THIS week sees one of the biggest and most exciting celebrations in the region. Every February 28 the Andalucians celebrate ‘Dia de Andalucia,’ a holiday where you will see in many municipalities and cities residents dressed up, balconies decorated with flowers and bunting and green-and-white flags of Andalucia.

Cultural events are often held in conjunction with the day and in some towns, especially in the Malaga area, schools are closed for a Semana Cultural also known as Semana Blanca.

Each year, the Friday before is often a day of celebration in schools with a traditional Andalucian breakfast, consisting of a slice of toast with a thin layer of olive oil and orange juice; students colour pictures that refer to the symbols and insignia of Andalucia, its history and customs, put on plays and sing the regional anthem, the Himno de Andalucia.

Andalucia is an autonomous community of Spain, composed of the provinces of Almeria, Cadiz, Cordoba,

CELEBRATING AUTONOMY OF THE REGION: Decorated streets and cultural events.

Granada, Huelva, Jaen, Malaga and Sevilla.

Its capital is Sevilla, a city recognized by the Statute of Autonomy as the seat of the Junta de Andalucia.

The day of celebration began after the foundations of Andalucian autonomy were established in Antequera, on February 28, 1980, when the polls were taken to the streets for citizens to take part in a referendum after being held back by the Franco dictatorship for 44 years.

The honorary title of the ‘Favourite Son of Andalucia’ is granted by the Junta to those whose exceptional merits are recognised to have resulted in the benefit of the region, for their work or scientific, social or political actions. It is the highest distinction of the Autonomous Community of Andalucia.

Previous winners of the accolade have been novelist, José Manuel Caballero, artist Florencio Aguilera Correa and of course, actor, Antonio Banderas.

CORONAVIRUS

INDEX

FEARS GROW GROWING fears about contracting the coronavirus have prompted a run on medical face masks at Spanish pharmacies.

As reports of a dozen towns in northern Italy being put on lockdown hit the headlines and a third case of coronavirus was confirmed in Spain this week - an Italian from Lombardy holidaying in Tenerife - concerns about the possibility of the virus spreading in this country mean that pharmacies are running out of stock.

The Euro Weekly News spoke to pharmacies up and down the Costas, who confirmed they have completely sold out of medical face masks.

Their suggestion, they told EWN, was for members of the public concerned about protecting themselves against the possibility of infection from the coronavirus to put their names down on a waiting list. Another alternative is to try and find a medical face mask supplier online.

On Monday the World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesu said the virus has “pandemic potential,” but added, “Are we there yet? From our assessment, not yet.”

“The key message that should give all countries hope, courage

and confidence is that this virus can be contained, indeed there are many countries that have done exactly that,” the WHO chief commented.

Meanwhile, by Tuesday morning seven people in Italy had died from the disease and there were reports of at least 229 cases. The spike in infections prompted authorities in the Lombardy and Veneto regions to close schools, universities, businesses and restaurants, and to cancel public gatherings like sporting events.

Here in Spain, the government was holding an inter-ministerial commission meeting on Tuesday to discuss the coronavirus and any measures which need to be adopted.

“We want to be prepared for any eventuality,” commented Health Minister Salvador Illa.

A day earlier the European Union said it was not considering closing internal borders.

“Travel or trade restrictions are not recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) or the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) at the moment,” said EU crisis management commissioner Janez Lenarčič.

Hospital attack NATIONAL POLICE arrested a 26-year-old man of Spanish nationality in Malaga on Monday for allegedly attacking a public official, after he threatened and attempted to attack three health care workers in a hospital in the city.

According to reports from 091 services, an incident had occurred between a patient and health care providers in the hospital observation ward.

When the officers arrived at the scene they found a man who, according to witnesses had tried to hit two doctors and a nursing assistant with a metal bar. Thanks to the rapid actions of a patient who noticed what was about to happen, he was able to prevent him from hitting the victims.

Officers arrested the alleged culprit who has now been charged and the testimony sent to the judicial authority.

NEWS 1 - 26 BENALMADENA 28 FUENGIROLA 31 SOLD OUT: Coronavirus fears have left Spanish pharmacies without face masks in stock.

Symptoms and advice The main symptoms of the coronavirus are a high temperature, a cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.

The WHO advice on basic protective measures is to wash hands frequently with soap or an alcoholbased hand rub, to try and avoid contact with people who are ill, and to avoid touching the eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. Sneezes and coughs should be caught in a tissue and disposed of.

Past virus scares The coronavirus is not the first to cause international concern in recent years.

In 2003 the SARS coronavirus affected 26 countries and resulted in more than 8,000 cases.

There was also the Ebola scare six years ago, and in November 2015 there was an outbreak of the Zika virus, which started in Brazil and spread to other parts of South and North America, as well as some Pacific islands and Southeast Asia.

Seniors excursion FUENGIROLA Town Hall has organised a new excursion for seniors citizens to Caminito del Rey as part of the Senior Programme. The excursion presented by Social Councillor, Rocío Rodríguez, will be on March 12 and is priced at €6. Those interested in attending can now register at the Department of Senior Citizens of Calle Blanca Paloma.

“The price includes a luxury bus trip, travel insurance, breakfast and tickets to the Caminito del Rey catwalk.

There is also the possibility of booking, optionally, a three-course lunch menu for €12 that includes a soft drink or wine,” said Rodríguez.

Pick-up will be early in the morning in different parts of the town: from the Supercor de Los Boliches at 8am, the Feria ground 8.05am, Mercacentro 8.10am and on the Avenida de Santa Amalia 8.15am.

Possible site for new University IT was as long ago as 1992 that the concept of a university to be situated in Estepona was first considered, but it is only now some 28 years later that it seems to be closer to realisation.

The Antonia Guerrero Foundation has requested that the council makes available the facilities at the Father Manuel Cultural Centre as the initial headquarters of the future University of Estepona until the construction of the university campus is completed.

Whilst the council is in favour of this in principle, use cannot be granted until such time as approval is received from the Junta de Andalucia for a university to be sited in the town and other arrangements have been made to relocate those who currently use the centre.

Things are still quite a way off as the Foundation has to undertake a number of studies in order to establish the demand for such an educational estab-

lishment and also determine that both the internal structure of the town and the availability of professionals to staff the university are suitable.

The siting of a university in Estepona would bring benefits of all types to business, local residents, and scholars and attract those in nearby towns who wish to undertake a university experience without having to travel too far.

If it is recognised by the Andalucian Education Department and complies with its rules and regulations, it is probable that students from overseas will also be attracted to attend assuming that affordable housing is easily available.

Whilst the Father Manuel Centre is a thriving operation, it was acquired in 1995 by the council who at that time stated it would become the centre for the University of Estepona and this is how it is recorded in the Municipal Property Inventory.

Care for victims THE Andalucian Institute of Women (IAM) attended in 2019 in Malaga 303 women in the different psychological assistance programmes for victims of gender violence, compared to 102 in 2018, 201 more users and an increase of 197.05 per cent.

Also, last year two new psychological intervention groups were launched in the province: one for emotional dependence and another for empowerment.

In this regard, the IAM programme advisor in Malaga, María Encarnación Santiago, stressed on Monday that “psychological care for women victims of gender violence constitutes one of the main lines of

action of the Andalucian Institute for Women for the integral recovery of these women.”

In addition, she stressed that “these programmes offer specialised, comprehensive and free interventions with a methodology that starts from a broad vision of gender-based violence that incorporates multicausal explanatory factors to try to respond to the needs of users.”

She also stated that “The Andalucian Institute of Women will continue to focus on comprehensive care for women victims of violence as the best tool for their recovery and normalisation of their lives.”

NATIONAL POLICE, the Guardia Civil and the Tax Agency have arrested 47 people from 15 provinces, including Malaga, allegedly involved in an illegal drug trafficking network. The gang imported goods into Europe under the guise of food supplements or natural plants, but in reality, they were drugs for erectile dysfunction.

The detainees, all of Spanish nationality except a Portuguese citizen, from provinces such as Alicante, Almeria, Granada, and Malaga among others are charged with alleged crimes against public health, belonging to a criminal organisation, fraud, smuggling and money laundering.

The investigation began more than a year ago as a result of citizen collaboration through an anonymous complaint, from which different customs shipments from Malaysia that could contain active ingredients of medicines were falsely described.

After analysis, it was found that, in reality, they were potent drugs such as Tadalafil and Sildenafil, vasodilators for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Using these products without medical supervision can cause myocardial infarction, unstable angina, ventricular arrhythmia, palpitations, tachycardias, stroke and even sudden death.

Make It Happen WHAT are your plans for International Women’s Day this year? Are you doing anything special?

I am off to Spain again to deliver a workshop for the #MakeItHappen Conference in Marbella in conjunction with Costa Women and 1230 TWC. Sponsored by the Euro Weekly news. This is the third year that I have been invited to speak at this conference and it’s one of the highlights of my business year. Taking time out to work on the business instead of in the business is critical and has incredible results. More so I believe when you get on a plane, you are really saying to the universe - I am investing in me and my business.

The conference is jampacked and this year is even bigger and better than before. The evening before the conference there is a networking event where you get to meet inspirational women who are running their business on the Costa Del Sol,

members of Costa Women as well as those from 1230 TWC coming over from the UK. As I have been a few times now it’s great to see familiar faces and deepen connections.

The day of the Make it Happen Conference is always an inspirational day a day full of knowledgeable speakers sharing their wisdom and insights on everything related to running a business from marketing to mindset and motivation.

As a speaker it has been

an invaluable opportunity for me to take to the stage and share my message. A 20- minute slot where you can showcase your magic! It is a great opportunity and has to be taken advantage of to the max so you are remembered!

This year workshops are taking place the next day and I will be delivering an hour’s workshop on using numerology in business.

There will be a Gala dinner too which is another chance to get to speak to the women on a 121 basis.

Every year when I go back home I ensure I follow up with friendships made. I was also given the chance to appear in the Euro Weekly News which was amazing coverage. I was also on a local Spanish radio station. I went back to Spain and conducted a VIP day session and some 121s. I was also fortunate to get to know Michel and the team at Euro Weekly News.

I have followed up with the relationships that I have made and keep in touch on a regular basis with the ladies many of whom are in my Facebook group and on my email list. Attending the conference is not a one and done - it requires follow up - the fortune is in the follow up!

People definitely do business if they like you, know you and trust you and business is all about building and nurturing important relationships.

But you have to be in it to win it! Like anything worth doing, you need to commit that you are going, put the time in the diary, book your flight and hotel and get the kids and cat looked after! I promise you - you will not be disappointed.

The company faces this growth with plans to hire 800 people, with the aim of strengthening the service in its already 308 supermarkets scattered throughout Spain and in its future openings of new establishments. about 20 per cent since 2017.

This new wind power installation which consists of 12 turbines has created 200 jobs in the area and will be able to produce the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption of 33,000 homes.

The creation of the farm will remove around 66,000 tons per year of pollutant and green-

POWERFUL: Inauguration of the wind farm.

Saving one life AFTER becoming aware of a 53year-old man living rough in La Linea de la Concepcion who was known to suffer health and addiction problems, local authorities tried to persuade him to look for help.

Despite his refusal to seek aid, the Local Police kept a watchful eye over him and after discovering that he was sleeping rough in dangerous conditions in the old covered market, action was taken to obtain reports to put before a court.

