Winning bridge THIS bridge in northern Spain has been named the second best in the world by an industry association. The Puente de Rande, in Vigo, Galicia, was named the second best by the International Association of Bridges and Structural Engineering (IABSE). A jury of 100 engineers judged and ranked the bridges. The Puente de Rande came ahead of Britain’s Mersey Gateway and behind Mukogawa in Japan. IABSE said the bridge’s sustainable and environmentally-friendly design
were among the reasons it came second. The Puente de Rande is a cablestayed bridge which spans the Vigo bay across a strait which gives the bridge its name. It links the towns of Redondela and Moaña. Engineers Fabrizio de Miranda, from Italy and Spain’s Florencio del Pozo and Alfredo Passaro designed the bridge. Construction began in 1973 and it opened in 1981. The bridge won the Outstanding European Metal Construction Award in 1979.
‘Arson’ probe INVESTIGATORS probing several fires lit at an industrial estate in Alhaurin de la Torre have said a suspect has not been arrested in connection with alleged arson.

Laundering trial MALAGA’S Provincial Court has jailed five defendants and acquitted seven others following a trial into money laundering and tax crimes in Marbella. The court jailed one defendant for a year and ordered him to pay more than €366,000 in compensation after he was convicted for his part in the Hildalgo case. Two defendants were handed 22month sentences and fines of €3 million each. Another, from the Netherlands, was jailed for 15 months and fined €8 million. Judges said in their ruling that connections between Spanish laundering and activity in Argentina, Belgium, Britain, Sweden and Turkey made the case particularly complex. Those sentenced included lawyers who helped clients launder money and defraud the Spanish Treasury of VAT payments. The Hildalgo case generally refers to police officers laundering earnings from tax crimes, drugs trafficking, fraud and other offences in Marbella in the mid2000s.

The Puente de Rande is more than 1,600 metres long and its pillars are 148 metres high. It was the longest cable-stayed bridge in Spain and one of the longest in the world when it was built. Around 50,000 vehicles cross the bridge every day on average and an estimated 231 million have gone over it since its opening. Galicia’s Audasa infrastructure authority began works to widen the bridge in 2016 at an estimated cost of almost €108 million. They were completed in December 2017.
Sex attacks rise
THE number of alleged or proven sex crimes committed in Malaga Province from January to March was 126, up from 117 in the same months last year. Figures from the Interior Ministry showed that at least 12 of them were assaults with penetration. Carmen Martin, of the Women Violence Zero group, said the figures were ‘worrying’ and came amidst a troubling political climate. The far-right Vox in Andalucia has called for changes to gender violence laws that would effectively play down the man-on-woman aspect of the crime. Meli Galarza, of the Association for the Defence of the Public Image of Women (ADIPM), said complaints to police about attacks were more common, but many cases were still unreported. Galarza added she was worried women would feel unrecognised and less protected by pushes from Vox to de-emphasise the gendered and sexist aspects of the crimes.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS By Joe Gerrard MEMBERS of the acting left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) government are aiming to form a coalition this month as the countdown to an investiture vote begins this week. Acting Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said PSOE’s investiture was the only political option after it won the most seats in April’s election, but fell short of a majority. “We will be clear about what basis we want to lead the country on,” Calvo said. She spoke as Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez met with President of the Congress of Deputies Meritxell Batet to fix a date for the investiture vote. Sanchez and PSOE are courting smaller parties in Congress to get the 176 votes they need to be voted in. The acting prime minister reached out to parties across the political spectrum to find a way forward, but talks with the leftist Podemos have

Sanchez met with Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias after the round of elections wrapped up in May and agreed to form a ‘government of co-operation.’ But the two parties have struggled to agree on what co-operation would look like. Iglesias has pushed to have Podemos Congress members appointed to ministerial positions, but Sanchez
said PSOE was only prepared to offer low-level government posts. Calvo claimed the decision was due to the fact a coalition between PSOE and Podemos would still leave the government 11 seats shy of a majority. Tha t me a ns the y w ill have to bring other parties into the fold which could open the door for them to de ma nd gove rnme nt a p-
pointments as well. Comments from other leading PSOE figures hint the party is losing patience and is anxious to form a government sooner rather than later. PSOE spokesperson Adriana Lastra said her party wanted ‘responsibility’ from Podemos after Iglesias suggested he might try to stall the government’s investiture until September. “This isn’t Game of Thrones,” Lastra said. Internal factors in Podemos also mean backing a PSOE government is not a straightforward move. The party’s haemorrhaging of votes in recent elections has created pressure for them to find their own identity rather than throw their lot in with PSOE. Sanchez and PSOE figures have not ruled out calling fresh elections if the deal falls through.
Internal strife THE centrist Ciudadanos entered a crisis last week after a number of high profile members questioned its drift to the right, with some resigning in protest. Several members of the party’s executive committee said they would quit over leader Albert Rivera’s refusal to support a government led by the left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE). The party has shown a greater willingness to deal with the conservative Partido Popular (PP) and the far-right Vox in recent months. Ciudadanos agreed to join a Vox-backed coalition with the PP in Andalucia in December and it also struck similar deals with both following local elections in May. Party members in its Catalan heartland broke ranks with the leadership and backed sitting leftist Barcelona mayor Ana Colau to block Vox’s entry into local government. Internal divisions in Ciudadanos were previously summed up by its candidate for Barcelona mayor Manuel Valls, who said its dealings with the far-right ran counter to its progressive, liberal values. The party appears to be straining under the contradictions of its strategy. Rivera is thought to be positioning the party as the leading opposition force against PSOE, but his right-turn has alienated liberal supporters.

BREXIT BRIEF
THE recovery of rival holiday destinations will have more of an impact on British tourists opting to travel to Spain than Brexit will, according to Britain’s Ambassador to Spain. Simon Manley said at an event organised by the Madrid Business Forum that the years since the 2016 Brexit referendum have seen record numbers of British tourists holidaying to Spain. “Spain is in the hearts of the British. There are few countries whose holiday offering compares to Spain’s,” Manley said. The ambassador added the number of German tourists holidaying in Spain had fallen faster than those of the British in recent months. “Germany is not coming out of the EU and German economic growth is similar to that of Britain’s,” Manley said. “What’s happening is the return of other destinations such as Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia which disappeared from the market for security reasons. They are now more competitive again,” the ambassador added. Figures from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) showed the British were the single-largest group of tourists in Spain during the first four months of 2019 at around 4.3 million.

Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and current post occupant Jeremy Hunt have set out their stall on Brexit ahead of Monday July 22’s ballot of Conservative party members. It comes as the Labour opposition continues to grapple with its Brexit approach, with leader Jeremy Corbyn facing mounting pressure to adopt a clear position. Johnson and Hunt’s supporters played down the prospect of a no-deal after Hunt said he would be prepared to leave without an agreement but would do so with a ‘heavy-heart.’ Hunt added he would set aside about €6.7 billion to deal with a no-deal. Johnson backer Matt Hancock said the former Foreign Secretary’s goal to leave on October 31 with or without a deal made getting one more likely. Both pledged to raise spending in oth-

An ambulance crew arrived soon afterwards to take over and confirmed that mother and baby were in perfect condition. The drama had started when the woman
realised the birth was imminent and it was time to go to hospital. But rather than catch a taxi she, her husband and their young son walked to the bus stop at around midnight. While there she went into labour and it was left to two police officers to turn midwives for the happy event. The proud father thanked the police officers profusely, then asked them what the name of the street was. From that moment on he st ar t ed t o cal l t he new bor n ‘Llaut.’

Airline booze clampdown RYANAIR has extended a clampdown on drunken behaviour on flights to Spain by banning passengers from taking duty-free booze to their seats. Cust om er s on som e flights to Alicante, Palma, Malaga, Barcelona, Tenerife Sur and I bi za have been getting emails setting out new rules for carrying alcohol. The email states that any duty-free alcohol bought at the airport will have to be put in their luggage to go in t he hol d bef or e boar di ng their flight. This will be done at the gat e and wi l l be f r ee of charge for those with priorit y boar di ng or one sm al l piece of hand luggage.

German police say the main suspect is a 26-year-old man who they say headed the operation and had his last address in Mallorca. The arrest last spring of another 26-year-old German citizen for trafficking drugs led to the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor’s Office opening an investigation. Police seized large quantities of narcotics, including nearly 50 kilograms of amphetamines, 16 kilograms of marihuana, two kilograms of MDMA, 900 grams of cocaine, 600 grams of heroin and a high volume of ecstasy tablets, and LSD in in the states of Hesse and Lower Saxony.

Spain gets historic artefact back A DESK used by the last president of the Spanish Republic to sign his resignation letter following his defeat in the Civil War is set to be returned to Spain. France is set to present Spain’s Secretary of State for Global Spain Irene Lozano with Manuel Azaña’s desk when she visits Collonges-sous-Saleve today (Thursday). The government’s Global Spain department said: “Spain’s democratic memory is an ele-
ment of its reputation abroad.” Azaña spent the first months of his exile in the French town following the defeat of the Second Republican government at the hands of former dictator Francisco Franco in 1939. He was previously Spain’s prime minister from 1931 to 1933 and took office as president shortly after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in May 1936. He died in Montauban in France on November 3 1940.

Topless sunbathing, to bare or not to bare, and where? TOPLESS sunbathing. It is today by no means an uncommon site on the Spanish costas. When mass tourism really began to take off in Spain in the 1960s the country was still a dictatorship and conservative attitudes prevailed; the Catholic Church warned against the topless fashion northern Europeans brought with them. But not only have the Spanish got used to seeing foreign tourists ditching their bikini tops to catch some rays over recent decades, surveys suggest at least one in three Spanish women happily sunbathe semi-nude themselves. The official line on going topless in Spain? A reform of the 1989 Penal Code removed the categorisation of toplessness as a public scandal and subsequent rulings have stated that going topless cannot be banned on beaches. Nevertheless, some local authorities have demanded the power to establish areas where being bikini-topless is a no-no, like public swimming pools and municipal parks for example.
REGULATIONS: Some municipalities prohibit toplessness in places like public swimming pools.
No law prohibits going topless at residential complex communal pools, but under the Horizontal Property Law communities of owners can vote to put a stop to it and establish a ban as an internal rule. Regulations are one thing, but then there is what is considered socially acceptable. Is there a difference in people’s minds between topless on the sand and topless by the pool or in the park? Probably most people these days don’t
bat an eyelid at the sight of bare boobs on the beach. But the same people may well raise an eyebrow if they find their female neighbours going topless at the community swimming pool or should they find themselves staring at a lady’s nipples in the face while walking the dog on the nearest public patch of green. So, to bare or not to bare, and where, that is our question? Let us know what you think.

