COSTA DEL SOL

YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION

FLOOD AFTERMATH THE storms that hit the Costa del Sol on Saturday September 1 4 b ro u g h t f l o o d i n g and destruction with them.

Worst hit was Alhaurin el Grande where fast flowing flood water dragged away dozens of cars.

Several homes were flooded out and roads badly damaged, with Mayor Toñi Ledesma describing the situation as chaotic.

The La Teja stream burst its banks, drowning the Fuengirola road. When the water went down, the road was still impassable. A thick layer of mud - which had partially buried several cars - had to be removed.

First estimates put the damage to the town at €2 million. This does not include damage to homes or crops.

A total of 20 kilometres of rural roads in the municipality were damaged along with the roof of the sports centre and walls of several schools and institutions.

Alhaurin de la Torre and Cartama also suffered, but not quite as badly, while Coin had more than €1 million worth of damage caused to roads.

The 112 emergency line dealt with 327 storm-related incidents in the province out of a total of 720 in the whole of Andalucia.

Although flooding and damage was caused, this part of the country missed the worst of the storms that swept across eastern and southern Spain.

They have claimed the lives of seven people in the Alicante and Almeria areas and caused many

millions of euros worth of damage to property and infrastructure. Thousands of people were cut off and many had to be evacuated.

Meteorologist Angel Rivera explained that last weekend’s rainfall was unusually high. He

attributed the strength of the storms to them picking up on the remnants of Hurricane Dorian which hit the eastern coast of America. Rivera also explained that the total area affected is one of the largest recorded as the storm was so slow moving.

44 FINANCE 48 NATIONAL DISH: Valencia plans to turn the famous paella into a world recognised dish.

LEAPY

THE BEAUTY OF PAELLA Sunday September 22 will see the whole world come together in celebration of one of Spain’s best loved dishes.

WORLD PAELLA DAY, now in its second year, is aiming to turn the National dish of Spain into a World Heritage Site, much like what Italy has done for its famous pizzas.

The Department of Tourism and Relations in the Valencian region have called on all the various groups throughout the l’Alfàs del Pi area, the dish’s traditional home, to come to-

gether for a competition to enable the dish to become an ‘Intangible Patrimony of the Humanity.’

The contest will take place the following Sunday, September 29 at the municipal sports centre in l’Alfàs del Pi from 12pm until 5pm.

Residents of the municipality are being called to attend the festival and to bring their own interpretation of

the dish, which traditionally uses rabbit and chicken, but is also now adapted to use, sea food, chorizo and shellfish.

According to UNESCO regulations, in order for the dish to be classed as a World Heritage Site, the dish needs ‘practice, ritual, custom for the preparation and an art for its preparation.’

Behind bars

Nurse assaulted

A MULTIPLE rapist who was due to be moved to a day release prison regime remains behind bars.

Juan Carlos G R, known as the ‘multiple rapist of Malaga’ and sentenced to 271 years in prison for 24 sexual assaults, is approaching semi-freedom after 17 years behind bars.

All that remains is to know where he will enjoy the third grade prison regime granted to him by the Penitentiary Surveillance judge. The Albolote prison (Granada), where he is being held, wants to make sure that when he is assigned a Social Integration Centre (CIS), the 2,000-metre restraining order that is in force for the next 15 years for 18 of his 24 victims is respected. To do that they need to know where the 18 are presently living and working. Prison authorities are working to find this information out and only then will he be assigned a CIS.

A NURSE was insulted, threatened and finally beaten by a patient in a casualty department.

The incident happened at Malaga’s Hospital Clinico on Sunday and has led to renewed demands for more security.

The Nurses Union (Satse), says that the aggressive patient ‘sowed panic,’ so the SAS (Andalucian Health Service) aggression plan was activated.

But it was too late for the victim who has had to take time off work to recover from the assault.

Satse says such assaults are becoming more common and wants action from the hospital authorities to protect medical staff. It has also put out a plea to the public to respect nurses and doctors, warning that it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt.

Doctors recently held demonstrations outside medical centres throughout Malaga Province to protest at the rising levels of verbal and physical abuse they have to deal with.

Arrested for fake rape A YOUNG woman has been arrested for allegedly faking a rape to get more attention from her boyfriend.

Police in Fuengirola were alerted when the woman’s flat mate called to report an assault.

When they interviewed the ‘victim’ she told them that she had been dropped off by a taxi in a street she did not recognise. She claimed to have approached three men to ask for directions.

She told police that she was bundled into a white car and raped by one as the others watched. The men were described as fat, dark and wearing traditional Moroccan clothes.

After the ‘assault’ she phoned her boyfriend who had earlier shared the taxi with her before he was dropped off first, to tell him what had happened.

A police investigation concluded she could not have been assaulted at the times alleged and on confronting the woman she admitted she had made the story up.

She had spent the evening with friends and decided her boyfriend had not given her enough attention.

From there things spiralled out of control until a full police investigation was launched.

Counting the cost

By Dilip Kuner ANDALUCIA has been left counting the cost of the storms that swept the region.

The regional government has already set up an emergency fund of €75 million to help pay for the massive clean-up operations and to repair the damage wrought.

The cash is a combination of the Junta de Andalucia’s own funds and EU payments.

Millions of euros is destined for the Costa del Sol and Malaga Province where the ‘gota fria’ brought flooding and destruction.

While the main coastal towns and cities escaped the worst of the weather, several inland towns suffered heavily, with Alhaurin el Grande worst affected.

President of Andalucia Juanma Moreno visited the town to inspect the damage. He said: “We can not remove the suffering, but we can help people to recover their homes, fields and roads.”

DAMAGE: Millions needed to repair the damage in Alhaurin el Grande.

Tourism, Regeneration and Local Government will initially release €10 million to municipalities to restore damaged infrastructure with town halls having five days to claim.

Another €20 million is destined for local road repairs and to help farmers repair damage, while €28 million has been earmarked to clear

watercourses and fix damaged hydraulic works.

The regional government has also set aside €16 million to repair regional roads in Malaga, Sevilla, Cordoba, Jaen, Granada and Almeria.

A further €1 million will be used to repair storm damage to schools and health centres.

Luxury villa was actually drugs lab

by Dilip Kuner A LUXURY villa in an exclusive estate has been revealed to be a drugs lab and marihuana plantation.

Heavily armed Guardia Civil swooped on the home on the Mirador de Costalita Urbanisation in Estepona.

They made two arrests and seized 600 kilos of hashish, in the form of 19 bales.

Investigators had suspected that the house was used to store drugs, but were surprised when they entered the property by the scale of the operation.

The entire ground floor of the villa was used as a warehouse, and a laboratory for the processing of the drug, and as a marihuana plantation. In fact there were so many plants being grown that police have not been able to specify the number of plants yet.

The raid came just a day after Guardia Civil struck a major blow against the criminal drugs trade by seizing 11,200 kilos of hashish in different but simultaneous operations in Malaga, Huelva and Cadiz.

In Malaga, four operations were carried out in which the Guardia Civil arrested eight people and seized 1,700 kilos of hashish, in addition to five boats

and two high-end cars.

One raid also took place in Estepona when a boat heading for the coast aroused suspicions. The crew realised that they were being followed by the Maritime Service of the Guardia Civil and abandoned their boat.

Officers found 10 bundles of hashish weighing a total of 300 kilos.

The other three operations took place in Rincon de la Victoria, where an overturned boat was found, Casares, where they located another drugs hiding place with 850 kilos of hashish and detained four Italians, and finally in Malaga where a boat carrying 19 bales was boarded.

A RECENT birdwatching visit to Morocco by members of the Andalucia Bird Society got off to a very disappointing start when on arrival at Tangier, the Moroccan authorities confiscated their telescopes.

Reportedly for security reasons, tourists are now prohibited from bringing telescopes into Morocco.

Exit like Incredible Hulk JUST 36 days before the Brexit deadline, the UK Prime Minister met EC President Jean-Claude Junker for the first time on Monday.

Boris Johnson had nothing new to bring to the table other than his declared preference to be ‘dead in a ditch’ rather than extend the deadline.

‘Put career before country’ FORMER Prime Minister David Cameron has accused Boris Johnson of putting his political career before Britain’s best interests.

In David Cameron’s forthcoming memoirs, he says Boris Johnson was never a fan of Brexit but jumped on the bandwagon for his own ends.

David Cameron says he has no regrets about calling the referendum on Europe having been bound, he said, by a Tory manifesto pledge to do so.

Mr Cameron campaigned for remain while Mr Johnson rallied the call to leave resulting in the then Prime Minister’s resignation when his side unexpectedly lost the vote.

He says his former colleague was more worried about winning a popularity contest within his own party than taking the country in the right direction.

In his memoirs, published in the Sunday Times, Mr Cameron writes: ‘Whichever senior Tory politician took the lead on the Brexit side - so loaded with images of patriotism, independence and romance - would become the darling of the party.

‘He [Mr Johnson] didn’t want to risk allowing someone else with a high profile - Michael Gove in particular - to win that crown. The conclusion I am left with is that he [Boris Johnson] risked an outcome he didn’t believe in because it would help his political career.’

He also criticises Mr Johnson for misleading voters with promises he could not follow through when he rode the Brexit bus with a banner claiming leaving would gain the NHS an extra £350m a week.

Last week Parliament passed a law forcing the PM to seek an extension to the deadline rather than leave without a deal.

Despite declaring the intention to obey the law, UK government ministers have confirmed that the UK will walk away on October 31 regardless.

Talks focused on specific ideas to control plants and livestock movements at the Northern Ireland border as an alternative to the Irish backstop which remains the sticking point.

Now that the UK government has lost its majority, the support of the DUP is less relevant to Mr Johnson who could allow different rules for Northern Ireland to break the deadlock.

Although the proposals have been likened in Brussels as last night’s takeaway with a sprinkling of fresh herbs.

Mr Johnson wrote in Monday’s Daily Telegraph newspaper that he believes a deal is possible within three weeks.

Cancel Brexit LIBERAL Democrats have voted to reverse Brexit if they win the next General Election. The policy was confirmed at the party’s annual conference.

Previously the party had campaigned for a second referendum and say they will continue to argue for a second vote before a General Election.

Junker wants win EU president may gift deal to the UK to end his final weeks in office. British officials have said Jean-Claude Juncker will be keen to agree a deal to end his presidency with a win but Euro diplomats say he will not force Ireland to accept a climbdown over the backstop.

Drop backstop THE Irish backstop plan has been declared ‘undemocratic.’

Dominic Raab, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs has said the backstop must be removed before any agreement can be reached and that proposals for a future trading relationship between the EU and UK had to be ‘much more ambitious.’

The British market is key to Andalucia from a tourist, residential and economic point of view as well as being politically sensitive with the issue of Gibraltar – and the thousands of Spaniards who work there – never far away.

The Minister of the Presidency to the Andalucian government, Elias Bendodo, presented this document to 100 businessmen from Malaga at a ceremony held at the Institute of Port Studies.

PLAN: Elias Bendodo presented the Brexit contingency measures.

He gave two main messages. The first is that this plan “is a living document” and, therefore, the Junta is open to incorporating more meas u r e s i f n e c e s s a r y. T h e second is that, as Bendod o s a i d : “ We w a n t t o convey a message of se-

curity and confidence because Andalucia is prepared for any type of Brexit.”

Among these measures listed is a proposed consultancy service, so that companies with a high dependence on the United Kingdom can reformulate their internationalisation plans.

He also specified that there will be a plan to support the promotion of products and services at zero cost at trade fairs, direct missions or individual projects in the UK.

Pedalling away A RECORD 1,000 cyclists took part in the cycle event ‘Gran Fondo Costa del Sol’ on Saturday.

This is 25 per cent more than its first edition. Estepona was the start and finish of two routes, with riders from several different countries taking part. The current Spanish MTB Champion and ‘godmother’ of this edition Natalia Fischer and professional cyclist Triki Beltran took part. One race covered 133 kilometres and another 94 kilometres.

NEW SOLUTION: Architects’ recreation of the scheme.

Cathedral solution A PROJECT to fix M a l a g a C a t h e d r a l ’s leaky roof has been presented.

The Bishopric of Malaga is taking a step forward in its bid to finally solve the problem that has affected the roof a nd w a lls of the building for decades.

D ioc e s a n offic ia ls pre sented a project for a gabled roof that will cover the roof,

largely following the proposal that, in 1764, Ventura Rodriguez devised to continue work on the cathedral.

Architects José Manuel Sánchez La Chica and Adolf o de l a Tor r e pr oposed a new structure to protect the building without affecting guided tours and following the concept of keeping an open space.

The Junta de Andalucia

spent nearly €2 million tryi ng t o f i x t he pr obl em i n 2009 wi t h a second br i ck ‘skin’ covering the original vaulted roof.

But a year ago, cracks appeared and the problem returned. The 2009 brickwork will be removed and a wood and steel structure resting on the walls rather than the roof itself will be constructed.

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

for the best Latin American singer of the year.

The theatre is expected to be packed to the rafters as tickets have sold out.

The event is organised by the Gala Foundation, chaired by María Cansino.

