DONE DEAL
A MESSAGE from British Consul Charmaine Arbouin to UK nationals in Spain The Withdrawal Agreement which sets out how the UK leaves the EU has now passed into UK law, which, once the European Parliament has ratified it this week, means that the UK is leaving the EU with a deal on January 31. This is very positive news for UK nationals who are resident in Spain, as the Withdrawal Agreement contains some really important protections for your rights: • You will be able to continue to live and work in Spain • UK state pensioners will continue to have lifelong healthcare as long as they remain living in Spain. This also applies to residents who claim a UK state pension in the future • Your UK state pension will continue to be uprated • You will be able to exchange your driving licence until the end of 2020 without taking a driving test and your Spanish licence will be accepted in the UK when you visit.
A MESSAGE: From British Consul Charmaine Arbouin. Those rights will be protected for as long as you live in Spain, provided you are legally resident here by the end of 2020. The Withdrawal Agreement also provides a Transition Period (from January 31 until Decembe 31) during which time nothing will change for UK Nationals in Spain. Charmaine Arbouin said: “The approval of the Withdrawal Agreement is a very important step for UK nationals living here. It provides reassurance on key rights, such as being able to continue to live and work here, and for
pensioners to have lifelong healthcare and uprated pensions. Alongside those rights, you have obligations - the main one being to make sure you are registered with a green residency certificate. This remains a valid document after January 31 and we will communicate any details on future residency processes once we have them.

Acts of kindness YOU may all remember that in Oct o b e r E u r o We e k l y N e w s h e l d a spooktacular Halloween party where we invited all of our readers, friends, and residents to help us celebrate and raise funds for the orphaned children at the Ciudad de Los Niños in Malaga. The evening was a fangtastic success and through the help of our amazing local community, we smashed our €8,280 target by reaching a total of €10,016 to be donated to the vulnerable children. With the funds raised, we were able to buy some much needed gifts for the youngsters such as 29 new mattresses, a €100 clothing voucher each, Christmas hampers which included gifts and toiletry bags with aftershave and a tshirt and jacket each.
To say the children were grateful is an understatement, but it showed that simple acts of kindness can make a huge difference in someone’s life. EWN has now received a lovely letter of thanks from the orphanage offering their most sincere gratitude for the gifts and the help that our Euro Weekly community has given them. We feel this is such an amazing gesture that we should share it with all of our loyal supporters who helped this deserving cause.

THE piece dates from the 10th-11th centuries, acc o rd i n g t o s p e c i a l i s t s , who have highlighted its good state of preservation. The work of the archaeologists at the Metro site on Avenida de Andalucía continues to bring to light significant remains of Malaga’s remote past. In the final stretch of the excavations, work which has been accelerated in view of the commitment with the Junta de Andalucía to have the line restored to its original state by the end of May or beginning of June, the technicians have unearthed a relevant piece: a Muslim oven that is estimated to date back to the 10th and 11th centuries. As Euro Weekly News understands, the remain was found unearthed next to the underpass of the parking of Smassa in Avenida de Andalucía. The Muslim oven has, since its discovery, been officially documented with the Territorial Delegation Culture and Historical Patrimony. The oven adds to a number of items already extracted from the subsoil since almost a year ago when the archaeological works in the RenfeGuadalmedina section started.
Beach drones FUENGIROLA will reinforce the security on its beaches this summer by expanding the drone aerovigilance service to its entire coastline. This was announced by the mayor, Ana Mula, who has reported that this benefit is currently in the bidding phase. Since last summer, the town council has provided this service on the beach of Los Boliches, where the Rescue and Lifeguard Coordination Centre is located. It was a pioneering project as it was the first beach in the country to have this rescue tool. Given the success of this initiative, the PP government team has decided to extend it to its entire coastline, “which will make Fuengirola the first town with 100 per cent of its aerovigilated beaches,” according to Mula. “We are a reference city in terms of the quality of our beaches, which although they are not the only tourist attraction we have, can be one of the most internationally recognised.”

On the day there will be a children’s educational talk where team leader Joe will be advising people how they can reduce plastic waste. PFSW believes the future of the planet is in the hands of today’s youth and that it is so important that children understand the enormous burden they have inherited from past generations. The hope is that coming to a beach clean up will be a huge insight into how much plastic there is. Parents are urged to bring along their children and get involved. Craig
Webb from Plastic Free Seas Worldwide will be on site to offer advice on how to reduce your plastic waste at home, tips on how to cut your single use plastic waste and of course getting his hands dirty cleaning up the beaches. PFSW are now in their third year of beach cleaning and have grown organically with a great bunch of volunteers who take pride in keeping it simple. All they ask is that you simply turn up and go home with a great sense of achievement.
British Embassy threatened with terrorist attack THE National Police have arrested a 51year-old man for threatening to launch a terrorist attack on the British Embassy in Madrid. As reported by the Chief of Police, the man made repeated phone calls to the consulate on January 11 where he said that he would attack the building within 72 hours as he “had nothing to lose.” Due to the serious threat, the police immediately launched an investigation in collaboration with security officials from the Embassy and were able to identify the caller. It is understood that the man, who is of Lebanese nationality, has an extensive criminal record and that investiga-
tors considered him to be a dangerous individual capable of such an attack. It is also reported that throughout his criminal history, he had used 10 different identities after carrying out similar threats against the British Consulate in Malaga in 2009 including shooting the flag and shield on the front of the building and would frequently post his hatred for Britain on social media. Officers were able to locate the man at a property in Benalmadena where he appeared in court last Friday (January 24). The judge has ordered him to keep 500 metres away from the British Embassy and its diplomats, and is prohibited to call them on the phone.

THE only upside of Storm Gloria is the fact that Malaga reservoirs have been topped up with the equivalent of approximately four month’s supply of water for the province. According to Hidrosur network data, the recorded increase in reservoir levels is almost 35 cubic hectometres, enough to meet the needs of Malaga until early June in theory. As of Monday, the dams contained 380 cubic hectometres, compared to just under 345 the week before, but this is still short of the 478.7 hec-

Police chase crash A CAR burst into flames after the British driver crashed into a wall while being chased by police in La Cala de Mijas. At around 2.30am on Monday morning, Local Police officers spotted a vehicle travelling at ‘great speed’ along Avenida Mare Nostrum. After turning on the blue lights and sirens, the driver reportedly responded by accelerating and a chase began.

According to reports, he was found to have a record for drink driving, and did not have a valid driving licence.

Eviction notice INMA RODRÍGUEZ, a 56-yearold resident of Torremolinos who lives with her mother of 80 years old and has a degree two disability, are being forced out of their apartment this week. The Court of Instance number four has ordered their eviction after the Bank Sabadell, owner of the house, initiated a judicial procedure for repeated non-payments of the rent. All municipal groups of the town council, except Vox, have signed a letter of support to these two women to demand ‘a positive resolution’ of the case and denounce that the eviction would leave them ‘in a situation of helplessness.’ This is the second time they face being thrown out after an extension granted in November. Now the Court authorises the intervention of ‘force and necessary measures’ to execute the order in case these
residents of the Calvario neighbourhood do not allow entrance to the floor. The house was acquired by Inma and her husband in the 80’s. She finished paying the mortgage herself after becoming a widow in 1991. She recalls that “At that time I had a clothing store that has been forced to close because of the crisis and the arrival of multinationals with prices against which I could not compete.” She went on to explain that “When things were going well for me I bought another apartment for my parents to live in because there was humidity in theirs.” She put her first home as collateral, but income fell “little by little” and debts began to accumulate. She sold that second home for the remainder of the mortgage, but still owed about €60,000 to the bank, so that the property went up for auction, leaving Sabadell with its ownership.

A GOOD YEAR: Exceeding 1.4 million travellers.
Record year MALAGA City beat its own record last year by exceeding 1.4 million travellers for the first time, which represents an increase of 3 per cent compared to 2018, according to data from the National Statistics Institute (INE). In addition, the stays increased by 5.7 per cent reaching 2,785,302. “The year 2019 has been an exceptionally good one where Malaga City has broken all the figures so far registered,” said the council lor for Tourism and Promotion, Rosa Sánchez, who has reported the data at a press conference with the mayor of Fiestas, Teresa Porras.
The average stay of hotel tourists last year was 1.98 nights and the occupancy rate reached 78.65 per cent, which shows, according to Sánchez, that seasonality in Malaga does not occur as in other areas. The capital of the Costa del Sol was the urban destination with the second highest occupation in Spain, only behind Barcelona’s 80.28 per cent. The number of international tourists already accounts for 61.84 per cent of the total number of travellers staying in the city’s hotels. Thus, 871,998 arrived, 3.43 per cent more, which generated 1,832,8889 overnight stays.
ON Monday Mayor Ana Mula took on the role of the new president of the Partido Popular of Fuengirola. The action was decided by the Local Executive Committee at a meeting on Monday with the provincial president of the PP, Elías Bendodo, and Esperanza Oña, who now leaves the local presidency after 30 years in charge. “I leave the presidency very calm and happy with what we have achieved these 30 years, but also because I know that I leave the position in good hands,” said Esperanza Oña. Elías Bendodo praised the work done by Oña, “Fuengirola is the lighthouse of the PP in our province. And it is for people like Esperanza Oña, to whom we have to thank for her generosity and success.

During her speech, Mula stated “I don’t believe in magic formulas to get good results and achieve impor-
tant milestones. I only believe in work, in constant dedication, in permanent service to others and always, always, with high doses of closeness and contact with the people I represent. “And that formula, which I know works, our electoral successes in Fuengirola prove it, it is what I am going to put into practice in the PP as president.”

Caught in act VIGILANT neighbours alerted police to an attempted motorbike theft as it was allegedly taking place in Malaga on Tuesday morning resulting in the arrest of two suspected ‘habitual criminals.’ At around 4am, several residents called 092 to report two men, covering their faces with helmets, were trying to steal the vehicle in Calle Competa. Officers were quickly on the scene, but on realising the game was up, the pair reportedly fled in different directions - one towards Portada Alta, the other towards the Teatinos neighbourhood. They were both eventually tracked down, and one resisted arrest. The second suspect was searched, and according to sources, was found to have two knives hidden under his clothes. Officers later discovered a third knife and a motorcycle jack and suspect the two detainees may be ‘habitual criminals’ responsible for other similar offences in the area.

CHILDHOOD obesity is a serious problem in Spain and initiatives like ‘Chefs for Children’ are trying to combat this. The solidarity project puts the focus on gastronomy and children so that from a young age they know the importance of eating healthily.

JOSÉ MIGUEL SANTOS, a teacher and school principal of the Missionary Crusaders of Malaga, was surprised to find the red carpet, used at the recently celebrated Goya awards, crumpled and discarded in a rubbish bin. A red carpet refers honour and prestige therefore only ‘dignitaries’ have a red carpet laid down to walk on. Dignitaries may include anyone from ambassadors, heads of state, royalty or movie stars. Or as in the case of the 2020 Goya Awards, Antonio Banderas, Penélope Cruz, Pedro Almodóvar to name but a few, so how is it that such an important symbol can be found in the garbage in less than 24 hours after its use. One single use. The discovery of the discarded red carpet together with other binned items such as part of the photo-call and stage decor has triggered a cry of outrage with some community members like the school principal who has posted the find on

Thirdly, thank you because with all that you have thrown away some.

Environmental awareness KEEN to encourage environmental awareness at an early age, Benalmadena mayor Victor Navas and Environment councillor Joaquin Villazon have taken part in a workshop at the La Leala school focused on green matters. “Conscious of the need and the importance of raising awareness among the very youngest about caring for the environment, the council organises these workshops so they can learn about the urgency of achieving a greener, more sustainable world, in which resources are used efficiently and without being squandered,” the mayor commented. “We are moving towards a future of caring for our natural environment, and it is a message which is more necessary than ever, especially in these times when denial in the face of a fact as evident as climate change has risen again,” Navas added. “To fight against climate change we have to have society committed to the maintenance and care of our natural environment, and the best way to do this is by raising awareness among the youngest: they are the future,” the mayor concluded. The Environment councillor explained the local authority organises two different workshops for schools: one on gardening for first-year pupils and one about recycling for year two children. “The most important is children are aware of the environment and recycling, and they contribute to the greater awareness of their parents,” Villazon said.

