, particularly for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Coconut’s medium-chain-fatty acids are able to kill the intestinal parasites making coconut a great energy option. *Papaya and papaya seeds have antihelminthic and antiamoebic activities, meaning that they are very effective in

Marbella NEWS THIS Sunday sees the celebration of San Juan and will be the occasion for celebration along the beaches of Marbella.

This is the one time that bonfires may be lit on the beach and dating back to pagan festivals, young men are encouraged to jump through the fires in order to guarantee a good year.

One of the long-standing traditions is the cooking of sardines on stakes (Espetos) and there are 45 sites with metal boats stretching from San Pedro Alcantara to Las Chapas which can be used.

You can’t just turn up and slap your sardines over the fire, but you have to pay a fee and obtain a permit to cook at your chosen spot.

Previously, it has been necessary to apply in person for such a permit but now, the council has arranged that it is possible to do this online.

Simply visit the Marbella Council website, download the form and then email the completed application together with your DNI to activi dades.medioambiente@marbella.es and your permit will be emailed back, subject to available space.

DATING back to the 17th century, the Trapiche del Prado, which was a sugar mill has for some time been in disrepair although classified as an Asset of Cultural Interest.

works was â‚Ź10 million and the mayor confirmed that the money would be available thanks to funds released following a number of corruption trials where local individuals were convicted.

Work has already started to

clean up the building and to ensure that it is safe as the walls have been stabilised so if formal approval is received from the Andalucian government, work could commence quickly and be finished within two years.

This is now considered to be urgent, so not only will the city have a new historic attraction but it will be able to house a number of elderly residents.

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

AS of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘opt-out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of potential donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures - ONT).

According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home.

It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation.

Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years.

Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas transplants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent).

According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day.

In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid-2020 goal.

In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs increased to 74, from 48 a year earlier.

Lung and heart are viable for four-six hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and ligaments can also be donated.

A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people.

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

If in any doubt, seek professional help.

PICKED UP: The migrants were found in the Alboran Sea (file photo).

Migrant rescue COAST GUARDS have rescued more than 100 migrants from two boats in the Alboran Sea, according to an NGO. The Caminando Foundation said they were alerted to the 111 migrants by their families. The NGO then informed authorities and Spain’s Salvamento Maritimo dispatched rescue boats and helicopters to pick them up.

The people aboard the boats were found in rough seas and were sailing in bad weather, a coast guard spokesperson said.

Migrant rights activist Helena Maleno

Garzon said she was told three people had gone missing from one boat which carried 53 people.

Those aboard the boat were taken to the port of Motril in Granada Province, Andalucia. The 58 migrants in the other boat returned to Morocco by its own means, according to the Caminando Foundation.

It comes as at least 8,523 people have arrived in Spain after crossing the Western Mediterranean migration route so far this year, International Organisation for Migration (IOM) figures show.

4.7 million fake products seized SPANISH police were involved in an international operation that le d to more tha n 4.7 mil l i on counterfeit products being seized.

Investigators across 18 countries had 16 400 social media accounts suspended and 3,300 webs ite s s e lling fa ke goods wer e closed in the EU-wide operation called Aphrodite II. The online fa ke goods m arketers were selling a large variety of counterfeit items including clothes and accessories, sports equipment, illegal IPTV set-top boxes, medicines, spare car parts, mobile phones, miscellaneous electronic devices, perfumes and cosmetics.

The operation led to the arrest of more than 30 suspects and reported 110 others to respective judicial authorities.

According to Europol: “Fake products sold on social media can be extremely dangerous. Lacking any quality control and not complying legal norms, fake toys, medicines, body care products, fake spare car parts, inks and material used to produce imitation luxury products and clothes can be harmful to consumer health.”

DOWN: Unemployment fell by 105,000.

Fall in jobless THE jobless total in Spain dropped by 105,000 people between January and the end of April to a total of 3,165,000.

This made the unemployment rate 13.8 per cent compared to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average of 5.2 per cent, according to latest data.

This makes Spain’s rate the highest in the OECD if Greece is discounted, as no April figures are available for that country (in March the figure was 18.1 per cent).

The EU recorded an average rate of 6.4 per cent and the Eurozone nations 7.6 per cent.

By gender, in Spain the unemployment rate among women is 15.8 per cent for women compared to 12.1 per cent for men. Unemployment among young people aged 15 to 24 reached a rate of 32.7 per cent in Spain, above the OECD average (11.1 per cent), and for those aged over 25 it was 12.4 per cent.

FINLAND is set to begin its stint with the EU Presidency from July, with the country set to lead the work of the Council of the EU decisionmaking body for half a year following Romania’s time in the role.

GERMANY raised more than €6.5 billion from an auction which saw companies bid for parts of the country’s new 5G network, according to the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) which said a record 497 rounds of bidding had taken place.

Army ‘ready’

Police probe

THE Finnish army could mobilise around 280,000 soldiers to defend the country if necessary but NATO membership is ruled out for the time being, President Sauli Niinisto told US media outlet Bloomberg as tensions between Baltic countries and Russia remain.

POLICE have arrested one current and three former officers in Schwerin last week in connection with the alleged diverting of ammunition to ‘preppers,’ people who stockpile supplies and build shelters in anticipation of catastrophic future events.

FINANCE

Regulator to take on cartels

THE European Commission (EC) has approved plans for Spain’s Santander and Mapfre to create a new bancassurance company for vehicles and small firms.

The EC said the firms would be allowed to join together for the deal after finding it would not pose problems to the European Economic Area. The link between the two firms would have a limited impact on the Spanish market meaning competition problems were not likely, the EC added.

It comes after the two companies agreed to launch the service in January.

STAT OF €1.4 bn WEEK

The amount Spanish telecommunications company Telefonica has spent on bidding for a share of Germany’s new 5G network since March, giving it 10 megahertz in the 2 gigahertz band.

New highs for staff absences

Madrid leads in growth forecast THE Madrid Region is forecast to have the highest rate of economic growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) terms this year, according to a new study.

The Foundation of Savings Banks’ (Funcas) report on regional growth forecast that the economy of the region would grow by 2.8 per cent this year.

Cantabria is expected to have the second highest with 2.6 per cent, followed by Navarra with 2.5, Castilla-La Mancha with 2.4 and Galicia, 2.3.

Andalucia is expected to grow by

By Joe Gerrard 2.2 per cent. The Balearic Islands and the regions of Murcia and Valencia are forecast growth rates of 2 per cent.

Extremadura is expected to see the lowest rate of growth with 1.8 per cent. Castilla y Leon and La Rioja are forecast to have the joint-second lowest rates with 1.9 per cent.

The Spanish rate of GDP growth is predicted to be 2.2 per cent this year, according to government figures quoted in the report.

The data comes as National Institute of Statistics (INE) figures from

last year also forecast high growth rates in Madrid and Cantabria. Funcas’ new study took those forecasts into account as well as data collected at the end of 2018 when growth data for Spain was revised down.

The Foundation said Madrid, Navarra and the Basque Country’s growth could see sharper slowdowns than Spain has experienced overall.

It comes as officials and economists continue to expect lower GDP growth for this year than earlier predictions due to global economic uncertainty caused by Brexit and USChina-EU trade war.

A TOTAL of 753,000 working days were lost due to worker absences in 2018, the highest number on record, costing Spanish companies an estimated €6.9 billion a new report showed.

Adecco’s report found 2018’s absence rate stood at 5.3 per cent.

The figure, which refers to the percentage of hours missed in a work day, tops the previous record set in 2009 of 5.2 per cent.

The rise was driven by an increase in illnesses and out-ofwork accidents which numbered more than 5.2 million cases, the report found.