This is the fourth production on the Costa del Sol. Its objective is to promote the Latin American film and music industry by rewarding those professionals devoted to the genre in supporting film-musical culture and in their day-to-day work.

REWARD: Singer Jon Secada.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lung and heart are viable for 4-6 hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and ligaments can also be donated.

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

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

If in any doubt, seek professional help.

GOOD COPY: Counterfeit art on display.

It features paintings and sculptures confiscated by police in various operations.

Apart from being fakes, a common denominator is

their great artistic quality. All of them come from the stores of the Historical Heritage Brigade in Madrid and the Museum of the National Police School in Avila.

The exhibition can be visited in the Sala de Usos Múltiples until September 30 from 11am to 2pm and 5pm to 9pm.

Satse also criticised a delay in opening a new clean room to prepare cancer medicines and conduct clinical analysis in the General Hospital.

This room has been finished but unused for almost a year and a half.

According to the hospital, it will open in the coming weeks after it is finally kitted out.

Their main clue is a grainy picture in which the man can be seen bent over with brush in hand busily painting over the blue lines, which have been recently introduced in the La Union district of Malaga, meaning motorists have to pay to park.

Crushed by own car THE body of a man who had apparently been run over by his own car has been found in Alhaurin el Grande.

The Guardia Civil is investigating the death of the man in his 40’s who was found on Sunday.

Although the area in which he was found is one of those affected by last weekend’s storms, police are not connecting his death to localised flooding.

Indications are that the man died after his car rolled on to him. He was found crushed between a large garden planter and his car at the bottom of a steep driveway. Apparently, his family had not heard from him since Wednesday and decided to check the house after Saturday’s storms to make sure it was not damaged. It was then that the body was found.

An investigation into the death has been opened by police.

Hospital proves its worth

by Dilip Kuner THE Guadalhorce hospital has proven its worth in taking the pressure off Malaga’s main hospitals.

Since its operating rooms finally opened in December, more than 2,500 operations have been carried out in its four operating theatres.

Up until its opening, the 100,000 strong population of Alhaurin el Grande, Alora, Alozaina, Ardales, Carratraca, Cartama, Casarabonela, Coin, Guaro, Monda, Pizarra, Tolox and Yunquera had to make their way to Malaga for surgery. This was not only a long trek, but put extra pressure on the city’s busy hospitals.

Then the Andalucian health service recruited 50 staff for the centre as part of a €22.5 million scheme to cut waiting lists throughout the region and the theatres were opened two years after the centre had first started attending to outpatients.

The opening of the theatres had been delayed when it was

discovered the electrical system was not reliable enough. When operating theatre equipment was turned on power cuts ocurred, meaning a new cable from the grid had to be laid by Endesa.

The staff had been on strike since July 31, with the presence of the ‘respected and experienced’ mediator deemed to be crucial in bringing the two sides together.

The union says that the company has agreed to make extra payments that it had previously refused to.

There will also be a review of training contracts, which will be analysed by an evaluation committee made up of representatives of the company and trade unions. “This new system must be a tool to eliminate the abuse of contracts in practices that occur in the sector,” said the CCOO in a statement.

Advertising Feature FREEZER: Are your contents covered?

CHANGES: DTT TVs will need to be retuned once the transmitters switch frequencies.

THE Coming of 5G mobile technology means that people will have to retune their Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT).

The frequencies the channels presently use are going to be used by 5G super-fast mobile phone technology instead.

The process of switching over started on September 18 with 63 municipalities affected

initially. These include Mijas, Marbella, Fuengirola, Benalmadena, Torremolinos and Malaga.

In Malaga Province there are 29,253 buildings, in which 885,805 people live, most of whom will have to adapt. For some a simple retune will be all that is necessary. But others may have to adjust their signal reception facilities. Grants will

be available to help communities pay for changes to communal systems.

During the transition period television channels will broadcast simultaneously on the new and old frequencies (simulcast) for between four and six months.

Applications for grants may be submitted online until September 30, 2020.

According to the report Panorama of Education 2019 by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 20.7 per cent of Andalucian youth find themselves with nothing to do after finishing school.

However, the situation is getting better with the rate of young people without a job and without links to any training option having fallen for the fifth consecutive year.

This means the levels are approaching those recorded by the OECD in the years prior to the 2008 crisis (16.5 per cent).

At the peak in 2013 NEETS made up 30 per cent of the age group.

In Spain as a whole the number of NEETS exceeds 16 per cent, 2.5 per cent above the European average. The community with the lowest number of NEETS in the age group is the Basque Country with 9.9 per cent, while the highest percentage is recorded in Melilla, with 30.7 per cent.

Mortgage loans: Supreme Court makes it more difficult for banks to foreclose IN line with the resolutions of the European Court of Justice (ECJ)

on the Spanish Supreme Court (SC), in a recent ruling of September 11,

it has ruled on the consequences of the invalidity of mortgage repayment default clauses that allowed termination of the loan agreement and in doing so, has sealed the fate of thousands of ongoing foreclosure proceedings dealt with by Courts of First Instance.

As of September 11, the following rules apply in loan foreclosures in Spain: • Banks will be able to foreclose if: • The borrower has de­ faulted on its repayment obligations on principal, or interest.

• The sums unpaid amount to a minimum of: • 3 per cent of the prin­ cipal borrowed, if default takes place during the first half of the mortgage loan

term. This condition will al­ so be considered met when the borrower is at least 12 months in arrears (or equivalent).

• 7 per cent of the prin­ cipal borrowed, if the breach takes place during the second half of the mortgage loan term. This condition will also be con­ sidered met when the bor­

rower is at least 15 months in arrears (or equivalent).

• Loan foreclosure cases that are ongoing will be dealt with as follows: • If the loan was termi­ nated before May 15, 2013 by applying the default clause recognised as null and void, the case will be dismissed.

• If the loan was termi­ nated after May 15, 2013 by applying the default clause recognised as null and void: • The case will be dis­ missed if the default does not meet the criteria of gravity and proportionali­ ty, by application of art. 24 of Act 5/2019.

• The case will not be dismissed ­ and may con­ tinue to be processed ­ if the default meets the cri­ teria above described.

• Where the bank is legally unable to continue with ongoing cases, they will still be entitled to bring further loan foreclo­ sure applications, but ex­ clusively based on contrac­ tual default based on the criteria of Act 5/2019, and not on the existing loan default clause.

Instagram arrest A MAN aged 22 who allegedly drove round the streets of Malaga recklessly to gain Instagram followers has been arrested.

Police say he filmed himself

speeding at up to 180 kph on a car, pulling wheelies on a scooter and insulting Local Police in such a way that they didn’t notice.

His only goal was to get followers on his Instagram account and convey a false sense of impunity. But his luck ran out when he was arrested in Monda.

Police have accused him of two crimes against road safety, one for driving motor vehicles with manifest recklessness and another for speeding, and a third crime of hatred, insults and slander.

Police had discovered that an Instagram account was being used to upload content of potentially criminal actions.

On further investigation officers found a total of 27 record-

“

ings, 19 of them related to crimes against road safety, which, once analysed, could be proven to belong to the same person.

In one of them, this young man can be seen getting out of the moving vehicle and getting onto the bonnet to dance for about 12 seconds, while being recorded by a friend.

In 15 videos he is seen driving a car holding the wheel with his left hand while using the right to film himself with a mobile reaching speeds of up to 184 kilometres per hour.

On others he is seen to clandestinely insult Local Police officers and members of other forces.

He has now been put before the courts.

TRAGIC: The victim had stab wounds to her chest and stomach Spanish press reported.

Killed in front of children A 30-YEAR woman was stabbed to death in front of her two young children at her home in Madrid on Tuesday evening in another suspected case of gender-based violence.

Police have arrested the victim’s partner, an Ecuadorian in his 40’s, Spanish media reported.

The attack took place in the Ciudad Lineal district of the capital.

The 112 Emergencies Madrid service said on Twitter that it was the victim’s eight-year old daughter who called them about what had happened to their mother.

According to Spanish media, an emergency services team found the woman of Paraguayan origin slumped on the floor at the entrance to the building where the family lived. She had stab wounds to her chest and stomach and had gone into cardio-respiratory arrest. Despite efforts to save her life she died from her injuries.

If the case is confirmed as gender-based violence it would make it the 42nd death of women at the hands of their partners or expartners in Spain this year.

Earlier this week a man was arrested in Pontevedra for killing his ex-wife, her mother and her sister.

Making an insurance claim after the storms THE storms which wreaked havoc across Valencia, Alicante, Murcia and Almería last week were amongst the most severe we have witnessed in recent years and left a trail of destruction and sadly loss of life across the region.

If your home or vehicle is insured and has been damaged during these storms then you will want to make a claim. Your first call will be to your insurer or the broker or agent who sold you the policy. When you give them details of the damage and how it was caused you may

well be advised that this is covered by the Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros and not your insurance company.

So, what is the Consorcio and how does it work? The Consorcio is a public insurance company created by the Spanish government in 1941. It has many functions but the key one in this case is coverage of extraordinary risks to persons and property. Contracting an insurance policy with a private insurer in Spain carries with it separate coverage against extraordinary risks, the coverage extending to the same property and people covered by that policy and for the same amounts. The natural

INSURANCE ADVICE: What to do in the wake of flooding. risks covered are earthquakes, tidal waves or tsunamis, floods, volcanic eruptions, wind storms

(tornadoes and winds gusting to more than 120km/h) and falling objects and meteorites.

Flood is the risk that accounts for most of the claims in Spain.

Flood is defined as an inundation of land due to the accumulation or runoff of rainwater, meltwater or waters from lakes, rivers or inlets through overflow of their natural beds or channels. It also covers damage caused by coastal battering.

Damage produced by rain falling directly on the insured

property or collected by its roof or cover, drainage system or patios is not covered by the Consorcio. Water from dams, canals, sewers, collectors and other man-made underground channels is also not covered unless these are ruptured by an extraordinary event covered by the Consorcio. A useful rule of thumb is that if the rain water comes through your roof it is not covered by the Consorcio, but if the rain water comes through your door it is. Ap-

praisal of the damage is carried out by claims assessors appointed by the Consorcio.

The Consorcio is funded by a compulsory surcharge on the policy premiums on several lines of insurance including home and vehicle insurance.

Private insurers collect this surcharge alongside the policy premium and deposit those funds with the Consorcio on behalf of the customer. How to make a claim? As mentioned above, your first port of call is to the insurer, broker or agent who sold you the policy. If the damage you are claiming for is covered by the Consorcio they will advise you what to do next. For further information see www.consorseguros.es.

If your policy was taken out with Ibex Insurance, we will help you to understand the process and to complete the Consorcio claim form ‘hoja de comunicación de daños.’ Just contact your Ibex office or agent and we will hold your hand through the entire process.

Not the real thing A SPANISH brandy firm with a base in the country of Georgia is being investigated after it was discovered that it had potentially shipped up to four million litres of counterfeit brandy across Europe.

The Altosa Group, who own the Georgian distillery, are currently under investigation after it emerged that the brandy they were importing to fellow EU countries such as France and Spain was a type of corn brandy, a much cheaper alternative to the EU regulated wine brandy.

The scheme was detected after Georgia’s strict export practices led to the realisation that four million litres had left the country without proper certification.

Georgian Wine, used in the manufacture of the brandy, holds huge national economic importance to the country and because of such; the National Wine Agency was born.The director of the Agency, Levan Mekhuzla, explained, “At the agency we grant certificates to all companies that want to export wine and pass controls, and without these certificates it is forbidden to export.

“After compiling our end of year analysis, we found that four million litres of alcohol had left the country without a certificate. And they all belonged to Iberica Spirits, the Georgian company owned by the Spanish winery Altosa.”

Authorities have confirmed that multiple forged documents across a number of countries have led to the false export of the counterfeit brandy, a fact that the CEO of Altosa, Pedro José López Montero, firmly denies.

In an interview with the media last July, he pointed the finger at Georgian business partner Solomon Akhalkatsi.

$991 million defence deal SPANISH shipbuilder, Navantia, and the Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) have signed a $991 million dollar defence deal.

The partnership was announced at the Defence and Security Equipment international 2019 Exhibition in London.

The deal is to adapt Navantia’s combat management systems for Saudi navy corvette ships and is thought to be part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s modernisation programme called ‘Vision 2030.’

The joint venture between SAMI and Navantia has attracted some criticism after a UN report has openly criticised the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen and the supply of arms by countries such as the UK, the US, and France who have been accused of being complicit in ‘war crimes.’

Cars frontman dies RIC OCASEK, lead singer of the rock band The Cars has been found dead in his town house in Manhattan.

Famous for their hugely popular 70’s and 80’s hits including My Best Friend’s Girl, Ocasek was 75 years old and the New York Police department released a statement saying they received a call at around 4pm Sunday for an unconscious male.

Ocasek’s identity was confirmed by the police and was pronounced dead at the scene at the townhouse on East 19th Street.

Ocasek and the band The Cars were inducted in the rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame in 2018.

Rod’s revelation ICONIC singer Sir Rod Stewart stunned an audience this week as he revealed he has had prostate cancer and had been receiving treatment for two years.

