TRIAL: Klavina disappeared in September 2014.
Brits in court Two on trial for Agnese disappearance
By Joe Gerrard TWO British defendants accused of kidnapping a missing Latvian woman in Marbella in 2014 appeared in a Malaga City court on Monday for the start of their trial. Prosecutors have asked Malaga Provincial Court to jail Westley Capper, 41, and Craig Porter, 37, for 12 years if found guilty over the disappearance of Agnese Klavina. She was aged 30 at the time. The defendants stand accused of bundling Klavina into Capper’s Mercedes after meeting her in a Puerto Banus nightclub on September 6, 2014. Prosecutor Maria del Carmen Tirado Galvez told the court Capper and Porter had made Klavina disappear after
she ‘caused a fuss’ and tried to get out of the Mercedes. Capper, originally from Essex and Porter, from Liverpool, later dumped her body in the Mediterranean, Tirado Galvez claimed. Both defendants deny any wrongdoing. They claim the 30-year-old agreed to go with them and that she had to be carried part of the way to the car because she was drunk. CCTV footage shown in court appeared to show Klavina being forced into Capper’s car. Investigators who examined the footage previously claimed it also showed nightclub bouncer Siene Ousmane, also standing trial, holding the door closed to stop her getting out. Prosecutors also asked Capper about a suitcase and carpet

found aboard his boat some four days after the disappearance. He claimed it contained his clothes that he had taken to Ibiza for ‘closing parties.’ Find Agnese Klavina, a group set up to raise awareness of the case, is aiming to raise €5,000 from a GoFundMe appeal to cover some of the trial costs. The group said the thoughts and well-wishes of the public had given them enormous comfort and inspiration. “This is our time to show
that Spanish justice can prevail and that an innocent woman’s life will not be cast aside and forgotten,” the group said. Capper and Porter were both arrested and charged in connection with Klavina’s disappearance in 2016 following an 18-month investigation. Investigators probing Klavina’s disappearance believe she may now be dead, with her phone having lost signal about five hours after she went missing. The trial continues.

Looking lush THIS woodland on the otherwise volcanic and arid Canary Islands comes as the world celebrates International Forest Day today (Thursday). The Garajonay National Park covers an area of 40-square-kilometre La Gomera. Its name comes from the Garajonay rock formation, the highest point on La Gomera at 1,487 metres. Woodlands covers around 70 per cent of the Garajonay National Park. It is considered the best example of Canarian laurisilva. Laurisilva refers to a type of sub-
tropical forest that covered almost all of southern Europe during the Tertiary geological period between 66 million and 2.6 million years ago. Although it is named as one woodland, Garajonay is made up of several varieties of forest. Humid areas in valleys to the north are home to the richest and most complex forests, while higher altitudes remain the preserve of hardier types of foliage. The woodland is home to the Canary laurel, Laurus novocanariensis, which grows between three and 20

Horse flu outbreak AN animal sanctuary in Alhaurin el Grande has closed to prevent an equine flu outbreak spreading to its horses. The CYD Santa Maria shelter said it closed after the Junta de Andalucia declared the outbreak earlier this month. It was declared after the virus was found in horses in Fuengirola. The shelter, which is home to 250 horses, said the outbreak had already resulted in an upcoming competition in Britain being cancelled.
The Refugio del Burrito in nearby Antequera has also closed. “Our animals are too old and too sick to be able to fight off the virus,” the shelter said. Concordia Marquez, head of the Alhaurin shelter, said staff would reopen it as soon as they received the all clear from the Junta. Equine flu affected horse’s breathing organs and can also impact on their sight and smell. It kills around 80 per cent of infected animals.

MIJAS DONKEY TAXIS: Concerns for their welfare.

Donkey cruelty claims By Tara Rippin AFTER the Euro Weekly News got involved to highlight the potential problem of cruelty towards Mijas Donkey Taxis, the new town councillor for the area is meeting with the animals’ owners. Mandy Ayuso joined Mijas Town Hall earlier in the month, and part of her responsibilities will be to ensure the wellbeing of the donkeys. After being approached by EWN following reports of animal abuse, she has now organised a meeting to see how the donkeys can be best protected.
A council spokesperson said: “Mandy is new to the role and wants to find out as much as she can from the farmers and owners so that she can address any issues knowing the whole situation.” The plight of the Mijas Donkey Taxis again came to light after a number of concerned residents and tourists contacted the press with photographs of allegedly mistreated animals. The EWN received a photograph from a concerned visitor to Mijas Pueblo of donkeys tied so close to railings they could hardly move. Lesley Armatage said: “I have just vis-
ited Mijas. It’s a beautiful place, but I was appalled at the donkeys tied up. They could hardly move their heads. They had no water and they were standing in the same place for hours.” The use of Donkey Taxis in the picturesque town has led to growing criticism of the town hall for allowing it to happen. In the past, the town hall brought in new regulations to monitor and improve animal welfare, such as a minimum length for ropes securing the donkeys, but Mijas Pueblo Animal Cruelty maintains there have been no changes.
Flat fire A TOTAL of 12 people, including three children, were treated for smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in a Mijas apartment on Tuesday.

Local Police and Guardia Civil officers joined firefighters and medical personnel at the building. Emergency services took six of those affected by smoke to Marbella’s Costa del Sol Hospital, while four more went to Malaga City’s Clinical Hospital.

Civil War grave story A NEW book has been released about a Spanish Civil War-era mass grave in Malaga City, which archaeologists exhumed the largest amount of bodies in Western Europe from. The two-volume San Rafael (Malaga) - The pits - February 1937 to November 1955 documents former dictator Francisco Franco’s nationalists’ shooting and burial of thousands in the pits. Archaeologists have exhumed the remains of 2,840 people out of 4,288 buried there from
2006. Many were loyal to the pre-war Spanish Republic. The book, by Andres Fernandez Martin and Francisco Espinosa Jimenez, discusses the backgrounds of those identified from the graves. It also details how many were killed at the start of the La Desbanda flight of refugees from Malaga City to Almeria City. Franco’s forces used warships and military aircraft to attack civilians trying to flee the city.

Mum of dead children found hiding THE mother of two young children who were found murdered in shallow graves in Spain was found in a plastic barrel by a police dog before her arrest. The children’s parents, Maria Gombau, 25, and father Gabriel, a Belgian aged 26, were arrested following the gruesome discovery in the Valencian municipality of Godella last week. A Spanish news station has obtained an exclusive video of the moment when Guardia Civil
officers located Maria Gombau hiding in a blue, plastic barrel near the house where the two children were found buried. The woman claimed she was there because she was hiding from her husband. A huge search for the tots was launched after the baby, just a few months old, and a three-yearold disappeared in ‘strange’ circumstances. A neighbour called 112 emergency services after hearing screams on the morning

BAFFLED villagers in a Spanish village are trying to work out the identity of a Robin Hood figure who has been leaving envelopes containing cash in postboxes and under people’s doors. At least 15 residents ofVillarramiel, in the province of Palencia, have mysteriously received up to €70 in notes each, according to Mayor Nuria Simón. There is no obvious connection between the beneficiaries, or any possible motive for the generous gestures. And adding to the confusion, there doesn’t appear to be a profile either with married people, elderly residents, a widowed woman, a disabled child, young couples and those in employment among those given a cash boost. Villarramiel is home to just 830 people, and news of the anonymous gifts has quickly got round. Simón confirmed that the first envelope was delivered on March 6, with the latest reported on Wednesday morning. All of the notes have been verified at a local bank, proving to be legal tender, and while some people have kept the

BREXIT BRIEF
Borrell on Brexit SPAIN’S Foreign Minister has warned against an ‘eternal Brexit,’ as a delay to the withdrawal date became more likely this week. Josep Borrell said problems were being caused by Britain currently having one foot in and one foot out of the bloc after MPs have repeatedly blocked the proposed Withdrawal Agreement. “Let’s be logical, it does not seem that an agreement different to the current one can be found. Therefore Britain has to modify some of its initial plans,” Borrel said. “We already know what Britain does not want, we would like to know what it wants,” he added. The Foreign Minister added he would support the withdrawal date, currently set for Friday March 29, being pushed back but for no longer than two to three weeks. British officials have floated Saturday June 1 as a possible new date. “It would be ideal, frankly, for the British parliament to accept Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal. That would eliminate doubts and we could grant a purely technical extension to implement the agreement, otherwise I’m afraid this is going to take longer than necessary,” Borrell said.
Deal in doubt By Joe Gerrard A DELAY to Brexit appeared increasingly likely this week after the speaker of the British Parliament said the government could not hold a new vote without substantial deal changes. John Bercow said on Monday that he would not allow the government to put the proposed Withdrawal Agreement to a House of Commons vote in its current form. The third meaningful vote due to be held on Tuesday was ‘substantially’ the same as the one where MPs rejected British prime minister Theresa May’s proposed deal a week previously, the speaker added. The Commons agreed to rule out a no-deal Brexit ‘under any circumstances,’ and also backed a delay to Brexit in principle. That is May’s only option unless she can secure changes to the Withdrawal Agreement and get MPs’ approval in the eight days until Brexit day on Friday March 29. Bercow’s intervention comes as

BREXIT EXTRA ‘Unhealthy’ influence SNP lawmaker Gavin Newlands has said the influence exercised by the 10 Northern Irish DUP MPs over the government and Brexit process is ‘incredibly unhealthy’ as they continue to prop up the minority Conservative government in Parliament.
Unity push SETBACKS: May now faces seeking a Brexit delay after Bercow’s (inset) intervention. Brexit minister Kwasi Kwarteng said May would write to European Council president Donald Tusk to ask for a delay to the withdrawal date. The prime minister would then return to parliament to ask for lawmakers’ approval if Tusk lends his backing to the plan, Kwarteng added. Meanwhile, the European Council has agreed a raft of measures cover-
ing a no-deal Brexit in case an extension is not possible. Brussels officials said the legislative acts covered British nationals living in EU member states and protected the rights of EU27 nationals in Britain. Flights to and from Britain as well as road freight and passenger traffic and fishing were also covered on the condition that Britain implements similar arrangements, the Council said.
BRITAIN’S Church of England has said it is encouraging parishes to hold ‘cafestyle’ meetings on the weekend of March 30, days after the scheduled Brexit date to promote unity and to pray for the country and its future.