BUSINESS EXTRA

Not the time to privatise BANKIA President Jose Ignacio Goirigolzarri has said now is not the time for the government to sell its roughly 60.6 per cent stake in the bank because of low interest rates and added privatisation should wait until conditions change.

DROP: Sales fell by 3 per cent in 2018.

Decathlon sales fall SALES at the sports store chain Decathlon fell by 3 per cent to €1.5 billion in 2018, with net profits down 19 per cent year-onyear to €97 million.

The company’s latest figures showed the falls came as Decathlon invested €35 million into its Spanish operation last year.

Company CEO Javier Lopez said that investment and changes in stores were responsible for the decrease.

It comes as the company plans to invest a further €41 million in Spain this year. Almost two-thirds of the funds are set to go towards its digitisation project which aims to speed up Decathlon’s delivery service.

Wage rise SPANISH government officials have reached an agreement with the CSIF public sector workers union to raise wages by 0.25 per cent next month on top of an increase linked to economic output (Gross Domestic Product, GDP).

Buying land SUPERMARKET chain Mercadona has bought six plots of land in the Parc Sagunt area of the Valencia Region for €16.6 million as part of plans to build a new logistics warehouse, adding 136,328 square metres to its current holdings there.

China woos Spanish companies A TOTAL of 50 Chinese investors and entrepreneurs travelled to Madrid last week to meet Spanish companies as Beijing continues to seek international backing for a global infrastructure project.

The meeting involved more than 300 Spanish and Chinese companies. It comes as China tries to woo companies for its new Belt and Road initiative, a series of infrastructure programmes in

more than 152 countries.

China is thought to be trying to win over Spanish companies because of the country’s economic ties to Latin America and North Africa.

But some Spanish investors are wary. A KMPG report on the Chinese trip found weak institutions, an unfavourable business climate and the political structure of the East Asian country represented risk factors for Spanish companies.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I TRULY am becoming heartily peeved with people writing to remind me that I am ‘also an immigrant.’ Usually these informants are new readers and, although I am delighted to welcome them to my scribbles, it also means they have not read a number of my past columns in which I have more than covered this particular subject.

So to all the wags who still think they are being clever, and occasionally quite nasty in their observations, I am completely aware that I am ‘also an immigrant.’ I am actually quite a proud immigrant. Many years ago, due to personal reasons (well chronicled in my books), I left the UK and, after some years in the Middle East, moved to Spain where I have resided for the last 35 years.

This country has been good to me.

It has educated four of my children, two of which have married Spanish locals, and my knowledge of the language is moderately passable. I originally brought some £50,000 into the country (which in 1983 was no small sum!) and, through unfortunate timing and various business ventures, managed to lose most of it over the next two or three years.

During my time here, I have integrated to the best of my ability, helped support the local tourist industry and earned myself a Spanish pension. Although politically minded, I have never seriously

FEATURE

A proud immigrant

PATRIOTIC: “This country (Spain) has been good to me… I am proud of my heritage.” involved myself in Spanish politics or tried to interfere with their culture or the running of the country. I feel that as an immigrant I have two choices. Stay and accept all that my host country has to offer, or leave!

Through it all, I have however remained a true

British patriot. I am proud of my heritage. Proud also of the fact that both my father and grandfather, laid their lives on the line with millions of others to preserve Britain’s freedom and democracy. I am also disgusted by the way the country of my birth is slowly being brought to its knees by

ungrateful foreign spongers, greedy billionaires and dubious immigrants, who take advantage of its hospitality and, under the guise of diversity, would destroy its culture altogether.

I am constantly enraged by deceitful, self-serving politicians, who either have some ulterior motive or are naïve almost beyond belief. I am a staunch Brexiteer. I am firmly convinced that only by ridding ourselves of the yolk of Brussels will our misguided children learn to stand on their own two feet, respect their country and regain the pride and patriotism that inspired the youngsters of yore to fight, and die for what they believed in.

One thing I do try to avoid - although it is sometimes difficult - is hypocrisy. I do always endeavour to practise what I preach. I have nothing against immigration. In fact I believe it can often be a good thing. Providing the visitors retain the same attitude and respect toward their host country as I maintain myself.

Unfortunately the majority of aliens that are pouring into Europe at this time appear to have a different agenda altogether. I am fervently convinced that if our so called leaders don’t wake up soon it will all be too late. Sadly, I fear it already may be.

Keep the faith.

Love Leapy.

The real secret of these heaters is the computer-age technology in the form of extruded aluminium in the construction of the heating element. This material and the design creates a huge surface a r e a f o r h e a t t r a n s f e r, w h i c h means more air can be heated for less cost.

Neater Heaters use convection principles and are designed so that the electricity

you put into the heater is converted to heat as cheaply as possible.

When you turn on the heater the element warms up rapidly and heats the air around it, this air rises and draws more c o l d a i r i n t o t h e h e a t e r. B e cause the element is extremely efficient and is designed to have a huge surface area, a large quantity of air is heated very quickly.

If your room has the correct sized heater it will take about 20 minutes to warm up from cold, after which the heater e a s e s o ff a n d w o r k s a t a b o u t two-thirds capacity, (depending on various external influences).

Our heaters are not only efficient, effective, and economical, but as you would expect from a Scandinavian

product, they are extremely stylish and practical.

There is a model that will suit anyone, whether it is the s t a n d a r d A d a x H e a t e r, o r t w o of their best-selling models, the BEHA, and the NEO which now come with integ r a t e d Wi - F i , s o t h a t y o u c a n control your heaters easily via a Wi - F i a p p , b u t s t i l l b e i n g able to control them manually if preferred.

Also available is the trendy original style Neo with digital controls and a choice of colours and if you are limited for wall space, then available for purchase are factory designed feet to enable the heater to be freestanding.

H o w e v e r, t w o y e a r s a g o w e went one stage further and

added the T u r k i s h - m a d e Vi g o heater. This heater shares the design technology and ethos of the current Neater Heaters, but it has two differences: The Vigo comes with a carrying handle, wall bracket, and feet included in the price; The larger Vigo models take up less wall space and go up to 2.5kw.

They also have a digital display which indicates the reduced wattage that the heater regulates once the room has reached the desired temperature, thus saving more money through reduced running costs.

HEATERS: Stylish and practical.

R.I.P. Windows 7?

EWN 61

Back-door Windows

Will a third of the world’s PCs simply stop in January, asks Terence Kennedy MY wife’s venerable laptop is under bombardment right now, and the perpetrator is Microsoft.

The reason: she’s clinging onto the ‘obsolete’ Windows 7.

Read their dire warnings and you could easily believe her computing world will implode when Windows 7 ‘expires’ a few months from now. It will be no more, cease to be, ex-Windows.

That’s radical talk, given that a third of the world’s users still swear by what many believe was Microsoft’s best-ever operating s y s t e m . S u r e l y t h e y c a n ’t j u s t flick the switch on January 14?

T h e y c a n ’t , a n d t h e y w o n ’t .

What they will do is simply freeze Windows 7 in time from that date. No more patches, updates, bug fixes, security solutions.

If that doesn’t bother you, you can indeed keep using it forever, or at least until the computer itself dies. At which stage you will be unable to activate it again on

CLOSING WINDOWS: Ceasing to be? another machine even if you’ve got handfuls of kosher serial numbers, tough luck.

Microsoft has had a hard sell trying to move users to the allsinging, all-dancing Windows 10, the final number in the progression as 10 now just keeps getting updated and improved forever more.