Sir Rod then went onto explain that he has fought the cancer, aided by two years of excellent treatment, and now has been given the all clear. Rod, who was knighted in 2016 for his services to music and industry, revealed the news to a stunned audience at a special prostrate fundraiser alongside his ‘best mate’ Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, previously ‘The Small Faces,’ which group Sir Rod was a part of many years ago. The event for the revelation was held at the Wentworth Club based in leafy Surrey. Father-of-seven Sir Rod took to the stage in front of 500 people to say “No one knows this, but I think this is the time to tell everybody, I’ve had prostate cancer and I’m now in the clear - simply because I caught it early because I have so many tests.” Rod now wants to raise the awareness about prostate cancer and is urging men to take preliminary measures and to go for simple tests.

Benalmádena NEWS

FOR many years, the summer traffic jams to enter and leave Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmadena from the A7 have been legendary with very long waits especially during rush hours being the rule rather than the exception.

On May 22 of this year, provisional traffic diversions were introduced as work was started by the Ministry of Development to remodel the East link and this appears to have had a very positive effect.

According to information released by the Government Subdelegation in Malaga waiting times have been substantially reduced with delays dropping by up to 86 per cent in the best case.

It is hoped that when the actual road works are completed that regular lengthy delays will become a thing of the past.

Fire Strait THERE is no question that firefighters are special people, but one, C r i s t ó b a l M á rq u e z f ro m Benalmadena, is more special than many.

He started swimming just one kilometre at a time and has now worked up to 12 kilometres, but

the route that he will be taking sometime later this month (the final date being down to best

weather conditions) will measure 18 kilometres in an area where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean with plenty of ships sailing across his course.

To make things just that little more difficult, he plans not to wear an insulated wet suit for his attempt, although the firefighter may change his mind if the sea conditions appear to be particularly difficult.

He has just met with Benalmadena mayor, Víctor Navas and colleagues to discuss his plans and to receive their best wishes for the success of his venture which has been described as the swimming equivalent of climbing Mount Everest.

Dementia awareness IN the lead up to World Alzheimer’s Day which was yesterday (Wednesday September 18), the Benalmadena Council has worked closely with the Association of Relatives of Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias of Benalmadena (AFAB) to raise public awareness of the problem.

There was an open day at the AFAB Centre in Arroyo de la Miel yesterday and today the organisation will take part in a conference at the Pablo Ruiz Picasso Cultural Centre in Torremolinos and then on Friday returns to the town to set up a Memory Tent in Calle Blas Infante in Arroyo where people will be able to find out how good their memory is.

The long term aim of both AFAB and the council is to be able to raise funds to open a centre for those struggling with Dementia and their families in a time when the disease is growing as people live much longer than ever.

Urban improvement MONEY has been available in order to allow to areas of work to be undertaken at a total cost of more than €875,000.

The council has managed to bring forward unused funds from last year’s budget as the work that needs to be undertaken has become urgent, with some potential public health problems if not completed.

Last Monday, workmen started tackling problems with leaks in the general area north of the marina adjacent to the Paseo Maritimo.

It is estimated that work will take 54 days with hundreds of metres of asphalt replaced as well as the addition of new paving and LED lights and the projected cost is €450,000.

The other major development will be remodelling of Calle Mirasierra which had been planned to commence earlier in the year but was postponed due to the disruption that would have been caused in the busy summer months.

It is intended to improve drainage (as there has been some flooding due to sewer problems), water pipes, street lighting, new pavements, replace road signs and install litter bins.

The original budget for this second area of work was more than €630,000, but the council has managed to have the entire project undertaken for €422,000 thus making a massive saving on the anticipated cost.

N OW that the children have returned to school and the bulk of holidaymakers have left, it has been decided to remove the rescue and lifeguard services from Fuengirola beaches with immediate effect on weekdays. There will still be a weekend service generally from 11am to 8pm which will be kept in place until October 27.

Karate Kid A YOUN G athlete from Fuengirola, Gabriel Romero Madueño has just become National Junior Karate Champion at the recent Spanish Karate Championships.

Sardine delay DUE to a poor weather forecast, the Sardine event which was due to take place last Friday on the beach at Los Boliches was postponed until tomorrow (Friday, September 20).

So if you would like to take advantage of this and enjoy a drink and a sardine for just €2, then the tasty tapa will be available next to the Roman monument, from 1pm to 4pm.

Organised by the Fuengirola Council its intent is to raise funds for AFA, AECC, AVOI and Cooperation Honduras and is possible because local bars have donated goods whilst the council will supply tents and chairs.

The research project will have an estimated cost of € 200,000, for this reason Chloe’s mum has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Gofundme.com (Proyecto-Chloe-Cocofishgo).

More than 150 relevant Spanish personalities from the world of entertainment and sports are participating in the campaign to support Chloe and her family and to increase the visibility of this rare disease.

A general election has been called for Thursday October 17 which is the same date as the next meeting of the European Council and the Chief Minister said that the planned departure from the European Union

was one of the key factors in fixing the date of the election, especially given there could be elections in the UK soon and on November 10 in Spain.

Although there will be no MPs sitting in Gibraltar prior to the election, Fabian Picardo and the Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Garcia will be attending UK party political conferences as previously intended.

Mr Picardo made it clear that he intended to stand for re-election as he believes that he has the experience

Governor Edward Davis (left) received request to dissolve Parliament from Fabian Picardo.

Think Business, Think Gibraltar PRIOR to the call for a General Election, the then Gibraltar government launched a UK campaign to try to encourage British companies to relocate to the Rock after Brexit.

The campaign which will run for the next two months and Think Gibraltar advertising will be displayed on the side of some 300 taxis, 100 buses and in 40 key commuter stations in the city of London and the West End in-

cluding London Bridge, Liverpool Street and Waterloo.

The newly created ThinkGi braltar.gi website focuses on five main industries: Insurance, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), Gaming, Funds and Private Client, all industries where Gibraltar believes it excels.

The campaign promotes the fact that although Gibraltar complies with British and EU financial directives, both

corporate and personal taxes are very attractive as they are lower than the UK and most of the EU and VAT is not charged.

Much will be made of the close links that the Rock has with the UK and the fact that entry to Gibraltar via air links will be easy for those holding British and other passports, although the recent closure of the airport may sour the promotion slightly.

Closure of Airport GIBRALTAR is proud of the fact that it has daily flights to and from the United Kingdom and generally flights are only cancelled or diverted due to adverse weather conditions.

Last Sunday however, all three international flights were cancelled due to a shortage of Air Traffic Controllers and this has caused considerable irritation to local politicians and those unable to fly as well as the airlines involved.

Although the runway is controlled by the British Ministry of Defence, the actual job of air traffic control is handled by the National

Air Traffic Services (NATS), a private company which works in most UK airports.

One of the air traffic controllers reported in sick and none of the off duty controllers was prepared to attend at short notice, hence the need to close the airport for passenger safety.

There appears to be nothing in any of the controllers’ contracts to make them attend in such a situation and with Brexit looming, the then government issued a press release urging NATS, the MOD and Unions to take immediate action to ensure that this problem does not arise again.

and background to deal with whatever situation arises with Brexit and said it was the wrong time to trust novices or ‘has beens,’ political experiments or political spent forces when the people of Gibraltar face what could be a very difficult time.

AN army armoured personnel carrier crashed into another military vehicle after it swerved to avoid a herd of reindeer in Lapland, leaving 22 soldiers from the Kainuu Brigade injured in the incident and needing hospital treatment

A MYSTERY illness has left 25 dogs dead or seriously sick in 14 of the country’s 18 counties.

Although the cause is unknown, experts say that humans cannot catch the disease from their pets.

No benefit

Less meat

A SURVEY by the Business and Policy Forum EVA has found that 60 per cent of people are opposed to the introduction of a basic universal income, saying social security claimants should have reasons for getting benefits.

ABOUT one in four Norwegians say they choose to eat less meat to contribute to climate change measures, writes NRK with more than 600 tonnes less red meat sold so far this year compared to last.

Output up

INDUSTRIAL output jumped 2.9 per cent in July com­ pared to the same month in 2018.

The rise was driven by energy and consumer goods according to the National Statistics Institute (INE).

The general industrial production index has been volatile in recent months, with falls in April (2 per cent) and June (1.9 per cent) and rises in May (1.6 per cent) and July (2.9 per cent). Energy industry out­ put rose 8.3 per cent and consumer goods 5 per cent.

Brexit warning letters

MORE than 90,000 warning letters have been sent to businesses who export to the UK by Spain’s tax authorities.

They are advising recipients of the adverse effects of a no­deal Brexit and recommending that precautions are taken to mitigate against the ef­ fects of such an event.

Amongst the factors listed in the letters are the new customs, tax and health­related rules that businesses will have to follow to trade with the UK if there is no deal.

Of most concern for Spanish com­

By Dilip Kuner panies is potentially having to meet new health and quality regulations that might be imposed on food and animal exports to the UK. And red tape is set to increase hugely, with each shipment requiring a customs form, going through cus­ toms controls plus the payment of tariffs and other duties.

Meetings between tax officials and business associations, companies and customs specialists have been held to discuss the trade and border­related problems related to Brexit.

The Spanish government has put contingency plans into place, and the Finance Ministry, which is largely re­ sponsible for the customs service, has been planning for a no deal scenario for months.

Air and sea ports have been as­ signed more resources to deal with the extra workload expected. While the customs paperwork is not expect­ ed to be a major problem the need to meet new regulations not just for food and animals, but also medicines and chemical products is a big con­ cern.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Must proxies be signed?

I arrived at our recent AGM with all my proxy votes correctly done, signed and dated. An­ other person arrived with 44 proxy votes, but only three of them were signed. When I questioned the administrator about this, his reply was: “Take us to court.”

Can you advise where the College of Property Ad­ ministrators is located for Alicante? I wonder if our administrators are members. Do all proxy votes have to be signed? Can an EGM be called?

R H (Costa Blanca) Article 15.1 of the Law of Horizon­ YOU AND THE tal Property pro­ LAW IN SPAIN vides for proxy rep­ resentation at the AGM and states that, ‘a written authorisation signed by the owner is sufficient…’ to es­ tablish this. You can indeed take them to court to im­ pugn the results of the vote. It is a risky business unless you can show that the community has suffered loss.

The Colegio Oficial de Administradores de Fincas de Alicante has a very complete website at www.coafa.es.

Be advised that community administrators are not legally required to register. If you assemble one­fourth of the owners, you can call an EGM. Why not discuss this with your president?

Seat to China

THE Seat and Cupra bands are set to expand into China and Chile.

CEO of Cupra and Seat’s commer­ cial vice president, Wayne Griffiths, says that the former is preparing to start selling in China, while the lat­ ter will enter the Chilean market in the next few months.

Griffiths stressed that Seat must have a more diversified geographic presence and grow beyond Europe.

“We’re doing it in North Africa, we’re starting our development in Latin America and we’re preparing to reach China in two or three years,” he said.

BUSINESS EXTRA

Busy times for AENA AENA airports handled 186.8 million passengers in the first eight months of the year, 5 per cent more than in the same period last year, with Madrid’s Adolfo Suarez leading the way with 5.8 million in August alone.

Opening up THE number of new companies rose 1.6 per cent in July compared to the same month in 2018, to add 7,820 companies, while business dissolutions increased by 9.2 per cent to total 1,622, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE).

Cuban law SPANISH hotel chain Meliá has been included in a class action lawsuit filed in a federal court in Florida under the Helms-Burton Act for doing business deals involving properties confiscated in Cuba after the 1959 revolution.

Deficit under control ACTING Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has said Spain’s public deficit is controlled. He told Congress that the nation’s deficit will close the year at 2 per cent of GDP and expects that the economy will have grown by 2.2 per cent by the end of 2019.

Replying to criticism from the President of the PP, Pablo Casado, who pointed out that ‘inertia is over’ and asked him to ‘fix Spain,’ Sanchez said: “For your peace of mind, Mr Casado, the deficit is under con­

trol. At the end of 2019 it will be 2 per cent of GDP, a reduction of 0.5 points compared to 2018. We must be doing something right.”

Sanchez has recognised a cooling of the econo­ my, blaming ‘trade tensions’ and the adoption of protectionist policies by countries like the United States. But he referred to estimates from the Euro­ pean Commission and said that “Spain will continue to grow and lead” the European economy.

Nuclear fall out

By Dilip Kuner

ENRESA, the stateowned company in charge of scrapping Spain’s remaining nuclear power stations does not have enough money.

Now the government must decide whether the extra bill is paid only by the electricity companies or al­ so by the user.

Endesa, Iberdrola, Natur­ gy and EDP, the companies that own the plants will have to face an extra bill of just over €4 billion for the power stations’ scrapping.

In addition, users should al­ so contribute, via their electricity bills, an addition­ al billion.

This is according to the latest report of Enresa, pub­ lished just a few days ago, which sets the cost of the complete dismantling of nu­

BUSINESS EXTRA

Cash injection

by Iberdrola SPANISH electricity company Iberdola is using cash from the 40 per cent sale of its East Anglia wind farm to increase the capital of subsidiary Scottish Power by £1.36 billion (€1.523 billion) to safeguard it against Brexit.

Loans ruling clear power plants at an in­ flation adjusted total of €14.113 billion in a process that will last until 2070.

