Fury at airport worker strike announcement

Threat to Easter tourism Airport chaos predicted

terms of damage to the holiday sector.

Employees of the publicly-owned airpor t authority (AENA) have served notice that they will strike on 22 key air traffic days from 20 April until 31 August, bringing airports to a standstill. The pros-

pect of massive cancellations and thousands of stranded tourists prompted the Canarian government to call for Madrid to order full staffing cover for Canarian airports as par t of any emergency measures adopted to cope with the strike. The European

Commission has also been urged to intervene.

As we go to press, already airlines throughout Europe, including Ryanair, have warned that they will not be held to ransom by the ongoing AENA conflict over privatisation plans by the Spanish government. Michael O’Leary stated, “Europe’s airlines and passengers suffered at the hands of air traffic control providers throughout 2010. Now, ahead of yet another Spanish strike, Ryanair is calling on the EU to take action to prevent further strike action.

“Action must be taken at EU level to ensure that the ‘right to strike’ is removed from essential airport ser vices”, he added.

Strike dates already being proposed include April 20, 21, 24, 25 and 30, which will cause chaos for the Canary Islands’ Easter business.

110 top speed in Spain

Slow down

Despite the protests from many quarters, including one Fernando Alonso, the proposed, albeit reportedly temporary, change to Spain’s upper speed limit on all roads went ahead on March 7th.

On the night of Sunday March 6th hundreds of traffic employees on ladders, armed with stickers, changed speed limit signs all over most of the country, and on Monday morning there was noticeable caution on the roads. Here in the Canaries it was combined with less traffic given that schools were closed for Carnaval, so fewer cars at morning rush hour. One driver told Island Connections, “I overtook two taxis on the way to work, and I was only doing 100! I don’t think that’s ever happened before”.

The move, a controversial one, was introduced by the government to, they say, save energy in response to the rise in oil prices as a result of the unrest in the Arab world. Libya supplies about 13 per cent of Spain’s oil. It is supposed to last for four months, and already the change (and change back one assumes) will cost an estimated €250,000.

In the Canary Islands the Civil Guard’s Traffic Branch said that no leniency would be shown to speeders who ignore the new limit and are caught on radar, although points will not be docked from licences unless offenders are clocked at 151 kmh or above.

Santa Cruz chose the 2011 Carnaval Queen on March 2nd in the longest ever gala, an event of over four hours which was dedicated to Enrique González.

In Las Palmas, the Carnaval Queen was elected on March 4th in a gala with guest artist Malú. The economic crisis did not appear to have affected the ingenuity or quality of the costumes presented by the candidates for the titles.

With the two queens elected, Carnaval could officially begin, and, despite showery weather, take to the streets of the capitals.

Tacoronte

Cancer run

A group of neighbours in El Sauzal, supported by the council and various sponsors organised a walk in aid of the Tenerife breast cancer charity Ámate.

The organisers were overwhelmed by the response as the expected 800 people turned into 1,800. They signed up in Tacoronte and ran or walked to El Sauzal, five kilometres away, the last stragglers being ushered in by the Red Cross.

The event was to raise awareness of the need for preventative measures and regular

scans as well as to raise funds to help Ámate continue with their incredible work in education and helping the victims of breast cancer and their families. There are 400 new cases of breast cancer each year in the Canaries but the mortality rate has been reduced considerably over the last few years as more women take advantage of the services available for early detection.

The ex mayor of El Sauzal and Canarian President, Paulino Rivero, was present, together with Carmen Milans del Bosch, an athlete and recovered breast cancer patient

who spends a lot of her time going all around Spain to take part in such events and of course local dignitaries, including the current mayor of the town, Mariano Pérez, and the President of Ámate, Mari Carmen Bonfante with a sizeable contingent of Ámate workers and supporters.

A ‘symbolic’ cheque for €1,100 was handed over to Mari Carmen, based on the estimation of 800 people at €3 a head, given that 1,000 more turned up, more funds will be on the way shortly.

All involved were delighted with the response from the public and hope that the event can be repeated in the future.

Foreign residents

EU rules in the Canaries

According to the latest data from the ministry for employment and immigration, the number of foreigners resident in Spain stabilised in 2010, averaging five million, and more than 58 per cent of those foreigners who live in the Canaries are from the European Union, as is also the case in the regions of Castilla y León, Valencia and Andalucia.

It is thought that this stabilisation has occurred due to various reasons: that many foreigners have acquired Spanish nationality, the voluntary return to country of origin programmes promoted by the government, and the economic and employment situation.

Last year, the number of residents from the European Union increased, while those from other countries diminished. The total number of foreign residents rose by 2.83 per cent over the figures for 2009, with the main countries of origin being Romania and Morocco, followed (but at a significant distance) by Ecuador, Colombia and the United Kingdom.

For 2010, the number of residents from the European Union and who belong to the ‘régimen comunitario’ was 2,402,632 which represents an increase of 7.74 per cent on 2009, and the countries with the most presence were Romania (840,682), the United Kingdom (228,829) and Italy (170,051).

According to the data, the foreign population here is mostly young, with few children, but includes a significant number of people over the age of 64.

T

he trial of three young Londoners accused of stabbing a youth from Northern Ireland in Playa de Las Américas during a holiday in Tenerife in August 2009 took place in the province’s Criminal Court earlier this month.

The three, whose case has attracted considerable political interest in the shape of deputy LibDem leader Simon Hughes (who attended the opening day to show his personal support for his constituents) and a petition to 10 Downing Street, appeared on three consecutive days in Santa Cruz to answer the charges. They reiterated throughout that they were the victims of mistaken identity which resulted in them spending 19 months on remand in Tenerife II prison.

Following detailed evidence from police, forensic experts and several people who witnessed the late-night stabbing in the Las Verónicas area, the panel of three judges at Section 6 of the Criminal Court took the unusual step of issuing a release order for the defendants, who were freed from jail within hours of the end of the trial and had their passports returned to them. At the time of going to press on 9 March, the Court had still not made its verdict public, although the Londoners’ defence lawyer

Questions remain

investigation into the stabbing and reportedly misplaced and/or held up vital documents submitted in support of bail applications.

For its part, the main Prosecutor’s Office in Santa Cruz is accused by the families of refusing bail “as a matter of policy” regardless of the merits of the case and of disregarding cast-iron assurances that the defendants would remain in Tenerife until their trial. Defence sources also claim attempts were made to prevent the victim and two key witnesses from being cross-examined by video-link from Belfast so the Prosecutor could rely exclusively on their initial statements to police and at Arona.

It is thought the link was only arranged at the last minute following political pressure from the UK via Interpol.

“In addition to the emotional toll it has taken, this case has cost us tens of thousands of pounds in lawyers’ fees, air fares, accommodation and other bills. It could have ended long ago” said one family source. Similar sentiments have been expressed by the families of other British and foreign nationals currently awaiting trial for alleged offences. Under Spanish law, the maximum period of remand is two years although for serious

said she was confident that the “major discrepancies” in the evidence, particularly the serious contradictions in the versions given by the arresting officers and two friends of the stab victim, would result in acquittal.

In her summing up, the Madrid-based lawyer added that the case should never have been brought as it was based on “the flimsiest of evidence” which sought to link her cli-

ents to the scene. “They were picked up while they walked on the beach simply because they had towels around their necks and because the victim was allegedly attacked by three men who hid their faces using scarves. My clients were in the wrong place at the wrong time and no matter how hard we tried to show, based on the time of the stabbing and the contradictory descriptions given of the perpetrators, that they could not have been involved, the

Prosecution pressed ahead with the charges” said the lawyer.

Irrespective of the outcome, the case has reopened the debate concerning the slowness of Spain’s justice system to complete, within a reasonable time, investigations into crimes.

The families of the three young men who spent from 3 August 2009 until 3 March 2011 on remand want explanations for the constant delays suffered in Arona Court No. 6, which was responsible for the initial

offences this can be extended for a further two-year period.

Another highly-publicised case of a Briton, Stephen Johnson, who is accused of fatally stabbing a Moroccan, has still not come to trial more than three years after his arrest in January 2008, as mentioned elsewhere in this edition.

A common denominator in many cases of this type is that, as the trials eventually show, no further evidence is obtained during the bulk of the remand time and the case against the defendant is based almost entirely on the content of the preliminary investigation, carried out within days or weeks of the alleged offence.

In theory, people who suffer wrongful imprisonment can claim compensation for the time spent in jail but legal sources consulted by Island Connections say that compensation is payable only in the event of a clear miscarriage of justice. “If there were reasonable grounds at the time for the investigating judge to order a person to be remanded, a claim has little chance of success” said the source.

According to the same experts, the Britons, if acquitted, will have to prove that they suffered serious and unwarranted delays in the processing of their case, attributable to the justice system, in order to have any prospect of compensation.

Job application avalanche

Immigration round table Ricardo Melchior recently joined members of the Cabildo’s IV Insular Round Table of Immigrant Associations.

The selection procedure for jobs on offer in the Canarian Health Service could take years to resolve following the news that almost 48,000 applications need to be checked for the candidates. The avalanche is only the tip of the iceberg in the 423 posts as orderlies in hospitals and health centres.

Health Service, says union sources, who cite the forthcoming Unions have already been warned that the time-frame for filling the jobs has no chance of being kept to given the sheer number of candidates. The mammoth task of scrutinising all the paperwork to see which applicants fulfil the requirements is already underway and must be completed before a date can be set for the competitive examination to be taken by accepted

procedures to fill 900 nursing and 600 clerical posts. A previous procedure to fill 170 ancillary jobs attracted 13,000 applicants, of whom 7,000 went forward to sit the exam.

An insider said the current economic climate is encouraging people in their droves to seek the security of public sector jobs, which are theirs for life once they pass the exams.

Crisis fallourt

Fears grow for Rumasa The deepening crisis at one of Spain’s best-known business groups has heightened concerns for the fate of its hotels in the Canaries.

The Rumasa conglomerate filed for bankruptcy protection a few weeks ago to give it time to renegotiate its massive debts and avoid insolvency. The news sent shockwaves through the business

world and prompted an investigation by the Spanish securities watchdog, which had already warned of potential problems with Rumasa’s attractive high-yield investment promises.

It is thought several thousand investors may have lost their money, which was supposed to be used to buy up new firms for the holding but may have been

Spanair pilots cleared T

he complex investigation into the causes of the Spanair plane crash in August 2008 has taken a crucial turn with the revelation that experts have cleared the two pilots of any error in the tragedy, which left 154 dead, many of them from the Canaries. “It was impossible for the plane to take off as configured” concluded the team of eight experts who reproduced the take-off conditions in a special simulator as part of the investigation. The experts say the pilots could not have known that vital information on flap deployment was not being relayed to them from the instrument panel because a crucial sensor had been neutralised in a makeshift repair carried out earlier. It has also emerged that a third person in the cockpit at the time was an off-duty flight engineer who was catching a lift to the Canaries and is heard on the flight recorder complaining about the repair.

channelled into paying off old debts.

Rumasa’s hotels in the Canaries include five in Tenerife, four of them in Puerto de la Cruz alone. Although business is good at all of them, with occupancy rates above 70 per cent and solid summer bookings, many of the 500 staff are concerned the deepening crisis could see them out of jobs if the group collapses.

Mogán

Water down the drain A

new and costly indoor swimming pool in Mogán may have to be taken apart before it has been officially opened due to shoddy workmanship.

The three million euro facility in the Gran Canaria town has been self-emptying due to a major building defect which could land the company in hot water. Engineers have confirmed the pool casing was not made according to the project specifications and cracks have appeared that prevents it from retaining its contents. Embarrassed council officials say the blame lies entirely with the firm, an accusation the latter strenuously denies, insisting that it carried out the instructions to the letter. No new date has been set for the official opening of the pool, which should have opened its doors to the public at the beginning of the year.

Marketing master The Cabildo president Ricardo Melchior recently launched the Cajasiete “Executive Master”, course for professionals in marketing, publicity and communications. The course is designed for those who wish to develop an existing career, change direction or reenter the labour market.

Also present at the inaugural act were the president of the Fundación Bravo Murillo, Ángel Ferrera and the director general of Cajasiete, Fernando Bergé among others. Ricardo Melchior congratulated organisers on the quality of the course on offer and wished all the participating students good luck on the course.

