Tangerine scream! ORANGE SLUICE: An algal bloom was to blame.
A NATURAL phenomenon left Costa del Sol beachgoers scratching their heads. Town halls received a barrage of calls reporting that the sea had turned bright orange, with Rincon de la Victoria Council hoisting red flags
to indicate dangerous conditions. But the bizarre episode was triggered by a fish breeding frenzy with the carrotcoloured water containing vast numbers of sardine and anchovy eggs mixed with red algae.
Drug mule? Riddle of roadside corpse By Matt Ford An unrecognisable burning corpse - probably a drugs mule found alongside a busy road, has sparked a Costa del Sol manhunt. The body with drugs packed in the stomach was discovered by a motorist who stopped to investigate a fire alongside the MA8301 between Estepona and Jubrique. As he drew up two cars sped from the scene. The passing motorist after realising the fire was a man’s body wrapped in blankets immediately called the Guardia Civil. Investigators - anxious to iden-
tify the corpse and to trace the drivers who sped off - are probing two hypothetical scenarios: 1. That the man was murdered before his body was set alight by the roadside. 2. More likely that one or more of the capsules had broken inside the man’s body leading to death through a drugs overdose, so accomplices set the body alight to dispose of the evidence. A post mortem examination was held yesterday (Wednesday), but the corpse, which during forensic tests was found to have the stomach filled with small capsules containing ‘narcotics in liquid form’ remains unidentified.

Official State Visit underway
Queens of hearts By Matt Ford QUEEN LETIZIA and Queen Elizabeth have been wowing fans during the official State Visit of the Spanish royals, which ends tomorrow (Friday). The newest consort to a European monarch and the longestserving British sovereign are clearly enjoying the first official trip by the Spanish Royals for over 30 years, which is taking place at the third time of asking after two earlier cancellations. It comes as the glamorous exjournalist and husband King Felipe VI prepare to visit Westminster Abbey accompanied by Prince Harry today, where they will lay a wreath at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior before touring the Abbey with the Dean. The king will also be joined by Prince Andrew, Duke of York, at

Spain is the largest olive oil producer in the world, accounting for 44 per cent of the world’s annual supply, and the country’s love affair with the diminutive fruit shows no sign of decline despite new challenges.

WITH an estimated 340 million olive trees, Spain produces around 1.2 million tonnes of olive oil per year, enough to fill 400 Olympic swimming pools. About 45 per cent of the country’s olive oil is produced in the Andalucian province of Jaen, where olive plantations occupy 590,000 hectares including 66 million trees. These account for a fifth of the global olive oil supply, with the region producing more than the entire country of Italy, the world’s second-largest manufacturer. Olive trees are said to have been introduced to Spain by the Phoenicians almost 3,000 years ago, but it was the Romans who started large-scale production, with the Moors later introducing improved growing methods.
Fruity facts • There are over 100 varieties of olive grown in Spain, but only 24 are regularly used to make oil. • Olive trees live on average for 3-600 years, with some of the world’s oldest examples found in Spain. One individual in Tarragona is said to be over 2,000 years old. • Despite leading the global production ranking, Spain with 11.3 kilos is runner-up to Greece (12.8 kilos) in terms of per capita consumption. • The Spanish word for oil, aceite, is derived from the Arabic word al-zait, which literally translates as ‘olive juice.’ • There are four types of virgin olive oil, extra virgin, virgin, ordinary virgin and lampante, all of which differ in acidity with extra virgin, the highest grade, having the least.

Pressing times CLIMATE change and growing global demand are putting the squeeze on the industry, but the main threat to the future of Spanish olives may be microscopic. Dry conditions ravaging the country severely impacted production in 2016, with global supplies down by 11 per cent, and this year’s harvest - which takes place in October and November - is expected to be worse. An even bigger threat may be the destructive bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which has been described as ‘olive ebola’ after devastating around a million trees in Italy and appearing in Mallorca last year. The plague was last month detected in mainland Spain for the first time after it was found to have infected almond trees in Guadalest, Alicante, sparking widespread fears.

Summer traffic taking its toll THE Spanish government has refused to open the AP-7 toll road in the face of enormous summer tailbacks on the free-of-charge A-7. Since the Fuengirola to Marbella section of the new motorway was opened, most motorists have chosen to avoid paying the €14 return fee by taking the slightly longer A-7 route. Malaga’s socialist leader Miguel Angel Heredia pleaded with Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to loosen the toll,

but the latter responded that “currently the Ministry of Public Works does not plan to implement the measure to release the toll when there are traffic collapses on the A7.” The City Council of Marbella has requested permission to open up the toll in the event of an accident or heavy traffic on the A-7. Other municipalities including Fuengirola, Mijas and Estepona have joined the call, but they have yet to receive a response from the government.

Ruff around the edges ONLY 2,500 of the 90,000 dogs in Malaga are registered on the mandatory DNA listing, according to the city council. The Animal Welfare Ordinance was introduced in May, obligating dog owners to register their pet’s genetic profile within a six-month period which ends on October 31. Raul Jimenez, Environmental councillor, has called
for dog owners to register “sooner rather than later” to avoid availability issues. DNA registration aims to clean up the city while ensuring that owners who mistreat their pets can be held accountable for it. With the genetic profile of each dog at hand, officers will be able to find the owner of abandoned and mistreated pets and punish them accordingly. Raul Jimenez warned that “any dog that does not have a badge with his DNA identification will be in breach of the ordinance and its owner will be fined by Local Police.” DNA profiling is currently available for a one-off fee of €35, although the council has announced that the cost will be waived for owners in financial difficulty.

EVERY summer, without fail, there are huge numbers of foreign registered cars driving from France, Germany and Italy en route to Algeciras and Tarifa to catch Moroccobound ferries. There is nothing wrong with migrants who want to return home to see their families and in fact they do spend money in Spain even if it is just on petrol, tolls and boat fares, but so many of them are dangerously overloaded. Most people will have seen old cars, loaded to the gunnels with bodywork almost scraping against the tyres and everything including the kitchen sink tied awkwardly on top of the car or van. It seems that the police of various forces turn a blind eye to the dangers of these potential death traps and only come out to divert traffic when they have an accident. Only a few days ago, an estate car which was carrying a load almost as tall as the car was blown over due to high winds, blocking most of the A7 at Pueblo Nuevo de Guadiaro and although there appeared to be no injuries to the occupants, this must have been more by luck than judgement!

DISASTER: The fire which ripped through the Costa del Sol in 2012. UP to 50 per cent of housing developments along the Costa del Sol have no fire protection plan, according to forest fire agency Infoca and municipal brigades. Next month marks five years since a massive wild fire which originated in Coin, and subsequently spread through the towns of Mijas, Marbella, Ojen and Monda, forced the evacuation of more than 6,500 people and destroyed 8,225 hectares of forest. Since the disaster, Infoca have introduced preventive measures and action plans to minimise future risks. However, the agency has claimed that less
than half of the properties along the Costa del Sol follow the guidelines implemented to keep them safe. In addition nearly 30 per cent of coastal urbanisations have failed to provide a self-protection plan to the local council. “Generally there is some awareness along the coast, but in other towns the legislation is not taken so seriously and there is ignorance despite the existence of so many houses in proximity to forested areas,” said Jose Antonio Gomez, a forestry technical engineer who has drawn up self-protection plans for numerous residential and leisure sites including the Caminito del Rey.

Art attack!

ANIMAL rights activists are up in arms after paintings depicting bestiality appeared in a Malaga art museum. The images in question appear in a new exhibition which is on at the Centre for Contemporary Art (CAC) and which can be viewed until September 24. Entitled ‘El Corazon Mandanda’ (The Heart Sends), it features artworks created by 40-year-old artist Santiago Ydañez. “The exhibition is a kaleidoscope of mixed themes, animals, portraits, references to art history and themes of a sexual nature,” said Fernando Frances, director of the exhibition. The furious president of The Animals and Plants Protection Society, Carmen Manzano said: “There are school trips and families that visit the museum, so I would have thought the director would have taken a little care selecting the artwork.” She added that her society “firmly believes the exhibition is publicising the sexual behaviour of animals.”

HEALTH SECTOR: The province needs 71 additional doctors. THE Costa del Sol health sector is currently drastically understaffed according to a study conducted by the Medical Union of Malaga.
The research shows that Marbella has 24 less health professionals than Jaen, despite having 12 per cent more inhabitants. In addition, spokesman Gregorio Blanco announced that the province needs 71 additional doctors, adding that “the historic imbalance is getting increasingly worse, as over the last 30 years no steps have been taken to support the increas-
121,000
ing population across the province.” In Mijas, Blanco reported that some doctors support up to 3,000 patients, almost double the 1,500 maximum recommendation. He added that along the Costa del Sol, pharmacies and veterinarian clinics operate with the same amount of staff as they did in 1989, showing a complete lack of development in the sector.

Councils disagree over river ONCE again, the entrance to the Rio Guadiaro is blocked by sand but, the Cadiz Council and San Roque Council disagree over whose responsibility it is. The mayor of San Roque, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, commented on a statement made by Agustin Muñoz, from Cadiz, who said that this was a regular, natural occurrence which San Roque needed to resolve. Mayor Boix reminded the recently appointed Muñoz that the town had given up responsibility for this problem two years ago and was amazed that his council were being told to fix the problem when, late last year, they were chastised for undertaking the work after 20 days of inaction from Cadiz. “The city of San Roque does not consider it tolerable that thousands of fish die out of neglect when this catastrophe can be avoided. Without forgetting the health risks that this situation can bring” said Boix. Whilst the disagreement continues, no action is being taken by any council which can only cause problems for the local environment. Local residents however have been out in force digging a channel to allow the water to flow but, without bulldozers and diggers, moving large volumes of sand, this can only be a temporary measure.

TREES THE KEY: Quercus suber trees in Casares.
A corking idea CASARES Council has launched a new initiative to collect cork from the Quercus suber trees in the area and reinvest the proceeds to prevent fires. Cork is used for sealing wines, acoustic insulation and is naturally fire retardant. Not only does cork resist fire but it prevents it, at least in the hills of Casares. The city has allocated a significant portion of the proceeds from cork harvesting in the area to fire prevention tasks.
The harvest, being carried out from June 15 to September 15, will yield â‚Ź6,000 this year for fire protection work. The works will consist of cleaning more than 2,800 metres of roads and walkways to Monte de la AcedĂa, and the protection of around 70 hectares of the public forest.

