Mercenary denials

s we go to press, a gunboat built in Britain for the Omani navy and now owned by a former Royal Navy officer remains under guard in Tenerife as the authorities continue their checks on its background and status.

Now known as ‘Defender’, the 127foot fast patrol boat initially docked in Los Cristianos after blowing a gasket in the Atlantic. The authorities here ordered it to be diverted to a secure spot in Santa Cruz under escort by an armed Spanish navy vessel and several checks have been carried out since to establish whether the two cannons on board are in working order. It is believed the former warship has been re-registered as a pleasure boat by its new owner, ex-RN lieutenant Chris Enmarsh, who has denied media claims that he and his crew are mercenaries. The boat remains in Santa Cruz under 24-hour surveillance and well away from the port’s cruise ship area.

or the first time ever, on May 26, the volunteer fire brigade of Adeje will be having an open day and welcoming all-comers into their fire station. True to their natures, this first day will be in aid of others; the disadvantaged in Adeje will benefit, hopefully, from over a thousand kilos of food. From 11am onwards you can have a tour of the station, there’s a bouncy castle for children and, in exchange for a kilo of dried food, you will be given a mini-kebab and a cold soft drink or beer. The fun will go on until around 5pm and in the late afternoon there is a giant paella. If you forget to go shopping, drinks and ‘pinchos’ will be on sale. Members of the brigade will give you a guided tour of the installations, including all the fire-engines, the living / waiting areas, control room and the ‘cage’ - a rather

overawing and claustrophobic space where they train for finding victims of fires in full kit and in the dark. They will also explain how they work and how they fund themselves. Be sure to take along a camera as you will be able to try the helmets, jackets and other pieces of equipment on. It’s sure to be a fun day for all ages and definitely one for the diary. Be there and help them achieve their target of at least 1,500 kilos of food to be donated to the Adeje Social Services Department for those in need in the borough.

Disabled desperation

The warning has been issued by the Tenerife Disabled Platform, an umbrella associa-

tion for various bodies that are supposed to be funded by the regional authorities to provide care and other ser vices to young and old persons with disabilities. “The continuous lies and failures on the part of the government risk putting these people in a very difficult situation. They will be forced to stay at home at all times” said Raul Cordero, spokesperson for the Platform, whose member

n estimated 2,000 people with disabilities in Tenerife may soon find themselves without regular assistance if the government does not pay the many help groups that provide a range of vital services to them.

Calls for container refund scheme

Green returns

cologists here and in Germany have joined forces to press for a more efficient returnable container system to be introduced to ease the mountains of rubbish in landfills. Members of several leading green associations have received the backing of influential German group Deutsche Umwelthilfe in their campaign to have vending-type machines installed to encourage people to return bottles, tins and cartons in exchange for a small refund. Under the system, which is popular in Germany, a levy of around €0.20 is charged for ever y product sold in such containers but the buyer can obtain a refund by depositing the containers in a machine

groups have not received the funding they were promised and are on the verge of shutting their doors for good. “We have to pay our staff but don’t have a single euro to do so” added the spokesperson. The case has been taken up by the opposition Popular Party (PP) here, which says the government is “deliberately dismantling” all the good care work put in place in recent years.

or taking them back to the retailer directly. The scheme has achieved a return rate of over 90 per cent in Germany and other environment-conscience countries, much higher than the current recycling rate for containers in the Canaries (around 15 per cent). One of the Spanish ecology groups, Global Nature, says the Canarian authorities have done little

beyond promises to implement the scheme. Spokesman Eduardo de Miguel said the group had written to the regional government repeatedly to ask what steps had been taken to put into practice the unanimous agreement adopted by the regional Parliament back in February to study the feasibility of the refund system here.

More worryingly, an estimated 118,000 households across the islands do not have earned income of any kind, thus increasing the pressure on the authorities with decreasing budgets to help provide basic needs. The news has resulted in calls to end austerity politics and switch to job-creating measures.

The on-off story of the planned link road connecting Tenerife’s two motorways has taken another turn. Local media reports state that the cash-strapped Canarian government is now prepared to borrow €15 million to complete sections of the dual carriageway planned between Adeje and Santiago del Teide and kick start the project after more delays. Senior members of the regional government and the island’s Cabildo joined the mayors of towns in south Tenerife to express their support for the project, which they say has been held up by infrastructure budget cuts ordered by Madrid.

Legal changes

Residence certificates As we go to press we are still trying to confirm the rumoured changes in residence certificate requirements. If there were to be changes to the residency rules, we would have expected to be notified by the British Embassy as they have kept us informed of other legal changes affecting residents such as prescription charges. Initially we were referred to their website where no mention of renovation is made and on further enquiry we were told, “The British Consulate cannot officially confirm or deny any of this information as we don’t own it. For clarification you should approach the appropriate authorities”. The Spanish Ministry for the Interior website was also lacking in information and we are waiting for clarification from Spanish authorities here.

