SMUGGLERS SMASHED by Dilip Kuner GUARDIA CIVIL and the Royal Gibraltar Police have smashed a drugs smuggling network in a joint operation. Thirty-eight people - including nine Brits - have been arrested and 3,600 kilos of hashish seized in the latest phas e o f t h e o p e r a t i o n . Te n b o ats , three jet skis and numerous bank accounts were also confiscated. The operation took place in Cadiz, Malaga and the Rock and was against what has been called “a powerful criminal organisation dedicated to drug trafficking.” Investigators detected late last year that a g a n g wa s sm u g g lin g larg e amounts of hashish and then laundering the proceeds. In the first phase of Operation Helix 3,500 kilos of hashish was seized and 29 Spaniards were arrested in the Campo de Gibraltar and Malaga. In addition, 16 searches were carried out in warehouses and homes in the Campo de Gi b r a l t a r r e g i o n an d in th e province of Malaga. Nineteen vehicles, three of them stolen, seven boats and €380,000 cash were seized. Police also identified several Gibraltarian citizens who were allegedly part of the same network, including the ring leader. Close cooperation was established between Guardia Civil and the Royal Gibraltar Police, through its Financial Crimes and Money Laundering Unit. This body initiated its own investigation called Halogen which worked

A helping hand MARBELLA wants to give its British residents a leg up with Brexit. The town hall will hold conferences about topics of interest surrounding Brexit for the international community, in the hope they are informative and can give some useful insights. The first conference is on November 12 at 5pm, at the Marbella Congress and Convention Palace. This new concept was devised by the municipal delegation for foreigners. Councillor Remedios Bocanegra, has explained the event will take place in English. She highlights the importance of the meeting, not only for British nationals but for Europeans and the international community as whole. The councillor placed the number of British residents in Marbella at 4,000, with 600 having registered in the last few months. The conference goes by the name ‘Dealing with Brexit’ and many experts will be present to impart their knowledge. British consul for Andalusia - Charmain Arbouin - will also attend.

ICONIC: La Farola stands tall above the seafront.
Safeguarding an icon MALAGA wants to give La Farola maximum cultural protection, as the building is the visual icon for the capital of the Costa del Sol. M a l a g a ’s c o u n c i l h a s agreed to apply for the declaration of La Farola as Patrimony of Cultural Interest. Other entities that endorse the deci-
sion are Malaga University, the College of Architects and Icomos. Two lines of action have been opened to begin the process: one by university professors and another by the town hall. Both propositions confirm the social and institutional support that exists to protect the historic construction. In 2017, the waterfront building
marked its 200th anniversary since it was erected. Malaga University has already reached out and gained direct backing from the National Council for International Monuments and Places, the Andalucian Territorial Delegation and many academies and colleges. The motion has gained unanimous support and will proceed as a positive initiative for Malaga.
COUNSELLOR for Culture and Sports, Noelia Losada, presented a motion to the Committee on Social Rights and Culture, showing unanimous support to request more money from the Junta de Andalucia for the city’s Film Festival. The agreement reached asks the Ministry of Culture and Historical Heritage to consider the possibility of increasing the funds allocated to the festival in the 2020 budget. The recent signing between the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the city of Malaga to celebrate the 34th edition of the Goya Gala on January 25 confirms just how important the Film Festival is, not only for the city’s culture but on a national level. Since launching in 1998, the Festival has worked to promote Spanish cinema both inside and outside the country. The previous edition of the festival saw the hiring of 150 companies, created 127 jobs and 25 local collaborators. A total of direct expenses in Malaga was close to €1.6 million which indicated a socio-economic development for the city of almost 90 per cent of what was contributed by the city council.

Ángeles Muñoz, the mayor, visited the location on Tuesday and said that the work, which will last eight months, will focus on adapting the current facilities to follow safety and security regulations and accessibility as there had been no previous investment in these for a long time. The work will also include reparations of damage to the roof, the shelter and painting of the barriers. The bathrooms will be adapted for people with reduced mobility and a new electrical system will be installed as well as fire protection and a lighting system to be provided for emergencies.

Tecnicas Gades SL with a budget of €36,295. Once this phase is concluded, the execution of the works will be tendered, which will consist of
repaving and installing new street furniture, as well as the rearrangement of spaces to remove architectural barriers. Planting of gardens and trees will also be done, as well as the comprehensive renovation of the sewage network, water supply, street lighting and natural gas distribution. The works will be co-financed with the operational programme of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), with the town council contributing 20 per cent of the cost of the project. So far more than €10 million has been spent on remodelling Estepona’s streets.

Sailboats take over MALAGA docks have become the new hotspot for big sailing boats, with five already making an appearance in the month of October. Although cruises bring in hordes of tourists and energy to the Malaga Port, the sailboats have started to gain some attention. The boats are large and imposing in size and bring a special kind of elegance to the port. October has seen the number of sailing yachts shoot up, as more choose Malaga as their preferred docks. French sailboat Marité glided in at the end of September, gracing the waterfront with its presence until the first week of the month. Their brief stays in Malaga mean a perfect time for any small repairs that may be needed and provisions are stocked up. Passengers and crew aboard these spectacular boats leave the waves behind and walk on steady land for a while. Some sailboats have a varied programme filled with cultural excursions, and they can generate a lot of activity for neighbouring Malaga businesses. A big number of these ships come from the north of Europe where they are based. For them, Malaga is a great point to start autumn and winter routes and travel to warmer seas. In October, the fleet has been made up of polish sailboats Fryderyk Chopin and Pogoria, Norwegian Christian Radich, Swedish Alva and the Dutch ship Gulden Leeuw. Some of them carry decades of history at sea and are opening an interesting new opportunity for Malaga’s beloved port.

Attempted murder charges TWO footballers face 12 years jail for the attempted murder of a rival team’s captain after a match. Captain of Alhaurin de la Torre, Samuel Galán, was left in a critical condition after suffering a stab to the heart following a match against El Palo (Malaga). Violence flared after the ill-tempered match on March 20, 2016, according to a prosecutor’s report which will be presented to a court. Alhaurin were playing away against El Palo’s B team in the Third regional division when a running dispute started between the victim and El Palo’s captain, SAG. The prosecutor said that throughout the match SAG had a ‘disproportionate atti-
tude of aggressiveness’ towards Samuel, even threatening him with death several times. After being substituted he sat in the stands with the second defendant. MS was also a player for El Palo, but had not been in the team that day. The prosecutor alleges that it was then that the two defendants agreed ‘to kill Samuel when the game ended.’ When the final whistle of the match blew - El Palo won - SAG was invited onto the pitch to celebrate his team’s victory. He approached Samuel from behind, grabbed him in a choke hold and threw him to the ground. MS then stabbed Samuel twice in the chest as he lay immobile on the pitch.

Fugitive for 24H
STAGED: Delivery dope.
Fast food faker NATIONAL POLICE have arrested a 33year-old fast food deliver yman in Estepona after he allegedly staged his own violent robbery allowing him to keep the money he had
collected. On October 14 it was reported that a fast food worker had been the victim of a robbery by individuals who had threatened him with a sharp object and made off with his money. After further investigation,
officers discovered that the alleged victim had in fact faked the robbery to keep money from the deliveries he had made that day. The man was later charged and released and a police report has been referred to the court of Estepona.
NATIONAL POLICE located and detained Luxembourg’s most wanted fugitive. The arrestee was listed as one of Europe’s Most Wanted after taking part in an attempted robbery at a security company during which explosives were used and Luxembourg police officers were shot at up to 80 times. Police from Belgium and Luxembourg contacted National Police with information the suspect was possibly on the Costa del Sol. Police discovered that it was his birthday and he could be celebrating in Marbella. A few hours later, officers located the man at a club in Puerto Banus with French documentation and using a different name. The suspect could face up to 22 years in prison after being charged with a murder attempt, firearm trafficking and robbery.

Drugs gang dismantled ONE of the biggest hashish smuggling networks in Spain has been busted. National Police have arrested 27 people, seized 550 kilos of hashish, €100,000 in cash, one real pistol and a simulated one, 3,000 litres of petrol for boats, 12 cars, two motorcycles and equipment used to purify and pack drugs. The narcotic was cultivated in Morocco and once smuggled to Spain it was distributed throughout the country. Police say the gang was very organised and had “extreme secu-
rity measures.” Although the nucleus of the organisation has been dismantled, the investigation continues open as police try to trace its major buyers as well as clients who were in turn retail sellers. The investigation began in May last year when information unearthed by the police pointed to the existence of a drug trafficking network. This organisation began its criminal activity in Morocco where they cultivated and processed the drug to immediately transport it to Spain through the Strait of Gibraltar. Once here it was stored in dif-
ferent locations, known in police jargon as ‘kindergartens,’ on the Costa del Sol. Later the merchandise was transferred to Madrid in vehicles with hidden storage compartments. There it was stored in two houses located in the towns of Pozuelo de Alarcon and Manzanares el Real and then distributed to different parts of Spain. Once investigators had all the data about the infrastructure of the group, 16 searches were carried out in homes throughout Spain. The main ones being at two houses in the community of Madrid and one in Malaga Province.

RECREATIONAL SPACES: New entertainment.
Marbella marinas MARBELLA City Council has announced plans to build three new recreational marinas along 27 kilometres of coastline with the aim of creating new leisure and tourist spaces on the city’s beaches. A budget of €250,000 has been allocated for the project which will be carried out as a collaboration of the Costas. The marinas will allow for new entertainment elements to liven up the beaches and it is hoped that they will also be able to accommodate small boats
during the day. The initiative will also include the extension of the coastal path between La Bajadilla and Rio Real. Though this is primarily a project by the Costas, private investment has not been ruled out and the mayor, Ángeles Muñoz has already held a meeting with beach entrepreneurs. She was also keen to point out that the idea would be a pioneering move for the coast as for the first time there will be a budget specifically aimed at improving the beaches.

There are escape clauses which would allow an earlier exit if Parliament approves the deal put to the EU which has been accepted in principle, but not agreed in fact. Now that it seems very likely that there will be a general election in December, any exit before then becomes increasingly unlikely. The Prime Minister has blamed Parliament for allowing the extension to occur, but as they passed a vote demanding it, MPs were probably not too surprised to be held liable.