Tactile tourism Turismo de Tenerife have introduced a number of touch screens in the tourist information offices in Tenerife North airport.

The move is under the Tenerife Digital label and is part of the overall modernisation plans for the information services available to visitors to the island. Cabildo vice president José Manuel Bermúdez, unveiling the new screens, said “at Turismo de Tenerife we are always exploring the ways in which we can best use new technologies and this is just one more example of that”.

He added that what they hope for is that visitors find the facilities they need to access the information best suited to them and guaranteeing them the best possible holiday.

The cause is one close to the heart of the president and he is a firm supporter of the move to bring people from different countries closer together and use those connections to advance and generate opportunities for the future. He said that there is still work to be done to advance levels of cooperation and with mutual knowledge of each other integration becomes increasingly possible.

In reality, he said, there is a commercial, economic and financial globalisation but social globalisation no, something which should be developed in parallel to avoid different levels of quality of life throughout the world.

One of the projects that is helping this is, Melchior stated, the fibre-optic installations and the ALiX Project which will place Tenerife in a strategic position regarding worldwide communications.

receive as many of the 3,500 passengers as possible. Whilst islanders are still some way from rowing out singing to meet visitors with fruit and flowers, the total indifference with which earlier cruise ships were greeted-closed shops, bars and restaurants, cut-price, cut-throat excursions and other delights-has altered. Luis Mo-

rales, for example, makes the journey from Vallehermoso to give cruise passengers demonstrations of the Silbo Gomero, the island’s whistled language.

This freelance enterprise provides uncertain earnings, for which tourists take his photo.

Given the traditional absence of any response to cruise ships on the part of island authorities, apart from a flurry of press releases and chest beating, such DIY efforts to help visitors see some local customs and spend their money are to be applauded.

The Las Palmas couple refuse to believe the hospital’s version that their baby boy died within minutes of delivery at the Santa Catalina Clinic in the Gran Canaria capital and have succeeded in persuading the province’s Criminal Court to re-open the case.

“I saw my baby and held him. He seemed perfectly OK but then I was told he had died. They wouldn’t let me see him and told me they had buried him, without our consent” explains mother Laura Castellano.

The couple have been battling for almost a year to have the mystery resolved once and for all. “We are hearing so much in the

news these days about stolen babies in Spain that we cannot help but feel suspicious” added Laura’s husband, Armiche.

The head of the small AHI party in El Hierro, Tomás Padrón, is bowing out after over 30 years in politics, including 28 in charge at the island’s Cabildo. Making the announcement, Padrón said he was tired of battling for an increased role for the island corporations and was angry at the failure of the Canarian government to cede more power to them.

Despite gloomy predictions last autumn, Nieves González, Cabildo tourism councillor, has announced, “...La Gomera is selling well. We’ve got good levels of occupation this season”.

These comforting words came at the end of an awards function in island capital San Sebastián and local hoteliers were quick to agree with her.

Antonio García, manager of the Torre del Conde and function host, gave his equally positive assessment. “We’re doing very well this season.

The crisis hasn’t affected us.

We’re well placed and can offer ever ything our guests require”, he hastened to add.

Even so, “...it’s apparent there are more visitors than ever, at least in San Sebastián”.

Small hotels throughout the island report not only good occupation, but “a lot more” enquiries from foreign tour operators. Companies offering walking and nature holidays are especially interested, boding well for the future. The island’s popularity with Germans is fortunate; the German economy is on the up.

He was subsequently accused of the murder of a 25 year old Moroccan involved in the incident, and was released on bail.

Las Cañadas

Search begins for Franco victims A

two-month project is under way in the Cañadas del Teide area to locate graves of people killed by Spain’s fascist regime following the Civil War (1936-39).

Experts have begun testing a number of locations thought to contain the remains of locals executed at the height of the repression under General Franco.

Popular tradition has it that scores of victims were buried at a spot known as Bucio de Maja, including the mayors of several towns in Tenerife. Almost €60,000 has been allocated by

the national government for the project under Spain’s controversial Historical Memory Law, which has seen many similar searches conducted throughout the country.

The work is being carried out in two stages, the first being a detailed examination of written evidence of the killings and interviews with elderly people who remember the events. Based on the information received, archaeologists expect to visit a number of sites in the Teide area with probes in the coming weeks to check for human remains before proceeding to a full excavation.

Operator Armas says the route, which will be served by the ultra-modern ropax ‘Volcán del Teide’ ship built recently in Vigo at a cost of €120 million, commences its weekly sailings from the Canaries on Thursday 31 March.

The ship departs from Santa Cruz at midday, arriving in the southern Spanish port of Huelva at 6pm the following day. Return sailings from Huelva will be every Saturday lunchtime, arriving here late on Sunday after a stop-over in

Las Palmas. Fares for the 28-hour crossing, several hours shorter than the existing route to Cádiz operated by rivals Acciona, start at €40 one-way (seat-only).

The vessel can carry 1,500 passengers and 350 cars and offers 1,850 lane metres for lorries. Passenger accommodation consists of 124 four-berth cabins, four double-cabins and two four-berth cabins for disabled persons. In addition, there are lounges with more than 500 reclining seats and luxury seats, locker rooms, a swimming pool, a play area, a cinema, a laundry and a kiosk.

Birth pains

Labour lightning strikes twice

A bizarre coincidence of circumstances left the Civil Guard’s Traffic Branch with unexpected work on its hands near La Laguna recently.

Two local women went into labour in their vehicles at approximately the same time on the same stretch of motorway, giving officers a major headache.

The first of the mothersto-be phoned the emergency services from her car in slow-moving traffic at the height of the morning rush hour to say her baby’s delivery was imminent. Traffic officers rushed to the scene, forcing vehicles to move aside on the busy road so they could reach the woman and escort her car to a less congested area where an ambulance was waiting.

The tailback caused by the emergency reached as far back as La Orotava.

However, officers had to wait for a little longer after a second call was received for exactly the same rea-

Tenerife II headache

A dangerous inmate at Tenerife II Jail caused major problems for the prison and an airline at the end of last month when the authorities tried to transfer him to Las Palmas to serve the rest of his sentence.

The prisoner set his cell on fire when he was informed of his imminent move and blocked the door lock with toothpicks to prevent staff from entering. The door was eventually broken down using a sledgehammer but officers then had to contend with a very slippery floor, caused by buckets of soapy water.

When they finally managed to restrain the inmate and escort him to Tenerife North Airport for the flight, he became so violent that the pilot refused to depart due to the danger he posed to other passengers. The prisoner was returned to Tenerife II while the authorities considered their options.

“S

Master class in tourism

tudents today see the tourism industr y as a strange career choice” and this is a mentality that is in urgent need of change, according to the director general of the Iriarte University School of Tourism, Ángel Oliva, who was speaking at the launch of their Masters in tourism administration and development in South Tenerife.

The new course is in collaboration with the Arona council and has the support of the Mare Nostrum Resort, where classes will take place and who will also back up the course with audio visual materials among other support mechanisms.

The course is designed for professionals in the sector with at least three years in a position of responsibility or those holding a university degree or diploma, and while the courses will be conducted in Spanish, entry is open to anyone who meets the criteria regardless

The course is designed to create and encourage professionalism within the sector

of nationality. At the launch the need to professionalise the sector was stressed as much as the need for the industry itself to recognise why professionalism within the sector is important.

“To continue to be competitive it is necessary to develop at a professional and innovative level”, to both maintain existing tourism and create new

businesses within the sector.”

Oliva said that he had been to speak to secondary school students and few if any of those considering third level education would think of tourism as a preferred career choice, despite the fact it was, he believes, the sector that will bring the south of Tenerife out of the current economic crisis. He also said

it was ver y impor tant that schools themselves began to encourage students to look at tourism as a good and positive career move.

“In the south it has been something of a paradox that the centre of the most important economic regional activity hasn’t had, until now, a proper training course for those in

areas of responsibility in the sector”. Arona mayor Jóse Alber to González Reverón also said that many who are currently working in the sector who dropped out of full time education during the boom construction years could use this opportunity to further their career in tourism.

The course is in two independ-

ent parts, and is designed to fit around working hours. Classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4.30pm to 8.45pm, and the first section, ‘curso superior’ begins on March 15 and ends in the summer. For the second part of the course, from September to December, students can specialise in areas of financing, commercialisation or marketing.

The 650 lecture hours are split between 230 in class and the rest under the distance learning label. The price of the first course is €3,100 and the overall cost is €5,800, financing is available through Barclays Bank, and all course directors are professionals and experts within their individual fields.

Juan Gorrín

Mayor confident despite switch The mayor of Santiago del Teide is confident he will get another term in office in May even though he will be standing for a different party.

Juan Gorrín is flying the flag in the forthcoming elections for the Popular Party (PP), which he joined a few months ago after ending his 24-year membership of the Canarian Coalition, the party for which he stood in the

2007 elections. The switch of allegiance in November also saw Gorrín take with him five councillors, thus ensuring enough votes in the council to remain as mayor.

As May approaches, the PP is engaged in a major campaign to press its case in Santiago del Teide, where it anticipates a somewhat dirty campaign as opponents capitalise on the controversial ‘hat change’,

something which the par ty itself has frequently denounced in other towns. “If we don’t get an absolute majority in May I have no chance of staying on as mayor” admits Gorrín, conscious that the knives are out for him and references can be expected in the media to his likely prosecution over the Los Gigantes rockslide tragedy in November 2009, which left two women dead.

Guía de Isora mayor Pedro Martín was on hand to open the new cultural centre in Chio, much to the delight of residents of this small town.

The centre is the 16th of its kind in the Guía de Isora borough, something the mayor is rightly proud of, and at the inaugural function he stated that this places the borough at the top of the Canary Islands in terms of cultural centres per head of population.

He said, “this new installation gives people in Chio a place where they can come to dance,

enjoy theatre, hold conferences, study, a place where they can be entertained and grow and a

population centre”. He said that the centre was essential to Chio and “was a debt that was

New health centre in Callao Salvaje R

esidents and visitors to South Tenerife have a new health facility at their disposal since the International Beauty Life centre opened in Callao Salvaje.

At the well attended opening evening the new private centre’s director Dr Daniele Taddei told Island Connections that they were already offering a service with eight qualified doctors and four nurses, including general medicine, cosmetic surgery, or thopaedic and trauma treatment, physiotherapy, and general surgical consul-

tations and would soon be adding a range of new specialities including pediatric medicine and gynaecology to the list.

Patients attending can benefit from a translation service with English, Spanish, German, Russian, Italian, Portuguese and French catered for, and the clinic accepts an increasing number of clients holding private medical insurances.

On the night of the inauguration there was a diverse menu of acts, and within days of the official opening the centre was already in use with a number of courses taking place under the tutelage of the Municipal school for leisure and free time. It will also be used for school festivals, and the Chigora CEIP in Chio will be basing their Carnaval celebrations there as well. The centre is built on three levels, with six classrooms, a large study hall, an auditorium, a computer zone, bathrooms, lockers, a large indoor patio and outdoor terrace.

There are bathrooms and the building is wheelchair friendly with ramps and a lift.

Relief at raider arrests

Chemists and other shops in south Tenerife are breathing easier at the news that two men behind a string of armed raids in recent months are behind bars provisionally.

The Spanish pair were arrested by police in the area after a two-month spree during which they robbed at least six local shops wearing balaclavas and brandishing Stanleytype knives. Witnesses to the raids reported in all cases that they had driven off in a black Ford Focus.

The raiders’ victims included two chemists in Armeñime and Miraverde (Adeje) and three supermarkets.

Police sources say the pair are heroin addicts and have previous criminal records, a circumstance taken into account by the Arona judge who remanded them to Tenerife II prison to await trial.

How Much Of Your Estate Will You Leave To The Taxman?

Spanish succession tax in the Canary Islands

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

M

y article in the last Island Connections issue covered UK inheritance tax which affects a large number of British expatriates living here.

This issue I move on to cover Spanish succession tax (SST).

SST is due where the person inheriting your assets is resident in Spain, or if the asset being inherited is a Spanish asset, such as a property in Spain or bank accounts in a Spanish bank. It also applies to lifetime gifts in the same circumstances.

