Torrevieja and local areas Tuesday, March 8th 2016 - Edition 588

Torrevieja still poor As tourists begin to return to the city of Torrevieja for the special Easter Parades and Semana Santa Festivities, Spain's statistics institute still reckon that Torrevieja is the poorest major city in Spain. But at least the city is good company, because believe it or not, Marbella, Fuengirola and Benidorm are all poor as well. All

coastal towns; tourist resorts and holiday destinations preferred by domestic visitors and even some wealthy tourists from other countries. They are cities that show from the outside an image of fun, good life and luxury to stroll along the quays of its ports. And yet, according to the two issues that the INE has published the report Urban

Indicators, they are bottom of the queue when it comes to per capita income of its inhabitants. Torrevieja is the Spanish city with the lowest average income (13,977 euros) of the 109 studied in the report, but also found the bottom of the rankings other tourist cities such as Fuengirola (18,083 euros, fourth from bottom), Benidorm (20,003 euros, seventh), Marbella (eighth, with 20,401 euros) or Torremolinos (tenth but with 20,729 euros per capita income). "We measure the income of people who have their home there, not just those going there for August vacation," explained a spokesman for the INE. "People who live there and there generating income for their homes, work mostly in activities such as catering, cleaning and other tourist oriented services. And salaries in these economic sectors are lower." The controversial report is the publication of the first study of Urban Indicators. However, in the space of a year, earnings in Torrevieja have almost doubled as the City of Salt, which appeared in last place last year with an average income of 7,986 euros has now risen to 13,977. Last year, Torrevieja's Mayor Jose Manuel Dolon, after much prompting from Opposition Parties, eventually sent a strongly worded letter to the president of INE in which he called the report "absurd" and "pseudoestudio". While the INE refuse to believe for a moment that their methodology may be flawed, the review of the methodology has not managed to take the

Torrevieja off the bottom of the table. Torrevieja's Mayor, in his letter last year, described the report as a "nonsense" to divide the income declared to the tax authorities by the number of households. It's a simplistic formula that resort areas like Torrevieja, Marbella and Benidorm, who have many "second homes" that do not generate income as well as a huge foreign population that does not declare their income to the Spanish tax authorities, throws the mythology out of the water. So, while still not recognising that their methodology might be flawed, the INE has changed it somewhat to incorporate "new sources of income" and, above all, the income of foreign residents in each locality. And not only corrected the figures for this year, also last year. With this new calculation, if Pozuelo de Alarc贸n led the classification of income in 2012 to 54 543

euros per capitation revenue, this year the amount allocated to this locality for this year is 72,173 euros. The rise of the income is because of foreign athletes living in the residential areas of this city located on the outskirts of the capital, in the case of this Madrid locality. And yet, despite the change in methodology, Torrevieja continues to close the income table of the 109 cities analysed. Their average income in 2012 have been updated from 7,986 euros to 13,871 euros but the review has not helped to take them off the bottom of the classification. On the other hand, being the poorest city in Spain has kept the prices of a Cafe con Leche or a full English Breakfast at a very attractive price, so maybe local residents should just enjoy their 'poor' status and laugh at others where prices can often be double what one pays in the City of Salt.

EL PAÍS prepares to go Digital Hot on the heels of The Independent newspaper stopping its print version and now being available only as a digital publication, comes news that Spain's EL PAÍS daily newspaper may soon follow their example. With the move to digital, for any printed media this cuts out their main costs of printing and distribution. Even locally around the Costa Blanca, some publications have been considering this move but the main reluctance is from traditional print advertisers that possibly digital advertising is the way forward. There are many challenges with digital: the main one being how to ensure that readers also see advertising content. But with the younger generation being brought up on smartphones and tablets from primary school age and even many retirees being perfectly comfortable with computers and tablets and mobiles, the future of publishing is undoubtedly Digital and NOT print. While the CoastRider offers possibly the easiest to read local publication, due to it's clean and uncluttered layout and photographs to tell a 1,000 words, we too are looking at producing a complementary digital edition, side-by-side with our printed edition. Time will tell if Digital is future of local media. And now big changes are underway in Spain. Last

week, EL PAÍS's Editor-in-Chief Antonio Caño held a meeting with employees to explain the future plans for the newspaper and issued an Open Letter which said: Dear colleagues, We spoke on Thursday morning about the tough reality that our profession and newspapers from all over the world are currently facing. At EL PAÍS we have been making changes for a long time now and we have managed to undergo a digital transformation alleviating as much as possible the damage that it has caused in our sector. Fortunately, and despite the difficulties, we are still the biggest-selling printed newspaper in Spain, with a considerable margin over our competitors, and our digital editions have seen spectacular growth over the last 18 months, making EL PAÍS the most-visited and most-read media outlet in Spanish the world over. Thanks to your sacrifice and cooperation we are in a competitive position and in conditions to ensure that EL PAÍS continues to lead. But this does not mean that the battle has been won, or that our survival is guaranteed. The revolution that is affecting the media has still not concluded, and the outlook is very confusing. The crisis, most likely, has not yet hit bottom. The migration of readers from print to digital is constant. We can already assume that the habit of buying a newspaper at a newsstand is now the thing of a minority. The majority of people, in

particular youngsters, look for their information on a range of different devices and they consume it in a different way. The step from paper to digital is not even the biggest of the many steps that newspapers will have to take until we find our true space in the future. In the digital area, the situation is still uncertain. The massive transfer of web readers to cell phones, as well as the appearance of new portable devices and of recent threats such as ad blockers, together with those that are more well-known, such as an engrained culture of not paying for content, make the horizon in the terrain of new media very complex too. I am beginning to get the impression that that the step from paper to digital is just one part, and is not even the biggest of the many steps that newspapers will have to take until we find our true space in the future. These changes, like all, have big advantages. The first, and most important, is that millions of people the world over show an interest and have the ability to access our products. But, without a doubt – and this is what most concerns us today – these new times also mean a huge challenge for all of us. And a real threat for those who have doubts about or who resist the unstoppable advance of the transformation of our work and the business that supports it. In EL PAÍS we have decided not just to not be afraid of change, but also to get ahead as far as possible to be at the forefront of this change, just as we were at the birth of the independent media in Spain and with quality and competitive information in Spanish. Our values It is good to take a moment to look back and remember how everything started, and why it is that we are here. On May 4 we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of our creation. In that first edition, founding Editor Juan Luis Cebrián assured readers that he had always conceived this newspaper as an independent publication, able to resist the pressures that political powers and financial interests always exert on the world of information. We are going to change, but we are not going to reject those values of freedom and independence that have brought us here. We are going to incorporate new work dynamics that will improve the quality and quantity of our content and the products that EL PAÍS offers and that today can be read in print, via mobile applications, intelligent televisions and social networks. But we will work hard to ensure that the fingerprint of EL PAÍS is on all of these platforms. We are not going to reject those values of freedom

value of the advertisement. The CoastRider SL does not guarantee distribution times. Any change to distribution days will, where possible, be publicized a week in advance.

News 3 Gardening has to be even more so: we must continue to be the newspaper that attends to the needs and demands of those who consult us, who read us, who trust us. We don’t work for anyone who is more important than the reader, but we know that the readers of today have been transformed in users who are in more and more diverse places, and who reach us not just buying a copy every day, but also via our website, through their cell phone or through their profiles on social networking sites. This new space wants to continue to be the best place for its most important journalists, writers, illustrators, photographers, designers and other creators of information and culture in the Spanish language can publish their work, but today the content is as important as the way in which it gets to our public. As such, as well as our by-lines, we are creating new work systems and widening our training plans to be able to mould journalistic content in a way that it becomes easy to find and to read or to see, because readers are consuming multimedia content with greater and greater interest. As such, the launch of El País Vídeo has been one of the most recent successes. Experiences like these teach us many things.

and independence that have brought us here After more than a year-and-a-half of work and debate, we are approaching a key moment in the history of EL PAÍS. Over the next few days, the first phase of the refurbishment work in the new newsroom will be complete, and with it will arrive the moment when EL PAÍS will become an essentially digital newspaper; in a great platform dedicating to generating content, content that will be distributed, among other formats, in the best printed newspaper in Spain. We are taking on the commitment to continue publishing a print edition of EL PAÍS that is of the highest quality for as long as is possible. But we will, at the same time, be working to build a great digital medium, with a global reach, and that can respond to the demands of new and future readers. The axis of this medium will be information. Its tools will be all of those that technology puts at our disposal. For now, as you area already seeing, we are placing a focus on image and video as the great instrument of mass communication. This medium is, and will be, more and more American, given that it is in America where our growth is strongest and our expansion is most promising. This newspaper needs all of those who supply creativity and professionalism. To achieve all of this, as we have mentioned, we are carrying out refurbishment work that will facilitate the transition from the work of yesterday to the work of tomorrow. We are going to

move on from what the sector has described as “integration of newsrooms” to a new system of synchronization of teams and channels. We are going to introduce modern communication tools that can respond quickly and with a high quality to the demands for transparent information from an ever-more demanding society in terms of the task they have given us. It will be a newsroom without desks, one that is open to collaboration and the exchange of ideas, in which teams will mingle in order to create new stories. From now on, in the heart of the main newsroom there will be a modern, open space that is dedicated to the creation and coordination of information and its distribution via different channels. The center of this newsroom will count on a modern bridge, in which there will be a range of journalistic profiles, of technological development, of graphic editing and video, of design, of production, of audience measurement, of social networks, of SEO and of quality control. From there new narratives and new ways of communicating will be created, ones that will keep this newspaper on the cutting edge of global journalism. Our readers All of this change has one main objective: to keep us connected to every one of our readers. EL PAÍS has always been a journalistic organization that is focused on its ever-attentive and well-informed readers. Today it

