National Police arrested Gardiner, who lives in Mijas, for suspected murder after the violence erupted at 1.50am last Thursday. Mr Pender, 53, is said by National Police to have received deep cuts to his neck and body. According to police Gardiner had entered the pub and started making advances to several women. One of these was the victim’s wife, Caroline. Mr Pender is thought to have politely asked Gardiner to stop. When the Irishman went to the toilet it is alleged that Gardiner - who did not know the victim and had never met him before - followed and attacked him.

LEAPY 66 REVELRY: The Battle of Wine sees attendees douse each other with the drink.

TIME OUT

Booze battle THIS picture of revellers being doused with wine comes as northern Spain’s La Rioja region prepares to celebrate a festival themed around the drink on Saturday. The Battle of Wine takes place in the Riscos de Bilibio area of the region every year. Between 30,000 and 40,000 litres are used during the festival, according to estimates from organisers. The fiesta begins with a procession of its participants at 9am. Attendees carry jugs, bottles and other containers filled with red wine

to the Hermitage of San Felices de Bilibio. They are led into the battle by the mayor of Haro on horseback. Revellers then throw wine over one another until they are soaked before returning to Haro for more celebrations in the Plaza de la Paz. Mock bullfights featuring calves that are not killed are among the activities which take place during the rest of the day. The fiesta grew out of an annual pilgrimage in honour of San Felices de Bilibio which began during the

81-84 LETTERS

medieval era. The first account of wine being thrown came towards the end of the 19th century. The addition of revelry to the festival was at first controversial, but it became a standard feature by 1949 when it was first referred to as the Battle of Wine. The fiesta began drawing visitors from outside the area and Haro Council secured recognition for it as a festival of interest to tourists in 1965. It received national recognition in 2011.

Doctors protest

War on theft NATIONAL POLICE have declared war on pickpockets in Benalmadena. More officers will be deployed at street markets and busy spots around the town in order to tackle a mini-crime wave. Together with Guardia Civil and Local Police they will set up surveillance teams to not only keep an eye out for crime, but also to check up on illegal street hawkers. The operation has been called for by Mayor Victor Navas with the aim of cleaning up the streets for upcoming festivals such as the Virgen de la Cruz fair. The local council has also mentioned a rise in burglaries in Benalmadena, but Councillor Javier Marin believes that the focus of the operation should be chiefly on illegal street vendors, who he also says may be to blame for a rise in petty theft.

FOLLOW US ON

DOCTORS have demonstrated demanding stronger action to help prevent violence against medical staff. They gathered outside the casualty department of Malaga’s Hospital Clinico in protest at the latest incident when the son of a patient became aggressive. They say the medical staff need more help from security personnel. A plan of action against aggressive and violent patients and their families was recently put in place by the Andalucian Health Service, but the doctors and their unions say it is not enough. Last year, there were 309 attacks on health workers in Malaga Province, 233 of the victims being women. This makes it the worst Andalucian province, ahead of Sevilla (282) and Cadiz (140). There has been a significant increase in vilolence over the past few years. In 2016 Malaga Province saw just 187 cases reported by the Andalucian Health Service.

British arrested for explicit messages A 46-YEAR-OLD British man has been arrested in Malaga for sending inappropriate messages to a woman through a social network on the internet. The detainee resides in Canada but is being held in Marbella on harassment charges. According to the police report the young woman who lives in Marbella had been receiving messages of a highly sexual nature for over six months. She blocked the accused several times on the social network, but he allegedly created new accounts and continued harassing her from a distance. The man was apprehended at a hostel in Malaga.

Sexual assault FUENGIROLA Local Police have arrested two men on suspicion of sexually assaulting a Finnish woman, 20, on the night of San Juan on the Costa del Sol. The events allegedly took place between Martínez Catena Street and Ramón y Cajal Avenue near the marina of Fuengirola, Malaga, at 6am Monday morning. A witness notified authorities on patrol of one man pinning a young woman on the floor, whilst another touched her against her will.

PRISON CALL: Six men accused of murder of man over a fighting cock.

Six men accused of death over a fighting cock MALAGA prosecutors have accused six men of the murder of a man over the theft of a prize fighting cock. The judge has called for a total of 100 years in prison for the men for the crime of murder, three of them as the perpetrators and three of illegal possession of weapons. The murder took place in February 2017 in the city of Malaga where the attackers and the victim got into an argument over the theft of a

fighting cock. The group of men, thought to all have family ties went in search of the victim with the intention of killing him. Five of the men carried weapons and it is thought the sixth man was the supplier of the firearms. Upon finding the man they shot him up to nine times, mostly in the back. The three accused of committing the shooting have been recommended that they

are to serve 18 years for the crime, with another man as accessory to murder which holds a sentence of 15 years. The other two men are alleged accomplices which carries a jail term of nine years. They are to all be sentenced for illegal possession of a firearm which is an extra two years on top of the initial request. They will also be instructed to pay a total of €372,000 to the deceased family.

Historical discovery AN archaeological dig at Finca de Acebedo, Mijas, has revealed what is being called the ‘most important findings in Malaga history.’ A perfectly preserved square shaped oven has been discovered by an archaeological dig team contracted by Mijas Council to uncover the town’s rich history. The site will eventually become the biggest archaeology park on the Costa del Sol and potentially a major tourist attraction in the area. “The dig has proved to be a huge success with what has been discovered so far, surpassing all expectations,” said the head of the council’s Historic Heritage Department, Juan José de la Rubia. So far, two ovens and numerous other materials have been excavated, and

Frantic meetings for new coalition THE new coalition government of Malaga City held a busy meeting on Tuesday (June 25) to discuss various topics including distribution of responsibilities and organisation of the councillors. Councillors’ salaries were also discussed in the meeting and a unanimous decision was made to increase the wages of the board members by 20 per cent. The La Casona held the meeting for the new cooperation to delegate the municipal tasks between the different members of the involved parties. Thirty-three different areas were negotiated and directors were chosen for each sector. The managers of the sectors are expected to be announced this week. It is reported that each area will have a representative from each political party except where personal affiliations and business ties prevent certain councillors from taking their post due to conflict of interests. During the morning meetings a schedule was also agreed upon to further meetings between the permanent board members, which is expected to be the last Thursday of every month. The meetings will be made up of nine members (nine from the PP, three from the PSOE, one from Adelante Málaga and another from Ciudadanos).

BREXIT BRIEF

Going round in circles DONALD TUSK warned that it was “a political reality” that Britain is wasting its breathing space granted in April. The EU chief said that Brexit could become “even more exciting” owing to “some personnel decisions” in London, an indirect reference to the likelihood of negotiating with Boris Johnson should he win the Tory leadership race. “But nothing has changed when it comes to our position,” he added. Although Brussels is willing to listen to the views and suggestions of Theresa May’s successor, the president of the European Council and other EU leaders attending the EU summit warned that the withdrawal agreement the thenprime minister took back with her to London was final. The Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte, echoed the Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar’s assertion during the summit that the EU “was hostile” to a further extension of the UK’s membership beyond October 31, unless the government’s red lines changed or a general election or second referendum were called. “But only in that case. We’re not going to renegotiate if nothing changes because that would go around in the same circles.”

High price for 42 seats THE PSOE asked PodemosUnidos to accept that there will be no coalition. The party emerged from the April 28 general election with 124 of the 176 seats necessary for a parliamentary majority. The PSOE’s presidential candidate Pedro Sanchez needs the 42 seats won by Unidos Podemos - the left-wing Podemos and Izquierda Unida alliance - but in return, Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias wants ministries or a vice-presidency. Sanchez’s offer of intermediate ministerial posts is not what Iglesias wants, but insiders say that nobody trusts Iglesias to toe another party’s line. Warning bells sounded last May when the PodemosUnidos members of the Mesa de Parlamento - the Speaker and representatives from the principal parties - voted against barring remanded Catalan MPs from taking their seats in the

The PSOE’s Organisation Secretary, Jose Luis Abalos, confirmed that if necessary Sanchez will go to the Investiture debate without having obtained sufficient backing to form a government. Should that fail, he will have another two months to try again or call another election, something that no party wants but which, paradoxically, could finally benefit Sanchez.

ST GEORGE: The sculpture is 500 years old.

16th century Saint George restored A 16TH century sculpture of Saint George astride his stallion which suffered a botched restoration last year leaving it looking like a garish cartoon character has been restored to its original state. The wooden statue of the saint which sits in the San Miguel church in Estella, in the northern Navarra region, was restored by a local crafts business last year. Saint George was left disfigured and

authorities fined the church and the crafts business €6,010 each. After three months of work in an official laboratory in the nearby city of Pamplona and a cost of €30,000 paid by the parish, St George is almost back to normal.

Tried to kill husband A WOMAN who was driven mad with unfounded jealously plunged a knife into the neck of her husband then tried to commit suicide by throwing herself from a balcony. Despite bleeding profusely from his wounds, the husband managed to grab one of her hands as she dangled above a three-floor drop. But he couldn’t hold on and Maria del Carmen CC plunged to the ground, being left paraplegic by the injuries she suffered. Appearing before a Cáceres court in a wheelchair, Maria heard the prosecutor

outline the facts. The 48-year-old woman had a history of mental illness and suicide attempts. She had become obsessed with the thought her husband was being unfaithful. At the trial an agreement was reached between the prosecution, the private prosecution and the defence: Maria will be held in a clinic where she will be treated for a maximum of eight years. When she is released, she will have a five-year order banning her from approaching or communicating with her husband. She will also have to compensate him with €34,000.

Seven arrested smuggling THE Guardia Civil of Ronda have arrested seven people for smuggling contraband tobacco, confiscating a total of 24,500 packs. The arrests are part of an operation by the Guardia Civil called ‘Alegend’ which aims to prevent the transportation and sale of smuggled tobacco from Gibraltar. The first of the operation’s

two arrests took place at the end of May when two men were detained. Whilst making the arrest one of the detainees ran their vehicle at authorities forcing them to jump out of the car’s way. The perpetrator will be charged for the additional offence of assault on police authorities. Searching the detainees’ vehicles authorities

seized 5,000 boxes of contraband tobacco. A further five arrests came on June 17 when the Guardia Civil identified a stopping point for smuggler vehicles on the A-369 (GaucínRonda). In addition to the seven detainees the Guardia confiscated 19,500 packs of contraband tobacco being transported in four vehicles.

TRAVEL FEARS: Summer tourists could be left stranded after latest strike threats.

Brit travel plans strike chaos BRITISH tourists flying this summer to Spain could have their travel plans ruined after threats of a new wave of strikes by BA pilots over pay. British Airways have announced plans to vote on possible strike action if their pay demands are not met. Three unions which include over 40,000 employees have rejected the latest pay deal offered to them by the company and therefore a vote will take place on whether to enforce

strikes throughout the summer. BA staff have joined forces with fellow unions, Unite and GMB, to tackle their grievances. BA pilots receive an annual salary of £150,000 per year along with an hourly rate whilst in the air. However the union has been in talks with the airline since November last year but talks have since broken down. The latest offer from the airline has been deemed as ‘too little, too late’ by the union.

