EDITORIAL
Dep Leg: MA -158-2006
¡Qué mes! Después de tantos nervios anticipados España finalmente ganó la Copa del Mundial. Tal y como la gente tomó las calles en celebración, era difícil, incluso como extranjero y seguidor de Inglaterra, no compartir el orgullo y la alegría colectiva. El impacto económico no se puede dejar a un lado, y esperemos que la racha de buena suerte continúe en los siguientes meses dándonos un gran empujón a los negocios locales. Para ver fotos de las celebraciones pueden ir a la página 29. El fútbol también nos puede dar un empujón y animar a la economía local con la reciente adquisición del Málaga CF por el jeque de Qatar Abdullah bin Nasser Al Ahmed Al Thani, con la promesa de millones de euros en inversiones, no sólo en el club sino también inversiones en la Costa del Sol, particularmente en Marbella. Un gran número de ciudades y pueblos locales celebran sus ferias de verano dentro de estas cuatro semanas, por ejemplo: Casares (del 29 de Julio al 1 de Agosto), Manilva (del 5 al 8 de Agosto), la feria Real de San Roque (del 11 al 16 de Agosto) y la de La Línea (del 16 al 25 de julio). En el momento de la publicación del periódico no disponemos de la programación, pero la publicaremos en cuanto la tengamos en nuestra página web www.theresident.es De hecho, en verano tenemos eventos y actividades casi todos los días, por ese motivo hemos creado nuestra página en Facebook www.facebook.com/The Resident.Spain para manteneros informados en todo momento. También se pueden ver muchas fotos y videos. Este es el perfecto complemento del duro trabajo del periódico y de la página web www. theresident.es. Mientras estamos en continua búsqueda de información de interés, puede que algunas veces se nos escape algo, así pues, si creéis tener algo interesante que decirnos podéis contactar con nosotros a través del correo electrónico editor@ theresident.eu Bien, eso es todo por este mes, esta editorial es un poco corta este mes, pero para serles sincero, es tiempo para mí de disfrutar un poco en la playa, así pues adiós por ahora…

What a month! After much nervous anticipation Spain finally fulfilled its sporting destiny by winning the Football World Cup. As people took to the streets in celebration, it was difficult, even as a foreigner and England supporter, not to share in the collective sense of pride and elation. The economic impact can also not be ignored, and hopefully the feel good factor will continue throughout the coming months giving a much need lift to local business. For pictures of the celebrations see page 29. Football is also providing a lift for the local economy from another source closer to home. The recent acquisition of Spain’s Primera Liga minnows, Malaga CF by the Qatari businessman Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser Al Ahmed Al Thani, with a promise of millions of euros of investment, not only in the club, but also on the Costa del Sol, particularly in Marbella. A number of local towns celebrate their summer ferias over the next four weeks, namely Casares from 29th July to 1st August, Manilva from 5th to 8th August, San Roque’s Royal Fair from 11th to 16th August, and La Linea 16th to 25th July. At the time of going to press detailed programmes were unavailable, but we will be publishing them online at www.theresident.es In facts summer gets into full swing everyday there are new events and activities being announced, which is why we have created our Facebook page at www. facebook.com/The Resident.Spain to help keep you up to date with what’s on.You can also find lots of photos and videos posted there. This is the perfect complement to the hard copy and The Resident website at www. theresident.es. Whilst we are constantly on the look out for items of interest, sometimes things slip through the net, so if you think we have missed something then let us know by email at editor@theresident.eu Well that’s me done for this month, this editorial is a bit short this month, but quite frankly it’s time I got myself off to the beach, so bye for now...

