‘Real’ Brexit talks will only begin after snap general election That was the message from Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the EU Commission, to Theresa May during a phone conversation between the pair following her call for an early return to the polls. “Following their conversation, the president considers that the real political negotiations on Article 50 with the United Kingdom will start after the elections foreseen for the 8th June,” said a commission spokesman, referring to EU treaty rule that regulates the exit of a member state from the bloc.

This runs contrary to the remarks earlier this week in response to the news of a snap general election by a spokesperson for the Prime Minister, who said that the two-year talks with Brussels would continue without delay. Juncker is set to visit London on Wednesday following an invitation by May to discuss the the article 50 negotiations. Brexit talks must conclude by 29th March 2019 according to the rules of Article 50, which allow for a two-year negotiating period. The UK prime minister made the announcement of a quick general election on the steps of 10 Downing Street in London, after months of favourable polls for the Conservative Party, and after months of Downing Street denying she would call one. May said: “I want to explain the reasons

for that decision, what will happen next and the choice facing the British people when you come to vote in this election. Last summer, after the country voted to leave the European Union, Britain needed certainty, stability and strong leadership, and since I became Prime Minister the Government has delivered precisely that. “Despite predictions of immediate financial and economic danger, since the referendum we have seen consumer confidence remain high, record numbers of jobs, and economic growth that has exceeded all expectations. “We have also delivered on the mandate that we were handed by the referendum result.” She added: “It was with reluctance that I decided the country needed this election but it is with conviction that I say it is necessary…so tomorrow let the House of

Commons vote for an election, let everybody put forward their proposals for Brexit and their vision for Government.” The Tory leader also took the opportunity to take a dig at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. May added: “It will be a choice between strong and stable leadership in the national interest, with me as your Prime Minister, or weak and unstable government under a coalition led by Jeremy Corbyn…every vote for the Conservatives will make me stronger when I negotiate for Britain with the European Union.”

planned Spanish State Visit to the UK in June will be postponed until July,” Buckingham Palace announced in a tweet. The Spanish king and his wife Letizia had been scheduled to visit Britain on June 68, but will now do so a month later, on July 12-14. The Spanish royal couple had already been forced to postpone their planned visit last year because of the political crisis in Spain. The last Spanish state visit to Britain was that of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia in 1986.

Postponed Spanish visit Following the announcement, Spain's King Felipe VI has postponed his visit to Britain due to the UK’s general election on 8th June. “Her Majesty The Queen and The King of Spain have agreed that the

BITE SIZE Busy Easter for the police NEWS: It’s been a long time coming and some people thought it never would. Now we are on the final countdown to the opening day of the market. The stall holders have all been officially notified and the bus routes are now set. The opening date is now ready to be released and there would seem to be no further impediments to the move to its new site in the Antonio Sorio Park finally taking place. The siting of the new market has many benefits including improved security. As it is in an enclosed space a police officer at both entrances can keep an eye on those entering and exiting the market. It will take some people a little while to get used to the new venue. However, in the long term it is expected to be a significant improvement and hopefully draw customers from even further afield.

Looking for foster parents It can be difficult enough finding a job in the current climate, let alone when you are living in a car with a cat and a dog. This is the predicament currently facing one inhabitant of Torrevieja. The owner is currently looking for temporary foster parents to take care of her two animals whilst she finds a job and can address her current living situation. She has been homeless for a month and her base is her car. However, she is Continued on page 5

deficiencies were found. All the different anomalies have been logged and this should lead to improvements in the taxi services in Torrevieja. The police have intervened in two fights which included a number of people and lead to injuries in some cases. The people involved were charged with public order offences. In only the last few days, the GRO have detained three people. The first was arrested for presenting irregular documents for a vehicle with false plates.

illegal trader. In Torrevieja market there was an increased police presence to clamp down on theft by pickpockets. On the roads they operated eight checkpoints for vehicles in different parts of the town and this led to nine charges for the possession of illegal substances and dangerous weapons. In total, 52 vehicles were inspected and 84 people had their identity checked. There were five check points for excessive speed and a total of eighteen vehicles were reported. The police carried out a security and documentation inspection of 86 taxi licences and 73% of these inspections revealed minor deficiencies in the paper work. In the case of 14 licences, major deficiencies were spotted. In two cases some very serious

The second case involved a person avoiding arrest who fled the scene but was later tracked down and charged with not having a driving licence and other offences. The final arrest was of a man on probation who had barricaded himself in a relative’s home and threatened several people with a knife. After obtaining a court order, the police forced down the door, disarmed the man and arrested him without anyone being injured. The successful outcome of this was due to the coordinated work of the Local Police, the GRO and Guardia Civil. The ORG of the Local Police would like to thank their colleagues in the Guardia Civil and those who form the Local Police’s regular shifts, for their support. Suzanne O’Connell

Covera finally set BITE SIZE NEWS: for take-off? Continued from page 3

The government of Murcia has made definitive steps toward reviving the region’s never used international airport in Corvera and is once again putting the management contract for this ‘ghost’ travel hub out to tender. This is despite the failure of other similar ventures in Spain to be successful and despite of the fact it is still embroiled in a long-running legal battle with the first company to win the concession back in 2007. The new phase of this cripplingly expensive aviation saga began on 25th

March with the bidders’conditions released in the Official Journal of the European Union. Interested companies have until 2nd May to register. After that date, those who can provide proof of financial buoyancy and experience will have two months to provide detailed technical and economic plans. Corvera airport received an initial investment of €270 million and building work on it is all but finished. But the facility was never opened to the public and, in December 2015, the regional government was forced to cancel the contract with Madrid-based Sacyr on the grounds that the company granted the concession had exceeded its allotted time period. The subsequent legal battle between Sacyr and Murcia’s authorities has become increasingly complex and is now headed for the High Court.

Corvera is the first regional airport to be put out to tender since the frenzy to open small airports across Spain began sapping resources and leading – in the case of Castellón and Ciudad Real, to years of disuse – or, in the case in Huesca, Lérida, Salamanca, León, La Rioja, Burgos and Albacete, to crippling losses absorbed by the airport networks. When it opens, it will replace the region’s San Javier airport, which is essentially a military air base currently used for commercial flights. According to estimates from Murcia’s Department of Development and Infrastructure, Corvera will be able to welcome 800,000 foreign tourists in the first four years, pushing total passenger traffic up to 3.5 million a year, a figure which could, in time, rise to 5 million. It will also create 20,000 jobs and raise regional GDP by 3.5 percentage points. These passenger figures would mean revenue of €495.8 million (€600 million including sales tax) in the first 25 years. A complementary activities zone totaling 600,000 square meters is also on the cards, with profits from it remaining in private hands. The successful bidder will be able to establish fees and negotiate with airline operators – a freedom which should improve competitiveness in the Alicante, Murcia and Almería regions and allow for more efficient management, according to the authorities. Meanwhile, the regional government has introduced two conditions to recoup some of the taxpayer money that has been sunk into the project: the successful bidder will pump €0.73 per passenger into state coffers for the first 10 years, €2.09 per passenger in the five years following that, €2.27 in the subsequent five years and €2.56 for the last five years. A total of 10 percent of income earned by cargo airline companies on cargo weighing more than 50,000 tons will also be paid to the region. There will also be incentives to increase passenger traffic; if there are more than 2.5 million passengers a year, the successful bidder will get a discount of 5 percent; another 5 percent discount will be applied if numbers exceed 400,000 in the winter months, or from November to February.

You can also see there other animals currently at the shelter in Torrevieja, waiting to find a home. The page has now reached more than 10,000 followers.

Drivers for Age Concern On Friday 29th April Age Concern took possession of their brand new bus to replace the 12 year-old model they had been using. The bus is an essential part of the service Age Concern provide, transporting people to and from their day centre in La Siesta. The majority of people do not drive and have no other means of accessing the resources there. It’s not only people in Torrevieja who use the facilities but also on the Orihuela Costa and as far as Gran Alacant. Now Age Concern need more drivers to make the best use out of the bus. They need volunteer drivers for most mornings from 10am until 1.30pm. If you think you might be able to help then call into their centre at Calle Paganini s/m urbanisation La Siesta or call 966 786 887.

Tapas time again Following the continuing success of the Ruta de la Tapa in Torrevieja, a second tapas route has become established: ‘Let’s grab some tapas’ or ‘Nos vamos de tapas’. The second of these fun ways of trying different dishes is to be held from the 20th to the 23rd of April and from the 27th to the 30th April. The rules are very similar to the original event. You can choose from a traditional tapas or a tapas of the house and drink for €2.50. You can vote for your favourite tapas and collect stamps from the restaurants and bars you visit and complete the leaflet with your details to be entered in their prize raffle. There is a good range of prizes including dinner for two at the winning restaurant, wine and tickets for a cultural event in Torrevieja. You can find out more at torreviejagastronomica.com where you can find a full list of the participating bars and restaurants by clicking on the leaflet at the top of the page.

‘We had a brilliant time,’ says Crystal. ‘The students absolutely loved it and enjoyed the traditional English food and, of course, the jazz.’ The jazz was provided by the band ‘All That Jazz’ who play there regularly. The group took up two long tables and included 16 people altogether, 11 students and five British volunteers. The conversation classes usually take place at the CIAJ building on Paseo Juan Aparicio by Burger King. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 12pm and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5pm

Occasionally the language group venture out of the CIAJ building and practise their English in activities outside

of class. A few weeks ago they attended a guided tour of the Natural Park of La Mata, given in English. This week, it was jazz at La Marina Bar and not only could the students practise their English at the table but the jazz band came to talk to them during their break too. ‘Everyone was really kind,’ says Crystal. ‘The students really appreciated it.’ Suzanne O’Connell

Recycle your electric items Valencia has launched their second campaign to encourage people to recycle their electric and electronic appliances. The last campaign resulted in more than three tonnes of material being collected. In order to encourage people to join in everyone handing in an item will receive a small gift and could win a much larger one. The campaign began on 27th February ‘Recicla tus aparatos’ or ‘Recyle your appliances’ is aimed at raising awareness of the importance of handing in these types of objects rather than just throwing them away in the usual fashion. In particular it’s batteries, mobiles, toasters, kettles and electric household items that are broken or no longer used in the home. The campaign has been introduced in two phases. The first phase is from February to April in towns in the Valencian community with more than 50,000 inhabitants. After the summer the second phased will be from September to November in towns with between 20,000 and 50,000 residents. The campaign consists of information being displayed in prominent places using a bicycle and trailer. The types of items to be collected include those that are less than 20cm in size and that people accumulate in their homes. The bicycle was in Benidorm on the 18th and 19th April and on the 20th and 21st April it came to Torrevieja. It is important that these items are disposed of correctly instead of finding their way into the normal public bins where they are more likely to cause contamination. Everyone bringing an item for collection will receive a scratch card with the possibility of winning items including Iphone 7, Ipad mini, state-of-the-art TVs, video consoles and a variety of other prizes.