ALFRED BOSCH: The Catalan Minister formally apologises to the Mexican people.

Cataluña apologises to Mexican people THE Catalan region of Spain has formally apologised for it’s involvement in the 16th century conquests of the land now known as Mexico. The government of the autonomous region offered the apology despite Spain’s refusal to do so. The apology is in relation to the killings and other offences carried out during the invasion of the area towards the indigenous people. The statement was issued by the Catalan Minister for Foreign Action, Alfred Bosch, during a speech at the National Institute of Indigenous People (INPI). A letter from Mexican president Lopez Obrador asking for resolution from both

the King of Spain as well as Pope Francis prompted the apology. Bosch stated: “What is clear is that the conquest and colonisation introduced discrimination and marginalisation to Mexico.” Bosch’s statement was greatly welcomed by the Mexican president, and goes to further strengthen relations between the country and the Catalan region, with Obrador a public supporter of Cataluña’s independence. However the Spanish government remains steadfast in their refusal to apologise, and went on to condemn the region for their approach.

Father on trial for locking son in car while he drank A POTENTIAL nine months in prison faces a man who allegedly locked his nine-year-old son alone in a car at 3am to continue drinking at a pub in the Asturian town of El Berrón in northwest Spain. The Office of the Prosecutor was expected to request a crime of temporary abandonment of a minor at the trial which took place this week. The staff of the establishment noticed the boy in the vehicle whilst the father was inside drinking on May 26, 2018. Staff spoke with the accused and the father prepared to leave. The defendant opened the door of the car and the owner of the premises confronted the father about driving under the influence of alcohol. He reportedly reacted by assaulting the pub owner who has chosen not to press charges.

THE Guardia Civil took to Twitter to suggest a five-second rule to stop summer tiles scalding dogs’ paws. The advice suggests a fivesecond touch with the back of the hand against the surfaces pets’ paws are exposed to. If we can’t stand it for that length of time, then our furry friends can’t either. The pads of dog’s paws are very sensitive and prolonged exposure to hot surfaces can cause bright red burns which can make it uncomfortable for them to walk. It’s been pointed out our fourlegged pals can’t let us know if where they are walking is hurting them and a quick test from us can save them pain from scorched paws this summer.

nuendos. They cornered her as she drew level with them and began to abuse her, the woman maintained, but she reached the car park, seeking help from her partner. The five men then got into their own vehicle, manoeu-

vring abruptly and allegedly attempting to run her down. The five men were later identified thanks to the description the woman gave the Guardia Civil and four were found to have police records. All now face sexual abuse charges.

Warm welcome FORTY children aged between seven and 17 have arrived in Mallorca from the area a r o u n d t h e C h e rnobyl nuclear disaster zone for a summer break. The Associació Per Ells hosts the trips each year, with 37 local families throwing their doors open to the children for a month-and-a-half. While on the island the youngsters are given medical checkups, and any care they may need if it is not available in the Ukraine. Many of the children have come from orphanages and others from disturbed families, and this programme is seen as giving them a welcome break.

Threats and blaze JEALOUS of his ex-partner’s new relationship, a man threatened to kill her then splashed petrol over her front door and set it alight, according to prosecutors. Now they are asking a Palma court to jail the accused for 10 years on threatening behaviour and arson charges. He is alleged to have sent his ex numerous messages with threats such as ‘tonight you’re going to burn like a dog’ and ‘you’re not going to live.’ He was arrested in 2017 after the blaze at her home which left the property’s door badly damaged.

No imminent terrorist threat in Spain assurance THE British Embassy in Madrid has dismissed claims of an increased terror threat level in Spain. The reassurance follows reports on a change in threat level which stemmed from the announcement of ‘Operacion Verano’ in a press release from the Ministerio del Interior last week. The release stated that 40,000 troops will be sent to popular tourist locations in an effort to quell potential terrorist attempts and ‘take full action to obtain information in order to prevent terrorist acts.’ There were no specific terrorist plots mentioned in the release and the interior ministry later made the point that the same number of troops were deployed for the same reasons last summer. The terrorist threat level has remained at four (out of five) since the terror attacks in Barcelona in August 2017. In the wake of the ‘scare’ an Embassy spokesperson said: “There’s been some media reporting about a reported increase in Spain’s terror threat level. We can confirm that there has been no change to FCO travel advice for Spain.

JAILED: Defendants were both imprisoned by Sevilla court.

Toddler killer jailed By Dilip Kuner A MAN who brutally battered his partner’s 18-month-old toddler son to death has been jailed for more than 27 years. A jury at Sevilla Provincial Court found Ezequiel TR guilty of continually maltreating and eventually murdering the defenceless child. They had heard that on April 23, 2016, the guilty man took the 18-month-old to his room when he started crying. As he would not stop, the murderer grabbed him by the arms and brutally shook him, then hit his

head three times against a flat surface. The child died a few hours later. Now Ezequiel TR has been jailed for a total of 27 years, seven months and 15 days at a sentencing hearing. The victim’s mother, Isabel RM, has been imprisoned for four years, seven months and 15 days after being found guilty of mistreating both the toddler and her elder son, who was three years old at the time. In addition, the convicted will have to compensate the surviving child €130,000 for the death of his brother and another €2,000 for ill-treatment.

New residency requirements 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.

While there are new rules for British nationals applying for residency in Spain, there will be no change to the right and status of EU nationals living in the UK, nor UK nationals living in the EU, while the UK remains in the EU. As an EU citizen it is now mandatory to register as a resident if you intend on living in Spain for more than three months. You must register in person at the Oficina de Extranjeros (immigration office) - visit: http://www.seat.mpr.gob.es/portal/servicios/extranjeria/extranjeria_ddgg.html for regional offices - or a designated police station, which you can find at: https://www.policia.es/docu mentacion/oficinas/oficinas_extran.html You must make an appointment online before going to your local office or station, which can be done on the Spanish public administration website: https://sede.administracione spublicas.gob.es/icpplus/index.html When making your appointment you must select the province where you live and then the option ‘certificados UE’ and follow the instructions. You take the following documents with you to your appointment: Passport or other identity document (not expired) Official form (EX-18), two copies, filled and signed by the UE national. In addition, you will need other documents, depending on your situation: • (employed) - contract of employment or other proof of your employment status. • (self-employed) - proof of registration in the register of economic activities or other proof of your employment status. • (not employment in Spain) - Proof of: health cover valid in Spain; sufficient means to support yourself and your family. • (pensioners) - provide proof of public health cover. • (students) - proof of your registration in an educational establishment; proof of public or private health cover; formal declaration that you have sufficient means to support yourself during your stay. *You will be issued with a credit-card sized residence certificate which will include your name, address, nationality, NIE number, and date of registration. *The old A4 residence certificates are still valid, and you do not need to apply for a creditcard sized alternative unless your circumstances change, for example you move house. But you can if you want to, at any time. *After five years of being registered as a resident, you can apply for a certificate of permanent residence in Spain. The card will be similar, but state that you are a ‘residente permanente.’ This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

British man dies in pedalo incident A 31-YEAR-OLD British man who has yet to be named has died after falling off a pedalo on the Costa Dorada. Police and paramedics promptly arrived at the scene on Regueral beach, just south of Barcelona in Cambrils. Three ambulances were sent along with five patrol vehicles and members of the Local Police force. Paramedics performed CPR, but the man was pronounced dead around 6pm on Sunday afternoon. Witnesses say that there were no adverse weather conditions, the warning flags were green all day and there were lifeguards on

duty. Despite these favourable conditions, according to local media reports the man was dragged out to sea after falling in the water and subsequently struggling to swim. Pedalos are easily available for hire on lots of beaches in the area and are usually considered safe. Last month a five-year-old Georgian girl was swept out to sea just 15 kilometres north of Cambrils in La Pineda after a strong wind blew the inflatable she was on 200 metres from the shoreline. So far no investigation into Sunday’s incident has been announced.

Shots fired at mosque HOODED gunmen fired four shots at one of the main mosques in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta. There were at least a dozen people inside the Muley el Mehdi mosque at the time, but no one was hurt in the incident, which happened in the early hours of Monday morning. Worshippers are said to have run and hidden such was their alarm at the incident.

Government sources say the duo had driven up on a motorbike before firing the shots at the façade then making their escape. At least three bullets hit the building. National Police cordoned off the area and opened an investigation. The Muley El Medhi mosque, inaugurated in 1940, is the second most important in Ceuta and has a congregation of hundreds.

POOR WORK: A Cadiz woman denounced a group of dentists for ‘destroying her mouth.’

Cadiz woman has teeth ‘destroyed’ by bad dentists A WOMAN has denounced a group of 10 dentists after numerous botched implant procedures have left her front teeth in tatters. The botched dental work allegedly took place over a sixyear period between 2010 and 2016 and included over 80 separate visits and a bill of more than €12,000. After many failed treatments, the state of her teeth led her to be diagnosed with chronic oral

candidiasis (Oral Thrush) and severe depression and anxiety. The denouncement was made after the dentists that were treating the woman informed her that the warranty of treatment had expired and advised her to look elsewhere for any further work. She took the matter to the Cadiz College of Dentists which later passed it onto the Junta de Andalucia. “Obvious damage has been caused to the patient by a treat-

ment, apparently, not planned correctly, which has been unjustifiably delayed and without providing the functional and aesthetic objectives to which she aspired when contracting oral rehabilitation with the clinic,” stated the report submitted. The College of Dentists has urged the two parties to reach a ‘friendly agreement’ but it is likely compensation to be received by the patient, will be roughly €125,000.

In 2002 he half-strangled 22year-old mother-of-three Amanda del Carmen with the cord of an electric iron before drowning her in the bath to prevent her from leaving him.

Wolf pack guilty of rape says Spain’s Supreme Court FIVE members of the infamous Wolf Pack have been found guilty of rape after the Supreme Court overturned a previous decision. The defendants have been jailed for 15 years each and been forbidden from contacting or approaching the victim for 20 years. They will also have to pay her €100,000 compensation. A regional court had acquitted the men of rape, but convicted them of the lesser charge of sexual assault. José Ángel Prenda, Alfonso Cabezuelo, Antonio Manuel Guerrero, Jesús Escudero and Ángel Boza were originally given nine years each, plus five years’ probation and ordered to pay €10,000 each to the woman. Their victim, who was 18

at the time, appealed the decision, as did the defendants, who called themselves ‘the Wolf Pack’ in a social media messaging group. The men raped the woman in a doorway in the early hours of the morning at the 2016 San Fermin festival. A rape charge in Spain requires the victim to show there was evidence of intimidation or violence. The lower court decided the woman was passive and did not struggle. But the Supreme Court has decided otherwise. In its judgement the court said that the victim had been subjected to “a genuinely intimidating scenario in which she never consented to the sexual acts perpetrated by the accused. “This intimidating situa-

tion led the victim to adopt an attitude of submission, doing what the perpetrators told her to do, despite the distress and intense strain… The accused took advantage of this to commit acts against the victim’s freedom, among them at least 10 sexual assaults.” These included rape. In a tweet, Spain’s acting deputy prime minister and equalities minister, Carmen Calvo, said that this decision “recognised the credibility of the victim.” She added that the decision was compatible with a governmental proposal to change the law. The convicted men can appeal to the Spanish Constitutional Court and then the European Court of Justice.

