Death jump by Joe Gerrard A BRITISH teenager has died after he and his girlfriend allegedly struck a suicide pact which saw him plunge almost 20 metres to his death in Marbella. The 16-year-old, named as Richard Fitzsimons, and the 14-year-old climbed onto the roof of the El Corte Ingles department store in Puerto Banus at around 12pm last Friday. They had apparently threatened to end their lives on social media. Fitzsimons threw himself off the building but a security guard managed to wrestle the 14-year-old to the floor. Emergency services declared the 16-year-old dead after their arrival, according to reports. A spokesperson for El Corte Ingles said the store received a call alerting them to the pair. The caller is believed to be a friend’s mother. “Security guards were alerted and sadly they were too late to save the boy but were able to reach the girl in time. “It would appear she hesitated after experiencing a split-second of doubt,” the

The post was followed by another which said she and

Crew sacking THE Ryanair airline has sacked six of its workers who posted a photograph on social media of themselves lying on the floor of Malaga Airport in protest against working conditions. The airline claimed the workers, employed as cabin crew members and based in Portugal, had breached their contract and committed serious misconduct when they shared the picture last month. They were dismissed last Monday and the company claimed its reputation had been damaged by the picture which they said was ‘staged.’ A trade union representing Ryanair staff said the photograph, which went viral and made headlines after it was taken on October 14, represented justified anger against the company. Trade unions have long criticised the airline
claiming it has refused to improve conditions for staff. The six crew members landed in Malaga Airport after they were diverted due to Hurricane Leslie on October 14. A total of 28 Ryanair workers had to spend the night in the airport’s crew room, with the airline claiming all hotels in the Malaga area were full. Six of the crew members took the picture while in the room. Ryanair said CCTV footage showed the workers had posed on the floor for the picture before then getting up. They were dismissed last Monday for gross misconduct and for tarnishing the company’s reputation, it said. The SNPVAC Portuguese airline workers’ union has said its legal team is now dealing with the case.

CLASSIC FILM: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie was one of five Buñuel films in the table. THIS film is one of five by the Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel that made it into a new ranking of the 100 greatest foreign language films. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie placed 84th on the BBC’s table, which was put together by several international film critics. Buñuel’s films The Young and the Damned, Belle de Jour, The Exterminating Angel and Viridiana ranked 80th, 75th, 67th and 48th respectively.
The BBC said Buñuel was matched only by Ingmar Bergman in the number of films by a single director that ranked on the table.

The group had notified authorities days before that they intended to hold the gathering, according to officials who said they did not need prior permission to do so. Videos show those in attendance wearing festive clothes, dancing, singing songs. Police said the gathering was peaceful.

CAUGHT: The boy was trying to board a plane in Malaga Airport. NATIONAL POLICE officers have stopped a 14-yearold boy from boarding a domestic flight in Malaga Airport after he allegedly escaped from a nearby juvenile centre. Officers said the boy was caught while attempting to get through security in the airport early last Monday morning. His destination has
not been revealed by police. He had presented various documents including a driver ’s licence and several cards which belonged to someone else, police said. The 14-year-old was also carrying €590 in cash. He was previously being held in a juvenile centre in Malaga City for an unspecified offence.
An investigation has been opened to find out how the boy fled the centre and how he got hold of the documents. The papers have since been returned to their owner. The 14-year-old has since been remanded in the juvenile centre from which he fled, police said. The investigation into his escape attempt continues.

OUR VIEW Less politics, more progress NEWS that another row has erupted over efforts to grant irregular homes legal status is the latest instance of the issue being used as a political football. Accusations from the left leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) that the Almeria-based Abusos Ubanisticos Almanzora NO (AUAN) is in cahoots with conservative Partido Popular (PP) are clearly unfounded. AUAN has long campaigned on behalf of expatriate homeowners who bought properties in good faith and later discovered they were illegal. AUAN’s agenda is non-partisan. Its goal is to speak out for expatriates whose lives in Spain have been left hanging in the balance after being told to leave homes they thought were built legally. Some cases have seen homeowners who were expecting to enjoy a well-earned retirement in southern Spain turfed out of properties. The Priors’ home was demolished in 2008 and they only received compensation last February after years of tireless campaigning. It is often tempting for politicians to take an issue and use it to score points with voters. The PSOE may have genuine and legitimate concerns about planning policy, but smearing their opponents by lumping them together with non-partisan campaigners will not solve the issue. The time has come for politicians to put people first and work together for the interests of threatened homeowners.

Growing old
AGING: The population of Malaga Province is getting older. THE average age of people in Malaga Province has risen according to new government figures, with experts citing low birth rates and fewer job opportunities as the cause. National Institute of Statistics (INE) figures showed that 81 per cent of towns and cities in the province have seen the number of people over 50 living there grow. Data also showed there
were almost 14,380 children born in the province last year, or eight per 1,000 people in Malaga. That is the lowest birth rate in the province’s history and it comes as the number of children born in Spain last year, 391,930, reached its lowest level since 1996. Luis Ayuso, a sociologist at the University of Malaga, said women born in the
1990’s were now reaching childbearing age but they were waiting longer before getting pregnant. The national average age for having children now stands at a high of 32 years old. Rafael Grande, also a sociologist, said dwindling job opportunities in the province were putting people off having as many children.

Brit tourism hopes SPAIN’S Tourism Minister has said she expects British tourists to remain the single largest group of holidaymakers visiting the country from overseas, at an industry event in London. Reyes Maroto said Spain would continue to have strong relations with Britain after the latter leaves the European Union (EU) next year. It comes as figures showed the number of British tourists who holidayed in Spain declined year-on-year by 3.1 per cent in September, while spending rose by 3.2 per cent. A total of 2.1 million British tourists came to Spain last September, according to tourist board figures. Maroto said the Spanish tourism industry was preparing for Brexit, but
added she did not expect Britain’s exit from the EU to harm Spain’s appeal for British travellers. She spoke while visiting the World Travel Market in London, where officials from tourist boards for Spanish destinations, including the Costa del Sol, set out their stalls to British customers. The number of Germans holidaying fell by a similar amount, with a total of 1.4 million arriving in Spain during the same month. British travellers remained the single largest group who holidayed in Spain, accounting for 23.6 per cent of all visitors. Spending from British holidaymakers rose by 3.2 per cent, with more than one fifth of all spending from tourists coming from British wallets.

Illegal homes in Spain dispute CREDIT: AUAN Association Facebook page
by Cathy Elelman THERE are an estimated 300,000 illegal properties in Andalucia alone, many of which were reportedly purchased in good faith by non-Spanish buyers during the property boom, only to discover they lacked ‘full construction authorisation.’ As a result, ongoing disputes between councils, home owners and resident associations remain unresolved. AUAN is a non-profit organisation, based in Albox, which is campaigning to bring about the legislation of homes in Spain currently considered to be ‘illegal.’ And it is currently at odds with a local council in Andalucia. In a letter directed at the local resident foreign community, the area’s Socialist Party Cantoria Mayor accused the group of demonstrating misguided support for the conservative People’s Party.

DIFFERENT CHARGES: The defendants are being tried over last year’s Catalan independence vote. lawyers have accused the defendants of sedition because they argue that they did not attempt to get independence for Cataluña through violent means. Politicians including Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez have previously said the charge of rebellion is inappropriate and would not be appropriate in the Catalan independence case. Government lawyers also asked for smaller sentences for the other charges which include embezzlement in con-
nection with the money used to hold the referendum. The Ministry of Justice said it was done because it would have been impossible to hold the referendum, and thereby commit sedition, without embezzling public money Prosecutors claimed a total of €1.9 million was used to hold the referendum and argue the embezzlement charges are aggravated by the sedition charges, meaning jail terms should be longer.

FIVE POOLS: Paradise Park Fun Lifestyle Hotel in Los Cristianos, Tenerife.
Swim plea from tragic tot’s granddad THE grandfather of his ‘little angel’ Presley Stockton, four, who died in a hotel swimming pool while on holiday in Tenerife in September is calling for swimming lessons to be free and a priority for pre-schoolers. Presley was on holiday with his parents, his stepsister and other relatives when he was pulled from the pool at a four-star hotel in Los Cristianos in Spain’s Canary Islands. Mike Jolley’s call for free lessons comes as the UK government has announced extra funding to make sure all children can swim confidently by the time they finish primary school. The £320 million (€366.5 million) PE and Sport Premium will fund extra lessons for children who have not yet met the national curriculum expectation after core swimming lessons, and extra training for teachers on water safety and swimming techniques through courses provided by Swim England. But Mike Jolley said: “It’s too late leaving it until later in primary school. Lessons used to be mandatory from a young age. “It’ll help them with their physical education and

stupid statues.” Mike, 49, speaking about Presley’s tragic death said: “He’d been to the swimming baths but couldn’t swim properly without his armbands. We still don’t know whether he slipped into the water or jumped in thinking he had his armbands on. “Just a few minutes before he’d been speaking to my wife on FaceTime and showing her around the place. His dad had literally just sat back as Presley was busy chatting and the next thing he knew he’d disappeared and all hell broke loose.”

Tornado holiday nightmare A BRITISH family has spoken about their challenging experience while holidaying on tornado-hit Menorca. British father Tom Hopkins was on the Balearic island with his partner and three-year-old son when a waterspout vortex struck the resort. The adverse weather conditions cut off power to the holiday resort Mr Hopkins and his family were staying at, plunging their hotel into darkness. Mr Hopkins claims his family were forced to use ‘stone cold’ water while caring for his infant son with his partner. Storms on the Balearic island left almost 40,000 locals without electricity for two days while replacement generators were delivered. The waterspout vortex travelled inland last weekend damaging 50 trees and rendering hundreds of power lines useless. As their Menorca hotel acted to evacuate holidaymakers, Mr Hopkins said his family were bundled into an emergency plane at half an hour’s notice on Monday night, only to be flown to Manchester airport, a destination sixhours away from their London residence. Mr Hopkins claims he was forced to travel a further 13 hours with his family on a coach to return home. Travel company TUI made emergency arrangements to evacuate the resort and sent notices to all affected

The TUI notice outlined that attempts were made to find ‘alternative accommodation’ on the island. However, the travel company conceded this was not possible for all guests and so the decision was made for an ‘additional aircraft’ to be sourced. TUI claim that ‘all other avenues’ were exhausted before the decision to fly holidaymakers back to the UK was taken.
TUI promised to give all evacuated guests a ‘pro-rata refund of two nights’ as well as gifting the affected holidaymakers a £100 holiday voucher as a ‘gesture of goodwill.’ However, due to space problems on the ‘additional aircraft,’ Mr Hopkins and his family claim they were forced to leave their large suitcases behind in Menorca. The family claim that it will be two weeks before their belongings are delivered to them in the UK.

HOTELS in Spain are among 450 in 61 countries taking part in a novel initiative which offers travellers the chance to exchange accommodation for a service or goods. Barter Week (November 19 to 25) was launched in Italy nine years ago through the Bed-andBreakfast-It accommodation portal, whereby guests were invited to stay in one of its establishments in exchange for painting a wall, teaching a language or sharing a recipe from their country of origin. The idea took off to the extent that this year, it has been ex-
panded globally for the first time. The seven Spanish establishments participating are based in Denia, San Sebastian, Barcelona and Madrid, with management looking for help improving their website, giving yoga classes and looking for help in the garden. The principle of the initiative is that the website organisers have a list of bed and breakfasts/hostels willing to open their doors to future guests with a ‘wish list’ of what they would like in return. On finding potential lodgers, the portal organisers then negotiate with hostel owners to reach an agreement.

