ALMERIA is looking to cast itself in a leading role on the international movie making and TV production stage. The city council has been in ongoing talks with Netflix for several months about making Almeria a ‘priority location’ for the US media giant’s productions in this country, Mayor Ramon Fernandez-Pacheco has revealed. The council also announced the idea of establishing a permanent production support centre in the provincial capital for providing materials, technology and infrastructure for film, TV series and publicity shoots. “Almeria is experiencing a

TWO loggerhead turtles which had been re c o v e r i n g f ro m i n juries in an Equinac marine life rescue association centre are back in their natural environment. Equinac personnel, Guardia Civil officers and staff from a San Jose scuba diving centre released Lucas and Aquamun back into the sea on Monday. Lucas had been undergoing treatment at the Equinac Almerimar centre for two years from a severe head injury and eye inflammation. For the first four days in the centre it was touch and go whether the turtle would survive, but two years on the loggerhead’s injury is completely healed and it is rid of the bacteria which caused the infection. For the last three months Lucas has been undergoing a programme of intense readjustment at an enclosure in the sea. A Garrucha jet-ski company came across Aquamun on August 25 tangled up in discarded fishing nets. It had a fishing line tightly wrapped round its front right fin, which was severely inflamed.

Gabriel murder trial gets underway THE trial of the woman accused of killing eight-year-old Gabriel Cruz in the Cabo de Gata national park got underway at the Almeria Provincial Court on Monday, 18 months after the little boy died. A jury will decide whether Ana Julia Quezada murdered Gabriel or is guilty of reckless homicide. The public prosecutor wants Quezada to serve a permanent reviewable prison sentence; she is the first woman in Spain to face the sentence. The prosecution has also called for an additional 10 years behind bars for psychological damage to the young lad’s parents, payment of the more than €200,000 costs for the search operation for Gabriel and some €800,000 to the family in damages. Gabriel, known to his friends and family as Little Fish, went missing from close to his grandmother’s house in Las Hortichuelas near Nijar on February 27, 2018. His disappearance sparked a huge search involving thousands of people, among them Quezada, who was the girlfriend of the boy’s father at the time. Two weeks later police charged the 44-year-old Dominican with killing Gabriel when they found his lifeless body in the boot of her car. Her defence lawyer claims she had not intended to kill the youngster. The trial is expected to continue into next week.

VIBRANT CITY: The stunning Guggenheim Museum reflects the light over the Ria de Bilbao.
THE BEATING HEART OF BASQUE COUNTRY
SOCIAL
The city of Bilbao has evolved from a looming grey industrial port in the 1970s to a cosmopolitan hive of culture, architecture and history that is a must see for anyone visiting the north of Spain.
LETTERS
SINCE the economic crisis crippled the country around 30 years ago, Bilbao has undergone a journey of rebirth to cement its place as one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Bilbao enlisted the help from famous architects and inventors such as Frank Gehry, Sir Norman Foster and Santiago Calatrava to transform the infrastructure of the city into modern day works of art, whilst still maintaining the rich heritage
that formed the bedrock of the capital of the Basque Country. Perhaps the most famous of the sights is the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim Museum. Built in 1997 the titanium construction was revolutionary, transforming the look of the river banks. Today it houses works from artists such as Anish Kapoor, Jeff Koons, Eduardo Chillida, Yves Klein and Anslem Kiefer. Bilbao is also known for its culinary de-
lights, specifically pintxos. Walking around Europe’s largest indoor market, La Ribera, you are greeted by a plethora of stalls selling the Basque tapas. Whether you enjoy walking around architectural wonders such as the Cathedral de Bilbao, the Azkuna Zentroa or the Museo Bellas Artes or want to take things easy, soaking up the culture in the beautiful Plaza Nueva, Bilbao is a city you can’t help but fall in love with.
Fugitive arrests
Bank robbers caught
POLICE detained 59 individuals facing judicial or police charges at Almeria port during checks on passengers during this year’s special OPE crossing the straits operation. They included five with European arrest warrants hanging over them. One was wanted by a court in the German city of Monchengladbach for smuggling more than 11 kilos of amphetamines in spring 2018 from Belgium to Germany, where he planned to sell the drugs. He was stopped after disembarking from a ferry from Nador in Morocco. Earlier this month police arrested a 26-year-old Moroccan wanted in the Netherlands to serve a six-year prison sentence for selling and receiving narcotics and for money laundering. The case dates back to last year when a Dutch police investigation led to the seizure from his home of 100 kilos of cocaine and a bag containing €120,000 and 1,468,500 Danish crowns in cash.
THIEVES suspected of stealing tens of thousands of euros from banks across Spain are under arrest after Huercal-Overa Local Police tipped off the Guardia Civil when they spotted the gang eyeing up a suitable target in the municipality. The Guardia said the three men and a woman had since July last year hit banks in Murcia, Granada, Gipuzkoa, Bizkaia, Burgos, Pamplona, Alicante, Valencia, La Rioja, Zaragoza, Pontevedra and A Coruña, getting away with more than €200,000. There were no weapons involved in the robberies. Prior to the thefts the four took turns to watch the staff and note how they worked at the busiest times of day. Wearing disguises and using false identities, they passed themselves off as clients and distracted the employees while one gang member swiftly stole cash. The Guardia said the four have been connected with 20 robberies, but the operation remained open.

A passion for words
A PROFOUND interest in Spanish history and culture and a talent for weaving intriguing tales with highly believable characters has proved to be a winning formula for Granada-based British author Barbara Lamplugh. Barbara’s latest novel, The Red Gene, can count Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn among fans of the story about idealistic English nurse Rose who volunteers with the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. Local literature lovers now have the opportunity to hear Barbara talk about her book in person at Libreria Bibabuk in Almeria City on Thursday September 19 at 7pm and the following evening at the Roof Garden in Mojacar, also at 7pm. Barbara told the Euro Weekly News the inspiration for Rose and developing “what I hoped was a convincing character” came in great part from delving into nurses’ first-hand accounts about their time in Spain during the civil war. But the inspiration for the plot following three generations of women came from the news thousands of Republican babies were stolen from their mothers and given to Catholic orphanages or adopted by Francoist families. “I was horrified,” Barbara said. “Issues around family, motherhood and identity tend to touch me very deeply and they’ve been recurrent themes in my writing.” Barbara did a vast amount of research for the novel. This included ‘absolutely invaluable’ interviews with older Spaniards about everyday life during the dictatorship and their family’s experiences before, during and after the war, many of which she said reduced her to tears.
“I think for a story to emotionally engage readers, it must have the drama of people’s lives at its core, but you can explore those lives in the context of real events or periods of history,” Barbara believes. Words have long been a central part of London-born Barbara’s life. A trained librarian, her first book, Kathmandu by Truck, was prompted by a life-changing overland trip to Kathmandu in 1974. This was followed a few years later by the publication of another travel book, TransSiberia by Rail.
Barbara turned her creative mind to novels she said partly because she became a mother, but also to further stretch her imagination. After six unpublished efforts, and some years after relocating to Spain, she got there in 2015 with Secrets of the Pomegranate, a more contemporary tale set in Granada. “I think my creative juices are certainly enhanced by the beauty of my surroundings and the dazzling Mediterranean light,” Barbara commented. Barbara admitted that recognition for her work is important to her. She was “thrilled” when the Labour Party leader wrote to say he’d enjoyed The Red Gene, but added, “every time a reader, any reader, tells me they loved one of my books, it gives me a huge boost and makes all the slog seem worthwhile. It took many years for me to feel confident in calling myself a writer, and now I do!” Next week’s visit to Almeria is not Barbara’s first. In fact it was a family holiday in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park in 1988 which first inspired her move to Spain 10 years later. She also knows Mojacar well. She spent a month writing in the area when she was awarded a Valparaíso Foundation residency. Barbara revealed to EWN she could imagine a future novel set in Almeria. “I’ll give it some thought,” she laughed. CREDIT: Candida Castro

