Brits’ charity trek TWO British expatriates raised more than €5,000 for prosthetic limbs for a Marbella woman after completing a 24-hour trek from the Costa del Sol to the Sierra Nevada on Saturday. Chris Grenfell and Jansen Riley journeyed from Marbella to the Granada Province mountain range in aid of Sarah Almagro Vallejo. The Trifit Marbella Challenge saw them first swim five kilometres off Marbella. They then cycled around 255 kilometres from there to Granada City before running 50 kilometres up Europe’s highest tarmac road on the Pico Velata, all in 24 hours. Chris told Euro Weekly News: “Overall it was a great 24 hours. A hard 24 hours, but everyone

THE Malaga Metro team has bulldozed through an ancient Muslim archaeological site that has been there since the 11th century. The Guadalmedina train station has taken precedence over the centuries old Nasrid Wall and has thusly replaced it. Some archaeologists have expressed that the Nasrid area was so
unique that it seemed to defy the effects of time and appeared as though it had been unchanged for almost a millennia. The Department for Culture in Andalucia is apparently furious with the decision to build over this historic site and has declared the actions of the Malaga Metro as ‘unforgivable’ in a recent council statement.

Anderson, who helped the club secure its re-entry into the league, said meetings with Ruiz and Matt Gore, of the club, were ‘very positive.’ “Two years ago the club was excluded from the local leagues after winning the championships in three age groups,” Anderson said. Ruiz Leon previously said: “You have my commitment to resolving this issue and in time to compete in the new season. We need to resolve this for the sake of the children.”
Knife attack LOCAL POLICE officers were called to a Manilva hotel last week after a man was seen holding another blindfolded over a balcony while threatening him with a blood-stained knife. Footage take by witnesses at the Duquesa resort appeared to show the victim barely clothed and screaming. He is also believed to have had his throat cut. Police were able to access the block after a British couple let them have their keys. A suspect has since been arrested.

FINANCE STUNNING: Riaño faces the Picos de Europa range in Castilla y Leon.
Best village THIS picture of a village in Castilla y Leon comes as it was recently crowned the best in Spain following a public vote. Riaño, in Leon Province, was n a m e d 2 0 1 9 ’s B e s t Vi l l a g e i n Spain after winning almost 20,210 votes in Cadena Ser’s contest. It beat the town of Frigiliana, in Andalucia’s Malaga Province, by more than 5,700 votes. Riaño and Frigiliana came first and second in the poll which saw 50 villages vie to be named
Spain’s best. Riaño lies close to Castilla y Leon’s border with Asturias in the north of Spain. It sits 1,148 metres above sea level and covers an area of almost 98 square kilometres. The village which stands today is known as Nuevo Riaño (New Riaño). It was built after the original village, which dated from the 18th century, was demolished to make way for a reservoir in 1987. The modern-day village is home to 474 people, according to the lat-
est census data from 2018. Riaño and the surrounding area are known for their natural beauty. It lies in the so-called Spanish Switzerland which is popular with skiers and for other winter sports. The village has been part of the Mountains of Riaño Regional Park since 2016. It lies opposite the Picos de Europa range. Riaño is also known for the Church of San Martin de Pedrosa del Rey which was built in the 13th century.
Hotel sickness claim
Doctor attack
A GROUP of people who caught gastroenteritis while staying at a Torremolinos hotel are set to file legal proceedings against the establishment following another outbreak this year. The legal case comes after around 50 cases of the intestinal condition, symptoms of which include vomiting and diarrhoea, were recorded at the MarConfort hotel in June and July. It also follows similar outbreaks which have occurred at the same hotel during the last decade. A total of 500 guests are thought to have been infected during that time. One outbreak last year saw at least 60 guests of the hotel infected from July 20 last year, according to the Junta de Andalucia’s Health Department. The hotel has been signed off by health and hygiene inspectors and it has previously blamed the outbreaks on the sewage system which serves it. “We have scrupulously fulfilled our obligations,” the hotel previously said.
MEDICAL staff protested outside a Malaga Province hospital on Tuesday following two new assaults at health centres this week, one of them in Marbella. The Medical Union of Malaga (SMM) said it condemned the ‘unfortunate’ incidents and that they seemed to be becoming normalised. The union called on the Junta de Andalucia to take ‘immediate’ action including installing panic buttons and more security cameras at health centres. Malaga Healthcare Assistance Committee (ASM) President Francisco Javier Aranda said the Marbella attack saw a female medical worker assaulted while on a call in Marbella marina. “The woman was surrounded by people who were assaulting her and screaming. She called me crying and says she is now afraid to work,” Aranda said. The union official added medical workers needed ‘dignified’ working conditions.

CRUEL: Dogs were left with no food or water.
Left dogs to die By Dilip Kuner A WOMAN who left a chihuahua and a crossbreed dog alone with no food or water for at least a week has been charged with animal cruelty. The chihuahua, which she was looking after for a friend, died and the other animal was on the verge of death when found by police.
A neighbour had called them after hearing incessant barking and noticing a strong smell coming from the home in Alhaurin el Grande. This was at the start of January 2016, with investigations revealing the defendant had left the home locked up two days before Christmas. Police found the chi-
huahua dead on the sofa, with the other dog in a ‘pitiful state.’ According to the accusation, the probable cause of the dog’s death and the other animal’s poor condition was ‘malnutrition and dehydration caused by the defendant, who, knowing that these animals were in the place, left them in those conditions.’

She alerted her husband, who rushed to help, aware that time is of the essence in these cases. The child was already being cared for by the hotel’s sector chief, Juani González, who like the rest of the workers have first aid qualifications. “Everything happened very quickly, in thousandths of a second,” explained Victor. “I took the child, who had turned blue, and I put him face down to give him a few slaps on the back.” What he put into practice was the Heimlich manoeuvre, a first aid procedure that removes obstructions from the airway, using the variant for babies and young children.

TROUBLE: Inflation in Venezuela is over 10 million per cent causing global unrest.
Oil boss found dead THE head of the Venezuelan oil company PDVSA has been found dead in an office in Madrid. The circumstances surrounding the death of Juan Carlos Marquez Cabrera are currently being investigated but police have so far eluded to suicide as the most obvious cause. Cabrera is of Spanish origin but had worked in Venezuela for many years under the lead-
ership of Hugo Chavez. For his role in the Venezuelan oil industry he was always a character of great interest for the US due to the ties that they and Russia both share in the business. Cabrera was allegedly prepared to divulge sensitive details pertaining to the Venezuelan oil industry at a US court hearing after receiving several corruption charges from a
judge in Madrid last week. The accused claimed that he knew many things in relation to Venezuela’s biggest export such as the origin of several million dollar transactions that have gone under the radar. After Cabrera was reportedly found dead with his belt wrapped around his neck earlier this week, the judge ordered that the case be investigated immediately.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS By Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S acting prime minister is once again courting smaller parties in the Congress of Deputies to secure support for a return to power after his investiture vote failure. Pedro Sanchez began by travelling to Valencia City to meet with representatives from the regional Compromis party. He was joined by the leftleaning Partido Socialista’s (PSOE) Organisational Secretary and acting Development Minister Jose Luis Abalos. Acting Finance Minister Maria Jesus Montero said ahead of the visit that Sanchez would keep ‘discreet’ channels of communication open with such parties. Sanchez’s current situation is a far cry from PSOE’s triumphalism following April’s general election and May’s local, regional and European vote. Although PSOE won 123 seats, short of the 176 needed for a majority, a deal with the leftist Podemos and a handful of smaller parties seemed like a
Back to the table
TRYING AGAIN: Sanchez is attempting to secure support. foregone conclusion. That, coupled with the rout of the conservative Partido Popular (PP) and an underwhelming showing from the far-right Vox despite forecasts they would bag several seats, gave the left confidence. But now the picture is completely different. PSOE’s talks with Podemos ran until the 11th hour but came to naught, resulting in the latter abstaining in two investiture
votes which Sanchez lost. That began a countdown for the acting prime minister to strike a workable deal and restage the votes by Monday September 23 or hold another election. Hence this week’s meeting with Compromis. The party has one seat in Congress, but Sanchez needs all the support he can get. King Felipe, whose constitutional duties include overseeing
indecisive electoral outcomes such as April’s, has said he would prefer politicians to reach an agreement before returning to the polls. Uncertainty abounds, but one constant is that the PP and the centrist Ciudadanos both remain steadfast in their decision to vote against Sanchez’s investiture come what may. Both parties have no doubt factored in the possibility of another election which could see the PP in particular claw back its April losses. But the approach is placing a strain on Ciudadanos. Leader Albert Rivera recently packed the party’s National Executive with figures loyal to his approach after a raft of protest resignations. Meanwhile, Podemos sources indicated they wanted to reopen talks with Sanchez. But their chances of getting a coalition offer may have narrowed since they rejected the last one.
Coalitions common POLITICIANS across Spain’s regions have overwhelmingly acquiesced to coalition deals to govern after May’s elections while their national counterparts continue trying to come to terms with the fractured political landscape. Analysis in Spanish media this week showed almost 40 million Spanish people now live under coalition governments at a regional level. Only four regional governments, Asturians, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha and Galicia are run by one party. The left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) controls the former three while the conservative Partido Popular (PP) rules the latter. Elsewhere coalitions, sometimes featuring multiples parties, are the norm. Aragon and the Canary Islands are both governed by four-way coalitions. Two or three parties tends to be more common, and the way they align shows who could be prepared to work with who nationally. The PP governs in four regions, Andaucia, Castilla y Leon, Madrid and Murcia, thanks to pacts with the centrist Ciudadanos. The pact struck between the two parties in Andalucia at the start of this year, including backing from the far-right Vox, has become their blueprint for achieving regional power. Elsewhere PSOE typically sides with the leftist Podemos achieving what acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez could not. It also tends to work with regionalist parties.
Poll tracker: • Partido Socialista (PSOE): 36.1 per cent, 137 seats • Partido Popular (PP): 17 per cent, 70 seats • Ciudadanos: 12.6 per cent, 37 seats • Unidos Podemos: 12.3 per cent, 33 seats • Result: PSOE largest party, no overall control

POSSIBLE SITE: The Isaac Newton Telescope network in La Palma.
La Palma wants the TMT telescope THE Minister for Science, Innovation and Universities Pedro Duque has claimed that La Palma is ready to set up the Thirty Metre Telescope (TMT) on the island if it is not sanctioned in Hawaii. Activists in Hawaii are protesting against the installation of the giant telescope on their island as scientists want to build it on the sacred
summit of Mauna Kea which is the tallest volcano in Hawaii and when measured from its underwater base, the tallest mountain in the world. At over 4,000 metres above sea level, the dormant Mauna Kea is perfect to look into space as there is minimal cloud cover and the clarity of the sky is close to the transparency of the sky in the Atacama desert, the
driest place in the world. In a meeting at the Council of the Astrophysics Institute of the Canary Islands (IAC) between IAC director Francisco Rebolo and Minister for the Economy, Knowledge and Government Employment Carolina Darias, the Minister appeared fully committed and ready to build the TMT on the Canary Island at a moment’s notice.
ITV appointment problems in Mallorca THE ITV (the inspection of vehicles) is something that all vehicles have to pass in Spain to ensure that all cars are working properly and safe to drive. Driving a car that does not have an ITV will result in a fine of €200. But in Mallorca, there are reportedly no appointments available until at least November at most centres and none until December in Palma. If you decide to go to the ITV without an appointment then you could be waiting up to four to five hours to be seen. This huge backlog is causing concern amongst motorists who wish to stay within the law and pass the ITV and avoid the €200 fine but cannot afford to wait until
the end of the year or spend four or five hours in a queue. This concern has reportedly given rise to ‘fraudulent appointments’ appearing online offering a previously booked slot for €100. To combat these fraudulent appointments, the president of the Consell de Mallorca, Catalina Cladera, and the director of Mobility and Infrastructures, Ivan Sevillano, has announced a measure that should streamline the system and avoid long waiting lists. “Al l t hose appoi nt m ent s t hat do not have a registration number will be released. They amount to 14,800,” Sevillano told the media.

