Beach Vendors Go Pro by SPENCER WILLIAMS

Anyone visiting the beach in the summer will be well aware of the so called ‘beach vendors’ who go around selling drinks from their cool bags to keep bathers refreshed. Already we have seen a rise in the number of vendors who are even now offering ‘cocktails’ which are normally from a can or bottle and... Story Continues Page 5...

Restaurants Offering Delivery To Beaches

By Spencer WIlliams

From Front Page... tipped into plastic cups with a straw, just a small upgrade to get a little extra money from unsuspecting tourists who may see this as the norm and a nice convenient service. The use of these people is strongly discouraged as they are not regulated and will not be following any food, drink and hygiene practices.

Beach Deliveries

These businesses have a significantly higher rent than others that may reside in more central parts of town, as well as that their business is more seasonal than others in different parts of towns as they try to take as much money in the high season to carry them the rest of the year, and with the rise of illegal beach vendors and other complaints about licenses and taxes they are feeling the pinch. The beach front and prime spot establishments also argue that the increase in beach food and drink will be an issue with the safety and hygiene of the coast.

It seems that local businesses are now taking the idea of beach vending and brought it to a professional level. Burgers, pizzas, chicken, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, kebabs and even a paella, fast food is now coming to the beach. Reports in Spanish news say that businesses are sending out orders to people at various beaches after offering the service including the Postiguet beach in Alicante. Establishments in the centre of town are advertising on leaflets and flyers that the service is available to any orders over 12 euros as well as a 2 euro delivery fee. Although this is a legitimate way of obtaining food, as the establishments would be passing the protocols set out for take away and delivery services it has already come under fire for businesses located on or close to the beach.

Experts Predict Rise In Jellyfish By Spencer WIlliams

Beachgoers in Spain have been warned to look out for jellyfish this year as the numbers of the stinging sea creatures are on the rise along the country’s Mediterranean coast. During the summer months it is common in places that jellyfish will wash up on beaches in their hundreds. Up to 150,000 people are treated for jellyfish stings on Mediterranean beaches each year, and that number is on the rise. Along some stretches of Spain’s coast, scientists have spotted huge, mile-long blooms of jellyfish, sometimes

with 30 to 40 animals per square yard of sea. Scientists blame overfishing and possibly climate change. Increased temperatures and lack of rain are also important factors that can increase the numbers of jellyfish on beaches. Most jellyfish in the Mediterranean do not sting, and stings aren’t life threatening… but they can hurt tourism. There are a number of alien species coming from the Red Sea into the Mediterranean, so tropical and subtropical species that have entered the Mediterranean Sea

from the Suez Canal. ”That includes the Rhopilema nomadica, a stinging jellyfish that’s been sighted in the eastern Mediterranean near the warm-water gateway of Egypt’s Suez Canal. The European Union considers it one of the most invasive marine species in the region. Jellyfish sting when you come into contact with their tentacles. However not all kinds of the creature sting, but if there are jellyfish on the beach then it is better to swim in the pool that day and wait a day or two before going back to the beach.

Galaxy Radio New Website Launched

Galaxy Radio has launched their new website this week, allowing listeners to get closer to the action. The site will be packed with lots of great features such as music videos, news, radio player and an interactive music request system. Listeners will be able to look through and search the complete database of tracks from the studio and request it along with their name and message. Production Manager Marco Baiardo Jr. said “The song request feature is my favourite thing we have

implemented, our new website talks directly to the live studio, allowing listeners to search through and pick a song directly from our music database, just like a jukebox, We hope listeners will have fun using this great feature as we love getting requests and hearing from everyone”. More great features are to be added in the coming weeks along with the radio station adding a new frequency for the South Costa Blanca, more presenters, shows and more great music. You can visit the website at www.galaxyradio.es or listen on 96.2FM Campeallo-Altea or 106.8FM Calpe-Javea.

Obama To Visit Spain For The First Time

By Spencer WIlliams

President Barack Obama will pay his first presidential visit to Spain next month to meet Spanish leaders to discuss security and the economy. In a statement released by the White House, the US President will be travelling to Poland for a NATO summit starting on July 7th.

President Obama will also hold bilateral talks with Polish President Andrzej Duda to “reaffirm the American commitment to Poland’s security, and exchange views on the broader security environment in Europe,” it said. “The visit to Spain, an important

NATO Ally, will highlight robust security cooperation, a strong political and economic relationship, and longstanding people-to-people ties,” the statement continued. “The President’s agenda in

Spain will include meetings with His Majesty the King of Spain and the Acting President of Spain.” This will be his only visit to Spain since he in 2009 although his wife and daughter have been before on holiday.

aged 55-80, already overweight and at risk of heart disease. Even those limiting fat had much more of it in their diet than the 30 percent recommended by the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO), they said. However other researchers said to remain cautious as everybody is different. “The differences in fat and carbohydrate intake between different groups was rather modest and therefore the results don’t support either a low-fat or lowcarbohydrate approach to weight loss,” University of Reading nutritional scientist Gunter Kuhnle told the Science Media Centre in London. Added University of Oxford diet expert Susan Jebb: “It is impossible from this study to draw any conclusion about the impact of low fat diets on body weight.”

Spanish Says Fat Is Not Bad For You

In a recent study aiming to help reduce concerns of heart disease, diabtes and heart attacks, researches found that increasing the intake of ‘Healthy Fats’ can help reduce the risks of these ilnesses. Nearly 7,500 overweight and obese people enrolled for a trial in Spain, those who boosted “healthy” fat intake did not gain more weight than those who tried cutting back on all fat, researchers found. “Our trial demonstrates that a high-fat, high vegetable diet such as (a) Mediterranean diet does not promote weight gain,” study author Ramón Estruch of the University of Barcelona told AFP. Commentators cautioned against reading too much into the trial, which targeted a very distinct group of people: Caucasians

one thing in common, their need to practice their English in a real English environment. the camp Director here in Javea for over 7 years, explained that during the day the students are taught at the Chit Chat facilities in Javea, and after school hours and evenings are spent with their British host families. We took the opportunity to ask a couple of the kids at the school what was their favourite part of their program. 11 year old Juan, pictured, was on his 2nd summer, and said he loved the games and football most of all, as well as making new friends. Emma, slightly older, and from Segovia, was on her 3rd week at the camp said she had made great friends and especially loved the trips into Javea Port. If you are a British family living in Benitachell, Denia, Gata, Javea, Moraira or Pedreguer then please note that more Host Families are always needed as demand continues to grow, many Spanish parents regard their children learning the English language as one of the highest priorities of their education, and despite the continuing economic recession more and more children want to attend the Chit Chat program. The students are not just taught all day in English at the Chit Chat facilities, they are also ‘immersed’ in everything English by staying with a British host family. This way they also learn some of our customs, experience British cooking, and see how British people live. The students leave feeling far more confident and speaking much better English than when they arrived and

everybody has great fun during their stay. You can request to have 2, 3 or 4 children, and you can also request the sex and age groups ranging from 8 to 15. The courses are for two, three or five weeks’ duration. The children are at home with you overnight, and go off to the Chit Chat school by bus for the day, then return (again by bus) about 5pmish and are with you for the evening. Apart from having the family evening meal together, this is when the host family comes into its own and the time can be used to really get to know the students and encourage them to use their English and to participate in British family life. It is very rewarding to see the kids improve their confidence an ability from their stay with host families. No Spanish speaking needed! On Saturday the children usually go on organised trips to Benidorm or other areas, although some prefer to stay at home with their Host Family. There is absolutely no need for the Host Family to speak Spanish themselves. Indeed, the very idea is to speak English with the children the whole time so that for their length of their stay they are exposed fully to the English language. A Rewarding Experience! Finally, it should also be mentioned that financially it also pays well to be a Host Family; and if you are in need of earning extra funds throughout the summer this could be a very good opportunity for you.

