Highgration THE arrival of 532,483 immigrants saw the Spanish population rise by more than 130,000 to exceed 46,650,000 in 2017, according to the National Statistics Institute, with the number of foreign arrivals highest since 2008.

By Matt Ford AN Irish getaway driver jailed for 22 years over his role in a gangland hit will serve time in one of Spain’s most notorious prisons. James Quinn, 35, received the sentence after being found guilty of taking part in the murder of 34-year-old drug lord Gary Hutch at a gated community in Miraflores, near Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. And after 22 months in isolation at Alhaurin de la Torre prison he has now been transferred to the infamous Botafuegos lock-up in Algeciras, Cadiz. The facility houses some of the country’s most dangerous prisoners and has been described as ‘dangerously overcrowded,’ with more than 1,800 inmates occupying 1,072 cells and workers’ unions warning of staff shortages. It comes after state prosecutors demanded a 25-year prison term for the killing plus three years for an illegal weapons rap. But judge Ernesto Carlos Manzano ruled in a 15-page document he will instead serve 20 years for the September 2015 execution since he was not the assassin and previously had

22 years for hit Irishman sent to infamous prison
‘DANGEROUSLY OVERCROWDED’: James Quinn has been sent to Botafuegos prison in Algeciras. a clean record in Spain. The father-of-one was initially accused of donning a balaclava and lying in wait for more than two hours before shooting the victim 15 times during a chase around a swimming pool, including twice in the head at point-blank range. The jury forewoman said that while they were unable to con-
clude Quinn was the shooter, a baseball cap with his DNA on it found in a BMW X3 stolen from Mijas and later found torched near Marbella proved him to be a ‘necessary participant’ in the murder. And the nine-person jury ruled unanimously that he took part in the brutal attack after Jose Barba, prosecuting, offered a last-minute ‘option B’ indictment that he could have acted as a lookout and getaway driver. In his ruling the judge said Quinn must cover the court costs and pay the victim’s relatives €90,000 in compensation, describing the murder as “execrable.” He added: “Other circumstances need to be taken into account in terms of the crime and the man convicted of it such as the fact he had no previous convictions in Spain and he has not been convicted as the direct ma-
terial author of the crime.” Defence lawyer Pedro Apalategui is expected to appeal the sentence after he earlier said: “We completely disagree with the verdict and will definitely be appealing once we know the sentence.” Quinn was arrested in September 2016 when his DNA was found on one of two caps recovered from the burnt out car after undercover detectives snatched a bottle of water he drank from on a high-speed train while he was under surveillance. He had earlier in the trial broken a two-year silence to insist that he was lying hung-over in bed with a prostitute when the assassination took place. The brutal hit on September 24, 2015 triggered a feud between rival crime families that has claimed at least 15 lives in Ireland and Spain.

Fowl play suspected
THE BIG PICTURE Nº 20
A 77-YEAR-OLD Spanish pensioner has been held in San Pedro de Alcantara on suspicion of killing his neighbour’s six chickens by feeding them rat poison. He told detectives that the birds’ incessant clucking had “sent him over the edge after he was unable to sleep for weeks,” a police statement said.
Heat is on THE mercury is set to soar beyond 32°C on the Costa del Sol from today (Thursday). The scorching conditions will be sparked as the hot, dry inland wind known locally as terral sweeps the area, with the heatwave to last until at least the weekend, according to national weather office AEMET.
All dancing MALAGA City’s iconic shopping street Calle Larios is to see a Guinness World Record attempt at 12pm this Sunday, when the Andalucian Flamenco School will bid to get more than 4,000 people dancing the traditional Spanish style simultaneously to smash the current best of 3,665 set in Madrid’s Plaza de Colon in 2017.
What a dope GUARDIA CIVIL traffic officers have been hailed after stopping a van when they noticed it ‘driving in a dithering manner’ near Estepona. When they flagged down and opened the vehicle, a twotonne haul of high-grade Moroccan hashish was found inside and immediately cuffed the motorist who has already appeared in court.

WATER DISGRACE: Much of the plastic, seen here on the Costa del Sol, washes into the sea before it is cleaned.
The last straw THE state of Spain’s beaches in the wake of the annual Noche de San Juan celebrations has sparked outrage. Green activist group Ecologists In Action spoke out about the ‘environmental neglect’ in a stinging statement, while Greenpeace called the situation a ‘disaster.’ It comes after many local councils reported that more plastic, glass and other rubbish was left behind by revellers than during last year’s party. Taking place on the weekend closest to Midsummer ’s Eve, the event sees hundreds of thousands of
Spaniards head to the beach, building hogueras, or bonfires, and eating dancing and drinking before the traditional midnight dip in the sea. But the hordes tend to leave behind tonnes of rubbish, much of which washes into the water before cleaning crews move in the next day. And after this year’s fiesta, 40 tonnes of waste was removed from sandy strips in Malaga City alone, with 15 tonnes in Marbella, 20 tonnes in Barcelona, 19 tonnes in Valencia, 18 tonnes in Elche and more than 12 tonnes in Palma de Mallorca.

FIGHT FOR THE TRUTH: Ines Madrigal today, with her adoptive mother and (inset) Dr Eduardo Vela.
‘Stolen babies’ case AN 85-year-old doctor has become the first person to stand trial in Spain’s decades-old ‘stolen babies’ scandal. Gynaecologist Dr Eduardo Vela appeared in a Madrid court over his alleged involvement in a criminal network which is believed to have seen hundreds of thousands of babies taken from their mothers and sold under the regime of dictator Francisco Franco. He worked at the Spanish capital’s San Ramon clinic and is accused of separating Ines Madrigal, 49, from her birth mother in 1969. She was given to a 46-year-old woman alongside a forged birth certificate, and the doctor faces an 11year jail term for illegal detention, falsifying official documents and certifying a non-existent birth. Madrigal’s adopted parent told her the truth when she turned 18, and the railway employee has since become president of the SOS Stolen Babies Association in Murcia. Vela had tried to block the start of the hearing until the last moment, citing ill health, but his appeal was overturned by a doctor. And when quizzed he replied “I don’t know, I can’t remember,” apparently struggling to hear the questions put to him. He denied handing over the baby and said the
signature on the forged birth certificate was not his despite previously admitting it was. The practice of baby theft began after the Spanish Civil War ended in 1939 and continued until after the former leader’s death in 1975. Children were taken from families considered to be Republican - those who supported the government overthrown by Franco’s Nationalists after a military rebellion - and handed to others supporting the fascists. Single or working class mothers, or women with ‘degenerate’ political views were the typical victims. The trafficking remained largely out of the public eye until two men, Antonio Barroso and Juan Luis Moreno, revealed in 2011 how a priest from Zaragoza sold them to their respective fathers. They formed an association to help victims, who they believes number up to 300,000. Madrigal had earlier said she does not expect the trial to serve up the answers she has spent three decades searching for, but hopes it will trigger the reopening of thousands of closed cases. In 2013 Maria Gomez Valbuena, an 87-year-old nun who worked with Vela at the clinic, died just before she was due to appear in court. The verdict on the Vela trial is expected today (Thursday).

Murder suspect held
OUR VIEW The die is cast
» From Front page A SERBIAN murder suspect has been held on a European Arrest Warrant in Fuengirola. The 45-year-old from the northern city of Zrenjanin is wanted in connection with the killing of a jeweller in Berlin, Germany. He was held while in the act of pawning fake gold items at a pawn shop in the town popular with British expatriates and holidaymakers, National Police investigators confirmed in a statement. After trying to identify himself with faked Romanian documentation, he was held and charged with fraud, forgery and civil crimes. In his car officers found more fake jewellery, and he is suspected of employing the scam to rake in around €7,000 since arriving to Spain. But once he had been quizzed by detectives at the local station his true identity was revealed, with an active international warrant issued in his name. According to German authorities, he is one of two men who masterminded an armed robbery during which an employee was gunned down. He is to be transferred to Madrid for a hearing at the capital’s National High Court ahead of his likely extradition, according to reports.

BLOOMING HECK: The phenomenon is caused by bioluminescent plankton.
Orange flash! BAFFLED beachgoers have been reassured after the sea turned bright orange. It comes after the ‘red tides’ phenomenon swept the Costa del Sol, sparking panic among bathers. But the bizarre episode is a harmless natural event, according to Antonio Flores, a botany professor at the University of Malaga. He explained that the garish swathes of colour are caused by blooms of tiny plankton called dinoflagellates which typically swarm offshore as sea temper-
atures rise at the start of summer. The water can also appear brown due to similar explosions in another group of minute marine critters called diatoms. Dr Flores explained that the latest red tide was formed by the species Noctiluca scintillans, dubbed the ‘sea sparkle,’ since it produces bright blue bioluminescence. “The bloom normally disappears quickly as it’s broken up by the waves,” he added.
JUST a few days more than two years after the Brexit Referendum vote was announced, the Queen has given royal assent to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act. Tory Brexiteers cheered as Speaker of the House John Bercow announced the decision which also allows for EU law to become UK law and which will allow the government to ‘dump’ any piece of EU legislation that it doesn’t want to keep. If the Referendum split the United Kingdom in mainly geographical sections with much of the South, Northern Ireland and Scotland (plus Gibraltar) wanting to remain in the Union, it also saw a major split within the political parties and also between the Houses of Commons and Lords. More than 100 hours of debate took place in Parliament and the Lords endeavoured to make 15 changes to the legislation but in the end Prime Minister May managed to ensure that her minority government won the day without any significant defections. In the weeks leading up to the final decision to transfer the 12,000 EU laws into British Law there has been much external debate about the financial wisdom of gaining ‘independence’ with both Airbus Industries and BMW indicating that they would be likely to move production outside of the UK if they are not convinced that the agreement with the EU will be beneficial. The border between Northern Ireland and Eire is still a major bone of contention and should Britain make a ‘hard’ exit or indeed be unable to agree terms with the EU, the future for those of us living or in business in Spain must be unsure.

He became nationally famous for his hospital breakout, which was triggered by his arrest after he crashed while trying to flee a National Police control with a female
mule on the back of his moped. He wounded a leg in the accident and was taken to see a doctor ahead of questioning by detectives before his associates swooped to free him. In March, two of those who participated in the surprise attack were jailed, with one caught while carrying €200,000 in cash.
Tejon was then remanded in custody after 100 officers surrounded his home, with his brother Francisco thought to be the only leader of the socalled ‘Los Castaña’ clan still at large. Investigators believe the gang has at least €30 million cash hidden in secret underground bunkers in the Campo de Gibraltar area.
The arrest of Tejon has sparked unrest in the notorious San Bernardo neighbourhood of La Linea, and a fortnight ago Molotov cocktails were thrown at two police cars on patrol before a group of around 300 people demonstrated to demand less police presence in the area. After the latest arrests, a Guardia Civil officer told Spanish media: “There is total silence, let’s see how the neighbourhood responds. “Almost everyone is hiding, they have gone underground. “Many people don’t want Los Castaña to fall because the drug trade provides work in the area. “But others are happy because they say that there are no real jobs here because of their cockiness and attacks on the police.”

Migrants move on Transfers begin amid calls for state aid centre due to rules stating they cannot be held longer than 72 hours.
It comes as Malaga City Council officials said they were in need of help to deal with the number of arrivals. The first of the migrants arrived last Saturday, meaning the deadline to free them lapsed on Tuesday. Volunteers from the Red Cross have since arranged for their passage to other parts of Spain. Around 100 people made their way to waiting coaches at
the centre from noon that day. Red Cross workers and other officials have reportedly assigned them to different buses depending on where they wanted to go or if they wanted to travel to other parts of Europe. A further 50 left at 2pm while 80 were referred to the Spanish Commission for Refugee Air due to them requesting asylum.

€12m boost AFTER suffering financial loss from the fraud committed in the much publicised ‘Malaya Case’ the Marbella Council has received compensation in the sum of €12 million to use for services and public facilities in the city. At one time it appeared that all of the money and assets recovered from the convicted Juan Antonio Roca would be passed directly to the Spanish government and used to pay tax and social security debts, but a ruling by the court in 2013 concerning the use of recovered funds from the case gave the council the opportunity

‘BLATANT RACISM’: Online commenters flocked to slam the stunt.
‘Looky looky’ outrage Brit holidaymaker’s getup sparks fury By Staff Reporter A BRITISH holidaymaker has sparked outrage after ‘blacking up’ to dress like an African street vendor during an Ibiza bar crawl. Video footage posted on social media shows the unidentified reveller clutching a rack of cheap sunglasses and wearing a multi-coloured parasol hat as he parodies the well-known ‘looky looky’ men. He is also wearing tracksuit bottoms, a colourful shirt featuring flamingos and has a purple monkey toy draped round his neck.
Groups of young male onlookers laugh and chant ‘looky looky’ at him, before a real vendor is called over, who even poses smiling with the partygoer. But the man’s costume triggered a slew of furious responses online, with many users claiming his behaviour amounts to racism. Simone Adele Brathwaite wrote: ‘So racist. He could’ve done this without having to do black face.’ Paul McEvoy added: ‘What is going on here? Can nobody see this clear is racism and insensitive yet everyone is tagging their friends thinking it's
funny?’ ‘Glad this is a minority of small minded people and not a true representation of society (I’d like to think). In a state of shock at how low people will stoop.’ Fayo Ibidapo commented: ‘You need to check yourselves. This is unacceptable.’ Others were less critical of the stunt, with many sharing the clip. It comes after The Apprentice star Lord Alan Sugar was last week forced into a humiliating climb-down after comparing the Senegalese World Cup football squad to ‘beach salesmen in Marbella.’

