Madrid grew into a modern city in the 18th and 19th century and was named explicitly as the Spanish capital in the 1931 Constitution of the Second Republic. The day of the holiday, May 2, marks the anniversary of an uprising staged by Madrid residents against the occupying French forces of Napoleon in 1808.

The owner will be obliged to pay the fee at a bank and with proof of payment, to collect their pet. Other veterinary costs may be payable, if necessary.

Councillor for Historical Heritage, Rafael Almagro, has revealed that part of the Taifal Tower at the Castle of Ori-

Top tapas in Formentera THE annual ‘Tapas Trail’ in Formentera del Segura was nothing short of a roaring success at the weekend, despite concerns that the recent bad weather may cause an upset. The sun was shining, the drinks were flowing, the train was running and the music played. As reported previously, this is the first year that three ‘Brit bars’ were invited to take part - reinforcing the welcome integration of overseas communities in the area. The format of the weekend was the established mix of discounted cocktails at certain times, mixed with an array of quality tapas. Formentera del Segura is home to an area called Los Palacios, which borders the town of Rojales. With that in mind, the popular Havana train commutes between the two communities, taking children and adults alike between all the participating bars. During Saturday afternoon, popular local band ‘No Name’ played to the masses congregating in the village square. Such was the bonhomie, the trio invited members of the public to join in.

The socialists headed by the current president Pedro Sanchez won 123 seats in the national parliament but will need pacts with other parties to govern. The Partido Popular, the PSOE’s closest rivals lagged further behind than expected with 66 seats and the party under Pablo Casado suffered its worst-ever defeat. His hard-hitting, far-right strategy backfired and the PP’s showing in Cataluña was abysmal, taking just one seat in Madrid and none in the Basque Region.

The Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) pro-independence party doubled their seats in the national parliament to 15, while PNV and Bildu in the Basque Region also gained seats. There was a record turnout of almost 76 per cent, nine percentage points more than in the 2016 general election. It is already clear that the PP, Cs and Vox cannot repeat their Andalucia coalition and Albert Rivera ruled out a postelection alliance with the PSOE weeks ago. Pedro Sanchez must now look Left to form a government and woo the nationalists, possibly including ERC, to obtain the 176 seats he needs to govern.
PSOE and what they stand for PSOE are the oldest and arguably the most successful political party in Spain, having been in power for a longer time than any other party since the demise of the Franco dictatorship. PSOE (Partido Socialista Obrero Español) which translates as ‘The Spanish Socialist Workers Party’ is far removed from the British Socialist Workers party, having abandoned Marxist ideology in the 1980s. It now describes itself as ‘social democratic, centre-left and progressive.’ The leader of this party is Pedro Sanchez, 47, who became Prime Minister of Spain after the no-confidence vote in the previous government of conservative Mariano Rajoy in 2018. The major policies of POSE are: * Pro-European and further European integration. From May 1, Spain will hold the Presidency of the EU. * To introduce a fairer and more equitable system of taxation. * To create jobs - already policies are going ahead with the release of funds for major infrastructure spending projects as well as housing. * A review of spending to the regions, ensuring equality across the country. * Ensuring the rights of pensioners, the disabled, individuals from the ‘LGBTI’ communities, families and women, with a special emphasis on tackling racism. * Increasing spending in and improving the quality of education, especially in the sciences and to promote digital developments. * Developing health services to make Spain a worldwide leader in the field. * The urgent eradication of poverty. * Advancing consumer rights. * To develop policies to counter rural depopulation and develop opportunities in those affected areas.

Worst first quarter unemployment rate since 2013 DESPITE breaking records in permanent contracts and having seen an employment increase of 3.16 per cent in the last 12 months, data shows that Spain has had the worst first quarter unemployment
rate since 2013. Compared to last quarter of 2018, unemployment rose by 1.5 per cent (49,900 people) in the first three months of 2019, according to Labour Force Survey (EPA).
The unemployment rate has reached 14.7 per cent of the active population, a 0.25 per cent rise compared to the previous trimester. The first quarter of each year tends to be negative for generating employment in Spain due to the worldwide economic slowdown, according to experts. On a more positive note, over the past year, employment numbers have increased by 596,900 people, an annual rate which hasn’t been seen since before the crisis in 2007. Also, the number of people with permanent contracts rose by 0.7 per cent (89,900 people) compared to the previous quarter, reaching a historical record of over 12,1 million indefinite workers. The younger generation continue to be one of the more vulnerable sectors in the Spanish society in terms of creating employment with an unemployment rate of 34.9 per cent, 1.1 per cent higher than the three months before.

MEASLES VACCINE: Experts believe concerns of vaccine safety has caused a decrease.
Measles outbreak HEALTH experts are warning measles cases have risen by more than 300 per cent because more children are not receiving a vaccine. The World Health Organisation (WHO) claimed more than 20 million children worldwide are not being given the life-saving inoculation each year, declaring the issue a ‘public emergency.’ The WHO said decreased inoculation rates mean collective immunity - the concept where a
disease is almost eradicated if a high enough proportion of people receive a vaccine, normally 95 per cent - is beginning to fail. UNICEF reported around 169 million children did not receive the first part of the innoculation - which comes in two phases - between 2010 and 2017. The number of cases of measles worldwide in the first three months of 2019 has since reached more than 110,000, almost a 300 per cent increase on the same period last year.

Some commentators said the stark difference between the two parties could turn the European elections into ‘another vote on Brexit, with two very clear options.’ British journalist Thomas Hunt told podcast Brexit: The Final Countdown: ‘I actually think the whole ‘second referendum, we need another vote on Brexit,’ this is it.’ He added: ‘No- one is voting for their local leisure centre to get EU funded, this is down purely to Brexit, Remain or Leave, it’s the exact same.’ Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable was met with booing and shouts by the Question Time audience after he suggested a second referendum was the only way to, ‘lance the boil of Brexit.’
Farage on gene By Joe Gerrard NIGEL FARAGE has ruffled feathers in the Conservative and Labour parties after confirming his newly-formed Brexit Party will stand at the next general election. Rather than simply fielding candidates at next month’s European Parliament elections, the former UKIP leader said he now wants to use the opportunity as a ‘springboard,’ for ‘massive change’ in UK politics. According to several polls, Farage’s party already looks sets to make large gains at the EU elections, with many former Conservative and Labour supporters pledging to switch allegiance to his Brexit Party. The politician’s latest announcement that his party will also stand at the next general election could see Britain’s current political landscape dramatically altered. Farage, who said he made his return to politics because he does not believe parliament intends to follow through with Brexit,

BRIEF
e sets sights eral election NIGEL FARAGE: The politician announced his new party will stand at a general election. claimed he hoped his new party would put pressure on MPs to leave the European Union by October 31. He told British media: “We want the European election to be the first step of a massive change which entirely resets British politics. “MPs will realise that if they carry on trying to stop Brexit, they’ll lose their seats at the next general election. I think they will be very fearful of what the Brexit Party can do to them.” Following the UK’s last general election on June 8, 2017, the Fixed Term Parliament Act dictates Britain would not normally hold another vote until 2022. However, a simple two-thirds majority vote for a general election or a successful no-confidence vote could see the UK heading for the polls much sooner if required.

