By Johanna Rebuffo “LET me try,” were the simple words of Soraya, a woman who is fighting not just cancer but a bureaucracy that seems to be getting in the way of her treatment. She has already been through a bone marrow transplant but has relapsed and her body is too weak to withstand chemotherapy. Soraya Perez Bradley, is a 33year-old woman from Benalmadena who was diagnosed in July 2017 with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a very resistant cancer with poor prognosis. A recent biopsy shows carcinogenic levels of 40 per cent. EWN was at a press conference in Malaga City Hall when the approval for immunotherapy treatment from the Junta de Andalucia was announced.

FAR RIGHT: Vox leader Santiago Abascal on the campaign trail.
Socialists bounce back THE Socialist PSOE party has regained Andalucia as its bedrock of power in the general election. But the rise of the far right Vox party continues, with it claiming six Andalucian seats in the national parliament. Slightly less right wing Ciudadanos also made gains as the vote share of the conservative PP collapsed. The PSOE gained four seats to take their number of deputies from Andalucia to 24, while the PP lost more than half their seats (from 23 to 11). This means they are now level with Ciudadanos in An-
dalucia, who also have 11 seats. Left wing coalition Podemos-IU lost two seats to finish on nine deputies from the region. On the Costa del Sol Malaga’s richest municipality, Benahavis, became the first in the province to see Vox become the biggest party by share of vote. It captured 23.48 per cent of votes cast, just ahead of the PP (22.97 per cent) and Ciudadanos (22.84 per cent). All the socialist parties between them could only muster just under 28 per cent of the vote in the municipality. See The Week in Politics, page 10.

CITY DAY: Spain marks Madrid Day today (Thursday).
Capital celebrates THIS picture of Madrid City Hall comes as the Spanish capital and the surrounding region celebrates its annual holiday today (Thursday). Madrid City has a population of almost 3.3 million while its metropolitan area has one of roughly 6.5 million. It is the third-largest city in Europe after London and Berlin. The city, which covers an area of more than 604 square kilometres, was named the 10th most liveable in the world by Monocle magazine in 2017.
It is the seat of government and the royal family and is home to two of the country’s most popular football teams, Real and Atletico Madrid. The city was founded sometime in the 9th century and the first documented reference to it comes from a Moorish source while Spain was under Muslim rule. Its original Arabic name, Majrit, comes from a fortress built on the Manzanares River. The city was conquered by the Christian Kingdom of Castile in
1085. In following centuries rulers and officials met in Madrid more often before King Philip II established the royal court there in 1561, making the city the de facto capital. 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.

On investigation they found the documentation to confirm the origins and legality of t h e a r t e f a c t s w a s f o rg e d , and this led them to an antiques dealer in Antequera (Malaga). There they found 60 columns, busts and plinths which had been illegally acquired, plus a small private museum with more archaeological treasures. The investigations then led them to a dealer in Torremolinos where more than 400 items including jewellery were found, then on to Lucena where another 3,100 treasures were discovered.
Fake worker NATIONAL POLICE have arrested a fake electrician who preyed on elderly people living alone. He would gain access to their homes by claiming to be from an electric company and needing to check their electricity installations before pocketing any cash or valuables he found on the premises.

This led to them discovering a total of five similar cases in a small area of Marbella, with all the victims being elderly and alone. Police advise people to never open the door if at all suspicious, and to phone the electricity or gas company to confirm identities. Such checks are usually made by appointment.

All are invited to the event in Mijas’s main square at around 1pm for a giant paella (€5 including a drink). There will also be a walk around the village for those who want to take part, with snacks and refreshments en route
(€5). There are already 150 people registered for the event, but anyone is welcome to go along. The only stipulation is that all participants must wear a red dress - even the men! The idea is to have an enjoyable day out and raise cash for Avoi, which for 25 years has been changing the lives of children (0-17 years old) within the wards of the hospital. Their big dream is to transform the
bone marrow transplant wing into a magical Neverland, full of fantasy, and where, in addition to getting medical treatment, the children can live with their illness in a very special way. All money raised from both events will be given to Avoi to rebuild the Bone Marrow Transplant Wing and bring a smile to these terminally ill children. For more information: www.mi jash3.com.

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.

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.

‘Illegal’ taxi driver fined POLICE in Spain have ‘immobilised’ a pirate taxi after the driver tried to charge three tourists €12 for a trip which was just a 100metre walk. Algeciras Local Police in the south of Spain leapt into action after spotting three people approaching a Renault Scenic near the ferry terminal. They say the taxi driver planned to charge
the three tourists €4 each for the trip which was just a 100-metre walk away in a straight line; although the ‘taxi’ would need to take a detour. The unlicensed local driver now faces a fine of €1,380 for breaking local regulations and also the cost of recovering his vehicle from the municipal compound where it was taken by a recovery truck.
SPANISH GIANT: The banking group headquarters in Madrid (pictured).
Banking changes SPANISH banking group BBVA has announced plans to unify its branding and bring all its subsidiaries around the world under one name. The move means the group will discontinue using country-specific names, including Bancomer in Mexico and Frances in Argentina. The Garanti Turkish franchise will also
change its name to Garanti BBVA, consolidating the group’s image globally. The announcement was made at a meeting attended online and in person by almost 126,000 people. At the event, BBVA also revealed its new logo, as well as plans to offer its customers the best service in an increasingly digital age.
Insurance fraud THREE people have been arrested in Cataluña on suspicion of committing a €76,000 medical insurance fraud. The group, two residents of Cervera and one from Guissona, are also accused of document forgery after they allegedly falsified medical reports to claim compensation. According to Catalan po-
lice, the investigation began eight months ago following a complaint from an insurance company about alleged scams committed by four people in the Lleida region of La Segarra. The company claimed the suspects had ‘fraudulently’ collected compensation for fractures despite not having
been signed off for sick leave in the periods they had allegedly suffered the injuries. The detainees, a 37 and 31year-old from Egypt, and a 31year-old from Romania are accused of submitting nearidentical medical reports to justify their injuries, leading the insurance company to investigate further.

