OLIVIA VALERE, the owner of iconic Marbella club Babilonia Palace died aged 76 at her home in Paris on Wednesday, June 8. The businesswoman, known as the Queen of nightlife for more than four decades, and with clubs in Paris and Marbella, reportedly died after a battle with stomach cancer. Tributes to Olivia have flooded in from across the Costa del Sol community. Martyn Wood of Big M Productions told the Euro Weekly News: “She was an expert at attracting celebrities visiting Marbella to her club Babilonia Palace (more commonly called Olivia Valere’s disco). “Back in the 90s it was THE place to be seen and to get a dancefloor side table cost mega bucks, BUT if you sat there everyone saw you.

A Myth of Spain and Andalucia has died. “Rest in Peace Olivia.”

Silly Season
HOW SILLY: It’s an offence not to wear a top in public in Marbella.
SILLY SEASON has started early this year as a video was posted on social media showing a scantily clad woman climbing through the sun roof of a fast‐moving car on the A‐7 heading to‐ wards San Pedro on Saturday June 11. She was then filmed again at a roundabout near Guadalmina Baja and the Spanish car’s number plate was clear to see. Looks like a relatively easy investigation for the Guardia Civil and one person who saw the video commented “I recognise the roundabout just not the ass! Lol x” Not to be outdone, another idiot, this time male and fully clothed was filmed the following day also on top of a car speeding along the A‐7 to‐ wards Malaga and through the Nagüeles tunnel. Police will have more trouble tracking down this driver as the number plate was obscured.

Lions fashion show THIS year, once again, the La Cala de Mijas Lions Club held their famous Spring Fair and Fashion Show. All of the clothes being modelled by their enthusi‐ astic volunteers came from the Lions Charity Shop in La Cala. It was a perfect spring day at Miraflores Tennis Club in early June and John Sharples was great fun introducing the various outfits.
More than €2,300 was raised for the Lions chari‐ ties and many thanks were given to the volunteers themselves and to all the sponsors, stall holders and those who supported the event. Everyone was amazed at the various great labels being sold at such low prices, so don’t forget to visit the shop in Calle Torremolinos for that bargain outfit plus there are plenty of books to enjoy reading in the summer sun.

Life savers LOCAL POLICE officers in Fuen‐ girola saved the life of an 88‐ year‐old man left hanging from his balcony. The incident occurred on the morning of Sunday, June 12, when a police patrol in the Los Boliches area of the town ob‐ served an elderly person hang‐ ing from the first‐floor balcony of a block. They immediately stopped their vehicle, and while one offi‐ cer stopped the traffic, his part‐ ner climbed a tree to try and reach the old man. The policeman managed to secure the octogenarian by wrapping his arms around him, but quickly realised that it would need the help of another person to haul him back inside the property. A taxi driver who was working in the area climbed to the balcony and be‐ tween the two of them they managed to lift the man back to the safety of his home. It turned out that the old man had been attempting to fix some broken tiles on his bal‐ cony and somehow tripped and fell over the railing.

My Blue Badge = My Freedom BREXIT may have changed many things, from voting rights to the exchange rate. ONE of the things the UK’s departure from the European Union has not changed however is the health problems many UK nationals living abroad face daily. And nor should Brexit affect rights for the disabled. Health is universal, unaffected by political leanings or country borders. And that is why the Euro Weekly News has put together a campaign to push the UK and Spanish governments to work together to secure the same rights for British Blue Badge holders that they had before Brexit. Thousands of UK nationals either living in or visiting Spain had previously been able to use their blue disabled badges to park freely and accessibly due to an informal agreement between the two countries. Since Brexit, negotiations had been ongoing between the UK and Spain over whether to continue this agreement, securing rights for some of the most vulnerable Britons living in Spain. The British embassy in Spain told the EWN: “The mutual recognition of Blue Badges across the EU has always taken place on an informal basis at the discretion of member states. For UK Nationals resident in Spain the situation hasn’t changed as a result of Brexit.” In September 2021 however, the UK government announced that Blue Badges would no longer be recognised across Spain, either making parking more difficult or risking fines for thousands of people. An embassy spokesperson has now advised: “If you have a UK Blue Badge and live in Spain,
UK BLUE BADGES: Are no longer recognised in Spain.
you must return it to the original UK issuing authority. You can apply for a new Spanish disabled parking card. The process is different in each region of Spain. Contact your local town hall or social services department for further information.” For many pensioners and disabled their car is their lifeline, giving them access to shops, doctor’s visits, and all important social contact with their community however. Cutting off this access, especially post-Covid, is making life harder for many elderly and disabled. Others, with limited access to Spanish ad-
ministrative assistance, are daunted by the prospect of now having to apply for the Spanish equivalent. That’s why the Euro Weekly News would like you to get involved pushing the British government to work with their Spanish equivalents on a resolution. Help to make this resolution the right one by signing our petition at euroweeklynews.com/ 2022/06/14/blue-badges and by sharing our message as widely as possible. Thank you.

Benahavis evacuated THE first major forest fire on the Costa del Sol broke out in the Pujerra area of the Sierra Bermeja on Wednesday June 8. Due to the high winds, it spread quickly and kept reignit‐ ing which led to more than 3,000 people being evacuated from the village of Benahavis (many of whom are British) and having to stay either in ho‐ tels or the San Pedro Municipal tent. As usual, many local resi‐ dents offered assistance either with short term accommoda‐ tion for those evacuated or transportation and caring for pets and horses. Although there were no civilian casual‐ ties, three firefighters were hospitalised with burns and an‐ other with smoke inhalation, but all have now been released and are either recuperating or able to return to work.