CAUGHT: Guardia Civil arrest three individuals for abducting a man.
Men arrested for ‘express kidnapping’ THREE men have been arrested by the Guardia Civil for carrying out an ‘express kidnapping’ in Toledo. The offenders, two of them father and son, threatened, bound and beat the victim who had set up a meeting to show an individual a piece of land which was on the market for sale. The offenders called the victim’s father giving him 20 minutes to pay €300,000 in ex-
change for his son’s release. As the father reportedly could not raise enough money in such a short space of time, the beaten victim was dumped at an underpass. After further police investigations, the trio were individually detained in Mora, Ciudad Real and Telo and have been placed in the hands of the Court of Instruction number two of Orgaz.

No more nuts served on flights BRITISH budget airline easyJet has announced it will no longer serve peanuts on its flights in a bid to help protect passengers with a severe allergic reaction to the nuts. The airline will also ban passengers from eating nut products if somebody on board has an allergy to them. easyJet has announced: “We have stopped the sale
of peanuts onboard and will be removing the last product from our inflight range which contains nuts in the coming months. “When a passenger who suffers from a severe nut allergy, which can result in anaphylaxis, is travelling with us we will request that other passengers travelling on the flight do not consume nuts that they have brought with them onboard.
“We recommend passengers inform us of their allergy at the time of booking which enables us to pass this information onto the cabin crew operating the flight.” Peanut allergy is one of the most dangerous food allergies and is one of the most common causes of food-related death. In the West it is estimated to affect between 1 - 3 per cent of the population.

DRAGONKEEPER: In production at China Film Animation studios in Beijing.
Spain in China By Johanna Rebuffo SPAIN and China have signed a co-production agreement which has opened the door to the massive Asian market, now the second-largest market in the world. Bikes, released earlier this month, is their first joint production. The animated film makes subtle references to China in terms of architecture, characters and shop signs, which are written in both Chi-
nese and English. The movie has funds from China and Argentina, with artistic work done in Spain. Working under censorship laws which ban content considered to be against Chinese values has reportedly been difficult. Production has already begun on the animation Dragonkeeper, the most ambitious project of the Spanish-Chinese agreement set to be released in 2021. Sources claim the artistic
production is a challenge because the Chinese have an ideographic language; they read the images, and that’s why their thought process is built by associating images. This is why the script has been done with great care, developing an animated storyboard, dubbed in Chinese. Producers hope Dragonkeeper is relevant to the Chinese public and exotic for the international viewer.

The huge beast had made a dash for freedom from an estate in Villalba and police tried to stop it reaching a populated area by placing vehicles in its path. Five Guardia Civil patrols and specialists from the SEPRONA nature protection branch were called in to deal with the incident, but the bull tossed the police vehicles aside before it was cornered.

As more details of the atrocities emerge, Sri Lankan state officials have revealed the suspects were all highly-educated. According to Deputy Defence Minister Ruwan Wijewardene, “They wanted Islam to be the only religion in Sri Lanka. Most are well educated and come from middle or upper middle-class families. They are quite independent financially and their families are stable. This is worrying.” He added: “One of the suicide bombers studied in the UK and then did a post-graduate course in Australia before returning to Sri Lanka.” So-called Daesh have since claimed responsibility for the killings which have so far left 359 people dead.

But for fans of the HBO series it is probably best to be aware that this is an ‘unofficial’ production, which, although based on original scripts, does not include your favourite actors and will be in Spanish.

Mum dies without knowing what happened to missing daughter THE heartbroken sister of missing Scottish woman Lisa Brown has revealed the family has been taking a break from the search for Lisa, who went missing in the south of Spain in November 2015, following the death of their mother. Helen Jordan, with brothers Craig and Martin, have been mourning the loss of their mum Catherine who passed away without knowing what happened to Lisa. Lisa Brown disappeared from her home in Guadiaro near San Roque in November 2015. The alarm was raised after the 32-year-old failed to collect her son Marco, then aged eight, from school. She has not been seen since. In an emotional statement on the Find Lisa Facebook page, Helen wrote: ‘Due to the loss of our mum we have been taking a break and trying to get our strength back again. ‘Her biggest fear was never knowing what happened to Lisa and not being here to see justice, but we assured her we

Investigators have said they believed a ‘violent episode’ had taken place prior to her disappearance, but her body has never been found. Liverpool-born yacht dealer Simon Corner was detained in Denmark on a European Arrest Warrant and extradited to Spain after leaving the country in the wake of Lisa’s disappearance.

RIVER TAGUS: Experts believe the river may no longer be able to supply some parts of Spain.
Running dry CLIMATE change will leave Spain’s Tajo-Segura Water Transfer dry by 2070, according to news reports. The water transfer system, one of the largest hydraulic engineering works ever created in Spain, channels water from the Tagus River, Spain’s longest river. According to experts, by 2070 it will no longer be possi-
ble to transfer water to the Segura basin due to decreased rainfall. Since 1979, the TajoSegura Water Transfer has been providing water to the area in southeast Spain, bringing in a GDP of €2,364 million and supporting more than 100,000 jobs, according to one report. Francisco Pellicer, researcher at the Catholic University of
Murcia, told Spanish media: “In recent years, the transfers to the basin of the Segura River from the Tagus are much lower than planned. Instead of the theoretical 540 cubic hectometres per year that should arrive, there have been flows to the basin of the Segura River of about 365 cubic hectometres per year on average.”

Ins and outs of the Padron
Living in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics.
IN simple words, the padron is a local certificate that you are given when you register at your town hall. In Spanish it is called ‘certificado de empadronamiento,’ and helps compile a list of those people who live in a municipality. The padron is used by the government and local authorities to keep a ‘head count’ on how many people live in the area, and as such receive financial assistance in the form of subsidies and grants from provincial, regional and central authorities for the provision of services. Anyone who lives for more than six months in Spain is required to register on the padron. However, the certificate itself only lasts for a limited period of time, and must be renewed. A handy website is: www.spanishsolutions.net/of ficial-documents-in-spain/padron To register on the padron you need: Your passport, Your NIE or residence certificate, The deeds to your house or a copy of your rental agreement, A recent utility bill in your name. To add someone onto your padron, as it must contain all occupants, you will need: • Title deeds of the property, • The passports of both parties, and copies, • A utility bill, • Both certificates of residence, • Rental agreement (if renting and not residing with owner). Since you need the padron certificate to become a Spanish resident, but you cannot give the padron office your residency until you apply for it, the padron offices usually give a set period to return and present your Spanish residency. In the Alicante Province, for example, it’s three months. To find out more, visit: www.gov.uk/guidance-requirements-in-spain. Padron holders have the right to vote in local elections. Residents who can demonstrate a specified time on the padron, can also receive benefits or a cash grant when getting married to another resident, or could qualify for financial assistance for any children born in Spain. The traffic department of Spain, require a padron to register a car in your own name, to import a car from another country, to qualify for a Spanish driver’s licence, and in some cases to purchase mobile phones or electrical goods. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

