MALAGA AIRPORT: Passenger traffic has increased Credit: Caron Badkin/shutterstock

DESPITE the problems with air‐ line cancellations and strikes affecting both Ryanair and EasyJet, Malaga Airport en‐ joyed a continued increase in passenger traffic.

Management company AE‐ NA announced on July 12 that the number of passengers who passed through the air‐ port in June was 1,907,290 which equates to 92.8 per cent of the total of passengers trav‐ elling in June 2019.

Across Spain, only Madrid, Barcelona and Palma Mallorca saw larger numbers of passen‐ gers which shows that the Cos‐

ta del Sol is still a major magnet for holiday and business trav‐ ellers. Although the number of international travellers far ex‐ ceeds those on internal flights, the number of passengers travelling from airports in Spain has remained very close

to the June 2019 figures and there is still room for overseas numbers to increase in the summer months. All in all, the figures will be encouraging to all businesses that rely on holi‐ daymakers.

Spain living ADVENTURES ABROAD: Expats come to Spain for many reasons

THE Euro Weekly News is fascinated by the different life journeys of the many nationalities of expats who move to Spain, whether it be to start a business, for love, to enjoy the lifestyle or simply to make the most of the beautiful weather.

The story of British entrepreneur Jason Godwin, who moved to Spain's Mijas in Andalucia in 1992, is a great example of a successful relocation to Spain. He said on Facebook: “Thirty years ago, 12 July 1992, fell on a Sunday. A young man arrived to Malaga on a flight from Manchester. With very little money but rich in enthusiasm and ambition." "The past 30 years have flown by and have been an incredible adventure, most recently with the

beautiful addition of Apricot Lottie Lee to my family." "I've loved every minute of it and can only wonder where the future will lead..."

We would love to hear more stories like Jason's from our readers; so please tell us your stories; Why did you choose to come to Spain?

ALREADY the proud possessor of two blue flags for its beaches, the Benalmadena Council is now bidding to obtain a green flag.

Run by the Green Flag Movement, this initiative aims to reward the effort of hos‐ pitality establishments and the activism of coastal municipalities for sustainability dur‐ ing the summer, especially with regard to the correct management of their waste In summer, a third of the glass containers put into circulation are consumed and 52 per cent of them are generated directly in the hospitality sector, so their involvement is key to generating a real transition towards a more circular and decarbonised model.

At the end of the season, Ecovidrio will an‐ nounce the two most mature establish‐ ments in the environmental management of their activity. Thanks to the Green Flags movement, in 2021, 31,045 tons of glass containers were collected in the 127 partic‐ ipating coastal towns.

Jellyfish warning A WARNING has been is‐ sued for a rise in the num‐ ber of jellyfish expected for Malaga's beaches. Aula del Mar, issued a warning on Sunday, July 10, for an in‐ creased amount of jellyfish expected on Malaga's beaches, as reported by Spanish press.

Marbella, Manilva and Estepona beaches will be amongst the most affect‐ ed.

"Due to the wind direc‐ tion, it is very probable that jellyfish will enter the beaches, especially with the rise of the tide", claims the infojellyfish app, devel‐ oped by Aula del Mar. Every summer, the In‐ fomedusa application car‐ ries out a specific monitor‐ ing of the situation of all the beaches in Malaga thanks to the collaboration of volunteers, lifeguard services and town councils.

The province of Málaga registered warnings of

swarms of Pelagia noctilu‐ ca in municipalities such as Mijas, as well as loose specimens of Rhizostomas luteum in several coastal municipalities.

Pelagia noctiluca, is a small jellyfish, with sting‐ ing cells on its tentacles and bell. Their stings are painful, often lasting for quite a long time. Howev‐ er, they are neither fatal nor dangerous.

Estepona bullfight A SMALL demonstration in Estepona Bullring prior to the bull‐ fight which took place on Saturday July 9.

It’s a tradition in many Spanish municipalities that during the week of the fair, one day is dedicated to bullfighting and Estepona is no exception.

Some 19 people of many nationalities gathered outside of the bullring to protest about the event and according to one participant, whilst the Local Police were very polite, some of those attending the fight (many accompanied by young chil‐ dren) were quite verbally abusive. There is currently a petition at www.change.org/p/stop‐bullfighting‐in‐estepona for those who want to encourage the local mayor to ban future bull‐ fights. A previous protest in 2020 appeared to have attracted a larger number of people supporting the anti‐bullfighting lobby and a similar petition obtained nearly 30,000 signatures.

Golf marathon

FORMER golf profes‐ sional David Steele has once again held a successful golf marathon challenge, this year smashing his fundraising goal of €10,000.

In fact, it appears that he is well on his way to doubling that amount for two very worthy charities on the Costa del Sol: Cancer Research and Centro Contigo in La Linea, a charity for dis‐ advantaged children and their families.

