Firework fury LOCALS in Malaga City took to social media on Sunday evening to complain of insensitivity after a cruise ship was spotted letting off fireworks after a day of heavy flooding. The Marella Spirit’s fireworks display began at around 11pm. Residents reported hearing loud bangs which some thought were the start of a thunder storm before seeing fireworks explode in the skies off the coast of the city. Some locals commenting on social media said the letting off of fireworks was inappropriate after floods ripped through the province and claimed the life of a firefighter. Twitter user Pipe Alonso said: “One more example that in Malaga anything goes. It is not the day or the time.” “It is not the day, or the hour after floods and a firefighter passing away,” said Andaluztv. Inmaculada Martinez said: “With such a storm we heard

Arson trial
PROSECUTORS have requested that a 55-year-old man set to be tried over allegations that he torched his ex-partner’s Malaga City apartment block be jailed for 17 years if found guilty. Prosecutors claimed the defendant had set fire to the block of flats, in the Plaza de las Flores, after his partner left him in February 2012. The fire that took place left the defendant’s expartner’s roommate with first and second degree burns covering 40 per cent of his body including his neck, throat and abdomen. The defendant’s ex-partner was not in the building at the time. The man was in hospital for three months as a result and had to have surgery and rehabilitation treatment. It took him more than seven months to recover.
The flat, on the fourth floor of the apartment building, sustained an estimated €6,335 worth of damage. Repairs to the building following the fire cost almost €30,000. Prosecutors have requested that the defendant be fined €6,335 to cover the damage to the flat if found guilty. They have also asked the court to order €13,072 in compensation from the defendant to his ex-partner’s injured roommate for his burns and €20,000 for later treatment. The defendant may also have to pay €2,400 to his ex-partner for the psychological impact of the fire. The case continues.

EU budget warning Officials dismiss debt concerns By Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S Finance Minister has said the European Union (EU) will likely approve the country’s budget plans amidst reports Brussels officials were preparing to warn Madrid over public debt concerns. Maria Jesus Montero said a letter that EU finance officials were due to send Spain “endorsed” measures that will see higher government spending and tax increases if approved. Montero’s comments follow speculation that the EU was preparing to warn Spain that the draft plans risked efforts to slash the country’s deficit. The deficit, or negative difference between income and outgoings for the Treasury, stood at more than
NO WORRIES: Montero said the EU would approve Spain’s plans.
€36.2 billion at the end of last year according to government data. “We understand that Brussels will give its endorsement to our budget plans,” Montero said after a Council of Ministers meeting last Friday. Pablo Casado, leader of
the conservative opposition Partido Popular (PP), said the budget plans amounted to a two-year election campaign for the ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE). “The government wants to spend money on unnecessary promises at the expense of the future deficit and debt,”
Casado said. EU officials are concerned about whether planned spending hikes can be covered by proposed increases in taxes, including the planned ‘digital’ levy on large technology firms. The EU has the power to strike down Spain’s budget
plans if it deems them too costly. Diplomatic sources said Brussels is not considering this. The Spanish government has been preparing its response to Brussels this week. All EU member states in the eurozone are required to submit their budget plans to officials in Brussels before enacting them into law. The warning comes as the EU showed concerns over plans for Italy’s budget, another country with a large deficit and national debt which also plans increases in spending. EU budget measures were brought in following the Eurozone debt crisis during the recession, which saw countries such as Greece receive large bailouts to cover yawning gaps in their books.

THE BIG PICTURE Nº 37
Melting away
Two held NATIONAL POLICE officers have arrested two suspects aged 33 and 40 in connection with the alleged manipulation of roulette wheels in a Jaen arcade in order to steal around €10,000. Officers opened the probe in July following complaints made by staff members who alleged winnings were wrongly obtained by moving the tables whilst spinning.
Fine deal MARBELLA’S council has been granted immediate access to some €2.7 million in fines from corruption cases collected by Spain’s Treasury through a special government subsidy. The agreement means the council will not have to wait for agreements due to be signed later this year to get the cash.
Drugs bust OFFICERS with the National Police have arrested a 28-year-old man in Fuengirola in connection with an investigation into the sale of marihuana and hashish from a store in the town. Proceedings have been sent to Fuengirola’s Second Court of Instruction, with almost 280 grams of marihuana and 55 grams of hashish seized.
IN RETREAT: Rising temperatures are melting the Monte Perdido Glacier. THIS view may be gone within a matter of years. The Monte Perdido Glacier, in the Pyrenees mountain range near the French border, is one of Spain’s last remaining glaciers. The one-kilometre long and 500 metres high glacier lies near the summit of the Vignemale mountain, one of the highest in the Pyrenees. The Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (CSIC) has been monitoring the
glacier since 2011 and data currently shows it is melting at an average rate of three centimetres a day. Ignacio Lopez-Moreno, of the CSIC, told Spanish media the glacier and others in Southern Europe w ould like ly be the firs t in the world to disappear. “Studying them is very important because we can learn about how glaciers behave in their final phases and to what extent melting can speed up or slow down,”
he said. The glacier was once one complete mass of ice but it has to split into two parts in recent decades. The upper area of it was almost flat in the 1950’s but now it slopes meaning snow is less likely to settle on its surface which speeds up the melting process. Lopez-Moreno said large parts of the glacier will vanish if temperatures continue to warm at current rates.
No guilt A COURT in Malaga City has cleared a Finnish defendant from Benalmadena following his trial on charges of abandoning his children after leaving them alone at home. The defendant’s lawyer said the case showed cultural differences between Spain and Finland where children are given greater degrees of independence from a younger age.
Water data THREE reservoirs serving Malaga Province collected enough water to cover nine months of consumption following storms last weekend, according to Environment Ministry figures. Two of the reservoirs, the Guadalhorce and Guadalteba, saw more than 300 litres per square metre of rainfall in 24 hours, close to the average collected by them in one year.
Holiday ‘scam’ A COURT in Marbella has bailed two suspects on charges in connection with an alleged holiday package sale scam worth more than €320,000. National Police probing the allegations claimed one of the detainees, a 58-year-old woman, was the ringleader of the scam which they said functioned as a pyramid scheme. The fraud has affected more than 100 people, officers added. Lawyers representing a group of people caught out by the scam claimed
victims were afforded holidays to places including Cancun in Mexico at below market rates. Some customers paid as much as €6,000 for trips which also included visits to Disneyland, places on cruises and honeymoon destinations. The victims received a confirmation email once the money had been transferred. The first trips paid for went ahead but the scheme imploded after the money made failed to cover its costs. The investigation continues.

Donkey taxi plans MIJAS’ council has proposed changes to rules for donkey taxis in a bid to improve the animals’ lives. Mayor Juan Carlos Maldonado drew up the plans along with the Malaga Bar Association’s Javier Lara and Mijas Council’s transport spokesperson Nuria Rodriguez. Mayor Maldonado said the changes, which include weight limits on riders and improvements to stable quality, were attempts to keep the service running in the face of changing times.

“We are going to improve the donkey’s quality of life while guaranteeing a service all Mijas families depend on because it is symbolic of the town,” Maldonado said. “We want to cover basic issues including making sure the donkeys are free of pain or injuries and they are healthy,” the mayor added. Animal charity PACMA said it doubted the council’s motives. It claimed the authority wanted to continue what it branded as the ‘abuse’ of the donkeys.

BACKTRACK: The Public Safety law is controversial.
‘Gag law’ u-turn SPAIN’S ruling political party has reportedly watered down plans to reform laws which have seen protests banned after the Prime Minister previously said changes were urgently needed. The left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) government has ruled out repealing measures in the Public Safety Law including ones to stop the filming of police officers and ‘express’ or ‘hot’ deportations. The latter refers to immigration authorities being able to immediately send migrants back to Morocco instead of processing them in Spain first. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is currently hearing a case filed by two migrants who were deported under the rules. Reports of backtracking on reform plans, based on internal government documents seen by Spanish media, come as the PSOE laid out plans for changes they do support. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said it was “essential” that some elements of the law are repealed. “Some parts of the law are a specific and effective violation of the right to assemble and associate freely and of the right to information,” the minister said.
Grande-Marlaska added the repeal of express deportations should be dealt with under the framework of immigration laws. Politicians should wait until the case concerning the two sub-Saharan migrants being heard in the ECHR in Strasbourg is resolved, Grande-Marlaska added. PSOE proposals to change the law, which are backed by their leftist Podemos allies in Parliament, include ending requirements to notify the authorities before staging protests. The party also reportedly wants to curb police powers and make it easier for people to identify officers on duty. Proposed changes include only allowing body searches if there is ‘concrete and verifiable’ evidence of wrongdoing and limiting the time detainees can be held without charge. Plans to abolish fines for filming police officers have been toned down. The PSOE now wants to keep the restrictions in cases where it could endanger officers, their families or investigations. The news comes as government data shows the Public Safety Law has resulted in the government collecting almost €270 million in fines from the law since it was introduced. The figure excludes fines collected this year.

OUR VIEW
The rain in Spain THE tail end of last week and the weekend saw torrential rain hitting the Costa del Sol with massive disruption and the sad death of one firefighter who was swept away when his vehicle got into difficulty. Roads were closed, rivers flooded and some of the towns which are perched high in the mountains saw their steep stairways becoming waterfalls. Parts of Malaga Province received as much as 70 per cent of their annual rainfall and one person had to be rescued by helicopter as the flood waters threatened her life. Some pockets of habitation were untouched by floods although the rain was heavy and continuous thunder and lightning played havoc with pets which in the main are terrified by loud noises. It would be easy to blame councils and the government for the fact that the infrastructure of drains and flood controls are insufficient but sudden heavy storms such as these can’t really be controlled and at the end of the day, sadly, one just has to live with the knowledge that as the climate changes, so this type of destructive weather is likely to continue. At the end of the day we can only feel sympathy for those who have seen their houses flooded and grateful to those working in the emergency services for all that they do to try to ensure the safety of citizens wherever they may be. Also spare a thought for the animal charities which have to try to cope with literally hundreds of terrified animals who run the risk of being flooded out.

Call for Spain to legalise cannabis SPAIN should legalise cannabis according to the leader of the Podemos political party. “It is absurd that you can buy tequila or gin from a supermarket, but marihuana is illegal,” said Pablo Iglesias, who has led the grass-roots anti austerity party since its inception. Podemos had organised a forum on the drug with a view to following nine USA states and Canada into legalising the cultivation, sale and consumption of cannabis. If their ideas come to fruition it would mean farmers would have a new cash crop. People would need a licence to grow, harvest and sell cannabis, with the political party aiming for controls which would favour private crops, small holdings and farming cooperatives in order to stop big business taking control. At the moment the sale and cultivation of the drug is illegal, as is the public consumption of the drug, although smoking it in private spaces is not deemed against the law. “The legalisation must be implemented mainly for medical use and research,” said Podemos. In a para-
MAKE IT LEGAL: Pablo Iglesias wants to relax cannabis laws.
dox, Spanish law permits the use of cannabis for therapeutic purposes, but it is not classed as a medicine so can’t be prescribed for medical purposes - only cannabis derived products may be used on a doctor’s prescription. Podemos said that legalising the drug would replace the black market, reduce crime and control the age of people buying it. At the moment 90 per cent of young people say they have easy access to cannabis. The political party added that tax revenues from the drug could be used to transform Spain’s public health care service. However, the proposals have a long way to go before they are made into law as there is no political consensus on the matter. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has avoided the debate on legalising the drug, saying when asked about the issue on a trip to Canada that he had enough problems as it is. Canada earlier this week partially legalised cannabis. People can now possess up to 30 grammes of the drug.

THE mayor of Barcelona has reported an incident caught on camera during a Ryanair flight from Spain where a man subjected an elderly black woman to a tirade of racist abuse The budget airline has faced criticism over its handling of the incident which occurred on a flight to Stansted Airport from the Spanish city. The incident was posted to Facebook by a fellow passenger, David Lawrence, captioned ‘share and shame.’ During the footage, a man is filmed unleashing a tirade of abuse upon an elderly, disabled woman. A row allegedly broke out between the passengers after Delsie Eunice Gayle, 77, was reportedly unable to move out of the way as the man attempted to reach his window seat. The man - who has been identified by neighbours as a 70-year-old former railway worker, is seen shouting at Mrs Gayle to move whilst her daughter tries to explain that her mother is disabled. He responded to the pleas of the daughter: “I don’t care whether she’s f******g disabled or not - if I tell her

He then proceeds to threaten using physical force on the woman in order to reach his seat: “If you don’t go to
another seat, I’ll push you to another seat.” The Ryanair cabin crew can be overheard attempting to diffuse the situation, offering an alternative seat to the elderly woman while another passenger verbally demanded the man
be removed from the flight. One man, dressed in a black t-shirt steps in attempting to put an end to the argument, shouting: “Stop. There’s no need for that at all” and “Just stop. Take it easy. Stop, please.”
At this point Mrs Gayle requests to be moved away from the man in order to sit with her daughter. The man was allowed to remain on the flight, keeping his original window seat. In the aftermath of the incident, Ryanair have been criticised for their handling of the situation. Questions have been raised over the capability of Ryanair’s cabin crew to deal with situations involving abusive passengers. Ryanair have since seen the footage and have reported the incident to Essex Police. But it is thought that as the incident happened on Spanish soil it is out of their jurisdiction. Mayor of Barcelona Ada Colau attacked Ryanair over their response to the attack and branded the perpetrator as a ‘swine.’ She said: “As the mayor of a feminist city that fights against all forms of discrimination, the images in the video are unbearable to me. “So I can’t even imagine how the victim of this aggression felt. The flight was leaving Barcelona, and Barcelona isn’t going to take something like this lying down.”

The economic category considered: savings, income, job security and career opportunities. Spain ranked in last place for the income and saving possibilities areas of this category. Expats in Spain typically earn less than the collective average. Only 13 per cent of expats said Spain offers better financial opportunities than their country of origin.

The purpose of the survey was to learn about how the life of an expat can vary from nation to nation in different aspects of life.

Gib no barrier to Brexit SPAIN’S Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says the status of Gibraltar after Brexit has “been resolved” and will be no barrier for the UK’s plans to leave the EU. Speaking after an EU leaders’ summit in Brussels he said: “Gibraltar will no longer be a problem in arriving at a Brexit deal.” Despite suggestions that there might be an extension to the deadline, as it stands Gibraltar will leave the EU at the same time as the UK on March 29 next year. There had been worries that Spain could veto any deal between the UK and the EU over Brexit due to the Gibraltar issue, but such concerns have gradually receded since
the more hawkish right wing government of Mariano Rajoy was replaced by the leftist PSOE party. While Sanchez said the issue would not stand in the way of a Brexit deal, he said that bi-lateral talks on the British Overseas Territory were continuing, particularly with regards to worker ’s movements across the border, tax and environmental matters. Recently mayors of towns in the Spanish Campo de Gibraltar area have complained that the national government was not doing anything to safeguard the rights and livelihoods of locals. Many Spanish cross the border daily to work, with Gibraltar a major part of the local economy.
RESOLVED: PM Pedro Sanchez says Gibraltar is no problem.

