EDITOR PAGE INDEX

I just heard that in Milan, Italy, they bannedthesaleofice-cream and even bottled water, take-away, and alcoholic drinks vending machines between midnight and 6am during the summer months. Apparently this is to stop the noise and disturbances caused by tourists in the middle of the night. So it is not just some parts of Spain that have the problem, it seems to be a problemcausedbymassivecheapholidaytourismorganisedby airlines and similar tour operators. Let them go to Turkey and Greece.

Of course tourism is welcome in Spain but what we are looking for is well to do visitors and in particular, as many foreign visitors whowishtomakeSpaintheirhomeresidence,especiallyBritish.

OPINION

Acabo de enterarme de que en Milán, Italia, están prohibiendo la venta de helados e incluso máquinas expendedoras de agua embotellada, comidas para llevar y bebidas alcohólicas entre la medianoche y las 6 de la mañana durante los meses de verano. Al parecer esto es para frenar el ruido y las molestias que provocan los turistas en mitad de la noche. Así que no son sólo algunas partes de España las que tienen el problema, sino que parece ser un problema causado por el turismo vacacional masivo y barato organizado por aerolíneas y operadores turísticos similares ‘’Pues que se vayan a TurquíayGrecia.

Por supuesto que el turismo es bienvenido en España pero lo que buscamos es que lo hagan los visitantes respetables y en particular que muchos visitantes extranjeros deseen hacer de Españasuresidencia,sobretodobritánicos.

The Belgian artist Ann Massa, from the Leuven Academy, presents her abstract and figurative collection entitled VINTAGE FIRE AND COLOR that we could interpret on two levels. Ann Massa's art is a celebration of life itself. Each of her works is a tribute to the beauty of nature, captured in the most vibrant colours. Her paintings are more than visual experiences. The artist reveals her passion for the colours and decorations of the 70s and 80s with a chromatic palette and very defined geometric lines as seen in her exhibitions in Liege, Brussels and Paris, Barcelona and soon to Monaco for the InternationalContemporaryArtFairinthemonthofAugustwithExcellenceArtGallery.

Giuseppe Carnevale, in charge of curating the exhibition at the Cosentino City Malaga facilities invites you to meet the artist and to experience this unique exhibition, which defines the works as a constant internal dialogue that Ann maintains with her desire to conveyherchromaticimpulseasabondbetweencolourandcolour.

When does tourism get out of control?

Spain is the nearest and most convenient country with all the necessary amenities to offer a good, guaranteed enjoyable holiday, especially for the UK.

But there are specific area of Spain that have become exceedingly popular with holiday makers. These are specific areas that over the years have acquired traditional fame and popularity with holiday makers, a popularity that, over the years, has been over promoted by the foreign press and overexploited by airlines with cheap fares, tour operators, hotels and

even private property owners, all offering an attraction to a lower quality of tourism. Basically it is caused by excessive greed by individuals and companiesThese locations mainly refer to Spanish small islands, as opposed to the mainland where there is not such a serious problem. Something that the foreign press does not differentiate clearly enough to the detriment of Spanish tourism as a whole.

Given the amount of residents’ complaints from these area, which might include Barcelona for its airport and proximity to the Balearic Islands, the Spanish regional governments are now compelled to be seen to impose restrictions that presumably will affect the level of tourism to these areas, while ensuring to avoid on overspill in other areas, not so affected

It is a pity that the foreign press do not highlight the problem for what it is instead of painting what seems to be a prejudicial and preconceived information.

Given the amount of residents’ complaints from these area, which might include Barcelona for its airport and proximity to the Balearic Islands, the Spanish regional governments are now compelledtobeseentoimposerestrictionsthat presumably will affect the level of tourism to these areas, while ensuring to avoid on overspill inotherareas,notsoaffected.

It is a pity that the foreign press do not highlight the problem for what it is instead of painting what seems to be a prejudicial and preconceivedinformation.

While EU residents have the freedom to enter and leave Spain as they wish, naturally there is scope in imposing certain controls to ensure that non EU visitors are not intending to mingle with the crowds and disappear, some measures might be the checking of passports and even ensuring that the visitors have the means to get backwheretheycamefrom.

