SHOT 26 TIMES BRAVERY OVERLOOKED POLITICAL group Ciudadanos will ask the government for answers after a policeman wasn’t awarded a medal for bravely facing drug traffickers. Officer Tito Garzón was badly injured after a shooting with traffickers in Estepona. After the incident in September of 2018, the other two officers received medals for bravery but Garzón was never decorated for his involvement. Irene Rivera, who is the candidate for Ciudadanos in Malaga, has criticised the actions and demands a response. She singles out Inte-

rior Minister Fernando Grande Marlaska, pinning responsibility of the blunder on him.
Tito Garzón has broken his silence and has expressed disappointment with the decision that he believes
wasn’t logical. He concludes the incident is worrying and is willing to go to court. During the stand-off with the armed drug traffickers he was shot around 26 times and survived miraculously. Rivera has also spoken out about the lack of psychological help that was offered to the officers. She reiterates that looking after police officers and their mental health is of utmost importance. Mentioning her opposition - PP and PSOE - the politician questions the criteria that is followed when deciding to bestow recognition.
Hospital opening delayed ESTEPONA’S new hospital, first thought to be reopened later this year, will now remain closed until an unspecified date in 2020. According to the Board, although the structure itself has been complete for almost a year, the delay was due to minor modifications. The work, with an investment of more than €17 million, has been paid for by the
city of Estepona under an agreement signed in 2016 with the Ministry of Health. The agreement stated that once construction work was finished, the regional administration, through the Andalucian Health Service, will take care of the hospital’s provision, operation and maintenance costs. Part of the contract included important diagnostic imaging equipment
as well as operating room equipment and general furniture, with a budget of more than €4 million. The health centre, located in the Santa Maria area, incorporates the concept of Single Act Consultation which aims at ensuring all tests and examinations are carried out in a single visit thus reducing waiting times and allowing for more attention to each patient.

Recycle for them... A C A M PA I G N c a l l e d ‘Recycle for them’ was launched on World Breast Cancer Day where old bottles and glass will be collected to help pay for cancer research. Pink bottle banks have been placed in Marbella, Estepona and Torremolinos with any cash raised from recycling the glass deposited going to the Sandra Ibarra Foundation for Solidarity against Cancer. The campaign aims to “mobilise citizens to recycle glass containers and thus contribute to a cause of solidarity: to join efforts against breast cancer,” according to the president of the Western Costa del Sol Mancomunidad (similar to a county council) Jose Antonio Mena. More than 80 municipalities across the country have joined the campaign with more than 340 pink bottle banks installed nationwide. Jesús Gutiérrez explained

Two clubs shut THE N ational Police have shut down two cannabis clubs in Fuengirola and arrested five people for alleged crimes against public health.

Tick tock, tick tock DON’T forget - we can all enjoy an extra guilt-free hour in bed on Sunday as the clocks go back at 3am (Spanish time). But on the down side, we will soon notice the dark nights rapidly drawing in. The aim of changing the clocks in spring and autumn is to make better use of light. When we move clocks backward an hour in the autumn, we are effectively transferring an hour of daylight from evening to morning, when it is arguably more useful to more people. The opposite thing happens in the spring. This year the European parliament voted to scrap daylight saving time by 2021. If ratified, it could throw up yet another Brexit-related headache. If the UK leaves the EU before 2021 and the bloc goes ahead with its plan to scrap DST (Daylight Saving Time), a situation could arise in which for half the year Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland would be in different time zones.

OCTOBER 31 - BE-UNITED YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!
WE HAVE JUST ONE WEEK LEFT TO PULL OFF THE BIGGEST COMMUNITY EVENT THE COSTA DEL SOL HAS SEEN AND DEMONSTRATE WHAT INCREDIBLE THINGS WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER. October 31 will forever be remembered for the chaos and confusion that is Brexit. But we want to change that, instead let’s UNITE as a community, support the vulnerable children in our area and create a day to remember for the right reasons. With your support, Euroweekly News came up with the concept of organising a Halloween party to raise €8,280 for the orphans of ‘Ciudad de los Niños’ in Malaga. It will be held at the Feria ground in Fuengirola, where there is ample free parking for everyone, from 5pm. EVERYBODY is invited and entry is free. So far, the response has been AMAZING. Our GoFundMe page https://www.gofundme.com/f/beu nited-for-malaga-orphans has received wonderful support - let’s keep it going! We have seven days to give this a monumental push! If you are unable to attend the event, this is a perfect way to contribute. Please give generously. Having come up with the concept, you as a COMMUNITY have grabbed the baton and are running with it. But we can’t stop there the possibilities are endless if we
all pull together. Business owners, readers, social media gurus including the local press, radio stations and TV - everybody through all aspects of the community - have all jumped on board. The orphanage gets a clothes allowance of just €40 per child to last three months? Imagine trying to clothe your child or grandchild on that amount! So, we are calling for your help. We want to raise at least €8,280 to give each child a clothes voucher for €100 for the three months so that they can have a special Christmas outfit, a set of fluffy pyjamas or a new pair of slippers. Aside from the clothes voucher, we are aiming to also make a personalised toiletry bag for each child, full of little luxuries that we take for granted like a special bubble bath, pretty hair slides for the girls, cologne, mouth wash etc. Each bag will cost €30. A Christmas goodie basket with treats like a selection box, some crayons, a toy, each basket worth €50 each. With the fabulous support of local businesses of all nationalities, October 31 promises to be a truly ghostravaganza day to remember.
The venue for the event - Caseta CEPYME, located in the large Feria ground in Fuengirola - will be totally transformed with witches, spiders, ghouls, cobwebs, tombstones and more. And ENTRANCE IS FREE. We would like to give a massive shout out to the whole Bayley family, from granddad John down to little Ella, with a special thank you to the very creative Samantha Bayley. Her spooktastic creations will be revealed on the night! It just goes to show how everybody can pull together in the community - from the Spanish to the English and Scandinavians - ultimately we are unique! There will also be a full bar and we will be catering for everybody, offering traditional foods like pie and peas, beef bourguignon, chilli con carne, vegetable curry, jacket potatoes, pumpkin soup, Paella, Puchero, burgers and ribs, to name just a few! And of course, there will be the old favourites of jellies, cupcakes, tiramisu, vegan sweets, chocolates and treats, too. A host of entertainers on the coast have given up their TIME FREE of charge, despite this traditionally being one of their busiest nights, in-
cluding Masquerade Duo, Frankie Valentine, Ronnie Howells and Danny Efford. And an array of businesses have donated fabulous prizes for a raffle and auction - including two nights in a four star hotel in Madrid courtesy of Golden Leaves to name one of the superb prizes up for grabs. Associations along the coast have also got right behind the event and will be helping with the decorating of the venue, providing children’s entertainers, organising ponies, supercars, games including ducking for apples, children’s tattooist. And they are putting their hearts and souls into it. It’s fantastic to see how many wonderful women there are out there. There will be special guest appearances from Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol, together with raffles, auctions and prizes for the best girls,’ boys’ and adults’ outfit. Magic Mirror Costa Blanca are also travelling down from Alicante, free of charge, bringing along their novel and fun selfie camera equipment especially decorated for your spooky photos! EWN CEO, Michel Euesden, said: “This is the coast that just keeps on giving and giving, and this time the orphans themselves, who will be
there on the night with their carers, will see how much love there is in the world, because you, dear reader, are going to show it to them! “Not only will we raise the €8,280, but also a lifetime of memories which you can help create together on October 31.” She added: “We will be united on a night that will make unprecedented history - Britain may be the first country to leave Europe, however, you our valued reader, will be too busy enjoying yourself, having a ‘spoogie’ with the witches, wizards and warlocks, making new friends who care - you are safe and secure in the community that you love and can be proud of. “So, whatever your political leanings, whatever your concerns, come out on October 31 and have the time of your life. This is why we came to Spain to be part of this special eclectic community - whatever your age group, whatever your nationality, this is your community.
LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER!”

CLOSED: A burst sewage pipe forced the closure of Los Cordobeses beach at La Cala.
Sewage closes beach THE Los Cordobeses beach at La Cala de Mijas has been closed after a sewage pipe burst on Tuesday. It is a repeat of an incident two weeks ago when the same pipe broke, spilling sewage and eventually forcing the closure of several beaches. A temporary ‘by-pass’ pipe was put in, but this failed. Mijas Town Hall and water compa-
ny Acosol recognise that a permanent solution is needed. A contract is being put out to tender and work should start within 20 days, but it could cost up to €1 million to fix the pipe properly. The problem is that at this stretch the sewer is now exposed to sea action after beach erossion, so a solution to protect the pipe from waves must be found.

Ban on BBQs ESTEPONA has extended the ban on barbecues until November 1. The town hall has decided to maintain the ban for the use of barbecues in outdoor forest areas. Facilities in the Pedregales Park and Sierra Bermeja will not be apt for use un-
til the coming month. Ana Velasco - head of development, infrastructure and tourism - has defended the decision by explaining that the area remains a high risk for forest fires. Vegetation is dense and the dry climate increases the risk notably. Velasco aims to prevent any accidents by putting these additional
measures in place. The law dictates a prohibition on starting fires for the preparation of food or any other activity that begins on June 1 and ends on October 15. However, taking into account the lack of rain and intense drought, the town hall has decided to sensibly extend the period.

FUENGIROLA’S unofficial ‘Four o’clock Club’ enjoyed one of their annual ferry trips to Benalmadena before lunch, a stroll along the Paseo Maritimo and a bus trip back for happy hour at the Rovers Return in Torreblanca where they meet daily.

One of our members ‘Mick the Stick’ does not like our title, he says it should be ‘fossils corner’.” The group are looking forward to an evening at the theatre in November, and are inviting anyone who ‘would like to join us for good food, drink and banter’ to head along to the Rovers Return at 4pm each day.

A FIRE burned 84 hectares at Pinar del Tabano de Manilva last Friday night. The fire was declared at 9pm and was finally extinguished on Saturday evening, said sources from Infoca forest firefighting service. Of the burned land, 10.05 hectares was forest (scrub) and the rest uncategorised urban land. Due to the fire, 40 people were evacuated from the Martagina urbanisation, located in the Pinar del Tabano area, who were able to return to their homes on Saturday. In addition, the proximity of the flames caused the AP-7 highway to be cut off from traffic in both directions between kilometres 133 and 154 for just over two hours. One eyewitness contacted the Euro Weekly News at the time. He said:

LOCAL POLICE in Mijas have been trained to detect fraudulent tourist guides. The town hall gave a training course to local law enforcement in a bid to stop professional intrusions. The tourism sector in this municipality had demanded more control over guides with no official accreditation. The delegate for Tourism in the Junta de Andalucía, Nuria Rodríguez, highlighted the necessity to impose sanctions on people unofficially pursuing this line of work. She explained that the autonomic government issues cards formally enabling tourist guides with all the legal requirements. With these regulations in place they hope to ensure that all cultural and heritage exhibitions and tours will be carried out with full guarantees. Councillor José Carlos Martín asserted that tourism is the main motor of the area and people who teach the historical heritage of Mijas must ensure that visitors receive clear and accurate explanations.

THREE brothers, aged 58, 56 and 49, have been arrested accused of drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal group. Police in Marbella seized 1,100 grammes of marihuana, 30 grammes of hashish, three sets of precision scales and several boxes of tranquilisers. National Police officers had launched operation Ronda II against small-scale drug trafficking in Marbella after several complaints. Local residents were fed up with an increase in thefts, robberies, break-ins at homes and businesses and car crime linked to people looking to fund drug habits. After a surveillance operation and making inquiries, police established that one home seemed to be the source of drugs in the area. The three detainees are alleged to have been in charge of preparing the drugs for sale to users from the flat.