Pinar del Rey DUE to repair work on the access road to the Pinar del Rey in San Roque, it will be closed to traffic until Friday June 24, although visitors may still visit the natural park on foot. The need for repair has been caused by the roots of the pines systematically lifting up the cobblestones thus causing potholes and a novel solution has been found. At a cost of €376,000 the entire 2.7‐kilometre length will be replaced with a brand‐new material.

NEW YORK: Fabian Picardo addressed the United Nations on June 13.
On this occasion however, in line with Spain’s current more laid‐back position, its representative made a short speech in which he called for the UK to comply with Com‐ mittee recommendations to resolve the situation through discussion. Picardo however made it clear that whilst he was pre‐ pared to work with Gibral‐ tar’s neighbours, there was
no question that any option, other than for the Rock to be delisted was acceptable. He repeated his regular re‐ quest that members of the Committee ‐ which was hap‐ py to pass its opinions ‐ should actually visit Gibraltar to see for themselves the sit‐ uation and the determina‐ tion that Gibraltarians had to maintain their current rela‐ tionship with the UK.

ARCH helps Seprona AS President of ARCH (the An‐ dalucian Rescue Centre for Horses) Jill Newman Rogers travelled to Huelva earlier this month to the famous El Rocio pilgrimage. This three‐day event is famous throughout Spain for its size and spectacle, combining religion and fiesta. Thousands upon thousands of participants, arrive in traditional dress on horseback or with beautifully decorated floats pulled by horses or mules. While the humans spend their weekend enjoying the celebra‐ tions it is often a stressful time for the animals and in the past ARCH has been made aware of too many cases of cruelty, often resulting from ignorance. Jill and Steffi, another ARCH volunteer and a qualified farri‐ er, joined animal rights lawyer A r i t z T o r i b i o t o a s s i s t S E‐ PRONA (the animal welfare arm of the Guardia Civil), vet‐ erinarians and the Local Police to monitor the condition of

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING THERE are so many things that we take for granted and breathing is one of them. Too often it’s only when they’re lacking that
Breathe easy we realise how much we needed or appreciated them; only then do we re‐ alise perhaps their signifi‐ cance.
From when my son was born until he was five years old he suffered from acute bronchiolitis and we spent almost every weekend in the emergency room with his high fevers and inability to breathe. Breathalysers and nebu‐ lisers were part of our daily routine from morning, noon and through the night, always anxious that he should roll off the pil‐ lows supporting him up‐ right to ease his flow of oxygen. I hadn’t paid much atten‐ tion to how the body works at school but I managed to educate myself quickly when it came to all the ridiculous diagnostics from doctors we received until we found ‘the on’. My son fortunately did grow out of it but undeniably his lungs and whole body must have
suffered from the experi‐ ence at such a crucial age. I have had pneumonia and now always seem to suffer from sinusitis, which I have come to associate with the start of the rainy season and although prob‐ ably just an allergic reac‐ tion, often find myself short of breath. I also forget to breath or find it hard to control my breath when exercising and frequently realise I’m actu‐ ally holding my breath whilst concentrating. None of which can be good for my body in the long run; we start life with an intake of breath and I trust the last one won’t be for many, many, many years to come; I need to be more mindful. These are just some of the reasons I attended a Better Breathing workshop
with Rachel Garrod PhD MCSP, and Sally Williams. Rachel took the approach from her medical stand‐ point, whilst Sally from a spiritual yoga perspective. This mini‐course just happened to be on our beloved Mel Williams’s birthday; those of us who had the honour to know him miss him and so shar‐ ing it with Sally was extra special. I was pleased to meet other lovely people and surprised myself by sitting quietly throughout, listen‐ ing intently and participat‐ ing when required, for two full hours. Those of you who know me will under‐ stand that this cannot be taken lightly; I was obvious‐ ly enthralled otherwise I’d have fidgeted and chatted throughout. At the end of the ses‐
SOCIAL SCENE
sion we enjoyed a sump‐ tuous sandwich luncheon and a moment to get to chat to others in the group, share stories and ask questions; also inter‐ esting and helpful. We all suffer from anxi‐ ety no matter how privi‐ leged our lives are and so the techniques shared to breathe through it all were particularly welcome and I loved the mini meditation to finish. Learning to man‐ age our stress in today’s day and age should be mandatory, also for our children, so please do con‐ tact ‘the girls’ for further in‐ formation. (Tel. +34 699 501 190)

David Neal, the In‐ dependent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, speaking to the Home Affairs Committee on June 8 said the home secretary had cancelled all the appointments. As a re‐ sult, he had not met with her
since being appointed in March 2021. Neal is responsible for “monitoring and reporting on the efficiency and effective‐ ness of the immigration, asy‐ lum, nationality and customs functions carried out by the home secretary and by offi‐ cials and others on their be‐ half..” Expressing frustration and disappointment at not being able to speak with Home Sec‐