Protección Civil desaloja la playa de Torrecarbonera al detectarse un tiburón azula pocos metros de la orilla
Protección Civil pide a los bañistas que respeten las banderas rojas, tras realizar 78 rescates en sólo once días
Protección Civil de San Roque, a instancias de la Guardia Civil, ha procedido a evacuar la playa de Alcaidesa-Torrecarbonera al detectarse en las aguas un tiburón azul, nadando especialmente cerca de la costa en la zona del Faro. Tras izar la bandera roja, el personal de socorrismo y salvamento que presta servicio en la playa ha alertado a los bañistas de la presencia del escualo. Según ha informado Protección Civil, el pez fue detectado nadando en el agua sobre las 16.30 horas a pocos metros de la orilla. Tras dar
Un total de 70 curas y 78 rescates han sido realizados durante los once primeros días de funcionamiento del servicio de salvamento y socorrismo en las playas de San Roque. Desde Protección Civil se ha pedido a los usuarios de las playas que hagan caso de las indicaciones pertinentes, porque muchos de los rescates se hicieron mientras ondeaba la bandera roja, por lo que los bañistas no sólo pusieron en peligro sus propias vidas, sino también las de los socorristas que tuvieron que auxiliarles. Según la estadística de los servicios en las playas elaborada por Protección Civil de San Roque, la mayor parte de las acciones entre el jueves 1 y el domingo 11 de julio se concentraron en las playas de Torreguadiaro y Guadarranque. Así, en la primera se realizaron 48 curas por diversas razones (heridas, púas, picaduras de medusas...) y 34 rescates en el mar, mientras que en la segunda fueron 9 curas y 38 rescates. Además, el único traslado de un paciente a un centro sanitario se produjo también en Guadarranque. En cuanto al resto de playas, destaca la tranquilidad absoluta que reinó en Campamento (cero curas, traslados
conocimiento de los hechos a 112, Guardia Civil costera y Policía Nacional, los socorristas procedieron a la evacuación de los bañistas a instancias de la Guardia Civil. Al parecer, el tiburón se ha acercado a pocos metros de la orilla, por lo que varios bañistas han podido hacerles fotos. Según Protección Civil, el animal está nadando en bucles desde la zona del Faro de Alcaidesa hasta la parte de la playa perteneciente a La Línea, para luego volver a su punto de origen.
Civil Protection officers clear a San Roque beach after blue shark spotted just metres from the shore Officers from San Roque’s Civil Protection force, under instruction of the Guardia Civil ordered the evacuation of the AlcaidesaTorrecarbonera beach after a blue shark was spotted in the waters just off the shore. The red flag was immediately raised and lifeguards assisted in alerting bathers to the presence of the shark. The incident occurred around 4.30 pm on Tuesday, 12th July, when bathers spotted
the shark, which was close enough for several of them to take photographs. The fish swam in and out of the shoreline between the Faro de Alcaidesa and La Linea before eventually returning to its point of origin. Blue sharks are fairly common in the waters off Spain but it is rare for them to come so close inshore.
y rescates) y la calma de Sotogrande (sólo dos curas) y Puente Mayorga (dos curas y dos rescates). También fue positivo el balance en AlcaidesaTorrecarbonera (cuatro curas y dos rescates) y Cala Sardina (cinco curas y dos rescates). El edil responsable de Seguridad Ciudadana, José Luis Navarro Sampalo, ha subrayado “la necesidad de que los bañistas se comporten de una manera responsable. Si las banderas están rojas, no deben arriesgar sus vidas y las de los socorristas metiéndose en el agua, y si éstos les recomiendan que no lo hagan, deben comprender que es por su bien y hacerles caso. Se trata de tener un poco más de sentido común, porque el verano es largo y siempre hay tiempo de bañarse sin correr peligro. Hagamos entre todos que este año la temporada de playas en San Roque vuelva a ser un modelo de seguridad”. Desde el pasado 1 de julio, unas 60 personas prestan el servicio de socorrismo y salvamento en el litoral sanroqueño durante los meses de julio y agosto, entre socorristas, enfermeros, médicos... todos ellos coordinados desde Protección Civil.

Flaherty´s welcomes the summer in style Flaherty´s Bar & Grill Sotogrande celebrated the arrival of summer in style last night with a re-vamped terrace, new summer menu and fabulous drink promotions.

Lifeguards carry out 78 rescues in just 11 days A total of 70 bathers received treatment and some 78 had to be rescued during the first 11 days of lifeguard service on San Roques beaches. Lifeguard cover began at the beginning of July, and bathers are being urged to heed the warning flags, as many of the rescues were made whilst red flags were being flown, meaning that bathers were not only putting their own safety at risk but also that of their rescuers. Figures show that the majority of the actions were carried out on the Torreguadiaro and Guadarranque beaches, with the former seeing 48 bathers treated for various reasons such as jellyfish stings, injuries, spines, etc., and 34 sea rescues; whilst the latter saw nine people receiving treatment and 38 rescues, with one person requiring transfer to a health centre. Other beaches
saw just a few rescues, with Campamento lifeguards seeing no action whatsoever. The Councillor for Public Safety, José Luis Navarro Sampalo, stressed “the need for swimmers to behave in a responsible manner. If the flags are red, they should not risk their lives and those of rescuers by taking to the water, and , should understand that it is for their sake that the warning flags exist and should not ignore them. It’s about using a bit of common sense, the summer is long and there are always opportunities to bathe in safety. Since last July 1, about 60 people providing the first aid and rescue cover on San Roque’s beaches during the months of July and August, including lifeguards, nurses, doctors, etc., all coordinated by the Civil Protection.

Después de año y medio, se reabre el Paseo del Espigón del Puerto La Delegación Turismo y Medio Ambiente consiguen, tras varias semanas de negociaciones con la empresa Marina del mediterráneo, la apertura del acceso peatonal al espigón del puerto, para que nuestros ciudadanos y nuestros visitantes puedan pasear por dicho pantalán. Cabe recordar que este acceso
llevaba cerrado un año y medio, por lo que la apuesta a punto y el propio bloqueo se convertían en un trabajo árduo y complicado. Según nos han informado tanto Noelia López como Salvador Zotano, por motivos de seguridad se cerrará todos los días a partir de las 22:00h.

Duquesa Port’s breakwater reopens to the public Almost a year and a half ago local residents were dismayed when the breakwater in Duquesa was closed to the public. The breakwater was a popular stroll for residents and visitors alike, and there was great disappointment when it was fenced off and gated.
This week the local authorities have announced that, after weeks of negotiations with the port operator, Marinas del Mediterráneo, the gates will be opened, and once again the public can enjoy this amenity. For safety reasons the gates will be locked after 10 pm.