T h e y h a v e m a n a g e d t o p e rsuade 56 per cent of us to move t o Wi n d o w s 1 0 , a t t h e l a t e s t

count. But a stubborn 33 per cent swear by 7, and then there are the oddball diehards: 6 per cent on the dog’s dinner which was Windows 8, half a per cent still on the truly terrible Vista, and a luddite 1.6 per cent clinging on to the ancient XP for dear life.

I n c l u d i n g B r i t a i n ’s g o o d o l d NHS, bless their cotton swabs.

I n m a n y c a s e s y o u c a n ’t u p grade because your hardware simply won’t handle it.

If you remember Microsoft’s k i n d o ff e r o f a f r e e m i g r a t i o n from 7 to 10, that boat sailed a long time ago. Last time I looked it costs about a hundred smackers to make the move. Or for not much more you could buy a cheap computer with 10 pre-installed.

The gloom and doom scenario for sticking with 7 is that if an unpatched vulnerability is found (at this late stage, really?), hackers will exploit it, and Microsoft won’t fix it.

But your anti-virus program (you do have one, don’t you?) will keep updating to keep you safe, and many of your other apps like browsers, e-mail and office suite, can continue to be updated (‘patched’ in the jargon) in the usual way.

So: like the famous Mark Twain quote, rumours of Windows 7’s death have been greatly exaggerated. Happy obsolescence.

IF you’re feeling besieged by Microsoft’s warnings, ask yourself how long you expect your computer to last.

Most PCs pre-installed with Windows 7 will be between seven and 10 years old. That’s a pretty good run in an era when technology can have the life of a geriatric fruit-fly.

Actually buying Windows 10 retail is pretty bad value, given that manufacturers of new computers pay Microsoft just a fraction of that price to pre-install it on their machines.

There is another route.

Join me in the shadows and I’ll tell you.

You could take your chance buying an ‘OEM’ (factory-install) copy for €10 or up, openly on offer from plenty of absolutely legit sites like Amazon.

I have, I did, and they worked. Mostly.

I AM angry. Again. So angry I need to lie down in a dark room and let my heart rate stabilise a bit. Meanwhile, why not flick ahead to the crossword page or go and make that cup of coffee…

Hey, me again. Apologies for the short break but pleased to report the heart rate’s just about stabilised. But why so angry? The reason is what I just read about the inquest into the London Bridge terror attack. How victims of the terrorists were left disastrously in the lurch by paramedics.

Health and Safety legislation has undeniably saved many lives and prevented many serious injuries. But the underlying problem is the threat of lawsuits, the consequent blame culture and closing of ranks when an emergency service worker makes a genuine mistake whilst carrying out his job.

Those criticised for their ‘H&S caution’ will be hamstrung by the innumerable protocols imposed by managers when they started work. In turn, these managers will have been fully apprised of their responsibility towards the organisation to cover its back and avoid running up huge costs from frivolous lawsuits or increased insurance premiums.

SOS! Political correctness (aka elf ‘n’ safety) gone mad

IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man OVER the years the dreaded buffet breakfast in hotels has become the norm. In my opinion it is absolutely revolting.

First of all, I can’t do them because of my inability to stand still long enough to get anything, but also i’'s the food itself. I enjoy a hot breakfast and if I’m not in the mood for that I have a yoghurt and a bit of fruit. But if you don’t get there the moment the buffet opens, the hot food becomes overcooked, dried out and lukewarm. The fried eggs are dried out lumps of ... well, egg I guess. I’ve also been reliably informed that the scrambled eggs are not made by stirring cracked eggs into a bowl. They are, in fact, in most places, powdered egg which is real eggs cooked then dehydrated, packed up in bags and shipped out to the hotels.

The baked beans are all dried out … you get the idea. Then there’s people that load their plates with a mixture of foods that just no-one would ever eat in their

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they call AGM by e-mail?

Spain’s Horizontal Law specifies the procedure for calling the AGM in Article 16 and distribution is defined in Article 9. There is no mention of e-mail communication. The AGM is a very important meeting for owners. To notify it by e-mail does not give a reliable proof of service as owners can change their address and forget to notify the community. Owners may not have a way to print any documents. Notification of the AGM could be e-mailed but should the total package with the Agenda and Budget be sent in accordance with the HPA Article?

R P (Costa del Sol)

MEMORIALS: Placed at Westminster Bridge.

Lots of finger pointing, but it all boils down to a failure of leadership. Endemic in police, fire and clearly ambulance service, too.

Now I’m NOT advocating Spain’s, let’s just say, more ‘relaxed’ attitude to health and safety. As witnessed by the opening (and immediate closure) in Estepona of the country’s longest (38-metre) urban slide following injuries with users hurtling down at breakneck speed and flying off the end.

‘How long will it take for a drunk foreign tourist to die on it?’ asked one Estepona Twitter user. Ouch! Miaow! ‘What a fantastic idea this new steep slide between streets is,’ wrote another. ‘Dentists are going to be rubbing

their hands together.’

Had this been constructed in the UK, just imagine what the elf ‘n’ safety folk would mandate: extra-long runoff and extra-reinforced guard rails, lollipop ladies to control access PLUS compulsory wearing of protective padded clothing and users signing liability waivers. Again, nuff said...

own home. A dried out egg with a lump of melon on the same plate alongside a chocolate croissant with a slice of smoked salmon and a baby bell. I prefer the old fashioned way where a member of staff serves you from a menu. I don’t want a coffee machine to help myself.

Remember, most of these places are charging 10 to 20 euros a pop for this stuff. I will tolerate a selection of cold stuff for the continental breakfast, but anything hot has to come out of the kitchen freshly cooked.

Here’s a suggestion for all film and TV mini series makers. It’s something that has bugged me for a while now. At the end of a few shows and movies lately, up pops an ‘in memoriam’ notice naming a person or, in the case of Blacklist, two people, whose names are not immediately recognisable as anyone in the show, that it has been dedicated to. So off we go to Google who they are and usually do find out ourselves. My suggestion is if you are going to give them a mention as a mark of respect do it properly and tell us who they are and why they are worthy of an ‘in memoriam’ mention. Tell us a bit about them - not a two second on screen flash.

If a job’s worth doing, do it properly.

The Horizontal Law considers notificaYOU AND THE tion of the AGM to LAW IN SPAIN be properly completed when the property owner is informed by post at his apartment or at another address in Spain, and the notice is posted on the community bulletin board.

In today’s world, where many owners live in other countries and are often absent, more and more communities are voting to allow notification by e-mail.

This helps to ensure that the absent members, as well as those in Spain, are properly informed of items on the official agenda.

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

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

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

They can also contact an English-speaking minister or celebrant to conduct the service or arrange repatriation to the UK which will be organ-

DEAR Editor, For those of you that do not know, the leader of the Liberal Democrats is a man called Sir Vince Cable.

This man has been the leader of this political party for over two years and during that time I do not think I have heard him speak once. I have not seen him in the newspapers, heard him on radio or television, nothing, nada, zip, zero.

And yet, as he has resigned and finishes his term, his party is having its best run, ever. And they have achieved this without saying much at all.

So maybe this should be a lesson for any aspiring politician and indeed our current lot of motor mouths should perhaps heed this ethos.

It would be far better if you just shut up.

Being well served WHEN we first came to the Costa Blanca to explore where we wanted to live, we stayed in Denia.

Now, although it was February, it was warm enough to eat outside and we duly ordered off the menu, not realising that there was a ‘menu del dia’ for €10.

We got talking to some lovely Spanish people on the next table and I was amazed at both the quality of food that they were served and the price; €10 for all that, why that was roughly the price of a chippy supper!

They had a starter of a lovely fresh salad and then a magnificent cauldron of what I now know to be Arroz al Horno. I will remember the smell of that dish for a very long time and then they had dessert, as well.