Queen’s bespoke gift Britain is shrinking
TRADITION: For the Queen to receive a gift from ministers.
AS has been a tradition for previous Jubilees, Her Majesty The Queen has received a bespoke gift from Cabinet minis‐ ters to mark her re‐ markable 70 years of service. Over the last seven decades the Queen has been served by 14 indi‐ viduals from Winston Churchill to current Prime Minister Boris Johnson. James Callaghan’s Cabinet marked the Queen’s Sil‐ ver Jubilee in 1977 by presenting her with a silver coffee pot. Then in 2002, for the Queen’s Golden Ju‐ bilee, Her Majesty re‐ ceived a silver‐gilt plate from her Cabinet minis‐ ters which was en‐ graved with their signa‐ tures. To mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Ju‐ bilee a hand‐painted enamel‐on‐copper mu‐ sical box, commis‐ sioned from Halcyon Days, has been gifted. One hundred per cent hand‐made in England, finished with a plat‐ inum mount, when opened the musical movement plays Han‐ del’s ‘Hallelujah’. A symbol of praise, this gift honours her exem‐ plary service and phe‐ nomenal achievements.
BRITAIN is shrinking according to the head of England's Environment Agency (EA) and climate change is the cause. EA Chief Executive Sir James Bevan said on Tuesday June 7 at a Flood and Coast Conference in Telford that many of Britain’s coastal communities will be af‐ fected and means people having to move from where they currently live. The warmer oceans and the melting ice caps he said, are not just affecting islands in the Pacific but also places closer to home including the UK.
According to a press release in advance of his speech he said: “While we can come back safely and build back better after most river flooding, there is no coming back for land that coastal erosion has tak‐ en away or which a rising sea level has put permanently or frequently under water.” Britain has been shrinking for some time with coastal and land erosion a ma‐ jor problem for the island, whoever what is different is that climate change is both speeding this process up and increasing the dangers that go with it.

include cameras and spec‐ trometers to produce high‐res‐ olution images and composi‐ tion maps of Europa’s surface and thin atmosphere, an ice‐ penetrating radar to search for subsurface water, and a mag‐

and perhaps recent eruptions of water, and instruments to measure the composition of tiny particles in the moon's thin atmosphere and sur‐ rounding space environment. Europa Clipper will launch in October 2024 and will travel for five and half years and ar‐ rive at Jupiter in April 2030.

EU want more women on board THE EU has said that from June 2026 it will require 40 per cent of the boards of all large companies to be made up of women.

The directive will also re‐ quire the non‐executive boards of charities and oth‐ er community‐based or‐ ganisations to meet the same quota. The measure is said to be binding with each member state to determine what sanctions will apply for fail‐ ing to meet the target.
States that enforce both quotas for all executive and non‐executive boards will be able to set the quota at 33 per cent, to begin with. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, said on Twit‐ ter: It is a great day for women in Europe. It is also a great day for companies. Because more diversity means more growth, more innovation.” Approval of the new leg‐ islation should be forth‐ coming within the next month with the expecta‐ tion that there will be no objections.

In times of financial difficulty which became most apparent during the lockdowns in Spain which is continuing with the high levels of inflation, it is quite nor‐ mal to see families cutting back on luxuries and postponing non‐ essential purchases. There is a difference between how businesses in different countries have reacted to this situation, with the UK for exam‐

economy or to simply get a good deal. According to the report, 62 per cent of those surveyed indicate that when they finally decide to acquire a new product, they do so taking into account sustain‐ ability factors, a percentage that increases among women. Some 55 per cent of these con‐ sumers point to second‐hand on‐ line platforms as the ones that are working the most to pro‐ mote the circular economy and the ones that most help to prac‐ tise more conscious consump‐ tion.
PPE scandal BRITAIN is set to destroy unwanted PPE equipment losing €4 billion ac‐ cording to a report issued by the Public Accounts Committee issued on Friday June 10. There was a mad rush for protective clothing at the start of the battle against coronavirus and there have been accusations that not only were some purchasing regulations ignored, but senior government ministers also made sure their friends obtained con‐ tracts. This latest report issued by a panel of MPs appointed to oversee expendi‐ ture make the startling claim that the Department for Health & Social Care

FOLLOWING significant losses in 2020, department store chain El Corte Inglés has now closed its 2021 accounts showing that it returned to a €120 million profit even though sales were €2.7 billion below its pre‐pandemic turnover and with fewer restrictions in 2022 should grow.
Billions of pounds have been wasted on PPE.
(DHSC) lost 75 per cent of the £12 bil‐ lion it spent on personal protective equipment (PPE) in the first year of the pandemic to inflated prices and kit that did not meet requirements. This included fully £4 billion of PPE that will not be used in the NHS and
needs to be disposed of. There is no clear disposal strategy for this excess but the Department says it plans to burn significant vol‐ umes of it to generate power ‐ though there are concerns about the cost‐ef‐ fectiveness and environmental impact of this ‘strategy’. The report goes on to say that as a result of DHSC’s ‘haphazard purchas‐ ing strategy’ 24 per cent of the PPE contracts awarded are now in dispute including contracts for products that were not fit for purpose and one con‐ tract for 3.5 billion gloves where there are allegations of modern slavery against the manufacturer.
Wake up AIRLINE unions and pilot groups are up in arms over a tweeted video message sent to WizzAir staff by CEO of the Hungarian air‐ line Jozsef Varadi. His actual words were: “Now that everyone is get‐ ting back into work, I un‐ derstand that fatigue is a potential outcome of the issues, but once we are start to stabilise the ros‐ ters, we also need to take down the fatigue rate. “I mean, we cannot run this business when every fifth person of a base re‐ ports sickness because the person is fatigued. We are all fatigued, but sometimes it is required to take the extra mile.” Later it was explained that this was not aimed at pilots who are required to step down if there is any chance of endangering pas‐ sengers.
Repsol surprise ON June 9, Repsol’s Board of Directors approved the sale of a 25 per cent stake in Repsol Renewables to the consortium formed by the French insurance company Crédit Agricole Assurances and Switzerland‐based En‐ ergy Infrastructure Partner (EIP) for €905 million. The transaction values Repsol’s renewable busi‐ ness at €4.38 billion, includ‐ ing debt and minority hold‐ ings which is considerably higher than expected espe‐ cially as the business was only started three years ago. Renewable electricity gen‐ eration is one of the main pillars in Repsol’s decarbon‐ isation model after it be‐ came, in 2019, the first com‐ pany in its industry to make a commitment to reach zero net emissions by 2050.

