Euro Weekly News stands in solidarity with the people of Brussels to whom we send our deepest condolences.

Hearts on their sleeve COSTA DEL SOL says together we stand, divided we fall By Matthew Elliot In the end we will remember not the violence of our enemies but the silence of our friends. Yesterday, however, citizens and civic leaders across the Costa del Sol showed that a moment’s silence is more powerful than a thousand words. People laid bare their solidarity with the victims of the barbaric terrorist attacks in Brussels, as moving ceremonies from Marbella to Mijas bore witness to a swell of sympathy tinged with anger and defiance. Standing before the Belgian flag, which will remain symbolically raised at the town hall, Jose Bernal offered “The solidarity of Marbella to the Belgian community in an especially tough moment after an attack that has also

damaged Europe’s stability.” He was joined by the mayors of Benalmadena, Mijas, and San Roque, along with countless other local leaders who stood united in their condemnation. These were, to be sure, symbolic gestures, unknown to the grieving families who mourn

the loss of their loved ones so violently and suddenly torn from them. But they were symbols nevertheless. Proof, that the people of the Costa del Sol form an indivisible union of humanity with the people of Brussels, the people of Paris, of Madrid, New York and London.

Proof, that whether British or Spanish, fearful or courageous, alone or surrounded by family and friends, one side of the coin cannot exist without the other. Times like these show today, more than ever, the eternal value of community, expressed even across nations, in a wordless minute.

Fuengirola promenade is finally finished PROJECT was halted in 2004 and restarted in 2014

Spring forward JUST a friendly reminder that this Saturday night, you need to move your clock forward an hour. If you forget, you may miss a great football match, a fantastic Easter procession, or the breakfast special at your favourite local restaurant! FINAL SECTION: Has now been reopened to allows cars to pass through it once again.

Victim recovering A 42-YEAR-OLD man who received two gunshot wounds to his hip and abdomen at his home in Mijas on March 10 is recovering well after surgery and has been moved from the intensive care unit to a general ward at the Costa del Sol hospital, hospital sources reported. Guardia Civil investigations on the case continue.

By Matthew Elliott

AFTER more than a decade of strife and inconvenience the Fuengirola promenade is finally complete, save for a few finishing touches. The construction of the fourth section is just about finished and Mayor Ana Mula felt comfortable

enough with the progress to pay a visit with cameras in tow. The project was halted in 2004 by the Spanish government of the day but reignited in 2014 with gusto following the complaints of local residents. Three key stages were identified in January of last year and on Saturday March 19 the

traffic was opened in the promenade’s final section allowing cars to pass through it once again. The mayor also stated there are now 430 new parking spaces which have been built in Carvajal Boulevard on the upper end of the promenade, adding “I think we all are going to enjoy this summer.”

Hard to register

George Peretz QC

Well, after several attempts to register to vote I finally succeeded, not the best to use or is this because they don’t want us to vote? If you do try to register Do NOT give up! But please DO vote! It’s OUR future even if you have never voted before! Philip Broadbank

FORMER CHUMS: David Cameron and Michael Gove. ONE of the first things you learn when you study EU law is that one of its main aims is to protect EU citizens who move to other EU countries. In one important European court case, it was said that any EU citizen can claim “civis europeus sum” – I am a European citizen. So every Brit working, living or owning property in Spain has the basic right to be treated in the same way as a local, and that basic right means that they can get a job, start their own business, or buy a property on the same basis as Spaniards. They can’t be made to pay more taxes than Spaniards. In most cases, they can use public services such as health on the same basis as Spaniards and they can even vote in local elections. Depending on the final outcome of any post-Brexit deal, all of those rights could vanish if the UK leaves the EU. Brits wanting to buy property in Spain could be stopped from doing so in certain areas (as they are in Switzerland). Brits could be made to pay unfair extra on their rental incomes (as France tried to do before it was stopped by the

EU) and they are likely to find access to local health services becomes more expensive and difficult, as it is anywhere outside the EU. Further, Spain, as a member of the Schengen zone, is bound by EU rules to administer a work permit system for highly-skilled workers from non-EEA countries. It is also entitled to stop lessskilled workers from outside the EEA from working at all. You could avoid some of those problems by applying for long-term resident status. But it is largely up to Spain how it deals with such applications. For example, it could impose requirements that you speak excellent Spanish and are integrated into Spanish culture and even as a long-term resident you wouldn’t have rights you enjoy as an EU citizen, for example to have members of your family come and join you. What do Brexiters say? First, they point out that Brits lived in Spain before the EU. That’s true. But they had no automatic right to work, run a business and so on without the say-so of the Spanish government. Rich Brits,

like the prominent Out campaigner Lord Lawson, with his house in France, are probably fine. Countries always welcome the wealthy, and they can pay extra taxes and charges. Less rich Brits may well find things harder. Second, they argue that the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties will help. But the problem with that argument is that Article 70 of that convention, the clause they rely on, only protects rights and obligations ‘created through the execution of the treaty prior to its termination’. It is very unclear what those words mean in the case of Brexit. They would probably stop Spain from confiscating a house bought before Brexit – although the European Convention on Human Rights would probably prevent that anyway. But it is hard to see that that clause would give Brits any continuing right to be treated as an EU citizen in the years after Brexit, when it came to matters such as the rights to work, not to pay extra taxes, to use public health care, to buy further property, or even to carry on living in Spain.

Further, it would be for the Spanish courts and lawmakers to interpret and apply this rule, there would be no right to complain to the EU if it wasn’t respected. So the claim that the Vienna Convention offers any solid protection to expat Brits is simply incorrect, and even Brexiters do not claim that anything in the Vienna Convention could help Brits who merely plan to live or work in Spain but have not yet done so. Third, one can also argue that the UK would do a deal with EU countries to protect the position of British expats, but since Brexiters want to be able to stop or control migration from other EU countries to the UK, and since any deal would have to be even-handed, we can’t expect that any such agreement would give Brits living in or planning to live in Spain anything like the same rights they enjoy now. The truth is Brexiters care much more about meeting migration targets than they do about the position of the one to two million Brits living on the continent, or the millions more who would like to move to the continent when they can.

Do vote Please vote, but understand that ‘fear articles’ like this one are just that, they have no basis in fact this is a piece of fiction designed to scare. Look at the real facts and then make your minds up. Tony Kenny

Make up your own mind This isn’t about balance sheets, trade deals, and other people’s opinions. It is whether you as an individual, think that current EU policy with regard to the Turkish question is right for you. If you have the slightest unease then you must vote out. But don’t take any notice of me, as I am scared witless. You must make up your own mind. Brexit Now

Important vote If you can vote in this referendum then you should, this is a very important referendum, in fact probably more important than a general election as you will probably never get the chance to vote again on this! Vote with your head and your heart. Mike in ESP

By John Smith THE Semana Santa week sees large numbers of visitors flying into Spanish airports from all over Europe, but a combination of a French Air Traffic Controllers strike and the bombings at Brussels Zaventem airport have combined to cause a number of cancellations and delays. Starting on Sunday March 20, the French strike not only caused difficulty for airlines operating flights into France, but also affected airlines that normally overfly French air space, resulting in a request from French authorities for flights to be cancelled to lighten the load on those controllers who were working. Airlines most affected appear to have been the low-cost companies which included easyJet,

Norwegian and Ryanair, although other airlines including British Airways were also hit resulting in delays and cancellations in and out of Malaga until Tuesday. Then, the problems in Brussels meant that additional can-

cellations took place, particularly to airlines such as Brussels Airlines and Jetairfly who serve Zaventem airport, whilst Ryanair who have flights to Charleroi airport around 80 kilometres away from Brussels suffered less disruption.

Airlines for Europe, or A4E, founded by IAG, Air FranceKLM, easyJet, Lufthansa and Ryanair, will be pressurising the French government to take action against the union organising the latest strike in order to stop the chaos.

ANTONIO BANDERAS: Has taken part in the processions in previous years. By Emily Chettle FAMOUS Malaga resident Antonio Banderas is back in Malaga for Holy Week, an appointment he never misses each year. With a brand new luxury penthouse in Alcazabilla, central Malaga, boasting stunning views including the Alcazaba, the Picasso museum and the Roman Theatre, the Zorro actor will not be short of viewpoints to watch the processions. Super fans are expected to get their first glimpse of Hollywood legend on Friday when he will be hosting the annual charity dinner at Edgar Neville auditorium, with capacity for about 250

people, in aid of the Tears and Favours Foundation where he is chairman of the board. Accompanied by his partner Nicole Kimpel, the gala dinner will be raising money for terminally ill cancer patients and Malaga University, as donations from donors and private companies are expected to flood in. For years now, Banderas has been committed in his support of the traditional religious ceremonies of Semana Santa in his home town of Malaga. Usually renting a hotel room in Larios Street, where he can watch from a luxury room, this year Banderas will have his private balcony to watch the thrones as they come and go.

