FOREST FIRE:
More concern over south hospital
SUMMER WARNING AFTER MAJOR SCARE H
EALTH campaigners are furious that it could be another two and a half years before the new south hospital becomes fully opera-
tional.
Details have just been published of the contract to construct the operating rooms and obstretics and bids will soon be invited. The closing date for information is June 23rd and once the work is allocated, the building time is put at 30 months from the signing of the agreement, whenever that might be. It means the full hospital complex will not become a reality until at least January of 2018, if nothing else intervenes in the meantime. The budget

It was the second fire this summer in the Vilaflor mountains and has led to renewed warnings from the authority for people to take very special care when out and about in the countryside. They must always take heed of any bans, such as on smoking and lighting fires or burning stubble during the hot months. One discarded cigarette could spell disaster.

OLICE have broken up a gang which carried out a string of burglaries and robberies in the north of Tenerife.
HIS is the devastation left after a forest fire broke out in the beautiful mountain area of Vilafor but it could have been much, much worse. Thanks to the rapid response of the emergency services and some elements of good fortune, the blaze was prevented from spreading further than it did. However, it still took 24 hours of hard and dangerous work. It broke out alongside a track near the source of the Fuente FrĂa and the recreational area of Las Lajas, next to the access road to the Teide National Park. Indications suggest it was started intentionally. Ironically, this area had suffered a fire before and it was down to the comparative lack of vegetation that the flames could not take a greater hold. The weather was also on the side of the fire-

people and 12 vehicles from the Tenerife Fire Consortium. The personnel came from San Miguel de Abona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and volunteers from the municipalities of Granadilla, Guia de Isora and Adeje. The last major forest fire in Tenerife came just under three years ago and allegedly started by negligence in the Ifonche area, seriously affected the pine Vilaflor, Adeje
and GuĂa de Isora, destroying historic pines.
Eight people were arrested on suspicion of stealing agricultural items from fincas in and around Santa Ursula, El Sauzal, Tacoronte and La Laguna but also bars. The teams were split in two and would always use one member to act as a look-out. Officers seized gloves, masks and crowbars, as well as bolt cutters. At least 15 robberies were carried out, with tools, televisions, stereos, kitchen equipment, money, cigarettes and jewellery being the main targets. The items were sold on to second-hand shops. Police say the value of items stolen and damaged caused amounts to more than 40,000 euros.

Canary economy “growing faster than Spain and the EU”
T
HE Canary economy appears to be on the up and is growing faster than Spain and other countries in the European Union.

Tourist, 65, dies after rock fall
M
EDICS tried in vain to save the life of a 65-yearold British woman who died after falling off rocks in the San Blas area.
The tragedy happened on June 11th in the coastal area of Golf del Sur at about 9pm. The 1-1-2 emergency services reported that the woman, said to have been on holiday, was out walking when she may have stumbled and fell about 12 metres. The location was a place difficult to access and firefighters were called in to help. The woman suffered multiple injuries and ambulance technicians were unable to save her. The police, Civil Guard and Canary Urgency Service were also involved in the emergency.
1.4 per cent. Minister for the economy, Javier González Ortiz welcomed the news and “the continued advancement of the islands’ economy ”, especially as it was higher than Spain. He said this would result in the creation of new jobs as had been shown in recent months. He also pointed out that the growth reflected the trend seen since the end of the third
quarter of 2013 which was the last time there was a drop (minus 0.5 per cent) in the gross domestic product. All industries showed a positive increase, with the exception of the primar y sector which was down five per cent. The increases were led by the construction sector which was up 3.5 per cent, followed by services up 3.2 per cent and industry 2.8 per cent.

This site has a simple system and allows the user to obtain information through a large touch screen that offers a menu from which you can access different information content. From this virtual showroom you can find useful information and data on transport, telephone numbers, monuments, tourist services, accommodation and a possible virtual tour. Tourism councillor, Oscar Delgado said it was appropriate to use the Franciscan convent as the venue because it was of BIC cultural interest.