In order to facilitate all of this work, we have strengthened our team of directors with new profiles, ones that are more in tune with our current needs. While I have no doubts about their abilities or efforts, neither they nor any of us will achieve the difficult objectives that we have set out if you do not accompany us, if you do not help us with your suggestions, with your criticisms, with your work in search of excellence. I believe we have the vision, the abilities and the necessary knowledge, but we need to listen with humility to your ideas and the demands of our readers and all of the community that has made this newspaper a reference point of which we are proud. Join the Conversation, is the slogan we use when communicating with our readers. This newspaper needs all of those who supply creativity and professionalism. We have to make a collective effort to change, being faithful to ourselves and to do things even better, and I hope that we can do so enjoying ourselves and being happy while we take this exciting journey. EL PAÍS is on the path to celebrating its next 40 years with more vigour than ever. You are invited to take part in this beautiful adventure to invent a future from this house that you helped build and that is our newspaper. Many thanks for your confidence and efforts.

The DGT delivers 1,500 bulletproof vests to Guardia Civil Trafico

Due to an increase in incidents and aggressive behaviour towards Traffic Officers of the Guardia Civil, the Interior Ministry will equip 1,500 new Trafico agents with bulletproof vests. This will happen in two ways: 1,000 will be for external use and 500, for internal use. The DGT wants to strengthen the security of its agents due to increased attacks by drivers on patrol and the jihadist threat. According to the report of the Directorate General of the Civil Guard (DGGC), the tendency is that these violent reactions will continue to grow. Most assaults occur with firearms or with sharp objects and some have caused the death of Guardia Civil Traffic Officers in the performance of their duties. The scenarios in which the personal safety of agents "may be compromised," shows that they mostly occur during alcohol or drugs tests, in the identification of drivers or at the time of writing a ticket as punishment for offences committed. Therefore, the DGT wants to strengthen the security of the detachments of the Traffic Division with 1,500 bulletproof vests with a contract worth 660,000 euros. According to the report of the DGGC, the total cost of protective clothing amounted to 663,080 euros: 217,800 to purchase 500 vests internal use and 445,280 for 1,000

from external use. Each bulletproof vest unit contains: A vest, composed of two ballistic panels and an outer sheath of white, two replacement covers, also in white. In addition, the safety devices must meet a number of general characteristics, among which are the following: They should not disturb the neck or armpit, allowing the user to sit comfortably, drive a vehicle and wear clothes, unnoticed. It will allow the agent to carry a sidearm and be able to fire with both hands in different shooting positions. No protection is placed on top of the shoulders, with the device allowing adjustment to different vest sizes. The maximum thickness of the ballistic panel will be

less than 6 millimetres. The jihadist threat Increasing attacks on road safety patrols is not, however, the only argument of the DGT to guarantee greater protection. The latest attacks in Paris - that of Charlie Hebdo in January and the Bataclan Hall in November - assumed an increase in jihadist threats in Europe. In the case of Spain, the country remains on a level 4 terror alert. In that sense, the Unified Association of Guardia Civil (AUGC) reported last November, the "embarrassing situation" regarding self - protection means to address the jihadist threat of national police and civil guards. In addition, the AUGC warned about the "precarious provision of bulletproof vests to ensure minimal security agents serving both security and direct contact with the population." However, Trafico responded by ensuring that their agents already had, late last year, vests to provide professional services in the Spanish streets. For their part, the director general of the Guardia Civil, Arsenio Fernandez de Mesa, announced in August that the objective of the institution for 2016 is to provide all agents with vests that will be rotated between those who work in different shifts. Among these are the 1,500 that have been announced.

Ciudadanos Cat fight Torrevieja's Ciudadanos, the Citizens Party, has always been viewed with suspicion by many in Torrevieja. They started off well before the election, then decided they would not stand in the local elections, then decided they would stand, then fired members, and other members resigned and then they turned face on their political views and sided with the Socialists, rather than the PP, turning their backs on the faith that many voters had given them, who voted for a centre party and not a left wing one. They have fallen out internally with each other, had three different factions at one time and at other times their two councillors Pilar Gomez Magan and Paqui Parra have been known to have differing points of views as to the actual aims and guidelines that the party should take. Things became even more interesting last week as a 'cat fight' between two party members broke out with Guardia Civil being called into action and the ubiquitous denuncias being issued. The meeting of the Executive board of Ciudadanos ended with two representatives of the party pulling and shoving and being anything but professional showing the divide in the party followed by

complaints to the Guardia. The formation of Albert Rivera's party in the Alicante town of Torrevieja has been a tinderbox for months. A powder keg finally blew up last Tuesday with insults, attacks and crusades in the barracks of the Guardia Civil. According to reliable sources, the incident happened between Rosario Soler and Pilar Gomez, who presently leads the local party although over the last few months she has expressed their differences in private and in public through social networks. During the executive meeting tensions rose after asking Soler about funding and party accounts by Gomez, who is the local president and municipal spokesman at City Hall. The questions from Gomez ignited tempers between the two sectors, some because they understood that there was no transparency in the accounts of the party and the others because they took the question as an accusation itself. Lofty words, insults and accusations followed and finally both women eventually embroiling into a slapping match and exchange of blows that only ended when the other directive members of the party intervened to separate them. Apparently Rosario Soler finished the fight with a torn blouse, several blows to the face and various scratches and bruises on various parts of the body. She then went to the emergency room of a health centre in the town to see a doctor about the neck and face injuries she had received. Later she went to the Guardia Civil to lodge a complaint against the local president of the Citizens Party. A couple of hours later, apparently Pilar Gomez also filed a complaint for assault against her fellow party member, although it seems

that she had not been injured. The Guardia Civil then spent several hours at the court house and the judge who is responsible for investigating complaints and has determined that on Monday the situation is resolved with a quick trial for a misdemeanour of insults and aggression. For several months now Ciudadanos have been trying to avoid an internal civil war in Torrevieja. In fact, the national leadership of Albert Rivera knows about the disputes and has possible plans to dissolve the Executive and appoint a manager to lead the party. However, that decision has not crystallized so far. And now the situation that has changed because Ciudadanos and dissolved the entire executive. The fact that one of the participants in the incident, Rosario Soler is also the sister of another torrevejense councilman, Domingo Soler is also interesting and maybe part of the internal conflicts. Domingo Soler is the only centre right member of the Pentapartido Council and the sole representative of the APTCe party which he formed after leaving the PP. He is a former Partido Popular deputy mayor back in the days of Mayor Hernandez Mateo and a deputy provincial councillor and leader of the PP of Alicante.

Ireland and the Region Phoenix International School host of Murcia shake hands International Cricket Tournament

Irish Airline 'Aer Lingus' is to operate between Dublin and San Javier from March 27th, 2016, with four weekly flights, as reported by the director of the Institute of Tourism, Manuel Fernández-Delgado. In a press release Fernandez-Delgado noted that the establishment of this new route, which will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, will enable the Region and Ireland to connect during the middle and high seasons with a total of ten weekly flights, accounting for flights from Ryanair also. The presentation of the new route took place in Ireland, before more than 50 wholesale agencies, who were also shown the tourist destination potential for the Costa Calida-Murcia region, as Ireland is an expanding market that grew almost 74 percent in 2014, by providing a total 30,498 tourists to the region. This market was worth around 24.4 million euros, almost double that of 2013, which represented a market share of 2.8 percent of total spending by foreign visitors in the region. the general director of the Institute of Tourism has indicated that the Region has 3,421 tourist establishments of all types and seats 50,101, and the number of places that more has increased in the last ten years has been the housings 5 and 4 star, which represents 53 percent of the hotels.