Positive figures for Easter tourism in Marbella Credit Nito / Shutterstock

THE majority of visitors are from Spain, followed by British, German and French tourists By Emily Chettle AS tourists flood to the Costa del Sol for an Easter break, Marbella hotels are expected to be completely booked up according to the local tourism department. Between Thursday March 24 and Saturday March 26 hotels are expected to be running between 90 per cent and 100 per cent capacity. It seems Easter tourists have good taste, as bookings for top-class hotels have sky-rocketed meaning the higher the category of hotel the more likely it is to be booked up, according to the figures. Five-star hotels have received the highest number of bookings with 80 per cent of the rooms already booked. Following suit are the four-star hotels

which are currently showing 77 per cent of the rooms have been booked, and finally all the hotels with less than four stars, which are about 74 per cent full.

80 per cent of five-star rooms have been booked in Marbella hotels over the Easter break The majority of visitors are from Spain, followed by British, German and French tourists. Tourism councillor Miguel Luna said: “They are very positive figures, which are better than last year, with a clear predominance of the top-class tourism of our town.�

EASTER BREAKS: Five-star hotels are the most popular.

El Palo footballer stabbed on the pitch FOOTBALL has seen plenty of flare ups in the past with pitch invasions marring the Old Firm rivalry and fascist salutes in Italy, but the beautiful game took a sinister turn in Malaga over the weekend when a player was stabbed on the pitch. The incident occurred during the third division regional game between the respective B teams of El Palo and Alhaurin de la Torre at El Palo’s city

ground on March 20. El Palo won the match 1-0 in a hugely significant victory over their bitter rivals, that will see them promoted next season and prompted their fans rushing onto the pitch in celebration. The jubilance then saw a dark twist when, according to witnesses, three or four fans then approached an Alhaurin player and stabbed him twice in the abdomen.

The 25-year-old was immediately attended to by paramedics and taken to hospital where he has made a solid recovery. The assistant coach of El Palo was also injured as he went to help the stricken player and was wounded in the leg, later requiring nine stitches. Some in attendance reported that friction between the player and an El Palo defender may have sparked the violence.

Students stranded in Scotland A GROUP of students from the Costa del Sol were left stranded in Edinburgh after Ryanair cancelled their scheduled flight to Malaga. The huge headache was a consequence of a strike by notorious French air traffic controllers, who managed to massively disrupt European air travel across two days. The 56 schoolchildren, aged between 14 and

17, had visited the beautiful Scottish capital for a trip over the Easter holidays, but were left perplexed by a last-minute notice from Ryanair. The Irish airline put the group up in a hotel for the evening, although the teachers were irked that the company did not alert them directly but rather they heard the news through the Spanish consul in Edinburgh.

Half-mast at local fire station for fallen hero BENALMADENA council expressed their heartfelt condolences to his family By Matthew Elliott THE flags were flown at half-mast in honour of a Benalmadena firefighter who tragically fell to his death on Monday March 21. The 41-year-old was taken to hospital in critical condition after falling from the top of a warehouse in Arroyo de la Miel. After receiving a call for help from the local authorities, the man had scaled the building to rescue a bird when he slipped on a plastic cover and crashed to the ground from a height of 10 metres. Emergency services were immediately alerted and the man was rushed to Carlos Haya hospital in Malaga with head traumas. Doctors were unable to save him. The Benalmadena council expressed their “heartfelt condolences and full support” to the man’s family and friends, while mayor Victor Navas also offered his condolences and the “solidarity, esteem and respect of all the people.”

Marbella Now is uniting the talented and diverse SPECIAL operation has been divided into two key phases By Nicole King OVER the past 18 months I’ve had a great vantage point from behind the scenes to view, analyse and amaze at the unique way in which 137 nationalities cohabit in Marbella. So many talented and diverse people have come through the radio and TV studios; all with something to say, someone to help and something to share; all incentivised by very different motives, all from such diverse backgrounds and cultures. In this time it has become apparent that not only do the ‘137’ have a mutual love of living in Marbella, many also share common ground on issues which could be better addressed as a community. Precisely for this reason the idea came to mind to get us together and see what we can do, by joining all these multi-national talented people together.

Claiming back your community fees THE law of horizontal property, the law that governs all communities throughout Spain specifies, the community budget approved at the general meeting every year should be shared by all the owners according to the coefficients of each property or alternatively in a manner previously agreed by all the owners. In addition the community should also determine which expenses and overheads are paid by all of the owners and which expenses and overheads are paid only by some of the owners. Most communities have statutes that specify the breakdown of the coefficients and the exemptions, however some choose not to follow them. For example; in some communities every owner pays the same and not proportionally according to their co-efficient (percentage) of ownership. In other cases, all the owners pay for some of the overheads that should only be paid for by some of the owners. This is not important, what is important, is what is written in the community statutes and whether these conditions are being followed correctly. For example; in a community with separate garages and apartments, the owners of the garages have to contribute to the costs of the communal pool and gardens enjoyed by the owners of the apartments. Whereas in another community they do not. Neither is correct nor incorrect, if the commu-

Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

nity statutes do not specify there is an exception for the garage owners, then they must pay towards the gardens and pool just like the apartment owners. If this is considered perhaps to be unfair, as the garage owners never use the pool etc, then the community could choose to amend the way the payments are divided, but only if there is an unanimous vote to do so. To be clear, all the owners, 100%, must be in favour of making the change. If not, then statutes can not legally be amended. In the real world many communities just make the adjustments without getting the consent of every owner and apply a different financial overhead breakdown. However if after some years an owner realises this and complains, then several questions arise. Firstly, is the community, having instigated a payment change and followed it for several years obliged to continue with it? The answer is no. A simple majority of owners can ap-

prove to re-adopt the original statutes because they were not legally changed by an - obligatory - unanimous vote. If a majority do not vote for the changes, then a single owner can take action in court and seek to have the original statutes re-instated. Secondly can an owner or owners ask to have their money refunded? The answer is also no. Even though an owner may not have been aware at the time of making an over or even underpayment, no owner can seek to recover funds that they had indirectly approved at a previous community meeting. The lack of taking legal action in previous years implies a kind of tacit consent, meaning it is no longer possible to revise any previous payments. Except that is, if a complaint was made to the court by the owner or owners within one year of the approval of each budget and the way in which the budget was divided between the members of the community at that time. In short there is, as they say, “no point in crying over spilt milk” but owners are free to seek changes to forthcoming budgets if the statutes are not followed correctly. As usual we the solicitors for Intercala administration advise the readers of our monthly article to seek professional advice in all matters concerning the law.

CHILDREN: Dressed in their traditional costumes.

International Day CELEBRATIONS reflecting cultures By John Smith TEACHERS at the International School in Estepona were faced with something of a dilemma as to the best way that they could celebrate the end of the spring term and then it became clear, use the very differences of the children to bring them together and so was born International Day.

The ruling on March 21 states that he will then spend a further 16 years on conditional release and will have 14 years of absolute disqualification from the

profession but surprisingly not a life-time ban. The convicted sex-offender will have to pay €30,000 in compensation for moral damages to each of the families of the minors, who were both aged nine when the crime occurred. According to the sentence the teacher sexually abused both minors between 2012 and 2014.

Up to 200 homes face repossession BANK fraud allegations are now under investigation By John Smith A TRULY alarming story has been brought to the attention of the Euro Weekly News by two of our readers in Mojacar, Almeria. In 2006, the couple were persuaded to join a scheme which required them to pass over the deeds to their property and in return they were to receive €250,000 which would be deposited in an investment account which would generate income for them over a period of years and at the end of the agreement, they could repay the amount loaned. Supposedly, their lump sum was guaranteed against

loss or maladministration by a secure insurance policy which would cover them in the event that the investment company entered into financial difficulty.

The system would appear to be unfair to these homeowners The deeds were passed to Landsbanki Luxembourg SA and the money was supposedly invested with a third party, Lex Life and Pension Fund, which they later discovered was a subsidiary of Landsbanki. Landsbanki went into liqui-

dation in 2008 and it appears that all of the so called protected funds in the Lex Life and Pension Fund had mysteriously disappeared as had the promised insurance cover. This means that this couple, as well as others throughout Spain, Ireland and other parts of Europe, were considered to be debtors by the liquidators of the failed group and for the past seven years, they have been threatened with having their houses repossessed. Despite the fact that they formed a group which has commissioned lawyers to act on their behalf and despite the fact that legal advice received suggests that the whole

scheme was not only unworkable but as it had not been legally approved in Spain it was fraudulent, appears to have made no difference to the liquidators. They have just been advised that a large number of pensioners’ properties in Almeria and Marbella are under imminent threat of repossession. So far 28 of their members have already died since this saga began. It does seem unusual that having lost the lump sum invested with the Landsbanki group, rather than return the deeds of the properties, the liquidators should now be attempting to seize their properties as well.

