TRAFFIC has more than doubled on the AP-7 motorway between Alicante and Valencia since tolls were dropped after 40 years on January 1. Figures from the Public Works Ministry show a 119 per cent increase in traffic volume on this stretch of the road over the last six weeks, going from a daily average of 12,783 cars to 28,055. For the 374 kilometres running from Alicante to Tarragona the traffic increase over the same period is 71 per cent. At the same time, traffic circulation on alternative roads to the AP-7 has decreased, especially of heavy vehicles. On the N332 between Benidorm and Villajoyosa for example, heavy vehicle numbers are down 61 per cent

€100 million for Catalan motorists. Public Works Minister Jose Luis Abalos has meanwhile announced an investment of some €21 million a year in the maintenance of the motorway in the Valencian Community.

Farewell to superyacht Pets saved in house fire

LADY MOURA, one the world’s most expensive yachts, has left Denia after a five-month stay. The boat, which has a price-tag of €200 million, belongs to the Saudi magnate, Nasser Al-Rashid, who is said to be worth €20 billion. The 105-metre yacht arrived last September and was moored at the ‘super-yachts quay’ belonging to Varadero Port Morell. Manager Albert Morell explained that while there the Lady Moura had received an overhaul, with repairs to the teak decks and repainting. The principal and auxiliary engines were also serviced, air-conditioning checked and minor jobs carried out. “Obviously we’re sorry to see the Lady Moura go,” Morell said. “But we also hope to have even bigger boats tying up here.”

GUARDIA CIVIL officers from Moraira were called to inland Murla to help to put out a house fire. The owner, who had been out, called the Emergency Services after returning to find his home on fire. On arriving, the Guardia Civil concentrated on saving the animals trapped inside the house while preventing the fire from taking hold and spreading to neighbouring properties. Despite the extreme heat and all-enveloping black smoke, they first had to locate the source of the fire, an armchair that was in flames after being left near the fireplace. They also removed a lit gas fire, with the gas canister attached to it. After turning the electricity off at the mains, they were able to put out the flames with a garden hose, before reaching the room where the owner’s pets were trapped.

Save My Life PHENOMENON: HOSBEC referred to what it has dubbed the ‘hotelisation’ of property.
Apartment offer outstrips hotel places THE holiday apartment offer in Alicante City outstrips the number of hotel places due to marketing platforms like Airbnb and HomeAway, according to Costa Blanca and Benidorm hotel trade association HOSBEC. The latest HOSBEC report on the main marketing platforms’ activity shows the accommodation offer in the provincial capital tourist apartments has reached a total of 16,400 places compared with less than 7,000 in the city’s hotels. The association refers to what it calls the ‘hotelisation’ of property, especially in the Playa San Juan and El Cabo Huertas areas, and reported 5 per cent growth in this type of accommodation in Alicante last year to an annual average of 3,799. This growth was due in great part to an increase in the availability of entire houses, HOSBEC said,
which now represent 77 per cent of the total. HOSBEC also reported that 80 per cent of the apartments have a very flexible cancellation police, reflecting that ‘these kinds of businesses incorporate marketing strategies like that of the hotel sector.’ Also, occupation levels average 60 per cent, translating into income in the region of more than €41 million. According to HOSBEC “the romantic halo of Airbnb as an intermediary platform and of benefiting the collaborative economy in terms of accommodation has fallen away,” claiming that in fact that there are “large private capital business groups” hiding behind market properties as tourist accommodation “without there being a permanent owner who lives or usually stays in the property.”

Early indications ARCHAEOLOGISTS have detected seven ‘guest houses’ dating from the Islamic era in Denia, more than anywhere else in Spain. The two-storey buildings, each with a gallery and courtyard, date from the 11th and 12th centuries and the largest, near what are now the Marist school
and Calle Marques de Campo, measured more than 300 square metres. Distributed throughout the town they would have been used principally by merchants or pilgrims making for Mecca, although according to literature of the time, more than one was probably a bordello, the experts believe.

THE Spanish media reported recently how seven RAF airmen, whose aircraft crashed into Montgo in December 1950, now have a monument. A plinth with their names marks the spot where they died when their twin-engined Wellington NA598 flew into the 753-metre mountain. The crew were on a training exercise, but owing to the hostility that still existed between Spain and Britain the plane could not enter Spanish air space and instead took a course over the Mediterranean. The aircraft flew straight into the Montgo mountain owing to a thunderstorm according to some accounts, and mist to others. Spanish theorists also suggest that the pilot confused Sierra Mariola with Montgo, believing that he was still some distance

Despite the frosty relations between the two countries, the Spanish authorities notified the Air Ministry and arranged for the crew’s bodies to be transported to Gibraltar where they received a full military funeral. According to newspaper re-
ports at the time, the operation cost Denia Town Hall 26,917 pesetas (€161.77), a fortune in 1950. Because of the expense, the Spanish government authorised Denia’s mayor Antonio Muñoz to recover the remains of the aircraft and sell them for scrap.
VILLAJOYOSA HOSPITAL: An extension is badly needed.
Waiting for hospital extension BUILDING of an annex to the Marina Baja hospital in Villajoyosa, announced in 2017, has not yet begun. The Generalitat’s Health department said that a start would be made in 2018, but the necessary allocations have been modified as each annual Budget is announced. At last count, the Consell - equivalent to the regional government’s Cabinet - announced €1.7 million for 2020, followed by €4.3 million in 2021, €4.1 million in 2022 and almost €6 million in 2023. Health department sources explained that this year’s €1.7 million corresponded to drafting the project, putting it out to tender and making a start before the end of this year. The extension involves a new building on land provided by Villajoyosa Town Hall adjoining the existing installation. This will house a general A & E, a paediatric A & E, a diagnostic imaging department including two CAT scan rooms and 12 operating theatres with space for two more. At least progress was made with an extension to the car park, as an extra 800 spaces were made last year although there is still no direct entrance to the hospital from the N-332.

EDUCATION can eradicate female genital mutilation (FGM). This was the claim made by a series of talks at Alfaz’s Casa de Cultura organised to coincide with the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM. The 100 people attending the talks heard how Unicef and World Health Organisation figures reveal that more than 200 million women have suffered mutilation in more than 30 countries worldwide. If this tendency continues, 15 million more will have been subjected to the savage practice that seriously violates human rights, is an act of violence against girls and women and a form of gender inequality that endangers their health. Since the practice is commonplace in some ethnic groups and communities, education can change traditional roles and eliminate the discrimination that so many girls and women must suffer. Speakers at the Alfaz talks emphasised that this can be achieved by explaining to men and women the negative conse-

This has been closed since February 2016 when the concession to run it had expired and the regional government cordoned-off the installation on safety grounds. Four years later, and with the marina steadily deteriorating, Calpe Town Hall still does not know when Puerto Blanco can reopen. Sala asked Olbiol if he could tell her when work was likely to begin, how long that would take and when the contract to run the marina could be put out to tender. The director general explained to Sala that she would receive a reply “soon.” Whilst in Madrid, the mayor also received permission to use part of the port area, which belongs to the Coastal Authority, for all rubbish generated by the port, which is currently deposited in containers located throughout the installation.

OBSERVANT visitors to Moraira’s Friday market will have noticed the absence of the Teulada Moraira Lions Club book stall. The Lions have run an English language book stall in the market for many years, but the difficult decision was made to stop this at the end of last year. Not only did the stall supply reading material to many in the Englishspeaking community - both expats and holidaymakers - it also offered newcomers somewhere to ask all their questions about life here as most of the Lions team have many years’ experience of living in the area.
The book stall placed a lot of demands on the Teulada Moraira lions, including the lifting and transporting of the books to and from the market and it was this that finally persuaded the team to call it a day. Books are still available in the Lions Den fundraising shop in Moraira’s commercial centre, where there are always helpful volunteers.

PRESENTATION: Announcing the second stage of the race.
Epic race arrives THE second stage of the Vuelta Comunidad Valenciana Feminas (Valencian Community Women’s Race) finishes in Finestrat on Friday February 21. It is the 126-kilometre Etapa Reina, the race’s most important stage, and includes the Maigmo, Carresqueta, Fallim, Tudons and Finestrat mountain passes. This is the race’s fourth edition and 180 women cyclists, including
several world champions, will be taking part. Finestrat’s mayor Juan Francisco Perez and the town hall’s Sports councillor David Alarcon attended the Alicante City presentation of the Vuelta presided at the Diputacion by the head of the provincial council’s Sports department. The Vuelta’s director Ruben Donet and Juanjo Castello, mayor
of Agost, Day Two’s starting point, were also present. Agost-Finestrat is the Vuelta’s only stage ending in an ascent and promised to be “epic,” Donet said. It will also be streamed live on social media and on a giant screen set up at the finishing line. Inclusion in the Vuelta was a matter of pride and an ideal opportunity for Finestrat, the mayor said.