Growing inflation THE Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) announced that annual consumer prices rose by 8.7 per cent in May, up from April figure of 8.3 per cent mainly due to energy and food prices but with those stripped out core in‐ flation was at its highest since 1995 at 4.9 per cent.
Interest rates WITH negative interest rates set by the European Central Bank (ECB) it has now confirmed that it plans to increase by 0.25 per cent in July, the first‐ rate hike in 11 years to try to fight inflation with the expectation of further in‐ creases during the year.
Money making INDITEX just can’t stop making money and de‐ spite €216 million provi‐ sions for losses in Russia and Ukraine, it has re‐ vealed that first quarter sales were €6.7 billion, the highest quarter in a decade as it woos con‐ sumers back to its stores by adding new online charges.
Boots sale THE anticipated selling price for Boots the Chemist went as high as £7 billion but now accord‐ ing to Bloomberg, US owners Walgreens seem likely to consider a £5 bil‐ lion bid. This has appar‐ ently come from a consor‐ tium of American investment fund Apollo Global Management Inc. and Indian multinational Reliance Industries Ltd. If a sale is agreed, it will indi‐ cate whether Britain is still seen as a ‘bargain base‐ ment’ for international in‐ vestors looking to take over vulnerable compa‐ nies as happened with Morrisons most recently.
Four-day week DOZENS of UK companies began a four‐day work week trial on June 6 in an atmosphere of rising infla‐ tion, staff shortages and transport strikes. The trial, which involves dozens of companies from across a broad spectrum, will see staff continuing to be remunerated on their ex‐ isting packages, provided they can maintain 100 per cent productivity. Researchers from leading universities will be working alongside the companies to monitor the impact of the four‐day week on produc‐ tivity and the well‐being of staff. They will also monitor the effects of the shorter working week on gender equality and the environ‐ ment. The study follows the ap‐ proval earlier this year in Belgium of a four‐day work‐ ing week as well as an ex‐ periment by Spain’s Tele‐ fónica, although some

suggest that it’s difficult enough to get to speak to any of their employees working five days a week! Cambridge and Oxford Universities are also in‐ volved in the study along with the organisers the 4 Day Week Global. Initially floated by the then leader of the Labour
Party Jeremy Corbyn, the idea of a four‐day work week has grown in populari‐ ty, however, there are fears that the already flagging customer service across the UK will deteriorate even fur‐ ther. Those involved in the study believe, however, that a five‐day working
week is no longer fit for pur‐ pose and that a four‐day working week will improve productivity and increase general happiness and well‐ being. One financial draw back, unless working from home, those on a four‐day week will still have to pay the full amount for season tickets.
Cheaper electricity on way GET ready for cheaper electricity in Spain after Congress approved the Royal Decree that will lower the price on June 9. The measure came into force on Tuesday, June 14 and began to take effect on Wednesday, June 15. Initially, the impact will be felt by consumers subscribed to the regulat‐ ed rate, but little by little it will also affect those who are in the free mar‐ ket. With the price of energy skyrocket‐ ing due to a number of factors, this proposal attempts to correct one of the defects of the marginal system that governs the electricity market. Natural gas is the most expensive source of energy and it controls the final price in the wholesale market. For this reason, the intention of this decree is to set a limit on the price of gas at €40/MWh. Over the course of a 12‐month period, this will increase to €70/MWh. This is also designed to eliminate

tations of this mechanism. Initially, the forecast was that household elec‐ tricity bills would be reduced by 30 per cent, but now the government has estimated that it will be 15 per cent.
CURRENTLY, Algeria is the second largest supplier of gas to Spain after the USA and it was only last year that it decided not to re‐ new the treaty which al‐ lowed for gas to pass through Morocco to the Iberian Peninsula. At that time, Spanish politicians were quick to enter into new negotia‐ tions with the Algerians who at the time were in‐ tent on penalising Morocco rather than Spain and agreed to increase gas flow though the direct pipelines. Relations however have dropped to an all time low following the Spanish about face to support the Moroccan claims on West‐ ern Sahara which has re‐ sulted in the banning of all non‐ gas trade by the Alge‐ rians. With continued escala‐ tion in world energy prices, gas could become a very important bargaining chip for Algeria to hold over Spain.
Lidl expands LIDL is making progress in its objective of continuing to grow steadily in Spain with the opening of five new shops in June after in‐ vesting some €32 million and creating more than 70 new jobs. The new supermarkets are located in La Pobla de Vallbona (Valencia) which is open, Santa Pola (Alicante), Figueres (Girona), Madrid and La Rinconada (Sevilla). The Santa Pola and Girona stores will open to‐ day June 16, with Madrid and Sevilla stores opening on June 23. This follows the February opening of nine new outlets and is part of a €1.5 billion investment plan in the Spanish market.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WHEN is all this ridiculous, upsetting and often downright insulting reversed racism going to stop? How long will it take for the authorities to gather the courage to persecute the minority whingers with the same fervour and enthusiasm they seem to reserve for the victimised majorities, who are having to watch almost everything that comes out of their mouths in case it ‘offends’ someone? A short while ago we had that awful British‐hating Afua Hirsch, who complained that white models should not adopt Afro hair styles because they were trying to ‘steal black culture’. No mention of the thousands of hair dressing salons earning fortunes by straightening, and thereby westernising, the notoriously difficult hair of black ladies the world over! This week has been no exception to the exponents of this one‐sided attitude, which, if they’re not careful, will turn us all into racists. The small and pretty town of Bideford has for years been referred to as ‘Little White Town’. This title stretches back to the 1850s when the town, endeavouring to

