Chiringuito under threat Bikini Beach, un chiringuito en la playa de la Rada de Estepona, ha recibido una multa de 240.000 euros y ordenado desmantelar parte de éste. La sanción ha sido interpuesta por la Demarcación de Costas por ampliar su superficie de 100 a 508 metros. Enrique González, representante de MOVISA RESTAURACIÓN, S.L.,entidad concesionaria del chiringuito, ha indicado en una nota de prensa no tener constancia de dicha sanción y ha calificado como falso que el departamento de Disciplina Urbanística haya abierto un expediente sancionador y señala que el chiringuito tiene la misma superficie desde hace 15 años y pide a la concejala de playas, Carmen Ocaña, su dimisión por desacreditar a él y a su empresa

Bikini Beach, a chiringuito on Estepona’s La Rada beach has been slapped with a 240,000 euro fine, and been ordered to dismantle part of its premises, after authorities deemed it had exceeded its permitted operating area. According to the Coastal Department the bar/restaurant occupied 580 square metres, almost 6 times its permitted 100 square metres. In a press statement issued by Enrique Gonzalez, representative of MOVISA RESTAURACIÓN S.L, the company which holds the concession for Bikini Beach, he claimed that he had no knowledge of the fine or that the planning department is taking any action against him. He went on to claim that the bar has occupied the same area for the past 15 years and has called for the resignation of Carmen Ocaña, Estepona’s councillor for beaches, for statements that discredit him and his company.

EDITORIAL A pesar de la pésima situación económica parece que todo el mundo nos estamos preparando para el largo, caluroso y “bullicioso” verano. Bares, cafeterías y otros negocios, los cuales han estado cerrados durante el invierno, abren sus puertas con nuevos eventos, que darán alegría y me atrevo a decir “una inyección de optimismo”. Ahora que la Semana Santa con sus procesiones se han quedado atrás, estamos deseando de la bulliciosa Feria y de la temporada de Fiestas, las cuales empezarán el próximo mes con la Feria de San Isidro en Estepona. Hablando de celebraciones, la semana que viene tenemos el Festival Internacional de Estepona, donde las comunidades extranjeras podrán dar a conocer su cultura, su gastronomía y sus tradiciones artísticas. Como siempre The Resident tendrá su stand de Prensa,¡ así pues, esperamos su visita! Una de las señales de que ya pronto tenemos el verano son los chiringuitos, los cuales han estado y han sido en la Costa del Sol parte de nuestras vidas, de los visitantes y de los residentes. Desafortunadamente muchos de esos chiringuitos tienen las horas contadas, tendrán que ser quitados de la arena según la Ley de Costa. Esta Ley que lleva 20 años toma fuerza recientemente, la Ley de Costas tiene en cuenta no sólo los chiringuitos sino también bares y restaurantes. Todo el mundo está de acuerdo en que el desarrollo urbanístico en la Costa debe de ser controlado, teniendo en cuenta el sentido común. Desgraciadamente el asunto ha sido como un partido de fúbol político, donde parece ser que los únicos perdedores son los pequeños negocios y la industria turística. ¡Asegúrese de ir a estos eventos este verano, porque nunca se sabe como se nos presenta el futuro!
AGENDA - DIARY 23.04.09 Día de San Jorge St. George’s Day 26.04.09 Festival Internacional - Estepona Estepona International Festival 01.05.09 Día del Trabajador - Fiesta Nacional May Day - National Holiday 03.05.09 Romeria de San Isidro - Estepona 15.05.09 Día de San Isidro Fiesta Local-Estepona Estepona Local Holiday - San Isidro
Despite the economic gloom there is still that sense of anticipation at the moment as the coast shrugs off its winter dormancy and prepares itself for the long, hot and hopefully busy, summer. Bars, cafes and other businesses which have been closed during the winter months have re-opened, along with a number of new venues, which has given the area a more vibrant feel, and dare I say it, sparked a glimmer of optimism. Now that Semana Santa’s solemn processions are behind us we can begin to look forward to the busy Feria and Fiesta season, which begins next month with Estepona’s San Isidro celebrations. Talking of celebrations, next week sees Estepona’s International Festival, when the town’s diverse foreign community takes the opportunity to show off its varied, cultural, gastronomic and artistic traditions. As usual The Resident will be manning the Press stand, so why not pay us a visit whilst you’re there. One sure sign of the return of summer are the region’s iconic beach restaurants, which have been such a part of the Costa del Sol’s attraction to visitor and residents alike. Unfortunately many of these chiringuitos are under threat from the Coast Authority which would have them all removed from the sands in line with the Law of the Coasts. This 20 year old law has recently begun to be vigorously enforced, with not only the chiringuitos under scrutiny but also many frontline bars and restaurants coming under fire for outside terraces which fall within the protected zone. Whilst everyone agrees that coastal development needs to be firmly controlled, there has to be some common sense applied to this issue. Unfortunately the issue has become something of a political football, with the only losers likely to be small businesses and the coast’s tourist industry. So make sure you make the most of these venues this summer, because things may be very different in the near future.