Belgians rescued GUARDIA CIVIL have rescued two Belgian hikers who became lost and stranded in a Spanish mountain range. The duo had been making their descent from a walk in the Picos de Europa in northern Spain when they came to a particularly difficult passage.

They managed to contact Guardia Civil with their coordinates, who sent a mountain rescue team in a helicopter to find them. In an operation made difficult by fog, they were located and picked up at an altitude of 2,000 metres. They were then taken to a cable car station where they were found to be unharmed but exhausted.

Electric scooter death THE first fatal accident caused by an electric scooter in Spain will result, at most, in the payment of a fine. The rider of the scooter f a c e s a c h a rg e o f a r e c k less misdemeanour, which does not carry a prison sentence. One of the key reasons the accident is considered a misdemeanour is that he was driving at less than 10 kilometres an hour. On August 13 last year, Berta, a 90-year-old woman, was walking with the help of a frame along the Rambla del Carme, in Esplugues de Llobregat (Barcelona). She was returning home after her

Domestic violence death toll JULY was a bloody month when it came to domestic violence in Spain. Nine women and a child died at the hands of men in the 31 days, making it the worst month since January when seven died at the hands of partners or ex-partners. Those who have died have been named as Piedad, Mónika, María Asunción, Elena, María del Carmen, Rita, Eva, Maruchi, María Josefa and little Cristian. So far this year at least 37 women have been killed in incidents of domestic violence, the highest figure since 2011. What stands out about the July figures is the victims themselves. Often murdered women have previously reported abuse, but in July most had not made any previous complaints. Another recurring pattern is that many of the men who murdered their partner or ex then committed suicide immediately afterwards, or tried to do so.

‘Unique’ Iberian remains ARCHAEOLOGISTS have unearthed the largest structure built by ancient Iberians ever found in Spain. Researchers digging in Castilla-La Mancha’s Cuenca Province said the structure, which features three rooms and
is more than three metres tall, is unlike anything ever found in Spain. The La Cava complex, near Garcinarro, also features a Bronze Age settlement thought to have been built sometime between 2100 and 1500 BCE.
Miguel Angel Valero, Professor of Ancient History at the University of Castilla-La Manca, told Spanish media archaeologists were still investigating the unique find. “We usually just find the remains of stone or adobe walls which now and again stand at around one metre tall,” the professor said. Mar Juzgado, one of the archaeologists working at the site, said: “We don’t know what we are going to find at this site because there is nothing similar to compare it with.” Researchers are yet to determine what the main building was used for. Some theories claim it was a temple while others argue it was used for storage. The La Cava site features the remains of Roman and Visigothic buildings, with archaeologists saying each new culture that moved into the area built on the ruins of their predecessors. The Iberians were a culture living in Spain before the arrival of settlers from Carthage and Greece and before the Roman conquest of the peninsula.

BREXIT BRIEF Health insurance risk BRITISH travellers could be left without health coverage while holidaying in Europe if Britain leaves the EU without a deal in October, a senior opposition Labour figure has said. Shadow Culture Secretary Tom Watson told British media ‘millions’ of families would face more expensive holidays because of the government’s no-deal approach. “Over the school summer holidays, families across the country will have saved and planned for a holiday to spend special, quality time together, but this prime minister’s mishandling of Brexit could make holiday prices rocket,” Watson said. “Boris Johnson’s reckless, senseless approach to Brexit will leave working families worse off. He must urgently rethink and take no deal off the table,” he added. British holidaymakers would no longer be covered by European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) if Britain leaves without a deal and would have to buy travel insurance. The cards cover travellers for health claims ‘medically necessary’ treatment while travelling in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. Figures obtained by Labour showed more than 21,200 claims were made for under 16s under the scheme from January to June this year. It comes as the NHS recently issued advice stating access to EU healthcare is ‘likely to change’ under a no-deal.
BREXIT EXTRA
Testing times By Joe Gerrard BRITAIN’S new prime minister’s plan to achieve Brexit by October 31 with or without a deal is set to face its first test with new talks in Brussels. The European Commission is due to hold talks with Boris Johnson to find a way forward on Brexit. A spokesperson for the Commission said the meetings aimed to avoid a no-deal which they added would cause significant economic disruption. Johnson’s pledge to broker a better deal than predecessor Theresa May faced an immediate stumbling block. Commission spokesperson Mina Andreeva said the bloc would not reopen the draft Withdrawal Agreement negotiated last year. She added the EU could revisit the political declaration, the document which sketches out what a future relationship between Britain and the bloc would look like. Johnson could achieve concessions on the latter but his pledge to scrap the Northern Ireland backstop is not feasible without Withdrawal Agree-

ment changes. Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay called on the EU to look at the deal again because parliament would not accept it in its current form. May repeatedly failed to pass it and that ultimately proved to be her downfall. If Johnson cannot secure changes then he currently plans to push for a no-deal, a path which is equally fraught with obstacles. Health Secretary Matt Hancock
fired a warning shot to Remain-supporting MPs saying they had run out of time to block a no-deal in Parliament. But Hancock’s opposition counterpart Jonathan Ashworth said there would be opportunities for lawmakers to stop a no-deal. Conservative Remain-supporting MP Dominic Grieve said he would be willing to bring down the government to stop a no-deal. Johnson’s path to Brexit will not be smooth.
SECOND Brexit referendum supporters are planning to urge Remain backers to vote tactically to oust dozens of Brexiteer MPs if a snap general election is held later this year, according to leaked documents from the People’s Vote group.

Barcelona becoming more dangerous
Prisoners’ favourite phones A MOBILE smaller than a cigarette lighter has become the number one phone smuggled into Spanish prisons. The illegal mobile phone market in Spanish prisons has been on the rise for years, but for some time now the ‘minimobiles’ have been the main ones smuggled in. At the moment about 1,500 phones of all types are confiscated in prisons each year, showing that it is common for prisoners to have access to a phone, despite it being prohibited. In 2008 the Ministry of the Interior decided to install frequency inhibitors, so that any illicit phones would not work in any case. But they are now obsolete as they only work against 2G and 3G phones. Minimobiles are so small that they can easily be smuggled into prisons. Two were found hidden in the sole of a shoe for example, while others have been hidden in the rectum and only spotted by x-ray. They are cheap too, costing just €20.

AKITA INU: Classified as a dangerous dog.
Dog knifed to death A DOG has been knifed to death after it attacked and seriously injured a woman and slightly hurt two men in the family home. The Akita Inu attacked the family in the town of Mataro (Barcelona). The animal was owned by one of the adult children and for unknown reasons, shortly after midnight on Tuesday, attacked the mother, aged about 60, the husband, aged 65, and one of the children, aged 25. Faced with the violence of the attack, a second son took a knife and stabbed the dog several times.
The woman was rushed to Trias i Pujol hospital with very severe wounds, while the two injured men were slightly hurt. The Akita Inu is a dog that comes from Japan and has its origins in the Japanese warriors, who used it for defence and attack, and to hunt bears. In Spain it is catalogued as a dangerous breed. Currently, the law considers potentially dangerous the following breeds and their crosses: Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Rottweiler, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Tosa Inu and Akita Inu.
FIVE people were reportedly murdered in Barcelona throughout July. The latest killing of a young man took place in the port area of the city. Perhaps just as alarming as the murders themselves are the figures that have been released - these murders in July make up 25 per cent of all murders that have been committed so far in Barcelona this year. With a crime rate of 120 per thousand residents, people have taken to Twitter to highlight any crimes such as violence or pickpockets to warn each other, although the police fear that this may lead to people taking the law into their own hands. People are encouraged to report crimes to the police for them to handle and to remain vigilant and safe and to remain calm and not incite panic.

GUN: Police found revolver in backpack.
Held up at gunpoint IN a terrifying experience a man walking through the streets of a sleepy Spanish town had a gun pointed straight between his eyes as he was robbed of €300. The incident happened in the rural town of Ventas de Zafarraya on July 29. The victim reported to Guardia Civil that he was approached by an individual who without a word took out a gun that was hidden in his waistband and pointed it at the victim’s fore-
head while demanding cash. Fearing that he might shoot, the victim gave the robber his wallet. The assailant then ran off. The Judicial Police team of the Guardia Civil of Loja identified a suspect from the description given. When they traced the suspect, they found a revolver in his backpack. The gun was ready to fire with five rounds of ammunition, two of which had already been detonated.
LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics.
As of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘opt-out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of potential donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures - ONT). According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home. It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation. Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years. Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas transplants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent). According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day. In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid-2020 goal. In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs increased to 74, from 48 a year earlier. Lung and heart are viable for four to six hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and ligaments can also be donated. A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Putting off having children SPAIN is the European Union country where women delay motherhood for the longest. According to statistics published by Eurostat, 8.8 per cent of Spanish women have their first child after the age of 40. This puts the country top of the European list, with the most first-time mothers over the age of 40, taking over from Italian women, who are now in second position. Spain is also among the countries in the Union with the highest percentage of births amongst mothers aged 50 and over. Top is Italy, with 306 births, then the United Kingdom with 157 then Spain, with 130 births to mothers of that age. Of the 194,465 births in Spain in 2017, a total of 117,198 were to mothers aged between 30 and 39. According to data from the Instituto Nacional de Estadísitca (NIE), by 2018 the average age for first time mothers in Spain had risen to 32.2 years. In addition, the fertility rate in Spain is also among the lowest: 1.25 children per woman.

