COSTA BLANCA NORTH

YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION

Storm alert in the Costa Blanca THE Costa Blanca is bracing itself for an onslaught of heavy rain and storms following a weather warning from AEMET, the State Meteorological Agency. The forecasts show that a ‘gota fria’ (cold drop) is forming and the storm looks to be worse than was originally thought, so much so that AEMET has already raised the alert from yellow (risk) to orange (significant risk) for both rain and storms for the entire week. Warnings have also been issued to 299 towns across the region as they are at risk of heavy flooding based on similar warnings last year. AEMET also warned that rainfall of up to 40mm could fall in just one hour

out the week so the warnings are likely to be accurate. AEMET has updated the warning on their website

and have also sent it to the municipalities in the area in order to activate the emergency protocols in the event of heavy rains.

SERVICE: Valencia’s first robot restaurant will be operational at the end of August.

Valencia’s first robot restaurant ROBOTS are replacing waiters at a restaurant in Valencia. Crensa is the first restaurant in Valencia to introduce the new concept in customer service. From the end of August diners at the restaurant in the district of Benimaclet will have their gastronomic delights delivered to their tables by the automated servers.

The Asian restaurant, with Spanish and Chinese fusion cuisine, hope their introduction will be more than a novelty and will improve customer satisfaction. They will not take orders, nor will they be able to respond to direct requests from clients, so for the moment real human waiters are still required. The young Chinese busi-

nessman, Zhijie Yan, who came up with the idea intends that the robots will help the people who work in the restaurant and freeing them from certain tasks such as serving the dishes. Crensa’s kitchen also has six robots which will cook most of the dishes and accompaniments of this restaurant in a trend that is already known as ‘robolution.’

TRADITIONAL: The bell tower of the church of Casar de Cáceres.

Culinary world map WANDERING through the traditional whitewashed houses and narrow streets of Casar de Cáceres in the northern region of Extremadura you would be hard placed to find anything extraordinary about your surroundings. However if you stumbled upon the innocuous Museo del Queso in the centre of the village, you would soon be learning about the local cheese that has become world renowned for its unique flavour and manufacturing

processes. The town of Casar de Cáceres has been producing the famous Torta del Casar for centuries and still does so today, using the same traditional methods they used hundreds of years ago. Just eight families now produce the cheese which comes from the Merino and Entrefina sheep that graze on the local Cardoon Thistle that is common in the area. The thistle was found to give the cheese a slightly bitter flavour

and a semi liquid consistency. The sheep used are notoriously difficult to produce milk from, so it takes up to 20 sheep to produce just 2.2 pounds of cheese. So sacred is the commodity in the area that in 1999, the local councils set up a protection project called ‘Denominación de Origen del Casar,’ to maintain the integrity of the cheese, monitoring counterfeit cheese put onto the market and giving official accreditation to genuine products.

Mural vandalised

Police drones

A MURAL painted in Gandia as part of the Serpis Urban Art Project has been vandalised for the second time since last summer. The mural has been the subject of conversation in the local area as it depicts two women kissing and has caused some discomfort with the more conservative locals whilst others hail it as inspiring for shining a light on homophobia. A large ‘X’ has been painted across the mural in a sticky paint that is difficult, if not impossible, to remove. It is the second time that the mural has been defaced as last year it was spray painted. The mural was painted by artist, Flug, who will now have to travel to Gandia and attempt to repair the damaged work of art. The councillor of Culture, Nahuel González, has condemned the vandals.

DENIA Council has decided to increase the resources available to the Local Police and has launched a public call to purchase a drone that allows the local security forces to strengthen surveillance. The council believes that surveillance is essential for the safety of residents at the large events that the city hosts. The budget that was allocated by the board of the government for this surveillance device is €26,000 plus IVA (total about €32,000). The drone needs to be able to fly continuously for 35 minutes, operate with winds of a minimum of 35km per hour, be equipped with a thermal camera and be able to send videos. The drone must also meet all safety regulations such as anti-collision technology. The budget also includes an allocation for the training of four pilots to operate the drones.

Animal rights march Credit: Animal Save Gandia

MORE than 50 people took to the streets of Gandia on Sunday as part of a rally in defence of animal rights. The rally was organised by Gandia Animal Save along with the national charity, Animal Save Movement, who were impressed by the reception the rally received in the town. The march was also supported by the animal protector of Gandia. The march ended in Plaza Major where two manifestos were read by the protestors, one against slaughterhouses and another in defence of the Amazon in light of the recent social media outrage regarding the huge fires that are devastating parts of the forest. A 12-year-old girl explained to the crowd what speciesism is. Speciesism is the idea that being human is a good enough reason to have greater moral rights than non-human animals, a prejudice or bias in favour of the interests of one’s own species and against those of members of other species.

PEACEFUL RALLY: Gandia Animal Save marched through the streets in defence of animal rights (inset). The peaceful march was well received by the local residents and another one is

in the pipeline for next month to continue to raise awareness for animal rights.

The organisers always collected rubbish and cigarette ends from the beach when they visited, but decided to keep them to show people just how much rubbish is actually collected.

L’ALFÀS DEL PI installed a violet point during the celebration of the Fiestas de l’Albir, an initiative that was developed by the Department of Equality and Festivals and the association ‘Women with a Voice’ in order to prevent sexist attacks in festival environments and to provide help to women who may feel harassed. The violet point is a space in which the public are attended to and is there to help victims of any type of sexist aggression. Its purpose is to raise awareness and to allow women to enjoy the festival f re e o f h a r a s s m e n t and sexist humiliation. The association believes that the consumption of alcohol exacerbates the situation of violence against women. “It is a question of making sexist violence visible in order to eradicate it and the best way to do so is through education in values, with information,” said the councillor for Equality, Rocío Guijarro, after presenting the initiative together with the mayor, Vicente Arques, the president of Women with Voices, Margarita Luján, and the mayor of Fiestas, Óscar Pérez. The violet point of l’Alfàs del Pi was managed by members of the association Women with a Voice which is made up of victims of gender violence and was located in the Parque de los Eucaliptos over the weekend.

App released for OAPs

OAP APP: An app has been designed to help elderly people in the region. THE University of Alicante has created an app called ‘Actuasalud’ to evaluate the health and general vulnerability of people over the age of 65. The Scientific Unit for Business Innovation (UCIE) is responsible for designing and releasing this application so that nursing staff can assess the vulnerability of elderly people. It is estimated that 10 per cent of the population over 65 years is vulnerable in some way and that this fig-

ure increases by 25 per cent over the age of 85. The app can be downloaded onto mobile phones and tablets and has been released to ‘mitigate the loss of independence of older people and give life to their later years through information technologies,’ according to the Generalitat. Spain, with a life expectancy of 83.1 years, is one of the highest in the world, but in spite of this, the over-65s inevitably lose the ability to carry out basic tasks on their own.

The councillor for Innovation and Contracting, Aida García Mayor, said that with this initiative “the City Council assumes new achievements in

the chapter of promotion of the actions contemplated in the Action Plan for Sustainable Energy.” These two new charging points will bring the total in Benidorm to nine and will increase in the coming years as people turn to electric vehicles as they are less damaging to the environment and will reduce the carbon footprint of towns and cities. The charging points will be able to charge two vehicles at the same time and will have three types of sockets: two in a direct current (50 kW) and one in an alternating current (43.5 kW).

300 pools closed due to faeces A STRANGE and disgusting trend is occurring throughout the Alicante Province with people breaking into swimming pools and defecating in the water. Over 300 pools have been forced to close due to this disturbing trend as it is not safe for people to swim in the contaminated water - and nor would they want to. The pools have to be closed for 24 hours to clean them and then left for a further 48 hours to disinfect and eliminate viruses and bacteria that could cause a public health problem. This act of vandalism affects all residents who wish to use these pools and also costs the council and the businesses money to clean. The trend has gone viral and councils urge people to report anyone caught carrying out this disgusting act.

Save the date IF acting president Pedro Sanchez fails to acquire sufficient support to form a government by September 23, there will a general election on November 10. The PSOE socialist party was the most-voted in the April 28 general election but with 123 of the necessary 176 seats, Sanchez needed help that was not forthcoming in his July investiture. He picked up one vote from the PRC regionalist party in Cantabria while the remaining parties of all

colours and ideologies either voting against him or abstaining. The abstentions included Sanchez’s natural allies, Unidas Podemos, after the acting president and the PSOE executive refused to consider the coalition they expected. Sanchez is now talking to the political parties that are willing to talk to him and alPEDRO SANCHEZ: Needs support to avoid a general election.

so civic groups and organisations. His strategy is to find support for a social programme too difficult for UP and its leader Pablo Iglesias to turn down. Coalition is still not on Sanchez’s agenda and he makes no secret of fearing a Cabinet with UP ministers. “There can’t be two governments in one, like Italy,” Moncloa sources declared. The same sources admitted that although Iglesias faces a dilemma, he has the last word in avoiding a new election. Sanchez declared, “September does not exist” during the first round of negotiations prior to the July investiture attempt. While apparently ruling out a second bid, critics now claim he was already preparing for November.

UK’s new Ambassador to Spain

NEW AMBASSADOR: Hugh Elliott.

BRITAIN’s new Ambassador to Spain has arrived in the country. Hugh Elliott, a member of the UK’s Diplomatic Service since 1989, succeeds Simon Manley as Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Spain and non-resident Ambassador to Andorra. The Ambassador takes up this new role having previously been Director of Communications in the Department for Exiting the European Union. On his arrival, Hugh Elliott said: “With a wealth of cultural, commercial, and people-topeople links, the relationship between the UK and Spain is like no other, and I am proud and honoured to represent my Queen and country here in Spain.” For the Ambassador, this strong connection with Spain has been an important part of his life for decades. “I met my wife Toni while working as an English teacher at the University of Salamanca, Spain was my first diplomatic posting in the nineties and my two children were born in Madrid. I can understand why so many UK nationals have chosen to make Spain their home,” he said. He added: “We are approaching an important milestone as the UK prepares to leave the European Union on October 31.”

His message was one of reassurance to UK nationals currently living in Spain, saying: “We’ve given EU citizens living in the UK the legal certainty of their right to live and remain in the United Kingdom. And I’m very pleased that the Spanish government has put in place, through the Royal Decree, the same guarantees for British citizens in Spain.”

“

I am proud and honoured to represent my Queen and country here in Spain.”

Mr Elliott acknowledged that people have questions and concerns, and undertook that he and his team would be working hard to answer them. He also urged people to sign up to the Living in Spain guide (gov.uk/living-in-spain) where they will find the latest, accurate information on Brexit. Two key actions that UK nationals should do now is to ensure that they are correctly registered as a resident and registered for healthcare as a resident. Hugh joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1989. A specialist in the EU and the Hispanic world, he has served in a variety of roles in London and at British Embassies overseas.