What to do in the event of an emergency in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. HERE in Spain there is a general number for all emergencies, 112. No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles without a Spanish SIM card. The responders speak a number of languages, and you can also fax or SMS 112. In addition, there are individual emergency numbers, depending on the type of assistance you need. It’s a good idea to keep a printout of them handy, in your bag or wallet, in the home and in the car. And it can’t hurt to have a few helpful Spanish medical/emergency terms written down, just in case you don’t get an English-speaking member of staff. National Police, also known as National Police Corps (Cuerpo Nacional de Policia, CNP), deals with criminal offences and public order in towns and cities, and can be contacted by calling 091 or 902 102 112. The latter was set up for non-Spanish to report burglaries, car theft or a break-in when documents and belongings are lost or stolen. Available in English from 9am to 2pm, all week long, the service is also available in French, German and Italian. Once the telephone report is made,
claimants have 48 hours to check and sign their statement at the police station of their choice. In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 091 at the time, then go directly to a police station to make a report. The Guardia Civil is a military force which operates mostly in rural areas and is responsible for drug offences, fatal car accidents, robberies and murders, and can be contacted on 062. Local Police (Policia municipal) cover their local town or city area for traffic offences and control, lost property and crimes such as theft and neighbourhood disputes. You can reach them on 092. And a special helpine, 016, has been set up specifically to report instances of gender violence. For an ambulance (ambulancia) and health emergencies, call 061 or 112, and in the case of a fire call the fire brigade (cuerpo de bomberos) on 061 or 112. For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292.

CONDEMNED: One case saw an underage migrant try to cross into Ceuta.
UN condemns child migrant treatment By Joe Gerrard A UN committee has condemned Spain for its treatment of unaccompanied migrant children, citing two cases from 2016 and 2017. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (OHCHR) said border authorities failed to provide sufficient legal guarantees to the children and did
not consider their documents properly. OHCHR said ensuring the best interests of migrant children who try to enter Spain was of ‘fundamental importance.’ “In cases of uncertainty, the individual must be given the benefit of the doubt,” the committee said. The first case concerned a Cameroonian national who was denied legal representation after arriving
at the border of the Spanish enclave in Africa Ceuta. Prosecutors refused to accept his official documents and he was ordered back across the order. The second case, in 2017, say an Algerian national was returned after arriving in Almeria by boat and taking an age test which claimed he was 19. OHCHR said such tests have a ‘wide margin’ of error.

An interview with the shop assistant and a review of the CCTV cameras led the police to make the arrest a few days later. The CCTV footage showed that he had also tried the rob the same premises the day before, but backed out at the last minute due to the number of customers in the store at the time.

‘No virus evidence’ THE EU’S Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has said ‘no evidence’ was found proving three Icelandic tourists contracted chikungunya while holidaying on the Costa Blanca. A spokesperson for ECDC said tests following reports the tourists had contracted the virus showed their illness was not caused by chikungunya. It comes as the Icelandic Directorate of Health confirmed that initial tests had shown signs the tourists had the illness, but further examinations could not confirm the findings.A report issued by the ECDC said: “There is no evidence that the reported cases are the chikungunya virus disease.” It follows media reports which said the Icelandic holidaymakers, including a 37-year-old woman and a five-year-old child, contracted the virus while staying in Alicante Province. The ECDC added it did not issue advice to travellers after reports interpreted a regular assessment of disease risks as information for holidaymakers.

A BODY recovered by police divers from a submerged car in a Spanish reservoir is thought to be that of a British man who disappeared three months ago. Fishermen who spotted the car in the Civan reservoir in Caspe, Zaragoza, alerted emergency services. Guardia Civil and specialist divers arrived at the scene to make the grim discovery. The car had just part of the roof poking out of the water. The body has been tentatively identified as 59-year-old Martin Walker who went missing at the start of March. The vehicle’s number plates match those of Mr Walker’s car which disappeared at the same time. Forensic tests and DNA analysis will be carried out to confirm the identity. Divers attached airbags to the car and pulled the car from the lake in order to recover the body. Mr Walker, who ran a fishing tours business called Catfish Capers on the River Ebro, was originally from High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. He had lived in Spain for around 15 years.

Transgender prostitutes NATIONAL POLICE released eight prostitutes of Colombian and Venezuelan nationality after breaking apart a transgender trafficking ring. Six arrests have been made in the country’s capital of traffickers linked to the prostitutes forced to work in cities across Spain. They were allegedly lured into Spain on the false promises of well-paid jobs and high prospects. They were assigned an apartment, had their passports removed and were monitored 24 hours a day to avoid any of the victims escaping. The investigation began in 2018 when two of the victims managed to contact the police and report their circumstances and a full investigation got underway. The alleged leader of the organisation is also a Venezuelan transsexual who has settled in Spain, persuading other transsexual victims into the country, then forcing them to influence others to cross to Spain. During the raids on apartments of the capitals along with the prostitutes being released into protective custody, money, mobile phones, laptops and small quantities of drugs were seized.

Anyone encouraging or inciting others to indulge in this reckless behaviour is also liable to be fined. The by-law was introduced in 2016 after a string of balconing deaths and serious injuries. Last year 11 fines were handed out in Calvia, which is the council that covers Magaluf.
All the fines so far this year were levied by Local Police in June. So far on 2019 there has been one death attributed to balconing. A British tourist was also filmed leaping from an exterior stair to try and grab a tree. He fell through it and crashed to the ground, breaking sev-
eral bones in the process. He allegedly then claimed he had slipped by the pool in an effort to get the hotel to pay his medical expenses. The hotel’s insurance company discovered the video on social media and is refusing to pay, leaving the tourist facing a bill of €37,000.

Marihuana metres from schools and play area GUARDIA CIVIL uncovered an indoor marihuana plantation on the doorstep of a nursery school and children’s play area in Almeria. The first was discovered just 100 metres from a nursery school and an institute in Roquetas de Mar, and a second only 50 metres from a children’s play area in a house in Felix. In both cases the Guardia were tipped off by local residents reporting a strong smell
of the drug emanating from the respective properties and complaining about the constant noise. Neighbours in both Roquetas and Felix also expressed particular concern that many children passed by the houses. Investigations and discreet surveillance operations allowed the Guardia to pinpoint the location of the possible plantations. When officers went into the Roquetas house they found
more than 200 marihuana plants, nearly 180 grammes of hash hidden in a strong box, five air-conditioning units, an air extractor and precision scales. There were 390 marihuana plants growing in the house in Felix.
As is often the case in these kinds of illegal drug cultivation set-ups, there were unauthorised connections to the power supply in both properties. Officers arrested a 41-yearold woman from Roquetas identified as CVOD in connection with the Felix plantation.

Drone owners THE Secretary of Transport Maria Jose Rallo has released figures showing the amount of registered drones in the country according to databases. In Spain there are 5,500 registered aircraft along with 3,600 registered operators. The announcement was made by Rallo at the Exprodronica 2019 Fair, which highlighted the increasing popularity and importance of proper drone usage. Current drone usage is regulated by the AESA, however the Ministry of Public Works is working on a standardisation of the laws across Europe to help with the uniformity of restrictions and licences. As well as these changes in the regulations, there will also be a plan put into place whereby automatic digital traffic management systems will allow manned and unmanned aircraft to share the same airspace.

Is vegetarianism useful? AFTER many years of trying out different diets and studying how the human body functions, I can say that I have answered the question. I believe that humans are created to eat plant food mainly fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. The simplest proof of this is to look at the device of the stomach of a man and a monkey and to compare them with carnivorous, omnivorous and herbivores animals. Our digestive system is like the monkeys and all of them are frugivorous.
HEALTHY OPTIONS: Fruit, seeds, grains and legumes.
The food chain of our planet is perfectly calculated so that every living organism has a food that can be consumed raw. When we cook meat or egg, we do much of the work on our stomach and thanks to that, we are able to digest it fully. The gorilla weighs about 200kg plus and is a very muscular animal feeding entirely on plant food, but to
get enough nutrients they need to feed about 12 hours a day. That is a problem for a modern human, it is much easier for us to pick up already synthesised substances through animal products. We have been eating with them for millions of years, and our bodies are accustomed to this food that contains many nutrients, and I believe that before we de-
cide to be vegans first we have to refuse the technical processed food that we have been eating. They contain mainly empty calories without nutrients, many chemical compounds and toxins that our bodies cannot cope with and put us down. These foods exist for a very short period and are a real poison for us. For this reason, I have never understood vegans who eat these foods. So if we want to eat healthy, the first step is simply to spare all technically processed foods and drinks. To eat products from nature the same as 100 years ago. High protein foods are quinoa, buckwheat, hempseed, chia, soya. For complete protein combination, nuts and seeds, and grains in combination with legumes.

More visitors SO far the first five months of 2019 have been exceptional as far as hotels in Marbella are concerned and the council is delighted. According to information released by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) May saw the largest number of tourists staying in hotels within the city since records began in 2005. No less than 87,475 visitors came to Marbella during the month with a significant and growing proportion coming from
within Spain rather than abroad. Overall, occupation rates to date are ahead of the same time last year and both the cost of rooms and average daily spend are up as well. Whilst this is good news, perhaps better news is that there is still plenty of accommodation available and the council hopes that all of the work that it is doing to promote the city will encourage even greater numbers of arrivals especially as a number of new hotels are being constructed.