‘Malicious campaign in the media’ Thank you for believing in us DEAR Triple A Members and Friends As you are aware, in 2016 legal proceedings were initiated against some members of the Triple A Association. Despite this, and with great determination, we have not stopped working and helping the animals for a single day. We have welcomed and cared for all the animals that both Seprona and Marbella’s Department of Health have placed at our facilities, there have been many over these years. The interpretation by the press of the Court Order gives the impression that the conclu-
sion is negative, but this is very far from the truth. What began as something exaggerated and magnified out of all proportion and supported by a malicious campaign in the media, supposedly orchestrated intentionally years before as if we were terrorists, now begins to lose strength and credibility: In the COURT ORDER (note it is not a JUDGEMENT because there has been no trial, so is provisional and not yet final) which is being spread and referred to in the press, some of the alleged crimes initially investigated have been dismissed. Furthermore, most of the people initially under investigation are no longer so, because the case against them has also been dismissed.
This is very positive and, indeed, a breakthrough for both the association and our colleagues, as well as for the animals we protect every day. The unjust campaign of harassment, slander and public
contempt to which Triple A has been subjected, based on halftruths and alleged facts, must be proven in the course of a judicial proceeding. This will not prevent us from continuing to work for the well-being of our
best friends, the animals. We will continue to fight through social media and our daily work to show society that the authors of this dishonourable campaign, who are acting out of self-interest, are wrong. Likewise, we will do our utmost to prove to the Court that the facts are not true and the persons investigated are innocent. We do not want to be drawn into the malicious game of slander on social media, rather we would just declare that we have faith and belief in Justice and we assert our Fundamental Right to the PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE. The accusations must be proven, and as long as the contrary is not proven, we maintain our innocence and feel
as innocent as we did on the very first day the investigation began. We understand the outrage of those who do not know the reality of the facts, those who do not know our work, in short, those who do not know the Triple A Association. Even more so, we understand the indignation of those who do know us, as that indignation is ours. For this reason, we request the support and trust of those who really know us and the work carried out by the employees and volunteers of the Triple A family in Marbella for the last 28 years.
Lily van Tongeren Triple A team
Triple A barks back at local press reports THE rescue centre has been forced to defend itself against a ‘malicious campaign in the media’ - one which Euro Weekly
refused to be a part of. Triple A Association - the established and well-regarded rescue dogs’ home in San Pedro,
Marbella - has rescued and rehomed thousands of dogs over the years. But at the weekend, the team were horrified to see
their name slaughtered by certain less established members of the Costa Del Sol press. “It was with a sense of horror and shock that we read these allegations by another newspaper concerning the Triple A animal charity in Marbella,” they told EWN, adding: “We felt that there should be two sides to a story on the Triple A Animal Charity allegations especially after the above publication recently printed and admitted how they provoke a dramatic headline.” EWN has been writing about the organisation for several years and as we are aware that Marbella Council has just increased its funding, we thought it appropriate to speak to Triple A in order to find out exactly what they say has happened, despite the media attack. A senior spokesperson who has never been subject to investigation explained what has occurred. In 2016, the organisation was subject to an investigation that has continued for the past three years. Now the investigating judge has indicated that there may be a case to answer in respect of some of the alleged offences and has also confirmed that a number of accusations have been dismissed. The investigating judge said therefore that the investigation should continue and charges may or may not be laid once the
investigation is complete.

Véronique Ladangh posted on their Facebook page: ‘Absurd!!!! I have been there several times. These shelters are in need of help so stop putting the blame on them, those who drop their dogs are the murderers.’ Andrea Black wrote: ‘All those accusations are contradictory and don’t even make sense. I know why I don’t read trash papers…’ Dione Lockyear posted: ‘One, I can’t believe this has even been printed. Two, I can’t believe how quickly people believe such news without researching themselves.’ Talia Giraudo wasn’t impressed at all and felt the need to post. ‘Shame on (said newspaper) for publishing a badly translated article like this without
checking facts, or doing a minimum of investigation. Seriously letting down your readers…’ Meanwhile, other posters called for a boycott of the newspaper concerned and Facebook following. At EWN we remain unbiased and just report the factual news knowing often there are two sides to a story and there clearly seems to be a case of a sensational headline following the guidance of the public who know the dog rescue home in question.

Leisure liars NATIONAL POLICE have arrested five people in Granada in connection with an alleged fraud against the Treasury and Social Security. It is said the criminals, aged between 25 and 59, signed false labour contracts as a means of receiving subsidies and contributory pensions for an amount exceeding €100,000. Reports state that fake work contracts were issued naming the accused parties as employees of a leisure company with a
registered office in Granada. They then managed to arrange the use of the access codes necessary to set up Social Security details through the help of another accomplice. The police investigation began following a complaint by the Fiscal Ministry after a report from the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate of Granada.

Hanging on to pesetas SPANIARDS are hanging on to millions of pesetas. The latest figures from the Banco de España reveal that nearly 18 years after the introduction of the euro the Spanish still have some 268,200 million pesetas, equivalent to €1,612.58 million. More than 136,600 million of the pesetas are in notes and nearly 131,800
million are in coins. When the euro first came into circulation on January 1, 2002 the Spanish government set a three-month period for the new and old currencies to co-exist. This was followed by a further three months when it was possible to exchange pesetas for euros at banks. Since July 2002 it has been necessary to go to the Banco de España to cash pe-
setas in for euros. However, after December 31, 2020 the bank will no longer change the old currency for the euro. The Banco de España believes many of the pesetas still out there will never be handed in, in many cases because people have kept them as mementos, they have got lost or because they have ended up going home with tourists.
A million millionaires THE number of Spanish millionaires has risen nearly five-fold in less than a decade and today stands at just short of a million There are 979,000 Spaniards meeting the requirements for inclusion in this exclusive category, according to the Credit Suisse Research Institute Global Wealth Report 2019.
This is 33,000 up on 2018 and represents a 470 per cent increase since 2010. The figures put Spain in 10th place in the world’s excessively wealthy rankings. What’s more, Credit Suisse predicts the number of Spanish millionaires will grow by 42 per cent over the next five years to 1,394,000. The report reveals that 91.7
per cent of Spain’s millionaires have less than €5 million and only 61 have fortunes exceeding €500 million. Nearly 46 per cent of Spaniards have between €100,000 and €1 million to their name, 34.5 per cent have between €10,000 and €100,000, and the remaining 16.9 per cent just €10,000 or less.

The Climate Central report published in the magazine Nature Communications identifies the areas of the country which they believe will be most vulnerable to periodic coastal flooding will
be Doñana and various parts of Huelva and Cadiz and the Ebro Delta. The scientists also predict that in the worst case scenario, if emissions of gases responsible for climate change are not reduced, the number of people in Spain who could be affected by episodes of coastal flooding by the end of the century could be as many as 340,000.

BREAK-INS BUST ARRESTS have been made of the alleged leaders of an organisation which concentrated on house break-ins on the Malaga coast. Eleven break-ins of homes in Marbella and Estepona have been linked to the gang, reportedly led by two men aged 24 and 43 and of Spanish and Algerian nationalities. According to sources, they allegedly set up a base in Benalmadena and travelled along the coast from Manilva to Nerja forcefully entering homes. The criminals are said to have worked intensively from nine in the morning to nine at night, Monday to Friday and used constantly changing rental vehicles. One of the criminals would concentrate on locks and managed to gain entry using such rudimentary tools as plastic cards. Another would then help him search and clear the house of valuable belongings whilst a third party would be in charge of lookout and driving the getaway car.
The investigation began last April following allegations of s e v e r a l b u rg l a r i e s a t h o l i d a y rentals in Elviria. It has been said the criminals posed as tourists with swimwear and towels allowing them to pass unnoticed. On July 23 another break-in took place in Estepona where the perpetrators managed to steal a built-in safe and remove it from the complex in a suitcase so as not to raise suspicion. They escaped with watches and jewellery that amounted to around €137,000. After further investigation, officers came to the conclusion that these break-ins were committed by a single criminal group and managed to identify certain members of the network. They then were able to locate and detain the two alleged leaders and recovered numerous effects from these thefts and others along with clothing used during the crimes. A third man is still at large.
GIVEN THE SLIP: Holiday rentals broken into.
Fight against CO2 ESTEPONA will create an energy saving plan to lower CO2 emissions. Just four municipal facilities are releasing 100 tonnes of contaminating gases each year.
José María García Urbano, mayor of Estepona, has explained the importance of the new initiative. The environmental project will focus on cutting down energy usage at
Padre Manuel cultural centre, Francisco Muñoz Pérez football pitch and El Carmen and Las Viñas sports centres. Estimates of the project place energy saving at over 210,000 watts per year. This will also mean electricity bills could be reduced up to €21,000 annually. Necessary reforms will include redesigning the energy infrastructure to be more efficient in the four buildings. The building work will need an investment of over €166,000. The boiler and air conditioning equipment will be replaced at the football pitch and more efficient spotlights will be used. At the sport centres, solar panels will be installed and all lamps will be changed out. This green project will be partly financed by the European fund for regional development. The drafting of the energy saving plan has been awarded to the business Valdemar for a total of €20,751. Once the plan is in place, building will start in 2020.

Members from different associations like Marbella Activa, FFF Marbella, Generación Verde and political representatives from PSO, IU and Unidas Podemos all attended the event. Another important task was doing the oak tree census. A mobile application was used to pinpoint each tree’s exact coordinates, which are then uploaded to Google Earth. This innovating way to do the census is a great way to protect the evergreen oaks and avoid any doubts.

Mum jailed for child pics by Dilip Kuner A SWEDISH woman has been jailed for making sex videos of her daughters aged eight and 14 to sell on the internet. The 35-year-old mother was sentenced to six years by a Swedish court after being arrested by Guardia Civil in Benalmadena. An investigation started when Swedish police discovered that several women were using children from their family environment to produce paedophile material for sale. Two women - who have since been jailed - were arrested in Sweden because of their connection to the events. But the third woman fled the country with four of her five children, leading to an international hunt for the family. Operation ‘Kasino’ was set in motion, and investigators tracked the family first to Malta and from there to Spain. Swedish authorities contacted Europol and asked the Guardia Civil for help in locating them. They also warned of the existence of paedophile material featuring at least two of her children.
ABUSER: Swedish mother made sex videos of her own children.
Guardia Civil officers found she had registered in Spain with a false address. By analysing images that one of her daughters had uploaded to social networks, police traced them to a property in Mijas, but by then the family had moved. They also discovered other homes where they lived for a short time, until finally the investigation led officers to
Benalmadena. A European arrest warrant was issued against the woman and an investigation warrant was issued to search the home. Within a few days, the suspect was arrested. Three daughters aged 14, eight and five and one son aged 13 lived with her. Evidence found in a house search proved that the woman had sexually
abused two of her daughters. Her children were initially taken into the care of Spanish social services, before being found foster homes in Sweden. The woman was extradited to her home country. Meanwhile, investigators identified three men guilty of buying the videos, who have also been jailed.