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 - the 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
Programme - Sabinillas Every 16th July sees 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
At midday there will be a mass held in the Plaza de Los Pescadores (Fishermen’s Square), during which the new ‘Corona de la Virgen’ will be blessed. From 1.30 pm there will be various children’s activities held on the beach in Sabinillas, around this time the coronation of the Queen’s and Ladies of the Virgen del Carmen will take place in the Fishermen’s
Square, followed by music and partying. At 7 pm the image of the Virgen will be borne down to the water’s edge where she will be embarked on the waiting fishing boat to be paraded up and down the coast, where she will meet the image from Castillo. Once back on land there will be a procession through the streets of Sabinillas, accompanied by the Istan Town Band before she is returned to the church. The party continues into the night with music and dancing in the square. In Castillo de la Duquesa the kids can enjoy the children’s entertainers from 1.30 pm in front of the church. At around 7 pm there will be a mass at the Stella Maris church in Castillo, with singing by the Santa Ana de Manilva Municipal Choir. After the Mass the Virgen is taken in procession, accompanied by the Manilva Town Band, to her waiting boat in Puerto de la Duquesa. From 10 pm there will be music and dancing into the early hours in Castillo to the bands “Latidos” and “Carnaval”.

Información Information
Costa Advice Bureau Unfair taxes on the purchase Spain. For the majority of residents and of properties this includes non residents who own more An additional tax bill is being presented to almost all property purchasers who have or are taking advantage of the many bargains and acquiring properties at knock down prices. At a time when the Spanish regional government should be assisting to boost this sector in a slow but probable recovery of this very important sector of the Costa del Sol commerce, they are in fact making it more difficult for owners to sell their homes. Frustrated Real Estate’s are battling against the surcharge passed onto their clients who have been able to acquire their homes in what has become a competitive market. These buyers declare the true purchase price and pay all the taxes due on the properties are then being penalised. The government is continuing to calculate the value of these properties on the valor catastral which had been increased by many town halls at the height of the property boom. Spanish property prices are at an all time low and yet the government has decided to continue to evaluate the tax on this inflated value and not on the true sale price.
Annual tax returns Many residents and nonresident home owners are still under the illusion that they do not need to make a tax declaration in
than one property in Spain, are obliged to present these annual statements to the tax authorities before the end of June. Non residents should complete their tax returns annually in December.
Communities The subject of communities and the problems faced by the same is still an issue open to much debate. The problems occur when either a community has to abide by unfair internal statutes written into the title deeds or because administrators and some presidents do not abide by the laws of the horizontal property act. Anguished home owners are often not aware of the many options available to their communities and believe that the administrators are in control when this is not the case. It is actually the title-holder themselves who run the community by either hiring or firing an administration company and voting out incompetent presidents. Any discontented owner should seek advice on the measures that can be taken to assist in problem solving.

Presentación en Málaga de la Semana Internacional de Cine Fantástico de Estepona El cine Albéniz acogerá por primera vez de forma paralela a Estepona la undécima edición de la Semana de Cine Fantástico de la Costa del Sol que se celebrará del 8 al 11 de septiembre y donde podrán verse interesantes propuestas de este consolidado certamen internacional. Además, homenajeará al fallecido director, actor y guionista, Paul Naschy, impulsor y coordinador general de este evento. El delegado municipal de Cultura de Málaga, Miguel Briones, el alcalde de Estepona, David Valadez, la concejala de Cultura de Estepona, Silvia Cabrera y el director de la Semana de Cine Fantástico de la Costa del Sol, Julio Preces han presentado hoy la programación que podrá verse en las salas del Cine dentro de las actividades de la XI Semana de Cine Fantástico de la Costa del Sol. Según el delegado municipal de Cultura de Málaga, Miguel Briones, este año se hace una doble muestra del certamen, una en Estepona y otra en la capital malagueña. “La idea no es crear una sede paralela. La sede es la Costa del Sol y la matriz es Estepona” indicó. También comentó que el
acercamiento entre Estepona y Málaga supone la puesta marcha de iniciativas culturales que favorezcan el proyecto de Capitalidad Cultural para el año 2016. Del mismo modo, la concejala de Cultura de Estepona, Silvia Cabrera, declaró que desde Estepona consideran que “es fundamental que nos convirtamos en Capital Cultural de la Unión Europea”. En el Cine Albéniz podrán verse parte de las proyecciones del certamen como ‘Bitch Slap’, la mini serie ‘Fear Clinic’ o un homenaje al cine fantástico argentino y a Naschy. Dentro de las novedades en la preapertura del Festival de Cine que tendrá lugar el día cinco de septiembre será el espectáculo del mentalista Anthony Blake titulado ‘Más cerca’. El alcalde de Estepona, David Valadez ha declarado que Paul Naschy “ha sido una pieza fundamental en la organización e iniciativa del festival. También explicó que la financiación del Festival contará con la colaboración de la iniciativa privada y que no supondrá “ningún desembolso económico para el Ayuntamiento de Estepona”. Por su parte, el director de la
Semana de Cine Fantástico de la Costa del Sol, Julio Preces ha informado que una de las galardonadas del festival será la cantante Alaska, que por su música y trabajo se le entregará el galardón Waldemar Daninsky, que premia a personalidades del mundo artístico que apoyan el género fantástico. Además, se presentarán libros y cómics como ‘La Marca de Frankenstein’, ‘Nancy in Hell’, ‘Terror bajo las aguas’ o ‘Alaric de Marnac’, en la FNAC de Málaga y Marbella. Preces ha comentado que este año hay más actividades que en la edición anterior. Dentro de las exposiciones se exhibirá un recorrido sobre la trayectoria humana y cinematográfica del actor y director Paul Naschy, además se mostrará la segunda ‘Frankenstein, El mito’, material diverso sobre el universo cinematográfico que rodea al mundo de uno de los monstruos clásicos más conocidos en el mundo. Otras actividades paralelas que el Festival de cine ofrecerá en Estepona son las diversas actuaciones musicales en diferentes escenarios la muestra. Además de fiestas temáticas, concurso de cortosexpress y de dibujos sobre
Frankenstein entre otros. Esta muestra lleva diez años celebrándose en la ciudad de Estepona y este año girará en torno a la figura de Frankenstein que ilustra el cartel de la muestra, obra del
diseñador tinerfeño Daniel Fumero. La clausura del festival estará a cargo del presentador Alonso Caparrós y la orquesta sinfónica de Málaga.