What a great concept ‘menu del dia’ is. I love them.

Life’s a beach I HAVE to take my hat off to the council and beach workers in Fuengirola, Malaga. This morning I was walking my dog along the promenade at 7am and it was a hive of industrial activity.

There were vehicles moving and flattening the sand, council workers picking up and clearing litter and laying walkways, bins were being emptied, beach hut staff were sorting beds and cleaning pathways.

It just seemed kind of ironic that so much physical preparation was being made so that members of the public could sit back and relax.

Right on track MY wife and I recently travelled from Xeraco, just north of Gandia for a couple of nights in Valencia.

We parked for nothing in the station car park, the station ticket lady was charming, the tickets were only just over €8 for the two of us, for a journey of just over an hour. The train was on time, it was clean, even the loos were useable and there were security guards on board for part of the journey.

We arrived in Valencia relaxed, but then compared this journey to British trains (BR sandwiches, not getting a seat, toilets that were disgusting etc).

Indeed, a couple of

FINES of thousands of euros handed down to three feminist protesters under Spain’s so-called ‘gag law’ once again throw a spotlight on restrictions on demonstrations.

The women face paying up to €2,000 for breaking the Law for the Protection of Citizen Security, the gag law’s official name, following International Women’s Day marches on March 8.

The then conservative Partido Popular (PP) government argued it would help keep protesters safer during demonstrations by curbing violence when the law was passed in 2015.

But opposition parties, including the now-ruling Partido Socialista (PSOE), activists and NGOs claimed it granted sweeping powers to police to target protests.

The law stops activists preventing evictions, taking ‘unauthorised’ pictures of police officers and restricts protests outside the Congress of Deputies and Senate buildings.

The human rights NGO Amnesty International said in a report last year that the state had made at least €25 million from fines since the law was introduced. Fines range from €100 to €600,000 for the most serious offences.

Amnesty International claimed the law has been used to target journalists and legitimate protests.

PSOE pledged to reform the law after taking power last year but it remains largely untouched.

PSOE previously claimed the law represented a return to a ‘police state.’ Pressure should be piled on them now they look set to stay in government to repeal it.

Now we want to hear your views.

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE

Paper bags play a huge part in the reduction of CO2 emissions

Spanish and Moroccan coast guards rescue more than 100 migrants in Mediterranean

What is the point in using paper disposable bags when you have to put into it; eggs, with a plastic carton, meat wrapped in plastic trays, cheese in plastic wrapping, etc. Stop the ‘first level’ plastic.

It’s much more than the ‘carry home’ bag.

David C

Let them in, feed them, clothe them, give them jobs, housing. What about a helping hand instead of being nasty? Governments could help if they really wanted to. It’s obviously so terrible where these guys live that they risk life and limb to cross the Med. Gordon O

Prostitution ring arrests in Santiago de Compostela Good work, hope there are many more arrests to release these poor ladies, what evil people do to another human being is despicable.

Gill R

Don’t rescue dogs from overheating - call the police And if it was a baby or child or anyone locked in a car would they expect us to do the same? We’d be accused of manslaughter or something if we just left them to die waiting for the police, so why should we leave a dog because the police have better things to do!

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

LEO (July 24 - August 23)

The last time that you sat down and thought about your finances it was confusing.

Things are a lot simpler now.

Keep emotions and the needs of others out of the equation.

Balance is what this week is all about. Get the percentages right now and it is plain sailing for the immediate future.

At last it is clear that the future holds something quite exciting. Looking back during the past few years there has been a build-up to this moment. Treading a new path is half the story. There is much to be discovered both outside and inside your sphere.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)

Something comes to your attention that makes you feel both anger and injustice. As you are urged to speak out and put your cards on the table, you hesitate. Be sure to have the true facts of the matter because this gives you real confidence.

Your heart is saying ‘Let’s get out and have some fun.’ Your head is saying ‘Okay, but let’s leave it until later.’ Which is right? Well, one thing is for sure, emphasis on finances is restraining.

You are, however, building on something strong for the future.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There is a strong urge to be up and doing something to further your artistic needs. Be sure that you know what is important. Keep it simple and aim straight for it. There may be other options to be explored, but do not go off at a tangent. To do so would see you have many fingers in many pies but making little real progress. Trust your instincts.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you are feeling more confident in many ways, there is also a secret insecurity.

There is a strange emotional atmosphere this week, which perplexes you. An unusual feeling that you need to change your surroundings cannot be put down to a seasonal 'nesting' instinct.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Waiting for just the right time to do and say things this week can produce miracles.

Spontaneity may be your watchword but forward planning is where real progress is at the moment. It's not a week to expect cooperation from others.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) If you are James Bond, I see no surprises in the week ahead. If you are not, then I certainly do. Something quite shocking crosses your path, so be cautious in your approach to new situations. Keep your eyes and ears open and be prepared to seek advice.

‘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.’

LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY Saturday June 15

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) What others see as our way ahead is not always the path which we want to tread. It would be easy to be cosy and not take a chance. Is that what you really want?

Outside influences are heavy and pressing at times.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Be sure not to put up with tedious comments. Someone is trying to rile you. Who are they to think this way? It is foolish and impossible to please this person. Avoid them and move on to something out of their sphere. A few days away clears your head and gives a more balanced picture.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Who wants you to go where and who wants you to do what? Each day seems to be spoken for before it arrives.

Spending your life like this means running out of credit on your health. Do not neglect your well-being for the wishes of others.

This is, however, no time to compromise your dreams or emotional needs. Taking a bright view and a chance now seems unusual to those round you.

BIRTHDAYS

A FABRIC merchant in Ancient Baghdad is forced to confront past mistakes and resist the temptation of second chances when a tear appears in time itself.

Far into the future, an alien scientist discovers something that will change his people and all reality forever. Elsewhere, a woman who looks after artificial intelligence for more than 20 years as the lines between technology and life become increasingly blurred.

The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate, Exhalation and The Lifecycle of Software Objects are some of the many short tales that invite us to confront deep and profound issues. What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human? What is our relationship with time and with our past?

These questions and more are posed by Ted Chiang in his new collection of short stories, Exhalation.

JORIS PLU AS I promised last week I will now give you some tips on how to love yourself or love yourself even more if you find that you already do so in a good way.

By doing this you will awaken the real inspirer within you. That very important piece of work inside of you that will help you tremendously to get you forward in life in a positive, upbeat way.

You can look at the inspirer as your inner voice if you want, the one who knows where you want to be heading in life. The one who is in reality you.

I have explained before that one thing you could do is look into a mirror daily and say out loud that you love yourself, putting a big smile on your face at the same time. I would suggest you keep on doing this for the rest of your life.

Believe me, before you know it you make it a daily habit and will

The inspirer within you

LOVE YOURSELF: Be your own inspirer. do this naturally. This is a very good first tip.

Another thing you can do to love yourself more is to take a little booklet that you can use every evening before you go to bed. Start writing down in bullet points what has

happened to you that day in a positive way. Those things you were happy about, things or people that made you smile. And by doing so, be thankful for it all.

The next morning you read quickly what you wrote the evening before and then you start your day. When you do this daily you will place your brain in a thankful positive mode and start loving yourself more and more.

A very good method of how to love yourself more is living in the now. Realising that the past, even yesterday, is over (and out). You cannot change what has happened.

Maybe it has influenced you, but it really is the past.

Same with tomorrow, the future. So what is left is this moment. The exact moment you are in right now. That is the only moment that exists in your life. If you practise on a daily basis, step by step, putting into your mind that only now exists, you

will have a more intense life.

Also feel with all your senses every moment and be thankful for them. Look at them in a positive way whenever you can and you will also, with this method, start to give more love to yourself.