He first worked at the British Embassy in Madrid from 1991 to 1996, covering EU and economic issues. He then served from 1999 to 2002 in Buenos Aires, working on economic and political issues, and from 2002 to 2006 in Paris, working on global issues and strategic threats. From 2006 to 2013, he worked at Anglo American plc, a diversified global mining company, where he was global Head of Government Relations, and where he worked extensively in Latin America, among other regions. He returned to the FCO in 2013 to take up the position of Director of Communication, responsible for the FCO’s internal and external communication and public diplomacy work. From 2017 he served as Director for Europe, then Director for International Agreements in the FCO and until this year as Director of Communications and Stakeholders at the Department for Exiting the European Union. Hugh has served in a voluntary capacity as a Trustee of the British Spanish Society and as a Trustee, then Chairman of Canning House, the UK’s centre for Latin America and Iberia. Hugh read Modern and Medieval Languages at Trinity College, Cambridge. He is married to Toni Martín-Elena. They have two children, Edward (1993) and Alba (1995).

BREXIT BRIEF Divorce settlement BORIS JOHNSON has told EU representatives that the UK will not be obliged to pay a significant portion of the £39bn ‘divorce settlement’ that was promised by Theresa May when Britain leaves the EU. In an interview with ITV after the conference Johnson said that if the UK does come out of the EU without a deal then “the £39bn is no longer, strictly speaking, owed.” The Sunday Times reported British Government lawyers had decided the amount the UK owed the EU is as little as £7bn whilst Sky news believes that this figure is closer to £9bn. An EU spokesperson has stated that the full £39bn payout would still be owed even if the UK left the EU without a deal as it was money borrowed during Britain’s involvement with the EU. Boris Johnson on the other hand believes that the entire EU board is well aware that this is not the case.

Realistic solution must be found THE G7 Summit was a tumultuous event for the UK Prime-Minister Boris Johnson over the weekend as he faced Donald Tusk and the EU board of directors in a debate as to whose responsibility it is to take the first steps towards a new Brexit deal whilst insisting that the UK is well prepared to exit the EU without a deal. Johnson was firm in his approach that the UK is well prepared for a No Deal scenario, stating in an interview after the first day of the gathering that the country could ‘easily cope.’ He was quoted by the BBC as saying that, “it all depends on our EU friends and partners” whilst Tusk expressed the opposite by stating that the ball was in

the UK’s court. The Irish backstop was a

subject of great interest at the summit as it was one of the

main reasons why Theresa May’s deal did not get through parliament. Tusk said that he was open to considering new alternatives to the backstop if they were realistic and implementable. He reiterated much of what he and the EU directors said before on the matter, that Brussels is not willing to outright scrap the backstop that would potentially leave the UK in the jurisdiction of the EU. German Prime Minister Angela Merkel was reported as saying that there was the possibility for an alternative to the Irish backstop, but held the same position as Donald Tusk when eluding to the matter of whose responsibility it was to come up with the solution.

Explosive device on the beach the Sant Sebastia beach, one of most popular beaches in Barcelona as informed by a Civil Guard spokeswoman. From the explosive’s old appearance, it is believed that it could date back some 80 years to the Spanish Civil War.

A BEACH in Barcelona was evacuated on Sunday after police found an explosive device in the water. The alarm was given after the device, located at a depth of three metres (10 feet) and 25 metres (80 feet) from the shore, was found by an off-duty police diver who happened to be swimming in the area.

SURF LOVERS: The wait for the perfect wave no longer an issue.

The wavegarden THE wait for the perfect wave is no longer an issue. Now surfers can enjoy the perfectly designed wave 365 days a year. Surfing theme parks are the new trend, aimed at surf lovers, but they have attracted increasing interest within the tourism industry. The brainchild of these artificial lagoons where waves

range from 0.5 to 2.4 metres was Basque engineer Josema Odriozola who joined forces with German economist Karin Frisch. The Spanish company Wavegarden SL, based in San Sebastian, has patented some artificial lagoons. After several years dedicated to research and development, the first two surfing facilities de-

veloped by this company opened their doors to the public in the United Kingdom (Surf Snowdonia, Wales, which receives 150,000 visitors a year) and the United States (NL and Surf Park, Austin, Texas). There are now 20 projects underway in Australia, Brazil, South Korea, United Kingdom and Spain.

Women’s Equality Day MONDAY, August 26 was Women’s Equality Day. Now, many people outside the USA may not have heard too much about it, but there is little doubt that it is now becoming a bigger and bigger event around the world. It first started in 1973 in the USA to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the 19th Amendment to the American Constitution. This enshrined women’s right to vote in the Constitution by forbidding State and Federal governments from denying the right to vote on the basis of sex. It is a big deal in the USA the President proclaims the day each year.

Congresswoman Bella Abzug of New York can be seen as the mother of the day. It was she who introduced a resolution to designate August 26 as Women’s Equality Day. On August 16, 1973, Congress approved the resolution, which stated that August 26 would be designated as Women’s Equality Day and that ‘the President is authorised and requested to issue a proclamation in commemoration of that day in 1920 on which the women in American were first guaranteed the right to vote.’ Richard Nixon issued Proclamation 4236 for Women’s Equality Day, which began: ‘The

struggle for women’s suffrage, however, was only the first step toward full and equal participation of women in our Nation’s life. In recent years, we have made other giant strides by attacking sex discrimination through our laws and by paving new avenues to equal economic opportunity for women. Today, in virtually every sector of our society, women are making important contributions to the quality of American life. And yet, much still remains to be done.’ These words are true to this day around the world, so much so that celebration of the date is becoming more and more widespread, with events held global-

ly. With this growth in popularity it has also become much more than simply a way to remember an important day in American history. It is now a way of affirming the strength of women, that they are not the weaker sex and as a symbol to show that where they are oppressed they will stand up for themselves. It’s an anniversary to celebrate women’s empowerment and to remind them about their strength. So, women around the worldget together and celebrate the day and remember all those women who have struggled in the past - and still do today - for fairness and justice.

Mosquito attacks A CAMPAIGN to halt the threat of malaria from mosquitos has been launched in Murcia. The Ministry of Health in Murcia aims to prevent the proliferation of the Tiger Mosquito that is feasting on people in the area. Tiger Mosquitos are attracted to stagnant water in ponds or swimming pools where they lay their eggs. Murcia Council has launched the campaign after a rise in the number of complaints from residents who have been bitten. A poster has been designed giving advice on the most effective ways to repel mosquitos including removing waste that can produce foul fluid where the mosquitos thrive. They also suggest people with ponds introduce fish that will prevent the water becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. The Entomological Surveillance Program is being developed by the Council of Murcia to collect data on the mosquito populations and study how they breed in order to decrease their numbers.

Passengers affected by the cancellations are being offered their money back or alternative flight dates, Spanish press reported. Security control staff at the Catalan airport have meanwhile been holding an indefinite strike since August 9, although the impact on services is slight due to the obligation to provide a minimum 90 per cent service.

Brit in Listeriosis inquiry HEALTH officials are investigating whether a British man who was taken ill in Sevilla before being hospitalised in France is a victim of the Listeria outbreak in Spain. The director of the Centro de Coordinación de Alertas y Emergencias Sanitarias (Ccaes), Fernando Simón, has confirmed that the possible first case of the outbreak of listeriosis abroad is being investigated. The centre says that the English man is thought to have eaten the La Mecha branded ‘carne machada’ meat loaf while in Sevilla. He went to a medical centre in the Andalucian capital before setting off back to England. But while en route his condition wors-

ened and he was admitted to hospital in France for ‘one or two days’ before being discharged and returning to his home country. After being notified of this case the health authorities are waiting for tests to confirm whether the strain of listeria with which he was infected is the same as that in the outbreak. So far in Spain two people - a 90-year-old woman and man aged 72 - have died from the outbreak traced to the La Mecha brand. More than 150 people have been hospitalised and hundreds more are suspected to have been infected.

Organ donation 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. As of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘opt­out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of poten­ tial donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures ­ ONT).

RECOGNISED: Police arrested the suspect following a tip-off on his whereabouts from a member of the public.

Surgeon killer suspect held POLICE have arrested the prime suspect in a dead surgeon case. A member of the public alerted police via the 091 emergency number that they had recognised the victim’s boyfriend in the street in the Carabanchel area of Madrid. A patrol was immediately dispatched to search the zone, officers identifying the man despite the fact he had changed his physical appearance. Investigators determined the detainee was

the number one person of interest shortly after the surgeon was found dead last Friday in the Tetuan district of the Spanish capital. Spanish press reported police had been on the lookout for the murder suspect at hostels around the city and at train and bus stations in the belief he could have tried to flee the country. Spanish media also reported the detainee had been accused of punching and kicking his girlfriend to death.

According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home. It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation. Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years. Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas trans­ plants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent). According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day. In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previ­ ous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid­2020 goal. In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs in­ creased to 74, from 48 a year earlier. Lung and heart are viable for 4­6 hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and liga­ ments can also be donated. A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

CRASH: The plane was blazing when the emergency services arrived on the scene.

Plane crash in Huelva A SMALL ultra-light plane has crashed in the marshes of Huelva known as Los Palitos near the town of San Juan del Puerto. The plane crash was recorded on Friday evening just after 9pm by numerous bystanders who noticed smoke and flames coming from the wetlands just a

stone’s throw away from the town centre. The emergency services responded quickly but the plane fell in a difficult to reach area which made the rescue mission complicated for the firefighters, paramedics and police force. The air ambulance was called in for this reason but

even that could not land close to the plane crash due to the surrounding body of water. At the time of going to press the pilot’s identity was unknown and there has been no information stating if there were any other passengers on board. The Guardia Civil is carrying out an investigation.

Young estate agents making their mark YOUNG estate agents are increasingly making their mark in the Spanish property sector. Agents aged under 35 are expected to close 30 per cent of house sales in Spain this year, according to FIABCI real estate federation estimates. In 2018, estate agents aged 35 or less accounted for 25 per cent overall of the country’s 500,000 property transactions. A greater ability to use technological platforms as works tools is one of the factors which

could explain the success of this age group in the property business. “The property market in Spain continues to grow and there are increasingly more active agencies and professionals,” commented FIABCI Spain President Ramon Riera. “There is very strong competition in the sector, hence gaining a competitive advantage in regard to a work model is key for development within the market.”

Parents arrested over deaths of two babies A COUPLE are under arrest over the deaths of their two babies at exactly the same age within less than a year of each other in Caudete in Albacete. Spanish media reported that the pair’s first child died at the age of four months after several days in intensive care suffering from a head injury which caused a brain haemorrhage.

Four months later the mother became pregnant again, but the second child also died at exactly the same age as its sibling, 131 days, in this case from a perforated lung caused by multiple rib fractures, according to Spanish press. The couple, who are both in their 20’s, are currently being held in an Albacete prison.

CLOSE TRAGEDY: Two men suffering from severe hypothermia and close to death rescued.