Spanish Towns Sets Up Giant Inflatable To Deter Dog Owners

By Spencer WIlliams

The blow up sculpture, which is three metres wide and over two metres high is designed to serve as a reminder to petowners to clean up after their pooches. Authorities in the town of 22,000 residents in the foothills of the Sierra Norte just 25 km northwest of the capital claim that council services have to rid the streets of up to half a ton of faeces left by irresponsible dog owners each day.

“Torrelodones has around 6,000 dogs and let’s say they do an average of three dumps a day, that is around 15,000 separate poos producing some 500kg of excrement a day. Many owners just don’t pick up,” Ángel Guirao, spokesman for the town council explained. “That is more or less what this inflatable represents, the amount of poo left on the streets across the town each day. We are asking dog owners, in a fun non-aggressive way, to realize the importance of clearing up after their pets.”

Montys Tandoori Albir

There is nothing better in my mind than a night out at the local curry house, and a little treat came my way this last weekend when I was invited to the newly opened Montys Tandoori in Albir situated directly opposite the Albir Gardens so a perfect place for those holiday makers as well as the thousands of British residents in the area. I am always intrigued when a new Indian restaurant opens its doors because there have been many failures in this competitive market place but for certain I can say that a visit to Montys will not disappoint. Being a curry-eating guru I know a good Ruby from what an average or bad one. Well I’m absolutely over the moon that the dining experience here was magnificent. I had already

witnessed some of the starters on offer when a nearby table was served with Pakoras and Onion Bhajis for me I needed to go straight in for the main course as I always order too much anyway. For me a firm favourite and a dish to compare easily with the quality of others on the basis that It is one of the most common curries on the menu and that is the famous “Chicken Madras” a hot curry with a sauce, spicy but not blowing your head off, my favourite accompaniment of this dish is a tarka dal and Aloo Gobi. My only criticism of this meal was I was too full to enjoy any more as it was so tasty and absolutely so enjoyable I was just unfortunately so full up I could not finish it all. The other main dish that was served was also one of the most favourite British tastes, yes

as you may have guessed: Chicken Tikka Masala, a medium to mild curry with a thick red sauce. The two main dishes were served with a fantastic choice of plain white rice and a pilau rice together with a Garlic Nann, a style of eating that I absolutely love. Spicy sauce with the combination of a bread to soak up the heat of the spice and the rice to mix in. The staff at Montys are keen to please and are so friendly but like most restaurant experiences it’s all about the food because you can have the best waiters in the world but without the quality of the food it means little. I can say without doubt that when you try this fabulous Indian cuisine you will agree that this now becomes one of your favourite places to dine! Call for reservations at Montys 865694796 or find them directly opposite the Albir Gardens hotel in Albir.

Swimming Pool Dangers The heat is on and what better way to cool off than to head for the swimming pool? However, sadly every summer brings swimming pool tragedies, often involving young children. Children ages 1 to 4 have the highest drowning rates, most drownings occurring in home swimming pools. The risk of drowning is significantly reduced by the ability to swim. All children should be taught to swim â&#x20AC;&#x201C; apart from being lots of fun it is a life saving skill. However, even the best swimmers can drown. When anywhere near a swimming pool it is absolutely imperative that young children be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. People are often of the impression that they can lie by the pool, G & T in one hand, a good book in the other hand and keep one eye on the children. Not so! Many drownings are not accompanied by noise and panic which would grab your attention, but occur quickly and quietly. From the age of about five, you can start

to explain dangers to children, but you still have to be vigilant with supervision. Among adolescents and adults, alcohol use is involved in up to 70% of deaths associated with water recreation. Alcohol influences balance,coordination, and judgment, and its effects are heightened by sun exposure and heat. Inflatable lilos and toys often contribute to swimming pool accidents making swimmers difficult to see. Accidents are more likely when there are numerous children in a pool as often this means they will be running, jumping in etc. Also, a small child in difficulty may go unnoticed. It is often a good idea to evaluate your own skills and consider enrolling in a resuscitation course should you unfortunately ever be faced with a drowning related emergency. Also, all people (including holiday makers) should have an emergency telephone number at hand. Remember, whilst water is great fun, any one of us can drown. It only takes two minutes to be submerged face down in 9 inches of water for drowning to occur.

How To Stop Your Dog Digging Dogs have a natural inclination to dig holes. It is instinctive behavior, but can be extremely destructive and inappropriate for dogs that spend a great deal of time in yards. A digging dog can ruin a great landscaping job, creating both great annoyance and expense for his owner. If your dog is a problem digger, there are three effective means by which to combat this frustrating behavior. These three guidelines, used in concert, will often eliminate digging behavior in dogs.

Address Your Dogs Comfort First, it is important to realize one of the most common motivations for digging. Dogs often dig holes as a means of personal climate control. On hot days a dog may dig himself a cooling well. His newly dug hole will be a place for him to rest on a surface that is cooler than the rest of the ground. If your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digging habits seem to be related to heat, it is easy to solve the problem simply by addressing his needs. By providing a cool, shaded location in the yard, your dog may no longer feel a need to dig. Many have found that the use of a kiddy pool or other larger tub containing some water may also be of use in this endeavor. By making the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surroundings cooler, you can easily eliminate his need to remove chunks of the yard to relax. Likewise, dogs will sometimes dig to create a warm space during cold weather. By digging a small pit in which they can rest, the dog creates a space removed from brisk winds. Again, it is relatively easy to address the situation. Providing a warm space, such as a well-insulated doghouse can reduce

the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need to dig holes throughout your lawn. By tending to their comfort, one can reduce a prime motivator of digging behavior. Keeping a pet adequately cooled during the summer and sufficiently warm in the winter is one of the most simple, yet effective, means of eliminating digging.

Exercise Your Dog Adequately Dogs will also dig when they are inadequately exercised or are overly confined. A dog with excess energy to burn may turn to digging as a means of release. A dog who feels confined in his yard and yearns to run free will be likewise attracted to the prospect of digging those annoying holes. This cause for digging can be addressed simply by making sure your dog is adequately exercised. Regular walks, play opportunities and other exercise outlets will leave your dog better rested and less inclined to dig. The value of exercising a dog is immeasurable. It produces a happier, calmer dog who is more receptive to training and who is likely to be considerably more healthy than his under-exercised brethren. Thus, exercise should be pursued in all cases with all dogs. However, it brings with it the additional advantage of decreasing the level of interest the dog will show in digging.

