S

panish singer/songwriter Alejandro Sanz brings his Paraiso Tour to Tenerife on August 28th, when he will perform at the football stadium in Adeje.

Alejandro, who has sold more than 25 million copies of his discs worldwide, recently enjoyed a smash hit, Looking for Paradise, a duet with Alicia Keys. He has also picked up 15 Latin Grammys and two Grammys as well as Billboard, MTV and various other awards during his career.

Paradise in Tenerife

623

One of the favourite elements of the celebrations for many are the romerías where hundreds, if not thousands, of people take to the streets walking, dancing or riding on decorated carts and dressed in traditional costume. Dancers, musicians, singers, bands and the occasional solo strummer entertain their family, friends and visitors and there is often a generous distribution of local food and wine among the spectators.

Many of the fiestas have their own idiosyncrasies. The August 14 celebration in Candelaria with its romería and Guanche (island aborigine) ceremony are an island classic. One of the most popular romerías is San Roque in Garachico which takes place on August 16th and is noted for its cane wands with coloured ribbons. In the Fiestas de Las Nieves in Agaete on August 17, which last year drew 30,000 people, participants carry tree branches during the procession.

Education Maxine Adassa Herrera

Sad loss

We are sorry to inform you that Maxine Adassa Herrera passed away earlier this month.

M

embers of the public in both the UK and here in Tenerife have been following Maxine’s b r a v e str uggle against ALS (amytrophic lateral sclerosis) and her fight to get the disease better known and into the public forum to force more aid for victims. Many people in both countries have been involved in fundraising activities on her behalf. Maxine lived and worked in Tenerife for over 12 years in various sectors and was a well known and well liked member of the ex pat community who will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. At the service in Tijoco, her mother, sister and niece expressed their pride in their, “beautiful and brave” daughter, sister and aunt.

Maxine leaves a husband and young daughter.

Air traffic control

Strike cancelled

The holiday industry is breathing a sigh of relief after Spanish air traffic controllers called off an allout strike planned for the middle of August.

T

he Canarian government was set to take legal action against air traffic controllers over the strike action and regional president Paulino Rivero said that he would not allow the controllers to inflict further damage on the Canarian economy and tourist sector and reminded the controllers that they were a privileged sector earning over €200,000 at a time when there are four million unemployed in Spain. The tourism industry has welcomed the change of heart, although it says hotel bookings have already been affected by the uncertainty caused by the initial announcement.

School closures

Alejandro Sanz concert

Paradise in Tenerife

A

deje is only the third stop on stage two of this tour which will travel all over Spain before heading off to the United States and Latin America. Fans in Lanzarote can see Alejandro on August 24th and those in Las Palmas on the 25th.

Twelve schools are to close

T

welve schools are to be closed as part of the Canarian Government’s belt tightening measures.

The closures are in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura and one new school is to be opened in Fasnia, Tenerife. Eleven are infants and primary schools and there is one secondary school, IES José de Anchieta in La Laguna whose pupils will be switched to the IES La Laguna. A spokesperson for the regional Government, Martín Marrero, announced that this does not mean that the number of school places will be reduced as the students will be integrated into other schools within the same boroughs.

In Tenerife, children in CEIP Las Cancelas, Adeje will now attend the centre in Armeñime, pupils at the CEIP El Guincho, Garachico will go to the Colegio Antonio del Valle Menéndez, students in the CEIP Tena Artigas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife will switch to Buenaventura Bonnet and children in the CEIP Guajara, Fasnia will now attend the CEO Guajara.

In Gran Canaria, students at CEIP Vega de Enmedio-Madroñal, Santa Brígida will now attend Juan del Río Ayala, the

CEIP César Manrique in San Bartolomé de Tirajana will close with pupils switching to the CEO Tunte and the students from the CEIP Tasartico in Aldea de San Nicolás will be integrated into the CEIP La Ladera.

Lanzarote’s CEIP Teseguite in Teguise will close and their pupils will now attend the CEIP Doctor Alfonso Spínola and in Haría the CEIP Santa Rosa will close and students will switch to the CEIP La Garita. Fuerteventura children now attending the CEIP Los Estancos in Puerto del Rosario will be integrated into San José de Calasanz and those in the CEIP Durazno in Antigua will be switched to the CEO Antigua.

Marrero claimed that the quality of the education would not be spoiled and that the moves were a rationalisation of services which would not produce overcrowding in the classes. Parents are advised to check out the new schools and parent teacher ratios for themselves and it would seem that with an enforced school move, if the new school is further away from the home than the one originally chosen, the Canarian Government may be liable to pay for free transport and school meals. Check with your local council or parent teacher association.

Concert-goers are promised a spectacular show with LED technology visuals which transfer the scenery into a different living scene for every song he performs.

Alejandro will be backed by a multi-national nine-piece band directed by New Yorker Mike Cero which includes members from the USA, London, Spain and Cameroon. He will be alternating songs taken from his latest album Paraiso Express with his classic hits, so no doubt the audience will be treated to songs such as Corazón Partío, No es lo mismo, Pisando Fuerte as well as more recent songs such as Te lo agradezco, pero no, a duet he performed with Shakira.

This concert is presented by the Ayuntamiento de Adeje and is sponsored by Heineken. It also has the cooperation of the Canarian Government, Tenerife Cabildo, Grupo Número Uno, Hyundai, Ceteca, Havana Club, Kuserv, CajaCanarias, Iberostar, Los 40 Principales and Fred Olsen, the official mode of transport of LM Producciones, promoters of the show.

Tickets are now on sale at El Corte Inglés, Generaltickets (CajaCanarias), TickTackTicket, Cajatique at La Caja de Canarias and Discos Noda stores. In Santa Cruz, they can be purchased in La Camisoteca and in the south at Maya Department Store in Playa de las Américas, Todo Hobby shops and at the Adeje Cultural Centre. In La Gomera, the supplier is Viajes Trevisso.

LM Producciones have also launched tickets for a preferential zone which is called Paraíso LG, which can only be purchased from Generaltickets and El Corte Inglés. This VIP area has exclusive accesses and services, and LG Electronics will be offering a very special Life’s Good experience to this section of the audience, giving them the effect of being in the front row.

Equipped with the latest technology, the Paraíso Tour promises to be the concert of the year, and an unforgettable experience. Jump on board!

Audience growth

F

The Auditorio de Tenerife has seen an increase in the number of visitors for the first seven months of the year.

rom August to December there are a range of activities available for 14 to 30 year old Canarian residents, grant aided by CajaCanarias under their scheme Jovenes con Sueños, youths with dreams.

Included are courses, workshops, open air activities, competitions and various sports.

The majority are free, although some car r y a symbolic €3 charge which will go towards social projects organised by the bank. The majority of the events will take place in the Espacio Cultural de CajaCanarias (so recently graced by the World Cup) near the Plaza Principe in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. One of the most popular courses is dog training which this year will take place between August 16 and October 28 with a limit of 12 places. Twenty people will have the chance to learn more about photography between August 16 and September 1 and there is a young business peoples’ meeting scheduled for October 20.

Open air activities include ‘haciendo pico’, a chance to go up

A total of 122,793 spectators have attended the 135 functions organised in the various areas of this cultural centre, an increase of 13.7 per cent over last year. The Sala Sinfónica has on average been 74.96 per cent full and the Sala de Cámera almost 60 per cent. For Cristóbal de la Rosa, the cultural and historical heritage coordinator, “these results are good news for the cultural sector”. The Auditorio de Tenerife offers a diverse programme to suit all audiences from classical music to modern dance and pop.

Environment

Clean sea It’s amazing what ends up in the ocean, which is why Tenerife’s island council organise a clean up each year.

Learn a new sport or hobby with CajaCanarias

Mount Teide and comprising various activities on October 16-17. The first step is to get to Teide by bicycle, walking up to the refuge where you spend the night before climbing to the top the following morning. The downward trip is by the cable car to board a bus to take you to Masca where you walk down to the beach

and climb into a kayak for a trip under the impressive Los Gigantes cliffs.

T wenty people will get the chance to join the ‘Pack Gomero’ for a two day trip in early November to the Garajonay national park and various other Gomeran sites. The group will stay in Los Acebitos refuge and visit El Cedro in the

park as well as taking part in a kayak trip along the coast of the Valle Gran Rey. This year’s sports activities include kitesurfing and sports photography, activities for the disabled are also available and the full list of the proposals and details of how to apply can be seen on the bank’s website at www.cajacanarias.es.

Hoteliers

German flights fear T

he hotel and apartment sector in La Palma says it is, “ver y worried” at the prospect of drastically-reduced flights from Germany this winter.

The local Ashotel association voiced the concern after it emerged that talks with two top airlines had failed to produce a change of heart. Air Berlin and Condor

announced a few weeks ago that they planned to cut flights by up to 50 per cent and divert their aircraft to other routes because they fear a repeat of the disruption that plagues La Palma airport during the winter months.

The problems were particularly bad during the early part of this year due to the storms which closed the airport several times, forcing tour companies

to pay extra accommodation costs for holidaymakers. La Palma was the Canary island worst affected by the Icelandic volcano ash cloud also, say the airlines, which carry 65 per cent of all international passengers to the island between October and May. Ashotel has urged the government to come up with an imaginative solution to keep the airlines flying over the winter.

Now in its fourth year, the clean sea campaign started in Puertito de Güímar this year and the workers are mainly volunteers registered with the Oficina de la Participación at Ideco. The idea of the campaign is not only to clear up specific areas of the coastline, but also to make the public aware of the importance of protecting and conserving marine biodiversity. In addition to the clean up, there are information campaigns, various kids’ workshops are organised and, if there are any available, a release of turtles recovered from sickness or injury. The campaign will move to Candelaria on August 21 and San Marcos in Icod de los Vinos on September 4.

Volunteers

When the going gets tough The number of volunteers within the Tenerife health and social services department of the island council has increased by 50 per cent.

Over 400 people have visited the Oficina del Voluntariado of the IASS (Instituto de Atención Social y Sociosanitaria), thanks it would seem to an improvement in training and information. Of the 400 plus who came to the volunteers’ office, 140 have now joined one of the many NGOs (nongovernmental organisations) which operate in the island.

The majority of the volunteers are young, although increasingly more middle aged and retired people are offering their services. It would seem that more people have time on their hands and want to help those most at need. It is also true that if you are without experience, unemployed and without prospects of work, helping on a voluntary basis at least gives you some work experience which may be of use to you should a vacancy become available.

Hiking on the Canary Islands

T

The tranquil island, which tends only to feature in the news over education controversies (residents fought a successful campaign two years ago to have

a full school built for local children to save the inconvenience of crossing to Lanzarote), had to be visited by a judge from Arrecife before permission could be given to remove the body of the victim, a 42-year-old local man, to a morgue on the neighbouring island. Police say the man

Victims furious

H

iking routes on the Canar y Islands are among some of the most spectacular in the world. The scenery is magnificent, the views are unforgettable and the sense of adventure from exploring the islands is exhilarating. But you need to be prepared in order to enjoy hiking safely.

Every year we hear of people in trouble whilst hiking or trekking on the islands, sometimes with serious consequences. Fortunately, many of these situations can be avoided by some careful planning. Using information provided by local authorities, here are some top tips to organising your adventure: 1. Don’t hike alone unless you are an experienced walker and are familiar with the area.

2. Always plan your trail in advance.

There are many useful websites with well researched routes, e.g. www.rutasdetenerife.com, www.laguiadegrancanaria.com 3. Choose an appropriate trail according to your fitness level.

4. Take a map with you and don’t go off the trail.

5. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather and length of your hike.

6. Take enough water and food.

7. Don’t forget other essential gear like sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.

8. Inform someone of where you are going and when you expect to return.

9. Take a fully charged mobile phone with you.

10. Phone 112 if you urgently need assistance.

Fatal stabbing iny La Graciosa suffered its first serious crime recently in the form of a fatal stabbing.

