IN the words of the song, things can only get better and this is what is happening across the towns and cities in the Costa del Sol. One important gauge to the state of an economy is the amount of property development and the ease of obtaining building approval from individual councils on the Costa del Sol and Marbella Mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, recently attended a presentation by the Leading Property Agents of Spain (LPA), the first real estate association on the Costa del Sol.

GOOD VIBRATIONS IDEAL CITY: Mayor Ángeles Muñoz with members of the LPA. Councils across the Coast are doing all that they can to encourage visitors to enjoy the optimism that is coming from

residents as they recognise the importance of following social distancing and wearing masks as they journey to the

beaches. One very positive expectation for summer is that fewer Spaniards are likely to travel abroad and

will look to spend time by the beach towns as travel from Madrid and Sevilla is quick and easy with visitors expecting a warm welcome. Hotels have reopened, bars and restaurants are making great offers and there is a positive feeling that things will continue to

approve as time goes by. Things have been tough and some businesses have had to close but the majority have been sensible and have taken their time to ensure that they meet all of the expected standards of hygiene before opening their doors again.

Supporting nature LAST Saturday (July 19) representatives of the Mijas Council in collaboration with WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) as well as the group Seeds of Consciousness were in the Sierra de Mijas to check on the species planted there a few months ago. Observing social distancing, they visited the area of La Gitana to irrigate and monitor the 300 native trees consisting of cork, oaks and wild olive trees. This is to be a regular event with five visits of this type already scheduled over the next few weeks in order to ensure that the area is able to boast a high proportion of native trees.

AGE CONCERN Fuengirola, Mijas & Benalmadena were delighted to receive a heap of goodies to distribute to local people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Beach cameras THE municipality of San Roque has 17 kilometres of beach front (with four blue flag beaches) covering Puente Mayorga and Campamento and then Alcaidesa to Sotogrande and Torreguadiaro. Its mayor, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, recognises that these are very popular beaches, attracting literally thousands of visitors and in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, the council has in-

creased the amount spent on the beaches this year to €1.5 million. Not only has it been strengthening existing services such as cleaning and citizen security, but three new services have been launched. One is through the Internet, and includes an application for mobile devices, which reports on the capacity of each beach, the flag that flies (red, amber or green) and wind speed.

Next, a public address system has also been installed to remind beach goers of the rules that must be followed and now video cameras have been installed in prime areas that attract the most visitors so at a glance, you can see how busy each area is. Images can be viewed in real time at http://www.lacostadecadiz. com/?s=SAN+ROQUE.

Clean coastline THE local pressure group Mi Moana is arranging a socially distanced beach and underwater cleaning at Playa de Calahonda on Friday July 24 from 9.30am. It is officially approved by the Mijas Council and gloves and bags as well as hand sanitiser will be provided but participants should bring their own reusable water bottles.

THE government of Andalucia will hand out free face masks to elders in order to help reduce the risk of them contracting the coronavirus. Those over the age of 80 can go to pharmacies across the autonomous community and request them for free. Those over the age of 65 who are pensioners or suffer from some previous pathology that may be aggravated by Covid19, can also benefit from this new policy. However, the distribution of free masks in pharmacies will begin with those over the age of 80 in order to avoid crowds. This week they hope to distribute 2.5 million packs, each with

more part of our daily clothing, because it saves lives, our health system and our economy since neither Andalucia nor Spain nor Europe “can resist a new quarantine.” The Ministry of Health and Families’ plan to control the pandemic since the State of Alarm is to contract 8,200 nurses who will work to trace possible cases, whilst there are also 450 epidemiologists. Outbreaks are the new worrying focus of the pandemic that Spain must deal with. The Junta de Andalucia is seriously considering adopting stricter measures within the nightlife industry, which is currently under threat.

SPAIN’S Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya, held a meeting with the mayor of La Línea de la Concepcion, Juan Franco, on Wednesday, July 22 prior to the meeting scheduled with the mayors of the region the following day to discuss matters related to the SpanishBritish negotiations on Brexit. The mayor was delighted that the minister fulfilled one of the promises that she made during the meeting they held in Madrid last February by meeting him separately. Juan Franco believes that the approach of the current head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one that is most appropriate saying “It puts the emphasis of all negotiations and issues in relation to Gibraltar from the standpoint of the citizen, that is, the border worker.”

Protocol for masks LOTS of confusion, on the mask front again, (not really a surprise is it?). What is the protocol when travelling in vehicles? Well they are actually very straightforward, so as a public service here are the rules: IN A CAR *If you are alone you don’t have to wear a mask. *If you are with members of your household you don’t have to wear a mask. *If you are with people who do not live in your household you must wear a mask. PUBLIC TRANSPORT *You must wear a mask at all times on public transport, be it a bus, train, taxi or Uber.

MOTORCYCLE *Riding alone you do not need to wear a mask. *Riding with a member of your household as pil-

lion, no mask required. *Riding with someone pillion who is not a member of your household then you must wear a

mask and gloves (a full face helmet is acceptable). Hopefully this will help to stop any confusion.

RIVAL CHAMPS: The chance meeting in Marbella. TYSON FURY and Anthony Joshua both vowed to keep alive their dream of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion during a chance meeting in Marbella. The rival champs ran into each other over the weekend as they enjoyed some downtime ahead of their respective training camps. Joshua from Watford and Manchester-born Fury both currently hold the world heavyweight belts. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn explained what the pair chatted about in the chance meeting. “It was amazing, people think it was a setup,” he said.

“AJ said he was walking down the road and Fury drove up and opened the window and was like, ‘Alright?’ “I think he said to AJ, ‘Make sure you beat Kubrat Pulev.’ And AJ said, ‘Make sure you beat Deontay Wilder.’ “And they both said, ‘I will, and I’ll see you next year’.” The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc with the boxing schedule and means Fury is likely to have to also fight Dillian Whyte before he can take on Joshua. Whyte has been waiting for more than three years for his shot at the WBC title and must take on the champion by February.

It usually lives far from the shore and avoids getting closer. When the dolphins do get stranded, they tend to have their eyes closed, because they are frightened, explained Juan Jesús Martín of Malaga’s Aula del Mar. He highlighted the importance of not getting too close to a stranded dolphin and avoiding loud noises, as this can stress the animal out and even cause a heart attack. The best thing to do is to call the 112 emergency number, who will contact the nearest marine centre to come to the dolphin’s rescue.

THE Miss Gibraltar Pageant 2020 which is sponsored by the Gibraltar Ministry of Culture has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for 2021. Miss Gibraltar 2019, Celine Bolaños, will continue undertaking the duties of Miss Gibraltar until a new Miss Gibraltar is crowned. According to a ministry spokesperson, part of the reason for postponing the event is the organisers’ desire to provide the contestants with a proper Miss Gibraltar experience, to allow for the participants to be well prepared for the show. In addition, it was considered important for the winner to be well placed to represent the Rock at the Miss World Finals later this year. The hard decision to postpone the show was taken in the light of the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic, with the safety of all participants in mind. More information will be made available at a later date, especially whether Miss Gibraltar 2019 will represent the Rock again should Miss World 2020 go ahead.