Dream on... repel the scourge of cholera, had all its houses painted white and covered in ash. Apparently during this period, it was referred to by author Charles Kingsley in his book Westward Ho, as a ‘little white town’. Over the years, the name has become a part of its heritage and is proudly displayed on a number of public notices and postings. Yes, you’ve guessed it. There has now been a complaint that the name is racist! What is even more annoying, is that it appears there were actually only a couple of dissenters, but in the usual ‘minority appeasement’ mode that seems to prevail over our once great country, the town council has decreed that the name be changed in case they appeared to be advocating ‘white supremacy’. You really couldn’t make it up could you? Once again the British culture and heritage is being threatened by PC people, who are in fact the biggest racists of all. I mean where does it all end? How long will it be before anything referred to as white offends some bigot or another? I do actually recall, that at the end of apartheid in South Africa, it was somewhat frowned upon to ask for a
white coffee and more socially acceptable to request a coffee with milk! Will Whitechapel one day be referred to as Greychapel? Whitehaven become Greenhaven? Will it be the Purple Cliffs of Dover welcoming the illegal immigrants paddling across the English Channel? Why don’t we expunge the word from the dictionaries altogether? For heavens and all our sakes, when is someone going to get a grip and say enough is enough? The UK is already one of the most welcoming and politically correct places on the planet. What do these bigots actually want? Will they ever be happy? If nothing is ever going to please them would it not be a far better idea to find somewhere else that does? Dream on Leapy.

ARE you wondering what concentrated solar energy is? Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology produces elec‐ tricity by concentrating the sun’s rays to heat a medium (usually a liquid or gas) which is then used to drive a steam or gas turbine to drive an electrical generator. CSP uses only the beam component of solar radiation (direct normal radiation), so its maximum benefit tends to be restricted to a limited geographic range. At the moment, Spain is the country with the most con‐ centrated solar power plants in operation. Many compa‐ nies in Spain are world leaders in the management and im‐ plementation of farms. Spain remains the world leader in terms of total installed capacity (over 2GW) and over 30 per cent of total capacity worldwide, followed by the US . Based on increased component efficiency and lower prices, the most recent estimate expects 11 per cent of electricity to be produced with solar thermal electricity by 2050. In the European framework, a total installed capacity of 28GW is expected.
THE sale of rustic properties in March marked levels not seen since spring 2007, reaching 16,378 transactions, according to the INE.

AS predicted by real es‐ tate website Idealista, the Spanish government will extend the 2 per cent inflation cap on long term rentals due to high infla‐ tion in Spain. Spain’s National Bu‐ reau of Statistics (INE) re‐ ported that inflation hit 8.7 per cent year‐over‐ year during May 2022. Because of this spike in inflation, the Spanish government took quick action and approved a range of measures to tackle it. Among these measures was a law to enforce inflation control in all long‐term rentals. The extension of the

Buyers are looking for more leisure in the countryside be‐ cause, in addition, the farms have a great diversity of uses. Most are hunting, livestock, agricultural or recreational. The economic outputs of a farm are varied: from mere satisfaction and personal leisure, to obtaining high re‐ turns, since they can be real industries.

For professional land‐ lords, rental updates are capped at 2 per cent. For laymen, they have the freedom to negotiate, however, if an agreement is not reached then the 2 per cent limit also ap‐ plied. In practice, this trans‐ lates into a 2 per cent limit for everyone. Idealista states that it is highly likely that the Spanish government will continue to extend the three month rental cap until the inflation rate reduced, which could take several years if we are going by historic records.
Rent to buy
Rent to buy is a good option for those who do not yet have the savings to purchase their desired property RENT TO BUY is a double contract ‐ one for rent and the other for sale. A normal lease contract is signed and a term is set in which the purchase option can be made effective. Once the stipulated period has ended, the tenant has the right to buy the house for the price agreed with the owner at the signing of the contract. At that price, the rental fees that have been paid up to that moment are discounted, par‐ tially or totally. It is an option for people who do not have enough savings to purchase a home but who do not want to miss the op‐ portunity to buy that house. Before signing any real estate contract, pay attention to the conditions and ensure that everything is as well reflect‐ ed as possible. In a rental contract with option to purchase, it is necessary to review more carefully. Regarding the housing rental contract, it is important to specify the time in which the tenant can remain renting, how long they have to buy the house, the amount of the monthly rent, who will pay the expenses derived from the lease and who will undertake repairs if they are necessary. Regarding the future sale, it is necessary to indicate the fi‐ nal price, the percentage to be deducted from the rental in‐ stalments of the final price (total or partial) and the amount that must be delivered to formalise the contract, which will later be deducted from the sale if it becomes effective.

Post-beach skincare Tamsin Brown DO you have dry skin after a day spent at the beach? The sun, salt, and sand can make your skin look dry, dull and irri‐ tated. Try one of these all‐nat‐ ural post‐beach face masks to give your skin the nutrients it needs to recover. Avocado and egg mask If you come home from the beach with a dry, dull face, your skin needs extra help rehydrat‐ ing. For a moisturising face
mask, mash some avocado into a paste with a fork. Then add an egg yolk with a splash of olive oil. Mix well, apply to your face and leave for 15 minutes. Chocolate mask Chocolate is an ideal ingredi‐ ent for deeply moisturising the dermis and combating dryness caused by sun exposure. Melt a bar of pure, unsweetened chocolate and add two table‐ spoons of olive oil or almond oil. Wait for the mixture to
cool, then apply it to your face and wait 20 minutes. Aloe vera mask Aloe vera has numerous ben‐ efits for the skin. For a moistur‐ ising and refreshing face mask, mix a quarter of a glass of milk, half a glass of honey and some aloe vera gel in a bowl until you get a smooth paste. Then simply apply it to your face and leave for 15 minutes. Other skincare To protect your skin over the
summer, there are some other things you will need to do. You should exfo‐ liate twice a week to remove dead skin cells, drink plenty of water for extra hydra‐ tion and always use sun protection.