A SPANISH judge who shelved the case against prime suspect Simon Corner in the case of a missing expat mum in April this year has been ordered to reopen the case. Three judges at a higher provincial court in Cadiz have ordered the court in San Roque, which led the investigation into Lisa Brown’s disappearance in November 2015, to restart the inquiry. Judge Garcia Ramila said earlier this year: “This court has serious doubts Simon Corner is the person responsible for the crimes of homicide or unlawful detention being investigated.” In a 10-page written ruling, the judge insisted he was legally obliged to take into account the ‘lack of concrete proof ’ pointing towards Corner’s involvement in Lisa’s disappearance. The ruling meant that 35-year-old Corner was not extradited to Spain and was set free from the London prison cell where he had been held since his arrest at Heathrow Airport on a European Arrest Warrant. But now the judge has been told
he must rule on whether Simon Corner should be charged and prosecuted over Lisa’s disappearance following expert analysis of his mobile phone which was recovered from a harbour in Copenhagen in April 2016 after Corner’s arrest in the Danish capital. Speaking exclusively to the Euro Weekly News Lisa’s sister, Helen Jordan, said: “We are very encouraged by the news and we have always thought one day we would have justice for Lisa. “It’s coming up to three years that we have been fighting this and we have done everything and more than we ever thought possible. “We have had a lot of help from many people and authorities, particularly Guardia Civil who have been with us every step of the way.” She added: “We still need someone to speak up and tell us where Lisa is and what happened to her, this investigation is not going away and neither are we.” Helen said she believes after Corner was set free from the London prison he returned to Spain

and was released. “Where he is now is anyone’s guess.” Scottish mum-of-one Lisa, who was 32 when she vanished, was last seen at her home in Guadiaro near San Roque on November 4, 2015. The alarm was raised when she failed to collect son Marco, then aged eight, from school. Investigators have said they believed a ‘violent episode’ had taken place prior to her disappearance. Originally from Alexandria in Dumbartonshire, Lisa worked in Gibraltar and detectives suspect that she was killed, but her body has never been found. Liverpool-born yacht dealer Corner was held in Denmark on a European Arrest Warrant and extradited to Spain after leaving the country in the wake of Lisa’s disappearance.

Flu jab campaign starts HEALTH authorities began their annual vaccination campaign on Monday, October 22, to provide protection for those most at risk from influenza in Andalucia. The vaccination campaign is designed to protect the vulnerable population and to lower the risk of complications arising from the disease. Around 1.35 million doses of the influenza vaccination have been reserved ahead of the campaign, a 10 per cent increase on last year’s doses. Josefa Ruiz the Secretary General of Public Health de-
clared that 1,567 vaccination points will be accessible across Andalucia. The campaign has supposedly cost the government around €4.4 million. The flu jab campaign will run until December and will also offer the chance to be vaccinated against pneumococcus, one of the main bacteria that produces pneumonia. The flu jab campaign is aimed primarily at those over 65 who live in residences and day-care centres. People between 65 and 76 years old who have not been
vaccinated in previous years are also recommended to visit a vaccination point. The influenza virus is transmitted through the air, coughing or sneezing. According to Josefa Ruiz: “Vaccination is one of the most effective measures to prevent certain diseases, in this case the flu, in those population groups that are more vulnerable to the virus.” The Secretary of Health also stated pregnant women are welcome to be immunised in order to prevent the flu in both mother and newborn.

The four-star hotel, located in Manacor, will offer 39 rooms that are ‘intricately designed for women looking for a rest in a natural and Mediterranean environment.’
President of Som Hotels, Joan Enric Capella, explained that the hotel is a reaction to market trends, and that “it is an innovative project that will help to keep Mallorca at the forefront of the tourism industry.” Capella added that the concept of setting up a women-only hotel arose when observing “an increasing trend of business focused on the female public.”

Terror alert VATICAN: A commission to prevent child abuse, is to be set up before a meeting with the Pope. INCITING HATE: The detainees will face trial.
by Christophe De Chaume TWO men have been arrested in Alaquas (Valencia) and Cocentaina (Alicante) accused of belonging to jihadist organisations and spreading their extremist views on social media. According to the National Police, the Syrian suspects, aged 55 and 58, have become increasingly more radicalised and were active followers of Daesh and Al Qaeda.
One of the detainees was allegedly part of an instant messaging group that involved Daesh members who were sending him instructions and propaganda to distribute. Both suspects reportedly had hundreds of followers on social media and that they frequently posted messages and content inciting hate and violence against the West. They are facing charges of involvement in terrorist groups, indoctrination and glorifying terrorism.
Tackling sex abuse among clergy A SPANISH bishop accused of covering up sexual abuse is to lead a commission against paedophilia in the church. Juan Antonio Menendez proposes to update its protocols for action against these crimes. He is reported to say, ‘it is a matter of recovering and bringing back what the civil and canonical regulations have issued all these years’. The Spanish Episcopal Con-
ference will outline its actions, currently governed by agreements between Spain and the Vatican in 1979, and the Protocol of Action Against Abuses, activated in 2010, before many cases became public. It comes after Pope Francis declared he wants to open an ‘internal debate’ at the meeting in February 2019, where all presidents of the conference are expected to attend.
The new commission will be required to update current protocol, drafting new regulations for the prevention of child sex abuse and protection of crime. At the meeting will be jurists of the Episcopal Board of Legal Affairs, representatives from the Civil Legal Service, the Court of the Rota of the Apostolic Nunciature, the Legal Service of Parliament and Deputy Secretary for General Affairs.
Calls to unblock euthanasia bill By Tara Rippin THE Spanish Congress is expected to debate the legalisation of euthanasia tomorrow (Friday). The Popular Party (PP) wants to unblock a bill to regulate euthanasia, that was introduced by the Socialist Party (PSOE) earlier in the year. New President, Pablo Casado, intends to make public his opposition to the PSOE bill, which views euthanasia as an individual right to those suffering from an incurable disease or a serious, chronic and irreversible disability. He proposes a congression-
al debate and an alternative proposal. According to the PSOE bill, euthanasia would be available through public and private healthcare, although doctors could opt out, and there would be changes to the laws which currently make the act and physician-assisted death a crime. But the conservatives are against this proposal, and favour dignified death and palliative care, in common with an initiative by the liberal party Ciudadanos. Madrid and other Spanish regions, already have laws regarding palliative care, but
they do not condone euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. The majority of parties are in favour of regulating euthanasia, and argue that even once palliative care is made available to everyone, there will still be some people who need a law allowing them to end their lives. If the PP’s alternative is rejected tomorrow, as is expected, all parties must work to reword the bill, which would then be referred to the Justice Committee, before being put to another vote. Passage will rely on a majority of 176 votes.

Fan booze ban call MARK ROBERTS, Deputy Chief Constable, responsible for policing all football matters in Britain, has expressed a desire for foreign cities to limit alcohol sales to travelling England fans to help prevent hooliganism. DCC Roberts has said: “There is too big an element who drink and behave obnoxiously.” When England fans travelled to Sevilla for the Nations League clash with Spain, numerous incidents of antisocial behaviour were reported including clashes with Spanish police and damage to public property. DCC Roberts attributes this ‘hooliganism’ to the consumption of alcohol: “There is a significant contingent of people who cannot behave because of alcohol.” He did, however, acknowledge that those responsible for the trouble leading up to Monday’s game were a small number: “It is a minority, but there are far too many, and it would be wrong to try to minimise it as a small minority.” DCC Roberts has vowed to find a solution to England fans “drinking to excess and becoming disorderly.”

The decision follows Flemish Parliament President Jan Peumans’ comments on Spain’s handling of last year’s Catalan independence vote. Peumans said: “Anyone who uses violence at the ballot box, burns democracy.” He was referring to Madrid’s decision to deploy police in Cataluña to stop the referendum, which the Constitution Court ruled was illegal, from going ahead. Geert Bourgeois, MinisterPresident of the Belgian region, said Josep Borrell’s decision to strip Andre Hebbelinck of his status at Spain’s parliament was a “very unfriendly” act. The Flanders leader added he would summon Spain’s ambassador to Belgium to explain the situation. Borrell summoned Belgian Ambassador Marc Calcoen

Peuman had been speaking at the opening of a photography exhibition on the subject of Catalan independence. He said using violence during votes was “out of the question”, as was imprisoning politicians. Several pro-Catalan independence politicians remain in prison or in exile abroad in connection with the referendum. Belgium became involved in the Catalan independence issue after former Generalitat President Carles Puigdemont fled to the country when an arrest warrant was issued over his involvement in the push. Flanders also has a pro-independence movement, with its supporters sympathetic towards Cataluña seceding from Spain.

by Joe Gerrard PLANS to thwart a general strike, information about Basque terror groups and doubts about support from the Pope, are in documents from Francisco Franco’s dictatorship made public recently. The files, which come from the archives of the Segunda Bis military intelligence agency, feature communications from regime operatives and senior Franco officials. The documents, seen by Spanish media, also feature discussions on relations with the United States. One of the files discusses plans for a General Strike in June 1951 which was believed to be orchestrated by the Spanish Communist Party in a bid to overthrow the regime. The document said the government considered the plot of little importance but ordered preventative measures to be taken in the event it went ahead. The Minister of the Army at the time wrote in one of the documents: “Troops cannot be used without my authorisation.” Another file, from January 1968, sought to warn the military of the emerging Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA) group. The document, drawn up five months before the Basque nationalist terror group killed its first target, speaks of the ETA’s supposed leftist tendencies and its development throughout the 1960’s.

Long live Spain BY 2040, Spain is set to overtake Japan as the country with the longest life expectancy, according to a study published in the journal Lancet. With a predicted lifespan of 85.8 years, Spain will rise from fourth place to edge out Japan which will average 85.7 years. In another development, the United States will drop from 43rd position in the world (79.8 years) to 64th, while China will rise from 68th to 39th (81.9 years).
The United Kingdom is likely to rise up the league table from 26th place to 23rd, with life expectancy increasing from 80.8 years in 2016 to 83.3 years in 2040. Researchers based their study around five ‘drivers’ of average lifespans, which are all related to so-called ‘lifestyle’ diseases: high blood pressure, alcohol intake, tobacco use, being overweight, and high blood sugar. They also incorporated information
about rates of cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. The World Economic Forum’s ‘Global Competitiveness Report’ recently listed Spain as one of the healthiest countries, and it also ranks highly in its healthcare system. With the exception of Afghanistan, the bottom 30 countries in 2040 - with projected lifespans between 57 and 69 - are either in sub-Saharan Africa or small island states in the Pacific.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS
Weapons woes THE death of reporter Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul earlier this month has had global repercussions, with arms sales to Saudi Arabia once again called into question. Many have blamed the Saudi regime and have called for weapons shipments to end. The Saudis have denied any involvement and have vowed to investigate the death. Germany has already halted arms shipments to Riyadh this week and Canada is considering doing the same. Politicians in Spain have wrestled with the issue several times this year due to Riyadh’s intervention in the Yemen Civil War decried by human rights groups and others including Khashoggi. The weapons sales are highly lucrative for Spain. Madrid sold the third-largest amount of arms to the Saudis out of all other suppliers from 2012 to 2016. The country’s Navatia shipyard is also set to build five warships for the Saudis as part of a €1.8 billion contract. A trade union representing workers there is concerned that a diplomatic spat could risk thousands of jobs. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s ruling
ARMS CONCERNS: Spain’s King Felipe with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) is now in a difficult position. Pablo Echenique, of the leftist Podemos party, has called on the government to halt the sale of weapons to the Saudis. The PSOE depends on the wider Unidos Podemos leftist coalition’s 67 members of parliament to pass legislation, including the budget. But the party cannot afford to be
seen putting thousands of workers out of a job if they cancel the Navatia deal and others. Sanchez has so far erred on the side of keeping deals with the Saudis in place. In the wake of Khashoggi’s death, he may have to decide whether he wants to save those contracts or his delicate parliamentary alliance.
Call to vote BRITAIN’S ambassador to Spain has said a final vote on the country’s withdrawal from the European Union (EU) is unlikely. His comments come as an estimated 700,000 people marched through London to call for a ‘People’s Vote,’ or second referendum on Brexit. Brexit remains as divisive as ever but recent polls suggest public opinion in Britain is turning away from leaving the EU. A total of 47 per cent of people surveyed in a recent YouGov poll said Britain took the wrong decision when it voted to leave the bloc in 2016. Around 40 per cent said it was right. British Prime Minister Theresa May has already ruled out a second vote. If another ballot were to take place it would be unlikely to be put forward by Conservative MPs. Polling data suggests such a vote would likely be on a knife edge, making it unlikely that a second vote would settle matters once and for all. Hardline Brexiteers would brand the move as evidence of an establishment conspiracy to upend the 2016 referendum result. Remain supporters argue voters should be allowed a final say on what is arguably the biggest change in Britain’s constitutional arrangements since it joined the EU’s forerunner the EC in 1972. Unless there are major personnel changes in Westminster between now and next March Ambassador Manley looks set to be proved right.

NEW WORK: The Spain of Abel is out to mark the Constitution’s anniversary.
Constitution book SEVERAL young writers have collaborated on a book set be released to mark the 40th anniversary of the Spanish Constitution, covering topics such as democracy and national identity. La España de Abel (The Spain of Abel) is a collection of works produced by 40 authors from across all of Spain’s regions. The title is in reference to poet Antonio Machado’s work Por tierras de España (For lands of Spain) which closes with the line: ‘a piece of planet where the shadow of Cain wanders.’ Diplomat and essayist Juan
Claudio de Ramon and political scientist Aurora Nacarino-Brado, two of those behind the book, said they wanted the work to show Spain as a diverse society. “Cainism is an attitude of contempt for consensus and a preference for a form of agonist policy based on conflict. We wanted to turn the topic around,” they said. “We believe that in difficult situations it is a necessary and healthy exercise to stop and think about what unites us,” the academics said. The writers that have contributed to the book were
mostly born between the late 1970’s and the early 1990’s. They cover topics from the recession to foreign travels, to the anti-establishment 15-M protests in 2011 to Catalan independence and wider questions about Spanish identity. Nacarino-Brado said all the co-authors of the book agreed that Spain was a ‘reasonably amicable’ country to be born in. De Ramon said: “The book shows not only that there is a way to release burdens, it also attests to the fact many have already achieved it.”
Antarctic wildlife backing SPAIN’S Ecology Minister has backed an international campaign pushing for animals in Antarctica to be protected which began meetings last Monday to discuss conservation plans. Teresa Ribera appeared in a video in support of the Antarctic Ocean Commission which is made up of representatives from governments across the world. The Commission is discussing whether to declare a 1.8 million square kilometre area of the Antarctic Ocean, known as the Weddell Sea, the largest protected natural area on Earth. The meeting is being held in Tasmania, Australia and runs until Friday November 2. Ribera said protecting the Weddell Sea was “essential” to preserve a balanced ecosystem in the area.
“Resilience needs to be built up to deal with the impact of climate change and to preserve biodiversity which is a source of wealth,” Ribera said. Mario Rodriguez, the head of the environmental NGO Greenpeace in Spain, said the support of the Spanish government was “fundamental” to ensuring the waters were protected. “The bottom of the ocean may seem far away, but what happens there is crucial for our future,” Rodriguez said. The governments of Austria, Britain, Chile, France and Germany have all publicly backed efforts to protect the waters. They are home to whales, penguins, seals and other animals. The area is more than three and half times bigger than Spain.

