Let’s look at what we have here shall we? A major airport within twenty minutes, two wonderful and historical (not to mention cultural) cities within thirty minutes driving, and some of the best beaches on the Costa Blanca. Then there’s a nature park, El Hondo, and sierra that is enjoyed by hikers, cyclists walkers and nature enthusiasts and not far away the unique town of Benidorm with all its ‘charms’ and mountains and inland lakes a short drive away. Not long now and we will be feeling the full effect of a Spanish summer and that doesn’t just mean lots of sunshine but also a big increase in the population in La Marina with people arriving for the hot months and filling the terraces, beaches, bars and restaurants. And who can blame them? This place has an awful lot to offer, especially in summer, and is one of the best locations to be on the Costa Blanca. Some residents may complain that they can’t find a parking space or there is too much noise from bars in the summer however, La Marina is a tourist destination and with that comes a certain amount of increased activity and quite frankly if we didn’t have the numbers of people we do coming here in the summer then there would be very few busi-

nesses for residents to enjoy at other times of the year. So what brings people to La Marina time and time again? Well, apart from the aforementioned landscape and location, how about the wonderfully diverse range of bars, restaurants, shops and businesses in general we have in La Marina, we have a cosmopolitan rainbow of commerce aimed at giving people what they want. La Marina is a place where you can have an English breakfast, a Dutch lunch and an Indian dinner if you wished. Or Spanish, Italian, French...I could go on. The terraces of the commercial centres and the pavements will soon be throbbing away to brightly coloured foreigners who are almost turning pink beneath the hot sun before our very eyes. So if you are a resident in La Marina try and embrace the visitors, who after all are here to enjoy themselves, and appreciate what they bring to our community. These days we have well over 150 businesses open to the public in La Marina and that’s all because of what we have here for them. Let’s keep welcoming them back!

KEEP THE NOISE DOWN?
Authorities begin enforcing new sound limit at venues on La Marina Urbanisation The San Fulgencio Police and Town Council have started to implement the new rules for music and began at the fundraising Fiesta for Nigel on the 5th of June. According to the laws the sound must not exceed 55 Decibels and this is a limit set in law (according to the Council) for ALL music inside and outside bars. The police say they will be in attendance with their new machine to tell the artists when they are at their designated limit but could not confirm at what distance from the stage or
I�IIINTE
artist the reading will be taken from. Many locals are wondering at what level and just how many decibels the Rock Festival will throw out when the norm for a rock festival is 120 decibels. The argument has gone on for a year on the urbanisation and with confusing information and actions from the town hall and local police many have fallen foul of the authorities and had music or events stopped and equipment cancelled. Many are questioning just why the laws are so heavily enforced in what is a tourist area; somewhere visitors come to in the summer to enjoy themselves of which music can be a big part. For their part some residents are happy with the decision to quieten

the live acts stating that a lot of bars abuse the rules and play loud music into the night. You only have to look on social media and the excellent La Marina Gossip pages which often carry complaints from either bar owners or live acts or locals who have been disturbed by loud music at some point. Many say that people shouldn’t buy a property near to bars and commercial centres if they don’t want to be affected but a good number of people have brought homes before business or commercial centres where constructed. The row will go on and it will be interesting to see if the new rules are enforced consistently by the authorities. In theory any place with live music should hold a music licence which is obtained from the town hall but the cost of installing soundproofing into a unit can run into many thousands, a cost that many cannot afford. What do you think? Should bars be able to play live music on the urbanisation so long as they stick to the rules? Or should it be only soundproofed locations that will keep the peace, so to speak? Let us know here and will print the best replies. Contact us at: lamarinanewspaper@gmail.com
SEX CLUB OPENS IN S.F.
Last week the MUNA chairman & secretary speaking on behalf of MUNA, the association for residents in San Fulgencio village, Said that they are objecting to the new Besos club being opened in the centre of San Fulgen-

cio village. He declared on Facebook, “We are therefore asking the Council for copies of the public licences to see if the bar is legal, as to what they are doing. If they are illegal we will do everything in our power to have them shut down.” The club is an adults only venue for swingers and liberal couples and has been advertising the opening heavily in the Spanish media.
RAISING FUNDS FOR NIGEL
MUNA are pleased to announce the final total raised at last week’s fundraising fiesta for Nigel, including the two Donations from HELP Vega Baja & AAN along with money collected from the raffle, auction and bucket, was a total of 1924.51 euros plus 24 English pence. Thank you to J’s bar, Biancos and Cafeina for keeping us all fed and watered. Thank you to James Bowyer for being our compare and Rebecca Holt, Karen Noble and Cherry K for keeping us entertained and to the police for their assistance in lawfully calibrating the noise level which helped the evening go ahead without any problems. Last but not least thank you all for coming and your generosity and support in helping raise funds for Nigel’s treatment Pamplona (north spain). “We went to Navarra University clinic and the consultant was fantastic, she went into great detail about the treatment what it is and how they would do the surgery. Myself and my mum were quite happy to agree to sign consent forms to go ahead with the surgery, so now we just wait for a phone call to go back to Navarra in 15 or 21 days or so, as the treatment will come from Houston in Texas.

