COSTA PROTEST
SAYING NO: Demonstrators calling for action against gender violence. THE people of the Costa del Sol have sent out a resounding message - No to gender violence. Across the region people took to the streets on Monday to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The biggest demonstration was in Malaga where 4,000 gathered to add their voices to calls to take action against the scourge. Town halls across the Costa del Sol held a minute’s silence in memory of the now 52 women who have died at the hands of their partners or ex-partners in Spain so far this year. They also organised events to highlight the
issue and to tell victims help is at hand. Looking back at previous years, the first woman to become part of the statistic once real awareness of the problem of gender-based violence began in 2003 was called Yaneth Vargas. Her partner killed her in Fuengirola on January 7, 2003. Since then more than 1,000 women and children in Spain have died at the hands of the women’s partners or ex-partners. At the Malaga demo an enormous list symbolised the issue. It contained the names of every victim - woman and child -killed since 2003 when statistics were first officially collected. “We are the voice of the murdered,” shouted the women at
the head of the march that went through the city’s streets. Meanwhile, a video made for the day revealed that Malaga Local Police arrest three men every week for domestic and gender violence. Recorded and edited by the Audiovisual Group of the Local Police of Malaga and starring two officers, the video reflects the testimony of a victim of gender violence
based on a real complaint. The video is intended to convey that there is no typical profile of battered woman in order to encourage all victims to report the facts, as well as letting them know that they will not be alone and deserve a second chance. This video is a response to the shocking fact that in Spain more than one woman a week on average is killed in a domestic violence incident.

Local master baker BAKER and owner of La Panadería Francisco de Torremolinos, Javier Rey, has been selected among the 80 best bakers in Spain in the third edition of La Ruta del Buen Pan. It is a contest which recognises the work of artisan bakers by the Club Panátics and Pan de Calidad. Javier is the owner of the family business, where he works with his two sisters. “My father was making bread since I was born. As a child, I went with my father on a bicycle delivering bread.”
Rey explained how he entered the contest, “I made my five loaves. I put them in a sack, and I took them to Alcalá de Guadaíra. After a week they called me and told me that I’m among the top bakers in Andalucia.” However, the best was still to come as since then, the national heat of the awards was held at the Valencia Fair, where Javier was again among the elected, this time, from all over Spain.

Early in the morning, 150 volunteers attended a series of workshops for children at the waste treatment plant in Casares, where the importance of recycling was stressed by organisers. Seed bombing is originally a Japanese technique that was first implemented in Andalucia in 2017. The initiative was promoted by the Provincial Council for the first time in Competa. Depending on the area, the seeds are dropped by aerial means or by hand and with a slingshot.

UNFAIR: Most shopping centres weren’t able to open freely.
Open for business THE Andalucian High Court has given shopping centres in Malaga freedom to decide their opening hours. The court overthrows restrictions imposed by the previous government that excludes large areas of the city from being able to freely impose their opening times. The restrictions that prevent large department stores from opening on Sundays and bank holidays have been lifted by the courts. Shops that are less than 300 square metres and do not belong to big brands, have always been able to open freely. Up until this moment, only shops in areas
considered to receive a large tourist influx were given freedom during Easter and the month of August. The town hall and the National Association of Large Distribution Companies, which includes brands like El Corte Ingles, Ikea, Leroy Merlin, Carrefour and MediaMarkt, have been fighting these restrictions for years. They have been demanding that the declaration of tourist zones is applied throughout the city 365 days a year. The judicial resolution bases the new decision on the fact that the Junta of Andalucia didn’t explain why the time freedom was only applied to the Historic Centre and La Malagueta or why it was limited to Easter and August.
ON SALE: The building will sell for a minimum of €16.8 million. AN Israeli oil tycoon is the sole bidder for the Post Office building in Malaga.

Visit to Manilva by British Ambassador to Spain THOSE on the panel included representatives and mayors of Manilva, Casares and San Roque as well as local experts on law, banking and trade as well as invited speaker, the new British Ambassador to Spain HE Hugh Elliott who travelled from Madrid. Prior to the meeting he kindly agreed to speak with Euro Weekly News, although due to the forthcoming General Election, he was required under the rule known as Purdah not to make any comment that could be construed as being of a political nature. The Ambassador had met and married his Spanish wife whilst working as a teacher in Madrid and eventually moved back to the UK with his family to take up a position in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Pleasingly for them both, his first overseas appointment was in Madrid and after spells in the UK he also worked for the FCO in both Argentina and Paris before taking a job in private commerce for seven years. He then applied for the role of Ambassador to Spain and was appointed, which for many reasons he is relishing and is looking forward to the future once all matters political are resolved.

As part of an ongoing programme to discuss the future for British passport holders following Brexit, a seminar was organised in Manilva on the Costa del Sol last week with a number of guest speakers. His current situation is to advise British passport holders to anticipate and be prepared for an eventual Brexit regardless of how long it takes or whether it is hard or soft. The important matters to resolve are those of residency, exchange of driving licences, resolution of health care so that those living in Spain can continue to enjoy their lives without facing bureaucratic problems once any Brexit period of grace has expired. Ambassador Elliott went to some length to praise the Spanish government for the way in which they have reacted to the entire Brexit saga and the fact that they have probably done more to ensure protection for the rights of British subjects than any other EU member state. In conclusion, the Ambassador encouraged all EWN readers to be ready to take advice, visit the Living in Spain Guide on w w w. g o v. u k , t o s i g n u p f o r r e g u l a r u p dates and be assured that the Embassy and the British Consuls around the country would do their best to make sure that all new information is posted as quickly as possible.

Anti Brexiteers’ police harassment by John Smith A GROUP opposed to Brexit in the UK had their phrase ‘Bollocks to Brexit’ adopted by then Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable, but they have been campaigning against leaving the EU since 2016. Currently they have a bright yellow bus with the words emblazoned on the side and three mini cars which are touring the UK trying to turn up wherever pro Brexit campaigners such as Jacob Rees Mogg have been due to appear. Last Sunday one of the cars was stopped by Essex Police on the M25 near Brentwood and the driver asserts that he was shouted at and bullied by the officer involved and accused of a public order offence. A passenger in the car, Peter Cook, said that they were told to remove the offending letters from the side of the car whilst it was stopped on the hard shoulder of the busy M25 and it was only after he dialled 999 to complain that the officer was putting their

EUROPE-WIDE ACTION: IS terrorist propaganda online.
Terror suspect A JOINT action by law enforcement and judicial authorities in Europe against the so-called Islamic State (IS) was aimed at disrupting the online propaganda activities of the terror organisation. It led to the arrest of one man in Spain on terrorism charges. More details of this arrest have not been released, but it is thought it may be tied to the recent arrest of a man in Tener-
ife, as reported by Euro Weekly News. Coordinated by the European Union Internet Referral Unit of Europol, supported by Eurojust the three-day action was joined by 12 EU Member States and nine online service providers. It led to the referral of more than 26,000 items of IS-supporting content to internet providers with the aim of having them taken down.

bers carried out an armed robbery on a bank branch, threatening the staff. The thieves hit the banks just as they were opening up, threatening employees with guns. Once they had the bank cash in their hands, they made off in a getaway vehicle.

Life expectancy LIFE expectancy in Spain is t h e h i g h e s t o f a n y E u ro p e a n Union member-state and the third highest in the world, beaten only by Japan and Switzerland. The Health, Consumer and Social Well-being Ministry report Life Expectancy in Spain 2017 reveals the Spanish live to an average age of 83.3 years old. Wo m e n c a n e x p e c t t o l i v e e v e n l o n g e r, u n t i l 8 6 . Av e r a g e l i f e e x pectancy for Spanish men is 80.4. A comparison with 2016’s figures shows the number of years men in Spain generally live remained unchanged, although for the population overall there was a 0.1 year decrease and a decline of 0.2 years for women. The report designed to show the population lifespan based on gender, age and region has been compiled annually since 2002. Life expectancy in Spain has increased by 3.5 years since then: 4.2 years for men and 2.8 for women. The explanation for why Spanish men historically do not live as long

This year the market is open from November 15 to January 7. Claire Gardner from insurance4carhire said: “With Spain, France and Germany being only a short trip from the UK, offering beautiful Christmas markets, bustling cities and endless culture - it’s unsurprising these countries are a firm favourite for Brits - particularly with interest around Christmas. Spain is also a popular choice for UK expats which could be another reason for its popularity with Brits potentially visiting family or friends over the festive period.