Fuel tank fags found GUARDIA CIVIL found hundreds of packets of cigarettes hidden underneath a van disembarking from a ferry which does the Algeria to Almeria crossing. Officers made the discovery during a routine check on vehicles and passengers arriving from North Africa at Almeria port. They were inspecting a van with a foreign number plate driven by 38-year old EAG, and loaded up with personal belongings and furniture, when they noticed there was a double bottom at the back of the vehicle made to look like a fuel tank. A closer look revealed that inside there were 1,250 packs of Marlboro cigarettes lacking the necessary tax stamp. The Guardia said the cigarettes had a market value of €6,250. Officers detained the 38-year-old, who had been travelling with a family member and his young children.

UNCOVERED: Police found 130 marihuana plants.
Cannabis catch COMPLAINTS from local residents about repeated power cuts and a strong smell of marihuana led police to uncover an indoor marihuana plantation in a house in Retamar and arrest the owner. Police reported they found 130 marihuana plants and all kinds of machinery designed to accelerate the cultivation process. Unauthorised electricity connections in the
property in the Camino de Azabache had prompted the power outages in the area, police said. At the end of last year police dismantled another marihuana plantation in the adjacent property, and said it had been the same set-up: two air-conditioning units on the front with pipes leading down to the basement and a vehicle permanently parked over the power supply cover and intentionally hiding the meter on the property façade.

The municipal campaign is the result of a collaboration between Adra Council and the General Directorate of Traffic on promoting road accident prevention, information and awareness-raising initiatives. The local authority issued a stark reminder to motorists that distractions while driving are a factor behind approximately one in three fatal accidents on Spanish roads, particularly mobile phone or GPS use.

IN ACTION: Planning, Works and Environment councillor Belen Carnicer checks out the installation of new street lighting.
Energy efficient light switch THE switch to energy efficient public lighting in Vera is underway. Works to install LED technology streetlights started last week with the aim of saving municipal expenditure on electricity and of reducing the impact on the environment. Planning, Works and Environment councillor Belen Carnicer said the new lighting also meant an improved service, with better visual quality and greater street safety. According to the local authority the new technology will produce a cut of more than €90,000 a year in municipal electricity bills, or 67 per cent less than the amount the council currently pays.
The local administration also said maintenance costs would be less and there would be less problems with lighting. In terms of being kinder to the environment, the council said there will be an energy saving of 595,000 kWh a year and a reduction in greenhouse gases of 310 tonnes of CO2. The local authority compared this saving to the electricity consumption of some 170 homes or to reducing C02 emissions equivalent to that produced every day by 250 petrol powered cars over a 30-kilometre journey. The works have EU funding through the European Regional Development Fund as part of the 2014-2020 Operational Programme for Sustainable Growth.

The provincial administration indicated that IFAB is particularly keen to highlight Almeria’s inland areas and countryside. When Swiss tourists talk about Spain they are generally thinking only about the beach “and do not know the multiple possibilities offered by a destination like Almeria Province, which has a wide variety which means that in just one day you can go from mountain to desert and to virgin beaches and visit unique and charming villages,” commented IFAB President Peter Huggler.

The Welsh party Plaid Cymru has made the call to prevent Boris Johnson by-passing the vote by Parliament to prevent the UK leaving Europe without a deal. A UK Prime Minister has never been successfully impeached, but Mr Johnson was among those who called for Tony Blair to be impeached in 2004. Impeachment would allow Parliament to bring a Prime Minister to trial for high treason if he refuses to abide by the will of Parliament. The impeachment proposal was put forward by Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts. She said: “Boris Johnson has already driven a bulldozer through the constitution so no longer are ideas like impeachment farfetched.”

Boris Johnson has said he would rather be ‘dead in a ditch’ than plead for an extension to the October 31 deadline. Although the Prime Minister insists he does not want to leave without a deal and is convinced he can reach an agreement, he has pledged to leave the EU ‘come what may.’ Mr Johnson attempted once again to call a snap General Election, but the opposition remained firm in its demands that the law be passed first. At the same time, Mr Johnson was meeting with the Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in a bid to break the ‘back stop’ deadlock. The Taoiseach invited Boris Johnson for talks for the first time since he took the Downing Street job. Mr Vardakar warned the UK Prime Minister that there was ‘no such thing’ as a clean break with the EU, but Mr Johnson said a no-deal would be a failure that the Irish Government would bear responsibility for as well as the British Government. The back stop is a mechanism to avoid a hard Irish border. Mr Johnson has said he will not sign a deal that includes the back stop, but will never introduce checks at the Northern Ireland border.

Annual pilgrimage THOUSANDS of people turned out for this weekend’s annual Virgen del Saliente pilgrimage in Albox. The faithful travelled from as far afield as Alicante, Murcia and Granada to the Monte Real Diocesan Sanctuary to visit the image of the saint, known also as ‘la Pequeñica.’ They included provincial and local politicians, among them Andalucia government delegate in Almeria Maribel Sanchez. As is tradition, the image of the saint was hoisted onto the shoulders of pilgrims and brought out through the sanctuary’s main entrance for Sunday’s procession of praise to bless the fields of Albox and the Almanzora Valley. The weekend’s religious acts concluded on Sunday evening with the Eucharist for the sick in the Santa Maria parish church for all the local residents and the faithful who were not able to join the pilgrimage.

