LET IT SNOW THE first snow of autumn was recorded on Sunday, falling on the peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) confirmed that there was a light covering of snow down to 1,000m as temperatures in the Tramuntana fell to a chilly 2°C. There were also heavy hailstorms which left coverings that looked like snow, where in the mountains, almost 70 litres of rain per m2 were registered by midday. A spectacular blanket of hail also took the city of Palma by surprise, with many vehicles suffering violent blows. Aemet has signalled the arrival of the Bernardo storm to Mallorca, the second major blast of the season which has been activated by wind, high seas and rain. On social networks, users shared images of other parts of the island, such as the Port de Pollensa, where many of its streets were covered with a white frosting of hail. CREDIT: Alberto Darder

CHANGE BUT NO CHANGE THE PSOE has triumphed at the 10N elections, obtaining 25.07 per cent of the total votes in Mallorca. Figures reveal that the PSOE was the most voted party in 24 municipalities, collecting 47,074 votes. The PP followed closely, amassing 22.26 per cent of the total votes (44,834) and regaining dominance in important municipalities such as Felanitx and Bunyola. Vox garnered 18.25 per cent (33,398 votes), consolidating itself as the third strongest political force in the island, with Podemos-EUIB taking home 33,166 votes (17.65 per cent). Citizens came in fifth with 7.45 per cent, followed by MésEsquerra (4.23 per cent), Más País (2.33 per cent) and PACMA (1.34 per cent). The results of the 10N general elections will mean a stark change for PSOE in Mallorca, with the PP regaining ground as
the most voted party in 17 municipalities. The loss of votes suffered by the PSOE has allowed the PP and Podemos parties to strengthen in towns where the socialists had once dominated. The political scenario left by the polls differs entirely from the results of the April 28 elections where the party gained 26.36 per cent of the total votes. The PSOE has expressed their satisfaction for having won the electoral vote in the Balearic Islands, with Francina Armengol, President of the Balearic Government and Secretary General stating that the new government ‘must allow
the country to get out of its blockade and solve the problems of the people, in a fight against climate change, violence against women and job insecurity.’ For Armengol, the bad news of the elections was the rise of the extreme right in the Balearic Islands, where she believes that “now more than ever before, we have to make the government stable and consider the needs of citizens in the Balearics.” Jorge Campos, the leader of Vox in the Balearic Islands, made it clear that the rise in electorates makes his party “a clear choice of government in
the regional and municipal elections, where Vox is here to stay.” According to provisional data released by the Ministry of Interior, the senators for Mallorca will be socialists Cosme Bonet and Sosanna Moll, as well as the popular Maria Salom, who obtained the highest number of votes.

STRIKE: Employees from EMT Palma will strike on multiple days in December and January.
Transport strikes THE company committee of the Municipal Transport Company (EMT Palma) has called for a series of strikes to be held in December and January in a bid to stop the ‘level of excessive exploitation and intolerable anxiety’ suffered by workers. Representatives of EMT will begin their protest on November 27 with a rally at Plaza de España in the capital. They also call for multiple four-hour work stoppages (from 8am to 10am and from 6pm to 8pm) on December 3, 5, 10, 12, 17 and 19. The committee also state that there will be 24hour work stoppages on December 24 and 31, with the start of an indefinite strike from January
1 of next year. Union representatives demand the regulation of travel times on routes to allow drivers to take lawful breaks. They also ask for more support from personnel in the administration departments, whose ‘insufficiency generates pressure on employees and bad service for users.’ In a statement to the press about the impending strikes, a representative indicated that ‘due to a lack of drivers, employees are finding it almost impossible to enjoy paid leave or holidays that have been pending for several years.’ They also denounce the excessive increase in overtime which is putting added stress on the workers.

THEATRE BIDS THE Llucmajor Council will invest over €800,000 to purchase a building of at least 1,000 m2 to turn it into a new municipal theatre. The council has already revealed two possible candidates, including the Recreational Theatre, popularly referred to as Cas Coix and the former Teatre Principal. Until November 22, owners of buildings which meet the purchase requirements will be able to apply,
with the town hall willing to pay up to €882,000 for the property. Once acquired, the council plans to modernise the space so that it can function as a theatre, where there will be exhibition halls, a space for historical preservation and offices for the Department of Culture and Tourism. To make this purchase possible, the council has a subsidy of €500,000 from the Tourism Accommodation Exchange.
Abuse of minor THE National Police have arrested a 33-year-old man for the alleged sexual abuse of his partner’s young daughter. The abuse came to light when the 13-year-old girl complained of pain in her intimate area to her mother, who made an appointment for her at the doctors where she was examined. On Thursday, November 7, the mother returned with her daughter to
collect the test results and was informed that the trauma was not typical for a child. The young girl then confessed that her injuries were the result of her mother’s partner who was abusing her. Healthcare personnel immediately notified the National Police who corroborated the facts with the young girl. They then located the alleged perpetrator in Palma, arresting him for the sexual abuse of a minor.