Alarm calls were certainly not necessary on Thursday 3rd March and the excitement in the air was palpable as the long awaited day of the inter-schools cricket tournament finally got under way. The event, organised by Neil Brook on behalf of Cricket España and hosted by Phoenix International School at CDM, Orihuela Costa, was attended by El Limonar International School, Murcia; Laude Newton College, Elche; Kings College, Murcia and Phoenix International School. This was the first time that these four schools had been brought together in a head to head sporting extravaganza of this nature and you could certainly feel the tension in the air as each school got behind their teams and cheered on their players. Students were impeccably well behaved demonstrating a true sporting attitude and showing themselves to be a credit to their schools. Visiting students from Norlington School for Boys, who had made the trip over to the Costa Blanca, courtesy of Essex County Cricket Club, were on hand to keep score and act as umpires as the games commenced thus enhancing their own coaching and leadership skills. It soon became apparent just how evenly matched the teams were with some outstanding cricketing skills being demonstrated by some extremely talented individuals. Spectators were treated to some truly inspirational cricket and found themselves on the edge of their seats waiting

to hear the results. In the end each school had something to celebrate. Kings College Murcia won the coveted primary trophy beating Phoenix International School by only a very small margin; Kings College was also gracious in victory for the boys’ secondary team, narrowly snatching the trophy from El Limonar International School, Murcia and finally Phoenix International School were just pipped at the post by Laude Newton College who raised the trophy for the girls’ team. Every player should feel extremely proud of themselves for creating such an exciting atmosphere and for making this a day to remember. Once all the trophies had been presented, Keith Healey, Director at Phoenix International School was proud to present a hand engraved memento to the Deputy Head of Norlington School for Boys, Paul Hobbs who was delighted to say a few words on behalf of his school. Once all the formalities were over, students from Phoenix International School and Norlington School for Boys could not resist an impromptu friendly football match to finish off the day in style. Acknowledgements must go to Neil Brook and Cricket España, Essex County Cricket Club, Norlington School for Boys, El Limonar International School, Murcia; Laude Newton College; Kings College, Murcia and Phoenix International School for making the event a huge success.

Unfinished park is fenced off

On Monday afternoon, February 29th, a heated discussion took place at Casa Ventura in La Siesta, Torrevieja, between local residents and representatives from the Town Hall seeking answers as to the future of the La Siesta Park project which has now been fenced off and is out of bounds to local residents and visitors. What was planned to be a showpiece park, along with the park in Los Balcones, came to abrupt halt last year, when the Councillor in charge, Victor Fernandez promptly pulled the plug on the project and as a result has had to return around 180,000â‚Ź to the Valencian Government for not completing the Employment Workshop project. More than 100 local, concerned residents were present but only Carlos Gonzalez and Councillor Carmen Morate attended from the town hall. The meeting had been expressly designed to find answers from Councillor Victor Fernandez however his nonattendance was said to be because he finished work at 400pm and didn't speak any English, as explained by Councillor Morate. Morate found herself in an uncomfortable hot seat and was without answers from many of the residents, showing her inexperience of dealing with such a crowd. However, this was not her fault, as she was not fully briefed by the equally inexperienced, when it comes to councillor duties, Victor Fernandez who local residents commented that he was afraid to face the situation in person. Morate said that the park was fenced off because it was unsafe and it was cheaper to seal it off with the wire fence than it would have been to pay a claim if someone had fallen or had an accident on the park. She said that local residents had asked for the park to be fenced off, however those attending denied this fact and Morate was obviously flustered by the somewhat hostile crowd. Morate said that the park will be finished within 3 years as the Council have not budgeted for the park and that it was impossible for her to even order a single pencil or pen, unless it had been put in the 2016 budget, which was approved in 2015. However, this wrangled many residents who wondered how she is receiving more than 300,000â‚Ź to expand the Animal Welfare department and conditions in the city, which are required they admitted, but had not been budgeted for until the end of 2015, so residents wondered why the park had been neglected. Some of the local residents expressed their points of view, although a few had

no knowledge of the background regarding the situation and made fools of themselves, through their ignorance. The conclusion was that someone was needed to be the negotiator/communicator on behalf of the residents to discuss points with the Town Hall and Ken and Lynda Adams have taken on this task. Councillor Morate was constantly barraged with questions she did not know answers to and came up with reasons off the top of her head, which showed her political inexperience. She mentioned that Victor Fernandez did not attend due to not only finishing his work at 4.00pm but because he does not speak English more than once as she looked more and more uncomfortable about being placed into a position that she should not have found herself in. She said that the budget for the fencing comes out a budget for fencing, which is a generic fencing fund and added that nothing could be done this year, 2016, as it was not budgeted for last year. One Norwegian gentleman said that in Norway, such a park was not a BIG project, but quite a small and minor project. He said that for less than 5,000â‚Ź, it would be normal for a farmer and his team of workers, to clear such a park of rocks and debris so that it was safe to walk around, without any problem. Morate was surprised by this fact as she through the project was a major undertaking, again showing her lack of background knowledge about parks and gardens. She kept saying that at the last meeting the residents asked for the park to be fenced off. This caused much discussion and shouts of 'not true' and the residents there denied this. She asked the residents, that since she was a member of the Green Party, did they not think that she would like to have a nice park here. As is typical of most Press Conferences held by the Pentapartido, Carmen had to mention that the PP had been in power for 27 years and had never done anything with the park, so everything was their fault. Many residents noted that the various councillors from the pentapartido would not be getting back into power next time. However, the fact that she and Carlos attended the meeting was appreciated but many questioned the point of holding such a meeting if Victor Fernandez could not be there, since it was no more complicated than having a translator on hand to translate for him.

Two more months of uncertainty await, as Socialists lose second vote

As was widely expected, Socialist Party (PSOE) chief Pedro Sánchez was unsuccessful on Friday evening at a second investiture vote, at which deputies in Spain’s lower house once more rejected his candidature as prime minister. Sánchez had already lost a first vote on Wednesday in Congress, after a day of debate. In the wake of inconclusive general elections, held on December 20, Sánchez needed a majority in that first round if he were to be successful. But from a total of 350 seats, he only counted on 90 from his own group and 40 from emerging center-right group Ciudadanos, with whom the PSOE signed a policy agreement last week paving the way for this week’s bid to form a minority government. There were 219 votes against and one abstention on Wednesday – Sánchez needed 176 votes for an absolute majority. At the second vote, on Friday evening, Sánchez would have only needed a simple majority to become prime minister – i.e. more yes votes than no. But once again, he failed to garner support outside of his party and Ciudadanos. The only difference between tonight’s vote and Wednesday’s was a vote in favour from the Canarian Coalition, which voted in favour instead of abstaining. As such, Sánchez secured 131 votes in favour, and 219 against – far from the simple majority he needed. Unlike on Wednesday, when party chiefs had the whole day to debate Sánchez’s plans for a government – plans that were harshly attacked by the incumbent

Popular Party (PP) and emerging anti-austerity group Podemos – Sánchez had just 10 minutes to lay out his bid to form a government, while other parties had between three and five minutes each in response to state their positions ahead of the vote. Sánchez’s speech touched on corruption, which he defined as “the venom that weakens democracy.” He also pledged to reform the Spanish Constitution, which he described as being “the best inheritance of our parents,” but one that was in need of change. “The ambition of forming a government is in your hands,” he concluded. “Change can only come from pacts, dialogue and cross-party agreements. In a few

minutes it will be clear whether we have been able to think in the general interest or not.” Then came acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s speech, which he opened by clearly and concisely stating that his party would “be voting no” to the investiture of the Socialist Party candidate. “You have not come here with a real program, one that would have secured you the support you need,” Rajoy said in reference to Sánchez’s plan for government. “As such, we cannot support a fictional program.” Then it was the turn of Spain’s thirdmost-voted party at the elections, antiausterity group Podemos. Its leader, pony-tailed former political science professor Pablo Iglesias, used his time to remind Sánchez that a leftist coalition was possible. “You know how we are going to vote,” Iglesias told the assembled deputies. “But tonight we can start to work so that there is a government like the one in Valencia [where a leftist coalition is in place in the region]. I accept the condition that the PSOE be in that government, but accept that the rest of the progressive parties are there too. Let’s all compromise and start to work together.” In the wake of Friday night’s vote, another two-month period will now begin during which the parties can seek a new agreement to form a government. If that fails, Spain will be forced to hold fresh elections later in the year, most likely in June.

Spanish authorities seize 20,000 military uniforms bound for ISIS, Nusra Front

Spanish police have intercepted a shipment of 20,000 military uniforms that were being sent to ISIS and another jihadi group. The National Police discovered three containers of goods in a port in Valencia and one in Algeciras. They were labelled as 'second-hand clothes' to avoid detection and were bound for Syria and Iraq. The uniforms - which did not come from Spain - were linked to an international network that offered logistical and financial support to Islamic State and the al Qaeda-linked al Nusra Front, Spanish media reported. The network was smashed in a February 7 operation, where cops found records of the military shipment.

A statement from the ministry read: "The containers which carried the military uniforms were declared as second-hand clothes so as to not raise suspicions and be able to pass different customs inspections without any difficulty." Seven people have been arrested. Five were Spanish nationals and one of the suspects was a used clothes importer. "With the roughly 20,000 military uniforms and accessories, it would have been possible to equip an entire army, which would be ready to enter into combat in any of the battlegrounds which jihadist terrorist organisations have round the world," the interior ministry added.