There is no blanket exception between spouses so, for example, a widow inheriting assets from her husband is liable to SST. In Spain, it is the recipient who pays the tax on the amount they receive, after any allowances are applied. Unless varied by an Autonomous

maximum of €1 million). The allowance on inheritances for spouses and children is €18,500 and for the other relatives listed above it’s €9,300. Unmarried couples registered as a ‘pareja de hecho’ are treated as spouses. The main home relief is still capped at €122,606 but increased to 99 per cent and the property only needs to be kept for five years.

Community (AC), the rates range from 7.65 per cent to 34 per cent. The amount of tax payable is then subject to multipliers, depending on the relationship of the inheritor and his/her net wealth. Spouses’, children’s and parents’ worth under €402,678 suffer no increase, but for everyone else the tax due is multiplied by between 1.05 and 2.4, the top rate of succession tax being almost 82 per cent.

State or regional rules?

State rules Vir tually ever yone in Spain is liable to SST on the death of their spouse or partner as the tax free allowance for spouses, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and parents is just €15,957. Siblings, cousins, nephews/nieces, uncles/aunts and in-laws receive €7,993. No allowances are available to anyone else, not even to unmarried partners registered as a ‘pareja de hecho’. There is a 95 per cent allowance against the main home capped at €122,606 each for a spouse or child, who must

own their share of the property for at least 10 years.

Canary Island rules

The ACs can var y the State rules and in the Ca-

nar y Islands the rules are ver y beneficial. Spouses and children receive a 99.9 per cent reduction in inheritances payable on death (100 per cent for children under 18 up to a

You can only benefit from the Canar y Island rules if you are ‘habitually resident’ here, i.e. have been living in the Canar y Islands for five years at your death.

If not, or your AC cannot be determined, the State rules apply. So if you have been living here but for some reason have not declared yourself for tax purposes, your spouse and children will suffer the more pernicious State rules.

It is important to understand the various rules and how they apply to you, as well as how they affect the UK inheritance tax position. A wealth management

firm like Blevins Franks will guide you through them and explain how you may lower your SST liability.

The tax rates, scope and reliefs may change. Any statements concerning taxation are based upon our understanding of current taxation laws and practices which are subject to change. Tax information has been summarised; an individual must take personalised advice.

espite the continuing fact that women drivers have fewer and less serious accidents than men, the EU has ruled that insurance companies can no longer offer them preferential rates.

According to the Justice Tribunal of the EU, a person’s sex should not have any effect on the calculation of the price of a policy and all such discounts have to disappear by December 21, 2012. What the insurance companies consider risk management, the Court has decided is discrimination.

What next? Will young people now take the companies to court on a charge of age discrimination?

However the door has been left open for member states to allow exceptions in the policy premium, independent of sex.

Unemployment

More jobless The number of unemployed reached new heights in February and the number of those registered as looking for work is now almost 4.3 million people.

W

hat is even more worrying is that the rate of job losses is intensifying for the first time in two years.

Job losses were felt in all the regions with the exception of the Balearics and there is no sign that the bottom has yet been reached. Despite increases in the number of visitors, the service sector is the hardest hit and accounts for 58 per cent of the new job losses. The number first of time job seekers has also risen by 24 per cent over the last year.

F

igures for the UK continue to be disappointing with a drop of 5.3 per cent in January of the number of tourists, particularly affected were Andalusia and Catalonia; however the number coming to the Canaries has seen a healthy increase.

The Canaries were the main international tourist destination in January and boasted an increase of 70,000 more visitors than last year.

Environment

Green jobs The green economy now provides 2.2 percent of the overall employment in Spain.

T

here are now 407,200 workers in Spain currently employed in environmentally friendly jobs and the Green sector represents 2.4 per cent of the country’s GDP according to a recent study by a UN environmental group.

Statistics

More tourists O ve r 1 0 0,0 0 0 m o re international tourists arrived in Spain this January than the same period last year.

T

he increase for January was 4.7 per cent over 2010, 119,000 more inter-

million to just over €4,000 million. Exports are almost back to 2008, pre-crisis levels.

All the economic sectors improved their export levels in 2010, and geographically, the increased sales to Latin America, Asia and the nonEU European countries have been particularly pleasing.

Non EU exports now make up 32.3 per cent of all export business.

Mortgage rate

Euribor rise Commentsby thePresident

of the Central European Bank, Jean- Claude Trichet recently caused the Euribor inter-bank lending rate to soar on the back of the markets’ belief that the price of lending money will be increased in April.

T

he President said it was possible, although not certain that the rate would be increased and the Euribor increased from 1.78 to 1.924, the highest daily increase in its history. For those whose mortgages are linked to the Euribor, the majority of us in Spain, the increase on an average mortgage (which currently lies at €127,767 over 22 years with a differential of 0.5 per cent) will be around €45 a month.

national tourists, the first increase in the number of foreign visitors in 18 months.

Germany and France saw increases of 5.5 per cent and 0.6 per cent respectively and in the case of Germany the majority of the increase in visitors had the Canaries as their destination.

Exports increase Hopeful signs throughout the year were confirmed by the end of year results and Spanish exports increased by 17.4 per cent in 2010 in comparison with the previous year.

T

he balance of payments deficit has dropped to 4.9 per cent of GDP compared to the 10 per cent of three years ago, dropping from €40,000

Turning point?

The Bank of Spain has confirmed that they perceive signs of a slight recovery in the economy at the beginning of this year.

hey forecast improvements in consumption and investment. However they warn that the result has been caused in part by the increased tourism as a result of problems in other destinations, and may be, “transitory”.

Dear Dr. De La Flor Dear Dr. De La Flor,

By Dr. De La Flor

Joggers are prone to shin splints

- The panel made a strong recommendation that doctors should “treat” impacted ear wax when it causes symptoms or gets in the way of an examination.

I have shin splints often.

What can I do to treat and prevent them?

Sincerely, Jonas

- Symptoms of too much ear wax: pain, itching of the ear, ringing of the ears (tinnitus), or hearing loss.

Dear Jonas, Shin splints aren’t really a single medical condition.

Instead, they’re just a symptom of an underlying problem.

They might be caused by a myriad of causes: irritated and swollen muscles, often caused by overuse; stress fractures, which are tiny, hairline breaks in the lower leg bones; over pronation or ‘flat feet’ - when the impact of a step causes the arch of your foot to collapse, stretching the muscles and tendons.

some of the guidelines’ highlights:

Here are some other things you can try: - Icing the shin to reduce pain and swelling. Do it for 15-20 minutes several times per day for a few days or until the pain is gone.

Runners might get them after ramping up their workout intensity, or changing the surface they run on. Shin splints cause dull, aching pain in the front of the lower leg. Some people feel it only during exercise; others, when they’ve stopped exercising.

Depending on the exact cause, the pain may be located along either side of the shinbone or in the muscles.

The area may be painful to the touch. Swollen muscles can sometimes irritate the nerves in the feet, causing them to feel weak or numb.

- Use anti-inflammator y as well as mild painkillers.

Although shin splints may be caused by different problems, treatment is usually the same: Rest your body so the underlying issue heals.

There’s no way to say exactly when your shin splints will go away. It depends on what’s causing them. The most important thing is not

- Use arch supports for your shoes.

- Perform a range of motion exercises and stretching.

to rush back into your sport.

While you heal, you could take up a new non-impact activity that won’t aggravate your shin splints. For instance, runners might try swimming.

To prevent shin splints, you should always wear shoes with good support and padding; warm up properly before working out, making sure to stretch the muscles in your legs; stop working out as soon as you feel pain in your shins.

Don’t run or play on hard surfaces like concrete.

- A neoprene sleeve might help you to support and warm the leg.

Dear Dr. De La Flor,

- Some people need physical therapy to strengthen the muscles in their shins.

I have a lot of ear wax.

What’s the best way to treat that?

Sincerely, Wendy

Dear Wendy,

The body is a miraculous mechanism. Consider the once-lowly earwax (cerumen).

People used to try to remove it. Now, we know that earwax has a job to do. Think of it kind of like the oil in your car, except it doesn’t ever have to be changed! Earwax is created by a mixture of secretions from glands that line the ear canal, skin cells, and bits of hair. It acts as a cleaning agent, which also protects and lubricates part of the sensitive ear canal.

Normally, excess wax eases its way out of your ear without any prompting on your part, helped along by the movement of your jaw. That’s when it can be cleaned out a bit, but it’s advised that you don’t go looking for it and only clean out earwax once it emerges on its own. So, although earwax is essentially good, too much of it can cause problems.

The American Academy of Otolaryngology recently released the new guidelines for safely removing excess earwax. I’ll share with you

How are we supposed to remove it? One way is with irrigation, gently letting water wash out the excess wax.

People with hearing aids are advised to get checked regularly for ear wax buildup.

This can help maintain hearing aid function and lower risk of damage to the hearing aid. The guidelines strongly advised that people do not use cotton swabs or ear candling to clean earwax on their own, many burns and side effects have been reported and interestingly enough, they are normally performed by people with no credentials.

Those who are high-risk for impacted earwax are advised to get checked ever y six to 12 months for routine cleaning. You could buy an over-the-counter product named ‘otocer um’ that contains a combination of a natural oil (lubricates) plus an antiseptic substance to ward off infection. By using it a couple of times per week you can avoid the cerumen building up and/or getting impacted and therefore you’ll reduce the number of visits to the doctor. Ask your GP for more details.

care of ourselves W

hy don’t we stop doing things that are not bottom-line oriented for ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? We set aside time to get a work project done, but we don’t set aside time to take care of ourselves. If you know that there are areas of your life that can and should improve, you must first own it and take responsibility for it. Let’s take ownership and responsibility for who we are.

Resolution: Let’s try for the next two weeks to be bold and daring with ourselves. He “who dares wins” is the motto of the SAS, the Elite British Commando unit.

Let’s dare to analyse the real reasons we do things.

Let’s be totally honest with ourselves, stopping the blaming or victimising game. Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

Dr. De La Flor, licensed G.P. Holds certificates in coaching, nutrition and medical exercise from Berkeley University and the American Council on Exercise. His medical approach is highly influenced by Positive Psychology; an empowering, encompassing way of approaching patients through the study of their strengths and virtues to enable them to thrive and lead fulfilling lives, accept the past, find happiness in the present, and hope for the future.

uying a property will involve you in costs over an above your mortgage, some of which are obligator y and some of which can be considered optional. Obligator y costs which you will have to face include the following:

is acceptable to all of them as the report is your property and can be touted from bank to bank.

IAJD mortgages

This is a 0.5 per cent charge not just on the basic loan but also on possible interests and charges that may result from non-payment and the lender has to take possession of the property to clear the debt. It tends to be calculated at around 150 per cent of the original loan, but depends on the lender.

ITP

The is the Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales, or transfer tax which must be paid by the buyer within 30 days of the date of the escritura.

Depending on the province, expect to pay between 2.5 and seven per cent.

Insurance

IAJD

Impuesto sobre Actos Jurídicos Documentados – a tax for judicial services which tends to be around 0.5 per cent of the price of the property registered in the escritura, although it can vary between regions. If you have to take out a mortgage you will also have to pay to have this document registered.

Basic supplies

When you buy a property you may have to register for various services. For example, gas installation, around €66.44, fixed telephone line €131 (look out for free offers if you can wait), register for water supply up to €120 and electricity, €90 for new homes and around €6 for second hand properties.

With a second hand property all you will need to do is change the name on the account, in which case the costs will be lower.

During the transition period of the sale, the charges are the responsibility of the person named in the purchase/sale contract.

Community charges

If you buy a new property in a community with shared facilities you will have to pay for your share of legally setling

Costs

up an owner’s community.

Depending on how many neighbours are involved, and the joint registration for basic services for common areas, this could easily add up to €360.

Optional costs which may have to be taken into account include: Costs relating to the deeds

Unless alternatives are agreed, the seller pays the notary’s charges for preparing the deeds of the property and the buyer pays for the copies, around €30 to €90.

If you have a mortgage, the addition of the lender’s name to the deeds is your responsibility to pay and will cost around €500.

Property registration

To put the property in your

name you have to officially register it. The cost of that can rise to around €400. You’ll also have to pay the inscription fee for presenting the documents, around €6 plus IVA (VAT) per deed and the fiscal notes which are around €3 each.

