THE RESIDENT Julio - July 2016

Editorial Bienvenidos a la edición de julio de The Resident Me gustaría comenzar esta editorial con lo más destacado del pasado mes, es decir, el referéndum de Reino Unido para salir de la Unión Europea. Probablemente podría llenar este número con artículos relacionados con las consecuencias y posibles ramificaciones de esta decisión, pero como siempre he dicho, no soy periodista, simplemente un adicto a la información, y The Resident ha construido su reputación proporcionando noticias e información objetivas, de forma que nuestros lectores puedan tengan una fuente de información fiable. Y aquí está el problema: hay tan pocos hechos que soy reacio a intentar esbozar las posibles consecuencias.

Una cosa sí es cierta: nada cambiará durante al menos dos años, así que una vez que las cosas se calmen, podremos ver, espero, el camino que se nos presenta con al menos algo de claridad. Mientras, ahora posiblemente es un buen momento, si aún no lo has hecho, para preparar todo tu papeleo, como residencia, permisos de conducir y cualquier otra cosa que has estado dejando, ya que pase lo que pase, podría afectar a la forma en que las autoridades españolas te ven, si las cosas se ponen “feas”.

No solo los británicos tuvieron una cita en las urnas (al menos aquellos que podían votar), ya que España ha vuelto a celebrar sus elecciones generales para elegir un gobierno. Tras el fallido intento del pasado diciembre de formar un gobierno con mayoría, el domingo 26 de junio los españoles volvieron a visitar las urnas. La vez anterior, ningún partido obtuvo la mayoría y fue imposible formar coaliciones para gobernar.

Como era de esperar, de nuevo, ningún partido obtuvo la mayoría, y aunque se produjeron algunos cambios en el número de diputados conseguidos, estos no son suficientes para formar un gobierno mayoritario, y por ello, podríamos ver una coalición PP-PSOE de forma similar a la coalición Conservadora-LibDem de Gran Bretaña en 2010, aunque eso supondría un nivel de compromiso por parte de los políticos españoles nunca visto.

Aparte de todo esto, me gustaría mencionar un par de progresos en The Resident, que incluyen una mejora en el aspecto del periódico. Además, le doy la bienvenida a Calum McGregor, a quien muchos conocéis por su serie de libros “Rock HardCaddie”; a partir de ahora estará a cargo de la recién ampliada sección de deportes del periódico.

Y eso es todo por este mes. Espero que disfrutes de este número y nos vemos el mes que viene, donde os mostraré algunas otras mejoras hechas a The Resident.

Gracias

Welcome to the July issue of The Resident.

I’d like to to begin this editorial with the ‘Elephant in the Room’, namely the UK’s referendum vote to leave the European Union. I could probably fill this issue with articles regarding the fallout and possible ramifications of this decision, but as I have always stated I am not a journalist, rather I’m an information junkie, and The Resident has built its reputation by providing factual news and information on which our readers can rely on for accuracy. Well therein lies the problem there are so few facts that I‘m reluctant to try to outline the possible consequences.

There are a few things that are certain, nothing will change for at least a couple of years, so once the dust settles we will hopefully be able to see the way forward with at least some clarity. In the meantime now is probably a good time, if you haven’t done so already, to get all your paperwork in order, such as residency, driving licences, and anything else that you may have been putting off, as whatever happens it could affect how you are viewed by the Spanish authorities should things become ‘awkward’.

It wasn’t just the British (at least those that were allowed to vote) who were at the polls recently, Spain had a second go at electing a government on Sunday 26 June, after failing to give a majority to any single party and the breakdown of subsequent coalition attempts.

Well as expected once again no single party gained a majority and whilst there were a few changes to the number of seats won, these wouldn’t be sufficient to make a big difference to the horse trading that will ensue, that could see a PP-PSOE coalition in a similar vein to Britain’s Conservative-LibDem coalition of 2010, although that would take a level of compromise unheard of in Spanish politics.

All that aside, I’d like to mention a couple of developments at The Resident which include an improvement to the look and feel of the paper. I would also like to welcome Calum McGregor, who many of you will know from his ‘Rock Hard Caddie’ series of books, who will be in charge of The Resident’s newly expanded sports section.

Well that’s all for this month, I hope you enjoy this issue and I look forward to talking to you again next month with news of more improvements to The Resident.

Se reanudan las obras del túnel del aeropuerto de Gibraltar

E

l Gobierno de Gibraltar ha anunciado que finalmente ha negociado una solución con el contratista Obrascon Huarte Lain SA para completar el túnel bajo el extremo oriental de la pista del aeropuerto. Este acuerdo evitará más retrasos, ya que requiere al contratista completar el túnel como máximo el 30 de noviembre del 2018 y a un coste cercano al de la oferta del 2008.

OHL comenzó a trabajar en el proyecto, pero tras la finalización del contrato por parte del Gobierno de Gibraltar en agosto del 2011, la empresa inició un proceso legal contra el Gobierno.

La posterior disputa legal finalizó en julio del 2015, cuando el Tribunal de Apelaciones falló contra OHL y se le negó la apelación ante el Tribunal Supremo de Reino Unido.

El juicio para evaluar el importe exacto de los daños que OHL debía abonar al Gobierno debía

comenzar en 2018, pero este anuncio indica el final de esos procedimientos legales.

Contratados originalmente para abonar 30 millones de libras a OHL por el túnel en 2008, OHL ahora recibirá una suma total no superior a los 24 millones de libras, incluyendo los importes ya abonados.

La reducción en el precio ayudará a compensar al Gobierno de Gibraltar por los costes y gastos incurridos tras la finalización del contrato. Estos incluyen ciertos trabajos realizados directamente por GJBS. OHL ha acordado traer un equipo de trabajo completamente nuevo para trabajar en el proyecto, y ha nombrado a miembros de su división internacional para asegurar la entrega del proyecto de acuerdo con sus obligaciones.

OHL preparará el emplazamiento durante la primera mitad de julio, aunque el comienzo oficial será el 1 de agosto del 2016.

Gibraltar airport tunnel works to resume

T

he Government of Gibraltar has announced that it has finally negotiated a settlement with the contractor Obrascon Huarte Lain SA to complete the tunnel under the eastern end of the runway.

This settlement will avoid further delays by requiring the contractor to complete the tunnel by 30 November 2018 and at a cost close to the original 2008 tender.

OHL originally started work on the project but, after the Gibraltar Government terminated the contract in August 2011, the company commenced proceedings against the Government.

The subsequent extended legal dispute came to an end in July 2015 when the Court of Appeal dismissed an OHL claim on liability and was refused leave to appeal to the UK Supreme Court.

The trial to assess the exact amount of damages to be paid by OHL to the Government was expected to start the year after next, but this announcement signals the end of those legal proceedings.

Having originally contracted to pay OHL £30m for the tunnel in 2008, OHL will now receive a total sum of no more than £24m to include monies already paid.

The reduction in price will help compensate the Gibraltar Government for costs and expenses

The tunnel at the east end of the runway will help reduce traffic congestion during aircraft movements incurred since termination. These include certain works undertaken directly by GJBS. Under the completion contract, OHL has agreed to bring in a completely new team to work on the tunnel project and have appointed members of its international

division to ensure the delivery of the project in accordance with its obligations.

OHL will be setting up on site during the early part of July although official commencement under the completion contract will be 1 August 2016.

Cómo el “abrazo de la vida” salvó la vida de un músico local

How the ‘Hug of Life’ saved a local musician’s life

El músico y presentador de radio local, Pete Black, recientemente se reunió con el hombre que, hace unos años, le salvó la vida.

Pete y su mujer, Anne Marie, fueron a París hace como cinco años para ver a Bruce Springsteen.

De vuelta, se quedaron en un pequeño lugar llamado Roissy, a las afueras del aeropuerto Charles de Gaulle. En su última noche en París, fueron a cenar a un conocido restaurante, y Pete pidió entrecote. Tras unos bocados, empezó a ahogarse con un trozo de grasa. Se dio cuenta de que estaba en peligro y se levantó e intentó que alguien le ayudara. El restaurante estaba lleno de franceses, que miraban sin saber qué estaba pasando.

Comenzó a perder la consciencia rápidamente y todo se volvió blanco.

Afortunadamente para Pete, en la mesa de al lado había un americano, Joe Nansons Palindrani, un Marine veterano de los Estados Unidos que realizó rápidamente la manobra de Heimlich a Pete, salvándole la vida.

Local musician and radio presenter Pete Black, recently enjoyed a reunion with the man who, just a few years ago, saved his life.

Pete and his wife Anne-Marie went to Paris to see Bruce Springsteen about five years ago. On the way back they stayed in a little place called Roissy outside Charles de Gaulle airport. On their last night they went out for a meal at a busy restaurant, and Pete ordered the steak. After just a few mouthfuls he began to choke on a piece of gristle, realising that he was in trouble, he stood up and tried to get somebody to help him. The restaurant was full of French people, who just stared, not understanding his predicament.

He began to lose consciousness really quickly and everything went white.

Fortunately for Pete it turned out that on the next table was an American, Joe Jansons Palindrani, a veteran US Marine who quickly administered the Heimlich Manoeuvre, thus saving his life.

It all could have turned out so much

Las cosas podrían haber salido realmente mal, porque Joe y su mujer Mara solo estaban allí porque el restaurante donde reservaron había hecho una doble reserva, y terminaron cenando al lado de Pete y AnneMarie. Joe le contó a Pete que era la quinta o la sexta vez que salvaba la vida de alguien con este procedimiento.

Viven en California y Pete y Joe permanecieron en contacto desde entonces. El mes pasado se vieron, ya que Joe y su mujer estaban en un crucero por el

Mediterráneo que hacía una parada en Gibraltar.

Aquí no termina la historia, sin embargo. Antes de salir para París, Joe le dijo a Pete que aprendiera la maniobra de Heimlich, y hace un par de años Pete salvó la vida de la hija de un amigo que se estaba ahogando con un juguete de un huevo Kinder. ¿No es increíble?

Además de un RCP básico, todo el mundo debería aprender este sencillo procedimiento con el que puedes salvar la vida de alguien.

worse as Joe and his wife Mara were only there because they had been double booked in another restaurant and thankfully ended up next to Pete and Anne-Marie.

Joe then proceed to tell Pete that this was the fifth or sixth time he had saved someone's life with this procedure.

They live in California and Pete and Joe had stayed in touch ever since, and met up last month when they were on a Mediterranean cruise with a stop off at Gibraltar giving Pete and Anne-Marie the opportunity to see them again.

That is not the end of the story though, before they parted in Paris, Joe had told Pete to learn the Heimlich Manoeuvre and a couple of years ago Pete was called on to save a friend's daughter who was choking on a toy from a Kinder egg. How amazing is that?

So along with basic CPR everyone should learn this simple procedure and you too might save someone’s life.

El Ministro Principal de Gibraltar se reúne con el alcalde de La Línea para hablar de la estrategia para el Brexit El Ministro Principal, Fabián Picardo, y el Viceministro Principal, Joseph García, se han reunido con el alcalde de La Línea, Juan Franco, en el no 6 de Convent Place esta mañana para discutir una estrategia conjunta orientada a evitar las posibles consecuencias negativas del Brexit.