Buying and selling a property in arrears WHEN an owner is not upto-date with their community fees it is quite common for the community of owners to start court proceedings to collect their unpaid money. In the majority of cases judges will rule in favour of the community and can embargo not only the property within the community but any other property or asset

in the debtor’s name. Once embargoed, the emba rgo, s pe c ifying the a mount ow ing s hould be registered with the land registry. This is very important should the property be sold or goes to a ‘subasta’ (auction). A c ommon mis unde rstanding here is that an embargoed property cannot be sold. Not only can a property be sold but if the debt is still not resolved, a property can still be sent for auction. In s hort, if you buy the prope rty - you buy a ny de bts or a t le a s t s ome of them. Potential buyers should check with the land registry to see if a property has an embargo on it, if so buyers will often deduct the outstanding amount from the sale price and pay it to the community themselves. Obviously not all debts to communities will have been p u r s u e d i n c o u r t , e m b a rgoed and the embargo then registered. Wi t h t h i s i n m i n d , t h e Law of Horizontal Property, the law governing all communities in Spain, obliges sellers at the time of sale, to provide the notary concerned with a certificate from their community regarding any debts, which
the notary then attaches to the purchase deed. Sometimes buyers, for what ever st r ange r eason, will release sellers from this obligation if so, this should be noted in the deeds by the notary. Unfortunately it does not follow that a buyer renouncing this right, will automatically assume responsibility for all the debts the seller has to their community. By law, buyers are only held responsible for the current year’s debts and three previous years. For example, a sale in 2018 on a property that has not paid community fees since 2012. The new owner will be responsible for the current year, 2018 but only as far back as 2015 and not f u r t h e r. I n t h i s c a s e , f o r 2012, 2013 and 2014 the community will have to p u r s u e t h e s e l l e r, a s t h e then owner. If the buyer requests their certificate and the certificat e r eveal s t he debt s go back further than the current year and t hr ee pr evi ous year s. I t does not f ol l ow that even knowing about the debts, the new owner has to accept r esponsi bi l i t y f or them. The above rule still applies.
Just requesting a certificate does not necessarily mean that a sale has gone through. Sellers are obliged to inform their community of a change of ownership, including those who are up to date in their payments. If they don’t, sellers can be held responsible for community fees long after the date of the sale. Although they could try to reclaim the payment from the new owner. New owners will usually make contact to arrange dir ect debi t s and exchange contact details etc but not always. If fees still go unpaid and after a few years t he com m uni t y deci de t o pursue the seller, who they assume still to be the owner, logically speaking as they are no longer the owner, the seller will refuse to pay but note, the Law of Horizontal Property clearly states, failure to communicate the sale of a pr oper t y m eans bot h the seller and the buyer are held jointly responsible for any unpai d com m uni t y fees. As usual, we the lawyers for Intercala Administration advi se t he r eader s of our m ont hl y ar t i cl es t o seek competent advice in all matters of the law.
Exotic insect arrives in Spain SCIENTISTS have warned of the arrival of a giant East Asian bee, after making the first sightings of the species in Europe. The 2.5 cm long ‘resin bee’ from Japan and China was found in two houses, one in Barcelona and the other in Girona, the first time the exotic species has been found in a European country. The bee is believed to have arrived last year
through the timber trade, as they nest in holes found in trunks, and walls with resin, clay and small bits of wood. Experts have stressed that the solitary insect can attack when it feels under threat, though cautiously, as its survival depends on reproduction. They advised against having exotic ornamental plants in gardens and parks.

Finance overhaul agreed SPAIN’S political parties have delivered their conclusions to the Commission for the Investigation of the Financial Crisis, which has lasted a year and a half. The PSOE, the PP, Ciudadanos, Podemos and the PNV agree that poor supervision has been a key factor, and are calling for radical changes. They recommend that the Bank of Spain monitors the solvency of banks, insurers and securities firms, while the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) controls the
by Tom Woods markets, the behaviour of intermediaries and commercialisation. After almost a hundred witnesses and hundreds of hours of debates and exhibitions, the political parties have produced a comprehensive review that will be presented at the full Congress in November. Both PSOE and PP agree that insurers be under the stewardship of the Bank of Spain, leaving the remit of the Ministry of Economy, but the Spanish Union of Insurance and
Reinsurance Entities (UNESPA) is against it. The PP said that banking and insurance companies must have a “binding resolution of disputes between all types of financial organisations and their customers,” something that has not happened up to now. The PSOE said that the current roles of the Bank of Spain and the CNMV “generates many inefficiencies and conflicts,” which is why a reordering of responsibilities was necessary.
THE Bank of Spain has called for a thorough investigation into international payments carried out using Blockchain technology, as it believes that certain elements are capable of making transactions efficient, fast and transparent. The bank particularly highlighted distributed ledger technology (DLT) as having great potential for the Spanish financial system. However, it did add that in order for DLT to be practical and efficient within the European financial system, its implementation should be centralised.

Share shock STANDING OUT: Ana Botin is Chief Executive of Santander. THE presence of women in the top management of Spanish listed companies remains a rarity. According to data recently released by the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), only 14.8 per cent of high-level positions are held by females. This is far from the target set for 2020 by the Code of Good Governance, which envisions women having 30 per cent of the share. The 14.8 per cent figure corresponds to 156 women in senior management positions in
listed companies. A gender gap is even higher among companies that have a turnover of less than €500 million, with the figure at only 19.9 per cent. Acerinox, Merlin Properties and Siemens Gamesa all have no female representatives on their boards, while ACS, BBVA, Grifols, Naturgy and Sacyr have less than 10 per cent. By contrast, Colonial and Red Electrica had the high proportion, at 50 per cent.

Riu to reap dividends THE company behind Dublin’s Gresham Hotel last year paid a €3 million dividend to new Spanish owners the Riu Group. Accounts just filed for the business also show that the company behind the hotel made a €4.9 million operating profit in 2017 on revenue of €17.6 million. The directors of the Gresham firm, who include Riu CEO Luis Guell, noted that while revenue and
profits at the iconic hotel on O’Connell Street fell last year, it is anticipated that the figures will improve. The latest set of accounts show that the Gresham generated €13.6m in revenue from room sales last year, and €3.5m from food and bar sales. The Riu group paid €92m for the Gresham, after the hotel had been put up for sale earlier that year by Nama.

Money rules the world
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT YET again we see a bunch of arrogant, socalled world leaders assassinate someone who disagrees with their policies. I think this rather bears out my recent column on governments stopping at nothing to eliminate any individual or group that may threaten their positions or control. However, what worries me about these two recent murders, is the almost unbelievable incompetence of those who organised these utterly despicable ‘hits.’ If their government’s level of intelligence is to be judged by these glaringly flawed acts of murder, it makes me extremely nervous regarding any decisions they may need to make on world issues. Mind you, I was more surprised with Putin’s botched assassination efforts than the Saudis. I did credit the Russian hierarchy as having a bit more savvy than the arrogant bunch who reign supreme over the sandy wastelands of Saudi Arabia. Having lived amongst them for some eight years, I can tell you that the only thing they have truly learned from the 21st century is that their money can buy virtually anything. I do feel however, that with the recent atrocious act of cruelty, against an unfortunate journalist who wanted nothing more than legal papers for his upcoming marriage, they may have just underestimated the intelligence of
MURDERED: Will the truth about Jamal Khashoggi’s death ever come to light? even Donald Trump. What they failed to realise, in their barely disguised threats to disrupt world oil supplies should their explanations not be accepted, is that unlike Russia, heavy sanctions would have them on their knees within in months. They manufacture nothing, grow nothing of
note and the heaviest work they are prepared to do is lift a pen to sign some lucrative deal or other. Without their imports, they would very soon be made to realise that you can’t eat oil or weapons of war. Having said that, you can rest assured that it will all sort itself out sooner or later. Money
still rules the world and is far more important than the life of the occasional rogue journalist or alleged traitor (or the sacrifice of those they set up to do the job!). In fact to these people, wealth is more important than millions of lives, as long as the results cement their positions of power. Mark my words, the faceless money-men who really run the planet, are burning the midnight oil and puffing frantically on their ‘Double Coronas’ as we speak! I’m rather more worried about the America/Russia nuclear treaty situation. With two highly arrogant individuals of somewhat flaky intellect in charge of their respective big red buttons, I fear we could find ourselves back in the dangerous situation we experienced in the Cold War/Cuban crisis of the 60’s. This time it is far more volatile. Iran, India, North Korea, Israel and Pakistan are now all nuclear powers. In the event of conflict between the East and West, any one of them, under the misapprehension that they could somehow be the last man standing, could bring down the apocalypse the Bible warns against. If that happens, we can all put our heads between our legs and whistle up our Barcelona’s! Keep the faith Love Leapy . leapylee2002@gmail.com

TECH FOR THE TIMID I WAS assaulted by aural barbed wire in the cinema the other day. One minute there I was, minding my own popcorn, the next I was savaged by verbal incontinence from a patron on his phone. As mobiles breed like a nuclear reactor (five billion phones now and growing fast), there are inevitably some downsides. From relying on messengers with cleft sticks just a couple of aeons ago, we want 24/7 communication, and we want it now. Mobiles are everywhere - especially everywhere they shouldn’t be, like in the hands of inattentive drivers at 120 kph - competing with the muzak in restaurants and rammed down our ears in public spaces. Perhaps they’ve even made c o m m u n i c a t i o n t o o e a s y. I n Denmark for instance, the advent of the mobile has inundated emergency services like those run by animal protection agencies. It’s all too easy to phone
The march of the mobile: ET tweet Sometimes it’s good to switch off home
while out walking, just to report a cow looking cold. I spent much of my youth in Africa, where the traditional local aspiration was a bicycle and a radio. Ah, simpler times, when later even the impoverished gardener we used to help out by providing ‘piece work’ had a mobile phone better than mine. With the world in our pockets, these days we’ve got Big Brother everywhere at every time. Wherever we go to get away
from it all, we take it right there with us. A n d w e a l m o s t n e v e r, e v e r, s w i t c h t h e t h i n g s o ff - e x c e p t overnight, and not always then if you’re a chronically sleep-deprived teenager. One study says that we check our phones on average every 12 minutes. Tw o i n f i v e a d u l t s l o o k a t their phones within five minutes of waking, while a third check them just before falling asleep,
according to the report. Guilty as charged m’lud, at least on the second two. A high percentage (71 per c e n t ) s a y t h e y n e v e r t u r n o ff their phone and 78 per cent say t h e y c o u l d n ’t l i v e w i t h o u t i t . The average daily time spent on a smartphone is two hours 28 minutes, rising to over three hours for 18 to 24-year-olds. As one pastor noted recently; ‘These days it’s quite something if people switch off their phones while they’re getting married, or on their deathbed.’ Certainly the march of the mobile is unstoppable and even beneficial to society; in rural areas it’s often cheaper to issue mobiles than to wire long and difficult terrain with landlines. But whether we are really any b e t t e r o ff b e i n g p e r m a n e n t l y within reach of family, friends and employers is something only you the user can decide. Don’t even think of phoning to tell me, though.
PHONING will soon be the one thing we don’t actually do with our phones, it seems. Although smartphone usage is rocketing, voice-calling drops by several per cent each year, and voicemail as a concept is all but dead. Millennials in particular think that calls are too intrusive, actually repelled by the idea of making or taking voice calls when a text will do nicely instead. So last year, for the first time, texting, tweeting and other social media, chat and other ‘indirect’ contacts, overtook the traditional voice call, with more than 35 per cent of interactions now in digital format. The trend was summed up neatly in an automatic call response I got from my nephew: ‘You’ve reached […....…..]. No one answers phone calls any more, send me a text.’

LOVE him or loathe him, there’s no way you can ignore Donald Trump. Or what’s said or written about his presidency - especially the so-called Russia connection. But why does he behave the way he does? If he’s innocent of any possible complicity, why does he keep acting as though he’s guilty? If he or his staff played absolutely no part in Russian election interference, why did he sack the FBI director James Comey, an own goal that led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller? Then there are his business links to Russia and the millions of dollars that reportedly ended up in his property empire from Russian sources. There is, too, that notorious Trump Tower meeting at which Donald Trump Jr allegedly expected to come by some scandal about Hillary Clinton from Russian sources. And there’s Trump himself, who has criticised America’s closest allies and publicly humiliated his FBI, but only ever speaks warmly of Putin, America’s foremost adversary. Was there genuine collusion between the Kremlin and the Trump election campaign

From ‘fake news’ to rewriting history
VICTORIOUS: But were Russia involved in Trump’s election win? resulting in his surprise victory? We’ll probably never know for sure. But one thing is for sure. To those who worship The Donald, he can do no wrong because he is The Donald. To suggest otherwise is worse than lying. It’s heresy. (As set in their ways and as uncompromising as an acquaintance when asked what he thought of the Renault 5. He unhesitatingly replied
they were definitely NOT guilty!) Trumpflakes mimic Trump - any news they don’t like is dubbed ‘fake news’ or ‘alternative facts’. As for Trump himself, he’s built electoral success on the premise that truth is in the eye of the beholder. For instance he was once addressing a rally in Kansas City and let slip something that sounded as though it had come straight out of George Orwell's apocalyptic novel, 1984. He said: “Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what's happening.” Oh, but it is, Mr Trump! Forget your ‘alternative facts.’ This is rewriting history...

LEGALLY SPEAKING
How are the votes weighted? Our community has 27 units of which 14 are villas on plots and 13 are attached row houses. The community has voted that all homeowners pay an equal share of the costs. One of our owners has now stipulated that the community fees per unit should be ‘As the law says.’ In other words, they should be assigned to each unit according to the coefficient of ownership of the property. What are the voting rights when the fees are charged according to the coefficient? P V (Costa Blanca) The Law of Horizontal Property David Searl establishes that each prop- You and the Law in Spain erty in a Community of Owners shall pay the yearly fees according to its share of ownership or ‘cuota.’ If some owners have larger apartments or plots, they will pay higher fees. This coefficient of ownership share is set in the original charter of the community not by vote. The law provides that votes are decided by a ‘double majority.’ This means that both individual owners and the weight of their shares must be considered. If your dissenting owner goes to court, the judge will surely order that this system be applied.