In addition to scrapping, other costs would have to be borne. Above all, the treatment of waste. In to­ tal, the bill for the entire nuclear blackout and waste management would amount to an inflation ad­ justed €15.449 billion.

At the moment the de­ commissioning fund is around €5 billion short of what is needed.

Bankia trial extended A TRIAL investigating alleged irregularities in Bankia’s initial share offering (IPO) in July 2011 has been extended for another week.

It is now scheduled to end on Wednesday, September 25, more than 10 months after oral evidence started to be heard.

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office began its final presentation on September 2. It raised from four to 15 the total number of people for whom it is asking for a conviction by including the crime of false accounting, which it added to

previous charges of swindling investors.

Now investors’ group 15MPaRato is asking for the conviction of 21 individuals, while consumers’ group Adicae has maintained its accusation against 34 people.

Ignacio Ayala, the lawyer of former Bankia president Rodrigo Rato, has blamed the Bankia case on an “unlucky accident,” saying “everything was done with the best intention.”

In 2016 the Supreme Court ordered Bankia to repay small investors as the IPO was misleading.

THE Supreme Court has ruled that people cannot be evicted from their homes until they have a debt equivalent to 12 months payments or 3 per cent of the capital loaned in a case about unfair mortgage terms.

Block bond BANCO SANTANDER is issuing a $20 million (€18 million) bond using ‘blockchain’ technology, with financial director José García Cantera, saying the technology will be faster and make the bond more transparent for its clients.

14th Edition 2nd – 6th October 2019

Worldwide accolade ARTISTS and their films from all corners of the globe are brought together to display their talents to the commercial world at Marbella International Film Fes­ tival.

The event is growing in stature and receives contin­ uous worldwide accolade, recognition and support for its contribution to the arts.

And organisers are thrilled to be presenting the 14th Marbella International Film Festival from Octo­ ber 2 ­ 6, 2019.

The Festival has expanded considerably since its launch in 2006 and now has additional collaboration and association with the Marbella Town Hall and Tourist Board, Marbella Film Office and the Andalucia Film Commission.

During the Festival organisers host five glamorous evening events with many

The Magic experience

ROCK up to the 14th Marbella International Film Festival for the Costa Blanca Magic Mirror experience.

The company, run by Steph and Fran, offer a fun and novel photography ser vice which allows people to see themselves in a mirror-like screen which takes their picture and applies overlays including emojis and frames.

And they rent out the Magic Mirror device for parties, weddings and other events.

Fran told the Euro Weekly News her and business partner Steph were among the first in Spain to get a magic mirror.

“It’s great to bring fun and joy to people and to see them enjoying themselves whenever we go to an event with the Magic Mirror,” Fran said.

networking opportunities, culminating in the grand Gala Awards Ceremony.

Attendees come from all over the world and include filmmakers, industry professionals, exhibitors, digni­ taries, celebrities and VIPs, special invited guests and of course the rich and famous.

Dad was cad about town IN his previous life, writer director Geraint Anderson was a city banker where he admits to having been a bit of a ‘cad about town.’

He blew the lid on the corruption he saw around him through his popular anonymous newspaper column City Boy and went on to write a best seller of the same title based on his experience.

A year after he quit the city he met his then wife to be and within three years had become a dad and moved to the black mountains in his home country of Wales.

Leaving London behind was a relief he says and one of the reasons he’s particularly proud of his first feature film Trick or Treat that’s unashamedly northern and filmed in Blackpool.

He said: “Blackpool is a unique place. We went there during the illuminations which gave us a lot of visually exciting opportunities for us. You definitely know we’re in Blackpool.

“There are so many films made in London and we felt this was a great location. We sold it as a psychedelic northern Lock, Stock. I hope the accents aren’t so strong that it prejudices foreign audiences.”

He says it was hard work, and, had he known how hard it would be, he might have changed his mind about making the film.

He said: “It was not an easy thing to make a film. If I’d known how difficult, I would have had second thoughts about going down this path, but it was one of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever done.”

Anderson also says it was a subject close to his heart focussing on depression and mid-life crises in men.

“It’s about a former gangster who’s become domesticated and is struggling with depression. This is an important subject. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45.

“I know lots of men who, like me, are older fathers. Going from being a cad about town in the city to being the third tier of priority for my wife, and going from being a selfish hedonist to not having only myself to spend my money on is a bit of a shock.

It’s an important theme I think.”

Anderson is looking forward to Marbella International Film Festival and says the whole cast is excited about the premiere.

He said: “We’re all really looking forward to the film festival.

This is our global premiere. It’s a great festival; fairly unpretentious and manageable because you don’t get lost in the noise.”

SOMETIMES, it’s not what you know but who you know Actor Craig Kelly, widely known for his role in Queer as Folk and as Luke Strong in Coronation Street, clearly knows his stuff.

BUT it’s who he knows that turned a script idea into an award­nominated movie in just five weeks of shooting.

The entire cast of Trick or Treat, which pre­ mieres at the Marbella International Film Festi­ val on Saturday October 5, are Craig’s personal friends.

This is his first film ­ co­scripted and pro­ duced with brother­in­law Gerraint Anderson ­ and the biggest buzz of his career so far.

“This was the best experience of my career.

The energy and dynamism throughout the whole thing was wonderful,” he said.

“Gerraint is my brother­in­law and a best mate. Three years ago, we came up with the notion we wanted to make a film about some­ CRAIG KELLY: “The hardest part has been waiting for it to be released.”

RUB shoulders with the stars and feel like a celebrity at the Marbella International Film Festival as a guest of the Euro Weekly News.

There will be movie stars and TV stars galore at the most glamorous event in the calendar and you can join us for the gala dinner and awards ceremony.

Put on your glitziest gown or tuxedo and enjoy a cocktail recep­ tion followed by a five­course din­ ner including wine and entertain­ ment.

You will meet all the stars includ­ ing Larry Lamb, Kris Marshall, Jason Flynn, Frances Barber, Craig Kelly and the cast of the Rise of the Foot­ Soldier plus many more actors, film

thing interesting that we were experiencing.

“We and so many of our friends were men in our 40’s who used to be young, free and single and suddenly here we were changing nappies.

That got us talking; how many films are there dealing with a man dealing with a mid­life cri­ sis?

“Gaz wrote the script ­ I helped him with it ­ and when we thought it was a great little script, I sent it to all my mates, and when they said yes, we went out and knocked doors down and raised the finance for it.”

One year later they were on set shooting in Blackpool after securing half a million pounds and the movie is already being picked up by digital networks such as Netflix.

Although the cast would have worked for nothing, Craig was determined to make sure everyone was fairly paid and to attract the best

talent to create a work worthy of the big screen.

Craig said: “The whole experience had a magic to it. The film is really entertaining. The subject is something very interesting and the quality is amazing.

“When you have just five weeks to shoot it, you have two to three takes and it’s gone. In some ways that’s great because there’s no time to get bored or frustrated.”

Craig is excited about the Marbella festival and can’t wait to see the public reaction.

“I can’t wait to get to Marbella and see what the reaction is. We’re proud of what we’ve done and how good it looks. Hopefully people will love it and it will get good reviews.”

And before the film is even premiered, Craig is already thinking about their next movie, and isn’t fazed by the prospect of raising the bar

with a bigger budget.

He said: “You’ve got to make a great film to make another film. We’ve got lots of ideas but it depends on how well this is received. There’s no point asking for lots of money for a next project until you can show what you can do.

“If this makes money and does well, it will be a lot easier to get the money for our next project which hopefully may not be so low­ budget.

“We were absolutely passionate and we were just not going to take no for an answer.

We were hungry and knew we’d got a good script and a great idea that appeals to people.

“The months before shooting were so exit­ ing. It was a joy. It didn’t seem like hard work at all.

“The hardest part has been waiting for it to be released.”

Meet your idols directors and producers.

The Gala Dinner and Awards Cer­ emony takes place on Sunday, Oc­ tober 6 at 8.30pm and goes on to midnight at the H10 Andalucía Plaza, Puerto Banus.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT ONE thing I have learned over the years is that you should always be prepared to admit being in the wrong. Seeing an antagonist’s aggressive expression change when you quickly accept the blame can be quite rewarding.

Often they can think of nothing to say at all and their whole confrontational attitude crumbles into an embarrassed mumble.

Well, today I can quite happily admit to be­ ing in the wrong. I did set out this week to pour scorn on the latest snowflake scheme to introduce programmes which would ad­ dress the transgender needs of animals!

Under ‘you couldn’t make it up’ I was preparing to cite two women, who recently appeared on television advocating plans to respect and assist transgender penguins and sexually confused dogs! Before I began the piece I decided to do a little research.

To my surprise, I subsequently discov­ ered that this whole scenario has in fact been studied in some depth and there are actually quite a number of species who have shown examples of transgender and homo­ sexual leanings. No,it’s not only your friend­ ly local rabbit or randy little pooch, prepared

Diverse planet

TRANSGENDER PENGUINS: A reflection of our diverse planet? to hump just about anything that stays still long enough ­ but a whole selection of the animal king­ dom on this diverse planet of ours.

One which I found most endearing was a magnificent beast called Mmamoriri. Sporting an impressive mane, Mmamoriri is a Lion/ess living with a pride in the Okavango Delta Botswana. Looking for all the world like a

large male, the animal actually has the sex or­ gans of a female. She is a beautiful specimen and appears to live in complete harmony with the rest of the group. She is in fact an asset, as the more males appear in a pride the larg­ er the territory they can control.

So, although I admit to being on com­ pletely the wrong track in this instance, I still rather fail to see why animals in these cir­

cumstances need any ‘help.’They actually seem to be coping perfectly well on their own. Perhaps it’s the complete acceptance of those around them.

Something to be learned there perhaps?

Not sure I’d want to get close enough to Mmamoriri to offer any counselling anyway.

Oh and by the way, she actually has a deep­ er roar than the all other pride males. Very butch dear!

Totally enjoyed my ‘live’ appearance on the EWN Facebook page this week. Sorry for the slight technical difficulties. Mind you it was Friday 13 and Mallorca was in the throes of an approaching tornado. (Leapy’s law!) Perhaps if there is a next time it will be a little more trouble free.

Thanks to all of you who entered into the ‘spirit.’ And once more many thanks to this great paper for its indomitable dedication to the freedom of speech. Many happy returns to my beautiful daughter Melanie. On my way to the fancy dress birthday bash in my usual ‘drag’! Homophobic ­ Moi? Keep the faith.

When will it all end?

NORA JOHNSON

BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

THIS summer, an exam board was forced to defend a GCSE maths question involving calorie counting after being criticised on social media for causing distress to pupils with eating disorders.

Another because an excerpt from an unseen text was taken from a classic book involving rape though the passage in question made no reference to the rape.

Is it April 1 again, already? Can this be serious? Are children to be so protected that they can’t be presented with innocu­ ous real­life scenarios?

Neither anorexia nor rape should be treated lightly, but encouraging young people to collapse in a heap at a mere hint of life’s unpleasantness is absurdly counterproductive. But nowadays every­ thing upsets somebody apparently.

Next we’ll be told they can’t answer questions about the witch craze in history in case it upsets Wiccans. Or Dick Turpin

OVER SENSITIVE: Can students no longer be presented with innocuous reallife scenarios? because of the evident masculine focus of his name and the fact he was a highway­ man and not a highwayperson. Chem­ istry: no noble gases, because that’s elitist.

Presumably, too, we’ll ban history, as it’s about wars and dead people; Geogra­ phy as it might mention tsunamis and people drowning; Maths as it tells you that you can’t calculate the last digit of pi.

It’s almost the same as the university stu­ dents studying biology etc who demand trigger warnings if part of the course in­ volves seeing dead bodies. I’m sure most would have no problem. It’s only the at­ tention seekers who make a fuss. If they’re that sensitive, why apply to study subjects like biology? When will it all end?

And to think that, 75 years ago, ‘kids’ of around the same age were storming

beaches in northern France under heavy artillery to liberate Europe from Nazi rule.

Could there be another ‘story’ that more starkly illustrates the total antithesis be­ tween those brave souls and the inverte­ brates of today?

Perhaps newspapers should place a trigger warning above these ‘offended’ / ‘feeling hurt’ stories. Maybe something like: ‘Warning! The following is unsuitable for older readers. It may cause extreme ir­ ritation or outrage...’

Keep the money in-house MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man AS corporations start to eat up small companies, some of their logic becomes impossible to understand.

Like the near impossibility of contacting anybody directly, other than a robotic ‘help’ person who never actually helps you at all. I remember years ago I was in Las Vegas, in a bar in the Hilton, and sat for a few hours with friends drinking and nibbling at the pretzel snacks they provided.

Six months later I was in the same bar and ordered the drinks and when they arrived there were no snacks with them. When I asked why the waitress informed me that the hotel was now being run by another division of Hilton and the accountants had looked at the amount of money being spent on ‘free’ snacks which was running into several mil­ lions of dollars each year. She was also fed up having to answer the same question hun­ dreds of times a day.

Anyway, 12 months later I was there again.

I should mention this was purely for business

at the time. Well, maybe I did have the odd game of poker too. I was back in the same ho­ tel, same bar and being served by the same waitress. I ordered a round of drinks and they duly arrived along with a big bowl of pretzels.