Gibraltar, ganadores del II Trofeo Iberíco por la paz El encuentro que se ha celebrado a modo de liguilla se lo ha adjudicado la selección de Gibraltar. La escuela española de los “gunners” se hizo con el subcampeonato. La entrega de trofeos estuvo presidida por el concejal delegado de deportes del Ayuntamiento de San Roque, Antonio Calero. El evento que se ha jugado en el municipal de La Unión, tiene el objetivo primordial de promover la paz, en especial en la zona ‘caliente’ de Oriente Próximo, por ello el campeonato ha estado compuesto por el equipo del Galilée United, integrado por jóvenes futbolistas israelitas
y palestinos, además de las escuelas del Arsenal de Francia, Gibraltar y el municipio de Castellar, éstos, han suplido las bajas de Holanda y Sevenoaks Town, de Londres. La idea del torneo surgió del representante del Arsenal en España, Kenneth Jones, quien asegura que “Andalucía puede considerarse el mejor lugar del mundo para celebrar un evento por la paz en el conflicto entre religiones por su condición multiétnica ya que es una zona en la que durante diversas etapas de su historia han convivido musulmanes, judíos y cristianos”. Jones afirma que “es el entorno ideal para este
tributo a la tolerancia religiosa y el respeto al prójimo”. Por otro lado, Chris Williams, ex entrenador de la academia de la base del Manchester City, ahora en las filas de los “gunners” ha sido el ojeador del club londinense en el Torneo por la Paz, Williams con licencia UEFA, ha elegido a Issola de (Arsenal España), Nadam Rozem (Arsenal Israel), Demange (Arsenal Francia) y Hernández (Gibraltar) como los mejores jugadores del torneo. Por cierto, que Hernández, número diez de la selección de Gibraltar, es uno de los puntales del cuadro del Sevilla FC infantil.

Gibraltar wins II Iberian Trophy for Peace tournament This year’s Iberian Trophy for Peace, held over the Easter weekend at the Guadiaro football ground, was a great success with GFA Gibraltar taking the top honours. The tournament was staged as a ‘Round Robin’ amongst five U14 teams comprising Arsenal soccer academies from Spain, France and Israel along with a team from GFA Gibraltar and UD Castellar, the latter two standing in for a Dutch team and an English team who both had to withdraw at the
last minute. With the aim of promoting peace, the idea behind the tournament was conceived by the director of the Arsenal Soccer Academy in Spain, Ken Jones, who said that “Spain can be considered the best place in the world to hold an event for peace and an end to religious conflict, given that at various stages in its history, Muslims, Jews and Christians have co-existed in the region, and therefore it is the ideal venue for this tribute to religious
tolerance and respect for others”. A particular testimony to this ideal is the Israeli team Galilee United is comprised of both Israelis and Palestinians. A keenly fought series of matches resulted in an emphatic win for the Gibraltar team with the Spanish side, last year’s winners, coming a close second. All the teams played well with a number of players coming in for special mention by Chris Williams, a former Oldham Academy of Excellence and
Manchester City Academy coach and now working with the Arsenal Academy in Spain, who selected the following for a special mention: Issole (Arsenal Spain) Nadaman Rozema (Arsenal Israel), Demange (Arsenal France) and Hernandez (Gibraltar) as the best players in the tournament. The medals and trophies were presented by Antonio Calero from San Roque Town Hall’s Sports Department.

La nueva variante de Estación de San Roque eliminará paso a nivel ferroviario del núcleo urbano El consejero de Obras Públicas y Transportes en funciones, Luis García Garrido, ha visitado las obras de la variante de la Estación de San Roque (Cádiz) en cuya construcción se invertirán 11,8 millones de euros. Esta nueva carretera permite eliminar el actual paso a nivel existente en el núcleo urbano, además de facilitar el acceso al futuro intercambiador de mercancías previsto en la zona. La infraestructura tiene una longitud de 4 kilómetros y permitirá evitar que los tráficos de largo recorrido que actualmente circulan por la carretera A405 (Gaucín–San Roque) atraviesen la barriada Taraguilla, donde se ubica la estación de ferrocarril y el mencionado paso a nivel. Este será sustituido por un paso a diferente nivel que incluye la construcción de un puente de 280 metros sobre las líneas férreas. Además, el futuro desarrollo de la zona de actividades logísticas del Campo de Gibraltar supondrá un previsible aumento del tráfico en este tramo de carretera, tanto por los vehículos que procedentes del Puerto de Algeciras se dirijan hacia esta zona logística, como
para los camiones que continúen por este eje viario en dirección Ronda. La variante comienza en la glorieta de enlace de Miraflores conectando con la autovía A-7. Desde este punto bordea la barriada de Tagarilla por el este para finalizar enlazando con la A-405 una vez superado el núcleo urbano y el acceso a la carretera CA-9203 que facilita la comunicación con San Roque. En los tramos en los que la pendiente de la carretera supere el 5% de desnivel se construirán carriles para vehículos lentos al para dar fluidez a los tráficos. El diseño de la conexión con la carretera A-405 incluye la construcción de un paso inferior que preste servicio al futuro acondicionamiento del tramo de la carretera que discurre desde la Venta de los Timbales hasta Castellar de la Frontera y que conlleva la construcción de un carril bici. Asimismo, el trazado se ha diseñado con idea de minimizar la afección al alcornocal y reducir el máximo la superficie afectada, además de haberse incorporado las medidas que recoge el informe ambiental.