KEEP OUR BEACHES CLEAN AND HEALTHY
As the summer builds up so does the litter on the beaches of the area Locals and visitors will have noticed the amount of rubbish left behind on our beaches, especially in summer when people spend the whole day and bring food in wrappings and plastic bottles. Soon the rubbish bins fill up and the rubbish is left next to it and if it is not cleared up swiftly it can be blown all over the beach. One reader complained on Facebook that as they dug down in the sand a little they found rubbish that had been left behind and buried beneath the surface. We've all seen the recent news about the incredible amount of plastic and
Peugeot 5008 2.0 HDI Sport, FSH, Every extra 7 Seater 10995€
waste in our seas and the damage it does to the environment goes without saying. But another effect of this habit of leaving rubbish behind is that it is not only unsightly and bad for the wildlife and nature but also unhealthy for other people. Discarded food, either on its own or in wrappers, and even things such as used nappies have been found on our beautiful beaches and you wonder for the mindset of someone who thinks it is OK to leave things like that behind. Let's hope this summer there are enough bins, or enough people with the common sense to take rubbish with them if the bins are full, to reduce the problem.
MARKET PICKPOCKET
A woman was robbed as she shopped in La Marina market last Thursday. The woman,in her 40's, didn't realise anything was missing until she tried to pay for some items at a stall but found that her purse was missing from her bag. On further inspection she also discovered that her mobile phone was gone along with her car keys. After going to where she had parked the car she found that it was still there and waited next to it while a friend called the police who asked her to go to the police station to make a report. According to the woman her bag was zipped closed and hung over her shoulder and, she said, the items could only been stolen at the market because she had used her phone as she had arrived and replaced it in her handbag. Police ask shoppers to be extra vigilant in these places and reminded people to make sure valuables are sealed in a safe place and somewhere where you can keep a close eye on them.
CARREFOUR CARD CON
Investigators have discovered a new phishing campaign that tries to impersonate the Carrefour Pass card. If you receive an email in which they ask you to update personal information, do not click on it. It is a fraudulent email that will redirect you to a website where they will ask you for your credit card information so that you can validate your card but without knowing it it will take a payment for a fake purchase.

USING A UK CAR IN SPAIN
Embassy issues advice for drivers of British vehicles in Spain The first thing to bear in mind most UK insurers will only provide European cover for 90 days, so you’d need to make sure your insurer will cover you for longer, or get a new policy. Some Spanish insurers will cover vehicles on UK plates. The Spanish authorities apply the rules of residency when policing UK registered cars. This is where the 6 months rule comes from. The measure for determining your country of residence is where you spend 183 days. Their assumption is that if a UK car has been in Spain for six months, so must its owner have been, and therefore they are a Spanish resident. Once you become a resident in Spain you can no longer drive your car as a tourist, and so you’ll either need to switch the car to Spanish plates or sell it and buy a Spanish vehicle. Regardless of whether you live in Spain or not, after 12 months out of the country, the DVLA deems a vehicle to be permanently exported, and they need to be notified. The vehicle then needs to be registered onto Spanish number plates. This link provides more info: https:// www.gov.uk/taking-vehicles-out-ofuk/for-12-months-or-more.

ALICANTE AIRPORT TO GET TRAIN STATION
El Altet will be the only airport in the Community connected by train Alicante Airport, which is the busiest airport and registers the most flights and passengers in the Valencian community will be the only airport with a dedicated railway station and direct connection with a city (Alicante) and, they say, it will all be happening “in a short space of time”. At the moment, Manises is connected by the N-220 and is waiting on an extension of the metropolitan line of FGV that will arrive under the terminal, and Castelló is still waiting for the connection by motorway. The Ministry of Public Works has initiated the environmental procedures to begin looking at the construction of a new railway branch on the Alicante line to the Altet airport, “It is fulfilled, and the commitment was announced by the President of the Government (at the time), Mariano Rajoy, on February 2nd at the commemorative ceremony for the 50th anniversary of Alicante-Elx air-

port,” said Development sources. At present, the Alicante-Murcia railway line runs near to the Altet airport, but the nearest stop (Torrellano) is more than two kilometres from the terminal and as the transport minister said, “it does not provide an adequate service to the airport” The study of the remodelling project of the Railway Arterial Network of Alicante includes a “variant” for Torrellano, which connects Alicante with that town and includes a station at the airport. The Neighbourhood Plan of the Comunitat Valenciana, presented by the Minister of Public Works, Íñigo de la Serna in December 2017, contemplates the execution of phase I of this variant, about seven kilometres long and includes the new station in the airport and whose estimated total budget is about 85 million euros. The plan is to have it open by the end of 2019.