Acting in collaboration, the Local Police, Social Services, Addiction Treatment Centre and the Gaditana de Tutela Foundation explained the situation to a judge who issued a

court order so that he could be transferred by ambulance to a specialist centre in Jerez de la Frontera for treatment and care.

KEEPING WATCH: Police carried out an investigation at the property.

Arrested for suspected money laundering BACK in 2018, an individual who had been i n j u re d w h i l s t b e i n g arrested was taken to the hospital in La Linea de la Concepcion for treatment and he w a s ‘ re s c u e d ’ b y a group of hooded men and escaped.

Since then, the National Police have been keeping a close watch on the family of this person, described as the ‘principal’ in the money laundering of large amounts of cash earned through the importation and sale of drugs.

Having completed their investigation and discovering that those involved enjoyed a high standard of living with no

identifiable legitimate source of income, officers raided the main property occupied by the family and arrested four people.

In addition, they seized goods and properties estimated to be worth more than €500,000 which in-

cluded a luxury car, a further four vehicles and a vessel as well as freezing five bank accounts.

It transpired that the parents of the ‘principal’ had purchased four properties in the area using cash which they had supposedly won in a lottery.

QUOTAS, COSTS AND CONFLICTS Community Law Corner

By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

GENERALLY speaking it is understood that any proposals passed by the community of owners at a general meeting have to be adhered to by the other owners. However to be legally binding, especially for new owners, some agreements in ad-

dition to being minuted, should also be registered with the Land Registry Office.

This ensures anyone looking into the details of a property before buying and understandably relying on information provided by the Land Registry Office would be aware of any internal agreements passed by the community of owners. If not, then it is equally understandable if the agreements are not registered and openly available to all, this could lead to conflict later on.

For example, any community agreement; that modifies the community statutes, make changes to the individual ‘quotas’ (percentage of ownership of the community), prevents an owner in debt until their debt is settled from using a community facility like the pool, or prohibits owners from renting out their domestic properties as short term tourist accommodation.

If the properties of the owners affected are later

put on the market, then according to article 5 of the Law of Horizontal Property, the law that governs all communities throughout Spain, if the agreements were not registered with the Land Registry Office before the properties were sold, then the new owner does not necessarily have to accept them.

The percentage ‘quotas’ originally established by the developer and then registered with the Land Registry and as shown in the deeds, determines each individual owner’s community fees.

Sometimes quotas when compared to other quotas within the community are often found to be largely disproportional and basically quite unfair. Understandably owners on realising this may approach the community and seek to have their quotas modified. However as the modification of quotas requires the unanimous vote of approval from all the owners, then those owners who will see an increase in their

community fees are not likely to give their approval. Consequently the disgruntled owner’s only alternative is to go to court and have the quotas legally changed.

However and as mentioned above, if any changes are not registered properly, then new owners could resist the community, some claiming they knew nothing about the increased quota changes, others could attempt to rent out their property as short term tourist accommodation and others only pay their fees according to the clearly unfair but previously registered quotas, especially when it would be beneficial to them.

So it’s clear, to be safe, especially regarding what any new owners should and could know about a property before they buy it, the community should register all and every important change and modification to quotas, statutes and agreements etc.

What’s not clear to

many is the cost. Changes to the quotas would affect every property within the community and the reregistration costs could be as much as if each property was being sold. In larger communities consisting of many properties, the cost to the community would be huge. Just registering the agreements and changes to the statutes alone, although obviously beneficial, could be quite high so owners should consider this, especially before remonstrating with the administrator and the president for not performing their duties correctly.

It is about considering each individual case and creating a balance, it’s pointless for an owner to start a court case to change the quotas if the cost would exceed more than the collective saving on 10 years or more of their community fees.

As usual we the solicitors for Intercala Administration remind our readers to seek competent advice in all matter regarding the law.

Both of the contestants visited the town hall accompanied by their mothers where they were presented with bouquets of flowers, special pins bearing the town shield and all best wishes for success from the Manilva Council.

IMPORTANT: Signing of the agreement.

APPROPRIATELY just prior to the celebration of Andalucia Day on Friday February 28, representatives of the Casares Council, the Junta de Andalucia and the Malaga Provincial Council entered into an agreement of intent to extend the area around the birthplace of Blas Infante.

The poet, musician and politician who was killed by Franco’s forces in Sevilla in 1936 is regarded as the Father of Andalucia and is still much regarded throughout the province especially in his hometown.

Blas Infante was born in Casares and his house is treated as a site of historic importance within the town, but the new agreement looks for the expansion of the area in order to take in the families’ original estate and to reconstruct some of the buildings.

Once approval has been received from the Ministry of Culture the work will be able to start although due to its importance, the three parties will, within the next 30 days, set up a Monitoring Committee responsible for planning and overseeing the work.

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

IN Spain there are two groups which most people would understand as being ‘the police.’ The National Police (Policía Nacional) who have jurisdiction in the towns and cities and the Guardia Civil outside the towns and cities. The Local Police are employed by town halls; they basically deal with property found, and enforce local laws.

Whilst they have a power of arrest, when exercised they must take the arrested person to the National Police or Guardia Civil according to where the c r i m e t o o k place.

National Police and the Guardia Civil deal with all crimes, missing persons etc in their jurisdiction. The National Police also deal with all applications for immigration paperwork, NIEs, EU Citizens Registration and for non EU nationals, Residencia, etc.

Throughout Europe the general number for all emergencies is 112. In Spain the operators speak English, French, German and Italian, in addition to Spanish and will liaise with the emergency services when the caller does not speak Spanish. No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including

mobiles even those without a Spanish SIM card or any credit. You can also fax or SMS 112.

The 24 hours national emergency numbers for Spanish speakers are: 091 - police, 061 - health emergencies 080 - firefighters.

By calling 902 102 112, one can give details of certain crimes, including:burglaries, car theft, theft or loss of documents or belongings. The service is available in English 9am to 9pm seven days a week, and 9am to 3pm in French, German and Italian.

Having given details, you must go to the National Police station which you nominate, within 48 hours to make the report using the information supplied on the telephone. In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 112 for police attendance, or go to the police station to make a report.

Other useful number are - 016, to report instances of gender violence.

For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted on 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24-hour helpline 900 100 333.

We have also closed an agreement with one of the most important restaurant chains in Malaga - FOSTER HOLLYWOOD. Our combined goal is to provide our clients with an attractive offer of dining and entertainment, which is why we have made the agreement where any of our clients who present their concert ticket in Foster Hollywood, can enjoy an attractive promotion that we have called ‘INVITE YOUR COMPANION TO DINNER IN FOSTER HOLLYWOOD.’ With this offer of ‘2 for 1,’ two people can eat and only pay for one!

This offer may be used at any of the FOSTER HOLLYWOOD restaurants in Malaga.

We hope that this can result in a very attractive proposition for the residents of Fuengirola and the Costa del Sol in general, considering that CC Miramar Park is one of the most important shopping centres in Malaga, with easy parking, and of course a fantastic modern cinema complex in CINES SUR. The first concert will be on Sunday April 5, at 6pm, featuring a full ABBA tribute band - ‘The Abba Experience,’ plus Stephen Triffitt as Frank Sinatra.

Stephen is the star from the original Rat Pack show in London, who also headlined in Atlantic City and Vegas.

His first book ‘The Boy who Sailed to Spain’ tells the story of Masunun who is a Christian living in North Africa who following the murder of his father crosses the sea to try to find protection for his family.

His second book ‘Malak Desert Child’ is a thought-provoking adventure story that is set in Morocco and the Sahara, and revolves around a five-year-old girl, Malak who is young, but possesses a remarkable spiritual wisdom that influences all those around her.

She, her mother and sister are rescued by friends from an abusive, alcoholic father and begin an epic journey to reach her mother’s own people, a tribe in Western Sahara.

Morocco, however, uses this as a pretext to invade the disputed territory of the Western Sahara. What began as a mission of mercy

CORPORATE IMAGE: Unveiling the new uniforms.

New look for Local Police THE Mijas Local Police are to be fitted with completely new uniforms over the next two years as they become more in keeping with the town’s corporate image.

The old style blue and yellow uniform gives way to a more elegant totally navy-blue uniform after five years which is to be produced in the highest technology and designed fabric which will be comfortable, functional and at the same time have elements of protection to give officers greater security.

There will be summer and winter clothes and for the first time, the flag and shield of the town will be included on the uniforms with the

flag on the back and the badge on the front.

All of the fabrics used in the new uniforms are environmentally friendly, as are the rest of the accessories which have been made from recycled, sustainable and reusable material. The only difference between the unifor m that the officers will wear lies in the central reflective on the body of the uniform which will be visible in low light.

Currently, the staff of Local Police consists of 145 officers as well as eight interns who it is hoped will qualify to join what is expected to be an increased team including one who has certain mobility difficulties.

LAST Saturday February 22 at around 8pm, a car sped up to the gate of the Triple A animal sanctuary above La Cañada shopping centre and within a very short space of time, a car door opened and closed and the car disappeared.

There were some volunteers still at the compound and by the time that they went to open the gate, all they could see was a crate containing eight tiny puppies (some with umbilical cords still attached) who were literally three or four days old.

At this age they are completely helpless and need to be looked after as they will be missing the warmth of their mother and of course the regular feeds.

Within half an hour three volunteers had been rounded up who were prepared to act as foster families for these poor little orphans, but at that age they could not stay at Triple A as they have to be looked after in people’s homes because they

This is not an unusual occurrence for the volunteers at Triple A but it is not one

which is welcomed because the commitment to look after such tiny pups is considerable.

Tongeren who is known for her dedication to the charity was one of those who took some of the puppies into her home

and they are joining animals with paralysed back legs, one a cat and the other Golfo, a feisty little dog which she is already looking after and giving regular physio.

The problem is that there are simply not enough foster homes available for these innocent little creatures which are regularly abandoned and whilst it is a time consuming and demanding job, it is also very rewarding when you see the animals grow and become independent characters.

Full training in pup fostering will be given to anybody who is prepared to offer their services, but volunteers are also needed to simply help walk dogs and clean cages, so if you think that you would like to help email Lily at lily4 triplea@gmail.com.

Whilst many councils are doing more than ever to help home abandoned dogs, there is still a constant need for animal charities such as Triple A and others to step in and give cats and dogs a chance of a decent life.

Charity Golf event CONCORDIA is an HIV/AIDS charity that covers the Costa del Sol. The services it offers are impressive and it has been responsible for the saving of literally thousands of lives since being established by Princess Marie-Louise of Prussia in 1994.

Based in a discrete modern building with very impressive facilities in San Pedro de Alcantara, where six full time members of dedicated staff and volunteers cover and expect to work with more than 500 sufferers and their families each year, plus those who arrive daily at the centre to take the HIV/Aids test.

The bulk of the funds needed to run the CONCORDIA Association come from revenue collected throughout the year from donations, and special events.

There will be a Charity Golf Tournament under Stableford rules which starts at 9am at the Aloha Golf Club on Saturday May 9, 2020. The day’s play will be followed by an enjoyable prize-giving dinner dance.

Green fees are €100 (€30 for members) and the dinner dance will cost €75 per person.

Marbella NEWS Proposal to widen A-7 motorway Credit: Ayuntamiento de Marbella

MANY will remember the terrible traffic jams that occurred on the A-7 road heading from Estepona towards Puerto Banus and despite the years of delay whilst the San Pedro Tunnel was built, it seemed that traffic flow was greatly improved and the Boulevard above was a benefit to the town.