The report branded some of the policies during the last 30 years as ‘racist’ and ‘murderous.’ ‘We have to keep asking how much longer we are going to have to continue witnessing this barbarism,’ the document said. The report called for changes in policies to prioritise a respect for human rights above economic and ideological interests. It comes as the Spanish government announced new measures to crack down on people and drug smuggling last week with a new ban on inflatable speed boats used by traffickers.

Migrant age case A MADRID court has ordered a centre for underage migrants to readmit a girl who was told to leave after staff claimed she had reached adulthood. Authorities are due to clarify the age of the girl, who arrived to Spain from Morocco last July. She has reportedly been in Madrid since August. Prosecutors are set to argue that the girl is legally an adult, meaning the Communidad de Madrid regional authority would not be able to offer her legal guardianship or protection. The girl had attempted to obtain protected status which would have left her in the care of the authority. The girl, who claims to have turned 16 last June, told Spanish media she had arrived at La Linea de la Concepcion after fleeing poverty in La Patera. “An educator gave me a subway pass with three trips and the address of a hostel,” she said. The hostel was a centre for the homeless, she added. The 16-year-old said she had documents including a birth certificate which proved she was under age. She has also undergone medical tests as

Elderly women molested SPANI SH POLI CE f or ce, Mossosd’Esquadra, have arrested a teenager, 16, for allegedly assaulting and molesting six women, each around 80 years old. The alleged sexual assaults took place in Olot, Girona, according to police sources. Mossos report that a spate of incidents occurred between August 7 and October 10 in dark corners and alleys in the city. Over the course of three months Mossos received complaints from six separate elderly women who each described the alleged attacker as a young man. Each of the women described similar distinctive physical characteristics when asked about the alleged attacker.

BREXIT BRIEF
Phone and travel concerns BRITISH expatriates and travellers could be hit with higher phones bills after the country leaves the European Union (EU) while the travel industry said Brexit was causing uncertainty for customers. Members of Parliament said there was no guarantee the British government would continue to enforce a current EU-wide ban on roaming charges after Brexit. It comes as Brittany Ferries said uncertainty over the consequences of Britain’s departure from the EU had led to travellers stalling bookings. The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) said its research showed 48 per cent of people thought travelling to the continent would become harder after Brexit. Separately, members of the House of Commons EU Scrutiny Committee said users of British phones should think carefully before using their devices on the continent. “It is probable that roaming charges, abolished within the EU, will return and that even where they do not, increased wholesale roaming costs incurred by British providers may be passed onto their consumers indirectly,” the committee said.

BREXIT EXTRA Tourism meeting THE head of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) Mark Tanzer met with Francisco Javier Fernandez, tourism spokesperson for the southern Spanish region of Andalucia, last Tuesday to discuss keeping holidaymaker flows open after Brexit.
By Joe Gerrard BRITAIN’S Prime Minister has told members of her government she is confident of reaching a Brexit deal, but warned she would not accept one at any cost. Theresa May told a meeting of cabinet ministers last Tuesday questions over customs checks at the Northern Irish border continued to stall progress. Michel Barnier, the European Union’s (EU) chief Brexit negotiator, said both sides were not yet in a position to call a special summit to seal the withdrawal deal. Both sides have said around 95 per cent of the deal is closed off. Negotiators are continuing to find a way to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic after the March 2019 leave date. British and EU officials appeared to be moving increasingly towards what is known as the ‘Norway for Now’ option to secure an arrangement for the first years after Britain’s departure.

John McDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor, said the Labour opposition would not back a deal that kept Britain in such an

by Tara Rippin SKIN cancer deaths among men have risen significantly in ‘wealthy nations’ since 1985, while the mortality rates for women have either increased slowly or gone down. The reason for the difference is not clear, but it has been suggested that men are less inclined to protect themselves from the effects of the sun, according to experts at the Royal Free London hospital. According to the US Centres for Disease Control (CDC), more than 90 per cent of melanoma cancers are caused by skin cell damage from exposure to the sun or other UV radiation sources, such as tanning beds. Recent press reports claim that in eight of the 18 countries examined by researchers in America, men’s skin cancer death rates have increased by at least 50 per cent in the past 30 years. In Ireland and Croatia, figures have practically doubled, while Spain and Britain have seen a rise of 70 per cent, followed by The Netherlands (60 per cent) and France and Belgium (50 per cent). But the countries with the biggest hike in skin cancer deaths did not always have the most elevated mortality rates. Nearly six out of every 100,000 men lost their lives to the disease between 2013 to 2015, which is twice the second highest rate (of Finland), but represents a 10 per cent in 30 years. Australia’s public health campaigns in light of its depleting ‘ozone layer’ have been attributed for raising better awareness in the last three decades. Japan has the lowest melanoma mortality, for both men and women, at 0.24 and 0.18 per 100,000, respectively.

Catalan phobia claim EDUCATION officials have launched an investigation into a Valencia region history teacher after allegations surfaced that she told Catalan students they did not come from a real country. The pro-Catalan CNICataluyna Twitter page posted audio recordings of what it alleged was the teacher, from a Vinaros school in Castellon Province, telling the students Cataluña was ‘never’ a country. The teacher, who was not named, also said pro-Spanish Catalans were becoming isolated at work and that the ongoing independence issue had divided families there. CNICataluyna claimed the audio was evidence of Catalan-phobia. Officials from Spain’s Education Ministry were due to visit the school last Monday to investigate the claims. “You live in a country called Spain, not Cataluña. Cataluña is not a country, never has been nor will it be,” the teacher allegedly said. “The separatists have promoted violence punishable by the Penal Code. Families are divided and some of them no longer meet for Christmas,” she added. One of the students can be heard saying the teacher’s comments are ‘b******t’. The teacher responded by claiming she knew people who were looking to leave Cataluña after last year’s independence push. “It is a very big problem. Non-nationalists are being bullied and are becoming isolated in work,” the teacher said. The investigation continues.

Culture study Spanish ‘least culturally superior in Europe’ ONE in five Spanish people feel their culture is superior to others, the lowest amount

religion, also found that Spain was among the most accepting of minority faiths in Europe. It ranked lower, but still relatively high on a scale of how important Europeans believed Christianity was for their national identity, according to the same study. The Pew Research Centre said their study showed an eastern/western European divide across most of the issues surveyed. “The Iron Curtain that once divided Europe may be long gone, but the continent today is split by stark differences in public attitudes,” the Centre said. The Pew Research Centre surveyed almost 56,000 adults across 34 European countries on a range of issues between 2015 and 2017. The study found that the Spanish were the least culturally chauvinistic people in Europe. A total of 20 per cent of Spanish respondents said their culture was not perfect but was superior to others. Spain came ahead of all other surveyed countries including Russia, at 69 per cent, Norway, 58 per cent,

Spain came sixth behind the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Belgium on a poll of whether their citizens would accept Muslims or Jews into their family. Some 74 per cent of Spanish people said they would. The country came behind Britain, France and Sweden on a scale of how many people felt being Christian made them more truly a part
of their nation. Around 38 per cent of Spanish people said the religion was very or somewhat important to their national identity. Spain came fifth out of the countries surveyed on support for same-sex marriage with 77 per cent in favour. Around 72 per cent of Spanish people believed abortion should be legal. Faith was also found to be on the wane in Spain. A total of 22 per cent of Spanish people said religion was ‘very important’ in their lives, and 23 per cent said they went to services at least once a month.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS By Joe Gerrard BUDGET plans for next year looked increasingly fragile this week after the ruling left leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) were facing calls to salvage parliamentary support that appears to be jeopardised. The government has attempted to create a loose coalition composed of the PSOE, its leftist allies Podemos and smaller, regionalist parties to get the budget through Parliament. The PSOE has 84 seats in the lower house of Parliament, the Congress of Deputies, and relies on support from other parties to pass legislation. That pact seemed to be endangered this week after one party, the pro-independence Catalan European Democrat Party (PDeCAT) announced it would not back the spending plans. PDeCAT senator Josep Lluis Cleries said it was im-

His comments came after prosecutors and Spanish government lawyers submitted jail term requests to courts for 18 defendants due to be tried over last year’s independence push. Maria Jesus Montero, the government’s Finance Minister, said on Tuesday she was working ‘intensely’ to secure
backing for the budget. “We are in negotiations with some parties and we will continue with them,” Montero said. She appealed to politicians from all parties to contribute to the talks but added the government would not be ‘blackmailed.’ Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias, who agreed budget plans
with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez last month, said early elections could take place if smaller parties refused to back the proposals. “It would not be very sensible to try and maintain the current legislature if there is no budget agreement. “The government should try a little harder to get the backing of these parties. If they don’t it is more than possible there will be early elections next year,” Iglesias said. The PSOE need to pass the budget if they are to have any chance of remaining in power for the rest of the current parliamentary term which ends in 2020. Sanchez has repeatedly ruled out bringing the vote forward. If more parties refuse to back the budget and if the conservative Partido Popular (PP) tries to block it, Sanchez may be forced to hold a vote.
Far right rising A PREVIOUSLY little-known far right political party has begun to hit the headlines after around 9,000 people attended one of its rallies in Madrid. Vox, led by Santiago Abascal and founded in 2013, has attempted to out-right the Partido Popular (PP), traditionally the leading force on the Spanish right. Abascal said the party defends constitutional order, the unity of Spain, the centralisation of the state and advocates tougher migration laws. It has also come out strongly against separatist movements in Cataluña and elsewhere. Opponents of Vox claim that it courts sympathisers of former dictator Francisco Franco (Falangists), fascists and neo-Nazis. Current polling gives Vox the support of 1.5 per cent of voters which would translate to one seat in the Congress of Deputies, five times its support last January. Spanish far-right movements have up until now failed to attract much support outside a base of hardcore support, in contrast to their equivalents in Italy, Austria and Sweden. A turnout of 9,000 at the Madrid rally may show the far-right is beginning to make inroads into the Spanish political mainstream.

Gibraltar row PP claims officials missed Brexit ‘golden opportunity’ by Joe Gerrard
FAKE FAGS: Factories in Spain were churning out counterfeit cigarettes at a rate of 34,000 packets an hour.
Fake cigarette factories raided SPANISH police have raided four factories, operating around the clock, that were churning out counterfeit cigarettes at a rate of 34,000 packets an hour. In the biggest police operation of its kind in Spain four factories were raided, including ‘active’ premises in Seseña (Toledo) and Mairena de Alcor in the province of Sevilla. The Guardia Civil’s ‘Operation Lerna’ also led to 47 arrests and the seizure of 69 tonnes of tobacco and more than two million cigarette cartons, which had a street value of over €22 million. More than €600,000 in cash was also found. The arrested individuals included nine Ukrainians, a Bulgarian, six Romanians,
28 Moldovans, as well as a Frenchman and two Spanish citizens. The four factories had been operating for two months and were controlled by an organisation led by a Bulgarian national who, it is claimed, also has links to drug trafficking. The criminal organisation brought in tobacco leaves from countries such as Bulgaria and Moldova with the finished product packed in fake cartons to resemble major tobacco brands. The fake cigarettes were then distributed throughout southern and eastern Spain and also, possibly, to Britain. Police said the majority of the workers lived in poor conditions and were not allowed to leave the premises.
MEMBERS of Spain’s conservative opposition party have accused the government of throwing away a chance to assert long-standing claims over Gibraltar following talks with Britain. Former Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo, of the Partido Popular (PP), said in Parliament, current office holder Josep Borrell should have pushed for shared sovereignty over the British enclave. It comes as Spanish officials said they had wrapped up talks with Britain over Gibraltar ’s status after the latter country leaves the European Union (EU) next year. Margallo said Spain had the chance to bring the British territory under a joint-rule arrangement during the talks. “You’ve wasted a golden opportunity,” he said to Borrell. Pablo Casado, leader of the PP, said Gibraltar was a ‘red line’ issue for his party. “We’re facing a historic opportunity to decolonise the last colonial enclave left in Europe after three centuries,” he told Parliament last week. Borrell said the current left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) government’s position was the same as that of its PP predecessor. He added his forerunner Alfonso D a s t i s h a d d r o p p e d S p a i n ’s s o v e r eignty claim over Gibraltar after

It comes as Borrell outlined the details of the agreement between Britain and Spain on Gibraltar after Brexit, due in March 2019. The rights of ‘frontier’ and ‘season-
al’ workers, or people who live in either Spain or Gibraltar and cross the border to get to their jobs, will be protected, Borrell said. The Minister added Britain had also agreed to work with Spain on tax issues including duties on tobacco and other goods. Many issues, including the running of the enclave’s airport, remain unresolved. London and Madrid are due to open further talks on a range of issues in the future.

