75% cheat tax €104m lost as 49,000 holiday-home rentals kept secret OF the 65,000 holiday homes rented every year in Malaga Province, more than 75 per cent are not declared for tax purposes. This is costing the state €104.8m in unpaid taxes,

official estimates reveal. The Spanish tax office has launched a campaign to uncover this undeclared income and, since March, the main electricity companies are providing them with proof

of electricity consumption during the months when the apartments are supposedly empty. Uncovering undeclared income from rent is one of the main objectives of the government’s 2011

Anti-fraud plan. On the Costa del Sol, there are approximately 35,000 places available in officially registered premises, according to the National Institute of Statistics. Costa del Sol hoteliers estimate that 90 per cent of holiday-home rentals - dubbed ‘pirate apartments’ - are carried out without a proper contract being issued. A local estate agent, who asked not to be named, agreed that many do not declare or register these properties correctly, adding: “Although there is no excuse for people not declaring holidayhome income, it can be difficult for foreigners to find out when, where and how one is supposed to go about things. There is so much red tape involved it is often hard to know where to go for proper advice.”

By John Jackson AS Spain continues to drag itself out of recession, this year may see the biggest rise in tourists in five years, research by Euromonitor International shows. In the 12 months to April 2011, 53.7 million tourists visited Spain, 4.16 per cent more than the same period the year before. The number of tourists to Spain is expected to increase to 55.3 million in 2011, according to offical estimates. A government report suggests this optimism is based on three reasons: cancellations to North Africa due to political unrest; rising fuel costs making long-haul flights more expensive; and the economic recovery of European countries like Germany, Holland, Italy, France and those of Scandinavia. Spanish hotel prices have dropped by 30 per cent since its 2008 peak, National Statistics Office data shows. Hotels have further reduced their prices this summer in the hope of cashing in on unrest in countries including Egypt and Tunisia, Bloomberg.com reports. Fleeing tourists and cancelled bookings in late January and during February cost the Egyptian tourist industry an estimated US $1 billion (€683 million), Egyptian state statistics office, CAPMAS, figures show. In the first four months of 2011, hotel occupancy in Northern Africa fell by 46 per cent, according to STR Global. Ignacio Vasallo, the director of the Spanish Tourist Office for Britain and Ireland, says that for the first time in four years package tours to Spain are cheaper than those to Turkey.

Once the vehicle was on its way, the contortionist would emerge from the suitcase and search through the luggage of other passengers in order to steal valuable objects including electrical equipment, which he would then transfer to another suitcase.

Accused of raping his sister-in-law A MAN, 39, is on trial in Malaga accused of repeatedly raping his 14-year-old sister-in-law. He is charged with sexual assault and could face up to 14 years in prison, as well as having to pay €60,000 compensation to the victim. The prosecutor claims that the events took place between 2007 and 2009 when the minor spent weekends at her sister’s home in Cartama. When everyone was asleep, he allegedly got into the girl’s bed and, at other times, he approached her when they were alone, raping her on at least six occasions, despite her pushing and scratching him in an attempt to stop the attack. He allegedly told her that if she told anyone about it, he would say she wanted it and that no-one would believe her.

Marbella lawyers in Movistar class action LEXLAND, a firm of lawyers in Marbella, are to bring a class action for compensation on behalf of the thousands affected by the Movistar fire which left them without service for days. ON May 6, a fire broke out at the Movistar telephone exchange in Malaga and affected around 90,000 people.

In total, the blaze is thought to have affected 50,000 phone lines and broadband connections and some mobile phone connections across Malaga Province. For almost a week, thousands of homes, ATMs, businesses and even public utilities were without a telephone and internet line, harming their trade.

Some of those affected reportedly had to wait up to 12 days for reconnection. Movistar said they would be entitled to an average of €1 per day compensation. Consumer group FACUA described the compensation offer as ‘ridiculous’. www.movistarsinlinea.com

Caminito del Rey restoration gets go-ahead, again MALAGA Provincial Government has approved the project to restore the 3.5 kilometre ‘Caminito del Rey’ walkway over Los Gaitanes gorge in Ardales. The project, which should take until 2015 for completion, has a budget

of more than €9 million. The interim president of the provincial government, Salvador Pendon, said that the project is going ahead ‘slowly but surely’ as it is a very complex job. The project will be sent to the Junta de Andalucia Environmental Council to be put out for public tender. In December last year, Pendon announced that restoration works would start mid-2011, but work is yet to begin. The walkway is currently closed as it is extremely dangerous, and several climbers have fallen to their deaths in recent years.

Spain sued by treasure hunters over €355m ‘Black Swan’ rights By Jennifer Leighfield DEEP-SEA explorers Odyssey Marine Exploration is suing Spain over the ownership of 500,000 silver and gold coins. The disputed treasure, weighing 17 tons, was recovered from a sunken Spanish galleon. The Florida-based company has asked a federal appeals court to overturn an earlier ruling, which determined the treasure, estimated at €355m, belonged to Spain. They want the court to uphold the ‘finders keepers’ rule that would give the treasure hunters the right to keep silver coins, copper ingots, gold cufflinks and other artifacts salvaged off the coast of Portugal in May 2007.

In the last 10 years, the National Police and Guardia Civil have arrested around 100 people belonging to Italian mafias. Of these, 34 were ‘capos’ or highranking members, and at

least 24 leading ‘families’ were identified. “Germany is where the Italian mafias launder their money and is also a pickup point for Eastern European arms’ sales. Spain is the operating base for drugs arriving from South America,” explained a Europol liaison officer.

Alcaucin Town Hall. Insets: New Deputy Mayor Mario Blancke (top left) and Philip Smalley of SOHA (top right).

Council pledge on illegal build mess THE new government in Alcaucin has promised that the legalisation of illegally built homes in the town will be one of its main objectives. All those who voted for the two SOHA (Save Our Homes Axarquia) candidates in Alcaucin, Mario Blancke and Michael Stevenson, have made a real difference. Their party, Los Verdes, won two seats and now hold the balance of power. As a result, they have formed a coalition with the Partido Andalucista and the Partido Popular to throw the PSOE out of power for the first time in almost 30 years. The coalition’s biggest priority is the legalisation of houses. The new mayor, PP’s Domingo Lozano, has said

that they will also make sure that the town’s new General Plan for Urban Development (PGOU) is completed. The leader of Los Verdes, Mario Blancke, who will be second deputy mayor, blamed the ‘urban planning chaos’ in Alcaucin on the Junta de Andalucia, and announced that he will defend all those people who bought or built their homes in good faith, as they can’t be held responsible for the Junta ‘looking the other way’. Blancke commented: “There are many people who, in good faith and in compliance with all legal requirements, bought or built their home, and those people should not be made a victim of the

Man accused of beheading woman attacks nurse THE man who allegedly beheaded a 60-year-old British woman in Tenerife in May was moved to prison after attacking a nurse in a psychiatric unit. He was under sedation, tied to a bed and handcuffed, as well as being under the surveillance of a CCTV camera. Bulgarian Deyan Valentinov Deyanov, 28, was being held in the Hospital de la Candelaria since the murder of Jennifer Mills-Westley and

apparently lashed out at a nurse in his cell while two armed National Police officers were outside. Deyanov, a paranoid schizophrenic with a history of drug use who once threatened to kill his own six-year-old child, carried his victim’s head into the street after stabbing her 14 times and decapitating her in a shop. He was on bail for hitting a security guard in the face at the time. Deyanov’s family revealed he had stolen

from them, leaving his parents destitute. He had been released from a mental health hospital in the UK in October last year. In this case, he could be declared immune from prosecution and acquitted of the crime if it is proved he was experiencing a psychotic episode at the time of the killing. When he left the shop where he killed his victim, he was shouting ‘I am avenging God and have come to do justice’. Fifty metres further on, an Italian man hit him with a motorbike helmet, preventing him from escaping. Other witnesses confirmed he believed himself to be a prophet sent by God.

