PUBLISHER’S LETTER

Ho! Ho! Ho! It seems that that time of year is upon us once again and it’s no secret that I’m not Christmas’ biggest fan. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not The Grinch who stole Christmas nor Scrooge but I simply can’t justify the time off work, the gluttony, the systematic consumption of mince pies and most importantly… the lack of productivity! Yes, as you may have gathered by now, SOCIETY is the office that never sleeps and we live, eat and breathe this magazine. It’s our life and our passion!

The good news is that, despite Christmas’ unnecessary holiday period, it does bring with it a great deal of festive cheer, parties and events – and you all know that team SOCIETY doesn’t need an excuse to party! We party hard but we work even harder – and this month has been no exception - with new clients on board and an exclusive interview with Father Christmas himself, we’ve had our work cut out for us and have been grafting to bring you a bumper Christmas issue that is brimming with glitz, glamour and festive fun.

Style gurus, Sisko Akt have FESTIVE FEVER as they sparkle in the most stylish party dresses about and Elle Morgan brings us some luscious layers to wrap up warm this winter.

Ian Kuah takes the sleek and speedy Mclaren 570S for a spin and we hit Freudenhouse for cocktails and lingerie for our stunning Christmas Stocking Fillers fashion shoot. Of course, we attended the chic-est and most lavish parties in town in our Who’s in and Who’s Out event section and Natalie Rose Kern finally makes her way up La Concha for Positively Pink Breast Cancer charity.

Of course it’s not all partying, fun and frolics. Our resident foodie, Bettina Campolucci Bordi gives us some simple life hacks to turn

our bad habits into good ones, and fitness fanatic Luke Christopher Hill offers us some top tips on beating the bulge over Christmas and surviving the fat-filled festive season without ending up with stomachs to rival Father Christmas himself!

Society Marbella published and produced by: PUBLISHER Andy Clark CREATIVE DIRECTOR Constanza Mtz.

Talking of food, we took a trip to La Cala for a stunning meal at Elliot Wright’s new beachside restaurant, Olivia’s and we wandered down to San Pedro’s new gastronomic strip to sample the exquisite organic, locally sourced fayre at km0.

SENIOR DESIGNER Alma Roda Ros

From feasts to fasts we’ve covered all aspects of Christmas on the coast and we’ve rounded it off with a Marbella Christmas Special so that you’re not short of options to keep the family amused and entertained over this holiday period.

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT Eleanor McKenzie

From Costa Jump to country walks there’s something for everyone and, whilst the thought of a room full of screaming children bouncing on giant trampolines sounds like my idea of hell, this new paradise for ankle-biters may just keep you sane on rainy days over the school holidays.

SALES SUPPORT Patricia Lopez

I’ll leave you to enjoy this fabulously festive issue of SOCIETY magazine and am off to sip brandy and munch on mince pies until the New Year – when we’ll be bouncing back with a bonanza New Year – New You brand spanking new issue!

Andrea and Dominique Forsstrom,

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year to all of our readers and loyal clients! It’s been a brilliant 2015 – and 2016 is set to be bigger, better and even more beautiful!

Until next time…

Andy Clark

Santa Claus is coming to Town AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SANTA CLAUS

By Eleanor McKenzie

18

Celebrity Spotlight

T

he SOCIETY team has partied all year, wined and dined at every fabulous new Marbella restaurant and bar, attended an amazing music festival in Gibraltar, swanned around art gallery openings, and brought you celebrity features with Paloma Faith, Daniel Craig and Jessie J. This month even our Features Editor, Natalie Rose Kern ---yes, the one who’s always ‘Nattering’-- had a speechless moment, because we landed the biggest celebrity interview of the year.

You could have heard a pin drop in the office when it was announced that none other person than Santa Claus wanted to give us an exclusive interview – and in Marbella!

We were told that his people would contact our people with details of the date and time for the interview, although the location would be something of a ‘Secret Santa Place’, and he’d send transport to collect us. Photography was not allowed and smart phones would be removed to prevent use of Facebook or Instagram.

We knew then it would be up to the highly skilled graphic talents of Constanza Martinez and her assistant Alma Roda Ros to convey a likeness of the real Santa Claus to SOCIETY’s faithful readers. It was a task they felt ready to take on and they gave the editorial team instructions about the details we needed to make a special note of, such as eye colour, hair and dress style.

Meanwhile, SOCIETY’s writers huddled together and mulled over what searching questions we could possibly ask Santa that would reveal the true nature of the man who has headed one of the greatest global corporate institutions for several hundred years.

Finally, the instructions arrived – the interview would be at midnight that night. We were to wait at SOCIETY’s office for Santa’s people to pick us up. At exactly midnight, there was a knock on the door. With excitement and trepidation we opened it to find two men—who can only be described as extremely short—dressed in dark suits and wearing dark glasses (Rayban Aviator we noted!). They politely asked us to put on blindfolds and once we’d done that, they told us to all hold hands, click our heels and with a whoosh we were flying through the air. Before we could say “Jumping Jehosaphat Batman!” our feet hit the ground and

our blindfolds were removed. And there was Santa! Sitting at a table in an empty Marbella beach club (we can’t say which one!). There was silence except for the sound of the sea lapping the shore, and darkness except for the luminous full Marbella moon flooding the space like a spotlight. Santa smiled, a big beaming, kindly smile and invited us to sit down and start our interview. So, here it is – the SOCIETY Interview with Santa!

Where does your Santa Claus concept originate?

Well, I’d come across some information about a guy called St. Nicholas who lived back in the 4th century and they used to have a party for him around the 6 December. Now, he was well known for giving generous gifts to poor people and then some people in the Middle Ages thought, why don’t we all give presents to our kids on that day? But then, this guy called Martin Luther didn’t like this custom and banned the St. Nicholas celebrations.

So, the kids were left without anyone to bring them presents in December.

There was a collective groan from the SOCIETY writers at this - the thought of no presents at Christmas time.

What happened next?

I had been talking to a Dutch man called Sinter Klaas, and he had a fledgling business concept based on an idea he’d discovered that was popular in England during the reign of Henry VIII – you remember, the man with all the wives! They had a man called Father Christmas, who dressed up in red, fur-lined robes and brought the spirit of ‘good cheer’ to the festive season.

The English had also decided that 25th December should be the main feast day, and that this would be a good time for Father Christmas to appear. Sinter Klaas was doing the same in Holland, and the idea was catching on around Europe.

He paused and motioned to his helpers to bring him a shot of whiskey, and then changed his mind and admitted that as he was in Spain he’d have a glass of manzanilla instead. He confessed that he’d been partial to a drop of sherry for the last 100 years or so and was quite happy to have a drop with a cupcake or piece of shortbread. He patted his generously sized middle as he told us this.

Celebrity Spotlight

Then what did you do? We all asked in unison.

I did what every smart businessman did at the start of the 20th century. I took a European idea and sold it to the Americans! I changed the name to Santa Claus and I hired that guy who wrote “The Wizard of Oz” –L. Frank Baum – to write a book called “The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus.” My mission statement from the start was “A Happy Childhood for Everyone” and that remains my organisation’s aim to this day.

What do you say to the people who claim you don’t exist?

It deeply saddens me that some people refuse to participate in the season of “goodwill to all men” and that they feel the need to destroy it for children and adults alike by pretending that people who want to make the world a better, cheerier and generally nicer place to live are somehow not living in the ‘real world.’

Saying I don’t exist and it’s all “Bah, humbug!” is a part of that negativity.

But let’s not dwell on them, he added, “I could always get my own back by not stopping at their house! But, I hasten to add, I never leave them out.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, and all that.”

What’s your favourite Santa song?

I do like to play Santa Claus is Coming to Town while I’m at work.

My favourite is The Crystals version, although I also like The Muppet’s one as well. Mrs Claus doesn’t much like that song “I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” though. (He sighs and shrugs his shoulders)

20

Are your headquarters really in Lapland?

I’m afraid I can’t answer that question, but I can tell you that we have facilities of 4,000,000 square feet, which I believe makes us even bigger than Amazon and our packaging and delivery system is one of the most accurate in the world.

Occasionally, a child gets the wrong gift, but overall our statistics are pretty much near the 100% benchmark.

Is it true you come down the chimney?

To be honest, that’s a bit of an urban myth.

For example, take a look around Marbella – there aren’t a lot of chimneys, yet you all get your gifts! I’ve developed numerous ways of entering homes discreetly and have consulted with a number of worldfamous architects about ways of making my entrance and exit even more efficient.

Santa paused and we took the opportunity to produce the all-important “SOCIETY Staff Questions for Santa” list. “Would you mind answering some personal questions from the team at SOCIETY,” we asked hesitantly. “No problem,” Santa beamed back.

India wants to know if you have any advice about buying a gift for the person who is notoriously difficult to buy for?

Hmm, well I always find that diamonds or a Porsche go down well with difficult people.

Erm, don’t be upset Santa, but Andy wasn’t very happy with his inflatable Jacuzzi last year! In fact, he often dislikes his presents! What can he do to be more appreciative?

Well, there’s an easy way to solve this problem – no more presents for Andy!

Then he won’t have anything to dislike.

I’m considering stopping them for everyone over 50 anyway!

Patricia Lopez would like to know if you think that eight days holiday over the festive period is sufficient?

No, eight days is definitely not sufficient! But some employers don’t even want to give seven! In the good old days it was 12!

Alma and Nattie would like to know if you could bring them a boyfriend this year because they’re very hard to find in Marbella. Can you do that?

I’ll see what I can do! Personally, I think they’re not looking in the right places – they need the contact details for Millionaire Matchmaker?

Could you arrange for Alma to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel – she’d be sure of a boyfriend then?

I’m in negotiations with Ford and Elite Modelling Agencies in NYC about adding this gift to my range. I’ll keep you posted!

Celebrity Spotlight

“I do like to play Santa Claus is Coming to Town while I’m at work. My favourite is The Crystals version, although I also like The Muppet’s one as well”

Who gives you Christmas presents Santa?

Well, Mrs Claus of course, and my assistants recently clubbed together to buy me a whole new transport system. The other one was no longer air-worthy! But, you know, you all give me a gift when you make an extra effort to spend time with your family and friends, and when you think about people all over the world who don’t have the comforts that you have and do something to help them.

What would be your best Christmas present ever?

I’m tempted to say a Flying Ferrari, but I know that my best present is your happiness, not just at Christmas, but everyday of the year!

We all nodded our heads in agreement – because that’s what we’d like to wish all our readers - a very happy every day of the year from all of us at Society Marbella!

CHRISTMAS In Andalucia

By Natalie Rose Kern

So, we might not get a classic ‘White Christmas’ here in Marbella but there is no shortage of festivities and seasonal cheer, as well as a plethora of fun and family-friendly activities to amuse the children over the school holidays.

Whether it’s the grottos of Papa Noel, Christmas shows and Nativities in and around Marbella City, or whether it’s

taking a daytrip inland for some fresh country air and warm hearty food, this beautiful part of the world offers so much diversity over the winter months that you won’t have to worry about the kids getting bored, or about sinking into a Christmas slump at home because there is so much beauty and excitement to discover – right here on our doorstep!

