27 THE JUCAR CANYON in the region of Castile-La Mancha is one of Spain’s lesser known natural wonders.
Spain’s forgotten canyon AROUND a two-hour drive from Alicante airport, one of Spain’s most stunning natural wonders lies in the depths of rural Castile-La Mancha. The Jucar Canyon is a 40km gorge that is carved through the Albacete countryside, with picturesque villages and luscious green forests lining the banks of the Jucar River that follows its path. The canyon is situated in an area known as La Manchuela. The
source of the canyon starts out as rich, fertile vegetable gardens and river vegetation. It soon transforms into a unique habitat, with woodland of juniper, pine and holm-oak perched on the side of the steep 100-metre high gorge sides. On the steeper sections the rocky outcrops are home to nesting birds of prey such as Griffon Vultures and Golden Eagles and the river is rich in aquatic and bird life. One of the most spectacular
sights along the gorge is the villages that are perched on top of the many meanders that the river takes. One of the most spectacular being the stretch between Valdeganga to the village of Villa de Ves. Although relatively unknown as a tourist destination, sports such as hiking, fishing, cycle-touring, kayaking are all practised on the river, and a number of lovely guest houses are situated along the length of the river.
Progress urged on
Out to tender
REVIVAL of the local tram system is being urged as part of a coastal train project. The Governing Board of the town council of Velez-Malaga has approved a motion to urge the Andalucian Board to reignite plans to resume the operation of the coastal tram service. The proposal by the mayor, Antonio Moreno Ferrer, pushes to include the reopening of the rail connection between VelezMalaga and Torre del Mar in the overall plans for the Coastal Train Project that aims to join Fuengirola and Estepona. The original tram service opened in 2006 with a budget of €32 million. However, the project closed down in 2012 due to financial difficulties. Moreno Ferrer said: “We are a city that can enhance employment, wealth and tourism and it is necessary the Board continue investing on the eastern coast of Malaga with the coastal train as a project to consolidate the local economy.”
TRANSFORMATION of the Mercovelez building in the Axarquian capital, Velez-Malaga has taken its first steps as the contracts for the construction work go out to tender. The tenders, worth a total of €1.6 million, will go out in stages, with the first stage to replace 5,805 sqm of roof and the installation of solar panels. The deadline for the first stage for interested parties is Thursday August 29. Talks with the leading candidates are being held the following week to determine timescales and budgets. The project is designed to turn the old market into a multipurpose events centre and hotel that will bring much needed cultural facilities and jobs to the city. Mayor of Velez-Malaga, Antonio Moreno Ferrer (PSOE) explained that: “The project involves several fundamental actions to promote energy saving and reduce pollution, since, from the town council, we are committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly actions.”

LEAK: Antonio Muñoz demands justice after documents were leaked.
Popular Party demands data leak enquiry AN investigation into the leak of confidential documents is being demanded in Moclinejo. President of the PP of Moclinejo and popular spokesman in the town council, Antonio Muñoz, has reported that the Popular Municipal Group has filed a petition to launch an investigation into the data leak which has revealed confidential documents to the public. The leaked document included names shortlisted to cover a municipal job in the town, a document that was intended for internal use and was highly confidential.
Muñoz has stressed that it is a “serious matter” and that they have proof that the document was leaked by a member of the rival PSOE party. “We have had proof that, through a person in charge of the government team led by the PSOE, a copy or photograph of this information has been leaked to residents of the municipality,” explained Munoz. “This type of action reflects the lack of responsibility and respect of this new government team by public institutions and entities,” he continued.

INCREASING demand for office space in Malaga City has led the city council to put up for auction a plot of land covering almost 8,000 square metres. The Planning Department has put up the plot, located on the western coast of the city, for a total of €7 million. The site was originally shortlisted to be used for a 230-room hotel, but the plan fell through shortly after planning stages. The council then allocated the land to build the headquarters of the Medicines Agency, however that plan met the same fate.

Alongside the new aid plan, the coalition has stated that residents who have not obtained the aid, for any irregular situation, tax debt, or administration issue, they can correct these breaches and recover the aid.

Bank tellers’ future SPANISH banks are reportedly heading more and more towards the digital age, and consequently the service of the bank teller is apparently in danger. These days, unless you need to perform a complicated operation, chances are that you simply go to an ATM. Retail bank branches appear to remain relevant, despite an onslaught of technological innovations, but the teller’s days within those branches seem to be numbered. ATMs have existed for over 50 years now and their capabilities continue to grow. These days online banking through websites and mobile apps are also becoming more popular and user friendly. People want simple and convenient banking, and not to have to go down to the bank in person to have to queue. Not to mention that in Spain, banking hours are very limited. Of course, not everything can be done via a machine and sometimes something as simple as a machine breaking down outside of the actual bank’s hours, can leave customers in a sticky situation. As a whole though, sources claim that the number of machines is on the rise.

Donating blood in Spain OBLIVIOUS: Girl’s drink is spiked.
Women only hotel FOR some time now there has been a growing business trend focused on the female audience. Female-only gyms have existed for a while, some hotels have women-only floors.

identifying customers only. Som Hotels president, Joan Enric Capellá, had observed a gap in the market to catering for this need. There are already specialised hotels for adults-only, gay-friendly and even hotels for vegans, but as Capellá pointed out, there was nothing in Spain to cater exclusively for women and a survey conducted
across the hotel chain found that there was a demand for it. The hotel, which opened this season, promises a number of packages with a focus on wellness, fitness, health and detox retreats. Also the possibility to bring solo female travellers together to socialise and explore Mallorca's cultural offerings.
Lifeguard assault SPANISH police have opened an investigation into an attempted sexual assault. The alleged perpetrator is a Moroccan citizen. The incident took place on Friday (August 16). It has been reported that the Ertzaintza police received a call at 2.20pm on Friday afternoon, alerting them of the attempted sexual assault of a female lifeguard at the beach in La Concha de San Sebastian. The incident took place inside the lifeguard's locker
room, where the suspect attempted to assault the woman. Municipal sources have stated that “the suspect suffocated the victim until she was left unconscious. Luckily, he did not achieve his goal.” Once the lifeguard recovered she was able to leave the locker room and call on her colleagues for help. The investigation into the incident by the Spanish police is still ongoing. So far, no arrests have been made.
LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

HALT: Police in Puerto Banus tried to stop car.
Shots fired at car MARBELLA Local Police fired shots at a car in Puerto Banus after it crashed into a patrol vehicle then sped away at high speed. Police had stopped the car after it was seen skidding round corners at high speed. When officers pulled the vehicle over at 6.30am last Thursday, instead of turning the engine off and getting out as ordered, the driver reversed at high speed, hitting the police car, then accelerated away. Police allege the driver one of three occupants of the 220HP Renault Megane - deliberately tried to run over an officer who had to jump clear to avoid being
run over. At this point police fired several shots at the tyres of the car in an effort to bring it to a halt. The suspect car sped off through several red lights and on to the A-7 coastal road where a chase at speeds of up to 200kph ensued until the suspect crashed on the notorious La Cala bend. When Guardia Civil arrived the driver and passengers had disappeared. Investigations have revealed the car had been stolen in France last June. A search of the vehicle discovered gloves and lockpicks inside.