Juan Sánchez renuncia a la alcaldía en un emotivo pleno Tal como estaba previsto, el hasta ayer alcalde de Casares, Juan Sánchez, daba cuenta al pleno de su renuncia después de 30 años como cargo público local, y 25 como alcalde. Un emotivo acto que contó con la presencia de numeroso público de Casares y de compañeros de Izquierda Unida de la provincia de Málaga. Durante el acto, Juan Sánchez tuvo palabras de agradecimiento para su familia, para los compañeros de partido, Izquierda Unida, que le han estado apoyando durante todos estos años, y para todos los casareños que en tantas ocasiones le habían mostrado su confianza. El hasta ahora alcalde de Casares dijo que había hecho coincidir su renuncia con el Día de la República, 14 de abril, para hacer un pequeño homenaje personal a todas aquellas personas que lucharon por la libertad y que vieron truncados sus sueños por el golpe de estado de Franco.
El exalcalde también se refirió al desarrollo que había tenido Casares en los últimos 30 años, “el municipio ha tomado una increíble proyección de futuro”, y pidió que ese desarrollo
sostenible tuviera una continuidad. En el turno de palabra, la oposición tuvo palabras de elogio para Juan Sánchez. El portavoz del PP, Javier Quero, lo definió como un gran alcalde y le deseo lo mejor
para el futuro; mientras el portavoz de PSOE, Miguel Ángel Herrera, agradeció el papel participativo que había dado a la oposición. Nueva alcaldesa Tras la renuncia el pleno pasó a ser presidido por la alcaldesa en funciones, la primera teniente de alcalde Antonia Morera. Antonia Morera dijo que esta misma mañana iba a convocar un nuevo pleno para el sábado, 18 de abril, a las 12.00 h. en el que se votaría su candidatura a la alcaldía. Antonia Morera es la candidata de Izquierda Unida para sustituir a Juan Sánchez como alcaldesa de Casares. La corporación de Casares está formada por 7 representantes de Izquierda Unida, 2 del Partido Popular y 2 del Partido Socialista Obrero Español. Tras el acto, el secretario general del PCA, José Luís Centella hizo entrega a Juan Sánchez de una escultura, un puño cerrado tallado en madera.
Juan Sanchez resigns as Mayor of Casares As announced last month the mayor of Casares, Juan Sánchez, officially resigned as Mayor of Casares after 25 years as the town’s civic leader, in a moving ceremony attended by crowds of local residents along with colleagues from the Izquierda Unida party across the province. During the ceremony, Juan Sánchez thanked his family and fellow party members for their support over the years, and to all the Casareños who repeatedly demonstrated their confidence in him. Mr Sánchez explained that he had timed his resignation to coincide with Republic Day, April 14th, as a small personal tribute to those who had fought for freedom, only to see their dreams dashed by Franco’s coup d’etat. He went on to refer to the way Casares had developed during his years in office and asked that this forward thinking policy was continued. Finally opposition leaders gave the

Antonia Morera announced that there would be another plenary council meeting on Saturday, April 18th at 12.00 noon to vote on her candidacy for mayor. Antonia Morera is the United Left candidate to replace John Sanchez as Mayor of Casares. The Casares Council consists of 7 representatives of the United Left (IU), 2 from the Partido Popular, and 2 from the Partido Socialista Obrero Español.

Hotel Finca Cortesín abre sus puertas El mes pasado, el Hotel Finca Cortesín, situado en Casares, abrió oficialmente sus puertas con una fiesta a la que asistieron numerosos invitados del mundo empresarial, político y social de toda la Costa del Sol y Sotogrande. El consejero de Turismo, Comercio y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía, Luciano Alonso, fue el encargado de inaugurar oficialmente este resort de lujo. Aunque el hotel lleva desde octubre del año pasado en funcionamiento, sus responsables han querido hacer la inauguración ahora, cuando el establecimiento lleva unos meses de rodaje y ya cuenta con la aprobación de cientos de clientes. El nuevo cinco estrellas de la Costa del Sol, ha venido
a sumarse a la gran oferta hotelera de la zona, pero cuenta con todo lo imprescindible para que ya se considere un gran resort de lujo. Además de las 67 suites del hotel, Finca Cortesín cuenta con un magnífico campo de golf de 18 hoyos; dos restaurantes, un spa con los tratamientos más avanzados y lujosas villas de 450 metros cuadrados. Todo ello en un enclave paradisíaco con 214 hectáreas de terreno a su alrededor. La construcción del complejo hotelero se inició hace seis años y concluirá en 2013 con el desarrollo inmobiliario a cargo de Single Homes. Según el consejero delegado de esta empresa, Javier López, el proyecto Finca Cortesín cuenta con una inversión de
700 millones de euros para los próximos diez años, de los que ya se han invertido 250. Además, en este lujoso proyecto se generarán 1.100 empleos, entre directos e indirectos. Así se cumple una de las máximas del modelo de negocio de Single Home, “hacer algo único que repercuta positivamente en su entorno”, indicó López. Como resultado de este ambicioso proyecto, Finca Cortesín ya ha cosechado importantes reconocimientos, uno de los más destacados ha sido su elección como sede para la ‘Volvo World Match Play Championship’, competición que reunirá en sus instalaciones a los mejores jugadores de golf.