Brits held as coke seized at sea
BUSTED: Drugs found aboard the SY Pepper Sauce and (inset) officers search SY Oggi. A MAN from Cornwall faces prosecution in Spain after more than three tonnes of cocaine were seized in two Atlantic Ocean drugs busts. Both swoops involved the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA), which worked alongside investigators from the Spanish National Police, air force and customs to intercept the 40-foot Britishflagged yacht SY Pepper Sauce around 200NM off the Canary Islands. The vessel had arrived from South America, and 61 bales of cocaine weighing 1,850 kilos were discovered on board during a search in Gran Canaria. An unnamed man from Newquay, 42, was among the crew which also included two French sailors. A day later the NCA accompanied Portuguese Judicial Police plus the country’s navy and air force to head off the British Virgin Islands-registered yacht SY Oggi near the Azores as it sailed from the Caribbean. Around 1,400 kilos of cocaine was hidden in the craft’s structure, with a 38-year-old British man from Torquay held alongside Dutch and

Croation nationals. The seizures came after joint probes by the UK’s National Maritime Intelligence Centre and Portugal’s Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre. Ian Cruxton, the NCA’s head of international operations, said: “These two operations have prevented around three tonnes of cocaine from reaching Europe. At UK street prices that equates to hundreds of millions of pounds worth. “There is no doubt in my mind that a good proportion of this cocaine would likely have ended up here in the UK fuelling criminality, exploitation and violence on our streets. “Operations like this demonstrate again how vital the close working relationships with our European partners are, and I congratulate our Spanish and Portuguese partners on their work to intercept these consignments. “Our ability to quickly share intelligence has resulted in two significant class A seizures, and allowed us to protect the public both in the UK and in mainland Europe.”

Summer strike threat RYANAIR is set to face one of its largest cabin crew strikes to date with some 5,000 workers threatening to down the tools this summer across Europe. Should the low-cost airline not reach a deal, they face a maximum three-day strike which would affect an estimated 115,000 passengers a day as 1,800 cabin crew members strike in Spain alone. Belgium, Portugal, Germany and Holland are all expected to join the strikes over Ryanair following each country’s labour laws. Despite reaching a deal, UK cabin crews have said they would support downing the tools. The airline has until Saturday to reach an agreement with the unions, who have said they would give a longer than required notice to strike, meaning they could cause chaos during peak dates at the end of July or the start of August.

Family hope Gran could be in UK this week By Matt Ford A FUNDRAISING campaign launched to help a British grandmother fighting for her life after she collapsed while celebrating her 70th birthday in Mallorca has smashed its target. Carol Tweedy from Blakelaw, Newcastle upon Tyne fell ill three days after jetting to the island for a weeklong break with her family including partner Bryan Harding, electrician son Michael Tweedy and daughter Sarah Burleigh, a schoolteacher. But she lost consciousness in their hotel lobby on May 29 and was taken to hospital after being given first aid by medics. Doctors first diagnosed her with pneumonia before she suffered a stroke and bleeding on the brain. She remains in intensive care, but her family are keen to
fly her back to Tyneside with her children having stayed by her side since the incident. They told local media their insurance firm Alpha Travel Insurance claimed representatives are checking out Carol’s medical records, but no flight home or sum of money has yet been mentioned. But a Gofundme online campaign set up to help the family raise £15,500 to fly her home on an air ambulance soared past its target within three days. And if Carol remains stable she could be home by the end of the week. Michael’s partner Debra Hodgson, from Wallsend in Newcastle, said: “We just want to say how absolutely blown away and overwhelmed we are by the kindness people have shown - it’s really hit our hearts. “We don’t know the people
donating but they have been so kind. We just want to say thank you. “Carol has to be stable for another few days before we can fly her home so, we’re just waiting for a further few days for her to hopefully carry on being stable and then we will be able to arrange for her to be flown by air ambulance by the end of the this week. “We didn’t expect to raise so much so quickly, we thought we might raise a couple of grand, if we were lucky, so we were unsure when we get her home. “But, for this amount to be raised in under three days, is just brilliant and we can start making plans.” Debra explained Michael is likely to fly back with Carol in the ambulance while Bryan and Sarah travel separately on a normal flight.

Oscar Medina, the town’s mayor, official-
ly presented the display to the public last Tuesday. He said the umbrella installations previously put up had become a ‘great red flag’ to coincide with the football tournament currently taking place in Russia. “This new display shows our eagerness to offer our support to the Spanish team,” he said. The mayor added officials hoped the display, which costs some €20,000 a year to install, would attract more visitors to Torrox.
told the family the best thing would be to transfer her to a British hospital where she can be near friends and family. An official from Emergency Assistance Facilities speaking on behalf of Alpha Travel Insurance earlier said: “We are aware of Mrs Tweedy’s admission to a hospital in Spain and understand this is a distressing time for her family. “This is a complex case and we will not make any decisions that in the opinion of our travel and aviation medical specialists could add further complications to Mrs Tweedy’s recovery or general health. “We appreciate that Mrs Tweedy’s friends and family are keen for her to return to the UK which we will fully support at a time that is medically appropriate. We never put our customers in situations which could lead to unnecessary risk.”

Outrage over release ‘UNFORTUNATE’: Restoration compared to the infamous ‘Ecce Homo Monkey Christ’ debacle.
Paint George Amateur restoration slammed by Matt Ford
OUTCRY: Rallies were held in cities across Spain last Friday.
By Joe Gerrard DEMONSTRATORS took to the streets of cities across Spain following a Navarra court’s decision to release five men imprisoned for sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in Pamplona. Marches were organised in Madrid, Granada, Malaga, Sevilla, Cordoba, Murcia, Cartagena, Cadiz, Almeria, Zaragoza, Valencia and elsewhere on Friday. Protests previously erupted in Pamplona and Barcelona following the ruling, according to reports. The government in Madrid has responded to the outcry over the ruling by saying it would look into changing laws covering sex crimes. The Prime Minister’s official
residence of La Moncloa said on Twitter: “The government respects the judge’s decision but it echoes the public outcry and works for the protection of women.” Government officials have said they will also consider putting on gender training for judges and allowing women claiming to be victims of sex attacks to receive state help in trials. The Navarra court ruled the five men, found guilty earlier this year of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in Pamplona, be provisionally released from prison. The group, known as La Manada or The Wolfpack, had to post a €6,000 bond to secure their release. Jose Angel Prenda, Alfonso Cabezuelo, Antonio Manuel
Guerrero, Jesus Escudero and Angel Boza will also be required to appear before court on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. They are barred from entering the Madrid region where the victim lives. The court said the fact the men lived more than 500 kilometres away from the victim meant their release could be justified. The court added that the social outcry surrounding the gang was not a sufficient reason to keep them in prison. Judge Jose Francisco Cobo voted against the move saying the men should be kept in prison to ensure the security, stability and tranquillity of the victim. Three of the men were serving their sentences in Pamplona
prison and two were in the military prison of Alcala de Henares in Madrid. A previous ruling acquitting them of rape, but finding them guilty of the lesser offence of sexual assault, triggered rallies across Spain. The court heard during the original trial that the men, part of a Whatsapp group named ‘La Manada’, met the 18-yearold during Pamplona’s San Fermin festival in 2016. Prosecutors told the court they led her to the basement of an apartment block in the city where they assaulted her and filmed it on their mobile phones. The woman was later found in the street by passers-by before the attack was reported to police.
THE botched restoration of a priceless 16th-century St George statue has sparked outrage in Spain. It comes after a priest at the San Miguel church in Estella, Navarre, asked a local school teacher to give a wooden effigy of the saint a fresh coat of paint. But the attempt has left the armoured hero with a rosy pink face and garish red-and-grey suit of armour, and the result has triggered comparisons with the infamous ‘Ecce Homo Monkey Christ’ painting. The statue shows San Jorge - as he is known in parts of northern Spain fighting the dragon atop a horse, but parish authorities reportedly thought it needed freshening up and approached a local handicrafts teacher, named locally as Carmen, to take the job on. And her efforts sent social media into meltdown
after being unveiled this week, with the saint compared to cartoon characters, including Tintin, and British comic Marty Feldman. Fernando Segovia tweeted: ‘Make no mistake, Estella’s Saint George is Stingy from Lazy Town.’ Kolo Leoz, mayor of Estella, is now demanding to know why the council was not consulted before the project was agreed, describing the restoration as ‘unfortunate.’ He continued: “If they had involved us, our heritage department would have liaised with the regional government and got advice over the best way of handling the restoration.” Regional head of cultural affairs, Ana Herrera, said she may fine the church, adding: “The restoration project should have been presented to the authorities first, and they should have waited to get the green light.”

New Ryanair base at Southend POPULAR Irish low-cost airline Ryanair has announced it will open a new base at London Southend, from April 2019, using three new aircraft (an investment of €257 million) and 13 routes. Although flights will go to eight different countries, Spain is well looked after with five weekly flights to both Alicante and Malaga, four to Palma Mallorca and two to Reus (Tarragona). The decision to introduce these new routes has been made partly because of the delays on deciding about the third runway for Heathrow and the fact that Southend has a huge catchment area. In addition, this will see direct competition between the airline and rival easyJet which also operates out of the Southend airport. Ryanair’s Chief Commer-

Hasta be tops Spanish on rise in the UK by Joe Gerrard SPANISH is due to become the most studied language by English school pupils as exam entries continue to rise while those for others falls, a report has claimed. The British Council’s study found uptake for Spanish GCSE and A-Level qualifications has grown to some 7,600 entries since 1997. It is expected to become the leading foreign language in school classrooms if current rates continue, according to the data. More pupils will take Spanish as a GCSE by 2025 than other languages on offer while it will lead in ALevels by 2020. The number of students opting to take A-Level French has fallen to 8,300 from 21,300 in 1997 while those sitting German exams now stands at around 3,300. Vicky Gough, an advisor
at the British Council, said a perception of Spanish being easier than others and the country’s popularity as a holiday destination could be behind the trend. “The fact it is the most popular holiday destination for Brits means young people can imagine having a chance to use it,” she said. Spanish has bucked a trend of overall decline in the take up of foreign languages in English schools. Those in the field are concerned Britain’s upcoming withdrawal from the European Union (EU) could be speeding up a decades-long trend. Around 34 per cent of state secondary schools felt there was a negative impact on the desire of students to study languages following the vote to leave the EU. Uptake on A-Level French is down by almost a third while that of German is down by 37 per cent.

by Matt Ford SPAIN has launched a crackdown on ruthless Armenian and Georgian mobsters after armed police swooped on 73 addresses across the country with more than 140 suspects held. The mafia-style gang is accused of robbery, extortion, arms, drug and tobacco smuggling, bribery, forgery, funnelling dirty money in and out of the country and rigging sports matches. Investigators said in a statement that the raids had seen arrests in Alicante, Valencia, Albacete, Barcelona and Madrid provinces. The racket is believed to have been run by six high-ranking ‘thieves in law,’ or vory v zakone, in a system which originally formed as a society for ruling the criminal underworld in Russia’s Gulag forced labour camps in the mid-20th century. A probe was sparked by a 2016 double execution in Terrassa, Cataluña, during which Gela Garashvili, the ‘lieutenant’ of Georgian mafia boss Kakhaber Sushanashvili, was killed. Sushanashvili, 46, his brother Lasha and a third man, Erik Djhaginyan, are believed to be

He was last year handed a 15-year money laundering, conspiracy to murder and attempted fraud rap in Spain before being extradited to France where he last week received a further 10-year term for masterminding a string of robberies.
And he will next year face trial for the killing of rival clan leader Vladimir Dzhanashiya, who in 2010 died after walking into a Marseille Hospital riddled with bullets. Lasha Sushanashvili currently languishes in a Greek jail where he is fighting his own extradition to France after being held in 2012.
Shushanashvili’s Ukrainian wife, 32-year-old Kateryna Myerkova, was among 23 suspects held in November last year at the couple’s luxury apartment in central Barcelona. Dubbed ‘the cashier’ by investigators, she allegedly laundered money and dished out the proceeds to the vory. One of the gang’s particular
specialities was employing lower-level thieves, often staying in Spain on three-month tourist visas before being replaced, to steal valuables from private properties, with courier firms used to export the goods to Georgia where they were sold. One of the vory, named locally as Armenak Badalyan, ran the Armenian cell and was arrested in Badalona, Barcelona, during the latest wave of busts. Another branch of the cabal headed by a vory named as Sargis Grigoryan was based in the Levante region where it carried out ‘an enormous number’ of robberies, fixed tennis and basketball matches and smuggled drugs and tobacco on the Costa Blanca and Costa Calida. Detectives added they have not ruled out further arrests with five international warrants issued, but now consider the gang ‘totally dismantled’ in Spain.

NGO CALL: Spain urged to stop selling to Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Up in arms FOUR NGOs have said Pedro Sanchez’s new government should immediately halt light weapons and ammunition sales to Saudi Arabia and Israel. Amnesty International, Greenpeace, FundiPau and Oxfam International made the call as part of the Control Arms campaign. The awareness drive seeks to highlight the risks to human rights from exporting arms to the countries. Oxfam said it was attempting to make sure the Arms Trade Law passed in Spain in
2007 was being properly applied so there could be control and transparency over sales. Chema Vera, Oxfam International’s director, said the ending of sales to Saudi Arabia was justified due to its intervention in the Yemen Civil War. Saudi Arabia is Spain’s largest arms client outside of the EU and NATO with sales worth around €270.2 million annually. Santiago Beltran, of Amnesty International, said weapons exports should be
suspended to Israel due to alleged human rights violations. These include the death of more than 100 Palestinians in Israeli military shootings since March. Spain sold €1.4 million worth of arms to the country last year and denied licences to export a further €1.9 million. The NGOs have called for greater parliamentary oversight over arms trading in Spain and to stop further exports where they posed a threat to human rights.