BREXIT BRIEF Making provisions IN his latest speech Jeremy Corbyn has cited new leaked documents pertaining to an operation aimed at making provisions necessary to keep the supply of some vital medicines and food steady in post-Brexit Britain. The documents for the operation entitled ‘Yellowhammer’ suggest that the UK will have problems importing some vital medicines and some fresh food after leaving the EU. Michael Gove - the minister in charge of making sure that in a no-deal scenario Britain’s assets and economy is secure - has been reported as saying that operation Yellowhammer denotes the worst case scenario. He claims that he and his team are making sufficient efforts to stop severe delays in receiving medicine and food. According to various government sources however, the leaked documents mention that the worst case scenario is the scenario most likely to transpire.
Corbyn intent on stopping No Deal JEREMY CORBYN has stated in a recent speech that he will not let Boris Johnson ‘crash out’ of the EU without a deal by calling for another election after they hold a vote of no confidence. Corbyn compared Johnson to Trump in his speech, a likeness that drew the Conservatives to respond in turn by referring to this attempt to gain power as a ‘cynical’ move to ‘dither.’ Corbyn expressed that Labour is morally obliged to take the situation into their own hands and capitalise on the aftermath of the vote of no confidence to avoid what he has termed a ‘Trump Deal Brexit.’ The vote of no confidence is scheduled to take place early October before the UK is sup-
SPEECH: Corbyn addressed the public on Monday. posed to be taken out of the EU. If Johnson cannot secure
his position as prime minister in the two weeks after the first
vote, Corbyn will have an opportunity to stop the Conservative government from forcing the UK out of the EU. Johnson believes that he will still have the power to do so whilst the second vote is in situ. The Labour party has agreed that Jeremy Corbyn cannot control a majority vote in parliament if the Conservative lose the vote of no confidence. Brexit spokesperson Tom Brake has called for Corbyn to stand down if this is the case and back a new leader who will ultimately have more success in the house. Corbyn has refused to relinquish his position after a vote of no confidence is passed and has urged all those in the remain camp to get on board with his plan.

BREXIT EXTRA Leaked docs BORIS JOHN SON has blamed Phillip Hammond for leaking the documents pertaining to Operation Yellowhammer. Hammond has vehemently denied any involvement in this alleged intentional move to undermine Johnson and his team before important negotiations with the EU.
Farming news MP Owen Paterson has claimed that when the UK leaves the EU farmers will be able to better plan funding to cover their costs and they will not have to compete with the European farmers who will be able to significantly undercut them.
New structure JEREMY CORBYN has proposed a new structure of taxation after Brexit in the new economic landscape. He said in his speech on Monday a general election after October 31 when the UK is set to leave the EU will necessitate increased taxing of the very wealthy.

Ronaldo rape allegations IN June 2009, alleged victim Kathryn Mayorga (former model) called police to report she had been the victim of sexual assault. She refused to name her alleged attacker and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department closed the case after losing vital video evidence. A civil settlement was reached between the two parties in 2010, but Mayorga asked the police to reopen the investigation in August 2018, naming Ronaldo as the offender. Kathryn Mayorga claims she took $375,000 of hush-money from Ronaldo back in 2010 as part of a private settlement - and has previously said she signed a confidentiality agreement vowing to remain quiet about the alleged incident. Her lawyers have said she was inspired to speak out and

make her claim public by the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment. Ronaldo has maintained that he is not guilty in regard to the 10-year-old sexual assault allegation that he raped a woman in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009. Ronald claims the money is not an admission of guilt, rather the cost of keeping a le-
gal dispute out of the media. “Based upon a review of the information presented at this time, the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” as stated by the District Attorney’s Office. The civil lawsuit has been moved to a federal court.
Newly-wed PC’s murder JED FOSTER, 20, of Reading, has been charged with murdering 28-year-old PC Andrew Harper, who was killed while investigating a burglary together with a fellow officer in Sulhamstead at around 11.30pm on Thursday. A post-mortem examination concluded that he died of multiple injuries after being dragged along the road by a vehicle. Foster, also charged with the theft of a quad bike, was expected to appear at Reading Magistrates’ Court this week. Nine other men and boys, aged between 13 and 30, who were arrested at the same time have been released on bail until September 13. Andrew Harper’s wife, Lissie, released a tribute to him on Monday night, calling him “the kindest, loveliest, most selfless person.” Tribute from wife Lissie “the kindest, loveliest, most selfless person.”
Property damage to your bike IT’S summertime, and the Spanish open roads beckon. Whether you ride a motorcycle, moped or motorised bike, there is nothing like letting your bike take you where you want to go. But before you suit up and head out, check that your motorcycle insurance includes standard coverage items such as property damage to the bike. Bike insurance policies from Línea Directa include total theft by third parties and any damage in the event of an accident resulting from a collision or impact. Compensation If the repair estimate exceeds 100 per cent of the bike’s market value, then it will be considered a total writeoff. In this case, compensation is calculated according to the bike’s age; during the first 12 months: value as new, from month 13 onwards: market value. Damage to the tyres are also covered, with 80 per cent of their value as new if no liable third party vehicle is identified, and 100 per cent if the other vehicle is identified. Standard equipment is also covered and compensated at replacement value. Repair costs, following an accident, are covered 100 per cent providing the insured submits the relevant invoices. Ways to save money on your bike insurance Línea Directa recommends
you shop around not only to find the best price but also the best coverage, by comparing detailed quotes. Don’t cancel your policy in the winter because you won’t save on premiums, and with many fair weather riding days throughout the year, you won’t be insured if you want to go for a ride. Keep a clean record to help keep your premiums as low as possible. Always secure your bike in a locked facility and install an antitheft device. Tips for safe, claimsfree biking Before each ride, check your bike’s tyres, brakes and oil and petrol levels. Wear an approved helmet and if it has been involved in an accident then buy a new one. Wear a jacket, pants, gloves and riding boots, fluorescent or reflective materials will make you more visible to other road users especially at night. Remain alert at all times, especially at intersections and blind corners. Always respect speed limits and adjust your riding to the road and surface conditions.

Airport strikes
IBERIA workers at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport have announced four days of strikes on August 24, 25, 30 and 31. According to trade union UGT, as in July the strikes are in protest at the lack of sufficient staff to meet real needs and the ‘systematic failure’ by the company to meet previous agreements reached with staff. The main problems are, according to the union, the lack of permanent staff they need to increase the temporary workforce and the indiscriminate use of compulsory overtime.

Is the size of the ‘cushion’ the Bank of Spain has built up in case of another banking crisis.
Ferrovial deal called off
A CONSORTIUM led by Spanish multinational Ferrovial has had a $650 million (€580 million) contract to remodel and then operate for 34 years Denver International Airport’s main terminal rescinded. The project, which also involved a company owned by basketball player Magic Johnson, has run into technical problems as well as disagreements between the client and the consortium, according to both the airport and the builders. The consortium has said it rejects the unilateral decision of the airport to terminate the contract in-
By Dilip Kuner stead of continuing with negotiations that started in late 2018 to resolve their differences. This group of companies, which includes the local firm Saunders and JLC, an investment fund made up of Loop Capital and Magic Johnson, has also said it will claim compensation, as outlined in the original contract, but has said it will ensure an orderly transition to a new contractor and so will stay in charge until November. According to the group presided
over by Rafael del Pino, the origin of the technical problems lies in the difficulties posed by the characteristics of the concrete originally used to build the airport terminal which is now being remodelled. On top of that, the client has been introducing changes and modifications to the original project. All this has led to delays and cost overruns in the works. Denver International Airport is the largest in the United States in terms of total area and the fifth busiest airport in the country.
Factories switch RETAIL giant Inditex has been reducing its number of manufacturing partners in Latin America and moving to Asia. Since 2015, the number of factories with which Inditex works have been cut by 96 per cent and 55 per cent in Brazil and Argentina respectively. At the same time the number of factories working for Inditex on a non-exclusive basis increased notably in Cambodia (43 per cent), China (40 per cent) and Bangladesh (35 per cent). China is the country with the highest number of plants associated with the company, 1,903.