The National Police have arrested a couple of Spanish and Brazilian nationality aged 47 and 43 for committing a crime against public health. The police received information that led them to the house of those arrested where they could witness the coming and going of a number of people. The police watched the premises and could see that drugs were being sold there. Not only that, but some of those purchasing the drugs were consuming them in the vicinity of the property. It had been difficult to make any arrests as those charged were careful not to be caught with the drugs on them. Finally, they were apprehended in possession of drugs and cash. More illegal substances were then found hidden in the roof of their house.

Sikh community celebrate One Sunday 23rd April almost a thousand Sikhs took to the streets of Torrevieja to celebrate ‘Nagar Kirtan’. A colourful parade could be seen making their way through the town with a multicoloured float on which was the ‘Guru Granth Sahib’ which is the Holy Book for this religion.

The Samaritans out and about The Samaritans in Spain have been out and about in Zenia Boulevard making sure that people know about the good work they do. Although their base is in the Punta Marina commercial centre, it wasn’t far for them to go to meet up with people interested in their work and make a collection. A major part of the Samaritans’ work is that of listening. Samaritans in Spain has trained listeners who man the phone lines ready for the people who might call in at any time. It’s a skilled job and requires a great deal of empathy. Empathy is different from sympathy. Whereas you can express sympathy for someone’s problems, empathy is more to do with placing oneself in another person’s shoes. Whatever the Samaritans do for and with the public it is based upon empathetic listening and a solid ethical foundation. The Samaritans are currently on the look out for people who think they might make a good listener. If you think you have the right level of empathy and would like to volunteer your time then you can drop into the shop at the Punta Marina Commercial Centre. You can also enter your details on their website at www.samaritansinspain.com or email pat@samaritansinspain.com . If you would like to talk to someone you can call the Samaritans, their free phone line is 900 525 100. Suzanne O’Connell

Rotary club donates to the animal shelter The department for the protection of animals has received a donation from the Rotary Club of Torrevieja of 50 reflective vests to be worn by the volunteers who walk the dogs currently held in the shelter. The donation was handed to the shelter by the president of the association, Inés Carrasco. The presentation was made on 18th April and the jackets were immediately put into good use. Councillor Carmen Morate explained; ‘this will increase the safety of those walking the dogs who will now be much more visible.’ On the back of the jackets there is the Rotary Club logo and on the front is a picture of some of the dogs and a notice to say that the walker is a volunteer. ‘We want to make sure,’ says Councillor Morate, ‘that people know these are volunteers and also to raise awareness of the dogs that are still waiting to be adopted.’ Torrevieja’s animals shelter has a number of animals waiting for adoption and has a policy of not putting down any health animal. Volunteers are always wanted for walking the dogs as well as for fostering or adopting them. The shelter is situated close to the Local Police station on Avenida los Nenúfares. Dogs waiting for adoption can be seen on their Facebook page Concejalía de Protección Animal de Torrevieja. Suzanne O’Connell

Pop Goes The Choir This is the name of a 50 strong choir from Burnham, England, who will soon be visiting Torrevieja. It might sound like an unusual title but they sing exactly what it says. Pop. The songs they sing span fifty years and they cover lots of well-known popular music from Queen to Madonna. If you would like to hear the choir for free then put the dates in your diary. They are all outside venues and it should make for a very pleasant couple of hours for those who are able to come. They will be performing on Friday 12th May in the Paseo Juan Aparicio (near Playa del Cura) at 5pm; on Saturday 13th May in the Paseo Vistalegre (opposite the tourism office) at 5pm and on Sunday 14th May in La Mata in the Plaza Encarnación Puchol at 12.45 pm. They are coming over specially to perform, an idea first suggested by a couple of the choir members who are regular visitors to Torrevieja and who first proposed the idea last year. The town hall is supporting the event by arranging transport for them and providing the music to accompany them. The choir are performing for free. Pop Goes The Choir are a not-for-profit

organisation who comprise, in total 120 members. They have been together since 2010 and regularly sing to raise money for charities. This will be something rather different for them, although they did perform in the South of France last year. This is an exciting opportunity to listen to an English choir for free in the Costa Blanca sun. You can find out more about them by visiting their website www.popgoesthechoir.net. Let’s give them a warm welcome from the 12th to the 14th May. Suzanne O’Connell

Golden visa brings in the cash In 2013, the Spanish government introduced legislation offering residency permits to large investors and highly qualified professionals. Three years on, 2,236 investors have benefited from the proposal, bringing in €2.16 billion, of which 72 percent has gone into property. The total number of people granted residency in Spain under the so-called Entrepreneur’s Law is now 27,301, including family members. Chinese and Russian millionaires make up 59.4 percent of total investment pumped into Spain through the scheme; 714 Chinese nationals have been granted a golden visa since September 2013 after investing €716 million in property, financial assets and business projects. Close behind come Russians, with 685 visas. This group has invested €567 million. Issuing so-called golden visas has become widespread throughout the European Union over the last two decades, notably in Portugal, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Some 12,891 foreigners have been issued with residency permits under Spain’s Entrepreneur’s Law, and they have brought a further 14,410 family members to live in Spain. Of this total, 5,315 permits have been issued to highly qualified professionals. Among them are 665 Venezuelans, 530 Chinese, and 453 US citizens. More than 3,500 executives posted to Spain by multinational companies have also been granted residency. Finally, 1,483 visas have been issued to foreigners involved in research or training in Spain, led by Colombians, Indians, Chinese, Mexicans and Iranians. In the case of investment, to qualify for the scheme, people are required to spend a

minimum of €2 million on Spanish treasury bonds, or €1 million in stocks or deposits in Spain, or purchase property valued at more than €500,000. Business projects that generate jobs, have a wider positive impact on an area, or contribute to technological or scientific innovation are also accepted as investment. During the first year of the scheme, only 500 or so investors applied, providing around €700 million. Given the limited uptake, in 2015, the government eased the conditions, allowing spouses, children and elderly relatives to be included on visas, as well as extending the period of residency from two to five years. The latest figures show that the number of investors has risen fourfold since 2014, with the amount they have invested increasing three times in the same period. Almost half of properties purchased by people benefiting from the scheme – 893 – were bought in Barcelona, followed by Malaga province at 348, Madrid with 306, and Alicante at 151. After a decade in the doldrums, Spain’s second-residency housing market has been given a boost by overseas buyers, who in 2016 made up 13.7 percent of all purchases; in coastal areas like Alicante, they made up half. British buyers, who traditionally make up a significant percentage, have stepped away from the market in the wake of Brexit and the subsequent decline in the value of the pound. Areas that still have significant amounts of housing stock dating back to the boom years before 2008 and that depend on domestic buyers are still suffering. But areas where foreigners are looking to buy a second home are seeing a return to activity.

Disabled access to submarine On the 19th April the Director of Tourism in Valencia, Raquel Huete, visited the submarine Delfin in Torrevieja port accompanied by the councillor for tourism, Fanny Serrano. The aim of the visit was to consider whether it could be made into part of a tourism trail in the town accessible to disabled people. The route would include other key sites that are linked to the sea and salt. Councillor Serrano has been working with the disabled association COCEMFE on the route which aims to incorporate floating museums, the salt works, the Salt and Sea Museum (Museo del Mar y de la Sal), the Eras de la Sal port area and other related sites in the town.

According to Councillor Serrano, Raquel Huete was impressed by the state of conservation of the submarine and considered it to be a could option, particularly as this is the only permanent submarine exhibit. Next week the submarine will be visited by Dean of the Engineering College in order to agree to the modifications that would be necessary to make it accessible. The town council are keen that the route is accepted for publication within the Valencian Guide to accessible venues. They also want to see access increased to the Natural Park.

It’s Carry On with a difference It’s only three weeks to go and tickets are selling fast for Stagestruck’s performance of ‘Up Pompeii’. It’s a musical comedy that

shares some similarities with Frankie Howerd’s Carry on series. There’s a wide range of characters played by the familiar cast of 25 and their names are something of a giveaway. For example, there’s Grovello the head slave to the Senator and Saliva the Soothsayer. These characters share similarities with Lurcio and Senna from the original television programme broadcast between 1969 and 1970. There are similarities but this is not a clone. The Stagestruck version includes a selection of songs and the script is tailored to its Costa

Blanca audience. The theatre group are concentrating their efforts now during the final weeks of rehearsals. If you would like to come and see them in action, the performance is from Thursday 11th May to Saturday 13th May at the Cardenal Belluga Theatre in San Fulgencio. The tickets only cost €7 and this includes a drink on arrival. Proceeds from ticket sales goes to local charities and in the last two years, Stagestruck has donated a total of €14,000, the main beneficiary being the AFA Alzheimer's Association. Tickets are on sale at The Post Box, Quesada, The Post Room, Benijofar, The Card Place, Benimar, Cards and More, La Marina, Kennedy's Supermarket, Montesinos, Leaf's (Formerly Marabu Lounge), La Marina. Alternatively you can reserve tickets by calling Leigh on 679679584 or email leigh.humphries58@gmail.com. Suzanne O’Connell

Councillor cuts the ribbon for HELP HELP Vega Baja has once more opened its doors in Torrevieja. The HELP centre had closed for a temporary period due to refurbishment and whilst plans were made for its future. It reopened again on Tuesday 18th April. The Councillor responsible for charities, Carmen Morate, officially cut the ribbon to the HELP office accompanied by the president, Michele Masson. The office is located in Rambla de Juan Mateo 4, near Queen Burger, and provides a whole range of services to those who need them. Councillor Morate said; ‘This is a new stage in the collaboration between the town hall and the HELP Vega Baja association. It is particularly beneficial that the OARI office in the plaza de Capdepont is so close to the HELP offices and we can work together in providing assistance.’ Michele Masson explained that the group has been based in Torrevieja for 35 years and is delighted at the opportunity to work more closely with the town hall to ensure support is provided. Michele pointed out that the association has 1,600 members of whom 1,400 live in the Vega Baja. A large amount of money is raised each year to help support the association with €26,000 being raised last year alone. HELP are involved in many different activities, including visiting people in hospital, providing friendship and visits for those living alone, support groups for diabetics and those ill with Parkinson’s disease. They have a lawyer on hand, conversation classes in castellano and provide arts and crafts opportunities.

