BABY LINE: ‘Devils’ jump over the infants.
500 users per week
By Steve Walsh FROM the early 1600s, every year during the feast of Corpus Christi, the small Spanish town of Castrillo de Murcia in Burgos is where babies lay in the street as devils jump over them. But don’t worry, it’s not as horrific as it sounds. You could say there are some strange fiesta traditions here in Spain, from tomato throwing to snail eating, from guzzling grapes to being carried in your own coffin. But none seems as strange to the unsuspecting visitor as the Burgos ‘baby jumping’ fiesta. Strange to say the least, but yes you read that correctly. During the feast of Corpus Christi - this week - all the town’s babies that were born within the previous 12 months, are taken out to the streets where they take pride of

place in the Baby Jumping Festival of El Colacho. Mattresses are laid end to end with the babies carefully positioned in a line, (doting mothers close to hand, take note!). Then, local men dressed as devils in red and yellow suits proceed to jump across the baby line. The idea behind this weird festival is to cleanse the babies of original sin, ensure them safe passage through life and guard against illness and evil spirits. The event, organised by the Brotherhood of Santísimo Sacramento de Minerva has unknown origins, but is believed to be a kind of baptism. Although there are injuries every year, thankfully, it’s only the devils doing the jumping who seem to hurt themselves. And as they state: ‘No babies were harmed in the making of this fiesta!’

A brotherly tribute JAMES WATSON, brother of EWN’s late colleague, Angus, is to raise funds for British Heart Foundation By Steve Walsh ANGUS WATSON, the Euro Weekly News staff member who died tragically in February this year, will be honoured by his brother James in a very fitting tribute as he takes on a 54-mile bike ride in his memory. Team Mas Moral will be taking part in the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton Bike Ride on June 21, to raise money for heart health research. Leading the team will be James Watson. James is the younger brother of Angus, who died after suffering a massive and unexpected heart attack while riding his bike in Benajarafe, Axarquia. “Angus had a great sense of humour,” said James, “this bike run is in memory of him.

Angus had an unexpected heart attack while riding his own bike, so the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton Bike Ride seemed particularly apt.” Strangely enough, that’s not where the good omens end. “It’s also 54 miles long, which was Angus’s age when he passed away, plus the event is on Father’s Day which hopefully provides additional relevance for his four children and ex-wife Erica, a columnist for the EWN who herself is successfully battling breast cancer.” You can help James and team Mas Moral support the British Heart Foundation by visiting this site and donating what you can: www.justgiving. com/masmoral

Malaga starts summer firefighting campaign LIGHTING of fires and barbecues in the countryside is now banned By Eleanor Hawkins AS OF June 1, Malaga Province is on alert for forest fires as the high-risk season has kicked in and the authorities believe it will be a tough summer. A dry winter, less rain than usual and high temperatures forecast for the summer by Aemet state weather office mean there is a high probability of fire risk. From now until October 15, barbecues and fires of any type have been strictly banned in the countryside, and the authorities are asking for citizen collaboration as 96 per cent of forest fires are believed to be started by human activities or carelessness. Anyone who sees anything out of the ordinary and fears a fire risk is urged to call 112. More than 2,200 kilometres of firebreaks have been cleared by hand, machine and grazing - thanks to agreements with 45 shepherds working with 30,000 animals - and the Infoca Plan for forest firefighting and prevention have 13 land vehicles, 27 helicopters and 11 planes ready to do their utmost to prevent disaster. Meanwhile government delegate for Andalucia Jose Luis Ruiz Espejo has urged residential complexes near areas at risk that have not yet done so to have self-protection plans drawn up, stressing they could save lives.
FIRE PREVENTION: Many firebreaks have been created.

The ride had two aims, to raise funds for Fundacion Cris’s Proyecto Lydia, which investigates childhood leukaemia, and to raise awareness of the dangers of drivers who fail to keep the minimum distance of 1.5 metres while overtaking bicycles. The challenge began at 8am on Monday (June 1) when Becerra set off from the Ronda Parador. The corporal was looking to cover an average of at least 280 kilometres per day. He expected to be joined on the final stage by Tour de France 2006 winner Oscar Pereiro, who had promised to go along and keep him company on the way to the finish line.

Escapee found in the UK A CONVICTED armed robber who claimed to have simply ‘walked out’ of an English prison and was then reported to be hiding in Marbella was nabbed by police in the UK. Officers caught up with Haroon Ahmed near Nottingham, and have not confirmed if the escapee had travelled to Spain. Ahmed, 26, had told the Sunday Mirror that it was “easy” to escape HMP Dovegate, a private prison in Staffordshire run by Serco, in amongst a group of visitors. “I wanted to test out the security,” he told the paper. “I thought, I’ll give it a go and walked out the door. That’s how easy it was. I just kept on walking.” It is understood that Ahmed will not be returned to the prison, which is currently undergoing an urgent investigation into the incident, and instead will transfer to a category A jail. Police thanked the public for the information they had received since their appeal was released.

Residents from the complex, in the Riviera del Sol area, contacted Mijas Guardia Civil to report a strong smell emanating from one of the homes, and after obtaining permission from a judge, officers entered and found the deceased man on the floor inside. Police sources reported that the man’s hands
had been bound and he had a number of shot wounds to the chest and one leg, and although a post mortem examination has been ordered to determine the cause and time of death, the state of the body led police to believe the man had died some days beforehand.

Enthusiasm and energy are key to success Our Euro Women series is featuring women who have made a success of their lives in Spain. These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports. Lucy Grande, as well as running a successful business, has helped countless children with her charity work.
LUCY GRANDE is full of energy. Never staying still for very long, she pours enthusiasm into whatever she undertakes whether it is running the highly successful Bed Centre in Calpe, organising vital fundraising for the Make A Smile charity or spending happy hours in her garden, one of her greatest passions. Married to Tony Grande since January, Lucy is part of a team of incredibly focused and effective volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure the Emaus children’s homes have enough of – well – everything. “Our main worry is that they have enough to eat, enough to wear, enough of life’s basics to keep them going,” said Lucy. “All the comfort and security that other children take for granted are not there for these kids. So Tony and I try to make sure there is food in the fridge. That is what we do, we always seem to be feeding people!” The process of helping other people began for Lucy and Tony years ago. They can never turn their backs on anyone in need and it started with fundraising events, eventually growing into something that needed more professional suppor. So last year Make A Smile was launched, encouraging large companies to get behind a cause that puts food on the table for children who have no one else to turn to. A self-sufficiency project at one of the Emaus homes is enjoying incredible success as the children have learned to tend chickens, harvest their own vegetables and make and market their own olive oil.
ALWAYS ON THE GO: Euro Woman Lucy Rowat Grande.
A determined children’s crusader By Jan Gamm Hard work, training and the incredible commitment from Tony, Lucy and their band of volunteers have worked miracles in the hills surrounding the home.

outside world is hard; at 18 they are barely adults and need direction as any other kid that age would. Apprenticeships and work experience programmes are what is needed. And until then these kids need all our love and support even as Emaus faces bankruptcy and all it entails.” Who does Lucy most admire? “The carers who have looked after the Emaus kids for so many years. They are devoted and so brave, standing up for what they believe in and continuing their crusade to look after these children no matter what. Tony and I are privileged to have been accepted by them and to work alongside them.” What is she most proud of? “The Bed Centre, I think. It’s a good business, one to be proud of. And all the fantastic kids we help through Make A Smile.” Why does she love Spain? “I love everything about it; I’ve been here for 35 years and all my working life has been spent here. I love the people, the way they embrace the outdoor lifestyle, their exuberance, affection and the wonderful weather.”

Junta to pay damages to injured schoolgirl THE Junta de Andalucia regional government has been o r d e r e d b y a Mala g a c o u r t t o p ay € 28, 0 0 0 i n d a m a g e s to a Marbella secondary schoo l p u p i l wh o w a s injured during a PE class. The Junta claimed that the fall the girl suffered, whic h se r i o u sl y d amaged h e r r i g h t a n k le after she landed in a gap between mats, was just one of those things, and a normal risk of PE. The judge, however, decided that the various operations the girl had to endure, which left her unable to carry out normal a c t i v i t i e s f o r 3 3 7 days, were caused by a lack of safety measures at the school, as the mats were not secured.
KING’S WALKWAY: Since reopening has received 43,500 visitors.