Homes sale TILLS RINGING: Beer sales at Mercadona on the up.
Cheers for the beer SUPERMARKET chain Mercadona looks to have won its bet on Spanish beer. In just a year it has increased its number of beer suppliers from seven to 40 including artisanal brews. As a result, in 2018 it sold 60 per cent more Spanish beer than the previous year to make a total of 240 million litres. Currently on its shelves you can find Mahou, Heineken, Damm, Estrella Galicia, La Zaragozana, Compañía Cervecera de Canarias, Font Salem, Tyris, La Sagra, Arriaca, La Virgen, Birra & Blues, Alegría, Premium Beers, Gara, Mulhacén, Nazarí, Rosas, Alma Turdetana, Gaitanejo, Domus, La Salve, 15&30, Tibidabo, Barcelona Beer Company, Mica, Kadabra and Toro.
SAREB is selling 3,500 homes around Spain aimed at foreigners and single people looking for one and two-bedroom properties, with prices starting from €26,000 for a small flat in Roquetas de Mar (Almeria).
Big fine WATCHDOG CNMV has fined Jaime Botín, brother of former president of Banco Santander Emilio Botín, €300,000 for not reporting that he had a significant stake of 7.85 per cent in Bankinter.
Auditors cashing in THE Big Four received €312 million as auditors of Ibex companies in 2018, 11 per cent less than in 2015. Leading the way were PwC and KPMG who charged €148 million and €80 million respectively. They have been helped by the Accounts Audit Act, passed in July 2015, which was intended to encourage independence and competition between companies. Three years after its
entry came into force in June 2016, the status quo has changed radically and audits of Ibex companies, traditionally dominated by Deloitte, are now dominated by PwC, which verifies the accounts of a dozen companies. In 2018, PwC provided audit, verification and related services to Acerinox, Sabadell, Bankinter, CaixaBank, Cie, Colonial, Ence, Meliá, Repsol, Santander, Telefónica and Viscofan.

Low growth forecast FUNDS manager Pimco expects eurozone GDP to grow between 0.75 per cent and 1.25 per cent in 2019. With some countries in recession this represents a slowdown influenced by the significant downward pressure on the economy of weak world trade. Pimco’s forecasts are more pessimistic than those of the European Commission itself, which predicted growth of 1.2 per cent in 2019 for the euro area. In the second quarter, the single currency economy grew by just 0.2 per cent, half that of the first quarter, as confirmed this week by Eurostat. Germany’s economy contracted by 0.1 per cent. Further afield, Pimco considers that the yuan’s stability is ‘well anchored’ with a ‘patient’ Federal Reserve, which understands that this should be a component of the t r a d e a g re e m e n t b e tween China and the US. The European Central Bank (ECB) is preparing a major stimulus package against the weakness of the Eurozone, as recently announced by its president, Mario Draghi. It is trying to curb an ‘ever-worsening’ economic scenario. As for the United Kingdom, the fund manager has predicted real growth in the range of 1 per cent to 1.5 per cent in 2019, since it considers a nodeal Brexit ‘a low probability event.’

FINANCE, BUSINESS & LEGAL TREND BUCKER: VW plant is going to increase production.
Vehicle production on the decline VEHICLE production in Spain, the second largest producer in Europe and the ninth largest in the world, continues to fall. Official data shows that up to the end of May, it had fallen by 5.6 per cent compared to the same period of 2018. Forecasts are for the decline to be between 3 per cent and 5 per cent of volume to about 2.7 million units by the end of the year, which would be the third consecutive year of falls. The main reason for this loss of production derives from the fall in demand of Spain’s main markets which are 90 per cent European. Leading the fall in sales has been Spain itself, which saw 5.7 per cent fewer registrations in the first six months of the year. Italy saw a decline of 3.5 per cent to 1.08 million registrations. Third was the United Kingdom with a decrease of 3.4 per cent, to 1.26 million units. In France, deliveries fell by 1.8 per cent to
1.16 million. Germany, the main European market, grew by 0.5 per cent to 1.84 million sales, but could not prevent sales in Europe as a whole from contracting by 3.1 per cent. This loss of demand is causing production adjustments at Spanish car plants. Mercedez-Benz Vitoria has reduced production of Class V and Vito vans by 6,000 units for this year. The Villaverde plant of the PSA Group is undergoing a process of temporary employment regulation (Erte) until 2020; and in the centre of Vigo, on the line that manufactures the Peugeot 301 and Citroën CElysée, another temporary employment agreement has been formalised until production of these models ends at the end of the year. Ford Almussafes has just announced another Erte that will affect all its workers until the end of the year, both in the car plant and in the engine plant. Iveco,
CNH Industrial’s truck manufacturer, has had another Erte since January 2018 at its Madrid plant. Nissan Barcelona is running an ERE for 600 people because of the low demand for the pick-ups it produces. And Nissan Avila has already stopped manufacturing trucks to become a plant producing spare parts. On the positive side, the Volkswagen group has just awarded its factory in Landaben a third model that will start production in the second half of 2021 and will guarantee 340,000 units per year in the medium term. In 2018 it produced 272,000 cars. Both VW Navarra and Seat Martorell will end the year with more production. Ford will manufacture battery packs in Almussafes from September 2020; and Renault, whose production in Valladolid and Palencia is falling, expects to start making the new Renault Captur and Mégane by the end of 2020.
False selfemployed THE National Statistics Institute (INE) has reclassified as salaried 143,500 workers who initially declared themselves as self-employed in the second quarter of 2019. This figure is 9,200 persons lower than that recorded in the first quarter, when the INE detected 152,700 people falsely declared as self-employed. In short, in the first half of th e y e a r almo s t 3 0 0 , 000 pe ople were in this situation. If we compare the data for the second quarter of this year with that of the same period of the previous year, the self-employed reclassified as employees fell by 26.5 per cent. Meanwhile, between April and
June of this year, the INE counted 98,700 inde pe nde nt w orke rs or businessmen without employees who work almost exclusively for one client, although they attend to others when they arise. This figure is low e r tha n both the pre vious quarter, when there were 104,400 people, and the figure recorded in the s e c ond qua rte r of 2018 (112,300). Thus, in the light of INE data, more people are self-employed but recognise that they work for a single client and, as a consequence, have been considered by Statistics as employees.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I TRULY am heartily sick and tired of being made to feel guilty for being in the majority. It is no fault of mine that I am a heterosexual male, perfectly at ease with my gender. Frankly I don’t care how anyone else chooses to lead their existence. I don’t care if men want to dress in frocks, Botox their bums, walk around in six-inch heels with light bulbs up their noses or use ladies toilets. Personally I couldn’t care less. Do anything you like. Live however you want. Just stop trying to convince me that living this type of existence is the ‘norm!’ By constantly trying to shove these gender bender ideals down everyone’s throats and endeavouring to convince us it’s all terribly normal, is inferring that those of us (the majority!) who lead rather more mundane and heterosexual existences - are actually abnormal. And frankly that offends me. Did it ever dawn on all of the gender benders that are hell bent on ‘changing society,’ that the reason we are described as the ‘silent majority’ is because we are perfectly happy with our lot. It’s only those who are utterly insecure with their chosen paths that feel the need to make the most noise and create all the furore.

Changing society
IDEALS: Not for everyone.
What is not realised is that by making a completely over the top spectacle of themselves and thrusting their beliefs onto society through demonstrations and outrageous actions, they are actually alienating themselves from many who may otherwise be more sympathetic to their cause.
So do us all and yourselves a favour. Tone it down a bit. Enjoy and try to be comfortable in your bodies. Show the majority a little respect. Please don’t try to force us to accept outrageous and utterly over the top behaviour as the ‘norm.’ Most of us are perfectly happy the way we are. We would also like to
keep the whole controversial issue out of our innocent classrooms - if you get my drift! Oh, and by the way, before those who disagree with my views start writing in accusing me of being homophobic, please make sure you have interpreted my piece correctly. Personally I’ve always loved a bit of drag, just don’t want it shoved down my throat, that’s all. At the time of writing I have no idea how the circumstances of tragic teenager Nora Quoirin will turn out; but quite frankly, if the Malaysian authorities expect us to believe that a 15-year-old girl with severe special needs, is able to trek shoeless, through one and a half miles of thick jungle, and be discovered 10 days later completely naked and displaying just a few leg bruises - had actually managed it under her own steam, they must have taken leave of their senses. We all understand you have to protect your tourist industry, but credit us all with a little intelligence and get to work finding those who actually did commit this heinous and horrific abduction.

