The New Normal After 98 days on lockdown under a nationwide State of Alarm, Spain this week returns to the ‘new normal’. Each

See Main Advert on page 27

autonomous community has a differing set of rules (outlined below) although some regulations (such as the wearing of masks in public places where maintaining two metres distance is not possible) are common across all communities.

The priority in many areas will be to kickstart local economies and ease many of the restrictions that have impacted the daily lives of people.

A big change this week is the absence

of restrictions on driving. The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), while it does not foresee major traffic jams, warns of the "temptation" to step on the accelerator and of "compulsive driving" after the long period of restricted travel.

Central government does not hide the fact that there is widespread concern about the risk of further outbreaks and has decided to strengthen the National Health System (SNS) with more financial resources.

The Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, underlined this when asking the country not to let its guard down in this ‘new normal’ period because "the virus can return and it can shake us again in a second wave, and it must be avoided at all costs", he said in a statement on the last day of the state of alarm.

The end of the state of alarm means that all the autonomous communities now recover their powers. Therefore, each area has developed its own guide to the rules of this new phase in which there is still uncertainty and the fear due to the lack of a vaccine against covid-19. The autonomous communities and not

central government will take control of the number of clients allowed in hostelry establishments and will regulate control measures that will impact the likes of nightlife, dining and socialising.

Andalusia: The community enters the ‘new normal’ phase with the introduction of up to 400 new regulations. Authorities there forecast is that "the new normal" will be in effect until next spring. The capacity of establishments and shops increases to 75% inside and 100% on terraces. In the case of swimming pools and hotels it is 50%, 65% in cinemas and concert halls. Outdoor concerts will have a maximum capacity of 1,500. In the case of funerals, up to 60 people may attend if they are outdoors, 30 inside. Fairs and festivals are not recommended.

Aragon: Maximum capacity for establishments will be 75%, provided they are not nightlife venues. In this case, the capacity will be half and the dance floors must be occupied by chairs and tables. Children's play areas are now open Continued on page 3

Continued from page 1 again. Patron saint festivities are postponed.

Asturias: Nightlife venues can be opened again with a capacity of 50% but without a dance floor. Catering establishments can be opened to their full capacity. With regard to parties, they have been classified by three types of risk (high, medium, low). On July 5, festivals, pilgrimages and attractions will be allowed to return. In the case that they are of high risk they will be prohibited; with medium risk they will have a 75% capacity and with low risk the accepted personal protection measures would suffice. Organizers themselves will determine the risk level of the events.

Playgrounds also open with these regulations, and shopping centres will have a limited capacity of 50% in common areas.

Balearic Islands: Pubs, restaurants or venues with a capacity of more than 300 people may not yet open, the remainder will be allowed to open at 75% capacity.

On the beach there will have to be more than four square meters for each swimmer and no more than 30 people can gather per group.

Canary Islands: The rule of four square meters on the beach also applies here.

Bars and restaurants will not have a capacity limit, but shops will be limited to 75%. Patron saint festivities will not take place.

Cantabria: A general limit of 75% will be maintained in hotels, shops and cultural facilities, a percentage that drops to 50 in hostels, tourist facilities and nightlife venues. Sports events may not have gatherings more than 300 people indoors and a thousand outdoors. On beaches, showers and footbaths will only be used by one person at a time.

Castilla-La Mancha: With the intention of not confusing citizens, the regional government has decided to limit

CostaBlancaPeople 23rd - 29th June 2020

the capacity to 75% in practically all premises and public services.

Castilla-Leรณn: The community, very affected by the virus due to its proximity to Madrid, has decided to prohibit any event and meeting where the safety distance of 1.5 meters between people cannot be maintained. In the hospitality sector bars are reopened although the capacity is limited to 75%. Nightclubs must place tables on dance floors and will have attendance limited to one third.

Pools may open to 75% and sports competitions without physical contact are allowed.

Catalonia: From June 25 there will be no limited capacity in establishments. At outdoor events, the safety distance of 1.5 meters must be respected, although it can be lowered if a mask is used and there will be a register of attendees, sector spaces and a maximum of 2,000 people.

Comunidad Valenciana: The Valencian community will keep most of the measures of phase 3 of the deescalation, such as the obligation to limit the capacity to 75% or even 60% in the case of shopping centres. Open air events may not have more than 800 people and funerals will have a limit of 50 people in open spaces and 25 in closed places.

Extremadura: The new normal phase will be divided into two periods. In the first stage, which lasts until July 31, the capacity limitations are 50% as a general rule, rising to 75% from August.

Galicia: Galicia was the first autonomous region to launch fully into the 'new normal' last Monday. 75% capacity in general public areas, 80% in terraces and 50% in common areas of shopping malls. Outdoor events will have a maximum of 1,000 people seated or 300 if the event is held indoors.

La Rioja: The regional government has adopted a policy of not limiting capacity in spaces where it is possible to maintain distances. Large events are limited to 75%. All events will have to be by

appointment to allow, if necessary, the tracking of attendees. In bullrings there may be up to 1,000 people while the pools will have a 75% capacity limit.

Madrid: The Community of Madrid announced on Friday its plan to advance to the new normality without going through phase 3. Between this Sunday and July 5, all businesses will have their internal capacity limited to 60% (80% in terraces of bars and restaurants). From July 6, that percentage will increase to 75% (100% in terraces). Discotheques will continue to be closed until at least July 5.

Playgrounds are open again.

Murcia: The region will allow hotels to operate with all its rooms open, although in common spaces the capacity will be limited to 75%. Weddings may have 500 outdoor attendees (200 inside) and funerals with 50 (30 indoors).

Navarra: Despite the fact that many protested against the cancellation of the renowned San Fermin celebrations, the community prohibits all large-scale patron saint festivities. Almost all other activities will be allowed once more, although with limitations similar to other communities such as limiting the capacity to 75% in the hospitality industry, maximum groups of 25 people and the holding of large events with up to 1,000 attendees outdoors and 500 inside.

Basque Country: The Basque Country has reopened parks and recreational areas, although a space of 4 square metres for each person must be guaranteed. On public transport, 100% of the capacity is allowed but always with a mask. In open-air cultural shows, pilgrimages, dance or music exhibitions and parades, the maximum capacity will be 1,000 attendees, the same as in sports events in open spaces, such as cycling, rowing or athletics. In closed spaces this figure is reduced to 300 people.

Discotheques and the rest of nightlife venues resume their activity with 60% of their capacity.

will provide airlines with incentives to travel to Spain in an effort to attract the greatest number of international visitors.

The revival plan came with a call to Spanish citizens to holiday in their own country this year.

Most of the money is to cover government guarantees for tourism sector loans, a moratorium on mortgage payments, and a lowering of airport taxes for airlines. It is also to finance health protocols to avoid virus contagion.

"Spain is re-opening for tourism," said Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. "We are world leaders, which is why every step we take must be a safe step."

Spain is the world's secondbiggest tourism destination after France with 84 million visits in 2019, but travel dried up during the pandemic which caused

27,000 deaths in Spain according to official data.

Juan Cierco, in charge of the tourism commission at Spain's chamber of commerce, called the ongoing crisis "the worst in the history of tourism", and one that could lose the sector up to 83 billion euros.

The tourism employers' organisation Exceltur meanwhile said the project was insufficient, calling for direct payments, tax cuts and Italian-style "holiday bonuses" to top it up.

"Spain mustn't skimp on means to save the sector", it said in a statement.

The government meanwhile says it has already spent 15 billion euros on helping the sector in the form of credit lines and financial help to tourism industry employees.

The Spanish government has presented an aid package worth more than 4.2 billion euros for the crucial tourism sector, including a campaign to promote the country as a "safe" destination after the coronavirus wreaked devastation on the popular holiday destination.

The plan came ahead of Sunday's re-opening of Spanish borders to travellers from European Union and Schengen countries.

Spain will also progressively open up to travel from non-EU countries from July, depending on public health developments.

Tourism accounts for 12 percent of GDP and Spanish industry experts are disappointed with the amount of investment saying the initiative falls short of expectations after the crisis has caused up to 80 billion euros in loses.