Spain’s Al Qaeda boss due for 2012 release By Staff Reporter ABU DAHDAH, Al Qaeda’s Spanish chief, allegedly belonged to an extremist, highly secret, jihadist sect. The 44-year-old Syrian with Spanish nationality, Abu Dahdah real name Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas - was imprisoned in Spain for 12 years but is due for release in 2012. His name appears on several US State Department files accessed by the Spanish national daily, El Pais. Yarkas was a member of Takfir Wal Hijra - it means Anathema and Exile - claimed Abu Anas, a

Jordanian prisoner who once worked in London for the fanatical cleric, Abu Qatada. Members of the faction, which originated in Egypt in 1969, are allowed to wear western clothes, drink and smoke. They can also eat pork, sell drugs and even steal in order to achieve their goal of blending in with those they regard as the enemy. Other supposed members of Takfir Wal Hijra were Mohammed Atta, who led the World Trade Centre bombing. Abu Qatada asked Yarkas to give money to another member of the Takfir Wal Hijra, the iman of the Al

Rahmed mosque in Alicante, according to Abu Anas in a statement dated May 15, 2005. Like Abu Anas, Yarkas had close links to the now imprisoned Abu Qatada and he, together with his Spanish wife Marisa and their children, always stayed with him whenever they visited London. Yarkas has in the past maintained that the terrorists responsible for bombing four Madrid commuter trains and killing 191 people, were Takfiris.But until now, at least, noone suspected that Abu Dahdah himself could be another.

Graduates hope for German jobs

INTERNET ACCESS ONLY 1 cent/minute

THREE leading German firms are this week interviewing Spanish engineering graduates who hope to find work outside Spain. The three companies expect to offer work to some 20 engineers, mainly in the telecommunications and industry fields. In two seminars organised by the German Chamber of Commerce, Spanish hopefuls in Madrid and Barcelona learnt what the companies required as well as the prospects and challenges awaiting them. Collaboration between Spanish and German employment services began in January through the EU’s ‘Eures’ network with the intention of recruiting qualified staff for health, engineering, teaching, tourism, and hotel and catering sectors. Spain has an overall unemployment rate of almost 21 per cent, and 44 per cent of those without jobs are under 25.

When Chancellor Angela Merkel said last January that Germany could find work for well-qualified young Spaniards, there was an overwhelming response from out-ofwork graduates. Germany should turn to a qualified foreign workforce as a source of wealth, said Philipp Rosler, Minister of Economics and Technology, last month. The government needed 140,000 science graduates, specifically in engineering and telecommunications to boost economic growth. As well as technical qualifications, candidates for the jobs currently on offer via the Madrid and Barcelona seminars must also have an intermediate level in German. Since Merkel’s offer at the beginning of the year, both the Instituto Goethe - the official German-language centre in Madrid and private colleges throughout Spain have noticed a massive rise in students.

Coca-Cola ‘invented’ in Valencia village in 1884 By Jennifer Leighfield AS the world’s most popular fizzy drink, Coca-Cola, celebrates its 125th anniversary, residents of a Valencia village claim it was invented in Spain. Official records show Coca Cola was invented in Atlanta (United States), but residents in Ayelo de Malferit (Valencia) claim it was invented there in 1884. One of the residents claims that his uncle invented the formula in 1884, and sold the patent to the US. In 1880, three friends from the town, Bautista Aparici, Ricardo Sanz and Enrique Ortiz, created a distillery ‘Destileria Ayelo’ which supplied the royal household and won several distinctions. It remains open today. The drink they produced, made from kola nut strain and coca leaves from Peru, had a taste and colour similar to Coca-Cola, and

serving nine cokes a day, out of a single soda shop in Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Spanish drink had been patented, but it was common practice at the time to only accept patents when the item had proved to be popular, and it wasn’t registered until 1903, almost 20 years after the US did so. Today, the world consumes 1.7 billion cokes a day, according to a CocaCola website and credit for their secret recipe goes to a pharmacist named John Pemberton. In the 1940s, Coke was trying to enter the Spanish market, but couldn’t because of trademark laws. They allegedly had to buy the ‘Cola Coca’ name from Destileria Ayelo first because of the similarity. Coke paid them the equivalent of about €1,100, a small fortune at the time, according to the current owner, Juan Jose Mica, but there is no paperwork to prove this in Ayelo or with The Coca-Cola Co. But the factory changed the name of its awardwinning drink from Cola Coca to Cola Nut Coca around that time and added alcohol. To this day, Juan Jose has a recipe book dated 1881 with their own ‘secret’ recipe handwritten in Valenciano. • Disney Some people believe Walt Disney was born in the Almeria village of Mojacar. The local business association ACEM is planning to erect a bronze statue in the town square to this effect.

Wedding of Eilidh and Christopher in Mijas.

Kilts in Mijas AN original and Scottish wedding was held last Friday in Mijas. Eilidh and Christopher made their vows at Mijas Town Hall at a beautiful sunflower theme civil wedding. The ceremony was carried out by Councillor Maria del Carmen Jimenez who stated she was honoured to host such an original wedding. The ceremony was translated into English by the Mijas Foreigners Department. The bride and her family fell in love with Mijas some years ago and have a holiday apartment in the municipality which they visit on a regular basis.

how his 16-year-old is doing in high school. The Andalucian Federation for the Defence of Effective Equality (FADIE) has presented a complaint on behalf of the man who claims he has waited three weeks for his daughter’s schoolteacher to speak to him on the phone, despite the fact he said he had no intention of going to see her, and only wanted to know the girl’s marks. At the end of the first term, the teacher saw him, but told him his daughter only wanted her mother, who has custody, to know the results. According to FADIE, this is ‘against the rules regulating parental separation, those of the school, as well as common sense and good practice.’ Last year, the girl also refused to tell her father how she was doing in school and he had to find out from another teacher.

Britons at top of expat age ranking By Business Editor, Brendan Small BRITISH residents Spain have the oldest average age compared to other European expatriates, and that’s official. The European top three oldest are Britons, at 50 years, followed by the Finnish (48.9) and Luxemburg nationals (47.7), respectively. This is revealed by a 2011 Secretary of State report, which also shows the number of foreigners legally residing in Spain (with EU residents’ certificate or foreign residents’ card) has broken the five million mark for the first time. While there are 63,004 British residents aged 64 or

above, there are only 13,810 aged 15 or below. But, taking all nationalities into account, expatriates from Switzerland (53.5) and Norway (52) are the oldest. There are expatriates from eight countries whose average age is below 30; six of them are in Africa. The ‘spring chickens’ are from Bangladesh, with an average age of just 25. In terms of numbers, with 861,586, there are more Romanian residents than any other nationality. They are also the youngest Europeans, with an average age of 32.1. After the Romanian’s come the British (226,553), Italians (171,578) and Bulgarians (164,639).

Spain limits bankers’ pay THE Spanish Council of Ministers has approved a Royal Decree on the equity of financial entities and a prudent approach to remuneration. The government’s intention is to avoid certain remuneration policies undermining the strength of financial entities and creating imbalance in the banking system. Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba explained that the Royal

Decree ‘contains a series of provisions to strengthen control over the financial system’. The pay received by bank executives is also regulated: “There used to be a system of remuneration that encouraged executives to speculate,” he said. The opposite is now the case. The Bank of Spain will be able to regulate the maximum amounts of pay received by top executives.

divorced is 29 years, five months, while the average divorce settlement cost them €375,750. And the average settlement cost for female bankers is €211,522, and they get

divorced for the first time aged 35 years, nine months. While 67.3 per cent of male bankers admitted to wanting custody of the dog, only 23.4 per cent wanted custody of the children from the marriage.