Turning tricks WOMEN were arrested in Puerto Banus bar By Matthew Elliott A PAIR of female thieves who allegedly fooled rich elderly men into revealing their credit card pin codes have been arrested in Marbella. The victims fit into a pattern of rich, foreign men and the two women apparently flirted with them to get them to reveal their secret numbers. Once the thieves had the passwords, they reportedly had the collaboration of two more people with credit card processing machines who were in charge of purchasing

items with the cards until they ran out of credit. The police estimate that the total amount stolen reaches â‚Ź50,000. The investigation started in February 2015 when a resident reported that two women, who had gone with him to the car park, had stolen his credit cards. After checking the receipt from his bank, he saw that he had up to 14 different charges valued at â‚Ź4,800. From that date on, a further seven people reported similar cases. As the investigation went on, officers discovered that

the women used to catch their victims in a bar located in Puerto Banus. It seemed that they might have given their victims some kind of substance dissolved in their drinks. Once the victims were under the effects of the drug, they took them to an ATM in order to discover their pin numbers. The women were arrested in the Puerto Banus bar where they approached their victims with policemen seizing a card processing machine from the handbag of one of them.

Attacks on doctors show a decrease IT may surprise many to learn that on March 16 an international day against aggression towards doctors took place. While in plenty of regions of the world doctors will be risking their lives on a daily basis, luckily in Malaga there was cause for celebration. There were only seven recorded instances of aggression towards doctors in the entire province in 2015, less than half the 18 chalked up throughout the previous year. Meanwhile there were 66 attacks in Andalucia and 361 across the whole of Spain. Media are suggesting that a possible cause of the decrease is related to the strengthening of punishments. An attack on a doctor is considered a crime against a public servant who are apparently

valued more than the average citizen. Sociologists have been pondering the question of deterrence and punishment for aeons, however, and, given the tiny numbers involved, coincidence is the likely real cause. This year there have been two attacks on doctors registered in the province, both occurring in January: one in the Arroyo de la Miel health centre and the other in Malaga City. The president of Malaga Doctors Association Juan Jose Sanchez Luque said: “It is inadmissible for doctors to face this kind of situation when they are trying to save lives.” He also outlined the importance for the doctors to report all the attacks with no exceptions.

Father David entered the priesthood quite late in life after studying Theology at Manchester University towards the end of a successful career at Manchester Airport. Following his ordination David looked after a

Church of England Parish in Hale Cheshire before moving to Spain nine years ago to establish a Parish for expats. Based in the Mollina area, David soon became the Padre of the Mollina Branch of the Royal British Legion and three years later was also appointed Padre of Spain South District . A one time player and lifelong supporter of Oldham Athletic, David's ashes will be scattered over his revered Boundary Park pitch. RIP Father David you will be long remembered.

From Russia with love ENHANCED flight connections between the Costa del Sol and Russia will take advantage of Marbella’s luxury market to strengthen the Russian tourist presence across the province. Tourist chiefs tasked with increasing visitor traffic to Malaga airport, the gateway to the Costa del Sol, have been in Moscow networking and forging new strategic alliances. The future will see flights operating from more Russian cities and an increase in services from the two which currently serve the Costa del Sol – St Petersburg and Moscow. Flights from those two key cities have already been increased leading to an enormous increase in air traffic above Malaga this year. The Costa del Sol tourism department representative Francisco Salado said that the

growth of the Russian market was already noticeable in 2015, as the arrivals of Russian tourists to Malaga airport increased by 17.6 per cent, reaching 71,000. Moreover, in January 2016 alone, the number of Russian tourists in Malaga airport increased by roughly a quarter. The province has also been boosted by geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, as Russian tourists have been forbidden from travelling to Turkey in the wake of a standoff between the nations over a downed fighter jet. Until now Turkey has been one of the favourite destinations for wealthier Russians looking for warm weather, good food and luxurious surrounds. That torch will now pass to the Costa del Sol, and Marbella in particular.

BENALMADENA REGATTA: A firm favourite on the Costa’s nautical calendar. By Emily Chettle BENALMADENA Maritime Nautical Club is holding the 14th annual Costa del Sol nautical week on March 24, 25 and 26. The event consists of five regattas, two of which will be

Aquarium presents jellyfish exhibition UNRAVELLING the mysteries of an ancient sea creature, the Sea Life aquarium in Benalmadena is presenting a new jellyfish exhibition. March 17 saw the opening of the exhibition, which is an exploration of the wonders surrounding the gelatinous sea creatures which have existed on the planet for more than 700 million years. Visitors can start to understand the complex life cycles of these invertebrates, which are made up of a 95 per cent of water

and are in fact neither jelly nor fish. Jellyfish lack backbones, heart, blood, brain, and gills, and as many people are aware, possess stinging cells located on the tentacles or over the body. The exhibition has several types of jellyfish on show including moon, blue, compass, golden and fire. Marketing director of the aquarium Maria Morondo said: “It is a very educative exhibition which is a great opportunity for learning what to do in the event of a jellyfish sting”.

regatta has become a firm favourite in the Costa’s nautical calendar. Races are expected to start around midday depending on weather conditions. Organisers state that race itineraries will depend on the direction and strength of the wind.

German ship docks GERMAN frigate Ausberg paid a visit to Malaga after returning from Syria. On March 16 the ship arrived with two helicopters stationed on the back.

Hamming it up FORGET chocolate eggs over Easter

JAMON IBERICO: Is big business. By Emily Chettle FORGET chocolate eggs over Easter, it’s all about ham. Jamon Iberico is big business in Spain and any aficionado worth their salt will know cutting ham is of the utmost importance, which is why San Pedro near Marbella is to hold their first ham cutting competition. The Plaza de la Iglesia in San Pedro Alcantara will host the cutting contest on April 3, which is likely to attract some

of the top professionals in Spain. The contest will start at 12pm and there will be six prestigious ham cutters participating. San Pedro Deputy Mayor Rafael Piña said: “The town council will always support this event, which not only gives us prestige, but also a big impact on the media.” Attendees at the event will be able to taste the delicious meaty morsels for as little as €5. And all money will go to a local charity. Manager of

Costa Catering company Javier Salas commented: “It is the first time that something like that happens in San Pedro and it is expected to continue.” There has long been a competitive element in mastering the fine art of carving Spanish ham. Cutting ham was once the job of the butcher, the waiter or the chef in the restaurant. Now, however, it is a profession, and one that requires talent, extensive knowledge, practice and a steady hand.

New golfing techniques GOLFER Luis Martinez has developed a concept to help amateur golfers IT is estimated that there are some 200 million amateur golfers around the world and due to both time and financial restraints, the highest percentage of them are in the over 55 age group which means that whilst they are generally fit to participate in the sport, they will not be as flexible as a younger person. If one considers the activities of professional golfers, it becomes clear that when they are not playing, they are training and in the top flight have access to the finest medical advice as well as specialist sports physiotherapists. The average amateur however, no matter how dedicated, doesn’t have the same level of support and it is a known fact that many golfers develop hip and back problems because of their swings.

LUIS MARTINEZ: Demonstrating his new swing. Luis Martinez, who has been a pro-golfer for more than 25 years, has developed

a concept which he refers to as ‘Less is more’, whereby he teaches the amateur golfer to

change his stance and swing. Rather than drive like a professional with a great deal

of body movement, he says that the amateur should keep a straight back which doesn’t hurt the length of the drive but does help the long-term health of the golfer. This innovative new concept is taught at Magna Marbella Clinic where Luis films each patient/player swinging a club, and by audio visual means and teaching he is able to change their action and if required. The clinic can also supply restorative physiotherapy or medical treatment to counter any long-term problems that have developed due to the style of play. Already, this relatively short course of treatment is proving popular with golfers from different parts of Europe as well as Spain, who are travelling to the clinic to take advantage of the training.

Pur-lease feed us FEEDING stray street cats in Malaga will no longer demand a fine under new rules set out by Malaga City Council. From next summer, the council will train animal association members to feed the cats without being penalised. Local ‘feeders’ will carry a card so police can identify the trained feeders. Aman animal association said that all the controversy about feeding cats was caused by the €217 fine to a resident of Parque Mediterraneo neighbourhood in Malaga for feeding street cats. Marcos Canzian, Aman President reminded the council that before the elections the mayor had promised to allocate €30,000 for sterilisation of the hungry felines, but this is pointless if they cannot be fed. Thirteen people have been penalised for feeding street animals so far this year as, according to the police, feeding the cats causes damage and an unhealthy environment in public places.

Allergy attack HAY FEVER sufferers are being warned to expect their symptoms to flare up in the next month with unusually warm temperatures triggering early blooming of some offending plant species. A mixture of warm weather and rain in the province is the perfect recipe for the production of pollen from grass species, cypress and olive trees. Olive trees and grasses are both species that affect 80 per cent of people with allergies in Malaga Province. According to Vegetal Biology Professor of Malaga University Maria del Mar Trigo, who predicts the levels will be higher this year compared to 2015, although last year did experience less than average pollen counts. During the spring to summer months excess pollen from reproducing plant life is the main cause for blocking people up – with allergic reactions such as sneezing, congestion, watery eyes and itchy eyes, nose and throat.