CASSANDRA NASH A WEEKLY LOOK - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
THIS has nothing to do with ideology or voters’ political orientation. If there is a November election because two groups of knowledgeable and - in some cases - experienced people cannot reach agreement over who will do what in a hypothetical government, the PSOE and UnidasPodemos parties should prepare for a punishment vote. Roughly 7.5 million people voted for the PSOE and about half that for Unidas Podemos last April. Had they wanted a return to the mid-70’s they would have voted for the Partido Popular, for Ciudadanos and, heaven forfend, for Vox who would have opted for the same threesome they have created in Andalucia, Murcia and Madrid where none was the most-voted party. This could happen nationally next November because the people the PSOE and Unidas-Podemos expect to vote for them will stay indoors instead. PSOE analysts believe they would pick up far more than their current 123 seats in another election athough

No sun - no moon UP would plummet. Therefore PSOE will wing it and win. Therefore nothing. Do you remember Thomas Hood’s poem that begins ‘No sun - no moon!’ and ends ‘November?’
To that should be add’“No votes!’
Upset tummies IT’S the silly season again, although there’s not much silly about this sum-
mer of discontent in Spain or the UK. But at least the Clinica Universidad de Navarra, run by the Catholic sect Opus Dei has done the honours with its announcement that promiscuity and homosexuality are responsible
Virtue signalling THERE is an outside chance that Isabel Maria Ayuso, who was finally invested regional president of the Madrid Community, could be investigated for links to the Punica corruption case. Punica? Just another PP-generated corruption case temporarily overlooked by a public more interested in acquiring a national government. They won’t be forgotten for long because the courts continue digging and the ghosts of cases past are ready to sidle out of the shadows and say ‘Run!’ to Pablo Casado. Ciudadanos’ whose votes, together with Vox’s, put Ayuso where she is has begun to cover its back, saying that if she should be investigated she would have to resign. It’s not likely to happen but it looks good and plays nicely to the gallery, especially those who rightly feel that Cs have sold out to Vox.
ISABEL MARIA AYUSO: Possible investigation.

Straight down the middle ALBERT RIVERA’S dislike of Spain’s acting president Pedro Sanchez is increasingly personal, not political, as his refusal to meet him demonstrates. It’s not easy to discern what Rivera hopes to achieve with an enmity that was magnified by Sanchez’s elevation to president when the PSOE was at its lowest ebb and Cs at its highest. Rivera, but not his party, is listing to starboard when he could do far more harm to Sanchez and Pablo Casado’s PP by staying on course in the Centre. He needs to attract the undecided who ultimately decide elections, but instead he’s sending them anywhere but Cs.

ARE you by chance looking to build in Spain and need that all-important building permit? Well fear not. After 137 years, 10 architects, and millions of euros of administrative costs, Barcelona’s modernist masterpiece Antoni Gaudí’s Sagrada Familía has finally been granted one! In what has been satirised as the ultimate tale of sluggish bureaucracy, Barcelona City Hall gave the belated goahead for ongoing work on the basilica, expected to be completed in 2026. Now this has to be some sort of record: has the Guinness Book of Records been consulted? But seriously, how could the approval cost so much? Either it needed approval or it didn’t; surely a simple matter requiring just one meeting and discussion. Just as well that all the outstanding buildings of the past - the ancient Wonders of the World - were constructed before planning controls or red tape! While it was Spain’s King Carlos I who invented the system of tying official documents with red tape in the16th century,

Barcelona’s Sagrada Familía finally gets building permit
BUILDING PERMIT: After 137 years. it was his son, Felipe II, known as ‘El Rey Burócrata’ or ‘El Rey Papelero’ for his monomaniacal obsession with paperwork, who really took Spanish bureaucracy to another level. Every country’s got its share of bureaucracy, right? Here in Spain over the centuries,
though, it’s been taken to a high art form. Take tourism, for instance. A report on the situation of, and prospects for, Spain and tourism highlighted how much it costs in Spain to obtain a licence for a bar or restaurant and what it costs, for instance, in Germany (considerably less!). Not to mention, the length of time it takes to obtain that same licence in Spain (over 60 days) compared with other parts of Europe (usually less than one week in the UK). For many, Barcelona wouldn’t be Barcelona without the Sagrada Familía. For them, this UNESCO World Heritage Site IS one of the new Wonders of the World. Maybe just as well, then, it’s not dealing with a British council planning department which would have probably ordered its complete demolition...

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he withhold the minutes? Our community consists of an aparthotel with 130 privately owned apartments. Three quarters of these are in a letting pool, which is run as a hotel by our managing agent, who is also the community administrator. Because of the conflict of interest and complicated money transfers, we agreed by a large majority at the AGM to split the residential community from the letting business. Our administrator disagreed so we called an EGM, which we won. We also had a notary and our lawyer attend. Now the administrator will not give us the official minutes book, which we need to get the minutes registered. I have been told that we can’t proceed with a court case against him until the minutes have been registered. Can you advise? L S (Costa Blanca)

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is now important that you are clear about the person you wish to spend your time with because you may have more than one option. Plans that you started last week are now showing progress. Keeping the pace growing is essential to beat rivals. It is not an easy week by any means but it should not be boring.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A tendency to be emotional because of a setback should be avoided. When you feel the pressure rising, remember that nothing is worth risking your health for. Sound out friends and colleagues to avoid overreacting. It is a week when you realise how someone close is able to be a great help. The question is, can you accept it?
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There is sensitivity in your chart. It is possible to overlook someone who needs your time and consideration. You are not a mind-reader and they may not directly seek your help. Be aware, then, of how others are faring.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) When someone asks you this week where you are going, will you know the answer? You will make progress if you do. If you're not sure, then there is no point in going full steam ahead. This is a week to consider your options on all fronts, particularly in business.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A personal decision needs to be made. No major changes are necessary so long as you have a firm plan. It is not so much that caution is required, rather more that you should give yourself time to consider. In the longer term, you may see this week as a turning point. .
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a week of planning and making changes. Some things click into place and you realise that you are on your way to completing an ambition. The trick is to manage it without upsetting people on the home front.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Are you putting off a decision affecting others? This is a good time to take the bull by the horns. Keep an eye on finances involving younger people. Sometimes, you are better able to help in other ways, perhaps by giving encouragement or advice. .
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Your activities this week may seem to be ones best done alone. To a certain extent this is true. However, if you wish to make others feel important and gain their support in the future, you should involve them. You don't have to take advice which is given but be diplomatic when not acting on it. Hurt feelings can cost money.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Are you feeling less positive than usual? We all do at times. If energy is low get out for a long walk in a relaxing place. Perhaps watch a film that raises your spirits. There is about you a kind of regret and fondness for the past, but there is nothing wrong with sentimentality so long as it does not cloud your picture of the future. That can be bright indeed.
QUIZ: MUM’S THE WORD All the answers contain a silent letter 1.

What name is given to a legendary dwarfish creature supposed to guard the earth's treasures underground? 6. What name is usually given to a craftsman who installs and repairs pipes and fixtures and appliances?
7. Which commercial centre and river port in western Germany on the Rhine River shares its name with a perfumed liquid made of essential oils and alcohol? 8.

Which respiratory disease is characterised by inflammation of the lung parenchyma (excluding the bronchi) with congestion caused by viruses, bacteria or irritants?