Whilst traffic flow is much better, there is a new bottle neck on the Banus side of the tunnel which sees some very long queues in both directions and the councillor responsible for San Pedro Alcantara Javier GarcĂ­a intends to call a vote at the next plenary meeting of the Marbella Council.

The intention is to urge central government to allocate sufficient budget items to allow for new works to be undertaken to improve circulation and capacity between K172.100 and K174.950, as well as make pedestrian access in the area much easier.

In essence the amount of traffic

CONGESTION: Traffic is heavy on this part of the A-7. which not only flows along the motorway but passes in and out of local roads is far higher than ever anticipated with up to 90,000 vehicles using the road which causes congestion and safety problems.

One recommendation is to create a third lane for traffic which was supported by the previous PSOE council and now the councillor is looking to the PP dominated council to take up the appeal on behalf of local residents.

Training staff to save lives AS Marbella is such a haven for tourists and has a large numbers of hotels, restaurants, cafes and bars, the council has decided to offer a very useful and potentially life-saving option to hospitality staff through a series of free workshops.

Using the expertise of officers from the local Civil Protection Branch, those who wish to attend will be taught two important lessons, firstly cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques (CPR) which in the UK has been associated with the Bee Gees song Staying Alive.

CPR is well understood in Spain, but according to the council spokesmen, the Heimlich Manoeuvre is not as well understood or indeed practised, yet

is a simple way of helping someone who is choking on food or a foreign object.

Any operation whose staff members have attended the workshops will be able to display a certificate showing that there are trained personnel on the premises which will possibly help them to increase their business.

The one-hour long courses will be undertaken in both Marbella and San Pedro Alcantara with the timing being set to be suitable for the employees who wish to attend and it is hoped that the entire programme will be completed before the start of Easter week when thousands of tourist will fill the city streets.

donate books

THE Office of the Commissioner for Sustainable Development and Future Generations has been supported by the Guardian Angel Foundation to promote social and environmental responsibility amongst children and young people.

The charity has donated more than £3,300 to purchase books and other school resources to support this initiative, including new storybooks for lower and upper primary schools that can bring the sustainability topics such as biodiversity, carbon footprints, poverty, privilege and justice alive in classrooms.

Subsequent to this, the local charity will donate a further £4,500 to purchase materials that enable learners to engage practically in growing food in schools, looking after green areas and improving their local community.

The Guardian Angel Foundation is a Gibraltar registered charity set up in 2013 with the intention of improving the standards of care and living for local children affected by financial distress or suffering from

CHARITY DONATION: Handing over of the books. any illness or disability which impairs their physical or mental well-being.

The charity aims to provide financial or other support to institutions that provide care, support or services to children and it also funds activities that may benefit children and make their lives happier.

The charity has already delivered substantial projects for the community over the past few years which included new sensory rooms for St Martin’s School, Notre Dame First School, and St Bernard’s Hospital, a

refurbishment of the Rainbow Ward Playroom and a children’s playground at the Cancer Relief Centre premises so that children can play in an enjoyable environment whilst their parent/guardian is receiving treatment.

It has also provided several high dependency cots for the Rainbow Ward, and the After School Club at the Boathouse in the Victoria Stadium area specifically designed to cater for children with learning and physical disabilities.

Miss Gibraltar women signing up THE last few years have seen some problems in recruiting sufficient contestants for the Miss Gibraltar Pageant, but 2020 has seen a great response.

Already eight local Gibraltarian young women have signed up to take part in the contest and the winner will go on to represent the Rock in the Miss World contest which will take place in Thailand later this year as it celebrates its 70th anniversary.

Three more girls are expected to sign on next week and the Miss Gibraltar Pageant will be held on Saturday June 6 at the John Mackintosh Hall theatre. All of those signed up already will receive a payment of £500 and the prizes are Miss Gibraltar wins £2,000 plus a £3,500 clothing allowance, first runner up receives £1,000 and a £500 clothing allowance and the second runner up receives £500 and a £500 clothing allowance.

AS Britain, Gibraltar and Spain get ready for their first Joint Committee meeting in Algeciras, the eight mayors on the towns in the Campo de Gibraltar travelled to Madrid for a meeting with the Spanish Foreign Minister Arancha González Laya.

According to a Ministry spokesperson, the minister assured the visiting mayors the defence of the interests of the Campo de Gibraltar would be a priority in future negotiations on relations with the UK post-Brexit, with the aim of creating a zone of shared prosperity.

Clearly those towns with high unemployment are desperate to ensure that Brexit will not cause any loss of jobs because of difficulties in crossing the bor-

der and asked the minister for an assurance that ease of cross border activity will be maintained.

Many Spanish workers do not currently hold passports and rely on ID cards to allow them to cross into Gibraltar and if the Spanish government refuses to recognise Gibraltar ID cards from 2021 as has been mooted, it is likely that Gibraltar will insist on entry by passport only.

According to the Spanish press, another matter discussed was the possible shared use of Gibraltar airport which was originally suggested by the Blair government but was never well-received in Gibraltar as it would appear to give Spain the right to have control over access.

IN MADRID: The Minister with the mayors.

Improving historical area AS part of its planned urban renewal programme, the Gibraltar Government is starting work to improve the outlook of Governor’s Parade, popularly known as the ‘Piazella.’

The works will include the replacing of the concrete benches, which will include some specifically designed to be accessible for wheelchairs users. New flooring, lighting, trees and planters will also form part of the extensive embellishment of the square.

The project is one of the first government projects to obtain formal planning permission under the new Town Planning Act. Works will be carried out in stages in order to allow access to the restaurants in the area and cause minimum disruption to residents.

Works are scheduled to commence shortly and will include the replacing of the trees currently in place which are in poor condition and as the four trees are removed they will be replaced by six which are more likely to thrive well in the setting.

It is around 50 years since the area was last refurbished and should become another attractive and important social and cultural hub in the heart of the city.

AN Ethiopian refugee who settled in Rotterdam more than 20 years ago has been hiding a rare 18th century Ethiopian crown. He has now re­ turned this piece of heritage to his country of birth with the help of the Dutch government.

ALL of the major banks in Denmark are now charg­ ing customers to keep large amounts of money on deposit with them. The concept is that with falling growth, having to pay to keep money encourages spending and boosts the economy.

Environmental information

THE European Banking Federation (EBF) to which the Spanish Banking Association belongs has asked the European Commission to require that large corporations should be obliged to reveal environmental in­ formation and climate risk from their activities.

Such information will allow banks to determine whether they should finance certain operations after weighing up the possible envi­ ronmental damage especially as governments and the EU require a reduction in pollution. This infor­ mation would protect banks from making dangerous loans.

€27.8 billion

is the drop in sales revenue anticipated for international airlines by IATA due to the coronavirus with the biggest loss being in Asia.

Employment Law Bombshell SPANISH business and to a lesser ex­ tent even the unions are up in arms over a decision by the government to completely redefine the concept of subcontracting work out.

Many companies find that it can be financially advantageous to decen­ tralise their businesses and rather than employ staff on a full time basis (with all of the financial commit­ ments this entails) and especially for short term projects, prefer to subcon­ tract the work out.

Smaller organisations often have a more relaxed attitude over employ­ ment contracts and are able to find

By John Smith workers who are prepared to accept temporary work without significant overheads but this could be a thing of the past under proposed legislation.

The government is saying that if a company does subcontract work out and has its own staff doing exactly the same work, then it must ensure that the subcontracted worker re­ ceives exactly the same pay and ben­ efits.

The fear is that costs will rise al­ most across the board in Spain and that in the long­run, there will be fewer jobs overall as there will be

less work as in many cases, potential customers look outside of Spain for their products to be produced.

It’s not just going to affect industry or construction but could stretch into retail, where some stores allow stores within stores to be set up, the health service where many doctors and nurses are employed via agen­ cies (although in some cases their recompense is higher than employ­ ees) and indeed almost any walk of business.

Even councils could find that they have to take on more staff and in­ crease local taxation.

Football fans lose out HUNDREDS across Europe are out of pocket because of a major mistake made by UEFA when of­ fering more tickets for the Euro 2020 football tournament.

Its initial online offering was a sell­out but because a number of people didn’t pay for them, those were put back on sale and fans immediately placed orders.

Having been successful, many then booked flights and accom­ modation (often non­refundable) only to receive an email several hours later saying that the tickets had been sold in error and the or­ der was cancelled.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Can they vote by post?

Our former president brought in a voting form for all owners on our community, which con­ sisted of all the agenda proposals being voted on.

She said this gives everyone a say. If 30 people send back their forms saying No to any proposal and there are only 20 people attending the AGM in person who say Yes, the forms win, even though they have heard nothing of the discussion. Is this legal? Our new presi­ dent has carried on this procedure. She says that the committee has agreed that all owners should get a chance to vote, even if they cannot attend the meeting.

Again I ask, is this legal? Our AGM is at the end of April.

P C (Costa Blanca)

No, it is not l e g a l .

Spain’s Horizontal YOU AND THE Law establishes that LAW IN SPAIN voting at the AGM is only by attendance in person or by naming a proxy. There is no provision for voting by post or by e­mail. Those mem­ bers who did not attend have a period of 30 days after be­ ing informed of the results to protest if their interests are prejudiced. If no one protests, the results of your AGM will take effect, even if not ‘legal.’

BUSINESS EXTRA

Lower debts THE Bank of Spain has published figures showing that unpaid debts to Spanish banks by their customers has fallen to less than 5 per cent for the first time in 10 years. The amount however is still significant at tens of billions.

Big Brother BARCLAYS Bank has come under fire for introducing new software on staff computers which monitors the amount of work they do and as it is in real time, can tell them if they are not working to expectation or take too many breaks.

Concierge award FOLLOWING his success at the Brits, Grime star Stormzy has been singled out by the Greggs chain to become the first ever member of their VIP Concierge Service which allows high profile customers to order what they want whenever they want.

Fighting free Autopistas SPANISH toll road operator Albertis is producing articles concerning the importance to the Spanish economy of maintaining the payment concept to use major roads.

As the AP­1, AP­4 and

more sections of the AP­7 become free, the former manager of these roads can see its income dropping and argues that with these roads alone the Spanish government will lose €450

million in tax.

In addition, it will be the Spanish taxpayer who will have to fork out extra to maintain the roads so short term saving could cause long term cost.

The end of the Paper £20 IN the days when public organisations were not as environmentally aware, the disposal of old, damaged or obsolete bank notes in the UK saw them being bur ned in a fur nace to help heat the Bank of England building.

Now times have changed and the introduction of the new British £20 note which is made from poly­ mer and joins the £5 and £10 notes means that there are an estimated £40 (€48) billion worth of the old paper notes which have to be col­ lected, collated and recycled as a soil improver.

Whilst the old notes continue to

Don’t be caught with obsolete bank notes.

Sandboxes approved THERE are currently six countries in Europe which have created ‘regulatory sandboxes’ and now thanks to the Spanish Banking Association, Spain will become the seventh.

A sandbox is based on the concept of children being allowed to play in a controlled environment and this option is particularly attractive in the world of Financial Technology where start-up com-

panies may inadvertently breach financial regulations.

Spain hopes to attract new companies and their revenue by allowing controlled experiments of this kind by the end of 2020.

circulate, there are none going back into the system from the high street banks and work is being undertaken to convert cash machines to enable them to dispense the smaller new note.

The £20 note is the most used in the UK with some two billion in circulation and as the old notes are returned for destruction, they will be place in bundles of 2,500 so that they can be accounted for and then composted.