He went on to confirm that it was clear in the agreement with the EU that there will have to be some checks on goods being transported between the UK mainland and Northern Ireland. Although there is to be a general election in Ireland on February 8, Mr Varadkar is quite buoyant about being re-elected and being involved in ongoing trade negotiations and is meeting EU negotiator Michel Barnier in Dublin. Mr Varadkar believes that the British prime minster is greatly mistaken in believing that a trade deal will be possible to agree during 2020 and sees it taking longer. He explained that Europe is in the driving seat with a population of 450 million people and 27 countries against the UK and 60 million and therefore as in the FA Cup, the EU will field a much stronger team.

Mental health guide THE Andalucian Federation of Relatives and Persons with Mental Health Problems (FEAFES) has presented the Clinical Practice Guide for the treatment of Psychosis and Schizophrenia at the Association of Rel-
atives and Persons with Mental Health Problems of Malaga (AEFENES). Psychiatrist José María García-Herrera PérezBryan, accompanied by president of FEAFES Andalucía, Cristina González, and president of AFENES, Miguel Acosta, told attendees at the presentation that this guide “is important for family and professionals as it is intended to reduce variability so when a patient goes to a professional with a problem and then goes to another, both must inform and offer the same treatment.” This Clinical Practice Guide also offers information on what treatments are currently considered most efficient. “The professional is asked to inform the patient or family member of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the options to be treated. Thus, the professional and the patient decide together,” said the psychiatrist. The manual has three formats (complete, summarised and fast), but they include the same sections and ideas. An important aspect of this guide, in addition to the recommendations it hosts, is that in order to carry it out, a large number of users with psychotic or schizophrenic disorder and family members have participated.

We were greeted with a warm welcome, offered a selection of beverages and pastries which are made daily at the hospital, as well as a pack with information about the new unit. The conference began with the lovely María José Cañete (president) telling us about how she began her mission with Helicopteros Sanitarios in 1988, with a new and innovative idea for health care in Spain. Back then, nothing like this existed in Andalucia, with local emergency services not even having helicopters until 1992. The idea was to provide a private hospital, that gave a personal touch, and make the medical profession more ‘human.’ The Costa del Sol is a hugely international area, and Helicopteros wanted to provide a service like

those available in other parts of Europe. They are now leaders of emergency services and home assistance in Spain. Their team consists of over 200 highly qualified professionals, and has the advantage of a personalised service to their clients as well as having their very own helicopters, mobile intensive care units (ICUs), ambulances and other vehicles containing the most advanced med-
ical equipment. Their helicopter is further equipped with state-of-the-art electro-medical material. Dr Luis Iñigo then spoke briefly, and said how well he believed the company has done, and that the new unit was going to be fantastic with their dynamic team. The microphone was then passed over to Dr Pedro Brugada. He talked to us informatively about the superior level of cardiology which they had been able to bring in. Between the team, including himself, Dr Luis Iñigo and Dr Juan Sieira, they are able to cover every spectrum when it comes to their cardiology department. Each one forming an important pillar. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of deaths in Spain, with
more women being affected than men. Ischemic heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease are two diseases which produce a greater number of cardiovascular deaths. The new unit, is made up of a cardiology clinic, directed by Dr Zaya and focusing on diagnosing and treating, as well as prevention and rehabilitation of cardiovascular diseases. It also incorporates diagnostics via clinical imaging, coordinated by Dr Henrik Reinhard, who has cardio magnetic resonance and high resolution CT for CardioScore and coronary CT scans, as well as cardiac echocardiography. The arrhythmia and electrophysiology unit is headed by Professor Brugada. This integral service is completed with the haemodynamics
and arrhythmia unit, lead by Dr Luis Iñigo and Dr Eduardo Molina, as well as the department of cardiovascular surgery and vascular interventionism which Dr Aranda coordinates. The incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular conditions have lead cardiology and its related areas to huge developments in the last decade, which extends from prevention to diagnosis of potentially lethal genetic heart disease. We spoke to Dr Brugada personally, and he said he thought this new unit would have a huge impact on the local foreign community, as they have such advanced knowledge and technology, as well as such a personal touch, even including home visits to patients. They are an international team, who are always there, and can provide peace of mind. We also spoke personally to María José Cañete who told us the ‘Expat community’ has been overwhelmed with excitement, due to their team of the world’s best professionals, all in one team, which is sensational. There are so many heart related diseases, and these professionals are excited to be on-board with such an amazing project, using top, innovative machinery

FORMALISED: Global Ports Holding Plc now owns 20 per cent of the Malaga port’s cruise terminal.
Port shares sell for €1.5m THE port of Malaga has sold its 20 per cent share in the cruise terminal for €1.5 million. Five years after trying to offload its part in the joint venture, the authority has now formalised the sale of its share to Global Ports Holding Plc, reportedly the largest independent cruise port operator in the world. This week the CEO of GPH signed on the dotted line with the
other shareholder Creuers del Port de Barcelona SA. Creuers President, Emre Sayin, said he was delighted with the acquisition. He said the port facilities, hotels and the airport of Malaga make it a “world class international base port” and a “gateway to Andalucia that gives cruise passengers the opportunity not only to explore Malaga, but also this wonderful region.”
President of the Port Authority added that the acquisition is hugely important as it demonstrates the commitment of this large international company to the port of Malaga and its future. He said the move will allow the cruise terminal to increase it services, both to passengers and shipping companies to make Malaga a world cruise destination through the sustainable development of its activities.
A CROOK pretending to be a churchgoer was surprised by a local Parish Priest as he robbed. The alleged perpetrator was carrying a bible and a crucifix, pretending to be a parishioner whilst he went about robbing churches in Malaga. The National Police arrested the man in Malaga on January 21 for allegedly robbing several churches in the centre of the capital, according to reports from the provincial police station. The alleged perpetrator would enter the churches during opening hours, posing as a devout churchgoer carrying a bible and a crucifix, with the sole intention of finding the right time to take off with his booty without being discovered. Once inside the church he would hide in the toilets and change his clothing so as not to be recognised and wait for the place of worship to close to the public. When the church was closed to the public, the man would come out of hiding to go about with his crime unobserved, using force to access some areas and steal more than €700 worth of valuables and money. It would appear the individual was ‘careless’ during his last robbery as he left his jacket with mobile phone inside the church on a pew and the parish priest, on coming across it, immediately notified the police. The alleged perpetrator of the robberies in two churches in the centre of Malaga City has been arrested and identified as a 31-year-old Romanian national from Italy.

“We approached the approximate date of the event, in addition to agreeing the content that will be given to the schedule of the day, with the firm purpose of continuing to improve in each edition of ‘Día de la Juventud’,” said the councillor. In addition, the councillor informed the IAJ coordinator that from the Youth Delegation of Benalmadena a total of 237
youth cards have been processed during 2019, “a figure that we are very proud of: it is an aspect we work so that the services offered in the delegation are the best for our youth.” Ruiz recalled that the users of the Carnet Joven can enjoy all the activities of the area at a lower price, in addition to the discounts that other administrations make available to them.

TAX OBLIGATIONS FOR COMMUNITIES ALL communities of owners throughout Spain are obliged to make a simple declaration to the Spanish tax office of; any and all payments made to or received from, any one individual or company when the annual total is
equal to or exceeds, €3,005.06 in any one calendar year. This obligatory declaration (Royal Decree 828/2013) that came into force on January 1, 2014 is basically aimed at sifting
out those companies and individuals who are not declaring - and therefore not paying tax on - income they earn from the communities of owners and businesses with whom they conduct their business. Only transactions or purchases that are ‘equal to or exceed’ €3,005.06 (the equivalent of half a million pesetas) need be declared. This is not just for any one single transaction, but concerns the total annual amount paid to or received from any individual or company. The amount including IVA (VAT) broken down into quarterly totals, along with the supplier’s name, fiscal number and post code must be listed on a Modulo 347 (tax revenue form) and be submitted to the tax office between the first and last day of February. That is, the 2019 declaration must be submitted by the end of February 2020. The only exceptions for communities are payments

to; electricity, water and gas suppliers and insurance companies. It seems these enterprises are considered by the tax office to be conducting their business with the communities correctly, whereas everyone else it appears, is viewed with grave suspicion. Any supplier, who perhaps to lower costs, decides not to charge a community IVA but if the annual amount still exceeds €3,005.06 they must be included. It is the same with the different rates of IVA, some services and work incur 21 per cent IVA but others only 10 per cent, it depends on the nature of
the work etc. However it is the suppliers’ responsibility to see the IVA is paid and charged correctly not the communities, if not the supplier can be fined but interestingly enough not the community. However if the community tries to save money by making IVA free payments and then tries to hide it by not declaring the supplier on their Mod. 347 then the community can be fined and quite heavily too. Bear in mind, companies as well as communities will have to make their own Mod. 347 declarations to the tax office so there is an easy cross reference of who is and who is not doing things properly. Which is the fundamental purpose of the obligatory 347 declaration in the first place. If the total community expenditure on say, road repairs is just over the €3,005.06 in any one calendar year but paid to two separate maintenance companies then this does
not have to be declared. However a declaration is needed if a community for example has an unused concierge apartment and rents it out or has an investment or other income and if the rent or income received by the community (over the year) exceeds €3,005.06 then this has to be declared on the Mod. 347. If there are no incomes of this nature, then only the expenditure to individuals and companies (over €3,005.06) must be declared. There are serious fines for not complying with the regulations which means administrators must be very careful to ensure that community accounts are kept accurately. We the solicitors for Intercala administration recommend our readers to seek competent advice in all matters regarding the law and it may be worth ensuring in this case your community administrators are, up to the job professionals.

FOR LOVE OF THE GAME By Damon Mitchell
EURO WEEKLY NEWS had the pleasure of talking to British expat Sheila Clifford this week. Sheila is one of the only female members of the Walking Football League Spain and at 62 years old she is first to admit that her body feels a little slower. But her mind is well and truly in the game! Growing up in South London she considered herself a bit of a tomboy. She would rush home from school to play football with the boys on the council estate. Each block of flats would play against the other with the caretaker as referee, however, he wouldn’t let her play in the bigger games because she was a girl and in those day’s football was thought to be a boys sport. Being such a valued player her playmates even offered to pretend she was a boy, so she didn’t miss out. One day, she heard that they were holding trials for Chelsea women’s team and with her
Sheila (bottom row second left) with her Chelsea teammates. passion and skills she managed to get in, she enjoyed it so much she managed to talk her best friend into joining too. The team was unstoppable and used to train on Clapham Common and then Hackney Marshes. Sheila has many fond memories of her time with Chelsea but when asked by EWN of her proudest she said: “One that stands out is in my Chelsea days is when we played QPR’s A team in the five-a-side semi-final. QPR was

unbeatable every year, but we were youngsters and well-skilled we beat them, and we were so proud. We went on to play their B team in the final the next week and beat them too.” After a time she moved to Bournemouth and began working as a Drug and Alcohol Support Worker in the prison service. Her football career had gone on the back burner but here she found they had a Prison Service national team and her passion was reignited.
Why advertise with the Euro Weekly News online?
The team was invited to play in Australia in a worldwide championship that included players from all the emergency and prison services. Not only was it a trip of a lifetime but her team won the Gold medal. Sheila moved to Spain from Bermuda just over two years ago in September 2018. She now lives in Riogordo village, Malaga but unable to slow to a Spanish pace she wanted to find something to do with her time and keep her active.
Her friend Paddy recently introduced her to Walking Football which is aimed at people over 50 who want to continue to play the game they love but without the running and the contact involved with normal football. She trains with the players every Thursday and just played her first official match with team Aston Viñuela where she scored a goal for the winners. The club has allowed her to make new friends like her other female teammate Julie Pollitt and given them a social platform that includes the game they are so passionate about. Sheila is so passionate about the sport and plays in her favourite team’s colours, no not Chelsea blue but Manchester United red. She points out “I love football, playing it, watching it and can talking about it to anybody.” And goes on to say, “I don’t have any regrets but I wish I was born 40 years later. Look at it today there are so many opportunities for girls now.”