I said wow that’s a quick change of mind, what was that all about? I loved the answer.

She said the accountants had looked at the money that was being saved not serving the salty snacks was being wiped out by the loss of sales of drinks. What the accountants had­ n’t realised that the reason they gave away salty snacks was to make sure that the pun­ ters were always thirsty. Something some clever worldly person had worked out years ago, but who was long gone as the hotel got bigger and bigger.

All the little things that seemed to be com­ plimentary were, in fact, brilliantly worked out ways to get as much money from the cus­ tomers as possible, but at the same time make them feel that they were getting some­ thing for nothing. Something that should be remembered by the massive companies now that do not care anything about their cus­ tomers because they more or less monopo­ lise the field they are in.

The hotels in Vegas know the customers have a massive choice and they need them in there and they try and give them a good ex­ perience to keep the money in their hotel.

A WORD of warning to anybody who rings the 11840 number for information about trains.

Don’t!

I am planning to travel from Xativa (Valencia) to Alicante later this week but then the Gota Fria arrived, affecting trains in Murcia.

Murcia comes into it because the train I usu­ ally take finishes there and so does the train I re­ turn on.

After repeatedly being put on hold by Renfe’s 912 320 320helpline I decided to ring the 11840 number I found in Google and appeared to be an alternative Renfe helpline.

I’ve no idea if it is, but it costs €3 a minute al­ though being in a hurry I thought it would be worth it. It wasn’t: I got through to an operator with a strong South American accent who had never heard of Xativa and when she finally got the message said as far as she could see all was well. Even I knew that was wrong and told her so. I tried the Renfe number again and this time waited and waited. And waited.

It was worth it and cost me nothing be­ cause the operator told me the time of the only train to Alicante that evening. It took time, but at least it cost me nothing.

Name and address supplied

Leapy like a car crash YOU are like a car crash; you know you should avoid looking at all the s*** and gore but you can’t do it.

Please give it up. You are sounding like one of the loony, frothy­mouthed, swiv­ elled­eye Nazis. What makes me sick more than anything (and yes I have recently had a disagreement with a turd spouting Brexit) is those who hate the EU so much, but just love to sit drinking two­euro pints in the sun all day shouting about how great England is.

Just do one please.

Mike Tanner

More sure than ever I HAVE realised that the remainers have been right all along when they say I did not know all the true facts before voting to leave, and it’s true! We WERE lied to appar­ ently ­ so I decided to do a little research.

I just voted to leave because I thought our sovereignty was being compromised by foreign unelected masters. That we were

compelled to have unlimited uncontrolled im­ migration, our laws and export agreements dic­ tated by Brussels bureaucrats ­ and had to pay eye­watering amounts for the privilege.

However...

I did not know more than 10,000 EU officials get paid more than our Prime Minister.

I did not know that, unlike the UK, 18 coun­ tries get more back from the EU than they put in. I did not know that the EU occupies over 45 buildings.

I did not know that the EU Parliament spends €150 million a year moving to Strasbourg every month for four­day committee meetings.

I did not know that the EU has had a huge luxury shopping centre built in Brussels for ex­ clusive use of EU employees.

I did not know that the EU had been financ­ ing the mass movement of industries from the UK to mainland Europe.

Apart from all that, everything’s fine and any­ thing Boris does to upset the silly and biased lit­ tle Speaker and other pant­wetters in Parlia­ ment gets my full backing!

If this was in the UK, that poor lamb would be suing our police for aggressive arrest and reporting it to the police investigation team. Good to see ‘zero tol­ erance’ in action.

POOR old Spain. A long hot summer has just finished.

With the sunny dry weather came a seemingly non-stop string of forest fires.

As tens of thousands of hectares burned and thousands of people were evacuated, people affected could be forgiven for wishing for a touch of rain and cooler weather.

What they got however, was much more than they would have wanted. The so-called ‘Gota Fria’ or ‘cold drop’ came rolling in across swathes of eastern Spain.

Once more thousands of people had to be evacuated as rivers burst their banks, people were trapped on rooftops and some 300,000 hectares of citrus and other crops destroyed.

While the fires that raged across Spain brought destruction, worry and distress, at least there was the sense that something could be done against them.

The thousands of firefighters and military personnel mobilised had great success in protecting life and property with, in the end, relatively few people directly affected by the flames.

But there was no escaping the Gota Fria - the worst in 140 years. Those same emergency services now had a different task. But what they could do was limited. They could help with the evacuations and with the clean-up afterwards, but there was precious little they could do to hold the waters back.

Even then, there is little doubt that without their efforts there could have been significant loss of life. So thank you to the emergency services from all of us. Yet again, we owe you.

Now we want to hear your views.

NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England ONE million euros a week looks a lot like this, but do add on expenses. Fuel, food and beverages, plus of course tips.

Built as a family yacht for pleasure but with an eye to the charter mar­ ket where the Superyacht SOLANGE commands a fee that starts at €1 mil­ lion per week. At 85.1 metres length overall and a beam of 13.8 metres the yacht has extraordinary volume.

Interior designer Aileen Rodriquez remarked when the yacht was deliv­ ered: “The unique mix of rare and striking materials gives the yacht its ultimate look and luxurious style.”

The main entrance is dominated by the Tree of Life, a glass sculpture rising some 16 metres from the tank deck to the bridge deck, though the staircase winding round the lighted glass column where more than 1,200 points of light suggest tropical rain and coloured glass flowers bloom.

The staircase is itself contained within walls panelled in antiqued Venetian mirror and edge lit hand carved art glass. Nearby an elevator

Toys and entertainments; a cine­ ma is almost expected on a supery­ acht and so yes it’s no surprise to find one. However, the cinema is re­ ally luxurious, so is the fabulous day head conveniently close to it. Spread across the six vast decks there is also

a removable sundeck dance floor with a console for a DJ and disco, lights and all. A hot tub or jacuzzi is also expected and SOLANDGE has two hot tubs and, to top it all, a six­ metre pool on the bridge deck aft equipped with a jet stream to swim against. Besides which is a chro­ matherapy spa with hammam and massage room.

There is a galley tasked to create culinary delights, there are numerous deck spaces close by and open to the sea, which bring guests into more inti­ mate contact with the elements.

SOLANDGE sleeps 12 guests in seven staterooms including a master deck featuring 180 degree windows and private deck with a spa pool.

While each of the cabins has its own unique colour scheme the deco­ ration of each room reflects the opu­ lence found throughout SOLANDGE. Handmade Italian furniture and high­ ly intricate stonework, mother of pearl inlays ensures that everyone on board is able to sleep in absolute luxury.

Waking or sleeping, at rest or at play, 29 crew ensure that every care is taken of up to 12 guests whether at sea, in shore at anchor or calling at marinas around the Mediterranean.

Charter SOLANDGE from only one million euros for each fabulous week. Alternatively travel to the prin­ cipality of Monaco next week [Sep­ tember 25 to 28 ] for the Monaco Yacht Show and compare several su­ peryachts.

“Imperii fundamento fingitur excellentiae.”

“Our empire was forged on the foundation of excellence.” ­Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus, last Emporer

Gladiator spirit BEARING the name of the infamous artistic and cre­ ative Roman Emperor, Nero Claudius Caesar, Augus­ tus, Nero Premium Vodka promises to be a spirit to compete with the big guns.

The new privately­owned vodka, launched this year, claims to be the world’s first true sipping vod­ ka, and 100 per cent British from ingredients through to distillation.

And it’s fair to say that Nero Drinks Company Ltd, brainchild of CEO Nicola Morrissey, is already mak­ ing waves.

Together with husband Johnny ­ Brand Ambas­ sador and a huge Gladiator fan ­ Nicola has set her goals high, aiming to become the largest privately­ owned vodka brand in the UK, with a second base in Marbella.

She has invested significant time in researching the market and hand­picked several partners to work alongside her.

“All processes at our award­winning distillery in London are overseen by an exceptionally skilled dis­ tiller with five generations of experience in produc­ ing potato vodka.

“We are fortunate to count several famous celebrities among our friends and acquaintances and our product will be launched across our range of social media with endorsements from them.”

Nero Premium Vodka is two years in the making and will be officially launched in Spain next spring.

“Before that we will be at Marbella International Film Festival on October 4, as we are sponsoring the VIP premiere of Rise of the Foot Soldier featuring Terry Stone,” Nicola told Euro Weekly News.

“It’s all very exciting. We have had so much posi­ tive feedback and people are already approaching us. We are very proud to have a 100 per cent UK brand, everything from the ingredients, capsules

and packaging to distillation.

“It’s been a long journey. The whole process has taken two years. We knew we were onto some­ thing when we started winning tastings.

“We wanted honest opinions so Johnny started setting up and taking part in tasting sessions. We have so far done 27 and won them all. It all came about through Johnny. With our roots being Scot­ tish and Irish we were going to do a whisky, but that has to be in a barrel for four to five years. “We looked at gin but everyone is doing that.

“Vodka is still the number one spirit sold world­ wide. In the past, people tended to drink one brand, but now people are picking premium brands. We did a lot of research in bars asking what premium brands they sold and what sort of point of sale and after support they were receiving. We dreamed of coming up against the big boys and now people are approaching us.

Costa del Sol celebrity chef Steven Saunders, owner of Little Geranium, tried Nero Vodka and loved it so much he is going to stock it and created a recipe using it. Nicola and Johnny also plan to hold an event centred around their product at his restau­ rant.

“We want to support all new customers who stock Nero. We are offering the full package, offering point

of sale mate­ rials. We are big on customer support and want to make sure people re­order. We have created our own signature cocktails with the help of a mixolo­ gist.”

Nicola explained that being produced from Jersey Royal and Maris Piper potatoes instead of grains, “the distinctive character of Nero Premium Vodka resembles hints of vanilla with fragrant tones of cit­ rus and almost no alcohol on the nose.

“The extra levels of sweetness from the potato starch in Nero’s scent set it apart from the heavy ethanol burden commonly present in grain vodkas.”

Nicola stresses that Nero Premium Vodka feels creamy on the palate with a “soft and clean flavour profile.” On the tongue, “it is smooth, almost velvety, as there is little to no burn after tasting. The tones are the most prominent when Nero is served without ice, water or mixers. For the purest tasting experi­ ence, it can be sipped neat or served on the rocks.”

“We have received so much support here on the coast and in the UK, it’s fantastic. We are extremely excited about the future. We are also committed to promoting sensible consumption of alcohol and are proud to have registered with the Government’s Drink Aware scheme.”

Nero Premium cocktails “We are about the whole package and have a cocktail expert who has created delicious cocktails using Nero Vodka. We are incredibly excited about this,” said Nicola.

NEROTINI Ingredients: 3oz Nero Premium Vod­ ka, 1oz Galliano. Garnish: lemon peel Method: Shake all ingredients to­ gether with ice and lemon zest in a cocktail shaker. Fine strain into a Gal­ liano rinsed martini glass. Add gar­ nish and serve.

THE FALL OF ROME Ingredients: 2oz Nero Premium Vod­ ka, 1oz apple juice, 0.5oz lychee syrup, 10ml lemon juice, 1 egg white.

Garnish: dry rose petals Method: Shake all ingredients to­ gether in a cocktail shaker. Fine strain into a martini glass. Add gar­ nish and serve.

COLOSSEUM

Ingredients: 2oz Nero Premium Vod­ ka, 1oz lemon juice, 0.5oz sugar syrup, 1 egg white, ice. Garnish: lemon zest rose Method: Shake all ingredients to­ gether with ice in a cocktail shaker.

BLOODY NERO Ingredients: 2oz Nero Premium Vodka, six cherry tomatoes, 3oz

tomato juice, celery, salt and pep­ per. Garnish: chili flakes or fresh oyster Method: Muddle your tomatoes and tomato juice with Nero Premi­ um Vodka. Add celery salt and pepper. Shake all ingredients to­ gether in a cocktail shaker. Fine strain into a short glass. Add gar­ nish and serve. Purest Bloody Mary ever!

Guilt free premium tipple ONE of the benefits of a potato vodka like Nero Premium is the fact it is low on calories when combined with the right mixer.

In fact, a measure contains less calories than a glass of wine.

In addition, Nero is: Gluten Free Alcohol ABV 40 per cent Free of artificial sugar Low in carbohydrates “We have carried out indepen­ dent laboratory testing with SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certifica­ tion company,” Nicola told EWN. “We also carried out a full nu­ tritional test on the vodka that provided us with the facts that it has less calories than a glass of wine and is low in carbs.”

And Nicola and Johnny have carried out 27 taste testings us­ ing eight different premium vod­ kas including Nero.

“The judges were people in the alcohol trade and con­ sumers, and they all chose Nero as their favourite vodka every single time,” said Nicola.

LEO (July 24 - August 23)

Feel sympathy for those who lack the gift of insight. Their lack of understanding upsets you, but their horizons are narrow. This is a time of giving to yourself. Look forward to some time away or indulging in something that really relaxes you. Should you be searching for someone special, they may be closer than you know.

You know in your heart that you should take control of your future.

This is a time to talk with others and consider their thoughts. At the end of the day, however, you are the one who has the final say.

