The first €10 million development is already underway in the municipality, which embraces Mijas Pueblo and several resort areas on Mijas Costa. The area is home to more than 11,000 expatriates. Announcing the €200 million bonanza, Mayor Juan Carlos Maldonado said the major local boost to residential tourism has highlighted “the security that our locality generates for international companies.” La Cala de Mijas is set to be among the main beneficiaries of the funds, with more than 600 houses and apartments planned within the next 10 years in a joint project between British construction firm Taylor Wimpey and Irish chain FBD Hotels and Resorts. These two companies alone are to invest almost €125 million following

By Sean Campbell THE Costa del Sol parents of toddler Lucia Vivar - found dead alongside a railway line four kilometres from where she disappeared while playing want her death further investigated. Lawyer and spokesperson for the family, Ana Belen Ordoñez said: “There is no conclusive evidence about what happened, since what we know so far does not allow us to abandon any line of investigation.” A post mortem examination revealed no signs of violence or a sexual attack on the threeyear-old who disappeared just before midnight on July 26 near Pizarra railway station, about 30 minutes inland from Malaga. But relatives and friends still believe she was perhaps led by someone along the railway line, and several criminologists have offered the family further support after one, Victor Marquez from Antequera, walked the route wearing similar footwear and said it ended up in tatters, while Lucia’s was intact. The College of Criminologists of Asturias and its Dean have agreed that Lucia could not have walked so far

A further twist is that the train driver who found Lucia’s body just before 7am on the morning after she had disappeared shortly before midnight says that he saw an unmarked grey van passing beneath the tracks as he first approached the scene. And a family living 300 metres away say that their car alarm went off “for the first time in 15 years” just after 5am that morning, with further noises minutes later after they had returned to bed. Police confirm that death took place between 5 - 7am. The post mortem examination
revealed no male DNA, no cuts or bruises indicating physical or sexual attack, and no traces of drugs. Security footage near where Lucia disappeared shows her alone on the station platform before disappearing behind a booth. Six hundred people joined an early hours search following Lucia’s disappearance. The train driver who found her body at first spotted a dark shape by a bend in the line that he thought was an injured animal. However, on his return journey as dawn broke he noticed clothing and made an emergency stop, and then discovered it was a girl’s body.
Saved from killing herself A SUICIDAL woman has been found following reports from relatives that she had left home to kill herself. National Police began the search believing her to be in the vicinity of the Rio Guadalevin and the Tagus gorge. She was later found in shock leaning on a wall overlooking the river by a motorcyclist and claimed to have wanted to kill herself. She was transferred to Ronda Hospital for assessment.
Immigrants jet off A 10-MINUTE Jet Ski trip was worth €10,000 to people smugglers who targeted the beaches of Cadiz and Malaga before they were arrested. According to arresting officers of the National Police, these crafty traffickers were making daily trips from the coast of Morocco carrying two illegal passengers each time who were charged up to €5,000 respectively and endangering their lives. Five have been arrested for people trafficking.

REFORM plans to the Marquis de Larios statue in Malaga were met with strong opposition. The Benlliure foundation guard the legacy of the famous sculptor, Mariano Benlliure, who created the Larios monument in 1899 in opposition to recent council proposals. They claim that a change in orientation would contradict the original project. A vote was taken and the work was approved in order for the environment to gain in quality.

Business owners in Benalmadena, Torremolinos and Mijas are furious that the so-called ‘looky looky’ men are costing them trade. The City Council are working to eradicate the problem but have called for more help from the government.

Strikes at airport put on hold TALKS between airport manager Aena and the security staff unions have been described as “positive” but proposed airport strikes have not been called off. Both Aena and the air navigation manager ENAIRE have agreed that there needs to be increases in wages and staff numbers and have already forwarded plans to Hacienda in order to implement them. They state increased air traffic, which is expected to keep growing over the next few years, as the main reason
more staff is needed. More meetings have been scheduled, one with the secretary of State Transport, Infrastructure and Housing, Julio Gomez-Pomar. Aena has said that dialogue between the unions and its company will always remain open. Although talks continue, security staff who are threatening the strikes are actually employed by private contractors appointed by Aena.

Catalonia mourns SADLY it was bound to happen in Spain at some time, but the terrorist attack in Catalonia certainly grabbed headline news around the world. If there is any consolation coming out of this dreadful sad affair as well as the subsequent knifings in Finland is that these are simply not as organised or as successful as those attacks that took place in 2015 and 2016. As Daesh finds itself being pushed back within Iraq and Syria this appears to be affecting its commander’s ability to recruit organised fighters in Europe and is having to rely on incompetents, some of whom even managed to blow themselves up. One of the very disappointing things about these attacks in Spain is the fact that it appears that all of those involved as well as most of the hundred plus who have been arrested over the past few years have been Moroccan. For many years, Moroccan immigrants have settled within Spain and of course Gibraltar, becoming part of the local communities whilst still holding on to their own heritage, religion and identity. There is now a radical dichotomy between those who want to come to Spain to find what they perceive to be a better life for themselves and their families and those misguided puppets who simply want to eradicate the so-called ‘Crusaders.’

Call the technician By Sean Campbell A NEW trend in robberies has caused police to issue a warning. Criminals have been plaguing Malaga City centre, posing as security system technicians in order to find out what safeguards premises have in place. They will claim to have come for a routine check or to investigate a problem and then return at a later date and sabotage the systems before committing the robberies. Often dressing in legitimate company uniforms and wearing well-made fake identification, they can be very difficult to distinguish from authentic employees. Police warn that the criminal’s main aim is usually to locate the safe but they also note the
placement of security cameras and the type of alarm used. Sometimes they will not visit the premises they intend to rob but the one next door to it with the aim of breaking in through the adjoining wall. Other instances have seen them visit several nearby premises when investigating an area. Three people were recently arrested for this type of crime, two from Madrid and one from Mijas, with stolen items and money between them amounting to more than €1 million. The men posed as staff of a telecommunications company, returning at a later date to shut down security systems and melt their way into the safe using oxy-fuel (a high temperature combustion method normally reserved for welding).

By John Smith WITH all of the negative news about drunken Brits causing mayhem on board flights to Spain, low-cost airline
Monarch hopes to chill passengers out. Whilst at first an announcement from the airline might make readers check to make sure it’s not April 1 but if what
they promise comes to fruition, then perhaps there will be a lot more peaceful and happy travellers in the future. As part of its Year of Nice Campaign, the airline has called in the food psychologist Professor Charles Spence who has advised chef Heston Blumenthal of Fat Duck and snail porridge fame - to create the concept of what they call a ‘Mood Food’ box. The idea is that certain foods are known to relax and re-energise individuals, reducing stress and getting them ready for their holiday or business meeting. Having received the advice from Professor Spence, the airline than approached the master of multisensory gastronomy, chef Jozef Youssef and his team at Kitchen Theory explaining that they needed to help passengers enjoy the whole airline experience.

Whilst nothing can be done about pre-flight stress, the chef recommends prior to take off, immunity boosting echinacea and liquorice ice cream which reduces the symptoms of coughs and colds after arrival at the chosen destination. Soothing and relaxing green tea and lavender mochi rice cakes will relax travellers at take-off as lavender has been proven to enhance relaxation and sleep quality in all ages.
Approximately 30 minutes into the flight, travellers will enjoy a specially created Monarch blend of herbal tea containing chamomile, fennel seed and kelp, ( proven to combat bloating and aid digestion) accompanied by a crunchy, seaweed biscuit, delivering sweet yet salty umami tastes. Finally, just before disembarkation, travellers will indulge in a sweet caramelised nut bar coated in umami rich mushroom and tomato powder to re-energise and awaken the senses as passengers arrive at their destination. Whether those with nut allergies will be happy about the sudden unwrapping of more than 100 nut bars remains to be seen as does the reality of the ‘Mood Food’ box actually appearing on flights to Gibraltar and Malaga. No details of likely cost have been announced as yet although an on-board Bacon Panini currently costs £4.50 (€5).

A MARBELLA car dealer who lost his business after being accused of selling stolen luxury vehicles has been acquitted by a Malaga court.
Italian entrepreneur Claudio Nicoletti was arrested in February 2010 in a series of major police raids known as Operation Picolino, during which more than two dozen people were held. He was charged with trading high-end cars including Mercedes, Aston Martins and Ferraris stolen in other European countries, but after a six-and-a-half-year wait he has been declared innocent. In his final report, defence lawyer Javier Muriel said: “There were searches, arrests that led to temporary jail sentences, dozens of cars and phones seized, and bank accounts frozen for an investigation that was born of a lie, a lie to which neither the prosecution nor the investigating judges held in the slightest doubt, quite the opposite, and believed the police as a matter of faith due to the plethora of evidence submitted.”