MARBELLA FESTIVITIES

W

hilst many think of Marbella as a summer holiday destination, the pretty Christmas lights that deck the cobbled streets over December transform the town into a magical fairyland and the Old Town at night is a picture perfect scene from a Christmas card. The Palacio de Congresos holds its annual Solidarity Christmas Bazaar, boasting an ice rink, many children’s attractions, rides, shows, stalls selling hot food and drinks, and much more. This is a great spot to take the children for a day of festive fun all under one roof.

Then there are the Christmas concerts, Santa Claus’ house, puppet shows and children’s parties at the Plaza de la Iglesia over the whole month of December (times and dates have not all been confirmed at the time of SOCIETY going to press – so please check with the town hall or on the Net to avoid disappointment!)

Of course it would not be Marbella without scintillating parties and boy, there are some sumptuous events in town, which will have you digging out your diamonds and fur - from the Lion’s Club and La Concordia dinners to the wide variety of stunning Christmas parties at La Sala – expect glitz and glamour all December long.

22

For the kids, the newly opened Costa Jump is already proving to be a smash hit (with little kids and big kids alike!) and then there’s the San Pedro Boulevard, which provides no end of fun with climbing frames, swings, slides, skate park, and the newest addition-Happy Days--that boasts a large children’s ice rink for the kids to enjoy their own winter wonderland, plus there’s even a crazy mini-golf course!

Of course, the Puerto Banús ice rink is as popular with kids as it is with couples on a romantic first date, and at night the Plaza Antonio Banderas is a festive delight as the Christmas night market sprawls over the entire square, selling everything from jewellery and decorations to fashion and homewear. From night markets to an artisan markets – the beautiful Christmas market at La Virginia is always my favourite festive market of the year. Located along the pretty cobbled streets of La Virginia, you’ll find homemade cakes, mulled wine, unique works of art, handmade jewellery, soaps and scented candles alongside bespoke clothing, vintage finds and all sorts of oddities and treasures.

MÁLAGA CHRISTMAS LIGHTS The beautiful city of Málaga, which has long been overlooked by tourists and expats alike, has been growing in popularity over the past few years and is fast becoming a tourist destination in its own right rather than simply the airport city where most arrive before heading to locations further west along the Costa del Sol. The opening of the Picasso Museum in 2003 triggered the city’s cultural rebirth, Málaga now has more museums than any other city in Andalucía; over 30 at last count - and new ones are opening all the time.

Visitors are now flocking to this port city, which boasts excellent transport, superb restaurants serving varied cuisine from around the globe and fascinating monuments, from Moorish and Roman times as well as contemporary works of art. - While retaining its authentic Andalucian feel. The city’s profusion of quirky museums, delightful pedestrianised

SNIERRA EVADA

It’s Europe’s southernmost skiing resort and might not have all the glitz and glamour of Val s’Isere but Sierra Nevada offers a welcome winter break from the coast and best of all – it’s barely two hours away!

Unlike the many sprawling ski resorts of the Alps, Sierra Nevada is compact and efficient in its size and design. There are slopes for all abilities, great amenities from large cafeterias to boutique champagne bars, a reliable ski school with fun and friendly classes and instructors, hotels dotted about the centre of the town and chalets, bungalows and apartments scattered about the perimeter.

centre, innovative restaurants and stylish hotels, as well as its new arty district, SOHO are bringing a bohemian edge to this magnificent cultural city. In summer it’s too hot to explore properly so if you’ve not yet discovered the magic and marvel of Málaga then this winter is the time to do it – and what better time than Christmas! The Málaga Christmas lights are famous around the world for their splendor and each year is more breathtaking than the last.

The city’s main street, Calle Larios, is decked with approximately 4 million LED lights and Málaga’s gorgeous pedestrian centre becomes a stunning winter wonderland, alive with people, festive music, cheer and activities and it’s a great place to visit during the day or at night. A giant Christmas tree is ablaze with colour and illumination in the plaza and children gaze in awe at the enchanted city at night.

If you’re spending the festive period in Marbella but fancy a few days away or an afternoon out with friends and family, why not break away from the coast and sample some fresh air, exercise and a little adventure!

P UEBLOS BLANCOS What better way to escape from the hustle bustle of the coast than to venture up to one of the pretty little Andalucian whitewashed villages for the day. The gorgeous Pueblos Blancos (white villages) of Mijas, Casares, Istan, Monda, Jimena and Guaro are built into the hills and the quaint white houses sit higgledy piggledy upon each other, like cubes of sugar sparkling in the sunshine. Enjoy the scenic winding roads to arrive at any of the hillside villages and amble about the cobbled streets where you’ll stumble upon Roman and Moorish architecture, handsome chapels and churches, quaint tapas bars and superb restaurants. In Mijas, why not visit the Mayan Monkey Chocolate factory – a great day out for the children, who can enjoy making their very own chocolate for gifts – or to eat themselves, of course! Or why not go on a tapas crawl and sample some of the gastronomic traditional Andalucian fare that these villages do so well.

Everything is within walking distance and there’s a lovely welcoming feeling of community. Granted, it hasn’t got the aprèsski nightlife of St Anton or Courchevelle, but it’s a great spot to enjoy a weekend with family or friends and to enjoy a real ‘White Christmas’ without even having to board a plane.

Books always make a great Christmas gift. Whether it’s a little something for someone who’s notoriously difficult to buy for or an extra stocking filler to bulk up your sackful of suprizes from Santa, a book will always be well-received and appreciated.

Here are a trio of current bestsellers available at Bookworld, Puerto Banús.

The Road to Little Dribbling More Notes From a Small Island, Bill Bryson Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to celebrate the green and kindly island that had become his adopted country. The hilarious book that resulted, Notes from a Small Island, was taken to the nation’s heart and became the bestselling travel book ever, and was also voted in a BBC poll the book that best represents Britain. Now, to mark the twentieth anniversary of that modern classic, Bryson makes a brand-new journey round Britain to see what has changed.

Following (but not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by way of places that many people never get to at all, Bryson sets out to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly unique country that he thought he knew but doesn’t altogether recognize any more.

Yet, despite Britain’s occasional failings and more or less eternal bewilderments, Bill Bryson is still pleased to call our rainy island home. And not just because of the cream teas, a noble history, and an extra day off at Christmas.

Once again, with his matchless homing instinct for the funniest and quirkiest, his unerring eye for the idiotic, the endearing, the ridiculous and the scandalous, Bryson gives us an acute and perceptive insight into all that is best and worst about Britain today.

A barrel

of laughs for everyone

The Guilty David Baldacci When Special Agent Will Robie gets the call to make his first visit home since he was a teenager, it’s because his father, the local judge, has been arrested for murdering a man who came before him in court.

The small, remote Mississippi town hasn’t changed and its residents remember Robie as a wild sports star and girl magnet. He left a lot of hearts broken, and a lot of people angry.

Will and his father, Dan, are estranged, and his mother left years ago.

When he visits Dan in jail, he finds that time hasn’t healed old wounds.

There’s too much bad blood between the men, and although Will feels no good will come of staying around, he is persuaded to confront his demons by fellow agent Jessica Reel.

But then another murder changes everything, and stone-cold killer Robie will finally have to come to grips with his toughest assignment of all. His family.

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE

...with the Sound of Us Climbing La Concha!

Weeks of planning, ten thousand messages, daily weather monitoring, sponsorship gathering, hiking kit purchasing, fitness training (OK, maybe not that last one!) and we were all set for our mammoth expedition to climb the majestic La Concha Mountain for Positively Pink Breast Cancer Screening Charity.

But then came the torrential rain, thunder, lightening and ferocious storms on both of our planned Sundays - and it seemed that our charity climb was turning into an antiCLIMB-ax! We postponed, we rescheduled, we postponed, we scheduled AGAIN - but finally the sun showed her face for the first Sunday in weeks and we were off!

I say, “We were off!” but it didn’t quite get off to the start I’d planned. You see I’d meticulously organised my events, movements, provisions and babysitting around the climb each week but, fearing it would be rained off again, I held back on any organisation this time and headed out to cover a SOCIETY event on the Saturday night. Schoolgirl error!

I awoke on Sunday at 9.30am. The sun was out - which could only mean one thing the climb would be commencing from El Refugio de Juanar in half an hour. There was no way I’d be there in time to join the others. I dressed myself and The Monkey, made a colossal picnic, packed rucksacks and we set off. By the time we reached the forest of Juanar the rest of the group had been climbing for an hour, but that did not deter us and we figured we would just set off at our own pace, dawdle, adventure and truly enjoy the afternoon.

It was busy. I mean, really busy. Rush hour M25 kinda busy. But it was brilliant! There were families with small children rambling about, young couples walking their dogs, groups of friends sprinting up in activewear and older parties sauntering along on

28

a Sunday stroll. “Buenas dias!” Monkey called out to every passerby, “Buenas dias!” they all called back.

Of course everyone knows La Concha, the statuesque backdrop of Marbella and the town’s most famous landmark - but to really KNOW La Concha you simply HAVE TO climb her. There’s hub of activity and life at the Refugio de Juanar and a formidable energy that carries you up. There’s stunning wildlife, amazing drops, ragged edges, a beautiful, diverse and varied landscape that is forever changing - pass through a picturesque flat and dry terrain of pretty olive groves, before entering a dark and dense pine forest with tall, emerald trees.

As you ascend further, the paths become rockier and you venture over uneven ground, cliff edges and some challenging precipices. You don’t have a chance to get bored as the landscape is so varied and at every turn there’s a new view that will take your breath away - and the higher you climb, the more spectacular and impressive the view.

Well hello there and welcome to my little world! Expect a little silliness, a touch of controversy, a dash of humour, a splash of fun and a sprinkling of magic!

Clouds loomed about the summit and we prayed that the sun would burn them off before we reached the top. The mood was jovial and cheery and every man and his dog was smiling and exchanging pleasantries along the journey. We stumbled upon a couple foraging under a tree, collecting chestnuts. There were others picking mushrooms and more scouring for truffles, families picnicking on grassy mounds and dogs wagging frantically with delight. The conversation flowed throughout the hike, for by now we had also found some of the Positively Pink stragglers and we all chatted enthusiastically about everything from our home countries to life in Marbella.

The monkey kept us entertained with mischief and anecdotes and bounced off, sprinting on ahead of us, before peering down upon us from cliffs and calling enthusiastically for us to catch up with him.

From a super fit ex-SAS soldier and a seven-year-old boy, to a lovely Norwegian mother and daughter and an elderly couple, we had all ages, shapes and sizes heading up with us on our mission. As with long car journeys, there is only so long until children pipe up with those fateful words, “Are we there yet?” followed by the tedious repetition of “how much longer?” Luckily we were all avid gameplayers and from ‘I Spy with my little Eye’ to ‘The first person to see a ....’ games, everyone joined in and voices could be heard calling out “Concha?”, “cliff?”, “clouds”, and “climbers” up and down the track. Then came the singing. Instigated, of course, by my curly-haired little jungle child, who by now had found a stick that he used as his sceptre and was leading the way with rousing tunes.

