BLAZE: Fire took two days to bring under control.
By Dilip Kuner A FIRE that raged across the Estepona countryside was brought under control yesterday, but not before hundreds of people were evacuated. As the sun rose yesterday morning efforts were redoubled with 170 firefighters on the ground joined by four fire engines plus 10 helicopters and planes. The blaze started at just before noon on Monday in the PeĂąas Blancas area of the municipality and rapidly spread in the hot, dry conditions. Sources say 144 people spent Monday night in the sports hall of El Carmen, Estepona, after being evacuated as a precautionary measure. Emergency services ordered the evacuation of 42 homes in the areas of the River PadrĂłn and Tejilla and about 150 prop-
Hundreds evacuated in Estepona fire erties in the Forest Hill and Alberdina-Las Abejeras urbanisations. Initially it had been feared the Puente Romano urbanisation, Loma del Monte and the Selwo Safari theme park might have to be cleared too, but in the end it was decided it was not necessary.
In total 240 forest firefighters and 22 air assets worked in shifts to contain the fire. By yesterday morning the fire was controlled and some residents were allowed to return to their homes, but at time of going to press there were still 150 firefighters and four aircraft damping down and on their guard
against the flames flaring up again. A Frenchman resident in the area has been accused of negligently starting the fire when he tried to destroy a wasps nest. He was arrested and has since been released by Estepona court on unconditional bail. Sources say he is a long-time resident.

British boy, 13, dies after six floor fall By By Dilip Kuner TRAGEDY has struck in the Costa del Sol resort town of Fuengirola where a 13-yearold British boy has fallen six floors to his death. Lucas Briscoe died at about 1.30pm on Tuesday according to emergency services. He is thought to have accidentally fallen from a terrace in Calle Alberto Morgenstern.

First death in Listeria outbreak SIX people have been hospitalised in Malaga during a fatal Listeria outbreak. A 90-year-old woman has become the first fatal victim of the outbreak that started in Sevilla. Health authorities have confirmed that she died in hospital after being
admitted with food poisoning. Since August 15 there have been 114 confirmed cases of Listeria poisoning contracted from La Mechá branded ‘carne mechada’ preserved meat. At the moment 53 of the victims are in hospital, the vast majority in
Sevilla. Of these, 18 are pregnant women. There are two patients in intensive care compared to five on Monday, and two newborns. By province, 35 of the hospitalised patients are in Sevilla, seven in Huelva, five in Cadiz and six in Malaga. Health inspectors traced the out-
break to the La Mechá brand and are now analysing other products made by brand owner Magrudis. People are warned not to consume the La Mechá branded carne mechada. Listeria is particularly dangerous for the elderly, pregnant women and very young.

47 EUROPEAN 50 FINANCE 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.

Punched boyfriend A WOMAN celebrating her first anniversary with her boyfriend ended up in a police cell after she punched him for ‘looking at another woman.’ Local Police called to Calle Natalia, Malaga, by neighbours disturbed by the noise of quarrelling found the couple still arguing. The man was sporting a bleeding lip and had a reddened face, so police asked his 23-year-old girlfriend what had happened. She admitted that she had argued with her partner ‘because he was looking at other women,’ which caused her to become ‘very jealous’ and she ended up punching her boyfriend. She was arrested for a crime of violence within the family environment and taken to the police station. Earlier this month, another woman, aged 40, was arrested in Estepona for setting fire to her ex-partner’s car when it was parked on the public road, allegedly in a fit of jealousy

Girl trapped in pool A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl was left trapped for two hours after s h e g o t h er a rm tra ppe d in a swimming pool pump pipe on the Costa del Sol. Zara Clarkson had her arm trapped in a water inlet and had to keep her head above water while firefighters in the resort town of Estepona smashed th ro u g h th e p o o l’s conc re te wall to free her. Her father Zack held her and stayed ‘cheek to cheek’ with her as he kept her calm while the rescue work continued. Zack and Zara were enjoying their first family holiday together at the villa with mum Claire, 42 and Zaras’s twin sister Lucy after buying the property at Christmas.

Grand opening NEW YEAR’S EVE has been set as the final date for Estepona’s new High Resolution Hospital to open its doors - a full year after construction was completed. Although the last brick was laid last December, the doors have remained firmly shut as no funding was available to equip and staff it. Now Junta de Andalucia regional government representative Elias Bendodo, has pledged to have the hospital equipped and running by the year end. He has also said that the tendering process for buying equipment is now under way. He added that the decision of Estepona town council to build the hospital, even though there was no budget for equipping and staffing it from the Junta, had been the correct one to take. It cost €15 million to build, with another €1.2 million spent since December on making a good a number of ‘deficiencies.’ Tenders worth €4 million are being negotiated.

Fuel spill in Malaga port PORT authorities in Malaga had to put into operation an anti-pollution plan when 8,000 litres of diesel spilled into the harbour while a ferry was being refuelled. A failure, possibly with a badly closed valve, in the fuel tanks of the ferry Sicilia de Baleària caused the spillage from the ship which operates between Malaga and Melilla. The incident was controlled thanks to the deployment of anti-pollution barriers. In addition, sources stressed that it was diesel and not fuel oil, which would have been more harmful. The deployment of these measures made it possible to control the leak and prevent it from leaving the Heredia inner dock. The fuel was removed with the help of skimmers.

Car ring smashed NATIONAL POLICE in Malaga have dismantled a gang dedicated to the theft of high-end vehicles in Germany. Eleven cars valued at more than €1 million have been recovered and three people of Danish, US and Spanish nationality arrested in ‘Operation Turbo.’ They are accused of misappropriation, fraud and theft. According to police, this group set up a luxury car rental company which ‘leased’ the vehicles though other companies. These would later declare bankruptcy but not return the cars to their actual owners. In a first phase of the investigation the National Police located in Marbella two cars reported as stolen and valued at €133,800 and €120,000 and, after analysis of the documentation involved, the officers realised the cars were being rented out through social networks. Following a digital trail they recovered a total of 11 cars, fraudulently obtained.

MANUELA CARMENA, former mayor of Madrid, dismissed as ‘frivolous’ suggestions that she could be a minister in a future Pedro Sanchez government. Carmena’s Mas Madrid was the most-voted party in the May 26 municipal elections although city hall is now controlled by a Partido Popular-Ciudadanos-Vox alliance. “Nobody has offered anything,” said Carmena.
Personal opinion ANNOUNCING Madrid’s candidates for the April 28 general elections, Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera said Spain was lucky to have people like Marcos de Quinto. Number Two on Ciudadanos’ list for Madrid recently criticised ‘the pious Leftist theocracy’ for saving well-fed Open Arms passengers while forgetting the starving in Venezuela. Responding to the criticism from all sides, De Quinto replied that these were personal tweets. “If people don’t like them they needn’t read them,” he argued.

Catalan elections not ruled out GUILTY verdicts for Catalan separatists facing charges that include rebellion and misappropriation of public funds could trigger an early regional election. Oriol Junqueras, president of the Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) party, has been imprisoned on remand since November 2017 following the regional parliament’s unilateral declaration of independence of October 27. This came to nothing and the PDeCat leader and former regional president Carles Puigdemont fled Spain two days later, followed by other members of the regional government. Twelve who remained stood trial earlier this year and await verdicts due to arrive after the summer break. “Calling elections is an option that cannot be rejected,” Junqueras told a radio interviewer. The other pro-independence party PDeCat is unconvinced, especially its leader Carles Puigdemont who now lives in Waterloo (Belgium). With ERC overtaking Puigdemont’s party in the last general elections and continuing to rise in the polls, the former regional president considers this would result in his PDeCat successor and protégé - Quim Torra heading a weakened acting government. Equally important, but unspoken, is the likelihood of an ERC overall majority that would weaken Puigdemont’s own grip.