Miguel Diaz, councillor for Sustainability, announced that 224 tests are being conducted across 25 points on the beach bi-weekly by the Hidralia water company. Carlos Corral, manager of the company, emphasised that “we have commissioned many sampling points so we can react immediately if any anomaly is detected.” “It is a priority of the City Council to undertake improvements in beach sanitation because it results in an improvement of the quality of the waters of our coast,” Diaz added. Diaz announced that the collaboration has installed a motorised floodgate at the mouth of the Arroyo de la Represa “that will allow controlled relief of the water in the event of heavy rain.” In addition, the collective will be handing out more than 5,000 reusable coned ashtrays along the beach.
SAMPLING: Water will be tested at 25 points twice a week. “Cigarette residue generates high levels of pollution,” warned the councillor for Sustainability, who called for residents and holidaymakers “to cooperate with

Cyberspace safeguarding AN Interpol official has recommended parents pay more attention to their children’s online activity after a dramatic rise in online sexual crimes against minors. The Criminal Intelligence Officer for the Interpol General Secretariat, Julian Francisco Millan, warned that sexually explicit images of children are rife on the internet. At the first International Cybercrime Conference, held at the Malaga Bar Association, Millan described the dangers surrounding the most fre-
quent types of online sexual crime. He explained that the most common is ‘revenge posting.’ After some young couples break up, disgruntled former partners often take to social media sites to share sexually explicit material. These posts can often go viral, causing distress to the victim and increasing the presence of child pornography across the web. Millan pleaded with parents to be more vigilant, asking them “to spend a little time
with your child to know what they are doing online.” He added that without spying parents need to know “who they are talking to, what they are talking about and what they are sending.” Milan stated that Spain is leading the fight against cyber crime as they constantly “fulfil their objectives.” However, he said that more training and awareness are needed to prevent the crimes.

Two sue over bar battle A PAIR of men who fought at a bar in Marbella have taken each other to court for alleged crimes of personal injury.

His lawyer has requested that the man who threw the chair is jailed for four years, while the other man has launched his own bid to have the ‘victim’ charged. The incident took place in a bar on Marbella marina, when the man who was hit by the stool approached two drinkers and declared: “Come on, let’s talk, faggots.” According to witnesses, after the two men told the defendant that they were calling the police he left before returning moments later wielding a large knife, telling the astonished men “I’m going to kill you.” It was then that the other defendant supposedly threw the bar stool at the aggressor, which hit him on the head and knocked him to the ground. Both parties have requested that the other pay a fine ranging from €225-340. The case continues.

Top 5 suncream slipups WITH thousands of tourists descending on the Costa del Sol, here are five common mistakes that sunworshippers make when slapping on the lotion. The first sunscreen mistake is not wearing any. We are all well versed in the damage the blistering sun can cause us in the here and now, and in the future. But still, even those of us with the best intentions can still slip up from time to time. You’ve been using a ‘thin coat.’ When it comes to sunscreen, less is not more. David J Leffell, professor of dermatology at the Yale School of Medicine explains that we need to “use enough to evenly cover the skin and massage it in, utilising a more systematic approach.” When in doubt, heap it on. No sun no suncream, right? Wrong. Dr Stefanie Williams, founder and medical director at European Dermatology has said that although a cloudy day blocks most of the sunburning UVB rays, the skin is still exposed to significant amounts of UVA without even noticing. “UVA can penetrate windows and
SUNCREAM: Take a little more care this summer for a golden tan. cloud. I always recommend the same sun protection level whether the sun is out or not,” according to Dr Williams. You apply it while you’re on the beach Although sun cream works nearly instantly after it’s applied to the
body, Boots Suncare Expert Clare O’Connor says that “it is important to allow some time before you go outside as your skin takes a while to absorb it. This will ensure that when you undress, lie on a towel or start moving your protection is less likely to rub off.”
Waterproof must mean waterproof ‘Water resistant’ means the sunscreen performs better than others in the presence of water and sweat. There’s a good reason why the FDA bans the use of ‘waterproof ’ or ‘sweatproof’ on product labels. Regardless of the water resistant rating, bathing in the sea will cause a certain amount of protection to rub off and if that doesn’t do the trick, towel drying definitely will. Re-apply! You keep busting out last year ’s cream When it comes to sunscreen, expiry dates really matter. The active ingredients in sunscreen that create a barrier on the skin deteriorate over time, according to Professor Leffel. Alongside their time limit, Leffel explains that we might want to read the storage recommendations on the back. Storing bottles in high temperatures can limit the effectiveness of the cream. With temperatures soaring over the Costa del Sol, and frequent heat waves gracing the shores, take a little more care this summer if you want to keep that golden tan.

Last February a group of 60 people among which artists, musicians and production staff spent 10 days at Hotel Castillo de Monda turning this boutique hotel in Costa del Sol into their home and recording studio.

For more than 10 days the seven participants lived together, sharing anecdotes and a table at the Hotel Castillo de Monda.

The Butterfly Children and Giving Sight in Africa get help DURING the past week, the President of the La Cala de Mijas Lions, Paul Butler, has presented cheques of €1,000 to Kirsty Dixon of DEBRA and €1,100 to Pam Young of Village Ventures.

DEBRA provides support, not only to the children, but also to their families, all of whom need a great deal of help. Affected children’s skin is so fragile, it breaks at the slightest touch.

TOPS’ summer show turns out a great success ON Saturday July 1, TOPS performed their Summer Show at Venta La Recta. It was a complete sell-out and Venta La Recta was packed with people who had a great evening of music and mirth. Under the experienced directorship of Ann Knowles, a cast of extremely talented people got together and produced a very professional and successful show, with singing, dancing and jokes from the MC, Ann. The best show yet! Many of the cast were ex-professional performers from along the coast and the UK, others were experienced TOPS members and some newcomers. The quality of the show was extremely high and received high praise and an enthusiastic response from the entire audience. Proceeds from the show will be given, at the end of the year, to the two charities that have been nominated for this year. These are, DEBRA (children with extremely delicate skin) and SOS animal charity. TOPS hope to do another show in the near future. If you would like to join them, please contact the secretary at topsforcharity@gmail.com.

By Linda Hall SAN VICENTE now has 80 fewer rabbits but this came at a cost. The town hall’s Health department paid a specialist firm €2,100 to trap and remove the rabbits that have multiplied throughout the town in recent months. The specialists inspected locations known to have burrows, including Victoria Kent school and Plaza Vicente Malloll, and set about trapping the rabbits with throw nets. They also used muzzled ferrets to flush out the rabbits which, when caught, were transferred to the Species Recuperation Centre in Santa Faz. Here, Health councillor Begoña Monllor said, they would be able “to continue their life cycle.” Monllor did not rule out further control campaigns as five or six rabbits have since been seen on the recently-cleared land. The councillor also said that analyses of rabbits killed by a dog revealed that none of them were suffering from multiple diseases as Opposition councillors had claimed.

Butter shortage forecast
REVENUE FROM ICE CREAM TAKES SOME LICKING
As the sun shines sales rise GLOBAL WARMING is helping to encourage the sale of different types of cold and refreshing desserts around the world. There is evidence of the production of frozen desserts thousands of years ago with the Ancient Greeks and Romans adding flavours to ice brought down from the mountains, although the invention of the modern version is credited to China, with the concept brought to Europe by Marco Polo. Despite the Chinese involvement, the market has until quite recently been led by the West according to a recent Mintel report but this is now changing with the huge populations of China, India and Indonesia seeing a major growth in consumption. China is now the world’s biggest ice cream market, with sales estimated at 4.3 billion litres in 2016, followed by the US (2.7 billion litres) and Japan (756 million litres) but by head, the biggest purchasers of ice cream are in Norway, Australia and Sweden. Despite the fact that there seem to be increasing numbers of ice cream parlours opening across Spain, the Spanish are far less adventurous than many of their European cousins in wanting to try new, ethnic inspired flavours. The production of unusual flavoured ice cream started in the Far East with such exotic flavours as Wasabi, Green Tea, Goat’s Cheese and Avocado but moved rapidly to the USA and then Europe particularly Germany, Italy and Poland. It’s not just ice cream that is seeing a growth in popularity as anything iced or frozen, be it cream, sorbet, yoghurt, semifreddo or even gin and tonic lollies are becoming increasingly more popular in the East whilst the West is importing exotic ideas. Kulfi is coming from India, moochi a frozen rice doughnut filled with ice cream from Japan, rolled ice from Thailand and even booza, a

traditional type of ice cream from Syria and Lebanon which is very slow to melt. Whilst some health conscious consumers are consciously reducing their ice cream intake, others are involved in the launch of Vegan versions which are seeing a considerable growth in sales as they manage to find entry into national outlets. One thing that Spain seems determined to do, regardless of trends, is to keep its deep freezes within restaurants and to offer a whole range of frozen desserts to child and adult diners, with the added bonus that guests can still often take the clay containers home with them.
SPAIN WOULD BE WELL ADVISED TO FOLLOW A DUTCH IDEA
TURNING waste plastic into green money works in Amsterdam and an environmental organisation wants to see Spain follow suit. The Dutch capital has a reputation for being one of the most environmentally friendly and alert capitals in Europe with a huge number of bicycles reducing pollution in the air and much being done to remove waste sensibly. Appropriately named Wasted Lab has produced a series of green coins which it makes from the plastic handed in to it and in turn, it has negotiated with various stores and organisations around the city to accept the green coins in part payment for products, services or meals. Anyone who wants to join in has to register with Wasted and receive special bags in which to place plastic of different types for recycling and the positive result is not only do those collectors bring their own plastic but they also pick up plastic in the streets in bins and by canals, increasing the amount that is recycled. Those companies who accept the green coins are then able to use them to get Wasted to collect their rubbish and dispose of it and in the case of plastic, they will re-

ceive green coins as well. The plastic collected by the Wasted company is used as the main source of material for their range of products. They specialise in the manufacture of recycled and recyclable building block, furniture, facilities for local market stalls and children’s games. So successful has this project been that the company reports that they continue to expand the number of outlets that accept the coins, have an ever-growing army of plastic collectors and the value of the coins is now common knowledge so that the coins themselves are likely to be digitised
by the end of this year. For countries like Spain who have been lagging behind in the recycling of waste generally and are not on course to comply with European Union directives this could be an ideal way of meeting the requirements at least in the case of plastic and making it worthwhile for individuals to take the trouble to become involved. Collection of waste in Spain is very regular but in a large number of cases, quite indiscriminate with waste of different types simply being dumped together meaning that recycling is a haphazard and somewhat inefficient undertaking.
ONE of the largest producers of dairy products in Britain, Arla has warned that there could be a Europe wide shortage of butter in particular by the end of this year. For a number of years, there was an excess of milk production which when coupled with EU subsidies led to the creation of butter mountains and milk lakes, but with a deliberate sharp reduction in milk yield, the pendulum has started to swing the other way. Many countries are moving away from margarine and back to butter which means that manufacturers are stretched and although Spain tends not to rely on fresh cream, it is suggested that expatriates’ mince pies and Christmas pudding may have to be served with custard rather than cream.
Santander additional share sale IGNORING the fact that disgruntled former Banco Popular shareholders are working together to try to recover lost money, Santander has invited them to invest more. All of those former shareholders are being given preferential treatment by way of a discounted price of 17.75 per cent in this new offering to cover the €7 billion needed to cover the acquired bank’s estimated bad debts. The management of Santander is confident that it will sell all of the new shares, but as is normal, has effectively insured itself against being left with shares at an estimated cost of €70 million. Santander has also indicated that there will be positive trading contribution from Banco Popular of more than €30 million this year.