A MOTORCYCLIST escaped with a broken leg after being trapped between a taxi and two buses in a Barcelona crash. Twenty people were hurt in the crash which involved two buses, a taxi and the motorcyclist. None of the bus passengers were seriously hurt, although the motorcyclist was taken to hospital for treatment to the fracture. The incident meant that traffic was brought to a standstill in the Plaza de Espanya for a little more than an hour. Apparently, the accident hap-

pened when a taxi braked hard and the motorcycle hit him. A bus was also unable to stop in time and hit the motorcycle and finally another bus crashed into the first. The motorcyclist was sandwiched between the taxi and the first bus. A passenger on the first bus explained that the vehicle braked twice: “Then people started screaming, glass broke. Most of the passengers were sitting because the bus was empty. “I got a wound on my lip because I hit the seat in front of me.”

Son’s attempted matricide THE Supreme Court in Spain has convicted Enrique Blasco of the attempted murder of his mother after he allegedly

tampered with a gas valve in her house in order to suffocate her. He will serve nine years in prison.

Police were alerted to the Blasco residence where Enrique was taking care of his mother in his sisters’ absence. The neighbours were first to report the smell of gas. Enrique later declared that he had not noticed the smell and was having problems with the boiler. The police however noted that Enrique did not answer the door for 10 minutes after officers had arrived and had started to engage him. They claimed there was a distinct sound of velcro coming from behind the door when he eventually opened up, which was later deemed to be a means by which to seal off the room so that no oxygen would enter. Mrs Blasco had Alzheimer’s and was reportedly unaware of the situation taking place. The court came to the conclusion that Enrique was prepared to take his own life as well as his mother’s. He was sentenced to jail and his appeal was rejected.

CELEBRATING TOGETHER: The strong links that unite the UK and Spain.

EWN celebrates Queen’s birthday at the Embassy in Madrid BRITISH Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley, extolled the excellent relationship between the UK and Spain, both inside and outside the EU, at a special ceremony last week. He said, “We must create our future together,” during his last celebration of the Queen’s birthday in Madrid, as his six years in Spain comes to an end in August. More than 700 people celebrated the strong links that unite the UK and Spain at the Queen’s Birthday Party, a party to celebrate the 93rd birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, who in 2019 also celebrates 67 years as sovereign. The party took place in the British Ambassador’s official residence in Madrid under the banner of ‘Creating our future’ and brought together personalities from the worlds of politics, business and society, such as the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Pedro Duque; the Secretary of State for Tourism, Isabel Maria Oliver; the Congressional spokesperson for Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas; and the Vice-President of Banco Santander, Matías RodríguezInciarte. In his welcome address, HMA Simon Manley underlined the excellent ties between both countries and called for the continuation of this special relationship in the future. “We have shared challenges such as climate change, the ageing population, Islamist terrorism and the digital revolution. Inside or outside the European Union we have to tackle them together,” emphasised the Ambassador. Spain and the UK have trade flows of more than €62,000 million per year. More than 300,000 UK nation-

Michel said: “We are proud to be British and so thankful to be living in Spain. What a brilliant combination, a fantastic community, fabulous mixture.” The guests joined Simon Manley and his wife Maria Isabel as they marked the last time he will celebrate the Queen’s birthday as Ambassador.

OF the literally thousands of houses and apartments on the Costa del Sol many are owned by foreigners and people from other parts of Spain who only come here to enjoy them as holiday homes. In winter more often than not it’s the foreigners looking to escape the cold and in the summer the Spaniards trying to avoid the relentless inland heat, either way people come and go. However summer as well as a relaxing holiday time for some, is also a good time to undertake necessary maintenance or home improvements for others. Unfortunately this can cause a conflict.

When can neighbours work and when not take it easy, the other wants to knock things down and generally make noise. So it is quite clear a building code of conduct and some basic rules are needed. Generally speaking on an urbanisation or in an apartment block only two entities have jurisdiction. The president or the representative of the committee of the com-

munity of owners and the local town hall. Basically to undertake any building work, maintenance or renovation etc, a licence or permit is needed from the local town hall. This is usually a straightforward affair, the owner or the builder etc tells the town hall what is intended and the town hall, if all is in order, approves the work, charges their fee and issues the licence. In a ddition; if a ny planned work or renovation etc affects the general aesthetics of the community, especially the façade of a block, undermines the safety or integral structure of the building or prejudices the rights of another owner, then prior permission must be obtained from the com-

So it pays to plan ahead and have all the paperwork and licences in order well before starting work. This is fundamentally compulsory and if owners don’t do it

they can be fined or their work temporarily or permanently stopped. In the interest of peaceful cohabitation, the community may approve an owner’s intended work but only under certain conditions and accor di ng t o a f i xed timetable.

ty with a timetable of work etc is not required, then applying the municipal bylaws, with perhaps a phone call to the Local Police, is the only effective means of controlling any anti-social building practices of other owners or their workers during what is normally considered to be the peaceful hours. Hopefully this is not necessary, however it pays to know what can be done if it is. Generally the conditions for building work and maintenance etc are a matter of common sense and just being reasonable. Hammering and drilling holes at a quarter past six in the morning or noisily machine mixing cement in the community courtyard at two thirty on a Sunday afternoon will be seen by some as being very unreasonable and could well invite a visit from the community president or the Local Police force. When in doubt , as usual we advise our readers to ask, in cases like this either at the town hall, the Local Police or the community administrator.

Quality beaches MARBELLA is proud of the fact that six of its beaches have retained the highest quality Q award for 2019. This means that beaches in San Pedro Alcantara, Nueva Andalucia, Marbella Central, El Faro, Puerto Banus and La Venus are considered to have met stringent standards of cleanliness, quality, safety and general services. There are however a number of other beaches which have not yet reached these high standards and these include Los Monteros, El Cable, Levante of Puerto Banus and the two canine beaches at El Pinillo and Ventura del Mar. With the tourist industry so important to the Marbella economy and with beaches still a major attraction to holidaymakers, the council intends to work hard to try to bring as many beaches as possible up to standard with the aim of making the area an outstanding place to visit due to the large number of

Tarde Joven MORE than 300 young people and a score of artists took part in the council backed Tarde Joven (Youth Afternoon) 2019 which was launched by the Youth delegation. Every Friday afternoon during May and June, different creative experts were on hand to share their knowledge and passion with young people in Marbella. Inspirational visitors included filmmakers, magicians, actors, researchers, singers, instrumentalists, DJs, urban artists and writers. Councillor Enrique Rodriguez said that this initiative

was introduced, “in order to boost youth leisure in a healthy way and to give those involved a chance to participate in what was going on.” Last Friday saw this pilot initiative close with a reading by Andrea Rodríguez of the book ‘When will we meet again?’ which details the last days of the illness of her friend, the young Pablo Ráez. The councillor indicated that this could become a regular event, but also invited local young people to let his department know what it is that they would like to see the council offering to them.

Scooter alert IN the same way that random availability of mobility scooters in the Costa Blanca has caused untold criticism, so Marbella is now running into problems with electric ‘vehicles’ such as Segways, Hoverboards and electric scooters. Areas such as the Paseo Maritimo which are supposed to be reserved for pedestrians have seen a rapid growth in the appearance of these electric vehicles, which are both silent and potentially very dangerous. In theory, they should keep

case of an accident. In the case of stand on scooters, these are often owned by the person using them, but sit down scooters and Segways can be rented and if the person riding them is not proficient or indeed has been drinking, they are potentially an accident just waiting to happen. There is no official statute laid down by the council as yet which means that the police are not empowered to stop these people from riding on the pavement.

Clean sweep AS thousands headed to the beaches along the Marbella coast to celebrate the night of San Juan, workers from the Department of Cleaning were behind them ready to remove the mess. Once again it was a great night with visitors and residents partying into the night whilst the brave jumped across many bonfires as they died down. This year, the council reported that it cleared 11 tons of rubbish, which is four tons less than in 2018 and that it had 75 members of staff on hand to ensure that all of the beaches were properly looked after and cleared as quickly as possible.

Understanding how your body works

GOOD FATS: Our bodies need fats in moderation. HOW fats can help to burn fat? I hear this question almost every time I make a diet for my client. To answer the question, we need to understand how our body works. When we eat food, it breaks down into its constituent parts and is used to maintain normal body functions. We n e e d p r o t e i n s t h a t break down into amino acids to build muscles and function organs and the systems of the body. Carbohydrates are the fastest and easiest source of energy for our bodies. When the body absorbs carbohydrates, it converts them into glycogen (this is a type of sugar) which is stored in our muscles and used to make them work. But in this process, the body increases insulin levels in the blood and enters an anabolic process

(gains muscles and fats). F a t s , h o w e v e r, a r e d i gested through the liver of a person and do not raise insulin, which keeps blood sugars lower and the body in the metabolic mode of burning fat. The problem with fat is that it contains 2.5 times more calories per gram then carbohydrates. Overeating saturated cholesterol-rich animal fat increases cholesterol levels in our blood, but here we are talking about overeating - our bodies actually need those fats in moderation. The hormones in our bodies are produced by the cholesterol contained in eggs and other animal fats. Many substances such as vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble. This means that the body can’t absorb them

without fat. That’s why you should have olive oil in your salad to help fully digest the vitamins from the vegetables. Omega 3 fatty acids are a must in our daily menu. Benefits include: increasing muscle mass, burning fat, fighting depression, helping brain activity and eyes, fighting inflammation and many others. They are contained in oily fish, walnuts, linseed, and many other seeds in smaller quantities. The benefits of avocados and olive oil are also countless, and coconut oil is another fat with unique, medium-chain fatty acids. In conclusion, the best sources of fat are: raw nuts and seeds, olives and olive oil, avocado, coconut oil, fatty fish containing omega 3.

The European Commission has informed the European Court of Justice that the law has now been brought in correctly, so it is withdrawing the case and possible fine. Political instability, the situation and repeated elections have been blamed for the delay in implementing the legislation that brings Spain into line with EU regulations, which should have come into force in March 2016.

Trump threat over Google tax PRESIDENT Donald Trump has told Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez the US will react “very harshly” if plans for a ‘Google Tax’ go ahead. The warning came on the eve of this week’s G20 summit and is aimed at Spain and France in particular, as well as other European nations who may consider such a charge. US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who is the main advisor, negotiator and spokesman for Trump in the area of trade, was speaking to a Senate committee when he issued the warning.