‘REPRESSIVE’: Protestors have previously demonstrated against the Citizen Safety Law.
PM eyes ‘gag law’ by Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S government is planning to reform a law that gives police the power to hand out sanctions which have been used to ban demonstrations outside parliament, among other measures. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s left leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) is reportedly in talks with other parties in Spain’s Congress to work towards reforming the Citizen Safety Law passed in 2015. The PSOE is aiming to repeal some of the provisions of what the party has branded a ‘gag law.’ Sanchez described its reform as ‘ur-
gent’ during no-confidence debates on his predecessor, Mariano Rajoy, last month. “The government that emerges from this no-confidence motion will start work on repealing the most virulent aspects of the Gag Law,” he said, during the debate. A PSOE group of three deputies in Congress has reportedly been put together to help gain backing from other parties for the law change. The Basque Nationalist PNV party is leaning towards modifying the law to include protections for protests and trade union activity. The centrist Ciudadanos are also in favour
of this approach. The PSOE and leftist Podemos would prefer to repeal the law all together and return to measures set out in an earlier citizen safety law passed in 1992. The Citizen Safety Law was brought onto the books by the conservative Partido Popular (PP) when it was in government. Its provisions included the restricting of demonstrations near the Congress or Senate, taking ‘unauthorised’ pictures of police officers, stopping evictions and non-violent protests such as sit-ins. Breaking the law could land someone found guilty of doing so with fines ranging from €100 to €600,000

Hero dad saves children A BRITISH holidaymaker saved two young children from drowning after he deemed a bungling Spanish lifeguard “too relaxed” to respond in time. Merseysider Steve Tartt, 32, was enjoying a week in Menorca when a seven-yearold boy and girl, six, got into trouble while playing on a lilo. The dad-of-two said: “I was putting some suncream on, when I saw a little boy and girl struggling in the water. She was trying to help him and she was going under. Their heads were bobbing up and down, I was looking at the lifeguard who saw it all, but did nothing. “I hurdled over the front row of chairs, and dived in. It was 2.4 metres deep and the children were at the bottom. I carried them up to the surface, I don’t know how I did it, looking back.” Mr Tartt confronted the lifeguard, who was “listening to music,” to ask him “what

Holiday horror by Matt Ford
‘ABSOLUTELY DIABOLICAL’: Gemma Stocks, Mark Jacobs and their children and their room with a view.
Family nightmare by Staff Reporter A PREGNANT mum-of-two forced to cram her family into three single beds at a Benidorm hotel has panned the family’s ‘absolutely diabolical’ treatment. Gemma Stocks, 31, burst into tears after they were placed into a miniscule room overlooking a building site on arrival in Spain. She had, last September, booked a four-bed ground floor family room at the Hotel Rio Park through travel firm TUI. But Gemma says the operator failed to advise her that the room would not be available, and she had to visit her local branch in Arnold, Nottingham, four times for them to even acknowledge the problem after she emailed the hotel herself. When they arrived at the holiday town on June 18 they expected to have been placed in a different four-bed suite, but the hotel had been told to split them and place one child with their grandparents, who were also on the trip. The stay-at-home-mum told local media: “I am upset by how we have been treated. “This is the main holiday of the year, I can’t sleep in a single bed with a child when I’m 20 weeks pregnant. “If I had known we were not going to get a
room together I would not have booked it.” The couple refused to make one of their children, aged four and six, sleep elsewhere, and are instead sleeping together in the small room despite forking out almost €2,000 on their holiday. They confirmed that the issue is with TUI not the hotel. Gemma’s partner Mark Jacks, 35, added: “I am absolutely furious about the way they have treated us, it is absolutely diabolical. We were squeezed in a small room. My wife was crying. “It’s not just us that is going to have this problem, it’s a really popular room that we booked. “We were supposed to be able to watch the entertainment from a terrace, now we are on the 12th floor overlooking a building site. The bus driver added: “It completely spoiled it. We are just going to have to get on with it.” The hotel assistant manager confirmed that they are trying to solve the problem, but said that the agent should have told the family their original room was not available. A TUI official said: “We’re sorry to hear about Miss Stocks’ experience and we will be contacting the customer to investigate the matter.”
A FIVE-YEAR-OLD Irish boy was left in critical condition after being knocked down by a drunk driver on the Costa Dorada. The unnamed victim was run over on a zebra crossing outside a campsite in Salou, Cataluña. He was reportedly crossing the road with his family when he was hit by a car carrying the logo of the 2018 Mediterranean Games. It is believed to be an official vehicle for the multisports event currently taking place in the nearby city of Tarragona. The driver fled the scene in the wake of the accident but handed himself in to police an hour and a half later. He failed a breathalyser test having consumed more than the legal alcohol limit and has been charged with negligent driving and failing to provide assistance at an accident scene.
HIT AND RUN: The accident took place in Salou on the Costa Dorada. Medics said the life of the child is in no immediate danger after Salou Council confirmed he had been taken to the ICU Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona. Mediterranean Games organisers said in a statement: “We can confirm there was a traffic accident in Salou at 23.45 in which a vehicle be-
longing to the Games was involved. “It was driven by a worker provided by an external service company who was not part of the organising committee staff. “The organising committee is deeply sorry and is at the disposition of the family.”

THE use of technology legal in Britain to detect speed cameras could result in thousands in fines for drivers in Spain and elsewhere in Europe following crackdowns. Speed camera detection devices and technology capable of jamming radars could land motorists fines of up to €6,000 in Spain. French rules state penalties of around €1,500 can be slapped on drivers on their roads for the
last year. British authorities recently cracked down on the use of such technology. They are legal if sold as parking sensors or garage door openers but not if used to interfere with speed cameras.

Cave family shock 13 of man’s 36 children taken into care A MAN who lives in a cave with three women and 25 of the 36 children he has fathered has seen 13 of them taken into care by Spanish social services. Police raided the home of 61-year-old Juan Manuel, known as ‘El Canuto,’ in Marchal, Granada, and took away 11 of his offspring before forcing him to hand over two others the next day. All are aged between three and 15, with some taken to a
care home and others placed with foster families amid accusations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse, violence between their father and mothers, and negligence. It comes in the wake of a probe by a public prosecutor, which concluded that the girls were at the greatest risk. According to a written report, El Canuto has six children with a woman named Piedad, 16 with María Dolores and 14 with Soledad, of which two have already died. The document explains that
he “controls the rules of behaviour for all members of the family (including women, adults and children), based on a one-way authoritarian communication style, and a regime of behavioural and emotional tyranny and oppression.” It adds that: “disciplinary control is carried out via threats, humiliation and alleged physical abuse. There is also a clear difference in terms of gender, with discrimination against the women and girls.” Investigators say the Junta de Andalucia regional government may eventually assume custody of the children. El Canuto became a minor celebrity after being portrayed as a colourful but harmless character on a TV documen-

He says he has never worked a day in his life and has a criminal record, although he has never been jailed. Other townsfolk are allegedly scared to discuss him and even the mayor refused to comment in the wake of the
swoop by 40 Guardia Civil officers wearing bullet proof vests and carrying submachine guns, accompanied by social workers who know the family. He told Spanish media: “You have to understand our situation: journalists leave and we and our families have to stay here, and we have to be very careful because later things happen and they are irreversible.”
El Canuto has denied he mistreats his family and told news agency EFE that his children have been ‘kidnapped’ before, insisting the children had not been living in substandard conditions and that the report is ‘libellous.’ The probe was launched after two of the daughters ran away from home last year and told detectives they had been sexually abused.

As soon as he arrived he was on the phone to Euro Weekly News to chat about his life and how much he enjoyed playing once again in Marbella. He is a very warm and friendly family man who is down to earth and is doing what he can to ensure a bright and safe future for his family. Currently he loves being a DJ and was in Ibiza to work with Tinie Tempah, but will then move on to undertake two handed shows known as Marvin’s Room with the likes of Jax Jones and Jonas Blue. He is also due to work with Craig David at Ibiza Rocks. “Craig is a good friend and has taught me a lot,” said Marvin, adding “Despite the number of years he has been in the profession he is still relevant and a true professional.” Looking back to the appear-
28 June - 4 July 2018
‘It was a no brainer’ Marvin Humes chats to Euro Weekly News ance at Mahiki Beach he was full of praise for the venue, the owners, the city and the audience. When asked why he had come over now, he responded “It was a no brainer, a World Cup beach party!” “The weather was great and the atmosphere went up several notches as I performed my set.” He couldn’t say enough in praise of the Sala Group who had brought him over and had taken him to the Oak Garden & Grill for a great meal before he went on to play his set. There appears to be no question in his mind that later this year he will bring wife Rochelle (herself a singer and TV presenter) and their two children back to Marbella for a private family holiday. Speaking about the family, Marvin says that he and Rochelle try to keep their two daughters Alaia-Mai and baby Valentina Raine grounded but did admit that “the other day she
came home and said ‘Daddy you’re famous’ because one of her school friends knew that I was a DJ on Capital Radio.” Marvin gives a great deal of credit to wife Rochelle who as a member of the Saturdays and now a successful TV presenter herself understands the pressures put upon celebrities and the two work together to ensure that the children are happy and settled. It isn’t just their own children who mean so much to the couple but they also like to be involved in charity work with Rochelle being one of the hosts of Children in Need for the last four years as well as having recently completed a Marathon run for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Marvin has for some time been involved in the recording of a series of charity records and has helped to present Children in Need for the last two years. When asked whether he had anything to say to his fans on the Costa del Sol and the people of
Marbella who he performed to, Marvin simply said “Thanks for all of the love and support - Marbella feels like home.” There then followed a short question and answer session: What is your favourite food? All types of seafood Which is your favourite band or performer? Without question Michael Jackson Where do you find the energy to keep going? It’s all about having children. They have given me a new lease of life and what I do now, everything is with the future of the girls in mind. Who would play you in a film of your life? Michael B Jordan from the movie Black Panther Is there any question you wanted to be asked? Which is my favourite football team and the answer is the mighty Chelsea.

She and her sister Alona were brought to the charity some time ago without microchips, so no way to trace an owner. She would make a great family pet. Pazzi is one of 12 dogs recently rescued by the police from a very unsuitable home. In fact, five dogs were also found dead at the location. Some of the 12 have found homes, but Pazzi is one of the remaining few. She loves her carers and is confident with them, but is still timid with strangers. Given the chance in a real home she is sure to be a very loving, friendly dog.

Is the use of every property fixed? WHEN a developer builds a block of apartments or completes an urbanization there will be what’s termed the community act, the Escritura de División Horizontal,
an act (deed) of horizontal division of property. This master deed shows how the block or urbanization has been divided up, listing and giving the individual details
of each of the new properties to be sold and registered with the property registry. It states the size and quota, (percentage coefficient in ratio to the entire community) and describes each of the properties individually; house, apartment, storeroom, commercial premises, parking place, garage etc. Once the properties have been sold to the new owners or later resold, a ‘problem’ sometimes arises when an owner decides to change or changes how they make use of their property. For example, an owner wants to convert what is described as a commercial premises into an apartment or changes an enclosed parking place to a storeroom or a storeroom to a commercial premises. Understandably this is quite common and generally speaking the courts have declared that unless there is a clear restriction or specific and fixed categorization laid

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches
out in the community statues or the deed of horizontal division, then an owner is free to use their private property more or less as they wish and usually they will not need the communities consent to do so. However before going ahead there are some other considerations which should be taken into account. There could be town hall rules and regulations or restrictions and requirements concerning the use of any property, domestic or commercial. The owner should also consider if a change would become a nuisance to other neighbours or if the change would prejudice the rights of other neighbours, for ex-
ample restrict their access or similar. Basically as said an owner is free to live in a commercial premises or convert an enclosed parking place to a storeroom etc. However if there is a conflict of interest or a complaint and it goes to court then it also follows as there are no fixed rules, each case will be judged on its individual merits and considerations. For example if what was an enclosed parking place is suddenly used to store hazardous and toxic chemicals or items that constitute a danger to health then it will probably soon be stopped. However if this is not the case and the town hall or community statues etc do not prohibit a change of use, (e.g. a commercial premises being used as an apartment) then other owners would find it hard to claim the change, with or without the communities consent, is or will be illegal.
If there is any doubt about whether there are any municipal restrictions on the use of a property the simplest way to check is to ask at the town hall. With regard to any restrictions within the community, owners can check by reading through the community statues etc which should be freely available to all owners from the community administrator. As for the rest, as you can imagine that should be just common sense. As usual we the solicitors for Intercala Administration always advise the readers of our monthly articles to seek competent advice in all matters concerning the law. In last month’s Community Law Corner article of May 24, 2018 concerning ‘Appropriating Community Property’ the percentage quotas of any community must add up to 100 per cent’ not 10 per cent as was mistakenly published.

How much mortgage can I get? Mortgage Expert by Sara
WHEN looking to buy a property in Spain, securing a mortgage would probably be one of the first steps in the process for most people. Bank in Spain is a mortgage broker specialised in expats and international clients buying a house in the sun. “‘How much mortgage can I get?’ is normally the first question we get,” Sara Stannard says. She works as a British Client Advisor in the mortgage broker, Bank in Spain, specialised in expats and international clients buying their holiday home in Spain. “The maximum you can get in a mortgage, would be 70 per cent of the purchase price excluding taxes and fees. “The best conditions you get are on mortgages up to around 60 per cent of the purchase price.” Sara continues, “Different from the UK, Spanish banks do not include the costs related to buying a property nor the costs related
to taking out a mortgage. For several years after the financial crisis, many Spanish banks were reluctant to offer new mortgages. This has now changed and the banks are once again open for lending out money. “We are not yet back to the mortgage boom we saw before 2008, but now the competition is fierce between the banks on good mortgages,” she continues. The number of mortgages signed in Spain has seen a steady increase since 2014. Only in 2017, the increase was close to 10 per cent as compared to the previous year. Despite this increase, we are still a long way from the mortgage boom of 10 years ago. According to the Spanish National Statistics office, the number of mortgages signed in 2017 was only a mere 25 per cent of the mortgages signed in 2007 - at the top of the boom. The conditions offered to expats vary surprisingly between the banks, but in some areas they are similar. Interest-only mortgages and 100 per cent mortgages are a thing of the past. “Currently, 100 per cent mortgages are only offered on certain bank repossessions with no option of selecting the lender.”

He added: “There are days when there are no Canary Islands bananas and this has translated into stratospheric prices compared to what we’re used to.”

Plane talking on new wings AERONAUTICAL giant Airbus has warned it could pull out of the UK in the wake of Brexit, with Spain one of the candidates being considered to mop up future contracts. The France-based company said in a statement that current plans for a transition period ending in December 2020 do not offer enough time for it to modify its supply chain. All wings for the planemaker’s passenger jets are currently made in Britain, but the memo explained that there would be ‘severe disruption and interruption’ in terms of production should
by Matt Ford the country leave the European Union (EU) single market and customs union without any further transition agreed. Chief operating officer of Airbus Commercial Aircraft, Tom Williams, said: “Put simply, a no-deal scenario directly threatens Airbus’ future in the UK.” It comes two years after the controversial referendum in which British citizens narrowly voted to leave the EU. Airbus employs around 14,000 people in the UK, but supports 100,000 jobs in total.
It also confirmed that it is unable to make a decision on new investment in the country until the nature of the Brexit deal becomes clear. “We have to come to the point where we have to make decisions, quite often those decisions are long term in nature and without clarity then it’s too dangerous for us to proceed,” Williams continued. The official added that the firm is already evaluating alternative solutions for building its next generation of wings, with Spain, South Korea and Germany top of the list.
Bank cleared as probe dropped SPAIN’S National Court has revealed it has called off a probe into banking group Santander over its €1 purchase of former rival Banco Popular. The judge heading the enquiry said that allegations made against the country’s largest bank amounted to ‘a list of incriminating statements’ with no supporting documentation or other evidence. Santander had been accused of wrongdoing over the deal, including manipulation of stock markets to trigger a crash in Popular ’s share price.