V

ictims of what has been billed as the biggest ever child sex scandal in Spain are furious at a bid by the main suspect to seek legal protection for the name by which the case has become known in the media.

Fernando Baena is to be tried for almost 60 separate offences relating to events at

his award-winning karate school in Las Palmas. Baena, his partner and another instructor are said to have coerced young pupils into taking part in sex sessions with adults, some of them filmed on video, over a period of nearly twenty years.

Details of the alleged offences have shocked the public both here and in the rest of Spain and anger grew even further when it emerged that Baena, who has been

died after receiving three stab wounds to the chest during an argument outside a cafeteria. A local man in his 30s, a cousin of the deceased, has been arrested in connection with the killing. Top Spanish daily El Mundo headlined the stabbing with the title La Graciosa Loses its Innocence.

Karate Case

on remand in prison since February, has applied to Spain’s Patent and Trademark Office to register the name ‘Karate Case’, with a view to licensing it for use in a film and/or book. The prospect of him cashing in on the sordid history has led a lawyer acting for dozens of alleged victims to ask the Spanish authorities to block the application.

TV series slammed

R

elatives of passengers killed in the Spanair plane crash in Madrid two years ago have slammed Spanish TV channel Tele5 for its lack of sensitivity in airing a mini-series to coincide with the second anniversary of the tragedy.

154 passengers and crew died when their aircraft crashed and burst into flames on

the runway of Madrid Airport. Many of the victims were Canarians returning home to Gran Canaria after their summer holidays.

A preliminary investigation into the crash has pointed the finger at short-cuts taken during repairs to a faulty warning switch, which should have alerted the pilot that the flaps had not been deployed properly for take-off.

Tele5, who are due to show the drama

Air crash

series (called Flight IL8714 and based on the Spanair crash) on 20 August, have been described as, “cruel and inconsiderate” by relatives. A spokesman for the families said they were considering legal action to block the airing of the programmes and called on the, “moral conscience” of the company that produced the series to pull it off at the last minute.

Holidays

Stay-at-home politicians S

enior Canarian political figures have opted to spend their holidays close to home rather than venture further afield this year.

The region’s president Paulino Rivero says he will spend a few days in Lanzarote to unwind, as he has done for the last few years, but wants to be in Tenerife for the annual pilgrims’ walk to Candelaria on 14

August. His deputy José Manuel Soria, who is also the Canarian finance minister, is going to use August to relax ahead of the mammoth task of preparing the 2011 Budget in the autumn. Soria has decided to take a number of mini-breaks instead of a long holiday and will visit Lanzarote, La Palma, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. Social Affairs minister Inés Rojas is hoping to take a fortnight off to spend

time with the family in her native Tinajo (Lanzarote) but has already warned them that, “plans may have to be changed due to her workaholic boss”, Rivero. Only tourism minister Rita Martín is contemplating a trip abroad to be able to switch off totally and visit other holiday destinations for ideas, although as August began she had no plans finalised.

Look no hands

By Barbara Belt

La Gomera’s airport enjoys the dubious privilege of becoming the first state run airport in Spain to operate without air traffic controllers.

Marcos Suarez Quintana, 37, was running an English-speaking church in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, but returned to his wife and children in Northern Ireland this year because of his deteriorating condition.

He told Island Connections, “I’ve already had some surgery in Ireland, but have been advised to have further treatment in the States. We are trying to raise enough money to cover the surgery and flights.” His wife Jennifer, an Irish nurse,

is due to fly out on August 11, but they currently have nowhere near enough funds to pay for her tickets, but now worshippers at the Lanzarote Baptist Church have stepped in to offer both ‘spiritual’ and practical help.

English ex-pat Ben Austin, 38, who is helping to lead the church in Marcos’ absence, said, “I have been deeply moved by the concern shown by everyone here for Marcos. It seems tragically unfair that a man of similar age and family situation should be struck with such a terrible illness. For years I abused my own body through drugs, yet Marcos has done none of this but has to contend with this awful cancer battle.”

Mr Austin, who has lived in San Bartolomé for about seven years, hopes to feature in a fundraising concert at the church, situated in the Marina Rubicon.

He’s a drummer with popular ex-pat band, Los Rubarboos.

Meanwhile, the church held a late night prayer vigil for Marcos earlier last month when he updated the congregation on his condition via a mobile phone link-up transmitted over the sound system.

They cer tainly believe in miracles as Marcos was told 12 years ago that he wouldn’t be alive for the birth of his first child. Such was the severity of his brain tumour back then that Jennifer was induced ensuring their baby daughter was born

a month early.But Marcos’ tumour shrank after chemotherapy and he subsequently graduated at Belfast Bible College. They returned to the Canaries as he became pastor of his old church in Arrecife, where his Gran Canarian family had moved when he was 13.

However, during his three years in the job he suffered what felt like a ‘massive migraine’.

He recalled, “we both thought that this would be it this time, but after a couple of scans it proved there was no tumour any more. I was healed and believe this was a miracle of God.” They returned to Ireland to run a Free Methodist Church in Northern Ireland for four years before returning to Lanzarote again about four years ago. He became youth pastor

at the Baptist church before taking on responsibility for the new English meetings a year ago.

Meanwhile, another pastor on the island, Alan Shaw, 76, has stepped down from most duties at his English-speaking church in Costa Teguise because of his own cancer battle.

The charitable ex-pat community of Lanzarote has already displayed its metal by collecting more than €500 for Cancer Research UK in memory of a popular young waitress who lost her battle against the disease.

Helen Stevens, from Nottinghamshire, was just 25 when she died in February, after being diagnosed for about a year. She worked at La Bocaina Restaurant, Playa Blanca, during her two years on the island.

As of the end of July, aircraft taking off and landing on the island have been guided by what AENA Canarias director Juan Jose Álvarez describes as, “the latest, safest technology...

AFIS”.

AFIS stands for Aerodrome Flight Information Service, and was originally developed in the USA by Allied Signal and Honeywell as a VHS, ground-based system for both ground-to-air and air-to-air communications.

This satellite-based system, providing worldwide coverage and advertised as ‘internet in the sky’, was produced shortly after.

The service is used all over the world. Airfields which are not busy enough to warrant full air traffic control, but need some form of service, increasingly use it. In the UK, airports using it are described as, “a halfway house between an uncontrolled and a controlled airfield”.

There, as in La Gomera, specially licensed Flight Safety Information Officers use AFIS to advise the taxiing aircraft of other aircraft flying in the area, together with details of local weather and general conditions.

The system is attractive because, once installed, it is far cheaper to run than a team of air traffic controllers, especially in Spain where they are among the country’s top earners.

The disappearance of La Gomera’s air traffic controllers comes as no sur-

prise. Spain’s forty-eight state run airports are run by the national airport authority AENA, which last year clocked up losses of three hundred million euros.

Spanish Minister for Development, José Blanco, announced that, together with other measures, satellite systems would replace controllers at the country’s twelve smallest airports, “in the near future”. La Gomera, with its two daily flights to Tenerife, was obviously at the top of his hit list.

The island’s five air traffic controllers cost AENA eight hundred and fifty thousand euros a year. Even the innumerate amongst us can manage to do the maths.

One hundred and seventy thousand euros each works out at fourteen thousand a month, per person, to supervise the arrival and departure of two small aircraft a day. What a job.

Or are the fortunate five relieved to have escaped from the relative penury of earning less than average?

The three women and two men now employed in their place at the airport, as information technicians, will save AENA nearly six hundred thousand euros a year and are, according to chief Macarena Tato, “relaxed, prepared and keen to get to work”.

One of the new workers, Ramón Hermida, clarified the difference between his job and an air traffic controller’s. “We can’t authorise landings and take-offs. We can only give information about air traffic, weather conditions and the state of the runway. The decision about landing and takingoff, or not, always rests with the pilot.”

Ryanair Migrant drownings

South west

Three Moroccan men who led an ill-fated crossing by African migrants to Lanzarote in February 2009 have been jailed for a total of 96 years by the Las Palmas Criminal Court.

Guía de Isora council has reclaimed public areas of land from builders on 21 sites in five of its neighbourhoods.

Council reclaim land

96 years for culprits T

he trio (two men who piloted the rickety boat and a third who organised the illegal crossing) received 25 years each for the manslaughter of 25 of the boat’s 31 occupants, plus another seven years each for human trafficking. The two pilots survived the capsizing of the boat off the Los Cocoteros beach but were identified by the four remaining survivors as being in charge of the six-metre boat, which the authorities said was, “totally unfit” for the perilous trip. The head of a mafia-type ring based in Morocco that charged thousands of euros for crossings was arrested some time later when he too travelled across to the Canaries. Two local youths who saw the boat overturn just yards from the coast dived into the water and swam to the aid of the stricken migrants. They managed to haul six of the occupants to safety with the help of ropes thrown from the shore by other locals, who were alerted by the screams from the water. The tragedy made the headlines worldwide.

New police force

Teething problems

The new Canarian police force is barely a month old and is already experiencing rumblings of discontent within its ranks.

C

ontroversially assigned to what were vaguely called, “support duties” in July due to a lack of clarity over their functions and powers compared to Spain’s National Police and Civil Guard, the new officers have already complained at long shifts and poorly-planned rostering.

T

he recently-created Canarian Police Union, which represents many of the hundred officers recruited to date, says its members are working around 60 hours a week and some have been obliged to turn out for five successive weekends. Critics of the force say the discontent is an inevitable outcome of the unprofessional approach taken by the regional government, which in its eagerness to get it off the ground this summer had to deploy officers to support crowd control at major events on a number of islands because they had no real work to perform. The union says the deployment was ill-prepared and senior officers are, “making it up as they go along”.

Charge angers Canaries R

yanair passengers to the Canary Islands will continue to pay higher baggage charges originally introduced as a temporary revenue-generation measure for July and August, even though the charges are being reduced in September for all other routes.

The airline announced on 30 July that checked-in bag fees for most routes would return to €/£15 per bag from September 1st, as opposed to the €/£20 charge imposed during the peak travel months, with the charge for heavier bags dropping to €/£25 from the summer tariff of €/£30. However, in a move which has been criticised by the holiday sector here, not to mention passengers affected, it has opted to maintain the

By Karl McLaughlin

higher summertime charges for international flights to the Canary Islands.

A Ryanair spokesman said the impact would be minimal given that, “almost 70 per cent of passengers would not be affected as they did not check in baggage”.

The claim is debatable, however, if one considers the long queues frequently experienced at the airline’s bag-drop counters at airports such as Tenerife South.

A travel industr y insider said the decision to maintain the higher tariff for Canarian flights was unsurprising: “if any routes are going to have a higher hold baggage ratio it is the ones to the Canaries, given that stays tend to be longer and the islands are very popular with families. So with one fell swoop, the airline can generate

an extra €5 per head for around half the flight” he said.

The move has caused confusion among passengers who have already booked flights post-September. A popular forum for ex-pats and visitors to Tenerife has received multiple posts from members expressing uncertainty about whether they need to contact the airline to pay the extra amount.

Ryanair’s announcement coincided with extensive UK media coverage of its decision to charge three top musicians almost £1,400 to allow their priceless violins to occupy seats next to them on a flight to London from Frankfur t after ruling that the cases, which could have fitted in an overhead locker, were bigger than the permitted size - 55cms by 40cms by 20cms.

Despite the stoppage of work on the sites some time ago, the construction companies continued to occupy public land with cranes, fencing, workmen’s huts etc. These have now been removed and council operatives are now working to replace the various missing or damaged footpaths, street lights etc., carrying away building rubble and rubbish and blocking up the partly finished buildings.

Retail parks

New shopping centres

Tenerife’s Trade Commission has authorised two new retail parks for the south of the island, despite stiff opposition from small shops in the area.

One of the shopping centres will be built near the Barranco de Las Torres in Adeje and the other next to Siam Park. Canarian trade official Arturo Cabrera said the new parks would be, “relatively small” (under 20,000 square metres) but local shops say they will lead to extensive closures throughout the Playa de Las Américas and Costa Adeje area. “For every job created by out of town shopping centres, four jobs are lost in traditional shops,” said a spokesman for the local businesses.