Million-euro watch stolen
Hopping mad after stealing 66 shoes for the same foot

Cyclist rescued A COORDINATED effort by Guardia Civil, Almeria firefighters, Local Police and an 061 ambulance team resulted in the successful rescue of an injured cyclist who fell down a ravine in the El Pocico area of Huercal de Almeria and was unable to move. The Guardia reported the rescue took more than three hours. The operation was complicated by the difficult access and the terrain, forcing members of the rescue team to walk two kilometres carrying all their equipment to get to the 50-year-old man. It was after dark when rescuers managed to get him out of the ravine and carry him the two kilometres back the other way then transfer him to the Torrecardenas hospital.

Billions owed in tax bills A TOTAL of 4,028 Spanish taxpayers owe more than €14.1 billion, according to the Tax Agency which found there were 6.7 per cent less debtors than last year. Tax Agency figures found the total amount owed to the Treasury was 7.8 per cent less than last year. It comes as the agency published its list of debtors who owe more than €1 million following tax returns for the last financial year. Companies linked to the construction and property sectors were among the individuals, entities and firms with the highest outstanding debts.
By Joe Gerrard Many of those companies were left with hefty tax bills after earnings were hit following the property market crash in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Reyel Urbis owed the Treasury €353.2 million after paying off around €8 million over the previous year. Martinsa-Fadesa, who’s folding led to the biggest bankruptcy case in Spain at the time, still owes €50.3 million. Figures on the list included Rodrigo Rato, former deputy prime minister to Jose Maria Aznar. Rato owes more than €1 million to
the Treasury and is currently in prison for his part in the ‘Black’ corruption scandal. Nueva Rumasa, one of the firms owned by the Ruiz Mateos family of tycoons, owes €8.9 million. Former Real Madrid President Lorenzo Sanz owes about €1.35 million. Two subsidiaries of the Andaluciabased Abengoa Group, Abengoa Abenewco and Abengoa Energia, owe more than €2 million and €1.1 million respectively. Footballer Daniel Alves and artist Miguel Bose were among those who cleared their debts as of this year.

Incomes back at pre-crisis levels AVERAGE earnings in Spain stood at €11,412 a year in 2017, the first time in nine years the figure has been higher than pre-crisis levels according to a new study. The National Institute of Statistics (INE) found average earnings increased by 3.1 per cent from 2016 to 2017. It was the first time earnings were above 2008’s average of €11,318. That year saw the
global financial crisis break out which plunged Spain, Europe and much of the world into recession. The INE found household incomes averaged at €28,417 in 2017. That figure is still below the more than €30,000 average recorded in 2009. About 10.4 per cent of households said they faced financial difficulty towards the end of the month in 2018, up 1.1 per cent year-on-year.

Euro and US dollar pressured, pound flounders due to Brexit
ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday
Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
Euro EUR/GBP: Up from £0.87 to £0.89 EUR/USD: Up from $1.11 to $1.12 Despite rising bets that the European Central Bank (ECB) would likely take a more dovish stance on Eurozone monetary policy, the euro put in a much stronger performance earlier in June, climbing against weaker rivals. The euro then rebounded strongly as its rival the US dollar tumbled. However, as global trade tensions continued to worsen and key Eurozone data fell short of forecasts, investors became concerned that the ECB was not dovish enough about the economic outlook. That changed this week, when ECB President Mario Draghi indicated that the bank would loosen monetary policy if inflation did not improve. This week’s Eurozone inflation report also fell short of expectations
EUROZONE INFLATION: Fell short of expectations month-on-month. month-on-month. The euro slipped today, but its gains were limited as the more dovish ECB stance wasn’t entirely surprising either. The euro may have room to advance again if the US dollar remains weak, or if upcoming major Eurozone ecostats show that the economy is recovering more strongly. Pound GBP/EUR: Down from €1.13 to €1.11
GBP/USD: Down from $1.27 to $1.25 The pound has easily been among the worst-performing major currencies over the past month or so. While the pound’s losses have slowed since the end of May, it continues to weaken as no-deal Brexit concerns resurface. Brief periods of support offered by signs of UK economic strength have been short-lived, with a lot of major
UK data showing that economic activity remains limited by Brexit uncertainties. The main focus for pound investors this month has been the Conservative Party leadership contest, which officially began last week and will run into July. Hard Brexit advocate Boris Johnson is the frontrunner, and he has indicated he would rather embrace a nodeal Brexit than delay the process

again to secure a deal with the EU. Developments in the leadership contest and how they may influence the pound outlook are likely to dominate pound movement in the coming weeks. US Dollar USD/GBP: Up from £0.78 to £0.79 USD/EUR: Unmoved at €0.89 After a particularly strong May, the US dollar (USD) has seen wide fluctuations in June. Earlier in the month, rising protectionist rhetoric from Donald Trump combined with signs of weakness in the US economy led to a surge in expectations that the Federal Reserve would be pressured to cut interest rates over the next year. While speculation that these rate cut expectations were overdone helped the US dollar to recover against a weak pound (GBP) and euro (EUR) in the middle of the month, there is still potential for the US currency to fall further. Investors are anticipating the Federal Reserve’s June policy decision, as well as other major US ecostats that could influence the outlook for the Fed and the US dollar.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT DELIGHTED to report that at the time of writing my lovely family is gathering to celebrate the arrival of my eighth decade. My estranged spouse Pauline, with whom I remain good friends, was one of those coming from Ireland accompanied by my son David. They were flying with easyJet and Pauline was travelling for the first time on her new Irish passport. All initially went well at Belfast International and, with bags duly checked in, they presented themselves at the boarding gate. Some friends of Pauline went through first, closely followed by my son. Pauline subsequently offered up her passport and boarding card to the young lady at the desk - and that’s when the problems began. Scrutinising the passport the ground crew member turned to Pauline and to her complete surprise informed her that the name on her passport didn’t match the one on her boarding card. She than pointed out although the passport displayed the name of Pauline Graham, (her married name) the boarding card said Pauline Devine. Although somewhat taken aback, but undeterred, Pauline then showed her that on the passport’s adjoining ‘remarks’ page the Embassy had typed in ‘Birth certificate name Pauline Devine.’ Up to then the exchanges had been fairly pleasant and low key, but overhearing the discussion

BOARDING GATE: That’s when the problems began.
another ground crew member then decided to move into the conversation. And she was ‘one of those!’ Apparently holding more authority than the first girl, she proceeded to snatch the Passport and in extremely loud and overbearing tones, not only informed Pauline that she would not be al-
lowed to board the plane, but sneeringly added that the information on the remarks page had in ‘no way been printed by the Embassy’ and was ‘even in a crooked line.’ Needless to say Pauline was now utterly embarrassed and completely taken aback. This un-
pleasant member of staff was, in front of a line of passengers, actually accusing her of illegally tampering with her own passport. It got worse. She then curtly told Pauline - ‘Pay us £80 and we’ll let you board the flight.’ Pauline naturally asked her to explain the reason. ‘Name change fee’ snapped the woman. With hackles now rising and not at all satisfied with this curt explanation, Pauline then informed her that she didn’t in fact have £80. My son David, on hearing the confrontation had now returned to the gate. The women promptly asked him if he had £80. When he said that he hadn’t, David then added they had to get on as they were en route to celebrate his Dad’s birthday and that all their friends were already on the plane? ‘Ring them then’ snapped the woman. ‘Get one of them to come back and pay the £80.’ With this suggestion utterly out of the question and tempers becoming decidedly frayed, Pauline now realised that they could now quite easily miss the flight and possibly even my birthday. She decided to abandon her principles and, even though the reasons were still not clear, reluctantly carded the £80 and was finally allowed to board. The next day I telephoned easyJet for an explanation. To be continued… Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Jewellery with art CONSULAR MATTERS THE image of two of the most iconic women of the 20th century, dazzled by diamonds, remains in our film culture. The image of Audrey Hepburn eating a croissant as breakfast at dawn on a deserte d 5 t h Av e n u e i n N e w Yo r k and the famous song performed by Marilyn Monroe ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ are part of the western culture and an ancient, but undoubtedly true, conception. Historically, for thousands of years in all the civilisations in which they have records, women were not allowed to have their own possessions and

recognition of their civil and political rights only goes back less than a century compared to those thousands of years of history.

The glass ceiling, salary differences, domestic violence and ancestral traditions still play against us on too many occasions. In the history of Spain, the anecdote was well-known already in the 15th century as the then Queen of Castile Isabel ‘La Católica’ had to sell her own jewels to cover the expenses of the first trip of Christopher Columbus to seek new trade routes with the Indians and Orientals which resulted in the discovery of America in 1492. In addition the jewels fulfilled, and they continue to fulfill another undoubted purpose, that is the one to foment the beauty of the person who wears them, as well as to send a clear message of the economic power. As Consul of Denmark, and

the trade delegate for Andalucia and Extremadura, part of my duties are to support and develop commercial relations between Danish and Spanish businesses and this time, my position led me to be at the presentation of the collection of the Danish jewellery brand ‘Ole Lindgaard Copenhagen’ in a famous Puerto Banus jewellery store. Ole Lindgaard Copenhagen is a family business founded in 1963 by the patriarch Ole Lindgaard (jeweller and designer), whose jewellery creations are a perfect combination of style and magic. And when the jewellery rises to the level of art, it is a pleasure to contemplate, enjoy and wear them, and if it is also an investment, the circle is complete.