Tax return sent to man 20 years dead A DRAFT tax return was posted to a Madrid man who has been dead for 20 years. His son, a lawyer, says he is shocked because not only has the draft been sent, but also it is written in the regional dialect of Catalan, although it was sent from Madrid, where Castilian Spanish is the norm, and the family has never had any dealings in Cataluña where Catalan is spoken. To make matters worse, the dead man’s son has not received his own draft, despite having requested it. The Tax Office has called it an ‘unfortunate error’ probably due to a problem with identification, and claims that this type of mistake seldom occurs.

Employees need to be given a specific target to reach their goals.

Fantasizing about success doesn’t lead to attaining it THERE is no evidence to suggest that writing down one’s goals or asking one’s staff to do so does leads to them being achieved, studies show. Unrealistic optimists believe that success will happen to them, if they do lots of ‘visualising.’

Visualising success, instead of the steps needed to attain that success, only serves to drain the very

energy one needs to reach one’s goals, recent research has revealed. People who spend too much time fantasizing about a wonderful future do not have enough gas left in the tank to actually get there.

Permission to be mediocre Telling someone, or yourself, to just ‘do your best’ is believed to be a great motivator. It isn’t. It often encourages without putting on too much pressure. In reality, it is permission to be mediocre. It is essential that the employee is given a specific target. This is because it increases focus and commitment to one’s strategies. It will weed out the ‘I have done my best crowd’ to those willing to go the extra mile. An example would be a high-jumper who can see exactly how high he has to jump to clear the bar.

www.euroweeklynews.com ONE question we wealth managers often get asked is if there are any risk-free investments. I’m afraid the short answer is no, as all investment involves some degree of risk. Risk and reward go hand in hand in the investment world and you cannot have one without the other. Since different assets have different levels of risk, however, you can build an overall portfolio based on your risk tolerance, and there are steps you can take to manage investment risk. Many investors only think about whether they will actually make or lose money on their investments, and focus on price rises and declines, but you also need to consider whether you will make ‘real’ returns above inflation. You should not ignore inflation risk, the chance that your capital will decline in value as prices rise year after year. Even 2 per cent inflation will have a damaging effect over the longer term (10 years or more). For this reason, keeping all your savings in the bank is not a riskfree investment. True, the capital value will not decline, but there is a strong possibility that its spending power will. While £100,000 will buy you £100,000 worth of goods at today’s prices, if inflation was 2.5 per cent over the next five years, it would only buy you approximately £88,109 of goods in five years’ time and approximately £77,632 in 10 years. Let alone if your personal rate of inflation is more than 2.5 per cent.

The best of both worlds? Capital protected funds l by Bill Blevins, Financia Correspondent, Blevins Franks

While you will earn interest, once you deduct inflation and tax, you may find that you are actually earning a negative real rate of return. It is generally accepted that over the longer term equities provide the best opportunities to outpace inflation. Many people tend to weigh up whether to invest in equities or leave their money in cash. Equities have the potential to provide very attractive returns. Their potential for capital growth helps to protect against inflation and they can be ‘wrapped up’ in tax efficient structures. On the other hand, stockmarkets can be volatile and the capital invested is not protected. Looking at cash, the only returns offered are those provided by the interest rate, which can be low for long periods of time and always liable to tax, and, as discussed above, the capital value is likely to be eroded by inflation.

Of course, the answer is to look beyond equities to other investments like bond funds, property, real assets, commodities, etc, and to have a mix of assets in your portfolio including some cash. But there is a way of investing in the stockmarkets and at the same time protecting your capital from stockmarket volatility: capital protected funds. Like cash, in a capital protected fund your capital itself cannot decline (provided you hold the investment full-term), but in this case your capital has the opportunity to benefit from stockmarket rises, thus providing the potential to keep pace with inflation and, quite possibly, outpace it. Capital protected funds are therefore suitable for low-risk investors seeking the potential for improved returns above those available on cash deposit. This is achieved by providing returns linked to one or more major world stockmarket indices. So if, for example, the fund is linked to the FTSE 100 and offers a 100 per cent capital protection, then the fund provides the investor with 100 per cent minimum return of capital; 100 per cent capital security and potential returns

from the UK equity market. Note that if prices rise, the return will be probably be lower than if you had invested directly into UK shares or funds, but in return for this compromise you have the peace of mind of knowing that if UK share prices fall your original capital will not be affected – it will be retuned to you in full when the investment matures. Payment of capital and investment returns is dependent on the guarantor of the structured product meeting its obligations, so it is important to identity the guarantor. A ‘too big to fail’ bank is likely to be suitable, given that should they fail, the potential of their respective governments bailing them out is greater than for smaller banks (however, this cannot be guaranteed). Another point to consider is that these investments are for a set term, usually a number of years, and, while you can often fully or partially encash them, this may affect the capital protection and returns will be subject to market conditions at the time (one must also take into consideration the fact that early encashment would likely lead to a loss of capital). You would need to check the terms of your

particular fund. So you would need to be reasonably confident that you would not need access to the capital during the investment term. These investments do not provide any income either (any returns are paid out at the end of the investment term), so if you are looking for income you would need to consider alternate investments such as a bond fund, which pays regular interest as well as providing the opportunity for capital growth (though in this case the capital value can fall as well as rise). Capital protected products can also be used for securing investment profits. These funds are not necessarily suitable for everyone and, as with all investment decisions, you need to consider your personal circumstances, objectives and the other assets you already own. A wealth manager like Blevins Franks would review your situation, portfolio and risk profile before making recommendations on what would be suitable for you.

Don’t let the sun set on bagging a bargain RECESSION or no recession, savings or no savings, it’s the time of year when many people are thinking about getting away for a summer break. It can be guaranteed that even those who are hanging on to their job by a thread are more than likely flicking through glossy brochures, because a summer holiday isn’t a luxury, it’s a right… Right? But if you’re savvy - and that’s internet savvy - a summer getaway need not break the bank. With the help of the worldwide web, a great summer holiday can be snatched up for a reasonable price, but you need to know where to look. My parents tend to book accommodation via the phone, by sending an email directly to the hotel or through a holiday shop. All of which tends to rip

them off and charge over and above the price they should actually be paying. Whereas my boyfriend, who flies all over the world, always manages to book a swanky room for next to nothing. Why? Because he knows where and how to look for deals on the net. One of the favourites is expedia.com. From flights to hotels, car hire and more, simply fill in your details and let expedia find the best price at the destination you want.

Lastminute.com is another gem. The website offers all-inclusive deals, restaurant bargains, car hire and train tickets, as well as top-notch hotel stays at a fraction of their ‘normal’ price. Look out for the ‘Top Secret Hotel’ offers, where a mystery four or five-star hotel will offer a super special rate. But, there’s a catch; the name of the hotel will only be revealed after you have booked. And, finally, to ensure you’re getting the best value for money, check out tripadvisor.com. This website, through the real comments guests leave, is a great way to gauge whether a hotel is worth it or not. After all, once you’ve managed to save a few pennies on your holiday, you’re less likely to choke on the price of that Sundowner on the beach.