SPANISH tourists spend an average of €719 per person on their summer holidays, although one in three families cannot afford to go anywhere and drag the figure down, according to tourism watchdog Observatur.
Store wars TAX SCAM: Officers load some of the cash into a trolley. INVESTIGATORS have seized €8 million in bank notes stuffed into plastic bags and held 13 suspects in Spain, Portugal and Romania in the year’s biggest money-laundering case so far. The money was found hidden in drawers and shoe boxes during a series of raids coordinated by the Guardia Civil, Spanish tax agency and Europol, with evidence of fraudulent bank transfers totalling €31 million also seized.
Those held have been remanded in custody and charged with crimes against the public treasury and consumer market, police said in a statement. The gang reportedly imported fake toys, footwear and clothes from China and used fake companies to avoid paying tax before selling the products cheaper than legitimate firms. Cash was then funnelled out of Europe a suitcase at a time by Chinese accomplices.
MANY high street shops have started their summer sales - which officially begin on July 1 - early after cold weather and rain were blamed for a ‘disastrous and dramatic’ spring season, industry sources revealed.
By the books A PROBE by the Spanish government’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) has found ‘imprecise or inaccurate data or with misleading information’ in the former ruling People’s Party’s 2016 financial report, it said in a statement.
No panic over pensions SPAIN’S new socialist government has said it has ‘no reasons’ to believe it will miss its European Union (EU) deficit target, despite pledging to increase spending on pensions. It comes after the Eurozone’s finance ministers discussed Spain’s 2018 budget, passed before former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was ousted and drafted by his conservative
People’s Party. The lawmakers concluded that the country is set to miss its deficit target of 2.2 per cent of GDP by at least half a point. Spain is the last country remaining under the EU’s Excessive Deficit Procedure, which can see nations fined for unsustainable spending, after the action was last week lifted from France.

It’s time to scrub the scribble
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT AS far as I’m concerned, these so called graffiti ‘artists,’ are not only a blight on the landscape but a blight on our whole society. Their daubs scrawls and indiscriminate obscenities, desecrate our buildings, bridges, rolling stock and just about anything else that gets in the way of their sanctimonious spray cans. I do admit that a small minority (ala Banksy) can indeed be creative, and sometimes even enhance buildings and structures that are otherwise gloomy and run down but the majority are not. Most are anti-social destructive louts, with nothing better to do than destroy other people’s creations and hard work. Far from it for me to declare that the three young men who were recently rundown and tragically killed by a train deserved what they got, of course they didn’t, but there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that they simply shouldn’t have been there in the first place. An insight into the so called ‘artistic’ morality of some of these people was starkly demonstrated in the reaction of some of the like-minded friends of these three young men.
ART ATTACK: A pedestrian tunnel in Madrid. Apparently, the following day ‘tensions were running high’ at the Loughborough Junction, where well-wishers sprayed black hearts and RIP on shutters outside the station. It appears extra police had to be brought in after youths defaced a flower memorial and daubed slogans criticising the police and Transport for London for their actions!
Er, just a minute, what particular actions were they actually objecting to? The way the police had the utterly disturbing and upsetting job of clearing the remains of the victims from the track? The transport authorities’ highly daunting task of dealing with the disruption and commuter chaos that ensued after the accident?
Give us all a break. The sooner these misfits put the spray cans away, smarten up and get down to learning something from all that mainly free education they take so much for granted, the better it will be for all of us. Personally, I would declare all-out war on these people; using CCTV and any means possible to bring them to
book. I would like to see them named, shamed and made to clean off their filth, before being heavily fined, losing their student grants or even facing imprisonment. How dare these blots on society be allowed to deface other people’s property and cause an affront to our senses in the name of ‘art.’ Perhaps something good will come out of this tragedy by discouraging others to risk their lives merely to splosh paint everywhere, but somehow, I doubt it. I dunno, perhaps it’s me. Sometimes I truly feel I’m getting too old for it all. One totally unrelated action I would like to suggest before I finally check out, is to remove the words ‘well done’ and ‘amazing’ from the English language. That should strike most of our so-called TV presenters and quizzers utterly dumb and make way for some proper talent who can actually ad lib their way out of the proverbial paper bag! Keep the faith.

Nerja: Axarquia’s rising star FOLLOWING its recognition as Spain’s best emerging travel destination, Nerja is likely to see waves of extra tourists flock to its idyllic beaches this summer. The coastal Axarquia destination was ranked fourth in TripAdvisor’s ‘Top Destinations on the Rise - Europe 2018.’ And the town also finished ninth worldwide in the website’s Travellers’ Choice rankings. With the awards reportedly judged on the increases in positive reviews, searches and booking interests, they merely demonstrate the growth of the town’s appeal, not how wonderful a destination it is. Nerja is moving from niche to mainstream, in other words. What is undoubtedly mainstream, is the town’s beaches. Much like the rest of the Spanish south coast, sandy beaches and sun make for a
CAVE RAVE: Concerts are sometimes put on in the popular attraction. winning combination. But there is more to the town than beaches. Situated about 50km east of Malaga, Nerja has Muslim roots - indeed, its name is thought to stem from what the previous rulers called it: ‘Narixa,’ which means ‘abundant source.’ But its history stretches far further back. Primitive paintings, discovered in 2012, line
the walls of one of its best attractions - the spectacular Caves of Nerja. The find was significant as it is thought to be the first Neanderthal cave paintings discovered in the country. The caves themselves boast impressive stalactites and stalagmites and interesting historical displays. The near 5km caverns are divided into two main parts, though one is not
open to visitors. Occasionally, concerts are put on for the public, and given the stunning setting and amphitheatre dynamics - it is not a spectacle to be missed. Another attraction for nonbeach fanatics is the Balcon de Europa, which provides spectacular views of the coast and a pretty spot for a stroll. At night, street artists give the pedestrianised area a lively at-
mosphere. The sunsets can also be stunning. During the day, a walk up the riverbed of the River Chillar can make for a refreshing day trip. Pretty geology, a lack of crowds, crisp water and greenery make it a winner with most who are willing to try it. And revellers also have time for a quick dip in the river’s waterfalls.
Noting the array of attractions near the destination, TripAdvisor write: ‘Positioned at the eastern tip of the Costa del Sol, Nerja boasts nearly 10 miles of powdery beaches featuring activities like water skiing, scuba diving and sailing. Although tourist-oriented, it hasn’t been overtaken by high-rises, and its huge promenade delivers panoramic Mediterranean views.’ In 2009, the 33-squaremile community had a reported total population of 22,000. The town’s permanent residents retain some Spanish authenticity in the town itself, according to some visitors. Even if the TripAdvisor gang do arrive in their droves, Nerja is likely to retain its charm for years to come, especially away from the beaches. Let’s just hope is does not rise too high in the tourist destination stakes.

Summer means classic car shows
Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England THERE are car shows and there are classic car shows. Among the very best for seeing, hearing and indeed smelling the oil rubber and petrol is the Pebble Beach Concours in California, USA and the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, England. The palace is the one time home of Cardinal Wolsey, Chancellor to Henry VIII, he of the six wives and presented by the Cardinal to the King. Held in the extensive gardens the Concours is an occasion graced not only by beautiful classics, but is also a special social occasion with the cars, the palace gardens and house a perfect backdrop for elegant people. The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance ‘Best in Show’ winning 1929 Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer ‘Boat Tail’ - some say the finest car in the world - is now confirmed for the Concours of Elegance 2018. This year’s event, hosted at Hampton Court Palace from August 31 to September 2, is a near-unique opportunity for European petrol heads to see the award-winning Mercedes as it comes to the UK for the first time since 1958. Based on the 1927 Mercedes S-Type,
the unique ‘Boat Tail’ was one of the most powerful road-going automobiles in the world in period, developed as the perfect road-going, race capable car. Originally owned by racing enthusiast and British Racing Drivers’ Club cofounder Earl Howe, this car was fitted with a revolutionary body which incorporated a lightweight and aerodynamic shell with unique aircraft-inspired aluminium side pods crafted by English coachbuilders Barker. The car was a regular on tours, trials and competition events in the UK before new ownership in 1958 took it to America, where it has remained since. When it was first sold to American owners, the car was repainted in a dark maroon colour and the rear renovated to sport an additional spare tyre instead of its distinctive ‘Boat Tail.’ But, its most recent owner has just

completed a multi-year project of restoring the car to its former glory. The majority of Earl Howe’s unique specifications were all-but-lost until a host of photographs unearthed aspects of the original vehicles. They revealed the missing ‘Boat Tail,’ numerous reflective surfaces, custom touring luggage and a red spotlight which was given to Members of Parliament to alert other road users to their status. Upon disassembly patches of the Earl Howe’s signature Peacock Blue paint were also discovered, which has now been sympathetically recreated. Concours of Elegance Managing Director, Andrew Evans, said: “The Mercedes S-Type ‘Boat Tail’ is such a special car, and we’re incredibly privileged to have it at Concours of Elegance 2018. This car won’t have turned a wheel in the UK during many people’s lifetimes, so it’s an opportunity for our visitors to come and see a real piece of motoring history. Add that to the other 60 cars in our main concours, and nearly 1,000 others across the weekend, and you’ll see why we’re so excited about this year’s event.” Telling the complete story of the motorcar, the Concours will begin with a 1903 Panhard et Levassor and finish with one of 2018’s most exclusive supercars.
It’s only fair to share! Marbella Moments by Nicole King I’VE still got and wear clothes that I’ve had since I was a teenager. Clothes are memories and I like to keep the ‘good ones’ with me. Many of my clothes however come with ‘pre-memories’ ie second-hand. I’ve always favoured clothes shopping at charity shops to find those certain ‘somethings’ that reflect me rather than the fashion of the day. I never used to think about the people that would benefit from my purchases though; now I do. This is why, even though I know it’s polite to just say ‘thank you’ when complimented on what I’m wearing I love to tell people that my outfit, or part of it, came from a local charity shop at some ridiculously cheap price. I have loads of clothes but I

Fortunately we have a large selection of charity shops to choose from: the Debra shops supporting the Butterfly Children Charity and Cudeca shops to help fund the
Málaga Cancer Hospice to name but two, plus I always pick up many a gem from the Triple A animal rescue centre events too! Nothing to be ashamed of, or embarrassed, quite the contrary. These charities are very worthy causes and rely on our community for their very survival, so instead of just handing over all my hard earned money to the big corpora-
tions without a second thought, why not pop into these very tempting alternatives? Charity shops unite us as a community: we can share our clothes but also our time as they all need volunteers to serve in the shops, even a couple of hours a week would help if you can spare yourself for a while! Charity shops are wardrobes to
the world; particularly in five-star Marbella where people give away great stuff from all over the globe! If you ever needed an excuse to go shopping this is it! Almost an obligation I’d say, it’s in aid of charity! If you agree, in true Facebook style, remember it’s only fair to share! @marbellanow

BANG FOR YOUR BRICKS: Prices remain well below the 2007 peak making now an ideal time to buy.
House about that By Matt Ford
T
HE Spanish property market is well and truly on the road to recovery. And the upswing is backed by a slew of recently-published data. The Spanish Land Registrars’ Association has confirmed prices soared by 9.39 per cent on average in the first quarter of 2018, while the Spanish government’s official data shows that valuations shot up by 2.7 per cent. A March index from the Association of Spanish Notaries increased by 0.4 per cent and April figures from valuations firm Tinsa rose by 5.4 per cent. And registrars’ statistics demonstrate that house prices have climbed by 26 per cent since the low point of December 2014, although they remain 18 per cent down compared to the height of the construction boom in 2007. The Tinsa data also shows prices in Spain’s major cities displayed year-on-year growth of 8.7
Market recovery goes on per cent, those in the Balearics 5.6 per cent and on the Mediterranean coast 0.3 per cent. Mark Srucklin of Spanish Property Insight said: “These national indices don’t tell us anything about local markets, but they do give us some idea of where we are in the property market cycle. Spanish house prices are back in positive territory, whichever index you choose.” And holiday homes are also
back on the march, with British buyers leading the way as Brexit fears ease. Speaking exclusively with Euro Weekly News, Taylor Wimpey Espana’s Sales and Marketing Director Marc Pritchard used the Costa del Sol as an example. “The Costa del Sol holiday home market has provided scope for cautious optimism over the coming months. Prices
there have risen by 9.3 per cent so far in 2018, but there are still good prices to be had compared with 2007, which many buyers find encouraging,” he said. “Foreign buyers in the Costa del Sol are currently running at 13.8 per cent, with British buyers being the largest group. Together, Brits account for 15 per cent of total sales at present. While British interest wavered in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit referendum, demand has grown again over the past year.” He added: “Of course nothing is certain in this day and age, but it seems that buyers may have already accounted for Brexit and moved on - in much the same way that the financial markets nowadays often price in expected mergers in advance, so when they actually happen their impact is limited. We anticipate this could be the same with the UK’s departure from the EU; essentially, the Costa del Sol won’t see much of a change from its current trajectory of increasing sales to British buyers.”

RITONS have bought double the amount of homes on the Costa del Sol compared to last year, according to the leading housebuilding company, Taylor Wimpey. The stability of the GBP/EURO exchange rate is a key factor in the 100 per cent year-onyear purchase increase, Taylor Wimpey’s España’s marketing director, Marc Pritchard, said. The GBP/EUR exchange rate only changed by 0.32 per cent from a low of 1.12014 to a high of 1.15801 in the last three months, according to the online currency monitor, xe.com. And the result has reportedly been an increase in British buyer confidence. He also noted the general interest in the Costa del Sol is rising thanks to its ‘age-old attractions’ including pristine beaches and golf courses. And many buyers are looking to make a swift move into the housing market ahead of five per cent price rises for 2018, BBVA, one of Spain’s ‘big-four’ banks predicted.