OVERDUE: Under half of tourist apartments have contributed.
Inspection plan binned THE town hall has dismissed an inspection plan that would force all tourist apartments to pay the rubbish taxes. The government rejected the proposal from Adelante Malaga, even though only 45 per cent of these properties have paid the municipal tax. PP and Ciudadanos at the town hall have ruled out the possibility of implementing a tourist housing inspection plan.
The main objective of this plan was to increase the collection of rubbish taxes that only 45 per cent of owners pay. Adelante Malaga proposed the plan with the aim of putting regulations in place in a sector they consider to be ‘out of control.’ The rejection was justified on the grounds that the inspection of holiday accommodation is the responsibility of the Junta de Andalucia. In total, Malaga has collected €229,465 for this tax, far from the estimated €400,000.
The only steps the town hall has taken so far is contacting renting platforms, requesting they take measures so that the properties comply with their fiscal obligations. Until this tax was approved, tourist rental properties were taxed like any residential home, through the IBI. In 2018, it was changed that in addition to paying IBI, hotels and rental apartments would also have to pay an extra amount depending on the number of rooms and the establishment.

Replacing a lost or expired British passport from Spain WITH Brexit possibly around the corner, if you have less than six months life left on your passport it would be a good idea to renew sooner rather than later. Quite often when different official forms are digitalised, it becomes more rather than less confusing and you need to have a degree in programming in order to proceed. For once however, the British government has made things much easier and far less complicated in applying for a replacement passport if yours has been lost or is about to expire. No longer do you need to supply lots of forms including birth certificates and to have a photograph physically signed on the back by someone who knows you and it really is now quite easy if you have access to a computer. Very simply visit https://www.gov. uk/overseas-passports and you’re taken through the whole process step by step and the only drawback is that there isn’t a single page detailing everything including costs as you have to go through a page at a time. There is however a passports link which does give quite a lot of information on the website, but not everything. Even if you have lost or had your passport stolen, you are not precluded for applying online for a replacement, but you have to declare it lost in advance also online. As a real bonus you can now use digital photograph and there are quite explicit rules about what is acceptable as you navigate the website and whilst it may take a couple of attempts, provided you remove any glasses and stand in front of a white background, a selfie taken with a
phone will probably work ok. If you are not happy using a phone camera, then most towns have at least one print shop where they can photograph you and give you a digital image on a memory stick or card. As you progress through the procedure you will be best served by having access to details of your previous passport, but it isn’t actually essential and the site does report back to a human in the UK who can check. When you post your photograph, you will be asked to give details (including email address) of a person of standing who can confirm that they know you and that the photograph is of you. The whole process can take up to six weeks from start to finish and this will include delivery via courier to your address in Spain and you have to pay with a debit or credit card for the cost of the passport (depends upon number of pages) and courier fee at the time of submitting the application online. You will be sent a special code which will allow you to track your passport through all of its stages. In the event that you have lost your passport and need a temporary replacement, that can also be done online. It is more expensive than a normal passport, is usually good for one round trip only and will normally be issued by the British Consulate in Malaga. For those without computers, it is still possible to apply through the post and there are even different shops with English-speaking staff scattered around Spain where for a fee they will help you complete the forms and send them off for you.

Soho security call RESIDENTS of Soho in Malaga have for some time been calling for more vigilance in their streets, claiming an increase in the number of criminal acts is due to the lack of police officers in the area. The councillor of the Municipal Socialist Group, María del Carmen Martín, has demanded that the vity vouncil of Malaga “comply with what has been approved by the Local Government Board, and take note of the neighboorhood and merchant’s demands, which ask for more security.” According to the councillor, the local government approved the installation of 13 video surveillance cameras, but have since highlighted a lack of budget. Residents believe that the installation of such cameras in Soho ‘would help to increase security in this neighbourhood of the city, and to locate suspects who have committed some type of crime in the area in a short period of time.’ Councillor for Security, Salvador Trujillo, said “we are currently facing a considerable lack of neighbourhood police and this contributes to the increase in the number of criminal acts and the

Thousands at risk MALAGA is the Andalucian province with the most population at risk of flooding. In a period of 10 years, more than 14,600 people could be affected on the coastline. The first 10 kilometres of the coast are highly populated and pose the highest risk of inundations. A report prepared by the Sustainability Observatory and the town hall has evidenced the alarming situation. The recently published study states Andalucia as the third autonomous community with the most population at risk of floods, with 40,000 coastal residents exposed to
this phenomenon. Malaga is considered to accumulate the greatest risk due to all the residential homes built along the coastline. The most problematic point is in the surroundings of the mouth of Guadalhorce river, where almost 11,000 people could face inundations. The study looks to make this information available to public administrations in order to minimise the impact of future disasters. Investigators look to adapt to climate change and avoid the €800 million of damage caused by flooding every year.

Jon Leighton, whose son Tomas has four disabilities, has been regularly involved in charity and community events in a bid to raise awareness and resources for the disabled. Another British couple who attended the event were Jill and Mick Lindley, also devoted to the cause and have collected large amounts of the metal.
The donated ring pulls in question have diverse uses, but the objective of collecting is usually to provide materials for crafting products like clothing and accessories, which can then be sold to generate funds. ABAD needs these resources to carry on offering therapy and various services. In 2016 the town hall in Benalmadena bestowed lands to the organisation for the construction of a new comprehensive disability care complex, with the sole purpose to cover all the needs of disabled people in Benalmadena. Staff at ABAD reiterate the need for this global response to disability and how important the public’s implication and collaboration is. Dorothy and everyone who participated in the collection have helped shape the future of disability. Their altruistic endeavours have given back to an association that doesn’t stop giving to those who need it. The therapy and classes that ABAD provide are essential in making a positive impact in a lot of people’s lives.

Language for Community Meetings
Community Law Corner
“What is the correct language for a community meeting of owners?” This is a well worn question that has been asked, even argued over many times before and understandably so.
By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration
joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com
with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches
M A N Y communities especially throughout southern S pain have many owners who come from many different countries and they
speak just as many different languages. There are even communities that have no Spanishspeaking owners at all. I n others, often small communities, the foreign owners are mainly British and only understand English or the most commonly understood language by all owners is English. Although in some other areas this could be German and just occasionally French. So it follows that if no one speaks or understands Spanish but all understand for example English or German, then the meetings and the minutes are best in English or German. This language scenario is partly due to many owners being elderly retirees with only an everyday basic understanding of Spanish or owners who only visit a few times a year. U nderstandably for the owners who want to partici-
pate in the community meetings it can all be quite frustrating. Some years ago the legality of this situation finally came to a head and on November 15, 2002 the Spanish high court revoked a previous ruling that made it compulsory to hold community meetings in Spanish. U nless that is, someone complained. If so then the meeting and the minutes can be conducted and written in another language, for example English, but should also be translated into Spanish. As we are in Spain, some Spanish owners could understandably request the community administrator to hold the meetings in Spanish. H owever if the president only speaks English or only speaks E nglish and their own language, then the explanations, comments and speeches can be made in E nglish, but again if an
owner asks for a S panish translation then the community is obliged to provide one and if requested pay for an interpretor. T his said, many administrators will speak or will have multilingual staff who can perform this service without charge. So either way, the language conflict was resolved. Until recently that is. N owadays many more foreign owners are arriving who do not speak Spanish or the common language of the community, but also want a translation or interpretor. Some meetings are even held in several languages simultaneously. H owever and probably fortunately for the community the only obligation is for the meeting and minutes - if requested - to be translated from whatever language is used for the meeting into S panish and not into the languages of every owner
present. If an owner wants an additional F rench or R ussian translation then they have to arrange that for themselves. To sum up; when a community meeting is held in Spanish there is no need for any other translation, community meetings can be held in any language that suits the community. The only obligatory translation - if requested - is into Spanish, if such a request is made then the community of owners has to provide this translation and if necessary pay for an interpretor. The community can, but is not obliged to, translate or pay for the meeting and minutes to be translated into any other language. As usual we the solicitors for Intercala Community Administration advise the readers of our articles to seek competent advice in all matters relating to the law.