US marine detained A US federal judge has ordered a former marine, allegedly involved in the February attack against the Embassy of North Korea in Madrid, be kept in US custody for possible extradition to Spain. Detainee Christopher Philip Ahn, aged 38, suspected member of the North Korean dissident group Cheollima Civil Defense (CCD), was arrested last Thursday by US authorities. North Korea has urged Spanish authorities to carry out the investigation on the ‘serious terrorist attack’ in a ‘responsible’ manner, and said they are trying to determine whether the FBI is behind this assault. Assailants have allegedly turned in computers and hard drives from the Embassy to the FBI after fleeing to the United States. In a letter published as ‘Information on Madrid,’ the CCD stated the assault responded to ‘an urgent situa-

Bank to revisit worker payout
Deficit fall on course SPAIN is currently set to exit an EU public spending scheme launched after the eurozone crisis after Brussels revised figures for Madrid’s annual deficit down. The EU’s Eurostat statistics agency revised down Spain’s estimated 2018 budget deficit as a percentage of economic output (GDP) to 2.48 per cent from the 2.63 per cent previously stated. That means Spain could leave Brussels’ Excessive Deficit Procedure as early as June this year if the financial and economic outlook does not change drastically in the coming months.
By Joe Gerrard The revised figures come as the government previously posted deficit figures of 2.63 per cent. Economy Minister Nadia Calviño said at the time that the fall from 3.1 per cent in 2017 came from increases in tax receipts despite higher government spending. Calviño added Spain would not be on course to meet targets for deficit reduction set by the previous conservative Partido Popular (PP) government. That administration wanted to cut spending to bring the deficit down to 2.2 per cent of GDP in 2018.
Spain entered the Excessive Deficit Procedure in 2011 during the eurozone debt crisis. It saw Brussels attempt to impose spending restrictions on Madrid as well as Greece, Ireland and Portugal. It requires member states to keep budget deficits below 3 per cent of GDP and national debt beneath 60 per cent of GDP. Spain’s national debt as a percentage of GDP stood at more than 97 per cent last year, according to Eurostat. IMF forecasts released earlier this month predicted Spain’s deficit would remain below 3 per cent of GDP until at least 2024.
MANAGERS of CaixaBank have agreed to look into increasing payoffs for workers recently laid off after unions claimed they were ‘extremely insufficient’. The bank and the USO union have been in talks over the compensation after managers announced plans to cut branches by 18 per cent, affecting around 2,157 workers. The union has asked the bank to increase payouts and to ensure workers who opt to transfer to different branches are adequately compensated. Previous plans would have seen staff aged under 53 paid redundancies worth 40 days per year worked.

Around two-thirds of survey respondents not making payments said having debt is a problem which must be dealt with as soon as possible. The equivalent figure for those in debt was 51 per cent, the study found. About 9 per cent of people not in debt had savings equivalent to three years worth of income.

Pound GBP/EUR: Down from €1.16 to €1.15 GBP/USD: Down from $1.32 to $1.30 The pound had a volatile start to February, fluctuating against currencies like the euro and the US dollar as April 12 - the UK’s revised deadline for leaving the EU - approached. A series of failed votes and stalled talks undermined hopes that a deal would be struck in time, and some feared that the UK would crash out of the EU without a deal. However, the UK was granted a flexible extension, with the possibility of staying in the EU until October 31. This development stopped the pound tumbling, but concerns about the impact of more months of uncertainty saw Sterling struggle as Easter approached.

Currency outlook: Brexit chaos calms, GBP/EUR edges lower
UNCERTAINTY: Recent Brexit news saw the pound continue to struggle. News that talks between Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Prime Minister Theresa May had stalled, also kept the pound
under pressure. At this stage it would take a significant Brexit development or seriously impressive UK data to
give the pound a boost. Euro EUR/GBP: Up from £0.85 to £0.86
EUR/USD: Down from $1.14 to $1.12 Although a dovish policy outlook from the European Central Bank (ECB) and mixed ecostats for the Eurozone have prevented the euro from shining against the US dollar in the last four weeks, the common currency has managed to edge higher against the pound. EUR/GBP has risen slightly in the wake of the EU granting the UK another Brexit extension, and the euro could extend these gains in the weeks ahead if the prospect of a deal being reached before the EU elections remains unlikely. Other news to look out for includes the ECB’s monthly bulletin, the EU Commission’s economic forecasts and Eurozone inflation data.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT JUST how much more of this one-sided, socalled diversity claptrap are we intended to put up with? This latest announcement, sanctioned and approved by the Lord Mayor of London (surprise surprise), is not only an insult to the intelligence of the beleaguered local British populace, but just about as far from integration and harmonious diversity as you can get. Apparently the North London Muslim Housing Association, (Yep), who actually go to great pains to advertise that they build and provide accommodation for all denominations and cultures, intends to build a London enclave of houses for Muslim occupation only. Apparently this company is fully endorsed by the GLC, who have already donated almost two million pounds to its coffers, and you can be certain if Mayor Khan has his way, are no doubt poised to pour in even more. Just how naïve do these people think (or not even care) the local populace actually is? Just consider the outcry there would be if a UK construction company announced it was building an estate to house only English or white practising Christians, or in fact any religion other than Muslim. There would be condemnations in the media, questions in the House, rioting in the streets and possible legal proceedings in the courts. Instead of that, this whole unsavoury scheme
FEATURE
An arrogant affront
SADIQ KHAN: Mayor of London. has been conducted in virtual silence and secrecy. It only came to my attention from one of my column correspondents, (thanks for that). The whole project is an arrogant affront to our British culture and heritage. It can only evoke suspicion,
fear and isolation. No doubt these areas will become no-go areas for non-Muslims and be conducted under the laws of Sharia. This and any other areas like it are a blight on our society. They are like cancers growing within
the very heart of British freedom and democracy and if allowed to continue will one day envelope the whole country. This one-sided appeasement and intentional segregation of a religion and culture, which the British public is trying so hard and patiently to nurture and understand, is nothing short of disgraceful, and both Mayor Khan and indeed anyone who condones these housing developments should be thoroughly ashamed and indeed brought up in front of the authorities to explain their actions, which are in the very least racist, and certainly in no way constructive to the UK’s endeavours to instill diversity and integration into the British way of life. Well, I wouldn’t hold yer breath. After all when you compare the outpouring of grief at the NZ mosque attack to the relatively lukewarm reaction from both the snowflakes and authorities to the Sri Lanka atrocities, I think you get some idea of how the land is beginning to lie. In fact, had some of the tragic victims in the latter attack not been British; it would probably have been old news after a couple of days! It would if the BBC had had anything to do with it anyway. What say you? Keep the faith, Love, Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com.