Call to address shrinking populations have M UN I C I PA L I T I E S called on the provincial, regional and national ad-
ministrations to take action against shrinking populations in some inland areas. An association of some 20 rural municipalities is seeking meetings with the Diputacion de Almeria, the Junta de Andalucia and the sub-delegate of the national government in Almeria with a view to looking at ways to reverse depopulation. The AMCODES Association for Sustainable Development and against Depopulation president and also
Almocita mayor, Francisco García, explained the association had been formed “with the aim of being a useful tool for our villages.” He said the idea was for the association to serve as a “valid representative” for dealing with the various administrations and “to urge them to take our demographic scenario in which we find ourselves seriously.” Almocita will host a three-day event focusing on
the sustainable villages and the rural depopulation issue over the first weekend of October, which is being organised by the Spanish Association against Depopulation in collaboration with the local council. AMCODES thanked the provincial government for supporting the event and said it had requested the collaboration of Andalucia regional government. AMCODES was formed in 2018 to bring together the Almeria municipalities experiencing dwindling resident numbers, especially those with populations of less than 1,000 inhabitants. An AMCODES statement points out that deserting villages is not only a problem in central and northern Spain, but affects rural areas in general. “Our association wants to highlight the importance of our land, culture, heritage, and resources and the right of our village’s residents to live where they choose, with the same rights and services as anywhere else”, Francisco Garcia commented. “The abandonment of our villages is producing great losses and shortages which not only affect residents, but affect everyone, as our municipalities are the heritage of the whole of society,” he added.

DRIVING FORCE: El Bandido Runners Group founder Kevin Rowe (far left) came up with the idea of the run to raise money for local charities.
Fundraising run first THE El Bandido Runners are staging the group’s first fundraising run. The run, jog or walk along the Mojacar Playa seafront promenade coming up on Sunday September 29 will raise money for the local PAWS-PATAS animal charity and MACS Cancer Support. The driving force behind the event is El Bandido Runners Group founder Kevin Rowe. Fitness enthusiasts Kevin and his wife Lesley moved to Los Gallardos from Norwich two years ago. Kevin is in fact a qualified personal trainer and has taken part in two Ironman events plus numerous half and full marathons around the world. He came up with the idea of starting the running group in June last year, and with permission from Mojacar Council arranged for people to meet for a regular walk, jog or run along the promenade. As the group began to grow, Kevin had the idea of creating an annual event, which not only brings togeth-
er members of the local community, but would also raise money for charities in the area. The run will start from in front of the Best Indalo Hotel and go up to the Red Cross roundabout and back to complete five kilometres. From 10am to 2pm participants will walk, jog or run the distance, or even further if they are really keen. The event is aimed at all age groups, but those who do not want to take part are invited to come along and support the participants and join in the fun. Money raised from the event will be split between PAWS-PATAS and MACS: Lesley does voluntary work for both. Kevin is brimming over with excitement about the upcoming fundraiser, and issued a big thanks to the sponsors for their help and support: Jemma Wilson of Rosie Lees in Turre, Nissan Andalmotor Vera, Frank Millar photographer and Daniel and Vicki Laws travel agents. He is also hoping the ini-
tiative will get increasingly bigger in future years. Apart from wanting to help raise much-needed money for excellent causes, Kevin is passionate about getting people to be more active. Running or walking is “your own space, your meditation time,” says Kevin, “plus you can socialise and enjoy the luxury of the paseo, which has to be one of the nicest places to run. “Watching the sun rise feels absolutely gorgeous: what a way to start the day in this little slice of paradise,” he enthuses. To register for the Mojacar fundraising run email elban didorunner@gmail.com and pay on the day. Entry is €5. The maximum number of participants is 250. Participants will be able to monitor their time via a special application which can be downloaded onto a mobile. The El Bandido Runners meet every Wednesday and Saturday at 8am (9am in the winter) at the Best Indalo Hotel. For further information, visit and like the Facebook page @elbandidorunners.

Local ‘kitesurf princess’ is new French champ MOJACAR teenager Osaïa Reding has won the French junior kitesurf championship. Osaïa’s victory in Leucate in the 15 to 20-year-old freestyle category followed a year of triumphs for the young sportswoman, including a world championship. Once again Osaïa was the youngest contestant, but her age was clearly no handicap as she ended a significant 10 points ahead of the runner-up in what were very challenging sea conditions. The sports press have already dubbed Osaïa the ‘kitesurf princess,’ and judging by her achievements so far she is set to reign in the sport for quite some time. Her serious approach to training, her perseverance and her passion for the sport have won her a slew of gold and silver medals from around the world. In between competitions, Osaïa keeps up her training schedule in Mo-

other athletes and followers of the high energy sport. When conditions in Mojacar are not
ideal, Osaïa looks for the right wind conditions and waves at other beaches. She has a trip to Mozambique planned for this season, followed by training in France in March with national team coach Nicolas Delmas before heading off to Dahkla, in Morocco. There are no limits to Osaïa’s ambitions. She has already taken part in promotions for the 2024 Paris Olympics, together with the greats of the sports world. This is the only title she is missing, and even though the Olympics are focused on the race category rather than her freestyle speciality, she is determined to put in the practice in the run-up to the event. Mojacar Council, one of Osaïa’s sponsors, is always keen to spotlight this young athlete’s outstanding progress and professionalism, and it is a proud moment for the whole town when she climbs kitesurf podiums around the world with her board bearing the Mojacar coat of arms.

Geode tourist appeal PULPI’S giant geode could become a major attraction for passengers on cruise ships visiting the province, according to Almeria Port Authority President Jesus Caicedo. In the opinion of the port authority president the “natural treasure” is of sufficient interest for cruise companies to include the site in the Almeria excursion offer. Caicedo went to see the incredible geode, the second biggest in the world, for himself last week. Joining him on his visit to the geological phenomenon were former Madrid mayor, Jose Maria Alvarez del Manzano, and the Renault Group communication director for Spain and Portugal, Jesus Presa. Pulpi mayor Juan Pedro Garcia commented that visits by people of influence help to highlight the importance of and promote the geode as a place of interest. Some 6,000 people visited the mine housing the giant geode in the first month it was open.

Sporty summer in Mojacar MOJACAR offers a continuous programme of sporting events for all ages and abilities throughout the year, and this summer some 1,000 people took part in various competitions. Three events took place prior to the San Agustin late August fiesta. These included the fourth Villa de Mojacar Golf Tournament staged at the Marina de la Torre, which attracted a great turnout of locals and visitors. The beach tennis championship and the Andalucian Federation petanque competition, both organised in coordination with Almeria provincial council and Mojacar local authority, saw the best teams in the region taking part. During the San Agustin festivities the popular 35th annual nine-kilometre race organised by the local council with the Nogalte athletics club brought together over 200 runners spread over all categories and ages. Participants came from all over Almeria and other provinces.
INCLUSIVE: The sports programme is aimed at all ages and abilities. The traditional clay pigeon shoot, which attracts the best shots in the area, was this year held at the Vera range. It was an extremely close competition that had six tied on 47 points, forcing a deciding shoot out. The paddle tennis match at the La Mata municipal courts was even more popular this year, with 22 registered couples. Local youngsters look forward to the fun, online games competition, which this time had to be divided into two groups due to increased num-
bers, resulting in a double tie for first and second place. The Pista Americana appeared on the agenda for the first time, where pairs of youngsters came up against some complicated, strategic challenges to put their fitness levels to the test. Football was also on the sporting agenda this summer, with the 35th traditional Ciudad de Mojacar match, this year held against Garrucha Sports Club, followed by the annual Miguel Egea Memorial which pits local veterans against younger rivals.