I HAVE an uncle who lives in Nigeria. Called Borris. Yes, really. That’s how he spells his name. Oh, and I’m Norra. Anyway, I got an email from my uncle in Nigeria yesterday. Not only did he introduce himself and apologise for not getting in contact with me earlier in my ‘lieftime,’ he wants to send me money. Lots. £1.5 million, to be exact. And he only needs me to send him £150 so he can prepare the parcel to send me the money! What, you’ve got an uncle in Nigeria, too? The one who needed money when stranded and mugged in London, losing all his cash and credit cards? And an aunt too? The one who’s always sending you those nice emails? Isn’t surprising how so many of us have relatives in Nigeria - aren’t we just one big happy family? Every day, millions receive these bogus ‘419’ emails (so-called after a section of Nigeria’s legal code) promising millions. They’re such obvious scams it’s hard to imagine anyone falls for them. Yet police estimate that US citizens alone are annually conned out of $200m plus. And the British National Crimi-

nal Intelligence Service estimates the average loss in the UK is £35,000 plus. The sender claims to be a banker, bureaucrat, ‘royal’ toadie wanting to shift vast sums your way. But no money’s to be shifted... except yours - for the greasing of palms and acquisition of imaginary legal documents. Other versions play on your loneliness, charity or naïveté (you can’t win a lottery you didn’t enter). Fake job offer, orphan, dead bank customer, cancer patient: same weaponised scam. I’ve written before about this, but if repeated publicity saves just one more person from being conned... Finally, 5,000 people were the victims of holiday booking fraud last year, with their total losses amounting to £7m. Travel associa-

LEGALLY SPEAKING Do they need a lawyer? I became the President of a large Community (477 apartments) near Torrevieja and we need some legal advice in the following areas: 1. Interpretation of the Horizontal Property Act particularly with regard to AGMs and EGMs and what percentage votes are required for different issues. 2. To finalise a Community regulation document detailing what owners can and cannot do to their balconies/terraces. 3. To finalise a Community regulation document detailing who is responsible for repairs to balconies/terraces. M J (Costa Blanca) Why not start by talking to your property admin- YOU AND THE istrators? Are they LAW IN SPAIN registered as Administrador de Fincas? This is an official title and they should be able to provide most basic legal advice. If not, you might want to give some thought to a change. A community as large as yours needs good legal advice. Someone will know an effective lawyer. Or you could order my book, You & the Law in Spain, from Amazon or from aradford@mylawyerinspain.com. The book does not resolve every detail, but it will help you to ask the right questions and to understand the answers.

Mistique Fashion for unique style FOR great quality designer clothes at sensible prices with personal attention, there is a new shop in La Cala de Mijas awaiting ladies who want one of a kind pieces and accessories. Christina Stiksma spent her formative working years involved in the fashion industry in Paris before moving on to other areas of interest and bringing up two children. Originally from Holland, Christina spent the last 19 years running a telecommunications business in Ireland but she had two aims in life now that the children have grown, one to settle in Spain and secondly to return to her fashion roots. Within a few weeks of visiting La Cala, she decided that its charm had won her over and she purchased
a property there, then made it her goal to find a shop to allow her to import top quality fashions from Parisbased brand Missy. Thus Mistique Fashion was born and local TV celebrity and restaurateur Elliott Wright officially declared the store in Calle Nerja open just a few months ago. No-one likes to see someone else wearing the same dress or outfit and this happens regularly if you purchase from one of the many chain stores or local shops that obtain their stock from wholesale importers. Mistique is a true one-off boutique where Christina only selects the clothes that she believes will suit and flatter her customers and she only brings in single sizes of each design in order to en-
Christina outside her stylish boutique.
sure that there is little chance of an embarrassing
meeting between two ladies wearing the same items.
To her, fashion is not about size, but is about the lifestyle and the look that can be achieved although she recognises that both petite and larger ladies may sometimes find it difficult to dress as they would want to rather than in the restricted ranges that may be available. She is now finalising an arrangement with a second Paris Fashion House to import clothes from their slightly wider range so that customers of all sizes will be able to find that special outfit at her store in La Cala. Service is as important as style and Christina is more than happy to alter clothes in order for them to fit her customers properly as she recognises that not everyone is exactly the same shape or size.
There really is no comparable ladies fashion store in La Cala and in just a few months, Mistique has attracted a significant international customer base with clients contacting the shop to reserve particular garments which they have seen on the MistiqueModaLaCala Facebook page or Instagram Mistiquelacala and the next step will be to complete a website which is in progress. For exceptional quality which will last at prices which will surprise, Mistique Fashion in Calle Nerja, just around the corner from The Little Geranium is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 8pm and Christina can be contacted by calling 951 352 416 or emailing Mistiquelacalaspain@gmail .com.

What should I do in the case of a car accident? WITH temperatures soaring it’s a great feeling for all expats in this tranquilo environment; tranquilo that is until the influx of tourists, especially from Britain and the rest of Europe. With extra cars and drivers who are more used to driving on the left, an increase in the risk of traffic accidents is inevitable. Always make sure your tyre pressures are correct by checking them at least once a month, and keep radiator levels topped up. It’s also illegal to run out of screen wash, so make sure this is topped up too. Driving with flip-flops or shoes with no back is not permitted, seat belts must be worn and young children need safety harnesses. Using mobile phones are a definite no, INCLUDING texting. Tips that everyone should remember in the case of an accident:
Stay calm and wear the reflective vest. Get to a safe area near the accident scene, turn on your emergency flashers and use the two triangles. Make sure everyone is okay and call 112, if necessary. When it is safe, take pictures of the vehicles involved, damage, road signs, etc. Get statements and contact information from any witnesses. Complete the accident report: write down the other driver’s licence
STAY CALM: When safe, take pictures of the vehicles involved together with any damage. number, insurance details, vehicle information and phone number. It has to be signed by both drivers and reported within seven days.

Also on the increase are accidents which over the last few weeks have been many. It is imperative that you know what to do in the event of a road traffic accident. Firstly do you have your car insurance paperwork in the car? Do you have a Claim Form (blue and yellow form) which needs to be completed by the roadside (whenever possible) by all involved parties and signed. What is needed on the claim form:Names of drivers, telephone numbers, Policy number and Insurer details, registration numbers of vehicles, time, date and place accident happened, details of incident indicating damage to vehicles, position on road and what happened. This should be sent to your insurer within seven days of the accident who will then advise you of the next procedure. If anyone is injured they must take themselves off to the hospital and obtain a medical report (very important not to be left till the next day). Accidents can be a simple scratch to a total loss, so you can help your insurer by making sure you give them all the necessary information to ensure your

I lost my plate
MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING LAST week I couldn’t get into the public car park with my pass. The barrier wouldn’t open so I had to take a ticket and then go to the office to get them to open the barrier to let me out. I thought it strange but no more of it until the same thing happened the next day. It was only then, once parked and taking a look to see if something was covering the number plate that I saw that the front one was missing. I had no idea if it had just fallen off or had been stolen or how long I’d been driving around like that. I feel that I should have perhaps gone to the police to notify that this had happened, although in this instance I rather favour the idea that it just fell off rather than be taken for some illicit pursuit. After all, let’s face it, everyone seems to ‘touch’ park in Marbella, bumping the cars in front and behind when trying to fit in a space
MISSING PLATE: Had it fallen off or was it stolen?
with very little, if any, thought for the property they’re destroying in the process. My car has so many bangs and scratches - some even intentional, that I now prefer to
park in a car park rather than street park, particularly in the summer months, whenever I can, but it’s not always possible. Not knowing what to do and
fearing that I probably shouldn’t be driving around without a licence plate I called Linea Directa. They immediately organised a tow truck to pick me up and take
EWN 67
me to a garage. I rode in the cabin with the driver and had a lovely conversation about how he grew up with all us foreigners living in his city. His comments reflected what most Spanish locals say - “we’re good for businesses and that they don’t mind having us around, we don’t really get in their way.” As it turns out I could have driven there myself as it’s the rear licence plate which is obligatory, but it was a nice ride there getting to know more about the Spanish side of Marbella and to know that I hadn’t actually been breaking the law driving around until I realised that the registration was missing. I have to say my car looked very cool without the plate and if it weren’t for the fact that without one I won’t be able to drive easily in and out of car parks, I’d have left it off. The consolation is that the replacement was ready and on my car in under an hour, it only cost €15 and I met some really nice people! The downside is that I still have to ‘find the time’ to go to notify the police that I lost my plate.

I just need a yes or no MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man THIS week the news is full of who’s going to be the new UK PM. At the time of writing it is looking like it has to be Boris, but there is a chance it might not because of his punch up with his girlfriend, so it might be Hunt. I actually don’t care who it is, but it does p**s me off the way these people conduct themselves. Boris refuses to discuss the goings on at his girlfriend’s flat because it’s nothing to do with the great British unwashed, but the next day releases a picture of them having a nice little drink somewhere. The only problem is that picture was taken sometime before and for some reason the BJ publicity machine thought noone would notice that his hair is long in that picture and on the day of the punch up it was short. Just another BJ lie. The man is a disgrace. Forget about the lies he told about Brexit. Johnson was hired by The Times, through family connections, and fired for
a front-page fabrication within months. In November 2004, Boris Johnson was shadow arts minister under Michael Howard, Conservative Vice-Chair, and editor of the Spectator when it was reported in multiple tabloids that he had a years-long affair with one of the magazine’s columnists, which had resulted in two terminated pregnancies. He denied it and when it was proven, he lied. He was asked to resign, but refused. So he was sacked again, for dishonesty! The man’s just a pathological liar. But my biggest grump with him and, to be honest, with all politicians is their refusal to answer a direct question with a simple yes or no. In BJ’s case it’s even worse. He won’t even go on TV and debate his policies with Hunt. If I was conducting an agreed interview, I would ask him a question and say I just need a yes or no answer. If he went off on a waffle fest, I’d just say, OK interview over BJ, on yer bike son. If you can’t give a simple answer to a simple question, I’m not wasting my time with you. And, I would do that with every one of them. Or maybe they should all preface every answer with ‘I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me’ then everyone can make their own minds up.