Within no time we were all singing along to songs from Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and, as our sounds echoed off the rocks, I conceded that we must be happiest climbing party ever to brave a mountain (although perhaps not the most tuneful!) We rounded a corner

and were met with a sea of brightly coloured climbers scattered about a giant overhanging precipice. I noted a great deal of pink - it was them! Our group! We’d actually caught up with them! We shouted across the valley and were greeted by thirty pairs of hands in the air, waving at us, “Where the hell have you been?” called out the organiser, personal trainer and owner of Things To Do Marbella, Glenn Ward. We traversed the rocky crag to meet them and hugged and kissed as we greeted our old friends and were introduced to new ones. Everyone was exhausted, mopping brows, sweating, sipping water and gazing down on the stunning Istan Lake, which was laid out before us, sparkling in the sunshine.

It was magnificent.

The sun seemed to be forcing her way through the clouds and we could now make out the peak and the path to reach it. There was no going back.

At this point though, a few members of the party almost did turn back, as we each had to climb, in single file, across a daring precipice. Of course my little boy was up, over and down in a flash but it wasn’t so easy for some and a great deal of encouragement, cheering and support was required to get everyone over the trickier, steeper parts - but surmountable they were and soon we were all on the final stretch and we could already observe small black silhouettes on the peak, arms raised with phones and cameras as they snapped away, photographing the view. We clambered a little longer, songs, games, excitable chatter, for by now we were quite delirious with exhaustion and finally we were there.

Backpacks hit the dust, jackets, hoodies and jumpers were peeled off, picnics were unpacked and we just stood. In awe. Taking in the magnificence and splendour of the view. Grins spread wide across our faces and we admired Marbella, San Pedro, Estepona, Sotogrande and as far as Gibraltar, and on the other side Elviria, Benalmadena, Mijas, Cabopino... The clouds were still scattered about the horizon but the sights were sublime and the gorgeous landscape was jawdroppingly beautiful.

up on our triumphs and disasters over the past years as the sun began to set in the west and showered us all in its golden light, the sea shimmered on the horizon, the leaves shone in shades of amber, copper and rust and the sky turned pink.

for TEN HOURS! The Monkey stormed ahead with his stick unafraid of the hooting and wind rushing through the trees and we all followed on, shattered, cold, hungry, shivering, dreaming of a long bath and a warm meal.

Soon we were all scattered up and down the mountain and travelling down at our own speeds – some were running to catch the football, others hurrying down for Sunday roasts, some were sauntering leisurely and we had one casualty with a sprained ankle, who was hobbling down very bravely. Luckily the ex-SAS dude was at hand to help our wounded hiker and to aid an elderly lady as the light was fading… as it suddenly did.

We all remained in touch throughout Sunday evening until we knew that everyone had descended safely from what had become quite an adventure!

One moment we were marching away and the next we plunged into twilight and then, as we reached the final forest, we were all in pitch black. Luckily our little group had a head torch and the six of us huddled together walking gingerly in the dark and talking loudly to drown out the sound of the owls and the rustling bushes.

How had it got so late? We couldn’t believe it! It was gone 7.30pm and some members of the party had been climbing

Many thanks go to Glenn Ward, for bringing us all together for this worthy cause and for his superb organisation - and a MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who took part and who raised funds for Positively Pink. Big, small, old and young, the atmosphere was amazing and the energy infectious. If you’ve not climbed the Concha, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Whether it’s the adrenalin rush, the company, the fun, the sense of danger, the altitude, or the amazing views… when you’re standing on the summit of that mountain, you really do feel ON TOP OF THE WORLD!

Local photographer, Gary Tapp, launched his drone camera and it went soaring up in the air and we all stood waving as it took photographs and videos of us.

I’M DREAMING OF A

We don’t ever recall there being a great story that started with “Do you remember that Christmas when we were eating the celery sticks and…” (That would be crackers!)

Let’s all be honest – Christmas is a time to enjoy and be merry! It is a time to relax from the stresses of the year just passed and for many of us we find this through food and drink!

However, it has become a norm to accept that it is justified to put on weight and that it is not physically possible to stay trim over the Christmas period.

OILS (FATS) Oil on roasted veg, goose fat potatoes, Turkey basted in oil….

(We really do like to cook with oil).

Fats can be broken down into three categories; Saturated, Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated. In layman’s terms, saturated fats (the bad fat sibling), which is often found in meats and dairy are harder for our body to break down and often get stored as fat in our bodies.

Polyunsaturated fats (often a source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 found in sunflower oils, leafy greens and fish) and monounsaturated fats (found in special cooking oils; such as Olive, Canola, Hemp and Sesame) have both been found to help decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and lower cholesterol.

(The good fat siblings!)

“I wish I didn’t put on those festive pounds, but it was Christmas…” or “I will start to diet again in January!” Sound familiar?! We thought so!

Well, I am not here to lecture you about living the cleanest, healthiest Christmas (we too will be indulging in the Christmas festivities) but we are here to give you some tips on how to keep that waistline looking good this Christmas! (And it will be equally as delicious!)

Christmas

COCONUT OIL This God among healthy foods is actually a saturated fat (uh oh!), but what makes it so fantastic is its incredibly high tolerance to high cooking temperatures.

Therefore, it does not oxidize and break down into toxic particles like other oils such as vegetable oil. In addition, it is a ´thermogenic´, which means it is metabolised immediately (by our liver) and turned into energy. It can therefore help us burn more calories!

Tip

However if you insist on using other oils or fats this Christmas, feel free to use Goose fat because in terms of an animal fat it is one of the healthiest options we can use – it is high in monounsaturated fats!

So, we’ll outline just a few small changes you can make to your traditional Christmas Day to make it that little bit healthier and will provide some nutritional education and dismiss some myths about the foods we eat!

CHOCOLATE A dog is a man’s best friend and chocolate (or diamonds) are a women’s! But chocolate doesn’t have to be that naughty treat, if we eat the right chocolate!

Cocoa, from which chocolate is made, has many health properties but we need to remember the higher the percentage of cocoa, the more abundant these properties are. It’s the additives that makes low percentage cocoa chocolate bad for us!

Christmas

DARK CHOCOLATE It should be at least 70% cocoa, but the higher the better (and preferably organic).

Firstly, high percent dark chocolate has been found to have more antioxidants than blueberries and acai (the so called super fruits!). Antioxidants help prevent disease (heart attacks and cancer to name a few) and help prevent cell damage.

Secondly, research shows that it can help reduce blood pressure and bad cholesterol, which may reduce the risks of heart attacks.

Yes, that does mean we’re telling you to go straight for the chocolate section, but remember a few cubes a day keeps the doctor away! Don´t overindulge.

ALCOHOL Alcohol is always more in demand over the Christmas period. Whether it be, wine, beer, cocktails or spirits; what drinks should we be drinking to ensure we don’t pack on the pounds?

Well, all alcohol carries calories (empty ones – as in there is no nutritional benefit to drinking, only social) but some alcoholic drinks contain less calories than others!

Per measure, this is how our favourites stack up: Red or White Wine 120-150 calories per glass Beers 150-180 calories per pint Spirits 90-100 calories per measure (without mixer) Cocktails 120-220 per glass (depending on the cocktail)

Christmas Tip VERMOUTH, LIGHT BEERS AND STRAIGHT SPIRITS Vermouth is like the Arnie of the drinks world; it’s the healthiest with a mere 50 calories per measure! Light beers can provide a better calorie intake for you beer lovers with approximately 80 calories per bottle. Straight spirits can also keep the calories under the 100 mark.

Whatever you do this Christmas, remember that moderation is the key and that maintaining weight is simple….if we consume more calories than we burn, we will put on weight and vice versa.

Our recommendation is to drink a glass of water in between each drink. It should halve your calorie intake and ensure you are not dehydrated. You will thank me for this on Boxing Day!

So if you do let yourself eat a few naughty things this Christmas, make sure you do some exercise…and, if not, we know a fantastic women only boot camp that will help you out!

Breathe Easy...

The experts at HC Clinic offer you peace of mind in the face of lung cancer.

LUNG CANCER Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers. People who smoke tend to be at greater risk for the disease, and studies have shown that female smokers may be more likely to

develop lung cancer than male smokers. But lung cancer can also occur in people who have never smoked.

TYPES OF LUNG CANCER There are two main types of lung cancer.

The type you have depends on which cells the cancer began in.

Non-small cell lung cancer is more common than small cell lung cancer, which tends to grow and spread faster than non-small lung cancer.

Because small cell lung cancer tends to grow and spread quickly, the primary treatment is chemotherapy. Treatment for non-small cell lung cancer, on the other hand, usually involves surgery.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer It is the most common type of lung cancer and is usually treated with surgery. This form of the disease begins when the cells that make up the lining of the lungs, called epithelial cells, become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumour.

Non-small cell lung cancer tumours can be put into further subcategories based on specific genetic mutations that can take place in cancer cells. Our doctors can identify these mutations during your diagnostic testing and use this information to determine what treatments might be most effective for you.

Small Cell Lung Cancer It is less common than non-small cell lung cancer and accounts for about 13 percent of all lung cancer cases per year It develops in equal numbers among men and women. Diagnosis and treatment for small cell lung cancer is different from that of non-small cell lung cancer and usually involves chemotherapy.

LUNG CANCER SCREENING GUIDELINES: WHO WE SCREEN Our doctors recommend screening for people based on their age and the number of years they’ve smoked. * People between the ages of 55 and 74 * People who have smoked at least one pack of cigarettes per day for 30 years should be screened with low-dose helical CT of the chest.

Such individuals should have lowdose CT of the chest once a year for a total of three years.

OUR SERVICES Our Tobacco Treatment Program draws on a wide range of approaches to help you quit. We use safe and effective medications and the latest behavioural techniques to help you break this physical addiction and become skilled in using diverse strategies to resist urges to smoke.

Therapies can include nicotine replacement and other tobacco cessation medications, along with practical behavioral strategies for managing tobacco urges and cravings. We also teach relaxation, stress management techniques, and mood management approaches, and offer counseling in individual and group settings.

Preventing a relapse of tobacco use after quitting is central to our approach, and we provide coaching on specific skills for preventing or handling “slips” and maintaining longterm success.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF QUITTING

People who have smoked QUITTING SMOKING Smoking, or exposure to tobacco products in any form, is the major risk factor for lung cancer. Nonsmokers who breathe the smoke of others, often called secondhand smoke, are also at increased risk for lung cancer.

but recently quit and those who continue to smoke are at ten to 20 times the risk of people who have never smoked.

TOBACCO TREATMENT PROGRAM Since it started, Tobacco Treatment Program has helped thousands of individuals stop using tobacco products.

Sometimes, there’s no clear reason why a person develops lung cancer. In fact, up to 20 percent of people with non-small cell lung cancer have never smoked.

That said, people who have smoked but recently quit and those who continue to smoke are at ten to 20 times the risk of people who have never smoked.

If you’re a current or former smoker, you may want to consider screening for lung cancer.