Transport

Soaring air fares

A new survey by the regional government’s Tourism Observatory shows that average fares from Britain have risen most steeply over the last year, with increases on some routes over 50 per cent. According to the study, average prices for a return ticket from UK airports now stand at €359 compared to €238 during the first quarter of 2012. Routes to Gran Canaria have been worst hit by the rises. Flights from Germany and mainland Spain have also increased in price although significantly less than from Britain, the survey shows.

Education

News in Brief >>

New schools

Industrial action

Education strike

A nationwide strike in schools and universities has been called for May 9. National bodies representing teachers, students and parents have reached an agreement to stage a massive day of protest against the ongoing cutbacks and the planned reform of the Education Act. The strike will be the first ever to affect all levels of public sector education, from nursery schools to universities, on the same day. Most facilities for the younger members of the

outh Tenerife will benefit most from plans to build a total of 15 new schools in the Canaries under a private-public partnership scheme which is certain to draw criticism. family will have emergency ‘child sitting’ measures in place even if they will not have the capacity to actually do any teaching on that day. However, working parents in particular are advised to check with schools to avoid unpleasant surprises on the day.

Rather than get itself heavier into debt, the regional government is to ask private firms to invest in the building of the schools in return for lucrative contracts to run services such as cleaning, catering and

Summer schools row

The decision to keep many schools open during the summer holidays, largely as a way of ensuring disadvantaged children receive at least one proper meal during the day, has triggered a bitter row over who will be responsible for operating and financing the new system.

security over 20 years. Five of the schools will be built in fast-growing parts of Tenerife (Arico, Adeje, San Miguel de Abona, Arona and Candelaria) and the other nine will be distributed among the other islands, with the exception of La Gomera. Authorisation for the unusual scheme has still to be given formally by Madrid but the Department of Education is confident it will be allowed to proceed with the tender and have the schools ready within a few years.

Exploration dispute

Trying to feed the children

What was supposed to be a well-meaning initiative to help needy families during the summer is turning out to be something of a political minefield.

Taste of coffee

naries are refusing to foot the bill for the extra services required in premises which come under their jurisdiction, as is the case of most of the schools selected for the summer opening programme. It is expected that around 8,000 youngsters from families where neither parent is in employment would benefit from the scheme. Previously the very profile of the beneficiaries had drawn fire in certain quarters, with some arguing that there is no need for provision to be arranged for the children if their parents are at home to look after them, whereas families with working parents must pay to have their children enrolled in summer activities or courses.

Visitors will be able to see the plants and preparation process and try the produce

A new study of the employment prospects shows that far from creating the “thousands of jobs” claimed by oil giant Repsol, an offshore oil industry in the waters off Lanzarote and Fuerteventura would be no more important than an average-sized hotel in terms of employment for the community. “Many of the jobs would be low-skilled and temporary” argues the government in the study, which it says adds further solid reasons -in addition to the main environmental concerns- to block the plans.

April 27 saw the first organised CoffeeWalk take place in the area around the coastal town, where coffee has been produced for many years and is a thriving, although little-

The local agriculture authorities say visitors should be made more aware of the importance of what they say is “the only purely European coffee” and they have enlisted the help of coffee farmers for the guided visits, which include on site tasting. It is expected that further tours will be organised throughout the year.

Thomas Cook has revealed that the Airbus will be used not just for its normal holiday flights to dozens of countries but also to carry the Belgian football side for all its away games for the next year.

Beach weddings

Several of Gran Canaria’s most popular beaches will be able to offer wedding ceremonies as an added attraction if plans by the council in San Bartolomé de Tirajana are approved. Local officials say they are close to obtaining government approval to allow couples to tie the knot and hold their wedding receptions on beaches such as San Agustín and Meloneras. The prospect has delighted the tourist industry,

which believes the weddings could make Gran Canaria a serious competitor for exotic destinations which have attracted wedding tourism for many years. According to spokesman Tom Smulders, “beach weddings are in great demand among Europeans but their potential has not been explored properly here due to red-tape issues”. The council expects formal approval from the Spanish government’s Department of Coasts within two months.

Strange as it may seem, a popular food billed as probably the most Canarian dish of all is made almost entirely from cereals imported from as far away as Canada. Tenerife daily La Opinión reports that the hugely popular ‘gofio’ toasted flour which is regularly, for example, added to soups or taken on its own with milk as a cereal by many youngsters, can no longer be considered authentic Canarian gastronomy even though its origins date back to preHispanic times, when the Guanches (native populations) used barley and the stems of certain ferns to make the finely ground flour-meal. Designated a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) not so long ago, around 3,000 tons of Canarian Gofio are consumed every year here, but it appears that only around five per cent of the cereal grain used to make it are local, with the rest imported from Canada, Argentina, Germany and France, among other countries. Flour mills say they have no choice but to import given the steep decline in cereal farming in recent years and the high demand for the product among Canarians and visitors to the islands.

ot for the first time, other islands have been beaten to the draw on a new initiative.