Vending for religious items A PUBLIC parking lot in Jaen has become the unlikely site of the very first vending machine to sell religious artefacts in Spain. The novel idea was the brainchild of entrepreneur Rafael Calzado who spotted a gap in the vending machine market. He says he got the idea after taking over his family’s haberdashery business in Andújar (Jaén). Since 1965 the El Danubio haberdashery has been producing images and artefacts of the Virgin de la Cabeza, and he saw a vending machine as the perfect opportunity to create a 24-hour point of sale. From the vending machine you can purchase images of
saints’ bracelets with the medal of the Virgin of the Head or even a flash drive with photos of the Virgin of the Head. Items start from €3 to €21.50 and you can also buy gourmet products such as different extra virgin olive oils, jams and caviar. Business has been steady for the vending machine however Rafael remains optimistic. “So far business is good, it will be necessary however to wait at least one year to see how it works and if expectations are really met. What is clear is that for now the word of mouth is working and the machine has already become a unique attraction for parking.” The machine is located in the public parking area next to the City Council building.

THE latest Sony Playstation is still at least a year from its official release, however one Swedish website has listed the gaming console for pre-orders. Details are still thin on the ground about the new high tech gaming platform, with Sony remaining tight lipped about the release date, price tag and the majority of its specifications. Even its name hasn’t been confirmed yet but it is widely thought to be simply called the ‘PS5.’ However Media Markt Sweden has listed the console on its website for the staggering price tag of 9,999 Swedish Krona (€935.50). This is significantly higher than the previous PS4 which retailed at €450. It also claims to have obtained specs for the console, stating: ‘PlayStation 5 is rumoured to have third-generation AMD Ryzen processor and SSD storage. It is said to be backwards compatible with PS4 games. Pre-book today and secure PlayStation 5 upon release.’ Whilst the Swedish website also states that everything written on its listing isn’t confirmed, Wall Street sources have said the new PS5 could be at a much higher price tag due to higher tariffs being placed on China from the US. Rumoured release date for the PS5 is said to be mid to late 2020.

Steampunk is a type of science fiction inspired by the art and aesthetics of the 19th century and Industrial Revolution. Galan said that from project to project, the Alezeia Theatre which is putting on the play has gone from being an amateur company to a

professional one while acquiring a high level of critical prestige. “The theatre could not fail to have an important space in the Culture in the Street programme due to Benalmadena’s great love of performing arts,” the culture spokesperson said. Aulularia follows the miserable miser Euclion who carries a pot of gold around with him which he refuses to tell people about. His daughter Fedria finds herself caught between the young Liconides who has wooed her and the old but wealthy Megadoro who wants to marry her. Euclion becomes suspicious of Megadoro and hatches a plan involving Liconides and his pot of gold. Aulularia is being staged for free in La Paloma park. It begins at 10pm.
Youth meeting A COUNCILLOR has met young people from Benalmadena to discuss how to get other youths more involved in town life. Benalmadena Council youth spokesperson Maria Isabel Ruiz met with Dario Algeciras, Vanessa Dominguez and Andres Diaz on Tuesday. Ruiz said the council planned to help raise awareness of the Association of Youth Correspondents of which they are members. “We wanted to know their current situation as well as the activities and initiatives they want to put on,” the councillor said. The meeting took place at the Innova building which provides young people with a space to meet and work on art and other projects. “We want to continue promoting the Innova building as a preferred meeting place for young people from Benalmadena and nearby towns,” Ruiz said. The councillor added the local authority would continue monitoring developments with both the building and the Association of Youth Correspondents.
Pet beaches A NEW dog friendly beach has opened in Benalmadena along with others on the Costa del Sol. Benalmadena Council has designated about 600 metres of the Tajo de la Soga beach next to the Holiday World Hotel as pet-friendly. It is one of the last virgin beaches on the Costa del Sol and features a modern shower space, according to the council. It comes as another dogfriendly beach was also opened in Fuengirola next to Sohail Castle.

Fuengirola NEWS INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK: The monument pays homage to Fuengirola’s foreign residents.
Going global A GLOBE with the flags of all the home countries of people living in Fuengirola has been installed in the town. The Source of Nations sculpture, which bears 132 flags, is now on the promenade of Los Boliches near to the Arroyo Pajares. It has been fitted at a cost of more than €44,650, part of which was provided by the Costa del Sol Commonwealth of Municipalities according to Fuengirola Council. Council Foreign Residents spokesperson Rodrigo Romero said the town was an example of people being able to living together in harmony regardless of where they are from. “People come not only to establish a second home or to spend the rest of their lives, but there are also many who settle here for work or cultural rea-
sons because we are an open and cosmopolitan town,” Romero said. “With this gesture we want to thank everyone who has chosen our town to live and we want to make them feel at home,” the councillor added. All the flags on the monument represent countries with at least one resident in the town. It features the flags of Britain, Germany and France as well as those of Venezuela, China, Lebanon, Russia, Peru and several others. Council Public Works spokesperson Jose Sanchez said the new decorative foundation highlighted co-operation between the local authority and the Commonwealth of Municipalities. Around a third of all Fuengirola residents come from overseas, according to council figures.
War on mosquitoes LOCALS in Fuengirola have been asked to help the council tackle the influx of tiger mosquitoes. Javier Garcia Lara, the council’s health spokesperson, said the only way the insects could be eradicated is if the public take steps against them. “Tiger mosquitoes have a greater presence and proliferate more by rivers and near stagnant water while their larvae and eggs hatch at high temperatures, so they are
more common in summer,” Garcia Lara said. The councillor said the council would be distributing information on how to stop the spread of the insects. It includes getting rid of stagnant water from patios and terraces, and making sure outdoor water containers are inspected. Anyone who wishes to report spikes in mosquito numbers can do so by calling: 952 589 300 or emailing: sanidad@fuengirola.org.
‘Successful’ night FUENGIROLA Council’s festivities spokesperson has said Saturday’s Noche Viva fiesta was a ‘success’ after more than 200 local businesses took part. Isabel Moreno said the event saw shops, bars and restaurants decorate the streets, creating a welcoming environment for locals and visitors. “Evidence of massive public participation comes from the fact that from the first hour of the event car parks across the town were full, as were public transport services,” Moreno said. The council also wanted to thank local artists for collaborating and staging concerts and shows for the public for free, Moreno added.

More cash to pay staff AN extra €5.1 million has been added to Mijas Council’s budget, with nearly half of it earmarked for staff pay rises and social security payments. The budget amendment sees €2.3 million set aside for the salary increase, which has been approved by Royal Decree. The mayor, Josele Gonzalez, explained that the amendment is vital to the functioning of the town hall until the end of the year. It also allows economic aid for social programmes and less well-off people and includes a supplement to improve the energy efficiency of municipal facilities, the buying of computer equipment and maintenance of public buildings and infrastructure.

La Cala - Mijas NEWS MIJAS Council is looking at the possibility of installing security cameras throughout the town as a crime prevention measure. Mayor, José Antonio González, put forward the plans at the first Local Security Board meeting to be held in two years. He said it would help to identify suspicious vehicles and deter crime and would bring the town into line with other municipalities of similar sizes. He said: “We talk about the lack of police resources and
that we have a municipality of 149 square kilometres with areas where it is also very easy to hide and that is why it is important that in some way we make the most of our resources. “I believe that this system can be a plus for security.” During the meeting, which was also attended by the subdelegate of the government in Malaga, Maria Gamez, as well as the head of the Local Police and the Lieutenant of the Guardia Civil, it was also stated that more Local Police and firefighters should be recruited.
Plans for centre progress MAYOR of Mijas, Josele González, toge the r w ith c ounc illor La ura Moreno, visited the Centre for Families of Alzheimer’s Disease of Mijas Pueblo (AFAM), to present new furniture.

Love all A F T E R w i n n i n g Wi m bledon, Novak Djokovic decided to take some t i m e o ff f r o m p l a y i n g i n order to enjoy a few days of relaxation with wife Jelena and their two children Stefan and Tara. They spent part of their time swimming and just floating in the crystal clear waters of Croatia before returning to Marbella to visit brother Marko for a few days in the Spanish sun. Certainly there had been some snide comments in the press about the couple’s relationship as Jelena had not been present at all of his matches at the Centre Court, but the photos of them on holiday have shown that they are still very close. The Serbian tennis star will soon be back practising as the US Open starts on August 26.

Electric vehicles AS predicted in EWN edition 1773, the Marbella Council has made a decision concerning the use of what it refers to as personal mobility vehicles (VMP) on the city’s streets. Electric scooters, bikes and Segways will only be allowed on bike lanes and cycle paths and their speed may not exceed 10 kilometres per hour. This means that they may no longer travel on pavements and in July, August and September, certain areas of the Paseo Maritimo are meant for pedestrians only, so these VMPs and al-
so bicycles, skates and skateboards will be banned from parts of the Paseo and they can only be used in the cycle lanes. Children’s electric cars which do not exceed six kilometres per hour may still drive on pavements. Whilst these rules are being introduced with immediate effect, there will be a period of public discussion after September to review how successful the new bylaw has been and to see whether any amendments need to be made. Local Police will be involved in enforcing these new regulations.

Bus rage THERE has been a great deal of discussion in Marbella about the local buses and their safety or lack thereof which has prompted a demand from the Union involved and both Ciudadanos and PSOE for greater security for drivers. It would appear that in the last month there have been three assaults on drivers and therefore it has been suggested that not only should cameras be installed on every bus but the actual status of the drivers should be upgraded so that any assault would carry a greater punishment. One of the reasons given for the unexpected rise in assaults has been that the number of buses and their frequency is too low and those waiting to trav-
el become angry in the excessive heat which then leads to furious exchanges between passengers and drivers. It is further suggested that all buses should display posters warning passengers about the need for them to act in a proper manner and also to highlight the punishment if they don’t. It was noted also that numbers of travellers have doubled in the past months, not only because of the influx of tourists, but because some 55,000 residents in Marbella now have the right to travel free and some of the terse exchanges may be because passengers who can travel free don’t understand how to use their travel cards. Although the council does not necessarily accept that there is a serious

Marbella A first THE first taxi in Malaga Province to carry a defibrillator has joined the fleet that serves Marbella and the surrounding area. It’s a project promoted by José Gómez, president of the Taxisol Association who has been involved in the raising of funds to purchase the equipment and train drivers in how to use it, so that they may be called to assist in the event of any public emergency. The initiative is strongly supported by the Local Police and Marbella Council and according to Gomez he wanted to “prove that a taxi is more than just a form of transport as it has always been a public service which I wanted to make clear.” Taxis operate on a 24-hour basis and therefore could be of immense assistance to the public in the event of any emergency and it is hoped that other owners and drivers will volunteer to carry defibrillators as well.

DO you drink enough water? The answer to this question is NO for 90 per cent of us. Water is one of the most important elements for us. Our bodies on average contain 75 per cent water and every process needs water. The water dissolves the food in our stomach and transports all the nutrients. It also removes toxins from processed foods. It is contained in every cell of our bodies, even in our bones. How many litres of water should we drink? My formula is 0.5 litre per 10 kg body weight. That means for 80kg men, four litres per day and that is the minimum, if you sweat a lot you have to drink more. If you drink less your body is dehydrated and every function is more difficult.

moment that is not good to drink water is with your food. It is best to drink water 30 mins before eating and one to two hours after. What water to drink? For the last 10 years it has been modern to drink distilled or filtered water, which is not a bad option, and a better option than from plastic bottles. I believe the best water to drink is fresh natural spring water from the mountain. A Japanese scientist has proven through research that water is alive and responds to our emotions.