With all this in mind, know that the real inspirer is within yourself.

All the knowledge you need to move your life forward in the way you want it is already in you, in every person on this planet. You just have to feel it, to trust it. Once you can do this, a new world will open for you. You will start living the life you want. So let the inspirer do his thing now. Believe in yourself and go for it.

You are supposed to have a wonderful life on this earth. Enjoy it, every day.

ONE of the best and worst things about modern medicine is that it moves so FAST! The ‘best’ treatment a year ago can, in the light of new research, become not just outmoded, but dangerous. We are learning all the time.

And doctors, particularly GPs have a HUGE burden of education to keep up with. Particularly all those life and death diseases that you really, REALLY need them to be up to date on.

One study in the BMJ about a decade ago estimated the reading required to stay up to date for a GP at 80 hours a WEEK! That’s just not feasible.

Back pain however is my specialist subject! So I get to do ALL the reading.

The science of treating back pain A series of papers published in The Lancet last year caused quite a stir as it explicitly said that most medical professionals were offering ineffective and potentially harmful treatments for back pain!

Prof Martin Underwood, from War-

Back pain treatment you’re doing it wrong! wick University, who is one of the 31 authors of The Lancet papers, said: “Our current treatment approaches are failing to reduce the burden of back pain disability.

Quite a lot of people get exposed to high-tech medical and invasive procedures. There’s very little evidence base to support their use.”

That puts a lot of pressure on you, the patient, to choose the right person to trust.

10 things to do right!

1. Your back is stronger than you think - the spine is strong and not easily damaged, your discs are tougher than car tyres!

2. You rarely need a scan - in fact more and more research says they make it worse!

3. Get moving! Bed rest does NOT help. Gentle, consistent movement as

4. Bend and lift at will - there is NO specific movement that makes damage worse (but there are some that might be uncomfortable for YOU).

5. Skip the sit up and do plank pose to strengthen your core.

6. Painkillers just mask the symptom they DON’T treat the cause.

7. Surgery has lower success rates than rehabilitation.

8. Sleep is tricky to get but helps!

Do everything you can to get as much as possible.

9. Pain does NOT equal tissue damage (it’s more complicated than that!).

Which detox regime is the best?

THERE are numerous types of detox available, promoting a variety of health benefits, while containing some standard elements. Whichever detox you choose, the first thing to do is lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alco-

hol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars and saturated fats, which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to the healing process.

Some believe the detox can be taken to the next level by minimising the use of

chemical cleaners and chemical based healthcare products like shampoos and deodorants.

Stress can have a hugely adverse impact on the body, triggering stress hormones, so it is important during a detox to keep your mind calm. A detox routine may include fasting on liquids for two days, followed by a carefully-planned five-day detox diet to allow the digestive system to rest.

Popular detox regimes include: simple fruit and veggie detox, smoothie or juice cleanse, sugar or hypoallergenic detox.

HEALTH & BEAUTY • Dry Skin - Oils, such as avocado, olive, and coconut, can be very hydrating. Apply to your face or your body and they penetrate the skin for long-lasting moisturising.

You can also mix them into your existing treatment cream.

• Warts - Simply cover your wart with a crushed garlic clove and secure it with a bandage. After 20 minutes, remove the clove and rinse. Repeat twice daily for a week.

• Mosquitos - Combine 20 drops eucalyptus oil, 20 drops cedarwood oil, 10 drops tea tree oil, 10 drops geranium oil, and two drops almond oil. Apply to skin as needed, avoiding eye area.

Test on a small piece of skin first.

• Indigestion - Try peppermint, peppermint tea, and peppermint oil are essential for relieving stomach issues like indigestion, nausea, gas, and cramps.

• Acne - Take five uncoated aspirin pills and add one drop of water on each to make them crumble. Mix with manuka honey, which is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and apply

Not what you eat, but what you don’t IN the White Mountains of California there exists a 5,000-year-old bristlecone pine.

It is the oldest living organism on Earth and led to the discovery of telomerease and a Nobel Prize award for Elizabeth Blackburn in 2009. Telomerease is a little (enzyme) guy running around the bodies of living organisms. It protects DNA by rebuilding telomeres, protective caps at the end of chromosomes which function a lot like caps on a shoelace.

Humans have telomerase, though not as abundantly as the bristlecone pine of California. The key to longevity, and what’s more vitality into later life, is for telomerase to keep rebuilding your telomeres. Without telomerase DNA can get damaged. If DNA becomes damaged

eventually the cell will die and we are but the sum of our parts. How much telomerase floats around our cells is significantly affected by what we eat.

Animal derived proteins and saturated fat are the key criminals which will shave down telomeres.

Leucine is a protein found in eggs, dairy, deli meats, chicken and fish. Leucine eats away at telomeres ageing their diner (three-four servings per week) by up to 14 years.

Saturated fats like palmitic acid, found in salmon, can be toxic to cells.

This has been demonstrated in heart cells, pancreatic cells and brain cells.

Eliminating only 1 per cent of saturated fat calories in our diet can add a whole year of length onto our telomeres.

The art of living MARBELLA MOMENTS

BY NICOLE KING I WAS pleasantly surprised to bump into so many art lovers and artists at the official launch of the Javier Melus Pop Art collection in the Kempinski hotel last week.

Javier ’s Madrid yuppie style and Spanish good looks captured as much attention as did his pop art.

No one was expecting such a well dressed and well groomed man to be responsible for street art.

However his elegant citystyle actually made sense when the artist himself described the “publishing background” to his conceptions: a mix of acrylics, col-

lages, sprays and cartoon characters that, once compiled, apparently have no hidden meanings and certainly none of the conspirator theory undertones being conjectured as to the ‘why’ behind the SpongeBob, Wonder Woman and Pepsi Cola combo as an example.

Anyway, you will have time to see for yourself and c o me u p w ith y o u r o w n theory, as the exhibition will remain open until mid July.

Another art gathering that I think we will all enjoy is the first edition of FestiArte. This interactive event has been organised by the Cultural Department of the Marbella Town Hall and takes place over four days, starting today!

This ‘happening’ is locat-

ed in the beautiful Alameda Park and continues down the Avenida del Mar in Marbella, which is a fabulous stroll from the town centre down to the ocean even on a normal day.

The exhibitors’ stalls will be open from 4.30pm to 11.00pm every day, but on Sunday only until 9pm.

CASSANDRA NASH A WEEKLY LOOK - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

SO the unsayable and the unthinkable have been said and thought.

Pedro Sanchez has hinted that he isn’t ruling out another election.

The Partido Popular and Ciudadanos should shoulder the responsibility of abstaining and ensuring Spain’s governability, he said.

In fact we all know that they aren’t going to do that because politicians here and elsewhere (naming no names but the UK instantly comes to mind) no longer centre their efforts on governability.

Spain needs a government and it needs one that can last four years and the PP, Cs will do everything to ensure that it does not.

And that won’t be because they believe this benefits the population and its welfare but because it furthers their own personal agendas and ambitions.

Home truths SHOULD there be another general election, it would be Pablo Iglesias’ responsibility as much as Pablo Casado’s or Albert Rivera’s.

www.nicoleking.es

as supporting each other and our local community, for me, is truly the art of living!

www.zerohero.es

Agendas and ambitions The Podemos supremo should do everything possible to help Sanchez form a government but continues to hint that his 42 seats in the national parliament merit a ministry or two.

The Podemos spokeswoman Irene Montero, also Iglesias’ partner, said very sternly not long ago, “Spain doesn’t need egotism, individualism and self-sufficiency.”

Presumably she was referring to the PSOE, but she needs to tell that to Iglesias instead.