Halting the march of the processionaries BENITACHELL’S Environment department has fumigated local pines to eradicate the processionary caterpillars that affect them each year. Trees in public zones including sports installations, the Santa Maria Magdalena school, urbanisation green areas, and the La Cumbre access roads, have all been treated with nontoxic organic products, said Environment councillor Jorge Pascual. The processionary caterpillars invade pine trees each spring, defoliating the needles, Pascual explained. They also inflict harm on humans and animals by dropping minute, barbed hairs which are too small to be seen, producing ear, nose and throat irritation and in some
extreme cases, intense allergic reactions. Experts recommend paying particular attention to domestic animals whenever they are near are pines, fir trees, or cedars, taking them immediately to a vet if they see them sniff, lick or eat a processionary. The town hall takes these precautionary measures each year to ensure that the processionaries neither damage local trees nor pose a threat to the local population and their animals, Pascual said. While the town hall has been protecting pines from processionary caterpillars, Alicante’s provincial council, the Diputacion, has recently replaced dead trees in the Les Fonts urbanisation, planting 20 carobs, olives and hackberries.

Fatal fall from viaduct A 41-YEAR-OLD Spanish man died after plummeting from the Mascarat tram bridge last Saturday. The bridge is currently being equipped with new safety measures and the employee slipped while taking photographs for the web page belonging to the company carrying out the installation. Sources from the regional rail operator FGV and the Alicante Province Fire Brigade Consortium, who transferred the body by helicopter to Calpe, confirmed that the man had died in a work-related accident. The railway bridge, which was built in 1915, is more than 45 metres above the ground, but the employee fell 25 metres into a ravine between 50 and 60 metres deep, the Guardia Civil announced. Public sector company FGV explained that it routinely carries out maintenance over the weekend to disrupt travel as little as possible, but did not reveal if work would resume next weekend.

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

CARLOS BAOS WE CAN HELP YOU TODAY’S article will focus on another way of acquiring property which consists of the so-called usucapion or usucapio of assets. Usucapio is an informal
FEATURE
Usucapion (adverse possession) in real estate explained There are several ways to acquire ownership of a real estate property under Spanish law. The best known is the transfer of the property or ‘tradition,’ which consists of the act of delivery by means of sale, a gift or some other recognised means. legal term used to refer to what in English is known as adverse possession (or colloquially ‘squatter’s rights’).
This is defined as the legal instrument that consists in the acquisition of a property by its possession, as an owner following a lapse of time or periods established in Law. Basically, it consists of the possibility of acquiring the ownership of a property, by taking it over and becoming recognised as the owner. Recognition of inhabitancy of the property will have been public, in good faith and uninterrupted, which means no one entitled to it or with a better right has contested such possession for a certain period of time. The usucapio can be ordinary or extraordinary. Ordinary usucapio demands good faith and fair title. Good faith consists in
the belief that you really are the owner of the property or ignorance of the fact that there may be a problem that invalidates your title of the property. A fair title means a document that is enough to legally transfer the property: a contract of sale, a gift, a court resolution, etc. The time that must elapse to acquire a property by ordinary usucapio is 10 years between ‘present’ people, and 20 years between those who are ‘absent’ people. The Law defines absent people as those domiciled overseas. Unlike ordinary usucapion, extraordinary usucapion does not require a fair title, that is, having a document that legally justi-
fies the possession, or good faith (the belief that you own the property or do not know that there is problem in your title). In this case, there is no difference between present and absent. However, the period of time that must elapse to acquire ownership, rises, from 10 or 20 years, to 30 years. To sum up, the important factor in the case of ordinary and extraordinary usucapio is the time involved and that possession during that time is uninterrupted. The civil code establishes that an interruption occurs when the person in possession of the property receives a judicial notification in this regard, for example, if another person who con-

siders himself as the owner and submits an eviction claim, etc. Formalising the ownership of a property through usucapio is not an automatic right and must be declared by a Judge. To do this, a claim for the declaration of ownership by acquisitive prescription must be presented, against the person or persons who may own or have title to the property. If you believe you may be entitled to acquire a property through this method, or you already live in a property owned by another person and you wish to interrupt the term of the ‘usucapio,’ contact us to help you. The information provided in this article is not intended to be legal advice, but is general information related to legal issues.

The National Police is the successor to the Policia General del Reina (Kingdom’s General Police), Spain’s first police force which was created in 1824. “The force is one of the world’s most veteran police forces,” Commissioner Serrano said. “In these 196 years we have changed our name and the colour of our uniform, but the essence of the force that was created in 1824 to guarantee public well-being and safety lives on in us,” he declared.

On yer bike (all the time) TO encourage sustainability, the town hall wants residents and visitors to make cycling a habitual form of transport. Benidorm’s 80 kilometres of cycle lanes mean that it is now possible to cross the town from end to end by bike, although the network still needs enlarging, municipal sources admitted. The town hall is also aware that it must make the local population more aware of cycling’s advantages while at the same time providing an adequate bicycle share scheme. Benidorm launched its first bike-share in 2008 with 10 stations and 25 bicycles, although this has doubled since then. The list of technical requirements for a new concessionary is being drawn up with conditions that include improvements to encourage use of bicycles. Meanwhile, the town hall announced last month that it was spending €5,396 on electric bicycles and scooters for the municipal inspectors who scrutinise the cleanliness of Benidorm streets, The choice was made deliberately to set a good example in sustainable mobility, said Transport councillor Jose Ramon Gonzalez de Zarate.

BENIDORM CASTILLO: Visitors view glass panels while work was still in progress.
Castle project completed BENIDORM’S landmark Plaza del Castillo, closed all this week, reopens tomorrow, Friday, February 14. The town hall’s Heritage councillor, Ana Pellicer, explained that it was closed on safety grounds while the Castillo’s new lighting was installed, together with a ventilation system for the glass-covered archaeological remains that were discovered during last year’s dig. “We were unable to do this when the Castillo reopened last November as we were still waiting for the material and equipment,” Pellicer said. The lighting that was provisionally installed at the Castillo’s pergola has also been removed and replaced with the spotlights included in the original design. The glass panels that are flush with the ground and cover remains that date from the 14th, 16th and 18th century have been provided with a
ventilation system that will prevent condensation and make them visible at all times, Pellicer said. The project to search for, and excavate, the Castillo’s remains cost €1.2 million, of which €500,000 was an EU grant made available through
the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER). As well as the cultural and historic aspects of the project, it also enabled the town hall to stabilise the Canfali cliffs where the Castillo is located, the councillor added.

Jalón - Orba Valley - XaloNEWS ALCALALI’S annual Feslali festival, held when the almond trees blossom, included a play titled Xylella Fastidiosa. The drama, created by Teatreres pel Mon specially for Feslali’s fifth edition, started out in the town hall square before spectators moved on to the terraced groves of almond trees on the outside of town where the performance took place. The presentation conveyed the violence that agricultural land and crops are subjected to, which also assists desertification, explained its director Nydia Crespo. “The play is a cry for help,” she explained beforehand, conveying the “institutional violence” of the harsh measures that regional and EU regulations imposed on growers to eradicate the deadly bacterium, Xylella Fastidiosa. These require the uprooting of infected almond trees and all those within a 100-metre radius, a drastic solution has been opposed from the outset by the growers. It has also been questioned by town halls like Alcalali’s, as well as neighbouring Jalon and other picturesque inland municipalities whose economies depend on weekend tourism. “Nor should the growers’ emotional pain be overlooked,” Crespo said.
Too few doctors AT present Jalon has what amounts to 1.5 doctors for a population of 2,739. Marina Salud, the concessionary company that provides the Marina Baja’s outsourced healthcare, has failed to replace the doctor who retired recently. More than half of Jalon’s population is over 55, an age group often needing more medical attention, but instead of two doctors they have one working full-time and another who is part-time. Residents have not been slow to complain and more than 1,000 signed a petition asking

