With summer now in full swing, beaches are filling with visitors while new residents continue to move to Manilva and establish businesses. At the same time, Mayor Mario Jiménez remains focused on improving the quality of life and security for everyone who lives in or visits the municipality.
Although only a few months into his term as Mayor, Mario Jiménez has already introduced noticeable improvements compared with previous years. Higher-quality tourism is becoming increasingly evident, with visitors from many countries, particularly the UK, continuing to play a significant role. This is not intended as political promotion, but simply recognition of the visible efforts being made to enhance the area
Not everyone agrees with every decision. Some residents have criticised restrictions on loud live music and late-night noise in Puerto de la Duquesa. However, many restaurant owners, diners and nearby residents have welcomed the measures. Excessive noise and rowdy behaviour had made it difficult for restaurants to provide a pleasant dining experience, while local residents were regularly disturbed until the early hours. These changes are expected to improve both the atmosphere and the quality of visitors to the port Another common concern is the deteriorating condition of pavements throughout Sabinillas. Cracked and broken tiles are largely the result of unsuitable materials used in previous developments. Repairing them is a major undertaking that must be completed gradually to minimise disruption and avoid harming local businesses
The Mayor continues to invite residents to submit suggestions for improving wellbeing in the municipality by emailing editor@webexpressguide.com. We will also continue highlighting the actions and initiatives introduced by Mario Jiménez since our last edition.
The first shipment of humanitarian aid organized by the Venezuelan community of Manilva with the collaboration of the City Council has already departed for Venezuela, in response to the devastating earthquakes recorded last week
The mayor of Manilva, Mario Jiménez, and the councillor for Social Welfare, Laura Salazar, have highlighted the work carried out in the municipal warehouse, where this first solidarity shipment has been prepared. The shipment consists of medical care products, first aid supplies, medicines, diapers and personal hygiene items.
Manilvaexpandsitsparkingareasforthesummer
The Infrastructure and Works and Vehicle Fleet Departments, headed by Marcos Ruiz and Laura Salazar, are finalizing the work to adapt new parking areas in different parts of the municipality with the aim of improving mobility during the summer season. The spaces are located next to Super Asia, Lidl and Pueblo Mexicano, which will facilitate parking for both residents and visitors. In addition, open areas near the beaches have been set up, in areas close to the beach bars El Olivar, Garito de Juan and Meollo Beach, as well as in Punta Chullera, among other strategic points.
Municipalcleaningworkerscontinuetheirdailywork
The Manilva Town Council, through the Cleaning Department, headed by Gema Zotano, continues with the responsibility of redoubling efforts and keeping the municipality clean to offer the best image of our town. Furthermore, in addition to thanking citizens for their contribution to cleanliness, establishments are reminded of their obligation to maintain their terraces and sidewalks.
HighTemperaturePreventionCampaign
The Councillor for Health, Juan Carlos Morejón, has announced the collaboration agreement reached with the Red Cross to launch a Prevention Campaign in response to the high temperatures. This initiative will take place in the morning on the Sabinillas seafront until Sunday, August 30, with a presence on alternate Sundays. Volunteers will offer information and advice on how to cope with the heat, as well as distribute water, sunscreen, and fans to residents and visitors. The aim is to raise awareness about the importance of taking preventative measures during the summer months and to protect the health of the population from high temperatures.

Into a large bowl, juice 1 lemon, then whisk together with the tahini, honey and olive oil until smooth. Transfer half the mixture to a small serving bowl. Season the chicken all over with salt and add to the large bowl; toss to coat
To grill the chicken, set a grill to medium-high (If you’d like to cook the chicken in the oven or a skillet, see Tip.) Generously oil the grates, then add the chicken and cook until the bottom is charred, 5 to 8 minutes. Use tongs to turn over the thighs and continue to grill until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the chicken pieces; turn thighs over again if necessary Move thighs to a cooler part of the grill if browning too quickly.
Remove chicken from grill and let cool 1 to 2 minutes. Taste the reserved sauce and season as needed with salt, and loosen the consistency by adding half the lemon juice or a tablespoon of water Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the chicken, drizzle with the sauce or serve on the side, and, if using, garnish with the parsley and sumac (optional), for garnishing.
Recent figures show that foreign buyers accounted for 18.8% of all property purchases in Spain during 2025, with more than 52,700 transactions. The shift has prompted questions about whether Brexit is finally taking its toll The reality, however, is more nuanced
British Demand Remains Strong. British buyers have not disappeared from Spain's property market Estate agents continue to report consistent interest from UK purchasers looking for holiday homes, retirement properties and permanent relocations
The key change is that demand from other European countries has grown more rapidly Rather than signalling a decline in British interest, the latest figures reflect a broader international market where several nationalities are increasing their activity.
Brexit Has Changed the Buying Process
Brexit has altered how Britons buy property in Spain rather than whether they buy at all. As non-EU citizens, UK buyers must now comply with the 90-day rule for non-resident stays and face additional administrative requirements when purchasing or relocating. These changes have encouraged many buyers to spend more time researching before committing.
Estate agents say British clients are increasingly renting before buying, visiting several times before choosing a location, or waiting until retirement plans are confirmed. The purchasing journey has become longer and more carefully planned, but demand remains steady.
Dutch Buyers on the Rise. One of the fastest-growing groups of overseas buyers comes from the Netherlands. Several factors are driving this trend. High property prices at home have encouraged many Dutch households to look abroad for better value and more space. The country's Box 3 wealth tax has also prompted some buyers to reassess long-term financial planning.
Remote working has added further momentum, allowing professionals greater flexibility over where they live. Combined with Spain's warm climate, outdoor lifestyle and lower cost of living in many areas, the country has become an increasingly attractive option for both second-home buyers and those planning a gradual relocation.
Good air connections and established Dutch communities along Spain's coastline have also made the move feel more accessible.
A More Diverse Market
Property professionals across the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca say today's market is far more diverse than it was a decade ago. Instead of one nationality dominating international demand, buyers now arrive from across northern and western Europe, each motivated by different economic and lifestyle factors. Agents also report that overseas buyers are better prepared than ever. Many complete extensive online research before travelling, narrowing their search to specific towns and neighbourhoods. This preparation often results in quicker decisions once they begin viewing properties.
Looking Ahead
Spain remains one of Europe's most desirable destinations for overseas property buyers. British purchasers continue to play a major role, even if they are no longer the fastestgrowing group.
Rather than replacing one nationality with another, the market is becoming more balanced. Buyers from across Europe are responding to rising housing costs, changing tax policies, flexible working and a desire for a better quality of life.
As these trends continue, Spain's property market looks set to remain firmly international, with a wider mix of buyers helping shape its future.