The world sees famous Canary group furious sand carpets about “changes” to COURT WARNING
CORPUS CHRISTI
T
HE Canary organisation fighting for the right for everyone to be able to rent their properties as a holiday home say they will take their case to court following new fury.
The Canary Association of Vacation Rental (Ascav) has warned it will complain to the National Commission for Competition (CNC) and to to a tribunal because it is not happy with the Government. Changes have recently been made to the rental laws but president of Ascav, Doris Borrego says this has made the situation worse, not better. The group is furious with the government for not including homes within tourist areas in its amendments. They say people who own such properties are still not able to rent them out as tourist accommodation which they feel is totally wrong. There has only been approval for homes which lie outside the tourist areas to rent out for vacations provided various criteria is met and the right permissions gained. The amendments are due to be ratified on June 25th. The rental association says the government left out homes in tourist areas at the last moment when
discussing amendments. This meant 90 per cent of such houses would be deemed illegal if rented out for holidays. The group also claims that 19 new inspectors have been hired to investigate cases and impose fines which could range between 30,000 euros and 300,000 euros. The aim of the platform is that all homes that are residential, whether or not in tourist ground, can engage in holiday rentals. However, deputy tourist minister Ricardo Fernández de la Puente says it is not true that there are 19 new inspectors and the modifications to the law were being implemented to ensure ever ything was complied with. He said the government had done nothing wrong and was simply following the guidelines. He has met with representatives of the tourist boards of the seven islands about tourism in general. The association has a website on http://www.ascav.es/ where it explains its aims.

UNDREDS of thousands of people in all parts of the world have been able to admire the wonderful sand carpets in La Orotava, thanks to new technology.
Those who weren’t able to go along in person could see everything happening on webcam. The famous “carpets” are made from coloured sand from Mount Teide and resemble masterpieces. This year, the theme was the family. Thousands of people flocked in to the main plaza to enjoy the celebrations which culmimated on Corpus Christi day. The central carpet had been hidden for several days under a huge awning but was then revealed in all its glory and was much praised by everyone who saw it. There were smaller carpets elsewhere around the town, together with other designs made by resident from flowers. The idea of the webcam was to bring the traditions to as many people as possible around the world to help them live the tradition. The webcam was installed by Canarias Live 24. La Orotava was not alone in creating the sand carpets as there were similar, if smaller, displays around Tenerife.

BIOSPHERE RESERVE
Pride as Anaga Massif, a jewel of Tenerife, wins UNESCO special status
O
NE of the most beautiful jewels in Tenerife’s crown has been afforded special status to help preserve it for future generations and to let people know how very special it is.
UNESCO has awarded the Anaga Massif the title of “Biosphere Reserve” and all who fought for this achievement are delighted. The honour was bestowed by the International Coordinating Council of UNESCO’s MaB programme during a ceremony in Paris. The proposal was championed by president of Tenerife Cabildo, Carlos Alonso who highlighted the values of this unique area in the north-east of the island which covers 49,000 hectares, of which 33,000 hectares relates to the marine environment. Also attending were the president of the Scientific Council of the MaB programme, Marisa Tejedor and La Laguna councillor, Miguel Ángel González. Sr. Alonso said the designation was a commitment to keeping history alive whilst also looking to the future because new generations could not turn their back on the land. “With the declaration of Biosphere Reserve, we will ensure that future begins today,
with opportunities in rural areas and viable alternatives and prospects for improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of this continent in miniature. This title will give us new blood, new ideas according to the commitment implied by this statement, “ he pledged. He continued: “Anaga Massif is a place of unparalleled beauty. An island within the island which is Tenerife, able to awaken our imagination and move us to the past, ancient times where the man and the earth were nearly one being.” It was, he said, a jewel where its residents knew they had to care for it and maintain as an example of sustainable development. “It is one of the most special places of Tenerife that combines natural beauty, land and sea, with agricultural and livestock,” he said during his speech. The territory of the Biosphere Reserve is located in the north eastern tip of Tenerife, located in the municipalities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, La
Laguna and Tegueste, along with the coastal strip up to 1,000 meters deep around them. The declaration of Biosphere Reserve advocates, among other things, the development of traditional human activities in a context of environmental balance, which should endeavour to maintain crops with local varieties and promoting indigenous breeds and their handling in accordance with cultural practices, as well as
being respectful of industrial activities in the environment. All parties were consulted over the designation, including local people who will play a large part from now on. Until this ceremony, there were 631 biosphere reserves spread over 119 countries, 45 of which are in Spain, including six which are located in the Canary Islands, to which must be added the title obtained by the Anaga Mountains.