For the past three months, the sector has been paralysed by confinement measures and restrictions on travel, which were implemented in a bid to curb the spread of the virus.

Spokespersons from the industry are now preparing for a record-low summer season, especially in terms of foreign tourist arrivals. To address this concern, the initiative, dubbed the Tourism Sector Promotion Plan,

SELLING? EXCLUSIVE OR MULTI-AGENT? Rebecca Serwotka Rebecca Serwotka - Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada & published author of “Moving Forward - 25 Essential Rules For Buying & Selling Real Estate Without Going Crazy.”

Request your FREE copy today!Featured on Best Buy Spain - Property TV.

Selling your home can seem like a minefield in the best of times, but during a pandemic, where do you even start? If you’ve never sold a house in Spain before, there are bound to be lots of questions about the whole process, but more importantly, how are you able to get the most amount of money for your property right now, in the current market?

First of all, you need to start by choosing the right Real Estate Agent. You should feel like you’re in safe hands and that any concerns you had, will be put to rest by the end of the initial listing appointment.

It is helpful to you the vendor, to have your questions written down ready to go through each point, on your first meeting with the Real Estate Agent.

How to choose the best Real Estate Agent to represent you.

Are they exclusive or multi-listing agents?

Most Real Estate Agents love the multi-listing option, as you the homeowner, will be doing most of the legwork! You’ll be the one running between agents, informing each of them whenever you’re not able to accommodate a viewing appointment.

Imagine how inconvenient it is if you have a medical appointment, or even be away for a few days, you’d

have to go to every agent and tell them you won’t be available. What about if you feel you need to reduce your asking price. Which agent do you have that conversation with? The worst is if you leave them your keys. You’ll never know who exactly has been inside your property.

Exclusive agents work harder and faster to find a buyer for your home. They’re the ones doing all of the marketing and not sitting back relying on others. You’ll probably find they’ll have a larger advertising budget and company Euros to match it, meaning you’ll gain greater exposure to the largest number of BUYERS. They market direct to the buyer, saving you money by cutting out the 2 and 3 agents that could have potentially gotten involved.

You need to have confidence in your chosen Real Estate Agent that they’ll get the job done.

Think of it like this… If you feel you need to enlist the services of multiple agents at the same time, then you don’t have enough faith in any one of them!

So whether you decide to go “exclusive” or “multi,”choosing the right Real Estate Agent should make the complete selling experience as stress free as possible.

This Friday 26th June 2020 at 12 Noon, I’ll be holding an encore webinar* presentation on how to sell a property in the Costa Blanca. You can register at www.homes4u.es/webinar to save your seat. Early registration is advisable. *A webinar is an online presentation that you can join and watch from your computer or mobile device from the comfort and safety of your own home.

Massive €82m climate change investment by Torrevieja Torrevieja town hall and Agamed, the town’s water management firm, are attempting to get ahead of the fight against climate change with an historic investment of €82 million.

An ambitious programme is being developed to end localised flooding that has become even more problematic in Torrevieja in recent years.

The Agamed Board of Directors, chaired by the mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, this week approved an Investment Plan for the city of Torrevieja worth 82 million euro. The programme will take action to stop the flooding that has become an increasing problem in the town and, as a consequence of climate change, has been happening more often and to a greater degree. These floods pose both a human health and material risk to the city.

The investment in the scheme will not result any increase in water rates for residents of Torrevieja.

The new investment agreement implies the extension of the contractual relationship between the town hall and Agamed, which ends in 2028, until the year 2048, that is, 20 more years to pay off the cost of the works to be carried out without having an impact on the

municipal coffers or on the rates of the water bills of the residents of Torrevieja.

In addition, 6 million euros will be added for social actions, among which is, for example, the Agamed Social Fund to help pay the water bill of vulnerable members of the community, 33

million euros in drinking water renovation funds and 17 million euros to the sewerage renovation funds.

The urgent flood protection measures can be carried out thanks to the fact that AGAMED is a mixed economy company, in which the private partner will provide the necessary financing to be able to carry out the most urgent short-term actions for the municipality worth 43 million euros. The remaining investment will be progressively executed until 2048, the deadline for the completion of the project.

It is hoped that by the time the project is complete, Torrevieja will see an end to the flood problems

that have plagued parts of the town and surrounding urbanisations.

In recent years there is more rainfall here, both in the number of episodes of rain and in its intensity, so the future trend is likely to continue to see an increase, as has been happening since 2010. It is also significant that in the last three years alone the number of weather episodes with rains exceeding 100 litres per square meter has tripled (rainfall episodes upwards of 60 litres per square metre are classified as storm episodes).

In addition, since September 2019 Torrevieja has suffered three significant flood damage incidents, evidencing the urgent need for storm protection infrastructures.

Works will be carried out mainly at those points that experience the worst flooding, such as, in Avda. Europeos, junction with N-332, Calle Cupido and surroundings of Ronda José Samper, Avda. Rosa Mazón, Avda.

Belgium, Avda.

Cortes Valencianas, in the Torretas and Punta la Víbora, Avda. Delfina Viudes, Avda. de la Estación, Urbano Arregui with the crossing of the Acequión, in Rambla Juan Mateo, María Parodi, Calle Ramón Rubial, Calle Mar Menor, among others.

Orihuela gives 400,000 euros to help pandemic hit businesses

When the police arrived at the property, the son had barricaded himself into the garage and neighbours reported hearing screaming. Officers forced the metal door of the garage and found the son standing over his deceased father, with the knife still in his hand. The 60 year old victim’s throat had been cut.

After trying to run from the scene of the crime, neighbours watched as four Local Police Officers restrained him and held him down until Guardia Civil and took over. The son was arrested and transferred to cells at the Guardia headquarters in Pilar de la Horadada, where he will appear in court in Orihuela this week.

Ryanair restarts flights early Low-cost air carrier Ryanair has brought its flight schedule forward to coincide with changes to Spanish lockdown rules.

The airline was due to resume flights on 1st July but restarted some routes on 21st June - the same day Spain lifts its border restrictions to welcome back tourists.

A flight to Alicante in Spain was scheduled to leave East Midlands Airport on Sunday at 3.45pm with a total of 16 Ryanair flights scheduled to and from EMA until the end of the month. And a flight from Manchester Airport touched down at 5.55pm in Tenerife.

A Ryanair spokesperson said: "Although we are officially back with 1,000 daily flights from 1st July (across the network), some routes are starting from 21st June."

When they "officially" restart on 1st July the Irish carrier has said it will operate flights to “key holiday airports” in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Cyprus.

New on-board safety measures include face masks to be worn on board, and a limited range of refreshments available, with a cashless system.

In a bid to persuade nervous passengers, it had dropped the prices for July and August with one-way fares starting from £27, in a bid to kick-start demand. Airline CEO Michael O'Leary has said that thousands of British families have booked holidays in Portugal, in Spain and Italy for this summer.

Ryanair’s chief executive Eddie Wilson said: “After four months of lockdown, we welcome these moves by governments in

Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Cyprus to open their borders, remove travel restrictions and scrap ineffective quarantines.

“Irish and British families, who have been subject to lockdown for the last 10 weeks, can now look forward to booking their much-needed family holiday to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, and other Mediterranean destinations for July and August before the schools return in September.

“Ryanair will be offering up to 1,000 daily flights from 1st July, and we have a range of low fare seat sales, perfect for that summer getaway, which we know many parents and their kids will be looking forward to as we move out of lockdown and into the school holidays.”

Checks However, the British Foreign Office currently advises against all but essential travel and is currently enforcing a 14-day quarantine for those returning from abroad. This policy is due to be reviewed at the end of the month.

The Spanish airport authority has announced that holidaymakers coming into Spain from now will have to pass three health checks. The first will be a document that the traveller must fill in with information on their location during their trip and whether or not they have had coronavirus. The second and third checks will involve having their temperature taken at the arrival airport and a visual inspection. If the passenger fails one of the three checks, he or she will be seen by a doctor.

Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs Arancha González Laya had said that Spain might have to consider imposing a 14-day quarantine on Brits who visit Spain once the borders reopened on June 21st as the UK was doing the same with Spanish arrivals. However, there was no mention of any enforced quarantine for Brits alongside the airport health controls.

