Spain finally has a Prime Minister as Rajoy is victorious Mariano Rajoy was voted in as the new prime minister of Spain at the second round of a congressional vote on Saturday night. So finally after 315 days the PP candidate obtained a simple majority or 170 for and 111 against. The Socialist party (PSOE) voted, albeit not unanimously, to abstain in the second round of the MPs’ vote in parliament, allowing PP leader, Mariano Rajoy, to be sworn in as Spain’s prime minister at the helm of a minority government. The
decision was made at the federal committee meeting with 139 votes in favour of allowing Rajoy to form a new government, and break the current political deadlock, and 96 votes against. However, the decision was not without its casualties as Pedro Sánchez resigned his seat in Congress on Saturday, after being defeated in a vote to celebrate a Congress to vote for a new leader, after voting on Thursday against Mariano Rajoy in the first session of his investiture. With his decision he maintains faithful to his no against a PP Cabinet, and respects the decision of the PSOE federal committee, the main organ for the PSOE between congresses, and not vary from his no to the abstention to facilitate a PP Government. With the clock ticking towards the deadline before a third general election
would have to be called, the process towards a new investiture debate sprang into action. King Felipe once again invited Rajoy to stand for election in parliament, two months after his previous failed attempt, and the debate began on Wednesday. Thursday saw the first round of voting, when Rajoy’s bid to run the country for the next four years was rejected for lack of the overall majority required at this stage in the formal process. Following the constitutional rule book, the Congreso reconvened after 48 hours, on Saturday, when the MPs were asked the same question. This time the PSOE members abstained giving Rajoy more votes in favour than against and ending Spain’s period of nearly a year with an acting government. In his speech on Wednesday Rajoy,
who will be ruling without the overall majority he enjoyed until last December’s election, offered dialogue and policy deals in exchange for a “stable, lasting, solid and reassuring” government. He recognised that this time he will have to earn his government “every day” and promised to “negotiate all decisions” and endeavour to “interpret what the people of Spain have said [in the election]”. On Thursday it was the turn of the opposition groups to respond to Rajoy’s speech before the round of voting. Socialist spokesman Antonio Hernández put on a display of political contortion. He had a tricky job, to keep his distance from the party he was going to help into power two days later, defend the position of the PSOE as the main opposition party, but go back on most of the points his party made in the last debate.
He made it clear to Rajoy, though, that the PSOE’s abstention in the investiture vote did not mean that the party would support his government’s legislation. Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias had harsh words for everyone prior to Saturday’s vote, holding his party up as the only real opposition to the “triple alliance” (referring to PP, PSOE and C’s) about to put Rajoy back in the driving seat. Rajoy will wait until Thursday before announcing his new cabinet.

IBI to be reduced in Torrevieja Plans have now been agreed and are well underway to reduce the amount of IBI (council tax) that homeowners in Torrevieja have to pay. This might come as a surprise to the UK community who already are likely to be well aware how much lower IBI is here to that paid in the UK. On average what is paid in a year on a small property in Spain would be how much many home owners of an averagesized property in the UK would pay a month. The intention to reduce IBI has been circulated for a while and the current local government has not wished to stand in the way of what has been seen as a positive development for the town. A number of proposals were put forward and finally it was agreed unanimously by councillors representing the seven parties, that there would be a reduction of 5%. However, this reduction comes at a cost. Although each household will save

between €10 and €40 each annually, it will also mean a reduction in the money available for spending in the town of €1,528,076.70. This one and a half million euros will no longer be available for the provision of services and infrastructure which is already stretched. In order to make up this money, the town council will be forced to find other sources of revenue. It is likely that this will need to come from fines for traffic offences such as parking in prohibited areas, unsanctioned building works and other minor offences that have perhaps been allowed to pass by previously. Although the reduction was passed unanimously it still has to be checked according to the Regla del Gasto to ensure that it does not prejudice any other existing law. However, once this phase is completed we can expect the new charge to come into operation. Suzanne O’Connell

BITE SIZE French student suffers NEWS: fatal accident hiking in The Natural Park of La Mata-Torrevieja is celebrating it’s 20th anniversary and a number of events have been organised to mark this important milestone.The first talk was presented by Justo Ferrer on the subject of the Taro Blanco – the shelduck. Those attending found this a very interesting presentation that included a slide show of the different places where the duck is found and its habitat. The shelduck nests in old rabbit burrows rather than making its own nest on the ground. The male and female are permanent partners and the male bird is very defensive in looking after its young. The shelduck chicks are taken out to water as soon as possible to look for their favourite food, the artemia. Artemia are the small crab-like crustaceans which live in the salty water. Following the talk, members of the audience were then able to see some of the ducks in their natural habitat. The next talk will be on Sunday 6th November and this will focus on the birds of La Mata. On Friday 11th November there will be a bird walk and on Friday 25th November there will be a presentation in the Palacio de la Musica. On Sunday 4th December a walk around the wine route will be held. The park is an outstanding natural resource which in many respects is not a ‘park’ as such but rather a ‘protected space’. It is hoped that as many people as possible will take the opportunity to find out more about it in the coming months. More information and the times of these Continued on page 4
Callosa Mountains A 24-year-old woman died on Saturday whilst hiking in the mountains in Callosa de Segura after a rock fall. The woman was hit on the head, whilst her companion, a young man of 30 suffered a double fracture of the arm and was airlifted to hospital by the emergency services. The pair are believed to be residents of the nearby town of Elche and it is thought that the woman was studying at Elche
SAMU, but tragically nothing could be done to save the young woman’s life. Her companion was flown by helicopter to the nearest medical facility, the Vega Baja Hospital, where he was placed in ICU. However, the man was later transferred to Elche Hospital. The removal of the body of the girl could not be completed until several hours later, once the scene had been

Heading off the rain It will cost Torrevieja almost 28 million euros to address some of the on going problems with flood water in the area. Some parts of the town continue to be flooded during heavy downpours putting a stop to businesses and travel. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón claims that the money is needed to make large adjustments to infrastructure. Two large, separate projects need to be carried out, one of which is to the west of the town. The problem with surface water is partly the result of excessive building which means that there are more impervious surfaces and natural channels have been affected.

Insurance claim against Hospital Quirón Mapfre insurance company has been ordered to pay €120,000 for the death of a patient who suffered a haemorrhage after an operation for a liver biopsy in Hospital Quirón in Torrevieja. The hospital has been found responsible because they did not formally warn the patient of the risks of the operation. The daughter of the applicant was diagnosed in February 2007 of cancer of the cervix. Initially she was given chemotherapy in University Hospital of Navarra and she improved. In June of the same year she was admitted into San Jaime hospital in Torrevieja for a second opinion. They suggested that she should have some sessions of radiotherapy in order to study the possibility of removing the rest of the tumour surgically. In July it was revealed that the patient has a lesion in the liver and it was decided to do a biopsy. On the 6th July this took place and after three hours of surgery she went into shock and haemorrhaged. They intervened surgically but this led to renal failure and various complications with a subsequent shut down of the major organs. The patient died on 30th July 2007. The family denounced the hospital for malpractice claiming that she had not been correctly informed of the risks. Suzanne O’Connell
On the 27th October two children had been left alone on the balcony of a flat in Torrevieja whilst their father was sleeping inside. Police officers took quick action as there was concern that one of the children could have fallen from the balcony to the ground six metres below. The two children, one three years old and the other one year old, had been left playing alone on the balcony of the first floor apartment. Neighbours saw the three year old get up onto a chair in order to climb over the railing. The father, of Swedish nationality, was inside the flat sleeping. It was about 1,30pm when the alarm was raised. Neighbours and business owners in the street saw how the child was left alone on the balcony and was climbing on the chair. They believed at first that the children were alone in the house and from the street below it appeared as though the sliding window was closed and even locked. Neighbours tried ringing the bell to gain entry to the property but as there
was no answer they contacted the local police and the fire brigade. The police were concerned about the immediate risk to the children and managed to get to them before the arrival of the fire brigade. Luckily some builders were working close by on the same building and a police officer was able to borrow a ladder and reach the balcony to rescue the child. The officer opened the sliding window and found the child’s father sleeping in the living room without having heard the calls. The witnesses indicated to a local paper that the children had been on the balcony for around twenty minutes before they gave the alert. The fire engine arrived at the scene shortly after the police had rescued the children. The case has now been referred to social services for an investigation into the level of responsibility of the parents. The police apparently found the house to be very untidy and the family were in possession of a dangerous dog too. Suzanne O’Connell
Promoting the Mediterranean diet On 26th October the mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, signed a protocol to support the programme ‘Towns with a Mediterranean life style’.

Local areas taking part in the initiative include Ibi, Dénia, Elche and, now, Torrevieja. The model being adopted includes a commitment from the town hall to protect and raise awareness of what is a healthy life style. Dolón thanked the president of the provincial government, César Sánchez, for the innovation and for having selected Torrevieja. He also referred to the unique

The Civil Guard has arrested a 49 year old woman and her boyfriend aged 30, both Swiss nationals, for allegedly keeping captive two children under 17 and 15 years of age. It is belied the pair were kept in the house and neglected for more than seven years since they arrived in Spain in March 2009. The two youngsters were unschooled, to the point that they did not know a word of Spanish and rarely left home, not even to go to doctors. The arrest took place in Catral where the couple, together with the children, had lived for barely a month. According to information provided by the Guardia Civil, the younger sibling, a boy, sounded the alarm via e-mail, unbeknown to his mother and her partner because they were forbidden access to the internet or telephone. The boy sent several emails to different associations concerned with the safety and well-being of youngsters reporting their imposed captivity, assaults
and humiliations. It was one of these entities, the Foundation Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk, which sounded the alarm to the authorities after receiving a message on 29th August. The recent change of address did slow down the investigation but the trail eventually led to Catral. The mother of the children denied the claims to officers, and even assured them that there were no children living in the home. However, the girl, who noticed the arrival of the officers, made signals to alert the police to their presence. The mother of the children and her partner were arrested and despite the ill-treatment of the children, were initially detained for complicity and omission of facts. After the arrest the teenagers were admitted to a Children’s Centre in Alicante. The girl will be reunited with her biological father in Switzerland, while the 15 year old has returned to his mother and her partner,
who is not the biological father of the children. The judge gave the approval to the request to return the child to his mother, after they were released. The mother now faces charges of domestic abuse and illegal detention, whilst the boyfriend is charged with aiding and abetting. According to the testimony of the daughter she was suffering constant abuse by her mother, and there was facing no opposition from her Mothers partner. She received continued beatings and crockery and objects would be thrown at her. She said that she had received numerous death threats, and her mother had repeatedly told her that if the police came, they were going to rape and kill her. After their release the couple returned to their Catral home, although neighbours have told reporters that they believe they have now left the house after they were seen carrying clothes and objects out.
Brit arrested with 23 kilos of marihuana The 57 year old man was captured when trying to board a ferry bound for Britain, after he was driving a van found to contain 23 kilos of marihuana hidden in furniture. The detention was the result of a joint operation by the Civil Guard and the Tax Office, and was the result of a find by a specially trained drug dog, which started barking at the vehicle. In the back officers found the van loaded with 13 pieces of furniture, and it became evident that the man was hiding some sort of narcotic within the load.

On inspection, the officers found 24 packets of marihuana hidden in six pieces of the furniture, with a combined weight of 23 kilos. The driver was detained for the presumed crime against public health and the following morning was placed before judicial disposition. According to the Civil Guard included in this operation, the amount impounded would have created around 68,000 individual doses of the drug.