COMPLAINTS: Isaura Navarro accepts Jalon petition. Marina Salud to bring back their two full-time doctors. They are not asking for more healthcare, Jalon residents said, but simply want a return to the former situation. Isaura Navarro, a highranking official from the regional government’s Health department, recently visited Jalon where she accepted
the petition. “This situation is intolerable given that the full-time doctor has to attend to 1,765 registered patients which exceeds Health department recommendations,” Navarro declared when she met Jalon mayor Joan Miquel Garces and the local Health councillor Lara Avella. It was unacceptable
that the outsourced concessionary, Marina Salud, failed to cover vacancies when doctors retired or were on leave. “The Generalitat pays the same amount for each inhabitant that it spends on its own public health service,” Navarro said. “Consequently, they should be giving the same service and that is not happening in Jalon.”
‘Teacher hurt son’ mother claims A JALON mother lodged a formal complaint with the Guardia Civil after a teacher allegedly hurt her son. She maintained that the 11-year-old was injured by hitting a chair and desk when a teacher at the Verge Pobra school took him by the arm and dragged him from the classroom. The woman explained to the local Spanish media that when she went to pick her children up from school that day, the boy ran into her arms, crying. She asked him what was wrong, and the sobbing child told her that his teacher had grabbed hold of him after he started singing in the middle of an English lesson. The other children saw him dragged from the classroom, he insisted.
“He was complaining about a pain in his ribs and said his head hurt where he hit against a chair,” the woman said. She took him to the health centre and from there went to the Guardia Civil with the doctor’s report. The mother also went to the school to ask the teacher for an explanation, she told the Spanish media. “He said to me, ‘If you want, I’ll apologise’ but that was all,” she lamented. “The school didn’t even ask me what had happened.” Asked to comment, school sources explained that they were following usual procedures in cases like these and were investigating the alleged aggression.

Earlier, officers said that they would not work night shifts or overtime after the town hall announced that it intended to retain these payments. The officers expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision during the plenary meeting at the end of January together with Human Resources councillor Rafael Mompo’s ‘bad manners.’ This was followed by week-long meetings between the local government, union officials representing the Local Police and legal advisers from both sides. Also present were representatives from the outside company that, after being brought in by the town hall, detected duplicated overtime and night shift payments, prompting the town hall’s decision to retain these temporarily. Altea’s mayor Jaume Llinares later explained that all involved would set up a working committee to tackle the discrepancies and come up with a solution. “This will then be taken to the negotiating table and later included in a collective agreement and Posts Schedule (RPT), which is what should have been done before,” Llinares said. The preliminary agreement included lifting the suspension of night shift payments while waiting for the negotiating table’s decision.

THE ADDA Symphony Orchestra visits Altea’s Palau at 7pm on Sunday, February 23. The orchestra is based at the ADDA auditorium in the Alicante City building that houses the provincial council, the Diputacion and its 43 musicians will interpret the soundtracks of famous films that include Star Wars, Harry Potter and ET. The concert will be conducted by prestigious Altea-born Josep Vicent. “This is a feast for the ears of lovers of music and the films that have marked our lives,” said the town hall’s Culture councillor Aurora Serrat. “It’s an honour for Altea to receive this magnificent orchestra during its current tour.”

A good payer CALPE Town Hall took an average 3.03 days to pay its suppliers’ bills last year. This is the shortest period since records were first kept, the Audit department announced. Not only is the town hall complying with government regulations on paying suppliers, but it is doing so well within the stipulated 30 days. During the third quarter of 2015, it took an average 44.85 days while in 2011, at the height of the economic crisis, it was sometimes 1,000 days before a bill was paid. Being a speedy payer means that suppliers and businesses have confidence in Calpe’s solvency and ability to pay, municipal sources said, and at the same time attracted more bidders for town hall contracts.

Beaches are level again
BULLDOZED: Sand back where it belongs. WORK continues on the La Fossa and Arenal-Bol beaches to erase the effects of last month’s storms. Bulldozers have been shifting and redistributing the sand that the battering waves built up on the shore, instead of waiting for the prevailing winds to push the sand towards
the beaches’ interior once more. Following a meeting with officials from the Valencia Tourist Board, the town hall announced that the foot-showers, walkways and other beach equipment that was affected by Storm Gloria will be replaced next month.
Storm Gloria’s multimillion bill CALPE is repairing its seafront promenades in readiness for Easter Week tourists. The mayor, councillors and municipal experts recently met to discuss the urgent measures they need to take in the wake of Storm Gloria. While essential repairs are now underway, the town hall will eventually redesign the promenades based on the climate change study currently being carried out by the Institute of Coastal Ecology. “At present we are restoring the promenades as far as possible so that they are ready for Easter,” Calpe’s mayor Ana Sala said. “But when we come to remodel them we shall take it calmly, bearing in mind the effects of climate change on our coastline to avoid the kind of destruction we recently experienced,” she added. Meanwhile, the town hall has sent an estimate of the cost of the devastation caused by Storm Gloria last month to the central government’s sub-delegate to Alicante This amounts to €1.34 million of damage to the promenades, while another €1.1 million is needed to stabilise their eroded retaining walls with a further €1 million for the beaches.

Ambulance standoff escalates CALPE’S Partido Popular asked local political parties to back t h e t o w n h a l l ’s a g re e m e n t w i t h the Red Cross. As reported recently in the Euro Weekly News, Calpe Town Hall pays the Red Cross to supplement the regional Health department’s ambulance service. The regional government has warned Calpe that this practice is unacceptable, as only the Generalitat may provide ambulances for the pub-
lic Health service. “But the basic ambulance service provided by the Department of Health, the competent Administration in this respect, is clearly insufficient for a municipality like ours,” the PP spokesman objected. In April 2019 a Calpe resident called for an ambulance after her 80-year-old neighbour was taken ill at 8.09pm. When this did not arrive, she called once more at 8.40pm and again - by then ‘very angry,’ the police report
added - at 9.38pm. The elderly man neither responded, nor was he breathing, she complained. An ambulance still failed to appear, although at 9.42pm the Emergency Information and Coordination Centre (CICU) infor med her that a Basic Vital Support ambulance had left Denia. At 9.43pm, the woman called to say that she believed her neighbour was dead. She again asked for an ambulance at 9.59pm and once more at 10.02pm.
A Local Police officer stressed in his log that ambulances take ‘at least’ 30 minutes to arrive and ‘on many occasions’ come from Denia. It was contradictory, he added, that the CICU could not send a Red Cross ambulance which never took more than 10 minutes to arrive. This is one of 12 police reports that will be attached to Calpe mayor Ana Sala’s motion which will make a formal request to the regional government to solve the ongoing problem.

Ambitious projects about to begin TEULADA-MORAIRA Town Hall is putting the finishing touches to its Cap d’Or and Cova de la Cendra archaeological projects. It has now put out to tender a €447,697 contract to provide the cave with an adequate path and access to the interior of the cave and its adjoining areas. The Cap d’Or tower is part of the defence system built in the 16th century to protect the coast from pirate raids while the site includes a Moorish water deposit and vestiges of an Iberian settlement.
The nearby Cova de la Cendra cave, which was inhabited 8,000 years ago, is regarded as one of the most important Neolithic sites in the Iberian peninsula and will be made accessible to the public. The Cap d’Or and Cova de la Cendra projects’ €1.2 million cost has received a €500,000 grant from the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) that was announced in 2018.

Teulada Moraira NEWS VICENTE MARZA, who heads the Generalitat’s Education department, recently visited the site of the San Vicente Ferrer school’s new wing. The project is financed by the regional government’s Plan Edificant, which has been introduced to help town halls build or improve schools with a minimum of red tape. The Schools boss was accompanied by other regional and provincial Education officials as well as Teulada-Moraira’s mayor Rosa Vila and councillors. The San Vicente Ferrer infants and primary school will have a new wing with 12 units for the first two phases of infants’ education. Work on the building, which will cost an estimated €2.53 million, is due to begin during the current school year and should be finished in 2021.