Donating blood in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

SPAIN’S ‘app economy’ has not stopped growing since the Apple App Store was launched in 2008. According to the latest technology data, jobs related to iOS apps have grown 26 per cent in Spain since 2016. In total, 77,000 direct and indirect jobs related to the App Store have been generated in the last 11 years. According to the data published by Ap ple, Spain ranks fifth in Europe in coun tries experiencing the greatest impact on their economy viaiOS apps.

The Catalan capital is in seventh place, with a total of 32,000 jobs directly or indirectly related to the online store. For its part, Madrid ranks 11th, with 25,000 jobs. Apple claims to have created more than 1.5 million jobs in Europe since 2008. “In this time, European developers have created some of the most exciting apps in the world, connecting with customers in 155 countries, and have earned €25 bil
lion in revenue from sales on the App Store. Nine out of 10 euros earned by Eu ropean developers come from overseas sales,” the company said. Today, applications have become a fundamental part of the smartphone business, whether on Apple mobile phones or Android operating systems. Ac cording to the consulting firm App Annie, the second quarter of this year has seen the highest number of downloads and spending per consumer to date. Con sumer spending surpassed $22.6 billion worldwide in this period, a 20 per cent in crease over the previous year.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they get a quorum? I have always thought that for an AGM, there has to be attendance of 51 per cent, including proxies. At our recent meeting we had only 25 per cent. It was then announced, ‘Therefore, the majori ty required to pass resolutions is not met, due to ab sence of the remaining co owners, despite being summoned legally.’ Our problem is that there are very few permanent residents and never many visit ing owners. C C (Costa Blanca) Standard ly, the first announcement YOU AND THE of the AGM gives LAW IN SPAIN the time and the place, and also notes that if there is not a quorum of voters present, the meeting will be held at ‘second call ing’ half an hour after the first call. The law says that a quorum to pass resolutions is 51 per cent of the owners just as you point out. The law also says that, if this number of owners and proxies is not present at the first calling, a majority vote of the owners and proxies actually in attendance at the second calling, will suffice to pass resolutions. The ab sent owners have 30 days from receiving the minutes if they wish to protest the vote.

Iberia extension plan THE European Commission (EC) has proposed that Iberia, amongst other airlines be given seven more months to adapt their shareholding to continue operating in the European Union (EU) after a No Deal Brexit. In the air transport sector, the Commission pro poses to extend the extension granted to foreign airlines to adapt to Community legislation from the current March 30, 2020 until October 24.
Iberia, part of the IAG group, would automati cally lose the capacity to operate flights between two EU cities because more than 50 per cent of its shares would belong to a UK group, which would be a nonEU country. Iberia must restructure its shareholding so that more than half of its shares are held by an EUbased company, not by third countries, a requirement for being able to operate flights between two European Union cities.

Economy forging ahead HOUSEHOLD spending is helping Spain buck the Eurozone trend where the big economies are on the verge of recession. The region’s fourthlargest economy has outperformed the Eurozone’s average growth rate of five years. This was in the past on the back of exports growth, but now its consumers that are driving its growth. Gross domestic product is expected to rise in Spain by more than 2 per cent this year, compared with less than 0.5 per cent for Germany and just over 1 per cent for the Eurozone.

Spain’s rich getting richer
BUSINESS EXTRA
Top for tourism
By Dilip Kuner THE number of ultrawealthy people in Spain has increased 74 per cent since 2011. That was the year that the country’s wealth tax was reintroduced, in the middle of the economic recession. Hacienda (Inland Revenue) figures for 2017 recently re leased show that 611 taxpay ers declared net assets of €30 million or more, com pared to the 352 who did so in 2011. When it comes to proper ty, the number of citizens who declared property worth more than €1.5 million grew 35 per cent to a total of 60,337 individuals. The wealth tax is highly controversial. It is paid on top of income or capital gains where an individual’s net assets are worth more than €700,000. Although it is a state levy the power has been de volved to the autonomous

Cataluña, which does col lect the wealth tax, takes in €498.5 million annually while in Madrid there is a 100 per cent allowance, so the super rich tax residents in the city
don’t have to pay anything. Hacienda’s figures show that in 2017 there were 71 people worth more than €100 million living in Spain. While these figures seem to show a big rise in the numbers of superrich, it could be simply that they are now visible.
A tax amnesty in 2012 un covered €40 billion that had been previously undeclared. Then in 2013 a new law was passed that forced indi viduals to declare their inter national assets or face a stiff fine. This uncovered €156 billion in assets that Spanish residents had abroad.

A political problem
CAN no one rid us of this turbulent blot? This whole Brexit debacle, which has, among other international embarrassments, made us the laughing stock of Europe, has actually achieved at least one positive result; it has finally revealed the true nature and motives of our so-called leaders. The whole fiasco has very little to do with the British public, and certainly no connection to our democracy. It is purely a battle royal between the privileged few. Arrogant elitists who, in the main, have no interest whatsoev er in how the public think or act, unless it somehow threatens their own selfcentered ambitions. These governmental manipulators, particu larly the remoaners, have shown us they will sink to just about any level to protect their vested interests. I also find it interesting in the way they are insisting Boris asks for a further extension. How can they be so sure that the EU will comply? On numerous occasions the EU leaders have told us they will in no way grant us more time. Could it be the ‘old boys’ club’ knows something we don’t? No whiff of possible collusion there surely? Heaven for bid we should suspect them of anything as
devious as that! Well, be that as it may, you can rest assured many among them have plenty to lose. Over the years dozens of MPs and peers have collectively received millions in EU subsidies. Fortyeight wealthy farmer/ landown ers claim 5.7 million a year from the EU. Over 30 former MEPs and offi cials in the House of Lords draw up to €500,000 a year in EU pensions. Many have tak en an oath of loyalty to the EU not to attack the old in stitution. (Yep!) Among them is the utterly useless Neil Kinnock (87,000 PA), Lord (Mandy) Mandelson (34,000 PA), Lord Tugendhat (41,000PA) and so on. Company leaders also put their narrow vested interests before the UK’s overall economic interests, mainly because they know they will have to pay more wages should we leave the EU.
BORIS JOHNSON: Looking for a further extension.
At the very least these people are guilty of a conflict of interest and should undoubtedly be barred from any crucial voting in these mat ters. Nope, sorry folks, I’m afraid your political preferences really don’t enter into it. The only democracy these people understand is the one that concurs with their own selfish senti ments, and they will do anything to frustrate Brexit or anything else that may threaten or interfere with their own lucrative ambitions. Well I’m here to warn them to be careful what they wish for. What these parliamentary conspirators don’t understand, is that by try ing to destroy Boris Johnson, they are taking away what could finally be a resolution to the whole sorry mess. For the first time since the referendum the public can see some light at the end of the tunnel and they won’t take kindly to seeing it snatched away yet again. It is not the public who are the instigators of all the confusion and chaos; we made our minds up three years ago. It is the politicians who are the problem. As usual!