Summer sports: Golf GOLF is a great sport that is suitable for people of all ages and abilities. It is not too strenuous and is played in the fresh air, making it an ideal way to spend some time outside and get some exercise without overdoing it in the intense summer heat. Remember to drink plenty of water to stay hy‐ drated while playing, and fresh fruit is the perfect snack to have on the golf course. It is worth invest‐ ing in some quality equip‐ ment and lessons from an instructor if you are really considering taking it up as a hobby. Read on to find out why you should give golf a try this summer. • Stay in shape Golf players need to hit the ball repeatedly at dif‐ ferent distances as accu‐ rately as possible, and they also need to walk around a large golf course. Golf is a sport of en‐ durance and precision, working the muscular,
skeletal and cardiovascular systems. Not only this, but it is also relaxing and helps to relieve tension. • Avoid injuries Golf is generally a low‐ impact sport with few in‐ juries, although there may
MOSQUITOS are a nui‐ sance during the summer or in hot, tropical regions. Al‐ though they can transmit diseases in some places, mosquito bites are mostly harmless. However, those who have ever been unable to sleep because of a mosquito buzzing in their ear or who have suffered for days with an itchy bite will be pleased to know that there are some effective natural repellents. Before using any type of repellent, think about whether your home is the perfect den for mosquitos. Fountains, swimming pools and even plant pots are ide‐ al for their reproduction and survival, which is why it is important to try to keep the water as clean as possible. Having said that, try these natural repellents: ‐ Add about 20 drops of eucalyptus oil to a contain‐ er of water and place it near your bed. You can also add it to products such as body cream or shampoo and use them before going
be some muscle strains or sprains due to poor tech‐ nique or playing excessive‐ ly. Always warm up and stretch before playing and make sure that you wear supportive footwear. • Socialise and have fun
Golf is a great way of meeting people of differ‐ ent ages and levels that you may not have met otherwise. The best part is that golf is a game, which means that it is meant to be fun!

outdoors. ‐ Place a few sprigs of eu‐ calyptus, rosemary or thyme on the doors and windows of the rooms in your home. These plants give off a scent that is very unpleasant to mosquitoes, making them an effective repellent. ‐ As you probably find it impossible to keep the win‐ dows closed during sum‐
mer, you can repel mosquitos by placing glass‐ es filled with water and some white vinegar on the window sills. ‐ Incense, candles and oils of certain fragrances, such as citronella, lemon, laven‐ der and basil, are very effec‐ tive against mosquitos, making them ideal for open spaces such as gardens or patios.

Preventing nail fungus N A I L fungus, or ony‐ chomycosis, is a very common condition that mainly affects the feet. It is caused by mi‐ croscop‐ ic para‐

in the colour, shape and texture of the nails, and it is impor‐ tant to recognise the symptoms and get treatment as soon as possible. It is also pos‐ sible to prevent nail fungus by putting into practice a few simple tips. Keep reading to find out what they are. To prevent nail fungus, keep your hands and feet clean and dry as much as possible. Good hygiene is es‐ sential. Wash using a gentle pH‐neutral soap that will not irri‐ tate the skin. Dry y o u r
hands and feet thor‐ oughly after washing them. Pay particular attention to areas sus‐ ceptible to fungal in‐ fection, such as the spaces between the toes. Keep your nails short and trimmed to pre‐ vent nail fungus and other conditions such as inflammation around the nail beds. Cut toenails neatly straight across in order to prevent ingrown toenails. Clean and dis‐ infect the tools used for manicures and pedicures beforehand and avoid sharing them with other people. Always wear shoes in public places such as gyms, swimming pools or saunas, as going barefoot is one of the easiest ways to get fungal infections. Also,
wear gloves when cleaning in damp places. Wear comfortable shoes that give the
foot enough space to breathe. Let your shoes air out overnight after you have been wearing them all day.

Get your home ready for summer!! WE all want to make the most of the sum‐ mer but apart from thinking about the beach, on vacations, or about that dreamed trip, it’s important that we all take the nec‐ essary steps to ensure our homes stay safe and secure. Unfortunately, the probability of being burglarised or robbed at home tends to be higher during the summer! As we are likely to spend more time away from home, even for days if we plan to go on holiday, we want to give you some tips on how to minimise the chances of your home being burgled and, in the unfor‐ tunate event that it does happen, to make sure you’re covered! • Talk to your insurance agent to make sure that your contents cover is properly calculated, including furniture, white goods and electronic appliances, clothes, jew‐ ellery, personal belongings, etc. • Make sure that your doors and win‐ dows are in good condition and check all locks are working and get a home security system to help reduce the chance of being a burglary victim. • Make your home look lived in, for ex‐
ample, you could invest in some timer switches for your lights to give the impres‐ sion that someone is home. • Ask your neighbours or a friend to keep watch on your home and collect the post from your postbox. • Create a list of emergency contacts if anything was to go wrong in your home. • Don’t share holiday plans or pictures on social media or adjust your privacy settings to make sure you are not sharing personal information with the wrong people. • Beware of squatters! Make sure your home insurance covers the Legal Defence in case of illegal occupation of the property But in summer, it’s not just a possible
burglary of your home that you need to watch out for. There are small inconve‐ niences that come with the heat, such as annoying pests and insects!! Fortunately, there are home insurance policies that in‐ clude pest control, fumigation, and disinfec‐ tion services. In summer we also like to enjoy our home outdoors, and it is interesting to have a cover for our garden furniture, even for the garden itself, in case of a summer storm! You may also have a second home for holiday rentals. In that case, make sure that you have a specific cover for holiday rentals, including public liability for your guests.
LIBERTY SEGUROS has adapted its Home Insurance plans to provide solutions that best suit your individual requirements giv‐ ing you the option of being covered for all these eventualities. Understanding that ev‐ ery customer’s needs are unique, it has cre‐ ated additional coverages to allow you to enhance and complement your home in‐ surance cover. Regardless of the plan you choose, you can now add Optional Packs to your home insurance to ensure your plan is perfectly tailored to you. What’s more, if you are a new LIBERTY SEGUROS client and take out a Home, Car, or Life policy now and until July 26, you will receive €30 Cashback on your first policy and €60 from the second policy onwards, or €60 Cashback on each new policy if you are already a customer.

FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH FROM time to time letters and articles are published warning readers about ‘new tricks’ being used to steal from unsuspecting victims. As a former 30‐ year career detective in the UK and over 20 years working as a volunteer with the National Police, and a couple of years with the Guardia Civil, I know there are no new tricks, just some you may not be aware of. There are a few precau‐ tions which will afford protection from most pickpocketing attempts. Don’t take unnecessary valuable items with you when you go out, never put items of value in easily accessible pockets, espe‐ cially in loose fitting gar‐ ments. You will not ‘feel’ an attempt to steal. If approached by a stranger in a public place, or jostled, bumped into etc, very common getting on and off buses, trains, in markets, etc, be aware it may be an attempt to steal from you, so where possible keep your dis‐ tance. And of course it’s not wise to put valuable items in handbags, back‐ packs, bum bags, etc. Generally, it’s better not to take difficult to replace original documents out with you if that can be avoided. Keep copies of all valuable documents, photos of watches, jew‐ ellery etc at home, so if you are a victim you will have them to assist police investigations. If you have a mobile I suggest downloading the ‘Alert Cops app’ so you can easily summon police
help or inform them in En‐ glish of crimes being com‐ mitted. John Carrington

OUR VIEW INEVITABLE BUT PREVENTABLE THE fire season appears to have arrived early in Spain, this year spurred on by very hot weather coupled with strong winds. Councils across the nation have been implementing procedures to try to stop the outbreak of forest and scrub fires, but much depends upon individuals being sensible and taking precautions themselves. Speculation about the cause of the recent fire in the Pujerra area of the Costa del Sol has been rife but as yet no firm statement has been given. There is no doubt that over the years fires have been started maliciously either out of spite or for some obscure financial reason and in the worst cases people have lost their properties and firefighters have died. Other reasons for fires include, use of barbecues in areas where they shouldn’t be, throwing away lit cigarette ends and even leaving behind glass bottles which act as magnifying glasses for the sun. However, the Euro Weekly News would like to advise everyone to be careful during the summer months and people should be extremely cautious. The work of the various emergency services is always exemplary, but with large areas of scrub and forests, they are inevitably fighting on the back foot once a fire starts and we all have an absolute responsibility to do what we can individually to ensure that we don’t act irresponsibly. Fire is dangerous and costly both to those who are directly affected whether by evacuation or loss of their homes as well as to the councils who fund the emergency services and ensure that their staff are not, wherever possible, endangered. Hopefully this year will be safer than 2021 and everyone will do their best to reduce the risks wherever they can.

Add value to your property in weeks with TexClima FOR many, owning a home in Spain means access to year‐round sun, great food, and a slower pace of life than at home. Maintaining your property on the other hand is another story. From the Calima to damp problems and even UV damage, own‐ ing a property in Spain can involve constant attention to keep it looking its best. That’s why when something comes along to make that job infinitely easier ‐ and even add value to your home ‐ it’s worth knowing about. Specialist company TexClima offers just that with a unique wall coating system that will Calima‐proof your home, add value to it and give it a fresh, just‐painted look for a guaranteed 10 years. A superior alternative to paint, TexClima’s system uses ProPerla, an impressive product which has been used in Europe for more than 25 years. Breathable, durable, UV‐proof, able to withstand extreme weather conditions, and non‐staining, this product coats your home in the same way as paint, but without any staining or flaking. Its special resins mean that this wall coating doesn’t stain, meaning you will never have to
jet wash and repaint following the Calima again. Even better, whereas a home typically needs repainting every three to five years in Spain, TexClima’s wall coating is under war‐ ranty for 10 years. This longevity makes Tex‐ Clima’s system cheaper in the long run and can add thousands to your property value, both for renting and selling, by maintaining your home’s just‐painted appearance. The process starts in much the same way as painting your home would ‐ just carried out in a much more thorough way by the team at TexClima. The company will prep all your external walls, scraping them, filling them and sanding them down ready to be sprayed with ProPerla products. Able to be sprayed onto any rendered sur‐ face, including textured walls, TexClima’s ProPerla products are available in 11 colours, ensuring you there’s a coating for every taste.
TEXCLIMA: The team will transform your home.
If you want to add value to your property, cut down on maintenance, or even simply just enjoy the look of your freshly‐coated home for years to come, contact TexClima to find out more.