National Service LEAPY LEE, I know you have no hankering to be a politician but I wish more of ‘them’ would display a modicum of your common sense and ‘bottle.’ I could find no fault with your recent ‘What If ’ manifesto; it was well thought out and presented, and only the socially inept could have found fault with any of it. Your most recent article in response to an ill-informed individual, with regards to the reintroduction of some form of National Service has inspired me to write to you. I am an ex-Infantryman who later became a firefighter and am proud to have voluntarily served both country and community. In the 1960s I was an indolent, disrespectful and troublesome inner city teenager with no ambition or direction in life. Any kind of jobs were scarce in my city and so I headed to the Army Recruiting Office one day... and it was one of the better decisions I have ever made in life. Your ignorant correspondent is totally wrong in thinking the Army churns out trained killers. It instills a sense of self discipline and absolute selfworth and confidence that lasts a lifetime. Perhaps it is people like your ‘ignorant correspondent’ who would have benefited most from a spell of National Service. But in closing let me point out that some European countries do have some form of National Service based on community service rather than military training. If only Mr Ignoramus had studied this subject a little deeper before writing to you. Chris Kelly

Who’s a prat? COMMENTING on the Spanish government’s plans to disinter and bury Franco’s remains elsewhere, reader Keith Wilkinson last week asked, “Would you support digging up a former head of state and dumping his body in an unmarked grave? That’s what these prats propose.” How does Mr Wilkinson feel about the way the reinstated Royalists dug up former head of state Oliver Cromwell in 1661, hung the corpse in chains and beheaded it for treason? Now they really were prats. Kind regards Lucy Harrison
HAVE YOUR SAY
OUR VIEW A thought for the firemen THIS year is turning into a disastrous year when it comes to forest fires, with more than 57,000 hectares burned in Spain so far. And we haven’t even reached the end of August yet. This is more than three times more than in the same period of 2018. As this leader is being written, 9,000 people on Gran Canaria have been evacuated while 500 firefighters do their utmost to save their homes and the beautiful forests of the island. Hundreds more have been forced out of their properties on the Costa del Sol where another fire rages. For these people it must be a truly horrifying time. While they may be safe - and the authorities are to be commended for having plans in place to deal with such natural disasters - the worry of not knowing if they will have a home to return to must be a heavy one indeed. Apart from the capricious whims of nature, the only hope many people have for their possessions - in many cases quite literally everything they own - is the skill, endurance and bravery of the emergency services. And dangerous work it is too. Over the years many firefighters have died when trapped by the flames by a sudden change of wind. Pilots of the firefighting planes are at high risk too as they bombard the flames with water. We send them all our thanks and our prayers too.
Now we want to hear your views.

Drink vendors in Benidorm Unfortunately I am very vocal and warn the buyers of these drinks of where and how they are made. Tell them, we r on a beach. Hi, where do u see these vendor’s station making these. No because there is nowhere on the beach probably just around the corner. These people look at me and immediately say overcrowded. Restaurant probably getting a cut back on these lethal drinks. All my friends stay safe, drink wisely.

The power of a dog or cat JORIS PLU THE power of cats and dogs to wards us human beings is enor mous! We can easily call them fan tastic counsellors with fur. No? They can, if you allow them, teach us so much about life in general. Each time I have spent time with an animal, any animal, I shake my head thinking to myself… these wonderful creatures can teach us humans so much about love, com passion, forgiveness. For instance dogs have special lis tening skills. Have a look at children and even adults how they ‘talk’ to dogs and how dogs just listen to them. Not judging. The power of lis tening, just being in the moment is extraordinary. Even between hu mans. Only we can talk back and we do most of the time. So dogs are
SWIMMING is one of the best forms of exercise. Swimming burns calories and can help a person to lose weight, as well as tone muscles and improve overall health and fitness. By engaging several different muscle groups and the cardiovascular system, swimming can provide an excellent workout for a wide variety of individuals, no matter what age you are. Here in Spain, access to swimming pools is good. If we do not have pools ourselves, the vast majority of municipal-
teaching us how to really listen. Little children sometimes talk for minutes with a dog or a cat. The cat most of the times runs away after a while. That is why they are called cats and not dogs. But back to the dogs and chil dren. Next time you see this hap pening, watch them closely. See what happens and feel the energy between them. We may use the word amazing since that is what it is. In some hospitals they use dogs just to be with patients. Let them sit on the bed or wheelchair. You see them interact, giving love and at tention. You see how patients start to smile, have their feel good hor mone working harder and harder. Just being happy. Dogs decrease levels of stress hormones, lower blood pressure and many more things. Petting a dog will do so much more to our body… and theirs.
column about dogs and cats? Be cause they have power! Look at them, talk to them, just be with them. Learn from them. Even if you are not so comfortable being very close to them, give yourself the chance to notice them longer then you ever did before in your life. Feel their power and put a big smile on your face since they pro long your life in a unique and good way. Let us be thankful for them liv ing with us on this planet. Life would be totally different without them. Maybe there would be no life without them. Love animals. All of them.
CATS AND DOGS: More than furry friends. It’s the same with cats, only slightly different. People love the way they purr. Some say it also re leases stress and even pain. Cats are more independent then dogs and that is why so many people just love them. They exist in a way they want to, in control of their own life. Some time ago a man told me he
did not know if he likes a cat more over a dog but he said he liked one thing and that was the lesson a cat gave him which was living a more independent life, following his own soul instead of following the crowd. For me this was a very nice way of defining a cat. Why did I want to write this small

Swim yourself fit ities have public pools and failing that there is always the sea for a swim.

cise, it is necessary to swim consistently for best results. Most people who want to get in or to stay in shape make an effort to do some form of training three to five times a week for 20 minutes or more per session. Suppose you can swim for 20 minutes, with generous breaks at each end of the pool. You should
plan on swimming for 30 minutes, then, so that your actual exercise time (as opposed to rest time) ends up around 20 minutes. To begin with, try to swim a minimum of three times a week, for about half an hour. Try swimming for as much of that time as you can, and count your lengths. You should be able to cover any-
where from 20 to 30 lengths, at least. If you are capable of doing more, you should be swimming for longer periods of time, perhaps 45 minutes or even an hour.
Try also to vary your strokes between front crawl, breast stroke and back stroke to ensure that virtually every single muscle group in your body is used. Advanced swimmers might even want to add a few laps of butterfly into their routine. One last point, lying on a lilo with a gin and tonic does not count as swimming!

CELEBRITIES
Boyzone’s Keith Duffy IRISH TV star George
McMahon married his part ner Rachel Smyth in an inti mate ceremony at a remote farmhouse near Nerja last Thursday. The ceremony took place in front of 80 of the cou ple’s friends and family, with 14monthold daugh ter Frankie acting as flower girl. The wedding was over seen by Boyzone star Keith Duffy, who is a long time friend of the couple after they grew to know each other whilst working on a project together.