It’s one of the traditional activities orchestrated in the island to maintain traditions and the countryside which are becoming extremely popular and now enjoy the support of the island council and well as the increasing band of traditions fans. Representing the Cabildo was the island councillor for agriculture, José Joaquín Bethencourt, who must put in more weekend work than most of his peers as he never misses one of these colourful and entertaining events.

The local agricultural department organised 45 volunteer reapers in the Finca de Las Cuchillas and it was staged as it would have occurred in the times of our forefathers. The reapers hand-cut the wheat with scythes and sickles, bundled it into stacks tied with wheat stalks and strapped the stacks onto a donkey. When the morn-

Make a day of it and enjoy the local beaches and one of the cheap and cheerful restaurants in the town, La Cabaña near the square or Cruz de Toledo on the right heading towards Punta del Teno and the golf course.

ing’s work was over the reapers used more stacks to create an eating area and cleared the centre with their scythes. Two women then appeared bearing on their heads in balayos (baskets made from cereal stalks), the food and drink for the labourers. Workers and watchers enjoyed a typical labourers’ feast of dried fish, potatoes, fruit, mojo sauces, gofio, corn on the cob, water

and wine. As Bethencour t declared, “traditions come from the past and belong to the future and to that end we continue to sow”.

Further events organised for the near future are various meetings of arrastre de ganado – a competition with hitched oxen drawing a set weight over a given course. The normal time for these meetings is mid morning, but it would be better

to check with the local council’s agricultural department nearer the time. Dates set so far are, August 22, Santa Úrsula, September 4, Camino Tornero, La Laguna, September 11, Benijos, La Orotava, September 19, Casa del Ganadero, Avenida San Diego, La Laguna, September 26, Valle Tabares, Terrero Jacinto Báez and November 14th, Casa Del Ganadero, Avenida San Diego, La Laguna.

A number of public areas in Arona in tourism areas are to be renovated over the next four years with a budget of €22 million.

The funds are to come from the Cabildo, the local council and the Canarian and Spanish Governments to improve the destination and maintain its ability to compete in the tourist market. The first work to be undertaken is the renovation of the Calle Arquitecto Gómez Cuesta in Playa de Las Américas. Further plans in the pipeline are works in the Avenida Rafael Puig, a park in Los Cristianos, renovation of the Plaza del Pescador in Los Cristianos, Avenida Antonio Domínguez, the central Arona park, Calle Hércules in Costa del Silencio, Calle Noelia Afonso and the parking next to the Avenida Rafael Puig.

She lines up with 80 beauties from across the world in Las Vegas on 23 August for the contest, which will be shown live on TV. Adriana paid a visit recently to the Tenerife Cabildo, where its president, Ricardo Melchior, wished her well for her US adventure. She is the first contestant from Tenerife to take part in Miss Universe since 1977.

A Santa Cruz woman faces prosecution and a hefty bill for damage caused to a bar where staff refused to serve her a drink due to her drunken state.

The 32-year-old was arrested after an altercation in the bar, triggered by the waiter’s refusal to serve her a beer.

Customers say she went berserk and, “smashed everything in sight”, causing damage estimated at €650. Police who were called to deal with the incident found her car parked in the middle of the road with the engine still running and driver’s door open.

Volcano routes are to be created

Tourism initiative

Volcanoes of life M

illions of euros are being pumped into new plans to exploit the volcanic nature of the Canary Islands and Tenerife has just announced its new project within these plans, Volcanoes of Life.

Tenerife is the only place in Europe where you can see all the volcanic processes and once the plans are in place the volcanoes will be another plus for our visitors, one which will distinguish us from all competitors and which no-one can copy. Island tourism councillor, José Manuel Bermúdez, explained, “this

way we are able to show the richness of the volcanoes in their natural environment and promote them as a tourism attraction”. He reminded those present at the launch of the project, “this project is to complement our sun and beach offer and differentiate the island from other competing tourism destinations which do not have the diverse amount of options we have”.

Volcano routes are to be created and complementary services developed. Specific interpretative guides are to be trained and courses available for receptionists and businesses as well as tourist guides.

Ermita Moreira, the councillor for local development, introduced a number of companies which have shown that the way for ward is through innovation, and hoped that their experience would show that “we’re not talking about really complicated developments as essential” to innovate. Instead, the companies taking par t had taken a simple idea and developed it into a skill and a business, creating employment in the process.

She added that it was obvious that the tourism demand was not what it had been ten years ago and within the market it was essential to discover and evolve new employment opportunities.

According to Juan Antonio Núñez Rodríguez, Tenerife’s innovation and development director, the conference was an interesting initiative on the part of Adeje council in a move to establish the basic objective of making people aware of the

tools), dovetailing all the information to let people find out what’s going on in a place of their choice, where their friends are (in real time), rate bars and restaurants and places to visit, and arrange meetings (www.madeinlocal.com). One of the main problems she said she faced, despite international acclaim and business awards for their site, was the lack of help and understanding from Canarian institutions, this despite the fact that the creators were young Canarians, and to date they hadn’t received “a cent in funding from any public bodies”.

Damaged by the heavy winter rains, the centre has been closed for almost six months, but good use has been put to the closure in making good the damage and improving the area, hopefully to prevent further weather damage.

The remains of the castle were found in June 2006 during the remodelling of the Plaza de España and the architects Herzog & de Meuron decided to include the remains of this historically important building in the remodelling project by

Access to the Castle is free and it is open throughout September from 11am to 7pm every day except Tuesday.

he failure to switch on new lights on a substantial stretch of the TF1 motorway between Santa Cruz T and Arafo appears to be due to a dispute over who is currently responsible for the newly-renovated and widened road.

Motorists have long complained of the dangers of driving at night along the stretch of motorway, which was fitted with state of the art lighting some time ago. It has now emerged that until the section is formally certified as finished and handed over to the Tenerife Cabildo by the regional government, which carried out the work, the Cabildo will not take on responsibility for the sizeable lighting bill.

According to the newspaper El Día, the corporation’s economic development officer Carlos Alonso is adamant his department will not pay the estimated €275,000 annual cost until it is satisfied that the road is fully completed and the appropriate completion reports have been issued by Cabildo engineers. Other sources say the Cabildo is holding out for an increase in road upkeep funding from the Canarian government before assuming the responsibility for the motorway lights.

The thirteen rare vases have been transferred under an agreement reached between the Tenerife Cabildo’s Heritage Department and their owners, Santa Cruz Council, which runs the Fine Arts Museum where they have been stored since arriving a hundred years ago.

The vases, which all date back at least 2,500 years, were shipped to Tenerife almost exactly a hundred years ago from their former home in Liverpool Museum, whose curator offered them to Santa Cruz in exchange for Dutch ceramic roof tiles from the 17th century that caught his attention during a visit to a convent in the city in 1908. During World War II, most of Liverpool Museum’s remaining Egyptian Collection was destroyed by German bombing. One of the vases is nearly 5,000 years old and is believed to be the oldest Egyptian artefact held in Spain.

Guimerá Theatre to reopen

Santa Cruz’s history-steeped Guimerá Theatre is to reopen in September after extensive renovations.

The theatre, which doubles up as a concert hall, closed in March 2009 and should have been back in business by 1 April but has been hit by a spate of unforeseen problems, including flooding in February which forced much of the interior to be totally repainted. Cultural affairs councillor Maribel Oñate has set 3 September as the re-opening date and promises an interesting programme of performances and music for the remaining four months of 2010. The programme budget is €150,000 but Oñate hopes to recoup 90 per cent in ticket sales.

Granadilla port

Confusion continues

The future of the new port in Granadilla continues to be surrounded with confusion despite the decision by the Tenerife authorities to push ahead with construction work.

At the end of July, just when it appeared that the last legal hurdles had been cleared, the Canarian High Court issued a statement saying it had not lifted the temporary ban imposed in 2009 after opponents filed a legal challenge against the government’s decision to downgrade the conservation measures applicable to marine life species in the area in order to get around its own environmental legislation. However, the Court says that the new Protected Species List, passed by the regional Parliament at the end of May, is not the end of the matter and has given itself the first half of August to decide whether to forward the controversial modification of the previous List to the country’s Constitutional Court for a definitive ruling.

Granadilla de Abona

Wage cuts continue

Granadilla council has decided to impose a salary cut on elected officials for the second time in just over six months.

The town’s mayor Carmen Nieves Rivero secured approval from her colleagues for a fresh reduction of between two and three per cent, which follows the five per cent pay cut taken at the beginning of the year. “We decided to set an example back in January by imposing a cut on councillors even before Spain’s Local Government Association formally recommended the step as part of cost-cutting measures.

Now we want to do a little more to save on costs at the council,” explained the mayor, who slammed the town’s PSOE councillors for opposing the cut for procedural reasons given that it did not feel the vote should be taken under urgent business.

Statistics

Tenerife tourism

Visitors to the island in June increased by 11.36 per cent over last year.

The island councillor for tourism, José Manuel Bermúdez, underlined that, “this is now three months on the run that the number of tourists staying in Tenerife has registered a year on year increase”. The number of tourists from the main markets of Britain and Germany in June rose 17.88 per cent and six per cent respectively and increases in tourism levels were registered both in the south (13.61 per cent) and the north (1.97 per cent).

Economy

Tourist spending

Spending by non-Spanish tourists in the Canaries may have fallen in recent times but holidaymakers continue to contribute a staggering amount to the region’s economy.

Figures published by the Spanish Ministry of Tourism show that visitors holidaying here during the first half of this year spent a total of €4.3 billion, an average of €96 per person per day.

Credit

Squeeze “to ease soon”

Tenerife’s employers are predicting that banks here will soon relax their draconian lending rules as more ‘green shoots’ show signs of emerging, signalling a possible end to the economic crisis.

The CEOE association says it has surveyed the major banks and savings banks in the Canaries and the majority are optimistic that loans and mortgages will become more readily available following around two years of tight restrictions introduced to minimise exposure to defaulters. “The prospect of access to credit will be a badly-needed breath of fresh air to the business sector across the board, but particularly to small firms” adds the CEOE, although it warns that business confidence still needs to be restored more fully before talk of a recovery is justified. A relaxation of mortgage criteria will bring a much-needed boost to the property market here also, according to local estate agents.

Phone charges

Holiday mobiles R

Switch off to avoid roaming charges

oaming charges, those imposed by mobile companies when you are using your phone in a country other than the one where the service was contracted, are still so high that it is recommended that you use your phone as little as possible when on holiday abroad.

If you have a state of the art phone and want to be able to use maps, GPS navigation systems etc. via the internet, it is advisable to buy a local prepaid card for your phone if you want to avoid a nasty surprise when your next bill arrives. A flat rate access to the web in Spain costs between €12 and €18 for up to 200 megabytes, but on roaming the costs can rise by up to €1 for each megabyte.

Of course it’s not only online ser vices that are expensive, with some companies, such as Movistar, simply receiving a call or sms text from abroad is enough to activate a roaming ser vice with a charge of €1 a day (and as the conditions don’t mention whether receiving means answering or not, it is advised to have the phone switched off). Even having your mobile active and possible to locate will cost you €1 a day with Orange. Vodafone have cheaper offers, but you will be charged over a euro for putting through each call and €1.15 for each 20 minutes of conversation in received calls.

If you make a routine of this in the morning and evening you can turn off the phone the rest of the time.

Why is roaming so expensive?

The operators claim that intensive use in the summer and at Christmas collapses

In 2007, the European Commission established limits to the roaming charges of a maximum of 49 cents a minute for calls made and 24 cents a minute for those received. The operators appealed but the European Tribunal upheld the Commission’s ‘eurotariff’ which has become law. However it only covers phone calls and not messages, sms, mms or web access which is where the operators increase charges to maintain profits.

Recommendations for mobiles abroad: • Switch it off.