Rolls Royce and an explosion NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England IF you ever believed that a Rolls- Royce was the only expensive and select car with an enormous presence then you would be only slightly wrong. August 2019 in the height of the summer season and RollsRoyce Mo tor Cars revealed an explosion of colour at the ‘Pebble Beach 2019 Col lection.’ Inspired by the hills, sand and sea surrounding Pebble Beach, this year’s collection is the most colourful yet. The Collection included 13 beauti ful Bespoke Commissions, offered ex clusively for the clients attending Monterey Car Week 2019. The collection was led by the brand’s flagship, Phantom. Rolls Royce Bespoke designers have dressed this Phantom in a shimmer ing Black Diamond and Gold Bespoke exterior. The interior features the RollsRoyce Phantom Gallery, an indi

Cullinan, the bespoke division of RollsRoyce Motor Cars marked its second year at Pebble Beach with some of the most extensive Bespoke designs in the ‘Pebble Beach 2019 Collection.’ The four vehicles on dis play during the week feature colours including Burnout Grey, Black Green, Iced Gunmetal and Galilea Blue. The iced finish showcases one of the most popular innovations from
the paint specialists at RollsRoyce. The subtle finish offers the solid effect of matte colours with an elegant shine. Colour innovations are nothing new to a design group that has built finishes using glass, silver, gold and di amonds for Bespoke Commissions. Following recent years of alternat ing drought, fire and rain, the Mon terey Peninsula this year was a sea of colourful wildflowers. Highlighting this year’s debuts were a trio of Bespoke motor cars showcasing the creative colour capabilities of the artisan de signers in Goodwood, Sussex the home of RollsRoyce. The Pastel Col
lection draws upon a palette of colours from this year’s ‘wildflower super bloom’ on the Monterey Penin sula. The collection included three oneofone Black Badge Commissions adding new colours to the RollsRoyce Bespoke palette and reaffirming the idea that a RollsRoyce Black Badge doesn’t have to be black. The collection starts with Ghost Black Badge in Light Green Solid, a new Bespoke exterior finish. The pas tel green represents the rebirth of the flora on the peninsula following the years of drought and fire. The hand crafted leather interior is Black with a
striking Serenity Green splash high lighting the iconic Black Badge techni cal Fibre. The drophead creation among the collection is Dawn Black Badge in Coral Solid which showcases the Be spoke finish that can only come after seven coats of paint and more than nine hours of hand polishing in the Surface Finish Centre at the Home of RollsRoyce, Goodwood. The new pastel colour carries over to the Be spoke Aero Cowling, giving Dawn a colourful yet aggressive exterior. The Dawn Black Badge interior is finished in Artic White and Sunset carrying over the visual imagery of the bloom ing northern California hills and val leys. The final piece of the trio is Wraith Black Badge in Semaphore Yellow, a bright and sunny finish for the most powerful member of the RollsRoyce family. Wraith Black Badge features a Selby Grey and Lemon interior with the iconic RollsRoyce Black Badge Starlight Headliner. The ‘RollsRoyce 2019 Pastel Collection’ presents Black Badge unlike you’ve ever seen before. Nick Horne, London, England

LETTERS FROM CANARIES
Into September, fingers crossed
By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com AUGUST’S wildfire in Gran Canaria, with 10,000 evacuated, destroyed 9,200 hectares of protected natural space, homes, livings, livestock, ways of life. It could happen again. We’re very vulnerable. Experts and politicians are meeting (and lunching) now to produce the final cost figure, without which no disaster is complete. New Canarian president, Ángel Víctor Torres, said: “It’s too early to be exact, but it’ll be millions.” The relevance of these damage assessments is questionable, given the limited comparisons they invite, like ‘fire x was worse than y.’ What’s dangerous (though safer ground for politicians) is that these interpretations distract attention from more important issues. Can money anyway reboot lost communities? Doubtful, especially for those which were horribly aware that, with no help to clear tinder around their villages, they’d burn. Requests for help fell on deaf ears. They burnt. But the big, really important, never asked question, is: ‘How much would it have cost to avoid
FEATURE
WILDFIRES: It could happen again, we are very vulnerable. this disaster, compared with what it’s cost to suffer it?’ Here’s a conversation I had in California (still shaky after a big fire here): Friend, helicopter pilot Mike: Hey Barbara. What happened in the fire on La Gomera? Me: Dreadful... I thought of you often, the firemen and plane and helicopter pilots were heroes...The problems came at night... You know... Everybody has to pull out when it gets dark... the wind changes...the fire picks up. Mike: What? Pull out at night? Why? Me: Erm, well... you can’t fly at night...
can you? Mike: Whaaaat? You’re kidding? Only by day? No way! No NVT? Me (shocked): No! What’s NVT? Mike: Night vision technology. Me: Is it new? Mike: Naah, the infra-red’s old. We’ve had it since the 70’s, fitted into old Huey choppers from the Vietnam war. There’s a bunch of newer stuff too. So there it is. Californian firefighters have special night
flying equipment, but ours don’t. NVT of course exists in Europe, but is mostly used by airforces to hit targets and kill people more efficiently in the dark, while firefighters exhaust themselves all day fighting fires, then night comes and the fire’s left to do its worst. A kind of one step forward, two back cha cha. To get things in perspective, we don’t even have a single hydroplane based in the Canaries, let alone one with NVT, although a fleet of 20 F18 Hornet fighter planes is based at Gando, should we feel a sudden desire for war. A www.change.org petition for a permanent hydroplane and helicopter base quickly attracted a quarter of a million signatures, unsurprisingly. Fires are an exponentially increasing risk, everywhere. Even the Artic’s burning. Why are we ostriching reality and not tooling up for the obvious? A bigger Gran Canaria fire in 2007 (19,000 hectares burnt, 20,000 animals killed, 400 homes lost) ‘cost’ €80 million. Demands then for hydroplanes or helicopters were brushed aside in favour of spending €127 million on a new transport system for capital La Palmas, Metroguagua. The money could have bought 5 CL215T Canadas hydroplanes at €26 million each, on hand to fight this summer’s fire immediately.