Coffin scam suspect bailed By Sally Underwood THE daughter of a man accused of running a coffin scam in north west Spain has been released on bail.
ALMOST half of all people who arrived in Spain after travelling on the western Mediterranean migration route experienced abuse or exploitation, according to a UN report. The UN’s International Organisation for Migration (IOM) found 49 per cent of men and 40 per cent of women said they had experiences related to trafficking, abuse or exploitation. The IOM surveyed 1,341 migrants from 39 different countries and refugees who arrived in Spain last year. Men outnumbered women nine to one, reflecting the ratio among migrants at large. Maria Jesus Herrera, head of IOM operations in Spain, said the results of the survey were “alarming.” “It is striking how

varied their motivations and experiences are, and we do not always realise the very high levels of vulnerability at play,” Herrera said. “Ultimately, much of the abuse and suffering could be avoided by strengthening safe channels for regular migration,” she added. The survey found migrants were most likely to encounter abuse or exploitation while travelling through Mali, Libya, Algeria or Morocco. About 46 per cent of respondents said they were robbed at least once while travelling to Spain. A total of 63,325 people came to Spain via the western Mediterranean migration route last year, making it the leading entry point into Europe for migrants according to UN data.

Brain studies A GROUP of Spanish and European scientists are carrying out a study into whether they can help groups work better at joint tasks by studying their brains. The researchers from Russia, Germany, and the Polytechnic University of Madrid, have published their work in Frontiers in Neuroscience. The study saw pairs grouped up and their brains connected up to a computer before receiving a set of images while their cognitive abilities were monitored. The partner who showed more cognitive fatigue received more straight-forward images while the one who had greater levels of concentration received more complex images. The research could help develop ways to share cognitive load between groups carrying out a common task.

reported directly to the Office of the Prosecutor.’ In addition to reporting the incident, schools will separate the accused from children and open an internal investigation. The document added: ‘Acts of sexual abuse of children should not be silenced, nor covered up or underestimated in any case.’ It also explained suspected cases should be reported within 24 hours and the school should contact emergency services if the child is injured, as well as provide psychological support.

Franco exhumation date
DECISION: Franco (inset) will be re-interred at Mingorrubio. THE Spanish government has announced the remains of General Franco will be transferred from his resting place in the Valley of the Fallen to a cemetery in El Pardo on June 10. He will be re-interred at Mingorrubio where his wife, Carmen Polo, is buried, and which is known as the last resting place of presidents, ministers and artists.
Vice president of the government Carmen Calvo, announced the news following a Council of Ministers meeting, saying: “This decision must be complied with by any government, unless it changes the procedures,” a reference to the upcoming general election. Calvo added that the date had been chosen to ensure the politically contentious move
would not happen during the elections. It also allows time for Franco’s family to complete judicial proceedings; they have taken the government to court to oppose the exhumation of Spain’s late dictator. The date can be delayed should the Supreme Court require more time to reach a decision.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS By Joe Gerrard ELECTIONS in Spain continue to approach as parties not only vie for seats at a national and European level but also compete for control of local and regional authorities. Local and regional elections are due to take place in Spain on Sunday May 26, the same day as European elections. On a regional level Spain’s political parties are seeking to win seats in 12 out of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities. Voters will not go to the polls in Andalucia, the Basque Country, Cataluña or Galicia due to elections having being held in those regions less than four years ago. The Valencia Region’s electorate are due to be balloted on Sunday April 28, the same day as the national poll. Voters will be asked to send representatives to the regional assemblies of the 12 autonomous communities holding elections. Those authorities have

Spain’s ruling political party at a national level, the leftleaning Partido Socialista (PSOE), is defending five of the regional authorities up for election. The conservative Partido
Popular (PP) is defending four, with the remaining three in the Canary Islands, Cantabria and Navarra held by regional parties. The PP will be looking to replicate its success in Andalucia in December. That election saw it unseat PSOE for the first time in Andalucia in Spain’s democratic history after striking a pact with the
centrist Ciudadanos and the far-right Vox. Locally, all of Spain’s councils and its 38 provincial deputations will be voted on. Town and city councils manage local services including refuse collection, street lighting and small-scale public works projects including street renovations. Smaller political parties including single-issue or regionally-specific groups tend to do better at a local level where the duopoly of PSOE and PP is not as strong. Provincial deputations sit between local councils and regional authorities and are tasked with managing some public services such as transport and working to support economic activity. There are no provincial deputations in Asturias, the Madrid Region, Murcia and La Rioja due to those regions having only one province.
Profile: PP WITH a general election looming on Sunday April 28, we are profiling each of the political parties vying for victory in the vote. The conservative Partido Popular (PP) is one of Spain’s two dominant political parties. It is currently the official opposition to the ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) in the Cortes. The party was created following the rebranding of its predecessor, the Alianza Popular (AP) in 1989. The AP itself was founded by former ministers from dictator Francisco Franco’s regime in an effort to maintain his core agenda of defending traditional, Catholic Spain. The party has since undertaken a long march towards the centre-right, absorbing smaller Christian and liberal parties. Its platform is now broadly pro-business while also continuing to claim the mantle of the defenders of traditional Spanish values on the family, faith and other social issues. Current party leader Pablo Casado was elected in July. His victory was seen as a swing to the right for the party and he has pledged to curb immigration and restrict abortion for women if the PP takes power. Poll tracker: Partido Socialista (PSOE): 27.3 per cent, 115 seats Partido Popular (PP): 20.7 per cent, 84 seats Ciudadanos: 15.4 per cent, 55 seats Vox: 12.5 per cent, 35 seats Result: PSOE largest party, no overall control.

The EWN team work around the clock, seven days a week to ensure that our fast-growing social media community is provided with the latest, most accurate news from an Englishlanguage news site in Spain. While other sites may engage in sensationalist headlines to gain clicks our readers prefer us to deliver the news as it is. And that’s just one of the reasons why advertisers choose our print and online packages to reach out to customers with maximum reach for their budget. In the past year alone our Facebook likes have grown by a massive 6,000 new fans and now we have new targets in our sights. We generally post more than twice
as many news updates to our Facebook page as other smaller newspapers and with double the engagement rate. And we have almost double the number of followers as a fortnightly publication based on the Costa del Sol. One smaller paper still claims it is Spain‘s number one expat newspaper and ‘second in the world,’ but their claim is from 2016 and involved just a small sample of people that were polled by a UK marketing group - and the awards have not been run since. On our website and our Facebook page we encourage readers to enter into the debate on hot topics and engage and comment on our posts with the best of them also appearing in print every week. Unusually in the English-language news publishing sphere in Spain we allow our readers to review our Facebook page and we’re proud to enjoy a
rating of 4.6 out of 5 - based on the opinion of 401 people. Ask yourself why other titles do not allow reviews on their page. What could they be hiding? Instead some publications refuse to show a rating, and instead rely on dubious stats from tools like Alexa. To quote influential social media blogger Shane Barker: “You’ll also find that Alexa rankings aren’t too important for these reasons: • Alexa only takes into account data received from users of their toolbar, so the results may be quite relative. Not everyone has the toolbar installed. There are millions of websites that may never receive a good rank despite having a lot of traffic. • As previously mentioned, Alexa can be manipulated. Online traffic data can be influenced to a significant extent. The results may not be as ac-

The Euro Weekly News avoids flawed tools and relies instead on what you – our readers and clients - actually say about us. We think that is the best way.

NATO: Spain lags on defence spending SPAIN is among the NATO members which spends the least on defence as a proportion of economic output (GDP), according to estimates from the organisation. NATO found Spain spent the equivalent of 0.93 per cent on their defence budgets in 2018. Belgium spent the same proportion, and both countries came ahead of Montenegro which recently joined the alliance. The US spent the equivalent
of 3.39 per cent of its GDP while Britain, Poland, Latvia, Greece and Estonia spent around 1.5 per cent. It comes as NATO’s European members agreed to raise defence spending to 2 per cent of GDP by 2024. The pledge came in response to calls from the Trump administration in the US for other NATO members to shoulder more of the burden for funding NATO’s collective military capabilities.

Madrid Catalan protest CATALAN pro-independence demonstrators marched in Madrid on Saturday to support the 12 defendants standing trial in Spain for rebellion and other charges over the October 2017 referendum and independence push. Estimates on the number of marchers vary, with organisers claiming around 120,000 activists took part while police said about 18,000 demonstrated. About 500 buses took activists from Cataluña and elsewhere in Spain to the capital. A huge banner with the slogan: ‘self-determination is not a crime,’ headed the march. Catalan President Quim Torra, who attended the protest, told demonstrators they would not stop until the region’s right to self-determination was recognised. “Listen Spain to this clamour for

Gas prices fall THE price of butane cylinders has fallen by 4.87 per cent, bringing the price to €13.86 per 12.5 kilo canister. The price drop is the second of the year, falling by 71
cents for the next two months and making the gas 10 cents and 0.72 per cent cheaper than during the same period last year. Butane prices are reviewed every two months and last fell
in January. At the end of May, the Ministry for Ecological Transition will revise the prices again, taking into account the international price of raw materials, exchanges rates and marketing costs.

MORE TRAFFIC: Spain will allow more flights over its air space to ease congestion elsewhere.
Spain will take more flights SPAIN is set to take on between 150 and 160 more flights over its air space each day to ease congestion over France and Germany. Eurocontrol, the agency responsible for air safety in Europ e , sa i d t h e mo v e w ould h e l p p r e v e n t la rg e delays l i k e t h o se e x p e ri-

dia, Enaire - the body responsible for flights in Spain and Western Sahara - said: “If last year was bad, if we do nothing, this year will be almost collapse in technical terms, so each day 1,000 flights will be removed from the list which would have to fly over central Europe.”
THERE are shortages of 500 medicines including the second highest selling drug in Spain, according to the country’s medicines agency. The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) said the aspirin Adiro, which is often used by elderly people recovering from strokes, was currently experiencing supply problems. Around 18.5 million units of Adiro are sold in Spain every year, ac-
cording to industry data. The warning comes as shortages are affecting an estimated 500 medicinal brands sold in Spain. These include Terbasmin, Fluidasa, Primperan and Dalsy, with the shortages affecting around 1 per cent of the 30,000 brands sold in Spanish pharmacies according to government figures.
Atlantic snow A SPANISH journalist has published a book on how cocaine came to Europe via the Atlantic. The book, Snow on the Atlantic, shows how Galicia in north west Spain has always been an entrance point for cargo, attracting smugglers

TESTIFYING: The Supreme Court heard testimonies on police operations and protests in September 2017.
Catalan trial A GUARDIA CIVIL officer who took part in raids on Catalan officials’ homes prior to the 2017 independence referendum, told prosecutors an official ordered documents to be thrown away. The officer testified before the Supreme Court in the ongoing Catalan trial in Madrid on Tuesday. He told the court he went to the home of then Catalan treasury spokesperson Lluis Salvado during a police operation on September 20, 2017 which sparked protests from in-
dependence supporters. The officer, working with the judicial police at the time, said he intercepted a phone call from Salvado. “Go into the office take the stack of papers on the meeting table and throw them in the yard,” the officer alleged Salvado told his secretary. An abundance of documents, including ones labelled ‘War Scenario,’ were found in the home the officer added. “They were about the financial measures the Spanish gov-
ernment could take, and the actions Catalan authorities could take,” the officer said. Salvado was arrested later that day during a series of police swoops on Catalan officials as the region continued to prepare for the independence referendum on October 1. A total of 12 former Catalan officials and activists are standing trial on charges of sedition, rebellion and embezzlement in connection with the 2017 independence vote and declaration. The trial continues.