Picardo comentó después que Gibraltar y La Línea tenían unos objetivos comunes: “Debemos garantizar que se mantenga la libre circulación en la frontera y que Gibraltar siga siendo un

motor económico para toda la región, de modo que se respalde el empleo y la prosperidad de los gibraltareños y del resto de residentes de Gibraltar y de la comarca de Campo de Gibraltar que trabajan en el Peñón”.

El alcalde La Línea expresó su satisfacción por la reunión e instó a la comarca de Campo de Gibraltar a mantener la calma porque, tal y como declaró: “El Ministro Principal ha expresado su compromiso de mantener los puestos de trabajo de los trabajadores transfronterizos,

que constituyen una prioridad absoluta”. Juan Franco informó al Ministro Principal de los pasos que se están tomando para garantizar que toda la zona se beneficie de la situación.

Ambos políticos enfatizaron el excelente entendimiento entre ellos, una ayuda en caso de que tengan que reunirse de forma urgente, según proceda. El objetivo común es establecer una estrategia compartida en beneficio mutuo, para lo que volverán a reunirse.

Gibraltar’s Chief Minister holds meeting with La Linea Mayor to discuss Brexit strategy The Chief Minister, the Hon Fabian Picardo QC MP, together with Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia MP, met La Linea Mayor Juan Franco at No. 6 Convent Place recently to discuss a joint strategy to avoid potential negative consequences of Brexit.

Mr Picardo said later that Gibraltar and La Linea shared common objectives: “We must ensure we can guarantee free movement across the frontier and the continuation of

Gibraltar as the economic engine for the whole area to uphold the jobs and prosperity of Gibraltarians, other residents of Gibraltar and of the Campo Area citizens who work on the Rock.”

The Mayor of La Linea expressed his satisfaction over the meeting and asked the Campo Area to remain calm because: “The Chief Minister had expressed the commitment to maintain jobs for frontier workers which were of total priority.” Juan

Franco informed the Chief Minister of the steps being taken to ensure the whole area obtains benefits out of the situation.

Both politicians emphasized the excellent understanding between them which helps when they need to meet urgently as may be required. The common objective is a joint strategy for mutual benefit and they will continue to hold further meetings to work together.

Jellyfish - There’s an app for that InfoMedusa is a mobile application, developed in both iOS and Android, which reports on the activity of jellyfish on the beaches of Malaga.

The increase in jellyfish in recent years on the beaches of the province of Malaga is a concern for both bathers and employers in the tourism sector. This initiative began to take shape in June 2013 and since then has provided information and prevention, including an application for mobile devices, InfoMedusa, which warns users of the presence of these pests, their numbers, variety and potential danger, to avoid stings.

THE RESIDENT Julio - July 2016

El Ayuntamiento solicita a la Consejería de Medio Ambiente una inspección en la Charca de la Paloma y la Charca del Infierno Ante las dudas planteadas por algunos vecinos y visitantes del la zona, desde el Ayuntamiento de Casares se ha requerido a la Consejería de Medio Ambiente que realice un inspección en el cauce del río Manilva para determinar las causas del estado de intensa sequia que afecta a la Charca de la Paloma y la Charca del Infierno.

Muchas han sido las personas que han hecho llegar al Ayuntamiento su extrañeza por la situación de completa sequía que afecta a ambas pozas.

Algunos expertos opinan que la sequía de las charcas se debe a la falta de lluvia, que el nivel de agua decrece más por ser una zona kárstica y que ya ocurrió algo parecido en los años 60s.

Por su parte, otras personas apuntan a malas prácticas humanas como las causantes de esta situación.

En este sentido, el Ayuntamiento aconseja que si alguien tiene alguna evidencia de un mal uso

que esté causando esta sequía, lo ponga en conocimiento de la Concejalía de Medio Ambiente, o lo denuncie a la Junta de Andalucía que tiene las competencias en materia de aguas.

Casares The Town Hall has asked the Ministry of Environment to perform an inspection of the Paloma and Infierno pools Given the concerns raised by some residents and visitors to the area, the Casares town hall has asked the Ministry of Environment to conduct a survey of the course of the Manilva river to determine the causes of the state of severe drought affecting the Paloma and Infierno pools.

Many individuals have expressed their surprise at the situation of complete drought affecting both pools.

Some experts believe that the drought is due to the lack of rain,

the water level decreases more as it is a karstic area and something similar happened in the '60s.

Meanwhile, others point to bad human practices as a possible cause of this situation.

In respect of this the town hall has advised that if anyone has any evidence of misuse causing this drought, it should be brought to the attention of the Department of Environment, or the Junta de Andalucia should be notified, as they are responsible for issues with water.

El Ayuntamiento informa a a Demarcación de Costa y a la Consejería de Cultura sobre actos vandálicos en la Torre de la Sal Con dos escritos enviados a Consejería de Cultura y a Demarcación de Costa, la Concejalía de Cultura de Casares ha puesto en conocimiento a los órganos competentes sobre los daños ocasionados a la Torre de

la Sal por actos vandálicos.

En ambos requerimientos, enviados desde el Ayuntamiento en cuanto se ha tenido noticia de los desperfectos, se pide a ambos órganos que se reparen los daños ocasionados al muro

y a una de las entradas con la máxima urgencia, con objeto de impedir que afecten al resto del monumento.

Aunque la Torre de la Sal pertenece a Ministerio de Hacienda del Estado, Demarcación de Costas de Andalucía Oriental es la responsable de la gestión de esta edificación, al encontrarse en zona de servidumbre marítimo terrestre. Y por tanto, es la entidad que debe acometer la reparación, no obstante, los trabajos deben ser autorizados por la Consejería de Cultura de la Junta de Andalucía al tratarse de un Bien Cultural La Torre de la Sal cuenta con dos alturas, y además tiene la peculiaridad de poseer una planta cuadrada, lo que la diferencia del resto de torres defensivas que nos encontramos a lo largo de la costa.

Aunque de origen nazarí, la edificación fue terminada de construir durante el reinado de Carlos I, en el siglo XVI, y aparece integrada en el sistema oficial de torres de la marina.

La Paloma pool in previous years

Casares informs the Coastal authority and the Ministry of Culture of acts of vandalism at the the Salt Tower Two letters have been sent to the Ministry of Culture and Coastal authority by the Casares Department of Culture informing the bodies of the damage caused to the Torre de la Sal (Salt Tower) by vandals.

It calls on both these organisms to repair the damage to the wall and to one of the entrances with the utmost urgency in order to prevent it affecting the rest of the monument.

Although the Torre de la Sal belongs to the Ministry of State Finance, of the Coastal Authority of Eastern Andalucia is responsible

for managing this building, as it is in a maritime terrestrial zone.

Therefore, this entity should undertake the repair work, however, the work must be authorized by the Andalucian Ministry of Culture as it is a monument of cultural value The Torre de la Sal has two stories, and also has the peculiarity of a square layout, unlike the rest of the defensive towers found along the coast.

Although of Moorish origin, the building was completed during the reign of Charles I, in the sixteenth century, and belongs to the official system of maritime towers.

El Ayuntamiento facilitará el fraccionamiento de la El Ayuntamiento adquiere un deuda a los vecinos afectados por la regularización desfibrilador para uso público de urgencia catastral que realiza el Estado

D

esde el Ayuntamiento de Casares se informa a los vecinos que las escritos que están recibiendo del Catastro están relacionados con la regulación catastral que realiza el Gobierno central, por lo que afectan a todos los municipios españoles.

No obstante, desde el Consistorio se pone a disposición de los vecinos afectados el personal municipal necesario, así como las herramientas disponibles para facilitarles el abono de las deudas requeridas, para lo cual se podría fraccionar el pago de la misma.

Los requerimientos que están recibiendo algunos propietarios de Casares son fruto de la regularización catastral que realiza el Ministerio de Economía y Hacienda en todo el Estado, y se refieren a bienes inmuebles que están inscritos de forma incompleta en el Catastro.

Dichas imposiciones se producen tras la inspección aérea realizada el pasado año, en la que se revisaron todas

las edificaciones del municipio comprobando las alteraciones realizadas a los mismos durante las últimas décadas. Y por tanto, afectan a todos los propietarios que habiendo realizado una modificación, bien ampliando la construcciones o bien reformando la fachada, no la declararan en su momento, como están obligados.

Ya el pasado año durante el inicio de este procedimiento,

Catastro les envió una carta a los propietarios de las edificaciones objeto de revisión, que se vieron obligados a abonar una tasa de regularización de 60 euros, y ahora se está enviando un nuevo comunicado en el que se les requiere abonar los impuestos pertinentes con carácter retroactivo por los años 2013-2016, en caso de haber aumentado el valor de sus edificaciones.

C

Para ubicar el desfibrilador desde el Ayuntamiento se va a construir un habitáculo en el muro de enfrente de la Carnicería de Cosme, que va a estar iluminado y con sistema de alarma, aunque abierto para que pueda se pueda acceder de forma inmediata.

Respecto a la formación, se está organizando un curso para 25 personas, de los que el 50% de las plazas serán para la población en general, un 25 % para hosteleros y comerciantes de la Plaza de España y otro 25% para personal municipal que desarrollen funciones relacionadas con el deporte y el tiempo libre.

The Town Hall acquires a defibrillator for emergency use by the public

Casares to help arrange payment plans for residents affected by state property value revisions asares Council have informed property owners who have received letters from the Ministry of Economy and Finance regarding property valuations applies to all Spanish municipalities.

The revisions are the result of

Teniendo en cuenta que la parada cardíaca por enfermedad coronaria es la causa de fallecimientos más importante entre la población adulta, y los casos ocurridos en los últimos meses en Casares, el Ayuntamiento ha adquirido un desfibrilador que va a instalar en la Plaza de España.

La intención, explica la concejala Rocío Ruiz, es que este reanimador cardiaco pueda ser utilizado por la población en caso de urgencia, para lo que también se va a ofrecer formación para que personas voluntarias aprendan a manejarlo.

aerial surveys last year which have revealed building alterations, improvements and extensions that have not been registered with the Land Registry and as such have increased the Cadastral value of the properties.

Letters have been sent to these

owners demanding a 60 euro fee for the regularization of the properties. Owners of affected properties will also be subject to retroactive payment of applicable taxes for the years 2013 to 2016 as a result of the increased value of the properties.

Llegan a Casares los niños saharauis para pasar unas ‘Vacaciones en Paz Esta mes han llegado 1.230 menores refugiados, procedentes de campamentos de la provincia argelina de Tinduf, que permanecerán hasta finales de agosto en distintas localidades andaluzas.

Cinco de estos niños pasarán el verano en el municipio acogidos por familias casareñas, pudiendo así disfrutar de otras formas distintas de vida a la que

habitualmente llevan en los campamentos donde se encuentran refugiados que en verano hace una temperatura infernal.

Por su parte, las familias de acogida coinciden en señalar que se trata de una experiencia muy enriquecedora, pues a la vez que dan la oportunidad a los niños para que puedan pasar una temporada lejos de las condiciones de vida tan duras que llevan en el desierto, aprenden mucho de sus valores y una forma de vida diferente.

