THE RESIDENT

Editorial Bienvenidos al número de mayo de The Resident.

Entramos en el principio del verano con noticias de una importante reestructuración de The Resident y su sitio web www.theresident.eu.

En este mundillo de continuo cambio es importante mantenerse por delante de las tendencias, de lo contrario te arriesgas a caer en el olvido, como ha sucedido con algunas publicaciones en los últimos meses. Nuestro plan en The Resident es comenzar una serie de mejoras que permitirán al periódico interactuar más con sus lectores, y desarrollar mejores enlaces con otras plataformas de comunicaciones como grupos de Facebook y Radio Mix 106 FM. Esto supondrá un rediseño de la edición impresa de The Resident, que se realizará en etapas, una mejora del sitio web y mejoras en la presencia en redes sociales.

Aunque esperamos que la interrupción de los servicios sea mínima, quizá se produzca un periodo más largo entre la publicación de este número y el siguiente, que volverá a las calles en julio.

Mientras podrás leer las últimas noticias e información en nuestro sitio web.

Un saludo, Gary Beaumont, Editor

Welcome to the May issue of The Resident. We enter the beginning of summer with news of some major restructuring of The Resident and its website www.theresident.eu.

In this ever-changing world it is important to stay ahead of trends, otherwise you risk oblivion as is the case with a number of publications in recent months. Our plan here at The Resident is to begin a series of improvements that will allow the paper more interaction with its readers and to develop better links with other media platforms including a number of well established Facebook groups and Radio Mix 106 fm.

This will entail a redesign of the printed edition of The Resident which will be phased in stages, a revamp of the website, and improvements to our social media presence.

Whilst we hope to keep disruption to our services to a minimum there will be a slightly longer period between the publication of this issue and the next which will be back on the streets in July. In the meantime you will still be able to read all the latest news and information on our website.

El Hispania, un barco 15M con 110 años de historia, The Hispania, a 15M Class yacht en el Puerto de Sotogrande with 110 years of history, to visit Los barcos de la JI Sotogrande Port Clase 15M fueron los grandes dominadores de la vela mundial en las dos primeras décadas del siglo XX. Las siglas JI significan Regla Internacional y bajo la misma se construyeron una veintena de unidades con esloras superiores a los 23 metros. Hoy en día solo hay cuatro supervivientes en todo el mundo: Hispania, Mariska, Lady Anne, y Tuiga. Y todos se enfrentarán del 2 al 8 de julio en la I Marina Sotogrande Classic Week 2018.

El Hispania (ESP1) es un balandro de 23,22 metros de eslora, 4,12 metros de manga y 2,87 de calado. Diseñado por el legendario arquitecto naval escocés William Fife III y construido por deseo expreso del Rey Alfonso XIII en 1909 en los astilleros Karpard de Pasajes (Guipúzcoa) para participar en las regatas internacionales.

Su superficie vélica es de 410 metros cuadrados, con una mayor de 80 metros cuadrados. El monarca español ganó varias regatas con él en dura competencia con el Tuiga, un velero gemelo que el 17º Duque de Medinaceli, Luis Jesús Fernández de Córdoba y Salabert, encargó para que el del rey tuviera un competidor del mismo tipo y tamaño.

La historia del 'Hispania'es algo convulsa. Después de ganar numerosas regatas en España, Inglaterra y Francia, la Primera Guerra Mundial interrumpió las

competiciones. En 1916 fue adquirido por un armador noruego y en 1936 retorno a Inglaterra donde fue casi abandonado.

La marina Inglesa lo incautó y todos los metales del barco fueron retirados para ser fundidos como material de guerra. Posteriormente lo adquirió un comerciante inglés y no fue hasta 1998, cuando miembros de la Fundación Hispania de Barcos de Época lo descubrieron en una playa de West Mersea, al Sureste de Inglaterra, donde era usado como vivienda.

Lo adquirieron y fue trasladado hasta los astilleros Fairlie, en Southampton, para ser restaurado. Después de pasar por Southampton, en 2006 el Hispania fue trasladado a Astilleros Mallorca, en Palma, para el final de la restauración.

El 'Hispania' se puso al agua en

verano de 2007, pero la Fundación Hispania se declaró en quiebra y el barco fue salvado de la subasta por la Fundación Isla Ebusitana, una organización sin fines de lucro con base en Puerto Sherry, Cádiz, y el barco empezó a competir en 2011. En aguas de Sotogrande su patrón será el canario Arnaldo Brito.

The Class 15M JI boats were the great dominators of the sailing world sail in the first two decades of the twentieth century. The acronym JI stands for International Rule and under it were built a score of vessels with lengths exceeding 23 metres. Today there are only four survivors in the whole world: Hispania, Mariska, Lady Anne, and Tuiga. And all will be present from July 2 to 8 at the I Marina Sotogrande Classic Week 2018.

The Hispania (ESP1) is a sloop of 23.22 metres in length, 4.12 metres beam and a draft of 2.87 metres.

Designed by the legendary Scottish naval architect William Fife III and built to order for King Alfonso XIII of Spain in 1909 in the Karpard de Pasajes shipyard in Guipúzcoa to participate in international regatas.

Its sail area is 410 square meters, with its largest sail measuring more than 80 square meters. The Spanish monarch won several races with the Hispania in hard competition with the Tuiga, a twin sailboat that the 17th Duke of Medinaceli, Luis Jesús Fernández de Córdoba and Salabert, ordered so that the King had a competitor of the same type and size.

The history of 'Hispania' is somewhat chequered.

After

winning numerous regattas in Spain, England and France, the First World War interrupted the competitions. In 1916 it was acquired by a Norwegian shipowner and in 1936 it returned to England where it was almost abandoned.

The English navy seized it and all the ship’s metal items were removed to be melted as war material. Later it was acquired by an English merchant and it was not until 1998, when members of the Hispania Foundation of Vintage Ships discovered it on a beach in West Mersea, near Colchester in the South East of England, where it was used as a home.

They acquired it and was transferred to the Fairlie shipyard in Southampton to be restored. After passing through Southampton, in 2006 the Hispania was transferred to Astilleros Mallorca, in Palma, for the completion of its restoration.

The 'Hispania' was returned to the water in the summer of 2007, but the Hispania Foundation declared bankruptcy and the ship was saved from the auction by the Isla Ebusitana Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Puerto Sherry, Cádiz, and the boat returned to competition in 2011.

Proteger el recinto de los Baños de la Hedionda y garantizar la seguridad de los usuarios es el objetivo de las normas de acceso que prepara el Ayuntamiento de Casares para la próxima temporada

Casares

Access to the Baños de la Hedionda Roman Baths to be controlled to ensure the safety of users and to protect the site

El paquete de medidas que prepara el Ayuntamiento de Casares de cara a la próxima temporada estival tiene como objeto evitar la masificación en los Baños de la Hedionda Se trata de nuevas normas de acceso para proteger las instalaciones y garantizar la seguridad de los bañistas, que se ponen en marcha ante el aumento de visitas. Hay que tener en cuenta que más de 25.000 personas visitaron los Baños de la Hedionda desde julio hasta mediados de septiembre de 2017, según los datos cuantificados por el servicio de atención al público.

La idea, explica la concejal de Turismo y Cultura, Rocio Ruz, es delimitar el número de personas

que pueden entrar al mismo tiempo al recinto durante las horas puntas, de 12 de mediodía a 7 de la tarde, desde mediados de junio a mediados de septiembre.

Por lo que se va a poner en marcha un sistema de reservas gratuitas, que se podrán realizar a través de una aplicación digital y en las oficinas municipales de turismo.

Para controlar las entradas y delimitar el acceso de vehículos desde el Ayuntamiento se va a colocar una barrera que estará atendida por guardias de seguridad, que también se encargarán de vigilar en el recinto de los baños y el acceso a la cúpula.

Durante el periodo estival el Ayuntamiento de Casares

también pone en marcha un servicio de socorrismo y vigilancia, e intensifica las labores de mantenimiento y limpieza de la zona.

Asimismo, la Concejalía de Turismo y Cultura tiene previsto volver a poner en marcha el Servicio de Información, que este año va a ser atendido por personal contratado a través de la Bolsa de Prácticas Remuneradas.

De cara al próximo verano, desde el Consistorio también se trabaja ya en la mejora de la infraestructuras del recinto, donde se van a intensificar la cartelería para promover un uso responsable del recinto y su entorno.

Casares Costa celebra su primer Encuentro de Primavera el domingo 3 de junio Encuentro de Primavera en Casares Costa es una jornada de convivencia entre los vecinos del municipio de Casares, y especialmente entre los que viven en la zona de la Costa.

Se celebra el domingo 3 de junio y contará con un amplio programa de actividades que se inicia a las 10 de la mañana con la ruta “Caminando por la Costa”, un recorrido circular que se puede realizar a pie, en bicicleta, y si se desea, acompañado por mascotas.

El itinerario que tiene su salida en la zona de recreo Los Alegres

desde donde se dirigirá al nuevo parque de Arroyo Parrilla, Marina de Casares, Paseo de la Costa por Playa Ancha, Playa Chica y la Perla de la Bahía desde donde se cruzará por el paso elevado a los Jardines del Rosario y a la zona de Los Alegres, donde se celebran la mayoría de las actividades.

Desde las 12.30 h se sucederán diversas actividades infantiles y deportivas, con entrega de medallas para todos los participantes hasta las 14.30 h que se servirá la gran paella. La bebida y comida contará con precios especiales, la

recaudación estará destinada a la Asociación de Amigos del Pueblo Saharaui para el Programa Vacaciones en Paz. Por la tarde, la Escuela Municipal de Teatro de Casares Costa pondrá en escena la obra “La Unión hace la Fuerza”. A las 17.00 h, en el anfiteatro de los Jardines del Rosario.

Con el objeto de tener una previsión de asistencia se ha abierto un plazo de inscripción hasta el 25 de mayo en la Tenencia de Alcaldía de Casares Costa, la Casa Natal de Blas Infante, y la Tenencia de Alcaldía de Secadero.