‘To me… To you’ Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I PURCHASED a pedometer for the ever suffering Mrs S for her birthday at her request. When she opened it and asked me to set it up she also handed me the booklet that had all the instructions in about 10 different languages. Well, I have to tell you, it was impossible - not because I didn’t know any of the 10 languages but because the writing was so small that it could not possibly be read. I don’t wear glasses, not even for reading, and I even tried with a magnifying glass and I still couldn’t work out what the instructions said. This has happened to me a few times recently. I challenge you to pick up any toothpaste box, deodorant can or, come to think of it anything in that size box, can or bottle and read the instructions on the back. So why? In their eagerness to create new and fancy products, companies very often overlook the optical needs of their older consumers. Sometimes that oversight is just a small daily annoyance. But, in some cases, it can also have potentially dangerous consequences. What if, as in many cases, there is something important that needs to be passed on regarding a potential safety issue? Regulations and lawyers have helped turn boxes, bottles and instruction
manuals into a fine-print nightmare by demanding so much information that the print must be tiny to accommodate it all. Otherwise, the packaging and manuals would be too big and costly. But that doesn’t help me or other oldies trying to read the darned things. Another reason is the young designers themselves. Young designers want to reinvent the world, but they have none of the problems of eyesight challenges. So it’s very difficult for them to imagine why fine print should be an issue. Having said that I bet some of them struggle too. Then, of course, a lot of companies are trying to go global and that means trying to fit text in several languages into one document or one bottle to meet each country’s regulations. I’m not even sure if there is a minimum size font they have to use. There is no point in complaining to any of the big companies because they don’t give a monkey’s but I am tempted to have a little try in contacting a few smaller companies to see what they say. I know it was a few weeks ago that Barry Chuckle of the Chuckle Brothers died but it made me think - I don’t believe anyone that has ever picked up a bit of furniture in their house to move it hasn’t uttered the now immortal phrase, ‘To me… To you.’ Not the funniest line ever but I’d love a Euro for every time a member of the public has used it. mikesenker@gmail.com

Home ownership as popular as ever A
CCORDING to a study by Vía Célere, a property developer specialising in building and managing residential assets, 74 per cent of Spaniards own their own home, with Andalucia (85 per cent), Aragon (76 per cent) and Asturias (75 per cent) leading the way. In contrast, the data show that 21 per cent of Spaniards live in rented accommodation. By age range, young people between 25 and 34 years old are those who opt to rent to a greater extent, while the Canary Islands (37 per cent), Cataluña (29 per cent) and Galicia (26 per cent), are the autonomous communities with the highest proportion of renters. The study also shows that 73 per cent of those who live on rent have thought about buying a home. Even so, they acknowledge that they encounter barriers that prevent them from buying, such as lack of money (25 per cent), an unstable work life (24 per cent), a reluctance to sign a mortgage (18 per cent) and the impossibility of obtaining financing (17 per cent). Thirty-eight per cent of homes owned were bought between 2000 and 2009, while 37 per cent were purchased before 2000. In addition, six out of 10 Spaniards indicate that the purchase price of their current home was less than €150,000. Some 84 per cent of Spaniards say they feel quite or very satisfied with their current home, with Madrid and Andalucia being the best-positioned

communities in this regard (91 per cent). Location (68 per cent) and price (64 per cent) appear to be the most important factors when choosing a home, although environmental services and construction quality also play a very important role. Flats (68 per cent), followed by vil-
las or houses (22 per cent) are the most demanded type of residence in Spain. In terms of the size and typology of Spanish households, 46 per cent live in dwellings between 81 and 120 m2 and 50 per cent say they live in a newly built dwelling. The possibility of personalising the dwelling is the characteristic for
which 74 per cent of Spaniards would be willing to pay a higher price, followed by an energy rating A (73 per cent) and a large kitchen (70 per cent). Common areas are also very attractive when it comes to choosing a residence. Having a park, a dog area and a bar nearby is highly valued by buyers.

Penthouses remain at top of the market T
HE penthouse remains the undisputed jewel in the Spanish housing market. Although the value of ground floor apartments has also rebounded, the top floors have increased the pricing gap. According to real estate portal www.pisos.com the typical penthouse in Spain costs €275,735 compared to €258,876 in 2017, meaning a year-on-year price increase of 6.51 per cent. As for ground floor flats, the current average price stands at €143,891 for 85 sqm. In 2017, the price was €139,058, an increase of 3.48 per cent. The buyer who wants to enjoy good views must spend 92 per cent more than one who is happy to keep at ground floor level - that is six

Ruling on loan tax postponed By Tara Rippin THE Supreme Court has suspended a decision to make banks responsible for mortgage tax as opposed to buyers, just 24 hours after it was made. Contrary to an earlier decision made in February, the court last week ruled that lenders should pay the Impuesto sobre Actos Juridicos Documentados (AJD), a tax paid by the borrower at the time of closing, when a notary officially certifies the sale and the loan. Judges had determined that the bank is the only party with a vested interest in having the loan documented by a notary, as it allows the lender to start foreclosure proceedings if the payments are not made. Because this privilege through public deed is given to the lender, judges deemed they should pay the fee, an announcement that led to heavy falls of the banks on the stock market. It had been suggested that if the estimated eight million mortgage holders in Spain were to demand the tax back, it could represent around €24 billion. But last Friday it was announced that in the coming weeks, a panel of 31 magistrates will decide if it accepts that the bank or the client should pay the tax.
points higher than last year. However the figures are to some extent comparing apples to pears as they do not take account of floor areas. The average penthouse sold this year has been 118 sqm compared to the 85 sqm for ground floors. Per square metre, a penthouse averages €2,337, still considerably more than the €1,693 for a ground floor home but not as big a difference as the headline figures suggest. According to Ferran Font, director of Estudios de pisos.com, “the penthouse is a safe investment that, in times of uncertainty, may see falls in price, but not significant ones. However, in moments of optimism, its value rises faster and higher then apartments on any other floor.”

€12.2 million house sale A
HOUSE in the Madrid region has being sold for €12.2 million in one of the most expensive sales carried out this year, according to a property website. The property, in the La Moraleja area, is three floors high and covers an area of 2,100 sqm on a plot of around 11,000 square metres, Idealista said. The sale was carried out through the Everyprop luxury estate agent. Spanish businessman Trinitario Casanova bought the property, according to reports. Architects Javier de Hita and Javier Lopez Sanchez designed the house in collaboration with Gustavo Ortiz. The house contains a 220 sqm master suite with two bathrooms. There are four other suites and two bedrooms in the property, all with en suites. The first floor houses a

It also features a paddle tennis and mini tennis court and a swimming pool. The house’s entrance consists of four metre automatic doors that open out onto a 70 sqm foyer. A staircase and panoramic lift connect the three floors,
one of which houses a 140 sqm private cinema with a four-metre wide screen. The second floor houses living areas, a kitchen, dining rooms and small office covering a space of 400 sqm. The third floor features several terraces along with the master suite, its bathrooms and a dressing room
which covers 80 sqm on its own. The property’s modernist design allows for expansive views across its plot of land. It has a garage with room for six cars. The house has an energy efficiency rating of ‘A’ due to its geothermal air conditioning system, insulation, lighting and treated glass.
Cost of renting through the roof THE cost of renting a property in Spain is now equivalent to nearly 50 per cent of an average worker’s salary, according to real estate portal pisos.com. An increase in demand for rented accommodation has pushed rental charges up by 15 per cent over the last year. At the same time, figures from the National Institute of Statistics show that wages have typically gone up by a mere 0.6 per cent over the same period. In some regions of the country the news is even worse for renters. In the Canary Islands, Cataluña and the Basque Country the cost of renting is closer to 55 per cent of average monthly earnings, in the Valencian Community it’s more than 60 per cent, and in Madrid and the Balearic Islands it’s a whopping 70 per cent. The report reveals that the most expensive parts of the country for property rentals are the Community of Madrid (€1,395 per month), the Basque Country (€1,126), and the Balearic Islands (€1,109).

House price hike F
IGURES released this week show that property prices in Spain have risen by 5 per cent in just 12 months. In the Balearics, the figure stands at 4 per cent. Most in demand on the islands are coastal properties, along with houses in the large cities such as Barcelona and Madrid, where prices continue to rise. According to the report from the ministry of development, the Balearics and the Canaries have seen the biggest increase in property prices since 2014, when Spain came out of the recession, with a growth of almost 20 per cent. But despite the rise, house prices across Spain remain 35 per cent lower than before the credit crunch in 2007.
RISE: The cost of property in the Balearics has increased by 4 per cent in a year. Only in the Balearics is the situation slightly better with property prices 22 per cent below those of 11
years ago. Reports from real estate agents indicate the overall market picture for the
Balearics is good, and that the main issue is finding quality homes and developments.
More living alone ONE in three people in Spain will live alone within the next 15 years, the National Institute of Statistics predicts. The Household Projection 2018 report shows that not only will nearly six million people live on their own by 2033, there will also be an increase in the number of senior citizens: one in four of the expected 49 million population will be over 65. The rise in single-person households is the main factor behind the forecast of nearly 10 per cent growth in the number of households overall in the 15-year period to just over 20 million. The Institute expects just 4.9 per cent growth in the population residing in family households over the same period, leading to the conclusion there will be less people living in each home. It forecasts average household size will drop from the current 2.5 people to 2.38. This compares with an average of 2.9 persons per property in 2001 and four people per property in 1970.

Housing market boost T
HE amount of houses sold in Spain during August stood at 44,637, the largest quantity for that month in more than a decade according to new figures. Data from Spain’s National Institute of Statistics (INE) showed the amount sold was the highest since August 2007, at the height of the pre-recession property boom.

First impressions key Keep it clean It’s logical enough, but a property should always be presented spick and span: kitchen tops wiped, bathrooms stain-free, newly dusted, and everything kept tidy. Clear the decks Declutter as far as possible, and remove surplus furniture to make rooms look more spacious. Good as new Owners might have long since stopped noticing the loose tile in the bathroom, the flakey paint in the sitting room corner or the mark on the bedroom wall, but a potential buyer will pick up on these kinds of small details and will get a sense the property has not been well maintained. Get round to doing the small repairs and the overdue decorating so the property look as at its very best.
FIRST impressions are vital when it comes to selling a property. The key is to get potential buyers already imagining themselves right at home there from the get-go. Giving a property the immediate wow factor does not have to be a complicated or costly process however. A house or apartment can go from forgettable to memorable with a few simple home staging techniques.
Depersonalise Put personal items like holiday souvenirs and knickknacks, family photos and kiddies’ toys out of sight to create a neutral look. Well defined spaces Each area of the property should have an easily identified function. So if for example a property is being sold as threebedroomed, then all three rooms should have a bed in them.
Let there be light Open the curtains, pull up the blinds, add extra light to dark corners, and if it can be avoided, don’t show the property on cloudy or rainy days. Freshening up Open windows 10 minutes or so before visits to let in clean, fresh air. Strategically placed flowers will also help to create an agreeable, welcoming ambience. Highlight the unique selling points Draw attention to the property’s unique selling points, whether it’s a Jacuzzi on the roof terrace, a sleek new kitchen or a charming fireplace.
SIMPLE: Declutter and keep your home clean.

Empty house plans SPAIN’S government has begun drawing up measures to stop speculators buying up empty homes. The ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) is aiming to reclassify housing as a public service ‘in the general interest’ to avoid empty properties being bought up as investments. The Housing Secretary General’s Office has also called for measures to end speculation on properties to be brought into law, as has the Development Ministry. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he wanted to take housing “far” from speculative buyers. “I am calling on all political forces to reach a pact that will turn housing into a right for citizens,” he said. The news comes as Jose Luis Abalos, the Development Minister, previ-
CHANGES FLOATED: Public housing would be protected under the plans. ously floated changes to property laws including extending lets from three to five years. He also announced plans to build 20,000 homes in areas where rent prices had been driven up due to high levels of demand. Changes to Spain’s National Housing Plan have
also been floated which would see houses built with public money made exempt from sales to investors. The proposals follow two rulings in which courts decided the social role of housing in their decisions on property sales. A Madrid court ruled in favour of an appeal
against the sale of almost 3,000 apartments to the Encasa Cibeles investment fund. Another Madrid court ruled earlier this year that publicly funded housing projects serve a social purpose and the sale of public housing violated the right to adequate housing.
Respectful, clean and sociable ACCORDING to a house sharing website the most requested qualit i e s o f a h o u s e m a t e a r e t o b e re spectful, clean and sociable. The website says those are the qualities people are looking for when searching for an ideal person to share a home, with 72 per cent of respondents saying that these features vary depending on whether you are still a student or already working. The main problems in house shares are cleaning issues with 61 per cent saying that accumulating dirt and rubbish in the shared, communal areas is a big problem, followed by privacy (40 per cent) and relationships (29 per cent). However, house sharing does have some benefits, 40 per cent said they became more organised and tidy as a result of sharing. The most in demand cities according to the site are Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Granada, Alicante and Malaga.

Evolution of second T home trends
HE international second property market has changed significantly in the last 10 years and now buyers are looking at gaining income through rent as opposed to buying solely for your own use. In the 70’s, only 10 per cent of owners rented out their second property. And at the turn of the millennium, only 20 per cent earned an income from their properties. But in the last few years, the situation has changed drastically, and more than two thirds of owners rent their second homes during certain periods of the year to cover all or part of the expenses. A third rent their properties out all year round. According to a leading estate agent which carried out the study, in an environment with ‘a low interest rate, investors look for assets that
INCOME: More second home owners want to earn money from their property. generate income.’ Today, buyers of second homes want properties that work financially and increasingly seek that they not only cover expenses, but generate profit.
It’s reported that 38 per cent of Spanish property owners make money from their properties and 28 per cent partially cover expenses. Experts claim the trend when
buying a second home differs depending on the country of origin of the owners. The study reveals that British owners are the ones who buy more secondary homes out-
side of their country. Just 24 per cent of those properties are located in the UK, 19 per cent are situated in France and 16 per cent in Spain. The top three destinations chosen by international owners are apparently the Algarve (5 per cent), Costal del Sol (4) and Costa Blanca (4). And only a quarter of the second homes of Dutch owners are in the Netherlands. When it comes to other countries involved in the study, the majority of owners have their second property in their own country. Less than 5 per cent of Spaniards, Italians and Portuguese, buy their second residences abroad. The main areas where Spanish properties are located are the Canary Islands (12 per cent), Costa del Sol (9 per cent) and in the Balearic Islands (9 per cent).