Nota Simple

If you have found a second hand property you are interested in, before buying it, it would be a good idea to go to the Property Registry office and ask for a Nota Simple to check that it has no loans secured against it. The Nota Simple will cost you €3.46.

Mortgage costs Opening commission

This is a percentage of the total amount of the loan requested and is negotiable with your lender, it tends to be

within 0.5 and one per cent of the total loan.

Valuation

The cost of the valuation of the property is your responsibility, whether you are valuing it for your own benefit, or for mortgage purposes. The company which carries out the valuation is independent of the lender and the charge based on the size and value of the property to be inspected. Costs vary but expect to pay between €150 and €210. If your lender uses more than one valuation company you are normally free to negotiate which one to use and the best price for the job. Please note that even if you don’t finally sign with the lender the valuation costs are your responsibility. If you are negotiating with various banks, it’s a good idea to make sure the valuation company you use

Lenders would normally insist that you take out as a minimum, fire insurance, which guarantees the value of the mortgaged property during the period of the loan, and the bank is the beneficiar y of any payout up to the amount of the valuation of the property, minus the valuation of the land.

• Fire policies cost around €60-90 a year.

• Life insurance is recommended up to the value of the amount owing on the loan, so that if there is a death the mortgage is cleared.

• A multi-risk insurance is also advisable.

The latter two are not obligatory, however if they form part of the agreement with the bank for the interest rate you have agreed on, try and negotiate that you can choose your own insurance company, a company that suits you best.

Gestor/solicitor

You may want to contract someone to act on your behalf with all the paperwork.

If you do so make sure you know what you are paying for.

Ideally, the person who acts for you should be responsible if he or she makes a mistake and you should have that in writing. If for example you buy a property and then find

there is a secured loan against it which they failed to detect, or public works planned which is going to take half your garden.

Do not assume that the same rules apply here as would apply for example in the UK. If you want the person doing your conveyancing to be responsible for their work you must have that written down and signed by you both when you contract their services. A verbal, “of course we are responsible,” will not stand up in court.

If you are not au fait with the system or the language, it is always advisable to contract a professional. They can help you sort out all the paperwork, but of course it will cost you more.

Minimum charges are based on the price of the property, from there on each ‘gestor’ charges as they see fit. Make sure you know what you are letting yourself in for before you start – in writing! Charges for a property costing around €108,182 will be an average of €210.

Council charges

On a second hand property you will also have to pay a municipal charge - the Impuesto sobre el Incremento del Valor de los Terrenos de Naturaleza Urbana. This is a charge based on the increase in value of the land since the last time it was bought and sold. The charge is around 30 per cent of that increase.

The increase will depend on how long it is since the property was last transferred, multiplied by the increase in value of the land. The law says that the seller is responsible for this charge, unless the contract says otherwise. However if they don’t pay it the council may look to you to find the seller and get him or her to stump up. It can be wiser to drop the purchase price of the property by the amount of this charge and be responsible for it yourself.

Gardening

Going Potty!

Many residents in the sunny Canary Isles don’t have access to a garden so house plants are a great idea for those who enjoy a little gardening. Houseplants can also give life and depth to indoor décor.

An artificial indoor environment can often hinder plant growth.

Conditions in the Canaries such as high temperatures, low humidity, poor potting conditions and lack of water (and that’s only inside your house!) all contribute to the house plants’ early demise. Here are a few tips to help your plants survive.

1). Temperature

Different species of plants vary in their temperature requirements.

Most foliage houseplants can tolerate between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

The night temperature needs to drop by at least 10 to 15 degrees.

Heaters or air conditioning systems can damage plants if they are subjected to a sudden change in temperature, so place plants away from the air streams.

2). Humidity

Humidity is the amount of moisture found in the air, which can affect plant growth. Most foliage plants are injured when humidity is less than 15 to 20 per cent. Low humidity causes leaf drying and curling. Humidity levels can be raised in a room by using a home humidifier machine, or more cheaply by spraying the plant leaves with clean water. The plant should only be sprayed in the morning. If the leaves are damp overnight then disease may take hold. In your home there are usually two high humidity areas, the bathroom and kitchen. Plants can thrive in these two areas.

27

3). Potting Conditions

Poor potting conditions can include the soil quality, type of pot used and insect pest invasion. Outside garden soil should not be used in potting plants, instead use a bought compost soil. A fertiliser may be needed and the quantity and frequency depends on the plant type. Generally for active growing plants fertilise every two months. Don’t fertilise dormant plants.

The wrong type of pot can hinder the growth of the plant and the root development. The size of pot should be judged on the plant and root size. Not only when you buy the plant but for its capacity of future growth. The roots need to be at a correct depth to gain water, oxygen and nutrients without being cramped. Insects and other pests can invade the plant and soil damaging the plants’ condition. The best way to prevent infestation is to inspect plants carefully before bringing them into the house. Other actions taken once an infestation has occurred can be to use a pesticide spray, wash the plants with soapy water, or even wipe the leaves with swabs of alcohol.

4). Lack of Water

All plants differ in water needs. It can depend on species, location, age etc. General guidelines are to wet the soil through at each watering. Excess water should drain through the bottom of the pot. Don’t water again when the soil is still wet, this can lead to rotting roots. The water used should be of room temperature and certain species can require rainwater instead.

These are just four handy hints to keep your houseplants going. For further in depth advice contact your local garden centre.

Planning your bedroom T

he bedroom plays a more impor tant role in the house than people give it credit for. It is often the one room in the house that is neglected; visitors seldom go in there, we ‘only’ sleep there so what does it matter and it’s often the place we store things when space is tight.

All well and good but the state of your bedroom can actually have quite a profound effect on your health and happiness. Getting a good night’s rest is very important and there are many things we can do to help turn our bedroom into what it should be - a sanctuary of peace, relaxation and uncluttered comfort.

Whether large or small a bedroom should be kept as empty as possible. Consider carefully what furniture you really need in there, maybe you can keep the size of your wardrobe down by storing

clothes you don’t wear often in another room. Do you really need a dressing table? - Would just a mirror and a small shelf do? Can the dirty laundry basket go in the bathroom? And, possibly the most important point of all – Consider carefully before placing any electrical equipment in the bedroom – watching television immediately before sleeping can cause disturbed nights and many therapists say that even the presence of a computer in the bedroom can have a negative effect on our sleep patterns.

Choose light and airy colours.

Create the impression of space and a relaxing atmosphere with whites with a hint of apple or blue, creams or lemon. Try to coordinate curtains and bed covers, also in light colours if your bedroom is small. Matching or well chosen linen can easily create a sense of style. Avoid deep colours like

red or orange, they create energy and aren’t appropriate for a restful environment. The bed is usually the largest piece of furniture and therefore needs the most thought.

If there are two of you try to make sure both of you can get in and out freely – try not to put the bed in a corner if possible.

Don’t block cupboards, windows or walkways and think carefully about the way wardrobe and cupboard doors open- tr y to keep accesses free and usable. Throws and scatter cushions can create a feeling of luxury and comfort.

Keep lighting subtle; low wattage lighting in all four corners will make a room appear bigger and is much more relaxing than bright ceiling lighting. Keep paintings, pictures and wall decorations to a minimum, choose images that invoke feelings of contentment, reminders of pleasurable moments or beautiful places.

Let the last thing you see before you go to sleep be something positive, the last thing you’re aware of a feeling of comfort and well being.

M

ost readers will have heard about the recent appointment of 17 tourist accommodation inspectors across the Canar y Islands, whose task is to clamp down on the apparent illegal renting of self-catering accommodation to tourists.

Many property owners are, however, unsure about the law governing renting to tourists and the implications for their own properties.

The current position

Ley 7/1995 (as amended by Ley 5/1999) was introduced throughout the Canar y Islands in an apparent attempt to harmonise the regulation and administration of short term rentals to tourists. This law states that on a community or complex which is legally designated as ‘touristic’ (as opposed to merely ‘residential’), owners may commercially rent their properties to tourists provided that they do so through a single agent or administrative entity, which has obtained the exclusive licence to exploit on that complex.

First and foremost, on any complex or community of owners, rentals to tourists on shortterm lets may only take place if more than 50 per cent of the entire community wishes to rent to tourists. (e.g. 151 out of 300 total apartments). If that 50 per cent plus one unit cannot be achieved, then the complex will essentially be classed as ‘residential’, whereby only longterm renting is possible.

Secondly, of that majority number who wish to rent to tourists (be it 151 or 300), 50 per cent plus one unit of that majority must then also approve the appointment of a single rental agent or entity.

Therefore, if one agent cannot obtain the necessary majority, then nobody is allowed to rent to tourists at all.

Notwithstanding that this law raises serious constitutional

EDITION 638 :: 11/03/2011 - 24/03/2011 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

Renting your property to tourists

By John Hatrick, Tenerife Solicitors and competition law issues, it has the more serious effect of depriving the Canary Islands of millions of euros of rental income and tax revenues, not to mention the livelihoods of thousands of workers who are dependent on the self-catering rental industry. Given the current financial crisis, the issue is now of greater concern than ever before. Despite having been in force for well over a decade, it is also shocking to note that ver y few of the touristic complexes in Tenerife are properly regulating the appointment of the required single agent or entity.

The law initially requires that the agent or entity that obtains the majority approval must obtain certification of approval from the owners, and then go before a notary public to prove and document the required majority. The agent must then file such paperwork with the tourist authority and apply for the sole exploitation licence for the particular complex for a minimum period of three years.

However, the law goes on to vaguely suggest that individual communities may alternatively agree their own provisions and procedures in respect of the technical formalities.

In reality, it appears that very few, if any, of the tourist complexes in Tenerife have ever reviewed or renewed the sole exploitation licence for the incumbent sole agent, nor have they returned to the community of owners to re-confirm that the majority of those owners are

What is the current position? still happy to rent to tourists, or that more than half of those still wishing to rent to tourists also wish to retain or reappoint the current sole agent. Instead, when questioned or challenged as to the current validity of their appointment and asked to prove that they hold the requisite 50 per cent approval,

right to petition for a review of the sole-exploitation licence, to demand a vote in respect of the required majority and to insist on a renewal or review procedure. Needless to say, thousands of disgruntled owners simply choose to defy the law and rent to tourists privately or through one of the dozens of

agent at the next AGM. So what are the potential outcomes for each complex taking a vote to re-appoint their existing sole agent? At the time of writing, it appears that a considerable number of the current sole agents would fail to retain their majority. Such complexes would then be left in the ridicu-

many sole exploitation agents are either ignoring the issue or are suggesting that the authority they obtained a decade ago somehow grants them a licence for eternity that never needs to be reviewed.

Research suggests that a large number of the incumbent sole management agents have become so unpopular over the past decade that very few would be likely to attain majority approval from the owners if a further vote was taken. Fortunately for those agents, very few owners are aware of their

reputable independent agents.

The fact that fewer than 0.01 per cent of those defiant owners have ever been prosecuted or fined also speaks volumes.

However, in light of the appointment of the new inspectors, many owners and independent agents are becoming increasingly concerned and are now taking steps to protect their position. As a result, it appears that numerous community presidents will soon be receiving demands from owners to review the appointment of their sole exploitation

lous position where no owne r s whatsoever are entitled to rent their properties to tourists.

Despite what I am sure would be the short-term and shor t-sighted glee of hoteliers up and down the island, the reality is that the vast self-catering industry in Tenerife is hardly going to ‘shut up

shop’ because of the inadvertent result of an ill-conceived law that most owners believe should be revised or repealed.

The reality is that most would simply continue to rent their property privately via friends and the internet or via one of the dozens of existing independent and reputable agents offering rental services. I suspect the 17 tourist inspectors would suddenly find themselves rather overwhelmed!

Clearly, tens of thousands of owners already openly flout the regulations. The existence and success of the dozens of independent rental agencies would seem to prove this. The small number of tourist inspectors employed over the past decade has done little or nothing to police the law. A small

handful of independent agents or owners appear to have received fines. Of those, most have negotiated the fine down to a derisory amount that hardly amounts to a legal deterrent. Others have appealed the penalty on principle,

PropertyConnections

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 638 :: 11/03/2011 - 24/03/2011

which in some cases has resulted in those legal proceedings being quietly swept under the rug and never resolved. In the meantime, the new tourist inspectors appear to be concentrating their harassment against independent rental agents with questionable demands for private information concerning their clients.