These are new access rules to protect facilities and ensure the safety of bathers, which are put in place before the increase in visits.

It must be taken into account that more than 25,000 people visited Baños de la Hedionda from July to mid-September 2017, according to the data quantified by the customer service.

The idea, explains the Councillor for Tourism and Culture, Rocio Ruz, is to limit the number of people who can enter the Roman Baths at the same time during the peak hours, from 12 noon to 7 o'clock, from mid-June to mid-September.

Therefore, a free booking system will be launched, which can be done through a digital application and at the municipal tourism offices.

In order to control the number of

vehicles accessing the site, the council will install a barrier which will be manned by security guards, who will also be in charge of guarding the Baths enclosure and access to the dome.

During the summer, the Casares Town Hall will provide a lifeguard and security service, and will intensify the maintenance and cleaning of the area.

The Department of Tourism and Culture also plans to restart the Information Service, which this year will be attended by personnel hired through the Remunerated Practices Exchange.

For the next summer, the Town Hall is also working on improving the infrastructures of the site, where the signage will be increased to promote responsible use of the site and its surroundings.

Casares Costa celebrates its first Spring Meeting on Sunday, June 3 The Spring Meeting in Casares Costa is a day of coexistence among the residents of the municipality of Casares, and especially among those who live in the Coastal area.

It is celebrated on Sunday June 3 and will have an extensive programme of activities that starts at 10 in the morning with the "Coastal Walk", a circular route that can be done on foot, by bicycle, and if you want, accompanied by pets.

The itinerary that that sets off from the recreational area Los Alegres from where it will go to the new Arroyo Parrilla Park, Marina de Casares, Paseo de la Costa by Playa Ancha, Playa Chica and Perla de la Bahia from where it will cross by the overpass to the

Jardines del Rosario and the area of ​​Los Alegres, where most of the activities will be held held.

From 12.30 pm there will be various children's and sports activities, with medals for all participants until 2.30 pm to serve the great paella.

The drink and food will have low prices, with the money going to the Association of Friends of the Saharawi People for the Holiday in Peace Programme.

In the afternoon, the Casares Costa Municipal School of Theatre will stage the play "The Union makes the Force" at 5 pm, in the Jardines del Rosario amphitheatre.

So as to get an idea of numbers those wishing to attend can register until May 25 at the Casares Costa Town Hall, the Blas Infante House, and the Secadero Town Hall.

ANNUAL TAX RETURN TIME If you are resident in Spain for more than 183 days of the year, then you are legally tax resident in Spain and it is time to submit your annual tax return here. You have until the end of June to submit all details of your worldwide income.

Many of the locals who live in Spain and work in Gibraltar think that because they have paid income tax in Gibraltar, they do not need to pay in Spain.

Not true. Any tax paid in Gibraltar will be taken into account when the calculation is made by the Hacienda on how much you have to pay. In many cases there is nothing more to pay, but sometimes there will be extra tax to pay i.e. the difference between what you paid in Gibraltar and what is due in Spain.

This also applies to people receiving pension income from the UK or any other country.

For the British, this is more important than ever before. With Brexit looming, it is imperative that you become fully tax resident in Spain before the UK leaves the EU, so get your tax return in early as this year I think there may well be a lot more tax returns being submitted!

If you would like to discuss this or any other financial matter in more detail call Pauline Bowden on 616 743 108 or email: pauline.bowden@spectrum-ifa.com The Spectrum IFA Group.

Estepona consigue la cuarta bandera azul por la calidad y conservación de sus playas

E

l Ayuntamiento de Estepona informa que la ciudad ha recibido este año cuatro banderas azules como reconocimiento al buen estado de conservación de sus playas y la calidad de los servicios que se prestan en las mismas. Así, la Asociación de Educación Ambiental y de Consumidor (ADEAC) ha anunciado hoy que concede este galardón a las playas El Cristo, El Padrón, La Rada y Arroyo Vaquero por cumplir con los requisitos de desarrollo sostenible y de gestión ambiental que exige este organismo.

La concejala adscrita al área de Playas, Susana Aragón, ha señalado que conseguir una bandera más que en 2017 pone de manifiesto el trabajo que realiza el Consistorio durante todo el año para conseguir que las playas se encuentren en un estado óptimo.

En ese sentido, ha recordado que el Ayuntamiento ha aumentado el número de módulos sanitarios y de salvamento al instalarlos en las playas de Arroyo Vaquero e Isdabe. Además, se instalaron nuevos equipamientos en la playa del Cristo (2 módulos de aseo múltiple y un módulo de salvamento), en La Rada (1 módulo de salvamento), y en El Padrón (1 módulo de aseo múltiple y 1 módulo de salvamento). Tam-

bién se colocaron nuevas tarimas de madera en las playas del Cristo, Padrón y Arroyo Vaquero.

Las nuevas actuaciones continuaron con la ampliación del número de zonas de sombra para discapacitados. Así, se instalaron, por primera vez, estas estructuras en las playas de Arroyo Vaquero, El Saladillo y Casasola, y se renovaron las existentes en El Cristo, El Padrón y La Rada.

Otra de las novedades en materia de cuidado de playas ha sido la ampliación de la temporada alta, por lo que se refuerza el número de operarios en el litoral desde abril a octubre. La responsable municipal ha señalado que este año, por primera vez, la temporada alta tendrá un periodo de seis meses, “por lo que se dará una mejor respuesta a las necesidades turísticas de la ciudad”. Para realizar este esfuerzo en las playas se ampliarán los contratos de los trabajadores fijos discontinuos y se contratarán seis nuevos empleados.

Por otra parte, Aragón ha adelantado que, de cara a la temporada estival, el Ayuntamiento va a instalar 2.000 metros lineales de pasarelas, 50 papeleras, 20 duchas y cartelería. También ha señalado que los módulos de aseos, a diferencia de otros años,

se encuentran abiertos al público desde el pasado 1 de mayo.

La concejala adscrita al área de Playas ha indicado que este verano el Ayuntamiento mantendrá el servicio de baños asistidos para personas con movilidad reducida o con algún tipo de minusvalía física que le impida disfrutar del mar de forma independiente. A ese respecto, ha subrayado que el pasado año se

Estepona

ofrecieron más de un centenar de sesiones a usuarios del servicio de Ayuda a Domicilio.

Para facilitar estos baños, el Consistorio dispone de material adaptado para hacer las playas del litoral más accesibles a personas con problemas de movilidad. En concreto, el Consistorio cuenta con 14 tumbonas adaptadas, 7 andadores para playa con cuatro ruedas y 14 conjuntos de

muletas anfibias, que están a disposición de toda aquella persona que lo necesite, con el objetivo de facilitarles el baño.

La edil ha subrayado que el Ayuntamiento presentará en fechas próximas la nueva maquinaria que limpiará y conservará el litoral porque es “prioritario” ofrecer unas playas cuidadas y en condiciones óptimas para los vecinos y turistas.

Estepona gets a fourth blue flag for the quality and maintenance of its beaches The Association of Environmental and Consumer Education (ADEAC) this year has awarded blue flag status to the beaches of El Cristo, El Padrón, La Rada and Arroyo Vaquero beaches

E

stepona has announced that the town has received four blue flags this year in

recognition of the good state of conservation of its beaches and the quality of the services provided

in them. The Association of Environmental and Consumer Education (ADEAC) announced recently that the awards go to the beaches El Cristo, El Padrón, La Rada and Arroyo Vaquero for meeting the requirements of sustainable development and environmental management required by this agency .

The councillor for beaches, Susana Aragón, pointed out that getting one flag more than in 2017 shows the work done by the Council throughout the year to ensure that the beaches are in an optimal state, pointing out that the town has increased the number of health and rescue modules when installing them on the beaches of Arroyo Vaquero and Isdabe. In addition, new equipment was installed at the Cristo beach (2 multiple toilet modules and one rescue module), at La Rada (1 rescue module), and at El Padrón (1 multiple toilet module and 1 rescue module) .

New wooden walkways were also placed on the beaches of Cristo,

Padrón and Arroyo Vaquero.

The programme also expanded facilities for the disabled with structures installed for the first time on the beaches of Arroyo Vaquero, El Saladillo and Casasola, along with those existing at El Cristo, El Padrón and La Rada which were renewed.

Another novelty in the area of​​ beach care has been the extension of the peak season, which reinforces the number of operators on the coast from April to October.

Councillor Aragón has indicated that this year, for the first time, the high season will be extended to a period of six months, "so it will give a better response to the tourist needs of the town." In order to carry out this effort on the beaches, the contracts of discontinuous permanent workers will be expanded and six new employees will be hired.

On the other hand, Councillor Aragon has mentioned that, facing the summer season, the town will

install 2,000 metres of catwalks, 50 bins, 20 showers and new signage. She also pointed out that the toilet modules, unlike other years, have been open to the public since May 1.

The councillor also said that this summer the Town Council will maintain the service of assisted toilets for people with reduced mobility or with some kind of physical disability that prevents them from enjoying the sea independently. In this regard, she stressed that last year more than a hundred sessions were offered to home help users.

To facilitate these baths, the Council has material adapted to make the beaches more accessible to people with mobility problems.

Specifically, there are 14 adapted loungers, 7 beach walkers with four wheels and 14 sets of amphibious crutches, which are available to anyone who needs them, in order to facilitate their bathing.

blemáticos de Estepona, como el Parque Botánico-Orquidario, el Museo Arqueológico, o La Ruta de Murales Artísticos, entre otros, también viajarán a Granada, Málaga y Ronda. A este tiempo de ocio se le sumarán las clases de español y las jornadas de convivencia con las familias que los alojan.

García Urbano ha deseado a estos jóvenes que disfruten de su

estancia en Estepona y que aprovechen la oportunidad que se les ofrece de conocer otra cultura y otro idioma.