• If you can’t avoid using it, study the various of fers before you travel so that you can choose something that suits your needs and organise it before you are obliged to pay for the imposed service which is usually more expensive.

• When you arrive at your destination the local operator will contact you to activate roaming. Make sure you know the charges.

• Never use the web access and if you can, deactivate it when you are abroad.

• Deactivate the automatic webmail service.

• Remind your family and friends not to call you unless it is an emergency and if possible give them an alternative

Tenerife academy A

It’s a new proposal from the Tenerife Tourist Board through their Convention Bureau and designed to show the wide possibilities offered by the island for congresses, conventions, incentive breaks and product presentations. Currently this kind

of tourism brings in about 80,000 visitors in 1,000 different events, but it is a huge market and the idea is clearly to widen the agents’ knowledge of what is on offer in the island in the hope that Tenerife will be the first destination to spring to mind when their clients ask them to organise something for them.

The Tenerife Academy is split into two phases, theory and practical. The first

round 80 travel agencies from Madrid and Barcelona came to school in Tenerife recently.

Spanish consumers spend a third of their annual clothes budget during the sales.

However the report by Avery Dennison and TNS shows that seven out of 10 also buy items they had no intention of purchasing, 76 per cent don’t set a limit for their spending in the sales and 72 per cent give up on buying something they had set their hearts on due to the long queues at the checkout. The majority say they would like to see the ticket show the original and sale price and not just a percentage discount to make it easier to calculate their total expenditure.

Over a third, 37 per cent, don’t buy articles because they have a problem calculating the sale price.

part took place in Madrid and Barcelona at the end of June and the beginning of July with representatives of 15 Tenerife businesses accompanying the experts from Tenerife Tourism. The second phase was a familiarisation holiday in the island called the Ultimate Tenerife Experience.

If successful the idea will be expanded to take in more of the Spanish peninsula regions and foreign markets.

The traditional Spanish Libro de Familia (family book) which registers births, deaths and marriages, is to be replaced by a certificate.

The new civil registry certificate will be individual and show the history of each person from his or her birth. The replacement of the book, which has been in use since 1957, is supposed to eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic procedures.

Each child born will be given a personal citizen code of letters and numbers which may then be used for all the bureaucratic moves that an

individual has to make at the Civil Registry throughout his or her life. Many of the current work of the registry will be able to be carried out online.

Mortgages

Law rejected

A proposed new law to force mortgage companies to remove the floor on mortgage rates so that homebuyers can take full advantage of lower interest rates has been defeated in the upper house.

The Senate voted against the modification in the Consumers and Users Defence Law. It is assumed that a report by the Bank of Spain on the negative impact of such a move on Spanish banks was vital in the senators’ decisions.

Between 1.5 and 3.1 million people are affected by the rule resulting in additional charges per year which could reach €6,000. Those who are caught by the rate trap are advised to negotiate with their banks or find a new lender.

Tourism prize

Hotel award

British tour operator, Thomas Cook, has awarded the Club Hotel Riu Buena Vista in Playa Paraíso, Tenerife, their prize for excellence. The award is given every year to the hotels and apartments which exceed the expectations of the clients in all aspects from quality and service to the installations and food.

Richard Calvert, Joint Managing Director of Thomas Cook Mainstream UK & Ireland, commented, “our prize is based 100 per cent on the opinions of the clients”.

Retirement

Pensions up

According to July statistics, the average retirement pension has increased by 3.5 per cent over last year to €884.97. Taking into account retirement, widow and orphan and incapacity pensions, the average is now at €780.25, 3.4 per cent more than the previous July with widows’ pensions increasing to €572.10, up 3.2 per cent.

Creating art Crearte is a new association which has been created with the support of the island council to help improve the competitiveness of Tenerife craft work.

35 licensed craftsmen and women have banded together to promote design, art, craft, investigation of theory, training and the defence and commercialisation of craft products.

Tourism

More Brits A second online booking agency has confirmed the popularity of Tenerife with its British clients this summer.

After lowcostholidays.com announced a 300 per cent increase in bookings for the island this summer over 2009 figures, Trivago, a hotel reservation company has corroborated their findings. Their analysis puts Tenerife ahead of other popular destinations like Cyprus and Majorca. For local councillor for tourism, José Manuel Bermúdez, in both cases it is a sign that, “Tenerife is still a preferred destination, our vocational offer is one of the most solid in Europe and that the promotional activities that we are carrying out in this country are bearing fruit”. According to Trivago.com.uk, the top ten destinations for British clients this summer are, Tenerife, Cyprus, Majorca, Gran Canaria, Jersey, Madeira, Cayo Hueso (Florida), Hawaii, Lanzarote and Crete.

Adsl connections

iSLAND Broadband The first phase of the new Tenerife telecommunications ring has been presented by the island council.

The project is to install a high capacity telecommunications network all over the island for the development of a better broadband system. Work should be finished

by November this year, helping improve our communications with the rest of the world and limiting the effects of our geographical ultra peripheral status with respect to the rest of the European Union.

The first phase will join the south of the island with the installations in the Canarian Institute of Astrophysics with two parallel systems to prevent cut outs in the service and the second phase will take the fibre optic to the north and south east. Eventually the network will also be joined to the NAP, Neutral Access Point.

Offshore banking

Further tax transparency Isle of Man and Guernsey to start to end banking secrecy

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

F

ew expatriates used to think twice about opening an of fshore account.

They provide a means of keeping Sterling outside the UK; you can usually open and use them from anywhere in the world; interest rates were relatively attractive and they have been popular for ‘tax planning’ purposes.

While the first two benefits still apply, offshore banks do not necessarily offer the same interest rate advantages that they used to, and from a tax planning point of view the situation is very different today, with more developments on the horizon.

Following the collapse of Icelandic banks in the Isle of Man and Channel Islands, savers also began to question how safe their savings were, even though the jurisdictions did then implement or improve depositor protection schemes.

As a result of these changes, more savers today are considering alternative homes for their wealth. Offshore banks were often used by people to

hide money away from the taxman. The introduction of the EU Savings Tax Directive in 2005 served to change this.

All Member States are required to operate automatic exchange of information on interest payments earned by EU residents.

Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria were allowed to operate a withholding tax system with a view to exchange of information after a transitional period.

The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands also operate withholding tax – which effectively maintains banking secrecy - with the option for exchange of information.

By this time next year this will have changed. In June the Isle of Man parliament agreed

that from 1st July 2011 it will withdraw the withholding tax option and only operate automatic exchange of information - there will be no more banking confidentiality for EU residents.

This was an endorsement of the commitment it had made in June 2009, when it was the first offshore jurisdiction to do this.

Then on 28th July this year, Guernsey announced that it will also introduce automatic exchange of information, thereby abolishing the option to pay a withholding tax and avoid disclosure. The Fiscal and Economic Policy Group has recommended that institutions should move to exchange of information from 1st January

2011, and no later than 1st July 2011.

These decisions will impact on all expatriates who have not declared their Isle of Man or Guernsey accounts in their country of residence. Anyone affected by this will need to ensure that they have reported all their interest to their local tax authority … or bear the consequences.

Other European jurisdictions which operate the withholding tax option, eg Switzerland, could now come under increased pressure to follow suit.

In any case, the withholding tax rates jumps from 20 per cent to 35 per cent next July.

Many of the advantages that offshore banks used to offer investors are gradually being eroded. There are investment structures available which can reduce tax liability, and offer the potential for capital growth and higher rates of return.

Speak to an experienced wealth manager like Blevins Franks for the most suitable tax planning and investment strategy to meet your needs.

Dear Dr. De La Flor Dear Dr. De La Flor,

Sincerely, June

Dear June,

The more risk factors you have, the higher the likelihood that a symptom means something is going on with your heart. People often don’t want to admit that they’re old enough or sick enough to have heart trouble.

Putting off a treatment for other medical problems might not be so bad, but a serious hear t problem can mean sudden death. It’s better to go in and get it evaluated than to be dead. Here are some of a myriad of signs and symptoms that may signal heart trouble: - Anxiety is a tricky one especially considering some people’s pace of life!

- Chest discomfort. Pain in the chest is the classic symptom of heart attack, and the number one symptom that we typically look for. But not all heart attacks cause chest pain, and chest pain can stem from ailments that have nothing to do with the heart. Heart-related chest pain is often centred under the breastbone, perhaps a little to the left of centre.

The pain has been likened to ‘an elephant sitting on the chest’, but it can also be an uncomfortable sensation of pressure, squeezing, or fullness.

- Dizziness. Heart attacks can cause light-headedness and loss of consciousness.

- Fatigue. Unusual fatigue can occur during a hear t attack as well as in the days and weeks leading up to one.

And feeling tired all the time may be a symptom of heart failure.

- Pain in other parts of the body. In many heart attacks, pain begins in the chest and spreads to the shoulders, arms, elbows, back, neck, jaw, or abdomen. But sometimes there is no chest pain - just pain in these other body areas. The pain might come and go. Men having a heart attack often feel pain in the left arm. In women, the pain is more likely to be felt in both arms, or between the shoulder blades.

- Rapid or irregular pulse.

A rapid or irregular pulse especially when accompanied by weakness, dizziness, or shor tness of breath - can be evidence of a hear t attack, heart failure, or an arrhythmia. Left untreated, some arrhythmias can lead to ominous consequences.

- Swelling. Heart failure can cause fluid to accumulate in the body. This can cause swelling (often in the feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen) as well as sudden weight gain and sometimes a loss of appetite.

I like to recommend to my patients a heart check up at least once every five years after 40. Your GP can listen to your heart, check pulses, blood pressure and perform an electrocardiogram in just a few minutes! Your dad’s GP should be able to personalize my advice to your dad’s case.

Dear Dr. De La Flor, My doctor told me that my triglycerides are high. I have two relatives with diabetes.

Should I be concerned about diabetes too? Do I need to take medication?

Cheers, Michael

Dear Michael, Simply put, triglycerides are fat. That is, they’re the major form in which our bodies store fat. Fat tissue is made up of cells that fill up with triglycerides. So triglycerides are bad, right? Well, not normally. In fact, we couldn’t live without triglycerides.

My father had a heart attack a few years ago. He now lives with me and sometimes I’m concerned about his aches and complaints. What symptoms should I look for to prevent a new episode?

One reason heart disease is so deadly is that often, hear t symptoms ar en’t always intense or obvious, and they vary from person to person and according to gender. Because it can be hard to make sense of heart symptoms, doctors war n against ignoring possible warning signs, toughing them out, waiting to see if they go away, or being quick to blame them on heartburn, muscle soreness, or other less serious, non-cardiac causes.

That’s especially true for men and people over 60, as well as for people with other cardiac risk factors, such as high cholesterol or blood pressure, obesity, smoking, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.

What’s the problem with having high triglycerides? If triglycerides are fat, and fat is energy, aren’t we just storing more energy? Unfortunately, our bodies often can’t store that extra energy efficiently - and sometimes those extra fat cells can attract other cells that cause problems for your health. For one thing, fat cells tend to attract inflammatory cells. Certain inflammator y cells, called cytokines, compromise the body’s ability to deal with sugar and increase your risk of developing diabetes.

Fat, in the form of triglycerides, also tends to spill over into other tissues, like the liver and the muscle. This seems to predispose these other tissues to not being able to handle sugar properly and thus, again, increases your risk of becoming diabetic.

My advice to you is to tr y a combination of aerobic exercise and healthy eating habits for two to four months.

Consider consulting with a nutritional coach who will be able to customize a dietary plan to meet your individual needs. If you are unable to reach the desirable levels (150 or lower), then and only after then, you should consider medication.

Dr. De La Flor, G.P. is licensed in medicine & general surgery. He holds certificates in nutrition, medical exercise and coaching from the University of Berkeley in California, the American Council on Exercise and the U.S. National Strength & Conditioning Association.

He is a strong believer in work/life balance and spends much of his time outside of his surgery on the tennis court, jogging or chasing his four kids around the neighbourhood.