Sea rescue TWO men suffering from severe hypothermia and close to death were saved from the sea by a Gibraltarian police crew. The alarm was raised by Spain’s maritime rescue service, Salvamento Maritimo, who informed that two men were missing in the Bay of Gibraltar. The police quickly launched a cross-border search and rescue operation. After several erroneous starts, informa-

tion was received from the LNG Kano that the two men had been spotted 6.9 nautical miles into the strait. Crew on the Royal Gibraltar Police vessel Sir Francis Richards finally found the men nearly seven miles south-east of the Rock. Both men were clinging to a jet ski in the Strait of Gibraltar suffering from severe hypothermia and close to death. “The initial report suggested

that the individuals were either dead or in very poor condition,” a police spokesman said. Shortly after, the Salvamento Maritimo vessel Salvamar Atria arrived at the scene and the two men were transferred on board and given immediate medical attention by the Salvamar crew. The police spokesman added that the men would not have survived exposure to the elements much longer.

Biblical floods hit Madrid HEAVY rains and hail rocked Madrid on Monday afternoon. Vehicles were washed away by the gushing stream in streets when the skies collapsed in just a few minutes causing ‘biblical-style’ flooding and scenes of chaos. The storm started around 6pm and only lasted about 10 minutes but caused disaster in the capital’s streets. Parts of the M40 and M30 motorways were cut off, while lines 5 and 9 of the

metro were also affected. Arganda, an area just south east of the capital, saw 40 litres of hail fall per square metre between 5.30pm and 6pm. At least 50 vehicles were damaged and several vineyards destroyed. The president of the community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz declared a state of emergency and ordered the intervention of all fire units in more than 200 points of the city.

High and dry on the sand BARCELONA’S municipal police provided 174 ‘postrobbery kits’ to beachgoers whose belongings were stolen

while they were swimming. A pair of flip-flops, t-shirt, trousers and a metro ticket solved the immediate prob-

lems of victims who were visiting one of the 10 beaches along the city’s five kilometres of shoreline. The situation was still more complicated for those who were using the San Sebastian or Mar Bella nudist beaches, police said. The number of beach robberies increases each year, they revealed, as in 2016 they had to provide 20 of the kits between May and September, compared with 174 between May and mid-August this year. The robberies also confirmed that what Barcelona’s deputy mayor Albert Batlle described as a ‘security crisis’ had reached the beaches. This summer the Barceloneta police station in the city’s coastal district dealt with 853 reported thefts, 17 complaints of robbery with violence and 27 complaints that cars were broken into.

Female ‘biological man’ CASTER SEMENYA is currently fighting for her right to run competitively, after the IAAF ruled that women with a so-called difference of sexual development (DSD) would need to take hormones to lower their testosterone levels in order to compete. The South African female athlete Caster Semenya has been called ‘biologically male’ by a member of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) board of directors. José María Odriozola, a professor of biochemistry who is also the former president of Spain’s athletics body, made the comments in a recent interview. He said that Semenya is ‘biologically a man’ who has ‘a huge advantage’ over her rivals. The comments have come when Odriozola was defending the IAAF regulations on limiting testosterone levels for female athletes - limits that do not apply to male athletes. The restrictions on Semenya competing were temporarily overturned by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court on June 3, though the IAAF is trying to have them reinstated. Critics say the IAAF has been ‘blatantly racist’ in Semenya’s case.

CASTER SEMENYA: The South African female athlete has been called ‘biologically male’ by a member of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). Semenya has been battling the IAAF since 2018, when the governing body first introduced its limits on women with high testosterone levels. As a result, she was told that she could either take treatment

to change her natural hormone levels, or else compete in any men’s event of her choosing. Semenya has repeated time and again that she is a woman and intends to compete as one.

Summer: Separations and divorces. Expatriates with assets in Spain consultations on divorces and separations and the number of family court claims presented increase more.

It is a time when usually the children do not go to school, and the whole fami­ ly: parents and offspring spend more time together, and in some cases on un­ usual circumstances, differ­ ent from the rest of the year, with different people, etc. Thus, while on holiday we might think that having more free time, and with­ out the stress produced by work and children’s activi­ ties, etc, is an ideal time for couples and families, the truth is that the numbers say otherwise, and the fact may be simply that as more time is spent together there are more possibilities for potential conflicts. The truth is that this real­

ity also takes place repeat­ edly every year, and after holiday periods, also, Janu­ ary, after the Christmas holidays, is a month when more family breakdowns than normal occur. If unfortunately this hap­ pens, it is essential to pre­ pare conveniently the di­ vorce or separation and make sure that we have in place all the necessary or important documentation and information. Also, if you are an expa­ triate living in Spain or liv­ ing in your country: United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc, there are legal and practical issues that must be considered. If you live in Spain, there are concepts of internation­

al law that may be of vital importance and could de­ termine the law applicable for the divorce, the applica­ ble law and the matrimoni­ al property regime, and the application of the rules of one country or another, that could be very relevant. If you do not live in Spain, and your intention is to initiate the divor ce or separation process in your country, being part of it is your assets in Spain, so it is essential that an expert Spanish law firm in this field helps you and your lawyers. For example in di­ vorces by mutual consent, drafting the agreements one way or another may in­ volve higher costs or taxes to be paid, the possibility to

register the court order di­ rectly and or the direct change of ownership of properties in Spain at the Land Registry, etc. If you find yourself in this situation, and unfortunate­ ly it is not possible to solve your family situation, if you are a foreigner with proper­ ties or assets in Spain, whether resident or not, you should seek legal ad­ vice about the proper ad­ vice on the steps to be tak­ en, because the consequences can be very different.

Spanish fashion legends.

Luxury brands ‘made at home’ SPAIN is renowned for having some of the best beaches, tourism is after all one of the main industries in the country. Music, wine and the outgoing Spanish character is also well-known. But it is important to add that Spain also has plenty of business vision. In Spain there is a good number of entrepreneurs who have created luxury brands with the ‘made in Spain’ label which sweep across international frontiers. Tous is one of the ‘made in Spain’ brands with most success. The jewellery and accessories brand has become an object of desire in

over 52 countries. The Tous firm was founded by Salvador Tous Blaví and his wife Teresa Ponsa Mas in 1920. Loewe, one of the most representative luxury fashion houses was also founded in Spain in 1846. When it comes to fashion Spain is perhaps best known for its high-street hits: Zara, Pull & Bear, Mango… the list goes on. But there’s much more to be known of the country’s fashion scene also. The iconic Spanish label Adolfo Dominguez is the brainchild of designer-cumauthor of the same name. Dominguez, who had his hands in the fashion world

from early on - he took on his father’s boutique before becoming the first Spanish designer to launch an eponymous label in the 1980s. And then there is the famed Manolo Blahnik. This high-end shoe designer has been producing his worldfamous footwear since the 1970s and counts the likes of Bianca Jagger, Beyoncé and Madonna among his fans (the latter once described his shoes as ‘better than sex’). Now in his 70s, Blahnik still designs each model himself and has over 25,000 shoes on display in his home in Bath. A true fashion legend.

Wasted bread adds up to 60m kilos a year SPANISH households waste more than 60 million kilos of bread a year, according to a new report. An Agriculture, Fishing and Food Ministry study on food waste found 4.3 per cent of the bread bought in Spain last year ended up in the bin, adding up to 62.3 million kilos altogether. The finding prompted the director in Spain of the Too Good To Go app for fighting food waste, Oriol Reull, to point out that while the percentage seems pretty low, “it is not small in volume,” and represents an “important” impact on the environment. The report also revealed that more than 6.9 million homes in the country, around 48 per cent of the total, throw out bread; the average per household 8.2 kilos. Too Good To Go said this means that two kilos of bread per second, 7,200 kilos an hour and 172,800 kilos a day go to waste. Or to put it another way, 249 million sticks of bread in Spain alone. In terms of financial cost, taking the average price of a kilo of bread in Spain as €2.4, this translates into losses of €149.5 million annually, or approximately €19.6 per household. Too Good to Go recommends using up less than fresh bread by making toast or adding it to cooking.

Ryanair talks THE Secretary of State for Tourism has planned a meeting with Ryanair representatives and the government of the Canary Islands to discuss ways of avoiding the scheduled closures of Ryanair’s stations at airports in Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Ryanair have announced that they will stop flying to four airports in Spain and they will have to lay off 512 employees which amounts to the number of people that are currently working for the airline in these airports. The date that they have set for these significant cuts is January 8, 2020. The Ministry for Tourism in the Canary Islands and the Secretary of State for Tourism Isable Oliver hope to hold the talks with Ryanair mid-September and come to some agreement on how to minimise the impact

ASSAULTED: Driver left Malaga bus station before being attacked in La Linea.

Bus driver attacked A DRIVER on the Malaga to La Linea bus route was attacked at La Linea bus station after allegedly damaging a badly parked car as he entered the Linensel Bus Station terminal. The driver suffered injuries to his hands and face as he protected himself from the attack, where a man ‘of gypsy appearance’ reportedly jumped out of the parked vehicle and started to smash the windows on the front of the bus. The attacker then struck the driver with a heavy object, causing serious injuries

which resulted in the driver needing to be treated in hospital. The incident is the latest in a series of assaults on bus drivers, who are now calling for greater protection and awareness of the dangers they face. Just last month, three drivers had to be treated for minor injuries following attacks by members of the public in Marbella. According to police reports, the attacker has been arrested and is subject to questioning.

This was a simulated rescue organised by the town hall’s Beaches, Health and Public Safety departments to try out the beach’s lifesaving arrangements and response in an emergency. The episode began on the beach with the lifeguards’ imagined sighting of a person clearly in difficulties whilst swimming.

UNMOLESTED: Viewing salt beds without dirturbing wildlife.

More trees for salt beds CALPE Town Hall continues to improve the area adjoining the Las Salinas salt beds. Existing paths have been improved and others created, encircling Las Salinas, while a 163-metre wooden walkway allows visitors to view the salt beds without disturbing the famous flamingos and other birds during the nesting period. The town hall is currently repopulating and planting 27,800 square metres of land where vegetation was limited to bushes and dried-up mimosa trees. These have been replaced with mulberry trees, arbutus, carobs, olives, poplars, pomegran-

ates and fig trees, all native species suited to the soil and conditions in this area. The €62,213 cost has been met by the provincial council, the Diputacion, completing the Tree Reforestation Scheme that was included in Calpe’s plans submitted to Brussels for the EU’s EDUSI development fund. This initiative consists of creating a Green Corridor that will connect Calpe’s town centre with Las Salinas and the beaches, at the same time smartening the town by recovering the town’s greens spaces and regenerating run-down urban zones.

Arts fair coming up EL PORTET: Early start for summer swimmers.

Lifeguards not keeping time BEACHGOERS complained that the lifeguards arrive late each day on the local beaches. At 11am when the El Portet beach is already crowded, its lifeguards’ lookout chairs are still empty. This is when the lifesaving service is contracted to start at El Portet, together with Platgetes and l’Ampolla, all of which fly the Blue Flags guaranteeing that they meet stringent health and safety standards. Irritated visitors and residents claim that the El Portet lifesavers can be depended on to turn up 15 minutes late. They then run up the red, green or yellow flag for swimmers before taking out the first aid kits, amphibian chair and rescue kayak from the lifeguards’ post, critics said. All of this should have been completed before 11am when the lifesaving service is scheduled to start, they maintain.