21 HEALTH & PRECARIOUS: Visitors can walk along the gorge’s steep walls.
BEAUTY
One of the most dangerous walkways PERCHED upon the walls of a frighteningly narrow gorge in the province of Malaga is a walkway called ‘El Caminito del Rey.’ The King’s Pathway is located in El Chorro lake district and is famous for its scary 100-metre drop. Initially, the walkway was built for workers at the hydroelectric power plant at Chorro Falls. They used the path to cross between the two sides of the gorge and transport materials. In
1921, King Alfonso XIII crossed the bridge for the inauguration of the Guadalorce dam. From that moment onwards, the pathway received its iconic name. El Caminito del Rey has been known as the ‘world’s most dangerous walkway’ after five people fell to their deaths between 1999 and 2000. Enthusiastic climbers would try and traverse the perilous path, but many sections of concrete were collapsed, with only narrow steel beams for support.
Following the inevitable accidents, the local government closed both entrances. For a decade, the gangway remained closed due to disrepair. But after four years of renovations and a €9 million budget, the walkway reopened to the public in 2015. Currently, the King’s Pathway is an emblematic tourist attraction and tickets are mostly sold out. Visitors can walk 2.9 kilometres along the side of the stunning gorge and observe the walkway’s history in the museum.
Promotion of smaller
Award for Iberostar
IN an effort to alleviate overtourism and attract smaller cruise ships, Palma is to diversify cruise visitors by promoting smaller ports. This year, the Port of Palma reached full capacity in terms of cruise passengers, welcoming over 2.2 million visitors by boat. At a round table event to discuss responsible tourism at the World Travel Market, Antoni Noguera, the former mayor of Palma, explained that “ideally, we would have a mix of small, medium and large ships visiting Palma, not just large ships that bring in thousands of tourists at a time.” The city is also trialling a dedicated app for cruise passengers to help them avoid overcrowded tourist areas. Welcome Palma features a heat map highlighting how busy the city’s main attractions are in real time, where passengers are alerted to the app when they disembark from Palma port.
THE Iberostar Group has been awarded the highest accolade at the International Travel and Tourism Awards in the category of ‘Outstanding Contribution to the Travel and Tourism Industry.’ The winners were announced at a coveted gala held in London last week which was attended by more than 500 professionals from the tourism sector. The International Travel and Tourism Awards are a benchmark in the industry, recognising the proposals of companies and business initiatives that stand out for innovation, human interest or commitment to sustainability. This year, the jury praised Iberostar’s effort to promote responsible tourism at their hotels, with their ‘Wave of Change’ movement eliminating the use of single-use plastics in all of their hotel rooms and at their global headquarters in Palma. The group has also made steps towards the responsible consumption of fish and the improvement of coastal health.

NEW AGE POLITICS OCTOBER 26 officially marked four years of political limbo for Spain. Starting in autumn of 2015 when Mariano Rajoy called for elections, a consolidated government hasn’t been formed since. Two general elections and a vote of no confidence later, meant Spaniards would have to visit the ballot boxes once again. Turbulence and disorientation reigned in the months running up to November 10, with parties desperately trying to strengthen their standing. However, further confusion follows the general elections after a very divided vote. The repeat national election was meant to break the deadlock, but has only managed to block the political sphere even more. The third elections have been a fiasco for the left, that could have easily avoided them by joining forces. Far from reinforcing acting government PSOE, the results have boosted right-wing party PP and meant the rise of far-right party Vox. Pedro Sánchez - acting president has won the elections a second time, but will find forming government an even harder task than back in April. His main allies, Unidas Podemos, have gone from 45 seats to 35 and new party Más País has only managed three seats. PP has gone from 66 seats to a healthy 88 and Vox has increased from 24 to 52, in a big breakthrough for the far-right. PSOE had faced the elections with confidence, but has instead lost three seats. Results for Ciudadanos have seen the party sink from 57 to a measly 10 seats. Their leader, Albert Rivera, shocked his party with a swift resignation following the news. Until a year ago, Spain was the only European country without a xenophobic

party in Congress. Now, Vox has achieved 962,000 more votes than in April and can be considered the third political force in the country. The ghost of a Left-wing coalition will haunt Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias - leader of Unidas Podemos - who weren’t able to reach an agreement over the summer. Sunday’s election has seen their votes plummet and their options grow slimmer. General participation went down all over the country, with citizens having grown weary of the legislative instability. It was notable that in areas of high agricultural activity and greenhouses, Vox received considerable support. Algeciras, Estepona, Mazarrón, Cartagena and Torre Pacheco are some of the areas where Vox received a generous backing. Going forward, options are limited and negotiations will be complex. The simple days of bipartisanship are a thing of the past and now Spain will have to contend with coalitions and the new age of politics. The blockage continues, but there is maybe one advantage: it will be hard to force yet another election.
Grants for Calvia THE mayor of Calvia has announced that a great deal of resources will be made available to improve the municipality next year. Alfonso Rodríguez revealed that funding will be made avail-
able to bars, clubs, restaurants and shops in the region, where there will be ‘new and more potent’ grants for modernisation. The town hall has made these grants available in the past, however in recent years funding has fallen by 75 per
cent due to a lack of take-up by businesses. In 2017, the town hall set aside a budget of €110,000, but only two establishments applied for grants - one in Palmanova and the other in Paguera. In 2018, the spending was reduced to €49,000, but the number of applicants rose to 19. This year, the town hall set aside €28,000, although the number of grants that were awarded dropped to nine. The grants are intended to be used for improving the condition of an establishment both inside and out and can be used for a range of purposes such as painting, signage or furnishings.

String of robberies THE Guardia Civil has arrested a 26-year-old man as the alleged perpetrator of multiple robberies on commercial establishments in the Llevant area. In recent months, a series
of robberies with force and violence were committed in the area, with investigating offic e rs a ttributing th e thefts to be carried out by the same person. The first robbery took place at a petrol station in Cala Millor in July, where it is re porte d tha t a ma n w ie lde d a la rge kitc he n knife to thre a te n a n e mployee to hand over money
from the cash register. The same gas station was targeted a few months later, with another robbery carried out at a petrol station in Manacor. On both occasions, the man threatened employees with a large knife, fleeing the scene with takings from the till. After an investigation by the police, officers discovered that the same person
had carried out two further burglaries, one at a hairdresser in Canyamel and the other at a shop in Manacor. The man took advantage that the establishments were closed, forcing entry inside. The m an has been charged with three counts of theft with violence and two counts of theft with force where he now awaits trial in court.

ARRESTED: A man has been charged for multiple robberies in the Llevant area.
Indecent exposure A MAN has been arrested for allegedly showing his genitals to several women in Palma. Officers were alerted to a series of incidents on the morning of November 5 after a woman called the 092 switchboard to report that a man had tried to kiss and grab her on Union Street as she was walking to work. An hour later, another call was taken by the emergency switchboard which described a man showing his genitals to two women on Miramar Street. Then, around 8am, a call was received to report that a man had shown his genitals to two other women on
Miramar Street and that he had tried to prevent them from leaving the scene. Minutes later, Local Police officers observed a man on Comtat Rosellรณ who fit the description given by the five women. The suspect told officers that he worked at night and that he was simply taking a tour of Palma, since he had only arrived in the city just over a month ago. Despite denying the accusations, he was arrested and taken back to the police station for further questioning. The 34-year-old man of Chilean nationality has been subsequently charged with exhibitionism and sexual assault.