EXPLANATIONS: Walkers learnt more about their surroundings.
Getting out and about MORE than 100 people joined the first of this year’s Sendas Saludables (Healthy Paths) free programme of walks. These began in Teulada with three routes of varying difficulty and distances where participants could walk, run or cycle. Participants were accompanied by a guide who pointed out and explained the landmarks and interesting places they were passing. Teulada-Moraira’s Sports councillor, Adri-

Javea NEWS JAVEA Council voted to request official classification as a zone seriously affected by Storm Gloria. The municipality hopes to be in line for government aid that will assist in repairing the extensive damage caused by last month’s catastrophic storms. This would include direct help for the fishing and agriculture sectors, tax breaks for companies affected by the storm and generous credit conditions for loans to repair or replace material damage. The town hall is also asking for an EU Solidarity Fund grant enabling infrastructure and installations to function once more. The central government will also be asked for exceptional fiscal concessions allowing the town hall to dip into its Budget surplus to cover expenditure

JAVEA PROMENADES: Storm damage forgotten. resulting from the January storms. The municipality contin-
ues restoring affected zones, replacing shattered paving in Avenida Marina
Española while work has concluded on the La Grava promenade. Here, only the wall separating it from the beach the responsibility of the Coastal authority - remains to be finished. Work has commenced on repairing the La Caleta promenade while priority has been given to drafting plans for repairing the Paseo del Arenal. Meanwhile, sand dredged from the Fontana canal has been used to counter erosion on the Arenal beach, the town hall announced.
Alternative Granadella route PIC TORT, a winding road leading from Granadella beach now has guardrails. This road was built 40 years ago for an urbanisation that never materialised and has been resurfaced for the first time in four decades,
with parking spaces marked out on either side. Work cost €186,000 to complete. Pic Tort helps to alleviate parking chaos at Granadella in the summer now that the town hall closes the ac-
cess road after all parking spaces are occupied. Once the barrier goes down visitors must use a town hall minibus or tourist train and Pic Tort allows drivers to leave the beach without meeting either.
Another way of clocking on JAVEA’S 16th century San Bartolome fortresschurch was already badly in need of restoration before Storm Gloria hit the Marina Alta. Now repairs are more needed than ever as the face of the church clock, wrenched by ferocious wind from the tower, fell on the rear of the Communion chapel roof where it broke several tiles. A Denia firm has now put up the scaffolding and begun patching up the chapel roof, although at some point work must start on repairing leaks in the church roof and the many cracks in San Bartolome’s walls.

ING cuts mortgage rates
Thrifters and Swishers A RECENT survey by Mintel the world’s leading market intelligence agency has revealed an interesting fact which shows that Britain’s young people are either very poor or anxious to help the environ ment. In today’s easy come, easy go cheap fashion world, 52 per cent of those aged between 25 and 34 said that they regularly purchased sec ondhand clothes and just slightly less said they also sold their clothes which means that they belong to a new group called ‘Thrifters.’ Not only does this group buy and
By John Smith sell on the secondhand market, they are also quite happy to repair damaged or worn out clothes rather than simply throw them away. Younger people (16 to 24year olds) are ‘Swishers’ as some 75 per cent say that they are quite happy to regularly swap clothes with friends in order to have an inexpen sive way of varying their wardrobes. Also known as Generation Z, this age group are also happy to rent clothes for special occasions rather than purchase them with 54 per
cent saying that they have or would be interested in renting. The survey found that the majori ty feel that buying too many fash ion items is bad for the environ ment and they would prefer to purchase from a retailer that sold sustainable fashion ranges, but had difficulty in knowing which sellers are acting ethically. It’s almost a return to the con cept of ‘reusing, reducing and recy cling’ which their grandparents had to follow during the Second World War, so fashion outlets need to take note.
DESPITE being fined €5.4 million by the Bank of Spain for incor rectly calculating the APR of its mortgages, ING has decided to continue with its aggressive ac tivities aimed at increasing mort gage market share in Spain. Whilst the reductions are small in real terms (0.1 to 0.2 per cent), it has to be remembered that the actual mortgage rates them selves are in low single figures. Because it doesn’t pay com mission, unlike other banks, it has not been adversely affected by the new laws removing many costs from the mortgagee.

The offending LAW IN SPAIN owner has not bro ken any law. He simply ignores the rules set by the community of his neigh bours. I am supposing that he picks up the dog’s droppings and does not otherwise cause nuisance. His behaviour is annoying and shows a lack of respect for the feeling of his neighbours, but the gardens are not public land and the community has no legal power to enforce their agreed rules in this case. In fact, a Community of Property Owners cannot legally charge fines or add a surcharge to the fees of owners who ignore the mutually agreed rules.

Wind power challenges ALTHOUGH windmills have existed in some form or other for thousands of years, the concept of wind turbines to generate electricity is relatively new and is about to cause some environmental problems. Whilst far more efficient and green than burning coal in a power station, the wind turbines use blades which have a finite life and the older ones were pro duced in glass fibre which is hard to recycle. One option is to cut them down and simply add to landfill which is possibly acceptable if
A SOLUTION: One of the children’s playgrounds in Holland.
Correos to be investigated THE Spanish National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) in its review of the pricing discounts offered to large customers including public administrations believes that the
post office (Correos) may be in breach of its own regulations. It would appear that the discounts mean that the cost of handling the business is greater than the amount charged which may
be against its obligations as a public company and the matter is now under investigation. Also questioned are the high costs of posting a letter to Europe.
you have thousands of acres of unused land in the midwest of America, but not so good for the UK or anywhere with large popu lations in small areas. There are companies that have found solutions, but many of those require the use of large amounts of energy in order to re duce the old blades to pellets, gas or fertiliser and such energy use tends to reduce the value of the electricity produced in the first place. An architect firm in Holland, Superuse Studios has produced a number of playgrounds and street furniture and is currently awaiting planning permission to convert two blades into a bridge in Denmark. One of the largest producers of wind turbines is Siemens Gamesa with its headquarters in Spain and they are tackling two pro jects, firstly to make the blades even larger and secondly to en sure that they are produced from carbon fibre and then try to find an efficient and easily recyclable alternative.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I REALLY do wish people would stop asking me why, as a resident of Spain, I should be writing and giving my opinions on events and situations that arise in the UK? Well, the simple answer to that is, it’s what I do. I am still a very patriotic and staunch supporter of my birth country and, although I don’t actually reside there, I do visit on a fairly regular basis. Because of my profession, I also often find myself travelling there quite extensively. Another more important advantage of being on the outside, looking in as it were, is that you can get a far broader and often more unbiased perspective of a situation - one that can often elude those who live in the confines of the same environment day in and day out. This brings me neatly into this week’s gripe. Yet another atrocity committed by a ‘home grown’ terrorist has brought mayhem to a

peaceful British shopping centre. Yet another prisoner on early release has been allowed to walk freely among innocent citizens and maim and injure before being shot dead. No doubt there was plenty of high fiving and ‘Al-
lah Akbars’ in a number of the British prisons holding a seething cauldron of fanatics who also can’t wait to get out and carve their own bloody path to Shangri la. And what ideas do the authorities come up with to
combat the problem? Well, quite frankly not a lot. Adding 25 per cent to a sentence already cut in half, in the forlorn hope that it will give the luvvies more time to de-radicalise these people, simply doesn’t hack it. In the first place, it merely postpones the release of fanatics who will have become even more disgruntled and secondly; de-radicalisation is simply not an option. This twisted ideology is the very reason for their existence. It is all powerful. They actually want to die for it. Dogma of this nature cannot be somehow conveniently exorcised. Even the peace loving Christians went to the lions rather than surrender their religion. What the authorities need to do is get tough. First of all they must relieve these monsters of all their human rights. The introduction of a mandatory full 10-year sentence for any terrorist related offence, including the accessing or passing of terrorist propa-
ganda or its ideology in any form. Whole life sentences for all violent terrorist actions. Stopping all benefits and, as a deterrent, possible deportations of all the perpetrator’s close family members. (‘He was such a lovely boy’!) The constructions of high security prisons, preferably on some uninhabited island, with solitary confinement, a minimum of association and communication and access to only limited privileges that have to be earned. And most important of all, chipping. The obligatory insertion of a device that can not only track, but record all conversations between inmates. This should also remain for life should they ever be released. Inhumane? Tell that to the families of all the innocent loved ones who have been slaughtered by these scourges on our society.