FITUR expects record number of visitors in its 40th edition.
UNDISPUTED LEADERSHIP FOR the first time in history Andalucia has reached the astronomical figure of 32.5 million tourists and exceeds the growth forecasts twofold, from 3 per cent to 6.1 per cent. The figures were attained in 2019 and now the goal is to make a major leap in quality and sustainability in 2020. This ‘historic’ figure was presented by the Andalucian president,
Juanma Moreno, and the vice president and Minister of Tourism, Juan Marin, at the opening of the Andalucian Pavilion at the International Tourism Fair (Fitur), which is being held as of last week in Madrid. Not even the Spanish Queen Letizia, who inaugurated the International Tourism Fair, wanted to miss out on all that the Andalucian community has to offer and leisurely strolled through all the stands of the different Andalucian provinces. Of those 32.5 million tourists last year, 20 million were national, an increase of 8.4 per cent, with foreign tourists making up the remaining 12.5 million, 2.5 per cent more. This data reflects the ‘undisputed leadership’ of Andalucia in the national tourism market, generating employment and wealth in the region. In fact, according to the data provided by the Andalucian government, on average, there are 420,000 employed per year in the tourism sector, with 2019 breaking records once more with a rise of 5.1 per cent. The President of the An-
dalucian government, Juanma Moreno, has stressed that “Andalucian tourism brings fuel to the economy and is pulling the employment bandwagon at national level.” The record-breaking stats promise an exciting year ahead. The forecast for 2020 is to exceed 33.7 million visitors in Andalucia. The key, as explained by Juan Marin, is to bet on quality and sustainability. “The future of tourism in Andalucia depends on quality and sustainability, and on offering visitors a diverse and select destination that knows how to combat seasonality and overcrowding and that bets on new technologies,” he said. Marin places emphasis on the commitment to the equestrian tourism as “It is a segment that has much appeal to markets that are important to us, such as the British and German.” Andalucia has the largest stand at Fitur, with more than 5,300 metres and a host of cultural, heritage, scenic and gastronomic proposals to promote the region.

PROMOTING GASTRONOMIC PRODUCTS: Positioning itself in this market before Brexit.
Taste of Malaga THE ‘Sabor a Malaga’ brand, created by the provincial council to promote Malaga’s gastronomic products, carries out various reinforcement actions for its promotion in the United Kingdom in order to position itself in this market before Brexit. The first vice president of the Diputacion de Malaga and person responsible for the area of Sustainable Economic Development, Juan Carlos Maldonado, said on Monday, that the disconnection between Great Britain and the European Union can be an “opportunity” to strengthen the trade balance of both territories. Maldonado explained that in 2018 Malaga exported €73 million to the United
Kingdom in tropical products, textiles or telecommunications, among others but imported €139 million, so it has considered that the trade balance is ‘deficit.’ He has warned that after the departure of the United Kingdom from the EU, Malaga products will have barriers to enter the country, so it is intended that the products of Malaga have a ‘preferential’ place for the British with respect to those of other competitors. He stressed that they are working with the British Consulate to promote the products of the province’s food brand in British fairs specialising in gastronomy and find distributors in the United Kingdom or propose policies to reduce tariffs with the United Kingdom.
Unemployment rise MALAGA closed 2019 with 10,800 more unemployed, a figure that separates the province from the positive trend marked in the whole of Andalucia and Spain, areas in which declines of 10,500 and 112,400 people have been registered during the last 12 months respectively. According to the official data of the Encuesta de Población Activa which the Instituto Nacional de Estadística published on Tuesday, the province closed the year with 139,800 unemployed, 647,900 workers and an unemployment rate of 17.75 per cent. The data has been collected at the end of a decade in which the labour market has been shaken by one of the greatest economic crises in history. Both the rebound in the number of unemployed and the current unemployment rate are still considerable measures but they are far from the data recorded, for example, in the first quarter of 2014, when one in three Malaga-born working age was unem-

At the beginning of the recession, at the end of 2008, 12 years have passed in which the unemployment rate in the province has not dropped by 20 per cent. Until the third quarter of 2018, the ratio did not lower that threshold. Since then, the unemployment rate has changed between 16.54 per cent registered at the end of the same year and 18.09 per cent in the third quarter of 2019.

Replacing a lost or expired British passport from Spain W I T H B re x i t p o s s i b l y a ro u n d t h e c o r n e r, i f y o u h a v e l e s s than six months life left on your passport it would be a good idea to renew sooner rather than later. Quite often when different official forms are digitalised, it becomes more rather than less confusing and you need to have a degree in programming in order to proceed. For once however, the British government has made things much easier and far less complicated in applying for a replacement passport if yours has been lost or is about to expire. No longer do you need to supply lots of forms including birth certificates and to have a photograph physically signed on the back by someone who knows you and it really is now quite easy if you have access to a computer. Very simply visit https://www.gov. uk/overseas-passports and you’re taken through the whole process step by step and the only drawback is that there isn’t a single page detailing everything including costs as you have to go through a page at a time. There is however a passports link which does give quite a lot of information on the website, but not everything. Even if you have lost or had your passport stolen, you are not precluded for applying online for a replacement, but you have to declare it lost in advance also online. As a real bonus you can now use digital photograph and there are quite explicit rules about what is acceptable as you navigate the website and whilst it may take a couple of attempts, provided you remove any glasses and stand in front of a
white background, a selfie taken with a phone will probably work ok. If you are not happy using a phone camera, then most towns have at least one print shop where they can photograph you and give you a digital image on a memory stick or card. As you progress through the procedure you will be best served by having access to details of your previous passport, but it isn’t actually essential and the site does report back to a human in the UK who can check. When you post your photograph, you will be asked to give details (including email address) of a person of standing who can confirm that they know you and that the photograph is of you. The whole process can take up to six weeks from start to finish and this will include delivery via courier to your address in Spain and you have to pay with a debit or credit card for the cost of the passport (depends upon number of pages) and courier fee at the time of submitting the application online. You will be sent a special code which will allow you to track your passport through all of its stages. In the event that you have lost your passport and need a temporary replacement, that can also be done online. It is more expensive than a normal passport, is usually good for one round trip only and will normally be issued by the British Consulate in Malaga. For those without computers, it is still possible to apply through the post and there are even different shops with English-speaking staff scattered around Spain where for a fee they will help you complete the forms and send them off for you.

WASHED UP: A two-week clean-up operation is underway in Mijas following Storm Gloria.
After Gloria AN estimated 300 tonnes of sea debris are expected to be cleared from the coastline in Mijas in the wake of last week’s storm Gloria. While the beaches were not the worst hit by the fierce winds and heavy rains in the Malaga Province, they did suffer a massive accumulation of reeds. Councillor for Tourism and Beaches, José Carlos Martín, told Mijas Communication that “although Mijas has not suffered such serious incidents as other parts of the province, we did suffer some consequences of the storm, such as the accumulation
of a huge amount of reeds, that come, mainly, from the Fuengirola River, to our coast.” Some 14 km of Mijas coastline was affected, so this week, the council despatched more than 100 personnel from the Complementary Services of the Department of Beaches, to clean the coast. There are areas which the heavy industrial vehicles used cannot reach, such as the beach at Faro, so these must be cleaned manually. Councillor of Cleaning and CEO of Mijas Complementary Services, thanked everybody involved in the clean-up op-
eration, and said “the work they are doing since the storm is a very arduous and laborious task.” The project is expected to take two weeks so that the coastline is ready to “welcome all visitors who wish to take advantage of the good weather that is planned.” It was added that the action is not only beneficial from a tourist point of view, but also on an environmental level, so that the various animal species that live on the coast “can return to procreate.” The rods and reeds collected will be transferred to the Mijas Recycling Plant.
Hospital full up THE worker’s union UGT has criticised the saturation of the Emergency Department of the Regional Hospital of Malaga. The union pointed out that on Tuesday during the three o’clock shift there were nine patients above the optimal number waiting to enter observation in room 1 and four patients in room number 2; making a total of 13 patients waiting to be treated. UGT warns that this situation continues despite the 42 new beds that the Andalucian Health Service (SAS) opened last month to respond to the flu pandemic. The union also noted that patients with Influenza were waiting to be treated in armchairs in the waiting room, without
being isolated from the rest of the patients and their companions, increasing the possibility of spreading the virus. These complaints arrive after the CSIF recently uncovered waits of up to 58 hours and that seven added stretchers were placed in the corridors of the Emergency Department of the Clinical Hospital. Although sources from the hospital had said the situation was ‘completely normal and no patient waited for an excessive number of hours’ they have now indicated that ‘we are in a period of high frequency. As there is an increase in the assistance needed for patients.’ at the emergency points as a result of influenza, seasonal viruses and the decompensation of pluripathological patients".

There are three groups which are relevant and you only need submit the declaration for any group where your assets exceed the €50,000 limit. THE three groups are: • Bank Accounts which are already open, or for which you are already an account holder during the year which corresponds to the declaration. The valuation should be based on whichever is the highest the balance as at December 31 or the average balance for the last quarter of the year. • All types of financial assets which includes information on securities, assets, shares or amounts representing the capital stock of all types of companies, or the transfer of capital to third parties held abroad, as well as life insurances for which the individual is the beneficiary and annuities or temporary income of which they are the bene-

listing assets owned in the previous year and you do not have to submit further forms unless: • Any of the three groups have increased in value by €20,000 or more.
• You are no longer the owner of the assets due to sale or transfer (even if disposed of at a loss). • You previously didn’t have assets to the value of €50,000 in any one or more of the three groups, but an increase in value during the year has taken the asset value over the €50,000 threshold. There are quite heavy fines for those who knowingly or unknowingly don’t submit this form to the authorities and the form itself is relatively complicated, so in the first instance it may be advisable to take professional advice concerning completion.

Bookworms in Arroyo THE Arroyo de la Miel Public Library has been recognised as the third busiest in Andalucia in the number of books lent out during 2019, with a record 70,901 books and audio visual items being borrowed. Considering there are 700 libraries in the Province and it was only beaten by the Provincial Libraries of Sevilla and Granada, this has to be recognised as a significant achievement. There is a very diverse range of interest, but most of the loans were for books, with 38 per cent being children’s books and 13 per cent in languages other than Spanish. As expected, the most borrowed books were Spanish-language novels, Homeland by Fernando Aramburu, and Sabotage by Arturo Pérez Reverte although The disappearance of Stephanie Maier by Swiss writer Joël Dicker came in third.
SpongeBob goes to the doctor was the book most called for by those under 14, with 47 loans throughout the year, and The Valley of the Wolves by Laura Gallego was the most borrowed teen novel. Digital books are also now available via the eBiblio Andalucia platform but in this category, the town fell back to 13th place in Andalucia. The busiest month is January as University exams take place in the last week of January and first week of February, but overall the library welcomed 206,124 visitors during the year. It’s not just books as the library offers free internet access, either through Wi-Fi or via the eight computers on the premises and also hosts a number of different workshops, reading clubs and storytelling which attract people of all ages, sexes and nationalities.
Easier access in town THE Benalmadena Council has a programme to make the municipality more user friendly for those with reduced mobility to help them as they walk through the town. To this end, they are removing kerbs and clearing uneven surfaces at pedestrian crossings and their latest action included four such crossings along Avenida del Parque with other similar works to follow.

Visit to Vodafone offices TAKING advantage of a trip to Madrid to represent Benalmadena at the Fitur Tourism Exhibition, mayor Victor Navas accompanied by representatives of local company Innoben, visited the Vodafone Business Experience Centre. Following the visit, the mayor said that the council wanted the municipality to be at the forefront of data mining and collecting data so was interested in working with a large organisation in the sector of technological innovation and telecommunications,. The new option to utilise ‘Big Data’ which is a form of complex analysis to allow information to be extracted from numerous sources has meant that Benal-
madena has a much better understanding of a number of important tourist trends including visitors tastes and preferences, their origins, their reasons for choosing the town and why they might come back. Coupled with this is the ability to study the reputation of hotels and tourist establishments and to learn for the future how to adapt to meet visitors needs and expectations. During their visit they discovered an app that detects the actual number of those living in the municipality, through the analysis of information from smart-phones. This is the sort of technology which would allow the council to discover the number of unregistered residents.