THE ROYAL FAMILIES CHAT WHILST BUSINESS CARRIES ON
THE visit of the Spanish King and Queen to the UK was more than just a gesture of friendship between old allies but had economic reasons. Britain is a major home for Spanish investment and travelling with the Royal Party will be a number of heads of Spanish companies who own large parts of British commerce and industry. Those who will be participating include Ana Botín, president of Santander; José María Álvarez-Pallete, president of Telefónica; Ignacio Sánchez Galán, president of Iberdrola: Pablo Isla, president of Inditex; Rafael del Pino, president of Ferrovial and Josep Oliu, president of Sabadell, When one considers that between them they own Santander UK, O2, Heathrow Airport, Zara UK and TSB Bank, their influence in the British economy is significant and they are clearly interested in the future of their investments in the run up to and post Brexit. Whilst the King and Queen will be enjoying the pomp and ceremony of the first Spanish Official Visit in 31 years, the business owners will be discussing

matters with local executives as well as diplomats and political heavyweights. There was a very exclusive breakfast when the most important of the Spanish industrialists met with Dr Liam Fox, Minister for International Trade who was accompanied by his Spanish opposite number Marisa Poncela García. This ‘closed’ meeting was followed by a larger address at the Mansion House where the ‘great and good’ from both countries had a chance to discuss possible future opportunities and there was a short address from King Felipe.
Whilst Spain and the UK are economically close, there was bound to be some jostling for position, especially as Spain would be happy to take over the role of hosting some of the European Union organisations currently headquartered in London. The position of Gibraltar will almost certainly not be allowed to become a major point of public disagreement although it will be discussed in private as it is does play an important financial role in the economy of the Campo. The British Ambassador in Madrid had already been briefed to discuss the Catalan independence situation and to distance it from comparison with Scotland and it is probable that the British government will repeat this position during the visit. The position of expatriates in both countries will be a major topic of conversation as will movement of money and people across borders following Britain’s eventual resignation from the 28. With British industrialists calling for a delay in leaving the Free Trade Agreement, it is also possible that the Spanish visitors will reinforce this suggestion.

Wheat price to increase ALREADY the largest importer of wheat in the European Union, it appears that Spain will have to increase imports by 43 per cent this year. The cause of this is the continuing dry weather which means that forecast production in Spain is down by 1.8 million tonnes. Much of this requirement is to satisfy the need to feed Spain’s huge livestock sector according to research organisation AgroInfomarket. It isn’t just wheat however which will affect the balance of payments as significant increases are expected in importation of both barley and corn, the latter now looking as if it will take over first place in the production of animal feed.
Losing mental capacity whilst living abroad by Stone King Charlotte Macdonald Contact me at international@stoneking.co.uk
MANY UK expatriates living in Spain own properties in the UK and have pensions and investments in the UK. They rely on their UK assets to maintain their lifestyles (and those of their families) in Spain. If they can no longer manage their affairs in the UK due to a loss of mental capacity, it can cause many difficulties.
You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. The best way to avoid the legal and practical difficulties that can occur with the loss of mental capacity is to plan for it in advance by drawing up a document called a ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ (‘LPA’).
An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity.
What is an LPA? An LPA is a legal document that enables you to appoint one or more attor-
neys to act for you when you are no longer able to act for yourself. Your attorney can be a professional,
such as a solicitor or a family member or friend. There are two types of LPA: ‘Health and Welfare’ or ‘Property and Financial Affairs’ An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity. It is therefore important to make one while you are in good health. Why should you get an LPA? You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. If you lose your mental capacity and do not have an LPA, then your family (or the authorities) will have no choice but to make an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a ‘deputy’ to look after your affairs, which can be time consuming and costly. Will my LPA be recognised in Spain? Unfortunately there is no international type of LPA which is guaranteed to work in both the UK and Spain. The advice we give to our clients at Stone King, is that if you have assets in both Spain and the UK, your only safe option is to appoint attorneys in both jurisdictions.
If you would like to discuss LPAs contact Charlotte Macdonald or Dan Harris at Stone King LLP by email international@stoneking.co.uk or by telephone on +44 (0)1225 337599.

OTHERS THINK IT HIGHLY predictable leftie reaction to the appointment of Sir Martin Moore-Bick as chief investigator of the Grenfell inquiry. ‘He knows nothing about how these residents live their lives,’ ranted one dissenter. Er, just a minute, what on earth has that particular observation got to do with anything? This is an enquiry as to what, or whom was to blame for this tragedy; it has nothing whatsoever to do with how the residents lived. (Unless it transpires the fire was due to a bomb-making factory, as was recently reported on a number of social media sites!) ‘We want an unbiased investigation’ they ranted on. Ok, so what would make them happy one wonders? An ethnic immigrant on welfare, living in council accommodation? Oh yeah, you’re bound to get a completely unbiased result from that particular quarter. Sir Martin is a re-
JEREMY CORBYN: Thinks he knows the winner of Love Island! spected judge of some 20 years, his credentials are as long as your arm and utterly impeccable, including commercial law. I know who I would prefer to investigate my claims and catastrophic losses and with all due respect it wouldn’t be someone whose main criteria was ‘knowing how these people live.’ Let this extremely com-
petent appointee get on with the job he has been assigned to. If, after a respectable time lapse, he and his committee appear to be dragging their feet, by all means kick their backsides into speedier action. Objections to his appointment will only drag the whole thing out even longer. Surely the victims of this tragedy deserve a great deal more than that?
Corbyn continues on his unrelenting quest to show everyone he truly is a man of the people, particularly the gullible young. Not only did he spout off at Glastonbury, he now gives his opinion on who he thinks should win the brain numbing TV series of Love Island! The mind truly does boggle.
As a matter of interest, it has been assessed that his other, ‘catch the young’ ploy ie cancelling student loans, would cost something in the region of 100 billion pounds. Yet another example of his totally irresponsible Christmas present list. Don’t get me wrong, I am seriously disillusioned with the Conservative party at the moment, but frankly the thought of Corbyn, Abbott and the union bullies taking over the country, is a far worse scenario. Personally, I would like to see Farage in number 10. Who knows, in the event of another general election, (heaven forbid!) were he to run, I think he would be in with an extremely serious chance. He certainly talks with more sense than the whole of the rest put together, and at least he’s not running scared, as the majority of our illustrious leaders appear to be! Keep the faith Love Leapy.

IN THE BUFF: Your secret is safe with me.
THE recent General Election, with its reports from all over the UK, brought home some memories of old haunts, especially of former, err, homes. So, idly Google-MapsStreet-Viewing, I zoomed in on one home which was sold to a couple with small boys. Oh, look, I moan to myself, they’ve taken down my beautiful shutters (so difficult to fit), painted the front door red (was pristine white) and installed window boxes (definitely out of proportion). Plus some god-ugly goalposts for the kids in the garden... Finally tearing myself away from No 21, I turn my attention to No 23 to check if
that’s also become a renovation project. New windows, new coat of paint, new driveway I note absentmindedly. About to turn away - already getting a bit bored - when something in No 23’s rear garden catches my eye. What’s that pallid, lumpy mass beside one of the high walls dividing the properties? I zoom in even closer. And all’s revealed. Taking advantage of the unexpectedly bright, sunny day of filming and unknowingly caught in its unforgiving glare are our neighbours, Jill and Johnnie. Lying protected by high walls from neighbours’ prying eyes but not the camera’s - in the buff! Well, JJ, it could have been worse. Pity that poor bloke caught on camera being arrested, another coming out of a sex shop, the yobbo vomiting while his mate’s relieving himself on a hedge and the couple caught …well, you know. Street View maps reveal all
sorts of scenes of ordinary daily life depicting all sorts of people caught in all sorts of places they’re not meant to be - images available to anyone, remember. But don’t worry, JJ, you know your secret’s safe with me. Lucky (for you) it hasn’t gone on Instagram ... yet!

THURSDAY THOUGHTS Angus Silvie, Axarquia
Serves to confuse LIVING abroad when you don’t speak the language very well presents plenty of challenges. When I first arrived in Spain I assumed that when they taught you to say ‘hablo poco Espanol’ to indicate you have a poor grasp of Spanish, it meant ‘I have very little Spanish.’ So without checking I took ‘hablo’ to mean ‘I have’ rather than ‘I speak,’ because it sounds more like ‘have’ doesn’t it? So into the shops I went, confidently asking the first shop keeper if she spoke cheese. I got a funny look but she worked out what I wanted so emboldened by my success I continued in this vein for a week or so, no doubt making a complete fool of myself every time, until I checked my translator and the awful truth dawned. But spare a thought for the Spanish, trying to cater for Brits like me and helpfully translating some of their services into English despite on occasions having a similar lack of linguistic education. Their efforts are very welcome but often amusing and not always helpful when the result of their attempts serves only to confuse. Restaurant menus have offered ‘Toasts of Smoked,’ ‘Spaghetti Sailor’s Blouse’ and ‘Fried Spawns,’ and, in case that wasn’t tempting enough, also suggested ‘withered sausage,’ ‘wind of squids,’ ‘in a mess of shrimp’ or ‘weak rice.’ I went to a Spanish zoo which advised ‘Do Not Feed Fingers to the Animals’ with a picture of a stick man about to be devoured by a huge crocodile head. Underneath it warned ‘Forbidden Get the Body Over The Fence!’ The sign was attached to an enclosure full of presumably ferocious flamingos. I considered offering English proof-reading services for a small fee but then thought, no. These mis-translations and grammatical faux-pas offer amusement and entertainment. Let’s keep them as they are!