Boy, 11, reports mother for driving Spanish royals knew my business, him around under the influence princess's husband tells court A woman has been arrested in Girona province after her 11year-old son reported her for driving him and his 10-year-old sibling around while drunk. The boy pretended he needed a bathroom break to force his mother to stop at a gas station. While inside, he took advantage to ask one of the workers to call the police because his mother was drinking and was in no condition to drive. The woman had that morning picked her children up from a juvenile facility – where they live under the care of the regional government – to spend the day with them. The 46-year-old has around 30 prior convictions for theft and acts of violence against both her children and teachers at the Educational Action Residential Center (CRAE) in Girona. At around 7.30pm on Saturday, when they were driving along the C-35 highway in Vidreres, in La Selva district, the eldest child realized that his mother was in no fit state to be driving and asked her to stop at a gas station. A few minutes’ later members of the Mossos d’Esquadra

regional police and citizen security personnel arrived on the scene along with an ambulance. The mother was very agitated and insulted both her children and the police officers on the scene. In light of her condition, the police asked her to take a Breathalyzer and drug test, which she refused. The woman was subsequently arrested and her children were sent back to the juvenile facility. The Directorate General for Children and Adolescent Services (DGAIA) has said it will issue a report on the events once it has completed its talks with the children, family members and the police officers involved in the arrest. The Childhood and Adolescence Attention Team (EAIA) has also said it will revise the mother’s visitation rights to her children.

Spanish town bans bizarre duck-chasing seaside festival The Costa Brava resort of Roses has decided to ban a century-old tradition in which locals chased ducks in the sea as part of the town’s summer festivities. The bizarre “hunt the duck” festival has been taking pace in Roses for 97 years, but last August’s celebration drew negative publicity when a participant used one of the unfortunate birds to strike an animal rights protester who was filming the event. The video, in which an angry woman in a swimsuit swings a duck at the camera, has since been seen 360,000 times on YouTube. Animal rights organisations such as Spain’s national Pacma party called for a ban on the event in which white ducks are thrown from a boat into the sea for bathers to catch in return for prizes. The council in Roses voted earlier this week to end the duck-chasing tradition after a citizens’ group presented a motion to declare the town “respectful towards animals”. “Times move on and society is changing course. Neither Roses nor its people, who have made a genuine effort to keep our traditions alive, deserve to be criticised anymore”, said local mayor Montserrat Mindan after the motion was passed by eight votes to seven. In a statement, Pacma called the council’s decision a “historic triumph”. “This move shows that authorities can

no longer govern with their backs to popular sentiment, which is increasingly demanding tough action against the exploitation and mistreatment of animals”, said Pilar Ferràndiz, the leader of Pacma in Girona province. The motion banning cruelty to animals also applies to Roses’ bullrunning event, which will not take place this year. Many towns in Catalonia maintain ‘correbous’, or bull running, which in some cases involves the animals having flaming torches attached to their horns. Catalonia’s parliament banned bullfighting in the region in 2010, but allowed for the continuation of popular street events such as the ‘correbous’. Thirteen men were killed across Spain in bull runs last year. Last month the Balearic Islands regional parliament voted in favour of a motion to ban bullfighting in the archipelago but has yet to pass a binding law on the matter.

The husband of Spain's Princess Cristina said on Wednesday the royal family was fully aware of the business deals of his not-for-profit organization, the subject of an investigation that has landed him and his wife in court on charges of tax fraud. Allegations that Inaki Urdangarin embezzled millions of euros in public funds through his charity the Noos Foundation have snared King Felipe's sister, along with 16 others, in the trial that has tapped into popular disgust against corruption. The former Olympic handball player told the court: "I never would do anything without consulting (Carlos) Garcia Revenga, for example, so that he would be up to date with everything that we were doing," referring to a former royal secretary. Urdangarin and Cristina, the first Spanish royal to stand in the dock, have

denied any wrongdoing. The trial, a major embarrassment for Spain's royal family, started in a court on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca in January. Urdangarin is accused of nine crimes including fraud and tax evasion with a combined possible jail sentence of 19and-a-half years. Cristina is charged with two counts of being an accessory to tax fraud, which carry a combined sentence of up to eight years. The Spanish legal system is under pressure to get tough on corruption after a string of graft cases involving the establishment from the main political parties to businessmen. Acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's own People's Party (PP) has been engulfed by scandals that could thwart its chances of retaining power, following the arrest of several of the party's leadership in Madrid and Valencia.

Wish You Were Here - Austin Slack

Actually we really don’t wish the phenomenal 16 year old guitar player from Caravaca to be here as he is currently touring the Dark Side of the Moon! Most often of all he plays with local band The Streeters loved by many, in fact last year The Streeters performed over 260 gigs to various crowds from Almeria to Benidorm. Whilst the Streeters continue with their never ending tour – Austin is currently performing as lead guitarist in the Pink Floyd Symphonic which started its tour last week in La Nucia. This amazing spectacular of the music of Pink Floyd which has already received rave reviews – sees Austin strutting his stuff and obviously his guitar alongside a 40 piece orchestra. The show features the most loved Pink Floyd songs with full rock band as well the orchestra and international singers. It’s truly amazing to see our local boy show off his undoubted talents in such a spectacular arena. The tour takes Austin all over Spain and the islands until the end of May with three dates for Alicante – at the Teatro Principal 28th, 29th and 30th April and one date in Murcia being the 24th April. He will still perform with The Streeters who still have gigs locally in between the demands of the tour and in typical Streeters fashion the band have invited some serious stand ins to cover whilst Austin is away so all you Streeters fans – know that you are in for a special treat. Most of the fans know of the bands propensity to get local singers and musicians to perform with them, also at times members of the audience have been known to throw a tambourine or two around. So whilst we will miss Austin for sure, the

show goes on and his place is being kept warm by some very noteworthy musicians. Last year was an impressive year for Austin Slack, in August he played guitar with the biggest and most successful band in the Spanish speaking world, Maná, in Benidorm to a packed football stadium, Estadio Municipal de Foietes. No other Latin rock act consistently sells more albums and concert tickets than Maná. Last year Austin also performed with Joanne Shaw Taylor in Javea and Temas Incómodos in Barcelona. In previous years he began to receive invites to perform and record material with other musicians, including the band ‘Neuman’; and Spanish Indie Rockers ‘Love of Lesbian’, who invited him to join them for a few songs during their two sold out concerts in Murcia. Last year Austin also recorded The Streeters first EP – Tainted Love, a brilliant take on this well-known song. It was during his performance with Maná that his playing caught the attention of Juan Fran Senabre from the musical production company “Moon World Records” and Austin has now been given the biggest opportunity of his short playing career. He struck his first musical note on a stage in a small town called Moratalla in 2011 and has not looked back since. He went on to play in bands up and down the coast first with Magnetik Surf and Magnetik Jukebox and latterly with The Streeters and quickly also became known as El Nino Magnetico : The Magnetic Boy Child. Austin is certainly

charismatic; his talent just reverberates off the guitar strings, his ability to adapt to different genres frankly staggering. His stage presence is enviable, especially for someone who is just 16, and yet he is still a lad who likes nothing more than chocolate hobnobs. Known to all of his friends and fans as “El Niño Magnetico”, Austin Slack was born in the U.K. in Rotherham and raised on music with his Dad and Manager, Bryn, encouraging his growing interest from an early age. The family moved to Caravaca de la Cruz, Murcia from Rotherham when Austin was four, where he grew up listening to Spanish acts. His dad bought his first Spanish guitar for him when he was only nine. He did take some private guitar lessons, and also attended a workshop with the Animeros of Caravaca, but Austin says that his best teaching tool was the internet, and he would sit and watch hours and hours’ worth of tutorial videos on You Tube perfecting his guitar licks. It soon became apparent that Austin was a natural to Mum and Dad Bryn and Lisa, and now can we see his apparently effortless talent in action. Fender Spain - the world renowned guitar manufacturer - recently featured this gifted young man on their Facebook page. His star is clearly rising. Where next for the boy from Caravaca? To be frank the Slack camp are pretty tight lipped about that and who can blame them, with Austin’s star shining so brightly who would want to jinx that, so you will just have to watch this space.