Arrests already made on new most wanted list One of the ten most wanted fugitives thought to be on the run in Spain whose photos appeared in the latest Crimestoppers campaign just last week has been arrested in Fuengirola. Suspected paedophile Matthew Sammon, 45, was wanted by the British authorities on suspicion of taking and processing indecent photographs of children. His arrest came just hours after the multi-agency campaign was launched last Thursday in Torremolinos. Following a tip off from a member of the public, who called both Crimestoppers and the Spanish authorities, Sammon, who is from London, was arrested by the Spanish National Police at a fairground site in Fuengirola at around 8pm where he had been living in a camper van, the National Crime Agency has reported. Steve Reynolds, Head of International Operations for the NCA, said: “We asked the public to help us find our most wanted fugitives and this early result the same day we launched our campaign shows the system works. Lord Ashcroft KCMG, Founder & Chair of Crimestoppers, commented: “To have seen an arrest made less than 24 hours of the latest Captura appeal simply reinforces what we've said all along - Spain is not the safe haven fugitives think it is.” Officers from the National Police have impounded numerous images and videos showing child abuse and
pornography, inside the motor-home belonging to the British fugitive. Sammon was initially arrested on the European Detain and Extradite Warrant dictated by the authorities in the UK in relation to the crime of child pornography in his country of origin. Now he faces charges here in Spain after the authorities have found his collection of child porn on his laptop computer.
Police Station. The 33 year old, who was not included in the most recent Top Ten, but was already on the list from a previous campaign, is of Bangladeshi nationality, and was condemned in his absence in March 2010 after fleeing from a 14 year prison sentence for physical and sexual aggression including rape. He was wanted on a European
Extradition proceedings are now under way and Sammon was due to appear at the Spanish National Court in Madrid on Friday. Sammon is the 77th fugitive to be arrested out of 96 publicised through Operation Captura Meanwhile, in Tenerife another of the most wanted fugitives in the UK has also been arrested, he is the second British fugitive to be captured in five days. Mohammed Alam was arrested in Arona, in the south of Tenerife Island, according by the Canaries Police Head
Detention and Extradite Warrant issued by the United Kingdom. He was reported to be living in Tenerife in May this year, and after five months of investigations was finally detected in Arona and was immediately detained. Alam disguised his face, lived under a false identity, constantly changed his residence and his work – but was spotted despite his best efforts. The prisoner has been put at the disposition of the National Court, which will start extradition procedures.

Global warming will Political protest warning over turn Southern Spain government agreement into a desert Southern Spain will turn into a desert by the end of the century if global warming is not dealt with, a new study suggests. The study used historical data and computer models to predict the likely impact of climate change in the Mediterranean. It based its research on the targets for limiting global warming that were agreed to by 195 countries during the Paris summit last year. “The Paris Agreement says it’s necessary to limit global warming to 2
degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), if possible 1.5 degrees,” said Joel Guiot, a researcher at the National Centre of Scientific Research in France who cowrote the study. “That doesn’t seem much to people, but we wanted to see what the difference
would be on a sensitive region like the Mediterranean.” The study suggest that even if global warming is limited to 2 degrees, deserts would expand in Spain, North Africa and the Near East, while vegetation in the Mediterranean would undergo a severe change from the coasts to the mountains. Prolonged periods of drought caused by climate change would also spark mass migration of peoples. The study did not factor in human activity in the Mediterranean, including
intensive agriculture and tree clearance. “If anything, human action will exacerbate what the study projects, and it could turn out to be too optimistic,” Guiot said. The Paris climate agreement will come into force next week.
Spain will experience “a cycle of protests” due to the “social discontent” that will result from the next Popular Party (PP) administration, a leftist leader was warned King Felipe VI. Alberto Garzón, head of the United Left (IU) – (above) a coalition that includes the Spanish Communist Party and green groups – also informed the monarch that IU will actively participate in these protests. Leftist forces have called for a march against “the illegitimate government” and the “coup d’état” allegedly about to be perpetrated in Spain. They are referring to the fact that the second most-voted force at the last general election, the Socialist Party (PSOE), has decided to allow acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to form a government after a stalemate that has lasted nearly a year. By deciding to abstain at an upcoming vote to choose the nation’s new prime minister, the PSOE will let Rajoy’s PP
govern from a minority position. The PP won the most votes at the original election of 20th December, then again at the repeat election of 26th June. But the conservatives fell short of a congressional majority both times, and failed to secure enough support from other parties to form a government. For nearly a year the PSOE refused to support Rajoy despite mounting pressure to do so for the sake of the country. Attempts at building an alternative leftist governing coalition failed, due mostly to insurmountable differences between the PSOE and the anti-austerity Podemos. The agonizing decision has split the Socialists, whose leader Pedro Sánchez resigned in early October over the issue. The new interim leadership wants all 85 Socialist deputies to abstain at the upcoming investiture vote, while some high-ranking officials are suggesting that only 11 should do so – those arithmetically necessary to let Rajoy win the investiture vote. If the PSOE does not abstain – which is now looking like a very remote possibility indeed – Spain will be pushed into a record third election sometime in December, with polls forecasting low turnout and a new PP victory. However, leftist groups are blaming the Socialist Party for “betraying its own voters.” IU leader Garzón has said that the PP will introduce new social cuts to meet Brussels’ demands, and warned that as a result there will be a radicalisation within Spanish society.
In a press conference following his meeting with the king – part of a round of talks that Felipe VI is holding with all political leaders ahead of the investiture vote – the 31-year-old sought to blame the PSOE for these future events, and said that “the citizen Felipe VI was calm in the knowledge that there is going to be an investiture.” Garzón also reiterated that IU will join a protest march against “the illegitimate government by an illegitimate regime,” as the hypothetical PP administration is being described by the march organiser, a group called Coordinadora 25-S.
Deadlock ends But other political leaders who met with the king expressed a desire to get a new government up and running after nearly a year of deadlock. “This will not be a difficult term, but rather one of opportunity,” said Ana María Oramas, the deputy for the Canaries Coalition, alluding to the fact that the minority government will have to seek bill-by-bill support to get legislation passed. Meanwhile, Rajoy made a statement of his own to praise the PSOE’s decision to support him, taken on Sunday at a special meeting of the Socialist Federal Committee. “I have read the [PSOE’s] resolution and there are good things in there that we can discuss in future,” he said. “If the political will is there, Spain could have a great future ahead of it.”

Protests over LOMCE Almost 250 students, teachers and parents came out in protest on 27th October against the education law ‘Lomce’ in Torrevieja. The Lomce or Ley Orgánica de la Manipulación y el Control Estudiantil’ was introduced in 2013 by Mariano Rajoy’s PP government. The strike by students affected more than 90% of the educational institutions in the province. In particular it was the older students of secondary schools, including those studying for the bachillerato, who stayed away from their studies and whose classrooms were empty. The protesting students and teachers gathered together in the Plaza de la Constitución along with representatives from different political parties. The Torrevieja protest was the largest in the Vega Baja and was a significant indication of dissatisfaction at the imposition of this new law. The students were protesting that the new law, in their view, and that their future is not for sale and must be defended. Particularly controversial and a key feature of the protests was the final exam at the end of secondary school. Students would have to sit two ‘révalidas’ at the end of their secondary school course. One when they are 15 or 16 years old and the second at ages 17 or 18. Students not passing the first exam would not be allowed to continue with their studies at school. A move that many students feel will be detrimental to them. It does look as though the protests might be having the desired effect as Mariano Rajoy also conceded on Thursday that their new government would delay
the full roll out of the new exam system which is causing so much controversy.
What is it? The law includes the introduction of more external exams and takes some control away from the regional governments. The exams are intended to increase accountability and be held at regular intervals. Students not attaining the required standards will be kept back a year. With the increase in external examinations will come additional money to those schools which do well. There will be an increase in comparison between schools, something which is not currently usual practice in state education in Spain. Justification for the new law is the need to address the high drop-out rate in the final years of schooling here and the poor performance of Spain in international comparison tables.
Controversial Those against the law argue that as intake
varies significantly across schools this will make it more difficult for schools with a challenging catchment to succeed. A factor that has caused difficulties in the UK in terms of the inspection regime and teacher recruitment. Schools that have a more academic intake of students have better results and become more attractive to those who can afford housing in that area. This approach has not been show to improve standards generally across schools in the UK. It also makes it less attractive for schools to admit pupils with special needs as they can depress schools’ results. Opponents argue that rather than increasing the number of examinations, it would be more beneficial to address issues of teacher quality and the content of the curriculum. They argue that rather than reducing inequalities the law will make differences in academic ability even more pronounced and condemn many students to failure.
Impact in primary schools Although it was primarily secondary school students protesting on this occasion, there are also changes to primary schools. Core subjects are being given more time in the curriculum and new assessments are being introduced in primary 3 (8 year olds). There will also be new tests in primary 6 which is the year before children leave to go to their secondary school. There is great opposition to the LOMCE across the country and Rajoy’s indication that he is prepared to talk about it will be welcomed in many quarters.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The Euro remained little changed from the end of last week as currency markets consolidated their position ahead of the US presidential election on the 8th November. There seems little chance of any change in stance from the Central Banks prior to this date. Market volatility was much reduced this week from previous recent levels. The single currency has been under pressure recently as investors appear to have come to the conclusion European Central Bank President Mario Draghi will extend monetary stimulus in December, just as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates. The ECB continue to ‘kick the can’ further down the road as any immediate tapering of its QE program is thought to be very unlikely. The Euro has, however, maintained strength against continued to dominate the Pound. Comments from British Chancellor Philip Hammond on the potential for further GBP monetary stimulus providing no respite for sterling. The UK Chancellor said that he was willing to authorise further quantitative easing from the Bank of England (BoE) should they feel it was necessary. The pound did manage to gain territory versus the Euro on Thursday morning following stronger than forecast UK GDP data. This bounce, however, was short lived as the pound returned to previous levels within a few hours of the release. UK GDP was estimated to have
increased by 0.5% in Quarter 3 (July to Sept) 2016 compared with growth of 0.7% in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2016. GDP was 2.3% higher in Quarter 3 2016 compared with the same quarter a year ago. These figures were above the market expectations and originally gave a boost to the ‘under-fire’ pound. This is the first release of GDP covering a full quarter of data following the EU referendum. The pattern of growth continues to be broadly unaffected following the EU referendum with a strong performance in the services industries offsetting falls in other industrial groups. We are a week away from the Federal Reserve’s November policy meeting, but it appears very unlikely we’ll see any significant change in Central Bank monetary policy. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, with US Presidential elections less than a week later (Fed meets on November 2; US elections on November 8), policymakers will not wish to spook the markets and risk increased volatility. Secondly, the Fed rarely acts without ‘justification’ and the next summary of economic projections will not be released in December. According to the latest IFO report, German business sentiment rose to the highest level in more than two years in October, signalling renewed growth momentum in Europe’s largest economy.
Oldest woman in Spain turns115 Spain’s oldest woman and the second-oldest in Europe turned 115 on Saturday (29th October), but ‘does not look it, according to staff at the Barcelona nursing home where she lives. Ana Vela Rubio is not up to having a party, but will probably see her only surviving daughter, who is 89 and lives nearby, albeit her own health is somewhat precarious. Normally, Ana's daughter would give a statement to the press every year on her mum's birthday, but this year she does not feel up to it. Ana herself has never, not since she was born in 1901, been ill – not even the common cold, says David González, director of the La Verneda home for the elderly in Barcelona. A seamstress who left school at around the age of 11, Ana Vela was born in Puente Genil, Córdoba province and moved to Catalunya in the 1940s. Here, she started working as a seamstress in a tuberculosis hospital in Terrassa. Aged 104, she started going to the La Vereda home on a day-centre basis, but still lived in her own home. She was 109 when she moved into the nursing home, which said it would celebrate her most recent milestone with a ‘close-knit’ and ‘private’ ceremony among staff, but says Ana Vela can no longer walk and has lost her cognitive faculties but is not bedridden. González says Ana is 'very special' to the centre's staff, although many other residents are not far behind her in terms of age. The La Vereda home has four other residents aged 100, 102, 103 and 105, and at least another 40 who are in their 90s. “She doesn't look 115. We have residents a lot
younger who look older than Ana does,” González reveals. “She's always been a super-friendly, superaffectionate and very optimistic person – perhaps that's the secret to her long life. “And she's very physically strong, which has helped her get through the deaths of three of her four children, and of her brothers and sisters – the last of whom died this year.” Ana Vela Rubio is the oldest lady in Spain – where life expectancy is the fourth-highest in the world and an aboveaverage number of residents are aged over 100, with a few aged over 110 – but she is only the second-oldest in Europe at the moment. This honour goes to Emma Morano, from Italy, who is now 116. Both Ana and Emma are among the five oldest people in the world, according to the Gerontology Investigation Group (GIG). Recently, scientists placed the natural limit of human life at 125 years, but nobody is thought to have lived that long and the world record until now has been Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment, who died aged 122. But Mbah Gotho from Indonesia has official documentation to show he was born on 31st December, 1870, meaning if he lives until New Year's Eve, he will be 146 years old. His papers need to be independently verified to award him the title of longest-ever living human, however – others who have claimed to be older, James Olofintuyi, 171, from Nigeria and Dhaqabo Ebba from Ethiopia, 163, were unable to prove their age officially so cannot be considered as worldrecord holders.

