By Joe Gerrard NATIONAL POLICE officers have arrested five suspects, of which three are British nationals, in connection with several hundred kilos of drugs worth millions found aboard a yacht in Ceuta. A total of 670 kilos of hashish were aboard the private hire vessel in the harbour of the Spanish African enclave. Police claimed those arrested had posed as tourists to stop police from catching them with the drugs that have an estimated street value of around €9 million. Officers said the vessel was preparing to sail for the mainland shortly before they raided it and made the arrests. Police detained the three British nationals along with a woman who accompanied them and a taxi driver who allegedly took them to Ceuta’s marina. All five were held on suspicion of drugs trafficking. The nationalities of the woman and taxi driver were not specified.

Brits held SEIZED: Officers found the drugs aboard a yacht in Ceuta. The five were arrested while loading the boat with what appeared to be supermarket bags. Officers thought the suspects looked suspicious, so they decided to search them and the vessel. “Those on board made several purchases in a supermarket in the city and took the bags back to the marina in a taxi. Their movements aroused the suspicion of the

officers,” a National Police spokesperson said. Once aboard they found 230 kilos of hashish stashed among plastic bags and hidden under foodstuffs. A further 440 kilos were found in various rooms on the boat and officers then made their arrest of the five suspects. Police said the hashish most likely came from Mo-

rocco and that they would have been hidden somewhere in Ceuta prior to being placed on board the yacht. The haul comes as police seized almost seven tons of marihuana from a British-led gang on the Costa del Sol in August. Officers claimed the ringleader was a British man who hid the drugs in his San Pedro de Alcantara home.

Shooting probe POLICE have launched an investigation into a shooting a car park outside a nightclub in Marbella which left two people injured. Officers said the two men, a Dutch and Belgian man, were leaving the nightclub, on Carretera de Istan, on the early hours of Sunday August 5. They headed for a nearby car park when someone opened fire on them. One was shot twice in the shoulder and the other was also hit in the chest. Both men were taken to hospital. Doctors there said their

wounds were not serious and they did not require emergency treatment. Officers probing the shooting believe it may have been gang-related. They have not ruled out other theories as the investigation continues.

Main suspect in Dutch boy’s murder arrested 20 years on in Spanish forest THE main suspect in the 1998 murder of an 11-year-old boy at a summer camp in the Netherlands has been arrested in a Spanish forest. Jos Brech, 55, was recognised by a Dutch tourist who tipped off police after seeing a photo of the man wanted in connection with the sexual assault and murder of Nicky Verstappen. The youngster had disappeared from the Brunssumerheide nature reserve overnight on August 9, 1998. His body was found nearby the next day. He had been sexually abused before he was killed, according to police. The detainee now faces extradition to the Netherlands within a few days. Brech became the main suspect in the murder after the investigation asked 16,000 males aged 40 to 65 from Limburg, the area of the murder, to voluntarily submit to a DNA test. Among the 2,000 who turned

As he had previously been questioned by police as a witness he quickly became a suspect. When Brech - said to be a survival expert who could hide out in remote locations - disappeared from the country without saying a word to his family or friends an international ar-

rest warrant was issued. Acting on information from a Dutch tourist, Spanish police arrested Brech in a forest about 50 miles from Barcelona. Originally Dutch and French police thought he may have been hiding out in the Vosges region where he owns a cabin. A search of his property allowed detectives to find DNA traces, which they say link him to the

killing of Verstappen. At the time of the murder police had launched a massive search, but the boy’s killer was never found. New techniques allowed police to garner DNA evidence from the boy’s clothes in 2008, but no matching specimen could be found - so earlier this year police asked 16,000 men to voluntarily give DNA samples.

AUTONOMY DAY: Ceuta marks it autonomous status this Sunday.

City celebrates THIS is Roberto Pla’s aerial view of Ceuta, one of Spain’s enclaves in Africa which celebrates its Day of Autonomy this coming Sunday. Lying only 14 kilometres from Cadiz and 28 kilometres across the Strait of Gibraltar from the British territory, Ceuta has been under Spanish rule since 1668. Ceuta is one of two Spanish autonomous cities, the other being the country’s other African enclave of Melilla. The cities have more powers than those on the mainland and have days to mark their status as Spain’s Autonomous Communities (regions) do. King John I of Portugal captured Ceuta from the

Kingdom of Fez after sailing for the city on August 21, with it being conquered the next day. Ceuta’s flag is similar to that of Portugal’s capital of Lisbon and it still bears the shield of the country. Portugal formed the Iberian Union with Spain in 1580, meaning all its overseas possessions were jointly run by both countries. The Iberian Union dissolved in 1640. By 1668 Ceuta was in Spanish hands after King Afonso VI of Portugal handed it to King Carlos II of Spain under the Treaty of Lisbon. Ceuta is now part of the Andalucia region. It was attached to Cadiz Province until autonomy was granted in March 1995.

Biker death A 40-YEAR-OLD motorcyclist has died following an accident on the A-7 motorway near Marbella. Andalucia’s 112 Emergency Services line said the crash took place at around 4pm last Saturday. It happened at kilometre 175 of the A-7 motorway at the entrance to the Puerto Banus tunnel. Guardia Civil officers and emergency personnel were despatched to the scene of the crash after the 112 line was notified of the inci-

dent. Emergency services sources said the 40-year-old rider had already died by the time medical personnel reached him. The accident took place due to the motorcyclist speeding. No other vehicles were involved in the crash and no other injuries were recorded, emergency services added. Traffic jams spanning several kilometres built up following the crash while Guardia Civil highway officers cleared the road.

Cab strike threat TAXI drivers in Malaga Province have said they may strike in September if Spain’s government does not keep its pledge on licensing rules amidst competition from ride hailing apps. The warning comes as the government in Madrid said in August it would devolve powers to grant licences to firms such as Uber and Cabify to regional authorities. It also follows claims that rules designed to ensure there could only be one ride hailing driver for

156

every 30 taxi drivers had been broken. Guillermo Diaz, a spokesperson for a Costa del Sol taxi drivers’ association, said authorities lacked the political will to act. “We are waiting for decisions from a taxi commission that was formed in Malaga in August. This issue has been on the agenda since 2008,” Diaz said. The association claimed the ratio of ride hailing drivers to taxi drivers was now one in four and rising.

TREASURE TROVE: Salvador Dali’s (inset) letters feature in the archive.

The art files ARCHIVISTS in Barcelona have received a trove of documents which they believe could shed new light on Spain’s 20th century avant-garde art movement. The files, which include thousands of documents from artists including painter Salvador Dali and poet Federico Garcia Lorca, belonged to the Barcelona art critic Sebastia Gasch. Many of them have never been published before. Their donation to Catalan scholars was signed off by Emili Gasch, an Economics Professor and son of the art critic and Eugenia Serra, director of the region’s National Library. Joan Minguet Batllori, a Professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and an expert on Gasch, said the collection was “sensational.” “There is a wide breadth of items. Not only are there letters from some artists and very important critics in the history of 20th century art. There is also important material about the circus as well as about dance, flamenco and Spanish cinema,” Batllori said. Emili Gasch said it also featured letters from his father’s “constant friend” Joan Miro, the painter, sculptor and ceramicist from Barcelona.

There was also correspondence from Dali and Lorca who Sebastia Gasch counted among his friends, his son added. The documents, seen by some Spanish media outlets, detail how Dali and Gasch came to know one another. The critic wrote to the artist in 1926 after seeing one of his works in Barcelona. Gasch wrote an article praising Dali’s work. The archives feature a letter from Dali thanking him for his praise and also to tell him about his distaste for the word ‘artistic.’ “It is a horrible word that only services to indicate things that lack art at all: artistic show, artistic photography, artistic advertisements, artistic furniture,” Dali wrote. Their friendship later soured after Dali delivered a lecture in the 1930’s declaring himself a communist, which Gasch mocked. Dali called Gasch an “imbecile” in a letter responding to his mockery which is in the archive. The documents also feature correspondence, poems and letters from Lorca. “I always say that you are the only critic and the only sagacious person I have ever met,” Lorca wrote.

They dined at a restaurant in San Sebastian de los Reyes, on the outskirts of Madrid. The pair opted for a rather summery dress style and they both appeared to be really enjoying each other’s company. It seems it cannot be avoided that members of the public go crazy for any news surrounding Kiko’s life outside of ‘Salvame,’ a programme aired on Spanish television network Telecinco since 2009. Who is she? Are they friends? Was it a date? These were just a few of the questions posed by many of his followers on social media. The establishment was likely chosen due to it being a rather small restaurant where they thought they could relax, the pair left together in Kiko’s car later that night.

OUR VIEW All change ONE interesting side line that has emerged from the current possibility of a no deal Brexit is a review of the ongoing need for the 1p and 2p coins in the United Kingdom. It has been clear for many years that the production of these coins is actually a loss maker which costs the country a large amount of money each year, as the cost of the metal used in the blanks is higher than the actual value of the coins themselves. The argument in favour of keeping the coins is two-fold, firstly, any companies were involved in making offers which ended in 99p as there was a marketing perception that an item priced for example at £9.99p was seen to be much cheaper than an item priced at £10. Research suggests that fewer offers of this type are being made so the need to be able to offer 1p in change has reduced dramatically. The second fear was that the disappearance of the two smallest sterling coins would be treated as a sign of inflation which is generally unacceptable to any government in power, but as inflation appears inevitable according to many economists over the next few years, it is believed that the loss of the 1p and 2p would almost go unnoticed with the 5p filling most gaps. The same observation concerning production is true with regards to the 1 and 2 euro cents and there appears to be little justification in continuing with those coins as well, although Italians of a certain age may resist the concept as they remember the days of change being given with boxes of wax matches, bus jetons or sweets.

Swede shooting claims Police: dead man was drugs kingpin By Joe Gerrard A SWEDISH man who died after being kidnapped and shot in a Mijas urbanisation was one of the leading traffickers of hashish into the Costa del Sol, police have claimed. Officers investigating the man’s death said he had a hand in a virtual monopoly on the importing of the drug into La Linea de la Concepcion. The trade could have netted him ‘millions’ of euros, police added. Officers also claimed they had linked the man to the ‘Chestnuts’ gang, a group of Costa del Sol-based drugs smugglers who almost exclusively controlled hashish shipments into the region. The gang may have worked ‘almost exclusively’ for the deceased, police added. The development in the investigation comes as three suspects have been charged and remanded in custody without bail in connection with the man’s death in mid-August. They were previously arrested while boarding a ferry to Morocco. The three face charges of murder, attempted murder and kidnapping in rela-

Both were taken to hospital and the man who police now claim was a leading drugs trafficker died of his injuries. In a separate development, police are still tracing a hooded man who shot another as he arrived at an Estepona home before fleeing on a bicycle. Officers believe the killing was gangrelated.

Fleeing Spain THOUSANDS of expatriates are quitting Spain amid Brexit fears and poor exchange rates. Fearing an uncertain future relationship between the UK and Europe, Britons appear to be packing up and heading home. Before the financial crash, Britons are said to have accounted for up to a fifth of all foreigners in Benidorm. But last year there were almost 3,000 there, down from an estimated 5,000 in 2007. Almost 5,000 more left the Balearic islands of Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca - a quarter of them in the last year, according to government statistics. The islands were home to 19,803 Brits in 2007, and just 14,981 last year - down from 16,134 the year before. Speaking to an international newspaper, a former resident of Mallorca said that ‘several people have left because of the fall in the pound,’ adding there may also be concerns ‘that the final Brexit regulations could impact badly on their lives.. Others claim all-inclusive resorts are badly affecting turnover for shops and bars, many run by the British.

Stuffed rare animals seized GUARDIA CIVIL officers have seized a collection of stuffed animals that include specimens from several protected species in danger of extinction. The operation began when the Investigation Team of the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA) of the Guardia Civil learned of a person in Sevilla who collects stuffed animals. When they tracked him down and searched his garage they found trophies and heads of creatures including a polar bear, black bear, wolf, lynx, and buffalo. The collection also included four complete elephant tusks, ivory carvings, a complete leopard and puma. There were also rhino and hippo legs used as decorative items, including a bottle rack and an ashtray.

SLOWDOWN: A decline in holidaymakers is predicted this year.