The two sides meeting last month.
The next round of Brexit talks are about to start IN anticipation of the next round of Brexit meetings due next week, Britain is in the process of publishing a number of position papers highlighting government hopes. When the parties meet in Brussels, the Minister responsible for Exiting the European Union, David Davis will propose that goods already on the market should be allowed to remain on sale in the UK and EU without additional restrictions and wants to see existing consumer protections remain in place. In addition, he will propose that both sides should continue to keep shared official confi-
dential documents secret in the future. On the face of things, these are both relatively benign requests which the EU should have no problem with but the next paper concerning the European Court of Justice, could be the first of a number of hurdles which could stall talks even at this early stage. Britain is intent on trying to obtain permission to start to negotiate future trade deals prior to Brexit, but the EU has made it very clear that it will not agree to even discuss the possibility until the matters of citizens' rights, the UK's "divorce bill" and the Northern Ireland
border have been resolved. Mr Davis appears confident that this series of position papers will be welcomed by the European Union negotiators and that this should allow talks to progress to what he refers to as the “next stage of talks”. The initial EU response is that the framework for negotiation has been set by the EU27 and they currently have no intention of deviating from that structure, which once again leads back to the three main topics have been settled. Meetings during the next 18 months could be contentious.

DECIMATED: The horror crash killed five.
Caught on the run AN illegal lorry driver who allegedly killed five people in a horror crash was arrested after a week of running from police. As reported in Euro Weekly News (Issue 1675), a lorry
collided with a minibus killing four Spaniards and its Indian driver in south-east India. Another nine Spanish people were injured in the collision. The driver of the lorry fled the scene and has spent seven days on the run before being apprehended 500 kilometres from where the fatal crash took place.
He had no driving licence and is believed to have lost control of the vehicle whilst driving at speed and reaching a sharp bend, crossing onto the incorrect side of the road and colliding with the minibus. The suspect has since been detained and is awaiting trial. Found guilty, he could receive a prison sentence of up to 10 years under Indian law.

Answers being de manded THE mysterious cancellation of a public event has aroused multiple questions. The ‘Birra and Art’ event was cancelled just hours before it was due to start in La Cala, Mijas. Visitors and spectators were left baffled as the crowds who had come to enjoy the celebrations were forced to disperse with no explanation as to why. Councillor of Partido Popular (PP) in Mijas, Jose Manuel Muñoz addressed an open letter to the party responsible for the cancellation demanding answers. He said: “Nobody knows exactly why it was suspended or who gave the order. The bewilderment and lack of information were enormous. The participants and organisers of this event deserve an explanation and in the PP we think, given the scope of this controversial decision, it must be done publicly.”

SILVER MEDAL: Rachelle and Samantha, from the Ibex Gibraltar and Estepona offices, pose alongside the J80 team.
Summer of success IBEX INSURANCE have had a busy summer. The Los Flamingos Golf event was held on July 27 at Los Flamingos Golf. Ibex was the main sponsor of the event which is an annual event organised by Eddie MacLean who publishes the Costa Del Sol Golf News Magazine. Angela (from Ibex Fuengirola), Sam (Ibex Estepona) and Carrie-Ann (Health Insurance Specialist) attended the event. It was a great day of golf even though it was a very hot day. At the end there was a prize ceremony together with a well-deserved cold drink and a plate of paella.
The winning team with 47 points consisted of David Hawthorne and John McKendry, who picked up the Ibex Trophy. On August 13 the Sotogrande Regatta took place. Ibex has been sponsoring the Ibex Marbella team for the last three years and they placed second in the J80 category. The team has finished first or second in most of the regattas it has participated in, with the most impressive perhaps the Copa del Rey Regatta in Palma de Mallorca of which they were runners-up in 2015.
ALTHOUGH in opposition, members of the PSOE on Mijas Council have joined the opposition to the high toll charges on the AP7 during the summer season. The socialist PSOE in Congress denounced the fact that government would not intervene and instruct the toll-road managers to reduce the fee which has risen from €4.55 to €7.35 for the trip from Malaga to Marbella. The Secretary of the Mijas socialists Jose Antonio Gonzalez believes it completely wrong for the various tourist based towns along the coast to welcome visitors with these hiked prices and
also penalise those who have to use the motorway to get to work. He believes that the A7 needs significant improvement to eliminate dangerous black spots on the roads, yet the government has not allocated a single euro to try to improve that road which is particularly dangerous when there is heavy rain. To simply journey from Malaga to Estepona, the cost in the summer (plus Easter and Christmas) is currently €12.35, up from the normal €7.65 and there are reports of newly introduced credit card machines rejecting foreign cards and also overcharging.

ACTION: Delegation of Social Rights aim to help.
Boost for sufferers of self negligence ACTION will be taken to aid against a severe self-neglect disorder.
Sufferers of ‘Diogenes Syndrome’ are described as people who generally live in domestic squalor, withdrawn from society, often hoarding rubbish or animals with no sense of shame. The Delegation of Social Rights in Marbella has stated its desire for such cases to receive intervention in order to help the individuals who have fallen victim to the condition. Almost anyone can become affected by the illness but the elderly are especially at risk. Councillor Victoria Morales said: “We have been detecting situations with people suffering from Diogenes Syndrome where it is difficult to help because it involves addressing the problem in a private environment. This has led us to work on an effective protocol but other
municipal delegations should be involved as well as judicial bodies to end this type of situation.” There are two fundamental areas to this aid. Providing the necessary social resources to support and try to treat sufferers and the second to control these situations from the point of view of protection of public health by identifying and correcting problems in housing, removing accumulated waste as well as undertaking disinfections and insect exterminations when required. New protocols would see concerned relatives or neighbours of the sufferer given the ability to flag up potential warning signs to the relevant authorities which would enable them to formulate an intervention plan before the situation becomes out of control.

Inspection for British schools AS a parent we are all looking forward to the new school year. This is an article about British Schools in Spain which
you may be surprised to hear are highly regulated and monitored that they achieve standards as a school would do if based in the UK. There are still a few schools in Spain that claim to be British that are not inspected by the authorities or have inadequate inspection results that puts them on a slippery slope to closure. We see schools that are closed down and miraculously pop up again a few weeks later. Also, saying that they are moving to grand new premises which never materialise. How do you protect yourself and your children against this? Actually it is simple as all this information is available online. All British Schools in Spain seek approval from their regional education department. British Schools are monitored by the British Council and recent inspection reports can be found on this site https://www.britishcouncil.es/e
n/programmes/education/schoo ls. Without a recommendation for full authorisation the local government will not grant a licence to allow the school to operate. New legislation stipulates that a new school is not allowed to open until it has been inspected. Schools should make their recent inspection report available to you on request. NABSS normally does the inspection on behalf of the British Council. NABSS member schools can be seen on http://www.nabss.org/en/cole gios/. This is an extra protection for families as NABSS has a code of ethics that does not allow members or schools seeking to be members to, mislead families with false information. http://www.nabss.org/en/codi go-etico/ This article is from a personal experience and should be taken as a guide but feel free to visit the sites in this article to verify its accuracy.

rence, Italy. The main focus of the congress was on stimulating young women to choose a STEM education and there was a stimulating programme with powerful speakers, female pioneers
from all over Europe who were a special inspiration for the more than 50 female STEM students present. Estefania was born in Malaga where, from a young age, she loved the sea
and sea life, and has always been keen to learn more about it. Over the years she found out that abuse and pollution is causing many problems for the animals living in the sea and also for peo-
ple who want to enjoy that sea life. The data she is studying could give vital information and clues as to how best protect it. Estefania already has a Masters in Fisheries and Aquaculture: Marine Resources and Sustainability. She is not only a dedicated student, but also an active volunteer working with children, both in Africa and here in Spain. The aim of her PhD project is to study the movements of turtles and whales within the Mediterranean, the consequences of environmental dangers including climate changes and how these sea creatures can be protected. Estefania is looking to publish her research to share her findings with the scientific community.