Botellon side effects THE car park opposite a well-known Javea disco is a favourite ‘botellon’ location. These outdoor binge-drinking sessions generate huge amounts of rubbish removed by the street cleaners next morning but residents incensed by the noise and litter complain that the river Gorgos adjoining the car park is filling up with refuse and plastics. Once the autumn rains arrive this will be swept out to sea, endangering the marine environment, they warned.

SIGNPOSTING: A new system will advise when beach parking is not available. A SOLUTION is needed for the traffic chaos which results once the barriers to the Granadella and Barraca beaches go down. Restricting traffic to both these coves and preventing parking on their access roads has proved a success, but this does not stop the tailbacks from building up as drivers are forced to reverse their vehicles. The town hall has now installed an illuminated sign at the Guardia and Granadella crossroads, advising drivers if parking spaces are available at the beach. Alternatively it warns them when the barrier is down and this, it is hoped, will dissuade them from going any further by indicating where vehicles can be parked before taking free transport down to the beach provided by the town hall. Services councillor Kika Mata revealed that the same system is to be used for the Barraca beach, with a sign installed at the Cabo de la Nao detour.

DENIA PORT: Harbour arms deemed not safe for sightseers.

thority contacted the Local Police, ordering the breakwater’s closure owing to the massive presence of the public who were at risk as they negotiated the breakwater. They were also hindering removal of the 70 vehicles aboard the ferry and attempts to refloat the stranded vessel, the Authority said. Despite the Local Police tape that barred their way, many people ignored the official recommendation or, in some cases, walked along the other harbour arm.

JOSEP PASTOR, director of Denia’s band, has been reunited with his clarinet. The €1,500 instrument was stolen from the band’s headquarters, the Escola de Musica Manuel Lattur, and although he reported the theft, the National Police recommended searching internet sites that sold musical instruments. Pastor soon found a clarinet identical to his own advertised by a seller whom he contacted via WhatsApp, asking about the registration number that all instruments bear. This matched his own and while feigning interest in acquiring the clarinet, Pastor alerted the police who located the seller in Navarra. He told investigators he acquired it from a Bulgarian living in Tavernes (Valencia) who is no longer in Spain, but although the thief has not been apprehended, Pastor has recovered his clarinet. “I’ve been very lucky,” he said. “A musician’s instrument is one of the family.”

Regeneration plans challenged THE Protejamos la Playa group collected 27,000 signatures demanding a halt to more frontline buildings in Denia. Their principal concern is the almost-completed apartment block at Les Marines adjoining Blay Beach, which is so badly eroded that its sand has practically disappeared. Protejamos la Playa is also challenging Environment Ministry plans to regenerate the coast between Denia port and the mouth of the River Girona. “This recuperation will be of little use unless something is done at the same time to prevent the progressive destruction of the coast caused by over-development,” the group added. As well as constructing breakwaters and depositing half a million cubic metres of sand along the coast, it was also necessary to halt “new excesses” they said.

Unfortunately they are not the only blazes shrouding huge swaths of land in smoke. Wildfires also ignited this week in Alaska. Denmark dispatched firefighters to Greenland to control fires burning close to population centres. Major wildfires have also burned through Siberia, and environ-

mental activists expect them to set a new record for burn area in Russia by the end of the season. Statistics suggest that part of the reason for these recent fires is the heat. This past July was the hottest July on record. Many parts of Europe shattered heat records: France, Germany, Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom. Intense heat which has dried out vegetation and left huge areas of forests and grasslands set to ignite.

Titanic wreck footage OCEAN explorer Victor Vescovo recorded footage of the famous ship 643-kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland, where he visited the wreck in a submersible vehicle equipped with 4K-resolution cameras earlier this month. Images reveal the legendary ship is dissolving into the sea from the effects of salt water, strong currents and metal-eating bacteria. Parks Stephenson, a Titanic historian who was also on the expedition, stated the worst decay appears to be on the ship’s starboard side. “The whole deck house on that side is collapsing, taking with it the state rooms. And that deterioration is going to continue advancing. “The captain’s bathtub is a favourite image among Titanic enthusiasts, and that’s now gone,” Stephenson added.

UNVEILED: The long-awaited title of the next Bond film has finally been revealed.

Bond film title revealed THE TITANIC: Images of the legendary shipwreck reveals a rapidly-decaying wreck. The imagery captured during the exploration will also be used to calculate how long it may be until the Titanic completely disappears.

The Titanic was meant to be unsinkable, but it crashed into an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. Of the 2,227 passengers and crew aboard, only 705 survived.

THE 25th official James Bond movie will be called ‘No Time To Die’ - the news was revealed by producers on Twitter. The movie, which will see Daniel Craig play 007 for the fifth and final time, will also star Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek as ‘a mysterious villain.’ Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge is one of the writers. No Time To Die will be released on April 3, 2020 in the UK and on April 8 in the US. The official plot summary

reads: ‘Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. ‘The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.’ Producer Barbara Broccoli said Bond’s attitudes to women would move with the times.

Gowex boss faces trial

JENARO GARCÍA, founder of Gowex is to go to trial and faces up to 18 years in prison on fraudulent share price manipulation charges. The telecommunications/wi­fi company is alleged to have system­ atically invented an income stream that did not exist and therefore raised the company’s stock valua­ tion. A high court judge has ordered that oral proceedings should begin against García, for whom the anti­ corruption prosecutor is asking for 18 years imprisonment, García’s wife and Gowex advisor Florencia Maté.

By Dilip Kuner Also involved in proceedings are the secretary of the Board of Direc­ tors, Francisco Manuel Martínez, and company administrator Ignacio Navarro, and the companies Let’s Gowex and Gowex Wireless. The judge is also investigating three other people ­ Tania Roel Mosquera, Ramón Peláez and Hugo Daniel Marías ­ as ‘partici­ pants for profit,’ while he has cleared Guadalupe Esmeralda Almeida Figueroa and Javier

Martín Vaquero, people to whom Jenaro García granted the position of proxies of some of the related companies. The Gowex scandal broke in the summer of 2014 after a report by the consulting firm Gotham City Research which warned that the real value of the company’s securi­ ties was zero euros and that 90 per cent of its sales did not really exist. The Public Prosecutor’s Office also wants García to be fined €10.2 mil­ lion as well as the confiscation of the profits obtained from the sale of Let’s Gowex.

Flying cheap BUDGET airline Iberia Express has launched a campaign of dis­ counts of up to 35 per cent for internal Spanish flights called #SpanishAdventure.

The promotion is available until September 1 to fly to all of the company’s destinations in the peninsula and the Canary and Balearic archipelago, from September 16 to December 15. More information is available on the company’s website.

New boss SALES DOWN: Car industry is experiencing a downturn.

Car sales down

CAR and SUV registrations experienced a 37.4 per cent drop in the first 20 days of August, to 30,691 units, according to data from the National Association of Vendors of Motor Vehicles, Re­ pair and Spare Parts (Ganvam). This sharp decline in the annual comparison is explained by the entry into force, on September 1, 2018, of the new WLTP emissions regulations, which led brands to give big discounts to reduce their stocks of non­approved vehicles. This generated a sharp increase in registrations in August 2018. In the year so far up until August 20, the Spanish market saw a total volume of 839,850 units sold, which translates into a fall of 7.7 per cent. Company fleet purchases fell the least at 265,480 units, (2.7 per cent fewer), followed by hire companies, with 202,138 units, (­3.1 per cent) and private sales were at 372,232 units, (­13.1 per cent).

The chain, part of the Alibaba business group, owned by magnate Jack Ma, the rich­ est man in the Asian country, kept the open­ ing a close secret until a few days before it happened on August 25.

It finally announced the event through so­ cial networks as part of a ‘solve the riddle’ competition asking ‘What is going to hap­ pen?’ The general manager of AliExpress Spain, Estela Ye, commented last July in an inter­ view with Efe that it expected to finish the year with 10,000 Spanish companies on the platform.

Eurozone economic weakness EUROZONE economic activity continues to show signs of weakness, according to the PMI index. The IHS Markit indicator stood at 51.8 points this month, c o m p a r e d t o 5 1 .5 p o i n t s i n J u l y. I t i s one of the lowest increases recorded in the last six years. The gross domestic product (GDP) of the euro area saw second quarter g r o w t h o f 0 .2 p e r cent, half that in the first, and Germany recorded a contraction of 0.1 per cent. In recent months, growth in the services sector had offset a decline in manufacturing. H o w e v e r, A u g u s t saw a reversal and, as a result, companies were more cautious about hiring staff. I n i n d u s t r y, n e w orders have suffered from a decline in exports (including in intra-euro area trade). In addition, confidence in business activity over the next 12 months fell sharply in August. “Sentiment has fallen to its lowest level since May 2013, and has weakened in both manufacturing and services. “There has been some optimism in France and the rest of the euro area as a whole, while German firms expressed pessimism about the outlook for future business activity for the first time in almost five years,” says the IHS Markit report.

Banks on Brexit alert THE possibility of a no deal Brexit is gaining strength and has put the Spanish banking sector on alert. Santander, which makes 13 per cent of its profit in the UK, and Sabadell, owner since 2014 of the TSB are particularly exposed. Both have prepared contingency plans for all scenarios, including the worst scenario. Their businesses in the UK are susceptible to a fall in economic activity and demand for credit. A fall in the value of the pound, which has already lost 16 per cent of its value against the euro since the 2016 referendum and 2.2 per cent since Boris Johnson was elect­ ed Prime Minister is also bad news for the banks. In its latest financial report, San­ tander admits that a no deal Brexit could have ‘material adverse ef­ fects’ on its access to capital and liquidity. It also acknowledges that it could have ‘significant repercus­ sions’ on operations, profitability and business. To minimise the impact of Brexit, Santander agreed last year to move

its investment banking division from London to Madrid. Sabadell, for its part, faces the risk of a hard Brexit spoiling its plans to extract value from the pur­ chase of TSB, now that it has al ­ ready left behind the problems caused by the complex technologi­ cal migration last year. This caused an additional cost of €321 million in the 2018 accounts.

The goal is for the UK to con­ tribute 20 per cent of the group's profit by 2021, but that could be optimistic if there is a disorderly ex­ it. The English bank is currently run­ ning at a loss. In its half­yearly report, Sabadell admits that if the UK leaves the EU in October without an agreement there would be ‘a significant drop in foreign trade for the UK’ and that

Powering Mexico SPANISH energy company Iber­ drola will this year start the con­ struction of a combined cycle and a photovoltaic plant in Mex­ ico, with an estimated invest­ ment in both projects of €677 million. The combined cycle in Ver­ acruz and the photovoltaic park in the State of Puebla is part of a five­year plan that will see the company invest about €4.515 billion in the country. Iberdrola is also studying pro­ jects in the region for another €903 million as part of its initial contribution to the Oaxaca Pact, signed last week by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the Confederation of Industrial Chambers (Concamin) and nine governors of the coun­ try, the company has reported. The energy company esti­ mates that it will make purchas­ es from Mexican industry worth more than $3 billion dollars (€2.709 billion), which will help the country’s economic growth.