By Dilip Kuner He said that “President Trump will respond very harshly” against European countries that insist on applying tax pressure that, in his opinion, “discriminatorily penalise American companies.” The US ambassador to Spain, Duke Buchan, wrote to the Spanish government last November to ask that a proposed new tax be withdrawn, saying that Sanchez should not try to impose such a tax without international agreement within the Organisation for Economic Development Cooperation (OECD).

The government has said that it plans to create a new tax as soon as possible because it considers it necessary for Google and other digital platforms to pay more than they currently do. It hopes to raise €1.2 billion annually. Nadia Calviño, Spain’s Minister of Economy and Business, said: “It is a priority to jointly address the special challenges posed by the taxation of new business models of digital platforms. The government assures that this declaration does not change the plan to create the new tax.”

BASQUE automotive group CIE Automotive has spent 58 million acquiring two companies dedicated to the machining of parts in Celaya, Guanajuato State (Mexico). It has bought Maquinados de Precisión de México and Cortes de Precisión de México, whose Ebitda (gross operating margin) is expected to reach €16 million by the end of 2019. Jesús María Herrera, CEO of CIE Automotive, explained that the purchase will allow it to expand significantly physically and commercially in the future. The companies are being paid for in cash.

Price rise slowdown INFLATION in Spain dipped on the back of lower than expected electricity and fuel prices in May to a year-onyear rate of 0.8 per cent from 1.5 per cent the previous month, according to the National Statistics Office. MONEY SPINNER: Sports make big contribution.

Sports spend on the rise SPORTS tourism was worth €2.44 billion to Spain in 2018, up 10 per cent on the previous year. According to figures in the Annual Sports-Related Statistics report from the Ministry of Culture and Sport, €1.41 billion of that came from visitors to the country, compared with the €1.26 billion spent in 2017. Tourists resident in Spain spent €1.03 billion on sport-related trips, compared with €957 million the previous year. In total, 4.1 per cent of all trips made for leisure, recreational or holiday purposes by Spanish residents were for sports purposes. The number of sports clubs increased in 2018 to 67,512, a rise of 0.7 per cent in 2017.

Big exposure THE eurozone financial system, including banks, investment funds, pension funds and insurance companies, has a total exposure to companies affected by anti-emissions regulations of €720 billion, says the ECB.

Breaks price SOCIAL media use, checking personal emails plus unscheduled coffee and cigarette breaks cost Spanish companies €3.3 billion a year in lost time, according to a study by work analysts Adecco, although unions say breaks can increase productivity.

Call for closer banking ties SPAIN’S central bank has called for closer banking ties within the EU and in particular a euro zone deposit insurance scheme and stabilisation fund. It says that Europe as a whole faces significant financial risks from ageing populations, low productivity, high national debt and a Brexit-related economic slow-down. The Bank of Spain said that the European De-

posit Insurance Scheme (EDIS) would make the financial sector more resilient and be the final part to a full banking union within the eurozone. Speaking in a presentation of the bank’s annual report Governor Pablo Hernandez de Cos said: “It is necessary to complete (the) revision of the Economic and Monetary Union to avoid the single currency still being exposed to tensions in case of high-calibre disturbances.”

A resurgent market OUSING on the Costa del Sol is synonymous with a resurgent market, new construction and luxury. Both the city of Malaga and the coast have experienced a continuous and growing demand for housing since 2015. The impulse given by foreign tourists, who are looking to spend longer and longer periods in Spain, and the boom of tourist apartments as a short and medium term investment, have contributed greatly. This demand has in turn resulted in steady price growth across the region, although experts say we are not approaching the excessive levels seen before the financial crisis. There are still opportunities to be had, but they are getting thinner on the ground as surplus stock is absorbed. Prices remain around 20-30 per cent below peak, so now is still seen as a good time to buy, with steady capital growth anticipated in the coming years. Demand in the new build sector carries on strengthening, as can be witnessed by the developments being marketed along the Costa del Sol. Lessons have been learned from the mistakes of the past. The focus is now on quality and location, while stricter regulation means people can buy with confidence.

Making the most of your home SHOULD you be looking to sell your property there are renovations you can make to ensure you get an optimal return on investment (ROI). Whether you’ve been waiting for that perfect time to list, or are looking to sell fast, giving a bit of thought and taking that little extra care with your home renovations can make the difference between achieving a decent price for your home or being forced to give a discount. According to internet portal Houzz, when it comes to home renovations, the ‘size of your space, the scope of work involved, your DIY abilities, the quality of materials you choose and even your geographic location all play a part.’ But remember - you really do not need to spend a fortune to give your house much better kerb appeal. In fact, according to a recent report, fairly simple measures to give a favourable first impression can give the best ROI. This can be as easy as tidying up the garden and cutting the grass. If you live in the house this is a no-cost measure you can do yourself.

If the property is a second home like so many are in Spain, it is not too costly to arrange for this to be done. Likewise, any minor repairs to paintwork and carpentry should be tackled - after all first impressions really do count. Something as subtle as replacing your garage door could yield you as much as an 85 per cent ROI, according to some reports. Landscaping is another tried, tested and true improvement that can return as much as 105 per cent on your investment. Installing new windows, adding high-efficiency appliances and repainting the exterior and interior of your home can also make a huge impact for relatively little cost. Then make sure everything is clean and tidy and you are ready to sell. Of course, you may wish to renovate while you continue to live in the property. If you feel you won’t be moving for at least five years, then you really should not worry too much about ROI. What matters most is keeping yourself happy.

PROPERTY GUIDE REFRESH: A lick of paint can work wonders.

At the front IN the past five years, more than 479,000 new homes have been sold in Spain, with Malaga joining Madrid, Barcelona and Alicante as a new-build hotspot. Between January 2014 and April 2019, National Statistics Institute (INE) figures show that new homes have accounted for 21.4 per cent of the 2.1 million total transactions. Between 2008 and 2016 year-on-year falls in sales were recorded across Spain, except in 2010 (0.8 per cent). In 2015, they plunged 34.5 per cent, while in 2016 there was a historic low of just 75,134 new home sales. However, this marked a turning point. In the past five years (including the dire 2015-2016 period) Malaga accounted for 6.7 per cent of new build sales. Alicante had 7.1 per cent, Madrid 17.3 per cent and Barcelona 7.7 per cent.

Rise in expats buying property in Spain ONTRARY to what many people would think, Brexit uncertainty does not seem to have had any negative effect on the British sector of the property market in Spain. In fact official statistics report that the number of British expats who are buying property in Spain increased in 2018. According to a report by the College of Property Registrars (Colegio de Registradores de la Propiedad), the British continue to head up foreign demand for real estate in Spain, having made 15.3 per cent of

C

purchases by international buyers in Spain. After the British come the Germans (7.4 per cent), French (7.4), Belgians (6.3), Swedes (5.9), Romanians (5.5) and Italians (5.4). The figures reveal that just over 10,000 British nationals bought a property in Spain last year. The report reads: ‘With regard to 2018, on the one hand, the increase in British demand stands out, surpassing the figures for 2017. However, most other nationalities in the leading group have presented lower amounts of home purchases in 2018 than in 2017.’

NO NEGATIVE EFFECT: Statistics show British demand is up.

65,500 house purchases were made by foreign nationals.

The province of Alicante is still the place with the highest percentage of property purchases by foreign citizens, maintaining levels above 40 per cent, specifically 41.28 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2018. After Alicante come the provinces of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (34.5 per cent) and the Balearic Islands with 34 per cent.

The provinces of Malaga (29 per cent), Girona (25) and Murcia (22.7). Overall there were 65,500 house purchases by foreign nationals, which represents 12.6 per cent of the total. There were 516,680 transactions in total recorded during the year, with prices increasing by an average 8.2 per cent.

The comparison properties are priced in euros, the conversion is fairly accurate as in Spain on top of the price paid, buyers must pay IVA (the VAT equivalent) on the property which allows for the conversion rate. For a similar price you can bag a beautiful six-bedroomed detached villa, very well decorated and standing in its own grounds. It boasts four bathrooms, its own beautiful pool and views from the roof terrace overlooking the Mar Menor, just south of Alicante, so it is convenient for both the beaches, the airport and the city.

Rent to buy WHERE to live in Spain is always a quandary for many expats and time and time again you meet people who have got it wrong. You meet people who thought they would like somewhere isolated, then realise that isolated may mean a lack of certain essential services and facilities. Or others who fall in love with a coastal resort, without realising many people go home in September and do not return until April or May, leaving the resorts desolate. Probably the best advice is to take advantage of a scheme that is quite popular in Spain, ‘Rent-to-buy.’ This is a contractual arrangement where a property is rented for a specific time period, with the option to purchase the property for a pre-agreed price during that term. This way you can find out if the house and the area you have chosen is what you actually want or take your time to look for the right place.

HERE’S no shortage of bargain properties available which require partial or total refurbishment. In some cases, this can be as simple as a new kitchen or a coat of paint. In other cases, it could mean virtually knocking down the property to start again. Some of these properties for reform can represent great value for money, but beware of the pitfalls. It is very important that if you are going to do any alterations to your property, even if relatively minor, you have the correct paperwork required for the job. This paperwork should normally be arranged between the town hall and your builder and will include the builder supplying an estimate for the work. There is as always tax to pay, but this is a relatively small amount compared to what you could be fined, if they catch you

lawyers realise that the work was not authorised. The building materials and construction used in traditional Spanish buildings can be different from

other parts of Europe, so it is very important to have any work carried out by a legal, qualified builder and ideally by one who can speak the same lan-

guage as yourself. Before purchasing, always make sure that you understand the situation as to the supply of essential services, like

electricity, water, internet and telephone. Even reconnecting a supply of electricity can prove an expensive business and a perpetual problem for foreign property owners is access to the internet. As anywhere in the world, it is always best to have a few quotations (presupuesto), but generally, it is wise that you should budget for costs to be up to 100 per cent higher than quoted in case the costs escalate wildly from the original estimates. It’s often cheaper to buy a restored or partly restored property rather than a ruin in need of total restoration, unless you’re going to do most of the work yourself. The price of restored properties doesn’t always reflect the cost and amount of work that went into them and many people who have restored a ‘ruin’ would never do it again and advise others against it.

CADAQUES, GIRONA: Coastal area which attracts big earners.

Priciest places WHILE the most expensive properties in Spain tend to be in the big cities of Barcelona and Madrid, there are several coastal hotspots that can give them a run for their money. Property portal Idealista has come up with a list of the most expensive places outside the provincial capitals. These are generally the favourite places of the 'jet set' to spend their summer or winter holidays and those areas just outside the big cities where people with the highest incomes live. The coastal neighbourhood of Es

Cubells, Sant Josep de Sa Talaia (Ibiza) is the most expensive area outside a provincial capital. In fact, it is the most expensive in Spain with its €9,145/m2, price tag. There are other coastal municipalities which attract big earners. These include, from most expensive to ‘cheapest,’ Cadaques (Girona), Benahavis (Malaga), Arona (Santa Cruz de Tenerife), Sotogrande (Cadiz) and Sanxenxo (Pontevedra) where prices range from €4,882/m2 of the first to €2,351/m2.