CONSULAR MATTERS MY Danish friend Peter has now told me that he wants a dog and he was wondering what the law is here in Spain. As Danish Consul and as a lawyer I always try to help people remain within the law, but in my particular case I have two rescue dogs so I am a dog lover and I am proud to be part of the dog owning fraternity. Peter wants to have a dog as he is now retired and it is good to have some company as he lives alone. Also it is a good way to keep his grandchildren occupied when they stay with him, and a way to meet people in the dog park or when he is just sitting in a cafeteria having a coffee with his dog beside him. It’s not common for me as a lawyer to advise on dog ownership, but maybe he chose me as I have two rescue dogs. Well the first thing in Spain is that the dog needs to be microchipped and have the corresponding vaccinations according to the age of the dog. Basically all vaccinations and the micro-chip have to be done during the first six months. After

Peter and his dog
IT’S A DOG’S LIFE: Make sure you know the rules for owning a dog. that the dog needs a yearly vaccination. The dog will need to be registered in the Junta de Andalucia. The vet will do that and will grant the dog’s passport. If his dog grows to 20kg or more
he will need to muzzle the dog when it is in a public place. Also the dog will need to be on a lead when it is in a public place. As for places to take the dog in addition to the great expanses of countryside near to our cities in
Spain there are also dog beaches and dog parks maintained by the local town hall. Peter can even take his new dog on holiday travelling by train, taxi, buses, plane or boat, always with prior approval of the shipping com-

pany. Dogs are welcome as guests in hotels, or private houses rented through AirBnb, Home Away or any other sites. He will need to search to make sure the host allows dogs; as time goes by more and more places are allowing dogs. As for the question of poop, you have to pick it up and dispose of it correctly; not only can it be a health risk but there is also a fine. As for carrying a bottle of water with vinegar in it, now this is the law in a few places but I highly recommend it at least during the summer time. Peter asked where is the best place to find a dog. Well in my case I wanted to adopt an abandoned dog so I went to the ‘Podencos’ and ‘Galgos’ association and ended up getting one from each. There are a number of rescue centres and even groups on Facebook which help rehome dogs. As for finding a vet there are a huge number here in Spain and just in case your dog has problems, health insurance is available. Good luck and welcome to the world of dog lovers.

Keyboard warriors be called that and that’s when the trouble starts. Some can’t cope when the offers stop coming in and they go to the darkest of places and tragically kill themselves. What else is terrible is that apparently if you read their social media accounts everything is fine and life couldn’t be better. Here lies another problem because obviously it’s not fine. I have Instagram and Twitter accounts and I’m forced to have Facebook if I wish to look at certain things. I follow a very limited number of people, but one of the things I’ve noticed is the hate which people give out on there. It’s horrific. And, of course, nobody knows how that affects the victim. Australian model and reality star Charlotte Dawson died in 2014 after facing Twitter trolls. One of the major problems is that anyone can say anything about anyone and that then becomes gospel. There is a TV critic call Dan Wootton who works for the worst of the red tops and he often tweets the most appalling stuff about celebs and has no interest in how that can cause them upset or hurt. If he doesn’t like you, for whatever reason, then that’s it. It’s time for all this to stop and understand that human life is more important than making crap TV shows and hiding behind a keyboard to pedal hate is just plain evil.
Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man
IT’S claimed 38 celebrities around the world are suspected to have died by suicide following links to reality TV shows. That is some crazy number. That’s the headline I wanted to start my column with. Then I realised there is a glaring error with the word ‘celebrities,’ because actually they aren’t. Most are a bunch of kids who would do anything for a bit of fame and that’s the problem. Two kids from a show called Love Island are the most recent victims of seemingly not being able to handle the aftermath of being reality TV stars. It’s heartbreaking that this happens. I’ve never seen the show, but why continually churn out this garbage? There are loads featuring all sorts - Essex people, Northern housewives, people who force their kids to dance and win at any cost, and don’t forget the absolute twerps from Chelsea. It’s crazy and all total garbage. Plus, the people who take part then think they are celebrities and I have news for you you aren’t. You have not earned the right to mikesenker@gmail.com.

NEWS that a Barcelona school has removed Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty for being sexist got me thinking fairy tales won’t survive in the UK either in their current form. Not unless they can prove they’re ultra PC… Take for instance, Little Red Riding Hood (Red to her trans co-workers) who, you’ll recall, lives with her homemaker mother near a wood full of protected plants. One day, her mother asks her to take some organically-grown fruit to Grandma. Red: “Aren’t you oppressing me by ordering me like this?” “No,” Mother replies. “It’s impossible for women to oppress each other since all women are equally oppressed until all women are free.” On her way to Grandma’s, Red is challenged by the wolf. Warned never to talk to strangers, she nevertheless replies confidently: “I’m taking Grandma some healthy snacks as a gesture of solidarity.” “You know, my dear, it isn’t safe for a little girl alone in these woods.” Red replies angrily: “Your sexist remark is extremely offensive, but I’ll ignore it because of your traditional status as an outcast from soci-

might see you.” “Goodness! Grandma, what big eyes you have!” “You forget, child, I’m optically challenged...” At that moment, a gender-neutral woodchopper rushes in with an axe and decapitates Red. “Hands off the wolf, that endangered species, trans-sister! This is an RSPCA sting!” “Thank God you arrived in time,” gasps the wolf. “That brat and her grandmother lured me in here. Thought I was a goner!” “No, I’m the real victim here,” replies the woodchopper. “I’ve been dealing with my frustration ever since I saw her picking those protected flowers. And now I’m so depressed, what with Brexit too! Do you have any Prozac?” “Sure! And how I feel your pain!” replies the wolf with a belch. “But do you have any Alka-Seltzer?” Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.norajohnson.net) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.99/£0.99) and iBookstore.

LEGALLY SPEAKING How to change administrators? IN our aparthotel building on the Costa Blanca, we have full-time residents and many owners who rent out their property. Our administration company is also the managing agent for the aparthotel and the rentals. We recently called an EGM to remove this administrator. Now he has refused permission to see our bank accounts and we are told that our community fees are far too high. The same administrators were removed by the court from another apartment block and had to refund money to the owners. We have installed a new administration company. This will take 18 months to go through the courts and we have an AGM soon. Is there any lawful course we can take? LS (Costa Blanca)
There is always David Searl negotiation. You and the Law Start by consulting your in Spain provincial Colegio de Administradores de Fincas, which is the professional association of property administrators. There are also forms of intermediation. Keep in mind, if you dismissed the administrator without a specific reason before the end of his contract, you probably will be ordered to pay him the fees outstanding for the period.
Send your questions for David Searl through lawyers Ubeda-Retana and Associates in Fuengirola at Ask@lawtaxspain.com, or call 952 667 090.