El Ayuntamiento inicia obras para mejorar viales y crear una nueva zona verde en Costa Galera El Ayuntamiento de Estepona informa de que han comenzado las obras de acondicionamiento de seis viales y la construcción de una nueva zona verde en Costa Galera, una de las urbanizaciones situadaue es en la parte occidental del municipio. La teniente alcalde del área de Fomento, Infraestructuras y Turismo (FIT), Ana Velasco, ha explicado que se va a proceder a reparar el pavimento, tanto en aceras como en calzadas, y al desbroce de las zonas. Además, se van a reparar los pozos de registro y de arquetas, y se va a colocar señalización vial tanto vertical como horizontal, garantizando así una mayor seguridad para los peatones y conductores.

Los trabajos en este núcleo residencial se verán completados con la creación de una nueva zona verde, que tendrá una superficie aproximada de unos 1.000 metros cuadrados, y que contará con un espacio de juegos infantiles, una senda peatonal y mobiliario urbano, según ha indicado la responsable municipal.

Works have begun to improve roads and create a new green area in Costa Galera The project is valued at 175,038 euros

Las obras, que se han adjudicado por 175.038 euros más IVA a la empresa Hormacesa, no supondrán ningún coste para las arcas municipales porque serán ejecutadas con cargo al aval depositado en garantía de la obra ejecutada hace décadas. A ese respecto, Velasco ha recordado que el Ayuntamiento está recuperando los avales de promotores que incumplieron en el pasado sus compromisos de urbanización cuando desarrollaron sus proyectos inmobiliarios en la

ciudad.

La legislación exige a los urbanizadores depositar avales bancarios para garantizar que desarrollan de forma correcta los suelos donde se realizan sus proyectos.“Tras una compleja tramitación, la ciudad está recuperando estos avales qstán siendo destinados íntegramente a la ejecución de obras de mejora en las infraestructuras de las diferentes áreas residenciales a los que estaban vinculados”, ha apuntado Velasco.

Estepona town council have announced that work has begun on the refurbishment of six roads and the construction of a new green area in Costa Galera, one of the urbanizations located in the western part of the municipality.

The Councillor for ​​Development, Infrastructure and Tourism (FIT), Ana Velasco, explained that the pavements and roads will be repaired. In addition, the manholes will be repaired, and road signs will be placed both vertically and horizontally, thus guaranteeing greater safety for pedestrians and drivers.

The work in this residential area will be completed with the creation of a new green area, which will have an approximate area of​​ about 1,000 square metres, and which will have a playground for children, a pedestrian path and street furniture, as indicated by the Councillor.

The works, which have been awarded for 175,038 euros plus VAT to the company Hormacesa, will not entail any cost for the municipal coffers because they will be executed under the guarantee deposited in guarantee of the work executed decades ago. In this regard, Velasco recalled that the Town is recovering the guarantees of developers who failed in the past their commitments when they developed their real estate projects in the municipality.

The legislation requires developers to deposit bank guarantees to ensure they correctly develop the land where their projects are carried out. "After a complex process, the city is recovering these guarantees, which are being used entirely for the execution of infrastructure improvement works in the different residential areas to which they were linked, "said Velasco.

l Ayuntamiento de Estepona informa que ha sacado a licitación las obras de tres nuevos tramos de senda peatonal que permitirán la ejecución de tres puentes sobre los arroyos Taraje, Antón y Guadalobón.

La teniente alcalde del área de Fomento, Infraestructuras y Turismo (FIT), Ana Velasco, ha explicado que el primero de los tramos, que corresponde al que se construirá sobre arroyo Taraje, consistirá en una pasarela de 130 metros de longitud en la que se creará también un puente de madera. Este puente tendrá una longitud de 20 metros y permitirá atravesar el arroyo Taraje. La senda será de hormigón impreso, excepto la pasarela del puente que será de madera. Además se crearán tres zonas ajardinadas con especies que necesiten poca agua y se adapten bien al sol y al espacio marino. Como en el resto, el proyecto se contemplará con nueva iluminación y con mobiliario urbano y el precio de licitación ascenderá a 414.146 euros, IVA incluido.

El segundo de los proyectos que está en licitación contempla la construcción de un puente de

madera de 43 metros de longitud y 3,5 metros de anchura sobre el cauce del arroyo Guadalobón.

Esta infraestructura conectará la urbanización Riviera Andaluza con una nueva zona residencial que se está ejecutando al oeste.

Además, se construirá un muro de escollera previamente y la cimentación para la estructura. El presupuesto de este nuevo tramo de corredor litoral es de 255.377 euros (IVA incluido) y el plazo de ejecución de las obras está estimado en un mes.

Además de este tramo de corredor litoral sobre el arroyo Guadalobón, el Consistorio está impulsando otras sendas en la zona oeste del municipio. Una de ellas dará continuación por el oeste al citado puente y será acometida como carga urbanística por la promotora que está desarrollando un conjunto residencial en una parcela urbanizable próxima, por lo que los trabajos no supondrán ningún coste para las arcas municipales.

El tercer tramo que ha salido a licitación es el que transcurre por la zona de arroyo Antón. Tiene una longitud total de 125 metros y consiste en una senda peatonal pavimentada para unir los ca-

minos peatonales ya existentes a uno y otro lado. Además, se ejecutará un puente de 20 metros de longitud con pasarela de madera. El presupuesto base de licitación de este tramo es de 252.765 euros, IVA incluido. Los tres tramos serán costeados con una subvención concedida por la Diputación Provincial de Málaga.

El proyecto del corredor litoral pretende unir los más de 22 kilómetros de litoral a través de sendas peatonales con el objetivo de que los ciudadanos puedan pasear y practicar deporte al aire libre. Este proyecto, que se extenderá por todo el municipio, cambiará la fisonomía de la costa tras poner en valor unos espacios que actualmente están incomunicados y que no pueden ser disfrutados por los ciudadanos. En este sentido, este proyecto está ofreciendo ya a vecinos y turistas la posibilidad de disfrutar de zonas desconocidas de la ciudad y de entornos que hasta ahora eran inaccesibles; así como de unas vistas privilegiadas en espacios en los que realizar actividades saludables al aire libre.

Manilva contará con el servicio de limpieza de barcos quitanatas La Mancomunidad de Municipios de la Costa del Sol Occidental, a través de la empresa Acosol, reforzará este año el servicio de embarcaciones para el control de calidad de las aguas en el litoral con un total de 13 barcos que estarán operativos durante un periodo de tres meses y medio, desde el 1 de junio al 15 de septiembre.

El coste del servicio, que alcanza el medio millón de euros, volverá a ser asumido por la empresa pública que por segundo año consecutivo se hace cargo de la limpieza del litoral.

Para este ejercicio el ente mancomunado contará con 9 embarcaciones de playa (de entre 5 y 7 metros) y otras cuatro para el litoral (entre 10 y 12 metros de eslora) que se destinarán a un control de la calidad de las aguas de los municipios que forman parte de la mancomunidad, como indicaba la presidenta de la entidad Margarita del Cid, que comentó que este servicio permitirá la tranquilidad de los bañistas y de los usuarios de las playas.

Según indicó la delegada de playas del ayuntamiento de Manilva, Eva Galindo, como ya ocurriera el pasado año, nuestra localidad dispondrá de un servicio muy

completo, que no solo retirará las natas del agua, sino todo tipo de residuos y medusas, que puedan dificultar el baño a los vecinos y turistas.

Las embarcaciones se distribuirán de manera que abarquen la totalidad de las zona costera occidental de la manera más efectiva posible. Para ello se determinará el sector que se cubrirá mediante un plan de trabajo redactado de acuerdo con las posibilidades de atraque de los puertos de la zona, marcándose otras rutas en caso de alguna otra necesidad concreta o incidencia.

Para Manuel Cardeña, consejero delegado de Acosol, son numerosas las mejoras con respecto a 2017, ya que desde mancomunidad se han comprometido con los ciudadanos y con el medio ambiente ofreciendo un servicio más completo y reforzado de embarcaciones.

No sólo se amplía el tiempo y el horario de servicio sino que en caso de que alguna embarcación sufra avería, será sustituida por otra en un plazo menor de 24 horas.

En caso de emergencia, la adjudicataria pondrá a disposición 2 embarcaciones adicionales de playa y una de litoral.

Las embarcaciones trabajarán con horario continuado de lunes a domingo, de ocho de la mañana a cuatro de la tarde de lunes a viernes, y de diez de la mañana a seis de la tarde los sábados, domingos y festivos, con un rendimiento semanal de 56 horas semanales cada una.

Durante 2017 los barcos de limpieza del

Manilva will once again enjoy the service of a fleet of cleaning boats From June 1 until September the Western Costa del Sol Collective of Municipalities (Mancomunidad), through its Acosol water company, will operate a fleet of cleaning boats along the Costa del Sol.

total of 13 boats, 9 between 5 and 7 metres in length which operate close to the beach, with 4 larger 10 to 12 metre boats that operate inshore.

The service costs half a million euros for the summer period and is funded by the Mancomunidad, and removes much of the

scum from the water, along with all kinds of waste and jellyfish.

The boats will operate on a rota system to cover the 90 kms or so of coastline and will be in action seven days a week; Monday to Friday from 8 am to 4 pm, and weekends and holidays from 10 am Last year, these

boats collected a total of 12,595.50 kilos of waste, according to the data provided by the operator: 3,769 kilos of plastics, 3,905 kilos of wood, 1,614 kilos of paper, 1,718 kilos of other waste, 1,222.5 kilos of jellyfish and 367 kilos of scum were taken from the sea.

'Oversize' and 'Statement Bouquets' as they are called can be truly stunning and create a sense of natural beauty, abundance and sheer delight: however, choosing the RIGHT bouquet for your special ‘look’ is every bit as important as choosing the RIGHT dress! Just as there is a gown that will feel like THE ONE, your wedding flowers will either add to, enhance and beautify your overall look, or, at worst, they can be an uninspiring accessory.

SMALL can be just as visually delightful – what matters is that you find what shape and type of flowers really work for your personality, dress, overall colour scheme, personal choice and budget.