Nueva reunión técnica para la reanudación de las obras del pabellón polideportivo de Sabinillas La alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, acompañada de los concejales de Deportes e Infraestructuras, Diego Urieta y Mario Jiménez, respectivamente, ha mantenido una reunión técnica con representantes de la Unión Temporal de Empresas Construcciones Vera y Gea 21, entidad adjudicataria de las obras de construcción del pabellón polideportivo de Sabinillas. Tras los últimos contactos mantenidos, se ha logrado un preacuerdo con respecto al coste total de la obra que realmente está ejecutada, paso previo para poder reanudar la obra del polideportivo, algo que el equipo de gobierno pretende que se haga de forma inminente. Los técnicos municipales, con el asesoramiento de los técnicos de la Mancomunidad de Municipios de la Costa del Sol Occidental, presentaron a la citada empresa constructora una valoración de la obra ejecutada, que fue aceptada en principio, si bien deberá contar con la aprobación fehaciente
de la UTE Vera y Gea 21. Tras este trámite, se reconocerá por parte del Ayuntamiento de Manilva la deuda real, podrá establecerse un plan de pagos futuros y se acordará la terminación del proyecto que sea viable ejecutar. Según ha explicado el concejal de Deportes, Diego Urieta, el objetivo que mantienen todas las partes implicadas en este asunto es que la obra de construcción del pabellón polideportivo de Sabinillas pueda reanudarse en el menor plazo de tiempo posible. Por todo ello, se ha revisado todo lo que está ejecutado de la obra y será necesario adaptar el proyecto en las partes que sea necesario para darle viabilidad y poder reanudar de forma inmediata. Urieta explicó que para el equipo de gobierno concluir este enclave deportivo es de máxima prioridad porque está enclavado en un área de importante concentración poblacional y porque es donde más carencias de instalaciones deportivas hay en la actualidad.
Talks continue on Sabinillas sports centre Manilva’s Mayor, Antonia Muñoz, accompanied by a number of councillors recently met with representatives of Construcciones Vera and Gea 21, the consortium contracted to build the Sabinillas sports complex. This is the latest of a series of meetings, the aim of which is to seek a resumption of works to the project which has been paralysed for almost two years. Preliminary discussions have reached an agreement in principle of the value of the works carried out to date, a prerequisite of the consortium’s agreement to restarting construction. The next step is to negotiate a payment schedule for this and future works, which all parties agree should be completed in the shortest possible time. In order to to restart the project it has been agreed that modifications will be necessary to the original plans so as to allow completion within the shortest
time possible. The local authorities have declared this project one of their top priorities given the large population within its vicinity and the urgent need for these sporting facilities in this area.

Alonso - Sabinillas ¿ Ha tenido la necesidad alguna vez de cambiar la resistencia o el termostato en su calentador de agua eléctrico y no ha encontrado dichas piezas, o no ha podido encontrar piezas como tuberías, rejillas, etc para sus electrodomésticos?. Si ha tenido problemas encontrando estas piezas es porque no ha ido a Alonso en Sabinillas. Con 30 años de experiencia en el mercado, este negocio familiar ha servido al público en general y a la industria local en Manilva durante los últimos 5 años. En una visita reciente a su tienda/almacén me he dado cuenta que tiene casi de todo, me di cuenta
cuando unas cuantas semanas atrás necesité unas bolsas para la aspiradora,¡ las tiene de casi todas las marcas y de casi todos los tamaños!. Si no tiene algo en el almacén en ese momento, se puede pedir y están disponibles en 24 horas. No sólo tienen a disposición piezas de repuesto sino también venden y tienen un servicio de mantenimiento de todo tipo de electrodomésticos para la industria de catering también. Sus servicios de post-venta y mantenimiento dan al cliente paz y tranquilidad, así pues, si su congelador en su restaurante deja de trabajar, estarán ahí inmediatamente.
Alonso - Sabinillas Have you ever needed to change the element or thermostat on your electric water heater but not been able to find the part? Or been unable to find spare parts, pipes, grills etc., for your domestic appliances? If you’ve had problems finding any of these it’s because you haven’t been to Alonso’s in Sabinillas. With 30 years experience in the trade, this family run business has been serving the general public and local industry in Manilva for the past 5 years. On a recent visit to their shop/store it soon became clear that they had just about everything,
if only I’d known a few weeks ago when I needed new bags for my vacuum cleaner, they seemed to have just about every make and size possible. What they didn’t have in stock can be ordered and ready for collection in 24 hours. Not only do they supply spare parts for home appliances but they also sell and maintain all types of equipment for the catering industry too. Their excellent after sales and maintenance service gives their clients peace of mind, so if the freezer in your restaurant packs up they will be there immediately.