Voting in the UK General Election BRITISH citizens living abroad may vote in UK general elections, referendums and European Parliament elections for up to 15 years after leaving the UK but may only do so if they were registered to vote in the UK while living there. Those who were under 18 at the time of leaving the UK may vote as long as their parent or guardian was registered to vote in the UK and must apply accordingly. The actual limit is arbitrary and has changed from as little as seven years to more than 15, but it was Conservative policy that the time limit should be scrapped and it supported a private members bill to this effect. For various reasons, it was not considered possible to push the bill through prior to the Brexit Referendum or the last election and now it was talked out of Parliament earlier in the year, so those who have lived outside of the UK for more than 15 years will not be allowed to vote in the General Election on December 12. If y o u a re a l re a dy r egi st er ed with your local council as an active voter living overseas then it is expected that your ballot paper will be posted to you on or about
November 20. If however you have not yet confirmed registration, but were registered on the electoral list prior to your leaving the UK (or were under 18 and qualify) , then this must be done by 5pm November 26 and your ballot paper should be posted on November 30. Due to the tight time frame there is a very strong risk that some Overseas Electors would not be able to receive and return a postal vote in time for it to be counted by 10pm on the day of election. There is also the possibility that a postal strike by Royal Mail will take place in November/December 2019 which could cause chaos for postal votes. Because of this local councils are strongly advising that potential voters should consider changing their arrangement to a proxy vote instead by appointing someone to vote on their behalf, but they would need to be registered themselves and be eligible to vote in national elections. As European nationals are not able to vote in UK Parliamentary elections, your proxy would need to hold British, Irish or Commonwealth nationality.
Proxy forms for Overseas & Crown Servant Electors are available to download from the website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-to-vote-by-proxy-if-youre-living-overseas. Most Councils can accept a scanned form as an image attached to an email. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Two week review Commentary by Moneycorp BREXIT has for once taken the backburner for in vestors, with the general election now front and foremost as the main risk to sterling. Markets need to see the outcome of the vote on December 12 before the focus can revert back to the UK’s future relationship with Europe. Uncer tainty over the general election and who will win as the parties launched their campaigns this week saw the pound lose ground to almost every cur rency, sharing last place with the Japanese yen. Sterling fell by an average of 0.7% against the other majors. While the UK’s purchasing man agers’ index readings for manufacturing and ser vices fared better than expected, the Bank of Eng land’s decision to downgrade its economic outlook and nonunanimous vote balanced out the earlier data results. While the BoE’s decision to hold interest rates at 0.75% was widely expected, two members of the Monetary Policy Committee voting in favour of a rate cut was a surprising move. Such a dovish
move is rare and sparked panic for investors, with the pound immediately impacted. Mario Draghi said farewell to the European Central Bank and Christine Lagarde settled into her new role. Setting out her stance, Lagarde called on Germany and the Netherlands to use their budget surpluses to fund investments that would help stimulate the economy. Backing her predecessors’ call for a common Euroland budget, she defended the negative interest rates Draghi brought in. Steering away from monetary policy, Lagarde also called for “strength, resolve and courage” in European capitals. The ECB also dominated this week’s headlines, with the update on economic and monetary developments. Confirming “pro tracted weakness in euro area growth dynamics,” the bank reiterated its readiness “to adjust all of its instruments, as appropriate, to ensure that infla tion moves towards its aim.” Across the pond the Federal Open Market Com mittee lowered the fed funds rate target range, its

The wording of the statement gave the impression that further cuts were not un der consideration but investors still sensed a lack of hawkishness and the dollar moved lower. How ever, strong data at the end of last week showing payrolls increasing by 128k in October propped up the greenback. The biggest story is still the trade war, with Washington and Beijing ‘actively considering the

rollback of tariffs’ and both sides agreed to phase out the tariffs. The dollar responded posi tively, taking half a cent and a half off sterling and added a cent and an eighth against the euro. Another rate announcement and this time in Canada. The Loonie lost an almostimmediate three quarters of a cent against the US dollar after the Bank of Canada’s governor Stephen Poloz comments. While the bank kept its benchmark rate steady at 1.75%, his opening statement caused concern, stating the Governing Council dis cussed a rate cut ‘as a form of insurance’ against downside risks. Data was universally disappointing from Canada this week too, with manufacturing PMI and the Ivey PMI letting the Loonie down. The Aussie was riding high from last week, after a string of positive domestic data releases. The Re serve Bank of Australia’s rate decision to keep its cash rate unchanged at 0.75% came as no sur prise, but it wasn’t just Canada’s Governor that was rising eyebrows this week. Philip Lowe referred to the economy’s “gentle turning point” and spoke of inflation returning to its 2% target. The sentiment picked up from the decision was that while the RBA is prepared to ease monetary policy further if needed, they don’t want to go there, with the Aussie strengthening in response.

ESTEPONA has made a move towards an ecofriendly future with solar powered lighting. The town hall has opted to install LED lighting connected to solar panels. More than 100 units will be installed in the first phase of the project. This new lighting will be used in different parts of the city and will cut CO2 emissions down by 18 tonnes. The pioneering lighting system will continue the plan to reduce energy consumption and look after the environment. Deputy mayor in charge of Services - Blas Ruzafa - has announced 106 units will be installed in the city centre and outskirts. Ruzafa explains that electricity will be generated by solar panels attached to the lights. The LEDs have a sensor that can detect ambient light and will turn on and off accordingly. Another benefit is their longer product life, that can last up to five years. And their easy set up that requires no wiring to the electricity supply. All these beneficial characteristics will lead to savings for the city and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 18 tonnes. The first phase will see 5,900 lights replaced by more efficient LEDs that will save approximately €160,000 in electricity bills.
Almeria in London ALMERIA has its eye on reinforcing and expanding its share of the British tourist market. A delegation from the Provincial Tourist Service was in London this week to promote Almeria at the World Travel Market, considered one of the most important travel trade shows in Europe.