Taxi drivers march MALAGA taxi drivers will participate in three marches to protest against the lack of laws with regards to drivers of rental vehicles in Andalucia. Representatives from several provinces have agreed to march in Sevilla on N ovember 4, Malaga on N ovember 6 and Cordoba on November 8. The Junta de Andalucia was approached by the taxi drivers in January and passed a request for a decree to regulate the activity of the rental drivers as it has been noted that companies like Uber and Cabify are unfair competition and do not comply with rental car laws for every 30 vehicles. The marches have been arranged to coincide with the week before the general election in the hopes of putting pressure on political representatives. Malaga had 1,556 authorised rental drivers at the beginning of October compared to 2,682 taxis which makes them the third Spanish province, behind Madrid and Barcelona, with this overwhelming presence of this type of company.

BREXIT EXTRA
BREXIT BRIEF
WHILST opponents of Brexit accused Boris Johnson of throwing a childish tantrum, Scotland’s highest court delayed a decision on Monday as to whether the prime minister had fully complied with a law requiring him to ask for a Brexit extension. The situation last Saturday was that he sent an unsigned letter to Brussels requesting an extension (which may or not be agreed to) plus a signed letter effectively requesting that the EU declines to extend. Representatives of the British government stated at the Court of Session that this fulfilled its legal obligations under the Benn Act but the leading judge, Lord Carloway said the case should be continued until it was clear that all of the obligations under the legislation had been ‘complied with in full.’ In theory, if the court rules against the prime minister, he could be sentenced to prison.
Letters received
Speaker says no By John Smith IT seems unlikely that Commons Speaker John Bercow who is due to step down shortly will receive any form of recognition, such as a knighthood from the Conservative gover nment in the event that there is a general election. Once again, he trod on Tory toes by simply refusing leave for the government to hold a meaningful vote on the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal saying that it would be “repetitive and disorderly” to allow such a vote last Monday. His decision was based on his belief that the circumstances and the substance of the motion were the same as Saturday’s and that it should not be debated so quickly

Some observers suggest that the government was ill advised to just let the Saturday vote drop as if they had withdrawn it properly, then a new vote should have been
allowed on Monday. The full Bill went to Parliament, but it is in the region of 100 pages long and although its second reading was approved, the motion that it be finalised this week was defeated. At the time of writing, no final decision had been
Getting heated made, but it seems likely that if a long extension is offered by the EU, the government will drop the bill and try to force an election. This will probably happen if it calls for a vote of no confidence in itself and instructs Tory MPs to vote in favour.
IT is estimated that as many as one million people descended upon London to campaign against Brexit last Saturday following the extraordinary sitting of the House of Commons. Sadly there were a number of ugly scenes as Brexiteer MPs were booed.

A MAN who travelled from Malaga to Murcia to kill his ex has been jailed for 30 years. A jury in Murcia decided that Adrian S C was guilty of aggravated murder with treachery and cruelty. The court had heard that the events happened in Canteras (Murcia) in 2017. The prosecution stated that when the young woman refused to return to Adrian S C, he made the cold-blooded decision to travel from Malaga to Canteras to kill her. After getting a bus to Granada and on to Cartegena, he bought a ladder and a large knife. He then climbed up onto the balcony of his ex’s home and then lay in wait for her. When she arrived home, he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her into the dining room where he wounded her in the hand and arm with a knife. At this point the victim’s grandparents arrived and tried to talk him out of his actions, and to put down the knife. But he cold-bloodedly and ruthlessly began to “stab her repeatedly, persistently and systematically, despite the victim’s cries of pain, deliberately increasing her pain,” the prosecution said.

A Champagne drinks reception will be held on the terrace at 7.30pm followed by a three-course dinner served with wine. The evening will be filled with live musical entertainment from renowned artistes from here on the coast and the MC and Auctioneer will be Mr Steve Cline. All artists will be performing for free to support Cudeca. There will also be a spectacular fireworks display to celebrate the Guy Fawkes night.
GREAT NIGHT: The Villa Tiberio galas are always a great success.
MALAGA is to become the home of the first overian tissue cryopreservation bank in Andalucia. It is estimated that every year a dozen women in the Andalucian community can preserve their fertility in this way before undergoing cancer treatment. The technique consists of removing a portion of one of the ovaries and preserving it at low temperatures for future reimplantation. After a meeting of the Spanish Group of Pediatric Oncology Surgery, the sur-
geon Rafael Parrado together with professionals at the Maternity hospital, realised a need for such a clinic in Andalucia as one of the side effects of cancer treatments is infertility. The target patients for such procedures are young girls who require cancer treatment that involves a high risk of ovarian failure which could lead to early menopause and infertility. The clinic is now able to accommodate their first cases and will be made available to patients post evaluation.

Officer’s sentence slashed EX-CHIEF of an anti-drug operation who was convicted of drug trafficking has received a sentence reduction. His initial 10-and-a-half-year imprisonment was reduced by more than six years. Supreme court has decided on reducing sentencing for 14 of the 27 prisoners who were involved in the crimes. The convicts were first sentenced in 2016 at a provincial hearing in Malaga, accused of trafficking hashish between the city’s coast and Melilla. One of the culprits who has benefited is the exGuardia Civil chief who was embroiled in drug trafficking activity and cover ups. He was originally condemned under charges of offence against public health and official document fabrication. The new ruling reduces his time in prison to three years and nine months under the decision that considers document fabrication to be included in his drug trafficking charges. Other charges that have been fully maintained by the court have been money laundering, illegal holding of arms and organised criminal activity. Prison time has been reduced overall for crimes against public health as well as other adjustments.

Licence delays opening AFTER months of advertising the new luxury brand due to open on Tuesday in a shopping village next to Plaza M a y o r, t h e d e v e l o p e r s h a v e c o n firmed that the Malaga Designer Outlet will not be open as advertised and a new date has not yet been specified. It has been revealed that the licence to open the outlet has not been granted as the works to widen the access roads into the centre are not yet finished. These works formed an essential condition for the city hall to grant the opening licence. The official announcement news has come last minute and is a blow for management and consumers alike. Many consumers had made plans to visit the outlet in its opening days and take ad-

San Roque task force JOIN CAMPAIGN: Speedy local cleaning.
IT was a year ago that the San Roque Council introduced its Join Campaign which employs staff through the Emadesa seasonal work plan to clean and tidy up different parts of the area. The workers have recently descended on Torreguadiaro with pressurised hoses and hot water and concentrated on busy areas such as playgrounds as well as the Paseo Maritimo in order to clean then
as quickly and efficiently as possible. The old town in San Roque was not ignored as a slightly daunting street sweeping machine which looked a little like a military vehicle drove through the narrow streets cleaning the area. As well as this high-pressure cleaning, workers also remove excess vegetation and accumulated rubbish and where
necessary install new street furniture. A new squad has also been set up to remove material left by fly tipping which will work with the Local Police to try to identify those responsible. Finally, as part of the campaign, there will be weekend street cleaning and a campaign of posters and advertisements encouraging sensible disposal of rubbish.

Quieter nights FOR more than a year, the Malaga Council has been reviewing the possibility of reducing noise generated by bars and hospitality businesses in the centre of the city. It now appears that following discussions with various interested parties and taking into account complaints received from residents, that a final plan will be ready to put forward to a plenary session of the council in November. There are nearly 100 different areas under review and the general consensus appears to be that many establishments which have open terraces will be required to close much earlier than they do now.
Medical centre revamp LAS CHAPAS will invest €500,000 in renovating the current medical centre. The new building will be three times in size and will also host triple the amount of medical staff. The mayor of Marbella - Ángeles Muñoz - signed the transfer of 13 supporting administration premises for the next 30 years. The buildings will be reassigned to home the future endeavour. Muñoz explained that the project will mean a higher quality of care for residents. Building work will start immediately and the installations are predicted to open in 2020.

Estepona, the garden city ESTEPONA is being turned into a splash of colour in the coming months. Or rather 250,000 splashes - this is the number of flowers and colourful shrubs being planted in the autumn and winter seasons. The council has begun planting the flowers in public green areas explained deputy mayor Blas Ruzafa. The work will last until March and operators will place around 50,000 each month.
He added that these plants come from the municipal nursery, which now has a production capacity of more than 500,000 plants a year at a reduced cost. “The commitment to planting flower species has become one of the hallmarks of the city and undoubtedly contributes to consolidating the project Estepona, Costa del Sol Garden,” he stressed. The planting will be done in the main avenues,
promenade, entrances to Estepona and the squares of the town centre. In total, it is planned to have almost 390,000sqm of green areas Much thought has gone into the planting scheme in order to achieve a greater visual attraction that captures the attention of the citizens.

Sixteen arrests for slippery eel set-up SIXTEEN people are under arrest for operating an illegal European elver trafficking set-up valued at some €600,000 in Asturias, Guipuzcoa and Madrid. The Guardia Civil’s ‘Operacion FAME’ also resulted in the seizure of 400 kilos of young eels. The Guardia said they believed the 16 detainees were members of four organised groups operating illegally in Spain and France. The group based in Asturias brought in the undeclared elvers from France and put them with those they had acquired legally from Asturian and Basque rivers. They then sent them to Portugal by taxi to evade controls, and from there they were illegally exported by air in suitcases checked in by Asian ‘mules.’ The Madrid side of the network send larger shipments by plane, declaring them as if they were any other kind of fish or seafood, or even veal. Investigators also believe there were plans to try sending the elvers camouflaged in beer barrels. Elvers are considered a great delicacy in Spain, and a very pricey one. According to the Administrative Authority of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), in the 2018 to 2019 season young eels were selling for around €1,500 a kilo. The Guardia Civil believe the four organisations could have obtained overall annual profits of more than €6 million. The Guardia released all the seized elvers into the Bidasoa and Orio rivers in collaboration with the Navarra and Guipuzcoa government environment agencies.

Pipeline to be scrapped ONE HUNDRED kilometres of water pipes supplying the Costa del Sol will need to be replaced. The new proposed project will invest €150 million and will take up to 10 years. It is expected that consumers will be charged for these additional costs on their water bills. The current pipes are 50 years old and suffer continuous breakages as well as being made with asbestos cement. Once this specific type of cement has been in place for over 40 years it is no longer recommended as it becomes very fragile and a health hazard. This deteriorated pipeline that runs from Manilva to Torremolinos suffers breakdowns and breakages which interrupts supply to the area. During the summer months there were seven incidences that affected resources, a big problem for the highly populated cities. The situation is no longer feasible for the coastal stretch that relies heavily on tourism. The Junta de Andalucía will contribute €30 million to the renovation project and increased water bills will help cover remaining costs. The municipalities will pay for the rest of the building works and are currently in the midst of procedures to guarantee the necessary funds.

Most cases were in Sevilla, but there were also several reported in Malaga, Cadiz and Granada and further afield in Spain. One New Zealand woman who

The manager of the company Magrudis - the source of the outbreak - and one of his sons are still in custody as their role in the case is investigated. Scientists traced the outbreak to a sort of meatloaf called carne machada branded La Mechá and produced by Magrudis. Listeria bacteria was found in machinery used at its plant in Sevilla. Inspectors also found licensing irregularities and found the factory had been extended with no health checks made afterwards.
Rent prices soar on Costa del Sol THE price of renting on the Costa del Sol has reached a historical maximum with housing in Malaga, Torremolinos, Rincon de la Victoria, Vélez, Cártama, Coín and Benahavís all affected. A search through the popular Idealista property website showed that in Malaga prices have been at a maximum since March, with
€9.9 per square metre. Malaga Province is going through one of its worst moments from the point of view of the tenant and the best for property owners. Whereas more rural areas like Coín and Cártama are at a more accessible €7 and €7.5 respectively. Torremolinos is the second town with more
than €10 per square metre followed by Benahavis and dropping to between nine and 10 with Estepona and Fuengirola. Marbella is unsurprisingly still the most expensive, with an average of €10.8 per square metre. However, this is a welcome decline from last year where Marbella had reached a whopping €11.2 per metre.