Tourism trends Arrivals slow while spending rises By Joe Gerrard

ENDANGERED: Many of the collection exhibits are protected. nance of the stuffed animals. According to the collector he had built up his collection by visiting markets and small shops while on holiday on the Andalucian coast, as well as through

the internet. The collection was seized by SEPRONA officers. The investigation is still open and no course of further action has been ruled out.

THE number of foreign holidaymakers in Spain this year may be lower than in 2017 but the amount spent by them could be higher, according to tourism officials’ forecasts. Spain’s Tourism Board’s report predicted there could be ‘zero or negative’ growth in the number of overseas tourists holidaying in the country this year in the worst case scenario. There could be a ‘very moderate’ growth in the best case scenario, the document added. The report said the Tourism Board expected ‘positive and hopeful’ holidaymaker spending figures driven by a growth in ‘cosmopolitan tourism’ such as cultural visits and food and drink trips. Statisticians from Turespaña drew up the report to forecast figures for the July to October period. The predicted slowdown in arrivals compared to previous years was largely dri-

ven by a slump in visitor numbers from Britain, Germany and France, the three leading tourist nationalities in Spain. Visitors from the three countries account for more than 50 per cent of the total arrivals in Spain between them. The report stated there could be a rise in French tourists during September and October this year. Trends from British visitors suggested there could be a fall of 4.2 per cent of tourists from that country during the same period, it added. Forecasts state the amount of overnight stays from Germans and their spending could fall during the same period. Tourism Board officials said there had been promising growth in the number of holidaymakers coming from the United States, Italy and the Netherlands. Growth from those nationalities, as well as from Belgium, Sweden, Portugal and Switzerland could help to buoy numbers, they added.

A general growth of 2.4 per cent between July and October is expected. Industry performance in the final months of the year could lead to a stagnation or decline in visitor numbers for 2018, the report stated. Spending is predicted to grow by 5.3 per cent during the July and October period. This is driven largely by a growth in spending from US and Portuguese travellers of 11.9 per cent and 21.1 per cent respectively. This year’s figures come on the back of two record-breaking years for tourism in Spain which in part explains the slowdown. Tourism experts have reportedly begun to wonder whether Spain has hit its ‘ceiling’ for the amount of arrivals in the country. Findings from the report also suggested the move away from classic ‘sun and beach’ holidays towards cosmopolitan tourism is expected to continue.

By Tara Rippin IN the wake of strikes and bouncing cheques, budget airline Ryanair has announced plans to charge passengers for hand luggage - its second cabin bag policy change this year. Non-priority customers can currently take one bag weighing up to 10 kilos into the cabin, and one can be stored below free of charge. While priority passengers have the luxury of carrying two hand luggage items aboard. But as of November 1, normal (non-priority) flyers will be charged €8 for any second item, or €10 if not paid for during the reservation. But the move could present positives for people who want to check smaller bags in the plane’s hold, with €8 preferable to the €25 charge to check in bags up to 20 kilos. An option for those planning to carry a second bag would be to opt for Ryanair’s €6 priority boarding plan while purchasing tickets, giving passengers the option to carry-on two bags into the cabin for free. But those who have flights booked with Ryanair departing after November 1 will still be expected to cough-up the additional money if they arrive with a second item of hand luggage. Ryanair claim the new policy will ‘speed up the boarding and cut flight delays,’ attributing the lengthy process of checking second items of hand-luggage into the hold for free is the main cause for delays for the airline. Labelling up to 120 suitcases per flight apparently causes delays of 25 minutes. A FAQ with responses on their website attempts to make things clearer for anybody travelling with the airline. One of the questions relates to

Cabin carry-on costs to increase paying for priority status. A curious client asked: “What happens if more than 100 customers want to buy priority boarding?” To which the answer was ‘they can’t,’ priority boarding is capped at 95 customers per flight (out of 189 guests). When asked if this was a ‘sneaky

or hidden Ryanair charge,’ a spokesperson replied: “No, this simplifies and improves the boarding gate experience and punctuality for all customers. Ryanair has no hidden extras, all optional services or fees are brought to the customers’ attention and agreed prior to booking.” But the news is unlikely to be wel-

Court judge lawsuit State backs Llarena in ex-Catalan leader case by Joe Gerrard SENIOR members of the Spanish government have said the state has hired a Belgian law firm to defend a Supreme Court justice who is being sued by Cataluña’s former president. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the case concerning Judge Pablo Llarena was a state matter and not a private one. He added the government would act in the interests of ‘jurisdictional sovereignty’ over Carles Puigdemont’s and four of his ex-advisors’ civil suit. Llarena’s court date has been set for Tuesday in Belgium. The former Catalan leader’s lawyers claim Llarena is guilty of ‘political crimes’ over his handling of their client’s holding of last year’s independence referendum and declaration. Puigdemont said the Spanish government would set a ‘very serious’ precedent if it chose to defend the judge. It comes as government officials previously ruled out defending the judge claiming the case was a private matter between Llarena and Puigdemont. Dolores Delgado, Spain’s Justice Minister, said in an interview with a Spanish radio station that the defence of Llarena was tied up with defending the interests of Spain.

SUED: Carles Puigdemont (pictured) filed the suit against Pablo Llarena.

Foreign Minister Josep Borrell has reportedly called on Belgium to come to Spain’s defence over the case. Belgian officials have ruled this out on the grounds it would interfere with the independence of their courts, their government said. Spain’s governing left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) has come under fire from all sides politically, over its handling of the situation. The opposition conservative Partido Popular (PP) said previously it would seek to take action in Spain’s parliament over the government’s earlier decision not to back Llarena. Pablo Casado, leader of the

PP, said: “The government must explain its abandonment of its functions.” Catalan regionalist parties in Parliament have criticised the government’s decision to back the judge. A spokesperson for Esquerra Republicana de Cataluña (ERC) said it had hoped for more ‘courage’ from Sanchez. The spokesperson added the PSOE government should bear in mind how it came to power. Those comments were in reference to the ERC’s and other regionalist parties backing of a no-confidence motion to oust the previous PP government in June.

Josep Lluis Cleries, of Puigdemont’s Partido Democrata Europeo Catalan (PDeCAT) party, said: “If you are Catalan, they persecute you. If you are a judge of the Supreme Court you have your defence secured and paid.” The civil lawsuit filed by Puigdemont claimed his and other pro-independence figures’ political rights were violated after arrest warrants were issued over last year’s secession push. Spanish courts ruled the referendum was unconstitutional and the declaration issued had broken treason and embezzlement laws.

Scam warning to British holidaymakers By Tara Rippin THIEVES disguised as women are robbing British tourists at a popular holiday hotspot, the latest distraction technique threatening Spain’s resorts. According to a Facebook group, set up to highlight crime in Benidorm, the crooks apparently ‘target vulnerable Brits’ as part of a scam which has been brought to light by the closed group Benidorm Robberies, Muggings and the Pea Men. And holidaymakers are being urged to take extra care and guard their wallets, phones and luggage from the moment they arrive. One victim wrote on the site, which has 9,398 members: ‘We arrived home yesterday to the UK after having an awful week last week in Benidorm. My 84year-old dad had his wallet

ed.’ The poster managed to snatch back her purse and added: ‘She legged it luckily for her. What a start to a well-deserved holiday.’Last month the government issued travel advice for British holidaymakers heading to Spain - warning of ‘date rape,’

‘fake police’ and ‘balconing.’ The holiday hotspot has been badly hit by a recent spate of issues, including a shooting in Benidorm, falls from hotel balconies and World Cup-related incidents. And so the travel advice for sunny Spain has been updated warning British travellers, especially in the tourist resort of Benidorm - to look out to ensure a safe trip. Official advice from the UK’s Foreign Office states: ‘Most visits to Spain are trouble free, but you should be alert to the existence of street crime, especially thieves using distraction techniques. Take extra care to guard passports, money and personal belongings.’ It goes on to warn how some criminals pose as police officers and ask to see tourists’ wallets for “identification purposes”.

Tourists stand ground as protestors storm beach By Tara Rippin A BEACH invasion by Spanish demonstrators fighting ‘mass tourism’ backfired when angry holidaymakers turned the tables, shouting abuse and accusing them of being ‘shameless.’ About 30 members of the protest group Arran marched into the sea at El Arenal in Mallorca, letting off orange flares and raising placards claiming ‘Tourism kills Mallorca.’ The demonstration, watched by dozens of families on the beach during one of the busiest weeks of the summer, took a turn when tourists apparently began retaliating, swearing and accusing them of being ‘shameless.’

SHAMELESS: Tourists blast ‘mass tourism’ protestors. Sunbathers, believed to be Spanish, are also said to have joined in, pointing out that the campaigners were putting their jobs at risk because of their anti-tourism views. Arran has always stressed

that it is not against tourism but massification, whereby holiday resorts in Mallorca and Ibiza have become too over-crowded to the detriment of residents. They have staged a number

of protests this summer and last year, including wading into a restaurant in Palma, where they also let off pink flares and showered customers with confetti. Some scared diners are re-

ported to have thought it was a terrorist attack. Last year, they are reported to have pelted tourist buses with eggs, scrawled graffiti on hotels and super-glued the locks of tourism establishments in Spain. Police were apparently called in to deal with the latest demonstration as the row escalated and officers had to give ‘special protection to those who were holding the placards.’Other Arran members are said to have run off when they spotted the police. A spokesperson for Arran Palma said they were protesting about the current tourism model and the ‘labour exploitation’ associated with it. They later tweeted that they had ‘a right and a duty’ to demonstrate and claimed police seemed more concerned about their protests rather than the daily problems residents had to endure as a direct result of mass tourism. Palma Council is reported as saying it was their intention to move towards a more sustainable tourism model ‘that generates quality employment and respects cultural and architectural heritage.’

EURO WEEKLY NEWS said goodbye last week to a budding young reporter who approached us looking for a leg up in her career. Gabriella Elkhouri, who is working towards her journalism badges in Sweden, spent two weeks in our Costa del Sol head office. Journalists and designers showed her the ropes and helped her to score a front page on our Mallorca edition. The words that follow are from Gabriella who was tasked with writing a retrospective of her time at the paper before she left us. Here is her story: “After two fun weeks of learning the ins and outs of a weekly newspaper I’m now sharing my internship experience at Euro Weekly News. My name is Gabriella Elkhouri, I was born in Sweden, at the age of one my family moved to Spain where I was raised. After 19 years living under the sun I moved back to Sweden, where I am currently in my first year of studying Journalism and Multimedia, at Södertörns University to become a journalist. At the end of July I contacted Euro Weekly News and asked them if I could have an internship with them. They gladly accepted and shortly after I began my internship. The EWN staff were extremely

As a Swedish girl growing up in Fuengirola I was always surrounded by different nationalities, it is something that has affected me positively and shaped me to the person I am today. The reason for my choosing Euro Weekly News was because its a newspaper that makes different nationalities feel at home when they are not in their motherland. Something that I have felt here. The first week as an Intern I was story searching, shadowing the editor

seeing how articles were made. I also spent my time with reporters and learnt the aspects of planning pages for the newspaper. I was given the opportunity to write a front page, with all the help I could get. The first time I saw the front page in paper was really exciting, especially when I saw my name on it. I have been here for two weeks now and learnt so much in such a short time. One of the biggest things I discovered with the EWN is that when everybody works together, that is

when the best results are achieved, ‘Teamwork makes dream work’ as they say. I have managed to work harder and faster, something that is really going to be useful for me in the future. I now appreciate more the importance of news and how it affects people and society in general. I would like to thank Mr and Mrs Euesden for awarding me two weeks of internship with the newspaper. I really appreciated the willingness to let me explore all the departments within the company.

I was able to sit in on meeings, collaborate with the writers and write content for the publications. EWN really allowed me to see how an editorial team works from start to finish. I have gained skills in researching, writing and learnt the meaning of team work. I look forward to going back to cold Sweden and taking these experiences with me. This internship has only helped to increase my desire to work for a company like this in the future. Thank you again to the team of EWN for all of your support, and for all of the opportunities you have given me.” Everyone at EWN is delighted to wish Gabriella all the best for the future and we are all looking forward to reading her articles or seeing her deliver news on the television. EWN’s door is always open for young aspiring journalists to come and hone their skills.