There is an online tool that can help you better understand your risk as well as screening services for those who are at high risk.

Other risk factors include exposure to asbestos or radon. These toxic substances can cause damage to the lungs, leading to cancer.

Our program is open to everyone.

Health benefits to stopping the use of tobacco begin almost immediately.

Within 24 hours, your heart rate returns to normal, your blood level of carbon monoxide (which reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen) declines, and your risk of a heart attack decreases.

Over time, your lung function improves significantly. You will also likely feel and look healthier, save money, and protect other people from secondhand exposure to smoke.

OUR TOBACCO TREATMENT TEAM Our Pneumologist and psychologist and physiotherapies experts understand physical and psychosocial addiction and emotional dependences. We are committed to helping you achieve your goal of a tobacco-free life.

Small changes that make the World of difference

Recently I have been asked a few questions about what I eat, what makes me happy, what do I recommend… The list goes on. To be honest, happiness and wellbeing is such a personal thing. What makes me jump for joy may not be someone else’s cup of tea and vice versa.

Listen to your body: This might be an old saying but what I am trying to say is that you REALLY need to listen to your body. If you are suffering from fatigue, indigestion, mood swings… Listen up! Your body is trying to tell you that you need to make a change. Whatever your current habits are, they ain’t working!

Eat less meat: Yep, I’m afraid this one can’t be avoided.

Even the government of the United states, WHO and Unicef are all now saying we need to cut down our meat consumption for the sake of the environment and our current health status. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to cut it out completely - just make better choices! Go for quality versus quantity and make sure you know where your products come from and how they made it onto your dinner table. I can agree that being vegan or vegetarian isn’t for everyone but what ends up on your plate and how it get there is still within your power.

42

I have bad days and am far from perfect but have learnt some things along the way that make me look at life a little bit differently. All I can do is speak from my own experience and tell you what has made me feel better and makes me tick on a daily basis.

Pause technology: Try and have tech-free moments when you are bored. This might sound easy but try not to reach for your phone when waiting for the tube, when you are in a queue or in any moment of deliberate boredom. Don’t switch on the television just for the sake of the background noise.

Wake up from mental hibernation and use your brain for what it was made for! THINK, solve, ponder and endure the company of yourself!

Exercise: Yes! Everyone knows this one but trust me, muscles are not made by wishful thinking or by a magic wand… only by actual exercise! Choose an activity that you really enjoy and stick to it. It can be as simple as making sure you go for a walk everyday.

Physical activity makes you feel better - it’s proven! The fact that it makes you fit is an added bonus.

FEEL-GOOD FACTOR

Take time out: Take time out from the buzz of the world - from traffic, from ‘have to’s’, from the media, from your phone, from family members that stress you out. Call it meditation, vacation, alone time - just make sure that you have time out every now and again.

Whether this is on a daily basis by switching yourself off from the world for 5 minutes or by taking a holiday and relaxing for a longer period of time, it is important that at some point in our busy lives we are able to stop and just let ourselves have a moment.

Be Happy: This one is super important! Define and decide what makes you happy - what is your heart telling you? What makes you tick?

What ignites that fire in your heart that we call love? It can be towards a person, passion, lover, friend… choose anything! Figure out what it is and do it MORE! Tell your head to stop arguing with your heart because when you do it results in happiness and that is something money can’t buy.

Eat more GREENS: Yes yes, I know you must have heard this a million times before, but your parents were right and so were their parents. Veggies and fruit are filled with vitamins, fibre, minerals and the best part is that the amounts are limitless so you can eat as much of them as you want! Do not limit your intake of fruit and veggies because they are so good for you.

Cut out drainers: Basically, cut out all the stuff that is negative in your life. This can be people, family members, work, situations or bad habits.

You always have a choice, ALWAYS! If you choose to stick with something that is draining your energy you have to deal with the consequences. Another option is to limit the negativity which means if you have an incredibly annoying relative/person/work colleague, all you need to do is limit the time that you spend with them. Start thinking about the things in your life that you do just because you feel you have to rather then because you want to. That’s a good start.

Self love: If you love yourself, your relationship to everything else will change. This means that if you can look at yourself in the mirror and accept yourself for who you truly are, with all your faults and say “this is who I am and I am ok with it” then you have won half of the battle already. Love and compassion towards yourself, your surroundings and all living things is some of the BEST health advice I can give and it’s a real game changer. When we can value ourselves, our capabilities and the fact that every single one of us matter and that every single thing around us matters, that is when things within us bring profound change.

MY MOST MEMORABLE MEAL OF THIS MONTH: I have been going to Capuccino since it opened and have to say that there is no better place in Marbella to have sundowners. Not just that but recently they also added organic and vegetarian dishes to their menu! I love the Hummus with veggies and my daughter loves the pan con tomate – pricey yes but unbeatable sunsets!

Festive

Party

Perfect

To achieve this hairstyle:

This look is very simple but effective and it looks fabulous on long hair and short hair alike.

This is how I created it...

First, brush the hair through and apply some heat protecting serum, I like to use this one (L’Oréal Studio Line Hot & Smooth Hot Curl Spray). This look normally works better on hair that hasn’t been freshly washed as it will hold the style better and won’t drop out as quickly. Once you have applied the serum, divide the hair in sections about an inch wide. Now, using a curling wand, - depending on how tight you want the curls, I find using a thinner wand for longer hair and a wider wand for shorter hair works best for this look- start to curl the hair from just below the root in both directions, I normally do one to the left and one to the right and carry on with this pattern. When you have finished curling all of the hair apply a generous amount of hairspray while the curls are still untouched; this will help them to stay in longer. Let the curls set for about 5-10mins and then tip your head upside down and start to run your fingers through the curls to loosen them up; do this from the root so as to add some volume. Flip your hair back the right way up and backcomb the roots a little if needed. Apply a little more hairspray and any accessories you want and there you have an easy, sexy, party-ready hair do!

Winter party season has arrived!

This really is my favourite time of the year as you can really go for it with glitz and glam when doing your make-up. Nothing screams Christmas or New Year’s Eve party quite like some sparkly eye shadow and a glamorous hair do.

To achieve this makeup:

When I think of gold season I automatically think gold, warm toned browns and luscious lashes, so that is exactly what I did for this eyeshadow look; it’s timeless and sexy and something you can recreate for yourself.

It may seem a little strange at first but for this look it’s best to do the eyes first, as it contains a lot of heavy pigmented colours and it’s inevitable that they are going to drop down onto the cheeks.

By starting with the eyes it allows you to clean up underneath and get a flawless finish when it comes to applying your foundation.

I started off by applying a pearlescent white shadow as a base; by using white first it makes the colours you layer over the top stand out a little more. On top of the white, I applied the KIKO water eye shadow in the shade ‘yellow’, this is a really bright gold and is perfect for this time of the year. Once I had applied this colour all over the lid, I started to apply a medium brown colour very gently in the crease of the eye and taking it out in the shape of a triangle. With this look it’s good to use something as a guideline, like a piece of tissue or a piece of body tape, it looks best when its super neat.

Once the brown is applied and blended in to the gold, I started to apply the two darkest shades from the KIKO colour fever eye shadow palette in the shade ‘coral burgundy’ which is a very warm burgundy pink, again into the crease and out to the outer corner.

This colour over the top of the gold and the brown gives a lovely subtle warmth to the whole look and complements the colours wonderfully. I also applied a little of this colour with an angled brush along the bottom lash line, this outlines the eye and joins the top and the bottom together.

Finish this off by adding a black liner inside the lower waterline. When this is all applied and blended so there are no harsh lines, apply a black liquid eyeliner along the top lash line; how you decide to apply this is totally up to personal preference. Some people like it really thick whereas some people like it very thin. Once you have tried out a few different styles it is easy to decide how you prefer to wear yours. To complete the eyes, apply a thick coat of mascara or some false eyelashes, my favourites are the Eylure Volume No.70 lashes, they add volume and length without looking fake.

When the eyes are complete, apply your face makeup as you normally would, taking care not to go over the eye make-up and to finish the look, apply your favourite lipstick. This particular eye make-up goes just as well with a nude lip as it does with a deep plum, so it is purely down to personal preference. You can also make adjustments in colours so this look can carry you straight through to the New Year.

Daniel Boardman, Senior Hair Technician at Reflections Hair, Nails and Skincare Salon in Marbella, trained under the multi-award-winning Errol DouglasMBE. Daniel cut his teeth working on shoots for the likes of Cosmo and Elle, while his Fashion Week experience gave him the skills to tackle any hair type or problem.

ToHoliday Hair YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE

Seriously, A-list level glamour is a MUST as we bounce from party to party this season. Christmas dos are one hundred per cent worth pulling out the stops for on the tress front.

This issue, Daniel is going to show you how to get serious hair envy from your family and friends.

SHINE BRIGHT

First stop is to make sure your hair is looking its best and this means investing in a salon treatment - and not just any salon treatment. Just a quick warning, I am about to change your life. You can thank me later with anything from the latest Dolce & Gabbana collection. Please let me introduce you to Olaplex. The brainchild of scientists (NOT beauty insiders), this ‘Holy Grail’ of hair treatments can transform brittle and broken hair. It’s how Kim K went platinum and back without ruining her locks. Yes it is that good and I have fallen head over heels in love...AGAIN Kim Kardashian

Olaplex, developed in the US, was launched to great acclaim there at the end of last year - everyone from top hairdressers to the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow are said to be fans. It has now hit Europe and we at Reflections are one of the first salons on the Coast to be offering this state-of-the-art treatment.

There are tons of products that claim to repair hair, from proteins that make it feel stronger to keratin which smooths the cuticle. Those treatments work on a superficial level, making your hair appear healthier without actually healing it. Olaplex, though, works on a cellular level. It actually repairs the bonds of hair like little workers coming in and soldering chain links together. It doesn’t just make your hair look better, it reconnects the broken chain links in the hair’s cells.

Olaplex means you can go further with bleaching and, as long as you treat the hair with it, you can bleach over and over again without turning hair to candy floss. Total freedom of colour and elimination of damage – see why I am so impressed? It’s a total game changer for the hair industry.

My advice - book in for the full Olaplex 30 minute treatment, €49, at Reflections, before the party season starts. This will make sure that you outshine everyone and I think it’s worth every penny.

BE BLUNT ABOUT IT

Middle part? Check. Sleek strands?

Midi bob? Got it! If you are wanting to take your look up a notch then take notes from Kendall Jenner’s red carpet appearance for your next after-work event. Keep the cut neat and blunt as possible. Oh, and the secret to getting straight hair that doesn’t look limp is the product. Use a pea-sized amount of shine serum such as Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil, €37,20 once hair is completely done as a gloss.

Kendall Jenner

A SPLASH OF COLOUR

Around the holiday season people tend to go red. Why, people? I wouldn’t personally be that drastic just for Christmas. For me it’s more about freshening up the tone, shaking a healthy mane on the work do dance floor and just being a more polished version of yourself. You don’t want to lose yourself in the festivities.