Back Stage with Nigel Burchill If you love the king of rock and roll, look no further. Nigel Burchill is an Elvis Tribute artist with a passion for bringing music and history of the world’s greatest star to life, its pure entertainment, great nostalgia and 100% rock and roll!! Nigel´s show tells the story of Elvis from his early years, his time in the army and the much loved films he made, an incredible amount of number one songs and of course the iconic costumes he wore. and you don´t have to remember the king to enjoy it- a real family show, this is entertainment for all ages, no need for heartbreak hotel, get ready to shake rattle and roll! The performance lasts an entire evening, includes the music and much, much more. From his rock and roll and gospel roots, to hit records, to the classic comeback, to the 70´s, Nigel spans the Kings’ entire career. Along the way he tells the story of Elvis, stories, snippets of information and facts and figures, all to build a picture of the greatest entertainer that ever lived. But what really makes each show unique is the audience, Nigel doesn´t just stand and sing, his act isn't a one sided love affair, Like the man himself, he interacts with the crowd; audience participation plays a big role in the experience. As Nigel says, “get on your blue suede shoes and get ready to jive, march, do the rock-a-hula, and act like a hound dog!” Nigel is based in Mazarron and performs for commercial businesses (i.e. bars, restaurants and pubs), private parties, fiestas, pool parties and anything in between all up and down the coast. Not for nothing is Nigel billed as "the Costas favourite tribute act”. Nigel started in the business when someone told him

he looked like ‘The King’ and asked him to sing an Elvis song on the karaoke. Naturally enough Nigel’s biggest influence is Elvis. He still gets butterflies whether he performs in front of six people or 10,000. A former bodyguard, Nigel has two best moments, once when his little boy saw Elvis on the TV and shouted ‘Daddy’ at the television and secondly when he sang to the cast of ‘Benidorm’ which he has done twice. His worst moment? The night when someone stole his bag with his stage boots in and he had to do the show in his trainer’s. “Embarrassing!” The best piece of advice Nigel received was from wellknown former local resident and artist Ricky Valence who told him “Elvis would be proud of you son - keep rock n’ roll alive”. Nigel’s advice is that anyone starting out in the business should always try and be themselves and not attempt to be someone else. Editor’s note: err.. I think you meant to say unless you’re a tribute act Nigel. You can view Nigel’s profile at artistsdirectspain.com/nigel-burchil – and book him direct on 605 180 894/654 843 011

After Hours at The AULD DUBLINER The Auld Dubliner is at Lomas Cabo Roig on the roundabout. Contact them on 602 436 455 and find out what they have going on at whatsoncostablanca.com/aulddubliner Tell us about yourselves My name is Damien and I am originally from Ireland where I spent over 30 years as a college lecturer in engineering and construction. I own and run the Auld Dubliner bar in Lomas Cabo Roig and have been living in Spain for 4 years. What made you open a bar? The opportunity arose to buy a wellestablished business along with my brother-in-law so we went for it. 2 years ago he wanted to move on so I continued alone. Now it is me plus my loyal staff Catherine, Donall and Rain. Where did the inspiration for the name come from? Well I may be ‘auld’ but I’m not from Dublin. However the bar was already long-established and was well-known by that name so I saw no reason to change it.

Who does the cooking? And how would you describe your style? At this time (winter) we are just doing sandwiches and snacks. However we are looking to do breakfasts and lunches in the summer. We had a part-time chef with us last summer and we’re hoping he’ll come back to us this year. What’s your favourite dish on the menu? Going back to last summer our chef did a lovely steak pie with chips. It was

basic but really tasty. Favourite day of the week? At this time of year definitely Saturday as there is so much going on. We show sports during the afternoon, including premier league football then in the evening we have karaoke with our resident host Sammy Starr. Always good fun. There are a couple of things I should add. One is that one of our staff members, Rain O’Connor, is a brilliant singer and entertainer in her own right and regularly hosts karaoke and entertainment nights here in the summertime. Leading on from that we step up the entertainment considerably during the summer months providing live entertainment or karaoke 7 nights a week in high season. This year we hope to include musical theme nights once a month or so; such as country nights, songs from films and musicals etc. Any interesting tales? Well despite the fact that we are very popular with holidaymakers during the

summer we are first and foremost a community bar catering for the residents in our area. We are used to some of our regulars having loads to drink (always behaving themselves I must add) and then stumbling out having forgotten to pay their bar bill. We never worry because we always know they’ll be back anxiously asking if they’ve forgotten to pay. The amusing thing is that sometimes they come back in the next day apologizing for forgetting to settle up and then hearing us tell them that it was ok as they actually HAD paid the night before. One of our summer residents comes in every day for breakfast. “Breakfast” consists, without fail, of a Smirnoff Ice followed by 2 Sambuca’s. Amazing thing is he never seems to get drunk!

Understanding Hatha Yoga Hatha yoga is modern yoga as we know it. Every form of yoga that focuses on the physical practice, or asanas, falls under the umbrella of Hatha yoga. It centres on breathing, and requires students to maintain their breath while in sometimes challenging poses. If you’ve been practicing Hatha Yoga for a while, you may be surprised by these little known facts about it. 1. We Have a Fish to Thank for Practicing Hatha Yoga The first documented references to Hatha yoga were in 1100 AD. It is thought that the concept of Hatha was conceived by Shiva (a Hindu deity) while he sat on a lonely island. Later, assuming they were alone, Shiva explained his ideas to his wife, Parvati, but a fish overheard. The fish later became an enlightened being and saint named Matsyendranath, or “lord of the fishes,” the man credited as the founder of Hatha yoga. As these ancient stories do, the one of Shiva and Matsyendranath has taken many forms over the years, but it no doubt provides us with a framework for the landscape of the early practice. 2. Hatha Literally Means Sun and Moon Like all yoga terms, Hatha comes from Sanskrit. “Ha” means sun, and “tha” means moon. The sun and moon are common themes in yoga; you’re probably familiar with Sun Salutations and possibly Moon Salutations. The sun is thought to represent masculine energy, and the moon feminine. Therefore, as we practice Hatha yoga, we are balancing these two energies within ourselves.

You’ll need to achieve this balance both mentally and physically to reap all the benefits of a Hatha class. 3. All Physical Yoga is Hatha Yoga — But Your Studio May Say Otherwise Yoga studios today like to come up with creative names for their classes. In reality, any class that pairs breath with movement is a Hatha class, be it Vinyasa, Ashtanga, or Power yoga. However, most studios do make a distinction between a Hatha and a Vinyasa class. Vinyasa yoga classes will follow a dynamic, flowing sequence with breath matched to movement. Hatha classes will likely focuses on holding poses for a longer period of time, without a flowing sequence to connect them. This does not mean that it’s easier by any means.

Holding poses for an extended period of time takes great strength and mental focus. 4. Getting into Difficult Poses is Not the Goal Traditionally, the goal of practicing the yoga asanas was not to build muscle or perfect balance. The physical practice was always a means to ready the body for meditation. Today, most casual yoga students have other goals in mind when they come to class. They want to de-stress, build strength, improve flexibility, and just relax. These are all wonderful reasons to come to yoga. As students become more involved in the physical practice, they may be called to try their hand at a meditation practice as well, and find that that is where the real change starts to happen. 5. 20 Minutes a Day Can Sharpen Your Mind There are countless pieces of evidence about the benefits of Hatha yoga for our bodies and minds. But perhaps the most attractive benefit for yoga sceptics is its capacity to improve brain function in just 20 minutes a day. By slowing down, calming our thoughts, and getting oxygen flowing, yoga can help improve brain cognition, memory, and concentration. This could help get some get some unexpected students to show up in class like corporate CEOs and sports players. HATHA YOGA IS THE SCIENCE OF USING THE BODY TO PREPARE ONESELF FOR THE ULTIMATE POSSIBILITY. ~SADHGURU

Home Remedies for Bad Breath

Everyone loves a good home remedy. They usually save money, are easy to use and have a feel-good factor because there is no doctor or pharmacist involved. From home remedies to cure bad breath to "grandma cures" for smelly feet, someone somewhere will have a clever idea to cure what ails you. Chronic bad breath home remedies are plentiful, with suggestions involving everything from drinking water

laced with mint leaves and lemon juice to scraping the tongue twice a day. As long as the supposed cure is not dangerous and doesn't involve untested substances, they're worth a try, especially if the halitosis problem is particularly worrisome. Herbal remedies Chewing on parsley or mint leaves may not be everyone's idea of a delicious treat, but many swear by it as a way of

eradicating foul odours from the mouth, especially following odiferous foods such as garlic or dairy. Some herbal teas can help freshen the mouth as well as helping to hydrate the body (contrary to the dehydrating effect that regular tea has). A drop or two of peppermint oil on or under the tongue can work wonders to help cure bad breath. Clove oil can work too but to some people, it tastes unpleasant and can be reminiscent of the dentist's surgery. Try also chewing sunflower seeds and following with a good swish to rinse and drink a big glass of water. Eat yogurt daily that contains acidophilus and bifidus for good gut cleansing. Physical fixes Tongue scraping is becoming a very popular and quick home remedy for bad breath. It's a simple matter of scraping the coating off the tongue and thereby eliminating the hiding places for the multitude of bacteria that thrive there. There are special tongue scrapers available in pharmacies, or you can simply use a spoon that you reserve for the task. Whatever you use, keep it clean and, unless stainless steel, replace it regularly. Water, water, water Keeping your body

adequately hydrated is an essential part of keeping bad breath under control. The drier your mouth is, the smellier it potentially is. You may notice this after doing strenuous exercise or if you're really thirsty. Drink water all day long. Keep your toothbrush handy One toothbrush at home and one at work is the ideal solution for maintaining a fresh mouth. It may be called a 'home remedy' for bad breath, but everyone knows that if you keep your

mouth and teeth clean, there is less chance for bacteria to thrive. While you're at it, keep a purse sized pack of dental floss with you and before leaving a restaurant or entering a meeting, do a quick floss and swish in the bathroom. Remember, all the home remedies in the world will not help if there is something underlying that is causing your halitosis. See your doctor or dentist if you feel you need further advice.