The deputy referred to the provincial government’s “ambitious promotion campaign with which we want to intensify this market and clear up any doubts which the Brexit situation or the Thomas Cook case generate.” He said the delegation had gone to London “with the hope of offering confidence and convinced of the virtues of the Costa de Almeria destination, which continues to be one of the British’s favourites. “Our presence here generates numerous commercial opportunities which we have to take advantage of so they are to the benefit of Almeria Province as a tourist destination.”
THE Diputación de Malaga has approved the proposal of €1.9 million worth of projects designed to improve the facilities on the region. The Governing Board of the Diputación de Malaga has approved the projects which cover 11 municipalities in the province and focused on the towns that have less than 20,000 residents. The total investment is funded by the provincial institution within the Plan of Assistance and Cooperation and will aim to provide improvements to the towns’ streets and access and the remodelling of municipal swimming pools. One of the largest beneficiaries is La Viñuela which will receive a total of €499,353 to improve the southern access to the area. Works have already begun on improving the road and infrastructure, but the investment will ensure that the third and fourth stages are able to be completed. Riogordo will receive €320,380 to refurbish their swimming pool, whilst Torrox will get €269,252 for the El Peñoncillo area of the N-340. Other municipalities that look forward to improvement projects are Sayalonga, Periana, Alcaucin and Molino Barco. Outside of Axarquia, Antequera has been approved to continue the works in Sierra de Yeguas, for the development of the fifth and sixth phase of urbanisation and paving of the Avenida Fuente de Piedra.

Funding for floods THE Council of Ministers has authorised a payment of €18 million in aid for the damages caused by the severe floods which ravaged the Llevant area in Mallorca last year. Pedro Sánchez, the acting Prime Minister of Spain, took advantage of his electoral rally in Palma last week to make the announcement. Accompanied by PSOE colleagues, the mayor of Palma and members of Congress, Sánchez confirmed that the state will cover a large proportion of the costs which were spent to repair the infrastructure and public facilities in the affected municipalities. The floods of October 9 constitute as one of the most serious tragedies caused by rain to take place in Spain over the last 25 years. Claiming the lives of 13 people and injuring several others, numerous houses and roadways were also left severely damaged. In the days after the flooding, it is reported that authorities removed over 4,200 tons of rubble and debris, carrying out 23 actions on the roads. Sant Llorenç was the worst affected town, with Artà, Manacor, Capdepera and Son Servera also suffering huge devastation. The impact of the downpour was exacerbated by geography, infrastructure and the difficulty of forecasting the disaster. Experts at the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) estimated that a torrential rain of this magnitude only repeats itself once in every 1,000 years.

When one considers that Brexit has become a movable feast, it has to be remembered that the government has accepted and even warned that there could be significant delays or shortages in many areas especially if there had been a no deal Brexit. Companies have therefore needed to stockpile certain mate rial such as parts for machinery and raw material to allow them
By John Smith to continue in business in the event that Britain crashed out of the EU. Now with the possible delay until the end of January, the fact that there could be a change of government which could still re sult in a Hard Brexit, no Brexit or further delay, those businesses are in something of a quandary as to what they should do in the in terim. Their problem is that the im
ports that they have purchased are not only taking up valuable space, but are a drain on their fi nances and although they will no doubt be able to use all of this material in the longterm, it won’t be much use if they run out of money to stay solvent. Alternatively, if they do sud denly experience a run of orders due to the delay and retailers or distributors suddenly stocking up whilst they can, there will be the further conundrum of whether to import new raw materials or not.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he get escritura? Some years ago I purchased a plot of land by a private contract with the seller. I could not register the plot in the Land Registry in my name because it was part of a double plot which had not yet been ‘segregated’ or officially subdivided. The sale was declared, however, and the Andalucian transfer tax was paid. Now the land has been official ly subdivided but the seller refuses to go to the no tary to sign a proper ‘escritura,’ the official title deed. How can I get the title deed and what can I do if the seller, still being the registered owner, sells the plot again? K V R (Costa del Sol)
DAVID SEARL
The pri vate con YOU AND THE tract implies the LAW IN SPAIN seller’s obligation to sign a proper ti tle deed at the notary even if it does not specifically state this. If the seller proves obstinate, he is in viola tion of the law and any Spanish court will rule against him. If your seller should sell the property again, he has breached his contract and you can recover the property. We urge you to instruct a lawyer to make sure you act in the most effective manner.

Cuban defence
IT is no secret that since the re duction in tension between the USA and Cuba during the Obama administration that the Spanish government has been encourag ing companies to become in volved in the Cuban economy. Now, that Donald Trump has activated the 1996 HelmsBurton Act, there is a possibility that Spanish companies may be sued for their activities within the Caribbean nation. There may be as many as 16 Spanish companies including Iberostar, Melia, BBVA bank which could be targeted, but Spain has warned that it will chal lenge any and all lawsuits that may arise.
BUSINESS EXTRA
Mergers fall SPANISH mergers and acquisitions until the end of October are down by almost 10 per cent compared to the previous year but still account for expenditure of just below €63 billion with Portugal and the USA being the top foreign targets.
Interest rate THE Bank of England has kept the interest rate at 0.75 per cent but has warned that the global economy is likely to stutter and two members of the committee actually voted for an immediate hike in the rate.
Expanding south BBVA Bank in Spain is extending its online banking presence following an agreement reached in Mexico and is looking for new accounts in Argentina, Colombia and Peru. It currently has 500,000 accounts operated online by customers.
Post early for Christmas A PLANNED strike by post office workers in the UK could cause chaos in December affecting Christmas deliveries and over seas postal votes for the General Elec tion. Some 97 per cent of workers voted for the stoppage and although no date or dates have been set, the Royal Mail is
fighting back. They have taken legal action asking for an injunction to stop the strike, claiming that the strike ballot was ‘unlawful and, therefore, null and void.’ The operation was floated on the Stock Exchange in 2013 and in 2015 the govern ment sold the last of its shares.