The notes will continue to be le­ gal tender until the Bank of England is satisfied that there are sufficient of the new notes available to start a six month countdown before they can no longer be used.

Not only will be there a six­month grace period before they cease to be legal tender, some banks and post offices will be likely to accept them back for credit or exchange.

Many elderly people do keep banknotes on hand, so it is impor­ tant that they are aware of the changes.

BUSINESS EXTRA Transgender support A UK-based insurance group has advised some of its corporate sales staff to raise the matter of transgender awareness with their clients as due to long waits for NHS treatments a number of people are undertaking potentially dangerous self-medication.

Crack down A NEW plan is being introduced in Spain to control advertising from online gambling and casinos which will stop brands from employing celebrities to appear in TV advertising. Football clubs will not be able to sell shirts to children if they feature gambling brands.

Share purchase THE European Commission has approved the purchase of 50 per cent of the Prosegur alarm business by Telefonica as the merger appeared to raise no problems as far as competition within Spain or the entire European Union is concerned.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

FEATURE

No one’s laughing now

WHY is everyone still screaming that Britain needs more diversity? The UK is now recognised as one of the most diverse nations on the planet. Instead of wasting energy by constantly complaining, why don’t those affected welcome this situation with open arms and start acting with some positivity?

As Shakespeare observed; ‘Methinks thou doth protest too much.’ I can’t help becoming even more convinced that those who continue to condemn British society actually thrive on animosity, refusing to accept the truth in case they are deprived of something to vent their hatred on! Let’s just have a brief look at these ‘lack of UK diversity’ accusations.

To date, with very few exceptions, every family based commercial on British TV depicts a mixed marriage. Practically all the ads that use a number of actors, portray an (often ludicrous) cross section of casts with ethnic backgrounds. Neither of these situations is a true reflection of life across the UK and is therefore either a minority appeaser, or some form of majority brainwashing - and is also by its very definition blatantly racist!

A large number of major league football

THE UK: Is now recognised as one of the most diverse nations on the planet. teams are partially, or in some cases predominately ethnic. Athletes, particularly runners, are almost all from immigrant heritage and any accusation of racism (predominately aimed at the indigenous population) is dropped on by the law like a ton of bricks. The long suffering British population has bent over backwards to accept and encourage diversity into a country which, after recovering from two World Wars, became open and ready to accept

many from other less fortunate cultures.

But to see its generosity and welcome rewarded by ‘no go areas,’ terrorism, religious fanaticism, culture attack and nothing but insults and ingratitude - is quite understandably getting large numbers of them the terrible hump! The ‘far right’ was initially blamed as instigators of this UK dissent, and was quite rightly chastised for it.

Unfortunately, with the blatant, unchecked reversed racism of ‘comedi-

ans’ like Nish Kumar, plus the disgraceful racist lyrics and comments of ‘Rapper Dave’ at the awful Brit awards, exponents of the not-so far right are actually beginning to think those a bit ‘further over’ may have had a point.

Last week the Bafta awards were also criticised for not including enough diversity among the winners. Well, possibly there weren’t enough who were worthy of awards! We cannot fall into the trap of favouring people simply because of their ethnic heritage or gender. If we do, we will not only lower our standards, but also be in real danger of provoking even further disquiet by denying recognition of those who may be far more deserving.

This whole diversity and ‘snowflake’ driven human rights situation is sowing seeds of discontent that, if unchecked, will continue to grow and flourish into a full scale civil conflict that could leave large sections of the UK’s major cities resembling Beirut.

Exactly the words I used in a column 25 years ago; where it was laughed at and called a ‘Leapy rant.’ Well no one’s laughing now are they?

Keep the faith.

TRAIN ETIQUETTE DON’T GO DOWN THAT TRACK! 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

B A C K i n t h e U K re c e n t l y, I was sitting on a train, staring at the man opposite me. Not i n t h a t w a y, p ro m i s e ! I n a looking-at-what-he-was-absentmindedly-doing way.

He was a leg-jiggler (and if that was you, suffering from a debilitating illness, my apologies in advance). Less prevalent than manspreaders, for whom I've developed subtle strategies, but up there with bulky bags on the free seat, fold-up bikes and elbow-jabbing texters.

Back in the day I used to go to the cinema with a beefy, heavilybuilt leg-jiggler who was on the Spectrum (it’s a symptom, I understand). The embarrassing thing was that the whole row of seats would start vibrating in the darkness, mak-

ing me wonder what the heck people were making of it all...

And strategies for man-spreaders? First carefully study your spreader. If he’s a clear threat or simply obese, then abort; your project’s derailed.

Now, catching your target offguard may work, as women almost never react or do anything in this situation. Above all, don’t give way - ideally a bag or something similar acting as a firm buffer between you, as insistent female proximity to a leg will invariably end up with him thinking he’s being hit on. All this can lead to a silent pressure battle between the pair of you until one backs down. Not the best solution, admittedly. Other more complex strategies I’ll keep to myself ... we won’t go down that track.

Train travel can truly be a bizarre experience. A friend and I boarded a packed train and managed to find seats facing a couple of millennials. At first, they seemed really annoyed we were actually sitting there - in unreserved seats. But then the young woman clearly made

up her mind to spend the journey staring us out, doubtlessly hoping this would make us move. I even heard her whisper to her mate we were “in their space.” Perhaps we should have issued them with a ‘trigger warning’ before sitting down? What do you think?

SUZANNE MANNERS WRATH. The least fluffy of all the deadly sins (apart from murder but we won’t go there) and the one most likely to get us into trouble.

Humans by their nature are pretty volatile, anger fuelled, tantrum tickling creatures who strut and strop their hour upon the stage in paroxysms of both sound and fury. My own father had a tendency to erupt at the least provocation bellowing and cursing all and sundry and sometimes hurling clocks (a story for another time) and random unsecured objects unfortunate enough to be in his path.

John Knox the minister was renowned for his explosive tirades against Mary Tudor, Elizabeth the First, Mary Queen of Scots, courtiers, Catholics, relics and women in general.

Wrath: The Sin of Losing It

WRATH: John Knox was renowned for his explosive tirades against Mary. bit shouty with Mary who wasn’t known for her tolerance). It was Knox who coined the phrase ‘monstrous regiment’ to describe the female monarchs of

the age. His anger stemmed mostly from the outrageous supposition that women could actually rule over men... who were a little sensitive at this time

(check out Tudor codpieces!).

Throughout history wars, conflicts and all manner of nasty events have been caused by one person’s anger (or indeed group’s... anger is after all highly contagious) against another, some imagined slur or lack of respect induces a tantrum in the mighty and then all hell breaks loose. Henry the Eighth, the least chilled monarch, was famous for his propensity to huffily send friends and family to the block (imagine how stressful a place the English court must have been… you really wouldn’t want to break those eggshells).

Wrath, or anger if you prefer, boils the blood and shuts down the reasoning part of the brain.

The red mist really does descend and blind with rage is an actual human condition blocking all thought and care.

Many foul deeds have been committed in anger the lashing out both momentary and unthinking; a Cobra strike with no antidote or redress. Those quick

to anger, the bad tempered, the volatile, suffer from that shutting down of reason that prevents them from making good choices.

Anger is debilitating and all consuming in a way that no other human emotion is (apart from grief). A quick temper is a terrible affliction. Hurtful words flung in anger burn deeply, the embers glowing forever.

Fortunately I am not an angry person. I have been bad tempered at times but with age, along with wrinkles and the need to pee every five minutes, comes a couldn’t care less attitude. I really do not give a flying fig what anyone thinks of me and life is too short to stoke the coals of an adult tantrum.

Injustice, Poverty, Discrimination are the only states that deservedly engender a burning rage in the human psyche, yet none of these is even considered a sin.

Now that makes me angry.

Toodle Pip!

Something needs to change MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man TODAY I’m not grumpy, I’m angry and upset. The reason for this is a y o u n g l a d y c a l l e d C a ro l i n e Flack committed suicide and, in a strange way, I also feel a little bit responsible because her suicide was almost certainly due, in part, to the online onslaught she got after being charged with an assault on her boyfriend.

Even though he wasn’t going to proceed with his complaint the CPS were going ahead with the case. The reason why I feel a bit responsible is that I have a Twitter account and I follow people like Piers Morgan and another real scumbag called Dan Wootton who works for the Sun. That newspaper printed loads of terrible stuff about her and then deleted it all when they heard of her death. Social media has to be policed. There must be a way of verifying accounts. Online bullying must be stopped and certainly ‘famous’ people must be taken to task and not al-

lowed to encourage their millions of followers to like or comment on things too.

Morgan is particularly vitriolic at the moment about Meghan Markle. He also often defends the things he says by saying he doesn’t tweet or write anything he wouldn’t say to someone’s face.

The thing is that’s nonsense because firstly he will never meet her and if he did it would be a one-to-one situation and nobody else would know. But on Twitter he’s saying it to seven million people.

I don’t like Morgan or Wootton but it’s like I read their stuff just to get annoyed with them. They are bullies and I hate bullies. Donald Trump is probably one of the worst bullies on the internet with his followers on Twitter being over 70 million. Why do I follow them? Well I guess because of my morbid curiosity of what ridiculous lie they are going to come up with.

In January 2016, a review found that one in every eight posts by Trump on Twitter ‘was a personal insult of some kind.’ As of January 2019, Trump had insulted 551 people including many private citizens.

Trump has also been criticised for his practice of retweeting or copying material from social media accounts posting antiSemitic, racist or false information.

Something needs to change.

GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY IN the words of the inimitable Andy Williams, where do I begin? Perhaps allow me to give a brief insight into my life, a life that’s been colourful, to say the least. Filled with drama, some of it good, and of course some bad.

It was the late 90’s, I was living between London and my native Dublin, a time when it seemed that life for a 23-yearold me, was filled with little other than party filled nights, and long recovery lunches at places like Daphne’s, San Lorenzo or the now defunct Oriel on Sloane Square.

Oriel was our HQ, a place where we would inevitably meet up to dissect the previous night, before making plans for the next. In a way, we were the original Made in Chelsea, except less scripted and without a camera crew. My circle of friends were living a similar existence, showing up at various glamorous events, night after night, photographed for Bystander or the Daily Mail, falling into an awaiting car, to dance until dawn at Annabel’s, The Met Bar, or L’Equipe Anglais.

I’d return to Dublin in search of R&R, only to find there was none. Dublin, like London was buzzing, and set to embark on a period of time known as the Celtic Tiger. A glorious time of excess on every level, where it was seen as normal to down cases of vintage Bollinger over lunch, before nipping, or possibly tripping to Gucci to pick up something new for the night ahead. It was all good fun, for a select few, who called each other la famiglia.

One night at a party during London Fashion Week, I was chatting with my dear friend, the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, who had just signed a contract with the Sunday Times to write a weekly diary style column. The idea being, her antics would be available for readers to enjoy in full colour, complete with a photo at some event or another. She joked it would be the perfect job for me and within weeks, I was contacted by the editor of the Irish edition of the paper, asking if I would consider writing a similar style diary

Hello, I’m Gavin Lambe-Murphy called I’m It. Tara was the It Girl, and overnight, I was the It Boy. I engaged a PR team to launch myself as a public figure.

At the time Ireland was not clued up about such characters and a press release sent out by my agents, was met with laughter, as well as a string of media coverage, ironically making me a household name.