Four Reasons to Cut Down on Alcohol

The short-term side effects of drinking too much alcohol include weight problems, headaches, upset stomach, anxiety, stress, depression, poor concentration, difficulty sleeping and raised blood pressure. But there are lots of more serious long-term health consequences, too. These include accidents and injuries, liver and heart disease, cancers of the mouth and throat, strokes, memory loss and dementia. If you're drinking inside the limits, keep up the good work. If not, it's time to cut down and enjoy the health benefits that will come when you do. • Your health: Lowering alcohol intake is the most important way of reducing your risk of cancer, after giving up smoking and eating a healthy diet. Cutting back also boosts energy, so you'll feel more inclined to exercise, which is proven to improve your all-round health.

• Your looks: Alcohol dehydrates the skin, making it show signs of aging sooner. You might also bruise more easily, as alcohol depletes the body's levels of vitamin C and dilates capillaries, leading to tiny thread veins appearing on the skin. • Your weight: Drinking affects your liver metabolism, which causes bloodsugar levels to drop, and levels of insulin to rise, both of which stimulate appetite. Alcohol may also decrease the production of the hormone leptin, which gives us that full-up feeling, so we eat more. • Your happiness: Alcohol works as a depressant, and contributes to mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression and memory loss. Being more in control of your drinking habits can lift your mood and give your self-esteem a huge boost.

The history of Spanish Beer

Though Spain is mostly known as a wine producing and consuming country, the truth is that beer is a very important beverage in the country as well. Like wine, beer is a fermented beverage so it is probably quite old as the technology for these kinds of drinks appeared very early. There are no certainties though as to who brought it to the peninsular. The formula may have been inherited from the Greeks or the Phoenicians who traded in the south of the country and some areas of the the Mediterranean. There are other theories that say it came with Lybian soldiers. Be it as it may, we have references from Pliny the Elder, who did not like beer from Hispania, that the Iberians drank far too much of it. Unlike wine, Spanish beer went rather unnoticed in Europe for hundreds of years until emperor Charles V came to Spain from Flandes, bringing with him his court and their strange customs. Charles was born in Ghentt in 1500. In time he would become the most powerful man in the world of his time, but as condition to access the Spanish crown, he must comply to learn Spanish and live in Castile. Flandes was not a wine producing country and therefore had quite a taste for beer, which the king imported to the Iberian country. The Charles hired a brew master from central Europe and installed a small beer factory in a monastery. The Spanish beer factory was built next to the Manzanares' river bank due to the great quality of its water (the Spanish capital was

Valladolid then, not Madrid by the way) and it functioned from 1537, manufacturing beer for the King, who liked to drink it ice cold, to his doctor's dismay, and it closed in 1558, when the king abdicated and retired to a monastery in Yuste (Cáceres). However the king's taste for beer was not shared by the people, who hated him. His son and successor Philip II commanded the reestablishment of beer production in the riviera of the Manzanares, in this case Spain was the capital of Madrid, since the courts had been recently been transferred from Valladolid to the current capital. The number of large factories of Spanish beer varied from then on, but despite the fact that beer had no popularity to speak of, from then on there would always be beer production in Spain. Still the commoners and gentry alike did not really have a taste for the golden beverage. Perhaps it really didn't have much to do with King Charles V at all, but rather the fact that wine in Spain was good and cheap. Spanish beer factories in Madrid opened in 1611, most named after their owners, who were either Flemish, Alsacian or German, anything but Spanish. Soon some rules and regulations were made in regards to beer manufacture, among them the ingredients: wheat, barley and hop. If anything else was used the responsible would suffer a penalty.

Even so, no one in Spain really liked beer and most references we find don't give any praise. Only during the beginning of the 20th century did it gain enough popularity for large factories to open. Mahou (Madrid) opened in 1890, Águila in 1900, Cruz del Campo (today Cruzcampo) in 1904 and Damm in 1910. However the dice did turn and during the 60's it became the preferred summer drink for two reasons: its low alcoholic content and that it was very refreshing. Unlike previous centuries, beer came to be cheaper than wine, perhaps this fact contributed to its increasing popularity. Nowadays, beer is one of the drinks of choice when you head to a Spanish bar and can often be cheaper than most soft drinks! It is not uncommon for people to order a 'caña' which is a small glass of beer and then be served with a tapa as well. These small glasses of beer mean that you can drink the beer and it doesn't go warm by the time you get to the bottom as it might with a pint glass. It also means that is easier to hop from one bar to another as it doesn't take long to finish a caña. 'Cañas y tapas' is a great thing to do with your friends that you might meet in Spain.

Arab influence in Spanish Cuisine

It really isn't possible to speak about Spanish food or the Mediterranean diet without noting the importance of the rich legacy of Al-Andalus gastronomy. Much of the current cuisine of the Iberian country is heir of the Muslim tradition, an empire that occupied up to 70% of the country at some point. This occupation extended from 711 to 1492, the year that Spain was unified and America was discovered. Al-Andalus gastronomy is much reflected in the Mediterranean diet, with some variations of course, such as the consumption of pork. This inheritance is specially marked in Andalusia, where gazpachos and other cold soups are originally from, but this influence is also reflected in other areas such as Alicante (Valencia) where a typical nougat is made, Murcia, Almeria and many more regions. Just like in any other gastronomy, different food was consumed according to social class, cities and rural areas. The preparation methods varied as well. The tradition of Al-Andalus gastronomy is very rich and varied. They had less prohibitions than Jews, in fact mainly pork and fermented drinks were forbidden, however this precept was not always respected or followed 100% in Muslim Spain. The Arab tradition in Spain also contributed to the Spanish vocabulary. If you study Spanish in Spain you will learn all about this. Many of the Moorish dishes and ingredients that made it into the Spanish language begin with the letter 'a' such as the culinary words like alb贸ndiga (meatballs), aceite (oil), aceituna (olives), arroz (rice), etc. The higher classes consumed little or no fish and shellfish. There was no religious prohibition related to

products from the sea, but rather it was the doctors that discouraged them from the kitchens, arguing that it's pestilent odour and strong taste was not healthy. Nowadays fried fish is very common in the gastronomy of the southern Spanish region of Andalusia. However the Al-andalus gastronomy of the more humble classes, especially those who lived near the coasts ate plenty of fish; raw, fried or salted, the most common were sardines and tuna. In fact, one of the main cookery techniques that the Arabs brought to Spain was pickling, especially fish in vinegar solutions. Today, you will find that pickled anchovies and sardines are commonly eaten as a tapa when served on a piece of bread. There are many products that the Arabs introduced in the Iberian Peninsula: eggplant, spinach, sugar cane, rice, apricots and citrics among others. It's true that olives have been cultivated in Spain from pre historic times, but the olive culture increased considerably under the Al-Andalus Empire. The introduction of irrigation ditches, cisterns and draining systems contributed largely to it. But it wasn't only the olive production that increased with these improvements, but all kinds of crops.

The meats that the Arabs preferred were lamb and poultry; basically with little grease. They would be marinated overnight in milk or vinegar, seasoned with vegetables such as onion, garlic, fennel and olives and spiced with cinnamon and coriander. Overall, the Al-Andalus diet was very healthy, especially compared to those typical from other regions of Spain with little or no Arab influence. The Moors brought heaps of technology to the Iberian Peninsula, but not all of them were for food. It is thanks to the Moors that the Spanish learnt how to use stills for distilling alcohol. The Moors didn't drink alcohol for religious purposes so they have developed these stills to create alcohols for medicinal purposes instead, as well as to produce perfumes. However, the Spanish used them to make alcohols that were able to be drunk such as licor de orujo, which is made from grape must. Other areas of the Spanish gastronomy that were affected by the Moors include desserts. The Moors brought sugarcane to Spain and taught the Spanish how to refine it. This helped to revolutionise Spanish cakes and other sweets which has generally been made in a similar fashion to bread and then sweetened with honey. Other desserts influenced by the Moorish culture include arrope, a syrup which is used in a similar way to marmalade. Make sure that you try out some of these dishes, and do not forget that it was the Moors who brought them to Spain all those centuries ago. Religion has played a large part in Spain's history, but as you will surely see, it is most visible in its gastronomy!