Canarian gastronomy

Las Palmas Council has won its battle to overturn a court order banning the holding of big Carnival events in the city’s flagship Santa Catalina Park. The ban was imposed by the regional High Court, which upheld a complaint by local residents at the noise and nuisance generated by the several weeks of revelry that take place every February/March. However, Spain’s Supreme Court has now decided that the original complaint referred to a very specific activity in a concrete location (the food and drink stalls on the boulevard next to the Park) and the prohibition had wrongly extended this to include the entire Park. The news has been warmly welcomed by the Council, which was forced to shift several key Carnival events elsewhere while the appeal was under consideration. “We have won our Carnival back at last and justice has been done even if it has taken a long time” said a source.

The two men put up six valuable pre-Hispanic artefacts for sale in early April but the ads caught the attention of the island’s Civil Guard and officers duped them into thinking they were about to make a sale.

his announcement has been an annual event since the year 2000, when the helicopter that the island had had since nineteen ninety-five was withdrawn, for reasons that were never made clear. Curbelo says, “We won‘t give up with our continued requests to both regional and national governments. They have to listen to us this time. It‘s common sense to prevent fire, rather than suffer the consequences of a delayed response when fire-fighting aircraft have to be sent in from outside. “Footing the bill for a massive firefighting presence to come from outside when everything’s got out of control makes absolutely no sense”. Indeed. Neither is it logical to send away already assembled outside help in the middle of a serious fire, apparently in order to go on holiday, and then have them all come back again after really serious damage has been done, but Our Leader has somehow emerged unscathed from his action and sensibly confines himself to the helicopter issue. To add weight to the helicopter argument, the Cabildo has facilitated information about the - wait for it - 996 fires suffered on the island between 1983 and 2012. 995 of these fires were started intentionally, revealing an obvious issue which needs addressing. Why do the islanders of La Gomera apparently feel such a need to destroy their island? Bear in mind that they are not alone. Quick research after last year‘s dreadful fire here revealed that 86 per cent of fires everywhere on the planet are intentionally started. Furthermore, a high percentage of them are started by exactly those who we may imagine to be least inclined to light them: firefighters, of both the employed and unemployed variety. Leaving aside the case

La Gomera‘s Cabildo president, Casimiro Curbelo, has announced his renewed intention to procure a helicopter for the island.

tentionally started fires is also an ancient one. The Spanish conquerors commented on “this unfortunate habit” of the islanders over 500 years ago. “The native custom of using fire does not confine itself to clearing land for agriculture. They, at every turn, will set afire forest and meadow to vex us”, lamented the hated Peraza the Elder in La Gomera, in 1482. On the island, there is still a widely acknowledged, if not accepted, awareness that fires will be lit in certain places, at certain points of the year. People also reckon they know who’s guilty, but small communities are tight, despite routine infighting, and nobody would dream of naming names, though last year’s fire has taxed this collusion to its limits. The dates of these now traditional fires often coincide with early summer fiestas, which in turn coincide with the start of summer, guess what, fire-watch contracts which are a hotly - excuse the pun-contended source of local employment.

of employed fire-fighters, whose motives can only be guessed at, apart from the obvious one of drumming up a bit of action to justify their continued employment, a cursory look at why unemployed fire-fighters start fires reveals that they primarily do it to protest at their unemployed status by, ironically, highlighting the vulnerability of areas they destroy. In the USA, for exam-

Perhaps a little something in the DNA is also responsible on this island which was never entirely subjugated by conquerors, unlike the rest of the islands.

ple, two unemployed firemen, caught with cans of petrol at the scene of their former work depot last summer, purported to be “despondent at their loss of income”, when they were made redundant and, in their defence proffered the incredible, “they would have needed us if all this forest (they were in ancient redwood national park in Northern California) had burnt. This is a

very sensitive and volatile area, especially in such dry conditions. More firefighters are essential. It makes no sense to lay us off with such high fire alert conditions in force.” This is an example of a convoluted logic that hopefully won’t catch on elsewhere in these days of high unemployment. In La Gomera‘s case, as in most of the Canary Islands, the problem of in-

Benjamín, for example, obviously had his own agenda. At the age of 93, which is how old he was when he managed to start blazes at three different sites on one afternoon, his chances of a summer job were surely minimal to start with, so some older grudge must have been niggling him. It would be comforting to suppose that since fires have always been lit and nobody has died in one since the tragedy of 1984, when victims were caught by a change in the wind and died, we could, albeit regrettably, afford to let the practice continue, but there are important differences now that make the helicopter an absolute necessity and an end to the practice of fire-lighting essential. One difference is in its infancy, but potentially important. Climatic conditions are changing and, although there have always been drier and wetter cycles, last year’s drought had all the islands in tinder-dry state. There were fires all over the Canaries and, with such extremes at least “likely” to continue, starting fires has to stop. Schools and colleges need to make fledgling fireraisers aware of the dangers and criminality of the practice. The other, very important, difference is that today’s islanders are prevented from using local knowledge to fight the fires they start. This came as a shock to everyone last year, when Guardia Civil not only forced householders to evacuate, but imposed fines of €600 on anyone found trying to fight fires themselves. La Gomera is the only forested island without its own helicopter and Curbelo’s campaign to get one requires all our support, despite the low esteem in which he seems to be generally now held.