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 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-

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.

Almeria celebrates ‘best days of the year’ “THE best days of the year in the best city in the world,” was how Almeria mayor Ramon Fernandez-Pacheco described this week’s festival in the provincial capital. The mayor promised the nine days of festivities in honour of the Virgen of the Sea would be “better than last year and worse than next.” Fernandez-Pacheco seemed unconcerned this year’s annual bash coincides with the Malaga City festival. “We have our own festival model,” he said in reference to the potential impact on visitor
numbers. “It is different from other Andalucian festivals, and that’s what makes it special.” The mayor boasted Almeria “is a city which increasingly more people like, where everyone is welcome, and has the opportunity to share and enjoy.” He also praised locals for being “the best ambassadors for our sun, our sea, our tapas and our way of living life.” The festival programme features exhibitions, workshops, painting competitions, rock and classical concerts, sports events, children’s entertain-
ment, food tastings, horseback parades, folk dancing and live bands. Among the highlights before the festival closes on Sunday with the Virgen of the Sea procession is tonight’s performance by rock band Marea and live music from Rozalen, Amaranoia, Morgan and Bely Basarte.

The alarm was triggered at 3.22pm on Saturday when the emergency telephone number 112 received several calls informing that a child had drowned on the beach. The beach lifeguard service had rescued the unconscious child and performed CPR until the arrival of the Medical Emergency System (SEM), which continued with the resuscitation manoeuvres. It was then the mother realised her husband
was also missing and a major search was launched, with a police helicopter landing on the beach. Police, a fire crew and Maritime Rescue took part in the search, a boat and a jet ski from the lifeguard service was also used. About an hour and a half later, a thermal camera picked out the body of a man about three metres deep in the sea. Police are investigating the sequence of events which led to the tragic deaths. It is not yet known if the boy got into trouble and the father tried to save him or if the man became unwell whilst in the water. The beach had a surveillance and lifeguard service at the time of the event and the green flag, which indicates calm conditions, had been flying. A psychological support team was brought in to care for the mother and other distressed people on the beach.

OBLIVIOUS: Girl’s drink is spiked.
A 90-YEAR-OLD woman has become the first fatal victim of a listeria outbreak that started in Sevilla. Health authorities have confirmed that she died in hospital after being admitted with food poisoning. Since August 15 there have been 114 confirmed cases of listeria poisoning contracted from La Mechá branded ‘carne mechada’ preserved meat. At the moment 53 of the victims are in hospital, the vast majority in Sevilla. Of these, 18 are pregnant women, three more than on Monday. There are two patients in intensive care compared to five on Monday, and two newborns. By province, 35 of the hospitalised patients are in Sevilla, seven in Huelva, five in Cadiz and six in Malaga. Health inspectors traced the outbreak to the La Mechá brand and are now analysing other products made by brand owner Magrudis.

Mid-flight nightmare ENGINEER Alan Wild’s flight to Tenerife was turned into a nightmare when a drunken passenger sparked panic after attempting to open the emergency exit mid-flight. Alan, 47, an engineer from Cheshire, reported his story to UK press after the drunken passenger boarded his flight. He told press he could “hear some commotion going on at the front door... basically this guy got on the plane and was hammered.” Although he was reportedly abusive and loud towards the airline staff he was still permitted to board the plane, much to the disbelief of the passengers. He sat down in the emer-
gency exit seat, and although told to move, he remained seated and the plane took off. Half an hour into the flight he vomited down himself and all over the aircraft floor. Fellow passengers saw he had drunk most of a bottle of whisky. Alan explained that he was terrified that the man would damage the emergency door next to where he was sitting, adding that “he sat there spitting on the floor and hanging off the emergency exit door. His arms were all over it.” According to Alan, the cabin crew seemed unfazed by the incident, claiming they have to deal with disruptive passengers all the time.
Brutal assault A 51-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested after he allegedly raped and brutally battered a young prostitute who refused to perform certain sexual practices. Police say the detained man went to a club in Logroño (La Rioja) to demand sexual services. When these were not forthcoming, he beat the victim, unknown to him, so severely her jaw was broken. To escape his assault the victim had to lock herself in the bathroom at which point the man left the premises.

400 evacuated from ferry By Dilip Kuner
SAVED: Pups faced a certain death.
Pups buried alive SIX German Shepherd puppies that had been buried alive have been rescued by the Guardia Civil in Teruel (Aragon). Acting on a tip off from a shocked neighbour officers of the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA) of the Guardia Civil de Alcañiz investigated and uncovered the puppies. Nearby, on the other side of a fence, they saw two adult dogs, one of which showed signs of recently having given birth. At the sight of the puppies she became very ag-
itated and showed signs of ‘euphoria,’ proving to the Guardia they were her pups. They passed the rescued puppies to her and she immediately started feeding them. The investigations have resulted in two people being handed over to the courts as alleged perpetrators of a crime against flora, fauna and domestic animals. The Guardia Civil has sent its thanks to the people who tipped them off, saying they saved the pups from certain death.
NEARLY 400 people have been evacuated from a ferry in Denia, Costa Blanca North, after it reportedly ran aground. The Spanish coastguard (Salvamento Maritimo) and Guardia Civil helped move passengers to safety after the Balearia ferry which had sailed from Mallorca and Ibiza reportedly hit a harbour wall then ran aground as it prepared to dock. The incident happened at 11.30pm last Friday with the rescue operation from the Pinar del Rio going on for two hours. Balearia said in a statement: “The fast ferry Pinar del Rio ran aground... by Denia’s harbour wall without any personal injury to

The Vox MP has accused Britain of ‘stealing’ a major Spanish military asset and argued that the UK is in breach of European law by not committing to negotiations to determine ownership after Brexit. In the rant, he said that Gibraltar is a military colony and its position makes it an ideal location for logistics, operations and intelligence in the protection of Spain, however he claims the UK government has stolen this valuable military asset and is ‘abusing’ the Spanish workers currently employed there. “Spanish workers are used as hostages by the Gibraltar gov-

none of the leading Spanish political parties have attempted to start negotiations regarding territorial ownership post Brexit.
THE endangered turtle dove will once again be hunted in Spain this year even after the European Commission has described Spain’s methods for preserving the species as inadequate. The Ministry for Ecological Transition (MITECO) has been notified by the European Commission that infringement procedures should be implemented amid the declining number of turtle doves in Spain. MITECO have put in place a partial ban from mid-August until the end of September during mating season, but the European Commission has deemed this a consolatory measure that will not restore the number of the species to where it needs to be. Professional hunters have estimated that somewhere between 500,000 and 800,000 turtle doves will be killed in the upcoming season. Some areas in Spain have denounced the fact that the turtle dove population is declining, others have chosen to accept the European Commission’s assessment and enforced a partial hunting ban. Asturias, the Canary Islands, Valencia and the Basque Country have all pledged to help repopulate the species in their autonomous communities. The SEO/Birdlife NGO has gained the support of 40,000 citizens all over Spain to help protect the turtle dove until it has adequately replenished its numbers.