Gastro Vega Baja makes its debut This was the first time this event has been held and the beautiful October day and excellent venue were the perfect backdrop. Set in Bahía Costa between La Mata and Torrevieja, the whole of this large venue was taken up by a range of food outlets and artistic displays. The purpose behind it? To provide a platform demonstrating the vast range of culinary and artistic talent in the Vega Baja region. Councillor Fanny Serrano, as councillor with responsibility for tourism, is keen to combine with other local towns to increase and extend the tourist offer here. The towns of Dolores, Almoradi, Guardamar, Rojales, Callosa de Segura, Orihuela and
stage each day. These were all free and included cooking workshops, wine workshops, cooking for children and even how to prepare a gin and tonic. The event is part of a new cooperative approach being taken by the Vega Baja town halls. They are aiming to not only build tourism on the basis of the beautiful Spanish weather but also on the range of other qualities that the area can boast. Food, culture, nature and water sports being just four of the attractions the group are wanting to promote. ‘We are hoping to run the event again next year,’ says Fanny. ‘Although it might be held in one of the other towns in future.’
Torrevieja were all represented. The idea was that the general public could come in, browse and for €3 buy themselves a portion of food from one of the eateries there. ‘Some of these restaurants are extremely popular, you have to book well in advance if you want to eat there,’ explained Councillor Serrano. ‘ Some have very specialist dishes. For example, the Sabor de Dolores offers ‘pelotas’ or traditional meatballs as one of its favourites. Bringing all these venues together means that people can try a range of menus all in one place.’ The event ran for three days on the 28th, 29th and 30th October and included timetabled events on its
Awareness of responsible tourism is growing. The Valencia Government is currently formulating new laws to govern tourism and to ensure that those involved in it are accountable for the environment and sustainability. Once the new laws have been through the consultation stages, it is expected that they will give greater power to town halls to ensure that private organisations take care to preserve the environment and run their businesses ethically. The Vega Baja is now seeing a combined approach from the different local councils. A move that must be to everyone’s benefit. Suzanne O’Connell

Mediterranean herb pots You can be self-sufficient in many herbs from just a few pots or a large trough conveniently placed in a sunny spot near your kitchen door. Although here in Spain make sure they are not in direct
sunlight all day long or they will scorch. As well as providing sprigs for the kitchen, they produce a profusion of small flowers which bees and butterflies love. What you need • Plants: sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram or oregano and winter savory all like the same growing conditions • Container: at least 20cm (8in) deep, and with plenty of drainage holes in the base • Multi-purpose compost • Drainage material: such as gravel, broken-up polystyrene or small bits of terracotta pot Planting 1. Place the container in a sunny, sheltered spot and put at least a 2.5cm (1in) layer of drainage material in the bottom – this helps ensure that the roots of the plants are not sat in waterlogged compost.
2. Fill the container part way up with compost, and put in the plants so the top of their roots are about 2.5cm (1in) below the top of the container; plants should be about 15-20cm (6-8in) apart. 3. Fill in around the plants with compost, firm it gently, and water thoroughly. 4. It is not essential, but mulching the surface with a material such as gravel or bark will help keep in moisture and keeps the foliage clean; it looks attractive, too. Growing Water the plants when the compost dries out, but don’t overdo it. They grow naturally in hot, dry places, and don’t like to be waterlogged. After a couple of months, start giving them a general-purpose liquid feed every two or three weeks. Pest problems are rare. The herbs’ tough aromatic foliage, which we value for its pungent flavour, usually puts off slugs and leaf-eating insects. Harvesting Harvest young fresh sprigs as you need them, starting as soon as the plants are large enough and carrying on through autumn. The plants are
CostaBlancaPeople 1st - 7th November 2016
perennial, and should survive winter to produce further harvests next spring.
Added extras Other perennial herbs such as chives and mint also grow well in containers, but prefer more luxurious conditions – add garden compost or slow-release fertiliser to the compost and water them more frequently. Mint needs its own separate pot, otherwise its roots will quickly spread to among those of other plants. Tall, vigorous herbs such as lovage, fennel and sorrel flourish only in large, deep containers: keep clipping off flower spikes to stop the plants getting too tall and to encourage fresh young growth.

Flu jabs available The flu vaccine will be given to 21,500 people in Torrevieja health centres. The department of health in the area has begun to administer the vaccines and altogether there will be 29,500 doses given out to the towns of Guardamar, Orihuela costa, San Miguel, Pilar de la Horadada, Rojales, San Fulgencio, Benijofar and Los Montesinos. The vaccine is being
administered in all the health centres of the region. In addition vaccinations are available for those who are patients in homes for the elderly. The vaccine needs to be given every year as the composition of the doses varies. The vaccine given in 2015 does not necessarily guarantee immunity in 2016. Flu can be dangerous to people in high risk groups who
might also suffer from complications. Amongst targeted groups include those over 60 years old or who are younger but already have a serious illness. In particularly both older and younger people who suffer from chronic cardiorespiratory problems are at high risk. People who are greatly over weight are also more at risk than others.

Orihuela teen arrested for attempted sexual assaults The National Police have arrested a 16 year old Spanish boy, legally a minor, who has had the San Pedro neighbourhood of Orihuela living in fear for the last few weeks. The boy is believed to be responsible for several attempted sexual assaults, which had been reported in the Ronda Santo Domingo area. Although the boy was arrested for stealing a mobile phone, once he was in police custody it became known that he was the youth who had been reported for an attempted sexual assault that had happened inside a building.

Be careful what you wish for Christmas!!! In one of my other lives I owned a gym - so I got many insights into the varying aspects of gym membership. For the purpose of this exercise, we shall deal with the effect that a gift membership may have on an unsuspecting, innocent husband. This week, for the benefit of devoted, caring wives, I shall explain the possible consequences of buying him that gym membership for Christmas! Let’s call this recently converted fitness fanatic, ‘John’. John has talked about getting back in shape for a long time. Really, he feels he let himself go after his youngest son was born nine years ago and he quit playing football for Finea. Year by year, John has continued to lose ground at the rate of a hole a year on the belt of his trousers. His darling wife looks on sadly, as he pulls in his tummy, whilst regaling the young lads at the Christmas party, about his feats on the squash court and the rugby field. The closer it gets to closing time, the more adamant John becomes, that he could give any of them a run for their money if only he got back in shape! On Christmas morning, underneath the tree, John finds a membership voucher for the best gym in town – from his darling wife. Over the next week, John flexes his muscles and his mouth, in the pub, as he explains to his pals what he is about to become and on 2nd January, he presents himself, for the first time ever, to his new gym instructor. The wife is delighted with his enthusiasm and she looks forward to soon having back that old lean, mean machine of a man. John filled out the form and was told that his instructor would be along shortly to give him his individual fitness programme. He is not prepared for what appears in front of him! She is a 26 years old gym and aerobics teacher, who models gymwear for Elverys. John’s breathing gives a bit of bother for a few seconds, but he makes a mental
note to thank his loving wife again for her thoughtfulness. His instructors real name is Veronica, ‘but everybody calls me Britney’, she beams at John, as she purrs the words through gleaming white teeth. “Whoo hoo”, thinks our man “isn’t that just the loveliest creature God ever put on this earth!” Britney takes his pulse and remarks that it is a bit fast, but John knows that if it wasn’t for her holding his hand and her lycra aerobic outfit, his pulse would be ok. She encourages him through a few sit-ups as his gut aches from holding in his belly. Next she demonstrates all the functions of the multi-gym, as John stands there … is it awe you call it, when eyes are out on sticks and mouth is open in wonderment at all those moving parts? He has another week off work and he books a session with Britney for every day. This was going to be some week! WEDNESDAY: John is fairly stiff, but explains to wife that this just shows how good Britney is. Thanks wife profusely again for this wonderful present. Britney makes him to lie on a bench and push a heavy iron bar into the air – then she puts weights on it. Afterwards the legs are a bit wobbly on the treadmill, but Britney’s smile and soft encouraging words keep him going. He feels great. What a wonderful new life! THURSDAY: The kids ask their Mother; “Why is daddy walking like that?” John heads for gym. Driving is ok if he didn’t have to steer or change gears or stop. He parks, cross-ways in a disabled parking place and feels entitled to. Britney is a little impatient – telling John that his screams are bothering other members. She is much too perky for his mood and he now notices that what he mistook for a sexy voice is more akin a nasal whine. He is directed towards the ‘climber’. “Why the Jazus would anyone want to invent a machine like that, when there are elevators everywhere?”
he snaps at Britney. She says it will help him to enjoy life when he gets in shape and a whole lot of other bullshit too!! FRIDAY: The only way John can shave is by placing the electric razor on the bed and moving his face up and down. He comes down the stairs, step by step, on his backside. Mammy warns the children not to laugh. Britney is waiting for John. Her full lips have cruelly thinned and the smile looks like a snarl in his state of mind. He explains he couldn’t help being an hour late, on account of tying his shoes. John is helped into the rowing machine, where he hallucinates that he is sinking. The wife has to come and get him. SATURDAY: John hates Britney more than any other human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. He cannot move without unbearable pain. The treadmill flung him off and he landed on Britney and it wasn’t at all as he had fantasized last Tuesday. SUNDAY: Britney left a message, in her nasal, grating, infuriating voice, wondering why John hadn’t turned up. He tried to smash the machine, but couldn’t lift it. Wife and children went to Granny’s. TV remote control out of reach, so he finishes up watching ten hours of ‘The God Channel’. Thanks God the week is over and he won’t see Britney (the bitch!) next week. John prays that next year his wife (the bitch!) will buy him something like a shovel, or a chainsaw, or a welder, or anything useful!
The best thing to get out of exercise is rest.

Spanish companies at large in the UK ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com
With the announcement of the third runway approval for Heathrow it might have come as a surprise that the organisation who will be responsible for this are Ferrovial. Ferrovial is more usually associated with the rail network in Spain than airports in the UK. However, if you look at their website the huge portfolio of this organisation becomes evident. The company altogether has four airports in the UK; Heathrow, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Southampton. ‘We handle flights from 125 airlines every year, carrying close to 89 million passengers.’ It states on their website. Over the years the company has taken over the British firms Amey and Enterprise and now offers a number of services to the public sector. Their involvement extends to Milton Keynes Waste Recovery Park and Severn Trent Water. They are also responsible for the M4-M6 Toll Road, the M3 Toll Road and installations at Farringdon Station in London. It’s not only Ferrovial that represent Spanish companies’ influence in the UK. It has recently been announced that Scottish Power, owned by Iberdrola, has awarded a €165 million contract to a shipyard in Spain to build steel parts for wind farms. The award has caused controversy as a British
company was anticipating securing the deal. Spanish giants with a presence in the UK are quite common. Iberdrola is building new infrastructure there and is now the UK’s fourth largest energy provider as Scottish Power. In January this year Bombardier, a Spanish company, was awarded a £490m contract to build trains for UK railways. Telefónica took over O2 in 2005. It is claimed to be the second largest mobile telecommunications provider in the UK although there are reports that Telefónica is now intending to sell the business. Other Spanish interests include: • Banco Santander – 23% of its profits come from Britain • IAG – International Airlines Group owns British Airways, Iberia, Vueling and Aer Lingus • FCC – this company deal in the treatment and elimination of urban waste • Aena – owns half of Luton airport • Inditex – more than 100 stores across the UK including Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear and Bershka The heavy investment that each of these firms has in the UK perhaps explains why there was some reported indignation that Theresa May did not stop to meet them in her whistle top visit to Spain. As the pound has fallen in value so the investments of these companies must suddenly look much less attractive. Suzanne O’Connell