Ideas for ways in which they can help are always welcome. The Torrevieja office will be open from 10am to 1.30pm on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays. When there are more volunteers it will open every morning of the week. There is currently a table available in one of the offices if another organisation would like to use it. You are very welcome to visit the newly refurbished centre and you can

obtain more information by calling 966 723 733, visiting their page www.helpvegabaja.com or by emailing the president on president@helpvegabaja.com Councillor Carmen Morate thanked Michele Masson and all those who volunteer to help keep the organisation going. Suzanne O’Connell

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE In view of the potentially worrying developments over the last fortnight investors have been remarkably sanguine in their attitude to risk. North Korea, Syria and Ukraine are just three of the areas investors are refusing to worry about. They were positively joyful when the British prime minister announced a general election at short notice, even though they can have no idea what she intends to do, Brexitwise, with her presumably increased majority. Over the last two weeks the euro strengthened by two thirds of a US cent and lost two and a quarter cents to the charging pound. Last week it was thought Monday could see some pressure put on the euro; there was a degree of unease about the weekend's first round of voting in the French presidential election. Investors' nightmare about a

run-off between two anti-EU extremists failed to come to pass. In the first round of the French presidential election Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen made it through to round two. As far as investors are concerned that's job done for President Macron. Although the US dollar had a better fortnight than its northern neighbour, as mentioned it did not do particularly well. It was not that investors became suddenly concerned about the US economy, more that they struggled to be enthusiastic about it. Jobs, inflation and retail sales data all failed to meet expectations. The White House is still banging the drum about tax cuts but, after the fiasco of the health care bill, the market will believe them when it sees them.

Equine sanctuary devastated Easter tourism boom over police inactivity An Alicante-based equine sanctuary has called on Spanish police forces to act more quickly in cases of animal abuse after delays prevented the rescue of two severely neglected horses in Valencia. Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre co-founders Sue and Rod Weeding were shocked to receive damning photos of the two obviously starving horses on 19th March, part of evidence collected for an official “denuncia” police report made by lawyers from Valencia’s College of Lawyers (Animal Rights Section). The lawyers were desperately seeking a refuge for the neglected horses, as Spain’s authorities have no facilities to house seized equines, meaning such animals often remain with their owner even after an official denuncia has been made. Sue and Rod instantly agreed to take the two horses but nearly a month of delays and inaction by local authorities, including police and Seprona, followed. This week the two neglected horses, as well as a dog with visible head wounds, disappeared from the Valencia property, presumably moved by the owner to prevent their rescue. The animals’ whereabouts and welfare is now unknown. “We are devastated. It’s just so upsetting when you think how many weeks this has gone on and that these animals are literally starving,” Sue said. “We’ve been doing this for many years now but when we see photos like that, it still upsets us deeply. We just want to rescue these animals and help them. It’s so frustrating. We nearly got them and then we lost them.” The Valencian lawyers continue to look into

the horses’ whereabouts, but hold little hope of finding them. Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated event. Over the nine years the Weedings have run the Rojales sanctuary, they’ve seen similar cases on many occasions. Sue explained that Spain’s current animal welfare system requires a rescue centre to agree to take any abused equine before it can be legally seized. Yet the government doesn’t provide any funding to centres like Easy Horse Care. This also requires strong cooperation between local authorities and rescue centres, so abused animals can be rescued quickly before neglectful owners have time to move them. “I can’t praise the police in our area enough. The problem is, in other parts of Spain, there aren’t organisations like ours that can take equines,” Sue said. Sue called for the government to fund centres like Easy Horse Care and appealed to the police to act on denuncia reports as quickly as possible to help lift animal welfare across Spain. “Through our charity shops and donations we’ve managed to get where we are, but we so desperately need funding,” she said. “For the police to do their work, they need to have somewhere to place these animals.” The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work. Located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, the centre opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

The Councillor for Tourism, Sofía Álvarez has use the information collected by the tourist offices of the city during the celebration of Easter’s Holy Week and announced that tourism was booming. Compared to the previous year the municipality received 22 percent more visits and of the more than 3,000 people who passed through the tourist office, 2,188 were nationals, while 838 were international visitors, mostly from European countries. According to the records of the Department of Tourism, the most downloaded

from tourism. Spain as a whole shattered even the most optimistic forecasts for tourist arrivals during the Easter break. The good weather encouraged last-minute tourists to make the most of the holiday time that ended on Sunday or Monday, depending on the region. Industry sources confirmed high occupancy rates not just at the usual coastal destinations, but also in cities and in rural enclaves. According to the Minister of Public Works Minister, Íñigo de la Serna, occupancy rates were 10 percent higher compared to the same period last year. A record 75 million foreign visitors came to Spain last year, and the tourism industry is hoping to set a new high this year, based on the positive Easter figures. Average hotel occupancy rates were between 85 percent and 90 percent in inland destinations, and 90 percent on the coast, according to numbers released by the industry group CEHAT.

Alternative accommodation

document has been the itinerary for Holy Week. The Councillor also noted that beyond the people who passed through the tourist office, the streets of Orihuela were full during the processions, and the coast was full in terms of hotel occupancy thanks to the good weather experienced over the holidays. Part of the success in attracting tourists this Easter has been attributed to online promotion. Since January, www.orihuelaturistica.es has received 28,000 direct hits and 35,000 from other sites that are linked to the webpage. The digital portal received visits mainly from Spain, France, USA, Ukraine, UK, Belgium and Russia. And Orihuela wasn’t the only area benefitting

Rural lodgings enjoyed a spike thanks to increased tourism by Spaniards following the rebound of the economy. This type of tourism depends to a great extent on national visitors, who make up 75 percent of annual overnight stays. The challenge now is to keep visitors coming throughout the rest of the year, and raising rates again. Tourist apartments are also surging as an alternative option to hotel stays, especially on the coast. Besides those which are run by professional agencies, growing numbers of private owners are offering accommodation on websites such as Airbnb despite a growing confrontation with city authorities in places like Madrid or Barcelona, who say the practice is pushing up the rent for local residents and forcing them out of their neighborhoods. And Palma de Mallorca recently announced plans to ban tourist apartments altogether by the summer.

City landscaping can be boring. It is usually based on the idea of minimal maintenance, minimal plant cost, and marginally acceptable aesthetics. But occasionally, it surprises even me.

I happened to pass by La Caixa opposite “Parque de las Naciones” in Torrevieja just as the magnificent Silk floss trees (Ceiba speciosa/Chorisia speciosa) were in full bloom. Wow! I always notice how many of these trees there are around town when they are in bloom there are more of them than we think. Considered one of the most beautiful trees in the world, the Silk floss tree is a deciduous tree and a member of the Bombacaceae, or cotton-tree family. It is also known as “Floss silk tree” and “Kapok tree”. Its common name in Spanish is “Palo borracho” (drunken tree). The common English name of Silk floss tree is more readily understood as the seeds are surrounded by a white, fluffy, silk-like material. It is a fast growing tree ideal for spring and summer shade that can grow up to 60 feet (18 m) tall and almost as wide. A native of tropical climates of Brazil and Argentina, it prefers warm, humid environments, but can survive temperatures down to -7°C on an occasional basis, which means it survives fine here. Silk floss tree is known for its beautiful flowers, large seedpods with a silky, cottony substance (kapok) within, and large thorns that grow from the greenish bark of the trunk protecting the trunk and limbs. The thorns are cone shaped and make you think twice before becoming a tree-hugger or

trying to climb it. There is also a grafted thornless variety, but I don't think they are as decorative as the spiny ones. Pale green leaves will emerge from the tree in spring, and when the leaves drop in autumn, they are replaced by spectacular star-shaped flowers in shades ranging from creamy white, through varying shades of pink, to dark red or purple. The flowers are often compared to lilies or hibiscus. They have five

distinct petals and may be 4 to 6 inches (10-15cm) across. The trees are very showy when in peak bloom. The older the tree, the better the flower display. The flowers are replaced by inedible, avocado shaped fruits up to six inches (15cm) in length. The fruit is a capsule, consistent with most trees in this family, and is filled with seeds embedded in silky, white floss. When mature, the pods split open releasing the seeds to be dispersed by the wind. Silk floss trees are happy in most soils with good drainage, are very drought tolerant, and have no pest problems worth mentioning. For

this reason, they are frequently planted in parks and along roadsides. It is also a premier tree choice for your landscape, but is not a tree for a small garden. Plant the tree in full sun with plenty of room to spread. Do not plant it near any structures as it will get big and eventually cause problems with its extensive roots and canopy. The trees can be a bit messy (leaves, flowers, fruit), but I find the mess easy to clean up compared with many other plants. How to grow your own silk floss trees Propagation is usually by seeds. Sow seeds from spring to early summer. Use a mix of humus and garden soil. Plant seeds at 1 inch (2.5 cm) of depth and keep the plants at temperatures higher than 15°C. Water regularly, without letting the soil dry out for more than a day. Give your plants a rich fertilizing treatment once a month. Your seeds should germinate in 4 to 6 months, but it could be more - don’t get discouraged. Keep young plants away from strong winds, but always give them light and sun.The young trees start out growing fast, straight, and narrow, then slowly develop broadly spreading umbrella canopies as they age. With individual trees grown from seed there can be variations in the flower colours; more pink, more rose, etc. Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO MANILA with Vivalia Travel The city is sprawling, bustling, and culturally complicated, with a colorful multi-cultural heritage and varied nightlife.

MANILA is the capital of the Philippines and the nation's center of education, business, and transportation. Manila has a reputation as a congested, polluted concrete jungle, and is often overlooked as a mere stopover for travelers aiming to reach other Philippine provinces or islands. To an extent this reputation is deserved, but Manila is nevertheless rapidly developing and has its own rich history and experiences to offer. The city is sprawling, bustling, and culturally complicated, with a colorful multicultural heritage and varied nightlife. THINGS TO SEE AND DO The main tourist sites of Manila are located along Manila Bay. You can visit: Baywalk, south of the Luneta is the renovated Baywalk a linear park adjacent to Manila Bay. Restaurants formerly on the actual baywalk have been moved inwards to allow a clear view of Manila's legendary sunsets. Bonifacio Shrine - A shrine in honour of Andres Bonifacio who was one of the Filipinos who struggled and fought for freedom for the country against the Spanish forces. Coconut Palace - a residence commissioned and built along the waterfront by First Lady Imelda Marcos for Pope John Paul II's visit in 1981. While open to the public at some point, it is currently (as of June 2011) occupied by the current Vice President and still open for public visits. Plaza San Luis - A commercial complex consisting five

house; Casa Manila, Casa Urdaneta, Casa Blanca, Los Hidalgos and El Hogar Filipino. Plaza San Luis showcases Filipino-Hispanic Architecture. Other than Souvenir shops there is a museum in Casa Manila. You can also visit different Museums such as Casa Manila, San Agustin Museum or Museum of Filipino Political History. On the other hand, you can go to Rizal Park Tour. This park is the Philippines' answer to Paris' Jardin des Tuileries or Washington Mall. Gaze at Rizal Monument, a must stopping point for Heads of State visits, the Japanese & Chinese Gardens, the National Museum, the Planetarium, the Ocean Park, the Museo Pambata, as well as the Quirino Grandstand, the oath-taking stand for Presidential inaugurations. EAT AND DRINK Manila is a national hub of regional cooking and has almost all the regions of the Philippines represented either in exclusively regional eateries or featured with other cuisines. General restaurants, either catering for the working class or the elite, can offer varied dishes coming from every region and cater for almost everyone's taste palette. For example, the northern region called Ilocos has its favorite fare called Pinakbet approved by practically everyone but still closely identified as Ilocano fare. You can taste different dishes as Pinakbet - vegetable dish seasoned with fermented fish or Papaetan - tripe seasoned with bile secretion. Relleno, Pastel, Cocido or Pansit palabok (noodle dish) are other typical dishes in the area. Adobo, now considered as National Dish, it's pork, beef, chicken, or practically anything marinated in soy sauce and vinegar. Also, A very localised drinking experience in Manila are beer gardens (or beerhouses as commonly called). They are scattered mostly around the working districts of Sampaloc, Santa Mesa, Quiapo and even the tourist belt areas of Ermita and Malate.