No relief for drought RECENT rainfall is barely noticeable in La Viñuela reservoir in Malaga Province. The weekend rains have provided respite for local farmers but haven’t made much of a difference to water reserves in the province. The long-awaited rain will not mean the end of the drought that has forced the Junta de Andalucia to impose new restrictions on agriculture. La Viñuela, the largest reservoir in the province, is still 30 per cent below capacity with the rain contributing less than one cubic hectometre to reserves. The agriculture sector is suffering the consequences and is receiving 25 per cent less water for irrigation than the past two years.

Work on the historic building will not begin until at least 2021. To kickstart construction on the natal home of the politician, a detailed blueprint is being studied by the Planning Department. Initial data points towards an investment of about €1.2 million, with future installations standing on 1,300 square metres of land. The project foresees the renovation of Canovas’ original house as well as the construction of a historic centre, a space for co-working, a library and an interior square for public use, all of which is still pending approval. Cánovas del Castillo was a Spanish politician and histori-
an, known for serving six terms as Prime Minister. He was born in Malaga and studied Law in Madrid, later being an integral part in the restoration of the Bourbon Monarchy to the Spanish throne. His support for the Bourbons and his key role in reducing the political influence of the working class, led Cánovas to gain many enemies. In 1897 he was shot by an Italian anarchist and didn’t live to see Spain lose her remaining colonies to the United States at the end of the Spanish-American War.

Public Hospitals joined the International Day Against Gender Violence on November 25 and showed their commitment to

Police explained that when they confirm gender violence, they notify the court immediately. In the most serious of cases, police are called to the hospital. Likewise, when there are suspicious of abuse but the victim does not confirm it, the Prosecutor’s Office is notified for further investigation.

IMPORTANT AREA: Minister Carazo and Mayor Mula visit the works.
Significant investment in upgrading port THE change of government of the J u n t a d e A n d a l u c i a f ro m l e f t o f centre PSOE to right of centre PP has made an immediate difference to certain towns on the Costa del Sol and one which has benefited considerably is Fuengirola. During the tenure of the previous Junta, the mayor of Fuengirola, Ana Mula who represents the PP wrote 30 letters and emails to the Junta asking for financial assistance to undertake work on the marina in the town as it was such an important area for commerce and tourism. All of these requests were to no avail, but since the new council took over the Junta (in a coalition between the PP and Ciudadanos) in January of this year, there have been some major policy changes and funds worth more than €1 million have been re-
leased for the project. This will allow Fuengirola to reach its global objective, the creation of a new port with more berths, more commercial areas and with large pedestrian areas. The first tranche of money has been spent on improvements to the fish market at a cost of €887,000 and a further €233,000 has been allocated to upgrading the storage facilities in the fish market, all of which has been paid for by the Junta. In addition, the town council has spent €455,000 on repair and waterproofing of commercial premises in the port which are located underneath the promenade. María Francisca Carazo designated as Minister for Development in the Junta de Andalucia has recently visited Fuengirola in order to see for herself the work that has been completed.
Temporary jobs THE Department of Employment of Fuengirola has accepted the task of managing job interviews on behalf of a currently unnamed large supermarket chain with stores in Estepona, Torremolinos, Mijas and Coin. These are short term roles for those who have knowledge of how to handle fresh food such as meat, fish, fruit and bakery items in a safe and hygienic manner with the roles lasting in the run up to Christmas and then Three Kings. Details of the roles are posted on www.empleo.fuengirola.es and those interested may also visit the employment department in the council offices in Los Boliches to leave their CV and register. The council is pleased to have been invited to list these positions and although none of the stores are based in Fuengirola, hopes that local residents will be encouraged to consider applying for positions at the nearest shops.
Against violence LAST Friday, mayor of Fuengirola, Ana Mula, stood at the entrance to the council chamber and read a statement in commemoration of the International Day against Violence against Women. The text confirmed that the people of Fuengirola stand united against this type of violence and urged society to become involved in ending this scourge.

Marbella SINDICATO Medico de Malaga (SMM) has reported that 75 per cent of the staff of the Agencia Sanitaria Costa del Sol have supported the strike called for by the absence of collective bargaining in the workforce. The association organised the protest, to which the rest of the unions of the three health centres of Marbella, Mijas and Benalmadena have joined. SMM denounces the ‘lack of sensitivity with long-term temporary workers,’ which represents ‘almost half of the staff’ of public agency professionals based in these
health centres. The original agreement of the Agencia Sanitaria Costa del Sol was negotiated in 2006 and expired in 2009, although it has continued for another 10 years despite multiple attempts to revisitnegotiations. The union asks that the areas generated by replacement rates such as leave and retirement also be covered in the collective agreement. Sindicato Medico de Malaga will convene striking on December 2 if the Andalucian Administration does not consider the claims of the workers.
Attempted robbery arrest WHEN an alert came into the National Police concerning an attempted robbery with violence which involved a man with a revolver in San Pedro Alcantara, two officers were dispatched. When they arrived they discovered a man dressed in a black balaclava and waving what appeared to be a revolver emerge from a Salon de Juegos (gaming room) in the town. As they challenged him, he shouted at them and then tried to run away but the officers brought him down and arrested him. It was then resolved that he was a 23-year-old Swede who had allegedly entered the business, threatening staff so that they would open the safe and give him the money contained inside, but for one reason or another they were unable to do so. When arrested, officers discovered that the gun was a replica and was not capable of firing live rounds.

Dangerous wasps were flying ants A NUMBER of reports were received by local authorities that there appeared to be a sudden swarming of dangerous wasps or hornets along the river road in San Pedro Alcantara. A health team was dispatched to the area to check to see whether there was any potential danger to residents and passers-by. They soon concluded that due to the recent autumn rain that in fact this marked the appearance of a form of flying ant known in Spanish as aluas and that they had emerged en masse ready to take wing. Whilst they may have been irritating because of the number involved, they are not dangerous and were actually following the way of nature as they were looking to mate.
Seeing red in Marbella for the Festive Season IN the run up to Christmas and Three Kings, Marbella Council intends to ensure that the entire city is clean, tidy and decked out with seasonal blooms.

In addition to putting out the plants, council workers will be involved in ensuring that all open areas over which the council has control will be pruned, mowed or simply cleaned to ensure that the run up to the festive season leaves Marbella looking at its very best for the benefit of visitors and residents alike.

COSTA BLANCA SOUTH
Rebuilding the coast THE revamping of the Torrevieja coastline began on November 25 with an ambitious project of regeneration of the beach of Los Locos that will continue for a decade. The first delivery of 12,000 cubic metres of sand, originally planned for the beginning of 2020, was brought forward in view of the impact caused by the storm in September which left the central section of the beach with barely two metres of sand between the promenade and the sea, when a few years ago in the narrowest area there were around 15 metres. The objective is to widen this central section of the beach by 20 metres, which has been gradually receding in recent years. They will use sand extracted from a Murcia quarry which is clearly a larger and denser granulate, that should withstand the impact of new storms with more guarantees. In 2017 a study of the dynamics of sea currents in this urban beach area was carried out to determine which could be the best option when regenerating the coastal space, with a budget of more than €65,000.

The eight to 12-year-old pupils from San Miguel de ALmuñecar and Las Gaviotas de La Herradura Schools visited the Road Safety Education Caravan of Fundacion Mapfre for theoretical and practical workshops. According to organisers, the aim was ‘laying the foundations for safer, responsible and respectful citizens’ when it comes to road use and knowledge. The safety caravan was parked up at Aquatropic park in collaboration with the Local Police. A spokesperson said: “It is a fun way for schoolchildren to learn to avoid risk behaviours, anticipate accidents, recognise correct procedures and the meaning and importance of traffic signs and prevention rules.” A team of specialised monitors gave theoretical classes on basic concepts related to safety and prevention. Afterwards, practical sessions were held in a go-kart circuit where everything learned was applied.