Food waste pressure
EWN 27
CITY CRISIS: Fears for Barcelona’s security after another violent night.
STATISTICS: Spoiled or wasted food is responsible for between 8 and 10 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions. SPOILED or wasted food is responsible for between 8 and 10 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions and in Spain the statistics don’t look positive. In 2018, Spanish homes threw out nearly 1.4 billion kilos/litres of food. More than 84 per cent of products are deposited directly in the rubbish without even being cooked, a problem that is al-
so increasing pressure on climate, water, and land resources. Experts claim hot weather increases food waste, but waste also contributes to rising temperatures. Spain’s national strategy to combat food waste places special emphasis on consumer responsibility. But activists want the Spanish government to go a step further and intro-
duce a law against food waste at all levels of the supply and consumption chains. In 2015, France made the pioneering decision to ban large supermarkets (more than 400 square metres in surface area) from throwing out unsold, but edible food products. Instead of wasting the food, they have to donate it to charity or use it for compost.
Barcelona stabbings A 47-YEAR-OLD man has died in a street brawl in Barcelona amongst the bloodiest month the city has seen. The victim, who has not been named, was killed during a street fight at around 3am on Friday in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona. The man was killed after he received numerous stab wounds during the altercation which took place on Calle Vilapicina. He was treated by the Servei d’Emergències Mèdiques (SEM), however he was reported dead shortly before arriving at the hospital. This was the second recorded incident on
Friday night as a man was seriously injured in a robbery attempt at around 12pm on the intersection of Via Laietana with Sant Pere Més Baix. According to witnesses he was assaulted and stabbed by a number of men who attempted to steal his belongings. The Mossos d’Esquadra have revealed that although they have suspicions on the perpetrators of both events, they have not made any arrests as of yet. The latest bloody night in Barcelona has come after the City Council has admitted there is a ‘security crisis’ currently ongoing in the city.

Three dogs eaten by wolf A WOMAN in Galicia says that her three dogs, which were chained up in a yard, have been eaten by a wolf. The woman, named only as Estrella, said she and neighbours saw the predator prowling around the area of A Espiñeira, in the parish of Sistallo, in the municipality of Cospeito. Not thinking the animal would come so close, she didn’t think of bringing her pets in. It was only later that she made the sad discovery of three empty collars still at-
tached to the chains. A neighbour of Estrella, Ana María, said that her daughter saw the wolf one day at 7am. Their dog was loose, so was left unharmed. A nearby farmer in the rural region said he has lost three sheep to the wolf, which is said to be thin. Experts advise the best protection against wolves is to have a large mastiff-type dog which is big enough to see off a hungry wolf.
Donating blood in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. 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.

Be careful of watch thieves A WARNING has been sent out to watch out for muggers who are targeting people for their expensive watches in Spain. It seems to be a particular and recurring problem in the Balearic Islands where foreign gangs are known by police to return for the summer season in search of wealthy and unsuspecting tourists. The latest warning has come from a man who was targeted by thieves riding a moped in Palma. Speaking to the UK’s Mail Online the 44-year-old man who wishes to remain anonymous, described how a thief tried to remove a €25,000 Audemar Piguet watch from his wrist while he was queuing to pay in a shop after a trip to the beach.

THE Andalucian Campsite Federation has proposed that a restriction be put in place to prevent campers from staying at one campsite for longer
than six months. This request aimed at the government comes after several campers have pitched-up and made the camp their
home for long periods of the year, taking advantage of the holiday destination’s facilities and deals. The longer some campers stay, the more they
take the camp for granted according to one campsite owner near Maria in East Andalucia. The government has however previously stated that it wants to extend the length of time people are allowed in one place at tourist destinations as they would like to see Andalucia become popular all year round as opposed to just the summer or winter months. The case is different for campsites however as most long term campers - many of whom are retired Europeans like to be in their home countries during the summer months and camp in a warmer climate such as Spain’s during the winter.

Banished from Mallorca TWO Mallorcan criminals accused of multiple crimes including a string of thefts from a Magaluf beach have been banished from the island by a judge. The two men are both alleged to have long criminal records and were arrested by an offduty police officer when he recognised them in the Plaza del Mercadal in Sineu. Judge Antoni Rotger ordered the men to leave the island before 8pm on July 28, but the two men failed to comply with the judge’s decision and continued to live in Mallorca. The men were also issued with a fine of €5,400 for the alleged crime of breaching a judge’s order.
The lawyer representing the two men has argued that the measures are totally disproportionate and said that there are other options that could be used in order to prevent them from offending again. According to the lawyer, banishment from the island will hinder their personal and family life, and economic and work situation. He adds that the prosecutor has agreed with his reasoning and asks that the suspects be prohibited from being within 200 metres of Magaluf beach. Another court date is set for the end of August, when the accused men will hear the judge’s final ruling.

Fewer teens smoking SPAIN has one of the highest percentages of smokers in Europe. So much so that the French-Spanish state Andorra is the country with the highest cigarette consumption per year per person in the world according to a World Health Organisation survey. However, a recent study has shown teenagers are more than 18 per cent less likely to start smoking than they were 17 years ago. The study edited by Socidrogalcohol collected data from 51,046 test subjects from 2002 to 2018, all of whom were aged between 15 and 18. The study found that 26.5 per cent of this age group were smoking regularly in 2002, but by the time 2018 came around, only 8.7 per cent of the youngsters had started smoking on a regular basis.
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 write-off. 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 anti-theft device. Tips for safe, claims-free 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.

Limits on cash transactions STRICTER monetary controls may soon see 500 euro notes being ‘sold’ in the black market, for a lower sum in smaller
denomination. For example, a single ‘BinLaden’ (as they are unofficially called) could be sold for say 400 euros in 20- or
50-euro notes, in a transaction akin to ‘laundering’ money. This is already happening in exotic destinations such as the Dominican Republic or Cuba. The reason lies with the increasing levels of supervision that Spanish authorities wish to bring in to curb - if not altogether eliminate - illegal money, most of which is accumulated in easy-to-hide 500 euro notes and which may soon oblige the receiver to record details of payer with such note. Already, banks began withdrawing these notes as of January 2019. So far, cash payments have been limited in the following manners: • Up to 2,500 euros where one of the parties is acting as a trader or professional, and 15,000 euros if one of such
By Antonio Flores Abogado/Lawyer LLM (Essex) Reg. Nº 4712 I.C.A. Málaga parties is a non-tax resident. This limitation is not applicable to payments to banks or similar institutions (it is worth noting that the CBE - Central Bank of Europe - found ‘disproportionate’ the new limit of 1,000 euros in cash that the Spanish Tax Office has vowed to implement). • Up to 100,000 euros if travelling within Spain and
10,000 euros if entering or departing the country, without notifying the authorities. There is no limit as to how much cash you can pay in or withdraw from a bank account. But if those sums are suspicious or the purpose cannot be reasonably demonstrated, the bank may refuse to take or pay cash and if they accept it, will notify the Tax Office
(AEAT). As a rule of thumb, cash payments of over 3,000 euros are notified to the AEAT. Likewise, there isn’t a limit to the amount of cash any person can have in his/ her home, so long as the source can be explained if questioned by tax authorities or regulators. The inconvenience with withdrawing the cash and keeping it at home - besides an obvious security issue - is that, if at any future point in time this person wishes to return it to the bank, the authorities may not deem it to be the same and tax it, or even worse, initiate an investigation into money laundering in as much as the source of this payment is no longer evident (and as happens, cash is ‘fungible’ ie interchangeable).