When you’re in a hole, stop digging AS the heads of most households know, you cannot borrow your way out of a debt. When you’re in a hole, stop digging. It would seem that the finance ministers of Europe have yet to learn the A-B-C of fiscal prudence. One gets the feeling that they are caught up in a maelstrom of financial complexities far beyond their understanding and cannot see the wood for the trees. It is claimed that this country or that country is a basket case. The truth is that if any country is bankrupt it is unlikely to be linked to its own failings. The collapse is largely due to it being caught up in the global banking system’s tentacles. I believe the responsibility for the failed system is underregulated banking practices, not the country. There are many examples of nations freeing themselves from banking ‘cartels’ and going on to achieve prosperity in a very short time. Iraq and Libya come to mind. Equally, there are nations ruined by ‘the unseen hand’. During the early 1920s, Louis Marshall, the American corporate and constitutional lawyer, told of a conversation he had with one of Wall Street’s must influential lawyers: “When taking leave of the famous lawyer, he showed me that part of

n my view with

Paul Polke New York that could be seen from his Wall Street window, and told me: ‘Look what we can do for a country we love. In Russia we have shown the world what we can do for a country we hate’.” Perhaps because they stick to basic economics, ordinary people seem better able to grasp financial prudence than do politicians. Demonstrations, like those taking place in Spain, suggest that banks and governments are held equally to account. The danger here is self-evident. Politicians buying time by going cap in hand to the International Monetary Fund or European Central Bank may be swept along by popular sentiment. If public indignation is directed at the banks, the consequences for Europe could be far-reaching. Europe’s radical right see austerity and hardship as the grasping fingers of international usury; they sense their star is rising and their time is coming. With just a few exceptions, the UK being one of them, xenophobia and national isolationism are becoming more appealing; the values of Eurozone membership

are increasingly questioned. Member nations of the EU signed up to the euro, or shortly to do so, are beginning to wonder if they want to be a part of it. Should any nation become dependent upon IOUs printed by banking cartels, it becomes a colony and its population become debt and interest slaves. It is a treadmill you get off only through revolution. From Finland to the Black Sea, the unthinkable is emerging phoenix-like from the ashes. The blame is being heaped upon discredited banking systems. You see a bank standing on the corner: visionaries and revolutionaries see the banker’s armed soldier in a pinstriped uniform. “The State is not a plantation where the interests of foreign capital are supreme. Capital is not the master of the State, but its servant. Therefore, the State must not be brought into dependence on international loan capital. “And, if anyone believes that cannot be avoided, then do not let him be surprised that no one is ready to give his life for this State. “Further, that greatest injustice (international loan capital) must be corrected which today still weighs heavily upon our people and upon almost all peoples.” Those words were spoken by Adolf Hitler on April 20, 1923. We all know how that story ended.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

To default or not to default? AS the markets focus once again on Greece’s ability to repay its debt, pop-up in both Spanish and Italian yields a couple of weeks ago caught the markets by surprise. This posed the question: Could Spain be the next bailout candidate? Spain has always been the canary in the coalmine and if it ever sought a bailout no type of rescue package would be big enough to save it, and it’s likely the euro would have no further value as a currency. Spain is fairly unique as it’s governed by 17 autonomous communities alongside a decentralized government. Each one of these has its own budget and the market’s concern is that central government still does not have a true handle on the debt exposure of these 17 communities. The ‘hidden debt’ problem first popped up in Catalonia after elections last autumn resulted in Catalan nationalists unseating a Socialist-led coalition. In December, the central finance ministry said the region’s debt-toregional-GDP ratio was 1.7 per cent as of the third quarter. The old government later disclosed the fullyear deficit could be as high as 3.3 per cent. Spain has made great efforts in cutting its deficit to 9.3 per cent of GDP; however, much of this has come from centralized government cuts. The huge glut of unsold homes and the billions in bad property loans still lie on the balance sheets of mainly provincial banks that have yet to fully disclose their liabilities. Spain has a challenge ahead of it. Greece should take a haircut on 50 per cent of

its debt obligations and look to rebuild. But the risk of contagion would be far too great and this would spread to Portugal, Ireland, and even Spain. German banks would be forced to write off billions of euros and it would send the global economy back to the dark ages. The solution the euro politicians have come up with is the term debt reprofiling. Put simply, it would allow a country to roll over its debt obligations for a period of maybe 35 years. This would get round a technical default, which itself could trigger a wave of CDO claims as debt insurance would be triggered. It’s clear the indebted southern nations can no longer devalue their currency, do not possess anything like the levels of growth needed to repay their debt and have reached levels of austerity that are no longer effective. Sterling will remain under pressure as the UK economy looks like its hitting some turbulence as the consumer responds to the government’s tough austerity measures. It’s highly unlikely the Bank of England will hike rates in 2011 and the pound along with the dollar and euro will still be viewed as the Three Ugly Sisters by the currency markets.

sharp corners of blenders, juicers and kettles. Meanwhile, scientists at another company, Qinetiq, are developing flexible crockery that can be bent into a plate, bowl or cup. It uses ‘shape memory alloys’ developed for the military.

New inventions are designed to fit with predicted kitchens of the future which could have devices such as a fridge that suggests meals based on its contents, hologram chefs to guide cooks, and control panels which can be activated remotely. Talking about inventions, did you know how some came about? For instance, that women’s corsets led to the invention of the modern umbrella? Or that the hovercraft emerged from an empty cat-food tin?

Or that the microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar in his pocket melted? But, in the not too distant future, do you think there’ll ever be an invention to cure men of snoring or leaving dirty socks anywhere but the laundry basket? No, I didn’t think so either…

CARME CHACON, Spain’s Defence Minister, and possibly the best candidate to steer the devalued socialists through next year’s general elections, withdrew from the PSOE primaries. Clever woman: she can bide her time while whoever wins the next election gets defeated by cuts and crises. If, as Harold Wilson once said, a week is a long time in politics, a legislature can be a short one.

A case of supply and demand

Hacked off CYBER attacks could be classified by the Pentagon as acts of war, allowing retaliatory military strikes against hackers backed by ‘hostile foreign powers’. If it cuts both ways, would Iran be entitled to launch an attack against whoever unleashed the Stuxnet virus on computers at its nuclear sites? Will Gary McKinnon end up in Guantanamo?

THE food supply system needs overhauling warned Oxfam, which predicted social unrest for the future as staples become scarcer and more expensive. If that unrest should occur, then every other system - political, economic and social - would need overhauling, too. Something is globally wrong when one half of the world faces death through obesity and the other half through malnutrition. Especially when millions already starve as crops are turned into biofuels so the affluent are spared the bother of walking.

Elderly kidnapper POLICE in South Africa are searching for an elderly woman who allegedly persuades young men at a shopping centre to help carry heavy bags to her car, then kidnaps them from the car park and robs them.

On-the-beat ban COMMUNIST Vietnam has banned police officers from wearing sunglasses, smoking and putting their

hands in their pockets while on duty. Also banned are reading books and making personal phone calls.

Cobra train scare HUNDREDS of rail passengers fled in terror when dozens of deadly cobras and king cobras were found on a train travelling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi in Vietnam. The smuggler was able to escape.

pride. However, even I am getting sick to death of all this judging panel speculation. Since X Factor came off air in December, there hasn’t been a week gone by without newspapers or magazines guessing who the next judges are going to be. It’s been driving me insane and now I’m even writing about it, adding more column inches to the ridiculous pile already in existence. Simon Cowell and Chezza Cole went to the US to be the judges on the American X Factor, which left vacancies in the UK judging panel. Maybe I’m bitter because I didn’t get asked to replace Danni or Cheryl. Look at my CV – thought Westlife were going to be one of the biggest boy bands so I made my dad [Chris Tarrant] play them every morning on his radio show. And, as you might know, they had more consecutive number one singles than the Beatles. All of which shows my good ear for music and my love for Irishmen. I’ve been a radio presenter at a small station in the UK, and I think I’d be a great judge. Well, actually looking at that gig, no wonder I didn’t get the call! This year’s line-up consists of Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland, and the girl from N-Dubz. Is this year going to be as good as the rest? It just doesn’t seem the same, does it? No Simon, no Cheryl, no Danni! At least if one of them was still there it would be worth tuning in for. It seems the UK has run out of talent; have you caught Britain’s Got Talent? Some of the acts are just awful! So, at this moment in time, I feel like throwing in my X Factor T-shirt. Unless Johnny from the Costa del Sol gets through: that would change everything!