El grupo de 1.230 niños que ha llegado a Andalucía forma parte del total de más de 4.500 niños que pasarán este verano con familias españolas para disfrutar durante el verano de unas Vacaciones en Paz. La Asociación de Amigos del Pueblo Saharaui de Casares, Karama, realiza durante todo el año actividades para recaudar fondos para ayudar a los saharauis refugiados de Tinduf y para costear parte del viaje en avión a los pequeños que pasan sus vacaciones en Casares.

Given that cardiac arrest from coronary heart disease is the leading cause of deaths among the adult population, and the specific cases which have occurred in recent months in Casares, the town hall has acquired a defibrillator that will be installed in the Plaza de España.

The intention is to provide this equipment so it can be used by people in the area in case of an emergency, training in it’s use will be provided to volunteers.

The defibrillator will be housed in a special booth on the wall opposite the Cosme butchers, which will be lit and have an alarm system, although it will be open to allow immediate access.

With regard to training, a course for 25 people is being arranged, of which 50% of places will be for the general population, 25% for hoteliers and merchants of the Plaza España and 25% for local municipal staff carrying out activities related to sport and leisure.

Saharan children arrive in Casares for a 'Holiday in Peace' This month 1,230 refugees from camps in the Algerian province of Tindouf have arrived in Andalucia, and will remain until the end of August.

Five of these children will spend the summer in the town of Casares with local families, enjoying a different way of life to the one they are used to in the refugee camps which reach infernal temperatures during the summer.

The families hosting the children agree that this is a very enriching experience, because while it gives the children the opportunity to spend some time away from the harsh conditions they live with in

the desert, they learn a lot about their values ​​and a different way of life.

The group of 1,230 children who have come to Andalusia is part of the total of over 4,500 children who will spend this summer with Spanish families to enjoy the summer holidays in peace.

The Association of Friends of the Saharan people of Casares, Karama, performs year-round fundraising activities to help Saharan refugees in Tindouf and to fund part of the cost of air travel for the young people who will spend their holidays in Casares.

Situated close to Sotogrande and just 50 kilometers from Marbella, in the heart of the Spanish Costa del Sol, we discover LAS VILLAS at BAHIA DE LAS ROCAS.

L

Post Brexit - Living In Spain Firstly, I should like to reassure my clients and friends that we are an EU licensed IFA firm, not a UK or Gibraltarian firm trading under EU passporting arrangements.

Most of the products we recommend are individually EU compliant based in Dublin, so no change there.

Secondly, until Article 50 has been implemented, we are all still EU citizens and will remain so until negotiations for UK departure have been finalised or at least 2 years from the declaration of intention to leave the EU. Nothing has changed – yet. It will do and exactly how we do not know yet. The British ambassador to Spain and the current Prime Minister for Spain ( at the time of writing one day before the General election!) have assured us all that we need not panic, we have plenty of time to sort our affairs out. Most of us will be fine, we might need a bit more paperwork but Spain are not going to get rid of the many British people who live and work

here, pay taxes and social security here. We contribute too much to the economy, as do the Spaniards that live and work in the UK paying taxes and social security.

For those living in Spain and working in Gibraltar the matter is different and politically complicated. Some companies that passport their businesses into the EU have indicated that they might leave Gibraltar and I know a lot of worried people not knowing if they will have a job in 2 years’ time.

Perhaps you should seriously think about getting your Spanish social security card as I detailed in my article last month.

“Each individual working and paying social security in Gibraltar can elect for those payments to be transferred to their local social security office in Spain”.

THE RESIDENT Julio - July 2016

Comunicado oficial del ayuntamiento a los residentes extranjeros Queremos enviar un mensaje claro a todos los residentes británicos y a los propietarios de segundas residencias que viven en Manilva.

Has convertido a nuestro pueblo en tu hogar y estamos encantados de que estés aquí compartiendo lo mejor que tenemos.

Somos solo un pueblo pequeño en el extremo occidental de la gran región de la Costa del Sol, pero nos gustaría aprovechar esta oportunidad para expresar nuestra enorme gratitud por la contribución cultural, económica y social que haces a nuestra tierra.

Nuestro sentimiento y resolución no cambiará a pesar de los resultados negativos del referéndum Brexit. Hay más de tres mil británicos expatriados registrados como residentes de Manilva de forma permanente, sin contar a los muchos miles que invirtieron aquí de una forma u otra. Todos proporcionáis grandes beneficios a nuestro pueblo, invirtiendo en empresas, comprando casas, pagando impuestos y seguridad social, trabajando y contribuyendo a nuestras vidas

Diego José Jiménez Alcalde de Manilva y Dean Tyler Shelton Concejal y representante de Residentes Extranjeros del Ayuntamiento Manilva. diarias y enriqueciendo nuestra diversidad cultural.

Ahora nos toca a nosotros recoger los pedazos y asegurarnos de que los cambios que puedan llegar sean tan insignificantes como sea posible, aunque esperamos que sean pocos.

Además, es nuestra responsabi-

lidad ayudar a cicatrizar las muchas divisiones que han surgido entre familias, amigos y vecinos durante esta campaña.

Ahora nos gustaría usar una frase común y popular: Ahora es el momento de centrarnos en lo que nos une, en vez de en lo que nos divide.

We would like to send a crystal clear message to every single British resident or second home owner living in Manilva. You have made our town your home and you are more than welcome to be here, sharing the best of what we have. We are only a small town on the western edge of the Costa del Sol Region of Southern Spain but we would like to take this opportunity to express to you our enormous gratitude for the cultural, economical and social contribution you make to our home. Our sentiment and resolution will not change because of the negative result of the Brexit referendum.

There are well over three thousand British expats currently registered as living in Manilva on a permanent basis, and that’s without going into how many thousands are invested

here in one way or another, you all bring huge benefits to our town, investing in businesses, buying homes, paying taxes and social security, working and contributing to our everyday lives and enriching our cultural diversity.

It now falls to us as a community to pick up the pieces and to make sure any changes that may come in time are as painless as possible for you all, whilst hoping there will be few, if any at all. Furthermore it is all of our responsibility to help heal the many divisions that have arisen amongst families, friends and neighbours throughout the whole period of this campaign.

Now we would like to use a common and much used phrase; It’s now time to focus on what unites us, rather than that which divides us.

La fibra óptica en Manilva será una realidad en agosto

Roman Oasis reopens for its 34th year

Uno de los proyectos inmediatos de los que podrá hacer uso la ciudadanía será la fibra óptica en Manilva.

En estos momentos, después de los planteamientos de viabilidad y los requisitos indispensables por parte de la compañía telefónica, Antonio Barragán, concejal de Infraestructura y Obras ha anunciado que en estos momentos el proceso se encuentra en el estudio de detalles.

Este es un paso previo a la licitación de las obras y por lo tanto, a la consecución de las mismas. A partir de aquí se presentarán las ofertas de las distintas empresas del municipio y se decidirá cual es la más conveniente para los intereses municipales.

Al respecto, Barragán manifestó que: "por una parte, introducimos la fibra óptica en Manilva para su uso y por otra, le damos la posibilidad a los empresarios de realizar dicha actuación",

You know when summer has really arrived because The Roman Oasis Restaurant near Sabinillas is open again and this year marks its 34th, which testifies to the success it has achieved. A most unusual restaurant it is indeed which Keith Floyd described admirably, ‘It is one of my favourite places on the glittering, but slightly tarnished, Costa del Sol. It is without doubt the most eccentric and amusing venue on the coast. There is Paul Hickling, proprietor extraordinaire, there are the parrots, and there are the most wonderful staff. The food is simple, plentiful and pleasing, the music is great, the drinks are fine.’

apuntó.

Cabe recordar que la fibra óptica es un medio de transmisión, empleado habitualmente en redes de datos y telecomunicaciones, consiste en un hilo muy fino de material transparente, vidrio o materiales plásticos, por el que se envían pulsos de luz que representan los datos a transmitir.

Una vez finalizado todo el proceso burocrático, la obra tiene un plazo de ejecución de unos diez días aproximadamente, por lo que se espera que a comienzos de agosto ya está disponible.

Además de introducir la fibra óptica, el tramo, que va desde el instituto de Las Viñas hacia el Peñoncillo dirección Manilva contará con un acerado.

Fibre optic broadband soon to be available in Manilva

O

ne of the ongoing projects in Manilva will soon make fibre optic broadband available to residents.

After studying feasibility and the telephone company’s prerequisites, councillor Antonio Barragan has announced that the process is now in it’s final stage.

The next step will see the works put out to tender and then completed. From here offers from different

companies in the municipality will be presented and the town hall will decide which is most suitable for municipal interests.

Optical fibre is a means of communication, habitually used in data networks and telecommunications, consisting of a very fine line of transparent material, glass or plastic, which uses light pulses to represent the data which is being transmitted.

Go for the Gladiatehere Buffet which consists of soups, 25 starters and a great choice of meats from the barbecue or choose the Á La Carte menu served to your table. Then there’s home made desserts and an amazing choice of 100 ports from 1910 plus Stilton cheese. The atmosphere is amazing, the service and attention to detail is faultless. So if you want a romantic night dining under the stars then try something completely different, head to Sabinillas, turn inland at Lidl’s and go three kilometres. Open every evening from 7.30. www.romanoasis.com Tel. 952 892 380.

Once the bureaucratic process has been completed, it will take about ten days for the project to be executed and it is estimated that by early August fibre optic will be available for everyone.

In addition to the introduction of fiber optics, the section from the Las Viñas secondary school towards the Manilva Peñoncillo will be paved.

El Roman Oasis abre sus puertas para la temporada, la que será su nº 34

Sabes que el verano ha llegado realmente porque el Restaurante The Roman Oasis cerca de Sabinillas abre sus puertas. Este año será el nº 34, lo que testifica el éxito que ha conseguido.

Desde luego es un restaurante de lo más inusual. Keith Floyd lo describió de forma admirable: “es uno de mis lugares favoritos de la centelleante pero algo empañada Costa del Sol. Sin duda, el lugar más excéntrico y divertido de la Costa. Está Paul Hickling, propietario extraordinario, hay loros, y el personal más maravilloso. La comida es sencilla, abundante y agradable, la música es genial y las bebidas están muy bien.”

Prueba el Buffet del Gladiador, que consta de sopas, 25 entrantes y una gran gama de carnes de la barbacoa, o si lo prefieres, come a la carta, con un menú que servirán en tu mesa. Los postres son caseros y tienen una increíble selección de 100 oportos desde el 1910 y queso Stilton. El ambiente es increíble, el servicio y la atención al detalle, perfectos. Si te apetece una cena romántica bajo las estrellas, prueba algo completamente diferente. Dirígete a Sabinillas, gira hacia el interior en Lidl y sigue durante tres kilómetros.

Abren cada noche desde las 19:30. www.romanoasis.com.

Manilva prepara la celebración de la Virgen del Carmen La Virgen del Carmen en Manilva tiene una doble celebración en sus núcleos urbanos marítimos: Sabinillas y el Castillo.

El día central de la festividad, el jueves 16, los actos empezarán en Sabinillas con la celebración de la Santa Misa a las 12.00 horas.

A las 19.00 horas la imagen de la Virgen del Carmen será trasladada hasta las playas de Sabinillas para ser embarcada y comenzar su recorrido por el mar.