Fans gather to see jailed singer leave her prison
LA CALA DE MIJAS: The Lions Club with their every growing food mound.
Lions busy at work EVERYONE took dried food as an entry fee By Eleanor Hawkins LA CALA de Mijas Lions Club has once again been busy working for the local community. Last weekend saw them busy organising refreshments for all the participants in the National Fencing Championships held in La Cala.
Fencers came from as far away as Russia and Algiers and everyone took dried food as an entry fee! Soon the food mound was growing and this was gratefully accepted by Caritas towards feeding the hungry. T h e L io ns w is h to tha nk e ve ryone who helped to make it a great two day event.
SINGER Isabel Pantoja left Alcala de Guadaria jail on Monday (June 1) for her first temporary release since she was put behind bars last November. Wearing red, with her head held high and a smile firmly pasted on, Pantoja waved to dozens of fans and journalists, who had gathered at the gates to see her. Pantoja was jailed six months ago, for laundering money obtained fraudulently by her ex-partner and former Marbella mayor, Julian Mu単oz. Although authorisation for a four day release was awarded by a judge last week, reportedly due to her good behaviour, signs of repentance and the fact she had completed a quarter of her two year sentence, Pantoja decided to wait a few days before taking the break to allow her family to gather at her Cadiz home. As a special measure, the judge, realising she would attract a crowd, agreed the singer would not have to present her-
self at a court each day while out of jail, however she was required to carry an authorisation with her at all times. Although many were pleased
to see the singer jailed for her crimes, she has received thousands of letters from fans since she entered jail, which her family take to her each week.

BEACH DREAM: But dogs will not have their day this summer.
By Eleanor Hawkins ESTEPONA pet-owners have been disappointed as, following months of preparations, the town has been denied its request for a dog beach. The Junta de Andalucia regional government’s environmental department has turned down the council’s application to allow dogs on La Morocha beach, between El Padron and El Castor this sum-
10,000M2 of beach had been earmarked for dogs mer, stating that it had not been authorised in the Seasonal Exploitation Plan for public beaches. Acting Beaches Councillor Susana
Aragon explained that in November a 10,000-square-metre area of the beach had been suggested to the Junta for use by dogs and their owners and local bylaws modified to allow this use. Aragon said the rejection was a great disappointment as hundreds of local petowners had asked for a beach their dogs could use all year round and it could also have attracted more tourists as many visitors like to travel with their pets.
Jailed for 22 years for stabbing wife MALAGA Provincial Court has sentenced a man to 22 years in jail for murdering his
partner by stabbing her 15 times with a sewing awl in Torremolinos in 2013.
The defendant stabbed the victim while she was still alive and “with the deliberate intention of increasing her pain,” the judgement stated. The 52-year-old admitted to having killed his wife but said he was under the influence of alcohol at the time. After that, he handed himself in at a nearby National Police station. The prosecutor reminded the judge that the killer already had a criminal record for similar incidents.

Marta’s desperate father offers murderer €18,000 MIGUEL Carcaño, who murdered young Sevilla girl Marta del Castillo in 2009, has refused an offer of money from her distraught father in exchange for revealing where her body is. Marta’s father Antonio has admitted that he sent Carcaño, jailed for 21 years and three months after confessing to the
murder, a written contract promising to pay him €20 per week while inside and a lump sum of €18,000 to start a new life once he has done his time. But Carcaño, who has given a number of different versions of events and led police on wild goose chases searching for Marta’s body, refused the offer, say-
ing it wasn’t worth it. The contract, which Antonio posted on Twitter later, saying he did not know whether it was legal or not but he would do absolutely anything to make the murderer reveal the exact location of Marta’s remains, set out an agreement that would start as soon as Marta was found.

By Community Reporter OWNERS and their canine friends gathered in the San Nicolas de Bari area of Alicante on Sunday May 31 to create a furry Flashmob. They put on an impressive demonstration of ‘doggy dancing’ showing how well the dogs responded to their owners’ commands. The point of the exercise was to campaign for tolerance for pets on public transportation and in public spaces, under the slogan ‘We are well behaved and controlled dogs, we don’t bother anyone!’ One participant said: “We have to raise awareness of training our pets, because when there are problems, it will always be because we have not trained them adequately.” A similar event has been running in Madrid for several years, and this year, pulled together through Facebook, was held simultaneously in 15 other cities across Spain.

2015 to date: a year of volatility Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
IN terms of foreign exchange, 2015 has been a year of volatility; currently GBP/EUR is nestling just under 1.42 after an electric start to the year. We started 2015 at 1.28 and have seen huge swings with monumental shifts on the back of the Swiss National Bank removing their peg, a whopping Quantitative Easing package from the ECB and a massive USD rally on expectation for a move to a US rate hike. Throw in a very uncertain UK election and you can understand why volatility is extreme. To give some context to this volatility, in the last month alone GBP/EUR dipped from 1.40 down to 1.34 and then back up to over 1.40 again following the confirmation of a Conservative majority in the UK election and in a 12-month period GBP/EUR has moved over 16 per cent higher. So what lies ahead for the rest of 2015 in relation to GBP/EUR? The good news is that
VOLATILE: GBP/EUR dipped from 1.40 down to 1.34 and back up again. many of the uncertainties have now been removed or accounted for by the markets. The ongoing impact of Quantative Easing in Europe is now more digestible by the markets and the UK election result has removed an elephant in the room for the pound in the short term. However, we still have major themes to look out
for and in order of timing these are the Greek negotiations, the timing for a US and UK rate hike and the possibility of a UK vote on Europe. Firstly the ongoing negotiations with Greece are a real short-term concern. The Greek government is currently in stand-off with European lenders to release €7.2bn of the bailout
programme. If Greece does manage to unlock the €7.2bn in aid it will still require further assistance beyond June when the current bailout plan ends. If agreement cannot be sought with relationships very strained and neither side looking to budge, it could lead to a Grexit and the impact on the euro would likely to be very negative. Moving beyond Greece and on to central banks, which have been the key fundamental driver of currency moves, all eyes are currently on the US Federal Reserve (FOMC). The USD has rallied dramatically since mid-2014 as the market positions for lift-off from the FED. If the FED does raise in 2015 as expected, the divergence between US rates and ECB rates will lead to pressure on EUR/USD with some analysts pointing towards parity and below. The fact that the Bank of England could follow soon after the FOMC in raising rates will certainly help GBP/EUR push higher especially given the ECB will still be entrenched in monetary easing. A move towards 1.50 in GBP/EUR would reflect a EUR/USD move below parity. Regardless of the outcome with Greece, we see central bank divergence in policy driving the euro lower still in late 2015 and early 2016.

Sun care is a lifelong investment Loose change Jane Plunkett A look at finance for females jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
WE are all well aware of the dangers of the sun, but for some reason we often choose to ignore expert advice. Sunbathing on the beach, lying by the pool or walking along the promenade are all things we can enjoy in plenty here in Spain, but we must remember that these activities can also potentially play havoc with our health. Therefore, since we live in a country where the sun shines a lot, it is really important to invest in good measures to help protect our skin against its harmful rays. A report out this month from the UK states that a huge amount of Britons worry about skin cancer, but continue to put themselves at risk by allowing themselves to be burned by the sun. And I can only presume that many expats fall into the same category. According to the study, although more than eight out of 10 people are worried about skin cancer, 72 per cent
STAY SUN SMART: Buy a good sunscreen and apply liberally before exposure. have been burnt in the past year. People tend to underestimate the damage that sunburn can do to their skin, and many think that skin reddening is just a harmless part of the tanning process, rather than a sign that you have damaged your skin. Therefore, investing in good sun protection habits is a must.
Being careful in the sun doesn’t have to cost a fortune, it just means using common sense. Avoid direct sunlight between during the hottest hours of the afternoon. Buy a good suncream and apply it liberally before exposure and reapply after every swim. Cover up in a light cotton T-shirt and
buy yourself a hat. Avoid exposing your face to too much sun now and save a fortune on anti-wrinkle cream later! In the UK there has been a rise in people getting skin cancer. So be smart and save yourself the horror of having to deal with a health problem and doctor’s bills in the future.

€100 banknotes: a notable difference THE number of €100 banknotes in circulation reached a record low in April. A great many entities took them out of circulation, surrendering them to the Bank of Spain. The difference between the number of notes distributed and those retired was 2.9 million units. The Bank of Spain explained that the high number of notes being returned “could be due to tourism with credit institutions returning notes that are not needed to address the liquidity needs of its customers.” The number of €500 banknotes remained at 71 million units, the same levels as 2005. The role of €50 notes, however, increased year on year by 3.5 per cent to 868 million units. In the case of €20 and €10 notes, the balance between distributed and negative returns was 100 notes, with €26.407 million and €9.723 million respectively. Total cash put into circulation by the Bank of Spain stood at just over €48 billion (€44.206 million in notes and €3.898 million in coins) - 13.8 per cent less than the same period in 2014.