FRAUD: Identity theft uncovered.
Mobile phonies THREE Spanish nationals aged between 39 and 53 have been arrested for the alleged crimes of fraud, identity theft and document falsification. Two of the arrested are employees of a mobile phone shop in Fuengirola. An investigation began at the end of July when a citizen filed a complaint after discovering several contracts had been registered in his name. Included in these were contracts for telephone line rental and mobile phone contracts to which he had no knowledge and so had not signed.
After months of investigations, officers concluded that the crimes indicated four individuals, two of whom were employees of the store where the paperwork originated from. Three of the alleged fraudsters were then located and detained, while a fourth was identified but still pending arrest. According to inquiries, the detainees are reported to have used the identity of other people to set up mobile phone and tablet contracts from an official distributor of a mobile phone company in the town. The devices, obtained fraudulently, were then sold
as second-hand items through a web page for anything up to €925 per item. Over a fortnight, the highend handsets are said to have netted them around €15,000. The victims that had been targeted were always foreigners, the majority of whom were old aged and without a fixed address in Spain. Fake bank account details were then used to fool the system when processing the contract. Therefore, as it was not the bank account details of the named person in the contract it would also be harder to trace.
Jailed for killing boss A MAN aged 37 has been jailed for eight years for killing his boss. Malaga Provincial Court heard that the two men had gone out for dinner in Coin after work and drank a large amount of alcohol and took cocaine. All started well, but when they moved on to a bar their conversation turned into an argument and then a fight in which they both assaulted each other. The situation became so tense that the killer decided to leave, but he returned about 15 minutes later. The condemned man found his boss next to a railing. The argument restarted and a fight ensued. At one point the convicted man lifted the victim’s legs and threw him over the railing. The fall caused the death of the man. Police later arrested the convicted at a petrol station in Alozaina.
Organ donation Living in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. As of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘opt-out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of potential donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures - ONT). According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home. It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation. Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years. Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas transplants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent). According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day. In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid-2020 goal. In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs increased to 74, from 48 a year earlier. Lung and heart are viable for 4-6 hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and ligaments can also be donated. A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

All Saints Day Halloween celebrations on October 31 are a big date in our calendars. Some Halloween fans go all out with extravagant parties and elaborate costumes during the scariest time of year. But many people don’t know the history behind the origins of this spooky day. ON November 1, Spain traditionally celebrates Todos los Santos or All Saints Day. This custom began with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. During the festival, villagers welcomed the harvest and the start of ‘the dark half of the year.’ The celebrants believed that barriers between the physical and spirit world would break down during Samhain. To protect themselves from evil, bonfires were lit and offerings were left outside villages for the spirits. Celts would dress as monsters in the hope that evil fairies and witches were not tempted to kidnap them. As Christianity gained force, in the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honour all saints. With this change, the church hoped to end pagan traditions. The new celebration was in honour of the dead who had completely sanctified themselves and would enjoy eternal life in the presence of God. The evening before All Saints Day was known as All Hallows Eve, a night to remember souls lost to evil. In Spain, Todos los Santos is a national bank holiday that commemorates those

who are no longer with us. Spanish families mark the occasion by visiting the cemetery and taking flowers to their deceased loved ones. The gravestones or wall niches are cleaned in an act of honour and respect. As time has gone on, North American influences have infiltrated the Christian celebration. Spanish youngsters organise Halloween parties and children go door to door.
Even supermarkets have welcomed the change and stock sweets for Trick or Treaters and pumpkins ready for carving Jack O’ Lanterns. Spanish society has accepted the new traditions but elders reiterate the importance of maintaining All Saints Day. Some communities have even come up with creative initiatives to teach children about the custom that began many centuries ago.

Expat resident numbers rise in Malaga THE number of British Nationals choosing to make the Costa del Sol their home has risen to a six-year high according to new figures from the National Statistics Institute (INE - Instituto Nacional de Estadística). As of September 2019, the Malaga Province has a total of 47,193 nationals officially registered as a resident. This figure represents an increase of over 1,000 since the end of 2018. These figures represent the first time the number of expat residents has risen in six years following a period of decline in the region. The previous record figure was set in 2013 when a total of 76,931 British residents were registered on their town’s pardon, this coming at the height of the property boom and when the British Pound was at it’s strongest. Since then, the Euro strength has fallen and the prices of properties on the Costa have risen, leading to a steady annual decrease in registrations. Since 2016, and the UK Brexit referendum, numbers decline
even more with political uncertainty and a further falling pound leading to many Brits being cautious and returning to the UK. The uncertainty however has had a reverse effect this year, with many who are currently residing in Spain choosing to make their stay official and ensuring their paperwork is up to date. The highest increase in British population is in Mijas. Currently nearly 10 per cent of Mijas’ population are British and a whopping 324 residents have joined on the Mijas padron in two months. Council sources say they hope a large part of the unregistered, floating population will join the census over the next few days or weeks when the outcome of Brexit becomes clearer. “We continue to work very closely with associations of British residents and with the consulate to try to respond to the uncertainty that British residents in Mijas are suffering,” said Josele González, the mayor of Mijas.

Gang linked to 150 break-ins THE Guardia Civil has broken up a gang held responsible for more than 150 break-ins in 13 provinces. According to the Guardia the criminal organisation specialised in hits on council buildings, municipal sports centres, schools and pharmacies. While the group was based in Castellon, it has also been connected with robberies in Te r u e l , A s t u r i a s , H u e s c a , Zaragoza, Guadalajara, Cuenca, Leon, Valencia, Ciudad Real, Albacete, Burgos and Alicante. The operation dubbed ‘ZigZag’ resulted in eight ar-
rests. A further two individuals are under investigation. The Guardia said when they detained the gang members they were preparing break-ins in Visiedo and Argente in Teruel. The operation involved raids on a number of properties in Castellon city, during which officers seized numerous stolen items. The Guardia explained the gang sold the stolen merchandise on the black market, via instant messaging and even on buy and sell websites, with members exclusively dedicated to this side of their criminal activities.
They also said the gang used two established routes to commit the crimes, one going through inland provinces and one going along the Mediterranean. They kept to relatively unused roads and travelled at night. To commit the robberies they would hide their vehicle about two kilometres from the target location, travelling the rest of the way on foot and then breaking in by forcing doors or windows. They wore caps, gloves and balaclavas to try and avoid being identified by the authorities.

BREXIT NOT A PROBLEM THE Costa del Sol is welcoming more British tourists then ever despite Brexit fears. Holidays in Spain and especially in Malaga Province seem to be sacred to the British as evidenced by the fact that between January and September 2.37 million travellers from Britain passed though Malaga’s airport - that is an increase of 2.5 per cent over the same period last year. Of that number, 817,340 British have stayed in hotels in Malaga Province in the period, a rise of 2.8 per cent, for a total of 4.1 million overnight stays, according to data provided on Monday by Costa del Sol Tourism. The hotels on the Costa del Sol account for 65 per cent of British travellers staying in Andalucia and 72 per cent of overnight stays. Many thousands more Britons stay in other regulated tourist establishments, such as apartments or campsites, in homes for tourist use and in their own homes. Francisco Salado, president of Costa del Sol Tourism, revealed that the average British tourist spends 8.4 days here and spends €100 a day. Favourite activities include trips to the beach, walking,

Three out of four British tourists say they will return and 99 per cent would recommend this destination to their family and friends. Representatives of Costa del Sol Tourism will take these figures to the World Travel Market (WTM) which will take place next week in London and which is one of the three largest European tourism fairs along with Fitur in Madrid and the ITB in Berlin.
“We are going to the WTM with more force than ever. Spain is the first destination for British tourists and we hope it will continue to be like this for many years,” said Salado. The organisation will have its own stand and will spend €300,000, which will include an advertising campaign inside the Excel pavilion where the fair is held and at Tube stations. “We’re going to play with the heart and with the generations to come year after year regardless of whether there’s Brexit or not.” The bankruptcy of the
British tour operator Thomas Cook has not had a major impact on the Costa del Sol as it was not a big player in this part of Spain. Salado said: “We hope that Brexit
will not affect us. We have had an umbilical cord between Britain and the Costa del Sol for generations and we will continue to be a competitive destination.”

Flamenco Festival CASH raised at the Third Ojen Charity Festival Edition in aid of Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice, held at the ‘Peña Flamenca’ of the village has been given to the charity. The act took place at Ojen’s town hall where the mayor, José Antonio Gómez, handed over a cheque for €6,847 to CUDECA’ s Fundraising Department
Representative, Vanesa Morales. The Third Ojen Charity Festival, the second held in aid of Cudeca, gathered around 20 artists from different music backgrounds who per formed for free at the September event. There was more than 12 hours of fun and leisure with a charitable aim. Equally im-
portantly, more than 15 local people had worked for several days to organise this event. The Festival, which intends to be an example of Ojen’s generosity, had the aim of raising awareness about the importance of Cudeca’s specialised and free care, as well as raising funds which will allow Cudeca to continue helping people with cancer and other advanced illnesses in the province of Málaga. To the funds raised at the Third Ojen Charity Festival from the charity bar, raffle and entrance tickets - has been added the contribution from ‘La Peña Flamenca La Churruca’ opening season bar proceeds. Cudeca said they would like to thank Ojen’s people for their solidarity and to all the people who have collaborated in a completely altruistic manner with their time and commitment, both artists and volunteers from Associations such as Mujeres Jazmin Association and San Dionisio Association. Without their commitment and the town hall’s organisation, this Festival would not have been possible.

Leaving a Mancomunidad
Community Law Corner
It is quite common for a community of owners located out of town to be part of a larger community called a Mancomunidad, especially when facilities are shared by more than one community. If so, individual owners in addition to paying community fees and rates to the town hall will also contribute fees to the Mancomunidad.
By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration
joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com
with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches
IN return the Mancomunidad will undertake the services normally performed by the town hall, road maintenance,
caring for communal garden and green areas, street lighting and cleaning, sewage pipes and so on. Every town’s municipal plan regulates how communities etc are maintained. In some cases when a new community is officially finished and is no longer the responsibility of the developer, the town hall will assume the responsibility for the general maintenance. In others, the owners will be responsible for the ‘urban conservation’ and will legally form what’s called an Entidad Urbanistica de Conservación (EUC), a Mancomunidad is similar to an EUC but functions slightly differently. Sometimes forming a Mancomunidad is necessary because; a developer failed to finish a residential development correctly and until it is finished, the town hall will not undertake the maintenance etc or if a legally constituted
EUC has not yet been formed or is not required. A Mancomunidad works as a community and so it follows most of the laws governing all communities throughout Spain, the Law of Horizontal Property. Meaning a yearly budget will be approved and then divided appropriately amongst the members and communities of the Mancomunidad. Payments to the Mancomunidad are made by the communities on behalf of individual owners and are allotted according to the statutes of the Mancomunidad or the individual coefficients approved by the town hall. Sometimes just like the UK and the EU, a community wants to leave a Mancomunidad. This could be for various reasons; they simply disagree with how things are done, some areas around the community have been adopt-
ed by the town hall so the Mancomunidad is no longer needed or they feel the fees paid do not reflect the services returned. Communities on the perimeter of a Mancomunidad often fall into this last category. Claiming they derived little use of the communal areas or gardens or a new development means access to their part of the Mancomunidad has changed and they no longer use the communal roads they are paying for. However just deciding to leave a Mancomunidad has consequences and obligations. If a community of owners simply stops paying their fees to their Mancomunidad, just like a non-paying owner on an urbanisation they can be taken to court. Unless the Mancomunidad unanimously approves consent, the only way to legally stop paying Mancomunidad
fees is to seek a court resolution stating the court considers the community no longer needs to be part of the Mancomunidad. However this rarely happens especially if the only reason given to leave is not to pay fees. The reason is simple, the Mancomunidad also has obligations to pay staff and suppliers etc based on the budget, so simply leaving without paying would not be fair. Again just like with owners on an urbanisation, each community representative within the Mancomunidad, usually the presidents, has a say in how things are run and budgeted for. They can express themselves at the Mancomunidad meetings where the majority of the members and their voting coefficients decide what’s what and how it will be done. So be warned, for communities to just cut off payments to the Mancomunidad without following proper procedure can result in court cases, forced payment of outstanding fees, plus court costs and legal fees.
Dog left to die

Illegal workers arrested NATIONAL and Local Police have arrested six people after a work inspection on two farms. More than 100 plots were investigated in the area of Azucarera - Intelhorce in Malaga. The objective was to check the legality of activities and their compliance with workplace regulations. Police identified 70 people, of which five were arrested for violation of the immigration law and another was detained for being in possession of a stolen motorbike. Officers from the Provincial Work Inspection and Social Security worked with police to uncover the fraud being committed. Two proceedings have been initiated after the absence of accounting books was noted. Three people were working without being registered in the Social Security and police recorded 41 infractions against the environment. The operation was started after two police officers came upon information of possible illegal activities taking place in the area of Azucarera road. Law enforcement believed various workers were involved in the purchase and sale of vehicles and administrative infractions. Land owners had rented out 109 plots, which in many cases were sublet to third parties who carried out undeclared activities. A further 173 vehicles and motorbikes were inspected, with two of them being officially sealed off.