I suspect that many other communities have the same problem and I was wondering if someone out there could let me know how they solved the problem. One idea of mine was to take away the swimming pool facilities. Each household should perhaps have a magnetic strip card for access to the pool gate, which would only be renewable for those up-to-date with their payments. Name withheld upon request Editor’s note: If no agreement can be made with the debtor to make-up payments, then following the whole community’s agreement, the president or administrator may claim the debt in the town’s Court of First Instance and in extreme cases seek to have the property sold at auction to recover unpaid charges.

€2,000 difference MY wife’s rich relative in Switzerland recently sent CHF150,000 (€122,910) to each of her six nieces and nephews. We were surprised to find out that our bank in Spain had charged us a huge amount for the transfer.

THE hoopoe bird is a colourful visitor to Spain at this time of year. This one is nesting with chicks in the roof of a house near La Cala de Mijas (Malaga). Salmon pink and with black and white wings and tail plus a large erectile crest, the hoopoe is additionally recognisable by its curved beak. Its name is derived from its cry and there are two species, with one migrating annually from the Middle East (where Mrs Jacques once lived).

BEING such healthconscious members of the human race, I am sure Mr Kennedy would not allow his body to be baked in the sun. As far as I am aware, there are no corners in the open air so I politely suggest he return to his ‘non-smoking nest’ and wait for the winter months to arrive. Roland D Backer, by email

Fresh air WHEN outside in the fresh air, surely the problem is not the same as inside in an enclosed area? Breezes will blow the smoke away, along with car exhaust fumes, the smell of other people’s food, which may not be to your taste, and other less

salubrious odours which often emanate from both smokers and nonsmokers alike! Christine Whitelock, Denia

Disagree I, TOO, am a non-smoker, but I cannot agree with his comments. In the winter, nonsmokers remained snug and warm inside, but now the warmer weather is here Mr Kennedy wants his cake and to eat it too! Now he wants the terraces for non-smokers, and for smokers to be banished to ‘outside corners’ or ‘back areas’. He complained about ashtrays full of stubs, but surely that is a problem for the management to ensure they are emptied regularly? R G Waugh, Fuengirola

Costa del Sol average ‘man in the street’ thinks that benefit fraud is a massive problem and consumes many with a pathological hatred for the perpetrators of such fraud. While I dislike such fraud, I think that the UK government is using the current onslaught against benefit cheats as a smokescreen to cover benefit cuts. It is unjust and dishonest to blame these claimants for a crisis that was created by the financial institutions and the ‘free market system’. Jack Johnson, by email

€116,860.27 had been credited to our account; a difference of more than €2,000. In future, I will make a point of going to several banks and getting them to make an offer and have them explain how they will handle such a transfer before any payments are dispatched. Name withheld upon request

READERS REACT TO THE RECENT ‘UP IN SMOKE’ LETTER FROM CRAIG KENNEDY

Healthy view

9 - 15 June 2011

A choice OUTSIDE is not the chosen domain of smokers. In the winter, my friends and I stay in the warm while our spouses are banished to the cold outside. In the summer, we all sit out together, but if it is too hot, us non-smokers have the option of going inside to the air-con. Ian Boothroyd, Quesada

Find a corner WELL, Mr Kennedy, I suggest you either stay in the bar/restaurant or find a corner outside and label it ‘the anti-smoking area’. Moira Bartle, Caleta De Velez

Better idea I DOUBT bar owners would agree with Mr

Kennedy’s suggestions. A better idea might be that nonsmokers stay outside in the fresh air in the winter and smokers have the aircon in the summer. Mick and Hazel, Benidorm

When in Spain NOW that it is nice to sit outside, Mr Kennedy wants smokers to be pushed out of the way in some forgotten corner. I wonder what he would want if the bar was full and he had to sit in that corner. Does he not realise he is living in a country where a large amount of people still smoke? If he was to look around, he would discover the majority of them are Spanish; I assume he includes them in their own country. Helen Ward, Almeria

I BELIEVE there is a strong likelihood that Ireland’s consular service could be downgraded five levels to ‘junk’ status. Dealing with the Madrid Embassy and their Alicante consulate has been a lesson in frustration and futility. Destined for a 12-week business trip starting in June, I thought renewing my passport on March 23 allowed plenty of time and even enclosed a note saying I would need it for the trip. Ten weeks later and with hours to go, I am still waiting; emails and letters are ignored and phone calls are futile. If these functionaries are symptomatic of Ireland’s governing apparatus then the mess they are in is not at all surprising. Dermot Michael McLaughlin Editor’s note: A consulate official contacted about the allegations said: “The appropriate information on the process and timeframe for passport renewal was fully communicated in this case. Both the Honorary Consulate in Alicante and the Embassy in Madrid have been in regular contact with this Irish citizen. He was advised on 23 May that the passport was available for collection and was given more than one option as to how he wished to receive the passport.

Gibraltar talk MY letter (Issue 1347), seems to have aroused so much spleen from so many readers, yet at no time did I put in doubt the sovereignty of Gibraltar. My aim was to explain that the Spanish autonomic provinces of Ceuta and Melilla existed before the creation of the state of Morocco, which means that effectively Morocco has no claim whatsoever over these territories. High-powered motor boats leave their safe haven in Gibraltar, pick up the drugs off the Moroccan coast and deliver them to pre-arranged dropping zones along the Spanish coastline before returning at high speed to their Gibraltarean sanctuary. When chased by the Guardia Civil, they are then protected by the Gibraltar authorities as their boats are now empty, making them ‘law abiding’ citizens. Jonathan Anthony Allso, Valencia

Human rights gone mad: You couldn’t make it up

Criminals are being released because they have a family.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT promised to clear out all this PC and ’uman rights BS actually going to step in and do something? Surely it can’t be that difficult. Just close them all

down. Oh, sorry, I forgot, that would probably infringe their human rights. I despair of it all. Oh, and while we’re about it, what about the case of Philip Machemedze? This sadistic thug was a torturer in Robert Mugabe’s regime. He is alleged to have smashed a man’s jaw before pulling out his teeth with pliers. He whipped a woman before pouring salt in the wounds and

participated in the ‘slow’ killing of a political rival. Then he fell out with his unsavoury boss. Where is he now? Yes, you’ve guessed it. Living in the UK with his wife, at British taxpayers’ expense. A judge ruled that he could stay in the country because if he returned to Zimbabwe he could be tortured himself (shame!) and it would therefore infringe his human rights to send him back. I actually Google’d this story and discovered this is no isolated case. There are scores of thugs and murderers living in the UK because they may receive some form of retribution should they return to their own countries. Britain even gives sanctuary to people who have committed terrorist acts against the UK itself. No wonder the British are the laughing stock of the world. For heaven’s sake, get a grip, Dave. If you don’t, I forecast a positive deluge of support for the BNP in the next election. People really are heartily sick of it all. Keep the faith, Love Leapy Leapylee.co.uk

LETTERS TO LEAPY

WELL, just when you think you’ve seen everything, up pops something even more unbelievable. Human rights do-gooders have finally topped all their past efforts in spades. The decision this week in Britain to release a prisoner from jail because it ‘contradicted the human rights of his family’, truly does take the whole tin. If this almost unimaginable practice is allowed to continue, it could mean releasing hundreds of prisoners, simply because they have a family. One of the reasons many potential criminals stay on the straight and narrow is because they are fearful of what will happen to their families if they go to jail. If this ruling is allowed to flourish, it will encourage aspiring criminals to break the law, knowing they will get off lightly BECAUSE they have a family. Is that ludicrous or what? When is this British government who, at the beginning of their tenure,

LEAPY’S observations on the world’s oil situation (Issue 1349) missed the mark. Our reliance on the fossil fuel engine is the fault of governments and car manufacturers as they rely on the revenue petrol generates. It is possible to produce butane gas from waste, but nothing has been done to develop this. George Morland

MR WHITEOAK (Letters to Leapy, Issue 1350); I know what a burka looks like, having lived in Pakistan. It is not a mask or camouflage, but a form of female dress worn for religious reasons. It could be used to disguise a male as a female, but if asked to reveal their identity, they will. Bill Campbell Letters for Leapy should be emailed to yoursay@euroweeklynews.com

Weird creatures WHILE many search the universe for signs of alien life, many creatures here on earth could be right out of a sci-fi movie. The hopping pancake batfish is one of 10 ‘new species’ to have made it onto a list of weird and wonderful creatures. Discovered in the Gulf of Mexico, it is said to look like a pancake, crossed with a fish, and a bat, with arms, and it hops. A new species of orb-weaver spider found in Madagascar is able to weave webs large enough to span rivers and lakes. Also on the list is a 6ft-long fruit-eating lizard, a jumping cockroach, a cricket which is the only pollinator of a rare orchid and a glowing tree fungus.