Reduce, reuse and recycle IN recognition of World Environmental Education Day which was celebrated on Sunday January 26, the Fuengirola Council held their own special event on the following day which attracted hundreds of schoolchildren and their parents to the Plaza de España. The first of a number of events started at 10.30am where the Auluga Association promoted the concept of the Three Rs (reduce, reuse and when possible recycle) with a collection of printer cartridges which could be refilled. Following this was a further demonstration by the association concerning recycling as well as an Oceanographic workshop, taught by staff of the Oceanographic Institute of Fuengirola. Later in the day, a conference explaining the importance of recycling was held in the town hall as well as a second entitled Climate change and plastics in our seas, which will be hosted by M Carmen García, a biologist from the Spanish Oceanographic Institute. The entire event was organised by the local Department of Urban Ecology with a view to raising public awareness of the need for environmental change and the fact that schools allowed so many children to attend obviously impressed the local students.
in each hall will be able to hear all that is going on clearly and without distortion.
Signs have been erected to indicate areas in which the loop works and there are a number of seats which will be sure to be perfect for those who need the hearing boost. The mayor, Ana Mula said, when launching this new development, that her administration has done a great deal to ensure that the town offers equality for all residents and visitors which is why it has promoted beach accessibility for all, pedestrian crossings adapted for those with visual impairment and most recently children’s playgrounds which can cater for everyone regardless of their disability.
Vive Fuengirola con Amor WINTER can often be a quiet time for hospitality businesses especially on the Costa del Sol with the dramatic reduction in tourist visitors which means that local resident spend becomes much more important. The Fuengirola Council is very aware of this and has launched its Vive Fuengirola con Amor initiative, which was first revealed last week with a photographic competition to run around and during St Valentine’s Day. The next step sees 172 different establishments, consisting of retail businesses, hotels and restaurants, all of which will be unveiling special offers to run from February 7 to 16 and it will be easy to recognise those taking part as they will all have special identification on their windows. More than 120 shops will offer discounts of up to 70 per cent on selected items and some will be creating couples’ packages which will be ideal Valentine’s gifts to share. Thirty-six restaurants are creating special lovers’ menus at reasonable prices which will be on offer each day of the promotion rather than just February 14 and 13 hotels are putting together promotional packages which they hope will attract romantic couples to enjoy the town. Many of those taking part have donated gifts to the council which will be used as prizes in a number of events which are being planned and as participating businesses come from all over Fuengirola, no matter which part you visit, there is bound to be somewhere promoting Vive Fuengirola con Amor.

TO coincide with Andalucia Day which is on Friday February 28 this year, many schools celebrate Semana Blanca and close to give children the opportunity to enjoy some winter sports and adventures. The Albergue Entrerrios Hostel which is about eight kilometres above Mijas and is managed by the Mijas Council will be accepting enrolment for children aged between four and 15 years of age to take part in its programme of a multitude of activities related to environmental awareness, nature and animal care. For the whole season, its

youngsters and applications for children to be involved may be made from Monday February 3 at the Department of Hostels, the library in Mijas Pueblo or the Cultural Centre in La Cala. For more information call 951 063 399.
DRIVERS who were trying to reach Coin from Fuengirola during the worst of the recent bad weather found that the road was eventually closed to cars. They were surprised however to discover that they weren’t the only users of the road as they came across a family of wild boar who had obviously decided that they didn’t like the weather and were heading towards the coast in the hope of a warmer climate and possibly a bite to eat. The animals quite happily ignored the cars and carried on their journey, stopping from time to time to search for food.

The family of wild boar on the move.
Growing and planting AS a large number of members of the public spent their time at the weekend putting in plants and trees in the hills above Mijas, the Parks and Gardens department confirmed its commitment to removing invasive species and replanting with native vegetation. During 2019, the municipal nursery produced 1,774 plants including shrubs and trees and already this year, the number has been increased by a further 520. Under existing local
legislation, the council is required to do what it can to remove ‘foreign’ vegetation and to replace it with local species not only for the good of the environment but in order to balance the ecology of the area. The council is working in plots, gardens, municipal green areas and along the coastal strip and has to take into account when invasive trees in particular are felled, new trees are planted to ensure that no benefit is lost to the community.
Work doesn’t just take place on introduced species but some local trees need to be culled because of poor or dangerous condition as the council has an obligation to safeguard local residents as well as those simply walking along the streets. By growing as many plants and trees as possible, the council is able to do its bit to alleviate global warming and to save funds for local residents by not purchasing significant numbers of plants.
Upgrading playgrounds A TENDER with a value of €192,000 has been issued by the Mijas Council asking for bids to renew the rubber covering on all of the children’s playgrounds in the municipality. According to a statement by councillor for Parks and Gardens, Verónica Ensberg and councillor for Contracts Roy Pérez, time and constant use have meant that the existing areas have simply worn out and have the potential to be dangerous. They no longer look as they should and the council is very aware of its obligations to ensure all users of the
playgrounds (some of whom may be physically challenged) are able to do so without any fear of injury. The work is expected to take some considerable time but the Department of Parks and Gardens will decide the order of repair of the playgrounds in Las Lagunas, Mijas Pueblo and La Cala based on the actual wear and tear observed by officials. It is hoped that local firms will respond to the tender so that the money spent goes towards helping Mijas business, although much will depend upon price and ability to undertake the work.

Old building to be renovated A BUILDING permit has been issued by the Marbella Council to allow for the refurbishment of the historic building of La Fonda in the Casco Antigua at a cost estimated at €2.8
million. This old building situated in Plaza Santo Cristo which has seen much better days was an iconic part of Marbella history but sadly started to decay.
Now it is planned that after the facelift it will become a boutique hotel with a new restaurant which is likely to appeal to the type of tourist that the city is looking to attract. Whilst the council was anxious to see the building return to its previous glory and to become a major attraction in the old town, it was necessary for the company wishing to undertake the work to give a number of commitments and the plans also had to be approved by the Junta de Andalucia. Now that everything is agreed, work can start at the property which covers almost 1,500 square metres and will generate work for local companies in the reconstruction and then ongoing jobs once the hotel and restaurant are opened.

Fire protection agreement SINCE 2014, the Marbella Council and Malaga Provincial Firefighters Consortium have worked together to allow firefighters from Marbella to offer assistance to the municipalities of Ojen, Istan and Benahavís in the case of emergencies. The councillor for Public Safety, José Eduardo Díaz, and the deputy and president of the Firefighters Consortium, Manuel Marmolejos met in the Marbella fire station to discuss the future renewal of this agreement and to consider other issues related to training,
communications and prevention. Both parties agreed that this was a very workable arrangement and that there was a magnificent relationship between the administrations which meant that residents in the three municipalities were safer than if they were without the assistance from Marbella. The problems of the major fires last summer in Estepona highlighted the need for good working relationships which made for a more effective response when major problems arose.

AS previously reported, the postponed technical meeting between the governments of Gibraltar, the United Kingdom and Spain for the purpose of discussing the implementation of the Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) agreed under the Withdrawal Agreement was held in Madrid. These MoUs cover Citizens’ Rights, Police and Customs Cooperation and the Environment and will apply from the beginning to the end of the implementation period set out in the Withdrawal Agreement, expected to be from February 1 to December 31, 2020. It is confirmed that during this period EU law will continue to apply to Gibraltar in the same way as it has applied until now, including in relation to free movement and border fluidity as agreed in EU regimes.

It was agreed that the first round of meetings of the Committees formed to oversee the Withdrawal procedures will take place in Algeciras towards the end of February, but this has drawn criticism from Gibraltar’s immediate neighbours in La Linea de la Concepcion as their council has not been involved in any of the discussions. Indeed Ascteg, the Association for Spanish Workers in Gibraltar has said that it is outraged that
the meeting should take place in Algeciras which has few workers travelling into Gibraltar and they cannot understand why the Campo de Gibraltar Brexit office should also be situated there when La Linea was a more sensible choice. La Linea mayor Juan Franco has decided to take a diplomatic tone in this matter as he clearly wants to see local workers protected, but doesn’t want to upset the mandarins in Madrid.
IN the early hours of the morning of January 22 whilst carrying out a routine patrol in Gibraltar territorial waters, officers from the Customs Marine Section engaged in a chase of a suspect vessel loaded with tobacco. The small speedboat approximately 5.5 metres in length, made numerous evasive manoeuvres before HMC Tango 1 was able to intercept it. Two other suspect vessels believed to be involved in illicit tobacco activity tried to assist the small speedboat to make its escape and the occupants were able to escape by land. When customs officers confiscated and boarded the small speedboat, the other two vessels rammed it and attacked the officers, hitting an officer on the shoulder. An individual on one of the vessels then threatened the officers, making comments about a weapon and acting as if he had a firearm by pointing both his hands towards them. The two suspect vessels then attempted to ram HMC Seeker and HMC Tango 1, causing both suspect vessels to collide and one of the individuals to fall overboard. The suspects managed to retrieve the individual from the water and made their escape into Spain but customs officers managed to retain 1,500 cartons of cigarettes and paraphernalia related to tobacco smuggling. Within a few days of this seizure, but not because of it, the duty on cigarettes was increased by 5p per packet.

New UK overdraft rates WHEN you consider that the Bank of England Base Rate is just 0.75 per cent and savers are doing well to obtain interest at 3 per cent, consumers must be wondering how the High Streets banks can justify introducing new overdraft rates of almost 40 per cent! The Financial Conduct Authority instructed the banks to be more transparent with charges for unau thorised overdrafts and accepted that there might be some need to increase approved overdraft rates but apparently relied on the expec tation that banks would be com petitive keeping down costs.
NEW RATES: Banks could be on to another good thing
Unemployment down in 2019 THE latest survey on employment in Spain, published by the National Statistics Institute, showed that by the end of 2019 unemployment had dropped to 13.78 per cent, the lowest annual fig-
ure since 2008. With the creation of 402,300, the total number unemployed in Spain is now 3,191,900 but the 2019 new jobs total is the lowest since 2014 and a large amount
still encompasses temporar y jobs based on the run up to Christmas. Andalucia has seen the largest fall in unemployment with 41,900 people finding jobs.
They are now surprised to dis cover that the majority of banks have settled on an annual rate of between 39 and 40 per cent and have asked the banks to explain their thinking behind both the charges and the lack of competi tion. In addition, they have asked how the banks will deal with those who are worse off under the new sys tem and their response will be awaited urgently by those who may be affected. When many banks introduced daily charges it was clear that there was an overall increase to the con sumer and now if these new rates go through unchanged, an autho rised overdraft is likely to be more expensive than using a credit card. Whilst there may be savings for those who used unauthorised over drafts, it is estimated that around 19 million people who have ac counts with UK banks have autho rised overdrafts and it could mean that they will be paying £400 (€450) interest on every £1,000 (€1,150) they borrow from the banks.