YOUR STARS
DID YOU KNOW?
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A shopping trip with a friend makes you realise that there is more to them than meets the eye. Should you have underestimated them, encourage them to open up. Something you hear this week will be of immense value to you in the future. Decorating and changes at home really bring spring into your life and perk you up.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Someone new to your circle of friends brings humour and a new lease of life, socially. When something outside your comfort zone is suggested, then be sure that it is not just faint heart that is stopping you. There is nothing wrong with saying ‘no’, unless there is heartache in doing so and then wishing that you had not.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Are you in the mood for some retail therapy? There are bargains to be had this week. The trend also extends to your personal life where it is possible to negotiate much more easily with a loved one. Suggestions for a busy weekend may be resisted owing to overload.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) The more sensitive side of your nature comes to the fore this week. You are likely to find yourself upset but, by looking on the bright side and keeping your sense of humour, brings a balanced view.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) This is a time to keep your mind sharp, so get plenty of sleep and exercise for sure. Legal matters may be paramount and need specialist advice. So long as you are doing your best in a certain situation, no more can be expected of you.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) This is a time of the year when new starts and fresh ideas come to you, which is excellent news for those who are looking forward to changes. The weekend brings you courage and determination and you feel confident enough to speak plainly with people.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Something said to you in
WHILE toads may look similar to frogs, they are able to be differentiated by their shorter legs, stouter bodies, and thick, warty skin. A toad’s skin can also be various colours depending on the soil in its habitat. Those living in grey soil areas have a grey colour, while those living on brown land have browncoloured skin.
confidence should be respected this week. Should the beans be spilled, it will not be you who is feeling guilty. The need to help someone with legal forms or some other complicated matter will be much appreciated.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A slow start to the week sees you full of beans come Wednesday. What is the cause of this change of attitude? Something you worked on last week shows signs of progress just when you thought it wouldn't.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is now that you may realise how right you were to keep something in reserve. Certainly, so far as a relationship is concerned, holding back has proved its worth. Financially, you are entering a period of frugality, but this is more for your own satisfaction than because of any money worries.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Getting more sleep and fresh air last week may show dividends now. The results are a brighter mind and more willingness to be social. Young people will be particularly helpful and fun to be with. Asking for their help makes them feel important in your life and will also bring you great pleasure.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) News of someone close brings finances into your mind. Perhaps some juggling is needed to keep the balance. There is more than one way to conserve both energy and money, which will give you a head start. Getting involved with a charity, even on a small scale, can bring immense satisfaction and costs nothing.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Keep a wide circle of friends and constantly seek to add to them. With such an active mind as yours, boredom is agitating and non-productive. Spring gives you the ideal opportunity to visit others and get out in the open. Both your health and finances gain from a day somewhere new as an inspired idea comes to you. An invitation you are tempted to refuse should be accepted if possible.

THIS year’s Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards tells the true story of a working class Italian-American doorman who becomes a chauffeur to a world-class black pianist in 1960’s America. Set in 1962 and starring Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, Green Book reveals the background behind Tony Lip Vallelonga, a bouncer who becomes a driver for Dr Don Shirley as the pair embark on a two-month tour. The pair must overcome divides to reach concert venues in the racially-charged deep south of America, leading to a meaningful friendship between the two. Directed by Peter Farrelly and written in conjunction with Vallelonga’s son, Green Book is based on interviews with Tony Lip and Don Shirley, and letters he wrote to his wife.

Carbon monoxide IT was good news to hear that the family of the poor man who died from carbon monoxide poisoning while on holiday in Cantabria has now received compensation for the tragic accident. I was surprised but pleased to hear that the case had settled so quickly and hopefully his relatives can now begin to heal. The case does raise the wider issue of carbon monoxide risk, however, and serves as a good reminder to us all to install carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in our homes. I personally also like to make sure a professional checks my boiler regularly. Arthur Drake
Citizen Sarah THE news that Sarah Almagro Vallejo has been given honorary citizenship of Marbella brought a tear to my eye. I cannot imagine how much this young woman’s life has changed since she lost all her limbs to septicaemia last year, but she continues to carry herself with such courage and optimism. I was delighted to read that local politicians have now recognised her bravery. It was also good to read that thanks to fundraising efforts, Sarah has now received prosthetic hands, and will soon receive prosthetic feet. I hope locals continue to be generous in supporting this inspiring girl. Mrs G Halls
Suicide stopped I WAS saddened to read about the teenage girl who a taxi driver reportedly prevented from killing herself in Marbella. While I am of course delighted to hear t h a t t h e g i r l w as ta lk ed down from the bridge and taken to hospital, it was shocking to hear that s h e wa s sa i d t o h a v e b ee n brought to that state because of bullying.

OUR VIEW Times are changing FOR many people there is a conundrum in Spain - the attitude of Spaniards to animals. On the one hand many lavish love and attention on their pets, just like people everywhere. But on the other there are said to be 12,000 events in the country, which involve some form of suffering to animals. And on top of that the abandonment of dogs and other animals is a huge problem, that requires voluntary charities all around Spain - many of them run by expats - to help. Even worse, there are still cases reported every year of hunting dogs being strung up to die, or thrown down wells when their owners have no further use for them. And for many outsiders looking in animal ‘cruelty’ is actually institutionalised with the bullfighting seen by its supporters as an integral part of Spanish culture. But what many people do not see is that things are changing for the better. And the showing of PACMA in the general elections on Sunday highlighted the growing influence on animal rights activists within the country. It is one of the very few political parties anywhere in the world which stands in elections in the name of animal protection. It garnered 326,000 votes, up more than 40,000 from the 2016 election. Only a quirk of Spanish electoral law stopped them gaining a seat for the first time. But PACMA is confident they will gain representation in the upcoming European elections. This would indeed show the world that the times are a changing in Spain when it comes to attitudes to animals.

Election: Victory for Pedro Sanchez and PSOE Good to see turnout was more than 75 per cent! Wish the apathetic UK could get so much interest. Great to see the Conservative PP get its just desserts with a major collapse in its share of the vote after all the revelations in the courts. I see the latest projections for England’s local elections on Thursday suggest a similar result for the Tory party with an expected loss of 1,000 seats! (wonder why?) Meanwhile in Spain, look forward to seeing Pedro Sanchez ease hardship among long-suffering Spaniards with socialist reforms. Not so good though to see a far-right party in parliament for the first time since Franco’s military dictatorship fell in the 70s. The last thing Spain needs is the Vox party which opposes multiculturalism and even feminism! Brian

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE the street, but the majority are pedalling counterfeit products which are illegal and yet they are permitted to carry on. We read messages on VHS, audio cassettes, CDs and DVDs over the years saying piracy is killing the entertainment industry but we don’t see much evidence of activity to prevent the sales of blatantly pirated goods on the streets of Europe. This is also true of the handbags and jewellery and sunglasses. Huge raids are carried out in the UK, but you rarely hear of any activity in Spain. On a good note what looked like a drug run speed boat was hauled out of the water near El Faro this week. David
Your kid just said what? Thank you Barry for giving me a whole string of laugh out loud moments! LOL!