SINKING: The Grande America caught fire in the Bay of Biscay.
Fuel spillage clean-up SPANISH maritime authorities are working with their French counterparts to contain some 2,200 tons of fuel spilled after a ship sank in the Bay of Biscay following a fire. The Spanish government and Basque regional authorities have activated their maritime and environmental
emergency protocols. Boats from both countries have also been sent to the site of the sinking. Officials said the risk of the spill becoming worse is minimal, and that they have until next week to contain it. The Italian container ship Grande America sank about 330 kilometres off the
French city of La Rochelle on Wednesday March 13 after sailing from Hamburg in Germany for Morocco’s Casablanca. A fire which began the previous Sunday is thought to have caused the sinking. The British Royal Navy ship HMS Argyll rescued the 27 people on board.
Electric shock treatment SPAIN’S central government has halted an electric shock experiment on violent prisoners designed to stop aggression. The study, which had been taking place at Huelva Prison since 2016, was carried out on 41 inmates and saw their brains supplied with a 1.5 milliamp electric current for 15 minutes a day. Of the 41 inmates in the study, 18 were convicted murderers and researchers hoped to find out more about aggression and violent behaviour. The experiment’s second phase was due to begin this month, however Spain’s government said it wanted to look into the treatment more before granting permission. The research had been taking place in Spain, Germany and Mexico, and Andres Molero, one of the experiment’s researchers, claimed it was not invasive. He added all inmates had volunteered for the experiment and measures had been taken to rule out those with neurological diseases.
Majority of prisoners reformed NEARLY seven out of 10 Spanish prisoners are rehabilitated, according to new government figures. The Ministry of the Interior said the rate had reached 68.7 per cent, while reoffending was at 31.63 per cent. Overall, the number of prisoners in Spain has fallen by 16,986 since 2009 to 58,961. The ratio of inmates per thousand inhabitants in
Spain is 126, compared to 130.7 in September 2016. The country has the 10th highest ratio of prisoners per population out of the 28 European Union member states. The average sentence length in Spain is 18 months. The information was revealed following a request about prison population sizes by Miguel Gutierrez, deputy of the Ciudadanos party.

Gun licences rise THERE has been a surge in the number of licences for pistols and revolvers in Spain after several years of falls. The number of Type B licences issued in Spain was 8,459 in 2018, bucking the trend seen since 2013. In that year 8,864 were issued, with the numbers falling to 8,747 in 2014, 8,608 in 2015, 8,214 in 2016 and 7,846 in 2017. Senator Carles Mulet (Compromis), who obtained the figures, called the situation scandalous. This type of licence for personal weapons is issued by the Guardia Civil and is valid for three years. Nobody can possess more than one licence B and each one covers a single weapon.

The leader of the right wing PP says such a move would be “an outrage” and says that the only thing his party wants is to extend to the entire nation a measure that already works in the autonomous communities governed by the PP. He says this is to ensure immigrant women who already want to give their baby up for adoption can be confident their personal details will not be shared with other departments and used to enforce their deportation. It is not a move, he said, to ‘bribe’ women into put their newborns up for adoption, as has been painted in some reports. Casado added that the measure is designed to ensure unwanted babies are put up for adoption rather than abandoned by women fearful they could be deported. He also said that he is com-

Tourism spend call SPAIN needs to double the resources it puts into tourism if it wants to keep the sector growing in the face of a slowdown from the major markets like the UK and Germany. This is the message sent by major industry figure Gabriel Escarrer, president of the Exceltur pressure group and CEO of Melia hotels. He warned that investment has been stagnant for years at 0.25 per cent of GDP, when the sector provides more than 10 per cent of national wealth. That is why Exeltur has asked for more political and economic attention. While the sector was showing annual growth of up to 5 per cent in recent years, that figure dropped to 2 per cent in 2018, with this year forecast to see a rise of 1.7 per cent.

Cheeky tax paying: Deductible vs non-deductible expenses LESS than a week has passed since we learnt that Emilio Cuatrecasas, owner of the largest
fiscal advisory firm in Spain, just hired former deputy prime minister Soraya Saenz de Santa
Maria. In 2015, Mr Cuatrecasas pleaded guilty to eight counts of tax fraud in exchange for a rather lenient two-year suspended imprisonment conviction agreed with both the Prosecutor and the State Lawyer, the latter working on direct instructions of Mrs Saenz de Santa Maria, when the PP party was in power. What’s interesting of this case - besides the fairly obvious connection between Mr Cuatrecasas’ favourable Court ruling and the hiring of the instigator of such advantageous outcome is the nature of the tax fraud; deducting personal outlays as company expenses. In this case, it was done in a grand scale where, for example, servants hired for his personal residences or his privately-used yacht, electrical appliances, decoration, and generally maintenance of his personal assets, were all introduced in the company balance sheet as deductible

Spain is no different from any other country when it comes to tax deductible expenses. But what are they? Broadly speaking, they are those deemed helpful and appropriate for a business, as well as necessary and reasonable. More specifically, this is what the law says:
Deductible expenses Employees salaries and social security, rentals (office or part of a home used to work from) and associated expenses, equipment and supplies, repair and maintenance, stationery, external advisors, VAT (where it is not claimed) and uniforms not susceptible of private use, to name a few. Vehicles not exclusively used for business purposes will be deductible on pro-rata, with a maximum of 50 per cent (save
for cargo, transport and similarly used vehicles which will be 100 per cent). Travel expenses, meals (maximum of 1 per cent of turnover) or Christmas presents can be deducted if they are associated with business and this can be proven when required. Non-deductible expenses Director’s salaries, dividends, fines, services provided by people based in a tax haven, guard dogs, clothes (including lawyer’s suits), perfumes, beauty treatments, sunglasses or mobile phones (where it is not possible to show they are exclusively used for a business purpose), weddings, weekly ‘Mercadona’ shopping and many other non-expenses habitually picked up by tax inspectors. Finally, deductible expenses must be provable by means of regular or simplified invoices, as mere receipts are not valid.

to the British enclave. Gibraltar is on a UN list of non-self governing territories and this fact was referred to by the EU in a document on visa regulations in relation to Brexit. Borrell said Madrid would have to reach an agreement on the wording of the text eventually following talks with the EU Parliament and Commission. Madrid hopes the final draft of the text will be favourable to Spain, the Foreign Minister added. The European Parliament refused to approve the document, with Borrell claiming that was due in part to the current speaker being British. British prime minister Theresa May previously said Spain’s lobbying for the use of the term colony in reference to Gibraltar was ‘completely unacceptable.’ Spain has long-standing claims to sovereignty over Gibraltar. The territory was ceded to Britain under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.

Students on strike
Civil war martyrs NINE Spanish seminary students killed in the Spanish Civil War have been made martyrs by the Catholic church. Among the group is a 22year-old who was shot 11 times in the street, and a 21year-old stabbed after being imprisoned in a church. Archbishop Jesus Sanz Montes de Oviedo said: “They wanted to be priests, but God chose the altar of highest sacrifice for them in a Mass which does not end.” He added: “Spain’s Christian history tells a paradoxical story through the bodies of its martyrs - the joy of life which survives the agonising death of Christians killed in hatred of faith - victims of a terrible confusion, a crazed persecution, a repression in the name of freedom which killed freedom.” The group were all aged between 18 and 25 and were among the estimated 8,000 Catholic clergy killed in the Spanish conflict in the 1930’s.

VERA Council has installed a giant heart-shaped container in the entrance to the multiple uses centre in Plaza Mayor for donating plastic caps, which will be recycled to raise money for worthy causes. “This initiative came up due to the concerns of many local residents who want to collaborate with good causes but don’t know how,” explained Citizen Participation Councillor Francisca Garcia. “We thought this is one of the easiest ways, everyone is able to participate by donating plastic caps which we all use in our daily lives. What’s more, by recycling and making use of these plastic caps we are contributing to the care of our environment.” The container has been designed in the shape of a heart to match the municipal Vera, heart of the Levante logo, the creation of well-known designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, and to resemble a jigsaw puzzle to underline the message ‘you put the last piece.’

Driving them cuckoo R E S I D E N T S i n To r r e d e l M a r are complaining a Guinea fowl is driving them ‘crazy’ after making noise for the past week. Locals are now asking for help capturing the animal, which is not common in Spain but is increasingly being raised for meat. R e s i d e n t s o f C a l l e Va l d e peñas said the adult Guinea fowl has been making noise throughout the neighbourhood. One local, Miguel Angel Roman, told Spanish media: “It is a very annoying sound, we have been hearing it for a week, at different times and in different places, because it moves around both day and night.” He claimed residents had tried unsuccessfully to capture the bird, which is native to Africa, and are now asking for

Most Beniarres residents work in Muro, eight kilometres away, but the young tend to move away owing to the lack of opportunity. “We worry about that as much as the lack of services,” admitted Be-

More space in store… A POLICY of closing smaller stores in favour of large commercial centre premises has seen Zara grow its total sales floor area in Spain by 50 per cent in just five years. The average size of a Zara store has gone up from 1,452sqm to 2,184sqm in that period as smaller neighbourhood shops have been closed, with investment being put into flagship-style stores instead. This has meant the pace of net openings has slowed to a trickle - just 15 last year.