TRAVEL
CULTURE LINK: This bridge in Girona was built by Gustav Eiffel just before he built the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
A city full of charm A HUB of Catalan culture in its own right, Girona is packed to the brim with museums, galleries and stunning buildings. The historic centre built by the city’s abundant wealth during medieval times has been well preserved over the centuries, surviving wars, sieges and revolutions. The best way to see the city is to take a walk along the medieval walls, known as the Passeig de la Muralla, that border the city centre and offer great views. Girona has one of the best preserved Jewish quarters in all of Europe called El Call, which
is a maze of narrow, cobbled streets that look just how they would have 500 years ago when the Jewish population occupied this area of the city. Another highlight that should not be missed is Girona Cathedral, which has a picturesque long staircase leading to the entrance that was used as a location to film Game of Thrones. The city has its own small airport but there is also a high-speed train service that links Girona to the Catalan capital of Barcelona, so it makes a perfect destination for a quick day trip.

TO the Editor Now there’s nothing us Brits like more than a good whinge. So here’s my tuppence worth: It’s too hot, too many tourists, too much ‘foreign’ food, the coffee and the food come out lukewarm at best, too much late night partying, too many fireworks, the sausages are pants, the Spanish don’t always speak English, there’s too many French, too many Germans, the Spanish drivers are terrible, you can only get lager, the crisps aren’t the same, the restaurants don’t open until late, the newspapers are expensive and often a day late, they don’t show cricket on the television, there’s too many bank holidays, the shops don’t open on a Sunday, the police aren’t friendly, there’s too much paperwork… I miss England, as then I would really have something serious to whinge about! Bill Robinson
African migrants HI Leapy Thanks for your great articles. I see in the letter section a reader thinks Spain should give all the arriving African migrants a job, house and anything else they might need. Why do people in Europe think it is their responsibility to do this. Most of the migrants are sub-Saharan Africans whose governments are to blame for their circumstances. Also do they not realise that by encouraging them the current trickle will turn into a flood which will change Spain beyond recognition and not for the better. Keep up the good work. Regards. Name and address supplied
In agreement HI Leapy, Just had to reply to your blog in last week’s EWN. Like you I also live in Spain, we know we are immigrants, but like some in the UK we never ask for benefits. Why do you have so many ranting at your views, I agree with your comments 99 per cent of the time. Grumpy Old Man, I also agree with his so-called rants. Objections to your comments are a minority so keep up the good work. I for one love your comments. Regards. Jess

A jolly good whinge Witty and sincere DEAR Ed On June 25 in London, there was a service of remembrance for Baroness Trumpington, a stalwart Conservative politician of the old school, who sat in the House of Lords (if you remember she was the one who ‘flicked the V’s’ at a speaker in the House of Lords a short while ago). I had the pleasure of meeting ‘Trumpers’ a few years ago, at a function. Her speech was witty, but sincere and meaningful. A short while later we were stood outside the local hall enjoying a cigarette together. She asked me the time, as she did not want to be

THE G20 summit wrapped up in Osaka, Japan on Saturday. Decisions taken there and exchanges between leaders offered telling clues on the state of international relations. All except the US reaffirmed their commitment to the Paris Climate Accords. Strong environmental positions from Spain’s acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Britain’s Theresa May ahead of the summit were also encouraging. But international commitments to cut emissions appear hollow when they do not include the world’s second-worst polluter. Exchanges with leaders were also watched closely. A video appearing to show US President Donald Trump pointing out Sanchez’s chair and telling him to sit down was seen as a snub. Other reports said the much-maligned president told Sanchez he ‘loved’ Spain, although his sincerity on matters of the heart is questionable. A lesser reported on but perhaps more interesting exchange saw Sanchez warmly greet Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and de factor ruler Mohamed Bin Salman. The Spanish defence industry’s dealings with the Saudis may have led Sanchez to offer the hand of friendship. But ample evidence linking Bin Salman to journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s killing and his country’s devastating military intervention in Yemen make such encounters difficult to watch. Smiling with a leader whose warplanes continue to drop bombs on innocent people does not make for progressive leadership.

Rubbish piles up as refuse collection strike drags on People have to have the right to protest if they’re being taken advantage of and the fact it’s ‘inconveniencing’ us is their only way to get the council to the negotiating table. I imagine they can’t possibly be getting any kind of pay while they’re striking though, so they’ll be left with no option but to continue working for peanuts. At least the streets will be clean.

TIME OUT
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You are about to tackle some tough tests. Work and personal hurdles could preoccupy you, but after the weekend you’ll be able to sort out the ice from the cream. No matter how awkward things seem on Monday or Wednesday, trust your ability to wait for the right moment, rather than risk spoiling your plans.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Feisty Mars and the fiery Sun are warring with changeable Pluto, so avoid any tearaway temptations on Thursday or Friday. You could be emotionally vulnerable, or even lulled into a false sense of security. However confusing the planets may seem, even out the odds as best you can by ensuring your worries take second place.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Hassles and battles are on the cards. If things don’t happen as fast as you’d expected, or domestic and workaday blips assail your patience, transform them into an opportunity to show your special qualities. Potent planetary influences urge you to look, listen, learn and refuse to allow petty stumbling blocks to undermine your confidence on Tuesday and Thursday.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Astrologically, it’s not unreasonable to assume that when sparky Mars and the zesty Sun conflict with restless Pluto, life could become a tad frustrating. You might find it hard to tolerate hypocrisy and setbacks, but fortunately, it’s all just a passing cloud. Regardless of any lack of continuity, concentrate on keeping going and prepare for next week’s brighter outlook.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Punchy Mars and the heady Sun are set for a scramble with touchy Pluto. You’ve been there before, so despite any administrative bumps, gossipy whirls or curious rejections, don’t be too sensitive. Add up what you’ve achieved, subtract your fears and keep your emotions under control.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Upfront Mars and the upbeat Sun will be at loggerheads with powerful Pluto. You might not appreciate some of Friday or Saturday’s antics, so be ready to use your charm, or perhaps your
equally wicked sense of humour will do the trick. Whatever comes up for review, a cool rethink could inspire you with some useful tactics.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) This is an intense week, and if you get stuck with a particular issue, jumble your words, or just can’t seem to do anything right, it might be worth finding out if the grass is greener on the other side.
‘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.’
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Quirky planetary niggles will surface without warning. A variety of talks, news and last-minute changes surround your family members, friends or colleagues. No matter what affects your personal or occupational activities, stay focused, decide what your goals are and, just as importantly, find the easiest way to move forward without losing your healing sense of humour.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Even the best-made plans can suddenly sink without a trace. Your dreams for a fresh start in one particular direction still need tender, cautious care, and you may equally need to be wary of overstepping the mark where money’s concerned.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You will need bucketloads of humour and understanding as impatient Mars and the sprightly Sun engage with touchy Pluto. Stay well clear if you want to escape potential power struggles.

Storms in tea-cups need loads of sweet-talking. Of course, if you can’t be bothered with it all, fair enough; keeping quiet could be the best way to deal with problems, glitches or sudden backfires. If you can’t take a break, at least chill out with whatever or whoever brings you the greatest pleasure.

Colours and your mind
IT’S NOT BLACK AND WHITE: See the colours all around you. calm, sadness, peace, cool, security, trust, productivity - some brands use it to tell you they are trustworthy. Green is predominantly connected with nature, good health, positive power, balance or even envy - a store will use this to tell customers they are environmentally conscious. Orange is enthusiasm and attention - like traffic lights for instance
and many posters in shops have an orange colour to get your attention. Yellow gives us sunshine, happiness, energy, warmth, emotionality used by many all over the world as the colour for hope. Black, which like white is not actually a colour, stands for power, evil, unhappiness, negativity, but also strength and intelligence.
White is the colour of clean, safe, pure, innocence, creativity. Brown is connected with being strong, reliable, warm and friendly. And while purple can be mysterious and represent mystery and wealth, pink can be the colour of kindness and romance. But most of all, let colours inspire you in a positive wonderful way whatever meaning people are giving to them. Just use the colours in your life the way you want them to be used. If you feel good with certain colours, if they make you happy and give you that uplifting feeling that you need, just go for them and give your life that wonderful colourful touch. In Spain we are so lucky that there is such a big variety of colours all around us. Just have a deeper look at this from today on. Maybe you will discover more beauty than before in nature, flowers, plants,
trees or even in buildings and other colourful things. Colours stimulate your brain every day. Find your positive colours and use them to shift your way of thinking towards the best possible way. Some nice quotes about colours are: ‘The best colour in the world is the one that looks good on you,’ Coco Chanel - ‘Colours are the smile of nature,’ Leigh Hunt - ‘Colours are brighter when the mind is open,’ Adriana Alarcon. Have a colourful life.

Toe pain - in many forms!
WWW.THEBODYWORKSCLINIC.COM
TOE pain comes in many different forms and with some fabulous titles: • Hammer Toes • Mallet Toes • Claw Toe • Bunions • Morton’s Neuroma • Metatarsalgia • Gout • Rheumatoid Arthritis And don’t each of those sound hideously painful and terribly terminal?! What they have in common All of these conditions have different triggers and impacts on the toes and feet. But there are a few things they all have in common: 1. They change the shape of your toes - instead of lying nice and flat at the end of your foot they bend and twist. 2. They make shoes uncomfortable - because shoes are designed for toes that lie flat! Especially any-
TOE PAIN: There are many different forms, so find out which one is affecting you. thing that might be called ‘pretty’ or ‘stylish’! 3. They make your toes and toe joints inflamed and swollen especially where they rub up against your shoes! 4. NONE of them are caused by ‘too tight’ shoes / heels - although wearing them right now is probably really uncomfortable! Bones, Nerves and Blood There are three broad categories of things that cause toe pain: 1. Foot Anatomy a. Hammer Toes, Mallet Toes, Claw Toe, Bunions.
b. These are all conditions which start to affect how the small bones of the toes and feet ‘sit’ together. c. Toes start to look twisted or out of place, they bend or curl over. d. Toes rub against shoes because they are out of alignment. 2. Nerve inflammation and too much pressure a. Morton’s Neuroma and Metatarsalgia. b. Excess pressure on the ball of the foot cause irritation of the nerves (Morton’s Neuroma) or swelling and irritation in the area (Metatarsalgia).
3. Other conditions a. Gout and Rheumatoid Arthritis can also cause pain, swelling and joint changes, particularly at the base of the big toe. b. These are conditions that cause system wide joint changes but can be particularly uncomfortable in the feet. What to do about it With all of the conditions mentioned toe pain is a SYMPTOM of the problem. And as I have said again and again and AGAIN over the last decade you can get all the most amazing treatment in the world, but if you are
only treating the symptom not the cause, you won’t make the progress you expect. So here’s what you can do Short term There are some wonderful tapes and gadgets which help your toes feel more comfortable. Use them if they help! There’s no point suffering if a €5 gadget makes you more comfortable. Start now Do your toe exercises! I’ve put them up on my website and Facebook page. Start doing them today Long term Take the pressure off the toes and the structures in the foot that lead up to the toes. Reduce the swelling in the toes themselves so you are comfortable enough to do your exercises. That means professional help! Orthotics and orthopaedic shoes are no longer ugly or large (at least, they don’t have to be!). There are lots of options so find the one that fits your foot and your life!