Keep Your Dog Entertained Digging can also be symptomatic of boredom. A dog with little to do may find the instinctive behavior of digging holes to be a great way to occupy his time. The bored dog is more likely to seek solace in the instinctive act of digging holes than is the appropriately engaged pet. As such, one can combat digging simply by making sure the dog has sufficient alternative sources of entertainment. As previously mentioned, regular exercise and activity offers hope in reducing digging behavior. Additionally, the presence of attractive and entertaining toys can provide a dog with other ways to spend his time and can reduce the likelihood that he will dig holes. Dogs who are simply left alone in a yard with little else to do are, not surprisingly, apt to invent their own diversions. As digging is an instinctive activity, it is often latched upon as something to do for an otherwise bored dog. By providing more attractive play activities, one can remove this frequent cause of destructive digging behavior. There are certainly other reasons why dogs dig and there are certainly problem dogs whose digging behavior will not immediately cease simply by following the three rules covered here. However, most dogs will curtail their destructive digging if their climate is appropriately managed, they are adequately exercised and they are provided with alternative diversions. Though instinctive, digging is not necessarily inevitable. By tending to needs of the dog, one can reduce instances of inappropriate digging.

Carcaixent - Craft fair with a nostalgic touch 100 years ago Carcaixent, a small town in the province of Valencia, was allowed to call itself a City. A hundredth birthday is not all that special, compared to all the other villages and towns in the region, but it is still occasion for a

feast. They celebrate this 100th birthday with a Feria Modernista, going back in the time to the beginning of last century, to what is known in Spain as Modernista - a sort of Art Nouveaux and Jugendstil mixed with Art Deco. Rather fun in fact, and just a little different from those endless Medieval Markets. Especially because Amata, the regional craft association, will be running it. So on 10, 11 and 12 June some thirty craft stalls will be set up, with the people on the stall dressed up in the clothes they would have worn 100 years ago. Not the toffs, not the upper crust or the top 100, but ordinary men and women of that period trying to earn a crust. Stalls with the stuff they made themselves - nothing from abroad, nothing from the factory, just really lovingly made craft work, made by hand using natural materials. Next to some of the stalls will be a table where the stall owner will be busily at work making the stuff he

or she sells - you can watch them at work, ask questions or perhaps get them to personalize one of the pieces. Remember, this is a real craft fair, run by a real craft association. Pottery (or ceramics, if you prefer the term), carved wood, colourful leather shoes and sandals for kids and adults, bread straight from the oven at the back of the stall (and too hot to hold), exclsuive children’s clothing, soft toys and original jewelry in ceramics, macramé, wrought iron and silver. The smaller children can have a go at the merry-go-round or play traditional table games like nine men’s morris and shove ha’ penny. Gourmets can have a look (and taste!!) at the Muestra Gastronómica organised by the Town Hall, just nex to the Craft Fair. The further programme includes exhibitions, concerts, street theatre and guided visits to outstanding Modernista-buildings. The Fair will be set up in the Calle

Sant Françesc d’Asis, about 100 yards from the Town Hall (Ajuntament). It opens officially at 6 pm on Friday the 10th, on the Saturday and Sunday it is open from 11 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to 10 pm. Carcaixent is about 4 km from Alzira, 50 km from Valencia and 20 from Tavernes de Valldigna. For more information about the Fair, Call Elvira 639 979 678 (Elvira speaks English) and if you want to look at pretty pictures of other events organised by Amata, visit www.amata.es.

Carpets For Every Room In The House

A rug can be a statement piece in a living room , or source of softness and warmth. However they should also be practical where you need to use them. Many years ago more than likely you would of bought a carpet in a specialised rugs shop and odds are it would have been made from wool. Wool is one of the best fibers for making rugs

and carpets. It makes high durability flooring ,with some other great advantages. Such as a naturaly flame retardant ,it assits in stabilizing humidity in a room. It has great insulation properties not only for warmth but also noise.it s a natural product and can be more ecofriendly than synthetic fibers.alos wool carpets are naturally dirt resistant. Wool rugs can be great for living rooms or hallways ,but they do have their disadvantages if you wanted to use them in bathrooms,kitchens, bedrooms and even living rooms. Price can be a large factor when purchasing a carpet and wool rugs are more expensive than rugs made from man made fibers. Plus synthetic rugs have advanced greatly , now they come with stain resitant finishes , They are water resistant which inturn

help stop mold growth, synthetic made rugs are anti alergenic much better for babys rooms or any one sufering from alergys. another benefit is they resist color fade from sun light much better than wool. So we would recommend if you were buying a rug for the kitchen or door way for it to be made of synthetic fibers,preferably with a non slip backing.

Foreigners Buying More Property In Spain Than Ever The latest report published by the Council of Property Registrars has confirmed that foreigners are buying more property in Spain than ever. In concrete, international investors acquired almost 48,000 properties in the last year, which is an increase of more than 13% from the previous 12 months. The report also revealed that the British are still the top buyers of Spanish real estate, and make up 21% of the total of all

purchases

made

foreigners.

This calculates at approximately 10,000 homes bought by investors or tourists by a nationality whose relationship with the rest of the Europe is currently in doubt if the UK exits the EU. Business relationships and commercial deals may become a lot more difficult if Brexit does happen. In nowhere near the same volume, the next top property-purchasing nationalities are the French, German and Swedes, who each make up between 6 and 7% of the total purchases made by foreign buyers. The Chinese represent around 4% of all purchases. Total tionals

purchases: na+ foreigners

And, as you can imagine, as the number of property purchases go up so too do

house prices, especially in areas where foreign buyers tend to prefer. The first quarter of 2016 closed with house prices rising 6.9% annually, slightly up on how much prices also increased at the end of 2015. Between January and March 2016, a total of 100,000 properties were sold just in that quarter. This is the highest figure for the last 12 quarters, or the last three years, and the second highest figure for the last 20 quarters. And, this rise in the number of house purchases has been registered across almost every region, as 16 autonomous regions saw the number of property sales go up for the same period from the previous year. The majority of sales took place in the regions of AndalucĂa, CataluĂąa, Madrid and Valencia.

With such a good start to the year, it looks as though the sector could be in for its best year regarding property sales. Despite the good news, investors are not so interested in purchasing new builds, and are opting for resale property in the majority of cases instead. The number of transactions involving new-build properties hit an all-time low during the first quarter of the year.

Rental Housing Prices Rose by 0.8% in April The average price of rental housing in Spain increased by 0.8% in April, according to the latest data from property portal fotocasa, and stood at 7.29 euros/m2 per month. This monthly increase in the price of rental housing continues the trend that prevailed during 2015, when rental prices started to rise following eight years of widespread declines. In April, some 14 of Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regions registered month-on-month

increases in rental prices, and yearon-year all regions registered increases. In fact, the year-on-year increase in April, of 4.5%, is one of the most significant rises in recent months. According to the portal, the rental market in Spain is experiencing strong growth, both in supply and demand, causing the prices to rise throughout much of the country, which they say is due to various rea-

sons such as the strong demand, the impossibility of buying a home for a great part of the population and the high returns offered by rental housing. Moreover, the Spanish are also showing increasing interest in favour of renting a home over buying. Since rental prices reached their maximum levels in May 2007 (10.12 euros/m2 per month) the price of rental housing has accumulated an average decline of -27.9%. In fact six regions have registered declines in excess of -30% since their maximum levels. The region of AragĂłn has registered the greatest drop in rental prices (-40.1%), followed by Castilla-La Mancha (-35.5%), Cantabria (-35.2%) and Valencia (-31.4%).