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.
ABUSE OF POWER: Police have arrested a doctor after sexual abuse reports. A DOCTOR in Valencia has been arrested on suspicion of abusing four patients. The 60-year-old Spanish man has been accused of inappropriately touching and flirting with several women in the town of Alfafar. Police began investigating after a woman
claimed her family doctor had begun hugging, kissing and touching her during a consultation. She alleged it was not the first time he had tried to do this. Following her complaint, officers began interviewing several other possible victims, including women aged between 40 and 70 years old.
Paying the climate bill TWO Greenpeace activists climbed the statue of Christopher Columbus in Barcelona and fastened a snorkelling mask to its head. After scaling the 57-metre monument to attach the mask they also unfurled a banner alluding to the candidates’ disregard for climate change as a campaign topic. ‘Think, vote, act!’ declared the banner attached to Columbus’s arm that points towards the New World.
Maria Jose Caballero, Greenpeace’s assistant programmes director stressed to the Spanish news agency Efe, That the Columbus stunt was ‘peaceful.’ The pre-election Day of Reflection was deliberately chosen to encourage society to think, reflect and act, said Caballero who criticised politicians’ indifference to the climate crisis during the election campaign. She went on to explain that
the diving mask referred to rising sea levels worldwide, which were one of the principal effects of climate change. Greenpeace began a climate awareness campaign more than two weeks ago, hanging a giant bill from the Colon towers in Madrid that proclaimed, ‘They are costing us our lives. They are costing us the Planet. Don’t pay the bill.’ “We shall be here until they listen to us,” Caballero said.
Not fracking likely! IN 2015 the Canadian company BNK Petroleum intended to prospect for gas in north Burgos. BNK believed the area was potentially one of the best in Spain for extraction via fracking. Four years later, the company has gone no further and does not expect to. According to the Ministry of the Environment only Hunosa and Volta Enery in Asturias and Aragon have applied for prospection licences since 2014 but the first project is halted owing to its high cost and the
second because fracking is barred in Aragon. “Explorations using nonconventional methods are nonexistent,” said Angel Camara, spokesman for Spain’s Upper Council of Mining Engineers. The expense, coupled to poor profits only partly explains the big companies’ lack of interest. Experts claimed that they were put off by the Castor debacle when earth tremors scuppered plans to store gas in an abandonded oil field off Castellon, and cost the Administration huge sums in compensation.
“Things slowed down after Castor and officials scrutinise everything very closely now,” they said. Public opinion and protests against fracking in the Mediterranean had also adversely affected prospecting, which Spain’s Climate Change laws now ban, Angel Camara said. It was one thing to prohibit fracking, he said, but another to ban prospections, he maintained. “As a concept, investigation always makes sense although it’s another matter whether it’s applied or not.”

BREXIT BRIEF Second referendum debate reignited THE publicity surrounding Britain’s two new political parties and their European election campaigns has reignited the debate about a second referendum. The two groups, Change UK and the Brexit Party, have both set out their stalls on completely opposing ends of the political spectrum. Change UK has labelled itself as the ‘natural home of the remain alliance,’ while the Brexit Party is squarely behind leaving the European Union. 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 sets sights on general election 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, 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 elec-

Unions criticised the choice of April 28 for the general election and pointed out no political party made any mention during their campaigns of the need to curb workplace deaths and accidents. More than 652 died in work-related accidents in Spain during 2018, the worst figures for the last seven years. They called on the new government to act against precarious and deteriorated
work conditions and to repeal labour reforms introduced by their predecessors. Ministry of Employment figures reveal fewer employees died in work-related accidents during the economic crisis, as there was a considerably reduced workforce. As more jobs were created, fatal accidents increased, rising from 458 in 2013 to last year’s 652. The majority of 2018’s deaths occurred during the working day, while 146 people were killed on the way to work.

Private helicopter search for missing DJ THE family of Rem Kingston, 31, a DJ who went missing on a ferry in Spain on March 22 has appealed for the public’s help as they intensify their search to find him. They have set up a crowdfunding page with a £10,000 target to raise money for a private helicopter search which has, so far, proved fruitless. The pilot has donated his time free of charge. Rem was last seen on the Hypatia de Alejandria ferry as it travelled between Ibiza and Mallorca. “Spanish police have been extremely helpful,” say the family, “However their resources and time are limited, so we are trying to raise funds to continue the search for Rem in every way we can. Your help will allow us to work with local experts on land, sea and air with the hopes of bringing Rem home.” Sister Megan Kingston-Scannell said: “Police believe he may have disembarked from the ferry in Palma, Ibiza or Valencia after becoming paranoid, fearful and untrusting of other people. “He may have become scared and hid, and disembarked on the ferry’s return to Ibiza/Valencia or is in Palma.” There has been a possible sighting in Valencia. “It’s crucial you inform the police even if you’re not sure if it’s Rem. “He will look different to his photographs now through not shaving, longer head hair and tiredness.”

CATALAN rapper Pablo Hasel spent a night in police cells in Vinaroz (Castellon) in order to hand him a summons.

RETIRED engineer Antonio Moreno Alfaro has accused Endesa of overcharging consumers almost €11 million since 2010. The power company charged users an extra 33 cents a month although not all were integrated into its remotecontrolled meter-reading network, the 75-year-old maintained. Consumers’ association Facua made - and won - a similar case in 2014, where Endesa had to return €1.39 million and pay a €400,000 fine. Moreno worked for an electricity meter company, but was sacked when he was 51 because he refused to take part in what he called ‘dirty business.’ Since then he spends much of his time uncovering irregularities in electricity bills and has accused ministers and denounced ex-presidents of the government, sometimes winning and sometimes losing. The engineer now wants the Junta to cancel the Facua verdict and seize €10.8 million from Endesa while increasing the fine to between €48 million and €480 million, as the courts only obliged the company to return what was overcharged in 2014.

WATER TRANSFER: An aqueduct in Carrascosa del Campo (Cuenca).
Water cost of climate change CLIMATE change will cause the Iberian Peninsula to suffer more and more water shortages, at a serious financial cost. At the moment much of Spain’s agriculture, industry and population relies on a transfer of water between the Tagus and Segura water catchment basins, But a new study on climate change effects on the Tagus-Se-
gura transfer forecasts that by the year 2070 it will not be possible to transfer water, if present projections are fulfilled. Since 1979, the Segura basin has been receiving water from the Tagus River, the longest in the Iberian Peninsula, thanks to one of the largest engineering hydraulic works in Spain. Forty years later, the flow transferred
is increasingly scarce due to a factor which was not taken into account at the time of construction; climate change. Scarcer rainfall and rising temperatures will cause major fluvial alterations, especially in rivers which depend on groundwater discharges and snow thawing. ‘In recent years, transfers to
the Segura river basin from the headwaters of the Tagus have been much lower than planned. ‘Instead of the theoretical 540 hm3/year which should arrive, there have been flows into the Segura river basin of about 365 hm3/year on average,’ according to a study published in the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences.

‘Fake news’ tool TWITTER has launched a new tool to prevent misinformation being spread during election campaigns. The new function, now available in India and the European Union, has been launched in time for next month’s EU elections, as well as Spain’s local elections. The tool will make it easier for users to report any false information which may affect the outcome of elections, as this ‘goes against the values of t h e c o m p a n y, ’ a c c o r d i n g to Twitter. The company said: “Voting is a fundamental right and the public debate which occurs on Twitter during an election period is important.” Twitter said it wanted to remind users they cannot use misinformation to manipulate the outcome of an election.

Cetaceans at risk MARINE WILDLIFE: In danger of collisions with boats at sea.
EXPERTS are alarmed by the continuous death of Cetaceans in the Canary Islands due to collisions with boats and the lack of protocol. And they have warned that overfishing in the Mediterranean is one of the causes behind the stranding cetaceans. A dozen cetaceans have reportedly been killed and dragged to the coast on the islands this year. And there is apparently no specific anticollision protocol with guidelines to reduce the risk of collision with cetaceans.
Marine biologist Natacha Aguilar proposes training sailors to learn the legal and technical aspects of collisions, in addition to other practical aspects to prioritise both maritime security and protected wildlife. Aguilar says collisions are a problem in the Canary Islands because “it houses the greatest wealth of cetaceans in Spain, and this coincides with high marine traffic, but the collisions with large cetaceans add a maritime security problem, given that the ship and the crew can suffer damage and even shipwreck.”