In these days of economic uncertainty it has never been more important to support local business. Small and medium size companies can provide a more personal and flexible service than most of the bigger companies where profit is the sole motivation. Small, local businesses are more in tune with the needs of their clients and understand local conditions and requirements and can ensure that the customer gets the best product or service that he requires. To ensure that this diversity of choice continues to be available then it really is a case of use it or lose it, so support local commerce with your custom.

El Ayuntamiento habilitará un aparcamiento en la zona anexa a las antiguas oficinas de Endesa El alcalde de Estepona, David Valadez, ha comunicado, tras la demolición del muro de carga de la fachada situada más al sur de las antiguas oficinas de Sevillana-Endesa, sitas en la Avenida San Lorenzo, que los restos de escombro servirán para nivelar la parcela anexa a las instalaciones, al objeto de habilitarla como zona de aparcamiento de carácter público y gratuito, además de contribuir al adecentamiento
de la parcela. El alcalde ha manifestado la necesidad de derribar la estructura, “ante el estado de ruina física inminente que presentaba el inmueble, situado en una zona céntrica de la localidad, paso importante de transeúntes, y al estar el edificio circundado por tres centros educativos, con el consiguiente peligro para la seguridad pública que constituía”.

Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva Sponsored Walk The credit crunch, recession, call it what you will, is hitting people hard on the Costa del Sol. Unfortunately many of the hardest hit are on UK pensions and have seen the value of those pensions diminish rapidly. Age Concern is finding that more requests are coming in for advice and help as elderly people struggle to make ends meet. For the charity to do that to the best of its ability funds are always needed to support the volunteers. This year Age Concern is holding a sponsored walk on Sunday 19th April along the Paseo Marítimo, Estepona on Sunday 19th April from near the start of the Paseo (towards the fishermen’s workshops) to El Correos and back (that is one lap). The walk starts at 11.00. Walkers of all abilities as well as sponsors are needed. Sponsors can sponsor per lap or just donate an amount. Prizes will be given to the Under 12 who collects the
most money, and to the adult who collects the most money. For a sponsor form call in at the shop in Calle Zaragoza, Estepona; to sponsor a walker call 951 318 234 and leave your details. Why not spend that Sunday morning helping to raise money for such a worthwhile cause? We look forward to hearing from you. Estepona International Day 26th April Estepona Council have organised the first International Day of 2009 for Sunday 26th April. Age Concern will be there running a stall selling teas, coffees, and produce of all kinds, as well as providing information about the charity to people and giving advice when asked. At a recent meeting with the Council this years event will feature a full programme of entertainment as well as 32 stalls in the Palacio de Congresos. To make the event a huge success we need your
support – both in produce to sell, and in running the stall. We need cakes, biscuits, preserves, quiches (always a great favourite), pies, sausage rolls…., anything edible! If you can help in any way contact us now on 951 318 234 and leave your details or email tonyaldous55@yahoo.co.uk. Lifeline For elderly people who require help or advice Age Concern operate a telephone service called Lifeline. This gives the individual a direct point of contact with the charity. The telephone number is 650 163 928. It should be noted that Age Concern is not an emergency service. There is also an email address where you can contact Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva. It is acesteponaymanilva@ ageconcern-espana.org and why not tune into our web site at www. acesteponaymanilva.org

Music CHAMBAO en concierto 25/04/2009, 22.00h. Sala Vivero, MÁLAGA ‘Con otro aire’ es el último trabajo discográfico de Chambao y quizás también el más personal. El grupo ha iniciado en marzo una gira para presentar en directo este nuevo disco. Se trata de una gira con menos ambiente y escenografía rockera, que conserva los aires mediterráneos y sureños y la apuesta por la fusión que son las señas de identidad de Chambao. Para esta gira, Chambao ha apostado por hacer un lavado de cara y una revisión a todo su repertorio musical. Dos decenas de canciones que representan lo mejor de todas las etapas de Chambao sonarán en la Sala Vivero con arreglos nuevos, aunque permaneciendo en lo esencial fiel al espíritu del grupo. En ‘Con otro aire’, Chambao explora el encuentro entre la música mediterránea y la oriental. Para conseguir esa ambientación, ha incluido instrumentos árabes e hindúes. El nuevo disco de Chambao es el primero en el que participa únicamente uno de los fundadores del grupo, LaMari.