VISIT TO CRACOW with Vivalia Travel Cracow is the second largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland. Situated on the Vistula River in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates back to the 7th century.
C
racow is the second largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland. Situated on the Vistula River in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates back to the 7th century. Cracow, the unofficial cultural capital of Poland, was named the official European Capital of Culture for the year 2000 by the European Union. It is a major attraction for both local and international tourists, attracting seven million visitors a year. Major landmarks include the Main Market Square with St. Mary's Basilica and the Sukiennice Cloth Hall, the Wawel Castle, the National Art Museum, the Zygmunt Bell at the Wawel Cathedral, and the medieval St Florian's Gate with the Barbican along the Royal Coronation Route. Kraków has 28 museums and public art galleries. Among them are the main branch of Poland's National Museum and the Czartoryski Museum, the latter featuring works by Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt. It is a city with a colourful past. It has charm, magic and an amazing story to tell. That’s why so many foreign tourists are lured to visit the most beautiful landmarks in Cracow. And guess what, the list of interesting sites to see is unimaginably long so you should plan your stay for more than a week. There are several areas in Cracow worth visiting. The Old Town is only one of them and as we all know it’s a really popular tourist destination both in summer and winter. There is no
such a person who didn’t stroll around the Rynek because it’s usually the starting point of each trip. On the Main Market Square tourists can enjoy a nice atmosphere and sit in oldfashioned restaurants and cafes. It can be an ideal form of aftersightseeing rest accompanied by street music and delicious cracovian food. The next point on holiday makers’ map is Kazimierz with Jewish quarter. In the past it was a
separate town with its own rights. Founded by the King Kazimierz it was a centre of Jewish culture. There is the Jewish Festival organized every year and local authorities care about renovation of old-style tenements. So if we’ve already mentioned the Jews we should also recommend you a trip to Aushwitz and Birkenau. Unfortunately, it symbolizes tragic series of the Nazists terrors but it’s an important historic place which depicts human cruelty towards the Jews, Gypsies and Poles. There is also one more part of the city of Cracow which shouldn’t be missed. It’s the Wawel Hill together with the Royal Castle
and the Cathedral. This place is thought to be a heart and a patriotic symbol of the nation. There are many important people burried here together with worthy kings, princes and virtuous rulers. For those who prefer rather different type of holidays spent in clubs, discos and pubs we recommend a great deal of well known entertainment cetres. Most of the best stylish and frequently attended ones are located in the Old Town and in the Kazimierz District. According to statistics, in 2009 Cracow was visited by 7.3 million tourists including 2.1 million foreign travelers (over 30 percent of their grand total). The visitors spent over two-and-a-half billion in the city (without travel costs and pre-booked accommodations). Most foreign tourists came from Great Britain (over 25 percent ), with German, French, Italian and American visitors closely following. The Cracow tourguide from Lesser Poland Visitors Bureau indicated that not all statistics are recorded due to considerable number of those who come, staying in readily available private rooms paid by cash, especially from Eastern Europe. The main reasons for visiting the city are: its historical monuments, recreation as well as relatives and friends (in the third place), religion and business (next). There are 120 quality hotels in Cracow (usually about half full) offering 15,485 overnight accommodations.

REINCARNATION Rebirth Reincarnation is such an intriguing subject and one I'm asked about a lot in my line of work! It's something that is said to be one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Reincarnation is a belief by many that the soul is reborn into a new life. The name reincarnation is taken from a Latin word meaning 'Entering the flesh again'. I believe, that if we haven't learned lessons in a previous life, then those lessons have a karmic affect and are 'carried forward' to a more recent life where they are repeated until we deal with them in the right way. This is known as 'The Law of Karma' or of 'Cause and Sequence'. Once learned, these deeds will be deleted from our soul's record. In other words, 'What we reap, we sow' ‐ whether it is in this lifetime, or in a future lifetime. If someone says that you are an 'old soul', they mean that you have 'been here before' ‐ in a different era, a different body, but retaining the same soul which is reborn again. The Akashic Records For those of you who are learning about spiritual practices you may have heard of a dimension of consciousness called the Akashic Records, or the Halls of Knowledge. There is a book within the Akashic Records which contains the history or blue print of everyone's soul, past or present. Past life regression To understand why the same problems keep
popping up in your life, it is thought that discovering and releasing the root cause can help to break the pattern for good. Some believe that a past life regression session may help you to find out what choices you made in the past, to give you insight into the patterns you encounter today. Ancient Philosophers Many religions throughout history believed in reincarnation albeit each one having their own 'take' on it and it's also believed in our modern day by New Age Spiritualists. Many scientists and well known figures from around the world have explained their beliefs about reincarnation. For example, it was the keynote of Plato's philosophy. He said "Soul is older than body. They are continually born over again into this life". When Alexander the Great came into contact with Hindu philosophers he accepted the idea of the pre‐existence of the human soul, and in the bible, the Jews believed that John the Baptist was the second Elijah. Famous Poetry If you read the words of poets, whether ancient or modern, they too, were either intrigued or believed in the subject of reincarnation. William Wordsworth wrote about it in his aptly titled poem 'Intimations of Immortality'. "The soul that rises with us, our life's star, hath had elsewhere its setting and cometh from afar".
Walt Whitman wrote in his 'Leaves of Grass' ‐ "As to you, Life, I reckon you are the leavings of many deaths, No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before". John Lawson Stoddard wrote a lengthy poem about reincarnation ‐ here is a short version. "I know not how, I know not where, but from my own heart's mystic lore I feel I have breathed this air, and walked this earth before. And that in this, its latest form my old‐time spirit once more strives, as it has fought through many a storm in past, forgotten lives". True life stories One of the most intriguing and best known recent stories of reincarnation was studied by Dr. Tucker from the University of Virginia School of medicine. His main research was that of children who claimed to remember previous lives. In 2002 he was told about a 4 year old,
James Leininger who believed he was once a World War 2 pilot who'd been shot down over Iwo Jima. James's parents recounted the first time they were aware of his memories. He was 2 years old at the time and woke up from a nightmare shouting "Airplane crash! Plane on fire! Little man can't get out". He knew succinct information about WW2 aircraft that would be impossible for a toddler to know or understand. When his mother referred to an object on the bottom of a toy plane as a bomb, James corrected her by saying it was a drop tank. Another incident recounted by his parents was when they were all watching a History Channel documentary and the narrator called a Japanese plane a 'Zero'. James insisted that it was a Tony. The little boy was correct on both counts.

Creepy clowns New twist to Bison slaughter investigation spread to Spain
‘Killer Clowns’ have been spotted in Spain for the first time, causing widespread public alarm as the unsettling craze crosses borders relentlessly. Starting in the USA, the 'trend' for individuals to dress as clowns and frighten members of the public with their unnerving behaviour recently reached the UK, and has now apparently spread to Paterna, near Valencia. ‘Numerous’ calls were made to police over the weekend about a group of five or six clowns hanging around the Alborgí park in the town, says the council, who released a photograph of the masked offenders. Police in the town have issued guidelines for members of the public who come into contact with the ‘Creepy Clowns’, advising them to stay calm, not to confront them or enter into any kind of interaction – either physical or verbal – but to call the police straight away. Officers stress they do not need anyone to try to explain themselves
and nobody should fear being laughed at or disbelieved, because authorities are fully aware of the craze. They should, however, describe the exact location, but should be careful of internet and WhatsApp hoaxes concerning sightings or planned appearances. Witnesses in the UK described clowns trying to get into their cars, following them to pubs, threatening to cut their throats, hanging around car parks with hammers and machetes to scare members of the public, peering at them through car, restaurant and house windows at night, chasing people down the street, preying on schools and even trying to lure children into woods. They even operate in groups to terrify people even more. The ‘Creepy Clown’ craze was initially blamed on a recent remake of the Stephen King film It, which centred on a homicidal clown figure, but producers New Line Cinema have hotly denied this.
An investigation into the death of two bison at a nature preserve in the Valencia region has taken a new turn. After initially investigating whether the herd had been deliberately poisoned by unknown attackers who also cut off the animals’ heads, Spanish prosecutors have now charged the preserve director with animal abuse on suspicion that the bison starved to death. Valdeserrillas preserve director Carlos Álamo walked into court recently to provide a statement as a suspect in the case. Veterinary reports released last week state that the animals died from lack of food and were later decapitated. The slaughtered animals were part of a herd of European bison that lived inside the animal sanctuary in Benagéber, Valencia. In mid-September, the herd leader, an 800-kilo alpha male named Sauron, was found dead on the
premises. Its head was missing. A second decapitated bison was located a week later. Two more animals reported missing were found alive. Investigators found a ball that may have contained poison, which was said to be a possible explanation for why the rest of the herd was suffering from diarrhea. However, authorities now suspect Álamo himself or an accomplice may have planted the ball of poison and beheaded the animals in order to simulate an attack by hunters seeking trophies. The government delegate in the Valencia region, Juan Carlos Moragues, said that the bison “did not have enough food” and that they were beheaded after death. One of the decapitations was a botched axe job “that anybody could have done,” suggesting that the head
Murcia teenagers arrested for animal torture video A group of young teenagers have been arrested for torturing animals and then sharing the horrific photos on Whatsapp. The group also planned to snatch and torture a random girl on Halloween. Five minors have been detained for mutilating and killing pigs and goats in Murcia. They put a number of the videos
on Whatsapp including one of a goat being attacked and then killed in the street. The attacks are believed to have taken place on private estates near to Molina de Segura thought to be owned by the youngsters’ parents. The police have also said that they were planning to kidnap a girl and give her ‘a beating’ whilst wearing Scream masks.
was not taken away for purposes of mounting and displaying, as was initially suspected. The second animal’s head simply decomposed on its own, the vet report states. Sources at the Valencia government confirmed that the first line of investigation, regarding the possibility of poison, is still open despite the new report. The Valdeserrillas preserve, which spans 365 hectares, is located on public land owned by the Valencia government and run by a private company on a 20-year lease. It serves as a sanctuary for bison and other species including deer, mouflon and birds of prey, and offers tourists photo safaris. The herd of Bison Bonasus, considered an endangered species, arrived in Spain between June 2015 and May 2016 after two years’ worth of paperwork with the European Union.
Spain has best business schools Business schools in Spain have been named best in the world for entrepreneurs and the study also found Spanish students to be the most driven. Research undertaken by the Financial Times found that Spain had the highest proportion of students who set up their own company following graduation. With 26 percent of its business school students creating their own company, the country surpassed the US and UK, with 19 percent and 24 percent respectively. Spain’s students were also found to be the most driven, receiving 9.1 out of 10 in the ‘motivation’ category.

Five common mistakes buyers make Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada. When searching for your dream home, there are a few common mistakes that, you the buyer, can make which can ultimately jeopardise losing out on the purchase of your future home in Spain. Here are 5 errors that are easily avoidable: 1. “We don’t have to decide right now. If it’s meant to be, it’ll still be waiting for us.” Thinking this is a big mistake, and whilst there are a good selection of homes to choose from, there are also a lot of serious buyers and investors out there, that are also looking at the same properties as you. So by the time you’ve made your decision, it could be too late! Disappointment, my house hunting friends, is a feeling that could be completely avoided. If it feels right, why wait? 2. Aesthetics – Do you care too much for curb appeal? Hey, everyone would like a home that screams “look at me,” but not everyone has the funds or imagination to be able to transform a bland entrance into Buckingham Palace! Don’t drive past with your foot to the floor. This could be the “hidden gem” you’ve been looking for. Go on, stop the car and get out. Go inside and have a look. There are a lot of properties that are very deceiving from the outside, and need to be viewed from the inside, to appreciate everything it has to offer. Every house has a heart, you just have to look a little harder to find it sometimes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 3. Don’t look at so many houses! Years ago, well not that many actually, buyers used to look at three or four homes, then decide which one to buy. And buy they did. Now there are some buyers that view far too many homes, and have even admitted to have seen between 40 and 60 houses.
In the end, they didn’t buy anything, because they were just too confused. I ask them, how can they remember what they’ve seen? Always the same reply… They shrug their shoulders. The more you look at, the more confusing it becomes. You need to make sure you’ve relayed to your Real Estate Agent, exactly what you’re looking for, and let them narrow your search down for you. Looking at four or more, you’ll never be sure. Look at three or less, you’ll find happiness. 4. It’s not all about the cash. Yes cash talks, but even if you need a loan, you could still negotiate a good deal. As long as you’re a good candidate for a mortgage, or have even been pre-approved, you can make an offer and complete in a few months. It may suit a seller better anyway, as they may need extra time to arrange the move while the bank is sorting out your funds. So don’t let it stop you putting your offer forward. 5. How to make an offer. Okay, so if you’re a British buyer, and the exchange rate may not be all that you were hoping for, but putting in an offer needn’t be an embarrassing time, so don’t feel ashamed if your offer is a little lower than you’d have liked. This is the best time to use your Real Estate Agent, and let them do the negotiations for you. You, as a buyer, need to be open, and as up front as possible with your Agent when making your offer, so they will be able to make a good case for you. You need to remember, the only person stopping you from making your dreams a reality is you! Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!