Some 14 regions recorded increases in rental prices in the month of April, ranging from 4.3% in the Balearic Islands to 0.1% in Cantabria. In contrast, rental prices fell in three regions in April: by -0.1% in Navarre and by -0.3% in Aragon and the Basque Country. In the ranking of prices, Catalonia took first place over the Basque Country as the most expensive region in which to rent, with prices of 10.22 euros/m2 per month and 10.15 euros/m2 per month, respectively, followed by Madrid (10.13 euros/ m2 per month), while in contrast, the regions with the most affordable rental housing are Extremadura (4.50 euros/m2 per month) and Castilla-La Mancha (4.67 euros/m2 per month).

BBVA Reports Both House Prices and Sales to Go Up This Year BBVA, Spain’s second bank, has its own investigation and analysis department where it looks at trends within the finance sector and property market. In its latest study, the bank has revealed that prospects for the property sector in this country look extremely positive indeed after evaluating statistics from the first quarter of the year. In 2016, the BBVA has forecast that house prices will increase 3%, while the number of property purchases will go up 10%. This means that a total of 440,000 transactions are expected to be carried out this year. And regarding house prices, the increase in property value will be more apparent in the most active markets such as Spain’s major cities and along the Mediterranean coast. Where activity is not so busy, house prices will rise at a smaller rate or remain stable. As with all of those involved in Spain’s real-estate sector, as well as other types

of business, it is hoped that the c u r r e n t uncertainty regarding the country’s economic and political front does not work its way down to the demand for property. In line with figures from last year and the current trend, 440,000 property transactions should take place in 2016. The report also shows that investors are now once again attracted to buying land in Spain after previously ignoring and turning their nose up

at any type of offer and investment. Land purchases are rising, as is the construction of new property. This year, it is hoped that new construction licenses go up by about 30%. Not only this, but a greater number of Spanish families are now taking out mortgages and purchasing new homes, often larger properties than those popular during the boom years. Experts believe that investment into Spanish property will continue to grow this year, increasing how much the sector brings to the country’s GDP. This article is sponsored by: www.abacoadvisers.com

Half of All Properties Up for Sale in Barcelona Is Sold Within 90 Days

The property market is booming in Spain’s second city, Barcelona. According to a report carried out by leading real-estate portal Idealista. com, 50% of all properties that are up for sale in the city are sold in less than three months. If a property has been on the market for more than a year, it is likely that a buyer won’t be found. During the month of April this year, 15% of the properties sold in that month in Barcelona had only been up for sale with Idealista for less than 30 days. Similarly, erties sold new owner and 87.3%

50.6% of all the propin April had found a within three months, in less than a year.

Property sales are extremely fluid now in the country’s largest cities and the majority of homes are sold very quickly. If the seller is still trying to find a buyer after 12 months, he will probably need to change tactic, either by making changes to the property itself or by reducing the sale price. Certain districts within Barcelona are obviously more popular than others, and properties sell much

quicker in these areas. For example, the greatest number of operations in April took place in the district of Eixample (22.8% of all operations), followed by Sant Martí (16.5%), Horta Guinardó (13.9%) and Gràcia (11.4%). The remainder of all operations were distributed between the districts of Les Corts (8.9%), Ciutat Vella (7.6%), Sants Montjüic (6.3%), Sant Andreu (5.1%), Nou Barris and Sarrià Sant Gervasi (3.8%).

Property prices On average, the properties that were sold in Barcelona last month sold at around 324,689 euro. A total of 27.8% of homes purchased went for 20% more than the average price for their area; 5.1% were sold for between 10 and 20% more; 32.9% of purchasers paid the average selling price for the area; 12.7% paid less than the average price; and 21.5% purchased the property at a really good bargain (more than 20% lower). Looking closer at the figures,around 60% of the total property purchases

in Barcelona for April involved properties selling for less than 300,000 euro. Only 5.1% were worth more than 750,000 euro; 12.7% between 500,000 and 750,000 euro; and 21.5% between 300,000 and 500,000 euro.

Size The average size of the properties sold in the city in April was 93 square metres. Around 40% of the properties were smaller than this. Only

17.7% of buyers chose properties measuring more than 120 square metres. And, the most popular properties were those with three bedrooms (43%). They were followed by four or more bedroomed homes (27.8%) and those with two bedrooms (19%). Only 2.5% of the homes purchased were studios and 7.6% had one bedroom only.

Political Pressure for N-332 Political Pressure for N-332 Widening at Torrevieja Widening at Torrevieja Members of the regional socialist party, Herick Campos y Antonia Moreno, accompanied by local PSOE councillors, visited Torrevieja this week to look at one of the most problematic roads in the entire area, the N-332 as is passes through Torrevieja. The stretch of road is one of the few sectors which was not widened under recent changes to the road network, and yet it is one of the busiest sections of the coastal road. The seven-kilometre stretch not only serves as a bottleneck for traffic, it is also the location of a number of seri-

ous and fatal incidents in recent years. Campos recalled that the previous national socialist government invested 28 million euro in widening schemes in the surrounding towns, and also explained how the former local mayor, Eduardo DolĂłn, had said that the widening work would commence in 2015, although nothing has ever begun after state investment was postponed until at least 2018. With a new socialist led government regional government in Valencia, investment has started to be allocated to various projects around the area, such as the outstanding emergency coordination centre on the Orihuela Costa, and as such they intend to campaign for the work to widen the road to become a priority. Moreno, facing the next general election said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is a firm commitment of the PSOE to ensure the widening as soon as possibleâ&#x20AC;?.

The Spanish government has released the latest road fatality statistics, revealing that in 2015, a total of 1,688 people have been recorded as losing their lives on the roads of Spain, the same number as in 2014. However, there were 9,503 people seriously injured, which has dropped slightly from the 9,574 in 2015. The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior, Luis Aguilera, revealed the figures at a road safe-

ty and sustainability conference, and covers the main road network throughout the country, except Catalonia and the Basque Country. In view of these results, Luis Aguilera has expressed the need to continue working with municipalities in general and with the police and those responsible for traffic Basque Country and Catalonia to ensure that the reduction in casualties occurs across all regions.

BBC heralds return of BAFTA-winning comedy Peter Kay’s Car Share

Fresh from winning Best Scripted Comedy at the BAFTA Television Awards, and Peter Kay taking home the award for Best Male Performance in a Comedy, today the BBC is delighted to confirm that the phenomenally successful comedy Peter Kay’s Car Share will be returning for a second much-anticipated series. After a record-breaking first series which premiered exclusively on BBC iPlayer in 2015, Peter Kay and Sian Gibson will be back in 2017 to continue their partnership as colleagues John and Kayleigh who found themselves united in their journey to work by a company car share scheme. Set and filmed in the North West, Car Share remains the most-watched new sitcom since 2011. Series one climaxed with a ‘will they won’t they’ pivotal moment between John and Kayleigh as their chemistry grew and it looked like romance was on the cards. The soundtrack to their friendship (courtesy of fictional local radio station Forever FM) was sealed with a mix CD from Kayleigh to John, but what will become of their blossoming relationship?