Prices up CONSUMER prices in Spain rose by 0.4 per cent in May from April, easing fears that the country was falling into a deflationary cycle that could hit growth. Rebounding oil prices are said to be the main factor.
Sales rebound RETAIL sales in Spain rose to a seasonally adjusted rate of 4 per cent in April up from 3.2 per cent the previous month. This was against analysts’ expectations of a fall to 2 per cent. CUTTING QUEUES: New mobile phone app enables customers to pay at the pump. By Community Reporter CEPSA is rolling out the first mobile phone payment system, enabling consumers to pay for petrol at the pump. The process is often slowed down at busy petrol stations by the
cashier having to deal with personal shopping items as well as fuel payments, especially during the holiday season when numbers multiply. The increase in transactions is not always catered for by garages taking on extra staff.
The move is seen as progressive, helping to cut queues at the till. It could, according to Cepsa, shorten waiting times by up to 75 per cent. Free to download, the user signs up with personal details and a profile
and then processes fuel payments via the payment card of choice. It is safe, secure and operated via password. The application is free to download via any mobile phone that has an Apple or Android operating system.

Lamborghini confirms Urus, its sporty hybrid 4x4 SUV LAMBORGHINI URUS hybrid SUV will punch above its weight with 600 hp and 400 kwh THE new thoroughbred in Lamborghini’s stable has been announced in Rome as the Urus SUV. The crossover model that may debut in 2017 is said to have 600 hp and 400 kwh and, at 5ft 6 inches (1.68m), the hybrid may be relatively small but will more than match the competition. Although not mentioned by the company, it’s believed that Italy’s government awarded Lamborghini more than €80 million in tax breaks and other incentives. In return, Lamborghini will hire around 500 new employees and invest significantly in expanding its facilities. Intended to take on key rivals including Aston Martin’s planned SUV, the Maserati Levante and Porsche Cayenne, Urus is likely to be the most affordable and popular model in the Lamborghini line-up.

Not even small-volume manufacturers like Aston, McLaren, Bentley and Lotus will escape having to make extreme changes. But Andy Palmer, CEO of Aston Martin has given us a brief reassuring insight into their thinking.

“I see in our future obviously V12s, V8s and probably battery-electric cars,” Palmer revealed to Autocar.
“As time evolves, there’s probably an inevitability to hybridisation, simply because, car by car, you can on-
ly downsize so much. I’d rather put a hybrid in there than an in-line four-cylinder.”

New Leon is all important to SEAT AT no time in the history of SEAT, has a car been more important to them than the third-generation Seat Leon. Previously known affectionately as the poor man’s VW Golf, the new Leon has come of age and made roads for itself. Even in the face of Spain’s crisis, SEAT have made miraculous engineering changes to herald their new star. This is also the first Leon available in a range of body styles, as a regular
five-door hatch, a three-door ‘SC’ coupé or a longer fivedoor ‘ST’ estate. Five engines are offered, ranging from a 104bhp, 1.2litre TSI turbocharged petrol, via 120bhp and 178bhp four-cylinder turbo petrol versions, to a pair of fourcylinder diesels consisting of a 104bhp, sub-100g/km 1.6litre unit and a 148bhp 2.0. All drive the front wheels, via five or six-speed manual, or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearboxes.

Consider the modern Supermini for space SMALLER cars are now more spacious on the inside with more leg room By Steve Walsh The modern Supermini is a breed that has come into its own over the last 10 years. They are better than they ever have been, and the public love them. Since 2004 sales of Superminis have gone up 132 per cent, due to buyers switching from larger hatchbacks such as the Opel Vectra or Ford Focus, down to Superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Fiat 500. Manufacturers have been very shrewd to cater for this trend over that period by making their ‘smaller’ cars more spacious on the inside, giving more leg room and offering options normally found on larger models such as five door access, power steering, and folding seats. How have they achieved this you might ask? Some would argue that instead of harnessing Dr Who’s TARDIS technology, or mastering the age-old problem of squeezing a quart into a pint pot, they have simply made

Are we being driven to distraction? MORE like a computer on wheels than what we know as a car, our vehicles are quickly becoming an alien environment. It would seem every week car manufacturers are loading new models with new safety devices. However, at what stage do the so called safety devices become more of a hindrance than a help? Or have we already passed that point? Scientific tests are seeing the potential for driver distraction from too many chimes, beeps, computerised voices, vibrating steering wheels and lights flashing on dashboards, windshields or side mirrors. How safe can distractions be? While listening to, and trying to figure out which bings, dings, pings, and pongs, are trying to tell you what as you are reversing, you are obviously not concentrating on reversing. Studies are being conducted in many European countries as
40 For most drivers over this age, learning how to drive and levels of concentration have become second nature.
well as the US on this very subject. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are currently running tests related to older drivers dealing with new tech in vehicles. Research scientist Bryan Reimer gives us just one example. “If a threeinch light on your dashboard illuminates because you’re too close to the car in front, you may look down at the dashboard first, it’s easy to understand how attention can wavier, now times that by five.” With sensors, lasers, cameras and crash warning systems that
‘Pling’ alerts to drivers for blind spots and impending bumps, ‘beeps’ when someone is too close behind, flashing lights when they’re straying a little out of their lane, and cars assuming control and braking autonomously, the distractions are becoming more dangerous. For most of us drivers over the age of 40, learning how to drive and the levels of concentration needed in doing so safely have become second nature to us over time. We don’t say out loud, “mirror, signal, manoeuvre,” while changing lanes, any more than we would say “left foot, right foot” as we walk. Therefore anything else is a distraction, ergo a danger! Is it any wonder that, with companies experimenting with mirror-less cars, and Lexus and Fords that parallel park themselves. People are asking, “Are we taking control out of driver’s hands?”

Predictions for an Islamic future THE West could face the largest internal enemy force ever seen LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT THESE are the rantings according to Leapy this week. What I believe will come to pass over the next few years. Islamic State (IS) will take all of Syria, Iraq and Jordan. They will subsequently make a non-aggression pact with Iran. With their army on the borders of Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the Allies, particularly the Americans, will have no choice but to declare war on the whole of the Islamic world. This will involve millions of allied troops on the ground and the possible limited use of nuclear weapons. If it appears IS is in with a chance, Iran will join them, supplying armaments which will include the nuclear variety. Iran will nuke Israel. This will result in the destruction of Israel, and with Israeli retaliation, probably Iran as well. While all this is taking place, IS will call on its sympathisers throughout the world to launch attacks from within the towns and cities of the West. These sleepers are already en-

trenched and will cause havoc and destruction that will turn large chunks of our civilisation into areas resembling Beirut. Vast numbers of so-called non-militant Muslims will have no choice but to join the fight, forming the biggest internal enemy force the West has ever seen. So many allied troops will be engaged in the Middle East, there will be too few to protect the citizens at home. Commonwealth countries will be asked to come to our assistance, but with large dissident Muslim populations within their own cities, they will also find themselves threatened and unable to spare any military aid. In this scenario it is not difficult to reach the conclusion that we could quite easily lose the battle and the black flag will be seen flying over Westminster and the White House. Before you dismiss this piece as lunatic rantings, I have actually plagiarized a good deal of it from philosophers far more adept than me in the prophecy business. I think the Book of Revelations just about covers it. Keep the faith, Love Leapy, Leapylee2002@gmail.com www.leapylee.co.uk

Why is cruising such an attraction? CRUISES are becoming more popular than ever, with Malaga port expected to see the arrival of tens of thousands of tourists on cruises ships in 2015. But what is the attraction of cruising? inclusive. I hope I will criuse in the future. My husband and I usually holiday in France where his family live.

about four years ago. The advantage is that it is all inclusive and the services are 24 hours around the clock, snack bars and so on. We cruised the Caribbean which was lovely visiting Barbados and St Martin’s.” Elaine Green of IBEX Insurance is a well travelled cruiser and is due to set sail this week. “I love cruise holidays, I have been on so many. I have just got married so my husband and I are going on a Mediterranean cruise setting off from Barcelona. Cruise holidays are great as you can wake up in a different place each day and don’t even have to unpack your suitcase, which is a big plus to me! The standards are high and it is good value for money, I am Elaine looking forward to Green. my honeymoon.”