This year Almeria has been making the utmost of its status as national gastronomy capital, and the three 10-metre high crown installations made up of 155,000 lights, plus Christmassy music show, are seen as fitting Festive Season decorations. The giant crowns will stand on the Mirador de la Rambla from December 5 to January 6. City Promotion councillor Carlos Sanchez said the elaborate decorations were a way for the council to thank all the city’s residents for their commitment to the gastronomy 2019 initiative, commenting, “I am sure they will be enjoyed as much be adults as children.” The councillor also stressed the aim was to continue to promote the city as a foodie destination, and said that Christmas would mark the transition for the use of the new ‘Almeria, Gastronomy City’ logo from the beginning of 2020 onwards.
THE first of 28 new buses reaching 18-metres in length were deployed on the roads in Palma last week. A presentation was held on one of the new buses on Avenida Antoni Maura, where it was explained by EMT executives that the buses will be tested on two routes - numbers 3 and 15. They will later be tried out on lines 5, 7 and 8, so that drivers can get used to the different turning angles of the city. The 18-metre buses, built by Scania, are costing Palma Town Hall €11.2 million. These buses, plus shorter ones of 12- and 15-metres made by Iveco and Man, will be phased in so that they can all be in operation by spring of next year. The buses run on natural gas and use solar energy for interior equipment. They have control cameras, four doors, two screens as well as LED lighting.

Delta Air Lines has informed that this route will no longer operate during the summer. The change means bad news for tourism on the Costa del Sol. The airport had been expecting the operator to announce the flight would run all year round. The American company will concentrate their activity in Madrid and Barcelona with flights to New York and Atlanta all year round. Delta has given no explanations to justify the decision, but the airline has urged customers to continue flying between the Costa del Sol and New York from Madrid and Barcelona or with its partners KLM and Air France through connections in Amsterdam or Paris. The airline has warned customers with reservations will be relocated on alternative flights and express their regret for any inconvenience caused.

Money laundering probe
A SPANISH judge has recommended to prosecutors that former Syrian Vice President Rifaat AlAssad, the ex iled uncle of Bashar Assad, and 13 others be put on trial charged with belonging to a criminal organisation and money laundering. He suggests that AlAssad and his eight sons along with others have sys tematically laundered money taken from Syria over a period of 40 years. This judge ordered the confiscation of 500 properties in 2018, many of which were in Marbella and Puerto Banus alongside a huge tract of land
By John Smith in Benahavis on which he planned to build a centre for members of his reli gious sect which was said to be worth €60 million alone. The court alleges that in total the 14 people investigated managed to launder at least €600 million, al though it is difficult to be totally accu rate as they have not been helping with court enquiries up until now. Whether this case will ever come to court is questionable as AlAssad is over 80 and the exact whereabouts of
all of those who might be prosecuted is currently not known. Interestingly, his assets in Gibraltar were never seized and in 2018, the Supreme Court there approved the sale of a number of properties includ ing 6 to 9 Waterport to a family trust which is 75 per cent owned by three brothers, one of whom was at the time and is still the Financial Services Minister there.

I find this strange because my pension is only €850 per month and they have billed me for almost the entire amount. I need this to live on as I do not have any other income and a sick wife to look after. I need ad vice as to what to do. R M (Costa Blanca)
Your first step is to find out why the YOU AND THE Tax Agency has LAW IN SPAIN embargoed your account. Go in person to the tax office of your district with your bank notice. If the Agencia Tributaria has seized your bank account, this is almost certainly be cause of unpaid Spanish tax over a period of time. If you have not received notification that you owed tax, something has gone wrong. The Tax Agency is the place to sort this out.

Uber taxi EVER since private hire (VTC) company Uber arrived in Spain, it has been in conflict with taxi dri vers (who pay large amounts for their licences) and many city councils. Now in a breakthrough move, it has agreed that it will offer taxi and VTC services through its UberX platform on a trial basis with 50 taxis in Madrid. If this is successful then the company hope to recruit many of the 16,000 licensed taxi drivers in the city thanks to a change in lo cal law which allows set prices to be charged.

Draft budget THE Spanish draft budget for 2020 shows that the country will continue to have high debt ratios but the EU is unlikely to reject it as with yet another minority government anything radical would be difficult to have agreed by opposition parties.
No recession LUIS DE GUINDOS, Vice President of the European Central Bank (ECB) and former Spanish government minister has said that ECB “is convinced that the possibility of a recession in Europe is very small.” The only current fear is for reduced growth.
Bank raises mortgage rates BANKS in Spain have been offering very competitive interest rates on mortgages, but one of the largest, Santander, has announced that it is dropping out of the price war. Indeed it is planning to put up its rates on variable mortgages as it tries to protect its profitability
which has been dropping during 2019. Mortgages attached to the Euribor rate are still low when compared to many other countries, but the bank is determined to make more money from its current lending estimated at more than €50 billion.

Black Friday is almost here THIS year, Friday November 29 is known as Black Friday and then the following Monday is Cyber Monday when supposedly many stores both online and in towns reduce prices to stimulate trade. Like many other marketing trends, this one started in the USA and became popular in the early 2000s as the day after Thanksgiving when people start to think about their Christmas shopping as many take the day off following the Thursday holi day. It is possible that the phrase

BLACK FRIDAY: Survival of the fittest.
New Fintech business PLAID is a financial technology company based in San Francisco which builds a technology platform that allows consumers and businesses to interact with their bank accounts, check balances, and
make payments through financial technology applications. After an initial successful launch in the UK where it has taken over two smaller companies it is now expanding to open operations in
France, Ireland and Spain. Initial Spanish arrangements include agreements with BBVA, La Caixa and Santander and this Fintech company is now worth more than €250 million.
Black Friday originated in Philadelphia due to the volume of pedestrian and vehicle traffic which occurred on that day and it has since been adopted all over the world. Another suggestion is that it is the day when retail stores start going into profit for the year, with their accounts coming out of the red and going into the black. Whatever the reason, this has become a popular day to look for bargains all over the world and Spain joins in the fun with special offers being made both online and in store. As different companies fight for market share, so Black Friday has actually become stretched and offers start in the middle of November. Probably the biggest online participant is Amazon which does make a number of very decent discounts from normal prices and most of the major retail outlets in Spain now join in, so there are bargains to be found, but hope fully, unlike some other coun tries, there will be no fights at the tills.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT AS most of you know, I don’t usually ‘do’ politics in this column. In my opinion none of ‘em can be trusted. The majority are either full on liars, or at best blatantly economical with the truth. Frankly I would never vote for any of them. However with this week’s blurb I simply have to make an exception. In the light of Corbyn’s Labour manifesto, it is undoubtedly the responsibility of all clear thinking UK citizens to do everything in their power to keep this highly dangerous individual as far from the portals of Number 10 as possible. The agenda of this man and his fol lowers are quite categorically a mere red whisker away from the doctrines of pure communism. Everything that comes out of his mouth leans clearly toward the extreme left ideologies of the Marxist dictators he appears to hold in such high esteem. Have no doubt whatsoever, should he get into power the Red leaders of the world will begin arriving at Num ber 10 in convoy. He hates everything the UK stands for. He will desecrate

its fighting forces; expunge the UK nuclear defences and probably, after
forming new alliances with his com munist and terrorist pals, take them
out of NATO altogether. While the Nationalisation of most of the vital commodities is taking place (thereby handing his party and Unions com plete control over the UK infrastruc ture) he will be busily scheming how to downgrade the monarchy to mere pawns in his own New Leftist regime. There are two ways of introducing the politics of Communism into a country. Violence or stealth. With the former obviously out of the question, this party of dangerous miscreants has gone hell bent for the latter. Be lieve me; this devious lot doesn’t care a ruble about what the result of any referendum is likely to be. They couldn’t care less whether their poli cies are workable or affordable. The only ambition they have is to gain power at any price. To achieve these ends they are prepared to offer up any bribe they think will suck the public in. Free transport. Free dental care. Higher wages for less work. No education fees. Free child care. Pen sion reimbursements for women (not costed!) Increased benefits for all, etc
etc. Plus, to appeal to its envy riddled young leftie followers, the persecu tion of anyone who has been suc cessful in just about any form of capi talist enterprise whatsoever. A careful look at their Nationalisa tion plans alone should be enough to wave glaring red flags. Where in their party of misfits are they going to find all the expertise of experienced busi ness personal to replace those they intend to oust from these highly spe cialised managerial positions? Can you really imagine the likes of Diana Abbott running the board rooms of British Rail? Let me quickly add, that the rest of this shower in the race for power is none too im pressive either. But I would vote for any of them, including the Greens, if it helped keep this bunch of antise matic commies away from our chil dren’s future. For all their sakes we owe them at least that.