My life changed, the parties continued, the pace was fast, but now suddenly people were recognising me on the street and requests for interviews and television appearances were becoming more frequent. I had become famous for being fa-

“

In the end, I have returned to do something that I love.

mous. Once thrust into the media spotlight, my life spiralled somewhat and while PR firms wanted me to be seen promoting their clients - from sports cars, to designer goods and such, I became so inundated, that I required an agent in Ireland as well as the UK. For many it was hard to believe that the guy who was so in demand and apparently the life and soul of the party, was in fact terribly shy and somewhat lost. It was at this time that I went down a wrong road and began taking cocaine, as a way to counteract my shyness and be ‘on form’ 24/7.

Without realising it, my drug habit had taken over my life and at the height of my fame I was taking up to four grams of coke a day, not eating and drinking way too much alcohol.

Not exactly a good place to be considering how public my life had become. I took part in numerous reality TV shows; Young Posh & Loaded on ITV1, Celebrity Five Go Dating on Channel 4, Celebrity Farm on RTE 1, to name a few. All of which, apart from The Farm, were and remain a total blur.

Subsequently, my world came crashing down due to my addiction and I landed in rehab.

Following which, I vanished from the scene and lived in Italy, France and more recently Monaco. I am clean of drugs since 2003, and have written a novel, opened a restaurant and taken time to discover who I am and what makes me happy.

This time last year, I decided that Marbella may be a place that would be a good fit. One year on, and I must say, each day it makes me smile. I believe it still has much to show me, and I have much to show it.

I shall be writing a weekly column for Euro weekly News starting next week, so I have returned to do something I love.

Viva Espana!

Coronavirus What it means for your 2020 Holidays?

christina@globelink.co.uk.

CASES of Coronavirus are spreading increasingly beyond China, with the latest c a s e s i n I t a l y, I r a n a n d South Korea, so you’d be wise to start wondering if this will affect your next trip - even if you’re not going anywhere near China.

If we’ve learnt anything over the past weeks, it’s that the situation is very fluid. The best guidance is keep abreast of the FCO Government Advice relating to the Coronavirus and don’t be surprised if the advice changes frequently to reflect changes in circumstance.

This week the FCO changed its advice for British holidaymakers returning from Italy. Anyone returning from specific lockdown areas in Northern Italy as designated by the Italian gov-

TRAVEL PLANS: Don’t leave things to the last minute. ernment should self-isolate and call NHS 111. Meanwhile, the BBC reported that in Tenerife there are approximately 1,000 holidaymakers reportedly quarantined at a hotel after an Italian tourist tested positive for Coronavirus.

So how will this impact your next trip?

Do your homework - especial-

ly if you may be health impaired or vulnerable in any way.

Advice for travellers on preparing for a trip and reducing risk of exposure to Coronavirus is available according to the FCO from TravelHealthPro website. Check the FCO advice before you book your travel destination to avoid locations against their travel advice.

Keep an eye open after you’ve booked, as the situation may change. The FCO publish country by country health and safety advice that’s updated regularly and includes any locations where they advise against travel.

Booked a trip but don’t want to go because of Coronavirus?

We can forgive ourselves for thinking twice about travelling at the moment. However, if this is your disinclination to travel, rather than complying with FCO, or WHO restrictions, then most Travel Insurance policies won’t cover you for lost holiday or cancellation costs. All policies are different so check with your provider.

What are your travel options?

If you want to cancel your trip and don’t think you’ll be covered by your travel insurance,

it’s worth checking with your tour operator or airline. They can provide advice on your holiday and what plans they have in place to help.

You may have options like changing your destination to somewhere safer, or your trip dates. In the circumstances, travel providers may be more flexible in facilitating amendments. Don’t forget to update your travel insurance.

If you don’t want to travel at all and don’t plan to make a claim, you may be able to get a refund on your travel insurance, even if it’s after the ‘cooling off period.’ Check the cancellation terms of your holiday.

Don’t leave things to the last minute. Be aware of travel companions’ pre-existing health needs; chose destinations carefully; speak to your travel providers; check your insurance cover (you may only be covered for Coronavirus unforeseen emergency medical expenses) and stay abreast of FCO and local government advice and comply with it!

SHOPPING SPREE DEAR Euro Weekly, What a pleasure to read about the lucky lady who won the queen for a day shopping prize in Torremolinos.

She was such a character in the video you posted on your Facebook page, it must really have made a difference in her life.

I do worry about her booking a trip to China though! At least she will get the full run of the plane as I’m sure it will be empty. I hope she has a lovely time visiting her son. It made my heart melt that she treated her family and friends to so many things instead of being greedy and only caring about herself. She definitely has a big personality and an even bigger heart. Well Done Maria!

Stephannie Saunders Fuengirola

A firm hand Dear EWN, Somebody recently wrote in about moving back to London and being worried about the violence. I understand the reasons for going back but it did make me think, I have never in my time in Spain seen any violence. No robberies, no gangs and no knives.

I feel safe here than in my home town. I do understand that the police take a pretty strong stance when it comes to catching people in the act ‘a heavy hand’ and maybe that is what should happen in the UK. By all means, if my son had committed a crime I wouldn’t mind if the police gave him a slap round the ear or a kick up the bum.

Would that slow down the kids in the UK? I guess it comes down to respect, the kids in Spain respect and fear the police, whereas the people in the UK have lost their respect for the police.

Is there any way back?

Power of equality MORE controversy has hit the recent awards ceremonies, this time in the world of music. Long-running music magazine NME and the Brit awards are both in the headlines with claims and acts of misogyny and sexism.

With more women than ever displaying success in the music industry, artists like Charli XCX and Ella Eyre have hit out at the event for having male and female nominees competing in separate categories. Charli XCX criticised the ceremony for making the women feel like a ‘subplot’ or ‘warm-up act’ for their male counterparts. The Album of the Year category helps to show further evidence of the situation by not featuring a single female nominee, as Harry Styles and Lewis Capaldi go up against Stormzy, Michael Kiwanuka, and Dave for the accolade.

The situation at the NME awards was a new low for the business. With British rapper, Slowthai set to win the ‘Hero of the Year’ award he shot himself in the foot by quickly disgracing himself and making leering comments to host and comic Katherine Ryan on stage. The incident provoked an audience member to heckle Slowthai as ‘misogynist’ during his acceptance speech to which the rapper responded by throwing his drink into the crowd and almost starting a fight. These high profile incidences are a reminder of the need for music industry mindfulness and vigilance.

SPAIN is cracking down on badly behaved Brits who could face £50k fines So some 18­year­old lads arrive in Spain on their first ever time abroad, on an all­inclusive holiday that cost €200 (because the hotel is garbage). Straight to the bar and G&Ts. A cheap local paint stripper gin served up in a measure four times as big as anything they’ve ever experienced. They drink three drinks each, not that much, and are drunk and puke in the flower bed.

Everyone screams scumbags. Yes the Brits overdo it, of course they do, but the Spanish have designed these resorts around it, the people of Ibiza and Mallorca have become massively wealthy because of it. It could all of been easily managed and controlled but it wasn’t in their interests. Ahh, the memories.

YOUR STARS

‘The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.’

Coco Chanel

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Spirituality seeps right through the week. As you are feeling particularly sensuous, invite someone special to dinner or on a trip. Visit garden centres and plan ahead. The colours and perfumes will be particularly pleasing.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Satisfaction with your love life is paramount this week, and the opinion of others seems important to you. Perhaps you are looking for an excuse to make a change. It is possible, however, that a change is not required so much as a different approach. It is not essential to put all your eggs in one basket.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A conversation with a colleague brings insights into how others live and it is quite an eyeopener.

Friendships are particularly important this week.

You have been dashing around and maybe not enough thought has gone into how you spend your leisure time.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is something in you that needs a creative outlet.

Perhaps you would like to write a book: memoirs, for instance, take up a craft or paint.

Learning a new language would also be satisfying. Certainly, food for the brain and soul are what you should be seeking now.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Being very much in demand for your talents this week means less time to spend socially, so it's important to make time for loved ones at the weekend.

Someone seeking your advice may simply be seeking your approval for an action they are going to take, anyway.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There may be some opposition to your ideas as Pluto turns this week. Perhaps your natural charm just doesn't seem to be working. As you have helped others in the past, make it clear that you expect a bit of co-operation. It is not through lack of will that some people do not offer help.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) This is a week when progress

is fast and plans run ahead.

Try new ideas and seek information to hone your knowledge. An organisation that is new to you offers insight and social involvement. An offer that thrusts you into the limelight might be avoided at first but would be to your advantage.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Although you have perhaps been looking to money-making ideas to progress finances, think also of alternatives.

Perhaps there are areas of your lifestyle where money could be saved. Items that are not used could be sold for a profit and rid you of clutter.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Having suffered a bit of a setback last week, you may be feeling less confident. Revving up your social life will certainly help to bring spirits up again.

Be with people who liven or inspire you in some way and avoid boring or moaning folk.

A strong and exciting romantic feeling flows through the week, which is fitting as Valentine's Day comes round again next month. Someone returning from a trip makes you smile and boosts your spirit. People who have been a little bossy of late finally realise that you will not rise to the bait.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) It's a better week for travel with less likelihood of delays.

Should you be feeling a little lethargic and sorry about recent events, just count your blessings. Consider raising some money and having fun at the same time by indulging in a garage or car boot sale. Doing something entirely different can boost your mind and activity levels, which can't be bad. Working with others is a giggle and spills over into your social life.

Turn back time ARE you ageing faster than your years? If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, it may be time to evaluate some of your daily routines. The foods you eat and even the way you sit may shorten your lifespan. Here, are some common age-accelerating habits and ways to reverse the process.

You multitask.

If your to-do list never seems to get any shorter, the stress from your hectic life may be taxing your body. Several studies show that chronic stress triggers the release of free radicals, the unstable molecules that damage cells and are responsible for ageing. Instead of trying to do it all try concentrating on one task at a time and only moving on once you finish it.

You spend most of the day sitting.

People who spend most days in a chair are at increased risk for kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, not to mention obesity. Exercising regularly helps to prevent these health issues and keeps you living longer. Study

participants who exercised 150 minutes or more a week lived 10 to 13 years longer than the inactive bunch.

You don't use eye cream.

Skin around the eyes is thinner than the skin on the rest of your face and shows age faster. Keeping the eye area moisturised can take years off your face. Important factors include emollients, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. These promote formation of collagen and elastin to tighten the skin and reduce fine lines around the eyes.

You use sunscreen, but only on holiday.

The number-one cause of nearly every sign of premature ageing on the human face is ultraviolet exposure. UV light is present even when it's cloudy or raining. Protect your skin by wearing sunblock any time you go outdoors.

You cut out all fat from your diet.

Some fat is necessary for maintaining a youthful feeling and appearance. Heart-healthy omega 3 fatty

How to tackle night-time anxiety IT’S a common problem, as soon as the lights go off, the mind suddenly switches on and all attempts to go to sleep go out the window.

Being haunted by anxiety while you’re trying to rest is bad timing to say the least, but there are several simple things you can do to put a lid on your worries and help you finally drift off.

An easy way to get your mind in the habit of going to sleep when you want it to is to establish a night-time routine that works for you and stick to it.

Whether it’s having a bath at the same time each evening before you go to bed, or reading a chapter of a book, having a set routine in place will help your brain to recognise when it’s time to go to sleep, making it easier to switch off. The more you stick to the routine, the easier it will be to fall asleep when you want. You should also try to avoid stimulants, like alcohol and caffeine, in the last few hours before you go to sleep.