The most ridiculous thing Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I AM always asked, ‘How can you be so grumpy all the time?’ And the answer is, ‘I’m not.’ I never wake up in a bad mood. I never wake up depressed. But, thanks to so many dumb ass things I’m presented with every day, it’s hard to not get grumpy on a regular basis. It’s little things that set me off like the idiot that has parked on the pavement outside our apartment when there are parking spaces all over the place. Or the car that is double parked in the middle of the road because he can’t be arsed to park a few yards down the road and WALK!! Then of course there are the most ridiculous things that happen. Mrs S is the proud owner of a new phone. So we decided that it needed a new case so to protect it. Simple job right? Just go and buy one. Oh no. We were in Miramar shopping centre near us which must have 10 phone shops in there selling phones and accessories and we went to them all and couldn’t find the type of cover she wanted. Our final stop was Carrefour which, by the way, is one of my favourite shops. Low and behold - there it was - the perfect cover for her phone. All we needed to do was take it out of the box and double check it was
sturdy enough to protect her means of communication which, by the way, cost more than my first car! Not only was the box sealed at both ends, it also had a thick white plastic band, the type you see round boxes sent for worldwide shipping. I took it to the assistant who was tiddling about on his computer and asked him if he could open the box so I could see the case properly. ‘No sorry, we aren’t allowed to open the box.’ ‘Why?’ I asked. ‘Company policy,’ came the reply. ‘Are you nuts? How do I check it’s what I want?’ ‘Well, there is a picture on the front.’ Then came the most incredibly stupid thing I’ve heard in ages. ‘If it’s not right you have 14 days to return it.’ ‘WHAT? I have to buy it, take it home, and open it, then if I don’t like it I bring it back?’ ‘Well, you don’t have to take it home. You can open it on the other side of the till after you have paid then return it.’ So, should I buy scissors or a knife too so I can cut through the security band? By now I’ve lost it and am demanding to see a manager and the assistant then realises how stupid the conversation is and picking up scissors, cuts the band, opens the box, takes out the cover and I look at it and say, ‘Fine, it’s the one we want. Thank you.’ He looks at me. I look at him and he says, ‘I’m sorry, it’s company policy and I know it’s ridiculous.’ At last common sense prevailed and the purchase was completed. So that’s how I become grumpy! What makes you grumpy? email mikesenker@gmail.com

LEGALLY SPEAKING Don’t be guilty of animal abuse this summer AS part of a new 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.
ANIMAL ABUSE: You will be fined. A RECENT case has highlighted the dangers of leaving your pet in a vehicle and it could result in the owner being jailed. The Canine Unit of the Local Police in Alicante have denounced a person for an alleged crime of animal abuse for leaving their dog locked in a vehicle in temperatures above 36 degrees for some time. Concerned local residents alerted the police of the presence of the dog in a car in a car park which was showing signs of distress and severe discomfort. Police immediately arrived at the scene and seeing the dog was on the brink of suffocation broke the rear window of the vehicle to gain access and successfully rescued the animal. Legal proceedings have now been opened and a formal complaint filed against the owner who is charged with a crime of ani-
mal abuse. The dog is now safe and well and a campaign has started to find it a foster family to care for it. In addition, the officers who broke into the vehicle discovered it did not have a valid ITV so the car was seized and removed with a tow truck. The owner also faces separate charges for vehicle offences. As the summer heat continues, police remind all pet owners again about the dangers of leaving animals inside cars where temperatures inside can quickly increase putting the animal’s life at risk. In endangering the life of an animal, the offence can carry a prison sentence as well as fines. If anyone sees an animal left inside a vehicle they are urged to call the police and emergency services straight away.

Cyclists have alcohol limits Two weeks ago, we responded to a series of questions about riding a bicycle. We said that no alcohol limits applied to riders of bicycles. We have now THE same alcohol limits that apply to drivers of automobiles also apply to riders of bicycles and even to pedestrians. These limits would come into effect if an inebriated cyclist causes an accident which involves motor vehicles, or if a drunken pedestrian wanders into the road

someone stumbling along the beachfront promenade, but the possibility is there. If a bicycle rider has no automobile licence, he cannot lose any points, but he can be fined. And if it can be shown that he is the direct cause of an accident, other charges can be brought against him.

Made in Scotland, from girders! Trudy Stewart May contain traces of nuts. WHEN people ask me where I’m from and I tell them, Scotland, they’re usually always surprised because I ‘don’t sound Scottish.’ I’m often mistaken for anything from Cornish to southern Irish. After 12 years of private school, I was left with a rounded out, non-accent; not quite Scottish and not really definable. A slightly more pronounced accent surfaces when I speak to fellow Scots. I don’t suddenly sound like Rab C Nesbitt though, just roll my r’s a bit more! So, because people don’t usually guess I’m ‘Scotch’ (sorry fellow Scots!), I’m usually spared offensive jokes about ‘Jocks,’ for a little while at least. When I first moved to England, I was surprised how much I was teased for all the things that marked me out as Scottish. I got asked the most absurd questions about Scotland and soon realised how many misconceptions there are about us.
Scottish people don’t wake up, eat porridge washed down with whisky, go haggis-hunting in a kilt, come home, watch Braveheart (with more whisky), then sing ‘Oh Flower Of Scotland’ before bed. We have a rich and varied culture and history, beautiful architecture and amazing examples of engineering at work. It’s not all deep-fried confectionery with a Special Brew palate cleanser, or playing the bagpipes. There’s a lot more to us than our outdated stereotypes would suggest and I think that’s true of every country. Each has its own culture and heritage, making it uniquely different and it’s ok to be proud of where you’re from. It is possible to love your country without hating everyone else (though some politicians seem to struggle with that concept). Patriotism is encouraged when it suits (usually world sporting events), but sneered at when it comes to say, schoolchildren learning Gaelic. In its ugliest form, that devotion for your country mutates into extremism and we find ourselves in the world we live in today. Since the Brexit vote, violence
against foreigners has risen. For some, long-buried resentments for ‘Johnny Foreigner’ are resurfacing. It’s not just the UK either; the Donald used an exaggerated stereotype to justify his wall. By turning nations into nothing more than caricatures, it’s easy to portray them as evil and scary or unlucky and thick. Sweeping, often inaccurate, generalisations can be made. That’s a powerful tool as entire nations are easier to hate than individual people. There’s a great Scottish saying: “We’re all Jock Tamson’s bairns” and for me, that’s true now more than ever. Although I describe myself as Scottish, in the bigger picture, I’m just another global citizen. If we could only learn to live alongside each other despite our differences, maybe we really could start making countries great again. trudystewart75@gmail.com SCOTTISH PEOPLE: Don’t wake up and go haggis-hunting.
690 million The amount of cans of Irn Bru that roll off the canning line in Cumbernauld, Scotland every year.
Speaking in tongues THERE is a rare medical condition known as Foreign Accent Syndrome which impairs the speech muscles leading the sufferer to sound like they’re talking in a foreign accent. It usually arises as a result of brain injury or stroke and there are tales of people waking up from a coma, speaking languages they didn’t know previously. One of the first cases was of a Norwegian woman who was hit by bomb shrapnel resulting in brain injury, during the Second World War. She suddenly had a German accent and was shunned by friends and neighbours who suspected her of being a German spy!
Advertising feature AS Spain’s tourism sector prepares for what could be its busiest summer yet, agency Turespaña have declared that the third Thursday in June will officially be World Tapas Day. Their most recent data revealed that food tourism alone attracted over 9.5 million tourists to Spain in 2015, and this day has been designed to capitalise on this success. World Tapas Day will offer attractive, tapas-focused events in Spain, and build the reputation of Spanish cuisine in other countries. According to the latest Turespaña figures, more than 20 countries around the world have already signed up to participate in World Tapas Day when it arrives for the first time this summer. This global celebration of Spanish cuisine is set to enhance Spain’s ranking as the perfect location for a foodie getaway. New statistics released by leading travel dating website and app TourBar.com discovered that solo UK travellers have named Spain as the top destination for a solo foodie holiday. A significant 19.6 per cent of TourBar.com’s UK members, who plan to travel this summer, have named the home of sangria and chorizo as their top destination to visit for a gastronomic adventure. Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey España, is delighted Spain’s culinary achievements are being recognised on a global scale.

Brexit discussions
Congress visit
DELEGATES from the Gibraltar and UK governments met on the Rock to discuss a wide range of issues including Brexit. These were a prelude to the next formal meeting of the Joint Ministerial Council for Exiting the European Union with officials from the Foreign Office, Cabinet Office and input from the Treasury and the Department for International Trade.
THREE members of the United States Congress visited Gibraltar on a fact-finding mission which saw them meet with both Fabian Picardo and Dr Joseph Garcia. The Chief Minister briefed the delegation on the political and economic position of Gibraltar and reiterated the policy of the government that the US Armed Forces were very welcome in Gibraltar.
Spain will have no right of veto on EU IN a written response to a question raised by the Earl of Dartmouth a UKIP MEP, EU President Juncker highlighted the position of Spain and Gibraltar.
Any future arrangements must be agreed by Spain.
European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker.
Put simply, Spain has absolutely no right of veto on any matter concerning negotiations with the European Union which include Gibraltar prior to Britain - and therefore Gibraltar - leaving the Union. He confirmed however that after Brexit then it is EU policy that any future arrangements between the UK and the EU which include Gibraltar must be agreed by Spain, giving that government Photo Credit: European Union. an effective right of veto.

Bar burglary AN 18-year-old man has pleaded guilty to burglary after he was arrested in connection with a break-in at a property situated on Main Street. He admitted to breaking in to the Copacabana bar and restaurant and stealing £946 and was kept in a police cell overnight before being taken to court. The defendant is being held in custody whilst a pre-sentence report is prepared.
Malaga address CHIEF MINISTER Fabian Picardo was invited to give an address in the Congress and Exhibition Palace Adolfo Suarez in Marbella last Tuesday. He has been asked to present the opening address and to lead a discussion on Gibraltar after Brexit as part of a programme of summer courses run by the University of Malaga.

Miss Gibraltar 2017 AFTER initial difficulty in attracting contestants, nine young women appeared in the Miss Gibraltar competition which took place last night. The winner of the pageant held at the Tercentenary Sports Hall and crowned Miss Gibraltar 2017 was Jodie Garcia who seemed to be overwhelmed with the accolade. Jodie will now represent Gibraltar in the Miss World finals to be held in China at the end of the year, no doubt hoping that she will follow in the footsteps of compatriot Kaiane Aldorino Lopez who won the title in 2009 and is now Mayor of Gibraltar.
Regiment flies the rainbow flag © Royal Gibraltar Regiment RG/Facebook
IN celebration of Pride Week the Royal Gibraltar Regiment has flown the LGBTQ rainbow flag from their headquarters in the Devil’s Tower camp.
Our lesbian, gay and bisexual soldiers are critical to our success.” The Royal Gibraltar Regiment was formed in 1958 to protect the British overseas territory from attack. In recent times the regiment mainly undertakes ceremonial tasks and is responsible for safeguarding the Gibraltar government.
DEVIL’S TOWER: The army corp flew its own version of the flag.
The Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel David King, explained that “ours is a naturally diverse regiment in which soldiers of many backgrounds band together to work towards a common goal. “Our lesbian, gay and bisexual soldiers are critical to our success, and the regiment is immensely proud of their courage in defending Gibraltar while living authentic working lives,” he added. However, the army corps has flown its own version which incorporates the castle and key elements from Gibraltar’s flag. The regiment followed in suit after the British Army flew the LGBTQ flag at more than 300 locations across the world.