Two of every 10 students drop out of university in Spain Much the same as in the UK. University of BOLTON (!) formerly the Tech college, scores 21.3 per cent in the the first year. London Metro Uni - formerly the North London Poly18.6 per cent overall. Blair’s idea of 50 per cent of young people going to University sounds wonderful, until you realise that it implies an IQ of 100. When we grew up, that got you five reasonable O levels. PM

Professional solutions for those with access problems AS we get older, so it sometimes becomes more difficult to climb stairs and there is a very real danger of injury, should a person fall. Such problems of mobility can be overcome quickly and easily by turning for advice to Total Access; a fastgrowing company of professionals who deal with all accessibility needs for those with problems such as arthritis, those who use a wheelchair or simply find stairs a problem. All material used by Total Access is imported from major manufacturers in Germany, UK and Holland and there is a team of skilled installers on hand to ensure a speedy and professional installation for your new equipment. Their service includes the supply of wheelchair ramps, stairlifts, pneumatic
lifts, platforms, swimming pool lifts and even adapted baths or showers, all aimed to make life better for those who find what used to be easy activities is now much more difficult. Recently, Total Access were contacted by a Mrs Moore who due to arthritis in both of her knees found it increasingly more difficult to go up and down stairs to her bedroom and sadly, she tumbled down the stairs which led to her having to undergo an operation. Her doctor recommended she contact an accessibility specialist to see what options could be available to make life easier, and happily for her she spoke to the experts at Total Access who recommended she have a curved double rail stairlift installed,
ARTHRITIS: Mrs Moore now finds life so much easier.
and this was completed and working within four weeks of placing the order. So delighted was Mrs Moore with the solution, she said “Before the stairlift, I used to find all of the things I needed when I got up and would bring them downstairs with me, but if I forgot something I had to wait until the next day to get it!� Reliability is the key word to the company ethic; installation of most units can be undertaken in a single day and with all work insured, the majority of the worries which may exist with such an important decision will become things of the past. Total Access will visit potential clients at home, review their needs and then prepare an immediate written proposal based on client wishes, taking in-
to account any financial guidelines and in some cases financing can be arranged if needed. So confident are they that the installation will be perfect, customers are invited to withhold 10 per cent of the cost for two weeks after the work is completed before signing the job off and paying the balance.

Never too old Kate Broadhead Health and Lifestyle coach
NOT TOO LATE: You can make a significant change at any age.
MANY people ask me if it is a waste of time to actively try to lose weight as they get older, even the over 40’s! The answer of course, is no! As we age, there are many reasons and excuses not to eat healthily or exercise. Confidence A big one. Going to the gym can seem a frightening prospect for many, the thought of young Lycra-clad beauties and wall- to-wall mirrors filling us with dread. Health issues The onset of menopause, food intol-
FOOD is an integral part of any culture. Just like customs, language and even climate, from country to country, the food varies vastly. Company Shake That Weight has delved deeper into national dishes, looking at which dishes are unhealthy. From icy terrains to dry desert climes, below are the worst offenders that’ll ruin your
erances which can develop as we age, thyroid issues and more, medication can also prove to be a tricky thing to work alongside. The ironic thing is, many health issues can be improved using diet alone and therefore eliminating the need for medication. Motivation Whether you still work, are semi-retired or retired, many people don’t have the urge to do anything about it. Retirement is fantastic, but endless days of lounging on the Costa and afternoons in the pub don’t equal a trim waistline! Peers There is always a stigma associated to losing weight, almost like you’re in-
volved in a cult. People will give you their opinion whether you want to hear it or not. Ignore them, it’s your choice to make. The bottom line is: A better diet equals more energy, better mental wellbeing and the desire to achieve more. It is a goal you can hit and feel good about, and more importantly feel great in your own skin. Whatever your age.

For personal coaching please email her on ccforbeginners@hotmail.com.
Healthy foods by nation healthy eating plan. Looking at which national dishes have the most calories, carbs, fat, sugar, salt and protein, these countries will ruin your healthy eating. Langham - the national dish in Kyrgyzstan, contains 1,424 calories. This pulled noodle, meat and vegetable dish con-
tains 71 per cent of a woman’s recommended caloric daily intake and 57 per cent of a man’s. Shake That Weight has also analysed one of the UK’s favourite dishes, fish and chips, and it seems the traditional meal does not compare too unfavourably. At 688 calo-
ries it is less than half those of Langham, and less than 50 per cent of a daily allowance. The dish does fall down on fat, however, containing around 26 grams, 37 per cent of a person’s daily allowance.

Life is like a box of chocolates… Joris Plu
and no one else, you decide how sweet your honey will be. Of course there are rainy days on our journey and even at these moments we can decide to use our um br el l a or t o dance in the rain. But in both ways try loving the rain. The way we l ook at everything in life is key. If we are willing to change our l ook i n di ff i cul t t i m es we have the sweetest honey ever. And for those who are not so into honey, you can always stick to the chocolates. So two questions - how sweet is your honey t oday? How wi l l your next chocolate taste?
CHOCOLATES: You never know what you’re gonna get.
TOM HANKS o n c e s aid th e following famous words in the mov i e F o rre st Gu m p ‘L ife is like a b o x o f c h o c o late s , y o u never know what you’re gonna get.’ A n d i f y o u h a v e s e e n th is movie like millions of other people did, you can confirm that the way he said this playing the role of Forrest Gump, was so pure, so honest, so wonderful and so very truthful. Life ‘is’ like a box of chocolates and indeed we never know what we will find on our path. We all know this. We have all experienced it and keep on experiencing this. Life is all about emotions and thoughts and we as humans always have the choice to look at wha t c o m e s o u t t h a t b o x o f chocolates, in a positive way or a
le s s p o s itiv e wa y. We decide in a split second if we like the praline or not. Most of the times the way we react is to do with our previous life le s s o n s . H a ve w e le a rne d from them or not? Can we move on or not? Do we still have certain fears or not? Do we just go for the next chocolate without
hesitation or do we have some doubts? My advice is just try to love all kinds of pralines and let new adve nture s fulfill your life . It makes life sweet as honey - time after time. Everyone can do this.
Summer scents WITH the approach of summer, many women may find themselves switching up heavier, wintry perfumes for lighter, summery fragrances. As smell is one of the senses most associated with emotion and memory it is no surprise that we often like to change our perfumes to reflect the new season. While a spritz of a traditional bottled fragrance can be the perfect final accessory for those who want the full sensory experience, however, experts recommend layering a perfume with other scented products for a longer-lasting and deeper fragrance. Many large perfume houses offer their own range of complementary body products designed to be used alongside their fragrances. However, there are also other products for the hair and body which can complement your scent at the same time as providing hydration and radiance in the drier summer months. For those who enjoy summery perfumes with tropi-