MERCACENTRO: An iconic building in Fuengirola.
New Mercacentro IN May of this year, the Fuengirola Council opened a call for proposals to modernise the Mercacentro which is now showing its age. Thirteen proposals were submitted and last night (after this edition went to press), the winner was revealed at a meeting open to the public at the town hall and their proposal will be the basis for the preparation of the final technical plans. Announcing this public event, mayor, Ana Mula said “It will be the first major milestone of a much demanded and necessary
transformation of this important commercial space. “We want to ensure that the Mercacentro continues to be a vital spot for local business and an emblem of the new Fuengirola as this is such an important project.� From the very start, the council has made it clear that the a completely new building would be required which would not only reflect the modernity of the town, but also take into account design, accessibility, waste management using innovative materials and new technologies.
Help needed A CALL has gone out for volunteers to help Age Concern Fuengirola and Mijas as it grows. It was established five years ago to provide advice, support, help and friendship - a set of goals that has resonated throughout the English-speaking community. As the charity continues to grow and the requests for its services increase, it is in need of more help. Being a volunteer is extremely rewarding and only requires a few hours a month of your time. There are specific areas where those few hours can make a real difference to the lives of many people. Age Concern is in need of two experienced volunteers who can head up its respective events and fundraising initiatives. The charity receives no financial assistance from local, regional or central governments so relies on its own fundraising initiatives, such as the recent abseiling challenge where they roped down the massive Sunset Beach hotel in Benalmadena. They also need drivers to take clients to hospital and doctor appointments, shop helpers and interpreters. More information: 686 289 904 or 652 537 615 weekdays from 10am - 5pm.

MANY people will have noticed that many wine bottles are no longer sealed with a traditional cork, but are either screw topped or have plastic ‘corks.’ Sadly, the number of cork trees in Spain has reduced dramatically due to fungal parasites and it has become more expensive to collect the cork from those which remain. There is a small cork ‘forest’ in Elviria and it is under threat as a building company allegedly wants to remove the trees and build
a number of villas and terraced houses on the plot. This area was under threat some 12 years ago and the plans were rejected and there is now Spanish and EU legislation meant to protect the cork oak as it is an important tree which catches CO2 and produces oxygen. A group has started a petition on change.org which it hopes to present to the Marbella Council as and when the request for approval to remove the trees is submitted.
Wetlands worries THE Medranas wetland area was created some 135 years ago to supply water for irrigation to San Pedro Alcantara and until 25 years ago it was cleared after the summer ready for possible winter rains. Since that time however, critics complain that it has effectively been ignored, even though 1996 legislation required that whoever owned the area was responsible for its upkeep. Now a motion is to be put to the Marbella Council asking that action be taken immediately so that work can be undertaken to clear the area, in order to try to ensure that there is no flooding this year or in years to come.

Two Land Rovers are involved and the prosecution alleges that Ivan Williams sold both vehicles in 2016 claiming that they were manufactured in 2008 and they had false odometer readings. The first car had an odometer reading of 67,995 km but it had actually
done a total of 139,000 km and the second had an odometer reading of 75,600 km but had actually travelled 274,000 km when it was sold. The irregularities came to light when the owner of one of the vehicles checked the serial number on a Land Rover website which showed that it had actually been manufactured in 2005. The accused denies the charges saying that he imported the vehicles from Germany in good faith.

VOX POP Another Brexit delay - word on the street The saga of Brexit is still ongoing, and it seems this never-ending soap opera has just emitted a jam-packed episode. The European Union has agreed to yet another extension, giving the UK till January 31 to organise their exit. A new concept, the ‘flextension’ is causing uncertainty. Will Boris Johnson manage to deliver an exit before January? Or will the UK face general elections in December, that may very well change the complete course of Brexit. For British living abroad, the long and frustrating process has once again been prolonged. What would have finally been the end, is now just the start of further negotiations and many more questions. In light of all these new developments, Euro Weekly took to the streets to get the public’s opinion.
What is your opinion about the new extension on Brexit?
JULIE CAMPBELL: Need another referendum.
JULIE CAMPBELL, Manchester Julie and her husband live in Manchester but own a holiday home on the Costa del Sol. Julie expressed her concern: “What will this extension do? The Deal will still be the same, unless they can negotiate something better. But they haven’t been able to up till now. And again, the election won’t solve the problem either. A lot of information has come to light since the referendum, and people’s decisions could have changed. I think the only way to break the deadlock is another referendum. If people vote for Brexit again, then that’s it.” When asked about the Prime Minister, Julie was uncertain: “There is a lot of support for him. But I think he is a dubious character. Maybe it’s all fake news, who knows? He just seems like he is constantly a moment away from bursting into laughter.” Ian Campbell, Devon Ian has lived in the quaint village of Frigiliana with his wife for over 15 years. When asked about the new extension date he told EWN: “I guess the EU had no other option than to offer an extension. Will it be the last!” He went on to talk about the elections:
JONATHAN SCOTT: Brexit can only be bad.
“The UK elections are certainly going to be interesting, especially with the Brexit Party being represented. Personally, I feel December isn’t a good time to hold an election. But there is no choice! I fear a lot of MPs are going to lose their seats. We have to wait and see how various political parties present their cases. It could be interesting or we might be hearing the same old quotes. The UK people are just fed up with the way politicians have dealt with Brexit. Then again, with a 52/48 split, what would one expect!”
Jonathan Scott, a resident of Spain and originally from Wolverhampton, is not looking forward to a second referendum. “I have doubts as to what the Spanish government would do after a split and think they will introduce hidden costs for expats. I enjoy my life out here and feel that it was a lot more comfortable before the idea of Brexit began.” He also aired concerns about what would happen to the hundreds of thousands of Spanish people who live and work in the UK. Overall Jonathan believes that Brexit can only be bad and feels at the moment that it would be of no benefit.

Laurence Wood, on holiday from the UK, has strong opinions about what is going on. He believes that the December election, unfortunately, will be seen as the vote on Brexit as it is what everyone will take into account when voting. Also that the extension will not mean anything as a delay will continue unless Boris Johnson gets in. It will also lead to a hung parliament where nothing will be decided and it will continue to drag on. Laurence thinks that “If the UK leave, they will lose worker’s rights and open the door to international competitive markets which will then lead to the privatisation of institutions like the NHS.” Paul, an expat who lives and works between Fuengirola and Gibraltar, thinks that the delay is a very good idea. He believes that they should take as much time as possible to get the best result. He believes that “Boris Johnson will triumph at the December election and forge a deal in January. The Spanish and UK government will end up working on a tit for tat basis and Spaniards in the UK will only benefit once expats have received some kind of benefits in Spain.”
SHEENA RICHARDS: Hopes the Brexit saga will be over soon.
Sheena Richards holidays on the coast at least twice a year. She is frustrated at the delay and believes that Brexit has been such a long, drawn-out affair that she hopes will be over with soon. She is disappointed at the announcement of a second referendum which will hold it back even further. Her main concerns are for her children, who live in Spain, and her grandchildren and what the future should hold for them after a split. When asked about December’s election Sheena stated that she thinks “It will favour the Conservative Party again, which I disapprove of, I would love for another party to have a chance.” *EWN found that many people were more reticent to give their opinions, apparently worn down by what has now been years of Brexit controversy. Worries about paperwork, driving licences, property, etc are endless and plague British living abroad. So much could change in what is currently a very comfortable system for expats, who hope for a smooth transition and minor inconveniences. However, the outcome of Brexit remains vague and neither the EU nor UK politicians have been able to answer people’s questions. In spite of everything, the Costa del Sol remains a wonderful place to live and spend time. Under the warm Andalucian sun, it’s not hard to just smile and sit back.

Empowering EMPOWERING women is the main objective of a free course running until May in l’Alfas del Pi. Around 50 participants have signed up for ‘Secrets of a happy woman,’ which is organised by the local council’s Equality department in collaboration with Essencial, the School of Empowerment for Gender Peace. Leadership and Feminine Empowerment coaches Yolanda Garcia and Concha Coves will over the months cover subjects like managing emotions, promoting self-esteem, motivation, personal ability and decision-taking. “To gain grand scale change the first step consists in starting with oneself, in believing in our abilities,” commented Equality councillor Rocio Guijarro at the opening session of the course. “From this point you have the importance of courses like this, on which men are also welcome, as they should take part in the process and help to overcome cultural practices which favour machismo and inequality.” The twice weekly morning sessions are being held on Thursdays and Saturdays in the Hogar del Pensionista multi-uses hall. Inscription will remain open throughout the year, the course being taught in modules and participants are able to attend once or twice a week, the councillor explained.

Turtle released RELEASED: Loggerhead is back at sea.
A LOGGERHEAD turtle that was rescued when it was found floating listlessly entangled in the remains of a raffia bag has been released into the sea. The sea creature was found on October 1 by staff at the Marine Reserve of La MuelaCabo Tiñoso. The young turtle, which weighed 2.802kg and a shell 28cm long was then nursed back to health at Murcia’s Ministry of Water, Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Environment’s Wildlife Recovery Centre (Centro de Recuperación de Fauna Silvestre). This was the fifth Loggerhead to be rescued and then released into the environment by the centre so far this year. In 2017 and 2018 a total of eight turtles were rescued. Before being released turtles are ringed and micro-chipped as part of a study programme. They can be identified to see migration routes and breeding patterns. The Loggerhead turtle is classified as vulnerable on the List of Wild Species in Special Protection Regime and the Spanish Catalogue of Threatened Species, while the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) considers this species endangered. Among its main threats are the swallowing of plastics and different types of floating waste, their accidental capture in fishing nets, entanglement in remains of drifting lines and, to a lesser extent, collision with boats and the destruction and alteration of nesting beaches. The Wild Fauna Recovery Centre is financed under the Operational Programme of the European Regional Development Fund.

Fertile future 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 surgeon 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.

Good recycling record RESIDENTS of Adra have recycled nearly 18 tonnes of textiles so far this year. The local council praised the public for doing their bit to care for the planet and to help the less fortunate by depositing unwanted clothes, footwear, blankets, sheets, towels and so on in the 15 green containers distributed around Adra town and in outlying districts, including La Caracola, Puente del Río and La Curva. The council explained a company provides a service free of charge to the municipality to sort through collected items. Anything in good condition is donated to NGOs for distribution to the needy. The remainder is recycled to be used for products such as construction insulation.