Cruising floats my boat Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-the-wall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.
THE Princess and I have just returned from a cruise on one of the great Cunard ships - Queen Victoria. Cruising isn’t for everybody, but in recent times, we have developed a fondness for this form of travel. Pampered and cosseted for two weeks, with the finest food and drink on tap, great entertainment in the theatre, a selection of bars and lounges to choose from, and a spa, library, casino and ballroom at your disposal - along with interesting ports of call - what’s not to like? We still take regular trips to other locations, but cruising is very definitely included in our travel portfolio from now on. However there are certain aspects of these floating hotels that I am wary of, and I would give a precautionary heads-up to any would be cruisers out there. First of all the stateroom toilets - and please note, you no longer occupy cabins these days, but staterooms no less which still scare the heck out of me even though I know what to expect. There is no flushing in the normal

way, but when pressing the appropriate button, stand well back. There is a roar like a train entering a tunnel, and the contents are sucked out at break neck speed. It’s like a massive Dyson with attitude, and you certainly do not want to still be seated when this operation is carried out or you will be deposited into the bowels (a very apt term) of the ship, never to be seen again. And if you want to enjoy a low key birthday on board - tell no one! Otherwise there you are finishing your Steak au Poivre with an eye on the yummy Macadamia and Ricotta Crème Brûlée to follow, when a gaggle of Filipino waiters converge on your table bearing a large muffin with a single candle and start singing at the top of their lungs. “Happy borday ta yaw - Happy borday ta yaw . . .” But they don’t know your name. “Happy borday dear . . . bordaaaaayyy . . . Then as if they have suddenly remembered an urgent appointment elsewhere: “Happybordaytayaw” The whole ship now knows it’s your borday! Our cruise was part of Cunard’s 175th year celebrations. Gone are the days when it was a luxury only afforded by the rich and famous; now even low bred nobodies like me can enjoy the experience.

WE plebeians give much in times of war. World War One cost one million British lives; World War Two added another 450,000. Multiply these figures by 10 to represent those who lost limbs or other physical faculties. Don’t weep too lengthily. Many vampires become bloated on war. Company holdings of Richard ‘Dick’ Cheney, American politician and businessman allegedly profited by $39, 500,000,000 from the Iraq War alone.

SUN’S OUT: Get a hat.
Maybe a hat’s all that is needed SUNBURN, although being the butt of many jokes, can be a very serious problem. With the temperatures in Spain being at a record high last month, we find ourselves needing to reach for the sun block a little early this year. There are two types of ultraviolet light that not only reach your beach towel, but penetrate your skin. The skin damage is caused by both UVA and UVB rays. Sunburn is the most obvious sign that you’ve been sitting outside for too long. But sun damage isn’t always visible. Under the surface, ultraviolet light can alter your DNA, prematurely aging your skin. Over time, DNA damage can contribute to skin cancers, including deadly melanoma. This we all know and typically avoid by covering up in the sun or using sun block. But children and toddlers don’t. Even though it’s only early in the season, children playing out in the parks and beaches need to be covered up. Prams and push chairs should already have their parasols fitted. While babies would benefit greatly by simply wearing a hat, (Kiss me quick optional).
tears to banks and war profiteers. In 2014 the UK announced you will pay $349 million of War Bonds debt incurred during WW1. These are Perpetual Bonds. Keep coughing up Tommy Atkins. July 22, 1936, wily Winston departed £50,000 (€780,000 in today’s money) richer after attending a small house party organised by Focus Group. The deal: “Provided he direct his canon squarely upon their enemy, Germany.” Needless to add that Focus Group was a cabal of leading war profiteers. War is when people shoot each other, who don’t know each other, on behalf of people who know each other, but don’t shoot each other. Harry Patch, last veteran of Now we The Great War, died in 2009 want to aged 111: “I felt then, as I feel hear your news. now, that the politicians who took us to war, should YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE have been given the guns - YOUR OPINION and told to sort their own www.euroweeklynews.com differences themselves.”

IT’S important to have the right insurance for anything which may occur at sea or in dock THE summer is almost here and it’s time to set sail on our blue waters for yet another season of fine sailing and motor boating. No doubt your vessel has been cleaned and prepared in dry dock and any mechanical problems rectified, the electrics and fuel symptoms have been checked and the engine has been fully serviced ready to embark on your adventures afloat.

Fingers crossed that it won’t be necessary but it’s so important to have the right insurance cover for any unforeseen eventualities that may occur during your times at sea or in dock.

We have right to call for a bullfighting ban otherwise what’s the point of being in EU? LAST week Mr Cronin suggested that bulls are bred for bullfighting. His knowledge of such matters is marginal at best and thus we should dispatch his views to the recycling bin. Now to enlarge upon such issues, what are his views as to Pedancos and trees? Are these dogs bred for such a final ignominy? Mr Cronin, with so many arguments in front of you, perhaps you should now withdraw, for your views are without substance. The only pampered beef cattle are in Japan. Does Mr Cronin know what happens after a bullfight? Now to bleeding hearts. I am hopeful that when faced with the inhuman approach of bullfighting, he will no longer use the term. We live in Europe and have the absolute right of freedom of movement and freedom of speech. If I was restricted in my attempts to address ‘wrongs’ then what is the benefit of being in the EU? K W Ivin (By email) Editor’s note: Mr Cronin asserted that ‘bleeding hearts’ expats had no right to call for an end to bullfighting. Pedancos are hunting dogs. Over the years it has been reported that many have been found hanged from trees at the end of the hunting season.
In the past FOR centuries public cruelty to animals was endemic throughout Europe. Baiting of chained bears with dogs, dogfighting and cock fighting, along with the public executions of criminals were greatly appreciated by a largely uneducated population as a gratuitous relief from the drudgery of their daily lives. Only in Spain is this so-called ‘cultural sport’ of public animal torture now acceptable. Up to relatively recent decades not only the bulls suffered a slow and brutal death.

I HAVE just recently moved to Spain for the climate and weather, and at present I am living in Arboleas. I was surprised to see a storm brewing just as the sun was setting on Saturday evening. It skirted Arboleas but it looked like Albox got the worst of it, as the picture shows. John Forbes, Arboleas (Almeria)
It was also common for horses to be seen staggering round the bullring with their entrails exposed after a tormented bull had vented its frustration on the only soft body he could reach. Although horses are now padded they can still suffer impact, causing internal injuries which the public will know nothing about. A significant number of Spanish people now oppose bullfighting, which has no place in 21st century Europe. It is a cruel and unnecessary, socalled sport, and letters such as that under the ‘bleeding heart’ heading only deflect from the reality. Brian Nicholls, Moraira (Alicante)
In agreement I AGREE completely with Anthony Cronin. Please leave Spanish affairs to the Spanish. Certain expats think that the ‘poor Spanish’ need help. They
have been doing well for hundreds of years without expats. The whole thing has been shown by the Clark Expats Party getting binned in the recent election. HW Geddis, Orihuela Costa (Alicante)
Not a pretty sight YES, Andy, what a sight indeed! However, did you perhaps notice that in your picture (Letters Issue 1560) the grey mare appears to be hobbled? As an ex-stable owner I believe this is a cruel practice. Ronda may be beautiful but the sight of the grey mare and her foal was not beautiful to me! Norma Grant, Competa (Malaga)
Good luck! WE found the article last week about the Special Olympic team (Costa del Sol Issue 1560) really interesting and hope their stay here
helps them get ready to show the rest of the world what us Brits are made of when they go to LA to compete. It’s great that these sportsmen and women are able to prove their worth in this way and no matter what the final result is they will still know they have done their best, which is better than many young couch potatoes can say for themselves. I would also like to take the chance to congratulate your team on their work to produce such a great paper every week. Not only do you manage to tell us readers the news in a clear, understandable way, it’s all free too! Thank you and keep up the good work. Cecilia Kite, Fuengirola (Malaga) Editor’s note: Last week the EWN reported that Team GB’s swimming team were in Torremolinos to train for the Special Olympics in Los Angeles, which begin on July 25.
Number change MY name is Juan, I do not know very much English but I try to read your newspaper every week. I want to tell you about a problem I have at my house. On Monday a man came and changed all the building numbers in the street where I live. We don’t know if he was from the post office or the town hall, but now we have to change our addresses for everything - electricity company, driving permit, doctors, banks, everything! Why did nobody tell us this was going to happen? I think all our letters will get lost now and I don’t understand why they did it. Please, if anybody knows who did this and why, can they tell me? Thank you! Juan Requena, Las Lagunas (Malaga)
Seedy streets I WAS walking behind a young woman yesterday and she was eating seeds and throwing their shucks on the ground as she went along. This morning I was out and about at 9am and saw a pile of shucks in one place and numerous seed shucks scattered elsewhere in the street. Singapore got rid of messy chewing gum left around by banning it. Perhaps these seeds should be banned too since many people who eat them just treat the streets as their dustbin. Michael Hill, Torre del Mar (Malaga)

Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegregated the South, discrimination was still rampant in certain areas, making it very difficult for blacks to register to vote. In 1965, an Alabama city became the battleground in the fight for suffrage. Despite violent opposition, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his followers pressed forward on an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, and their efforts culminated in President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The purpose of the Hexagram puzzle is to place the 19 six-letter words into the 19 cells. The letters at the edges of interlocking cells MUST BE THE SAME. The letters in the words must be written CLOCKWISE. The word in cell 10 (BOTHER) and one letter in four other cells are given as clues.