Clearing rural roads

ALERT to the potential danger of fire in this particular period of hot weather, the Estepona Council has sent workers to 20 different rural roads in the municipality to clear dry vegetation from the roadsides. Work will cover more than 120 kilometres of roads which will not only make it more unlikely that fires could be started by the throwing of a burning cigarette end, but the cleaning should improve visibility for drivers. This is an ongoing project which is intensified during the summer and then repeated just before the start of the rainy season.

These animals are responsible for damage to parks, gardens and urban areas as well as breaking street furniture and a

Understandably, the council wants to see the money used to support the residents of the town and its infrastructure rather than see it disappear into government coffers. The mayor has a record of criticising the current government of

At one time the boars were scared of humans but more recently they have come to consider them food sources as they raid bins for leftovers and can even attack if they consider that someone is carrying food. Children are advised to

be very careful if they spot the animals in the open and must not make loud noises or sudden movements so they are not scared into attacking, although adults, may, if they consider there is sufficient distance, attempt to frighten them away.

Mask the homeless AS the laws on the wearing of protective face masks have changed and the police in Fuengirola have already begun issuing fines, we ask the question: What is being done to make sure the town’s homeless are adhering to the strict rules? Surely any person regardless of whether they have a home or not could be considered a carrier and spreader of the Covid infection. We are constantly reminded that a good, strong immune system can help lower our chances along with good hygiene, especially handwashing. Some may ask if these are standards that people on the streets are able to follow, mainly due to the lack of funds to buy immune-boosting foods or vitamins and the facilities to follow a good hygiene regimen. As we report of whole towns being issued free face masks, surely there could be something arranged to provide sanitary measures for those unlucky enough to be on the streets. As those who have access to newspaper and TV have access to details about health protocols, laws and the importance of masks, perhaps somebody should provide these details to those who do not have these luxuries. Instead of walking by or donating a few coppers, maybe we could donate packs of masks?

EU recovery fund: “a great agreement for Spain” AFTER four days of intense and sometimes distinctly testy debate on a post-coronavirus recovery plan, the EUmember state leaders have finally reached what Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez described as a “great agreement for Spain and for Europe.” Spain is set to do pretty well out of the €750 billion stimulus package. The country will get €140 billion. This represents somewhere in the region of 11 per cent of Spain’s GDP. Of the total amount, €72,700 will be in the form of direct assistance, a clearly pleased Sanchez commented at a press briefing in Brussels on Tuesday July 21 shortly after the deal was reached. “There is no doubt that today is one of the most

through in the future. Sanchez also said he believed the whole of the EU will benefit from the plan. “Today all Europeans win and the European Union will come out much stronger,” he maintained.

Free Parking Killing for culture

ONE HOUR: Free parking for shoppers. A N X I O U S t o e n s u re that Marbella business e s t a b l i s h m e n t s a re inviting to shoppers, the local council in collaboration with the Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (Apymem) are giving visitors one hour of free parking. So far seven car parks in the centre of Marbella have agreed to join

this scheme which is due to last until October and more owners of car parks are being encouraged to join. For many, one hour will not be enough time, but from the car parks’ point of view, if the free parking encourages greater use, then overall business will increase for all. It is argued that there

will be a saving in emissions as fewer cars will drive around looking for above ground parking, even though the council did reinstate the blue pay zones when the city came out of lockdown. In due course a leaflet will be issued giving details of all the car parks involved and how to qualify for the free parking.

THE health crisis has led to the cancellation of many events across the whole of Andalucia. From massive concerts by world renowned rock stars like Lenny Kravitz to traditional religious festivities important to Spanish culture like what would have been the recent Día de la Virgen del Carmen and the popular week long August Feria. Not only are these celebrations a chance for communities to come together, but they are also a huge economic pull for the region who could use every penny they can get. However, it has now been announced that the first ‘post-Covid-19’ bullfight is to be held on Saturday, August 1, in Estepona. Event organisers promise that new health measures will be in place for the controversial event with reduced capacity, the use of masks being required during the show and attendees temperatures to be taken at the entrance.

Should bullfighting be the type of event that is given the green light over other celebrations at such a time? Should religion and community spirit take a back seat to what many people describe as a ‘barbaric sport’? The event in Estepona will feature ‘star’ Cayetano Rivera who comes from a family dynasty of bullfighters. Rivera pointed out in a recent interview that he believes the bullfighting sector has been one of the most affected by the coronavirus pandemic. He also stated that there is a concern that the world of the bull is disappearing and went on to complain that some political parties that ‘insist on calling into question what bullfighting means for our bullfighting culture.’ As some areas of Spain like Murcia are shutting down restaurants, bars and clubs in fear of a second wave of the virus, is a bullfight really the place that Spaniards wish to gamble with their life?

Long-awaited opening TEN years after the work on the Malaga Metro started, the Avenida de Andalucia in the centre of Malaga has opened at last. It was a job that was only supposed to take a few months. but instead lasted for 10 years. However, the work on the Malaga Metro is not over, and the completion date is still unclear. It is at least, a great relief for the city to get

cut off to traffic for a decade, making the area chaotic to navigate for vehicles and pedestrians alike. The avenue is now completely clear of any obstructions all the way down to the park. The president of the Junta de Andalucia, Juan Manuel Moreno and the mayor of Malaga, Franciso de la Torre, inaugurated the official opening of the Avenida last week, which includes a new fountain ‘Las Tres Gutanillas’ in the Poet Manuel Alcántara square. Moreno was glad to see the end of the works, which “limited the development” of the city for so long and insisted that now Malaga could “return to normal.”

Political Viewpoint from Spain by DAMON MITCHELL AS face masks now become obligatory at all times in different provinces throughout Spain, it seems outrageous for the government to impose the luxur y, or non-essential, tax of 21 per cent on an item that is now a health and safety necessity. At the end of June, before the new law change, Congress approved the asking of the government to red u c e t h e I VA o n f a c e masks, gloves and sanitising gels from the current 21 per cent to 4 per cent, mainly because at that time they were for recommended use and many families could not cope with the cost. H o w e v e r, t h e P S O E a n d United Podemos voted against the measure. The Ciudadanos political party’s proposal has had

the support of the remainder of the political groups. It states that “if there was a consensus to reduce IVA on books, magazines and electronic newspapers during the pandemic, there should be, with more reason, the modification of the tax in this case, since few things are more necessary today and irreplaceable than phar maceutical elements for protection and prevention against the contagion of the coronavirus.” Ciudadanos Congresswoman Mari Carmen Martínez argued that many families now have an additional expense for the purchase of these mandatory sanitary materials. At a time when “its economy is already quite affected in itself” by the crisis caused by the Covid-19. The initiative is”a way to soften the eco-

European Union already said in 2013 that the application of hyper-reduced IVA could not be expanded without modifying European regulations. For this reason, it has

asked Ciudadanos to withdraw the non-law proposal and to transfer it to the European Parliament. Surely with the passing of the new laws to make masks obligatory, there should be applied pressure to reduce or eliminate this tax. At a time when the government claim to want to help their people through economic crisis, it appears they are creating unnecessary costs.