Using tenants to collect debts Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches
OWNERS are surprised to learn that other owners, despite sometimes renting out th e ir p ro p erty fo r q u ite h a n d s o me p ric e s , a re in debt to the community and wonder why the community
has not instructed their administrator to approach the c ourts a nd e mba rgo the rental income. Needless to say, it is just not tha t e a s y. Firs tly, the court needs to know the tenant’s identity and then follow the correct legal procedure be fore ma king a judgement, once approved, only then can the court conta c t the te na nt a nd orde r them to pay their rent, no longer to the owner in debt but directly to the court, all of which can take considerable time. In fa c t, w ith Spa nis h courts almost at the point of collapse, simple procedural s te ps like this c a n ta ke months a nd a re ofte n a w a s te of time , e s pe c ia lly w ith s hort te rm re nta ls . More often than not the tena nts w ill ha ve move d on a nd ne w one s w ill ha ve move d in a nd the w hole procedure will have to start again from the beginning. Even pursuing long term
rentals can be just as futile. Some te na nts w ill c la im they are only “borrowing” a prope rty a nd not pa ying rent, especially when it is a cash deal, where the landlord has not registered the contract with the Junta de Andalucia and is not paying tax. So although embargoes may sound like a good idea, in reality they are often not. However there is ‘Plan B ’ w he re the te na nts put pressure on their landlords to settle their community fees. If the community decides to restrict the use of the c ommunity pool to those owners and their tena nts w ho ha ve pa id the ir community fees, it follows that those owners - and cons e que ntly the ir te na nts who have not paid their fees can be denied the use of the pool. Although this is very unpopular with tenants and pe rha ps a little unfa ir on holidaymakers with children, it is a very effective w a y of ge tting a n e rra nt
landlord’s attention. Presidents and administrators can not legally just cut off water and electricity or deny debtors and their tenants the use of facilities l i ke com m unal TV or t he pool in order to force the payment of community fees. Unless it is done correctly with the necessary approval of t he com m uni t y et c i t could even be considered a criminal offence. The community needs to first differentiate between essent i al f aci l i t i es; l i f t s, roofs, stairways, electricity, water and non-essential facilities; gardens, swimming pools, paddle tennis courts etc. The community then appr oves a new st at ut e t hat places all non-essential facilities under a sub-section or sub-committee with its own budget and running expenses, who then prohibit any debtors (and their tenants) from using the non-essent i al f aci l i t i es t hat t he
other owners have paid for. Passing a new statute can be difficult, it has to be approved unanimously. That m eans by al l t he owner s, however as the owners in debt cannot vot e and i t woul d be unusual t o vot e against a statute that allows debtors to enjoy communal facilities without paying for them, it is not impossible. There is a twist too, if an owner ( i n debt ) want s t o challenge this situation in court they will have to first settle their community fees in full, as article 18.2 of the Law of Horizontal Property requires all owners to be up to date with their payments before going to court. This action should be undertaken very carefully and in a completely legal way. We recommend communities get proper legal advice bef or e depr i vi ng any debtors and their tenants of the use of the pool but once properly approved it could be quite effective.

THE regional government is expected to rubberstamp an application to enlarge a fish farm off the Villajoyosa coast. Another 12 cages, each with a 38-metre diameter, will be added to the existing 30 cages where sea bass, gilthead bream and corvina are raised. Once the regional government’s permission comes through, those opposed to the scheme will have a month in which to appeal. There is less opposition to this extension than plans for an entirely new installation in front of La Vila’s El Centro beach. This has been challenged not only by Villajoyosa Town Hall and the local fishing guild but national and international archaeologists and academics. A new fish farm would adversely affect the Bou Ferrer wreck, a sunken Roman galley still laden with amphorae and lead ingots. Now a protected archaeological site, this would be rendered “unviable” by another fish farm, the Heritage General Directorate announced.

RESEARCH suggests that up to 60 per cent of Spain’s workforce would be prepared to move overseas to take up a new position should the opportunity arise.

This move towards euro bonds reflects certain investor worries about the US economy and has been exacerbated by the Catalan terrorist attacks.

By John Smith A NEW report suggests that with up to 80 per cent of the Spanish population having access to the internet, e-commerce is about to accelerate dramatically. Currently Amazon Spain is estimated to be the largest internet seller in the country with turnover in excess of €3 trillion, followed surprisingly by Chinese site Alibaba which operates in Spain under the name Aliexpress at just over €1 billion, whilst el Corte Ingles trails in third place at €530 million. As more retailers offer an online purchasing service, so more consumers are purchasing through them but what isn’t known or even understood is how many of these sales would have been made in store and therefore how profitable these sites really are. For small retailers online outlets such as Amazon are without doubt an ideal option as consumers can compare prices and read service reviews. This also becomes an attractive option for larger stores but whilst they benefit from their strength in purchasing in bulk, they have to ensure that their operating costs don’t make them uncompetitive. Stores such as those owned by the Inditex and Mango groups are able to reach customers in areas where shops are spread thinly and they have invested large amounts into ensuring that their sites are quick, efficient and easy to use. Supermarket sites, which are very popular in the UK, are perhaps not so profitable here and appear in some cases to have been introduced for the sake of having an online site rather than actually planning them out properly. The Mercadona group is a perfect example as it has had to be redesigned and responsibility for this has been handed to the founder’s

youngest daughter Juana Roig, but the results suggest Mercadona is well ahead of its competitors with growing purchases online. Having said this, it is estimated that total turnover is somewhere between €170 million and €190 million which is just 1 per cent of annual turnover and this division currently trades at a loss. Conversely however, customers tend to buy larger amounts of goods than they would in store in order to justify the delivery and handling charges. Those with an eye for a bargain however have discovered that some (although not all) sites outside Spain will deliver via couriers, often free of charge, so it is possible to purchase perfume from the UK, costume jewellery from Germany or even clothing from Debenhams online with substantial savings over Spanish retail prices.
AMERICANS BEEF UP MARKET
Repsol share forecasts Photo Credit: YouTube
Huge growth for burger chains A SIMPLE piece of minced beef in a bun is fuelling a whole new revolution in the fast food market in Spain. For generations, the vast majority of restaurants and food outlets in Spain sold traditional Spanish food and to a great extent older generations of Spaniards have remained loyal to this cuisine. As with so many other European countries however, the American way of eating started to spread and by the middle of the 1980s, both Burger King and McDonald’s were firmly entrenched in the Spanish psyche. The concept of this type of fast food spawned a number of local eateries such as Vip although other American food outlets including KFC and Friday’s promoted the opening of franchise operations around the country. The two big burger giants saw off the presence of Wendy’s American burgers but are now facing an onslaught of beefy competition. In many towns, local, un-franchised burger restaurants with names like Gourmet Burger and American Burger have opened up. These offer a burger ex-

Having seen the success of McDonald’s with its 500 branches and Burger King with 700, at least three US chains have now decided that the time has come to expand their empires within Spain. Although not household names in Europe, Steak ‘N Shake with 544 outlets in the USA, Five Guys with 700 and Carl’s Jr leading the way with 1,385 have started to test the Spanish waters by opening restaurants in some
ALTHOUGH it is nearly 50 years since the Beatles split up, they are still the most collected group worldwide with a page of lyrics likely to sell for €20,000. This is the amount expected to be paid in auction in September for Paul McCartney’s handwritten score of Eleanor Rigby which has been signed by the ‘fifth Beatle,’ producer, the late Sir George Martin. This is believed to be a piece handed to one of the backing octet consisting of violins, violas and cellos who helped record the original version of the song. Coincidentally, a bible owned by Eleanor Rigby whose name on a gravestone inspired the song - has just been found and is also included in the auction.

of the main cities in Spain. Clearly if these are successful then there is likely to be a massive expansion especially in areas with shopping centres where each of these operations would fit in well. One of the problems that the existing companies running burger outlets may face is the cost of franchising as it appears that the ‘new boys on the block’ are prepared to undercut McDonald’s and Burger King with lower start-up costs in order to gain a speedy increase in market share.

Angry at Lufthansa support
EWN online Join the conversation on our Facebook page
Ryanair eyes on expanding German business. insolvency has obviously been set up so that Lufthansa can take over a debt-free Air Berlin and this is contrary to all competition rules of Germany and the EU.” In accordance with this belief, the company has filed a complaint with the German Federal Cartel Office as well
as with the EU Competition Commission. Ryanair which has been trying to increase the number of airports in Germany from which it can operate suggests that the demise of Air Berlin and take-over of ‘cheap aircraft’ by Lufthansa will reduce competition and see higher fares on routes which were previously run on a competitive basis. The German government rejects all of Ryanair’s accusations but the European Commission decision may play an important part in seeing how matters progress in the German market which is so important to Lufthansa. Unions at Eurowings, a low cost carrier which is a subsidiary of Lufthansa also criticise the deal, believing that it will allow the German parent to take over Air Berlin staff on terms which are potentially worse than those who work for the company. Cabin crew are now considering whether it would be appropriate to take strike action in support of their pay claims which have coincidentally broken down recently.

RYANAIR ACCUSES GERMAN GOVERNMENT OF CARVE UP
ACCUSATIONS are flying across borders as one of the main carriers of German tourists to Spain applies for liquidation. Air Berlin which was the largest carrier serving the Balearics and Mallorca in particular was supported for some time by Abu Dhabi-based airline Etihad but with their financial backing withdrawn, the airline can’t continue. It has already passed some of its routes to former subsidiary Austrian airline Niki (originally founded by Formula 1 driver Niki Lauda) and now with a €150 million grant from the German government, it hopes to continue to fly until it is taken over by Lufthansa. This support has infuriated Ryanair which is currently the second largest operator in Mallorca and the Irish company has accused the German airlines and government of what it calls ‘a carve up’ which will be to the advantage of Lufthansa. In a statement, a spokesperson for Ryanair said “This artificially created

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.