Crash measures Spanish MPs have given the green light to a packet of urgent government measures to reduce the impact of the Thomas Cook collapse on Spain’s tourism sector. THE Congress of Deputies Permanent Council has given its support to the government’s royal decree law passed on October 11 to deal with the repercussions of the disappearance of the British tour operator. Speaking during the defence of the decree, acting I n d u s t r y, Tr a d e and To u r i s m M i n i s t e r R e y e s Maroto, described the measures as “prudent, responsible and urgent.” She also said pointed out that due to the administration’s status as ‘acting’ it was limited in what it could do in terms of regulations, but that it was necessary to address the matter immediately. Despite supporting the move the opposition also
expressed various criticisms, saying the measures did not go far enough. Conservative Popular Party deputy Guillermo Mariscal described the decree as “absolutely insufficient” because it does not outline a reduction in airline taxes for the affected destinations. He also maintained the €15 million the government said it would allocate to the Canary Islands as an extraordinary measure had in fact already been earmarked for the region and would now be diverted to deal with the Thomas Cook crash created crisis. Melisa Rodriguez of the centrist Ciudadanos party said the decree was not very ambitious and “patchy.”
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.

This is the first time that a Baleària group vessel has been taken into Malaga for work and although there is no specific repair declared, workers have reportedly been all over the vessel.

The investigation led to the arrest of four youths, two of whom were minors, with a fifth

This time the assailants wore hoods and one carried a firearm which was used to intimidate one of the employees into handing over €400. On this occasion, the officer’s investigation led them to two youths, one a minor, who were then formally identified and detained.

National Police in Torremolinos detained the two women and four men between the ages of 20 and 42 in an area of the town. They are accused of drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal group. During a raid, police seized 46 grammes of cocaine, 910 of marihuana, two precision scales, four mobile phones, a machete, and €990 in cash. The investigation began in August, when officers learned that members of a family living in the Pinillo neighbourhood appeared to be using their home as a sales point for cocaine.

FOR the first September in its history, Malaga airport handled more than two million passengers in the month.

Airport operator Aena says it saw growth in both international and internal passenger numbers to a total of 2,026,920 people on 14,000 flights (1.7 per cent more). Of the total number of passengers, 1,755,453 were carried on 11,222 flights with origin or destination in a foreign city (up 1.7 per cent). The rest of the commercial passengers took internal flights, which translates into an increase of 6.4 per cent over September 2018. “Similar progression followed the volume of movements within Spain, which rose to 2,502 operations, 9.1 per cent more than in the same month last
year,” said Aena. It added that internationally, the UK is at the forefront in terms of passenger traffic. “The United Kingdom remains at the forefront of destinations with the highest demand in absolute terms, with 639,037 passengers, followed by the domestic segment. “Germany, with 159,632 passengers, and France, with 132,515 users, remain on the podium of the most active markets last September,” Aena added. This upturn has been key to the cumulative number of passengers in the year so far. This stands at 15,676,525, representing an increase of 5.2 per cent. Aena said: “Of the 15,635,200 commercial passengers accounted for, 2,260,957 travelled on flights between domestic destinations, ie 9.3 per cent more, and 13,374,243 did so on international connections, with a rise of 4.7 per cent.” In terms of operations, the

A MAN who illegally imported handguns from Spain into Scotland has been jailed for three years and 10 months. Douglas Urquhart was arrested after a raid on his home in the village of Loanhead, Midlothian in May this year. Four illegal firearms and over 40 bladed weapons were recovered from the 45-year-old’s property. The guns, front-venting blank firers which are illegal in the UK, were all found in a ‘panic room’ hidden in the basement. The room had an electromagnetic lock controlled by PIN entry keypad, and contained tinned food, bottled water, a safe and a CCTV system which allowed sight of outside. Weapons including throwing stars, knives and machetes were also found throughout the house. He was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow on Tuesday, October 15 after pleading guilty last month to firearms offences.

Jail term for importing guns
ILLEGAL: Urquhart bought guns online.
Urquhart, a joiner who described himself as a weapons and
martial arts enthusiast, had previously applied to Police Scotland
for a gun licence but had been refused.
D e t e c t i v e I n s p e c t o r To m G i l l a n o f t h e O rg a n i s e d C r i m e Partnership (Scotland) said: “Our operations and investigations have now recovered over 40 firearms across Scotland s i n c e 2018 and we will continue in our efforts to take dangerous weapons off our streets. “Targeting those who attempt to jeopardise the safety of our communities will continue to be a top priority for the OCP, supported by local divisions.” NCA operations manager John McGowan added: “Urquhart had ordered these weapons online and imported them from Spain and, while they could only fire blanks in the state they were in, they are illegal in the UK because they can easily be converted to fire real ammunition.” Although these types of guns can be bought legally in Spain, Spanish police have worked closely with legal authorities in other countries to help them in their investigations.
Stolen baby doctor dies A GYNAECOLOGIST who was the only person ever to be tried for the stolen baby scandal in Spain has died. Dr Eduardo Vela passed away on Sunday at the age of 86. The Madrid Provincial court believed Vela was guilty of stealing Ines Madrigal shortly after she was born in the Spanish capital in 1969 and giving her up for adoption outside
legal channels. However he was absolved of the crime because the length of time which had elapsed between 1969 and when the charges were brought meant he could not be prosecuted. Vela had been the director of the San Ramon clinic where Ines Madrigal was born. The clinic was considered the epicentre of the alleged baby thefts set-up.

Angry reception SPANISH acting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s visit to Barcelona on Monday was met with boos and angry protests following a week of Catalan upheaval over the lengthy prison sentences handed out to pro-independence leaders. Hundreds of demonstrators blockaded the office of the Spanish government’s delegation in Barcelona after it was reported by several media that Sánchez was planning to attend a meeting there. Sánchez left Barcelona shortly after midday, and a spokesperson from his office denied claims that the protests had forced him to abandon the visit to the delegation, saying no such meeting had ever been scheduled. Sanchez has been met by criticism on all sides for his visit to the region, to check in on policemen who have suffered grave injuries as a result of the ongoing protests, without taking the opportunity to meet its president, Quim Torra, after a week of chaos on the streets. “He either doesn’t want to, can-
not or doesn’t know how to find a solution to the situation,” said Laura Borràs, spokeswoman for Mr Torra’s Junts per Catalunya party. Torra’s office released a video showing a moment in which he is told that Sánchez is too busy to take his call, one of several attempts the Catalan president says he has made to talk to the Spanish prime minister in the last week. Pablo Iglesias, the leader of Spanish Left-wing party Podemos, said Sánchez’s refusal to speak to Torra was “a joke.” “This is not about whether they get on or feel like talking - it’s about institutional responsibility.” Pablo Casado, the leader of Spain’s main opposition conservative Popular Party, said Sánchez needed to take a harder line. The prime minister, he said, should write a letter to Torra and demand loyalty or launch the constitutional procedure to suspend Cataluña’s autonomy. Close to 600 people have been injured during the confrontations, including 288 police officers.

More foreign workers ANDALUCIA gained 6,120 foreign contributors to Social Security in September. This was a 2.69 per cent rise to a total of 233,704 people, as reported by the Ministry of Labour, Migration

In interannual terms, the number of foreign Social Security affiliates has increased by 15,861 workers in Andalucia in the last year, representing an increase of 7.28 per cent. At the end of September, a total of 1,275,172 foreign contributors in Spain came from non-EU countries and the rest (870,091) from European Union countries.

Below the breadline SPAIN has the seventh highest poverty rate in the European Union, a new report reveals. With one in four people in Spain at risk of social exclusion, only Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Lithuania, Italy and Latvia have greater levels of poverty among the EU member-states, according to the European AntiPoverty Network (EAPN-ES). The EAPN-ES’s ninth ‘The state of poverty’ report shows there are some 12.2 million people in Spain at risk of poverty or social exclusion, an indicator measured not only in monetary terms, but also in relation to factors including employment levels among household members and the ability to pay for basics like rent and heating. Taking income alone, more than one in five Spaniards live on less than €1,552 a month in the case of a couple with children or on €739 in oneperson households. Over 27 per cent of the population find it hard or very hard to make it to the end of the month. The EAPN-ES report, which is
RISK: One in four people in Spain are at risk of social exclusion, the report found.

for people with a disability and for young people. What’s more there is something of a north-south divide in Spain, the report indicates. While 44.6 per cent of the population in Extremadura are at risk of poverty or social exclusion, in the
Basque Country the level is 32 points lower at 12.1 per cent. Poverty levels in Spain have fallen over the last four years, EAPN-ES concluded, but the figure remains 2.3 points above that of 2008 before the economic crisis.

Brits stranded in Spain SIX holidaymakers from Northampton who were arrested in Elche last month remain on police bail and are banned from returning to the UK, having to report to Elche courthouse once a month. The six men were arrested and charged with ABH after they were reportedly involved in a fight with a group of local Spanish men while watching a football match in a bar. Witnesses in the bar said that they assaulted a 36-year-old man, without any apparent cause, after which they ran off, each also resisting arrest before being batoned by the police to the ground. The men all aged in their 20’s, remain in Elche without funding or income and now say that they may be forced to sleep rough as funds run low. They admit that they were involved in a fight involving football rivalry, but claim they were not the ones to start the fighting and not the aggressors, claiming selfdefence. The men are said to have all lost their jobs back in the UK whilst they remain stuck in Spain on bail with passports removed.

Video investigation A MAN who has been remanded in custody accused of abusing his two nieces was denounced by his own partner, it has emerged. The Guardia Civil is continuing the investigation it started when the man’s partner found
videos of sexual content in their home computer. Although the faces of the children could not be seen, the woman recognised the images as members of her own family. She discovered the videos by chance last April. The woman, who has two children with the suspect, found a folder with the images hidden inside another folder. When the man came home, she asked him for explanations. According to the testimony the woman gave before the Guardia Civil, her husband apologised and told her that he was very sorry, begging her not to tell anyone. She told
him to leave the house immediately. He picked up his things and left. It was two weeks before the woman went to police with the computer and made a complaint. She has also made back up copies of the videos in case her by now former partner accessed the computer and deleted the files. The judge investigating the case has taken testimony from the two victims, and is now waiting for a forensic analysis of the computer hard drive. One of the girls involved is thought to have been abused more than 100 times over the course of six years.

LAST Saturday, a number of members of the Bremain in Spain group who had travelled to the UK from their homes across Spain joined the huge march to Westminster to demand a #FinalSay Brexit referendum. The decision by the Prime Minister to call a ‘super Saturday’ parliamentary sitting on the same day that the march was planned ensured that unexpectedly large numbers of EU-based British subjects attended the march. Considering that when booking their flights, many didn’t know that members of the House of Commons might be voting on a newly secured Brexit agreement, or what the outcome of the parliamentary debates might be it was, for them, a day to remember. S u e Wi l s o n , C h a i r o f Bremain in Spain, said: “ We k n e w t h e d a y w o u l d be momentous, but we could never have foreseen t h e m a g n i t u d e o f S a t u rday’s events. “There was a real sense of trepidation that Johnson might pull off the seemingly impossible and get his deal through. The Letwin amendment changed all that.”