Por su parte en el núcleo del Castillo, en donde la Virgen es patrona, la celebración de la Santa Misa tendrá lugar a 18.00 horas pero minutos antes se realizará la imposición de medallas a los

nuevos hermanos de la cofradía.

Tras la misa, la imagen será procesionada por la calle Cristóbal Morales hasta el Puerto de la Duquesa, dónde será embarcada para proceder a su recorrido marítimo.

Al finalizar, la Virgen del Carmen volverá a la Iglesia del Castillo por el nuevo paseo marítimo que comunica el Puerto de la Duquesa con este núcleo de pescadores. La encargada de acompañar a esta imagen será la Banda Municipal de Música de Manilva. Después de que la imagen esté de nuevo en su templo, al igual que en Sabinillas, una orquesta pondrá música a la verbena.

Manilva's fishermen prepare to celebrate their patron the Virgen del Carmen Saturday, July 16 is the celebration of the Virgen del Carmen, the Patron Saint of fishermen and sailors.

Tradition has it that the Carmelite monks, who inhabited the slopes of Mount Carmel and worshipped the Virgin Mary who had appeared there in a vision, were forced to flee by a Saracen invasion force. During this eviction the Virgin appeared to them again and promised to be their ‘Star of the Sea’ and to guide them to safety.

Since then she has been the patron saint of mariners and, as such, the Virgen del Carmen is revered amongst the local fishing communities of southern Spain .

Virgen del Carmen is celebrated by the fishing communities in Sabinillas and Castillo. The Virgen del Carmen is Castillo de la Duquesa’s Patron Saint and on her feast day, 16th July, her images are placed on board the local fishing boats in two separate ceremonies: the first off the beach at Sabinillas amongst much pomp and ceremony (this can be quite a ‘hairy’ operation, especially if the sea is a bit lively); and the second in the Port of Duquesa. The two boats bearing the Virgens, along with with a flotilla of fishing and pleasure craft, then parade up and down the coast from the Salt Tower on Casares Costa to Punta Chullera before disembarking in Sabinillas and the marina at

Puerto de la Duquesa to be borne back to her place of honour in the churches at Sabinillas and Castillo respectively.

If the sea is too rough, particularly during strong easterly winds, the Sabinillas ‘Virgen’ will be paraded along the beach rather than taken to sea and the Castillo ‘Virgen’ will remain in Duquesa Port.

Programme 2016 Castillo 6.00 pm – A mass will be held at the parrish church in Castillo after which the procession will proceed to Duquesa where the Virgen will be placed on the chosen boat and then paraded up and down the coast accompanied by the rest of the ‘fleet’.

10 pm – Live music in Castillo with Orquesta Kalima until the early hours of the morning.

Sabinillas 12 noon – A mass will be held in the ‘Fishermen’s Square’ in Sabinillas.

Later in the afternoon at around 7.30 to 8 pm (ish) the statue of the Virgen will be carried to the beach in Sabinillas where it is placed on a fishing boat.

From 10 pm there will be entertainment by Orquesta Latidos with music and dancing into the early hours of the morning.

El servicio de autobús urbano se amplía Healy Mac’s - the best Irish Pub con una nueva línea hacia la zona oeste del outside of Ireland municipio In March 2016, Healy Mac’s Irish Bar and

El Ayuntamiento de Estepona informa de que la empresa concesionaria del servicio de transporte público, Autocares Ricardo, va a ampliar el servicio de transporte con una nueva línea que conectará el casco urbano con la zona oeste del término municipal. El servicio estará operativo desde ahora y hasta el 31 de julio, llegada esta fecha se estudiará si se prolonga el servicio durante el mes de agosto.

Durante este periodo, la empresa tendrá en funcionamiento tres líneas de transporte público. La línea 1 transcurre por el núcleo urbano de Estepona en un recorrido circular; la línea 2 sale del Puerto y llega a la urbanización Mar y Monte en Isdabe y, por último, la línea 3, que saldrá de la estación de autobuses y llegará hasta la urbanización Bermuda Beach, en la zona de Buenas Noches.

La ampliación de la cobertura de este servicio permitirá cubrir, por tanto, la demanda que existe en verano para acceder a la zona de las urbanizaciones y hoteles de la parte oeste del municipio.

El horario de esta tercera línea será cada hora en punto desde las 9.00 horas de la mañana hasta las 14.00 horas y desde las 17.00 hasta las 19.00 horas de la tarde de lunes a domingo.

El precio de los billetes para las líneas que cubren el extrarradio será de 1,40 euros desde Bermuda Beach al Palacio de Congresos y de 1,10 euros desde el hotel H10 hasta el Palacio de Congresos. Por su parte, los billetes de la línea circular que recorre el núcleo urbano tienen un precio de 1,10 euros y de 0,60 si se utiliza el bono. Para los jubilados que hagan uso del bono el billete costará 0,50 euros. Los autobuses están adaptados a las personas con movilidad reducida y poseen plazas sentadas y de pie.

El Ayuntamiento retomó en 2012 la puesta en funcionamiento del servicio de autobús urbano, ya que se carecía del mismo después de que la anterior concesionaria dejara de prestarlo por los impagos del anterior equipo de gobierno.

The local bus service is extended with a new line covering the western area of town The Estepona town hall has stated that the public transport concessionaire, Ricardo Coaches, will extend the public service with a new line that will connect the town center with the western part of the municipality. The service will be operational from now until July 31, at which time the company will consider whether the service needs to be provided during the month of August.

During this period, the company will operate three lines of public transport. Line 1 runs through the town of Estepona on a circular route; Line 2 leaves the port and reaches the Mar y Monte urbanization in Isdabe and finally, line 3 will set off from the bus station and reach the Bermuda Beach development, in the Buenas Noches area.

Expanding the coverage of this service will cover the demand in summer for access to the area of ​​housing estates and hotels

in the western part of the municipality. The timetable for the third line will be every hour from 9 am to 2 pm and from 5 pm to 7 pm from Monday to Sunday.

The price of tickets for lines covering the urbanisations will be 1.40 euros from Bermuda Beach to the Palacio de Congresos and 1.10 euros from the H10 Hotel to the Palacio de Congresos. Meanwhile, the circular line that runs through the town center will be 1.10 euros and 0.60 if a token is used.

Tokens are available for retirees bringing the cost down to 0.50 euros. All the buses are adapted for people with reduced mobility and have sitting and standing places.

The town hall resumed the commissioning of the urban bus service in 2012, after the previous concessionaire stopped providing it due to the former government team’s failure to make payments.

Restaurant opened its doors on The Marina, Estepona in Spain’s Costa del Sol. Renowned for its stunning beaches, which stretch along some 21km of coastline, Estepona is a picturesque town in the province of Malaga and a hugely-popular year-round holiday destination. Overlooking the water at the Marina, Healy Mac’s in Estepona is the ninth outlet in the famed international chain and the newest addition to the chain quickly became a favourite with visitors to the area and locals alike.

The previous summer, the first Healy Mac’s Irish Bar and Restaurant outside Asia opened its doors at Breaffy House Resort, Castlebar, Co Mayo, Ireland. It was a homecoming of sorts for the multi-awardwinning international chain, as the company was established by Mayo’s very own Liam Healy.

A native of Glenamoy in North Mayo, Liam opened his first Healy Mac’s Irish Bar and Restaurant in the bustling area of Changkat in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2008. Since then, the Healy Mac’s chain has continued to blossom, with the chain now boasting six outlets in Malaysia, one in Indonesia, one in Ireland and one in Spain.

With nine Healy Mac’s outlets now in operation in Malaysia, Indonesia, Ireland and Spain, the chain prides itself on excellent food, drink, atmosphere and customer service. Healy Mac’s has picked up myriad awards over the years and the business continues to go from strength-to-strength in Malaysia, Indonesia, Ireland and Spain.

MANILVA SOLICITORS

THE RESIDENT Julio - July 2016

TRAMITACIÓN DE UNA HERENCIA EN ESPAÑA

A continuación relatamos los trámites a seguir en la tramitación de una herencia en España pero tenga en cuenta que es solo un resumen y para su adecuada tramitación será necesaria la intervención de un abogado especializado.

1. En primer lugar será imprescindible obtener el certificado de defunción.

En caso de tratarse de personas extranjeras que han fallecido en su país de origen y tienen bienes en España dicho certificado se obtendrá en el lugar de fallecimiento y deberá ser apostillado y traducido para ser utilizado en España.

2. Sin dicho documento, que es el único que justifica oficialmente que tu familiar ha fallecido no puedes tramitar su herencia.

3. En segundo lugar, y una vez pasados los 15 días hábiles desde el fallecimiento (sin contar sábados, domingos y festivos), habrá que obtener el certificado de últimas voluntades y, en

caso de ser necesario, certificado de contratos y seguros.

4. El primero es necesario para saber si el fallecido ha otorgado testamento y ante que notario lo ha hecho y el segundo si el fallecido tenia algún seguro contratado que prevea alguna indemnización por su fallecimiento.

5. Para obtener estos certificados será necesario presentar el certificado de defunción, rellenar un impreso oficial y presentar el justificante de pago de la tasa (actualmente 3,60 euros cada certificado).

Esos certificados los expiden en el acto.

6. Obtener copia autorizada del testamento. Sabiendo cual es el notario ante el que se hizo el último testamento, habrá que acudir a su notaria y solicitar una copia autorizada del testamento.

Esta copia la puede solicitar un interesado en la herencia

Jose M. Lopez-Avalos Tel. (00 34) 952 901 225 | Fax.(00 34) 952 901 226 | www.manilvasolicitors.com

(un heredero o legatario) o bien un representante del interesado median poder suficiente.

7. Hacer un inventario de bienes y deudas a heredar.

El siguiente paso es localizar todos los bienes que tenía el fallecido en España y recolectar toda la documentación relativa a los mismos. Estos bienes posteriormente deberán ser valorados a efectos de hacer el reparto y a efectos del impuesto.

8. Firma de escritura pública de adjudicación de herencia.

En la escritura se recogen quienes son los herederos, el inventario de los bienes y deudas, y las adjudicaciones de cada heredero.

9. Pago de impuestos. Los impuestos a pagar en caso de que entre los bienes heredados exista un inmueble son dos: a. Impuesto de sucesiones. (Respecto a la cuantía a pagar por el impuesto de sucesiones así como las reducciones aplicables nos remitimos a otro artículo nuestro). b. El impuesto sobre incremento de valor de los terrenos de naturaleza urbana conocido como “plusvalía municipal” Ambos impuestos han de pagarse en un plazo de 6 meses desde el día de fallecimiento.

Además de los gastos ya mencionados la herencia genera también gastos de notaria y registro cuya cantidad es muy variable dado que depende de muchos factores como por ejemplo la cantidad de documentación o la cantidad de los bienes y su valor.

A todo ello hay que sumar los honorarios de un buen abogado ya que en ningún caso aconsejamos enfrentarse a este procedimiento si la asistencia de un profesional cualificado.

THE PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW WHEN CLAIMING AN INHERITANCE IN SPAIN In this article we explain the procedures to follow when handling an inheritance in Spain. However, it is important to note that this is only a summary of the salient points, and to ensure the correct procedure is followed the intervention of a specialized attorney is necessary.