You can reach the doctor and nutritional coach at 00-34697.888.666 to schedule a consultation in his surgery in Adeje or a medical visit in your home/business.

Living a heat wave

he increasing temperatures of Summer T can have adverse affects on your health if you don’t protect yourself adequately and take appropriate measures. Alejandro Silvera, the nutritionist for local bottled water supplier, Fuentealta, has put together a series of simple questions and answers to guide you on looking after yourself in high temperatures.

Q: What defence mechanism is activated in the human body when there is a heat wave?

A: Higher temperatures means that the body sweats more and therefore loses water and mineral salts which if they are not renewed, can cause health problems.

Q: What steps should I take facing hot weather and what should I avoid?

A: Drink water and other liquids frequently, without waiting for the sensation of thirst, unless your doctor has advised you otherwise.

Avoid tea, coffee, alcoholic drinks or those with gas or lots of sugar. It is important to keep to the following guidelines: refresh yourself with a shower, or splash yourself with water; light meals which help to replace minerals lost by perspiration are better, salads, vegetables, fruit juices; seek shade and protect yourself from the sun covering your head, use good quality sunglasses with ultraviolet filters and apply the appropriate sun creams; avoid intense physical activity outdoors during the hottest part of the day; Fuentealta nutritionist, Alejandro Silvera

in the home it is advisable to keep the blinds down when the sun is shining straight onto the windows and not open the windows when it is hot outside; use air conditioning systems and fans carefully.

Q: When should I drink water and in what quantities to alleviate the effects of the heat?

A: You should drink all day long, especially when your physical activity is at its highest (walking, going shopping, walking the dog) or at the times of day when the temperature is highest (midday and the early afternoon). A healthy adult should be drinking at least 1.5 to two litres of water or other liquids a day which replace lost minerals.

Q: What will happen if I don’t drink enough water?

A: The loss of water and minerals which are produced when we sweat a lot can result in the following symptoms: • Cramps: muscular cramps in legs, stomach or legs, especially if you sweat a lot during an intense physical activity.

• Tiredness: After several days of heat, the excess perspiration reduces body fluid and mineral levels resulting in weakness, tiredness, dizziness, faintness and feeling sick.

• Heat stroke: This is a serious problem where the body is incapable of controlling its temperature, which increases rapidly. The main symptoms are: a red, dry and hot complexion, fast pulse rate, intense headache, confusion and loss of consciousness.

Unsurprisingly, Silvera recommends that we drink Fuentealta as, “an excellent ally in replacing lost water and minerals produced by excess perspiration” combined with fruit juices, infusions, salads, fruit salads and other healthy nourishment with high water and mineral content. Fuentealta (high fountain) is produced in Vilaflor, the highest town in the Canaries at 1,400 metres above sea level. The waters that fill the spring come directly from Teide National Park.

Fabian Fitzner founder and chief trainer of Bfit 24h gyms and Bfit Personal training.

Power, flexibility, coordination, speed and resistance

Are you fit?

T

he Outside Magazine crowned Mr. Mark Allen as, “the fittest man on earth”.

Let’s say this man who has already won the Ironman triathlon six times is the fittest man on earth.

What about any professional decathlete or specialist in the Martial arts? Are they less fit? Even if they beat Mark Allen in power, speed, coordination, flexibility and also have good staying power?

That brings us to the question of fitness actually is.

Before continuing to read this column, think about how you define the word fitness.

If we look back at the example above it should be clear what defines fitness. Fitness is a combination of power, flexibility, coordination, speed and resistance. These are the five motor skills we are able to change by training.

The more skills you are capable of, the fitter you are. A distance runner has good resistance but tends to be bad in power, coordination and flexibility. A weightlifter is good in power, flexibility and coordination but has poor resistance and so on.

In my personal opinion as an experienced personal trainer I would say a decathlete is much fitter than the holder of the Olympic gold medal in the marathon. Do you agree? If not let us look at another example. Let’s compare a bodybuilder to a swimmer. Who is fitter? The first thought will mostly be, ‘the swimmer of course’. However let us break down what these sportsmen or women need to train. A swimmer basically needs resistance. So that is what he or she trains for and a little a bit of power and speed for the sprints of course. Flexibility is not necessary, nor is coordination.

Cool, cool cotton No matter how hotthis summer is

Y

ou can keep your youngsters comfortable in cool to touch, crisp looking cotton.

Your local Benetton store, which you can find in most shopping centres in the Canary Islands, stocks a full range of fashionable, colourful and sensible clothing for kids, for the beach or leisure, to suit all ages.

The bodybuilder needs to train for power, coordination and flexibility. Speed and resistance are not his or her first choices. Do you see how difficult it is to say who is the fitter?

Who is really fit then as we asked above, decathletes or mixed martial arts specialists? They have to be quick (sprints, punches), powerful (spear throws, judo throws), need a good coordination (10 different disciplines or three different martial arts), balance (jumps, kicks), a very good flexibility (high jumps, Jujutsu).

To get fit you should try to practice different sports.

Always try to get better each training session. Don’t focus on just one skill unless it’s your profession.

If you play golf at a high level you would be surprised what happens if you do train in other sports disciplines such as weightlifting or an additional gym work out specially designed for your sport. You can gain more accuracy and length without the necessity of buying new clubs!

If you want to become fit call us at 676243102 or write us an email at info@bfit.es

esidents and visitors alike should consider themselves fortunate that in Tenerife they have such an array of wonderful golf courses to choose from.

On this occasion I am delighted to feature Costa Adeja, Golf Del Sur, Buenavista and Abama - all of which continue to improve both their playing conditions and facilities.

I am extremely grateful to Beatríz Cantero, Executive Promoter of Asociacion de Campos de Golf de Tenerife for arranging my visits to the featured golf clubs and extend my thanks to the Abama Golf Management; Paul Sterck and Laly at Costa Adeje; Directora de Golf Martina Oppald & Head Receptionist Mar Hernández at Buenavista and Maca Rodríguez and Nely Patino at Golf del Sur for their kind hospitality.

Brian Ferris

A

nother beautiful sunny day beckoned as we were welcomed

by General Manager Maca Rodríguez.

The layout consists of three separate nine hole courses - North, South and Links - each unique in their own way and any two are combined to provide eighteen holes of very varied and enjoyable golf.

We collected our buggy with its Prolink satellite navigation system and set off on the North course. The first hole is in pristine condition with a barranco on top of a hill forming a hazard across the fairway before dropping down to a green 100 metres below.

This evidenced the re-modelling project which altered this hole from a Par 5 to a Par 4. Hole 2 provided me with my first par of the day, a straightforward Par 3 over a small valley to an elevated green guarded by black sand bunkers. Improvements to Hole 3 have lengthened it to a Par 5 (previously a Par 4) with a barranco running the length of the fairway to the extended green.

This hole was previously Stroke Index one.

Hole 4 presents an uphill Par 4 with a barranco jutting into the fairway from the right hand side and the green perched on top of a steep hill - nonetheless my second par of the day.

Hole 5 is a long Par 5 extended a couple of years ago, now requiring three good strokes to reach the green within regulation. The Stroke Index one rating is now given to Hole 7 with its pond in front of the green requiring a really good tee shot to avoid having to lay up with the second. Hole 8 is a fairly long Par 3 which warrants the Stroke Index 2 difficulty, with the green guarded by a bunker along the entire front of the green. A straightforward Par 4 brings the North course to a satisfying close.

So, on to the Links with its very attractive first hole with elevated tee and fairway running steeply left to right with green waiting far below. Hole 3 has an attractive water hazard which your drive needs to carry, but then the fairway slopes downhill to the green for a Par 5 which low handicappers will reach in 2 shots. Hole 4 is now a challenging winding Par 5 with both a stream and a lake guarding the new green. Hole 6 is another hole which has changed for the better. Previously a Par 3 over a valley, you now drive from an elevated tee to a narrow target area and from there dog leg left to the green. My final par of the day was presented by Hole 7.

T

hink opulence - think luxury - think the ultimate golfing experience and you may come close to the feeling created by this magnificent course.

We collected our buggy, complete with water on ice, golf towels, tees and sophisticated sat. nav. system. We practised on the putting green and then made our way to the first tee and enjoyed the hole’s undulating uphill fairway. The third hole has four bunkers in front of the green at the end of a long Par 5 making the third approach shot very difficult. The fourth has a large lake hazard at the start of a challenging 200 metre Par 3. The water hazard runs down the left hand side of the fairway to a much contoured green, making putting difficult once you pass the four bunkers guarding the green. Hole 5 features a double dog leg and the Par five 6th presents a narrow target area with a bunker in the centre of the fairway. However, long hitters would be able to reach the undulating green in two.

Hole 7 gave me my first par of the day - the area between the tee and the green being entirely covered by ornamental gardens so carry is required all the way of the 140 metres to the green. The eighth is extremely unusual - a long downhill right-angled dog leg left leading to an elevated green surrounded by bunkers, its narrow fairway making it worthy of its Stroke Index 1 rating. The ninth is another spectacular hole featuring a natural waterfall in a barranco splitting the fairway. The fairway of the Par 5 tenth curves around three separate ponds to reach a contoured green. The eleventh fairway drops steeply down with the approach shot to the green crossing a water hazard. Be warned of the fate that may await you on and surrounding the 13th Green. Three deep bunkers guard the front; a grass bank rises steeply at the rear; and the super fast green itself slopes back towards the bunkers. Needless to say, I experienced the elation of playing (for me) an excellent escape shot out of the bunker to the base of the slope at the back of the green; only to suffer the ignominy of putting back down the green, past the pin and straight back into the bunker. This was the only hole on which I failed to score in achieving a highly respectable 33 Stableford Points on such a challenging course.

The fifteenth requires a long carry to reach the fairway and its elevated green is guarded by five bunkers. The Par 4 sixteenth features a lake with a natural waterfall to

hy should we suffer noise nuisance and sleepless nights?...

I wish to comment on recent newspaper articles referring to the lack of nightlife in the south and that this type of business is going to be encouraged in the future. Whilst I am in full agreement that certain areas in the south may benefit from this type of attraction, it is my opinion that the correct location for this type of entertainment needs to be found. I would ask the planning departments of the Ayuntamientos concerned to take a serious view when considering planning applications to ensure that the building and location is suitable for the

I am one of a group of people consisting of home owners and residents who are constantly battling against noise nuisance in the form of loud music, which is causing sleepless nights and preventing us from enjoying our own homes.

We believe that there are other communities with similar problems and we would like to ask anyone affected by noise nuisance to contact us with a view to getting together in our fight against it.

where not a single member of staff was Spanish or spoke Spanish. Many English restaurants don’t even have Spanish menus.

I could not imagine a restaurant in England where the menus were only in Urdu or Chinese, could you?

T

his is a reply to the letter by V Keary from Adeje, edition 622

Perhaps you think that Spanish kids are not polite enough, but let me explain that saying “thank you” all the time is seen as odd in the Spanish culture.

It is not a sign of rudeness to not use it at every opportunity.

Perhaps you are one of those people who live here for years on end and don’t bother to learn the language or anything about the Spanish culture and then complain when something is not “the English way”.

Let me tell you what rude is: Arrogance. I have been to many English run bars and restaurants here in Tenerife,

Regards.

Daniela Herzberg & Roger Keller are based in the south-west of Tenerife. They both are certified Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology consultants and Cosmic Healers and work and teach in Tenerife and Germany. Their comprehensive knowledge about Feng Shui, Chinese Astrology and the five elements is a result of their work with Derek Walters, one of the most respected Feng Shui masters in the world. They have published several books about Chinese Astrology and how to increase your health and vitality with the five elements, with recipes from all over the world.

 Rat (1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008) Love is in the air for the Rat! You will be making a great impression. Be careful however working your charm on overdrive may give others the wrong impression.  Ox (1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009) At work, your talents are recognised and rewarded.

Be sure to ask for that rise you were looking for.