FRIDAY 13th. Rumours and superstitions surround this date in history, regarding both the number 13 and the day Friday. From a Norse myth (12 gods and their uninvited, 13th doomladen guest); Bibli cal references (Judas Iscariot, who be trayed Christ, the 13th diner at the Last Supper); medieval dastardly deeds (on Fri day October 13, 1307, King Philip of France arrested and put to death the revered Knights Templar for their Holy Grail secrets and wealth) to more modern times (Friday was the traditional day for public hangings in Britain with supposedly 13 steps leading up to the noose). And how is fear of the number 13 demonstrated today? Some airports have no gate 13. Some planes have no row 13. Hotels regularly have no floor or room 13. But if not the result of just plain old co incidence, some past ‘Friday 13th tragedies’ were actually planned to feed into the mythology. I’m thinking here of
FRIDAY 13: Rumours and superstitions surround this date. the ‘Friday the 13th virus’ programmed to delete IBM computer files across Britain on that day in January 1989. Bad luck had nothing to do with it. Pick any date in history and you’ll have a massive list of genocide, murder, rape, greed, natural disasters, fear and loss. Bad things happen every day. It’s just that, if something happens on Friday 13th, it sticks in our minds because we’ve all been brainwashed to believe it’s bad luck. In fact, in some countries like Italy, 13 is lucky while in Spain, it’s Tuesday the 13th that’s unlucky! Finally, a few positives. Hollywood offi cially arrived on a Friday 13th. The Holly wood sign (originally advertising ‘HOLLY WOODLAND’) was unveiled on Friday July 13, 1923. Built to advertise a housing de
velopment, it’s since become one of the world’s biggest tourist attractions. As for the UK, the first nudist colony was found ed on Friday June 13, 1930: the North De von Club in Metherell opened and Britons were allowed to let it all hang out. If you’re still spooked this Friday 13th, maybe you’ll be even more spooked on October 31st: Brexit day. Halloween will never be the same again...

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Primarily, you are wanting to see some appreciation. That is understandable given the efforts that you have made. Do not be annoyed, however, if it is a while coming yet. Others are not always as well tuned in as you. If necessary, use a go-between discreetly to make sure of progress.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Increased activity in your love life means less time to really concentrate on business. Make sure that priority financial matters are dealt with. Not doing so will see you kicking yourself later on. A close relationship is going well. There’s no reason to wonder why, the charm offensive is obviously working.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Keeping an eye on your health is particularly important at the moment. Because you have been active, it could be that you need to give yourself a bit of time. Pampering and just plain relaxing are all going to stand you in good stead during the coming week.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Opening your mind to a new idea has convinced you that it is time for a change in direction. This is such a time, but not all changes will be permanent. Give yourself a way out of any situation this week. Using your tact and charm, it will require only a little application to please everyone.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Improvising within a new business situation may not give you the perfect answer to a problem. What it will do, however, is give you an insight into the way others live. Until now, your approach to life may have been a little one-sided.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A recent holiday has set your mind racing. This being a romantic time means that you can get a little overexcited. Your romance may not be set to last but you should fully enjoy it
nonetheless. Relatives issue words of warning but they have only your best interests at heart.
LEO (July 24 - August 23)

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION
IRISH LOTTO Saturday September 7
Opposing opinions on a matter close to your heart see you hesitating. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice. The chances are that you know someone who has already been through your situation. Don’t let pride make you miss out on a solution.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Not everything in the garden is rosy but you are made of strong stuff. Your conviction that something is right helps you in discussions. Support given to a loved one may be misguided, especially if it is a huge financial gamble.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a time to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Don’t forget, along the way, to congratulate yourself for all that you have achieved in the last year. Sometimes you do not blow your own trumpet and people appreciate you in a quiet way.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) An appetite for something new means that you tread unknown ground. It’s an exciting time when you may find it easier to do things alone. This does not mean you have to feel alone as others can be told of your progress.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Part of being ‘you’ is your independent mind. Some may try to change that this week. Why would someone want to make you more dependent on them? Could it be that they feel insecure? Giving reassurance may be all that is needed. We all feel the need for appreciation.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Trying to be everything to all people is tiring. No one knows this more than you. Give yourself a little time and space this week because it will make a great difference to your spirits.

Mood can influence decisions
EXTROVERTS who are positive will work on trying to further improve their mood, more than introverts. Spanish researchers at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid conducted a study which confirms that the mood of introverts is different from extroverts, especially when it comes to positive situations. Their study of 112 participants found those who
fell in the ‘extrovert’ category after their initial questionnaire would want to im prove their good mood and this would in fluence their decisions, when choosing which film to watch compared to introverts who are more conformist. The study also found both extroverts and introverts regulate their negative moods similarly. way.
MORNING SUNSHINE: How you start your day can make a difference.
Makeover your mornings THE morning can either be the best time of the day or the worst, depending on what kind of
person you are. Whichever camp you fall in to, how you start your morning can have a big impact on how
the rest of the day goes. Making small changes to your morning routine could quickly make all the difference. Although it’s incredibly tempt ing to reach for the tea or cof fee first thing, try drinking a cup of hot water and lemon first which will help to start your di gestion, get your liver up and running as well as rehydrating you. If you have a busy house hold, try setting your alarm 30 minutes before everyone else wakes up. This will give you time to take a nice long shower, read the paper or do some ex ercise; whatever you find most relaxing. You might find this becomes your most productive time of the day, and could help you make plans for the week ahead or pursue some creative activi ties. You could also use this time to meditate for five or 10 min utes, helping to clear your mind and get you focused for the day.

British dentist in Vera Clinica Dental Juan Cremades MY name is Richard Mitchell, and I am the British dentist in Vera, speaking English and German. I studied at the University of Manchester, graduating in December 1979. That’s almost 40 years ago! I think you could say that I’ve ‘seen it all’ in my dental career! I’m now working part-time in Vera, after running my own practice in Calpe on the Costa Blanca from 2008 to 2018. I like to give a very personalised service. I like to get to know my patients well, and I take my time to find out a bit about you! I would love to help you sort out any dental problems that you may have. You may just want a check-up, to confirm that everything is OK, or you may have a particular concern that
you want to discuss, such as a broken tooth, missing teeth, black fillings, or tooth whitening. I will tell you about your possible options, and make a recommendation. Then you can decide what, if anything, you would like to proceed with. All my treatment is carried out in a comfortable and pain-free manner, employing up-todate materials and methods to ensure a strong, comfortable and long-lasting solution. I believe very strongly in pain-free dentistry, and I've been on the receiving end of plenty of treatment myself to appreciate what it's like! I may take a little longer over treatment than you’re used to, but it’s to ensure your comfort at all times. After graduation, I worked at Manchester Dental Hospital, before moving into general

practice. After a spell within the NHS, and oneyear in Barbados, I moved to Nuremberg in what was then West Germany, where I spent nine years running my own practice. In 1994 I emigrated to Australia, where I worked as a specialist for crown and bridgework in a central Brisbane clinic. In 2000, I moved to the Costa Blanca for two years, and then to Scotland, where I worked in private practice in Broughty Ferry, Dundee. In 2008 I set up a dental practice in Calpe, on the Costa Blanca, until October 2018. I have now moved to Mojacar, and am working with Dr Juan Cremades in Vera.