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.

PILATES is a physical fitness regime developed in the early 20th century by a German, Joseph Pilates. He developed this system of exer c i se t o st r e n g t h en both mind and body. The exercise technique is practised worldwide by around 11 million people on a regular basis and there are over 14,000 instructors in the US alone. It is said to build strength and develop control and endurance. It puts an emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, as well as claiming to improve coordination and balance. The core, consisting of the muscles of the abdomen, low back, and hips, is often called the ‘powerhouse.’ The programme of exercises consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements and emphasises proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance. The system emphasises six main principles:
HEALTH & BEAUTY
Pilates CORE STRENGTH: Pilates involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength movements. 1. Centring: This concept is defined as physically bringing the focus to the centre of the body, the ‘powerhouse.’ 2. C o n c e n t r a t i o n : To obtain maximum value from each movement, you
must bring full attention to the exercise and do it with full commitment. 3. C o n t ro l : E v e r y P i lates exercise must be done with complete muscular control. No body part is left to its own de-
vices. 4. P re c i s i o n : T h e r e i s an appropriate placement, alignment relative to other body parts, and trajectory for each part of the body in order for the exercise to be worthwhile.
5. B re a t h i n g : P i l a t e s advocates thinking of the lungs as bellows - using them strongly to pump the air fully in and out of the b o d y. B r e a t h i n g , a n d u s ing the breath properly, is an integral part of Pilates
exercise. 6. F l o w : P i l a t e s e x e rcise is done in a flowing m a n n e r. F l u i d i t y, g r a c e , and ease are the goals applied to all exercises. Pilates allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginner to advanced and in terms of the instructor and practitioner ’s specific goals and limitations. Intensity can be increased over time as the body adapts to the exercises. There is evidence that as an exercise regime, it can be beneficial, particul a r l y t o t h o s e w h o s u ff e r with back problems. The NHS website advises: ‘When choosing a Pilates teacher, you should consider their experience and the quality of their training, as well as personality and rapport. Experienced teachers will normally have undergone a minimum of 450 teacher training hours over several months or years.’ Like all regimes, it is advisable to consult a doctor first.

Simply Scandinavian - fresh, pure, tasty SCANDINAVIA is the most northern part of Europe and under the Northern lights the Nordic cuisine creates and inspires the joy of food, taste and variety, but there’s also a strong focus on health and an ethical production philosophy. Simply Scandinavian is a new trendy dining restaurant located in Los Boliches, Fuengirola. It is what the name says, a restaurant which offers fresh, pure and tasty food cooked by Scandinavian methods. They use only the best ingredients putting local producers first, but of course some ingredients come directly from Scandinavia, for example reindeer said Chef Mika Väätäinen. On the menu you’ll find fish in many ways as Scandinavian specialities are often based on fish because water is everywhere up in the north. If you’re not on the coast there will be thousands of lakes and ponds full of fresh fish. For example herring in cranberry sauce is something that you don’t find anywhere else. Also shrimps are used a lot and a delicious
with anis sauce, whilst a Danish open roast beef sandwich with horseradish is also worth trying. There is something for everyone in a Scandinavian kitchen, not forgetting vegetarians. Berries and root vegetables are often used to top up the meal. Gluten or lactose-free dishes can easily be fixed. There are a few basic rules in chef Väätäinen’s kitchen. Food with additives (e-codes) are not used and the Chefs Juuso Malila and Mika Väätäinen are proud of their kitchen. Swedish shrimp speciality is Toast Skagen which is one of the best known Scandinavian dishes. Besides fish, Scandinavians eat a lot of game. The most exotic dishes are made of reindeer and at Simply Scandinavian you’ll be able to enjoy the traditional dish from Lapland. It is sautéed reindeer with carrotpotato mash and lingonberries. Reindeer is also served as sirloin steak
Sautéed reindeer is an exotic, delicious dish.
microwave oven does not exist. Everything is prepared from scratch in the restaurant kitchen. With these rules food is tastier and healthier. Grapes don’t grow in Scandinavia so there aren’t any wines from Nordic countries, but Scandinavians are very keen on wines and the fresh and pure food goes well with good wines. Simply Scandinavian gave a challenge to German sommelier Peter Freislederer to build up an innovative and seductive wine list and he was told to place an emphasis on local Andalucian wines. This was an interesting job as to find the right wines for Scandinavian gourmets is not easy but it’s rewarding. For example they found Flor de Indalia wine from Almeria. That is just a perfect match for salted trout or roasted seabass. With reindeer the recommendation is Garum, a full bodied red wine from the Cadiz area. Simply Scandinavian is open every night except Mondays from 7pm and stays open until midnight. Visit Face book/simplyscandinavianrestaurant.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala explores the fantastic seafood available from our Andalucian coastline.
Superb Andalucian seafood! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com
LAST week I wrote about Bluefin Tuna from the Tarifa area near Cadiz, the week before that I gave you my hand dived scallop recipe that originally came from Raymond Blanc, cooked in pastry. A lot of fish? Well yes, because summer is here and we are all eating so much more fish! The arrival of summer is highlighted with the famous San Juan festival, celebrated all over our coastline. In Andalucia, San Juan is celebrated on the night of June 23 with some towns allowing the beaches to be used as campsites for a single night. On the beaches of Malaga it’s common to see people jumping over fires which, according to legend, cleanses the body and the soul.
Jumping in the sea at midnight is supposed to be a way to wash away evil spirits! After midnight, people wash their faces and feet three times in order to be granted three wishes and for a happy 12 months thereafter. Traditionally, the Spanish did not visit the beach until this day each year. The sight of thousands of people wandering into the water after midnight with the haze of bonfires everywhere and the sound, sight and smell of the firework displays is awesome! On this night, people usually eat at the Chiringuitos on our beaches, many opting for paella which is a great choice for the family, we all dig in and enjoy. There really is so much fantastic fish to experiment with on our coastline and here are a few examples of what Andalucia is internationally famous for: Fresh sardines and anchovies from Malaga region, prawns, mussels and clams from Huelva (on the Atlantic coast below ,) tuna, scallops, shrimps and sea snails from the Cadiz area, beautiful lobsters and concha fina from
THE LITTLE TEAM: Raul, Steven and Prince.
all over the Med, sea bass, black bass, squid, mackerel, bream and swordfish can all be found in the waters where the Atlantic meets the Med in the Manilva/Duquesa areas, where the mix of waters makes the perfect marine life. I love to have most if not all of it on my menu, but it’s expensive! For example Lobsters are very ex-
pensive here, Canadian ones can be almost half the price (although they are easily half the quality!), concha fina and good quality clams also command a high price as well as the fantastic tuna from Tarifa and Barbate, so be prepared to pay! One of my biggest selling starters has to be the shellfish selection of mussels, clams, concha fina, scallops and
prawns, all superbly fresh and all from the places on my list above. There is no point in buying frozen when there is so much fresh fish here. I steam the clams and mussels and griddle the scallops and prawns and serve it all with a sauce similar to a classic bouillabaisse made into a light foam. Originally I had it on the menu with a spiced coconut foam which I thought was yum, but my regulars preferred the shellfish sauce, so now I offer both! It’s an easy dish to cook, you can serve one large bowl in the centre of the table ideal for a steamy hot summer’s day lunch or dinner not too heavy and seriously tasty. Serve it with crusty warm bread and some rice. I often make the rice taste a bit like paella at home by adding saffron and spices, everyone always raves about it. So make the most of the superb fish from our coastline this summer, lighten up your food ready for the heatwave! Serve this dish with an ice cold bottle of Albariño white wine and some agua. Enjoy!

Shellfish For the Sauce (lobster sauce / bisque) Serves six 250g of trimmings and shells from a lobster (can be a frozen lobster) 200g of whole prawns 1 heaped tablespoon tomato paste 1 litre (approx) of the cooking liquor from the cooked clams / mussels, see below) 2 sticks of fresh celery (chopped) 1 leek (cleaned and washed and chopped into smallish pieces) 1 onion (peeled and sliced) 4 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced) 2 pieces star anise 2 glasses white wine 1 small glass of brandy 250 ml thick cream 50g of unsalted butter 250 ml of warmed milk (see recipe below as this is used later) ½ lemon (As an option, add samphire or chopped parsley at end of recipe) Method In a large pan sweat off the shells and fish
pieces and add the whole prawns. Now add the vegetables and star anise with the shells and prawns until the veg colours a little. Now add the tomato paste and then finally the fish stock. Cook out on simmer for at least an hour. To finish add the wine, cook it out for a couple of minutes then add the cream, whisk it in and cook on a low heat for five minutes, then pass the contents through a sieve mashing as much of the prawn and shells to extract the flavour or use a blender and blend the contents and then pass through a sieve into a fresh pan and reduce a little. Finally add the brandy and whisk in and taste and adjust seasoning. Add the butter and whisk in. Now add the warmed milk and use your electric hand blender and blend until light and foamy, pour over the fish and serve immediately. (If you need the sauce to be a little thicker add a little cold water to a little corn flour and whisk in. Ensure that you cook the corn flour out for a minimum of five minutes on the heat if using)
Arrange fish in a bowl and pour over the sauce.
Ingredients for the fish 1 small net of fresh clams (soak in cold water to remove any grit) 1 net of fresh mussels (soak, clean and remove barnacles ) 12 tiger style prawns peeled 6 fresh scallops removed from the shells and rinsed 6 concha fina (soaked and washed inside the shell as they usually contain sand and grit)
1 onion finely chopped 4 cloves garlic peeled and finely sliced Half a bottle of dry white wine 125g of unsalted butter To cook the fish Heat a large sauce pan on the stove with nothing in it When the pan is very hot drop in the clams, mussels and concha fina Now add the white wine and the garlic and the onion Now add the butter and stir in Put a lid on the saucepan and bring liquid to the boil When boiling remove lid and stir and remove fish with a slotted spoon. Reserve the liquor and pass through a fine sieve into the shellfish sauce above Griddle or fry the scallops and the prawns but do not overcook Arrange all the fish in a lovely bowl Add the blanched samphire to the bowl if using Taste the foamy sauce (above) and pour over the fish Finally squeeze over the lemon and serve.