Making it easy DURING the election campaign, Isabel Diaz Ayuso came out with the usual family-sanctifying promises that we’ve all heard from the Partido

Popular before.

Unborn children will be reserved school places, that sort of thing.

But she made sense when she said her boss Pablo Casado and MPs from the PP should abstain when Pedro Sanchez makes his investiture bid.

Esperanza Aguirre, former PP minister, PP president of the Madrid Community and PP national secretary general said much the same thing.

Both pointed out that the PSOE - to the disgust of Pedro Sanchez - enabled Mariano Rajoy to form a government in October 2016 by abstaining.

Both women described facilitating a new socialist government as the lesser of two evils that would stop Sanchez from going over to the dark side ie the Catalan separatist parties.

Singer, not the song THE PP’s not-quite-so-bad showing in the regional and local elections has given Pablo Casado fresh wind.

That was because people voted for the candidates - many of whom they were familiar with or knew - not the ideology. It certainly wasn’t because they suddenly decided they liked him more on May 26 than they did on April 28.

So what happened? These days no-one in the PP gets their knickers in a twist over anything that Aguirre says, but the party secretary general Teodoro Garcia Egea immediately responded that the party would not enable a PSOE government.

“We will make it difficult,” Egea promised.

Gone are the times when PP politicians nodded wise and smugly when Rajoy said that the most-voted party was morally entitled to govern.

Obviously, they can’t back that particular horse any more. They know that if they did they’d automatically self-exile themselves from countless municipalities and several regional governments.

PEDRO SÁNCHEZ: Refuses to rule out another election.

Notably absent from the happy couple’s guest list is former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo who, reported by Marca.com, has not received an invite to the wedding.

Despite the pair having worked together for nine years the snub is speculated to have been the result of Ronaldo’s announcement to leave Real Madrid directly after the Champion’s League final - stealing the show from the team’s 13th European triumph and sparking steely and heated responses from Real Madrid team members including Sergio Ramos.

Nearly 14,000 fans packed into the Marenostrum each day to enjoy the greatest lineup of heavy rock ever assembled on the Costa del Sol, with over 40 bands appearing across three stages.

And it was Rainbow who shone as the sun set on Saturday and threatened to leave Sohail Castle crumbling.

Chilean vocalist Ronnie Romero impressed as the band thundered through Since You Been Gone, Stargazer and Long Live Rock ’n’ Roll.

But it was all about Blackmore, with the legendary guitarist digging into his Deep Purple past to produce searing renditions of Mistreated, Black Night and Burn.

Indeed, the 74-year-old, known for his moody demeanour, even cracked a few jokes to suggest he’s lightened up at last.

Friday’s main attraction Scorpions may lack their old energy, but guitarist Rudolph Schenker remains an irresistible focal point. The Zoo, Is There Anybody There and Coast To Coast ensured the fans were quickly onside for the Germans.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala keeps fit with Chico and cooks his favourite scallop dish.

Chico party time!

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

LAST week was my birthday and so I celebrated it with a party at home with close friends and family, Chico (X Factor fame) and his family celebrated with us. Regular readers will know that Chico is often here as he is a close friend and he really knows how to get a party going!

But first we did a bit of exercise with a special fitness routine that Chico created which uses four styles of fitness fused into one class, dance, combat, hi and low interval training and finally yoga and meditation.

We held the class on June 8 at my friends’ restaurant El Torreon on the beach in La Cala. Salvador kindly cleared the restaurant terrace and about 40 of us danced to music that Chico had written and performs; its

originality makes the whole experience unique and so much fun, albeit also pretty demanding!

Chico has called this amazing fitness programme Blockfit and now has ambassadors operating it, all over the world.

My darling wife (Michele) is continuing the hype by representing Chico here in Spain in La Cala with the Blockfit formula.

Chico will visit from time to time to check how the students are doing!

So look out for Michele’s Blockfit classes at Michele Harper Academy in our La Cala studio in the high street.

It’s a fun way to get fit, dance to great music, a bit of boxing dancing to Muhammad Ali and then relax with some yoga and meditation. For more info contact Michele Harper Academy on Facebook.

Back to my party, 24 guests and my head Chef Prince cooked us a special BBQ with Dani, Debbie and Dylan looking after us all.

drank and danced all night long until the police asked us to keep it down.

Always a good sign that it’s been a good party!

With a few foodies at the party (especially my daughter Serena who is a real foodie!) what do we serve? I chose to keep it simple, which is the

right thing to do when you have large numbers.

We had pink cava and smoked salmon blinis with caviar, then scallop and prawn thermidor followed by a steak cooked on the char grill which the Spanish call Chuleton which is a large steak similar to a T

Bone. We didn’t make it to dessert as by then we were all singing or dancing, another sign that it’s a good party!

One of my friends asked me about the scallops that I made covered in pastry.

I explained that about 20 years ago my friend and celebrity Chef Raymond Blanc cooked me a scallop in its shell with a pastry lid. It was beautiful but the pity was that I couldn’t eat the pastry on the top because he had covered the top shell of the scallop with the pastry and it glues to it.

When I got back to my restaurant in Cambridge I recreated the dish replacing the top shell with just pastry (no top shell) and cooked it until crispy. The textures of the crisp pastry and soft baked scallop with creamy truffle sauce are divine! I kept the dish on my menu for years as everyone loved it so much.

Raymond even admitted that mine was a better version! He said in his soft sexy French accent… “Steven, you cook from the heart and I love that about you!”

So this week I am letting you into the secret Raymond Blanc recipe with the special Steven Saunders twist! Scallops cooked in their shells, with truffle sauce… Enjoy!

Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.

Steven’s party scallops cooked in pastry INGREDIENTS for four 4 large fresh hand dived scallops in their shell (available from the fish markets) 1 large leek washed and cleaned 200g salted butter Light olive oil A tablespoon of chopped fresh dill ½ glass of Champagne or cava 2 teaspoons of truffle pieces (available from supermarkets) A drizzle of truffle oil Approximately 300g of ready made puff pastry 2 egg yolks A little Maldon salt Method 1. Firstly prepare the scallops by prizing open the shells with a small knife or oyster knife and remove the flatter of the two halves of shell.

This leaves you the scallop sitting in the deeper shell with all the roe and membrane.

2. Remove the roe and membrane

with your fingers carefully and wash under cold water. You should now be able to remove the membrane leaving the red roe intact. Reserve the roe and discard the membrane.

3. Now carefully remove the scallops using a small palate knife and briefly rinse in cold water. Clean the shells or put them in the dishwasher.

4. Chop the washed leek very finely and fry in a pre-heated pan with half of the butter. Season with a little salt and as they soak up the butter now add the cava. Add the chopped dill and finally stir in the truffle pieces. Reserve this mix.

5. In a dry pre-heated frying pan heated at full temperature, add a little olive oil and seal the scallops for a little colour, add the remaining butter and now add the roes. Cook both on one side only for about 30 seconds to one minute, no more. Remove season and drain on tissue paper.

6. Line up the scallop shells and

divide the leek mixture between them evenly. Place the seared scallop coloured side upwards on top of the leek mix and the roe next to it.

Drizzle them with the truffle oil.

7. Roll out the pastry to approx 2mm and cover the scallop shells with the pastry. Cut around the pastry so that you have four shells neatly covered in pastry sealed by squeezing the pastry to the shell.

8. Brush the pastry with the egg yolk and season the top with Maldon salt.

9. The scallops can be kept like this in the fridge for up to 12 hours.

10. Bake in a preheated oven 200ºc until the pastry is lightly golden 11. Serve them, explaining to the guests that they can pull back the pastry and add a little of the creamy truffle sauce, for the full taste experience.