OSE BANUS and Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe were the men behind modern-day luxury Marbella, according to a new volume by journalist and writer Jorge Lemos. Lemos’ Puerto Banus. History of an ambitious project narrates the ins and outs of the glitzy getaway’s creation. It features more than 90 images of famous characters who passed through the port, including Rainiero Prince of Monaco and superstar actress Bridget Bardot. Hohenlohe, who spent many of his early years in Hollywood and Monaco, built the Marbella Club as a secluded hideaway for fellow aristocrats in the wake of the Second World War. But developer and close friend of Europe’s last dictator Francisco Franco, Jose Banus harboured a contrary vision to Hohenlohe’s. Banus wanted to do away with Andalucia’s heritage and turn the ex-fishing port into a high-rise holiday resort. Hohenlohe countered the lofty plans, recommending

Marbella’s masterminds Banus follow a traditional design based on a Mediterranean mountain town, like his
Marbella Club did. The club - Marbella’s original luxury resort - was designed
by renowned Swiss-Russian architect Noldi Schreck after the Prince met him on holiday
in Mexico. Banus ditched his initial idea, the fledgling port took tradition’s shape and joined Monaco, Cannes, Saint Tropez and Puerto Cervo as one of the world’s highest-profile hubs of hedonism. In the book, Lemos emphasises how today’s luxury destination was born out of ‘traditional and poor’ architectural ancestry, which owes its prominence to Hohenlohe’s and Banus’ ‘complementary’ projects.

By Gregory Kirby BRITISH c o u p l e who left London in 2009 have successfully built a totally-off-the grid carbon-neutral home within an Andalucia national park. Simon and Donna Beckmann were beginning to feel fed up with the comforts of city living, so they went in search of adventure, according to a report by architecture industry media. Three years of hard work later, the couple have created a unique home and artists residency in the middle of Sierra da Mara-Los Velez natural park. Simon is not the first in his family to undertake a self-build. His father remodeled the Victorian house he grew up in and his brother recently refurbished a lighthouse.

CITY DITCHED: Solar panels heat the property’s water supply. A can-do DIY attitude to the construction process reportedly carried Simon through the build. When a storm damaged the power-generating wind turbine, instead of contracting
professionals to fix it, the Brit learnt how to do it himself. A local builder fixed a metal cage to a crane which lifted Simon up to the turbine where he spent hours repairing the turbine
in ‘rattling winds.’ “I think I was using every muscle to hold onto the cage up in the wind. I was so sore the next day.” And fetching the water to mix the concrete to repair the roof with
was a challenge in itself. “I had to drive with the Land Rover and the trailer about 14 kilometres every other day to go and pump out a thousand litres of water to bring to
the house,” Simon said. “We’d mix concrete in a concrete mixer powered by a generator and then carry it in buckets up onto the roof to do the reparation. It was mad looking back at it, but we did it,” he added. The home is completely sustainable and they recycle absolutely everything. A wind turbine in the back garden provides power, the solar panels heat the water and a filtration system collects waste water from the basins, showers and the dishwasher. “We are 100 per cent carbon neutral,” Simon said. “It’s not like I’m expecting an apocalypse. It’s more about being less reliant on systems,” he added. And for those aspiring to create something similar, “just do it,” was Simon’s advice.

Data from the General Council of Notaries, a public legal body, placed the total figure higher at 43.6 per cent based on their own data.

First day back MARIANO RAJOY has started his first day back at his old job after leaving office as the head of Spain’s government. The former Prime Minister, ousted in a no confidence motion at the beginning of June, has left Madrid behind, for the Alicante Province, to work as a property registrar. Rajoy was met by reporters and photographers as he left his workplace in Santa Pola following his first day in the job. “I appreciate your presence. I know that you think this is news and that’s why you’re here.” “I don’t have much more to add to what I have already said. I have retired from politics and returned to where I was before,” he told journalists. The ex-prime minister took the high speed train from Madrid and arrived 50 minutes late for his first day in the post. He is currently staying in a hotel and is set to work from 9am to 5pm. Rajoy’s return to the post, his job before entering politics, comes as he resigned his seat in Spain’s parliament and as the president of the con-

Riquelme said he would get used to the role ‘with ease’ because the former prime minister is an ‘intelligent person.’ The work of a property registrar was done on typewriters when Rajoy left the post.

Franco pile battle THE mayor of a northern Spanish town has called on Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to help return a country home used by former dictator Francisco Franco’s family to public ownership. Benito Portela, the Mayor of Sada, said in a letter to Sanchez it was an ‘opportune’ moment to bring the Pazo de Meiras into state hands. The property, complete with a 16-acre estate, recently went on the market for €8 million.

memorial to the fight against fascism. Franco’s descendants continue to use the property which was the dictator’s summer residence, in the A Coruña area, while he was in power. The then Franco regime claimed the house was donated by the people of Galicia for the dictator’s use following his victory in the Spanish Civil War. Historians have since claimed senior A Coruña officials and business leaders obliged locals to give up some of their money to buy and expand the property for Franco. Protestors stormed the country home last year in protest against its
ownership by the Franco family last year. One of them, Nestor Rego, said it was a ‘scandal’ that the house was still in the hands of the former dictator’s descendants. Galicia officials declared the mansion a building of cultural and heritage interest in 2008, meaning it must open its doors to the public for four months every year. Galician nationalist politicians criticised the Franco foundation’s taking over of the organising of the visits. The foundation, which supports and promotes the dictator’s legacy, was allegedly using the visits as a way to defend Franco.
GRANADA CITY has topped the list of those with the highest increases in the cost of newly-built homes in 2017, up from second place the previous year.

Statistics stated the average price of new builds rose by 2.3 per cent last year when compared to 2016. The ministry estimated the average cost per square metre for new properties was €1,804 nationally. Granada was followed in the rankings by the cities of Bugos with a 16.8 per cent increase, Alicante with 15.5 per cent, Madrid, 9.5, Sevilla, 7 and Barcelona, 6.5. Cadiz registered a 6 per cent increase, followed by Murcia with 5.6 and Palma, 4.7.

KEY TO IT: Speak to an independent lawyer before committing.
By Pellicer & Heredia
L
ET us first give the basic warning when buying or renting a Spanish property. It goes like this: believe nothing, check everything! When the buyer might hear that everything is in order from the seller or estate agent, it is strongly advisable to seek independent legal advice for peace of mind. Even when there is not an outstanding mortgage, or when you are told that a property measures x square metres, check yourself or through your own surveyor. When you hear the terrace, pool, storage,
Keeping it legal What to watch out for when buying a Spanish property basement, bedroom is included in the deal, check the plans and double check with your solicitor. Any reputable seller will be perfectly happy to have his offers checked by an independent lawyer. Spoken words do not count when a property is for sale. We all are aware of the presence of illegal housing estates where unwary buyers end up having problems of unpaid taxes, unregistered title deeds,
and difficulty in obtaining municipal services or building permission. Some properties are sold after many corners have been cut to save costs both on the buyer’s side (by not using an independent solicitor, for example), and the constructor or seller’s side. You could encounter the following problems: 1. Lack of bank guarantee on stage payments (off-plan). 2. Title deed and cadastral
problems (non-registered deeds, measurements that do not match with the real metres on the house and land, etc). 3. Lack of project and licence for the house. 4. Lack of 10 years’ structural insurance certificate. 5. Lack of first occupation licence. 6. Undervalued title deeds. 7. Lack of bulletins (certifications for electricians and plumbers). 8. Infrastructure problems.
It is highly recommended to employ an independent solicitor who will be working only for you and look after your best interests. The right time to employ your lawyer is before you commit and pay any money out. The tax implications are very important and it is good for you to be aware prior to signing any document. Whether you buy an apartment or house, decide to rent a luxury villa, or agree to buy an off-plan property, do not forget to protect your money with the right independent advice from your lawyer. Let us take the worry away and start enjoying Spain while living here! Call us on 965 489 737.

AIRBNB rentals continue to be a contentious topic in Barcelona, as the tourism minister, Agusti Colom, continues to pressure the holiday rental giant into concessions. Colom recently announced the website will collaborate with authorities through an antitourism fraud platform. It joins other sector heavyweights like Booking, TripAdvisor, Rentalia and Homeaway in the move. The rental hub has pledged to remove 2,577 unlicensed listings, share user data with the council and introduce a tool to prevent future illicit lets in the region. And the holiday rental giant launched a #LoveBarcelona video campaign which featured local hosts celebrating welcoming newcomers into their homes and to the city. It was a marketing plea to boost the firm’s image which has been severely tarnished for allegedly making city rentals inaccessible for locals. Strolling down some of

Barcelona bashes online rentals
BATTLE: Tourism minister Agusti Colom discussing social cohesion. Barcelona’s more touristy neighbourhoods like Gracia and Poblenou passers-by will see balconies branded with flags slating the rental firm. Residents claim Airbnb causes speculative property markets, with houses being bagged by investors using them to rake in expensive
tourist rates. But the firm disagrees on the extent of the impact. In fact, it takes credit for a €1 billion influx its clients allegedly bring to Cataluña’s capital. It also claimed some 80 per cent of the 18,531 Barcelona homes on offer are the owner’s sole property.
And it said more than half of lets are made by ‘home sharers’ renting out single rooms to help pay the bills. City council inspectors do not see it that way. Their job is to sniff out illegal holiday lets aided by a dedicated hotline through which locals can report sus-
pected law breakers. So far, the council has handed out 3,000 fines and 2,200 rental ending orders. It also fined the website €600,000 in 2016 for placing unlicenced properties online, but it has yet to pay up. “All we ask is that Airbnb obeys the law,” Janet Sanz, the housing councillor said. “Often when they say they want to negotiate, what they’re really asking is to break the law, but that’s not negotiable,” she added. Airbnb will not roll over lightly and is lobbying the European Union in Brussels to override local legislation. But according to Jaime Palomera of the Tenants’ Union, Barcelona households spend on average 45 per cent of their income on rents. It means “if they get into financial difficulties, they end up in the street,” he added. And with locals walking such a tightrope, it is unlikely citizen’s pressure on Airbnb is due to let up any time soon.

The princess and the pea
- and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
IÑAKI URDANGARIN, erstwhile Duke of Palma de Mallorca, brotherin-law to Felipe VI and son-in-law of Juan Carlos I, is now in prison. He got five years instead of the 17 requested by the public prosecutor and is inside a cushy women’s jail for misappropriation of public funds, tax evasion and money-laundering. Possibly Urdangarin always had the makings of a criminal but it’s doubtful that he would be imprisoned if he hadn’t married a king’s daughter. King Cophetua and the beggar maid? No problem because she married up. But Iñaki and Cristina? Big trouble, because you have a princess and the pea situation. She was brought up knowing she’s a royal princess and he strove to make sure she lived in the manner to which she was accustomed. But she was a royal princess and was always to feel that ruddy pea however high Iñaki piled up the mattresses that he bought with public money.

bert Rivera but otherwise colourless. Galicia’s regional president Alberto Nuñez Feijoo won’t run at all which is unfortunate as he makes more sense than the lot of them put together. So we’re left with a cat fight that will be interesting to watch as either woman could draw in the punters who always vote PP, come hell or high water or incontrovertible proof of corruption. But they are tainted by association with the Rajoy Government and a victory for either means curtains for the PP in its present form. The party’s only hope of regaining power is with a new and attractive face that can give Pedro Sanchez, Pablo Iglesias and Albert Rivera a run for their money. More importantly there can’t be the slightest whiff of scandal attached linked to their names. This narrows the choice dramatically, which means that the PP is con-
demned to making do with the sameold, same-old.
State of anxiety THERE was once a policeman named Antonio Gonzalez-Pacheco. He was nicknamed Billy the Kid and in 1977 was awarded the Police Medal for Merit for having enjoyed torturing Franco’s opponents in the dying days of the regime. The calls for him to be stripped of the medal and the 15 per cent increment to his police pension began immediately after Spain’s transition to democracy. Successive governments have tried half-heartedly to remove both and Pedro Sanchez has said that this time he will see what can be done. Meanwhile the Director General of Police maintained that detailing Gonzalez-Pacheco’s ‘merits and services’ could infringe his privacy and leave him in a ‘constant state of anxiety.’ But not as anxious as he left his victims. columnists@euroweeklynews.com

Summer time and the viewing is (mostly) easy TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis LET’S start with some not so easy reading. It was announced that Sophie Gradon died last week. Many of you might not know who she was. Sophie was a model, she was Miss Newcastle in 2008 and Miss Great Britain in 2009. She raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity and was horribly bullied on social media. Sophie was a contestant on Love Island in 2106. I hope that the current crop of Islander’s manage to do half of the good work Sophie did in her all too short life. God Bless Sophie. So, on a lighter note, how is everyone coping with the World Cup coverage? I was in Ronda on Monday night and to secure a table at our favourite restaurant had to agree to a table by an enormous TV which belted out the Spain v Morocco match. I enjoyed the game, others seemed less
AGELESS: Dr Hilary Jones on How the NHS Changed our World.
INSPIRATIONAL: The late Sophie Gradon. than impressed. The coverage has dominated schedules and is going to do so for a little while yet. At least for now, those of us in Spain can have double loyalty - wait, that is probably not what some fans think. It’s kind of what I think. Feel free to write in, c/o Leapy. I’m really enjoying the programmes celebrating the 70th anniversary of the NHS. For me, one of the best has to be How the NHS Changed our World (BBC2 weekdays this week/BBC iPlayer).
Tuesday saw Dr Hilary Jones (the man never looks any older) meeting staff and patients at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. It really brought home how advancements in areas such as paediatrics are largely down to the NHS and how these probably wouldn’t have gone forward in the same way without it. Other shows visit Moorfields in London, The John Radcliffe and the final show shines the spotlight on pioneering work in Tyneside in the genetics field. I’m not sharing my thoughts on generics (see
thoughts on football above) but I am enjoying the run. I wonder if a future series could help us understand just why Dr Hilary doesn’t age... My weekend viewing included a trip to Tyneside with Shaun Keaeny as my guide to The Great Exhibition of the North (BBC iPlayer). Now, I don’t know if any of you caught the chatter about a Professor telling, I think, Radio 4 listeners that ‘Manchester and Birmingham were not in the North, but parts of Wales are,’ but I assure you as a native
Geordie I’m not sharing my views on where the North begins and ends (see thoughts on football above). Shaun gave viewers a summary of the summer-long celebration on the beautiful banks of the River Tyne, including giant water sculptures, Stephenson’s Rocket and some northern people singing. Well, I think they were northern and not from <edited out, see thoughts on football> anyhow, if you can find it on catch up, it’s a nice watch. Looking forward, if the action from Russia isn’t your thing, Managing England: The Impossible Job (BBC2, Saturday) probably isn’t either, so you might want to sail with Titanic on Channel 4, Saturday evening or join Channel 5 for some Dirty Dancing on Sunday night. Next week sees some of the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage pushed to BBC2, yes to allow the main channel to show the football, but there is plenty of coverage of the tennis - and just to balance the sport out a little bit, the brilliant Ackley Bridge continues on Channel 4, Tuesday evening. Happy Viewing.