Sitting out on counter-terror body No date for Cataluña’s Mossos joining CITCO after a year by Joe Gerrard CATALUÑA’S autonomous police force has yet to join a national terrorism and organised crime body which includes forces from the rest of Spain, according to the centre’s sources. The Mossos d’Esquadra, which reports to the region’s Generalitat administration, has not joined the Centre for Intelligence against Terrorism and Organised Crime (CITCO). Cataluña’s regional government signed a deal pledging

the Mossos would do so last year, the body’s sources told Spanish media. A spokesperson for Spain’s Interior Ministry has confirmed that the Mossos are not part of the centre, according to the same reports. They added the force’s incorporation was being finalised but no official date had been set. The reasons for the refusal were down to technical issues and not politics, the spokesperson added. “The databases of CITCO

NO SHOW: The Mossos have yet to join CITCO. and the Mossos are in different programmes,” the spokesperson said. An unnamed member of

CITCO disputed the Ministry spokesperson’s claim. They said the issue with databases was solvable if the right soft-

ware was bought. “The Mossos did not get involved because they did not want to,” he said. A Mossos spokesperson said it was up to the government and not the police to give reasons as to why they had not joined the body. Official told the media during a press conference which followed the attack in Cornella on August 20 that preparations were being made to join the body. The news follows a deal signed by Cataluña’s Generalitat and Spain’s Interior Ministry in July last year in which the former committed to updating the Mossos systems to join CITCO. This has yet to happen. The Generalitat’s signing of the deal meant Cataluña, as well as the Basque Country, were among the first to agree to prepare their police forces to

join CITCA. Ertzaintza, the Basque police force, are independent from Madrid and answer to regional authorities, they are in a similar arrangement to the Mossos. CITCA was founded in 2014 and was set up to co-ordinate the work of the National Police, Guardia Civil and Spanish intelligence agencies in terror and organised crime. They use a computer system known as SICOA to help stop attacks and avoid different forces overlapping and doubling up on work. Members of the body, including the Mossos and Ertzintza, commit themselves to sharing all their data with CITCA under the terms of their joining. Final responsibility with the body lies with Spain’s Interior Ministry and Security Minister who is currently Ana Botella.

ABLAZE: Almost 18,000 hectares of land were destroyed by fires.

Fire damage at ‘a low’ by Joe Gerrard WILDFIRES in Spain gutted almost 18,000 hectares of land from the start of this year to mid-August, the smallest area consumed by blazes in the last 10 years. Data from the Agriculture Ministry showed some 80,228 hectares of land were destroyed by fire during the same period last year. That was the highest figure since 2012, the year which saw

more than 180,637 engulfed by wildfires. An average of 66,061 hectares of land were covered by blazes over the last 10 years. Firefighters were called out to an average of 8,833 wildfires over that period, with this year’s number at 4,493. The majority of this year ’s fires, 3,227, did not cover an area larger than one hectare. A total of 1,266 fires covered more than one

hectare and three fires were classed as major due to them burning more than 500 hectares. Spain’s Mediterranean coastal areas took the brunt of this year ’s forest fires, with almost 40 per cent of the land destroyed by blazes on such places. More than 38 per cent took place in the northwest, almost 20.3 per cent were inland and about 2.3 per cent in the Canary Islands.

Two decades on we remember the People’s Princess By Tara Rippin TWENTY-ONE years on from the shocking death of Diana, Princess of Wales, the day is forever ingrained in the nation’s memory. We all remember where we were and what we were doing when the tragic news was announced to the world that the beloved royal had been killed. The most photographed woman of her time died of fatal injuries in the early hours of August 31, 1997, after a horrific car crash in a tunnel in Paris. She had been travelling with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, who also lost his life together with driver Henri Paul, and the circumstances surrounding the accident attract controversy and conspiracy theories to this day. Her untimely death at just 36

years old led to a huge international outpouring of grief from people who are now remembering her two decades on. A number of events have been organised and TV shows broadcast to mark the anniversary of the stunning ‘People’s Princess,’ who loved spending time at Spain’s iconic Byblos Hotel in Mijas. Her Royal Highness stayed three times at the leafy enclave in the hills above Fuengirola, where she was famously photographed topless by paparazzi. The hotel, which recently reopened its doors after closing in 2010, was the first place she spent the night during her debut visit to the Costa in 1993 the same year she announced her withdrawal from public life. This followed a well-documented life in the limelight, af-

Diana, born in 1961, grew up at Park House on the San-

dringham estate, but moved to Althorp in Northamptonshire when her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. At just 19, the now infamous photograph of a shy Diana pictured outside the kindergarten where she worked in Pimlico, London, was revealed to the media in 1980. The following year she and Prince Charles kissed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on their wedding day, July 29, 1981. An estimated 750 million viewers watched the fairytale wedding on television, while millions lined the streets. In June 1982, Prince William was introduced to the world from the steps of St Mary’s Hospital in London, and two years later, in September, Prince Harry was born. As well as being a fashion

icon, Diana was a well-publicised humanitarian figure, who brought the issue of Aids to the forefront when she was famously photographed shaking hands with a patient in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1991. Another iconic image struck a chord with the nation as Diana can be seen sitting alone outside the Taj Mahal - the monument of love - in 1992. Nine months later, the couple announced their separation and Prince Charles and Princess Diana were divorced in 1996. To this date, Diana remains one of the most famous women in history. After her death, a sea of flowers was left outside Diana’s Kensington Palace home, and in scores of locations across Britain and further afield.

Tax deadline Brits told to declare earnings in crackdown By Joe Gerrard THE British government has told its taxpayers, including those living abroad, that they must declare their earnings on overseas assets by September 30 or face penalties. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the country’s tax collecting authority, said the call was aimed at those who have not informed officials of assets and earnings outside the country. It relates to earnings which come under income, capital gains or inheritance levies. The deadline follows the passing of new tax rules in Britain which are designed to target those who stash undeclared earnings foreign assets, according to Treasury sources. It comes as Britain is set to join the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) system this October which allows a total of 100 countries, including Spain, to share financial accounts data. Mel Stride, the British government’s Financial Sec-

The Treasury said in a statement that earnings from renting out holiday homes and other overseas properties were liable to be taxed. If a taxpayer notified HMRC by September 30 they

would then have 90 days to fully disclose their earnings and pay any tax owed. “If taxpayers are confident that their affairs are in order they do not need to worry. If anyone is unsure, HMRC recommends they seek advice from a professional tax advisor,” the government department said. The Treasury added those wishing to declare could do so by using its digital disclosure service, telling a HMRC official or any other method agreed with tax collectors. Stride said the government had recovered the equivalent of more than €3 billion in undeclared earnings since 2010.

State mulls paying up THE Economy Ministry is weighing up whether to voluntarily pay back money early to a European banking fund. Spain has debts of €26.7 billion with European Stability Mechanism (ESM) which it must repay by 2022. The fund was created to provide European Union (EU) member states with emergency cash during financial crises. Government sources said it was studied whether to make the early payment, or amortisation, but added no decision had been reached.

Court cuts tax bill SPAIN’S National Court has ruled that the country’s government must lower the amount by which it intended to fine a United States-based steel company for alleged tax fraud. The Madrid court ruled against the government in an appeal filed by Alcoa in connection with an audit in which the Treasury claimed it owed some €131 million in fines. The court found officials had not accounted for losses the company racked up in the years before the 2006 to 2009 period when the fraud is alleged to have happened. It has

by Joe Gerrard now ordered the government to recalculate the figure. The company has reportedly factored in a €26 million expected loss to its third quarter earnings over possibly having to pay the fine. Alcoa sources said it did not expect a favourable outcome if the Spanish government took the case to Spain’s Supreme Court for further appeal. The firm and Arconic, a subsidiary of Alcoa which specialises in aerospace and vehicle manufacturing,

have estimated the new figure could range between €21 and €53 million. Company sources said the final bill would be split between Arconic and Alcoa. The former is set to assume 51 per cent of the cost and the latter 49 per cent under the plan if the two are still fined. The €26 million figure assumes a worst case scenario in the company’s forecasts designed to cover the 49 per cent of the total the Treasury is likely to demand. Alcoa is the sixth largest aluminium producer in the world.

SPANISH government spending on pensions rose by 4.86 per cent to more than €9.2 billion by the end of July, a historic record for that month. Pensioners were paid an extra €100 in July due to a revaluation which left seven months of arrears. Pension increases in this year’s General State Budget by 3 per cent for minimum rates and 1.6 per cent for all others also pushed up spending government officials said.

Merger report CORPORATE mergers fail to generate the value expected by shareholders and investors in around two thirds of cases according to a report from the KPMG consultancy which claimed i n t e g r a t i n g d i ff e r i n g c u l tures and workforces were factors in the findings.

Home sales ACCORD: Gimeno headed up El Corte Ingles. DIRECTORS at the El Corte Ingles department store chain have reached an agreement with their shareholders over the departure of president Dimas Gimeno. Gimeno accepted an agreement drawn up by the firm’s bosses last Saturday evening. He resigned shortly before being formally dismissed on Sunday following a standoff which lasted several months.

The former president has agreed to sever ties with El Corte Ingles in exchange for the firm paying him the equivalent of two years’ salary as part of a compensation package. The total payout has not been confirmed. The agreement follows a week of talks in which Gimeno tried to secure a bigger payout over his dismissal which was agreed by company bosses last June.

LUXURY home purchases rose in Spain by 27 per cent in the first half of this year and the number of sales in Cataluña fell by 13 per cent between January and June, the real estate agent Lucas Fox said.

Power funds SPAIN’S Council of Minister has approved a €15.25 million payout to electricity firms who helped to cover a shortage of funds in the sector during 2013 after the courts ruled the government had to compensate the firms in 2014.

Self-employment grows THE number of workers set up as self-employed has grown by 1.3 per cent across the Spanish economy since 2009 to almost 3,251,950, according to data. A report from the National Federation of Autonomous Workers’ Associations (ATA) showed that 43,219 more workers had opted for the status from July 2009 to the same month this year.

Women led the growth in numbers while the number of men who worked for themselves declined. The number of female self-employed workers grew by 7.9 per cent while males fell by 1.9 per cent. Data also showed self-employed workers aged 40 and above represented 65.2 per cent of the total.

FINANCE, BUSINESS & LEGAL MINISTERS from Spain’s government have said they will not move forward with their plans to balance the country’s books until the Senate is stripped of its debt policy veto. Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said following a meeting of the Council of Ministers last week the government would press on with its deficit reduction strategy once changes came in. Her comments come as leftist parties including the anti austerity Unidos Podemos group and the pro Catalan independence Esquerra Republicana de Cataluña (ERC) backed the governing Partido Socialista (PSOE). Valencian regionalists Compromis have also offered their support. Calvo said the veto, which allows the upper house of Parliament to strike down debt and deficit legislation, had created an “exceptional and unintelligible” situation. “We are aiming to return to the constitutional normality we had under previous laws which maintained Congress’ pre-eminence over the Senate,” Calvo said. “The Congress as the seat of popular sovereignty will be able to adopt final decisions, as is the case with all other laws. The Partido Popular (PP) introduced this veto, perhaps for political and partisan reasons,” the Deputy Prime Minister added. Legal experts have reportedly said it

Deficit path stalls Ministers vow to remove Senate veto

VETO ROW: Ministers want to strip the Senate of the power. would be difficult or “almost impossible” to remove the veto before the end of this year. Pablo Casado of the opposition conservative PP, who currently hold an absolute majority in the Senate, has said his party would oppose the reforms.

The centrist Ciudadanos also voiced their opposition. Casado claimed it was a ploy from the government to try to end the separation of powers laid out in the constitution. Teodoro Garcia Egea, the general

secretary of the PP, said the move showed the leftist and anti-austerity leader of Podemos Pablo Iglesias governed Spain. “One of the demands of Podemos is to remove powers from the Senate in which Spanish voters gave an absolute majority to the PP,” he said. The tussle over the veto follows meetings between government ministers at Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s residence in La Moncloa last week for talks on deficit plans. Their proposed stability pact set a target of the deficit equalling 1.8 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2019. The figure is up from the previous PP government’s goal of 1.3 per cent. Deficits for spending have been targeted at 0.4 per cent for the Madrid government, 1.1 per cent for the welfare budget and 0.3 per cent for regional spending. The government has estimated that their plans will see them spend €6 billion more than was to be spent under PP plans.