Scottish pair guilty

Baby holiday death

Scottish couple have been found guilty of causing the death of their 16-month baby by allowing him access to a lethal mix of drugs during a holiday in Tenerife. Robert Cormack and Corinna Reid were convicted of involuntary manslaughter by the jury after

a trial which lasted much longer than the originally scheduled three days, due to a series of technical and other hitches. The pair were found to have been negligent in allowing their son Aden, aged 16 months, to take a lethal mixture of methadone and an anti-depres-

sant (diazepam) which caused his death in a Playa Paraíso hotel in January 2007. The baby’s death was originally thought to have been from natural causes but the defendants were later extradited back to Tenerife after toxicology studies revealed high concentrations of the drugs in

They recently fitted out a youngsters’ football team in Arona with a complete strip of shirts, shorts and socks which has enabled them to join and play in a league. Lions President Norman Goodall M.B.E. announced, “This is encouraging work; helping young people become involved and interested in sporting activities and thereby becoming more health conscious by avoiding alcohol and smoking.

Shell blast For those who’ve never heard it the sound of the bucio being blown is haunting and unforgettable. It is a kind of conch shell which has been opened up carefully at the sharp end so that it can be used as an instrument. The native dwellers of the islands used it in rituals, for communication across the difficult terrain and in battle as a warning or a rallying cry. The sound of the bucio sang out across Icod towards the end of April during their Resonar del Bucio celebration. The event is from the Noches de San Juan (from San Juan de la Rambla), a commemoration organised by icodense Ricardo González, and brings together bucio players from several Tenerife boroughs.

Las Vistas

New legislation

Asset reporting impact

he impact of the new asset repor ting requirement on foreigners living here has received coverage in local daily Diario de Avisos, which has tried to estimate the possible consequences for the island’s large British community. As has been widely publicised in English-language papers and forums in recent months, tax residents in Spain owning properties and holding bank accounts and shares abroad had until 30 April to submit full details of all the assets to the Spanish tax authorities, provided the value of each category exceeded €50,000. The Diario de Avisos contacted tax officials to find out how the process had gone and also enlisted the help of Ten-

erife-based financial expert Paul Montague from Blevins Franks to obtain an idea of the numbers of Britons affected by the controversial obligation. According to Montague, the requirement is seen as “very intrusive” by Britons, many of whom have spent sleepless nights ensuring they filled in the forms correctly to avoid the massive fines applicable for breaches of the new rule. “The whole thing was rushed and people should have been given more time. I had clients who had to fly back to Britain to get their deeds to be able to fill in the boxes concerning the date of purchase of UK property owned. One old

person was worried at not knowing exactly the date she opened her bank account back in 1947 but the information was needed for the all-important form” said Montague. The month of April proved hectic for his office, which dealt with an average of 15 enquiries every day from Britons concerned at the implications of the reporting requirement. “Many have decided to spend less time here as of now so as not to be deemed tax resident and that means less business for bars, restaurants and shops in the areas where they have their holiday homes” Montague told the Diario de Avisos, adding that he “doubted that Hacienda had the resources to process all the information received” during the last few weeks.

he sunbed row that has hit the Las Vistas beach in Los Cristianos shows no sign of abating. Just days after massive public pressure forced Arona council to take down newly-erected signs ordering people not hiring sunbeds to keep out of the reserved section of the public beach, it has emerged that the company awarded the contract to provide the beds and umbrellas may be cashing in more than it should. The contract, which brings in approximately €1.3 million for Arona in return for the exclusive right to operate the service, allows the firm to place a maximum of 1,200 sunbeds, with a reserved space of eight square metres for each to ensure hirers have privacy

to sunbathe. However, the opposition Popular Party (PP) in Arona says a spot check carried out some weeks ago in the presence of a notary showed that the limit had been exceeded by nearly 25 per cent. “Not only is the

firm hiring out more sunbeds than it is legally allowed to, but it has not paid the full amount of the fee to the council” says the PP, which is demanding answers to what it describes as “serious irregularities” at Las Vistas.

fter watching how many of the local residents, Canarian and foreigners alike, have been struggling due to the crisis, a young English woman decided she would like to help out. Maria Beásley has been resident in Tenerife for the last 14 years and has close friendships in the community with many of those who are hardest hit by the economic downturn. For example, many with young families are finding it hard to cope in these difficult times and Maria found this particularly distressing. So it was that, after watching many of her friends struggling to afford anything but the absolute necessities, she set her mind to finding what she could do to help. Maria soon realised she indeed had something to offer, something very practical and which could provide a way via which people of limited means could enjoy a slightly higher quality of life. She began to gather nearly-new, secondhand and end of line products from near and afar. She soon found herself with a stock of useful and

EDITION 694 :: 03/05/2013 - 16/05/2013 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

Maria and Chiki

Everything for house and home

Second wave

Sometimes, some people do something just because it is right: pure and simple. good quality items which she would be able to sell-on inexpensively to help out her local community. This wasn’t the only force driving Maria though. Her much loved sister, Angela, had very recently died of a brain tumour at only 40 years old and that had spurred Maria into action, making her want to do something to help others even more.