Don’t be afraid of more responsibilities. Take charge of your personal relationships.  Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998) There’s a lot of room for positive change as you find yourself in a flurry of activity these days. Your creative juices are really flowing so put some of your ideas into action.  Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999) Don’t get involved with other people’s problems or you’ll find yourself the centre or focus of them. Be careful and stay clear of any potential issues with authorities- this is not the time to fight.  Dragon (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000) Those in a relationship should try to avoid arguments, be more understanding and do not succumb to third party advances. Decisions of the heart made now may not be the most favourable.  Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001) Watch your finances. Be sure to think twice before doing anything and try to lay as low as you can.

Minimise mixing business with pleasure as you may slip up when your guard is down.  Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002) Productivity will be intoxicating and you will bite off more than you can chew. So be ambitious but don’t over-stretch yourself or you will burn out.

Times like these will draw you much closer.  Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005) If things are running fine, stick to the status quo. This is not the time for big changes. If you have to work in a team, make sure everything is documented from the start.  Dog (1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006) It’s a great time to meet new people who may help you in your endeavours and to strengthen existing bonds. Tap into the impatience you have now to push yourself past your usual boundaries.  Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007) Be on the lookout for people of higher status or greater experience who can help take you to the next level. Be open and give and you will be guaranteed a bountiful return.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 623 :: 13/08/2010 - 27/08/2010

Tenerife South the right and another elevated green guarded by three bunkers. The seventeenth is the most difficult Par 5, the tee shot needing to cross a stream to reach the fairway which narrows as it meanders uphill to its elevated green guarded by six bunkers. Finally the eighteenth features a narrow fairway with a double dog leg winding itself downhill to a stream and up to an elevated tee, guarded by yet more coral white sand bunkers.

STAR HOLE -

Difficult to choose from 18 gems, but my vote goes to the highly unusual eighth.

Green fees through to April 2011 range from €200 per day, to €360 for three days which can be spread over a maximum period of fifteen days. If staying at the Abama Hotel the daily rate reduces to €90 during the summer and €150 in winter. So, for a special occasion it would make a wonderful birthday or anniversary gift for a loved one.

This is a truly unique setting designed by Dave Thomas in American style with huge challenging greens, 96 bunkers and more than 50,000 tropical palms and trees lining the course. A rolling course whose lowest point is 75 metres above sea level and its highest point, the fifth hole, at 315 metres.

This really is ‘Golf as good as it gets’ ABAMA. 38687 GUIA DE ISORA. TELEPHONE 922 126 300.

Golf Costa Adeje A

warm welcome was extended by Laly, who has worked here since the course opened in 1998. We collected our buggy, with its sophisticated sat. nav. system giving distances in a choice of yards or metres and tee-ed off at our allotted time.

Unusually, this course features the original dry stone walls from its time as a vineyard as hazards crossing some fairways. I played it on a sunny day with only a very light breeze.

The first main challenge comes at the third - an attractive par 5 - where you need to drive over a barranco to achieve the optimum position on the fairway. The fourth, SI 5 is a very scenic par 4 with an elevated tee, fairway crossed by dry stone walls dropping down to a green protected by front right greenside bunker on top of cliffs. This hole is surely one of the most attractive in Tenerife, with the fairway sloping down to the cliff

top above the sea where the green appears in the distance set amongst tall palm trees.

The fifth hole is my least personal favourite with a substantial area of barranco between tee and green filled with cacti - in the middle of which I located my ball! To compensate, the sixth is a straightforward uphill fairway with a many contoured green guarded by another walled hazard.

The par 3 seventh is routed over a deep ravine with barrancos on three sides making for a virtual island green which merits its ranking of stroke index 3. The eighth, a double dog leg par 5 is just about reachable in two but beware of the barranco to the right of the fairway acting as a magnet to your ball. The ninth, a long uphill par 4 identified by its MacKenzie green on two levels concludes a very varied and enjoyable front nine.

Another MacKenzie green can be found on the twelfth, one of the shorter par fours, easily reached in regulation.

However, with the flag on the upper level, putting proves very difficult. The fourteenth also deserves a special mention as it is highly unusual to find a green on three levels in steps, making it even more difficult if the flag is on the middle section and your ball is at the back of the highest level! Finally, the eighteenth has an unusual fairway target area being split into five different sections separated by dry stone wall terracing.

STAR HOLE Par 4 fourth.

And so on to The Lakes.

Los Lagos is a superb nine hole course, which is the latest addition to the Costa Adeje complex. It can be played separately or together with the front or back nine of the Championship Course.

Although this is a relatively short nine hole layout of 2,223 metres and featuring four Par 3s, it nonetheless provides a good challenge to novice and experienced golfers alike.

The opening two holes both Par 4s - are considered the two most difficult by their stroke index and are followed by the first Par 3, which measures 150 metres over a barranco.

The fifth hole is possibly unique in the world of golf.

It is only a short Par 3, but its length is roughly equal to the drop from the cliff top tee down to the green below, thus forming a right-angled triangle. Vertigo sufferers, however, may not share my enthusiasm as they prepare to tee off by peering over the edge!

37

Equilibrium restored, you are then faced with a long Par 5, which threads its way between the course boundary and a lake and is my ‘Star Hole’ of Los Lagos. An attractive Par 3 over water follows, before the concluding holes a straightforward Par 4 and a final long testing Par 3 brings the round to a highly satisfying close.

It is worth noting that junior golf is encouraged, particularly at Los Lagos 9 hole par 66 course as juniors play free of charge if accompanying an adult. I can report that I found both the Championship and Los Lagos course and greens in even better condition than my last visit.

This course remains a highly popular, renowned and challenging golfing experience which should not be missed. I found the course to be in its best condition since opening twelve years ago. The greenside bunkers are now filled with high quality white coral sand and the greens are fast but receptive. Even though the Championship Course was busy, play flowed well and the round was completed in less than four hours.

Costa Adeje is currently offering 18 holes for €57 and 18 holes + Buggy + Full Buffet for €86 per person.

EDITION 623 :: 13/08/2010 - 27/08/2010 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

ONLY A TRUE GOLFER WILL UNDERSTAND THIS:

Golf Facts:

Don’t buy a putter until you’ve had a chance to throw it.

Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing, Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.

The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one criti-

cal unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors.

If you’re afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you

Tenerife North

Buenavista Golf T

his course is hidden away in the far North West corner of Tenerife, situated on the coast between the village of Buenavista del Norte and the most westerly point of the island Punta De Teno.

The course, designed by Seve Ballesteros, was opened in October 2003 and was honoured in its first year by being chosen to host the Ladies P.G.A. European Tour. An achievement repeated in July this year. Wonderful views afforded by many highly elevated tees, dog legs, rocky cliffs and water hazards make every hole a pleasure but some deserve special mention.

The third with its sharp dog leg left and green guarded by two front bunkers is a difficult hole to negotiate. The sixth gives lovely views out to sea and my first lost ball following a blind second shot. The seventh is the most difficult and I lost a second ball in the rough - a long dog leg right with a narrow target area for your drive. The waterfall and fountain make the ninth a particularly attractive if tricky hole and the tenth is surely one of the most spectacular in Tenerife, where two fairways cross and a painted figure 10 on the fairway provides the clue for your tee shot. Last year, the green had been damaged by salt spray, due to its proximity to the sea, but I am pleased to report that this problem has been solved and the green is back to its pristine best. Criss-crossing the tenth is the awesome thirteenth, another Par 5 with highly elevated tee and far away green on the edge of the cliff over-

looking the ocean. This requires a strong drive to carry to the fairway situated at the base of a cliff. I lost another ball at Hole 14, an uphill Par 4 with natural volcanic rock and plants nestling to the right of the fairway leaving a narrow target area for your drive. You pass a small chapel on the left as you approach the 18th tee, but it is perhaps a little too late to pray for divine intervention! A large pond in front of the green provides a final challenge to complete an excellent golfing experience.

The uniquely designed clubhouse complements this amazing course perfectly to provide both an excellent start and end to a wonderful day’s golf. The adequate locker room was equipped with superb power showers - with heads twice the size of even the most modern-day drivers - to freshen up at the end of the round. Finally, the bar/restaurant provides a full service all day, ranging from typical Canarian tapas to fillet steak; all at competitive prices.

Green Fee €76 with discount available for residents, with a summer offer, residents only - four players and two buggies for the cost of three green fees: €187.50 To complement the golf, a new luxury Vincci Hotel has opened adjoining the course making Buenavista an ideal venue for a golfing weekend away or a midweek break.

can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.

If it ain’t broke, try changing your grip.

A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents’ luck.

It is surprisingly easy to hole a fifty foot putt. For a 10.

Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.

It’s not a gimme if you’re still away from the hole.

The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the centre of a very large tree.

There are two kinds of bounces; unfair bounces and bounces just the way you meant to play it.

You can hit a two acre fairway 10 per cent of the time and a two inch branch 90 per cent of the time.

If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.

Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.

When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.

Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods does,

simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.

To calculate the speed of a player’s downswing, multiply the speed of his backswing by his handicap: i.e. back-swing 20mph, handicap 28, downswing = 560mph.

There are two things you can learn by stopping your back-swing at the top and checking the position of your hands: How many hands you have and which one is wearing the glove.

Hazards attract; fairways repel.

You can put a draw on the ball, you can put a fade on the ball, but no golfer can put a straight on the ball.

A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.

It’s easier to get up at 6am to play golf than at 10am to mow the lawn.

Sometimes it seems as though your cup movath over.

A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.

Golf is the perfect thing to do on a Sunday because you always end up having to pray a lot.

A good golf partner is one who’s always slightly worse than you are… that’s why I get so many calls to play with friends.

That rake by the sand trap is there for golfers who feel guilty about skipping out on the lawn work.

If there’s a storm rolling in, you’ll be having the game of your life.

A Golfing Widow’s Lament Beware of the call of that silly white ball For you will remember the day When he heeded the call of that dimpled white ball And it lured your husband away.

It would start with a miss and then absolute bliss When he put it away within par He would leave with a kiss and come back in a tizz When his drive didn’t go very far.

If his irons lack the power, he’ll turn very sour And blame his bad luck on his clubs Within the next hour just after his shower He’ll be listening to friends at the pubs.

At the range he’ll be driving while you will be striving To cook him a nice family dinner And he’ll be conniving instead of arriving To get clubs that will make him a winner.

I need a new putter you’ll hear him mutter And the wedge really isn’t much good As you start to splutter he’ll go on to mutter That he also needs a new wood.

I won’t mention the cost, I would only be lost It honestly seems neverending Winter mitts for the frost, trouble wood when he’s crossed A new driver his swing to be mending.

His first hole-in-one - it had to be done He finally got it together Now not to be outdone, he plays with our son They enjoy it whatever the weather.

Now I’ve often said as we’re lying in bed It’s as good for the goose as the gander So before I am dead, it is now in my head To play golf and make life so much grander!

Seasonal food

Summer fish T

he king of fish dishes in the Spanish Summer is without doubt fresh sardines.

Sardines are one of the most popular oily fish in the summer season and this is when they reach their peak. Many of the summer festivities all over the country offer a ‘sardinada’ of grilled sardines. With its tasty flesh and rich in healthy oils it is the perfect option for a barbeque and they are usually served fresh and whole, or if they are very large, in fillets.

Fresh sardines should be firm to the touch, with brilliant eyes which are not sunk in, not strongly scented and with scales firmly attached. It is not recommended to keep them even in a refrigerator for more than two days. In fact it is best to buy them at the last minute before your feast. The smaller examples are perfect for scrambled eggs or tortilla once they

have been cleaned and boned. The meat tends to be finer and more delicate and suited to frying, battering, dipping in flour, with just a touch of garlic or with a Bilbaína sauce (a blend of garlic, parsley and hot pepper or vinegar).

ore success for the new dairy, Finca de Uga, in Lanzarote.

Larger fish are also suited to being battered, fried or served with a garlic sauce, but the biggest of them are delicious grilled or barbecued whole, without filleting and with the head.