PEDRO GUERRA Pedro Guerra ha tardado cuatro años en volver a la escena discográfica para regalarnos el que define como su trabajo más coherente. “Eran 10 años y ocho discos y necesitaba parar para oxigenarme.” Y esa oxigenación, dada la íntima, vital y fértil relación de Pedro con la música por poco que a ella se consagre, ha servido para engendrar las 14 canciones de Vidas. Pedro Guerra has taken four years to return with a record which he describes as his most coherent work to date. “I had been on the go for 10 years and eight records and I needed to stop to regain a bit of oxygen.” This oxygen, given Pedro’s intimate, vital and fertile relationship with music that seems to come to him so naturally, has served him to create the 14 songs of Vidas.
Pasión Vega vuelve a los escenarios con un nuevo trabajo discográfico en el que recoge versiones de canciones latinoamericanas. La idea nació de la propia cantante: “Me apetecía mucho y creo que era el momento ideal. Es mi quinto álbum y quería hacer algo propio de una artista un poco más madura. En mi opinión, creo que son canciones que están muy vinculadas a nuestra cultura andaluza. Hemos hecho una fusión muy interesante, ya luego el público dirá si le gusta o no”. “Es un proyecto muy distinto a lo que yo he hecho hasta ahora pero, a la vez, muy Pasión Vega. Será un disco aunque clásico, muy grandioso, con arreglos espectaculares y sofisticados”. Pasión Vega returns to the stage with a new album that brings together different versions of Latin American songs. The singer herself came up with the idea for the album: “I really fancied doing this and I think it was the ideal moment. This is my fifth album and I wanted to do something a little more fitting of a more mature artist. In my opinion, I believe that they are songs that are closely linked to our Andalusian culture. We have created a very interesting fusion, and the audiences will let us know if they like it or not”. “It is a project that is very different to any that I have worked on before, but it is very Pasión Vega at the same time. Although it is a classical disc, it will be very grandiose, with spectacular and sophisticated arrangements”

Medsports - Local freshwater fishing Once again welcome to Med Sports, the angling centre in Sabinillas. Since our last article we have visited and fished a few lakes in Andalucia. The River Guadiaro seems to be teeming with barbel at the moment and I found that one of the best baits to use is sweet corn. The various rivers and lakes in the area are located at Manilva, Rio Guadiaro, San Roque, and Los Barrios, to name but a few. The easiest way to find these is to look on Goggle Earth, then put the latitude and longitude into your SatNav. Failing this pop in and see us in the store or give us a call and we will give you directions. We now have a good and varied supply of ‘boilies’, and various ground baits. Also in stock we have various flavoured Aroma Liquids. Our carp and barbel guru Terry, has agreed to conduct freshwater fishing trips at a minimal cost to cover expenses. This is well worth a trip, the tranquillity and scenery at some of the locations is phenomenal. To get your freshwater licence you will need to go to the Consejeria de Agricultura y Pesca, Malaga. This is situated opposite the bus station in Malaga. If you have never fished freshwater before the chances are you may have to conduct a short course to be granted a licence. If you have a UK rod licence, take this with you as it helps, it shows you have previous experience in freshwater
fishing. You will also need to obtain public liability insurance. From the Beach This month we have also fished the rocks at Duquesa Port and from the shore adjacent to Manilva Beach urbanisation. Wrag worm has been my favourite choice, but do make sure you use a baiting needle to present your bait as neatly as possible. Our worms are fresh in store every Friday, and they keep really well in the fridge. Incidentally if anyone fancies some big game fishing in the Mediterranean give us a call in store as we now have the contacts in place to arrange this. Typical cost is 1000 Euros a day for the boat and skipper, and this can be divided between four persons.
Since my last article we have increased our selection of quality rods and reels, and the terminal tackle has grown immensely too. We also have a selection of hunting & fillet knives, bait buckets, holdalls, rod bags, reel cases, Lansky sharpeners, torches, to name but a few. Don’t forget your fishing stories and photographs are always welcome. You can send these to medsports@btinternet.com Until next time Tight Lines.

The DFAS de la Frontera lecture on 21st April is a very special one. Linda Smith who gave us “The Human Body in Art” is back with a double lecture programme! In the morning we will have “From Egg to Bacon: English Painting 18501950” when Linda will tell us about Victorian artists like Augustus Egg, a friend of Charles Dickens, who created popular works with a high moral tone, and how the Pre-Raphaelites challenged the status quo with vivid colours and complex decoration. They initiated a fertile era in English art, at the end of which Francis Bacon erupted onto the scene. Furthermore our Patron, Lady Ann Parkinson, will be joining us. Lady Parkinson is one of the founder members of the whole NADFAS movement and has also been a National Chairman of NADFAS

This will incorporate a study of the mixture of Modernism and Pastoralism in the 1950s, followed by Pop Art in the sixties, Conceptualism through the 1980s and the turbulent launch of the Turner Prize.