Her first shop, opened on the first anniversary of Angela’s death, was in an Adeje suburb and soon became extremely popular. After a successful 14 months it became evident that Maria needed somewhere bigger and, after carefully looking around, she chose the site for her new premises

There are plenty of toys for young ones

in a wonderfully central area in the same town. Her new Segunda Ola shop is situated at the top of Calle Manuel Bello Ramos, next to the Ninfas Infantil and Juvenil shop and bang opposite the recycling bins, something which Maria finds highly appropriate. After all, that is what the reuse of secondhand goods is all about. When we no longer want or need our furniture or clothes etc., it is a terrible shame to simply throw them away, especially when there is plenty of life in them and they could prove useful for many a year yet. This recycling mentality is a very British thing and something that has slowly, over the last 10 years

or so, seeped into the society here. There has always been the practice of leaving useful items next to the bins, of course. This allowed anyone who passed by during the day the chance of grabbing a fine freebie, but it also meant that these things were only around for a few hours before being carted off by the bin men. With the upsurge of charity and second hand shops it has become a much more organised affair and many a person is now looking with a different eye at items they would not previously have considered worthy to pass on to others, never mind how possibly useful. So, whilst some of the goods in Maria’s shop are donated, the majority of them Maria has bought. She offers a fair price for all useful goods and will even pick them up. This, consequently, doubles the positive effect on the community: those wishing to make a few pennies have somewhere to take their goods, and those in need of something can buy it at a reasonable price. Maria won’t buy just anything of course, as she insists that everything

in the shop is good quality, but she will make a genuine effort to help when needed. She will also buy to order so customers can let her know of an item they need and she will do her best to find an example at the best price for them. Accordingly, to walk into La Segunda Ola is to enter an eclectic emporium of bargains. You will find everything from sofas, chairs and chests of drawers, to clothes, lamps, shoes and even designer wear. There is a particular emphasis on children’s clothes and toys. In times of crisis parents can struggle to feed and clothe several youngsters, as well as sometimes being plagued with guilt at not being able to provide all the treats they would wish to bestow on their offspring. So a large section of the shop is dedicated to babies and children. First there is rack after rack of excellent clothes; many of them still in their original wrappers from where Maria has been able to snap up closing down stock, for example. This is particularly useful as, let’s face it,

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 694 :: 03/05/2013 - 16/05/2013

SpecialFeature

The shop has a fine mix of goods

Baby wear galore

babies and small children can get through an inordinate amount of clothes as they swiftly grow out of each piece. There are also plenty of toys and accessories such as prams, cots and car seats. But it’s not only about the buying and selling. Maria’s shop has developed into something akin to a local social centre. Everyone is welcome to drop in for a chat, a cut of tea and to pass the time of day. There is a play area for children, complete with mini cinema, so they have plenty to do while their parents pass half an

hour or so in friendly conversation. Mums are welcome to feed babies and change nappies, and Maria also has in store a supply of small goodies so each child usually receives a little treat - she just can’t help herself. Even dogs are welcome: Maria has her own, very friendly and cute, four legged friend and neither Maria nor Chiki mind if others want to come and visit. However, don’t let that make it sound like it’s an unorganised free for all: the shop is spotless and, because Maria is so open and friendly, that garners the kind of respect that means

A fashion show will be next

visitors treat the space well. One of Maria’s future projects is to organise a fashion show in her premises – all with secondhand clothes of course: yet another way of showing how it can not only often mean good quality, but fashionable and fun too.

Visit La Segunda Ola at Calle Manuel Bello Ramos, 38B, Adeje. Monday to Friday 10.30am – 2pm and 4.30pm – 8pm. Call Maria on 679 523 707 for more information.

By Vera Liprandi Lawyer with De Cotta Law

Making a will

member is that prevention is not only better than cure in this situation it is also less costly than cure.

Inheritance News from De Cotta Law Intestacy – dying without a valid will

Valid wills The Spanish notarial system provides more security for those who make a valid will. This is because there is a Central Wills Registry where each notarial will is registered by the notary. The original will is always kept on the Protocol (archive) of the notary where you sign the will. The information at the Central Wills Registry will be the date and place where you made the will; your full name and date of birth and the names of your parents will assist with identifying you. A valid English will must be witnessed by two witnesses who are physically present when you sign. These witnesses should not stand to benefit from your will or be family members. However although wills can be registered in England there is no obligation to do so and most wills are kept at home or with the local solicitor in

England who prepared them for you.