Again. Parliament has again demonstrated that it will not stand by and let this government run roughshod over this country.” Apart from demonstrators from Spain, a contingent from Gibraltar made up of residents living in the UK as well as some who flew over marched together under the Gibraltar flag.

Triumph for local athlete CANYONING is probably best described as white water rafting without the boat and as a sport sees competitors navigate their way down water filled gorges. They swim through rock pools, slide down chutes, clamber over rocks and even abseil as they combine disciplines from a number of outdoor pursuits including scrambling, abseiling, cliff jumping and swimming and it can be quite dangerous.
Miguel Angel Medina from Benalmadena is something of a success at this strenuous sport having been an Andalucian and national champion over the years and with teammate, Carlos Croce has just won the pairs event in the Spanish Canyoning Championship 2019. Their time was the fastest record of the 90 athletes taking part, although this year Miguel only took sixth place in the individual contest.
IN today’s permissive society, it is often easy to forget that for many years during the reign of Franco many Spanish and foreign films were banned by the censor. Fifty years ago however, Benalmadena started the International Amateur Film Week which pushed the censors to the absolute limit and introduced art movies to the general public. To celebrate the anniversary of this brave mission, the council together with local film aficionados will be hosting a detailed exhibition at the Casa de Cultura entitled ‘A Window to Freedom’ until November 10.

CONSENSUS: Committee agreed to consider new site.
New mosque site discussed AT a meeting hosted by the mayor of Benalmadena, Victor Navas and attended by council members, local residents and representatives of the Muslim community it was agreed that no new mosque could be built in the Miramar area. Whilst the council is very much in favour of the concept of allowing religious buildings to suit all faiths, as evidenced by the siting of European churches, Hindu temple and Buddhist stupa in the municipality, it was agreed that this was not the right location.
The problem revolved around access and parking and it is believed that there will be more appropriate sites and the council and Muslim community will be considering other possibilities for the grant of land currently owned by the town. There are now some 2,200 residents from Muslim countries living in the town and the council is committed to work to help find the ideal location for a mosque which will in due course play its part in the continued harmonious coexistence of all residents.

Favourite Son remembered THE death of the popular Catholic priest Father Manuel Gรกmez Lรณpez at the age of 92 resulted in three days of official mourning in Fuengirola with council flags flown at halfmast. This well-respected priest had already been declared a favourite son of the town in recognition of his work and dedication to the people of Fuengirola and even when he was transferred to Malaga, he kept in regular con-

Fighting Breast Cancer
THE World Health Organisation has declared that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in Fuengirola, the council turned the town hall pink (the adopted colour of awareness) and placed a pink ribbon above the entrance.
Members of the Spanish Cancer Association, AECC manned information points around the town and collected funds to help in the international investigation into trying to find a cure. Statistics show that there are about 1.38 million new cases and 458,000 deaths from breast cancer each year and although it does not exclusively affect women, it is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide, although the number of those whose lives are saved is increasing each year.
Currently there is insufficient knowledge on the causes of breast cancer therefore early detection of the disease remains the cornerstone of breast cancer control. When breast cancer is detected early, and if adequate diagnosis and treatment are available, there is a good chance that breast cancer can be cured. If detected late, h o w e v e r, c u r a t i v e t r e a t ment is often no longer an option. In such cases, palliative care to relieve the suffering of patients and their families is needed.

A spokesperson for Costa Cruises, said one of its ships, the Costa Pacifica, was sailing from Funchal, Portugal, to Malaga, Spain, on October 10 when a senior female passenger ‘voluntarily’ jumped off the ship. “Upon information received, the captain immediately turned around to search the location and alerted local search and rescue personnel,” the spokesperson said. “The ship was alerted by the guest’s cabin mate, who witnessed the victim voluntarily jump from the balcony of their cabin. As part of emergency procedures, the crew immediately launched a search and rescue mission,” said the spokesman. A sea search and rescue agency that operates in Spain, was alerted at approximately 10.45pm local time after the elderly cruiser went overboard, NATO Maritime Forces also joined Spanish authorities in the effort, according to a press release. A tug boat spotted the body of the missing person on October 11 around 9am in the Gulf of Cadiz area and the body was pulled from the sea. CCTV footage from the cruise ship from the night of the incident is being investigated and the cruise liner operators are cooperating with local authorities in the ongoing investigation.

‘Elevator rapist’ jailed PEDRO LUIS GALLEGO, the infamous ‘elevator rapist,’ was sentenced by the Provincial Court of Madrid on Monday to 97 years and eight months in prison for assaults on four girls, one of them a minor, registered in 2016 and 2017 between Madrid and Segovia. The double murderer and multiple rapist from Valladolid, now 59 years old (he turns 60 next month), will not set foot on the street again, at least for the next 22 years. He will be 82 years old when he recovers his freedom and will spend another 10 years, until he is 92, under supervised freedom.
During the same period, until the age of 92, he will not be able to set foot in Madrid again. Pedro Luis Gallego is the author of a string of crimes (illegal detention, sexual assault, injury and robbery with violence). The alarming matter behind this sentence is that it’s not the first time Pedro Luis Gallego will be behind bars. Six years ago, the ‘elevator rapist’ came out of prison with no charge other than that of his own conscience after serving only 20 years, 11 months and 28 days on a sentence of 273 years for the murders of Marta Obregón (Burgos) and Leticia Lebrato (Viana) and 18 more cases of rape committed in 1992.
It only took Pedro Luis Gallego three years to reoffend. First he tried to kidnap a 17-yearold girl at gunpoint (December 16, 2016); then he did it with another girl, whom he kidnapped and raped repeatedly in his flat in Segovia (February 19, 2017); he tried again with a third (April 2, 2017), and again with a fourth, which he also raped on the way to Segovia and then for six hours at home (April 14, 2017). There are calls for laws to be changed so that individuals such as Pero Luis Gallego are not released from prison so readily, especially when only part of the sentence has been completed.

recycle and who will educate the adults to follow those guidelines that are essential to help curb the adverse effects of climate change.” Through talks and games children will be taught how simple measures such as fixing a dripping tap, turning off lights, taking reusable bottles to school or recycling can help preserve the planet.

Marbella A CAT owner is up in arms over the fact that it would appear that those involved in catching stray animals are putting out traps to attract cats. In her case, she says on social media that when her cat disappeared she couldn’t understand why no-one in authority had contacted her as it was easily identifiable as it was wearing a collar with the name of the animal and the telephone number of the owners. She believes that as a committed owner, who had her cat (which was also wearing a flea collar) neutered should not have been removed to the Triple A animal charity, but she should instead have been contacted so that she could collect the animal. The positive news was that she was alerted by Triple A about the animal’s whereabouts but she is irritated that she had to pay the council for its removal to the charity. Others have responded saying that if the cat was allowed to be outside of the owner’s property it could wander the streets and they were in favour of it being removed, as many cats (feral or not) make a mess in other people’s gardens.

It was only after members of the public reported that the vehicle was parked in Gibraltar that the Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) attended and questioned the Spanish officers, taking them to the nearest police station and then escorting them back to the border.
Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo tweeted that the incident was unacceptable, adding “Our systems have failed today and they must not fail again” he then went on to say there must be an investigation to establish responsibility for this error. An enquiry is now underway, but in the meantime, two Borders and Coast Guard officers and two Customs officers have been suspended, pending further investigations.

In a bid to gauge the opinion of Britons in Spain, EuroWeekly hit the streets of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. Notepad in hand, it wasn’t hard to come across holidaymakers and residents alike who shared one thing in common: uncertainty about the future.
What do you think will happen with Brexit on October 31, 2019? HOLIDAYMAKER Richard Holmes, was enjoying a stroll through the streets of Fuengirola when he was approached by EuroWeekly for a quote. He didn’t mention his position regarding the referendum, but was straightforward in his approach and considered a deal very necessary. “Brexit now. It needs to happen. Even if we don’t leave by the 31st it will definitely be before the end of the year. The whole thing just needs to be over.”
They expressed their unease about the big decision and felt unsure about the exit taking effect by the deadline. Nonetheless, Mr Jobbins maintained that although a deal might not be possible, there would still be trade deals put in place. Ever since the referendum they have been against the decision to leave and prefer to remain in Europe. This may not be so surprising, as they later explained their son is chairman of one of the associations that supports the YesCymru campaign for Welsh independence. Despite this, the insight they gave into the Welsh consensus was very interesting. “In Wales, 20 per cent of people are Welsh speakers and 68 per cent of this group voted to leave the EU. Rural Wales, especially the industrial mining areas were solid to get out. They felt there was a problem with immigration and didn’t think further than that. The funny thing is, there aren’t many immigrants there at all.” PM: Boris Johnson.
She conceded she voted to remain and believes that the upcoming decision is a hard call to make. “I reckon it will be No Deal but then again, countries like Spain need the money. Tourism is a big thing here.” When asked about the prime minister, Eileen admitted she can’t take Boris Johnson seriously. On the other hand, husband Seamus vote d t o l e a v e a n d t h i n k s i t w o n ’t b e p o s t poned after the Halloween cut off. “We will leave by the 31st. I do think that May threw her hand down too soon in the negotiations. The deal we had then was better and I believe we won’t get one now.”
HOLIDAYMAKER: Richard Holmes.
Eileen and Seamus from Northern Ireland spend a lot of time in the south of Spain and travel to the area at least four times a year. The couple, who enjoy the sun and relaxation, aren’t however in complete agreeance over Brexit. Eileen expressed her objection to leaving the EU but admitted that in the case of a No Deal she is eligible for an Irish passport. “If it comes down to it, I can always get an Irish passport.” she said with a smile.
SEAMUS AND EILEEN: Not in agreement over Brexit.
Mr and Mrs Jobbins from Wales travel to Spain often and enjoy their time abroad.
Roy Carrick, holidaymaker from Reading, said: “I hope there will be a deal on the 31st as I c o m e a l o t t o S p a i n o n h o l i d a y. B o r i s Johnson is doing well and he has a good plan. He is looking out for the police and taking care of our healthcare. But I do worry this will affect me and my travels to the Costa del Sol.” British resident in Spain, Sarah Cooke, added: “I don’t want to get started on the topic. Those MPs need to get their act together.” While Keris and Frank, also British residents living on the Costa del Sol, were hesitant to speak up about Brexit, they voiced their trust in the UK. BREXIT. “We’ll get a deal. Whatever happens we will get something. We are the fifth richest nation and Europe aren’t going to let us go just like that.”

This will be held on Thursdays and Saturdays between 10am and 12 noon in the H o g a r d e l P e n s i o n i s t a ’s m u l t i p u r p o s e room. Entitled Secretos de una mujer feliz (Secrets of a happy woman) the course continues until next May and is open to women of all ages and nationalities, promoting empowerment individually, collectively and socially. “The course will show them how to handle emotions, listen to them and recognise them,” explained Equality councillor Rocio Guijarro. “It also promotes self-esteem, motivation, and capacity for decision-making.” The empowerment course will provide spaces for reflection and self-awareness that can show women how to identify what they need and what they lack, while improving their self-esteem by appreciating their qualities and resources, Guijarro said. The organisers also hope that the course c a n s t i m u l a t e c r e a t i v i t y, p o s i t i v i t y a n d g o o d h u m o u r, h e l p i n g p a r t i c i p a n t s t o recognise their personal worth, generating networks and encouraging unity.