Rental housing hits highest price since 2011

One of the few areas that has seen a strong recovery from the financial crisis is the rental housing market. According to the latest data, the average income in Alicante is 547 euros, although there is a big gap between neighbourhoods and differences of over a thousand euros between some floors, especially going upwards towards the Penthouse levels. Rental prices have recovered from the huge drops experienced during the worst years of the crisis in the city of Alicante. They have not only returned to values before the recession but the latest data collected by the Observatorio de Vivienda en Alquiler del Patronato Municipal de la Vivienda for the fourth quarter of 2015, shows the highest average prices since they began to measure its evolution, in the fourth quarter of 2011, i.e., the highest value of the last four years. Rent in Figures 547 euros is the average price of monthly rental in the homes offered in the city. 365 euros is the average rental price of the flats in which half the Municipal Housing Board in its programs. 180 euros is the price of the cheapest housing for rent, located in Colonia Requena. 1.350 euros is the price of the two most expensive properties for rent, which are located in the Playa de San Juan and Cabo de las Huertas. 717 euros is the average cost of housing in the most expensive neighbourhood, which is the Playa de San Juan. 370 euros is the average rental price of the flats in the cheapest neighbourhood is Carolinas Bajas. By area, the cheapest is the Northern Zone, where the average rental price is 310 euros. 99 square meters is, on average, the size of the typical apartments that are rented in Alicante. 2.6 is the average number of rooms that have homes that are rented in the city. At the end of 2015, the average price of housing rental in Alicante was 547 euros, 14 euros more than in the previous quarter, 8 euros more than a year ago and 6 euros more than in the first quarter of 2014, when it reached highest price since 2011. The Board's report reveals that the average area of

apartments for rent is 99 square meters and the average is 2.6 bedrooms. By neighbourhoods and areas As usual, there are huge differences between rental prices in different neighbourhoods and even within them. Thus, they found cheaper housing, in Colonia Requena, at a price of 180 euros, followed by another in Virgen del Remedio at 200 euros. In contrast, the most expensive rental properties were located in Cabo de las Huertas and Vistahermosa: both for rent from 1,350 euros per month. That is, more than a thousand euros above the cheapest available. The report also highlights the variability of existing prices in different areas because in the Vistahermosa area you can also find apartments for as low as 350 euros. Taking into account the average prices, the neighbourhoods with the highest income level are Playa de San Juan at 717 euros; Cabo de las Huertas, 699; and Gran VĂ­a, with 650. At the other extreme are Altas Carolinas, with 377 euros on average; and Carolinas Bajas, with 370. In the Northern Zone, there is not a typical average price because in these neighbourhoods there were less than 20 homes for rent, so it would be unrepresentative to include them in the report. The study also groups the properties for rent by area, and in this case it counts as a whole, with the North Zone, which is the most economical with an average income of 310 euros. The highest, again, is in the Playa de San Juan-Cabo de las Huertas-Albufereta and Gran VĂ­a-Parque Avenidas, at 671 and 665 euros, respectively. Regardless of the neighbourhood or area, most homes in Alicante rental costing between 401 and 500 euros (28%) and those falling between 301 and 400 euros at 23%. More than half of the homes offered are priced between 300 and 500 euros per month. Regarding the types of homes offered, according to the study, 48% have three bedrooms, 25% have two, 13% four bedrooms or more and only 14% of them are one-bedroom studios. The average rental yield, i.e., the price per square meter compared to what would be obtained if sold, is similar to the Spanish average, 5.5 and 5.6%, respectively, although much higher in the Zone North, with 8.3%.

400,000 motorcyclists using crash helmets that 'need to be replaced'

Almost 400,000 UK motorcyclists are using crash helmets that need to be replaced because they no longer offer maximum protection, new research suggests. Helmet manufacturers and independent safety experts, such as the Snell Foundation, agree that helmets should be worn for no more than five years due to degradation in the glues and resins. However, a survey commissioned by motorcycle insurer Carole Nash has found that 62 per cent of motorcyclists would only buy a new helmet if they had been involved in an accident. In addition, 63 per cent said they would continue to use their helmet after dropping it, even though there would be a risk that it had suffered internal

damage that cannot be seen. And while nearly half of bikers (45 per cent) will initially spend more than £200 on their helmet, 38 per cent opt for one finished in fashionable – but hard to spot – black, ahead of more visible options such as blue (14 per cent) and yellow (six per cent). Rebecca Donohue, head of marketing at Carole Nash, said: “While it’s encouraging to see that bikers are making an initial investment in their lids, we urge them to not see this as a onetime expense. With premium manufacturers like Arai offering free helmet checks to their customers, we would even recommend bikers who have just dropped their helmets to get them checked out. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Best electric cars to buy in 2016 Love them or loathe them, the electric car is a hot topic in the motor industry. Manufacturers are investing heavily in the technology and most major car-makers now have a model on sale or one in the pipeline. Governments are equally keen for electric cars to become a legitimate choice for motorists. In the UK, drivers who buy a new electric car are entitled to a £5,000 grant towards its cost and a road tax exemption. The aim is for every new car sold in Britain by 2050 to be zero emissions. It's easy to dismiss buying an electric car, especially if you have range anxiety or feel the UK's infrastructure isn't quite as advanced as it needs to be. Luckily, the market is quite diverse, with cheap, expensive, long and short-range choices a-plenty. So, what options are out there for new buyers? Tesla Model S The Tesla Model S is usually top of the shop when it comes to electric cars. With a theoretical range of up to 312 miles, good looks and an emphasis on luxury and performance, it's a strong rival for any good executive saloon out there. But it's not cheap. Prices start from £57,335 but for that, you get an electric car "you could contemplate for crosscountry rather than merely urban motoring", says Top Gear.

New models come with Tesla Autopilot, which can automatically accelerate, brake and steer on motorways - the company is dedicating a lot of time and research to the field of autonomous cars. The Tesla is a crowd-pleaser but for those not exactly drawn by the idea of spending £57,000 on an electric saloon, a solution may be round the corner. A smaller, cheaper version called the Model 3 is planned for 2017, with prices starting around the £30,000 mark.

BMW i3 Like the Model S, the i3 is a purposebuilt electric model with an emphasis on luxury. However, in contrast with Tesla's big saloon for long-distance cruising, BMW have created a much smaller platform with a shorter overall range. For a small car, the i3 has quite a bold design and a very modern, minimalist interior. Auto Express says it's "like the Apple iPhone of the car world – there are

alternatives, but nothing is as stylish, desirable or as good to use". It is available as a range extender and will do 125 miles on a single charge when fitted with this option. Prices start at £30,980 for the standard, battery-only vehicle - but don't forget that £5,000 government grant if you buy new. Nissan Leaf The Leaf was one of the first electric vehicles to cross into the mainstream and since its introduction in late 2010, has gone on to become the highest-selling roadworthy electric car of all time, with more than 200,000 units shifted. According to CarBuyer, its 124 theoretical range is "decent, but hard to achieve", but its "quirky" looks have only started to look dated when compared to the BMW i3. It is cheaper than the BMW, though, undercutting its German rival by £5,000 to kick off at £25,790. Volkswagen e-Golf Compared to every other car on our list, the e-Golf is the only one which is not an entirely new creation, being a conventional vehicle adapted to suit an electric motor. Some consider purposebuilt electric cars to be much better than their more conventional rivals, but others might prefer to buy something bred from a known quantity. The fact it's a Golf remains the sole selling point, however. Range is only 115 miles and prices start from £31,650.

Renault Twizy "The Twizy is part scooter, part car and makes sense for congested cities," says Autocar. Renault's tiny car is limited to strictly that, though, as its range is just 56 miles. It's certainly a niche product. The Twizy has no windows or heater, so keeping it within the bounds of the city for short trips is about as much use as you're likely to get from it. It's cheap, from £6,895, but for a bit more, some conventional city cars can be picked up with far more use. Definitely an oddball choice for those looking for a cheap electric runabout for very short journeys. Renault Zoe For a more conventional Renault, the Zoe hatchback offers an everyday go at an electric car. Overall, it's fairly well-equipped with a decent interior and design. The Zoe is also slightly larger than the Renault Clio on which it's based, offering a 338-litre boot. But it's the price which is one of the largest pull factors, though; the Zoe starts from £18,445, although you do have to pay a monthly rental charge for the batteries. The electric motor is an 87bhp setup, with an Eco mode that reduces it to 60bhp when in search of more range. "It's so like a normal car to drive that only the reduced range make it less practical than an ordinary supermini," says Auto Express.

New Seat Ateca - pictures, details of Seat's first SUV

This is the Seat Ateca, the firm’s crucial new SUV and a new model targeted squarely at the likes of the Nissan Qashqai. The Ateca, unveiled at the Geneva motor show, will reach the UK in September. It will be priced to compete head-on with the Qashqai, with orders being taken from late spring. SUVs have been rapidly gaining popularity in Europe and last year became the biggest-selling type of car in the region for the first time. The Ateca, which has a similar footprint to the Leon, is Seat’s first-ever SUV and should bring significant growth to the Volkswagen Group brand. It will also be followed in early 2018 by a smaller SUV based on the next-generation Ibiza, itself due in 2017, with a larger SUV under investigation for production by the end of the decade. Underpinned by the VW Group’s versatile MQB platform, the Ateca is 4.36m long, which makes it just 2cm shorter than the Qashqai. It shares its 2.64m wheelbase with the Leon, while the 1.84m width and 1.6m height are also in line with the Qashqai. The five-seat Ateca will be offered with standard front-wheel drive and optional four-wheel drive from launch and a familiar range of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines. The entry-level petrol unit is the three-cylinder 113bhp 1.0 TSI. A 1.4 TSI with 148bhp and cylinder deactivation technology is the other petrol engine. A 1.6 TDI diesel is offered with 113bhp, and a 2.0 TDI with