Oven Baked Salmon
GLAZED SALMON: Serve over a green salad and the colours will certainly liven up the plate!
SALMON is such a versatile fish. When you invest in a whole one and fillet it yourself, it goes a long way and is far more cost effective than buying it ready filleted. It isn’t difficult to do; it is all about having sharp knives and is well worth practising. Night number one of our fishy suppers, was just plain pan fried. If you want a crispy skin, make sure you
dry the fish thoroughly us ing kitchen towel. Season the skin with salt and black pepper and cook it skin side down first for about 57 minutes, on a medium high heat. You need to heat the pan first and then add your chosen oil. Add the fish as the oil shimmers. You will see the colour of the flesh change as it cooks. When the colour change is just over 2/3 of the way up, season the top of the fish and gen tly flip it over. Cook for an other couple of minutes and you are ready serve. If you fancy adding a bit more flavour (not that salmon really needs it), this week’s recipe is delicious. An easy to make glaze is perfect to add that some thing special if you have guests. Served over a green salad the colours certainly liven up the plate!
Ingredients: • 3 tablespoons soy sauce • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 2 tablespoons honey • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard • 2 cloves garlic minced (I grate mine) • One 500g salmon fillet skin on • Black pepper
Method Remove the salmon from the fridge and let it rest and come to room temperature while you prepare the glaze. Preheat oven to 200 deg C. Line a baking dish with tinfoil or baking paper. The glaze gets a bit sticky whilst baking, so lining your dish makes it easy to clean up afterwards. In a small bowl, whisk to gether the soy sauce, olive
oil, honey, Dijon mustard and minced garlic. Place salmon, skin side down, in the prepared bak ing dish. Pour about 2/3 of the glaze over the salmon, reserving the remaining 1/3 glaze. Add a few twists of freshly ground black pep per. Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 minutes uncov ered and then brush on the remaining glaze. Bake for about three to four minutes more, until the fish is cooked through and serve immediately.
Olive Tree Farm was set up about four years ago with the intention of achieving a level of self sufficiency. We have poultry for meat and eggs, goats for milk, rabbits and small pigs for meat and harvest our 70 olive trees each year for oil. We also grow a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Eat out and eat right - Neptuno Mojacar LOVE eating delicious food and enjoy eating out, but want a healthy diet too, and one that is based on locally sourced fresh produce? Then the Neptuno Mojacar is the obvious choice. The Neptuno restaurant prides itself not only on its excellent range of Mediterranean cuisine, but also on really making the most of the region’s top quality produce. By creating dishes from Almeria’s fabulous year-round offer of meat, fish, seafood, fruit and vegetables, the Neptuno is doing its bit to promote a sustainable, environmentally-friendly local economy. The restaurant also sticks to natural and home-made. You’re not going to find anything made from processed ingredients on the menu here! Fresh meat is delivered daily to the restaurant and the best of the
FRESH FISH: Directly from the market means there is an impressive choice of fish and seafood options available. day’s catch comes directly from nearby fish markets. Sauces and stocks are all made from scratch using only natural ingredients. Neptuno specialities like ricebased dishes are a perfect example of how first-class products and culinary skills come together to create food which is bursting with flavour and with goodness, whether it’s clas-
sic paella or 100 per cent vegetarian. Equally as delicious and wholesome are the impressive line-up of fish and seafood options, among them mouth-watering scallops au gratin with bacon and caramelised onion and barbecued sea bass with fried garlic and crispy ham. Possibilities such as silver bream and sardines on skewers are cooked
over wood in the Neptuno’s special sand pit to really bring out the rich taste. Meat lovers are also spoilt for choice, with enticing options like barbecued fillet of beef, lamb chops and Iberian pork loin. There are highly imaginative salads too, for example ‘country’ with spinach, goat’s cheese, raisins, nuts and a touch of honey and mustard. Diners with a sweet tooth can be assured desserts are home-made as well, and guaranteed to appeal to all tastes, ranging from cheesecake and brownies to Spanish classics.

The perfect accompaniment to good food is fine wine. The carefully selected wine list reflects the variety and quality Spain’s winegrowing regions produce, including here in Almeria. Neptuno’s outstanding beachside location, extensive outside seating and dining areas overlooking the beach, and delightful indoor dining room looking straight out onto the sea, also explain the restaurant’s enduring popularity with all nationalities and why many people make this the venue for celebrating a special occasion. Neptuno caters to large or small groups and offers excellently priced special event menus featuring starters, mains and desserts, plus cocktails, wine, beer and coffee. Whatever the reason for eating out at Neptuno you always eat right!

ENORMOUS carbon footprint
I REFER to your recent article in the Euro Weekly News. Each week we enjoy a great deal of live televised sport. Wonderful, covering all sport from around the world. All these events, football, cricket, tennis, racing, rugby World Cup, golf, etc etc leave an enormous carbon footprint created by the TV companies whose representatives, engineers, presenters and commentators travel by car, van, sea and air to provide us with our armchair entertainment. If the climate change and Green party people are genuine in their be lief about the disaster imminently awaiting us, they would demand the immediate banning of all outside broadcasting of sporting events as nonessential activity. Of course, they won’t and we all know why support would collapse. There are votes and kudos and good fees to be earned by those supporting ‘project fear’ in all its guises, so, as a demonstration of commitment to the cause let the climate experts and green political parties propose a ban on the televising of sporting events to be im plemented by world governments and then we would know they really are se rious!

GLOBAL warming has been happening on Earth since Adam was alive. We worry about how many times we fly back to our home countries, the fuel we use in our car, the eco efficiency of our homes. All these things contribute to our global footprint - that is the impact we as individuals, through our lifestyle, have on the planet. But should we be made to feel guilty that living our lives is killing the planet and ultimately leading to the extinction of the human race? According to Dr Guy Midgley, head of the climate change research group of the National Biodiversity Institute South Africa, we live on an unusually stable planet, but periods of cooling and warming naturally happen in cycles. These periods of rising and falling temperatures over the last 500,000 years have been down to levels of methane and CO2 in the atmosphere which are not man-made. Also, levels of solar radiation vary over time and this has a significant impact on global temperatures, most notably in the Earth’s northern hemisphere. Climate change experts believe we are currently between ice ages and that the development of modern industry has had a relatively minor impact on temperatures. Over several thousand years in the earth’s history, temperatures have been higher than they currently are indicating that doing too many school runs or turning on the air con isn’t what’s going to wipe us out. So, it’s not just our fault, but does that mean we should throw caution to the wind? Not at all. Reducing greenhouse gases will slow down global warming and, while we’re the planet’s dominant species, we should do all we can to save the planet. After all, we’re only passing through.

Door fire risked lives GUARDIA CIVIL arrested a 21-year-old on suspicion of setting on fire the front door of a house in Purchena when there were people inside. The door is the only way in and out of the property, and the Guardia highlighted the ‘clear risk’ to the lives of the residence’s occu pants. The blaze also caused €4,000 of damage, the Guardia reported. A Guardia investigation put the suspect identified as ACS, a Purchena local, at the scene of the crime. Officers located and ar rested the young man several days later after he tried to elude justice several times. He now faces charges of causing a fire in a pri vate home.