On Thursday 7 July at The San Roque Golf Club David undertook to play six rounds of marathon speed golf, the idea being that teams should not take more than two and a half hours per round.

Then on Saturday July 9 two extra events took place; a Champagne Texas Scramble was held on the San Roque Old Course as well as a Pro‐Am Competition where three amateur players played with a Profes‐ sional.

Proceedings were rounded off at a Cocktail Party where presentations were made and an auction took place of items generously do‐ nated by supporters of the Marathon Chal‐ lenge. Representatives of the Centro Contigo Charity in La Linea were in attendance with crafts made by some of the children at the centre.

In total, during July, 18 students will learn how the nursery schools of Calancha, El Nido, El Mar, and Los Pitufos operate.

During this period the students' internships will be governed by the regu‐

lations of the University of Glasgow. They will fol‐ low all the procedures and guidelines of the Municipal Nursery Schools, as well as the in‐ structions and recom‐ mendations issued by the municipal staff.

The students will ob‐ serve the work carried out by the workers of the municipal schools, and will always be accompa‐ nied by the monitors and teachers.

EXPLAINER: What is the Virgen del Carmen THE "Virgen del Carmen", is the patron saint of the sea and the Spanish Armed Forces, who celebrates her official day in Spain on Saturday, July 16.

The Virgen del Carmen (Virgin of Car‐ men) is very popular festivity in Spain that is celebrated in many inland areas, but it is especially significant for people of the sea areas, who honour the Virgen del Carmen as the "Star of the Seas."

As the story goes, a group of religious people from the Holy Land settled on Mount Carmel and built the first church dedicated to Saint Mary of Mount Carmel.

These religious people were the origin of the Carmelite Order and their devo‐ tion to the Virgin Mary led to the birth of the cult of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Legend has it that it is celebrated on July 16, because Simon Stock, a superior of the order, asked the Virgin of Mount Carmel for a sign of her protection.

Since then the Patron Saint was wor‐ shipped by sea‐faring people, who prayed for good weather, plentiful fish‐

The statue of the Virgin is normally carried into the sea by devout bearers who sing the seafaring Salve, before placing the statue on a boat, where she continues her procession through the sea, followed by hundreds of boats dec‐ orated for the occasion.

Unexpected ruling IN AN unexpected ruling, a Spanish judge has given the green light to a gun‐ man severely injured in his arrest to go ahead with his euthanasia request prior to trial.

The ruling on Friday, July 8 comes as the judge says that the law does not al‐ low the court to intervene in a euthana‐ sia case whether the person is incarcer‐ ated, awaiting trial or not.

Marin Eugen Sabau, 46, shot and in‐ jured a number of people before barri‐

cading himself in and shooting at police.

During the incident, he was shot in the spine causing him severe injuries.

The Tarragona judge who heard Sabau’s case said that the law does not regulate "specifically euthanasia ap‐ plied to people who are in a provisional prison situation or subject to a judicial procedure of any kind."

She added: "Exclusions are only fore‐ seen in case of minors or people who do not have the capacity to decide."

Tweeting an update on Friday, July 8, Hugh Elliot said that progress is slow and the two parties were still trying to work through the technicali‐ ties on any agreement.

He went on to add that

he was very aware of the difficulties that the issue is causing for some, say‐ ing that resolving the problem remains a top priority for the Embassy.

Rare reaction Image Shutterstock – EasyJet Oriana Pepper

TRAINEE PILOT: Was bitten by a mosquito.

A 21-YEAR-OLD trainee easyJet pilot was killed by a mosquito bite after she developed a fatal infection, according to an inquest into her death.

The inquest said on July 6 that Oriana Pepper had been bitten above her right eyebrow whilst on a training programme in Belgium.

Taken to the hospital a year ago, the Bury St Edmunds’ resident was given antibiotics and told to go home. Two days later her boyfriend James Hall rushed her to hospital after she collapsed, only to die in hospital a few days later.

The Senior Coroner in Suffolk Nigel Parsley tes-

tified that O riana had died “as a result of a serious infection caused by an insect bite to the forehead.”

The mosquito bite had turned into a septic embolus which then spread to her brain. Parsley told her parents Tristan and Louisa that: “I’ve never seen a case like this before. Mosquito bites are common as are mosquito-borne diseases in the tropics, but a rare infection killed the trainee pilot.”

Farm labour shortages A C C O R D I N G to media sources on July 5, farmers are facing millions of pounds of losses after the seasonal worker visa granted by the Home Of‐ fice failed to deliver suffi‐ cient numbers of work‐ ers.

Visa processing delays and a collapse in the number of Ukrainian workers coming to the UK after the Russian invasion have resulted in a short‐ age of workers. Added to that Russians who had been granted visas, have since had them cancelled.