Even introducing tourist taxes does not solve the whole problem, while it does not mean that Spain is desperate for money as some have said, with the result that Spanish regional governments have adopted a measure to try and control the number of tourists in any area at any time by regulating the amount of accommodation available ‘’When the theatre if fullandnomoreseatsareavailable,

you wait for the next performance’’. This does makemoresense.

Obtaining a tourist housing license is now the first and most important obligation. The owners of this type of housing have the duty to register their accommodation and notify it to the competentauthority.

To have control over guests the owner must keep a record of all the guests who visit his accommodation and pass it on to the Police, so as to have a database of the people staying in thistypeofaccommodation.

These properties must display an identification plate showing the licence number. And, of course, like any other accommodation business the income derive from tourist rental must be declared.

Classification and type of use: holiday accommodation is residential units rented occasionally, while tourist apartments are designed and intended exclusively for the accommodation of tourists, that is they have a purely commercial purpose However note that each region has its own rules and a central Registry of tourist homes and by obtaining the touristic license, your property will be included in such Registry, which can be publicly accessed byanyone

Estepona

de Algeciras

Estepona fue la Epona celta, la Salduba íbera y la Estebbuna árabe, según los últimos estudios, aunque sobre esto no hay consenso de los investigadores.

Sea como fuera, hoy se conoce como “El jardín de la costa del Sol” por la profusión de flores que adornan sus plazas y calles, ornadas por macetas multicolores, resaltando el tipismo andaluz.

Estepona está situada en la zona suroccidental de la provincia de Málaga e integrada en la comarca de la costa del sol occidental. Su término municipal se extiende a lo largo de 23 kilómetros de litoral y se adentra hacia el interior, abarcando un fértil valle surcado por arroyos y por Sierra Bermeja, verdadero pulmón de la ciudad, que en la actualidad se recupera del más terrible de los incendios de su historia.

Sus patronos son san Isidro y Nuestra señora del Carmen y ha sido cuna de importes personalidades de todos los ámbitos del saber. Es también la ciudad de la ruta de la poesía, engalanando sus calles y enclaves señeros con poemas de poetas clásicos y también de vates locales de la actualidad como Antonio Ríos, José María Guerrero o Miguel López Ramírez, y donde en la coqueta plaza de Manilva al calor de un establecimiento de vinos llamado “Take a wine” ha surgido un grupo poético de la mano de la poeta local Teresa Floro que se reúne cada miércoles a eso de las 20.30

horas en torno a la poesía, la mayor de las veces, pero también a la buena narrativa, el ensayo o los cuentos y leyendas.

Allí se reúnen un ramillete de interesantes autores como los esteponeros Mari Ángeles Castillo, Antonio Mena, Ana Paula Mena, Lorena Jiménez, Mari Luz Reyes, Ignacio Díaz, Justy, Salvador Gómez y los anteriormente mencionados, los manilveños Fernando Morales, Rogelio Martínez, Carmen Sánchez, Lola Loyzaga, Ahmed Ksiri, Ruth Álvarez, Francisco Rodríguez o Nieves Rojas, los algecireños Pepe Salguero y este que les habla o los que han venido de lejos, pero residen gran parte del año en Estepona como Amparo Roldán.

Además, Estepona es una ciudad de cine, gracias a la Semana Internacional del Cine fantástico y de terror, dirigida por Julio Peces y que tuvo en Paul Naschy a uno de sus grandes impulsores, es ciudad de museos, salas de exposiciones y bibliotecas como las del recién inaugurado Mirador del Carmen, imponente bastión dedicado a la cultura, o la de la Casa de las Tejerinas, coqueto espacio para presentaciones de libros y muestras de arte.

Es ciudad del deporte, de una gastronomía excelsa, del turismo de sol y playa y también cultural, de toros y de grandes eventos y congresos de toda índole. Estepona está de dulce y hay que conocerla, disfrutarla y difundir sus excelencias y maravillas, de las que seguiremos hablando más adelante.

The Stone Stone said that this 'might be Taylor Swift's most personal album yet.' The Tortured Poets Department combines the intimacy of Folklore and Evermore with the synth-pop gloss of Midnights to create music that’s wildly ambitious and gloriously chaotic.