I truly am very fed up with being told to call a spade a fork THIS latest travesty, which resulted in the resignation of MP Sarah Champion is a glaring example. Ms Champion had the ‘nerve’ to state that Pakistani men were targeting white British girls for sexual exploitation. In the light of the recent evidence and subsequent prosecutions, to most minds the only thing this MP was guilty of was stating the blatantly obvious. Naturally the Corbyn’ites didn’t agree. The first priority in the forming of a dictatorial state is the suppression of free speech. It is therefore no surprise that Corbyn cynically forced out one of his own, perfectly capable party members purely for speaking the truth. (A statement which also wouldn’t of course win his party many future ethnic votes!) Freedom of expression is at the very core of a democratic society. To suppress it results in frustration, social unrest and ultimately, without that valve of non-physical release, violence. We have to be able

Sounds like a lot of money Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man THIS week I’m going to mention again a certain airline that, if you don’t pay extra to select a seat, will make sure that you and your travelling companion do not sit together. A friend of mine called Bill, who is much wiser and smarter than I, has come up with a solution that he has tried and which has worked and I’m going to pass it on to you. Even if it doesn’t work I’d have to try it. Here we go. When you get on the plane don’t stress take your allocated seat, which will most likely be a middle seat, because that’s how they punish you. Then when everyone is seated get up and go to your partner, wherever they are sitting, and say to them, ‘How you feeling?’ Then produce a sick bag or even a carrier bag and say, ‘Look make sure when you throw up, that you get it all in the bag.’ By now the people each side are going to be looking a bit uncomfortable and usually, if they are travelling alone, one will say, ‘Would you like to sit here?’ because no one wants to sit next to someone who is going to

That’s right, £50 million has already been spent. How? Where? Please explain to me how this happens. Someone has made a nice few quid out of this and it’s scandalous. And how about that HS2 train network. It’s going to add 350 miles of new track all at the knock down price of £55 billion - that’s £157,142, 857.1428571 per mile. Now that sounds like a lot of money to me. All that to cut an hour off your journey time to get to Manchester. I’ll tell you what spend the money on hospitals and health and let all the punters for the fast train get up an hour earlier. And don’t be under any illusion - the first bits of snow or rain or a few dodgy leaves on the line and it will all grind to a halt and, of course, you just know it will run over budget too.

DON’T FORGET: The necessary documentation to have in your car.
A COMMON question that often crops up for drivers in Spain is what documents must be carried in the car with you. Here the N-332 team have the answers... The ITV card This is the official document which relates to the technical inspection of the vehicle. ITV report Once your vehicle is four years old it is required to have the mandatory ITV test and the report which states what happened during the inspection and confirms it is road worthy, and it must be carried in the vehicle. Permiso de Circulacion The Permiso de Circulacion is similar to a log book for a vehicle and contains information such as the number plate, vehicle owner and other details relating to the vehicle. There are also some other documents which are not compulsory, but it is advisable that you carry them with you. These include:
Insurance policy This is not compulsory as all the information is contained on a central computer, however, if you are involved in an accident you will need to know your policy details so it is easier to have them to hand. European Accident Agreement Again, this is not compulsory, but it is advisable to carry the European Accident form as it will help you ensure data is recorded correctly in the event of an incident. The forms are available in a number of languages but are all laid out the same so it bridges any language gaps. Copies of your Suma annual tax which is paid to municipal town halls is also not compulsory. Remember that the documents you carry must be the originals, not photocopies. Notarised copies are allowed, but this is the only exception.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Angus Sylvie
“It’s a vicious circus” I HAVE a relative who regularly creates sentences that sound fine in her head but when they emerge from her mouth contain unintended or mixed-up words that can either render the sentence meaningless or amusing, or both. Here are some examples. She once finished an argument with what she triumphantly thought was the decisive question “How would you like it if the foot was on the other shoe?” which had the unintended consequence of causing the object of her anger to collapse in fits of laughter. After complaining of a pain in her wrist, she announced “I think I’ve got repetitive arm syndrome.” She wanted to listen to her radio so asked “Do you mind if I put my headstones on?” We were watching some football. Bored, she asked “is it half-term yet?” Yes, she meant half-time. Recounting a debt collection documentary she had watched, she announced “In the end they had to send the bayleaves round!” TV programmes do not escape her verbal mangling. Keen to catch a comedy TV show, she said “I need to get home so I can watch Have I Been Framed For You.” Then there was the time I was trying to end a phone call so I could watch World’s Strongest Man. She guessed this and said “I suppose you want to watch The World’s Biggest Man now?” which would be a very short programme as all you would need are some scales and a tape measure. Why is it that some people’s brains work like this and don’t seem to learn from their mistakes? Indeed my relative feels that the more mistakes she makes, the worse she gets.

fault. Other than, occasionally, someone’s own clumsiness. The whiplash industry and its successor, the holiday enteritis industry, form part of the UK’s ever growing compensation culture where companies actively try to encourage people to make bogus claims. And you don’t need to have been in any sort of accident - car crash scammers call at random. I’ve written about this before. About British travel agents said to operate an annual £1m fighting fund to cope with huge personal injury payouts to ‘aggrieved’ holidaymakers. About teaching staff securing major compensation for minor accidents and likewise illegal immigrants for ‘unlawful detention’ while awaiting deportation. I’ve said this before as well but I’ll say it again anyway the UK’s thriving compensation culture is not only still keeping the door wide open for all these claimants but continuing to carry them over the threshold too. Solution? Make it harder for those keen to exploit the system for profit at the slightest excuse. Enough to drive the rest of us crazy! Which reminds me of a joke.

Tourist quality, not quantity TOO much tourism in Spain seems to be focused around attracting cheap and cheerful! This is clearly displayed with the recent Ryanair ban (EWN Issue 1676) on passengers on certain routes (including to Ibiza) boarding flights with dutyfree drinks in their baggage. It must go into the hold, or be left . And the boozy antics do not just stop on landing, nor are they merely a reflection of younger tourists. Too many visiting Spain put cheap alcohol as a major foundation to their holidays, often leading to bad public behaviour including rowdiness and at times even violence. Millions of tourists are well-behaved, but I am in favour of any moves for the ones who fly in for a boozy holiday to be brought to heel! Quality not just quantity must be the way forward.
THE article about the risk of summer wild fires (Issue 1675) was timely. How sad that we annually have to not only face up to, but equally deal with wild fires that at times (as highlighted) lead to the loss of life and end in people losing their homes, and at times livelihoods. Some fires are accidental, but so many are through stupid and at times criminal behaviour with individuals holding summer BBQs in risk areas , discarded cigarettes, and burning of garden waste, As a retired UK fireman, I appeal to all... take responsibility and help Spain face up to the harsh fact of summer.

I CONSTANTLY see new housing developments being started at a time when thousands of properties remain empty, and unsold. Each slice of land that offers potential sea views continues to be built on, despite such clear and crass planning decisions in recent decades leading to much of southern Spain looking like concrete jungles in parts. Ravaged and savaged, sadly so much of what was so beautiful in our surrounds - along with the annual weather - has been spoiled for ever. With the recession over the construction industry is facing better times, but the national government should keep a close check on the number of plans approved for more new holiday and residential homes against the need to sell and fill the thousands of remaining empty ones.

Kally SORRY but do I think the fact that those residents that lived in the tower block mainly consisted of non-white British citizens is relevant, The local councils are not making any effort to integrate the immigrants within Britain today and as a result of these actions by the councils we have far too many areas now within cities that could be classed as ghettos or no go areas.

Two wildfires on the Costa del Sol INFOCA are fantastic, we watch often when there are numerous fires especially at this time of year, as we can see into the valley and their response time is incredible. Well done lads. Ken Clarke
Police kill five bomb vest attackers RIP to all victims that lost their lives. Sincere condolences to the families and we have to pay tribute to security services
for the hard work they do in preventing attacks. We know there will always be attacks we are not prepared for and sadly there will be casualties and we were made aware Europe and holiday spots would be targeted earlier on in the year. Why scumbags want to harm others is beyond me and beggars belief they are now using vehicles to attack
Elizabeth Green LARGE towns and cities need concrete bollards to be placed alongside the road and pedestrianised streets should be blocked off to traffic. Emergency vehicles can enter by way of a gate which will open only by the driver of police, ambulance, fire brigade swiping a card. My family were in Zaragoza two weeks ago and the ease in which a terrorist could drive a car around the Pilar where hundreds of people were walking around was frightening. Michael Hearne
Bathers harass dolphin to death THEY should be at least fined, I personally would put them in prison for a couple of months or more and see how they like that. They are complete morons.
S Wardman, Elche
Need answers WHAT a laugh when Grenville Tower fire victims in Kensington, London, actually turn down alternative council accommodation saying 15 minutes walk away from their homes is too far. Have they become spoiled living in such a high-class area? But whose idea was it in the first place to build council homes in such a wealthy zone of London... and why so little information about the innocent deep freeze said to have caused the fire outbreak? There are so many questions for the planned inquiry to find answers to. Name and address supplied
Singled out I WAS dismissed like a dog when I tried to rent a sunbed in Fuengirola because I was single. They only accepted couples. Can the Spanish do what they want? What’s next that single people are denied; perhaps no service at restaurants because they want to fill up the table? Visiting as a single lady from Norway, I once experienced that too during winter time with no guests in sight.