YOUR STARS CANCER (June 22 - July 23) All may not be what it seems this week and you need to be a little more realistic. This is particularly true when it comes to romance and close ties. Having the wool pulled over your eyes is not desirable and could even see you trip up. A different kind of trip, possibly over a long distance, may bring you face to face with an old friend or relative
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Such a time of expansion comes rarely, but now you are being handed opportunities. Be sure to make the most of them by being organised enough to take full advantage. With your energy high, you are in a position to steam ahead with plans. Should others feel left out you can find a place for them. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Having had such a busy time recently you may be craving a quiet period. I am afraid this will have to wait at the moment. Small snatches at tranquillity are possible but the pressure is still on. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Have you been too busy to spend time

TIME
(May 22 - June 21)
This is a spiritual week and you will be likely to want comfort. Give yourself time alone to look at the world around you and enjoy what it has to offer. As the weekend approaches, you will be able to get more into the mainstream and enjoy the company of others.
on yourself? Get your looks and health back on track by using this week to good effect. Revamp your diet and exercise as required. Spend time with people who are supportive and share the same interests. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Some difficulty in your love life will need to be handled carefully. Unforeseen developments could take you by surprise (especially if you haven't read this in time). Your need is to avoid telling white lies to get out of a situation. Given time, most situations in this category will ease. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Meetings and travel dominate this week. Being with those who stimulate and inform will be even more worthwhile than usual. A trip that you are not looking forward to can bring added bonuses. Looking to further education at this time, could see you starting a course. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting involving business with a
senior person brings great benefits. You are wrong to be afraid of asking for what you want because it is necessary. Do not bottle things up. Consider that you have little to lose. When dealing with legal matters, you are well advised to read the small print and look at the timescales involved. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) A recent journey has revealed possibilities. It is in this week that you will realise their potential. Nowhere is this truer than your romantic life, which is on the up. Someone who would not normally attract you comes into your sphere or may have done so last week. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A strong romantic flow to your week could be interrupted. This is because there are some business matters that really do need your attention. Although it is not a particularly good time to make firm financial commitments, there are areas to work on. These are mainly associated with saving money and reorganising. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This really is a week to get to grips with any healthy eating or exercise regimes. Owing to the influence of Mars, you are in a vigorous and determined mood. You find that your added confidence and healthy glow are attractive to the opposite sex.

World changing inventions inspired by science fiction
The Improbability Although they say science fiction becomes science fact, hoverboards of Love or transporter beams still haven’t hit our streets. However, many everyday items have come to us as the spawn of science fiction.
FINDING herself alone after the disintegration of her longterm relationship and trapped in a dead-end job, Annie McDee is searching for a present for her unsuitable lover in a neglected second-hand shop. Within the jumble of junk and tack, a grimy painting catches her eye. Leaving the store with the picture after spending her meagre savings, she prepares an elaborate dinner for two, only to be stood up, the gift gathering dust on her mantelpiece. But every painting has a story - and if it could speak, what would it tell us? For Annie has stumbled across ‘The Improbability of Love,’ a lost masterpiece by Antoine Watteau, one of the most influential French painters of the 18th century. Soon Annie is drawn unwillingly into the art world, and finds herself pursued by a host of interested parties that would do anything to possess her picture. From an exiled Russian oligarch, an avaricious Sheika, a desperate auctioneer, an unscrupulous dealer and several others. books@euroweeklynews.com
1. Earbud headphones Ray Bradbury’s classic Fahrenheit 451 predicted that society would be addicted to media and entertainment. It suggested that we would all be obsessed with large screens as walls, links to media everywhere, ‘thimble radios’ and ‘seashells,’ which are essentially earbud headphones that lock us into our own world… Hang on a minute! 2. Diagnostic Bed Maybe not quite at the stage where Bones from Star Trek waves a spinning light over you and diagnoses all your ailments, but not far away is the Self Diagnostic Bed. At one British hospital, the space-age sickbay already has the facilities to detect illnesses ranging from stomach viruses to cancer. With scanners and the latest detection software. 3. GPS In 1965, Star Trek’s Gene Rodenbury dreamed up a navigational plotting system. 30 years later the United States viewed the ‘Global Positioning System’ as a functional idea. From then on, GPS technology has continued to evolve. Today, anybody can find out exactly where they are on the planet via their mobile phone. What’s a little more concerning in an Orwellian sense, is that anyone can find you. 4. Floppy Disks and USB Drives Already old fashioned, floppy disks can be found littering any techies’ bottom drawer, but the original Star Trek crew put them to great use. The characters inserted small, different coloured square disks into computer consoles in order to save information. Strikingly similar to the 3.5-inch floppy disks that we now love to hate. 5.

anywhere in the world. However, universal translators have been in existence in the science fiction world for a lot longer than they have in the real world. Countless films and shows from the 1940’s onwards have overcome the “Why do the aliens speak English” problem with the invention of an auto translator. 8. Tablets Hands up who doesn’t have, or know someone with an iPad or Tablet PC. Well Star Trek beat you to it! The Next Generation featured touch-based tablets called PADDS, how familiar does that sound? They were very similar to the tablet computers of today. But stranger than that, the show’s art director didn’t create the PADD because of his foresight, rather as an improvisation because his department had a small budget. 9. The Taser Primarily, Police only used Tasers to incapacitate hooligans. Based on an idea of Jules Vernes from the 1800s, the Taser International’s wireless projectile bullet is really a work of science fiction. But, even the standard Taser has sci-fi origins. The idea of stunning somebody with electricity is an idea Jack Cover, inventor of the Taser, was Geo rgie inspired to by the science fiction stories Pau we produced by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. ls F lick r 10. The Flip Phone It wasn’t that long ago that people weren’t so attached to their mobile phones, not to mention the fact they couldn’t always be put in your pocket. In the early days it was like carrying a small car battery around with you. However, in 1996, Motorola made an effort to improve the phone industry by offering the Star TAC flip phone, a fairly tiny, stylish alternative to other mobiles at the time.

Abandoned vehicles will be removed AS part of this series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.
ABANDONED: If a car shows signs of damage police will put a sticker on it. MANY people ask about abandoned cars and what the procedure is. If the police have reason to believe that a car has been abandoned on the street there is a procedure they can initiate to enforce the owner confirms identity before they can have it removed. This procedure is different to the case of a vehicle which has been legally parked, this particular process is aimed at vehicles which are in a legal, convenient and safe place but the police believe that they may have simply been abandoned. The car may show signs of damage, may
be missing main components or has been parked in the same place for some time; all giving police indicators it has been abandoned. If they are unsure, a sticker will be placed on the vehicle advising the owner there is reason to believe it has been abandoned. The sticker is dated and the owner has 10 days in which to respond to the claim or it will be removed to the pound. However, remember, this 10 day notice is only for suspected abandoned vehicles, if you park illegally in a prohibited area your vehicle will be removed immediately.

Declare Civil Service Pension REGARDING your response of May 14, 2015 about whether UK Civil Service/Armed Forces are declared for tax year 2014 or 2015. My Spanish accountant in Torrevieja informed me that my Army pension must be declared this year for the tax year 2014. This is the opposite of your advice. She informed me
This whole thing is driving me crazy. My lawyers interpret the Treaty, Article 28, to mean what I said in my EWN column, declare next year for 2015. However, the Tax Agency has told several tax advisors in several areas of Spain that the government service pensions paid in 2014 must be declared now. My advice is that, if your tax consultant has been told to de-
that she had been in direct contact with the tax office and they told her that UK Civil Service pensions must be included for the tax year 2014. I would be very grateful if you could re-clarify the situation and also advise me of the BOE where this ruling can be found. G.P. (Costa Blanca)

clare the pension, then do so. The main treaty did not go into effect for any purpose at all until June of 2014, so declaring for the whole year makes it retroactive for six months, which simply is not on. The Tax Agency replies that they are not taxing you, really. Rather than fight it, just declare. The UK-Spain Treaty is published in Spain’s official State Bulletin, the BOE, of May 15, 2014.