LAST YEAR: Devils in the Sky wowed the audience.
Marbepop 2019 FOLLOWING last year’s successful event, the Marbepop Festival 2019 will return to the Arroyo de la Represa Park on September 28. Aimed at the whole family, it will very much follow last year’s programme with a dozen bands (still to be announced) playing from 1pm until late with many coming from the local area. Also involved will be a number of educational workshops for youngsters, urban art, circus acts and magic alongside a number of great food trucks offering a range of food and drinks. The emphasis will once again be on looking after the environment and admission to the event will be free.
SPANISH reality TV stars turned presenters Kiko Jiménez and Sofía Suescun were stopped by police in Marbella at around midnight last Saturday and he was arrested spending a night in jail. In a TV interview, girlfriend Sofía appeared very upset and suggested that the officers involved had overstepped the mark in arresting him, let alone detaining him in custody. According to her, they were in a car after having dinner with a friend and that there was a traffic jam at a roundabout. The driver tried to park the car in a nearby area, believing that an officer had waived him on, but the officer than stopped them and there was a discussion in which Kiko decided to get involved as he believed that the threat of a €200 fine and four points on the driver’s licence was excessive. It was then that they were removed from the car and breathalysed with a negative result, but there was a continued heated exchange which resulted in the arrest of Kiko for alleged disrespect to the officer. Sofía allegedly refused to show her identification suggesting that the officer should recognise her from TV and Kiko was filming the events on his phone but was told to dump the video.
STOPPED BY POLICE: Kiko and Sofía in happier times. Other reports suggest that he was being argumentative, gesticulating and blowing smoke into an officer’s face which was the reason for the arrest.
He appeared in court on Monday and was released without any decision being made, but if found guilty he could receive a fine of up to €1,200.

Calviño out of IMF head race SPAIN’S economy minister is no longer running to lead the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after the government agreed to withdraw her candidacy to achieve a European consensus on the appointment. Government sources said Nadia Calviño would no longer seek to lead the IMF, a key pillar in the global financial system. “The government is committed to achieving a European agreement so Economy Minister Nadia Calviño will not go through to the next selection phase,” the sources said. “We will continue to work to put Spanish officials forward for the governance of international organisations and we consider it an honour that any member of the government is considered,” they added. Calviño’s departure from the race comes as European leaders remained at loggerheads over who would succeed current IMF director Christine Lagarde last week. She said a full consensus was yet to be reached as she prepares to step down.
Jobless higher than 18 states THERE are more people out of work in Spain than in 18 other EU member states combined, according to the bloc’s latest unemployment figures. The latest figures from the Eurostat data agency showed there were more than 3.2 million people out of work in Spain as of June. A total of 18 other countries have almost three million people out of work between them, still below the amount in Spain. Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Croatia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Austria, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden’s combined rate of unemployment was still lower than Spain’s. Those countries have a combined population of around 120 million compared to Spain’s 47 million, showing the proportion of people out of work was also higher. The Spanish proportion of unemployed was higher than two of the EU’s largest economies, France and Germany. France, which has a population of 67 million, had 2.5 million out of work in June, while Germany with 83 million people had 1.3 million unemployed.

Bankruptcy rate decline CHEAPER: ADIF hopes train companies will pass on savings to customers.
Rail changes on track THE body which manages Spain’s railway infrastructure has paved the way for the country’s publicy-owned train company to cut prices ahead of the market’s opening to competition. ADIF has changed the system used to calculate what it charges to Renfe in fees and taxes, as well as those of the company’s future competitors. The Spanish rail market is due to be opened to competition from December 2020 under EU rules. ADIF president Isabel Pardo unveiled the changes as part of the body’s strategy for the period from 2020 to 2025, the first five years of
rail market liberalisation. Operators will be offered discounts on fees if they increase the number of trains on Spanish tracks to reward them for increasing services, the plans state. Aena, the body which manages Spanish airports, uses a similar system for charging airlines. Pardo said ADIF was offering the discounts on the understanding savings would be passed on to customers through ticket price cuts. The president added ADIF would consider allowing Renfe to run night trains under its AVE high speed service to better compete with rivals.
They would be allowed to run at night provided they did not interfere with track maintenance, Pardo said. Both plans are subject to changes to Spain’s Railway Law which are pending the investiture of a new government following the indecisive result of April’s snap general election. France’s publicly-owned SNCF, ILSA, Globalia and Britain’s Virgin have all said they are interested in entering the Spanish rail market after it is opened to competition. ADIF is set to chose the first companies which will be allowed to operate in Spain this December.
GDP growth slows THE Spanish economy grew by 0.5 per cent in the second quarter of this year, down from the first quarter rate of 0.7 per cent according to new figures. Figures from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) showed gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 2.3 per cent between the second quarters of 2018 and this year. The rate was down from the first quarter year-on-year rate of 2.4 per cent. The INE said in a statement national demand had fallen during the second quarter, but external demand grew at the same time. The growth rates fell just shy of those forecast by the Bank of Spain. The central bank predicted GDP would grow by 0.6 per cent quarteron-quarter and by 2.4 per cent yearon-year. The General Council of Economist’s Financial Observatory said the slowdown was caused in part by a fall in domestic demand. Data showed household consumption increased by 1.7 per cent from the second quarter of 2018 to that of this year. The rate of growth was 0.2 percentage points higher than the first quarter’s year-on-year rate.
THE amount of families and businesses which declared bankruptcy fell by 4.6 per cent and 13.6 per cent respectively from the second quarter of 2018 to April to June this year, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE).
New store SWEDISH fashion chain H&M has opened a new store in the Alicante Province town of Alcoy’s Alzamora shopping centre after making net profits of almost €510 million in the first half of this year.
Sea delivery FOOD delivery company Deliveroo has unveiled plans to launch a service to serve boats off the coast of 17 Spanish cities this summer, similar to services launched in Britain in 2017 and for riverboats in Paris in 2018.
Costs to fall THE National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) has approved a 33 per cent cut in tariffs for fixed network phone calls, a reduction from more than 0.08 cents a minute to around 0.064.
‘Tough’ month SPANISH manufacturing contracted last month, according to the purchasing managers index (PMI) which registered 48.2 points which IHS Markit economist Paul Smith said was another ‘difficult’ month for industry. SLOWDOWN: Spain’s economic output grew at a slower rate during the second quarter of this year. Government administrative spending grew year-on-year by 1.9 per cent, 0.1 points less than in the first quarter. Investment grew by 1.2 per cent year-on-year compared to the 4.7 per cent rise from the first quarter of 2018 to this year. Investment in capital goods shrank by 1.4 per cent year-on-year in the
second quarter after growing by 7.2 per cent from the first quarter of 2018 to 2019. The latter indicator is seen as a litmus test of business confidence in future economic activity. Construction grew by 5.8 per cent year-on-year, 0.8 percentage points less than the equivalent rate for the first quarter.
Plant sale ALUMINIUM maker Alcoa has sold factories in Asturias and Galicia to the Swiss for Parter Capital for about €115 million after nine months of talks between the firms and stakeholders including government officials and trade unions.

The great, now sadly lamented, Joe Longthorne MBE LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT THIS week saw the passing of probably one of the finest variety entertainers the UK has ever produced. So mystified was I at the extraordinary initial lack of main media coverage, I decided to dedicate this week’s offering to his memory. I’m talking of the great, now sadly lamented, Joe Longthorne MBE. Joe was world class. Unfortunately, over the years, those who managed his career and well-being were not. Consequently, even after appearances in Las Vegas and success on TV, this multi-talented vocal impressionist, never maintained the world accolades he so richly deserved. Nevertheless, his UK theatre tours, club dates and charity functions were always sold out and he never failed his thousands of adoring fans. Throughout his long battle with cancer, Joe continued to follow the profession he loved, and only recently pulled out of his latest tour when the dis-
JOE LONGTHORNE: A truly unique international artist of the first order.
ease simply became too overwhelming. Although I hadn’t seen Joe for some years, I have followed him closely on social media and have often related the circumstances surrounding my first meeting with this highly amusing and lovable entertainer. It was back in the late 70’s. I had been engaging in an ultimately disastrous business enterprise to bring live entertainment to the expats working in Saudi Arabia. We had brought in a few shows and decided in the light of somewhat limited success, to ‘up the ante’ and import a rather more upmarket group of acts. Joe, then relatively unknown, was one of the artists we selected. On the bill we also engaged a band, which comprised of five young musicians who worked under the name of ‘Coaster’ - a title which by sheer coincidence happened to be the name of the model of local buses in Jeddah at the time. The cast duly arrived and after a couple of days, decided they wanted to visit the local Souk. Now Jeddah, in those days, was not exactly conducive to tourism and ‘Westerners’ were looked on with no small amount of apprehension and suspicion. Instructing the boys to be as inconspicuous as
possible, I told our Yemeni chauffer to drive them to the local market. They promised to be back for tea - they weren’t! A nail biting hour or so later, the door flew open and the driver rushed in. In a complete panic he told me the band had been arrested! Apparently the boys, including Joe, had seen what they thought was a dumping ground for crashed cars and buses and had been trying to prise off one of the chrome ‘Coaster’ emblems as a keepsake. In fact the site was actually the local police pound! I hurried down, my thoughts a turmoil of possible deportations, lashings and Lord knows what. I needn’t have bothered. As I approached the circle of police surrounding the group, I realised they were all laughing! There in the centre was Joe. Notwithstanding a total language barrier, he had the whole bunch of them in peals of laughter. They actually escorted us all home. That was Joe Longthorne, a truly unique international artist of the very first order. RIP Joe. Far more deserving of a knighthood than others I could mention!

A BIT of a rant this week (so what’s new, I hear you say!). First off, news that struggling British high streets experienced their worst month in 24 years in May as sales fell at the highest rate on record potentially leading to further closures. Followed by reports that more than 200 Boots stores across the UK could be closed by their American owners in a bid to cut costs, Boots join the list of a string of well-known names suffering in the tough high street environment. Last year, Poundworld, Toys R Us and Maplin all went bust and disappeared altogether. Other household names - Homebase, Mothercare, Carpetright and New Look - were forced into restructuring deals with their landlords, closing hundreds of stores. Changing consumer behaviour as shoppers spend more on experiences and increasing concerns about the economic outlook post-Brexit are continuing to wreak havoc on the industry. Yet if British high streets are being left empty, then Primark, which notched up 50 years in business in June, seems indestructible. Sales increased by 4 per cent in the six months to March, while established brands (such as Debenhams and LK Bennett) were going belly up and, under pressure from online shopping

HELP! UK high streets left running on empty
LOW POINT: May was the worst month in 24 years. and popular fast-fashion brands, the fate of Sir Philip Green’s Topshop empire was left hanging by a thread (see what I did there?). And it’s even more surprising that the UK’s biggest fashion retailer by volume (though not by value) has succeeded without moving into online shopping. Basically, Primark’s message is: if you want it, you have to get off your **** and go buy it. And clearly mega-crowds do. Its brand-new Birmingham mega-store is almost a tourist destination, day-trippers magnetised by its in-store blow-dry bar, beauty salon and Disney-themed cafe. Primark proves that brands can’t just stay still. Companies have to keep reinventing
themselves with fresh products - trading on past glories no longer cuts it. Nonetheless, it’s sad that with fewer Boots around soon there’ll be nothing much left on the high street bar betting shops and Oxfam...