RAISING STANDARDS
EXPANSION PLANS
City looks to Sundays in Santa Cruz proving even more popular perfection in T gastronomy HE “Ven a Santa Cruz” initiatives organised on the first Sunday of each month are proving such a success that they are to be expanded even more.
A
major project is being planned in Santa Cruz to raise the quality of the gastronomic sector.
It is being led by the Society for Development and has already involved a meeting with representatives of the leading hotels, chefs, Ashotel and managers. One of the initiatives will be to improve training in order to improve the quality of service and competitiveness whilst also securing and creating jobs. Chief executive officer,
Florentino Guzmán Plasencia said the restoration of the gastronomic sector was very important in a city where the number of visitors was increasing year after year. Waiters and waitresses should play a key role, he added, and training would be organised through the University of La Laguna and personnel from the Development Society.
The June event recorded a new success with 57 per cent of the shops and restaurants opening especially for the occasion. For commerce, the percentage was 54 per cent and 75.8 per cent for the catering trade. These figures were two per cent up on May for both sectors. The Mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez said such initiatives were very important for the small to medium-sized companies and in general for the economic life of Santa Cruz. “There is a before and after in the revitalisation of our capital, with activities such as Sunday openings, which will be strengthened in the coming months,” he said. He also pledged that the activities would be expanded to other parts of the city in co-operation with business organisations and neighbourhood groups. Chief executive of the Development Society, Florentino Guzmán Plasencia said the good weather had helped with the success of the latest Come to Santa Cruz but both the public and businesses had responded in an outstanding manner. The event included a tapas route with a Doradita beer and dish for 2.20 euros and there were musical performances, exhibitio of artisans and a vintage market. He revealed that plans were already being made for the July event.
Tourism awards for Patea Tus Montes and crib group
OROTAVA HONOURS
L
A Orotava has been honouring local people, companies and organisations which have contributed to the tourism appeal of the municipality.
Each year, the local council hands out awards and on this occasion, the recipients were the Asociación Belenista Taoro and José María Pérez Baso, head of the tourism adventure company Patea Tus Montes. The award, presented by the Centre of Tourist Initiatives, was instigated eight years ago to honour individuals and institutions for outstanding work in the development and knowledge of La Orotava and all it has to offer. Patea Tus Montes, Hiking and Adventure. S.L.U. is an activity company which introduces people to the adventures they can have in the natural beauty of the Canary Islands. It has more than 20 years of experience and is always involved in new ventures and ideas and has won numerous other awards. The Asociación Belenista Taoro was formed seven years ago and has about 60 members. Over the years, they have worked to rescue, develop and transmit the tradition of making a nativity scene for Christmas. To contribute to this end, there have been a number of activities such as workshops, exhibitions, talks and the famous Crib Route. This route has been visited by thousands of people each year adding new visitors from all parts of the island.

ANTIAGO del Teide council is delighted that the municipality recorded a slight increase in occupancy rates during May.
The figure for hotel and non-hotel accommodation reached 64 per cent, which is two per cent more than May of 2014. In Playa de La Arena, the percentage was a much higher 80 per cent, whilst in Los Gigantes it was 57 per cent and 54 per cent in Puerto de Santiago.
M
ORE than 15,000 people, 26 floats and over a dozen groups gathered for the 39th edition of the romeria in honour of San Antonio de Padua. This largest event of its kind in the south of Tenerife attracted people from all over the island and was greeted by scorching sunshine. Donations of food will go to needy families in the municipality. It took three hours for the
procession to go around the centre and its route of more than two kilometres. This was followed by dancing to a live orchestra and a huge craft fair and all sorts of traditional Canary produce such as mojo sauces, honey and cheeses.