Mortgage charge decision GOOD news for many home owners in Spain as the European Court of Justice has ruled that many charges made by banks in respect of the cost of arranging mortgages are abusive and must be stopped. In theory therefore all those who paid such costs are due for refunds and future mortgage costs will in the main be for the banks to cover. There is however one caveat and that is if national law requires the person taking the mortgage to pay the costs, then that is allowed.

Bank borrowing THE Bank of Spain has revealed that Spanish banks borrowed more than €196 billion from the European Central Bank in June which is an 11.6 per cent increase over May and is the highest level of borrowing since November 2013.

Fewer workers THERE were 649,000 fewer workers on UK payrolls between March and June of this year according to the UK Office for National Statistics and total weekly hours worked fell by a record 175.3 million due to the pandemic.

Accused of Impropriety AN organisation known as the Good Law Project has raised sufficient public funding to appoint a top firm of London barristers to take action against Michael Gove Minister for the Cabinet Office and Dominic Cummings Chief Adviser to the Prime Minister. What is known as a pre­action proto­ col letter was sent to the pair alleging that there have been irregularities in the placing of government contracts with a small public relations company called Public First. Put simply, the directors of the com­ pany are known to be friends of both

men and indeed they either worked with Cummings or for Gove in the past and they were awarded a contract worth £840,000 (€920,000) to under­ take research work on Covid­19. According to the Guardian newspa­ per, government work is legally re­ quired to be put out for competitive tender to ensure the best qualified com­ pany is appointed, unless there are ex­ ceptional circumstances, such as an un­ foreseen emergency. The Cabinet Office will argue that there was an emergency situation in place which allowed it to instruct Public

First to start their work in March 2020 and then formalise the appointment in June 2020 as they were researching Covid­19. The counter argument as presented in the pre­action protocol letter is that according to data available on the gov­ ernment website, part of the work un­ dertaken was research into Brexit which the lawyers contest makes the granting of the contract illegal. Gove and Cummings have until July 23 to respond and if their response is ac­ ceptable that may be the end of the matter, or it may result in court action.

How is annuity taxed? In his book You and the Law in Spain for 2011 David Searl notes that both lifetime and fixed­ term annuities have tax reductions. They must be de­ clared in the investment part of the tax form. I have a Swedish annuity with a fixed time of 20 years. I am 80 years old and I have been declaring the annuity as lifetime at 8 per cent. But I think this is wrong. What percentage of the yearly amount should be de­ clared? H G (by email)

A fixed­term annuity of 20 years pays tax on YOU AND THE LAW 25 per cent of the IN SPAIN yearly income. If you receive €20,000 each year from your fixed­term annuity, you will be taxed on €5,000. You declare this income in the invest­ ment part of the tax return. For investment income up to €6,000, the tax rate is 19 per cent, so this would draw tax of €950. However, you can deduct your personal minimo vital from your total income. If you are 80 years old, this reduction is €8,100. You can also apply this reduction to your Swedish pen­ sion income. You need a 2018 law book and a Spanish tax advi­ sor.

RECYCLING: Founder of Loop Tom Szaky. HUNGARIAN born and now US­based Tom Szaky creat­ ed in 2001 the innovative and award­winning recy­ cling company TerraCycle UK after coming up with the idea to use worm poop as an organic fertiliser. Eighteen years and four books later with TerraCycle operating in over 20 coun­ tries, the company launched Loop ­ a revolutionary way of shopping sustainably ­ in the US and in France and now for the first time it has entered into a trial arrange­ ment with Tesco in the UK. Customers sign up with Loop free of charge and can order a currently small

range of products which will be delivered by Loop in reusable packaging, cutting down on plastic waste. This initiative is a key part of the Tesco 4Rs plan: Re­ move, Reduce, Reuse, Recy­ cle. The items are placed in a reusable tote pack (cutting out plastic bags and card­ board boxes) and once the items have been used, Loop will collect the bags and arrange for the containers to be hygienically cleaned and returned filled if re­ quired. If the trial is successful, Tesco expect to extend the range of products available.

Ready to Eat returns Portugal to be added before the end of the year. Ever conscious of the consumer de­ mand for healthier eating it is introduc­ ing a number of special dishes which includes vegetables, fish, and brioche­ based sandwiches as well as a Hot Deli

counter which will include roasts, ribs and Frango chicken, a Portuguese spe­ ciality. All of the takeaway food will be served in sustainable packaging made from sugarcane or recyclable card­ board, which is in keeping with Mer­

By linking the mask to a smartphone, it is possible to translate what is being said in up to nine languages including Spanish and as the unit is de­ signed to be worn over any fab­ ric face mask you simply change the under mask on a regular ba­ sis.

Land needed IT is British government poli­ cy to see the building of 300,000 new homes each year, but usable land has to be found from somewhere. Estate agents Knight Frank have undertaken research which shows that there are 103,000 public and private car parks in England, many of which are either near to ac­ cessible public transport or are close to other car parks. They estimate that if all of these car parks were used for housing, more than two million new homes could be built raising billions of pounds in land tax revenue.

New ships CONSIDERING the plight of cruise lines around the world who have no idea when they can welcome back passengers or in­ deed if people will be prepared to take cruises, a relatively small British company has just added two more ships to its fleet.

To keep in touch with con­ sumers (who it refers to as the ‘Boss­ es’), the company constantly conducts focus group sessions at its innovation centre located in Burjassot (Valencia), with the aim of listening to and captur­ ing feedback on the food being pro­ duced by more than 120 specialist sup­ pliers.

FINANCE, BUSINESS & LEGAL ATLANTIA, the Italian toll road compa­ ny which owns Spanish equivalent Abertis has been told by the Italian Government that if it wishes to contin­ ue to operate, it will need to give up an Italian subsidiary Autostrade. To make matters worse however, offi­ cials of all of the unions who have staff working for Abertis in Spain have called for a series of strikes on the Spanish mo­ torways during July and August. They argue that as Abertis is not en­ tering into new agreements concerning members’ employment rights and pay, they have no other course of action than to call out all 1,300 employees on strike. The intention is to target four week­ ends at the height of summer where staff will not be collecting tolls on any road managed by Abertis which repre­ sents about half of all of the Spanish toll roads. According to website zamora24ho ras.com the strikes will take place be­

What is not clear is whether the roads will then be closed completely, opened free of charge or drivers will be expected to pay using automatic coin collecting machines or credit cards which has the potential to cause long queues and inconvenience to road users. Abertis has suffered financially from the lockdown and lack of tourists so this action could have significant long­term consequences.