Costa Almeria tourism to get a boost from Game of Thrones filming Spain is once more in the grip of Game of Thrones fever, with thousands of potential extras queuing up in Girona this month for the chance to be part of George RR Martin's epic fantasy world as filming for season six takes place in Spain. The filming will move from Girona to Navarra and then on to the seaside location of PeĂąiscola during September. In October, the film crews will head over to the stunning Costa Almeria region, where work is already underway preparing scenery in areas such as El Chorrilo de Sierra Alhamilla (Pechina), where the construction of a settlement featuring huts around a church is rumoured to be underway. The filming of season five, which set ratings records when shown on Sky Atlantic earlier this year, attracting a 6.7 percent share of the UK audience, has had a marked impact on tourism in areas where it was filmed. These include the Spanish city of Seville and nearby Osuna. Companies have sprung up offering tours of filming
locations and interest in the area has attracted fans from far beyond the local region. With filming for season six well underway, the impact on Costa Almeria filming locations is hotly anticipated. Martin Dell, Director of Spanish property portal Kyero.com, which lists more than 200,000 homes from 3,000 estate agents, including a range of holiday rentals in Costa Almeria, comments, "We've seen a huge boost in tourism as a result of the filming of Game of Thrones in other areas of Spain, as well as in its headquarters in Ireland. Fans love to be able to visit the areas that they've seen form part of the series and chosen locations definitely benefit. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see rental prices rising along the Costa Almeria once season six airs and it is subject to the Game of Thrones effect." According to Almeria City Council, the Carboneras municipal stadium will host the film crew and the 400 extras who will be used in filming on October 18 and 19 in the Paraje de Mesa Roldan in the Natural
Park of Cabo de Gata-Nijar. Other local sites tipped to be included in the popular series are the Rambla del Cautivo the Almeria Citadel and the Chorrillo de Pechina, where extras will include more than 100 Almeriaborn horses, as well as the hundreds of locals keen to be a part of the epic series. According to data from Kyero.com, average holiday rental prices in the Costa Almeria are currently â‚Ź643 per week, with apartments accounting for two thirds of all rentals. The most popular locations are Mojacar, Vera and Arboleas. The area is most popular with holidaymakers from the UK, France and Germany, though it also has double the usual proportion of visitors from Belgium and Sweden. It will be interesting to see just how the huge impact of Game of Thrones will affect these statistics over the coming year, as the excitement regarding the latest season builds.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE OUR Meet Tony...
Meet Lyn...
Lyn Dallow MANAGING DIRECTOR FOUNDER
What can I say other than “Property Is My Life!”
Beautiful Spanish homes with clear blue skies make for the perfect photo!
I bring more than 45 years of selling experience to our company and after achieving a very successful life in the United Kingdom, my husband Tony and I decided we needed to add more sunshine to our lives! After relocating our family to Spain in 1988, we decided to join our experience and knowledge together and launched Inmobiliaria. We were the very first Estate Agency to open an office in Ciudad Quesada and the first English Estate Agents within the Torrevieja area. Making use of my passion for Interior Design allows us to advise on the best staging techniques to help sell your home. So you see...living here for so long brings many benefits, not only local and general knowledge of our area, but a wealth of experience when dealing with possibly one of the biggest transactions of your life... PROPERTY PURCHASING & SELLING. *Lyn and Tony have two daughters...Rebecca works with them as a Sales Director at Inmobiliaria and Nichola owns the biggest Spa and Swimming Pool Superstore in Torrevieja.
When your hobby is your job, life is very satisfying! After being in the property industry for years in England, my wife Lyn and I decided to persue our dream of working in a warmer climate. Waking up to the sun and going to work certainly makes you appreciate every day. It was certainly tough being the first Estate Agents here, especially as Spain wasn’t in the EEC at that time, but through hard work and dedication in wanting to provide a top class sales service, we dug our heels in and opened our office doors in 1989. I provide all top quality photos on every home we have for sale, and we are delighted to offer virtual tours on our properties too, which is proving to be very popular with our buyers. Keeping up to date with the latest technology and incorporating it into our marketing skills, keeps us well above the rest. No-one has been here as long as we have...so why not take advantage of our expertise?

happen...you can too!
John Clifford REAL ESTATE SPECIALIST
I’d had enough of the ‘rat race’ lifestyle of living in England...I wanted that Spanish home I’d always dreamed of having. My friends had talked about it but hesitated, but why should I? So after finally plucking up the courage, my wife and I made the move to sunny Spain! Living here for the past 15 years and now having two children aged 13 and 5 that were born here, means I can offer the best advice for whatever lifestyle you’re looking for. I have 15 years experience in selling Spanish property and want to share that with my buyers and sellers, for whatever challenges they are facing. These are exciting times as the economy is definitely improving. If you’re a buyer...don’t wait and miss that illusive boat...prices are on the increase as demand is returning. If you’re a seller...don’t wait to list your home with us...we always require more homes to keep up with the demand of our buyers. I can’t wait to share with you my knowledge and expertise, so give me a call now to schedule an appointment. I can promise you I will always give the best advice for you to make a decision that’s perfect for you!

Rebecca Serwotka SALES DIRECTOR CO-FOUNDER
After being brought up in a household where the topic of conversation was constantly property, I think I was a little brainwashed and it was inevitable that I too, would be the top-selling agent of the Ciudad Quesada area. Learning to speak fluent Spanish was essential in being able to offer the best possible service our clients deserve. Whether you’re a buyer or seller, you certainly have questions that need to be answered and we are here to get that job done... effectively and efficiently. It is refreshing to see through the 28 years of living and working here that many people have decided on a career change later on in life, however when dealing with such a huge financial transaction, you need to be reassured that: a) the agent is not going anywhere and b) they have the many years of Spanish property knowledge, not only for the construction aspect, but the paperwork side too, which undoubtedly I have.

Spain’s jobless rate falls below 20 percent Spain’s official unemployment rate has fallen below 20 percent for the first time in six years. Figures from the National Statistics Institute (INE) for the third quarter put joblessness at 18.91 percent, bringing to an end the longest period in the last 40 years when more than one in five of the working population was idle. The fall in unemployment is due both to job creation as well as fewer people being laid off. Summer traditionally sees an increase in employment, with the tourist industry taking on large numbers of temporary workers. This year has been exceptionally healthy for the tourism sector, creating some 226,500 jobs in three months, putting the total number of people in work at some 18,520,000. The sectors most involved are hospitality, health and retail, which has been reflected in the numbers of men and women contributing to the Social Security scheme. Unemployment above 20 percent is not uncommon in Spain and reducing Spain’s unemployment levels has proved difficult. The high water mark was the first quarter of 2013, when the rate hit 26.94 percent, with some 6,278,000 out of work. The INE’s latest figures put the number of people without a job during the third quarter of this year at 4,320,000. During this period, some 27,300 people were laid off from their jobs. The private sector has driven employment, creating 217,700 jobs, with

CostaBlancaPeople November 1st - 7th 2016
the public sector contributing just 8,900 posts. The start of the school year has also provided new employment opportunities in education, as well as administrative activities and manufacturing. The INE’s data suggests that temporary and seasonal work, a hallmark of the Spanish job market, is growing even in sectors that were not as prone to it in the past. This is the case with education and manufacturing, where non-permanent jobs have been rising in recent years. Spain’s unemployment is so high partly because of particular local forces that have existed for decades. Unemployment above 20 percent is not uncommon in Spain. In fact, it has been at that level during three separate periods since Spain’s transition to democracy in the 1970s. And, ominously, from the previous unemployment rate peak in the 1990s, it took 14 years for it to decline to the wider European level.

Definitive house selling guide from local experts Inmobiliaria They say moving house is one of the most stressful things we do in our lives, and if you are buying or selling a house abroad the process can be even more daunting. However, Quesada’s pre-eminent estate agents, Inmobiliaria, have written a comprehensive guide to selling a house abroad to help people avoid the pitfalls and common mistakes. Written by Lyn Dallow and her daughter and business partner Rebecca Serwotka, the guide entitled Moving Forward, is based on the pairs’ 70-odd years of combined experience in the property market and covers the complete process of selling a house in Spain, or anywhere else abroad for that matter. The e-book contains 25 tips to ‘help you get the most value out of your home sale, and the purchase of another’ and even better it’s available for free. Lyn said: “We have wanted to write a guide for a few years, but with the business being so busy we never seemed to have the time. We get asked for tips and advice every day by people wanting to sell their house or buy another and this is the ideal way to pass on our experience. We hope by reading the guide we can take some of the avoidable stresses out of the sale process and make it as pleasant an experience as possible for people. “Often it is the little things that can make a huge difference when selling a property and that can mean the difference between securing the asking price - or losing thousands.”
Moving Forward covers: tips on how to stage and dress your property for sale, choosing an agent, sale price, reading the local property market, the psychology of selling a property, paperwork and hidden issues, how to make the sale a family adventure and how to make the process as enjoyable as possible.
Rebecca said: “Franklin D. Roosevelt once said ‘Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world’ and we want to help as many people as possible with that investment.” Inmobiliaria has been established in Quesada for 28 years and was the first expat estate agents to open in the town. Since then it has focused solely on property resale in the area, avoiding the temptation to diversify into new builds or rentals, establishing itself as the leading local expert for those wishing to buy or sell a property in the town. Having sold thousands of properties to very happy clients, many return to Inmobiliaria for their property needs knowing they get honest advice and an impeccable, professional service. ‘Moving Forward – 25 essential rules for buying and selling real estate without going crazy’ is available from Inmobiliaria for free. Simply download the Kindle App for free on to a phone, laptop, ipad or computer if you don’t have a Kindle reader. Then contact Inmobiliaria and they will send the link. Call in to the Inmobiliaria offices based in Quesada near the arches at Calle de los Arcos 1 or telephone 966 718 392 to get your free copy.

‘Guard bull’ finally thwarts thieves Owners of a scrap-yard which has suffered no less than seven burglaries have left a loose bull on the premises as a last resort – and say it seems to be working. Whilst a new roundabout was being built next to his scrap-yard, his premises was broken into seven times, mainly because the new infrastructure meant part of his land was compulsorily purchased, a wall knocked down and replaced with a flimsy metal fence. As well as losing large amounts of scrap metal and car parts he sells to make a living, Cerveró says four of his animals, including guard dogs, have been killed as a result because the broken fence meant they escaped onto the main road and were run over. Luckily, Cerveró has not lost a great deal of stock through the burglaries – he suspects the thieves are ‘a handful of youths who need a new wing-mirror, headlamp or spare wheel’, as nothing large or heavy has been taken – but his main concern is privacy, lack of security as ‘anyone can enter at will’ by just snapping the ineffective wire fence, and for his animals’ safety as well as that of drivers who could end up having accidents by swerving to avoid these animals. Fed up with his constant complaints to authorities being ignored, Cerveró has decided to take drastic steps. When all else failed, he released a bull into the yard, and only locks him up when there are customers on the premises. The bull does not cause any damage to the car parts heaped up in the yard, merely roaming around contentedly grazing, but he will charge at intruders whose bravado tends to fly out of the window when they see a giant bovine heading for them at speed. Cerveró says he plans to leave the bull on the premises indefinitely.

arrying on the Halloween celebrations, Richie Alexander will be donning his costume for the last time this year at La Bodegueta in Lo Crispin. The bar has a feel of home for its customers and over the past 2 years has become “go to” place on the urb. Run by Ukrainian couple Oxsana and Demitri, the bar has firmly established itself with it’s welcoming atmosphere and also as the place to be for high quality entertainment on any given Tuesday or Saturday. If you love the Beatles, Wednesday is a rare chance to see The StarBeats. The British 4 piece live band will be taking you through all your favourite fab 4 hits at The Club in Quesada. The proceeds will be helping Paul Cunningham Nurses, who look after patients of all nationalities in the community. With many bars cutting back on weekly entertainment it is nice to see some venues starting to put on live music. On Friday you can see the superb Maria O’Hara at Centro Rural in Algorfa. Backing onto the AP7, this airy bar should be packed to its wooden rafters with the eager customers who will be delighting in outstanding talent of the beautiful voice of Maria. Now under new entertainment management, The Shandon Bells in Villamartin Plaza continues to raise the bar with young songstress Rebecca Holt on Friday and popular vocalist Dan Davy on Saturday. The bar will be having top quality live entertainment 4 times a week, which is great news for locals. Remember, remember the 5th of November. Even though we are in Spain there will still be celebrations for this very British occasion. Just like the Spanish we Brits also like the opportunity to celebrate and let off fireworks. In San Luis there will be fireworks galore and a whole lot of fun and great vocals as Angie McKay takes to the stage as only she can. The event is raising money for the Torrevieja Stroke Support Group. Many of you will not be aware of just how many acts and venue owner have been affected by this dreadful condition which can strike all age groups, with devastating consequences. Saturday is your opportunity to not only have a wonderful evening but also to help bring relief to people whose lives have been changed overnight.