As alcohol is a stimulant as much as it is a sedative, it makes us more likely to wake up in the night, as it gets metabolised so quickly and it leaves the body wanting more.

Meanwhile caffeine takes six hours to

MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED MY name is Willow - I am a 28-year-old mother living and working on the Costa del Sol. I’m here wanting to tell you my story of survival and what it’s like living with a mental illness.

I’m hoping that by telling you my story and the challenges I go through on a daily basis it will not only inspire you but also give you that little bit of HOPE to carry on fighting this uphill battle and to not feel alone.

I’ve suffered from it for most of my life.

Looking back I can pinpoint exactly when I knew that I was different.

I now look back and gently laugh at all the people who thought I had the perfect life, that I was a young, talented and bubbly person. Unbeknownst to them, I was terrorised by my demons.

Having been diagnosed with Bipolar and Anxiety disorder nearly six years ago, I know that there is not one aspect of my life that has gone untouched by this mental illness.

My bipolar and anxiety disorder were triggered by a sexual attack which took place eight years ago.

A few weeks after the attack, it had all just gotten too much and I decided to end my life - I was too tired to carry on fighting.

I was found by my mum and dad with minutes left to spare and rushed by ambulance to hospital.

I was quizzed about why did I want to take my life, that I had a loving family, I was young and had my whole life ahead of me.

I could see people looking at me and thinking … Why? The truth is, when you hit such a low point, you don’t think about anyone else, you don’t feel. I felt numb, I didn’t care about anything.

For months after the attack, I suffered horrific nightmares and I was unable to sleep alone.

I obsessively thought I was being followed or looked at. I suffered panic attacks on a daily basis.

I lost all ability to concentrate or even complete simple tasks, often feeling disoriented, forgetting where, or who I was.

I felt as if I had completely lost my mind.

For a time, I managed to keep it together on the outside trying not to show

HEALTH & BEAUTY

what I was going through, but it’s simply the worst thing you can do, you lose control on reality.

What is real? Who is real? You end up believing your own lies. You convince yourself you’re okay when you are not.

I started self harming, thinking that if I hurt myself harder than my thoughts were hurting me, then maybe I couldn’t be hurt.

The horrifying thing is, I found relief in self harming, not realising the damage it does to you. Not only are you left with scars on your skin, but the damage it does to you psychologically is the deepest scar of all.

With several hospital visits and stays in different psychiatric wards I was diagnosed with reactive depression and Borderline Personality Disorder due to the sexual attack I had suffered.

I slowly gained trust in the doctors, I was able to tell them what was happening, how I was feeling, not realising that I had actually been suffering way before the sexual attack took place.

Taking medication and undergoing therapy marked the turning point in recovering from my mental breakdown.

For me there is no cure, no final healing. I will never be free of bipolar.

BUT there are things that I can do to ensure that I never have to suffer as I did before being diagnosed.

I’m no longer a prisoner of my illness and I would not be here today had I not had the proper diagnosis and treatment.

The most important thing to know is that it’s never too late to seek help and speak out.

Nobody should suffer alone with this There are still days I simply do not function and there are relapses that set me back. But I have got to know myself, know my mind and know the triggers.

I have my little daily routines that I have to stick to which allow me to lead a normal life.

I’ve also learnt than on the days it gets too much for me, to give in, there is no harm in telling yourself to stop, slow down, ride through it as best as you can.

Everything in this life is passing. Just ride it out.

Before you know it, you wake up and it’s a new day, a new dawn.

Just hold on, hold to that little bit of hope and don’t let go of it.

Join me as I look at the outside world from the inside.

This is me.

A COLUMNIST DEDICATED

TO HELPING OTHERS INTRODUCTION Dear Readers, I AM super excited to be here to welcome you to my new column covering topics surrounding Life Coaching and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I was a 41-year-old mum and wife who suffered some very dark times, I decided that it was time to heal my wounds and start living life rather than just exist.

After reading many self development books such as; You are a badass, The universe has your back, The Secret, and studying Life Coaching and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy I found

that there was light at the end of the tunnel.

At first, this was purely for selfish reasons, It was time for me. As I progressed, I noticed that there were others who were in either the same or similar situations, and it was in that moment I knew I had to help.

I started off small, offering my services to a few wonder ful clients whom have since become great friends.

To w i t n e s s t h e i r l i g h t b u l b moments and watch them heal before my eyes gave me such a warm sense of gratitude. I continued with further courses and began to grow my business.

After recent events in the media regarding the beautiful Caroline Flack, I felt I needed to do more. The

news of her death reminded me that mental health is still a major issue that needs to be addressed and I knew I had to speak out!

So, here I am! Ready to serve you!

Each week I will be covering different thoughts, feelings and behaviours that all of us witness at some point in our lives and will be sharing techniques of how you can o v e rc o m e t h e m .

Go nutty for nut butter NUT butters are packed with protein, and are also full of those good fats which help to keep your heart healthy. However, are some versions better than others?

Nut butters generally fall into two kinds: raw and roasted. Roasting nuts apparently does not change their nutrition levels and gives them a more rich and toasty flavour.

However, many companies that roast the nuts beforehand often do so in oil, which increases the fat content as they absorb 2 to 5 per cent of the oil they are cooked in.

You can also get ‘no added’ or natural nut but-

SO MUCH CHOICE: Almond, cashew or peanut butter?

ters. While a ‘no added’ butter means it still has added oil, peanuts and preservatives, just no sugar and salt, the ‘natural’ kind should be free from all of these.

Aside from traditional peanut butters which are high in protein and a good source of vitamin E, you can also get almond

butter, cashew butter, macadamia butter and walnut butter.

Almonds are a good source of magnesium, calcium and vitamin E and are low in cholesterol whereas cashews are rich in iron and magnesium.

Macadamia nuts con-

tain manganese and thiamine and can lower cholesterol while walnuts are packed with folate, fibre and omega-3 fats which have been proven to boost brain function.

Bikini clad jungle queen!

JACQUELINE JOSSA, who was crowned ‘Queen of the Jungle’ whilst on the television programme, ‘I’m a Celebrity... Get me out of Here’ due to her down-to-earth attitude, originally caught the public’s eye with her role as ‘Lauren Branning’ in the BBC soap opera, ‘Eastenders.’

Jacqueline recently wowed the public with the transformation she made from the natural look, to a stunning, glamorous look when she posed for a bikini photoshoot last week in Marbella, Costa del Sol! On Instagram, she shared a behind-the-scenes view of her shoot for her ‘In The Style’ collection. The actress

showed off her physique in a simple, vibrant green bikini top, as she posed for the photo.

She seemed very excited to be on the Costa, and you could see the enthusiasm on her face

in her Instagram video!

Celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge styled her locks into waves with hair extensions from Color Wow Hair. Make-up artist Krystal Dawn did her face, to accentuate her natural beauty.

Jacqueline Jossa’s collection for In The Style is set to launch very soon.

‘In the Style’ introduce Jacqueline as “Showing courage, kindness and vulnerability we could all relate to - Jac inspired us all in the jungle and stood for everything girlpower. We couldn’t be prouder that the queen of the jungle is now part of the ITS family, so stay tuned for exciting things to come.”

Cristiano Ronaldo Family Goals!

DESPITE having to juggle a busy schedule for his duties with Serie A club Juventus, 34-year-old footballer Cristiano appears to do his best to be a doting father to his four children. He recently proved that ‘family comes first’ when sharing a heart-warming picture of him with his children, Cristiano Jr, nine, twins Eva and Mateo, two, and Alana - his daughter with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez - also two, in the bathtub.

This cute photo, where he seems to be beaming with pride for his family, which he shared on Instagram last week, gained loads of attention from his delighted followers and caused him to be hailed as ‘family goals’ on social media.

The Portuguese star fell into full relaxation mode in the adorable image, which he captioned: ‘Funny moment with my babies,’ following his triumphant match against SPAL over the

A disease with no name CHLOE is an 11-year-old from Marbella who suffers from a disease that is so rare that only 12 cases are known anywhere in the world with just her in Spain and at the moment there appears to be no treatment available.

Now identified as being caused by a problem with a gene known as VPS13D, it affects her in many ways, causing irreversible damage to her muscular and nervous systems, so that her hips, legs and speech are affected.

It took seven years of investigation to even identify the cause of the problem and with just one case in Spain which is hers; there is little encouragement for the local health service to try to find a cure although doctors are try-

This week Celebrity Chef & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala is cooking a delicious Vegan recipe which can be enjoyed by everyone!

The Aliens have landed!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com IN the TV series Dr Who, Vegans are aliens, a humanoid species recognisable for their large eyes and large amounts of body hair when compared to humans.

They are physically strong and possessing infrared vision. In the real world most of us think of vegans as a bit freaky, but are they really, or are they the clever ones?

The advantages of being a vegan are quite staggering.

Vegan food is richer in nutrients, can help you lose weight, can lower blood sugar levels and improve kidney function, can protect you from certain cancers, lower the risk of heart disease and

reduce the pain of arthritis.

It’s an altogether one stop shop way of eating healthier and some stats say that they can prove that a plant diet can add years to your life as this sort of natural diet can provide so many health benefits.

The exact reasons why these benefits occur are not fully known until further research emerges but we are told and advised that it can only benefit you to increase the amount of nutrient-rich, whole plant foods in your diet, so let’s do it!

I am not telling you to become a vegan. I could never be a vegan as I love meat and fish too much, but what we can do is introduce some plant-based dishes into our diet and start to think about eating at least one meal a week that is plant-based.

The reason that I am writing this week’s article about vegan food is because I recently

Michele Steven & two masked aliens

changed the for mat of my menus to include vegan dishes, vegetarian dishes, healthy dishes and gluten free dishes.

I didn’t really expect to sell many in these categories, but then again we are a specialist restaurant and people come to us for specialised foods. We frequently get par-

ties of people requesting vegan tasting menus, gluten free and other intolerances.

Intolerances we can cope with as long as the client isn’t intolerant!

We recently had a client complain that we couldn’t guarantee a 100 per cent nut free meal for his serious nut allergy son. I explained that even the airlines won’t guarantee they are 100 per cent nut free because traces of nuts can be air born and can be found in the air through the air conditioning.

We are a tiny restaurant with air conditioning and open dishes of nuts in the kitchen, I explained. They weren’t happy but a lifethreatening nut allergy is not something that I want to contend with in my busy little kitchen, bring on the vegans any day!

So, this recipe was bor n from my passion for great flavours coupled with the

new trend to eat more plantbased foods. I love oriental flavours like wasabi, tahini, sake, kaffir lime etc mixed up with some garlic fried kale (right on trend at the minute) with wild mushrooms and roasted cauliflower (also on trend!).

It’s on our lunch time menu but I do a smaller more sophisticated version with truffle shavings for the evening vegan tasting menu and then smoke them at the table.

The menus came out the first week of February and we ordered more kale and more tahini on the second day! It has been a real hit. Mainly because at lunch time at The Geranium, it is all about small sharing plates and this dish is perfect as a kind of side dish, but then when you try it you will want more!

I was a little surprised at its popularity, but wait until you try this fabulous recipe!