Trusting Spain to help By John Smith THE Amazon Group is increasing its investment in Spain by an estimat ed €2.5 billion by opening three new data centres in its fight against Microsoft and Google. A subsidiary, Amazon Web Ser vices (AWS) which is involved with Cloud storage is the vehicle being used for this expansion which will take place in Aragon and will be ideally placed to serve all of the main business areas in Spain. Whilst it is primarily an Amazon project, it does already supply ser vices to a number of Spanish com panies such as Mapfre, Endesa and

More delay, more cost THE London Crossrail project which is planned to connect Reading with Shenfield and is partially open has taken another hit and will not be completed until 2021. To add to the problems of what
is currently Europe’s biggest infrastructure scheme which should have been completed by December 2018 is that it is also believed costs are in the region of £650 million (€715 million) over the re-
vised budget. The original targeted cost for what will be known as the Elizabeth Line was £15.9 billion (€18.25 billion) and is now likely to reach £18.25 billion (€21 billion).
BBVA and once the centres are open, they will have the capacity and reach to service most of south ern Europe. This will be the seventh Euro pean centre of its type to be opened, after existing divisions in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Swe den and France, with Italy also planned. Its two biggest competitors do not have similar centres in Spain which increases the AWS opportu nity as experts say that it is impor tant that companies have the op tion to store information on the Cloud through locally based opera tions. Already one of the three most profitable companies in the world, Amazon has expanded quite quickly within Spain with its online sales services and warehouses and cur rently employs almost 5,000 work ers and has invested in excess of €1 billion to date. With the new centres expected to be open by late 2022 or early 2023, the employment prospects which will include large numbers of workers constructing the buildings just continue to expand.

GDP growth LATE last week, the European Commission reduced its forecast for Spain’s GDP growth in 2019 to 1.9 per cent, from the previous estimate of 2.3 per cent. This compares well to the forecast for the Eurozone of just 1.1 per cent.

Heritage under threat? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WHEN is all this ridiculous, upsetting and often downright insulting reversed racism going to stop? How long will it take for the authorities to gather the courage to persecute the minority whingers with the same fervour and enthusiasm they seem to reserve for the victimised majori ties, who are having to watch almost everything that comes out of their mouths in case it ‘of fends’ someone? Just recently we had that awful British hating Afua Hirsch, who complained that white models should not adopt Afro hair styles because it was trying to ‘steal black culture.’ Nothing of course was mentioned of the thou sands of hair dressing salons earning fortunes by straightening, and thereby westernising, the no toriously difficult hair of black ladies the world over! This week has been no exception to the ex ponents of this onesided attitude, which, if they’re not careful, will turn us all into racists. The small and pretty town of Bideford has for years been referred to as ‘Little White Town.’ This title stretches back to the 1850s when the

town, endeavouring to repel the scourge of cholera, had all its houses painted white and cov ered in ash. Apparently during this period, it was referred to by author Charles Kingsley in his book Westward Ho, as a ‘little white town.’ Over the years, the name has become a part of its heritage and is proudly displayed on a num
ber of public notices and postings. Yes, you’ve guessed it. There has now been a complaint that the name is racist! What is even more annoying, is that it appears there were actually only a cou ple of dissenters, but in the usual ‘minority ap peasement’ mode that seems to prevail over our once great country, the town council has de
creed that the name be changed in case they ap peared to be advocating ‘white supremacy.’ You really couldn’t make it up could you? Once again the British culture and heritage is being threatened by PC people, who are in fact the biggest racists of all. I mean where does it all end? How long will it be before anything referred to as white offends some bigot or another? I do actually recall, that at the end of apartheid in South Africa, it was somewhat frowned upon to ask for a white coffee and more socially ac ceptable to request a coffee with milk! Will Whitechapel one day be referred to as Grey chapel? Whitehaven become Greenhaven? Will it be the Purple Cliffs of Dover welcoming the ille gal immigrant paddling across the English Chan nel? Why don’t we expunge the word from the dictionaries altogether? For heavens and all our sakes, when is some one going to get a grip and say enough is enough? The UK is already one of the most wel coming and politically correct places on the plan et. What do these bigots actually want? Will they ever be happy? If nothing is ever going to please them would it not be a better idea to find somewhere else that does? Dream on Leapy. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com
Leapy Lee’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
EVERY year thousands of expats realise their dream as they buy their ‘Place in the Sun.’ Living in Spain can be liberating for them as they adapt to the more relaxing, laid back lifestyle. What very few people warn them about, however, is the winter! Most Spanish houses are not built with winter in mind, and most hardy northern Europeans think ‘How bad could it be?’ To which the answer is: ‘Pretty bad!’ Over 10 years ago Richard and Tony were in the same situation. Having recently moved to Spain, they were fruitlessly looking for a decent home heating solution for their two families when, by chance, Tony discovered a Norwegian convector heater that was un available in Spain. Already using electric heaters, Tony was amazed at the efficiency of the Norwegian heaters, joking that it was now costing him less to keep his family warm than it had been costing to keep them cold! A general lack of insulation means that Spanish homes can be like an ice block once the sun goes down at night, and the chatter ing of teeth from frozen new expats can be heard like cicadas! However, you need not despair, the solution is at hand, and you do not need to reinvent the wheel. The real secret of these heaters is the com puterage technology in the form of extruded aluminium in the construction of the heating element. This material and the design creates a huge surface area for heat transfer, which
Advertising Feature
Make your New Home ‘Winter Friendly’ With Neater Heater means more air can be heated for less cost. Neater Heaters use convection principles and are designed so that the electricity you put into the heater is converted to heat as cheaply as possible. When you turn on the heater the element warms up rapidly and heats the air around it, this air rises and draws more cold air into the heater. Because the element is extremely ef ficient and is designed to have a huge surface area a large quantity of air is heated very quickly. If your room has the correct sized heater it will take about 20 minutes to warm up from cold, after which the heater eases off and works at about twothirds capacity, (depending on various external influences). There is a model that will suit everyone, whether it is the standard Adax Heater, or two of their bestselling models, the BEHA, and the NEO which now come with integrat ed WiFi, so that you can control your heaters easily via a WiFi APP, but still being able to

This heater shares the design tech nology and ethos of the current Neater Heaters, but it has two differences: The Vigo comes with a carrying handle, wall bracket, and feet included in the price; The larger Vigo models take up less wall space and go up to 2.5kw. They also have a digital display that in dicates the reduced wattage that the heater regulates once the room has reached desired temperature, thus saving more money through reduced running costs. Richard and Tony decided to make these heaters available throughout the Costa Blan ca, and set up NEATER HEATER to achieve this. In fact, they have become so popular that there are outlets selling Neater Heaters from the Costa Blanca all the way down to Almeria, across to the Costa del Sol, and available online if you are located in the Balearics. However, if you have no agent near you, never fear, they can be bought from our internet shop and delivered to your door, of ten within a few days.