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Can they pay him less? I am 71 years old, retired, and I receive a state pension from the UK. At the last municipal elections I was elected councillor. I was told that I am not entitled to the retribution of €16,000 per year which the other part-time councillors receive, because this salary is incompatible with my pension. Instead, I am offered a payment of €700 a month for attending the monthly ‘Information Commission’ meetings and €300 a month for attending the council meetings. If I don’t attend, I don’t get paid. I do not receive any expenses or benefits. This sounds wrong to me. Can you please tell me if the decision taken by the town hall is correct? S B (Costa Blanca) In principle, yes, it is correct. Spanish YOU AND THE law states that a LAW IN SPAIN pensioner can earn up to the amount of the legal minimum wage without affecting the amount of his pension. After a big jump last year the legal minimum wage for 2019 is almost €10,000. The councillor’s salary of €16,000 is well above this. Because the Spanish tax man cannot reduce your UK pension, it seems they have found a way around this.

Ain’t what it used to be CASSANDRA NASH A WEEKLY LOOK - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
THE Left can’t get it together and it’s not all that easy for the Right, especially Albert Rivera. He doesn’t want to be seen cosying up to the ultra-Right, but is too ambitious to renounce the power brought by the three-way Partido Popular Ciudadanos and Vox arrangement. Inside his party, Rivera occupies a political no-man’s-land where he calls the shots in splendid and increasingly autocratic isolation. Ciudadanos founder Francesc de Carreras has left the party, likewise C’ Economy spokesman Toni Roldan. De Carreras lamented that the party is no longer what it set out to be, and Roldan said that Albert Rivera puts his own interests before those of the party and Spain. In an informal online poll in the Catalan daily La Vanguardia 84.65 per cent of participants believed that
Rivera would eventually pay - in votes - for his dalliance and ill-disguised alliance with Vox. And a probable November general election will show whether Rivera paid a bargain price for his Vox-enabled elevation or was sold a pup.
Hitting the big time IF Podemos and the party supremo Pablo Iglesias were destined
to hit the big time, it would have happened by now. Iglesias presumably believed that erupting onto the political scene in the European elections of 2014 by taking five seats had set the pattern for Podemos’ national trajectory. Support amongst the undecided and politically-uncommitted has drifted away with each national, regional and local election, but
Loser takes all THE latest Centro de Investigacion Sociologica (CIS) poll put Pedro Sanchez and the PSOE on 41.3 per cent of the vote. The Partido Popular took second place with 13.7 per cent and Unidas Podemos’s measly 13.1 per cent overtook Ciudadanos’ measlier 12.3 per cent. Vox slid downhill to 4 per cent. Ironically Sanchez’s investiture has defeat hurt him less than his rivals, especially Albert Rivera whose anti-Sanchez veto has done him more harm than good. Anti-Sanchez.
How hard can it be? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man What a bunch of aerosols! It drives me nuts. I shake the container and hear plenty of swishing so I assume there is plenty in there, which there is. But after pressing the button nothing, except a little puff of air, comes out. I shake it again, I tilt the container – nothing. How hard can it be to make a product that actually works? This is not an unusual occurrence in the Senker household. There’s the sun creams all packed ready to go to the beach. We get there, find our pitch, move the beds this way and that whilst trying not to remove a layer of skin from my feet whilst walking round the bed. The ice box is in position under the shade. I sit down; get the sun cream - a spray bottle of course for a more even application. I shake the bottle as per instructions, point the nozzle at my legs, and pump three times ... nothing, zilch, nada. I check that I’ve twisted the thingy on the nozzle into the on position.
Yeah, everything is in the correct place. Now I’m staring at it, talking to it, trying to unscrew the - what I now find out is a top that doesn’t unscrew. I’ve paid about €20 for this stuff. I’m on the beach. I can’t take it back because it came from the UK with my daughter. So here are the choices. Go and buy another which I’m not doing. Or I force the top off and try and apply it that way. Of course I go for the brute force and ignorant approach as there is no way I’m buying another one. I finally manage to remove the top and as it comes off the bottle semi explodes showering me with more sun cream than would be needed to protect the two rows of sunbeds in front of me. I can tell my family is really concerned for me by the level of screeching laughter I can hear. Oh well, it can’t get any worse can it? Well not until we get home and Mrs S asks me to help her make a tuna and sweetcorn salad. Good idea - pass me the tuna please. It’s a ring pull can. I get it in the upright positon and pull, simplicity itself, and there is the ring pull sitting there on my finger instead of the tin. OK, back to the tin opener. Why, oh why does this happen to me? Or maybe to you too?

Iglesias and Podemos nomenclature have not yet received and digested this message. If, as he maintained, Iglesias really did hope for a left-wing progressive government, he would have put his own ambitions to one side and voted in favour of Pedro Sanchez in the investiture debate. The other half of the Unidas Podemos tandem, Izquierda Uni-
da, increasingly favours backing Sanchez, asking for nothing in return. After all, it is more blessed to give than receive and Sanchez would have been - could still be eternally in their debt. Trouble is, Iglesias knew that a role in a putative Sanchez government, even in the shadows, was his only remaining chance of hitting the big time. He blew it and the small time is all he can expect now.
Genderless offence NOT long ago a Vox councillor, observing a minute’s silence after a woman was killed by her partner, stood several metres away from mourning fellow-councillors of all parties. She regretted the death, she said, but insisted that gender played no part in ‘inter-family’ violence. What else to call it when a male kills a female partner? Apart from murder?

MARBELLA MOMENTS
8 - 14 August 2019
Silence is the new ‘no’
BY NICOLE KING ABOUT a year ago it dawned on me that in Marbella a no reply can actually mean ‘no.’ I had sent an email and its corresponding ‘chasers’ but got no reply. A few days later I saw a post by that same person which said if you have to chase things in life, perhaps they’re not meant to be. I’m not sure if this were specific to me but I put two and two together: we no longer have to pretend to be good mannered when it comes to correspondence, we don’t need to reply to things we’re not interested in, we can just ignore them; which obviously sends a message in itself, loud and clear. Having been without a phone for nearly a month I do still think it pertinent to check that our messages have been received but once done (unless with some official government organisation), I do think we can surmise that then, if unanswered, the person in question is so busy with their own

projects and so uninterested in ours that the lack of an answer is the answer: ‘no.’ Now I am as guilty at this as the next person, partly because I get so very much correspondence that I don’t have time to reply to it all if I
want to get any work done or have a life and some people literally send me updates on everything they do. I imagine this is the case for many. We shouldn’t take offence. I’ve had occasion to share this insight with others who have spoken of
how they feel insulted to have not received replies from whomever. I don’t think it’s being rude as such, rather more that we’ve all become immune and incensed to so many messages due to such bombardment of information that hits us from all angles.
Sometimes we just don’t know what to say, so we say nothing. In fact I learnt a wonderful lesson from the headmistress of our children’s primary school also worth sharing. Sometimes, particularly when unhappy about a situation, it’s best to wait a few days before saying something, so that we won’t regret it afterwards. We may still end up saying the same things, but perhaps not in the same way. Knowing when to speak and when to hold one’s tongue is an art, but I’ve also noticed that now so is replying only to partial bits of a message and conveniently ignoring the bits we don’t want to answer, or know how to answer. The lines of communication are changing, firstly because we no longer need to ‘read between them’ as sometimes there are none to be read and a resounding silence also keeps us in the ‘know.’ Hugs and happiness

I READ the news of Spain’s PSOE and Podemos failing to agree to a coalition with despair and I see it as a missed opportunity. I had looked forward to a new government that would serve the interests of workers here in Spain rather than those of big business. As a Brit I have watched as rightwing governments there and in Spain loot and pillage their countries to serve their corporate puppet masters. Taxes for the wealthiest have been slashed while ordinary people have been punished with brutal austerity regimes. PSOE and Podemos had a chance to put an end to this but they failed to take it. Their failure to put aside party politics and unite on a left-wing basis is tragic but it will ultimately be the working class, not they, who pay the price. The two party’s lack of political vision may allow reaction to rear its ugly head. Owen Carlson
Possible backlash DEAR Leapy Lee Totally agree with you on items of your manifesto (Issue 1776). Unfortunately difficult for people that agree with you to be outspoken on these matters as would be called RxxxxT. Good luck. Sue Gell
In support DEAR Leapy It was with great delight we read and re-read your article (What if manifesto, 1776). Our top 10 are as follows 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 16, 18, 23 and in top place should without any doubt be number 9 - regards introduction of two years national service. Keep on with your thinking because we really enjoy your article every week. Best regards, Lynda and Laurence Patterson
Support? No chance I WAS surprised to read a raft of letters backing Leapy Lee’s rightwing daydream ‘manifesto’ so I thought I would restore impartiality by writing in. The article features all the classic hallmarks of the reactionary right which are now being put into practice across the world to ruthless and inhumane degrees. Nationalist tripe including the reintroduction of national service can be dismissed easily. Why any parent would want their teenage children to be taught to kill people in the service of neo-imperialism is beyond me. But what caught my at-
NATIONAL SERVICE: Should it be re-introduced? tention most were points 10 and 12, where the wanna-be führer explicitly advocates that camps be opened for young offenders and ‘illegal’ immigrants. We’ve seen that before and we know how it turned out. But we also see it today, in Leapy’s

proposed form, on the southern US border. If you are saying you support Leapy’s manifesto then you ought to research those centres where children are caged and separated from their families and women are forced to drink from toilets. Ernest Peters

A SCHEME which saw 45 children from Africa’s Western Sahara travel to northern Spain for summer holidays shows what can be achieved with global thinking and international solidarity. The ‘Holidays for Peace’ scheme saw children aged between nine and 12 visit Asturias’ Oviedo. They will not only benefit from cooler climes. Such schemes help both the children and people here in Spain look beyond the narrow confines of nations and see that we are all part of one global community. When people from different backgrounds come together they are able to share ideas, experiences and cultures not only to their benefit, but to the betterment of all. The children can learn that the world offers opportunities for exploration and for making meaningful connections in the most unlikely places with the most unexpected people. Barriers of country, religion, culture and society soon evaporate and what is left is one human being enjoying the company of another. The children will also have much-needed respite from conditions in their home countries that are tough to say the least. Western Sahara was annexed by Morocco in the late 1970s. The UN and NGOs have repeatedly denounced the occupation and its associated human rights abuses. The children now have a respite from the fear and suspicion living under such conditions produces. Everyone needs to have holidays to rest, but we should think ourselves fortunate that we do not have to return to such situations.