Presentation in Malaga of XI Costa del Sol Fantasy Film Week For the first time this year’s eleventh edition of Estepona’s annual horror and fantasy film festival will be held both in Estepona and in Malaga City’s Albeniz Cinema. In an official presentation in Malaga this week it was announced that the XI Costa del Sol Fantasy Film Week, as it will be known, will be celebrated in the two centres from the 8th to 11th September with the major screenings taking place in the Albeniz Cinema and related activities being held in various locations in Estepona. “The aim” said Malaga’s Culture Delegate, Miguel Briones, was

not to create a parallel event but to build on the existing festival, with the venue being the Costa del Sol, with Estepona at its heart. He cited the collaboration between Malaga and Estepona, particularly in the matter of support for Malaga’s bid to become 2016 Capital of Culture, as another reason for the joint venture. A key element of the festival will be a homage to the late Paul Naschy who, in the words of Estepona Mayor, David Valadez, was instrumental in organising the festival over the last ten years. Among the screenings will be ‘Bitch Slap’ and the mini series
‘Fear Clinic’, and a number of awards will be presented including the Waldemar Daninsky award for the singer Alaska. Festival director, Julio Peces, pointed out that the new format for the festival removes the financial burden from Estepona’s public coffers, with the private sector providing much of the funding. Other activities include presentations of books and comics such as ‘Frankenstein: The Myth, ‘Nancy in Hell’, ‘Terror under Water’ and ‘Alaric of Marnac’, exhibitions and lectures, theme parties competitions and musical performances, including a gala spectacular by the Malaga

Con la llegada este año de su vigésima edición, ADANA celebrará una feria muy especial el domingo 19 de septiembre en el Palacio de Congresos de Estepona. Habrá cinco categorías de competición de obediencia, cinco de agilidad y otras diez para otras competiciones variadas, incluyendo aquellas para perros que nunca antes hayan participado en una competición y también para cachorros. La feria contará con un buen número de puestos en los que se podrán adquirir productos para mascotas, así como un bar y un puesto de comidas y café. Por primera vez, será un espacio cubierto el escenario para la feria, que en las pasadas 19 ediciones se celebró al aire libre.
Programa festivo Viernes 16: 11:00 horas: Cucañas marítimas en el Puerto Pesquero. Pruebas de natación masculina y femenina.
11:30 horas: Concurso de Remienda y Palangre. 12:00 horas: Regatas de Botes a remo. 14:00 horas: Entrega de premios de las distintas pruebas en la Lonja Pesquera. 14:30 horas: Paella de Arroz a la Marinera en la Lonja Pesquera, a gentileza de la Cofradía de Pescadores, para sus afiliados. 20:00 horas: Tradicional Procesión de la Venerada Imagen de Ntra. Sra. del Carmen Coronada.
Virgen del Carmen festival - Estepona Friday, 16th. Local holiday in Estepona At 10 am there will be a Holy Mass at the Virgen del Carmen church.

Primer incendio del verano Aproximadamente 40 casas fueron evacuadas en la urbanización Puerto Romana en Estepona, en la zona del río Padrón, después de que se ocasionara el fuego en un descampado ya por la tarde. El viento fuerte de poniente dificultó el trabajo y control del fuego, obligando a desalojar a 200 personas. Afortunadamente nadie sufrió daños y el fuego se controló más tarde.