Safe bet IT’S a sobering thought that last summer brought attacks on our doorstep including the tragic Bastille Day in Nice, Istanbul Ataturk Airport and this season we have already experienced the indiscriminate attacks at London Bridge and Manchester, and now Las Ramblas and Cambrils. Our hearts go out to all those effected by these atrocities. Despite the ongoing threat of these indiscriminate assaults, the consistent theme that binds us together is our determination to carry on enjoying what life has to offer and maintaining our characteristic resilience in the face of adversity. So for those shortly heading off on their travels, or to see family and friends this summer, how do we protect ourselves against these unsavoury manifestations of today? In truth, nowhere is completely risk free, however, you can review the latest travel advice to make an informed choice about your next destination by checking the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)
NO MANS FORT: Has now been converted into a unique luxury hotel that you reach by boat.
Christina Sharp GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL christina@globelink.co.uk.
website, www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice. Earlier this summer the Met Police also issued safety advice in the unlikely event that you are caught up in an incident. Their mantra is ‘Run, Hide, Tell.’ View their short video by visiting www.npcc.police.uk. On the assumption that you are a savvy traveller and purchase Travel Insurance, make sure your policy provides financial protection in the event of conflict, or terror attacks breaking out where you are booked to travel. Some policies don’t provide this
cover, whereas Globelink Comprehensive policies provide essential financial protection as standard. If you are venturing to the UK this summer, what could be safer than staying in a sea fort, or a castle? My two great tips, if you fancy treating yourself to a luxury hotel getaway are No Mans Fort in the Solent, originally a sea fort, built between 1865 and 1880, it’s now been converted into a unique, luxury hotel that you reach by boat. Or Thornbury Castle in the Cotswolds, England’s only Tudor Castle Hotel constructed 500 years ago with previous guests including Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and Mary I. Both offer a truly luxury, unique experience where you can get away from it all. Finally, thanks for the great Travel Tips
you have emailed Globelink already! Our favourites: • Rhonda Kimberley: Pour a few drops of tea tree oil on to a cotton hankie and inhale from time to time to ward off germs (especially useful on a long haul flight with recycled air and the risk of infection). • Sally Phillips: Always carry a couple of days worth of your prescription medication in your hand luggage, just in case your luggage goes astray.

IN anticipation of the building of new sports and cultural facilities at Europa Point, government workmen have started to clear the tunnels that run underneath the area. By all accounts there is a very large amount of general debris, concrete and bricks to be removed and after recent scandals of fly-tipping in Spain they will need to find a safe site for the rubbish.
REPRESENTATIVES of the government and the Gibraltar Health Authority joined forces with the local Hearing Loss Association to remind residents of the dangers of hearing loss. Experts were out in force in the Piazza to point out that deafness is not just a problem experienced by the elderly but can be selfinflicted. Loud music and noise at work can cause problems.
AFTER having been suspended for a period of time due to the high catch rate, the Blue Fin tuna season returned with a vengeance. According to the Gibraltar Chronicle, just 10 fishermen have so far landed 9.3 tons of the fish even though 955 licences were issued by the government. With just over two tons left to be caught, it looks as if the season will finish early.

Power cut DESPITE the installation of the new power station, many of the sub-stations around Gibraltar are old and a fire in one on Governor’s Parade caused power cuts. Part of Main Street was without power for several hours leaving shops, bars and restaurants in the ‘dark’ until the early evening.

THE temperature reached a balmy 28 degrees down at Ocean Village last weekend, but that did not deter the enthusiastic sailors from taking part in the RAOB/Ocean Village Charity Cardboard Boat Race. Minister for Sport Steven Linares and Miss Gibraltar 2017, Jodie Garcia were in attendance with her first and second princesses, Tessa Britto and Sian Dean. A record 19 boats registered for the race, including six children’s entries with clear winners for best boat design being Hawaii Five UhOh a beautiful Hawaiian inspired boat, complete with cardboard shark. The festivities continued over the two days with other marina activities and rides offered to the public including kayaking, waterzorbing, stand-up paddle boarding, and HM Customs were also on hand providing speed boat rides up

PERHAPS to the disappointment of those with expensive cameras and years of practice, the winning photograph in the Our Gibraltar competition was taken by Karina Sanchez using a smartphone. Organised as part of the National Day celebrations, the entries can be viewed at the John Mackintosh Hall until September 8.

By John Smith THE people of Gibraltar stood side by side with Catalonia in the wake of the recent attacks on Barcelona and Cambrils. As news emerged of the tragic events, the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo sent messages of solidarity and support to the victims, their families and to the city of Barcelona. He wrote to the President of the Catalan regional government, Carles Puigdemont, to the mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, and to the Spanish Minister of the interior, Juan Zoido, in order to convey the heartfelt condolences of the People of Gibraltar. Gibraltar stood shoulder to shoulder with Catalonia in observing a one-minute silence as a mark of remembrance and of respect for the victims. As a mark of respect and of defiance, the flags were lowered on public buildings and the lights on national monuments, the Moorish Castle and

That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude.

Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities. .
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone needs to learn to stand on their own two feet. It isn’t you, but it’s close. Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done. You may break into a sweat this week and it won’t suit your nerves, but you’ll get through.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take? If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy? On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you still be happy? Keep things simple. You know where you are.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves. Get that expert even if it costs a few pennies.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. Enjoy the feeling, the praise and the satisfaction. .
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?

Fiestas and Siestas Miles Apart, is a humorous look at what happens to the C u t h b e r t s o n f a m i l y, A l a n and Heather along with daughters, Stacey and Ashlie, when they decide to sell everything, (including the family stationery business) load the family car and move from England to Spain. Unfortunately, halfway through the process, the girls have other ideas and take off on their own adventure across Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. The naivety of the, unstreet wise pair, is shown in the e-mails and texts received by their parents, who themselves, are finding Spanish life a very steep learning curve.

Is too much TV affecting your health? IS binge-watching your favourite TV shows affecting your sleep? With an increase in the popularity of being able to watch several episodes of TV shows in one go through internet streaming and the likes of Netflix, it can have a negative effect on your health compared to watching TV for shorter periods of time. Researchers at the University of Michigan in the USA and the Leuven School for Mass Communication Research in Belgium found that binge-viewing can lead to poorer sleep quality and increased insomnia. They surveyed over 400 adults between the ages of 18 to 25 about their TV habits in the past month to learn about how this affected their sleep quality, insomnia and fatigue. The study found that 81 per cent had bingewatched and 28 per cent did so more than once and 7 per cent admitted they did it nearly every day. Men were found to do it less but when they did their viewing sessions were al-

most double those of women. Researchers said that many shows are created to entice the viewer to want to continue watching the next episode and with this, many get absorbed into the show delaying their sleep and affecting their natural sleep pattern. Other studies have shown that binge-watching can have other numerous effects. Researchers from the University of Queensland found that it led to a lower muscle strength in participants who watched a lot of TV in one go and another study from the University of Toledo found watching two or more hours of television a day was linked to higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute in Michigan said that those who watch more than three-and-a-half hours of television a day are at a higher risk of cancer and heart disease.

Hyaluronic acid is a component in your body I RECEIVE many consultations regarding hyaluronic acid and its application in the aesthetics industry. It is fantastic to get rid of wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally in our body, specifically in organs, skin tissue and cartilages. As we become older, the substance level drops. It is proven that at the age of 50, we have half the amount we had at birth. What are the consequences of the loss of hyaluronic acid? Lack of firmness, wrinkles and skin ageing. As it has the capacity to retain and capture water, it makes it interesting, when used as an aesthetic treatment. Amongst the results achieved when applying hyaluronic acid I emphasise on the following: • Smoother skin • Less wrinkles • To reduce the lines of expression Hyaluronic Acid treatments This technique has been used since the 90’s via injection. Don’t be scared, it doesn’t hurt. Thanks to hyaluronic acid you will be able to return your skin back to its natural volume. It is perfect to correct the signs of ageing… you will look

and feel younger straight after the first session! The areas where I recommend to treatment are: • Contour of the lips • Around the mouth • Around the eyes • Mesotherapy: applied around all the face, as it will irradiate luminosity. More about Hyaluronic Acid treatments It is essential to know that only specialised doctors are authorised to provide this treatment. Results always depend on the precision in which the acid is injected, as well as the quality of the product and the patient’s metabolism. This treatment is very simple and fast. After the session, you can go home, and continue with life as normal, as no anaesthesia nor surgical procedure is needed. The effects can be seen immediately due to the substance replacing that one which already existed in our body but has been lost over time. You might have more sensitivity, irritation or redness following treatment, but this will all subside within days. Have you decided then when to start your non-invasive treatment and improve the look of your skin?