These are a mixture of com­ bined cycles, wind farms and photovoltaic, which are located in 13 states, of which about 60 per cent supply energy to pri­ vate customers. In addition, the energy com­ pany is building five plants that will come into operation this year and will raise the installed capacity in the country to more than 10,000 MW.

the economy would go into reces­ sion in 2020. In the first quarter of 2019, GDP grew by 0.5 per cent, but contracted by 0.2 per cent in the second quarter. The group hopes that the Euro­ pean and British authorities will end up taking pragmatic decisions to avoid systemic disruptions in fi­ nancial operations, according to the report.

Jobless foreigner numbers down THE number of foreigners unemployed in Spain stood at 362,296 by the end of July, its lowest level since Oc­ tober 2008, according to data from the Public Service of State Employment (SEPE). This was 1.2 per cent down on the previous month and 2.4 per cent compared to the same month in 2018. In absolute terms, the monthly decline was 4,509 unemployed, while in year­on­year terms there are now 8,875 fewer foreigners unemployed than at the same time in 2018. Of the total number of immigrants without work, 228,690 belong to non­EU countries, compared with 133,606 from EU countries. Almost six out of 10 unemployed foreigners are women (209,924 against 152,372 men) and 94 per cent are over 25 (340,086 unemployed). In addition, practi­ cally six out of 10 worked in the service sector and 16 per cent belonged to the group without previous em­ ployment. By Autonomous Community, Cataluña and Andalu­ cia registered the highest number of unemployed im­ migrants, with 68,941 and 57,856 respectively. They are followed by Madrid (52,918) and Comunidad Va­ lenciana (52,279) and the Canarias (19,594), Castilla­La Mancha (18,280) and País Vasco (17,279). The regions with the fewest unemployed immi­ grants at the end of July were Cantabria (2,900 foreign unemployed), La Rioja (2,980), Extremadura (3,410), Asturias (4,946) and Navarre (5,963).

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I’M just not too sure about all this global warm­ ing, climate change and carbon emission con­ troversy. There is of course no doubt that the Earth’s climate is shifting. The floods, storms and melting Polar caps are positive proof of that. I’m just not quite convinced that the rea­ sons for these phenomenas are actually those that all the ‘greenies’ and tree huggers would lead us to believe. After all, there were no carbon spewing au­ tos, jet guzzlers or farting livestock, (excluding the dinosaurs of course) when the world en­ dured its Ice Ages and oceans receded to reveal previously sunken mountains across the sur­ face of the Earth. One of the facts our ‘saviours’ of the planet seem to conveniently ignore, are the movements of the globe itself. Our wondrous ‘spaceship’ does not revolve smoothly on its axis. It does in fact ‘wobble’ slightly. The smallest shift of such a vast body can of course have an enormous effect on its climate. This happens roughly every 26,000 years and, according to scientists, at this mo­ ment in time we are also in the middle of our fifth major ice age. Bearing all this in mind, it stands to reason that the climatic effects we are experiencing appear inevitable and simply

require us to deal with them as best we can. I’m always suspicious of those who work in departments that earn tax payers money by spreading fear factors among the populace. Af­ ter all, if they can’t find anything to blame us for, they’d all be out of work wouldn’t they? As far as all the hysteria surrounding the

Windsors using a private jet to travel to the Balearics last week, I do agree 100 per cent that, apropos their stand on carbon emission, it certainly reeks of pure hypocrisy. I do however; question the motives of those objecting the loudest. Can I detect just a weeny touch of en­ vy tucked away in there somewhere?

I wonder how many of them, given the op­ portunity to climb aboard Elton John’s private jet and be whisked off to party on a sun drenched Mediterranean Isle would give it a second thought. Mmm? I also vehemently dis­ agree with Elton John trying to play the right­ eous card by ‘off setting’ any pollution emis­ sion damage with donations to the somewhat dubious ‘Carbon Footprint Company.’ This is the unacceptable face of the privi­ leged and arrogant, basically informing us that if you have the finances you can do just about anything. A line of reasoning that would sug­ gest that it’s ok to drive down a high street in the Bentley killing and maiming pedestrians provided you make a large enough donation to the local hospital. No, Sorry Mr John doesn’t quite wash with me. My heart went out this week to my beautiful daughter Rebecca and her partner Alba. Tragi­ cally their beloved pet was knocked down and killed by a hit and run driver outside our home. She was a wonderful and captivating sweet ca­ nine soul. We are all totally devastated.

This chat is now over! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WASN’T able do an article last week be­ cause I had to go back to the UK and over the next few articles I will remind you all why the UK now makes me extremely grumpy. But this week I’m going to grump about emojis. I’m sure you all know what they are but for those that don’t know, they are the little smiley face things that pop up when you are typing a message or a WhatsApp. The trouble is now that it’s not just a smiley face. The reason I went back to the UK was unfortunately because one of my closest friends lost a family member. I was chatting to him on WhatsApp and I asked him what day the funeral was. As I typed in the word funeral, up popped an emoji of a coffin! I couldn’t believe it. What idiotic moron programmer thought that would be a good idea? I cannot imag­ ine how my friend would have felt if, for some reason, I didn’t check and I sent the message.

That then got me thinking about the whole emoji thing. I am reliably informed that there are a considerable amount of them that have a lot of secondary mean­ ings. My 92­year­old mother­in­law uses WhatsApp and is fascinated by the emojis. However, my daughter had to tell her to stay away from the aubergines, bananas, cherries and peaches (Google them). I can’t list all the different ones here because the editor won’t let me but have a look online. It’s crazy! I often get a smiley face or a sad face, but many times people send me a message with a picture that I have no clue what it represents so I ask them ‘what’s that mean?’ I got an upside down face?? Open your message app and have a look ­ I bet there’s over 50 per cent on there you don’t have a clue what they represent. Then there is the classic that so many people make the mis­ take of using. LOL does NOT mean ‘lots of love.’ It means ‘laughing out loud.’ So do not do, as one of my older friends did when sending me a condolence message after my mum died, finish it with LOL. The whole thing is confusing, but one thing I do know is that once I just get an emoji or LOL as a reply to a message that chat is over!

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

PABLO IGLESIAS is backing a loser by pushing Spain’s moral obligation to accept the tragic migrants who pre­ fer to risk their lives than stay in their countries of birth. He might be right and this will res­ onate with Unidas Podemos voters and the socially committed. Indeed, the Spanish proudly dis­ played their lack of racism and were always happy to welcome all immi­ grants, especially well­heeled Euro­ peans. They grudgingly accepted Latinos too, who at least spoke the same lan­ guage and shared or at least under­ stood a similar culture. That has changed and one of the reasons why Vox obtained so many votes in the Andalucia elections last December was because it does not put out the welcome mat for non­ European, non­Latino immigrants. Iglesias wants to shame the tardi­ ness of the PSOE government’s re­ sponse to the Open Arms immi­ grants. Rightly or wrongly and whisper it

29 August - 4 September 2019

Win or lose soft, that could be a vote­winner, not a loser.

Could be worse THERE are worse things than the prospect of Irene Montero with a

government vice­presidency and re­ sponsibility for Social Rights and Equality. Montero, also Podemos spokes­ woman, will be remembered by many for her insistence in the past on using the totally unnecessary

‘portavoza’ for spokeswoman, such is her devotion to equality. With a degree in Psychology and a master’s in Educational Psychology she has been the partner of Podemos supremo Pablo Iglesias since 2017 and is the mother of their

It all adds up ALBERT RIVERA, Ciudadanos’ leader, is hedging his bets regarding Pablo Casado’s bright idea called Es­ paña Suma. The PP and Cs should run on the same ticket in future elections, together with Vox, Casado sug­ gests. Rivera has so far shown little enthusiasm, and why should he? Why stick his neck out and possible repel future votes from Cs’ backbone of Centrist voters? If Spain endures another general election on No­ vember 10 and in the all too likely event of another hung parliament, Rivera will get his chance of a threesome anyway, without having to sign up to anything beforehand. He’ll get his cake and eat it too.

GENERAL ELECTION: Why repel future votes?

twin sons and a daughter Aitana born earlier this summer. Montero’s vice­presidency was, is, and will be one of Iglesias’ require­ ments for supporting Sanchez. Nothing could be worse than a November general election that would do few favours for Pedro Sanchez and even fewer for Podemos. Not even having to en­ dure to by­blow words like ‘por­ tavoza.’

Loser takes all THE Partido Popular, with Pablo Casado in charge, obtained its worst­ ever general election results last April, taking only 66 seats in the na­ tional parliament compared with 137 in 2016 and losing 3.5 million votes. Not to worry, though. Bolstered by the nominally Centre party Ciu­ dadanos and Ultra­Right Vox, the PP now governs a total of 21.7 million people in Madrid, Murcia and An­ dalucia, despite not being the most­ voted party in any of these regions. This was never a question of arith­ metic, nor a triple­decker equation or even differential calculus. Casado’s feat is closer to quantum mechanics which nobody under­ stands, but which get amazing re­ sults.

BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

IN a recent survey, thousands of tutors were asked why students they’d taught failed English GCSEs. The most common reason, given by 42 per cent of respon­ dents, was using ‘slanglish’ in exams, the most commonly misspelt words and phrases being ‘tonite,’ ‘summin’ and ‘pls.’ I’m sure it’s considered elitist, but what can you expect when your ears are as­ saulted daily by the mangling of pronunci­ ation from commentators on TV and ra­ dio? Some (not all) don’t pronounce ‘ing’ at the end of any word, ever, so you get: ‘I’m standin here in Downin Street waitin to see what’s bein said after this meetin...’ If you want kids to write correctly, then they need to hear the right things in the first place, right? There is, too, a traffic re­ porter on BBC radio who does exactly the same thing: traffic is ‘quein,’ ‘passin’ or ‘slowin.’ When a listener complained about this, he was reprimanded by a BBC functionary who said they were trying to encourage regional accents. Now, I’m all for regional accents, but this is just sloppy speech. But, to be fair, you’d expect that sort of PC nonsense from the BBC.