Countdown to Miss Gibraltar 2015 THE SHOW promises to be a great night’s entertainment and is to be held at the Alameda Open Air Theatre
JULY 4 will see The Miss Gibraltar 2015 Pageant take place on the Rock, as the Gibraltar Cultural Services launch this year’s contest to find Miss Gibraltar. Young ladies were invited to sign up to the 2015 Miss Gibraltar Pageant earlier this year, and now that the 12 Gibraltar ladies have received their numbers, it’s all systems go! With a pedigree stretching back nearly half a century, winning Miss Gibraltar could be the ticket to Miss World. The first ever Miss Gibraltar contest was staged in 1959. The winner at that momentous event was Miss Viola Abudarham, (even though she was married at the time.) But In 2009, after
almost 50 years of participation, Miss Gibraltar, Kaiane Aldorino, was crowned Miss World. This year’s Pageant will be held on July 4, and will be produced by Santos Productions for the Ministry of Culture, and will be staged at the Alameda Open Air Theatre. Contenders the likes of Nadiuska Ghio, Dawn Gaul, and Lorraine Evans will be lining up for the classic event that will see the winner receive: £2,000 cash, a £3,500 clothing allowance, and the golden ticket to represent Gib at the Miss World Contest. The show on July 4 promises to be a great night’s entertainment. International acts to grace the show with their presence in the past have included: Spanish guitarist, Paco de Lucia, Elaine Paige, and Michael Bentine, as well as pop stars Whigfield and Sean Maguire.
WINNER: Kaiane Aldorino went on to be crowned Miss World 2009.

artists, who will be sharing the stage with those who are well and truly cemented into the music scene. Headliners like Kings Of Leon and Duran Duran will rock the stage. By their sides will be an impressive supporting cast, with acts like Tom
Paloma Faith.
Odell, Rae Morris, The Feeling, Lawson, Third World, Reach, Strange Brew, Tim Garcia featuring Afterhours, and Paddy Taylor. One would be over the moon with the lineup above, but the festival organisers have treated fans to even more, by adding the likes of Paloma Faith, Madness, Kaiser Chiefs, Hudson Taylor, Dub Colassus, Reach and Guy Valarino to the amazing lineup.

It’s time to get involved… JUNE starts with the full moon and this fiery influence will help you to believe in yourself Sally Trotman
JUNE is here and it’s time to get involved! This month begins with the full moon in Sagittarius on June 4. This fiery influence is helping you to know yourself, be yourself, honour yourself and believe in yourself. The archer fires his arrows high, and he is asking the same of you.

THE ‘logical you’ isn’t always in the mood to be rational Erica Russell Watson: My journey – and I’m driving SINCE the major events of last week I haven’t got much to report apart from the first signs of the regrowth of two eyelashes. Stop the press! It might seem insignificant but honestly losing my eyebrows and eyelashes has had quite a big impact on me. Of course I knew it would happen and also that, like my hair, they would grow back. The ‘logical you’ however isn’t always in the mood to be rational. When I look at the ghost like face that stares back at me from the mirror I still don’t recognise myself. It is almost as if I were absent. I combat this by putting my wig on and a bit of lipstick and the world seems brighter. After all it won’t be forever. I want to concentrate more on talking about emotions. Whether you are currently dealing with your
own cancer or that of a loved one I think that the emotional turmoil is far greater than the practical A-Z of dealing with the disease. When you are first diagnosed with cancer there are a series of steps to take in varying forms from surgery to chemotherapy to ra-

diotherapy depending on the type of cancer you have. It gives you a structure to follow and provides a routine with short term goals to reach, like the next chemo session for example. Once this stage is over and you start to examine your life a
little more and what the future holds then things can become more complicated. Last week I was told that I was to look after myself and come back in six months’ time. Whilst I was waiting there were a number of ladies all at different stages of their cancer recovery. One particular woman had reached her five year mark with the all clear so skipped off happily. Another lady had just received the news that her cancer had come back after years in remission and another that her cancer had spread to her bones. It was a reminder that I may have to face any number of outcomes in the long run. Like life, cancer seems to be a lottery. I have been so focused on beating cancer and almost treating it with disdain that as I slow down and start to think more, all sorts of things come to mind. I imagine as I am now a single parent family that I feel an even greater need to survive. The children are having a hard enough time coming to terms with losing their father. Now is not the moment for me to sink or falter.
SLEEP: Not getting enough affects productivity at work. LACK of sleep is being blamed for low productivity at work. Researchers say that smoking, drinking and eating does not affect productivity as much as not getting enough sleep does. The study of more than 21,000 UK employees was carried out by Cambridge University and Rand Europe and found that those who slept for less than six hours a night were notably less pro-
ductive at work than those on seven or eight hours sleep. Employees with financial concerns and mental health issues also had lower productivity, as well as those who felt bullied or were under unrealistic time pressures. A lack of sleep, even for just a few nights, can also raise the risk of diabetes as insulin struggles to regulate blood sugar.

FIX IT: I’ve always found the simplest way is the best orthotics.
Bunions explained By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com I WAS horrified to read on the NHS website (usually a reliable if rather conventional source) that the ‘cause of bunions is unknown.’ What Utter Nonsense!!! We know the cause and have done for decades - excess pressure on the joint at the base of the big toe. This pressure causes the joint to twist out of alignment and swell, causing the typical ‘bump’ as the bones move out of place and get swollen. • It’s simple: Poor foot function causes pressure. Fix the foot function, relieve the pressure - solve the problem. • Fix the foot The only way to resolve this issue is to fix the foot function. Now there are complicated ways to do this and simple ways. I’ve always found that simple is best - orthotics. I know, I know, it’s a dirty word, it conjures visions of huge orthopaedic shoes or insoles so big you can only wear slippers. For Ever (cue dramatic music). Eternally
condemned to trainers and ugly shoes. Or does it? Actually no it doesn’t. Modern orthotics (like the kind I use) are slim, discrete and can be worn in pretty much any shoe, even, gasp, heels! Will they be as effective in four inch stiletto Louboutins? No, but my daughter has worn them for over a decade in just about every shoe imaginable, including the strappy sandals at her wedding. • Options According to the NHS website ‘Nonsurgical treatments don’t improve the appearance of your foot. Surgery may be considered depending on the level of deformity.’ And that is the point of bunion surgery - to correct the appearance of the foot. Not to treat the symptoms but to correct how it looks. Let’s be clear - orthotics will relieve the pressure. What surgery does is shave the bone so the bump is smaller. But it DOESN’T fix the problem, it treats the appearance of your foot. If you don’t correct how you walk then you will, quite simply, walk your bunions back. After all that pain and risk and time on crutches you will have to repeat surgery, again and again and again as you haven’t fixed the problem.

Some tips for summer SUMMER is fast approaching which means scorching hot days, drying winds and strong sunlight. That brings a whole lot of challenges when trying to look your best and keep in top condition. Here are some top tips to help see you through the summer. Drink plenty of water to reduce the risk of heat stroke. Start the day with at least one large glass of water. Drink another large glass of water before stepping outdoors. It would help you hydrate your skin from within. Protect your eyes with large sunglasses. Sun exposure increases the risk of cataracts so put on those shades. Think SPF. Go for a sunblock. Use a lotion over your face and body with at least SPF 15 to ward off the skin cancer inducing UV rays. Use it liberally and reapply frequently. Besides increasing the risk of skin cancer, exposure to the sun’s UV rays damages your skin and causes premature aging. Hence the best antiaging skin care involves the use of a sunblock. When it comes to make-up, go light. Switch
from a foundation to a tinted moisturiser or sun make-up. It would reduce your risk of a make-up meltdown. Lighten your skin care in summer. This is the time when your skin gets oilier and more pimple prone. You might want to switch to skin care products that are water-

For more glamour, try a coloured mascara in the same shade if possible. Wear a hat to protect your hair and for more shade from the blazing summer sun. For night, line and colour your lips with lip liner. Then go over your coloured lips with a lip gloss. This would outlast your usual lipstick, and is perfect for summer.

New drug claims to set fat on fire SCIENTISTS have created a new drug which they claim helps people to lose weight by setting their ‘fat on fire.’ The treatment has shown encouraging results in early tests, suggesting it may accelerate the rate at which fat is burned off by the body.
It works by promoting the production of more ‘healthy’ brown fat and less ‘unhealthy’ white fat. It is this white fat that soaks up calories and stores them in bellies, love handles and thighs, raising the risk of heart disease and type two diabetes. The healthier brown fat burns off calo-
ries and generates heat for the body as it does so. Researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany discovered that a particular enzyme triggers the conversion of food into more brown fat and less white fat.

True cost of being a Celiac sufferer PEOPLE in Spain who suffer from Celiac disease do not get any help with the extra expense By Gemma Quinn ONE in 150 people in Spain have Celiac disease, although it is estimated that this intolerance to gluten in wheat, barley and rye also affects another 400,000 who have not been diagnosed. That’s according to FACE; the Federation of Associations of Celiac Spain. Trying to consume foods without gluten is not cheap. FACE reports that to fill the fridge with celiac friendly products costs around €126 more per month than those without this kind of intolerance. Over the course of a year, that equates to around €1,500, an extra expense these patients must pay out of their own pocket because they do not receive any state aid. Spain is one of the few European countries that does not
give any help to people with Celiac disease. In the UK for example, gluten-free foods are free up to 16 years and from 65; in France patients receive €45 a month to help cover costs whereas in Denmark that figure is €200. Supermarkets in Spain such as Mercadona, Lidl and Carrefour are now launching their own range of gluten-free products to help shoppers find the right food, but eating out in restaurants can still be an issue. Symptoms of Celiac’s can be pain and a swollen abdomen, indigestion, vomiting, mouth sores and weight loss. CELIAC DISEASE: One in 150 people in Spain suffer from this including Patricia Conde, a Spanish TV presenter.