Stay safe this summer TANNING is a natural mechanism of skin protection from the sun’s harmful rays with sunburns caused by excessive exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays. Whilst they may appear to be only a temporary irritation, they can actually cause lifelong damage, due to the ‘memory’ of the skin. The American Skin Cancer Foundation says that the most vulnerable are children and those who suffer from blisters caused by sunburn in childhood or adolescence have double the risk and chances of developing melanoma later. The Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) adds that a person’s risk of developing melanoma also doubles if they have five or more burns during their lifetime as melanomas are as-
Incentives no good STRUGGLING to find the motivation to get to the gym? It seems even being paid won’t get people to break a sweat every day. Researchers said that adults who signed up for a new gym membership made just the equivalent of seven extra sessions on the treadmill each year with the promise of financial rewards. The findings have led the authors of the study at the Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, USA, to conclude that perhaps the best way to get people to go is to leave them alone. Their findings come after an Australian study warned that going to the gym could give you body dysmorphia with those exposed to muscle-bound bodies in the gym distorting people’s body perceptions.
SKIN DAMAGE: Exposure to strong sunlight can cause lasting damage to skin. sociated with intermittent and very intense exposures to the sun. The AEDV explains that sunburns take place because the ‘ultraviolet B’ radiation causes a lesion of the epider-
mal cells. This can be in the form of redness or the appearance of blisters, which would be a classed as a second degree burn. When treating these burns there are a number of tips to advise on the best skin care: Hydrate both inside and out. Drink plenty of water and
also treat the burn with calming products such as aloe vera and store in the fridge for an even better cooling sensation. In the case of serious burns, a doctor may prescribe s o m e t h i n g stronger to help reduce inflammation and ease the pain. Avoid the sun. Following serious sunburn avoid further exposure. Wear clothes with natural fibres to avoid further irritation to the skin, particularly at bed time when sunburn pain can become more prevalent. But the AEDV advises prevention is always better than cure and you should always wear a high protection sunscreen and if your cream is lasting the whole summer you are not using enough of it.

Kids’ migraines - can be tricky to identify IT’S not just adults who get migraines - up to 10 per cent of kids get migraines too. But identifying them and treating them can be tricky. Kids’ Migraine Symptoms One of the tricky things about kids is they don’t get migraines the same way that adults do. In fact, many kids don’t even get head pain with migraine. • Vomiting or stomach pain • Car sickness can be associated with migraine • Episodes of dizziness • Vomiting for no reason • Sensitivity to light and noise • Lethargy • Disturbed vision • Head pain will affect the entire head rather than one side. How to treat Rest. Any physical activity can make the attack much worse. A 15-minute nap (if you can con-

vince them!) will help as well. Routine is key - regular light exercise, regular sleep patterns, regular eating to prevent blood sugar dips and peaks - these will all help reduce frequency and severity of attacks. Common triggers • Sleep - too much or too lit-
tle. Regular bedtimes and getting up times can help • Dehydration - a big one here in hot, sunny Spain • Diet - just like adults some children have a food trigger • Lack of food • Stress - does your child get worse before exams or big events? Medication doesn’t help A recent American study looked at whether two common adult medications, amitriptyline and topiramate were effective in children. There were some rather shocking results: • Placebo (sugar pills) were nearly 10 per cent more effective. • The trial had to be stopped due to the severe side effects in some children - fatigue, dry mouth, tingling in their hands or feet. Also suicidal thoughts and severe depression.
In fact, due to this study the FDA are reviewing whether either of these drugs can be considered safe for children. Top tips • Keep a headache diary to identify triggers and patterns • Watch for early signs of an attack and encourage your child to tell you if they feel ‘funny’ as quickly as possible so you can help. • Common misdiagnosis are: eye problems, sinus problems or allergies • Get a proper review and diagnosis by a specialist.

Bowel cancer deaths fall
LOWER FIGURES: Early diagnosis is improving bowel cancer prognosis.
THE number of people dying from bowel cancer in the UK has fallen more than 30 per cent in the last 20 years. A c cording to new figures from Cancer Research UK in 1995 the disease caused 38 deaths per 100,000 people which fell to 26 deaths per 100,000 people by 2015, with experts believing better treatment is behind the drop along with better awareness and bowel
screening with early diagnosis crucial for survival. However, despite the figures, bowel cancer is still the second most common cause of cancer death in the UK. Both men and women have an almost equal risk of developing bowel cancer and it usually occurs in those aged over 60. The latest figures show that 8,613 men and 7,152 women died from it in 2015, but if caught early there is a strong chance of survival. There are some main symptoms which if any are present for a continual period, you should seek medical advice; first, if you regularly have blood in stools; a persistent change in toilet habits, lower abdominal pain and bloating and unexplained weight loss. UK residents aged between 60 and 74 are invited to have bowel cancer screening every two years to check for signs.

Sea urchins
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. WH AT are sea urchins? Sea urchins are some of the strangest animals known due t o t hei r physical characteristics. Starting from the Echinodea f am i l y, t he sea urchin has been around for more than 200 million years. Where are they usually found? They ar e usual l y f ound on t he sea bed, cl ose t o coast l i nes. Bat her s t end t o f i nd t hem af t er t hey have trodden on one of their spines. They can live up to 2,500 metres below sea level and are usually found in between rocks and crevices. Is t hei r st i ng dangerous? Sea urchins are cover ed i n l arge, shar p spi nes and ar e som etimes venomous. Touching or treading on them is usually very painful as they tend to break off and become lodged in a person’s skin. This can
lead to chronic pain and swelling if they are not removed. They can also cause pain in a person’s muscles and eruptions on the skin. H ow can you t reat their sting? A sea ur chi n st i ng needs t o be r em oved i m m edi at el y. Vi negar dissolves most spines, and washing or bathing t he ar ea i n i t shoul d usual l y be enough t o treat the area unless it has gone deep into the skin. For lodged spines, surgery may be necessary. Soaking the area in warm water will alleviate the pain. Sometimes anti-inflammatories, analgesics and antihistamines are also needed to manage symptoms. Shoul d you seek medical aid if you are stung? Whenever you ar e st ung by a sea ur chi n you must go to the nearest m edi cal cent r e so they can assess the situation.

Things I hate - or don’t like very much

I learned that you don’t take dishes from the table to the dishwasher; you have to rinse them first. I think that’s stupid because I don’t go out in the back yard and hose off before taking a shower. Bill Engvall
GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS WITH
GARRY WAITE I T HOUT s o u n d in g to o much like my esteemed cocontributor Mike Senker, I want to have a bit of a moan. There are certain bits of equipment that I found annoying and pointless. I have never been a lover of dishwashers. The domestic version I mean. We couldn’t do without them commercially - but in the home? I accept that, not being a family man, there is normally only one or two of us contributing to dirty c u t l e r y a n d c r o ck ery in my household so it is no hard task to wash by hand and of course saves piling the machine daily until you have sufficient to turn on a machine that is going to take hours to complete to say nothing of water and electric consumption! The only time that there would be more is if I hold the occasional dinner party, but even then I tend to try and wash up as I go. It must date back to w hen t h e se m a c h i n e s firs t b ec a me popula r. I f I r e m e m ber rig h tly o n e used to have to swill plates etc before putting t h e m i n t h e m ac h in e . T h is seemed a double whammy as far a s I w as c o n cerned . I f you are g o ing to d o t h a t , y o u may as well wash the stuff in the first place and be done with it. This brings me to the first positive in my washing up regime. I am blessed with a drainer above my sink that is behind closed doors. Wash, rinse, put up - dry in 10 minutes, put away (or in my case leave it there for as long as I want or until I need it!) Clean, tidy and very effective. I used to have a next door neighbour who, when having a dinner party, put all her dishes etc in the em p t y o v e n u n t i l s h e co u ld b e bothered to put them in - yes you’ve guessed it - the dishwasher! Before I get to a couple of items that I have in my kitchen that I would not do wit h o u t , I wi l l m e n tio n my tw o

My kind of dishwasher.
On a positive side I HAVE three pieces of equipment in my kitchen that are without doubt some of the least recognised labour saving devices ever invented. Remember grating cheese and having to clean the cheese from all those horrible little holes. Or mashing potatoes with the usual masher and having to rid the piece of equipment of its stuck-on potato. Or even sharpening a knife? There are many new methods that are available now, but my Father always did his sharpening on a stone, and I, a ‘steel’! But let me tell you dear reader, I have the most amazing cheese grater, probably 40 years old. It is made with Teflon. It just swills off! A potato masher, about the same age, with the same coating - same thing, warm soapy water and its off!! As for the knife sharpener, a hand held V-shaped device which you place on your counter top and run your knife through it - and Voila! Keep your dishwasher - look for real labour saving devices!
A waste of hot air. biggest hates which are not linked to the kitchen or food. The Leaf Blower and the Strimmer. The noise of the latter drives me to distraction especially at 8.00 in the morning when our gardeners decide to ramp up the damn thing!! But the blower? Not only does it make a helluva noise I really don’t see the point! Living on a golf course it would appear to be one of the green keeper’s favourite machines. The noise it makes belies its inefficiency. Imagine a fairway full of autumn leaves?
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.