RETURNS HOME: Victoria de Castro (centre) in front of her house.
Squatters forced to leave HUNDREDS of residents of Portugalete, a town west of Bilbao, have successfully evicted a family of squatters who moved into a 94-year-old woman’s home when she left to visit her sister for a few days. The plight of Victoria de Castro, who returned to find intruders living inside the home that she had lived in all her life, triggered a response by neighbours who congregated in front of the house. Faced with an increasingly angry crowd, the squatters ended up calling the police to say that they would leave the property if they were guaranteed protection, eventually walking out amid heavy security presence. Under Spanish law, regaining the possession back of a home involves lengthy procedures that could until recently take up to two years. In 2018, new legislation was passed to reduce that to 30 days through civil proceedings, however complicated paperwork pushes many homeowners to simply pay the squatters to leave.
THE Mancomunidad de Municipios de la Costa del Sol Axarquia, APTA and CEDER travelled to Jaen for the Tourism Fair ‘Tierra Adentro’ this month to promote its tourist activities. The fair took place between October 25 and 27 and representatives of Axarquia promoted the natural resources which the region has to offer tourists from all over Spain. The spokesman of the Commonwealth of Municipalities of Axarquia, Antonio Sanchez travelled with fellow government members, Juan Peñas, Aroa Palma and the manager of APTA, Elisa Paez to the fair entitled the 18th International Fair of Tourism, Sports and Adventures of Andalucia ‘Tierra Adentro.’ “It’s a very important fair for us because they are the main inland destinations in Spain and because it concentrates professionals in the sector looking for places that offer opportunities for sports tourism or adventure,” said Sanchez. During the visit they promoted areas of outstanding natural beauty such as the Cuevas de Nerja and Tesoro, the Almijara and Alhama Natural Park and the La Caleta marina by distributing leaflets, tourist maps and creating a tourist information point for all 31 municipalities. The delegates also pushed the region’s culinary and cultural offerings as well as highlighting the importance of the tropical fruit industry, specifically the muscatel grape.

PepsiCo goes to new levels
AFTER working for the second largest food company in the world, PepsiCo, for 22 years, Barcelona born Ramón Laguarta was appointed CEO of the largest multinational to have a Spaniard at its helm. Since taking up his position, he has radically changed the impetus of the business which had been more reliant on cost cutting than increased business in order to maintain and increase profits. His theory of sustainability and continued expansion has seen the
By John Smith stock market value of the company rise by 30 per cent over the last year to a mammoth €171 billion and if the company was a country, it would rank 55 in the world just above Algeria and below Qatar. A lot has happened in just one year and his target now is to see a steady increase in profits year on year of between 4 and 6 per cent and this, he believes, can be achieved by rationalising some production and expanding mar kets.
In Spain for example, PepsiCo has outsourced two of its drinks centres to Spanish group Refresco, integrating production for the two groups to increase output and re duce costs, but without losing jobs. He now has his eyes on expand ing the market for Alvalle Gazpa cho which is selling well outside of Spain, but has not yet cracked the US market and this product in par ticular will be promoted heavily in America, where the Spanish speak ing population could well be a lu crative target.
LEGALLY SPEAKING To sell or not to sell? Recently I put my house up for sale and I had a buyer very quickly. I didn’t have a lawyer, as I know what is best for me. I have two small loans, not mortgages, and the lender has a charge against the house. He has been paid but he has to appear at the completion to sign on this. There are also outstanding community charges, some of which I paid from the deposit I received. The completion date was set and I was told I could pack up and leave the house. Then the completion date was put off because the mortgage funds had not arrived. I was given ONE day as notice. I have no confidence in another comple tion date now, which I am expected to go through again on what seems like half a sale. What are your thoughts? J R (Costa del Sol) You cer tainly have encountered set YOU AND THE backs, complica LAW IN SPAIN tions and delays too many to list here but you have signed a binding con tract of sale. I feel that instructing a lawyer would have helped you to obtain what is best for you with less worry.

Profits soar SPANISH bank Sabadell has report ed profit to the end of September 2019 at €783 million which is more than double the amount it made in the last financial year. Not only has it not had to include extraordinary charges with regards to computerisation of its TSB sub sidiary in the UK or had to write down the value of properties owned which it did in 2018, but has also generated an additional €138 mil lion from the sale of estate agents Solvia. This income means that it can match last year’s dividend al though this time by way of shares in treasury stock rather than cash in order to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce outflow of money.

A most successful scam By John Smith ALTHOUGH many internet frauds prove to emanate from Nigeria, some major examples also come out of Spain and it is estimated that last year some 12 companies in 10 countries lost €10 million. This information has been revealed because the Guardia Civil has broken one gang and arrested three people in Spain who between them are alleged to have opened 83 fake companies with 185 bank accounts in order to launder the proceeds of their activities. Known as a Business Email Compro mise (BEC) scam senior management of different companies were imperson
THERE was a great deal of anger, particularly in rural areas of the UK where bank branches have been closed, when Barclays Bank announced that it would stop customers from withdrawing cash from post offices. Nowadays, the bulk of sub post offices are based in newsagent’s premises and the NFRN, the organisation which represents them de-
BEC: Companies have lost millions.
About face manded that the bank review its decision saying the decision “will hit tens of thousands of elderly and vulnerable people especially in rural areas.” Barclays can now claim to be a ‘listening bank’ as it quickly reversed the decision and will sup-
port what it calls a ‘full service proposition’ allowing customers to make cash withdrawals with their debit cards for at least the next three years. Whilst it is becoming more popular to make touch screen payments, many elderly people do prefer to have cash available and smaller businesses can’t always afford the latest technology.
ated and more junior employees were instructed to either transfer funds or supply information which would allow the scammers access to company ac counts. In this particular case, those involved were sophisticated enough to use company letterheads and branding to issue instructions to pay large amounts of money against fictitious proforma invoices. As this particular enquiry continues, investigating officers have so far recov ered €1,290,000 for victims who are believed to be in Bulgaria, Germany, Luxembourg, the UK and US. So successful have various criminal gangs been that many companies are now seriously considering taking spe cial insurance as BEC scams now ac count for more lost money than ran somware or hacked data breaches. International law enforcement agen cies including Europol, the FBI and In terpol have been working together since 2016 under the operational name of Lavanco and have so far ar rested more than 280 individuals from around the world who are believed to have been involved in these BEC scams which are known to have netted more than €150 million.

Lower deficit THE UK Office for National Statistics has admitted that due to a statistical error, the British budget deficit (excluding money tied up in banks) could be as much as £1.5 billion (€1.7 billion) less than previously reported for this year so far.
Nissan woes WHETHER it is a reaction to the unrest in Barcelona or simply a result of the reduction in demand for its vehicles, Nissan Barcelona has reduced production by 20 per cent and may well cut the work force by 600.
Mass exodus A REPORT from New Financial confirms that due to Brexit, 332 financial businesses have moved 5,000 members of staff and assets of nearly €900 million out of London to relocate within the European Union with the largest destination being Dublin.

Truly laughable
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT THIS week’s blizzard of utter codswallop truly has me once again losing the will to live. It really is quite frightening how, in a past life, opinions and laws we would have thought completely ludicrous and truly laughable, are now not only being put into practice, but can actually land you in jail. With the whole fabric of the nation being torn apart and monumental decisions being taken that will affect the futures of every one of us, these whining Wally’s still spend their time, and probably our money, huddled around their half pints of real ale, frantically trying to drag up ludicrous and utterly non sensical rules and regulations merely, in most cases, to give themselves a reason for their own existence. And this week has been no exception. The abolishment of handclapping has final ly reached Oxford University. Students (many of whom will no doubt become future politi cians!) have managed to ban applause on the grounds that it may be wait for it a ‘trig gering’ for people with a nervous disposition! Audiences will now be encouraged to re place clapping with ‘jazz hands,’ the waggling of hands in the fashion of Al Jolson, which will no doubt also need replacing after the
HAND CLAPPING: Audiences will now be encouraged to waggle their hands instead.
first snowflake realises this action is even more ‘offensive’ to some than the clapping it was intended to replace! Wolf whistling is now considered a misogy nist act and police are encouraging women who are victims of this heinous crime to dial 999 and report it. (I actually find it most odd
that most of the ladies I talk to, tell me they would in fact be somewhat disappointed if they didn’t receive the occasional purse lipped projection of appraisement). Somewhat more serious, but in much the same vein, I did think the ‘offence’ supposed ly perpetrated by young teenager Jamie
Griffis was a disgraceful miscarriage of jus tice as far as his sentencing was concerned. This bumbling, somewhat socially inept youngster was found guilty of two charges of sexual assault, after he fumblingly touched a young woman on the arm and waist while trying to talk to her in the street. He told the judge that he tried to talk, but the ‘words wouldn’t come out.’ The young lady said she was convinced that ‘had she not moved back he would have touched her breast’ (oh really!?). She said that the ‘assault’ left her unable to do school work; uncomfortable in her own home, had made her stressed and anxious and that the ‘attack’ had (somehow) hindered her appli cation to Oxford! Now I’m not condoning the actions of this young man, but do think that £250 in com pensation, a 12month community order with 200 hours of unpaid work and being or dered to sign the sex register for the next five years was a bit over the top and will probably affect this unfortunate young man for the rest of his days. Altogether now. Snowflakes are falln’ on my head… Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

INTRIGUE, BETRAYAL & POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS 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
INTRIGUE, betrayal and political assassinations. And that just describes events in the American TV version of House of Cards! The latest Brexit manoeuvres over Boris’s Brexit deal far surpassed all that and would make even Kevin Spacey’s Machiavellian character Frank Underwood blanch. For many barely able to disguise their horror at the spectacle of a nest of politi cal vipers more interested in backstab bing rivals than calming nerves, this Ja cobean tragedy fast descended into a Whitehall farce. Maybe not so much House of Cards then, more like St Trin ian’s? The highlight was billed, with no small degree of hubris, as ‘Super Saturday,’ and everyone in the country was invited to
watch. Against the backdrop of an ex hausted and frustrated nation, Parlia ment programmed a Saturday matinee for the first time in almost 40 years. And what a contrast it was between this ‘Super Saturday’ farce and the high calibre of debate it was when Parliament met on that Saturday all those years ago in the wake of the Falklands invasion. Basically, we would have had a much better deal if May had negotiated proper ly and hadn’t been constantly under mined by the Remainer faction. As it is, in the situation in which Boris has been placed by both May’s failed negotia tions and the Com mon’s shenanigans, his deal is probably the best we can hope for now (‘the least of the
evils’ according to one MP) to allow us to move on. A deal that is, according to another MP, a ‘House of Cards in a tornado’ with everyone hatching plots and tossing spanners in the already mangled Brexit works. Boris isn’t ‘dead in a ditch’ just yet but nor is he out of the hole and his op ponents are still busy digging. Wake me in 20 years (if I last that long) and hope we’ve moved on to the second phase of Brexit. Otherwise we’ll all be dead in a ditch from sheer exhaustion, frustration and the will to live. We’re in the Brexit departure lounge but who knows when the flight will take off?