I’M a bit apprehensive about this week’s column! The last time I wrote about Sir Cliff Richard or ‘Cliffgate’, as I dubbed it - South Yorkshire police force’s handling of sex abuse allegations dating back to 1985 - my article attracted numerous letters to this paper’s Letters page and, at the time of writing, 28 five-star votes and 25 (a record?) readers’ vitriolic comments: both for and against Sir Cliff. News this time round concerns the sale of the property belonging to Sir Cliff which was the scene of one of the most controversial police raids in recent times. Confirmed by his close friend Cilla Black, she has also expressed concerns about his welfare: “Cliff told me he’s just put the flat on the market. It’s the saddest thing for him but he had to do it. He said
CLIFFGATE: Is the thin blue line becoming invisible?
There’ll always be those who seize the opportunity of making money by making accusations which, 30 years on, nobody can prove or disprove
he never wants to live there again. It’s awful. Cliff is not all right, not at all. He doesn’t want to go back there because he’s worried this is still hanging over him. When the police raided, it was an invasion of his privacy. He will never, ever go back there again. I don’t blame him.” More ‘allegations’ (strongly denied by Sir Cliff) reportedly surfaced
following this highly-publicised police raid. Sadly, there’ll always be individuals who seize the opportunity of making money by simply making accusations which, 30 years on, nobody can categorically prove or disprove. How many of us can truthfully say where we were and what we did 30 years ago? Wow, I can hardly re-

Namely, that child protection chief, Sue Berelowitz, criticised for failing to speak out about widespread sexual abuse by British Pakistani gangs, quit her job with a six-figure payoff only to be immediately rehired on almost £1,000 a day. This is not so much to do with child protection as with the patently abusive, cynical manner in which the public sector almost routinely ‘enhances’ people’s pensions by offering them fat ‘redundancy’ cheques prior to retirement, then retains them in some way or other subsequently.

Sangria, thanks to the Romans THE story of the birth of Sangria dates back to Roman times, when the Romans invaded Spain around 200BC and conquered the country. Following their victory, they planted the vineyards that became the main produce for making Sangria. The Romans discovered red grapes were the best for making wine, while the locals used the red wine as a base to make variations of punch that were refreshing and fortifying. Because of the fact these punches were red, the name Sangria (blood in Spanish), was born. Most creations of Sangria derive from Rioja, Brandy, spices and fruit. Many bars marinate the fruit and spices in the sangria which really show their flavour on the day they are served, so don’t be shy, get fruity! Now Sangria is a popular summer drink internationally, even in the United States where it was proudly presented at the World´s Fair, New York back in 1964. Summertime is the perfect time to sip some sangria, with your meal with your family or a jug shared by an intimate two. SANGRIA: Many bars marinate the spices and fruit.

Ice cream, devoured in victory and is fit for a king RELAX in the sun and choose some of the best ice creams that have evolved - enjoy! By Wendy Ann Cowham ALTHOUGH no particular inventor can lay claim to the creation of ice cream, it is dated in history that Alexander the Great had a craving for snow and ice which was covered in honey and nectar which probably set a trend for others to follow. Italian merchant traveller, Marco Polo took a trip to the Far East and upon his return to Italy he presented a recipe which had similarities to that of a sorbet. The frozen dessert became popular and the Italians then were creating delicacies that they called ‘creamed ice.’ These went down very well with the French royalty at the time, served up to Henry II, and in 1660 ice cream became available to the general public.
DELICIOUS FLAVOURS: Today ice cream parlours are on every street corner.
It was the Sicilian Procopio that actually introduced the recipe of blending milk, cream butter and eggs at the first cafe in Paris ‘Cafe Procope.’
The Americans caught on to the trend in the 19th century, and ice cream was sold in soda parlours, hence ice cream soda, and ice cream was an important part of
raising the moral of troops in Wo r l d War II. In fact in 1945 the first ‘Floating ice cream parlour’ was built for the sailors out in the South Pacific! Ice cream became so popular in the United States that they celebrated their war victory with it where they claimed to have licked around 40 pint jugs per person! Today we see ice cream parlours on every street corner which the Spanish call Heladerias displaying

DID you know that strawberries are classed as a bona fide super food? Not only are they rich in antioxidants and include masses of vitamin C, but they also help to keep the wrinkles at bay! The strawberry is one of the most popular fruits in the world that has been devoured by fruit lovers since Roman times. The first garden strawberry was bred in Brittany, France in the 18th century, has since been grown worldwide, and according to the Germplasm Resources Network, there are now 103 distinct species and subspecies of the strawberry plant.

This delicious summer delicacy has a history for only being fit for royalty, as a wedding breakfast, or at high profile events such as Wimbledon, and is said to be an aphrodisiac (hence the newlyweds!). Because strawberries contain anthocyanidin, they can help to reduce any inflammation problems, cancer and heart disease. The fibre and fructose content is said to be beneficial to help regulate blood sugar levels and some diabetic sufferers find it a good way to enjoy a sweet treat. Some people are hypersensitive to birch pollen allergies so they may not take to strawberries as well as other people do. On the whole the strawberry has more going for it than most fruits and they are great for helping the waistline as 100g contains only 32 calories and 0.3g of fat, a much better option for people on a diet! This summer, try to include strawberries into your diet, they are perfect with ice cream and a good asset to your health.

IT is not kind or safe to allow a dog freedom in a car. You and the dog will feel much safer if it is either secured in a travel kennel or restrained on the floor so it cannot see out of the car or with a dog guard between you and it. An unrestrained dog could fly through the air, go through the windscreen or break your neck in an accident. The National Canine Defence League urges dog owners to give their
dog the same attention they would give a small child when they travel. So always make sure that the dog is properly restrained in the rear of the car. In many parts of Europe it is an offence to allow dogs to be loose or unsecured in cars. A costly fine can result if stopped by the police. Part of the problem is caused when the puppy is brought home on the lap and continues to travel that way while small. When it grows it is put in the back of the car and, not surprisingly, does not like the idea. This can result in barking and jumping about. The owner turns round to shout and an accident can happen. Whose fault? The dog or the owner? Stupid owners let dogs hang their heads out of the window. This can cause severe eye and nose problems and many a dog has been killed having
Small dogs that sit on a driver’s knee or are not secured could distract the driver and heavy fines could follow.

jumped out of the window. Far better for the dog to be on the floor without being able to see out of a window. In most countries, including Spain, your private car becomes a public vehicle when it is on a public highway.

Your conservatory can be used in many ways, the most popular being as an extra lounge or dining area, with access normally from the lounge or kitchen. Modern double-glazing with PVC frames is the most popular construction material for a conservatory, normally built on brick
UP-TO-DATE: A conservatory provides elegant indoor space.
or stone walls to a bespoke size, with traditional and modern designs to choose from to enhance the look of your villa.
Fit a high quality damp-proofing to your foundation and ensure the load bearing walls are strong enough to carry the weight
of the glass conservatory. Solar control glass could be used, this will stop uncomfortable visual glare and keep your conservatory cooler in the summer months and warmer in the winter. The lower a window’s g-value, the greater its ability to insulate against solar heat buildup. For easy maintenance, you could use self-cleaning glass; for the roof area fit laminated safety glass and you can choose from a new generation of window and door locks to ensure your conservatory is secure. Your conservatory will require planning permission from the local town hall, so don’t start work until you have received written permission. With your modern double-glazed conservatory your villa will increase in value, you will enjoy many hours in a beautiful living space.

Survey finds buyers are ready to spend PROPERTY fair found people’s budgets had also increased By Jo Harvie HOME buyers in 2015 have more money in their pockets, or better access to mortgages, and concrete plans to spend, says a survey of attendees at this year’s SIMA property exhibition in Madrid. Event organisers said their
interviews with visitors to the fair found an increase of people with a budget higher than €300,000, from 12.8 per cent of the total number at last year ’s event to 21.6 per cent this year. Those looking to spend less than €150,000 had dropped from 36.5 per cent in 2014 to 22.1 per cent.
The number who said they were confident of getting a mortgage without difficulty had increased from 67 per cent a year ago, to 80.2 per cent. Likewise, the percentage of attendees who said obtaining credit was the biggest block on purchasing a property had halved from 18.3 per cent to 9.1 per cent.
BETTER OFF: Buyers had more money in their pockets.