Relax, we have you covered! HUNDREDS of thousands of expats own property in Spain and a large percentage of these are rented out either long or short term. Whether you are a seasonal or year long landlord there is great money to be made renting your property out whilst you are away! However there is a potential risk and worry when someone else is living in our home for permanently or for a few months. But now Liberty Seguros has improved its home insurance by developing some new measures to assure you can relax and rest assured that as a landlord here in Spain you are secure and protected. Nobody likes to consider the thought of our property being damaged, but unfortunately it does happen. So in the eventuality of any unfortunate event Liberty has introduced the following new benefits to further protect you from any accident liability or damage from a careless tenant. As the proprietor of a rented property Liberty Expatriates offers the following benefits: • Personal Liability of the owner against the tenant, for personal and / or material damages to the tenant, caused by ‘building’ or in case of securing the content, derived from the furniture of the property.
LANDLORDS: You are now more secure and protected. • Personal liability of the tenant against the owner as a result of a loss of water damage, with limits of €15,000 for the Basic mode and €30,000 for the Plus and Premium mode. • Damages arising from acts of vandalism committed by the legal tenants of the insured home are guaranteed, with a compensation limit per accident and year of €1,000, €1,500 and €2,000 respectively for the Basic,
Plus and Premium modalities. Fixed-rate fee equal to the rent deposit for the period of stay will be applied (min €300). • Legal defence and claims for damages, limited exclusively to claims related covered content that are owned by the policyholder. If your house is intended to be permanently rented, over the whole year, even by Airbnb, Liberty Seguros also adds the follow-
ing new benefits for extra peace of mind: • Loss of rentals, compensation of a monthly payment with a maximum limit of €1,000, €3,000 and €4,000 respectively for the Basic, Plus and Premium modalities. • Personal liability of the tenant against the Community, with a maximum limit of €50,000 per accident. With Liberty Seguros all documents can be provided to you in different languages so you know exactly where you stand and if not they are able to give you advice face to face through their local agents and you also have at your disposal a 24/7 emergency assistance, through a multilingual freephone number. Liberty Seguros is considered the preferred expat insurer in Spain today and has an extensive network of over 300 brokers and agents, who have many years of experience, and are dedicated to give you in-depth information about the different policies not only for home, but also car, life, business, commercial, funeral, etc, and advise you on the best cover to suit you and your family, in your own language.

Businesswoman opens her heart F O R M E R restaurateur, T V stylist and writer Lisa Burgess has revealed how she feels her life has come to a dead end after being diagnosed with cancer, and is calling on the public to help her rebuild her life. Here’s her story in her own words…. I hit rock bottom very recently. So low I couldn’t see a way out of my situation. I felt I was a burden to everyone. I found a lump under my arm last September, 2018. Thought nothing of it, but my partner Joffrey Charles insisted I see a doctor. I almost wished I hadn’t. I was immediately whisked to a radiologist who blurted out in unrecognisable words “you have THE cancer.” It wasn’t just one tumour but 15. I immediately had a 10-hour operation including a mastectomy. I was living in full blown denial zone. The only serious laugh I had was after my operation the surgeon prescribed me paracetamol. I was in agony so my retort was “if someone cut off your penis would you prescribe that?” I then got proper medication and all the care here in Spain has been top notch even with my minimum ‘palabras.’ M y partner and I owned a F rench restaurant in La Cala (Costa del Sol). Our journey was filmed by Channel 4 which

I want to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and be a success again. I don’t want to give up. I’m trying my very best.
NEWS UPDATE:
Lisa and her partner, Joffrey. aired February 2018. After my diagnosis we just couldn’t keep going. Joffrey had to care for me. After such sickness I couldn’t even crawl from my bed to the couch. I’ve had eight months of chemo and this week start radiotherapy. When Joffrey lost his job last week I felt I couldn’t take any more. People can be so utterly mean. That’s where Michel Euesden and the Euro Weekly News come in. I reached out for help. Michel got Joffrey a job interview
and suggested a crowd funding page and a cancer benefit which won’t just be for me but other sufferers. I’m a real person, in need of real help. I’ve €70 to my name and just more treatment and three operations ahead of me. I’ve worked my whole life, but because Joffrey lost his contract I can’t get any help. I’ve tried every road and it seems my life is a dead end. I’ve set up a crowd fund-
EWN is delighted to announce that Joffrey has been given a contract working as a chef and the Go Fund Me Page has exceeded all expectations, raising over half of the €10,000 goal in just 24 hours. This means Lisa will now be able to assist other people in the same position as herself. Huge congratulations, and well done to the community that keeps giving.

BARRY DUKE I F it’s true that you can judge a person’s character by his or her choice of music, I’d automatically be classified as a redneck - someone whose spouse weighs more than his tractor, and thinks the stock market has a fence around it. I’m nothing like that, but the contents of my S ony W alkman says otherwise. Mixed in with jazz, it contains a vast number of hillbilly songs by artists ranging from Dolly Parton and Willy Nelson to relative newcomer, Steve Grand, a gay Chicago singer, songwriter and model who, to my mind is the sexiest man on the planet. Now while it’s true that rednecks are generally as dumb as breeze blocks, country music is anything but stupid, with the exception of mawkish religious songs such as Johnny Cash’s B eing a C hristian isn’t for Sissies.
Redneck music is sexy and fun
STEVE GRAND: A sexy singer, songwriter and model from Chicago. Country has always been able to poke fun, not only at itself but also at serious stuff - including religion. T ake for example the satirical and very irreverent A ustin L ounge L izards.
Favourites of mine are Jesus Loves Me but He Cant Stand You and One True God. C ountry also contains a hell of a lot of contemporary social commentary. For example, given the rampant
paranoia currently surrounding transsexuals and transvestites, it was pretty brave of R odney C arrington to record Dancing with a Man. ‘I think I’m dancing with a man / She’s got callouses on
her hands / She’s got a voice deeper than mine / ‘She gets a stiffy when we grind / I think I’m dancing with a man.’ Raunchy songs, of course, go back decades and Cole Porter, a master of the suggestive lyric, raised the hackles of the BBC back in 1930 with his enduring Love for Sale. This was banned by the corporation for its ambiguity about prostitution: ‘If you want to buy my wares, follow me and climb the stairs...’ In 1937 George Formby’s W ith M y L ittle S tick of Blackpool Rock was only allowed to be played with certain sections removed. I n 1953 F rankie L aine’s Answer Me was condemned as ‘a sentimental mockery of C hristian prayer’ for the lines: ‘ A nswer me, L ord
above / Just what sin have I been guilty of? Tell me how I came to lose my love. Please answer me, oh, Lord.’ Sadly missing from my extensive collection of amusing and sexy songs spanning almost 100 years is an album called ‘ B en B agley’s C ole Porter Revisited Volume 1’ in which a variety of artists perform 14 little-known Porter numbers. I t was first released in 1964 and re-released as a C D in 1983. I lost it in my move to Spain in 2010 and I dearly would love to get a replacement. I found one on Amazon’s American site for a whopping $36.98, but I am loathe to buy anything from the US because import duties in Spain can almost double the cost of an item. There’s one too on Amazon’s UK site for £28.74. Also available on the site is Volume 3 of the series which would set me back £167.90! I f anyone out there has any or all of the Cole Porter Revisited series and is willing to part with them for around 20 quid each, I would be ever so grateful.

The Monaco Yacht Show
NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England ONE of the most recognised words in the world in any language is Monaco. A place, a principality, a casino, even a way of life. Reputed to be the playground of playboys and the super-rich. Monaco is a place of very serious business too. A place where the ‘Ultra High Net Worth Individual,’ as described by their bankers, and their families come to see superyachts, buy superyachts and be seen to be looking at superyachts. Of course those who are only seriously wealthy will also come to Monaco during superyacht week of September from the 25th to the 28th this year when the Monaco Yacht Show will be doing a roaring business in the principality. Alongside buying and selling superyachts [average cost is now €27 million to build] there is a huge business in chartering them. Charter a superyacht by the week, month or even season. Weekly charter rates that can be as high as €500,000 per week or more, plus food, fuel, beverages and not forgetting tips for the crews. It really is a good idea to check things out indepth before you make your pick for that seaside holiday. The Monaco Yacht Show is where you can select your yacht to charter, your shipyard to build your yacht as well as meet the team that will design it with you. This year as in the recent past sustainability is the hot topic with shipyards and the wider industry developing solutions to reduce their carbon footprint. Hybrid engines and an emerging de-

fit again is no bad impulse. Superyachts are not at all like most other vessels of comparable size. For one thing they usually average just 300 hours of operations at sea per year. Superyachts only very rarely sail at the maximum speed that they are capable of, preferring to cruise at speeds that offer maximum comfort rather than speed. The Monaco Yacht Show is full, it cannot get any bigger, yet does seem to dominate the principality of Monaco for the week. The Monaco Yacht Show’s focus is to offer select visitors and the industry the ideal venue to meet and discuss their interests. Interests which include environmental issues as well as classic cars and submarines not only superyachts to explore the oceans of the world. Nick Horne, London, England