Pernod’s wine sale
High cost of subsidy changes THE then Spanish government’s decision to arbitrarily and retrospect i v e l y c h a n g e r e n e w a b l e e n e rg y subsidy regulations is getting more and more expensive. In a bid to tackle a mounting bill for subsidies generous allowances were slashed, almost crippling the industry overnight. This led to many companies pulling out of the sector - and plenty of them are demanding compensation for money spent on abandoned projects. Now US company Nextera Energy has won a case at Ciadi - the
By Dilip Kuner World Bank’s arbitration court - and is claiming €291 million in compensation from the Spanish government. The company had investments in two solar thermal plants in Extremadura with a capacity of 49.9 megawatts, where it had planned to invest more than €600 million. But the changes to already agreed subsidies made the schemes unprofitable so the group closed its subsidiary in Spain at a cost of €263 million.
The court decided that the government ‘failed to give fair and equitable treatment in the protection of business expectations to obtain a return on investment and development of plants.’ This is just one case that has been heard, with Spain facing another 31 arbitration actions. It recently lost a case brought by RREEF Infrastructure, with a compensation award being calculated at the moment. So far five cases have gone against the country, which has refused to pay. Instead it is seeking to have the cases annulled.
O N E o f S p a i n ’s b e s t k n o w n wine brands could be put up for sale by its French owners, Pernod Ricard SA. The company is considering the future of its wine division, which includes the Campo Viejo Label as well as Australia’s Jacobs Creek. The unit has annual sales of around $500 million but is a relatively low-growth part of P e r n o d , w h i c h i s t h e w o r l d ’s second largest distillery business. Company insiders say no final decision has yet been made.

Well paid CUTS: VW plant in Spain. GERMAN car giant Volkswagen, which has major factories in Spain, has announced it is to cut between 5,000 and 7,000 jobs to help fund a move to electric cars. VW brand’s chief operating officer Ralf Brandstaetter said the positions would go by 2023 as it chases cost savings. The plan is to cut staff by not replacing those who re-
tire over the period. Chief financial officer Arno Antlitz said. That the plan would help “finance our investments and satisfy our objectives for the electric era.” Across the whole group, Volkswagen will invest €44 billion into ‘future mobility’ such as electric cars and automatic driving in the next five years.

According to the company Spain will be the sixth most affected European country, with Cataluña and Valencia the most affected regions in the country, reported El Mundo Spanish newspaper.
The international consultancy firm based its calculations on damage to exports. In Europe Germany is the most affected country with an annual downturn in trade of €9.4 billion. It is followed by the Netherlands (€ 4.4 billion), Belgium and France (€ 3.9 billion each), with Italy slightly ahead of Spain at €2.6 billion.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT DID you honestly think that this bunch of privileged ‘Club Westminster’ layabouts actually cared about what you thought? Ha! The only thing this disgraceful array of arrogant Parliamentarians truly hold dear is who you vote for - not what. If this lot had existed in the days of Cromwell, most of them would by now either be in the Tower or having their necks stretched in the market square. I actually lost respect for our esteemed politicians many years ago, on discovering that people we all blindly placed on pedestals - should actually be standing in the dock! When I was young and fancy free, and doing the Chelsea and Kensington ‘rounds,’ the only parties that most of them cared about were those that catered for everything below the waistline. At one such soiree I clearly recall one of the honourable members coming up to me, sweating profusely from his ingestion of ‘uppers,’ clad in nothing but a string vest and begging me to take over his latest bedtime ‘romp,’ as he ‘couldn’t carry on any longer.’ The next day he was representing his London constituency at Prime Ministers questions! Even if those days of 60’s debauchery are now behind them, I have no delusions about our so-called government representatives. The only thing most of them represent is them-

They also can’t bear to think of their fellow cronies in the European old boys club continuing without them. These Westminster wasters are also extremely reticent to take on the challenges of the
worldwide markets. Something that would take them out of the comfort zones of Westminster clubland, get them off their Saville row and Gucci clad behinds and, heaven forbid, do some actual work. Blinded by their own arrogance, they also of course fail to realise that come the next elections, when they are all sidling around, begging
for your votes and pretending they are going to represent your interest, this recent utter betrayal and undisputable revelation of their true colours, will (hopefully) not be forgotten! Look out for a whole new party emerging out of the present chaos. But don’t hold yer breath. ‘New Labour’ was meant to be a whole fresh start, and look where they got us!’ I’m also extremely wary of the Lisbon treaty, a positively horrendous agreement to which all EU members, including the UK are already committed. Google it. It makes extremely disquieting reading, and its lurking just around yet another shadowy political corner. Good luck all. As a final word and in light of the recent horrendous massacre in New Zealand.

TECH FOR THE TIMID IT used to be said you were nobody if you didn’t have your own internet site. Now you haven’t made it if you don’t have a blog. Guilty as charged, m’lud. Though in fairness the typical blogger is considerably shorter in the tooth than this writer, has been known to back over a cliff when taking a selfie for a blogpost, and constantly posts pictures of today’s latest meal, perish the thought. Yet here’s the 2019 revelation: there are loads of bloggers out there earning a comfy €20,000 or more for every musing they post. That it’s a brave new world which the older among us don’t quite get, is illustrated by a simple statistic: the world’s leading bloggers earn more, infinitely more, than the world’s leading CEOs. How did that happen, and were we looking elsewhere when it did? For the less tech-savvy, ‘blog’ is a contraction of ‘web-log’: a regularly updated website or web
21 - 27 March 2019
Mind-boggling blogging Following the money - but Terence Kennedy isn’t there (yet)…
page, typically one run by an individual or small group, written in an informal or conversational style. Sort of like a newspaper column, except bloggers can earn thousands per blog while this one might just buy breakfast. Blogging evolved in the 1990’s from postings on the early bulletin boards and forums. Written originally in the style of online diaries, the (advertising) income
generated by the most popular of them can now be breathtaking. A year or so ago the Huffington Post blog was pulling in more than €12 million a month, TechCrunch €2.5 million and poor old Perez Hilton a mere €500,000. At the bottom of the scale, Englishman Gerard Fletcher blogged regularly in mindnumbing detail about the buses on his local route. To his surprise and
probably everyone else’s, his blog got 500 followers. Even cats are in on the act. Internet star Grumpy Cat from Arizona has more than 13 million followers and was worth an estimated €88 million last time I looked. That’s a lot of Whiskas. Strike the right chord with your blog and you could graduate to becoming an ‘influencer’ - someone whose ‘followers’ will rush out to buy virtually any product you are paid to promote. Get 30,000 followers and agencies will pay you up to €1,000 per post to push, say, a beauty product. When TV reality star Kylie Jenner endorses cosmetics she trousers over €1 million. A week. Which all makes those of us still plugging away doggedly in print simply wonder if, like the sweet young thing who said sex was a pain in the neck, the response is: ‘You’re doing it wrong.’

It’s a blog’s life WHY wouldn’t you start your own blog? The barriers are easier than getting into print: none. All you need is a computer, free software and something to say. Though that’s optional, judging by the vacuous quality of so many blogs out there. WordPress is by far the world’s most-used and free website creation tool, with nearly 100-million users, but Blogger and semi-social-network Tumblr are hugely popular. All offer free ‘hosting’ (the technical infrastructure needed to get and keep your words of wisdom online), but serious bloggers will pay for their own domains. Then just write your heart out, press Publish, and wait for the response. Or not - given that there are ‘only’ an estimated 80 million new blogs posted every month. Perhaps don’t hold your breath.

WE’VE all heard the phrase ‘Let them eat cake,’ coined allegedly by Marie Antoinette before the French Revolution. Well, apparently, she didn’t! Indeed, she was quite generous to charitable causes, intelligent and wouldn’t have said something so inflammatory. Which made me wonder which other sayings simply don’t stand up to scrutiny… ‘Ne’er cast a clout till May be out.’ In other words, don’t break out the barbie until Theresa May’s got her deal? This May, next May, May 2030? Murphy’s Law (‘if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong and at the worst possible moment’) is also way off the mark. For instance, ripping off a shirt button or breaking a shoelace when in a rush is probably down to the extra stress you’re under. Likewise: ‘Healthy as a horse.’
21 - 27 March 2019
Myths, rumours and some very tall tales Any horse owner will tell you that a horse is like an Italian sports car. If it can break down, it will. ‘Lightning never strikes in the same place twice.’ Rubbish! Lightning strikes repeatedly wherever the surface offers points of conductivity - and where the conditions produce lots of thunderstorms. ‘Cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis.’ Most medical studies have found no link whatsoever between this annoying habit and arthritis. The cracking sound isn’t bones being mangled out of

shape, but the release of pockets of gas from between joints. However, long periods of knuckle-cracking may contribute to lesser grip strength. So best pack it in! Basically, these sayings are straight out of the ‘I saw you coming’ school of coffee table books and not meant to be taken literally. A bit like those nightmares in which you’re about to sit an exam but can’t because you’re astride a horse naked except for wellies... Or you’re about to plunge over a cliff edge into an abyss. Help! Are we back to ‘Ne’er cast a clout till (Theresa) May IS out’?

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he change the system? Two years ago, I purchased an apartment in Mallorca. I have now discovered that my small single bedroom apartment is being charged community fees at the same amount as a large three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. I have checked my deeds and they clearly say I pay community fees per square metre. The administrator tells me that all apartments must pay equal community fees whether they are one-bedroom or a four-bedroom penthouse. He says that, in order to change this, all owners must unanimously agree. This cannot be right. My title deed says my community fee is based on my square metres. I have ceased payments in protest. E W (Baleares)
Standardly, community fees are David Searl charged according to the You and the Law size of the flat, just as it in Spain says in your title deed. A very few communities have voted to charge all units the same and this is legal, as your administrator says. However, the system is clearly unfair to you. One owner who feels his interests are harmed can go to court and ask the judge to order the system changed. The stoppage of payment will not help.