New requirements for entry to US AS of April 1, 2016, travellers to the USA who would normally qualify for entry under the US visa waiver programme (VWP) will also need an e-Passport. The visa waiver programme, which allows citizens of some 38, mainly European countries, to enter the USA without a visa has been amended. Previously the requirement for a traveller was only to have a digital or machine readable passport. Most Europeans, but not all, will already have an e-Passport with the electronically readable, embedded digital chip containing the biometric details shown on the data (photograph) page of

their passport. A biometric or e-Passport is easily recognisable by the internationally accepted logo of a circle in a split rectangle, on the cover. An ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation), an additional security measure used for travellers and holidaymakers visiting the USA for up to 90 days, for business, pleasure or transit, will still be required. ESTAs should be applied for online, at least 72 hours prior to boarding a cruise ship or an aeroplane bound for the USA. The changes, although they start on April 1, are no joke as without an e-Passport entry into the USA will probably be denied.

Home Insurance and Public Liability WHAT IS PUBLIC LIABILITY IN REGARD TO HOME INSURANCE? If someone slips or falls and suffers an injury whilst on your property, they could make a claim against you for damages. Public liability insurance will cover you against these types of potential third party claims. Here are some examples so you can better understand the risks involved if you fail to protect yourself against third party liability, also known as public liability.

TYPES OF THIRD PARTY OR PUBLIC LIABILITY If you own a swimming pool, paddle court or if you are renting out your property as a holiday home, anyone visiting your property could potentially make a claim against you for injury if they hurt themselves. You could be held liable even if it was their fault entirely. This also includes tradesmen entering your property in order to maintain it, such as gardeners, electricians, and swimming pool or boiler maintenance. Public liability insurance will cover you against any potential third party claim resulting from an injury happening on your property. You will need to check which types of third party cover you require for your property and take out a specific policy to cover, for example, medical claims or negligence.

COVER YOURSELF AGAINST DAMAGE CAUSED TO THIRD PARTY PROPERTY Should the structure of your property cause any material damage to another property (through explosion, water, or fire damage), you will be held responsible for any costly repairs. To avoid having to foot the repair bill you must take out a home insurance with public liability. WHAT DOES PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE COVER?

Should a third party injure themselves on your property, they could make a claim against you for medical costs to cover their treatment. This can be expensive, especially if they have private medical insurance. You may also have to pay for any legal costs incurred should the claim require legal representation or court settlement. Linea Directa can provide you with advice on how to check how much public liability insurance you currently have and provide you with options on how to adequately cover yourself and your family.

Can your foreign currency provider beat Cambridge Global Payments? GAINING a reputation as the company that offers a unique service tailored to each individual customer THE reason Cambridge Global Payments launched their private client divisional offices here in Spain last year was because they believed there was a gap in the market.

HEAVY rains, ferocious dogs and evergreen British spirit lie in wait

COMPETA: Flush with avocado trees, it is perfect for the penniless... just not in a storm. A SPLUTTERING Euro Weekly News van spat me out amid the stark void of the sierras, so clueless as to where I was that they might have blindfolded me on the way. Stranded for 24 hours with no money or phone, I was tasked with finding charity by throwing myself at its mercy. It had all seemed more romantic indoors. Throwing caution to the wind, I flung on my hood and made haste for the whitewashed village nestled in the hillside. I crept around the silent streets like a sly drifter and was barked at ferociously by a salivating sentry, a piercing silence in between its roars. Ignoring the buck toothed grin of an extra from Deliverance I dived under a thick avocado tree. To hell with orders I thought, I’ll see out my sentence in blissful ignorance under the shade. Just as my mind slipped briefly into that narcotic state of pseudo sleep, thick raindrops fell, and the skies thundered. I needed help. The undercover story was that my imaginary Spanish girlfriend, Maria, had thrown me out of the car after a heated battle of wills. I stuck to the tale because it was infinitely more plausible than the dawning reality that my boss was discreetly trying to assassinate another wayward writer. In the British quarters, by which I mean the only bar open, my story was met with wild laughter and disbelief but I wasn’t to worry, the party here would go on till the wee hours and we’d find a room for you.

Here, faced with the choice of asking for help or freezing to death, I found that a friendly smile opened doors another me would never have knocked.

AFTER a long wait, the Russian government has finally approved its new federal space exploration programme, which comes with a budget of 1.4 trillion rubles (€18.5 billion), to be spent over the next decade. The Russian space agency has struggled in recent years. The original proposal asked for 3.4 trillion rubles, but economic hardships led to the budget being shaved down significantly.

India’s Richard Branson in trouble

Mapfre forecast

VIJAY MALLYA’S Kingfisher Airline failed in 2013

DESPITE the fact that it turned in lower that anticipated profits due to South American downturn, Spanish insurance giant Mapfre is forecasting a significant turn around between now and 2018, and expects turnover in 2018 to increase to €31 billion. It intends to pay dividends to shareholders accounting for 50 per cent of its profits, and expects that these will account to 5 per cent of turnover.

European airline growth IBERIAN AIRLINES, part of the IAG group, has announced that it will be introducing new routes to China and Japan and will be recruiting cabin staff who have a knowledge of the languages of those two countries, or are of Chinese or Japanese origin. Due to these expansions and a general growth in business, the company is looking to employ a further 50 pilots to add to the 80 recruited in 2015. In addition, the German airline group Lufthansa has reported a 55 per cent rise in earnings to €1.8 billion thanks in part to lower fuel costs, and despite a series of strikes by pilots and cabin crew due to changes in working conditions. Thanks to this, the company expects profits to rise slightly during 2016, and it will be resuming the payment of dividends to shareholders.

The big fear of course is the possibility of a vote to leave the EU in the June referendum, and also an underlying belief that the British economy is not as resilient as the market first thought, which has to some extent been confirmed by the reduction of growth forecasts revealed in George Osborne’s latest budget.

George Osborne presents March budget By John Smith DURING a 62-minute speech on March 16 in his third budget in 12 months, Chancellor Osborne pleased a few people and irritated a few, but didn’t really come up with anything extraordinary. Trying to be upbeat, he had to admit that his earlier growth forecasts were not going to be met, and therefore were amended to 2 per cent for 2016, down from 2.4 per cent, with slightly better but still reduced growth forecasts for the following years. Mr Osborne was still confident that the UK forecast was stronger than for any other major western economy. As was to be expected, he also reminded everyone that the Brexit, if it went ahead, could affect his financial forecasts, but he didn’t play that card too often or too strongly. He sees this as a budget for the young and for the future, as there will be a tax imposed on sugary drinks by 2018 and a portion of the funds collected (as-

HE didn’t really come up with anything extraordinary

CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE: Presented the new budget without too many surprises. suming that drink manufacturers don’t change their recipes), will be dedicated to sports facilities for the young. Keeping with children in particular he has found funds to allow for all schools to become

academies by 2022, and there is some suggestion that the school day should increase nationwide by an hour. For those trying to get onto the property ladder, those under 40 by April 2017 will be able to

save money in a ‘Lifetime ISA’ so that if they save up £4,000 per annum, the government will contribute 25 per cent extra to the savings. All of this will be tax free and will be operable until the saver reaches 50.

The annual ISA limit for regular ISAs is to rise from £15,000 to £20,000, which will please many although with such low interest rates, ISAs whilst safe are not terribly profitable. The personal tax allowance is to rise to £11,000 in April 2016 and £11,500 in April 2017, which is worth in the region of £3.50 per week, but the higher rate threshold will increase to £43,000 this year and £45,000 next year, which did not impress those listening on the opposition bench. All alcoholic drink duty will continue to be frozen as will fuel tax, but cigarettes will increase in price by inflation plus 2 per cent. There is to be a further increase in insurance premium tax which will hurt motorists and others, as it is to be raised by 0.5 per cent to 10 per cent on all insurance except life insurance. This extra levy will be used on flood defences in vulnerable areas.

Inflation is forecast to remain low, spending cuts will continue and more money will be spent on capital projects such as railway infrastructure, which will help to see the creation of a further 1,000,000 jobs by 2020. Debt targets are going to be missed and borrowing will continue to rise in the foreseeable future. One possibly unexpected bone of contention was the fact that he had done nothing to remove the 5 per cent vat on women’s sanitary products, which was heavily criticised by his own back benchers who object to the fact that the tax is effectively imposed by Brussels. Finally, there was considerable criticism from the Labour party about the cuts in the proposed increase in Personal Independence Payments (PIP) to the disabled. This decision led to Jeremy Corbyn accusing the Chancellor of ‘declaring war on the disabled’, which he naturally denied.