WHYGERMAN KITCHENS CONTINUETOSET
THESTANDARDFOR MODERNLIVING
The kitchen has long evolved beyond its traditional role as a place to prepare meals. Today, it is the true heart of the home a space where family and friends gather, where creativity flourishes, and where everyday moments become lasting memories Choosing the right kitchen is therefore an investment in both lifestyle and property value, and when it comes to quality, German kitchens remain the benchmark worldwide.

Sun-soaked beaches, city escapes and longawaited holidays are all part of the summer travel season. Yet amid the excitement of booking flights and packing suitcases, one essential purchase is often overlooked: travel insurance. For many, it feels like an unnecessary expense until an unexpected medical emergency transforms a dream holiday into a financial nightmare
Recent figures from Spain's insurance association, UNESPA, reveal just how costly overseas treatment can become The organisation has recorded insurance pay-outs exceeding €113,000 for medical care in Malawi and more than €21,000 for treatment in the United States, highlighting the enormous costs that can arise when illness or injury strikes abroad
For British travellers, healthcare arrangements vary considerably depending on the destination In Spain and Portugal, holders of a valid Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) can access medically necessary treatment through the public healthcare system under the same conditions as local residents. However, the card has significant limitations. It does not cover private healthcare, mountain rescue, medical repatriation or many additional expenses that can accompany a serious illness.

The Marbella-to-Sotogrande corridor continues to attract those seeking a premium lifestyle, while Manilva has positioned itself as the destination offering exceptional value without compromising on location or quality of life.
Perhaps the most significant change is how the region now functions. The old idea of separate expatriate communities is rapidly disappearing Increasingly, the Costa del Sol operates as one connected international marketplace where residents move freely between towns, socialise across cultures and expect businesses to serve the entire coastline rather than a single postcode.
The business community has adapted accordingly Estate agencies that once concentrated on individual towns now market properties across the whole Costa while expanding into property management, holiday rentals and investment services. Restaurants, retailers and professional services are following the same path, recognising that today's clientele is international, mobile and increasingly multicultural
English has naturally become the common language that connects this diverse community, making it easier than ever for newcomers to settle and for businesses to reach customers from every corner of Europe and beyond.
The Costa del Sol has evolved into something far greater than a string of fashionable coastal towns It is a vibrant international community where lifestyle, opportunity and investment go hand in hand. From the luxury of Marbella to the elegance of Sotogrande, with Manilva confidently emerging as one of its brightest stars, the region is no longer defined by municipal boundaries or nationalities.
It is one destination, one market and, for an ever-growing international audience, one exceptional way of life.
I often see mothers giving their mobile phone to their toddlers to keep them quiet. Is that a good idea?
Smartphones, tablets and televisions have become part of everyday family life, but growing evidence suggests that when children use screens may be just as important as how long they spend in front of them. A major long-term study has identified two critical stages in childhood when excessive screen exposure appears to have the greatest impact on brain development and later learning.
Researchers from France's Inserm and the National University of Singapore followed 502 children from infancy to the age of eight, tracking their screen use over several years Their academic performance was later assessed at age nine, while working memory a vital skill for learning was tested at ten and a half.
The findings challenge the assumption that the earlier children are exposed to screens, the greater the damage Instead, the study highlights two particularly sensitive periods: around a child's first birthday and again at about six years old, when formal education begins
The first year of life proved to be the most vulnerable. At this stage, the brain is developing at an extraordinary pace, building millions of neural connections through interaction with parents and caregivers. Eye contact, conversation, facial expressions and shared play provide the stimulation babies need to develop healthy cognitive skills. Screens, however colourful or entertaining, cannot respond to a baby's cues in the same way a human can
Children with higher levels of screen exposure at 12 months consistently performed less well years later in both academic tests and assessments of working memory. According to the researchers, this age showed the strongest association between screen use and later cognitive performance
Surprisingly, the pattern changed during the toddler years. Screen exposure at ages two and three showed no significant link with later academic achievement or working memory That does not mean screens are harmless, the researchers stress. Language development, social skills and emotional wellbeing may still be affected, but these areas were not the focus of the study.
A second period of concern emerged at around six years of age As children begin school, learning relies increasingly on concentration, self-control and working memory. Researchers suggest that children accustomed to the fast-moving, constantly changing stimulation of digital media may find it harder to adapt to the slower pace and sustained attention required in the classroom
Working memory is often described as the brain's mental workspace. It allows children to follow instructions, solve mathematical problems, understand what they read and manage complex tasks Because it underpins learning across every subject, weaker working memory can have lasting effects on educational success.
The researchers acknowledge that the study has limitations It involved children from Singapore, whose educational and cultural experiences may differ from those elsewhere, while screen use was reported by parents rather than measured directly. Even so, the message is clear: for parents trying to manage children's screen habits, the first year of life and the start of school may be the moments that matter most