Takes Another Step Forward
MALAGA CITY: A new luxury hotel is proposed for the dock area. THE proposed new luxury hotel and conference centre planned for the Levante dock in Malaga has taken another step forward last week after a meeting was held at the Malaga Town Hall between the mayor and key financiers. Representatives of the Qatari Royal family, who are financing the project, met with Malaga mayor Francisco de la Torre to discuss plans for the upcoming venture. The Qatari royals were represented by former Real Madrid president Ramón Calderón who was acting as spokesperson of both the family and their affiliated holding company, Al Alfia. The proposed hotel is planned for a site at the end of the Levante dock in Malaga’s high end port area. It will include a 135-metre-tall 35-storey tower, luxury hotel rooms and a world class business centre. It is estimated to cost around €150 million, completely funded by the Qatari family. Although construction work was due to begin in 2020, this now seems unlikely as a mountain of bureaucratic paperwork needs to be completed before the work can start.

Phoenician site clean up THE deputy mayor of Torre del Mar, Jesus Perez Atencia, and councillor for the Environment, Antonio Ariza have announced a clear up programme to uncover the historically valuable Phoenician sites of Tuscany. The sites have been buried under mountains of undergrowth and domestic waste and despite weekly tours given by historical societies; it has remained untouched until now. Atencia, and Ariza announced the plan on Monday morning and have confirmed the council’s commitment to the historical value of the site. “We have, once and for all been able to act in these important sites, which were completely buried in undergrowth,” explained Atencia. “The council has mobilised a team of parks and gardens to adapt this site with an important remit of cleaning and clearing,” continued Ariza “We wanted to start by discovering reeds and weeds throughout the site to continue with a later intervention around the perimeter of the site.” The local council has placed extremely high value on the site historically and they understand the importance that the site offers to the economy and tourism industry in Velez-Malaga and Torre del Mar.

Tap into clean water
Hospital kitchens’ Michelin makeover HOSPITAL food doesn’t always get the best reports. But patients at the Hospital Universitario Los Arcos del Mar Menor would have had nothing to complain about when they had food prepared by a Michelin starred chef. Pablo Gonzalez celebrated Hospitality Day organised by food wholesalers Makro - by creating a tapa that was cooked and served at the hospital. In total, more than 540 tapas were offered to patients in five hospitals throughout Spain. The others were the Universitario General de Elche, Vinalopó (C Valenciana) and Universitario Severo Ochoa and Infanta Leonor (both in Madrid). All the tapas had one thing in common - they were created especially for the occasion by local Michelin starred chefs. Pablo González Conejero prepared a strawberry and wild fruit gazpacho, while in Elche Susi Díaz prepared a citrus eclair, a dessert filled with citrus cream, covered with white chocolate and silver powder. Severo Ochoa and Infanta Leonor patients were able to try a ‘plankton’ salad and a croquette of mint stew accompanied by chickpea purée, made by Rodrigo de la Calle and Iván Muñoz, respectively.

RECOGNITION: The council presented awards in recognition of service, bravery and for doing an excellent job.
Thanks for job well done HUERCAL-OVERA has thanked the municipality’s Local Police and Guardia Civil and Levante firefighters for their good work. Following a mass to mark the celebration of the day of the police’s patron saints, Mayor Francisca Lourdes Fernandez and Local Police chief Cristobal Artero presented several awards. Guardia Civil lieutenant Jose Manuel Bermudez was recognised for his coordination of the municipal security forces. The council recognised the Levante firefighting service for its protection of local residents and for its collaboration with the Local Police team. There was also an award for Jose Benitez for what the local authority stressed was the “bravery” he showed in helping police, Guardia Civil and firefighters rescue a person trapped by flooding in their vehicle on the A-350 during the torrential rains in the early hours of September 13. “Without thinking twice about the risk he was running, and driven only by saving the life of a person who was trapped, he made up part of the rescue team,” the council said. The mayor took the opportunity to highlight “the well-deserved homage and fair recognition” of the Local Police force “for being the true promoters of democratic values based on respect for the law and regulations on coexistence.”
EMAYA has launched a project to improve the quality and taste of tap water and promote its consumption in Mallorca. As part of Palma City Council’s project to promote the consumption of tap water, Emaya’s board of directors awarded Aquambiente and Suez Treatment Solutions the project for the ultrafiltration of water from the natural sources that supply Palma. The work will take around 20 months to complete and aims to improve the taste of water and to double the capacity of treating water from source, which will go from 500 to 1,000 litres per second, and generate more water from renewable and sustainable resources. The current system does not make it possible to take advantage of a significant part of the water that flows from the sources during the rainy season, due to a lack of capacity and because it cannot treat water that has a high degree of turbidity or cloudiness. The town hall hopes to increase consumption of tap water by the public and reduce the consumption of plastic bottles. The president of Emaya, Ramon Perpinyà, reminded everyone that Palma’s water is drinkable, has all the health guarantees for human consumption, and is controlled and analysed continuously. The project will include the construction of a 600 square metre building in Son Tugores with new pipes, pump systems and the renovation of the electrical installation and the control system.

Visa free passports for sale
IF you are worried about travelling through Europe after Brexit and have plenty of money, then there is the option of buying a foreign passport for as little as $100,000 (€90,000). The market for these passports is estimated at €22 billion per annum by the BBC and one of the best sell ers is that from the pacific nation of Vanuatu where for $150,000 (€135,000) you can get your pass port in as little as 30 days. Just 40 years ago, this chain of islands was known as the New He brides Condominium and was gov
By John Smith erned by France and the UK, but on independence had to find ways of earning money. It was up there at the start of the email boom selling its very lu crative .vu addresses and now it’s selling passports which if you have the right contacts you can order online. It’s all down to agreements with other countries about visas and those holding a Vanuatu passport can enter 118 different countries (including at the moment the UK)
without a visa, so many rich Asians in particular are finding this an ide al country to become involved with. It won’t get you into the USA but every member of the EU recog nises it as well as plenty that aren’t. In reality, numerous countries (many of them EU members) are doing this, but not perhaps so bla tantly and a Spanish passport will cost in the region of €500,000 and a Maltese one €900,000, although the British passport is still popular even if it costs more than €2 mil lion.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Is town hall responsible? Can you clarify the advice you gave about plan ning permission for building an extension in a community? You surmised that the court case was lost be cause the community’s permission had not been obtained. You then state: ‘Properly, your town hall should not have issued a building permit without first seeing this permis sion.’ Our Community has frequent problems with owners making structural alterations without seeking approval at the AGM. At a meeting with a lawyer for our local town hall, we were told that ensuring someone has AGM ap proval is not the responsibility of the town hall. The lawyer stated that as long as the building regulations were not breached the town hall has to issue the licence. Could you tell me what the legal reference is for your statement? G C (Costa del Sol)
Your town hall lawyer is quite right. The YOU AND THE town building de LAW IN SPAIN partment has no le gal obligation to re quire the community’s permission in order to issue the building permit. However, some of the more conscientious town halls will question its absence, which is what led me to use the term ‘properly.’ Wishful thinking on my part, and sorry to have misled you.

The court finally agreed with the Spanish courts that the decision to place hidden cameras in their place of work without telling was both ‘proportionate and legitimate’ as there had been clear evidence of discrepancies between stock counts and daily takings.

Airlines to reduce cabin fumes By John Smith SOME two months ago flight BA422 from Heathrow to Valencia suddenly filled with what was de scribed as choking smoke and a BBC report has highlighted the fact that some of the passengers con tinue to suffer with breathing diffi culties. As the matter is still being investi gated by Spanish air accident au thorities, BA have declined to com ment due to legal reasons, but this is just one of a whole string of simi lar incidents that go back for more than a decade.
CHECK IN: Any flight could experience a fume event.
Safer online transfers
FEW consumers will realise that with effect from the end of September new security and authentication requirements (PSD2 directive) were supposed to be in place throughout the European Union to cover online transactions. In actual fact, there has been a time-slip and the Bank of Spain has indicated that all banks, online businesses and payment service providers in Spain have until the end of this year to submit their proce-
dures which would require positive responses to two out of three questions to allow payment to go through. The concept is that there must be an answer to a question, details of a password and voice or fingerprint recognition and once all of that is in place, then the actual start date will not be until January 1, 2021! The idea behind this is to increase consumer safety and harmonise the rules across the EU.
In actual fact it is unlikely that the problem was caused by smoke, but was yet another fume event which some experts say is responsible for symptoms known as Aerotoxic Syn drome which may also affect pilots and cabin crew on a long term basis. Ironically when smoking was banned on aircraft, most airlines decided that rather than suck fresh air into the cabins through the en gine intakes, they would make oth er arrangements in order to reduce fuel costs. Instead, they decided to recycle air via the engines and it is claimed that the valves controlling this can often allow pollutants to escape, causing these fume events within an aircraft. It is in theory possible to add spe cial filters to the system, but some observers suggest that this is not being done because it could give public recognition to the concept of Aerotoxic Syndrome and thus leave airlines open to being sued for com pensation. As the number of fume event re ports grow, so will the need to in vestigate the true reason for their cause.

Transgender games
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT AT the risk of upsetting my gay friends and relatives, whom I truly do love dearly, I am going to stride purposefully out on a limb and state quite categorically that I am utter ly against transgender males competing in female sporting competitions. This statement has nothing to do with ho mophobia (heaven forbid) it is reached by the simple conclusion that it’s obviously not fair. Merely because a muscle bound weightlifter decides he wants to change his name to Doris and live as a woman, his choice should in no way give him / her / it / us / them / we, the right to compete against the fair sex in trials of strength. If this practice were allowed to prevail in all sporting competitions, most of them would never see a genetic female grace the winner’s dais again. So, as much as I truly do sympathise with the situations that the transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon finds herself in, the idea that she has being ‘vic timised’ and ‘it’s not fair’ that she be exclud ed from female competitions, is in fact quite the reverse. Despite what she would have us think, men and women on this planet are dif ferent, particularly in the physical sense. Does she truly believe that it would be
GAMES: Should there be a separate category for transgender sportsmen and women?
‘fair’ to pit male boxers and wrestlers, against females? Would she be prepared to take the responsibility of fatalities or serious injuries in the ring simply because she con siders all opposition to her opinions are ho mophobic, or simply ‘not fair’? No, this is the usual rhetoric from another minority, not at
all happy with their lot, who are utterly inse cure in their ‘differences’ and consider the only way they can be accepted is to brow beat the majority into recognising their situa tion as ‘the norm.’ Well, it’s not the ‘norm.’ What this person should really be doing is accepting and taking pride in the knowledge
that there are many human beings who are in fact different, and to celebrate this phe nomena by working toward and perhaps in troducing a separate category for transgen der sportsmen and women, in much the same way as the wonderful work and effort that has resulted in the worldwide success of those that find themselves physically im paired. I didn’t hear those marvelous people whingeing and whining about their infirmi ties. Their paraOlympics and competitions are magnificent and a sparkling example of what can be overcome by the human spirit. So I suggest that all those transgender sports people who figure themselves hard done by and put upon, to stop blaming the majority and come up with some positive way of improving their lot. What a great event something like that could actually be. ‘The Transgender Games.’ Book me in on the front row and stop being such pathetic de generating drags! Many congrats here to Grete and Steiner on their 50 years together and many thanks to the good people of the Pineapple Albir for a great welcome at the gig for the celebrations. Keep the faith.