BBC1

Peter Kay says: “What a joy to be working on the second series of Car Share with the wonderful Sian Gibson. The success of the first series has been completely overwhelming.” Car Share was one of the first-ever series to premiere on BBC iPlayer in its entirety before a linear transmission. As a box set, it received three million iPlayer requests in its first four days alone, before the series transmitted on BBC One to over six million viewers and huge critical acclaim as its haul of awards nominations and wins attests. It won Best Comedy at the National Television Awards and Best Entertainment Programme at the TRIC Awards, received four awards at the RTS North West Awards and a further two BAFTA Television Awards nominations. Sian Gibson says: “I’m really excited that Car Share is coming back. We had so much fun making the first series and I can’t wait to be Kayleigh Kitson again.” Commissioned by Charlotte Moore, Controller, TV Channels and iPlayer, and Shane Allen, Controller, Comedy Commissioning, series two is written

BBC2

by Paul Coleman, Sian Gibson and Peter Kay, who also directs. It will once again be produced by Gill Isles for production company Goodnight Vienna. The series is 4x30’ and will premiere in its entirety on BBC iPlayer. Charlotte Moore says: “Car Share broke the mould, innovated and took risks in comedy on primetime BBC One - a show that epitomises what the channel is all about. I can’t wait for the Bafta-award-winning series to return,

Endeavour returns for series 4

Successful detective drama Endeavour, the prequel to Inspector Morse, will return to ITV for a fourth series following the strong audience reaction to series three. Set in the summer of 1967, the new films begin filming on location in Oxford in Spring 2016. Endeavour stars Shaun Evans (War Book, The Scandalous Lady W) who has won the hearts and minds of critics and viewers alike with his portrayal of the young Morse. Scripts will once again be written by Russell Lewis, who also wrote for Inspector Morse and created Endeavour. Acclaimed stage and screen actor Roger Allam (The Lady in the Van, Mr Holmes, Parade’s End) will return as Endeavour’s senior officer, Detective Inspector Fred Thursday alongside Anton Lesser as Chief Superintendent Reginald Bright, Sean Rigby as PC Jim Strange, James Bradshaw as Doctor Max deBryn, Caroline O’Neil as Win Thursday, Dakota Blue Richards as WPC Shirley Trewlove, and Abigail Thaw as Dorothea Frazil. With 2017 marking the 30th Anniversary of Inspector Morse on ITV,

viewers can expect many respectful tips of the trilby from Endeavour to its much admired progenitor in terms of guest casting, heritage characters and stories. As Series IV (1967 Vol.2) resumes, barely a fortnight has passed since the events depicted in the series III finale, and we find Oxford’s finest picking up the pieces of their lives, both personal and professional. Endeavour waits to hear the result of his Sergeant’s Exam, and selfmedicates to numb his heartache, but whisky and Tännhauser will only get a man so far. While Thursday and Win deal with their own sense of grief. Their home is empty, Sam gone to the Army and Joan… Who knows where? The summer of 1967 is on the turn. Midsummer has been and gone but in Lovelace College a team of boffins is about to unveil a ‘thinking machine’ that will challenge the Soviets, and plunge Endeavour and Thursday into their most perilous, baffling and darkly terrifying case to date. White Heat. Cold War. And an immortal game that will cast the life of a friend into the hazard.

The stories that remain will take Endeavour and Thursday, together with the rest of Oxford’s Finest, into places hitherto unexplored – the worlds of 1960s pop; Doctors and Nurses; and an exploration of the English pastoral. Further cast for Film 1 includes James Laurenson (Wolf Hall, The Riot Club), who appeared in the very first Inspector Morse episode, The Dead of Jericho, as Tony Richards in 1987. James is playing Professor Amory and his appearance will coincide with the 30th anniversary of Morse in 2017. Also cast are Tristan Sturrock (Poldark, Doc Martin) as Dr Bernard Gould, Adam James (Doctor Foster, Thicker Than Water) as Kent Finn, Gillian Saker (Ripper Street, Misfits) as Pat Amory and Chris Fulton (One of

Alan Tyler Statement Regarding Top Gear

Alan Tyler, Acting Controller of BBC Entertainment Commissioning, today made the following statement regarding the all-new Top Gear. “We are delighted that this was the strongest launch episode of Top Gear since 2013 with 6.4 million tuning in for the first programme of the new series. We are also thrilled that Top Gear was the most watched programme on BBC Two amongst 16-34s last week. Add to this a further 1.75m requests on BBC iPlayer to date, along with the highest audience share for an individual transmission (28.8%) since The Great British Bake Off in 2013, and it is clear that there is plenty to celebrate about the return of the nation’s favourite motoring show.

“Last night, Chris, Matt and the team once again brilliantly led BBC Two’s biggest show of the day, by some margin. It secured a peak audience of 3.3m, and the show again remained the most requested programme on BBC iPlayer. “With lots more adventures on the way in this new series, including a continental challenge with the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a luxury car contest in Ireland, stunning review films, plenty of power laps and many

more great guests taking on the all-new rallycross track, we are looking forward to Chris, Matt and the gang bringing more of the allnew Top Gear to our audiences.”

With a consolidated audience of 6.42m, Sunday’s Series 23 launch episode is on par in terms of volume with episode one in 2015 (6.41m) and just ahead of the 2015 series average (6.32m). It was the strongest launch episode since series 19 (6.66m – 27 Jan 2013, including simulcast viewing on BBC HD) with time-shifted viewing adding an additional 2m viewers to the original live+vosdal figure. At 28.8%, share is well up on the 2015 launch episode (20.8%) and 2015 series average (21.8%) In terms of share it was the highest for a launch episode since 2009 (31.7% - 21 Jun 2009) and the highest share achieved since August 2009. So far, there have been 1.75 million requests for the programme on iPlayer (up to Friday 3 June only), which is on par with episode one of the 2015 series over the same number of days.

New Restrictions Prohibit Entry Of Motor Craft Into Sea Caves By Javeamigos

New restrictions imposed by the Ayuntamiento de Xàbia will, for the first time, restrict access of motor craft into the Cova del Llop Marí and Cova del Òrguens, the two renowned sea caves on the Cap de la Nau headland. For some years, each summer has seen a huge amount of motor craft entering the caves, calling into question not only the conservation issues - for example, the Cova del Llop Marí hosts a colony of asplenium marinum (sea spleenwort) - but also the safety of those people who access the caves by swimming or by paddle. In addition, a number of private companies have been organising excursions that virtually monopolise of a natural resource listed as a protected natural area known as a “Lugar de Interés Comunitario (LIC)” within Penya-Segats de la Marina Alta. To prevent this situation

continuing, both the caves of Cova del Llop Marí and Cova del Òrguens will be marked off by buoys to determine a swimming zone. The decision, taken with the support of the Ministry of the Environment, will mean that the Policía Local will be responsible for managing the security of these zones and intervene when necessary in the case of infringement by motor craft. Mooring buoys will also be placed for vessels so that they do not have to drop anchor which could cause damage to marine flora.