For the truffle sauce 300ml of thick cream

SCALLOPS: Cooked in their shell with truffle sauce. and add the onion and garlic. Simmer until the cream is nice and thick and add the butter and whisk

1 w h i t e onion chopped 100g salted butter 2 cloves garlic peeled and sliced finely 4 teaspoons of truffle pieces 1 tablespoon truffle oil Maldon salt Simply bring the cream to the boil

in.

Now pass the sauce through a sieve into a clean pan to remove the garlic and onion pieces. Finally add the truffle pieces to the sauce and whisk in and then add the truffle oil.

You can keep the sauce warm on the stove until needed. When needed pour into a small jug and serve alongside the scallops.

BARRY DUKE A WHILE back I wrote about how I threw a posse of security guards at Gatwick Airport into a tizzy when six tins of Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies were found in my hand luggage.

Guard No 1 was so perplexed that he sought a second opinion as to whether they were allowed on my flight back to Spain. A colleague was just as nonplussed.

Along came a third, then a fourth.

After a lengthy debate the general consensus was that the pies were OK, and I was sent on my way.

Why would I want to bring pies into Spain? The answer ’s easy.

Decades ago they were my favourite comfort food and I honestly thought that they had gone the way of brands like Worcestershire sauce-flavoured Twiglets, Bernard Matthews’ Turkey Twizzlers, Terry’s White Chocolate Oranges and Heinz baked beans pizza (yuck), to name but a few.

When I make a business trip to the UK at the end of June I shall not bring back any more. Why? Because they are no longer what

Bye puddings and pies

STEAK AND KIDNEY PUDDINGS: Were once Britain’s favourite dish. they were back in the day. The tin may still say ‘steak and kidney’ but all it contains is a gooey brown gravy buried beneath a great lump of soggy pastry. Acid reflux in a can is what these abominations really are.

I was reminded of those pies when a recent conversation in a bar veered over into retro British

recipes. Most of the people in the pub were of a certain vintage, to put it politely, and got all mistyeyed as they recalled jam roly-poly, coronation chicken, devilled kidneys, oxtail stew, toad-in-the-hole with onion gravy and bubble and squeak.

My contribution was prawns with avocado, cheese fondues and

queen of puddings. Naturally!

Which is probably why I discovered by my mid-fifties that I had developed a sizeable belly. Or a ‘balcony over the toy shop’ as the Australians so delicately put it.

That’s when I hit the gym running, lost a massive amount of weight, and completely cut out all junk food.

But, if I had the cash to open a

restaurant in Spain, I would revive all those old dishes because I reckon chubby expats and tourists would beat a path to my door to shovel down rum and honey babas, Arctic rolls, cheese and onion pies, brandy snaps, Bakewell tarts and steak and kidney puddings.

Speaking of the latter, I learned that this particular dish was once Britain’s favourite dish. It dates back to 1861 and originally featured one ingredient not commonly seen today - oysters. These were once so plentiful they were more often eaten by the poor than the rich.

Fray Bentos’s tinned version, introduced in the1970s, is still available today, but many Amazon customers are far from impressed. One wrote: ‘Absolute rubbish. I haven’t tasted anything more awful than this. Suet pastry so gluey, and the meat content abysmal. I have got a few left, but will leave for the food bank. At least there is something in the stomach for someone hungry.’

So rest assured I won’t be returning to Spain with a bunch of the things.

No real surprises at the local elections

By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com DOWN here at latitude 28º, we’re endeavouring to come to terms with the results of recent local elections.

At Canarian Autonomous Government level, there were no real surprises, nor at Euro level. It is said that what has caused incredulity, anger and a local political scramble, especially on the smaller, er… more traditional, islands where Cabildo work contracts are traded for votes and our leaders are of the emperorfor-life ilk, nest feathering whilst graciously receiving forelock tugging and hand kissing as their due, is the extraordinary capacity of these emperors to survive.

Against all odds. Not only survive, but go from strength to strength. It’s a piece of reality that far outdoes any fiction in its bizarre twists.

In other words, despite obvious, public proofs of their less than squeaky clean honesty and everybody’s insistence that things must change, somehow or the other the

dates, we publish the advert then house-sitters apply. You can view their profiles and chat with them before you accept an applicant.

FIRE RISK: Detection is important everywhere, especially given the current problems of climate change. majority of the votes, when counted, are for them.

I live here with an extended family who get anxious when I sound off in print. Please note that all the above is of course hearsay. Please note the ‘it is said that.’

Moving on, we shall ‘during the next few days,’ know the joyous outcome of the frantic scramble to make pacts and change said status quo.

It’s a pretty hopeless task, given

the local political prediliction for infinite, nitpicking, obfuscation and a dyed in the wool tendency to disagree with those of other parties as a point of principle, but who knows?

Miracles may yet happen, but the odds are perhaps culturally stacked against them. For example, note the difference between Spanish and Brit TV chat shows. The Brit versions feature speakers, who although possibly of opposing viewpoints, generally take turns stating their opinions,

while the Spanish versions quickly become a melee, with everyone shouting at the same time. Political consensus is thus a tricky undertaking.

Consensus, however, thankfully does exist about the need to prepare for another long, hot summer and the ever-increasing fire risk.

Late May saw wildfire decimating 14 hectares of Tenerife’s Teide National Park, a hectare and a half in Valleseco, Gran Canaria, a rubbish

tip in Arrecife, Lanzarote and an area worryingly close to houses and tourist complexes in Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera.

Gran Canaria’s Cabildo has just spent 2.7 million on Alertagran, a new sensor system designed for the early detection of fire and ‘meteorological and environmental incidents,’ which will cover 70 per cent of the island and its 170,000 inhabitants.

As Cabildo president Antonio Morales said: “Modernisation in fire detection is especially important everywhere, given the current problems of climate change, but is especially important on the islands, which are one of the most complicated regions in Spain to defend from fire, given their topography and the way populations are dispersed within it.

“Using this system, it will be possible to contact firefighters directly in a centralised manner and to speak with various agencies simultaneously, which should save valuable time when most necessary.”

Fingers crossed!

The world’s first speeding ticket was issued in 1902.

The dynamic Seat Mii Electric THE movement to electrified vehicles is gaining pace and SEAT has announced the introduction of the Mii electric.

This car is the ideal vehicle for the city, mixing dynamic performance with practicality and a range of 260km from a single charge.

“The market is changing, and electrification is expanding at an unprecedented rate.

In Europe, the electric vehicle market grew by 46 per cent in the first four months of the year, moving forward we expect electrified vehicles to play an important role within our range,” said Luca de Meo, President of SEAT. “The Mii electric is the start of that journey, and at the same time brings to the market an affordable electric car.”

Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Mii electric offers great agility while driving in the city and while parking. The Mii electric has been designed to meet

the demands of modern driving, whether you are traversing the bustling streets of the inner city or navigating through suburbia, taking up the mantle from the combustion engine Mii when production of that vehicle ends in July 2019.

The Mii electric comes equipped with Lane Assist as standard equipment. But the greatest transformation comes under the bonnet. The Mii electric’s motor, linked to a single speed transmission, provides its 61kW (83PS) of power and 212Nm of torque instantly, meaning the five-

door car c a n r e a c h 50km/h from a standstill in only 3.9 seconds - perfect for jumping in and out of traffic.

And the car ’s 36.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides up to 260km of range from a single charge based on the WLTP test cycle.

The all-electric city car is the first model to include SEAT CONNECT, giving remote access and management of the vehicle. Customers can

RANGE: 260km from a single charge. review driving data, parking position, the vehicle’s status, including doors and lights, and the ability to control airconditioning remotely, all from their smartphone app.