Summer Sunday shopping bonus ‘SIR, It is encouraging to see more shops including some of the leading supermarkets - open on Sundays now that the summer tourist season is in full swing. I noted in a report (EWN Issue 1670) that the Junta de Andalucia has given the green light to scores of shops in Marbella, Mijas, Torremolinos and surrounding areas to open, making life easier for me as a working mother who often finds Sunday the only day time is at hand. Perhaps as Spain adjusts more to what is now normal in many other European countries, the restrictions at one time I presume introduced on religious grounds will eventually with time be totally lifted. While it is nice to dream of family days at home on Sundays, life sadly rarely allows it nowadays. Ruth Binns, Mijas
Dear Leapy
Lazy bin use that stinks! I WONDER if you can help with trying to educate people regarding the rubbish bins. It is becoming increasingly annoying in our area (Los Requenas) Arboleas to find that people are filling the general bins with cardboard and loose garden rubbish. Also they are putting glass bottles in the yellow rubbish bins which is for plastic. Broken gard en fu rn itu re and othe r la rge pieces of unwanted articles are left at the side of the bins when the tip is only a few metres away. People are either ignorant about where to put their rubbish or are becoming lazy. Perhaps if one of your journalists or reporters have some spare time, they could write a piece in
RUBBISH BINS: People are ignorant about where to put things. your newspaper about recycling and basically what goes where. I am sure a lot of people would appre c ia te it a fte r a ll mos t of us from the UK were used to recy-

Outrage as Costa del Sol toll road fees rise GREEDY buggers, no wonder nobody uses the bloody thing. Then we end up with gridlock on the coast road every evening and morning. Pure corporate greed, we should launch a people’s investigation into who exactly paid for it and whether the tolls levied in its years of operation have paid back any money borrowed or invested. No doubt they will just keep charging regardless. Naimah Yianni
Passengers and pilots (Nora Johnson) TOO true! Worst ever flight for me was about 15 years ago - I can’t recall the airline. We went through some really heavy washing-machine type turbulence after which the pilot, presumably tongue-in-cheek, informed us over the PA system: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m pleased to announce that we have finally regained control of the aircraft.” Chris
UK government plans to register EU citizens PM May offered to resolve mutual right to remain last September but Merkel’s creatures in EU Brussels refused her offer, unconscionable! “enormous amounts of paperwork ...” Says who? It doesn’t seem to prevent the very large numbers applying yearly.
Comments from EWN online The ‘process’ is intended to protect British subjects & our way of life & ensure applicants are fit & proper. It’s good enough for applicants from US, RSA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc. CJ
Foreign police to patrol the streets of Madrid HEY ho are there really that many foreigners in Madrid that they need to bring in foreign police or is this a step towards a European police force and then a European army? Let’s hope not. Naimah Yianni @Naimah Yianni - Why? what have you got to fear from greater international police co-operation? We have had Interpol for 94 years (Yes, since 1923) with no problems.

Anti bull fighting protest in Pamplona WELL done, this really needs to end. I don’t think there
is much sympathy any more for morons who get gored while tormenting these poor animals. Naimah Yianni
Prison for man who sexually assaulted baby in Alicante TWO years to reflect on his disgusting behaviour and the shame he’s brought upon his family. I hope the baby grows up with no recollection of this vile event, sadly the baby’s mother won’t forget. W
Three men gored in Pamplona bull run NEVER mind those idiots, they choose to do that. I feel horrified for those poor bulls that first get chased in the streets and after that die in the arena after being tortured for 20 minutes. This is the 21 century, but it sure doesn’t look like it! Shame on all people that attend this cruel ‘fiesta.’ I hope they pay their medical treatment out of their own pockets, otherwise our insurance will be more expensive. Wietse
umn and while I do not necessarily agree with your views you seem to have a balanced outlook. What concerns me is the popularity that Corbyn and co are seeming to receive. It is so obvious that he targets the gullible and then promises them the earth. I personally am most disgusted that these people and some so-called celebrities are using awful events like Grenfell to either gain publicity or use as a platform to lie to us. I cannot understand these despicable people who also seem to blame Theresa May on everything while conveniently forgetting that she was not doing a bad job at getting the UK out of the mess that Blair and Brown caused. I fear that this leftist onslaught will bankrupt the UK unless the normally complacent majority wakes up and starts being, dare I say it, nationalistic. Kenneth Budd Malaga
Dog days contd IN response to Brit Arenander letter in Euro Weekly News issue 1670 regarding a dead dog on the motorway between Los Gallardos and Mojacar, there are now six dogs on various places on this road in various states of decay. They have been either knocked down by cars or thrown out of moving vehicles. Some of these have been there for months. CAN SOMEONE CONTACT SOMEBODY TO REMOVE THEM? NO WONDER THIS STRETCH OF ROAD IS CALLED DEAD DOG RUN. HOW CAN PEOPLE DO THIS??? Trish Foster Los Gallardos
No flamenco THE police in Nerja now take instruments away from people that play without permission, even if they are unaware of local laws. The best part is that when you want to claim your instrument back you need the receipt from when you bought it. Even locals who sit together playing guitar and singing as they always did can be fined up to €500. So when you sit on a bench and practise, your instrument seems to be in danger... where is the spirit of summer? Mathias Hentz Cortijo San Miguel, Nerja

‘The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age.’ By Lucille Ball, Comedian/Actress
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You are in a romantic mood but something is missing from the picture. It is not that you are feeling the need of having more than one string to your bow, it is more that you are tired of using the same old arrows. So, what is out there to fire your imagination? Something really new will not miss the mark with you.

This is a brilliant week for money and business. Mars is influencing you to be more upfront and practical in your approach. You may feel changes coming on that you would rather deny. Burying your head in the sand is not an option. Take the bull by the horns and you could be surprised at your success.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You will see the lighter side of life this week when you discover that someone is holding a torch for you. You are flattered and vaguely interested. Your combination of intelligence and humour make you a delightful companion. Venus smiles on all your close relationships and you seem to be able to do no wrong. .
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is much to be tackled this week, but you are wary of making full-on decisions. Taking things one step at a time is the best policy because it gives you space to consider the options. There is a restlessness about you that is hard to pinpoint. Perhaps you are feeling positive but have to hold fire because of others. This is frustrating, but try to relax.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Energy levels go up and down and you seek to ration yours by not going all-out physically. It is still possible to be quite dynamic while planning. Indeed, your clear vision impresses a colleague. If you are due for promotion then some good news is likely. Blow your own trumpet rather than wait for others to do it for you.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The changes affecting you for the past few weeks continue but you are now getting better at managing their direction. Someone wanting you to take
a logical action should not be allowed to push you forward. When to act will be clear to you.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Someone who has been unhelpful in the past suddenly steps forward. Could you have been wrong about them? Probably not. Keep a clear mind when with them. Saturn influences you to be more organised before a bout of indecision strikes.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) The influence of Venus and Jupiter brings you the influence and status that you deserve. It’s not that you haven’t worked towards it but now you start to see the benefits. There is an urge to improve your appearance and surroundings to fit in with the ‘new you.’
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) During the past few weeks you may have gained a different perspective on life. Your need for a close attachment and harmony in your life should not be underestimated or denied in the name of practicality.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) To be truly happy you need to build on your partnerships. Keep these in balance and everything else will fall into place. Life has taught you some rather harsh lessons recently. The upshot of that is you now feel more in control and more secure.
SAGITARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is an all-consuming need to see some reward for all your efforts. There will be those who will tell you that you need to push harder for success. Perhaps you need to be with more like-minded people. Certainly being with the wrong colleagues can bring your spirits down.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) When needed you are sure to be positive this week. On a project, ‘striking while the iron is hot’ springs to mind. There is much fun to hand but it must be ‘work first’ at the moment. Some opportunities do not come twice and you need to be aware of them when they present themselves. Spend some quality time with your loved ones.

BIRTHDAYS
IN this sparkling debut novel, a disparate group of Londoners plunge into a search for a missing American actress. In the dreary days of November 1965, American actress Iolanthe Green has become the toast of the West End. Charismatic, mysterious, and beautiful, she brings colour and a sprinkling of glamour to the scuffed boards of Soho’s Galaxy Theatre. But one evening, Iolanthe walks through the stage door, out into the cold London night, and vanishes. All of London is riveted as Fleet Street speculates about the missing actress’s fate. But as time passes and the case grows colder, only Anna Treadway, Iolanthe’s dresser at the Galaxy, still cares. A young woman with a few dark secrets of her own, she is determined to solve the mystery of the missing actress. A disparate band of London emigres - an Irish policeman, a Turkish coffeehouse owner and his rebellious daughter, and a literature-loving Jamaican accountant - joins Anna in her quest. Each of them has come to London to escape the past and forge a new future. Yet, as they draw closer to uncovering the truth of Iolanthe’s disappearance, they may have to face the truth about themselves.

Urinary incontinence What is urinary incontinence? Urinary incontinence is defined as the unintentional passing of urine and it causes social problems as well as low self-esteem in affected individuals. Despite being a common issue for both genders, it occurs more often in women. One in three women suffer from urinary incontinence from the age of 35 and, in Spain, it is estimated that more than one million women have to cope with the condition. What are the causes of urinary incontinence? The most common reasons for it occurring are: excess weight, pregnancy, the menopause, a history of infections in the urinary tracts and hysterectomy (removal of the womb). What are the consequences of urinary incontinence for women’s health? Although urinary incontinence does not pose a severe health risk, it is a condition that can have a profound effect on women’s self-esteem, their quality of life and their social relations.
Can urinary incontinence be treated? It can be treated with medication, surgery or Fotona laser application. What are the benefits of the Fotona laser compared to other treatments? The problem with medication is that it needs to be taken over a prolonged time, it has side effects and it is contraindicated for certain patients. Surgery is an aggressive procedure that demands a longer recovery period and there is a greater risk of complications. On the other hand, the Fotona laser is a painless, non-invasive, simple procedure that allows women to resume their everyday lives straight away. What does Fotona laser treatment for urinary incontinence involve? A beam of light (the laser) heats the vaginal walls and stimulates collagen neogenesis in the vagina to allow the female genitalia to naturally regain their original structure without the need for surgery or anaesthesia.

THE Mediterranean diet. Yes we all know about it, we all know the potential health benefits of sticking to it, but many of us still struggle to follow it, despite it being readily available in Spain. However, do not fear. Experts have now said that just making a few changes to your current diet can make major differences to your health, with making just three healthy changes able to reduce the risk of developing cancer by up to 86 per cent; eating more fruit and fish and reducing your soft drinks. Sounds simple right? So start making the changes today. The seemingly simple and obvious changes have been announced following a study by researchers at the Tel-Aviv Medical Centre. They looked at a dietary questionnaire of over 800 people undergoing screening or diagnostic colonoscopies who did not have a high risk of colorectal or bowel cancer. They found that patients with more advanced polyps, which are small clumps of cells that can, over time, develop into cancer, were eating fewer items recommended within the Mediterranean diet. But eating just two or three components halved the risk of developing advancing polyps compared to having none, with more fruit and fish and lowered soft drink consumption shown to be the most beneficial. A Mediterranean diet is
typically defined as eating above average amounts of vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds, whole grains, fish and meat as well as monosaturated fats such as olive oil, rather than butter.
Mediterranean diet includes vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, fish and meat.