Millenials are in a different world 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
“ONE in seven guests spent more than £400 to attend a wedding with the high est cost coming in at £1,000.” A recent study found that one in three millennials would fall into debt this year: a quarter of those surveyed said they’d missed paying bills or rent after splashing too much cash on clothes, gifts, accommo dation and hen/stag parties. One in 10 said they’d been forced to sell possessions to meet the costs, while one in seven was forced to move back in with their parents. The war and postwar generations look on with incredulity, but should we? We’re all a product of our environment and the times in which our values were formed and developed. Wartime kids grew up with next to nothing, while postwar baby boomers had their values significantly im pacted by their wartime parents. But millenials have grown up in a very different world. As a generation they’ve been presented with everything they wanted (iPhones, iPads, PlayStations... you
BRIDES-TO-BE: Want to look good for Instagram. name it). Little wonder they have no ap preciation of the value of money they’ve had it all handed to them on a plate thanks to their parents’ generation. Maybe an up bringing on Scrabble, Cluedo and Monop oly would have served them better. Additionally, “42 per cent of the study’s 2,886 respondents felt ‘under pressure’ to make their wedding look appealing in pho tographs on social media.” How pathetic! It’s for the couple and the families, not the general public. How sad that that these bridestobe can’t simply think about the importance of the vows they’ll be making instead of worrying about how they look on Instagram. Don’t get me wrong! It’s perfectly fine to want any event to look good and be the
best it can be, but surely that should be for the benefit of those attending? What a weird idea that it should be for ‘social me dia.’ Finally and on a different note, as we head further into election season, I leave you with this gem from Mark Twain: ‘Politicians and diapers must be changed often and for the same reason.’ Haha!

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING
FROM L to R : Helen Stainton (née Storey), Paul Stubbs, Nicole King, Paul Stagnell-Howe and Andy Mitchell.
LAST Saturday I went back to my hometown in England and it was eerie to see that the biggest change in 40 years was that Safeway is now a Waitrose. Of course other shops have also changed hands and had facelifts, but very little else. It was a real blast from the past. The reason for my return though was a bittersweet one: to pay trib ute to our dear classmate Eric who passed away suddenly last year. Thanks to some of his closer friends we once again assembled in the freezing cold school chapel faced with Father Martin for a special memorial ceremony. The service was truly lovely as was hanging out afterwards in the Club House; just like old times; almost. We met up again the next day in what used to be ‘The King’s Manor,’ our preferred haunt; we weren’t yet ready to say our final goodbyes to Eric or the nostalgia. Again, taking time out from our grown up lives we
EWN 69
To the class of 1980 relaxed back into being those kids for just a while longer, sharing sto ries about Eric, the antics they got up to as boarders and other tales of nuns, priests, friends and ‘foe.’ It was as if it were yesterday and yet I am now a grandmother and have, like my classmates, done much since we graduated. Some say one should never go back, but some times a reminder of from whence we came and with whom we shared those formative years is just what the doctor ordered. It was comfort
ing in a strange way to be there to share our reminiscences, but also hauntingly sad and a poignant re minder that life goes on, with us or without us. Many of us may never meet again, for many reasons, but I now know that each one of us has left our mark on the College (whether they recognise it or not) and that those years have undoubtedly left their mark on us, all of us, uniting us in a unique way forever and al ways: we are the class of 1980!

Ah, it’s good to be back! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man WOW that was an unpleasant couple of weeks. You may have noticed that my column has been missing. Unfortunately I wasn’t on holiday but was in hospital. All in all everything went very well. If I did have one grump it would be that it’s very frustrating that, as I have several ongoing prob lems, the doctors don’t listen to the pa tient. I am diabetic and one of the treat ments they gave me had steroids in it which affects my diabetes which then went off the scale. They won’t let you administer your own insulin so I had to take what I was given which they decid ed would be less than I take at home. I pointed out they wouldn’t be able to control my normal levels with this dosage let alone the crazy elevated ones I had now. Just to give you an idea it’s normally 100 and was now hitting 400! Eventually, after me refusing to take anything with steroid in until they listened to me, the two doctors in
volved talked to each other and we got it sorted. But it was a worrying few days. There has to be petrol station eti quette. Please tell me why people fill their car then go off to pay whilst you are sitting behind them waiting, along with all the others at other pumps, and your one decides to then do their week ly shopping. What! Firstly, why would you shop in a petrol station? Except for chocolate or maybe the wife’s last minute forgotten birthday or Christmas present. And secondly, if you do decide to do it, move your car first. You must realise how annoying it is to have to sit there watching all the cars that arrive after you, fill up and go whilst you are sitting there like a lemon. Then, after what seems to be a lifetime, they come strolling back to their car. I’m always so tempted to say something buy if Mrs S is with me I’m not allowed. Maybe the petrol stations should have a sign up, but then I guess they don’t care as long as people are spending money. Or give me a job controlling petrol station traffic along with the other job I’d like at Carrefour moving all the cars out of the disabled bays that don’t have blue badges! Ah, it’s good to be back!

PROTECTED PRINCE THIS Prince Andrew business is an absolute disgrace. And we can all be sure this will be dusted nicely under the carpet. At least we can thank our lucky stars he has been sacked from his cushy day job. To think he was earning half a mil lion pounds of hardearned tax payers money. We were inadver tently funding the comings and goings of a man who was either involved in or knew about some disgusting actions. Now the FBI want to interview him under oath and the UK will no doubt be protecting him. Why should we? He is part of the royal family but he has certainly not served his country well. Of course, in a few months, the topic won’t even be open for discus sion. Someone will have cleverly pushed it all aside and we will be enraged with some new thing. People like him need to come down from their protected palaces and finally face the conse quences. David Miller
Weekly to express my admiration for the Spanish Health System. I have seen your articles about the issues they are having and how they don’t have enough staff. To me this just makes it even more admirable. I think it’s time to actually give them the praise they deserve. Since I came to Spain, I’ve had different health problems and the doctors have al ways been fantastic. You get the occasional person who is rude, but that is just part of life! I recently went to my local health centre and got the winter flu shot like I do every year. When I think I’m not even originally from this country and I still get exceptional service, it just shows how good the European system is. Let’s give these people the praise they deserve. And I hope the government gives them more funding. Julie Campbell
SHAMED: Prince Andrew has stepped down.

OUR VIEW
Joining together ON Monday November 25, millions of people around the globe came together to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The day raises awareness for women subjected to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence. The date was set in honour of the 1960 assassinations of the three Mirabal sisters in the Dominican Republic. Dictator Rafael Trujillo ordered the killings of the political activists after they opposed his rule, thus turning the sisters into symbols of feminine resistance. The United Nations and the European Commission encourage governments and organisations to celebrate activities in support of the movement. In Spain, a law was unanimously approved in 2004 to fight against the murders of women by their partners or ex-partners. Consensus was reached again in 2017 with a State Pact against Gender Violence. Since 2003, 1,027 women have been murdered by their partners, with 52 murders so far in 2019. This year, general agreement has been broken by Vox, now part of eight autonomous governments and 365 town halls. The far-right party has blocked the approval of conviction statements. Vox argues that ‘violence has no gender’ and refuses to adopt the term ‘domestic violence.’ The secretary of State for Equality, Soledad Murillo, considers their actions “a serious lack of responsibility and respect towards the victims of gender violence.”