Don’t dress for dinner MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING THEATRE and dramatics have al ways been part of my life. Even as a small child I remember my parents frequently referring to me as Sarah Bernhard. I had no idea why until years later I found out that she was an actress in the silent movies, a very overly dramatic one. I now take it as a compliment. It’s good to have and express emotion. It means we’re alive and that’s what I feel at the the atre, whether on stage or watch ing as part of the audience. There’s just something that’s so real about it, even when playing another character. Creating an atmosphere where the interaction between the
THEATRE GROUP: A real demonstration of teamwork. players and the spectators be comes tangible is the sign of a memorable performance. Some can be so poignant they stay with you for a lifetime. ‘Whose life is it anyway’ with Tom Conti at the Savoy Theatre in London was perhaps the most moving moment of my young life.
For the first time at 16 years old I was lost in that stage world with those two people. I was that engrossed I obviously had no control of my emotions as ap parently my outbursts of raucous laughter and devastated tears had some of my classmates well amused. It was awesome!
I can honestly say the same for the performance by the Interna tional Theatre Studio of Marbella this past weekend: ‘Don’t dress for Dinner’: It was awesome! Far above and beyond what one would expect from an AmDram experience. I went on the Saturday evening and arrived early, but there were already people in their seats. Friday night had been a sell out but there were worries that Strictly Come Danc ing and the X Factor on British TV may affect that evening’s turnout. This was not the case as when the play started it was to another packed house. We all laughed, a lot, the whole way through the acting was superb! There was an exor bitant amount of dialogue and many tongue twisters, but they all pulled if off to perfection. Everyone was noteworthy. Han nah Lopez and Ruth Baldwin
were gorgeous and exceptional in their roles and Eileen Audas so authentic in her portrayal I did n’t even realise it was she at first. Miles Rendle and Martin Curd played off each other so well that the whole thing just flowed and even Paul (PJ) Lopez who had a much smaller role made a big impression. The offstage crew were equal ly brilliant down to the very last detail; a real demonstration of teamwork at its finest. I had a super evening watching the play and chatting with the lovely mix of people there. I can only but highly recommend you check out their future perfor mances to either take part or go along and watch. We are privileged to have a theatre group such as this in our midst, one that exists thanks to the first foreigners who were here in 1975; in the days when we all dressed for dinner.

No thanks, I don’t use it! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man CAN you imagine someone coming up to you at a gathering, where there are a few people you know, but many you don’t, and saying, “Hi nice to meet you, would you like some crack cocaine to go with your volauvent?” And then, when you say, “No thanks, I don’t use it” they then say, in a surprised tone, “Oh really, are you sure, not just a little bit?” It just wouldn’t happen would it? So why is it when I’m out people who don’t know me very well react so strangely when I tell them I don’t drink alcohol? Most them are absolutely fine and ask what soft drink I would like but then there are the odd few that feel they have the right to ask me why I’m not interested in partaking in their drug of choice in front of everybody. They wouldn’t do that if I refused any other addictive substance. “Not even a small one?” “No, I don’t drink thank you.” “Have you never drunk?” “Yes I used to.” “Oh so why did you stop?” I mean really!
Do I have to explain to you why I don’t drink any more? Can you not just accept I choose not to? I then say I stopped al most 25 years ago and try and leave it at that. Then I get, “Wow! So how do you enjoy yourself when you are out?” That’s when, if it’s someone that I real ly don’t know, they get the Grumpy treat ment and I say, “I get my entertainment from watching people like you getting so drunk that you either want to kiss or fight everyone.” That will usually stop the conversation and they shuffle off and leave me alone with my con gas con lima. Nearly all my friends drink and we have great nights out. They sometimes get pleasantly merry and I love watching them enjoy them selves and they know I can have just as much fun without a ‘drink’ drink. The thing is I know the damage alcohol can do and whilst I’d never preach about it, I do find it so strange that supermar kets discount it sometimes as a loss leader to get people in to buy it. Alcohol itself is not inherently evil. When used responsibly, alcohol can turn social gatherings into pleasant and enjoy able experiences. But when it is misused, alcohol can do more overall harm than any other drug in the world. Cheers!

CROWDED PROMENADE WE love Spain and the Spanish lifestyle, so we have already visited earlier in the year. When we walked along the crowded promenade of Fuengirola in April/May we were shocked at the speed of the two wheeled electric scooters, bikes etc ridden with no regard for pedestrians. We assumed it was just a phase and it would be sorted out. The promenade is less busy now, but despite the falling numbers of pedestrians, the menace of irresponsi ble riders of twowheeled vehicles still speed along footpaths and now roads. We have seen riders weaving in and out of pedestrians on paths and now using the roads, but with no regard to speed limits or even pedestrian cross ings. We assume they are not insured and many do not appear to have any expe rience of riding with other traffic. This is a menace which needs new legislation to incorporate all electric scooters within the normal motorcycle laws. Yours sincerely, Anne & John Cracknell
Multi-culturalism HI Leapy Great article (Issue 1789). The combi nation of PC and multiculturalism, where we are supposed to believe that all cultures are of equal value is destroy ing Europe. And throw in open doors im migration. God help us! Cheers, Ron Leach
Good luck! I JUST wanted to say I hope your communi ty Halloween party for Malaga’s orphanage is a huge success. Unfortunately, my wife and I can’t be there. We have a holiday home in Mijas but are in the UK at the mo ment. However, we have been able to of fer our support at the GoFundMe page. It’s a brilliant thing you are doing good luck. *The fangtastic BeUnited community party to raise money for the orphans of ‘Cuidad de los Niños’ takes place at the Fe ria in Fuengirola from 5pm this afternoon (Thursday, October 31).

OUR VIEW
Brexit extension SINCE his appointment in July, Boris Johnson has made one thing clear: the UK would leave the EU by October 31. However, the deadline has inched closer and the PM hasn’t been able to deliver on his pledge. European leaders have now agreed to an extension, making the Halloween exit a thing of the past. EU Council President Donald Tusk, has announced a ‘flextension’ until January 31, 2020. This will allow Britain flexibility in their exit date. If Boris Johnson manages to get his Brexit deal approved by Parliament and ratified by the European Parliament, the UK could leave on December 1 or January 1. If the deal fails to receive support, the appointed deadline will provide time for a general election. Law requires the prime minister to accept the EU’s offer and it is probable that the UK will appoint a new European Commissioner for the extension. The PM will now campaign for an election on December 12, in the full knowledge that he has not delivered on his primary policy. However, if Parliament accepts the election Mr Johnson would restart the process for his Withdrawal Agreement Bill. Mr Corbyn has announced he will support a December election as the spectre of a No Deal Brexit has been ruled out. But now, the fun deciding the actual date will start. It is expected that the new developments will cause further confusion and discussion in Parliament.

Take a seat DEAR Editor I know what Barry Duke means about rickety chairs (Issue 1789). Most Spanish chairs seem to be put together from light wood and being no lightweight, they creak when I move. There are furniture charity shops and I visited a local one and found the ideal solution. IRON chairs. There was six of them, for sale singularly (€12 each). I bought two as it is only for me, double parked outside (they are too heavy to car ry any distance) and put them both on the back seat where they fitted OK. They are as good and solid as they look. I looked in the shop next day and the other four were gone. Michael Hill
Village opens its doors to campervans I think caravans may have difficulty getting up to the site, campervans shouldn’t have a problem. Hopefully the campers will appre ciate the beauty of the area and leave it clean and tidy. Maggie Pepper Positive as long as all campers leave the place as they find it we are good, happy campers and love exploring nontourist places and meeting locals and seeing the local traditions, so please don’t lose us.

YOUR STARS
TIME OUT
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) There are enough people in this world who will be willing to tell you what to do. Although it is in your nature to value your freedom, have you been compromising? Think of the time you have left to get to grips with a particular situation.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your opinion of someone is in the process of changing. It is not through any particular action of theirs towards you, rather it is a feeling that you should not be involved with their business. Trusting our instincts is something that we do not do enough.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There is a lightness to this week that is welcome. After more than a little bit of aggravation and frustration of late it is overdue. Someone you believed had lost interest in you suddenly surfaces. You may be unsure of how to react, so save judgment.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) A need to listen to your innermost feelings and needs has perhaps been overlooked. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, philosophical thoughts are often pushed into a corner. Even so, you owe it to yourself to truly consider what you want as opposed to going along with what others want from you.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone you would not normally consider to be a friend shows an interest in you. Your immediate reaction may be joy or suspicion. In fact, you are not quite sure what to think. All the same, try to put aside preconceived ideas and give them a chance.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Time is of the essence when pursuing a pet project this week. Having been given the opportunity to go ahead with a plan, do not waste time. Some opportunities do not come twice so be sure to show your enthusiasm.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) A close relationship seems to be changing. You need to know why and maybe believe that you do. However, be sure to get all the facts. Asking outright questions of the person involved is your best chance of getting the right answers. Someone may urge you to ‘read between the lines’ but it is hardly necessary.
‘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.’
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) With so much energy around you, it will be hard to concentrate on business matters. Finances, however, do require your attention and a brief period of scrutiny will s h o w y o u w h y. S o m e o n e close may be spending too much or undermining the situation by making big plans.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Nostalgia overtakes you and an urge to look back into the past is strong. Perhaps you are thinking of tracing your family tree. It may be that you have received a letter or phone call that aroused your curiosity.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)

When you start to worry too much about things, it is time to take a step back. Senseless worrying is when you really cannot do anything to change the situation. Take into account how, in the past, worrying has affected your wellbeing. Maybe it is time to walk away and take another path entirely.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is a creative week and one in which you seek to find your talents. For some time now you have toyed with the idea of joining a club or group. This will enhance your social life and bring you laughter.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Life can get complicated at this time of the year and you may feel pulled in more than one direction. You are perfectly entitled to change your mind about an arrangement.

Cancer on the rise CASES of pancreatic and colon cancer have risen by 10 per cent in the last 30 years. The increase is believed to be in relation to obesity and diabetes. Investigators have studied the ill ness in 195 countries between 1990 and 2017. The high prevalence of these types of cancer could also be partly due to a larger population and longer life expectancy. The finalised study was presented at the European Congress for Gas troenterology in Barcelona. More than 14,000 specialists congregated to discuss their findings. It is the first investigation to provide a worldwide estimation of the burden this cancer entails on the health ser vices and the risk factors. Researchers have highlighted that the number of deaths due to pan creatic cancer have risen by 130 per cent, but they explain that consider ing current population it equates to 12 per cent more. The experts link the numbers to international growth in cases of obesity and diabetes.
High levels of sugar in blood is con sidered a major risk factor. This type of cancer is one of the deadliest with only a 5 per cent survival rate. How ever, causes of the condition can be widely avoided, such as smoking, obesity and diabetes. On the other hand, colorectal cancer is also 10 per cent more ex tended but mortality rates have fall en 13.5 per cent. This is due to pro grammes aimed at early detection. Risk factors for men have been listed as alcohol consumption, smoking and diets that lack in fibre and calcium. In women it seems on ly diet aspects are of influence.
ON THE UP: Number of cases of pancreatic and colon cancer.
Pain Relief Now PAIN - mild or unbearable - tends to start creeping up on you. Suddenly, you can’t take it any more and immediately reach for a painkiller. Even though this may prove an effective method, many doctors discourage the continued use of medication. If you find yourself taking anything from the common aspirin or maybe something stronger like prescription opioids, it could be time to reconsider. In many cases the use of pharmaceuticals is neces sary. But taking into ac count the side effects that pills can have, it is recom mended to try a nonmed ication approach first. Alternative remedies can work for minor headaches and muscle tension. In cas es of further pain speaking with a doctor about remedi
al approaches is encour aged. These pain manage ment techniques have been advised by pain specialists and can sometimes substi tute your medicine. 1. Go for a walk: Advo cating for an active lifestyle is nothing new in the world of health. Exercise strength ens muscles and is essential for living a long life. Physical activity should always be discussed with a doctor and planned out based on abili ty and pain symptoms. Many lowimpact exercises are great for relieving aches, especially back pain. It is also an easy activity to incorporate in daily rou tines, like walking your dog in the morning. 2. Hydration: Water may attack discomfort at its
source. Keeping up with dai ly water intake is good for overall health. But it is also crucial for cushioning be tween joints and protecting internal tissue. Dehydration will also drain energy and can lead to exhaustion and worsen existing symptoms. Eight glasses per day should be the minimum intake to assure wellbeing. 3. Take a bath: Water is miraculous on the inside, but it also does wonders from the outside. A warm bath will help ease soreness and reduces pressure on the joints. The warm tem perature will also get your circulation going and will stimulate blood, resulting in the loosening of stiff mus cles. 4. At home massaging:
PAIN RELIEF: Doctors recommend trying a different approach.
Making an appointment for a massage can be a nui sance and be bad for bud geting. A handheld athome massager could prove to be a useful investment if you are looking for much need ed pain relief. Incorporating massage into pain manage ment will enhance blood flow and reduce muscle
tension. As circulation acti vates, inflammation and swelling will naturally de crease. 5. Miracle ginger: A study published in journal Arthri tis in 2013 claimed that gin ger can be more effective for pain relief than ibupro fen. The powerful antiin flammatory blocks the for
mation of compounds that produce inflammation. It al so breaks down existing acidity and fluids between the joints. Ginger can be eaten raw in small doses, al though it may prove too spicy for a lot of people. Other alternatives are using it in aromatic teas, smooth ies or cooking.