Rogue therapists By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com FAIR warning, I’m going to jump on my soap box. When looking for medical help in the UK, you would rarely worry about your practitioner’s qualifications. However, here on the coast it can be a different story. It is much easier for someone to set themselves up offering medical help, calling themselves a ‘therapist’ without having all the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and legal support. This drives me bonkers! They offer all kinds of solutions, many of them out
dated, unhelpful or just plain dangerous! There is a reason why medical practitioners of all kinds spend years at school. The human body is a complicated thing and we are constantly learning more about it. Why do I get quite so upset by this? I have spent a lot of time and money making sure that my clinic is completely legal. I spent four years doing my physiotherapy degree and since then have spent several weeks each year training, studying and keeping up to date. To then be compared to a massage therapist who’s done a four-week course several years ago and no training since makes my blood boil! Why should YOU be upset?
Say your unqualified and unregistered massage therapist burns you using a piece of equipment they aren’t trained to use. If your therapist isn’t registered with the authorities in Spain you have little to no legal protection.
Most practitioners will happily tell you where they qualified. Check their Colegio Number Medical practitioners have to belong to a Colegio in Spain. No matter how highly qualified in their own country if they don’t have a Colegio number they are practising illegally in Spain.
Ask to see their qualifications They worked hard to get these. Most practitioners will happily tell you where they qualified. Check their home country qualifications Many of the therapists here in Spain qualified in their home country and this should mean that they are also members of their professional organisation in that country as well. However, be aware that membership of an organisation based outside Spain does not mean that they are legally allowed to practise in Spain. We hear scare stories about ‘rogue builders,’ well these rogue therapists can do much, much more damage a building can be repaired but can you?

Back pain
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. How can you relieve back pain? Back pain can come about due to many different types of illness, but in the majority of cases rest, avoiding heavy lifting or straining postures, analgesics, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants or physiotherapy have all proven to be effective in alleviating back pain. In extreme cases surgery may also be a solution but is only used in a small number of cases where back pain is caused by a specific medical condition. When should you seek medical attention? You should always seek medical attention if the pain is severe and/or lasts for a long time. You should see your regular doctor first and afterwards, if necessary, a specialist. Seek medical attention immediately if you feel numbness or tingling around your buttocks or genitals, unexplained weight loss, chest pain as well as back pain
or if there is a swelling or a deformity in your back. These problems could be a sign of something more serious and need to be checked urgently. What causes back pain? There can be many causes of back pain but the most common causes are strains or sprains in the back. Other causes such as a slipped disc or muscle and tendon contractures also have additional symptoms, such as numbness, weakness or a tingling sensation. How can you prevent injuring your back? The best way to prevent it is to have good posture, especially when sitting. Try not to strain your back by lifting heavy loads or by lifting from an awkward position. Exercise which strengthens your back muscles can also help prevent back pain, but consult a physiotherapist on what exercises are most suitable for you.

Kings of Rumba Fla EWN EXCLUSIVE By John Smith ONE of the most iconic bands involved in Flamenco music, the Gipsy Kings is coming to Marbella and founder member Andre Reyes is looking forward to it. Speaking exclusively to the EWN Media Group, he confirmed that they would be breaking off their US tour to bring the 10piece band to perform at Starlite on August 3 and Puerto Sherry, a marina in the Bay of Cadiz on August 14. He explained that “the Marbella gig will be a very structured and enjoyable performance for the band and audience alike but the other concert will be like one big party where everyone can let their hair down.” This brief visit to Spain will include special appearances from brother Mario Reyes and Chico Castillo but the emphasis will be on Andre Reyes as leader of this band. All of the original Kings had played with other popular artists in the past and surprisingly they only joined together as the Gipsy Kings in 1978 and, despite the fact that they play a style of Rumba in the Flamenco
style, they are not Spanish but were mostly born in France after their parents fled Gerona and the Civil War. Andre still sees his roots as being in Spain but “I am not French or Spanish” he said “rather a Gitano, a Catalan Gypsy!” When asked if he ever gets bored with constant touring which has recently taken the band to America, Dubai, much of Europe and Japan, he laughed saying “The fans are the most important people, they keep me alive and I love performing to them.” Once this latest round of touring is completed, he plans to record a new album in late autumn or winter and their infectious style of play will no doubt make for yet another interesting disc. The success of Bamboleo may not be repeated in a hurry but it certainly established the Gipsy Kings in the mind of so many around the world. Whilst they enjoy playing many of the classic Rumba numbers, they sometimes move away from the norm and when approached by the Eagles management, he was pleased to have the chance to give Hotel California the Gipsy Kings treatment. Andre himself has some very eclectic

RONDA will host the Official 2017 Ascari Base-Jump Championship this weekend at the Balcon de la Alameda, on July 15 and 16 from 7am1pm. Base-jumping is regarded as a fringe extreme sport. The acronym stands for building, antenna, span and earth. Participants jump from a cliff or fixed structure using a parachute or wing suit. The sport is perceived to be considerably more dangerous than sky diving, as jumpers are far closer to the ground which means their parachutes take longer to open. Competitors will be marked on the duration of the free fall, the opening angle of their parachutes and the accuracy of their landing. Event director Angel Ballesteros has thanked the

The circus is coming CIRCUSPONA, a festival of circus entertainment and music is returning to Estepona for the second year on Saturday August 5. The venue is Los Niños Park and the headline performer will be award-winning actor, poet and part-time clown Pepe Viyuela. With a selection of different acts and workshops, all of which are promised to be child friendly, the event will start at 6pm and continue until 3am the next morning. There are a limited number of tickets available which are currently priced at €5 for children and €23 for adults and can be purchased at www.tiquetin.com.

World music THE Terral presentation of world and folk music came to an end at the Teatro Cervantes with two totally different but exceptionally popular group performances. Franco-Algerian Rachid Taha had the audience dancing in the aisles as he and his band mixed some hard rock with punk and traditional Arabic music. The gentle sounds of Gaelic Folk band Capercaillie appealed to a different but equally enthusiastic audience and with earlier performances by New Flamenco guitarist Vicente Amigo and Salif Keita from Mali, the entire event has been a success which will hopefully be repeated in 2018.

A crazy night in the heart of Marbella MARBELLA took a step back in time when it welcomed the Crazy 80’s gig to the Puente Romano with the star of the event being Billy Ocean. While he and the other main performers, Heather Small and Right Said Fred are remembered from past hits, they have moved forward with the times and shown a longevity and intent to continue to entertain audiences which many other artists have tried but failed. The opening act was the ever popular Paul Maxwel who is able to get an audience warmed up with his wide repertoire of everyone’s favourite songs and as ever he went down a storm as guests were arriving to the gig. First to hit the stage was Right Said Fred and the two brothers Fairbrass Richard and Fred who may have been dismissed as ‘one hit wonders’ have just released their ninth
album Exactly on their own label which is distributed by Universal Music. Reviews suggest that this is their best album ever, recorded with a new band and guest artists such as Marcella Detroit of Shakespears Sister fame and when Richard bounded on stage wearing a long white skirt, it was clear that this was going to be a performance that would keep the audience entertained. Fred is an under-rated guitarist and joined by a female saxophonist, the brothers were certainly well received. Next on stage was the fabulous Heather Small, the former voice of M People who had a string of hits including Moving on Up, One Night in Heaven and Search for the Hero. This is a singer who understands the stage and how to captivate an audience with her strong and powerful voice, presenting a range of her most wellknown numbers. Billy Ocean brought a smoking band with him and looked very comfortable in his white suit and grey hair tied back in a Rastafari style to denote his religious and lifestyle beliefs which he has embraced in his later years. Born in Trinidad, he found fame in the UK and then internationally when his self-penned single When the Going gets Tough was chosen for the soundtrack of the Michael Douglas movie Jewel on the Nile. With a back catalogue of 10 albums and numerous hit sin-
gles, it was clear that he had come to entertain. His professional performance didn’t hide the fact that he was enjoying himself as was the lively audience. The evening was a roaring success and now everyone is waiting for the next event at the Puente Romano Tennis Club on July 21 which sees the legendary George Benson perform.

WILL never cease to be amazed at the amount of dross that is aired on TV in the name of entertainment; Love Island, Big Brother, Kardashians, The Real Housewives of wherever and the like. But a friend of mine commented about a new (to me) show called Naked Attraction. For those of you that have not seen this programme the clue is in the title! Boy seeks girl; six young women stark naked parade for said boy! Who then has to strip off as well. Girl seeks boy; Six stark naked boys get ogled at by girl who then has to strip off too. They also have gays, pan sexuals (something involving bread?) bi-sexual and the list goes on. Now let’s make something clear, I am not a prude and I love the female form and am happy to see it in all its glory, but I’m not sure that having

A belly - of pork rolls and sushi. nude bodies in full glare on a dating programme makes for a good base to start a relationship. I always thought that the sexiest part of a relationship was eventually discovering what was beneath the clothes. Which is probably why the Japanese came up with the ‘body table.’ Now this could be a new ‘dating - food pro-
gramme.’ Six girls are laid out and their bodies are covered with Rolls, Dumplings, Sashimi and Sushi and contestants armed with chopsticks start on the belly and have to eat all the food on the rest of the body before they are allowed to take the food from the ultimate erogenous zones! Now that seems the ultimate date - with dinner first!
A place of tranquility - Las Islas Hotel.
An oasis in the proverbial MY sister came over last week for a few days to see her son and grandchildren so I ventured down to Torreblanca to see sister and nephew to have lunch and celebrate young Noah’s birthday. After a pleasant lunch I took Melanie and Richard back to his house, but on the way stopped at the Boutique Hotel that is Las Islas, in that pueblo. It has become one of my sister’s guilty pleasures. I have to admit, it seems very incongruous to find a little hotel in the middle of a sprawling urbanisation, but there it is, complete with
pool, tropical gardens and birds. While we did not eat there - having already had lunch - we did have an after lunch drink and I, of course, had to look at the menu. There is a very heavy Lebanese influence and peculiarly mixed with Spanish dishes and just for fun, theres some Greek, Hungarian and even an Oriental Chicken Salad. The restaurant is open for non residents, but they do not normally serve drinks to non residents or non diners. Obviously my sister has some clout here!
ON THAT NOTE I will bid you farewell until next week and should aspiring restaurateurs need some help or advice, please do not hesitate to contact me. A toast to Good Food, Good Wine and Good Friends.
REGULAR readers may remember me mentioning about a wine that I was given a few weeks ago that was disarmingly coloured blue. I said it had a ‘nose’ like nail polish remover so I didn’t drink it, but I did decide I would cook with it. So a chicken dish in white wine (well blue!) was prepared. And guess what? You’re right; it turned the chicken - blue! I did contact the bodega a couple of times to find out more details of Baltar de Alort but I did not receive a reply. I wonder if it is actually a white wine with colourant? If not what makes it blue. I shall have to ask my maestro friend Pancho Campo I’m sure he will know. While we are talking about wine, I may as well throw my wine corner in and this week I am going to celebrate the Bodega Muga, probably one of the best and most well-known of the Rioja, but on this occasion I am going to talk about their Prado Enea 2009. The interesting thing about this particular wine is that they do not always make it unless it’s particularly good. For instance they didn’t make it in 2007/8 or 2012/13. Robert Parker was suitably impressed awarding it 97 points and commented: “The most classic cuvée was not produced in 2007 or 2008, so we jumped to the phenomenal 2009 Prado Enea. It was produced with grapes from cooler vineyards that enjoyed 20 extra days of slow ripening compared with warmer zones, which provided them with perfect ripeness and deep flavours. This blend of 70 per cent Tempranillo, 20 per cent Garnacha and the remaining 10 per cent between Mazuelo and Graciano had an extended élevage, in this case no less than three years (alternating newer and older barrels). This is still a baby and I know Winemaker Jorge Muga would like to keep it in bottle for longer before selling it, but the commercial pressure is tremendous, as there has been no wine since 2006. The wine has 14.1 per cent alcohol and a surprising 3.34 pH, especially considering 2009 was generally a warm and ripe year. But somehow this cuvée seems to work very well in ripe vintages. The wine feels even younger on the palate, and it still needs to develop some further complexity and the silky texture for which this wine is famous. There is good balance here and all the elements are in place for a nice development in bottle. In fact, it feels like one of the great recent vintages of Prado Enea.” As I said there was no Prado Enea in 2012 or 2013 but it was produced in 2010, 2014 in small quantities and in 2015. At this quality it represents pretty good value. But again it’s not a quaffing wine at 40€ a bottle. A classic rioja - at its best.