Socially, it is sometimes confusing to have more attention than you are used to.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)

This is not a time to drift into things because the planets are urging you to take control and forge ahead. Let others know exactly what you want and expect from them. If you do not, others will make decisions for you that could prove less desirable.

At times this week you will feel that a certain relationship is not developing along the right lines.

Although it seems that your efforts are often in vain, this is a situation that requires thought and patience on your part. It is perhaps a good time to look to your business matters for a change of scene and to set your mind on a more constructive course.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Someone who appears to be putting themselves in the way of your progress could simply be trying to help. They may have a valid point to make but just not be good at expressing themselves.

Be aware of this because there could be a link to your health and love life.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) With your mind sharp and energy high, you want to make fast progress and, indeed, you can.

You are only too aware of the time that has been wasted waiting for others. Now, most of that may be dealt with. See how others react when you do not.

Leaving others to their own devices works better than nagging. Your lack of interest could worry them.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When you meet opposition try to use persuasion and logic to win the day. Failing that, you may decide that ‘enough is enough’ and forge ahead, anyway. In this positive mood you find yourself attractive to the opposite sex.

That does not mean you have a right to be pushy. Just use your charm. Combining business with pleasure could lead to trouble, so try to keep these two areas separate.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There is a strong feeling of 'self' this week, and you realise that you have many things to be thankful for. These thoughts come after a period of uncertainty that saw a lack of progress. With this feeling of renewed inner strength, it is now

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) You should not feel responsible for the failings of others. Although you may think you could have done more in a certain situation, it is unlikely that any significant difference would have resulted.

This is a busy time but also one in which a small persistent voice will be heard: the voice of logic and practicality. Listen to it.

A long-term relationship has its wobbly moments this week, but all is not lost. Listen to your heart as it speaks louder than any other voice. You know what you need but that may conflict with what you feel you should want. In an ideal world, these two areas would be in harmony. Give a little happiness to others and your own heart will be lighter.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Making firm decisions in your love life may prove difficult. Do not be rushed. This is far from a straightforward week and you need to remember how to relax.

You are able to deal with what comes your way but it is upsetting to find that someone has been less than honest.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your sense of balance in the universe could be upset, but do not let this sour either your thoughts or your character. You are in the eye of the storm so take this time to think. A bit of care and attention is what you need and you know where to find it.

BY NICOLE KING THEY say a change is as good as a rest, but I feel I need to say that a rest is also bloody marvellous!

For the first time in five years I did­ n’t record Marbella Now during Au­ gust and I feel so much better for having taken a break. It took me about 12 days to gradually pull my­ self away from work and I only re­ alised that I’d managed to finally dis­ connect when I couldn’t work out what day of the week it was.

In fact my only bearing on time re­ volved around getting reminders from the Editor at the Euro Weekly about my column.

I’ve come back to the TV raring to go, which is just as well as the months ahead are going to be in­

Marbella Now 230 was recorded with Carlos Martinez of the RTV Marbella camera crew. tense and each week we’re going to have to fit in a lot of people if we’re going to let you know even the half of what’s happening.

Our first return programme, airing

on RTV Marbella and online week commencing September 16, was recorded at the Art Caffé: a combina­ tion of art gallery and chic coffee bar (now also a #ZeroHero partner).

We start off with an interview with Lynn Fisher, organiser of the Mel Williams tribute. Together with recordings from the event we hope to share the love and admiration that our international community have for Mel and Sally.

Pedro Molina is an Andaluz artist with a rich and varied personal and professional history. He’s talented and engaging.

We chat with Massimo Cedrini, main artist at the Excellence Gallery at Art Caffé and curator Giuseppe Carnevale; as entertaining as ever and most generous hosts.

Mario Bravo, Economist, represen­ tative of the PP for Mijas and Presi­ dent of the English­speaking Rotary Club for the same municipality is the embodiment of ‘if you want it done, do it yourself’ and an example to the rest of us that complaining doesn’t cut it; action does.

Two new faces for me are Melanie Sievernich and Anne­Marie Simak

who join us to present their ‘Beauty and love yourself breakfast’ event at La Sala on September 24.

We welcome back Charo van Hulst of the Butterfly Children Charity who introduces us to their new intern Amber Bresser and we pop over to the Paloma Blanca Boutique Hotel to meet Colm Fitzpatrick to find out more on the International Irish Music Festival this coming weekend (Sep­ tember 20 ­ 22).

Next week we’ll be recording Mar­ bella Now from the Paloma Blanca Boutique Hotel and welcoming many more interesting locals. The hotel has free ample parking, great restau­ rant and pool bar and Sophia is offer­ ing Marbella Now viewers a 20 per cent discount if you mention our show upon arrival any day, or night, of the week so feel free to pop in and check the place out!

THERE are many myths and beliefs surrounding food and cancer; what we should and shouldn’t eat, but what are the truths?

The Spanish Group of Can­ cer Patients (GEPAC) said whilst eating a healthy diet is obviously beneficial for health in general, there is no such thing as an ‘anti­cancer diet.’

GEPAC compiled a docu­ ment listing over 70 false myths relating to foods that are claimed to have anti­ cancer properties.

These include: Soybeans. An excellent source of protein, soy con­ tains several phytochemi­ cals, which are chemical compounds naturally occur­ ring in plants. Some of these have a slight estrogenic role in animal studies that seemed to offer protection against tumours that de­ pend on hormones.

However, at present there is little information to demon­ strate that soy supplements can reduce the risk or have a protec­ tive effect against the develop­ ment of tumours in humans.

MANY experts now believe sugar is just as deadly an addiction as drink and drugs, with many people consuming far too much.

Whilst it may be easier to lay off the sweets and chocolate, nutritionists say it is the hidden sugar in foods that catch people un­ aware such as in pre­made pasta sauces and baked beans.

So what can you do to help wean yourself off sug­ ar?

Scared of the doctor’s office?

Is there such a thing as ‘anti-cancer foods’?

SOYBEANS: An excellent source of protein.

Green tea. Laboratory and ani­ mal studies show that green tea is a powerful antioxidant, but there is still more information to be developed. It may be a good

option to increase fluid intake when a person is undergoing can­ cer treatment, but experts point out that you should not drink more than two to three cups a

day as some studies have even suggested that high consumption may have some effect on treatments.

Red fruits. Whilst high­ ly beneficial, this does not mean that it can cure or prevent cancer if con­ sumed regularly as some believe. During treatment it is key to ensure the dai­ ly consumption of around three pieces of fresh fruit, and the more varied the better.

Turmeric. There is cur­ rently insufficient evi­ dence that its consump­ tion can prevent cancer or have beneficial ef­ fects during treatment as clinical trials are still under­ way. Some studies also suggest that high amounts of turmeric may interfere with some drugs used in chemotherapy treatment.

DO you put off that trip to the doctor for fear of bad news? If you do, it seems you are not alone.

A report suggests that a third of us delay appointments with mid­ dle­aged men being the worse cul­ prits. Women in general are more likely to attend screenings and seek medical help, with men more likely to suffer symptoms for longer.

The report by 2020 Health said many had fears of the physical ex­ amination and the hospital and medical environment and around a third of those questioned avoid­ ed the doctors because they had a fear of finding out they may have serious illnesses such as cancer.

Researchers said smokers, heavy drinkers and those who are overweight, were less likely to want to hear bad news about their health and feared they would be told to change their lifestyle.

Wean yourself off the addiction sugar balanced and avoid low blood sugar that will make you want to go and get something sweet for a quick fix, eat smaller amounts more regularly.

Don’t go longer than three hours without eating, espe­ cially women, or your

blood sugar levels will drop too low and your body will give you a craving for something sweet.

Weaning yourself off sug­ ar can be easier for some than others. Some may prefer to go cold turkey, others gradually reduce it.

First, after removing from the house the obvious sources, such as chocolates and cakes, it is recom­ mended to take out of your diet all the savoury foods that contain added sugar.

Savoury foods such as sauces like Dolmio, which changed its packaging to show the sugar content, contain added sugar so look for healthier or home­ made versions to remove this added sugar. Other foods deemed healthi­ er such as yoghurts and cereal bars can also contain high levels of sugar so check the la­ bels.

Next, stop adding sugar

to your hot drinks and oth­ er foods such as cereal.

Checking the package of your cereal will show you there is al­ ready sugar in it.

Detoxing from sugar can be difficult and it is normal to struggle with headaches, cravings, tiredness, spots and an upset stomach, but after the initial first few days your body will start to recalibrate itself. Cutting out sugar can reprogramme your taste buds and can im­ prove your body, mind and mood, helping you to sleep better, have brighter and clearer sight and be less stressed.

Achilles Tendonitis

WWW.THEBODYWORKSCLINIC.COM

THE Achilles Tendon is the largest tendon in the body but also the most frequently ruptured. It connects the calf muscle to the heel bone and works with the Plantar Fascia underneath your foot.

Symptoms: • Pain and stiffness in the tendon (back of the leg) in the morning or after resting.

• Pain at the back of the heel, worse with ac­ tivity.

• Severe pain after exercise.

• Swelling and thickening of the tendon.

Achilles Tendonitis can occur in two different ways, in younger, active people it can often cause a lump or thickness in the middle of the tendon.

In less active people it is often associated with heel spurs and plantar fasciitis.

What are the causes?

A dramatic and sudden ‘pop’ on the sports field after a twisting movement.

But more commonly Achilles Tendon pain is the result of repeated stress to the tendon as you move, jump, run and walk. Some sports add in­ creased stress such as football, padel or basket­

DON ’T IGN ORE THE PAIN : A little problem requires less treatment than a big problem.

ball with their short, fast runs and sudden twists.

Men, over 30, who exercise are the most likely to have Achilles Tendon issues.

Top down or bottom up?

But these sports add additional stress to a problem that already exists. If your heel rolls as you walk it twists the tendon where it joins the heel bone. Add sports with twisting movements and this creates additional pressure in an already

unhappy environment.

A tendon has many, many, MANY ropelike strands ­ as these get twisted and rubbed against the bone you can get teeny, tiny mi­ crotears which start to cause pain and in­ flammation What to do?

Prevention is better than cure!

Tendons have a poor blood supply so they are

VERY slow to heal, they can take two to three months to settle and it might be longer before you can exercise, so early intervention and pre­ vention are very important.

• Warm up thoroughly and THEN stretch be­ fore exercise.

• Make sure your trainers have a good heel cushion.

• Get a proper gait analysis to understand how to reduce the tension on the tendon.

• Rest and use an ice pack if there is any swelling.

Don’t ignore the pain ­ a little problem requires less treatment than a big problem. If you are get­ ting pain in the heel now get it treated before it becomes a big, expensive problem.

If you do have a ‘big’ problem then Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MRT) increases the blood supply to the area so is the most effective treat­ ment for this condition. It is also highly recom­ mended after any surgery to the area to ensure a complete recovery.

Avoid cortisone injections at all costs ­ these cause the rope­like fibres in the tendons to break down and ‘fray,’ making a rupture much more likely. They also mask the pain making it more likely you will push too hard.

LETTERS FROM CANARIES

Into September, fingers crossed

By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com AUGUST’S wildfire in Gran Canaria, with 10,000 evacuated, destroyed 9,200 hectares of protected natural space, homes, livings, livestock, ways of life. It could happen again.

We’re very vulnerable.

Experts and politicians are meeting (and lunching) now to produce the final cost figure, without which no disaster is complete. New Canarian president, Ángel Víctor Torres, said: “It’s too early to be exact, but it’ll be millions.”

The relevance of these damage assessments is questionable, given the limited comparisons they invite, like ‘fire x was worse than y.’

What’s dangerous (though safer ground for politicians) is that these interpretations distract attention from more important issues. Can money anyway reboot lost communities? Doubtful, especially for those which were horribly aware that, with no help to clear tinder around their villages, they’d burn. Requests for help fell on deaf ears.

They burnt.

But the big, really important, never asked question, is: ‘How much would it have cost to avoid

Here’s a conversation I had in California (still shaky after a big fire here): Friend, helicopter pilot Mike: Hey Barbara.

What happened in the fire on La Gomera?

Me: Dreadful... I thought of you often, the firemen and plane and helicopter pilots were heroes...The problems came at night... You know... Everybody has to pull out when it gets dark... the wind changes...the fire picks up.

Mike: What? Pull out at night? Why? Me: Erm, well... you can’t fly at night...

Mike: Whaaaat? You’re kidding? Only by day? No way! No NVT? Me (shocked): No! What’s NVT? Mike: Night vision technology.

Me: Is it new?

Mike: Naah, the infra-red’s old. We’ve had it since the 70’s, fitted into old Huey choppers from the Vietnam war. There’s a bunch of newer stuff too.

So there it is.

Californian firefighters have special night

flying equipment, but ours don’t. NVT of course exists in Europe, but is mostly used by airforces to hit targets and kill people more efficiently in the dark, while firefighters exhaust themselves all day fighting fires, then night comes and the fire’s left to do its worst.

A kind of one step forward, two back cha cha.

To get things in perspective, we don’t even have a single hydroplane based in the Canaries, let alone one with NVT, although a fleet of 20 F18 Hornet fighter planes is based at Gando, should we feel a sudden desire for war.