According to those agencies recruiting work‐ ers from Russia, no rea‐

son was given for the can‐ cellation despite there being no ban on Russian workers taking up sea‐ sonal jobs.

Figures provided by the Home Office show that the 60 per cent of the workers given seasonal visas were from Ukraine, while 8 per cent were from Russia.

The war in Ukraine has meant the numbers of ap‐ plicants from the country has all but dried up, and with countries in Europe having an open door poli‐ cy for those fleeing the conflict most have chosen to relocate elsewhere on the continent.

Similarly, they said improved technol‐ ogy was making the de‐ tection of cases easier, significantly increasing the number of diag‐ noses. Despite improve‐ ments in detection, few cases are caught in time with most being diag‐ nosed on admission to hospital, by which time it is often too late. Cur‐ rently, four out of every 10 are diagnosed in acci‐ dent and emergency departments.

In simple terms that means social media and online marketplaces will now be required to ensure that ‘what is illegal offline is illegal online’, including wildlife traffick‐ ing.

Bettina Stark‐Watzinger, German Education Minister, said a lack of German lan‐ guage skills was a very big hurdle in encouraging skilled workers to move there.

“The signal must be that we are an immigration coun‐ try,” she said.

A paper was drawn up by the Free Democrats party stating: “Language is the key to successful integration. The promotion of German for skilled workers and their fam‐ ilies must therefore be fur‐ ther expanded.

PUBLIC DEBT: Tax conundrum for new Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi

UK OFFICE for Budget Responsi‐ bility calls for tax increases as well as reduction in public spending.

The Office for Budget Respon‐ sibility (OBR) is a non‐depart‐ mental public body funded by the UK Treasury to provide inde‐ pendent economic forecasts and independent analysis of the public finances.

In little more than two years, the UK economy and public fi‐ nances have felt the conse‐ quences of a global health crisis caused by Covid‐19, a global se‐ curity crisis sparked by Russia’s

SUPERMARKET Asda has an‐ nounced it will help feed children this summer starting with Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Kids can eat for just £1 at any time of day in Asda Cafés, seven days a week, with no minimum adult spend required.

This is to help tackle holiday hunger at a time when the cost‐of‐ living is higher than ever so chil‐ dren aged 16 and under can access a hot or cold meal for just £1 and this will be extended to England and Wales from July 25.

An Asda spokesperson said: “We know that families can find the summer holidays tough and our customers are telling us that this year more than ever, they’re con‐ cerned about holiday hunger.

invasion of Ukraine, and a global energy crisis brought about by both.

In a little over a decade, we have also felt the economic and fiscal consequences of a global financial crisis and the uncer‐ tainty created by the UK’s deci‐ sion to leave the EU and the en‐ suing negotiations on how to go about it. In a recently published report, the OBR states “Discre‐ tionary fiscal support for house‐ holds, firms, and public services during the pandemic was un‐ precedented in scale, reaching 10.4 per cent of GDP at its peak

in the UK, and may have raised expectations regarding the role of government in future crises.

“The UK Government has so far spent as much this year (1¼ per cent of GDP) to help house‐ holds to cope with the sharp rise in the cost of living as it did sup‐ porting the economy through the financial crisis.

It concluded therefore that if public debt is to be not just kept under control but reduced to a target 75 per cent of GDP that there are no options other than to increase taxes and ensure that public spending falls.

The Kids Eat for £1 initiative is available all day, every day until the September 4 in Scotland, as long as the café is open and de‐ pendent on the store, a hot meal or cold meal, or both, will be on of‐ fer.

Baby food is also available as part of the initiative, with little ones able to enjoy a free pouch of Ella’s Kitchen baby food (70g pouch) in their local Asda Café.

Users of social media are en‐ couraging other supermarkets to follow suit and some are suggest‐ ing that this would be a great in‐ centive for pensioners as well.

Beanz meanz warz ALL is not well between big businesses in the UK as was observed firstly when Ama‐ zon announced that they would no longer accept pay‐ ment with VISA credit cards due to the amount of com‐ mission being charged.

That decision was soon re‐ versed as VISA clearly decided that a smaller percentage of significant turnover was bet‐ ter than a larger percentage of nothing.

Latest ‘hiccup’ occurred be‐ tween Heinz and Tesco as the producer of such iconic brands as Tomato Ketchup and Baked Beans suspended deliveries to the supermarket as it had refused to accept price increases apparently due to supply chain problems.

Tax Model 720 AS PREVIOUSLY reported, last January the European Court of Justice ruled that the Spanish Tax Law known as Model 720 was inappro‐ priate and included dispro‐ portionate fines.

Now on July 9, the Span‐ ish Supreme Court upheld a ruling in a test case before a court in Extremadura which means that the Treasury will have to return fines (with interest) levied on two peo‐ ple who were late in declar‐ ing their overseas assets.