Government control for dangerous dogs? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT HORRIFIC photos once again this week of a young baby savagely mauled by a pet dog. How long is it going to be until the authorities realise that a number of canine breeds are actually no more adaptable to the living conditions of human beings than many dangerous wild animals? To my mind the likes of Bull Terriers, Mastiffs, Rottweilers etc should be viewed in one place and one place only. The local zoo. In the last 10 years there have been 17 deaths in the UK due to dog attacks and 200,000 reports of dog bites in the last year alone! These are horrendous figures and the most tragic fact of all is that the majority of victims were extremely young. Many of these tots, now scarred for life, have had their whole futures altered beyond redemption, simply because the two-legged animal that should be the most responsible of all, deems for some unknown reason to allow unpredictable, potentially life destroying four legged canines to share their homes. When are they going to recognise the devastation these animals are actually capable of? I do actually shudder when I see photos, or postings

DANGEROUS BREEDS: These dogs are capable of causing devastation. of dangerous dog breeds, cuddling up or licking the faces (not too hygienic anyway!) of babies of sometimes a few months old. One, split second vicious snap and those faces could be gone forever. When are the government going to see some sense and ban certain dangerous breeds altogether? I await the slings and arrows of DDO’s (dan-

gerous dog owners) with my usual full metal jock strap firmly in place! Contrary to the outcry that accompanied it, I did have some sympathy for the British pensioner who said her Benidorm holiday was ruined because her hotel had ‘too many Spaniards in it.’ Not being present at the time, I can’t comment on her remarks about the general rudeness of the

other guests, although I am fully aware that certain cultures may appear somewhat more abrasive and a little more obtrusive than the British are generally exposed to! No, to an extent I can fully emphasise with her problem. Some years ago, when the children were a great deal younger, I decided to take them all to a hotel in Mallorca over the Christmas period. After checking in and exploring our ‘special Christmas treat’ It didn’t take long to realise that the hotel was full of Germans. In fact, the whole of the Christmas festivities were geared toward the Alemannia’s. The staff all addressed you in German. The shows (including the comedian) were German orientated. The food had a distinct German flavour, the bars were empty by 10pm and breakfast was served at some ungodly hour around sunrise! Our whole Christmas was in fact ruined. I believe that hotels do have a certain responsibility to inform potential guests that their establishment may be geared toward some culture or citizens from a specific country. At least you would then have the choice of who you would prefer to share your hard-earned break with. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Refusal of property keys back by the Bank Costa Luz Lawyers By María L. de Castro Lawyer. Director. Costaluz Lawyers

WHAT if the Bank refuses to accept my property keys back? Not the end of the story: Monitor and oppose if: (a) Your mortgage deeds have abusive clauses which can stop or void the repossession: anticipated maturity clause, lack of communication of the sale of the mortgage debt to a vulture fund, floor clause, IRPH… (b) The enforcement procedure is being

according to Law. (c) Value given to the property for auction is correct, mainly if Banks are respecting the minimums established by Law as a barrier for them not to bargain with mortgage debtor rights. In most cases, your pending debt is below the value a Bank can repossess the property for, so it is for mutual benefit that an agreement is signed. Offer a prospective buyer even for a very low price - and possibilities of a quick settlement will increase significantly. There are always arguments before a standard denial by the Bank. Keep the fight up! And if you need a lawyer for this, please contact us at mailto:web@costaluzlawyers.es.

by Adam Whalley-Lewis WELL, it would seem that quite a few of us do if BBC1’s new prime time Sunday night thriller is anything to go by. Auntie trailed this one heavily, which doesn’t always guarantee a winner - Love Island? - but after an exhausting day on the Costa with lovely friends Linda and Gary, I sank into a thankfully air conditioned sofa on Sunday with a glass of blanco and wasn’t disappointed by the vino or the TV. The action and there is a lot of it, centres around Home Secretary Julia Montague, played impeccably by Keeley Hawes and a close protection officer, David Budd, who Richard Madden makes his own. Now, a little bit like Nuns who can count the number of Popes they have lived through, I can count quite a number of Home Office chiefs (from my former life) including an incident in a lift with a guide dog, the then Home Sec and a really big protection officer and I recognised some of what was going on. That said, as with most action thrillers, about a year of exciting stuff is obviously going to be packed into each episode. I’m not too sure we have ever had such a sexy chief at the Home Office either, male or female. If episode one grabbed you, the storyline going forward will keep you watching. We already

FEATURE

NEW THRILLER: Starring Keeley Hawes and Richard Madden. know that Julia has ambition to move from the Home Office to Downing Street (remind you of anyone?) and David is complex, to say the least. The action continues on BBC1, Sunday and of course on iPlayer. A quick thank you to everyone who has emailed me their thoughts and suggestions, keep them coming. Special mention to Michael

and his suggestion to petition ITV bosses about Brad speeding up his questions to the Chaser and to Caroline, who wants more suggestions for the week ahead, will see what I can do. Fans of Neighbours, Channel 5, weekdays, will no doubt be excited by the upcoming marriage of Aaron and David. A raft of Erinsborough dramas conspire to put a black cloud over

the big day, including one of the grooms not being able to walk, falling out with his future father-in-law (Paul Robinson) and a stand in celebrity celebrant. This same sex wedding is a TV first for an Australian show, never been done before on a show from down under. Maybe Skippy will put in a guest appearance? Sadly Ant won’t, as it seems Holly Willoughby is co-hosting I’m A Celebrity with Dec, what will Phil do without her? Nothing to do with the Jungle, but Naked Attraction is back on Channel 4, Fridays. I’ve no idea who the target audience are for this one. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a dating show, kind of Blind Date style, but everyone takes their clothes off and they all chat about, well you can guess. Clearly the viewing figures stack up, but I’m not sure just who is admitting they are watching! Looking ahead (Caroline this is for you) BBC1 are showing The King’s Speech on Friday night, this is a movie I would stay up to watch if you haven’t seen it, X-Factor is back on Saturday night and only because Caroline is a Marbella girl, I need to mention Gemma Collins: Diva Espana, ITVBE Sunday evening - only watch if you are a TOWIE fan or you call Marbella home. Happy Viewing. HappyViewing1@outlook.com

INJECTION: While the Venezuelan economy flounders, Spain is providing a haven for old money

Reaping rich rewards PAIN’S property boom is being fuelled by the ruin of Venezuela’s. It is estimated that in the Salamanca district alone, more than 7,000 luxury apartments are now owned by Venezuelans. Their country is facing financial ruin, with inflation expected to hit one million per cent by the end of the year. And while some nationals face a fight to survive on a daily basis, others have found a safe haven for theirs in Madrid’s real estate market. According to real estate investment adviser, Luis Valls-Taberner, almost every street in Salamanca, an upmarket district of the Spanish capital, is home to a

S

wealthy Venezuelan. While he would not identify the buyers, he told told an international business newspaper that some of the properties were purchased through investment companies based in Miami or elsewhere - but the money always came from Venezuela. Madrid’s housing prices surged about 17 per cent last year, the strongest rise among Spanish cities, raising the cost of living downtown to levels last seen in 2007, before the country’s construction bubble burst. The Salamanca district, with its fashion shops and restaurants, has been at the heart of the boom, partly thanks to rich Venezuelans.

BOOST: Spain’s real estate market experiencing welcome boost.

In Salamanca alone, by the estimates of some Madrid real-estate companies, over 7,000 luxury apartments are now owned by these expatriates. And the bulk is from families who became rich decades ago, in an economy whose main asset, oil, was nationalised in the 1970’s. According to Rolando Seijas, the Venezuelan founder of SNB Capital, a Madrid-based investment firm whose activities range from insurance services to an electronics component factory in southern Spain, the ‘big fortunes in Venezuela have always been connected among themselves and dependent on having a good relationship with the state.’

He added that ‘some Venezuelans have become successful entrepreneurs in Spain, starting delivery services, opening restaurants and shops or taking over franchises, like that of the US fast-food chain Subway.’ Venezuelans have not only been buying Spanish real estate, but also building it. In 2017, the Cohen family, owners of one of Venezuela’s largest commercial real estate companies, opened the Sambil Outlet on the outskirts of Madrid, which bills itself as Spain’s largest shopping centre. This year, the Cohen group also bought a building in Salamanca which will be turned into a dozen luxury apartments.

A humble adobe A

NEW trend is sweeping Spanish construction which involves building modern homes using techniques dating back centuries. The Adobe method has been used throughout history to construct buildings in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and elsewhere. The method involves making bricks from clay, sand and other natural materials such as straw which are dried in the sun before being built around a wooden frame. The technique is visible in buildings such as the Great Mosque of Djenne in Mali as well as in the Poeh Museum tower in New Mexico in the United States. Adobe methods are now being used in Spain to build eco and green homes and other buildings. Bricks can be made using traditional methods and there are now options to buy them already completed. Examples of Adobe homes exist in Spain in the form of both historic constructions and new builds. Spain’s hot and dry climate lends itself well to using the technique. The advantages of using the tech-

Disadvantages include the method being time consuming, with bricks taking around three days to dry. It is also hard to build tall structures with the method and exterior walls require regular maintenance.

Crowdfunding boosts market A TOTAL of €5.5 million has been invested in 11 property projects in Italy as a result of a crowd-sourcing platform. Financing firm Housers said they predicted the figure could be as high as €10 million by the end of the year and that it could reach €30 million in 2019. Giovanni Buono, the head of the company’s Italian operation, said they were planning on expanding into Rome, Torino and Venice having already broken into markets in Milan, Florence and Potenza. “In a year we have managed to get 9,000 investors from Italy to join our platform and invest in projects in the country, as well as Spain and Portugal,” he said. The firm are reportedly aiming to grow their user base to around 25,000 during next year. The platform works by members loaning developers amounts from €50 upwards to buy, build and develop properties.

TRONG investor interest in the real estate market triggered a 27 per cent growth in luxury residential property sales and purchases in the first half of 2018. This has been despite the uncertainty generated by the turbulent political situation in Cataluña causing a notable drop in the number of transactions of high standard homes in that area. Some estimates suggest that the number of transactions in Cataluña during the first six months of the year fell by 13 per cent. But the rest of the country has surged ahead when it comes to luxury property, simply shrugging off the falls seen in Cataluña to see a 27 per cent rise in prime residential real estate transactions, according to a report by Lucas Fox. This resulted in a sharp increase in the average sales price, which soared by 19 per cent in the first half of the year. According to the National Statistics Institute (INE), 217,539 housing transactions were carried out between Jan-

uary and May this year, representing an increase of 13 per cent over the same period last year. The sale of new homes represented 18 per cent of the total of transactions, with a total

of 38,328 new residential properties transferred. “Lower unemployment and access to credit, which is beginning to become a little easier, make it a very favourable

time for us,” says Férran Font from property portal pisos.com. The areas with the highest sales of luxury homes were the main Spanish cities and holi-

day destinations, which recorded a historic record in the number of transactions of prime residential properties. In Madrid, the number of transactions brokered by Lucas Fox increased by 20 per cent during the first half of 2018. In addition, the total value of these operations increased by 10 per cent over the first six months of 2017. Moving across to Valencia City, according to the Ministry of Development, the total value of sales transactions grew in the first quarter by 17 per cent compared to the same period last year. In the Barcelona region of El Maresme there were 80 per cent more luxury sales during the first six months of the year, despite the political uncertainty that hit the rest of Cataluña’s high end real estate market, according to Lucas Fox. However, there was a 27 per cent reduction in the total value of transactions, due to a reduction in the average price of the properties traded.