The Currency Market – The Euro In Your Pocket and so push the domestic currency down if they choose to repatriate the capital. Also, a large budget deficit may lead to too much money in the economy, chasing too few goods, and higher inflation.
Have you ever wondered why currencies fluctuate the way they do? And the factors that control the highs and lows and the ups and downs of the Pound or the Euro in your Pocket. In recent months we have seen the Pound fall considerably against other major currencies particularly affecting workers in Gibraltar and retired couples who live in the locality. A reduction of between 25% and 30% over the past year and a half in the value of the Great British Pound has seen the cost of living for the majority of us who live along the coast, increase substantially. This in turn has seen an increase in Spanish shoppers visiting the Rock. Gibraltar seems to be bucking the trend at the moment, with an economy that grows at a rate comparable with the likes of China. Its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) according to Gibraltar’s chief minister Peter Caruana is the 13th highest in the world. How Are Currencies Valued? All of the following factors affect a currency’s value: Growth. The faster growing economy should have a stronger currency, as more overseas investors want to buy assets in that country. When foreign direct investment (FDI) takes place, whether in houses, equities or businesses, the domestic currency has to be bought to pay for those assets. In a slower growing economy there will be fewer attractive assets and less FDI. A commodity boom may help a currency, as foreign buyers of the commodity will need to buy the domestic currency. Inflation. A high inflation rate relative to other countries will contribute to currency weakness, as a currency unit buys less in its home market. Government Budget Deficits. A government that is increasing its budget deficit will issue bonds. If the interest offered is attractive, overseas investors may buy and this will strengthen the domestic currency. But if bond market investors suspect that the new supply of bonds will be large, leading to a de-rating from a rating agency, overseas investors may not only stay away but become sellers

Government/Central Bank Reserves. A government may decide to build up currency reserves in the currencies of its trading partners, to facilitate trade by ensuring there is sufficient foreign currency to pay for imports. This will increase the demand, and hence the value, of the currencies being bought. Large foreign exchange reserves are sometimes accumulated by central banks in order to enable them to alter the value of their own or another currency through buying or selling currencies. Sometimes central banks buy, or sell, a currency in a coordinated attempt to change that currency’s value. Central banks may also seek to accumulate large gold and foreign currency holdings for political and strategic reasons. Interest Rates. A ‘high yielding’ currency is one in which overseas investors can find a high rate of return in that country’s financial markets, because of high interest rates. So investors buy assets denominated in that currency and the currency that the assets are denominated in will strengthen. If interest rates are low, overseas investors may borrow in the currency only to sell it in order to buy assets in higher yielding currencies. A Stronger Pound The pound has rallied strongly against the euro since the start of 2009 when it traded near parity and in the last few days its gains have been even more pronounced. The general consensus is there is worse news to come out of the Euro denominated countries with more investors pulling the plug on the Euro. Sentiment towards Sterling seems to be more bullish.

Antonio Banderas, Rocio Torres de Cudeca & Melanie Griffith
It is with enormous joy that Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice announces that Cudeca, Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith have offered to help Cudeca raise funds and support their benefactor campaign. Every year hundreds of people suffer from advanced cancer at non-curable stage requiring special care which Cudeca offers to the patient and family members through their professional doctors, psychologists, nurses and volunteers. All their services are totally free of charge. Antonio and Melanie are very closely involved with Cudeca´s project which started in 1992 and thanks to which more than 5600 patients and families affected by the advanced stages of cancer have been cared for. They have made a commitment to help Cudeca. They have shot videos for the campaign “Become a Benefactor –Add Life To Days” so that Cudeca may secure its future thanks to the people of Málaga, for the people of Málaga. Antonio and Melanie have stated that
“the Cudeca project is beautiful and impressive” and that they wish to visit the Hospice Centre in Benalmádena as soon as possible. In doing so, they will be able to personally show their affection and support for the patients and professionals who work to add life to their days. Antonio Banderas emphasised how experienced and professional the Cudeca medical team is, looking after an average of 600 patients a year at home, in the InPatient Unit and the Rehabilitation Day Care Centre. The patients are given a special kind of caring assuring dignity and quality of life during such difficult moments. In addition, Melanie Griffith wants to particularly encourage the international community living in the province of Málaga to continue helping Cudeca as it has done until now, and to increase the number of benefactors to financially assist Cudeca, so that it can continue to help those who need it at any time.