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

Curly kale with wild mushrooms, tahini, wasabi & roasted cauliflower INGREDIENTS (for four) 1 whole kale or bag of kale leaves washed and stalks removed 2 cloves of garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped finely 1 small punnet (200g) of mixed wild mushrooms 50g of unsalted butter 1 tablespoon of cooked chickpeas 1 small cauliflower with florets removed and sliced thinly ( raw slices) 1 teaspoon of Thai (or Chinese) five spice 2 flat tablespoons of tahini paste 1 tablespoon (glug) of sake or any dry white wine 1 flat tablespoon honey Juice of 1 kaffir lime or regular lime 1 teaspoon of wasabi powder (or paste) 1 tablespoon of Spanish extra virgin olive oil Maldon salt and fresh ground black pepper Micro cresses to garnish

A REAL HIT: Kale with wild mushrooms and wasabi tahini.

Method This is a very simple recipe. It’s all about mixing these great ingredients together with a bit of love and the help of some nice spices.

The Tahini Sauce Put the tahini paste into a small saucepan and add the wasabi and the sake and stir well in. Now add the honey and if too thick add a dash of water so that it is double cream consistency. Add the lime juice and taste and season.

Leave on one side so that it is warm but not directly on the heat or it will thicken too much.

Cooking the Kale and Vegetables Firstly heat a pan with nothing in and add the raw cauliflower slices.

Now add a touch of olive oil and a pinch of the oriental spices and some Maldon salt.

Tur n the cauliflower over and it should be caramelised and golden.

Remove from the heat and reserve.

The main ingredient of this lovely war m salad is the kale and so you need to be careful not to overcook it.

Simply blanch the kale leaves in boiling salted water and then remove

with a slotted spoon.

Fry the wild mushrooms in a frying pan and add the garlic and butter and a little olive oil until the mushrooms soften. Now add the blanched kale and the chickpeas and some more of the Chinese spices. And finally add the cauliflower pieces. Stir gently together.

Now drizzle the tahini sauce over the cooked vegetables reserving a little sauce in the pan for the finish. Remove the vegetables with a spoon and serve equal amounts of each vegetable in a sort of pile (see picture) on small white plates or bowls. (In the picture I brushed the plate with some beetroot syrup which I made by mixing chopped cooked beetroot with sugar and water until it becomes syrup. Then pass it to remove beetroot pieces and brush on the plate.)

Serve immediately and finish with a little drizzle of tahini sauce on top of each pile and top with micro cresses.

LETTERS FROM CANARIES

By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com HELLO from the Canary Islands, with a mixed bunch of news, including inclement weather; an invading virus; record tourism figures; drought; world class classical music; more unfortunate Africans arriving on small boats; crop blights and states of emergency.

Amongst all this, La Gomera, surface area just 369.8km, made national and international news when it won the dubious honour of being the first place in Spain to host the dreaded Chinese Coronavirus.

We live there. This news caused considerable middle of the night telephone activity : “Hey Barbara. Are you alright?”

“Sorry to call so late/early, but just seen the terrible news!”

“What terrible news?” “Who is this?” And so on.

A mixed bunch of news today LA GOMERA: The first place in Spain to host the coronavirus.

the ‘a large slice of La Palma will fall off and cause a tsunami that will obliterate the eastern USA,’ story is trotted out by global TV channels to fill holes during no news periods.

We’re fine thanks. I think.

The Germans who introduced Coronavirus into Spain via La Gomera are still in isolation in our diminutive hospital, being cared for by careful (and rather thrilled) hospital personnel whose stories are golden local gossip collateral.

All of them are in good health and are being protect-

ed from both press hounds and the infection one of them picked up from a visiting Chinese work associate.

La Gomera, the Canary Islands and Spain’s health system have all aquitted themselves rather well throughout the ‘crisis,’ which just goes to show, in a week that’s seen an island GP (mine!) denounced for being too drunk to talk whilst on duty, that everything is possible.

Were there any Brexit wakes or celebrations up there on the mainland to mark the big day?

The 30,000 Brits resident in the Canaries were remarkably quiet, perhaps subdued by the dreadful calima weather.

We had desert sand, the occasional locust, perhaps some radiation from French nuclear testing in the Sahara 60 years ago when atom bomb Gerboise Bleue released 70,000 tonnes of TNT (Hiroshima x 5), blasted at us at speeds of up to 100kms an hour.

Although the calima affected the whole archipelago, La Gomera made the news again as the worst hit island, with an

estimated 30 per cent of island banana and mango crops damaged.

Taking our minds off sandy winds and Chinese virus, some of the best classical music in the world is lifting spirits at the 36th Festival of International Classical Music in Tenerife.

Twenty-six thousand people have been entertained by world class musicians, including London Philarmonic, Danish National Symphony and Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestras.

Meanwhile, people in La Lajita, Fuertventura, are thirsty and furious after nearly a week without water, with off the hook water authority office telephones doing little to quench thirst or ire.

On La Palma, Cabildo councillor Nieves Arroyo has declared an unprecedented (anywhere) state of climate change emergency on the island.

Something for everyone

It was a pleasure to welcome back Gerrit Oppelland-Hampel and Anouk Slegers; brilliant artists in their own right but also members of the Costa del Arte Collective with three other very talented female artists. Their styles complement each other perfectly and together offer a very desirable collection.

All charities are welcome to come on the show as a reminder to our community that they exist. Charo of the Butterfly Children Charity comes every week and now once a month we welcome someone from Cudeca. Between the shops,

CELEBRATING: We had the perfect match of personalities. volunteers, administration and specialised teams there’s a lot to be done and a lot we can do too. In this instance we welcome Vice President, Susan Hannam.

Although ironic, it was a nice chance for Susan to catch up

with a good friend and also guest on the show, Leslie Thomson. Leslie worked with funeral plans for 15 years and has been answering viewers’ questions, with humour.

Local lad Francisco Hidalgo is

the new general manager of the Hotel Sultan Spa as of just a couple of weeks ago. He’s worked around the world in some of the best hotels and is now excited to be back home in the heart of Marbella.

CIT is a Spanish networking association for businesses, small and large alike with great connections to the Spanish administrative system. I can only but recommend them as they work hard to promote their members, which includes sending weekly guests to Marbella Now! Kristina Szekeley was a huge support for me when starting MiMarbella FM and Marbella Now TV so it was nice to welcome her back for a hug and a catch-up.

Another of my favourite local artists is renowned worldwide for his talent with global exhibitions, however Alejandro Hermann feels most at home here in Marbella where he has three fabulous galleries to peruse; you’ll be impressed I’m sure.

www.nicoleking.es • www.zerohero.es

This week we meet entrepreneur Ali Parandeh who makes for a most interesting interview as does his friend, Tomas Nesnidal, author of the book ‘You are love.’

Linda Greenway of The Urban Villa shares the delights of her boutique hotel and the upcoming yoga and health retreats planned and Lorenzo Costantini reminds us how useful the Our Space co-working offices are, highlighting their unique ‘living’ concept and ability to host events.

Jeremy Ferguson usually joins us to talk about Spectrum IFA but talks of his involvement with Age Concern Marbella San Pedro and Göte Dahlbäck of European Recovery Coach dedicated to personally helping people overcome addictions.

Overcoming speaking in public can be a challenge too so it’s nice to welcome the exceedingly eloquent Percy Roland and Soledad Riverosh of the Marbella Toastmasters Club to practice public speaking; truly something for everyone.

BRINDLEY arrived in Spain with Louisa and Mike his owners. They moved from the Isle of Wight where he always enjoyed a daily beach walk.

When they emigrated, his owners wanted to maintain his routines. To this day they ensure they visit the beach daily. He likes nothing better.

Recently they joined HouseSitMatch to find a sitter to look after him while they go on a big birthday celebratory holiday, a Caribbean cruise. They found sitters for him through HouseSitMatch.

They joined the network as homeowners, built a profile and asked for help to build a house-sit advert with their dates.

Within three weeks they had four applicants to interview on the phone and chose their sitter. Now they are telling their friends!

What does it cost?

Brindley likes the beach.

The house-sitters care for the pets for free, in exchange they can stay in the owners’ home for free. It’s a fair exchange, a win-win facilitated securely through our professionally managed website.

How does it work?

You join as a homeowner member, for this there is a small annual fee. You get ID

checked for safety and then build your advert saying when you are going on holiday. House-sitters are mailed your advert, they respond and then you choose whom you would like to care for your pets.

FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT! DAVID WORBOYS I LOVE the Bob Monkhouse joke. “When I was young they laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian.

Well, they’re not laughing now!”

The least astute person I ever met was called Isa Wright-Burke, a Texan who needed to circulate more. He believed that if Jesus Christ was happy to speak English, then everybody should speak it. He also thought that Christopher Columbus was an American. He asked me to show him how to change a plug but his fingers turned to sausages. It was like trying to teach a penguin to play the piano. His brother was confined to a home for the mystified while his terrorist father had recently burned his lips trying to blow up a bus in Mexico.

People seem to think I’m funny.

Unfortunately, in my case, this

BOB MONKHOUSE: Wanted to be a comedian. means funny peculiar rather than funny amusing. Other people seem to be bewildered by every-

thing I say. I keep telling them I’m a liar but nobody believes me.

I parked my car in front of a

‘No Parking’ sign. An angry, wellbuilt man came up to me.

“Can’t you read?”

“Yes,” I replied. “I have read Don Quixote in the original Spanish.

I’m sure you have, too.”

I shall always be grateful for the plastic surgery team at St Andrews hospital.

“Are dogs allowed in this restaurant?”

“Not unless they are accompanied by a human.”

The GP had dandruff and a hacking cough while his nurse had three chins. I felt this was like seeking financial advice from a homeless person - or consulting a beautician with eczema.

Would you patronise a bald barber with body odour or a dentist with halitosis who looked like Ken Dodd?

Trump may have been successful in business but his being elected as President of the USA was as appropriate as Theresa May becoming manager of Arsenal. And that seems as likely as Saudi Arabia winning Olympic gold at women’s gymnastics or

the Winter Olympics being hosted by Trinidad.

Sunday night weather forecast: “Tomorrow will be muggy.

Followed by Tuegy, Weggy, Thurgy ...

She doubled up with pain. It’s no laughing matter.

Railway passenger: “I’d never stay here in Baltimore. It’s the asshole of the world.”

Ticket inspector: “And are you just passing through?”

It was raining rats and frogs and the supporters were on the edge of their feet. I asked my neighbour “Do you think Manchester United is given preferential treatment?”

“Was Hitler a racist?” he replied.

“Is rugby a contact sport?”

He released a throaty burp. I suggested he cut down on eating bullfrogs.

When Clint, a Canadian lumberjack, decides to change his name to Daisy and tiptoe into the ladies’ lavatory dressed as a ballerina, I think before long this will be considered normal.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care.

Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at any time. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeon line.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about rehoming, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

Ride the electric horse FORD has launched its new Mustang Mach-E electric crossover in London as the spearhead of a drive to electrify its UK fleet. The Mach-E is Ford’s first volume-production battery electric vehicle and the flagship for the launch of 18 mildand full-hybrid new models scheduled for launch by the end of 2021.

The styling strongly links the EV to the regular Mustang, reflected in

features such as the badge and front and rear lights, as well as several lines along the bodywork. The car lacks conventional door handles, instead featuring buttons that pop open the doors and small holds protruding from the front doors. Owners can use their smartphones as keys, or use a keypad built into the B-pillar.

The Mustang Mach-E sports a more radical interior, with a wide dashboard featuring a built-in soundbar. The dash is dominated

by a 15.5” touchscreen and a 10.2” digital cluster for the driver, while the steering wheel retains a number of physical controls.