The future of our planet By David Worboys WE live in dangerous times. There are two massive challenges to the future of our planet; the preservation of the environment, and the survival of humanity. The self-inflicted damage perpetrated by Earth’s inhabitants has never reached this level before. Most disasters are man-made. These include war, subjugation, deprivation and persecution, to which we must now add cyber warfare, terrorism, and... the future of procreation. Likewise, many natural disasters are the result of human negligence, resulting in climate change. The question is which will come first? Will it be the destruction of our planet or of humanity itself? The ultimate long-term danger could be the extinction of our species through confusion over sex. Today, every species can be identified as either male or female; with the sole exception of humans.
FUTURE: Ever-changing planet. Since I was in my teens, there have been a number of significant and welcome reforms in attitudes towards sex and ‘minorities.’ From the 50’s to the present, fundamental changes in attitudes include the Wolfenden Report, Germaine Greer, the use of ‘Ms’ (for Miss/Mrs), Elton John and now transgender. Since the 60’s, millions of men, young and middle-aged, have be-
come more feminine and women more masculine in mannerisms, activity and appearance. Until recently such men were content to wear women’s style of clothing, jewellery, make-up and hairstyles, while many women started adopting men’s hats and suits and ‘short back and sides’ haircuts. They have now started to experiment with their minds and bodies.
The result is an ever-increasing number of humans whose sex is uncertain. Will the sexes be largely indistinguishable in 100 years from now? It is widely reported that young people are less interested in sex than their parents were, before the revolution in mobile gadgetry and the obsession with social media. It may seem far-fetched to imagine our planet populated by humans
whose gender is unclear. In 2019 almost every human is clearly male or female. However, changes can accelerate once they gain momentum, and in 100 years a fundamentally different way of life can evolve. Only a few years ago people in the western world mocked concepts such as yoga, veganism, spiritual awareness and self-healing. Thirty years ago, the ideas of smart-phones, robots, driverless cars or a man and his husband as parents of children were inconceivable. One hundred years ago in 1919, intensive farming was unheard of, and the fastest means of human travel was on horseback at less than 50km/hr. Just 50 years later, the crew of Apollo 11 travelled at about 40,000km/hr to the moon, and billions of animals are subjected to unimaginable cruelty. Such radical changes can occur within 100 years. Surely then, it is not mere fantasy that the planet’s population will by the year 2119, be divided into more than one gender.

It just doesn’t feel right Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man THIS week has been pretty weird and it’s got me very worried. It started innocently enough when I called Vodafone and, surprise, surprise they couldn’t give me the information I was asking for because their computer system was down. But then, about 20 minutes later, they called me back with all the information I had requested. They were really nice and very helpful. This is unheard of! The next day I had to go to a big DIY store that did some renovation work for us recently. I was ready, primed and prepped for the confrontation I was sure was about to happen - but no, they were fantastic. Really helpful and very accommodating - sorted out the things I had concerns about and it was all very quick and easy - I’d allocated a morning for something that ended up taking half an hour. I haven’t had one wobbly table whenever we’ve eaten out and even the motorbike owner, who was parked so he was encroaching on the disabled bay I was parked
in, apologised profusely when I confronted him to explain how difficult his parking there made it for me to get my wheelchair in and out of my car. He even thanked me for pointing this out to him and promised that in future he would be more considerate! By now I was in uncharted territory - I hadn’t felt grumpy in days. I felt like it was a conspiracy - where were all the annoyingly stupid people? Has someone put something in the water? Am I mellowing as I approach a major birthday this year? The sun is shining, I’m off to Gibraltar to enjoy a few days of snooker and my daughter surprised us by announcing she will be visiting for a few days. Even my troublesome neighbour has been keeping out of my way! Mrs S even asked me if I felt alright as ‘I didn’t seem myself.’ Drivers have let me out instead of pushing their way in front of me, cyclists have been in single file and nobody has jumped onto a single zebra crossing from behind a parked vehicle all week! I have no idea what’s going on but I don’t like it – it just doesn’t feel right! Hopefully I’ll be back to my old self very soon and feeling right as rain or, at the very least as grumpy as usual, because I’m really struggling with all these new feelings.

Behind THE MUSIC V L James | vljcomms@gmail.com | Facebook: @vljamesinfo I’M not sure if it’s because there are not many great new albums around at the moment or if it is because there is a real appetite for nostalgia, but Coventry’s original Two Tone sensations have hit the No 1 spot in the album charts again… nearly 40 years after they last hit the No 1 spot with their brilliant album Encore. Since the band’s reunion tour in 2009 (the 30th anniversary of Too Much Too Young hitting No 1), fans old and new have been entertained by regular tours. Being the band they are, they were never going to record again unless they thought they had something to say, something relevant to what’s going on today.

An interest in technology is not something new to you. What is great, though, is that the penny has suddenly dropped. This week sees you understanding more and wanting to know more. This is good for both your work and social life.
An urge to get moving must mean that spring is round the corner. Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind. At what seems to be an unsettled time, decisions need to be made and worked towards.

Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you. When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives. Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially. It may not be the time to make a particular move, although others think that it is. There's no problem with discussing things and talking them through. Keep up your healthy habits because you need lots of energy, especially at the weekend.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but
EL MILLON: PTK34932

try to shuffle them to the weekend. Be diplomatic or someone close could become irritated. Keep an eye on the small print because something fundamental may have changed in a long-standing arrangement. Suddenly, at the weekend, you are thrust into the limelight.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be aware that leopards do not change their spots, they merely hide them. Those who demand your trust need a cool checking out and don't be afraid to say 'no' as and when necessary. Finances are well aspected this week with a new idea proving both worthwhile in terms of your time and profitable.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise soon sorts things out. You don't like playing the 'bad guy', but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing. A meeting at the weekend is both confusing and disarming.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention. Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction. Some feelings of loneliness will not be assuaged by working more. Perhaps it is time to consider taking on a pet or giving a current pet more attention.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Sometimes, you find it hard to do things just for the pure enjoyment of it. Realise that not everything has to have a purpose or a profit. Look round this week and seek out something that will please your senses and bring a smile to your lips. Make this a week when you live for the moment and give full rein to your imagination.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Contact with a less than ideal situation makes you realise just how lucky you are. It has been clear that the weeks are changeable and your situation at the moment far from settled. Pity those whose day-to-day life is completely predictable. As someone who values an element of challenge, it is enjoyable to know that unexpected times are ahead.

WYOMING game warden Joe Pickett encounters bad behaviour on his own turf only to have the FBI and the DOJ ask him to stand down in the latest novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author C J Box. Pickett has his job back, after his last adventure in The Disappeared, but the bad news is that he’s discovered a drone is killing wildlife. And the drone belongs to a mysterious and wealthy man whose son is dating Pickett’s daughter, Lucy. When he tries to lay down the rules for the drone operator, he’s asked by the FBI and the DOJ to stand down, which only makes him more suspicious. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up in and around Pickett’s district in shocking numbers. He begins to fear that a pack of four vicious killers working on behalf of the Sinaloa cartel known as the Wolf Pack has arrived. Their target seems to be the mystery man and everyone - including Pickett - who is associated with him.

Brexit driven?
WE received a letter from Hacienda which we understood but couldn’t grasp what was wrong with our 2017 tax return, so we took it to our Spanish tax advisor. They are looking into it for us but as far as we are concerned all of our affairs are transparent and above the radar. The worrying thing about this is that our Advisors office has a large multi-national client base, but have 30 such letters to investigate and without exception all were received by British clients. The numbers are also unprecedented. They are aware of German, Belgian and French who use the in-house lawyer who have never submitted a tax return whether resident or non-resident. Regardless of status, no other nationality has contacted them in connection with a similar letter. The conversation made us think of the visit to our local post office to collect this letter which was one of a significant pile of identical envelopes. Our village is small and has a number of British expat residents. From the size of the envelope pile we suspect most if not all have a letter from the Hacienda waiting for them. We cannot avoid the conclusion that Brits are being targeted. Even our Advisors office has said they feel it is Brexit driven. It would be interesting to know just how many Brits are affected. Please withhold my name if printed. Name supplied
Driver warning I JUST wanted to warn you of the latest scam aimed at drivers, especially if female and driving alone. An elderly friend was stationary and just about to pull out onto Mijas road. A car came along, stopped and one of its three occupants got out and pointed to her front tyre. She got out to look and very quickly another man took her handbag from her car. She was very shocked. It was a white car with three occupants. Please take care and stop for nobody. Name supplied
Drought doubt I READ with interest ‘Irrigation guarantees’ in last week’s Axarquia edition. I understand that occasional water shortages and interrupted services are to be expected when we live in a hot, arid climate, but the drought problems in La Viñuela seem to get worse every year. It was only the heavy rainfall last spring and autumn which seemed to prevent a serious problem and I very much hope the Junta de Andalucia agree to the meetings mentioned in the article to discuss solutions.

OUR VIEW
Teaching a lesson THOUSANDS of school pupils in Spain, Britain and across the world walked out of their classrooms on Friday to teach adults a lesson about our planet. The students were taking part in school strikes for climate change in walkouts dubbed Fridays for Future. Their efforts were inspired by 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. She is up for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for her role as fountainhead of the movement. The activists’ message is clear: why should we go to school to prepare for a future that looks likely to be seriously jeopardised by climate change caused by adults? The pupils are overwhelmingly backed by scientific evidence which has shown for years that inaction on climate change spells global catastrophe. Their questioning of whether it is worth studying for a future which will see mass extinctions, catastrophic weather and rising sea levels if nothing is done is entirely reasonable. Not only is their cause sound, but the pupils are reclaiming a spirit of activism, hope and idealism that often gets smothered by adult conservatism, cynicism and apathy. This saying attributed to Native American Chief Seattle seems appropriate: ‘We do not inherit the world from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.’ As Thunberg herself said, if adults really claim to love their children more than anything why would they allow their tomorrow to be destroyed for today’s corporate greed?
Now we want to hear your views.

Bloody fight breaks out on Ryanair flight Ryanair have such a fast turnaround for their aircraft that the gate staff cannot possibly check passengers to see if they are fit to fly or if they have had too much alcohol. It’s time the CAA stepped in to penalise airlines who allow drunken passengers to board aircraft. John McLean I wonder if any alcohol was involved?
Angus It is time airlines formed up and banned these idiots from all flights - everywhere - forever. PM Funny. The only issue we have had in North America with alcohol and planes was a British passenger last year. Don’t think it is the alcohol that is the problem. Rhea Rouw Horrendous, the airlines are suffering from their greed of money, when will they realise that alcohol and flying don’t go together? No wonder our countrymen have such a bad name abroad, bet Europe will be glad to get rid of us. Gill Reynolds

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE conditions of their animals? The hooves were supposed to be checked by a vet periodically, but the state of their hooves means probably the vet hasn’t been paid for the last visits and has stopped coming. I have lived outside the village for 15 years and other than a shaded area nothing has changed and I’m ashamed to say it, nothing will. People stop riding the donkeys and horses, stop paying money because you are the ones that can stop this cruelty, not us who live here because they don’t want to listen to us and even intimidate people that protest. ONLY YOU CAN STOP THE ABUSE! Julie Packwood We last visited Mijas several years ago and have not returned after we were so shocked and upset at the disgusting treatment of the poor donkeys. Having read some months ago action was at last being taken to improve their lot, we booked a holiday near Mijas Pueblo for July this year. Please, please keep the pressure up to help these poor animals. Ideally, the whole wretched business would stop, but we realise that people’s livelihoods are at stake, so at least persuade the owners to show some compassion and treat their donkeys in a responsible way. As for the tourists, they must bear some responsibility; there is absolutely no need to use donkeys to see the beautiful village, maybe they could be kept just for a novelty ride for small children.