1. First it is essential to obtain the death certificate from the country where the person died. In the case of foreigners who have died in their country of origin and have assets in Spain the Death Certificate would be obtained there and then should be translated into Spanish and an “Apostille” (an official stamp), should be acquired to make it valid for use in Spain.

Without this document, which is the only official proof of death, the heirs will not be able to process the inheritance.

2. Secondly, after 15 working days from the death (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), The Certificate of Wills and, where necessary, The Contracts and Insurance certificate must be acquired.

The first is necessary to confirm whether or not a will has been signed by the deceased, and the second as proof of any insurance contracts that provide compensation for the death.

In order to obtain these certificates it would be necessary to present the Death Certificate, fill out an official application form and provide proof of payment of the fee (currently 3.60€ for each certificate).

These certificates are issued on the spot.

3. Get a certified copy of the will. Once you have found out which Notary signed the Last Will and Testament of the deceased you would need to apply for a Certified Copy of the will from that Notary This can only be applied for by a person directly mentioned in the document, (an heir or legatee), or with a Power of Attorney, by a legal representative of any interested party.

4. Make an inventory of assets and debts to inherit. The next step is to locate all assets held by the deceased in Spain and collect all documentation relating thereto. These assets must be valued later in order distribute them as requested by the deceased and then for tax purposes.

5. Signature of award deed of inheritance. This is done in writing naming who are the heirs, specifying the inventory of assets and debts, and listing what is awarded to each heir.

6. Payment of taxes. There are two tax liabilities if a property is part of the inheritance: a. Inheritance Tax. (We detailed the amounts payable and the reductions in a previous article) other article). b. The tax increase in value of urban land known as “municipal capital gain”(Plus Valia) Both taxes should be paid within 6 months from the date of death.

In addition to the aforementioned costs inheritance also generates notary fees and registration fees which are highly variable since they depend on many factors such as the number of documents or the amount of goods and their value.

To this you should add Lawyers fees, as this complicated procedure would definitely require the assistance of a qualified professional.

For further advice on this matter or others related to this, please contact Denise Molony on mob. 669 428 998, or contact us by e-mail on mail@manilvasolicitors.com or by tel. 952 901 225. The meeting with our lawyers is totally free.

El Consistorio ha comprobado que la inmensa mayoría de turistas que visitan la ciudad se dirigen al casco antiguo, ya que con el proyecto de remodelación y embellecimiento integral, se

Estepona improves tourist information with the unification of offices in the town centre Estepona Town Council is to amalgamate town’s tourist information offices with the improved facilities located in the central Plaza de Las Flores.

Visitor figures have revealed that the vast majority of tourists visiting Estepona head to the historic town centre which, thanks to the improvements and embellishments, has become the main focus of attraction. This has resulted in the tourist office located opposite Estepona Port receives relatively few visitors.

Statistics show that visitors start their visits in the historic centre,

ha consolidado como el principal foco de atracción. Esto ha supuesto que las instalaciones situadas en el Puerto Deportivo apenas reciban afluencia.

El Ayuntamiento dispone de datos y estadísticas que certifican que los visitantes comienzan a disfrutar de sus vacaciones en el centro histórico, por lo que se ha apostado por mejorar la atención en el punto en el que tienen la primera toma de contacto con la ciudad. A ese respecto, ha indicado que la Oficina de Turismo contará, a partir de ahora, con

el personal de las instalaciones del Puerto Deportivo, de manera que los usuarios serán mejor atendidos cuando soliciten información o ayuda.

Por otra parte, se ha apostado por centralizar este servicio en la plaza de Las Flores porque, además de su situación privilegiada en el centro histórico, se encuentra próxima a otros espacios de interés turístico como el Parque Botánico-Orquidario, la playa de La Rada, o algunas de las obras que forman parte de la Ruta de Murales Artísticos.

so it has been decided to improve attention at the point where they have the first contact with the town. The town centre Tourist Office will, from now on, house the staff from the Estepona Port office, so that users will be better served when requesting information or assistance.

Another reason to centralize this service in the Plaza de Las Flores is due to its location in the historical centre, close to other places of interest such as the Orchid House, Botanica Park, La Rada Beach and various works on the Poetry Route and the Route of Artistic murals.

CHIRINGUITOS

THE RESIDENT Julio - July 2016

Es verano, es el momento de disfrutar de los chiringuitos Nada es más típico del verano español en la Costa del Sol que una visita a uno de los muchos chiringuitos que llenan la cista. Las playas de Manilva cuentan con gran cantidad de estos establecimientos tan tradicionales, desde el más rústico a los más elegantes. No hay nada igual a sentarse en la terraza, observando las preciosas arenas y el brillo del Mediterráneo, escuchando música en vivo o simplemente el sonido de las olas rompiendo en la orilla, con el olor de la maravillosa comida fresca que sale de la barbacoa, y una bebida bien fría.

Muchos puristas se han opuesto a los recientes edictos del Ministerio de Costas que requieren que todos los chiringuitos se muevan al borde de las playas, y las anteriores

construcciones tipo choza han sido demolidas para crear estructuras más permanentes, perdiendo así parte de su carácter tradicional.

El lado positivo es que muchos chiringuitos permanecen abiertos durante más tiempo, incluso todo el año.

If it’s summer it’s Chiringuito Time Nothing typifies the Spanish summer on the Costa del Sol more than a visit to one of the many beach bar/restaurants, chiringuitos, to be found along the coast. Manilva’s beaches have no shortage of these traditional hostelries, ranging from the distinctly rustic to the more upmarket and everything in between. There is nothing quite like sitting on the terrace gazing across the beautiful sands to the shimmering Mediterranean listening to live music or just the sound of the waves lapping on the sure, with the smell of wonderful fresh seafood wafting from the barbecue, and a nice cold drink to set it all off.

Many purists have objected to the

Coastal Ministry’s recent edicts requiring all chiringuitos be moved to the edge of the beaches and the previous ramshackle constructions have been demolished to make way for new, more permanent

structures, with a loss of some of the traditional character. The upside to this though is that many chiringuitos have extended their opening season, with some remaining open all-year-round.

Todo sucede en la playa A medida que las actividades durante el día se mueven a la playa en el verano, tiene sentido que el entretenimiento y otras actividades como salir a comer o cenar también se realicen allí, y aquí los chiringuitos son protagonistas.

Puedes disfrutar de una buena comida de pescado fresco, o relajarte con una bebida fría, viendo el mundo pasar, sintiendo la brisa marina que nos alivia del calor del verano.

Muchos chiringuitos ofrecen animación, ya sea con un DJ tocando lo último en música o con una banda en directo que toca tus canciones favoritas, bailes flamencos o música de fondo: hay algo para todos en el chiringuito.

Este mes se celebra Virgen del Carmen.

It’s all happening on the beach As the focus of daytime activities shifts to the beach during the summer, then it makes sense that dining and entertainment should follow suit, and this is where the chiringuitos come into their own.

You can enjoy a good meal of fresh seafood, or just sit back with a cool drink, relax and watch the world go by, often cooled by a pleasant sea breeze providing relief from the summer heat.

Many chiringuitos provide entertainment, whether a DJ playing the latest funky sounds, a live band playing some of your favourite songs, flamenco dancing, or just some pleasant background music, there is something for everyone down at the beach bar.

This month sees the celebration of Virgen del Carmen, the annual

celebration by the local fishermen of their patron saint.

The festivities are held in Sabinillas and Castillo with religious services

followed by processions and finally live music in both Sabinillas and Castillo going on into the early hours of the morning.

Grilled Sardines - the taste of the Costa del Sol There is nothing more evocative of a Spanish summer than the smell of sardines being slowly grilled over an open wood fire on the beach. Nothing else even comes close.....

The combination of heat, the

sea air, the smoke from the olive wood fire and the salted sardine being slowly grilled to perfection. A smell that is omnipresent on most beaches in and around the Costa del Sol. Even the sound is captivating,

the slow spitting of the fish oil, the cracking of the wood, the continual stoking of the wood embers and, of course, the conversation that invariably goes with it.

The humble sardine is the unwitting star of many a Spanish summer.

Llega su momento

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera

Polen de astro Bajo al jardín para buscar el color y la fragancia que llenen mi alma.

Blanco horizonte, en su trigo de cielo hablando a la tierra.

Encuentro allí a los gatos jugando en el níspero, la luz del sol sobre ellos hacen que brillen intensamente, un negro nunca absoluto que me parece hermoso y joven reflejado en los felinos.

Me siento sobre una roca que hay junto al arriate, descanso, medito, pienso, he tocado mi frente con mis dedos y un perro, infante de su pecho, cartón y hueco en el mundo, ladra seguro de su misión; me iluminan los rayos del sol, ya no recuerdo lo que he venido a buscar, a pensar, a orar, a vivir, pues el color y la fragancia son absorbidos por la luz y mi alma que es también flor y color ahora es polen de astro.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “Al atardecer el horizonte vierte esperanzas”

La Abuela en la Ciudad Abuela, estás ahí, ahí mismo, en la esquina, vendiendo tabaco.

El buen cigarro rubio –dices, y luego acordándote de tu Pedro–: y el buen cigarro negro, original de los mejores prados de la noche.

Por un cigarro un sueño de humo.

Podrían ser más buenos... –rompes en pequeñas carcajadas, pensando en voz alta–. Y en un aleteo de mejillas se desperdigan las cenizas de uno de los cigarros y dices alzando la voz: Muchachos, galanes de la pipa, que también tengo breva y un librillo de América.

Jóvenes de boquilla y pitillera, que tengo un narguile con perfume de la India; que vendo el tabaco más duro o más dulce de la ciudad entera; llevo tabaco azul incitador del cielo, y qué saben las venas de vientos mareros el humo que las llevan.

Espigas en el azul (1977-1983)

Llega un momento para nacer y otro para morir, para reunirnos con los seres queridos.

Ese anciano ve a la muerte como a una amiga, la carroza vieja de la noche se lleva ahora a su mujer y no parece inmutarse porque es por dentro donde se derraman lágrimas del alma.

(Ahora se queda solo.

No quiere ser una carga para nadie).

Llega un momento para el hombre que lo más importante es el calor de su familia; lo que poseyó se desgrana, pero donde hubo, hay y habrá.

Ya dejó de ladrar el perro del labrador porque se han ido a otra viña las ovejas. Él aprendió de la tierra el monólogo del sembrado: lo que muere resucita, la tierra lo devuelve en su semilla de fe.

Su esposa se fue con súbita caída a cielos imaginados, o tan reales,

a las casonas de los santos para hacer, si ellos quieren, su pan de horno; aquí, cuántas veces cocinó a sus hermanos, cuántos pantalones zurcidos, húmedos de rocío, bebedor de glosario de nubes.

El viejo la despide, y recuerda cuántas veces su esposa besó la foto de su madre, que un día la dejó tan joven, ahora se unirá a ella por fin y velará como un ángel por los suyos.

El anciano derrama lágrimas, sus hijos no quieren verlo llorar, y ellos, junto a él, aunque soportan el dolor, también derraman lágrimas.

El abuelo se irá a vivir con sus hijas, ahora la paz y el amor es lo más necesario para él, llegado este momento de su vida.

Rock Hard Caddie

The Rise and Fall of Cal Capone Cal Capone, the name by which Calum McGregor became known in his wilder days in Cape Town South Africa, was a name that stuck with him as he travelled the world, from Greece to Denmark and the United Kingdom, getting involved in numerous business ventures, some legal, others less so.