Thinking of joining the boom in cruising? Christina Sharp GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL christina@globelink.co.uk.
ARE you, or any of your family or friends thinking of taking a cruise holiday this year? Did you know that the popularity of cruise breaks has boomed in recent years, with more choice available than ever before to suit all budgets? Once seen as the choice of the rich, or more mature traveller, cruises now offer outstanding value, for all ages. According to the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA), over 14 per cent of Brits are considering a cruise break this year, with European river cruises being the fastest growing option. All-inclusive cruises are also a topfavourite with families and senior travellers as a way of reducing risks around currency fluctuations and minimising holiday budgeting stress, amidst ongoing Brexit drama. But before you get carried off on a wave of excitement at choosing your cruise break, be warned that your travel insurance may
INSURANCE: Consider the correct option when cruising. not cover you if you fall ill or have to cancel your holiday. • Less than 50 per cent of travel policies cover cruise trips. • You may have to pay an extra premium for this cover. • You could get a gigantic medical or evacuation bill if you fall ill. • Your costs if you have to cancel or curtail your trip won’t be covered. Even with the best planning, things do go wrong, so don’t take the risk of travelling without the right travel insurance cover in
place. The likelihood of contracting a contagious infection increase significantly while on board a ship. And while all cruises will have medical facilities, these may not be sufficient if you are seriously ill or injured and require to be evacuated to the nearest suitable land-based medical facility which will cost thousands. Cancelling or cutting short your cruise due to an emergency back home, could result in losing the costs of your holiday if you don’t take out the right cover.
Globelink covers cruises as standard on all policies, so there’s no need to pay extra for that essential peace of mind. Globelink also cover 50 pre-existing medical conditions and 100 adventure activities for free, so you can try out the mindboggling array of activities most cruises offer from rock climbing, salsa, surfing, yoga and we’ll have you covered. Finally, save money and be a savvy traveller by not simply opting for the tour operator, or cruise company insurance option. These are often more expensive and may not suit your insurance needs. Whether you chose a firm favourite Mediterranean cruise, or go long-haul to the Caribbean, or the Far East, do the sensible thing and get the right insurance in place. Do this as soon as you’ve booked your trip to safeguard your deposits and don’t forget to check the latest advice from the FCO at www.gov.uk/travelaware.

Hoard it through the grapevine
Waste not
Consuming so much stuff is bad for our waste-line, says Terence Kennedy
TECH FOR THE TIMID OLD gadgets never die; they just linger in the attic. At least mine do. And my desk drawer spews digital detritus at the slightest incursion. What we keep ‘just in case’ we might find a use for it one day is bad enough. What’s worse is how much we do actually ditch in today’s manically throwaway society. A growing mountain of electronic waste is the dilemma that dare not speak its name as we scramble for ever-shinier new stuff. Trouble is, noone wants the old. Except those monstrous e-waste dumps blighting lives in China, Bangladesh, Ghana and the like. The sad truth is that we’re discarding nearly 10 per cent more e-waste
every year now, 45 million tonnes of it, never mind what still lurks in our sheds and drawers. We could feel better if the precious metals were being recovered and recycled, but dream on, only a very small share of the gold, silver, copper, platinum and palladium is actually extracted for reuse. I realised just how throwaway it’s all getting when I tried to claim on the ‘lifetime guarantee’ which came with a particularly expensive and prematurely deceased device. Turns out the guarantee was for the life of the device, not mine. So as good citizens of the world, what should we do with all our old estuff when new toys beckon? If it’s not too far gone we could sell it on sites like the Spanish eBay or Milanuncios.com, or through the classifieds in esteemed publications like this one, or to second-hand shops.
YOU’VE GOT MAIL: New uses for old. We could invoke a feel-good factor by giving it to charity or a collection for the developing world, though I suspect even Africa wouldn’t want my ancient Nokia 1100. What we shouldn’t do, at least with small devices, is just turf them in the bin, unless it’s the dedicated ‘small devices’ recycling box you’ll find at some major retailers. I’m sure you’re aware that the shops which sell us the big stuff, socalled white goods, are now obliged by law to take the old ones back, without charge, so don’t let them tell
Weekend break - almost! Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man EVERY time I go back to England I remind myself of why I love living in Spain. Plus I have decided that I’m only going back for nice things. This time it was for a friends’ 50th wedding anniversary and I’ll come back to the party bit in a minute. We decided to just go for a weekend, Friday to Monday. That’s a mistake I won’t make again. Do not fly into London arriving at 3 o’clock on a Friday. We were meeting a friend of ours at 7pm for dinner at my favourite deli in Borehamwood. It’s a 38-mile drive from Stansted airport which is normally a 45minute journey. Not on a Friday afternoon on the M25! By 7 o’clock we still hadn’t arrived at the hotel four hours after landing! Then, to put the icing on the cake, my mate phoned me to tell me the deli had closed down so we couldn’t eat there anyway. Not a happy bunny I can tell you. So he booked a place called Miller and Carter which is a relatively new chain of steak restaurants. It was overpriced and not all that great but, of course, I’m comparing it to all

the fantastic steak places we have here. But anyway it was good to see my friend and his family. I haven’t forgotten the party but I’m skipping to Sunday, which was Father’s Day and we were going to meet our daughter for lunch at 3 o’clock. She lives about 50 miles away from where we were staying which should have taken an hour but it didn’t. It took us two hours but we had a nice lunch then went back to hers for a cuppa then we drove back to Stansted to stay overnight for our early morning flight home. That took another two and a half hours for a 50 minute journey! OK, the party, it was great to see so many people that I hadn’t seen for years. There were a couple of observations. How come all these friends have got old and I haven’t? And the other thing was, unlike the parties we used to have where we ate and drank and danced for hours, this was at lunch time and everything was done in ten minute increments. A short welcome speech then ten minutes of dancing because no-one can manage more than that. Then the food, then ten minutes of speeches so no one had time to nod off, then another ten minutes of dancing. It was utterly brilliant! And guess what, the food was all deli food so in the end I actually got what I wanted. Perfect. mikesenker@gmail.com
you otherwise. And of course it goes without saying that to prevent hazardous chemicals and acids leaching into our precious soil and groundwater, we should never get rid of old batteries, or printer cartridges, anywhere except in their recycling bins. One thing I certainly wouldn’t do in the interests of re-using our stuff, is to charge non-rechargeable batteries in a powerful fast-charger, as a rather geeky friend recently did. He appreciated the flowers we took him in hospital.
REPURPOSING is one thing you can do with old tech when you’ve bought a sexier new model. I have an early Nokia smartphone repurposed as a portable podcast player with a speaker. Some people keep old phones charged in their car for emergencies, given that you can call 112 without a SIM-card. Others have had all s o r t s o f re p u r p o s i n g brainwaves, including a desk fan from an old comp u t e r p o w e r s u p p l y, a m a i l b o x f ro m a d e f u n c t computer tower (shown h e re ) , a n o l d l a p t o p a s a digital photo frame and a web-cam as a home security system. N o t s u re t h o u g h h o w I feel about one particularly oddball idea: feeding sausage through the central hole in a traditional CD drive tray to turn it into a meat slicer…

Marbella mayor thanks EWN for support AS mayor of Marbella, I want to thank you for attending the meeting we recently held with representatives of the international resident community at Adolfo Suarez Congress Hall. It was undoubtedly a very constructive meeting in which we outlined the main policies that the city council is going to undertake and also where we became aware of your main demands and suggestions, with the aim of continuing to offer a service that matches your needs. Marbella is a meeting point for 143 nationalities. This is a challenge, an asset and an added value to any city. We want you to be a relevant part of our city and to feel that its management is something of your interest and competence. We would also like to take advantage of your experience

WHEN we came to live permanently in this wonderful city of Benidorm some four years ago there were several city council employed road sweepers and cleaners patrolling and cleaning the pavements every day. They managed, against the odds, to do a good job of clearing up after thoughtless visitors, and indeed some locals who deposit their unwanted rubbish anywhere except the provided bins. I won’t go into disgusting dog owners who allow their dogs to foul the pavements in every area, every night. Just recently there has been a distinct lack of road sweepers and cleaners and when on my walks around numerous parts of Benidorm I’ve noticed a build-up of litter including plastic bags, discarded cigarette packets, empty beer cans, numerous designs of leaflets, half empty plastic beer glasses and loads of dog mess. Has the local council dismissed the men/women who sweep our streets? The whole city of Benidorm is looking shabby and smells from the bins, especially the bottle banks, is horrendous since the

That’s why I encourage you to continue collaborating with the city council in order to continue building a great Marbella.

Brit expat living next to ‘illegal zoo’ Dear David and Mandy, Sorry to hear your story which is worse than ours. We too have had similar problems during five years in Alfaz del Pi. We were helped by ‘Somos Gos’ which is an animal defender association. We also asked for help from a political party which is in the opposition as well as ‘El Defensor del Pueblo’ and el ‘Sindic de Greuges’ although these two last ones will tell the Ayuntamiento what to do but have no authority to oblige them to execute the rules and regulations. If all of this doesn’t work you’ll have to take a lawyer and bring this case into justice. I hope that with these little advices you’ll be able to improve the situation. Good luck! Berger Micheline If he has no licence how come they can’t take action and take thr animals to a proper sanctuary. Pat Ward This is typical of most of the councils always excuses. This needs sorting. Colin Carter Hopefully these animals can either be released back into the wild or given to local zoos who can look after them properly. Zara Mária
Comments from EWN online Magaluf clamps down on boozy Brits Apparently brought this into Marbella. We will wait and see if it’s enforced. Nothing worse than in a cafe/restaurant away from the beach and sweaty bodies on seats. Norma Bell Yes, couldn't agree more, but the last yobs I saw a video of were Netherlanders. I hope this applies to all yobs and hooligans no matter what their nationality. Sandra Lyons Well done but double the fine for the 2nd time. Hit them in the pocket. Bob Saunders Good, it’s time they behaved and stopped making all respectable Brits tarred with the same brush. Rhoda Johnson
Alan Sugar in race storm It’s funny, crazy that we have to think about every word we say. The Senegal guys around here are brilliant, polite, not pushy and always smiling. What he said is meant with zero harm on any of them. I’m sure they would have a laugh about it as well. The world has gone bonkers! Deb Morgan Unfunny. Try saying something about the Israeli team to him and see what response you get. He can’t have it both ways. Suz Roffe
Spain to scrap toll road fees I have no problem paying the toll on the Costa del Sol AP-7 autopista to avoid congestion, but i absolutely disagree with adding a ‘special’ tariff for four months of the year that nearly doubles the cost of using it. Surely when the summer is here and there are many more cars, they should be encouraging motorists to stay off the A7 which causes congestion through the towns, but no they do the complete opposite. Leigh Hobson The town hall of Marbella need to put pressure on the government to scrap or at least reduce toll road fees by at least 50 percent. Help reduce the traffic problems we have. Giovanni Messina
weather is getting hotter by the day. Now that Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey are offering cheap holidays to entice tourists back it is doubly important to offer our great city as a more affordable, cleaner place to visit. Steve Mangan, Benidorm
Toll road rip off WE decided to take a trip to Gibraltar via the toll road last week. Although we have used this road several times before and although it is never busy on this occasion we only came across a few cars, however after paying all three tolls we understood why. The total cost was €15.90 therefore the round trip was €31.80. When is somebody going to do something about this total rip off? Les, Torreblanca, Fuengirola Editor’s note: The prices on that section of the motorway increase by around 50 per cent from June 1 to the end of September every year.
Seeking advice MY family and I lived and worked in Spain for 17 years and came back in 2012. We had nominas and autominos employment. Can anyone help me to find out if I can get a presupuesto/estimate of what pensions entitlements we can expect, based upon the contributions to the system we made? I have look on the social security website without success. Philip Shaw, Back in Spain
Great work PLEASE thank David Noon for his great article on Spain’s cycling and walking network. Here in Mojacar we used to have a great walking network linking the various cortijos in the Sierra Cabrera Mountains. A map of the tracks resembled the London tube map. In September 2012 we had the mother of all storms. A lot of the tracks were damaged but we can’t get to repair them because the dirt road to the starting points needs a JCB to clear it. We have been asking the town hall for this work to be carried out but after six years, nothing has been done. It seems that a lot of areas in Spain promote hiking but not Mojacar.

Sometimes you wonder why people make promises when they find them so hard to keep. However, losing your temper with someone midweek will not help at all because the person you are dealing with is not very sensitive. Patience will pay off and, by the weekend, a weight will have been lifted from your mind.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Somehow you seem to be going every which way round a situation but getting nowhere. Rather than burn yourself out and fray your nerves, just stay still. At the end of the day, someone else wants to solve this dilemma as much as you do. When they see that you have stopped bothering, maybe they will start.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) It’s not so difficult this week to get exactly what you want. Being sure is another matter, however. There are plenty of people who will cast doubts on where you are going and what you are aiming for. What do they know? Be guided by facts this week, certainly not by the opinions of others.