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com TECHNOLOGY is a wonderful thing, the investigations that we can do now to find out what is really going on inside the body are amazing. But is the medical profession too reliant on them? As patients, do they help us get better treatment? If you have a pain in a joint or your spine, getting the right image can help get an accurate diagnosis. BUT medical professionals must be careful not to rely on them exclusively, as they only tell a small part of the story. The big picture Let’s say you come in with pain in your right knee and all the doctor does is look at an MRI of your right knee and sees some joint changes.

By not examining the rest of you connected to your knee, perhaps they missed the previous Achilles Tendon problem in your left foot, causing you to limp and put more weight on your right knee. Perhaps they missed the right hip pain that’s changing how you walk and causing your right knee to take the strain. It is critical to review the entire body. You can get the best picture in the world of one small part, but miss something that wasn’t in that spotlight. If you only treat that one small section, ignoring the connections with the rest of the body - is it any surprise you don’t get better? You have might have completely ignored the real

with long term, chronic pain who have been told there’s ‘nothing on the scan.’ And are therefore dismissed as ‘imagining it.’ Strangely, that doesn’t
make their pain any less real or painful. It also doesn’t make a solution any less possible, it just requires a more detailed look at the person. Scary pictures A recent study of 5,397 knee MRIs found in patients over 40 years old with NO pain or injury 50 per cent had ‘changes’ reported on their MRI. That’s cartilage lesions, Meniscal tears, bone bruises, bone spurs... in people with NO pain. So if these things are there more than 50 per cent of the time anyway are they really relevant when we get pain? And are they truly enough to justify risky, expensive surgery?

AS the warm weather sets in many of us may begin to think about baring our skin in the sun. While the current tropical climes open up early opportunities for swimming, hiking and sunbathing, exposing our skin for the first time after a winter of covering up can turn our thoughts to defuzzing. Luckily, it is quicker, easier and safer than ever to get rid of unwanted hair for both men and women using convenient new tools. First up is the innovative Sphynx (€16.55, www.sepho ra.es) which offers a one-stopshop for all depilatory needs, providing a razor, soap, and water in one product. This cir-
cular three-in-one tool can be adjusted to offer a razor head, a small spray bottle of water, and a solid bar of shaving soap and moisturiser. Travel-friendly and ideal for saving space in suitcases or shaving on the go, the Sphynx is available in teal, pink, berry, and black; great for both men and women. Another new concept for those who prefer to make their hair removal as convenient as possible is the in-shower hair removal cream, such as Veet’s Crema Depilatoria de Ducha (currently €6.57 for 150ml, www.mirafarma.es). Applied before stepping into the shower, this cream allows you to carry

Four sensational 2019 events in Spain WHILE Spain is synonymous with the three ‘S’s; sun, sea and sand, this culture-filled destination has so much more to offer. Wanting to escape the typical Spanish Costa? Look no further, here is a list of 2019 events you may have never of heard of. • Semana Santa or ‘Holy Week’ The Semana Santa is the annual Christian commemoration of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Not religious? Not a problem, the Spanish Semana Santa is an event which can be experienced and enjoyed by all. Its spectacular processions and celebrations full of passion and emotion should not be missed. Churches and centuries-old brotherhoods prepare months in advance, where dozens of men and women march through Spanish streets carrying the patron saint of their church and thousands of candles. Although for some, the Spanish Holy week may seem a little strange and even ‘spooky’ at times, thousands of families and tourists gather to

PROCESSION: Semana Santa. watch these unforgettable processions. The most important days of Semana Santa are ‘Jueves Santo’ and ‘Viernes Santo’ (Good Friday). The processions are carried out across Spain, but the most impressive events are celebrated in Malaga and Sevilla. The Spanish Holy Week this year will start on Sunday, April 14 and finish on Sunday, April 21. • Sevilla’s Feria Want a taste of typical Spanish culture? Then Sevilla’s Feria is the per-
Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
THE central portion of the Partido Popular is cheesed off with Pablo Casado’s decision to lurch further to the Right to entice back defectors who have listened to Vox’s siren song. The central portion of Ciudadanos - theoretically most of the party - is cheesed off with Albert Rivera’s lurch to the Right and his acceptance of Vox in Andalucia while vetoing the PSOE. And the PSOE? The PSOE needs to woo everyone, and not only the diehards who have always voted PSOE regardless. Above all it needs to woo back the PSOE’s once-considerable support from the Centre. Pedro Sanchez, the Moncloa’s current tenant, is more beloved by the card-carrying militants who twice gave him the primaries than the territorial barons who gave him the bird. But the Centre - the PSOE’s and everyone else’s - is there for Sanchez to mop up and it is the Centre, especially the undecided Centre, which decides elections. Theirs are the votes all parties need and Casado and Rivera ignore them at their peril because they will push them into Sanchez’s arms.
Black joke THE irony of it! Not long ago, Spain was proclaimed as the healthiest country in the
fect event. The six-day fair is located near the Guadalquivir River where rows of casetas (decorated marquee tents) are set up to host crowds of dancing sevillanas, drinking the typical ‘rebujito’ and eating tapas. The Sevilla Feria, celebrated in Andalucia’s capital, will take place on May 4 and it is set to finish on May 11 of this year. • San Juan Although many may have already heard of the night of San Juan, it could not be left off the list of top events.
San Juan celebrates the birth of San Juan Bautista, but for most it is just another opportunity to celebrate the start of summer with hundreds of lights and bonfires which ‘burn’ out all negative thoughts and vibrations at midnight. Get to the nearest beach on Sunday, June 23. • La Tomatina The list of top 2019 events in Spain has to include a weird and wacky festival, and this is it. For more than 70 years, Buñol, a small Valencian town, has celebrated a festive ‘tomato fight’ where (for entertainment purposes only) thousands of people get involved and splatter each other with tomatoes. This fun and refreshing event, like
SAN JUAN: Burn the negative thoughts. no other, has been limited to 20,000 people and tickets should be purchased in advance of ‘La Tomatina’ on August 28.
Centring on the Centre Yes me no yesses THE PDeCat’s (Catalan independence party) National Committee recently met to decide its election strategy. This entails making life as difficult as possible for everyone concerned, including those in their own party who want nonconflictive independence and some kind of understanding with the other parties. Its list of candidates for the General Election on April 28 underline Carles Puigdemont’s rejection of dialogue and his decision to go all out for conflict. As someone once said of GW Bush in the run-up to the Iraq invasion, he’s not going to take yes for an answer.

world, thanks mainly to virgin extra olive oil and its 85.8 year average life expectancy, according to a Forbes.com online report.
Then, an OECD survey goes and finds that only 6.4 per cent of the Spanish are happy with their lives, compared with the Finns who top the list.
Spain is credited as the cradle of black humour and what else could you expect in a country where the population is condemned to live longer than everyone else and be bloody miserable at the same time.
Cup runneth out ANTI-SYSTEM party CUP announced that it will not present candidates in next month’s election. This is not a priority CUP, said party spokeswoman Mireia Boya: “The necessary conditions do not exist to present a groundbreaking and transforming candidature in Madrid.” It’s tempting to respond with ‘chicken!’ because CUP held PDeCat to ransom when its votes were needed to install Artur Mas as regional president in 2016. Mas’s head its price and PDeCat could come up with no-one better than Girona’s mayor, Carles Puigdemont. CUP had as much to do with pushing the Procesas PDeCat, ERC or the pro-independence organisations Omnium and ANC. The party has a great deal to answer for, because it foisted Carles Puigdemont on not only Cataluña, but the rest of Spain, too.

AN open air touring exhibition on the theme of Ice Age is now free to view at the Commonwealth Park in Gibraltar until the end of May before transferring to Belgium. The Ice Age is one of the most fascinating periods in early human history. The foundations of our culture today were established
during more than two million years of Ice Age history; its relicts are among the key testimonies of our cultural heritage and of human development. Today the network represents 20 archaeological sites, research institutions and their affiliated museums or visitor centres across eight European countries.

From then until now The exhibition presents large format photographs of fascinating finds, extraordinary objects and surprising connections between past and present from over 15 selected locations across Europe including Gorham’s Cave, a UNESCO Heritage Site.

St Patrick’s comes to Spain by Euro Weekly News editorial team across the regions THE Euro Weekly News team spent Sunday at some of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations and probably the country’s biggest parade in celebration of St Patrick’s Day. On the Costa Del Sol, the festivities started with a service in honour of St Patrick at the Inmaculada de Concepcion Church in Arroyo de la Miel. The ceremony was followed by live Irish music and other activities carried out at the Mezquita Square. In La Cala de Mijas revellers spent the day enjoying multiple themed performances and activities carried out by the local town hall/tourist office and Irish pub Biddy Mulligans. And Marbella’s Paseo Maritimo hosted a festival of live music, including Spanish bands. Tom’s Irish Bar in Los Boliches put on free food and a singer for the evening. And music group White Lamb performed live at La Teteria Hierbabuena in Malaga. Meanwhile, in Costa Blanca, Cabo Roig hosted what is possibly Spain’s biggest St Patrick’s Day parade, a truly spectacular visual display. And in Benidorm, the New Town was awash with colour as crowds dressed up and enjoyed an array of music and activities, courtesy of local bars. The Emerald Isle, La