Human monkey hybrid No, because if it works the monkeys will be killed and the organs harvested but even then they won't know how long they’ll last in a human body. The Chinese abuse every animal in the world except pandas. Their human rights record runs parallel with Saudi Arabia. Thelma Dance This was attempted 70 years ago in the UK, unfortunately it all went pear shaped, the resulting hybrid was Jeremy Corbyn! The UK government has since that day banned this procedure for fear of more nutcases infesting the UK. Jim Feaviour

TIME OUT
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
Keep up the pace this week so that you have plenty to discuss and 'write home about’. With your mind so active, you are capable of doing in a day what would normally take a week. By-pass those who try to slow you down. There will be plenty of time to be a plod later.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Others may be changing their minds, and generally being a bit of a pain. That may irritate you but it is no reason to change your plans. Both you and your colleagues will be glad that you did in the longer term. You may need to find some peace and space for yourself come the weekend.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Looking back over the past few months you will realise that fine adjustments are needed. Both your working life and diet need attention, so be determined that progress made will continue apace. Certainly, you have no qualms about facing any problems straight on. You thrive on responsibility and there is no shortage of that at the moment.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Now that you are feeling much better, it will be tempting to put aside your healthy eating and exercise, but if you remember what a difference it makes it would be silly to stop now. Enlist the help of a friend or two in keeping the momentum going.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) There are so many things to do or try that you should be spoiled for choice. No, don't settle down in front of the TV. Get out, make some friends and aim to learn something new every day. That may only be the name of your neighbour on the bus but it counts. You are charming and urbane, so don't keep it all to yourself.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) When your feelings are so positive, which they should be now, it is hard to remember that they have ever been any other way. You may have a plan in mind for a new activity to get the adrenalin flowing. How much more enjoyable, though, to find someone to share this with you. Book that course and maybe you will meet them there.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) After a few recent excesses, bad habits can prove hard to shake off. Remember that any time of the year is a good time to make a fresh start. Don't put off looking after your health any more than you would put off stashing a cheque in the bank. Use it or lose it? You know it makes sense. Think about combining health with a holiday.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It happens that energy is sometimes low. Take the chance to read up on why this could be. You may think that you know it all, but in this world there is no chance of that. Maybe you are out of touch generally, or just out of touch with your own needs. Give building your strength priority. How much better you will cope with extra energy.

Women’s wit
‘
If love does not know how to give and take without restrictions, it is not love, but a transaction that never fails to lay stress on a plus and a minus.” Emma Goldman, Activist
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) With so much going on, you are in danger of burning yourself to a frazzle. You won't realise until you have done it, so make a point of getting some peace and quiet, preferably both of them at the same time. Relax and don't even think about things that are unchangeable. Time will sort out most things for you.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Leave nothing to chance when it comes to your health. Although you are feeling good now you will soon have problems because you are more concerned with others than yourself. This can be good but can also be overdone. You know how good you can feel. Increase this by simply not accepting second-best treatment.
EAR-SPLITTING: Spending a lot of time in the New York Subway can cause hearing loss.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Concentrate on your physical needs this week and spend much more time on yourself. There will be plenty of opportunities to look after others when you are feeling 100 per cent yourself. Stay in control of day-to-day plans.
‘
There are some persons in this world who, unable to give better proof of being wise, take a strange delight in showing what they think they have sagaciously read in mankind by uncharitable suspicions of them.” Herman Melville, writer
IF you spent just a few minutes in the New York City Subway you would eventually suffer hearing loss, according to a study. Researchers found the volume in the 86th Street Station was as high as 101.9 decibels, louder than a jet plane taking off or a power lawn mower. Times Square, one of the busiest, registered up to 96 decibels. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines state people should not be exposed to noises louder than 90 decibels during an eight-hour working day.
UK NATIONAL LOTTERY
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Your tendency to see yourself through the eyes of others can lead you to undervalue your worth. This could see you going pear-shaped, emotionally. Try not to believe everything that you are told because there are always at least two ways of seeing things. Be positive. You are capable of so much. Take care of your needs on a daily basis.

She begins to show him a secret passage across the marshland but does not know she is leading him into impending disaster. The man and woman begin to traverse the landscape during a time where women such as Alinor are feared for their arcane knowledge of herbs.

JORIS PLU TAKING the leap of faith - what does it mean? For instance, the path you have been walking on until now in your life no longer suits you. Taking the leap of faith means you are willing to go forward, taking the next step in your new positive and wonderful chapter of your life. That is why so many photos about the leap of faith are about jumping. Sometimes or may I say most of the time jumping means not really knowing where you will be landing. And that is called trust. A very, very powerful word. Trust. Trusting that the next step you are going to take will be ok will be the step you need. How many times do you see other people doing this and saying to yourself ‘Wow, I wish I had the nerve to do it. But it all looks so scary, so uncontrollable.’ And most people do not take that

Leap of faith jump, that leap of faith. Staying in a place where they do not belong any more. And it gives them pain. Pain which is in that moment more ok than the belief, the trust that the next step will be even better for them. Who are we to decide that another person needs to change, needs to take that leap. If at that certain moment a human being needs to stay on the rather safer site than that which is ok. We all have our reasons, our fears, our time to take the leap. Or not take it at all. Sometimes it takes a long time before we jump. That is ok too. There is totally nothing wrong with being happy with where you are in life. But if you keep on hearing
that nagging voice in your head that you have to jump… then just jump. If we listen to our body, heart and soul. Really listen.
We know very well what is good for us or not. Most of the time we do not trust enough that feeling. Fear and trust. Two powerful words. Taking the leap is about trusting, even though you do not see the net to catch you, knowledge that you will land safely. Think for a moment about all
GO FOR IT: Take the leap of faith.
those people who took the leap, who jumped. If you ask them, most of them, if not all, will tell you that they have should done this much earlier in life. That the jump was totally fine. That they are so happy with their next step in life. Once we master our jumps in life we will be much happier since we are listening to our inner voice, our soul, what it really wants. From that moment on we will love to jump. We now know how it feels. And it feels good. So practice your jump. One step at a time. And if you need help for your first jump, ask for help. You will receive it. Once someone said… When you are at that point in your life that you are scared to jump… then that is the moment to jump. Otherwise you end up staying in the same place for the rest of your life. Enjoy the leap of faith in your life, enjoy the jump.

IT’S summer! And for many of us that means we’re on the move, planes, trains and automobiles either homeward bound or off on holiday! Travel isn’t an easy thing if you are already uncomfortable or injured. So here are my tips to reduce the need to see someone of my profession on arrival. Airports Miles of walking, often pulling and lifting heavy luggage, juggling trollies and children and buggies... the endless standing in queues. Just getting to the plane can be a challenge! If you’ve already got a bad knee, ankle, foot or arm, getting banged by someone’s suitcase won’t help. 1. Wear a bandage or a sling or take a crutch - even if you

don’t need it all the time at home. This acts as a warning sign to everyone else - give me space. 2. Ask for help - you don’t get extra points for being a martyr, so if you don’t think your knee will cope with the miles of walking, phone ahead and ask for help! On the plane The air pressure in planes changes the internal pressure on our soft tissues. We all notice our ears get blocked, but something similar happens to your joints. Anything that is a little bit swollen or irritated before you get on the plane can become much more swollen during the flight. And short European flights often have a more dramatic effect - long haul you have time to acclimate. • Choose your seat - if movement helps, an aisle seat for stretching can be good. But if you

Getting a good night’s sleep A REFRESHING night’s sleep is essential to our health and indeed our beauty regimes (tired bags under the eyes just are not sexy) and although each individual’s actual requirements can be different, it is normally recommended to get between seven and nine hours sleep per night. There are ways to get a good night’s kip. Try to get into a routine with the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends. Your body will then adopt this pattern and you will be ready for sleep at the right time. A relaxing, routine before bedtime will enable you to wind down ready to go to bed.
Daily exercise can help you to be tired when it’s time to go to sleep. Your bedroom should be free from any noise or light that could disturb your sleep. Check your room for noises or other distractions. This includes a bed partner’s sleep disruptions such as snoring. Consider using blackout curtains, eyeshades and earplugs. Make sure your mattress is comfortable and supportive. You will feel more refreshed and this will reduce aches and strains in the morning. Avoid bright light in the evening and expose yourself to sunlight in the morning. This
will keep your circadian rhythms in check. Alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine can disrupt sleep as can eating big or spicy meals which can cause discomfort from indigestion that can make it hard to sleep. Switch off your mobile phone, television and computer well before bedtime, they invariably stimulate the brain, making it harder to get to sleep. If you can’t sleep, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel tired. If you’re still having trouble sleeping, don’t hesitate to speak with your doctor or find a sleep professional.

Simply Scandinavian - fresh, pure and tasty SCANDINAVIA is the most northern part of Europe and under the northern lights Nordic cuisine creates and inspires the joy of food, taste and variety but there’s also a strong focus on health and a philosophy of ethical production. Simply Scandinavian is a new exciting restaurant located in Los Boliches, Fuengirola and it is what the name says, a restaurant which offers fresh, pure and tasty food cooked using Scandinavian methods by Scandinavian chefs. They only use the best ingredients favouring local producers wherever possible, but of course some ingredients come directly from Scandinavia, especially reindeer according to Chef Mika Väätäinen. On the menu you’ll find fish prepared in many ways as Scandinavian specialities are often based on fish, because water is everywhere up in the north and the resulting catches are excellent. If you don’t live on the coast then there are literally thousands of lakes and ponds full of fresh fish.
potato mash and lingonberries. Reindeer is also served as a sirloin steak 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 so vegetarians are not forgotten. Berries and root vegetables are often used to top up the meal. Gluten or lactose-free dishes can easily be prepared for guests. There are a few basic rules in chef Väätäinen’s kitchen. Food with additives (ecodes) are not used For example herring in cranand the microwave berry sauce is something that oven does not exist. you don’t find anywhere else.