Mother and son stabbed by husband A 52-year-old woman has been seriously injured in Alicante after allegedly being stabbed repeatedly by her husband. The couple’s 24-year-old son has also suffered several stab wounds, although of lesser severity. The incident took place in Alicante on Thursday afternoon. National Police have arrested the alleged perpetrator and are investigating whether an argument broke out because he intended to kill himself, as he had recently attempted suicide.

The incident took place shortly after four in the afternoon. The 112 emergency line received several emergency calls reporting the alleged attack and at around 4:20pm various patrols of the National Police and the Alicante Local Police have dispatched to the location, as well as two ambulances.

When officers arrived, they verified that the woman was alive but had received several stab wounds and her condition was serious. The son also had cuts on his hands and arms, while the husband and father of the victims also had a stab injury to one leg, which was not considered serious.

The efforts of the health services displaced to the scene first focused on attending to the woman given the severity of the wounds, some of them to the abdomen. Once they had stabilized her, she was brought to hospital by SAMU ambulance.

The son was also transferred to hospital, while the alleged assailant was

arrested and taken under custody to a medical centre for treatment.

According to the initial investigations carried out by National Police, the 52year-old detainee had not been well for some time and had tried to take his life about a month ago, but his son managed to prevent it by disarming him.

Initial inquires suggest that this time he intended injure himself with a knife and the son intervened again to try and prevent his father’s potential suicide.

Officers believe that this may have triggered a fight in which the young man was wounded by the knife. The young man's mother would have mediated the dispute and she then came off the worst in the altercation, since her husband is alleged to have stabbed her several times.

Dénia death Meanwhile, a 54-year-old man died in Dénia after falling from a third floor balcony. The victim, who was from Madrid and had his second residence in Dénia, had left the keys to his apartment inside. He tried to enter his house from the neighbour's balcony but fell to his death. Neighbours immediately notified the emergency services. A Local Police patrol arrived very quickly to the scene but the man no longer had a pulse.

Agents attempted to retrieve him with the defibrillator but to no avail.

Ambulances arrived and paramedics also attempted to resuscitate the man but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Steroid proves life saving against Covid­19 A cheap and widely available drug can help save the lives of patients seriously ill with coronavirus. The low-dose steroid treatment dexamethasone is a major breakthrough in the fight against the deadly virus, UK experts say.

The drug is part of the world's biggest trial testing existing treatments to see if they also work for coronavirus. It cut the risk of death by a third for patients on ventilators. For those on oxygen, it cut deaths by a fifth.

Had the drug had been used to treat patients in the UK from the start of the pandemic, up to 5,000 lives could have been saved, researchers say. And it could be of huge benefit in poorer countries with high numbers of Covid-19 patients.

The UK government has 200,000 courses of the drug in its stockpile and says the NHS will make dexamethasone available to patients.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said there was a genuine case to celebrate "a remarkable British scientific achievement", adding: "We have taken steps to ensure we have enough supplies, even in the event of a second peak."

Chief Medical Officer for England Prof Chris Whitty said it would save lives around the world.

About 19 out of 20 patients with

coronavirus recover without being admitted to hospital.

Of those who are admitted, most also recover but some may need oxygen or mechanical ventilation. And these are the high-risk patients dexamethasone appears to help. The drug is already used to reduce inflammation in a range of

other conditions, including arthritis, asthma and some skin conditions. And it appears to help stop some of the damage that can happen when the body's immune system goes into overdrive as it tries to fight off coronavirus. This over-reaction, a cytokine storm, can be deadly.

In the trial, led by a team from Oxford University, about 2,000 hospital patients were given dexamethasone and compared with more than 4,000 who were not. For patients on ventilators, it cut the risk of death from 40 percent to 28 percent. For patients needing oxygen, it cut the risk of death from 25 percent to

20 percent.

Chief investigator Prof Peter Horby said: "This is the only drug so far that has been shown to reduce mortality - and it reduces it significantly. It's a major breakthrough."

Lead researcher Prof Martin Landray said the findings suggested one life could be saved for every eight patients on a ventilator and every 20-25 treated with oxygen.

"There is a clear, clear benefit," he said. "The treatment is up to 10 days of dexamethasone and it costs about £5 per patient. So essentially it costs £35 to save a life and this is a drug that is globally available."

When appropriate, hospital patients should now be given it without delay, Prof Landray said. But people should not go out and buy it to take at home. Dexamethasone does not appear to help people with milder symptoms of coronavirus who do not need help with their breathing.

The Recovery Trial, running since March, also looked at the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which has subsequently been ditched amid concerns it increases fatalities and heart problems. The antiviral drug remdesivir, meanwhile, which appears to shorten recovery time for people with coronavirus, is already being made available on the NHS.

Local community mourns snooker legend Willie Thorne In 2018 snooker legend Willie Throne moved to Villamartin and instantly became part of the local community. This week that community is mourning his loss and celebrating a life that was taken too soon.

In 2017 Willie Thorne was invited to Orihuela Costa by longtime friend Karen Williams and her son John, owners of Evolution Bar, who asked him to support the bar’s charity golf event. He and then wife, former Miss Great Britain Jill Saxby, revisited that area several times and loved it so much they moved to live in Villamartin in the summer of 2018.

Willie was a huge charity supporter and he did two further local charity golf events, one with Bobby Davro and the other with Paul Gascoigne. He also used his auctioning skill to help raise money for various other charities and made numerous appearances at charity events around the Costa. He travelled back and for to England to do charity events, play in seniors snooker tournaments and fulfil professional snooker commentating commitments. He also took part the ITV Full Monty Charity Show last year.

Willie was a member of Evolution Golf Society, a member of its pool team and often joined a local lunch group to enjoy life in the sun. When Jill returned to

England in October 2019, Willie decided to stay here, where he had lots of friends around him and his two dogs Alfie and Charlie which he adored.

In March, Willie, who was aged 66, was diagnosed with Leukaemia, having already battled with prostate cancer earlier in his life. The news was made even more difficult as the country went into lockdown and Willie faced the diagnosis on his own, albeit with friends here and in the UK rallying around to support him as best they could on the phone, through Facetime and on Whatsapp.

Following his diagnosis Willie had chemotherapy at Torrevieja Hospital. He suffered from severe gout and had a mystery infection which resulted in sepsis, this saw him return to hospital by ambulance last week where he

was placed in ICU. His condition worsened and he was placed in an induced coma as his body went into respiratory failure. There was no response to the treatment and so the decision was made to switch off the life support system.

Willie Thorne passed away with his carers Julie O’Neil and Michelle Mint of Expat Home Care at his side, and with his family speaking to him over the phone.

A Memorial service for Willie Thorne will be held at Cristo Resucitado, Ecumenical Centre in Orihuela Costa at 11.15am on Wednesday, 24th June. A hot and cold buffet and celebration of his life will take place at Evolution, La Fuente Commercial Centre. There will be a Charity bowl at the Church, with donations for Rainbows Charity and Voice 20/20 Charity to which Willie was affiliated.

Guardia Civil Sunday Flu jab save campaign officers shopping life

The Valencian Community is bringing forward its annual flu vaccine campaign in the hope it will help the public and medical professionals to avoid mistaking influenza symptoms for COVID-19.

The vaccinations are not compulsory but Valencian President, Ximo Puig says he wants the jabs to be as widely available as possible. The annual flu jab programme usually starts in the first week of November, but Puig announced that this would be earlier this year as some of the symptoms are similar to the coronavirus that has ravaged Spain since March.

He said: “Thousands of people die from flu each year and if we bring forward the vaccination programme, we can achieve a more effective fight against influenza.”

The Valencian President emphasised that earlier flu jabs would allow a greater focus on any second spike of the coronavirus in the winter months. The region is also planning a comprehensive public education campaign to emphasise the difference between flu and the coronavirus.

The officer on duty at the front desk of the Guardia Civil barracks had a more interesting shift than usual recently, when he saved a man’s life. The officer saw a car arrive in front of the barracks at speed, just after midnight.

A man got out of the car, he appeared very nervous, and asked for help for his wife. The woman had serious breathing problems, to such an extent that, when she got out of the vehicle, she collapsed on the ground.