CAVE HOUSES: Getting more popular. EVERYONE loves a cave - or so it seems when talking about the ‘Hobbit holes’ that seem to be growing in popularity in certain parts of Spain. A new build cave house (or casa-cueva as they are known) is extremely rare, but there is a thriving market for older ones. One of the main benefits of cave houses is their natural insulation, which cools them down in summer and keeps them warm in winter - a great advantage in Spain where the climate can vary wildly through the year. One of the areas in Spain where there
Live in a cave… are most cave houses is in the province of Granada. Those in the regions of Guadix and El Marquesado and the Baza-Huescar area are particularly fa-
mous and have become a huge tourist attraction. Locals and foreigners alike have seen the tourism potential of the properties. So many a rundown or aban-
doned house has been refurbished for use as rural accommodation. This area of Granada has a climate that is hot and dry in summer but very cold in the winter, so the advantages of cave houses has made them a traditional form of housing for centuries. Most of those seen today were hewn out of the terrain in the 19th century by farm workers. They are becoming increasingly popular with foreigners looking not just for somewhere to live, but also for a great business opportunity, as they are popular amongst tourists who are aware of the importance of protecting the environment.

A house with an edge SPANISH architect Ramon Esteve has completed a Norway-inspired mountainside property surrounded by pine trees and vegetation. Located in Alicante on Spain’s south eastern coast, the house has been conceived as a concrete block that rests gently on the sloping terrain. ‘Oslo House’ is made up of two overlapping spaces set back from one another to draw in daylight and ventilation. Esteve’s unique design plays creatively with light and shadow, and openings in the floor slabs allow natural light to enter the residence as the sun’s position moves throughout the day. This helps to establish a closer relationship between indoor and outdoor space, and from the main living area the house opens out towards the landscape, taking in sweeping sea views. The ground floor has been extended with a beautiful infinity pool which blends into the horizon. As for the choice of materials, cool concrete walls juxtapose the warmer wooden textures used inside the home, and the house is fully painted in creamy white.

An island of tranquility M
ENORCA was the last territory in Spain to fall to General Franco in 1939, and in a fit of pique the military dictator ensured the Balearic isle received no funds during the Spanish tourism boom of the 1950’s and 1960’s. Menorca never caught up and remains charmingly unspoilt, with 1.7 million tourists last year, a fraction of Mallorca’s near 14 million. There are no mega-resorts, no giant aquariums or huge beer kellers, but there are plenty of uncrowded beaches along its 134 miles of coastline. It is lined with low key towns and tranquil rural fincas, into which high-profile actors like Daniel Craig and Benedict Cumberbatch can disappear. It is not surprising therefore that the property market in
BEAUTIFUL: Ciutadella de Menorca.
UNSPOILT IDYLL: Low key Menorca is an attractive getaway. Menorca is more sedate compared with that of its Balearic sisters, and Spanish and French buyers are vigorously capitalising on its affordability. “This unique and beautiful island has huge poten-
tial as the Balearic with the biggest growth opportunity,” says Alejandra Vanoli. Property prices are about 25 to 35 per cent less than in Mallorca, says Gary Hobson, Managing Director of estate agency Engel &Volkers Mallorca North.
“Many buyers have looked at Mallorca, but the appeal of Menorca is that you can get a seafront property for €1.5 million to €1.8 million.” The British have long favoured the east of the island in and around capital Mahon.

House hunters home in onSpain
P
ROPERTY buyers looking for a retreat overseas are understandably turning to Spain, one of the most popular European countries among retirees and young people alike. Spain is reportedly more affordable for expatriates at the moment than it has been in decades, with day-to-day expenses said to be lower than in the UK. Alicante, on Spain’s eastern Mediterranean coast, is home to about 334,000 people, and not surprisingly so as the city offers all the modern conveniences, including an international airport. According to real estate agents, apartments can be snapped up in the centre for under €100,000. Valencia is Spain’s third largest city, and benefits from convenient air and rail
FORT OFFER: Rooms come priced at €500 a month.

CAPITAL: Madrid combines everything. connections, major hospitals, universities, parks, museums and historic centres. But the cost of living and real estate in Valencia is still cheaper than in Barcelona and Madrid. Rents for one and two bedroom apartments in decent neighbourhoods start at around €550 a month, while sales start at about €110,000.
Malaga is another attractive location with its pedestrian only city centre and revamped harbour. Apartments start at under €175,000, and around €450 a month to rent. Stylish Barcelona is popular for retirees because of its climate, culture, infrastructure, public services, accessibility and cost of living. Around €220,000 will buy a modern apartment for two.
ROOMS in a Castle near Madrid have come onto the market and they could be yours for €500 a month. The fortress, in the Guadalajara area and an hour and a half from the Spanish capital, covers an area of 2,000 sqm and contains more than 20 rooms. It was built in the 13th century, made up of nine floors and sits on a 6,000 square metre
plot of land. The catch to the €500 a month rental rate is that the castle is empty so anyone who rents a room would have to furnish it out of their own pocket. The owner of the castle told the Idealista property portal website that it was also possible to buy a part or all of the property. Rent and durations are negotiable, the owner added.

Green light after 130 years Sagrada Familia gets building permit in multi-million deal
A
NYONE who has tried to build a property in Spain will be familiar with the bureaucracy and red tape that must be sorted out before the first bricks are laid. But despite all the paperwork officials would never wait more than a century to grant building permits, unless the property in question is one of Spain’s most famous landmarks. Planning authorities in Barcelona granted permits to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral 136 years after foundations for it were laid in the Catalan capital. Cathedral authorities have agreed to pay €36 million for the permit. City authorities

hood. A spokesperson for the basilica said on Twitter the agreement
to begin the necessary procedures to get a works licence from the council had been
signed. Barcelona’s mayor Ada Colau said its status should be regu-
larised by next year. The religious building, designed by architect Antoni Gaudi, sits on a plot of land that has been marked as empty in Barcelona’s property registry since 1995. The land is owned by the diocese of Barcelona, according to reports. Previous arrangements meant the City Council had no oversight on the building works. Building works to the Sagrada Familia are due to be completed in 2026, 100 years after Gaudi’s death. The building is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has attracted around 4.5 million visitors every year, an average of 12,000 a day.

Obviously this will be dictated by the shape, size and weight of the objects to be shifted. It is also vital to settle whether those moving intend to do the packing themselves or if they plan to pay the removals company to do the job.

Showing buyers your home I
F you want to make a timely sale of your home, it is worth remembering a few pointers when showing people
around. On the day of the viewing it’s important that the property is decluttered and tidy and the place throughout smells nice. If any rooms suffer from insufficient sunlight turn on the lights. Always start the showing in the best room and finish in the best room. Importantly, let the buyers look through the property on their own. Don’t follow them around. If you really think you should show them around, say this is to let them know what’s where. Always let them enter the room first. Once you’ve shown them around give them time on their own. Ideally you don’t want to be present at all. Good advice is to let an agent conduct the viewing. It makes for a more relaxed atmosphere for the buyer. You don’t want to be put on the spot when they ask you direct questions like ‘what are the neighbours like?’ Plan for any possible questions by writing down the answers. Are the neighbours noisy? Only on Sunday afternoons when they stand in a circle holding hands singing Kumbaya My Lord -
apart from that they are friendly sorts. Best not to tell them a lie. Make sure your home smells nice. Give it a good airing. Use pot pourri. If you’ve got pets take steps to reduce their smell. Put on a pot of coffee. Plug in air fresheners to diffuse a smell through the house, don’t make it too obvious though. Do not smoke, as the smell can be a turn off. Worth mentioning again declutter, ideally move non-essential items into storage or your friend’s garage. This will give the impression of more space and by also removing family photos it will allow the prospective buyers to visualise themselves in the home. Always focus on the positive aspects of the property. Be friendly, accommodating, welcoming and forthcoming with information. Be a good listener people's favourite thing is to talk Spain’s central about thembank estimates a selves. 12 month capital And finally, nevgain on property er show anyone of 6.8%. around without an appointment.

Three out of four buyers take out mortgage T
HREE out of four buyers in Spain take out mortgages to finance their property purchase, a recent report by Fotocasa reveals. In the last 12 months, 4 per cent of Spaniards over the age of 18 acquired a house or apartment, and of those 75 per cent applied for mortgages - up from 71 per cent last year. So far this year, in the region of 144,000 mortgages have been taken out, 11 per cent more than over the same period of 2017. Nearly six out of 10 people who have taken out mortgages in the last 12 months were women and 77
34% The banks are lending again with the number of mortgages approved up 34% on a year ago.
THE kind of person who purchases a property in Spain can be broken down into five broad categories, a Comprar casa study suggests. To begin with there is the first-time buyer, typically a young person aged between 25 and 35 looking to leave the family nest and set up home on their own. According to the report, the chances are they won’t have a huge amount of savings and may have to overcome various obstacles in order to get a mortgage. On average, first-time buyers stay in their first rung on the property ladder home for around eight years. Then you have the buyers who have outgrown the starter home due to changing circumstances. Maybe they’re now living with their partner, children have arrived, or they simply have different needs. The report identifies these as often 35 to 45 years old, although there are also the retirement age buyers looking to downsize. In both cases their available budget tends to be around the €350,000 mark, de-

out 10 as living as a couple, and half of those have children. Before buying this year, 89 per cent were already living in their own property and 11 per cent were renting. Around 88 per cent bought properties to be used as their main residence, while 8 per cent bought holiday homes and 3 per cent acquired property as an investment. By area, Madrid and Barcelona accounted for the lion’s share of mortgages at 26 and 21 per cent of the total respectively. They are followed by Andalucia (14 per cent), the Valencian Community (8 per cent), and the Basque Country (5 per cent).
pending on where in the country they live. A third buyer classification is those searching for a second property to use as a holiday home or weekend getaway, usually somewhere on the coast or an inland rural location. They may also be thinking longer-term, planning to live full time in the property following retirement. The report gives the typical budget for this kind of buyer as €129,000, but adds this could be considerably higher in pricier parts of the country, among them Cataluña, the Costa del Sol and the Balearic Islands. Moving on there is the small investor, or the people who opt to put their savings in good old bricks and mortar, who quite possibly plan to rent out the property. Within this grouping the report includes foreign buyers as well as Spaniards, usually over-50s who don’t need a mortgage, with an average budget of about €95,000. Finally there are the big investors, the professionals or companies, both national and based overseas.

Child’s play at the heart of International Early Years Education by Nicky de Comarmond, Head of EYFS and Primary at Laude San Pedro International College CHILDREN are amazing. From the moment they are born they begin to learn; every experience they have teaches them something about the world they live in, how to interact with others and about themselves. It is then ever more fascinating to consider that different countries within Europe start their compulsory education at very different ages, from four years old in Northern Ireland, to seven years old in Finland and Denmark, amongst others. However, families are now beginning to put their children into an educational setting at a much younger age, so what are the benefits for a child’s learning experiences? The early years are exceptional in a child’s life; having the right experiences at a very young age can set the precedent for a child’s approach to learning throughout their educational life - their relationships with the ‘teachers,’ their experiences and social interactions are the building blocks for a positive learning jour-
NICKY DE COMARMOND: Has been a teacher and leader for the past 20 years. ney. Staff working in early years settings are highly trained to nurture and pursue every child’s learning journey. What looks like ‘play’ are carefully crafted and organised experiences which develop key skills in a child’s emotional, social and physical development. For the youngest of learners,
this is individualised to take into account each child’s schema - their fascination and essential brain development, meaning opportunities can be specifically created to develop the learning of each individual child. Learning for two to five-year-olds is often child initiated - allowing children to explore encourages inde-
pendence and confidence. The constant adaptability of staff who work with these young children means they may seem to be following the child’s lead, but are in fact cleverly pursuing learning opportunities without the child realising. Between the ages of two and three, a child’s brain ‘power’ increases at
an astonishing rate, allowing them to absorb and remember more. An added advantage that lies within an international schooling environment is the natural acquisition of additional daily languages which are beyond the home language, enriching their learning power and broadening their language capabilities. What advantages do you see for your child in an international early years setting? Nicky de Comarmond is currently Head of EYFS and Primary at Laude San Pedro International College. She has been a teacher and leader for the past 20 years and has been in her current position for five years. Nicky believes that every child is truly amazing and when they feel happy and safe, have the potential to be guided towards success, whatever that looks for them as individuals. Come and meet Nicky at Laude San Pedro’s Open Morning on November 23 at 10am to see the vibrant learning opportunities available.

YOU might be tempted to think that when it comes to holidays, we are creatures of habit, and you are right! However, there’s an undeniable trend that tour operators and travel companies have cottoned onto, and gone are the days where all we needed was sun, sea and a beach to lie on. Enter a new generation of travellers demanding eco-tourism, archeological explorations, rainforest trails, and every variation of walking tours you can possibly imagine. It’s a funny thing, but the less we have to walk, the more we want to. Typically we live longer, fuller, fitter lives and people taking walking holidays tend to be higher income explorers, or empty nesters enjoying their hard-earned freedom and leisure time. There’s no better way to immerse yourself in local culture, history and spectacular scenery than getting up close and personal by walking through your chosen location.
Take a walk on the wild side, Globelink’s got you covered Whether you opt for a guided tour with like-minded travellers, or goit-alone with the help of a trusted map and guide book, you won’t beat getting to know your surroundings than by feeling the earth under your feet. You’ll boost your knowledge, mental well-being, physical fitness and feel a sense of achievement, especially with a gastronomic treat and a fine wine to finish off a perfect day’s exploration. Learn something new each day, or combine your favourite interests like history, archaeology, food and wine. Retrace the route of Alexander the Great through Turkey, or tread a well-loved path through the vineyards of the Dordogne or Alsace. Perhaps you fancy something a little off the beaten track, like the vast wilderness of Iceland. Explore a roaring 100ft waterfall like Strúts-

cured meats. At Globelink Travel Insurance, we get your itchy feet covered as we proudly offer Travel Insurance for people aged up to 89 years living anywhere in Europe.

- and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
ELSA ARTADI, Minister of the Presidency and spokeswoman of Cataluña’s regional government, could be in trouble. An independent, who is said to be sp e n d i n g t o o mu ch time in Madrid. That’s one black mark against her name already. Like all Catalan pro-independence politicians, she wears a yello w r i b b o n t o d emo n s tra te her solidarity with the remanded or se l f - e x i l e d me mb ers of the previous regional government. N o w, r u m o u r h a s it th at s h e does not wear her ribbon all the time . “ Sh e o n l y p u ts it o n fo r press c o n f e r e n c e s an d p u b lic functions.” a tell-tale reveals. “She takes it off whenever she can because she says it spoils her clothes.” Re a ssu r i n g t o k n o w th at at le a st t h e r e ’s o n e s ep ara tis t with a m i n i m u m o f co mmo n sense.