Courtyards grow in popularity AN inside patio provides a cool and tranquil retreat for city dwellers INTERNAL courtyards are a typical feature of Spanish architecture, with the Roman and North Africaninfluenced style of the ‘Patio Andaluz’ one of the most evocative images of life in the south of Spain. Andalucia loves its flowerdraped and decoratively tiled courtyards so much that they are celebrated in many towns and cities with special fiestas, like the Festival de Patios Cordobeses in Cordoba, which takes place in the middle of May. Participants open the doors to their patios to invite the public in, and a coveted title is awarded to the most beautiful. In recent years, the contest in Cordoba has been split into two categories, for patios in historic buildings and more modern creations, reflecting the continuing popularity of the architectural style. And it’s a style that’s spreading, with architects worldwide picking

FULL OF LIGHT: A courtyard at a private home in Moguer, Andalucia. up on the benefits of an interior patio. “Adding valuable outside space and light to urban homes, internal courtyards are increasingly being included in new developments and
also being added to older homes,” says the Daily Telegraph’s property section, looking at current trends in home construction. A couple of years ago, scientists
at the University of Sevilla established what Spanish families had known all along – that temperatures in a courtyard are cooler than out on the street.
There’s some complex thermodynamics behind that common sense assertion, says architect Juan Manuel Rojas: “These spaces create a mixture of phenomena: stratification (hot air rises and cold air falls); convection (the walls heated throughout the day project air upwards); and flow patterns (whirlwind formation depending on the geometry of the space).” But learning how it works is helping developers to build homes with smaller carbon footprints, making efficient use of the courtyard’s cooling and heating capabilities. The social and psychological benefits of courtyards are also being considered by architects. They provide private, quiet outside space for houses in densely populated cities, or for small communities of homes a courtyard can be a social place for shared activities. But above all, such patios are beautiful spaces, which put daylight, greenery and colour at the heart of the home.
Market conditions make it cheaper to buy than to rent
SIGNING UP: More people obtained a mortgage in March.
RENTING: Tenants use a greater percentage of their income than owners. WITH lower prices following the property crash it is cheaper to buy your own home than rent. According to data from the National Statistics Institute, families who rent in Spain use a greater percentage of income than those who have a mortgage. The average family income in Spain stands at €26,154 a year. With rents across the country averaging €590 a month people in rental homes have to pay out an average 27 per cent of their income to put a roof over their heads. Although that is lower than the maximum level of 35 per cent recommended by the Bank of
Spain, it is still higher than the average mortgage of €489 a month, or 22.4 per cent of monthly income. As always there are exceptions. In Madrid the average rental of €966 a month is 44.3 per cent of income, and in the Basque Country (€900 a month) it is 41.3 per cent of monthly income. When it comes to mortgages the only region to be more expensive to buy in terms of salary than the recommended 35 per cent of income maximum is the Basque Country where it costs 42.1 per cent of income.
Mortgages on the up TOTAL loaned reached more than €2 billion at end of March By Eleanor Hawkins NEW mortgages granted to buy homes in Spain increased by 19.7 per cent in March compared to the same month last year. The total reached 19,806, the 10th consecutive yearon-year increase. Yet although the number
of mortgages taken out increased, the average amount stayed virtually the same as the month before at €101,989, the National Statistics Institute reported. Altogether, the amount loaned by financial institutions for home mortgages reached over €2 billion by the end of March.
The areas that registered the greatest increases in mortgages taken out were Cantabria, Navarra and Madrid. Of the new mortgages taken out during March, 93.2 per cent of them applied a variable interest rate while 6.8 per cent went for fixed interest.

These rising temperatures also increase fire risks and please note that in most areas no fires are now allowed until
Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
JUNE is the month in which gardens, gardening and the use of gardens change from a spring to summer mode. Summer shrubs and lilies are already starting to bloom and vegetables for summer consumption are growing fast. However, to gain the most from all plants watering now needs to be upped in frequency and extent, but naturally less so in gardens wisely planted with the more drought-resistant plants and with vegetable growing areas in shade for a good part of the day. That reminds me, several readers have asked me why the Terra-Cottem soil improvement product is so effective in reducing the extent of watering required. Most important are: 1 The hydrogel part of the composition of the product can absorb 50 times its weight of water and 97 to 98 per cent of this moisture is extractable by the roots of plants.
Rainfall in May was below average so watering frequencies now need to be increased as the soil is being heated up for longer each day.
October. Charcoal and gas fires are allowed in safe installations and away from trees. By the way, a few improvements and corrections to some botanical plant names have been made to the book ‘How to use less water in your garden’, now available from Amazon Books.
SUMMER MODE: More watering needed! 2 The root growth stimulators included in the product ingredients stimulate the growth of both main and fine roots which enables a plant to extract more of the available moisture in the soil, as well as
the fertilizing ingredients. 3 The hydrogels not only absorb moisture but they also have a high water retention which minimises loss of water. For most gardens rainfalls in May were below historic aver-
ages so watering frequencies now need to be increased as not only are
Know your trees! Some can be more dangerous than they look... THERE are some 8,000 plant species in Spain, with around 2,000 of them being indigenous. One that you need to be very aware of, however, is the Manchineel tree, or Hippomane Mancinella. This tree is so dangerous, it is typically marked with a warning sign. The leaves are small and green, and the fruit resembles an apple, which explains the name, a derivative from the Spanish word for small apple ‘manzanilla’. However, this tree is more often known as the ‘little apple of death’, as all parts of the tree are extremely toxic. So much so in fact, that if you burn it and stand near the smoke, you can go blind. If you were to stand under the tree while it is raining, you would get blisters on exposed parts of your body caused by contact with a white milky substance that the tree secretes.
DEADLY TOXIC: The Manchineel tree.

A short game guide - play out of bunkers GET in the sand this week, lose the fear and save yourself some shots that mentality of ‘trying to get the ball out.’ Perhaps the word ‘bunker’ evokes feelings of disaster and panic. This generally leads to players trying to ‘dig the ball out’ of the sand as if it is buried two feet deep.
Jordan Gibb (European Challenge Tour Player)
TOUR PERSPECTIVE Your weekly guide to better golf
LAST week we spoke about the basic chip, a shot I also referred to as the putt chip because of its lack of wrist action and the rhythm of the shot. It is important that you practice this shot regularly because you will find that it gets easier and easier over time and will become invaluable to you. If you are not seeing results, get in contact with me and arrange a one-off chipping lesson as this shot alone will help you gain an extra few points on your stableford score. Today though, I would like to talk about bunker shots. Shots from the sand probably represent the biggest gulf in performance between professionals and amateurs. Professional golfers get up and down more than
Many amateurs are happy just to get the ball out and avoid wrecking their card. It’s the ‘trying to get the ball out’ mentality that is the problem.
BUNKER SHOTS: Get nice and wide with your feet to create a solid base. half the time from all bunkers and almost every time when faced with a simple bunker shot. Many amateurs
on the other hand are happy to just get the ball out and avoid wrecking their card. One of the problems is
First step then is to create a new goal - to splash the ball out close to the pin. Having done that, we must set our club and body up in a way that allows your sand wedge to glide through the sand rather than dig down into it. Your checklist is as follows: 1) Get nice and wide with your feet and create a solid base in the
sand. Your feet should be square to the target or marginally open. They should not aim 45 degrees left as you will see many people trying. 2) Flex your knees more than normal in order to feel lower to the ground. This will also help you get your hands lower which is key to the high soft bunker shot. 3) Open the clubface. Open it a lot. This creates more bounce on the club allowing the club to move through the sand properly. 4) Commit to the swing. Keep your weight central or as little towards the target and keep the hands moving into a full finish. Mental Tip:Think of a bunker shot not as a chip but more like a smooth three quarter wedge swing. Follow these guidelines and you will see improvement in your bunker play. Get in the sand this week, lose the fear and save yourself some shots. For more information or to get in contact with Jordan www.jordangibbgolf.com

Miraflores bowls club MIRAFLORES Bowling Club on May 28, saw the popular bi-weekly, one day, two wood pairs sets match. The format was seven ends, with three groups playing a round robin. The winning pairs of each group in the round robin phase were: Alan turner and Terry Morgan with 15, Dudley Calder and Brenda Collier on 13, and Jeff Turner and Andy Salmon with 12. With Simone Morgan & Jordan Ali losing the tiebreak on the last game, Dudley Calder and Brenda Collier went through to the final play-off. The final play-off once more proved a cliff hanger with Alan and Terry beating Dudley and Brenda 7-1 in the first set, only to be beaten in the second before taking the deciding set to three ends to assure victory.