Nation of whingers

WHAT a sad nation of whingers the UK has become. Imagine trying to govern a bunch of people who do nothing but moan? To me Boris and Co have the most unenviable task o f t r y i n g t o re m a i n p o p u l a r a n d whip up enthusiasm from a population who seem to have almost lost the will to live; but then who can really blame them? Over the years, the indigenous citizens have been swamped with illegal immigrants, torn apart with acts of terrorism, and watched their neighborhoods demolished and razed to the ground. They have experienced faceless skyscraper rehousing with different cultures they don’t understand and been consistently accused of racism. They have seen crimes of violence soar to record levels, observed the demise of free speech and all but lost their own identities. With the country now being throttled by the coronavirus and surrounded by a whole host of ‘experts,’ who deliver up far more answers than questions, is it no wonder the people are desperately seeking out someone to blame? This week however, when the mayor of Leicester at-

CAMPAIGN: Will the name of the White House be changed?

tempted to pass the buck and blame the government for his local ‘slave labour’ factories which were deemed responsible for a new ‘spike’ in the Covid-19 pandemic, Boris, in a move that to me reeked of someone heartily sick of being blamed for just about everything, decided to turn over the whole responsibility of dealing with local outbreaks onto the councils themselves. Brilliant. It’s about time both officials and

the citizens, who have grown to expect the ‘nanny state’ to pander to their every whim, grew a pair and began to take responsibility for their own actions. Well done Boris. Now you can blame them when they make a total cock up of it all. Twice I have visited South Africa. The first during apartheid and then some years later after it had been abolished. I remember, during my second visit, laughing to myself about one of the country’s new

directives suggesting that you should no longer request a white coffee but preferably ask for a coffee with milk. How ridiculous is that I thought? Thank God that could never happen in the UK. Wrong! It now appears that some of these insecure trouble makers actually want the word white eliminated from just about everything, Whitehaven, Whitechurch, Snow White; the whole shebang. It doesn’t even end there. In the States they are actually campaigning to change the name of the White House. And do you know something, with the help of the luvvies and appeasing political correct mob; they could one day quite possibly get their way. You honestly couldn’t make it up. No wonder the true British populace never stops moaning. With the lily livered politicians and authorities frightened to do anything in case they ‘offend’ someone, moaning and griping is just about all they’ve have left! Thanks for all your wonderful support in the recent EWN poll. It was a resounding victory for common sense and the freedom of speech. Bless you all. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com.

SOUNDING THE ALARM EARLIER 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

ON December 31 last year, Chinese media reported for the first time on an outbreak of viral pneumonia in the city of Wuhan. Seven months on, how dramatically Covid-19 has changed the world! And now up pops David Cameron, claiming that the World Health Organisation doesn’t work and proposing a new body to sound the alarm about pandemics earlier. It’s a good observa-

tion, even if his proposed solution - the new ‘Global Virus Surveillance Organisation’ - is just another name for the same organisation. It wouldn’t work, because it would be dogged by the same institutional failures as the UN, a body so immersed in cultural and moral relativism that it sees nothing amiss with handing a country like Saudi Arabia a key human rights role. For many, the WHO is already in the pocket of China, as would be the proposed GVSO. But didn’t the UK have an early warning in the way that the outbreak began in China

and then travelled to Italy? The fact that the UK took the decision to do nothing until it had already spread throughout the country was why there were so many fatalities compared with most of Europe and the rest of the world. Too slow and completely unprepared for testing, tracking and PPE. Those that haven’t performed better than the UK (especially the US and Brazil) have come off worse since they decided to take minimal action for purely economic reasons. It’s not another global body that’s called for. It’s a hyper-

It’s not rocket science! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I HAVE an Amazon account with £100 credit on it. I don’t use the UK site much as if I need anything it’s cheaper to get it delivered from Amazon.es obviously. So I contacted them, which is no easy thing. I’m going to go off at a tangent here. Why is it so difficult to speak to anyone from any large company? It’s almost impossible these days. You get offered so many different ways to contact them. The one that bugs me most is FAQ. Am I really the only person that wants to know about this problem? Then being asked did this help ... no it didn’t ‘cos you didn’t answer my question. Anyway, I did, after many attempts, get a response to my question which was can I transfer my £100 credit to Amazon.es. After all, I sign in with the same email address and password so they know it’s me. They even email me to tell me I’ve logged on to another Amazon site. The answer was no you can’t, end of. I tried to contact them again to ask why, considering the size of the company and

the things they can do including have driverless cars, but I got no further response. Surely it’s not rocket science to let me use my 100 quid on any Amazon site I’m on. I was very pleased that my daughter, Dr S, came to visit for a couple of weeks. When I collected her from the airport there was no cuddle and we both sat in the car with our masks on and for five or six days she didn’t even give her daddy a kiss. We had a fabulous couple of weeks and when she went home on Saturday, Mrs S made her a packed lunch as we were not sure if there would be food available at the airport or on the plane. In her lunch pack was a metal fork and there was a long discussion on the security implications and how would she eat it if they confiscated the ‘weapon.’ Anyway she boarded and sent us a text that noone at security was interested in her fork, but they did make her take off her sandals and I’m talking about wafer thin almost flip floppy type of things and x-ray them. Nice to see that airport security hasn’t lost its priorities. I could understand if they were crocs. Anybody wearing them should be arrested immediately!

efficient UK gover nment and a WHO that isn’t afraid of upsetting the status quo. But all the best, Dave, in getting the international community to collaborate, on anything. (Incidentally, anyone in mind to head it up, Dave? However, on balance, you’d surely be better off continuing with your memoirs in that shepherd’s hut of yours). Whether it’s the EU, UN or G20, they spend most of the time agreeing to disagree. Then issue a joint press release about the agreed way forward - which usually translates as shelving it until next time.

DAVID CAMERON: Better off continuing with his memoirs.

La Veneno’s story

An Open Book I CELEBRATED Pride by watching an episode of the Spanish series La Veneno. It tells the story of La Veneno, an LGBTQ icon whose unfiltered opinions, charm and wit made her a popular figure on Spanish primetime television in the 90’s. Directed by the esteemed creators Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, it remains faithful to the real story of La Veneno. The details are assiduous. It even includes Paca La Piraña who was La Veneno’s best friend. Younger viewers will be drawn to Valeria, who plays the author, Valeria Vargas. She subsequently went on to write La Veneno’s memoir. In the series, however, she is a university student dealing with her own struggles with her gender identity. For those of you who have seen the series Pose on Netflix, creators of La Veneno have also included trans actresses playing the roles of trans women. La Veneno doesn’t

quite portray the decadent playground of New York in the 1980s however, it showed me another landscape, Almeria in the 1970s. La Veneno’s story goes back to her childhood when she was Joselito. Joselito was a curious child and obsessed with animals. Joselito saw the opportunity to make a Holy Communion a performance by wearing a habit that looked like a dress. Growing up in Adra in Almeria, the small seaside town would prove to be too small for Joselito. Too claustrophobic. The LGBTQ characters in Adra are constantly abused both verbally and physically, reflecting the socio-political backdrop of the time. From a young age these characters are called maricon meaning faggot. A word that when you first hear it, you have no idea what it means. Ironically, this undefined word is what subsequently defines you on a daily basis. My partner and I discussed homophobia after watching the episode. My experience

compared to his has been laconic. He, however, grew up in an agricultural family who had clear notions of what it means to be masculine. His outlet was similar to Joselito’s, finding salvation in the Catholic Church, which sounds paradoxical for a gay man. Like Joselito, my partner was attracted to the aesthetics of the church and its theatricality, but also fully aware of its contradictions. As I finish writing this column, I’m listening to the equality minister, Irene Montero, talking about same sex marriage. Fifteen years have passed since Spain legalised this seminal moment. Watching Joselito’s past reminds us all of the unequivocal progression we have seen in LGBTQ rights. Nevertheless, there are definitely dark clouds in the political world in Spain. The far right and their hateful rhetoric towards the LGBTQ community and, undoubtedly, trans rights are constantly under threat. Shows like La Veneno are providing invaluable visibility.