Turning back the Spain worried about future tourism despite bumper summer clock
The Balearic Islands did not wish to turn the clock back one hour along with the rest of Spain (and the European Union) on Sunday. The regional assembly of the Mediterranean archipelago has drafted a statement due for approval asking to keep Daylight Saving Time indefinitely. The proposal has been put forward by the eco-nationalists of MÉS Menorca and signed by all the political groups in the legislative chamber, noting that the Balearics is the Spanish region that suffers the most from the time change. On Sunday, the sun will go down at 5.45pm in Mahón, at 5.52pm in Palma de Mallorca and 6pm in Ibiza. This is nearly 50 minutes earlier than Western Spanish cities such as Lugo, in Galicia. Regional lawmakers agree that living on a time zone marked by the Greenwich Meridian is the result of “obsolete” political decisions “of an industrial nature.” The document supports “a rational, logical and natural timetable” because “modern society needs the hours of daylight to adapt to its leisure time.” The statement goes on to list the problems caused by the lack of sunlight,
which is “key” to people’s health and state of mind, and whose absence causes mood alterations “that cause depression and insomnia.” Lawmakers go on to say that natural sunlight allows people to do more outdoor activities in the afternoon, encourages energy savings, helps tourism and foments retail sales. The benefits also extend into a better work-family balance. For years, there have been social movements in favor of maintaining the summer schedule in order to have more daylight hours in the afternoon. The movement Illes amb claror (Islands with clarity, in the Balearic dialect of Catalan), which supports adapting to solar time, has been gaining significant support on social media in recent years. The group demands “adapting the vital needs of citizens to solar schedules, not to the schedules of large corporations.” Now, the regional assembly is echoing this call, noting that the Balearics are the easternmost region of Spain, and thus the place where the sun rises and sets the earliest.
After basking in its best tourist summer season for 15 years, Spain now sees dark clouds on the horizon as popular destinations reach saturation point and holidaymakers become more thrifty, industry experts say. The 2016 summer season proved exceptionally good, with an influx of tourists fleeing other popular destinations recently hit by attacks, said Jose Luis Zoreda, vicepresident of Exceltur, the sector’s employers’ association. A combination of lower interest rates and petrol prices along with unrest in other Mediterranean countries benefited Spain's coastal regions, with their famed ‘sun and beaches,’ he said. But he warned that ‘it will be difficult to reproduce this one-off scenario’. Exceltur believes that out of the 75 million estimated tourists to Spain this year, close to four million will be holidaymakers who used to go to places like Turkey or Egypt. But it's ‘a very uncertain and volatile bubble’, Zoreda said. In 2016, the tourism sector is expected to grow 4.4 percent year-on-year compared to a forecast 3.2 percent expansion in Spain's overall economy which is ‘the highest rise in the past 15 years,’ said Exceltur. In the first eight months of the year, Spain saw a 10 percent increase in the number of tourists from 2015, or a total of 52.5 million people, with the Brits in the
Tripadvisor’s number one restaurant is in Spain A restaurant in Spain has been named the best in the world according to a poll on TripAdvisor, the leading global platform for tourism reviews and information. Martín Berasategui's eponymous eatery in Lasarte, near San Sebastián in the Basque Country, has been described as offering ‘the best combination of flavours’ tourists have ever tasted. “The meal was culinary poetry,” the top-quoted TripAdvisor commenter said. Another revealed he had made a special trip from Belgium with his wife purely to eat there, for her birthday, and described the chef as ‘a culinary artist at work providing global-style exclusive food', which was 'the best they had ever experienced’. ‘Amazing’, ‘perfection’, ‘extraordinary’, ‘awesome’ and ‘out of this world’ are other adjectives diners from all over the world have used to describe Martín Berasategui's restaurant, where users all concurred that the service was excellent and that they were made to feel like celebrities. One said he and his wife were given a ‘special gift’ as it was their 18th wedding anniversary ‘made so much more enjoyable’ by their time at the restaurant. Of course, as the top eatery in the world, it involves a little bit of
saving up before diners can treat themselves, but you get what you pay for, as customers have made clear - “It's worth double the price,” said one reviewer of his ‘unique and memorable dining experience’ which was ‘presented in the most artistic way possible’ using 'the finest local ingredients’, and which ‘lightens the soul as well as the wallet’. The TripAdvisor world's top restaurants goes down to 25, of which three are in Spain – at number 10 is Azurmendi in the town of Larrabetzu, in the Basque coastal province of Vizcaya, described as ‘the best dining experience ever’, ‘wonderful’, and ‘a privilege’, with extra points for the fascinating ‘picnic, winter garden and kitchen tour’ and the beautiful purpose-built surroundings with water features of the Michelin three-starred location – and number 13 was the legendary El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, which is rarely out of the top five in restaurant reviews worldwide. “From beginning to end, this was superb,” said one customer from London who spent her birthday there. “Do yourself a favour and go there,” said a visitor from California, USA. “Incredible. Amazing, amazing, amazing, worth the 11month wait for a reservation.
Would strongly recommend a long nap after the tasting menu,” a lady from Bristol, UK, wrote. “This is a restaurant known for its expertise, with good reason...close to perfection,” said a man from Norway. Between Martín Berasategui and Azurmendi came Maison Lameloise in Chagny and L'Auberte de l'Ill in Illhaeusem, both in France; Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Great Milton, UK; Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890 in Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi in Italy; Alinea in Chicago, Illinois, USA; Waterside Inn in Bray-on-Thames, UK; Voilà Bistrot in Paraty, Brazil, and Adam's in Birmingham, UK. The remaining restaurants in the top 25 below El Celler de Can Roca – from number 14 in descending order – were Da Vittorio in Brusaporto, Italy; Muse Restaurant in Pokolbin, Australia; Funky Gourmet in Athens, Greece; I Latina in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Victoria & Albert's in Orlando, Florida; The French Café in Auckland, New Zealand; La Colombe in Constantia, South Africa; DK David's Kitchen at 909 in Chiang Mai, Thailand; The Test Kitchen in Woodstock, South Africa; Restaurant Locavore in Ubud, Indonesia; TRB in Beijing, China, and Est in Sydney, Australia.
lead. This compares with more than 68 million foreign visitors for the whole of 2015, when Spain was ranked the third tourism destination in the world after France and the United States. But dark clouds are gathering. For one, business tourism has dropped due to political uncertainty in a country that has been without a fully-functioning government for 10 months after two
inconclusive elections. More importantly though, tourists on average have not been spending as much as last year between two and six percent less depending on the months - as they stay for shorter periods of time. Generally, the trend is to save money, said Philip Moscoso, professor at Madrid's IESE Business School. “More people arrive with low-cost airlines and opt for alternative types of rentals”, such as Airbnb, he said - a phenomenon that hurts hoteliers. Over the past two years, the number of regulated tourist accommodation has risen 1.6 percent, while rentals through platforms such as Airbnb have jumped 75 percent, said Exceltur. As such, popular destinations such as
Barcelona and the Balearic Islands reached saturation point, which in some cases posed environmental problems. Margalida Ramis of Majorca's GOB environmental group said the island’s infrastructure was not able to handle “the effects of the summer”, pointing for instance to the treatment of waste water. “This summer, dirty water found its way into the island's northern Albufera natural park as purifiers at a nearby resort's plant stopped working correctly. Ecosystem damage The influx of tourists on the country's beaches also threatens a fragile ecosystem made up of dunes and aquatic plants”, said Ramis, who called for a limitation on unregulated tourism rentals. Authorities are trying to “shift the 'sun and beach' model towards a type of tourism that would be less about quantity and more about quality,” said Moscoso, as well as highlighting the country's heritage. Barcelona, for instance, is trying to promote excursions to the nearby rocky range of Montserrat, while for the northern Basque Region and the winemaking Rioja area it's gastronomy. Another proposal is to attract more Asian tourists - who by and large prefer shopping and visits over sunning themselves on the beach. But Moscoso pointed out that business had been so good recently for the "sun and beach" sector companies are reluctant to drastically change their models.

Missing teenager’s phone found A fisherman from the Rianxo area of Galicia has found Diana Quer's mobile phone in a river near where the last signal was detected. The anonymous finder handed in the white iPhone 6 to police near the village of Taragoña for them to examine further. Investigators had already made a duplicate of the 18-year-old's SIM card to analyse her messages and trace her lastknown movements, which led them to Taragoña, about 10 kilometres from her final sighting in the Valle Inclán Park in A Pobra do Caramiñal, a seaside town where she spent every summer in the family holiday home. The sixth-former had sent a WhatsApp message to a friend but the battery failed around two hours later, meaning police were unable to trace the signal further.

The science behind the most popular diets There are so many diets out there, but which ones actually work? Luckily, scientists have found that most reasonable diets can help you lose weight, compared to not following a diet at all. Overall, studies have shown that diets rich in plants and low in processed foods are the best for weight loss. However, unfortunately many popular diets aren't based on sound scientific principles. Here's what the science says
about the most popular diets, so you can decide which one - if any - might be right for you. South Beach What you do: The South Beach diet is a three-phase program designed by cardiologist Arthur Agatston in 2003. In the first phase, you cut out all carbs, fruits, and alcohol. In phases two and three, you gradually add some of those foods back in (as far as carbs go, you're only
supposed to eat whole-grain ones). It's important to note that this is a commercial diet, so you may have to buy the official plan and materials. What the science says: The diet focuses on whole foods, which is good since studies have shown this is the best approach for weight loss. Cutting out any of the food groups could leave you lacking nutrients, though. Some people on the diet have reported ketoacidosis, a condition with symptoms including bad breath, dry mouth, tiredness, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, and constipation. Studies have found South Beach diets (or those very similar to the name-brand version) could help people lose weight in the short-term, but researchers haven't followed people long-term to see if it helps them keep the weight off. The problem here is that while the second two phases of the diet are somewhat reasonable, the first phase is very restrictive, so some people might have trouble sticking to it. Low-carb (Atkins, Zone, Ketogenic) What you do: There are several versions of low-carb diets out there, but they all prescribe you eat less (or no) carbs. You typically replace these processed, sugary carbohydrates with fruits, vegetables, and meat. These diets also often have phases that start out more strict and gradually taper off over time so your body allegedly stops ‘craving’ carbs. What the science says: Research on low-carb diets has emerged as quite favourable over the last several years. Ketogenic diets were first developed to treat epilepsy in children, but have since turned into a popular option for many adults. The idea is that reducing carb intake will force the body to burn stored
fat instead, jump-starting weight loss. Side effects of a low-carb diet may include nausea, headaches, bad breath, constipation, and tiredness, though. Studies have found that people on lowcarb diets do lose weight, and they also report feeling less hungry. DASH What you do: The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) plan is designed to lower your blood pressure. You cut your sodium intake, switching from the sugary foods and red meats that so many of us eat to whole grains, lean protein, and produce. What the science says: Public health experts routinely praise this diet as one of the most effective, and US News and World Report has ranked DASH as its ‘best diet overall’. That's because it's based on pretty sound research. Studies have found that people on the DASH diet tend to lose or maintain their weight, lower their blood pressure, and reduce their risk for heart disease and kidney problems. But people are much more likely to get these results if they actually stick to the diet, which can be tough, one study found. The daily recommended sodium limit for adults is 2,300 milligrams, and most Americans eat much more than that. Paleo What you do:Eat foods that our ancestors could allegedly hunt or gather. This means no cultivated grains or livestock. What the science says: We know cutting most processed foods and sugar out of your diet can be beneficial. A small observational study found participants did lose weight and might have reduced their heart disease risk on the paleo diet,
but these effects didn't appear to be more than other participants on similarly calorie-restricted diets. Cutting out main food groups like dairy and grains could prevent you from getting the nutrients you need, though. Fast 5:2 What you do: On the FAST diet, you eat normally for five days of the week, and then drastically reduce your calorie intake (500 a day for women, 600 for men) on the other two days. It's a method known as ‘intermittent fasting’. What the science says: Researchers have found that intermittently fasting mice tend to live longer, lose weight, and have fewer diseases, but they haven't conducted the rigorous, long-term studies necessary to draw the same kinds of conclusions for humans. Fasting can result in headaches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. Even if you can fast successfully for two days, you still have to be careful not to overeat on your five regular days.