COLOUR CLASH: Apparently Elsa Artadi (pictured) doesn’t always wear the yellow ribbon.
Hard right, soft centre THE PP’s leaders Pablo Casado an d A lb ert Rive ra , w ho he a ds Ciudadanos, will use Andalucia’s reg io n al ele c tions to w oo the Right.
Both are wasting their time. A large proportion of the Right will vote for Casado anyway because they have never voted anything other than PP. He should look to the voters who wanted former vice-president Soraya Saenz de Santamaria as party leader, not a young fogey. There’s no denying that Rivera is in a good position to scoop up votes from PP supporters, attracted by his rigid stance regarding Cataluña, but if he veers too far to the Right, he will cheese off his Centre voters. It’s the undecided Centre who bring Spanish politicians their election victories, not the Right, as Casado and Rivera could learn to their cost on December 2.
Not my bad MARIANO RAJOY, president of the Spa nis h gove rnme nt until May 31, spoke recently about the w a y he w a s e vic te d from the Moncloa.
Talking to students in Quito (Ecuador) he attributed his departure to the ‘sad role’ of the PSOE and the PNV nationalist party’s ‘lack of personality.’ Oh. Right. So it had nothing to do with National High Court’s reference to the Partido Popular’s ‘institutional corruption’ regarding funding when announcing the Gurtel case verdicts. Nothing to do with the same court’s decision that the Caja B the PP’s slush fund of black money - did exist. Nothing to do with Rajoy’s unconvincing testimony during the Gurtel trial which, according to the judges, put his credibility in doubt. Nothing to do with all those allegedly corrupt ex-ministers, remanded ex-ministers and sentenced ex-ministers. N othin g t o do wi t h Gur t el , Gurtel and more Gurtel. Gurtel? Nothing to do with him. As always, it was everybody else’s bad, never Mariano Rajoy’s.
The barest minimum PEDRO SANCHEZ and the Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias have signed a 2019 Budget pact. This increases new spendi ng by €2.8 bi l l i on and am ongst ot her t hi ngs wi l l raise the minimum wage. Obviously the Partido Popul ar has t o oppose t hi s on principle, but the Confederation of Business Organisat i ons ( CEOE) - Spai n’s equivalent of the CBI - has warned that this could hold back increases for the rest of the wage-earners. “My heart bleeds” is what those who are paid the minimum wage are probably saying.

Man-size tissues at the ready TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis …OR should that be ‘non gender specific, large tissues at the ready,’ well, whatever you call them, we needed them on Sunday evening when BBC1’s drama The Cry came to an end. It seems to have been running for much longer than four weeks and what a journey Joanna and Alistair have been on. Do you remember the scenes on the flight to Australia and the harrowing intrusion of the Press? I won’t give away the ending, just in case you were doing something else on Sunday, you know, like trying to save your finca from a Biblical storm, but enough to say Stella Gonet (Alistair’s Mum, Elizabeth) steals the show. You can binge watch The Cry on BBC iPlayer. Whilst BBC1 were concluding things down under, ITV were ensuring that Monday’s chat at the water cooler wouldn’t be dull, by showing the second instalment of Butterfly. Max is now Maxine and all Hell is breaking out. Two scenes stood out on Sunday, the brilliant Alison Stead-
CRYING SHAME: BBC1’s The Cry came to an end on Sunday evening. man (granny) declaring that Maxine is no grandson of hers - quite right granny, Maxine is now your granddaughter and secondly, Dad Stephen calling out the school bullies by reminding them that knocking someone out in order to protect a loved one from a hate crime is all right in his book. This is hard hitting stuff, tackling a subject most of us know little about, whilst pushing some TV boundaries too. Episodes one and two are available on the ITV Hub, episode three is on ITV next Sunday.
Strictly not mentioning THAT kiss, Come Dancing continued over the weekend. Bruno was off doing something else, so Alfonso Ribeiro joined the judges and made a big impression. As much as we love Bruno, Alfonso was a hit, so I hope that whatever Mr T was doing was worth it because the Fresh Prince star looked really comfortable in the fourth judge’s chair. Vicki and Graziano left the show on Sunday. Let’s hope Bruno is allowed back this weekend for the Halloween special.
I’m not much of a fan of breakfast shows on TV, Radio 4 does it for me, but ITV’s Good Morning Britain rattled a few cages last week and this time it wasn’t Piers Morgan who had the masses screaming at their TV over the cornflakes (or wheatgerm toast with honey, depending on your post code) no, this time it was Ben and Charlotte who ignited the blue touch paper and then failed to retire to a safe distance. Ben and Charlotte were discussing Disney movies being banned or rewritten to reflect ‘modern women’ with two experts (where do they find these people?) both of whom liked the sound of their own voices way too much. We didn’t reach a conclusion, Twitter went crazy and I have reported Prince Charming to the Guardia Civil for being a non-feminist. I know where I stand on this topic, but I don’t want to risk overloading the postal service by saying any more. Looking ahead (I haven’t forgotten, Caroline) The Great Model Railway Challenge continues on Channel 5 on Friday - no more info needed really, Channel 4 is Standing up to Cancer, again on Friday and if you are in the mood for a late night movie, Deepwater Horizon is on CH4 on Sunday night.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You are likely to reveal information unintentionally. You’ll find it easy to charm members of the opposite sex this week. Have some fun, but draw the line if someone tries to fast talk their way into your heart. You have to let go of your past if you wish to get out of any sentimental mood that might be hanging over your head. Your lucky day this week will be Saturday.
STRICTLY FRUITS: Including tomatoes and peppers as they carry their seeds on the inside.
Trivia from around the world *** Bell peppers are usually sold green. This is their colour when they are least ripe. If left on the plant peppers change colour, becoming darker the riper they are and changing to yellow, orange, purple and red *** According to botanists, a banana is actually a berry *** The majority of the nutrients in a potato are found just beneath its skin
*** Tomatoes are the most popular fruit in the world and made of 94.5 per cent water *** White potatoes were first grown in the Andes Mountains, South America *** Apples can be up to a year old when you buy them in a supermarket thanks to controlled atmosphere storage which can preserve them for between six and 12 months
*** A baked potato contains four grams of fibre *** A pomegranate contains 600 to 1,400 seeds. Its name comes from the Medieval Latin meaning ‘apple seeded.’ The fruit in turn gave its name to the weapon the grenade *** The most expensive fruit sold for €24,474 at auction last year. The pair of Yubari melons came from Yubari, Japan.
DID YOU KNOW? In botanical terms, a fruit is the seed-bearing part of a flowering plant. While people commonly use the term fruit to refer to sweet crops such as apples, there are many plants that are strictly fruits because they carry their seeds on the inside, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, pumpkins and peas.

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games, 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Your home environment may be hectic, which could result in emotional upset if you aren’t well organised. Try not to take everything so seriously. Be sure to find out all you can before you commit to anything. There might be a problem with a will or with an insurance policy. Your lucky day this week will be Thursday.

Your ability to visualise will help you convince others of the possibilities. Insincere gestures of friendliness may be misleading. Spend some time with people who can shed some light on your personal situation.
Don’t be too quick to voice your opinion. Listen to others carefully. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Those you work with may have little consideration for the underdog. You can raise your standard of living if you pick up some freelance work on the side. Don’t jump into investments too quickly. Try not to overreact to the loss. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Use your energy wisely. You may find yourself in the limelight for the wrong reasons. Someone envious of your popularity may challenge you to a debate. Travel for business purposes may bring the highest returns. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) You can ferret out secret information if you just listen to what others have to say. Travel will be good if you are seeking knowledge. Minor accidents may occur if you don’t concentrate on what you’re doing. Problems with financial investments could make you nervous. Your lucky day this week will be Wednesday.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Changes involving your domestic scene may be unpleasant. Try to mix business with pleasure while travelling. You can convince anyone of anything. Get your domestic chores out of the way early.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Arguments with children or friends may leave you steaming. You will have excellent ideas and you should be able to help your partner get ahead. Concern yourself with legal matters and formulating contracts rather than finalising your objectives.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) You need to sit back and enjoy. Things have been moving so quickly that you need to do something physical to release your tension. Unexpected changes in friendships could occur. Make creative changes to your living quarters.

True democracy more complicated DEMOCRACY, well now we dream of that, all of us in our hearts, but the ruling on the case where Northern Irish bakers refused to bake a cake with a gay theme (Leapy Lee Issue 1737), was not democratic as I see it. The bakery is in the business of baking cakes, what the required writing on the cake has to do with the cake making business is beyond my understanding, it was just a personal choice similar to Aunt Bridget’s birthday. Real democracy would not get involved with such nonsense. We are all in this life together, but when we side against ‘the other’ it leads to dreadful outcomes as what else is war? If we continue to think with ideas of majorities versus minorities we will never understand democracy or what it is attempting to be - that simplification is just majority rules which in its truest sense is not actually what democracy means.

The drinks are on the house!! Marbella Moments by Nicole King WE launched the English television programme Marbella Now as a means of better communication within our multinational population. Not only has the programme been a success but the three United Nationalities of Marbella summits we have held to promote further understanding and collaboration between the 140+ nationalities that call Marbella home have also been very well received. We address many different key issues but ‘how to get around the city without using a car’ is always at the top of the list. Traffic controls in Spain can be more than a little intimidating and even one glass of wine may exceed the legal Spanish limit (lower than the UK) and therefore we tend to stay in the areas where we live, losing many opportunities and events because of this. With this information in hand and knowing that many local businesses’

This means that policyholders can call for a FREE TAXI SERVICE up to four times a month to take them home after a night out, WITH NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

the unknown horrors and costs of a potential traffic accident, particularly with so many different nationalities going about it every which way but the right way! Our latest incentive to reward the #ZeroHero is also being very well received. The idea is to reward the designated driver with free soft drinks in the participating establishments, which can be verified with disposable alcohol

Lina of the Linekers Group was the next person I told and she was equally as supportive. We, I, haven’t had much time to contact many companies yet to ask them to also participate which has delayed the official ‘launch,’ but the good news is that those with whom I have spoken have also eagerly come on board. So to date, apart from The Boardwalk and The Linekers Group we can also say that The Harbour, Beckett’s, The Playwright, La Red Chiringuito, Qué Padre Mexican restaurant, The Hard Rock Café, The Kempinski Bahia Hotel, and latest to sign up Kitch Social Club and Restaurant who I cornered whilst recording next week’s Marbella Now TV show are now also #ZeroHeroes.

Linley and Mercer create ‘the Aquilo’ The Aquilo, manufactured to appeal to individuals who value handcrafted peerless design, blends the unique skills and artistry of Linley and Mercer, and combines their respective arts of marine chronometry and cabinet making to create the unique piece. The design is inspired by the bow of a yacht. Made from slip match blue eucalyptus with a streak of AQUILO: solid oxidized oak, with Movement details that evoke the floating on sea, like the subtle ‘la double gimbals. rose des vents’ engraved into the base, which also has a mirror set into the surface to reflect the movement.

An elegant open work dial magnifies the intricacies of the complicated movement. Its counters feature numerals finely obtained through bas relief technique and the hands are steel, hand finished with bluing. Linley says “Like horology, making furniture is all about precision. With its beautifully crafted pieces meticulously tucked away, the Aquilo marine chronometer is an extraordinary one-off object d’art that fuses these two universes.” “Hand-made furniture has a character that is utterly individual and bespoke pieces come alive by connecting their owners to the hand and soul of the maker.” Mercer created a new movement, the Calibre TM3002 for the Aquilo, one which belongs to the exclusive family of astronomical movements. Featuring a perpetual calendar which displays hour, minute, day, month, and leap year, it also indicates the equation of time representing the difference between solar time and our 24-hour day.

WE all know fish is good for us at any time of our lives, but now scientists have found it can be particularly beneficial after we retire. Researchers have found that eating a diet rich in oily fish can reduce the risk of age-related illnesses by up to a quarter. The study carried out at Tufts University in Boston, showed that pensioners with higher levels of Omega 3 oils, those found in oily fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines, were up to 24 per cent less likely to develop heart disease, dementia and cancer. Scientists say the oils could also help to regulate blood pressure, heart rate and inflammation. Researchers tracked 2,662 people with an average age of 74 to see how they aged. The study’s lead author, Heidi TM Lai explained, “In our study we found that adults with higher blood levels of Omega 3 from seafood were more likely to live longer and healthier lives, so it is a great idea to eat more fish.” In addition, the research showed, participants in the highest group consumed about one additional weekly serving of fish, compared with the lowest group.

Get glowing THE recent trend towards healthy, glowing complexions has also seen a move away from traditional ‘scrub’ type exfoliators to their slightly more sophisticated chemical cousins. Although the words ‘acid peel’ may bring to mind horror stories of red, angry skin, many new formulas created using natural plant or sugar acids can be gently effective. What’s more, because acids ‘gobble’ up dead skin cells rather than simply sloughing them off, they can provide a multitude of additional benefits, including higher cell turnover, increased collagen production, reduction in hyperpigmentation from sun damage (definitely a plus in Spain) and improvement in skin tone. Skin peels use one or more acids and come in a variety of forms, from toners to masks and skin pads to serums. The chemicals used range from glycolic acid derived from sugar, to malic acid from apples, and citric acid from fruit. There is also salicylic acid, a very strong and drying form of acid derived from plants. This is generally only advised for topical use, for example on a blemish rather than all over the face. In contrast, one of the gentlest acids, lactic acid, is derived from milk and provides a very light exfoliation. In fact, for an all-over gentle body exfoliation you can simply add a small
amount of powdered milk to your bath (just don’t mind the slight dairy smell!). So are acid peels for you? Unless you suffer from eczema or another skin condition, or have particularly sensitive skin, you can generally find a peel gentle enough to work for you. The less sensitive your skin is - and the longer you have been using acids - the stronger the formula you will be able to use. Sensitive and normal skin will benefit from the gentlest of peels in the form of a toner or serum, such as Pixi Glow Tonic which offers a mixture of gentle acids from €12 and promises to ‘reveal a brighter, glowing complexion.’ Oily, acne-prone or mature skins may be able to take slightly stronger formulas such as the Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel pads, from €16.50, which claims to lessen, ‘depth of lines,’ and reduce, ‘visibility of pores,’ as well as getting to work on sun damage. The main thing to remember, whatever your skin type, is that acids make your skin more sensitive to sun burn and hyperpigmentation, and so you should regularly use an SPF 30 to 50 for at least two weeks afterwards.

Back pain - what works CHRONIC lower back pain is becoming a big problem. In the UK, USA and Australia it is fighting to be the number one reason people are off work. So what is the solution? Lumbar Fusion Surgery? Although there are a number of different methods all involve joining or fusing together two of the bony discs in the spine so that they no longer move, the theory being that it is the movement that causes the pain. What is success? When you think of the criteria for successful surgery what are your definitions? No more pain? Full range of movement? Back to work? Studies show that only 32 per cent of ‘successful’ spinal fusion patients return to work within two years.
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com A recent lawsuit in the USA deemed that lumbar fusion surgery was successful even though it left the patient paralysed from the waist down. A survey of spinal surgeons in the US asked about the use of an artificial disc. Although 75 per cent would recommend it for their patients, only 9 per cent would have the surgery themselves. So what are my options? Stay active - although doctors used to prescribe bed rest for back pain keeping moving stops the muscles stiffening up and caus-
ing more pain. So stay as active as you comfortably can. (marathons optional!) Ibruprofen and anti-inflammatories help. Try to stay away from cortisone and steroid injections as these actually break down the discs and tissues in the spine causing long term problems. Physiotherapy - long term studies show that when it comes to those success criteria I mentioned before, no pain, full range of movement, back to work, that in the groups that had just physiotherapy (no surgery) there was a much higher success rate. And that those patients who had a greater range of movement, were back to work within six months and had reduced pain.