MASK ATTACK

OUR VIEW Social U-turn

THE health crisis has brought with it many different and magnified social changes. As it began and we all faced a new experience of isolation. Locked in our houses away from the world and any chance of infection. During this time neighbours reached out to each other by congregating on their balconies at night to clap the efforts of the health service, groups were created to deliver food to the homeless or helpless and positive actions sprung from a great fear restoring some people’s faith in mankind. We were all desperate to get out of our confines. What happened? Over the last month, this has deteriorated. Upon our release from captivity, things have descended into worldwide mania. Rioting, murders, economic collapse and a U-turn into negativity. Facebook and Twitter are full of personal attacks and arguments with people who are really not educated enough in how to handle medical, human rights or economic matters. Sure, we can all have an opinion but if we know that we ourselves do not know all the facts, shouldn’t we allow others to have theirs too. The world is turning ugly. People are beginning to retreat back to their houses, why? If they are to leave their houses they are to follow certain restrictions that make them uncomfortable, like wearing a mask, standing in queues two metres apart or not being able to enjoy other people’s company. Maybe they will be caught in a riot, maybe somebody else will not be following health measures making them feel threatened. Is there a happy medium? Should people be allowed to make their own choices? The wearing of face masks is such an all-consuming topic just now but nobody has the power to challenge the government’s decision on the mandatory measures concerning these. WHO is sitting on the fence, even though their official statement shows that these masks can be more dangerous for certain members of the public. The main thing we need to focus on is that we cannot get through this crisis alone. Together we are stronger. Tearing each other apart will not get us any further forward. A time of global weakness is not the time to tackle all the world’s problems at once. Remember, divided we stand, together we fall.

DEAR Euro Weekly, This most unfortunate tale started on Wednesday morning at about 09.15 when I rushed into Ferreteria Lopez on Mojacar beach for some urgent (it always is) plumbing stuff. I was then confronted by a gent who, rightfully, but very gruffly, asked me ‘where is your face mask,’ which I had, in the rush, completely forgotten to wear, although it sits ready to use, on my car’s passenger seat. ‘I forgot’ I replied, which was then met with a stream of verbal abuse, followed by, it beggars belief, physically attacking me with a one-inch connector hose that he grabbed from the nearby display, all the while proclaiming he was ‘English.’ I raised my arm in defence, took two steps back, in trying to defuse the situation. I went for my face mask and finished my shopping, thoroughly shook up. Can we please, for the sake of humanity, refrain

Beyond belief DEAR Euro Weekly, I live with a person (platonic) who is a Cuban transexual, born a man and known as Samanta she had her unemployment benefit stopped as her passport is out of date. Before she could renew, as not many unemployed have €215 to stay as a man or over €400 to change sex lying about, she suffered a serious life-threatening stroke culminating in three months in hospital. She has been home nine days and is wheelchair-bound, needs constant care and is now being refused both benefit and Cruz Roja food parcels as her padrón are out of date. Add to this my incredible story of unemployment and lack of benefits, it is clear to me Spain is ignoring both European law and human rights. I am disgusted beyond belief at the treatment she has had but how can you send someone home with no medicine, no food or money in the house and not knowing if there was even anyone to help with basic needs, never mind a professional carer which she now gets for one hour a day Monday to Friday. Kind regards Clive Henry

Got my vote GOOD morning. I would like to register a vote in favour of Leapy Lee. I do not use Facebook at all but would like you to register that I support Leapy in your newspaper. He speaks the truth which most people cannot, or are afraid to speak. I think that in these troubled times that free speech is being eroded rapidly and people are becoming afraid of telling things like they are. Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy and to gag Leapy would be another blow to press and general public freedom. Regards Kevin Stuttart

Cases Keep Climbing Spain Releases Latest Coronavirus Figures I personally thought when the Covid-19 virus was announced back in March and we were all told it had a 14-day incubation period it seemed the obvious thing to do would have been to make absolutely everyone with no exceptions go into a 21day complete lockdown and have military deliver food parcels utilising high safety standards and keeping streets clear and allowing no travel including flights, this way the virus would have burnt itself out, obviously this would only work if neighbouring countries followed suit too and it wouldn’t have gone on for so many months.

SHARPLES

WE had a bit of a life threatening drama a few weeks ago. I had to don my Superman suit and save a life. It all started with a flycatcher sticky pad. They are a double-sided sticker that you can put on windows or doors and they usually have pictures of bright flowers on them to attract the wee beasties. They can be extremely effective. For those who are constantly attacked by mosquitos, they can be a godsend. I never get bitten but many people do and end up looking like a very itchy dot to dot puzzle. The stickers were strategically placed around the house and one was put on the kitchen door. Flies and mosquitos were being massacred by the lorryload and they were very effective at their job. So effective that the stickers then became very attractive to a gecko that seemed to have taken up residence on the back patio. It

STUCK FAST: The gecko is now back outside and doing what it does best, catching flies. looked like all its Sundays dinners had come at once. One day, whilst in the kitchen, we noticed a gecko sitting on the window. We couldn’t believe that he didn’t run off. ‘How tame,’ we

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING I’VE been so inhumanly busy trying to help ‘save the orphans’ with Kara and our little team over the last few weeks that I’ve hardly had time to think and that’s not a good thing. I’ve even got my shoulder pain back - could it be because I feel like I have the weight of the world once again on my shoulders? So why I ask myself am I back at it? During lockdown I came to realise that I’m far more productive and happier when I take things at a much slower pace, giving myself time to come up with intuitive solutions and creative ideas, without any effort at all. For over three months I’ve been using Zoom to keep the show going and feel blessed that we could maintain that flow of communication and support for our international community. More importantly I didn’t have the hectic and intense ‘recording Tuesdays’ where I can’t even get to enjoy the delights of where we record or really get to know the guests. Contrary to what one would

thought. We all had a look at it until it suddenly dawned on us that it was glued there. Its feet, body and chin were stuck to the sticker. When I say stuck I mean well and truly, unmovably, stuck.

Our sudden realisation was filled with horror. I tried to get it off but it wasn’t going to happen. No matter how I got hold of it, it made things worse by wriggling. It was a very upsetting sight.