If you still don’t want to listen to me, then colour wise, I have said it before and I am saying it again - this time with an added eye roll - it’s still all about ash blonde tones and pure white is totally rocking it. Candy Crush colours are still going strong, pastel pinks, greens and blues. If you fancy being part of the rainbow hair revolution, make sure you talk to your stylist first as it takes a lot of upkeep.

FEEL-GOOD FACTOR

LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED

We often turn to vintage beauty styles for inspiration during the holidays. Side-swept Hollywood waves is my Number One pick for family dinners, particularly if you are meeting the parents for the first time. Take inspiration from my muse (I wish!) Blake Lively, by wrapping hair around a oneinch curling iron and brushing the curls into yummy S-shaped waves.

If you are heading straight from work to your office Xmas party and a salon visit is out of the question, then the sleek pony is about to become your best friend. One of the key looks from fashion week, it will totally transform your look in under ten minutes. If your dress has an interesting detail in the back, a high ponytail will show off every minute element and, no matter your age, a satin ribbon is basically instant holiday cheer.

How fab-u-licious is this full-bodied up-do, beautifully demoed by Emma Watson? They key here is getting heaps of texture into your hair before working on the messy bun. Tong your hair all over first, and use some dry shampoo such as Redken Pillow Proof €16,88 for a matte texture.

If you want to keep it simple then you can always book in from a blow-dry, but STAY AWAY from the big bouncy blow-dries they are soooo yesterday’s news.

My clients are now asking for a look that is more about movement and less about curls.

THE GIFT THAT KEEP ON GIVING

This year all my friends and family will be getting the Kérastase Elixir Ultime Shampoo and Serum SET €48,50. One, because I can use my staff discount (oh come on - like you wouldn’t do the same!) and two, because they provide ultimate shine, softness and nourishment for all hair types. So basically I am giving them fabulous hair in a bottle. I know, I know, I am just too generous sometimes.

TIPS HOW TO DRESS ON

FOR NEW YEARS EVE

If you’re lucky enough to be attending a year-end party, you need to know how to dress for the occasion in a striking way. Most holidays are festive and a little crazy, and your style should reflect that.

1

SHOW A LITTLE SKIN Choose a skirt length that works for you. Short skirts are relatively standard for New Year’s Eve, but if you feel uncomfortable exposing too much skin, knee length skirts and long dresses are very glamorous possibilities.

Choose an interesting neckline.

Instead of a straight cut neckline, consider something a little more flirtatious, like a crossed strap or strapless neckline. If you prefer, try a festive V neckline keeping shoulders covered but part of your collarbone exposed.

3

If you feel a little wary about exposing the shoulders or chest area, but you have a pretty good skin tone, an open back dress could be the perfect option for you. A covered up front keeps your look classy, ​​ while the back gives an unexpected glimpse of your more sensual side.

For most people, there are not many occasions when you get the opportunity to wear a full sequined dress. On New Year’s Eve, however, sequins are a classic and remember to have fun as you can get away with nearly anything!

Soften your look with a sequined skirt, especially if a sequined dress is too bright for your style. Match the skirt with a solid colour top or blouse. as it will offer a particularly nice contrast to your shiny skirt!

Rely on your trusty little black dress. When all else fails, the little black dress will always come to your rescue!

This makes the perfect background for dressing up with dazzling jewels and shiny shoes.

ACCESORIES Diamonds add glamour to your outfit, but remember: less is more! Try a simple pair of diamond earrings or a necklace with an attractive diamond, to draw the attention to your face or neck. The wearer will be sure to shine!

Have fun and add some coloured jewellery! Colored

54

2

ADD SOME GLITZ & GLAMOUR

gemstones can add a little festive flair to your outfit, and give your look an unexpected touch.

Combine the colours of the stones with other details of the outfit - for example, a brooch on your jacket - to make all the elements of your look come together in a seamless way.

A clutch is the classic accessory

for parties. If you’ve gone for a matte colour in the rest of your outfit, a bright clutch can give your outfit a whole new look!

You can also choose one with a subtle shine, either in gold or silver, or spice things up with one covered in sequins or glitter.

All Eyes On Her A daring and enchanting Sharon Stone in the film Casino was a fanciful and head turning character who enjoyed having all eyes on her. A red dress is a showstopper and attention drawer for any festivity this month. Wear it with confidence and you will be sure to shine!

Sparkling Rush Hour Don’t be late when midnight strikes and step out in a stylish and daring ensemble, adding a touch of blue for good luck, tapping into your sexier and more playful side.

Dare to wear a Swarovski crystal embroidered body and let your hair wildy loose and free to welcome the New Year!

We enjoyed a delicious high tea, tombola and raffle with great prizes all in aid of Charity for the Children – as well as some scrumptious cakes that we purchased, in support of the charity, to take home.

We were delighted with a beautiful dance performance by the Dancing School of Marbella, who thrilled us with stunning performances and some lively entertainment.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon amongst friends and we all had a great time. Congratulations to Like a Queen on another successful show – and of course, Lion’s Club Cosmopolitan Marbella Puerto Banús for the splendid organisation.

ports Series, Super Series and Ultimate Series. These are the three flavours of the full McLaren model range as envisaged from the start.

The P1 was the first expression of the Ultimate Series, and McLaren’s flag bearer, but there will not be another car in this Series for a few years.

Now that the core of the McLaren business case has been well established with the MP4-12C, its 650S successor, and the mighty 675LT, it is time to go after volume with the Sports Series. This is a less uncompromising, less expensive, but still hand-built range of cars designed to hunt in Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8 and Porsche Turbo territory.

Frankly, if a non-enthusiast saw a McLaren 570S drive past they would not believe it was an entry-level model. After all, with its new taillights,

make it easy to find the perfect driving position, it has even more P1-inspired styling cues than the more expensive 650S. However, the 540C and 570S are the new bread and butter McLaren models, and the cars that the Woking-based firm hopes will take sales up to their selfimposed cap of 4,000 units a year.

The fact that McLaren have already taken 1,000 orders for their new baby even before customers have had the chance to sit in a car or drive one speaks volumes for the gravitas the brand has built up in a relatively short time.

The 570S is launched in November as a Coupe, and McLaren told us officially that the Spider version will be along in 2017. Judging by the much greater take-up rate of the 650S Spider over the Coupe, the same sales mix will likely follow with the al fresco version of the 570S as well.

While the true entry-level car is the 540C, which will retail for £128,000 in the UK, McLaren chose to launch their new range with the 570S (£143,000 in the UK), whose design tenets, like all this motorsport-based company’s cars, revolve around advanced chassis, aerodynamics, high-tech materials, outstanding engine performance and low weight.

Low weight was consistently chased here, and at 1,344kg (dry weight) the 570S is around 150kg lighter than any class rival. On that score, the advent of LED headlamp technology has been a boon. Each of these bespoke units weighs just 2.7kg, but is more powerful and consumes less power than the xenon equivalents that went before.

TORQUE TALK

The engine powering the 570S is yet another variation of the twinturbocharged 3.8-litre flat-plane crank V8 in every McLaren model, and in this less powerful application, the engine’s internal code is M838TE. The engineers are continually improving its response, efficiency and sound, and compared to the 650S version it has 30% new parts including tubular exhaust manifolds in place of the ‘log’ style units. This more efficient manifold design also helps the exhaust harmonics towards a better soundtrack.

The firing order of 1-8-3-6-4-5-2-7 makes the motor behave like two separate four-cylinder engines, and so the exhaust gases from each cylinder bank only meet for the first time at the rear silencer.

Output is a healthy 570hp (562bhp) at 7,500rpm, with 600 Nm of torque from 5,000 to 6,500rpm. This is the first version of the McLaren V8 to feature start-stop technology, which helps it achieve an average fuel consumption of 10.7L/100km, along with 249g/km of CO2 emissions.

Against the stopwatch, this Sports Series car has major league supercar performance with a 0-100km/h time of 3.2 sec, 0-200km/h in 9.5 sec, and a top speed of 328km/h (204mph).

Helping the cause is the smooth and rapid 7-speed SSG twin-clutch gearbox, whose steering wheel mounted paddle shifter action has now been honed to a very high level of tactile precision.

It comes as no surprise that the absence of the active suspension elements featured in more expensive McLaren models removes the thin layer of feedback opacity that is a hallmark of all state-of-the-art suspension systems using such technology.

Because of this, the 570S talks to you through the seat of your pants in a way that it’s more powerful, more techladen big brothers do not. It has a directness and clarity in what it is doing, even in what it is about to do, that I found quite refreshing.

There is a bit more body roll, but the important thing is the subtle progression with which it adopts its cornering set.

Although it is a well sharpened tool, there is nothing sudden about the way the chassis reacts to inputs, and it feels perfectly measured in the best traditional sense of the term. And when you do find the limit, the linear characteristic velocity means it lets go progressively as well.

The clarity of intent part was made abundantly clear during high speed testing at the demanding Portimão circuit, where the weather on the day was somewhat changeable, and a big shower descended on the track just before my session.

Although the rain passed quickly and the sun returned to dry out the tarmac, I was still venturing out onto a damp circuit where less travelled parts; the two hairpin bends in particular, would remain slippery for a while.

Like other McLaren models, the 570S also has variable ratio electro-hydraulic assistance, but the steering rack and front-end geometry are unique to this car. With 2.5 turns lock-to-lock it feels crisp and nicely weighted.

The transparency of the 570S chassis really came into its own when driving in these semi-slippery conditions. The front end proved very lucid through the helm on the way into the 180-degree left-hand hairpins, a slow entry speed in second gear rewarded with a full report on just how much mechanical grip was available at the tyre contact patches.

I could feel the steering go slightly light when treading the fine line between grip and slip, the back end continuing to track faithfully.

This high level of seat-of-the-pants communication from the steering and chassis lets you know exactly when and by how much you can ease into the throttle as steering lock comes off on the way out of a turn.

In the faster turns on the rapidly drying circuit, I was surprised at just how much mechanical grip the Pirelli Corsa tyres could generate. With no standing

TORQUE TALK

water and a near consistently damp surface, I was pulling an indicated 145km/h on the exit from the righthander leading on to the main straight.

In bone-dry conditions it would likely have been 165km/h or more, but this shows how far today’s track day rubber has come in terms of wet grip, even without the positive downforce of the 650S. McLaren has done a lot of work on the throttle response of their twin-turbo V8, and it allows you to meter in precisely the amount of power required.

Thus, it is not difficult for a sensitive driver who knows not to be greedy with the throttle to ride the torque curve in a higher gear in such conditions to ‘float’ the car round a damp or wet track right on the limit of grip with no drama.

McLaren told us that their new carbon-fibre tub is heavier but no less rigid than that of its bigger brothers, so despite having a lower sill to ease ingress and egress in its role as a daily driver, the 570S tub provides a solid platform for the suspension to work optimally.

90

The simplified suspension arrangement still uses double wishbones all round, but in place of the active damping and anti-roll bars are conventional hydraulic dampers and hollow tubular steel anti-roll bars.