Don’t write in slanglish if you wanna pass exams

IN A WORD: Slanglish is sloppy speech. And don’t get me started on ‘yoof’ pre­ senters. No wonder our children can’t speak ­ and therefore write ­ properly if their use of language is held up as being correct. Remember Tony Blair dropping his ‘t’s to be down with the yoof? Messaging and autocorrect are often given as the main reasons for the current situation. Nonsense! The root of the prob­ lem is simply that kids don’t read books any more. So they’re never exposed to correct grammar nor have any chance to widen their vocabulary. What hope is there they’ll ever learn it if all they ever see or hear of language is ‘txt

spk’ or the mangled noise of TV and video? While doubtless technology bears some blame for this, so too do govern­ ment educational policies that have by­ passed books as a primary aid to learning. And the average yoof’s reaction to all this: ‘I dunno wot yr bovvered abt. Jst syin.’ Nora Johnson’s crime thrillers ‘Betrayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Cler­ ambault Code’ (www.nora­johnson.net) available online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback & audiobook.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he withhold the minutes? Our community consists of an aparthotel with 130 privately owned apartments. Three quarters of these are in a letting pool, which is run as a hotel by our managing agent, who is also the community ad­ ministrator. Because of the conflict of interest and com­ plicated money transfers, we agreed by a large majority at the AGM to split the residential community from the letting business. Our administrator disagreed so we called an EGM, which we won. We also had a notary and our lawyer attend. Now the administrator will not give us the official minutes book, which we need to get the minutes registered. I have been told that we can’t proceed with a court case against him until the minutes have been regis­ tered. Can you advise? L S (Costa Blanca)

The min­ utes are property of the YOU AND THE community and the LAW IN SPAIN administrator is obliged to deliver them to the president. If your adminis­ trator is a member of the official College of Property Ad­ ministrators of your province, you can report him to the College. Any single member can go to court if he feels that his interests are harmed. Your situation is complex and you need good legal advice.

TASTY: Catherine’s gazpacho. I SPOTTED a recipe in yesterday’s copy of EWN, Cordoba Salmorejo. As we love gazpacho I decided to try it, and I had in my cupboard a large tin of chopped tomatoes ready and waiting. So simple and quick to make that I recommend everyone who still has the paper to try it... I promise you, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Olive Tree Farm. Catherine Capper

HAVE YOUR SAY

All letters by email or post should carry the writer’s address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published.

Looks more like the young lad who had not driven before, powerful(ish) Audi A4 / A6 estate, likely an automatic so foot to the floor no concept of the power and flew straight through car park doors, smacked the wall on the bend and then panicked / left his foot down and flew over the road and in­ to the garden. Certainly doesn’t look drunk and his nationality is not relevant? Expensive mistake and a costly lesson, but at least nobody was hurt; bricks, metal and garden shrubs easily replaced. Steven Clark

SPAIN has been ravaged by fires so far this year, but one thing can be said at least - the Spanish government does its utmost to supply the resources to put them out. But turn your gaze across the Atlantic and the same cannot be said about the fires devastating large swathes of the Amazon rain forest. G7 leaders at their summit in Biarritz would appear to have raised a few hackles with their comments that the disaster - if only we could call it a natural one and not man-made - must be tackled. President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil in particular has not taken kindly to in his view being lectured on the issue. He sees it as none of the G7 nations’ business and that they should not interfere in what he views as an internal issue. The retort from world leaders is that it is their business. With climate change an ever more pressing problem the Amazon needs to be protected and nurtured, not cleared for agriculture. To their credit the G7 nations have offered $20 million to help fight the fires. This is to be rejected by Brazil who shoot back that the money would be better spent reforesting Europe. And Brazil does have a point. The fight against climate change starts on our own doorstep. It is a problem that every single one of us should take action over.

Banks on Brexit alert WELL let’s just have a think about this 2016 when the people voted. Santander and other banks have supposedly got intelligent people working for them and only now have they realised these occurrences can happen. Banks are supposed to be looking to the future, but from my experience one might be better putting one’s money under the mattress. Come on banks stop all this bullshit, you always come out smelling like roses. Advice, cut major salaries and payouts for incompetence because you and shareholders are the problem, not Brexit.

DEAR Editors, The rising worldwide concern with cli­ mate change and pesticide use prompts me to record my own observations since moving to Andalucia in 2005. The biggest and most dramatic change has been in large predator/scav­ enger birds such as the larger eagles and vultures. Up until a few years ago I would train my binoculars on the western edge of the Maroma mountain range and see both enormous species using the up­ draft to gain altitude, then fly back into the mountains. This no longer occurs. I have not seen either species for years, a huge disap­ pointment for our visitors. Smaller birds such as bee­eaters and crag­martins also would flock in this area in quite high numbers, often noisily seeming to interact. Again, a thing of the past, I see them occasionally in small numbers at this time of year. A similar story with insects. Up until a few years back, ants of all types were a real nuisance, parading in columns 20 or 30 metres long, across the patio, over furniture and everywhere in the garden. Except for very few wandering around, they’ve more or less vanished. Similarly bees and wasps. This year is the first year I have rarely had to re­ move drowned bees and wasps from our pool. Flies a similar story. How these observations relate to cli­ mate change and/or pesticide use I am not qualified to say. But such huge changes do have an answer, even if maybe just a local phenomenon to this area of Axarquia. We all need to know. Anthony John Randall, Alcaucin

YOUR STARS

TIME OUT

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS

You are in a romantic mood but something is missing from the picture. It is not that you are feeling the need of having more than one string to your bow, it is more that you are tired of using the same old arrows. So, what is out there to fire your imagination? Something really new will not miss the mark with you.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) This is a brilliant week for money and business. Mars is influencing you to be more upfront and practical in your approach. You may feel changes coming on that you would rather deny. Burying your head in the sand is not an option. Take the bull by the horns and you could be surprised at your success.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You will see the lighter side of life this week when you discover that someone is holding a torch for you. You are flattered and vaguely interested. Your combination of intelligence and humour make you a delightful companion. Venus smiles on all your close relationships and you seem to be able to do no wrong. .

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is much to be tackled this week, but you are wary of making full-on decisions. Taking things one step at a time is the best policy because it gives you space to consider the options. There is a restlessness about you that is hard to pinpoint. Perhaps you are feeling positive but have to hold fire because of others. This is frustrating, but try to relax.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Energy levels go up and down and you seek to ration yours by not going all-out physically. It is still possible to be quite dynamic while planning. Indeed, your clear vision impresses a colleague. If you are due for promotion then some good news is likely. Blow your own trumpet rather than wait for others to do it for you.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The changes affecting you for the past few weeks continue but you are now getting better at managing their direction.

Someone wanting you to take a logical action should not be allowed to push you forward. When to act will be clear to you.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Someone who has been unhelpful in the past suddenly steps forward. Could you have been wrong about them? Probably not. Keep a clear mind when with them. Saturn influences you to be more organised before a bout of indecision strikes.

DARLING... TELL THEM TO SEND THE PIZZA IN A ‘VEGAN

‘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

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) The influence of Venus and Jupiter brings you the influence and status that you deserve. It's not that you haven't worked towards it but now you start to see the benefits. There is an urge to improve your appearance and surroundings to fit in with the 'new you'.

Women’s wit

‘

I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control and, at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” Marilyn Monroe

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) During the past few weeks you may have gained a different perspective on life. Your need for a close attachment and harmony in your life should not be underestimated or denied in the name of practicality.

NINJA FESTIVAL: The annual event has no ninjas willing to take on the job.

DID YOU KNOW?

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) To be truly happy you need to build on your partnerships. Keep these in balance and everything else will fall into place. Life has taught you some rather harsh lessons recently. The upshot of that is you now feel more in control and more secure.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is an all-consuming need to see some reward for all your efforts. There will be those who will tell you that you need to push harder for success. Perhaps you need to be with more like-minded people. Certainly being with the wrong colleagues can bring your spirits down.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) When needed you are sure to be positive this week. On a project, 'striking while the iron is hot' springs to mind. There is much fun to hand but it must be 'work first' at the moment. Some opportunities do not come twice and you need to be aware of them when they present themselves. Spend some quality time with your loved ones.

Famous quote

‘

THAT Japan is suffering from a ninja shortage? The Japanese city of Iga, about 280 miles from Tokyo in central Japan, has a rich history of martial arts and claims to be the birthplace of the ninja. Each year the city of about 100,000 swells by 30,000 as tourists arrive to experience the annual ninja festival. But one problem, there are no ninjas despite an incentive of $85,000 salaries for ninjas willing to take on the job. So if you’ve dreamed of becoming a ninja, now may be the time to make that dream reality.

Deadly plea IT’S Gamache’s first day back as head of the homicide department, a job he temporarily shares with his previous second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir. Flood waters are rising across the province. In the middle of the turmoil a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter. As crisis piles upon crisis, Gamache tries to hold off the encroaching chaos, and realises the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned. But with a daughter of his own, he finds himself developing a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for her distraught father. Increasingly hounded by the question, how would you feel… he resumes the search. As the rivers rise, and the social media onslaught against Gamache becomes crueller, a body is discovered. Gamache must face a horrific possibility, and a burning question. What would you do if your child’s killer walked free?

Nobody is born with an in­ nate professional knowledge about how to apply these, so the important thing is to be aware of the basic errors and then avoid them. Once you’ve opened them up, don’t pre­ sume that your false eyelashes are the correct length for your eyes. You may need to cut them slightly so that they fit correctly. Then, once you’ve applied the application glue, wait at least 30 seconds before you apply the eyelash­ es. This gives the glue time to harden and get sticky and avoids the issue of the eyelash mov­ ing around. Be very careful where you apply the eyelash­ es. Don’t leave them much above the line of your natural lash. This will create a very clean and neat effect. If your pre­night out routine involves putting on a face mask to clean your pores.

Clucking great news IT appears that eating too many eggs a day is an old wives tale after all. Recent research in Chi­ na has debunked the myth and studies instead suggest that eating at

least one egg a day may reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes. Of course, it is widely known that eggs are an

HEALTH & BEAUTY

BB Glow important aspect of a healthy diet. They are one of nature’s most nu­ tritious foods containing Vitamins A, D, B and B12, and high levels of pro­ tein. Eggs also contain lutein and zeaxanthin that can help prevent eye damage in old age. This is welcome news for the egg industry after years of bad press in which eggs have been linked to salmonella as well as cholesterol levels. However, concerns about cholesterol levels in eggs have also been widely dispelled, with findings suggesting that this has more to do with how the eggs are cooked (fried in oil, for example) than the actual egg itself.

EGG-TASTIC: Recent findings come as welcome news for the egg industry.

Dr Frankie Phillips, of the British Dietetic Asso­ ciation said that “people shouldn’t be frightened of eating too many eggs.” The only concern with eating too many, is that too much protein is being digested and this can put a strain on people’s kid­ neys. However, don’t think that you can keep your­ self in tip­top shape sim­ ply by downing some eggs. Experts in the study stressed that egg con­ sumption needs to be part of a healthy lifestyle if any benefit is to be reaped.