Albatera Mobile Home Park

Located in the Albatera countryside, the newest mobile home park on the Costa Blanca is an ideal early retirement site for the over 50s. Set in quiet surroundings, the newly built, fully legal mobile home park offers affordable Spanish living to a very high standard. The park itself is an easy walk from Albatera town with its public swimming pool and gym as well as a plethora of bars, coffee shops and restaurants. Located just 30 minutes from blue flag beaches and near the large indoor shopping centre, Nueva Condominia, there is never a shortage of ideas for days out. The town square of Albatera has cafes and is a great place to sit back, relax and watch the world go by. Albatera also has a busy market every Thursday with fresh fruit, vegetables, textiles and gifts on sale by local vendors. If you enjoy the great outdoors, Albatera Mobile Home Park is adjacent to a number of popular countryside walking routes or, if mountain walking is more your style, a ten minute drive will bring you to the

nearby mountains with stunning scenery and excellent walking routes. The local train service brings you to the cities of Alicante and Murcia for shopping trips or days out, and within a short drive of the mobile home park are a range of pretty Spanish villages just waiting to be explored. The mobile home park makes a great choice for retirees and those taking early retirement. It is a quiet, rural park just thirty minutes from Alicante airport. You are free to landscape your plot to your own taste with plenty of space to park your car. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, when you make the move, owners Chad and Jayne are more than happy to guide you through settling in to Spain and can help with paperwork, local advice and information about doctors, hospitals etc. Plots for rent and mobile homes for sale.

Spring fair extravaganza for Elche Children Elche Children's Care Home would like to say huge thanks to Ki, owner of MJ’s, as not only did she organise the 11 'till 11 fundraiser recently which raised over €600, her aim is to raise €5000 for this charity before the end of the year. Richie Sparks came up trumps once again for the Children’s Home with Big FM conducting a live outside broadcast on the day with Richie, Nick Gold and Dean Alexanda all entertaining the crowd. There was a VIP Fashion Show by Glamour Glamour with clothes from Madrid and London, a Cake Competition organised by Julie Butler with first second and third prizes going to - Pam King, Francesca Catt and Diane Cumberland. The prizes were a meal for two at Patagonia Steak House in Quesada - another restaurant coming on board to support Elche Children’s Home - a cookery lesson at Da Silva's and a wooden spoon for third prize. However, this was added to by

George and Pedro at Da Silva's who added a €20 voucher to the wooden spoon prize to spend at their restaurant in Quesada. Toastmaster Derek Timmins-Jones was there throughout the day to keep things in some kind of order and photographer Kristoff did a splendid job. Magician Graeme Mykal was as magic as ever, entertaining more than 40 children after the colouring competition with winners Olivia and Oliver. Then finally Paris put her dance troupe through its paces. It was a full and lively day with beautician Lisa Daley

getting a spot on Big FM as Dean Alexanda put himself in her capable hands after agreeing to have his legs waxed for charity. - Dean raised €200 and that was all before 7.00pm. The night was still young and from 7.00pm until 11.00pm it was wall-to-wall music with a fantastic line up including: Paul Christie, Melissa Jade, Cherry K, Andy Jones, Terry Morgan and Nick Gold. Ki said: “I'm working on more charity events at MJ’s now with my team and plans are in place for the next event which will have a ‘Kinda Magic’ all of it’s own! First thing is I would like to thank my staff and friends and supporters for their help as this event has taken four weeks of organisation. I can't do all of this on my own so huge thanks to everyone who helped.” Three raffle prizes are still unclaimed from The Spring Fair 2017 - 356 White 572 Green and 131 Pink.

The Good Old Days Wine consumption in Charity

The members of Campoverde Theatre Group are pleased to offer another great evening out. Join them for the group’s next supper show, when it will pay homage to that classic BBC programme The Good Old Days. The audience is kindly invited to get imaginative and go along in Edwardian finery; long dresses for the ladies and big hats that can be decorated as elaborately as the imagination allows. Just like the television programme of the same name the Theatre Group will have its own compare who has been busy finding long words and flowery language, just like Leonard Sachs. The show will be full of songs that everyone will remember or have learnt from their parents, and the audience is invited to join the company and have a good sing along to the old standards. The show will have something for everyone, singing, dancing, a little

magic, and will remind people of songs your parents and grandparents used to sing. Olde Time Music Hall was one of the standard types of traditional fashioned theatre and is once again undergoing a revival on BB4 television every Friday evening. Campoverde Theatre Group donated more than 2,500 euros to local charities last year and the proceeds of this show will go to a very worthwhile local charity, Help at Home, which offers invaluable help to local residents who are ill, need short term support, transport to health services, hospital visiting and more. Go along and help the group raise funds for this very worthwhile charity. The supper show will be performed on Wednesday 3rd May, Thursday 4th May and Friday 5th May at Fiesta Plaza, formerly known as Breakaways, Calle Republica Dominica, Urb. Pueblo Principe. Tickets are available from the Ticket Line: ctgticketline@gmail.com or telephone : 626 772 256. You can also purchase tickets directly from The Book Shop, San Miguel or why not drop into the Community Centre, Blue Lagoon (Monday and Wednesday 2-4 pm).

Spain rises for first dog show time in decades success

The consumption of wine in Spain inched up in 2016 by somewhere between 2.5 percent and 4 percent to hit 9.8 million hectoliters, halting decades of declining demand according to new figures from the Spanish Wine Market Observatory (OeMv). This rise in consumption, which is based on sales, can be put down to Spain’s improving economic situation and a more mature and competitive industry, said OeMv director Rafael del Rey. The director highlighted the increasing variety of wine on offer and a change in the image of the beverage in the country as well as improved branding and marketing by wine producers and regional wine organisations. The small increase last year marks a turning point after a long period of decline. In the 1970s, average annual wine consumption in Spain was above 40 liters per head but this has since dropped off dramatically, hitting just 21 liters per head in 2014, according to Californian industry group the Wine Institute. That means Spain is at the bottom of the rankings for wine consumption among producer counties put together by the Californian group, with experts saying Spanish wine consumption is far below what would be expected. The 9.8 million hectoliters sold in Spain last year is far below the country’s average production of around 42 million hectoliters.

In response, the Spanish wine industry is now planning to launch a strategy aimed at boosting wine consumption in the country, with a special focus on attracting younger generations of drinkers. Spain is the world leader in wine exports, shipping 22.7 million hectoliters overseas in 2016 for total earnings of €2.64 billion. But the average price of exported wine is only €1.18 per litre as more than 50percent of all exports are of low-grade wine.

Highest wine consumers The Vatican, has the highest wine consumption in the world at 53.83 litres per head per year. Croatia and Slovenia are second (44 litres), then France (42.5), Portugal (41.7) and Italy (33). The UK figure is 22 litres.

Telitec hosted a charity dog show and Easter egg hunt to great success, raising €793.80 for Los Infiernos Perrera plus 6 x 20kg bags of dog food, at €25 per bag. Organiser Sandi told the Costa Blanca People, “The proceeds from the photos sold are also to be split between the three animal charities that were there helping out. Los Infiernos Perrera Supporters, Big Reds Animal Retreat and Galgos Del Sol. This year’s event has been amazing and the total is still going up.” Any of the participants who wish to purchase a professional photo of their dog on the day can contact Sandi directly. Photos are available for just €5 with proceeds being added to the total raised on the day. Sandi said, “Massive thanks to compere Stevie Spit and to the Celtic Isle for providing the venue. Also to Seagate, Fonefix and Avalon for their sponsorship and to Expat Pensions for sponsoring the annual cup.”

APAH goes to Iceland Once again staff at the Iceland store in San Javier have chosen to support local animal charity APAH throughout 2017 and recently hosted an Easter Fair in aid of the cause. Luckily the weather on the day was sunny and Iceland's staff and customers were as supportive of APAH as ever. Thanks to the hard work of APAH's volunteers, there were lots of raffle tickets sold for the chance to win some fabulous prizes. These included: Iceland vouchers, and meals and gifts kindly donated by local businesses. There was a Tombola stall, which proved very popular with customers, a bric-a-brac stall with a wide range of items for sale and a chance for Iceland's customers to enjoy a coffee and a toasted Hot Cross Bun.

The raffle was drawn at the end of the fair, and the photo shows the lucky winner of the food hamper, put together by APAH, which was presented on Monday by Iceland store manager, Lisa. The total amount raised was 871.14 euros, and APAH would like to thank everyone who was involved in one way or another for all their hard work and support. The next fund-raising event at Iceland San Javier will be a Summer Fair at the beginning of July. Lucky winner

Is it too late at our age?

Lost opportunity

I feel stupid writing at my age. My husband and I have been married for 59 years but recently I discovered he has been visiting a lady we know from the bowling club. My husband says it’s only friendship, but he kept their meetings hidden from me. When I ask him why he kept it secret he said, he knew how I would react and they are only providing company for each other - there‘s no funny business going on. We’ve been very happy since moving to Spain, and now I am so hurt.

I have been really attracted to a guy who delivers to our office, for years now. I even think I am in love with him. To my shock and surprise he asked me out once, but I bottled it and said no. Another two years passed and last week I was very upset to discover that he was getting engaged. I can’t believe how stupid I have been for losing out on this chance to date him. I was so affected I had to take two weeks off work.

PULLMANTUR HORIZON

You have no other choice now but to move on. Sadly you had the opportunity to go out on a date with this guy, and he has now found someone else. It sounds like you may lack confidence in yourself, and you may benefit from some coaching in increasing your confidence. What you mustn’t do is lick your wounds for too long. Put it down to experience, and make sure you definitely don’t waste any more time finding that special someone.