The scandals just won’t die 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
THE head of an FE college spent £150,000 in four years on her corporate credit card, buying lobster dinners, hiri n g c h a u ff e u r s , s t a y i n g i n five-star hotels and flying first class. Stella Mbubaegbu, principal of Highbury College, Portsmouth, spent the money when the college w a s m a k i n g re d u n d a n c i e s and its Ofsted rating was falling from ‘outstanding’ to ‘requires improvement.’ The mind boggles at yet another example of financial ineptitude and claims based on entitlement, togeth er with an apparent lack of account ability, control or authorisation more of a gravy plane than a gravy train? It seems both the running and governance of some FE colleges just like those unis mired in expenses scandals we already know about
CREDIT: More expenses scandals. are equally questionable. And what about schools? I read about one that was taken out of local authority control and made into an academy. First thing the head did was to award himself an 18 per cent pay rise, his deputy a 5 per cent rise and the staff nothing. Subsequently, the school performed less well than under the local authority. Progress,eh? It’s sad that many of the people I regarded as pillars of the community when I was growing up school/col lege principals, police officers, politi cians (with their General Election ‘pledges’) now appear to have lost the concept of selfless public service. And yet no one seems to have
learned anything from their miscon duct! There’s nothing but hot air, lip service and a stubborn refusal to face up to reality followed by phras es like ‘we’ve all learned the lessons,’ ‘we’ve moved on,’ ‘the system’s been overhauled.’ Or, when wrongdoing’s uncov ered, phrases like: ‘it’s only a few’ who make ‘mistakes.’ Well, why are the majority so incompetent or not up to dealing with ‘the few’ when it routinely happens? Shouldn’t repeat ed wrongdoing ring alarm bells? I know I bang on about unwarrant ed expenses, the NHS, the police ser vice and so on. My rationale is that by drawing repeated attention to these issues can there be any hope of change. Truth stranger than fiction? You couldn’t make it up.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) There is a wonderful enthusiasm about you at the moment. Seeing the reaction of others to you, it occurs that you should have taken this attitude before. Therefore, make a resolution to put more energy into everything that you do. The rewards are both social and financial.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Something new which you started in recent weeks becomes more than a passing interest. Although it may be surprising to you, it is owing to a predictable situation. In opening your mind, you also seem to have opened your heart. Many people do that at this time of the year and so you are not alone. Trusting is sometimes difficult but it must happen sometime.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being totally inspired this week, you could be tempted to let enthusiasm run away with you. It is a lovely feeling, like being a child again. Be sure to have fun, but do keep as much money in your pocket as possible. With many demands at the moment, restrict your exuberance on finances.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There will be a certain amount of discussion regarding holiday plans. You know what you want but how do you persuade others? It's quite easy really. All you have to do is to get someone else to suggest a certain place.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) You are so sharp that there is a danger you will cut yourself! Seriously, though, try not to appear pompous over a certain matter. You may be right and you may be clever, but smarty pants are rarely popular. Some of that sharpness gets things going for you in the love department.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With everyone busy round you, the chance may be taken to show what you are capable of. Instead of watching someone make a pig's ear of a work project, offer to help. It's important to let them think any bright ideas were theirs.
19
www.euroweeklynews.com • 14 - 20 November 2019
LEO (July 24 - August 23) A business partnership takes on a romantic tinge this week. It is possible that the other party sees this as more significant than you. To avoid problems later it would be best to let them do all the running.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Your outgoing attitude is spot on. Some may say you are a little crazy, the way you go for things. Each person has their own way and yours can be quite unique but that certainly does not make it wrong. People who make the world around us that little bit more colourful are gems.

A last-minute invitation turns out to be just the ticket in more ways than one. An invitation to join a holiday may be proffered. This is unusual, certainly, but keep an open mind. Your company is clearly well appreciated so why not make that a point of pride? Let's face it, who is best equipped to blow your trumpet?
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Someone you mistrust offers to add to your celebrations. Why not call a truce? We both know that little long term will come out of it, but who cares? Sometimes, it is better to share one good moment with someone than none at all.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) As you are very much in the limelight, it comes as no great surprise that admiration comes your way. What may surprise you, however, is the direction it comes from. Who would have thought that such a situation would arise? Strange things happen sometimes.

Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3X3 box contains the digits 1-9. There’s no maths involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.

Some legal matters need your attention. That's not really what you want at this time of the year. A decision has to be made and it needs a fine balance. Asking others may just confuse matters, so only seek expert advice. At the end of the day, you will know what is both best and acceptable.