Ramos appeal FOOTBALL ace Sergio Ramos has joined fel low football stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and fallen foul of tax laws in Spain. The Real Madrid and Spanish international defender was fined €1 million, according to EL Mundo, and now intends to appeal. In a statement, he said that changes to the law were to blame, adding that he is ‘aware of all of my obligations to the Spanish Tax Agency.’ He claims the Tax Agency notified him of a different settlement amount for the 2012 2014 period, ‘after changing the criteria,’ which he says he paid in full. “It’s an administrative fine, not a criminal penalty,” he said, adding that “given my dis agreement with the change of criteria from the Tax Agency and, I reiterate, given my payment has been made, I have exercised my right to appeal the agency’s decision.” Messi and Ronaldo were both given prison sentences and were fined after be ing found guilty of tax evasions, though neither served any time after agreeing to deals under Spanish laws.

SOCIAL SCENE
ORIGINALLY created as a way to promote and publicise the qual ity of food in Fuengirola and in spired by other towns undertak ing the same promotions, what was a simple tapa promotion is now proudly the Erotic Tapa Route. It’s the 11th year that it has been running and has become increasingly more popular as bars and restaurants try to think up increasingly cheekier dishes to set before their customers. There are 73 different estab lishments taking part in the pro motion which runs from tomor row (Friday, November 1) until November 17 with each option costing just €2.50 to include a drink and a very exotic (or erot
ic) snack. The intention is to offer a wide range of options including gluten free, vegetarian and sweet choices but this year, cus tomers will decide the top three out of the 73 made available. Forty thousand ‘TAPAportes’ are being produced and distrib uted via municipal buildings and the participating outlets and once an individual collects 10 stamps, they can receive a free gift (subject to availability) and also be entered to a draw with €7,000 of different prizes to be won. Last year restaurants sold more than 1,000 tapas over a weekend and many sold be tween 8,500 and 10,000 units.
Free Jazz Music
AWARD WINNER: The very funny and slightly twisted Larry Dean.
ONCE again, Malaga City will be the hub for jazz music during the first week of November with the following concerts free of charge: November 1, 1pm El Pedregal seafront. Anchor Square with Swing for Five and 6pm at TeatinosUniversidad, Decantation Raft November 2, 1pm Belle McNulty Quartet at Puerto de la Torre, Virgen de las Cañas Park then Churriana, Square of the Immaculate November 3, 1pm Alicia Tamariz Quartet at Carretera de Cádiz, Park Huelin then at 6pm Bluebells, Parque El Brillante.

This week Celebrity & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks for the alternative rock band Keane .
IT was 2003 when the alternative rock band Keane released their number one hit album featuring the hit song Somewhere Only We Know, written by Tim RiceOxley, a band member and keyboards wizard. I remember it well because that was the year that my marriage irretrievably broke down and I recall hearing the song constantly. It made me sad, the lyrics and the mood of the song and the fact that I had watched Keane live at the V Festival sing the song the year before we split. It was full of memories. Shortly after that, band member Tim RiceOxley booked his wedding at my hotel and restaurant near Cambridge. They didn’t want the world to know that they were getting married and so we had to agree to tell no one. When the day came, we were delighted to see Chris Martin (Coldplay) The Killers and other iconic pop stars arriving at our little boutique hotel. When we discussed the menu with Tim, he wanted something vegetarian to start, then lamb as the main course. “Lamb is delicious slowly cooked but it’s also lovely cooked pink,” I said, and so I did it both ways.

Somewhere Only We Know
KEANE: Before the break-up.
I bought some lamb from the Prince Charles estate, Highgrove which was organic and of amazing quality. I also bought some braising lamb which usu ally comes from either the neck or the shoul der. It had the right amount of fat on it and I knew by looking at it that it would braise well
and be soft and moist. I was going to cook a Navarin style Lamb Stew and the rack of lamb with the bones re moved and cooked pink. It was going to be a fantastic meal. The Killers did a couple of numbers that night after their meal, they were amazing but
the neighbours complained. I took the calls and told them that rock bands, Keane, Killers and Coldplay were in the house celebrating and I apologised. “Oh yeah in your dreams,” they said and hung up! Keane were one of Britain’s biggest bands in the 2000s with their album Hopes and Fears selling six million copies. But in 2013 the band folded mainly because of Tom Chaplin’s self confessed drug addiction problems and Tim had split up with his wife, even after I had put on such a great wedding! In 2017 Tom reached out to Tim who was in a hole (as he put it) after his marriage split and after being arrested for drunk driving. They agreed to a band reunion as they had been friends as far back as small children and so they put their troubles behind them and in September 2019 they released their first album since their split called Cause and Effect. All the songs have been written by Tim Rice Oxley and Keane. To celebrate their comeback, I rewrote their lamb recipe with a few twists and put it on my current menu at The Little Geranium. So here it is for you to try at home! The Cause and Effect of fantastic lamb!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
The Navarin (Lamb Stew) INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 x 1kg boned rolled lamb shoulders, a little of the fat trimmed, cut into 2/3 cm pieces 2/3 tablespoons plain flour 2 tablespoons tomato paste 4 tablespoons of chopped tomatoes (tinned is ok) 3 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped 750ml chicken stock 500ml red wine 1 tablespoon honey 6 fresh thyme sprigs 3 dried bay leaves 12 small potatoes, peeled and halved 2 bunches carrots, ends trimmed, peeled and chopped into 1 ½ cm dice 1 small bunch of fresh mint 1 small bunch of fresh rosemary 300g green beans, topped For the pink loin of lamb
3 x 6 bone racks of lamb with bones removed (so that you have three long lean pieces of trimmed lamb. Cut it in halves so that you have six equal pieces.) 4 tablespoons of panko breadcrumbs 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley 2 tablespoons of chopped mint A knob of butter Maldon salt and pepper Note: Keep the lamb bones and roast until golden brown on a high heat in the oven. Re move and reserve for the sauce later. Method 1. Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medi umhigh heat. Add the chopped lamb and stir in the flour and seal all over, turning every two min utes until brown. Transfer the meat to a plate. 2. Add the tomato paste and garlic to the stockpot, then add the chicken stock and the roasted lamb bones and half the wine. Add the thyme and bay leaves and bring to the boil over a
high heat. 3. Return the lamb to the pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer. 4. Add the potato and the carrots and the sprigs of fresh mint and rosemary to the lamb stock pot and slow cook, covered for two hours. 5. After two hours strain off the meat and vegetables and reserve the sauce 6. Reduce the sauce with the other half of the wine on a high heat until thick and add the hon ey. Taste and season with salt and pepper and put the lamb and vegetables back into the re duced sauce. 7. Blanch the green beans in boiling seasoned water until tender (approx two mins) To cook the loin of lamb 1. Seal the lamb loins in a frying pan in a little olive oil and the knob of butter until brown all over. 2. Season well and roast to the oven on a bak
Navarin of lamb with pink loin.
ing tray for four minutes. Remove and rest. 3. Mix the breadcrumbs with the chopped herbs and seasoning. 4. Place the lamb back in the oven to boost some heat back into it for two minutes and then toss each piece through the herb/crumb mixture. 5. Slice thinly and arrange neatly on each plate 6. Serve some of the Navarin stew in the cen tre of each plate in small dishes (see photo) and save some of the sauce to put in a jug and serve separately. 7. Garnish the plates with the green beans and some micro cresses.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

New Opel Corsa is ‘Company Car Of The Year’ THE market is awash with company car models. But which one is the best? Auto Bild asked this question and the magazine’s readers answered: the new Opel Corsa. The ‘little’ German has been voted ‘Company Car Of The Year’ in the small car category. This is the first mediaprize to be won by the sixthgeneration Corsa, which was presented at the IAA Frankfurt International Motor Show in September. “Along with the Astra, the Corsa
is our most important model in Europe,” said Harald Ham precht, Opel’s Vice Presi dent Communications at the ‘Company Car Of The Year’ prize giving in Berlin. “Opel has democ ratised mobility for 120 years. “We make pioneering technolo gies accessible for everyone. “That is what we stand for, that is what the new Corsa stands for, and our customers appreciate it especially in the company car
area.” Depending on the version, the Opel Corsa (which picked up 22 per cent of the votes for ‘Compa ny Car Of The Year’) is ideal for singles and couples, as well as company car drivers and families. Around 14 million units produced in 37 years provide the proof. The Corsa first joined the model range below the Kadett in 1982. The Corsa A, which was originally
conceived for firsttime buyers and those on an economy budget, became a bestseller, achieving sales of 3.1 million by 1993. The sixth generation of the practical, stylish and dynamic Cor sa made its premiere at the IAA Frankfurt International Motor Show in September 2019. An allelectric version is also

The readers of Auto Bild elected the company car of the year for the second time. They chose from vehicles in sev en categories, from small and compact cars to luxury automo biles and plugin hybrids.
Dacia Duster Comfort TCe ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher THE Dacia Duster is a family SUV with a price once described by the manufacturer as ‘shockingly cheap’ yet the remarkable aspect of the cleverly-designed Duster is that it doesn’t look at all cheap! P rices start at just €12,350 (£10,995) and for that you do get a minimally-equipped version so many buyers aim for midrange models which offer much more kit yet can still be as much as €5,600 (£5,000) cheaper than some comparable rivals. Dacia is part of the giant R enault G roup and the Duster is built on a proven Renault platform and uses Renault engines, but there the similarities end. Duster has a distinctive and pleas-
ing design which can equal that of many of its class rivals and while admittedly equipment levels are not always as generous, the D uster can still shout about its great value for money. The entry version has a 1.0- litre petrol engine and there is a 1.3-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel in the line up, with five trim levels which are priced up to around €22,000 (£20,000). The featured model is a Duster with a 128 hp 1.3litre TCe turbo-petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox. I n mid-range C omfort trim it costs €16,844 (£14,995) and standard features include alloy wheels, air-conditioning, cruise control, four powered windows, L E D daytime running lights, rear-view camera, touchscreeen infotainment, B luetooth, connectivity features and sat-nav. Revised last year, Duster
DACIA DUSTER: A distinctive and pleasing design. now has upgraded interior trim and revamped external styling which give it enhanced kerb appeal. Seating is more comfortable and the cabin takes four adults with ease and a fifth at a squeeze. The boot has good capacity at 478 litres, and space can be boosted to an impressive 1,623 litres by dropping the rear seats.