HE residential property market on Ibiza continues to boom. Entry prices for villas, fincas and apartments in very good locations increased once again in 2017. Local authorities have responded to the sustained level of demand by developing infrastructure on the island further and realising new development projects. “The number of properties coming onto the market is growing in the luxury segment too. Exclusive homes are currently taking shape in select locations around the island that offer superior services to residents,” said Florian Fischer, Managing Partner of Engel & Völkers on Ibiza. Interest in the Balearic island is growing year on year, and this is reflected, for example, in the sustained growth of private air traffic and in the number of wealthy visitors drawn to the island’s marinas. High demand is met with a limited supply of available homes in many parts of Ibiza. In 2017, prices rose particularly strongly in the best locations across the island. Ibiza Town

and the surrounding region are enjoying increased popularity among buyers seeking an upmarket nightlife and fine dining. The properties on offer here range from historic townhouses to modern apartments overlooking the marina, to premium villas just outside the town. Moreover, the newly redeveloped centre and the opening of new luxury hotels have enhanced the exclusivity of the island’s capital. This is reflected in a further rise in property prices. For villas in very good locations with living interiors of approx 350sqm, entry prices in 2017 rose to €4.3 million. The lower price limit for freehold apartments in prime locations increased over the previous year by €100,000 to €1 million. The most exclusive residential areas on Ibiza also include the south and southwest. This region attracts a cosmopolitan buyer group in particular, drawn by its legendary beach clubs where famous DJs often perform. The homes on offer in the south and southwest of the island are extremely varied, ranging from minimalist villas to fincas in more inland rural areas, to contemporary apartments by the sea.

FRAUD WARNING: Check before you sign.

Avoid getting scammed when renting in Spain

R

E N T A L S sourced online are becoming the most popular way to find holiday or long term accommodation. There are many criminals who seek to scam vulnerable people, in most cases renting out an apartment they don’t own. The Spanish Organizacio de Consumadores y Usuarios (Consumer Rights Watchdog, Consumers and Users Organisation) has listed some tips to help define legitimate accommodation. More and more scams are being recorded related to holiday accommodation rental scams in Spain. Common ways relating to fraud include requesting a payment in advance, phishing for personal information or introducing malware through a link to access a user’s computer and steal information. The Spanish OCU advises to read the tips before agreeing to rent a property on the internet. • Comparing prices and conditions on different websites. Usually lower prices have worse conditions or are not legit. • Always read the conditions and recommendations of the holiday accommodation

rental sites. • Always communicate through the website where the accommodation is advertised and never transfer money from outside the page or application. If communication is made directly with the owner, there are no guarantees the money will be recovered and the platform will not be held responsible if any problems occur. • Be wary of rentals below the market value and advertisements that offer incredible homes at a very low price - if it sounds too good to be true it probably is! • Check the authenticity of the listing through other sources: reviews and comments from other users, checking the location on Google Maps or similar applications, calls and questions to the owner for specific services in the area like restaurants and things to do. If the information they give is too vague, be suspicious. • If a deposit is required to secure the property, only make the payment by a secure means proposed by the platform and that leaves a trace of the payment, such as paying by card, Paypal or a bank transfer. Always check that the account holder is the same as the owner

of the property being rented. • If you decide to rent directly from an individual before signing the contract or making a reservation, contact the advertiser beforehand to confirm their identity and clear up any doubts that may arise. If in any doubts local Gestoria can confirm if a certain property is owned by the person who is renting it out. • Try to avoid paying the full amount up front, and instead deposit the smallest amount possible and pay the rest on arrival when it has been verified that everything is as indicated in the advertisement and there’s nothing dodgy about the rental. • Keep a copy of the reservation and/or deposit. If a deposit is requested, clearly specify the payment reference of the bank transfer, the conditions of its application and that as it is a deposit it is to be returned. Ideally, you should have an inventory list of items that belong in the property and their condition before signing the contract. • If you believe you have been a victim of fraudulent rentals in Spain, inform the website so the advertisement can be removed and contact Local Police and Guardia Civil.

PROPERTY GUIDE Cheapest destinations for property purchase IF thinking about buying a house in Spain, there are many factors to be taken into account for choosing the right property. Overall price of the property may not seem expensive, but is it a reasonable price for the size of it? Price per square metre should be compared when looking at properties. A comparison site Idealista outlines the cheapest apartments which are up for sale. Budget properties are best to find away from big cities. The main cities like Madrid and Barcelona have historical architecture therefore have a high market value. Properties as well as the cost of living are considerably higher than in other areas. Coastal areas of Spain are very popular with Spaniards as well as expatriates. Due to overpopulation of places like Mallorca and Costa del Sol, prices have been increasing for over 40 years. Compared to other countries it is affordable considering it is the Mediterranean coast. Inland properties are very cheap and reasonably easy to find, like Castilla-La Mancha or La Rioja. It is important to take into account the cost of living in different areas and depending on occupation calculate if it can influence monthly and annual income and expenses.

Retiring abroad: 5 reasons why Spain is an attractive destination WITH a warm climate, beautiful beaches and diverse landscapes from majestic mountain ranges to quaint coastal havens, it’s no wonder why Spain is such an attractive destination for those looking to experience their own share of ‘la buena vida.’ It’s clear that expats regard Spain as an ideal destination, including those looking to retire. This article explores the ‘need to knows’ for retirees, such as the cost of living, health and lifestyle. 1. Climate As any expat moving to Spain discovers, there’s a difference between weather and climate. Spain has climate. Parts of the Costa del Sol enjoy warm summers and mild winters, notching up a cheerful 320 days of sunshine. The picture is a little different inland and in the sierras where winters are bright but colder, and it’s rainfall that keeps those hills of northern Spain so green. But it’s easy to see why an overwhelming majority of expats see the Spanish climate as a contributor to an improved quality of life.

2. Health A kind climate generally creates a sense of well-being, both mentally and physically. Life in Spain is lived outdoors, pretty much all year round in some regions, and at an appreciably slower pace. Access to outdoor leisure pursuits, from hiking to riding, from golf to beachcombing, make it easier to get fit without even trying. The health-boosting Mediterranean diet and a highly regarded public healthcare system completes a virtuous circle. 3. Cost of living After the long downturn following the 2008 crash, still referred to in Spain as ‘the crisis,’ things are looking up. Still, property prices and rent remain comparatively low: the average price of accommodation per square metre in 2017 was €4,382 and although rental prices are on an upward trend, particularly in high-demand areas, expats can still expect lower rates than in northern Europe. 4. Lifestyle Slow down, head out and join in.

Spain’s outdoor, face-to-face lifestyle makes it easy for expats to slot right in and start living the life. People who have moved here from overseas tend to find a warmer welcome from locals than in many other expat destinations, though having even a basic grasp of Spanish will make a big difference, especially since English isn’t widely spoken outside the cities and resorts. Retirees seeking to build a new social life are well placed to find one, whether settling in a coastal expat community or heading for the hills, with plenty of opportunities for socialising; an afternoon nursing a drink and tapas on the shady terrace of a bar or joining in the local fiestas pretty much anywhere. Family life is at the heart of Spanish lifestyles and it’s not unusual to see four (even five) generations of the same family filling a lunch table set for 12. Children are welcome in restaurants and cafés and as this isn’t an early-to-bed culture, you’ll soon get used to seeing them running around well into the evening.

5. Exploring Spain There are many faces of Spain: thriving, cosmopolitan cities, coastal demiparadises where the sun never seems to stop shining, mountain towns and villages, the little white pueblos of the south where the only sounds are birdsong and the timeless sound of goat bells. Expats find their way into all of these and more, exploring the country from wherever they’ve made their new home. And it’s easily done - Spain’s transport infrastructure is well served by generally toll-free roads, and by a highly affordable bus and rail network. Given the comparatively low costs involved, a short break away won’t break the bank, and is especially rewarding when you head off the beaten track. Spain’s UNESCO world heritage sites aren’t confined to the big cities. Retirees may cite numerous reasons for moving to Spain - but one thing’s for sure, the laid-back lifestyle, low cost of living and beautiful scenery will always be high on the list.

Property on the Water WHY pay millions of euros to buy a beachfront property when you can build a house on water? Well the first sustainable houseboat has been built in the marina of Torrevieja in Spain. The contemporary design home, manufactured from carbon fibre, polyester, concrete, galvanized steel, and wood is categorised as an unmanned and non-motorised floating fixture, but serves more as a house than a boat. Sporting modern wooden floors, American style kitchen and floor to ceiling doors, they add a bit of luxury thanks to the clever design and the stability of the houseboat meaning there is no feeling you are floating on the sea. The cost of building a houseboat is considerably cheaper than buying a property near the coast. A two bedroom-two bathroom model will set you back about €100-150,000. The model built in Torrevieja which is slightly more expensive, has two bedroom suites, two other bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a terrace and another impressive sun ter-

With regard to the installations and elements that make it efficient, “the houseboat has sanitary hot water panels, solar panels, high quality thermal and acoustic insulation and can obtain aerothermal energy” says the architectural firm ADOSN who designed it. Another advantage of this type of housing is the construction time which takes between three to five months to build, depend-

ing on which size is ordered. With the help of a trailer or tugboat you can relocate it as many times as you want. “There are other similar products, but not with the same creature comforts and characteristics. The rest of the markets have specialised in motorised houseboats or having the maximum surface area. We want them to be comfortable and, above all, efficient, sustainable and affordable,” stresses Manuel.

Property mortgage increases STATISTICS published earlier in July showed the number of residential properties bought and sold in Spain during May was 4.7 per cent higher than same time last year. It also showed that purchases financed by mortgage rose by 7.3 per cent. According to the government’s central statistics unit, there were 31,166 new mortgages registered during the month. With most important increases in the 17 regions of Spain being those in the Canary Islands (70.9 per cent) and Castilla-La Mancha (21.7 per cent), Murcia and Aragon experienced decreases. The latest data show the average loan capital involved in new mortgages during May was 2.8 per cent higher than in 2017 at €117,044. Average interest rates of only 2.38 per cent on variable loans and 3.04 per cent on fixed rate repayment terms, 40.6 per cent of buyers went for fixed rate terms. According to the longer term picture, in the first five months of the year there were almost 144,000 new mortgages registered on housing purchases.

EALTHY Britons eyeing up a palatial overseas home are windowshopping castles on the continent, according to a survey of the most-viewed foreign properties online. The list, compiled by property website Zoopla, indicates that four out of the 10 most viewed properties for sale are fit for royalty. For A-listers who prefer not to travel too far each year for the international film festival, there is a ninebedroom chateau in Cannes. The property is also the most expensive on the list, with an eye-watering asking price of €56 million. Extravagantly refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, the 19th century castle boasts marble stone

be enjoyed from the property, including a perfect vista from one of the bathrooms, and it is surrounded by 8,500 square metres of pic-

turesque gardens. For those who put a premium on space, a 19-bedroom chateau in Dordogne, France, is in fourth place on the most viewed list. The 16th century castle has entertained French royalty throughout the centuries and features huge vaulted ceilings, landscaped parks and even has its own chapel. Also on the list is an Italian castello, on the market for €15.7 million, which would also double very well as a wedding venue. The most viewed overseas property on the list is an offplan Spanish home in a golf resort in the south of the Costa Blanca. Included in the very affordable price of €290,000 is a swimming pool and courtyard.

A BARCELONA couple are set to travel the world thanks to a growing travel trend which sees tourists stay in the homes of strangers and make theirs available in exchange. The pair are set to begin their journey in New Delhi in India. They are due to travel across a total of five continents staying in the homes of users of GuesttoGuest, who are sponsoring the couple’s journey after they won a competition. GuesttoGuest describes itself as a social network for travellers. Users register their homes and gain points by letting people stay in theirs, which in turn lets them use the houses of others across the world. Spain has the second most users of that platform and similar ones of any country, behind France.

THE appetite amongst buyers has strengthened over the last 12 months, particularly at the opulent end of the market above €4 million. Marbella’s favoured prime areas such as the beachfront, Golden Mile and La Zagaleta retain their pre-eminence, but new emerging prime markets are evident in other areas. New investment in the form of The Nobu Hotel and the widely anticipated W Hotel along with a number of other upmarket branded resorts demonstrate the latest trend among high-end tourists for the area, many recognising that the coast is also a viable winter retreat. Developers now understand the importance of delivering luxury low-density

projects with carefully planned communal facilities and the latest technology. The commercial property market in Marbella provides a valuable indicator as to the state of the town’s economy and future residential demand. Although there is a severe scarcity of office and retail units to buy or let as supply struggles to keep pace with commercial demand, which is a positive signal. Tourism figures show the number of visitors arriving in Spain rose 9 per cent yearon-year to 82 million tourists in 2017. Northern European buyers (Scandinavian, Benelux and German) are key countries contributing to increased sales, but the rise of the French buyer has

been the most notable trend in recent years along with Middle Eastern buyers who can now fly direct to Malaga from Doha, Riyadh and Jeddah. Despite the availability of good finance deals and historically low interest rates, around 70 per cent of purchasers are cash buyers. The latest data from Spain’s notaries suggests that British demand is still at the top and far from wavering in the run up to the UK’s departure from the European Union. In the second half of 2017, there were 49,553 sales to foreign buyers across Spain and the UK had the largest market share of all overseas buyers - 14.3 per cent . This figure rose to 26 per cent

MARBELLA: Offering homes with the best qualities.