You have been married for a long time, and your husband’s reason for not telling you about him seeing this woman seems very dismissive. If it’s company he’s after, he has you doesn’t he? Even after being married for 59 years, he has no right to see someone else behind your back. I would try and pin him down and have a good talk to him about why he felt the need to go elsewhere at this stage in life. Then may be try some couples counselling. WRITE TO SARA IN CONFIDENCE.

HOME WON’T SELL? 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! If you’re selling a home, there’s nothing worse than seeing every other house in your neighbourhood with a sold sign, and yet yours is still sitting pretty on the market, waiting for that elusive buyer to come along. No viewings, no offers and you’re just playing the waiting game. The longer you’re waiting, the more you worry. Is something really wrong with your home? Is it all in your head, or is there something that is not inviting the right buyers in? It could well be that you’re panicking over nothing. Your home will sell. It just may take a little longer than normal. On average a home may sell within 90 days, but some may take 180 days or even a little longer. Take a look around you, at your local property market. If you’ve been on the market for 80 days and the average in your area is 160, you may not have to worry at all. But to be sure, check on these points:• Are your photos good enough? Do they make a great first impression? This is what your buyer is going to see first, so make them count! • Is your home presentable? Is the garden tidy? Are there weeds growing between the tiles? All this, make up for a bad first impression. If your buyers have seen your great photos, but when they turn up for their viewing appointment, all they see are weeds and cracked walls, they won’t want to get out of their car. Don’t let your side down, by not matching your Business Profile

Treat yourself to an overnight stay or just luxury for a day

La Laguna restaurant has a daily set menu of €16 on weekdays and €21 on Saturdays and Sundays which includes a choice of starter, main course dessert, bread and one drink per person.

fancy a snack, the bar also offers a wide variety of delicious tapas, mixed dishes and hamburgers or sandwiches. So if you are wondering where to bring visitors, or want to enjoy ‘something different’ at a price that is the same as many local restaurants, don’t forget that Hotel La Laguna Spa and Golf is open all year around and every day of the week.

photos to the reality! • Your home is too personal to you. This offends a lot of homeowners trying to sell their home, but it is reality. Just because you love having everything you own on display, doesn’t mean your buyer needs to see it all in one go! Less is more – especially when your home is on the market for sale. Pack most of your personal items away before your first viewing appointment. I know it sounds harsh, but if you really want to get your property sold, the less buyers see of you, the better. • Is your price too high? Everything sells, no matter how adorable or ugly it is. But if you’ve rectified everything else and it still hasn’t sold, then reality is, it’s down to the price factor. No matter what you as homeowners think, or even us as Real Estate Agents think, it is the market that decides what sells and what doesn’t. Priced too high – you’ll be left hung out to dry! Priced too low – just watch how fast it’ll go! Priced just right – well… you get my drift!! Lol • Are you making viewing appointments difficult? If your Real Estate Agent doesn’t have a key to your home, you need to make sure you or your key holder are available at short notice. If you’re making it awkward for your buyer to see inside your property, don’t expect them to come back. Don’t forget, there are plenty more homes on the market for them to see. So if your property has been sitting on the market for a while now, look through to make sure you’re keeping on top of your check list: Photos good? Is it presentable? Is it too you? Priced too high? Are you available for viewings? As time goes by, don’t give up. Maybe it’s just time to take a little more action! Think property?

US interest in Spanish property surges The official March report from Kyero.com has, as ever, revealed some interesting insights into the Spanish property market. The portal received 65,473 property enquiries during the month, up 19.55 percent year on year, while visitor numbers reached 594,917, up 41.7 percent. From this wealth of data, Kyero.com reports that UK buyers remain steadfast in their love for Spanish property, despite the triggering of Article 50 towards the end of March. Richard Speigal, Head of Research at Spanish property portal Kyero.com said: “With Prime Minister May emphasizing how slow the Brexit process is going to be, with the UK being hostage to the negotiation cycle, it seems that Brits are happy to take a 'keep calm and carry on' approach to buying homes in Spain. Interest has slowed, but is far from going into reverse - in fact, British visitors to Kyero.com have increased by 30.2 percent over the past year.” While Theresa May seems to be keeping British buyers calm, President Trump's countrymen seem to have found a fresh desire to pick up properties in Spain. US visitors to Kyero.com have surged, up 75.3 percent year on year. US buyers are now firmly in the site's top ten list of

nationalities interested in buying in Spain, as life far away from Donald Trump's America takes on added appeal. Meanwhile, prices across Spain are growing steadily. The

median asking price across Kyero.com’s more than 200,000 listed properties now stands at €244,000, an increase of 5.9 percent over the past year. “When it comes to location, Gran Canaria's Playa Del Ingles has reclaimed the top spot, knocking Torrevieja down into second place once again. Other traditional favourites like Playa De Las Americas in Tenerife and Alicante continue to rank among the most popular destinations for those buying in Spain,” Richard S[eigal added. The biggest mover in terms of the top ten locations is Chiclana De La Frontera in Cadiz, which shot up six places to become the ninth most popular location in March.

With a rich history of sherry production (it's just 40 km from the sherry heartland of Jerez De La Frontera), Chiclana offers visitors easy access to the 'real Spain' - away from the vast hordes of tourists flocking to the beaches of the southern coastline. As well as its own architectural and culinary charms, the town offers easy access to Cadiz (for outstanding tapas and beautiful beaches), Gibraltar, Portugal and Morocco, all of which can be reached easily in under three hours, making Chiclana De La Frontera an excellent base for those wanting to use their base in Spain for exploring other locations. As political instability continues to rock the foundations of both the UK and the US, it will be interesting to see how this is reflected in the Spanish property market. Home to the largest British expat population in Europe and to a somewhat smaller but still sizeable population of American expats (estimates put the figures at around 300,000 and 41,000 people respectively), Spain's second home market stands to be singularly affected by political happenings in both countries.

SPRING CLEAN YOUR HOME WITH THE HELP OF THE ANGELS - ANGEL HOUSE CLEANSING As spring approaches we start to feel better and want to get out in the fresh air. Many people suffer from SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) in the winter months and can feel quite poorly and lethargic from lack of sunlight. By March and April most of us decide to give our homes a ‘springclean’ as we come out of hibernation. Our homes are an extension of who we are so take a good look around your home now, what does it say about you? Is it light, bright and airy or is it dark and full of clutter? If the latter, a wonderful way of creating a harmonious home is to ask the Angels to help by bringing a little magic into your living space. First of all, get rid of any clutter – go into each room and be brutal by getting rid of anything you have no need for. Now sit in a quiet space and inwardly ask your Guardian Angel to help you to clean the house psychically and physically by repeating the following incantation 3 times: “I ask the Angels my house to bless, to clear my home of dirt and distress, Please bless the walls and make them strong, and fill my house with Angel song, Bless the lanterns, clean and bright and fill this

house with Angel light. Bless the roof from beam to beam, and fill this house with a magical sheen. Bless the windows, panes and all, let love fill this house from wall to wall. Bless the doors, keep intruders out, Angels protect – within and without. So mote it be”. Freshen each room by opening all windows and physically clean each room by vacuuming and dusting. Light a white candle and carry it around the whole house asking the Angels of Fire to bless the space. Now spray each room with rose water, asking the Angels of water to bless the space. Finally carry round a new pot plant asking the Angels of Earth to bless the space. I used a white cyclamen as its flowers look just like little butterflies and white is one of the main Angel colours, for purity. Once you have been into every room and blessed it, close all your windows. In Angel Magic there are many rituals that you can perform to bring some ‘feng shui the Angel’s way’ into your home and one of my favourites is the ‘Angel Flower duster’. Here’s how to perform the ritual: First of all, fashion a ‘broom’

using a bunch of yellow or gold flowers- large daisies or daffodils are ideal. I fashioned my flower broom using a bunch of golden daisy type flowers I had growing in the garden. They are called prairie sun and are beautiful. Using the flower heads as the ‘broom’ part, lightly sweep over all the doors and windows to cleanse and seal in the angel energies. Make sure you go into every room and sweep your ‘broom’ over each door and window and once you have finished, get a vase, and place your flowers in water, displaying them in a prominent place. Put a small angel figurine by the vase to remind yourself of the Angels help in blessing your home.

Patricia Highsmith’s same-sex romance novel is brought to sumptuous life by director Todd Haynes. A trail-blazing lesbian love story when it was published in 1952, Haynes artfully recreates the book's evocation of a privileged world in which money is no object but society will not tolerate transgressions from 'the norm'. In Manhattan, Carol is a wealthy housewife and mother unhappily married to Harge. Therese is a wouldbe photographer paying the bills by working in a department store and putting off making an honest man of her boyfriend Richard. When Carol and Therese meet in the store there begins an intense relationship that will enrich both their lives but also change them irreversibly. Blanchett’s Carol is the embodiment of style, sophistication and the illusion of self-control, while Mara’s Therese blends bohemian innocence with a powerful curiosity.

Defib life-saving fundraising British father arrested for Local residents in Benijofar gathered recently to hand over a ‘first response kit’ to the Local Police Chief. At a small ceremony at Restaurante Catorce, who’s owners Paul and Martyn spearheaded the campaign, the equipment was handed over and in return a thank you plaque was received. The kit, which includes a defibrillator, will be kept in the patrol car used by the Local Police in the town as officers are usually first to arrive on the scene if 112 is dialled and an ambulance requested. If that person

is in the process of having a heart attack or has stopped breathing, the police will work on that individual until the ambulance service arrives. Tragically, this happened on more than one occasion last year just in Benijofar and had the local police had a “first response” kit, the outcome may have been very different. Fundraisers hope that their campaign will encourage other local towns to fundraise and provide a defib machine for their Local Police team to use, knowing that a heart attack can happen at any time.

beating son with a hammer A British father has been detained in Denia for attacking his 20 year-old son with a hammer while he slept. When the Police arrived they saw a 70 year old man holding the weapon and a trail of blood to his house – the partner of the aggressor and the mother of the victim suffered injuries when trying to control him. Several neighbours, on hearing the commotion tried to subdue the man whilst he was jostling with his partner in the doorway of the home, and immediately called 091 to ask for the Police. When the Police arrived they found the aggressor still holding the hammer and with splatters of blood

on his body. Given the situation, the officers on patrol acted quickly and efficiently to deal with the situation. The man was placed on the ground and taken him into custody. The trail of blood reached inside the house where the son was on the bed and had been asleep when suddenly the attacker came into his room and hit him repeatedly with the hammer on his head. The victims, both son and mother were rushed to hospital to be treated for injuries and the arrested was taken into police custody ahead of being placed at judicial disposition.