As you are in the middle of a plan, it would be a shame to stop now. Yes, I realise you have given it lots of time and thought. Even so, events midweek bring a new perspective. Your involvement in something entirely different may be brought to bear on your current situation. Killing two birds with one stone comes to
mind. Be efficient by approaching the problem from a novel angle.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Something has come to your attention and, quite frankly, you don’t understand what is going on. It is possible that, if you don’t react, the situation will just go away. Equally, you may want to influence the outcome and fear that it will not be to your advantage. That is fine so long as you really do try and get all the facts first.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You seem to be in a ‘plodding’ situation that is starting to cause you some irritation. That is all that it is though, irritation. See it as a big dilemma and it throws up all sorts of anxieties. Let’s not go there. I am sure that there are lots of things that your mind and body can work on while you wait.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) You are being shown a great deal of affection which may be taken for granted. Even you are capable of putting people’s backs up. As you dislike making enemies, I suggest that you take a little more time with family and loved ones. Perhaps you were recently asked to be part of a group activity but did not have the inclination?
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) By deciding now that you will not rise to the bait on a certain matter you are taking the best option. Much as you would like to confront someone head on, it is possible that this is just what they want you to do. Be a little bit canny here.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Are you being asked to open your heart? What are you most afraid of about that? On the other hand, what would the rewards be if you did? Sometimes, we have to take a chance that others will not let us down or, at least that if they do, they will let us down gently.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) As you try to control someone else’s life, it could be that your own is slipping past you. Have you recently given up on a relationship or job that you dearly would have loved?

A little hope A RECENT study carried out by Cancer Research UK has shown that asp i r i n c a n h e l p b lo c k tu mours from being formed. The research is published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research, shows that aspirin works to help hinder the development of bowel cancer.
It was previously known that the painkiller reduced the risk of dev e lo p in g co lo n c a nc e r, but its properties to fight off other tumours wasn’t entirely understood before. This same process is linked to diseases such as Alzheimer’s and
Pa rkins on’s a nd s o furthe r re search could prove invaluable for the future prevention of these diseases. Cells grown in the lab and on tumour biopsies removed from colon cancer patients were tested to see what effect aspirin had on them.
The change of life A RECENT study suggests that a diet high in carbs could mean that a woman begins her menopause earlier in life. The study carried out by the University of Leeds found that a diet rich in pasta and rice was
linked to hitting the menopause 18 months earlier than the UK average of 51 years. The study of 914 women in the UK also found that women who ate more oily fish, peas, lentils and beans may actually
start their menopause 18 months later in life. Scientists believe the antioxidants contained in legumes may mean women menstruate for longer. With the omega-3 fatty acids which are contained in oily fish having the same affect. Carbs, on the other hand, can play a role in boosting oestrogen levels. This could mean that a woman has a higher number of menstruations over her lifetime and cause her egg supply to run out earlier. The research is important because women who go through the menopause early are at increased risk of osteoporosis and heart disease.
&
DETERRENT: Research found that aspirin can block the formation of tumours.
Scientists involved in the research found that the painkiller impedes a key process in the formation of tumours. However, the results were not universal and it was found that not all bowel cancer patients responded to aspirin.
But the hope is that the new research will help to identify those who are most likely to benefit. But don’t start popping aspirin as a preventative measure. The long-term use of this drug is not recommended because of some of its side-effects.
ACL problems - the quickest way back to your sport ACL issues are common in many athletes, professional or keen amateur - sudden twisting, over extension, falls, a bad landing or sudden stops ... these can all cause ligament injuries. And only one in three patients return to their sport. What is the ACL? A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that joins bones together in a joint. The ACL is the anterior cruciate ligament and connects the thigh bone to the shin bone in the knee. It is one of four key sets of ligaments in the knee, the others are: • The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the second set of ligaments connecting the thigh bone to the shin bone. • The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) connects the thigh bone to the fibula, the smaller bone on the outside
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com of the lower leg. • The medial collateral ligament (MCL) also connects the thigh bone to the shin bone on the inside of the knee. Should I have surgery? The honest answer is - it doesn’t matter. The most recent research on recovery rates shows no difference between those patients who opted for surgery and those who chose to just do physiotherapy and rehabilitation. I double checked these results as I had always been taught that for severe tears the best route was surgery (com-
bined with physio obviously!). Nope, regardless of severity there was no difference. So what does make a difference? Speed - getting a quick, accurate diagnosis so that you start work as quickly as possible and do no further damage. Ligaments are typically slow to heal. They need lots of support while they are doing it as they don’t have a great blood supply so this means it takes time for the ‘good stuff’ to get in. I’ve found that using MRT and Dr D K Shelbourne’s Accelerated Rehabilitation programme can reduce recovery time to weeks as opposed to the usual months. Support the knee correctly so that you place the least strain on the ligaments while they are healing. This also prevents future injuries.

Cancer treatments PET scans SEVERAL studies have shown the gre a t c linic a l impa c t of the PET technique in oncology. It is a highly trie d a nd te s te d imaging technique for studying the spread of cancer because it identifies where the disease is located and how widespread it is. In patients with colorectal cancer, lung neoplasm, malignant melanoma and lymphoma, this technique may change the therapeutic strategy to be followed in up to 40 per cent of the cases studied. It is therefore an indispensable tool to be used before proceeding with the surgical removal of a tumour. Results from PET scans help with a better treatment approach and increase the chances of a cure. Recent research, led by Doctor Aurora Crespo of the Oncology Department at Quironsalud Torrevieja Hospital, reveals that the technique of using a PET scan with glucose helps to predict a tumour ’s behaviour.

NEWS that Heinz is set to ditch its iconic name Salad Cream in favour of ‘Sandwich Cream,’ in the biggest shake-up of its 104-year-old history, comes after the snack giant revealed just 14 per cent of people actually drizzle it over, err, salad. According to its own research, the name no longer 'fairly represents the product’s ingredients or usage occasions’ as the under-30’s prefer to plaster the stuff everywhere else, over tuna, ham or cheese in sandwiches or as an alternative to mayonnaise for chips. But Heinz has form in rebranding. In 2000, it re-launched its Salad Cream by having Graham Norton squeeze it all over Denise van Outen’s chest. She reciprocated by having Norton eat a dollop from the end of what looked like a very large sausage. And in 2008, it renamed ‘Heinz Baked Beans’ as
Why everyone is in a pickle over salad cream SAY GOODBYE: Heinz Salad Cream will soon be known as Sandwich Cream. ‘Heinz Beanz’ as they aren’t actually ‘baked’ but stewed and the original title was ‘a bit of a mouthful to pronounce,’ according to the company. Well, consumers have already taken to Twitter to vent their frustrations and it remains to be seen if Heinz Salad Cream goes the same way as ‘Choco Krispies.’ You may recall Kellogg’s renamed ‘Coco Pops’ to ‘Choco Krispies’ in 1998. But the move received such media attention and public outcry that by popular demand it soon changed back to ‘Coco Pops’. Re-branding, is of course, not new in these more health-conscious times. ‘Sugar
Puffs’, the honey-flavoured breakfast cereal made from sugar-coated wheat, discreetly dumped the word sugar in 2014, and is now known as ‘Honey Monster Puffs.’ ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken’ prefers to be known simply as ‘KFC’ (presumably to gloss over the less-than-healthy ‘fried’ bit). Similarly, Coke Zero was replaced with a ‘new and improved’ ‘Coca-Cola Zero Sugar’ drink. A friend of mine loves salad cream on pizza, scotch eggs, new potatoes, pickles, crisps and quiche, as well as in sandwiches and on chips. As someone who’s never taken to it, I find this takes the, err, biscuit. What about you? Where do you stand on the salad vs. sandwich cream debate?

LEGALLY SPEAKING Problems with committee We recently had our AGM where a new president was unanimously elected. We also voted to have four committee members. Two of the committee members are now in constant conflict with the president, stating that he has no right to send out emails informing owners of various community laws without first having spoken to the committee members. Is this correct? My understanding is that the president is the legal representative of the community and has the right to send out emails and deal with other aspects of the community as necessary. A meeting of the committee members does not have to be called prior to this. The committee members are there to help the president. Can the president remove the committee members or is an EGM necessary? L.Y.

A different use for a bullring Credit: ub40.org twitter
ENTERTAINMENT is going to be ramped up in Estepona this summer as the council has appointed a new management company to look after the bullring and a whole series of different acts have been announced for the summer.
“
The town is going to buzz to the sound of the trio who hail from Birmingham.
Although the majority of the acts announced so far are mainly Spanish, there is still quite a lot to appeal to an expatriate audience with appearances by Flamenco singer Nina Pastori in July and Diego El Cigala in August followed by a night of Hardcore Modern Mozart Heroes as well as Freestyle Moto Cross and Andalucian Horses. The big draw for British visitors will be UB40 who appear on August 16 celebrating their 40th anniversary since originally getting together. Due to internal differences, the three

brothers who played in the band have fallen out and this version only includes three of the original members, but arguably they are the most recognisable. Pr obabl y m ost associ at ed wi t h t he band’s 50 hit singles is Ali Campbell who left the band in 2008 and has since been in litigation with his two brothers over use of the name UB40 with each brother claiming rights to the name, although it has never been legally registered. In order to ensure there can be no accusations of trying to confuse the potential audience, the band appearing in Estepona is touring under the name UB40, featuring Ali, Astro and Mickey. With so many great hits over the years, the town is going to buzz to the reggae inspi r ed sound of t he t r i o who hai l f r om Birmingham via Jamaica together with their backing musicians in what is likely to be one of only three Spanish appearances this year.

CRAIG DAVID: Plays to an enthusiastic crowd.

It was quite a day as a huge audience of bikini clad girls and young men in trunks enjoyed the sounds and the general vibes of this master of music. It is early in the summer but this could prove to be the most successful pool party of the year. It was a sunny day by the beach with a very attractive pool and hot tub, great food a well-stocked bar and Craig David bringing his highly successful TS5 project back to Marbella, so it would be very difficult to have asked for more.

Keeping traditions alive TO coincide with the forthcoming Las Lagunas Fiesta, the Mijas Council is supporting the sixth Cantes de la Trilla presentation at 11am next Sunday. The exhibition will be held at Cortijo Don Elías, home of the Unión del Cante flamenco peña, and will host traditional songs from La Trilla with the voice of Sebastián Navas and Enrique Heredia’s guitar. La Trilla is a traditional song performed by workers during haymaking and it is the intention of the council and the peña (flamenco club) that this part of Andalucian folk music history
is not forgotten or lost forever. As part of the presentation which will involve Salvador Porras there will be a performance by the brightly dressed troupe known as the Panda de Verdiales of Puerto de la Torre. During the event, the ancient art of threshing in order to obtain grain suitable for milling into flour will be demonstrated and may well come as something of a surprise to those who only understand the concept of purchasing ready-made flour. Alert to the problems of sunlight, the council has erected an awning in Cortijo Don Elías.

GARDENS
Trees make summer gardens DICK HANDSCOMBE FEW really enjoyable Spanish gardens are without trees, especially during the summer months. So over the next few months decide whether you need more, where and of which varieties. A mix of trees can jointly provide: a. A continuous stream of new colours in the garden canopy and in the undergrowth. b. Shade during the hottest part of the day. c. Shelter for birds and insects and a source of grubs for their food. d. Strong safe branches for supporting hammocks and sky chairs. e. Pruned twigs and logs for the winter fires and Mexican oven fires. Meeting those needs will depend on three things: 1. Luck that your builder or previous owners were wise to retain healthy and safe trees, perhaps even some wonderfully-shaped ancient trees. 2. Whether the previous owners of your property planted some well-locat-
BRANCHING OUT: Jacarandas are very attractive when flowering. ed trees and cared for them well. 3. Your own choice and location of trees in developing a new garden or improving an existing garden. First, evaluate your existing stock of trees and decide which you want to keep and those that can be dispensed of. If the house is about to be constructed negotiate with the builder that he will minimise the percentage of the plot used for the storage of materials and machinery and the building itself in or-
WITH summer on the doorstep you may already be spending a lot more time in your garden. So why not invest a little and create somewhere where you really long to be. A g rea t ad d itio n to any garden is a well thought out patio area. Such a feature can offer your garden a fo-
der to minimise the number of trees that are felled or damaged during construction. Unfortunately tree protection laws and regulations are not as widespread or as stringent in Spain as in the UK. If you are lucky you will have inherited a good number of trees providing ample shade and semi-shade. They may be oaks, pines, carobs, fruit and nut
trees such as almonds, avocados, olives, cherries, mulberries, and walnuts, or flowering trees such as acacias, albizias, cercis, parkinsonias, magnolias, or jacarandas. You may find that you have some small self-seeded trees that can be trimmed as informal bonsais by leaving them in situ. Part four of Your Garden in Spain, from planning to planting and maintenance includes a good selection of flowering, fruiting and evergreen trees to choose from. Make your choices on the basis of: • The quality of shade. • Leaf, flower and trunk colours. • The time and length of the flowering season. • The extent of perfume emitted. • The probability of being able to harvest edible fruit. • The speed of growth and mature size, especially important in small gardens, and most importantly if you aim for a minimum maintenance garden. • The extent of dirty fall outs of leaves, fruit, pollen and in the case of
pine trees their needles. In general deep summer shade is worth the inconvenience of having to sweep up leaves. • Their frost hardiness. • Their speed of growth. Trees can obviously be planted as part of a boundary hedge, as isolated specimens, as copses or as formal/informal orchards in the case of fruit trees. Beware of the dangers of planting trees too near the pool or the walls of buildings and think about what would happen if a mature tree was to be blown down in a storm. When you get round to planting your new trees prepare planting holes at least twice the size of the pot in which a tree comes in and work plenty of rotted compost and manure into the base of the hole before planting. Stake securely to avoid wind damage and water well until established. The amount of water required by mature trees can vary from nil to copious depending on your ambient temperatures, exposure to hot winds, water retaining power of your soil and the needs for producing good fruit. Best of luck as your garden grows.
The perfect patio cal point. If you decide to lay a patio it is always advisable to use professionals for the task. However, there are
s ome things tha t you c a n plan yourself to make sure your patio is a wonderful asset which provides a beautiful yet functional area
all year around. Begin by having a think about the purpose of your patio. Is it simply to create a romantic setting for two or a large social area for the family? Think about if you would like to have the sun in the morning with coffee or in the evening with your afternoon gin and tonic. You al so need t o t hi nk about privacy. You won’t want all your conversations
t o be over hear d by t he neighbours, or that fleeting kiss in a romantic dinner for two, to have an audience. If you need to create some privacy around the patio, you could introduce a trellis or pergola, for example. A pergola is also an unobtrusive way to incorporate down-lighting which is particularly useful is you are planning on spending a few late nights over the table.