The model will initially be launched with two battery pack sizes and three power outputs.

The entry-level version will feature a single motor driving the rear wheels, with either a 75kWh battery and 254bhp motor or a 99kWh battery and 285bhp motor. Both produce 307lb ft, with a

claimed 0-62mph time of under eight seconds and WLTP range of around 280 and 370 miles respectively.

The twin-motor all-wheel-drive version is offered with a 75kWh battery and 254bhp, or 99kWh and 332bhp. Both versions provide 429lb ft and a sub-seven-second 0-62mph time, with estimated ranges of 260 and 335 miles.

Charging is available through an AC home charger or via DC fast chargers at up to 150kW.

The rear-wheel-drive models will sit on 18” wheels, with 19” wheels for all-wheel-drive versions. Twinmotor machines gain adaptive LED headlights and red brake callipers, while limited-edition First Edition models also get a panoramic roof.

The Mustang Mach-E is being built in Mexico and is available to order now and will be sold exclusively online, with first deliveries expected around October next year.

Japanese Jazz HONDA says its new Jazz, to be sold exclusively as a hybrid, will “raise the bar in terms of comfort and driver enjoyment.”

The Jazz is the first in Honda’s current line-up to go hybrid-only, with other models soon to follow suit.

The company announced last year that all of its combustion-engined models in Europe will be offered with hybrid powertrains by 2022.

The new hybrid has remained familiar enough to appeal to those loyal owners, while also bringing in new people to Honda’s entry-level model.

The styling is a minor

evolution over the previous model but with more curved lines and redesigned lights, bumpers and bonnet. One notable feature is the split A-pillars, designed to increase forward visibility. The forward cabin design is a simple one, with clean lines and a touchscreen mounted in the centre console.

The Jazz uses a similar dual-motor hybrid system to the CR-V Hybrid but downsized for its supermini application. Honda says the powertrain “provides an exceptional blend of strong and effortless driving performance and impressive fuel economy.”

Three driving modes are available, allowing drivers to choose between running on the engine, the motors or a combination of the two. Regenerative braking functionality features, sending a charge to the battery pack under deceleration.

Honda has not yet confirmed which trims will come to the UK.

Kia Xceed ROAD TEST

by Nick Fletcher KIA describes its new Xceed as ‘an urban crossover utility vehicle’ that is an alternative to larger SUV models and is more sporty and practical than a conventional hatchback.

That’s a tall order, yet you don’t have to be in the Xceed for very long before you realise that Kia has pulled off this formidable feat. The new model is neat and nimble yet has a spacious interior, and it rides and handles well.

There is a choice of turbo-petrol engines, a diesel unit which Kia says is its cleanest ever, and a hybrid version will be available later this spring. There are three trim levels and

my test model was the entry version with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox, priced at €24,984 (£20,795).

Standard features include cruise control with speed limiter, air-conditioning, front and rear powered windows, keyless entry, alloy wheels, digital radio, Bluetooth and smartphone mirroring.

Safety features include lane-keep assist, driver attention warning, forward collision assist and hill-start control.

With 118 hp on tap, this engine is smooth and sweet, with 0-100 kph in 10.9 seconds and top speed of 185 kph (115 mph). Average fuel economy is 16.1 kpl (45.6 mpg) and emissions are 124 g/km.

The Xceed has sleek

standout styling with a long bonnet and a number of sporty visual accents. Inside, the cabin uses softtouch materials with satin-chrome detailing, and a large ‘floating’ central touch-screen stands proud of the dashboard. Seating is very comfortable even on long journeys and the car will accommodate five adults with ease.

The boot space of 426 litres is among the largest in the class and can be

The new three-cylinder turbocharged engine offers a higher level of performance with a maximum torque of 170 Nm from 2,000 rpm, enabling

versatile use while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

An ECO-G engine emits around 10 per cent less CO2 than an equivalent petrol engine.

This new model cleverly bridges the traditional hatchback and compact SUV classes and seems set to attract many new buyers to the brand.

Right from its design, the petrol engine is designed to run on LPG fuel. The additional LPG tank made of highstrength steel is located at the spare wheel, with-

out touching the petrol tank. Operation is simple for the driver. Switching from petrol to LPG, and vice versa, is done in two ways: manually, by operating the dedicated switch located in the passenger compartment at any time or automatically, when the LPG tank is empty. A dedicated gauge con-

trols the level of the LPG tank.

Dacia expects the models to be a hit with both private and business buyers. They’re likely to attract those looking for a low-cost alternative to diesel, which is increasingly being targeted by local authorities that need to clean up air quality.

Chelsea Taken Apart

By Bayern Munich Chelsea 0 - Bayern Munich 3 Match Report From Adam ‘Football with Brownie’ Brown SOMEONE call the police as I think football fans have been conned by the British based sports media!

I say that because just a few months ago the MSM pushed their agenda of telling us Chelsea’s youngsters are real stars of the future! However the reality is that they’ll end up as journeymen within the football pyramid because there’s absolutely no way they have what it takes to become top level players.

Whilst I do praise Lampard for giving their youngsters a chance and I also accept that inexperienced youngsters do breed inconsistency, it doesn’t hide the fact that the likes of Mason Mount, Tami Abraham and Ross Barkley are average at best. The latest example of my theory was Chelsea’s absolute inept Champions League performance on Tuesday against Bayern Munich.

Going into the game everyone knew Chelsea faced a tough task hosting a Bayern side who won all six of their group-stage games, but I’m sure that Frank Lampard would have hoped they could replicate their weekend performance that saw them beat Tottenham 2-1, so he named an unchanged side for just the second time as blues boss. Meanwhile Bayern boss Hansi Flick made four changes from his sides 3-2 win over Paderborn last time out. Tolisso, Odriozola, Hernandez and Coutinho dropped to the bench with Boetang, Pavard, Muller and Coman starting in their places.

From the off Bayern meant business and they could have been a goal up within the first minute as Jorginho was caught in possession in his own half and with Davies picking up the pieces the youngter then fed Muller on the edge of the box. He chose to ignore the run of Lewandowski and preferred to shoot in-

ITALIAN FOOTBALL: Has been affected by the Coronavirus.

Coronavirus blamed CHELSEA: Faced a tough task. stead but Chelsea keeper Caballero got down to hold onto the ball.

Chelsea hardly got out of their own half during the first 10 minutes but they did have a chance as Caballero went long to find Giroud from a goal-kick and the Frenchman flicked the ball on for the run of Mount down the right. He then cut inside defender Davies but the resulting shot was a tame effort and trickled wide of the target.

Bayern’s class was aleady oozing by this point and in the 28th minute Caballero pulled off a great save as Muller played a clever reverse ball in behind for Lewandowski. The striker let the ball run across him but the Chelsea goalkeeper was out quickly and blocked the poked effort.

In the 35th minute Muller almost put the visitors ahead as a cross met the head of the experienced centre forward but unfortunately for him the ball pinged off the cross bar.

As the half come to an end Chelsea almost surprised everyone as Alonso burst forward from the back and cut inside but his strike across goal was parried by Neuer only to end up going out for a corner.

The second half started as the first half ended with Bayern’s superiority clear for all to see and they finally broke the deadlock in the 51st minute. Gnabry cut inside from the left as

Azpilicueta slipped, he then slid a reverse ball through for Lewandowski down the left. The Striker then cut it back to Gnabry as he arrived at the penalty spot and he tucked the ball into an empty net.

It wasn’t long before Bayern doubled their lead as it was that man Gnabry again. Once again a quick exchange between Lewandowski and Gnabry undid the Chelsea defence in the 54th minute as the former slid a pass into the box for the latter. Caballero tried to close the angle but Gnabry tucked it just inside the far post with his left foot.

Chelsea by now must have been thinking of damage limitation and half way through the second half they enjoyed a brief spell of possession as Bayern’s intensity dropped off somewhat but the hosts couldn’t make the most of it. However as already stated that period was brief because the German champions made it three in the 76th minute as impressive Bayern youngster Davies made a superb run down the left, beating a number of defenders as their weak attempts to stop him was really embarrassing, he then crossed a perfect ball to Lewandowski who had a simple tap-in at the back post.

Bayern tried to get another before the final whistle as through their dominance alone they deserved it, however it wasn’t to be.

THE Coronavirus continues to create problems for Italian football.

The Coronavirus has hit Italy hard in the last few days, especially in the northern parts. Seven deaths have been reported so far and more than 270 cases of infected people have been confirmed in the country.

Last weekend, four Serie A matches were postponed and now it has been decided that this Thursday’s Europa League match between Inter and Ludogorets will be played in front of empty stands.

Vincenzo Spadafora, the Sports Minis-

ter of the country, has now announced to Football Italia that six matches in next weekend’s league round will be played without spectators as well.

Among these matches is the game between Milan and Genoa, as well as the Juventus vs Inter battle. Parma is also forced to play without an audience.

This decision, while wise to try to hinder the spread of this killer virus, will certainly lead to significant losses in revenue for the Italian football clubs that are affected. Football fans who planned on going to the matches are, of course, very disappointed as well.

West Ham give Liverpool A Fright LIVERPOOL were made to work to clinch a record-equalling 18thstraight Premier League win on Monday, needing a second-half rally to see off struggling West Ham 3-2 at Anfield.

Sadio Mane scored in the 81st minute to secure three more points on the march to a first title in 30 years, though they were made to work hard against opponents struggling at the wrong end of the table.

Jurgen Klopp’s runaway leaders took an early lead but benefited from a nightmare outing for Lukasz Fabianski to match Manchester City’s streak of victories in the competition.

It appeared to be business as usual for the Reds when they claimed a ninthminute lead on Merseyside, Georginio Wijnaldum nodding them in front.

The Dutchman stooped to convert Trent AlexanderArnold’s inviting cross, Fabianski only able to paw the ball into his net.

Home fans responded to the goal by chanting, ‘We’re going to win the

league’ - only to be quickly silenced by an equaliser at the Kop end.

Issa Diop met Robert Snodgrass’ corner at the near post and his header squeezed beyond Alisson, meaning Liverpool’s advantage had lasted a mere 174 seconds.

Substitute Pablo Fornals on for the injured Tomas Soucek - then put West Ham ahead in the 54th minute, providing a wellplaced, first-time finish when picked out by Declan Rice’s cross.

Yet with David Moyes perhaps contemplating a first Anfield win in his managerial career at the 16th attempt, Fabianski’s struggles continued.

Having just produced a spectacular save to tip away a drive from Alexander-Arnold, the usually reliable goalkeeper allowed a drive from Mohamed Salah to spill between his legs and cross the line.

The comeback was complete for Liverpool when Fabianski’s ill-advised decision to come out and meet Alexander-Arnold allowed the full-back to clip

a bouncing ball back inside for Mane to turn home.

Mane had a second goal ruled out by VAR for offside, but Liverpool were still able to celebrate a 21st successive home triumph, an English top-flight record they share with the legendary Bill Shankly’s side from 1972.

The procession to the crown nearly hit an unexpected stumbling block, but Liverpool move a step closer to their goal.

If they and nearest rivals City keep on collecting wins in the coming weeks, the Reds’ home clash with Crystal Palace on March 21 is the date to mark in the calendar, as they need a further 12 points to be certain of glory.

After a poor showing in a 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, Liverpool were lethargic until West Ham’s second goal woke them up. However, AlexanderArnold was bright and busy throughout, with his awareness teeing up Mane’s winner and taking his tally of Premier League assists to 25.