Amnesty International, which has been campaigning to repeal the Citizen Safety Law, said the state may have made almost €25 million since the measures were introduced in 2015. The NGO said their calculations, based on Interior Ministry data, may have underestimated the number of fines due to government figures excluding those from Basque and Catalan police forces.

officers and other measures but backtracked earlier this year. The Citizen Safety Law was passed by the conservative Partido Popular (PP) when it was in government. It restricted demonstrations near the Congress of Deputies and Senate and taking ‘unauthorised’ pictures of police officers. It also required protest organisers to notify authorities before holding demonstrations. Fines for breaking the law range from €100 to €600,000 for the most serious offences. The PP argued it would make demonstrations freer and safer because it would help to curb violence during protests. The PSOE, the opposition when the law was passed, said the law represented an attempt from the PP was attempting to create a ‘police state.’

Biker dies on mountain road EMERGENCY services have confirmed that a motorcyclist has died after falling from their machine in an accident on the infamous road from the Costa del Sol to Ronda. The incident happened in the municipality of Parauta on the winding, mountain road - the A397 - that runs from San Pedro on the coast to the Serrania de Ronda.

Spain’s sustainable cities By Tara Rippin A REPORT on sustainable cities in Spain has placed Vitoria and Madrid at the top of the poll. The Observatory of Sustainability (OS) and AIS Group analysed the tenability of the 52 provincial capitals using a total of 59 indicators relating to four specific topics: general, economic, social, and environmental and transparency and co-operation. Factors also taken into consideration were the size of each city, and its coastal or interior character. The objective is to find out which are the main strengths in some cities so they can be used as a guide or incentive for others. This is because some cities are seen as ‘key’ in moving towards sustainability as a whole, in terms of reducing gas emissions, improving bio-diversity, reducing inequality, advancing towards full employment and cutting waste.
VITORIA: Spain’s most sustainable city. The ‘best city in sustainability’ results were as follows: General: Vitoria, Madrid, Barcelona, Donosti, Bilbao. Economic: Madrid, Bilbao, Barcelona, Vitoria, Valencia. Social: Vitoria, Soria, Avila, Huesca, Logroño. Environmental: Huesca, Vitoria, Almeria, Valencia, Caceres. Transparency and cooperation: Donosti, Bilbao, Burgos,
and Logroño. Sustainability among large cities (more than 500,000 inhabitants): Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza, Valencia. Sustainability among medium-sized cities (between 100,000 and 500,000): Vitoria, Donosti, Bilbao, Burgos, Oviedo. Sustainability among small cities (or Best cities in sustainability among the cities of the
Inland Spain: Burgos, Huesca, Logroño, Leon, Albacete. On the coast: Barcelona, Donosti, Bilbao, Valencia, Palma. According to the OS, the greatest challenges relate to two large groups of issues. On one hand, the environmental issues which remain unresolved are poor air quality due to both traffic and industries, lack of reduction and adequate waste management, noise
and lack of green spaces. On the other, there is a ‘high inequality in income and consumption’ which needs to be addressed, child poverty, poor food, and unemployment. Some cities reportedly have problems ‘reconciling professional and personal life’ due to the time spent to and from work due to traffic, lack of adequate alternatives and high public transport prices.

Matches in memory MEMBERS of a Costa del Sol walking football club have organised a tournament this month in memory of a teammate who died during a game last year. Walking Football Spain’s Mini International Tournament will take place in Elviria on Saturday November 17. Teams are set to compete for the Gordon Powell Memorial Trophy, with all money made on the day going to the British Heart Foundation. Brian Gregory, club president, said they wanted to give the money to the Foundation because Gordon had died of a heart attack. The club had travelled to the Algarve in Portugal to compete in a tournament in November 2017. “Gordon had played very well that day. He was standing by the pitch during the third or fourth game when he suddenly collapsed. “We thought he had tripped over but later found out he had suffered a massive heart attack,” Brian said. “Gordon was one of the youngest members of the team. He was so full of life and we wanted to organise an event in his memory,” he added. The club said in a statement that this month’s tournament would be split into seven-aside teams representing Scotland, the north and south of England and the rest of the world. Bodyworks Health Clinic will also be on hand to provide first aid in case of injuries, the club added. The tournament kicks off at 12pm at the Santa Maria Stadium in the Las Chapas area of Elviria. Spectators are welcome and there will be a raffle and a bar for refreshments.

TOWERING TRIBUTE: Around 10,000 torches have been lit outside the Tower of London.
Remembering those who gave their today for your tomorrow By Tom Woods THIS year marks a poignant century since the First World War ended and fittingly, both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday fall on November 11. Armistice Day honours the signing of the agreement between the Allies and Germany at 11am on November 11, 1918 to cease hostilities: the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Although fighting continued in some areas, the truce effectively brought an end to four years of brutal warfare. As a result, it is an important tradition to pause our busy daily lives at 11am on November 11 to remember those killed in the two World Wars as well
as those in the armed forces who have been killed or injured since 1945. Germany, exhausted by war and with a nation of hungry citizens, reluctantly accepted the terms. On November 10 the Queen will attend a Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, hosted by the Royal British Legion. The next day she will attend a special service at Westminster Abbey in the company of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and of course take her place at the Cenotaph commemoration at 11am with various other royals, politicians and members of the armed forces. Last year, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh watched proceedings from a balcony for the first time,
DURING the First World War, poppies grew on the battlefields, particularly in Flanders, Belgium. This inspired the well-known poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McRae, which he wrote in May 3, 1915 and was first published in December of the same
and Prince Charles instead took on the mantle and laid the wreath. Appropriately, it was announced earlier this year that families of First World War veterans will be allowed to march past the Cenotaph to honour the sacrifice of their loved ones. Normally 10,000 people are permitted to take part in the annual march, but in light of this particularly significant year, an extra 10,000 places will be made available to those with an emotional connection to the Great War. After the Second World War, many countries changed the name of the day from Armistice Day to Remembrance Day, while the US chose to call it Veterans Day and made it a federal holiday.
Poppy history
In 1915, Canadian doctor Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write the famous poem ‘In Flanders Fields.’ Before long, poppies made their way to the UK and became the symbol of the Royal British Legion when it was formed in 1921. This year ’s Poppy Appeal is unsurprisingly the biggest ever and the Legion hopes to raise £50 million (€56 million) for service men and women, veterans and their families. As part of Laurence Binyon’s poem ‘For the Fallen’ so rightly says: “They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old.”
year. Since then, poppies have become a way to remember those who have lost their lives in war, and the money raised from selling them goes towards war veterans and their families who have been adversely affected by conflict.

British Embassy and Consulates unite in remembrance THIS Sunday, the British Embassy in Madrid and Consulates across Spain will mark the centenary of the Armistice by taking part in solemn acts of remembrance. They will also be giving thanks for the end of the war, for peace and for those who were fortunate enough to return to their families. This year, the British and German governments are promoting a special programme of bell ringing as a symbolic way of commemorating the end of war and conveying the importance of peace. In London, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of the German people in a historic act of reconciliation. It will be the first time a German leader will lay a wreath at the ceremony and the act marks the significance of the centenary, 100 years after the guns fell silent on the Western Front. Bells will be rung at many churches in Spain and the bilateral collaboration is also being marked in other ways. Britain’s Ambassador to Spain Simon Manley, and Germany’s equivalent Ambassador Wolfgang Dold will give readings at the Remembrance Day service at St George’s Church in Madrid. Ambassador Manley will also attend an event at the German Ambassador’s residence with the historian Dr RobertBenjamin Gerwarth entitled: ‘Cien años después, ¿por qué Europa no encontró la paz después de la Primera Guerra Mundial?’ (100 years after. Why has Europe not found peace after the First World War?). Ambassador Manley said: “As we remember the fallen on November 11, it is important to reflect on the importance of reconciliation and explore how, especially at a time when some seek to provoke discord and intolerance, we can build bridges where others want to build walls. “As Europeans, we are bound together by our values, our shared memories of the continent’s history and our common aspirations for peace, security and prosperity.” Credit: Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Minimum wage row THE head of Spain’s Central Bank has slammed the country’s recent 22 per cent minimum wage increase, claiming thousands of young people will lose their jobs as a result. Banco de España chairman Pablo Hernandez de Cos has openly criticised the ruling socialist p a r t y ’s d e c i s i o n t o p u t S p a i n ’s minimum wage up from €735 to €900. The seasoned economist said that the salary rise would slash 0.8 per cent of jobs in Spain and “have
by Tom Woods the opposite effect to that intended of hindering those we want to help most, young people.” Of the 19.5 million people registered as employed in Spain, that percentage amounts to 150,000 jobs. Previous minimum wage increases in Spain were of 8 per cent in 2017 and 4 per cent in 2018, but Hernandez de Cos claims that employers’ obligations to pay considerably more will make them fire
their least productive workers. According to the economist, the most effective way of protecting these vulnerable workers is by tackling the job market’s excessive temporary work demand as well as high turnovers and shift work exploitation. The Spanish government’s €900 new minimum wage will add up to €12,600 a year for those who earn it, as it is traditional in Spain for workers to receive two bonus salaries in the summer and at Christmas.
SPAIN is ready to cooperate with Pakistan in expanding their bilateral trade with an emphasis on food processing and tourism development, said Miguel Pena, the country’s Economic and Commercial Attaché. In a recent visit to the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI), he said Spain had made excellent progress in the industrial sector, while 90 million tourists visited the country last year. Mr Pena said the volume of bilateral trade stands at $1.1 billion (€0.96 billion).