Es imposible no estar trieste, su ausencia duele pero el recuerdo siempre nos hará sonreir! En tus propias palabras; El Show Continua.

A

re you a curious traveller? Do you want a little more than you read in travel guides? Do you want to be taken to places not even mentioned in other travel guides? Then this new series of books is for you.

Estepona residents, Nick Nutter and Julie Evans are writing a series of travel guides called 'Visit Andalucia - For the Curious Traveller'. To date they have published two guides, 'The Sherry Triangle' and 'The Road to Manilva - Exploring a forgotten corner of the Costa del Sol'.

As Nick says, 'I was a real pain at school, always asking why, how and when. I was the one that asked the deep question just before the end of lesson bell rang. It was only when I was writing for a magazine here in Spain, 'Andalucia Life' that I realised that there are many people out there that always want to know a little more.'

The Sherry Triangle explores the three towns that encompass 'the triangle', Sanlucar de Barrameda, Puerto de Santa Maria and Jerez de la Frontera, where to go, what to

do, the sites to see. The history of sherry, how it is made and who makes it is the theme that is interwoven through the book.

'The Road to Manilva - exploring a forgotten corner of the Costa del Sol', as the bye line suggests, explores the municipality of Manilva and more. Manilva has only been an independent municipality since 1796.

Before that it was a part of Casares. It is debateable whether or not it would exist at all if it were not for the Barbary pirates. Why, well you will have to read the book.

'You would be surprised just how much there is to discover about this forgotten corner of the Costa del Sol. We have been able to include subjects such as the history of amphorae and Roman roads, both integral to the development of the area from Neolithic times up to the present'.

Both published books are available now through Amazon.

IMPUESTOS DE SUCESIONES

El Impuesto de Sucesiones es un impuesto que grava la adquisición de los bienes y derechos adquiridos por herencia. Será responsable de su pago el heredero legal del fallecido. El plazo de presentación y pago es de seis meses, a contar desde el fallecimiento del causante.

Debemos resaltar que, actualmente, las personas no residentes en España tienen la misma consideración ante la ley que los residentes. Este cambio normativo se debió a la discriminación que surgía entre ambas situaciones, no pudiendo favorecerse los no residentes de una serie de beneficios por el mero hecho de su situación fiscal. Hoy en día, sí pueden acogerse a los beneficios y reducciones que marca la ley. Como regla general, se aplicará la ley de la comunidad autónoma donde esté situado el bien que posean o, en su defecto, del lugar en el que hayan pasado más tiempo en España.

La Ley de Sucesiones de Andalucía ha sufrido

INHERITANCE TAX

importantes modificaciones en este año. A partir del 1 de Enero de 2018, las herencias estarán exentas siempre y cuando el importe total del caudal sea inferior a un millón de euros. Está bonificación tiene varias reglas a tener en cuenta: estarán exentos en caso de cónyuge, ascendientes y descendientes; es requisito que el patrimonio preexistente del heredero no supere el millón de euros; no será de aplicación a herencias

ocurridas antes del 1 de enero de 2018.

Recordemos que, antes de entrar en vigor esta modificación, el límite para la exención era de 250.000 euros.

Con esta nueva regulación, se pretende ampliar el límite, con lo que el impuesto esté en exento en el 99% de los casos.

Como crítica, destacar que sigue habiendo un grupo de personas a las que no les será de aplicación la exención de un millón de euros, como son aquellos que no sean parientes directos, es decir, nietos, primos, etc.

Un proceso de herencia es un trámite muy complejo que requiere un conocimiento completo del mismo.

Desde la aceptación de una herencia hasta el Impuesto de Sucesiones, existe una gran casuística. Cada caso es distinto y es necesario que se conozca la materia en profundidad para evitar problemas en el futuro.

Inheritance Tax is a tax on acquisition of assets and rights acquired by inheritance. The deceased’s legal heir is responsible for its payment. The deadline for submission and payment of this tax is six months from the date of death of the testator.

We must emphasize that, currently, heirs who do not reside in Spain have the same consideration before the law as Residents. This regulatory change was made due to the discrimination between the situations of Residents and Non Residents. Previously Nonresidents could not benefit from a series of benefits which applied to Residents, merely because of their fiscal situation. Nowadays, they can avail themselves of the benefits and reductions established by this new law. As a general rule, the law of the autonomous community where the property and assets of the deceased are located would be applied or, failing that, the law of the location in which the deceased spent most time in Spain would be applied.

This year the Law of Successions of Andalusia has undergone important modifications, from 1st January, 2018, inheritances will be exempt from taxation as long as the total amount of the assets inherited is less than one million euro. However, this change is subject to certain conditions, e.g., when the heir is a spouse, a close ascendant or close descendant and the pre-existing heritage of the heir does not exceed one million euro the exemption would be applied; Any Inheritance before 1st January, 2018 is not eligible for this exemption.

Before this amendment came into force, the limit for the exemption was 250,000 euro. With this new regulation, by increasing the limit to 1 million euro, it means that tax should be exempt in 99% of cases.

As a criticism, we should point out that there is still a group of people who will not be subject to the exemption on amounts up to one million euro, such as those who are not direct close relatives, e.g., grandchildren, cousins, friends etc.

Receiving an Inheritance in Spain can be a complex procedure requiring specific knowledge in this particular field. Each case is different, from the stipulated acceptance of the inheritance in front of a Notary, to the calculation and payment of inheritance taxes and the transferring of properties or vehicles into the heir’s name, it is necessary to know the subject in depth to avoid any future misunderstandings.

We at Marbellasolicitors Group have a large team of professionals who can assist you during the process. Do not hesitate to contact us, if you have any questions on this or any other matter.

BISM Spring Arts Festival Budding musicians took to the stage to show off their musical talent during the Spring Arts Festival at the British International School of Marbella.

Armed with ukuleles, recorders, keyboards and violins, the youngsters put on a number of performances for family, friends and teachers.

Miss Stone, who helped organise the event, said: “The children absolutely love the opportunity to show off their talents and perform to an audience.

“A selection of our young pianists also performed and we saw how they had really improved their skills.

“Some of our young singers bravely took to the stage and entertained us

all! It was also a joy to see students starting to learn more challenging instruments such as the clarinet,

saxophone and violin.”

URBASER - Dealing with the Costa del Sol's rubbish

Some Statistics • Serves 516,000 people on the Costa del Sol • Collects 350,000 tons of domestic waste In Manilva • Serves 14,589 residents plus visitors • Maintains 86 Paper Containers in Manilva • 108 Plastics, Drinks Cartons and Can Containers April

W

ith the topic of recycling very much at the forefront of public consciousness at the moment I was pleased to join Dean Shelton and his staff from Manilva’s Environment Department, along with Sarah and Steph from the local company Eco Passion, to Urbaser’s waste recycling and processing plant on

• Collected 17,612 kilos of Paper • 1.21 kilos per person • Collected 14,480 kilos of plastics and cans • 1 kilo per person the Casares to Estepona road.

Not that I would normally get excited by a day trip to the tip, but Urbaser’s facility is an impressive example of the way forward in the disposal of household rubbish.

Urbaser are responsible for collecting the household refuse from the eleven municipalities that form the Mancomunidad de Municipalities de Costa del

Sol Occidental, a collective of municipalities from the western Costa del Sol, which pools its resources for activities such as water supply, refuse collection, etc.

This covers a population of over half a million residents, which rises dramatically during the summer months due to tourism, generating some 350,000 tons of rubbish.

A

fter a meeting with Juan Carrasco, Plant Manager and Ignacio Fernandez, Urbaser’s head of recovery of recyclables, we headed off on a tour of the facility.

One of the key responsibilities taken on by Urbaser is the education of the public, and whilst we were there a party of schoolchildren were enjoying a video on the subject. From the information centre we passed the vehicle weighbridge where the refuse lorries are weighed in and

out allowing the managers to keep a track of the refuse tonnage from each municipality.

The first area we visited was the waste reception area, where the refuse lorries unload into large pits from where operators employ large grabs, a little like those machines at the amusement arcade but on a much grander scale, to load the rubbish onto conveyors which then enter the plant.

There is a separate pit where all the plastic from the yellow recycling containers is deposited.

M

ost of the organic waste is shredded and composted in huge sheds (you remember I mentioned there was little smell, well I take that back - phew!), and up until a year ago, some 2% of this compost comprised of small

I

nside the plant we were met by a bewildering network of conveyor belts feeding a wide variety of machines that shake, tumble, sift and sort the rubbish, before it carries on to the next stage.

It’s at this point that we discovered that all refuse is processed and sorted, passing through machine, weight and optical sorting to recover metals and plastics that didn’t make it to the recycling bins, with the final processing handled by humans. In fact Urbaser recovers 90% of plastics from general refuse.

In this way 80% of household refuse is recycled with the remaining 20% compressed into metre and half

bales which are stacked three high and covered with soil.

Whilst it is great that these plastic and tin items can be recovered from the general refuse, the town hall has to pay per ton for it to be collected so it makes good sense to sort your refuse before dumping it.

Spain has a recycling policy through the not-for-profit organisation Ecoembes. Ecoembes partners with companies such as Urbaser and levies a small charge on all plastic items which bears its mark.

This funds the collection of plastics, drinks cartons and cans, without any charge to local town councils.

The plastics are collected, sorted and sent to recycling companies

pieces of broken glass, but Urbaser took a gamble on the purchase of equipment which can remove the glass from the compost, a gamble which has paid off in the 12 months since it was installed.

which repurpose it into new items, for example 40 PET plastic water bottles can be converted into a fleece, 80 tin cans go to make a bicycle rim, and just 6 tetrabriks go to make a shoebox.

Similarly, glass is recovered through a company called Ecovidrio, again the collection of glass is free of charge to local councils, and given its weight it makes even more sense to place it in the green containers allocated and not into general rubbish which costs the council.

One of the things that struck me was the lack of smell, I had steeled myself before entering the plant, fully expecting to be struck by a wall of odour, but surprisingly there was just a faint whiff which was not uncomfortable.