The dampers are independently adjustable for bounce and rebound, while the anti-roll bars have short drop links that ensure their roll centres are coincident with the roll centres of the axles. “It actually took longer to perfectly calibrate this traditional set up than it normally does the active system,” said McLaren CTO, Carlo Della Casa.

The extra effort was worth it, and even on the undulations that characterise the road between the Portimão Circuit and the highway, the 570S chassis really shone. These bumps can become pretty unsettling at big speeds, but the small Mac took them in its stride, every input being damped perfectly, the suspension instantly recovering, ready to address the next bump.

The discernable difference between the suspension in its Normal and Sport modes is very obvious on the road.

At 50km/h or less through towns and villages, Normal confers a firm but fluid ride. In a car with the very comfortable and supportive normal sports seats, you certainly feel that a long session behind the wheel will not be overly taxing on mind and body.

“Swing the wider opening doors open and first impressions are good.”

As you go faster, Normal starts to feel a bit soft as a trace of body movement seeps into the equation. Time to engage the Sport setting, which pulls everything back nicely, while never becoming harsh.

650S. Secondary ride comfort is only slightly affected, but on the other hand, I find the greater transparency of feedback from the 570S’s chassis makes for a more engaging steer.

If anything I was surprised how good ride and suspension control is compared to the active system in the

Of course part of that can be accounted for by the smaller wheels and tyres, which give up some

TORQUE TALK

mechanical grip, but also make the handling more tactile. Here, 8.0J x 19-inch and 10.0J x 20-inch alloys are shod with 225/35ZR19 and 285/35ZR20 Pirelli PZero Corsa tyres.

The brakes are good on both road and track. While the pedal travel is longer than a Porsche with PCCB brakes, I actually find that a positive trait as it makes the brake action easier to modulate. The carbonceramic discs and alloy calipers are the same as on the 650S, but the pads and calibration are 570S specific.

Swing the wider opening doors open and first impressions are good. The leather on the side sills, seats and dashboard give the cabin an air of luxury, and as one engineer jokingly pointed out, “It is the first McLaren with two vanity mirrors!�

McLaren put a lot of effort into making the 570S a more practical car for those who wish to use it as a daily driver. To that end, the lower, narrower side sills, and doors that open to a more vertical angle are a significant help in getting in and out more easily.

The powered steering column and comfort seats make it easy to find the perfect driving position, while an easy access feature moves the steering wheel and comfort seats apart when you switch off, a first in a car of this type.

Of course if you opt for the one-piece lightweight race seats, you have to move them yourself.

I drove to the track in a car with normal seats, did my hot laps in a car with race seats and drove back to the hotel in a car with race seats. Maybe I am getting old but I preferred the standard seats as the hard race seats get to your posterior on bumpy roads after a while, while the non-adjustable backrest means they will not fit everyone. Their high sides also make getting in and out of this low car more of a trial if you have to do it often.

The all-new electronic instrument pack underlines McLaren’s illustrious racing heritage by only putting immediately necessary information in front of the driver.

91

TORQUE TALK

The well-considered interior design continues with the latest incarnation of the central telematics display. While this started out as an embarrassment for McLaren on the MP4-12C, the latest system works very well indeed with a 7-inch touch screen whose user interface is pretty self-explanatory, and a match for anything else out there.

For music lovers, one of the jewels in the 570S crown is the Bowers & Wilkins audio system. There are three levels to choose from, and our test cars all featured the top-of-the range 1,280 Watt, 12-speaker system, which is dynamic and musical, with convincing sound staging.

The system uses the tweeter design from B&W’s Nautilus speakers for its centrechannel. This is the object above the air vents on the dashboard that one uninitiated soul who looked at the car suggested was a microphone!

On the move, the well shaped A-pillars and vertical rear window provide excellent visibility. Even at an oblique T-junction, the glazing ensures good line of sight over your shoulder.

This fine all-round visibility makes the 570S feel smaller than it is, and less intimidating than other mid-engine machines in traffic. Finally, a front lift function is optional, and well worth having if there are car park ramps and speed bumps where you live.

Downsides? I spent a few minutes looking for the engine cover release.

After a frustrating search I only managed to find a button on the drivers’ door that popped open the cover panel on the carbon-fibre rear deck, under which the oil and water top up points live.

92

“I could feel the steering go slightly light when treading the fine line between grip and slip” It transpires that you need tools to remove the engine cover, which will disappoint owners who would like to show off the 570hp twin-turbo engine to their friends. I hope McLaren does not pick up any more bad habits from Porsche!

Like the 650S, the much less expensive 570S also uses aluminium for much of its bodywork. The normal engine cover is made from superformed aluminium, but our test cars had the optional carbon-fibre version, along with the rear diffuser, front spoiler lip, side intake blades and side sills in this material. Some of the cars had the optional carbon-fibre roof panel as well.

In tailoring the 570S as their most road focused and practical model yet, for significantly less money than the 650S, McLaren has opened the door to a much larger market.

Where previous models were rivals for the likes of the Ferrari 458 and Lamborghini Huracan, the 570S is pegged at around £143,000 in the UK. This drops it right into Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8 and Porsche Turbo territory, where its mid-engine credentials, head turning looks and strong performance make it a very attractive alternative.

In the real world, the stopwatch performance of the 570S is not far behind the 650S, and is actually on par with the original 592hp MP4-12C, which weighed more.

That means the 570S is a good match for the 610hp Audi R8 V10 Plus and 560hp Porsche Turbo S, both of which are

considerably heavier. That said, its 328km/h (204mph) top speed makes the McLaren the fastest car in this group.

With no active aerodynamics, the 570S does not have the positive downforce of its bigger brothers. It has very slight downforce, but the actual aim was to make it aerodynamically neutral and balanced, and it certainly felt very stable at 265km/h, which is as fast as I could safely go on the day.

After driving the baby McLaren 570S on road and track, I would not hesitate to say that its more intuitive, more analogue feel really appeals to my fingertips and seat of the pants.

While the 570S might appear on paper to be a simplified, entry-level model to broaden McLaren’s market reach and make conquest sales from the class below the 650S, the result is a very complete and accomplished car in itself.

The 570S is mature and well sorted, worryingly so for its potential rivals. In fact, if the 650S did not exist, and were McLaren not intent on rattling Ferrari with the 650S and 675LT, the 570S would be a worthy car in any company. Most importantly of all in this class, it looks and feels special.

In fact, even if I had the financial wherewithal to buy the 650S, the greater tactile enjoyment the 570S delivers through its more direct and authentic feel, would seal the deal for me.

The projects that we undertake are so varied here at FOC Design and our team members are constantly inspired and continually kept on their toes.

We are fortunate enough to work on both residential and commercial designs and this requires us to keep our fingers on the pulse with the always evolving interior world, making sure our input is fresh and unique, not monotonous or repetitive.

t was once famously said that an Englishman’s home is his castle. This sentiment can be applied across all continents and species. Your home or nest is safe, warm and somewhere to always seek solace. The interior design reflects that and usually the colours, patterns and shapes are chosen to create a feeling of calm and comfort.

For centuries however, creatives have used art, design and interiors to push boundaries.

When making a political statement has been dangerous, people have been able to rely on the arts to send a subtle (or not so subtle) message. When something like wallpaper which is usually considered attractive, safe and homely is used to subvert expectation, often the effect is all the more shocking or unexpected. Wallpapers, fabrics, furniture, even crockery can be used to report on scandal or controversy and the result is both shocking and intriguing. Our natural curiosity and inherent secret desire to break the rules is awakened‌ Looking back over design history proves that being off the wall can very often lead to great things.

time were extremely risquĂŠ but looking at those images or buildings today we enjoy them without necessarily being shocked.

Contemporary artists like Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and architect Zaha Hadid are prime examples of creators who use design as a medium to shock or surprise. Not just for the sake of shocking but because they enjoy exploring those areas of discomfort and they are passionate about what it unearths in them as designers and the subsequent effect it can also have on those who experience their work. When it comes to interiors, having carte blanche to create a space is integral to the very soul of interior design.

New ideas, new concepts and pushing the boundaries may not be everyones cup of tea but continuing to challenge the notion of a space is both exciting and important.

Often taking inspiration from the female form it was confrontational for many, bearing in mind that in those days a lady showing her ankle was seen as forward and vulgar. Many have seen the iconic Paris Metro stations designed by Guimard or wondered over the world famous Lalique glassware.

Now, these examples of Art Nouveau define a time and place but at the time were subversive, risqué and challenging to many.

A few years later the Bauhaus movement followed and it was yet another cutting edge concept considered extreme and bizarre.

Some of the examples featured in this article may be considered contemporary examples of “off the wall”. Interior design continues to reinvent itself and those of us who like to renew and reinvent our own spaces should take note.

simple as a door handle say about you or your space? Perfect design is establishing a healthy balance between function and aesthetics but what if once the function part is covered, one takes the aesthetic to another level? Re-writing the very definition of a door handle from functional object to a functional object that can also challenge and question is inspiring. Suddenly a simple functional object is noticed, suddenly it makes you think.

Inviting this concept into your home is easier than it seems. Don’t for one minute think that in order to achieve this your home needs a complete refurb with shocking bright wallpapers, skull door handles, neon signs and pinball machines converted into coffee tables. The idea is not to shock just for the sake of it but to find humour in the unusual.

You can be playful and use just one of the aforementioned ideas, subtle but effective, and take pleasure in your guests faces each time they notice the unconventional feature.

Finding functionality and beauty in the unexpected is always a pleasure.

Every space is unique, and everyone should have at least one part of their home that is ‘off the wall’.

he coast’s première Scandinavian furniture business hosted a fabulous relaunch party in late October 2015.

The company that has shops in Marbella and Mijas is under new ownership, and to celebrate this new era in the Loft & Roomers story, they invited 300 guests to join them at the glittering occasion.

Gastrogems Catering served creative canapés and drinks in a superbly decorated roof terrace setting at the Mijas furniture store, accompanied by wonderful live music by Paul “The Piano Man” Maxwell and Roberto Cantero on sax.

The new owners took over on 1 September 2015 and the firm now has an entirely new Board of Directors and management structure. The company currently has two beautiful shops; one in Mijas and the other on Marbella’s exclusive Golden Mile where you can spot its colourful and creative furniture displays as you drive past.

Both are outstanding showcases for the exceptional furniture that is the hallmark of the Loft & Roomers style.

WHY LOFT & ROOMERS? The company’s mission is to offer “Nordic Living for Less,” and it is a Scandinavian aesthetic and interior decoration philosophy that informs the name as well.

‘Loft’ refers to the simple and minimalistic style that we have come to associate with Scandinavian design, plus of course, a loft is a small space that requires thoughtful furnishing. ‘Roomers’ stands for a certain elegance combined with rustic and rural touches that add cosiness and warmth to every living space.

A STYLE FOR EVERYONE One thing that is certain about the furniture stocked at Loft & Roomers; there is something for everyone and for every size of home. Studio dwellers will find storage furniture that maximizes space and those who work at home will find desk and shelving units, plus some funky and fun office chairs. There is furniture and fittings, plus lighting and accessories for every single room in the house, and the garden spaces haven’t been left out either, which is fortunate as residents on the coast have more use for outdoor furniture than many other Europeans.