A SKIN glow treatment is the latest trend in skin care technology. This method of skin care is a popular treatment all over Europe, producing amazing results. The BB Glow treatment is an intensive skin treatment that uses a Dermapen to penetrate the layers of the skin. This penetration GLOWING: Intensive treatment. stimulates natural collagen production as well as offering a myriad of other benefits. Collagen is a natural protein found throughout the body, and it helps to give structure, elasticity and vibrancy to your skin. Unfortunately, as we age, our body produces less collagen, which in turn leads to wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. Stimulating collagen production can improve the look and texture of your skin and lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles quickly, safely and affordably. BB Glow treatments also supply your skin with BB serum, which is made from natural ingredients. The BB serum is applied with the Dermapen, which uses microneedles to penetrate the skin. Microneedles are so small they can barely be felt, and the treatment is gentle. The BB Glow treatment is designed to improve the look and feel of your skin fast, with visible improvements often discernable immediately after your first skin glow treatment. It improves your skin by clearing and unclogging your pores. It also speeds up the growth of new skin cells, which makes your skin healthier and brighter, and reduces the impact of ageing skin cells. Some of the improvements you may notice include: • Fewer freckles • Brighter, more radiant skin • A more even skin tone • Less skin discolouration • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles The most significant advantage of a skin glow treatment is how long it lasts. After your treatment, results can last up to four months. The treatment is safe, and the BB serum is free of parabens, fragrances, alcohol, and allergens. You’ll see results immediately, but the serum will also continue to work for two weeks after your treatment. Many clients repeat the treatment two or three times to maximise its effectiveness. At Derma Clinic Spain we now have a summer offer for this treatment. Visit us on Facebook or Instagram to see our offers, or call for your appointment.

HEALTH & BEAUTY THESE days, more and more people are beginning to un­ derstand the importance of a simpler way of life and are try­ ing to incorporate more natur­ al and healthier products, foods, methods of transport etc into their lives. Making your own natural beauty products at home is a great way of saving money, lavishing your body with the best treatments available from Mother Nature herself, whilst doing your bit for the environ­ ment at the same time. Just because a product has an expensive price tag of €40, it does not mean that it is nec­ essarily the best on the mar­ ket. More often than not it’s a case of very clever marketing! Essentially, all beauty prod­ ucts such as cleansers and moisturisers are made from the same basic ingredients, which are all fairly cheap to produce. Cleansing your skin is an es­ sential part of any skin care routine, as dirt from the at­ mosphere must be removed regularly to prevent pores from clogging and the appear­ ance of the dreaded spot, or worse still ­ spots.

Treat your skin naturally using a soap to cleanse their skin and to remove all traces of dirt and make­up, yet soap can be harsh and will upset the skin’s natural Ph balance. Using a natural cleanser is much gen­ tler and softer and will not harm the skin in any way. Common soaps that you find in the supermarket or chemists all contain caustic soda, which is otherwise known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a highly corrosive substance and chemical. As well as being used to manufac­ ture soaps and detergents, it is also used to bleach paper in paper production and in pe­ troleum refining! Below is a selection of nat­ ural recipes for cleansers that will cleanse the skin and re­ move make­up as well. Take care when applying around the eyes as the skin here is

very delicate and needs spe­ cial care. The recipes below are all made from natural ingredients and are therefore inexpensive to produce, refreshing on the skin and more importantly free from chemicals and preservatives. For this reason, they will not keep for as long as commer­ cially made products, but can be stored for several months in an airtight container. Those made with only natural prod­ ucts will have to be used with­ in a few days though. It is a good idea to make small batches to ensure that these natural products do not go off. There are several skin types ­ normal, dry, oily, combina­ tion (most common), sensitive and mature ­ so choose the recipe that best suits your type of skin.

For combination skin GO NATURAL: The more 125ml of boiling purified water natural products you use 40g ground almonds on your skin, the better. Cucumber Method Place the ground almonds into a muslin bag, secure with string and place in a bowl. Add the boiling water and leave to soak for two hours. Press the bag from time to time with a spoon. Cut the cucumber into pieces and place in a blender. Remove the almond bag and add the juice in the bowl to the cucumber. Process until smooth. Transfer to a container and refrigerate. This cleanser should be used within 4 days. For dry skin 4 tbsp of avocado oil 2 tbsp of coconut oil 2 tbsp of warm purified water 1 tbsp of emulsifying wax or ointment Method Place all the ingredients except the water into a bowl.

On the right foot THE season to ditch your socks and boots for sandals and flip­flops is well and truly upon us. However, experts say thousands of women could face crippling problems by wearing the wrong shoe size during the summer months. Many women have no idea that their summer shoes should be at least half a size bigger than their winter ones to cope with hot, swollen feet and to prevent blisters. Consultant Podiatrist Emma Supple says “Throughout winter we ig­ nore our feet, we never l o o k a t t h e m a n d w e n e­ glect them badly. So when we finally take our socks off, our feet are really prone to debilitating blis­ ters when we wear sandals a n d f l i p­ f l o p s . W h e n w e then wear the wrong size shoes it is a recipe for a foot disaster.” While anyone can have a

mishap when it comes to foot pain, it’s important to take extra care if you have certain foot health condi­ tions. Plantar fasciitis, bunions, and various com­ plications related to dia­

betes can all feel worse in the sweltering heat. By protecting your feet with the right summer shoes, many foot health problems can be avoided or at least lessened.

BURNING PAIN: It’s important to take care of your feet.

GREAT SHOW: Fifteen acts are lined up.

Third ‘Dogs’ Save My Life event at Benidorm Palace THE third ‘Dogs’ Save My life event will be held at Benidorm Palace on September 29. It is hoped the successful event, which raised €13,000 last year, will top previous years raising even more much needed cash for the Benidorm Dog’s Home and the cat charity, Manos y Patas. Christine Climent who owns Benidorm Palace offers the venue to Donna Sandland who runs the charity event to maximise the possibility of donations by the guests. They met five years ago when Donna be­ gan working for Christine. At that time Don­ na was using smaller venues in town to sup­ port the dog’s home and cat charity. Christine was looking for a local charity to support and has strong feelings about ani­ mal cruelty and well­being. Three years ago they came up with the idea of using Benidorm Palace on a regular basis to fund medical expenses and rehoming costs from the said charities. The money raised is used to take sick or injured animals from the shelters. To pay for medical expenses, place animals in foster homes and find forever homes, including transportation from local to international rehoming. The show itself will feature 15 singers, co­ medians and tribute acts, introduced by hosts David James and Tom Kidd. Making her debut with an acrobatic act

members of the public are also welcome to attend. Donations of money, dog or cat food, blankets and flea collars can be made at any time during the event at the booking office at Benidorm Palace. All of the work for the charity is done by volunteers and Donna is always looking for people to help out with the 130 dogs which need walking. Christine herself has three adopted dogs from the shelter that she had originally fos­ tered ­ Stella, Maya and Candy.

ANIMAL LOVERS: Christine Climent and Donna Sandland. will be Laura Cano Climent, the 12­year­old grandaughter of Christine and singer Ben Ashley will be performing Hallelujah during Laura’s act. Tribute acts include Take That, Whit­ ney Houston, Bay City Rollers, Meat Loaf, Kylie and Simon Lesley. They will be joined by Kim Peters, resi­ dent comedian Tito Lester, Ben Ashley, Jamie Somers, Sean Mac, Rob Richards,

Spanish thrill for Mark Wright

Caring Queen QUEEN LETIZIA, seen by some of her subjects as uncaring, is working hard on a number of worthy causes in Mozambique and around the world, a new film contends. When the TV news presenter Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano married the heir to the Spanish throne in 2004 she entered a world of privilege and public scrutiny. Unfortunately her fairy­tale has had its shares of ups and downs and her actions have met with

Documentary about Queen Letizia to be aired this Saturday in Germany. criticism on occasions. She has been labelled ‘cool and aloof.’ Matters came to a head last year when Letizia, 46, now queen, was involved in an un­ seemly ruffle with her mother­ in­law, the former Queen Sofía, as they posed for photos in Mal­ lorca. The images did not go

down well with the public and a royal rebranding was called for. This is a 45­minute documen­ tary by Julia Melchior, a German journalist who specialises in Eu­ ropean monarchies. The docu­ mentary will be aired on Satur­ day, August 24 in Germany.

Classical guitarist in Ireland DEEP in the heart of Donegal County lay the Der­ ryveagh Mountains and the Glenveagh National Park. Hidden within those mountains is a castle with a rather dark history. But on Friday it was brightened with the musical sound of one of the top classical guitarists from Spain. Isabel Martinez is regarded as one of the most outstanding and distinctive players of her gener­ ation and plays concerts across the world and

the atmospheric drawing room at Glenveagh was the ideal setting for her one­hour concert on solo guitar, titled ‘Dance in Granada.’ Isabel played pieces from the great Spanish composers from the 19th and 20th century such as Tárrega, Álbeniz and Turina. Victor Yélamo, who helped to organise the concert for the Donegal Chamber Music Society, said it was a rare treat for Donegal music lovers.

ORIGINAL star of TOWIE Mark Wright ­ he featured in the first three series of the real­ ity show ­ has always felt at home in Spain ­ and now he might realise why. The 31­year­old Essex native loves to visit Marbella on holiday ­ his cousin El­ liott owns Olivia’s restaurant just up the coast ­ and has now found out one of his ancestors was Spanish. While filming popular genealogy show Who Do You think You Are? It was re­ vealed that his nine times great grandfa­ ther was a swordsman in Andalucia. But while that was a thrilling discovery the information that his forbear was perse­ cuted for his Jewish faith was not so wel­ come. Speaking to The Sun he said: “That’s hard to take when it’s someone in your bloodline, tortured for years and burned at the stake. Knowing my family went through that ­ I can relate to it even more.”

Caesar swagger BOWLERS’ PRIVATE DINING THIS is where the Caesar salad gets its swagger from the dress­ ing. Why buy already made in a bottle when you can make it yourself. It only takes 10 min­ utes and can last for days in the fridge! This simple recipe for king prawns in a garlicky lemon sauce makes a delicious addition to your tapas spread this summer and will keep the mosquitos away! Like cava? Then you will love this peach and thyme creation, refreshing, tasty and would be the centre of attention at any dinner party this season!

!!Dani’s weekly food tip!! When selecting garlic, it should be big, plump and firm, tight silky skins with its paper-like covering intact, not spongy, soft, or shrivelled. Small ones are a pain to peel and as with all ingredients for cooking, buy the best garlic you can afford.

Follow Dani Bowler: instagram: Dani.bowler Web: www.danibowler.com

Classic Caesar dressing Ingredients 2 egg yolks 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon mustard powder 1 cup olive oil 1 garlic clove, peeled, crushed 3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce Pinch of salt Pinch of ground pepper

Method Place egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk to combine then add half the olive oil, one teaspoon at a time, to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine for about 10 minutes. Add remaining oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly to combine. Add two tablespoons warm water, one ta­ blespoon at a time, whisking constantly to combine. Add garlic, anchovy, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice to the mixture. You now have a smooth creamy dressing to add to your salad with chicken, croutons and Parmesan cheese for a tasty classic Caesar salad!