US marine detained
Mother and son found dead in cave A HUGE search by emergency services and volunteers discovered the dead bodies of a missing mother and her son in a cave on a Spanish island after the alarm was raised by a six-year-old boy. Members of the Guardia Civil and the Emergency Military Unit, together with Local Police officers, firefighters and a Canary Island rescue team found the bodies after several intense hours of searching last Wednesday. The search was triggered after another child escaped from an alleged attack on the family by his father. The youngest was found ‘disorientated’ by hikers. Sources close to the investigation said that the six-year-old boy had told Guardia Civil officers that “there was a lot of blood” when he fled the scene in a wooded area of Ifonche on the Canary Island of Tenerife. Officers believe the woman and children had travelled from Germany to Tenerife to visit the father, of German nationality, when the assault took place. The man was arrested and reportedly refused to answer police questions.

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.
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 US. In a letter published as ‘Information on Madrid,’ the CCD stated the assault responded to ‘an urgent situation’ at the Embassy, and underlined ‘weapons’ were not used out of respect for Spain.

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 r e c o m m e n d p a s sengers inform us of their a l l e rg y a t t h e t i m e o f 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.

Likewise, the administrator of Salvador Vila SL, Salvador Vila and the administrator of Urbanas de Levante SL and former president of Valencia Football Club, Juan Bautista Soler, were also sentenced as accomplices to four months in prison. The four, however, have been acquitted of misappropriation. The offences relate to real estate transactions in Alicante

The court decided that Parra did not ‘follow the protocols Banco de Valencia established in its Manual of Procedures and without following the recommendations previously made by the Bank of Spain to carry out risk assessments and he did not properly analyse the operations rigorously.’

THE first Game of Thrones feature film is to be premiered in Sevilla this summer. 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. It is the brainchild of journalism student Maria Barcenas who assembled a team of more than 100 film technicians and actors to recreate some of the highlights from the eight series of the world-wide phenomena. She managed to get the blessing of HBO before embarking on the ambitious project, in which she revisited the settings used in the original series in Sevilla
€18 million fraud probe NATIONAL POLICE have arrested 26 people out of 36 investigated for social security fraud amounting to more than €18 million. Last summer 18 complaints were received by the authorities with regards to the alleged crimes and 36 suspects were investigated. The authorities carried out an operation in collaboration with the general treasury of social security. A network of up to 17 companies (13 debtors and four assets) were allegedly formed by the group to evade the owed payments. During the operation, it was revealed that the ‘plot leader’ had put the companies in his three-year-old daughter’s name.

Game of Thrones feature film in Spain
LOCATION: Game of Thrones feature film used original locations in Sevilla like the Real Alcazar (pictured). and at the Castillo de Alcala de Guadaira. HBO made the condition that no images from the original series were to be used; they had to be filmed anew. The project started when as part of her degree Maria started a Facebook group c a l l e d J u e g o d e Tr o n o s -
Recreacion (Game of Thrones Recreation), to see if anyone was interested in getting involved. After getting the goahead from HBO Maria approached the University of Sevilla who gave her a grant to get the ball rolling. The team has selected
key scenes for the recreation and worked from the original scripts. Now filming is complete, production company Seven Kingdom’s Studios says it will premiere in Seviila this summer, with the film also being screened in several cinemas across Spain.
Sri Lanka bomber ‘studied in the UK’ ONE of the nine people suspected of carrying out Easter Sunday’s terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka reportedly studied at a university in the UK. As more details of the atrocities emerge, Sri Lankan state officials have revealed the suspects were all highly-educated.

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.

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 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 recent boom in house prices, with properties in Malaga alone rising in price by 11.1 per cent in 2018, as well as a raft of new developments, means the Costa del Sol remains one of the world’s hottest property destinations. Last year in Malaga Province, sales among international buyers rose by 5 per cent from the previous year, with an average of more than 2,700 transactions per month. Even further growth can be seen among the new-builds market, with sales increasing by 7 per cent last year, taking these types of transactions to 19 per cent of all property sales in the province.

While the British expatriate market is expected to remain strong, experts say the Costa del Sol will continue to draw in investors from around the world, including Belgium, the Middle East, the Americas, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Russia, and Asia. One area of the Costa del Sol in particular is said to be increasingly up and coming among property hunters; Estepona. This 21-kilometre stretch of
coastline, as well as more than 100 square kilometres of fertile inland continues to attract major investment. Following a large-scale beautification project of the town’s centre, which saw upgrades to its parks, plants and streets, Estepona is becoming a mid to high-end property destination for second home buyers. This popular year-round destination has also caught the attention of several large developers, including Taylor Wimpey, who are planning to build between 350 and 400 homes across the Costa del Sol, Alicante, Mallorca and Ibiza. The company has set its sights on a €12.3 million investment in La Galera, Estepona, building 48 townhouses. The project could mean a big boost for Estepona; in total, more than 2,500 families from up to 30 different nationalities have acquired a Taylor Wimpey Spain home on the Costa del Sol in the last decade.

Grow your wealth HEN 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 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
W
INVESTMENT: Buying property is a smart move. 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 short term, 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.

Rents continue to rise RENTS in Spain have risen by an average of 2.4 per cent during the first quarter of 2019. The average price per square-metre when renting a home now stands at €10.7 per month, according to a report by Idealista property website. Fernando Encinar, head of studies at Idealista, said: “During the first quarter, prices have been fairly weak across all regions, but in cities like Madrid rather than a slowdown there seems to have been a slight acceleration.” He is putting the responsibility for such rises at the doorstep of the government, saying: “The data confirms what we have been saying for years: the rental market is regulated without the need for intervention by the State and when the State acts it produces effects contrary to those desired.” In addition to price rises, the latest changes introduced into the market by royal decree have led, among other things, to rents signed in the last six months being governed by three different legislative regimes, depending on the day on which they were signed. In this sense, an extension of the duration of contracts has led to landlords being more choosy about tenants. This has made it harder for the most disadvantaged people such as single-parent households and pensioners to find affordable rented accommodation. Madrid and Cataluña are the most expensive communities to rent a home in (€14.5m2 and €13.8m2 respectively). They are followed by the Balearic Islands (€12.8m2) and below them are the Basque Country (€11.2m2) and the Canary Islands (€9.6m2). At the other end of the scale are Extremadura (€5m2), Castilla La Mancha (€5.2m2) and La Rioja (€5.9 m2).

Buying ‘off-plan’ WITH a bouyant property market in Spain, people are looking for cheaper ways to buy their property. One way of getting a property for less is to buy ‘off-plan,’ which is estimated to give a 15 per cent saving over buying an existing property. Whilst buying property by this route may show a saving, there can be some risks involved, such as the developer going bust and failing to complete the building. This happened during the financial crash a decade ago. Safeguards are now in place, including bank guarantees (it is advisable to get your own in this respect rather than a group one). The developer is also now required by law to secure all the deposits they hold against a bank guarantee. The buyer should also com-
plete further checks to ensure that the developer has all the relevant permissions in place including the Building Licence issued by the local authority, that the land is actually registered to them and
that the developer has their own separate insurance against structural damage to the building. They will also need to get a Cadastral certificate, showing the land, the boundaries together with a planning certificate to show any planning restrictions, footpaths etc. Before completion, the buyer should also be issued with a Licence of first occupation by the local authority, which details compliance with the planning permission and that the building is habitable. Buying any property can prove problematic and it is always important to obtain the assistance of an accredited and independent lawyer before signing any contract and before paying a deposit.
OFF PLAN: Another option when buying a home.