BUSINESS EXTRA 5G CHINESE telecoms firm Huawei will be allowed to take a limited role in the creation of UK 5G networks despite demands from the USA that they be banned from involvement. Republicans suggest this may hurt potential US/UK trade deals.
Car share SPANISH car share business Emov, which runs mainly electric cars in Madrid has revealed in its latest returns that it lost €2.6 million in 2018, following a 2017 loss of €1.5 million. A new Portuguese venture cost €1 million.
Super saver SAINSBURY’S, Britain’s second largest supermarket chain has pledged to spend £1 billion (€1.15 billion) in order to ensure that by 2040, its net carbon emissions are reduced to zero, but this does not cover the emissions produced by its suppliers.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT IF the UK doesn’t grow some cahonies and get a grip it will drown under a suffocating morass of political correctness from which it will never emerge again. This latest directive truly does take the whole tin. The utterly common sense starved British plod, is now encouraging members of the public to report ‘hateful white people, even if they have committed no crime’! They have actually released a short cartoon video, which depicts a number of extreme acts by snarling white thugs as examples of the ‘hate’ they consider unacceptable. One shows a man pulling off a Muslim woman’s hajib. Another depicts a crew cut individual abusing a black shopkeeper and a further example demonstrates a crestfallen black schoolboy being refused permission to board a bus. Can’t these naive morons get

BRITISH PLOD: Have released a short cartoon video.
into their thick, left wing biased mentality, that this ‘cartoon’ is in itself reverse racism at its very worst? Can they also not understand quite how open to abuse a directive of this nature can be? This is an invitation for all ethnic minorities to report
the white population for just about anything they consider not quite to their liking. An opportunity to create a positive tsunami of time wasting frivolous racist accusations. How long before the complaints begin to pour in that
someone felt they were, looked at in a ‘wrong way’ or ‘bumped into’ purposely? We already had the case of the Muslim person who considered a driver honked his horn aggressively. That accusation could be considered a near homicide compared to the level of nonsense claims that could now almost certainly descend on the authorities. Can our esteemed snowflake appeasers also not understand that rubbish of this ilk drives even more of a wedge between the beleaguered indigenous population and its ethnic counterparts; pushing them even further apart? And what about the other way around? What about the highly objectionable verbal accusations of being ‘privileged white men,’ publicly voiced by black lady TV panellists of late? I don’t hear anyone complaining about these blatant racist outbursts. Well of course
not. Can’t upset the minorities can we? Thank the Lord that with my choice of residence I don’t have to put up with it all. Mind you, only last week I was actually told to ‘go back to my own country.’ Although I am aware that there are recourses in Spain for this type of behaviour, I simply shrugged it off as an ignorant isolated remark. A brainwashed UK citizen would probably have run crying to the authorities and got the perpetrator six months! Fortunately Spain has got its priorities right. Not a great deal of ‘nanny state’ nonsense over here, I’m delighted to say. What a shame the country I love has got it all so wrong, and allowed the snowflakes and ‘wokers’ to bring it to its knees. Live on air Friday 1pm till 3pm. Spanish time. Google ‘ExPat radio.UK.’ And a Happy Brexit to you all! Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com.

“I am so grateful to be sober – and that my life’s worth something again” FORMER police officer Niall, now 60, lived a life of drinking and cheating in his marriages. Until one day he was given a final ultimatum that totally transformed his life… “I worked in the Royal Navy, the police and for the ambulance service. I married at 18 and had a son. As a father I was useless, more interested in myself, and so I neglected my responsibilities. My childhood was unhappy. Many nights I sat outside pubs listening to my parents living it up inside. Aged 12, they broke up. I stayed with my father in London - an easy choice as I al-
ways felt a failure around my mother and she never said she loved me. I just wanted to grow up quickly and get away, so I no longer felt different, less than and not part of anything: a massive hole in an unhappy life. I was drinking regularly from about 12, and even by my early days in the Navy I was told by an officer that my drinking was a concern. I took no notice. In fact, I drank throughout my working life, everything revolved around it. I stank of booze most days. During my marriages I had a number of affairs and sex became a drug as well. I didn’t care who I hurt as long as I felt better,
although I remember little as my blackouts were regular. I could turn anything into an addiction, including gambling on fruit machines. Inside, I hated myself and drank more to try dealing with that. I never thought at any time I had a problem. But one day my second wife said if I didn’t sort out my drinking she was leaving. She gave me the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) number. The man I spoke to visited me and we chatted for six hours. I heard that he used to drink like me, but had been sober for nearly 50 years now! I walked unsteadily into my first AA meeting and don’t remember
much of what was said - but was shocked to see happy faces and people who were welcoming and loving. I knew I’d found somewhere safe, where I belonged. Nobody judged, we were equals with the same disease - and so my recovery began that day in 2012. Since then I have never had another drink. Nowadays I actually like the person I see in the mirror. The only requirement to visit an AA meeting is a desire to stop drinking. If you feel you want help, call the confidential helpline, just like I did several years ago. Then you will know that you’re not alone.”
AA is located along the entire Costa del Sol and there is a meeting with friendly people who will understand your problems somewhere near you every day. Call the AA helpline for support: 600 379 110. Visit the website for help and information: www.aacostadelsol.com

PODCASTS & PLAYLISTS FOR POOCHES 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
THE world’s largest audio streaming company, Spotify, has launched five-hour aural experiences to alleviate stress for dogs while their owners are at work. ‘My Dog’s Favourite Podcast’ includes messages of comfort and reassurance (recorded by actors) such as: ‘I’d stay here and stroke you all day long if I could.’ And: ‘It makes me so happy to start the day off seeing your happy face.’ Plus: ‘You just take it easy today. This is your chance for some well-earned me time.’ Spotify is also launching a Pet Playlists feature based on a user’s musical tastes and their animal’s personality. In other words, users who say their cat is shy and withdrawn will be recommended different songs from those who say their pet is active.
Personally, someone saying: ‘You just take it easy today. This is your chance for some well-earned me time’ is not what I like to hear on podcasts, but I suppose a dog’s tastes are quite different! I’d imagine enthusiastic assurances about how ‘tasty’ their supper will be would be more effective (as long as it doesn’t sound too much like a script for a Donald Trump pep rally. Talking of whom, considering that my frying pan needs replacing, does anyone know where his Teflon coating comes from?). And another thought. Wouldn’t natural sounds make lonely dogs feel happier, rather than unfamiliar actors’ voices? A neighbour tried similar stress-alleviation videos for cats on YouTube on their moggies. After a few minutes they lost interest and sloped off in such a low energy way they could win a climate change award. I wonder what effect playing YouTube has on dogs? As for my parents’ dogs, leaving Radio 3 switched on worked a treat. PET PLAYLIST: Based on an animal’s personality.
They (the dogs, that is) preferred that to the endless adverts on Classic FM. But as for the rest of it - aromatherapy, mental health therapy and general canine counselling well, they’d tell you that’s: ‘barking mad. What a load of Shih Tzu.’ And as for me, a few minutes of the Shipping Forecast and I’m out like a light... Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘Betrayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.net) available online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback and audiobook.

Internet Safety Corner What you need to know about ‘IoT’ and how it could affect you
INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) devices and gadgets are increasingly creeping to the top of the wish lists for Christmas presents, birthday gifts and others are simply saving up to get some of these great devices. IoT devices cover a massive variety of primarily ‘connected’ devices from Laptops, Home Automation, TVs, Speakers, Health & Fitness gadgets and Sensors to drones or even connected toys. Many of us love the idea of having cool gadgets we can connect to the internet, but do we all know how they work or what vulnerabilities we could be exposed to? IoT (Internet of Things) devices. It is impossible to list the
amount and variety of IoT devices available today in the marketplace. From wearable gadgets, connected fridges, home automation sensors, cameras, smartphones, tablets to media players and all kinds of gadgets we can connect to the internet. Each one of these IoT devices is engineered and designed to somehow ‘make life better’ and the chances are their good intentions are 100 per cent legitimate. The problem is that in this price competitive field, there are thousands of different electronic components that can be chosen by the manufacturers to build their devices. Some have huge budgets to run se-
curity checks but others do not. The bottom line is that our IoT devices may have electronic components which may or may not have known vulnerabilities. Once your cool gadget is ‘connected’ to your network it may perform just as expected, but if you are unlucky, it could also be a ‘trojan horse’ inside your network! What damage can this do? No matter how much effort you have put into building yourself a nice and secure network, it takes just one ‘cool gadget’ to create a vulnerability which could be harmless or become a serious problem. For example, you buy a nice and cheap smoke sensor online for your home and you
connect it to your WiFi so it can alert you anytime. If you are unlucky, this smoke sensor could have exploitable electronic components which might be known to hackers and keep a ‘door open’ to your network. This could allow a hacker to access your home network through the smoke sensor to then have access to files on your computers or even view video footage of your webcam. If you have home automation devices, a hacker could disable alarms or sensors. The damage ranges from loss of privacy to stealing data or access to your property. What can you do to reduce the risks? As usual, the chances are
very low that you could be a target for any kind of ‘hacking’ even if you did have an IoT device with a security vulnerability, but it is important you have at least some kind of idea of how they work and how it could affect you. We would recommend you purchase IoT devices from manufacturers you feel you can trust, companies who have cutting edge safety and security procedures and invest heavily in production. The truth is this is all still too new to know for sure, so think about what you buy, if you really need it, if they really need to be connected and if you feel you can trust the company who manufactured it!
We sincerely hope this information was useful and we look forward to sharing some more tips with you in due course. Article by: Mike from Direct Telecom
Too much choice of everything MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’VE never been much use at DIY. In fact, I can just about spell it! One of the reasons is all the tools you need. A perfect example of this is screwy things and my major problem is why can’t there be just one type? Let me explain. One of the folding handles on my wheelchair became loose and fell out. I found it, put it back in and went to get my Swiss army knife which is my entire tool kit. I then found it needed something called an Allen key which was obviously invented by some geezer called Allen. I just googled it and it was! Anyway, I didn’t have one or anything that would tighten up this thing. Which made me think, why do we have to have so many different heads on these bolts and screws? There is Phillips, posidrive, flat head, Allen what’s the point? Why not just have one? Do we really need bugle heads, round head, pan head, button head and, of course, my personal favourite
the flange head. I’m sure some expert will tell me it’s all about torque, but la la la la I’m not listening. There is too much choice of everything. Take coffee - all you need is black or white not 12 varieties that Starbucks do. And, for sure, why do we need a coffee called Kopi Luwak which is made from... wait for it cat poo! All the poncey names too. All of a sudden Doris the tea lady has become a Barista. I thought that was someone who defended you in court when you have been knicked. I don’t know what’s happening with government run stuff here. I still haven’t got my Spanish driving licence which I applied for last May. So technically I can’t drive anywhere except Spain. Tried to book my car in for ITV and was told it might get done in March even though it runs out end of January. Surely it can’t all to be to do with Brexit? I’ve been watching the Trump impeachment on TV and find it fascinating. I also listen to him speak and read his Twitter rants. And that’s what they are - Fox fed rants. I still can’t understand how anyone can really believe he is the greatest POTUS ever, but they do. Just remember whether Trump is found guilty or not - he’s guilty!

SCOOTER MADNESS DEAR Euro Weekly, I am writing to you regarding electric scooters, which are all the trend right now. They are dangerous things that shouldn’t be allowed. If you allow them on the pavements you get people with serious injuries and the drivers facing jail time. If you allow them on the roads, you get accidents and people on scooters getting killed. It’s a lose-lose situation either way. I don’t think bike lanes are a good idea either, apart from the fact that people on scooters seem set on disobeying the law. The only viable solution is a lane specific to scooters, and I can assure you tax payers don’t want to finance that! For now, the simplest resolution is to ban them completely. Of course, they aren’t our biggest problem, but they are a problem. Let’s get rid of them once and for all, please! Tony Richards Torrox Costa
No need for weed EURO WEEKLY, There is an issue that needs to be addressed by all of us. Marihuana is a powerful drug that is absolutely rampant in most countries. In the UK it’s also a big problem, although maybe its consumption is more private than here in Spain. I live close to the centre of Alicante and I smell it almost every time I’m out and about. I’m not condemning the use of marihuana in any way, and I believe that it can be good for things like Parkinson’s. But there needs to be control over the use of this powerful drug. At what point did smoking marihuana become normalised? It’s not the same as smoking a cigarette and we need to remind the younger generation of this. Governments need to step their game up and put laws in place that can control the situation. In this day and age, it should be possible to stop the crime and devastation surrounding this drug. Frustrated, Alicante
ELECTRIC SCOOTERS: Let’s get rid of them once and for all!
Joining together DEAR EWN I’m glad that as a mostly British community we are also getting stuck in with our Spanish compatriots. In Costa Blanca in Orihuela we are now battling the new multilingualism laws that have been approved for the upcoming school year. As parents, we are pretty worried how this will affect our children. My wife and I have two children in school who speak Spanish almost
HAVE YOUR SAY
fluently, but barely any Valencian. Classes in Valencian would be very hard for them, and me and my wife already discussed moving them to a British school. Despite these struggles, the recent protests have been really nice for us in the community. As we all joined together to fight this ludicrous law, my family and I felt very much part of the Orihuela community! Ed Thomas, Orihuela

Awards season THIS week, Deborah Dugan, the former CEO of the Recording Academy, the body that oversees the Grammy Awards, filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer days ahead of the annual ceremony. It included allegations of gender discrimination, and corruption, casting a shadow of doubt and mistrust on the award system revered as music’s highest honour. Dugan mentions in her claims that huge worldwide artists of colour such as Beyoncé, Kanye West, and Mariah Carey, were snubbed in previous years, and that the biggest awards tend to go to rock, country, and pop artists. She then outlined how the Grammy voting process is allegedly tainted. Submissions for awards are initially voted on by members of the Academy, however, once these nominations are whittled down, the board promotes artists they have relationships with, and ‘manipulates the nominations process’ to include artists they want to perform during the ceremony. In her legal filing, Dugan blamed the ‘boys’ club’ mentality of executives as influential factors that were ultimately reflected in the voting process for annual Grammy nominations. During Dugan’s short time as CEO of the Academy, she was adamant about making changes to address public concern that the Grammys were becoming outdated and failed to showcase a more diverse pool of musicians. The Recording Academy denied the rigging accusations in a statement saying, “Spurious allegations claiming members or committees use our process to push forward nominations for artists they have relationships with are categorically false, misleading and wrong.” With shadows cast over many of these long-running awards ceremonies can they ever go back to awards for pure merit?