Chinese group not disenchanted with FIFA DESPITE ongoing scandals, the Wanda Group has signed a deal to cover 2018 until 2030 By John Smith NEW FIFA president Gianni Infantino must be absolutely delighted that his team has managed to attract their first major Chinese sponsor, the Wanda Group, which has signed a deal to cover 2018 until 2030. Although the value of the deal has not been revealed it is rumoured to be one of the biggest in FIFA history, supposedly topping the contributions received individually from Adidas, Coca-Cola, Gazprom, Hyundai and Visa, who spent over €150 million with FIFA in 2015. Chinese firms have been involved with minor sponsorship in the past but this investment from Wanda, which is the largest private company in China operating in most areas of entertainment and retail sales including sports, is certainly a real feather in the cap for FIFA. The fact that the contracts for both Russia and Qatar to host the 2018 and 2022 finals respectively have been the cause of considerable controversy doesn’t seem to have put off Chairman Wang Jianlin, who has a stake in Atletico Madrid and

WANG JIANLIN: Chairman of the Wanda Group. has undertaken to arrange skills development for Chinese players in Spain. China is an increasingly important market for soccer and players such as Didier Drogba, Ramires and Gervinho have been lured to that country by promises of high salaries

as they reach the twilight of their careers. The Chinese love to bet and soccer has become so important that there are even accusations of match fixing in the English leagues as well as in other European countries. Speaking at the announcement of

the sponsorship deal, Mr Infantino said: “We are pleased to welcome the Wanda Group to FIFA. A company that has a long affiliation with football has been an active supporter of the game for many years and shares our enthusiasm to develop and strengthen football.

“As FIFA President, I am committed to providing stronger support for football development to our member associations, and I believe that the relationship with Wanda will support us to continue the ongoing development and growth of the game in China and all over the world.” In response, Mr Wang said “We are highly motivated to promote football across the country and to inspire a new generation of youngsters. The Chinese government is committed to this development and as a company we strongly support these efforts. In order to professionally grow the existing grassroots movement into a sustainable and well managed sport, we are delighted to tap into the vast experience of the most competent advisor – FIFA.” With all of this activity and the fact that China was renowned for building football stadiums all over Africa in the 1970s, perhaps this enormous investment from the Wanda Group will be repaid with the finals being awarded to China before the sponsorship agreement expires.

There’s only one solution THE game, in my opinion, is well and truly up! Orlok/Shutterstock.com

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT

WHEN are our pussyfooting politicians going to realise that there is only one solution to the ‘refugee’ problem? They have to annihilate the reason for them all coming here in the first place. They must completely destroy Daesh. Their latest attempt at a solution is a sick joke. This week’s meeting of European leaders should have been to form a war cabinet. So what do they do instead? Decide to give billions of euros to Turkey, promising its 68 million mainly Muslim residents a fast track into the EU if they take them all back! This to a country that is no more European than the Peruvian Incas and whose alien culture, unleashed without restriction on to our societies, would be the final nail in the coffin of Western ideals and democracy as we know it.

ALIEN CULTURE: Will be unleashed without restriction on to our societies. And the biggest laugh of all? Every single one of these immigrants is entitled to legal representation to decide whether they should be made to leave or not! ‘Uman

rights lawyers and judges are rubbing their hands and packing their bags as we speak, en route to the Greek islands for a working holiday that will take years, and who’s go-

ing to foot their undoubtedly exorbitant fees? I don’t really have to insult your intelligence do I? It’s all a very expensive joke, perpetrated by politicians with no more courage than the Lion of Oz. Well, I’ll tell you if we don’t take the bull by the horns and enter into a full, no holds barred war against these animals, we are all finished. We need a European army of at least a half a million troops, kitted out with all the modern hardware necessary to complete the job. There really is no other way. Despite my earlier misgivings, recent events have absolutely convinced me, if we want to retain any national identity and indeed our sanity, we simply have to opt out of Europe. Quite frankly, when the leader of our nation has to go cap in hand to Brussels to plead for the right to lift the tax on tampons, the game, in my opinion, is well and truly up! Keep the faith.

It’s almost sit on a Brit time

Expat hypocrisy I CAN see that lots of expats are up in arms about Spain’s bullfighting tradition and I am glad that animal welfare is finally receiving the attention it deserves. However, I’m curious as to whether many expats here actually walk the walk or are just squeamish about a practice which is unfamiliar to them. Let’s be frank for a second, anyone who complains about bull-

around the world. It is going to be a nail-biting finish, and a few sleepless nights for the expats before June 23. B Kendall from Benidorm

A lonely isle Phil Holmes Shutterstock

YEP, the summer months are fast approaching and thoughts turn to the lazy days spent at the beach. There’s nothing better than ensconcing down on hot days with all the compulsory paraphernalia. In my case, book, newspaper, crossword puzzle, cool bag containing a beer or two, water, and food. Swimming, strolling up and down the seashore having a dose of shut eye after lunch, perfect. Then, what happens: “It’s let’s sit on a Brit time!” It seems to be a national pastime of every other nation on earth to want to get near or actually sit on Brits when you are on the beach. Regardless of there being enough room to sit, the Chinese population have to take cover under your parasol. My wife found herself one day actually touching one lady, after she plonked herself down. She almost bit a piece of her sandwich, she was so close. The Spanish are excellent at it but the Germans, Russians and Italians get just as lonely and need to feel close. However, the world leaders in this field are undoubtedly the Bulgarians. Experts to a man. Having spent a holiday there, I can vouch for that. Arriving there well in to the early hours we decided the beach and rest was the place the following day. We hired beds and parasol and I was out for the count lying on my stomach. When I woke, a lady’s bum was almost touching my forehead as she was bending down and her family were all under our parasol eating crisps. We still giggle about that to this day. Roll on summer! Philip from San Fulgencio

The Royals RE: Colin Bird’s column My brother trained as a tool maker at Huntley Bourne & Stevens. Also my late mother-inlaw worked at H&P biscuit factory, collecting her weekly ration of broken biscuits, also discounted ones if required. Also is Colin aware of the recent demise of, I consider, Reading FC’s post war greatest centre forward, Ronnie Blackman? Dennis Marshall via email

Thanks David DEAR Leapy, For once, and unusually, I find myself disagreeing with you. How will the UK survive outside the EU? Clearly Obama has now put a fly in the ointment and whatever special relationship was said to be between us and the USA has just gone out the window. As you say, our old trading partners in the Commonwealth have moved on and found new suppliers and markets, so the only choice is to become even less significant in the world and face extinction as the Roman Empire did, by looking inwards and not outwards. At the end of the day it is an island in the middle of nowhere if it does leave. Sorry but for once I think you’re wrong, and who cares how many more Muslims arrive, you and I are not there, and as long as they are not extremists that should be ok, it’s the fundamentalist nutters you need to worry about! Phil Holman via email

fighting while munching on a bacon sandwich or cooking with supermarket meat is a hypocrite, there’s really no two ways about it. Livestock suffer in abominable conditions, with chickens having their beaks cut off, cows essentially raped on a daily basis to stimulate milk production, and pigs often resorting to cannibalism. This is because meat eating has become such a huge global industry that animals are essentially products on a factory line, living short, miserable lives with a brutal death awaiting them. We have become alienated from that process and no longer see the misery and death before it reaches our plate. At least those who support bull-

fighting are willing to witness the death of an animal and treat it well before its demise. It’s far less sickening than the hypocrisy of those who feel automatic outrage without looking at their own impact on the world. Maureen from Javea

Quid pro quo DEAR Sir, When people uproot and go and set up home or buy property in another country, they should be very wary of the consequences if events don’t always turn out as planned. Nobody knows exactly what is

going to happen if and when the UK leaves or stays in the Eurozone. If the UK had a good deal, why did Cameron need to go and get a better deal before the referendum, and did he get a better deal? The UK does more trade outside the Eurozone than in, that’s a fact. Germany trades more BMWs, Mercedes and Audis with the UK than the rest of the other 27 members put together, that’s a fact. Does anyone really think Germany will put a 20 per cent trade tariff on their goods to us? Never. The UK pays in much more than the benefits it gets out, so I think it is now time to leave, and concentrate on new and better trade deals

I WOULD like to express my gratitude to David the Dogman for his article on the dangers of chocolate to dogs. As a proud Finn, living in Fuengirola for many years, I have my lovely Finnish Spitz Oskari constantly by my side. Indeed I believe he has saved my life many times, whether I know it or not. Last September I unwittingly left some chocolate lying around my home (I have a weakness for dark chocolate and vodka), and poor Oskari of course devoured some. Needless to say he became frighteningly ill and I was lucky that, firstly, he only ate very little, and secondly that my ex-wife Johanna noticed his discomfort very quickly and immediately rushed him to the vet. Fortunately he was fine but it was a terrible scare and I wish I had read an article like yours before! I hope all the dog lovers out there take careful note! Caspar from Fuengirola

Every parent’s worst nightmare: Having a missing child like Madeleine McCann Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

NINE years after the disappearance of her d a u g h t e r Ma d e lein e fro m their Po r t u g u e se h o l id ay h o me , Kate McCann revealed she’ll be in an ‘eternal state of limbo’ until she discovers what happened. “All parents of m i ssi n g c h i l d re n s ay th e same thing. You just can’t rest without knowing, often it’s like a physical thing, limbo, a feeling, just not at peace.” But she hasn’t lost hope in finding Madeleine, despite resources being recently scaled back by police, an operation that has cost to

date over £11m. No Way Back, the latest in my psychological crime thriller series featuring journalist Alice Myers, has a character based on a Kate McCann-like figure. A woman who can’t rest until she discovers the fate of her own daughter who went missing 26 years earlier. A woman so obsessed with clos u re an d p e a c e of mind in he r unending search for the truth, she’d maybe contemplate blackmail, even murder. The plot focuses on the discovery in a P ea k D is tr ic t villa ge of the body of another young girl, who ee rily re s e mb les the mys te rious stranger’s child who disappeared in similar circumstances, by a family man and soon the prime murder susp e c t. T h is u n lea s he s a tra in of events that devastates him, his fami-

ly and local community alike. When his attempts to clear his name fail, hampered by the stranger from his past, his friend Alice desperately risks her life to bring the killer to justice. Everybody has secrets that are safely stored away. But when secrets are unleashed, the truth can w re a k ha voc – a nd the truth c a n kill. Vengeance and unspeakable crimes close in on this tiny Peak District village. Everyone has an opinion about the McCanns. They made a huge error of judge me nt w he n the y le ft their children alone, but they’ve paid the highest price for it. But then, should parents leave their children in a car when they nip to the shops, or in a pram outside them? But it’s not just about what they did, it’s what the kidnapper did.