Metal beans that keep drinks warm COFFEE JOULIES are metal beans that cool down beverages to a drinkable temperature faster, and then maintains that temperature for longer than usual. It can be kept warm for up to five hours, if the hot beverage is in a Thermos flask. In a standard kitchen mug Coffee Joulies only keeps the

drink at optimum temperature for a few minutes longer. They do this by absorbing extra thermal energy in the drink when it is too hot. Then that stored energy is released back into the drink to keep it at an optimum temperature.

Time Out

A story of purity and desire in the 16th century THIS book is inspired by Browning’s poem ‘My Last Duchess’. In the poem the duke shows an emissary a painting of his former duchess. The emissary is pressing the suit of the next duchess at this time of dynastically arranged marriages. The duke narrates how his former wife was loved by all and sundry for her easy-going charm, then comes the chilling line: “I gave commands; and all smiles stopped together.” GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Partnerships see you leap ahead on something that was a bit stuck in the mud. A leap in your bank balance follows. Some quick decisions may be called for so it is better to share responsibilities, whatever the outcome. You have a chance to show just how clever you can be, but do it because it gives you personal satisfaction rather than to impress.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After a hectic start to the week, things seem to have slowed down. Look carefully at what has happened, but remember that there is no point in worrying over something that you cannot change. Sitting tight and waiting for this period to pass could be the best solution. Certainly, it will prove less stressful than fighting a losing corner.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Money is good and this can make you over-confident. Beware bank managers offering loans in large amounts. Nothing is for free and you need to look carefully at interest rates right now. Another, more personal, investment also needs looking at right now. Are things going exactly the way you want them to?

BOOKS Kimm imagines the story behind this brief outline. The duke is Alfonso d’Este of Ferrara in the 16th century. He marries Lucrezia de’Medici, the 16-year-old daughter of a

Y our S tars

neighbouring ally. Naturally, the marriage is arranged. But Lucrezia welcomes the match with the older, darkly handsome and intellectual duke. Although Lucrezia arouses Alfonso’s passion, he is unable to consummate the marriage. He has no problems with his mistress

but Lucrezia’s purity seems to nullify his desire. But when Alfonso employs Fra Pandolf, a famous painter, to paint a mural, Lucrezia’s loveless life changes. This is not just a love story; the complicated balance between 16th century city states and the pope is part of the plot. Alfonso’s lack of an heir could cause him to lose his territory, so he must take steps to rectify the situation.

Johnny Depp,

Born June 9, 1963, he is an American actor and musician. Depp and his long-time girlfriend Vanessa Paradis grow grapes and have wine-making facilities in their vineyard in Plan-de-laTour north of Saint-Tropez. Together with Sean Penn, John Malkovich and Mick Hucknall, he co-owned a Parisian restaurant called Man Ray, located near the Champs-Élysées.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)

Aim a bit higher than usual and you may be surprised at your success. When seeing the bigger picture, you realise that it is not so daunting after all. If one person can do it, then so can another. It is a matter of how you approach it. What you have to ask yourself this week is why you should accept the minimum when the maximum is so close by.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)

This should be a great time for your finances. Any glitch is likely to be because you have overspent. Even if things still need close

attention, you can win if you concentrate. A bit of plotting and planning can work wonders at the moment. Most of your big expenses are behind you and if you can just tighten that belt a wee bit more.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Although things seem fine, this is not a time to overstretch your finances. Spending a lot this week without thought is problematic later. This is a week of shifting and changing and that certainly means your finances. The other area is your social circle, where people come and go, sometimes without warning.

IF ITʼS YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Possibly you did not imagine how active this year would be. You are already needing to pull in the reins. Be careful what you wish for because this year wishes could come true.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is not a particularly lucky week for you, so I would certainly advise caution. Gambling is not recommended. Being clever with money is as much about not spending it as about how you spend it. .

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Look at the long-term picture when considering money matters. What seems like a good deal now may not be so a few years down the line. Someone who appears to be telling a lie may simply have either misunderstood or have the wrong information.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

SU DOKU

This is a time to consider finances and keep your options open. Someone who tries to get a fast decision out of you by pushing you into a corner is doing you no favours. You will decide what (if anything) needs to be done when you are good and ready.

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

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Keep things simple. Getting involved in other people's problems is not for you at the moment. It may be necessary to delay a decision to give yourself time to think. Could you manage a few days away somewhere? Maybe you could stay with a friend or relative. You need some peace and quiet on your own.

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Although things are going pretty well, there are some things that could be just a little better organised. The time and money that this saves could be small, but it's the ongoing positive attitude that counts. There have been times recently when you have wondered if your progress on a certain matter would ever start up again.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is better if you don't get involved in any high profile, high risk business deals. Success is definitely not assured. This is a time for financial consolidation. Count your pennies and see the pounds collecting in the future. On a cold winterʼs night it can give a pleasant glow to realise that your action during the summer is keeping you warm.

Avalon’s swallows save cash If you plan on returning to the UK or even spending time in both the UK and Spain, Avalon’s Dual Certification service is ideal for saving you money on unnecessary separate coverage.

DOESN’T it appear odd how people often consider buying health, life and car insurance as part of what they need to protect family and loved ones but can ignore the financial and emotional consequences of dying here in Spain? With funeral costs now in excess of €4,000, doesn’t it make sense to plan ahead for the inevitable and relax in the knowledge that your funeral is in safe hands now and well into the future with Avalon? The recession has sparked a boom in prepaid funeral plans as growing numbers of people are increasingly disillusioned with poor savings rates from bank accounts. They opt to invest money in a funeral plan to ensure their families have peace of mind at a time of great emotional distress. Whilst banks are providing miserly returns of around 3 per cent, Funeral Inflation is accelerating at more than 10 per cent each and every year. This makes funeral provision a potentially expensive consideration; the longer you leave planning it, the more costly it becomes. So... if leaving money in a bank is not such a good idea, what options could

be taken? Avalon takes away the risk of costly increases in funeral expenses by fixing the price to members at the time a plan is purchased. This effectively ‘stops the clock’ leaving our customers with valuable savings for other enjoyable uses!

Ava lon take s awa y the risk of cost ly incr ease s in fune ral exp ense s by fixin g the pric e to mem bers at the time of purc hase . This effe ctiv ely ‘sto ps the cloc k’ leav ing our cust ome rs with valu able savings to use for other enjoyable acti vitie s These ‘Fixed Price Plans’ represent remarkable value for money for two very important reasons... Funeral directors’ costs increase by 10 per cent and in Spain they are the first creditor of your estate, meaning that they can effectively charge what they want. Current bank returns are miserly and are no match against a funeral bill. Avalon, as market leaders in this vital service,

offer a range of prepaid funeral plans to cater for all requirements.

While women are sexually drawn to ‘strong silent’ men, men are more attracted to ‘happy smiling’ women.