Recycling has improved in recent years, but always takes a dip in the summer when the local population increases through tourism. It is an unfortunate fact the visitors don’t tend to recycle their rubbish, even though they might do back at home. Urbaser and the local authorities are working on schemes to encourage and to make it easier for visitors to recycle.

Importantly given the current issues in the UK recycling industry, virtually all the recyclables are processed in Spain, and not shipped off around the world to sit in a field in Poland or rot on the dockside in Hong Kong.

A

s I mentioned earlier in this article, Urbaser are keen to educate the public and offer group guided tours of the facility which can be arranged by appointment. If you are interested contact: Jesús Amado Martín email j a m a d o @ u r b a s e r. c o m , telephone: 952 113 784

Advice • •

•

Put all plastics in the yellow container, don’t worry that you think it may not be recyclable, Urbaser will do the sorting at their plant.

Don’t think by using supermarket shopping bags to collect your rubbish in that you are helping. By their nature they are quite tough and create problems at the recycling plant where the machine sometimes has problems breaking them open.

Far better to use refuse sacks which are designed with this factor in mind.

Urbaser do not process clothing. Clothing can be donated to local charities such as the Duquesa Charitable Society of St George, who can sell it in their shops, on the market, or can pass it to a recycling company who pay a small sum per kilo.

Art Gaucin Open Studios 2018 The Art Gaucin Open Studios weekends have become a wellknown fixture of the art scene in Andalucia, with exhibitions of work by several Spanish and foreign artists.

Now well into its second decade,

the Art Gaucin Open Studios event is an opportunity to meet the artists, learn more about their work and techniques, and see and buy their paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs and ceramics.

The event is set in the picturesque

Festival Arte Sano village of Gaucin, one of the famous white pueblos near Estepona and Ronda.

This year, the Art Gaucin Open Studios will take place over two long weekends – Friday May 25 to Sunday May 27, and Friday June 1 to Sunday June 3 – and will showcase new work by Art Gaucin’s member artists as well as by guest artists Javier Machimbarrena from Spain and Gerrit OppellandHampel from Germany.

Launched more than a decade ago, Art Gaucin has built up a strong following both locally in Andalucia and overseas. Its long-established members include Jim Rattenbury, whose paintings and sculptures are in several private collections abroad, and Michael Roschlau, former Glasgow School of Art lecturer and artist whose works include lithographs, paintings and intricate clockwork wall sculptures.

Art Gaucin’s roster of painters includes Joseba Sánchez Zabaleta, Ana Pellón, Nozomi Hatano, and Paddy Robinson. The group includes photographers Chris Klees and Vivienne Whiffen as well as ceramicists and sculptors Juan Antonio Sangil, Rosie Venables and Anna McGrane, Sebastian Fisher and Silvia Franco.

With its warren of quiet, pretty streets, Gaucin is a delightful place to explore on foot. It has ancient castle ruins, offers spectacular views across the coast and towards Africa, and provides plenty of places to linger over a coffee, tapas or something more substantial while enjoying those panoramas as the village has several popular and celebrated restaurants. Local artisans will also be showing a selection of jewellery, blankets and other handmade crafts. With the upgrading of the road from Gaucin to the coast, access is faster and smoother – now just 45 minutes from Estepona and 40 minutes from Ronda.

For the full list of artists, details of their works and of the Art Gaucin Open Studios event, please visit the website artgaucin.com

Six Hard Days In Andalusia by Damian Vargas When an old-time English drug smuggler and his crew meet their end in a bloody shoot-out on the Costa del Sol, it’s of little concern to most. After all, gangsters get killed. It’s what happens in their line of work. Allegiances change. Men die. It’s the way of things. However, when Mary Lawson a.k.a. ‘The Accountant’, a former MI6 agent turned independent contractor to the mob, is instructed by her shady bosses to investigate, things quickly get a lot more complicated. Hardened by her years in British military intelligence and ruthlessly professional, the woman who is no stranger to death and suffering, sets out to find who is responsible. However, on the ‘Costa del Crime’ with its regular influx of millions of tourists, a history of political corruption, and a diverse and thriving criminal underworld, nothing is ever simple. The father that deserted his family. The prodigal daughter, fallen from grace. A hoard of devious, manipulating and violent characters. And an unfortunate British tourist who gets caught up in the middle of the whole bloody mess. Six Hard Days in Andalusia is the first in Damian Vargas’s ‘Costa del Crime’ series of action thrillers. Vargas constructs an enthralling and intricate plot, weaves in a cast of unique characters, and then places them in wonderfullyvisualised, real-world locations in southern Spain. Ex-pats and holidaymakers alike will recognise many of the novel’s settings.

Damian Vargas is an emerging author of action thrillers with a vein of dark humour running through them. He lives and works on the western end of the Costa del Sol in southern Spain

En la Residencia de las Palabras

THE RESIDENT

LUZ EN LOS OJOS Sentimientos que forman la conciencia pura.

Quien ama dibuja anhelos.

El pensamiento escapa a la realidad.

Mi alma, la luna, cuando llegó, y te dejó preñada a ti de nieve; oh choza blanca, oh espejo.

Todo está vivo en la piedra resplandeciente.

Oh claridad del alma.

Oh ofrenda de espigas.

El regalo de Dios. ¿Sentir y ver no es afirmar?

Esperanza hasta la última canción.

Ver el pueblo: la plaza, los jóvenes, la humedad del sereno en el banco sobre el oro de un otoño lunar.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera

DIGO Digo yo, que, sueltas ya las manos, a lo más grato y firme del futuro, en un sillón azul, el corazón se hace yerba, cuando querer es ofrecer a una y otra causa del destino su flor y su bonanza.

(Digo yo, callar, oír, hablar, es valiente quien habla, no critiques la conducta y la personalidad del que te quiere ayudar, ¿o es que no eres humano? Hablas de su ego, pero ¿y el tuyo?)

Digo yo, aliento de la tierra sobre tu puño, crece trigo en las ringleras.

Digo yo, que un cuerpo espera, que el sol no se cansa y la rama al niño le da sombra, y un nido donoso de pajarillos cantan.

Digo yo, me pregunto ¿quién ama?, ¿cómo la tarde es cómplice de un pensamiento?

Y un sendero de pecho en el suelo, sobre tierra mojada, derrama el vino que alienta, remando mi amigo su palabra.

Digo, que, muchos brazos se alzan,

que, sin duda el amor rememora a la esperanza.

Digo yo, que no concluyen los aromas, que la historia aprieta las mejillas del tiempo, y el hombre palpa la mies, témporas entregadas.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “Vergel humano”

Todo es: la plaza, la calle, el padre que está pidiendo algo y no lo ves: lo vieras acaso cuando ya tus pasos..., y estás como él.

Todo es: la plaza, el pobre, la barca, la piel...

Pero junto al padre, es el afecto; y la juventud y la madurez reconocen el tiempo, sabiduría y luz de los ojos del universo que te salvaguardan, que te ven.

Luz en los ojos.

La vida silente de poniente y azul.

No te calles ahora que es todo tan hermoso en el amor.

GESTOS Y ESTACIONES Sí, habla, inténtalo otra vez, aunque ya te entiendo: tus manos y tu mirada son palabras: mímica infantil sin muecas elaboradas.

Sí, eres la alegría, el calor y la paz, el verbo natural salido del centro de la nada, del todo, origen de la luz que comunica en habla aquello necesario donde se llama en ademanes o por su nombre: “mamá”, “papá”, “agua”, “pssss..., al dulzor de la gaseosa”...

Habla, hija, habla, ríete, dame la mano.

Haría una playa para ti y jugaría en su arena con la madre que te cuida día y noche; una playa inventada y un barco de papel.

Y al servicio de nosotros la imaginación de un pez que nos lleva a las ilusiones del mar.

Sí, habla, tus sonidos son un pájaro, sonidos de la luna amando a los demás astros:

Sí, son sueños de poeta y de peces en un solo papel.

Pero es todo tan real.

Muecas y canales de pureza en tus movimientos.

LOS DÍAS

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Un día más en que se abre la ventana.

Del libro: “Vergel humano” Un día más en que la mañana tiene a la luz del sol por cómplice para alimentar de fe mi casa.

DE TI, UN SER De ti, un ser: gotas de amor hecha materia: vida de mi vida, vida de tu vida.

Caricia de la luz que suspende tu seno.

En el silencio de tu dolor la luna alumbra el vientre. ...Pero una paz...; tuyo es el hijo (hembra en la faz de la tierra), amor sublime mimando el río, la sombra, el bosque; un mundo y sus especies..., universo para el hijo. ¡Oh, creador!

(Y en la plaza un viejo que espera, un hombre que conoció el amor y por eso sabe de la fidelidad de la tierra).

En las frías tejas del invierno

un pájaro canta anidando la esperanza,

en sus húmedas plumas,

sueños que no detiene nadie:

gotas de lluvia cayendo en el ser,

aliento en las entrañas del mundo: De ti, un ser, criatura hacia el destino, el alma de un pájaro lo ve.

Que nazca.

Que nazca.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “Vergel humano”

Otro día en que me voy a trabajar...

Y me dolerán los pies cansados.

Y pienso: “Doy gracias por la amistad de Miguel...”.

Un día más para confraternizar espacios, para dar vida en el quehacer diario, para obtener de la modestia de una gota de rocío un momento especial en la hierba que me habla.

Un día más en el mar, con él, soñando la corpulencia de sus caballos azules.

Un día más en que el Verbo se hace lejano y es tan cercana su alma.

Un día en que algo quiere cambiar, y eres tú mismo, rebelde... (el aire en la piel que te despierta).

Al final de la jornada, la ventana abierta: un día más en que mi hija derrama su felicidad a un corazón antiguo de la noche, y en un vaso de agua rebosan las estrellas.

Un día más con su principio y su fin. ¡Cuánto importa el amor para crecer en la verdad!