Posh cava and peach cocktail Ingredients 1 bottle of cava, chilled 1/2 cup orange juice

CAESAR SALAD: With a creamy dressing. 3 shots of triple sec or if you don’t have any use vodka 6 tablespoons of sugar 2 peaches (sliced into wedges) 3 sprigs of fresh thyme Ice

Skoda Superb Scout Hatchback 2019 AIMING to expand on its one million sold units, leading Czech firm Skoda has given its flagship Superb range a facelift for 2019 including minor aesthetic changes as well as a punchy new 2.0 TDI EVO engine. They have also added a slightly more rugged, chunkier version named the Scout. To the naked eye the changes to the standard Superb are subtle. First thing you will notice is the slightly larger front grille with more streamlined front headlights. The 2019 Scout is the first in the Skoda range that utilises a full Matrix LED system. The rear sees some minor alterations too with, again, new light clus­ ters and chrome un­ dertrim. The main difference that you may notice is the new colour way available on the Scout,

Tangerine Orange, a colour not available on the standard Su­ perb models. The ‘off­road’ moniker is also emphasised by the 15mm in­ crease in ground clearance over the standard model, increasing overall dimensions by 10mm. The interior space of both the saloon and hatchback versions have also grown slightly to some clever space saving by the boffins at Skoda. Boot space according to Sko­ da is a spacious 660 litres, ex­

pandable to 1,950 if the back­ rests of the rear seats are low­ ered. Engine wise, the 2019 Scout range offers two different op­ tions, the 2.0 TDI 190 hp DSG and the 2.0 TSI 272hp DSG, both taking advantage of Skoda’s successful 4x4 traction system. Equipment wise the Skoda comes with all the standard lux­ uries a modern day car should contain. Prices start at €44,990 for the 190hp and €45,990 for the 272hp.

2019 Mitsubishi L200 Mk6 ALTHOUGH on the surface the 2019 facelift L200 looks to have had a complete overhaul, the new model carries a lot of fea­ tures over from the previous it­ eration. The new model carries over features from its interior as well as the chassis and drivetrain, however receives a downsized engine, completely new suspen­ sion geometry and a host of new technology and driver as­ sistance features. The size of the load bed re­ mains the same, 1,520mm long and 1,470mm wide, meaning it sits slightly smaller than the Nis­ san Navara or the new Mer­ cedes X­Class, however the dif­ ferences are minimal. The five­seat, Double Cab Barbarian X is the new range topping model, equipped with a standard six­speed automatic gearbox. New technology includes

blind spot warning system with lane change assist, lane depar­ ture warning, hill start assist, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision warning with automat­ ic emergency braking and trailer stability assist. Overall the interior carries a lot of the ergonomics of the previous model, giving the inte­ rior a chunky and robust feel. Ride has been worked on for 2019 too, with improvements being made to the chassis, new springs and dampers with an in­ creased spring rate on the front axle, and a more complex rear leaf spring set­up. These aim to eliminate some of the normal, uncomfortable characteristics. The range topping model comes equipped with the downsized 2.3­litre four­cylin­ der diesel engine, 148hp and 400Nm of torque. Motorway cruising is effort­ less and getting up to speed is

no hassle. With the arrival of the new engine comes the requirement for Adblue. To make things as straightforward as possible, the new L200 comes with an enor­ mous 21­litre Adblue tank ­ Mit­ subishi claims it’ll only need re­ filling every 12,000 miles. Off road capabilities are still the truck’s forte, even with road tyres, with various off­road fea­ tures such as standard selec­ table four­wheel­drive, high and low­range gearing, a locking central differential, an enor­ mous spread of off­road modes and hill descent control. Prices start from £21,515 for the Club Cab 4Life, and go up to £32,200 for the Barbarian X.

Rins pips Marquez to win British Grand Prix

by James Warren Alex Rins claimed his second victory this year. Both riders avoided serious in­ jury, however Dovizioso was later transferred to hospital as he ex­ plained that he briefly lost con­ sciousness during the incident. This allowed Rins to move from fifth to third and confidently overtake Valentino Rossi on lap two and then start to close down on Marquez. The pair would swap positions throughout the race, with Rins looking to have slightly more pace than Marquez throughout. After a tense last lap, Rins got incredible drive out of Luffield and forced his GSX­RR under­ neath Marquez to claim victory in

one of the closest mar­ gins for a number of years. Monster Energy Yamaha rider Maverick Vinales picked off Rossi in the early stages and rode to a consistent third to complete the podium. The only British rid­ er on the grid, LCR Honda’s Cal Crutchlow scored a strong result bringing his Honda RC213V home in sixth. Dovizioso’s accident gifts Mar­ quez a now 78­point lead in the championship with seven rounds

SUZUKI’S Alex Rins claimed his second victory of the year after edging out Marc Marquez by just 0.013 seconds. The Spanish duo had been en­ gaged in a race long battle that culminated in the young Suzuki rider making a last ditch move around Woodcote and out drag­ ging the championship leader on the final straight. Marquez started strongly, con­ verting pole position into an ear­ ly lead as drama behind led to Frenchman Fabio Quartararo high siding out of Copse corner, leaving Championship contender Andrea Dovizioso nowhere to go as his bike hit the stricken Yama­ ha and vaulted into the air.

Spain beat England for bronze SPAIN’S women’s hockey team won their first Euro medal in 16 years when they beat England in the third­place playoff match at the European championships to claim bronze. And the Spanish men took silver after losing 5­0 to first­time winners Belgium in the final. The Spanish women had to come from behind to draw 1­1 at full time, then took the medal by winning 3­2 in a penalty shootout. Hannah Martin had opened the scoring for England in a close game when an interception deep in the Spanish half set her up in the 10th minute. But six minutes later Begona Garcia fired a ball into the circle and Maria Tost got enough stick on it to divert the ball past Maddie Hinch in goal. With the score level in Antwerp (Belgium) it went to a shoot­ out with England taking a 2­1 lead. But two failures in a row meant that England missed out on a medal at the event for the first time since 2003. In the final the Netherlands followed up their 8­0 thrashing of England in the semis with another impressive performance, beating Germany 2­0 with goals in the first and final quarters.

It was their sixth European final and the fifth time they have won. Kelly Jonker opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Lidewij Welten made the game safe as the final whistle ap­ proached. For Spain the bronze was not the only title they brought home. Gigi Oliva was named player of the tournament while in the men’s tournament Belgium took their first Euro title. The World Cup holders were on home soil and made the most of their noisy support to take the trophy. They had beaten Spain 5­0 in the tournament opener before posting an identical score in the final. In the third­placed playoff match the Dutch beat Germany 4­ 0 to the medal for the eighth consecutive Euro Championships. England beat Scotland 3­0 to take fifth place and condemn the latter to relegation from the top tier, leaving Wales to bat­ tle it out against Ireland to avoid the last relegation spot. Wales not only needed to beat the Irish for the first time since 2006, but by two clear goals. They completed their task emphatically with a 4­0 win, send­ ing Ireland and Scotland down in the process.

here, beating Marc. These guys are very fast and are ‘legends’ of the sport. “I knew it would be difficult to beat Marc today, but I really wanted to try, and it was fantas­ tic to do it. In a couple of the sec­ tors he was faster than me, but I could make it up in some other areas. “But towards the end of the race I felt I had better pace than him, and I told myself that I must go for it and take the chance, I saw the opportunity and I made it happen. Big thanks to everyone in the team!” Team manager Davide Brivio added: “What a win! I was hop­ ing to have a battle like this one day, especially a battle with Mar­ quez. “Alex was just great, he stayed behind, and he stayed calm, he ran a very clever race. He studied the situation and waited for the right moment to try for the win. It was perfect, fantastic. “To win against Marquez isn’t easy, and we’re very happy! Syl­ vain got some good points and he has done a great job to help us develop the bike. Everyone in the team and all the staff in Japan are working so hard, and I want to thank them all.”

Carnage on first day of la Vuelta

FOR the first time the Costa Blanca town of Torrevieja hosted a stage finish in La Vuelta a España ­ and there was carnage. A leaky paddling pool has been blamed for two teams crashing in the showcase event at kilometre 13.4 on the course round the town. It was a big honour for Torrevieja to host the first stage of the third and final Grand Tour of the season. It was run as a time trial which brought excitement to the town’s streets. Bringing a little more excitement was the paddling pool, which left a water slick across the road. With the teams averaging speeds of 54.14 kilometres per hour in perfect condi­ tions, a sudden wet patch was the last thing they need­ ed. While most teams negti­ ated the tricky stretch safely,

the UAE Team Emirates and Lotto­Jumbo saw their riders come crashing down during the timed rides, losing time over the other teams before the race was underway. Pre­stage favourites Team Jumbo­Visma lost 40 sec­ onds, with overall con­ tenders Primoz Roglic and Steven Kruijswijk caught up in the crash as their team­ mates skittled into one an­ other at the barriers. Former champion Fabio Aru lost more than a minute after his UAE Team Emirates crashed on the same corner. LA Vuelta will see riders cover 3,272.2km before fin­ ishing in Madrid after three weeks. Astana won the first stage, with 25­year­old Colombian Miguel Angel Lopez crossing the line first to earn the leader’s red jersey.

ATHLETICO MADRID continue to show their noisy neighbours how it’s done af­ ter winning at the weekend to make it two wins out of two. It promised to be a difficult start to the season for them as they try to bed in no fewer than nine new players ­ includ­ ing three of their back four ­ and cope with the loss to Barcelona of French striker Antoine Griezmann. Diego Simeone’s side may look differ­ ent in terms of personnel, but when it comes to playing style there is little change. Simeone still sets his team up 4­ 4­2 with four central players crowding midfield and the full backs providing width. And it is still bringing results, with Ath­ letico beating Leganes away 0­1 to fol­ low on from their 1­0 home win against Getafe in the first round of matches. Across the city Real Madrid are not getting the results they want. When Zinedine Zidane returned to the club he promised a revolution and demanded control of transfers to mold a team for himself. So far he has spent €300 million on four players, with most of it going on

Eden Hazard. Unfortunately for Zidane’s plans Hazard is out injured, and there is little sign of the ‘new Real.’ Barcelona, without Messi, were look­ ing to get back on track after their shock loss to Athletic Bilbao in their first match of the season. Barca’s much vaunted attack was missing Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele in their home game against Sevilla side Real Betis. Things were not looking too good when Nabil Fekir put the visitors 1­0 up early on, new boy Antoine Griezmann stepped forward to show why Barcelona were so keen to buy him.

He scored two and set up another as the Catalans went on to win 5­2. The crowd also got a glimpse of the future, with 21­year­old Carles Perez impressing (and scoring) on his first start, and Ansu Fati becoming the club’s second­ youngest player ever at 16 years and 298 days. Surprise early leaders are Sevilla where a mix of new arrivals and experi­ enced players setting up in a 4­3­3 for­ mation have seen them claim two wins. They travelled to Andalucian rivals Granada and secured a 0­1 win to follow on from their opening round 0­2 defeat of Espanyol.