Someone abducted Madeleine and the McCanns have to live every day with that knowledge. A tormented family that needs closure, peace of mind whatever the outcome. Does the Kate McCann-like figure in my just-published thriller with its final double twist find this? Nora Johnson’s thrillers ‘No Way Back’, ‘Landscape of Lies’, ‘Retribution’, ‘Soul Stealer’, ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.com) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.89;£0.79) and iBookstore.

Don’t be caught out by non-disclosure David Deverson GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL Insurance correspondent david@globelink.co.uk

THERE are some great travel bargains to be had at the moment and the market for breaks hasn’t been dented despite ongoing economic woes in Europe. In fact, more and more people are on the look out for short, bargain getaways and there are some excellent deals out there. Insurance is an essential part of travel and a great insurance option for budget savvy travellers is to take out an Annual Multi Trip policy with Globelink Travel Insurance. In order to guard against travelling abroad with invalid insurance there is one thing you shouldn’t be economical about, and that’s telling your insurer about your medical history. More and more people are finding they are not insured from the moment they check in at their local airport. Either through naivety or misplaced judgment travellers are not coming clean about pre-existing health issues that may affect the terms of their insurance. Imagine the pre-existing condition suddenly

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Being coy about material medical details could end up costing you a great deal. flares up and requires medical attention. No point in hoping the insurance claims investigators won’t cotton on to the facts as they always do, that’s their job! It doesn’t pay to be coy about important medical details. If you end up needing to cut your holiday short due to ill health, kiss goodbye to around €880 on average. Add the cost of medical expenses while abroad, and you could be looking at more than

twice that sum, depending on where in the world you are. If your condition warrants your flying home with a medical escort, expect to run up an average bill of around €4,700 in Europe, and that’s flying economy class. As for repatriation by air ambulance from the US or Australia, typical costs run into tens of thousands... Not the kind of holiday ‘splurge’ most people budget for. A new UK law being brought in this year will

make it hard for travellers to leave out important medical details on their insurance forms. This can only be a good thing, since it should help to cut down claim disputes. The flip-side is that the law does expect you to fill out the online form honestly and accurately when applying for, or renewing your travel insurance. A ‘little white lie’ could leave you without proper cover precisely when you need it most. Often conditions are eligible for automatic coverage even though they have been left out of the form unbeknownst to many travellers trying to keep costs down. At Globelink Travel Insurance, our policies embrace a large number of pre-existing conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma, provided you have no related complications. If you’re in doubt or unsure about anything please contact us, we’re here to help.

OPINION & COMMENT

Shoe Shoe-be-do...

OUR VIEW

IF shoes and handbags keep the princess happy, then who am I to argue? Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

WHAT is it they build into the doorways of shoe shops that have this instant effect on my wife? We could be browsing shop windows in the Zenia Boulevard, or on our way to meet friends. But even if we are running late, it’s as if my wife’s underwear is lined with iron filings and there is a whacking great magnet hidden in the doorway, because she is invariably pulled violently into the zapateria. I am not alone in this. My friends tell me that it’s the same with their other halves, who would all willingly cross a six-lane highway in Cairo if that’s what it took to get to the shoe shop. You rarely see one close

SHOE SHOPS: It’s as if there’s a whacking great magnet hidden in the doorway. down, and if they do, it’s because they have either banned women (unlikely), or the owners have cashed in and gone swanning off to early retirement.

I bet if you looked at all the millionaires living in The Seychelles or Grand Cayman, you would find that most of them are ex-shoe chain proprietors or manufacturers.

I have never had the courage to actually count the number of pairs of shoes/ boots/sandals/flip-flops/slippers/wellies that my wife has accumulated, but I am confi-

dent that it would provide half the population of Torrevieja with footwear. And it’s the same with handbags. Our women folk gaze like children at Christmas time through the windows of bag shops, their eyes glaze over and as if in a trance, they are compelled to enter. Actually it’s all quite clever, because the purchase of either of these items is a handy justification to buy the other. “Oh look at those red court shoes, just what I’ve been looking for to go with my new red handbag.” Ah yes I think, but you bought that handbag to go with the red sandals you bought the week before that. But I say nothing. If shoes and handbags keep the Princess happy, then who am I to argue? Oh look here she comes now with another pair that has caught her fancy. HOW MUCH!!!

John Smith Random thoughts... I FIND it quite strange that we have so little reaction from readers about the current state of the Spanish government and the fact that it seems impossible for any party to form a stable relationship. We may not be able to elect the government but we have elected to live in Spain, and whatever decision is made over the next few months will have an ongoing effect on the lives of each and every expatriate living here. As has been reported in our finance pages, foreign investment is flowing out of Spain at a rate of knots, as there is a great deal of uncertainty about the future of the Spanish economy. The caretaker government seems to

money in ever-increasing amounts. Who is to say however that the financial situation wouldn’t get worse under a left wing coalition that includes Podemos, as their financial plans call for huge amounts of invest-

Easter thoughts WHETHER you are a Christian or not, Easter in Spain in particular cannot be ignored as it is such an important part of the Spanish psyche. To a foreigner, not brought up with the constant recognition of the church, the sight of the military, marching alongside men dressed in what look like coloured Klu Klux Klan outfits appears to be totally at odds with the message of peace that Easter is supposed to deliver, as Christ is said to have died for mankind’s sins over 2,000 years ago. The church has a tradition all over Europe of having walked hand in glove for centuries with the rulers of the time, and in Spain the Franco government was supported to a great extent by the Catholic Church which has led to the tradition of the involvement of the military and Guardia Civil in the parades with the hooded Penitentes and various statues of Christ, Mary and the Saints. This doesn’t deter the Spanish from enjoying a parade, a fiesta and a chance to dress up even if for the older people it is in black, but it is also a time for us all to reflect on our own lives and achievements. Whatever you planned to reflect on, no one can ignore the fact that bombs went off in Brussels on March 22 causing indiscriminate death to randomly selected people. If the bombs were placed by Daesh then there is a double irony that it was undertaken so near to Easter, a festival honouring the birth of Jesus who is seen by Moslems as the precursor to the Prophet who forecast his future birth.

ment without really being able to see where the money is going to come from. At least, now that that group is falling out internally, they will become a less attractive coalition partner, but just maybe they are hoping for a new election as they could be seen as a preferable choice to the existing parties. Unemployment is still over 20 per cent and youngsters are in a pretty bad position as far as long term work is concerned, although there are temporary and short term jobs around. Whilst people can get worked up about almost anything, the current state of government in the country in Now we which we live barely seems to raise an want to eyebrow. hear your views.

This collection features classic and rare footage, interviews with Bowie and those closest to him, as well as recorded live and studio performances.

YOUR STARS TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) The urge to get ahead at as fast a pace as possible is apparent this week. Some would say not before time. However, you know the art of choosing the moment and it has not been until now that you have felt the time was right. This is a truly expansive week and one in which your powers of imagination are given full rein. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The company is so interesting that you can hardly tear yourself away and new experiences are arriving every day. You could be forgiven for getting a little over-excited. When travel brings you face to face with a stranger, you find that a bit of information you hear has to be acted upon. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Someone close gets a real stroke of luck this week and no doubt the benefits will rub off on you. It seems that some fortune will come your way by the end of the month and lead you to see a situation in quite a different light. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Someone you have been holding at arm’s length recently is insisting on getting closer. Charm and tact alone

ARIES

(March 21 - April 20)

A friend of long standing comes up with some bright ideas to get you out of a tricky situation. Don’t be surprised. You have for a long time now underestimated their worth. Your friend will be surprised when you show your gratitude in an immediate and physical way, but if there is anything better than finding a new friend, it is finding an old friend has hidden talents.

may not save the day, but enlisting the help of a friend could. Travel and career are well-aspected and, if you are expecting a financial windfall, you may have a bit longer to wait. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) The hard work you have been putting in recently has left you tired and, at times, quite tetchy. This week you will start to see the rewards of your efforts which will undoubtedly help you to keep up the momentum. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a highly sociable week, and you could meet some new faces that not only attract but inspire you. You are a social butterfly, and this brings out your Libran flutteriness. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You dominate the scene this week and no one is in any doubt about what you are aiming for.

your circle, however, try a bit of cunning as opposed to brow-beating. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Communication and selfexpression are what it’s all about this week. Although you may feel that indulging yourself is in some ways selfish, you should realise that you are entitled to some fun. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The call of romance is strong but so is that of your business life. The two will clash to the detriment of each other if you do not plan ahead and pace yourself. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Such is your popularity this week that you can be assured of success in many things. Remember that first impressions can be the most accurate and don’t be tempted to make too many allowances for others. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) For some time you have been trying to settle a certain matter. Although it is in your nature to get things out of the way quickly, this has not been possible. The chance to make progress this week is welcome but be sure that all is not what it seems.