NO CONCERNS: Rental prices fell in Barcelona in 2018.
‘No property bubble’ X P E R T S have reassured investors there is ‘no rental bubble,’ after final figures for 2018 were revealed. Fernando Encinar, head of research at Idealista, said the rate of property price growth
E
was slowing, relieving experts’ fears that too much growth, too quickly could lead to a housing bubble. While property prices grew by a healthy 9.3 per cent in Spain in 2018 - and are projected to rise by a further 5 per cent in 2019 - this figure
is lower than the 18 per cent growth seen in 2017, which had led to some fears Spain was repeating the same pattern seen before its financial crash in 2008. In Barcelona in 2018, rental prices even fell for the second consecutive year by 1 per cent to
€17.30 per square metre a month. Similarly, rental rates fell by 1.5 per cent in Madrid in the last three months of last year. According to Mr Encinar: “The numbers prove what we have been saying at Idealista for ages; there is no
rental bubble. And if there has been, the data shows that it is deflating. Prices have risen throughout Spain in 2018, but this growth is already far from those of previous years.” He added: “In the coming months we will see rent prices stabilise
and enter a phase of plateauing or even more falls. In some areas there may be a tension in prices, but it will be based on a high demand that clashes with a lack of supply in those streets. But in general we expect a moderation of prices.”

What’s your house worth? F you are looking to sell a property the first thing that springs to mind is how much to ask. Your estate agent should be able to give you an expert opinion on pricing and you can pay for a professional valuation too, but sometimes it is good for your peace of mind to settle on a figure you are happy to achieve independently, and see if they match. One of the best ways to determine the asking price is to look at comparable sales. There’s rarely a perfect apples-to-apples com-

parison, so a pricing decision often relies on comparisons to several recent sales in the area. Here are five criteria to look for in a sales comparison. L o c a t i o n: H o m e s i n t h e same neighbourhood typically follow the same market trends. Comparing your home to another in the same area is a good start, but comparing it to homes on the same street or block is even better.

home’s price, and so can less flashy upgrades like a new roof or air-conditioning. Be sure to look for similar bells and whistles. S a l e t y p e s: H o m e s t h a t are sold as short sales or foreclosures are often in distress or sold at a lower price than they’d receive
from a more typical sale. These homes are not as useful for comparisons. If you want to make a sale in a timely manner, be realistic about the price you set. But remember, it is a lot easier to reduce the price to clinch a sale then to put the price up!

OU’VE probably heard the rule: Save for a 20 per cent down payment before you buy a home. The logic behind saving 20 per cent is solid, as it shows that you have the financial discipline and stability to save for a long-term goal. It also helps you get favourable rates from lenders. Indeed, in Spain most banks require a minimum 20 per cent deposit before giving a mortgage. However, there are other lenders who will give up to 100 per cent loans, if you shop around. There can actually be financial benefits to putting down a smaller down payment rather than parting with so much cash up front, even if you have the money available. The downsides of a small down payment are pretty well

When not to pay a deposit
Make sure you explore your financing options. ne of the first considerations, when buying a house in Spain is the type of community you want to live in and the type of property. For those of you who want the urban lifestyle, near to chic restaurants, nightlife and incredible culture, then, like the vast majority of Spaniards, you should consider buying or renting an apartment. The flats in Spain tend to be larger and more open than apartments, than those in say, England and the majority will have a balcony or terrace to enjoy the fresh air. For people who want to live a more isolated lifestyle, with a back to nature feel, then the houses of the ‘Campo’ (or countryside) should be a consideration. Given that the majority of the local population tend to be very sociable people, they do not want to live such an isolated existence and therefore bargains can be found. Beware though, there are strict rules as to the amount of building permitted on any given plot of ‘agricultural’

have mains water, mains sewage, electricity or telephone, let alone the internet. In some houses, they do not have a telephone line and no internet signal. Shops and medical facilities can also be a trek away and could in-

known. Over the years you will pay more in interest, and don’t overlook you will probably have to pay higher mortgage insurance premiums. You’ll also be offered a lesser loan amount than borrowers who have a 20 per cent down payment, which will eliminate some homes from your search. On the other hand, with home prices rising - anywhere between 5 to 14 per cent a year on the Spanish costas in 2018 - the increase in equity is the same whether you put down 20 per cent or less. If you’re looking at your home as an investment, putting down a smaller amount can lead to a higher return on investment, while also leaving more of your savings free for home repairs, upgrades, or other investment opportunities. Of course, your home payment options aren’t binary. Most borrowers can find some common ground between the security of a traditional 20 per cent and an investment-focused, small down payment. Your trusted estate agent can provide some answers as you explore your financing options. tions, of more modern housing, will generally have access to most modern facilities, but may still be somewhat removed from bars and shops. You may also find that the only Spanish neighbours you may have will only live in their villa during the summer holiday period. Many expats of various nationalities tend to live in such communities, so it will not be unusual for a person to have a multitude of nationalities surrounding them. The other alternative location is to live in a village or small town. Living in such places is different from most English equivalent places. The facilities are far better, with bars, public swimming pools, doctors and pharmacies located in most villages. There is a real sense of community and a chance to integrate with the local Spanish community, which is great for those that want to learn the language. Against this, the majority of houses in the villages will tend to have little or no garden and the rules regarding the installation of swimming pools are strict and prohibitive.

Statistics tell us that more than half of these fatalities are the result of falls, of which the majority affect those over 65.