Leaving Spanish assets in a will It is always advisable to execute a valid Spanish will before a notary if you own Spanish assets. The reason this is important is that property does not generally pass to your surviving spouse automatically in Spain. In the UK you can generally notify the Land Registry, the banks etc to transfer property into your sole name and in some cases where the estate is not of a high value no other formalities are required. If these are required an application can be made for Letters of Administration on Intestacy. This is very different in Spain as the property passes independently to your

appointed heirs and there is a procedure required to prove who should receive it. Spanish law applies the law of your nationality to your estate. Therefore if you die leaving Spanish assets and have not made a valid will in either country your heirs need to prove firstly the law that should be applied on intestacy and secondly that they are entitled to inherit. This applies to your spouse even though you may be joint owners of the assets. For some time we have been advising British nationals in Spain that it is wise to state the law you wish to be applied to your estate. While it would be difficult to overturn the application of your national law to your estate in wills made with this clause there will be added certainty in 2014. This is when the European legislation changes to state that you can elect the law to be applied to your succession and that this will be binding. The important thing to re-

Linea Directa Traffic legislation Línea Directa reports on new legislation for paying fines On March 4 this year, new legislation governing the payment of fines for traffic offences was introduced in Spain. According to the new law, drafted and passed by the Spanish Directorate-General of Traffic (Dirección General de Tráfico) and the Ministry of the Interior, the payment

of traffic fines in cash will no longer be accepted, and only payment by debit or credit card will be allowed. The authorities have cited security and economic efficiency as the reasons behind their decision due to the fact that once this new measure has been introduced; the risks and expenses involved with transporting money, will no longer exist. According to the DGT, the measure will only apply to

the payment of fines. All the other administrative operations carried out at Provincial Traffic Headquarters, such as processing or renewing a driving licence, can still be

paid for in cash. In order to make the payment, drivers must access the DGT webpage, www. dgt.es, or call the number 060. Although Provincial Headquarters will no longer accept payments in cash, drivers can still pay their fines in cash at any post office or Banco Santander branch. In this case, drivers will still be required to provide and attach the fine reference number.

Protecting your savings S

ince the Cyprus banking actions hit the headlines in March, we have been getting many enquiries from people concerned about the safety of their bank deposits. Under an EU Directive, all European countries have a guarantee scheme to refund bank depositors up to €100,000 should a bank fail. In Spain we have the Fondo de Garantía de Depósitos. If you have savings above €100,000 the excess may be lost, though you may receive additional funds following any distribution of assets as part of the insolvency process. In Cyprus the situation is a little different. The initial

plan to tax even accounts under €100,000 was thankfully rejected, and European leaders have since emphasised that savings under €100,000 should always be protected. However, deposits over €100,000 in the country’s two largest banks will suffer heavy losses, quite possibly 50 per cent or even more! Those who lost money in the Icelandic banking collapse in 2008 learned this lesson the hard way, but for many other people the threat had receded. You know it can happen, but do not really expect it to. The Cyprus disaster is a stark reminder that it can. So what can you do to protect your savings? Remember that cash is not a ‘risk free’ asset. Besides the possibility of institutional failure (what has effectively happened in Cyprus), interest rates have

been at historic lows for years and inflation has been eroding the value of bank deposits. The UK action group, Save our Savers, calculated that since the Sterling base rate was cut to 0.5 per cent, UK savers have lost £220 billion

through reduced interest and the effects of inflation. This, they say, is an extraordinary cut of 20 per cent of the entire value of cash savings. I would advise against keeping more than €100,000 in

Cash is not a ‘risk free’ asset one banking group. Note that the compensation limit in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man is lower at £50,000, and they have a cap on the amount they will pay out. It has always been very important to diversify your investable capital over different assets. This reduces risk. You need to think of the cash as an investment asset in the same way as shares, bonds and property, and have suitable diversification to spread the risk. Finally, when you deposit money in the bank it forms part of the bank’s balance sheet. Seek advice on alternative arrangements where you can ‘ring-fence’

your assets from the institution holding them, so that if it fails, your money is protected. As always, your investment decisions, whether to invest in shares, cash, or anything else, should be based on your personal objectives, circumstances, time horizon and risk tolerance. Speak to an experienced wealth manager like Blevins Franks to get tailored advice, on the best asset allocation for you and as well as on asset protection.

School airport visit

t was organised as part of the Friendly Tourism campaign to teach schoolchildren the value of tourism to the island, to show them where their friends and family work and the job opportunities available to them in the future if we look after our tourists. This is a more technical visit than others we have accompanied them on in previous years, beginning with a brief introduction and a video. Then it was off to the apron and onto a bus to have the various parts of a plane explained, the same with one of the sea-rescue helicopters and then away on a visit of the boundaries of the airport, with a general explanation of how it worked including a close of up a landing and take-off.

e n r y P u r c e l l ’s delightful opera has been adapted for children and is sure to appeal to all the family. The Fairy Queen, written in1692, is a masque, or semiopera: an English 17th century music genre that combines the spoken word with song and dance. The score was based on William Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

It is based in the world of the fairies and tells the story of the two lovers Hermia and Lysander. As Hermia’s father, Egeus, is opposed to their union, the couple flees to the fairy wood in Athens, pursued by Helena and Demetrius, who try to make them return. All kinds of enchantments and discomforting situations take place between the humans and the magical beings who

live in the wood, though all turns out well in the end. First performed in 1692 at the Dorset Garden Theatre, The Fairy-Queen was composed just three years

before Purcell’s death at the age of 35. The score was subsequently lost and only rediscovered in the early 1900s. See it on May 11, 6pm, or May 12, 12pm and 6pm.