With precedence of this type, it is fair to anticipate that not only will Model 720 have to be seriously over‐ hauled but there will be a significant number of ap‐ peals against fines previous‐ ly levied.

Amazon probe THE UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is aware that the European Commission is reviewing the situation of Amazon and potential unfair prac‐ tice but whatever conclu‐ sion it comes to, it will not affect the UK since it has left the Union.

For this reason, the CMA has launched its own in‐ vestigation which will con‐ sider whether Amazon has a dominant position in the UK and whether it is abus‐ ing that position and dis‐ torting competition by giv‐ ing an unfair advantage to its own retail business or sellers that use its services, compared to other third‐ party sellers on the Ama‐ zon UK Marketplace.

AGRICULTURAL CRISIS LABOUR shortages in the UK have resulted in crops valued at more than £36 million (€41.9 million) in one sector being destroyed with the number of appli‐ cants for seasonal work having dropped dramatical‐ ly.

According to the National Farmers Union (NFU) farm‐ ers are facing millions of pounds of losses after the seasonal worker visa grant‐ ed by the Home Office failed to deliver sufficient numbers of workers.

Figures provided by the Home Office show that 60 per cent of the workers previously given seasonal visas were from Ukraine, while 8 per cent were from Russia.

The war in Ukraine has meant the numbers of ap‐ plicants from the country has all but dried up, and with countries in Europe having an open‐door policy for those fleeing the con‐ flict, most have chosen to relocate elsewhere on the continent.

FARM WORKERS: Labour shortages are seeing food destroyed in the ground.

Sandfield Farms Manag‐ ing Director Derek Wilkin‐ son, told the British media that labour shortages had already cost around £250,000 of his asparagus and spring onion crop.

The company which em‐ ploys 750 seasonal workers said that the lack of de‐ mand for the jobs and visa issuing delays had resulted

in them being unable to hire sufficient workers.

Despite the shortages of labour, the government wants to phase the visa out altogether by 2024, instead opting to encourage au‐ tomation and local employ‐ ment.

The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) has warned that the government’s

plans are unrealistic. Tom Bradshaw, Deputy Presi‐ dent of the NFU, said: “We have a very low level of un‐ employment, we have 4 per cent unemployed and millions of vacancies, so it is unrealistic for it to be de‐ livered from the domestic workforce when there are plenty of permanent roles.”

Approximately 500,000 virtual pre‐ paid cards will be issued and loaded with a government input of €210 mil‐ lion in support of the culture sector, which was badly hit during the pan‐ demic.

Direct aid of €400 on an instant vir‐ tual card, which can be upgraded to a physical card, will be given to each eli‐ gible young person in Spain who turns 18 in 2022.

The funds can be spent on various cultural products and activities, includ‐ ing the performing arts, live music, films, libraries, museums, festivals, sheet music, records, books, audio‐ books and magazines.

The stimulus programme, part of Spain’s General State Budgets, will see €210 million pumped into the country’s economy over the next 12 months.

VIRTUAL CARD: €400 will be available for each 18-year-old.

The government will promote the new aid programme to revitalise and stimulate the cultural sector in Spain, guaranteeing the sustainability of the cultural and creative industries after the negative impact of the pandemic.

It also promotes universal and diver‐ sified accessibility to culture, promot‐ ing loyalty amongst young people to generate the habit of consuming cul‐ tural products.

“We’re very happy to be able to col‐ laborate with the Ministry to promote culture amongst young people. This project, which is part of the Correos Prepago business line, positions Corre‐ os as a benchmark for the delivery of social aid and financial inclusion within the company’s strategic framework of diversification,” said Manuel Zapatero Sierra, Director of Products & Services at Correos.

Sky’s the limit REFERRING to the fact that Spanish company Satlantis helped the Armenian state company Geocosmos launch its first satellite, the Spanish Foreign Minister welcomed his Armenian opposite number to Madrid.

The meeting took place on Wednesday July 6 to celebrate the 30th anniver‐ sary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic rela‐ tions between the coun‐ tries. José Manuel Albares Bueno announced that Spain intended to open a diplomatic residence in the capital Yerevan.

“Our trade and econom‐ ic ties have great potential and they literally reach to the sky, as the first Armeni‐ an satellite was sent into space in May of this year,” said the Spanish Foreign Minister.

Public transport SPANISH Minister Raquel Sánchez met with the au‐ tonomous communities on July 5 to discuss imple‐ mentation of aid to allow for the reduction of pub‐ lic transport costs.

The Minister of Trans‐ port, Mobility and Urban Agenda, Raquel Sánchez attended the National Transport Conference to confirm that those that reduced cost to the public by 30 per cent could ex‐ pect to receive financial support from a €110 mil‐ lion pot allocated from the Recovery, Transfor‐ mation and Resilience Plan.