Alma y cuerpo ocupando el mundo, corazón del aire abrigando en el frío invierno la voluntad de ir más allá del día, y hallar un día más.

Un día más que merece la pena para dar ensueños a nuestro lugar.

CLASSIC NEGRONI Made with Campari, a bitter-sweet red liqueur that’s been around since the 1860’s, Negroni is a cocktail originating in Italy and best enjoyed while lounging around on a sun dappled veranda.

One of the earliest reports of the drink came from Orson Welles while working in Rome in 1947. He described a new drink called the Negroni, “The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you. They balance each other.”

We like a balanced argument. Thankfully the sun has come out now, so pop down to Kinsale, we can make you a Negroni and dapple the sun all you want.

Saint George Charity presents 5,000 euros to Estepona’s Emaus social kitchen The Duquesa Charitable Society of Saint George recently presented a cheque for 5,000 euros to the Emaus social kitchen in Estepona as the charity’s latest donation in its Feed a Child Campaign.

Thanks to contributions by the Saint George Charity of 14,600 euros, and their continued support, the Estepona social kitchen has supplemented its breakfast service, specifically for children to have a packed breakfast and afternoon snack to take to school and not have to go hungry in the mornings.

The aim is to alleviate the problems that these children suffer, mainly the lack of concentration and therefore low school performance.

The delivery of breakfasts and snacks to the children of the Emmaús Social Kitchen in Estepona began at the end of May, 2016. On average 40 children have been served until the end of the school Term. Twice a week they have delivered to the parents a bag with everything necessary for breakfast and afternoon snack.

In the bag, juices, shakes, yogurts,

biscuits, cheese, cereal bars, fruit, etc., are always delivered, aiming to encourage these children to have a balanced diet.

During the summer holidays the social kitchen have continued to deliver twice a week this special bag for breakfast / snack for the

children.

Thanks go to all the charity's volunteers and donors, along with one of the project's chief fundraisers, Jojo France from Sotogrande to whom both Emaus and the Saint George Charity are grateful.

En la bolsa, zumos, batidos, yogurt, galletas, queso, barritas de cereales, fruta, etc., se entregan siempre para animar a esos niños a tener una dieta equilibrada. Durante las vacaciones de verano, el comedor social ha seguido entregando dos veces a la semana esta bolsa de desayuno/merienda especial para los niños.

Love to Sing Choir September 2017 saw the formation of a locally based choir created for those of us who love to sing, having been a choir member previously or not. The "Love to Sing" choir is multi national and at present has approximately 50 members. We meet every Wednesday evening between 7-9pm at Ringos bar, Pueblo Mexicano to rehearse. The choir is extremely lucky to have Shirley Helleur as our musical director, she is an extremely experienced musician and has a wealth of expertise in the business of turning "bath time buskers" into reasonable singers! Throughout the year the choir will perform a repertoire of songs at various events and at each performance any donations collected will be in aid of St. George's charity in order to support the local community and those in need.

We shall look forward to welcoming anyone who would like to come along and join in as meeting people, making new friends and having fun are an important part of our choir.

Gentlemen in particular, if you love to sing but are keeping your talents to yourself and the shower, we need more male voices, so don't be shy!

Anyone planning an event and would like Love to Sing to perform, please don't hesitate to contact us.

If your event is to raise funds for your charity, any donations go to your cause.

For more information please contact Alison 956 616 060 / 656 268 545 Spanish and English spoken.

April a bit too wet for ICE! In fact it was so wet that the hotly contested Golf Spring Cup had to be postponed till a later date.

However, the important business of the day – the lunch at La Choza – went ahead as planned, and the Order of Merit for the ten best results from any golfer over the year was awarded to Les Jinks.

On the same day the Gardening Club visited the Orchid House in Estepona and were impressed by this spectacular building and the 1,300 species of orchids it houses.

Back in March the Ice Players had a hit with their comedy The Worst Day of my Life. A supper was served downstairs, and then we saw how the upper floor of the clubhouse had been transformed into a hospital ward. If we were expecting something along the lines of “Carry on, Nurse” we were not disappointed. Congratulations to all members of the group, and we look forward to your next production.

There were lunches out and at the

clubhouse, and special mention must be made of the early St. George’s Day lunch prepared by our Catering Manager Brenda and her team.

This month’s highlight though was the 5-day trip to Madrid by AVE, taking in the Royal Palace at Aranjuez, the picturesque village of Chinchón and the grand finale,

a fabulous meal at an Argentine restaurant, complete with tango dancing. Congratulations to Carol on her winner’s certificate!

For details of our regular and special activities visit our website: www.siberme.com, and come and meet us at the clubhouse on Bahía Dorada. New and rejoining members are equally welcome.

¿Qué vuelve locos a nuestros gatos y perros?

39

Ronald Rosenfeld D.V.M. Sabinillas - Tel: 656 681 889

A los gatos les desequilibran las novedades y a los perros el aislamiento o la sobreprotección Perros y gatos comparten el motivo más habitual de sus quebraderos de cabeza: el estrés.

La diferencia entre unos y otros son las causas que lo provocan.

En el caso de los gatos, los cambios en su territorio (hogar), como una modificación del mobiliario, que se puede traducir en conductas como: “un exceso de lamido, que puede llegar a provocar heridas, usar el rascador más de lo normal o en lugares no habituales y la aparición de calvas o eccemas”, comenta Sandra Nieto, veterinaria y supervisora de centros veterinarios Sanitos de Kiwoko. Los desajustes en la conducta de un gato estresado también pueden afectar al uso inadecuado que hace de su arenero. “Orinar o defecar fuera de su bandeja, aunque la arena esté limpia y alejada de la comida, es una forma de llamar la atención y de expresarse”, añade la veterinaria.

En el caso de los gatos, la procesión va por dentro.

“Son animales que se estresan

con mucha facilidad, aunque pensemos que llevan una vida tranquila y sin sobresaltos, porque les vemos dormitando en el sofá”, explica Nieto. Y es que los gatos tienden a disimular sus debilidades, entre ellas cuando están alterados o nerviosos, por ello es más complicado detectar sus problemas psicológicos y acuden menos al veterinario.

Asimismo, los celos son otras de las causas habituales de alteraciones de comportamiento felino, que se puede manifestar en agresiones a uno o varios miembros de la familia.

Pero, ¿y los perros? ¿Qué les desequilibra? Se trata de animales sociales y gregarios, que necesitan la compañía de su grupo para tener una mente sana. Las causas que les provocan problemas psicológicos son: vivencias traumáticas (abandono o malos tratos), así como humanizarles, sobreprotegerles o aislarles, lo que puede provocarles alteraciones de comportamiento como: agresividad, ladridos

compulsivos, automutilación, nerviosismo y movimientos repetitivos, como perseguirse la cola o girar sobre sí mismos.

Tratamientos y soluciones

“El tratamiento de la conducta compulsiva del perro o del gato pasa por detectar la causa que la desencadena, intentar disminuir el estrés, evitar castigos por parte de los dueños, fomentar la actividad física y, en algunos casos, el tratamiento farmacológico que prescribirá el veterinario, en caso de que lo considere necesario”, recomienda la veterinaria Ana Cameno.

Contra el estrés felino existen soluciones específicas como: Aromas que tranquilizan al gato.

El uso de feromonas olfativas sintéticas en spray o difusor, que rebajan su nivel de estrés.

Paciencia frente a los celos felinos.

Si el problema son los celos, solamente hay que tener

paciencia, porque suelen ser comportamientos transitorios y desaparecen al cabo de un tiempo.

Otro compañero gatuno para evitar el aburrimiento.

Si los dueños se lo pueden permitir y están dispuestos a asumir el período de adaptación cuando otro gato llega a casa, es una solución apropiada para que el felino se sienta acompañado y por lo tanto para prevenir

What drives our cats and dogs crazy?

Cats are affected by anything new while dogs by isolation or overprotection Dogs and cats share the most common reason for their getting upset: stress. The difference between them is what produces it. In the case of cats, changes in their environment or territory (home), such as rearranging furniture, which can be manifested into behaviours such as: an excess of licking, which can lead to injury, use the scratching post (or

furniture) more than normal Or the appearance of baldness or eczema in unusual places, according to Sandra Nieto, veterinarian and supervisor of veterinary centres of Kiwoko. Changes in the behaviour of a stressed cat may also affect the improper use of their sandbox.

"Urinating or defecating out of the tray, even if the sand is clean and away from food, is a way to get your

attention and express themselves," adds the veterinarian.

Cats tend to internalise. "They are animals that get stressed very easily, even if we think they lead a quiet carefree life without any problems, because we see them dozing on the sofa," explains Nieto.

And cats tend to disguise their weaknesses/feelings, including when they are upset or nervous, so it is more difficult to detect their psychological problems and therefore take them less frequently to the vet.

Likewise, jealousy is another of the habitual causes of alterations of feline behaviour, that can be manifested in aggressions to one or several members of the family.

What about the dogs? What upsets them? These are social and gregarious animals that need the company of their group to have a healthy mind. The most common causes that provoke psychological problems are: traumatic experiences (abandonment or abuse),

as well as over humanizing, overprotecting or isolating them, that can cause behavioural alterations such as: aggressiveness, compulsive barking, self-mutilation, nervousness and repetitive movements, such as chasing their tail or repeatedly turning around and around on themselves.

Treatments and solutions

The treatment of compulsive behaviour of the dog or cat is designed to detect the cause that triggers it, to try to reduce stress, avoid punishment by the owners, encourage physical activity and, in some cases, the additional use of a pharmacological treatment that will be prescribed by a Veterinarian, should they consider it necessary, recommends the veterinarian Ana Cameno.

There are specific solutions to pet stress: Aromas that reassure the cat or the dog,

conductas desajustadas que afecten a la convivencia con el animal en casa.

Los mejores detectores de los problemas psicológicos de perros y gatos son sus dueños.

Por ello, conviene valorar en su justa medida los cambios de comportamiento y acudir al veterinario para tomar medidas que resuelvan los problemas psicológicos que merman su calidad de vida y felicidad.