wine and the fresh and pure food is particularly well served when paired with a good wine. 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 the emphasis on local Andalucian wines. This was an interesting job as to find the right wines for Scandinavian gourmets is not easy, but it is 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 restaurant is open every night except Mondays from 7pm and stays open until midnight. You will find more information as well as the latest news and offers at Facebook/simplyscandinavianrestau rant.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks a special tasting menu for the children!
Only The Best! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com
THE first book that I ever wrote w as ca l l e d On l y T h e B es t p u b lished by Little Brown in 1993. It was a book about cooking for children because at that time my daughter Serena was about three and Stefanie was about one and I struggled to make food every day that th e y wo u l d b o t h e a t. S o I w rote a b o o k wi t h id ea s a n d recipes to help people like me! I remember that I made loads of purees for Stef from the fresh vegetables we grew in the garden to eat with things like salmon with no bon e s, t u n a wi t h p a s ta a n d home-made soups, but Serena was not easy! She liked most meats and loved strawberries, but didn’t really like soup or fish (except scallops!) and she didn’t enjoy vegetables except
broccoli and she wouldn’t eat pasta dishes. I re me mb er g oing to a PTA meeting at Serena’s school and the tea c h er p u lle d m e a s ide . The tea c h er ex p la in ed tha t in c la s s th e y h a d a d is cus s ion a bout favourite foods, most of the child re n lo v e d b ake d be a ns a nd s au s ag es a n d th i ngs like tha t. When it came to Serena she said that her favourite food was hand dived King Scallops, but they had to be hand dived. “W h at d id s h e me a n by ha nd dived?” the teacher asked. So I explained what it meant and I included the fact of how important it was as no other sea or marine life is killed or affected when they are caught this way. I explained the other fishing option was using large nets off the back of boats, they scooped up scallops from the sea beds, but also a lot of other fish and sea life at the same time killing millions of small fish, plants and sea life that were happy settled at the bottom of the sea! The teacher said “OMG thank you so much for teaching me that,
now I know why Serena’s dad is a top chef!” Winding back a little further, when I was young my mother used to make me a smoked salmon dish like a little mousse every so often and whilst I didn’t like fish that much, I loved her salmon mousse as it looked so posh and I loved e a ting it w ith c ris py hot toa s t whilst watching Blue Peter. In 1992 I made one of my first appearances on TV with Serena cooking her a veggie burger made w ith ba ke d be a ns . The s how which went out on BBC2 was trying to get families to cook fresher, more healthy dishes for their children. So re c e ntly w e ha d a fa mily book in to the Little G e ra nium with young children, so I created a tasting menu for the children at their request. The dishes looked like the adult tasting menu, but had a more kidfrie ndly tw is t! I dis c us s e d the menu with the children afterwards and they told me…” it was lovely to eat interesting foods and we really loved the presentation!” I asked which dish they liked
mos t a n d t hey told me that they a dore d t he smoked salmon te rrine , I was surprised! It only goes to s how t hat w ha t we think our kids love (like c h i ps and burgers or c hic k en a nd c hi ps etc) is only our impression a nd no t theirs! Their menu started with a gazpacho of watermelon with creamy goat’s cheese mousse, followed by a little terrine of home smoked salmon and hot walnut toast. Then we served a crispy duck salad (Princess Diana’s favourite) and then wild sea bass with samphire and followed that with beef wellington, carrot puree and truffled mash.
Only The Best cover (Serena on right and Stefanie on the left).
For dessert we made a mini kilner pot of home-made ice creams with toffee sauce and chocolate balls. A special dinner for a lovely family.

Steven’s Smoked Salmon Terrine
SOFT AND CREAMY: Steven’s smoked salmon terrine.
SO this week I am letting you have my smoked salmon terrine recipe. It’s a beautiful rich, soft, creamy dish ideal as a snack or starter for everyone. It freezes well and so can be made in advance and is a show stopper for any dinner party. So even if you are not planning to cook a posh dinner party for friends (or your kids!) then tear out this recipe and keep it because Christmas is coming and I can’t imagine anything better than a smoked salmon terrine sat in the middle of the table served with
crusty toast on Christmas Day! Steven’s Smoked Salmon Terrine 1kg of best sliced smoked salmon 250g of unsalted butter 200ml of cream A little olive oil Juice of 1 lemon Walnut bread Crushed pink and green peppercorns (optional) Method Make a clarified butter. Melt the butter completely in a saucepan. Once it has separat-
ed, use a spoon to carefully remove the milky residue on top and discard. Lay some of the salmon slices across the inside of a terrine mould that has been lined with cling film flowing over the sides. Ensure that the smoked salmon overlaps and is long enough to reach up the sides of the terrine and cover the top when filled. Place the remaining smoked salmon in a food processor and blend until smooth In separate pans, warm the
cream and clarified butter. Slowly add the cream and then the butter to the processed smoked salmon and blend until smooth. Season if needed, but taste first. Pour the salmon mixture into the terrine mould, and fold over the overhanging salmon slices to cover the top. Cover the whole terrine with cling film and place in the fridge to chill for six to eight hours. Slice thinly and sprinkle with the crushed peppercorns and serve with toasted walnut bread.

Choices , choices: have them both? NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England TWO cars on the horizon are the Lotus Evija and the Mercedes-AMG GT R. Both are looking for buyers now, yet one you may have to wait a little longer for delivery than the other. So time enough to get sated rather than bored before having yet more fun with the second. The Mercedes-AMG GT R is available now for deliveries in the autumn and uses a hand built biturbo four-litre V8 engine to push this supercar from 0 to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds. The Lotus Evija will go a little faster, but let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves as they are very different cars.
Back to the Mercedes-AMG, its top speed is electronically limited to 197 miles hour. Yes, that’s a lot and there are going to be few roads that will permit the attempt to reach that top speed without winning a long conversation with an angry speed cop and a large fine. Though of course there is always the track if you really must push through the gate. The Roadster has a triple layered soft top whose elaborate structure is fitted with what Mercedes describe as an ‘acoustic mat’ to reduce noise. The soft top is naturally made to be opened and closed and comes in three colours black, red or beige. Why beige? No idea, though thoughtfully the soft top may be deployed while at a standstill to entertain the gawping pedestrian or at speeds of to 31 mph, a very precise and German upper limit. Fully kitted with AMG highlights and enhancements from the Performance Exhaust to the Performance Headlights, ‘climatised seats with a memory package; air

scarf with neck level heating,’ the Roadster is on the road from £178,000. The Lotus Evija, emits no carbon at all. It’s also the first British all electric Hypercar meaning it has a top speed of 200mph and will get from 0 to 62 mph in less than three seconds. Weighing in at just 1,680 kg’s the Evija is certainly no MercedesAMG GT R the aesthetic is utterly different while both convey even while stationary the capacity for agility, speed and savage yet controlled acceleration they do so with utterly different sensibilities. The Evija has a range of 250 miles or 400 km and will enter production in 2020 to reserve a production slot, there are just 130 slots as this is a very limited edition will entail a £250,000 deposit with an on the road cost from £1.7 million each. The Evija benefits from a power train developed by the scion of the F1 and Formula E Williams racing team, and Lotus’s technical partner Williams Advanced Engineering. Lotus and WAE have developed a mid mounted power pack immediately behind the two seats that supplies energy to the four powerful e-motors, with a target
weight of just 1680kgs Lotus expect the Evija to be the lightest pure electric Hypercar to go into series production. The Evija incorporates recently developed techniques and technologies tested on the racetrack from the Formula E series as well as Le Mans. Inspired by Le Mans race cars an intriguing exterior element are the Venturi Tunnels which pierces each rear quarter of the Evija, directing airflow through the bodyshell. A visual exclamation mark yet this design element pursues a concept known as ‘porosity’ the delivery of high energy air flow to the rear of the car, this reduces the low pressure behind the car and so reduces drag. The car goes faster! When viewed from the rear each Venturi tunnel is illuminated with red LED evoking the afterburner effect of a fighter jet especially when seen at night. To make the point Lotus fit an extra LED hidden within the tunnel to illuminate its interior. Two supercars with striking exteriors, two super powerful powertrains, two amazing decisions to make or just one. Which to choose? An entertaining time to be hand in making the choice.

TESTIMONIAL Hi everybody at EWN Doggie Angells would like to thank you all for your help over the last year. We have had a great deal of success with rehoming our dogs. Sometimes dogs can be with us for long periods. It’s funny when they are adopted people often say we have been looking at this dog in the paper week after week and we kept wanting to adopt him but the time was just not right. He's still in the paper and we are now ready to have him. So that is great - patience pays off. Again thank you all, we very much appreciate all what you do for our charity. Things slow up for us in August, thank goodness it gives us time to catch up. Kind regards Denise and all at Doggie Angells.

TESTIMONIAL Charlie: 5 star No other newspaper as good in Spain, tbh not even any paper in the UK comes close that I have ever seen as good as EWN. Informative, refreshing and full of news and reviews, especially like the nonogram teaser and the horoscopes lol, takes me all week to read front to back. Carry on the good work.

THE names of all Lamborghini’s cars are derived from the world of bullfighting. The Diablo and Murcielago are both the names of famous bulls, while the Estoque is the style of sword that Matadors use.
New 2019 Ford Focus ST FORD has released details of the all-new Focus ST, which they claim delivers nimble hot-hatchback thrills in a stylish, comfortable and practical family car. A new generation of Ford’s 2.3-litre EcoBoost all-aluminium engine is the most powerful ever offered for a Focus ST. Using advanced turbocharging technology to deliver 280 PS power at 5,500 rpm and 420 Nm of torque from 3,000 rpm to 4,000 rpm. Alternatively, Ford’s 190 PS 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine model, delivers peak power at 3,500 rpm and 400 Nm of torque between 2,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm and 360 Nm from 1,500 rpm, which give acceleration of Zero-
WITH an output of up to 310 kW (421 hp), the completely new Mercedes-AMG 2.0 litre engine is currently the world’ s most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder manufactured for series production. Mercedes-AMG has bettered the output of the preceding engine by 30 kW (40 hp) and maximum torque has also increased from 475 to up to 500 Nm. This gives an acceleration of zero to 100 km/h in record time with the CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ Shooting Brake requiring just 4.0 seconds, while the base model CLA 45 4MATIC+ Shooting Brake gets up to speed in 4.1 seconds. AMG has extensively reinforced the body shell, as it provides the basis for the precise self-steering characteristics, as well as track