Admiration DEAR Letters, I read your article ‘Pregnant Australian Firefighter is doing it for the Community,’ Novem ber 13. This reported that Kat RobinsonWilliams is doing dangerous firefighting even though she is expecting a baby. I hope that she will take care of herself and her baby because as well as the danger of the bushfires, firefighting foams have been found to con tain harmful cancercausing chemicals. I am full of admira tion for her bravery and care for others. Best wishes, Ann Wills
Deserved praise
Is it time to give all UK cops a gun? The penalties/punishment needs to be far more severe. Too much of this sort of crime gets away with a slap on the wrist. Also I think if parents were to be fined for their ‘little dar lings’ appalling behaviour it might act as some sort of deterrent. Sharon Wenham
Would your best pal do this for you? What an excellent company and what a star that driver is, well done sir I raise my hat to you. Ian Forrest
Hey hey! Tesco arrives! Soo… The new ‘Tesco’ aka The Food Co opened
COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK here in Mazarron, Murcia a few weeks ago. The prices are excellent... Cheaper than Iceland’s... and a great range of products. Well needed, jobs have also been created. I shop there for a few things we miss but also if things are cheaper than our local English shops and in some cases cheaper than Con sum. Then where do you think we will shop? We can’t get everything, we need to still support Mer cadona and Lidl. I'm sorry but if things are cheaper than other supermarkets then where will you go? Lisa Bailey
How many times a day do you swear? I refuse to answer that on the grounds it might incriminate me. Brenda McKeague
Do you trust Uber drivers? I’ve used Uber often in and around San Pedro this last month as had problems with my car. Never had to wait more than five to 10 minutes for pick up. Quality cars, better than local taxis. Cheaper and more convenient, especially being able to se lect pick up and drop off points. Nothing to dislike at all! Don’t have trust issues.

YOUR STARS
TIME OUT
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.
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.
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.
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. You then agree and it looks like their idea.
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, though.
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, though, to let them think any bright ideas were theirs. Giving praise now will mean it coming back to you ten-fold. Be aware that a close friend is in a delicate frame of mind.
‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’
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. Unless, of course, you are determined to run yourself. With a lot of excitement in the air it is possible for you to show just what fun you can be. Enjoy!
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.

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. An attempt to bring romance into your life may be more successful than you think.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) 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 in the limelight, it comes as no 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?

His comedy spans generations in a way that few others have ever managed. Featuring an introduction and original illustrations from the Big Yin himself, it is an inspirational and riotously funny read, a fitting celebration of Scotland’s greatest ever comedian. Connolly was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and prostate cancer on the same day six years ago, just as he reached 70 years old. Although the cancer is beaten, the Parkinson’s won’t go away and in December 2018, after 50 years of belly-laughs, energy and outrage, Billy Connolly announced his retirement from live stand-up comedy. It has been an extraordinary career.

2020 hair trends EACH year, without fail, we are tempted with an array of new hair trends from slen der bobs to crop cuts, silvers to pastel pinks. Leading fashion publications have revealed the new trends and styles to look out for in the New Year, 2020. If the emphasis was on natural texture and ‘easy’ hairstyles in 2019, 2020 promises this and more. It looks as though it will be the year for redheads. Copper tones are going to make a statement. Take a copper shampoo to make reds even more lustrous, give depth to brunette hair and a peachy tone to blondes. Chuck out those straighteners as the way forward is curly! Curls will be big so if you don’t have a mass of waves already, it’s worth investing in a diffuser to get perfectly balanced curls. Trending currently is strong, vibrant colour contrasting we’re not talking honey blend NEW preclinical research re ported in animal models shows that exposure to compounds found in mari huana called cannabinoids (CBs), which includes cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), during early pregnancy can cause malformations in the developing embryo.
ing into blonde, this is white with a sud den burst of orange. However, hairstylists also say that, in terms of colour, brunettes will shun harsh blonde in favour of richer, warmer shades but not standard chocolate, more likely cinnamon tones, hazelnut and tobac coesque colours. Layers will remain popular, but rather than bulky and blunt, they will be lighter and more flexible to create a looser look. The bob will remain strong, but for 2020 will be more fo cused around the jawline. And when it comes to accessories, it’s all about going back to nature simple and rustic as opposed to sparkle and sophistica tion.
Fetal findings The research also demon strated that coexposure to CBs and alcohol increased the likelihood of birth de fects involving the face and brain. The study, funded by the National Institute on Al cohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health, was pub lished in Scientific Reports. “Prenatal alcohol exposure is a leading preventable cause of birth defects and neurodevelopmental abnor malities in the United States,” said NIAAA Director, George F Koob, PhD. “Since marihuana and alcohol are frequently used simultane ously, the combined effects of cannabinoids and alcohol are worrisome as well as the dangers of either substance alone.” The detrimental effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on human development are well known and include an array of lifelong physical, cognitive, and behavioural problems

In the study, scientists led by Scott Parnell, PhD, at the Bowles Centre for Alcohol Studies at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, administered a variety of CBs alone and in combination with alcohol in varying amounts to mice on day eight of pregnancy, which is similar to the third and fourth weeks of pregnancy in humans. The CBD amounts adminis tered were within what is considered a therapeutic range for several medical conditions in humans. The THC concentration adminis tered was similar to levels reached by a person smoking marihuana. The researchers found that onetime exposure to CBD and THC caused eye, brain, and facial malformations similar to those caused by prenatal alcohol exposure alone. The researchers also found that when mice were given both CBs and alcohol, the likelihood of these birth de fects more than doubled.

Catch up on the zzzz’s DULL skin, poor concentration and a susceptibility to illness are just some of the issues you might face when you don’t get enough sleep. Experts have revealed the full ex tent of what happens to your body and mind when you suffer from sleep deprivation. According to sleep.org, humans spend a third of their lives asleep, during which time, the brain is restoring itself. While you’re busy catching up on zzz’s, your body clears itself of adenosine, which al lows you to awaken feeling alert and refreshed. Many of the critical restorative functions in the body like tissue repair and muscle growth occur mostly or only during sleep. During REM sleep, muscles are relaxed, which can help relieve ten sion and reduce symptoms of cer tain types of chronic pain. Just like you couldn’t mentally focus for 24 hours straight at your day job, your body needs a break to chill out so it can conquer the next day with gus to.
A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP: Helps keeps the mind and body fit and healthy. A poor immune system is a tell tale sign of a lack of shuteye. Without proper sleep, the body is unable to perform its natural healing processes including repair
ing damaged cells or releasing ‘fighter’ cells. This means if you’re exposed to bugs or viruses, your body may be more susceptible to illness.
Similarly, the skin suffers dra matically when we do not have a good night’s rest. While you are sleeping the body is working hard to produce a spe
cific type of growth hormone as well as refreshing and repairing cells. If you are missing out on sleep on a regular basis, collagen produc tion decreases which means skin can lose elasticity and firmness at tributes which makes us look healthy and refreshed. And, according to Sleep for Health Foundation, moodiness and an inability to regulate how you feel can be the result of sleep de privation and can lead to all man ner of personal and professional problems. In addition, those who repeated ly fail to get enough sleep are at a higher increased risk of chronic dis ease including conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain and obesity. This is because as you sleep the body produces leptin, a hormone related to energy expenditure. A lack of sleep reduces this hor mone and leads the brain to pro duce more of the hormone ghrelin, which triggers feelings of hunger.

Charli is also a songwriter, writing international hits like Iggy Azalea’s ‘Beg For It,’ Selena Gomez’ ‘Same Old Love’ and ‘Señorita’ for Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello, which topped the charts in over 35 countries worldwide this summer. Aside from her writing, she has her own management company, modelled for Agent Provocateur’s Christmas range, and has just unveiled a new Netflix series titled ‘I’m With the Band: Nasty Cherry.’ Inspired by all-female bands like The Runaways, she banded together four of her talented friends to form Nasty Cherry, the kind of band she wishes she’d had when growing up.
HIT SONGWRITER: Essex born.

There will be just one performance of the ballet that is ideal for adults and children alike at the Felipe VI Auditorium on Saturday De cember 28 and past experience has shown that this ballet invariably sells out regardless of the company presenting it.