Growing up during apartheid South Africa in a rich suburb in Cape Town to arriving penniless on the streets of Copenhagen. Throughout the book he talks about his constant and sometimes extreme obsession with drugs and alcohol to which he always succumbed, even when his life, both business and personal, was going well. It was this that ensured that his early business successes, together with virtually all his relationships with women, were destined to fail.

His substance abuse also played a major role in his seeking jobs that gave an outlet to the aggression that characterised these years resulting in being a witness, if not a participant, in extremely violent events.

The constant theme in this book, and indeed in the second in the series, is the important role played by golf in lifting the writer out of despair at pivotal moments. Playing golf demanded a discipline that diverted his attention from the destructive

hedonism which characterised his daily life and without this diversion, the downward trajectory of his life would no doubt have continued unabated with potentially devastating consequences for him and those around him.

The second book in the series, Pharmaceuticals to Fairways, deals with the later period where he desperately seeks to recover from his drug and alcohol dependency, together with the attendant periods of deep, often suicidal periods of depression. It will serve as an inspiration to those who are, or have been, on the same journey from despair, showing that even at the darkest times, circumstances, and more importantly individuals, can help turn things around ending in a series of events that could not have been imagined only a few years previously.

Calum is now The Resident's sports correspondent. See pages 43 to 47 in this issue.

Homage to Al-Andalus: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain

by Michael B. Barry

The Iberian Peninsula was conquered by Islamic forces in 711 AD and the Islamic presence continued in this part of Europe for 900 years.

This presence left an indelible stamp in Spain and Portugal, like the wonders of the Alhambra and the Great Mosque of Córdoba. Its legacy also extends to the rich seam of learning, in science, medicine, literature and philosophy that was later transmitted to the rest of Europe.

How did all this come about? In this engaging book Michael Barry tells the story of al-Andalus, its rise to splendour and sophistication and its decline. Richly illustrated with outstanding photographs, it shows the achievements of this extraordinary time. Written in an accessible form, this book sets out the fascinating events from the conquest up to the final expulsion of the people of al-Andalus from Spain, a tale which has resonance with events happening today.

It is a book which is essential for those interested in history, for those who want to know this absorbing story and for those who wish to travel in Spain and experience the remarkable legacy of alAndalus.’

HEALTH AND FITNESS

THE RESIDENT Julio - July 2016

¿Cuál es el plan de entrenamiento perfecto?

A menudo la gente me pregunta, ¿cuál es la mejor dieta o programa de ejercicio que crees que me va a ayudar a perder el mayor peso? ¿Es Insanity, yoga de fuerza, entrenar para una maratón o Crossfit? Es la mejor dieta Atkins, 5:2, el Paleo o debería hacerme vegetariano?

Saludable

El objetivo es no envejecer el cuerpo prematuramente, ya sea por comer / beber porquerías, no hacer el ejercicio físico suficiente o incluso por sobreentrenar; sé responsable de lo que comes y lo que haces. Trata de que tu médico de cabecera te dé un certificado de buena salud en cada chequeo. Ajusta tu programa si es necesario para que sea el perfecto para tí, pero no renuncies por completo porque eso siempre garantiza el fracaso.

En mi opinión, el mejor entrenamiento o dieta es: ¡Uno que sea alcanzable para tí!

Incluso con el mejor entrenador, un gran plan de entrenamiento y régimen dietético, si no lo sigues, está destinada al fracaso. No hay atajos para una figura más delgada, más fuerte, más en forma y saludable.

La mayoría de los programas requieren un mínimo de 60 días de compromiso, si eso es lo que hace falta, comprométete a seguirlo durante esos 60 días, si no puedes comprometerte entonces las posibilidades son, independientemente de lo bueno que sea la dieta o el programa, que será destinada al fracaso.

Me encantan los ejercicios basados ​​en intensidad, soy muy consciente del tiempo y creo que se puede obtener un entrenamiento bastante amplio, que va a construir músculo, quemar grasa y mejorar su sistema cardiovascular, sin pasar horas en el gimnasio. Pero no estoy diciendo que ésta sea la única manera de entrenar.

Siempre hago una pregunta, ¿cómo quiere verse desnudo?

El cuerpo estético de un corredor de larga distancia será diferente de un culturista, lo mismo que una bailarina de ballet en comparación con un jugador de tenis.

No sólo se ven diferentes, pero sus planes de entrenamiento serán diferentes y también sus planes de alimentación, así que ¿cómo de dedicado está a cambiar su imagen? Cuanto mayor sea el compromiso, más grandes serán los resultados.

Durante los últimos 25 años he ayudado a muchas personas a alcanzar sus objetivos de fitness y estilo de vida; la razón principal de su éxito se debe a la fijación

Sentirse bien y lucirse bien desnudo Estar cómodo en tu propia piel, tener confianza y no mantener una opinión negativa de tí mismo, Pregúntate: ¿Me veo mejor?,¿ Me siento mejor?,¿Soy feliz?

de metas.

Les ayudo a establecer metas realistas, desde una media maratón, 10 pull ups perfectos a perder 5 kg de grasa - para que alcancen sus objetivos creo que deberían pedirse recordar estas declaraciones.

Felicidad

Disfruta de cualquier tipo de entrenamiento que hagas, sé feliz con tu elección de alimentos y despierta con una sonrisa en tu cara cada día. Si no estás satisfecho pregúntate, por qué? ¿Estás engañándote en el programa, que establece metas demasiado altas? ¿Estás entrenando demasiado duro? Si es así, reevalúa y haz cambios, no te des por vencido.

What is the perfect training plan?

People frequently ask me, what is the best diet or which workout do you think will help me lose the most weight?

Is it Insanity, Yoga strength, training for a marathon or Crossfit? Is the best diet The Atkins, 5 and 2, the Paleo or turning vegan?

In my opinion, The BEST workout or diet is one that you actually follow through with!

Even with the best coach, a great training plan, a specific dietary plan, if you don’t stick with it then it is destined to fail. There are no short cuts to a healthier, leaner, stronger, fitter body. Most programs require the minimum of a 60 day commitment, if that was is needed, then commit to 60 days, if you can’t commit then the chances are no matter how good the diet or program , it will be destined to fail.

I love intensity based workouts, I am very time conscious and believe that you can deliver a pretty comprehensive workout, which will grow muscle, burn off fat and improve your CV without spending hours in the gym. BUT I am not saying it’s the only way to train.

I always ask the question, how do you want to look naked?

The aesthetic body of a long distance runner will be different from a body builder, much the same a ballet dancer to a tennis player.

Not only will they look different, but their training plan will be different too and so will their eating plan, so how committed are you to changing how you look? The bigger the commitment the bigger the changes will be.

Over the last 25 years I have helped many people achieve

their fitness and lifestyle goals; the main reason for their success is down to goal setting.

By helping them set realistic goals, whether it is run half a marathon, perfect 10 strict pull ups or to lose 5k of fat – for their goals to be achieved I believe that they should ask themselves to remember these statements.

Happiness

Enjoy whatever training you do, be happy with your food choices and wake up with a smile on your face each day. If you are unhappy ask yourself why? Are you cheating on the program, have you set your goals to high? Are you trying too hard? Evaluate and make changes accordingly, just don’t quit.

Si es así, enhorabuena y mantente así!

Si no es así, aprende de tus fracasos, asimila estas lecciones y toma una decisión informada sobre cómo avanzar.

La mayoría de los programas decentes producirán resultados positivos si los sigues, no te rindas ante el primer obstáculo difícil.

Recuerda, no entrenes más, entrena más inteligente!

Si tiene preguntas relacionadas con este artículo o sobre la forma física en general, por favor, ponte en contacto con jojofrance_69@hotmail.com o llame al 687 030 047 Recuerde consultar con su médico de cabecera antes de comenzar cualquier nuevo régimen de ejercicio o dieta.

Healthy

Aim not to pre-age your body, either by eating/drinking crap, under training or even over training; be responsible for what you eat and what you do. Aim for your GP to give you a clean bill of health on every check-up. Tweaking your program may be necessary to make it the perfect one for you but for certain giving up completely will never work.

Feel great and look good naked Be comfortable in your own skin, have confidence and don’t hold a negative opinion of yourself, Ask yourself, Am I looking better, Am I feeling better, Am I happy?

If so, Well done and keep at it!

If not, learn where things went wrong, take these lessons and make an informed lesson to move forward. Most decent programs will produce positive results if you stick at it, don’t give up at the first challenging hurdle.

Remember, train wiser, not longer!

The A-Z of Knee Pain - Part Two Introduction

Following on from last month’s article, Bodyworks Health Clinic presents the second of the two-part A to Z of Knee Pain.

We think you’ll find it both interesting and useful.

The knee is the largest joint in the body and one of the most complex, making it a very vulnerable joint! It is made up of 4 bones, more than 20 muscles each with a tendon, 4 major ligaments as well as many little ones, and at least 3 layers of cartilage.

Orthotics

Modern computerised corrective insoles are slim and discreet enough to fit in everyday shoes and are a major tool to prevent knee problems.

Physical Therapy

American research shows that exercise significantly improves movement and reduces pain in the knee. The 1st muscle to lose strength in any knee problem is the quadriceps so focus on these. Exercise is not easy at first but get advice and persevere! Stretch and strengthen!

Q Angle Correction:

The angle formed by your thighbone and shinbone through the knee cap when viewed from the front. If you are knockkneed or bandy-legged this angle is wrong, putting extra pressure on the knee. The right shoes and arch supports can reduce the risk of joint damage.

Referred Pain

X-rays

Supports

Yucca

Getting an accurate diagnosis is critically important! Pain in the knee can be referred from the hip or the feet and without an accurate diagnosis, treatment is a waste of time as you are not treating the true cause of the problem.

Are not all created equal! It is important to get the right one for your knee problem and the activity you want to do. New specialized techniques using tape are most effective. Elastic supports stifle the circulation and restrict movement.

Tissue Engineering

Or stem cell regeneration. This is a new surgery technique which implants cartilage from elsewhere aiming to stimulate cartilage re-growth but has mixed results to date.

And other investigations can give you a clearer idea of how advanced the problem is. Always make sure you get the right investigation for your problem, this should follow a detailed clinical assessment.

Possible anti-inflammatory, as well as, a steroid effect on pain and potentially beneficial effects on bone density.

Zinc

Helps trigger the growth of new cells to replace damaged tissue.

Ultrasound

Used by physiotherapists, this therapy uses sound waves to reach deep tissues and increase blood flow, relax muscles and aid healing.

Viscosupplementation

Injections of hyaluronate into the joint to lubricate it but not cure it. The injection can be painful and only offers short term pain relief.

Water

Exercising in your swimming pool takes the weight off your knees. Over and over again research shows that exercise can reduce knee pain, and is an important MUST!