Back in matte trend shows no signs of abating, a raft of new products released this week show the look has evolved for autumn and winter, pairing a naturally glowing face with a sophisticated matte lip. This may not seem like good news for those of us who equate matte with dryness and creasing, but despair not. Gone are the cakey, dehydrating formulas of yesteryear, and in are moisturising products offering a blurred, perfecting look. The even better news? Matte formulas tend to stay on the lip longer than glossier ones and leave fewer marks on cups and glasses.
So if you want to be ‘on trend’ just in time for party season, why not try out either of this week’s newest re-
soft-focus finish, which promises s e.e to even out imperfecle lin b ay tions. leases :M t i ed Cr Chanel’s launch offers a including range of six shades from Chanel’s Rouge Liqnudes to bright reds, while uid Powder lipstick, €35, or MAC offers slightly more MAC’s Powder Kiss, selection with 15 shades, in€19.50.

FOR more than a year now the hottest beauty trend has been for glowing, youthful looking skin. The look saw major cosmetics companies move away from powder finish foundations, primers and moisturisers to lighter formulas promising the dewy glow of a teenager. Even blushers and eyeshadows got in on the act with powders replaced by creams, gels and glosses. Highlighters - formerly the preserve of the 1980’s also came back on trend with subtle cream and liquid formulas used to gently add glow to cheekbones and brow bones. While the ‘lit from within’
THE DYSON AIRWRAP: The new hair styler promises to take the hassle out of styling.
Heat without the hurt? BLOW DRYING. Straightening. Curling. There are plenty of ways to damage our hair in the name of styling. Whilst we can limit the damage by using lower heat, heat protectors and hydrating products, is there a way of limiting the harm at the source? Dyson certainly seem to think so. Perhaps better known for its hoovers than its haircare, the brand has sought to make in-roads in the beauty market, first launching a hairdryer two years ago and now a hair multi-tool. The Dyson Airwrap Hair Styler comes with a hefty price tag (€499.99) but promises to take the hassle and damage out of styling. Designed to be used on wet hair, the tool also comes with six attachments, using a mixture of warm air and suction to draw hair in before drying and styling.
Using less heat than straighteners, a maximum 150 degrees Celsius compared to a typical straightener at 185 degrees, the tool promises less breakage and shorter styling times. The Airwrap works by ‘gripping’ the hair using innovative technology, eliminating the need for clips or barrels and creates large or small curls. Other attachments include a dryer and heated brush to straighten and dry hair. If spending almost €500 on a hair product doesn’t appeal to you, there are other multitools designed to reduce the stress and time of styling. At around a 10th of the price is the Babybliss Airstyler Big Hair (€46.45). This heated brush can style hair from wet using a spinning ceramic barrel to recreate the effect of a professional blow dry, either curling hair or drying it straight.

THERE are numerous types of detox available, promoting a variety of health benefits, although most of them contain some standard elements. Whichever detox you choose, the first thing to do is lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to the healing process. Some believe the detox can be taken to the next level by minimising the use of chemical cleaners and chemical based healthcare products like shampoos and deodorants. Natural alternatives can be used instead. Stress can have a hugely adverse impact on the body, triggering stress hormones into your system and can contribute to excess toxins in the system so it is important during a detox to keep your mind calm and in a stress free environment.

Hiding tiredness OUR busy everyday lives can be shattering in the modern world. There may be many reasons why you’re tired such as job stress, insomnia, burning the candle at both ends, or personal issues. In a perfect world we’d take a week off to relax and catch up with sleep but hello... this is not a perfect world, chin up and let’s get on with it, we need a quick make-up fix! Tiredness can be hard to cover, but here are some tips: For bloodshot eyes, either
HEALTH & BEAUTY
MAKE-UP: Can transform a tired face into a fresh face look if applied correctly. from exhaustion or crying, flesh-toned eyeliner is your new best friend. Go for a shade only slightly darker than your natural skin tone to cover those red rims. Matte shades are more subtle but shimmery ones have some great brightening power. A touch of blue mascara can work wonders on making the whites of your eyes appear whiter and in elimi-
nating the appearance of the red tones. For those dark circles which may be anything from grey to blue to dark purple try a peachy or yellowytoned concealer. Peach looks more natural, but yellow is brightening. Your skin may be showing the tell-tale signs of tiredness even if the rest of your face isn’t. Dull, lifeless skin can be perked up with a refresher spray. If it’s kept in the fridge then it’ll help refresh skin and reduce puffiness. Light foundation or BB cream is always a lifesaver in these situations but go easy, as trowelling it on never helps. A cream blush is a great fix for the face as it introduces a soft glow for a fresh-faced look, instead of harsh unnatural colours. For cool undertones use a babypink shade, and for warm complexions, opt for something a little more peachy.
DETOX: Lots of different regimes. fective at reducing stress by bringing your body and mind into harmony. There are hundreds of detox programmes, recipes and regimes depending on your needs. Many programmes follow a seven-day schedule because it takes a few days to properly cleanse the blood. An example of a detox
routine may include fasting on liquids for two days, followed by a carefullyplanned five-day detox diet to allow the digestive system to rest. Some popular detox regimes are: Simple Fruit and Veggie Detox, Smoothie cleanse, Juice Cleanse, Sugar Detox and Hypoallergenic Detox.
Taking care of your skin SKIN is one of the largest body organs. Caring for your skin can directly affect overall health. Skin acts like a protective shield and is most vulnerable to outside elements. Factors that affect it are: • Exposure to UV radiation in tanning beds • Exposure to chemical toxins in tobacco • Unprotected sun exposure for a long time • Not getting enough rest, water or nutrition • Ageing Skin should be cleansed regularly, typically twice a day. Toner applied for oily skin, moisturiser for dry. It is recommended to get examined by a doctor or dermatologist annually for any changes if any irritations occur. It is important that the skin is protected from too much sun, as this could increase wrinkles or lead to skin cancer. A protective shield. Foods rich in antioxidants, including blueberries, avocados and wholegrain protect from free radical damage to keep the skin looking plump and healthy.

by John Smith ACCORDING to Muddy Waters The Blues had a Baby and they called it Rock and Roll but there is little doubt that one of the midwives involved was British prod u ce r, re c o rd l a be l ow ne r a nd singer Mike Vernon. This is a man who was involved in the early careers of Eric Clapton, John Mayall, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After, Savoy Brown and Chicken Shack as well as a myriad of American Blues performers. Now nearly 74 he is concentrating more on his singing and will b e p e rfo rmin g a t the B lue s , Rock’N’Roll and Boogie Woogie Weekend being held at the Teatro Goya in Puerto Banus on Friday N o v e mb er 9 and Sa turda y N ovember 10.

Headliners are the Kid Carlos Band with Mike Vernon as guest singer and unusually, this fivepiece band, like Lito include a female singer in their line-up. With a new album released and a huge
back catalogue from Mike Vernon to be explored, their appearance at the festival promises to be exciting and a first for Spain. Mike has also recently released a new album as Mike Vernon & The Mighty Combo whose guitarist just happens to be Kid Carlos.
Saturday night sees a performance by Los Ejectivos, a fourpiece who hit the ground running and cover popul ar songs by a range of Spanish and American artists including Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix. The last band to appear will be Mingo and the Blues Intruders who describe themselves as the Boogie Woogiest Quartet to ever appear on stage. They are veterans of t he i nt er nat i onal bl ues scene and will be joined for this performance by Francisco Simon, one of the top Spanish blues guitarists to emerge from that scene wi t h si x al bum s under hi s bel t over a 15-year period.

WE WILL ROCK YOU: Ran for more than 10 years in London. THERE is a chance to enjoy a first class meal at the luxurious Puente Romano Hotel in Marbella this Saturday to celebrate Halloween and to raise money for The Children’s Trust. Tickets cost €95 for a meal which includes wine (or €45
for children) and to add to the evening, there will be prizes for those wearing the best costume and a performance from members of the original cast of the musical We Will Rock You which was one of the longest running musicals of all time in the West End and is still touring around the world. Based on a script by Ben Elton and with the collaboration of Brian May and Roger Taylor, the musical tells the story of a world set in the fu-
ture where music is banned, but a bunch of Bohemians performing a selection of songs written and recorded by Queen recover the situation. It is particularly appropriate that Queen songs should be performed on Saturday night as the brand new Freddie Mercury Biopic Bohemian Rhapsody was premiered in London just a few days earlier. The Children’s Trust is the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury and is
set in a beautiful old building (with modern conveniences) in acres of land in Tadworth, Surrey. It is closely connected with Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital and looks after long term disabled children as well as those who have suffered from accidents and car crashes. Tickets for this deserving and fun event may obtained by emailing events@puentero mano.com or by calling 952 820 900.
Plenty to see at Salon Varietes FOLLOWING the tremendous success of The Wizard of Oz there is still so much more going on at the Salon Varietes Theatre in Fuengirola over the next few weeks. This Saturday and Sunday, International Country singer Johnny Westwood will be performing a selection of much loved Country songs Then from Friday November 2 to Tuesday November 6, there will be a short run of KES the poignant, powerful and moving story of a young boy’s relationship with a Kestrel based on the film of the same name directed by Ken Loach. For this performance, the audience need not worry about a bird of prey swooping from the
rafters as a live bird will not be included in the cast. Following this gritty drama, the mood gets a little lighter with a performance of Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award-winning hilarious comedy of manners, history and architecture, Lettice and Lovage which runs from Friday November 16 to Tuesday November 20. Tickets can be bought by telephoning the Box Office on 952 474 542 between 11am and 2.30pm or by going direct to the theatre’s website at www.salonvarietestheatre.com. Each performance starts at 7.30pm except on Sundays where the show commences at 7pm.

ZOMBIE TUNA: Mixing two traditions in Spain.
New town on the Costa del Sol FOR a few days, residents will discover that they are living in a new town, namely Horrormolinas as parts of Torremolinos are transformed. There will be two days of mayhem, firstly on Saturday at the Botanical Gardens between 4pm and 8pm youngsters will be invited to discover the secrets of spe-
cial effects with a number of workshops as well enjoying a number of musical entertainments and magic. Everything calms down until Halloween night, when the activities move to the Plaza de la Nogalera with a street parade from 4.30pm to 5pm, judging of children’s costumes with prizes fol-
lowed by Quimi Rock at 6pm, a musical aimed at children. At 8pm until midnight, it’s the turn of the adults with a costume contest, music from Electroduendes and Money Makers and the chilling opening of the House of Terror (which is suitable for all ages, but little ones under 12 must be accompanied by an adult).

Flamenco recognised as a Cultural Heritage IT was as recently as 2010 that UNESCO declared flamenco as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and since then, the town of Benalmadena has held an annual celebration of that art with the seventh event running from November 10 to 16 this year. As part of the celebration of flamenco week, the organisers (Benalmadena Council and La Peña flamenca La Repompa) are recognising the much overlooked poetry of women of the group of Spanish writers known as Generation 27. Whilst influential in the 1920’s, they became disenfranchised and overlooked during the Spanish Civil War and it is the intention to try to remind people of their bravery and influence. Monday November 12 has been designated the day of Poetry and Flamenco which sees a performance from 9pm at the Cultural Centre with recitals from their work and music played by Antonio Cortés on guitar and Filo from Los Patios singing. Other presentations include on Saturday, November 10, the 11th Flamenco Cuchara to be held at the Museo-Centro
Taurino, with a traditional Andalucian menu and the flamenco voice of Jesús Jiménez Gaspar with Luis El Salao on guitar. Then Tuesday November 13 sees the Castle Bil-Bil host a concert by José Valencia and Juan Requena. Whilst on Wednesday November 14 at 9pm, the music returns to the Cultural Centre with Jóvenes Flamenco, featuring artists from the School of the Federation of Peñas Flamencas de Málaga. On Thursday November 15 the cinema-club Más Madera will be added to the programme of flamenco week with the screening of Alexis Morante’s documentary ‘Camarón, flamenco y revolució,’ at the Cultural Centre again at 9pm. The same venue sees the closing gala the following day when the guitarist Luis El Salao will present the singer Mari Peña, who will give a recital accompanied on guitar by Antonio Moya. As a finishing touch there will a flamenco party with guitar of Luis El Salao, dance of Luisa Chicano and Ramón Heredia, and singing of Manuel de la Curra, José M Fernández and Canito.

RADISHES: Grow your own in the home.
Grow your own indoors
A SUNNY space and the right soil is all you need to create a mini allotment inside your home. You can save yourself a trip to the market by cultivating vegetables, fruits and edible plants in the home all year round. By placing a pot with specially designed indoor potting soil and drainage holes next to a window with lots of sunshine, can see you well on your way to harvesting crops in no time at all. Some of the best types of vegetable to try are leafy greens and lettuce which do well inside all year round, with the right drainage. Spinach isn’t keen on moisture, so it’s essential to grow your greens in a well-draining soil in a pot with good drainage holes. Indoor potting mix ensures
proper drainage and air exposure for the roots. Strawberries can be grown in pots or hanging planters throughout the year, provided they have plenty of sunlight. You could consider buying growing lights or a hydroponic system which would also allow you to grow tomatoes without having to move them outdoors once established. Again, when growing both, good drainage is vital. Potatoes can surprisingly grow well in fuss-free planter pouches, though they will need a lot of light once they take hold. They will also need a bit more space than fruit and vegetables. Scallions are ideal for gardening beginners as they’re

easy to care for and don’t need as much sunlight as other veggies. On the contrary, radishes, which are known to do well indoors, need heaps of light, and you will need a deep container for the growing bulbs. Micro-greens are not just easy to grow, they are extremely good for you, packed with up to 40 times more vitamins and nutrients than fully grown vegetables and plants. An idea is to start with a mixture of baby kale, beets and arugula, which harvest at an incredible speed. Herbs also grow very well in the home, such as basil, rosemary, cilantro, chives, thyme, parsley and oregano. Cold air may cause wilting, so make sure they are not too close to a window during the winter months.
ALL YEAR: Strawberries can be grown indoors throughout the year.
Warming tips for the home THE winter is almost upon us. The days are getting shorter and temperatures have dropped both outside and inside the house. Keeping warm is expensive and apparently accounts for more than 70 per cent of household energy consumption at this time of year. But there are ways to reduce heat consumption, which in
turn cuts bills while helping the environment, too. It sounds obvious, but opening curtains and blinds during the day and closing them at night is a great way to heat your home. During the daytime, keeping them open lets the sunlight and warmth in. In the evenings, they act as a layer of insulation to keep heat
SOFA: Don’t block heat by placing settee in front of radiators.
in the rooms. If you have radiators, a good idea is to place tinfoil behind them. It helps insulate from the cold and retain warmth in the home. The idea is that the heat is reflected back into the rooms, meaning they warm up faster and stay that way longer. Setting your central heating boiler to turn on the heat 30 minutes before you get out of
bed in the morning, but at a lower temperature, is cheaper than turning it on when you get up at a higher temperature. The same applies to pellet burners. Rather than leaving the heat generators on all day, set the timers to come on for when you return. Pipe-lagging with foam tubes keeps the water inside hotter for longer and pro-
tects against the cold. And, while tempting, placing your sofa close to the heating prevents warmth from circulating in the living room as well as damaging your settees.
WARM HOMES: Opening curtains in the day lets heat in.