The front desk officer, along with two other officers who were on duty were immediately concerned and thought the woman showed evident symptoms of suffocation, and that her airway could be obstructed.

The woman lost consciousness intermittently and vomited several times.

The three officers put their expert training to good use, practicing resuscitation and first aid on the woman until the Basic Life Support ambulance arrived. The woman was then transferred to the Vega Baja Hospital for full emergency treatment.

The officers were thanked for their swift action and he medical professionals said that if they had not carried out the first aid procedures the woman’s condition could have been life threatening. The woman, a Moroccan resident of Almoradi is believed to be 56 years old and is recovering from her ordeal.

returns

Sunday (21st June) saw the long-awaited return of Sunday shopping to the Valencian Community. Shops in tourist areas are now own every Sunday, through to January and after a long lockdown, locals made the most of the opportunity to hit Zenia Boulevard for some retail therapy.

Sunday shopping was always a key feature of the local areas and a considerable boost to attracting tourists.

However, in 2018 this changed and medium-sized and large stores were no longer allowed to open every day of the week. The Valencian Community decided that stores were only allowed to open for six months of the year. The regional government claimed that the change had been made in order to give shopworkers more family and leisure time.

However, many local municipalities across the southern Costa Blanca have complained that shoppers simply hop across the border on a Sunday and do all their shopping in the neighbouring Murcia region. This, the local governments believe, deprives the local economy of their money.

GBP / EUR UPDATE GBP It’s been a wobbly week for sterling as the Bank of England announced an extra £100bn for the UK economy to aid its recovery from the coronavirus lockdown. Sterling was softer after this news, where the bank’s Monetary Policy Committee also kept interest rates at a record low of 0.1%. The BoE did also say there is growing evidence that the hit to the economy could be less than initially, but concerns surrounding unemployment levels mean investors believe further quantitative easing is likely.

The move was expected, as policymakers were poised to take action after the UK economy suffered its biggest monthly contraction in history, shrinking by 20.4% in April, with jobs data showing a fall of 600,000 workers on payroll between March and May. This rate of 3.9% rate of unemployment was lower than the prediction analysts had made, but the 529,000 rise in jobseeker numbers do not properly reflect the real employment situation. In particular they take no account of almost nine million people on furlough, at least some of whom will be out of a job when the job retention scheme ends. The employment picture is likely to get worse before it begins to recover.

Brexit was back on the agenda,with the Prime Minister emerged victorious from an hour-long telephone conversation with EU leaders, having fixed the end of the Brexit transition period for 31 December. He said “there is no reason why the outline of a deal cannot be sealed by the end of July”.Investors cautiously took Johnson at his word, despite the European Council president’s repeated insistence on the “level playing field” to which, until now, Downing Street has been implacably opposed. They might have their doubts but at least the light of a possible Brexit deal was not entirely snuffed out. Sterling strengthened by an average of 0.4%, adding two thirds of a euro cent. To some extent a crash-out is already built into sterling’s price.

More than a few of the usual shopping basket items were unavailable in May – home removals, cinema popcorn, air fares, theatre seats, cruises, etc.

– so the ONS swerved the list, and there was no lasting effect from the UK consumer price index data, which put headline inflation close to a fouryear low at 0.5%. The producer price measures showed factory gate prices 1.4% lower on the year with manufacturers’ costs down by 10%.

EUR It was a similar story with the Eurozone CPI figure.

At 0.1% it, also, was close to a four-year low. Equally, the European Central Bank has little interest these days in framing monetary policy to shape consumer prices. The other Euroland data on Wednesday, for Italian industrial sales and orders, and Eurozone construction, were predictably grim.

Construction output was down by an annual 14.6%, Italian sales by 46.9% and orders by 49%.

Looking ahead, uncertainty is compounded by the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. The more likely a no-deal Brexit, the greater the threat to sterling, not the euro. From its position prior to the referendum four years ago the pound has already fallen by around 15% against the euro.

It wasn’t just the BoE grabbing headlines. The European Central Bank reached another big milestone, as its offer of cheap, three year loans was taken up by 742 banks, totalling €1.31 trillion in costs. Fighting back to bolster economies from being wiped out, the loans are designed to keep banks providing credit to businesses and individuals. Carrying an interest rate below zero means in essence that the ECB is paying lenders to lend. Stimulus of such scales is no longer shocking, merely expected. It comes at a time when the world got cold feet about reopening, with fears of a second wave of Covid-19 infections as communities are fenced off and flights are cancelled in Beijing after a new outbreak.

US doctors perform 1st COVID­19 double lung transplant A woman in her 20s is currently recovering from a double lung transplant, needed after COVID-19 severely damaged her lungs. The woman, who has not been publicly identified, was treated by surgeons at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, and received the transplant on 5th June. This is thought to be the first case of a patient receiving a double lung transplant due to the effects of COVID-19.

Ankit Bharat, MD, chief of thoracic surgery and surgical director at the Northwestern Medicine Lung Transplant Program, said during a press conference that the woman is in “stable condition” and is “improving every day.” Dr. Bharat made it clear that the woman was seriously ill when she received the transplant, which replaced her lungs with donor lungs. “If she didn't get the transplant, she would not be alive,” he

said.

There are a lot of questions surrounding this groundbreaking procedure, including whether this may be a future treatment for other patients with severe forms of COVID-19.

Her health was rapidly declining. "She was starting to develop multi-organ failure from the result of the permanent damage that she had," he said.

In order for doctors to consider her for the double lung transplant, the woman needed to test negative for COVID-19 ahead of the surgery. Once that happened, she was put on a transplant list and doctors obtained consent from the woman’s family for the 10-hour procedure.

While the woman who received the

COVID-19 lung transplant is currently stable and doing well, she may have quite a long road ahead of her. Double lung transplant patients can expect to be in the hospital anywhere from a week to 21 days after surgery.

After surgery, the overall recovery time is about six months, and patients usually need to have regular checkups

REVISED PROGRAMME FOR TORREVIEJA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The Councillor for Culture of the Torrevieja, Antonio Quesada, together with the president of the Torrevieja Symphony Orchestra (OST), Pelayo Mellado, and its director, José Francisco Sánchez, presented the revised programme of concerts for the 202021 season of the Orchestra. Concerts will be held at the International Auditorium, and will start on Saturday, October 31, with a concert to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth. The overture of “Egmont” will be performed, composed to put music to the play of the same name, written by Goethe. Also Mozart's concert for piano No. 21, along with Svetlana Berezhnaya, one of the best Russian pianists and organists on the current scene. To close the gala, Beethoven's "Heroic" Symphony No. 3, composed in 1803 and dedicated by the German composer to Napoleon Bonaparte, will be performed.

Looking ahead, on January 3 and 6 there is the traditional New Year's Concert - Reyes, now in its

11th year. As always, between the waltzes and the Viennese polkas some overtones of Spanish music will be included to give the occasion a unique twist. At the break all attendees will be invited to the already typical glass of cava to toast all together for the New Year.

The third concert of the season, which will take place on February 27th 2021, will be completely dedicated to romanticism, and the works of Chopin and Brahms, performed by the prestigious Chinese pianist Shiran Wang.

For the fourth performance of the season, on Saturday March

27th 2021 a concert originally scheduled for May this year will be ‘revived’. The performance, which had to be cancelled as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, is dedicated to music from the American continent.

Finally, and to close the season, on Saturday, May 8th 2021, the “8 Seasons” will be performed, a concert that includes the famous Four Seasons of Vivaldi, along with the Four Buenos Aires seasons of Astor Piazzolla, which the Argentine composer wrote over two centuries later. This time there will be a performance by renowned Korean violinist Sora Han.

Move Over, Rosé If you are you a wine lover you've probably tasted red, white and rosé varieties. But what about orange wine? Here’s the lowdown on the new summer drink we all need right now.

Despite orange wine having made something of a comeback in the past 20 years, most of us have never encountered it. As the name suggests, orange wines have a rich colour that can vary from golden-straw yellow to deep orange, which comes from the lignin in grapeseeds. It is mostly cloudy and is therefore often mistakenly used as a synonym for natural wines, which are also cloudy because they don't use additives to enhance their colour.