Staying safe in the home SAFE HANDS: Make sure your home is proofed against danger.
The home is often the scene for serious accidents.
Safety outside WELL-MAINTAINED roofs including tiles, chimney stacks, television aerials, gutter systems, loose masonry, crumbling concrete or brickwork, these are the things that can become airborne in heavy winds and become projectiles, potentially lethal or can cause an immense amount of damage. Well-planned access in good condition; non-slip, level pathways at the correct dimensions, riser heights and steps built with solid material. Adequate, well-sited outdoor lighting, you can buy solar-powered light kits, easy to install for under €10 and they last a long time. Glazed doors with toughened or laminated glass can help avoid injury if they get broken. Glass should have some sort of decorative treatments (such as opaque or patterned glass) even if just a band across at eye level and at a lower level for pets and children, some people use decals (stickers). Storage should be adequate for flammable fuels, well ventilated and account for local regulations. Lock-
the home. But fatal or not, many of these accidents could certainly have been prevented. So the first thing you should do when moving into a new home is to take a look at safety. Making your home a safe place is your responsibility. Prevention means planning at the beginning: choosing home furnishings and equipment for their ‘safety qualities’ the flame-retardant paint or upholstery fabric, for example, the gas valve date checked, is the gas bottle housed outside or ventilated. Properly tested electrics, including appliances. Non-slip floor finishes and so on. Some imports may not have the appropriate safety components built in, therefore they should be checked. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice good design for safety; truly good design incorporates safety into its dimensions.
Safety indoors able outside storage for tools, paints varnishes, weed killers, etc is also a must. Those with upper storey windows up to 900mm from floor to ceiling should have safety catches or fixed vertical bars if they don’t have security grills (rejas), ideally they should be removable in case of an emergency. Electricity sockets should be heavy duty weather proof exterior grade. Balconies should be checked. They are made from concrete with a steel reinforcing bar. If the metal isn’t covered sufficiently by concrete or some waterproof barrier applied, water and carbon dioxide will attack the metal causing it to rust and expand up to eight times in size. Balconies can and do collapse. Clean chimneys don’t catch fire. Make sure a certified chimney sweep inspects your solid fuel venting system annually and sweeps and repairs it whenever needed. Your sweep may have other maintenance recommendations depending on how you use your fireplace or stove.
PLANNING and maintenance are preventative measures. Heating systems and electrical supply need extra focus. Ventilation is important and needs to be free from obstructions - anything that emits carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide always needs its own closed systems. Sensors for carbon monoxide and fire detectors should be installed in proximity. Gas bottles that leak in a non-ventilated space can ignite from something as simple as turning on a light switch, causing an explosion. The regulators have a date stamped on them and need to be changed. Electricity supply should be installed by professionals. Appliances certificated and maintained by competent installers. Ample sockets should be fitted in rooms to avoid trailing cords. Floors should be non-slip and easy to clean. Dirty floors can attract unwanted insects which carry hundreds of different pathogens, including Salmonella, Staphylococcus, E coli. Buying online is so easy now days -
just be mindful of the safety certification authenticity: fire-resistant for furniture, fabrics and even wall coverings is required. Any medicines should be out of reach and locked away. Cleaning products, detergents, lighters and matches all should be unreachable or locked away from young children and never use a bottle or container that originally had contents meant for consumption for storing harmful liquids. Food storage should be adequate to keep out insects like pantry moths and be cleaned regularly. Packets, once opened, should be resealed they will find a way in and lay their eggs. Why do you see in, some Spanish villages, bottles of water on door steps and CDs hanging in rows in front of windows and open doors? Plastic bottles on the door step are placed there to stop dogs marking their territory and then other dogs doing the same and CDs are hung by string diffracting sunlight to deter flies and birds that carry fleas become disoriented.

Work-ready space OME buyers’ wish-lists these days often include space for an office. A computer is virtually as common a household item as a TV, and if you add a printer into the mix, then a workspace nook becomes an essential. Thanks to modern technology, working from home is increasingly the norm; it is more than possible to be permanently based on the Spanish costas while not earning a living locally. Many retirees who locate here also find they need work areas, especially anyone involved with running a local club, society or charity. To be as productive as possible, and to take full advantage of all the benefits working at home brings, it helps to have a decent home office. The first step for creating a workready area whatever the available space which promotes efficiency, but at the same time blends with the rest

of the property, is to think about priorities. This means considering the most basic needs, starting with musthave office items depending on the nature of the work: lamp, printer, filing cabinets, telephone, and so on. There should be an electrical socket conveniently close by. The space should also ideally offer some level of privacy from the general activity of family life. It might be necessary to get creative to end up with an attractive home office blending functional and decorate elements, and which doesn’t occupy too much space. There has to be room for a desk: turning the kitchen table into a work area is far from ideal. One idea is to build your own desk using filing cabinets at the base and a wood or laminate countertop as the top. Just as vital is a comfortable chair, ideally one both supporting and aesthetically pleasing. A bright, pat-

terned cushion could add just the right touch of homeliness. Storage space can be an issue in smaller properties, but again in most cases something for keeping files and papers will be an essential. Custom-made shelving could well be the best solution, or how about a vintage wooden box or two. Baskets and colourful organisers also create the order you need. Bearing in mind the amount of time likely to be spent in the work space, probably one of the most essential considerations when planning the
area is light. An appealing corner of the home with plenty of natural light is perfect, but if not possible then good lighting which doesn’t create computer screen glare is important. A colourful geometric rug adds an extra dimension, and a potted plant or two adds a splash of natural colour. The overall goal is to end up with a space which doesn’t look like a conventional office, but provides a personalised, calming and inspiring working environment.

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.

Why is my computer so slow! YOUR computer starts to slow down and before you know it, simple actions can seem to take a very long time! Here are a few reasons why you might need to contact a computer specialist for help! HDD Space Your internal hard drive needs to have enough free space on it for your operating system and other applications to function. The general rule of thumb is that you should keep 15 per cent of your entire internal HD free, but the more free space you have, the better. Sometimes a failing hard drive can be the cause of a slow computer; make sure you check the fitness of your drive and do regular backups! RAM Each computer has a certain amount or RAM which stands for Random Access Memory. The amount of RAM you have is directly correlated to the amount of processing power your computer has. The more RAM you have, the more processing power you have. PCs and some Macs have the option of upgrading your RAM; this is relatively cheap, and easy enough to do.
32 or 64-bit Some programs come in 32 or 64-bit versions. Most processors on machines these days are 64-bit, but if you’re not aware of what the difference is, it’s easy to accidentally install a 32-bit version of something. The main difference is that 32-bit processors only access four gigs of RAM on your machine at a given time. Malware Remember the time you downloaded and installed Flash because that weird site told you you needed to update the application? Then you clicked ‘agree’ to everything which followed? All of a sudden you now have antivirus software running on your machine? You agreed to install malware on your computer. That malware can be doing lots of stuff, like producing pop-ups and running in the background without you even knowing it. It will however cause your computer to run slower! Remember you should service your computer like you service your car! If you find yourself with a slow computer for whatever reason, Computer City can help! Contact Marcus on 616 160 474 today!

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.

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.

The debatable debate
Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
IT was typical of the state of politics everywhere, and especially Spanish politics, that there had to be a debate about the debate. It was a let-down anyway, because Spain’s Electoral Committee decided that Vox couldn’t have its say along with Sanchez, Casado, Rivera and Iglesias because the rabidly ultraright-wing party does not have parliamentary representation. The argument that it definitely will after Sunday carried no weight, and Sanchez’s attempt to circumnavigate the veto by holding the debate on the private Atresmedia channel backfired. In the event the four held forth on the state broadcaster TVE as well as Atresmedia, but what they had to say paled into insignificance compared with getting them there. Supposedly it’s better to travel hopefully than to arrive, and it was more riveting to follow the politics of arranging the debatable debates than actually hearing them.
The Moncloa syndrome JEREMY CORBYN is likely to refuse to move into Number 10 should he win the next
general election. He would tell Whitehall chiefs ‘I’ll be happier at home’ if he ever became PM, according to the Daily Mail. That’s what Mariano Rajoy said when the Partido Popular won Spain’s general elections in 2011. He had no wish to move into the Moncloa
A dogmatic travesty
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
WHO would have thought it? Pablo Iglesias lauding the Constitution and pledging to fulfil and not demolish it during the pre-election debates! After all, not so long ago, he was agitating to boot out the Generation of ’78, but changing nappies for several months while on paternity leave must have given the Podemos supremo time to reflect. Probably he decided that implementing and respecting Spain’s Constitution isn’t a bad way of ensuring democracy will still be flourishing by the time his babies have full control over their sphincters.