“Es fantástico que por primera vez no tengamos que estar pendientes del tiempo o de los incendios forestales”, comentó David McNally, que dirige la organización del evento. “A lo largo de estos años, la organización de la feria se ha visto afectada por lluvias torrenciales, temperaturas extremas demasiado altas para los perros o, el año pasado, un incendio en el lugar donde se celebraba la feria solo unos días antes del evento.” Este año, los principales protagonistas de la feria serán los niños y sus perros: los más pequeños tendrán la oportunidad de mostrar el talento y las habilidades de sus mascotas. También está prevista una exhibición de perros-policía que crecieron o pasaron por ADANA. La XX Feria Canina de ADANA abrirá sus puertas a las 10 de la mañana, para que los asistentes tengan tiempo de inscribir a sus perros en las diferentes competiciones, que comenzarán a las 11 en punto. La entrada a la feria costará 5€ para adultos, aunque los niños que vayan acompañados entrarán gratis. La inscripción en competiciones cuesta 4€, y puede realizarse ya rellenando el formulario que puede encontrarse en clínicas veterinarias o en la página web de ADANA: www.adana.es
En las tareas participaron tres personas entre técnicos y agentes, 25 especialistas de extinción y dos helicópteros. Alrededor de las 18.50 horas, el fuego quedó controlado. Este invierno tan lluvioso ha ocasionado una gran vegetación que con el calor, puede que los bomberos estén ocupados este verano, esperemos que no sea ese el caso. Las autoridades piden precaución.
20th ADANA Dog Show
First blaze of the summer Some 40 homes were evacuated in the Puerto Romana urbanisation in Estepona’s Rio Padron area after fire started on wasteground late in the afternoon. The strong westerly winds made the emergency services’ job more difficult and at the height of the blaze around 200 personnel were involved in combating the fire. Fortunately nobody was injured and the fire
brought under control later that evening. INFOCO, the specialist wildfire unit, deployed four firefighting helicfopters, two seaplanes along with coordination aircraft. The wet winter has led to an abundance of vegetation this year which, with the hot weather, means the firefighters will be in for a busy summer, and the public are asked to take extra care.
Only two years after the foundation of ADANA, the animal rescue charity, the first dog show for mixed breeds and other dogs was staged in Estepona. This year the show reaches 20 and plans a very special event. On Sunday 19 September the 20th show will be staged in the Palacio de Congresos in Estepona for the first time. There will be 5 obedience classes, 5 agility classes and 10 variety and novelty classes. A wide selection of commercial stalls will offer all sorts of pet related and other goodies. There will also be a cafe and a bar. “It is wonderful not to have to worry about the weather or forest fires this year”, said David McNally, the show organiser. “Over the years we have had to deal with biblical
rains which washed away the access roads, torrid heat which was too much for the dogs and last year we had the forest fire on the site just a few days before the show.” The main focus for this year is children and their dogs. So there are several opportunities for junior handlers to show off their skills. We hope to have a demonstration of mainly ex ADANA dogs who now work for the police and armed services. The doors open at 10am for registration and judging starts at 11.00 on the dot. Admission is 5 € for adults but accompanied children get in free. Entry to classes is 4€. Entry forms are available from vets and on the web site www.adana.es

Una de las regiones en España de elaboración del vino es la prestigiosa Ribera del Duero en el centro de España, conocida como una de las mejores y exclusivas en vinos tintos. Viñedos a lo largo del río Duero, justo a 120 km al norte de Madrid. Ribera del Duero es una tierra de contrastes. Inviernos duros, veranos calurosos y con una altitud idónea para la crianza y elaboración del Tinto Fino, conocido como Tempranillo, cuya producción de vino es de un 95 por ciento.
El corazón de Ribera del Duero es la Milla de Oro, situada en la carretera nacional que lleva de Aranda de Duero a Valladolid, congrega en sus márgenes, y casi unas junto a otras, a algunas de las bodegas más valiosas de España: Vega Sicilia, Arzuaga, Abadía Retuerta, Teófilo Reyes, Viña Mayor, Protos y Aalto, entre otras, tienen sus bodegas y viñedos asomados a esta vía. Son instalaciones, muchas de ellas, espectaculares
Spanish wine regions - Ribera de Duero One of Spain’s truly legendary winemaking regions, the pristinely rural Ribera de Duero in central Spain is home to some of the world’s best and most exclusive red wines. Laid out on a sprawling plateau along the banks of the Duero River, just 120km north of Madrid, Ribera del Duero is a land of extremes. Biting winters, sun-bleached summers and high altitudes work handin-hand with clayey, silty and limestone soils to create the ideal conditions for Tinto Fino, the local name for the Tempranillo grape, which makes up 95 percent of wine production. The heart of the Ribera del Duero is the Milla de Oro, or Golden Mile, a short strip of
land hugging the Duero River (which runs west toward Portugal, slicing through the Spanish wine regions of Toro and Rueda before becoming the Duoro and nourishing Portugal’s Duoro and Porto regions). The Milla de Oro looks no different than the countless rows of vineyards cutting across the landscape nearby, but this is the home of iconic wineries like Vega Sicilia, Pingus, Abadia Retuerta and Mauro. It was the unique terroir here that first proved that this oftentimes harsh and arid region was capable of producing exquisitely expressive reds that would become renowned worldwide.