DESPITE talks of Brexit, recessions, double dips et al m o r e than 7,500 hotel bedrooms opened in the UK during the first half of 2017 - the highest figure for the first six months of the year since 2012. The number of openings is also 40 per cent higher when compared to the same period last year, according to the Q2 2017 Hotel Bulletin.

Damp in Spanish homes copes with around 45,000 gallons of rain water annually and as many homes are old or not constructed with damp proofing, it can become a problem.

Elegant gardens with little effort
An exceptional example of the art of Espalier. GRAEME TYRRELL THERE are so many different opportunities to garden in the Mediterranean that the keen gardener may find that they don’t have enough space for all the plants they would like to have growing. Nothing tastes better than fresh fruit from your own garden but of course a fruit tree can take up a lot of space and usually has more fruit than necessary when mature.
PERMACULTURE EDUCATION SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Telephone: 666 33 33 35 info@permamed.org http://permamed.org/
Fruit trees are therefore often a lower priority in the garden unless you have a big garden area and the time to maintain it. A proficient gardener doesn’t let this drive him up the wall though, instead he will train the fruit trees or other space taking ornamental plants up the wall using the art of espalier. Espalier makes a tree twodimensional by training it to grow against a wall or support by selectively pruning all but the desired branches to form the pattern required to fit the space selected for it to grow. The tree is allowed to grow up and across but not out from the wall. It is an ancient garden art form used by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans that has been well used in Europe for centuries. It requires some skill and understanding of the nature of the trees’ growth patterns and of pruning so you may need to do some research but it is worth the effort to be able to grow trees in this way. As the trees are more controlled, fruit trees often have bigger and better fruit than standard trees as the energy from the roots is supplied to fewer fruits. Unless you obtain a tree already prepared to be planted as an espalier, you will need to start with a maiden tree of a
year old with no side branching or with branching in the appropriate places. This is to ensure it will have branching that aligns with the supports provided on the wall or structure they are to grow on. Typically the central trunk will have branching growing horizontally on both sides at the same height and there would be three to five such branching from the trunk at about 30 - 40 cm distance apart up the trunk. Branches need to be tied to the wall or support wires to maintain the integrity of the design for supporting the weight, including the fruit and the direction of growth. Some trees do not grow naturally to this typical form due to excessive branch forming so it may be necessary to create a fan shape with branches spreading out from the truck at different angles or other design forms that may be suitable to allow the tree to grow two-dimensionally. This is where research and imagination are required to form a suitable pattern for the trees natural growth thus making it an art form. It will take more time and planning to get a plant established but once the form is developed it can be less work to maintain than a standard tree and it will display the skills of a proficient gardener.

David The Dogman
DOG foods do vary in quality. So do the companies that make the foods. To some companies quality is only a word. To others, it’s a way of life many include rice which has no value whatsoever. Ultimately, the quality of a dog food is best measured by your dog. How your dog performs on the food, how he looks, feels and acts are the best measures of the quality of any food. At least 80 per cent of my clients that report behavioural problems find a change of food changes the unwanted behaviour. No matter what a food company claims unless your dog has bright eyes, silky hair and supple skin, and is not overweight, then the food is not right for him. Not all dogs do well on a particular brand of food some dogs simply do better than others. Most foods are categorised as Economy, Regular, Premium, Super Premium and Performance. Regular and Premium foods
are not formulated like a Super Premium or Performance food. Dogs have simple stomachs and short digestive tracts for digesting meat. They also lack the saliva enzyme amylase, which is necessary for pre-digesting starch. Dogs have adapted to foods with high vegetable protein levels, however they perform better when fed foods high in meat protein and animal fats. Checking the label of a Super Premium or Performance food an animal protein will be listed as the first or second major ingredient. These should include either chicken, or turkey meat, or poultry by-products meals, meat or pork meals or other animal by-products. A least two sources of fat or oil should be included for adequate energy and essential fatty acids. Fat in food is the dog’s source of energy. Animal fat contains essential and non-essential fatty acids as well as provides a highly digestible and easily metabolised energy source. Generally, poultry, turkey or chicken fat are higher in quality because they have more unsaturated fatty acids and are more digestible than animal tallow. Vegetable oils, such as soybean oil, lecithin corn oil, wheat germ oil, sesame seed oil or linseed oil all contain high levels of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid for dogs. These should be combined with animal fats for the best long-term results of a glossy hair-coat and soft pliable skin. Carbohydrates are the third most important nutrient and ingredient

class in modern Super Premium and Performance foods. Simple carbohydrates in dog food come from quality sources like rice, oatmeal, corn or wheat. These are easily digested when properly cooked. Fibre, a complex carbohydrate is essential for proper digestion and stool formation. Beet pulp and tomato promace are both high in fibre. Other sources of fibre include rice, soy hulls, oat hulls, wheat bran and peanut hulls. All these come from the external portion of the seed coat. These sources except peanut hulls have microscopic sharp edges, which can cause small cuts in the intestine. This reduces the intestine’s effectiveness in nutrient digestion. Peanut hulls on the other hand, have the potential of being contaminated with aflatoxins and should never be used in a quality dog or cat food. Vitamin and mineral fortification is an absolute necessity in nutritionally balancing any food for dogs. While the vitamins and minerals generally, make up less than 2 per cent of the total food by weight, they provide some of the most crucial nutrients. These include 12 to 16 vitamins and 15 to 25 minerals. Often the list of these micro nutrients is much longer than the list of major ingredients. Expect this list in all dog foods. Super Premium usually feature more than one source for each vitamin and mineral. The ingredient list will be longer compared to non-premium foods. It is not recommended that you add anything by way of food supplement, or vitamin to Super Premium Foods.
Caring for koi carp in an unsold property
IDEAL SOLUTION: HousesitMatch can look after pond animals. MANY homeowners find an unexpected challenge when they leave one property unsold moving to their new home. What happens to the empty property and more importantly, what happens to the koi carp you’ve nurtured for years? Often, they are a feature of the property in an ornamental pond and need feeding on a daily basis until the house is sold. Having house-sitters move in to keep the koi carp well-fed and alive can serve another purpose. The house-sitters can also keep your home visibly occupied, insured and safe from unwanted intruders.
Our checked house-sitters will follow your instructions as part of their brief, whether you need them for a short term house-sit or long term. Many home-owners with a large property awaiting prospective buyers will find house-sitters through HouseSitMatch to keep their home safe. We help you to prepare that brief by providing you with guidelines and templates and check lists to ensure you have a good brief ready for the sitters. Feel free to call me directly if you have a special requirement and we can try to help. Lamia’s mobile telephone +44(0)7772 142742.
Do you need a house or pet-sitter? Get in touch. House-sitting can be a win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting, and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation! Register as either a house-sitter or homeowner now with a 20 per cent off introductory offer using coupon code PERFECT20. To find a house or pet-sitter go to www.housesitmatch.com or call Lamia on 00 44 (0) 777 214 2742.
Taking in a stray ONE of the many things British people in Spain will automatically apprehend is that stray cats and dogs seem to be more of a normal sight. The problem is of course intensified by the lack of services and financial support available to the dedicated shelters across Spain which prevents early neutering and excessive breeding of more feral felines. The belief seems to be a stray cat will undoubtedly be feral and therefore impossible to tame. This is not strictly the case. Stray cats can make wonderful pets and even with a tendency towards more ‘wild’ behaviours, there are solutions. Taming a more feral stray cat is no easy feat and patience is re-
quired. After making sure the physical needs are dealt with (vaccinations, registration, chipping and neutering), the next stage is developing trust. Gloves may be an essential at first as stray cats can be fearful and bite or scratch in self-defence. To create security for the cat, the house should become its home little by little by designating areas to it and giving it its own corner, bed or feeding space. Don’t worry if the cat decides to hide frequently or doesn’t always show great affection. This will come with time. Food and treats will help the cat trust its new owner and see them as a friend instead of a threat and con-
sistency here is truly the key. To prevent further straying, keep the cat inside for a longer period and make sure it knows where its best interests are by offering it a good life and loving environment.

Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736.

Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeon line.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes.

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.

Pebble Beach classics on fire by Matthew Elliott STEVE MCQUEEN’S old Porsche was among five cars sold for more than €10 million at the classic Pebble Beach auction in California last weekend. His 1970-built 917K was used in the legend’s race film Le Mans and became the most expensive Porsche ever sold, going for around €15 million. With the cash still rolling in, an estimated €250 million worth of classic cars were flogged at one of the globe’s hottest auctions.