The concerts will take place on the 22nd and 29th April at 8pm at the Ecumenical Centre church of Orihuela Costa, Calle Diamante. The concerts are priced at €6, with payment on entrance. This allows the ticket holder to attend on both days. The money will be donated directly to Caritas. The purpose of these concerts is the Celebration of the Day of the Parish the day of our Resurrected Lord, and there is no better way to do it than helping the needy, such as the families looked after by Cáritas.

Top quality concert in La Zenia

Many will remember the highly successful performance of Vivaldi's Gloria in May of last year, featuring In Harmony Chamber Choir and the Mediterranean Symphony Orchestra. This year's concert, to be held on Friday 5th May at the Centro Ecumenico - Cristo Resucitado at La Zenia, will be equally exciting. The choir and orchestral soloists will perform the John Rutter Requiem with a supporting programme of liturgical 'potboilers', such as the Cantique de Jean Racine, Jesu. Joy of Man's Desiring, Psalm 23 from TV's Vicar of Dibley, and many more. In Harmony, a choir of 35 selected singers, have established themselves as the leading chamber choir on the Costas and, under the tutelage of conductor Nigel Hopkins, continue to attract large audiences wherever they perform. The Rutter Requiem has been hailed by many famous musicians as one of the most beautiful ever written and tops the list of most-performed Requiems in Europe year after year. Soprano Verity Hall will be the soloist in the Requiem, and will be joined by the ever popular Mary Beer for some beautiful duets in the programme. Tickets, priced at 12â&#x201A;Ź - with a large donation to church funds - are available from La Ponderosa Gift Shop on La Zenia island. Book soon ... these concerts can sell out quickly.

Meet the Team at Medcare’s Dental Centre Led by a British dentist, Medcare’s fully-equipped dental clinic offers the most up-to-date techniques in both general and cosmetic dentistry. Whatever treatment you need to improve your smile, from whitening to fillings or implants, Medcare Dental offers the very best dental care – which will really give you something to smile about. Introducing our dental team Timothy Holt Tim graduated from Leeds University in 1978 and has worked in the UK as a dentist in both the NHS and private practice. He owned and operated a dental clinic in Blackburn for 25 years until 2010. With 33 years overall experience in dentistry, Tim brings our patients a wealth of experience in all aspects of dental treatment. Having treated many thousands of patients, there is very little in dentistry Tim has not seen and dealt with. Tim is registered with the UK General Dental Council and the Alicante Dental College. Rocio Valesco Ascarrunz For Rocio, dentistry is in her blood; with the profession going back three generations it is practically a family business. Rocio graduated from university in 2006 and is registered with the dental college in Murcia.

She is very popular with our patients who love her gentle manner and the fact that she always takes time out to explain treatment plans and follows ups with sound aftercare advice every time. Daniel Oliveros Soria, dental implantologist Daniel is our expert implantologist and takes care of all implant surgery at Medcare. Daniel, who has 20 years dentistry experience, studied dentistry at Barcelona University before going on to take many specialist courses in both Barcelona and Madrid. After working as a general dentist for two years, Daniel specialised in oral surgery, periodontics and implants. With implant prices starting at just €995 Medcare Implant Centre offers quality implants at very competitive prices. One of Medcare’s patients confesses about loathing the dentist. He says ‘ Hands up, I hate dentists and only ever go very reluctantly. Unfortunately, I developed a cavity and after putting up with the discomfort for months, it suddenly became really painful, necessitating a visit to the dreaded dentist. The Medcare dentist was a gem. She was patient, kind and, hand on heart, she didn’t hurt me one bit. I will definitely return with less hesitation to the Medcare dental chair.’ Also new to the Practice is Smile-Tru, the innovate invisible orthodontic brace system meaning that as a adult you don’t have to be worried about the stigma attached to wearing braces. With each positioner designed to fit over the teeth and gently guide them into the desired position, SmileTRU is a comfortable, affordable and invisible way to achieve straighter teeth and get that smile of your dreams. With the bonus of being removable for eating and drinking, the positioners have a minimal impact on daily routines.

Jan via email asks: Hi Aunty. I have bought a printer over here in Spain and replaced inks with compatibles from England but can't seem to get it to work, it keeps showing there is no ink. It's an Epson sx253. Can you help with any ideas? Aunty Says: Hello Jan. Was the printer standing for a while? as this can cause the print nozzles & heads to clog. Also you will need to check that the inks that you have brought over from the UK haven’t dried out and that they are a reasonable quality brand. There should be an Epson printer maintenance option on your computer that will let you run a few simple tests to try and flush out any dried ink or blocked nozzles. Ted from Campoverde asks: I was given a Lenovo tablet whilst in the UK but I didn’t get it setup until I was back here in Spain. I have managed to download and install the kindle app so I can get my books but any new ones I look for are coming up in Spanish. I have noticed that Google Play Store is in Spanish so I’m supposing this is because I have set it

Restaurant, Blue Lagoon, near Limonar school, the audience will be served a supper dish of Greek Meze (tapas) at 8.00p.m. So don’t be late. The refreshments will be followed by the opening of the red book, so be on time and be sure to bring along your singing voice.Tickets are 8€ each and are available from members of the society, Georgiou’s Restaurant, or can be ordered by telephone from Jackie on 965 321 411.

up in Spain or is there a way of changing the language to English? The tablet is registered to an English Address so should this make a difference? Thank you. Aunty Says: Hello Ted. There are settings that you need to change on your phone and within your Google account, and possibly within the Play Store app. On your phone settings you need to set your location up as the UK (or Ireland) and then the same with your Google account. Once you’ve signed back in to the Play Store you should find everything is in English. As expats we do need to spend a little time manually setting up our location because most devices (including Windows & Apple) will use your Internet address to auto detect where you and force all of you downloads and apps etc. into Spanish. All devices are a little different but I found searching Google gave me some more detailed instructions. That’s all for this week people, email questions to me your auntyvirus@coastrider.net and I will see what I can do.

More Spaniards ditching fruit and vegetable.

RISING prices for fruit and vegetables have seen vast numbers of Spaniards ditching them altogether. Stores estimate that fruit and vegetable consumption has plummeted 40% since a cold snap at the start of the year drove up costs. President of the National Federation of Fruit and Vegetable Retailers, Tino Mora, confirmed that ‘there is no shortage of vegetables’.

But he admitted prices have increased because ‘the lower supply has led fruit stores to adjust their margins’. He added: “These days are turning out to be a real punishment for vegetable retailers. “Difficulties in finding products in wholesale markets add to the struggle to sell them to the consumer at high prices.” Prices and consumption rates are expected to level up in April.

Growth forecast improves The spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which began last week, is having to deal with two new realities: a protectionist US president and Brexit, with the added uncertainty of a snap election in the United Kingdom set for 8th June. That said, the IMF predicts that the UK (2.0 percent) and the US (2.3 percent) will be among the top performers when it comes to the world’s large economies in 2017. The IMF estimates total global economic growth for 2017 will be 3.5 percent. Growth for Spain in 2017 is estimated to be 2.6 percent, up three-tenths on the last forecast, in January, and putting the country slightly ahead of the United States and Britain in terms of GDP growth for this year. Nevertheless, the new Spain figure falls significantly short of the 3.2 percent GDP growth Spain registered in

2016 and is particularly worrying for a country with high unemployment. The IMF is forecasting growth of 2.1 percent for 2018. Unemployment for this year is estimated to hit 17.7 percent and 16.6 percent for 2018. Currently it is at 18.6 percent. The IMF’s managing director, Christine Lagarde, has praised Spain’s economic progress, but has called for further reforms to reduce labor market duality, or the coexistence of “temporary” contracts with low firing costs and permanent contracts with high firing costs. Speaking in Brussels to the LENA alliance of leading European newspapers, Lagarde expressed her admiration for the “capacity for resistance of a country that has carried out serious and solid reforms.” “The figures have not improved miraculously: thanks to reforms, the economy is turning the corner away from the crisis; unemployment, while still very high, has fallen. And we expect it to continue falling,” said Lagarde, adding: “But we believe that the duality of the labor market, where temporary workers are exposed and where others with permanent contracts have greater protection, is not helping to resolve unemployment in Spain. This duality has to be tackled: one of the keys to Spain’s recovery has been the determination to carry out reform, for example to solve the instability of the banking sector and toxic loans.”

Oldest person in Europe is Spanish Spaniard Ana Vela has just become the oldest person in Europe and the fourth oldest in the world, at the age of 115. According to the Gerontology Research Group (GRG), the death on Saturday of 117-year-old Italian Emma Morano has bumped Vela up the list of the world’s oldest people, with just three people the world over being older than her – all of them women. Violet Brown from Jamaica is now the world’s oldest person, at 117, followed by Nabi Tajima, 116, and Chiyo Miyako, 115, both from Japan. Brown and Tajima are the last people to have been born in the 19th century – before January 1, 1901 – to still be alive on the planet. Ana Vela was born in Puente Genil, Córdoba on 29th October, 1901, but has been a resident of Barcelona for decades. She currently lives in a retirement home in the north of Barcelona, and last June she became the oldest woman in Spain. Her health is fragile, however, and a year ago she broke her leg. Since then she has had to get around in a wheelchair, and is unable to communicate either with her carers or her daughter Ana, who is 89, and who recently had to give up her almost daily visits to see her mother due to her own health problems. Her grandson, Antonio Vela, 65, does get to visit her regularly however. “I have always thought that my grandmother would live for a long time because she was doing really well at the age of 100,” he explained on Sunday. “I

hoped that one day she would be the oldest person in Spain but I never thought she would be the oldest in Europe.” In an interview with EL PAÍS last summer, her daughter explained that there are no magic ingredients behind the longevity of her mother: “She liked a glass of semi-sweet wine with her food but didn’t drink that much,” she explained. “She like to eat everything though: meat, fish, vegetables… She followed a very ordinary diet.” When she arrived at the retirement home at the age of 103, she took part in all of the activities and was up to date with what was going on in the world. “She just needed her walking stick,” said María Rosa Martín, the state-run institution’s psychologist. “She loved musical therapy and she read the newspaper every day.” Her place as the oldest person in Europe symbolises the great advances that life expectancy has taken in Spain. According to the country’s National Statistics Institute (INE), around 15,000 Spaniards are currently aged 100 or older, 80 percent of whom are women. The figure is more than double what it was 15 years ago. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) ranks Spain as the country with the second-longest life expectancy at birth, at 83.2 years, just behind Japan, with 83.4 years. When Ana Vela was born, life expectancy for women in Spain was 35.7 years.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