Clearly, this law, which applies exclusively to the Canary Islands and appears to be unique in Europe, needs to be revised or abolished. The alternative is to continue with unconstitutional, anti-competitive and largely unenforceable regulations that leave property owners fearful of maximising the rental of their properties and which leaves the alreadystruggling Canary Islands as the laughing stock of the worldwide tourism industry.

The two biggest concerns of the tourist authorities would appear to be maintaining a certain standard of accommodation whilst protecting tax revenue by ensuring rental income is properly declared. Clearly, the current law achieves neither. The private, unregulated rental industr y is now rife and many owners are essentially forced to operate in the black, where they are unlikely to declare their rental income, maintain proper liability insurance or comply with other tourism or health and safety regulations.

So what is the best solution for the Canary Islands? Some have advocated a system of compulsory regulation and registration for all commercial rental agents wishing to operate in the tourist market.

Whilst such system might not be perfect, it would be far easier to police than the current regulations and would certainly result in a far higher percentage of declared rental income, thereby generating much-needed tax revenues for the Canary Islands.

For advice or representation in respect of rental law or related issues, please contact John Hatrick or Antonio Castro on 922 717845 or email at info@tenerifesolicitors.com

DIY Handy Hints

W

 Smoke Detectors

A smoke detector is a simple concept designed to sense a presence of smoke and fumes before a raging fire takes hold. Homeowners in Britain are all urged to fit smoke detectors by the Fire Brigade, but most of us tend to forget when living in the islands.

There are two types of smoke detector systems, mains powered with battery backup or just self-contained battery operated. Most homeowners opt for the self contained battery detector as it is easy to install and simple to use.

 Buying a Detector

Various standards are available to buy. Check that the detector has the appropriate safety standard markings. If you are unsure about the detector conforming to standards ask an expert or look for a safety mark you already trust such as the British Standard Kitemark.

Models can have various extras such as an escape light. All should have a test button to check the battery is working.

 Where to install a detector

The detector should be installed where it will give the earliest possible warning to fire anywhere in the

home. Larger homes or those with two or more floors will possibly require more than one detector.

When looking for a place to install the detector, consider the room’s surroundings. Don’t install near a heater or air conditioning vent or where it could be triggered by steam such as a bathroom or kitchen.

In a two-storey home, it is ideal to fit one detector in the hallway just above the foot of the stairs and a second detector on an upstairs landing between all the bedrooms. In single level homes such as apartments, flats or bungalows fit a detector in the hallway halfway between the bedroom and the lounge. The lounge is one of the areas proven to start most home fires.

 How to install a detector

Most detectors should come as a package with fitting instructions.

Just in case your Spanish language skills aren’t quite up to it, here’s how to fit one.

Check the detector works before attaching to the ceiling. Install brand new high output batteries and test with the test button. If the detector works correctly then screw the detector to the ceiling at least 300mm (1ft) away from all the walls and light fittings. If it is easier to mount the detector on a wall then it must be at least 150mm (6in) but not more than 300mm (1ft) below the ceiling.

Once screwed to the wall or ceiling, check again that the detector is working correctly. Test the alarm occasionally over the year and change the battery at least once a year or when the low battery warning beeps sound. The warning beeps sound different from the alarm so there will be no confusion. The actual alarm sound is likely to be very piercing and continuous whereas the beeps will be quieter and frequent.

 Tools for the job • Smoke detector

 Buying fire blankets/extinguishers

The same principles apply as in buying a smoke detector. Check that the items conform to a safety standard and are of sufficient size for their purpose. An industrial kitchen for a restaurant would have different equipment than the average home kitchen.

 Installing fire blankets/ extinguishers

Fire blankets and extinguishers should be installed in the kitchen, as this is the other area that is proven to cause most home fires. If you have decided to buy both items of equipment then install them next to each other. They should be fixed to the wall within easy reach of an adult but not a child. Install near a door so the extinguisher can aid an escape route. They can be simply attached with a screwdriver and the wall bracket is included.

 Usage

A fire blanket is ideal for chip pan fires. The blanket should be removed from its holder and draped over the pan to starve it of oxygen.

Do not try to move the pan outside before or after adding the blanket and don’t try to extinguish it with water first. You will make the fire worse.

Use an extinguisher in accordance with the instructions. Most have some kind of handle release. Ensure that the extinguisher is replaced immediately after it has been used.

Most homeowners opt for the self contained battery detector model

Smoke alarms e all hear of horror stories about fires, smoke damage and the lives lost in house fires. Keep your risks to a minimum by guarding your home with a smoke detector and fire blankets/extinguishers. This is particularly important in the Canary Isles as many people live in apartments with no adequate fire escapes.

In the event of

a fire I

f you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit. In a fire, smoke and poisonous air hurt more people than the actual flames do. Crawl under the smoke to the nearest exit. The most important thing is that you get out safely. It’s also important to know that you shouldn’t stay in the house any longer than you must — not even to call 112. Someone else can make that call from outside. Once you’re out, do not go back in for anything — even pets. You can tell the emergency services about any pets that were left behind and they may be able to help.

This will also include the London Eye, the Empire State Building, the fountains of the White House in Washington and Table Mountain in South Africa. “The following is a list of activities in the Spanish peninsula for and about Patrick’s Day:

Ireland’s global family A message to Island Connections readers from the Irish Ambassador to Spain, Justin Harman “Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ar chlann mhór dhomhanda na nGael ar ár lá náisiúnta ceiliúrtha féin.

“It is a great pleasure to extend my warmest greetings to all Irish people and friends of Ireland in the Canar y Islands. Saint Patrick’s Day is a time for celebrating the best of the Irish and for demonstrating our pride in our homeland and our heritage.

The family of the Gael comes together on Saint Patrick’s Day both in Ireland but also in many diverse parts of the world. I am delighted that this includes the Canary Islands where the first Irish migrants arrived over 400 years ago and where thousands of Irish people still visit each year for their holidays. Ireland is very fortunate to have a large global family, not only consisting of the Irish ourselves but also of the large numbers of those who see themselves as friends of Ireland. I know that this includes many friends in the Canary Islands.

I had the honour of visiting the Canary Islands in the course of my first year as Irish Ambassador in Madrid.

Apart from meetings with the Government authorities, I met with many Irish residents and

I also was present at the launch of a handsome volume containing the history of the Cologan family, who have been in Tenerife since the early 1700s. I am hopeful that this volume will be formally presented to the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, during her official visit to Spain on 21-23 March, by its author Carlos Cologan Soriano of Tenerife.

We are working actively to ensure a successful visit by the President which will highlight the importance of Ireland’s economic relationship with Spain. The purpose of the visit is to celebrate a unique relationship and also to bring a strong message that Ireland is open for business. The economy is recovering. Our exports continue to perform well in the current challenging global environment. The Government is working, with the solidarity of our partners in the European Union, to address Ireland’s par ticular challenges within the framework of overall efforts to strengthen Europe’s economic prospects at a global level. Ireland is shouldering its responsibilities to future generations in laying the basis for a return to economic growth.”

The best fatburner on earth P

eople always ask me what the best fat burner is. Is it caffeine, ginsing, L-carnitine or even harder stuff like ephedrin?

The interesting part is that the supplements industry makes billions via the fat loss dream. But the truth is that none of them fulfil their promises.

Let’s go back to easy physiology. One kilo of body fat 7,000 kcal. So we need to find a way to use more energy than we intake to get rid of these kcals. The result would be a loss of fat.

Most people hope that by taking a pill they can increase their metabolic rate. But in what part of your body is energy actually used up? Your bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilages? No, of course not, none of them. What really burns energy are your muscles. They are the best fat burners available. So don’t be scared to put on some muscle mass, especially if ‘toning’ is your main goal. You can not tone bones! You need to understand that. Tonification is a high amout of muscles with a low amount of fat. The

more muscle mass you have the lower your fat percentage.

What are the other benefits of muscles?

• • • • • •

No muscles – no movement No muscles – no fatburn No muscles – no stability No muscles – no performance No muscles – no form No muscles – no life

Stop being scared about putting on some muscles. The more you get the better you look. And you will not end up looking like a bodybuilder unless you are training for years and years, so don’t worry.

So instead of paying hundreds of euros for crazy diets or products you’d be better off spending a little bit of money on a gym membership and use the muscles you have got.

When a child is born

Parents name Bañolas godfather

A

child born on the night of December 24th in a helicopter belonging to the Canarian Health Service has been baptised, with heath minister Fernando Bañolas as godfather.

The ceremony took place on Saturday February 26th in the parish of Morro Jable, in Fuerteventura when Randolph Alexander, son of Naiyebe Manón was baptised. The child’s godmother is Saidy Calderón. According to the regional department of health

the emergency services have assisted in many births, in ambulances, on streets, and even on the motorway while on the way to the hospital as well as guiding parents through births by phone when the services were on their way.

However the department say that this is the first helicopter birth in 16 years.

The mother was being brought to hospital by the helicopter service out of Gran Canaria who received the call for emergency assistance from the Morro Jable health centre when her son decided

to arrive, with the assistance of on board doctor Víctor Gomez and nurse Isidro Requena. Ten minutes later mother and son were in the care of the staff at the Fuerteventura Virgin de la Peña General Hospital.

The boy’s christening had to be delayed until he was discharged from hospital after spending over a month in an incubator. Naiyebe said she could think of “no better person than the minister” to act as a godfather on behalf of all who had worked so hard to bring baby Randolf into the world.

Dog bites man

By Clio O’Flynn

R

ecently a member of my family was bitten in the foot by a pit bull terrier. He had intervened to stop his own cocker spaniel, who was on a lead and under a chair outside a café in Callao Salvaje, being attacked.

The owner of the pit bull was in tears after the incident – in fact when we returned from the hospital two and a half hours later she was still crying. The injured party had shed tears of agony before he was attended to, but he was extremely kind to the noninjured party who seemed the most upset of the three (I include myself in the story as an active witness and extremely angry by-stander).

The two year old female pit bull has, by this person’s own admittance, attacked other dogs in the past, but not people, and on this occasion actually was intending to attack

another dog – who I believe would have been extremely seriously injured if there had been no human intervention, but who escaped with minor injuries. There were also a number of young children metres away from the attack, who could have also been injured had they inadvertently ‘got in the way’ of the pit bull and her intended target.

However it was obvious that the owner of the pit bull had little control over the dog, with inadequate attention to the need, in fact legal requirement, to have her dog muzzled at all times in public. The victim of the attack has suffered physical injury, was unable to work for several weeks and as he is self-employed this has been financially damaging, is unable to collect his child from school or engage in other activities that require driving, as well as the long term damage to his foot. All because of an irresponsible owner.

To be fair – she is not the only owner of this kind nor

Dangerous breeds must wear a muzzle at all times in public

Do not disturb

Long feline siestas

When our cats are asleep, we might notice their whiskers twitch, that they sometimes change their posture, adopt strange positions, or even make vocal sounds.

Yes, cats do dream (probably of a nice tasty mouse...) and like all mammals, in the deepest sleep phase (known as REM), much neurological activity takes place and they have semi-conscious experiences – just like humans.

Tiny kittens who are growing can sleep for as much as 90 per cent of the

day. Sleep for them is an essential activity, a time when their bodies secrete hormones which are indispensable for adequate development. It is always good advice not to disturb your little four-legged friends, as you could be interfering with these processes which only happen while they sleep.

Sleep is also highly important for an adult cat, who could sleep for 16 to 18 hours a day, of which about 30 per cent is dedicated to body repairing during deep sleep. Both young kittens and adult cats are semi-alert during light sleep. They are still relaxing, but if they hear something interesting, smell appetising food or feel their human’s caress, they immediately awaken to investigate and enjoy.

Live Arico >>

Live Arico

Thanks to is this level of selfish, illegal and irresponsible behaviour limited to Callao Salvaje. Every day we see owners of dogs officially classed as ‘dangerous breeds’ on the streets without a muzzle, and sometimes off the lead, with owners assuring that “they’re really gentle” or “they wouldn’t hurt a fly”, until they do.