A www.change.org petition for a permanent hydroplane and helicopter base quickly attracted a quarter of a million signatures, unsurprisingly. Fires are an exponentially increasing risk, everywhere. Even the Artic’s burning. Why are we ostriching reality and not tooling up for the obvious?

A bigger Gran Canaria fire in 2007 (19,000 hectares burnt, 20,000 animals killed, 400 homes lost) ‘cost’ €80 million. Demands then for hydroplanes or helicopters were brushed aside in favour of spending €127 million on a new transport system for capital La Palmas, Metroguagua. The money could have bought 5 CL215T Canadas hydroplanes at €26 million each, on hand to fight this summer’s fire immediately.

CELEBRITIES

Sun-soaked getaway FORMER Made in Chelsea beauty Louise Thompson, flaunted her amazing physique as she enjoyed a sun­soaked break in Ibiza with fiancé Ryan Libbey this week.

Posing for the camera in a floral bikini, the 29­year­old showcased her gym­honed fig­ ure, while her soon­to­be­hus­ band took snaps.

The reality star kept it natur­ al with her brunette locks pulled high in a ponytail and

very little make­up.

Back in June, it was revealed Louise and her fellow fitness fanatic fiancé had postponed their December wedding after the beauty confessed she ‘did­ n’t feel ready for it.’

Louise and Ryan have since confirmed they are getting wed abroad next year.

The pair first met in the summer of 2016 ­ when Louise was still with Alik Alfus ­ and she employed Ryan as her per­

LITTLE MIX star Jesy Nelson ex­ uded sex appeal and confidence as she took to the stage in Madrid for the first night of the LM5 tour.

The 28­year­old beauty shared her experience with online bullying in a re­ cent BBC Three documentary Odd One Out. During filming, she bravely revealed she tried to take her own life in 2013 after being named the ‘fat, ugly one’ in the band. Jesy has since been praised for her openness and branded a role model for girls everywhere.

Little Mix then changed into racy black leather leotards with red ribbon trim to belt out numerous hits.

Jesy’s suicide revelation comes after she con­ fessed that at the height of her bullying, following the group’s 2011 X Factor win, she took an over­ dose, but was saved by her boyfriend at the time.

Yazmin accused the 32­year­old fellow reality star of cheating on her while on holiday in Turkey.

And she looked determined to show him what he was missing as she stepped out in a revealing, plunging white body­ con dress which showed off her incredible figure.

Joining her for a night on the town was Amber Turner, 26, Courtney Green, 24, Chloe Meadows, 26, and her new BFF Chloe Brockett, 18.

The girls spent the evening enjoying a lavish dinner and plenty of cocktails.

The trip to Marbella comes after Yazmin declared she was in love with herself to her ex­boyfriend James.

HAPPY TO POSE: Taking a break from filming, old and new cast members.

TOWIE return to the Costa del Sol

NOW that The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) is in its 24th series, there is no doubt that it has become a real part of the British psyche and has made stars out of a number of quite pleasant but basical­ ly unremarkable people.

This year, in a change from the norm, it is filming an overseas section last rather than first in the se­ ries and many of the long serving cast are delighted to be returning to Marbella after trips to Sardinia and

Thailand.

There are eight new cast members in the 2019 line­ up, many of whom have never visited this popular Spanish party resort before and on Tuesday, a group of 13 cast members including Bobby Norris, James ‘Diags’ Bennewith and newcomer Joey Turner were relaxing whilst being filmed at the popular La Sala by the Sea in Puerto Banus.

Although not a secret assignation, as the beach

club was open to the general public, visitors were discour­ aged from photographing the stars, not by the very friendly TOWIE group but by the filmmakers.

They were however happy to pose for your reporter from Euro Weekly News and one of the group even said that it was his favourite newspaper on the coast whilst others expressed their pleasure to be returning to this party capital or visiting for the first time.

ALTHOUGH there is no guaran­ tee who will lead the Gibraltar government following the Oc­ tober general election, the cur­ rent Chief Minister is in discus­ sion with the Cirque du Soleil about a visit from them next year.

The initial concept is that a brand new show should be cre­ ated which would be based around the history, heritage and culture of the Rock and its di­ verse people and that this should run for at least one month in spring or summer 2020.

The Cirque du Soleil touring show ‘Kooza’ is currently set­ tled in Malaga City and will be at the fairground until October 13.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala prepares a dish great enough for the Gladiators!

What we do in life… ..Echoes in eternity!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com vWHEN I was a young boy I loved a band called Nero & The Gladiators who were a rock and roll band, I was a tiny kid. Nero was played by Mike O’Neill who wore a toga and a laurel wreath crown and the band wore Gladiator costumes.

In or around 1994 when I was film­ ing a TV cookery quiz show called Eat Your Words with Loyd Grossman at Granada TV in Manchester and I met up with Mike O’Neill who told me that they had reformed the band and were playing oldies like Entry of the Gladiators (a piece originally written by composer Julius Fucik). Most of us know this classical piece played as the opening of a circus. Nero and the Gladiators did a faster version using electric guitars, it was never a big hit because BBC radio banned playing rewritten versions of classical songs.

A few years ago at a party thrown

by EWN owners Steve and Michel Euesden I met up with two great en­ trepreneurs, John and Nicola Morris­

(A saying from Gladiator Maximus) sey. John is a larger than life charac­ ter who told me about some of their exciting projects highlighting the pro­ duction of their newest creation…

Nero vodka.

I loved the name because it re­ minded me of the 60’s band and I waited patiently to see when the vodka would materialise and at one point I assumed that it had been abandoned as I had not heard any­ thing.

Then John and Nicola were having dinner in my restaurant and en­ thused about the production of Nero which was going to be imminent! “I want some!” I said not only because it is British, but it’s made from pota­ toes and not grains (wheat) which most vodkas are now made from.

I met up with John and Nicola at their home this week and Nicola ex­ plained to me that one of John’s pas­ sions is the Gladiators and the Ro­ man Empire, hence they called their vodka Nero.

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus was the fifth Emperor of the Roman

Steven with John and Nicola Morrissey.

Empire and was just 16 when he took the throne. He brought an end to blood sports and punishment and promoted poetry and athletic com­ petitions instead.

“Nero was an amazing Emperor, Nero vodka is an amazing vodka,” Nicola said. “What makes Nero vod­ ka stand out from the crowd is that it is gluten free (ie not made with grains) and it is made with no addi­

tives, sweetened naturally by the potatoes instead of sugar or artificial sugar, it’s ideal for vegetarians and vegans also,” she added.

“We also only use quality potatoes like Maris Pipers and we distill in Lon­ don using the best distillers who are in the main Polish.” Nicola explained that because of the way it is distilled it has fewer calories than a glass of wine or a gin and the finished prod­

uct is smooth and velvety and has aromas of garden flowers and citrus.

I tried it last night with my wife Michele and honestly, it is the best vodka that I have ever tasted! Al­ though it is more of a sipping vodka it mixes brilliantly. Michele and I love a good vodka and we both comment­ ed on its creamy smoothness and the fact that it has no after burn and no real alcohol aromas are left lingering, although it is 40 per cent volume.

“I want to see how I can incorpo­ rate it into food,” I said and so I im­ mediately set to work with some ideas and came up with this ab­ solutely delicious dish that you really should try.

Gladiators had a mainly vegetarian diet but would eat fish if they could get hold of it! By the way if you can’t get hold of Nero vodka which will be on the shelves in Spain soon, then email Nicola nikki@nerovodka.com she might send you some samples!

Great food is about using great in­ gredients, Nero vodka is going to be the greatest!

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

Nero vodka cured salmon sousvide SOUSVIDE is a really on trend way of cooking very slowly to keep flavours in and the ingredients soft, juicy and packed with flavour. Below I show you a way to sousvide without a machine!

• Ingredients for eight Marinade mixture 1kg piece of skin­off salmon fillet 1 heaped tablespoon sea salt and two heaped tablespoons of caster sug­ ar Zest of 2 lemons 100ml of Nero vodka and more for the shots!

1 bunch of fresh dill (or chives) chopped very finely for finish 1 flat tablespoon of wasabi mustard 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise Juice of ½ lime

• For mini Blini (optional) 1 tablespoon of spelt flour, 1 egg separated (whites whisked to peak) 2 tablespoons of milk 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda Maldon salt A little wakame seaweed pickled cucumber and micro cresses to finish Method 1. Cover the salmon side totally all over with the salt, sugar and lemon zest and put into a baking tray and cover with the vodka 2. Once it has been curing for two hours remove from the fridge and rinse under cold water, making sure that there is no salt mix left on the salmon, and then pat dry with kitchen

towel and taste check. If the flavour is weak, pour more vodka over it and leave for another 30 minutes.

3. Once patted dry, cut the salmon into 8cm long and 4cm wide pieces and roll each piece tightly in cling film to create sausage shapes. Tie the ends of the rolls of the cling film, knotting them tightly ensuring that there are no air pockets. Refrigerate.

4. To sousvide the salmon without a machine pour hot tap water (55­60°C) into a tray deep enough to completely submerge the salmon. Place the salmon pieces still wrapped in cling film into the tray and leave for 10 min­ utes. After 10 minutes, turn the salmon over and leave for a further 10 minutes. This process has only partial­

ly cooked the salmon.

5. Once ready, remove the salmon from the water and chill.

Set aside in the fridge until needed 6. For the wasabi mayo, place the mayonnaise in a bowl and add the wasabi and a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoning.

Put into a squeezy bottle and keep in fridge.

7. For the blinis mix together all the ingredients and fry like a pancake and then when cooked on both sides re­ move and cut into tiny 3cm rounds.

N ero vodka cured sousvide salmon

To construct and serve Remove the salmon from the cling film and brush the top of each piece with a little olive oil and then top with the chopped dill. Arrange on the plate with some pickled cucumber, wasabi mayo and little blini. Serve with shots of ice cold Nero vodka on the side!

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.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can

always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA.

Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about rehoming, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way.

In 1940, the first four-wheel drive car for the US military was produced. It was called the Jeep.

FIAT’S 500 range has quickly cemented itself as one of the most popular small car ranges available, with funky looks, attainable price tags and a range of options.

However the Italian marque are not resting on their laurels with the launch of a new member to the 500 family.

As the larger, family friendly 500X turns five this year, and with a slew of rivals biting at its heels, Fiat has brought to the table a sportier and more aggressive Sport version of the popular compact.

Whilst stopping short of an all­out performance car like the Abarth range, they have however gone fur­ ther than just adding new stockers and a higher price.

As well as new bodywork and im­ proved engine performance, the most important difference is the specially tuned chassis components.

The suspension has been stiffened ALL these years on, does the Dodge Viper hold its own in today’s world?

Nearly 25 years ago, the Dodge Viper was a popular sight adorning the walls of teenage boys’ bedrooms along with scantily clad mod­ els and rock bands, but does the legendary muscle car still

FUNKY LOOKS: The 2019 Fiat 500X Sport. by 10 per cent and a 13mm reduction in ride height compared to standard models, giving the car a more purpose­ ful look and a more planted riding feel.

The power steering has been remapped for a sharper feel and an op­

tional 19­inch wheel package makes for an incredibly well handling car.

Visually the designers have created an appealing package, with dark grey headlights, body coloured side skirts and a large rear diffuser hugging a

dual chrome exhaust differentiating the Sport from the standard 500X. The interior follows much the same direction too, with sporty Alcantara steering wheel, a dark roof lining and tasteful grey detailing on the dash.

The new model comes with either a 118bhp 1.0­litre three­cylinder or 148bhp 1.3­litre four­cylinder petrol engine, the latter offered exclusively with a six­speed dual­clutch automatic gearbox with paddle shifters.

Torque figures sit at 199lb ft from 1850rpm, which gives the car an excit­ ing mid range whilst the adapted steering and the feather like throttle response all add to the car’s sporty feel.

Interior spec is what you would ex­ pect from a modern compact, a sev­ en­inch infotainment screen gives all the usual functions and is Apple Play and Android Auto compatible.

Ambient lighting, keyless entry and trim options are available options to add to the appeal of the new sporty model.

Prices start at £16,235 for the 1.0­ litre version, climbing to £24,700 for the 1.3 range topper.

1996 Dodge Viper GTS cut it in today’s society, where performance cars have reached such great heights.

In short, the answer is no, but what you do get is a unique experience where raw power meets basic rugged­

ness to provide a scary, yet life affirming experience that will both terrify you and en­ thral you in equal measures.

So let’s start with some his­ tory, the Viper was revealed as a concept car at the 1989

Detroit Motor Show. It then took three years for the engi­ neers at Dodge to bring the concept to life with the first model rolling off the produc­ tion line in 1992.

First incarnations of the car were not greatly received, with the engine being the main cause for criticism.

The original plan was to use the LA360 V8 with two extra cylinders bolted on, however internal ownership issues led to the final produc­ tion engine becoming a bit of a ‘what’s in,’ borrowing parts from both Dodge and Chrysler’s parts bins.

A shake up happened dur­

ing 1995 when the whole en­ gine and chassis were up­ graded, and a new GTS ver­ sion came on to the market.