New mortgage law SPAIN’S new mortgage law has finally come into force. It is designed to incorporate European directives on consumer protection into Spanish law and includes several aspects beneficial to the customer. It is most beneficial to people taking on new loans, but what about those who already have a mortgage? According to bank comparison website HelpMyCash.com there are some measures that will affect existing mortgage holders, although most of the new regulations are not retrospective. Chief amongst these is the one that reduces the cost of converting a variable mortgage to a fixed rate loan, and secondly a tightening of regulations for foreclosures. When it comes to swapping loans from variable to fixed rates, banks may now charge a maximum of 0.15 per cent of the outstanding capital within three years of the initial contract being signed. After this period the transaction should be free. Before the law came into force, the usual commission for novation (where the contract was changed for another loan at the same bank) was 0.5 per THE unsold stock of new housing fell by 3.6 per cent last year to 459,876 units, according to figures just released by the Ministry of Development. This means that the number of empty new properties has fallen by 30 per cent (189,904 units) in the last 10 years. In 2005 there were just 195,184 new units in the ‘property bank,’ a figure that would peak at 649,780 houses in 2009. After the bursting of the housing bubble began a slow ‘absorption’ of this remaining stock, although in most of the most popular coastal destinations there is in fact now a shortage of new build properties available for sale. The problem is that many entire developments were taken over by the banks when developers defaulted on loans. The ‘bad bank’ Bankia, where many of these ‘deals gone sour’ were parked, has recently said it will start a process of legally being able to sell these homes. So, although the coastal regions, where the construction boom was concentrated, have the largest number of new

Unsold housing stock decreases unsold homes, developers of the latest new builds have little problem selling. It seems to be simply a bottleneck in the process that means properties lie empty. The Valencian Community heads this particular list with 86,137 units, almost 20 per cent of the national total. Next is Cataluña, with a stock of 73,048 (16 per cent), and Andalucia, with 69,327 units (15 per cent). By province, Alicante (39,309) and Barcelona (38,048) are the areas with the highest number of new unsold homes. Castellon, Valencia, Murcia and Almeria also have considerable numbers.

The Community of Madrid, on the other hand, accounts for 8.73 per cent of the total stock (40,145), while Toledo, where building happened on a massive scale due to the proximity of the capital, represents 4.75 per cent of the total (20,714 properties). By region, the biggest fall in new stock last year was in the Basque Country,

where it was reduced by 30 per cent. In the Balearic Islands 10 per cent of these properties were bought. By province, Guipuzcoa, Malaga, Huelva, Huesca and Lugo all saw stock decrease by

more than 10 per cent. The presence of these homes in the property bank seems to have little effect on the market generally, as many were built in inaccessible and unpopular locations. Some experts say that many may well be bulldozed in the long term as the market concentrates on less speculative developments in sought after areas.

Property perceptions CONFIDENCE amongst homebuyers is continuing to strengthen, and they expect prices to continue to rise, albeit more moderately than recently, according to the latest Solvia Real Estate Trust Index (ICIS). Some 59 per cent of the population believes that now is a good time to buy a home and that the market situation will not be very different in two years. The index measures the perceptions and expectations of Spaniards when it comes to buying a home. It remains in positive territory and stood at 108 points out of 200 in April, reflecting continued optimism among consumers about buying a home. According to the report, Spaniards perceive that prices are rising and there are no longer as many bargains to be had, but housing remains a good investment option. Looking ahead two years,

consumers are evenly split on what they believe will be the state of the market. Some 51 per cent think that it will be a better time to invest than today. Director of strategy, consulting and business development of Solvia, Guillermo Estévez, said: “In this sense, we perceive a convergence between the current and future vision that Spaniards have on the real estate market. We can anticipate that Spaniards will be less likely to postpone a decision to buy a home.” Most regions have an index value above 110 points - higher than 100 is viewed as positive. The exceptions are Cataluña and the Community of Madrid, which have ICIS values just below 100 points. The main reasons for this are the higher price rises those regions have seen in the past few years compared to the rest of

More than 60% recommend buying.

BUY NOW: Most Spaniards think now is a good time to purchase a home. Spain. They also have fewer bargain opportunities, meaning consumer confidence is lower. Spanish consumers throughout the country believe house price growth will slow down, with the exception of residents of Madrid.

Some 82 per cent of Madrileños believe prices will continue to rise at a fast rate ‘because they still have a long way to go,’ and that in two years the trend will still be upward (69 per cent). More than 60 per cent of

those questioned recommend buying a property rather than renting. This proportion has grown from two years ago, when 55 per cent of respondents thought buying was the better option.

Town or Country Arty the choices in Spain outside ONE 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. They tend to be bigger in Spain and the majority have a balcony or terrace. 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 exis-

For people who want the luxurious ‘villa’ lifestyle then there are many available, the majority, however, are on urbanisations often high above the towns. These urbanisations, of more modern housing, will generally have access to most modern facilities, but

may still be somewhat removed from bars and shops. The other alternative location is to live in a village or small town. Living in such places is different from most English equivalent place. 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. On the flip side, many houses in villages will tend to have little or no garden and the rules regarding the installation of swimming pools are strict and prohibitive.

ONE of the big attractions of life on the Costas is the amount of use outside living areas get thanks to the year-round mild climate. At this time of year in particular terraces, balconies and gardens are like an extra room, used for relaxing, family meals and for entertaining. So it’s well worth investing a bit of time and money in making outside living areas look as attractive as possible. Pot plants and hanging baskets are a natural adornment, but these days there are also any number of pretty accessories and tasteful creative touches available. Scented candles and garden table lanterns are fairly obvious choices. But how about a few pieces for a really individual look: a colourful piece of wall art, a Moroccan-style sconce, or a statement outsize outdoor clock. And for a really convivial atmosphere for al fresco dining, festoon lights are just the ticket!

Too many jobless in Spain THE Spanish jobs sector remains one of the biggest problems within the country’s economy. The unemployment rate is expected to continue to fall, but is predicted to take until 2021 before reaching around 12 per cent, according to the Bank of Spain. After a five-year slump in the economy from 2008 to 2013 unemployment soared to almost 27 per cent, but has since fallen to 4.7 per cent in the first quarter of this year. “While it’s true that the unemployment rate has fallen significantly since the economic recovery began, it is still very high,” said Governor of the central bank Pablo Hernandez De Cos.

Lower AVE costs call THE current cost structure for operating high-speed trains should be reformed as the market is opened up to competitors to ensure lower ticket prices. This is the conclusion of the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC). In a report is sees the need to ‘modify in depth’ the fees that infrastructure owner Adif charges for the use of t r a c k s a n d s t a t i o n s . L a s t y e a r, Renfe paid it €1.228 billion.

The regulator does not go into depth on how the lowering of fees w i l l a ff e c t t h e f i n a n c i n g o f t h e debt. But it considers the setting of fees needs to be pitched right if competitors are to enter the market and reduce ticket prices. The body, chaired by José María Marín Quemada, says that royalties will be ‘key’ in the design of commercial strategies carried out by operators that break Renfe’s monopoly, such as the French company SNCF, which has already shown its interest in operating in Spain. Both Renfe and SNCF have an-

Lagging behind in RD&I SPAIN is the only country wi t hi n t he EU 5 - t he t op economic nations - to have reduced spending on RD&I. The Independent Fiscal Accountability Authority (AIReF) has said that ‘total investment has fallen between 2009 and 2016 by 10.2 per cent,’ in contrast to total investment growth of 17 per cent amongst the 28 countries of the European Union. In contrast to Spain, the ot her EU 5 nat i ons i ncreased RD&I expenditure in the same period. In the case of France this was by 10.3 per cent, while in Italy the increase was 12 per cent. In the United Kingdom the rise was close to 15 per cent. By far away the leading country was Germany, where the figure reached a remarkable 24 per cent.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I TRULY can’t make up my mind whether society reflects the media, or the media reflects society. I suppose, when it comes down to it, they’re all actually in it together. I remember the 50’s, when BBC radio comprised the Light and Third programmes and the Home Service. In those early days, they flatly refused to play anything with a modern ‘beat,’ and utterly scorned the new, and to their mind, utterly degenerate ‘Rock n Roll.’ The presenters wore dinner jackets and tuxes to the studio - even though they couldn’t be seen. Television was also strictly controlled. Dress codes were strongly adhered to, Elvis Presley was only filmed from the waist up, and even mild swear words were utterly taboo. After the Epilogue, the National Anthem always preceded the ‘test’ card which followed at around midnight. (Many families stood to attention in their living rooms while God Save the King rang out!) Was it all a good or a bad thing? Well I’m sure we all have our own opinions about that. It was however a fairly accurate reflection of society as it was during that post war recovery period. A time when we had absorbed all the violence we could stomach, and patriotism was paramount to those who had survived the conflict. Fast forward to the present day. With the advent of scores

LOVE ISLAND: A reflection of modern society?

of channels and wavelengths - all trying to create their own money tree - the first thing that goes completely by the board is any semblance of responsible or moral obligations. In fact, in their endeavours to attract more attention, some of the offerings of today’s media

are almost beyond belief. (‘OAP’s Behaving Badly’ simply pales by comparison!) I recently heard some radio station play a song whose lyrics comprised of nothing but the F word, chanted over and over again. There is a TV ‘dating’ programme that actually presents couples

to each other stark naked. Apparently some male contestants are picked as possible partners merely for the size of their manhood! Cilla must be positively spinning! Although I have never viewed the Mallorca show, to me the rules for the highly popular ‘Love Island’ however, truly do take the whole tin. This is the ‘contestants’ code’ insisted on by the producers of a programme that has been voted one of the most popular reality shows ever. Rule 1. No masturbating. 2. No total nudity. 3. No sex while drunk. And, in an almost ludicrous effort to take the moral and hygienic high ground - rule four and five informs the contestants that there is to be ‘no smoking’ on camera and that ‘condoms must be used at all times’! And if all that doesn’t reflect the attitude and priorities of our modern society, nothing does. And finally what a pleasure to watch the Ladies World Cup. A chance to really enjoy the game of football; instead of enduring a bunch of posturing, egotistical prima donnas, more worried about their hair styles and bank balances than the beautiful game. Well done England. Last eight at the time of writing. Keep the faith. Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@gmail.com

The frequency of frequencies MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING FOR the first time in a very long time I’ve been ‘phoneless for what is coming up to two weeks now (maybe more!). The first few days were devastating: I couldn’t reply to emails, answer messages, or make or take calls. I couldn’t arrange or reschedule appointments or play my game whilst waiting in lines at banks or the post office or whilst ‘resting’ after work. I couldn’t take photos of my food or the guests coming to an interview. I couldn’t post on Instagram and suddenly I had no idea what time of day it was or had the assistance of an alarm clock. Life as I had come to know it over the past two decades suddenly changed, but certainly not for the worst.