ALIENS ALREADY LIVE AMONGST US! 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 first British cosmonaut Helen Sharman has said she believes aliens do exist, claiming extra terrestrials ‘could be living amongst us here on Earth,’ but have simply gone undetected thus far. “Aliens exist, there’s no two ways about it,” she stated, adding that: “there must be all sorts of different forms of life” among the billions of stars. Although aliens may not be made up of carbon and nitrogen like humans “it’s possible they’re here right now and we simply can’t see them.” Presumably, though, those who do make it manage to pass through Heathrow when passport control is having one of its relaxed days. The rest will just have to join the queue and wait - Border Control has no ‘guidelines’ concerning those not from a country on earth. In many low-budget, science-fic-
tion classics of the past like ‘The Invaders,’ ‘Invasion Of The Body Snatchers,’ ‘Quatermass 2,’ the alien invaders had the power to assume human form. Maybe some among the migrants amongst us aren’t just from other lands, but other planets? After all, according to the 2011 census, the UK alone underwent its biggest population surge after a decade of mass immigration. Some even believe many ‘alien migrants,’ collectively, are known as Members of Parliament since they often sound like they’re on another planet. Well, perhaps that’s because they are. Good grief! Next we’ll read northern Europe’s bad weather is the fault of aliens. Their UFOs moved the jet stream south. Anyway, let’s hope they’ve brought their wellies and brollies with them if they’re visiting the UK at the moment. Really!
Stories like these - head in bucket of sand comes to mind - do bring the crazies out. Is it a very early April Fool’s Day story - the usual time when such daft stories are regularly trotted out? What real news are we being distracted from? Elvis has been sighted on the moon - again? Slebs really do write their own novels? And Donald Trump isn’t planning to run for reelection this November? No, hang on, that is true! 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-john son.net) available online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback and audiobook.

My kitchen, my rules
BARRY DUKE AFTER recently settling down to dinner I realised I’d forgotten to bring the mustard in from the kitchen. I dashed back to fetch the jar from the shelf on which it normally sits, but it wasn’t there. This was the umpteenth time that it had moved. Normally I would grumpily ask my other half, Marcus, where he’d hidden it, and neither of us would get dinner until the mustard was found. But this time Marcus wasn’t around. He had taken himself off on a Far Eastern vacation, so it remained in whatever hidey-hole he’d found for it. I had to make do with horseradish sauce, which just didn’t cut the mustard, so to speak. I have always regarded the kitchens of every place I’d lived in as my territory, and mine alone because ‘help’ with the cooking or washing up can unleash havoc. Here’s an example of how

MY TERRITORY: A sight you’ll never see in my kitchen. things can go disastrously wrong when someone steps in to lend a hand. A friend of mine - a cordon bleu chef - told me she’d almost
battered her husband David to death with a meat mallet after he nipped into the kitchen to help with a dinner party she was
preparing for six. When Natalie briefly popped out of the kitchen to use the loo, he shot in. On seeing a roasting tray at the side of the sink that had just been used for the main duck dish, he squirted washing up liquid into the tray. On her return, Natalie shooed her husband out of the kitchen, and, obviously unaware of the detergent in the tray he was about to wash, used the contents to make a sauce. It was only when her guests started to gag and pull faces did she realise something had gone horribly wrong. When David explained ‘I was only trying to help’ she ran out of the house in tears, went to a bar, got mightily sloshed and returned home at 3am. The only time I ever shared a kitchen was when my late partner Brian and I co-bought a property with a third party called Terry Mullins in London back in the 1980s. The arrangement didn’t last long. The now-dead Mullins, who seemed a nice enough
bloke before we ended up under the same roof, proved to be a thoroughly nasty piece of work. The screaming matches we had concerned things like toilet paper (he refused to have any in the loo, preferring torn-up sheets of the Daily Mirror) to heating (each time I’d turn on the central heating, he’d turn it off). But the biggest bone of contention was the kitchen. I hated his boiled cabbage and he loathed the smell of my curries. One day, while I was out, he removed a chicken vindaloo that was simmering on the cooker and flushed it down the toilet. Such was my fury that I began cooking curry every single day. My aim was to make the house smell like an Indian restaurant. Mission accomplished, Brian and I moved out and left Mullins to de-curry the house and placate angry neighbours who’d begun complaining about the smell. Revenge is a dish best served curried!

A New Chapter for Polly’ s It’s the start of a new year and a new decade and time to turn over leaves and start fresh chapters. And this year, Polly’s Bookshop in Javea Port is 35 years old. “POLLY’S is as old as me,” says Sam, her proud owner, “and to celebrate, we are opening a new Polly’s Bookshop in Moraira. “We’ve been so well supported in Javea. Booklovers come from far and wide, but we would be lost without our regulars. “Mum and I thought it was time some had a little less far to go in search of a good read. “Like Polly’s Javea, the new shop has thousands of quality used books, fiction and non-fiction, in English, Spanish, Ger man, French and Dutch. Apart from the books that are extra special, they’ll still be €3 each with a euro credit if you want to return it.
POLLY’S BOOKSHOP: Has thousands of quality used books, fiction and non-fiction in various languages.
“I wouldn’t dare change that, but I know there are bibliophiles around who appreciate antique books. We are continuing with our busy proofreading and editing services and our popular book finding and ordering services too. It feels great finding an out of print book for someone who has been searching for it, sometimes for years. “It’s all very exciting and we hope popping into Polly’s becomes part of living in beautiful Moraira, just like Polly’s Javea is to so many bookworms. It’s even easy to get to on the Moraira Calpe Road on the row with David’s Fish and Chips Diner. And there’s parking. “Opening Polly’s Moraira is the perfect way to celebrate Polly’s Bookshop’s 35th year.”

NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England FOR a select few with the means, a qualifying vintage race car as well as the means to run a team to support you throughout, the 1000 Miglia car race would be the classic style in which to tour the northern provinces of Italy. For others who have the time and means, a next best choice would be to follow the race one way or another. For vintage car enthusiasts this is the race and the place to be in May. The food, the petrol, the views and the historic sights as well as the sounds of many sports cars pushing on. The 38th edition of the historical re-enactment of the race held from 1927 to 1957 will start from the city of Brescia on May 13, 2020 returning to Brescia on May 16. On the starting line of the most important vintage car race regularly held there is an expected 400 cars starting this year. The cars will be selected from among those registered on the site www.registro1000miglia.it. By the end of 2019 there were more than 600 cars registered, more have no doubt since registered for the this year’s race. From among the registered cars just 400 will be selected for the 2020 race

after strict examination of the entrants. There are two types of registration. The first is ‘Participant Car 1000 Miglia 1927/ 1957’ which is reserved for the individual cars, identified by number plate or chassis which were originally registered for at least one edition of the 1000 Miglia from 1927 to 1957. The second type of entrant is ‘Eligible Car 1000 Miglia,’ which certifies eligibility for the modern commemoration of the Race belonging to a model type registered for at least one edition of the 1000 Miglia from 1927 to 1957. Enzo Ferrari called the 1000 Miglia ‘A
travelling museum unique in the world’ and since 1927, the year of the first edition, the race has maintained its unique attractions, not only a car race but also a mix of history and a journey through the beauty of Italian cities, villages and countryside. The route; the start line is in Brescia with the long procession of vintage cars crossing the picturesque towns of Lake Garda, Desenzano and Sirmione continuing on through Villafranca di Verona, Mantua, Ferrara ad Ravenna finishing at Cervia - Milan Marittima. The second day will see the race start
from Cesenatico and swing through Urbino, Fabriano, Macerata , Fermo and Ascoli Piceno and Amatrice. From Rieti the vintage cars will arrive in Rome where after the usual parade through the streets of the Eternal City, Day Two will end on the via Veneto. The third and longest days racing on Friday May 15 will start in the early morning and will see the cars transit Ronciglione, Radicofani, Viterbo and Castiglione d’Orica, pausing at the magnificent Piazza II Campo di Siena. Leaving Lucca the cars will leave Tuscany crossing the Cisa Pass to the day’s finish in Parma, the 2020 Italian Capital of Culture. The fourth and final day of the race will see the route pass from Salsomaggiore Terme from the village of Castell’Arquato [Piacenza] and from Cernusco sul Naviglio a town in the province of Milan, named as the European City of Sport 2020 , then on to Bergamo before finally arriving at the finish on the Viale Venezia in Brescia. The race is no longer as dangerous as the original however that does not detract from its many attractions. Make a date one way or another to follow the car of your day dreams.