Britain, Boris and Brexit NORA JOHNSON
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
A TIME for memoirs, it seems. No sooner has David Cameron published his than we have those of the late Peter Sissons, an account of his 45 years in broadcast journalism, the last 20 of which he spent at the BBC after he was offered a halfa-million-pound contract to quit ITN in the late 1980s. But whether, in their respective mem oirs, it’s Cameron upsetting HM The Queen or Sissons the BBC, Sissons has, undeniably, the better anecdotes. Becoming a familiar face on TV but not necessarily a household name, he found people frequently mistook him for Regi nald Bosanquet. This wasn’t as bad, though, as the occasion when he was on a cruise and a woman yelled out: “Look, it’s that Peter Sutcliffe!” Despite being confused with the York shire Ripper, Sissons was often invited to speak at conferences. One was to a
CAMERON: Published memoirs. group of sex therapists discussing erec tile dysfunction. Keen to appear knowl edgeable, Sissons read up academic pa pers, discovering that patients rarely want to discuss the condition with their GP. They make an appointment on a pre text and raise the issue only as they’re at the door about to leave. Sissons later dis covered from medics that the technical term for this is ‘the ‘handonknob’ con sultation.’ As for Theresa May, she’s not writing her memoirs fortunately! I mean, what COULD they possibly say? ‘My Time As
PM or How I Fudged Everything, Messed Up Democracy and Delivered Nothing.’ Chapter 1. Handed job of Home Secre tary. Messed up police service. Chapter 2. Handed job of PM with good majority. Chapter 3. Called General Election, messed up campaign, lost majority. Chapter 4. Messed up Brexit. Chapter 5. The End. When Boris inevitably pens HIS mem oirs about Britain and Brexit, they’ll make Monty Python look like Panorama. Since you need to dig the dirt to shift memoirs, let’s hope they don’t dwell on those infamous poledancing ‘technical’ lessons he received at the, um, hands of his, um, ‘technical adviser.’ Incidentally, I’m often asked if I’m re lated to Boris (Johnson, geddit?). Well, I couldn’t possibly comment! Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘Betrayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribu tion,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.norajohnson.net) avail able online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback & (now) audiobook.

What type of trading animal are you? ANIMALS have always been synonymous with the stock market. Financial outlooks can be Dovish or Hawkish and stocks can have a dead cat bounce. Traders and strategies can al so be likened to animals be cause of their traits and tenden cies. Here’s a few we’ve compiled for you: Bull (rising prices) The bull is the opposite of the bear. Very optimistic and expect higher rates during the day and afterwards, trading accordingly. Shark (quick turnaround) This is a tough investor who wants to earn money quickly. He scans for chances of winning, gets in quickly and when the
time comes will soon be out again. An opportunist who’s al ways looking for new deals. Dog (under performer) The dog is a share that you don’t want to be left with. A re al under performer. In the movie Wall Street it’s ramped up to ‘a dog with fleas.’ Other in vestors, may see a
dog as an opportunity. Sheep (no focus or strategy) A sheep is also careful, but above all it does not have its own plan or
strategy. Often following oth ers, not realising what is really happening. And sometimes misses large movements up or down. Ostrich (denies loss / risk) The ostrich is someone who tends to put his head in the sand. For example, ig
nores bad news about a compa ny they have invested in and simply hoping that things will turn out well. Whale (moves markets) The whale is a powerful play er that can move prices and markets, but does so cautiously so ordinary investors don¡t no tice. Many investors are on the lookout for the whale so they can hitch a ride.
ANIMALS: Synonymous with the stock market.
Find out which type of investor animal you are by opening a trading account with BinckBank that gives you access to 40 markets and 40,000 funds and shares. Take control of your financial future and invest for your future. Find out more at www.binckbank.com. Trading in financial products always involves a risk. The value of your investment may go down as well as up. As a general rule, you should therefore only trade in financial products if you understand the products and the risks associated with them.

Well where do you start? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man WITHOUT looking at google, what is a ‘snowflake’ generation? Or ‘woke millennial’ or ‘woke generation’? How about a meme? Ever heard of that? All of a sudden I’m hearing and reading these phrases all the time and I don’t have a clue what they are talking about. I heard someone call a person on the TV a ‘fan toosh.’ I mean, have I missed something? I know what you’re thinking, ‘yeah but we have always had new words.’ I remember when the word fab was used for the first time and other ‘cool’ words, but they were all mostly used by the kids to confuse their parents. These new(ish) words are part of everyday language. I hear them on the news or read them on Twitter from older people. Then we have the whole gender thing. It used to be men and women now, well where do you start? Gender fluid, pansexu al, trans fluid, agender, demisexual there are now hundreds of different words to de
scribe what you are. Here’s a blinder for you ‘cisgender’ is a phrase I heard a woman on the telly describe herself as. So I looked it up and guess what it means? Ready? de noting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender corre sponds with their birth sex. In other words she’s a woman identifying as a woman. Why doesn’t she just say I’m a woman? I am not transphobic, I’m just confused. I also get angry because I think as soon as some one has any kind of opinion other than the trans world’s they are accused of all sorts of things. I don’t agree that awards cere monies should now only have awards for ‘them,’ not best male or female artist. Why is my opinion less valid than a singer who doesn’t identify as a bloke any more? Why does everything have to be changed for him or them or however they wish to be called? Plus I don’t agree that children as young as six should be taught in school that there are over a 100 different genders. The Royal College of General Practition ers recognises six genders. That’s four more than I was taught about at school! Yes there has to be sex education for kids at school but at what age I’m not sure and telling them there are over 100 genders is just bonkers. Sorry if that offends anyone, but I’m allowed my opinion!

LETTERS FROM CANARIES By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com DEAR mainlanders, I don’t know about you, but I find the Thomas Cook Group’s collapse a bit sad? Perhaps because in the 60’s we flew off to the then deeply exotic and foreign Spain with Thomas Cook. Like lots of other British working class families, it was our first holiday abroad. We landed in a rugged landscape, blasted by the sun. People were loud. Wine, (the adults were thrilled), was cheaper than water. Large women in flounces danced flamenco for our entertainment. I understood the accompanying shouts of ‘guapa’ to be ‘whopper.’ Coming from Twiggy’s England, this celebration of ample flesh made a big impression. Life there looked more vivid, more joyful. Even the dictatorship somehow quainted itself into unimportance. Guardia Civil with funny hats and serious firepower smiled at families of tourists like us. Tourism was Spain’s best hope for the immediate future. I loved the whole Thomas Cook-facilitated, experience. I’ve just realised that the decision, decades later, to stop being an FE lecturer in Dorset in favour of moving us to

Demise Spells Trouble
IMPLICATIONS: Thomas Cook going bust could spell trouble for many tourist destinations. Spanish territory probably stems from that first visit. Cook’s beginnings as a travel agent had nothing to do with the cheap booze enjoyed by my family and most Brit tourists (ad nauseum) since. A strict Baptist who’d taken the temperance pledge, he’d have been appalled. He organised meetings and anti-liquor processions, taking 500 temperance campaigners from Leicester to a teetotal rally in Loughborough
for a shilling each in 1841, his first excursion. Fourteen years later, he organised ‘grand circular tours’ of Belgium, Germany and France, ending at the Paris Exhibition. Over the following 164 years, the company became one of the best known in the travel business. Its demise means trouble for many desinations, among them the Canary Islands, where 750,000 tourists won’t now be coming. Tenerife is the worst affected Spanish destination, Lanzarote the second and Mallorca
the third. “The Canary and Balearic Islands are worst affected,” confirms the company. The smaller islands El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera whose ‘green’ tourists, travelling principally to walk and enjoy nature, peace and quiet don’t buy package holidays, have escaped, although the crash of Thomas Cook Airlines may affect some. Back on the bigger islands, the situation is especially bad because high season is October to Easter. Winter sun is what brings visitors. “It leaves us with little capacity to respond,” says Francisco Moreno, of the hotel chain Lopesan, which manages 17 establishments in the islands. There’s of course real concern about jobs. “Last week we were full, and now look,” says Lorenzo Naranjo, Playa del Inglés, Gran Canaría waiter, pointing to the empty tables. “Not one English person,” he says. Canary Islands President, Ángel Víctor Torres, announced that social security contributions can be postponed to help protect jobs, while UGT Union spokesperson José Ramirez urges calm with: “I think the market has the capacity to immediately fill a large part of what has been lost.” With clowns now ringmasters of the political circus, anything could happen.

THIS may be something that gets you angry. Speaking to many Brits who drive through France and parts of Spain, there seems to be a dramatic i n c r e a s e o f d r i v e r s r e c e i v i n g m e s sages from home saying that they have a speeding notification from ei ther the French or Spanish police. I personally have had four, and one of them was for exceeding the limit by 1kph. Looks like a ‘get the British before Brexit’ scheme to me. Would greatly appreciate your take on this. Cheers. John Sales NOTIFICATION: Is there a rise in speeding penalties?
Which way? I READ a while ago that Torrevieja Town Hall announced that there was now a relief road to reduce conges tion on the CV95 and, true enough, there is... except that there is nothing to advise the motorists of same. The signs at the roundabout on the CV95 still say only ‘Urbanizacion’ whilst at the Via Park 3 end, there is nothing to indicate where the road goes to. The sign for Orihuela is still indi cating the road by the Via Park 3 centre. To make matters worse, if any one does find and take the road from the Aldi end they will soon see a ‘No Through Road’ sign con fronting them! No chance of the congestion be ing relieved whilst these signs re main as they are. Barry Weston
Politically correct LEAPY LEE Just read your article in Euro Weekly and it reminded me of a true story that happened in west Wales about 20 years ago. A local shopkeeper used to put up a joke of the day in his shop window.
The one day he displayed Q/ ‘What do you call three days of rain and then a day of sunshine?’ A/ ‘A bank holiday in Wales.’ Most people thought it was just a crap joke.
HAVE YOUR SAY
A guy made a formal complaint about the shopkeeper stating it was racist as it was antiWelsh. Everybody thought the complainant should get a life until the guy was interviewed and it transpired that the shopkeeper was Indian and that if the complainant had made a similar type of joke about the shopkeeper’s home town he would have been had up for racism. All he was saying is that it should be a twoway street. I have also argued that being born in 1960 exposed you to a totally different education and upbringing just look at the TV shows and remember the name of Richard Todd’s (Guy Gibson) dog in the film Dambusters. Robertson’s jam with Gollywogs etc. We are now re ferred to as racist. I am not at all racist but I still find black jokes amusing. I have conceded that in current times I may not be politically correct, but I am definitely not racist. Kind regards Mark Evans, Moraira

CLOCKS will be going back all over the EU in the early hours of Saturday October 26. This will mean a whole 60 minutes more in bed. Three in the morning will go back to two, giving people the perfect start to a restful Sunday. This practice is known as DST - daylight saving time and will essentially transfer an hour of evening daylight to the morning. The contrary happens between spring and autumn, when there is an extra hour of daylight in the evening. DST has been the subject of much debate this year and in March the European Parliament announced its support to abolish the system in 2021. However, the majority of countries haven’t been able to come to a decision internally. Many investigations have tried predicting the preferable schedule. The Spanish Society of Sleep backs the winter timetable, explaining that it allows a better relation between sunlight and the population’s activity. They argue that light in the morning is more beneficial. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in the UK disagrees and complains that the clock moving back means that traffic rush hours in the afternoon are in darkness. More accidents happen in the afternoon peak than in the morning peak and the time change may increase the numbers. With 80 per cent of Europeans against DST, it is probable that the practice will be revisited in future discussions in an attempt to decipher the best routine for people’s lifestyle and well-being.