EASYJET ANNOUNCES IT WILL OPERATE FROM CORVERA AIRPORT Budget airline will start in January 2019 Easyjet has confirmed that it will operate from Corvera airport as of January 2019. The agreement was made during a meeting held by the president of Aena, Jaime García-Legaz, and Johan Lundgren, CEO of Easyjet. The meeting took place last Wednesday, in Luton. “Easyjet confirms its commitment to Corvera,” said Garcia-Legaz himself yesterday. In line with this, Easyjet will next year leave San Javier facilities in which it operates today. “He confirmed the transfer in January from San Javier to Corvera and his commitment to the new airport,” García-Legaz said. The chairman of Aena stressed that this is “good news” to further strengthen the future profitability of the facilities, which is scheduled to open in 2019. With this decision, the British company is still committed to maintaining its market share in the European Union against the possible effects that ‘brexit’ can bring. In fact, in July 2017 it announced that it would launch a new airline, Easyjet Europe, based in Vienna (Austria) for which it requested the Air Operator Certificate to Austro Control. Easyjet joins the list of other companies that will also operate at Corvera airport, such as Jet2com, another lowcost English airline. The latter will operate until March 2019 at Murcia airport and, as stated on its website, and already offers tickets to Coververa, with the flight number, day and time, with two routes to Leeds Bradford and Manchester. The companies Iberia Express and Ryanair have also shown interest to Aena
ALICANTE TAXI DRIVERS NOT HAPPY WITH NEW PHONE APP The arrival of Cabify to Alicante unleashes the alarm in the group of taxi drivers and taxi drivers insist that it is unfair competition and accuse the government of being a “necessary collaborator”.
Page 11
Cabify, the mobility technology platform created in Spain to provide transport services (similar to that done by taxis), started operating in Alicante last week with an initial fleet of 50 vehicles with driver (VTC), which will be progressively extended until the end of year. The rise of the VTC has become, in recent years, the great enemy of the taxi sector (which consists of 350 cars in Alicante), which yesterday again showed its unhappiness at the idea. Nacho Picó, president of the Asociación Radio Tele Taxi, stressed that “this and other platforms aim to supplant the identity of the taxi using tools such as customer pick up on public roads, which is exclusively intended for the public taxi service. The Government has been a necessary collaborator so far in the privatisation of public services in this country, and in this case the discretionary transport of passengers by taxi.” Taxi drivers demand that the Consell enforce the law “because the balance of 30 taxi licenses is broken by one of VTC”. Cabify offers users a fleet of vehicles that can be requested immediately through their mobile application or ton their website. Among the categories that will be available are the “lite” category with a minimum rate of 4 euros for immediate request, the “executive” and the “group” category, only allow a reservation six hours in advance.

Funny stuff... A duck walks into a post office and asks the man behind the counter: ‘Do you have any corn?’ The man answers politely: ‘No, we don’t have any corn here.’ The next day, the duck enters again and asks: ‘Do you have any corn?’ Annoyed, the man answers: ‘No! We don’t have any corn.’ This goes on for a couple of days until finally, when the duck asks ‘Do you have any corn?’, the man gets so upset he yells: ‘NO! For the last time we don’t have any corn, and if you ask again I’ll nail your beak to the counter!’ The next day, the duck returns and asks: ‘Do you have any nails?’ The man answers: ‘No.’ Then the duck asks: ‘Do you have any corn?’

The favourites, outsiders, underdogs & latest odds The top challengers are usually understood, but there are always a few dark horses in the running for every major tournament The 21st edition of the World Cup kicks off in a month and some of the best players in world football will grace the stage in Russia. With 32 teams taking part it can be difficult to predict a winner, but some teams are inevitably better equipped than others when it comes to personnel. However, at every major tournament there is always room for a dark horse to upset the established order. So who’s the favourite to win the 2018 World Cup? Goal takes a look at the contenders for the highest prize in football. Favourites to win the 2018 World Cup Given the fact that they are the holders and recently won the Confederations Cup - with a second-string team, no less - Ger-
many are considered one of the favourites to win the World Cup according to dabblebet. Joachim Low’s side are rated 9/2 to emerge triumphant in Moscow on July 15. They will have to overcome Mexico, Sweden and South Korea to get out of their group and into the knock-out stage, but Low’s men have consistently shown over the years that they have the nous to go deep into major tournaments.
However, the Germans have been overtaken in the odds by Brazil as favourites to win the tournament with odds of 4/1 attached to the South American giants, despite doubts lingering over the fitness of their talisman Neymar. Tite’s side finished comfortably top of the CONMEBOL qualification series, 10 points ahead of second-place Uruguay. It must be said that they have been handed a tough group to navigate first though. Serbia, Switzerland and Costa Rica are all hard-working and capable sides, so Brazil will not be expected to breeze through to the knock-out stage. The 2010 world champions Spain are not the same Furia Roja that dominated international football from 2008 to 2012, but, with players such as Sergio Ramos, Isco and Andres Iniesta at their disposal, they remain one of the most fearsome teams in the world. They may have crashed out at the group stage in 2014, but they are considered 11/2 bets to win in 2018. Spain have a fascinating group that will see them come up against Iberian rivals Portugal as well as Morocco and Iran, but they should have enough in the tank to finish in the top two.