Al mar con tu perro: playas que admiten mascotas este verano

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

España es uno de los países europeos con menos playas abiertas a los perros. En nuestro país encontramos diferentes tipos de playas: las playas que oficialmente permiten el acceso de perros sin ningún tipo de restricción, las que lo autorizan fuera del horario de baño y las que solo lo aprueban fuera de la temporada de baño (entre octubre y mayo), que son la gran mayoría. Sin embargo, cada vez son más las provincias que se suman al turismo con animales y aceptan visitantes caninos en sus costas

En Andalucía

A diferencia de otras comunidades, en Andalucía han disminuido las playas que permiten el acceso a las mascotas. La Junta de Andalucía prohibió el pasado junio de 2015 la entrada de perros a sus costas en la época de baño, que abarca del 1 de junio al 30 de septiembre. Aún así, todavía existen algunas costas abiertas en las que podrás acudir con tu querida mascota.

En Málaga encontrarás la Playa de Arroyo Totalán, aunque sus aguas lamentablemente no son aptas para el baño, y la Playa del Castillo, en la que solo se permiten canes en la parte perteneciente a Fuengirola. En Almería, está situada la Playa de la Rana, la cual se espera que esté habilitada para este próximo verano y, de esta ma-

nera, convertirse en la primera playa oficial para perros del territorio almeriense.

En Málaga es complicado ya que solo una playa de 650 metros de ancho, la del Arroyo Totalán, goza del permiso pertienente por parte de la Delegación de Medio Ambiente para poder llevar a los canes sin ningún problema - Fuengirola cuenta con una habilitada para caninos por parte del Ayuntamiento pero la Junta de Andalucía no le ha dado permiso alguno Los más de 450.000 perros que hay en la provincia lo tienen este año difícil para darse un chapuzón.

La Costa del Sol abre sus puertas para los turistas de cualquier lugar del mundo pero no cuenta con

apenas sitio para que sus mascotas y la de sus vecinos durante todo el año se puedan bañar en aguas malagueñas. La ciudad solo tiene una playa habilitada para perros en el Arroyo de Totalán, entre Málaga y el Rincón de la Victoria.

Los 650 metros de ancho y entre 20 y 30 de largo en los que se distribuye esta playa es el único lugar que tiene licencia para llevar a tu mascota y echar un día de verano.

El resto de playas que pueda haber en otros municipios y que dicen ser aptas para perros no cuentan con los permisos necesarios, según informan desde la Delegación de Medio Ambiente. Es el caso de la playa del Castillo Sohail de Fuengirola.

La Policía Nacional recuerda que está prohibido encerrar a los perros en los vehículos Con la llegada de las altas temperaturas, la Policía Nacional vuelve a recordar y a hacer campaña para evitar que los perros sean encerrados en los coches en ausencia de los dueños. Precisamente, el artículo 337 establece el maltrato de manera injustificada a un animal doméstico o amansado causándole la muerte o lesiones que menoscaben gravemente su salud, será castigado con la pena de tres meses a un año de prisión e inhabilitación especial de uno a tres años para el ejercicio de profesión, oficio o comercio que tenga relación con los animales.

Desde el Cuerpo Nacional de la Policía destacan que dejar al perro dentro de un coche en verano, arriesgando su vida, puede ser considerado delito penal, así que no se habla solo de una importante multa -que puede llegar a los 30.000 euros-, sino también de una posible pena de cárcel.

Hay que tener en cuenta que los malos tratos a los animales están castigados en la legislación de las distintas comunidades autónomas.

En Andalucía, por ejemplo, el abandono y el maltrato conlleva multas de entre 2.001 y 30.000 euros. Las faltas menos graves tienen sanciones de entre 501 y 2.000 euros y las leves, de 75 a 500.

En verano, igualmente, hay que extremar la precaución con los perros que presentan características especiales por su raza y que, por tanto, es aún más peligrosos dejarlos encerrados en el coche. En este sentido, son más frágiles las razas braquicéfalas, perros chatos como el bulldog, el carlino o el pequinés que tienen aún más dificultades en regular su temperatura y son hipersensibles a los golpes de calor; así como las razas nórdicas, huskies, malamutes, samoyedos y san bernardos, entre otros, que sufren enormemente

en los días de calor porque fueron criados para vivir en la nieve.

Igualmente, la Policía Nacional recuerda que nunca se debe de dejar a un animal dentro de un espacio tan reducido como el maletero, sin apenas oxígeno ni ningún tipo de corriente o ventilación. En el caso de los traspontines, muchos están hechos de plástico o de telas plásticas que no transpiran y concentran aún más el calor. Si además de estar dentro del coche, el perro está metido en su traspontín, la temperatura aumenta aún mucho más. El calor que desprende el perro se va reconcentrando dentro del traspontín agravando la situación.

Sin perjuicio de las características de cada raza, hay que tener en cuenta que tanto los cachorros como los perros ya mayores son más delicados y frágiles que los perros adultos y jóvenes, así que hay que tener especial atención.

To The Sea with your dog: pet friendly beaches this summer Spain is one of the European countries with fewer beaches open to dogs. In this country we find different types of beaches: beaches that officially allow access of dogs without any restriction, which are authorized after primary bathing hours and are only approved outside the bathing season (from October to May ), which are the vast majority. However, more and more provinces in favour of tourism will allow canine visitors that are accepted to their shores.

In Andalusia Unlike other communities, in Andalusia, they have decreased the number of beaches that allow access to pets. The Andalusian Government banned, in June 2015, the entry of dogs to its shores in the bathing season, which runs from June 1 to September 30. Still, there are some open coasts where one can go with your beloved pet.

In Malaga you will find the beach of Arroyo Totalán, although its waters are unfortunately not suitable for swimming, and the Playa del Castillo, (in the part belonging to Fuengirola) where dogs are allowed. In Almeria, there is Playa de la Rana

(Frog Beach), which is expected to be enabled for pets this summer and, thus, become the first official dog beach of Almeria province.

Malaga is complicated because the only beach, 650 meters wide, the Arroyo Totalán, has been granted permission from the Department of the Environment to allow dogs without any problems - Fuengirola has a canine permitted area, granted by the town council but the Andalusian Governmenthas not given its permission More than 450,000 dogs in the province have found it difficult this year to take a dip. The Costa del Sol opens its doors to tourists from anywhere in the world but has little room for pets and their neighbors throughout the year to bathe in the waters of Malaga. The city only has a beach-dog enabled in Totalán Arroyo, between Malaga and Rincon de la Victoria.

The other beaches that may be in other municipalities and claiming to be suitable for dogs do not have the necessary permits, according to reports from the Department of the Environment. This is the case Beach Sohail Castle in Fuengirola.

The National Police remind people that it is forbidden to shut dogs in vehicles With the arrival of high temperatures, the National Police again remind all that the campaign to prevent dogs from being locked in cars in their owner’s absence. Indeed, Article 337 establishes the abuse unjustifiably of a pet, domestic or tamed animal causing it’s death or injury which severely damages it’s health, shall be punished with imprisonment from three months to one year and one’s disqualification of up to three years for the exercise of a profession, trade or business that is related to animals.

The National Police Corps emphasize that to leave a dog (or other animal) in a car in summer, risking its life, can be considered a criminal offense, they do not only mention sanctioning a heavy fine, which can reach 30,000 Euros, but also of a possible jail term.

Keep in mind that the mistreatment of animals is sanctioned and penalised by the legislations of the different autonomous communities.

In Andalusia, for example, abandonment and abuse carries fines of between 2,001 and 30,000 Euros. Less serious offenses have penalties of between 501 and 2,000 Euros and minor offenses of between 75-500 Euros.

Also in summer one must exercise extreme caution with dogs that have special characteristics because of their breed and therefore it becomes

even more dangerous to leave them locked in the car. That is for example, brachycephalic breeds, they are more fragile due to their shortened skull, like the Bulldogs, Boxers, Pugs or Pekinese have more difficulty in regulating their temperature and are hypersensitive to heat stroke; as well as the Nordic breeds, Huskies, Malamutes, Samoyeds and St. Bernards, among others, who suffer greatly in hot days because they were bred to live in the snow.

The National Police wish to remind you that you should never leave an animal in a space as small as the trunk, with little oxygen or any air current or ventilation. For pet transport carriers, many are made of plastic or plastic fabrics that do not transpire and concentrate the heat even more. If, in addition to being in the car, the dog is put in its carrier, the temperature increases even more.

The heat from the dog goes into the transport carrier concentrating it even more and further aggravating the situation.

Without regard to the particular breed characteristics, keep in mind that both puppies and older dogs are more sensitive and fragile than adults and young dogs, so you have to take special care.

The Gecko on the Wall

The Resident Sports Pages brought to you courtesy of

The world of golf through the eyes of Calum McGregor Being an ex-sportsman who writes books for personal amusement, what do you think I said when I was offered the opportunity to write this section?

Golf has always been the sport that has entertained me since my childhood. I remember having lessons from Gary Player when I was no taller than a three wood.

I walked the fairway with my one of my heroes Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny. I grew up on Westlake Golf course in South Africa where my father was on the committee and the local caddies were my day-care during school holidays. When I finished practising I would sit in the members lounge and read every golf magazine inside and out. I have always loved golf but recently I have become emotionally involved in Spanish golf.

During the last few years of my life, while living here in the sun soaked Costa del Sol, I have written two books about my love of golf. Those books opened doors and gave

me the opportunity to work as a commentator on a professional golf tour - the only professional golf tour in Spain at the time.

Watching the young locals and the foreign professionals who have come to Spain to practice and compete over the last couple of seasons I got to see the moments of glory that went unseen by the rest of the world. I witnessed moments like the professional debut of Javier Ballesteros, the son of my all-time golfing hero. I was there to see a Local amateur golfer Mario Galiano from La Cañada Golf Club have back to back victories on The Gecko Tour before playing at The Spanish Open. Jordi Garcia Del Moral from Estepona won the Gecko Tour Order of Merit season 2014/15. He caddied for his good friend Sergio Garcia at The Spanish Open before competing himself at The Open de Madrid. I was fortunate enough to be at the Madrid Open, caddying for my good friend Anton Karlsson and although we finished in 22nd

position it was a great victory for another friend of mine Duncan Stewart who a few weeks earlier was practising at La Reserva G C. I have even watched as a young English golfer (who won his first professional event at Doña Julia GC four years ago) go on to become the first golfer who will journey into space, hence his newly christened nickname “Spaceman Sullivan”.

Needless to say I have become friends with many of the professionals that are considered locals in our region of Spain.

Over the last few years I have seen the heartache that some of the players have had to endure and the others that have climbed the ranks. As a sign of support I follow the scores from every tour - I send messages of congratulations after a good round played or alternatively messages of commiseration for cuts missed to any of the golfers who live or practice on the Costa del Sol. When one of my players wins the Spanish Professionals Open

tournament it is as big and as important news to me as who won the last major. Caddying for one of my players is more exhilarating and exciting for me than walking the fairways with Sergio Garcia and Marten Kaymer at the Spanish Open in Valderrama GC. Sporting successes mean so much more when you have an emotional involvement. When one of your friends or one of the people that live in our area does well on the international stage I think that is bigger news than if Rory Mclroy wins a tournament. Having said that, Rory’s father actually frequents our area and drinks in Duquesa port.

What I am going to do for the people reading this section is what I have been doing for the last few years. I will try and introduce the readers to all the local pros that train and practice at your local golf courses and I hope that you will also grow an emotional bond to the local sportsmen that are struggling and fighting to make it in the world

of golf.