No to gender violence EXTREME right-wing group Vox was the only party to oppose a council plan against gender violence. This month’s plenary session at the town hall approved by a large majority a United Left (IU) motion that such a plan be drafted in consultation with feminist organisations within three months. The motion went through
despite the intervention and vote against by the two Vox councillors out of the 25 elected in the last municipal elections. Gema Carrillo (Vox) said that the arguments used made no reference to violence perpetrated by women on men and that such policies trivialise terrorism by comparing it to gender violence.
Streets improve WORK has been continuing in the summer to improve streets in Arroyo de la Miel. The councillor for Operational Services, Salvador Rodriguez, has reported on the progress of the ‘improvement plan’ brought in since the elections earlier this year. He said: “On this occasion we are working in Calle Chester and Calle Monóvar in Arroyo de la Miel. We have removed the kerbs around the cork oak trees in both streets, as they were very deteriorated and were an obstacle to pedestrians. “In addition, this action will contribute to the cleanliness of the streets, as it avoids the build up of rubbish and dry leaves.”
Feminist groups later criticised Vox after it called them ‘feminazis’ in a social media account of the meeting. They said that Vox themselves compared their entry into the Andalucian Parliament with the Blue Division, which they say is a reference to a Francoist Spanish unit that fought for Germany in the Second World War.
Essential work THIS week’s fire in Estepona has highlighted the importance of the work Benalmadena Council did earlier this month in clearing scrub and brush from danger spots in the municipality. Town mayor Victor Navas, councillor of Security Javier Marín, and the town’s Fire Department head David Bañasco toured some of the areas where work was being carried out. The mayor explained: “They are cleaning and clearing the hot spots of the municipality, which are those at the greatest risk of fire, such as stream beds and municipal and private plots.” He added that the cost of clearing private land will be billed to the owners. Initial work focused on the Pantano and Lagar streams, and on plots at La Viñuela and Carambuco.

Appy days are here Credit: Malaga.es
THE Sohail Castle is an obvious sign of Fuengirola’s past, but a second historical site is less wellknown. There is in fact a Roman villa in the town known as the Finca del Secretario, which tends to be pretty much off the beaten track. Now the town hall has decided to do something about this by launching an audio guide in the form of a mobile app. Town mayor Ana Mula, presented the app on Monday, saying that it is aimed at improving the experience of visiting different historic parts of the town. She said: “This is a free app that can be downloaded both on Android and for IOS and allows access to useful information and the history of these sites in a fun and convenient way.”
Dog beach plan
HISTORIC: The Finca del Secretario in Los Boliches. To download the app people can search in the google and Apple stores or scan a QR code printed on posters near the archaeological sites. The app will give information,
free of charge in both English and Spanish. The project has cost €13,409, funded through a grant from the Ministry of Culture of the Junta de Andalucia.
DOGS deserve to enjoy the seaside just as much as their two-legged owners. That is the message from Ana Mula, ma yor of Fue n gi r ol a who has announced the town’s ‘dog beach’ is to be made bigger. She declared on a visit to the beach just beneath the town’s castle that the local council will start administrative proceedings to formally request permission to extend the limits where dogs are allowed. Currently, the canine-friendly beach is restricted to 2,000 sqm along a 68.2 metre length of coast. The plan is to make that 3,000 sqm along 83 metres. Mula said: “We were pioneers in
having a canine beach and now we want it to be the largest. It is true that we have been left with a small beach and that users and animal lovers want more.” She noted that the town has seven kilometres of beaches which are ‘perfectly compatible’ with being used by pets. Now the town hall will ask the Junta de Andalucia regional government and then the Ministry of Health for permission. The council takes the dog beach seriously. Not only is it fenced off with litter bins, but showers have been installed so dogs can cool off after a day on the beach.
Avoiding floods THE town’s river and stream beds are being cleared to prevent flooding in the rainy season. Nineteen town council workers have been working on 20 kilometres of water ways in the municipality as well as on clearing plots of potential fire risks. In addition, the council has called on citizens not to leave used furniture or other objects on stream beds. The council offers a collection service for unwanted pieces of furniture and other large items.

An apple a day APPLES are a fruit you can eat all year round. In addition to being delicious, they are rich in nutrients that bring many benefits to the body and health in general. The main beneficial properties of apples are due to the high content of antioxidants and pectin in their composition. They fight the harmful effects of free radicals while stimulating the body’s natural detoxification process. In addition, apples provide a feeling of satiety. This makes them an excellent choice if you want to lose weight, but have trouble controlling their appetite. There are plenty of reasons why it is advisable to make an apple a daily guest at the table. In today’s article we will mention a few of them. 1. Apples are good for the heart. They contain many natural phytochemicals that
act as potent antioxidants. These ingredients neutralise the negative effects of free radical damage, which damage the cells and increase the risk of heart disease and cancer. In addition, the soluble fibre contained in the apple bark reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine and thus regulates the digestive process. 2. Apples eliminate the retained liquids. Due to the high content of potassium, apples are a natural diuretic that fights excess body fluids and a number of problems associated with them. People who suffer from inflammatory diseases or high blood pressure can reap the benefits of eating an apple a day. 3. Apples promote dental health. When you eat an apple a day, you stimulate the production of saliva in the mouth. This re-

Consuming apples cannot replace tooth brushing with toothbrush and paste, but it can be of great benefit. 4. Apples fight constipation and diarrhea. The presence of many insoluble fibre in the bark of apples speaks of their ability to stimulate bowel movements and
fight constipation. Apples contain a type of fibre known as pectin. It stimulates the optimal passage of food through the intestines and limits the amount of water lost in problems such as diarrhea. 5. Apples reduce the risk of diabetes. Soluble fibre in apples can lower the blood sugar level of patients who are at high risk of type 2 diabetes.

Taxes too high THE new President of the Junta de Andalucia Juan Manuel Moreno returned to Marbella soon after his first visit to discuss certain plans being considered by the national government to implement new toll charges. The meeting which included general secretary of the Partido Popular Teodoro García Egea and Mayor Ángeles Muñoz unanimously expressed their disagreement with the concept being discussed between the Ministry of Development and the Treasury. The concept is that whilst certain motorway tolls may be removed, other motorways may be subject to a new toll which could be between two and three cents per kilometre travelled. According to the president, the government owes Andalucia €4 billion and not only won’t pay that, but now wants to charge a national fee for travel on motorways built using taxes from the province. The general feeling that emerged from this meeting was that the current national government was raising too many taxes to the disadvantage of workers and the middle classes.

GibraltarNEWS Charity Cardboard Boat Race Grace 1 now back at sea.
Grace 1 seizure GIBRALTAR was thrust into the International spotlight when it made a decision to seize a Panamanian registered oil tanker Grace 1 which was suspected of transporting Iranian oil to Syria. The Iranians reacted predictably by calling the action piracy and then seized British vessels in the Straits of Hormuz. What could have become an extremely volatile situation appears to have been settled relatively amicably and quickly so that the vessel could be released as soon as the Iranians gave an undertaking that the oil would not be delivered to the Assad regime. The USA demanded that the Grace 1 be handed over to that country, but this demand was rejected as the seizure was made in respect of an EU sanction, however the tanker has now changed name to MV Adrian Darya and will be Iranian flagged.