148bhp or 187bhp. All engines come with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox optional on more powerful engines. All-wheel drive is offered on the diesel engines only. The most efficient model in the range is the 113bhp 1.6 TDI with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. This has CO2 emissions of 112g/km and combined economy of 65.7mpg. Seat has already confirmed that an FR version of the Ateca will be offered at a later date, and that a performance Cupra version was under consideration. Versions with off-road styling are also likely. The new Ateca, named after a village in Spain, sports a sharp, sculptured design evolved from that of the

Leon range. Among the features are full LED headlights and the option of LEDs in the exterior mirrors that illuminate the floor area around the doors when they are unlocked, projecting the Ateca name at the same time. A similar feature is offered on Range Rovers. The interior is also familiar from the Leon, borrowing that car’s look and touchscreen infotainment system. The gearstick has been shortened, however, in order to give a more sporty feeling. Seat is pushing the sporting credentials of the Ateca. R&D boss Matthias Rabe describes the cars as having the “most dynamic ride possible”, and “lightfooted, precision handling”. The Ateca’s boot capacity is rated at 510 litres, reducing to 485 litres on all-wheel drive versions. This is significantly greater than the Qashqai’s standard 430 litres. Technology features on the Ateca include wireless smartphone charging, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and the ability to wave your foot under the tailgate for it to open automatically. Another feature is an autonomous driving function called Traffic Jam Assist that steers, accelerates and brakes the car in heavy traffic at speeds of up to 37mph. Also new is a function called Emergency Assist that detects if the driver has been inactive for a period before pinging an alert, pulsing the brake and then bringing the car to a standstill if there’s no reaction.

Keith Wightman Memorial Trophy

On Friday 4th March, Playa Flamenca “A” won a tight final against Daya Vieja “A” and lifted the Keith Wightman Memorial Trophy in this walking football event’s first year of competition. Eight teams took part in the all day tournament at the CDM Playa Flamenca sports ground with one team flying in from Wellingborough in the UK and another travelling down from Moraira in the Costa Blanca North along with local teams from the Monte Mentals and Lo Crispen. The Keith Wightman Memorial Tournament is intended to be an annual event and is named in honour of a keen Playa Flamenca walking footballer who sadly passed away on the pitch during a club game last November. Keith had loved the game, turning up to play every week and relished the opportunity to take up football again in later life. His

wife Babs was there on the day and presented all teams taking part with commemorative trophies, but with Keith’s team, Playa Flamenca, appropriately picking up the winner’s cup. Walking Football teams For those interested in playing Walking Football there are a number of local teams to choose from. Following on from the success shown from the Monte Mentals in Los Montesinos and other local teams such as in Playa Flamenca, Dream Hills, Lo Crispen and further inland, the Torry Army Supporters Club, the Torry Army would like to offer Walking Football to the community. Anyone 55 years of age or older that is interested can just show up on the day, from about 11.00am onwards. It costs just 2.00€ to participate. Please bring a

white and a coloured Football or T-Shirt with you plus a pair of sports or training shoes. Unfortunately, real football boots with studs are not permitted, although the special ones for artificial turf, with lots of small knobbly studs are. The first session will just be to introduce the game to the players, pass a ball around, advice on the rules and play a couple of friendly matches. In essence, in order to cut down the likelihood of head injuries, the ball cannot be kicked higher than waist height, or about a metre off the ground, no sliding tackles, kick ins rather than throw ins, 10-minutes each way and most importantly: no running. The practice session takes place at Torrevieja's Sports City, just beside the Olympic Swimming Pool area. Everyone is welcome; even the ladies, if they wish to take part and show up the 'boys'. For more information about Walking

Football in Torrevieja contact the Torry Army Chairperson Pat Stewart by phone: 966 786 352. Some clubs do play to their own 'local' rules and allow running off the ball, kicking above head height and other club rules. There is something for everyone. But most importantly, the game is for fun, exercise and as a social event. Stan Dibble from the Monte Mentals is also hoping to establish more contacts between the different Walking Football clubs that are springing up all over the area. If you are your club's organiser or spokesperson, please just send an email to Stan at: montestan@gmail.com with your contact details, with a view to more collaboration, standardising the rules of play, tournaments with visiting English teams etc.

Callosa end Monte seven games unbeaten run CD Montesinos 1.2 Callosa Deportivo B By Andrew Atkinson CD Montesinos seven games unbeaten run came to an abrupt end unexpectedly losing 2.1 against CD Callosa B at the Municipal, Los Montesinos, in the 2nd Regional Grupo League. 'It is disappointing to lose the seven game unbeaten run and the players are down in the dressing room, but that's football', Roberto Cases told the CoastRider. Callosa pressed the Montesinos goal from the kick off and came close to taking the lead on three minutes when shooting narrowly wide of the post. Wallace gave Montesinos the lead after eight minutes when cleverly looping the ball into the Callosa net from 25 yards. Callosa equalised on the half hour when a cross into the Montesinos penalty area caught the defence unawares and went into the net past Lopez. Montesinos Daniel ORourke saw a goal bound shot blocked. Callosa shocked Montesinos when taking the lead on 37 minutes, when a free kick was headed home past Lopez, to lead at the interval 2.1. Wallace was a threat early in the second half and ORourke was also lively up front. Galindo saw a shot saved from the edge of the box. Montesinos pressed for an equalizer, but Callosa held firm, with Fernandez thwarted following a free kick. Montesinos had Galindo sent off following two yellow cards. Wallace agonisingly looked on as he fired over the visitors bar deep into injury time. Montesinos, who had defeated Callosa 3.0 earlier in

the season, saw their playoff hopes suffer following the defeat. Montesinos team. Lopez, Fernando, Galindo, Mario, Manuel, ORourke, Dario Fernandez, Jose Antonio, Wallace, Dimitri, MA. Substitutes. Alex, Dario Parades, Alberto, Pley. Next week only in the CoastRider an Exclusive interview with CD Montesinos President Felipe. And coach Roberto Cases. Racing San Miguel remained in second place in the 2nd Regional Segunda Grupo following a five goal thriller against CD Benijofar coming out 3.2 winners to reduce the points to four behind league leaders CD Dolores. 'We faced a very difficult team in CD Benijofar, but we went for the three points to keep second place secure', a spokesman from Racing San Miguel told the CoastRider. SS Fulgencio and Grupo Cliche shared the points in a 2.2 draw, with Atletico Benejuzar coming away with all three points in a 2.1 win at CD Borneo. Results, Saturday March 7. C.D.

Star Cars come out to play

Dozens of classic, sports, exotic and American Cars and Bikes were on show in Algorfa and Los Montesinos on Sunday as part of the Ace Cafe attraction. The car gathering takes place on the first Sunday of every month and with the sun beating down, it was a most pleasant day for one and all.

Football y FĂştbol

Another hectic week of football. Spurs throw away the chance of going top of the table. Penalties missed a plenty. Mata plays like a schoolboy and sees Red possibly ruining Manchester United chances of Champions League next year. Barcelona score four. Ronaldo score four as Real Madrid score seven. And then there's the gossip in last weekend's papers. Starting with the Sun, Manchester City are planning to make Everton's 21-year-old defender John Stones and Athletic Bilbao centre-back Aymeric Laporte, also 21, the first two signings of Pep Guardiola's forthcoming reign as manager. Second from bottom Newcastle United's directors are debating whether to sack manager Steve McClaren - with David Moyes and Rafael Benitez candidates to replace him say the Guardian while former England boss McClaren has told the Magpies board he wants to continue in his role, with the club to inform him of their decision in the next 24 hours as per the Evening Chronicle.

Here in Spain, Barcelona are considering making a bid for Leicester's 25-year-old Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez and Manchester United are lining up a move for Bayer Leverkusen's 26-year-old defender Omer Toprak say the Kicker and former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira won his first game as a first-team manager, leading New York City to a 4-3 away victory against Chicago Fire. Chelsea defender John Terry will miss Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg at home to Paris StGermain because of a hamstring injury and opponents Paris St-Germain striker Edinson Cavani, 29, will be a summer transfer target for Chelsea if Antonio Conte is appointed Blues boss at the end of the season say the Daily Mail. On the social media front: Plenty of players sent messages of love to the important ladies in their lives, including Morgan Schneiderlin of Manchester United: "Big shout to all these amazing women who rock my world," he posted on Instagram. West Brom earned their first home league win against Manchester United for 32 years on Sunday - no wonder striker Saido Berahino was celebrating.

"Big three points for us! The home support was unreal as always," he tweeted. After his mistake saw 10-man Liverpool draw level in Sunday's 2-1 defeat, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alex McCarthy apologised to the club's fans on Twitter. "Football is a game of highs and lows, I'm sorry to all you Palace fans but I didn't mean to slip," he tweeted. Palace defender Damian Delaney conceded the last-minute penalty Christian Benteke converted for victory, and he too had plenty to say about the result. "I can honestly say I didn't make contact with Benteke today and IF there was slight contact I didn't impede him and certainly didn't feel there was enough to award a penalty in the 96th minute," he wrote in an Instagram post. Meanwhile: Bouncers at a London nightclub apparently failed to recognise some of Leicester's players and refused them entry, making them stand aside to let some Tottenham players go in, as per the Mirror.