OUR VIEW
Views expressed and opinions given are not necessarily those of the EWN publishers. No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.
A solution needed HOMELESSNESS has travelled the Atlantic Ocean and has expanded across Europe. The US has always been known for unacceptably high numbers of people living on the streets. The way of life in the capitalist hub has never been easy for those who couldn’t keep up and estimates state that 129,972 people are homeless in California alone. In Europe, vagrancy is rising and is in need of an immediate solution. Charity Shelter calculated that around 300,000 people lived on the streets in the UK. As of March 2019, 32,740 households were considered homeless and 126,020 children were living in temporary housing like B&Bs or hostels. The situation in Spain is also worsening as house and rent prices soar. Around 31,000 people are homeless and numbers are set to increase. It’s getting more common to come across people sleeping rough at night and to find areas taken over by vagrants. Article 47 in the Spanish Constitution states that Spanish citizens have the right to enjoy decent and adequate housing. It also adds that public authorities will promote the necessary conditions to enforce this right. Although homelessness is less prominent in Spain, it still constitutes a significant social issue that requires change. Migrants and young people are some of the most affected, with 30 per cent of the homeless aged between 18-29.
NEVER FORGET REMEMBRANCE DAY has always been very important to me and I always pay my re spects to those who died in the line of duty. Living abroad, I sometimes feel distanced from this tradition. It’s important that we never forget the brave men who fought for our country, and we need to pass this on to future generations. Even though we may not be living in the UK, we can still show our sup port in many ways. Thank you to the local businesses who honour the fallen and sell poppies for charity, you help us feel united as we remember our roots. I was grateful for the piece in Euro Weekly dedicated to Remembrance Day and every thing that it represents. In light of everything going on, moments like these put everything into perspective. It’s good to forget Brexit for one day and remember why I’m proud to be British. Sid Wilson
In the stars? I THINK there must be something in the stars right now, some heavenly or unheavenly in fluence that decided to punish Spain and the UK at roughly the same time with a gen eral election. Here in Spain it’s beginning to look like Groundhog Day with Pedro Sanchez try ing to form a government yet again after inconclusive results and a hung parlia ment although this time Vox will be breathing down his neck as well. Perhaps the Spanish are more fortu nate than Brits back home, though, be cause those who bothered to turn out at least knew who to vote for. It’s a relief that I’m not eligible to vote in Britain’s December elections because I wouldn’t know which of that bunch of selfserving politicians would deserve my support. Neither the government nor the oppo sition have known how to run the coun try, let alone Brexit, and it looks as though they still won’t know after December 12. Suzanne Mansell
Lives at risk I like to go onto the Euro Weekly News website as that way I can see other edi tions too, and one thing that never ceas
UNITED: Remembering those who died in the line of duty. es to amaze me is the number of articles about people who need extricating from the hazardous situations they find themselves in. On reflection, ‘find’ isn’t the word I’m look ing for, because they tend to put themselves in these situations and I think that most of them are very thoughtless indeed. Off they go, breaking an ankle while trying to climb a mountain in flipflops or, like the party of excursionists you reported on recent

ly, paddle boarding in 100kilometre gales. They risk their own lives, but they put their rescuers’ lives at risk too. Some time ago there was talk of the Emer gency Services charging for rescues that were the result of negligence, but as far as I know noone has ever had to pay. Perhaps one of the readers could enlighten me? Adele Stephenson

A skincare secret AGEING is one of our biggest beauty concerns and it can turn into the bane of our existence. With ageing comes antiageing products, designed to tackle wrinkles and plump the skin. But with so many products and confusing terms to deal with, it isn’t easy to manage this mine field. However, there is one prod uct that has got everybody talk ing. From skincare experts and beauty fanatics to dermatolo gists, they are all loving retinol. Retinoids have been on the scene for many years, but it’s just now that most people are taking notice. Retinol has prop erties that are said to reverse signs of ageing and also act as a preventive measure. The ingredient derives from Vitamin A and is found in many creams and lotions. It promotes collagen production and exfoli ates the outermost layer of skin. It changes the way aged cells
behave, making them act like younger cells. This results in softening, improving the texture of the skin and minimising the look of fine lines. Retinol is also good for acne scars and sun damage and can brighten the skin, giving the look of a youthful complexion. Age spots can also be lightened with this acidic product as skin tone is evened out. That said, retinol may not be suitable for all skin types. If you suffer any conditions such as eczema or rosacea, a high strength product like this could cause further inflammation. To combat this, adding very small amounts to your moisturiser can introduce skin slowly to the ingredient, always making sure to use SPF afterwards. It is also encouraged that people without underlying skin conditions use small amounts when starting to use retinol. Be ginning by applying twice a

As a general rule, any retinoid creams or serums are to be used at night as they increase sensitivity to sunlight. Wearing SPF daily is essential when the ingredient is part of your skincare routine. And taking into account that it is a strong product; users should not use more than a
peasized amount. Younger people can also use retinol but they may not see as many benefits as someone with older skin. Never forgetting however, that prevention is al ways better than cure and this product will keep skin glowy. If you are looking for a retinoid product many well known cosmetic companies have them on sale. Roc, Neutro gena, La RochePosay, Olay and Elizabeth Arden all have differ ent types of retinol products.

Queen of pop ROSALIA continues her reign as queen of Spanish pop and has taken away awards at both the recent MTV Europe Awards and Los40 Awards. Performing at both ceremonies she was accompanied by her dance troupe with perfectly choreographed moves and eyecatching costumes at the EMA’s but opted for a stripped back ballad and spray on pink latex gown in Madrid. Her popularity continues to grow and has seen her win at the Latin Grammys last year for Best Urban
and Best Alternative song. Rosalia mixes traditional fla menco with modern styles such as pop, hip hop and electronic and can be categorised as new flamenco. She triumphed at the Los40s ceremony by tak ing away the much coveted Artist of the Year award. MODERN FLAMENCO: Barcelona born singer.
Costa del Sol star MIKI ESPARBÉ, one of the lead characters in the new Netflix series Drug Squad: Costa del Sol has signed up as the protagonist in forthcoming Movistar release Los Espabilados. The busy Catalan actor confirmed on Twitter that he will take part in the seven episodes which are inspired by the novel ‘What I will tell you when I see you again’ by Albert Espinosa. Recording has already started in Barcelona and Menorca and continues in France and Italy. T he story tells of a group of youngsters who escape from a psychiatric centre looking for their place in the world and embark on a trip through Europe to find one of their brothers. The kids all suffer from mental illnesses and have to overcome many obstacles in their adventure. The series brings both positivity and humour while facing taboos regarding the rejection caused by mental illness. NEW WORK: Recorded in Barcelona and Menorca.
Pop royalty MADRID was host to Los40 Mu sic Awards recently and wel comed musical stars from all around the world to their WiZ ink Centre. The Jonas Brothers, Rosalia, Mabel and Sam Smith wowed the fans with spectacu lar performances and all took away an award.
Sam Smith received a Golden Music award, previously won by superstars like Calvin Harris and Mary J Blige. Sam Smith has become a huge name for soul music inter nationally, with hits that cross borders and reach audiences of all ages.