Less than a year ago a pit bull killed the three year old son of its owner in Santa Cruz. There was public outcry, people called for investigations into why and how this happened.

And then it all died down, and so until the next child dies because a dog that is apparently ‘really gentle’ kills.

And it will happen soon, in a street near you, unless there is more police action to actually stop and fine these owners.

Laws only work when they’re implemented, and hue and cry after the event doesn’t bring back a child or save an injured limb.

What can we do?

It’s actually daunting to approach someone you don’t know who is walking a dangerous breed dog without a muzzle or off the lead and threaten them with police action, especially if you believe that in fact the police will not do anything.

One way is perhaps to take a photograph of the offending dog and owner and take it to the police. However more effective perhaps is to take

advantage of the fact that local elections are looming and make your voice heard at local council offices and talk to councillors and ask that they ensure the police take this matter as seriously as they need to.

Under Spanish law the dangerous breeds include Pit Bull and Staffordshire terriers, Rottweiler, Argentine Dogo/ Mastiff, Fila Brasileiro, Tosa Inu and Akita Inu. Owners of these dogs are obliged to have the dog licenced by the local council, be over 18, be certifiably physically and psychologically capable of controlling the dog in question – the certificate can be obtained through your local medical centre, and have a civil third party cover insurance of up to €120,000 for the dog.

Furthermore the owner is supposed to carry relevant paperwork when out in public with the dog. The dog must, by law, in all circumstances, wear a muzzle in public. Also the lead used must be less then two metres in length and non-extendable. Also no one person may have more than one dog described as a ‘dangerous breed’ with them at any one time.

These dogs can be loving and loyal, but they are labeled ‘dangerous breeds’ for a reason – uncontrolled they are just that, dangerous.

Two fast moving shows allowed the students to entertain the audiences with jokes, songs and convincing acting.

In Jack and the Beantin, Fiona Henderson was magnificent as principal boy Jack and the double dame parts of Mrs Broke (JJ GibsonTaylor) and Mrs Scrubber (Scott Taylor) were superbly overacted. In a twist that added to the humour, the giant (Meena Matta) was played by the smallest person in the cast. He did not scare anyone but that was the point.

Strong supporting roles were played

by Mathew Marshal (the beanseller) and Megan Gibbs (Jack’s girlfriend Beth). Gertrude the cow (Lucy Tiplady) rounded off the cast as the mistress of

transition was difficult, no. I am just happy to be performing.”

Mitch is looking forward to his trip to Tenerife and told Island Connections, “I have been to Tenerife many times before. I am a big fan of Adeje and have friends who live on the island.

My gig is on the 18th but I am coming out earlier and staying later so I can make a holiday of it. It will be nice to catch up with friends and enjoy the sunshine.

I’m looking forward to eating the local food and having a few days off relaxing with my beautiful wife who is joining me on the trip. On stage Mitch entertains audiences with a selection of classic jazz songs including Please Be Kind, How Insensitive and You Go To My Head. Alongside classic jazz standards, he joins a list of illustrious artists from Elton John to Matt Monro by performing songs written especially by Tony Hiller.

On his musical ambitions Mitch told us, “My musical ambitions are to entertain and play shows in amazing venues, like Siam Park for example. I love to play shows and I hope to play lots more across the globe. It would also be great to record a second album in the near future.”

Tickets available from Tick Tack Ticket and Halcon Viajes and at Siam Park.

comedy with some clever one-liners.

Although Aladdin was on second it was definately not second rate. Lois Whitelaw, as principal boy Aladdin, was lively and entertaining. Aladdin’s mum Widow Twanky, was ably performed

by Ryan Kelly.

We were scared by the evil wizard Abanazer (Thomas Sessions) and bewitched by the score-shooting genie (Grete Vood). The ghost (Alison Colles) had us all shouting “she’s behind you” to Aladdin and Widow Twanky during bouts of ap-

parent deafness. The narrator, Ellie Gipps, kept us on track with the story and the escape from a dark and evil place was accomplished with ease by the slave of the ring (Mayzie Hopkins).

Meanwhile back at the palace a sophisticated Princess Jasmine (Pia Eriksen) saved the day by rescuing the lamp.

Both casts joined together for the final song Celebration and they did live happily ever after. A little bit of British cultural life certainly did brighten up the Tenerife winter.

restaurant review

Great Little Italy Gourmet great I

t’s impossible to make a good restaurant review anonymously, at least if you want good food photographs to show the readers what they can expect, but occasionally calling attention to yourself with the tripod etc. has its benefits as we’ll explain later.

This edition’s highlighted restaurant is the Great Little Italy in the CC Litoral Fañabé about 200 yards from Puerto Colón behind the Hotel Guayarmina Princess. Inside, there’s open stone and brickwork details with busts of the Caesars and various districts in Italy emblazoned on the walls and outside, one of the largest and most spectacular terraces we have seen.

It’s bliss to relax on this divine terrace and sip a Negroni whilst you thumb through their extraordinarily ample menu and wine list, to watch the sun set behind La Gomera and the fishing boat lights start to twinkle as a fully lighted cruise ship passes on the horizon.

Widely spaced tables ensure comfort and privacy and the staff are a joy to have around, happy, professional, friendly and super efficient as well as multilingual.

You will automatically be brought some fresh baked rolls with butter and an olive cocktail (olives, gherkins, garlic mayonnaise and charcuterie).

At €1.20 this is not expensive, but if you don’t want it, just tell your waiter or you could choose an alternative such as the garlic bread or crostini.

Soups and starters are priced from less than €4 and cover the whole gamut from prawn cocktail to stuffed crêpes, fried Camembert and fresh mussels in various sauces. Meat dishes start at €7.75 and fish at €8.85.

You could eat every night for a year at this restaurant, it would seem, and not repeat a meal.

Meat choices include chicken in red wine with mushrooms and bacon; or with coconut or blue cheese; various cuts of beef with red wine, garlic, pepper mushrooms and onion sauce; all spice Jamaican pepper; three

pepper sauce; truffle sauce with bacon and smoked salmon and flambéed in vodka; pork with peppers, onions, garlic and chilli in a barbecue sauce, or with a demi-glace sauce and roasted apple. Or you can choose your own sauce and side dishes from a separate list.

Meat specialities include roast lamb with rosemar y, beef stroganoff, three kings (pork fillet, beef steak and chicken breast with three types of sauce) and two giant cuts of meat including a Porterhouse steak with garlic sauce and fine herbs which weighs in at around 700g.

For fish and shellfish lovers, the menu choices here would be hard to beat. Swordfish, tuna, fresh white fish, gilt head bream, Dover sole, salmon and King prawns are all on offer with a selection of delectable sauces. There are finger-licking mixed shellfish and fish grills, or shellfish selections and just the descriptions are enough to make your mouth water. For example, scallops and king prawns in a champagne sauce with spinach and rice.

There’s an excellent selection of real paellas and not the excuse for paella normally dished out to tourists and of course, as this is an Italian restaurant, pastas and pizzas.

Pasta dishes start at €6.15 and include the classics like spaghetti Bolognese, or oven baked pasta dishes, fresh egg tagliatelle and fettuccine, the little filled pasta parcels - tortellini and pasta di mare with fish.

Pizza prices begin at €6.75, a crispy base freshly baked pizza too. There are 17 standard pizzas to choose from, seven

gourmet choices or you can start with the pizza base, tomato and Mozzarella and add your own choice of toppings for an à la carte personalised pizza.

From the excellent and all embracing wine list, including house wines, we chose a Gran Feudo Reserva, a full bodied Navarre wine which complemented the varied flavours of our selection perfectly.

We chose a couple of standards as starters, French onion soup and prawn cocktail. The prawns were tender and juicy, the mango, pineapple and lettuce fresh as could be and the sauce, ver y obviously home made with fresh tomato, had just the gentlest of kicks to it!

The soup was a gentle reminder of balmy Parisian nights, the fried bread floater still crisp, the melted cheese hot and a wonderful light and savoury starter.

We chose crostini Napoli and a Caprese salad to continue.

Crostini are small split, toasted rolls. Ours was drizzled with the finest olive oil, had a hint of garlic, juicy chopped tomato and was topped with melted Mozzarella. The salad was freshly sliced tomato, interspersed with slices of Mozzarella and dressed with the best virgin olive oil flavoured with very finely chopped fresh basil.

Spaghetti Bolognese is made all over the world, but very few versions of this recipe would be recognised by any self-respecting Italian Momma – the dish served at Great Little Italy would. The pasta was perfectly cooked, rolled nicely onto the fork without sticking and was exquisitely topped with a fresh ground beef sauce that included oregano, thyme, garlic and fresh tomatoes. A pot of finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese is offered on the side for you to add as much as you like and the helping is enormous, so go with an appetite!

The Padellata Tutto Mare was the other dish we chose - highly recommended to all those who enjoy shellfish. Containing scallops, king prawns, clams, mussels, and squid, the sauce has a gentle hint of garlic, with fresh tomato, parsley, white wine and we thought a touch of saffron. The shellfish were quite literally melt in your mouth tender and the sauce accompanied the selection beautifully without masking any of the individual flavours.

It was at this stage in the

meal that Kath Mosley’s curiosity about the camera got the better of her and she came over to talk to us and politely ask what we wer e doing, “if you’re doing a review or something?” She and her husband John were over from Derbyshire for seven weeks and this was their last night. On various occasions during that time they’d had friends join them in Tenerife and they’d brought them all to the Great Little Italy. On that night there was a table of 11 enjoying their meal including their children. They’d deliberately chosen this restaurant to spend their last night, as they had eaten there five or six times during their stay. “Everything’s been perfect every time we’ve been here,” Kath told us, “the food is really excellent and the lads are great”.

It’s always good to get a second opinion when you’re really enjoying a meal, occasionally we ask, but spontaneous offers

of information are the best, so thank you Kath and John.

We finished our meal with tiramisu, crêpes suzettes, Jamaican rum liqueur coffee and a good cognac from a long list.

The tiramisu was the lightest of sponges with just the right amount of Tia Maria, fresh cream, caramel sauce and garnished with a fresh strawberr y with chocolate sauce and the fresh pancakes were bathed with caramel sauce and Cointreau and served with ice cream.

What can we say? The freshest of ingredients, beautifully prepared and ser ved – cannot be faulted in any area. Molto, molto bene – book your table today.

Guinness Recipes Rack of lamb with Guinness and mustard

Nesting pans

Cook, bake, fridge, freeze.

This is something special. It looks stunning when finished and it’s really easy to make.

Perfect for a special St Patrick’s Day dinner for two.

Ingredients

1 French trimmed rack of lamb Herb breadcrumbs ½ can of Guinness draught Dijon mustard Serves 2

Piping set

Easy clean decoration.

Perfect thickness

bowl, cover and allow to marinate in the fridge for six to eight hours. 2. Take the lamb out and coat it with the mustard. 3. Then press the lamb into the herb breadcrumbs. 4. The crumbs will stick to the mustard and make a nice crust. 5. Then simply roast in the oven at 200ºC for 20/25 minutes. 6. Serve with roast vegetables and colcannon potato. Guinness is the only beer that really makes this work. The glaze on the lamb is as rich as you’d expect from any wine.

Colcannon Potatoes Did you ever eat Colcannon, made from lovely pickled cream? With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture in a dream.

Did you ever make a hole on top to hold the melting flake of the creamy, flavoured butter that your mother used to make?

A more traditional Irish dish you’d be hard pushed to find.

Great with the lamb recipe above or with bacon, or beef.

Ingredients (*Serves 4 )

Hello everyone,

It’s almost time for the Swallows to return home, and I’d like to thank so many of them

f

or their company and their generosity in giving me various items for the many charities we have here on the island, especially the cancer stalls.

The work goes on all year long and we appreciate your gifts.

Carole Hart, who works tirelessly all year round for the Swallows, raised €82 for cancer research, and the callanetics class €100. And she’d like to remind you that Katrina is still saving stamps and old Christmas and birthday cards which help provide guide dogs for the blind. Carole’s number is 922 736967 if you have any for them.

I’d also like to thank those of you who took the trouble to write or ring me over my tribute to Nicki MacDonnell. I was very touched.