The road to rescue is rocky! ANOTHER two rescued equines arrived at Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre last week, but as always there were many more calls for help regarding such animals. EHCRC already has nearly 120 rescued horses, ponies and donkeys and it is logistically impossible for them to take every animal that people ask them to. They have to focus their attention on those animals most in need and in conjunction with the Police and Guardia Civil. Hence reporting cases of abuse or abandonment ie making a ‘denuncia’ to the Guardia Civil/Police
BARRY DUKE ANYONE with an atom of sense knows that if you buy eggs you place them at the top of your shopping bag or trolley and not at the bottom where they will inevitably be cru sh e d b y o t h e r p u rchases. And that’s exactly what I did last Friday afternoon after bu y i n g a t r a y o f 2 4 . Then disaster struck. A little old lady lost her balance on the bus in which I was travelling and crashed into my shopping bag. There was a sickening crunch. When I got home, I knew the bag would be a horror, but I u n d e r e st i m a t e d th e sheer scale of the mishap. All but one of the eggs had broken, and a week’s shopping beneath was soaked in yolk and albumen. This was the third of a number of incidents that set me thinking that I’d somehow a n n o y e d E r i s, th e Greek goddess of strife and
is paramount (details of how to do this can be found on EHCRC website below). EHCRC functions without any governmental funding and relies on donations, volunteers, their charity shops and the 24/7 unrelenting drive of the Co-Founders, Sue and Rod Weeding. The first of these rescues is a darling little pony. EHCRC received a phone call from URMA, the Local Police in Callosa de Segura - they had received an anonymous call to say there was a little pony in an ap-
palling state. They phoned EHCRC and as always Rod dropped everything to go there straight away. She is the sweetest little thing, about nine years old, she is covered in sores with dreadful skin problems, she is very malnourished and her feet are in an awful state. Dorothea, their equine vet, has given her a full check up and she is receiving the care she so justly deserves. The Police want Dorothea’s report as they are determined to take this case to Court. Another step forward in animal welfare. The second rescue is an adorable
donkey, now named Luisa. The Centre received a call from Protectora Pels Pèls Crevillent, an animal organisation from Crevillente in the Alicante Province. The owners of a property had called them in the morning after they had found a donkey, abandoned and tied to the fence of their house, in very poor condition with a huge lump under her tummy. Pels Pèls don’t have the facilities to keep a donkey, so they asked EHCRC for help. The Hospital Veterinario San Vicente in Alicante, agreed to do the
operation and she is now recovering well. Many thanks to the Local Police in Callosa de Segura and Crevillente for their prompt action. As always EHCRC would like to thank all their supporters, and to donate or find out more check out their website www.easyhorse care.net. You can visit our two latest rescues and all the other residents on our next open day July 7, 1pm to 4pm. More info on www.easyhorse care.net or find us on Facebook.
Black Friday discord. First, my freezer d e c id ed to ta k e a le a k. When I got up to make my first cup of coffee of the day, I skidded in a pool of w a te r in th e k itc h en a nd ended up flat on my back. Then I discovered a glitch in the comments section of one of the websites I run. Normally, I get loads of co mmen ts b en ea th e a c h item I post, but I noticed that several days’ posts had not attracted a single comment. Puzzled, I checked the moderation folder, and found that several hundred w e re la n g u is h in g th ere , waiting approval. Further investigation revealed that Disqus, through w h ich all c o mmen ts a re fu n n e lle d , h a d - w ith o ut warning - erected a barrier against hundreds of ‘restricted’ words: words like ‘beer,’ ‘monster,’ ‘idiot,’ ‘pot,’ ‘crack,’ ‘gay,’ ‘panties’ and, most most un-
BROKEN EGGS: I underestimated the sheer scale of the mishap. fathomable of all, ‘job.’ Meanwhile I was getting dozens of emails and messages from angry commentators demanding an explanation for what they
perceived as censorship on my part. But the worst was yet to come. After I had dealt with the website problem and returned home late with my
shopping, I set about washi ng di shes at ar ound 11.30pm. I then got distracted by a phone call. As I was speaking, I became aware of water lapping at my feet.
Real i si ng I ’ d l ef t t he t ap running, I sprinted into the kitchen to turn it off, skidded and crashed to the tiles - again! Then the lights went out. Water had seeped into our cooker and tripped the main fuse. So by torchlight and standing in an inch of water, I had t o get i nt o t he electrics of the cooker and dry everything off. An hour later I managed to restore the electric supply, and it took 90 minutes to mop up the water. Then I knocked my mobile phone into the filled-tothe-brim mop bucket. Of course by then my plan to sit down in front of the telly with a steak dinner was out of the question. So, I chose a curry pot noodle instead. Just as I sat down to eat it, I heard a rending crash. A large clock had fallen off the wall, and there were shards of glass everywhere. The not poodl e, as I choose to call the things, went i nt o t he bi n and I swallowed a sleeping pill and crawled into bed.

Superfast internet at sensible prices EXPERIENCE is what counts the most when you are looking for any service and on the Costa del Sol with more than 50 years in business the Experience Group is ideally placed to help you. Their electronics division, based at Bena Vista between San Pedro Alcantara and Estepona has been in the forefront of development of internet and telecommunications services between Malaga and Algeciras since the 1990s. At one time, it was traumatic to even try to install a landline in your home, but now this coast is in the forefront of technology in both Fibre Optic and 4G internet and the specialist staff in the Experience Group have kept completely up-to-date with all of the developments. Nowadays, technology on the Costa del Sol has even outstripped the UK so that Fibre Optic internet connection is delivered direct to your home rather than via coax cable which is the norm in Britain and overall, the service is one of
The next step will be 5G which will be even faster once fully introduced. In addition to these superb internet options, there is a terrific range of the latest Smart TVs on display in the showroom and these are ready for delivery, installation and tuning by their expert technicians. Not everyone wants to be tied to Spanish TV so the company also offers a selection of packages for satellite and internet free to air TV channels, some of which include a 28-day catch option.
EXPERIENCE GROUP: The internet is at your service.
the best in Europe. Speeds of from 100 Meg to 500 Meg are perfectly possible and some of the services offered are great for owners of holiday properties as they can be turned on when you are here
and turned off when you are not, with charges only being made when the service is being used. Not everywhere has access to Fibre yet but the EXP-CONNECT service which offers internet of up to 20 Meg
via 4G almost everywhere along the coast is a very useful service which comes at a fixed monthly price with no download limits and in some cases this can also be offered on an on/off basis.
It’s not just TVs but many homes now look for a complete sound system in the house so for top quality Sonos and Bose equipment as well as Blue Ray find out more, by calling 952 885 379, send an email to alanj@exg spain.com, go to their website www.internet Andalucia.com or better still see it all for yourself at the showroom in Centro Comercial Bena Vista 16, 33, 34 El Paraiso km167 Estepona.

FOUNDED in Barcelona in 1904, by Damián Mateu and Marc Birkigt, Hispano Suiza is a luxury Spanish car brand owned by four generations of the Suqué Mateu family. At the Geneva Motor Show in March, the company launched the Carmen which combines hypercar-rivalling performance with exquisite luxury, painstaking craftsmanship and meticulous attention to technical and engineering details. The all-new fully-electric Carmen has been created from the ground up to deliver an

exceptional and luxurious driving experience. The hyperlux grand tourer features motorsport-derived technologies to achieve superb handling, a 0 - 100 km/h time of under three seconds, and an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h.
The level of luxury, comfort and character that Hispano Suiza had in the 20th century has been combined with the powerful, safety and technological parts and materials today. All of that without
losing what Hispano Suiza really is. A custom-made electric powertrain employs two motors to deliver 750kW (1019 PS) to the rear wheels and carbon fibre monocoque and body panels keep weight under 1,690 kg.
LAUNCHED: The luxurious Carmen.
New Tesla pickup announced IN a recent hour-long podcast Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he’s aiming to price the company’s new pick-up truck at under $50,000 (€44,000) and have it outperform the industry’s best-selling vehicle, the Ford F series, but with a futuristic sci-fi design. Musk said that the new vehicle will combine the functionality of a conventional truck and assured everyone that the new vehicle will be better than Ford’s F150 but additionally, he commented, that it will be a better sports car than a standard Porsche 911. “It’s kind of like a ‘Blade Runner’ truck, that’s the idea. It’s not going to be for everyone. When we unveil this thing, there’ll be some people who are like, ‘Oh, that doesn’t look like a truck; I don’t want to buy it.’ It’s like when they came out with automobiles, people were like, ‘Oh, I like a horse and carriage.’ Sure, OK, you can stick with your horse and carriage, but you’re going to get an automobile later. You just don’t know it.’ Last year on Twitter, Musk claimed the pick-up will come with dual-motor all-wheel drive, as standard, a suspension that adjusts dynamically for load and ‘crazy torque.’ He also said it will have power outlets to accommodate heavyduty, 240-volt power tools. Musk said he hoped that full details of the truck will be revealed this summer.
DS3 Crossback Performance Line ROAD TEST
DS3 CROSSBACK: Has genuine wow-factor.
by Nick Fletcher DS AUTOMOBILES is a fastgrowing car brand - the premier division of the French PSA Group which includes Citroen, Peugeot and Vauxhall-Opel - and DS is making quite an impact with its stylised cool-image designs which really turn heads. The new DS3 Crossback is a fine example a compact SUV which has a genuine wow-factor and grabs immediate attention. Available in petrol, diesel and all-electric form, this model competes in a tough sector which includes the VW T-Cross, Audi A2 and Mini Countryman and while they all have their own plus-points, the DS wins on sheer visual impact. DS prices start at €24,186 (£21,555) but to get more standard kit you have to move up range and my recent test mod-
el was a top-spec Performance Line version priced at €30,806 (£27,455). It has the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine giving a hefty 155 hp and is mated to an eight-speed auto gearbox. This combination delivers a zesty 0-100 kph time of 8.2 seconds and it tops out at 208 kph (129 mph). Given the powerful performance, the average fuel figure of 14.7 kpl