WO timely interventions have shown the worth of defibrillators in emergency ambulances.
The Canary Urgency Service (SUC) had cause to use the machines twice in quick succession in two unconnected cases. Both were in Tenerife and involved men aged between 40 and 50 suffering heart failure. One of the incidents happened in a nightclub in La Laguna when a 49-year-old man needed urgent help. He was revived and taken to hospital. The second incident was in Tacoronte when a 40-year-old man collapsed whilst at work. Again, his life was almost certainly saved by the defibrillator and heart massage.

Police said the gang smuggled the drugs in from Venezuela. Once safely through customs, the carriers would stay in hotels, usually in the south of the island, until all the
capsules were expelled form their system. The head of the organisation was described as an expert who could transform the cocaine from its liquid state into solid whilst still maintaining its high purity. Other members of the network would then be responsible for distributing it to other parts of the island. Nineteen arrests have been made in San Isidro, La Laguna,

HALE watching is a fantastic experience but could you tell a rough-toothed dolphin from a short-beaked one?
Do you know that of the 80 different species of cetaceans found around the world, 27 can be seen in the Canary Islands? Do you realise the dangers they can face from pollution, discarded rubbish, marine traffic and noise from ships? Arona Council is just one of the many authorities and organisations intent on educating the public about whales and dolphins in an area where thousands of tourists want to spot them every week. Their specialist guide “Arona, a home for cetaceans” is published in Spanish, German and English and provides fascinating information, as well as helpful advice. The first edition saw 6,000 copies and it is now hoped to increase that print run. They are available for residents and visitors in the main tourist points of the municipality, plus offices and businesses associated with the attraction. It is in a fold-out format but can also be read online on the council’s website of www.arona.org There are some wonderful pictures and illustrations and there has been collaboration from Bart Bogaert, Guillermo Vázquez, Jesús Estrada and Chloe Yzoard.

T
HE president of the Canary Government, Paulino Rivero has called on the European Commission to create a reserve fund of 6.3 million euros for the archipelago. He says the islands should not be discriminated against because of their location and it would be impossible for them to compete against other countries in terms of individual bids. Sr. Rivero has asked the EC president, Jean-Claude Juncker to work out the allocation for the Canaries on a formula proportional to its population in relation to the whole of the Union. The Investment Plan of the
European Union, becoming known as the Juncker Plan, has around 315,000 million euros to distribute globally, mainly to help with job creation, combating poverty and promoting equal opportunities. Sr. Rivero said a 6.3 million reserve fund for the Canaries would show solidarity for the islands and areas in the most remote parts of the Union. The Canary president said
they in turn could contribute much to the EU, specifically related to renewable energy, transport, policies related to
the management of water resources or programmes of co-operation with neighbouring countries.
CHALLENGE OPENS
Your chance to take part in iconic “El Rio” swim
T
HE Flight Development Fund run by the Canary Government has led to two new Vueling routes to Rome.
Tourism chiefs were in the Italian capital recently to promote the new service to Fuimicino airport from Gran Canaria. Those present included Canary president, Paulino Rivero and Spain’s ambassador in Italy, Francisco Javier Elorza among others, plus around 70 travel agents and journalists. The Rome/Gran Canaria route started in April thanks to a subsidy of 127 ,235 euros for two years. The new route, which could potentially transport 9,360 passengers, features a weekly flight, specifically on Saturdays, although Vueling could add further details in due course depending on demand. In November, Vueling also introduces a route from Lanzarote to Fuimicino, with a similar subsidy. It will also operate once a week. The initiatives represent an enormous boost for both islands as they aim to capture a bigger slice of the Italian market.

ANCY a swim in the Canary Islands? Then make a note of October 3rd in your diary if you want to challenge yourself to something a little bit different. This is the date for the 23rd Travesía a Nado ‘El Río’ which is one of the most popular swimming events in the archipelago. However, you are advised to book up as early as possible as places are limited for safety
reasons to 700 in total (650 adults, 50 for children over the age of 14). The iconic swim takes place from the beaches of Lanzarote over to the picturesque island of La Graciosa and there is a time
limit of one hour. It is a direct straight line swim of nearly 2,600 metres. The starting point in Lanzarote is the Playa de Bajo Risco, with the aim of reaching the marina area of Caleta de Sebo on La Graciosa. Lanzarote Cabildo opened subscriptions on June 2nd and technically, the closing date is September 4th. However, this is likely to be much earlier
because of the event’s popularity. “El Río” is the largest marine reserve in Spain and is usually held in September but on this occasion, moves to October because of the tides. When first held in 1993, there were just 50 swimmers. Interested parties can find out more on www.lanzarotedeportes.com where registrations can also be made.