Orange wine comes from white grapes but is made like red wine. For example, when making red wine the skin of the grapes is not removed before the fermentation process, which is what gives it its colour. For white wine, only the juice is fermented, and the skins are removed and discarded.

Today, orange wine is created from fermented mash, as it was done thousands of years ago in Georgia (the country, not the state), where it originated. Mash fermentation is the process of fermenting all the components of berries together, including the juice, skin, seeds and sometimes even the stems.

Georgians stored their wine in clay amphorae, which were then buried in the ground. Today, some wine producers continue this practice, but most have transitioned to installing them in vatting cellars. Regardless of where they are stored, letting it ferment in clay pots gives the wine its unique natural character.

And the wine can be left to ferment anywhere from four days to over a year.

Orange wine tastes different than any other wine. Because it is made with few to no additives and sometimes no yeast, it can end up with a slightly sour and nutty flavour profile, due to oxidation. According to an expert ‘generally speaking, orange wines display mild flavors of stone fruit, like peaches; tea flavours, like strong oolong; and an impression of honey, without actually being sweet’.

Many wine experts also say that you should probably be sitting down when you try your first orange wine because its flavour is so bold and intense.

It's recommended to serve the wine at around 12.7°C, with a slightly lower temperature being acceptable in warm weather.

If you're wondering whether orange wine pairs well with food, the answer is yes! It can even stand in for red wine when accompanying red meats or bold, spicy and deep-flavoured dishes, such as hot Indian curries, Korean bibimbap and Moroccan tagines.

The stronger the food flavours, the better.

New mosquito species Spain wants to cancel cash spreading in Spain The Asian tiger mosquito was the first member of the Aedes genus to take up residence in the Iberian peninsula, where it soon became a regular summer nuisance, particularly along the Mediterranean coast. It was first detected in 2004 in Barcelona province, and has since spread at a fast pace. But it may not be the only air-borne pest moving across the peninsula.

Since 2018, the small northern regions of Asturias and Cantabria have been home to another invasive mosquito species, Aedes japonicus. Although it is more discreet than the tiger mosquito because it favours fields with cattle over urban areas, its potential for expansion is even greater.

A new field study has been planned for this summer to assess the spread of this new species in Asturias and Cantabria. Experts suspect that by now, it may have entered neighbouring Galicia as well. Experts say it is too late to eradicate the Asian bush mosquito, as it is commonly known in English, and that in the coming years it will probably extend “like an oil stain” into the regions of Castilla y León, the Basque Country and Navarre.

Its growth could be greater than that of the tiger mosquito because it adapts better to cold weather, and because it can

Spain’s socialist MPs, who make up the bulk of the country's coalition government, want to gradually axe cash from circulation and have tabled a motion to that effect. However, they have been told in no uncertain terms by the Central European Bank (BCE) that they cannot do that.

tobacconists', chemists', petrol stations and supermarkets – were required to accept cards or mobile phone payments for even the smallest amount to prevent the virus being transmitted through touching coins and notes.

Card payments in most of Spain outside big cities, restaurants and major chain stores were the exception rather than the norm until quite recently.

Many small retailers refused to take card payments and much preferred a cash system.

Aedes japonicus

breed “in a wide range of aquatic habitats, such as puddles, tires, milk cartons or buckets,” according to the Health Ministry.

“It is less discerning than Aedes albopictus (tiger mosquito), which could facilitate its expansion.”

A spokeswoman at the regional health department of Asturias said that in 2019, a team from the Epidemiology Surveillance Service set traps to detect tiger mosquito clusters,

and chanced upon specimens of Aedes japonicus in watering troughs for cows. But regional technicians did not feel it was of any consequence from a health point of view, said this spokesperson.

Experts believe that Aedes japonicus has probably been in Spain for too short a time to have made authorities really sit up and take notice. As a matter of fact, the mosquito doesn’t even have a name in Spanish yet.

Marvel Superhero at home challenge Local couple Brian & Sue, are joining together with family in the UK to take part in the Marvel Superhero at home challenge which started on June 15th.

Their team, Team BESTS, are tackling a ‘triathlon’ looking to raise awareness of the very rare & often unheard about neurological condition, Ataxia which very few people know about.

Ataxia predominantly effects mobility, coordination & speech.

People with ataxia are often wrongly perceived to be drunk because of Brian & Sue their strange gait, lack of mobility & slurred speech.

It is a life limiting degenerative condition where from diagnosis the only certainty is that it will get worse.

It is ageless effecting adults & children alike, in Spain there are only around 8000 people with Ataxia, whilst in the UK around 10000.

There is no effective treatment, medicine or cure for Ataxia which can for some people often mean a lack of hope.

The team - including 1 year old granddaughter - are swimming, cycling & walking largely at home aiming to SMASH the suggested 20km target distance determined to complete an equivalent distance of two marathons

between them (over 80km!).

They are also hoping to raise funds for Ataxia along the way and amazingly have already exceeded their initial sponsorship target.

Brian who has had this condition for almost 40 years & is now reliant upon a walker to get around explains that despite the problems caused he considers himself fortunate when compared with many others and looks upon his ataxia as a personal challenge to overcome.

He knows from firsthand experience how people with Ataxia often suffer from people’s misconceptions and judgements which is very hard to take.

This can be embarrassing, hurtful and upsetting both for the sufferer as well as those with them.

However, this has changed since it became law that cards must be accepted for payments of at least €30, and that any cash payment of €2,000 or more had to be accounted for – both in a bid to make life easier for the consumer and to combat moneylaundering, which had been an historic problem in Spain for decades.

And with the Covid-19 pandemic, all businesses permitted to open during the most restrictive period of lockdown – news agents,

Now that lockdown is all but over and practically all businesses have reopened, card payments continue to be the preferred choice, with even local bars now allowing customers to use their debit or credit cards to pay for just one coffee.

Axing cash would only be possible where a country's banks charged little or nothing to traders for card payments, and also allowed free bank transfers below a set figure so that, if someone owed a friend a few euros, they could pop it into their account without paying

commission.

However, the BCE says Spain cannot phase out cash – all it can do is make non-cash payments as easy, widely-available and cheap as possible to encourage these in preference. Otherwise, Spain would be in breach of the EU Treaty, which establishes that notes and coins in euros are legal tender.

According to the BCE, scrapping or limiting cash payments would hit several social groups – particularly the most vulnerable communities – hardest, namely the elderly, immigrants and rural dwellers.

Also eliminating cash could create a huge problem in the event of technical faults, such as electricity or internet being cut off. Indeed, a few of Spain's most isolated rural spots have no internet connection or phone line available, meaning card payments would be impossible.

The BCE points out that if card or electronic transactions were the only ones available, banks could apply commissions or costs to these in the knowledge that they cannot be avoided.

How to spot illegal buildingworks like a professional architect in 5 steps Spanish building licences are quite famously difficult and tortuous to obtain and in most cases a bit of a nightmare.

Here are 5 common tricky situations that can only be solved using a Retrospective Licence and that surveyors quickly spot off the bat: 1- Garages or building work carried out attached to the boundaries (even permanent carports etc) cannot obtain a licence (generally speaking).

The minimum distance from an open window to the neighbour's boundary is 2 metres in Spain, but generally detached villas must stay away from the boundary by a minimum 3 metres, although this may vary and can even be much more.

2- Glazed in terraces or closed in porches are built without a proper licence in 95% of cases. Spanish properties traditionally tend to have many open (patios) or semi-open spaces (porches) to create breezes or shaded areas.

These semi-open spaces are very frequently closed in by using glazing or brick work. The Spanish laws regard these enclosures as extensions of the built floor area of the property and therefore they are subject to a 'Major Licence' for their construction.

Licences to close these spaces in are generally not issued.

3- Most pools are not declared in the title deeds. Many of them don't have a licence either. The small percentage that have a licence generally don't

have the architect’s certificate signing off the building of the pool. If you are selling your property you can use a Certificate of Antiquity or Retrospective Licence for pools, to give peace of mind to the purchasers and also use it to upgrade the title deeds to include the pool at the time of selling.

4- Any exterior cupboard, semi open kitchen or other covered building work must have a proper 'Major Licence' when it has an interior height over 1,50 metres.