The intention is to try to persuade commuters to use cleaner and safer public transport whilst in‐ creasing the efficiency of what is available by in‐ creasing digitalisation.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT PERSONALLY I’m not too worried about the resignation of Boris. I have always thought his whole family, including the wife were slightly askew. Now the UK is looking ahead, firmly committed to Brexit and facing two years of building public confidence before the next general election, I would like to see a new leader (not Sunak!) with strength and obligation to lead the Conservatives into another resounding victory. The idea of Starmer and the likes of Rayner and their leftie supporters actually holding the UK reins is a nightmare scenario which would once again inevitably bring the whole country to its knees. I also worry about the youngsters, already being targeted by the biased leftie media, who are producing a whole glut of racially influenced TV commercials and talk programmes, causing viewers to believe that the UK has a higher number of mixed race marriages and non‐white nationals, when in fact the true numbers only account for 9 per cent of its married population and overall include just 18 per cent of its citizens. (82 per cent actually make up the white majority

Who next who are now seem to be disregarded by the media organisers and casting agencies) The young have also never experienced the sight of the fat cat bully boys of the unions, fresh from their Marbella villas, emerging from 10 Downing Street and announcing that half the nation would be on strike if the 'workers' weren't given what their unions demanded. Also completely oblivious of periods when Labour ran the country and 'everybody out' issued from the employees of one vital institution after another until the whole country staggered from one crisis to the next and employers were blamed for everything from the price of soap to the shortage of cat litter. They have no knowledge of a country, run by a party who bribes its constituents by creating whole cultures of benefit scroungers, and to pay for these free handouts, taxes those with any initiative to create jobs and wealth to such a degree that many successful employers have no choice but to leave the country in droves. Labour is, and always has been, a party that has no idea how to actually create resources and always uses the wealth, painstakingly earned by

previous governments to create the illusion that they are a successful organisation by pouring investments into popular schemes that will ingratiate them and garner votes from their constituents. When there is no longer any previous legacy to use, they borrow, beg and steal until there is nothing left and they are finally voted out, leaving the incoming party to once again pick up the pieces. So, to all the young voters, who believe that the 'all men are equal, tax the rich and welcome all immigrants’ tirade that issues from the left is the answer, I suggest you all think again. I'm not saying it's going to be plain sailing.

But at least with a new competent Conservative leader and proficient government, you’ll have a chance.

Finding an appropriate property is even easier thanks to real es‐ tate company Idealist’s new fil‐ ter which allows web browsers to choose accessible properties for those with mobility issues.

This development has turned Idealista into the first property Marketplace in Spain with this function.

In the details of the properties listed on the Idealista website it is possible to write whether the property is appropriate for the use of those with reduced mo‐ bility. You can even filter prop‐ erties by “accessible living”.

Currently there are 34,000 properties on Idealista’s website which are appropriate for those

Barcelona province has most ac‐ cessible properties on the mar‐ ket (3,292), followed by Malaga (3,229), Alicante (3,155), and Madrid (3,058).

According to Franciso Iñarete, Idealista’s spokesperson, “the company’s foundational com‐ mitment was always to simplify the process of searching for a home for everyone. Thanks to the inclusion of this new filter we are convinced that the expe‐ rience of people with reduced mobility who are looking for a house will improve enormous‐ ly.”

House prices rising slowly THE year 2022 could be your year to pur‐ chase that second home you’ve always dreamed of, as a re‐ cent study by the Knight Frank house price index has re‐ vealed that Spain has one of the lowest rates of increasing house prices.

This places Spain in stark contrast to coun‐ tries in North America which have seen the highest increases in price led by the US and Canada.

House prices in Eu‐ rope have also risen remarkably by 11.6 per cent year‐on‐year in the first quarter of the Knight Frank house price index.

Countries such as Turkey are experienc‐ ing a 110 per cent in‐ crease, Czechia seeing 25.9 per cent rises and Slovakia not far be‐ hind with 22.1 per cent. Much of these price increases have been triggered by eco‐ nomic inflation.

Whereas in Spain, whilst prices have in‐ creased, they are by a much milder 4.4 per cent, like Italy which saw 4 per cent in‐ creases.

By contrast, the only countries which saw a decline in house prices according to the study were Malaysia (0.1 per cent) and Morocco (‐7.5 per cent).

Knight Frank have also commented that “despite the increase in prices, the resi‐ dential market con‐ tinues to be in good shape.”

OUR VIEW BANANA REPUBLIC MANY years ago, there used to be a comment about Latin and South American governments calling them Mickey Mouse or Banana Republics because everyone and his brother was a minister of some sort.

How things have changed in more ways than one as it became clear with the recent overthrow of Boris Johnson that the number of Conservative MPs who have been given positions which allow them to be paid more than their simple salary was close to 100.