Easier divorce laws introduced ALTHOUGH unanimously passed in the Gibraltar Parliament in July of this year, a Bill to amend the Matrimonial Causes Act 1962 was not confirmed until August 15. One of the key motives was to facilitate a more harmonious process of separation and reduce the stress that can be experienced by families and separating spouses. It was considered this is particularly important when children are involved and the parties should be focusing on co-parenting rather than acrimonious court proceedings. Note was also taken of the fact that in violent or abusive marriages, the victims previously had to wait for up to three years before a divorce was possible and had to appear in court. The minimum period of marriage required prior to the commencement of divorce proceedings is reduced from three years to one year and the requirement for a period of separation prior to divorce is also removed.

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.

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.

Changing society
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.
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.

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 cen-

Barcelona’s Sagrada Familía finally gets building permit
BUILDING PERMIT: After 137 years. tury, 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)
The minutes are property of the YOU AND THE community and the LAW IN SPAIN administrator is obliged to deliver them to the president. If your administrator is a member of the official College of Property Administrators of your province, you can report him to the College. Any single member can go to court if he feels that his interests are harmed. Your situation is complex and you need good legal advice.

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 Ba-
sic, 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 fol-

An Estate Agent with a real difference ALTHOUGH the basic rules of selling a property in Spain and the UK are not greatly dissimilar, there are some major differences which innovative new style agency 1MAST has recognised. Estate Agents in Spain tend to charge a much higher commission than their British counterparts and this has caught a number of potential sellers by surprise. 1MAST however believe that they are able to offer an absolutely top class and personised service to their sellers at the much reduced rate of as little as a negotiated 1 per cent of the sales price. The fact that the commission is low doesn’t mean that the service isn’t exc e p t i o n a l a n d t h e y o ff e r t o l o o k a f t e r their sellers from start to finish to ensure that they will be able to find a buyer prepared to pay the best price. The 1MAST service includes: 3D interactive video, professionally produced photographs, detailed flyers and where appropriate an open house. Although using new technology, those behind the agency have more than 20 years of experience in house sales and
1MAST: Ready to help you buy or sell. they believe that their sellers will earn more with them than with any other agency. Their offices are situated in Fuengirola and Marbella and they have more than 20,000 properties on their books which cover the whole of the Costa del Sol. Buyers know that they will have absolute best choice of both new develop-
ments as well as older properties on the market so if you are looking for an apartment, townhouse, villa or almost a n y o t h e r t y p e o f p r o p e r t y, m a k e s u r e that you contact your dedicated agent Katalin by calling or sending a WhatsApp message to 697 667 464 and she may even be able to advise on mortgages.
The offices are open Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 6.30pm and Saturday 11am to 1.30pm although the website www.1mast.com and Facebook: 1Mast Real Estate page never close. Buyers or sellers are always welcome to visit the 1MAST offices at Avenida de Los Boliches Nº 18 29640 Fuengirola and Avenida Arias Maldonado Nº 2, Edif El Molino 1º-5 29602 Marbella to discuss all of their needs and for sellers to agree for an accurate valuation to be undertaken.

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING CHARMAINE ARBOUIN is not just our British Consul to Andalucia, Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Isles, she’s also a mum who lives on the Costa del Sol. Understandably therefore she and the Embassy are wholeheartedly supporting this new campaign: Ask for Angela. Ask for Angela is a sexual harassment prevention campaign for anyone (male and female) who feels unsafe on a date or a night out. With this discreet code word ‘Angela’ staff at the venue can subtly support that person by getting them to a safe space without too much fuss. The aim of this campaign is to reduce sexual violence and vulnerability. Customers can just ask bar staff for, or mention ‘Angela’ if they feel uncomfortable with the company they came with and the staff will call a taxi or help this person leave discreetly. This campaign was launched in
22 - 28 August 2019
EWN 67
Ask for Angela 2016 in Lincolnshire in the UK and has grown from strength to strength across pubs, bars, clubs and restaurants as well as internationally in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Further enquiries to use this campaign have been made from Canada, Argentina and Germany and now, with the support of the British Consulate in Malaga, they are running a pilot this summer in Marbella to then evaluate and decide whether it be implemented on a wider scale throughout Andalucia. At the moment seven bars have been contacted to test the incentive, starting off in Puerto Banus area with The Hard Rock Café and six bars from the Lineker’s group. The posters are placed inside the toilet cubicles for discretion and it was quite cool to physically see one of them in the Bijou bar loo when I was there last week. By looking at the state of some of the ‘happy’ girls stumbling around the port I think this poster is also a much needed re-

minder that we all need to be careful and of course the best thing is to have someone ‘in-situ’ looking out for us if needs be. Of course it is vital that staff are aware of the campaign and fully understand what they are required to do, so the participating bars also received an additional poster outlining what staff should do if approached for help.
Bars also received a simple sticker to be displayed at the entrance indicating it is an ‘Angela’ friendly bar which is most useful in an age of online blind dating to be able to chose an establishment that is going to be there to help you out if you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, somewhere where you can ask for Angela.
PS. The Hard Rock Café and Linekers group are also #zerhero partners so chapó and congratulations to them for really being a part of and supporting our Marbella community - we are so much #BetterTogether PPS. Further details on this incentive in the interview with Charmaine Arbouin on Marbella now aired on July 30, 2019 (link http://rtvmarbel la.tv/television/marbella-now/30-dejulio/)

Prepare for next winter with Neater Heater SUMMER may seem an odd time to think about next wint e r, b u t i t m a k e s g o o d s e n s e . Especially to those expats who would like to use their Spanish holiday homes all year round, rather than just for the summer. We a l s o u r g e n e w o w n e r s , who have just moved to the S p a i n t h i s y e a r, t o c o n s i d e r their winter heating. All fuel costs are rising s t e a d i l y, w h e t h e r y o u c h o o s e Gas, Oil, or Electricity; it pays to make sure that whichever system you decide upon is efficient and economical. Remember: Efficient means it does the job, and economical means it is cheap to run. Many systems are one O R t h e o t h e r, b u t N e a t e r Heaters are both. Neater Heaters are made in
N o r w a y, w h e r e t h e y b e n e f i t from Scandinavian styling, and modern, state-of-the-art, design and materials. Whether wall-mounted or free-standing, you have the confidence that these heaters will be providing a more cost-effective efficient heat output than any of their rivals. Our Adax standard panel heater offers the customer a cheaper option to the stylish Beha heater, without compromising on the running efficiency and reliability that we have come to associate with Norwegian systems. Neater Heater can also offer the stylish Neo range for people with a more colourful outlook on life. At the moment the customer can choose to have their Neo heaters in one of four colours: White; black;
silver and red. “By offering the Adax range as well as the Beha range, we believe that we have all bases covered when it comes to electric convector heating,” explains Tony. “Customers can now browse our website, or visit one of our distributors, and select a heater that totally suits their circumstances, whether it is a stylish Beha or Neo heater or a more utilitarian, but cheape r, A d a x s t a n d a r d p a n e l heater.” A couple of years ago we a d d e d t o o u r r a n g e t h e Tu r k ish made Vigo heater and towel radiators. These heaters share the design technology and ethos of the current Neater Heaters, but it has two d i ff e r e n c e s : T h e Vi g o c o m e s
with a carrying handle, wall bracket, and feet included in the price. They also have a digital display that indicates the reduced wattage that the heater regulates once the room has reached the desired temperature, thus saving more money through reduced running costs. Buying now, in the summer, allows you the comfort of having plenty of time to investigate our heaters against a l l o t h e r s . We k n o w t h e o n e s you will probably choose, as we made the same choice ourselves many years ago.
HEATERS: Stylish and practical.