5- Under-builds with living accommodation are not allowed by law and like the previous examples can be added to the title deeds using a Retrospective Licence.

In all these scenarios the document needed is a Certificate of Antiquity, also known as a Retrospective Licence, to guard against possible sanctions, and it is highly recommended to avoid putting off potential buyers due to the existence of illegal extensions in or on the property.

It will also be needed in order to update the property’s description in Title Deeds & Land Registry.

The condition in order to obtain a Retrospective Licence is that the building work done is 4 years ago in Murcia Area, 6 years ago in Almeria area and built before August 2010 in Alicante area.

If you are purchasing a property in this area remember to always give your

solicitor an exact description of the property highlighting the building works above and ask them to guarantee what you are buying is exactly what is registered at the land registry.

Only proper Spanish architects are competent to issue retrospective licences so if your solicitors are studying your case, ask them to contact Martinez de la Casa Architects to provide the Antiquity Certificate and we will make the whole process easier, faster and cheaper with our fixed published prices and guaranteed deadlines.

The cost of a Certificate of Antiquity / Retrospective Licence for pools is 190€ +IVA (229 €) and extensions or complete properties 270€ +IVA (326 €). Discounts available if you require your Energy Performance Certificate (121€ IVA Inc) or Habitation Licence (from 118€ Registration tax not included), done at the same time.

Martinez de la Casa Architects can guarantee all services within stated deadlines and a fixed price. With over 10,000 clients in South East Spain, we are considered one of the most prominent and respectable architecture practices, providing all types of certificates and licences, amongst other services.

Band­Aid announces new colours to match skin tones Band-Aid brand adhesive plasters has announced the launch of a new range of plasters that ring truer to all skin colours not just the light options the brand has been selling for around 100 years.

Band-Aid took to Instagram to announce the news: "We hear you. We see you. We're listening to you," the brand said in response to the antiracism movements taking place across the world. "We stand in solidarity with our Black colleagues, collaborators, and community in the fight against racism, violence, and injustice. We are committed to taking actions to create tangible change for the Black community."

In addition to launching the new range of plasters - "in light, medium, and deep shades of Brown and Black skin tones that embrace the beauty of diverse skin" - the brand also pledged to make a donation of an unidentified amount to Black Lives Matter. "We promise that this is just the first among many steps together in the fight against systemic racism," the brand said. "We can, we must, and we will do better."

But some say it's a little late for a legacy brand that touts itself as "America's #1 Bandage Brand." "Here is the issue...what took so long?" asked one commenter. "A few lifetimes late. As if white was the only skin tone in existence until now," a second person added, while another said the company's actions were "so so so overdue."

This lack of representation in

something as simple as plasters isn't new.

It's why, in 2014, Tru-Colour Products cofounder Toby Meisenheimer created a more inclusive brand, offering a wider range of skin tones in bandages and plasters. In a previous interview with the Huffington Post, Meisenheimer, who is white, said he started the company when he realised typical bandages didn't match his black son's skin tone. "I just want my kids, who are already [going to] struggle with the fact that they don’t have the same skin colour as their dad, I want them to see they were made as just as authentic and just as beautiful and the bandage market needs to reflect that,� said Meisenheimer. Four years after its launch, Tru-Colour Products began selling skin tone products and they're currently available on Amazon in various

colours, too.

Apart from that, there's only been one other widely-available brand of bandages made for the Black community: a short-lived brand named Ebon-Aide. According to a 2013 article in The Atlantic, Ebon-Aide, created by New York entrepreneur Michael Panayiotis, emerged in the late 1990s and came in colours like "black licorice, coffee brown, cinnamon, and honey beige." But just a few years later, in late 2002, Ebon-Aide folded, after selling only 20,000 boxes of the 1 million created.

It's unclear when Band-Aid will start rolling out those new inclusive plasters, but many people - like one commenter who commended the brand for the "awesome change" - still believe it's a step in the right direction.

Wedding bells are not for us Our Family expects us to marry but my girlfriend and I don’t want to.

Whenever we see them the conversation comes around to weddings and children. We are not sure we even want to have children, as we have very good careers which will take us far. My mother upset my girlfriend recently to ask her to go and get herself checked out at the doctors, because they thought we should be hearing the patter of tiny feet by now. How can we stop the ‘wedding and children’ hints?

th CostaBlancaPeople CoastRider 23rd - Edition - 29th June 470 - 2020 March 5www.costablancapeople.com 2013 www.coastrider.net

We prefer to adopt a child We want to adopt an older child rather than have our own children, but my parents have said they don’t think it is a good idea. All they have done since they found out our plans is point out the pitfalls and negative side of adopting. Also, my mother had the nerve to say that she thought an adopted child would not be loved like the other grandchildren. I found this very threatening.

It must be very disappointing for you. However, this is your life and your decision and I would ignore other peoples feelings. You are doing a lovely, charitable thing here, and there are plenty of older children who have been overlooked for adoption, and are in desperate need of a loving home. If your family has a problem with that then that is their problem. The attitude is perhaps a little selfish if they can only think of themselves in this situation.

Try and reason with them, and ask them to be more supportive as you have made up your mind.

SALE Getting married and having children is not the ‘be all and end all’ of a relationship. These days not everyone decides to get married or indeed have children, but you’ll need to broach the subject with your families so that they can get used how things are going to be. Be honest and direct, and tell them you don’t want marriage and children but are focusing on your careers and each other. Then ask them to please stop dropping the hints because it is upsetting you both. It’s your life and no one else’s.

Exercises to improve posture Whilst many of us work on cardio and strength, paying attention to everyday posture is also crucial. If you have pain or movement issues, checking posture can give you insight into what needs to be fixed and why. Looking at the way someone stands, from the feet all the way up to the neck, can give a lot of insight into over or underactive muscles in the body. And while your posture doesn’t need to be perfect, improving it can reduce pain issues and boost your athletic performance.

Set yourself straight and balance out your body with the six exercises below. It’s your complete guide to standing stronger and taller.

1. Scarecrow How to: Start standing with feet hip-width apart.

Holding light weights, hinge at the hips to begin in a starting position similar to a bent-over row. Your back should be flat and arms straight down in front of you, just above your knees. Row your elbows back using your upper back muscles, so you hit a broken T shape. Rotate your hands up toward your shoulders.

Staying in the hinge position, extend your arms straight forward and up to your ears.

Then return them to the starting position. That’s one rep. Perform

3 sets of 8 reps.

2. Swimmers How to: Begin lying on your stomach, with arms and legs extended. Keep your head in a neutral position by looking down to the floor in front of you. In a swimming motion, swing your arms down by your sides. Then

bring them back up and overhead by your ears. Focus on keeping shoulders relaxed and moving from the lats and mid back. That is one rep. Perform 3 sets of 8 reps.

3. Shoulder External Rotation How to: Grab a dumbbell in each hand orwrap a light, looped resistance band around your hands. Palms face up. Bend your elbows and keep them against your torso. Rotate your palms away from your torso until your arms are almost facing outward.

You should feel your back and shoulder muscles fire. Slowly bring your hands back together.

Perform 3 sets of 10 reps.

4. Seated T-Spine Openers How to: Begin sitting on a bench, hands behind your neck and elbows in close to each other. Lift your chest and elbows toward the ceiling, moving from your upper back. Try not to arch from your lower back. That’s one rep. Perform 3 sets of 8-12 reps.

5. Farmer’s Walks How to: Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with arm extended down by your side. Make sure to keep your shoulders down away from your ears. Walk forward, keeping your core engaged and taking strong and deliberate steps. Walk for 3050 yards, then rest. That’s one rep.

Perform 5-8 sets.

6. Halos How to: Hold either a kettlebell or dumbbell in each hand at your chest. Pull your shoulder blades back and down away from your ears, as you move the weight up and around your head in a circle, returning them back to your chest. Keep your head upright and neck neutral. Do 10 rotations one way, then 10 the other. That’s one set.

Perform 3 sets.

For the first time ever, its flagship event took place online and delighted in achieving its objective of championing diversity and integration through sport.

Raising an outstanding € 6,333 for the Paralympic Youth Athletics Promises Team, the Liberty Race was once again hailed a resounding success.