I received a funny email from a friend in America. She lives in a rural area, but the school is on a main road.

To get to the school, they had to pass Annette’s farm which had free range chickens, and quite a few were killed by motorists every week.

She made the point that it might only be a matter of time before a child was killed, and campaigned for a sign to be erected, and one was duly placed. Annette says it hardly made any difference to the speed of motorists trying to get to the main highway for work in the nearby city.

The residents again complained, but the local authority said nothing else could be done, as there was already a speed limit in existence. She asked if the residents could put up their own sign and permission was granted. They

held a meeting and lots of ideas were tossed about but they couldn’t agree on the slogan.

Annette’s husband was extremely handy, so he made a huge sign which he took along to the next meeting. It was passed immediately, and they all waited to see what the result would be.

It was astonishing. Almost every car slowed down, and even the chief of police agreed it was fabulous and did the job extremely well. The sign read ‘Nudist Colony, slow down and watch out for chicks’.

Last week I was feeling a bit low as Easter seems so far away until the family arrives for their holidays, and my friend Tony suggested that I visit the corporation gym near where I live. It has weight training machines, a huge swimming pool, cycles, rowing machines, everything to

keep you fit in fact. I decided to take his advice and I can’t tell you what a difference it made. I came out in a cloud of happiness and vowed to go at least three times every week.

They’ve just installed a new machine and it’s fabulous.

But I found I could only spend an hour on it as I must have over exerted myself and felt a bit sick. It’s a miracle in engineering, doesn’t take up too much room, and every home should have a machine like this one. It was amazing and has everything; Kit Kats, Mars bars, crisps, pop, Snickers and Maltesers.

So if you ring me and I’m out, you know where I am. *katykennedy@telefonica.net 616110930

Barranco del Infierno – Closed for over a year Dear Editor

T

enerife has long been famous for its warm climates and good wind surfing conditions and recently Tenerife’s numerous splendid walks (of very varied standards of difficulty) have become increasingly popular.

Inevitably a walk that is only a few kilometers from the crowded southern coastline and is without any steep ascent or route finding difficulties will attract walkers of all shapes, sizes and not least experience. (Are ‘experienced’ walkers those who prefer knife edge ridges like the Snowdon Horseshoe or those who complete long distance footpaths or someone who only rambles through the countryside?)

In the early 1990s I met nobody when I did the B del I walk. Since then the numbers of walkers coming to Tenerife have increased and damage to the footpaths, the flora and fauna is noticeable – as is the increase in litter. The Barranco path was closed, repaired, entry numbers were controlled by guides and a small charge made. The path was always closed for a while, after heavy rainfall due to the risk of falling rocks but of course rocks can and do fall at any time. Over a year ago a person was critically injured and since then clear signs at the entrance to the walk explain why the path is closed. Some people ignore the sign and do the walk. (Would their insurance company accept rescue costs I wonder?).

I would like this splendid easily accessible footpath to be opened again. It would be good for visitors, the local shops and restaurants if it could be repaired and guides reinstalled to preserve flora, fauna and cleanliness. All entering could sign a disclaimer saying that the walker accepts the risk that stones can fall and that neither the Canarian government nor Adeje town hall can be held responsible for any injury that might occur from falling stones.

Discussion about the footpath’s future is ongoing.

Remembering Nicki Dear Katy

I

t was with great sadness that I read your article about the death of Nicki.

She had taught me to play golf and being a non-believer this was a miracle that I could even hit the ball. Her cheerful manner and confidence boosting attitude was nothing short of brilliance.

We were talking to her at the airport when she was going back to England for her first holiday back and we were planning future lessons when we returned in February, so you can imagine our shock to read the article. Please pass on our condolences to Nicki’s family.

 Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010)

Play it cool and things will turn out better than if you get angry, intense or worried. Also, don’t jump to conclusions or make spur of the moment decisions, especially if they involve love matters.

 Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011)

Roosters are hard on themselves. They expect to do well at everything and for life to go their way. Enjoy what you have. Hang out with the people you love. Get involved in activities that you enjoy.

 Dog (1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006)

Family members, friends or colleagues will make demands on your time. Your instinct might be to help out, but learn to say no if you want to preserve the time to get on with your own projects.

 Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007)

Don’t rely on other people to get anything done for you.

Also, it would be unwise to confide in anyone, especially when it comes to work matters or your personal plans.

The International Geneva Motor Show 2011

Mercedes-Benz Class B 160 BlueEFFICIENCY www.rahn.es

B

lueEFFICIENCY is the pioneering approach by MercedesBenz to optimising their vehicles for lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, giving cleaner motoring and reduced running costs.

Using a revolutionary combination of advanced engine technology, improved aerodynamics, reduced rolling system and weight saving measures, BlueEFFICIENCY saves energy and costs without compromising on performance.

The B 160 petrol engine delivers enhanced power, torque and fuel economy and includes an ECO start/stop function to save fuel in heavy traffic, stopping the engine when it is not in use. When the vehicle’s speed drops below 5mph and the transmission is in neu-

tral, the engine is stopped. As soon as the clutch is operated, the engine restarts. ECO start/ stop is linked to the climate control system, so the engine is prevented from stopping when the cabin temperature falls below a comfortable level. The system also recognises low-speed manoeuvres such as parking, when it will not operate. As a result, the BlueEFFICIENCY version offers up to an 11 per cent cut in fuel consumption and a CO2 reduction of up to 11g/km. The 5-speed manual transmission is standard, and this, together with advanced chassis and suspension design, offers both flawless ride comfort and dynamic driving characteristics.

The car’s selective damping system adapts the suspension to suit the road surface. On smoother surfaces damping is reduced, minimising vibrations

and tyre wear, and enhancing cornering stability. On rougher roads, full damping is restored to improve comfort, safety and control. Other innovative features include the parabolic rear axle system. This patented Mercedes-Benz technology enables supremely balanced, sporty handling.

In addition to impressive versatility, great dynamism and style, the latest generation B-Class has some striking new design touches including the larger, chunky, sculpted bonnet with a pronounced arrow shape and a redesigned bumper with a large lower air intake. A new-look radiator grille featuring three matt silver louvres with chrome trim creates a bold impression. As ever, the B-Class boasts topquality projection-beam headlamps with clear-glass lenses.

Generous space, flexibil-

ity and impeccable quality are hallmarks of the B-Class. The cabin is impressively spacious with an intelligent, ergonomic layout, sumptuous materials and exquisite finishes throughout. Even with all the seats in place, there’s ample room for luggage. If more space is required, the folding rear seat offers a versatile 1/3:2/3 split, and the load compartment has a completely flat floor when all three seats are folded down.

The optional Easy-Vario system enables even greater flexibility.

The car’s raised seating position – shared by driver and passengers alike – provides superb visibility and excellent legroom, even in the rear seats. The Class B 160 BlueEFFICIENCY is available from ₏22,500. For more information, contact your nearest branch of Rahn at Las Chafiras, La Orotava, Santa Cruz or La Laguna, or visit www.rahn.es.

The Salon International de l’Auto took place from March 3rd to 13th. Manufacturers of vehicles to suit all pockets were there in force, displaying their latest concepts and technologies, with the emphasis on electric cars.

Some of the main names exhibiting were MercedesBenz, BMW, Jaguar, Audi, Alfa Romeo, Mazda, Ford, CitroĂŤn, Peugeot, Seat, as well as Saab, Lamborghini, Porsche, Infiniti, the list is unending.

Renault presented several vehicles including the innovative new Twizy. 100 per cent electric, high on style and easy to park, the Twizy range will begin at around â‚Ź6,900, and customers will lease the battery.

Hertz and Renault signed an agreement during the show to partner up in bringing electric vehicles to European rental markets, making Hertz one of the first car hire companies to offer the Renault Twizy across Europe, in addition to the ZOE, Fluence Z.E. and Kangoo Z.E. They plan to add 500 of these Renault vehicles to their European fleet over the next two years.

Hertz customers and Connect by Hertz members should have the opportunity to drive these vehicles from the beginning of 2012. We will be publishing a more in depth report of the Geneva Motor Show in the April edition of The Magazine.

Masters title will be a photo finish

Soccer Experience Sponsored by : Island Connections Media Group & www.windowsplus.co.uk

T

he Soccer Experience Masters League thus far this season has been the most closely fought season of all with many a team more than capable of taking points from one another.

Through all of the excitement and dramas it seems now that two teams will be going head to head for the title. Both Taylors Lounge and the Spartans have weathered the storm this season and are now clear at the top with just a point separating them and only each other to play. This could be a winner takes all match!

Masters league summary

John Parkes and his Taylors Lounge boys once again had to battle for their three points as LA Masters gave them a real game this week. In typical fashion Taylors dominated the game but just could not close it down, and it was 2:2 at the break. The Taylors lads were

beginning to feel the pressure, yet a masterful substitution swung the game in their favour and gave Taylors a 4:2 win and a very valuable three points. The Spartans stayed hot on Taylors’ heels with a crushing defeat of Exiles Masters 12: 3 lifting them to within a point of the top of the table. Spanish Style once again proved what a good side they can be with a full squad, as they took apart a strongly improving Dreamers side that now have a very Italian feel but were not so ‘bellissimo’ this week. Olivers are beginning to pick up points and with the addition of Courtney Butler to the side, are looking to push up the table.

Championship summary

Gavin’s Linekers side seem to go from strength to strength so far this season and are strongly tipped for their first title. The side seems to have goals running throughout the team and with a

de cotta mckenna & santafé English Lawyers and Spanish Abogados

Spanish Style are proving what a good side they are

somewhat large defence, who could doubt they must be up there. Pueblo Torviscas, last year’s champions, are still hot on their heels and looking to be back in great form, along with Tenerife Solicitors who haven’t really got going yet this season but will surely be up there towards the end, and with IC Media now improving greatly and Olivers and Direct Telecom, both capable of taking points from anyone, this season has yet to really pick up momentum so watch this space.

Over 35s summary

With the top two sides both resting, Daz and Dave’s Ironcraft side looked to close the gap against a very strong

Paddy O’Taffy’s side. That they did with a terrific team performance, showing real commitment and desire from the start with some wonderful finishing and a man of the match performance from one of the league’s veterans Tony. Lee’s Morfitt veterans moved back up the table bouncing back from defeat but were made to work for it as the Pub are no easy match these days and are sure to get lady luck back on their side soon, also the derby was on once again as Connection 6 took on local rivals Cana Bar in our very own timeshare derby with both sides looking for one up and bragging rights for weeks to come, but it was Connection 6 who took the spoils this time

around as they just seemed to have that bit more fire power.

New kids on the block

The Saturday kid’s league for young players, seven years old and above, has a few teams already and they need only one more to ensure lots of good fun and a wee bit of a weekly competitive spirit for the young players. If you have a group of young players or if your son or daughter is looking to play, they can be placed on an existing team or be part of a new one. These league games will be played every Saturday either a 12.30pm or a 1.30pm kick off. Please get in touch ASAP so your kids can join the football fun! There is a one hour slot for a team of adults looking to play on Saturdays, so if you cannot play during the week then this is for you and your friends.

Contact Soccer Experience if you have any interest in the adult or kids weekly soccer. +34654200470/email soccer@soccerexperience.com.

Cleverly the next Calzaghe?

I

EDITION 638 :: 11/03/2011 - 24/03/2011 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

The house that Jack’s building Injured Jockey Fund

n my last article I wrote about some young and talented British boxers on the verge of world title fights. Due to shortage of space I missed out one of my favourites, the Welsh world title contender for the WBO light heavyweight belt, Nathan Cleverly, who is scheduled to fight German Jurgen Brähmer for his world title at Wembley Arena on April 2nd.

Professional boxers aren’t usually noted for their educated brain and articulate use of language. An exception, however, is Nathan Cleverly who graduated last year with a mathematics degree from Cardiff University.

The Caerphilly-born brainbox wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth, for the area he was brought up in, Philipstown, New Tredegar, was so rough they called it Monkey’s Island. At 15, Cleverly was British schoolboys welterweight champion and in the same year won the Welsh cross-country running title, and as a 16 year-old, was the best long distance runner in Wales. While still at university and mixing his studies with professional boxing he won the European and the British light heavyweight title belts, and is still unbeaten in 21 contests.