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.

cated in Paseo de la Castellana in the centre of Madrid although he lived in his own home. This was soon deemed unpractical, again on security grounds, and the government offices, together with Suarez and his family, moved to the Moncloa Palace. But Suarez, like others who followed, was eventually afflicted by the notorious Moncloa syndrome brought on by isolation, adulation and boredom. Funny place, Moncloa; everybody wants to get there, but nobody likes it once they’re in.
Time for reflection
THE election campaign brought us the spectacle of a PP politician campaigning in Cataluña and declaring ‘No Pasaran!’ Presumably he was referring to the pro-independence parties hoping for a Catexit, but he was saying it 83 years too late in the wrong context. And Dolores Ibarruri must have been turning in her grave to hear her words turned into a dogmatic travesty.
Keyboard warriors Mike Senker In my opinion
Palace with his wife and two sons, he said, but was told that remaining in his own home would be unworkable and a security risk. Given the unfortunate possibility that Corbyn could win Britain’s next general election, doubtless he will be told the same thing. When Adolfo Suarez was named president in 1976, the seat of government was still lo-

Marbella Moments by Nicole King LEARNING a language can be more than communicating to express our needs. With the words comes insight into the culture and the people who speak them. I’ve always been fascinated by words, perhaps because it took me so long to learn how to read; which I understand now was due to dyslexia and not laziness or stupidity. It was this problem however, which had me study Roget’s Thesaurus to be able to identify as many words as I could to get through the school day. I found all the nuances quite fascinating! This did not prepare me however for taking up Spanish where I also had to get my head around inanimate objects being either female or male and the verb ‘to be’ having two translations, for permanent things and temporary things. Death being considered temporary as per the Catholic religion as there is an after life. As I say, these little distinctions are fascinating and there are so many which have struck a chord with me over the past 40 years of living be-
By David Worboys I MUST introduce you to yet another country with an enviable quality of life. Women desire male celebrities, epitomised by Cary Grant and Rock Hudson, who are well-groomed, clean-shaven, fit and handsome. The hairy, dishevelled and unhealthy are not considered attractive. Men dream of models and air hostesses with beautiful faces and shapely figures, inspired by Sophia Loren and Vivien Leigh. The coarse or rotund are of less appeal. Each year a Miss World contest is held and provides television entertainment for millions of viewers. Some protestors claim the parade reduces the women to the level of a cattle auction, but they are in a minority. It is widely recognised that we are born with various blessings. Some of us have a developed intellect, others physical strength, a sunny disposition or sharp business acumen. Some are good at ‘fixing things.’ Others are blessed with good looks, so why should this not be recognised and celebrated? There is a range of daily newspa-

courtesy is insufficient; certain people expect reverence. This is a city where a teacher often wears a white coat, as do the doctors for example. It is expected that they be referred to as ‘Usted’ (Ud) - pronounced ‘oosted’ which is also synonymous with ‘don’t

prostitutes or certain races), they hardly ever target living individuals. Generally, people are not oversensitive. We are free to use words such as blackguard and black mark and indeed blackberry or blackbird! - without any second thoughts about causing offence to people of African
origin. Men are actors or conductors, women are actresses or conductresses. Firefighters are firemen and pupils are known as either schoolboys or schoolgirls. Churches are well-attended and the country upholds many Christian values. In most areas there is tolerance of al-
president of the Red Cross, they laughed and said “none of that nonsense is necessary here.” All this only came to mind whilst in the petrol station yesterday. A young non-Spanish couple were loudly complaining about the difference in price between a soda in Fuengirola and Marbella. They were verbally insulting the staff, as if they were personally responsible for this ‘crime’ of a soda being more expensive than what they had expected. We all have expectations and often very different from those of others, whether it’s on how we’d like to be addressed or the price of a soda. One thing is clear however, it’s impossible to know everything and take everything into consideration. It is possible though to be polite, think twice (or three times) before we berate others and please, particularly when we’re abroad, let’s remember to mind our manners.

ternative beliefs and religious practices. Most families sit round a table together for meals. They bond over fried eggs for breakfast and homeprepared lunches and suppers. The children’s parents - mother and father - have been together since before the birth of the eldest and are likely to remain so. In a majority of cases the parents know where the children are practically all the time. When there are problems with bullying or unwanted attention, the children are likely to confide in their parents for a solution. If they misbehave at school, a caning may instil discipline. At home either parent can decide whether the offending offspring deserves a slap on the bottom or a ‘clip round the ear.’ Health and safety issues are sensibly appropriate for a mature society. For example, it is recommended that road workers wear face protection when using pneumatic drills to dig roads. The government may offer such guidelines, but greater responsibility is invested in parents, teachers and employers. Sadly there are no flights to this destination. This is, believe it or not, England in the 1950s.

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. With the rise of social media I believe the issue of teenage bullying is becoming worse. It was bad enough when I was at school, but now it seems to be that with computers it does not stop once you get home. Mr Charles James
Cancelled passport I LIVE here in Spain and work in Moscow. Recently I was coming home from Moscow via Eindhoven and the Dutch police refused me entry because Malaga Consulate had cancelled my current valid Passport. I applied on April 4 to have my old passport cancelled as I had lost it. Instead Malaga Consulate cancelled my valid passport. I was left in Eindhoven airport police station with no help from anyone in the UK Consulate. Nobody on any of the socalled Helplines answered the phone - and it took one hour 45 minutes to get any response on an Online Chat Helpline UK Gov use. When I got a response it was to say that they could
REFUSED ENTRY: Valid passport cancelled. not guarantee to ‘reverse the cancellation notice you provided.’ So now, because they cancelled the wrong passport - the one I told them (in the letter that accompanied the request) that I could not be without - hence applying by post. So they took my request, went away, found my other passport number and
HAVE YOUR SAY
cancelled that and now refuse to correct their mistake. And people should be aware that the passport people can cancel your passport at any time and you have no recourse, no help, nobody available from UK Gov to help UK nationals in trouble if it is a Sunday. Geoffrey Saunders

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
‘Looky looky’ man floors tourist with punch to head in Spain Let’s face it, the looks men ‘may’ have permits to sell on
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! I particularly enjoyed the one about ‘look Barry, that monkey’s got a ding-dong just like…’ Anyone curious to see how that finishes will just have to look up your article! A real tonic, Barry. Thanks again. Brian
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

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.

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.