Allergies and tinned food David THE Dogman columnists@ewnmediagroup.com
FOOD allergies can cause dermatological discomfort. It has been estimated that at least one per cent of all skin problems in cats and dogs are caused by dietary allergies. These can be triggered in minutes, hours or days. Sensitivity to an allergy caused by a protein can often be life-long. Some dogs can digest the lactose in cow’s milk while the undigested lactose quickly produces an upset stomach with others. This is not a true allergy but demonstrates how sensitive to certain food pets can be. Stop the milk. Most dogs react in some way to incorrect feeding and, apart from allergic reactions, flatulence and inconsistent stool quality, large smelly motions can result. If the balance of the food is incorrect, hyperactivity or indeed low activity can be the consequence. High values of soya and/or wheat could result in a low oil level - on average about 2.3 per cent - and a dog needs three times that amount. Protein used up for energy can produce a loss of coat and skin vitality. Many owners give far too many vitamins. A well balanced diet should not have to be supplemented. Scratching and licking could be an indication of an allergic reaction to food and the eating of grass, twigs and roots some-

Comfortable summer safety SUMMER has officially arrived, so long hot days on the open road might be on the agenda. However, if you take your pet with you, you’ll want to keep your loved one safe and comfortable. So, take these few suggestions on board for your travels. Use a tote bag if you want to carry your pet and save its delicate feet from walking on the hot pavement or sand. Your little loved one will love the thrill. Don’t break your back, however, and only carry small lighter pets… not your Doberman. If you decide to use public transport, place your pet in a pet carrier. These offer your precious pet a breathable enclosed space within which they can catch 40 winks without bothering people. On the other hand, if you’re heading off in your car then installing an adjustable seat belt will offer you and your pet safety when you’re behind the wheel. In the event that you come to a sudden stop, your pooch won’t be thrown forward upon impact, hurting himself
STAY SAFE: Use a pet carrier. and possibly you and your other passengers. And don’t forget, to keep your pet cool in the sun by putting a cooling gel collar around its neck. Keep it in the freezer when not in use and the gel will retain its coolness when the temperature soars.
Fancy a spot of cat-sitting? times is an indication that the food is not being digested properly. The destruction of fibre-based material could be another sign that there is a craving for fibre to help the digestive process in some way. Many pet shops and vets are now selling artificial bones. Beware of anything coloured since this must have an additive. I would only buy one which had a label stating what chemicals had been added. These toys have been known to cause hyperactivity and low activity. If your dog needs something to chew, try a rope or Kong stuffed with goodies which can occupy your pet for hours. Concerning tinned food, the profits to be made from selling tinned pet foods are highlighted by the immense sums spent by some manufacturers on advertising their products. When the water or moisture content can be as high as 80 per cent, this makes a tin of dog food the
JELLY GOOD: Tinned dog food can have up to 80 per cent water content. most expensive way of buying water in the world. The one advantage tinned food has over other food is that there is no need for the dog to drink so much water The manufacturers rely a great deal on anthropomorphism with their advertising, persuading humans that dogs are going to like the taste of the many varieties available better than a good meal which has all the necessary ingredients to keep the dog healthy. They ignore the fact that a dog’s taste buds are five times lower than those of a human. Empty a tin of dog food. Doesn’t that meat jelly look good? But has it been produced by mixing an indigestible gelling agent with water plus a bit of colouring thrown in?
MILO needs a sitter - can you help? Milo is a well-travelled cat, having come over from Hastings on his own with a specialist pet transportation company. He did well and has begun to settle into life in his new home near Marbella. However, his human mum is worried that leaving him again when she goes on holiday this August might disrupt his sense of wellbeing having just settled in to their new Spanish home and garden. So, she is looking for a cat-sitter to stay with and be a companion to Milo this August. Cat-sitters give peace of mind. Lisa his owner says it took him a few weeks in the house before he was calm and settled. He had already moved house with them once in the UK, yet
he was still a little unsettled at first. After a couple of months of management of his routine she said he was calm and relaxed and enjoying his new life in Spain.

MAN UP: One of SPV’s Ligier JS P3 cars at Le Mans.
SPV Racing on the march SPANISH motor-racing team SPV has hit top gear. The Costa del Sol-based outfit entered a pair of Ligier JS P3 cars in the two Road to Le Mans LMP3 class races which took place ahead of this year’s 24-hour event at the world famous circuit. Forming part of the 2018 European Le Mans Series, the 55minute contests saw a bumper 50car grid battle it out, with SPV’s best finish 18th in race one, although the number 44 car finished ninth in qualifying for race two. Speaking exclusively to Euro Weekly News team manager manager Lars GV Linberg said: “The pace was good, the cars were good, the team was good, we were just bl**dy unlucky!” The next round of the championship takes place on July 22 at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. Earlier, the team’s new Mercedes SLS AMG GT4 crossed the
line first in the third round of the Spanish CER-GT championship in Navarra, where it also entered an Audi RS8 V10 GT4 car. And in Barcelona, Electric GT Holdings Inc. and SPV unveiled the world’s first race-ready version of the EPCS V2.3 Tesla P100DL ahead of the first season of its headline racing category, the Electric Production Car Series (EPCS). Finished in SPV Racing’s testing livery, the EPCS car completed a shakedown in the morning at Circuit de Barcelona-Cataluña, with SPV Racing development drivers Emma Kimilainen and Alvaro Fontes behind the wheel. Fifth Gear presenter Tiff Needell was also on hand to take the stunning car for a spin before it was then officially unveiled to partners and media at a reception in the centre of Barcelona. Lars said: “The car has been quite heavily modified by QEV
Tech, the team behind Mahindra Racing’s Formula E car. “All removable panels like doors and the bonnet have been replaced with a new kind of biofibre which is basically a specially-treated linen. “It is more flexible than carbon fibre and extremely light. “Driving the car is an unbelievable experience, and we expect it down on the Costa del Sol in two weeks ahead of November’s first race in Jerez.”
MAKING ITS MERC: The team’s Mercedes SLS AMG GT4 after coming home first in Navarra.
ELECTRIC DREAM: The world’s first raceready EPCS V2.3 Tesla P100DL.

MOTORING Classic Car Club of Andalucía
www.euroweeklynews.com
28 June - 4 July 2018
Dining & dancing CCCA style HE Annual Summer Ball The Hotel Tamisa Golf came alive last week with the sound of fun and frivolity as the CCCA arrived to enjoy its annual Summer Ball. Kicking off with an hour of Cava and Canapés over 100 CCCA members were going to enjoy themselves before dining ‘al fresco’ under the stars, seated around the beautiful swimming pool there with Mijas Golf course as the backdrop. An excellent three-course dinner was served and, after the main course, entertainment was provided by one of the Coast’s top musical wizards, Ricky Lavazza. The fun continued until the early hours and the hotel was packed with revellers staying the night and enjoying a somewhat bleary-eyed breakfast together the following morning. Always a fabulous event, this year was certainly no exception!
T
The June Classic Car Run Earlier that week the Club enjoyed a spectacular classic car run organised by Club President, Ian Giles. This was reported in the last issue of the Euro Weekly News. The Noche de San Juan Whilst certainly not a motoring event, the Club has always organised a party for the Noche de San Juan, usually at the La Familia Beach Club in Torrenueva, near La Cala. This year around 40 members turned out to enjoy a superb fish dinner and watch the bonfires, the hot coals dancing and marvel at all those going in to the sea for the traditional midnight dip. In fact, a number of members joined in the tradition and could be seen splashing around in the water, although not too far from the shore! Quite a party ensued and it was great to see everyone mixing with not only fellow CCCA members but enjoying the company of local Spanish people and tourists alike. The latter wondering what on earth was going on!

JEC June run THE JEC (Jaguar Enthusiasts Club) is getting well established amongst both the classic and modern car fraternity and has its own ‘Costa del Sol’ chapter. They are putting on excellent runs in a similar style to the CCCA each month and the events are well supported. Mostly organised by Philip and Jenny Wray who put on the June event which started just east of Malaga. Departing at 11.00am last Saturday the crews took to the mountains to the north east of Malaga where some fabulous roads were enjoyed along with spectacular scenery. A coffee stop en route followed by a second stop for some refreshing Cava where some amazing views were enjoyed by all was a fitting reward for a mere €10 entry fee. Lunch was arranged at the Asador la Maroma in Canillas de Aceituna in the foothills of Mount Maroma which was a great treat for all.

World Cup 2018
Late Group B drama IAGO ASPAS scored a stoppage-time equaliser, with the aid of VAR, as Spain scraped an unconvincing draw with Morocco to top Group B and secure a World Cup last-16 tie against hosts Russia. Youssef En-Nesyri - who plays in Spain for Malaga looked to have won it for Herve Renard’s side when he powered in a superb header from fellow substitute Faycal Fajr’s corner. But Aspas flicked in Dani Carvajal’s low cross to make it 2-2, with referee Ravshan Irmatov initially disallowing the goal before overturning the decision. After all the drama Spain won the group on goals scored, extending their unbeaten run to 23 games, while Portugal were held to a 1-1 draw by Iran to finish in second and set up a date with Uruguay. Three games into his international managerial career,
LEWIS HAMILTON reclaimed the world championship lead with a dominant victory in the French Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver led from start to finish apart from one lap around his pit stop, to move 14 points ahead of Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, who finished fifth. Vettel got straight into trouble in a collision at the first corner with Hamilton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas. The German fought back through the field impressively, but earned a five second penalty for causing the crash, which put both to the back of the field. It was a costly error for Vettel, who was one point ahead of Hamilton before the race, and is one of several uncharacteristic mistakes this year that has lost him ground in the championship. Hamilton will welcome the gift from Vettel at the start of a crucial run of three races in three weeks, one of them being the British Grand Prix in two weeks’ time. The Briton made a good enough start to be just clear of the crash between Vettel and

GARETH SOUTHGATE is ready to give star striker Harry Kane the chance to pull ahead in the race for the Golden Boot against Belgium tonight (Thursday). The England manager will make changes to the team who thrashed Panama 6-1 on Sunday, and admitted he would leave out Kane if he felt it would benefit the team. However, Southgate is mindful of his prolific marksman’s ambition to finish as the World Cup’s top goalscorer, and is preparing to start Kane in
WINNING HABIT: Matt Wallace is now a three-time winner on the European Tour.
Wallace on course RIDING HIGH: Rea is now well ahead in the standings. Rea carved his way through from ninth on the grid and passed his compatriot with 18 laps remaining, before pulling clear to take victory by five seconds from Ducati’s Davies. “I’m so happy,” said Rea. “The weekend went really well and the guys gave me
an even better bike today.” Yahama riders Alex Lowes and Michael van der Mark were fourth and fifth, with Spaniard Xavi Fores sixth. The next round of the championship will be staged at Misano in Italy in July 7 and 8.
ENGLAND’S Matt Wallace won his second European Tour event of the year with victory at the BMW International Open in Germany. Thorbjorn Olesen had set the clubhouse lead earlier in the day with an 11 under 61. Wallace, 28, reeled the Dane in with a bogeyless 65 and finished on 10 under to beat Olesen by a shot. Home favourite Martin Kaymer, who was tied for the overnight lead, finished level with Olesen and Mikko Korhonen. Olesen’s round was the lowest in the tournament’s history and the joint-lowest of the season. It was the third win of world number 91 Wallace’s career, coming on the back of victory at the
Kane to kick off Kaliningrad. “It is a really complex balance in any business where you are managing people,” said Southgate. “I am sure we can get the selection right.” The manager accepts that captain Kane’s poaching prowess offers England the best chance of winning the game, which will decide who finishes top of the group. The 24-year-old leads the
goalscoring charts with five, ahead of Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku, both on four. But with Portugal having already played three of their group games and Lukaku set to miss the clash with England due to an ankle injury, Kane has a chance to extend his lead. His Tottenham team-mate Danny Rose is also set to play, having so far been used for just
20 minutes against Panama. The fact Kyle Walker and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have picked up yellow cards and risk suspension will also be considered by Southgate. Kane is already only behind Gary Lineker (10) in terms of World Cup goals for England, and highlighted his ambition to win the Golden Boot before this year’s tournament started. Some have discussed whether England might be better off finishing second, to avoid Brazil or Germany in the next round. But Southgate dismissed the idea as “dangerous territory” and said: “I don’t know how we would go into a game not wanting to win and not wanting to
Hero Indian Open in March and the Open de Portugal in May 2017. “Obviously this gives me a lot of confidence to go on and play well and I want to kick on and hopefully do this in the bigger events from now on,” said Wallace. England’s Aaron Rai, another of the overnight leaders, finished in a tie for fifth on eight under, while compatriot Andy Sullivan was on six under. Mark Foster was tied with former Masters champion Sergio Garcia and Scotland’s Scott Jamieson on five under. Tommy Fleetwood, the US Open runner-up, finished on four over.
play well.” There is certainly room to make sensible selection changes, and still field a strong England side. The squad has plenty of ability that has yet to be used and game time for fringe players could be important as the World Cup progresses. England’s 6-1 demolition of Panama was their biggest win ever at a World Cup, and the finishing on show was a positive sign.
HAPPY AS HARRY: Kane is the World Cup’s leading goalscorer.

NORTHERN IRELAND’S Jonathan Rea completed his first double race win at Laguna Seca to extend his lead at the top of the World Superbike standings to 75 points. Rea’s victory in Sunday’s race was his 62nd career triumph in the series. The 31-year-old Kawasaki rider took his eighth win of the season, with Wales’ Chaz Davies second. Isle of Man based Rea becomes the first rider to win four World Superbike races at the California circuit. Rea is chasing a fourth consecutive world title to equal the career tally achieved by Englishman, Carl Fogarty. Early leader Eugene Laverty secured the final podium position on his Milwaukee Aprilia, his first topthree finish since returning to the series in 2017.