Laura Kemp A N E W LY released study carried out by Dogs Trust has revealed that around eight in 10 owners said companionship for themselves was a reason they got a dog. The research, which involved col‐ lecting data from a large number of respondents (8,050 current and 2,884 potential dog owners com‐ pleted the survey), sought to ex‐ plore owners’ motivations for ac‐ quiring dogs. Other popular reasons to get a dog were to help a dog in need, which had been the motivation for half of current owners, and many current and potential owners want‐ ed a dog to encourage them to ex‐ ercise, with nearly three quarters of potential owners giving this as their reason. Katrina Holland and Rebecca Mead, researchers at Dogs Trust who led the study, said: “Despite the huge popularity of dogs in the UK, there is a lack of published evi‐ dence exploring exactly why people get dogs. As the UK’s leading canine charity, we wanted to address this gap and, while there are no big sur‐
LIFESTYLE
Why a dog? Credit: Dogs Trust
A newly released study from Dogs Trust reveals the reasons people become dog owners
prises from what we found, we’re really glad to have some solid evi‐ dence about why people choose to bring a dog into their life.” Commonly mentioned dog quali‐ ties included their ‘loving’ and ‘loy‐ al’ nature and some participants distinguished dogs’ roles and quali‐ ties from those of other pets, in‐ cluding cats, highlighting the dis‐ tinct kind of companionship they offer.
PETS PAGE
People who had previously owned a dog referred to this expe‐ rience as a motivating factor for getting a dog again, with prior own‐ ership a reported influence for around three quarters of potential owners. For others, prior experiences of meeting dogs contributed to their decision, with around a quarter of current owners saying this had in‐ fluenced them.
Microchipping is essential for getting your pet back to safety
Microchipping WITH the new laws in Spain for pet owner‐ ship, it is not only hugely important to microchip your pet, but it is now a legal re‐ quirement. You will need to reg‐ ister your pet with the National Pet ID scheme, providing a host of information about your animal. This will include your pet’s date of birth, vaccina‐ tion status and any in‐ formation about mis‐ treatment from previous owners. If your pet is already microchipped, you will still be required to reg‐ ister with the Pet ID scheme. The document will be compatible with the current microchip and will contain similar information. This will make it easier to get your pet back to safety should they become lost, abandoned or stolen. So, what documents does your pet need? If you want to own a pet is Spain then you
will need the following documents in place so that your ownership is legal: A pet health booklet (cartilla sanitaria) which will contain your pet’s medical and vac‐ cination history. This should be issued by their registered vet and updated after each vis‐ it. It is now a legal re‐ quirement that every cat and dog in Spain is microchipped. A certificate proving that your pet has been vaccinated against ra‐ bies. If you wish to travel outside of Spain (but inside the EU) then you will need to secure an EU pet passport for your pet. The new DNI Animal which will include the animal’s name, species, gender, breed, data of birth and microchip number. This is a very positive and important step in protecting animals in Spain!

PET CHARITY ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm.

Run solely by a small team of dedicated volunteers, the Centre is located between Alhaurin el Grande and Coin in Comm. de Viña Borrego behind Venta Miralmonte.

Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at any time. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So, if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

Volvo XC60 - Scandinavian cool still has a reassuring solid‐ ity in the way it drives, the way the doors close, the way the switchgear oper‐ ates. Drive Volvo’s latest
MOTORING
XC60 and the similarities of reassuring solidity are still present today, the XC60 has a premium feel that has both Scandina‐ vian cool and premium build quality. A mid‐size SUV the XC60 comes with an im‐ pressive array of standard features, even at entry‐ level, and is a largely petrol engine line‐up with either mild‐hybrid or plug‐in hybrid. All‐wheel‐ drive dominates the line‐ up with a single 2.0‐litre
turbocharged petrol in a range of power options. Prices start from €55,709/£47,460 and my test model, a 250hp mild‐ hybrid Ultimate version, costs €56,360/£48,010. Thanks to a huge sliding panoramic glass roof, heated rear seats, steering wheel and windscreen plus uprated sound sys‐ tem and four‐zone climate control that price climbs to €61,914/ £52,745. It makes for an impressive machine that offers both
performance and econo‐ my, not to mention enough space to stretch your legs over long dis‐ tances in comfort. Choose a lighter interior and the XC60 just oozes premium ambiance, even in darker hues it still shouts class. It’s a very cleanly designed interior but even with lots of touch screen action it’s still a relatively intuitive cabin. The annoyance, if I’m honest, is the built‐in Google, or maybe I’m just too old! Any system that requires you to say ‘Hey Google’ is a step too far, and I found the system too hit and miss with voice commands. That’s something I haven’t found in other cars and from the normally sensi‐ ble and reliable Volvo somewhat of a surprise. It’s about the only irritant in an otherwise superb
piece of automotive engi‐ neering. On the road it comes as no surprise that the XC60 drives as well as it looks. Despite its not inconsider‐ able size it handles re‐ markably well, and the re‐ finement is superb. Its design is such that even without the parking aids you can pretty much see every corner, so parking is far from difficult. With lots of cabin space even the luggage area is gener‐ ous, not always a given on SUVs. Volvo has become a cool and desirable brand that’s rightly viewed alongside premium com‐ petitors, not least from German manufacturers. If you want something dif‐ ferent, premium, and rather cool, then Volvo and its XC60 could well be the SUV to grace your driveway.

Baha Whiskey Cup THIS week sees the Baha Whiskey Cup final begin, it’s a round‐robin event with both Malaga A+B and Walking Dead A tak‐ ing part. These should be fascinating games af‐ ter both clubs shared the spoils in the Hidro‐ master leagues. The finals will be played over four evenings with the last game being played next week. History was made on Sunday when ex‐ Chelsea player Sheila
Bell Clifford donned her referee’s uniform and of‐ ficiated the game be‐ tween Aston Viñuela and Nerja Utd at Viñuela’s beautiful lakeside pitch. It was the first time that a woman has officiated a game of walking football on the Costa del Sol. Sheila commented “I was a bit apprehensive at first, but I loved it.” Head of the Iberian Walking Football Associ‐ ation, Keith Doughty said “I’m really proud of

ball national team in Casablanca. They are taking two teams to compete in August. The summer is here, but the walking football guys and girls are a hardy lot! Sessions still being played at most clubs. Visit walkingfooty.com on Facebook for details if you want to get in‐ volved.