Men should look proud while women look happy DESPITE male-female equality making strides in the past century, it seems that instinctive attraction is still in an evolutionary time-warp. Women tend to prefer men who look proud and powerful, or moody and ashamed, over those who smile. Conversely, men are more attracted to happy looking women and less attracted to those who appear proud and confident. “While showing a happy face is considered essential to friendly social interactions, including those involving sexual attraction, few studies have actually examined whether a smile is in fact attractive,” said lead researcher Professor Jessica Tracy. More than 1,000 adult participants in the University of British Columbia study rated the sexual attractiveness of hundreds of images

of the opposite sex. “This study explored first impressions of sexual attraction to images of the opposite sex,” explained study co-author Alec Beall. “We were not asking participants if they thought these targets would make a good boyfriend or wife; we wanted their gut reactions on carnal, sexual attraction.” Evolutionary theories suggest that females are attracted to proud males because they imply status, competence and the ability as a provider. “Pride expression also accentuates typically masculine physical features including upper body size and muscularity,” said Beall. Smiling has been associated with a lack of dominance in previous research, which is consistent with oldfashioned gender norms of the ‘submissive and vulnerable’ women.

Be confident to beat stress HIGH self-esteem could help dampen the body’s stress response, a recent study revealed. People with high selfesteem were found to have the opposite of the ‘fight or flight’ stress response which can cause so much wear on the body. Loving one’s self is the key. This can be achieved in a number of ways. Repeating mantras including, ‘I am good enough, I am

smart enough’. Keep a journal or diary and write down positive qualities and good deeds done. Spending lots of time with supportive friends and family, and weeding out negative relationships. Women who ate cereal for breakfast every morning were found to have greater self-esteem than those who started their day with a muffin, despite having the same number of calories.

Write down positive qualities and good deeds.

A Cosy Nook on Carihuela beach

By Bryan Rand THE last time that I ate at Cosy Nook on the Carihuela was when I tried their Sunday lunch in the winter. Now that Paul and Kay have sold the restaurant, I thought that I would try the food under the new ownership. To be honest, I saw no difference in the quality, quantity or variety of the food. This is probably because the chefs have remained

unchanged and are still producing excellent meals to the old standards. Angie started our meal with a homemade paté and I chose the garlic bread with cheese. The paté was of a coarser type and was very tasty; the portion was more than adequate. My starter was smothered in a mature cheddar cheese, very tasty but far too big a portion as a starter. As was previously the case, the menu still features homemade dishes wherever possible, and states that ‘if they say it’s homemade then it is’. A variety of different crepes have now been added to the menu. Our main courses arrived, homemade steak pie for Angie and braised steak for me. The pastry had a lovely light texture and both meats were cooked to perfection.

EWN 65

We were served with a boat of extra gravy - a nice touch and three vegetables: carrots, cauliflower and cabbage. The food was extremely tasty and portions more than adequate. Angie couldn’t handle a dessert but I managed to leave room for chocolate fudge cake, which was huge and came with ice cream. Altogether, a very pleasing meal in pleasant surroundings; the view from the restaurant across the beach with the waves curling on to the sand is a most relaxing experience. There is adequate parking (except in August) two minutes walk from the restaurant. Cosy Nook Seafront, Playa de la Carihuela (Torremolinos) Tel: 952 058 590

Shanti-Som: Yoga retreat hotel and restaurant I WAS honoured to attend and conduct the auction for Esther Wish List’s latest charity luncheon to raise funds for Casa Abril in San Roque. The venue was the Shanti-Som, the newest Yoga retreat and hotel situated in Monda, a stark contrast to what the children who have found refuge at Casa Abril have had to endure during their short lives as a result of violent domestic abuse. These thoughts flooded through my mind as we pulled up along the long driveway into Shanti-Som. An immediate feeling of well-being flooded over us; the place is truly spectacular and breathtaking, and no attention to detail has been spared. This was a fairytale setting for what was to be a memorable afternoon of fine food and drink, and, of course, fundraising. The Champagne reception commenced at 12.30pm to welcome the 140 guests, and the theme of the day was harmony, peace and love. During the reception we were treated to an amazing display of Bollywood dancers; a great start to the afternoon. Then it was time for lunch, created by one of my favourite chefs, Ben Hayes. We started off with Gazpacho with Manchego cheese and black pepper cracker and basil foam. Gazpacho is often the boring option, but not when Ben Hayes creates it. It was lively, tasty and interesting. I noticed everyone finished their’s off; a good accolade. Next up was fragrant Malaysian chicken with coconut rice. This was a brilliant choice.

The ‘big society’ is the best in the boating world I MENTIONED a while ago that when you take up this beautiful sport, you’ll find a whole new band of mates who will help you out at any cost. Remember? Good pals, putting paid to the old notion: ‘A friend in need is a pain in the… neck!’ Over the past few weeks, this has really hit home. The boating community, sail or steam, has a joie de vivre and community spirit second to none. I’ll explain. Many of us are preparing for the summer, which means getting boats all trimmed up, in some cases getting boats put into the water at the marina and, in other cases, moving a boat from one marina to another. I recently had to go to head office at my marina. A short time into the visit, a neighbour of mine from a couple of places up the jetty entered the fray, asking me to do a bit of translation for him. So, instead of heading home where I was expected, I sat with him until all the relevant questions were answered to his satisfaction. The next week, I was asked

to pop on down to the dry dock with my pal to organise his boat being lifted off its cradle, having been transported from the UK, to be antifouled and re-rigged. Then sort out a mooring. Likewise, later on that week, I arranged for a boat to be plopped into the agua. Recently, a sailor friend of ours repaired the electrics on our anenometer (wind gauge) and generally helped out with all the

wiring. Another mate put all the name transfers on to my boat, ‘Karena’. You see the trend developing here, ladies and gentlemen? Unlike other stuff in life, when it comes to your shipmates, it’s a question of when can you help, rather than if you can help. It’s a fabulous community of like-minded souls. We don’t expect medals or phoney pats on the back. That’s not why we do these things; we help each other to the point of exhaustion because when you’re out at sea and sometimes the chips are down we’d move hell and high water for each other. It’s the spirit of the mariner. The Esprit de Corps. And that’s what makes boating such a cool world. A place of unbridled camaraderie, where fingernails are worn to the quick with eternal back- scratching!! Thanks for all your emails. I’m working on a date in August for us all to get together, if that’s OK? What a lovely lot you are! Tight sails to you all and I’ll see you next week.

Are your property community fees clearly unfair? ACCORDING to the Law of Horizontal Property the expenses of a community are to be shared among the owners according to their individual quotas or percentage share. The quota is basically calculated according to the proportion of the building or urbanization that each owner owns. These percentages or quota coefficients of all the properties in the community when added up must come to 100 per cent and are usually referred to in Spanish as the ‘cuota’. This is how your community fees are usually calculated. So for example, in an apartment block of 10 equally size apartments there would be 10 equal ‘cuotas’ each of 10 per cent. Each owner would therefore be responsible for a 10 per cent share of the running costs. In a perfect world that is. The specific individual quota coefficients are usually established by the original developer as the then single owner of the property, or urbanization, and later just accepted as those to be used for the individual title deeds for the

Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor and Property Administrator for Intercala Administration

www.intercala.com with Pete Woodall

houses or apartments. Quotas are not necessarily based on percentage size alone, they take into account other factors as well. Article 5, The Law of Horizontal Property in part, says that; ‘the quota coefficients will take into account, the useful surface of each house or local in relation to the total of the property, their interior or external location, their situation and the reasonable use that can be made of the services or common facilities.’ Clearly quite a few variables there to be played around with, in fact it is not difficult to find a community in which two properties of exactly the same size and characteristics have different quotas or a large apartment that pays a lower quota than a smaller one, often such inconsistencies go unnoticed and unchallenged. The problem arises when the community fees derived from the coefficients are deemed to be inappropriate or just downright unfair and a change is sought. The Law of Horizontal Property Article 9 paragraph ‘e’: ‘the owner of a property within a community will be obliged to contribute to the general expense of proper maintenance of the property, its services, taxes, charges and any responsibilities which have not been specifically allotted to an individual. According to the quota determined in the title deed or to what has otherwise been specially determined.’ To change a quota established in the title

deeds, it would be necessary for one of two things to happen - either the unanimous consent of the community or a ruling from a court judge. In most cases just forget about getting that unanimous consent, simply because the people who pay less now will probably not be willing to pay more later so the only way to resolve the problem is by starting a court procedure to obtain a judge’s ruling that changes the way the expenses are shared. No matter how unfair a quota may seem it would be pointless to stop payment of your fees for that reason alone as the quota coefficients and consequently the fees would remain the same until the community unanimously decided or a judge decided differently.