The engine was increased to over 450bhp and the drive­ train setup was refined.

Later versions of the mk2 model would go on to be­ come the iconic sports car that would set hearts racing.

Driving the car is a visceral experience, a hefty shove is required to get the car into first and a mixture of the long travel clutch pedal and the delicate nature of the acceler­ ator meant that pulling away was a fine art.

Once moving, the first

thing you notice is the noise, the car rumbles and knocks in a sound that only a highly tuned American V8 can make, much more guttural than the V10s and V12s coming out of Germany of Italy.

Another surprising feature is the surprising amount of front end grip the car has.

With over 450bhp spinning through the back wheels the car remains planted and only when a little too heavy on the throttle, does the back end become playful.

What soon does become apparent is that once the novelty wears off, the cheap plastic interior and the un­ comfortable driving position becomes a problem, and the constant in your face attitude of the handling and driving becomes less of a joy and more of a chore.

The car, whilst not quite a supercar, is more of a mod­ ern day hot rod that stands in a category all on its own, with no real peers, and with rela­ tively low price tags for early models and very little me­ chanical issues on early exam­ ples, owning a bone fide clas­ sic piece of motoring history is a very doable ask.

Classic Car Club of Andalucía

Eleven Years Young and Counting…

ELEVEN years young and still rocking on! The CCCA proved that it is most certainly THE classic car club in southern Spain and probably among the very best in all of mainland Spain! In fact, it’s probably one of the best Clubs around, even without the mantle of classic cars about it!

That was the opinion of many who came along and enjoyed the 11 year ‘Birthday’ celebrations earlier this month. The Clubnight and party at Treetops in El Chaparral was a huge success with the lovely terrace there rammed with over 130 enthu­ siastic and happy people.

Entertainment was provided by Elena Paul and the dining experience was first class thanks to the staff of the Treetops Restaurante. Famous honorary members were in atten­ dance including former McLaren team boss Jo Ramirez, ex­Jaguar Le Mans racing driver Win Percy and Formula 1 luminary, Pat Symonds.

All thoroughly enjoyed the occasion!

With just a few days to recover, next on the event celebration list was the Classic car run and lunch the following Saturday. Almost 100 peo­ ple turned up at Venta Los Almen­ dros, just up the Ronda road above San Pedro, to enjoy a breakfast and register for the run which was due to depart at 11.00am.

The registration process was rather hectic due to having well over 40 cars, but the ladies of the Club had it all under control and cars started to head out, one by one, in the direction of Ronda just a few minutes after 11.00 and after a briefing given by event organiser and Club Presidente, Ian Giles.

To say that the club has a cos­ mopolitan membership is something of an understatement as there were participants from the UK, Ireland, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Hun­ gary, Holland, Belgium, France, Ger­ many, Finland, Switzerland and, of course, Spain! International? Most certainly!

The quality and the variety of cars was something special too, with some superb American cars includ­ ing a new Corvette C7 ZR06 R and a

Cadillac Eldorado from Arnie Hille and Danny Grietens. Kenny Rogers look­alike Kenny Schlosser brought out yet another beauty from his collection, this time a Ferrari Testa Rossa Convertible.

Another C5 Corvette was en­ tered by Barry and Julie Surtees and a black Camaro came along driven by Mar­ tin Hall.

A couple of Bentley GTs gave a classy feel to the day along with a stunning Rolls Royce Spirit from Arthur Richardson and the most beautiful, yellow Rolls­ Royce Cloud convertible was en­ tered and driven by Tony and Trish Minta.

A brace of Jaguar F­Types, one driven by former works Jaguar driver, Win Percy, this one navigated by Jane Jackson, were most welcome and Spain’s Antonio Mendoza and his lovely English wife Barbara brought a fabulous Mercedes 190SL. A number of Jaguars, Mercedes, MGs and a couple of Porsches made the list too and it was a de­ light to see the gorgeous, orange Porsche 911SC Sport of Gerry Denn who has been off the Club and clas­ sic car scene for some time due to illness. The Club was delighted to see him along with his wife, Kirsti, navigating.

One of the regular helpers of the Club, Angela Sharp, was very excited to be driving her ‘new’ Mini Cooper S JCW convertible, a car that made everyone smile! Angela was navigat­ ed by her sister, Lizzie Marriage.

Once cars were under way they had a simple drive up the long climb to Ronda where they then turned off in the direction of El Burgo. This part of the route was quite stunning, the scenery changing all the time as the cars sped along across the top of the Sierras de Ronda before dropping down into the little town of El Burgo.

From here the route took a small but beautiful road in the di­ rection of Ardales, turning off be­ fore there to go up and over the mountain before dropping down in to Casarabonela. In the woods

SUPERB: A variety of cars participated.

above this little town was the first stop for a celebratory glass of Cava.

Through the winding and sweeping roads over the mountain the convoy was headed by a fast­ moving group comprising of Ian Giles in a modern AMG Mercedes, Win Per­ cy in a Jaguar F­Type and John Lane in a very new BMW M850i. These three certainly seemed to be enjoying them­ selves and the glorious, traffic­free An­ dalucian roads!

Onwards from here to Zalea where the next pit­stop was for cof­ fee or a beer and a tapa at Bar La Herradura. All cars were running well and no­one had had any naviga­ tional problems!

After coffee came an easy run back up the A­355, passing Coin and Alhaurin going in the direction of Mi­ jas, but turning down towards Entr­ errios and the taking the Mijas Golf road to join the main A­7.

Cars started to arrive at the Safari rooms of Club La Costa World around 3.00pm after a really enjoy­ able 140 Kms to be welcomed with a glass of Cava before enjoying a superb lunch provided by Club La Costa World. A jazz band played the afternoon away prompting some dancing as well as dining and a good excuse to continue the 11­year celebrations!

All agreed that the route had been superb as was the quality of the lunch and the service. The Club will be going back there soon!

There is more to come in Octo­ ber including a dinner, a one­day classic car run and then a seven­ day Tour Al Andalus taking in Tole­ do, Lisbon and other places. The Entry List for this event is absolute­ ly full and there will be a report on the event in this page in due course.

Until the next time,

CLASSIC CARS: Over 40 took part in the run.

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.

SEVILLA sat on top of the league after Sunday’s round of games.

They came away from Alaves with a win through a free­kick from Joan Jordan in the 37th minute. That put them on 10 points, one ahead of Atletico Madrid.

They were firmly in control for most of the match, putting seven shots on target and hitting a post.

Alaves by contrast could not manage a single shot on target, although Manu Gar­ cia’s diving header whistled just wide.

Sevilla host Real Madrid next, while Alaves look to

find some form against form team Athletic Bilbao.

Eden Hazard made his Spanish league debut with Real Madrid in a 3­2 win over Levante on Saturday, with Harim Benzema scoring twice and Casemiro once.

Barcelona look to have found a new star. Just two minutes into the defending champion’s 5­2 win against Valencia at Camp Nou, 16­ year­old Ansu Fati scored in his first league start for Barcelona.

Five minutes later, he as­ sisted Frankie de Jong, be­ coming the league’s youngest player ever to score and as­

sist in the same game.

Atletico Madrid lost their undefeated record when they went down 2­0 to Real Sociedad in San Sebastian.

Martin Odegaard opened the scoring with fullback Na­ cho Monreal tapping in a sec­ ond chance inside the box from a rebound off goalkeep­ er Jan Oblak. Sociedad take

on Espanyol next.

Meanwhile Granada are another Andalucian team showing good form. They travelled to Celta Vigo and earned a 2­0 win leaving them tied with Barcelona in seventh on seven points.

This match probably was not a great indicator of the relative strengths of the

teams as Celta were down to just nine men before the half hour was up.

Fran Beltran and defender Jorge Saenz both got straight reds.

German Sanchez and Yan­ gel Herrera both scored for Granada, who host Barcelona next.

Elsewhere, Celta Vigo hope

to not look half as bad as they travel to the nation’s capital to take on Atletico Madrid.

Eibar 1­2 lost 1­2 at home to Espanyol, while Valladolid and Osasuna drew 1­1 as did Real Betis and Getafe.

Mallorca drew 0­0 with Athletic Bilbao while Leganes lost 0­3 against Villareal.

World champions!

SPAIN are the basketball world champions.

They comfortably beat Argentina, 95­75, in the Final of the FIBA Basket­ ball World Cup 2019.

Spain always looked to be on top af­ ter having the better start.

They scored 14 of the game’s first 16 points, although that is not to mean Argentina sat back and accept­ ed their fate.

The South Americans repeatedly cut into Spain’s lead, but the Spanish repulsed every Argentine charge to keep their cushion.

For the first time in the World Cup, Argentina’s veteran big man Luis Scola was held scoreless for an entire half, which had a huge say in denying Ar­ gentina’s challenge for their second World Cup trophy.

It was a tremendous win for Spain who in basketball terms took Argenti­ na apart with a clear 20­point win in Beijing, China.

The Spaniards, who were eliminat­ ed from gold­medal contention at the last four Olympics by the USA (includ­ ing in two finals), benefited from the Americans’ early exit last week.

JUST CHAMPION: Spain took the title in China.

The USA finished seventh, its worst result ever in a major international tournament, after losses to France and Serbia. Coach Scariolo’s side never let up the pressure, intensifying their ag­ gressiveness on both ends of the floor as the game progressed, disabling Ar­ gentina from turning the tide and en­ suring an eight­game sweep of the World Cup. Ricky Rubio had 20 points to lead Spain, which also got double­figure scoring from Rudy Fernandez, Marc Gasol, Sergio Llull and the Hernan­ gomez brothers. Argentina were led by Nicolas Laprovittola and Gabriel Deck, with 17 and 24 points, respectively.

A N i n c re d i b l e f i n i s h s a w Europe snatch victory from the jaws of defeat as they won the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2013.

Suzann Pettersen holed the de­ cisive putt on the 18th green to send thousands of fans at Glenea­ gles into raptures.

Team USA were left devastated after they failed to secure the half point they needed to retain the trophy from any of the last three matches.

Anna Nordqvist beat Morgan Pressel 4&3 and Bronte Law over­ came Ally McDonald 2&1 leaving the whole match resting on the re­ sult between Pettersen and Mari­ na Alex. They were both on the 18th green and with makeable putts for birdie.

Captain Catriona Matthew had picked Petterson as a wildcard and the decision was justified when she rolled in an eight­footer to give Europe the point they needed after Alex had missed her effort.

In a truly exciting final day the tie had swung one way and another, until it looked like the USA had final­ ly wrestled away the advantage.

Marquez overtakes Hailwood with 77 GP wins

by Dilip Kuner MARC MARQUEZ has become the fourth most successful rider in Grand Prix history.

He took his 77th career victo­ ry at the San Marino GP to go past Mike Hailwood’s tally of 76.

In a thrilling battle Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha), who led from the start, was overhauled on the last lap.

Maverick Viñales (Monster En­ ergy Yamaha) completed the podium with teammate and nine times champion Valentino Rossi in fourth.

Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati team) could only manage sixth in Ducati’s home GP, behind Franco Morbidelli’s Petronas Yamaha.

After a promising morning warm up session where Marc Marquez finished first, the Rep­ sol Honda team entered the 27­lap San Marino Grand Prix with confidence.

Marquez made a flying start

RECORD: Marquez is now fourth on the all-time list. to the race and moved to fourth by the first corner, quick­ ly progressing up to third just a few corners later. Muscling past Viñales on lap four, the World

Championship leader set about closing down the almost one­ second lead of Fabio Quar­ tararo.

The Frenchman’s advantage was soon reduced to just two­ 10ths, Marquez electing to wait for his moment to attack. As the laps ticked down, the reign­ ing champion began to edge closer and put increasing pres­ sure on the young French rider.

But it wasn’t until the last lap that he finally made his move.

Marquez had the run on Quartararo on the start/finish straight and led into turn one.

Quartararo got a good run out of turn two and turn three though as the rookie came straight back.

Into turn four they went, Quartararo was back at the summit but the back straight

MARQUEZ: Made a flying start to the race and moved to fourth by the first corner. and turn eight provided a gold­ en passing opportunity.

Marquez, late on the brakes, somehow managed to keep control and take the lead once more. Now it was Marquez’ turn to lose. There was no way through for Quartararo as Mar­ quez started to ride defensive­ ly.

Honda leave Misano extend­ ing their advantage in the Man­ ufacturer Championship to 60 points over closest rivals Ducati while the Repsol Honda Team

close the deficit to the Ducati Team in the Team Champi­ onship to just 25 points.

With Round 14, the Gran Premio Michelin de Aragon, taking place on September 22 the Repsol Honda team are keen to carry their momentum forward as they return to Span­ ish soil.

Marquez said of the race: “Honestly speaking, I knew it wasn’t necessary to win be­ cause I saw that Rins was out and Dovizioso was far from us,

but I had some extra motiva­ tion. I just tried to stay with Fabio as close as I could and in the end I was weighing up whether to try or not. On the last lap I decided to go.

“I knew Fabio was very fast in Sector Three, so I made my move before that and closed the corner as much as I could.

Fabio rode a very strong race today. I raced as smart as I could and in the end it is nice to win in Italy, but even nicer to have 93 points of advantage.”