New openings include Spain’s first Casa Cook hotel and the first family Casa Cook, as well as seven youthfocused Cook’s Club hotels. These youth or millennial-
centred hotels will feature escape rooms, VR gaming, rage rooms and private discos, as well as street food dining and a poolside cocktail bar. One of the ‘key assets’ is Casa Cook Ibiza, a 189-room hotel that will open next summer, the first of two new Casa Cook properties. Thomas Cook, which pioneered the package holiday concept, has also confirmed that it has removed nine hotels from its portfolio which did not meet brand quality standards.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT AS much as I truly appreciate everyone who writes in, I don’t often take up issues with the perusers of this column (and I certainly heard from a few snowflakes last week!). Mainly because it can result in less space for any fresh perspective. I do however feel a word about one correspondent, ‘Appalling views bring shame’ that appeared on last week’s Letters page worth a mention. The gentleman in question, presumably a new reader, considered me homophobic because I sided with the couple who refused to advertise gay marriage on one of their products. Something they didn’t believe in. The court agreed and found in their favour. This of course was my point. I was merely objecting to the appeasement of minorities, simply because they were minorities. Most long-term readers of my ‘spoutings’ are completely aware that I am some considerable distance from being homophobic or any other phobic for that matter. One of my own offspring actually ‘came out’ some time ago, and has subsequently made our family unit stronger and even more fun to be around. They would however, never harbour an inferiority complex-inspired urge to consider we should all be gay! Apropos ‘lunatics’
Nothing to feel shame for running the asylum.’ I refer you to the statement from the chairman of the UK’s National Police Chiefs’ Council Sara Thornton, that the police should get back to solving ‘real crimes’ instead of concentrating on frivolous time-wasting claims of misogyny, hate crimes and ‘wolf whistling.’ I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one mind, there are too many lunatics ensconced at the head of that profession already! As a final observation on this reader’s missive, namely that he informed us he had ‘expected that leaving the ‘civility’ of the UK would lead to some adjustment of his new life’ (A more pompous and racist statement to that effect is difficult to imagine!), I can only say to you sir, that your new country of choice has not yet sunk into the mire of political correctness and morass of mental misogynists who are suffocating free speech and democracy in the UK. I am also delighted to be privileged and able to state my views in the EWN, a publication that prides itself in not having fallen into those depths of undemocratic and stifling freedom of expression either.
As a final short observation on last Thursday’s piece I wrote - and I quote. ‘The Saudis will declare the murder (Khashoggi’s) a rogue operation and will parade all the suspects (assassination squad) in a lavish Riyadh show trial and hand down long sentences to each.’ Unquote. Extract of a segment in Saturdays SUN newspaper UK. (Six days after my copy was handed in!) ‘Turkey is seeking the killer’s extradition. Riyadh blames a ‘rogue operation’ and has arrested 18 suspects.’ I rest my case. Congratulations to DJ Paul Gambaccini on winning hefty damages against the Crown Prosecution Service in their botched sex abuse probe. His main objection was that they had dropped the prosecution investigation through ‘insufficient evidence’ against him in their Yew Tree enquiries. He considered these were not words of exoneration, which of course they are not, and he rightly won compensation. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

NOW I’m into the 10th year of writing this column (can I just say, thank you, if you’re still here) but I’ll still start with another moan. No, not about Brexit, which I imagine, you’re simply bored to death with and want to hear nothing more about. Maybe even suffering from Brexititis? My moan this week concerns the reality TV star Scarlett Harrison, 20, who, when recently caught drink-driving, told police she couldn’t provide a breath test because her collagen-filled lips were too big! Don’t women like Scarlett realise how silly they look to everyone else? The Barbie doll look isn’t a good one. Why do they self-mutilate with collagen to the point of impairing mouth function? But appearance is everything now, isn’t it? Reports on America’s $88bn anti-ageing industry calculate that millions face serious health problems caused by the gurus of unregulated dietary, vitamin supplements and Botox crazes. I’m not sure, but I think we’re allowed to get older but not to look as though we are. Is that right? Do the Botoxers and face-

PRICELESS?: Katie Price has undergone several Botox treatments. filler folk actually know, that we know that they’ve been pulling a fast one? Everything peeled, exfoliated, filled and polished. The full (late) Joan Rivers, bless her. The problem for people who have had excessive Botox is that they don’t look younger, just weirder. Think Katie Price.
Or, someone trapped in a lift for a week with Donald Trump. Now, I don’t doubt for a minute that it must be appealing to be regarded as ‘hot’ (although I have no personal experience of this, can you believe it?). As for looking younger, here’s a tip: the concealer under the eye trick makes you look 10 years younger. Without it, I look like I’ve done three rounds with Tyson (that’s the name of next door’s dog). Finally, on a really positive note, I’d like to thank all of you who have purchased my latest crime thriller ‘The Girl in the Woods’, now out in paperback (and as you know, all profits to Costa del Sol Cudeca cancer charity).

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Can one owner impugn AGM? Our community consists of some villas on plots and some attached row houses. All the houses have the same roofs with roof-tiles. Some owners have made new construction in their garden areas or changed their roofs. The AGM was not informed and no permission was given. The issue was discussed at a special EGM when the new president brought up the subject of ‘Legal action against the violators’. He himself is one of the offenders. The issue was not on the official agenda for the meeting. As he had collected many proxies beforehand, he was assured that he would have the majority when voting. So it was voted to stop any legal action against the violators. The administrator said that this was a legal vote. Can this be true? Yes, the vote is le- David Searl gal but questions arise. You and the Law Properly, an issue of this in Spain importance should be on the agenda so the proxy issuers and others will be informed. However, even one owner can go to court if he observes infractions of the Horizontal Law, which we have here. The court will probably order that the results of the meeting be annulled, and a new EGM called to deal with the issues.

Money can pay after all Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man SO, this week Lord Hain named Sir Philip Green, in the House of Lords, as the ‘celebrity’ who took out an injunction against the Daily Telegraph, to stop them naming him in accusations of alleged sexual harassment and racial abuse. The accusations, to be honest, are irrelevant, because recently many multi-millionaire businessmen in the UK have been accused of something. Hain himself resigned years ago due to an undeclared donation, and the fact he is involved with the law firm representing the Telegraph is surely a conflict of interest, even though he says he was unaware the firm was the same one he was paid by. Yeah, right, ok. Green, who I have no time for, got the injunction as he can afford it, proving there’s a law for the super wealthy and another for everyone else, which in itself is wrong. Hain’s rationale for using his Parliamentary privilege to name Green is that ‘it was in the public interest.’ Remember, these are just accusations at the moment. There is also a massive difference between the public interest and the public being interested. In my opinion, it’s
not in the public interest at all, but the public love reading this stuff. In it’s most basic form, a non-disclosure agreement is a legal contract between at least two parties, that outlines confidential material they share, but don’t wish to share with anyone else. In business it makes perfect sense, but the NDAs are used as a confidentiality agreement with those that receive a large sum of money for keeping their mouth shut about an allegation of wrong-doing. These days it’s mostly sexual harassment or worse. Why did the accused pay the accuser? It’s not unusual for these wealthy guys to pay to make accusations go away, and therefore never get to court. You never read about Mr Small Businessman being accused of these things. It’s not newsworthy, even if the ‘little’ man subsequently ends up in court and is found guilty. It doesn’t make the news and I’m sure a few of these settle and get an NDA. I think people should not be named until found guilty. The system is just wrong. Injunctions are useless because of the internet and Parliamentary privilege. If an MP doesn’t shout out the name, it’s printed in every paper that can be bothered to report it so it’s out in the open in days. Just put it in your preferred search engine and there it is. mikesenker@gmail.com

TECH FOR THE TIMID THE day I felt old, was the day I saw a 10-year-old pick up a CD, and be amazed that it contained a little book. Once upon a not-too-long-ago time, I was proud of my 300 CD collection. To millennials, that makes me a dinosaur. Welcome to the club. CD sales have plummeted. They are down around 45 per cent this year and dropping fast, though perversely, vinyl LP sales are up among the young. So, who’s the dinosaur then? Today, people ‘stream’ their music live from sites like Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer. For the fossils among us who still insist on actually owning our content, we either buy the digital versions of albums online, or we ‘rip’ (that’s copy in fossil-speak) existing CDs (or indeed vinyl, or, heaven forbid, cassettes) to MP3s, to play on our phones or dedicated players. This week’s column is a ripping yarn on how to transfer your existing CD music to MP3s.
CD or not CD?
RIPPING: Who forgot to switch off the CD copier? It is not rocket science, and certainly not beyond the abilities of even those of us well into injury time in the game of life. It assumes you still have a computer with a CD drive included, hopefully not just being used as a coffee-cup holder. There are a number of simple ‘ripping’ programs available, and many are free, including FreeRIP,
Exact Audio Copy or Foobar2000. The process is painless enough. Put the CD you want to record in the drive, launch the ‘ripper’ program, point it to the CD you want to copy, and if you’re not one of life’s tweakers, the default settings on most programs will work just fine. If quality really matters to you, either choose the highest settings
possible for the MP3 conversion, or opt instead for a so-called ‘lossless’ conversion format, where every nuance of the original recording is copied, unlike the compression involved in MP3s. Frankly, despite being a musician and an insufferable audiophile, I can’t hear the difference, but your mileage may vary. If you don’t like the ‘tagging’ (the track names and labels) assigned to your output files automatically, you can also change some of the information - like the actual file name - manually. You can also edit the information displayed in your music player more comprehensively if it’s not to your taste, by downloading another free program - MP3tag - which even lets you change the album art shown on your screen. All that is left to do is to ‘sideload’ (a geeky word for copying) your new music files to your phone or audio player, usually through a USB cable, and then press play. Welcome to the 21st century.
FEATURE
Recycle CDs WHAT to do with all those old CDs once you’ve ‘ripped’ their content, other than donating them to a worthy cause? I’ve used them as drinks coasters, bird-frighteners in a vegetable garden, bookmarks, driveway reflectors, candleholders and ice-scrapers. If I still lived in Asia or Africa or somesuch, it’s almost de rigueur to dangle one from the rearview mirror, though I’ve never figured out why. I’ve seen them as fridge décor, in mosaic tables, as DIY clock-faces, mirrors and even Christmas decorations. Sadly, like most of us they don’t recycle well, and millions end up in landfills every year. What I did learn, is you absolutely should not break them into pieces by hand. The nurse in our casualty department was very sympathetic.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
8 - 14 November 2018
An indigestible fact
Lacking integrity
fogey Pablo Casado. PARTIDO POPULAR Pablo Casado’s aggressiveness and verbal incontinence regarding Pedro Sanchez, his government, and socialist Spain is not doing him any favours. The latest CIS survey put the PP third, with 17.3 per cent of a hypothetical election vote, overtaken by the PSOE’s 31.6 per cent and Ciudadanos’ 21 per cent. Predictably, Casado has questioned the survey’s veracity and impartiality. There are lies, statistics and numbers can be taken out of context, twisted and turned into whatever their manipulator wishes, the PP claimed. That may be true, but it is also preferable to swallowing the indigestible fact that Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, the former vice-president and Mariano Rajoy’s right-hand woman, would make a more seasoned and reasonable party president than toxic young
The baksheesh syndrome A HIGH court investigation has discovered that the Spanish company Defex paid illegal commissions to Saudis and others, for arms sales. In 2017, Swiss banks blocked accounts that paid out at least €7.6 million in commissions and bribes, in exchange for Saudi contracts, prompting outrage from their unnamed clients. Like priests keeping mum about confessed sins, Swiss banks are expected to silence even the most terrible transgressions, unless they are faced with a derogatory letter from an outside government.
RETIRED police chief Jose Manuel Villarejo is remanded for trafficking privileged state information, amongst other things. With a detective agency as a sideline, this confidant of ministers, fixer and possible extorter, apparently told a fellow prisoner that he was saving the best for last. The latest victim of his bugged and leaked conversa

tions, is Dolores de Cospedal, former Defence Minister, former Partido Popular secretary general and former president of the Castilla-La Mancha region. Villarejo allegedly gave De Cospedal’s husband Ignacio Lopez del Hierro, the heads up about Gurtel developments, and he didn’t do that from the kindness of his heart. Whatever form his final revenge will take, he is demonstrating his power in small, deadly doses, revealing the duplicity and lack of integrity of those he has helped in the past. Who next? How many Spanish politicians are waiting for the second shoe to drop?
Blockade turnaround UNSEASONED: Is Pablo Casado a toxic young fogey? As rich as the Saudis are, a little more is always welcome, and it is entirely in character, that Defex- which is 51 per cent-owned by the Spanish state - paid the Saudis bribes and commissions
between 1992 and 2014. After all, the kickback syndrome is based on baksheesh, another legacy from the Moors, along with the Alhambra, tangerines and turron.
ASTUTE Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera, saw the light and shied away from the Partido Popular and Pablo Casado. Rivera no longer backs the PP’s bid to block 40 measures from going through parliament. These include a reform preventing the Senate from stymieing Pedro Sanchez’s 2019 Budget. The C’s leader knows that preventing changes that will benefit those who suffered most during the crisis, and the Rajoy governments would alienate the Centre votes that he needs. Unlike Casado, Rivera is aware that ambition needs leavening with pragmatism, and an eye for the main chance.