Over most of the Spanish peninsula coastline and in some cities and towns in the interior there are various ways of grilling or barbecuing sardines, but one of the most attractive is that which is known as espetones in Malaga, moragas in Granada and al espeto in Galicia. This consists of preparing a pile of glowing charcoal and placing the sardines around the heat source on spikes of cane.

After taking nine prizes including two silvers and a bronze in the 2009 edition of the World Cheese Awards held in Gran Canaria, they have now taken a gold medal in the Canarian Agricultural Department’s annual competition and the overall winning position. The winning cheese on this occasion was their Rojillo, a pasteurised goat cheese, semi-cured and spread with paprika. The Finca also won the award for best image

and presentation. Other gold medals were awarded in the various categories to: Tofio ahumado and Rio Cabras from Fuerteventura, Laderas del Sol from La Palma, Roque Grande and Montaña Gorda from Gran Canaria and Finca de Uga again, this time for their Flor de las Nieves.

Finca de Uga also won a silver medal, as did Maxorata, La Pastora and El Tofio in Fuerteventura, El Manchón and Quesos Minervino from La Palma and Quesos Los Altos de Moya, Quesos Las Mesas and Cortijo de Pavón in Gran Canaria.

The new cheesemakers at Finca de Uga are reaping successes

The second prize of €800 went to Tasca El Escondite in Costa del Silencio and the third prize of €600 to Duogar, also in Las Galletas.

Sweet try Highland success The Cabildo’s Casa del Vino, La Baranda, in El Sauzal is to include honeys in its tasting rooms.

There are currently 569 beekeepers in Tenerife and over 13,000 hives producing a multitude of different honeys. Many are from a single flower or combination of selected flowers.

The honeys offered to taste will change as the wines do; starting with the intense flavour of a chestnut flower honey and two milder and creamier honeys such as those produced using the Tajinaste and Tedera flowers. The Casa del Vino shop will also stock Tenerife honeys for sale.

Representatives of Tenerife’s tourism sector are delighted with the warm welcome they received in Edinburgh.

Tenerife gastronomy was on offer during the A Taste of Spain event organised by the Spanish Tourist Board which drew thousands of people to the Scottish capital. Teide stones and the island’s famous mojo sauces were on offer to the over 30,000 who attended the Tenerife stand along with a mass of information on the island in an attempt to draw more visitors. Tenerife’s tourism councillor, José Manuel

Bermúdez underlined, “the great welcome that the island always has from the Scots, for whom we are a preferred holiday destination”.

Enotourism

Wine routes

Tenerife’s wine route is proving a spectacular success Spain has a total of 21 wine routes which are visited by over a million and a half tourists a year and one of the latest additions here in the islands is proving profitable with the average tourist spending €100. The majority of tourists who seem to

be enjoying this type of activity at the moment are those who stay in four and five star hotels and tend to be Spanish nationals (93 per cent) perhaps because of the lack of advertising undertaken by the sector as a whole in the foreign press. Tegueste, Tacoronte, El Sauzal, La Laguna and La Orotava are visited at the moment in Tenerife and Ycoden Daute Isora and Lanzarote are also now trying to set up their own routes.

Helpful hints for around the house

Hanging an internal door Part 2

I

n the last edition, we discussed measuring up, cutting to size and planing. Now we will fit the door.

Mark where you are going to fit the hinges, which should be about 23cm from the top and bottom of the door.

Cutting the hinge housings is the next job. If the existing hinge housings on the frame are to be used again, then simply check that the new hinge screw holes are correctly aligned. Fit the hinges to the frame jamb using just one screw in each hinge.

Cut out the housing using a sharp beveled edge chisel. Fit the hinges using one screw only in each. Using wedges to support the door, hang it in place with, again, just one screw holding each hinge in the jamb housing. Check that the door closes correctly with clearance all round. If necessary, remove the door and adjust the hinge recesses.

To make a pocket for a mortise lock, first drill a series of holes, then chisel out between them to square off the recess.

You will need to drill a hole for the handle and lock. Be sure to get the correct distance from the spindle to the edge of the door. When you attach the door knobs to the spindle, be careful not to make them too tight or you won’t be able to turn them!

Clinica Dental Medical Implant

Dental tourism in Tenerife

By Mario Rivera

I

n the last few years in Europe and especially these days where the talk is of a world crisis, Europeans are travelling to other countries to obtain more economical dental services. This phenomenon is called dental tourism and consists of having dental treatments in other countries.

The high costs and ever increasing waiting lists encourage patients in the central countries such as the United States, Canada and the UK to look for dentistry treatment abroad.

Whilst the Americans are mainly worried about the exorbitant costs, the Canadians face the problems caused by long waiting lists for certain treatments. Approximately a million Canadians confirmed they were having problems obtaining specific treatments.

And it is believed that over 50,000 people travel from the UK each year for treatment because of the high costs of treatment in their country.

The most attractive aspect

of this phenomenon is that savings can total up to 70 per cent depending on the treatment and the country where it is carried out. Even taking into account the cost of the flights, hotels, travel insurance, car hire, shopping and eating out, many holidays which include dental attention are substantially cheaper than having the same treatment locally.

This means that those who choose dental tourism have the opportunity to be treated by some of the best surgeons in the world and at the same time enjoy a holiday. Patients can use the money they save on their dental treatment to turn their journey into a first class break. For millions of patients, it is the only way to get the dental treatment they need or want, without using a lifetime’s savings. What’s more the European Union explicitly support the transnational treatment of patients within the EU. Many years ago, the main destination countries were in Latin America, Budapest and other Central European countries. Recently the Canary

Islands have become the dental tourism destination for Europeans.

For example in Tenerife, the Clinica Dental Medical Implant is specially designed to receive foreign patients who are dental tourists.

The advantages which Medical Implant offer us are extraordinary.

The clinic, which specialises in the delicate sector of implantology, implants and prosthesis, is fully equipped with the latest technology. Their multi-discipline team is completely prepared to treat patients from other countries, they speak English as well as other languages such as German, Italian and French.

The medical team is made up of professionals trained in Europe, a multi-discipline team of specialist dentists, maxillofacial surgeons and anaesthetists. Another advantage is that they have their own dental laboratory, which makes the client treatment quicker and easier, and avoids unnecessary delays. What’s more they offer free transport to take the tourist or resident who needs

it to and from their accommodation to the clinic and Medical Implant has a chain of clinics across Europe which cooperate with them to ensure dental treatment continuity and cover for patients treated in the islands who live or travel frequently to Europe.

Their director, Aldo Della Schiava, explained to us how it works, “we see the patient from the first appointment and accompany them all the time inside and outside the surgery, offering an integral service with European professionals, guaranteed materials, good prices, free transport and a follow up when they return to their country”, and he added, “here, in my clinic, we offer a personalised attention and there isn’t one single patient who I do not see”.

This exclusive and high level of attention brings results and a positive success and popularity for the clinic which currently has an increasingly busy schedule of appointments for dental tourism.

VW

VW biggest sellers D

uring the first six months of this year, Volkswagen has been the highest selling vehicle brand in the Canary Islands.

This result consolidates Volkwagen’s leadership in the islands over the last few years. The company has sold a total of 2,271 vehicles in the Canaries of which 2,096 were cars. This figure represents a market quota of 14.3 per cent and highlights the ongoing strength of Volkswagen Canarias.

Competition

Win with Repsol R

egister with Repsol for the chance to win free fuel cards and dream holidays.

Skoda Fabia RS

The fastest ever Skoda Fabia has now arrived in the Canaries.

I

t’s the second sporty vehicle in the range and joins the Octavia RS. This new car has been developed taking into account the knowledge and experience gained by Skoda Motorsport with the Fabia S2000 and the result is a stylish, sporty vehicle which is fun to drive.

The Fabia RS’s sporty style can be found throughout the vehicle.

The chassis is 15mm lower than the Fabia, it has a modified front spoiler, a rear spoiler and daytime LED running lights and curve illumination. The RS logo, which identifies Skoda’s most sporty vehicles, can be found on the honeycombstyle front grille. The brake pads are painted red and clearly visible

through the 17-inch aluminium wheels which are available in four different colours. The car also has tinted glass, a newly styled rear bumper and double stainless steel exhaust trims.

You can personalise the bodywork colour of your Fabia RS as there are various combinations to choose from, while the spoiler and the roof are available in black or white.

Inside, the car has exclusive RS sports seats, a three-spoke leather steering wheel, leather covered handbrake, stainless steel anti-slip pedals, climatic air conditioning, and a radio with CD and MP3 player with a multimedia MDI connection.

Safety equipment includes ABS, ESP, tyre pressure sensor and hill

start assist. Within ESP is an innovative electronic anti-skid system called XDS which not only gives more precise steering but also the car handles more like a 4x4 than a front-wheel drive. There’s also a multi-function computer on board.

Optional equipment includes an electric glass sunroof, bi-zone climate control, Amundsen navigation system and rear parking sensor.

The Fabia RS is supplied with a 1.4-litre TSI engine which uses a turbo for high revolutions and a compressor for low revs and reaches 180hp, accelerating from zero to 100km/h in only 7.3 seconds. Its top speed is 224 km/h and it consumes only 6.4 litres per 100km with CO2 emissions of

148gm/km. This engine is complemented by the award winning seven speed DSG gearbox combining the virtues of an automatic and manual box, for which the optional steering column mounted paddles are recommended.

The Skoda Fabia RS is available in the Canaries in two versions: the Limo and the Combi, which is ideal for those wanting a sporty vehicle which is also useful for practical day to day family trips.

Recently presented at the Skoda dealers Cuatromoción in Santa Cruz, the Fabia RS is available from your nearest dealer priced from €16,490. For more information, visit www.skoda.es.

If you answer the daily question correctly you could win one of ten €20 cards for fuel and enter a draw each month for two holidays for two worth €2,000 with €500 spending money.

Use the Repsol Guide to design your dream holiday. What route will you take? Which hotels, bars, restaurants and bodegas will you visit? Write it all down and submit it to the Repsol judges and you could win €10,000 for the holiday of your dreams.

Boxing

By George Reed

One fight too many

I

f the recent Sunday Times rich list is to be believed, Manchester’s Ricky Hatton has £29 million to his name, so it’s obviously not money which has given the ‘Hitman’ thoughts of returning to the ring after his disastrous outing against poundfor pound king Manny Pacquiao some fifteen months ago.

Although many in the fight game feel that he should officially retire after the brutal way in which his last fight ended, Ricky has renewed his pro boxing licence, with many fans and supporters feeling that he can still cut it amongst the prospects of the junior welterweight division, a division in which he was still rated at number three by the American Ring Magazine only a few months ago. But does Ricky need to step into a ring with the likes of Amir Khan or the American number one in the world ratings, Timothy Bradley, two very fast sharp shooters, who at this stage of Ricky’s career could possibly humiliate him, something that neither I or any of his many fans would like to see happen.

The theme is familiar, for throughout boxing history, the humiliation of leading fighters who were tempted to return to the ring for one last shot at splendour is a long one.

It happened to two of my favourite modern day fighters during the last couple of years. In December 2008, the once great Oscar De La Hoya took on the Filipino, Manny Pacquiao. De La Hoya was made to look older than his years, as Pacquiao knocked him about from pillar to post and he retired from the fight at the end of the eighth round.

In a more recent contest in Manchester, the great Mexican battler Marco Antonio Barrera was pitched in with young Amir Khan, but was never in the fight as Khan methodically picked him apart, before the referee stopped the fight to save the great former world champion from further punishment and humiliation. It was a sad sight on both occasions to witness the two former multi world champions take such a pasting.

‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard, one of the all time greats, once stated, “a fighter never knows when it’s the last bell. He doesn’t want to face it”. And he didn’t for over the last ten years of his career, he officially retired four times. Fortunately Leonard retired with his faculties intact and well-off financially. He’s still in the game with his speaking engagements and business ventures, and apparently happy and peaceful. I’m sure Ricky Hatton will follow the same path, for he’s already made a start with his successful after dinner shows and his boxing promotions, which must keep Britain’s most popular boxer busy enough, without the hard slog of training to do battle in the square ring once again.