I googled ‘How to get a gecko off a sticky trap’ and I couldn’t believe it when there was an answer. ‘Use a little cooking oil,’ it said. ‘Massage it into its feet and body and it will come loose.’ I got out the fry light and got hold of its little feet. One by one, they came free, then its belly, its tail and finally its chin. It sat looking at me, cradled in my hand, drizzled in cooking oil. It waited for about 20 seconds then noticed the deep fat fryer and jumped off my hand onto the floor and scuttled off behind the barbecue. Needless to say, the sticky traps are now a thing of the past and the gecko is outside doing what it does best which is catching flies, which is how the whole drama started in the first place.

What’s it worth? think, the online virtual interviews have been far more personal and engaging. Who’d of thought? Anyway, lately I have been gingerly venturing out and about and have covered some great topics. My trip to Triple A Marbella to chat with Jan Weima about all the updates and investments our town hall is making was well worth the trip. My visits to the Marbella Football Academy were also far more inspiring than I’d anticipated, even coinciding with Vicente del Bosque on my last visit who had popped in to chat with the kids. Many have inspired me these past months and I’ve been more than pleasantly surprised by many more. For me it’s poetry in motion to see how we are all capable of coming together and how we’re all realising that we are certainly better for it. I can only hope

that we keep it up. Now more than ever we need to put our egos aside and concentrate on what’s really important in life: living. If nothing else over the past months we have to have learnt that and more importantly, remember it when we’re lost in the chaos of our daily routines. It’s time to remember our dreams or create new ones, to venture out of our comfort zones and just be who we are surely destined to be. Finding a purpose is obviously key so having time to tune in to one’s true desires requires time to be still and quiet so that we may ‘hear’ the answers and feel what’s right for us; pay heed to our intuition. This is the perfect moment to evaluate not just our own lives but what we contribute to the lives of others. Of course it’s only human nature for our egos and prejudices to rise up, but if we remember to value others as we value ourselves - no more no less - then it will be time well spent and of incalculable value.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve. Because you are in a practical frame of mind, use this to make a check on everyday routines. More could be achieved with forward planning.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although last week was not run at the pace anticipated, now the pace certainly picks up. Finances are still firmly on the agenda, but this time you will be able to deal on a more relaxed basis. A contact made recently gives you the opportunity not only to make some money but also to enlarge your circle of friends. When taking up an educational course, throw yourself wholeheartedly into it to get the best results.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high. There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk who you are willing to mix with. Cultural differences apart, it is quite an eyeopener to find out how others live and think. Never assume that you know everything, there is so much out there to explore.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found. Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on the back for that recent achievement? Socially, this is a lovely week when old friendships are strengthened and new acquaintances prove to be relaxing. It is another mellow week but one in which you seriously consider making a major change.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action. Simply being in the right place and under someone’s gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people. Some of those people prove to be quite fascinating.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Having put in extra effort to bring a zing to this year it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked. Bringing together various friends and family proves fun and really bolsters your mood.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better. Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter. It seems you are much in demand and jobs you thought would be done and dusted just aren't.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days. Sometimes, you feel that being far from perfect spoils your chances. We can all do with improvement. Ask your long-term friends what they like most about you and strengthen that area.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better. In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is perhaps something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time. In this case, however, the basic problem is still there. Instead of worrying, do your best and then get on with something else

BIRTHDAYS

IN this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security and social fabric. Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in New York, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr and Donald.

You say party. I say for sure! GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY IT’S no secret that I like to part y. I n f a c t , I m a d e a c a r e e r out of it. Once upon a time, I was known to attend up to four or five parties per night, stopping by each to air-kiss and be photographed, before moving on to the next, with the help of my ever smiling, and patient chauffeur, Chris. Usually landing in whatever nightclub was the hottest ticket in town, by 2am. I must say, it’s a time that remains pretty much a b l u r, b u t a l o n g t h e w a y I m a d e some great friends. An era that was certainly showered with way too many cocktails. Most times the only way to recall where I’d been and with whom, was to pick up magazines like Tatler, or read the social columns of newspapers. As 2020 unfolded, I made a concious decision to get more sleep and stay away from the busy social scene of Marbella. Little did I know, that the universe had a plan in place to ensure none of us could sip martinis a t s t y l i s h p a r t i e s . We w e r e u n able to even go to a local bar for a glass of wine. As I’ve said b e f o r e , w h i l e M a rc h r o l l e d i n t o April, and on to May, I stared at my diary and saw it filled with cancelled events and special occasions. The only for m of entertainment on offer - Netflix and chill. And I don’t mean the fun kind of chill, I mean stay home and accept it, while binge watching shows that did little to light my fire. Anyhow, the first party I was able to attend post lockdown, was worth the wait. Famed interior designer, and my NBF, Nezha Kanouni, invited a select group of Marbella’s finest, to the opening of her latest store, on the Golden Mile. I’ve always been a lover of interior design, so to meet someone as cool, and terminally chic as Nehza was fantastic. Her taste is impeccable,

PARTY TIME: Catching up with old friends. and while I didn’t really have a chance to check out everything, due to great conversations with old friends and a whole lot of air-kissing, I have an appointment to retur n to select certain pieces for my home. The party gave me the chance to meet some really great new friends from Marbella, as well as catching up with one of my oldest pals, the ever stunning and effervescent Virginia Macari. We’ve been friends for too long to recall, but have been living our lives via WhatsApp for the last few months. The party moved on to the super chic, Mamzel for supper and drinks. If you haven’t already visited this stunning venue nestled in the hills, I suggest you do so pronto. Nezha is responsible for the design of the restaurant, and it is of course, epic. A triumph! It’s the first time in months that I danced and laughed, and possibly drank too much wine. But the slight headache the following morning was worth it. A night that began with a Negroni at the Marbella Club and ended with a swim in my pool at 3am. It certainly feels more like the Marbella I’ve loved for many years.

UNMASKED: Hacks to prevent specs steaming and slipping Specsavers Ópticas shares top tips for wearing glasses with face masks FACE MASKS are now as important an item as our keys and wallet when we’re leaving the house, especially now that new rules have been brought in to say that they must be worn in all public spaces across Andalucia, even when social distancing can be respected. These new rules require increased mask use, but for glasses wearers they can create unexpected challenges. Between March and May, there was a 640 per c ent increase in online searches in Spain for how to tackle the problem of glasses steaming up. That is why Giles Edmonds, Specsavers clinical services director, is sharing his simple advice to keep vision clear while staying safe. Mr Edmonds says: “There are a few difficulties people

face when it comes to wearing a face mask while also wearing glasses. One of the most common complaints is that glasses can get steamed up, making it more difficult to see. Wherever possible, particularly for healthcare staff and other key workers, our advice is to

wear contact lenses. But we appreciate this is not the best option for everyone. “If that isn’t an option, you need to make sure the face mask fits tightly around your nose and cheeks as this reduces the amount of breath escaping and causing condensation on the lenses.”