Invest time before cash on buying a new home ANALYSING the market and being aware of the possibilities and opportunities are vital when buying a new property. There are essential points to take into account before signing a mort gage to ensure that the joy of pur chasing a new home is long lived. One of the most relevant factors is the location, and not just the area it self, but also roads and public trans port as well as the proximity to schools, supermarkets and health centres. Whether to buy second hand or new may depend on the location you choose. If you want to live in the centre of a city, the option is proba bly largely secondhand, in which case consider there might be costly changes to be made.
ESSENTIAL POINTS: Consider everything from location to taxes. If it is a new build, the expenses can come from factors such as com munity charges for any pools or com
munal gardens. Everybody has a budget, but if you stumble across a ‘real bargain,’ it’s
important to investigate the area, the possible need for refurbishment, and to what extent. Choosing a mortgage is just as im portant as selecting the house itself, and while getting to grips with the options is exhausting, it’s imperative. Experts recommend that the monthly payment of the mortgage does not surpass more than 40 per cent of the salary, while many banks may require a tighter threshold, even below 30 per cent. Consider the savings needed to obtain a home, it can be 20 per cent of the value of the property, and if possible, support this with a kitty for management and legal expenses. The taxes subject to the sale VAT, AJD and IBI are numerous and it’s vital to get advice to avoid misunder standings or last minute surprises.
New Property? Don’t Forget To… HAVING just signed and sealed the contract on your new property, here’s a few helpful suggestions of the important tasks you need to do. First things first: change those locks! Who knows how many people have been given a copy of the keys to your new home. Apart from giving you peace of mind, installing new locks and changing your alarm pin code is often required for insurance purposes so don’t forget to or ganise building insurance! Secondly, confirm with your lawyer that they have trans ferred all bills into your name and have registered you as the new owner of your property at the town hall. And finally, don’t forget to in stall your TV and internet ser vices as well as air conditioning once done you can relax in your cool new surroundings.

MANY of us will have had pets who love a routine. Breakfast and a fresh drink, the morning walk, following you
around the house during the day, sleeping when the sun is hot, and an evening meal all around the same time each day.

Volkswagen owns 12 well-known car brands from seven European countries.
PORSCHE will use three drive technologies in the future: highly emotive petrol engines, powerful plug-in hybrids and from now on - also all-electric drives. This product strategy is reflected in the eight new models that the sports car manufacturer will be presenting at the 68th International Motor Show (IAA) at Messe Frankfurt in Germany from today (Thursday, September 12) to September 22. The focus at the IAA will be on the brand’s first allelectric sports car: the Taycan as a Turbo and Turbo S. Further highlights at the mo tor show include three new hybrid models in the Cayenne series, the new Macan Turbo and the 911 Carrera as a Coupé and Cabriolet. In addition,

Hamilton: youngsters ‘get away with a lot more’ FERRARI’S home win by Charles Leclerc at Monza has left Lewis Hamilton saying the younger generation of drivers “get away with a lot more” in wheel-to-wheel battles. The race featured a thrilling battle between the young Monegasque and fivetimesworld champion Hamilton. The latter looked like the faster of the two drivers for periods and tried several passes without making any stick. Credit for that should go to Leclerc who de fended robustly. At one point Hamilton had to use the runoff area to avoid a collision and Leclerc cut the first chicane but retained the lead. After the race Hamilton said: “It doesn’t really matter what I think. I don’t really have anything to say about it. We’ve gone over and over it multiple times, it’s pointless me bringing it up. I avoided the collision, and just kept fo cusing on trying to get close again. “It seems like the new generation get away with a lot more in that space, of how they manoeuvre their car com pared to I’d say the more experienced drivers. But it’s good knowledge, now I know, and I look forward to the next one.” Leclerc was put on an official warning at one stage when he was shown the

Sebastian Vettel fin ished a distant 13th after spinning out of contention early on. Leclerc said about his win: “I think if you have to win one Grand Prix with Ferrari it’s the Italian Grand Prix. From the beginning of the week it’s been ab solutely crazy, I came here with my first win, and to win straight away the sec ond one here in front of all the fans that have welcomed me extremely well af ter the first victory, is just unbelievable.”
YOUNG GUN: Charles Leclerc won the Italian GP. black and white flag, but this carries no penalty. Hamilton commentated: “We’ve just constantly asked for consistency. There was a rule put in place, and then it was n’t abided by today. “They used different consequences for the rule today. I don’t know why that was the case. I guess the stewards woke up on a different side of the bed this morning, I don’t know.” He added: “I’m not unhappy. Of course, I don’t like to go backwards, but he (Leclerc) did a fantastic job today. I
put on as much pressure as I could. We had a couple of close moments, I think we can probably talk about it in private together, but there’s nothing major, and we continue to race. I’m looking forward to more races together.” Leclerc’s battling performance saw him take the chequered flag for the sec ond week in a row while Hamilton dropped to third behind Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas. It was Fer rari’s first win at Monza since 2010. Daniel Ricciardo took a season’s best fourth place in his Renault ahead of
Super Cup for VRAC RUGBY club VRAC have kicked off their season in familiar territory they are winners again. They have added their eighth Spanish Super Cup to their honours board, after im posing themselves on Alcoben das to win 3318 after trailing at half time.
The latter’s challenge grad ually faded as the game went by and they were unable to stop a rival with more ambi tion and crucially more ideas in attack. The match started at high in tensity with Alcobendas catch ing VRAC on the hop for a first minute threepoint score. There followed a ‘settling’ in period where tight defences and mistakes from both teams led to a fairly stagnant phase. But it did not take long for VRAC to start imposing them selves, although Alconbendas also showed flashes of attack ing potential to keep VRAC on their toes.
With both defences very tidy and attacks a little tangled, it was Tani Bay who found a hole in midfield to score a try. The current league champi ons cut out the earlier handling errors and started to look in creasingly comfortable. A pro longed spell in the opposition half led to penalties to put some daylight between them selves and their rivals. However, Alcobendas showed plenty of character themselves to take the fight back into VRAC territory and ended up going into half time just 1411 down thanks to a try from Iñaki Villanueva, plus more penalties.
WINNERS: VRAC took the Super Cup for the eighth time. VRAC came out for the sec ond half determined to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Almost immediately they had three points from a penal ty, which was followed by a
prolonged period of superiori ty, partly thanks to the yellow received by Alcobendas, but above all thanks to very good decisionmaking by the half backs. Mateu and Bay added two brilliant tries.
Santi Ovejero managed to score a converted try to close the scores to 3318, but it was too little too late. Now Spanish rugby eyes turn to the Division de Honor, which starts this weekend.