Enjoy the Third Age
DANCE GROUPS: Just one of the many activities on offer.
M A N Y people who come to live in Spain come here to retire, whether it is people who are lucky enough to take early retirement or those who qualify for their pensions. But for many, the novelty of lazing in the sun and sipping a cocktail around the pool, soon wears off and they want to do something. A solution may be to join a branch of the U3A. T he U 3 A , which stands for University of the Third Age, is an organisation set up to encourage lifelong learning. The third age being retirement. The first being childhood and the second, work. Generally, the rule of thumb is that membership is open to anyone who is no longer in full-time employment, though some clubs have imposed addi-
tional age restrictions. To achieve such learning, the organisation tends towards informality and often relies on the expertise of its members to pass on their knowledge, skill and expertise of any given subject. Inevitably, when you get groups of like-minded people, all of a similar age then a social scene evolves, whether that be the formal functions with entertainment provided or just groups of friends who share a particular hobby or interest getting together. For many who have moved to a new country leaving friends and relatives far behind, the friendship this organisation can bring is often invaluable in helping people adjust and to learn about their new country. The organisation will
normally have monthly meetings with guest speakers and will normally have a travel section, organising trips to local attractions and possibly short breaks and holidays further afield. The organisations will also tend to be informative both informally and formally as to the latest legal and administrative challenges expats face while living in S pain and have a support network for those in need. The range of leisure activities are only limited by having enough people in a branch interested in forming any particular group, but inevitably there will normally be language groups, particularly for members to learn Spanish. There will often be walking groups of varying degrees of difficulty; there
will sometimes be more sedentary pursuits such as Bridge Clubs, Canasta, and chess; there may be the opportunity to study philosophy or the history of art; there may be sporting groups like badminton, cycling or bowls and there will often be musical groups including choirs, dance groups and the opportunity to learn to play instruments. The list is rather exhaustive. T hroughout the region, that we, at Euro Weekly News cover, there are U3A branches from the Costa B lanca N orth, right down the coast to the Costa del Sol and even on the Balearic Island of Mallorca. If you do a search online, then you can discover your local club and the contact details.

MOTORING FACT THE Subaru Outback is now in its 25th year. Originally released in 1995, this crossover vehicle combines SUV and passenger car attributes and this year enters its sixth-generation. Throughout its history, the Outback has offered core values such as safety, comfort, versatility and quality, with its own unique character. The new Outback has evolved once again by adding the latest technologies on top of the traditional Outback attributes. The all-new Outback is powered by either a 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer engine delivering strong torque output from low RPM or a 2.5-litre normallyaspirated Boxer engine with improved efficiency thanks to direct injection system. Combined with the new engine is the Subaru Global Platform which optimises the body rigidity, and Outback’s reputable dynamic performance, which has been further enhanced as a result. In addition, Subaru’s exclusive EyeSight driver assist system comes standard in all trims and is now equipped with the Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control including new Lane Centring

New Corvette Stingray CHEVROLET has announced the details of the new S tingray, the brand’s first-ever production mid-engine Corvette. T he new mid-engine layout gives the new Stingray: • B etter weight distribution, with the rear weight bias enhancing performance in a straight line. • B etter responsiveness and sense of control due to driver positioning closer to the front axle, almost on top of the front wheels. • The fastest 0-60 mph time of any entry C orvette, approximately three seconds when equipped with the Z51 package. • A racecar-like view of the road due to lower positioning of the hood, instrument panel and steering wheel. • An enhancement of Corvette’s traditional utility strengths, with dual trunks for a total of 357 litres of cargo volume, ideal for luggage or two sets of golf clubs. A supercar level of craftsmanship, premium materials and attention to detail were critical in designing every component of the Stingray. The new location of the engine is truly the focal point for the car’s design. It’s the heart of this next-generation Corvette and it sits like a jewel in a showcase, visible through the large rear hatch window. Corvette’s structure is built around its backbone: the centre tunnel. This enables a light, stiff structure to serve as the foun-
function, in combination with a driver monitoring system. The Outback looks tough and active. For the interior, an updated infotainment system featuring 11.6-inch tablet style large screen adds advanced functions to the already high-quality interior of the flagship model.
dation for the suspension system to perform in an optimised manner. By removing unwanted body compliance, Corvette customers will experience the ultimate in ride performance with outstanding lateral grip capabilities. The car has a solid, connected-to-the-road feel with minimal vibrations at high speeds or on long road trips. The new Stingray features coil over dampers that create entirely new ride and handling characteristics. The mid-engine architecture allows for a short, straight and stiff steering system, coupled with an updated electronic steering system, making the driver’s chassis input instantaneous. The new Stingray’s heart is Chevy’s next-generation 6.2l Small Block V-8 LT2 engine, the only naturally aspirated V-8 in the segment. I t will produce 495 horsepower (369 kW) and 637 Nm (470 lb-ft ) of torque when equipped with performance exhaust. Driver mode choices have been expanded from four to six, allowing drivers to tweak the feel of their Corvettes to their personal preference. T he U S version of the new C hevrolet Corvette Stingray goes into production in late 2019. Additional pricing and packaging as well as information regarding European versions (including R H D) will be released closer to their respective launches.

But the show goes on.... H
OT! indeed it was, when members of the CCCA gathered ready to enjoy their August classic car run. This one ably organised by Trevor Naylor, Martin Hall and Gwen Howe only a week or so ago when temperatures were, again, very high. The turnout was exceptional. Considering it is August, many people are away and, quite frankly, coming out to explore the Andalucian countryside in these conditions is not for everyone. So the 50 or so members that did show are obviously a hardy bunch and also appreciate the enormous amount of work that goes in to preparing and organising these very special events. This is also one of those times when bringing out a nonclassic car is not frowned upon as regular classics rarely have such essentials as air conditioning. It’s also the one time in this beautiful sun-soaked part of the world when one would prefer to have a convertible roof up and closed to protect from the blistering sun. It’s amazing how easy it is to succumb to a nasty bout of sunstroke in this weather however used to it one may be. Unfortunately, a couple of people braved these unforgiving elements and did so get clobbered with sickness from too much exposure to the extreme heat and suns rays. Other than feeling very ill, the bigger penalty was missing the excellent lunch afterwards at Restaurante Palma Nova! The event started from Venta El Gloria, near La Fresnada to the north west of Malaga and not far from Almogia and the lake there. Whilst crews

enjoyed the traditional coffee and bacon sarnis, Carol Giles, Jane Jackson and Marilyn Macpherson made short work of the registration and signingon process and all were ready for a briefing from El Presidente just after 11.00am. The organisers set off around five minutes before the briefing to give themselves time to get ahead of the field. Why would they do that you may ask? Very important, they needed to get to the pre-determined Cava stop, erect a gazebo for shade, and start preparing to dispense refreshments ! As with all CCCA events, navigation is done by Tulip Roadbook. This amazing, simple system was developed for the International Tulip Rallies in Holland in the late 1950s and is a kind of international ‘standard’ now as it needs no words or language and really is
very easy to use. However, occasional mistakes are made which can result in a gaggle of cars following one car that has gone wrong. The golden rule preached regularly by organisers is ‘If you go wrong, don’t follow someone else, he may be lost too!’ It happens, and a few cars got caught out as the route headed from north, just below Almogia, to go east and skirt the lake. Amusingly, if the correct ‘slot’ or turn-off was missed, cars would still arrive at the Cava stop but from the wrong direction causing great mirth and bewilderment! Organisers can be so cruel ! After the first Cava halt the route went over the picturesque Roman bridge to come up through Almogia and head for the Torcal and La Joya. Here there was a long,

Unexpectedly, the Mercedes E-Class convertible of this writer boiled its rather old brake fluid about half way down, and suffered complete brake failure. This wasn’t mentioned to the two relaxed lady passengers so as not to frighten them, but one of them did notice the vigorous pumping of the brake pedal but assumed it was something to do with the driving technique! Fortunately there was a coffee stop at Venta Los Caballos, not far from the foot of the mountain, where both crews and cars could cool down somewhat.
From the coffee stop the route came back via Guadalhorce, along the new section of the A-355 towards Mijas before turning down the A-7053 towards Entrerrios and along the Mijas Golf road, passing the sad sight of a closed-down Hotel Tamisa Golf, scene of many a superb CCCA party or summer ball. The end of an era for many here on the coast. One wonders what will happen to the place now? The finish of the event was at the Restaurante Palma Nova on the edge of Mijas Golf course. A super view and ambience and then, in true CCCA style, live music and dancing had been arranged making for something of a great party. Dining and dancing in that heat, almost 40 degrees. Only the CCCA could pull that off on a hot, very hot, Satur-
day afternoon! In September the Club celebrates 11 years of fun and classic cars, wining, dining and motoring. What could be more fun when living in this paradise by the sea?