Lou from Torrevieja asks: Hi Aunty. What is the best way to put some photos onto a DVD so I can send them to my family in Norway? I am using Windows 10 but I can’t see any app for making DVD discs. I used to have Nero on my old Vista PC which was really easy to use, is it safe to download one of the free apps to do this? Aunty Says: Hi Lou. Windows 10 can quite happily make DVDs without the need to download any additional apps.
Technology
I normally create a new temporary folder by right clicking somewhere on the desktop and then copy & paste all of the photos that I want to put on the DVD into this folder, I find that this makes the whole process a lot easier. Put a blank DVD into the disc drive and open the new folder you created (double click on it) and you should then see a new window and a “share” tab at the top. Click on this tab and you will see a “burn to disc” option which will start the process.

Dennis via email asks: I was recently called by a Microsoft technical support officer who said that my computer had been sending out hundreds of error messages and that they were calling from Microsoft in Alicante and persuaded me to go through a load of checks on my system. After half an hour they told me that they could fix my computer but I needed to pay 90 Euros and at this point I suspected it was some kind of scam and I told them so. I didn’t give them any personal details but I’m worried they managed to trawl through my computer and may now have things like banking information. Is this possible and what should I do? Why did they target me and how could they have got my home number? Aunty Says: This is definitely a scam Dennis, Microsoft will never call customers about computer problems. These people could easily have uploaded any of your personal details and there isn’t much you can do about it. Certainly change any important passwords including email and online banking and contact your bank to alert them to look for any unusual behaviour. Nearly everyone has a Windows computer with some kind of problem so these robbers can pick random numbers and safely assume that they will get a result. Helen via email asks: Hi Aunty, I have used Firefox for probably 10 years but I recently had major problems so I downloaded Google chrome which is definitely faster. However now I don’t seem to have any favourites and can’t seem to find a way of showing then like they were in Firefox. I have worked out how to add them each time I’m on a website by clicking the star icon in the top right corner but can I move them across from Firefox (I have hundreds) or will I have to add them all one by one? Aunty Says: Hi Helen. You can do this from the settings icon (three little dots in the top right corner) and choose “Bookmarks” then “Import Bookmarks and Settings” and you should be good to go. That’ll do for this week, email me your questions to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will see what I can do. Any questions, you can email me at: auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and hopefully see you all next week.

New car sales soar across Europe
WANTED
Nearly 1.5m brand new cars were registered across Europe last month, representing a 7.1 percent increase on 2015 and the strongest September for a decade. All but three European markets reported an increase in new car sales. Romania, Hungary and Latvia saw the biggest leaps of 62.7 percent, 31.1 percent and 29.2 percent respectively. Ireland, the Netherlands and Greece each saw new registrations fall by between 1 percent and 10 percent. The UK saw a modest 1.6 percent increase, the fourth weakest in Europe. SUV sales hit 400,000 across the continent, a historic first for this market sector. However, hatchbacks still dominate the charts, with the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo, Vauxhall/Opel Corsa and Renault Clio all beating the bestselling

Skoda Kodiaq
Seat Azteca
Nissan Qashqai SUV. More than half of the top 20 new cars are hatchbacks, while just three of those listed are SUVs. With two models on the sales podium, and with slowly stabilising new car registrations, Volkswagen might see these latest figures as encouraging. Porsche and Skoda are big winners in the VW Group stable,
with SUV sales promising to deliver another lift to the beleaguered manufacturer. The new Volkswagen Tiguan and Seat Azteca, as well as the upcoming Skoda Kodiaq, should capitalise on growing SUV demand. The Golf, meanwhile - the bestselling car in Europe and Volkswagen’s most recognisable model - has slipped somewhat. It’s still 21,000 units ahead of its nearest rival, the Astra, but sales have slowed in the UK, France and Germany. This year’s Renault Megane and the brand new Fiat Tipo are new challengers to the Golf’s throne. Romania’s 62.7 percent increase in car sales is likely to consist mainly of corporate purchases, although increased public-sector wages will have nudged private consumers into showrooms. Home brand Dacia is historically a market leader in this growing economy.

EUROGOLF NORTH V SOUTH Cribbage League
RASO GOLF SOCIETY On Friday 28 October 28 members travelled down to Saurines, a course we have not played before. It is described as a desert style course with influence of the
Nicklaus golf course in Lake, Las Vegas. Judging by the comments that came in after the game, most found the links course characteristics and undulating fairways challenging and interesting, and have shown interest in playing the course again. The competition was a Stableford
format and the results were as follows: NTP’s: hole 6 Paul Manning hole 10 Ken Brett holes 14 and 18 Morag Turner. Gordon Bourne won best front nine with 19 pts and best back nine went to the lady who managed to turn her game round on the back nine, Lauraine Walker, with a super 23 pts. The scores were all very close, however third place went to Malcolm Foskett 33 pts, second Jan Shorley also with 33 pts. However, the round of the day was scored by David Valentine who came in with an outstanding 41 pts and a severe handicap cut! Presentations were held at the Olde 9th in Quesada and Captain Marilyn welcomed new members Morag and Ian Turner and Gloria and Paul Manning. Our thanks go to Grant and Isobel who served up delicious chilli con carne.
On Thursday 27th October Eurogolf played a stableford in teams of people from the North and South. Each flight had 2 people from the South and 2 from the North and the the pair with the highest joint scores won a point for their team. To add to the day the South team wore blue shirts and the North team wore white and surprisingly everyone remembered to do so! The overall winners by 3 points were the South. The pair with the highest points were Colin Daye-Gretton and Peter Gartside with an impressive 75 points. In 2nd place were Sue Gillette and John Cross with 67 points closely followed by Bob Buckeridge and Keith Wright with 66 points. The lady with the highest score who wasn´t in the team prizes was Jan Shorley 35 points and the best man was Harry Armstrong 35 c/b. NTPs 5th Vince Tocker 11th Gary Grierson 15th Gordon Bourne 17th Arty Crammon. Football draw Clive Horne, David Valentine, Gary Grierson, Alan Venables and Craig Hall.
TUESDAY TOFFS On Tuesday 25th October 74 golfers played in the weekly stableford competition at La Marquesa and the results were Cat 1 1st Bob Buckeridge 37 2nd Malcolm Foskett 35 3rd Clive Horne 34 Cat 2 1st Steve Sayers 37 2nd Jim Weston 36 3rd Stan Low 35 Cat 3 1st John Holland 34 2nd Gordon Bourne 31 3rd Mary Sanderson 30 Cat., 4 1st Bev Evans 36 2nd Lauraine Walker 34 3rd Franco Gentili 31 Overall Toffs Winner Steve Sayers Best front 9 Robin Richards 20 Best back 9 Alan Venables 20 NTPs 5th Morag Turner 11th Jim Weston 15th John Kirkwood 17th Mike Gillette Football draw John Kirkwood x 2 Steve Sayers John Fairhurst and Morag Turner.

CRISTIANO FINDS HIS SHOOTING BOOTS After Friday night’s match resulted in a 0-2 away win for Real Sociedad over minnows Leganés, it was the turn of leaders Real Madrid to visit another newly-promoted side, Alavés. They were soon behind, after a defensive error let in Deyverson, but then Gareth Bale’s free kick was handled in the home area, and Cristiano Ronaldo ended his long goaldrought when he slotted home the penalty. The Portuguese soon celebrated by drilling home a beauty from the edge of the area, but Madrid suffered, until Benzema, little more than a passenger, was replaced by Morata, who promptly scored a fine goal to put the game beyond the Basque side. Ronaldo saw another penalty saved by ex-Real Madrid ‘keeper Pacheco, but scored a late third to give his side a comfortable win. Meanwhile Sevilla, visiting Gijón to take on Sporting, were given a jolt to their title hopes, being held to a 1-1 draw, Vietto scoring their only goal. Atletico were the next of the top sides to perform, and they
entertained Málaga in the Vicente Calderón. This new-look Atletico is
not afraid to attack, and Frenchman Gameiro, and Belgian Carrasco shared four goals, but the match saw a plethora of cards – of both colours – and Savic, the Atletico defender, was required to take the ‘early bath’ as was Chory for the visitors. 4-2 was the final score. Barcelona also played on
Saturday, and would have expected an easy ride against bottom club Granada, still without a win. In the end, they had to rely on a goal just after the interval from Rafinha to give them a narrow victory – the injuries to key players like Iniesta and Piqué cannot fail to have an effect. Nothing much has changed in England, as all three of the leading clubs won – and all three, oddly enough, scored four away goals. Manchester City, after a lean spell, were the best of them, hitting four past West Brom without reply, Kun Agüero going past Francis Lee as their top scorer ever. Arsenal did nothing to assist David Moyes’ chances of survival by winning 1-4 at Sunderland, then Liverpool beat Palace in a crazy game 2-4, little Brazilian Coutinho again showing his class. Anyone who is not by now tired of reading my prose, can obtain my autobiography, ‘One Way Migrant’ – available from Amazon, and it won’t break the bank! Malcolm Palmer
Brian & Pat from Catorce B won all 3 games for a 5-4 win. Brian &Elaine, Vanessa& Margaret Grey from Concierto Jaguars won all their games to win 7-2 well done. All of Lo Crispin Taverns pairs won 2 games each to win 6-3. 2 pairs frim Charlies Magpies won 2 games each for a 5-4 win. Spanglish voles had a win of 5-4 with 2 pairs winning 2 games each.
All 3 pairs from Izzy’s Owls won 2 games each to get a 6-3 win. Casa Ventura Merlins had 2 pairs win 2 games each to win 5-4. Jacky & Colin won all 3 legs to take Spanglish Robins to a 5-4 win. On this week’s losing teams there was a few 3-0 wins. Florence & Mike from The Falcons. Brian & Mary from Catorce A and Peter & Tony from The Galleon. Well done everybody keep the good work up
LAS RAMBLAS GOLF SOCIETY Firstly some clarification of last weeks Memorial Day trophy result. Although Doug Wright did have an individual total score of 45 points, as those who know the game will appreciate when a 2 ball better ball is being played not all of those points necessarily appear on the card of the pairing because the other player may either equal or improve on their partners score. In order to avoid any confusion Pete Dunn did score more than the remaining 4 pts in the teams score of 49 pts. Hopefully that clears up any misunderstanding! On Monday we played a best 2 of 4 with all scores counting on the Par 3's. The game was won with a very good score of 107 pts by the team of Rod Doel, Olga Douglas, Nick Campbell and John Dobson. Nick Campbell and John Dobson got the team off to a good start scoring 23 pts and 18 pts respectively on the front nine with Olga and Rod cementing that advantage with solid scoring on the back nine. The runners up on 102 pts were Geoff Biggerstaff, Pete Dunn, Alan Douglas and Doug Wright. On Wednesday we played a Stableford game with a difference since we played from the yellow stakes rather than from the tee positions set by the course
officials. This added some 200 metres to the course distance that we would normally play and with only a couple of exceptions the scoring reflected the added difficulty and obstacles encountered throughout the round. Only two players bettered par with Alan Douglas and Geoff Biggerstaff scoring an excellent 37 pts to win Category 1 and 2 respectively. The top 3 players in each Category were as follows: Cat 1. 1st Alan Douglas 37 pts 2nd Terry Field 35 pts 3rd Jan Svendsen 33 pts Cat 2. 1st Geoff Biggerstaff 37 pts 2nd Mike Mahony 33 pts 3rd Marleen Billen 30 pts (c/b) There were four players sharing the 2's Club rollover: Olga Douglas, Peter Radcliffe, John Dobson and Lindsay Forbes On Friday it was the final of our Pairs Match Play Knockout
competition with Doug Wright and Brian Dent taking on Bryan Neal and Mike Chapman. It was a pretty scrappy affair early on with neither team able to make headway and the match was all square after the first nine holes. Doug Wright then found his rhythm winning the next four holes and Doug and together with Brian maintained the advantage to take the match 4 & 3. The majority of our members played the ever popular Counter Game where the number of scores is not known until reaching the next tee. The winners with a very good score of 92 pts were Olga Douglas, Terry Field, Ron and Yvonne Phipps. Whilst all of the team played well a special mention goes to Terry Field who had 9 birdies.