He’s got a dark, dark heart Credit: itv
TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis
ITV launched a new detective series last week, did you notice? Dark Heart played on Wednesday and Thursday, and will continue for the next couple of weeks. This has been done before, not just the moody policeman who likes to do a Bronte and stare across lakes in quiet reflection, but the actual show. An earlier version played about two years ago, but ITV have given it a spring clean and pushed it into the mid-week schedules. Tom Riley plays traditional policeman Will Wagstaffe, who doesn’t leave his feelings at the station door when he’s called in to investigate the torture and murder of alleged paedophiles. Is it just me, or is TV currently awash with this sort of thing? I know that real life is messy sometimes and yes, we need to talk
DARK HEART: A little too gloomy for autumn? about this ‘stuff’ much more, but isn’t there a place for a bit of quiet, lovely television? Will released some stress in episode two via a quick meet up with his ex-girlfriend, whilst struggling with the silence from the victims’ families. I don’t think this is going to get
any easier to watch, and I do wonder if it would have been better shown next spring. A little bit like poor Venice having too much water, I think darker evenings, grey clouds and a dark storyline might just be too much for an autumn success. I know many of us love a good
binge session of Come Dine with Me on Channel 4, and if you remember my lovely pal Val who watched the second Royal Wedding of the year with me, you might remember that she has a bit of insight. Val hasn’t been on the show, but knows someone who has - a little bit like ‘I’m asking for a friend’ on the problems page. Val - I mean her friend - has spoiled the Come Dine experience for me a bit, but a spoiler nevertheless. Apparently it’s hard work, early mornings, very late nights, masses of time between courses whilst cameras and lights are reset, no drinking between shots and worst of all, there is only one black cab which doesn’t actually go anywhere. You give your score, get out of the cab and go home in a normal taxi... we will still keep watching though, right? Dr Raj left Strictly last week and immediately gave an interview about the daily discrimination which he suffers as a Doctor
in the NHS. Discrimination like he described is never acceptable and it is a shame he didn’t go further, but his dancing was a bit off and others danced better. Kind of want to leave that one there. Bit of TV news, firstly in the shape of Bradley Walsh who is recording a new show for ITV. Titled ‘It’s Showtime’, this is apparently a bouncy show with live music, celebrity guests and audience participation. Careful Bradley, Mr Norton is a past master of this sort of thing and even Mr Ross sometimes doesn’t stack up. Watch out for It’s Showtime early next year. I’m a Celebrity is back soon with one of Ant and Dec and a Holly. The celebrities, well The Governess, will probably be in there with some reality TV types. Watch this space. Finally, news wise, Escape to the Chateau is back soon. Can’t wait. Happy Viewing HappyViewing1@outlook.com
Model actress Star studded music awards
ELSA PATAKY: Holidayed in Madrid.
Sunseeker Shelby SINCE her relationship with Pete Wicks came to an abrupt end a couple of months ago, TOWIE’S Shelby Tribble appeared to be moving on as she enjoyed some solitary time in the balmy Spanish
sunshine recently. The 25-year-old reality star looked sensational as she flaunted her tanned and toned physique in a floral string bikini and frolicked in the autumn rays.
THE music industry’s most talented and gorgeous were out in force at MTV’s European Music Awards 2018 in Bilbao on Sunday. Host Hailee Steinfeld looked incredible as she warned ‘anything can happen’ during the EMA’s consistently unpredictable gong presentations. Camila Cabello rolled into the star-studded event as the most nominated artist, with six potentials to her name. Ariana Grande and Post Malone were not far behind her with five statuette nominations a piece. But it was Cabello who stole the show, walking away with four of the six awards she was put forward for. Explosive live performances were put on by Nicki Minaj, Halsey, Panic! At the Disco, Alessia Cara, Little Mix to name a few. CHIC Claire Foy kept her outfit simple and elegant as she stepped out for The Girl in the Spider’s Web photocall in Madrid. Her role as Queen Elizabeth in The Crown earned the actress critical acclaim and a string of trophies during award seasons over the last few years. And the 34-year-old British sensation ensured all eyes
And Janet Jackson proved exactly why she was the recipient of the Global Icon Award, as she hit the stage for a memorable performance. Among award winners were: Best artist and US act, as well as video and song - Camila Cabello with Havana ft. Young Thug; best pop act - Dua Lipa; best new act - Cardi B; best group BTS; best hip hop and best look Nicki Minaj; best live - Shawn Medes; best rock - 5 Seconds of Summer; and best alternative - Panic! At the Disco.
GONG QUEEN: Camila swept the board.
Foy on promo trail were on her once again as she donned a navy utility minidress as she was papped at the press event at Villamagna Hotel last week. The edgy outfit featured an exposed silver zipper, large black pockets and a pulled-in belted waist. Her clearskinned, porcelain face was
simply enhanced with dewy, natural make-up, and her short, brunette hair was slicked back. Commanding attention as she continued the promotional trail for the flick, Foy said her role in The Crown ‘doesn’t define her.’ Foy is the third actress to play Lisbeth Salander in the movie franchise.

GORGEOUS Spanish actress Elsa Pataky showed off her toned legs and flat stomach during a breathtaking photo shoot as she modelled for Byron Bay’s Spell and The Gypsy during a Madrid break. The 42-year-old made the most of the chilled vibes in the bay after relocating to the Australian coastal town with her actor husband Chris Hemsworth in 2014.
CLAIRE FOY: The British actress has string of films and gongs to her name.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better. In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time.

There is so much that has come to light in the past few weeks, it is no wonder that your mind is reeling. All will become clear in the weeks ahead and this cannot be rushed. However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although last week was not run at the pace anticipated, now the pace certainly picks up. Finances are still firmly on the agenda, but this time you will be able to deal on a more relaxed basis. A contact made recently gives you the opportunity not only to make some money but also to enlarge your circle of friends.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high. There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk who you are willing to mix with.

Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found. Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on
the back for that recent achievement? Socially, this is a lovely week when old friendships are strengthened and new acquaintances prove to be relaxing. It is another mellow week but one in which you seriously consider making a major change.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action. Simply being in the right place and under someone’s gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people. Some of those people prove to be quite fascinating.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Having put in extra effort to bring a zing into your life, it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better. Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days.

App of the week Creepy crawlies Insect Identifier is a new app for working out which bug is which. Users snap pictures of an insect and the app attempts to find out what it is. It also contains Wikipedia entries in case you want more information. Additionally, you get a log that contains all of the bugs you have previously searched. This is an app genre that doesn’t have a ton of options, so definitely one for creepy crawly fans.

Expat community free to express views Jamie Truby’s letter ‘Appalling Views bring shame’ (EWN 1739) has brought quite a response from our readers… ON reading the letter from Jamie Truby (Issue 1739), referring to Leapy Lee’s column, I could hear the chuckles from the expat community across Spain. Yes, Jamie, we are indeed fortunate to live in a country where anyone can air his/her views on any subject and not have to worry about the PC Brigade. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to Leapy. What is worrying is your reaction, coming from what you describe as ‘the civility of the UK.’At one time, any and all views could also be expressed in that country in public. It seems this is no longer the case. To paraphrase: ‘I may not always agree with Leapy’s opinions but I will defend to the death his right to express them.’ THAT, dear Jamie, is called Democracy.

As usual the PC brigade, so desperate to be offended on behalf of others, rush to condemn, spewing more hate
than is caused by the act itself. Are any of those complainants actually black? I suspect not, as they rarely are, black people have more sense than to get offended by a child dressing up. White liberals seek racism where it isn’t. Please just calm down, you just cause more racial division by indignantly stirring up hatred as you are doing now. John

Marbella Moments by Nicole King ALTHOUGH I am the face of #MarbellaNowTV my guests are the stars, so when #MiMarina, Marina Nitzak, Founder and President of Luks Marbella, (the Russian-speaking association in Marbella) organised a make-up, hair and photo session for me, I was more than a little reluctant to be the centre of such attention. However it’s possibly one of the best gifts I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t have been in better hands with her dream team which included Anna Rusakova, wardrobe and makeup, Elena Sikorskaya, fashion photographer, and Natasha Mokchort, hairdresser. The experience was a real boost of confidence for me and an eye opener to what can be done with my curls apart from let them ‘do their thing’!! Anna is a personal shopper and image consultant and turned up with clothes I loved and were so ‘me’ that my daughter thought they were actually from my own wardrobe.

A company like Roy Trevor Removals is ideally situated to assist whatever your decision may be, and with our parent company established in the UK in 1918 and their Spanish business operating with a permanent base in Andalucia since 1992, they can assist with whatever needs a client may have.

V I S I T O U R W E B S I T E W W W. E U R O W E E K LY N E W S . C O M ROSACEA - those painful red facial patches some of us suffer from- can be both uncomfortable and distressing. Often mistaken for acne or eczema, rosacea is an inflammatory condition which can cause the blood vessels in the face to swell and become more obvious. More common in fair-skinned people, experts do not yet fully understand what causes rosacea, which first presents itself in the form of large, red bumps. While as yet not everything is known about the condition, doctors do agree there are various factors which can exacerbate the condition, and that avoiding these could help control breakouts. The first and most important thing to do if you have developed any new, chronic skin condition on the face, such as itching, redness, or spots, is to see a pharmacist of doctor who may be able to advise you what you are suffering from. This is particularly important if the condition is near your eyes. Rosacea has four sub-types and if you are still uncertain, it may be helpful to consult a dermatologist who will be able to tell you exactly which condition you have in more detail. If you know you have rosacea, al-

Treating rosacea
ROSACEA: Can be uncomfortable and distressing. though distressing, try not to worry too much. This is a common condition which affects around one in 10 people in the UK, according to Bupa.
It can fluctuate with seasonal changes, as well as hormonal ones and many things can be done to lessen its symptoms or appearance.
The British Skin Foundation recommends, ‘the inflammatory element of rosacea may be controlled with a drug applied to the affected areas. It
&
takes at least eight weeks for its effect to become evident.’ For some cases, oral antibiotics may help, ‘these are helpful for the inflammatory element of moderate or severe rosacea. The most commonly used antibiotics belong to the tetracycline group and include tetracycline, oxytetracycline, doxycycline, lymecycline and minocycline. Erythromycin is another commonly used antibiotic. The duration of an antibiotic course depends on your response. Your doctor may suggest that you use a cream and oral treatment together.’ There are also things you can do at home to help the condition. These include protecting your skin from the sun by using a sun block (with a sun protection factor of at least 30) on your face. You should also take care not to rub or scrub your face when cleansing or use perfumed soap as this can make rosacea worse. It may also help to use an unperfumed moisturiser on a regular basis if your skin is dry or sensitive. Finally, gentle make-up can be used to lessen the appearance of rosacea. Try to choose a more natural, unperfumed formula with good coverage that still allows your skin to breathe.
The knee / back connection YOUR body works as a whole unit. A team. And that ‘work’ of moving you forward still needs to be done even if one part d o e s n ’t f u n c t i o n t h a t great. So another area picks up the slack. And when that part of the team doing the extra work gets too tired? You get pain. Now, if this is the situa t i o n i t d o e s n ’t m a t t e r how much fabulous treatment you get in the painful area - you won’t make any progress because you are treating the symptom not the cause. Knees and backs make a fantastic team - and
they often pick up the slack for each other so they always have to be assessed together.
So your lower back ‘picks up’ the leg to try and help. Which means your back works harder than usual. E v e n t u a l l y, i f y o u r k n e e d o e s n ’t r e t u r n t o ‘normal’ function your back continues working too hard. And starts to complain. And complaining muscles feel sore.
Pain comes limping in When you have a painful knee you unconsciously change how you walk. You stop extending it fully and using all the muscles and flexibility in that leg. But you still have to move forward.
Back or knee? It may be that your b a c k p a i n , w h i c h i s n ’t getting better, has nothing to do with your back - it could be that we need to fix your knee function to allow your back to stop overworking.