YOUR STARS
TIME OUT
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A door fleetingly opens in front of you and you see something desirable. After the door has closed you still see the image. Why do you deny what you need when it is so easily possible for you to attain it? Reach out this week in the right direction and keep moving forward. .
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As you know what you want, it should be a simple thing to devise a method of getting it. But you may need a little expert help and lots of determination. Younger people turn out to be most useful in this respect and treat the whole thing as a game.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A surprise visit or phone call this week takes your mind back into the past. Perhaps something that you did not fully understand is now explained. Although, there may be elements that you find upsetting midweek, it is important to realise that some things come your way for a good reason.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is always difficult for you to stand by and see others make glaring mistakes, especially a family member. However, there are times when it is important that people work things out for themselves. It is only then that a lesson is truly taken on board.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Doing what is 'right' comes easily to you, but this week throws up a strange situation, and this time doing what is 'right' could have the wrong result. I do hope that doesn't sound confusing, because it is not meant to be. To get the outcome that you desire it may be necessary for you to withhold some information.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) It is hard to fit into a situation this week - you thought nothing of putting yourself in a certain position, but now that you are there you see the problem. You are not so much out of place, as feeling rather awkward. Why? This is a new experience for you, and you are unused to new places.
‘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.’
LEO (July 24 - August 23) A recently-accepted project seems to be running away with itself - did you volunteer to do something small and find out that it is a big task? Never mind, because you are quite able to ask for help, and in doing so you could meet someone who will be very important to you. Do I have your interest now?
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You will consider this quite a boring week, no doubt, but that could soon be remedied as you seek out invitations and social events. You are doing no favours, either to yourself or others, if you do not push yourself forward. Others enjoy your company, even though you may be bored with it yourself.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It may be a bit scary doing something different - you are a strong person, but unused to entering into new experiences. Consider how you would have approached this situation 20 years ago; have you really changed? Are you not the same person? Try to gain a new experience every week. .
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) It may be that you hesitate when offered an opportunity, not necessarily because you think that you are not up to it. The problem may be that you are aware that there are social aspects, and perhaps you feel unable to cope with too much attention at one time. Life busy enough?
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Non-communication is a worrying thing. You sent out a message some time ago that remains unanswered, so to save yourself agonies, why not telephone? Perhaps you hesitate because of a rejection in the past.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Having put out feelers for something to do in the summer evenings, it now seems that you are spoiled for choice. Go for new experiences first and the tried and tested later.

BIRTHDAYS
IN his only official autobiography, music icon Elton John reveals the truth about his life, from his rollercoaster lifestyle to becoming a national treasure. Christened Reginald Dwight, he was a shy boy with Buddy Holly glasses who grew up in the London suburb of Pinner and dreamed of becoming a pop star. By the age of 23 he was performing his first gig in America, facing an astonished audience in his bright yellow dungarees, a starspangled t-shirt, and boots with wings. Elton John had arrived and the music world would never be the same again. In Me, Elton also writes powerfully about his addictions, getting clean and changing his life, finding love with David Furnish and becoming a father. In a voice that is warm, humble, and open, this is Elton on his music and his relationships, his passions and his mistakes.

We can work it out MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING I HEARD a very funny skit on the radio a few weeks back; it was that curious I stayed a few min utes longer in the car just to hear more. The topic was Brexit and although it was undoubtedly a comedy I was listening to a truth so profound it made me question what being British is really all about. I’ve since learnt this was a scene from a television show ‘Yes Minis ter’ which makes fun of the British government by highlighting the many truths we only seem capable of facing apparently when placed in a comic setting. This particular sketch poignantly pointed out how England is just following the same foreign policy
it has for the past 500 years: di vide and conquer. They joke about how this tactic has served them so well in the past and it seems they’re pulling if off once again. If they couldn’t put a stop to the creation of the Economic Euro pean Community there was no al ternative but for the UK to join, just so they could break it up from the inside. And so it was done… or is being done ‘as we speak.’ So now what does it mean for the Brits and their relationship with the rest of the world as of November? There has been so much talk about it and so many recommendations on what to do in preparation, but with just days to go, have we actually done it? Our British Consul, Charmaine Arbouin is not so sure and really wants us to all be as prepared as possible. With this clearly in mind she kindly returns to Marbella Now (airing on RTV Marbella this Friday October 25) with last

Albeit a somewhat tiresome subject in many respects it is im portant we know what to do, so we also have Anne Hernandez of Brexpats in Spain joining the TV show next week with further ad vice we need to share amongst our community and then, after Brexit, on November 12 at 5pm Charmain Arbouin will join Reme dios Bocanegra, our Marbella Councillor for Foreign Residents, at the Palacio de Congresos to once again address the communi ty, this time in person to also an swer any questions.

Squeaky clean
SOME tips on getting rid of as many germs as possible when washing your hands. Use enough soap and work up a good amount of lather and to actually kill the bacteria with antibac terial soaps. Wash for around 20 or 30 seconds, before rinsing them well. It is then important to dry hands with a ‘clean paper towel’ or allow them to air dry.
HEALTH and well-being is high on the agenda for many of us, but while diet and exercise may take top priority, do you ever stop to take notice of your eyes? Evidence suggests our eye health isn’t something we pay close enough attention to as a quarter say they don’t have a check every two years. That is why as part of Blindness Aware ness Month this October, Specsavers Óp ticas is urging the nation to take action to day so they can protect their vision for tomorrow. Having your eyes tested does not just check for changes in vision, but can help prevent sight loss through early detection of conditions and even spot other health concerns such as brain tu mours or problems with your circulation. Dr Nigel Best, Specsavers clinical spokesperson, says: “Vision is our most precious sense and the one people fear losing the most. It deserves care and reg ular attention. There have been signifi cant advancement in opticians’ ability to diagnose disease and everyone should take advantage of the latest innovations at high street opticians.”

Surprising things that affect our eyes
BRIGHT EYES: We should have regular eye tests, at least once every two years. He adds: “Regular eye tests combined with some simple wellbeing habits can help reduce the risk of developing certain conditions and make it more likely that
any problems are detected early.” Here Dr Best shares some everyday habits we can adopt to help futureproof our eye health.
• Stay active to reduce the risk of developing agerelated macular degeneration and cataracts • Don’t hold back the tears a good cry can lubricate our eyes, wash away foreign matter and help reduce the risk of eye in fections • Eat plenty of fish which is high in omega 3 fatty acids to help with eye lubri cation • Get enough sleep to avoid twitching eye muscles • Enjoy avocados as they are rich in zinc and vitamin B which help stave off cataracts, and have a high amount of lutein which research suggests can help to prevent agerelated macular degenera tion • Drink plenty of water to avoid symp toms of dry eye • Don’t leave your eye makeup on when you go to sleep as it will increase your chances of getting bacterial and oil build up around your eyes or even inflam mation • Wash your hands before handling your contact lenses and ensure you care for your contact lenses properly to reduc ing the risk of getting bacteria in the eye.

Baby Bugatti enters Production NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England
THE Geneva Motor Show has seen the launch of many new cars to the world. Bugatti celebrating its 110th birthday this year decided to mark the anniversary with several special editions including the Baby Bugatti II. Announced as a limited edition of just 500 cars the Baby Bugatti II’s sold out in just weeks. At the Geneva Motor Show the Baby was a 3D printed model. After many months of further de velopment this year the first working prototype the Baby Bugatti II XP1 was presented to a spe cial gathering of Bugatti customers held at the marque’s home at Molsheim in September. The original Baby Bugatti was a gift by Ettore Bugatti to his son Roland for his fourth birthday in 1926. The toy car was a half scale of the Type 35 built for the 1924 French Grand Prix at Lyon. The response from customers to this charming present was so strong that some 500 Baby Bugattis were manufactured between 1927 and 1936. The Baby Bugatti II unlike the original is de signed to be driven not only by children but also

When the authorities discovered he had her corpse under his bed they ordered an immediate burial, and the fellow was carted off to a home for the incurably deranged.

And when you caused a tsunami of foam by dumping two litres of de tergent in your home town’s new fountain, it brought traffic to a halt for hours.

Urban Music Show TOMORROW evening (Friday October 25), lovers of Reggaeton and rap will be flock ing to the Benahavis Urban Music Show which starts at 8.30pm and runs until mid night at the Municpal Hall. It’s a free concert with headliner the up and coming local singer M Gabbana sup ported by a number of musicians and singers from the surrounding area including Gringo, Hamak, Ingrato, Tronco, Sofi Marston and Da Silva Coín.
Although little known to the English speaking world, Reggaeton came to every one’s attention with the single Despacito by Luis Fonsi which was a worldwide hit. It has been organised by the local council because they say that local youngsters had demanded that they get to hear some of their favourite music and for those without transport there will be a bus leaving San Pedro Alcantara at 7pm operated by the Portillo company.

This week Celebrity & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks a gastronomic tasting menu for vegans and vegetarians.
Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com A VEGAN is a person who does not eat any an imal produce or byproducts of animals what soever, for example, milk, eggs, butter, cheese, cream. Different to a vegetarian who doesn’t eat meat either but does eat eggs, cheese, milk etc. Someone who doesn’t eat meat but will still eat fish and eggs, cheese etc is a pescatarian. I make this point because we have many clients that book as vegetarians, but then turn out to be able to eat fish! In the US according to a survey, from 2014 to 2017 veganism grew from 1 per cent to over 6 per cent of the population, making its growth more than 600 per cent! Since then veganism has soared more in pop ularity and 2019 is supposed to be the year when its popularity will be at its peak. There are moral and health reasons for being a vegan, but also environmental reasons. Another study shows vegetarians and vegans live longer than meat eaters up to between six and nine years longer which is a significant amount. Possibly this isn’t all to do with their exception to meat. Vegetarians and vegans usually have a healthier lifestyle, are more like

I attach a photo of a vegan menu we are cur rently using (prebook with notice only please!) you can see the creativity and time that has had to go into each course. It’s far simpler to cook a piece of beef! Personally I don’t want to be a vegetarian or a vegan because I like my quality beef and fresh fish too much. I buy some of the best quality longline caught fish and organic meat in the world. Aged Galician beef, organic Irish lamb, na tional Spanish lobsters, hand dived scallops, At lantic prawns, etc and I wouldn’t be able to re sist them! However if I was in a restaurant where I could clearly see by looking at the concept that the chicken and the beef is likely to come from the cash and carry, I will order the vegetarian option. Sadly though there are still a lot of places over here that serve frozen or tinned vegetables, not only are there no health bene fits here, but there is no flavour either! There are many recipes that I could give you to make at home for vegans and vegetarians but one of the most popular is a little starter (or could be a tapa) made from wild mushrooms. It’s a delicious pate spread it onto toasted walnut bread with a little marmite salsa!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Pate of wild mushrooms, chestnuts, marmite salsa, walnut bread THIS simple recipe is also vegetarian but for vegetarians I would replace the vegan cream cheese with Philadelphia cheese or similar. Ingredients for four 500g of mixed and wild mushrooms 2 cloves garlic 1 shallot or small onion 100g of cooked peeled chestnuts (available in most supermarkets) 1 teaspoon of mixed spice 1 small bunch of parsley chopped finely 75g of vegan cream cheese Extra virgin olive oil Maldon salt and ground black pepper 100 ml of coconut soya yoghurt 2 teaspoons marmite 2 teaspoons honey
Microcresses to garnish or small rocket leaves Basil oil (optional) Walnut or seeded bread Method 1. Wash and roughly slice the mushrooms 2. Peel and chop the onion and garlic 3. Put all the above contents in a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with Mal don salt 4. Roast in a preheated oven for approx 10 minutes or until mushrooms are soft 5. Blend in your food processor with the chestnuts and now add the cream cheese a little at a time until you have a nice thick VEGETARIAN PATE: Garnish with cresses and dressing.
consistency 6. Mix well using a spatula and add the spices and parsley 7. Scrape out the mixture and refrigerate for at least one hour. For the salsa and to serve 1. Very simply mix the honey and marmite to gether and add the coconut yoghurt a little at a time until you have the desired consistency which should be smooth and as thick as double cream. 2. To serve, quenelle the pate (rugby ball shape) with two spoons and garnish with the cresses and spoon the marmite dressing onto the plate artistically. 3. Toast thin slices of walnut bread and serve on the side.