Lewis Hamilton didn’t plan on being second on Mexico. Lewis Hamilton didn’t come second. That pretty much sums up the Mexican Grand Prix as Hamilton started on pole, led and won the race to close the gap to 19 points at the top of the leader board. Verstappen was told to sling his hook from the podium after
being given a 5 second penalty, resulting in Vettel actually running to get there in time for the presentation. Got to love F1. Bangladesh bamboozled the living daylights out of England in the 4th innings of the 2nd Test. Chasing 274 to win, England were cruising at 100 without lost. But, even after years of becoming rather good at Test cricket there is always the chance that batting will collapse faster than the proverbial house of cards at the first sign of trouble. Collapse it did and England were all out for 164, meaning the series ended 1-1. British tennis used to be as predictable as the aforementioned batting collapse, but Andy Murray continues his crusade to show the world the best way for a British tennis player to become good is to move to Spain young. Murray notched up his 7th tour title of the season as he edged even closer to that world number one spot. If he wins the title in Paris next week he will sit on top of the world.

To celebrate our first birthday we held our first ever President´s Day at Roda followed by a presentation dinner at Las Ramblas. With heavy rain, thunder and lightning forecast it was with some trepidation that we set off for Roda with our waterproof clothing and umbrellas to hand. We needn´t have worried the heavens opened and the Orihuela Costa flooded between the golf ending and the dinner starting, the organisers were very relieved. With thanks to our many sponsors we were able to offer prizes on every hole, we would also like to thank Jose and his staff at Roda and Sergio and the restaurant staff at Las Ramblas. In addition to the winners of the day´s golf a prize and trophy was given to the most improved player, congratulations to Dave Windsor who deservedly won this award.

LA MARINA GOLF-SOCIETY
CAPTAIN'S DAY 2016 The usual format for Jimmy Scott's Captains Day took place on Thursday with an early competition on the Par 3 course at El Plantio ,followed by breakfast and the premier competition on the 18-hole course. The Society provided a very acceptable Bacon baguette between rounds and we moved to the main event with much hope. However, 27 holes in a day proved too much for most and scores In general didn't meet expectations. Prize- giving took place at the La Marina Club in the evening where we were provided with an excellent 3-course meal with wine by Helena and her staff ,together with a round of drinks from the Captain. A curiously fun raffle game followed with much hilarity when people's prizes disappeared from their table and were sometimes snatched back immediately only to disappear again. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable evening thank
you Jimmy ,Irene and Elspeth. Competition results are as follows: Gold Medal and Captain's Trophy - Vic Smith 38 points Silver Medal Winner Carol Marriner Nearest the Pins - Alan Craig, Vic Smith, Mick Cook and Mark Pope Par 3 Winner (on countback) - Roger Honey 25 points Our next meeting is at BonAlba on 10th November at a cost of 40 E ,first tee 10.00 a.m. List is on the notice-board or e-mail Alan Craig on a100ac@yahoo.co.uk.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
Many people have tried to stop Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring goals for fun over the years and it looks as though someone has finally been successful. That’s right, Jose Mourinho seems to have cracked to code to make Zlatan less than mortal. Yet another game at Old Trafford passed by with the opposition goalkeeper putting in a super human performance to keep a clean sheet. Or that is the narrative that Jose will have you believe. Sure, United created 30 or so shots and Heaton saved many of them, but really? You can’t score one of them? Jose was sent to see it from the fan’s point of view after giving Clattenburg an extra special piece of his mind, and Herrera couldn’t stand it anymore either. You may think I am always giving United a hard time, but I like Herrera. He has some fight in him. To give Jose some credit however, he managed to coax a clean sheet out of a defence that had Marcus Rojo in it. A couple of weeks ago the usually smug Alan Pardew was headlined with “people talk about England, but why would I leave Palace?” How about because you have only won 5 games in 31, Alan? That kind of form, with the money you have spent, tends to make you a favourite for the chippity-chop come the January transfer window. Kloppo led his team to Croydon and entertained the pants off the evening TV crowd with a 4-2 win. They even managed it with Moreno
who probably needs to learn that you cannot block a cross when you are standing ten metres away from the winger. It wasn’t a free kick, there is no excuse. Mind you, he did get closer to his man than any of the Palace players got to Matip. There is a buzz around Liverpool at the moment, one of the few teams managing to avoid any criticism at this early stage in the season. Softest penalty of the season goes to Spurs. It allowed Janssen to recall the feeling of putting the ball in the back of the net, but it was never a penalty. Leicester looked like Leicester, and battled back to a very good point at the Lane. Ronald Koeman flexed his manmanagement muscles once again, coaxing match-winning performances out of Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley in Everton’s 2-0 over West Ham. Lukaku wishes he could play West Ham every week. Mind you, quite a few people feel like that at the moment. Each week that goes by makes it more and more unlikely that Sunderland will attract a decent manager by the time they sack Moyes. Ten games in and the Mackems have two points. Moyes though, well he is refusing to panic. If you are not going to panic now David, when are you? Your side just managed to make Giroud look like the most predatory striker in the land, I’d panic. Arsenal capitalised on Sunderland collapsing like a badly baked cake on GBBO with twenty minutes left. That Manchester City crisis lasted almost as long as the gap between Liverpool fans cursing Lovren and then
loving Lovren. Pep is clearly using Aguero in the less important games now, and the Argentine was at the centre of most things good for City in their 4-0 win. Gundogan also got a brace and it is worth recalling that he cost less than the fee United paid Pogba’s agent for signing him. West Brom’s finest performance came from their fans who were singing “we’ve got the ball” in the rare occasion that they got the ball from their opponents, changing instantly to “we’ve lost the ball” each time they immediately gave it back. As I said on FANTVuk on Friday night, Bournemouth would play some pretty stuff and Middlesbrough would be pretty tough to break down. Both sides played their part and Boro ran out 2-0 winners in a win that eases a little pressure on Karanka. I might have suggested in the week that Hull captain Michael Dawson returning from injury might just be the fillip that Phelan’s men needed to stabilise their season. Dawson managed to turn into his own net as Hull lost 1-0 to Watford. Sorry Daws. Watford, incredibly, are 7th in the table. If they can avoid their second half to the season crumble, they might be the surprise package. Antonio Conte headed into the match with Southampton working out the best way to make Sir Alex eat his words. Fergie had suggested he did not see Chelsea as title contenders this season. The pundits seem to know little about Chelsea as Jamie Redknapp was talking up the “young English talent” that is Victor Moses. Moses is a 26-year-old Nigerian international. The Robbie Savage award
very much goes to Redknapp junior this week. Still, that young English talent played a big part in Hazard opening the scoring for the Blues. The big grump that is Costa doubled the lead to move Chelsea
into a slightly congested top four. PS: If you want daily TFTTF, head over to www.talesfromthetopflight.com
Segorbe 0-3 CD Torrevieja La Siesta Bowls Club Halloween Scare Coming on as a subtitute just after the hour mark, Damian displayed his supernatural talent, frightening Segorbe into retreat and calling for the Exorcist. They had been pressing Torry for an equaliser, and it looked like coming, until the gifted teenager took command and dominated all before him. It could have been a very different story, Torry conceding yet another penalty, this time after only 3 minutes play. Oscar Moreno blasted his spot kick high and Torry
the net. It was a wonderful goal that gave Torry the lead at the interval. As expected though, Segorbe came out for the second half fully determined to level the game.They pressed hard and Buba was at his best to keep his goal intact. Torry absorbed considerable pressure until Damian was introduced. He immediately changed the complexion on the game, eagerly receiving the ball and creating space, then able to
Starting line up in Segorbe breathed a sigh of relief. The rest of the first period was littered with half chances, both sides showing why they filled the bottom two places - poor passing, weak finishing and no real sense of purpose. Having said that, Carrasco and Dani Salazar were outstanding. They were both composed, played the ball constructively, read the game well and gave a solid feel to a team that had yet to keep a clean sheet. Vicente and Luis Carlos worked hard in defence and attack. Luis won the ball in his own half when Pastor came short for the pass. Once in possession he ran at his marker, then cut inside and from 25 yards curled a superb shot into the top corner of
make passes accurately and tellingly. He did so on 70 minutes, picking out Pastor with a long cross field ball, which Pastor controlled with his right, looped over his opponent and smashed into the roof of the net with his left. Another glorious piece of Pastor magic. Torry added a third after Lewis had smashed a shot against the post and both Hugo and Damian had tried their luck with free kicks. This time Matheus cooly slotting home when a Segorbe defender made a bad pass to his keeper which the Torry striker intercepted. Full marks to the referee who realised this and waved away the offside flag of his assistant, who clearly missed that it was a
defender who had last played the ball. The crowd were incensed, but it was a 100% correct decision. Torry might have scored more but this victory lifted them off the bottom of the table and saw them keep a clean sheet for the first time in 12 matches. Now it is vital to follow up with a first home win of this campaign against Silla. The match kicks off at 5pm at the Nelson Mandella. The club is expected to sign a number
Captains before match in Segorbe of players this week, notably central defenders, where the club is most vulnerable, especially with the continued absence through injury of Martin. It is expected that these new players will be registered in time for inclusion in the line up against Silla on Sunday. With that boost, added to this encoraging second away win, hopes will be high for back to back successes. Team: Buba, Vicente Boix, Luis Carlos, Juanmi, Carrasco, Dani Salazar, Pastor, Buza (Damián 62’), Matheus, Lewis © & Hugo Salamanca (Booker 83’). Jeff Scott
By Rod Edgerton First clean sheet of the season for the Apollos winning 124 shots to 54 with a score of 14 point to 0. Keeping up their winning start to the season. Top Spot this week goes to Sue & Vic Mahomet with Vic Moore winning by an excellent score of 35-10. Second best was Ann & Robert Heath with John Ball
and Brian Gardiner winning 22shots to 11. Shirley Chorley, Wendy Ralph, Bill and Sue Jordan lost narrowly on the final end by 15 shots to 16. The Blues visited Country Bowls in a match that could not have finished much closer with rinks shared 3 each and The Blues winning overall by a single shot 105104 therefore getting the points by 8 to
winning 26-12. Unfortunately, not such good news for the Pioneers who lost away at a strong Quesada side by 129 -70. The 2 points for La Siesta, saving a whitewash, was obtained by Hilary Clark,Tony Campbell and Tony Dalton by the margin of a single shot 18-17. The Winter League team travelled to Finca Guila and found the going more difficult as the match went on and eventually lost by 100 shots to 78. The winning rink for La Siesta was Pat Moore,Tony Campbell, Harold Charleton
6.Top rinks for La Siesta were Ann Heath, Robert Heath and John Ball 24-17 and Patricia Reilly, Pat Moore and Sue Jordan 18-11. The Golds visited El Rancho and on the notoriously difficult rinks came back with a narrow defeat by 8 points to 6.