Pre-sales of the SEAT Mii electric for the customers will start in September.

WITH the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket competition drawing ever closer, reigning champions Spain have confirmed the 12 players who will fight to retain their crown.

Head coach Lucas Mondelo has gone with a familiar core of players, although 2017 MVP Alba Torrens is missing through injury.

Veteran Laia Palau will carry on as playmaker, even though she announced her retirement two years ago in Prague.

The back line is hugely experienced, with Silvia Dominguez, Queralt Casas, Cristina Ouvina - plus Marta Xargay and Anna Cruz, who have WNBA as well as EuroLeague Women court time to call upon.

The frontcourt will be led by Astou Ndour who impressed enough for a place in the All-Star Five last year at the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, plus recent EuroCup Women winner, Laura Nicholls and Laura Gill.

The full roster is: Tamara Abalde, Queralt Casas, Anna Cruz, Silvia Dominguez, Laura Gil, Astou Ndour, Laura Nicholls, Cristina Ouvina, Laia Palau, Maria Pina, Andrea Vilaro and Marta Xarga.

Spain are drawn in Group A against Great Britain, Ukraine and Latvia, with matches being played in Riga.

The tournament runs from June 27 until July 7 and is being co-hosted by Latvia and Serbia.

The first leg will be played tonight (Thursday, June 20) at Deportivo’s Riazor stadium at 9pm, with Mallorca hosting the second match on Sunday, also at 9pm.

There will be no penalty shootout if the teams cannot be separated over the course of two matches.

Away goals count double and there will be 30 minutes of extra time in the second leg if required.

If it is still a tie, promotion will come down to who finished the regular season with the best league position - in this case Mallorca.

The winners will join Granada, who were second, and champions Osasuna in La Liga next season, replacing relegated Rayo Vallecano, Huesca and Girona.

Mallorca and Deportivo, who finished fifth and sixth respectively, hit form at the right time of the season. Third placed Malaga went down 2-5 on aggregate to Deportivo, while Mallorca overcame fourth placed Albacete 2-1 on aggregate after a 1-0 loss in the second leg.

PRESENTATION: Superpool Winter League trophies were awarded.

A league above...

THIS year’s Superpool Benalmadena and District Winter Pool League presentation took place on Thursday, June 13, at the Sala La Duquesa after a hard-fought season.

More than 300 players and guests gathered for this year’s trophy awards. The evening started with a complementary glass of cava or chocolate wine accompanied by chocolate truffles and strawberries, party bags on each table and sweet treats.

This was followed by a superb sit down buffet whilst listening to a wide selection of music by Laura Carter, who was in charge of proceedings for the Trophy Presentation and the raffle.

The latter had 30 prizes which included a 49 inch

smart TV, electric scooter and concert tickets to mention but a few.

The Live Band SKAFEINA DOS really got the party atmosphere going well into the night.

Organisers send their thanks to all their sponsors

and all those who participated this season, not forgetting Eli, Juan and the staff at La Duquesa for looking after them all for the evening.

Next up is this year’s Summer League which will take them up to the start of the Winter League 2019-20.

Lucky Alonso TOYOTA GAZOO Racing won the 87th Le Mans 24 Hours with a one-two finish - but their cars could be said to have finished in the wrong order.

In a dramatic final hour Sébastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Fernando Alonso, in the #8 TS050 Hybrid, defended their Le Mans crown and secured the drivers’ World Championship in the process, but only because of a huge slice of luck.

They ended up winning by 16.9 seconds from teammates Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López in the #7 after the latter had to pit for a puncture.

Unfortunately, their crew changed the wrong wheel in a blunder that robbed them of victory when they had to pit again to get the correct wheel changed.

Honda say a sensor malfunction caused the mistake on the 367th lap. They had held a lead of over two minutes before the double pit stop and a slow lap on a punctured wheel scuppered their hopes.

This meant Alonso and his teammates defended the Le Mans 24 hours they won last year, but had to admit luck was on their side. In any case they had the WEC Championship sewn up by that stage.

The #7 crew had controlled much of the contest, having set the fastest-ever Le Mans race lap of 3 mins 17.297 secs.

It had started the race from pole position following Kamui’s fastest qualifying lap, with the #8 starting just behind. That set the scene for an exciting and close battle for overall victory between the two 1,000PS TS050 Hybrids, with momentum swinging one way and then the other.

After 12 hours the two Toyotas were separated by only 8.6 seconds. In the night, the #7 seized a decisive advantage as the sister car faced an aerodynamic imbalance. That was caused by bodywork damage due to the rigours of a tough, flatout contest although the cars were always on the same lap.

As the final hours approached, the gap remained relatively stable around two minutes and the focus switched to bringing the cars home safely. All appeared to be going to plan until the #7 experienced its dramas and Kazuki took the lead with less than an hour to go.

Fernando Alonso said: “It is amazing to win Le Mans for the second time, but the win came really unexpectedly. We did not have the pace to win this race against car #7 on track. Today luck was a big factor and this is part of motorsport. I feel for my teammates who are actually more than teammates, they are friends.

“They would have deserved the victory, but the race chose us to win it.”

Crash leaves way clear for Marquez

By Dilip Kuner MARC MARQUEZ has extended his lead in the MotoGP rankings after t e a m m a t e J o rg e L o r e n z o crashed, taking out a slew of top riders on lap two in Barcelona.

Lorenzo had made a blistering start, moving up from 10th on the grid to fourth. But he came in too hot on turn 10 as he tried to overtake Maveric Vi ñ a l e s w h i l e M a r q u e z made a move on race leader and main championship challenger Andrea Dovizioso.

Lorenzo ended up taking out Dovizioso with Viñales also falling after being left nowhere to go. Valentino

ON TOP: Marc Marquez won his home GP.

Rossi became another victim of the crash when he ran wide after braking late and got caught in the incident.

The end result was that Marquez was left a clear run to the flag in his home GP in Cataluña, finishing 2.66 seconds ahead of sec-

ond placed Fabio Quartararo, with Danilo Petrucci third and Alex Rins fourth.

This was the reigning M o t o G P Wo r l d C h a m p i on’s second premier class win in Barcelona and his fourth of the 2019 season.

The victory is Marquez’s

48th in the premier class and helps to extend his championship lead to 37 points over Dovizioso.

Honda hold a 15 points advantage over Ducati in the Constructor Championship.

Speaking about his crash Lorenzo said: “You don’t have any options if you brake a little bit too late here, like happened with me. It was my fault, my mistake and I apologise. It was really unfortunate to take out Dovi, Maverick a n d Va l e n t i n o - i t w a s n ’t t h e i r f a u l t o b v i o u s l y, i t was mine.

“The only thing that matters today is the crash, I took out three riders un-

fortunately but if we think aside from this it was a weekend where we were able to make a step forward and I was consistent throughout.”

Marc Marquez said: “I chose the soft rear to try and push in the beginning and to try not to overheat the tyre but to try to be constant and fast. All of t h e R e p s o l H o n d a Te a m did a really good job this weekend; we worked hard and prepared well for the race.

“The team told me something had happened to Dovi, so I just kept pushing and focusing on my own race. We had the per-

fect strategy regardless and I want to thank all the fans who came out. Gracias! “ I t ’s a l w a y s s p e c i a l when you can celebrate winning together with your b r o t h e r, A l e x r o d e w e l l this weekend!”

Marquez junior had indeed ridden well to take his third Moto2 win of the season and the championship lead after pre-race title leader Lorenzo Baldassarri crashed out.

The teams remained a few days in Barcelona for testing. MotoGP will resume at Assen (The Netherlands) on the weekend of June 28 - 30.