The BMW M5 engine is so quiet that fake engine noises are played through the speakers in order to remind buyers of their cars’ performance levels.
M Performance parts THANKS to its combination of ex pressive design and outstanding brandtypical driving dynamics, the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe (fu el consumption combined: 7.1 4.2 l/100 km, CO2 emissions com bined: 162110 g/km*) has every thing it takes to continue the sev enyear success story of the BMW Gran Coupe in the compact seg ment too. In order to accentuate its athletic character even more and tailor the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe to the needs and require ments of motorsportenthusiastic customers, BMW also offers a wide range of M Performance Parts from the date of launch in November 2019. Developed by BMW M Gmbh ex perts with their many years of mo torsport expertise and countless victories on the world’s race tracks, these components meet the high est requirements with regard to performance, production quality
and design. The M Performance Parts are not only visually attrac tive, but also integral elements of the lightweight construction con cept. All components are perfectly matched to the specific character to the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. A number of individual options enable the customer to enhance the exterior of the new BMW 2 Se ries Gran Coupe to give it even more dynamic looks. The M rear spoiler in highgloss black not only adds an attractive touch of visual flair, but also optimises the air stream around the car and positive ly affects driving behaviour thanks to reducing lift. The highgloss black meshstyle M front ornamental grille gives the front a highly dynamic look. The Carbon M Performance exterior mirror caps add both discreet yet distinctive details to the side view of the car. Like all carbon fibre com ponents they are handcrafted,
sealed with a clear finish and given a highgloss polish for an impressive depth effect. The interior of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe can also be up graded with various M Performance Parts. The most distinctive visual detail is the M Performance steer ing wheel. Its extremely highgrip al cantara handling area features large thumbrests and special underlining. Not only insiders know that it is n’t engine power alone that leads to success, but above all braking performance. And since this insight from motor racing can also be ap plied to road use, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe may also be equipped with an M Performance brake sys
tem fea turing highly distinctive red brake saddles. The 18inch M Perfor mance YSpoke Styling 554 M forged wheels and the 19 inch M Performance Double Spoke Styling 555 M complete wheel sets emphasise the sporty character of the BMW 2 Series Grand Coupe. In Jet Black matt they add yet another athletic touch to the car’s sporty visual appeal.
CUSTOMISE: Numerous ways for customising exterior, interior and more.
The All-new Renault Captur AS a pioneer on the urban SUV market, the Captur has sold 1.5 million vehicles in more than 90 countries since its launch in 2013. It rapidly became the best seller in its segment, both in France and in Europe. On a market that has be
100% NEW: Renault Captur.
come extremely competitive, the Allnew Captur has rein vented itself by reinforcing the identity which brought its success. It has transformed it self, now displaying updated SUV contours that are both athletic and dynamic. Still just as modular, it has become even more welcom
ing due to an interior revolu tion within that allows it to enter a new dimension of technology and quality. As the front runner on the urban SUV market, the Captur has always been able to play the versatility card, including in its onroad behaviour. An asset that is only reinforced in the Allnew Captur, a model that maintains a reassuring
posture on every type of road whilst improving every tangi ble aspect: steering, suspen sion, chassis, etc. This has been achieved by using all of the innovations that the Al liance has brought to the new modular CMFB platform, plus a specific development. The Allnew Captur can boast a high degree of comfort for all occupants, yet at the same time it has raised the bar for dynamic driving. The Allnew Captur uses the modular CMFB platform first seen on the Allnew
Clio, so it provides a similar level of driving pleasure, whilst specific tuning gives each model its very own per sonality. Versatility remains the watchword, so the All new Captur is as at home in town, where the need is for smoothness, as it is on every type of road, where the driver demands a touch of dy namism. So, the engineering teams that developed the chassis looked at every parameter to ensure that the Allnew Cap tur has an overall balance that never dulls the feelings of re sponsiveness and security, es pecially when it is fitted with the TCe 155 EDC FAP engine. Its reassuring roadholding is maintained by rear axle guidance that offers greater stability when taking bends at a steady speed. Lateral move ment is restricted even on the harshest roads, and comfort has been improved with a special development of the shock absorbers. The efficien cy of the chassis is supple
mented by the more precise, more direct steering. The vehicle’s agility is fur ther increased by 10 per cent reductions in the steering ra tio around the zero point and in the turning circle, which is now down to 11 metres kerb to kerb. Use of the new modular CMFB platform has also al lowed better sound insulation of the passenger compart ment. A special effort has gone into various components to boost acoustic comfort for the occupants: a reinforced body structure, the use of new insulation materials, ex tra insulation in the engine compartment, a full subframe fairing to improve the floor’s insulation performance, the application of new design rules for some seals, the addi tion of an acoustic film to the windscreen, a twin seal sys tem for the doors, etc. Lastly, the sound level in the passenger compartment has been reduced to 2 dB at between 0 and 80 mph.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher TOYOTA’S Aygo is one of the few stand-out models in the city car class thanks to more charismatic styling and underpinned by the brand’s solid reputation for durability. The latest Aygo comes in three and five-door

Toyota Aygo X-Trend form and several trim levels but only one engine - a busy little one-litre petrol unit pushing out a respectable 71 hp which is enough to get the car around urban areas with agility and cruise quite comfortably on motorways. Top speed is 160
kph (99 mph), the 0-100 kph time 13.8 seconds and average fuel economy 19.4 kpl (55 mpg), with low emissions of 93 g/km. Toyota’s X-design architecture gives the Aygo a sporty and rather funky look and such styling is an important sales factor in a city-car sector
where a distinctive image is hard to find. In the cabin, the layout is clear and simple with a central touch-screen and steering-wheel-mounted controls taking care of the the essentials. The seating is more supportive than in most rivals - which include the Citroen C1, Hyundai i10 and VW Up! - and most will find an ideal driving position thanks to a multi-adjustable steering column.
Visibility in the Aygo is very good and the cabin can take four adults without anyone being too cramped. Boot space is 168 litres, adequate for most people, though not the largest in the class. Aygo prices start at €11,025 (£9,825) though the upper range X-trim versions are more popular as they are better equipped - my five-door XTrend test model had a price tag of €14,828 (£13,215). For that you get a raft of features which include alloy wheels, integrated rear spoiler, projector headlights, rear priva-
cy glass, touch-screen multimedia centre with digital radio, Bluetooth and smartphone mirroring. Safety kit incudes pre-collision system, front, side and curtain airbags, lane departure alert, hill-start assist and a speed limiter. Most city cars are not too quick off the mark and the Aygo is no exception, yet it does feel nimble and has responsive steering and a supple ride quality, so it is a pleasant little car to drive and its stand-out styling helps gives it extra appeal in its sector.

It was good work by ref Nic Berry to spot a French elbow on Wainwright and Va haamahina was the guilty party. The replays looked nasty, it was red all day long horrible piece of filthy play. France deservedly went down to 14 men for the last 30 minutes. Wales started playing with urgency and that was testing French discipline when Wales won a penalty, Biggar went for the posts and scored bringing the game back to 1319.

France looked to have shut up shop and Wales had just 12 minutes to pull something out of the locker but the game was being sti fled by the burly 14 French man. Complete drama in the 75th minute Moriarty went over, but had he scored? It looked like it after the French scrum was splin tered, but did Tomos Williams knockon? Two minutes of TMO re plays and the ref blew for the score! Biggar slammed the conversion and Wales took the lead 2019 with just five minutes to play out. Three minutes between Wales and a World Cup se mifinal and Wales milked a scrum, two minutes and then one minute. They did and Wales were through in an astonishing comeback!

England destroy Australia REECE HODGE got the game underway and Daly gave Vunipola his first carry before the ball was booted back to Australia. Slade’s first contribution was to have the ball bumped off him in the tackle, Beale re ceived it and went through the gap and ran 60 metres up to the England 22, but he got so far that there was no support with him. Not that it mattered as Eng land had given a penalty away that Christian Lealiifano lined up, and the Wallaby 10 slotted 03 Australia to take the lead of the game. Quarter of an hour in, Eng land got the ball out and ran a nice pattern outright to Watson who nearly got away but was scragged, it went all the way left and England were laying siege to the line before Pocock and Hooper got in and nicked it at the breakdown, England got the ball back and there was more fast soft hands right to Watson, it was recycled and went all the way left, with some clever dummy runs in midfield and past the Aussie defensive line and May went in right in the left corner for the try, Farrell slotted a great kick from the touchline for England to take the lead 37. Just two minutes later Genia threw an interception to Slade and he was away, but he didn’t have the pace to get there from 70 metres so he dinked a beau

tiful kick on the run for May to gather and he definitely had the pace to get in scoring an other English try! Farrell kicked another one from out left suc cessfully to further the lead 14 3. Shortly after the Wallabies grabbed from the lineout and sent their midfield runners at the England line, Izack Rodda punched a bit of a hole through and when it was recycled Jamie George was pinged for offside and Christian Lealiifano has the simplest of kicks for the penalty 146. Tuilagi got some momentum on a carry and Christian Leali
ifano gave away a kickable penalty on 29 mins for not rolling away. Owen Farrell stroked it over to increase the lead to 176 to England. Australia had a scrum in the England 22 on 39 minutes a re set scrum brought the Aussies a penalty. Christian Lealiifano lined it up and smacked the penalty to make it a half time score of 179. Farrell got the second half underway but England soon saw their lead dwindle, Daly dropped a straightforward catch, and Australia went back on the attack. Slade pushed up too far in defence and the ball
was floated over him and popped to Koroibete on the in side drift on halfway and he was through and took Daly to the cleaners by standing him up and going around him to score. It wasn’t a great few minutes for the England full back. The conversion was added and the game very much on as it went 1716. England refired up, Watson made some headway up the right and when the ball was re cycled left Sinckler ran and was through and in from 15 metres. He even deliberately ran at Beale to bump him, just to make some sort of point. Farrell
Aussies throw and thwarted the catch and drive, but the Wallabies still had it and were working phases in the England 22 with Toomua or chestrating. Australia got another penalty too as Underhill went off his feet in the 22 and they took the scrum in the shadow of the posts, but after a few changes to the line England stole the ball back with tremendous de fending, it was a massive mo ment in the game. Farrell pointed at the sticks with a penalty on 68 minutes and smashed it over to make it 3016. More points came for Eng land with another 10 scored just before the final whistle. Make no mistake, this was a complete pasting of the Aussies!
Hurri Kane THERE is one Premier League manager feeling a little more re laxed as Mauricio Pochettino watched his Tottenham Hotspur team beat Red Star Belgrade at home 5 0. Spurs have had what can only be described as a terrible start to their season and whilst not relegation candidates, certainly have disappointed their legion of fans with their performances in both the Premier and UEFA Champions League. With three losses and three draws they lie in seventh place in the Premier League and second in the Champions League, six points behind leaders Bayern Munich. On Tuesday night it was stalwarts Harry Kane and Som HuengMin who won the match with two goals apiece with Erik Lamela scoring one and supplying two scoring passes. Most clubs undergo a down turn during the season and per haps Spurs have experienced theirs early. Pep Guardiola saw his Manchester City side cruise to a 51 win over Italian side Atalanta, also at home, with a brace for Sergio Aguiro and a clinical 11minute second half hat trick from Raheem Sterling. The light blues lead their Champions League table with nine points from three matches but were shown to be defensively vulnerable although to lose one goal but score five isn’t cur rently a problem. Youngster Phil Foden was sent off but Guardiola put it down to just part of the learning curve.