Losing weight could all be in the mind MINDFULNESS has been credited with a host of benefits WE have tried the endless faddy diets and latestfitness crazes in a bid to lose weight, but could the key be all in the mind. Scientists claim that mindfulness, a meditationlike technique that is becoming increasingly popular, can help people to tune into the body’s hunger signals. This will result in only eating when you need to. Mindfulness has already been credited with a host of health benefits, from easing depression to boosting the immune system, and a leading British obesity expert has said it may be the

‘missing link’ in the search for an effective weight loss technique. Dutch researchers carried out a series of studies to see if mindfulness stops people from eating excessively. They analysed data on more than 400 people who had undergone regular weigh-ins over two and a half years. It found people who are ‘naturally mindful’ were better able to recognise when they are hungry, meaning their weight fluctuates less than people who are less aware. Mindfulness involves blocking out distractions, focusing in the present and listening to your body.

Study on experimental blood tests RESEARCHERS believe one day an experimental blood test may be able to detect a range of diseases including cancer and multiple sclerosis (MS). The study is still in its early stages but researchers believe it opens up vast possibilities and could offer ‘huge potential’, however they admit it is still far from clinical use.

So far, the method has been tested on 320 patients and controls, and has shown success in finding diseases such as pancreatic cancer, diabetes, traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis. Scientists have known for some time that dying cells release fragmented DNA into the circulating blood. When

cells die, it can mean a disease is just beginning to take hold, and the researchers are now looking at new methods in which they can use this knowledge to identify diseases from a blood test, detecting cell death in specific tissues. The technology is based on next-generation DNA sequencing.

Marking World Glaucoma Week

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Ask The Doctor

Brought to you by

Essential tremor

IT is the leading cause of irreversible blindness

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte.

GLAUCOMA: Affects around one million people in Spain. GLAUCOMA is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and affects a total of 60 million people in the world. In Spain, it affects around a million people but it is believed around 500,000 suffer unknowingly, making it known as the silent disease. Glaucoma is an eye disease whose main characteristic is the loss of vision due to progressive damage that occurs to the optic nerve. The main risk factor is ocular hypertension. If the pressure within the eyeball increases, the optic nerve is

compressed and neurons that form are damaged, causing cell death of these and decreasing the field of view patient. “The earlier the diagnosis the better and the sooner you can put the brakes on the disease,” said president of the Association of Glaucoma for patients and their families (AGAF), Delfina Balonga. It is recommended you have eye tests every two years from the age of 40 and annually after the age of 50. “The big problem of glaucoma is that if not detected early can cause serious vision problems and in 5 per cent of cases, total blindness.” To mark World Glaucoma Week, it is recommended that you have eye tests every two years from the age of 40 and annually after the age of 50. It can appear at any time of life, but it is more common after the age of 60 and there are several risk factors such as diabetes, family history, high myopia and high blood pressure.

DEAR doctor, I have an embarrassing problem. I am within the Spanish health system but I speak no Spanish and my doctor speaks no English so, on my visits to my doctor my translator is always there and knows everything I wish to discuss, and this can be most embarrassing. I’m a 70-year-old man and when I was 45 I developed Familiar Nervosa, commonly called essential tremor for which there has been no cure, but to some degree it can be controlled with varying success. I have tried both drugs available and Propranol helped a bit, I currently take 40 mg twice a day. One of its side effects is impotence and largely because of this my marriage failed 10 years ago, and I’m now a reluctant single man because of my inability to have an erection. I understand a cure involving a 10-minute brain operation has been achieved in the USA and UK, but it’s not available to the public.

At my age it appears there’s no hope of a relationship and I’m unable to even discuss it. DEAR Patient, Essential tremor is a neurological illness which, although not particularly serious, can cause disruption to daily life. Some medications such as propranolol are useful, but can have unwanted side effects, which include reduced libido and impotence. If these effects seriously affect your life there are other types of treatment, which could be tried including primidona, clonazepam, gabapentina or mirtazapine, which may help control your symptoms while avoiding those unwanted side effects. If the propranolol is controlling your symptoms, you could try another type of treatment for your erectile dysfunction such as Viagra or Cialis. Your doctor would have to supervise this treatment, after ruling out any possible reasons not to go ahead such as heart disease or other medications.

If you have any questions for Dr Perez Belmonte, please send them to: jefemedico@helicopterossanitarios.com The Coast’s Home GP service - wherever you are - at home - in the office - in the car - on the golf course your GP will get to see you any time, anywhere.

This week Celebrity Chef Steven Saunders from the famous Little Geranium in La Cala, previously of BBC TV’s Ready Steady Cook takes us from Abu Dhabi to La Cala!

Straight from the pit lane…. into La Cala de Mijas! THE new season for Formula 1 has just begun and for the last eight years I owned a company that provided all the VIP clients hospitality to Formula 1. We were feeding thousands of people at a very high standard. It was a fun contract as I love Formula 1 and I loved seeing so many different countries and learning about their cultures and their food. One of our best contracts was Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi and I have very fond memories of launching the circuit in 2009 at a cost of approx two billion dollars! Money was no object, it was going to be the best circuit in the world. With a huge Ferrari world being built next to the circuit, I could clearly see that this was going to be something very special. On launch day all the rich and the famous attended. Among them were Beyonce and the band Aerosmith who were both performing live at the circuit. I was asked if I could meet the artistes and discuss their food requirements. I made Beyonce a fab Japanese fish supper and then I went to meet with Aerosmith. What would you guys like to eat after the show? I asked. They paused and said hey man, we are happy with some pasta. Well you could have knocked me down with a pin. There was I sitting in front of the world’s biggest Heavy Metal band and they wanted vegetarian food!? (I was expecting to cook huge steaks, burgers and ribs) I pulled together a mixture of buffet style foods for them which included some pasta dishes. One of them was a cannelloni of wild mushrooms with truffles. It was very popular with the band who called me and said it was awesome man… and I have since cooked it many times. I currently have it on my menu at The Little Geranium. If you would like to try it at home here it is below!

Cannelloni of wild mushrooms with truffle Ingredients for 4: • 1 pack of Canneloni pasta (we make our own but it is easier to buy pasta sheets!) • ½ kilo of assorted wild mushrooms • ½ kilo of button mushrooms • Approx 50g of unsalted butter • 1 x 250ml of kitchen cream (para cocinar) • 3 cloves garlic peeled and sliced • 1 red onion peeled and sliced • 150g of good quality grated cheese For the sauce • ½ litre of vegetable stock • Mushroom trimmings • 1 glove garlic chopped • ½ white onion chopped • 2 tablespoons of truffle oil • A little milk to assist foaming the sauce • Maldon salt to taste • Fresh tarragon leaves to finish the dish Method Slice the button mushrooms but leave the wild ones whole. Put 50 per cent of the wild ones with 100 per cent of the button mushrooms on a baking tray with the garlic and onion and roast for approx. 15 mins. Take the pasta sheets and one by one blanch them in boiling salted water until just tender (al dente) and then cool in iced water Take 50 per cent of the roasted mushrooms and put in a blender and blend until smooth

with two tablespoons of cream. Now add the other 50 per cent and stir in so that the mixture has both smooth and rustic textures. Pour a little truffle oil into the mushroom mix add truffle trimmings also (optional). Put a tablespoon of the mix onto each sheet of the cooked cannelloni and roll into perfect tubes. Cover them with grated cheese and bake in a preheated oven 150ºC for about 15 mins or until all the cheese is golden and melted. For the sauce In a saucepan fry off the chopped garlic and white onion. Add the vegetable stock and reduce well by half. Now add approx 150ml of the cream (the remaining cream). Reduce again and pass through a fine sieve. Taste and season and add the milk and whizz with your hand blender until foaming, now add one tablespoon truffle oil and whizz it in. Pan fry the remaining wild mushrooms (the remaining 50 per cent) with the butter and some Maldon salt. Remove the cannelloni from the oven and serve with the pan fried wild mushrooms around each cannelloni and spoon the foaming sauce around. (We serve each cannelloni on some wilted spinach) Finish by sprinkling the tarragon leaves on each dish and then drizzle the remaining tablespoon of truffle oil all over.