Step into the light LIGHTEN UP: Simple changes to your home. lux (lx) measures the amount of illumination per square metre. I n adult bedrooms, low levels are recommended for general
lighting, between 50 and 150 lx. Children’s rooms should be a little brighter, around 150 lx or 300 lx if there is a larger playing space. I n living rooms, lighting can vary between 100 and 300 lx, although if you have a large television which already emits a lot of light you should be able to reduce that to 50 lx. Before going out and spending a lot of money on new bulbs it is advisable to measure each
room with a luxmetre which will cost around €25. This will allow you to calculate the required lux for each room and its surface. If you do not wish to do this yourself you can have a professional do this for you. Not too much lighting is needed in the bathrooms. However large mirrors and white tiles create great reflective surfaces. Painting walls or ceilings white is a great way of allowing
light to be reflected. Dark colours absorb light and so it will be lost. If you prefer wallpaper choose something with a white background to reflect the light. If you are able, install doors with glass panels in your house to create a flow of light from rooms that receive the most light. Y ou can also opt to do a full floor to ceiling door that creates a larger surface to maximise on the light.

PROPERTY ADVICE: Marbella market is strong. make a difference in success or failure is how you invest. Some of the main factors to
take into consideration when making investment decisions are the product, time and place and also your window of oppor tunity. You should become familiar with the product you are buying into, you must do your home work. As for time, look at how your particular type of venture performed in its specific area or market in the past, its current performance and a proposed future performance. This will allow you to have a sense of growth or if there looks to be a fluctuating cycle. Having an idea of this will lead to identi fying the opportunity, as this makes your savings grow, earn ing income and gaining value. Buying during a growth cycle will cost more, but offers more direct earnings whilst buying on a downward cycle will get you a bargain, but you will have to wait longer for a high income. Avoid buying during a peak cy
cle when assets tend to be over valued and are set to dip in both value and incomegenerating potential. Looking at properties bought to rent on the Costa del Sol as assets is an interesting proposi tion as the region’s real estate market has grown stronger over the last five years with a re newed construction sector and an interest in modern property. The demand for properties to buy in Marbella and surround ing areas has remained strong across a broad group of buyers from Spain and abroad. Howev er, it is being outperformed by the rental market, where rent has risen greatly for short holi day lets and long term rentals. The reason for the first op tion is because the region has consistent high yearround tourist numbers catering to thinks like golfing and spa holi days or cultural travel. On the other hand, long term lets are popular as many of the current residents cannot afford to buy or fulfil mortgage requirements and therefore look to rent. Many of those renting are professionals with good earning power, so knowing how to manage holiday or long term rents allows you to earn a good return on your investment whilst watching its value grow.

LIVERPOOL CRUSH MAN CITY THE two top premiership teams clashed at Anfield on Sunday Liverpool v Manchester City with five points between them at the top of the table. It wasn’t long at all until the first goal when on six minutes City thought they should have had a penalty for handball, after the ball flicked off AlexanderArnold’s thigh and into his arm. The referee waved play on and Liverpool a raid down the left. Mane’s low cross was poked clear, but Fabinho ran onto it, took a touch and blasted it inside the post from 25 yards ensur ing Liverpool a footing with a 10 early lead. Just eight minutes later though they stole a second goal when Robertson’s cross bounced to Salah, who head ed it in. Ten minutes into the sec ond half and Liverpool scored
a third. It was a gorgeous Henderson cross, and Mane stooped to head in at the back post Bravo got two hands to it, but could only fumble it in. City pulled a goal back on the 80th minute when Angeli no’s low cross deflected to Bernardo Silva, whose low shot clipped the inside of the post on its way in. The last 10 minutes Liver pool completely lost their swagger, but they still had their lead as City threw every thing at the bus, but Liverpool saw it out and went eight points clear at the top of the premiership and looking likely champions this year even at this early stage. City them selves with the loss dropped to fourth. It was a cracking match, fullblooded, highpaced en tertainment from first to last, packed with quality, an ab solute neutralthriller.

The version given by Calvia Atletico differs entirely, with coach Gabriel Grille, former coach of Platges de Calvia, qualifying the game as ‘typical of a derby.’ He added that at the end of the match “nothing happened and we cel ebrated a draw because we achieved it
Clash of the clarets ASHLEY BARNES and Chris Wood both celebrated signing new contracts with goals that propelled Burnley to another big win over West Ham Unit ed. Last season’s Turf Moor vic tory over the Londoners at the turn of the year had been the launchpad for Burnley’s sprint to safety. And while the need wasn’t quite so great this time around, the combination of Barnes and Wood and an owngoal from goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez
brought a welcome end to a threematch losing run. The Burnley strike partner ship reunited following Wood’s return from a two match absence took their combined tally for the season to 10 league goals to cap a week in which they had both extended their stay at Turf Moor. And in truth they could have added plenty more, notably Wood who had underlined his liking for this fixture with his sixth goal in five games against the Hammers, with the second goal just before half time that all but sealed the deal as he again ran the Londoners ragged. Jimenez was at fault for all three of the Burnley goals, al though it was only his acrobat ics late in the piece that pre vented a landslide as Sean Dyche’s side produced exactly
at the home of our great rival.” As for the incident with the pho tographer, Grille stated that he “in sulted the children” and that the only thing his brother Fede did was re criminate his actions. He states that there were no death threats “as the Guardia Civil was present.” Calvia City Council is investigating the incident, with Eva Serra, Deputy Mayor of Sports, expressing her dis comfort for the alleged racism.

BIG WIN: Burnley defeat West Ham United. the response they needed to record an emphatic fourth home win of the season and re claim a place back in the top half of the table. In a bid to stop the losing run, Dyche made three changes with fullbacks Charlie Taylor and Phil Bardsley returning along with Wood to make their first Premier League starts of the season. And Burnley wasted no time in looking to make amends for their firsthalf collapse at Sheffield United a week ago with an uptempo opening that had the Hammers immediately on the ropes. West Ham were absolutely shocking, Burnley came at them and totally ran the show
from start to finish, West Ham’s millionaire socalled stars looked lazy, not interested, had no direction from the bench and to be honest looked like a side heading to relegation. It’s evident to the majority of West Ham supporters that the Chilean manager Pelligrini has to be sacked but club owner David Sullivan will have a prob lem there as he gave the ex Manchester City manager a long fouryear contract on £7 million a year and no doubt will want paying off. West Ham supporters are in numbers now calling for the head of their manager and the bookies have him odds on to be the next sacked manager in the premiership.