When Johnson won the 2019 election, his party held 365 seats but that has now shrunk to 358 due to lost by elections, defections and suspension of three sitting MPs due to allegations of sexual misconduct.

By law, the Government is able to appoint 109 paid ministers which will include cabinet ministers, secretaries of state, whips and peers and at the time just before the Prime Minister announced his resignation there were 108 in post of which 91 were MPs, with a further three who are unpaid.

Effectively therefore just under 25 per cent of all Conservative MPs were paid as ministers which seems to be a very high proportion for a mature and long-established institution such as the House of Commons.

At the time of writing, there are 11 MPs who have declared an interest in becoming leader of the Conservative Party, some of whom are well-known figures whilst others are more politically obscure.

The UK seems to be heading for a recession with huge price rises, enormous debts and political instability as well as ongoing fall out with Europe over Northern Ireland so it is clear that whoever takes on the post is likely to be in for a rough ride.

MARBELLA MOMENTS

BY NICOLE KING I´M GOING to start with the conclusion: I will do it again and very much looking for‐ ward to it, but next time at least I’ll know what I’m get‐

FEATURE

Taking note ting into.

I’m referring to the Candle‐ light evenings being held in Marbella and Malaga over the summer. I went to the

Hotel Villa Padierna for the string quartet recital of Hans Zimmer film scores. For just over an hour we delighted in the performance of tracks from the likes of Interstellar, Inception and Gladiator whilst seated under the stars, surrounded by candle lights.

It was totally enchanting.

The setting couldn’t have been more appropriate, with the Roman style amphithe‐ atre as backdrop and the mu‐ sicians themselves outstand‐ ing, but I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed with the overall experience; I had expected so much more, just because of where it was be‐ ing held I suppose.

The artists introduced themselves, accompanied by light banter, in Spanish. It was cute but more appropri‐ ate perhaps for a school con‐ cert than a 5‐star luxury hotel venue was my first thought.

As the evening progressed however I started to lower my expectations to actually let myself enjoy the evening.

One thing that I couldn’t ig‐ nore though was how numb my bum felt from sitting on the stone steps. Albeit nice to recreate the feeling of what it would have been like back in the day we weren’t in ancient Rome. Note to self: take something to sit on if there’s a next time.

It also seemed to be a shame to let the almost 300 attendees depart straight af‐ ter the performance. Surely a hotel of that size could have enticed us to enjoy a cocktail or tapa supper within the in‐ stallations or grounds some‐ where whilst they had us all up there. Just by the nature of the event one would have to assume we were of a cer‐ tain calibre that could be of interest to the hotel as future

SUMMER CONCERTS: Marbella and Malaga have events

guests, even if just for events, lunches or dinner.

Not only a wasted oppor‐ tunity but also not helpful in dissipating the 300 people all leaving at the same time, all heading for their cars and on‐ ly 1 pay machine at the very exit to the car park. This meant everyone simultane‐ ously having to drive up to the barrier to pay, otherwise having to pay again for over‐ staying the expiry of the tick‐ et.

I personally kept myself calm as I was just following instructions from reception to drive up to the barrier and go and pay; the fact that I was in line for twenty min‐ utes was not of my doing. In‐

stead of worrying I enjoyed a chat with a lovely lady named Susie, also concerned about the situation which is how we got to talking. We also shared our thoughts on the evening, which we both thoroughly enjoyed; we both agreed though that the frus‐ tration and heat in the car park was perhaps not the best note to have finished on.

Peter McLaren‐Kennedy WITH summer around the corner, the town has con‐ firmed where you can park freely and without running into issues with the law, neighbours or anyone else.

To make sure you under‐ stand where you can park it’s important to understand the difference between parking and camping.

A parked vehicle is where it is only in contact with the ground through its wheels, it occupies no more space than when in motion, there is no fluid emission and the roof has not been extended.

Maximum parking time on urban roads is 48 hours and 24 hours on the beachfront in any seven‐ day period.

Camping is where addi‐ tional elements of the ve‐ hicle are used that exceed the normal size of the ve‐

hicle when travelling. That includes the use of stabilis‐ ers or legs, extended ceil‐ ings, and open windows or stairs.

Camping is not permit‐ ted in public areas or car parks, but only in those spots reserved or licensed for use as camping sites. A quick search on the inter‐ net or social media will provide details of the available campervan sites in and around Denia in the northern Costa Blanca.

WHAT better way to explore some of Spain’s south‐east coast than to hit up a few wild camping spots this summer to take in the beautiful, natural surrounds and unforget‐ table sunsets?

Start in L’Advocat, where there is a quiet picnic spot for you to pitch your tent. Near this urban beach in the town of Javea you’ll find Peñon D’Ifach, an iconic rocky outcrop which features a tunnel through a limestone mountain and a slightly adrenaline pumping scramble to reach the summit.