“Spursy”. Definition: to lead supporters to believe that something amazing is about to happen, before finding new and original ways to completely bottle it. Or something like that. I don’t care how much Jermaine Jenas prattles on about how much of the ball Tottenham had at Wembley, it was never going to end well if you pick Son to play as a left wing back. Yes,

Harry and Dele

Spurs played very well. Yes, Harry Kane and Dele Alli still look like the finest English players on show and yes, Eriksen’s assist made Glenn Hoddle look like a midfield clogger but the fact remains that Conte reckoned he

could beat them even with his two best players on the bench. And he did. Frank Lampard could barely stop himself rubbing Jenas on the head and saying “Jermaine, old boy, what do you know about winning big games anyway?” Still, Tottenham will be delighted to see the back of Wembley for this season. At least they won’t have to be back there anytime soon. What’s that? All of next season? Oh dear. out of interest, what is the record for consecutive FA Cup semi-finals lost? And, if Harry Kane believed beating Chelsea at Wembley would be the perfect psychological blow in the Premier League chase, can we categorically say it is all over now please. Once again Spurs, once again. Well done. To make matters even worse, Arsenal only went and beat City in the other semi. This three at the back thing Arsene has invented, it might just catch on your know. I presume Hector Bellerin was benched because of the most laughable haircut in the two squads, which is a tough award to win when Raheem Sterling plays for the opposition. The match had different qualities to its predecessor, City incredibly managing to lose it from a goal ahead. Well, it was nice to see Arsene win one last match at Wembley because he certainly won’t be winning the final. Whilst all the FA Cup shenanigans were happening on Sunday afternoon, Liverpool and United set about trying

to strengthen their Champions League cause whilst City and Arsenal were looking the other way. United’s answer to Zlatan’s “career threatening injury”? Wear silly warm up tops and pick Wayne Rooney. Whether the show of solidarity worked or not, towards

A note to Stoke City’s manager Mark Hughes. Never, ever let anyone take a penalty if they are wearing boots that are different colours. Ever. Please. Swansea must have been on cloud

Wayne Rooney

Zlatan I mean, not Wayne, United won 2-0 having wisely hidden Wayne on the left hand side. This meant someone who can actually run went through the middle. I know Rooney did score, but he should get used to scoring against sides of Burnley’s level as he won’t see much more action against the elite teams around. Thursday’s Manchester Derby is the ultimate Champions League shoot-out now between two gun-slingers who aren’t exactly the best of friends.

Paddy’s Point Golf After enjoying a breakfast bap at Paddy's Point sixty players made their way to Mar Menor for our Captain Myra's Drive Out where we all posed for the mandatory group photo. Our starter Pat Kilcourse got things underway and after receiving a 'mulligan' Myra sent the ball well down the fairway giving the men something to think about. The weather was perfect and the course was in good condition which made for some excellent scoring especially from Gene Duffy. Once again our Annual Presentation Dinner was held at Las Ramblas Golf Club and this turned out to be another memorable evening. Thank you Sergio and staff for looking after us so well. Special thanks to Rory, Hazel and the staff at Paddy's also to all those who so generously sponsored the event. Our stalwarts Paul, John and

Mick also deserve a special mention for all their work. Winners on the day Nearest the Captain's Drive - Al Tolan. Special prizes - Hole 1 Mick Ruttledge, Hole 2 Jimmy Kiernan, Hole 4 Al Condron, Hole 5 Terry Fitzgerald, Hole 6 John Batterby & David Watt, Hole 7 Ollie Dunne, Hole 8 David Watt, Hole 9 Gerard Moloney, Hole 10 Myra Coull & Terry Fitzgerald, Hole 11 Gerard Moloney, Hole 12 Ollie Teahan, Hole 13 Neil Rumbles, Hole 14 Leo Macaulay, Hole 15 David Miller, Hole 16 David Miller, Hole 17 Myra Coull, Hole 18 Gerry McGhee & Tomas Mallie. The 2's pot was shared by Myra Coull, Gene Duffy, Jim Fegan, Arthur Lambe & Ollie Teahan. Best Guest - Tomas Mallie 29pts. Best Lady - Elsie Cowie 38pts.

I wonder how much money you would make a week if you stuck a fiver on a player to score against his former club? There was a sense of inevitability that Benteke equalised for Palace against Liverpool. Given Liverpool’s ability to do the unexpected, it was almost equally inevitable that the Belgian would also score the winner. Coutinho’s was a lovely free-kick, but on their own they don’t win much. If only Liverpool had a French international defender they could call upon. He was too busy celebrating the goals with the match winner.

3rd Ollie Teahan 35pts 2nd Ollie Dunne 37pts Best Gent Gene Duffy 46pts. Photos show Captain Myra Coull with Gene Duffy and Elsie Cowie, best gent and lady.

nine to have got three points, only to have their bubble instantly burst when they learned the score at Hull. Watford, not exactly playing like a side that are keen to be managed by Mazzarri next season, were facing ten-man Hull following Niasse’s actual laugh-outloud red card. But the club accused of being a joke when they appointed Marco Silva simply readjusted and got the job done, the icing on the cake being a Le Tissier-esque finish from Sam Clucas. Yeah, he’s English and playing well. Just the kind of thing Merse presumed would be impossible with Johnny Foreigner in charge. Middlesbrough to Bournemouth is one hell of a road trip. Credit to the fans who travelled and will have had hope that the great escape was about to get underway. Sure, their dreams were truly extinguished after approximately 90 seconds, and then again after 20 minutes when Boro found themselves 2-0 and a man down. Gaston Ramirez isn’t up for the last couple of games then, judging by his ability to pick up two yellow cards in ten minutes. Steve Agnew must be tearing his hair out at the situation. It’s a bumper week of Premier League football ahead, so keep your eyes on www.talesfromthetopflight.com for all the latest fun-poking.

Mark Hughes

Blarneystone Golf Society Was that the windiest day of spring? It certainly felt like it which made the golf very hard work. Of the 29 players only 4 managed to score 30 points or over. In fact 3rd placed Mike Heighway may have been on course for a better score had he not been hit on the head by a golf ball struck by me!! He tells me it was destined to be out of bounds had it not hit his head and landed on the green, and to add to his headache he said I was only concerned about him getting his nice white shirt bloodied. So after an eventful and very windy day on the golf course we headed back to the Blarneystone for the presentation and as usual some wonderful food cooked by Gill. Thanks to Eamon, Gill and staff.

Messi clinches ‘El Clasico’ Las Ramblas Golf Society at the last gasp Unless you were resting on some other planet you will have been aware of ‘El Clasico’ – the fiercelycontested twice yearly league clash between the two greats of Spanish football, Real Madrid and Barcelona. In the event, it as a pulsating, dramatic match, which had everything. Barça, without the suspended Neymar, played Alcacer in his stead, whilst Zidane risked the partlyrecovered Bale – a strategy that proved to be a failure, when the Welshman broke down early on, and had to be replaced by the young and up-and-coming star, Asensio. Soon after that, Real Madrid took the lead when the excellent Marcelo drove a ball into the box and Sergio Ramos lashed it against a post, for Casemiro to slip in the rebound. Their lead lasted no time at all, as a defensive blunder allowed the deadly Messi a sight of goal, and he slid the ball past a sprawling Keylor. Casemiro was then yellow-carded for a

stupid tackle on Messi. Both sides had their chances, but their respective keepers were in fine form. Early in the second half Raketic it was who broke down the Madrid wall, and scored with a fine drive, but the ‘whites’ spurned many chances, Benzema heading against Ter-Stegen’s feet

when he seemed bound to score. The Frenchman was substituted by James on 82 minutes, and four minutes later the Colombian turned in a cross from Marcelo, and a draw looked inevitable – until that man Messi, first drawing a tackle from Sergio Ramos which earned him a rather rigorous red card, then advancing from the left wing to score with a great shot in the dying seconds. It had been a

great match, and the league is now wide open. If Real Madrid win all their remaining six games they will still win. If not... In the second division, there is no change at the top, but lower down the table, Elche are now looking dangerously close to relegation, only three points above the drop zone after defeat by Valladolid. In a local derby in division 2B, Alcoyano beat Hercules in the Rico Perez, and remain second. In England, the FA Cup final will be between Chelsea and Arsenal, as the two London clubs beat Spurs and Manchester City respectively. In the league, there was a shock defeat for Liverpool, as their ‘ex’ Benteke, scored a double for Crystal Palace at Anfield. In tennis, there was a notable triumph on Monaco’s clay as Rafa Nadal again won the Monte Carlo Open, beating fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos, who had earlier accounted for Andy Murray. Malcolm Palmer

The 6th round of the Spring Series was fished at the Embalsa de Pedrera on the 18th April 2017. It is nice to see that there is not as much rubbish lying about, hopefully this means people are getting the message and taking it home with them. This water contains quite a few stickups and gullies, which results in a lot of lost fish and terminal tackle, but all in all it was a very good days fishing with Bill Cannon taking the top spot with just under 17kgs and Steve Budd making a very good 2nd place with over 14kgs while reading his book in between catches.

The Great Britain Women’s Tennis team rarely makes this column, for no real reason, but following the tirade of abuse directed at them by tennis legend Ilie Nastase in GB’s Fed Cup tie against Romania, they have to get a mention. Nastase seemed to completely lose the plot, shouting obscenities at British number one Johanna Konta, who went on to be beaten. Nastase has been suspended indefinitely.