Pain which doesn’t get better
www.thebodyworksclinic.com I’VE spoken about nerve pain before and how it can make getting a useful answer and route forward really hard. The problems with nerve pain: • Identifying it - It often moves around from place to place and changes. • Finding the root cause - Where you feel pain may not be the problem area. • Treating it - Medication often makes little difference and standard physical treatments offer only temporary relief. And this is why you can be having the best tennis/golfer’s elbow treatment, the best carpal tunnel treatment, the best knee and leg pain treatment with no effect. Because it’s actually a problem with the nerve supplying that area, not the area itself. The pain comes
from somewhere else. So you aren’t treating the root cause. So how do we find that critical ‘somewhere else?’ Finding the root cause of pain If the pain isn’t coming from where you feel it, how do we find it? • A thorough clinical and physical assessment - Checking not just the painful area, but also the areas which can refer pain, and are connected to the painful area. This can take a while (which is why it often isn’t done thoroughly)! • Talking to you! - I’ve ROOT CAUSE: Find the cause of the problem, not the cure.
previously listed various symptoms which give critical clues that the pain is related to nerves not the location it jumps/moves, tingling, pins and needles, sharp or searing (for more information see my previous articles on my blog at www.TheBody worksClinic.com/blog), if any of these come up when you describe how you feel, we’re going to include the nervous system in our check. Now a key tool in all of this investigation is a system called Dermatomes. So what’s a dermatome? A dermatome is an area of skin which is predominantly supplied by a specific spinal nerve. There are 30 areas in total, covering the entire body. One for each squishy disc between the bony discs of the spine where a nerve exits the main channel.
For more information on nerve pain please check out our website www.TheBodyworksClinic.com, our Facebook page Bodyworks Health Clinic or call us on 952 883 151. Email or call us to book your place at our free seminar on Nerve Pain - Management and diagnosis.
Never too old Kate Broadhead Health and Lifestyle coach 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-
NOT TOO LATE: You can make a significant change at any age. 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.
And dermatomes follow a general pattern. So, if your pain keeps jumping about within a specific area, or you get tingling or pins and needles across a certain body part, breathing difficulties, loss of sensation or a feeling of cold in a particular part of your body, even a rash, we check to see if these correspond to a dermatome. Then we can use this information to identify the nerve affected and check the spine. Dermatomes are an amazingly useful diagnostic tool which we can use to identify the root cause of those difficult to treat nerve pain issues. Because if we treat the root cause, the symptoms go away. Seminar If you think this describes you and want to know more, we are offering a free one-hour seminar on nerve pain at 11.30am on Wednesday May 8 at the Bodyworks Clinic. Booking is vital. Places are limited so we can answer your questions.

Coping with cataracts IT was quite a hectic start to 2019 when Jane from Optica Machin in Estepona went on a Vision Aid Overseas project to KNUST University in Ghana. The aim of the project was to facilitate the fifth-year optometry students in enhancing their clinical skills. They took the students on outreach to the Ashanti School for the Deaf and set up a mobile clinic, where they screened over 600 children, staff and local villagers. They also dispensed around 100 pairs of spectacles and helped to organise continuing screening programmes at the school so that the children will have regular eye care through the KNUST University optometry department. Vision is important to us all,
but for those who depend on their sight for sign language, it is vital. It makes one aware of how important it is to take care of our eyes and to maintain good eye health. Having regular eye checks are a part of this. For example, cataracts are a common eye problem and the older we get the more likely we are to develop cataracts. Exposure to UV light can also contribute to their development so protecting your eyes from excess UV is important. Cataracts can also cause your prescription to change and so you may need to update your spectacles more frequently.

Optica Machin is now pleased to be able to add Bollé and Serengeti sunglasses to their spectacle range. These are available as polarised, curved sports lenses and they can also offer them in prescription, both single vision and Varifocals. Come in, have a chat and we can discuss your requirements. They are great for golf or tennis and also for seafaring folk or water sports as they can cut out the reflected glare from the sea.

For those who don’t want to keep changing their spectacles, then light sensitive lenses could be the answer. Confused? Call OPTICA MACHIN on 952 806 813 or email them at info@opticamachin.com in order to make an appointment to discuss your requirements. www.opticamachin.com.

Life is like a box of chocolates… Joris Plu
Once you understand that you are in control of your mindset 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 umbrella or to dance in the rain. But in both ways try loving the rain. The way we look at everything in life is key. If we are willing to c h a n g e o u r l o o k i n d i ff i cult times we have the sweetest honey ever. And for those who are not s o i n t o h o n e y, y o u c a n a l ways stick to the chocolates. So two questions - how sweet is your honey today? How will your next chocolate taste?
CHOCOLATES: You never know what you’re gonna get.
TOM HANKS once said the following famous words in the movie Forrest Gump ‘Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’ And if you have seen this 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 what comes out that box of chocolates, in a positive way or a less positive way. 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 lessons. Have we learned 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 adventures fulfill your life. It makes life sweet as honey -
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.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala prepares oysters for Elliott Wright from TOWIE
Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com
SOME time ago I met up with Mark Wright from The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) on an easyJet flight to Marbella. He was single in those days and off to Ocean Club for some fun and sun. He was genuinely charming to everyone and the hostesses were excited to see him and have pictures taken with him. We sat next to each other and chatted about people we knew. Then a few years later I bought a little restaurant in La Cala and bumped into him again. He told me that his cousin Elliott Wright was opening up a restaurant in La Cala at Mijas Playa. He was going to do the most amazing dining experience with live music
The Only Way is Marbs! Mark said. My heart sunk. I was thinking that I was going to be the only one in La Cala serving modern fine dining and wasn’t too keen on the competition! So when Elliott opened Olivia’s I was nervous. A couple of years later Elliott and I started to chat more and more about business things and we became friends. By now it was clear that we were two totally different businesses. Olivia’s serves large numbers of people that want good food, live music and entertainment. The little Geranium is tiny and serves a handful of clients and is a very personal dining experience. (These days 90 per cent of our clients order tasting menus). Most of my orders have eight or nine dishes on and that takes time to appreciate each dish and explain the dishes to the client and live music
would be a distraction! So as Elliott and I became mates we realised how different our two businesses were and can see that we are both needed in La Cala. A few months ago, Elliott and Sadie had a little boy, they called him Billy. They were recently on the front page of OK magazine in a feature to celebrate Billy’s christening which Michele and I were invited to. It was lovely to be amongst his special friends and family on this memorable and important day and we chatted with Gemma Collins and Arg, Denise Van Outen and many others from the hit TV series TOWIE. Elliott served a buffet with cheeses, Spanish hams, tapas and my favourite …oysters. As I grabbed an oyster he came over and joined me. One of our favourite foods he said reminding me that whenever we have
a business meeting we usually have a plate of oysters and a cocktail! Elliott’s new concept, Eat Fish and Party is working well. I can see that by the numbers of people packing into Olivia’s. “Cheers mate,” I said raising a glass with an oyster in one hand and a glass of Champagne in the other, “here’s to a successful season and a
GOOD MATES: Elliott and I became friends after a couple of years. really cute baby!” Elliott’s Favourite Oysters Oysters are best eaten raw people say, but those people have never usually eaten them cooked!
Oysters Rockefeller DELICIOUS: Fresh oysters. OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER were created in 1889 at the New Orleans restaurant Antoine’s. It was developed due to a shortage of escargot su b st i t u t i n g t h e lo c a lly availab l e o y st e r s. Th e re c ip e varies, but here is our favourite. Ingredients (serves two) 6 fresh oysters in their shell 55g/2oz butter ½ small onion chopped 2 rashers of pancetta or streaky bacon chopped finely
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 55g/2oz spinach chopped 55g/2oz panko breadcrumbs Method Preheat the grill to its highest setting. Open the oyster shells with an oyster knife. Discard the top and loosen each oyster from the base of its shell keeping the juices. Set aside but keep cool. Melt the butter in a small frying pan. Fry the onion, bacon and the
parsley together for two to three minutes. Add the spinach last and cook until wilted. Now add the breadcrumbs and cook for one minute to absorb the juices Place a teaspoon of spinach and bre a dc rumb mixture onto e a c h oyster sitting in the shells. Place the oysters onto a baking tray and grill to cook until goldenbrown usually two to three minutes. Serve immediately.
Oysters with Truffle foam For this recipe the oysters are eaten raw but topped with a foam seconds before serving them. Open the oysters as above and serve them on crushed ice with lemon and spicy sauce like Tabasco. Truffle foam 1 small lump of butter 1 tablespoon of olive oil 250ml of thick cream 150ml of milk 1 tablespoon of truffle pieces (you can find this is the supermarkets in jars) 1 small onion finely chopped 2 cloves garlic peeled and sliced Juice of half a lemon
Drizzle of truffle oil Maldon salt Method Simply sweat off the onion and garlic gently not to colour in the butter and oil. Add the cream and t he t r uff l e pi eces and cook f or about 15 minutes on a low heat. Warm the milk in a separate pan. Pass the sauce through a sieve to remove the garlic and onion and now add the milk and foam using an electric hand blender. Usi ng a spoon, spoon a l i t t l e (foam only) onto each prepared oyster and drizzle with truffle oil as well as a light sprinkle of Maldon salt and serve.