MARBELLA MOMENTS
30 Jan - 5 Feb 2020
Keeping up with tradition
BY NICOLE KING I HEARD that Burns Night was coming up and also how quickly these privately organised events across our city sell out, which is why I was delighted to be invited by ‘Lord and Lady Kayll’ and not miss out again. I had a really fun evening: all my dining companions were more than entertaining as was the poetry, traditional songs, pomp and ceremony. Campbell did the immortal memory speech and the Selkirk grace in Gaelic! Jerry was responsible for the most singular address to the haggis, which he then stabbed. He was also responsible for the address to the lassies at which point the men stood up, raised their glasses and toasted the women present. It was quite fitting that it was Lynda Woodin who got to represent us girls in the official reply. There was a raucous feel to
EWN 59
BURNS NIGHT: Paying tribute to the National Bard of Scotland. the whole evening encouraged undoubtedly by Leslie Thomson on the bagpipes that kept the Scottish theme at the forefront, intermittent with Jon’ songs that similarly had everyone rocking from side to side in their chairs, arms in the air and whisky in hand. Others actually got up and jigged. I loved all the guys in kilts too!! There is truly nothing like a man
in uniform, even if it is a kilt, as you can see from the photo! Thanks to this event I also took the time to find out what Burns Night is all about. It’s amazing how ignorant ‘one’ can be. In case there’s anyone else out there who thought it was a Scottish take on bonfire night, it’s not. It’s a day to pay tribute to Robert Burns, the National Bard - poet - of Scotland.
Each year on January 25 since 1801, Scots around the world gather and basically have the time of their lives from my experience! Burns is mostly renowned for his poetry, but apparently he wrote even more songs than poems, one of the most emblematic being Auld Lang Syne. It’s cool to have reason to learn more about one another.
We could all learn so much more with just a little effort and I don’t just mean on a cultural level. Apart from the excellence of the event I think it also worthy to comment on the exceptional coordination once again of The Hogan Stand owners and team to ensure the perfect night for their guests. Many a restaurant could learn a thing or two from their exceptional value for money, great food and service, which is always friendly no matter how many people they’re serving! As a final anecdote to Burns Night being surrounded by so many men in kilts, ‘one’ had to ask, not that I think I really wanted to know, what they were wearing underneath. Even the kilted Swede in the group assured me that this is a trade secret, in true keeping with tradition.

TIME OUT
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) When it comes to throwing wobblers, please don't. It is so important this week to stay cool and unruffled. Change nothing that you can avoid changing. Even having discussions about change can set your nerves jangling.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) This month, there is much to be celebrated. So much has happened in the latter part of the year. Certainly, congratulations are in order. When you have made such an effort and are rewarded for it, the satisfaction level is high. Be aware, though, that someone close also needs to feel that there is progress.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) The importance of making the right choices is clear to you. Where to begin seems to be a sticking point. Starting by taking away the things you really do not want is essential. Be practical and logical. This is not a time for sentiment or muddled thinking. Although you will need patience in abundance as the week progresses, take one thing at a time.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you have the feeling that younger members of the family are not interested in your point of view, this is far off the mark. They, in their inexperience, may not know how best to approach you in this regard. Getting out family photos or starting a family tree with them can be both entertaining and fascinating.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The prospect of travel sets you thinking. Have you been spending too much time considering others? Should you take steps now to get time alone then these plans cannot be changed. This will save any discussions as to how or when.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With the best will in the world it is only possible to spend money once. We are all guilty of trying to get over this truth, but it never works. Have patience when looking to improve your possessions. There are more pressing needs and these, in the long run, prove more satisfying.
‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Going over old ground is counter-productive. There is nothing to be gained from repeating methods that did not work in the past. If it is not possible to find a fresh approach then seek the opinions of others. You do not need experience of a situation to be able to come up with a useful idea. Staying in the same old rut has not served you in the past and will not do so now.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Getting together with others to entertain is sure to be successful after the 26th. Before that there may be some irritations, particularly with people who refuse to be positive and make decisions. Those moving house or going on a journey need a lot of patience, and forward planning is essential.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is an important week for both your physical health and your mental well-being. Because of things beyond your control, you may have let your diet or exercise slip. Having sorted out any problems that side-tracked you, there is a need to be particularly strong.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) This is a week to let yourself be heard. Be it writing letters, sending emails, making phone calls or making conversation, you must express yourself. Being honest and outspoken need not mean upsetting people. Think of the way that a child gets its point over.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Having problems with that new computer? Fallen foul of the new mobile phone? That wouldn't be surprising this week. As you are prone to mistakes and misunderstandings, try not to tackle anything vital. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and fresh air. Someone who is supposed to help you proves more of an irritation than a saviour, and you may wish that you had stuck with the manual.

BIRTHDAYS
DRAWING on nearly three years of reporting, hundreds of hours of interviews and more than 200 sources, Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig take us inside some of the most controversial moments of Trump's presidency. They peer deeply into Trump’s White House, at the aides pressured to lie to the public, the lawyers scrambling to clear up norm-breaking disasters, and the staffers whose careers have been reduced to ashes. Painting a portrait of an administration driven by selfpreservation and paranoia and showing the unhinged decision-making and incompetence that has floored officials and stunned foreign leaders. Grippingly told, A Very Stable Genius is a behind-thescenes account of Trump’s vainglorious pursuit of power in his first term - the rages and the frenzies, the dishonesty and the depravity - as his remaining loyal staffers eye the exits, and he stares down the reality of impeachment.

Little smokers
ALMOST half of the children admitted to hospital for asthma are passive smokers, according to a study conducted at the Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid. The information coincides with data given by the World Health Organisation, that states 40 per cent of children are exposed to passive smoking at home. In Spain, the prevalence of childhood asthma is estimated at around 10 per cent. Up until now, it was known that babies born of smoking mothers had diminished lung function and that children exposed to passive smoking also suffered an alteration of their lung capacity. The study analysed the situation of 365 children who, at some time between 2011 and 2015, were admitted to hospital due to an asthmatic crisis. It revealed that 41 per cent of children who had severe asthmatic crises were subjected to passive smoking at home. The average age of patients in the paediatrics ward was five and the dura-
tion of their admission was four days. Doctors observed that children exposed to smoke had lower oxygen saturation at the time of admission, as well as more severe crises and worst lung parameters. It was also noted that the asthma was more acute when the father was a smoker, compared to the mother. The information from the investigation was presented in a scientific letter, published in the journal of the Spanish Society of Paediatric Pulmonology. Doctors explain that asthma and passive smoking are a worrying combination. Children who suffer from bronchial hyperreactivity are more sensitive to environmental pollutants, including tobacco smoke, that increases airway inflammation and causes a limitation of air flow.
AT RISK: Children who are passive smokers lose lung capacity.
Fracturing affliction THREE MILLION people in Spain suffer from osteoporosis, a degenerative disease that affects the density and quality of the bones. The name literally translates to ‘porous bone’ and causes bones to become increasingly fragile. It is this fragility in the bones that causes them to fracture easily. In Spain, more than 330,000 bone fractures are called by the disease every year, especially in the hips and forearms. The danger of the condition is the difficulty to detect it. It is generally asymptomatic and only begins to show once its in an advanced state.
The main cause of bone deterioration is age and it begins to appear in people over 60. The body absorbs calcium to keep bones strong, but over time the absorption capacity decreases and bones become less dense. In addition to age, there are many other factors that can contribute to the onset of osteoporosis. Being a woman is one of the main factors, as the disease mainly affects women. Having a family history, being underweight, smoking, excessive alcohol and coffee consumption can also cause the conditions. A diet poor in calcium, being
sedentary and pollution can also aggravate bone density. Can osteoporosis be prevented? The deterioration of bone tissue is an inevitable process as we age. But there are some lifestyle choices that can slightly modify the evolution. Maintaining healthy habits does not guarantee avoiding osteoporosis, but it can slow up the disease. A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is essential. Combining foods like fatty fish, dairy, nuts, legumes, green leafy vegetables and eggs with sun exposure should help. Physical exercise also helps to maintain bone health. Toxic habits such as alcohol consumption or tobacco are discouraged, as they reduce the absorption of calcium and other important minerals including phosphorous and magnesium. After the menopause women, or people with an increased risk of osteoporosis, should be reviewed.
HEALTH & BEAUTY UNFOUNDED rumours and myths are nothing new, unlike the new technologies that help to spread them easily. Among these myths, those that relate to health can be very detrimental or even dangerous. In her new book, Doctor Esther Sanper uncovers some of the most common bad health practices. One of the biggest myths is that toothbrushes with hard bristle are more effective at removing food debris and bacteria. In fact, this is a misconception and dentists actually recommend using brushes with soft bristles. This is mostly because they don’t damage the gums and people with enamel problems or sensitive teeth are advised to use ‘extra soft’ brushes. The main issue with hard bristles is that they can end up eroding the teeth and the enamel that protects them, thus they are only recommended to clean dentures. Another potentially harmful practice is thawing food at room temperature. It’s very common to take food out of the freezer in advance and leaving it to defrost on the

Health hoaxes kitchen counter. However, this habit is discouraged as it increases the chances of suffering food poisoning. To avoid the multiplication of bacteria, it’s encouraged to place the food in the fridge, on the shelf closest to the freezer. Although it is more time consuming, the cool temperatures will prevent any bacteria from reproducing. If time is tight, the food can be defrosted in cold water for 30 to 60 minutes or cooked directly. Another classic is the highly publicised myth that states you can contract an STD from sitting on a public toilet. Uncomfort-
able squatting or copious amounts of toilet paper are unnecessary and absurd measures. For starters, public toilets are cleaned much more frequently than other things we touch daily, including our phones. But it’s also worth noting that the areas that come into contact with a toilet bowl are minimal. Unless there are wounds on the skin, the risk is practically zero. To further prove this point,

On accepting the award she thanked her classmates: Penelope Cruz, Greta Fernández and Marta Nieto. Also showing gratitude to the producers of the film and the directors “for giving me this wonderful character, for giving me the role of my life.” She didn’t leave out her cast partner, Antonio de la Torre, whom he thanked “because my Rosa without your Higinio would not have been the same.” CREDIT: Twitter

EAT WITH ELLIS
Real fast Food MANY people get a certain image in their head when they hear the term ‘Fast Food.’ A burger, Chinese take away, chips, kebabs. They are deemed ‘Fast’ because the only time and effort you’ve had to make was ordering it or waiting for it to be delivered. This week I fancied something fast. I set myself the challenge of cooking two tapas dishes in five minutes. Add in the two minutes of preparation and I had two delicious dishes on the table for lunch in a total of about seven minutes. Gambas (Prawns) Al Ajillo and Padron Peppers made a very tasty lunch. Have ready two garlic cloves chopped, a red chilli deseeded and chopped and some parsley finely chopped.
Put the peppers in a small bowl and cover with water. That’s it, the prep is done. Get two pans on a high heat, when hot add olive oil to both pans. Take the peppers out of the water and shake excess water off, put carefully in the pan, they will spit a bit, but it’s the dampness of the peppers that will make them blister. Put the garlic and chilli in the other pan, leave a minute then add the whole prawns. A minute or two on each side, sprinkle in the parsley and remove to your serving dish. Cover with the juices from the pan. The peppers are ready when they have started to collapse in the middle. Sprinkle both dishes with sea salt. Enjoy!