I spent more time with my family, talked with friends without having to interrupt the conversation to pay attention to someone who wasn’t even in the room, watched movies without playing or working on my ‘phone whilst doing so, went for longer walks. I woke up on time regardless of not having set my alarm and I managed to be everywhere when needed. Those who wanted to contact me did so: those who were concerned that something was wrong, as I didn’t answer the calls or messages, somehow managed to get their missive through; several even in person. I don’t miss my ‘phone. So why am I about to pick up a new one? Apart from all the reasons listed above I can’t help but reflect that it’s not just my psychological wellbeing at risk. Back around 2012, I first heard about how Apple included a safety warning in every iPhone, but unless you knew it was

PHONELESS: My life changed, but certainly not for the worst.

this in mind before going back to such a co-dependent existence, but in the meanwhile perhaps it’s a good moment to share the Apple

warning and recommendations with you to help us all keep our lives in perspective and spend less time with harmful frequencies more frequently. ‘SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines for body-worn operation if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the body. (eg when carrying iPhone in your pocket)... always follow these instructions and precautions: ‘When on a call using the built-in audio receiver in iPhone, hold iPhone with the dock connector pointed down toward your shoulder to increase separation from the antenna. ‘When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that maintain at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) separation between iPhone and the body.’

I WAS, as you’d expect, minded to write about the Middle East this week or, if not that, the UK PM wannabes or, failing that, the latest gaffe/threat of the Trump regime, but fortunately I came across a story of real AND international importance. The story I spotted was that scientists have discovered that coffee doesn’t just keep you alert; it keeps you alive. As little as two cups of coffee a day can raise your life expectancy by as much as TWO years, reducing the risk of cancer, heart problems and even neurodegenerative brain diseases. Wow! Well, not exactly another MOBO study (Masters Of the Bleeding Obvious), but I’d really love to read the methodology section of this ‘research.’ What nonsense, and how did they come up with such a random number even if TWO years is in anyway believable. Walking every day will do that for you and more. And it’s ridiculous to ignore the number of other variables in someone’s dietary habits and lifestyle to focus simply on a single item. And next week: too much coffee will be bad for your haemorrhoids! Just what ARE these researchers drinking to come up with

such conclusions? Nonetheless, I love coffee so I’m just going to accept it. Now all I need is to find studies with similar conclusions on alcohol and dairy... So, along with fake news and fake facts, we also have this so-called scientific ‘research’ from which scientists take the facts they like best, gently and carefully manipulate them, ignoring anything ‘inconvenient’ or likely to give a contrary impression. Paid for by big business with highly trained professionals happy to do anything for the money. In the end, it’s all about telling porkies, isn’t it? And telling porkies can even be extremely profitable these days. In other news, researchers discover a link

between the Pope and Catholicism. And the Marriage Foundation says marriage is good for you. Well, who’d have thought?

Are we easy targets? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man LAST week the BBC announced they were scrapping free TV licences for over 75s except those receiving pension credits. The BBC was told that it could increase the licence fee if it covered free TV licences for over 75s, but now seem to have broken the terms of that deal. How do they get away with it? They made a deal, that’s it. Anyway they have got away with it, but they shouldn’t and the government shouldn’t let them. It was probably always going to happen with scumbag, lying politicians and a massive corporation involved. But it doesn’t have to happen. If I was in charge this is how I would solve it. Advertisements. In this day and age every single bit of media exists because of advertising. It’s not the dark ages for goodness sake. I’m not even talking about normal advertising like ITV or many other stations. One idea is that every programme is sponsored by one company. They already do product placement. It would stop the silly bits of duct tape on peo-

ple’s hats, sweatshirts etc. I mean, how daft is that anyway? Another way it could be funded is by taking the lead from many apps that you have on your ‘phone. Have BBC Premium, which keeps it advert free and you pay the licence fee that you pay now or even charge a bit more. Or have BBC Light, which is free, but has ad breaks like the other 500 TV channels I have now. But either way the 75+ group wouldn’t have to pay. It really annoys me how often this type of thing happens to OAPs. Is it just we’re easy targets and believed to be of no use to them? By now everybody knows my thoughts about Donald Trump and I know that his hard core followers think he can do no wrong, but even ignoring his lies, his racist, homophobic, misogynistic remarks and his all-round, just plain ignorance he has manged to sink to a new low. He is now re-tweeting Katie Hopkins in his ramblings and if you don’t know how bad that is, google Katie Hopkins. Here’s a small resume. She’s the one that was fired from LBC in the UK after a tweet that called for a ‘final solution’ to Islamic terrorism, which, some suggested, was a reference to the extermination of Jewish people by Hitler. I don’t think anything else has to be said about her but it just confirms my feelings about Trump.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they pay the president? I live on an urbanisation of 100 properties. Only 12 properties are inhabited by permanent residents. Seven of these have previously acted as president. At the end of this year our president and vice president are standing down and there are no volunteers for the positions. We were informed at our last AGM that, if there were no volunteers, the names of permanent residents who had not previously been president would be grouped together. One of these would then be randomly selected to take over the duties of president for one year. This would be a random selection from five names. As owners who are nonresident are equally responsible for the community, should their names also be legally included in this selection? N K (Costa Blanca)

DAVID SEARL

Of course it i s b e t t e r f o r t h e YOU AND THE p r e s i d e n t t o b e a LAW IN SPAIN full-time resident of Spain, but you are right. The absentee owners must share the responsibility. Here is an idea. Recent changes in the law allow for community presidents to be paid for their services. Perhaps the offer of a stipend in the amount of community fees would attract some volunteers to be president

Enter an Aladdin’s Cave HAVING spent several years as an antique dealer, Marco Rodriguez Lopez could see that there was a need in the Marbella area for a supplier of quality second-hand items. Four years ago he therefore opened the Flea Market Second Hand store in the San Pedro Alcantara Industrial Estate and has a huge selection of reasonably priced items covering 350sqm on two floors. This is genuinely not a flea market in the traditional sense but an emporium which houses a cornucopia of useful furniture and attractive decorative items, pre-loved, vintage or in many cases antiques. Customers have entered the Flea Market and left after purchasing enough material to furnish an apartment with change from €1,500 and if you can’t find exactly what you want, then Marco has a huge warehouse full of stock which can sometimes be

Still running his antique business separately, Marco has a very wide contact list so if there is anything in particular you may be looking for then he will be more than happy to try to source it for you. Furniture of all types from classic to modernist style is the main stock, but there is a very large selection of table lamps, ceiling lights and chandeliers on display as well as Oriental and European porce-

lain and delivery is quick. This is not a junk shop so they won’t offer complete house clearances, but are always ready to visit your home to view items you may wish to sell, so if you are thinking of refurbing your property or downsizing, then do contact Marco and let him know. In addition to all of this, the Flea Market offers a restoration service so rather than throwing away a favourite chair which may be damaged, it may be possible to restore it. Open from 10am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm on Saturday, you can find the Flea Market at Edificio Luna Mac, Warehouse 20, so do call in and have a chat in English, Spanish or French with Marco and his team.

All good pals CASSANDRA NASH A WEEKLY LOOK - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

WELL that’s a turnup for the books, or should it be turnip? Vox does not believe in the EU but did not hesitate to present its list of candidates on May 26, presumably on a Trojan Horse basis. Funnily enough, the VOX EuroMPs must sit with the nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), Flemish allies of Carles Puigdemont, the self-exiled former regional president of Cataluña who declared independence on October 27 then scarpered. Vox managed to get where it is by banging on about Spanish unity and calling on the national government to send in the Army to Cataluña and now its EuroMPs are sitting with Puigdemont’s pals. You could call it democracy at work but you could also call it schadenfreude.

It’s never too late MANUEL VALLS, the former French prime minister who also happens to be Spanish - and a Catalan - ran for mayor in Barcelona under the Ciudadanos banner. In the end the most-voted parties were the pro-independence ERC and Ada Colau’s Barcelona en Comun, but Valls was brave enough not to listen to the diktats of Cs’ leader Albert Rivera. He offered his unconditional support to Colau to keep out ERC’s Ernest Maragall who pledged to use the position of Barcelona mayor to further independence. Colau took up the offer and Rivera has since disowned Valls and the three Cs councillors who followed his lead. Rivera drew his red line by ruling out any pact that would allow the PSOE to form a national government but slightly relaxed his cordon sanitaire municipally and regionally. Since the May 26 elections it is

obvious that Rivera has obtained more municipal and regional benefit from Cs’ pacts with the socialists than being in thrall to Pablo Casado and Santiago Abascal.

Hoping for the worst PEDRO SANCHEZ will go to his investiture debate without knowing who will support him. Podemos supremo Pablo Iglesias could do the dirty on him if he doesn’t get the ministry he thinks he’s entitled to. Pablo Casada can’t support him and Albert Riveraç won’t, although the PNV nationalist will probably come through, leaving just odds and sods and the Catalan separatist. So if Sanchez gets his votes that’s exactly what his opponents want: backing from the wrong quarters and a stick to beat him with. In other words, Spanish politics at their most typical and their worst.

EWN 79

Wear a yellow ribbon SO Ada Colau is once again back in Barcelona’s city hall. And what has she done? She’s hung a yellow ribbon from the balcony, causing distress to the PSOE and giving Casado, Rivera and Abascal a fit of the vapours. Colau always hedges her bets and obviously needs to placate her considerable number of pro-independence voters. Those yellow ribbons denote solidarity with the remanded members of the former regional government responsible for the short-lived UDI. But is it separatist to feel that they should not be in prison, as Colau obviously does? And quite a few people outside Cataluña for that matter.

This can be a life saver, as it means you get the support you need without shelling out cash first, or worrying about language barriers. They also arrange medical repatriation home too if necessary, including doctor or nurse escorts. • EHIC: If you live in the EU and are travelling within the EU, you get reducedcost or free state-provided medical care with a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). It’s very useful, but state facilities aren’t always so easy to access in tourist areas.

IT’S not the first thing that springs to mind when thinking of your holidays, but would you know what to do if you needed a doctor or hospital abroad? There’s no harm in being prepared is there? These days it’s easy enough to use smart phones or tablets to search the nearest medical facility wherever you are, but if you need medical attention while you’re away, these tips will help when you need it most: • Top recommendation - buy Travel Insurance!

pense medication for irritating holiday mishaps, like infected mosquito bites, upset tummy, or sunburn. • Package holidays: If you’re in a hotel or resort they can often provide details of a local medical facility (usually private). They may even have on-site medical help. Be careful that you check that any on-site medical personnel are properly medically qualified. • History: Remember, a doctor abroad won’t have your full medical history - always communicate any medical conditions and medication you are taking. • Keep receipts: for any medical treatment/medication you pay for. You’ll need them to make a travel insurance claim. Remember - not buying Travel Insurance could be the most stressful and expensive mistake you ever make. You’ll also miss out on the 24hr Assistance Service to pay costs upfront, make arrangements, and help with repatriation. It’s a small price to pay for 24hr holiday peace of mind.