THE ‘Van Gogh Alive - The Experience’ exhibition has taken the world by storm and the reception in Malaga has been no different. After premiering in Spain in Sevilla in the early part of last year, it moved to Alicante in September where it exceeded all visitor expectations. It then moved on to Madrid and has now arrived in Malaga. Among those fascinated by the experience have b e e n a r o u n d p u p ils fro m s c h o o ls across the Andalucia who have been brought closer to the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh in the format they understand most... multimedia. Van Gogh Alive - The Experience is no ordinary art exhibition and it’s that which has en h a n c e d i t s p o p u la rity, e s p ec ia lly among the younger visitors. It uses the most modern multimedia techniques to provide an unforgettable experience for the senses that combines music, light and more than 3,000 moving images that surround the visitor and let them live the art in a unique way. The painter ’s work comes to life on the large walls and across the floor of the exhibition centre in an intense mix of sensations that perfectly demonstrate the character and personality of the Dutch genius.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks a meat dish using chocolate from a local chocolate factory in Mijas.
Willy Wonker Land! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com EVERYBODY loves chocolate and when I first introduced chocolate into a savoury dish on my menus some 20 years ago people were surprised and looked upon it as a bit weird. The guy in the hat has chocolate sauce on his meat, they would say! But cocoa or chocolate has been used for hundreds of years for savoury dishes especially in Mexico where their national dish Mole (pronounced MolLay) was created early 1800’s using chocolate to soften, thicken and flavour the sauce. I have often included a little bit of high cocoa chocolate with low sugar into a sauce to go with venison or game and clients love the texture and depth of flavour that it adds to a reduced meat stock making it super
smooth. Recently one of my clients was raving about my venison dish served with chocolate jus at The Geranium and as I was discussing it with him, I realised who he was. It was the man I call Willy Wonker from Mayan Monkey Mijas in Mijas pueblo, Jason Godwin. Come and see me at the factory in Mijas, Jason said. We went the following week and when we arrived in Mijas pueblo it was easy to find in the main square of this lovely little pueblo. Jason greeted us and showed us around his factory with gushing enthusiasm for his chocolate sourced by using ethical means. In other words, ethical chocolate does not use child slaves to harvest the beans and the cocoa farms are sustainable usually from places like Peru and Venezuela. We don’t buy from the Ivory coast he said with pride, it costs a lot more this way, but we don’t care it is nice to sleep at night knowing that we are creating jobs rather than helping to create child slavery! Children from local schools queued for the express workshop experience
CHOCOLATE FACTORY: With the man I call Willy Wonker. where they get to take a tour and then make their own chocolate bars and take them home afterwards, although other workshops are available like the wine tasting with chocolate workshop, which appeals to me! Jason showed us how the cocoa bean grinder worked and how to make chocolate from the bean to the bar so
to speak. Mayan Monkey also make ice cream using organic milk, cream and chocolate of course! What’s really fantastic about Jason and his wife Eli is their dedication to quality and to education. Jason is always enthusiastically explaining to guests how the cocoa grinder or the roaster works or showing clients how they make the packag-
ing using the historic Heidelberg printing press (Heidi) from the late1800’s. It’s a fantastic experience, an education and a great day out. Enjoy coffee at their cafés after the tour and there are loads of traditional tapas restaurants in Mijas. A real treat for the kids! I recall when my girls were young, we had a chocolate truffle thief in the Pink Geranium restaurant. Rod Stewart loves chocolate and had been in the night before and stayed late drinking, talking about football and we were missing a whole tray of chocolate truffles afterwards (about 60 pieces). Staff commented on how awful it was that someone of his status would do that and they were discussing it. As they discussed, I could see the face of my five-year-old daughter Serena was bright red. Serena did you take the truffles? I asked. I didn’t steal them dad, she said, I just borrowed them. So, when are you planning to return them? I asked her. When you show me how to make them, she said crying. I did show her a few years later, but I am still waiting for them to be returned!
Saddle of Toledo Venison with chocolate infused sauce MAKING restaurant style Venison Jus Ingredients About 2kg venison bones, chopped (get your butcher to do this) 4 leaves of gelatin optional or a little cornflour. 1 onion chopped 2 carrots chopped 1 leek chopped 2 sticks celery chopped 2 bay leaves 2 sprigs fresh thyme Small bunch parsley 3 litres of cold water 1 tsp peppercorns 1 bottle of red wine 2 tablespoons of honey 50g of dark chocolate to finish Method 1. Roast the venison bones until golden brown in a pre-heated oven 200ºC and then remove and drizzle with the honey and deglaze the pan with half of the red wine (pour it in).
2. Put the bones and everything else into a large saucepan and cover with three litres of cold water. If using gelatine leaves then now is the time to add them. Bring it all slowly to the boil, then simmer and cook for two/three hrs or until the liquid reduces by twothirds to around one litre. 3. Strain into a smaller clean saucepan. 4. Now add the other half bottle of red wine and reduce vigorously by half until the sauce is thick and coating consistency.
VENISON: Served with chocolate sauce. the sauce see below.
5. The stock can be made ahead and chilled or frozen for up to one month. 6. Reserve the chocolate to finish
Cooking the Venison • For this recipe you will need approx 200g of meat per portion Ingredients for 2 • 400g of lean venison saddle • 1 sprig of thyme or rosemary • 50g of unsalted butter • 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil • 1 clove garlic peeled and crushed • Fresh milled black pepper • Maldon salt Method • Heat a non-stick frying pan
and add the olive oil and then the butter, keep the pan on a moderate heat. • Season the venison with salt and pepper and add to the pan to seal all over. Add the garlic and thyme at this point. • Baste and turn the venison fillets until evenly coloured. • Remove from heat and retain cooking juices from the pan. • When ready to serve simply roast the venison in a hot oven 200ºC and use the cooking juices above to help keep it moist. • Cook for approx four minutes and then remove and rest for about five minutes. • Whilst resting take some of the reduced stock above and reduce even more on a very high heat. • Add the chocolate and whisk in until the sauce is thick and smooth, taste and season. • Slice the rested venison steaks in halves and serve with spinach or local asparagus and a little of the sauce.

Marbella Moments by Nicole King I MUST have driven around with a ‘Home Deutsch’ cd in my car for three years, but neither I, nor my children who were also subjected to the many repetitions to and from school and the stables, learnt any German. To date I still rely on my ‘trade fair’ vocabulary to get by; getting a glass of still water, wine, potato salad or mustard for my frankfurter is still a challenge to master. It was only this week that I wish I had tried a bit harder with the language as now, instead of for business, there’s a book I’d like to read but so far, it’s only being published in German!!! The title is Der Unter Grund and it’s written by one of my guests on next week’s Marbella Now TV, Cordula Hamann. Cordula was born in Berlin and has been a professional writer since 2007, with 10 books published to date. Her latest contribution tackles a subject which most of us have never heard of, the sand trade; as
Barry Duke IT was one of those conversations which started out well enough, but suddenly went totally screwy. The fella I was chatting to in a Benidorm bar noted my vaping machine had a time and date display, and I jokingly suggested the next version of the mod, as it’s called, will likely incorporate an MP3 player and a smartphone, and will wake me up each morning with a cup of coffee and a warm buttered croissant. The conversation moved on to the astonishing number of technological advances which have been made over the past 50 years, and oh, how we laughed over the fact that things like Bakelite dial phones and cassette tapes leave today’s youngsters utterly befuddled. ‘Ah,’ he asked, ‘but where does all this amazing new technology spring from?’ I suggested it was obviously all down to very clever geezers. He disagreed, saying he firmly believed some extraterrestrial force was at play. That’s when alarm bells began sounding. They rose to a deafening clamour when he suddenly moved onto the subject of evolution. He was

Eskimos and Africans, Indians and Asians, he asserted, owe their variations to the creation of separate DNA. This is pure hogwash, and harks back to a mad theory proposed by an American scientist, Samuel Morton,
who, in the first half of the 19th century, convinced many that humans could be divided into five races, and each represented separate acts of creation. Racists gleefully embraced this baloney which ‘proved’ that Whites, or ‘Caucasians,’ were the most intelligent of the races, and Blacks, or ‘Ethiopians,’ were at the bottom of his intelli-
gence scale. Not surprisingly Morton became known as the ‘father of scientific racism.’ An indisputable fact is that there is only one human species - Homo sapiens - and that we evolved in Africa and developed different characteristics when we spread to different parts of the globe.

Our beaches are under serious threat and not just from the elements, so unless action is taken and awareness levels raised, the problem will only get worse. Hence Cordula’s decision to address the issues, but by disguising the facts and cleverly weaving them into another thriller! A work of fiction which tells many truths about this black market for sand, making for an equally informative and enthralling read. So, wenn du deutsch sprichst, check out this book; it really does sound like a compelling read!

Seeing how sceptical I was by his views on separate races, he threw in ‘ah, but what about the pyramids?’ This was a terrible blunder because just a week before I was reading about pyramids and the large number of people who believe they could only have been built by aliens. Why? Because the Egyptians back in 2500 BCE were ‘too stupid’ to have erected them. One debunker of the alien theory pointed out that before the pyramids were erected, the Egyptians had developed agriculture, writing, astronomy, mathematics, metal working, sophisticated artwork, monumental stone architecture and a host of other things. The researcher added: “When you really learn enough about them, it’s not difficult at all to imagine that the Egyptians were capable of such architectural sophistication. They had a certain expertise in stone working which we lack today. “By the time of the pyramids, a corps of craftsmen had been developing their quarrying and building skills since the Early Dynastic Period. We have evidence to support the Egyptians’ responsibility for all the construction stages of the pyramids.’ When it appeared likely my newfounding drinking mate would start in on alien abductions and anal probes, I swallowed my Scotch in a single gulp, grabbed my coat and scarpered.