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 self-worth 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
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.

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.

Brilliant, we should do the same in the UK, then we would not have a housing shortage. Garry Nicholls
I might be too cynical, in addition to the obvious spiking of the girl’s drink, I would look at the guy with the beard near to the end of the video also, as his hand passes over the glass of someone he supposedly

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
Is someone trying to sidetrack you by casting doubt on a relationship or plan? Something is going on so make sure that you have all the facts. It would be gullible of you to take everything at face value. You have good supportive colleagues and may seek their advice. Be optimistic as the weekend comes and remember your sense of humour.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Showing confidence means others see you as being very much in control. They need to see that you can be trusted. If a plan is not going in the right direction, be prepared to change tack. Changes should not be made to financial plans until you are sure of your ground. Romantically, you are being admired.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) It is all go for you at the moment. Not only will you be particularly clear-thinking but your intellect will be sharp as a knife. Your enthusiasm spills over from your business life to personal matters, leading to a hectic and eventful time all week. When it comes to romance, a positive and dynamic approach stands you in good stead.
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)
Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk
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. .
Women’s wit
‘
I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves with collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me.” Sylvia Plath, poet
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.
HERBAL REMEDY: Cologne was thought to ward off the bad smells believed to cause the plague.
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. .
Famous quote
DID YOU KNOW?
‘
A journey is a person in itself, no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip, a trip takes us.” John Steinbeck, writer
COLOGNE was originally developed as protection against the plague. Herbs and flowers are bound together and placed inside the masks of plague doctors as most Europeans believed diseases were spread by bad smells. The bundles went on to be sold throughout Europe as a hygiene aid because bathing was thought to be dangerous. All this culminated in the development of Eau du Cologne from a recipe containing rosemary, citrus essences and grape-based spirits designed to ward off the Black Death.
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.

JORIS PLU THE power of cats and dogs towards us human beings is enormous! We can easily call them fantastic 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, compassion, forgiveness. For instance dogs have special listening 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 listening, just being in the moment is extraordinary. Even between humans. Only we can talk back and we do most of the time. So dogs are teaching us how to really listen. Little children sometimes talk for minutes with a dog or a cat.

The power of a dog or 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 children. Next time you see this happening, 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 attention. You see how patients start to smile, have their feel good hormone 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. It’s the same with cats, only slightly different. People love the way they purr. Some say it also releases 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 column about dogs and cats? Because 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 prolong your life in a unique and good way. Let us be thankful for them living 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.

5 reasons your knee isn’t getting better
BY ESTELLE MITCHELL WWW.THEBODYWORKSCLINIC.COM
EARLIER this month I had a gentleman come in complaining of long term (five + years!!) pain in his knee. He’d had two rounds of surgery on the knee with no improvement. During my assessment I found that he had an even longer history of lower back pain and hip pain. So rather than focus on his knee, we focused on his back, I taught him a couple of little tricks and. . . he walked out with no knee pain. Me, his wife, their friend, we were all in tears at the transformation. All that time, pain and surgery and no one had ever taken the time to listen to him or look at the connections. No one had ever done a thorough, clinical assessment. Pain comes limping in Knees and backs make a fantastic team - and they often pick up the slack for each other so they always have to be assessed together. When you have a painful knee you unconsciously change how you walk. You stop extending it fully and using all the muscles and flexibility in that leg. But you still have to

move forward. So your lower back ‘picks up’ the leg to help. Which means your back works harder than usual. Eventually, if your knee doesn’t return to ‘normal’ function your back continues working too hard. And starts to complain. And
complaining muscles feel sore. Put more ‘miles on the clock’ and it can start to complain. Which makes living the active life you came to Spain for, more uncomfortable. 5 steps to success If you’ve been having treatment with no improvement here are my five top reasons why:
• It’s not your knee - when you spoke to someone about your knee pain they never bothered to check all the joints attached to it - feet, ankles, hips, lower back. Problems in these areas can get referred to the knee. The best treatment in the world isn’t going to help if it’s in the wrong place! • No one told you it needs to be straight We tend to focus on bending the knee, but if it doesn’t straighten properly it can change how we move our hips and lower back, affect nerve function and muscle strength. • You got an injection - corticosteroids are a fabulous short term / emergency pain relief. They are NOT a treatment. They just hide the pain rather than treat the cause. Long term they can start to damage the tissues inside the joint. • You got an MRI not an assessment - more and more research shows that MRIs don’t actually tell us what is causing pain. All they show is what your joint looks like on the inside. They don’t tell us how you move, what the other joints are like, when it happens. . . • You skipped rehab after surgery - so now the other knee hurts because you never got full function back in the first knee. Or your back hurts. Or the same knee still hurts because the other issues weren’t addressed.

How to avoid mosquito bites SUMMER time and the mossies are biting. Here are some ways to avoid being a meat feast for the mosquitoes. 1. Get rid of any standing water near your home. Mosquitoes can breed in just 14 days in a small amount of still water. If you have a pond, add a waterfall or fountain to keep the water moving or treat the water. Do not even leave a dog’s bowl outside full of water. 2. Keep mosquitoes outside. Use fly-screens on the windows to keep mosquitos from slipping in a window. Or if you don’t have screens, con-

sider getting a fine mosquito net to hang over your bed.
3. Use mosquito repellent. The most effective chemical
repellents contain DEET, picaridin, PMD, or IR3535 insecticide, which are all considered safe when used as directed. Just watch out for skin irritation and avoid spraying chemicals around the eyes or mouth. Concentrate the repellant on your ankles, feet, lower legs and wrists, which are the thin-skinned areas mosquitoes love. 4. Wear light-coloured clothing. Apparently, darker colours
like black, deep blue and red, stand out so they attract mossies. 5. Stay indoors during dusk and dawn. While mosquitoes can bite at any time of day, it’s wise to limit your exposure at their prime feeding times. If you can’t avoid being outdoors at these times of day, be sure to take some other precautions. 6. Make yourself less appealing. Scientists are still studying
why some people get more mosquito bites than others. Drinking a 12-ounce beer makes some people more appealing to the critters, so does having more bacteria on your skin. Apparently, mossies also like type O blood, now whilst you cannot change that, you can try wearing a scent that mosquitoes dislike. While DEET was most effective, researchers found Victoria’s Secret Bombshell perfume effectively reduced mosquito bites for two hours, even more than some mosquito repellents. 7. Try a natural repellent. Oil of lemon eucalyptus comes from a particular Australian eucalyptus tree (eucalyptus citriodora). Studies show it offers similar protection to products containing low concentrations of DEET. Other natural remedies include Lavender, Cinnamon oil, Thyme oil, Greek catnip oil, Soybean oil, Citronella tea, Tree oil, Geraniol and Neem oil

Businesswoman opens her heart FORMER restaurateur, TV 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.’ My partner and I owned a French restaurant in La Cala (Costa del Sol).