Have I missed something? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I USE a couple of online forums to ask about things that I’m not sure of. I’m careful what I put on there. I try to be concise and to the point and, of course, look forward to any answers that may be given or comments on the posts. But what really gets on my nerves is the people that hijack the conversation by taking over my thread and sending it in a completely different direction. It happens all the time. There has to be forum etiquette and it’s simple. If I ask about the correct air pressure to put in my tyres for a long journey to Portugal with a car full of people I have no desire to read about how your Aunt Fanny got her suitcase nicked at Faro airport OK? The annoying thing is that sometimes by the time I get back to read the answers to my question it’s now gone off in loads of different directions. I will, of course, just try and take it back with the one word reply to that person which is HIJACKER!
OK I may be taking a chance with this next grump but it has to be said. As I’ve mentioned before I was in the video business for over 20 years and in that time I watched thousands of movies as a buyer. Not once did I ever consider the race, religion or sexual persuasion of any actor, director, or come to that anything except was it a good movie. There is a lot of carrying on at the moment with the Baftas, Oscars and whatever other award is being given out, that there should be more women, people of colour and gay, plus any others I’ve missed nominated. My question is could it actually be a case that the movies, directors or stars that are being nominated are actually producing the best work? I’ve listened and read all the stuff people like Joaquin Phoenix has said and I’d hate it to go the other way and movies and the stars and directors were nominated because of all of the above reasons of colour, gender etc. I don’t see Joaquin refusing any awards by the way or saying you know I think I’ll give this to so and so because their performance was far superior to mine. Oh and what’s with Joaquin curtseying when introduced to the Royals? Have I missed another equality thing?

He got very angry at me and said I did not understand English at all. I told him to put his report where the sun never shines! We were all paid the same btw. After three months my final report was accepted and none of the others had had their first report accepted... I picked up my airline tickets and left the next day!

way on the server). Each person was well aware of their performance in regard to their colleagues. Even so, firing the worst performers when they were from these ethnic groups always resulted in me being called racist among other things and then they followed up by the same comments on the internet etc. It was a complete no-win situation and after some years like this, I stopped hiring from these groups. On one occasion I was hired as part of a team of Auditors in an Arabic country, I was the only Brit. The language for the Audit was English, I was asked to correct the English
OUR VIEW GLOBAL warming has been happening on Earth since Adam was alive but in those days there were no Greta Thunbergs or DiCaprios to tell us about why we should worry about how many times we fly back to our home countries, the fuel we use in our car, the eco-efficiency of our homes. All these things contribute to our global footprint - that is the impact we as individuals, through our lifestyle, have on the planet. But should we be made to feel guilty that living our lives is killing the planet and leading to the extinction of the human race? According to Dr Guy Midgley, head of the climate change research group of the National Biodiversity Institute South Africa, we live on an unusually stable planet, but periods of cooling and warming naturally happen in cycles. These periods of rising and falling temperatures over the last 500,000 years have been down to levels of methane and CO2 in the atmosphere which are not man-made. Also, levels of solar radiation vary over time and this has a significant impact on global temperatures, most notably in the Earth’s northern hemisphere. Climate change experts believe we are currently between ice ages and that the development of modern industry has had a relatively minor impact on temperatures. Over several thousand years in the earth’s history, temperatures have been higher than they currently are indicating that doing too many school runs or turning on the air con isn’t what’s going to wipe us out. So, it’s not just our fault, but does that mean we should throw caution to the wind? Not at all. Reducing greenhouse gases will slow down global warming and, while we’re the planet’s dominant species, we should do all we can to save the planet. After all, we’re only passing through.
PLANE SAILING DEAR Euro Weekly, With the majority of your readers taking flights backwards and forwards between their home country and Spain it has freaked me out a bit with all the recent news regarding aircraft. Helicopter crashes, malfunctioning landing gear, diverted flights, planes that can’t handle the weather... is it now just a case of say your prayers and hope for the best if we want an easy way to travel? Surely there are enough people working in the aeronautics industry now we can fly more safely. Plane engineers making sure they are suitable to fly. Designers discovering ways to build making fail-safe planes. Weren’t we all supposed to have our own rockets or jet boots by this point? All joking aside, getting on a Ryanair flight is bad enough as it is, before worrying if the flight is going to crash. Maybe they could upgrade their cabins to give some comfort should you be on the last flight you ever take or will they just go the whole hog and replace your one bag allowance with space for a parachute?

Work woes HI Leapy, About right, I have worked in many countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, but have only been discriminated against in Europe. I still have a letter from a major car manufacturer saying that I cannot be considered until their own citizens have all been employed. Basically their labour exchanges etc say the same thing. I have been a manager in the telecoms industry and when I have been told to cut my workforce, there inevitably have been Asian and African engineers among those that had to be cut. For me, the worst part of the job was firing people. The Asians and Africans were almost always among the least productive. Prior to the interviews, productivity figures for the project were compiled (they were available any-

This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield announces he is GAY on Instagram this morning! I’m curious as to why now. At his age, time of life etc. I suspect a subtext. Maybe some one else was going to ‘out’ him. Can’t have been nice for his wife to know that for 27 years he was at the very least uncomfortable being with her. Still, as long as HE feels lighter and HE finds peace, I suppose throwing her under a bus is acceptable. I won’t be joining in the fawning adulation, however. Janice Rosenberg

Be aware that leopards do not change their spots, they merely hide them. Those who demand your trust need a cool checking out and don't be afraid to say 'no' as and when necessary. Finances are well aspected this week with a new idea proving both worthwhile in terms of your time and profitable.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being asked to take on a new and demanding task this week may see you wishing that you had been less visible. However, don't think of the hard work involved but rather the brilliant outcome. You will be popular.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) An interest in technology is not something new to you. What is great, though, is that the penny has suddenly dropped. This week sees you understanding more and wanting to know more.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) An urge to get moving must mean that spring is round the corner. Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you. When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives. Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially. It may not be the time to make a particular move, although others think that it is. There's no problem with discussing things and talking them through. Keep up your healthy habits because you need lots of energy, especially at the weekend.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but
‘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.’

LOTTERY
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise soon sorts things out. You don't like playing the 'bad guy', but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing. A meeting at the weekend is both confusing and disarming.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention. Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction. Some feelings of loneliness will not be assuaged by working more. Perhaps it is time to consider taking on a pet or giving a current pet more attention.

The Importance of Keeping Your Feet Healthy HEALTHY feet are vital for mobility. In their lifetime, the average person walks approximately 100,000 miles. But all too often, we do not place the same emphasis on looking after our feet as we do on other parts of our body. “Keeping your feet healthy should be part of your daily routine. Just because they are furthest away from your eyes should not mean you neglect them!” Better education about foot care is important, especially for people with specific conditions that can affect the feet. High sugar levels can damage both sensory and motor nerves (neuropathy) and blood vessels (peripheral arterial disease). This means that not only can people with diabetes be at greater risk of injuring themselves because they are less sensitive to pain, heat and cold, and where their joints are in space, they can also be slower to
heal because of a poor blood supply. Problems in the foot can be roughly divided into those that stem from a systemic illness, such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis, and those that are more localised injuries, such as trauma or tendonitis. Another common foot deformity, are bunions. A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus) is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. Bunions are a progressive disorder. Symptoms usually appear at later stages, although some people never
have symptoms. Bunions are most often caused by an inherited faulty mechanical structure of the foot. It is not the bunion itself that is inherited but certain foot types that make a person prone to developing a bunion. If nonsurgical treatments fail to relieve bunion pain and when the pain of a bunion interferes with daily activities, it is time to discuss surgical op-
tions with a foot and ankle surgeon. Together you can decide if surgery is best for you. The most advanced knowledge in surgery and the use of latest technology devices allows us to perform Minimally Incision Surgery (MIS). The advantages of minimal incision surgery among others are: • Local anaesthesia, it is not necessary to use general or epidural anaesthesia • Haemostasis is not performed, so we avoid the risks associated with its use • Smaller scar • Lower risk of infections and better wound healing • Outpatient regime: there is no hospitalisation, the patient walks home • Faster recovery.
BUNIONS: Symptoms usually appear at later stages.