Ronnie O’Sullivan isn’t one to just turn up and play a little bit of snooker. Oh no. The greatest player ever to play the sport breezed into Sheffield and accused the governing bodies of being bullies, and then set about navigating his way towards a sixth world title. O’Sullivan reached the quarter-finals by knocking out former champ Shaun Murphy. He claims not be bothered, and only turning up because he’ll get fined heavily if he doesn’t but hey, if he is there, he may as well win it. Rival Neil Robertson has spoken openly about his video game addiction affecting his snooker career. I know how he feels, I

Not Good Enough This was the first win for Recambios over Torry in four attempts and it heralded not only just their fifth home win of the season, but attainment of that magical 40 point mark and likely safety. Torry had allowed Almazora to hit the 40 point mark last week to ensure their safety too. These two glorious opportunities to defeat struggling sides whimpered to a close, with the prospect of relegation now an obvious conclusion. The coaching staff were bold in their attempt to avoid a third consecutive loss and played strikers Borja Mir, Beltran, Lewis and Molina from the off, signalling that they wanted goals and all three points to stave off the looming threat of demotion to the Preferente. In the early exchanges Torry survived a few hairy moments before Lewis found himself through on a one on one with Coronado in the home goal. Despite his striker instinct, Lewis could not see it home, Coronado stifling it to safety. Perhaps the turning point came in the 19th minute when a foul on Faus allowed Rafa Rivera to open the scoring from the penalty spot. An incensed Torry coach, Alex, received his marching orders from the bench for his protestations. Just for the record, returning suspendees, Vicente Boix and Javi Meca, both again picked up cautions along with

the combatant Duran. It certainly was not for the lack of competitive effort that Torry failed, but rather their opponents were more determined and clinical. Adolfo used his strength in the box to crack

home a second, before Sergio Cuesta wrapped it all up early in the second period with a free kick that Adolfo almost got his head to, but no one else did either and that made it three. Torry were then reacquainted with former striker Koeman who came on for Recambios for the last 25 minutes, though no more goals were managed by either side. A double substitution of Luis Carlos and Damian on 55 minutes added a little sparkle but not enough and Joel's introduction with fifteen minutes remaining could not alter the state of affairs either. Hearts were heavy and heads were low at the final whistle, Torry knowing that in their last two games they had "saved" the opposition, whilst almost

certainly condemning themselves to lower level football next season. It has been a disastrous season for the Salineros. They have had to abandon their stadium at the Vicente Garcia when the Town Hall decreed it structurally unsafe, then took no action to fix it. A new manager at the start of the season led Torry to the relegation places after a winning debut. The Torry Army is losing their chairperson at the end of the season and despite, pleas, overtures and advertisements, no one has expressed any interest in leading this once vital part of the community and key component of support for the club. It will therefore likely fold at the AGM this summer. Add to that the near assured prospect of relegation and it is no wonder there at some very long faces at the club. Mathematically (yes, we are reduced to that), it is still possible for Torry to stay up, with three games left to play, two of which are at home. The first of those is this Sunday against Crevillente, then it is away to Paterna and a finale at the Nelson Mandela versus Borriol on 14 May. All three clubs have already beaten Torry this season, so no one is holding their breath! Instead, they are holding out for a miracle!

Young Gokarting prodigy killed An 11-year-old boy has died in a gokarting accident at the Fernando Alonso circuit in Oviedo (Asturias) whilst training for the regional junior championships. Gonzalo Basurto, from Medina de Pomar in the province of Burgos and member of the Castilla y León Racing Federation, was due to compete for the Asturias Championships this coming Sunday. But his car overturned in training and had to be rushed to Asturias Central University Hospital in a critical condition, where he died on Sunday. The Championship race has now been cancelled as a result of the tragedy. The Motor Racing Federation of the Principality of Asturias, and the Fernando Alonso Circuit and Museum Foundation both confirmed that all security measures were properly in place during the practice session and that officials and medical services present acted in an 'exemplary manner', following 'proper emergency procedures to the letter'. Both groups, together with the Castilla y León Motor Racing Federation and Gonzalo's team, Pé Á Chapa Racing, have issued messages of condolences to the boy's parents on Twitter. Twice-world champion Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso, who founded the circuit, is devastated by the news of the child prodigy's death. He tweeted a message reading: “I've woken up in the early hours of one of the saddest days ever. Distraught. An enormous hug for Gonzalo's family from here, and for all the go-karting team.”

Five in a row for Marquez Three-times world champion Marc Márquez's win at Sunday's MotoGP race in Texas has 'neutralised' what is being referred to as the 'Viñales effect': having never won a Grand Prix before, Yamaha rider Maverick Viñales clinched the first two races of this season, hinting at a brand-new Spanish contender for the world title. But Márquez, a prodigy who became the youngest-ever rookie to win a MotoGP world championship in 2013, at age 20 – and went on to do the same in 2014 and 2016 – is now biting back and netted the top spot in Austin yesterday. Viñales was lying second with 50 points to Italian veteran Valentino Rossi, his Yamaha YZR M1 team-mate, on 56, and Márquez – who suffered a fall at the last race – was eighth in the standings, but has now pulled himself up to third with 38 points with his epic win in the USA. Márquez's compatriot Dani Pedrosa looked set to be the one Viñales had to watch, cutting the first corner to get ahead of Márquez, who started from pole. Meanwhile, their fellow Spaniard and twice-world champion Jorge Lorenzo (Ducati Desmosedici GP17) made a spectacular entry and ended up in a head-to-head fight with Viñales. It was Viñales' own poor start that put him back at the beginning of the race, as Pedrosa and Márquez sat comfortably in front of Rossi, who had also got off to strong beginning. Viñales temporarily won the battle with Lorenzo and slipped up into fourth in line,

but bit the dust on bend 17 a lap later, forcing him out of the race. Pedrosa forged into the lead, but with Márquez glued to his rear and Rossi at less than a second behind him, looked set to lose ground unless he stepped on the gas. Márquez's determination not to suffer another fall – which he could not afford even at this early stage in the season – meant he played it safe, waiting for the easiest moment to shoot past Pedrosa. This was on lap nine, and Pedrosa's efforts henceforth to get past Márquez went unrewarded, and Rossi was gaining on him with just a 1.3-second margin. Márquez saw his chance on lap 15, his fastest overall, to escape from the battle behind him between Rossi and Pedrosa. Rossi gained a slight advantage over Pedrosa, coming in second, with Pedrosa third. Márquez's win was his fifth consecutive victory at the Austin Grand Prix, which he has won every time he has raced there in MotoGP since his début at the top level in 2013.

Nadal makes it 10 in Monte Carlo Spain's Rafael Nadal made history again on Sunday when he captured his 10th Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters crown, beating his compatriot Albert RamosVinolas 6-1, 6-3 in the final. Nadal’s 50th clay court title also marked the first time in the Open Era that any man has won the same singles tournament on 10 occasions. Apart from reinforcing his 'King of Clay' handle, the victory puts Nadal just one title away from Djokovic's record of 30 Masters 1000 titles. The Mallorcan has now won an ATP World Tour title every year for 14 years (since 2004). Nadal put Ramos-Vinolas under immediate pressure in his first service game, but he could not convert three break point opportunities. Employing his heavy topspin forehand to great effect, Nadal clinched a break to love in the fourth game to go 3-1 ahead. A second service break followed and then Nadal sealed the 30-minute set with an ace. Ramos-Vinolas fought back strongly in the early stages of the second set, but at 2-2 the relentless depth and pace of Nadal's baseline play saw the World No. 24 get broken for a third time. Nadal experienced a brief wobble at 4-3, but used all his experience to claw the game back. At 3-5, Ramos-Vinolas buckled under tremendous pressure. Having saved two championship points, courtesy of Nadal errors, Ramos-Vinolas hit a double fault on Nadal’s third championship point. “I think that he was a little bit better in everything,” admitted Ramos-Vinolas.

“When he’s a little bit better in everything, the difference is what we saw in the match. I also think I didn’t serve well, to be honest. I think he served really well today. Last time I played against him, I felt that on the return I had the opportunity to apply some pressure. “It’s not easy to play a final against Rafa Nadal [...]To play a final against him today, it was not easy.” It was the pair’s third tour level meeting, with Nadal adding to victories in 2013 and 2014 at Barcelona. Nadal extended his perfect 14-0 record of never having lost to a fellow Spaniard in an ATP World Tour final. It was the first all left-handed MonteCarlo Rolex Masters final since 2010, when Nadal swept past his compatriot Fernando Verdasco, and the fourth allSpanish final in the tournament’s history – 2002 Juan Carlos Ferrero d. Carlos Moya, 2010 Nadal d. Verdasco and 2011 Nadal d. David Ferrer. Ramos-Vinolas had put together the best week of his career in posting backto-back victory over World No. 1 Andy Murray, No. 8-ranked Marin Cilic and No. 17-ranked Lucas Pouille. He had been attempting to become the first player outside of the Top 20 in the Emirates ATP

Rankings to win the Monte-Carlo title since No. 31 Alberto Mancini in 1989 (d. Becker). Monday's saw the 29-year-old Spaniard in the Top 20 for the first time. In the men's doubles final, Spain's Feliciano López and Marc López lost out Rohan Bopanna and Pablo Cuevas (6-3, 36, 10-4). They were trying to become the third Spanish team to win the MonteCarlo title in the Open Era, joining Sergio Casal and Emilio Sánchez in 1988 and Rafael Nadal and Tommy Robredo in 2008.

Deportivo Orihuela CF “A” v CD Montesinos Monte kicked off at a natural ground at Granja de Rocamora, under clear blue skies in front of another good following of supporters. After today’s win a point next week in our last game of the season at home to GRUPO CALLICHE will see MONTE crowned champions. The game began with MONTE pressing the home team who played a keepersweeper until, being under pressure was not allowed to leave his box. VAZ was brought down 3 times in the first 15 minutes, but still managed an overhead kick which just cleared the bar. After 20 minutes the pressure told when a long cross was played back for CARLOS VENTURA to drive the ball home giving the home keeper no chance. VAZ made their goalkeeper make 2 good saves and a defender to clear off the line. Good goalkeeping, good defending and off-sides kept the score at 1-0. From another free kick for a foul on VAZ, CARLOS VENTURA swept the ball into the net to make it 2-0. The goalkeeper kept ORIHUELA in the game saving from VAZ in a one to one situation. With half-time approaching both FERNANDO and VAZ had shots which went just wide. Then Monte lost possession and a long through ball down the middle gave the home side their first chance, which they took. MONTE still had time and CARLOS LORENTE headed just wide. 2-1 at half time and things did not look as good as

we had hoped. The second half started with MONTE looking a little nervous with ORIHUELA using the long ball tactic to keep us at bay. After 5 minutes CARLOS LORENTE once again swept past the full-back and put in a perfect cross for CARLOS VENTURA to get his hat-trick and take the

before DARIO made it 5 from a lovely pass by VAZ, their goalkeeper made 2 more good saves from MANU and VAZ. Once again CARLOS LORENTE left the full-back standing and crossed for VAZ to make it 6-1. A 92 minute penalty to ORIHUELA made the final score 6-2. Everybody did their bit and set up next

DARIO was brought on to replace FRAN as MONTE continued to dominate the game. Their goalkeeper came out once too often and CARLOS LORENTE crossed the ball to VAZ who pulled it back for CARLOS VENTURA to claim his 4th goal of the game.

It is now impossible for any of the chasing pack to overtake CD Montesinos who will now not only be crowned Champions this season but will also be promoted to the 1st Regional Division for the first time in their history. A massive thanks must go to everybody associated with the Club from Felipe Paredes Aldeguer, the Club President and his hard working committee, Carlos Perez, the manager who came to the club with the season already started and with the club having lost their two opening games, his technical staff and all the players who have turned the season around and have been magnificent. A massive thanks must also go to the Club´s International Supporters club, The Full Monte, who have supported the club home and away for a number of seasons now and have helped to bring record number into the Campo Municipal de Futbol this season. Winning the group, the Club is automatically promoted to the 1st Regional Division next season for the first time in their history which, for such a small town as Los Montesinos, is an amazing feat.