T

he Golden Mile has long been a favoured international destination since the 60’s, when it became a resting place for the European elite. Its exceptional location has allowed the housing demand to prosper, even during the worst years of the financial crisis. When the crisis passed, Engel & Völkers recognised the new profile of international buyers in order to offer them ‘The Collection,’ a product 100 per cent adapted to their needs, which was presented at a recent press conference. “The Golden Mile has always been the most prestigious address for a second home for the European clientele. However, in recent years we are seeing a new trend of younger clientele with an average age between 35 and 55 years old, who are searching for a modern style, contemporary design and the latest trend of material and amenities, of course in the best locations on The Golden Mile preferably around the vibrant Puente Romano Resort,” explains Smadar Kahana, CEO of Engel & Völkers Marbella. This indicates a rejuvenation of one of the most exclusive addresses in Marbella of up to 20 years. Therefore Engel & Völkers is very proud to present The Collection in exclusivity. ‘The Collection’ is a project that meets the demands for new housing construction for this clientele with 26 luxury semi-detached villas that started construction on August 16. It will be a milestone for the city in view of its recent construction and licensing ups and downs. “Over the past two years, Marbella has lost a lot of investments and now that licensing has been granted, we hope that this promotion will be sold in just a few weeks,” says Kahana. “Most buyers do not want 20-yearold houses. They are looking for modern, organic designs, integrated into their environment and in the best possible location,” she continues. “At this moment in time there is no similar villa project on the Golden Mile except for The Collection.” In fact, The Collection is located just

VILLAS: Will be built using natural materials such as wood and stone.

The average buyer on the Golden Mile is now

20 years younger ‘The Collection,’ 26 exquisite semi-detached villas on the Golden Mile, begins construction next week 400 metres from the celebrated Hotel Puente Romano and a short walk from the Mediterranean Sea - it is at the epicentre of everything an international investor is looking for. Built with the highest quality materials, from the prestigious architecture firm González Jacobson, who use natural materials such as wood and stone in order to give a feeling of warmth to these semidetached villas. The villas will be built by the prestigious company San José Construcciones. And will be 4,000 square metres, built on plots of 8,000. In recent years, clientele from central and northern Europe have taken precedence in comparison to other nationalities such as Arabs or Russians.

Belgians, Germans, British, Norwegians and Swedes are the main buyers of luxury homes according to the internal study of Engel & Völkers. To achieve the supply for this demand in the best locations in Marbella the goal should be: homes with the best qualities, close to all services in price ranges ranging between €500,000 and €1,000,000 for apartments and €1,000,000 and €2,500,000 in the case of villas. ‘The Collection’ will have a market value of €30 million, with prices from €1,125,000. This is a unique investment opportunity given the scarcity of plots in this coveted corner of Marbella.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Yours is a big ship. You are able to take a lot on board but you don’t have to. In this special week, when you see things so clearly, be selective. Allow into your life only that which is valuable and worthwhile. This is not selfishness, it is providing a source of inspiration for the present and the future.

WIDE EYED: Parts of women’s eyes were larger than men’s on several measures.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

Trivia from around the world *** The Ukrainian capital of Kiev is home to the world’s deepest underground station. Arsenalna is 105.5 metres below the ground. *** Toilet paper was invented in China in the 6th century CE. Initially only the Emperor and his family were allowed to use it.

*** Canos Critales, or the River of Five Colours, in Meta, Colombia changes colours between yellow, green, blue, black and red from the end of July to November. *** Women hold about 64 per cent of seats in Rwanda’s Parliament. The World Economic Forum has ranked it sixth best

on its index of government gender gaps. *** Sand and dust storms rage for between 20 to 50 days on average every year in Iraq. *** The British Overseas Territory of Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean has an RAF base, a European Space Agency station and a BBC signal relay.

DID YOU KNOW? Women typically have wider pupils than men. A 2016 study found that ‘emmetropic’ eyes, which are non pathological and the most common among humans, are typically bigger for women in measurements of corneal thickness, white to white distance and pupil diameter. The findings are based on measurement samples taken from 379 people with emmetropic eyes and the results were published in the Surgical and Radiologic journal.

Decubitus - A medical term which refers to the posture someone adopts when they’re lying down. Comes partly from the Latin decumbere meaning ‘lie down.’

It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes. We make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions, especially selfish ones.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, writer

We can learn to see each other and see ourselves in each other and recognise that human beings are more alike than we are unalike.” Maya Angelou, poet

Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny. They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone needs to learn to stand on their own two feet. It isn’t you, but it’s close. Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done. You may break into a sweat this week and it won’t suit your nerves, but you’ll get through.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take? If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy? On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you

still be happy? Keep things simple. You know where you are.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Surprised? You shouldn’t be.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION Letters should be emailed to yoursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com DEAR Editor, A large area of waste ground in front of my apartment block was sanded over and used as a parking area for the recent Torre del Mar air fair. Now that it’s over, it is a dog litter tray. Men, women and children let their dogs run free on it so they can poop on it, then take their dogs away when they have done their business. Time to chip all dogs so that these criminals can be heavily fined for such anti-social behaviour. Dog poop carries numerous diseases and you can bet that any fly that lands on your food or face has been on some dog poop very recently. And fine the owner of any dog not chipped. Michael Hill

Anti-social behaviour Caring councils

Airport closed HI, I’d just like to say how disappointed I am about San Javier airport closing, as the alternative Corvera is 34 kilometres further on. I for one will never use it, San Javier was making money and busy. Why on earth didn’t they put the military over to Corvera, it would have been out of the way, but no. Again money spent on this monstrosity which nobody wanted and they could have extended San Javier. Roy Wallace

HAVE YOUR SAY

Views expressed and opinions given are not necessarily those of the EWN publishers. No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.

HAVING read your article (Our View, Well done Councils) please, please tell me where these caring councils are who look after residents. I live in the lovely town of Catral renowned not for its beauty but its history of corruption and illegal building on a large scale!! The very rich ex-mayor and many other agencies lined their pockets, though this was 16 years ago those activities are still impacting on residents of Catral in a big way The mayor of Catral whom I am sure is a very caring person unfortunately has little more power to help than a dog with rubber teeth as Valencia Council took his real power away. In 2007 many residents were served with demolition orders on their homes, can you even begin to imagine the heartache and worry that caused, we are now in the year 2018 and yes although these orders are suspended they are still registered against our properties, some residents do not even know they have them till they try to sell their houses All attempts to resolve this awful situation have failed. Top solicitors, estate agents, residents have all been totally ignored by Valencia who refuse to discuss the matter with anyone and are sitting on these orders even though they

ILLEGAL BUILDINGS: Many residents were served with demolition orders. could not demolish nor intend to demolish any of the houses. Ailing health, ageing and financial problems are effecting many of us who are retired and need to sell our houses which as you can imagine is nye on impossible until these orders are lifted. The heartache goes on and despite what you think about caring councils nobody seems to care about the forgotten residents of Catral. Maybe your paper could give some thought about the other face of the caring councils which I am sure are not exclusive to Catral. Thank you and I hope I have touched a caring nerve somewhere.

I totally agree HI Leapy, I have just read your article ‘Are our values being threatened’ in this week’s Euro Weekly and I had to write to say that I agreed with every word you wrote. What is it with us British that as soon as someone speaks his mind particularly about people from the Muslim community, that they are somehow branded as being racist??? We have always prided ourselves on having free speech in the UK but this seems to be being eroded. Thank goodness there are still people like yourself who are happy to speak up for what I am sure is the great majority of us Brits. Always enjoy your column. Thanks Gill Chapman (Benalmadena)

EU departure DEAR Editor, I write into your paper occasionally, with views on the subject of the UK leaving the EU as it affects UK nationals who are TAX resident in Spain ( not to be [frequently] confused with part timers and holidaymakers) Today I see in the Irish papers that the Central Bank is trying to find a way of enabling UK state and private pensions to be paid into pensioners’ euro accounts, in the event that capital and financial services will not be included in any ‘deal’ and worryingly this disastrous idea of walking away with no deal at all. There are about 135,000 UK state pensioners tax resident in the Republic of Ireland. Private pensions added raises this figure to 150,000 (UK gov figures). These are very largely people on fixed incomes - much like the majority of UK pensioners resident in Spain (110,000) but I see no move to encourage people to talk about this, and, really prepare for any eventuality. All I hear is ‘it will sort itself out somehow,’ ‘it will be all right in the end,’ ‘wait and see what happens.’ Would there be any way of trying to get all the information in one place - reliable, verifiable as to what exactly do pensioners need in order to minimise the disruption and expense this exit is most likely to produce, and would a media project to stimulate this be worthwhile in the public interest and - an element of the media public service information responsibility? Included would be all the essential elements of EU citizenship, and adherence to the laws of the host country, eg - all financial contracts, the EHIC, driving licences, ownership of vehicles, etc, etc and, what being a citizen of a third country would mean in each category. Triples all round - cheers = Ian (beiderbeck)

Ankles - just a sprain? SO ma ny of us ha ve ‘sprained’ an ankle.

Get Qi-going for rapid results A NEW health and fitness craze looks set to cause a stir, and not because it’s difficult to pronounce. Qigong, pronounced chee-gong, is the 5,000 year old Chinese practice of keeping mind and body sane and well. This is through various means, including postures, meditations, guided imagery and importantly, breathing techniques. Qi means ‘breath’ or ‘air’ and is considered the vital-life-force or lifeforce energy. Practitioners believe that this force penetrates and permeates everything in the universe. According to one teacher of 12 years, Sifu Anthony Korahais, Qigong is easier than yoga and accessible to everyone. He claims to have taught extreme athletes, dedicated couch potatoes, people aged from 20 to 80, disabled veterans and marathoners. A simple exercise Sifu uses to illustrate the lack of boundaries, is the ‘pushing mountains,’ which involves gently moving your palms back and forth in a flowing manner, and coordinating your breath with the movement. He says ‘anyone can do this exer-

PRACTICE: Techniques are simple and can be practised anywhere. cise, it can be done in a wheelchair, and can even be done with one arm.’ With Qigong, you don’t need to memorise long, complex routines, or worry about the martial aspects of the art. Apparently you can dive immediately into the meditative and energetic as-

pects, which is also what apparently brings you quick results. But while some Qigong exercises are physically easy, others are challenging. But because there are so many different techniques, it’s easy to raise the difficulty level for those who are ready.

Similarly, there are movements appropriate for those who are ill or out of shape, and even techniques that an Olympic athlete would struggle with. Sifu points out that Qigong is also a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine.

He said: “In China you can find Qigong in the hospitals. In fact, in some there are entire Qigong wings.” Over the years, Sifu has collaborated with acupuncturists, massage therapists, chiropractors, psychologists, reiki healers, osteopaths and nutritionists. “I have seen with my own eyes how Qigong can greatly complement other forms of healing.” And while yoga is ‘empowering,’ Sifu says the difference with Qigong is that it doesn’t require physical strength or flexibility. In fact physical strength can be a hindrance. Body builders for example, often struggle to relax the muscles and let go of deeper layers of tension. Sifu added that an art that doesn’t need brawn for success is empowering for women, the physically unfit, the disabled, children and smaller sized men like himself. As well as being fun, Qigong is accessible in that you don´’ need much training to start getting results. “I can train a fresh beginner to start getting amazing results in just three hours,” said Sifu. There are numerous sites online you can visit to find out more.