To hammer that point home the world’s only street-legal BMW M1 Procar, produced in 1979, was spotted lounging around the luxurious golf course. There were also eight cars and motorbikes from the collection of music legend J Geils, who passed away recently.
Among them were a 1967 Lancia Flamina with a 3.0 litre V12 engine and a Fiat Dino Spyder from the same year, both in mint condition. His 1983 Benelli 900 SEI and 1970 Ducati 350 Demo were also up for grabs. Over the weekend 18 Porsches, 10 Aston Martins and 29 Ferraris were sold. Aside from the five valued at over €10 million, another 89 cars secured bids surpassing the €1 million mark.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher
Lexus IS300h LEXUS is not at all modest about its latest IS 300h model, describing it as ‘the most efficient sports saloon available today.’ Hard-headed motoring journalists like to challenge such sweeping statements, but in this instance, it is difficult to dispute. The hybrid Lexus IS competes against more mainstream compact executive saloons such as the Audi A4, Jaguar XE, Mercedes C Class and BMW 3 Series but not all are available in comparable hybrid form and those that are tend to cost more or offer less standard kit. The IS 300h - also available in non-hybrid turbo-petrol form - is priced from €33,065 (£30,105) and comes with distinctive styling, is laden with equipment, beautifully built and finished. Its driving experience is quick and quiet and the only minor downside is perhaps that it is so refined, it is not as exciting to drive than some of its rivals. But then the Lexus scores highly for relatively low running costs - 23.2 kpl (65.7 mpg) and very low emissions. The car has potent styling - the deep gaping grille and narrow headlights make rivals such as the Jaguar XE appear quite muted - and its performance figures underpin its sporty look with 0-100 kph in 8.4 seconds, top speed 201 kph (125 mph). The 2.5 litre petrol engine offers 178 hp boosted to 220 hp by an electric motor, and with a revised chassis and slightly firmer suspension, the overall result is smooth rapid progress with seamless multi-mode CVT gearshifts
LEXUS IS 300H: Has a strong business-user appeal.
Stats panel Model: Lexus IS 300h Luxury Nav Engine: 2.5 litre petrol/ electric hybrid Transmission: electric CVT auto Performance: 0- 100 kph 8.4 seconds, top speed 201 kph (125 mph) Economy: 23.2 kpl (65.7 mpg) Emissions: 101 g/km and composed handling. The cabin has a luxury look which suggests it might belong to a class above, and the seating is exceptionally comfortable. The dashboard looks less conventional than most, with stepped styling dominated by a big 26cm (10.3 inch) screen. There’s good head and leg room front
and rear and the 430 litre boot capacity is good given that some space has been sacrificed to accommodate the hybrid batteries. A useful feature on this saloon is split-fold rear seats which means longer items too large for a normal boot can still be loaded. Standard equipment on the test model (€38,853 - £35,375) includes keyless entry and push-button start, dual zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors and rear view camera, alloy wheels, LED lights, leather upholstery, DAB radio/CD, Bluetooth and USB ports. My test model also had Premium sat-nav with remote computer-mouse style control. The Lexus IS 300 hybrid is a refined executive express with strong businessuser appeal thanks to its low operating costs and strong residual values.
Model tested is UK-specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.

Classic Car Club of Andalucia HILST the heat of August seems to continue relentlessly, it hasn’t deterred members of the Classic C a r C l u b o f A n d a lu cia from h a v i n g f u n a n d en jo y in g their classic cars! The monthly club night was enjoyed by many at Treetops restaurante at El Chaparral Golf club with dinner served on the beautiful terrace there with views out over the Med. It made for a super atmosphere and a most convivial evening. Non members are welcome to attend the monthly dinner which is held, always, on the first Tuesday of the month. The following Saturday saw Club members getting their classic cars out to enjoy the monthly Club classic car run. A large contingent of around 30 cars and over 60 people turned out at the Restaurante Los Brocales, near Torremolinos, for what was promised to be a short run. Considering the heat, and th a t so m a n y m e mb e rs a re away in August, this was considered a very good turnout. First time organiser, Claudia Langer, had done a great job of putting everything together for the

Cars departed Los Borocales at 12 noon, an hour later than usual, in deference to the heat and the short distance involved. After a gentle, and short, run westwards on the A 7 th e ro u te w e nt pa s t El Higueron and took the back road to Mijas. Skirting the pueblo and heading out on the Alhaurin road an optional coffee stop was put in at Venta Los Condes just above Valtocado. The route then turned opposite the venta and went steep downhill through Valtocado, enjoying some stunning views on the way. From there a short dash down the main road towards, and into, Entrerrios where the cars then turned up towards La Cala Hills. It wasn’t long before another coffee and beer stop was enjoyed at La Cala Resort golf club. From here the crews headed over the top of La Mairena before descending towards Elviria and in-
Coming Soon:
-9AS always, the CCCA has plenty happening in the coming weeks and months. The Club reaches the ripe old age of nine years young next month and there will be special commemorative events taking place to celebrate this. There will be a party and dinner at Treetops, El Chaparral, on the first Tuesday of September and there will be a special classic car run followed by a party at Avanto beach Club on Saturday, September 9. The fabulous Memphis Trio have already been booked for the Saturday afternoon party. More details on that will be in our next page in two weeks’ time.

Antonio, the proprietor of Meson del Pueblo, provided everyone with refreshing drinks on arrival, canapés and then a superb lunch with three excellent courses, wines, beers, waters and coffee and all for only €30 per pers on fully inc lus ive . This marvellous restaurante, which Antonio has owned and run for 27 years, is most certainly now on the Club’s recommended list! Claudia Langer was congratulated by all for doing such a good job, particularly as it was the first time for he r a nd s he did it a ll alone, and for giving everyone such an enjoyable day out in the warm sunshine.

INSURANCE for classic cars is something that I am asked about a lot, by CCCA members and nonmembers alike. To be considered for classic car insurance a car does not necessarily have to be 25 years old. Although it varies from one insurance company to another, many will grant these policies to owners of cars that are older than 20 ye a rs. Ther e ar e al so som e companies that will provide low mileage insurances to those vehicles that are over 15 years old. Classic car insurance policies are usually very inexpensive but they come with an agreed annual mileage limit. Basic insurance policies for classics can be had for
as little as €110 but, for comprehensive policies with an agreed replacement value, these are a lot more expensive although still outstanding value when compared with policies for modern cars both in the UK and Spain. To qualify for these insurances one must be a member of a classic car club. And there is only one to consider in Spain…!! CCCA President, Ian Giles, has negotiated special terms and policies for members of the CCCA with a specialist classic car broker in Madrid. This company will give year-round classic car policies for most European registered cars, certainly UK cars, without problem. Members can contact Ian for more information. As there are some companies here that one needs to steer clear of, he will also tell you who NOT to insure with…..
Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

The result is a course which presents a challenge for the experienced golfer and is a real test of skills for beginners. The course requires accurate play, especially in some tight tee shots where you may have to forego distance in your drive and opt instead for shorter irons or woods which ensure that the ball reaches the fairway. Hole 8 is especially tricky, as it is a long par 5, with a tight dog-
leg towards the right which slopes sharply downhill to the green, and a hazardous out-of-bounds area finishing in a stream at the entrance to the green. Therefore, this is a demanding course which requires a calculated game, and where you cannot afford to take many risks if you want to make your handicap.

THE VUELTA A ESPAÑA returns to the Costa del Sol next Thursday. Four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome is currently setting the pace after retaining the red leader’s jersey in yesterday’s stage five from Benicassim to Alcossebre in Valencia. The British rider is aiming to become the first man to win both the Tour and Vuelta in a single season since the latter was moved to August and September from April in 1995. Chris Froome is among the favourites to be heading a dramatic entrance into the Costa del Sol after reigning champion Nairo Quintana declined the opportunity to compete this year, while Spanish legend Alberto Contador has been suffering from stomach problems during the early stages of the race. Next Thursday will see the riders take on the 160-kilometre stage 12 from Motril to Los Dolmenes in Antequera, starting from 1.15pm. The stage initially takes a flattish route the Costa Tropical via Nerja (2.23pm), Torrox Playa (2.35pm), and Torre del Mar (2.55pm) before heading into the Montes de Malaga at Rincon de la Victoria (3.20pm)

La Vuelta a España: Update Goodbye Rooney
RED JERSEY: Chris Froome is the current leader. The riders are likely to face sizzling conditions as they pass through the Cordilleras Beticas before continuing towards Sevilla.
GOAL-SCORING recordbreaker, Wayne Rooney has shocked England and the world by announcing his retirement from international football this week. The Everton striker recently rejected the offer to participate in next month’s World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovakia. The former Three Lions captain rejected a recall from Gareth Southgate and told news outlets: “It was great that Gareth Southgate called me this week to tell me he wanted me back in the England squad. “However, having already thought long and hard, I told Gareth that I had now decided to retire for good from international football.” The 31-year-old is Eng-
land’s most capped outfield player having appeared 119 times and is the country’s all-time top goal scorer with 53. Rooney started out as an 18-year-old at Euro 2004. His last international appearance was made last November during the 3-0 victory over Scotland at Wembley, but in the summer he rejoined Everton to score his 200th premier league goal in a draw at Manchester City. He quoted that this was a chance to “focus on Everton,” his boyhood club rather than to enter back into the international football domain. He will be missed by many avid supporters yet Rooney assures that he will stay close to England, supporting players to become as successful as he has been.