FOR the first time in 10 years Barcelona - missing the injured Lionel Messi - did not win their first match of the season. Barcelona’s 2019-20 La Liga campaign, and their quest for a third straight domestic title, began with a 1-0 loss away to Athletic Bilbao. The match result came down to a goal from 38-year-old Aritz Aduriz who connected with a spectacular bicycle kick from 14 yards out to snatch an unexpected win. Real Madrid on the other hand won comfortably 1-3 despite playing for 40 minutes with just 10 men after Luka Modric saw red. Goals from Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Lucas Vasquez were enough to overcome Celta Vigo. Gareth Bale started and played for 75 minutes. Celta Vigo enjoyed the majority of possession, but could not cope with the quality in the Madrid team. Valencia had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad after Kevin Gameiro
SCORED: Morata grabbed the win for Atletico.
missed a penalty that would have put them 2-0 up. To make matters worse Mikel Oyarzabal made no mistake when Sociedad were themselves awarded a spot kick in the last minute of the game. Valencia now play Celta Vigo while Sociedad head to Mallorca. Game of the weekend was the eightgoal thriller between Villareal and Granada. The 4-4 draw proved to be
the most entertaining game on Saturday. Santi Carzorla - looking fresh and fit - opened the scoring with a penalty on 35 minutes. Atletico Madrid striker Álvaro Morata scored a goal and missed a penalty, but it was enough for Atletico to take all three points at home to Getafe on Sunday. Morata nodded home a cross from England defender Kieran Trippier in the 23rd minute. Getafe’s Jorge Molina was shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge in the 38th minute, but just four minutes later debutant left back Renan Lodi earned two yellow cards in the space of 60 seconds. Atletico’s João Félix thrilled the crowd with a superb run in the second half which led to him winning a penalty but Morata’s spot-kick was saved. Elsewhere, Sevilla beat Espanyol 2-0, while Real Betis were surprisingly beaten at home by Real Valladolid 2-1.
Spain takes Rugby silver SPAIN’S Rugby Sevens youngsters have taken silver in the hard-fought European Championship. The Under-18s squad can look back on an excellent tournament where they beat five teams including Georgia, P ortugal and G ermany only to fall at the final hurdle, losing the final to Ireland 26-12. I t means they have improved on last year’s finish of third in the European C hampionship, and leaves the coaches satisfied with the progress being made by the young players. H aving been together as a squad for a while now, these youngsters have
been able to blend in and trust each other as true veterans. In the final, the Spanish players gave everything they had left in the tank and at times were on top of a very good Irish team. In fact, they went into the break 712 up, which was a fair reflection of the play. But Spain had no answer when I reland upped their game in the second half. The Irish deployed all their attacking potential, skilfully creating holes in the Spanish defence and scoring three unanswered tries to take the crown.

I T may have been billed as an exhibition match, but there was a lot on the line when S pain took on the world number one ranked nation at basketball. With just two weeks to go before the FIBA World Cup it was an opportunity for Spain to see just how far they are behind the USA, who reign supreme in the sport. T he U S A team included some of the N B A’s better young players and showed plenty of determination, good ball movement and excellent defence as they beat Spain 90-81. But although it was a loss, S pain did gain the respect of their opponents. USA coach G regg Popovich said: “I thought the Spanish team was just astounding with all the offence that they ran the way they execute. The way they read each other, you can really see the experience. We hope to get close to something

Taking on the best
EXHIBITION: Spain took on the USA.
Will he or won’t he? Alonso stays mum WE are still waiting for it to be officially confirmed that Fernando Alonso will compete in the 2020 Dakar rally. But strangely enough we now know who his co-driver will be. W hile A lonso’s drive is probably the world’s worst kept secret, the identity of his co-driver is a surprise. Marc Coma is taking the second seat. He is no stranger to the event having won the motorcycle category no less than five times in 2006, 2009, 2011, 2014 and 2015. Just after his last triumph, he decided to stop competing and become part of the organisation of the event, helping in the design of the route. Since the beginning of this year he has also been general manager of KTM in Spain. But according to France TV, Coma has already had some preparatory sessions during the summer with Toyota. So, the official confirmation that Fernando Alonso will be in Saudi Arabia for the Dakar 2020 seems just around the corner. If he does take the seat, Alonso will be Toyota’s third official driver, sharing the team with 2009 champion Giniel De Villiers and Nasser Al-Attiyah, winner of the 2011 Dakar with Volkswagen, 2015 with Mini and
like that offensively. And it’s going to be difficult in this short time. But it was a great example for us to see that.” It was the defence and rebounding that overcame the small hiccups in the Americans’ play. The U S A never trailed after taking a 10-8 lead with six minutes, 47 seconds left in the 10-minute first quarter, but that doesn’t mean it was easy after that point. Although the Americans were up by double digits for most of the game, Spain did pull back to within eight a couple of times. Marc Gasol and Ricky Rubio, two of the handful of NBA players in the Spanish squad, led their team in scoring with 19 and 16 points, respectively. T he final S panish push came when Sergio Llull (11 points, six assists) sank a three-pointer to trim the US advantage to 80-72 with 4:13 left in the game but the USA soon struck back to ensure they finished on top.
VICTORY: Real Madrid get off to a perfect start, despite Hazard’s injury.
Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard out of La Liga opener DRIVING FORCE: Alonso is highly rated by Toyota. 2019 with Toyota. In addition, the Toyota team could become even more Spanish, as for the past week there has been talk of the possibility of Alex Haro, Nani Roma’s current co-driver, joining the Japanese team. At first it seemed that he could be Fernando Alonso’s own co-driver, but it seems that Toyota prefers to put Haro alongside another expert like De Villiers.
REAL MADRID’S season has taken an early blow as star signing Eden H azard was ruled out of the season opener due to a thigh injury sustained in Friday’s training session. He missed the first game of the season against Celta Vigo with an injury to his anterior tendon in his left thigh, but it is not known how long the Belgian will be out for. Hazard, aged 28, joined R eal M adrid in J une from C helsea for a club record
€100 million in what has been a record-breaking off season for the club who have spent more than €300 million on new recruits. R eal M adrid kicked off their new campaign three players down after fellow winger Marco Asensio was sidelined due to a serious knee injury and Dani Carvajal was suspended. The depleted team however did not look to struggle against Vigo with a convincing away 3-1 victory. W elshman G areth B ale
proved he was still a force to be reckoned with after a surprise call up from manager Zinedine Zidane. Karim B enzema opened the scoring after 12 minutes, T oni Kroos landed a spectacular long range second and L ucas V azquez sealed the victory in the 80th minute after a flawless team play. Z idane’s team will now seek to increase their early advantage in the championship as they take on Real Valladolid.