Like a Gecko on the wall I watch my friends. I will stand back from the cruel roundabout of professional golf and witness her torturous ways. Not only will I write about the highs of international golf but I will also try and highlight what I think and hopefully our local residents and readers will think are great achievements.

Welcome to the first edition of The Gecko on The Clubhouse Wall. I look forward to all of us getting to know each other.

Dustin Johnson wins the US Open

D

ustin Johnson conquered Oakmont Country Club with a fantastic fourth round in the midst of controversy and confusion. With the first days play suspended due to inclement weather conditions the players completed their four rounds in three days of sunrise to sunset golf.

Johnson was in the middle of a brewing storm for most of the back nine on his final round. The USGA officials approached him on the 12th tee box about a review of his putt back on the fifth green in which the ball moved as he was in the process of addressing the ball. The USGA officials told him that after he finished his round they would review the decision.

All the other players in the field were also informed that there was a possibility of a penalty shot causing confusion amongst the players, The look of uncertainty was evident on most of the golfer faces and created one of the more surreal scenarios at a championship event in modern sports history: No one could be sure what the score was. The Sky Sports commentary team were outraged as were other players.

The issue in question was whether or not Johnson caused his ball to move before sinking a six-foot par putt. A day earlier, Lowry had called a one-stroke penalty on himself when

his ball moved slightly after he addressed it before a putt on the 16th green. But after immediately alerting a rules official to the movement of his ball, Johnson said he did not cause the movement.

The issue seemed to be resolved until Hall, the USGA’s managing director of rules and competition, approached Johnson and appeared on the Fox broadcast to explain the situation minutes later.

Hall indicated the USGA would assess a one-stroke penalty, but wouldn’t say for sure. “We have some concerns,” he said. “We wanted to put Dustin on notice.”

The combination of those comments, the indecision by the USGA and Hall approaching Johnson about it in the middle of his round sparked a wave of outcry on social media from fans and other players alike.

Rory McIlroy, who had left the tournament after missing the cut, wrote on Twitter: “This is ridiculous. No penalty whatsoever for DJ. Let the guy play without this crap in his head.

Amateur hour from (USGA).”

Jordan Spieth, who finished at 9 over par, wrote: “This is a joke.” Even 76-year-old golf legend Jack Nicklaus weighed in, arguing with USGA executive director Mike Davis before the trophy ceremony near the 18th green. “They have to either give him the penalty or not,” Nicklaus said.

A birdie by Johnson on the ninth hole and a bogey by Lowry on the same hole minutes later put Johnson alone in the lead by one stroke – or tied for the lead, as it turned out.

When Lowry missed a 7-foot par putt on No. 10, the lead grew to two – or one, in retrospect.

Despite facing a potential one-stroke penalty, Johnson kept a cool demeanour and secured his first major championship.

Europe had a strong contingent of players vying for the top spot going into the final round.

Shane Lowry from Ireland, managed a well fought and very respectful tied second place at -1

Sergio Garcia did himself proud, still in pursuit of his first long overdue major he tied fifth with my fellow countryman Branden Grace at level par. Garcia was up as high as three under before three straight bogey’s starting at the 14th hole put an end to his charge.

Despite all the drama surrounding the ruling the tournament lived up to the expectation. The US Open is designed for someone to win it and Dustin did, fair and square.

Hump Day Hackers

Anton Karlsson

Anton Karlsson, otherwise known as “The Silent Assassin” is a 22 year old from Upsalla Sweden but since turning Professional a few years ago he has based himself in Alcaidesa.

Training at our local courses and competing on The Gecko Tour during the winters, Anton has become a regular face in our area.

Anton is playing his rookie season on The European Challenge Tour and is already making a name for himself.

Last week he had his best European Challenge Tour finish at the Scottish Hydro Open in Aviemore Scotland, claiming his maiden tour hole in one on the first day. Unable to be there as his

A drinking society with a golfing problem

caddie we spoke the night after he made the cut. We agreed that he needed to go on a run, a run of birdies like he did at the Madrid Open to make the cut.

The following day Anton responded in style. Making the turn in 29 strokes he ended up equalling the

course record before going on to claim his first ever top ten finish on The Challenge Tour.

Unassuming and quiet most of the time now you will see why I call him “The Silent Assassin” Anton is destined to be a household name in the future.

The Costa connection to Spanish Olympic golf A historic meeting recently took place at La Reserva de Sotogrande with Manuel Pinero the Captain of the Spanish men’s Olympic golf team. Manuel Pinero was the winner of two World Cups (also including one as the leading individual), the 1985 Ryder Cup, nine European Tour titles and five Spanish Championships. He is an icon of Spanish and international golf. Manuel recently moved to Sotogrande too become part of a major project. The goal of Mr Pinero is to transform La Reserva, one of our most prestigious golf clubs, into one of the most prestigious and exclusive Golf Clubs in Europe.

George O’Grady, President of International Relations of the European Tour, José María Olazábal, Sergio García, José María Cañizares as well as the captains of the teams of Belgium, Philippe Relecom; Portugal, Joao Coutinho; Italy, Gianlua Crespi and Denmark, Claus Moelholm attended the meeting to highlight the “crucial “importance of Olympic Golf.

“It will be a historic turning point that will enable us to reach new generations of golfers and countries which are unthinkable right now”, said Olazábal. Special mention was made of Severiano Ballesteros, “who did more than anyone else for European Golf,” said Piñero. “The Spanish team will carry Seve’s image on their equipment, “We want to make it very clear that we are there representing him,” he added. “In Spain we must never forget the likes of the Miguel brothers, Ángel and Sebastián or Ramón Sota and, of course, Severiano Ballesteros, who did more than anyone else for European golf.“Seve is the real Captain, for his spirit and for his understanding of golf. Sergio

and I agree that we will carry his image on our uniform, as we want to make it clear that we are there representing him.

“As well as Seve, we have Olazábal with us, his eternal friend and team partner. I am here replacing the replacement, and I told José María that I will step back and hand him the captaincy should his health improve in the next few months. I also want to thank Sergio García, who represents the new generation of golfers that are raising our sport to increasingly higher levels. “I have told the players to prepare for the Olympics the same as they would for a Major – they know what to do. From the opening ceremony on August 5th to the start of golf on the 11th, we will have plenty of time to study the course. I know that the players have to carry their sponsors’ marks but I would like them to wear the same colours, and, as I said, Seve will be present on their equipment.”

I have been fortunate enough to become friends with Mr Pinero and I have witnessed the changes that have been made at La Reserva GC over the last few years. La Reserva has a special place in my heart. It is ranked in my Top 3 golf courses in the world and also holds fond memories for me. I caddied during the NH collection Open, hosted and commentated for the Gecko Tour

at their tour championship final and and The Ernie Els for Autism Charity golf day there a few years ago. Most recently I was working at La Reserva during the MENA Tour’s Sotogrande Masters.

With Mr Pinero’s input I have witnessed the clubhouse transform into what can only be described as a palace fit for a king. The golf course is in world class condition all year round with shiny white marble sand bunkers glistening on the velvet carpet like fairways.

Not a hair is out of place on this majestical golf course. I am really pleased to see that the same old friendly faces are still at the “New” La Reserva. Jesus, the friendliest man in the world is still behind the bar with all the amazing catering staff and David and the boys are still driving out to collect your clubs when you park. If anything Mr Pinero’s arrival at La Reserva has made the club feel more alive and awake. I am positive that the vision of Mr Pinero and Sotogrande SA to make La Reserva worthy of hosting a future European event is a foregone conclusion. With Olympics just around the corner and the captain of our Spanish national team also at the help of my favourite golf club in the world, I suspect it should create massive local interest. I will be writing about it anyway.

Heaven Sports Bar in Puerto Duquesa is the meeting place of the Hump Day Hackers. Every Wednesday afternoon from 2pm, likeminded golfers gather to share recent golfing stories. Competition format is decided during the preround drinks. After a few thirstquenching refreshments at 3pm the golfers head out in convoy to “compete” against each other at a local course.

Some fantastic new improvements taking place at Doña Julia Golf Club

Located in Casares, between Marbella and Sotogrande, Doña Julia Golf Club lies quietly next door to the world famous Finca Cortesin Golf club. A little bit like La Canada GC is to Valderamma GC, Dona Julia GC is perfectly integrated into the natural landscape of the area and is noted for its magnificent views over the Mediterranean Sea and the African Coast. The course is 18 holes par 71 with a length of 5,976. Designed by renowned Malaga architect Antonio Garcia Garrido Dona Julia GC offers her visitors an affordable golfing experience at a quality venue. Recent improvements see the golf club now boast a new restaurant and bar area, Pro shop, outside BBQ area and some on course improvements. “We have invested a lot of time and

money into the golf course and it is beginning to pay off now.

Golfers from across Europe and Scandinavia are booking their return visits and the feedback from the golfers about our improvements has been very rewarding.” Annie Villalba, Marketing Manager and local resident took great pride in showing me the improvements. “We have also taken delivery of fifty new electric buggies to cope with the increase in the numbers of players that are booking with us and our new BBQ area has proved so popular that we are running a BBQ special at the moment that is great value.” With the new and improved clubhouse and the golf course in immaculate condition, Dona Julia GC is a must play venue for any local and visiting golfer to our area.

An introduction to Estepona Golf Club risk sometimes rewards. Taking extra club is required when facing the challenging uphill shots to some long par 3s like the beautiful 14th hole and its Sierra Bermeja Mountain range backdrop.

The greens at Estepona are true. Many double level greens will punish an inaccurate shot but the large flat areas on most with nice rolling surfaces allow for some very close long putts.

At the end of the day Estepona GC offers every golfer what they are after. A nice relaxing day of golf on a testing but fair course. Friendly and polite staff always ensuring you leave with a smile on your face.

Estepona golf course is located at the newly built “Ant” roundabout on the border of Casares and Estepona. Being five minutes’ drive from where I live, it was one of the first golf courses I visited when I arrived in Spain. Nestled in the peaceful undulating Spanish countryside, Estepona GC is not your typical Spanish golf course. When you drive into the clubhouse you could easily be driving into the luxurious mansion of a wealthy friend. The friendly staff normally always stand at the open entrance to greet you hello.

I remember when I played Estepona GC for the first time, I loved the layout of the course but it really needed some TLC. The course was looking a little tired and looked like she could have done with some attention. I am pleased to see that over the last few years a significant amount of investment and attention has been given to Estepona and with the constant upgrades and improvement I look forward to see how the club will flourish in the future.

Estepona GC caters for all players. For an annual fee of €199 you can purchase a members card that entitles you to half price golf. An all year round green fee of €45 means all year around affordable golf. With relaxed and friendly bar and restaurant staff staying for a beer or two after your round is hard to resist.

The golf course itself was designed by Jose Luis Lopez Martinez and opened in 1991 by its proud owner Rory Leader. At only 5893 meters it is a relatively short par 72 but still a challenge for any level of golfer. Short downhill par 4s tempt you to go for the green with your drives where

In the female under 10’s Marta Serrano Vacas took second place in the championship after a great

performance.

In the under 12’s Amelia and Catherine Deardon competed valiantly demonstrating their elegance and mastery of the sport, standing at the gates of a well deserved medal and the chance to once again defend the title by a single hit, ranking among the ten best shooters in the tournament.