Over 150 sportsmen and women from 12 countries have gathered together to measure themselves against each other in freestyle and wave competitions. The wind and

Basketball

Merger dispute The formal merger of Tenerife’s two biggest basketball sides could prove more damaging than predicted, with both clubs facing the prospect of losing fans.

Tenerife Baloncesto and Socas Canarias combine from September in the tough LEB league, one of Europe’s best, after the merger

was forced on them by the island authorities for financial reasons.

Just one of the pair (Socas Canarias) will continue in the division, while Tenerife Baloncesto are set to field a junior side in the lower EBA category. One of the conditions of the process is that home games of the newly unified club will be played at the 5,000seater Santiago Martín Stadium,

Pestano blank continues Athletics

The poor fortunes of Tenerife discus thrower Mario Pestano in major competitions continued with a disappointing European Championship in Barcelona.

The Arona giant, as usual, was among the medal favourites on the basis of his throws in minor meets but once again his nerve let him down on the big occasion.

Although impressive in qualifying, when he threw just under 65 metres (the third top mark), Pestano could not match the performance when it most mattered and ended up sixth, a long way behind Poland’s Piotr Malachowski (68.87). He has now failed to fulfil his potential in successive world championships, Olympics and now the European championships.

The organisers have also arranged parallel activities such as Team Building and a climbing wall for visitors to the area.

not Canarias’ traditional home court in the centre of La Laguna, which is widely acknowledged as the most intimidating in the country by opponents. Many Canarias fans angered by the move have already said they will not make the short trek down the motorway to the other stadium, while die-hard Tenerife fans are adamant they will not pay to watch, “another club” and have called the merger a betrayal designed to consolidate the Canarias club and enable it to make a bid for promotion to the ACB league.

World championships

Spring / Summer league titles almost decided!

W

ith the Soccer Experience Masters Spring / Summer League coming to an end soon and the Over 35s league just a few games behind, we have just seen some crucial games with the titles for both all but decided.

de cotta mckenna & santafé English Lawyers and Spanish Abogados

Masters League summary: John Parkes and his Taylor’s Lounge Masters side, after many a season trying to get their hands on the Masters League title, are almost there after this week’s victory over Keondas Restaurant.

Taylor’s Masters moved even further away from the other title challengers and with this win Taylor’s also move closer to doing something special with an undefeated season!

The battle for second spot still goes on with victories for The Rovers and Spanish Style and it makes the race to finish in second spot rather interesting until the end of this season.

Exiles versus Carlsberg Championship season is turning out to be the most exciting thus far!

Championship Over 35s summary: summary: This season is one of the most hotly contested seasons to date with any of the sides capable of beating each other, yet four teams seem to be breaking away after round one.

Big Damo’s Zurich Spartans have been a revelation this season after a tough first season and along with Mike’s boys of Pepsi FC who have been the surprise package so far this season, Tenerife Solicitors are ever present and are strongly fancied as well as Pueblo Torviscas, a side which seems to be getting stronger with every game especially with the help of the ‘Silver Fox’ Otch from Liverpool while he is on the island during the summer! Not forgetting at this early stage some of the other teams could also join the leaders with just a couple of back to back wins, all in all this

Spanish residents have until August 19 to enter a free draw for tickets to watch the world basketball final in Turkey.

With just a few games remaining Shaine and his L.A. Masters side move even closer to the title needing just one more win to confirm the title that they desperately want to win and they also have the chance of making it a great season without a loss, a feat that in any league is truly remarkable.

All results, league positions and up and coming fixtures on all the leagues are available on: www.soccerexperience.com

New seasons ahead transfer window and gossip: With two League seasons coming towards the end there

has been huge amounts of talk and the transfers and brown envelopes are already being negotiated just maybe not quite for the fees some other leagues in the newspapers are reporting, the highest transfer fee we believe so far is John Parkes of Taylor’s who is rumoured to be offering his pearls of wisdom for any new potential signings free of charge!

Teams looking for players: The new seasons ahead look to be very interesting with each team strengthening their squads it will surely be another enjoyable Soccer Experience for all.

Some teams are on the look out for new players to fill spaces in our multi national teams throughout each of the leagues so despite your age, fitness or ability a place can be found for all or maybe you and your friends would like to enter your own team. If so, please contact us by text / calling on: 654 200470 or email soccer@ soccerexperience.com also lots more info on the leagues on: www.soccerexperience.com.

Teams and captain profiles: 

Blair Macrorie:

One of the Soccer Experience Captains Blair Macrorie from Exiles Bar, Costa del Silencio has been an ever present Soccer Experience member and as the Director of Football for Exiles Bar, Blair manages and plays like Billy Bremmner in all his three teams (his tough tackling and silky play is the reference to Billy not his ‘Ginger hair’).

With the help of his brother (a Tenerife darts legend) Calum, they somehow manage to make a success with all three teams. Blair has some of the most colourful players in his squads with the ever cheery Darren Kemp and (just shoot) Satellite Dave along with his very own ‘Bob Marley’ young Kyle put them together with the friendliest man in Tenerife and the biggest Birmingham FC fan on the island Mr. Shammy and you just have a few of the Exiles Bar football army. Blair himself is not too shabby as a player and he has been truly instrumental in the overall success of the leagues despite the dodgy haircuts and constant shouting of Roger!

(Ref). Also Blair enters a team in the annual Soccer Experience International Masters tournament and his team would do very well if it was a one day tournament as they play really well on days one and two but for some reason the rehydration fluids at night seem to affect the performance on day three.... One of Blair’s Soccer Experience highlights was playing against one of his Liverpool FC idols Bruce Grobbelaar when he played in one of the Soccer Experience international tournaments.

Another major highlight was in the 2008 International tournament when Blair was voted player of the tournament by the ex Professional stars he played against!

Hopefully Blair and the Exiles boys will win something for Tenerife when the tournament is held again this November! All of us at Soccer Experience want to say a big thanks to Blair, Calum and the Exiles players for all their support and look forward to one of the Exiles Bar teams winning a Soccer Experience title soon.

CD Tenerife

Teide Trophy CD Tenerife 1 Zaragoza 0

Marc Bertran lifts the Teide Trophy

T

enerife warmed up for the start of the season with another impressive victory against La Liga side Real Zaragoza.

Their two previous pre-season wins against lower league teams, Marino 0-4 and UD Ibarra 2-5, had been expected but the Zaragoza game provided the blanquiazules with their first real test. A steamy Los Cuartos Stadium in La Orotava was at bursting point as over 6,000 fans attended the game eager to see the ‘new’ Tenerife side. The style of play of new coach Arconada is very similar to ex-boss Oltra with hopefully a more resolute defence! The tick-a-taka football may not be of the same class as Spain and FC Barcelona but that is the philosophy of the new look team.

The first half started with Tenerife pushing forward with great enthusiasm.

Young winger Omar created havoc down the wings with his trickery and he could well be one of the stars of the season. The deadlock was broken on just

CD Tenerife

Spain lose out

Spain’s footballing juniors narrowly failed to emulate the historic feats of their world-beating senior counterparts in this year’s European Under19 Championships.

The young Spaniards, led by new Real Madrid signing Sergio Canales and Liverpool’s Daniel Pacheco, lost the final 2-1 to hosts France but can be proud of themselves for the standard of football delivered throughout the competition.

The final was a re-run of the Under-17 final two years ago which Spain won. The championships will be remembered for the audacious penalty scored by Ezequiel Calvente in a group match against Italy, which has become a You Tube sensation.

Tenerife starlet

Madrid-bound

Another teenage footballer from Tenerife has been snapped up by a big Spanish side.

11 minutes as Ricardo found Nino in the box and the goalking, who has just signed a new three year deal to stay in Tenerife, finished in emphatic style. Zaragoza had enjoyed a good pre-season and had been on tour in England last week beating Wigan 1-3.

Half-time brought the usual batch of substitutions for a friendly game and the second half lost some of its intensity.

Zaragoza substitutes included ex-Liverpool player Jermaine Pennant who came off the bench. He had been transfer listed in the summer but he is now fighting to keep his place

at the La Liga club. As frustration grew for the visitors a few rash tackles started to fly around and this ignited the game once again for the final stages. Tenerife had chances to increase their lead with impressive new signing Natalio coming close and Marc Bertran making several penetrating runs into the box.

This Tenerife side promises great things this season.

Zaragoza could hardly muster a serious effort on goal during the closing minutes and the blanquiazules deservedly won the match 1-0. Omar won the Man of the Match

and Captain Marc Bertran collected the Teide Trophy from Dámaso Arteaga of the Island council. Tenerife now moves on to the mainland for three more matches against UD Almeria, Orihuela and a three way tournament against Real Betis and Benidorm. Their final warm up game will be the official presentation game on the 20th/21st of August in the Heliodoro Stadium in Santa Cruz.

The rival has not yet been confirmed but rumours suggest that it will be a top Greek or Turkish side, possibly Besiktas.

he will he/won’t he saga has finally ended as goal king Nino committed himself for three more years at CD Tenerife.

The great news was welcome as Nino has become more than just a goalscorer for the team, he has become the symbol of the blanquiazules. Rumours had circulated all summer about the transfer of Nino to new rich kids Malaga or perhaps Zaragoza but the price tag of €6 million set by Tenerife scuppered any deal. In his last two seasons he has bagged 43 goals and 14 of those were scored in last season’s frustrating campaign in La Liga. The local media ti-

tled the deal as the, “Signing of the Summer” and “Half a promotion comes from Nino`s feet”. At a press conference

held last week in the Heliodoro Stadium, Nino was presented by CD Tenerife President Miguel Concepción and di-

rector of football Santiago Llorente. Concepción stated that Nino, “is a model professional and we hope he will spend the rest of his playing days at our club”. The three year deal ties Nino, who has just turned 30 years old, until June 2014.

The pocket size striker replied to questions by reporters saying that, “I am very happy here and my family have integrated well into Island life,” he added, “the fans have shown me a tremendous amount of affection and that is one of the main reasons why I am staying even though I have received some succulent offers with more money promised

by Primera League Clubs this summer”.

15-year-old Federico Oliveira Núñez, who was on the wanted list of both Barcelona and Real Madrid, has chosen the latter after the Catalan giants delayed a decision on whether to sign him. Núñez was born in Uruguay but moved to the Canaries as a youngster and played for junior side Sobradillo last year. His progress was monitored closely by several scouts from the mainland and he was invited recently by Real Madrid to see the club’s nursery set-up.

He immediately signed up for the Under-18s and begins his new life in Madrid on 17 August, joining La Laguna’s Spain U-18 international Omar Mascarell, who was snapped up

by Real a few months ago.

Seville FC

Loan link repeated

The good links between Tenerife and Seville have produced another player loan, which the Canarian club says is a vital cog in its plans for the coming season.

Central defender David Prieto has joined the islanders on a one-year loan but must return to the First Division side next summer after Seville rejected a purchase option clause in the agreement. Prieto played last season for Xerez, who were relegated in June along with Tenerife and said he had no reservations about spending the year here, particularly since the move was highly recommended by his close friend Alejandro Alfaro, who was also loaned out by Seville and spent two successful seasons in Tenerife before returning at the end of last season. Under the agreement Tenerife cover two thirds of Prieto’s wages, with Seville paying the rest.

Manchester City

Silva’s blue hopes

Manchester City player David Silva hopes his recent move to England will encourage football fans in the Canaries to take a keener interest in the Premiership.

The World Cup winner with Spain, who hails from Arguineguin in Gran Canaria, admits the change will be a big one for him, not least the climate, but he is looking forward to the challenge. Silva was one of the big-money transfers of the summer, costing City over €30 million. He revealed in a media interview in the Canarias 7 paper yesterday that his former club Valencia, “needed the money” and he was therefore happy to, “emigrate to Manchester”. He hopes his move will lead to more light blue shorts being seen on his native island.