YOUR STARS

“I’m taking up Forest Therapy... just not the nasty ‘outdoors’ bit.

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS

Involvement in a situation connected with someone close may not be the best option this week. Giving advice is all well and good so long as you are sure of your facts.

and you will strengthen both people and business contacts. After being busy last week, you may be inclined to take it easy. If it is the case that you really are low on energy, then use the telephone or email to full advantage to keep in touch.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)

Some disruption to your plans annoys you but there’s no point getting in a huff. Outside influences cannot be stopped but you are able to keep calm yourself. Rising to the bait will play into someone else’s hands. Although a situation must be dealt with, do it in your own time and in your own way.

Someone well and truly treads on your toes this week and it really puts your teeth on edge. There are some bridges that may not be mended at the present time and are best left alone. Show your generous side but resist the urge to give in on an important issue because you are likely to regret it later.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) It seems that you are putting a lot of effort into whatever you do without getting as much out as you would like. However, as the week goes by, you will realise that it is only a temporary situation. Sometimes, it takes others a period of adjustment before they are ready to accept changes of a personal nature.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) The brick wall that you start banging your head against this week is not an illusion. It is, indeed, true that others are not responding to you in an expected way. By Wednesday this wall will start to fall and people will be more receptive.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Everything seems an effort at the beginning of this week but as energy levels pick up you will gain momentum. Tackle one thing at a time and realise that Rome was not, indeed, built in a day. As the weekend approaches you will begin to realise that you have been far more effective than you thought.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) You really do need to come to an understanding with friends over a social matter, although this may take a little effort this week. It is clear that there are those who are less helpful than others, but this could be because of a misunderstanding.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Be a social animal this week

‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’ Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk

LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) What a lovely surprise to find that something you have always wanted is coming your way at last. Keep a firm hand with finances and take control if you want to organise things for the better.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Be cautious this week with your money. You have been aware for some time now that a change in your finances is likely. You have this in common with many others in your situation. Seeking professional help can be free and can make a big difference.

Your home life gives you the most satisfaction at the moment even though someone seems to be challenging you. Some things are best ignored until they go away of their own accord and that also often applies to people. There is a time for everything and choosing it will make a task that could be difficult that much easier.

DEAR Editor, Every year, without fail the French go on strike, they have demonstrations and generally disrupt people’s plans, particularly during the all too brief tourist season. It is, it seems, more of a hobby for them rather than any number of legitimate industrial disputes. Air traffic controllers striking and fishing boats blockading the ports are two common protests and are two monotonously regular inconveniences. Then this year, we get the Gilets Jaunes, the series of protests against their government. Blockading Paris and the auto routes, disrupting travellers at whim. I read the newspapers and yet still do not understand what they are trying to achieve. Then, I had a thought - perhaps, just perhaps these strikers and blockaders are really employees of the Spanish Tourist Board, employed to get people to come to industrially, peaceful Spain. What a cunning plan. The French are really revolting. Viva la Revolution. Stan Reynolds

Respect Spain DEAR Leapy Lee. Enjoyed your article last week very much (Issue 1772, June 20). I was told the same as you, you are an immigrant so why are you against them.

I even looked at your internet site, but could not see him, I cannot believe he was not there. He’s not camera shy, is he? Oh, and a second question, did you play his song ‘Little arrows’?

HAVE YOUR SAY

JUSTICE has been done. The La Manada ‘Wolf Pack’ gang has been convicted of rape. Finally, the 18-year-old victim of a horrific gang rape at the Pamplona bull running festival of San Fermin can move on with her life, three years after the event. Her quest for justice should never have come to this. While the police are faultless - they acted immediately in tracking down the perpetrators of the horrendous crime - the rest of the justice system is not. When the five men who took advantage of the young woman were cleared of rape and convicted instead on the lesser charge of sexual assault, there was understandable outrage in the country. No one could understand how the men - who not only assaulted the victim at least 10 times in the most depraved ways but also posted a video of the assault to a WhatsApp group called La Manada - were not guilty of rape. It came down to the interpretation of the law made by a lower court. It decided that according to the letter of the law for an assault to be considered rape then it has to be accompanied by either violence or the threat of violence - for example showing a knife. Ridiculously, the court seemed to imply that because a lone woman did not fight back against five grown men, then it was not rape. Fortunately, the Supreme Court decided otherwise. Let us hope this sets a precedent that other judges follow in future.

JORIS PLU MOST of us like things to change for the better in our lives because we know deep inside that change is good. If life in general did not change, it would be at a standstill. The way we live as we know it would come to an end very soon. So change is part of our existence. Nature changes, people change, everything changes all the time. We have known this since we were born and still many of us find it very difficult to embrace change. During our lifetime we humans condition ourselves all the time. Specially with those wonderful things that we like or love a lot. This is normal human behaviour. Nothing wrong with that. The danger, if we may use this word, lies in the fact that we get stuck in the (over) protective environment we are creating or someone else is creating for us. At that certain time when change

Fear of losing the golden cage we are in. Fear of having to let go of our daily routine life we just love so much. And this is completely understandable. So at that certain point when we hear the knocking we start resisting change.

CHANGE: Is life, is future and is inevitable.

We are putting ourselves in a protective mode, in the fight-orflight response mode. Change itself is not that difficult at all. Not as long as it brings us comfort, peace of mind, happiness and all those other positive things we like. We do not want to lose the good things in life. Of course not.

resistance. Some questions. How many times in your life have you already said after something changed that you were happy for it? Been asking yourself why you were so afraid of it? Finding out later that it was the best thing that ever happened to you? Give yourself the power, the permission to walk through any change in your life with full confidence. Start loving it, start conditioning change as a wonderful positive part of who you are. Day in, day out. Let change be your unique guide that brings you those things your soul needs. If you can do this your life will ‘change’ for the good, the better, the best. And you will walk on this planet from now on with a big smile on your face. CHANGE: Embrace it!

MOST of us are familiar with sciatica, when the discs in the lower spine (specifically L3) get compressed and start to press onto the sciatic nerve. This causes pain and tingling in the leg and buttock as well as leg weakness and pain into the foot. But sciatica is often used as a ‘catch all’ term to describe all kinds of nerve issues coming from the lower back and most of you will know at least one person who describes their pain as ‘sciatica.’ Sciatica symptoms include: • Pain in the buttocks or leg, often worse when sitting. • Burning, tingling or ‘pins and needles’ down the leg. • Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot. • A constant pain on one side. • Shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up.

Sciatica . . . in your arms? So while real, true sciatica is only from pressure on the sciatic nerve, we can get a whole host of similar symptoms from a lot of other discs. (There’s a more detailed explanation in a previous article, now on the website). Same symptoms, but in your arms? Sciatica is all about pressure on the nerve. It’s that pressure which causes the symptoms and strange sensations. This same problem - pressure on the nerve can also occur elsewhere in the spine and then these strange, painful sensations can happen elsewhere in your body. And these strange feelings can often be quite scary, including chest pain and shortness of breath and headaches as well as tingling or loss of control into the hands. Nerve pain symptoms: • Painful tingling or ‘pins and needles’ sensation in the hands,

SYMPTOMS: Include tingling or pins and needles in the arm area.

wrists and elbows • Pain moves or jumps from side to side • Pain feels sharp or searing rather than a dull ache • Feels like ‘electric shocks’ along arms or legs.

• Pain doesn’t ease with massage or treatment where you feel the pain • Weakness or shaking • Shortness of breath or chest pains • Dizziness or headaches

For more information on nerve pain and problems in the spine please check out our website www.TheBodyworksClinic.com, our Facebook page ‘Bodyworks Health Clinic’ or call us on 952 883 151.

Nerve problems and their symptoms are often incorrectly diagnosed and treated. Patients often find that the location of the pain is treated, not the cause of the pain. This creates a frustrating situation where you are receiving treatment (possibly really good treatment!) and you aren’t getting better. Or pain relief is only short term. Or you suddenly find yourself on strong medication that doesn’t seem to be having a huge impact. This is why a thorough, clinical and physical assessment is so important, it takes time to track back to the root cause of nerve pain. If we aren’t treating the true cause of the pain, then you can have a lot of treatment that won’t make the slightest bit of difference.

Moisturisers: do they help with anti-ageing? MOISTURISERS are more marketing than medicine with companies being careful to limit claims on what products do. All moisturisers will hydrate

skin by blanketing it with a layer of grease suspended water molecules. The grease holds the water in place for thirsty skin cells to dip into rehydrating as they

naturally lose water throughout the day. Dr Alexandra Stedman, a cosmetic medicine specialist, points out that although well-hydrated skin is healthy skin, healthier skin isn’t necessarily younger skin. For hydration alone there in fact exists to date nothing better than 100 per cent white petrolatum or Vaseline. The only active ingredient which may be included in a moisturiser that has the ability to slow the effects of ageing is sunscreen with moisturisers which include an SPF classified as medicines.

A GOOD TIME: Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia.

Kate Middleton snubs Queen Letizia? ROYAL fans suggested another feud brewing this week when a video circulated around social media seemingly showing Kate Middleton ignoring Queen Letizia of Spain during the Order of the Garter in London. In the video Kate exits her car, greets several people, and finally fails to acknowledge Queen Letizia who many suggested Kate should have curtsied to. The viral video clip which shook social channels, of course, shows only a few moments of the full day of festivities. In fact Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia had already greeted one another earlier that day. Photos from the event of the Duchess and the Spanish Queen show them having a good time in each other’s company. Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia appear to have nothing but a friendly and civil relationship with misleading social media posts the only evidence indicating otherwise.