DETOX: Lighten up your toxin load.
Which detox is right? WHICHEVER detox you choose, the first thing to do is lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to the healing process. Some believe the detox can be taken to the next level by minimising the use of chemical cleaners and chemical based healthcare products like shampoos and deodorants. Natural alternatives can be used instead.
NEWS UPDATE:
Lisa and her partner, Joffrey.
Stress can have a hugely adverse impact on the body, triggering stress hormones into your system and can contribute to excess toxins in the system, so it is important during a detox to keep your mind calm and in a stress free environment. Practices such as yoga and meditation are simple and effective at reducing stress by bringing your body and mind into harmony. There are hundreds of detox programmes, recipes and regimes depending on your needs.

THE days of bathroom cabinets packed with an array of skincare products could be over as British women grow tired of complicated facial skincare routines, according to the latest research from Mintel. Over the last year, almost three in 10 (28 per cent) women have reduced the number of products in their facial skincare routine, with young millennials aged 20-29 (54 per cent) most likely to have simplified their routines. In a move away from multi-step routines, the proportion of women using just one product to cleanse their face has risen from 25 per cent in 2018 to 28 per cent in 2019. Meanwhile, the proportion of women using four or more products to cleanse has fallen sharply from 26 per cent in 2018 to 18 per cent in 2019. The biggest facial cleansing casualties include facial cleansing wash (from 55 per cent to 50 per cent), as well as facial cleansing wipes (from 54 to 43) and facial toners (from 29 to 25). This comes as Mintel research reveals there has been a decline in the purchase of make-up, potentially led by reduced usage following the trend for naturally radiant skin. Indeed, some 31 per cent of women who wear make-up are buying colour cosmetics less frequently now compared to last year, and 19 per cent have spent less on the category in the last 12 months. Usage of facial care products has also taken a tumble in the last 12 months. The number of women using day cream/lotion declined from 66 per cent to 60 per cent; while night cream/lotion fell from 48 per cent to 44 per cent and blemish balm (BB), colour correct (CC) and daily defence (DD) cream slumped from 21 per cent in 2018 to 15 per cent in 2019. Overall, the women’s facial skincare market is expected to decline by nearly 1 per cent in 2019, falling to an estimated £1.16 billion from £1.17 billion in 2018.

The three-day tournament brought together 200 competitors on three different golf courses, to raise money for this important cause, raising €4,450 this year to make a grand total of €38,800 since it started. These funds have contributed to the continued development and growth of the charity, allowing for the expansion of the health services team, composed of specialist nurses, social workers and a psychologist: a team completely dedicated to improving the lives of people living with the disease. Donations such as this are vital so that the professional care givers can continue to work to support people whose care and needs are not currently met by the National Health System.

Noche Andaluza MARBELLA born guitarist and composer Juan Delola is in awe of the Andalucian rock bands who created a very special style of music in the second half of the 1970s and 1980s. This love for an emerging rock style as Franco became older and bands started to perform in Spanish rather than English is reflected in the tribute show Noche Andaluza which he has curated and which will be on stage at the Auditorium in the Parque de la Constitutión in Marbella at 10pm on Saturday August 31. This two-hour show will feature the music of such bands as Triana, Medina Azahara, Alameda, Imam, Cai, Lole and Manuel, Guadalquivir, Smash, and Mosque. According to Delola this is an ideal show for every age, allowing older members of the family to remember the music and for younger members to discover what they have been missing. Tickets cost €10 and can be purchased at www.mientrada.net.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala invents a new style of Wellington dish, the Scallop Wellington!
The Duke of all Wellingtons! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com
WE all love a Wellington because let’s be honest, what is nicer than a delicious piece of meat or fish wrapped in buttery pastry and baked in the oven? I am not 100 per cent certain where the name of the dish Wellington comes from as I had assumed that it came from the first Duke of Wellington (UK’s prime minister in 1828), but some say it was a dish served in the town Wellington in New Zealand for a civic reception in that era. It is one of the most wonderful and most popular dishes to eat, but why is it usually always beef? You could make a wellington using anything... and so I did… Scallop Wellington! I googled Scallop Wellington to see if any other chefs were doing something similar and there is one entry, but it’s making little puff pastry vol au vents filled with scallops. That’s not the same thing at all and
the only other things that come up are scallops from Wellington in New Zealand. So I’m pretty safe to say that this is my dish! From 2004 to 2007 I ran and operated Brocket Hall in Welwyn Garden City, St Albans, near London. Brocket Hall was the home of the eccentric Lord Brocket who some will remember for his time on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here which was filmed in the jungle in Australia, whilst others may remember him for burying his Ferrari collection in his own estate! Either way Brocket Hall is steeped in fascinating history. I was enchanted by Brocket Hall and this prestigious mansion and wanted to know more about the history. In the grounds there is a beautiful building called Melbourne Lodge. It was named after Lord Melbourne who was the UK prime minister in 1835. The Duke of Wellington was a colleague and friend of Lord Melbourne and Brocket Hall was Lord Melbourne’s designated home. He often entertained the Duke of Wellington at Brocket Hall, so it seemed obvious to me that we should make use of the Wellington theme at Brocket Hall. That is where I started expanding my enthusiasm for this dish by doing Veni-
Raul, sous chef, and Prince, head chef, glazing the Wellingtons.
son Wellington, Sea Bass Wellington, Pork wellington and so on. At the Little Geranium we are well-
known and loved for our tasting menus and our surprise eight-course tasting menu (which I change weekly) current-
ly has a mini Wellington of hand dived scallops as one of the courses. It has been so incredibly popular that I have kept it on the taster menu. Clients have said that it is one of the best things that they have ever eaten and so I have kept it running! You will need to find decent sized fresh scallops for this dish which can be prepared in advance, so it’s great as a starter at a dinner party. You simply take the mini Wellingtons out of the fridge, brush and glaze the pastry with egg yolk and pop them in a hot oven for about five minutes until the pastry is golden brown. The scallop cooks perfectly in the pastry, moist and slightly undercooked snuggled in its crispy pastry coat. It really is delicious! To save time you can buy good butter puff pastry here in Spain. We serve it with a pea and beetroot puree. Purees are on trend at the moment in Michelin restaurants. We use them a lot as they are great for presenting a dish pulled across a plate and fab for adding flavours because anything pureed usually has a really concentrated flavour. So if you want to impress a loved one this weekend, serve this as a starter and you will be amazed at the enthusiasm that it receives!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Scallop Wellington RECIPE serves four 8 x fresh hand dived scallops A tablespoon of olive oil 100g of chilled salted butter cut into 1cm pieces 300g mixture of mixed or wild mushrooms, cleaned 2 cloves garlic peeled 1 small onion peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon of thick cream 500g pre-made puff pastry (made with butter) 8 small slices of Serrano ham 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard 2 egg yolks for glazing pastry Maldon salt • Method
Roughly chop the mushrooms and fry in a hot pan with a little olive oil, the onion and garlic and some seasoning. Continue to cook on a high heat for about five minutes until all the excess moisture has evaporated. Remove the mushrooms from the pan, leave to cool and then blend in a food processor until fine and then add the cream to bind it together. This is called a duxelle. Check seasoning before using. Cut the pastry into small saucer size circles and roll out to 2mm thick if it’s not prerolled. Lay a sheet of cling film on a
work surface and place the circle of pastry on and then place on a slice of Serrano ham. Seal all the scallops in a very hot frying pan with a little olive oil and add the pieces of the butter. The butter will give them colour and start the cooking process. Do not turn them over and seal for only one minute. Remove from heat and rest. Place the scallop on top of the ham in the centre. Spread a little Dijon mustard evenly and finely on the scallop and then put on a teaspoon of the duxelle on top of the scallop. Using the cling film, roll the pastry and
Serrano ham over the scallop, then roll and tie the cling film underneath to get the pastry a nice round shape. Repeat this step with the other scallops and keep in fridge until needed. Remove the cling film from the scallops and trim the pastry underneath if necessary. Brush the mini Wellingtons all over with the egg yolk. When you are ready to cook the Wellingtons, bake in a hot pre-heated oven on a baking
tray lined with a little oil (to stop them sticking) at 225ºC for five minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with a little Maldon salt. Pea Puree 1kg of frozen peas Maldon salt and a squeeze of
lemon to finish Method Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the peas for two minutes. Add the peas to a blender or thermomix along with a little of the cooking water. Blitz the peas, adding more liquid in small tablespoons if needed. Blend for no more than three minutes, until a fairly thick, smooth puree. Taste and season with salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