Diving Buoys

Another new feature for 2016 is the installation 33 mooring buoys dedicated for divers, nine of which will be located along the northern coast and the Marine Reserve, 17 in the bay of Portitxol and seven along the southern coast. The facilities have been installed with the consensus of diving companies and with the

Teulada Antique Fair

By David Rogers

Once again the popular and interesting Antiques and collectors Fair will take place at Salon Canor, Calle Assagador 03724 Teulada on Sunday the 19th June. This is a lovely day out, a place to see so many diverse and mostly beautiful items There is food available all day

and hot food at lunch time. The venue is indoors in an elegant salon with a bar which will be open all day for drinks and parking and entry is free of charge, doors open at 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. For any enquiries please contact Sue or Paul on 965 732 7410 / 626 795 587 and they will be pleased to help

sailor’s association of Xàbia to meet the same objective - to provide a facility for diving vessels to moor without the need to drop an anchor. These are in addition to the buoys that have been placed to mark out the bathing zones in the beaches and the bays along the coast of Xàbia and in particular in busy spots such as Cala Sardinera which suffers from invasion from vessels into an area reserved for bathers. For the 2016 season, the Policía Local will be carrying out specific monitoring using a dedicated vessel and jet ski and, if necessary, intervene to resolve an infringement.

Future Measures

The actions to protect the sea caves and discourage the use of anchors fall within the commitment

of the Ayuntamiento de Xàbia to natural conservation as a valuable strategic development. To this end, it has launched the brand XABIA SOSTENIBLE - Sustainable Xàbia which encompasses all actions in this regard. The Department of Tourism stressed that “the best guarantee for the future of our tourism industry is the care of the landscape and environmental values that have made Xàbia a destination of international prestige.”

ILLEGAL GARLIC VENDORS Reaches 50.000 Euros

Press Release.

On Jan 1st 2016 G4G had donated 40.000 to charity in Spain and had hoped to reach 50.000 by the end of the year but last week donated 1.000 euros to Grant a Wish, which means that they reached their target on June 1st. Although G4G normally donates to cancer charities they heard Grant A Wish were raising money to buy a seizure dog for a 6 year old boy named Elio who lives in El Verger and suffers with severe epileptic fits so they felt it was a great cause to help this boy and his family. Gary is very proud of his team of volunteers of whom this would not have been possible and

would like to thank them all for all their hard work. He would like to thank all the generous people of the Costa Blanca for their donations to the shops and attending G4Gs charity events.

G4G always needs volunteers and donations at all their shops which can be collected so please call Gary on 603 137 697 Many thanks for all your help.

The Teulada-Moraira police confiscated 400kg of garlic, which has been for sale in poor hygiene and sanitary condition. It was sold by illegal street vendors. While the agents were on a routine round they discovered about half a dozen street vendors selling garlic to shops and individuals. When they asked for identification the vendors would lead them to a hidden van where the garlic was kept and neither driver nor vendors could prove where the garlic originated from.

They presented a bill over 500kg at a certain price, but there was no identification on the bill. The agents then discovered that the vendors had already been convicted for burglary and that they couldn´t present a licence. The 400kg, which were kept on the floor of the van with the temperature rising, got confiscated and the vendors were detained. As the van didn´t have a licence and quite a fair amount of deficiencies they also confiscated the van.

Teulada Moraira Lions Club Free* Summer CONCERTS

T.M. Lions are delighted to welcome back U3A as the band to “kick off” this year’s season of Free* Summer Concerts at the Seafront in Moraira. Last year’s concert was the first occasion on which U3A had performed at one of T.M. Lions’ fund-raising events and, although the Club knew that the band enjoyed a large & loyal local following, they were, for T.M. Lions, something of an unknown quantity - until, that is, they began to play on that stage at the Seafront and all the Lions lucky enough to be there were genuinely blown away by the quality of the performance. The guys who make up U3A don’t leap about the stage (indeed, some of them barely move at all (!)), they just produce really great music from a repertoire which is as rich as it is varied, covering primarily golden classics of rock

‘n roll from the 50s, 60s and 70s with, from time to time, a little bit of blues thrown into the mix: for example, last year’s mouthwatering playlist included such all time favourites as “Woolly Bully”, “Jumping Jack Flash”, “Mony Mony”, “Proud Mary”, “Honky Tonk Woman”, “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” and “Mustang Sally” Those of you who were at last year’s U3A Concert at the Seafront will know exactly what a treat is in store. To those of you who weren’t there, DON’T MISS OUT THIS TIME AROUND! This concert is generously sponsored by Dragon Insurance, Benitachell, to whom T.M. Lions extend their grateful thanks and appreciation. *Admission to all T.M. Lions Summer Concerts in Moraira is free but Teulada-Moraira Lions´ Club Members will be there in their distinctive yellow tops to raise funds for their community work and various charitable projects by “rattling buckets” and asking for donations from the audience - PLEASE DO GIVE GENEROUSLY.

U3A Vall del Pop 4-day trip to Zaragoza

By Lorraine Bellami U3A

A group of excited U3A members set off early on the 16th May to Zaragoza - a bustling, vibrant city, clean and full of life. In the evenings hundreds of shoppers, tourists and locals paraded through the streets and plazas, everyone took advantage of the beautiful weather by sitting out in the plazas with tapas and drinks. Being in Spain we had a little difficulty getting an evening meal, the restaurants did not open until late. The highlight of this city was the Basilica del Pilar and Museo Pilarist, both devoted to Our Lady of the Pilar. The Basilica was a most impressive building with its many spires and towers, a photographer’s paradise. The inside was beautiful; we entered whilst a religious service was taking place complete with choir. The river Ebro flows through the city, and this building was almost on its bank. On Tuesday 17th May we travelled to the Monasterio de Piedra and adjoining park. Our first two hours were taken up by walking through the park, this was absolutely spectacular, we saw a series of waterfalls varying in height and width, the highest was 90 metres. Watching

the tons of cascading water was awesome, again a photographer’s paradise. In the afternoon we did a tour of the centuries-old monastery, now defunct of course, this was interesting but a little tiring after the morning marathon at the waterfalls. On Wednesday 18th May we travelled to the city of Logrono, capital of the Rioja region and famous for its wines, where we had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Many underground wine cellars were built under the city; eight still remain and are open to the public. Logrono is a city where eating is a must, and all the backstreets and alleys were awash with bars and restaurants. For those who have never experienced inland Spain, a trip such as this is a must, you will not regret it.