SPAIN GREETS DADDY YANKEE TORREMOLINOS will be the setting for the largest Latin Festival to be held in Spain this coming summer which will run over the week-
end of July 17 and 18. The Latin Soul Festival will include a selection of Spanish born musicians as well as visitors from Latin America and the line-
up announced so far sees Reggaeton headliner from Puerto Rica Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez Bautista, better known as
Daddy Yankee. Now in his early 40’s this innovative musician who is considered to be the King of Reggaeton has more than 25 million followers on his Facebook page, has won numerous awards, but surprisingly has only released seven albums with his latest The Hard Disk coming out in 2020. Perhaps best known in
crossover circles as appearing on the original release of Despacito with Luis Fonsi he is bound to draw a large crowd to the event which will be held at the Esplanade of the Torremolinos Fairground. Others taking part include the 23-year-old female singer from Barcelona who performs as Bad Gyal and is now a
rising star of the Spanish urban music scene. Joining the growing list of performers is Lennis Rodriguez from the Dominican Republic as well as RVFV (Rafael Ruiz) just 18 from Almeria who has found fame with his afrotrap style. Tickets cost from €35 and can be purchased online at www.almalati nafestival.com.
A welcome return
HEADLINER: Daddy Yankee has a huge following.
NO matter how hard they try, La Sala Banus cannot keep away the doyen of dark lifestyle coaching Svetlana Stanislav whose shows are not suitable for the very young or easily upset because she says that she has the mouth of a drunken Russian pirate. Much of what she says is a real insight to the human condition and British actress and comedian Danni Ravden who has created this sexy yet somewhat frightening character has herself trained as both a nutritionist and genuine lifestyle coach before deciding that she would turn to the dark side and entertain audiences around the world. You can catch some of her very personal ‘self-help’ videos on YouTube where she has thousands of followers, but you can also see
the real Svetlana on Wednesday February 12 when she returns once again to entertain in the Live Lounge with the show kicking off (in more ways than one) at 7.30pm. If you want to enjoy an evening with the sometimes controversial and often offensive yet always amusing Svetlana, reservations cost €33 per person to include the show, a welcome glass of cava and a two-course menu. To make sure of your booking email reservations@LaSalaBanus.com or call 952 814 145 but don’t forget that St Valentine’s Day isn’t until February 14 (and La Sala have a number of great Valentine options) so don’t take a new love for a romantic evening, as they might just be surprised by the entertainment provided by this regular visitor to Marbella.

This week Celebrity Chef & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala prepares you in advance for a special Valentine’s with simply the best food!
Surf & Turf with truffle, vanilla and marrowbone Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com SAINT VALENTINE (or San Valentino) was a Catholic Priest in the third century. Emperor Claudius II had banned marriage because he thought that husbands made bad soldiers and wanted to stay at home rather than fight! Valentine felt this was very unfair and so he broke the rules and arranged secret marriages. When Claudius found out, Valentine was thrown in jail and sentenced to death. There, he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter and when he was taken to be beheaded on February 14 he sent her a love letter signed ‘from your Valentine.’ As the story goes that is
why we celebrate Valentine’s Day. However… we shouldn’t have to wait until February to be romantic, but let’s be honest it’s a good reminder! This Valentine’s at The Little Geranium we are celebrating the entire week (starting on February 10 until the 14th) it’s a busy and special time, but if you want to stay at home with your loved one, I can help you make the most romantic and memorable meal. There are many aphrodisiac foods that might help and they stimulate parts of the brain that make us feel… more sexy! There is a whole load of evidence that makes biological and believable sense between these foods and our sex drive. Here are a few examples: 1. Shellfish especially Oysters,
Celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Lobsters and Scallops because they are all high in zinc which is essential for production of testosterone 2. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine which stimu-
lates excitement 3. Asparagus is high in potassium which is linked to hormone production 4. Strawberries are loaded with Vitamin C essential for production of sex hormones 5. Figs are high in Amino acids which boost sexual stamina 6. Bananas are rich in Bromelain linked to increasing sex drive 7. Vanilla smells sexy and has a calming, sensual effect on our brain. My best ever meal would definitely be a juicy fresh lobster with a good steak! Surf and turf as we call it has made a comeback especially here at The Little Geranium as we often serve a mini beef wellington with
a lobster tail as the main dish on our tasting menus. Check first whether your partner likes lobster because not everyone does. Lobster has to be one of the most decadent dishes on the planet and it’s not something you will have often because it’s very expensive and difficult to prepare. It involves some controversial cooking techniques, but it is simply delicious and you will always remember this meal for the rest of your life! Cook the beef simply and the combination of the two will ensure that this will be the best Valentine’s ever! (Next week look out for my special Valentine’s dessert to follow on from the lobster)

Lobster, truffle, vanilla and Galician beef
Make the truffle sauce Reduce the cream with the garlic and onion in a saucepan Add half of both the cheeses and stir well in until it is thick Add the butter and the brandy and whisk in and simmer gently to let flavours infuse for 10 minutes Pass the sauce through a fine sieve and then add the truffle pieces, season and reserve this sauce Make a vanilla butter 250g of unsalted butter 1 vanilla pod cut in half lengthways To make the vanilla butter, place the butter into a heavy-based pan and scrape in the seeds from the vanilla pod Cook until the butter begins to turn a golden colour and starts to smell of biscuits! Pour onto a tray and leave to cool, then set aside in the fridge until it sets. Cook the Lobster If you are cooking your own lobster it is important to put the lobsters to sleep before cooking them by putting them in the freezer for about two hours.
Put some lemon pieces and a splash of vinegar with some salt in the water and when it’s boiling rapidly drop in the lobster. When the water comes back to the boil (usually one minute or so) leave the lobster boiling for two minutes and remove with a slotted spoon and immediately refresh (shock) in ice cold water. Prepare the cooked Lobster Now that you have your cooked lobster, cut it in half, remove the claws and the meat from the claws. Remove the lobster body flesh, clean and wash and place back into the shells. Now spoon the truffle white sauce over the lobster body meat and sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Bake in a pre-heated oven 200ºC for five to seven minutes until golden and bubbling hot. Take some small pieces of the vanilla butter and place neatly on top of the lobster halves. Now glaze them with a blow torch or lightly grill to melt the butter.
Serve and share... simply the best!

2 peppercorns 1 clove garlic peeled and chopped 1/2 small onion finely chopped 100g of beef marrow bone (warmed) 100g of crème fraîche or thick cream 1 tbsp of sherry or red wine vinegar For the bone marrow sauce, heat the stock with the red wine and the thyme, the peppercorns and onion on a medium heat for a few minutes. Leave to infuse and strain. Pour into a high powered blender. With the motor running low, slowly add the warmed marrow fat and crème fraiche or cream. Continue to blend until fully emulsified and thickened. Add a little sherry vinegar to taste as well as seasoning. To cook the beef Heat the oven to 200°C/Gas mark 6 Season the beef with Maldon salt rubbed all over and seal in a hot pan with a little olive oil. Roast medium rare for approx 10 minutes. Rest well before serving after cutting into two. Serve the lobster with the beef dressed with a little marrowbone sauce… or better still serve it all in the centre of the table and share… simply the best!

Brexit Update What does the future hold? BREXIT: Things won’t change for now.
Christina Sharp GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL christina@globelink.co.uk.
PARADOXICALLY, the arrival of Brexit seems underwhelming after the tumultuous months that have preceded us. Now the UK is on course for Brexit on January 31, 2020, are we any closer to knowing what this means for your Travel and Travel Insurance? It’s refreshing that we can bring you some firm news of what to expect. The UK now enters an official transition period until the end of December 2020. Guidance from Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) is things won’t change during this time - so Brits can continue travelling as you do now until December 31, 2020. Respite indeed given the potential chaos of previous ‘no deal’ scenarios.
FEATURE
Until this date, trains, planes and coaches will still operate; rules on taking pets abroad don’t change; you won’t need a VISA, nor International Drivers Permit or Green Card for car insurance; the EHIC remains valid. The sad fact is, we still don’t know the impact of Brexit on travel and travel insurance after the implementation period. It’s well worth buying your travel insurance before it ends to lock-in reliable cover. Globelink products are underwritten through Lloyds, who’ve already confirmed they will ho-
nour all commitments, including paying valid claims. The UK offers more Travel Insurance choices than any other country with products among the best in the world. If you’re an EU resident, you may have less options after December 2020 because of changes in trading rules. Limiting choice is never good for consumers, so buy your travel insurance, or renew your Annual Multi Trip Policy in good time. What travel insurance should I buy? Everyone’s needs are differ-
ent, but always look beyond the eye-catching headlines so you get what’s right for you. Everyone needs essentials, like Emergency Medical Expenses including Repatriation and a 24-Hour Helpline. If travelling twice or more a year, opt for Annual Travel Insurance - it’s cheaper. Travel as often as you like on a Globelink Annual Policy. Think about luggage value. You’ll be surprised how it adds up. Beware of Insurance ‘single article limits’ - you may have items worth more. Check the ‘total valuable limit’ - your accumulated valuables could exceed this. Think about special requirements like pre-existing medical conditions. It’s imperative you comply with the Travel Insurers declaration requirements to avoid the risk of your policy being invalidated. What do get up to while away? Whether snorkelling, hill
walking, golfing, sailing or horseriding, check you’re covered. You’re more at risk of injury while participating. Globelink covers 100 Adventure Activities free. Considering a cruise? Don’t miss a trick when searching for insurance. Tour operators inevitably charge the earth, while others make you pay extra for the privilege. Look for providers who offer Free Cruise Cover as standard, like Globelink, so you’re covered if tempted by a cruise trip. Already travelled? Forgotten travel insurance? If you or your loved ones have travelled without insurance, never fear. Globelink are one of the few companies offering Already Travelling Insurance. That’s another good reason why it’s worth investing in Annual Multi Trip cover, so you don’t have to worry whenever you travel! Wherever you chose, check FCO’s travel advice.

LETTERS FROM CANARIES By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com DEAR reader, A Happy New Year to you from the islands, where we’re happy with 2020 so far, despite general festive season excesses and, in my case, acute tobacco withdrawal symptoms. Happy because, regardless of the buffoon-led political circus currently playing in Europe, the USA, Australia and other countries old enough to know better, Spain has avoided the dangers of erm... austerity populism, I believe it’s called these days, and finally formed a lefty coalition. In a period of retreat for the European left, this new government constitutes the most leftwing administration across the entire continent. So what makes Spain different? I’d guess it’s the memory of the country’s 40-year dictatorship naturally lingering on. It lasted until 1975, so a large chunk of the Spanish popula-
I’ d like to enjoy the changes
NEW GOVERNMENT: Pedro Sanchez (left) with Pablo Iglesias. tion remembers the reality of a right wing regime and hesitates, regardless of politics, to go back there thanks. Other Europeans have apparently forgotten the preworld war nationalist posturing that brought death to an estimated 75 million people, poppies and Remembrance Day ceremonies notwithstanding. The memory was probably wiped by the post war boom. “We’ve never had it so good,” said Macmillan in 1957,
and the British working class agreed. Package holidays abroad! Mortgages! Hire Purchase!, while 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s Spain continued to suffer poverty and repression. The USA possibly forgot and placed trust in a reactionary clown because its warmongering is strictly limited to faraway, foreign places, but surely us Europeans might hear alarm bells ringing through all this modern nationalist blah? Although, humans do have
short memories. Just one and a half generations after a natural disaster almost anywhere, we choose to rebuild communities and bring up our kids in exactly those dangerous areas programmed to blow again. So, if we never learn, how will this first Spanish coalition government in 80 years, presided over - in my humble lefty opinion - by sound chaps Pedro Sanchez of the centre-left Socialist Workers’ Party, and Pablo Iglesias of further left ‘United We Can,’ prosper? These two do boast the prerequisite number of functioning neurons, a notion of history and social justice and far superior hairstyles. None of that laquered, boyishly tousled stuff. Sanchez sports a non-denominational classic cut and Iglesias a reassuring pony tail. We all have our criteria. They’ll have their work cut out. Coalition is a known but forgotten concept in the land of stick-rigidly-to-your-views-
and-shout-the others-down as a negotiation tool. “The parties on the Right and the media arm of the economic powers are going to hit us very hard with every step we take, however small. We will be governing in minority within an Executive shared with the PSOE... And, again, there will be those who invest many millions of Euros and devote many hours of television to trying to demoralise, frustrate and convince us that we cannot succeed,” says Pablo Iglesias, but I have enormous confidence in this political science university lecturer and his pony tail and hope they’re still in power when my Spanish nationality’s organised. I’d like to enjoy the changes they make. If I can stop smoking, their very intelligent plans to bite the bullet and legalise voluntary euthanasia may turn out to be top of my favourites list!