This week Celebrity & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala makes a stunning soup ideal for the festive Christmas season!
Celeriac and Truffles for Christmas? Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com I RECENTLY visited my dad in the UK who lives alone after my mother passed away a few years ago. I was talking to him about food (surprise, surprise!) and soups came up. I have never made a soup he said. What!?! … Dad is 84 in Janu ary and has never made a soup? That’s probably because my mum used to do the cooking. It was great seeing my dad so in terested in cooking and he kept asking me questions constantly about how to make things, espe cially a chunky vegetable soup. He does cook a bit at home nowadays and recently has got in to some of the chefs and their food which before he would never have been interested in. I like that chef from the pub that has a Michelin thing he told me. You mean Tom Kerridge? Yeah that’s the one! I remember years ago when I was on the TV he hardly watched my shows. One year I was on all
four channels (there was no Sky back then) and I called to ask if they had seen my new show called Remote Control Chef. My mother said we have seen it before. I replied you haven’t seen this one; it’s a totally new show! But they had seen me cook on TV many times. My mother was a great cook but didn’t really follow chefs, she did her own thing. In those days my father was more interest ed in politics or Second World War films than food. I flew back to my home in Spain a few days later and had a missed call from dad. “Sorry to bother you Steve but can you just run me through that soup again,” as if he was making a dish using molecular gastronomy! I sent him an eightminute video with step by step instructions on what size to cut the vegetables and how to sweat them off and how to make a stock that it all cooks in. He called me the following day brimming full of enthusiasm for this simple but tasty soup, which he loved! It actually made me feel quite satisfied being able to help him. So I asked him what he want ed for Christmas and he said “I want to be able to make celeriac and white truffle soup”!
Steven with his dad.
Not a bad idea because it is not complicated and it is so special, I would suggest that you consider it for Christmas Day or for any Christmas entertaining. Dad has turned into a real food
ie these days, he eats out a lot, reads abut food and cooks at home. For my generation that is pretty normal, but I remember all those years ago when I was train ing and my dad asked if I was gay.
“Gay as in not straight?” I asked. “Yes,” he said. “Why?” I asked. “Well any son of mine wanting to cook must be a poof!” he said. Well no I am not gay, but I sup pose back then in the 70’s not many men were interested in cooking. For me it was a way of express ing my creative side in the only way that I knew, through food. Even back then I made plates look creative. I remember my first ever TV show was on ITV for Anglia TV in 1981 and I was teaching people how to present food. I took a tomato and removed the skin mak ing it into a rose. “By putting the rose on your avocado and prawns it makes it look great” I said! In this day and age that sounds horrendous! Nowadays we would cut the avocado perfectly with an electric slicer and the prawns would hit a sousvide machine in a spicy marinade and there would be an avocado puree and some thing crisp like a thin dried flat bread or dehydrated vegetable to add textures. The construction would be like a piece of art on the plate, Picasso style and the flavours would be in credible. How things have changed!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Celeriac and White Truffle Velouté Ingredients This recipe can also be good for vegans, see notes below with changes 100g butter (replace with 1 tablespoon olive oil if vegan) 1 onion finely chopped 2 cloves garlic finely chopped 1 leek white only, finely chopped 2 sticks celery finely chopped 2 sprigs thyme 700g celeriac peeled and cut into small 2cm cubes 1 litre chicken stock (or vegetable stock if vegan) 200ml double or thick cream (or coconut milk if vegan) 1 teaspoon of white or black truffle pieces A little white truffle oil 1 tablespoon of crispy onions (cebollas frito) Maldon salt White pepper
Method 1. Heat a large saucepan to a medium heat and add half of the butter and a little olive oil and then add the onion, celery and garlic and fry (sweat) for a couple of minutes to just soften but do not colour. 2. Add the thyme sprigs then add the chopped celeriac. Cook on low heat for another two minutes stirring well. 3. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15/ 20 minutes, or until the celeriac is tender. 4. Blend the soup to a fine purée and return it to pan. 5. Add the cream and whisk in the remaining butter. 6. Season with salt and white pepper. 7. Add a small teaspoon of truffle pieces to the soup 8. Pour the hot soup into little bowls 9. Add a drizzle of white truffle oil and a drizzle of corian der oil (optional) 10. Finish with a teaspoon of crispy onions on top of each soup (see photo)

“
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.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

Classic Car Club of Andalucía
Big Cats Growl again in November! E
ARLIER this month saw the CCCA hold its classic car run and lunch and, last weekend, was the turn of the Big Cats, the JEC ( Jaguar Enthusiasts Club) to take to the roads of Andalucia and enjoy their monthly run and lunch. Organisers, Philip and Jenny Wray, had planned a super route starting with a breakfast at Venta Jose Carlos which is situated on the Almogia road just off the top end of the Malaga by-pass. The Venta was busy with Jaguar enthusiasts from 10.00am as coffee and bacon was consumed and participants had time to greet each other and mill around each-other’s cars. Not every car would be a Jaguar, as the Club is for Jaguar enthusiasts who may not always have a ‘Big Cat’ available. John and Marion Richardson brought along a very pretty, bright red Pontiac Firebird whilst Angela Veglio had her glorious black V8 Audi R8 which was much admired by all. Ian Ashworth and Claudia Langer brought along Ian’s very pretty black Lexus SC430 which is a very swish, luxurious way of getting around the countryside. However, Jaguars made up most of the numbers and it was good to see so many different models out and about enjoying the countryside and, more important, the driving! The XK8 seems to be a very popular enthusiasts’ choice nowadays, they are beautiful, wellappointed and powerful cars that are reliable, well-built and relatively easily available without stretching budgets. They are also very comfortable to travel in and have cavernous luggage space! That reflects in both JEC and CCCA clubs here in Spain as there are usually a number of both convertible and fixed head versions out on these events. Philip and Jenny Wray have a very pretty, black, convertible XK8 and there were many others presented at the start along with a brace of F-Types in both convertible and fixed head form. Older XJ variants were plentiful, taking their occupants around the countryside with the usual ‘Grace, pace and space’ as the Jaguar adverts always proclaimed! Later XKR Jaguars, the new shape, supercharged variants are also popular and not expensive to buy and run. Two or three were out including a red convertible in the hands of Jack Weiss and another black convertible run by Andre and Jose Vieleers. After an 11.00am briefing by top JEC man, Philip Wray, the route set off north, by-passing the lakes and heading through Almogia. A stunning and very enjoyable piece of road but need-

ing great care with many cyclists descending the hill at speed and using rather a lot of both sides of the road… From Almogia, the route headed still further north where, when reaching the village of Pastelero, turned off west to head over the mountain just below the Torcal, south of Antequera. Here was found some rarely used roads that gave staggering views out over the Torcal which were enjoyed before the route came through La Joya, joining the main Torcal loop before turning south through Vale de Abdalajis and on through Alora. A coffee stop was most welcome at ‘The Barrels Bar’ or, to give it its correct title, Bar La Herradura, in Zalea and another opportunity for a chat and a look at the cars before heading off again across the new road by Vilafranco del Guadalhorce, by-passing Coin, to head towards Mijas and a very welcome stop for a glass of cava at Barranco Blanco in the woods there. From here, participants headed towards Mijas, turning off to go down the A-7053 and skirt Entrerrios before coming into La Cala de Mijas and finishing for lunch at Restaurante Ole just outside the village near La Cortijera. After a much-needed ‘Copa de Bienvenida’ the lunch menu started with cold Iberian meats and Manchego cheese, fried prawns, clams in a butter sauce and home-made croquetas. Main course had a choice of fillet of pork, entrecôte steaks or a loin of cod baked in butter. The meats came with a choice of sauce and the pudding was a marvelous, blackcurrant cheesecake. A generous allowance of pink, white or red
wines was provided and most all agreed that this, for €30, was good value indeed. December Events The CCCA will be busy in December. On the 3rd, next Tuesday, the Club will have its annual Christmas Party at Treetops Restaurante in El Chaparral. This will be a ‘Black tie and Posh Frocks’ affair, there will be canapés and cava served on arrival and the Club will be entertained for dining and dancing by the fabulous Karen Cooper. This is a members only evening, but members’ guests will be most welcome. The CCCA will also run its annual Christmas classic car run and lunch on Saturday, December 7. The start venue has yet to be decided, but the finish will be at Restaurante Valparaiso, near Mijas, where prizes will be presented for the best Christmasdressed crew and the best dressed car too! This is always a really fun day with most members getting in to the Christmas Spirit. There is a plan to have a special ‘Boxing Day’ run too, but we’ll have more information on that in our next issue.
Always a good lunch to finish!
Philip and Jenny Wray, JEC Costa del Sol.
Until, the next time,
Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