This year, the Liberty Race saw 3,000 individuals participate in the event with nearly 1,000 users of social media sharing photos across networks and the hashtag #MiCarreraLiberty experiencing an engagement of over 860,000 on Twitter and Instagram alone.

The Liberty Race advocates solidarity and unity whilst raising funds for young athletes with promising potential at sports level who have not yet benefited from the ADOP Plan. This programme is designed to assist elite sportspeople with disabilities in Spain to prepare for the Paralympic Games. As with previous years, funds raised through donations made by the participants of the race will go to the athletes in the Paralympic Athletics Promises Team.

Supported by Liberty Seguros, the

Paralympic Athletics Promises Team comprises young males and females from all over Spain between the ages of 12 and 20 that are living with physical, visual, or intellectual challenges, such as those with learning disabilities or debilitating conditions such as cerebral palsy.

The DGT has launched a new app that is the first step to providing documentation in digital form, allowing you to carry your driving licence on your mobile.

The miDGT app - which has already been downloaded over a million times – allows you to leave your licence at home as it serves as a replacement for the official document. In addition, the app sends notices and news direct to your mobile device, all from the official source.

The app provides the opportunity to have a digital version of your photocard, and also gives you the opportunity to check your points, the data of the vehicles owned, environmental signs, ITV date, and to receive notifications regarding these data.

The launch is only the first stage of the development of the digital platform.

During a second stage, the possibility of carrying out the procedures that are carried out at trafico offices or via the Internet, such as payment of fees to carry out procedures, notice and payment of fines, obtaining a vehicle report, the identification of the driver in case of sanction, determination of the habitual driver and the consultation of the exam notes, will all be included.

In the third phase, the registration and transfer (second-hand sale) of vehicles through miDGT will be included. In the future, the DGT wants to study how to send users only the messages that are relevant to them. Thus, for example, notifying you of when your licence is due to expire, as well as relevant information based on your location - for example, where the nearest ITV or traffic department is located.

Beware of imitations!

Other applications with similar functions are advertised in the app stores.

In reality, they are websites that request user data - the DGT app does not request this - and, with them, they consult the DGT website to provide that data to their user. These unofficial apps have two disadvantages: first, that they can be monetised by introducing advertising to the user and the second, and more serious, is that the user is giving them their data that could be used for other purposes.

To ensure that the downloaded application is the official one, always look for the "miDGT" logo and make sure that the developer is the DGT itself. This will prevent advertising and ensure that your data is held by the Administration.

Emergency Situations As many of us are just starting out planning longer journeys after “lockdown”, it’s always worth keeping in mind that sometimes things happen outside our control, some of which can lead to risky situations, but if we are prepared then the risk can be minimised, and so this week we are going to have a look at some of the most common emergencies, and how to deal with them.

According to the Professional Association of Training Companies in Road Safety (Formaster), 60% of drivers do not know how to react to unforeseen driving situations, despite the fact many of them are covered in our driver training, when events don’t occur on a regular basis we can easily forget.

When and how to stop in a breakdown or emergenc Most drivers know about the hazard lights on a car, although it is important to familiarise yourself with the button if you are not used to the vehicle. However, in the event of a breakdown or emergency the hazard lights must also be accompanied by the use o warning triangles. One at the back and one at the front if you are on a road where traffic moved in both directions. The triangles must be placed 50 metres from the

vehicle and must be visible from a distance of 100 metres.

It is also important to protect yourself whilst placing the warning triangles on the road by wearing a high visibility jacket.

Try also to make sure that your vehicle is as clear of the carriageway as possible.

All these things must be done straight away in order to warn other road users of the hazard. Do this before summoning help.

How to avoid problems with tyres It is important to ensure that the tyres are properly inflated for the load they are carrying. This should be checked on a regular basis but is also important before a long journey, especially if the vehicle will be carrying more weight than normal, such as the family and luggage.

We have dealt with tyres before, as they are one of the most important safety concerns on a vehicle, but often overlooked.

Please scroll down our Facebook page aft you have finished reading this article to see more about tyre safety.

What we will say though is it is Important to check your tyres on a regular basis, and that includes the spare, if your vehicle has one. Some modern cars have emergency repair kits rather than spare wheels, but whatever your vehicle does have, check to make sure the kit is complete and that the tools to carry out a replacement or fix are with the spare or emergency kit.

Lights are important We have also spoken about the importance of checking your lights on a regular basis too, and again that is still

important at this time of year.

It is now mandatory for new cars to have Daytime Running Lights, and although these are important safety features, they do not in any way replace the need for headlights during darkness or poor visibility. Daytime Running Lights are designed to make the vehicle more visible for other road users, and are not designed to illuminate the road ahead.

Moreover, they only illuminate the front of the vehicle, and so not using your lights correctly could leave you in a vulnerable position.

Fog lights may also be necessary at this time of year but should only be used when visibility is seriously reduced. It is also important to switch them off again once visibility improves.

How to react to an obstacle on the road The appearance of an obstacle such as a loose animal,a scattered load, a fallen tree, or other object on the road can cause risky situations. Ifan imminent impact with your vehicle you should avoid any sudden steering moves if possible, as you could skid. Trying to brake is important but pay close attention to whatever is around your vehicle, especially behind, as well as in front.

If your vehicle becomes immobilised, or if the obstruction could pose a risk to other road users, remember to protect the scene with your hazard lights and warning triangles before summoning help.

Keeping your vehicle in top shape is important to ensure that winter driving is as safe as possible, but if you are involved in an incident, even a minor one, it may be worthwhile getting the car checked by a qualified mechanic.

TALES FROM THE TOP FLIGHT ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

And we are back, baby.

Actual Premier League football returned after 100 days last Wednesday.

Actual Premier League football. Sure, without fans but most of the old narratives reappeared right on cue with a few little extras thrown in for good measure.

If you are a fan of a social distancing gag or seven, strap yourselves in as you are in for a proper treat.

The aforementioned actual Premier League football kicked off at Villa Park where Aston Villa welcomed Sheffield United to play one of the games postponed from pre-lockdown times.

The only problem was, Hawk Eye are clearly still on furlough - or, worse, someone forgot to turn it on when the match kicked off.

There was proper social distancing going on which was great to see - it was between the ball and the goal line though, and that cost the Blades three points that would have been very welcome (considering what came to pass at St James’ Park on Sunday).

Whilst the goal being given would have seen Sheffield United continue their push for 5th place, the point claimed by the Villa gave their relegation battle restart the nudge it needed much to the dismay of the likes of Bournemouth who were probably hoping Villa might remain worse than they meaning they only have to find one club to be less rubbish than this season.

Up at the Etihad, Man City restarted with the faint hope that lockdown might have led to Liverpool completely forgetting how to play football - and if that was to be the case then they were going to be ready to capitalise.

Arsenal arrived in the middle of their

longest unbeaten run in ages - they had not lost in 2020 and that wasn’t completely down to the fact they’d not played for three months.

A bit of rustiness was expected, but David Luiz was so ‘rusty’ Mikel Arteta is probably considering selling him for scrap at the earliest opportunity.

Luiz came off the bench after about 20 minutes and by the time he was sent off in the 49th he’d managed to gift City their opener, give away the penalty that led to their second and pick up the straight red - in fairness, Luiz should be applauded as that is more than most players manage to achieve in a season.

The Brazilian, apparently, gives away a penalty every 6.5 games for Arsenal which takes a fair amount of effort. I mean, you really have to be trying to achieve those levels - they don’t just happen by luck.

Apparently, the club immediately appealed the ban, to get it extended until the end of the season.

Over at Goodison, the Champions elect had a makeshift changing room and the referee had a makeshift beard.

Maybe Mike Dean was trying to go incognito, but it felt like the whole match was doing its best not to be noticed. Unexpectedly, Everton went closest to beating their big rivals hitting the post with ten minutes to go.

If Liverpool were able to blame other factors for the delaying of their crowning, their flat performance in this derby will delay it a little further.

Still, it was reassuring to see Richarlison spending as much time on the deck as he did on his feet. Boy, I’ve missed that.