The answers could be at your fingertips GEL fillers and shellac techniques have become huge money spinners within the female beauty industry, but your nails are more than just an aesthetic tool. They can say a lot about your health, and can tip you off to any irregularities, according to the Berkeley University of California, Wellness. Here are a few examples of how the nail can indicate problems in other parts of the body. Nails normally curve at a slight upward angle from actual bed. But nails that arc downward may indicate disease of the lung, liver, inflammatory bowel or cardiovascular, as well as HIV infection. White bands, Muehrcke’s nails, is a condition characterised by a pair of horizontal white lines running parallel to the nail base. These may arise after chemotherapy, but are also associated with liver and kidney disease. Beau’s lines are horizontal indentations that may be a sign of injury to the nail and again can occur as a result of chemothera-

py or as a result of a high fever. But they can also suggest a zinc deficiency, diabetes or peripheral vascular disease. Spoon nails, or koilonychias, may be abnormally thin and flat, or even concave

Common in people with liver disease, the condition may also occur as part of normal ageing. However, research shows that they are also associated with diabetes, congestive heart failure and HIV infection.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

What does your #ootd selfie say Nora Johnson

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

REPORTEDLY one in five shoppers admit to buying clothes online, wearing them once just to post a selfie, and then returning them for a refund. And 3544-year-olds (not teenagers this time!) are the worst culprits of all. Barclaycard, that barometer of fashion intel which commissioned the new research, says this trend to ‘snap and send back’ is increasing, partly thanks to the hashtag ‘outfit of the day’ (#OOTD). Here, Instagrammers upload a picture of themselves to showcase what they’re wearing - in a bedroom, on a beach, on the streets or wherever - and the hugely popular hashtag has more than 2m posts. I know it’s a trip down memory lane but I remember a pre-digital time that involved lusting after a particular outfit in a shop window, saving up and rushing back from the

shop to put it on. Or, picking out a fabric and pattern and sewing the dress or coat yourself. Way back when, many women were skilled home dressmakers who created beautiful garments for themselves on simple Singer sewing machines. They also sewed clothing for their families as well as curtains and other household items. And knitted and crocheted too... Not so long ago I was chatting with a careers advisor who said the clothing industry is desperate for skilled tailors and dressmakers. But the main thing schools are offering nowadays are ‘textiles’ courses, which are more concerned with

the design of fabric rather than constructing clothing. A final thought. Apart from the environmental impact of this constant buy/return cycle - more packaging, more transport miles, more waste - how do these people have so much time for selfies? According to the latest stats from Google, 24 billion selfies were uploaded to their photo-sharing site in just one year (2016), doubtless mostly of the #OOTD variety. Well, I can top that. I buy not just the one outfit but a complete new wardrobe every day, snap it and send it back. The IKEA delivery guys are getting really pissed off, though...

Where will they pay tax? We own a property in Spain and for 30 years we registered at the local Hacienda as ‘Resident Non-Taxpayers.’ Every year we produced a tax certificate from our country of legal domicile, South Africa, and only paid tax on our property in Spain. In 2013 we were told by Hacienda that, if we were Resident in Spain, we had to pay Spanish taxes and claim back our tax from our country of origin. My question is: In order to avoid double taxation, do we have to declare ourselves non-resident tax-payers in South Africa and only pay taxes in Spain, on the pension and annuity income we bring into Spain?

Some testing times! Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WAS round at friend’s the other day and they have a youngish child who was being a little boisterous. Not naughty, just being a child basically and, all of a sudden, the mum said: “If you don’t behave you will have to go to your room.” Now, when I was a kid, this was definitely a punishment. In my room I had a bed and a wardrobe and maybe a few toys. I’ve seen this kid’s bedroom when we were shown round the house. Believe me, being sent there was not a punishment. There was a flat screen TV, Play Station speakers, headphones and a laptop. I know things change, but it’s becoming harder and harder for me to accept certain things. For instance, some youngsters can hardly write because everything is done on a keyboard. Then there is predictive text - who needs to learn how to spell? Here’s one for you - ask anyone under the age of 20 to tell you the time on a normal watch. You will be amazed at the amount that can’t. Why? Because all people do

now is look at their phone and read the digital clock. In my opinion every child should be taught how to tell the time on a normal analogue watch. What do you think?

Not so good AND now to insurance, there are many adverts on TV for comparison companies, but remember that can be a minefield as some promote the companies that give them a bigger commission. Then there is the dreaded small print. You think you are getting the same, or better deal. But I’ve found, when trying to sort my daughter’s car insurance out, that what initially looks like the same or better cover doesn’t quite turn out that way. When you go through the clauses you can sometimes be better off with the original, which at first appeared to be dearer. And if the decision on what life insurance to purchase is decided by Michael Parkinson giving you a free fountain pen, then I suggest you need to take a serious look at yourself. mikesenker@gmail.com

TECH FOR THE TIMID BY force of habit, a young colleague recently ended an e-mail to the tax authorities with a row of kisses. Ouch. Digital communication is still a brave and scary new world, especially for those of us with a reduced shelf-life. It’s not just the text-speak terms like LOL which are confusing. (For years a friend assumed it meant Lots of Love and used it thus. He only discovered his mistake in a hurt response to a note of condolence). Join me on a voyage of discovery through 13 of the more important email etiquette tips. 1. Plenty of us absolutely hate emails without a subject line. Even worse: WRITING THE SUBJECT LINE IN CAPS. Easy there, pardner. 2. Use a proper salutation. Except to friends, hey, yo or hiya doesn’t cut it. When in doubt the time-tested ‘Dear …’ works just fine. 3. Don’t blitz your entire address book with funnies or a cat video. If you can’t desist, at least use the

Anatomy of an e-mail You need to etiquette-it in today’s communications world, says Terence Kennedy

E-MAIL: Tame the beast. BCC (blind carbon copy) button so you’re not releasing your entire address book into the wild to delight the world’s spammers. 4. Don’t assume the recipient knows who you are just from your e-mail address, especially if it’s ‘hotlips36-24-36@gmail.com.’ Attach a proper signature to every email. 5. Check previously-quoted text for potential landmines before re-

sending it, unless the entire ‘thread’ has only been between you and your single correspondent. 6. Mixing up Reply and Reply All has cost many a hapless employee their job. Ditto not ensuring you’ve clicked the right addressee. 7. Don’t put emojis in business correspondence. Sad-face emoji really doesn’t do when apologising for missing the tax-form deadline.

8. Nowadays if you don’t reply to a message in 24 hours it’s a snub. 9. Go easy on the exclamation marks!!! Not for nothing are they called ‘screamers’ in newspaper parlance. 10. Never shoot from the lip; don’t e-mail when you’re angry. Or drunk, which should be a criminal offence. 11. Keep things brief and to the point. Wordy letters are a relic of a bygone age, more often’s the pity, but there it is. 12. Don’t send giant attachments, or fleets of them, without asking first. 13. Finally, last thing before hitting Send, run a (spell)check. Be particularly aware of the pitfalls of predictive text, which might easily have turned your dear to dead, being pregnant to pringles, your kissing to killing (I’ve had them all). Never mind the embarrassment caused when predictive changed the two vowels in a message about a lady’s car called a Volvo.

FEATURE

To BCC or not BCC RULE 3 says don’t blitz your entire address book with a bulk e-mail, covered in detail in an earlier column. If you really must, at least ‘BCC’ the recipients rather than revealing to all and sundry just how many (or few) actual people you know. That’s also vital these days when lists of real, active addresses are digital manna from heaven for anyone of the spamming persuasion. The most common solution is to address the e-mail to yourself in the normal way. Then go through your address book adding recipients individually, by clicking the BCC button for each. Incidentally, did you know that under Europe’s new GDPR rules, bulk e-mailing is now technically illegal unless you ask each person’s individual consent? So good luck with that.

Two first class British singers SEPTEMBER is going to see two great guests at the premier nightclub on the front line of Puerto Banus, JoysLive and as ever, entry is completely free of charge. First to visit the club will be James Williams who is travelling to the Costa del Sol from his home in Wales to appear next week from Friday September 7 to Sunday September 9. Born in Pontypridd (the same town as the legendary Tom Jones), James was originally a golfer, representing Wales in the European Challenge Tour but as he travelled the world with many of the golfing greats, he found himself being asked to sing at weddings and celebrations. Having reached a crossroads in his life, he was almost surprised to discover that he was wedded to music rather than golf and he is now a successful professional singer. With a smooth voice, he can present a whole range of different songs and is known in the UK for his Michael Bublé and Neil Diamond tributes but in

fact he can turn his voice to most styles from ballads and swing to 60’s pop right through to present day chart music. He is only at Joys for three evenings but it is sure that the performances will be ones to remember. Next to arrive is master of Soul and Tamla Motown specialist Cobe Singer who will be at Joys on the nights of September 19 and 20. He has been performing for 15 years, originally in a group recording original songs but after they broke up he decided to perform as a solo artist. There is no doubt that Cobe can bring a Party Vibe to any performance which will get the audience moving. Although based in the UK, he regular travels throughout Europe and his two nights at Joys are sure to be buzzing. Apart from these two special guests it must be remembered that the performers at Joys are

to Live Well by Andrew Harding Vitamin C: Ascorbic Acid NECESSARY for the production of collagen in the body (collagen holds the cells of the body together and is necessary for wound healing). Humans cannot synthesise it within the body like other animals can, so it needs to be present in the diet on a daily basis. It is present in all citrus fruits, tomatoes and their juices, red and green peppers, potatoes and green leaved vegetables. It is destroyed when heated, but one small glass of fresh citrus fruit juice will provide more than the minimum daily requirement. Deficiency results in the disease: ‘Scurvy,’ the symptoms of scurvy include; bleeding gums, loosening of the teeth and wounds not healing as they should. If untreated, it will result in death.

This week: Everyone’s favourite - Vitamin C

OLD FAVOURITE: Chilli con Carne. 125ml red wine 2 whole beef stock cubes 2 teaspoons ground cumin 500 grams cherry tomatoes; halved 3 teaspoons black peppercorn, freshly ground 2 teaspoons salt 1 can red kidney beans, drained and washed juice of 4 whole limes 1 whole, large green pepper; chopped 1 large bunch of cilantro; finely chopped 2 tablespoons cream cheese 250 grams red Leicester cheese; grated 8 tortillas. Place onion, garlic, red chilli and ground beef in frying pan.

Dry fry until beef browned and other ingredients cooked through. Add red wine, beef stock, cumin and simmer for 10 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes salt and black pepper and cook to reduce until sauce thickened. Add the red kidney beans and simmer for another 10 minutes Add lime juice and simmer for two more minutes, add cilantro, stir once. Check and add seasoning if necessary. Place tortillas on to a lightly oiled oven tin, place chilli con carne on one half of each tortilla, place cream cheese on top, followed by the red Leicester. Fold the tortilla to enclose the chilli/cheese mix. Place in an oven, pre-heated to 200 Celsius (fan oven), 180 Celsius (no-fan) for 10 minutes. Serve. Hint: Substitute red or yellow peppers for the green, or any combination. Tip: To avoid wasting unused chilli peppers, place in a shallow bowl in the sunshine until they dry out completely and then store in a sealed jar. Use scissors to cut them when they are needed and add to the sauce to rehydrate them.

Cause for alarm LOCKING up the house and checking security alarms are set are routine procedures in most homes. But how often do we check our smoke detectors? Lives have been lost because the batteries were dead (or had been removed to stop false alarms) or the device was past its useful life or installed where occupants couldn’t hear the alarm. It’s really simple to test your smoke detectors to make sure they’re working. Just press the test button and the alarm should sound. If it’s a battery-powered alarm and doesn’t sound off, change the battery and retest it. If it’s a hardwired unit and doesn’t work, replace it immediately. If they do sound off, check the date on the label so you’ll know when to schedule replacements. Smoke detectors are good for only 10 years, and some let you know they’re due for replacement with an end-of-life chirping sound. But others provide no warning at all, they die in silence, leaving you totally unprotected. According to DIY experts at

BATTERIES: Simply changing batteries can safeguard your home.

a leading handyman publication, there are two things to check before you buy replacements. Firstly, are the detectors hardwired? Rotate the detector body to release it from its base and pull it away from the wall. If there are wires, it’s a hardwired detector and must be replaced with another hardwired unit. Do not replace a hardwired detector with a batterypowered detector. Secondly, are your detectors interconnected? Hardwired interconnected smoke detectors all sound at the same time, even if only one detector senses a

fire. You can tell if they’re interconnected by counting the number of wires in the detector’s electrical box. Knowing whether yours are interconnected or not will help you buy the right replacement units. Hardwired and battery-powered wireless interconnected detectors communicate with one another via radio frequency (RF) signalling (not your home’s wifi). So you can retrofit your existing hardwired non-interconnected detectors with wireless interconnected units and even add new wireless detectors to

DETECTOR: Regularly check your devices.

build a safer fire detection system, all without running any new wires. If your home already has hardwired interconnected detectors and you want to add more battery-powered detectors, replace one of the hardwired interconnected detectors with a bridge unit. Then install battery-powered wireless interconnected detectors. If you have any non-interconnected battery-powered detectors, replace them with the newer battery-powered wireless interconnected style. Dual-sensor technology is apparently the best choice for bedrooms.