Sleeping beauty WE all k n o w we sh ou ld g et a t least eight hours sleep a night. This advice has been drummed into us from childhood, sparking a lucrati v e i n d u st r y o f p ro d u cts promising to help us get to and stay asleep. We know sleep helps us recover from the day before, resting our bodies and allowing certain chemical processes to kick in which prepare us for the day ahead. But did you also know night-time is when your skin tries to repair itself, making it an optimum time to use certain beauty products? At night, skin goes into a mode of recovery, fighting to repair any damage caused in the day. In fact, it can heal up to three times faster at night than in the day time. The hormone melatonin primarily works to make us feel sleepy but also works during the day to ward o ff d a m a g e f r o m U V an d pollution. Another hormone, HGH (the human growth hormone), also
gets to work while we sleep, helping to speed up our skin’s repair process and regenerate cells. This causes our cell production to double between the hours of 11pm and 4am and potentially trip le in o u r d e e p s le e p be tween 2am and 4am. So it’s no wonder cosmetic companies are falling over themselves to create products designed specifically to be used at night and which take advantage of and assist our bodies’ natural processes. The range of products available ranges from serums, to creams and masks, each promising to tackle a variety of issues a n d h e lp y o u w ake up looking more rested. So which one is for you? If you are suffering from red, inflamed or sensitive skin, you may benefit from a calming solution which will work with your body as it restores itself.
Feeling oil-right
HALLOWEEN has come and gone, Bonfire Night is in the rear-view mirror and now Christmas is looming firmly on the horizon. This can only mean one thing; winter is definitely here. This is no bad thing. Winter signals the beginning of snuggly nights in, log burning fires, mulled wine and
our favourite comforting foods. But the season’s colder, wetter weather can also play havoc with our skin, hair and nails. The constant merry-goround of central heating, high winds and driving rain can destroy our lipid (moisture) layers, leaving us with peeling nails, dry, bushy hair, and flaky skin.
Nip this unpleasant seasonal side effect in the bud, by using a three-in-one oil to protect against moisture loss. A natural oil such as argan, jojoba or apricot kernel can be used to slick through hair ends, massage onto nail beds and can be applied to wet skin post-shower, leaving you glowing, hydrated and ready for the festive period.
REN: Offers a product to repair skin overnight.
REN Ever cal m Over ni ght Recover y B a lm ( €48 f r om eu.f eel unique.com) is a ‘rich night balm that feeds the skin when it is most perceptive to healing. Targeting sensitivity, inflammation and dryness, the balm boosts and safeguards natural regeneration and repair.’
For more sensitive skins which prefer a more natural approach, the formula uses olive, almond, borage, jojoba, beta-glucan, sunflower and linseed oils to calm stressed out skins. For a more anti-ageing product f or t hose wor r i ed m or e about lines and wrinkles, there is the Clinique Turnaround Overnight Revitalising Moisturiser (€53.50 from www.clinique.es).

BURSTING: Feeling bloated can be caused by eating too quickly.
Beating the bloat WE’VE all had that feeling after a large meal or an indulgent holiday, when your stomach can feel over-full or uncomfortable. It can be easy to assume this is simply because we have put on a pound or two but even if we make all the right food choices, the cause can just be simple bloating of the stomach. This condition, can have various causes but thankfully is easily treated. According to Healthline.com, ‘abdominal bloating occurs when the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is filled with air or gas. Most people describe bloating as feeling full, tight, or swollen in the abdomen. ‘Your abdomen may also be swollen (distended), hard, and painful. Bloating
HEALTH & BEAUTY
is often accompanied by pain, excessive gas (flatulence), frequent burping or belching, abdominal rumbling or gurgles’ The site claims the most common cause of bloating is gas which can enter the stomach by eating or drinking too quickly, as well as by taking in too many carbonated drinks. Chewing gum and smoking can also cause the problem. If this is the case, try to slow down eating and cut back on fizzy drinks by eating more mindfully and taking time to chew and enjoy your food. Certain foods can also cause bloating, including beans and legumes, which can produce gas as they are broken down in the stomach. Instead, try to substi-
tute lighter coloured lentils and black beans which can be more easily digested. Wheat can also cause bloating in those who have a gluten intolerance. If you suspect this may be you, why not try some glutenfree alternatives for pasta and bread and see if this helps. While it may be good for us in many other respects, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables can be hard for our bodies to digest, causing a build-up of gas. Instead, spinach, cucumbers, lettuce and sweet potato still contain plenty of vitamins but without the painful side effects. Another unlikely culprit is some fruits. These include apples, which according to Healthline have,
‘been known to cause bloating and other digestive issues for some people.’ It seems, ‘the culprits are fructose (which is a FODMAP) and the high fibre content. Fructose and fibre can both be fermented in the large intestine, and may cause gas and bloating.’ The website suggests switching raw apples for cooked ones which can be easier to digest. Finally, dairy products can be difficult for many to digest, resulting in bloating and discomfort. If that is the case, why not try some dairy-free alternatives such as almond or soy milk and butter. Cutting back on cheese toppings can also help bloating without impacting too much on taste.
WHETHER you’re a washand-go type, or you like to leave the house primped to perfection, there is one beauty product which can seriously cut down on the time it takes to get ready each morning. CC, or colour-correcting creams, combine a series of daily essentials such as moisturiser, SPF, and foundation in one product, eliminating the need to buy and use several different creams. While CC creams have been around for a while, the latest generation include even
more benefits, including light-diffusing particles which blur the look of lines and imperfections, and colour correctors to treat specific concerns like sallowness. Winter skin can become red and flushed. If this sounds like you, opt for a CC cream with a green tone which will cancel out any redness. If sallowness is your problem, a lavender-tinted product will cut through yellowness, while a dull complexion can be reversed with a peachcoloured product.
Iron deficiency a risk HORMONES are more often than not blamed for women feeling physically and mentally down during their period. But now scientists suggest reduced iron levels could disrupt their mood and cause them greater irritability during the menstrual cycle. Lower levels of the nutrient, which is abundant in dark, leafy vegetables, can cause women to become moody and less motivated, the Polish team of researchers claim. They added that an iron deficiency may even be a ‘risk factor for mood disorders,’ such as depression.
Researchers at Nicolaus Copernicus University claim the drop in iron can worsen women’s cognitive performance and endurance. This is because a lack of iron, which occurs because of blood loss, causes the body’s brain and central nervous system to slow down. Iron deficiency is apparently the most common nutritional deficiency, affecting more than two billion people worldwide. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, an estimated 20 per cent of women of childbearing age have iron deficiency anaemia. The Polish team of researchers studied 23 physically active women, who were aged between 20 and 32 during their period. Their mental and physical performance was analysed during this time, including running an EEG scan to take several measurements, including emotional reactivity. They found mild iron deficiency may result in withdrawal tendencies, decreased motivation and sensationseeking behaviour.

I soon arrived at the client’s house, a bit apprehensive about what to expect.

The family exchanged presents I received a lovely bath set - and we spent the remainder of the day doing the usual Christmas activities; watching films, playing games

PRETTY: Grazalema is one of Andalucia’s famous white villages.
by Dilip Kuner HIDDEN away is the parched landscape of Andalucia you can find an oasis of verdant green - the natural park of Grazalema. Somewhat surprisingly the pretty white village of Grazalema is renowned for being the rainiest spot in Spain, a title that you might expect to be taken by a town in the cooler regions of Asturias or Galicia. The magnificent rocky out-
crop of Peñon Grande that towers over both the village and the whole park is the reason for all the rain - it is the first high peak that warm wet winds from the Atlantic encounter when they hit Spain. The copious rain has made this a unique place in Andalucia. An ecology has developed over thousands of years that combines Mediterranean and more northerly species, with microclimates providing a haven for all manner of
wildlife. Grazalema village is an idyllic spot from which to explore the glories of the park. Its steep cobbled streets and selection of small bars and restaurants are well worth a visit on their own, as are the magnificent views. The restaurants are extremely proud of the fish that comes from Europe’s most southerly trout river, which wends its way through this area of outstanding natural beauty.

Such a Sizzler in Fuengirola THERE is no doubt that fusion restaurants are becoming ever more popular here on the Costa del Sol and the Sizzler Restaurant in Fuengirola offers a perfect marriage between Indian and Mexican cuisine. At first thought, this may seem to be a slightly strange marriage, but in fact both styles of cooking rely upon the use of fresh ingredients combining herbs, spices and vegetables. There is plenty for vegetarians to enjoy, but for those who enjoy fish and meat there is also a good range of options. The menu offers diners a choice of different dishes so you can eat TexMex or Indian or even mix the two styles, especially if you are dining in a large party and want to share. For the meat eater, the shining star at Sizzler (after which the restaurant is named) is the spectacular Steak on the Stone which is an exceptional cut of fine beef (entrecote or fillet) presented to you on a hot stone for you to cook to your preference and they even give you guidance on how the

If you are a little worried about cooking it yourself, then your helpful waiter will arrange for the Chef to cook it to your exact specifications.

BEAUTIFUL NOISE: Antony performing at the EWN Royal Wedding Party.
Sweet Caroline and much more THE name Antony Wolfson is known along the Costa del Sol as a tireless performer who is particularly associated with the music of Elvis Presley.

stand that he is an artist in his own right who performs songs made famous by some of his musical heroes. Tickets for this event cost €15 per person and can be purchased online from Salon Varietes or from their box office which is open Monday to Saturday 11.20am to 2pm (952 474 542).

Kicking off the Oxygen tour COMING from a hugely talented musical family, it was perhaps inevitable that María Lucía Sánchez Benítez, better known as Malú should follow in her father and uncle’s footsteps. She is the daughter of singer Pepe de Lucia, niece of the late great flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia and her brother Jose de Lucia plays guitar in her band. Although she comes from a strong flamenco background, she has opted for a more rock/pop feel which recognises the music of her heritage, but is considered to be both modern and in keeping with current trends. Her latest tour which only has some 10 dates in Spain sees her performing songs from her recently released 12th studio album Oxygen and her first appearance will be at the Palacio de Deportes Martin Carpena in Malaga City tomorrow (Friday) with tickets costing from €33.50 to €36.

Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England WATCHES for ladies are small, bejewelled and driven by quartz. They may not even have a battery as ladies are assumed to be not so much interested in time as in diamonds. Or so goes the prejudice. Actually the contemporary woman is more likely to be looking for a watch that is big, bold and gold. One watch that sets it sights right at the modern woman is the Royal Oak Frosted Gold. The case of the watch measures 37mm in diameter while the case’s diamond dust sparking finish is achieved by hammering the gold surface with a diamond tipped tool to create indentations. The silver toned mirror dial under a glare proofed sapphire crystal has applied indices with luminous treated hands in the classical Royal Oak style. While a second sapphire crystal in the case back offers a delightful view of the self-winding movement, with a 3-hz frequency and a 60-hour power reserve. The creative partnership between Italian Jewellery designer Carolina Bucci and Audemars Piguet, the Royal Oak Frosted is an attention seeking piece. The diamond dust finish in yellow gold is hardly shy and retiring and is not going to stay locked away in the jewellery box, rather it’s on the wrist and in the face of any stray onlooker. The traditional Royal Oak could be considered a quintessentially male watch which has not been feminised, rather the Royal Oak has been roughed up a little, Frosted. Carolina Bucci explained her ethic as the Royal

Collect a watch for Christmas Oak Frosted Gold design, “I took the perfection of the Royal Oak case and bracelet and ‘roughened them up’ a little juxtaposing the perfectly imperfect Florentine finish with Swiss watchmaking precision. Now I’m doing the opposite, taking the textured surface of the Tapisserie dial and flattening it out into a perfectly smooth mirror. It’s a fresh take on an icon made in the image of the contemporary woman. “I know women with a great eye for keynote accessories who are going to love this. The mirror is always interacting with its environment, ever-changing according to what clothes you’re wearing, the décor of the room, the lighting, the time of day, the weather.” Audemars Piguet is the oldest fine watchmaking manufacturer still in the hands of its founding families. While Carolina Bucci shares Audemars Piguet’s dedication to craftsmanship and a family heritage. Tradition reinforcing modernity the contemporary woman,

Beautiful, beautiful San Sebastian TALK to almost every Spanish national about travelling around Spain, and they will all mention San Sebastian. And if you say that you’ve never been there, it’s greeted with a look of dismay, quickly followed by ‘it’s beautiful... you must go there!’ San Sebastian - or Donostia as it’s known to the local Basque Country population - is one of t h e m o s t n o r t h e r l y o f S p a i n ’s most popular tourist destinations located on the Bay of Biscay. San Sebastian’s most famous attraction is its great selection of beaches, but for those seeking a little more than a sunbathing holiday there is a wealth of history to be discovered and a chance to learn about a whole different culture - and language - at the same time. If anything, a trip to San Sebastian feels like you’re visiting two countries for the price of one. Much of the architecture that
San Sebastian offers is relatively modern, with one example being the Buen Pastor Cathedral (or Cathedral of the Good Shepherd). Dominating the local skyline at 75 metres high (245 feet), construction began in 1888 with the official documentation being signed by the two-year-old King Alfonso XIII... the present King Felipe VI’s great grandfather. The building was originally just a church and designated as being a cathedral in 1953, nine years before it was completed. Featuring the Gothic Revival style, it’s considered the most important church in San Sebastian and is an even more spectacular sight at night thanks to the lighting. One of the most visited places in San Sebastian is the Parte
Vieja (Old Town). The quaint buildings famous for their very colourful roofs are protected from the sea by the Monte Urgull. Traditional tourists that are looking for a more relaxed form of nightlife will quickly fall in love with the Parte Vieja when they get to know its trendy bars and cafes, and with the Basque Country being world famous for the quality of its cuisine, there is no problem in finding a quality restaurant or four. To w a l k o ff t h e f o o d a n d drink, a stroll through the streets to see some of the city’s other famous churches - such as the Basilica of St Mary’s of the Chorus - is recommended, and as you do so try to imagine that until 1863, this historic Parte Vieja was surrounded by a wall.
DOMINATING: The Buen Pastor Cathedral was finally finished in 1962.

Invest time in your tools COLDER, rainy days offer the perfect chance to give the garden shed an overhaul. Lock yourself away for an afternoon and give those hard working tools a good clean or fix up. All you need is a bucket of warm soapy water, a kitchen knife and a stiff brush to clean off dried-on muck and spruce up your hoes, spades, forks, rakes and trowels. Mower blades, shears and secateurs as well as old iron spades or hoes (don’t try to sharpen stainless-steel ones) will benefit from a light touchup too, which will make them easier to use. It is a good idea to invest in a decent sharpening stone if you have a workbench with a vice for holding blades steady while you work on them, ideally several of different sizes and grades for different sorts of blades. Alternatively, you can get toolsharpening attachments for electric drills which are effective and easy to use. If you can’t, or don’t want to sharpen your tools yourself, look out for
ORGANISED: Hang handled tools up out of the way.
CLEAR OUT: Now is a good time to give garden tools an overhaul. the sort of old-fashioned hardware shop that can do it for you. Once your tools are clean and dry, take a can of easing oil such as WD40
and spray all the metal surfaces generously to stop them rusting, paying particular attention to moving parts and places where water could get
trapped, such as the axis of shears and secateurs. Some gardeners use general purpose DIY oil or old engine oil, which
they paint on with an old brush, before wrapping the tools in oiled paper and packing them away. However, see-through plastic storage boxes from DIY stores are a good way to keep smaller tools, so you can see where everything is. Spades, hoes and other tools with long handles, are best hung on proper tool racks on the wall of the shed or garage. With specialist gadgets, power tools or machinery, it is always advisable to hang on to the owner’s handbook and follow the maker’s instructions to the letter, especially while expensive items are under warranty. It may be a tedious task, but if you look after your tools, over the years you’ll save yourself the cost of replacing new sets of gardening gear, meaning a little bit more cash for plants, a new barbecue or garden furniture.

NORMALLY a person can feel the warning signals of low blood sugar (sweating, shaking, nausea, and confusion). However, some are unable to feel these symptoms and are thus unaware that their blood sugar is dropping or is dangerously low. This can lead to seizures, brain damage, or passing out while driving. Diabetic Alert Service Dog: a dog that gives a trained signal to alert its partner to low or high blood sugar levels. Animal behaviour consultants can train your dog to be a Diabetic Alert Dog by guiding your dog to alert you in advance of low (hypoglycemia) or high (hyperglycemia) blood sugar before it becomes dangerous, so you can take steps to return blood sugar to normal, such as using glucose sweets or insulin. The dogs are trained to accompany their owners wherever they travel in the manner of guide and assistance dogs.
Make your dog into a diabetic alert dog TRAINED: Diabetic alert dogs will accompany you everywhere you go.
PETS PAGE www.euroweeklynews.com The training process is done much like that of a termite detection dog. They are rewarded for finding high blood sugar (supposed to smell like tutti fruity gum) or low blood sugar which is supposed to smell like rusty water or nail polish remover. Tarra Robinson, after having Type-One diabetes her entire life, became unaware of her low blood sugar, known as hypo-unawareness. She began passing out at work and crashed her car due to unexpected lows. An insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor didn’t improve the situation. She then began the training process with her Labrador/Golden Retriever mix named Duchess. Diabetes Alert Dogs, trained to detect the scent of low blood sugar levels, are right 90 per cent of the time, according to consultants. Dogs are trained to lick the hand if they sense a low. When a diabetic sleeps, the dog will stand guard and get on top of the person to try and wake them if she smells a low. If you would like more information on how your dog can be trained in this and other ways, talk to your vet or email me at david@thedog man for advice.

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

Tel. 608 258 950 info@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 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.

“McLaren hits top gear The US Peerless Car Company was founded in 1900 but by the 1930’s it saw a brighter future in beer, so it bought a licence from Carling to produce their Red Cap and Black Label beers.
MCLAREN has revealed its fastest ever road car. The 250mph Speedtail. Described as the modern version of the F1, the three-seater comes with an incredible price tag. Marketed at €2 million, anybody who wishes to own one of these supercars will have to fork out around €2.4 million after taxes. But while replacing one of the greatest cars of all time is no easy task, McLaren’s latest supercar entry has plenty to shout about in its own right. Built with a 5.2-metre long sweeping body, it is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, while still offering plenty for the eye to enjoy. This includes an all-carbon fibre body, aluminium active suspension and carbon ceramic brakes, while the flashy motor boasts a petrol-electric hybrid engine capable of 1,035bhp, which gives the car the power to accelerate from 0-186mph in an eye-watering 12.8 seconds. However, arguably the most interesting feature of the Speedtail is its interior setup. Fitted with just three seats, the driver is centrally located in the cockpit, just like the famous McLaren F1.
IT is hard to think of a car that that has had more makeovers than the Mazda 6. However, even though it has had four updates, only five years have passed since the model was first revealed. This is the sturdiest version yet, with an entirely new interior, two new engines, but with only slight tweaks to the styling.
MOTORING
The racing-inspired position can place a passenger either side of the driver, in the teardrop-shaped compartment. Unlike most supercars, this one is actually built for grand touring, rather than track performance, meaning that more thought and care has been lavished on the interior. The inside is trimmed with carbon fibre, airline leather and other exclusive materials, all of which can be customised through the McLaren Special Operations department. The Speedtail is due for delivery in 2020, with McLaren offering an exclusive line of just 106 cars.
NEED FOR SPEED: The Speedtail lives up to its name.
Mazda 6 reinvents itself The 2.2-litre diesel option delivers plenty of kick in the rev range, so you’re never short changed pulling away from a junction or going for an overtake. Apart from the acceleration, the Mazda 6 is pleasingly quiet
on the move, and there is good body control over larger bumps and undulations. Quick, light steering makes the 6 feel agile, but it can also result in turning into corners a little more quickly than you’d expect,
and there is some steering kickback over bumps. Mazda wants the 6 series to compete on level terms with cars like the BMW-Series and the Audi A4, and the interior has undergone quite the revamp.
The result is impressive, tasteful design, expensive-feeling plastics and some upmarket touches like a dashboard slathered in faux-suede on topspec models. The infotainment system,
The Best Th Bestt Motor Be Mot ooto tor tor or Insurance Ins nsur uran ura ran ance ce The
while still commendable for its clarity and ease of use, is starting to look a little dated next to the plush, high-resolution widescreen systems on offer in its rivals. There are split-folding rear seats which you can flop down from within the boot thanks to clever releases sited at the top of the boot opening. Despite the higher-end models on offer in the 6-series, the midrange version provides the best value. Not only do you get all the toys needed from the SE Lux form, but you also get smaller wheels and higher-profile tyres, which help with the ride. The makeover hasn’t been about teaching an old dog new tricks, so much as keeping this middle aged thruster in good health.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher HOT hatchbacks still have a strong following, and for many are the ideal blend of everyday practicality, with sporty performance at a relatively affordable price. The new Suzuki Swift Sport ticks all of the boxes, and its revised and more potent styling is a real head-turner. There is just one model, priced at €20,229 (£17,999) which is cheaper than most of its main rivals in the class. Powered by a free-revving 1.4-litre 138hp turbo-petrol engine, the Swift Sport has a very quick 0-100kph time of 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 209kph (130mph). Average fuel economy is 17.8kpl (50.4mpg) and emissions are 125g/km. The standard six-speed manual gearbox is well-spaced and slick to operate, and the suspension set-up is perfectly balanced for agile and assured cornering, while delivering a more compliant ride quality than most hot hatches. Its overall driving dynamics are hard to fault, and will de-