Celebrate 40 Years With Javea Players

By Andrew Johnson - Press Officer

Javea Players were born in 1976 and they are still performing great theatre. They think that merits a big celebration and they want you to enjoy that celebration with them. It will be taking place in the lovely Javea courtyard, the Plaza Baix and last a week and a day. The celebrations start with a free party on the night of Saturday July 2nd. They’re having a huge birthday cake and will be serving it with cava at around 7.30 pm. And they have booked for the night arguably the best party band on the Costa Blanca, Strikland. The band was formed in 2008 and the energy and the passion the band puts into making sure their audiences enjoy a great night out has earned them a big and highly appreciative following. That following has become huge since 2014 when Rob Sweeney joined them as lead singer and Dave Willemsen as guitarist to complete a line-up with original members, Phil Cox (drums) , Nick Hollings (keyboard) and Rowdy Willemsen (bass) . Rob is acknowledged as one of the most versatile and polished singers on the Costa Blanca – able to switch effortlessly between almost any musical style and with an

incredibly rich and powerful voice. . The band will be getting the party music going at around 8.30 pm and will be keeping it going until late. The celebrations for the following week, Monday July 4 to Saturday July 9, will take the form of alfresco dining and a great show specially imported from the UK. At 7 pm, the Bar Imperial will be serving a three course dinner with wine in the charming Plaza Baix. Dinner will be followed by the highly acclaimed Julie Andrews tribute show, Truly Andrews in the Casa de Cultura -just a few steps from your table. Devised and performed by the singer and actress, Aimi P, the show includes all the Julie Andrews hits you know and love and, from earlier years of her career, some numbers you have yet to know but are sure to love. It is a happy, feel-good show, just perfect for a big celebration such as a 40th birthday. The inclusive price of the show and the dinner is 15 euros. Book, you are strongly advised to do so early, at boxoffice@ javeaplayers.com or on 96 647 2876.

Puerto de Xavia Freemason’s Lodge hold Grand Summer Party

By WBro William Turney Press Officer

On the 22nd of May, Puerto de Xavia Lodge, held their Grand Summer Party. It was held at the excellent L’echalotte restaurant in Costa Nova which hosted not only a large number of Masons and their wives and friends (over 60) but also provided a huge buffet, a barbeque and live music. The buffet was gargantuan with numerous cold starters and a huge selection of choices but also a barbeque and no less than four different paellas. This was followed by another great selection of home made cakes and gateaux

provided by the Ladies of the Lodge. Music was supplied by local entertainer, Irish Des, who sang and played guitar beautifully. He sang a variety of songs ranging from rock and roll to covers of songs from many popular singers. His talents were widely appreciated by all there. I must say from a personal point of view it was a refreshing change to hear a very talented musician and singer who was able to sing and play very well without drowning out any chance of holding a conversation. Well done Des! There was also a raffle to raise funds for the charity, chosen this year by the Worshipful Master Chris Stonley. Two hundred and thirty euros were raised which will be added to other funds raised throughout the year and will be presented to a local charity at the culmination of Chris’s year in office.

Un-Brolly-Vable!

By Spencer WIlliams

The councillor for beaches in Torrevieja, Javier Manzanares, has said this week that the 150 euro fine for installing an umbrella on the beach of the town is “excessive”, and so the town hall is looking to revise the ordinance to fit “a little more to other criteria”. The comment came on Friday when the councillor was asked about an incident in September when a resident of the town was “caught red handed” with a beach shade

and was fined by the local police and had the items removed. Manzanares said that this was the first recorded instance of action being taken against bathers after the law was imposed some 4 years ago. “There are many people who go to the beach at 9 or 10 in the morning and find that others have already visited at 5 in the morning to reserve their space by placing umbrellas and other materials on the beach”, Manzanares explained, which in

his view the town hall “cannot consent to” as “nobody has exclusive use of the beach”. However, the 150 euro fine for doing so is “a little rough”. Leaving items on the beaches to reserve space is not only an annoyance for visitors, it also interferes with the safe operation on the beach as machinery is often used to clean and prepare the sand before use, both for the benefit of the beach visitors and the environment.

Reckless Swimmers To Be Fined Man found dead By Spencer WIlliams

The beaches of Guardamar del Segura are without any doubt some of the finest in the southern Costa Blanca, but they can also be among the most dangerous and the local authorities are keenly aware of the Reckless swimmers to be fined on the beaches of Guardamar del Seguraneed to respect the risks of bathing in adverse conditions. Last year three people were fined 150 euros for ignoring the red warning flags at beaches in the municipality, and this summer the Town Hall is stepping up its campaign to avoid accidents and incidents being caused by reckless bathers. It is important to remember that those who pit their swimming ability against waves risk not only their own lives but also those of the lifeguards and rescue services who might be needed to come to their aid, and special attention will be paid to this during the summer security campaign, which begins on 10th June. In addition, the Town Hall has announced that street vendors will be the focus of attention from the Guardia Civil, and that extra Policía Local officers will be drafted in as of mid-June to strengthen the presence on and around the beaches of Guardamar. Among the offences they will be instructed to punish, apart from disregarding the advice of lifeguards, are fishing in unauthorized areas, taking animals

onto the beach and the placing of beach umbrellas in frontline locations prior to the completion of the daily c l e a n ups of the beaches of Guardamar del Segura.

off the Playa del Cura in Torrevieja

By Spencer WIlliams

The Policía Judicial of the Guardia Civil are investigating the death of a man whose body was found floating face down off the Playa del Cura in the centre of Torrevieja on Wednesday morning, with the first issue to be resolved being that of the identity of the deceased. Passers-by called the Guardia Civil at approximately 8.00 to report the sighting of the body, which was fully clothed and floating face down near the Punta Margalla breakwater at the northern end of the beach. Officers managed to retrieve the body without the aid of

a boat, and it is reported that he had died only shortly before being spotted. He is estimated to have been between 65 and 70 years old. The next matter to be resolved after the man is identified will be what the circumstances of his death were, and at the moment no theory can yet be discounted: natural death, suicide, accident or violent death. Investigating officers searched the surrounding area for any documentation or other belongings owned by the deceased before the body was removed at 11.00.

Kitesurfer Speared Through Ankle By Fish

By David Rogers

Amazing impact of a needle (Garfish) with a kitesurfist in the maritime district of torrevieja A Kitesurfist (Kitesurfing: Surfboard powered by a kite) that I was doing the crossing pilar de la horadada to torrevieja, at the height of Cabo Roig (Orihuela), On the 15 hours he was struck by a needle (Garfish), He broke his jaw and the left lodged at the height of the ankle. It’s definitely a fact

totally unusual, that borders the impossible... The Needles isn’t it weird to see them jump out of the water, usually to be threatened by a predator. This is a fish of about 50 cm in length in adults, although there are copies that can reach 90 cm. The hypothesis that I raise (as always I ask other opinions of experts), Is that this needle was threatened either by a predator or by the same surf board

(in this modality can reach great speed) and, to jump out of the water, took place the tremendous chance to get caught up in the ankle of the unfortunate s p o r t s m a n . A little bit of pain, I stop by the hospital and a story for the whole life.... ( Of course, the needle died) Mood Marcos! (the picture of the needle is the internet)

Altea Dog Beach Pre-Approval

By Spencer Williams

During an Altea Town Council meeting last week, a section of beach has been preapproved for the use of pets. The approval can with support of the governing groups, Commitment, PSPV-PSOE and Labour and Altea CIPAL however without support of the Popular Party, they can now amend the regulation allowing for an enclosed area pets and their owners to enjoy the beach and sea, the area proposed is in the beach area between the ‘’Mar i Muntanya’’ habour and the reef facing the small island. The Councillor for Infrastructure and Beaches, Roque Ferrer, explained ‘’ the amendment of the regulation responds to the demands of a significant part of the population to use an area of beach where you can go with pets. ‘’Ferrer noted that, Altea is an urban area and has a lot of influx of swimmers, which has been taken into account on choosing the location.