Older children and dogs
David THE Dogman columnists@ewnmediagroup.com
don’t allow them to walk your dog alone. They may be able to manage your well behaved pet, but would they cope if attacked by a large stray? Show children the correct way to befriend other people’s dogs - ask the owner first, then offer a hand for the dog to sniff from below his nose before you pat him. Not all dogs are friendly. Your child should not approach strays and must never go with strangers to see ‘the puppies at home’! With visits from other people’s children the general rules apply, but however much he loves them your dog’s ‘level of tolerance’ will be lower if he does not live with children all the time. Children and dogs must learn together from you, how to get along. If it all gets too much, he may appreciate some time in his indoor kennel or another room. Most dogs need space.
THE same rules apply, especially the ones about mutual respect and supervision. Dogs are not living toys, especially when bringing a puppy into a family where children already live. Don’t allow children (or anyone else!) to feed your dog from the table; suitable leftovers can be mixed into his meal afterwards. It is particularly important to ‘clear up’ after your dog in the garden when your child becomes old enough to play there. Keep your dog out of the way when your children have friends round or are playing energetic games. It’s fun for your child to fuss and play with your dog, but teach games where you keep control, and always supervise. Older children should help feed, groom and train your pet so that they learn about the responsibilities as well as the fun of pets. Make sure your child always washes their hands afterwards. Children love to hold the lead, but
CAUTION: Dogs are not toys and your child has to be aware of the dangers.
The cat who adopted humans Simo was deposited on the doorstep as a kitten by an adult female - he wasn’t her own SIMO was just a kitten when he was left on a stranger’s doorstep.

Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a
www.euroweeklynews.com cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

“ Bloodhound out of breath
MOTORING FACT
THE British land speed record (LSR) attempt has run out of financial road and gone bust. Supersonic land vehicle Bloodhound requires another €28 million to guarantee funding for future record attempts, up to and including eventually going for 1,000mph on an 11.8-mile track at Hakskeen Pan in South Africa’s Northern Cape. The administrator is FRP Advisory LLP and Andrew Sheridan, its joint administrator, acknowledges the ground-breaking nature of the Bloodhound project. “Administration provides some breathing space to identify an investor who will bring the guaranteed funding, impetus and expertise required to drive the project,” he said. “The €28 million the Bloodhound requires to break the land speed record is a fraction of the cost of, for example, finishing last in a Formula 1 season or running an America’s Cup team.” It was always going to be an uphill task, both technical-
IN 1865 the British government introduced the Locomotive Act, which required each vehicle to have three people on board: a driver, a stoker for the boiler, and a man walking ahead with a red flag to warn people.
RECORD-BREAKER: With funding, the Bloodhound can make land speed history. ly and financially. The project to build the 14metre 135,000 thrust horsepower jet and rocket-powered car has been overseen by Richard Noble, team founder and former LSR record holder. He and his co-founder and
Bloodhound driver, Wing Commander Andy Green, have been full-time fundraisers since 2007 when the project was launched. Yet through endless public appearances, speeches to industry leaders and schoolchildren, meet and greets at
conferences and endless press rounds, neither of them have flagged or been anything less than supremely enthusiastic. Many were called on in that time but few stepped up, though they have had crucial sponsorship and partnerships with Rolls-Royce, Castrol,
Rolex, Cisco, Oracle and Geely, as well as the Ministry of Defence, which loaned expert staff and provided the EJ200. The public too, have been inspired by the project, donating millions to have their name on the tail fin or to

watch the first runs of the car at Newquay aerodrome last autumn. It was actually Paul Drayson, businessman, amateur racing driver and the then British Minister of Science back in 2009, who encouraged the duo to push on and try to break 1,000mph. With major skills shortages hindering UK manufacturing companies, Drayson was also looking to inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers with the ‘Apollo Effect.’ To that end, education was always key to the Bloodhound project and in its role as a contributor to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) campaign, it has reached more than two million children since launch, including 120,000 UK schoolchildren a year. Even the low-level airspeed record, which is no longer contested, stands at ‘only’ 994mph. Unlike Formula 1, there are no restrictions on design, besides the stipulation for four or more wheels, two of which are required for steering. The rest is down to the imagination and creativity of the team, as well as the skill and bravery of the driver. Mark Chapman, Bloodhound’s chief engineer, has kept the team plugging on in the face of adversity, and said: “With the right support we have no doubt that the project will achieve its aims and could be racing for the record in as little as 10 months.”

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher DESPITE the relentless rise of the SUV, the demand for larger people-carriers remains solid, as there are bigger families and those with business needs where extra space is important. Most of the mainstream manufacturers have an MPV in their ranks, notably the Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan, and there is another very strong contender from the VW stable, the SEAT Alhambra. Named after an opulent palace in Granada, Spain, the Alhambra has won several ‘Best MPV’ awards, scoring highly for its occupant and load capacity and its range of strong flexible engines. There are petrol and diesels on offer with different power outputs and with manual or auto gearboxes. Prices start at €32,340 (£28,395) for the entry S version, but most buyers opt for models further up the range. My test model was in Xcellence trim, with a 2.0 litre diesel engine and six-speed DSG auto gearbox.
MOTORING
SEAT Alhambra Xcellence STATS PANEL Model: Fiat 500C Lounge Engine: 1.2 litre petrol Transmission: 5 speed manual Performance: 0-100 kph 12.9 seconds, top speed 160 kph (99 mph) Economy: 21.2 kpl (60 mpg)
Model tested is UKspecification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets. Equipment on this version, which costs €40,040 (£35,155), is extensive and includes leather upholstery, reversing camera, sat-nav, threezone climate control, alloy wheels, roof rails, auto lights and wipers, cruise control, connectivity features and a panoramic sunroof.
ELEGANCE: The new Alhambra is as spacious as a palace inside.
The cabin is a pleasant place to be, thanks to clever design which makes maximum use of the space, and leaves adequate room for adults even on the third row of seats. There are plenty of storage spaces around the cabin and the boot holds 267 litres even with all seven seats in use. With all seats fold-
ed, you get a massive van-like 2,297 litres of load space. The Alhambra has wide electrically-operated rear doors, making rear seat access easy, and very handy when in tight parking situations when there isn't enough room to fully open a conventional door. Underway, the 148hp diesel
unit pulls well even with seven people on board, and proves very refined. The suspension setting is nicely balanced to give composed cornering and a comfortable ride. Top speed is 198 kph (123 mph) and the 0100 kph time is 10.3 seconds. Emissions are 137 g/km and the fuel economy very good at 19.2
kpl (54.4 mpg). The SEAT Alhambra has elegant if slightly understated styling and while it can be argued there are more eye-catching models in the MPV sector, rivals will find it hard to match the overall mix of space, comfort and versatility that the Alhambra offers.
Save a Porsche
NEEDING WORK: The classic car requires a complete makeover. A RUST-BUCKET Porsche, hidden away for decades has emerged for sale for an eye opening €108,000-€130,000. The 1958, 1600 Super Speedster has been kept in storage since 1983, leaving it covered in rust and in a state of total disrepair. However, RM Sothebys is in charge of the auction and is pitching it as a ‘prime example for restoration.’ Originally built for the American market, the car is one of a select group to be made with a speedometer reading in miles rather than kilometres, and US-specification bumpers. Given the car’s current condition, its original colour is not listed, but a door stamp claims it once boasted a metallic silver finish.
Though its early history is not known, the current owner purchased the motor in 1983 as a restoration project. But after sanding off the majority of the paint, they placed the car in storage in Dallas, Texas, where it would remain for more than three decades. The car has been off the road for so long it still boasts its 1983 Texas licence tag. The Speedster is mostly complete, but requires some serious work to get it back on the road. According to the seller, “its next owner can expect to replace any sheet metal in the usual areas, including floor plans, trunk floor and battery box.”

Premier League Preview
MANCHESTER UNITED manager Jose Mourinho was involved in a furious touchline melee after Ross Barkley’s 96th minute equaliser for Chelsea saw a thrilling game end 2-2. Mourinho’s side looked on course for an outstanding win over his former club after two goals from Anthony Martial overturned the first-half lead given to the hosts by Antonio Rudiger’s 21stminute header. But when Chelsea technical assistant Marco Ianni celebrated Barkley’s late goal in front of him, the Portuguese jumped up and was held back by a mixture of stewards and staff as he tried to get to Ianni. The incident put a dampener on an impressive performance from Mourinho’s men, although Ianni was largely to blame and apologised afterwards. Man United will next host Everton on Saturday, while Chelsea will travel to Burnley on Sunday. Manchester City remained at the

Barkley gives Mourinho the blues top of the Premier League with a thumping 5-0 home win over Burnley. The Clarets’ Joe Hart, a former Man City favourite, made smart first-half saves to deny Sergio Aguero and David Silva, but was powerless to stop Aguero rounding off a slick passing move inside the box. Burnley looked out of their depth and their hopes vanished when City added two more goals in two minutes shortly before the hour mark, through Bernardo Silva and Fernandinho. Salt was firmly rubbed in the wounds when Riyad Mahrez curled home a superb fourth goal, and Leroy Sane converted a Benjamin Mendy cross. City will next face Tottenham on Monday, while Burnley will host Chelsea on Sunday.
ROSS THE BOSS: Barkley’s good form continued with a last-gasp winner.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he is “winning average games” for the first time in his life after Mohamed Salah sealed a hard fought 1-0 victory at Huddersfield. Salah’s 50th goal in English football came with a clinical low finish into the far corner after he ran onto Xherdan Shaqiri’s incisive 24th minute through ball. Huddersfield missed a number of presentable chances in a game that they were very much in until the final whistle. Liverpool rise to second in the table and remain level on points with league leaders Man City, while Huddersfield continue the search for their first win of the season. The Reds will next face Cardiff on Saturday while Huddersfield will take on Watford. Other fixtures this weekend will see Fulham host Bournemouth, Brighton entertain Wolves and Leicester take on West Ham.
La Liga Preview
Alaves’ season kicks on ALAVES briefly surged to the top of La Liga following Tomas Pina’s second-half winner in a 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo. Midfielder Pina smashed home from close range in the 58th minute at Balaidos after the ball was laid back to him by Victor Laguardia. The Basque side, having rocketed from sixth in the league, moved a point clear of secondplaced Sevilla, although they have played a game more. Alaves have never won a major trophy and were in the third tier as recently as 2013. They will host Villareal on Sunday, while Celta Vigo will face Eibar on Saturday. However, their reign at the summit of Spanish football was short-lived as Barcelona claimed an impressive 4-2 home win over Sevilla. It was not all rosy for the Catalan side though, as Lionel Messi was ruled out for three weeks with a fractured arm. The Argentine star left the field in agony in the 26th minute, after colliding with Franco Vazquez, and will miss important ties against Inter Milan and Real Madrid. Despite the setback, Barca’s other marquee players Coutinho, Suarez and Rakitic ensured that Barca returned to the top of the league, by one point. Real Madrid suffered their fourth loss in five games in a 2-1 defeat against Levante at the Bernabeu, piling more pressure on coach
SURPRISE PACKAGE: Tomas Pina’s goal gave Alaves their fifth win of the season. Julen Lopetegui. Los Blancos were stung twice inside 13 minutes when first Jose Luis Morales and then Roger Marti, from the spot, scored for Levante. Marcelo pulled one back with a thumping strike in the 72nd minute ending the team’s goal drought of 482 minutes. Real tried their utmost to find a second, bringing on Bale and Benzema, but Levante’s impressive defence held out. Lopetegui’s side’s next assignment is El Classico at Barcelona on Sunday, while Levante will entertain Leganes on Saturday.

SHADING IT: Raikkonen broke with convention to wear sunglasses on the podium.
Raikkonen spoils Hamilton party LEWIS HAMILTON missed out on the chance to claim a fifth world title when he finished third in a dramatic US Grand Prix. Mercedes let victory slip away by delaying a second pit stop as Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen earned his first win in more than five years. Hamilton’s title rival and Raikkonen’s teammate Sebastian Vettel looked to have handed the Briton the title early on when he spun battling with Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen
also beat Hamilton, who will have to wait until the race in Mexico next weekend to have another chance of clinching the title. He leaves, Austin, Texas, with a 70-point lead over Vettel, who eventually finished fourth, with 75 available over the remaining three races. In a tense finish, Raikkonen, Verstappen and Hamilton were nose to tail and the Mercedes driver failed in his one opportunity to pass the Dutchman with three laps to go. In the end even doing that
would not have been enough to clinch the title for Hamilton, as Vettel passed the second Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas for fourth place on the penultimate lap. Mercedes’ strategy confusion let Vettel off the hook, after the German made another mistake in a season that has become defined by them. Hamilton said: “I thought we would be able to do better, but this was the best we could do. “We just have to keep working, keep pushing to the next race.”
SPANIARD Marc Marquez won a fifth MotoGP title - his third in a row - then suffered a bizarre shoulder injury when celebrating in Japan. Marquez, 25, dislocated his shoulder after enthusiastic hugs from his Honda team and British rider Scott Redding. The victory gave Marquez his eighth win of the season at his team’s home track. “The shoulder just popped out,” he said. “Luckily with the adrenalin it doesn’t hurt but I’ll need to be careful not to overdo it on the dancefloor tonight.” Ducati’s Andrea Dovizioso was his main title rival but the Italian slid off while in second on the penultimate lap. Fellow Honda rider Cal Crutchlow finished runner-up after Dovizioso’s fall with Alex Rins (Suzuki) edging out Rossi (Yamaha) for third.

WHEEL CLASS: Marquez is on course to be the most successful MotoGP rider of all time. Rossi (7) and Giacomo Agostini (8) ahead of him. The Spaniard started the race in Japan in sixth place and had never won a MotoGP race after failing to qualify in the top five places on the grid. But he quickly passed Briton Cal Crutchlow and then moved in front of pole sitter Dovizioso to take the lead, and although a mistake briefly allowed the Italian back in, Marquez eventually hauled him in to take the title.