AS2 readies for take-off
Rich Pick
Freelance correspondent, London, England
AS the last supersonic age closed with the final abandonment of the Aerospatiale Concorde in 2003, Texas billionaire Robert Bass was ready to step forward and commence an effort to resume supersonic transport for the private individual. The company he founded and funded is named Aerion Supersonic and is headquartered in Reno, Nevada, USA. The company was founded in 2003 to develop new and efficient aerodynamic technologies for supersonic flight. Aerion revealed its AS2 12-passenger business jet design in 2014. After many twists and turns this amazing story is advancing towards its climax with the announcement in October 2018 that Aerion and GE Aviation had unveiled the GE Affinity TM engine, the first supersonic engine in more than 50 years. Then in February 2019 Boeing and Aerion Supersonic announced a partnership. As part of this partnership Boeing made a significant investment in Aerion to accelerate technology development and aircraft design, and ‘unlock supersonic travel for new markets.’ Flying at 1,610 kilometres per hour, the Boeing - Aerion AS2 aircraft could become the symbol of private and business travels, with the capability of transporting 12 passengers from
AERION AS2: Stretch out on the couch at the speed of sound. New York to London in little more than three hours. The first flight is planned for 2023 and final certification in 2025. A market of 100 AS2s is anticipated, as is a premium price above the
current sub sonic business aircraft manufactured by companies like Embraer, Gulfstream and Dassault or indeed their ‘heavy’ cousins from Airbus and Boeing. Potential customers may be expected to be
already in discussions to reserve their slots on the production line. “Aerion is the industry leader mapping out a successful, sustainable return to supersonic flight,” said Tom Vice, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Aerion. “The AS2 is the launch point for the future of regulatorycompliant and efficient supersonic flight. Together with Boeing, we’re creating a faster, more connected future with tremendous possibilities for enhancing humanity’s productivity and potential.” Boeing NeXt works with industry partners and regulatory agencies to lead the responsible introduction of a new mobility ecosystem. The division’s portfolio includes prototyping activities and programmes which will shape the future of urban, regional and global mobility. These programmes include autonomous air vehicles and passenger-carrying hypersonic aircraft. Nothing worth doing ever really proceeds in a straight line, but the Aerion effort looks like it is ready to roll. The needle-sharp nose of a passenger supersonic aircraft the AS2 is approaching its runway and readying for take-off. Readying to transport the wealthy and the urgent at high speed and in some luxury, from London to New York in just three hours.
Get ready to rock jamming or playing solos in the same way their heroes do. Although they have a basis of four musicians in the band, they will from time to time bring in a keyboard player to add just that bit more to the music. Gaz told Euro Weekly News they were excited about their first visit to Spain to attend the Pink Purple Zep Fest II which takes place at the Estepona bull ring on June 28 and 29, and knowing how popular this brand of music is in Spain, the band hope to secure other gigs in the country. Bearing in mind that the Foo Fighters haven’t played in the country since 2017 and will be in Sweden on the night of Friday June 28, here is a perfect opportunity to see Foo Fighters GB alongside AC/BC and Guns2Roses on the same bill.
INTERVIEW by John Smith WITH the sudden death of Nirvana’s singer in 1994, drummer Dave Grohl recorded 15 tracks playing all of the instruments himself. He was soon signed to Capitol Records and rather than perform as a solo artist, he recruited a number of musicians who became known as the Foo Fighters and they are still at the top of their game today. Now one of the most popular rock bands in the world, they have spawned a number of tribute bands, but one in particular - Foo Fighters GB (previously known as Foo5ighters) - has become hugely successful playing at clubs and festivals throughout the UK and much of Europe. Led by Gary (Gaz) Bates, who looks and sounds remarkably like Grohl, the four-piece band were formed in 2014 and have been

manufacturers Gretsch to produce a pink drum set, identical to a custom set they made for Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, and now Foo Fighters GB are the only tribute band anywhere with
this pink kit. The band plays numbers from each of the albums and has such a wide repertoire, they can perform a show lasting two-and-a-half hours or even longer if they start

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. 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. Our
EWN 101
website is www.ace-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public at weekends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeon line.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. 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 clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about rehoming, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

Advertising Feature IT was 15 years ago that Richard Barrett settled in Spain after having spent the early part of his working life in the UK involved with tyres and the motor industry generally. The first thing which he spotted, was that the cost of new tyres appeared to be exceptionally high and service could be a bit perfunctory to say the least. Having investigated the situation further, he came to the conclusion that prices didn’t have to be so high and there was a ready market for a fast fit and reasonably priced tyre service from a company which literally offers service with a smile. Thus Trade Tyres Auto Center was born, and has grown to offer not just tyres, but a whole range of other services including brakes, clutches, servicing, mechanical repairs, pre-ITV, wheel alignment and remapping. All of this takes place at their very modern establishment conveniently situated between Alhaurin el Grande and Coin on the A404, approximately 25 minutes from the
REVIEW by Tim Saunders WHEN the Hyundai i30 is delivered I am pleasantly surprised. I had been expecting a plain and functional five-door hatchback. But instead I am looking at the Fastback, a much more exciting proposition. Its sleek lines make it a vehicle to admire from the design perspective. The striking front is impressive if similar to a growing number of cars these days. The rear has hints of Mercedes about it… and Aston Martin without the hefty price tags. The i30 Fastback clearly has a talented designer. The result should be a Lexus beating sports saloon that is very pleasing on the eye and really does create a double take, especially for those who have previously ignored the virtues of a Hyundai. This family car surprises at every turn and probably the biggest achievement is the fact that it is powered by a tiddly little one-litre petrol engine, which promises low emissions. Through turbo charging, the engineers have cleverly squeezed almost

around the boot rubber. My biggest gripe though is the positioning of the three seatbelt points in the rear. Bear in mind that I am the owner of an ageing Ford Fiesta and I regularly travel with three cumbersome car seats in the back without a problem. Therefore, I do not anticipate any problems in fitting the same three car seats in
more modern vehicles. The Hyundai is a considerably larger car. But oh dear, oh dear. The positioning of the belt buckle slots means that I must have wasted over an hour of my time during the course of the test fiddling around fitting the car seats for my two daughters. Because Henry’s is a slightly wider Cosatto seat it covers both slots for Harriett’s and Heidi’s car seats. I dread every time we all return to the car because I know that my fingers are really going to hurt as I have to forcibly lift Henry’s seat up to allow for Harriett and Heidi to be strapped in. I have had some problems with other new cars but never to this extent. The boot is large enough for the family’s luggage and has good amounts of storage space. The black cloth seats are comfortable and so is the ride. Overall it feels sporty and quite low to the ground. The six-speed manual box can be a little too notchy on occasions. It can be a slow car but if revved hard it does deliver a smile especially with the raspy note of the exhaust, which gets louder the harder it’s driven. Here is a car for a family of four without any car seats.

According to cars.com, the Ferrari 458 Spider is the most crashed car in the world on a pro rata basis.
Fastest production Seat ever SEAT has upgraded its Leon with the new Leon CUPRA R ST special edition which is the fastest production car ever made by the Spanish manufacturers. The Leon Cupra ST will reach 250kph, with it sprinting to 100kph in just 4.9 seconds. An optional after sales tuning package boosts power from 296 bhp to 365 bhp and brings the sprint time down to 4.5 seconds - pretty impressive for what is after all an estate car. Its two-litre turbo charged four cylinder engine is allied to four wheel drive to ensure you can make the best use of all that power, giving a smooth ride and snappy handling. In order to improve cornering speed and handling performance, new uprights have been added to the front axle that modifies the negative camber (2º); the rear neg-
ative camber is also at 2º. The performance is matched by the distinctive CUPRA sound from the quad exhaust pipes at the rear of the vehicle giving drivers a sound as well as a visceral experience from behind the steering wheel. At first glance the Leon CUPRA R ST stands out from the competition with what Seat calls a ‘compelling’ exterior design. The newly developed lateral air intakes have been given a copper colour treatment that may not be to everyone’s taste, but is distinctive. Extensive use of carbon fibre helps with performance and is evident in the front diffusers and other aesthetic features. Antonino Labate, director of Strategy, Business Development and Operations of CUPRA, said: “The Leon CUPRA R ST repre-
sents our ability to make unique, exciting cars with the most advanced technology ready for the most demanding and diverse of drivers.”
Infiniti withdraws from Spain MOTORISTS in Spain who fancy buying one of Nissan’s up-market Infiniti Motor Company cars will have to get a move on. The company has just announced a restructuring plan that will see it abandon the western European market in 2020. Instead the brand will focus on its biggest growth markets of North America and China, while ongoing operations in eastern Europe, Middle East and Asia, which continue to grow, will be unaffected. As part of the plan, Infiniti will electrify its portfolio from 2021 onward, discontinue diesel offerings and focus its resources on its biggest opportunities. The company will place more focus on its SUV lineup in North America, bring five new vehicles to China over the next five years, work to improve quality of sales and residual value, and realise more synergies with Nissan Motor Company.
This is all part of Infiniti’s vision to become a top challenger brand in the premium segment, says the company. In anticipation of its planned withdrawal from western Europe in early 2020, the company says it is working to find alternative opportunities for any employees who would be affected, consulting with employee representatives where necessary and identifying opportunities for transition and training support where appropriate. Once this is complete, Infiniti will work with its retailers to conclude end of franchise agreements, providing the support and services necessary to ensure a smooth transition. Infiniti retail operations are to remain operational until a tailored transition plan is put in place for continued aftersales services, including vehicle servicing, maintenance and warranty repairs.
HOT: Leon Cupra R ST will hit 250kph.

Puma deal
CELEBRATION: Barcelona’s Messi and Suarez ensure a 4-1 win over Real Betis. back through Loren Moron to at least put the club on the scoreline. And Barca will be hoping for a similar result when they visit the stadium on May 25
for the Copa del Rey final against Valencia. Sunday’s result gives Barca a 10 point advantage at the top of La Liga Santander, meaning they can focus on
the Champions League. There are 10 match days left in the Spanish league, but it barely matters at the top. Elsewhere Valencia drew 0-0 with Getafe CF.
And in the second division RCD Mallorca beat Las Palmas 2-1 while neither Almeria nor Granada could hit the back of the net for a 0-0 draw.
LA LIGA has signed a new ball deal with Puma, spelling the end of a 23-year partnership with Nike. Puma will take over as the league’s ball manufacturer for the 2019-2020 campaign as part of a mega money three season agreement to produce all balls for the Spanish top flight. This brings to a close one of the longest collaborations in European sport. La Liga bosses have not confirmed the reasons behind the deal, or any financial details. Puma also recently announced it will be producing the kits for La Liga side Valencia for the next three seasons after they ended their deal with Adidas.

THE La Liga title race is all but over after a hat trick from Barcelona’s Lionel Messi on Sunday against Real Betis. Barca went into the game knowing that second placed Atletico Madrid had slipped up away at Athletic Club on Saturday. And they kept their game tight and were clinical in attack, notching up a 4-1 win at the Estadio Benito Villamarin. Argentine Messi once again put on a class performance grabbing two first half goals before securing a hat trick with a brilliant chip over Pau Lopez in the 85th minute.

PACKED: Wanda Metropolitano stadium. A RECORD number of spectators watched the La Liga Iberdrola top-of-the-table clash between women’s football teams Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at the weekend. Barca were handed new hope of winning the league after they closed the gap at the top with a 2-0 win away to leaders Atletico Madrid, in front of 60,739 at the Wanda Metropolitano - a record for a women’s football match at club level.
The club posted on their Facebook page: ‘Historical record attendance in a female club match, thank you fans for making it possible. Atletico de Madrid Femenino showed a lot of strength, we’ll keep working until the end.’ Asisat Oshoala and Toni Duggan got on the score sheet for the Catalans as they pulled themselves to within three points of Atletico’s tally of 66. The current league leaders started well in the first 30 minutes with
Meseguer and Kaci setting the tempo. But Barcelona soon picked up pace and it was a more even contest as half-time approached. It was the visitors who dominated the second half though straight after the break. Oshoala opened the scoring on 65 minutes as she got on the end of a corner to silence the Wanda, and with 10 minutes to go Duggan put Barca two up.