From Bath it Started - Again! R
EGULAR readers of this page may remember that, this time last year, I went to Bath, UK, to participate in the Lombard Bath Rally, a recreation of RAC rallies of the 1970s and 1980s. The event was a huge success and so the organisers decided to run it again this year with an improved format and better hotels and facilities. They didn’t disappoint and approximately 130 beautiful rally cars and their crews and entourages descended on Bath, in fact at Bath Racecourse, last Friday afternoon to go through scrutineering and signing on procedures. Once signing on was completed it was time to go to the Bar at Bath Racecourse and get coffees for driver and co-driver and our intrepid service crew. As a Spanish resident this came as something of a shock to pay £12 for four coffees!! Last year I was fortunate to have the use of my son, Jonathan’s, Group 4 Escort rally car and this year I had thought I would be driving a ‘proper’ Group 4 Triumph TR7 V8 as I used many years ago. Unfortunately, this did not materialise, but a good friend came up with the idea of using his ex-works, ex Russell Brookes Opel Manta 400. I was, needless to say, delighted to accept and it was this very famous motor car that arrived on its transporter at about the same time as I did at the Racecourse.
feeling the 30-odd years that had passed since I competed in earnest! The car was an absolute delight to drive and contributed much to me getting some confidence back. The hydraulic handbrake was used to great effect on the first tight hairpin bend on a slippery piece of tarmac and loose under the trees which the early morning sun had so far failed to dry out. See the photo below.
Hairpin tight, under the trees and good use of the hydraulic handbrake! The second stage was in Cirencester Park where some 15,000 spectators had turned out to see the cars and their heroes performing. It was slippery and fast with much of the stage covered by trees and so very damp. The Manta was surefooted and a joy to drive, and thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by the huge spectator crowd. A coffee break in the Park was much needed as spectators and crews mixed and mingled, everyone enjoying the marvellous atmosphere created. The second run through the park was fast but slippery, and some care was needed to avoid over-enthusiastic spectators, but no problem were encountered and all enjoyed it.

vice point at Aust, near the old Severn Bridge. It meant we would miss the afternoon stages in Wales, but our service crew were brilliant and most resourceful. They took the Manta back to its workshops in Weston-Super-Mare but were unable to effect repairs in time so, much to my surprise, they turned up later at the night-halt at Celtic Manor Resort, near Newport, with an ex-works, ex-Roger Clark Ford Escort RS1600 Mk.1 that has recently been restored and so we were able to complete the Welsh stages on the Sunday morning and enjoy yet another fabulous piece of motoring history. I stepped in to this car at the start of the first special stage that Sunday morning with a degree of trepidation as it was such a special car, but it was such a pleasure to drive and so quick, we just enjoyed it all before heading back to Celtic Manor resort and a fine roast Sunday lunch. It had been a marvellous event, I can’t believe how many old friends and faces were there and the dinner on Saturday night was most enjoyable. On my table was Stuart Pegg, a South African who had won the RAC Rally in 1976 co-driving Roger Clark in an Escort and he was fascinating to talk to. We partied the night away with Stig Blomqvist and many others, a fine way to finish things!
Driver Ian Giles, Co-Driver Bob Rutherford and Craig Evans, head of Service. When I participated in this event last year, it was the first time I had seen many of the other crews in about 30 years.

Perfect rallying weather as we set off at 8.30am to the first special stage at Badminton House. Some pre-stage nerves jangled a little but, as soon as the flag dropped, and so did the clutch, I was relaxed and away and not

WALES took on South Africa in the Rugby World Cup semifinal in Yokohama after a moment’s si lence took place for the victims of Typhoon Hagibis.

Physical first 15 minutes were played when South Africa got a penalty as Tipuric got caught the wrong side of a ruck Pollard lined up the shot at goal and nailed it 0 3. Great work though by Jon Davies straight after and North got Wales outside the Boks’ de fence. They scrambled to stop Josh Adams but strayed offside. Biggar had his first shot at goal. It wasn’t an easy one, but he nailed it in Biggar style. 33 Twentyone minutes into the first half saw a big scrum by South Africa that earned a penalty. Pol lard lined it up and stuck it through the uprights, 36. Wales were hanging on due to South African pressure, but the in tention was clear the Boks were trying to take the legs out of Wales with their physicality. It was paying off as Ken Owens gave

away a soft penalty at the maul. Pollard nailed it 39. On 39 minutes it was all going on, Wales had a penalty advan tage for a cheap shot by Ver meulen off the ball on Wainwright but Biggar put it up aerially but North’s hamstring seemed to go
chasing it. North went off, re placed by Watkin as Biggar smacked the ball with full Welsh passion through the posts bring ing the score to 69. Just after the whistle blew for half time. The teams came back out leav ing 40 minutes for Wales to make
history for themselves. Straight in to the second half saw a big error from Faf de Klerk. He dropped a Halfpenny kick into touch. Wales got a penalty from the lineout as Etzebeth jumped across the line out. Biggar lined up a shot at goal and scored, Wales were level 99.
South Africa started to put on the pressure in the 58th minute and Wales could not live with it. The penalty advantage was there but Damian de Allende went through the tackles of Tomos Williams and Biggar to force his way over the line. It was a massive try in such a tight scoring game. With the conversion scored as well, the score drastically changed to 916. Wales were determined though and went through 21 phases but they couldn’t break through. Penalty came but they went for the scrum. This was a bold move and the tactic paid off, it was ball sy, but they got it away. Moriarty. Williams. Davies then Adams over in the corner! Patchell then nailed the extras and the game was lev elled 1616. Ten minutes were left to decide who would make the final v Eng land but with just five minutes left of normal play, South Africa won a penalty and scored what looked like could shatter Welsh dreams as they went ahead 1619. The whistle shortly blew and the Welsh dream sadly was over.

Santa Maria extends to Par-71 CostaLessGolf Weekly News with
Ron Garrood SANTA MARÍA Golf & Country Club has extended its 18hole course to a par71 following a major transformation of the ninth hole, which has been lengthened from a 324metre par 4 to a 511metre par 5. The tees on the ninth re main the same. The first shot has to be hit across a lake and begin climbing a slight slope, gaining enough distance so you can reach the new fair way with your second shot, a slight dogleg to the left to the second landing area; or, for the more conservative, a third shot which will require a second approach to avoid two bunkers protecting both boundaries of the new hole. The approach shot to the green offers an expansive landing area. Large, gently sloping with two putting plat forms, the green is protected

The ninth green is in the highest area of the golf course. The hole rises slightly from the tee to a wellpro tected green in a stunning natural setting. Its size en ables many different flag po sitions, which further en hances the hole’s features. This extension of the course will be continued with a new layout remodelling to lengthen it further to a par72 within a few months, proba bly by March 2020. Santa María Golf was inaugurated in 1991, initially with nine
holes designed by Antonio García Garrido. The second nine, opened in 1996, were designed by the club’s techni cal team.

IT was a terrible start for the league leaders as Harry Kane scored from basically the kickoff on 47 seconds. Kane was onside and Spurs went ahead as Son came in field onto his right foot and whacked a 20yard shot that took a deflection off Lovren and hit the post. It rebounded to Kane, who stooped to steer a header wide of Alisson from eight yards. Mane missed a great chance on 30 minutes flicking a header wide from Alexan derArnold’s stunning pass/ cross. It was a brilliant ball, lofted over the defence from a very narrow position as Liv erpool started to show some of their more established form. The half saw Liverpool have 79 per cent of the possession but no real cutting edge and with currently three points between them and second placed Man City, they needed

to shape up for the second half. That’s exactly what they did, less than 10 minutes into the second half, Fabinho floated a nothing ball into the area towards Firmino, who went over after a little shove from Rose. While everyone was appealing for a penalty, Henderson guided the bounc ing ball into the far corner with his left foot with an ex
cellent finish. Seventyfourth minute Serge Aurier did well to get back and dispossess Mane but then he kicked the back of Mane’s leg as he tried to clear. It was a clear penalty, Salah smashed it into the back of the net to give the league leaders the lead for the first time in the game. The last 15 minutes Liver pool just basically saw the
game out in style maintaining possession and hardly letting lacklustre Tottenham in the game, without Kane in their side they would have even larger issues as they have now. As for Liverpool, not their greatest game but dug it out and played like champions. Final score, 21 Liverpool and remain six points clear at the top of the table.

England fined THE England Rugby World Cup side have been fined £2,000 (€2,318) for crossing the halfway line during the All Blacks haka before their semifinal clash last Satur day. The fine comes after the side’s emphatic 197 victory at the Yokohama Stadium in the Rugby World Cup semifinals. An early try from Manu and the subsequent conversion from Ford gave the Lions an early 70 lead. A disallowed try and a penalty kick from Ford kept the pressure on New Zealand going into the second half. The next 45 minutes proved to be an England mas terclass with the side keeping the majority of the posses sion. A second disallowed try from Youngs was closely fol lowed by a Farrell try which did make the cut. The All Blacks came back briefly, but a couple of beauti fully converted penalties
sealed the victory for the Eng land side. After the match, the Eng land side were investigated for their response to the pre game haka. Rugby rules state that both teams must remain in their respective halves before the whistle, however referee Nigel Owens had to usher England players back several times as the New Zealand squad performed their ritual haka. New Zealand manager Steve Hansen seemed un phased by the haka reaction, claiming he thought their stance was “fantastic.” “If you understand the ha ka then it requires a response. It’s a challenge to you person ally and it requires you to have a response. I thought it was brilliant quite imagina tive too. “We didn’t just want to stand in a flat line and let them come at us,” said Farrell, who seemingly smiled during the haka.
Emphatic wins PREMIERSHIP front runners Manchester City and Leicester City took emphatic wins yesterday to help bolster their Premier League campaigns. Second place Manchester City took a dominant 31 victory over battle scarred Southampton in the League Cup last night. Argentinian Nicolas Otamendi opened the scoring for the blues in the 20th minute before a Sergio Agüero double put City firmly in the driving seat. Fresh off a crippling 90 defeat to Leicester last Friday, Southampton dug deep and managed to pull a consolation goal in the form of a Jack Stephens strike in the 75th minute. Fellow Premiership title contender Leicester City were also in action against Burton where they carried on their good form with a 13 victory over the League one side. Kelechi Iheanacho opened the scoring after only seven minutes followed by a strike by Youri Tielemans. Burton pulled back a goal shortly into the second half thanks to Liam Boyce, but Leicester sealed their place in the com petition with a third by James Maddison just before the final whis tle. All eyes will now turn to the EFL Carabao Cup tonight as Man chester United take on Chelsea, Aston Villa meet Wolverhampton and Liverpool meet with Arsenal.