Mijas, Ctra. de Mijas Km. 3.5 , Fuengirola 29650 ,Mijas Costa (Málaga)

But, Loft & Roomers don’t just offer a range of furniture that is suited to apartment living, their range of products is equally at home furnishing a large villa, and in great style.

They also offer amazing wonderfully designed and complete furniture packages tailor-made to meet your requirements and pocket. Just enquire at either store.

LOCAL SERVICE & MULTILINGUAL STAFF Loft & Roomers warehouses 95% of its stock in Spain; this makes the company one of the few furniture companies on the Costa del Sol that can truly offer a FREE and FAST delivery service. Added to this, the friendly and professional staff speak a total of 10 languages and have a wealth of experience in furniture and design. They are always on hand to help you make the right decisions.

Treats for the

Photos by Julia Roder Reviewed by Eleanor McKenzie

The TOWIE Factor And that is exactly what you’d expect from the former TOWIE star, and now proprietor of one of the most talked about establishments on the coast.

Would it surprise you to know that fans of the show fly from the UK just to dine at Olivia’s? This reviewer can reveal that a certain Plymouth-based girlfriend, when asked by her Jimenabased boyfriend what she’d like to do on a recent visit responded, “The only thing I really want to do is go to Olivia’s.” Competing with the attractions of Olivia’s is clearly something that a few may face!

La Cala de Mijas is one of the most up-and-coming places east of Marbella, so it is unsurprising that a restaurateur as ‘on-trend’ as Elliott Wright selected it to launch his Costa del Sol venture.

This charming village that everyone locally simply calls ‘La Cala.’ Is a little gem of an area with a 2,000 metre-long beach and Olivia’s top floor Moët & Chandon champagne bar is the ideal place to sip on a glass of fizz while admiring a 180º sea view of the Mediterranean. It is total glitz and glam.

From AM to PM The restaurant sits right on the Paseo Marítimo, where you can watch the world go by – and at Olivia’s, you can do this all day long if you wish. Those who haven’t visited it may be under the impression that it is an ‘eveningonly’ venue. So, let me correct that impression and reveal that you can have an amazing breakfast here, drop in for a fresh juice after you’ve jogged along the ‘paseo’, or meet a friend for a mid-morning or afternoon coffee.

Indeed, Olivia’s breakfast menu is one of its potential stars.

You will have to travel far and wide to find a menu quite as diverse as the one that Elliott Wright has compiled. It starts off the usual “Full English” but before my eyes have travelled very far down it –having paused at Eggs Benedict, one of my top faves to start the day, and there’s no way I’ll ever make it myself! –they almost pop out at “Shakshouka, coriander & cumin bean tagine, baked eggs, baba ganouche, plum tomato & za’atar flat bead.” Wow! An Arabian breakfast, and Arab cuisine is my absolute favourite.

No wonder there’s a star under it saying

118

COSTA CUISINE

“Recommended.” There’s also smoked kippers, Bircher muesli, bruschetta with feta, gravlax, corn fritters and breakfast enchiladas. I’d have to say this breakfast menu is “the whole enchilada.”

Totally Terrific Tapas But Society was there for the new tapas menu. Now, I have to admit that after a significant number of years in Spain, my heart doesn’t so much ‘skip a beat’ when I hear “let’s do tapas” as start to beat out a funeral march. No more albondigas please, or at least make them only a three or four times a year thing! Anyway, my heart and stomach were very pleasantly surprised by the creativity that had gone into the culinary treats that Olivia’s calls tapas.

Let’s see, where to start? Oh yes, the scallops. I’m devoted to scallops, they are food from heaven and the chefs at Olivia’s certainly know how to pan sear the king scallops that come served with crumbled black pudding and an apple gel. I bet those judges on MasterChef would give the dish top marks.

We’d also ordered “Crispy pork belly,” which is served with baby apples, Burgos black pudding and cauliflower puree.”

Yes, I’m also a black pudding fan. I know, it’s a bit like Marmite; people either love it or are revolted by the idea of it. However, I encourage you ‘black pudding avoiders’ to give these two dishes at Olivia’s a try and if you don’t like it, I’ll eat my…well, I’ll eat your leftovers!

it written on the menu. The confit was perfectly seasoned married well with the fig puree. However, the ginger salsa was out of this world – it certainly packs a punch and if you like your heat turned up, then this sauce will help. But, don’t be afraid – it’s not going to set your mouth on fire.

The Thai red curry on the other hand was perfect for anyone who doesn’t want a curry at blast furnace level. It was extremely tasty though and I’d certainly recommend it as a ‘starter’ for anyone who has never this Thai dish before.

the staff at Olivia’s are charm and fun personified. The atmosphere here is very family friendly, as one might expect since Elliott Wright named the restaurant after his young daughter, yet it still manages to exude a sophisticated ambience suitable for an adult evening out. With live music and theme nights thrown in, Olivia’s must surely be the coast’s top destination for tapas and a treat!

Children welcome!

The “Bulgogi beef with organic black and white sesame & spring onion” was a revelation. I’d never heard of ‘Bulgogi’, which is Korean grilled beef by the way.

And we had some mouthwatering garlic chicken and mushrooms to round it all off.

Every dish is so elegantly presented that often it looks too good to eat and

The “Prawn & avocado baby gems” are little, gorgeous dainty concoctions that freshen the mouth and zing the taste buds. They felt so light and airy as I devoured them that I was sure they must be calorie-free; until I was told not to be so daft!

We’d also ordered something that was a first for all of us – “Warm garlic & chilli marinated olives with red pepper.”

Warm olives? Hmm, unusual, but once we got our heads around the idea and our tongues had absorbed the stunning flavours, we were quite sold on warm olives. We’d definitely order them again!

You can’t really have tapas without croquettes appearing somewhere, but Olivia’s has departed from the typical ham or cheese variety to serve up “Confit duck croquettes, fig puree and ginger salsa.” I felt thrilled just looking at

STARTING AT KM.Ø WHERE YOU’LL LEAVE NO FOOTPRINT!

By Eleanor McKenzie

S

ome weeks ago I saw a status update on Facebook about this fabulous new, healthy restaurant in Nueva Alcántara that catered for vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters. I scratched my head at that for a moment; could you really have carnivores and vegans in the same room without it all turning into a scuffle?

Reduce your carbon footprint – but not your waist!

So, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review this establishment for Society, especially as its reputation as one of the best restaurants around is rapidly gaining hold from one end of Marbella to the other.

But first, why call a restaurant “Kilometro Ø?” I expect that many of you are familiar with the idea of your ‘carbon footprint’ and the need to reduce it: well that’s exactly what you’re doing when you eat at km.Ø, although you’re probably not going to reduce your waistline in equal measure, because the food is simply too delicious for you to do that!

Transporting food is one of the numerous factors in creating a carbon footprint and the maxim “shop local” is one important way to do it. Flying food products half way

122

around the world increases greenhouse gas emissions, so the closer to home your food sources are, the better it is for the planet. And that is what Amanda Gedeon, the charming proprietor of km.Ø is striving to achieve—serving food that is locally sourced – or as close as possible to km.Ø.

The km.Ø concept It’s really quite simple, and Amanda has launched her enterprise in one of the very best places to ‘shop local’ for top quality produce. Those of you who watch cookery shows will probably have noticed that chefs are increasingly explaining exactly where they get their raw ingredients from, so Amanda is right on the money in bringing this important trend to the Marbella restaurant scene. She tells me: “Everything we serve is indigenous to Málaga province, plus it’s organic and by buying from local farmers and farmers’ markets, we’re supporting the agricultural community that is so important to southern Spain.”

It’s clear that Amanda is passionate about this and I asked her where she gets her supplies, “Our fruits and vegetables are from the Guadalhorce valley, our fish from the fishermens’ ports around the coast, our meat from Cádiz, our eggs and breads are from Coín, our oil from Málaga, our

wines from Ronda and even our craft beer is from La Campana!” Ah yes, the artisan beer from La Catarina – that went down a storm with one of our group on the night we visited. He really enjoyed sampling it!

All Day Long You can eat at km.Ø from breakfast onwards. Although we were there in the evening, let me whet your appetite for a healthy breakfast with a few examples from the ‘desayuno’ menu.

My eyes lit on the French toast with maple syrup and grated chocolate first, then the Eggs Benedict and Florentine, the breads with an assortment of accompaniments including wild salmon with cream cheese.

Vegans have several options including a Chia pudding with seasonal fruits that is both gluten and refined sugar-free. Please note that they do offer gluten-free bread as part of their bread menu. You can have many of these dishes at lunch as well, or simply any time of the day.

Lovely Location Now, let’s cut to the chase. What is the restaurant interior like and how great was the food we ate? First, let me say km.Ø is perfectly located just south of San Pedro’s lovely new boulevard. Find the road that heads straight to the sea from the large roundabout in the centre of the boulevard,

COSTA CUISINE

al a S

and if you’re in any doubt look for the “public art’ in the form of a boat that’s parked in the middle of the road and you’re almost there. It is the first restaurant on what I now refer to as the San Pedro South Strip, but it could also be called “Food Street” because there has been an abundance of new openings, thankfully all diverse and totally different.

ad

The interior is contemporary rustic with pale woods, whites, creams and of course, greens and greenery to create a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to a wide range of people looking for honestly good food.

And good it certainly is.

Raw Sushi

The Main Attraction I have a passion for scallops and just had to have the “grilled duo of scallops over orange daikon, creamed sweet potato, a light garlic sauce and oligarum oil.” That’s olive oil with anchovies, sun dried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Wow! They were exquisitely cooked to perfection and scallops are notoriously tricky. My dining companions made a beeline for the fish and both the Sea Bass and the slow cooked cod loin were deemed to be extremely satisfying. The fish were served on “black wheat”, which is what cooked in squid ink and vegetable julienne. I plumped for the free-range chicken breast filled with plum, dates and almonds served with a Mirin and Coconut sauce, (Mirin is a Japanese vinegar) while another guest raved about the succulent beef stewed in red wine. The meat dishes are served on a bed of peasant potatoes, dried apricots and green asparagus. The meat is of truly excellent quality and my very plump chicken breast was exceptionally moist. It was such a substantial portion that I had to beg one of the guys to help out.

Entreco

te Raw W rap

zza Raw Pi

Still, the portion size didn’t stop one brave soul and self-styled “King of Cheesecakes” from ordering the “Roast banana and dulce de leche cheesecake with chocolate crunch.”

The rest of us were so glad he did! It’s just to die for. And, really it’s good for you, because as Amanda explained to me, it is gluten-free and there’s no refined sugar in it either; she only uses panela or coconut sugar in the desserts. Delicious vegan desserts are also available, such as a “red wine and rum soup with blood orange sorbet and fresh fruit.”