La FERIA de TODOS Llega la feria, las luces blancas parpadean y suenan a sonrisas de niños. El viento, adolescente, en una noria, se enamora por primera vez. ¿Quién no ha sentido el pulso de la pasión en una feria? “El año pasado conocí a un muchacho de Ronda que era guapísimo...” “Que los primos vienen de otros pueblos cercanos...” “Este año, no me pongo yo esos zapatos tan incómodos...” “Pues yo, este año lo que me he propuesto es divertirme más...” Recuerdo la caseta de antaño, el baile seguro del adulto en la plaza; en la fuente, una orquesta sin trampa de saxofón virtuoso; el tacón de la novia, medio roto de pasodoble y tango, y el sudor del galán en la madrugada; los niños, sigilosos, que con cuidado nos colábamos en la caseta para cantar victoria y enredarnos así con los mayores. La feria de ayer era una plaza, una fuente, el pescadito frito y la uva recién cortada, un melón jugoso de fatiga obrera, el festival flamenco, cantaores del sueño quebrando en seguidilla y bulerías a la luna de septiembre; la feria era un sabor de pueblo y de esperanza, una bienvenida eufórica: los niños, los niños los primeros, y al atardecer con el abuelo a la feria. “Tiremos a los globos, a ver si gano un juguete.” “Niño, eso es muy difícil para mí. Más fácil puede ser que me toque algo en la tómbola.” Tira pichón de escopeta
Amigos son infancia: tiovivos sin feria sobre trenes sonoros de la naturalidad. vieja y desequilibrada. “Puedo ganar un regalo si rompo tres palillos de diente.” Un grupo de muchachas pasean alegres y revoltosas con trajes típicos, enredadas en confetis, con banderas de colores en las manos, con la cinta brillante de Reina y Damas de las fiestas, pero ellas piensan que todavía queda mucha noche por delante, son jóvenes y estarán hasta la madrugada, porque hoy es el último día de feria, quieren unirse al bullicio de algunos turistas decididos a dormir bajo el cielo. La alborada se enciende de churros y coloquios. La feria, la de ayer, la de hoy, la que cada año llega, el tiovivo y la noria protagonistas de la plaza. Llega la feria, luces blancas, bombillas parpadean, suenan a sonrisas de niños. Y hoy, que continúe este nuevo festejo en voluntad de pueblo alegre; algunos familiares y amigos que ya se fueron, pero siguen rondando memorias de la vida: una feria más sin Pablo –las fotos que hizo a tantos montados en su caballo, el caballo de Pablo–, fotógrafo amparado por el flash del amor, y que sigue vivo en el corazón y en la memoria de un amigo que a través de la palabra muestra su propio retrato de ternura.

Better talk to the bank Many families are having serious financial problems and cannot afford their monthly mortgage payments. If this moment arrives it is always better talk to the bank. Although everybody knows that banks only want money from customers, we recommend all our clients to inform the bank on the situation and try to negotiate or find a solution. What nobody must not do is ignoring the situation and do not contact or inform the bank. All banks start legal actions to repose properties after 3 months without receiving mortgage payments or news from customers. Once this legal court procedure is started by the bank, it is much more complicated to negotiate a solution with the bank, as the case is in the hands of the legal department. Also it is costly to stop it as the customer must pay not only the arrears but also the court expenses and legal fees of the solicitor of the bank. Please note that as legal fees for this court cases are based on the value of the property, we can be talking about lawyers’ bills of several thousand Euros. It is essential to avoid a potential court case. There are different possibilities to sort out the situation:
a) Re-negotiate with the bank the financial conditions of the mortgage. Customers can negotiate with their banks the change or improvement of their mortgage conditions to adapt them to their new personal and financial circumstances. It can be agreed a period of 1 or 2 years of only interest payments (called “carencia”); extension of the period of the mortgage to reduce the amount of monthly payments, negotiated a reduction of interests, etc. b) Give the property back to the bank in payment of the mortgage (called “dación en pago”). Banks are always reluctant to this solution as they do not want to become owners of real estate properties, but many times it is the only possibility when customers can not afford mortgage payments and do not want to the property. In these cases, banks request a valuation on the property (to be paid by the customer) in order to know the value of the property and study the transaction, and approve this solution. As I said before, it is always better talk to the bank. In all my years of professional experience I have seen many cases in which the lack of communication and information between banks and
27
SOS Médicos 24 HS customers created big financial problems which could had been sorted out easily by sitting down, discuss the situation and using the legal ways available. In case you were facing financial problems and cannot afford your mortgage payments, you should contact your bank to try to find a solution before further legal actions is started. In your dealings with the bank it is always better that you are duly represented by a solicitor who swill speed things and will be able to negotiate a better solution on your behalf. Please also note that 2 alternatives above mentioned (renegotiation of mortgage conditions and giving the property back to the bank) require the signature of public deeds in front of the Notary, so it is important that you are duly represented or assisted at the notary offices when signing documents.