INCREDIBLE PROJECT
LANZAROTE RAIDS
Creator of Lanzarote’s underwater Women forced Atlantic Museum to star in London into prostitution with “yuyu vudu” rites
W
OMEN captured in Nigeria were forced into prostitution in Lanzarote and Palma de Mallorca and had to swear oaths under “yuyu vudu”, police have revealed.
A
N artist who is creating an incredible underwater world in Lanzarote is involved in another major project in London.
Pioneering Jason DeCaires Taylor is already hard at work in his studio on the island, making real-life sculptures of people and groups which will be permanently fixed under the ocean bed for the enjoyment of divers. He has already won numerous awards for similar projects in Granada and Cancún and they have to be seen to be believed. The results are stunning. Jason is now making another statue that will be installed in London in Sep-
tember as part of the “Totally Thames Festival”. He will be duplicating this work and it will join the rest of the sculptures in the Atlantic Museum of Lanzarote. This amazing artist has become known worldwide and his underwater sculpture park in Lanzarote will help to draw in many thousands of people to the island. His London statue will be placed along the banks of the Thames opposite the Houses of Parliament and the Tate Museum. It will be permanent but other pieces due to go
under the ocean in Lanzarote will also on temporar y display. The Totally Thames Festival will be held between September 1st and September 30th and is an initiative that aims to promote and stimulate cultural and artistic life of the British capital along the 42-mile long river. In 2014, it received 2.7 million visitors at 170 events. It is sponsored by the Mayor of London, London First, the Arts Council of England and the London Port Authority (more information is available on http://totallythames.org.) Cabildo president, Pedro San Ginés said everything
Jason DeCaires Taylor was involved in would highlight Lanzarote’s appeal as a tourist destination offering something different. He was thrilled he had chosen the island on which to live and work and his Atlantic Museum constituted the largest project of the century in Lanzarote. His work is being covered in scientific, artistic and general publications on five continents. The Atlantic Museum Lanzarote is to be installed on the seabed next to Coloradas, in the south of the island. The work is expected to be completed within two years.
The women had to go through rituals and a ceremony which included the sacrifice of animals and cutting off pieces of their nails and pubic hair. They had to pledge to pay back a so-called debt of up to 50,000 euros to the gang and to do so through prostitution. Police said the women were threatened with death or harm to their families if they disagreed. As part of their investigations, officers have so far arrested six members of the network and released four women. The victims were specifically earmarked in their native countries because they came from families in dire need.
They were tempted by false offers of work and better living conditions and were smuggled over to Spain from Niger and Argelia by land to the coast of Morocco and from here on to Lanzarote and Palma de Mallorca by sea. Often, they would be minors. Police said each member of the gang had a special task, such as being a driver or keeping watch over the women. Three properties were raided, two in Arrecife (Lanzarote) and another in Palma de Mallorca, where agents seized numerous documents relating to the sexual exploitation of the victims and articles intended for the ceremonies of ‘juju voodoo’.
ILLEGAL SOUVENIRS
Leave our rocks alone, appeals Lanzarote!
I
T may seem rather unbelievable but this amazing fact is very true and also potentially, very harmful to the environment.
On average, each week, visitors to Lanzarote are plundering 500 kilograms of volcanic rock to take home as a souvenir. And this is just the amount found by the police in cars rented by tourists! Now, Lanzarote Cabildo has teamed up with the island’s airport to launch a campaign asking people not to do this and to respect the landscape and its future. Councillor for the environment, Francisco Fabelo took part in a symbolic ceremony with airport direc-
tor, Manuel Vinagre, showing one of the many rocks confiscated. Each day, these “souvenirs” are taken back from tourists before they fly home and put into a container which collects the equivalent of 120 litres each 24 hours! Awareness posters are displayed around the airport and on the island. Taking a piece of volcanic rock could actually be constituted as an environmental crime and of course damages the island’s beautiful landscape so the message is, don’t be tempted!