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 Unidas-Podemos 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 UnidasPodemos expect to vote for them
No sun - no moon will stay indoors instead. PSOE analysts believe they would pick up far more than their current 123 seats in another ele c tio n a th o ugh U P w ould plummet. Therefore PSOE will wing it
and win. Therefore nothing. D o you re me mbe r Thoma s Hood’s poem that begins ‘No sun - no moon!’ and ends ‘November?’ To tha t s hould be a dd’“ N o votes!’
Upset tummies IT’S the silly season again, although there’s not much silly about this summer of discontent in Spain or the UK. But at least the Clinica Universi-
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.
dad de Navarra, run by the Catholic sect Opus Dei has done the honours with its announcement that promiscuity and homosexuality are responsible for gastroenteritis. Makes you wonder what they think is responsible for the Norovirus that strikes down cruise passengers like flies. A stopover at Sodom and Gomorrah presumably.
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.

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.

MOTORING 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

New Corvette Stingray CHEVROLET has announced the details of the new Stingray, the brand’s first-ever production midengine Corvette. The new mid-engine layout gives the new Stingray:
• Better weight distribution, with the rear weight bias enhancing performance in a straight line. • Better 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 Corvette, 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 loca-
tion 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 t h e l a rg e r e a r h a t c h w i n dow. C o r v e t t e ’s s t r u c t u r e i s built around its backbone: the centre tunnel. This enables a light, stiff structure to serve as the foundation 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, connectedto-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 architec-
ture 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 a s p i r a t e d V- 8 i n t h e s e g ment. It 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. The US version of the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray goes into production in late 2019. Additional pricing and packaging as well as information regarding European versions (including RHD) will be released closer to their respective launches.

Classic Car Club of Andalucía
HOT HOT HOT! But the show goes on.... 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 non-classic 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,
IT’S HOT: August heat. steep descent from the mountains to Vale de Abdalajis (quite a mouthful). 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? There will be a party at Treetops Restaurante at El Chaparral on the first Tuesday of that month, and then another classic car run with a superb lunch, live music, dining and dancing to party on at the Safari Rooms in Club La Costa the following Saturday. Thinking of joining this active and vibrant car club? Do it now and you could be helping to celebrate in September........ info@cccandalucia.com Until the next time,
Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

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 10 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
SCORED: Morata grabbed the win for Atletico. Gameiro 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 eight-goal 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, Portugal and Germany only to fall at the final hurdle, losing the final to Ireland 26-12. It means they have improved on last year ’s finish of third in the European Championship, and leaves the coaches satisfied with the progress being made by the young players. Having 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 7-12 u p , w h i c h w a s a f a i r re f l e c t i o n o f t h e play. But Spain had no answer when Ireland 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.

Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard out of La Liga opener By Dilip Kuner REAL MADRID’S season has taken an early blow as star signing Eden Hazard 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 Real Madrid in June from Chelsea 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. Real Madrid 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.
VICTORY: Real Madrid get off to a perfect start, despite Hazard’s injury.
The depleted team however did not look to struggle against Vigo with a convincing away 3-1 victory. Welshman Gareth Bale proved he was still a force to be reckoned with after a sur-
prise call up from manager Zinedine Zidane. Karim Benzema opened the scoring after 12 minutes, Toni Kroos landed a spectacular long range second and Lucas Vazquez sealed the victory in

Santa Maria extends to par-71 CostaLessGolf Weekly News with
Ron Garrood SANTA MARIA Golf and Country Club extended its 18-hole course to a par-71 following a major transformation of the ninth hole, which has been lengthened from a 324-metre par-four to a 511-metre par-five. The tees on the ninth remain the same. The first shot has to be hit across a lake and begin climbing a slight slope, gaining enough distance so you can reach the new fairway with your second shot.
The approach shot to the green offers an expansive landing area. Large, gently sloping and with two putting platforms, the green is protected by a bunker at the front on the right. This sand hazard can be avoided by hitting to the left-hand platform or approaching or over the bunker. The ninth green is in the highest area of the golf course. The hole rises slightly from the tee to a well-protected green in a stunning natural setting. Its size enables many different flag positions, which further enhances the hole’s spectacular features. This extension of the
course will be continued with a new layout remodelling to lengthen it further to a par-72 - within a few months, probably by March 2020. Santa María Golf was inaugurated in 1991, initially with nine holes designed by Antonio García Garrido. The second nine, opened in 1996, were designed by the club’s technical team. Managed by Alfredo Ramiro, the course offers golfers a challenging round in natural surroundings with views of the sea and oak tree-covered mountains. A stream and four lakes provide the course with testing challenges, while further enhancing its beauty.

Ready to cycle WORLD champion Spaniard Alejandro Valverde, the Colombian Nairo Quintana, winner of La Vuelta in 2016 and the Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz, champion of the last Giro d’Italia, head the official formation of the Movistar team for the Tour de España, which begins this Saturday, August 24 in Torrevieja. The team led by Eusebio Unzúe will participate for the 40th time in the Tour of Spain. For this 74th edition of La Vuelta, which will conclude on September 15, Movistar will also have Marc Soler, Imanol Erviti, Nelson Oliveira, Jorge Arcas and Antonio Pedrero in the team. José Luis Arrieta and Pablo Lastras will be the sports directors of the team, which has been participating uninterruptedly in La Vuelta since 1980. Since its debut under the name Reynolds, the team has won four times, had 12 podiums, 61 stage victories and 10 team successes. Their first winner was Pedro Delgado, in 1989, followed by Abraham Olano (1998) and then Valverde and Quintana. On Saturday the first stage will start in the Salinas de Torrevieja and will run through the municipality in a first stage as a team time trial. For Valverde it is almost a home stage as he comes from Murcia.
SPORT By Dilip Kuner IT may have been billed as an exhibition match, but there was a lot on the line when Spain 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. The USA team included some of the NBA’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, Spain did gain the respect of their opponents. USA coach Gregg 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 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 USA 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. The final Spanish 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.
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. While Alonso’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
DRIVING FORCE: Alonso is highly rated by Toyota. 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 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.