Sushi is also a speciality at Bing, and Sarah, the owner has an eye for detail as far as the presentation is concerned. Bing Asian Fusion has built up a healthy and loyal customer base, as Sarah and partner Bing attracted a following from their previous restaurant, Bangkok which was in Marbella. Maybe it is because not only does the food taste so good, but it also looks amazing when brought to the table. Each platter is served with the most creative care which makes the whole experience of eating Asian cuisine so much more special. The starter menu is extensive with a choice of spring rolls.

Geoff Scott-Simpson Gallery captures beauty of the area Photo Credit Geoff Scott-Simpson

GAUCIN is well-known for its artistic community drawn from around the globe

RONDA: Shows the local patterns of light.

By John Smith VISITORS to the mountain top pueblo blanco of Gaucin are rewarded by the finest views down over the rock of Gibraltar, into the Rif Mountains of Morocco and many kilometres beyond on a fine day. The village sits amongst forests of pine and sweet chestnut, is a mecca for wildlife and straddles the peaks like a lizard stretched out in the sunshine. Gaucin is well-known for its artistic community drawn from around the globe by the Mediterranean light which illuminates the landscape and provides never-ending inspiration for painters,

photographers, ceramicists and other artisans. Professional photographer Geoff Scott-Simpson has lived in Gaucin for two years and continues to be amazed by the beauty of the area which he has turned into a personal project. Being a resident rather than a visitor has meant he has been able to familiarise himself with the local patterns of light and rhythms of nature thereby capturing the best of what Gaucin and the Serranía de Ronda has to offer. His gallery is located at the entrance to the village on the A-377 Manilva road. www.geoffscottsimpson.com

FOR the next couple of weeks I will be looking at different elements of dog breeding. The highs and lows, the do’s and don’ts. This week I explore some of the misconceptions behind dog breeding. Part 1 So why do you want to breed from your bitch? To make lots of money! Do you realise the actual expenses involved in breeding, such as advertising, stud fee, vet bills, food, to name a few?

It would be good for the children to watch the birth and play with the puppies as they grow up! Actually, the gory part of the whelping repulse most children who are more than happy to skip the viewing of the miracle you planned for them to see. A litter of puppies growing up is usually too rowdy for small children who are usually disinterested or terrified of the leaping creatures with sharp teeth and nails. If you want the children to see a puppy growing up, buy

them one of their own. If you want them to watch the litter being born, it’s better and easier to find a breeder who will let them come over in the middle of the night to watch puppies being born. We love Fifi and we want another one just like her! The chances that you will get another one just like her are very slim indeed. Everyone who comes to the house and sees Fifi wants one of her pups when she has a litter!

HOMES GARDENS

&

Purchasing and planting bougainvilleas climbers BOUGAINVILLEAS are one of the most popular climbers in Mediterranean gardens. They can be grown against walls, on fences, over pergolas, to cover dead trees and even cascading down banks. A fully grown plant will give a fantastic display of colour over many months from early summer to January when they are normally pruned. They come in many colours and can become very impressive specimens if allowed to grow taller year after year. The colour is produced by coloured bracts. The actual flower is the long thin white

growth inside the bract. There are many varieties and cross pollinations of bougainvilleas. Garden centres often stock dwarf, variegated and mixed colours. Try growing one or two and if they grow well, introduce the more delicate varieties. If in doubt protect plants with a frost and wind protective sheet from November to March. Bougainvilleas are best in a rich open-structured soil. They grow well when planted adjacent to a path or terrace where the roots can search for retained water underneath. © Dick Handscombe March 2016

Q-mapp the sexy app WITH continual technological advances everything can be found online these days. A new app is offering an online version of adult classified ads to red-blooded users. Similar to apps such as Uber, it locates people who offer sexual services in the town via an interactive map showing shoppers who is available in the area before they ‘add to basket’. The app can be accessed at www.q-mapp.es ‘Q-mapp’, from any browser (Chrome, Safari, Explorer…) and from any device including mobile phones, tablets, or PCs. Customers can remain as anonymous users or register if they wish, which allows for regular updates. Registered users can also access an interactive map in any Spanish city updating them of the whereabouts of local ladies of the night. Additionally, it comes with a search engine enabling users to choose a profile, chat to women in the area and the possibility of calling her on the phone. With the benefit of a state of the art tool positioning individual ads on a map, the app uses modern, cutting-edge technology to promote

the oldest profession known. The company is at the frontline of the market, knowing where their closest potential clients are. The ads also have complete mobility, if a change of location occurs with just the click of a button adverts get updated with a new location and a new advert is not needed. A user’s visibility is also a setting that can change according to individual desires. As a marketing tool the functional app is reasonably priced, with a minimum cost to be included on the map of €0.40 a day or €12 a month. It allows its users complete independence and they don’t have to be exposed in the street. ‘Q-mapp’ (www.q-mapp.es) and its creators want to make it clear that it is completely in opposition to the illegal trafficking of humans for sexual aims. The new ‘web app’ also has a social aim which is “taking prostitution off the streets.” Society can be hypocritical but the reality is that there is a big percentage of the population that uses this type of services.

Catch me if you can THE number of offences being committed in the UK by motorists has more than halved in the last 10 years. However, the Transport Select Committee suggests that this is down to fewer traffic police officers patrollin g t h e r o a d s r a t h er than improved driving standards. Since 2004, the number of recorded offences has fallen from 4.3million to 1.5million in 2014. The government, however, has conceded that if no one is out there watching then speeders, tailgaters as well as the downright dangerous a r e g e t t i n g a w ay with it far more often. Police numbers across England and Wales have reportedly fallen from 5,327 to 3,742 between 2010 and 2015.

Aston Martin’s DB11 premieres FIRST deliveries to begin towards the end of 2016 By Matthew Elliott LUCKY attendees at the 86th International Geneva Motor Show caught a glimpse of the new Aston Martin release the DB11, which has been launched under the luxury British manufacturer’s ‘Second Century’ plan. The new model, described as an ‘authentic, dynamic, sporting GT in the finest Aston Martin tradition’, is powered by a 5.2 litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, and features pioneering aerodynamics and an outstanding design. A lighter aluminium structure allows the DB11 to be more powerful and efficient than any other DB model, and is considered the firm’s most important new introduction to the luxury market in more than a decade. Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer said: “DB11 is the absolute embodiment of what an Aston Martin should be, and we have worked tireless-

Daley and McCann to auction their TV motors NEXT month sees TV’s Minder fans being given a chance to own a piece of motoring history with Arthur Daley’s Daimler Sovereign and Terry McCann’s Ford Capri to go under the hammer. H&H Motorcars are to sell the two cars and know only too well the show’s connection with the vehicles should see prices go up to £45,000 (€57,817) for Daley’s luxurious Daimler, while Terry McCann’s Ford Capri could fetch up to £85,000 (€109,214) on auction day.

Cyber sabotage THE FBI has released a statement warning American drivers of the threat of criminals ‘hacking’ their vehicles. Once considered something of a fringe conspiracy theory more at home in films, cyber-sabotage is now considered a genuine risk for many drivers in the age of advanced vehicular software and cloud based systems. Threats range from remote transmission killing to the scanning of credit card information.

It is said that George Cole, the actor who played the inimitable Arthur Daley so loved this car, that in the mid1980s he nearly bought it for himself, before it was eventually given away in a competition. The restoration cost around £5,000 (€6,424) and has seen the car re-finished in its original TV colours, along with significant mechanical improvements. With just 43,990 miles

on the clock, auctioneers’ estimates put the price at between £35,000 (€44,970) and £45,000 (€57,817). Meanwhile, along with the luxurious Daimler will be a two-litre Ford Capri driven by Daley’s Minder of the show’s title, Terry McCann, played by Dennis Waterman. Famously appearing throughout the show’s opening sequence as well as during the show, the also recently restored Capri has clocked 88,700 miles and is estimated to sell for between £65,000 (€82,186) to £85,000 (€107,468).

FOOTBALL • Leicester City beat Crystal Palace 1-0 last Saturday to go eight points clear in the PL title race.

and Chelsea-West Ham both ended in draws; Southampton, two down, hit back to beat Liverpool 3-2; Stoke won 2-1 at Watford and there were also vital 1-0 victories for Norwich (at WBA) and Swansea (v bottom club Aston Villa). • The top six in the Championship are Burnley (75 points), Brighton and Hove Albion (71), Middlesbrough (70), Hull City (66), Derby County (64) and Sheffield Wednesday (62). • Burton Albion (74 points) and Wigan Athletic (68) are looking strong in FL1, while Northampton Town (82 points and unbeaten in 18 games) lead Oxford United by 11 and both are ‘coming up’ from FL2. Celtic and Rangers top their respective divisions in Scotland. • The two-legged quarter-finals in the Champion League on 5/6 and 12/13 April are:

Barcelona-Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich-Benfica, Manchester City-PSG and Real Madrid-Wolfsburg. • The last four two-legged Europa League ties on 7/14 April are Borussia DortmundLiverpool, Sevilla-Athletic Bilbao, Shakhtar Donetsk-Braga and Villarreal-Sporting Prague. • There are full FL1 and FL2 programmes over the Easter period, but no PL/Championship games.