“PERSEVERE” MESSAGE
MASS ARRESTS
Drug and people trafficking gang Rajoy pledges work for 20 million had assets worth 7m euros
P
OLICE have arrested 33 people, Spanish, Moroccan, Belgian and Colombian, for running a massive people and drug trafficking opera-
tion.
The gang was so carefully organised that it had “cells” all over Spain which acted separately so no connection could be proved if one of
them was raided. The drugs were bought from the proceeds of human trafficking. Moroccans were brought over to Spain and
then held in a safe house until they or relatives paid up a fee. In all, 33 people were arrested and a number of houses were searched, revealing 3,800 kilos of hashish, three boats, vehicles, 46,000 euros in cash, vacuum packaging used for drugs and a firearm. Despite the group’s efforts to hide its fragmented cells, police received inside information in January about the network. The drugs were brought in from Africa by boat and once in Spanish ports, the haul was kept in a number of warehouses before being distributed and sold around Spain and elsewhere in
Europe. The various properties searched were in Malaga and Cadiz and police estimate the total value of the effects amounted to more than seven million euros. Police said the Morocans who were smuggled into Spain were often hidden in the false compartments of cars or lorries and risked their lives because of the cramped conditions and lack of air. One Moroccan was physically released by the police from a confined space and was in a near-collapse condition. They believe at least a dozen people were trafficked in this way.

RUG traffickers are continuing to use all kinds of ways to try and smuggle their caches in and out of Spain.
Hot on the heels of officers discovering a huge amount of cocaine hidden inside scooped-out pineapples, another haul has been found inside cans of fruit drinks. This latest consignment was intercepted at Madrid-Barajas airport and ten people
have been arrested, two in Seville and eight in Malaga. Twenty kilos of high purity cocaine was seized, together with two litres of acetone and two litres of solvent. The liquid drug was contained in plastic bags hidden within the 240ml cans of fruit drink. Two companies are imputed, one of them the exporter of the product from Ecuador and the other from Cordoba. The operation was jointly developed by the National Police and the Tax Office who found 81 bags of liquid cocaine in total. They had been tipped off in December 2014 about an international organisation, composed of individuals of various nationalities. The batch of 1,500 cans of fruit drink was intercepted at the airport and 81 of them contained cocaine amounting to 20 kilos and of a purity more than 90 per cent.
people by 2019
The Spanish Government is aiming to have 20 million people in work by 2019
P
RIME Minister, Mariano Rajoy said only then would it be possible to speak about a “full recovery” from six and a half years of job destruction.
He believes that encouraging figures for May are very positive. In May, 117,985 people found jobs and 213,015 people registered with the Social Security system. Sr. Rajoy said jobs had been created for the last 22 months. Since February 2013, the Social Security system has recovered more than a million members and so far this year indefinite employment contracts have increased by 15 per cent. The Prime Minister said the 20 million people in work by 2019 could be achieved if “we persevere” and if structural reforms and fiscal consolidation efforts remain in place. ”This is not a question of the government, a regional government or local council. It is something that is an achievement of Spanish society as a whole; of the workers, the companies, whether large, medium-
sized or small; of the selfemployed; and, of course, of the correct economic policy,” he said. He said the goal was for economic recovery to be felt in “all the homes in our country, particularly those homes to which the crisis has brought so much suffering.” He also stressed the importance of the self-employed and the jobs they had created. Mariano Rajoy also listed some of the measures approved by the Government to promote self-employment and the establishment of companies in the social economy, such as the flat-rate contributions to Social Security and the secondchance mechanism. He highlighted the Supplier Payment Plan, because it has “justly” saved many people who had not been paid by the public administrations.