Specsavers Ópticas’ top tips when wearing glasses and face masks: 1. Stop slipping by wrapping the string of the face mask around the sides of your glasses, rather than your ears - just make sure you’re careful when taking off your glasses as your mask will be attached. 2. If you can (and it’s comfortable), pull your mask further up your nose and place glasses on top. This will help seal the mask around your nose, stopping the warm air from your breath escaping and steaming up your lenses. 3. Try using a piece of surgical tape to hold your mask in place on the bridge of your nose and give your specs additional grip.

IT may have been advice given to you on many occasions and for different reasons, but taking an ice-cold shower can actually offer you surprising health benefits. A burst of cold water in the morning can increase alertness. Even though the thought of this may horrify you, the shock of the cold water forces you to breathe more deeply which, in turn, increases

your overall oxygen intake. It also causes your heart rate to increase which pumps blood more efficiently through your entire body. This improved blood circulation can help to combat some skin problems and boost your overall heart health. It can also lower blood pressure, clear blocked arteries and improves immunity. A study in England showed regular cold show-

The whole experience can give you a natural dose of energy for the day. They have also been found to relieve symptoms of depression by stimulating ‘the blue spot’ on the brain that releases noradrenaline, a chemical which plays a role in alleviating depression. In addition, one of the most natural ways to maintain your appearance is with cold showers. Hot water has the tendency to dry your skin out whilst cold water will tighten your cuticles and pores, to prevent them from getting clogged. Cold water can also seal the pores in the skin and scalp , preventing dirt from getting in.

It's not what it looks like I have anxiety MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED I WANT others to know that there are many ways people like me cope in order to function on a daily basis. “Can you pull over by here please?” I ask the taxi driver. “Are you sure?” he replies, “because I can drop you at the door?” “No, by here is fine.” I tell him. I pay him and exit the car as quickly as possible, looking around to make sure nobody has seen me. This was me on a daily basis last year, getting the taxi driver to drop me at the side of my workplace building, instead of at the front. The journey to work used to be a trigger for me which would create panic attacks. I was basically going to work to pay for the taxi rides as I just couldn’t face waiting for the bus! It wasn’t something I wanted to do, but it was something I had to do in order to help me be able to work while having a mental health issue, and I used to go without other luxuries to be able to finance it I am not ashamed of my

anxiety; in general I’m fairly open about my mental health issues, but only to people who either have a reason to know or who I can trust. Each morning is a struggle. It’s as if anxiety wakes before me and waits, so that when I open my eyes it’s already there punching me in the stomach. I have to psych myself up to get out of bed, psych myself up to get washed and dressed, to make breakfast and pack my lunch. I keep having to stop to wipe tears and practise deep breathing through the nausea some mornings. All the stopping I have to do to psych myself up is so time-consuming. I want others to know that there are many ways people like me cope with our stresses and anxieties in order to function and hold down jobs or simply just try and get through the day. I fully accept that doing these things may seem a bit odd or unusual when no explanation accompanies them, but through doing these things it allows people like myself to live a relatively normal life. None of us owe an explanation about why we do these things as we are entitled to our privacy, but if you see people doing some of the things that you may think are odd they may have a mental illness. We are doing what we have to do in order to be able to function with our illnesses while working and living. What do you do to cope with anxiety?

DIONE LOCKYER W H E N w e w e re b o r n i n t o this world, we didn’t know the meaning of limitation. We didn’t understand the word fear or self-doubt. We never compared ourselves to others as we were learning to walk. It didn’t matter how many times we fell, we would get back up and try again until we succeeded. Some of us would start to walk as early as nine months old, others took much longer but it didn’t matter. We didn’t care, we concentrated on ourselves. Why do so many of us doubt our own abilities? Why do we compare to others? Why do we set limits in our life? Why are some more confident than others? It all boils down to our peers, how we were raised, and who we were surrounded by whilst growing up. Limitation, self-

We Are The Creators Of Our Destiny doubt, procrastination, and a negative mindset is taught. You may have had an amazing upbringing with confident parents, however, an Uncle, Aunt, friend of the family may have been negative, may have installed fear into you unintentionally. As children, our brains are like sponges. They absorb everything around us. If you see fear as a child, there is a higher chance that you will take that fear into adulthood. If, as an adult, you are surrounded by negative people, you too will become negative. We give away our power by our thoughts. We forget who we are and start to exist rather than live our life to the full. The good news is, you can change these habits at any age but it has to start with you!

DON’T COMPARE: Learning to walk - it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Here is an exercise for you all to complete. You will need a pen and paper to answer these

questions: 1. What is your biggest desire? 2. How do you want to feel?

3. Where do you want to be? 4. If you could achieve anything in the world, what would it be? Once you have answered these questions, I’d like you to answer the following next to each one..... WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM ACHIEVING THIS? The answer will always full under one of three categories. Self-doubt, procrastination, or fear. You can overcome each of these categories with ease and learn how to live YOUR life the way YOU want to.

Enjoy the Rebel Violinist IT seems that Spain is producing a number of exceptional yet eccentric violinists at the moment and one of the best is Jorge Guillén or as he is now STRAD who first performed on stage as soloist with the Madrid Orchestra at the age of nine. He followed this with classical training but he expanded his repertoire to take in rock, flamenco and pop and gained the nickname of the Rebel Violinist whilst also playing alongside another great violinist Ara Malikian. With more than a hundred concerts on his band’s first tour, which was well received by critics and public alike, his

group is now touring Mundos Opuestos (also the title of his new CD) an innovative new show for audiences of all types which incorporates fine music and a flamboyant and electrifying performance. Now STRAD will appear at the Limited Edition Marenostrum Festival on Sunday August 2 in Castle Sohail with tickets costing €24 plus booking fee. Another exceptional evening will see hugely popular duo Amaral breaking their nationwide acoustic tour to appear at the Castle on Friday July 31 with tickets for the show which will last several hours costing €40 plus booking fee.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala makes a stunning dish using new season Tuna from the Costa de la Luz.

The world’s best Tuna!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas www.thelittlegeranium.com MAY and June saw the start of the tuna fishing season on the Costa de la Luz where Tarifa, Zahara, Barbate and Conil all lie as these are tuna routes. They have Tuna festivals/ fairs each year and Michele and I visited one of them in Zahara two years ago. It was great eating some of the world’s best and freshest tuna, meeting top chefs and restaurateurs from around the world, wine tasting, sherry tasting and pairing wines to the tuna along with street parades, dancing and live music, it’s a full-on exciting experience even though it

will have been muted this year. However, it can be a bit controversial as many people are angry about the traditional fishing methods used called Almadraba (it is Arabic for place of fighting). Now Michele and I love animals and we go to a lot of trouble to buy naturally farmed meats, organically bred, not pumped with steroids and antibiotics and we do not buy farmed fish. Many of the people, who get upset about tuna fishing that I know of, are the sort that eat cheap chicken packed with chemicals. They also choose to eat intensive farmed beef as it is cheap but it is harmful to you in the long run. Michele and I avoid buying cheap farmed meat or fish which is why I can’t and won’t compete with cheap restaurant pricing,