Ronald Rosenfeld D.V.M. Sabinillas - Tel: 656 681 889

the use of some synthetic olfactory pheromones in a spray or diffuser, which lowers their stress levels.

Patience in the face of jealousy.

If the problem is jealousy, you just have to be patient, because they are usually transient behaviour and will disappear after a while.

Another feline or canine companion should help to avoid boredom.

If the owners can afford it and are willing to take up the adaptation period when another pet comes into the home, this may be an appropriate solution for the feline or canine to feel accompanied and therefore to prevent misconduct that affect the coexistence with the animal at home. The best detectors of the psychological problems of dogs and cats are their owners.

For this reason, it is appropriate to evaluate behavioural changes and go to the veterinarian to take measures that solve the psychological problems that impair their quality of life and happiness.

Sprinting!

Sprinting is running over a short distance in a limited period of time. It is used in many sports that incorporate running, typically as a way of quickly reaching a target or goal, or avoiding or catching an opponent.

Many people runsome competitively, some for fun and some for ‘ head space’ For most people they just slip on their trainers and head out for a comfy 3,5,10 k run.

BUT- it’s very rare you hear someone say ‘ I’m off for a sprint’ Running and sprinting are vigorous intensity exercises. While they both use the same muscle groups, the difference lies in speed. Sprinting is a more powerful, faster form of running that can only be performed in short spurts.

I am currently working closely with a former Spanish sprint champion Juan Anelo , he’s won medals at many high level championships, and is now spearheading a ‘sprint’ school based in Sotogrande.

Sprinting is very technical- and I realized very quickly there are many areas for errors.

There are 4 main phases of sprinting , start, accelerating, maintaining speed, and deceleration and within these areas there are many different and very specific drills

that can identify weakness , risk to injury or even the ability to run faster.

They look at foot placement , ankle mobility, core stability, shoulder positions plus many others.

It’s very easy to see those that will struggle to run, not because they can’t learn but because their bodies are moving in the wrong patterns or with bad habits.

From these drills, you can workout what areas need stretching, stabilizing and strengthening.

And, with practice this is how your running technique and speed will improve.

Whether you run for fun or competition, most people can reduce the risk of injury, improve their speed or even just feel more comfortable by learning some basic skills .

The sprint group is open to all levels from aged 8 years upwards , whatever your level.

The courses are run 1 hour per week for 4 weeks, different days/ times ( based on ability and not age).

¡Sprinting!

Sprinting es correr una distancia corta en un periodo de tiempo limitado. Se utiliza en muchos deportes que incluyen la carrera, normalmente como una forma de llegar rápidamente a un objetivo, o evitar o atrapar a un oponente Muchas personas corren, algunas de forma competitiva, otras por diversión y otras para escapar de la rutina.

La mayoría de las personas se ponen sus zapatillas de deporte y se lanzan a una cómoda carrera de 3,5 a 10 kms. PERO, es muy raro oír a alguien que diga, “me voy a hacer un sprint”.

Correr y hacer sprinting son ejercicios de intensidad alta.

Aunque ambos usan los mismos grupos de músculos, la diferencia está en la velocidad. El sprinting es más potente, una forma más rápida de correr que solo puede realizarse en periodos cortos.

Actualmente trabajo estrechamente con un campeón español del sprinting, Juan Anelo. Ganó medallas en muchos campeonatos de alto nivel, y ahora dirige una escuela de “Sprint” en Sotogrande.

El sprinting es muy técnico, y me di cuenta rápidamente que se pueden cometer muchos errores. Hay 4 fases principales en el sprinting: inicio, aceleración, mantener velocidad y desaceleración y en estas áreas hay muchos entrenamientos que pueden identificar la debilidad, el riesgo a lesiones y la capacidad de correr más rápido. Miran la colocación del pie, la movilidad del tobillo, la estabilidad, las posiciones de los hombros y muchas otras cosas. Es muy fácil ver a aquellos a los que les cuesta correr, o porque no pueden aprender sino porque sus cuerpos

se mueven en patrones erróneos o con malos hábitos. Para estos entrenamientos, puedes saber qué áreas necesitan estiramiento, estabilización y refuerzo. Y con la práctica, así es como tu técnica de carrera y velocidad mejorará.

Tanto si corres por diversión o para competir, la mayoría de las personas pueden reducir el riesgo de lesiones, mejorar su velocidad e incluso sentirse más cómodos aprendiendo algunas habilidades básicas.

El grupo de sprint está abierto a todos los niveles desde los 8 años en adelante, sea cual sea tu nivel. Los cursos son de 1 hora a la semana durante 4 semanas, a diferentes horas y días (según la capacidad, no la edad). Para obtener más información, ponte en contacto conmigo: Jojofrance_69@hotmail.com

The Gecko on the Wall The world of golf through the eyes of Calum McGregor

Professional tour caddies, will never become extinct

M

issing the cut, is a horrible feeling. One I never want to get used to. As I sit here now, having just missed the weekend, I look around at my small cheap hostel room that has been my home for the week. No cupboard space means my luggage has resided on the floor, next to a pile of dirty laundry. My wet caddie outfits are hanging in the small shower cubicle that is no wider than the width of my shoulders, and with every scalding turn I knocked the handle to scorching hot. The tiny room has provided me with a place to sleep in between soaking wet rounds on wind blasted and water logged fairways, but tomorrow I will pack my semi moist gear into my bag and head to the next destination on my journey.

Without a full time bag on the main tour, some die hard caddies, in the hope of work, follow the traveling circus of the Challenge Tour. At their own expense, they travel thousands of kilometres on trains, planes, ferry’s and busses to get to the next event venue.

They fork out their own money and sleep in the cheapest accommodation they can find to have the pleasure of “going on the spit”, the indignity of hanging around the golf club entrance, hoping to spot a friendly face who will employ them for a week.

Standing at the club house entrance, looking for golfers carrying their own bags, is almost a caddie initiation, a rite of passage into the crazy caddie lifestyle, a test you have the steel and determination

required to actually handle the job.

Unfortunately for the boys on the spit, most of the players on the smaller tours don’t use caddies, as it is an added expense that most can’t afford. Yes some famous golfers have private jets, million dollar yachts and luxury mansions, but those are few and far between.

Most professional golfers haven’t won a famous green jacket or lifted the sought after Claret jug. US Opens and Race to Dubai winners are only once a year, and until a player wins a major title, they aren’t included in the million dollar circle.

More than ninety percent, if not more, are struggling pros, trying to make a living by competing in tournaments across the globe and without victories all they earn are expenses and plenty of them.

Most of the golfers arriving at a tournament venue, smile a polite hello and shake hands with the caddies on the spit, but unfortunately they have small families at home and young mouths to feed, so they wish the caddies good luck in finding work, and thankfully decline their offer. Those are the genuinely friendly players that the caddies wish they could work for. They are nice guys that make the hours spent working together, enjoyable and stress free. Which normally result in a successful partnership.

Considering the most important key to a successful caddie/player partnership is down to personalities and communication. Spending hours a day on a cold rainy field, huddling together against the elements, fighting and grinding as a team, is a lot easier when you like

and get on with the person you are with. When you feel a fondness for a player as a person, the caddie wants to support in the mutual cause of making cuts. Even if they know it could be a short lived affair.

Yes the caddie gets 10% of the victory money, but in my opinion that’s only fair, considering they usually take ninety percent of the blame.

Until a caddie finds his match in a player, they will spend their time working for whoever is willing to help pay their travel expenses.

Someone to help fund their quest.

With a shake of hands and no promise of a guarantee, a caddie will hump a player’s heavy tour bag around a rain soaked course for up to twelve hours, for a day’s wage that is sometimes paid in a few weeks’ time.

Apart from the physical exertion, the caddies will have to smile as they listen to excuses and absorb the blame and abuse. Chasing after thrown clubs, giving the wrong yardages, reading the wrong lines, and not raking the bunkers properly, all part of a day’s work that can end with a minutes notice.

The reason the few crazy surviving caddies do this thankless task, are downstairs as I write. In the cheap ground floor hostel bar, is a party of caddies, mad enough to endure the journey. Gathering for the night’s festivities, I know that “Schneibs” my roomate Scotsman is downstairs having a beer after a week with No Spark accompanied by “Moto GP”, who also never managed to get his player across the cut line. “Carlos Valderrama”,

the Argentinian caddie Maradona, will be toasting “Polo” with a bottle of rioja, both preparing for the tournament weekend ahead.

“Little John” who carried a bag bigger than him will be chugging beers with sidekick “Harry Henderson” the Parkhouse-Crolla who both managed to get to minus two and have been paired to play together in the morning.

I will join “Smoking Joe Frazer”, “Elevenareef”, “Plastic Duck” and “Pistol Pete”, and together we will commiserate defeat.

The “Protein fiend” has an early night because he is only three behind the lead. But the rest of us will share stories probably late into the night.

Heading for the next tournament venue in search of adventure and a new story to unfold, a true caddie just never gets old. The dream of finding their perfect partner still burning in every caddies minds, as they hump and sweat during their daily grind. Caddies will always be waiting for their player, one adven-

ture at a time.

Back in my humble abode after a night of laughter, I start to look forward to my next adventure and realise that I have the best job in the world. Who can travel from country to country doing something that they love, earning good money along the way? Who meets incredible people with each new destination? Experiencing new cultures, different customs, eating exotic gastronomy, whilst hearing new languages on a weekly basis is the norm. What profession gives you the opportunity to make friends with locals in each town or city you visit, whilst building a brotherhood with the people you travel with.

Next week I will have forgotten about the rain whipped fairways and perhaps even the missed cut.

I will be walking along the fairways of a sun-drenched Mediterranean golf course. My apartment is on the beach and my fishing rods will be soaking at night. After drinking a bottle of red, I’ll let Schneibs check this over while I go to bed.

Valle Romano golf to host the Andalucía Costa del Sol Match play 9

Alfie Plants seeds of future success at Valle Romano

The second edition of the Andalucía Costa del Sol Match Play 9 will be held at the stunning Valle Romano Golf in southern Spain from May 17-20.