HE third in our A to Z of Axarquia villages is Alfarnatejo, situated on The Route of Olive Oil and Mountains. The natives are called Alfarnateños and the town’s nickname is Palancos. Alfarnatejo is 50 kilometres from Malaga and 42 kilometres from the coast at Torre del Mar. The easiest route is to take the road between Rio Gordo and Periana and then turn left just before Mondron, driving through Pulgarín and up towards the fresh, clean mountain air at an altitude of 858 metres, where eagles and hawks fly circles in the sky beneath the so called Pyrenees of the south. The scenery is stunning and dramatic as the lower green mountains appear insignificant against the majestic Mount Chamizo and El Gallo both a mere 1.637 metres high. As remote as these mountains seem man’s presence has been here since the Neolithic era with archaeological remains found in the Sabar River gorges and the caves of Chamizo Morronquera in the Tajos de Vil,o where Paleolithic drawings can be seen in the Cortijo de la Cueva. On entering the village one immediately steps back in time to when motorised transport was still unimagined and mules and goats mingled with humans in the flat wide

www.euroweeklynews.com ON your normal daily drive to work, the unexpected happens. Depending on the accident that occurred, you might be even more damaged than your vehicle. To negotiate on your pain and suffering the first step is to gather together all of your medical bills. These will be your weapon. The best way to build up your ‘war chest’ is to get all of your medical evidence of your injuries. Ask your doctor to keep detailed notes of your aches and pains so that they are officially documented. If you need to visit a chiropractor for neck or back problems, make sure you get a doctor’s recommendation when you go so that there is a direct

Suffering an accident. How to get a fair compensation? line drawn between your automobile injuries and the visits to the chiropractor, or any other type of specialists. Along with this, keep a list of any medications prescribed to you by any doctor that treated you for your injuries. The medications you had to use for pain relieve or inflammation should help convince the adjuster that there is compensation due for pain and suffering.

Pain and suffering is felt and not usually seen by the naked eye. What you can do to document your medical issues is to take pictures of any of the bodily injuries that are visible. Take pictures of cuts, bruises, or marks on you. If you also have swelling of your arm, leg or elsewhere photograph that as well. Take the photos up close and from a few feet away and close up so that the area of harm can be easily seen. Simply multiplying your medical bills will not yield an accurate number. You could have an injury

with medical bills of € 2,000 but the pain and suffering be worth much more than three or even four times that value. For example, a 15-yearold girl that suffers a cut in her face, leaving a scar from her eye to her chin. Medical bills for stitches and cleaning the wound might not be very much, but the psychological injury of growing up with such injury could be worth much more. Pain and suffering is subjective and determined most often by lawyers and a judge during a trial. Insurance pays only for

medical bills and repair of physical damage to your car. If you are looking for other reimbursement, you will need to speak with an attorney. Now, let’s take a look at the real world where no one and nothing is the same. The following changes may each, or in combination with other changes, have an impact, sometimes a significant impact, on the amount each person will be awarded for pain and suffering. • Job and income • Different ages

• Different community and lifestyle • Different attorney • Where the case is filed • Attitude/witness quality • Pre-existing injury • Medical Treatment All of these factors, create a picture for the jury and the insurance company that will have an impact on the compensation for pain and suffering in one way or another. Your experienced personal injury attorney will know how to assess the value of your pain and suffering and what factors to include.

Aquariums in new places IT has long been proven that watching aquarium fish has many health benefits including lowering blood pressure, stress and anxiety. For these reasons businesses including hospitals and dentists have an aquarium in their reception or waiting room. Any waiting room becomes instantly more inviting, welcoming and

attractive to visitors. In a doctor’s clinic for example a peaceful atmosphere helps to ease a patient’s apprehension therefore making them more relaxed, calmer and occupied as they wait their turn. People are always amazed when they find out the effects that fish, particularly watching them, have on humans.

Aquariums are used in doctors waiting rooms and also in schools. Many people nowadays have stressful lives, high blood pressure, and even insomnia. Keeping an aquarium can be great therapy for those problems. Schools are also reaping the benefits of aquariums through knowledge and hands-on teaching as well as visual stimulation. Younger children can enjoy creative assignments such as observing and drawing the fish as well as learning the basics of caring for them.

The Fish Factory in Cancelada, Estepona, is home to all things aquatic. As well as having a huge selection of tropical, freshwater and brackish fish, we stock all the latest pumps, filters, food, medication and accessories. Visit our website: www.thefishfactoryspain. com, or come and see us at Calle Guadalmansa 3, Cancelada, Estepona. Telephone: 952 884 953.

Need new headlights

in Spain? MANY people who decide to get their UK registered cars re-registered on to Spanish plates are often put off by the cost. In addition, there is the complication of the process, and some decide not to go ahead in getting their car fully legal in Spain. If the car is right-hand drive, you will probably have to have the headlights replaced for EU left-hand drive specification units to ensure EU legislation compliance for the strenuous Spanish ITV reregistration test. The cost of replacing those headlights can often sway people to think again about doing the ‘right thing’ and getting their car legal to drive in Spain throughout the year. But the same rules don’t apply everywhere in Spain, as, in other provinces, UK right-hand drive cars are allowed to use the stick-on deflectors to pass the reregistration ITV test. So, be prepared to be shocked when a price is offered for changing the headlights. It can differ widely depending on the make and model of the car. Once the car has Spanish number plates fitted, there are several positive effects. The main one being that you are now totally legal to drive your car in Spain. Your car will be worth more, too. But it also has a beneficial emotional side, as it cuts down the stress and worry when coming across yet another police roadblock ahead. You’ll be saying to yourself: “It’s great to be fully legal,” as you greet the police officer with a genuine smile!

Matt Neal continues out in front amid crash controversy MATT NEAL continues to lead the title race in the British Touring Car Championship as the daunting Croft circuit is up next on June 19. Gordon Shedden, Jason Plato and Mat Jackson shared the wins in three action-packed Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship races at a damp Oulton Park circuit in Cheshire. However, Neal still leads the way despite a highly controversial last corner, last lap clash with teammate Shedden in the second race that put them

both off the track as they fought for the victory. Scottish ace Shedden had achieved his second straight pole position in Saturday’s qualifying session and, on a damp track, duly took victory in the first of today’s races ahead of the Silverline Chevrolet Cruzes of Jason Plato and his young Cumbrian team-mate Alex MacDowall. In race two Shedden was on course for another win but at the final bend the chasing Neal attempted to pass him. To the disbelief of the huge

trackside crowd their Honda Racing Team Civics dramatically made contact and together slithered off into the gravel trap. This gifted Oxford’s Plato victory ahead of Robert Collard’s WSR BMW and Newport Pagnell driver James Nash’s 888 Racing with Collins Contractors Vauxhall Vectra – although their positions were later reversed by officials who decided Hampshireman Collard had been overly robust in overtaking Nash. In race three, Jackson led every lap from the reversed grid pole to win in

his Airwaves Racing Ford Focus. Shedden followed in second ahead of Staffordshire youngster Andrew Jordan’s Pirtek Racing Vauxhall Vectra.

Lorenzo finished 2.403 seconds behind, with Lorenzo’s American teammate Ben Spies finishing third, 4.291 seconds off the pace, for his first podium of the season.