As I looked around the room, I realised that Amanda’s aim of feeding everyone from the ardent carnivore to the devoted vegan, and all ages, was happening right in front of me: at one table there was a young couple on a date, at another a family with children, and so on. The staff are super attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wines they’re serving, which is vital with such a contemporary venture. Book a table now – not only will you enjoy divine food, you’ll also be part of a new movement in dining.

of Fine Wine & Food

The ‘Little Blackbird’ Grape – “Merlot” as it is known in the world of fine wine is the main component of blended red wines from Libourne. Belonging to the right bank of Bordeaux, the area is located on the northern side of the Dordogne River and it is the place to go if you want to know the real Terroir of Merlot. The most famous wines of the right Bank: Petrus in Pomerol and Cheval Blanc in Saint Emilion are shining examples of the epitome of Merlot based wines commonly blended with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

DISH OF THE MONTH

When you are in the mood for a robust traditional dish there’s nothing more satisfying than to try a modern version of one masterpiece of the Lyonnais cuisine, “Veal Liver with Onions”; a glimmering dish, a sweet and rich delight. At D-Wine Restaurant, a fresh piece of Veal Liver cooked to perfection is incomparably delicious, tenderly served with Pomme Duchesse potatoes, sweet and sour caramelised Onions, a Cream Sauce of Red Wine & Pata Negra topped with shaves of Black Truffle.

Veal liver with Black Truffles & Merlot-Based Wines.

The liver melts in your mouth with an explosion of perfectly matched flavours, alongside the predominant fruity red cherry and plummy flavors of Pomerol & Saint Emilion Merlot based wines, so elegant in style with fine, grainy tannins and lovely purity complementing perfectly the texture and essence of the dish. Besides the most famous and expensive aforementioned Chateaux of the region there are dozens of vineyards producing very good and still affordable reds you can rely on and enjoy with this dish at D-Wine.

Tis The Season

To Be ...

n 1843 Charles Dickens virtually invented Christmas as we know it today with the publication of “A Christmas Carol”.

The novella was an instant success, and the “traditional” Christmas dinner was born, although turkeys swiftly superseded the goose as the centrepiece of the festive feast. (Not that a turkey can ever rival the succulence of a well cooked goose.)

As Dickens had it, “There never was such a goose…

Its tenderness and flavour, size and cheapness, were the themes of universal admiration. Eked out by applesauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient dinner for the whole family”. (“Cheapness”?! How times have changed!) But in medieval times, a decorated boar’s head was the prime attraction in the great houses, borne in garlanded splendour on a decorated platter, accompanied by mince pies and the tuneful sound of merry carols. The pies first appeared at the festive board in the 13th century, as crusading knights returned from the Holy Land laden with strange spices.

Nowadays they are normally fairly small, but when Henry VIII ordered one for his Christmas feast it was nine feet long and baked in a rectangle to represent the

126

sheep, fifty four lambs, two boars, nine pigs, five bacon hogs, three goats, seven kids, thirteen bucks, five does and a stag, over the festive period.

It is hardly surprising, therefore, that not so many years later a Swiss visitor to England was able to write home aghast that “belching the table, and in all companies whatsoever, is a thing which the English no more scruple than they do coughing and sneezing. This is full strange to us that come from a country where custom has ordained that belching should be a privilege reserved totally to hogs”. (And this from a man coming from a country where, when John Calvin asked the mayor to stop coughing so loudly in church, received the brusque reply “If you want us to stop coughing we shall belch and fart!”)

Christ child’s manger. It also contained meat, as well as dried fruits and spices.

Four hundred servants prepared that feast, and the king was not alone in enjoying such revelry.

In 1552 Sir William Petre of Ingatestone Hall, with his guests and served by a mere twenty servants (headed by a “Sewer” – known today as a Steward!), managed to consume twenty thousand loaves of bread, a ton of cheese, seventeen oxen, fourteen beef cattle, four cows, twenty nine calves, a hundred and twenty nine

It is said that in 1714, King George I (sometimes known as the Pudding King) requested that plum pudding be served as part of his royal feast in his first Christmas in England. This may be so, but it was not until the 1830s that the “Christmas Pudding” as we know it today made its appearance in Britain. Dickens, (but of course – who else?) immortalised it: “Mrs Cratchit left the room alone – too nervous to bear witnesses – to take the pudding up and bring it in... Hallo!

A great deal of steam! The pudding was out of the copper which smells like a washing-day. That was the cloth.

COSTA CUISINE

A smell like an eating-house and a pastrycook’s next door to each other, with a laundress’s next door to that.

That was the pudding. In half a minute Mrs. Cratchit entered – flushed, but smiling proudly – with the pudding, like a speckled cannon-ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half of half-a-quarter of ignited brandy, and bedight with Christmas holly stuck into the top.”

But although it had to wait until Victorian times to become established as a sine qua non of the Christmas festivities, the pudding’s origins can be traced back to the 1420s, when it developed from the Roman “pottage”, a sloppy mix of meat, vegetables and fruit which was served at the beginning of a meal rather than at the end. By the 1740s this was known as “plum porridge”, until in 1845 Eliza Acton published her definitive recipe for “Christmas Pudding”.

This involved preparations being made on or just after the “Sunday next before Advent”, and as the Anglican collect for that Sunday begins with the words “Stir

up, we beseech thee, O Lord…” this became known as “Stir up Sunday”.

Every member of the household should have a stir, traditionally going from east to west in memory of the journey of the Magi in that direction.

The Christmas season, of course, lasts twelve days, ending on Twelfth Night, the feast of the Three Kings.

This should be celebrated with “cakes and ale”; the “wassail bowl” being made with ale and roasted apples spiced with ginger, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon, drunk with spiced cakes. On Twelfth Night the “King and Queen of the Bean” was traditionally elected. A cake containing a dried pea and a bean was baked, cut up, and portioned out. The happy male recipient of the portion containing the bean and the lady receiving the pea was then crowned, and ruled over the subsequent festivities.

Here in Spain this festival tends to take precedence over Christmas, with children receiving their presents on

this day, and the “Fiesta de los Tres Reyes” sees considerable feasting and dancing. But having said that, at the beginning of the festive season ,”Nochebuena” (Christmas Eve) is also celebrated with a family feast, eaten late in the evening and lasting a couple of hours. It may have several courses, starting with some simple tapas or appetizers, followed by a nice soup, a main course, perhaps of roast lamb or turkey, and ending with dessert and coffee or after-dinner drinks, with turron, polvorones, or mantecados.

It is also a time to celebrate in bars and cafes. Next door in Portugal the festivities tend to be rather less gastronomically inspired. The Christmas Eve meal is likely to consist of boiled salted cod, boiled cabbage, boiled potatoes, boiled onions, boiled eggs, and boiled chickpeas. To add variety, copious amounts of olive oil are poured over this delectable repast!

Pass the port!

INGREDIENTS

METHOD

2 big Sweet potatoes or 2 big Carrots

Preheat your oven to 180 C.

2-3 Beetroots (pre boiled very soft save some boiling liquid for blending)

Put pre boiled veg with the rest of the ingredients into a blender and mix together well. If you have trouble blending, add some of the veggie liquid to get a thick smooth cake batter.

12 Dates (pre soaked) 1 tsp of Baking powder 1 cup (120 grams) of Buckwheat flour 1/2 cup (60 grams) of Almond flour 4-5 tbs of Cacao powder 1/2 cup (120 grams) of Agave Vanilla pod Pinch of salt

When the cake is read allow to cool.

Top off with chocolate mousse and fruit or enjoy exactly as it is!

DR KAI KAYE

HEADS TO

KENYA Dr. Kai Kaye, Head Surgeon at Ocean Clinic Marbella and his team of seven doctors and nurses will travel to Kenya next March to perform life changing reconstructive surgery on children and adults.

Organised in collaboration with the Pablo Horstmann Foundation Spain, the nine-day charitable mission is designed to help the poorest families in Lamu, an archipelago located in the northeastern coast of Kenya.

The team will operate on patients with disfigurements such as cleft lips, cleft palates, tumours, burns, scars and other deformities. The initiative is not without its challenges, however – due to lack of facilities, the surgical team will have to supply and transport all necessary equipment. In total 400 kilos of material.

Companies and individuals are invited to support the mission by helping to purchase the materials needed and ensure the team can operate on as many patients as possible.

156

The trip to Kenya follows a similar mission to Peru that Dr. Kaye and his colleagues undertook in 2013. The team were able to help nearly 60 patients in just nine days, including many children, all of whom have made wonderful transformations.

To support the Kenyan mission, which takes place from 18-27 March 2016, please contact Ocean Clinic on 951 775 518 or: email info@oceanclinic.net

WEALTH MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Optimising your EUROPEAN LIFESTYLE

W

e’ve talked about some of the advantages of using the services of Tourbillon Ltd to optimise your European lifestyle in respect of tax planning. Now we’d like to look at a very specific asset that Spanish law offers. This effectively ties in with the Tourbillon Limited family office in Spain which was set up to cater to high net worth individuals, and can benefit families who are considering relocating to Spain as an efficient tax jurisdiction. The asset in question is the “Beckham Law,” which is a Spanish tax decree of 2005, more correctly called Royal Decree 687/2005. What this law offers is this: individuals or families who meet certain prescribed criteria are able to benefit from a special status regime which caps their annual tax liability at a fixed level for up to 5 years on any income they earn in Spain.

THE BECKHAM LAW IN SPAIN Individuals or families wishing to enjoy a Mediterranean lifestyle might wish to stay full time in Spain or combine this with a Gibraltar presence. The fiscal advantages offered by the so-called “Beckham Law”, permit an individual and their family to enjoy all the above benefits coupled with residence in sunny Spain. Named after one of the first foreign nationals to benefit from the tax status, Spain’s “Beckham Law” may provide an ideal solution for foreign workers and professionals looking to relocate to Spain. Gibraltar is also on your doorstep with all that it provides to expatriates and the main Tourbillon Limited office.

* No tax on remittances to Spain in of income/gains from other countries

* No obligation to file From 720 in relation to foreign assets

* Certain qualifying conditions apply for

eligibility under the Beckham regime (including not having been resident in Spain in any of the 10 years preceding the date of arrival), upon which we will be pleased to provide advice on a case basis.

CONCLUSION The best solution for each client will be different depending on individual circumstances. Bespoke arrangements will be set up for each client after having considered all the facts. We would recommend seeking independent tax advice relevant to your situation.

For more information on the opportunities/seminars afforded by Tourbillon Limited; please contact us using the details below Private Client Direct Line: T +350 200 66660 or email info@tourbillon-limited.com Tourbillon Limited - Trinity House, Ocean Village Avenue, Gibraltar

WHY IS THIS REGIME ATTRACTIVE? Tax residents of Spain are normally liable to Spanish tax on a worldwide basis at progressive rates of (currently) up to 52%. Under this regime, an individual may benefit from the following tax treatment for the year in which they acquire Spanish residence and the following 5 tax (calendar) years:

* Income Tax at 24.75% on Spanish

source income such as earning and property income

* Income Tax 21% on Spanish-source

interest and dividend income only.

* No Spanish income tax on nonSpanish source income

* Capital Gains Tax (CGT) at 21% on the disposal of Spanish/sited assets only (i.e. no CGT on non-Spanish assets)