(41.7 mpg) is quite respectable. Underway, the car is eagerly responsive, with smooth auto gearshifts. The steering is light so feedback is rather limited but you still get a sense of grip and composure and feel fully in control. Ride comfort is good unless you are on very rough surfaces when the suspension set-up
transmits the bumps. Cabin accommodation offers adequate head and leg room front and rear and while the 350-litre boot is not among the largest in the class, it is still fine for most everyday needs and does expand to 1,050 litres with the rear seats down. Where this DS outshines its rivals is its street-image the exterior design of flowing curves and striking features is an outstanding example of famous French flair and that extravagance continues in the cabin where beautifully crafted detailing of the dashboard, doors and gearshift make you feel you are in something that is quite special. And that feeling is particularly important in the SUV sector where a distinctive and exclusive image is often a key factor.

The ‘Great British Women in the Car Industry - Rising Stars’ Award
SUV: The Peugeot 2008 is due for release later this year.
Peugeot 2008 SUV PEUGEOT, the French automotive manufacturer, has announced the launch of a new SUV, the Peugeot 2008, it is billing as a next generation SUV. The series will give the option to choose between three types of efficient engines: 100 kW (136 hp) electric, a three-cylinder engine; 1.2L petrol engine and hourcylinder, 1.5L diesel engine. The electric power unit will provide a power of 100 kW (136 hp) and a torque of 260 NM to ensure ease in all situations. The 50kWh high capacity battery will provide a range of up to 310 km according to the new WLTP standard. This battery will be guaranteed for eight years or 160,000 km for 70 per cent of its charging capacity. The batteries will be optimally installed in the floor, ensuring that choosing an electric version won’t affect the performance of the new SUV Peugeot 2008. This ensures the same room and boot volume as the internal combustion versions. The charging time depends on the power available: - 16 hours for full charge from a Legrand® Green Up™ plug - between five hours 15 minutes and eight hours for a complete charge with a WallBox (three phase 11 kW with optional charger or single phase 7.4 kW) - 30 minutes to recover 80 per cent of battery with the 100 kW public
terminals, the thermal regulation of the battery makes it possible to use terminals with this power. The programmable delayed charge is available from the navigation screen or from your smartphone with a unique application. This can also start charging at any time and allows you to check the charge level remotely. Peugeot says it will assist owners with the installation of their power supply unit and provide a specialised route-planner, encompassing roadside charging locations. In line with the latest Euro 6 standards, the internal combustion engines will feature the latest technological
advances and are all equipped with Stop and Start and a particle filter. An option is for either the Petrol or diesel models to have the EAT8 automatic system, their eight-speed automatic gearbox. The exterior has been remodelled, but it’s inside that this range really catches attention. Its length of 4.30m and its wheelbase of 2.60m will give the series a volume of up to 434 L with a two-position floor (depending on versions). The design provides a virtually flat floor once the bench is folded. For the driver, the range will boast a compact steering
wheel for better handling and better grip - a large HD touch screen at your fingertips - and now an innovative 3D heads-up receiver, where information will be placed in the driver’s line of sight. Depending on the version, the Peugeot 3D instrument cluster will project information like a hologram. Where the details will even appear to get closer to the eye depending on their degree of importance or urgency, thereby, it is claimed increasing reactivity by around half a second. In addition, the 10 loudspeaker music system will use technologies patented by Focal usually reserved for living room installations.
EMMA KING, Ford’s senior purchasing manager at the forefront of the marque’s €11bn investment in electric vehicles, has been named the winner of Autocar’s Great British Women in the Car Industry - Rising Stars 2019 initiative, held in partnership with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). King started her career as a commercial vehicle buyer for Ford in 2007 and has risen through the ranks to lead the firm’s electric vehicle purchasing team across the US, the EU and China. She has been an instrumental part of teams driving key technological changes in the industry. Her most recent role has involved heading up the procurement of global battery cells, coming at a crucial time for Ford as it restructures its business and prepares for the rapid growth in electrified vehicles. Autocar editor, Mark Tisshaw, said: “Emma’s impressive rise at Ford is the perfect showcase for everything we are celebrating here today. The car industry is always experimenting, pushing boundaries and looking into new technologies, and Emma’s role perfectly highlights how exciting it is to be a part of.” King said: “It is a huge privilege to have been chosen as this year’s winner of Autocar’s Great British Women in the Car Industry, and I would like to convey my thanks to the entire team.”

Spain on top of Europe By Dilip Kuner SPAIN looks to have a new generation of potential world-beaters after they beat Germany 2-1 to become champions of Europe for the fifth time. They gained revenge for a loss to the same opposition in Krakow two years ago to equal Italy’s record for the most titles in the UEFA competition. The Spanish players started confidently with some crisp passing and excellent possession play that left the German youngsters chasing shadows, at least initially. Luis de la Fuente’s men soon took advantage to open the scoring, with Napoli’s Fabian Ruiz taking a pass from Mikel Oyarzabal in the seventh minute to beat the German keeper with a powerful leftfoot shot from the edge of the area. After Fabian’s goal, the match settled down with both teams enjoying periods of domination, although there was a lack of clear opportunities. Spain just about edged the rest of the first half, although Germany had halfchances through Levin Öztunali and Jonathan Tah. After the break it was Germany who came out the stronger, although Stefan Kuntz’s young players still struggled to create real openings.
WINNERS: Spain rook their fifth UEFA u21s title. Forced to chase the game, Germany started to leave space at the back as they played a high press, leaving themselves open to fast breaks. After Alexander Nübel failed to hold a Fabián Ruiz snapshot, Dynamo Zafreb’s Dani Olmo put in Spain’s second goal. A late long-range goal from Nadiem Amiri was no more than a consolation for the Germans. Spain’s coach Luis de la Fuente said: “We’ve been working for this for years. This is a group of players who are fantas-
tic and so talented. It’s so important for Spain and Spanish football for these young lads to get the praise they deserve. I am more than proud of these players. We’ve played so, so well at times in this tournament. I can only say well done to these players, who can make history.” Stefan Kuntz, Germany coach SAID: “We started the game not very well; Spain were very tough and we made a few errors. We then changed tactics in the second half and improved, but the second goal was a psychological blow.”

Max takes Austria F1 win MAX VERSTAPPEN took his sixth career GP win and his second consecutive Austrian Grand Prix victory after a storming drive. He needed all his skill and determination to steer his Red Bull to first position at the team’s home track following a dreadful start. Verstappen’s march to his sixth career win, the team’s 60th and the first for power unit partner Honda in 13 years looked scuppered at the off. When the lights went out the Dutchman’s RB15 bogged down and he was immediately swamped by cars around him on the grid. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc powered away in the lead ahead of Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, Verstappen dropped to P7. Ahead of the first round of pit stops Leclerc had built an almost five-second advantage over Bottas, who triggered what would be for most of the leading pack a single pit stop.
Bottas made a clean stop, but there was no such luck for Vettel. The Ferrari driver’s crew were not ready with a set of hard tyres and the German was forced to sit stationary for six seconds as a front left wheel was located and fitted. Leclerc made his stop at the end of the following lap and he emerged in P3 behind new leader Hamilton and Verstappen. Hamilton pushed too hard and damaged his front wing. At the end of lap 30 he pitted for hard tyres and a new wing. The stop saw Hamilton stand still in his pit box for 11 seconds. Red Bull responded and brought Verstappen in for a set of hard tyres and he emerged four seconds clear of Hamilton, in fourth place. The Dutch ace quickly began to close up to third-placed Vettel and on lap 47 he closed to within DRS range of the Ferrari driver. On lap 50 he made it past, then took Bottas six laps later.

YAMAHA are celebrating a hard-fought win at the TT Circuit Assen after M a v e r i c k Vi ñ a l e s d e l i v ered a strong race performance to beat Marc Marquez into second place. But the team’s other ride r, Va l e n t i n o Rossi crashed out on lap five, taking out Takaaki Nakagami with him. Viñales had a good start from P2, but a wobble in turn one looked to have cost him. He fell back to fourth, where he stayed at the completion of the first lap. There was a small scrap between him and Marc Marquez early on, until the number-12 rider noticed the three front men g e t t i n g a w a y, p r o m p t i n g him to make his move. As he chased the race leaders, frontrunner Álex Rins crashed his Suzuki.

From there on in there was no c a t c h i n g Vi ñ a l e s a s h e opened up a lead. The Spaniard kept his concentration until the very end and took the che-

These have been difficult times for me, because I’ve been out of the three tracks where I thought I had the most potential with the bike. “My season has been difficult, but I’ve tried to keep the momentum from Catalunya, because I felt really good on the bike.
I’m so grateful to the team, because they did a great job this weekend and prepared well for the last laps of the race. “I was strong, even oneto-one on the brakes, I knew I could make the overtakes. It was very important to relieve some of the pressure by taking a victory.” He added: “I think the team will be more relaxed n o w.