There is a free car park at the edge of this National Park.

Coordinates Lat. 38.63924 Long. 0.072720.

Next up, head to Villajoyosa, Cala et Char‐

col, a wild cliff camping spot with the most stunning sunset scenery and within earshot of waves crashing onto the pebble beach.

Co ordinates Lat. 38.490689 Long.‐ 0.280629.

Playa La Ermita in Santa Pola is next up on the route and is quite popular amongst campers pitching up their vans to marvel at the turquoise coastline.

Coordinates Lat. 38.214802 long. ‐ 0.507899 Travel a little further south and you’ll reach the Four Coves Coastal Path near Aquilas. Here you can follow the hiking route around the protected nature reserve which takes about an hour.

The best campsites in Andalucia ANDALUCIA can be characterised by the hours of sun it receives pretty much all year round… especially in summer. Although in general Andalu‐ cia enjoys a Mediterranean climate, due to it’s geographical diversity, in places like Sierra Nevada the climate is more mountainous, whereas in Granada or Almeria you can expect more tropical weather.

This wonderful variety makes An‐ dalucia a popular holiday destination

to visit again and again. And what better way to enjoy the climate than to ditch the hotels and camp beneath the stars?

If you’d love to wake up to views of breathtaking mountains, then you’ll love Camping Cordoba, located near‐ by the Natural Park of the Sierras de Cardeña and Montoro.

If you’d love to step out into im‐ pressive pines first thing in the morn‐ ing, then visit Camping Pinar de San

Jose, located in La Breña Natural Park.

It is also only 1km from Trafalgar beaches, so you can have the best of both worlds.

And if you’d love to drift off to the sound of waves softly lapping against the shore, Camping Laguna Playa in the south‐east of the Malaga Province is just 50 metres from the seashore and the town centre of Torre del Mar is just 400 metres in the other direc‐ tion.

Technology problems MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man A FEW beach bars where we live have been totally reformed and now look like 'proper restaurants' instead of the great looking places they were before. To be honest, for me, they have lost their character.

But worse than that they now all have this little hand held computer thingies to take your order. Now I’m sure this is very good if it works but in the two or three places I’ve tried so far they don’t and the reason is it’s a computer basically and those things only can do what they are programmed for.

In one place which we always used before the reform they were always very accommodating. You asked for something and if they had the ingredients you got it – simple. Now out comes the waiter with his little hand held device and starts taking our order. I asked what came with my main meal and he said straw potatoes. I said could I have different potatoes and he said, no that’s what it comes with and he doesn’t know how to change it on the computer. So I said go and get a bit of paper and write it

down but he didn’t and I got straw tatties.

My friend said he just wanted fried hake and chips. Waiter said fine and pressed lots of buttons and my friend got grilled hake and patatas a lo pobre. It looked lovely but was not what he ordered. And his wife’s didn’t arrive at all because - well actually I don’t know, it just didn’t arrive.

This type of thing has happened to me many times especially in America where I remember asking for a grilled tomato with my breakfast. The girl said they didn’t have them. Of course they had tomatoes and a grill but it wasn’t on the computer. I did have a scream up and finally got it. Bring back the pencil and paper and proper service.

If you are going to double park and be some time here’s a little tip for you.

DONT!! OK, just DON’T. It’s ok for a couple of minutes but this week I’ve seen people there for ages and the poor so and so trying to get his car out is just sitting with his hand on the hooter. The right thing to do is if you have to do it just leave a phone number by windscreen. Then I don’t have to listen to the noise of an irritated driver sitting with his hand on his hooter whilst I’m trying to enjoy my lunch.

Animals not allowed as pets TO protect the country’s highly valued flora and fauna, the Spanish author‐ ities have banned owning some animals which would normally be consid‐ ered standard household additions.

The change came in 2019 when the Spanish Council of Ministers up‐ dated the Spanish Cata‐ logue of Invasive Alien Species. This is due to a fear that the animals could be abandoned and consequently represent a danger to Spain’s ecosys‐ tem.

Amongst the banned animals are parrots, who threaten the survival of other birds in Spain like pi‐ geons and sparrows. In Madrid, the 13,000 Argen‐ tine parrots are kept un‐ der control by controver‐ sial annual bird culling.

Hedgehogs are also pro‐ hibited as pets in Spain as they pose a threat to na‐ tive species. This is so that they can remain indepen‐ dent and not become re‐ liant on humans for their survival.

Although Hollywood has made racoons seem like cute, fluffy companions, they are also a prohibited pet in Spain as it is be‐

And finally, Spain has al‐

so prohibited Vietnamese pigs as pets in case they escape and breed freely with wild boars, which produces perroli and

greatly dilute the native bloodlines, the high num‐ bers of which have a detri‐ mental impact on the local fauna.