STAY CLEAN CLEAN eating has been the focus of many dieticians and health-food obsessives for a while now, but what does the term actually mean? Is it actually as good for you as it’s made out to be? Clean eating is defined by The Oxford Dictionary simply as: ‘Relating to a diet consisting of unprocessed, unrefined, and nutrient-rich food, typically eaten as small meals throughout the day.’ Eating a diet of fresh, unprocessed food is undoubtedly important, and is the basis for the entire clean eating movement. However, the term has now been used to describe many recent diet trends such as organic, vegan or alkaline diets. Some believe you have to cut out all gluten products to be eating ‘clean,’ others think the same for dairy. While many of these di-
GOOD STUFF: How clean is your plate?
ets have their benefits, it’s important to make sure your diet is rich with all the essential nutrients your body needs, and eliminating entire food groups sometimes defeats the purpose of healthy eating. Although society as a whole is undoubtedly eating more processed food than a hundred years ago, simply because there were less processed ingredients
back then and it was more common place to eat from scratch, the clean eating movement has had a positive impact in that it’s encouraging more people to get back to basics and consider what they actually put in their bodies. You shouldn’t cut out every indulgence in the name of healthy eating, but eating a range of unprocessed, fresh food is always important.

How to cope with post-workout soreness IT’S normal to feel a bit sore after an intense workout, but what should you do when the pain is worse than usual and is interfering with your daily life? The scientific term for post-workout aches and pains is DOMS - ‘delayed-onset muscle soreness.’ It usually peaks around two to three days following exercise as your body starts to go to town on repairing any muscle fibres that may have been torn during the workout. Occasionally, you may experience ‘extreme soreness,’ which is more likely to happen after you’ve done an intense activity that your muscles aren’t accustomed to. Just because you’re more sore, it doesn’t always mean you’re getting better workout results and can cause you more damage in the long term so don’t make a habit of exercising regularly on a high level of soreness. However, there are several simple things you can do to ease the pain. First of all, make sure you stay hydrated as research has shown a correlation between dehydration and DOMS. Water helps to purge waste products and toxins that are associated with muscle soreness. Also make sure you eat lots of protein which is vital for rebuilding muscle tissue. You could also try switching between heat and cold therapy as ice helps to reduce the swelling that is sometimes the result of extreme soreness while heat can minimise pain and tension.
PAIN NO GAIN: Take care not to overdo it when exercising.

Green Laser Therapy for Enlargement of the prostate, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BHP) GREEN light laser surgery for the prostate is also known as Photoselective Vaporisation of the Prostate, involves using a state of the art green light laser in the treatment of enlargement of the prostate gland or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. This new procedure is associated with fewer side effects and quicker recovery times than traditional surgery. Enlargement of the prostate, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BHP) is the most common problem experienced by older men, and can lead to troublesome urinary symptoms such as: • A weak or slow urinary stream • A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying • Difficulty starting urination • Frequent urination • Urgency to urinate • Getting up frequently at night to urinate • A urinary stream that starts and stops • Straining to urinate • Continued dribbling

of urine • Returning to urinate again minutes after finishing Treatment options include medication and surgery. Green light laser treatment is a new treatment option, different to traditional surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure that evaporates the enlarged prostate tissue that is causing the block to urine flow from the bladder. This treatment, results in significantly less bleeding compared to traditional surgery methods, called transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).
QUINOA hit the foodie headlines several years ago as being the super grain you should add to your diet. It’s possible to find quinoa products in most health stores but its recent popularity means many supermarkets now stock them too. It is believed humans first started consuming the thousands of years ago when the Incas discovered the quinoa seed was suitable for consumption. This super food is packed with lots of good stuff that make it good for you. Quinoa is packed with protein, which is essential for repairing muscle tissue and keeping the body in ship shape. It also contains around twice as much fibre as other grains, which is essential in aiding digestion and could also help to prevent heart disease as it keeps blood pressure at healthy levels and prevents the risk of developing diabetes. The super grain also has a good level of iron which is needed to keep our red blood cells healthy. It increases brain function because the brain absorbs around 20 per cent of the oxygen from our blood. It is rich in magnesium and manganese, essential nutrients needed to relax blood vessels, preventing migraines, promote healthy blood sugar control and protect cells from free radicals.

Others prefer to minimise the impact of time, using all of the options at our disposal to maintain an image that seems to defy the sands in the hourglass. The important thing is that you are satisfied with the person that you see when you look in the mirror. If you’re not happy with the image that you’re presenting to the world, here’s some of the options that you might wish to explore. Cosmetic surgery Cosmetic surgery can create some dramatic changes in your appearance. Cosmetic surgery is a broad field and can refer to major procedures such as face-lifts or nose-jobs, to less-intrusive aesthetic procedures such as fillers or Botox. While cosmetic surgery can produce results that will seem as if you have turned back the hands of time, these procedures are generally fairly expensive. There’s also risks to your health in undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures. Even something that seems relatively
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR, ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED?
EMBRACING AGE: Perhaps it’s time to explore the options available to you. minor - such as having fillers or Botox injected into your face - does require fairly toxic substances to be injected into sensitive parts of your anatomy. Non-surgical treatments Many women are looking to non-surgical beauty treatments to help enhance their appearance and boost their confi-
dence when looking in the mirror. The most effective non-surgical beauty treatments are when we see nature and science working in harmony together. Using herb and plant extracts, natural products that draw on traditional techniques have been the foundation of women’s daily self-care routine for cen-
turies. With the enhancements now available through scientific research and testing, these natural products can be more effective than ever. Non-surgical options, such as natural beauty products, are not only an opportunity to avoid invasive surgery, they’re also significantly less expensive. You may also have ethical considerations when it comes to your preferred beauty regime. If you want assurance that the products you’re using are vegan, then you’ll need to be looking at natural beauty product options. The benefits of natural beauty products While avoiding surgery and minimising costs are important considerations when looking at natural beauty products as an alternative to cosmetic surgery, ultimately you need to be confident that the beauty solutions that you’re choosing will deliver the results that you’re looking for. If you’re disappointed when you look in the mirror, maybe it’s time to explore the options available to you, and the best option by far is the Alberto Bianchi Face Lift Serum.

Lathering in lavender LAVENDER oil is extracted from the flowers of the lavender plant, usually using steam, and is often used in beauty and health products such as aromatherapy oil, lotions and soaps. The essential oil also works well when blended with other essential oils such as pine, cedar wood, geranium and nutmeg. The health benefits of lavender oil have been r a v e d about for centuries. It has the ability to relieve pain, enhance blood circulation, get rid of nervous tension, disinfect the skin, enhance blood circula-
tion, and treat respiratory problems among others. It also works as an effective bug repellent and has anti-inflammatory qualities that help to reduce the irritation if you do get bit-
ten. Lavender oil has been used for centuries to induce sleep and can be used to treat insomnia. Studies on elderly people have revealed their sleep regularity increases when they place some lavender essential oil on their pillows due to its relaxing impact. For this reason it also helps to calm the nerves and ease anxiety. The stimulating aroma has been proven to get rid of nervous exhaustion and restlessness while increasing mental activity at the same
time. This, therefore, makes it effective in treating depression, headaches, emotional stress and nervous tension. One study revealed that people taking exams suffered from less anxiety if they inhaled lavender and rosemary oil before taking the test.
PURPLE GAIN: Lavender has been proven to reduce emotional stress and nervous tension.

Spanish Stars at the Oscars THIS year’s Academy Awards (the 92nd edition of the Oscars), held last Sunday, February 9, 2020, was celebrated at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. For the second year in a row, the Oscars went hostfree. Luckily, former show emcees Steve Martin and Chris Rock essentially filled the part with a series of jokes at the top of the show. Highlights included Joaquín Phoenix winning ‘Best Actor’ for ‘Joker,’ Renée Zellweger taking home ‘Best Actress’ for ‘Judy,’ and ‘Parasite’ winning ‘Best Picture.’ We were amused by ‘Once Upon a Time’ child actress Julia Butters, who brought a turkey sandwich in her purse, as she said, “I don’t like some of
the food here!” The red carpet was also host to some of our wonderful Spanish stars, including Pedro Almodovar, Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and singer Gisela. Penelope Cruz appeared wearing something out of the norm from her usual style; a black, custommade, vintage-inspired Chanel gown, detailed with a pearl belt and a Camellia (a flower usually linked to the French house). ‘Pain and Glory’ was nominated for ‘Best International Film,’ a film which Antonio Banderas worked on together with Pedro Almodovar. Antonio said that he was very proud that this film was made in the PENELOPE CRUZ: Wore something Spanish lanout of the norm from her usual style. guage.