Dr Ronald Rosenfeld D.V.M Abusive Pet Owners There is a connection between domestic violence directed against a spouse or children and animal abuse. In a recent study, carried out by an Animal Welfare Foundation, of complaints against perpetrators of animal abuse in 2008, it turns out that 7 out of 10 people denounced for mistreatment of animals were also implicated in attacks against another member of their family! It was shown that 47% of aggressors were between 30 and 50 years old while 29% were over 51. Often this violence is a way to channel the impotence of problems faced in the home and is directed towards our pets. This pattern of behaviour is learned in the home by the children from the parent or parents as a means of trying to identify with them. A psychologist involved with the study made these reflections, stating that the violence is a reflection of the perpetrators’ inability to express themself verbally. Families With Pets In Spain, six out of ten households have at least one pet, according to a study carried out by Propet, an organisation of pet professionals, who just had an exposition in Madrid. There are about 20 million pets in the country, 5,500,000 dogs, 4,000,000 cats, 7,000,000 birds, 4,500,000 fish and some 2,000,000 exotic animals – small mammals and reptiles. According to Veterinarians opening up your home to a pet helps reduce stress, builds selfesteem, instils responsibility to the younger members of a family, improves communication, and increases affection among members of the household. This is also stated by 80% of families that have either a dog or a cat, they
affirm that their pet is a source of well being and is considered a member of the nuclear family. The average annual cost to a family budget of keeping a pet here is estimated to be around 1,500 €, a figure lower than the calculated outlay for households in other countries where more is conscientiously spent on pet care. The other side of the coin is the unfortunately high number of abandoned animals that is still a problem here. According to the protective societies involved in Propet there are some 200,000 animals abandoned here yearly. As high as this estimate is, some sense of accomplishment may be gleaned from the knowledge that this figure is almost half of what it was some 20 years ago. Snacks, Treats, and Stolen Hidden Treasures Some of you may have read or heard about a recent case of a dog in the U.K. that had to be rushed to the veterinary hospital for having found and eaten a hidden cache of chocolate Easter eggs. Chocolate ingestion can be very dangerous to your pets as it contains a substance known as theobromine, which is toxic to them! The purer or richer the chocolate the higher the theobromine concentration is. The symptoms usually start to appear six to twelve hours after eating the chocolate and may last as long as seventy-two hours. The severity of the symptoms depend upon the amount consumed, they may range from simple discomfort to vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal tenderness, restlessness, increased heart and breathing rate. More severe cases may lead to fits, heart beat irregularities coma and in the most severe cases left untreated or treated
too late death may occur! There may also be secondary lasting effects in the case of some animals that either recover or are asymptomatic having eaten small amounts over long periods of time, due to the excess sugar consumption which leads to diabetes. Be careful where you hide that box of chocolates or those sweet treats you give as rewards as they may be doing more harm than good. This case was about a dog in the U.K. that was able to receive the life saving treatment it needed, for free, through the P.D.S.A., which is a charity that accepts donations for fees. This is a service available in the U.K., which is not yet available in Spain and the Veterinary fees here for such life saving treatments might run into several hundred Euros, depending on the care required. This may not be covered by pet insurance plans if owners’ negligence can be shown, so please take heed. Veterinarians need to work but as the old adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, whereas there are jobs we are trained to do some we would rather avoid especially if they may have fatal results! This especially includes the feeding of meat and fish bones, it matters not if they be cooked or raw. The mouth of a carnivore (not bonivore) is designed to eat meat not bones, and these will, sooner or later, cause problems, from a mild upset tummy to a life threatening intestinal blockage or worse still a puncture. This may require emergency surgery to an animal in an already weakened condition or in shock. Please make educated choices about what you give your pets to eat.

ADANA - “El Camino sigue su curso” El grupo de ADANA que está haciendo El Camino desde la Costa del Sol a Santiago acaba de salir de Salamanca a principio de su quinta semana. La peregrinación con perros del refugio para animales abandonados ADANA le llevará 7 semanas en hacer 1200 km., van voluntarios de todo el mundo para llamar la atención sobre los derechos de los animales. Muchos de los peregrinos hacen el camino completo, aunque hay también quienes hacen una semana o incluso un día de peregrinación tan solo
para experimentar esta aventura. A través de la ruta, la cual incluye la Via de la Plata, otras protectoras de animales, muchos de ellos voluntarios han tenido un encuentro con aquellos que salieron de Estepona el 15 de Marzo. Particularmente la Protectora de Animales de Extremadura que le dieron la bienvenida y les ayudaron a reforzar la ley para la protección animal. En Mérida, 15 peregrinos, perros, sus seguidores y el equipo de filmación, todos juntos con Johanna Mayhofer
fueron recibidos por el Presidente de la Junta de Extremadura y el Alcalde en los alrededores del Palacio del Gobierno. La ruta que terminará en Santiago el 2 de Mayo puede ser seguida en www. adana.es/elcamino con experiencias diarias del viaje. Aquí también pueden ayudar a uno de los cuatro peregrinos a conseguir dinero para construir el nuevo refugio de ADANA, conocido como el Santuario.

The pilgrimage with dogs from the ADANA refuge for abandoned animals takes 7 weeks to cover the 1200 kms and includes volunteer walkers from all over the world focusing attention on the rights of animals. Many of the walkers have undertaken to complete the full journey whilst many are doing one week or even one day just to be involved in the adventure. All along the route, which includes the
Via de la Plata, other animal protection organisations, many of them voluntary have turned out to meet and welcome the band of travellers who left Estepona on March 15th. In particular the newly formed Federation of Animal Protectorates of Extremadura who have urged all their supporters to welcome the travellers and help to reinforce the application of the Law for Animal Protection.