Cool down your cat with these refreshing tips and snacks WITH temperatures on the rise, we’re not the on‐ ly ones who need to cool down every once in a while. Our furry felines can also overheat, and even suffer from sunburn if they remain in the sun for too long! Here’s some ways to keep your cat cool this summer.

Watermelons are a big hit amongst cats. Make sure to deseed the fruit before you give it to your cat and make sure not to give them too much as melons contain sugar which can make your cat ill in excess.

Ice cubes are also great

as a plaything for your fe‐ line friend and a way for them to cool down. The best part, it’s also free!

Endless refreshing fun for your cat. Likewise, cats can play and eat frozen peas if you put a few on the floor and let them have their fun.

As with humans, it’s al‐ so important for your cat to retreat to shade during the hottest hours of the day. Garden furniture placed strategically for your cat to rest behind is a good idea. You could al‐ so have a bowl of water readily available for them to stay hydrated.

WATERMELON: Is a big hit amongst cats.

Bathing your cat?

FOR cats, water is not synonymous with cleanliness like it is for humans. Cats produce a type of saliva that elimi‐ nates dirt and their long tongue has a texture which makes it easy to lick this dirt off their bodies. However, that doesn’t mean that they can’t enjoy water for play time!

Cats can be bathed but, for the most part, they like to play in water independently. What a lot of people don’t know is that the majority of cats are actually excellent swimmers. Remember, cats still have wild instincts ‐ you must have seen those videos of them drinking and playing with water from running taps?!

The RSPCA says: “Never use human shampoo on cats as they are unsuitable for cat hair and may dry out their skin. For a water bath, use a cleansing and deodorising shampoo formulated with natural ingredients. For cats with dry skin, try a dry skin and conditioning shampoo.

So maybe leave the soap out of it and have a paddling pool outside this summer for your cat to splash around in until their heart’s content in the hot weather, and most importantly, on their own terms!

We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference.

You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to

14 - 20 July 2022 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 clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sosanimals.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)

MOTORING

Modena motorsports history WHAT happened on the morning of Wednesday, July 6 at the Fiorano circuit in the Italian province of Modena will go down in motorsports history. After a series of preparatory checks, two‐ time world endurance

champion Alessandro Pier Guidi fired up the engine of the new Ferrari Le Mans Hy‐ percar (LMH), which the Maranello‐based company will use in the 2023 FIA WEC season.

The Italian driver complet‐

ed the LMH’s shakedown in the presence of CEO Benedetto Vigna. In the af‐ ternoon, Pier Guidi handed over to Nicklas Nielsen, who concluded the planned test programme.

"After so many months in the simulator, I finally had the chance to drive the real car, and that was a big thrill", commented Pier Gui‐ di. "Driving the Ferrari that will return to the top en‐ durance class fifty years since the last official partici‐ pation was very emotional for me".

During the day, Ferrari’s engineers concentrated on checking the various propul‐ sion and electronic systems ahead of the development test sessions: They alternat‐ ed between sessions on the track and long breaks neces‐ sary for routine checks.

Once again, the Fiorano track, which celebrates its fiftieth anniversary this year, witnessed a historic mo‐ ment ‐ the celebration of the return of an entirely Ferrari‐ produced Sports Prototype to the World Endurance Championship.

Mental health benefits of Walking Football heart rate, lowered cholesterol, improved blood sugar levels, b o n e d e n s i t y , a n d i m‐ proving reactions, whilst slashing the odds of suffering from type 2 diabetes – all in‐ dicators of general good health.

Walking football is an excellent way of stay‐ ing fit and healthy.

Studies have shown it can be effective in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension and that it can produce high aerobic activity

with marked improve‐ ments in fat oxidation and aerobic power.

Importantly, benefits are felt whilst deriving enjoyment, which makes people far more likely to exercise than perhaps the perceived chore of having to just ‘exercise regularly.’

Walking football also gives an often isolated section of the commu‐ nity the chance to be‐ come involved in some‐ thing they really enjoy, make new friends, form lasting relation‐

ships with like‐minded people and generally improve their social circle and overall quali‐ ty of life, often making them feel less isolated and more a part of the wider community, even if they don't feel able to play,walking foot‐

ball has a place for you,team manager, kit man, organising fix‐ tures etc or sitting on a m a n a g e m e n t c o m m i t‐ tee of the club or even just being involved in a social capacity for the good company and friendship. All these

things can help to keep older people mentally active and give their lives a very real sense of purpose and belong‐ ing, the value of which cannot be overstated.

THERE are also many psychological and men‐ tal health advantages to playing .redruced levels of stress and ex‐ ertion while playing, despite working physi‐ cally hard.

Walking football also offers a multitude of health benefits to older people such as reduc‐ ing the risk of cardio‐ vascular disease and stroke while improving blood pressure.