Still only 23, Cleverly could be in for some big pay days if he could take the title from Brähmer, for he’s in a weight division which includes the great Bernard Hopkins who, at 46 years of age, recently gave a great performance when sharing the points with the number one rated light heavyweight on the planet, Jean Pascal. With Joe Calzaghe in retirement, Wales is crying out for a boxer to follow in his footsteps, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Cleverly, by the end of his career, will be talked about in the same bracket as Calzaghe.

But first he will have to overcome the new ‘bad boy’ in the boxing game, Jurgen Brähmer. For the boxing champion is no saint, having been in trouble with the law on a number of occasions. Eight years ago the German caused a road accident in Hamburg while driving without a licence. He also beat up the driver of the other vehicle involved.

For this offence he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, but not before he was first allowed out on remand to box for the WBC international title, which he won.

Last year Brähmer was convicted of hitting a woman and leaving her with injuries to her face. He has been granted bail while he maintains his innocence, having appealed against a 16-month custodial sentence.

As an amateur, Brähmer beat the likes of the current WBA middleweight title holder Felix Sturm, the WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch, and the two-weight former world champion Ricky Hatton, twice.

But even in those days of his late teens, Brähmer had his social problems. In 1998 he was sentenced to 42 months in a juvenile detention centre, after being convicted of a charge of robbery and grievous bodily harm.

The one thing that Brähmer has in common with Nathan Cleverly is that, besides the connection in the professional boxing game, Brähmer was also a talented runner, but a sprinter! So if the clever Cleverly gets his calculations correct, I believe he’ll keep the champion at a distance in the early rounds, and come on strong in the second half of the fight to gain the decision on points.

Alonso slammed for

unhelpful comments

Fernando Alonso’s knack for saying the wrong thing has landed him in trouble again, this time over his criticism of the recent cut in the motorway and dual carriageway speed limit to 110 kmh.

John Trask, a disabled jockey, who has stayed here on a number of occasions

Jack Berry was in Tenerife recently with 71 close friends, friends for whom he has worked tirelessly for over 50 years as one of the founding members of what is now the Injured Jockeys Fund.

Island Connections met Jack at the Mar y Sol resort in Los Cristianos where he was staying for 12 days with 71 jockeys, who benefit from the IJF and the excellent facilities and weather they enjoy in Tenerife every year since Jack’s son, who was paralysed from the neck down in a race course fall at the age of 19, discovered the Mar y Sol, a resort designed with the disabled in mind. Jack, on holiday with Sam years ago, saw how he was able to have a full holiday here and how beneficial it was, and the idea for the annual holiday for injured jockeys was born (on the back of a napkin). 18 travelled out that year, and now the numbers are always much higher. “You’d have a hard job trying to find anywhere in the

Jack Berry with IJF almoner Helen during the IJF stay in Tenerife

world like this place”, Jack told us. Jack and his wife Jo worked to raise extra funds for the holiday, but a one million pound donation from Robert Hitchin means that the holidays are now funded in perpetuity.

The IJF was born when Jack decided to organise a whip-around in the weighing room when fellow jockey Paddy Farrell was injured in a fall in the Grand National in 1964. “He broke his back, he was married with four kids and had just bought a house…”. The response was so great, with national racing papers Sporting Life and Racing Chronicle coming on board, that more jockeys were helped, and soon Jack and those behind the fund raising realised that they needed to hire trustees. John Oaksey took up the position, and the fund continued to grow, soon helping all jockeys, flat and jumping. Today they have over “2,500 who have been on the books at some stage”, according to one of their almoners (IJF social workers/facilitators) Helen tells

Gran Canaria

Injury crisis mounts

Basketball side Gran Canaria’s hopes of ending the season in a play-off spot in the Spanish Premiership have been hit further by a second serious injury to a key player.

Centre Xavi Rey damaged a muscle in his right thigh in the league game against Cajasol and is out for several weeks. He did not travel to Serbia for the side’s last Euro Cup game against KK Hemofarm to allow doctors to examine the injury further and the club’s worst fears were confirmed with the news that he could miss up to a month.

The blow comes just weeks after stalwart Sitapha Savané’s season was ended by a torn Achilles tendon, his first injury of note in a long career.

us. She and three others have accompanied the holidaymakers this year.

Nowadays the fund helps injured jockeys in many different ways, whether their injuries are permanent or temporary, physical or psychological. Helen says many find that their injuries “come back to haunt them many years later”. The first Oaksey House was opened in Lambourn in 2009, and now Jack is working non-stop to raise funds for a second facility in Malton. Oaksey House provides respite care, rehabilitation facilities for injured jockeys to get back on their feet and into the saddle, as well as helping retired and disabled jockeys with specialist medical needs and counselling.

To help build the new house Jack is asking people to buy bricks, at £50 each. You can have your name on the brick (or any name) which will be included in the construction of the walls or pathway.

UD Las Palmas

Jémez ‘had to go’

The decision to sack manager Paco Jémez by crisishit Las Palmas should have been taken much earlier, club sources admit.

Jémez was eventually shown the door after another humiliating defeat, 5:2 by Granada, which meant that the Canarians had picked up just five points from 36 in their last 12 games.

Jémez was signed just over a year ago with 10 games left as a replacement for Sergio Kresic to save the side from relegation to second division B, which was avoided courtesy of a last-day win. The club was under mounting pressure since January from fans to act quickly as the team slid down from the top spots to the relegation zone. Jémez has been replaced by Juan Manuel Rodríguez, who has been used several times in the past as a late solution in times of trouble.

he two-time Formula 1 champion described the measure, which came into force on 7 March and is designed to save fuel as the energy crisis mounts due to political instability in North Africa and the Middle East, as unnecessary and a potential cause of more accidents. “You can easily drop off to sleep when driving so slowly.

There are more efficient ways to save energy” said the Ferrari No. 1, who was immediately taken to task for his “unhelpful” comments by Dept. of Transport sources. Lighting on state roads is also set to be reduced in an energy-saving initiative aimed at cutting the current costs by up to 50 per cent.

Fotios LampropoulOs

Greek boost for Socas Canarias Po w e r fo r wa rd Fo t i o s Lampropoulos has been brought in by LEB basketball side Isla de Tenerife Socas Canarias to bolster the team’s chances of a playoff place.

T

he Greek, who played for Tenerife a couple of seasons ago and also had a stint with ACB outfit Gran Canaria in 2005, was signed just before the closure of the transfer window and his arrival could spell problems for Mac Koshwal, the Sudan-born centre who has failed to live up to expectations since September.

Club sources say 27-year-old Lampropoulos will not suffer the adaptation difficulties encountered by Koswhal and will provide badly-needed experience to give stalwart forwards Richi Guillén and Jesús Chagoyen a breather during games.

W

ith guard Jaime Heras fully mended again after a long lay-off, coach Alejandro Martínez is confident that the side will finish the season strongly and bid for promotion.

CD Tenerife

Tenerife revival put on hold

Second Division 09/03/2011 CLUB

By Chris Todd

The blanquiazules knew that with a win they would escape the dreaded relegation area for the first time in 406 days.

Barcelona took to Tenerife’s game like (pink) ducks to water!

Cordero reduced the scoreline as he prodded home a sweet right wing cross.

The rest of the match was a tense affair with so much riding on it for both clubs.

Nino had a goal disallowed for offside (replays later showed the goal was good) but in the closing stages Tenerife rode their luck as Xerez pushed for the equaliser. They enjoyed three good chances in the last five minutes as fans held their breath in the stands. Finally, the referee blew the final whistle and the scoreboard flashed the fact that Tenerife were out of the relegation area, if only for a few days, but it felt fantastic!

1/03/2011 Cartagena 1:0 CD Tenerife It is no secret that Tenerife do not travel well but it is hoped that from now until the end of the season they can grab a few away points.

Their home form has improved but without the odd away victory or at least a few draws it is going to be a struggle to retain their second division status in June.

This certainly was a trip not to remember as when the players returned to their hotel after the game, several of their rooms had been broken into and valuables stolen.

A single goal by Cartagena front man Toché decided this game which kept Cartagena in the play-off positions and

returned Tenerife to the relegation area. The game was a typical scrappy affair with few chances and it was obvious that it would be settled by an only goal. The injury of midfield dynamo Dubarbier certainly did not help the cause. Cartagena improved in the second half with Toché and ex-blanquiazul Victor looking dangerous but Nino was still posing a threat on the break. The only goal came on 66 minutes as a superb defence splitting pass was played through to Toché who scored with composure.

The home side held on to take all three points with a win that they barely deserved on the balance of play.

It is a good job that teams like Albacete, Ponferradina and Las Palmas have hit a wretched run of form. The last game of the season on June 5th could be very interesting for the Canary Islands; a certain UD Las Palmas vs CD Tenerife!!

07/03/11 CD Tenerife 1:4 FC Barcelona B The blanquiazules were on the end of a royal thrashing by Luis Enrique’s FC Barcelona B youngsters in a rain soaked Heliodoro Stadium.

The Catalan giants certainly have some fresh young talent coming through and they play the same passing game as their older counterparts.

The Carnaval atmosphere

could not spur Tenerife on to a victory as huge cats, nurses and Guardia Civil lookalikes cheered from the stands.

A late injury to defender Marc Bertrán forced manager Tapia to play Juanlu out of his normal position at right back.

Barcelona took advantage of this and penetrated the defence down both flanks.

Having said that, Tenerife had a decent spell of pressure and Nino crashed the ball against the bar early on. Perhaps an early goal for the home team would have changed the whole outcome of the match, but it was Barça who were to break the deadlock after a neat passing move ended in Edu Oriol slotting the ball under Sergio Aragoneses.

Just before half time the game took a turn for the worse as Fontás brilliantly beat two players on the right before crossing the ball to Nolito who scored with ease.

It was a decisive moment in the game and you could not really see where a Tenerife fightback would come from.

Julio Alvarez tried in vain to stamp his authority on the game and Hidalgo in midfield was as industrious, but few chances were created. With twenty minutes remaining, Tenerife were reduced to ten men as Dubarbier received his marching orders and Barça wrapped up the contest soon after with two goals in as many minutes.

Nolito’s shot rebounded off the post and struck the outstretched goalkeeper Sergio before rolling over the

26/02/2011 CD Tenerife 2:1 Xerez

The new found better form has seen CD Tenerife become one of the television companies’ favourite attractions. Instead of the usual Sunday afternoon kick offs, recently the blanquiazules have played on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning and even Mondays.

Despite the abnormal match day and times 16,545 supporters cheered on the blanquiazules against Xerez in this Friday night match. The game started at a hectic pace without a clear dominating team. Tenerife started to take control with the two new signings Dubarbier and Kitoko creating problems for the Xerez defence. The first decent chance fell on 25 minutes as Nino chested the ball to Julio Alvarez and his shot smacked off the post.

One of the main reasons behind Tenerife´s mini-revival has been the form of Julio Alvarez and defender Pablo Sicilia. An inswinging corner on 39 minutes fell directly into the path of Sicilia and he showed all the composure of a top striker as he volleyed the ball into the net. Chema in the Xerez goal was helpless. It was a great goal and an important one at that. Xerez trugged off the pitch without creating a single serious effort on goal, they were missing their leading scorer José Mari.

In the second half Xerez upped the ante as they fought to remain on course for a playoff promotion position. The away side began to take control and played some neat one touch football but they rarely troubled Sergio Aragoneses in goal. But the game was thrown the blanquiazules’ way when they were awarded a penalty after a push and grapple on Luna from a corner kick. Antonio Hidalgo duly obliged to score the spot kick and Tenerife were cruising at 2-0. The celebrations were short lived though as Xerez struck back straight away.

line. Then Nolito added the fourth goal with a cheeky 50 yard chip after a poor clearance from goalkeeper Sergio. At this time the pouring rain reached biblical proportions sending most fans running for cover, you could hardly blame them. Rain poured from the stands creating waterfalls as the aisles filled with water.

Nino did pull a goal back

for Tenerife but it was just a consolation on a night when you have to hold your hands up and admit that the better side won. The gap between the blanquiazules and safety stands at four points with 42 still to play for. There is an awful lot of shouting to do and despite the recent setbacks the supporters are right behind the team.