cal or fruit notes, why not layer your perfume over a body oil containing coconut such as Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (from £18.50/€21.36, www.cultbeauty.co.uk). This multi-purpose oil offers hydration, a healthy glow, and a subtle undertone to your perfume. Floral perfume lovers can also add depth with Rahua’s Smoothing Hair Balm (€30, www.rahua.eu), which contains gardenia for a subtle burst of scent, at the same time as smoothing frizz, moisturising hair and adding shine and thermal protection. Finally, for those who enjoy a fresh, citrusy fragrance, or for men to layer with most aftershaves, try a product containing bergamot. This crisp, unisex
note is both sophisticated and summery, and can be found in natural brand Korres’s Bergamot Pear line (starting from €10.80, www.korres.com). With hand creams, shower gels and body lotions, the range promises to hydrate and nourish with a high percentage of natural ingredients.

PROPERTY WHEN it comes to choosing between buying your own home or opting for the rental market, it soon becomes apparent that both have their upside and downside. But there is little debate
that buying is the way to go if you want to build your wealth. While renting can certainly alleviate many of the costs which go along with property ownership, buying a home

Grow your wealth can have positive monetary effects in the long run. While inflation is often seen as a dirty word, a real estate purchase makes it work for you. Not only will equity grow, but inflation means your monthly mortgage payments get smaller in real terms. On the other hand, rental payments are often subject to annual reviews, and they seldom come down. Putting money into rent means that money is gone and a regular monthly payment soon builds up to a very substantial sum. On the other hand, if you pay a mortgage you may lose the interest you have paid, but you get to keep any gains in valuation the property may accrue. Of course, in the shortterm buying a home is usually more expensive than renting, but it can also provide
you with greater financial flexibility and equity in the future. While changing up the bathroom or the paint on the wall in your apartment isn’t going to add any extra to your wallet when you move out, making upgrades to a home you own will have the very opposite effect. Renovations can certainly be unpopular while they’re taking place, but no matter how small or large, they can mean an easier sell and a higher profit when the home finally goes on the market. An apartment you rent won’t offer opportunity for investment if you’re away from your home for an extended period of time, but a home you own may serve as an ideal investment property at some point in the future. With the success of Airbnb and unique modern housing needs which may only require a home rental for a
short period of time, being able to use your house as a rental property can be a significant boon for earning money you would have otherwise been without. Buying a home can require a lot of number crunching in the beginning which rent does not, but it can also provide significant financial benefits down the road which might not exist without such a purchase.
INVESTMENT: Buying property is a smart move.

THE ‘new car smell’ is composed of over 50 volatile organic compounds.
Three times a winner JAGUAR have a triple winner on their hands. The all-electric Jaguar I-PACE has not only won the coveted 2019 World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year titles equalling the success of the FPACE in 2017 - it has also been named World Green Car. In fact, the I-PACE is the first model ever to win three World Car titles in the 15-year history of the awards. This latest win for the IPACE, which was chosen by a panel of 86 motoring journalists from 24 countries, comes just weeks after it claimed the European Car of Year title. Designed and developed in the UK, I-PACE is attracting new customers to the Jaguar brand, for many of whom it will also be their first EV.
So far more than 11,000 customers in 60 countries worldwide have taken delivery. Its combination of sports car performance, zero emissions, exceptional refinement and true SUV practicality make I-PACE the stand-out choice in its segment, claim Jaguar. The car boasts a stateof-the-art 90kWh lithium-ion battery and delivers a range of up to 292 miles (WLTP cycle). It is capable of charging from 0-80 per cent in just 40 minutes (100kW DC), or takes just over 10 hours to achieve the same state of charge when using a domestic wallbox

(7kW AC). A suite of smart, rangeoptimising technologies also include a battery pre-conditioning system; when plugged in, the I-PACE will automatically raise (or lower) the temperature of its battery to maximise range ahead of driving away. The I-PACE has also earned
a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. The body structure provides high levels of occupant protection, and is complemented by technologies designed to protect other road users and pedestrians, including a deployable bonnet and autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection.
The I-PACE has received 62 awards since it was revealed little more than a year ago, including European Car of the Year, German, Norwegian and UK Car of the Year, BBC Top Gear magazine EV of the Year, China Green Car of the Year, and Autobest’s ECOBEST Award. The Jaguar I-PACE is available to order now, priced from £60,995 in the UK, including a £3,500 UK government plug-in vehicle grant

A stunning beast... ASTON MARTIN has opened the roof on its latest open-top GT and it is a real beast. Billed as the manufacturer’s fastest roofless car yet, it can hit 211mph when the 715bhp 5.2-litre V12 engine is opened fully up. The new DBS Superleggera Volante delivers all the perfor-
mance (nearly) of the British marque’s critically-acclaimed Super GT flagship - the DBS Superleggera and blends it with classleading convertible technology. Thew DBS Superleggera Volante, the second Aston Martin to carry the Volante label, was designed in-house under the guidance of Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman. With the aim to create the most beautiful flagship Volante on the market, Aston Martin says its primary mission was to retain the coupe’s powerful dynamics, aggressive poise and astonishing performance. Mr Reichman said: “DBS Superleggera produces a spectacular and relentless level of performance, and so for the Volante, we focussed on bringing that extra level of sensory overload which only
TOP PERFORMER: Aston Martin’s fastest open-top yet.
an open-top Super GT can deliver inside the cabin. With the unique dynamics, beautiful yet brutish design and the unmistakable harmonics of Aston Martin’s 5.2-litre V12 engine, we believe we have delivered a unique and unforgettable driving experience which is synonymous with the traditions of the Volante name.” The car boasts ferocious acceleration, covering 0-62mph in just 3.6 seconds and 0100mph in 6.7 seconds. DBS Superleggera Volante continues the aerodynamic masterpiece of the coupe model, commanding and ex-
ploiting the surface airflow to maximum effect. At the front, the car’s splitter and airdam work in unison, accelerating airflow underneath the front of the car to deliver true downforce and assist cooling by feeding air to the front brakes. The new deeper side strake draws more air from the front wheel arch to reduce lift and aid high-speed stability. Behind the front wheels, the ‘curlicue’ allows air to escape and flow smoothly along the car’s flanks, while the double diffuser at the rear allows air to exit cleanly and neutralise lift as efficiently as possible. A revised iteration - to accommodate the Volante’s clothed roofline - of the revolutionary Aeroblade ll system continues to deliver additional downforce at the car’s rear. At VMAX, DBS Superleggera
Volante produces 177kg of downforce, just 3kg less than the coupe, an impressive feat when considering the car’s fundamental aerodynamic changes. Each dynamic driving mode brings its own level of noise too, feeding the level of emotional character and connection. In GT mode, the engine note simmers, but select Sport or Sport Plus and the acoustics become progressively more intense. Conversely, when you wish to be discreet, ‘quiet start’ offers a low-key alternative to DBS Superleggera Volante’s otherwise rousing flare of revs on start-up. The DBS Superleggera Volante is priced at £247,500 in the UK, €295,500 in Germany. Deliveries are set to begin from Q3, 2019.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher CITROEN’S C5 Aircross has powerful presence with its tall stance, imposing frontal design and big alloy wheels making it unmistakable in the crowded SUV sector where visual image is very important. A spacious five-seater with massive boot capacity and flat-fold seats also give it a high score for dayto-day practicality and with petrol and diesel engines in the line-up, manual and auto gearboxes and three trim levels, the C5 Aircross ticks all the boxes for those seeking versatile family transport. Prices start at €26,837 (£23,225) for the well-kitted Feel version, though many will opt for the mid-range Flair models which add extra features including enhanced connectivity, sat-nav and rear-view camera.