Following a successful first staging last season, the picturesque coastal town of Estepona will now host the second edition of the innovative event, won last year by England’s Aaron Rai. The exciting format comprises of 36 holes of stroke play with the top 64 European Challenge Tour players making it through to the weekend – where they will compete in a series of nine-hole match play battles for a €200,000 prize fund.

Valle Romano Golf boasts a phenomenal championship course, with signature holes named after famous Spanish players – hole two is named after José Maria Olazábal, hole five is named after Miguel Ángel Jiménez while hole nine is the ‘Seve Ballesteros hole’.

The Cabell B. Robinson-designed course, which hosted the Second Stage of Qualifying School in 2013, has a challenging parkland layout which measures 6975 yards and is known for its fast greens.

Joining the field at the Andalucía Match Play Challenge at Valle Romano, is the winner of the Silver Medal at last year’s 146th Open Championship, Alfie Plant.

The 25 year old will tee it up at Valla Romano, as he starts his rookie season as a professional player. Plant turned professional six months ago after a glittering amateur career that culminated in him competing in last year’s Walker Cup. Alfie also won the European Amateur Champion, earning a place at the Open where he enjoyed a memorable week at Royal Birkdale. Carding a third round 69 en route to a tie for 62nd place alongside 2011 Masters Tournament winner Charl Schwartzel and finishing as the top amateur golfer of the year.

“I’m really excited to get going,” he said. “It’s been a long winter back home and it’s nice to finally get a card.

“I was pretty consistent as an amateur so it’d be nice out here – in my first year – to get really consistent and make most of the cuts.

“I want to try and get in contention a few times and just see how it goes.

“At the minute, because I’m playing off invites all year, a top ten finish would signal a great week. It would mean that I’d get into next week and try and get some momentum going.

“Top ten is my aim this week and every week.”

The London born player and passionate Millwall Football club supporter, cherishes the memories of his Silver Medal win – the prize awarded to the top amateur at the world’s oldest Major Championship – but insists the Challenge Tour is a different task altogether.

“The Open was a dream come true last year,” he said. “I had a great week there at Birkdale and that’s going to be in my memory forever.

“It’s a completely different game now in a different ball park, so hopefully I can get a few good scores and see how it goes.” Playing against some of the best professional golfers in the world, Alfie will have to find his feet as a rookie professional. It’s going to take a little time to adjust to the professional ranks but with Alfie’s talent, it shouldn’t take too long.

The Andalucía Costa del Sol Match Play 9, the only match play event on the 2018 Challenge Tour schedule, is one of two Spanish tournaments which will take place this season and will be played two weeks after the Challenge de España.

Alain de Soultrait, European Challenge Tour Director, said: “We are delighted to confirm that the Andalucía Costa del Sol

Match Play 9 will take place at the beautiful Valle Romano Golf.

“Last year’s match play format proved very popular among players and fans alike, and we are thrilled that we have kept this exciting format for this year’s event.

“The golf course is in excellent condition with incredibly fast greens, which I am sure will provide the perfect setting for the nine-hole match play contests”

Alfie is no stranger to the area, having competed in last year’s Valderrama Masters, where he successfully made his first cut on the European Tour as a professional golfer. His swashbuckling style of golf, paired with his “never give in” attitude is reminiscent of a young Seve. Accompanied by his friendly manners and jovial nature, Alfie is a favourite amongst the golfing fans who come to support him. Affectionately known as Alfie’s Army, his supporters can often be heard cheering him on from across the course.

Plant ended his amateur career by competing in the 2017 Walker Cup, the most prestigious tournament in amateur golf, and there is now a strong British contingent from that Great Britain and Ireland team competing on the Challenge Tour, with the likes of Jack Singh Brar finishing tied second in the Turkish Airlines Challenge and Scott Gregory who is also in the field of players.

“There’s a good group of lads coming through from the amateur ranks,” he said. “We’ve played together for a few years now so it’ll be nice if a few of us can get through and crack right on.

“We’ve got some great British guys out there at the minute but they need a new crop to follow them through and crack on. Hopefully we can keep the crowds pleased in the future.”

Joining Plant in Spain is Denmark’s Joachim B. Hansen who is in fine form. Following a share of second place in China last month the 27 year old went one better in his next event at the Turkish Airlines Challenge where he secured his maiden Challenge Tour title.

Another player at the peak of his powers is Chile’s Nico Geyger who has recorded back-to-back top five finishes in his first two Challenge Tour starts of the season.

El Club Internacional de Esgrima campeón de España de Esgrima Artística

E

ste evento fue organizado por Instituto Marqués de Santillana y el Ayuntamiento de Torrelavega, con el apoyo de la Sala de Armas Luis XIV, y el Gobierno de Cantabria, y la Real Federación Española de

Esgrima en el que han participado casi un centenar de deportistas llegados de toda España y de fuera de nuestro país.

Los alumnos participantes, estudiantes de la Titulación Superior en Arte Dramático de ESAEM,

The International Fencing Club Spanish Champions in Artistic Fencing This event was organized by the Marqués de Santillana Institute and the Torrelavega Town Council, with the support of the Sala de Armas Luis XIV, the Government of Cantabria, and the Royal Spanish Fencing Federation, and saw the participation of almost a hundred athletes from all over Spain and overseas.

Participating from our club were students of the Superior Degree in Dramatic Art of ESAEM, Miriam San Juan, Fran Arroyo, Naia Sánchez, Mónica Solaun, Lara García, Antonio Sánchez, Javier Muñoz, Javier Domínguez and Alejandra Ortega, accompanied

by Master of Fencing, Alberto Cerrada, fencing teacher of ESAEM and Fencing Club of Andalucia.

The group gained medals in: Gold, in the “Golden Age” mode, for the nine participants with the piece “El Maestro de Esgrima”, and another gold for the maestro Alberto Zerrada as choreographer of the same.

Silver, in the “Timeless Battle” category, for the eight students and the teacher as choreographer with

the title: “Muralla en danza”.

Bronze, in “Timeless Duel” mode, for Fran Arroyo and Miriam San Juan, with the work if “... if I could”.

Bronze, in “Duelo Siglo de Oro” category with the number of El Zorro for Javier Domínguez and Lara García Maestro Zerrada congratulated his students for the “important work and effort put into this championship” and thanked ESAEM for its support in making this possible.

In addition, this achievement will make these students participate, if they are selected by the Spanish Fencing Federation, in the World Championship of Artistic Fencing.

The scenic fencing is a fundamental subject in the formation of actors, dancers and singers, because thanks to it, the artists know how to recreate the old duels, and battles of yesteryear, they learn the art of creating, integrating and performing choreographies of scenes of fights within the performance, be it theatrical representation, historical recreation, spectacle, television or film scene.

Miriam San Juan, Fran Arroyo, Naia Sánchez, Mónica Solaun, Lara García, Antonio Sánchez, Javier Muñoz, Javier Domínguez y Alejandra Ortega, llegaron de la mano del Maestro de Esgrima Alberto Cerrada, profesor de

esgrima de ESAEM y del Club Internacional de Esgrima de AndaluZía.

The Mental Caddie After publishing The Mental Caddie, (available on Amazon) I was inundated with people asking me if the book was about me being a crazy or mental caddie, knowing that I work as a golf coach and professional tour caddie. Others asked if the book was written only for caddies and professional golfers to read. I had to constantly explain to people that the book was written in such a way that non-golfers could enjoy the read. The reader gets to find out what goes through the mind of a professional golfer during a tournament. How do the player’s mentally prepare themselves for a competitive round of golf and how do they train and practice to achieve the best results possible?

Being a full time caddie I spend a lot of time around the world’s finest professional golfers, watching and learning. I pass on all the knowledge I have gathered to my young amateur golfers, who also hope to make it one day in the world of pro golf. I teach these young impressionable minds with stories and anecdotes, through humour and fun. My pearls of wisdom and how I delivered them while caddying, have produced some amazing stories of miracles and success.

That is what my book is all about.

It was written to inspire people, to

give the reader a feel for my passion and love for the mental game of golf.

A saddening statistic in the world of golf is that there is as many people a year who take up the game, as there is who leave it. I have heard stories of people going for a first lesson in golf and getting so disheartened that they can’t hit the ball, they never try again. The coaches they went to, broke their golfing spirit before even teaching them passion and creativity.

I challenged a few nongolfer friends of mine to read The Mental Caddie and as I hoped, they all wanted to try out the cerebral sport. Inspired by the opportunity to welcome newcomers to the sport of golf, I developed a teaching/training programme that will give newcomers and mid to high handicap golfers a complete new way to look at golf. My backwards golf teaching, combines the elements of mental strength and physical ability. In only a few short hours, a com-

hará a éstos alumnos participar, si son seleccionados por la Federación Española de Esgrima, en el Campeonato del Mundo de Esgrima Artística.

Este campeonato ha sido un verdadero espectáculo en vivo en el que no se ha dejado nada a la improvisación, y donde los participantes han hecho gala de imaginación escénica y destreza con las armas. Además, dependiendo de las categorías, ha sido necesario un vestuario para cada uno de los números, siguiendo así el rigor histórico y por ello, nuestros alumnos han lucido vestimenta acorde a la época, mostrando así, el lado más artístico de éste deporte.

La esgrima escénica es una asignatura fundamental en la formación de actores, bailarines y cantantes, ya que gracias a ella, los artistas saben recrearse en los antiguos duelos, en batallas de época, aprenden el arte de crear, integrar y realizar coreografías de escenas de enfrentamientos dentro de la actuación, ya sea representación teatral, recreación histórica, espectáculo, escena televisiva o cinematográfica.

plete novice can start thinking like a pro, using practice drills used by the top players on tour. The Backwards golf program creates a passion in the new player, an instant understanding of the mental state of mind you need to be in when playing golf. My backwards golf teaching method helps new players build their unique swing that fits their body size and flexibility.