Villa trump the Toon Army NEWCASTLE got the game started at Villa Park, and SaintMaximin’s early cross bounced harmlessly through to Heaton. The game saw a lively start, Newcastle tried to play the ball out of defence, but the home team didn’t give them any time or space, and after trying on the left, trying through Dubravka and trying on the right, they eventually gave it away, and Douglas Luiz had a shot that deflected wide. On the 13 minute mark, Villa had their first real chance. From a throwin they attacked. Grealish dummied gave Targett space on the left to consider his options, and he fired in a delicious low cross that El Ghazi looked destined to turn in, but it did n’t quite turn in. Thirtytwo minutes and we saw the first goal which went to the home side. Hourihane tapped a free kick to Greal ish, who teed him up. An ex tra couple of feet allowed
VILLA: Never looked like losing. Hourihane to curl the ball around the static wall and just inside the post and Villa Park erupted as Villa took the lead. Three minutes later Greal ish got near the Newcastle penalty area again, and he was brought down again. Fer
nandez was booked. Nasty challenge and clearly the Toon were under instruction to target the wizard Grealish. Villa from the free kick scored again one freekick goal for Hourihane, and one freekick assist! Dummett just stopped running as it
curled into the sixyard box. Behind him, El Ghazi had put Villa 20 up. Newcastle had got this all wrong tactically. The 10 men behind the ball approach was clearly not working, the hack Grealish whenever he’s in the vicinity

of the area tactic was just a few extra hundreds and thousands of idiocy atop an already silly cake. Villa deservedly lead at halftime. There had not been very many actual goalscoring chances other than the actual goals, but it’s
been a half of two halves. In the first, Newcastle lacked ambition. In the second, they lacked quality. Second half Newcastle threw on big Andy Carroll and changed tactics lumping the ball up to the big Geordie forward but it was to no avail, both sides had chances in the second half, but in all honesty with their 20 lead Villa never looked like losing this and saw the game out with a scoreless second half. A more than decent game for the neutral, even if both of the goals came from set pieces and there weren’t a lot of clear opportunities from open play. Villa have an excellent mid field and it’s a pleasure to see the ball go through them; Newcastle have SaintMax imin, who’s fun in his way and could at any moment start to actually contribute to actual goals, and a defence shoddy enough to make something interesting likely at some point.
Mission Accomplished For Manchester City PEP GUARDIOLA insisted it was mission accomplished as Man chester City booked their place in the Champions League last 16 for a seventh successive season despite a lacklustre 11 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday. Guardiola’s side were well below their best at the Etihad Stadium, but Ilkay Gundogan’s second half strike put them on course to wrap up first place in Group C with one game to spare. Although Manor Solomon equalised for Shakhtar, Atalan ta’s win over Dinamo Zagreb en sured City can’t be knocked off top spot. “We have qualified. We played so good in second half. The group stage is always tricky but the target was to qualify and we have done it,” Guardiola said. “Now we have one competi tion already done we play the last game qualified as first in the group so we can focus on the Premier League until we arrive in the cups.” With the group clinched, Guardiola has the bonus of being
able to rest players for the trip to Zagreb on December 11. That is especially important as the Zagreb fixture comes be tween vital Premier League matches against Manchester United and Arsenal. While City won’t give up their Premier League title without a fight, Liverpool are in such a strong position that Europe could provide Guardiola’s best hope of a major prize this term. Guardiola won the Champions League twice as Barcelona boss but the last of those triumphs came in 2011. He hasn’t gone past the quarterfinals with City. Returning to the knockout stages was a first step toward ending that frustrating streak, but Guardiola will know injury hit City have plenty of room for improvement. “Shakhtar have quality players and are well organised and have an extraordinary goalkeeper so we knew it would be difficult,” Guardiola added. “We had a lot of opportunities but at the end, 11 was enough to qualify. We did it seven years in a row.”

SLAIN AT HOME GOALS from Son Heungmin, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane saw Tottenham win 32 at West Ham in Jose Mourinho’s debut game at the helm. Jose Mourinho’s first game in charge of Spurs saw his new team claim a 32 Premier League win away to London rivals West Ham. Mourinho left Christian Eriksen on the bench as a firsthalf goal and assist from Son Heungmin helped end a run of 12 away Premier League games without a victory for Spurs, despite a late home fightback. The South Korean star opened the scoring in the 36th minute and then set up Lucas Moura to get Mourinho’s men up and run ning, Harry Kane adding to the scoreline as Spurs climbed to sixth in the table. Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna netted late consolations but West Ham con tinue to struggle after a bright start to the season. Manuel Pellegrini’s side have now lost six of their past seven Premier League games. Kane struck in the third minute of the
Mourinho era but the striker had strayed offside from Dele Alli’s pass. Serge Aurier’s clumsy aerial challenge on Robert Snodgrass in the box went unpunished before Son’s snapshot tested Roberto Jimenez, the under fire goalkeeper equal to the effort. Roberto was beaten twice before the break, though, Alli’s pass freeing Son to shuffle away from Issa Diop and lash home a powerful leftfooted strike. Son then created the second after fine work on the left touchline by Alli, the for ward crossing low for Lucas to get in front of Aaron Cresswell and nudge home from close range. Lucas dragged a great chance wide after the restart but it was soon 30, Aurier given too much room on the right to measure a cross Kane met with a downward header to move into third place on Spurs’ alltime top goalscorers’ list. Substitute Antonio gave the home fans something to cheer with a fine finish in the 73rd minute to deny Mourinho, who gave

HARRY KANE: Added to the scoreline as Spurs climb to sixth in the table. Eriksen a brief late cameo, a clean sheet. And, after an offside Declan Rice was de nied by VAR, West Ham scored a second deep into added time when Ogbonna beat Paulo Gazzaniga with a low shot from a cor ner, but it was too little, too late for the Hammers. Another defeat for West Ham and their supporters really aren’t happy hammers at all and it’s got to be only a matter of time before the Manager gets the axe with fans baying for him now at the East London Club, losing for them at home to arch rivals Tot tenham the way they did is simply not satis factory.
OLI MCBURNIE’S stoppagetime equaliser earned Sheffield United a 33 draw against Manchester United at Bramall Lane in the Premier League on Sunday after the visitors had been on the verge of a thrilling comeback vic tory. Coming into the contest on the back of one win in their last 10 Premier League away games, either side of the sum mer, Manchester were immediately on the back foot and had goalkeeper De Gea to thank for keeping them in the match early on. They could not hold out for long, though, and Fleck bun dled home the opener in the 19th minute after De Gea had denied Lundstram. The home side did not relent, creating plenty more openings and pressing their opponents at every opportuni ty. Seven minutes after the interval they went 20 up, with Lys Mousset drilling home his fourth goal of the season. United looked dead and buried as they struggled to get back into the contest after the break, but 19yearold Bran don Williams’s first senior goal 18 minutes from time sparked them into life. Another academy graduate, Mason Greenwood, came off the bench to level things up five minutes later, before Marcus Rashford completed the turnaround in the 79th minute with a fierce strike, earning United a possible win reminiscent of the Alex Ferguson years. However, substitute McBurnie denied the visitors in stoppage time to add a further twist to the breathless en counter, squeezing a strike past De Gea, with the goal awarded after a lengthy VAR review.

Tottenham Win After Sensational Comeback In Champions League OLYMPIAKOS kicked off at White Hart Lane, their players wearing blue shirts, blue shorts with white trim and blue socks. Tottenham wore white shirts, shorts and socks for this Cham pions League battle. There appeared to be a huge contingent of Olympiakos fans in the house, and they were making their presence felt from their place in one corner of the stadium. On the field, their team was dominating posses sion in these very early stages. Olympiakos had the first shot in anger, when Giorgos Ma souras picked up a crossfield pass to the left, cutting inside and unleashing a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but it did not trouble the goalkeeper. The visitors went ahead on 10 minutes, Olympiakos took the lead courtesy of a dipping drive from Youssef El Arabi from the edge of the penalty area in to the bottom lefthand corner. An early shock for Spurs. It was no more than they de served, but Jose Mourinho would have been disappointed that none of his defenders saw fit to close down the goalscorer.