n its first six months on air the English Time radio show has established itself as an informative and welcome part of the ex-pat day. Although the programme is focused on news and views from Adeje and South Tenerife, there is a Canaries-wide and even international flavor, with input from local councillors, regular contributors, such as Colin Kirby and British blogger Janet Anscombe, as well as involvement from journalists from national and local publications such as Island Connections, Canarian Weekly and Diario de Avisos According to presenter Clio O’Flynn, originally from Ireland and now resident in Callao Salvaje, the last six months have

been a fascinating, challenging and rewarding time, and not surprisingly. The programme, in line with the policy of Radio Sur Adeje, sees itself very much as a public service provider, and in recent weeks devoted time to bringing listeners information on making tax returns and the new legislation covering the declaration of overseas assets, as well as clarifying issues such as driving licence renewal and, most recently, the confusion over a by-law regarding laundry and barbecues on balconies. See the English Time blog (http://englishtimeadeje.com/) or facebook page and listen to the programme on Mondays and Thursdays, on Radio Sur Adeje, 107.9fm.

Property News ::

o matter how well a house or apartment meets your criteria, you will not be content there if you find you have simply bought in the wrong place. Of course, it is easier if you are renting but, even then, finding another property, moving and starting all over again still involves a lot of effort, time and money. When buying, either to live in the property or as an investment, it is then vital to get it right first time, so one of the most important things before committing yourself is to do a little research. Whilst some information can be garnered from the internet and magazines, the best option is to actually spend some time in the area.

Wild and wonderful

Location,

location, location

One of the most important aspects of buying or renting a property is its location. The new beach area is really quite lovely

With this in mind we decided to take a good look around at the most popular neighbourhoods in the south of Tenerife to see exactly what they have to offer.

Callao Salvaje This edition we are visiting Callao Salvaje, the most northerly town of the Costa Adeje resort. Callao Salvaje, which means Wild Coast, is situated alongside last edition’s featured town, Playa Paraiso. It is around 13 km from Playa de Las Américas and 20 km south of Los Gigantes.

Las Barandas’ delightful pool

There are some beautiful sunsets

Just like its neighbour, it is reached via a good road which is well sign-posted from the main coast road. However, although the two towns are close in proximity, they both have their own distinct personalities. For instance, one of the most recent additions to Callao Salvaje is its new beach, Playa de Ajabo, opened last year. As well as the good sized sand and bathing area there are walkways, viewing points and gardens which can all be easily reached via the natural stone paths which are suitable for disabled access. There is also now a small

plaza and café in the same area and the whole has made for a very agreeable spot indeed. Of course, the whole town comes with an uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean backdrop, with fabulous views across to the island of La Gomera and beyond, not to mention some incredible sunsets as it

There are plenty of different types of property to choose from

faces due west. There are still plenty of traditional banana plantations around the edges of the town as well and it is great to see the swathes of huge leaves swaying in the sea breezes. Although this part of the island is quite an arid environment,

between the native cacti, fig trees, palm and false-pepper trees, along with some splendid garden and public area projects, there is plenty of attractive greenery to admire. As a tourist zone it boasts its fair share of good hotels, including the four star Grand Hotel Callao with its typical Canarian architecture, surrounded by 54,000m2 of gardens. The Sueño Azul resort is also very popular and has a number of excellent villas with gardens. This area has also been proposed for a new Thalasotherapy

facility. Though, setting and amenities aside, one of the area’s best points is the true sense of community that exists in the town. There are plenty of social activities which nicely link the cosmopolitan population together and there is also a strong ex-pat church base. There are good local nursery school facilities available, and the town is also home to the Let’s Dance! school where you can learn anything from ballroom, tap and ballet to Latin and even cheerleading! Run by fully qualified English speaking teachers, the school provides professional classes for toddlers to pensioners, so is handy for anyone who wants a little energetic fun. Entertainment wise, thanks to that community spirit, local fiestas are celebrated aplenty and with gusto and there is a good range of restaurants and bars. From French cuisine through to tea houses and classic and local dishes from fine restaurants such as La Romántica, there is something here for everyone. As far as property goes there is once again a fine array to choose from. There are a number of frontline studios and apartments which are built right onto the rocks standing over the sea, including the Las Barandas apartments with their fabulous pool, as well as plenty of apartments, town houses and villas to suit all budgets, and even some excellent deals on resale timeshares in Sueño Azul at the moment. Towards the edges of town stand the newer developments and there are many luxurious villas, often with lush gardens, to choose from. Along with Playa Paraiso, Callao Salvaje was also recently ‘adopted’, as the English legalese goes, by the Adeje council, so it will also benefit from enhanced services and maintenance of public areas in the future. Callao Salvaje seems then a peaceful oasis away from the busier resorts further down the coast. Yet, at only 20 minutes from Las Américas and Los Cristianos, 30 from the Reina Sofia International Airport and just one hour away from the capital city, Santa Cruz, Callao Salvaje and neighbouring Playa Paraiso would perhaps be the perfect choice for someone seeking the relaxed atmosphere of a village, but with everything else close to hand.