TECH FOR THE TIMID ALL hail the arrival of flexible phones. Now all their inventors need to do is find consumers gullible enough to spend two grand on them. Earlier this year Samsung, Huawei and several also-rans unveiled their fancy new folding phones to a market frenzied with apathy. Why in Edison’s name would anyone actually want one? The cynical answer: because in a smartphone market struggling to overcome stalled innovation and the vanilla blandness of one glass slab after another, manufacturers are desperate to introduce The Next Big Thing. Big the folding phones certainly are. Instant candidates for a WeightWatchers course, some are double the thickness and heft of a standard phone as well as being double the price. It’s actually cheaper to buy two complete phones and use them alongside each other, but just like owning one of these fancy new Siamesetwinned phones, why would you?

Back in my formative years I opened my copy of Catcher in the Rye so many times the cover broke. Wouldn’t the new folding phone suffer the same fate? Not at all, say the producers; the hinge is guaranteed for ‘tens of thousands’ of foldings, thanks to innova-
tive thin and durable polymer screens and an ingenious mechanism with multiple interlocking gears hidden in the enclosure. It all smacks of overkill. And should we really buy the hype, given that we actually had folding phones way back in 2009? That’s when those peskily awkward flip phones were the absolute height of chic with their clamshell designs.
True nerds (I plead guilty) went the whole hog and bought Nokia’s monstrous Communicator phone with its complete fold-out keyboard; in essence a computer you hoisted to your ear and about as practical as a chocolate teapot. Flip phone users had endless tales to tell, from hitting the external internet button by mistake and then having to pay for expensive data during the subsequent scramble to open the phone and find the kill command, to the unrivalled satisfaction of being able to slam the phone shut on a bad conversation. With the new folding phones due on sale in Europe shortly (some at an eye-watering €2,000 or more) who can say whether they are the future for anyone other than early adopters desperate to impress. But hey, if you really want a folding phone right now there’s actually a cheaper way. Just sit on your existing phone.

5G or not 5G THERE are only two real smartphone innovations on the horizon to part us from our cash, and folding phones are one. 5G is the other; the new superfast worldwide mobile data standard. B u t r i g h t n o w i t ’s s t i l l more hype than happening. 5G is touted as the driver of the ‘Internet of Things’; enabling all of our connected devices to ‘talk’ to each other untouched by the human hand. Perhaps more importantly, it’s the technology needed to really make driverless cars work, as your Audi negotiates wirelessly at 120km/h with an adjacent Tesla to duke out which one owns the fast lane.

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

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
STAR CAR: The Jaguar I-PACE.
(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.

Enthusiasm was the order of the day T was an eclectic mix of Jaguars and their owners that gathered at Venta El Tunel on Saturday morning to prepare to celebrate four years of the JEC (Jaguar Enthusiasts Club). Old Jaguars, modern Jaguars and even a few non-Jaguars made up the enthusiastic group taking coffee in the sunshine whilst waiting to register with Club Presidente Philip Wray who had put the day together with the assistance of the delightful Jenny Wray, long suffering wife and JEC secretary. The weather had dawned bright and sunny with clear blue skies, the ideal environment for a car run. Not too hot, just comfortable! After plenty of time to chat and devour the old bacon sarni, the intrepid crews set off northwards on the old road towards Casabermeja, keeping to the west of the Montes de Malaga. This stunning piece of road boasts a thousand corners and winds its way, almost parallel to the AP46 Autovia, its maximum altitude of 870 metres near Zambra, where one can look out to the east and the south east and see, simultaneously, the snow on the Sierra Nevadas and the sea beyond Malaga. Just beautiful. The road is also a great favourite with training cyclists so plenty of allowance must be made for them. What a treat though for the locals and the cyclists to see a convoy of such beautiful Jaguars winding their way upwards in the early summer sunshine. This is one of the huge differences in motoring here in Spain and in the UK. A
I
group of cars such as these will be lauded and cheered by the wildly enthusiastic locals as they sweep past, a shame the same couldn’t always be said of the UK locals on the rare occasions this might happen there! Route organisers and JEC leaders Philip and Jenny led the group in their pretty,
black Jaguar XK convertible and Jaguars of all ages followed on, including this writer in a 2003 Jaguar XKR, a 4.2 Litre V8 Supercharged version still in immaculate condition and used regularly and co-driven on this occasion by Marilyn MacPherson, a new member to the JEC. Having skirted the town
of Casabermeja, passing Las Pedrizas, the route headed east, past Colmenar and on towards, but not into, Alfarnate. Turning off to the west and with stunning views of the mountains and rock formations of the Torcal, cars headed to Villanueva de la Concepcion, seeing more of the Torcal and taking the very pretty route through La
Hoya and Nogales to cross the Sierra de Chimenea where a well earned coffee stop was enjoyed. Amusingly most people were charged different prices for their coffee depending on the mood of the owner who seemed totally underwhelmed to receive this pleasant group!
There was a very short run in then to the beautiful Hotel Convento de Magdalena, in the countryside near Antequera, where a sumptuous six-course tasting menu was arranged. All this marvellous food and with wines included for a mere €42. Outstanding value! The lunch drifted on for quite some time with no-one in any hurry to leave and a few spirited, if off-key, renditions of ‘Happy Birthday’ were performed before guests wound their weary way home. All in all, another JEC success. The CCCA has, as always, plenty of things happening and to start May off there will be a dinner and Clubnight at Treetops Restaurante in El Chaparral on Tuesday, May 7. Then there will be a Club classic car run and lunch organised by Ian Giles on Saturday, May 11, which will start from Venta El Caserio on the A7 coast road between San Pedro and Estepona, and finish at the well-known Prado de Halcones Restaurante in the Halcones Commercial Centre, just above San Pedro. Interested parties can contact Ian Giles, info@cc candalucia.com. That’s it from me for now, more next time.
Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

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 1-1 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.

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.

Spanish double win
man 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 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. 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 saving 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.