Football might have changed a bit in the last few months but seeing Roy Keane lay into David de Gea at half-time in the Spurs vs United clash and seeing how Jose had set his team up gave me a warm fuzzy feeling that you get when you’ve been lost for a while and then see

a familiar landmark.

To be fair, Keano did have a point. Luke Shaw’s headless chicken routine after the poor header, Harry Maguire respecting the full two-metres as he allowed Steven Bergwin to gallop past him and De Gea’s hilarious attempt to stop a moving ball all needed comment - and Roy did not go into the challenge half-heartedly.

As for Jose, he clearly spent the time off working out what his new blueprint for football is - what’s that Jose? Sit deep, break the game up and then hope you nick something on the break? Genius - I cannot believe you failed to try that earlier in your career.

Mourinho was keen to see United’s Bruno Fernandes ‘exposed’ after the game - maybe he didn’t get his invite into the showers post-match. More importantly, Jose surpassed even my predictions that he might wait until next week before moaning about the lack of quality available to him by suggesting there wasn’t enough on the Spurs bench. Nine subs are clearly not enough in this day and age.

Did you know Brighton have only won three out of their last 20 Premier League outings? And, guess what? Two of those have been against Arsenal.

Having been utterly out-classed in Manchester, Arteta headed South in the hope of seeing some kind of reaction from his squad. In fairness, they picked up one fewer injury than at the Etihad as Bernd Leno was carried off following being tickled under the chin by Neal Maupay and the goalkeeping graveyard end that also did for Hugo Lloris earlier in the season.

Arsenal did lead, but that was never going to be enough. They ended up ‘getting what they deserved’ which was an embarrassing 2-1 defeat.

It was a new experience for all the West Ham fans on Saturday - actually feeling close to the action for once as they all watched it on TV. Never forget, what the

Las Ramblas Golf Society

Elche CF In, Out & In Elche CF along with their rivals in La Liga Smart Bank, Spain’s 2nd division, are packing in the games to conclude this season.

On Monday 15th Elche had an away trip to Estadio El Toralin Ponferradina, over 7 hours by road this town is officially the coldest place in Spain. Elche took the lead, when 40 year old Captain Nino volleyed home a thunder bolt.

Seconds before half time Elche conceded a dangerous free kick, and the resulting cross was met with a well placed bottom corner header by Ponferradina's Russo, which out of position goalie Edgar couldn't reach. In the second half, the home team stole the win from a crowded box shot, when the ball found the right boot of oncoming Valcarce to give the home team a 2-1 victory.

Coach Pacheta and the players had one draw and one defeat since the restart.

As Friday night’s match approached, we were hoping to complete the collection with one win. We spent the week out of the play off positions, so the

pressure was on for the must win home game against play off placed Girona FC. Watching via the TV, the Estadio Marinez Valero had a new look with superimposed crowds, plus the cardboard cut outs of the season ticket holders.

The first 45 mins was a tough watch. Each side had one chance, and each failed to take that chance. Girona's striker Stuani, cut inside the box from the right and hit a strong shot straight at Edgar the goalie. Either side of him and it would have been a certain goal. Elche’s chance came from Calvo’s header which sailed centimetres over the right corner of the Girona goal. It was 0-0 at half time.

The 2nd half was a different game. Straight from the kick off Girona sent in a long range shot with a bounce which nearly deceived Edgar. From the

Hammers were getting when they recalled David Moyes was a manager who knows how to ‘win’ - maybe that should be changed to ‘knew how to win’ after yet another defeat.

Aaron Cresswell, who had put a decent shift in, must have been delighted to see a fresh Adama Traore coming on for the last little bit at the Athletics Stadium - it was Traore who then did the damage to give Wolves another three points and drag the Hammers nearer the trap door.

Luckily for them, Bournemouth don’t seem too fussed on finding a way out. In theory, Crystal Palace at home was not the worst match to restart with when you are hoping to find some form. It was the first Premier League match on the BBC since forever but it won’t exactly live long in the memory.

The Cherries started brightly, David Brooks back from injury looking like he might be the spark required.

That was until Palace scored, however and then scored again. That’s four wins and four clean sheets in a row for Uncle Roy and the E word was been mentioned.

Lockdown gave Norwich City a chance to go away, think about how recklessly open they’ve been at times and come back with a new focus to stave off the likely drop.

You know what? I don’t think they bothered.

Danny Ings managed to keep his goalscoring momentum in full flow as the Saints celebrated Ralphy boy getting a new deal by making the Canaries yodel their tune.

Watford are also fighting for their lives and did actually show some fight - Craig Dawson equalising late, late late against Leicester who had led through Ben Chilwell adding an extra £10m to the quote they are giving Chelsea.

Speaking of Chelsea, all these new signings they are making and it’s still down to stalwarts Cesar Azpilicueta and Olivier Giroud to bail them out.

corner Elche broke up the right. Josan took off, finishing near the goal corner surrounded by 4 defenders.

He found the strength and vision to send a high, up and over cross to the waiting new kid on the block, young Dani Escriche. On 47 minuets Dani calmly headed the ball in for 1-0 lead. A great assist and goal. Girona were not put off and responded with a goal, only to have it over ruled as a clear off side. As the match continued Elche were having to do more and more defending and Edgar pulled off some superb saves to keep Elche 1-0 up, until the final whistle.

Elche now have 50 points and are back in the play off positions!

The next match is on Tuesday 23rd at home against Deportivo La Coruna and then again on Saturday 27th away at Las Palmas.

So, into week two at our temporary home of Villamartin. We kicked off with a 2 ball better ball which saw Pete Dunn and Petina Murray, with 43 points, take 1st place on countback from Paul Brown and AnneMarie Weisheit. In 3rd and again on countback, with 42 points, were Richard Connock and myself.

(Although to be fair I contributed very little).

Before moving on I would like to thank whoever it was that left a very decent Cobra golf bag at my local bins. It looked very smart indeed as I used it on Wednesday. Just one thing; could you dump the rain hood when next you’re passing!

On a far more serious note

the news came in this week that one of our members, Willie Thorne, had sadly passed away.

Our condolences go out to all his family and friends.

Wednesday’s individual Stableford produced some great scores. After quite a spell in the wilderness Ken Robertson won with 40 points and he was followed by Graham Murray on 39. Reg Akehurst took 3rd with 36points (24 of those coming on the back 9)!

Friday saw us compete in best 2 scores from 4 to count and all on the par 5s. Winning, with 101 points, were Mike Brentnall, Richard Connock, Nigel Price and Joyce McClusky (despite being hit by one of Nigel’s more wayward shots)!

Quite some way behind them but taking second place with 93 points were Pat Cassidy, Nora Betts, Alan Carter and Reg Akehurst.

This week’s quote goes to none other than Arnold Palmer who once commented, ‘I have a tip that can take five strokes off your score. It’s called an eraser’.

Pues, hasta la semana que viene Peter Reffell

Frank Lampard’s men were 1-0 down at Villa following yet another example of chocolate wrists from Kepa but once Dave floated one up to the back stick for Pulisic the tide was turned. 90 seconds later, the big French beardyman spun and saw the winner deflect home meaning Chelsea, right now, must be favourites for 4th place.

Can someone please take a few moments to explain Newcastle United to me? I am still very confused. They are for sale and have been for ages. Their pending takeover seems to have kept some media companies in content over the last few months - yet nothing actually seems to be happening and, at some point, someone is going to realise that it’s not really happening - a standard Mike Ashley ruse.

And then the team itself - every single predicted this and predicted that statistic I see sees Steve Bruce’s team rock bottom of the league and yet here they are, spanking Sheffield United 3-0 and sitting pretty in 12th - a whole 17 points higher than where their performances suggest they should be.

I think we can all agree John Egan’s sending off was the turning point given that it was 0-0 at the time, Joelinton clearly wasn’t going to score if he stayed out there all day and the Blades were in control.

Funny how things change - Dean Henderson might be dreaming of replicating De Gea at Old Trafford but he might be copying the wrong habits given how he ushered home Matt Ritchie’s strike - social distancing between him and his near post (I think that’s at least four now, is anyone counting). And yes, even big Joe got on the scoresheet.

Sack Steve Bruce? Don’t be daft.