With its higher roofline and wider body, the Swift Sport offers plenty of space for four adults, and the boot, though not the largest in its sector, still provides a useful 265 litres, ex-
panding to 579 litres with the rear seats folded. Based on the top-spec SZ5 trim, the Swift Sport has plenty of standard kit, which includes auto air-conditioning, adaptive cruise control, four powered windows, rear parking camera, digital radio, Bluetooth, smart-
phone mirroring, sat-nav, alloy wheels, twin exhausts and rear spoiler. Safety features include lane departure warning, tyre-pressure monitoring and stability control. Overall, the Swift Sport is a very significant contender,
in a class which includes the likes of the Ford Fiesta ST and Peugeot 208 GTI, both of which have higher price tags. With its sharper styling, responsive driving and value for money, the Swift Sport should attract new buyers to the Suzuki brand.
Driverless cars pose control concern PARAMEDICS have been told to watch out for driverless cars leaving the scene after accidents. Guidance for emergency workers says they should keep a door open when working on a driverless vehicle, because this will stop it self-driving away. The document, released by Waymo, the self-driving car project spun out of Google, advises them to open a door of the vehicle ‘to prevent the vehicle from self-driving’ when responding to an accident. The car will also not drive away if an airbag is deployed, in ‘park’ mode, or the handbrake is on. Emergency workers are then advised to call a special hotline set up by the company to disable the self-drive and convert the car into manual mode. Workers may also have to cut a power supply cable in order to disable the car’s battery, when working at the front of the vehicle. “Keep at least one door open while in front of the vehicle to prevent it from selfdriving,” says the guidance. “Also, use standard precautions including wheel chocks.” If a car is pulled over by police, the technology means it will behave like a law-abid-
ing human driver, the company have said. The cars are programmed to detect sirens on police cars or other emergency vehicles and give way to them, the document says. They can also tell if a police car is behind them flashing its lights and are designed to pull over and stop when this happens. The car can then unlock its own doors and roll down windows so that a remote team from Waymo can speak to the police officer. A self-driving car can automatically tell if it has been involved in a crash and will stop, and alert the company, which can call 911 if necessary. It also has teams of people who can be sent to accident sites to help passengers and emergency services. Workers towing a car are asked to ‘use caution to avoid damaging sensors,’ which are on the front and back of the vehicle. The company is testing fully self-driving cars without a backup driver in Phoenix, Arizona, and is transporting a small group of early adopters around an area of the city. It also plans to introduce a self-driving taxi service open to the public within the next few months.

Bentley joins Brexit jitters THE Chief Executive of carmaker Bentley has said that failure to reach a Brexit deal would be “quite damaging” to annual profits and could lead to the plant closing for an extra few days. Adrian Hallmark revealed that his company is already preparing by building up some stocks and switching from the port of Dover to Immingham to bring in specific parts, with more contingencies ready from December if needed. As with the rest of the s e c t o r, t h e Vo l k s w a g e n owned brand, which builds roughly 11,000 vehicles at a northern plant in Crewe, is worried about tariffs under World Trade Organisation terms.

Schaeffler factory facing closure Riversimple Rasa makes waves AN automobile and industrial firm have announced plans to close plants amid ‘Brexit uncertainty,’ putting more than 550 UK jobs at risk. Schaeffler plants in Llanelli and Plymouth are earmarked for closure, with the company considering plans to relocate production to plants outside the UK. A 45-day consultation on the proposals are underway and the union Unite said it would ‘fight for every job.’ The Plymouth factory has 350 staff employed there, and 220 are at the Llanelli plant. Assistant general secretary of Unite, Tony Burke, called the closure plans “yet another blow for the UK’s automotive supply chain and the wider car industry.” Llanelli MP Nia Griffith said: “It is important to try to offer the company any help to try to persuade them to change their minds.” She added that Llanelli AM Lee Waters had already been talking to the Welsh economy secretary Ken Skates to see what was possible. Johnny Mercer, the MP for Plymouth Moor View, said the closure was a “short-sighted

BILLED as ‘the only independent hydrogen fuel cell car company in the world,’ Riversimple has been working hard at its vision of localised, hydrogen-fuelled transport for almost 20 years. It is the brainchild of founder Hugo Spowers, and on November 2 the next stage in its evolution was revealed in London with the unveiling of the Mark 2 version of the innovative Rasa two-seater, which goes on test in Monmouth next year. Rasa is a carbon-fibre-bodied fuel cell car and its name derives from the Latin Tabula Rasa meaning ‘blank slate,’ though Riversimple refers to it as a Network Electric Car. With a 8.5kW Hydrogenics fuel cell (which is also used in fork-lift trucks) and 1.5kg
of hydrogen stored at 5,000psi, the 580kg Rasa has a range of 300 miles and takes seconds or minutes to refuel. The Rasa relies on a series of ultra capacitors for its acceleration which can be charged and discharged far more efficiently than even the most modern lithium-ion batteries. New for the Mark 2 Rasa are four new wheel motors, which are made in-house and allow a redesign of the suspension system and brakes. There is a new design of lightweight road wheels and the adoption of a complete carbon-fibre chassis with the

Leicester will next face Burnley on Saturday, while Cardiff will take on Brighton. Alexander Lacazette’s late equaliser extended Arsenal’s unbeaten run to 13 games in a hard fought 1-1 draw with Liverpool at the Emirates stadium. James Milner’s powerful strike just after the hour, looked to have put unbeaten Liverpool on course for three points. The Reds will feel hard done by after a first-half strike from Sadio Mane was incorrectly ruled out for offside. Liverpool will next play Fulham at Anfield on Sunday, while Arsenal will face Wolves. Other fixtures this weekend will see Crystal Palace face Tottenham, Chelsea host Everton, and West Ham travel to Huddersfield.
La Liga Preview
Real rise from the ashes REAL MADRID grabbed a fortunate victory against Real Valladolid in Santiago Solari’s first game in charge, which was their first league win in six games. Valladolid hit the crossbar twice in the second half before a late deflected strike gave Madrid the lead. Brazilian teenager Vinicius Jr cut in from the right wing and hit an effort that was going well off target until it hit defender Kiko Olivas. Sergio Ramos then chipped in a late penalty after Karim Benzema was fouled, and Ramos’ last five league goals have all been penalties. Real had only picked up one point from their previous five La Liga games, including last Sunday’s 5-1 thrashing by Barcelona, a result which cost boss Julen Lopetegui his job. Los Blancos will next face Celta Vigo on Sunday, while Real Valladolid will entertain Eibar on Saturday. Barcelona stole two late goals to beat struggling Rayo Vallecano in a thriller, extending their lead at the top of La Liga to four points. Luis Suarez put Barca ahead from Jordi Alba’s cutback, but Jose Pozo equalised with an excellent 25-yard shot. Substitute Alberto Garcia tapped home with his first touch as Payo looked set for a much needed second La Liga win of the season. But Ousmane Dembele’s sweet half-volley and Suarez’s last-minute strike won the day for

City’s thumping win, with Aguero and Sterling at the forefront of all their good work, marked the 12th time that Guardiola’s side have scored five or more goals in a league game since the Spaniard arrived at the club. Aguero, Silva, Sterling (2) and Sane were all on the scoresheet for City (along with a Hoedt own goal), with Danny Ings’ penalty the only crumb of comfort in a woeful Southampton display. Guardiola’s side have now won eight of their last nine matches across all competitions, and have conceded only once in six games.

England sneak Springbok win ENGLAND’S rugby union team hung on to claim a breathless 12-11 victory over South Africa at Twickenham to get their autumn internationals off to a winning start. An inexperienced pack felt the full force of South African physicality in the first half, and England’s indiscipline soon hurt them. Hendre Pollard slotted over an early penalty for the Boks and England lock Maro Itoje was then sin-binned for not rolling away after a try-saving tackle on Sbu Nkosi. Only desperate defence on the line and then an over-thrown line-out from South African hooker Malcolm Marx prevented a try, and when Farrell’s first penalty levelled it up, England had weathered some intense pressure.
However, a Springbok try was coming, and when Damian de Allande stepped and accelerated to open up England’s defence, the ball went wide through the quick hands of Aphiwe Dyantyi and Warren Whiteley to send Nkosi over in the corner. But Pollard missed the conversion and when Farrell nailed his second longranger, England were somehow only two points down at halftime. But England’s penalty count continued to climb when play resumed, and it was only handling errors from South Africa that let them off the hook. Then out of nowhere England took the lead, with fullback Elliott Daly smashing a huge 46m penalty over for a 9-8 lead. Confidence began to flow
with Farrell, Daly and Jonny May all making runs into Springbok territory. Pollard knocked over a penalty of his own from distance to wrestle back the lead, but Daly then went on a scything run only for Brad Shields to spill the ball three metres out. However, England smashed the Springboks at the subsequent scrum and Farrell stroked over his third penalty to make it 12-11. Agonisingly for South African fly-half Hendre Pollard, he saw a penalty of his own clip the outside of the right post with four minutes remaining. With the clock on overtime, Farrell produced a huge hit on Andre Esterhuizen, and though the challenge went to the video referee, it was deemed legal and England were home.

ENGLAND’S Justin Rose regained the world number one spot after successfully defending his Turkish Airlines Open title, overcoming China’s Li Haotong in a playoff on Sunday. Rose carded five birdies in a typically consistent display to take a one-shot advantage after 16 holes in the final round at the Antalya event. However, he bogeyed the 17th hole to slip back into a share of first with overnight leader Li. Mediocre putts on the 18th from both Li and Rose meant they both finished at 17-under-par after 72 holes. Both players returned to the playoff and after Rose missed a 15- footer for birdie, Li surprisingly threeputted from just nine yards to hand his opponent the title. The 23-year-old Li said: “A tough day for me, honestly. “I think I played well the whole week, but didn’t hole a few putts on the last and that was it.” It was the first time Rose had successfully defended a title in his career and it moved him above
American Brooks Koepka at the top of the world rankings. Spaniard Adrian Otaegui and Belgian Thomas Detry both finished with rounds of 65 to share third on 15 under. German Martin Kaymer closed on 14-under alongside Dane Lucas Bjerregaard, while English pair Tommy Fleetwood and Danny Willett were a shot further back.
JUSTIN TIME: Rose reeled in overnight leader Li.

Marquez’s victory, in front of nearly 104,000 fans, also secured the constructor’s championship for Honda for the fourth straight year, with one round of the season remaining.
kills Kiwis TOMMY MAKINSON stole the show with a hat-trick of tries as England’s rugby league side sealed the three-match series with a 20-14 victory over New Zealand at Anfield. The St Helens’ winger followed a thumping try-saving tackle with three clinical tries as England battled back to win a bruising second Test. Makinson’s decisive score, in which he weaved through the Kiwi defence and beat the full-back to score, completed a superb individual performance. Jake Connor claimed England’s other try as the hosts overturned a 14-6 deficit to win the series before this Sunday’s final Test in Leeds. Connor put the hosts into an early lead with a penalty before Kiwi captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak scored the opening try for the visitors. England drew level before the interval with a composed finish out wide by Makinson, after good hands from those inside him. But New Zealand regained the lead after the break as Watene-Zlezniak carved through the defence before feeding Ken Maumalo on the wing for a simple run in. Shaun Johnson added a further two points before England hit back with Makinson’s second try of the match in the corner. England piled on the pressure and Tom Burgess got over the line only to be held up by three Kiwi defenders. But the match was soon all square as Connor went over after a New Zealand handling error. Then it was time for Makinson to claim his third and best try of the evening, scampering inside off his wing before snaking his way to the try line including a side-step to get past the full-back.
MAKING IT HAPPEN: Tommy Makinson was the stand out performer.