Bluefin Tuna from this beautiful region of Spain. as great food isn’t cheap! We like to buy the best of everything including seasonal wild fish like the Bluefin Tuna from this beautiful region in Spain. But is it sustainable? Are we overfishing the Tuna? Are these people, right? I spoke with the EU Fisheries department about this to try and clear things up. This is what they told me: “The traditional fishing method called almadraba is one of the oldest record-

ed fishing systems. The almadrabas catch tuna as they swim across the Gibraltar strait, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea when they go to spawn. These traps catch the tuna when they are moving towards the Atlantic Ocean. The basis of this fishing method is that the schools of tuna, upon encountering the nets do not try to go through them, but instead they follow them, enter inside and

continue through, finally trapping themselves inside the final chamber. “The fishing season for the paso almadraba traps begins in the spring and ends at the start of summer, and the season for the ‘retorno’ (the return) almadrabas begins at the end of summer and ends in the autumn. “The long story of the almadraba traps has given us a series of data that is of important scientific value. “The almadraba technique used for Atlantic Bluefin Tuna fishing is respectful to the environment and to resources, due to several characteristic factors of this fishing system including: seasonality, location, structure, low energy consumption because of its working system, lack of waste generation, there is a limited stay time for the tuna within the structure of the almadrab.

“It creates a very reduced ‘bycatch,’ because the structure uses large mesh nets, and so a high percentage of the caught tuna are adult specimens that have already bred and have spawned on several occasions, and the size and flexibility of the nets mean that there is no damage to the cetacean or dolphin populations and it doesn’t have any influence on the local hydrological dynamics.” So, faced with this information from The European Fishing Policy department I am happy to buy it and happy that you enjoy this premium product which is on my menu right now! Our tasting menus are becoming more and more popular and most nights this tuna dish is highlighted as one of the best tasting courses by our clients. So, this week I am sharing the recipe with you.

Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.

Tarifa Tuna Tataki (Serves four) Ingredients for four • Approx 1 kilo of sashimi grade blue fin tuna trimmed with fat removed and cut into a neat rectangular shape approx 4cm diameter. • 2 tbsp neutral flavour or light olive oil • For the Tuna spices • 2 tablespoons of mixed spice (or Chinese 5 spice) • 2 teaspoons of ground cumin • 2 teaspoons of fennel seeds • 2 teaspoons of Maldon salt •2 teaspoons of ground black pepper • 2 teaspoons of turmeric • 2 teaspoons of white sesame seeds • 2 teaspoons of ground ginger •1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley • Tataki Sauce • 1 large spring onion finely shredded •2 inch piece of fresh root ginger grated (about 1 tbsp) •1 large Jalapeno mild green chilli

Delicious tuna from Tarifa. finely shredded • 2 tsp sesame oil • 2 tbsp of good soy sauce

• Juice of 1 orange • Juice of 1 lemon • Juice of 1 lime • ½ tbsp honey Garnish • 1 handful of pre-cooked Negro pasta (black spaghetti) • 1 handful of pre-blanched and re freshed fresh samphire • 50g of unsalted butter • 1 tablespoon olive oil Method Pre-cut the tuna with a sharp knife into long 3-4cm diameter rectangular pieces. Pre-heat a pan with no oil at this stage. When the pan is red hot add a tablespoon of oil and sear the tuna but do not move it. After 15 seconds move it and sear again for 15 seconds. Keep moving it every 15 seconds until it is totally seared then remove and drizzle the tuna with a little oil.

Follow Steven on Instagram ….@saunderschef The Little Geranium, Winner of Best International Restaurant Spain…2020 www.thelittlegeranium.com For bookings: Michele@thelittlegeranium.com

Mix all the tuna spices together and toss the tuna pieces through the spices so that they stick to the tuna. Wrap the spiced tuna pieces in cling film and refrigerate for minimum two hours. For the sauce Mix the first three ingredients (onion, ginger, chilli) together and put the remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan and warm through. Taste and if too salty add a little white wine or sake. Remove sauce from heat and add the onion, ginger and chilli and allow to cool. To construct Gently fry the pasta and the samphire in the butter and the oil in a small pan for one minute and drain on tissue paper. Slice the tuna pieces thinly (½cm thick). Put a mix of the pasta and samphire on each plate and neatly top it with at least four slices of the tuna on each. Pour the sauce around and serve. I like to garnish it with a little balsamic vinegar caviar which is very tasty!

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. 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. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Ken-

nels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm.

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.sepe online.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. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

Seagulls stay up GRAHAM POTTER admits the pressure of keeping Brighton in the Premier League weighed heavily on his mind during the lockdown and praised a collective effort for pushing the club to safety. Neal Maupay could have been awarded a first-half penalty when he caught Matt Ritchie in possession and was floored by the Scot, but the Brighton striker didn’t appeal and defender Adam Webster eventually had the hosts' best effort at goal with a long-range drive 15 mins from time. Dwight Gayle’s header onto the roof of the net and Miguel Almiron’s flick at goal were Newcastle’s best moments either side of the break, with the goal-

COLLECTIVE EFFORT: Graham Potter’s side needed just one point to be safe from relegation. less draw keeping them 13th, while Brighton moves up to 15th, seven clear of the drop zone. Dwight Gayle came close for the visitors, but glanced a header on to the roof of the net in firsthalf stoppage time. Adam Webster’s longrange strike worked

Dubravka and Trossard shot over, before Magpies’ substitute Andy Carroll headed a glorious chance wide from inside the sixyard area late on. The draw lifts Brighton on to 38 points, seven more than 18th-placed Aston Villa, who have two matches to play.

Worth the wait COMPACT STADIUM: Pepe Luis Bobadilla Stadium in Nerja.

MOST of the walking football teams are now managing to have sessions at private locations except Nerja and Viñuela. Neither of whom have private facilities nearby.

With local authorities now looking at September before allowing any type of football, this will pose big problems for these two clubs. They will arrange home and away friendlies

against each other when they do get permission, but it will be little compared to their opponents when it comes to League games. Big Deal. The prospective sponsorship deal is now down to the final details being applied to the paperwork and an announcement is expected within the next seven to 10 days. We are assured that while there have been regrettable delays it WILL be worth the wait. Watch this space. One ‘deal’ that has been completed is that a stadium has been secured for the Coronavirus postponed Euro Weekly Walking Football League Cup Final. This was due to take place last April but the virus caused all football to be cancelled. However, on Wednesday, July 15, League Director Ronnie Waugh and Nerja Nomads’ manager Steve Lynton met with Nerja Town Hall Sports council-

lors Daniel Rivas and Javier Losada and after a very useful meeting it was agreed the final would be played at the Pepe Luis Bobadilla Stadium in Nerja on Saturday, September 19, 2020. (Subject to the state of the coronavirus at that time). The final between Aston Viñuela WFC and Walking Football Spain ‘A’ will be preceded by Nerja’s first ever home league match against Benahavis. The two ‘new’ boys in the league and the two teams furthest apart... 137kms. More details to follow. Only one game last week and that was the return between The Walking Dead and Smiles. The ‘Dead’ followed up their victory over Smiles the week previous with a 2-1 win to complete the double. Watch here next week for the big League Sponsorship announcement.