Almost 90 per cent of all homes are outfitted with an ionization-type smoke detector which respond best to fastmoving, flaming fires and are cheaper than photoelectric units. But since you never know what type of fire you’ll encounter, all fire experts now recommend installing both sensing technologies on each level in your home and in all sleeping areas. For kitchen and hallway locations near bath areas, stick with photoelectric detectors which can handle steam and cooking smoke without triggering false alarms. Talking alarms tell you where the fire is. Some new models allow you to program

the location of each detector. So if one of the programmed detectors senses a fire, all detectors announce the fire’s location in a clear pre-recorded voice. That way you can choose the fastest and safest evacuation route. And wifi-enabled units and smart device apps allow you to monitor your home from anywhere. Stick a piece of tape on the back of the smoke detector and write down the installation date. Replace it 10 years from that date.

Best laid green plans THERE’S nothing like a healthy sprawling lawn to crease a lush green retreat. And contrary to popular belief, it is possible to grow a real lawn in Spain, it’s all about choosing the right grass. Highly recommended by expert gardeners, is Benissa Green, a variety which is good for a vibrant vista that will require a little water, but very little moving. The Benissa silver grey is ideal for those who want almost zero cutting and trimming, or watering. Most people’s experience with real lawns in Spain starts with the cost of buying turf or seed. It’s not long before the chore of watering becomes too much like hard work, and the finer greener grasses die and the coarser ones survive, looking unsightly.

LUSH: There are ways to create a healthy, green lawn in Spain. But while turf provides an instant solution, it’s not easy to find and is expensive because of the high maintenance prior to sale. Grass plugs are an alternative. They are not cuttings, but completely rooted pieces of lawn. The lawn begins modestly and cheaply and gets better with time.

SPANISH SEEDS: Benissa green grass varieties require minimal cutting.

The investment can start from around €5 a square metre, and after watering for the first three weeks after planting, you should not need to water again, depending on extreme weather conditions, solving the issue of expensive irrigation systems. If you have part of an established lawn, you can continue watering until they reach the same level. Because of the deep roots, the plug grasses are drought resistant and thrive in hot, dry conditions. They grow slowly so do not need much cutting. Because they do not propagate easily from seed, they are better propagated by professionals at garden centres, and bought and transplanted into lawns. In less than one season, you could find yourself with a

wonderfully green outdoor space.

Will you join us for a Guinness? Marbella Moments by Nicole King THE first thing I envisioned when Martina Spaan talked of the proposed Beetle Drive at our UNMS2018 event back in April was a bunch of Herbie The Love Bugs en masse parading around our city. It sounded like fun. As it turned out a Beetle Drive has nothing to do with Volkswagen beetles. It’s a game played with a die, pen and paper and thanks to Campbell Ferguson, one of the founding members of the international, English-speaking Rotary Club Marbella Guadalmina, we now all get to play this game he fondly remembers from his childhood for charity and potentially for a Guinness World Record. The main charity benefiting from the funds raised on the day will be the Alzheimer’s Association (AFA) www.afamarbella.org, so this is a very worthy reason to support the event. In the hope and expectation that people from all along the Coast will ‘play the game,’ the event is going to be held in the Exhibition Centre in Marbella (Palacio de

WORLD RECORD: At least 256 people have to show up to play. Congresos) so we all fit. Players need to be in tables of four and anyone from seven years of age upwards is welcome to participate for a minimal charge of 10€ per player. The idea is to make up as many tables of four people as possible and to encourage this a special offer of ‘buy

three get one free’ is available, although as this is for charity, if you can contribute more, better yet. Younger children are only not invited to participate as it is essential that all players take part in all three games from start to finish to aspire to the record and they might not last the entire duration,

even though actual ‘game time’ is not expected to exceed 30 to 40 minutes. The game in itself is quite simple, similar to hangman but involving a die and drawing a beetle, based on the numbers thrown. Each body part has numbered values and they must be drawn in a specific order so completing the beetle is not as easy as it seems and more fun that it may sound. The event is starting at 5pm and there will be food, drink, entertainment and arts and crafts stalls and the Master of Ceremonies will be Shane O’Shea of Project Music Management for the English language speakers and I’m

honoured to have been invited to do the Spanish welcome, introductions and explanations, so we’re very much looking forward to welcoming you all!! Opportunities like this don’t come our way every day so please do come along, with the family and your friends or just by yourself and we’ll find you a table to play at. Truly the more the merrier! So far the record is held with 252 players so at least 256 people have to show up to play on the day for this official attempt to be a success, so if you too fancy a Guinness, join us!

FOR a number of years I, Peter Harrison and many of my friends in the canine industry have been pushin g f o r l e g i sl a t i o n to s to p people profiting from breeding with sick mothers and allowing bitches to be lifelong involved, to breed puppies. Most sales are over the internet and very expensive, many have earned big money out of these poor kittens and dogs. It is proposed that only licensed organisations like registered refuge centres breeders. It will be illegal to sell a kitten or puppy unless the mother is seen and that the kittens and pups know their mother and be interacting. The sale of puppies and kittens without their mother present will be banned in a bid to end the ‘disturbing’ trade of animals bred in puppy farms, Theresa May has announced. The new legislation will require all sellers including charitable shelters to show potential buyers the puppies alongside their moth-

Keeping pets cool in summer WHETHER as a pet owner or a sitter we need to be mindful of temperatures every summer. There are lots of signs that pets are not happy in the heat, some go off their food, others find a shady spot and hide for as long as they can. Here are some tips for caring for dogs in the heat: • Feed them early if you can when the temperature is still cool • If you walk dogs daily, walk them early or late, to avoid the hot ground and the hot sun • Always make sure they have access to fresh water, take a bottle with you if you’re walking • Put ice cubes in their water dish to keep it fresh • Offer a wet towel for the dog to lay on, or if you can a cool paddling pool • Be mindful of humidity in your home, they may not be able to pant themselves cool if it is too high.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

SALES SURGE: Spanish car maker is on the up.

Record breaking SEAT SEAT is on course for a record year after it recorded its highest ever sales figures for the first six months of the year. The Spanish carmaker ’s global deliveries went up by 17.6 per cent to reach a total volume of 289,900 vehicles. This figure represents an increase of more than 43,000 cars compared to the same period in 2017 and breaks the record set in 2000 of 278,500. In June, SEAT again sold

more than 50,000 vehicles in one month (51,400), which is 13.7 per cent more than the 45,200 sold in the same period in 2017. According to SEAT Vicepresident for Marketing and Sales, Wayne Griffiths: “In the first six months of 2018 we experienced a surge in growth beyond our initial expectations. After growing nearly 15 per cent in 2017, this year we are exceeding this figure thanks to the boost given by the new Arona. We are also confident for the second half of the year, when we plan to launch the CUPRA, Ateca and the SEAT Tarraco, which will expand the range and enable us to reach new customers. However, we are also going to have to deal with the possible effects of the new WLTP type approval standard, just like every other car manufacturer”. From January to June SEAT sales went up thanks to the excellent results obtained in the major European countries, which all posted double-digit growth. Spain spearheads SEAT deliveries with 62,200 cars (up by14.9 per cent) and the brand heads the list of registrations and top-selling models, with the Leon and the Ibiza.

Barca survive VAR scare

WINNER: Dembélé scored the winner. BARCELONA face newly promoted Huesca on Sunday as they aim to keep their 100 per cent record going. So far the Catalan team have seen off Alaves 3-0 and followed that win with a 0-1 result away from home against Valladolid. Ousmane Dembélé scored the only goal and Luis Suarez had another chalked off for offside as newly promoted Valladolid gave the reigning champions a scare. They thought they had equalised, only for a header by Keko to be disallowed for offside when reviewed by VAR. Barcelona will be back home SPAIN’S Fernando Alonso was unwittingly at the heart of an incident that proved the worth of the controversial halo device now fitted to Formula 1 cars. Alonso’s McLaren was sent flying through the air when he was shunted from behind on the opening lap of the Belgian

for their next match and will be hoping they are not as difficult to break down as Valladolid were. Real Madrid sit on top of the table on goal difference from Barcelona, and will also be playing at home, this time to Leganes. Madrid are brimful of confidence after beating Girona 1-4 away, with Kenzema scoring a brace. Gareth Bale knocked in one and Sergio Ramos another as the club showed they can live without Cristiano Ronaldo. Atletico Madrid will hope to follow up their first win of the league season with one on the road as they head to Celta Vigo

on Saturday. An Antoine Griezmann goal was enough to see off bottom of the table Rayo Vallecano in their last match. Sevilla meanwhile have a tough assignment if they are to hang on to third spot. They have started the season with an impressive 1-4 win away to Rayo Vallecano, but followed that up with a disappointing 0-0 home draw against Villareal. On Sunday they cross the city for the big derby game against Real Betis. The latter may only have one point so far this season, but they are guaranteed to put up a fight against their local rivals.

WINNER: Rohan Dennis won the opening time trial.

La Vuelta returns… LA VUELTA (Tour of Spain) cycling race started this week in Malaga before heading off into the Costa del Sol. Rohan Dennis (BMC) won the opening time trial, beating Team Sky’s Michal Kwiatkowski into second place by six seconds with Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Soudal) third. Although short - the flat course was just eight kilometres long - it gave cycling enthusiasts the chance to see their heroes at close quarters. Sunday saw the teams start off from Marbella on a course that took them to the Caminito del Rey in El Chorro. Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) out-sprinted Kwiatkowski to take the stage having overhauled earlier attacker Laurens De Plus

(Quick-Step Floors) who came in third. The cyclist stayed on the Costa del Sol for stage three, racing from Mijas to Alhaurin de la Torre, before heading off east of Malaga. Stage four started in Velez-Malaga and went on to Sierra de la Alfaguara. Next up was the Granada to Roquetas de Mar route as stage five, before today’s (Thursday) Huercal-Overa to San Javier stage. Tomorrow cycling enthusiasts can view the riders on the Puerto Lumbreras (Murcia) to Pozo Alcon (Jaen) stage. Saturday sees the tour going from Linares to Almaden as the riders head further inland and up to northern Spain and Andorra in the coming weeks.

Halo proves its worth Grand Prix and landed on top of Charles Leclerc’s Sauber. The halo, which has drawn criticism from some quarters for

its looks, took the brunt of the impact and deflected the force of the impact away from Leclerc’s head. Pictures from

the incident show scrape marks on the cockpit protection device. Although no one can know what would have happened without the halo, there is a real possibility Leclerc could have been badly hurt or killed in the incident. As it was he walked away unharmed from the spectacular crash at Spa. Sebastian Vettel went on to win the race and close the gap on championship leader Lewis

Hamilton. The latter had taken pole after a heavy shower in qualifying, but the upgraded Ferrari of Vettel had the edge in performance - especially straight line power. Running less wing for the high speed circuit, Ferrari seemed to have the better set up than Mercedes and the German passed Hamilton on the Kemmel Straight on lap one. The emergence of the safety

car was the only time his lead was threatened, with what he described as a poor restart allowing Hamilton to close in, but he soon built up a lead that he comfortably held until the chequered flag. It was Vettel’s 52nd F1 victory and 107th podium, moving him ahead of four-times world champion Alain Prost in the all time lists. Hamilton came second in his Mercedes and now has a 17point lead in the championship. Max Verstappen’s Red Bull was third, with Valteri Bottas coming in fourth in the second Mercedes.