Con una sola llamada al número especial:+34 951 27 72 72 puedes arreglar que un médico experimentado y completamente equipado te visite en cualquier lugar donde deseas- sea si es en tu casa, en tu hotel o incluso en el campo de golf. “La filosofía de SOS Médicos 24 HS es una de atención personal, dice Ingrid Davids Blumink, el fundador holandés y el Director General de la empresa. “Tuve una casa aquí, en esta magnífica región, desde hace más de 10 años y quise dar algo a la comunidad que me ha dado la bienvenida. Quise introducir un tipo de asistencia médica de 24 horas nueva y moderna tanto para los expatriados como yo, como para los residentes españoles, que ofrece una ayuda sensible, discreta y apropiada cuando es necesario. No es la costumbre en España tener la asistencia médica en la casa del cliente, y el año pasado introduje un nuevo tipo de servicio de médico a domicilio para rellenar este hueco.” Luego, ella añade: “la calidad de SOS Médicos 24 HS es que no tienes que venir o traer a tus hijos en nuestro consultorio cuando nos necesitas, ya que nuestro médico te va a visitar en donde estás, las 24 horas del día. Se ha comprobado ser un gran éxito, ya que se nos
puede llamar también para casos de enfermedad ligera. Nuestros médicos están disponibles a responder de inmediato, te van a visitar y van a entregar una ayuda discreta y personal. Con ellos van a llevar todo el equipamiento médico necesario, como un desfibrilador portable, un ECG portable, medicamentos y todo el equipamiento médico para permitirles actuar de inmediato y de manera apropiada. A través de una cita, nuestros socios valorables también pueden visitar a uno de nuestros médicos en nuestra oficina totalmente equipada en Manilva, abajo en la A-7 (km. 139).” “Todos nuestros médicos están registrados con el Colegio Médico de España y también trabajan en consultorios generales y hospitales de España.” “Entregamos, a través de nuestro equipo médico dedicado y a través de nuestras tele-operadoras totalmente preparadas un servicio eficiente las 24 horas que le entrega tranquilidad a cualquier miembro o a cualquier persona que nos utiliza en una ocasión singular. Sea si estás de vacaciones, te acabas de mudar aquí, has llegado aquí hace años o siempre has vivido aquí, SOS Médicos 24 HS va a cuidar de tí y de tu familia.”
With one phone call to their special number: +34 951 27 72 72 you can arrange for an experienced and fully equipped doctor to visit you anywhere you require whether it is in your home, at your hotel or even on the golf course. “The philosophy of SOS Médicos 24 HS is one of personal care”, says Ingrid Davids Blumink, the Dutch founder and General Director of the company. “I have had a house here in this lovely region for over 10 years and wanted to give something back to the community that has welcomed me. I wanted to introduce a new, modern kind of 24 hour medical assistance for both expats like myself and Spanish residents that offers sensitive, discreet and appropriate help whenever necessary. It’s not the usual way in Spain, to have medical attendance to a clients home, and last year I introduced a new kind of doctor at home service to fill this gap.” And, she adds: “the strength of SOS Médicos 24 HS is that you don’t have to bring yourself or your kids into the practice when you need us, as our doctor will visit you wherever you are, 24 hours a day. It’s proven
to be a big success, because we can also be called for minor illnesses. Our doctors are available to respond immediately, they will visit you and will provide discreet and personal help. On board they will have all the necessary medical equipment, like a portable defibrillator, portable ECG, medications and all medical equipment to enable them to act immediately and appropriately. By appointment, our valued members can also visit one of our doctors in our fully equipped office in Manilva, just down the road at the A-7 (km. 139).” “All of our doctors are registered with the Colegio Médico in Spain and also work within general practices and hospitals in Spain.” “We provide, with our dedicated medical staff and fully trained emergency line telephone- operators, an efficient 24 hour service that gives everyone who is a member or who uses it for just a one off occasion, complete peace of mind. Whether you are on holiday, have just moved here, moved out years ago or have always lived here, SOS Médicos 24 HS will look after you and your family.”
Britons missing out on £101M each year on international money transfers
£€ Poor bank rates and high charges for foreign exchange transactions mean individuals need to be savvier when transferring money overseas. Research by Moneycorp reveals that Brits are potentially losing over £101m a year by not shopping around for the best deals when transferring money abroad. Furthermore, uncompetitive exchange rates and high bank charges are costing individuals a lot of money, despite a concerted effort by most to reduce their outgoings on luxury and even staple items. David Kerns, Head of Personal Clients at Moneycorp, comments: “While many individuals are visiting comparison websites more frequently, checking
voucher code sites and consulting online consumer forums before purchasing goods in order to save money, this mindset doesn’t seem to have extended to foreign exchange. As a result, individuals are missing out on a very large sum of money they could be saving, by transferring funds overseas through a foreign exchange specialist rather than a bank. Not surprisingly, high street banks are cashing in as a result of this surprisingly apathetic approach.” People buying or selling property overseas and people emigrating or repatriating will be particularly affected, though this issue will affect all Brits who are transferring money overseas. People who own additional properties abroad and make regular mortgage and/or utilities payments will also be badly affected, as every transfer is open to individual transfer charges, in addition to exchange rates. Data from the UK’s number one property website, Rightmove Overseas, reveals that the average house price in the Costa del Sol
in Spain is currently €369,860.68. With a deposit of 10% (€36,986), using a high street bank rather than Moneycorp would cost an individual, on average, an extra £558 on their deposit alone. An individual who wants to transfer a lump sum of £100,000 to an account in Europe would lose out on an average of €1,690 by using their bank for the transfer into euros. David Kerns concludes: “Despite the UK coming out of recession recently, individuals shouldn’t be lining the pockets of their bank managers and it’s in their best interest to maximise their investments. Prior to making any overseas payments, we always advocate that people shop around to get the best rates possible.” For more information on how Moneycorp can help get you more currency than from your bank contact Michael Campbell in the Costa del Sol office on +34 951 319 700 or email michael. campbell@moneycorp.com Always quote The Resident.