The world’s best tuna! catch the tuna when they are moving towards the Atlantic Ocean. The basis of this fishing method is that the schools of tuna, upon encountering the nets do not try to go through them, but instead they follow them, enter inside and continue through, finally trapping

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com

MAY and June see the start of the tuna fishing season on the Costa de la Luz where Tarifa, Zahara, Barbate and Conil all lie as these are tuna routes. They have tuna festivals/fairs each year and Michele and I visited one of them in Zahara last year in early June. It was great eating some of the world’s best and freshest tuna, meeting top chefs and restaurateurs from around the world, wine tasting, sherry tasting and pairing wines to the tuna along with street parades, dancing and live music, it’s an exciting experience. However, it can be a bit controversial as many people are angry about the traditional fishing methods used called ‘almadraba’ (it is Arabic for place of fighting). Now Michele and I love animals

and we go to a lot of trouble to buy naturally farmed meats, organically bred, not pumped with steroids and antibiotics and we do not buy farmed fish. Many of the people, who get upset about tuna fishing that I know of, are the sort that eat cheap chicken packed with chemicals. They also choose to eat intensive farmed beef as it is cheap, but it is harmful to you in the long run. Michele and I avoid buying cheap farmed meat or fish which is why I can’t and won’t compete with cheap restaurant pricing, as great food isn’t cheap! We like to buy the best of everything including seasonal wild fish like the Bluefin Tuna from this beauti-

BLUEFIN TUNA: Seasonal wild fish from this beautiful region of Spain. ful region in Spain. But is it sustainable? Are we overfishing the tuna? Are these people right? I spoke with the EU Fisheries department about this to try and clear things up. This is what they told me: “The traditional fishing method called almadraba is one of the oldest recorded fishing systems. The almadrabas catch tuna as they swim across the Gibraltar strait, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea when they go to spawn. These traps

themselves inside the final chamber. “The fishing season for the paso almadraba traps begins in the spring and ends at the start of summer, and the season for the ‘retorno’ (the return) almadrabas begins at the end of summer and ends in the autumn. “The long story of the almadraba traps has given us a series of data that is of important scientific value. “The almadraba technique used for Atlantic Bluefin Tuna fishing is respectful to the environment and to resources,

due to several characteristic factors of this fishing system including: seasonality, location, structure, low energy consumption because of its working system, lack of waste generation, there is a limited stay time for the tuna within the structure of the almadraba. “It creates a very reduced ‘bycatch,’ because the structure uses large mesh nets, and so a high percentage of the caught tuna are adult specimens that have already bred and have spawned on several occasions, and the size and flexibility of the nets mean there is no damage to the cetacean or dolphin populations and it doesn’t have any influence on the local hydrological dynamics.” So faced with this information from the European Fishing Policy department I am happy to buy it and happy that you enjoy this premium product which is on my menu right now! Our tasting menus are becoming more and more popular and most nights this tuna dish is highlighted as one of the best tasting courses by our clients. So this week I am sharing the recipe with you. El Corte Ingles has it in stock now!

there will be some swimming in deep water required, so make sure that you have everything of value safely stowed in a waterproof bag. Once finished, the group has the chance to socialise and chat further over tapas in Benahavis village, although it is recommended that you also take a change of clothes for this rather than sit in your wet costume. There is no charge, but equally the organisers take no responsibility for any injury.

It’s a bit of a leap of faith having someone you don’t know in your house looking after your ‘little people,’ but Lamia and the team work hard to make sure that everything is in place and to give advice as and when needed. We weren’t disappointed and we will definitely keep using them.’ Home and pet owner - Lisa, cat owner in Marbella MEET DUGGIE: He needs housesitters this August in Buckinghamshire, UK.

Classic Car Club of Andalucía

CCCA summer season off to a flying start! OT only do CCCA members enjoy their driving, their cars and seeing the beautiful Andalucian countryside, they also enjoy a marvellous social scene with many parties, lunches, dinners and other gatherings. This past weekend saw the Club put on its annual Summer Ball at the Hotel Tamisa Golf as they have on 10 previous occasions! The hotel boasts one of the most beautiful settings on the coast. On a balmy summer evening tables were set up around the kidney-shaped swimming pool which, with Mijas golf course as the backdrop, provided the most stunning setting and ambience. After an hour or so of Cava and canapés and then an excellent three-course dinner, music was provided by the exceptionally talented Mark Connor and Michelle Williams, who soon had the gang up and dancing the evening away. The stage and the dance floor had been set up outside, which in turn contributed much to the marvellous ‘ambience’ being enjoyed by everyone. The evening had been organised, as usual, by the Club’s vice-president, Brian Ladd, who sadly has been rather poorly and was unable to attend. Appreciation of his efforts was shown by the huge round of applause he received when thanked by Club President, Ian Giles. The Club continues its programme of events through the hot summer months and next on the calendar will be the July dinner at Treetops Restaurante on Tuesday, July 2 where dining will be ‘al fresco’ under the stars on the beautiful terrace there. On the following Saturday, July 6, the Club will have a

Membership of this active and vibrant classic car club is possible still for owners of classic cars by contacting the Club at info@cccandalu cia.com.

Paul McCarthy and friends. which will start from the shopping centre at the Centre Comercial at Rincon de la Victoria just south of junction 252 of the main A7 towards Nerja at 11.00am on Saturday, June 29. The run will take in some fabulous scenery on the edge of the Montes de Malaga before running along a ridge with fabulous views both sides towards the sea and the inland mountains. The route will then head north before turning southwards, back towards the

sea for a coffee stop followed by more countryside and a Cava stop on the seaside. From there it is a short drive to Lo Pepe Molina in Almayate where lunch will be served. If you would like to join in the fun please contact Philip Wray at jec.costadelsol@gmail. com. Classic Car Show, Estepona We’re very fortunate that in our beautiful part of the world there is so much interest in the world of classic cars. Car clubs, rallies and shows are very much common place here. This coming weekend, June 29 and 30 there is a two-day classic car show in Estepona. Called the Festival de Coches y Motos Classicás and will be at

the Palacio de Congresos. Entry is only €10 pp and there will be music, food trucks and other refreshments available over the entire weekend. There will also be a short classic car run through Estepona on the Sunday. The run will start from the Palacio, go through to the Avenida de España with a coffee stop in the Port at Reinaldos which will give people another chance to see the cars close up. I understand there are still entries available for those wishing to go along and more information can be gleaned by contacting Lucinda Caupain, the event organiser, at costa surclasicos@gmail.com. I also hope to have more information on the Marbella Concours D’Elegance set for July in the next issue. Acquiring a Classic Car I am often asked by readers about joining the Classic Car Club of Andalucia and maybe acquiring a classic car to take part in the fun. Information on the Club can be found on the website www.cccandalucia.com or by emailing info@cccandalucia. com. Those wanting to acquire a classic car can look at the Classified section of the Club’s website, as above. That’s it for now, there will be more classic car news in this newspaper in two weeks 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.

Mallorca back in La Liga MALLORCA are back in the big tine after a stunning comeback in the second leg of their play-off final saw them overcome Deportivo la Coruña. They will be back in La Liga facing the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid for the first time in six years after they overturned a twogoal deficit from the first leg. Ante Budimir, Salva Sevilla and Abdon Prats scored during a 3-0 win in the second leg held at their home Iberostar Stadium, leading to

a 3-2 success on aggregate. The result means that they join Osasuna and Granada as the teams promoted this year. The result on Sunday led to scenes of celebrations, with thousands of fans flooding on to the pitch to salute their team at the final whistle. There were noisy scenes in Palma through the night as the celebrations continued. French Open champion and Mallorca native Rafa Nadal was in the stands to back his local team

He posted a picture of the fans’ celebrations on Instagram saying: ‘No words, incredible emotions.’ Mallorca had finished the La Liga2 season in fifth place but overcame fourth placed Albacete in the playoff semi-final. Third positioned Malaga were beaten by Deportivo who had finished sixth. In last Thursday’s first leg Deportivo had won 2-0 after Mallorca’s Marc Pedraza was shown a red card in the first half.

Past glories ARE McLaren finally showing signs of reclaiming past glories? Their Spanish driver Carlos Sainz certainly hopes so after an excellent weekend in France - home country of his team’s engine suppliers Renault saw him take sixth place and eight championship points. O f c o u r s e , t h e re i s a h e c k o f a l o n g way before he can even think about catching Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton took his sixth win of the season as he showed his mastery at the Paul Ricard circuit, a full 95.4 seconds ahead of Sainz. But at least the Woking-based team can start a challenge to be the ‘best of

the rest’ after Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull. Hamilton drove a flawless race to b e a t t e a m m a t e Va l t t e r i B o t t a s , w i t h the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc in third. Then came Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and in fifth spot was Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari. Sainz too drove a good race, with a blistering start nearly putting him into f o u r t h i n f r o n t o f Ve r s t a p p e n u n t i l Leclerc (legitimately) blocked him off. He did, however end up beating the other McLaren of Lando Norris, who nevertheless was named Driver of the Day, much to the chagrin of sections of the Spanish press.

ALEJANDRO VALVERDE has made a triumphant return to competition two months after suffering a fall, which forced his withdrawal from the classic Liège-Bastogne-Liège. For the second consecutive year he has won the Route of Occitania (France). It is some recompense for the Spaniard, who lost out on the Giro d’Italia as a result of that fall. On Sunday he started the fourth and final stage of the cycling road race with a narrow eight-second advantage over Colombian Iván Ramiro Sosa but the Movistar team had no problem defending Valverde’s first place. The last stage victory was taken by Frenchman Arnaud Demare (Groupama FDJ), who won the sprint, ahead of Sacha Modolo. The Spaniards David González and José Rojas were

Bogey course WINNER: Valverde retained his title.

fourth and fifth to the finish line. Valverde will now go to the Spanish Championships in his hometown of Murcia with more confidence. He said: “I feel very well, and as I said the other day, you

can see that the preparation and rest in these two months after the injury have been very good. Now it’s time to think about the Spanish Championships and, above all, the Tour de France.”

He added: “My objective is to help (teammates) Nairo and Mikel and to make the best possible Tour together. At no time will I be a leader; my job will be to help them 100 per cent.”

FRENCHMAN Clement Berardo was disqualified on the first day of the Andalucia-Costa del Sol Match Play 9 after he ran out of golf balls. He was on hole 16 when the embarrassing incident happened at the Valle Romano course. Tournament director Federico Paez explained: “It was very windy, the fairways are narrow and the rough is very thick vegetation.” Berardo had a bad day with a quadruple bogey nine on the first hole, a double bogey, two more bogeys and two dropped balls on holes 14 and 15.

Ana’s back: win in Italy puts her in hunt ANA CARRASCO is not going to give up her Supersport300 crown without a fight. The woman from Murcia took her first victory in 2019 and won at Italy’s Misano circuit to throw the gauntlet

down to champion leader and fellow Spaniard Manuel Gonzalez. The latter was beaten into second place on the day, but retains the lead in the race for the World SSP300 title. This win consolidates Car-

rasco’s challenge for the 2019 crown after a slow start to the season. She could do no better than eight in the first three races of the season. The turning point came in the double header in Jerez when the 22-year-old seemed

revitalised as she took two podiums. This catapulted her up the championship standings from 11th to sixth. After the win at Misano she is now in joint second alongside Dutchman Scott Deroue (Kawasaki MOTOPORT) on 64 points. He could only manage seventh in this fifth race of the season. Carrasco had to show her best qualities on the Adriatic track, as she did in Jerez, but this time with the ability to finish the job in front of a runaway quintet. Championship leader

SHE’S BACK: Ana Carrasco. Manuel González (Kawasaki ParkinGO Team) was the most dangerous enemy until the final stages, after 13 laps of a spectacular race which featured many fallers. “We have worked very well all weekend and I think we deserved to win,” said Carrasco. “It was a difficult race, because it was very hot, but it was the same for everyone.

I’m very happy, I hope to get another victory very soon.” Next up is Donnington Park in the UK, a circuit where last year she achieved a second consecutive win of the season. Her success this Sunday also has a symbolic value, since the Spaniard has become the rider with the highest number of victories in the history of WorldSSPP300 - four in total.