There are three independent rear seats which slide and fold and the boot space can vary from 580 litres to an impressive 1,630 litres offering maximum versatility for passenger and load combinations. Safety features include hill-start assist, reversing sensors, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, autodipping headlights, lane departure warning and a driver attention alert. The C5 Aircross competes in a hard-fought SUV sector, but it has all the credentials be be a winner. It has stand-out styling, excellent driving dynamics with arguably class-leading ride comfort. The Citroen brand has been revitalised in recent years, and now has a strong reputation for innovative and creative cars exuding plenty of French cachet, the C5 Aircross being a fine example.

Messi cleans up THE title may not have been in doubt, but Barcelona still had to send for their master Lionel Messi to clinch their eighth La Liga trophy in 11 seasons on Saturday. He came off the bench after being rested to score the only goal in a 1-0 win at home to Levante. It was his 34th league goal of the season and means Barca have taken the title with three games to spare. They have a nine-point lead over Atletico Madrid, but a better head to head record means Barca cannot be overhauled. Atletico had earlier beaten Real Valladolid 1-0 through a second half Joaquin Fernandez own goal, but they suffered a nervous few minutes as Real Valladolid searched for an equaliser in their quest to avoid relegation. It appeared they may have succeeded when Santiago Arias appeared to handle the ball in the area, but VAR ruled it was not a penalty. The result leaves Valladolid third from bottom and two points from safety. Fellow strugglers Rayo Vallecona stayed in 19th place despite a surprise 1-0 win against third placed Real Madrid. Real legend and manager Zinedine Zinane was furious, saying his players
had shown nothing from the first to the last minute. “We did nothing,” said Zidane. “Nothing at any level. Sometimes you can fail to score, but we didn’t do anything. I’m angry because it’s a bad look and I’m responsible.” He added: “I always defend my players, but not today. We can’t play like that, but I am also responsible.” Huesca stay bottom after a 11 draw away to Villareal. In the race to claim the final Champions League place it was a bad weekend for all the contenders. Surprise package Getafe are currently in the spot despite a 2-1 defeat away to Real Sociedad. Closest rivals Sevilla went down by the same score away to Girona, while Valencia suffered a 0-1 home defeat to Eibar.
Barcelona clinched their eighth league title in 11 seasons.

But before that it is the turn of MotoGP to grab the limelight. The world’s top racers will be at Jerez this weekend as the championship leaders battle it out for the exciting event. Spanish fans have high hopes of a home win and will be on the edge of their seats to see if Alex Rins can follow up his debut win in the last round with victory at the Andalucian circuit. Fellow Spaniard Marc Marquez will be out for revenge as he aims to bounce back from a crash in Austin that hit his title chances. Meanwhile Italian legend, Valentino Rossi is desperate for a podium finish to keep him in the hunt. He took second place in Austin and now occupies the same position in the championship standings - not bad for a 40-year-old. Fellow Italian Andrea Dovizioso was fourth in the last round after starting from 13th on the grid, which was good enough for him to claim top-spot in the table. Dovizioso is on 54 points with Rossi on 51, Rins on 49 and Marquez has 45 points.
SPORT THERE was a double triumph for Spanish golf in Rabat when Jorge Campillo and Nuria Iturrios won the Trophee Hassan II and Lalla Meryem Cup respectively. Fist to take the laurels was Iturrios who sealed her second Ladies European Tour win by seven shots. Both her wins have come in this event, with the previous one coming in 2016. A few hours later her countryman sealed his first tour victory on his 229th start. No-one was particularly surprised as in the form he has been in a win was coming soon - he had placed second in three of his last four tour events. “Sooner or later if you play as well as he’s been doing this year the win was going to

Spanish double win
come,” said one of his European Tour colleagues after Campillo scooped the win. The final day had not started well for Campillo, with bogeys at the second and third holes. But the second of those may have felt like a par after
he sank a tricky putt - he could easily have dropped two shots. A 15-foot par putt on the seventh was equally as important for the 32-year-old, with Campillo putting his victory down to his recent near misses.
WINNERS: Iturrios and Campillo in Morocco.
He said after the event: “The Qatar Masters this year was really close and one that hurt. I felt like I made mistakes coming in and I think that was a tipping point really. I learned lessons.” Commenting on his par sav-
ing putt on the seventh he said: “I told my caddie that we’d got through the tough spell.” He was proved right when he made birdies at the eighth and the 11th which meant he went into the last few leaders tied for the lead with pre-round leader Erik van Rooyen, who had himself dropped shots. Birdies at the 16th and 17th saw him approach the last with a two-shot lead. A solid par meant he signed for a 71 and a nine under-par 283 for the tournament. There was precious little drama for Iturrios who simply brushed aside the opposition with an imperious display. She had started the day tied with Lina Boqvist, but quickly took the lead with birdies at the second and third. She then parred the last nine while Boqvist imploded with a last round 77. The win leaves Iturrios top of the LET Order of Merit.
Cutting Costa ACCORDING to reports in Mundo Deportivo Atletico Madrid have finally tired of the behaviour of their Spanish international striker Diego Costa and put him up for sale. He is currently serving an eight-match ban after being red-carded in the recent loss against Barcelona. He compounded the offence by using foul language to insult the referee, as well as ‘man handling’ the official. The report says that head coach Diego Simeone wants to hold on to the Brazilian-born player, but senior management now see Costa as a liability. The 30-year-old has played 28 matches this season, scoring seven goals.