Vets Corner La CE Alerta a Viajeros Sobre Transporte de Mascotas y Compra de Alimentos La Comisión Europea (CE) ha publicado hoy, con motivo del comienzo del periodo de vacaciones de verano, un conjunto de consejos a los viajeros sobre las exigencias y limitaciones previstas en las reglas comunitarias en el transporte de mascotas y en la compra de alimentos fuera de la UE. Asimismo, Bruselas también ha dado orientaciones sobre los derechos de los pasajeros a la hora de reclamar frente a los operadores turísticos ó las líneas aéreas. La CE recuerda, en el caso de los alimentos, que es ilegal importar carne, leche, quesos y otros derivados animales de países no comunitarios para consumo propio, ni tampoco para regalo. Como excepción, la UE sólo permite comprar ese tipo de productos de Croacia, Groenlandia o Islandia, hasta un máximo de 10 kilogramos ó, hasta un tope de 2 kilos, si se trata de leche en polvo para niños, alimentos infantiles ó preparados especiales por razones médicas. La CE ha recordado que está autorizada la importación de pescado y de ciertos
mariscos, si no exceden los 20 kilos de peso y de miel, si no sobrepasa los 2 kilos. Estas normas no se aplican para los productos transportados entre países de la UE ó procedentes de Andorra, Suiza, Liechtenstein, Noruega, San Marino ó Suiza. Bruselas advierte a los turistas de que el incumplimiento de estas restricciones pueden suponer “graves retrasos en las fronteras”, la destrucción del producto e incluso “multas”, y recuerda que la prohibición está justificada por razones sanitarias. Por otra parte, la CE ha remarcado que los viajeros que quieran trasladar sus perros, gatos o hurones deben haberlos vacunado contra la rabia, si bien para entrar en Malta, Irlanda, Reino Unido o Suecia el animal deberá haber sido sometido a tratamientos adicionales. Asimismo, la CE recomienda verificar si el país de destino permite o no la entrada de cachorros o de animales muy jóvenes. Para los viajeros que llegan de un país no comunitario, la UE exige que su mascota esté sometida a una cuarentena de tres meses, tras su
The EC Tips on Travelling with Pets and Food Purchases in Non-EU Countries The European Commission (EC) has published, to mark the beginning of the summer holiday period, a set of tips for travellers about the requirements and limitations, which are covered in the Community rules on the transporting of pets and pet food purchases outside the EU . In addition, Brussels has also provided guidance on the rights of passengers at the time of making a claim against the tour operators or airlines. The EC points out, in the case of food, it is illegal to import meat, milk, cheese and other animal products from non EU countries, neither for our own consumption, nor as a gift. As an exception, the EU only allows the purchase of such products in Croatia, Greenland, or Iceland, up to a maximum of 10 kilograms or up to a limit of 2 kilos in the case of powdered milk for children, baby food or special preparations for medical reasons. The EC allows the importation of certain fish and seafood, if you do not exceed 20 kilos in weight and honey, if you have no more than 2 kilos. These rules do not apply to products transported between EU countries or from Andorra, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, San Marino, or Switzerland. Brussels warns tourists that any breach of these restrictions may constitute serious delays at borders, the destruction of the product and even fines, emphasizing that
the ban is justified on health grounds. Moreover, the EC has stressed that travelers who want to travel with their dogs, cats and/or ferrets must have them vaccinated against rabies, but to enter or return to Malta, Ireland, the UK or Sweden, the animal has been subjected to additional treatments and/or tests. The EC recommended to check if the country of destination allows the entry of puppies or very young animals. For travellers arriving from a country outside the Community, the EU requires that your pet is subject to a quarantine of three months after vaccination, before the transfer. Within the EU a “pet passport “ exists, for animals that are transported within the Community, that their owners may obtain from national authorities or veteriarians. It also recalls the Brussels regulation on passenger rights in the EU, in case of problems with an airline, a tour operator or car rental company. If there is no agreement between the passenger and the company , the EC recommended to go to a consumer organization or the European Consumer Centre of nationality , if not able to solve a problem with another company in that country.

vacunación, antes del traslado. Sólo para los animales que son transportados dentro de territorio comunitario, la UE establece un “pasaporte” especial, que sus dueños podrán obtener dirigiéndose a las autoridades nacionales. Por otra parte, la CE recuerda la conveniencia de un uso apropiado de protección solar y de productos que resguardan frente a los rayos UVA y UVB. Asimismo, Bruselas recuerda la regulación sobre derechos del pasajero en la UE, en caso de problemas con una línea aérea, un operador turístico o una empresa de alquiler de coches. En caso de no haber acuerdo entre el viajero y la compañía, la CE recomienda acudir a una organización de consumidores ó al Centro Europeo del Consumidor de su nacionalidad, si no ha conseguido solucionar un contratiempo con una empresa de otro país.
‘Twitter’, now also for dogs Now you can know what your dog is thinking. The popular phrase ‘If only they could talk’, for decades uttered in respect of man’s best friend, could finally become a reality thanks to Twitter and Mattel. The concept of Twitter is so simple the idea being that anyone can use it. So much so that even dogs may do so through a curious device designed by toy company Mattel. ‘Puppy Tweets’, the name given this new system, interprets the activities of your favourite pet through a sound and motion sensor attached to the collar. The sensor uses a Wifi connection with a a receiver on your PC to monitor the pet’s activity. Simply create an account for your best friend on Twitter and wait for the updates. The ‘Puppy Tweets’ is the first in a line of Mattel toys designed for adults who appear in 2010.

Si el animal está dando vueltas como un loco por la casa, en su Twitter aparecerá: “Finalmente alcancé la cola que estaba persiguiendo...”, según ha avanzado la cadena CNN. Por otro lado, si el perro está durmiendo, en la red social se leerá: “A veces siento que mis patas están permanente en ‘modo siesta’”. El ‘Puppy Tweets’ es el primero de una línea de juguetes de Mattel pensados para adultos que aparecerán durante 2010.