SOME years ago I was working with a company whose offices were round the corner from the famous Italian restaurant Locanda Locatelli, owned by the charismatic Giorgio Locatelli. I was taken for lunch there quite a few times and Giorgio would often come out of the kitchen and have a chat with us. It was Giorgio who would do wonderful things with seasonal vegetables (and truffles if you had the funds!). He told me that a carbonara should never have cream, only beaten eggs. This is a delicate and creamy dish that shows off the wonderful flavour of fennel. Put a 500g pack of spaghetti into boiling salted water (enough for four people). You now have 10 min-
utes… Soften a whole large fennel cut into strips in some olive oil for five minutes. Do not let it colour, just soften. Add two crushed garlic cloves. Then add some chard leaves that have been chopped into thin strips (you could use spinach). Let it wilt then add salt and pepper. Beat four eggs in a bowl and grate in a good handful of parmesan. Mix well. When the spaghetti is ready, add to the pan with a tablespoon of the pasta cooking water. Mix together and leave for 30 seconds. Then mix in the egg and cheese mixture. Feel free to add some more parmesan and black pepper. If you want to spice it up a little, a few chilli flakes will work.

THIS is a dish I cooked on Masterchef for Natalie Coleman (2013 champion) and got me through my next round! Might be worth giving it a go. It looks more complicated than is really is. A sweet combination with buttery puff pastry. You can always use pears or apples instead or the figs. Get imaginative and create your own!
Raspberry fig and vanilla tartin served with mascarpone...
A SWEET COMBINATION: Served on buttery puff pastry.
PREHEAT the oven to 200°C, cut out four circles of pastry 3cm/1¼” bigger than the blini pans. If you don’t have blini pans you can use a bigger tin (non-stick) and make one big tartin. For the tarts, divide the sugar, butter, balsamic vinegar, vanilla and cardamom pods equally between the four blini pans (or one bigger tin), heat until you have a dark caramel. Remove from the heat and carefully remove the cardamom pods. Arrange the fig halves in the pans and place the rasberries in between the figs. Cover the figs with the pastry circles, tucking any excess pastry down the side
of the pan, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. When cooked set aside to rest in the pans for five-10 minutes. When ready to serve, turn the tarts out onto serving plates, serve with mascarpone. 10 tbsp sugar 80g unsalted butter 8 cardamom pods 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 vanilla pods (use the seeds only) A punnet of raspberries 12 figs, cut in half 320g puff pastry

Rougher roads VOLKSWAGEN has unveiled the Taigun, a small SUV designed specifically for the Indian market and due to go into production in 2021, at the New Delhi Auto Expo. The production version of the Taigun will be the first Volkswagen launched under the VW Group’s ‘India 2.0’ project. The new model, similar in size to the European-market T-Cross, is closely related to the Skoda Vision IN concept that has also been unveiled at the event. Both vehicles are built on a new local market version of Volkswagen’s MQB A0 modular platform and will be built alongside each other. The Taigun is marginally longer than the T-Cross, with a wheelbase of 2,651mm. It also offers an increased 205mm of ground clearance, in order to better cope with India’s rougher roads. The exterior design is bespoke to the Taigun, with a more upright design than the T-Cross and greater use of chrome to reflect local tastes.
Inside, the concept features a digital instrument cluster and an 8.0-inch central touchscreen. According to Autocar India, the Taigun will be powered by a 130hp, 1.5litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, with a CNG-powered version also being considered. The Taigun and Vision IN will both gain ‘notchback’ variants - similar to the Brazilian VW Ventos - in the future. While the initial focus for both machines will be India, the VW Group could export them to similar markets including Brazil and South America - in the future.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher VOLVO has a long history of producing robust and spacious vehicles and its SUV range reflects that and adds luxury features and premium styling to give the brand a formidable presence in its sector. Rivals include the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Range Rover Discovery yet Volvo’s XC models still stand out and have their own distinctive character and appeal. There are several XC variants in petrol, diesel and mild-hybrid form, with multiple trim levels and prices from €45,903 (£38,715). The five-seat XC60 is a popular choice and my test model was a T5 in upper range R-Design trim with 2.0-litre 250 hp petrol engine, auto transmission and all-wheel drive. Priced at €50,432 (£42,535), this version has a

Volvo XC60 T5 R-Design quick 0-100 kph time of 6.4 seconds, top speed of 220 kph (137 mph) and average fuel economy of 10.9 kpl (30.8 mpg). Emissions are 174 g/km. Based on the platform of Volvo’s larger XC90, the XC60 is shorter, seats five instead of seven, and and is more nimble to handle. In R-Design form it has more sporty styling, larger alloy wheels, lowered suspension and additional equipment. Standard kit on this version includes voice-activated control system, satnav, connectivity, dualzone climate control, powered tailgate, front and rear parking sensors and safety features which include auto-emergency
braking with cyclist, pedestrian and large animal detection, lane-keep assist and run-off road protection which tightens seats belts and also gives additional spinal protection thanks to special seat frames.

functional layout with most controls via a vertical-format central touch screen which reacts quickly. The cabin is roomy for five adults and seating is very comfortable. Boot space is 505 litres, expandable to 1,432 litres by dropping the rear seats to provide a flat load floor. When it comes to driving, the XC60 performs beautifully with crisp smooth acceleration and excellent steering feedback. The firmer suspension on the R-Design version boosts grip, reduces cornering pitch, yet still provides comfortable ride quality. Summing up, the Volvo XC60 is a classy and polished performer bringing a dash of Scandinavian design flair to the sometimes rather staid SUV sector.

BERNARD, Richarlison and Dominic CalvertLewin were on target as Everton inflicted another defeat on Crystal Palace to move up to seventh in the Premier League. Everton broke the deadlock with a lovely goal in the 18th-minute, Bernard burying a first time half-volley after a delightful cross by Theo Walcott, who unfortunately limped off with a hamstring injury a short while later. Jordan Pickford then allowed a routine shot from Christian Benteke squirm through his legs for the Belgian’s first goal in 34 appearances as Palace restored parity after the interval, and moments later the 29year-old unwittingly struck the post. Just when it looked like Everton were on the ropes, however, the hosts took the lead through a fine solo goal from Richarlison on the break, the Brazilian netting his

And CalvertLewin sealed the points with his 13th of the campaign in the dying stages, reacting quickest to bundle home after Richarlison had struck the woodwork. The victory sees Everton leapfrog Manchester United and Wolves to move level on points with sixth-placed Sheffield United; Crystal Palace, winless this calendar year, remain just six points above the drop zone in 14th. Everton had slipped into the relegation zone after a crushing 5-2 defeat at rivals Liverpool
Moraira-Teulada U3A Golf Report Bonalba Course ON January 29, 18 members of U3A Golf Teulada Moraira made the journey to Bonalba Golf Course, situated on the outskirts of Alicante and about an h o u r ’s d r i v e . T h e w e a t h e r w a s exceptional for the time of year with a clear/part cloudy sky and light winds. Unfortunately one player was sick and couldn’t make it, but the notice was too late to let the agent/course know. We had our usual sweepstake for the number of balls lost, but on this occasion nobody picked up the money. It will roll over to the next event at Levante. The format for the day was Individual Stableford with two nearest the pins. The course was in reasonable condition, although the fairways were scrappy in places. Some of the pin placements were very difficult indeed and anybody with a ball above the hole couldn’t stop the putt. The consensus
was quick greens are fine, but they must be fair. Overall the greens were blemish free. The results for the Stableford Competition were: 1st with a score of 40 points (and cut plenty), Robin Woods 2nd with a score of 39 points, Gordon Mitchell 3rd with a score of 36 points, Neal Pedlingham (new member). Nearest the pins, both won by Gordon Mitchell (quite a day). Congratulations to all our winners. The next game was due to be played at Levante yesterday, February 12 as an Individual Stableford. To play for the society you first need to be a member of the U3A Moraira/Teulada which meets on the first Monday of every month at the Salóns GL, Avenida del Mediterráneo 32, Teulada at 10.30am, except July and August. All new members welcome whatever your standard of golf.

However, since Ancelotti’s first game in charge, a 1-0 victory over Burnley on Boxing Day - the last time Crystal Palace won a league game - The Toffees have lost only to Manchester City in the Premier League, and now, perhaps, even have ambitious hopes of upsetting the top four.