We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736.

For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

Effortlessly elegant
BENTLEY is introducing two new versions of its third-generation Continental GT and GT Convertible models this year. Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Crewe, the new models combine immense power with impressive fuel efficiency. Excellent weight distribution makes the dynamic V8 feel even more agile and responsive with a distinctive, higher revving engine personality of its own. The 4.0-litre, 32-valve
V8 petrol engine develops 542 bhp and 568 lb.ft of torque. It also features dual twin-scroll turbochargers located inside the ‘V’ of the engine, together resulting in a top speed of 198 mph and 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds for the Coupe; and 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds for the Convertible. A statement of true luxury, the third generation of the two cars represent the pinnacle of Bentley’s design and engineering achievements. Effortlessly elegant and more sculpt-
ed and sharply defined, the body and materials combine to create truly breathtaking cars. The innovative, luxurious interior offers unrivalled Grand Touring refinement. It seamlessly integrates natural materials such as the highest quality leathers and rare, sustainably sourced veneers into the finest handcrafted cabin. At the heart of both the V8 and V8 Convertible dashboards are an advanced, fully digital, driver-focused instrument
panel and the optional Bentley Rotating Display. The latter features a 12.3-inch touchscreen housed in a threesided unit, which revolves the veneer to reveal the touchscreen, as well as three elegant analogue dials. The driving dynamics offer the driving character expected of a class leading Grand Tourer, along with the opportunity to explore the range of performance the car has to offer via the Drive Dynamics selector.
IMMENSE POWER: With impressive fuel efficiency and innovative, luxurious interior offers. The Dynamic Ride System controls ride comfort and lateral roll, cushioning passengers from excessive movement, as well as making the models feel effortlessly precise. The air suspension uses three-chamber air springs which further improve ride comfort and the dynamic character. It has the scope to vary from sporting spring stiffness to luxury limousine refinement, de-
pending on which mode is selected. An Active All-Wheel Drive System varies the frontto-rear torque split dependent on the driving situation. The Continental GT V8 will use rear-wheel drive as much as possible during normal driving for optimum efficiency and dynamic performance. Electric Power-Assisted Steering provides excellent feedback to the driver. It utilises a variable rack ratio, allowing increased response with higher steering angles to aid manoeuvrability whilst maintaining excellent stability at high speeds. The V8 models are offered with a wide range of driver assistance features, such as Active Lane Assist, Traffic Jam Assist and Park Assist.

Billic knocks out his old Club West Ham IT was an afternoon to cherish for Slaven Bilic as his West Brom side claimed the first Premier League scalp of the FA Cup fourth round weekend, beating former employers West Ham 10 at the London Stadium. The Baggies had several early chances before they took an early ninth minute lead. Issa Diop failed to clear his lines and the ball fell to left-back Conor Townsend, whose rasping 20-yard strike from the edge of the box sailed past Darren Randolph into the far right corner. Charlie Austin should have made it two for the
energetic visitors before the interval, but he glanced a header wide from six yards despite being left unmarked. West Ham were sloppy, lacked creativity and failed to muster a shot on goal in the first half - Declan Rice’s long-range efforts all they could come up with. The Hammers made a triple change at half-time and fared slightly better after the break, thanks to the sense of urgency brought by Michail Antonio. The visitors offered further hope that West Ham could get back into the game, after Semi Ajayi was given his marching orders for two yellows with
just under 20 minutes remaining. But Manuel Lanzini and Mark Noble failed to capitalise on opportunities late on - the Hammers captain guilty of blazing over from 12 yards out - and West Brom saw the game out to hand Bilic a well earned win against the side that sacked him in late 2017. West Ham failed to provide a real threat towards the West Brom goal, lacking any kind of cohesion in their forward play. Sebastien Haller, again, was isolated up top, though Michail Antonio’s introduction at half-time did inject some much needed dynamism. But ultimately, things
WEST BROM: Claimed the first Premier League scalp of the FA Cup fourth round. weren’t good enough from the home side. Considering West Brom made a number of changes, Moyes’ side should have been on the front foot but they were tentative, lacking in ideas and looked like a team fighting a relegation battle. To sum up the performance, West Ham failed to register a shot on target in the first 70 minutes. West Brom looked far
more effective in possession throughout the game. They moved up and down the pitch with a real sense of purpose, and created a host of chances to test Darren Randolph in goal. Even after Antonio’s introduction, the Baggies were largely comfortable in dealing with the limited attacking threat posed by West Ham. West Ham fans really
have had enough now, they want the board out as well as the new current manager already. Out of all cups and heading to relegation whilst hard core fans continue to organise demonstrations - moved from their spiritual home on the promise of top flight football - now playing in a soulless bowl and scrapping to stay in the premiership.
Scare For Liverpool In Cup JASON CUMMINGS scored a second-half double off the bench as Shrewsbury Town came from behind to earn a surprise 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday. Within 15 minutes of replacing Callum Lang on the hour mark, Cummings converted from the penalty spot and guided a cool finish past Adrian to earn League One side Shrewsbury a replay against the Premier League leaders at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp made 11 changes to his team and saw them move 2-0 up when Donald Love followed up Curtis Jones’ opener with a comical own goal. Klopp responded to Cummings’ brace by calling for Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino from the bench, but Liverpool were unable to salvage a victory despite some huge late chances and now have another fixture to add to their busy schedule.
JASON CUMMINGS: Scored a second-half double. Liverpool took 15 minutes to move in front, with Pedro Chirivella threading a pass to Jones that the midfielder slid beyond Max O’Leary. Adrian made a great save with his leg to deny Shaun Whalley, who scuffed another opportunity wide after being played through by Lang.
Shrewsbury were two down just 27 seconds after the restart, Love inexplicably stabbing Neco Williams’ delivery past a bemused O’Leary despite being under no pressure. The hosts reacted positively, and although Adrian made a great save to keep out Lang, he could not stop Cummings con-
verting from the spot in the 65th minute after Yasser Larouci sent Josh Laurent to ground. Cummings doubled his tally 10 minutes later, beating Dejan Lovren - making his first appearance since December - on the edge of the box and picking out the bottom-left corner. The Shrews had an appeal for
a penalty turned down when Love’s cross struck Fabinho’s arm, before Ro-Shaun Williams made a crucial block to stop Jones slotting home on the follow-up after O’Leary denied Firmino at the other end. Salah headed a cross from Firmino wide in second-half stoppage time as the hosts held on for a result that was followed by a pitch invasion from the jubilant Shrewsbury fans. Jordan Henderson had to play at centre-back during the Club World Cup due to the enforced absences of Joel Matip who returned from three months out with a knee injury at the New Meadow - and Lovren. Their returns will no doubt be welcomed by Klopp, but the duo failed to impress against Shrewsbury. A replay against the League One side may be welcomed by the defenders, though, as it provides another opportunity for minutes ahead of an important stretch of the season.

Arsenal Still Have FA Cup Insight
FINCA NAUNDRUP: Despite some surface water, the pitch was declared playable.
‘WALKING FOOTBALL SPAIN GO TOP OF THE LEAGUE’ DESPITE the poor weather during last Friday and Saturday morning which left some surface water on the pitch at Finca N a u n d r u p i t w a s d e c l a re d playable. This turned out to be a good omen for the two Walking Football Spain (WFS) teams who were due to play the ‘old enemy’ Smiles. In this Blue Sky Marbella Walking Football League match WFA ‘A’ kicked off against Smiles 60’s ‘B’ team confident after two straight 6-0 wins. However the ‘B’s’ had a game plan to stop the flowing football of WFA ‘A’ and this succeeded as they dealt with the attacks prompted by Wright and Fitzpatrick from midfield. However WFA settled and with McGufferty holding the back steady soon began dominating the game and it wasn’t long before top scorer Jim Maguire put the WFA team into the lead. Smiles came back with an equaliser from Tim Van Dyke which took the WFS defence by surprise as they had not conceded a goal up to then. Half Time 1-1 WFA ‘A’ knew they had a game on their hands after Smiles’ first half display but soon settled into their rhythm playing the passing game
they are used to. This paid dividends as the ‘B’s’ defence was unable to cope with the constant attacks from Maguire and Woody despite good work from Carlos Jiminez in midfield. They both added to the first half score as WFA controlled the match as the ‘B’s’ tired with Shaun notching a sixth goal for WFS ‘A.’ This win from an impressive WFA ‘A’ team, acknowledged by Smiles player manager Gray Salt, took their League points tally to nine allowing them to overtake leaders Aston Viñuela and top the Blue Sky Marbella Walking Football League. RESULT WFS ‘A’ 6 SMILES 60’s ‘B’ 1 (Scorers Maguire 3, (Dave Woody 2, Shaun 1) Next match saw the Smiles 50’s ‘A’ team looking for their first league points with the opposition the other half of WFS... the ‘B’ team. This proved to be a more even match with much end to end play. Both keepers were on top form although Smiles keeper had to admit defeat in the 10th minute with a great shot from Jerard to put the ‘B’s’ one up. Just before half time a free kick just outside the box was expertly chipped by Dave Efford off a de-
fender to give the ‘A’s’ the equaliser. The end to end play continued with neither side dominating allthough Jimenez for the ‘A’s’, playing his second game, kept pushing his team on in an effort to stop the counter attacks by the ‘B’s’. An inspired substitution by WFS coach,Woody, putting on Colin Machin paid dividends when the big forward latched on to a through ball and lashed it home from 15 yards to put the ‘B’s’ into the lead. Despite efforts from the Smiles forwards they could not breach the WFS defence with the goalkeeper playing his part with several excellent saves. WFS ‘B’ played out the remaining time to record an impressive win against the Smiles top team. These two excellent victories were enough to put WFS ‘A’ top of the league with the ‘B’ team sharing second place with Aston Viñuela. WFS teams now face the Walking Dead teams, making their debut, in the League Cup on Wednesday 29th, at Finca Naundrup, Calahonda. Kick Off 6.30pm. Spectators welcome, Free entry.
ARSENAL’S youngsters led the side to an impressive 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in the fourth round of the FA Cup, setting up a tie with Portsmouth on the week commencing March 2. Eighteen-year-old Bukayo Saka lashed the Gunners into an early lead as he found space on the left-hand side of the box, before sending a thunderous strike through the fingertips of Mark Travers and into the roof of the Cherries net. A quick turn of pace saw Joe Willock go through oneon-one with the Bournemouth shot-stopper, but the angle proved too tight for the youngster, who poked his effort into Travers’ midriff. The home side’s reprieve didn’t last long, however. Willock’s measured ball picked out the onrushing Saka, giving the left-back the perfect platform to pick out a teammate. He duly obliged, sliding in a low cross to Eddie Nketiah, leaving the unmarked striker with the simplest of tasks as he swept home to put Arsenal two ahead. Bournemouth gained a foothold after the break, with Eddie Howe’s men showing more composure and showing greater care in possession. Their best opportunity came when Emiliano Martinez charged into no man’s land in a vein attempt to clear a loose ball, the Argentine and Shkodran Mustafi combing to cause havoc in the Arsenal defence. Fortunately for the pair, Bournemouth couldn’t capitalise on the chaos, Ryan Fraser misdirecting a header at the back post, with that the Cherries last chance of note until the 94th minute, Sam Surridge ghosting into the box and sliding past Martinez as the hosts grabbed a consolation. There are two ways of looking at this for Howe. On the one hand, Bournemouth’s performance was disappointing, to say the least. Their first-half display was unacceptable, with the south coast outfit struggling to keep pace with Arsenal’s intelligent off-the-ball movement. Howe’s worries were compounded by the strength of the lineup he fielded. This was an experienced group of players, yet they looked like rabbits in headlights against Mikel Arteta’s youthful Gunners team. There’s clearly some cause for concern.