Gardening ::

lants make their own food via photosynthesis, but need fertilising on a regular basis to ensure they have all the necessary nutrients they need to function properly. Basically, plants need carbon dioxide, water and light energy, normally from the sun, to produce chemical energy that is stored as sugar which can be used to fuel its activities. But they also need certain nutrients in order to be able to do this properly and thus grow healthy and strong. Without them plants soon become ill and susceptible to disease, so fertiliser is added to the soil to provide those essential elements.

Necessary nutrients Plants can obtain the carbon, oxygen and hydrogen they need from air and water. All the other nutrients dissolve in water and are taken up by the plant’s roots or, to a slight extent, by its leaves. The three main necessary nutrients, called macronutrients, are nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Nitrogen forms an important part of the green chlorophyll pigment which is critical for photosynthesis. It is essential for healthy foliage growth and is a fundamental element of plant cells’ proteins. Phosphorus is necessary to form those cells, and thus promotes the development of seedlings, root growth, flowering and formation of fruits and seeds. Potassium (often called Potash in gardening terms) is used for photosynthesis as well as being important for the plant’s water uptake, overall strength and disease resistance. It also improves the quality of flowers, fruits and seeds. There are also many micronutrients which are necessary for healthy plants. Calcium, for instance, forms the cell wall structure; Sulphur is part of plant protein and Magnesium is important in photosynthesis. Then there are trace elements such as Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper and Boron which are all essential, but needed only in minute quantities.

release their contents over time so only need to be applied occasionally. However, they don’t distribute nutrients evenly throughout the soil, so generally speaking liquid and slow-release fertilisers are much better. Liquid fertilisers are added to the water before administering it. Depending on the make, in the summer growing period they are often applied a couple or three times a week, reduced to once a week in winter. They provide a steady supply of nutrients that is easy to control and which nicely permeates the whole of the soil in the pot. Slow-release fertilisers are a relatively new thing. They consist of small particles surrounded by a protective membrane such as cellulose or a polymer resin coating. The action of water and micro-organisms in the soil slowly breaks the membrane down, allowing the fertiliser to seep through. The rate of nutrient release is often controlled by temperature, which means that more nutrients are released when the plants are actively growing. They aren’t cheap initially, but they do last a long time so it does balance out somewhat, and may be an option for those who sometimes forget to ‘feed’ their plants. This type of fertiliser is also very good for use on a larger scale.

Feed me! Roses and other plants need specialist fertilisers

are also plants, such as camellias and African violets that need specific levels of particular nutrients.

Pot plants

There are various types of general purpose fertilisers that are useful in most situations as they contain the basic nutrients that plants need to grow. Better quality ones will also contain a range of the micronutrients as well. However, if you have reason to suspect your soil may be lacking in certain nutrients, a simple test can be bought from garden suppliers which will tell you exactly which ones are deficient, and specialist fertilisers can be used to balance the levels. There

Unlike an outdoor garden, where plants can send out roots searching for food, the nutrients available to a potplant are strictly limited by the quality of the soil in the container and they therefore need a little extra care. New potting soil comes with fertiliser and other enhancements mixed in, but after usually six to eight weeks the plant will have consumed the nutrients and will need to be fertilised from then on in. For container plants, general fertilisers come in several different varieties: liquid, sticks, tablets, and slowrelease forms. Sticks and pills are handy as they

Home made compost is one of the best organic fertilisers

Garden glory Although garden plants have greater access to nutrients, they still use up the available ones in the area, so need regular fertilising for effective growth. Some types also originate in soils with higher than average nutrient content so they will need extra, whilst others such

as fruit trees, vegetables and roses, have been bred to be highly productive so need a regular boost, and lawns in particular also need feeding frequently. As far as inorganic fertilisers go the slow-release and granular versions suit gardens best. They come in general varieties as well as particular formulations to suit different types of plants. However, they usually contain a high proportion of nitrogen which can be very damaging to roots unless there is plenty of water available to help dissolve it: so they should always be applied to a moist soil which must be well watered straight away. Too much nitrogen can also cause disproportionate vegetative growth at the expense of bud development, giving you plenty of green leaves, but few flowers or fruit. Alternatively, there are a number of organic fertilisers that can be used. Making your own compost from leaves and kitchen waste is the ideal, but not everyone has the time, space or inclination for this. However, there are a number of other options which can be bought from garden suppliers and local farmers. Animal manures are excellent for improving soil structure when they are used in relatively large quantities, such as when completely digging over a plot from scratch for example. However, their nutrient value is relatively low and varies considerably depending on the type of manure and the animal’s diet. You can also buy pellets, which are usually compressed and dried poultry and sheep manure. As the pellets break down, the nutrients release gently over a long period and are thus much more effective. Blood and bone fertilisers also provide a gentle, continuous feed, their only disadvantage being that they don’t contain potassium. Serious gardeners may even consider growing green manure crops. These are often leguminous plants, such as peas or clover, that have nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria in their root nodules that fix atmospheric nitrogen in a form that other plants can use. The whole plants are then dug into the soil around established plants to provide a mix of nutrients as they decompose. Whichever way you choose, your plants will greatly appreciate a little feeding. However, it is important to remember that excessive use can be just as fatal to plants as not giving them any, so it is best to always follow the instructions carefully.