100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 7.6 seconds for the five-door model. Ford’s first application of an electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) for a front-wheel-drive vehicle further enhances the cornering and stability. The car comes with a
choice of sixspeed manual or quick-shifting new seven-speed automatic transmission, and for the first time, a selectable Drive Modes technology is introduced to the Focus ST, enabling drivers to adjust the vehicle’s character to suit the driving scenario.
Agile and dynamic stability when driving at high speed. The eight-speed dual-clutch transmission also contributes to the car’s agile and dynamic character. The gear ratios have been configured so that the driver experiences spontaneous acceleration in all speed ranges. Depending on the selected driving mode, the driver receives a specific drive configuration with different accelerator and gearshift characteristics. With its sporty appoint-
ments and the sophisticated infotainment system, the high-quality interior creates a close, personal connection between man and machine. The driver and front passenger are seated in an active position on contoured sport seats with firm lateral support. The standard upholstery is a combination of
black Artico man-made leather and Dinamica microfibre. This car also has the Mercedes voice control system, simply activated with the words ‘Hey Mercedes.’ The advanced artificial intelligence system recognises and understands nearly all sentences from the
The Focus ST also benefits from a comprehensive range of technologies introduced for the all-new Focus in 2018, which includes: • Adaptive Cruise Control now enhanced with Stop & Go, Speed Sign Recognition and Lane-Centring for effortlessly negotiating stop-start traffic • Ford’s Adaptive Front Lighting System with new camera-based predictive curve light and sign-based light that pre-adjust headlamp patterns for improved visibility by monitoring bends in the road and road signs • Active Park Assist 2 that operates gear selection, acceleration and braking in addition to steering, to enable fullyautomated manoeuvres at the push of a button • Ford’s first Head-up display helping drivers focus their attention on the road ahead • Evasive Steering Assist, a technology that helps drivers steer around stopped or slower vehicles to help avoid collisions • The Focus ST 2.3-litre EcoBoost delivers from 7.9 l/100 km fuel efficiency, and from 179 g/km CO2 emissions.
fields of infotainment and vehicle operation, even if they are expressed indirectly. Combined fuel consumption 8.48.2 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 191-188 g/km. The shooting-brake additionally offers a pronounced degree of practicality. At 505 litres, the boot is large enough to accommodate a wealth of recreational and outdoor equipment plus the tailgate can also be opened contactlessly with an easy-pack system and comes with hands-free access.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher HONDA’S Jazz hatchback has been a very popular model in recent years, appealing to those who look for reliability and low running costs, but are not too concerned about sporty performance. However, the Jazz is now available with a more punchy 1.5-litre petrol engine which will widen its appeal to younger buyers who tend to prefer more zesty performance and sharper handling. The previous 1.3-litre 101 hp petrol engine is still available, but the new 1.5-litre unit packs 128 hp, and with a sixspeed manual gearbox (a CVT auto gearbox is an option) delivers a quick 0-100 kph time of 8.7 seconds and a top speed of 190 kph (118 mph). Average fuel economy is 17 kpl (47.9 mpg) and emissions are 133 g/km. With this larger engine in my upper-spec Sport Navi test model, there was not only an immediate performance boost but a whole new persona for the Jazz because it has also had an exterior make-over to ‘COCHES sin Carnet’ or microcars are legally described as four-wheelers whose empty mass is limited and cannot exceed 45 km / h. Originally they were the preferred option by the elderly. Latterly, they began to be used by women aged 35 to 50 and young people aged 15 to 18. They saw them as a seemingly safer alternative than the moped for short journeys. Now the monicker ‘Car without a licence’ is not absolutely true, it is necessary to have the AM class on your licence, that is, the moped licence. The driver must be at least 15 years old, and, of course, the holder must have passed the psycho technical test and the theoretical exam. It is important to note that the cars can only carry two occupants, must be driven on the hard shoulder, where one is available, and are prohibited from motorways. The vehicle also must be registered and insured. Aixam, a French company specialised in the manufacture of microcars, is committed to electric mobility and has launched the new eAixam range with the eCity and

means the Jazz is bigger inside than you might expect, and has good occupant space front and rear, with wide doors allowing easy access. A large tailgate reveals a 354-litre boot, expandable to 897 litres by folding the rear seats flat. It gets full marks for practicality. And it score highly for equipment too. Standard kit on this model includes fourpowered windows, cruise control, auto lights, touchscreen infotainment unit with connectivity and smartphone mirroring, sat-nav, forward collision warning, lane-keep assistance, and auto city braking system. Jazz prices start at €16,290 (£14,600) and there are several trim levels, with my Sport Navi version at €20,383 (£18,250). With the new engine option, forceful new styling and with Honda’s legendary reliability record, the potential market for the Jazz is greatly increased and this sporty version should prove popular.

IT was magnificent seven for Lewis Hamilton as he clinched a gripping Hungarian GP for the seventh time seven years on from his first win for Mercedes. That first win was also at the Hungaroring and had been an unexpected victory at the time after Mercedes had struggled in the first few races of the season. This time round it took a gamble from the team and a superlative drive from Hamilton to snatch victory from Max Verstappen in a race of high tenCredit: MercedesAMG-F1/Twitter

lent drive from pole. Hamilton was all over the back of Verstappen after the first round of pitstops saw the British racer with fresher tyres. But Verstappen impressively held him off despite Hamilton pushing hard. When his Mercedes brakes started to get overheating problems and his tyres started to wear Hamilton had to ease off. It was then that the Mercedes team had a masterstroke. They changed strategy and brought Hamilton in for a second pitstop. Verstappen’s Aston Martin Red Bull team failed to react, leaving him to try to last the race out on worn tyres. While Hamilton now had the advantage of fresh tyres he still had a massive gap to close on the leader of around 20 seconds. The Briton chased down Verstappen,
and with three laps to go, Hamilton made the pass to take the lead, going on to take his seventh Hungarian GP win. Verstappen was forced to pit, as his tyres were now totally worn, and came back out in second. He promptly pumped in the fastest lap, to get the extra bonus point, and crossed the line 17.7s adrift with Sebastian Vettel passing Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc late on for third. Spain’s Carlos Sainz took a brilliant fifth for McLaren ahead of Red Bull’s Pierre Gasly and Alfa Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen. Bottas, who was forced to pit early on for a new nose after contact with Hamilton and Leclerc, recovered to eighth, with McLaren’s Lando Norris and Toro Rosso’s Alexander Albon completing the top 10. In the championship race Hamilton now has 250 points, a 62 point lead over teammate Bottas. Mercedes-AMG Petronas (438 points) lead Ferrari (288 points) by 150

points in the Constructors’ Championship. Lewis Hamilton said: “We’ve been together for seven years, but this feeling never gets old. If it wasn’t for everyone here and back at the factory, this wouldn’t have been possible. “I’m so grateful to be a part of it and for the team for continuing to believe in me, push the limits and take a risk. We struggled a little with the brakes today, so I was trying to save as much as I could for when I had a chance to pass Max. It was very, very difficult to get by. “I wasn’t sure if I could close the 19second gap, but the team said to just get your head down, so I did. I kept pushing, the gap closed and the laps were like qualifying laps. I was on the limit all the way. I take my hat off to the team and I think if Niki were here today, he would take his hat off too.” Mercedes team leader Toto Wolff said: “What an unbelievable comeback. This is why we love the sport, you are holding onto moments like this, where it’s an unexpected result and this is why it feels so great. “We didn’t think it would go this way but the strategy team did so well and made great calls. There was a specific point in the race where we weren’t sure if Lewis would catch Max, but he got his head down and once the Red Bull was in sight, we knew he’d pounce. “An incredible drive and a great result to head into the summer break with.”
Exciting regatta in Mallorca THE Copa del Rey MAPFRE is a regatta with a reputation for exciting sailing and tense finishes, and the 38th edition that finished at the weekend didn’t disappoint. After six exciting days of competition, the identity of the champions of the 11 classes was only revealed on the last day. Among the milestones of the 38th Copa del Rey MAPFRE was the defence of their 2018 titles by Estrella Damm in the BMW ORC 2 class and L’Immens Laplaza Assessors in BMW ORC 3. Historic victories were scored by Natalia in Mallorca Sotheby’s ClubSwan 42, which became the first Romanian champion and Oman Air, which became the first Omani champion. On top of that the Federación Balear took the first all-female crew prize. In total 132 teams of 26 nationalities competed in 11 classes and four regatta areas in Palma Bay. The 11 winners are: the Italians Cannonball in Mallorca Sotheby’s IRC and Cuordileone in ClubSwan 50; the French Team Vision Future in BMW ORC 0; the Omani Oman Air in
GC32; Natalia in Mallorca Sotheby’s ClubSwan 42; and the Spanish Porrón IX in Swan 45, Estrella Damm in BMW ORC 1, El Carmen - Elite Sails in BMW ORC 2, L’Immens - Laplaza Assessors in BMW ORC 3, Federación Balear in Purobeach Women’s Cup and Grupo Garatu in Herbalife Nutrition J80. Speaking after the final classifications were anounced Helena Alegre, skipper of Federación Balear, Purobeach Women’s Cup champion said: “We only met for the first time one week ago. It was all to play for today but when we won the first race then we could breathe a little easier. And to win this event for all female crews on our own home waters with a bunch of girls we all met up together is great. We have won the Cup and won friends.” This was the first time the Copa del Rey has had a category for all female crews. It was introduced as a way of helping Spain’s Olympic qualifying campaign. But it is not the only category that women can sail in, as proven by Natalia Brailoiu, skip-
per of Natalia, Mallorca Sotheby’s ClubSwan 42 champion. She said: “It is a dream come true! This has been a good, strong class in which you have to fight for every place, every point. This time we were very concentrated and focused.” Ed Baird, tactician on Cannonball, Mallorca Sotheby’s IRC champion said: “This is terrific. You come here worried when you have not seen another Maxi72 for eight months and so to win is great. “Proteus did a great job winning today which was the best they could do to get second. Bella Mente is a brand new boat and the other two boats here are three years old and we are all here hoping we are competitive with the new boat.” Leonardo Ferragamo, skipper/owner on Cuordileone, ClubSwan 50 champion said: “I feel extremely rewarded and very excited. There is a lot of relief, the tension of racing seven very intense days goes away. I think this will be my 10th Copa del Rey and to win it with the ClubSwan 50, one of the main classes here, feels like a great achievement.”

Marquez equals Hailwood record By Dilip Kuner CHAMPIONSHIP leader Marc Marquez reaffirmed his position at the top of the MotoGP standings after another dominant weekend at the Czech Grand Prix in Brno. After equalling Mick Doohan’s 58 career pole positions on Saturday, his win makes him only the fourth rider in modern history to reach 50 top tier victories. The win also means he equals legendary British rider Mike Hailwood’s 76 wins across all classes. Fourth on the all time winner list, Marquez heads to round 11 in Austria with 210 points - 63 points clear of second placed Dovizioso. The race weekend was littered with scattered showers which played right into the Spaniard’s hands. Marquez is rightly known for being faultless in mixed conditions. The race start was delayed for 40 minutes after a shower deposited standing water onto the start/finish straight and into turn one.

European champs again IT has been a long wait but Spain’s under-18 basketball players are European champions once again. They overcame Turkey 57-53 in the final to take the title for the first time since 2011, but they had to do it the hard way. They found themselves 13 points behind in the second half of the match being played in Volos (Greece) but 6ft 11in Santi Aldama stepped forward to grab the game by the scruff of the neck. He sank shots from long distance, got to the hoop and dominated the game as he collected 23 points, all after coming off the bench. Even then Spain nearly gave it away again as they went seven long minutes in the final quarter without scoring a single field goal. However, as the clock ticked down up stepped Oier Ardanza who scored with a pair of free throws, and a put-back layup that made it 5550 with 38.5 left to play. Turkey managed a quick three-pointer, but could not secure a rebound and Spain scored late to ensure the win. FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis and FIBA Executive Director Europe Kamil Novak were on hand to witness Spain’s triumph.