The regulation amendment will state that the presence of pets is prohibited at all other coastline areas. In any case, the presence of pets on the beaches will be subject to compliance with the safety, hygienic and general rules that the municipality has for all beaches in the municipality as well as the legislation of the protection of animals. Pet owners will be considered responsible for their safety and any actions performed by their pets. Roque Ferrer has also insisted that people with dogs and other animals should try to avoid having their pets defecate on the beach but if they do they have the obligation to collect and remove any faeces as well as clean the area that is affected. If pet owners fail to oblige by the rules the privilege will likely be removed Final approval will take place at the next plenary session once any checks have been completed and to ensure of citizens are satisfied with the decision.

Old To Learn

Members of the U3A Marina Baixa Spanish Group, celebrated 9 months of studying before the Summer Break, by enjoying tapas at the Casa de Cultura in Alfaz del Pi. The “students” had attended classes every Monday since last September and had all made excellent progress, in their aim to master the Spanish language. Classes had been a combination of serious concentration,

especially when learning the past tenses, and fun learning, through games and conversations. New friendships were forged and the group certainly proved that you are never too old to learn something new with the oldest “student” celebrating his 80th birthday last Autumn. A new group for Beginners will be starting on 5 September.

Facelift For Lighthouse Route

The town hall of Alfas del Pi is plannig a facelift for the route to the Albir lighthouse affected by the project to remodel Camí Vell del Far.

After the work is completed, which is due to start in the last trimester of this year, the Racó de lÁlbir beach will connect with the Camino del Faro , known as one of the prettiest and most visited walking trails of the natural parks in the Valencian Community Arques and his team have covered the whole section to be renovated before next week´s approval of the final plan after it goes up for tender. “The work begins at the end of 2016. We hope the crossing between the Racó de lÁlbir beach and the Camio del Faro will

achieve contact with nature and will serve as a showcase and point of entrance to the Serra Gelada natural park, taking advantage of the look out points and natural terraces which will continue to be available to visitors” explained Vicente Soler the civic planning councillor. The area suffered a series of landslides around a decade ago. This project will see the recuperation of the look outs, terraces and other observation sites towards the beautiful bay of lÁlbir from the cliffs that give acces to the Sierra Gelada natural park. Soler concludes “this will place value on one of our most

important assets; our beautiful natural surroundings. Recuperating these areas will permit residents and visitors visiting the sites to enjoy the views and the tranquillity that the natural parks offer. It´s worth remembering that the trail is classed as a blue walk from it´s start point at the beach and takes around 40 – 45 minutes to complete.

Benidorm Council Install Visual And Hearing Disability Crossing Devices

By David Rogers

Benidorm Council has modernized some of the towns pedestrian crossings by installing devices to help the hearing and visually impaired in some of the busiest parts of the town. The boxes have been placed at crossings along the busiest roads across the town including Beniardá, Jaime I and Alfonso Puchades, and also in some parts of Avenida Villajoyosa and Avenida Mediterrano. The devices vibrate as well as make signals by sound allowing visually or hearing impaired people to navigate safely when using crossings. A great feature with these devices is that they can be adjusted allowing the volume of the audio signals to be much louder during busy periods of the day, and lowered during the early hours to avoid disturbing sleeping neighbours.

Mayor, Toni Pérez, visited some of the crossings and gave his approval as well as stressing that the town hall will continue to add these devices to other

areas that indicate their need. These disability devices are part of a large project aiming to install around 400,000 more across the Valencia Region.

Altea Shark Found Washed Up

By Spencer Williams

A Shark that was spotted swimming around the harbour in Altea has been found washed up on a near by beach. Last week the event was captured on film and loaded onto social media where it was viewed 75,000 times! The shark got its very own police escort as local officers lured it out of the port and was apparently spotted a number of times elsewhere but was

unfortunately found dead, washed up on Mascarat beach in Altea the following day. Reports suggest that it is likely the shark had struggled after getting disorientated finding itself in the harbour and may have died due to stress. Weighing at approximately 120 kilos and over 3 metres long was taken to the Valencian University for study purposes.

There Is Only One Ricky Fatton

By Spencer Williams

Not just famous for boxing Ricky Hatton is well known for his appetite, in between fights he was always spotted chomping down on pie he has never stayed away from his love of food. However he always managed to drop the weight during training camps. Last week Hatton was spotted in many venues across Benidorm but one particular photo shared on his Twitter account went viral and was picked up by the British media. The photo was of “The Greedy Mans Breakfast” - the biggest breakfast you can find in Benidorm and it’s only available at the Yorkshire Pride Pubs and also the Queen Vic, which was acquired last year as part of the chain, which is run by Tad Dawson who has made the Yorkshire Pride Pubs Famous and is a must visit for anyone travelling to Benidorm. Don’t worry if you don’t have the appetite there are smaller English breakfasts if your appetite isn’t as large as the ‘Hitmans’.

A Trip To The Pig ‘N’ Whistle Benidorm

By Spencer Williams

The Old Town of Benidorm would not be a tourist hot spot without a visit to the Pig and Whistle, a traditional British pub and a firm favourite for the thousand of returning visitors to Benidorm who find that the Old Town has so much to offer and visiting the Pig and Whistle is all part of the holiday experience. Jonny Vegas is a regular visitor at the Pig n Whistle along with other cast members of the hit TV series “Benidorm” So what has this lovely little bar got to offer that so many people find so attractive? Well for me it’s all about the fantastic choice of beers. Living in Spain has one dramatic disadvantage for those who love the traditional

British pub and that’s the beer that a traditional British pub serves. Most pubs and bars have only larger on tap and in most cases with only one choice. As you will be more than aware, it is the fact that in the UK we traditionally have a Choice of beer on draught. Not only larger but a range of Ales is a common attraction to pub lovers. At the Pig and Whistle you can enjoy the range wide of drinks as well as having Greene King IPA on draught not to mention the other draught products that include a local larger, Peroni and Strongbow. When it comes to sport you will not find a better venue for the Euro 2016 finals and even

for a perfect afternoon of Tennis it’s allavailable at the Pig. 6 screens with every match being show and during the competition you will find some amazing special offers. Join in the Euro after party after every England game you are the DJ when you can choose the music. If the heat is getting to you then cool down and relax as the air conditioning is a firm favourite of the locals who just love to come

and escape the sun during the summer months. On the other hand if you’re looking for some action then maybe a cocktail or some shots from the new shot and cocktail menu card with amazing deals. Get your party into the full swing at the Pig even to enjoy the game of pool or darts in our sports room before the games start. The Pig and Whistle is the old towns best kept secret. Where you can enjoy top quality drinks, in a relaxed cool environment, watch your favourite sport and listen to your very own music a great place to visit and maybe even spot a celebrity along the way too...And if you need any extra reason to visit they now have Spit fire Ale On Drught , Yum!