Who’s watching our kids this summer? Play it safe Marbella Moments by Nicole King AS I understand it Andalucia has already been ranked amongst the highest for child abductions in Spain and to add to this worry our children have become easy targets now on so many more levels over the last few years. At a time when tourism is booming and we all tend to relax our guard (leaving our brains on the plane type of attitude) it is more important than ever to keep both eyes open and constantly on our kids at all times. It takes but a moment for a child to wander off or to be lured away from your side and even less to accept an unknown friend on social media.
As if it wasn’t enough to be faced with the real, day-to-day challenges of bringing up a child, we are now also responsible for their virtual lives too; the ones they live on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the likes. Super for keeping in touch with friends and family and sharing photos but also super for anonymous bullying, taunting or stalking. Just by accepting a friend who’s not the friend we’d hope can turn a child or adult’s world upside down. The more technology advances it seems the more we are at risk. The recent incorporation of a map function for the app Snapchat is a testament to this. Snapchat already uses facial recognition but this new worldwide map shows where the user is in real time, with live video feed and photo functions.
Just by accepting ‘a friend’ gives them instant access to your exact whereabouts at all times - virtual reality has become virtual insanity. Unless the child (or adult) knows to switch this SnapChat App to ‘ghost mode’ (for private use only), anyone, anywhere in the world can look to see where they are and follow them (or worse). We’ve always lived in a precarious world, but I don’t think most of us are ready for what this new virtual technology really means in our real worlds. Our children are the most vulnerable, particularly over the next few summer holiday months when they are likely to spend more time on social media than ever and be that little bit further out of sight whilst playing. My intention is not to worry
anyone but just acts as a reminder that the Costa del Sol is on the border of Africa, in the middle of the thoroughfare to Spain’s capital city and we’re a major tourist destination. There are people who make their livings off our ignorance and distraction, from petty thieves to those who deal in the black market organ trade. As I often say, we really just don’t know who’s sitting next to us or who really is watching our children, so best play it safe! Happy holidays. www.rtvmarbellanow.com

Make your new home ‘winter friendly’ with Neater Heater EVERY year thousands of expats realise their dream as they buy their ‘Place in the Sun.’ Living in Spain can be liberating for them as they adapt to the more relaxing, laid back lifestyle. What very few people warn them about, however, is the winter! Most Spanish houses are not built with winter in mind, and most hardy northern Europeans think ‘How bad could it be?’ To which the answer is: ‘Pretty bad!’ A general lack of insulation means that Spanish homes can be like an ice block once the sun goes down at night, and the chattering of
GRAEME TYRRELL ONE of the more popular container plants in warm to temperate climates, and a favourite in the Mediterranean region is the Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina). It is a very strong growing plant but unfortunately it must be kept in a container unless you have a place that can maintain a 30 metre high and up to 40 metres wide tree with roots so strong they can lift up pavements and strangle underground pipes. This strength however is why it is so good in a container. It has the ability to grow in adverse conditions of minimal water and direct sun for long periods without expiring. It does have its limitation though which, when understood, allow it to grow happily on your porch, terrace or balcony providing its bright green dense foliage reminiscent of a tropical jungle environment. Its most basic need is to have an appropriate soil mixture that permits free drainage of water while having the capacity to retain moisture in the mix. A good potting mixture with an equal part by volume of pine bark mixed with it can be a good blend. Stones can be used instead of pine bark but as
uation. Having recently moved to Spain, they were fruitlessly looking for a decent home heating solution for their two families when, by chance, Tony discovered a Norwegian convector heater that was unavailable in Spain. Already using elec-
tric heaters, Tony was amazed at the efficiency of the Norwegian heaters, joking that it was now costing him less to keep his family warm than it had been costing to keep them cold! Richard and Tony decided to make these heaters available throughout the Costa Blanca, and set up Neater Heater to achieve this. In fact,
they have become so popular that there are outlets selling Neater Heaters from the Costa Blanca all the way down to the Costa del Sol, and now even in Portugal. However, if you have no agent near you, never fear, they can be bought from our internet shop and delivered to your door, often by the next day.

Weeping Fig - happy or sad? they don’t retain moisture the container will need more regular watering. Light is also an important issue. They will tolerate full sun when established but do well in light shade as a house plant. If you move them from a very light position to one of low light they will most likely lose many leaves but generally recover. Loss of leaves indicates a change of environment for the Weeping Fig but usually they reboot once a balanced environment for them is re-established. Watering ideally requires that the container is drenched and then allowed to become touch dry before rewatering. The plant is tolerant of variations of this but if it becomes too dry it may shed its leaves to reflect the degree of dryness and if too constantly wet it may develop fungal problems in the roots that can cripple the plants vitality. Allowing water to escape from the container when drenching assists with leaching out accumulating salts in the soil mix. The Weeping Fig is sensitive to salt build up so tap water with high mineral
content can be detrimental therefore rain water is better and chemical based fertilisers with high salt content are detrimental in the long term. It is best to provide organic fer-

tilisers in liquid form to maintain nutrients but not excessively. As they are inclined to be a large tree, minimal fertilising will assist in managing its size. They can be potted up into larg-
er containers as they grow but when they reach the maximum desired size, it will be time to repot into the same sized container by removing the plant from the container flushing away most of the
old soil mixture, prune the roots by about a third and return it to the container with a new soil mix. In this way the plant can last for decades. I have two 1.5 metres tall that are a 15-years-old and as healthy as can be from caring for them in this way. I think my Weeping Figs are happy.

Ten simple tips for decluttering your home A CLUTTERED home can lead to a st r e ssf u l life. There’s nothing worse than an attic or basement brimming with things, some of w hich y o u m a y n o t h av e used for years. You d o n ’t h a v e t o w a it for spring to have a clear out. With these simple tips, you can have a clutter-free home a n d ( a s a n a d d ed bonus) mind. 1. Don’t see it as a chore - enjoy it! Do not focus on how difficult i t wi l l b e t o s o rt through those jigsaws with pieces missing and decades of junk you and the family have acquired/created. Instead, try to enjoy purging
your living space. Letting go can be a joyful experience. 2 . Brea k it d o w n in to manageable chunks. If y o u h av e a lo t o f re sponsibilities then it’s proba b ly g o in g to b e h a rd for you to tackle it all at once. Instead, break it down into individual rooms or even cupboard by cupboard, if necessary. Of course, some people will prefer to do it all at once or even a combination of both for the final push. 3. Phone a friend! Try in g to d e c id e w h a t handmade Christmas decoration to keep or whether to
bin your dog’s dis c a rde d tooth can be difficult. That’s w he re ha ving a frie nd on hand can help as they can advise you without the sentimental attachment. Better yet, if you have grown-up children, get them involved and then they can’t blame you for throwing out their favourite, mouldy teddy. 4. The three-year rule. If you haven’t used something for three years, bin it! We are all guilty of keeping things that we’re sure we’ll find a us e for but, if you haven’t used something for three years or over, chances are you never will. 5. Allocate three boxes.
You don’t have to wait for spring to have a clear out. Label your boxes Keep, Donate and Throw away. Be ruthless and focus on how much good your unwanted items can do when donated to charity. If you’re wasting too much time trying to decide, you might need another box for things you’re unsure about, but don’t allow tha t to be c ome a holding pen while you’re making up your mind. 6. Organise your shoes. Shoe s ha ve a w a y of spilling out of the wardrobe and ending up in almost e ve ry room of the house. With some simple shelving, a hanging s hoe -holde r or s hoe rack, floor space will ins ta ntly ope n up. If a ll else fails, get rid of some pairs (but resist the temptation to go shoe-shopping as a reward!)
7. Embellish and beautify. In any space where clutter tends to pile up, embellish with a favourite framed print or something special. Whenever you’re tempted to re-use as a dumping ground, you will think twice when you see how good it looks without the clutter.
frame it, dispose of it. Of cour se, som e paper wor k needs to be kept for certain time periods and your child may never forgive you for t hr owi ng out t hei r f i r st dr awi ng f r om nur ser y school, but use your judgement and persist with the purge.
8. Re-use where possible. If you’ve managed to clear out a chest of drawers or Welsh dresser, re-purpose it to clear your other clutter. If it’s no longer required, donate or ditch.
10. Take t he 12- 12- 12 challenge! This is a simple task of locating 12 items to throw away, 12 i t em s t o donat e and 12 items to be returned to their proper place. It can be a fun way to organise 36 things in your house quite quickly.
9. Purge your paperwork. I f you can’t f i l e i t or

a muzzle will protect your home from being eaten. A muzzle will ensure that your dog is unable to eat any rubbis h or pois on on the ground that alone is worth training for. When visiting the vet it can also be useful for nervous dogs to wear a muzzle a nd a ls o w he n a dog ha s been operated on. Wearing a muz z le is a nothe r w a y to prevent him from licking the wound. In the event of an emergency, if you do not have a muzzle then one can always tie the leash around the dog’s mouth to prevent it biting. I would add that a muzzle does not cure a bad behaviour, but it is useful whilst a n e ffe c tive the ra pe utic strategy is developed. FOR only €192,000 (£170,000), your dog can have its own manor house, fit for a king. Hacate Verona is a Cheshirebased, design company specialising in high-tech, palatial pads for pooches. Taking their ‘Spanish Palacio’ as an example, this orange and red terracotta-topped home is made up of 3,708 individual pieces and
Fish and tips ANYONE who is renting a property will know the struggle to find somewhere that accepts pets. So what can you do if you have a pet-sized hole in your heart, but a landlord who won’t accept dogs or cats? More and more people are turning to fish as pets and they are great for people who don’t have space or time for more high-maintenance pets. With the right equipment and research, fish can make an ideal first pet for children, teaching them the responsibility of looking after a pet. Generally speaking, fish are easier and less expensive to feed and care for than some other pets, but still require the right environment and knowledgeable owners. Unlike dogs and cats, fish never suffer from separation anxiety or destructive behaviours when left alone. They don’t need daily walks or litter trays and never have to be groomed or have their teeth cleaned!
GOLDFISH: Start with a small bowl. As well as having a proven calming effect on anyone who watches them, they are quiet so you never have to worry about them waking your sleeping baby. A well-maintained aquarium can be a great addition to any room in your home and fish come in an infinite array of sizes, shapes and vibrant colours. If you’ve never kept fish before, please ensure you do your research and start small with a bowl or small aquarium and low-maintenance, hardy fish such as the goldfish.
In the doghouse takes 2,684 hours to complete. Once finished, owners can treat their pampered pets with features like treat dispensers as well as kitting them out with smart technology, allowing owners to adjust the temperature when Fido gets too hot or cold.
Each doghouse has a comfortable, relaxation area and multiple windows. Equipped with a separate bedroom, the dog can rest undisturbed and has its own entrance while human access is via a side wall that opens when required.

Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

Volvo embraces electric VOLVO has announced that, from 2019 onwards, all of its new cars will be electric or hybrid. It is the beginning of the end for the combustion engine’s dominance, which will be phased out after next year. “Volvo Cars has stated that it plans to have sold a total of one million electrified cars by 2025,” said Chief Executive Hakan Samuelsson. “When we said it we meant it. This is how we are going to do it.” The Swedish manufacturer has five distinct electric models planned for release in the next five years. All other cars built will be hybrids. It’s an ambitious move for a company which has yet to release even one production-ready electric vehicle.

Motoring correspondent Ian Giles reports on the latest news from the Andalucia Classic Car Club, the most successful such society in the area and probably in Spain with over 600 members.
I
T was hot. It was very hot. But that didn’t deter members of The Classic Car Club of Andalucia from coming out and enjoying their July classic car run and lunch last Saturday. Forty cars and over 80 people turned up at Venta Los Morenos, between Alhaurin and Mijas, to start the regular monthly classic car run. Venta Morenos is always a good choice for the start point of a CCCA run as it has ample parking and, of course, excellent bacon sandwiches and coffee to sustain hungry drivers and navigators. Most crews arrived around 10.00am to enjoy breakfast and a natter prior to the 11.00 departure time. The day was organised by Club President Ian Giles and Carol Giles and a briefing was given by Ian prior to the start, along with an explanation of the Tulip roadbook for the benefit of several new members coming along for the first time. The roadbooks that are used by the Club allow for very simple, easy to use navigation that requires no language as symbols are used to display every road-junction, roundabout and sign post encountered on route. This system gets its name from the famous ‘Tulip’ rally in Holland where it was designed to be used in the late 1950’s. The system is still in use for both club and international rallies to this day. It’s quite a lot of work to prepare, but in operation is simple and very successful. There were some superb motor cars out on this event with new members bringing a stunning Mercedes 190SL from the late 1950’s. A member that hasn’t been seen for a while, Peter Polet, brought out his most magnificent Bentley Speed 8 from the 1920’s and it was a delight for everyone to see this car

Hot, hot, hot! out on Spanish roads. Throw into the mix such things as an AC Cobra, Porsche Turbo, a gaggle of XKR Jaguars, a Lotus 7 and Lotus Exige, an enormous Ford Galaxie 500, a Lancia Flamina convertible, an MGA and an MGR V8, as well as numerous Mercedes, a Corvette, a beautiful Fiat 500 driven by former McLaren F1 boss, Jo Ramirez, a lovely little Morris Minor 1000, a Mazda MX-5 owned by club member Sheila Graveling and the most stunning Packard 8 from the 1950’s owned by Swedish club member Jan Alvemark and you can see why these events are so popular with club members and spectators alike! The route itself was enjoyed by everyone and headed from Morenos towards Coin before turning off onto the A-355 heading for Cartama. Then the route joined the A357 for a short while, turning off onto the A343 and on into Álora. Then the route headed up towards El Chorro, passing the reservoir and the famous Camino del Rey and some stunning scenery. Not only is the camino itself very famous but this is also where scenes from the Frank Sinatra film ‘Von Ryan’s Express’ were shot in the 1960’s. A coffee stop was taken at the cafes near to the dam crossing the lake at El Chorro and it was here that something of an impromptu party started around the amazing Ford Galaxie 500 of Tarik Wildman. The huge boot-lid was used as a picnic table as Tarik generously served bottles of French Champagne and

cheeses to any club member wishing to indulge whilst playing rock -n-roll on the car’s music system much to the bemusement of passing tourists! From here the route then joined the road around the El Chorro lakes, one of the most spectacular areas in southern Spain, crossing the dam and heading up towards Campillos. Here the route turned south following the A-357 before turning off and heading back towards Coin and then taking the beautiful road towards Mijas so that members could enjoy the amazing views out over the ocean towards the African coast. Quite spectacular! From Mijas pueblo the route then finished at the excellent Italian restaurante, Da Brunos, just over the roundabout with the AP-7 in Mijas Costa. Here the friendly and very professional staff handed out mini pizzas and glasses of Prosecco as a very enjoyable prelude to an excellent lunch. Starters were a mix of smoked salmon, mussels and salads. Main courses included fresh salmon, veal or spaghetti profumo which was served with house recommended white Verdejos and red Riojas. All members concluded that this was indeed another memorable CCCA day out with an equally memorable and enjoyable lunch to round the day off.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher
Subaru BRZ SPORTS COUPES are a niche yet important sector of the overall car market, with many models costing north of £40,000, but there are some notable exceptions. At the head of the list is the Subaru BRZ, a sleek head-turning model with plenty of charisma. It is rear-wheel-drive, has a taut chassis and a limitedslip differential which diverts engine power to the rear wheel with most traction, helping provide outstanding handling. But that’s not the best part of the BRZ - what is remarkable is that it costs from just €30,190 (£26,495). It’s hard to find a more enjoyable and engaging sports coupe at that sort of money. Power comes from a 2.0 litre 197 hp horizontally-opposed Boxer engine delivering - with six-speed manual gearbox - a quick 0-100 kph
time of just 7.6 seconds and top speed of 225 kph (140 mph). My test model had an automatic gearbox and its figures are 0-100 kph 8.2 seconds, 209 kph (130 mph) and fuel economy of 14.0 kpl (39.8 mpg). With optional sat-nav this version costs €31,899 (£27,995). The slick and responsive auto gearbox still kept plenty of fun in the driving experience, and the driving is what this car is all about. With its ground-hugging stance and improved aerodynamics the car stayed glued to the tarmac and with super-responsive steering, you always feel totally in control. With its potent styling, sports seats, big alloys, twin exhausts, rear diffuser and a boot spoiler, the BRZ looks an all-out sports car but it does have a practical side too. For one thing it has four
seats, though while Subaru says it will take four people “at a pinch” I have to quibble - anyone aged over 12 will struggle for space in the rear of the car. Boot space is decent at 243 litres and with the rear seats folded you get a surprising 1,270 litres which can accommodate some bulky items. Standard kit on the test model included automatic LED headlights, heated leather and Alcantara seats, power windows, automatic air-conditioning, Subaru’s
Starlink infotainment system with 6.2 inch colour touchscreen, voice recognition, satnav and Bluetooth. You also get cruise control, keyless entry, push-button start and multi-adjustable steering wheel. No doubt about it, the BRZ offers a lot for the money but more importantly delivers a driving experience which reminds you of just how much fun motoring used to be. SUBARU BRZ: Plenty of charisma.
Model tested was UK specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.

GREAT news and well-deserved after a whole year of effort and skill. Congratulations to a student of the Benahavis Golf School, a student who has a proven ability in this difficult sport. Julia Lopez Ramirez, has shown tenacity throughout this and previous years, brilliance in the game and above all, kindness and companionship, which she transmits to everyone who knows her. Congratulations also to Manuel Araujo, her teacher - who has taught her every shot of the game - as well as to her parents, for sacrificing their time so that Julia could relax without worrying about anything else. Julia Lopez Ramirez is 11th in the ranking of Spain golf. Another year, the golf school Benahavis has given a lesson in sportsmanship and behaviour. Congratulations to all!

International basketball match in Benahavis THE Spanish national basketball team’s pre-season in Benahavis, gives a unique opportunity to watch the team that has won everything and continue to lead the ranking of national teams. They will play an international match against Israel on Saturday July 22, at the municipal covered pavilion from 9pm. The municipality of Benahavis offers registered voters 350 free tickets, for all those who are interested in attending the match (please ensure that you are actually going to attend because places are limited). If you are registered in Bena-
havis and require tickets, please: Call 952 855 025 and ask for reception. Give full names and each attendee name. Names will be verified against the municipal census. In principle, entries will be delivered at the entrance to the pavilion the day of the game, which will be checked against the names of attendees (method requirements subject to change by the organisation). The application period starts on July 7 at 9am. The deadline closes on July 19 at 12pm.
The players aiming to win the 2017 Open: • Brookes Koepka, the recent US Masters winner. • Hideki Matsuyama will ‘soon’ become Japan’s first Major winner. • Rickie Fowler has been so near to winning a Major. • Thomas Pieters certainly has the temperament to win. • Tyrrell Hatton loves playing on links courses. • After a superb US Masters England’s Tommy Fleetwood is in form. • Spain’s Jon Rahm could well be the surprise package. • Dustin Johnson, a champion who doesn’t lie down for long. • Jordan Spieth can easily finish in the top three. • Masters king Sergio Garcia is also in fine fettle. • Rory McIlroy, might, just might, have a chance, likewise Henrik Stenson, Jason Day, Adam Scott, Bill Haas, Brandt Snedeker, Branden Grace, Charl Schwartzer and Emiliano Grillo. Yet we could easily see a rank outsider beat the stars! Fact: An Englishman has never won on this course!

ONCE again, no-one, even those remotely interested in sport, have been disappointed with the action they’ve seen in various competitions worldwide during the last week… and it will get better! RUGBY UNION Last Saturday, the British and Irish Lions came mighty close to beating the New Zealand All Blacks, and indeed, winning a thrilling se-
ries, by drawing 15-15 in Auckland in the final Test down under… courtesy of Owen Farrell’s long-distance penalty kick with just three minutes remaining. The hosts had won 38 games at Eden Park and their last draw was against South Africa over a decade ago. So it’s “Well done the Lions - you did GB proud.” CRICKET Joe Root celebrated his first game as England’s captain in terrific style as his team walloped South Africa by 211 runs in the opening Test at Lords. England amassed 458 (Root scoring 190) and 233 while the tourists were dismissed for
361 and 119 (‘Man of the Match’ Moeen Ali taking 10 - giving him ten wickets overall). This was England’s first win over the Springboks at Lords since 1960, doing so inside four days. The second Test starts tomorrow at Trent Bridge. And England - after four straight wins - are progressing in the Women’s World Cup which continues until July 23. Last Sunday they beat reigning world champions Australia by three runs at Bristol, scoring 259-8 against 256-8. FORMULA ONE Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) won last Sunday’s Austrian Grand Prix, ahead of Sebast-
ian Vettel and Danny Ricciardo. Lewis Hamilton, annoyed after his team changed a gear box during practice, was subsequently penalised, but after starting eighth on the grid, he drove well to finish fourth. Vettel leads the driver ’s championship by 20 points from Hamilton (171-151) with Bottas third (136). The next race is the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday week. TENNIS At the time of going to press, two Brits - reigning champion Andy Murray and Johanna Konta - had reached the quarter-finals of their singles competitions.
LIONS: You did GB proud.