SUBSIDIES VITAL
CENTRE’S WARNING
Spain backs Shocking picture of drug use organic farming among young people in Spain but wants quality A controls ROUND 2.3 million young Spaniards aged between 15 and 34 took cocaine in the last year, a new survey has revealed.
The figure means Spain is one of the leaders in the EU for cocaine and cannabis use among young people, together with the UK and France. Cocaine remains the most commonly used drug in Spain, with a percentage of 3.3 per cent use by the 15 to 34 year age group in the last twelve months. The ranking is headed by the UK at 4.2 per cent. Although shocking, both Spain and the UK have seen a decline in use since the peak of 2008.
S
PAIN is looking to encourage more organic farming but wants to guarantee top quality for consumers.
Minister for Agriculture, Food and Environmental Affairs, Isabel García Tejerina says drawing up comprehensive regulations on organic farming is a priority. This would enable a correct response to be given to the needs of consumers and support to be provided to developing an activity that is becoming increasingly common in the European Union. The Minister recently attended the Informal Council of EU Agriculture and Fisheries Ministers in Riga (Latvia), where discussions took place on the sustainability and growth of organic farming as a preliminary step towards reaching an agreement on the regulations for this type of farming. In her speech, Isabel García Tejerina said Spain had the largest area given over to organic farming in the European Union, at over 1.5 million hectares. She also
stressed that Spain is especially strict in terms of demands and controls on unauthorised substances. In this regard, the Spanish minister expressed the need to convey a message that guarantees legal certainty to producers and consumers. With this in mind, she added, Spain is willing to continue working constructively to try and reach an agreement at the Council meeting due to be held in June. The Spanish minister also said that the existence of a common European logo and the implementation of promotion campaigns have helped encourage consumers to discover the qualities of these products and identify them easily. She also advocated maintaining the subsidies to help encourage organic farming throughout Europe and therefore lower dependency on imports.
Cocaine consumption in Ireland is 2.8 per cent and in Denmark, it is 2.4 per cent. Greece is the country with less use of this drug at 0.2 per cent. Although Spain remains the country that more cocaine is seized (26.7 tons), there are signs of a steady diversification of trafficking routes to places like the Mediterranean East, the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, according to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs. As regards cannabis, this is the most commonly used illicit
drug in all age groups. An estimated 14.5 million young Europeans (11.7 per cent of total) tried it in the last year. In Spain, this percentage rises to 17 per cent, surpassed only by France (22.1 per cent), Czech Republic (21.6 per cent) and Denmark (17.6 per cent). Also in this case, population surveys in Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom show a reduction or stable prevalence of cannabis in the last decade. By contrast, an increased prevalence in Bulgaria, France and the three Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland and Sweden is observed, said the report. The lower
consumption of cannabis is also detected in Greece (3.2 per cent). Spain is below the EU average in the number of druginduced deaths, with 383 cases among young people per million inhabitants, compared with 5,804 deaths cases in Europe. As regards HIV diagnoses among drug users, Spain recorded 145 cases among young people per million inhabitants, below the EU average (1,446). The centre has warned that new drugs are coming on to the market at the rate of two a week and the internet is being used more and more to source them.
Illegal casino raided in Madrid
HAND-PICKED GUESTS
A
N illegal casino in Madrid masked its activities by pretending to be a poker school and mental health association.
Sessions were held every day, with high cash gains, and there was strict entry control to allow only invited guests. They had to receive invitations in advance and were then greeted at the front doors by a minder who took them through two security airlock systems. All accesses were also guaded by 24-hour CCTV. There were two playing rooms, one for general guests, the other for VIPs. Police raided the premises after receiving a tip-off about illegal gambling. They found a game in progress known as a “deep stack” which required a 50 euro registration fee per person. There were about 100 people in the room, many of them hand-picked by spotters.
VARIOUS NICKNAMES
Prolific video pirate arrested in Spain
O
NE of the best known and most active video “pirates” in Spain has been arrested and is believed to have cost the film industry losses of seven million euros. The man was caught in the act, using a server based outside Spain, and his home was searched. This revealed various doucuments showing evidence of income from at least three web host servers or ciberlockers as compensation for their illegal activity. So far, officers have proven benefits of at least 7,000 euros from one of these cyberlockers. The arrested man used a variety of nicknames to achieve anonymity but he was well-known in Spain because of the large number of works he shared, as well as their quality. The investigation began when a representative of the Spanish film industr y filed a complaint reporting downloads of series and newly released movies through the network.

Spain spends more on tobacco, alcohol and gambling
D
ESPITE the economic difficulties faced by many people in Spain last year, expenditure on cigarettes still increased, a new report
shows.
The average spend on tobacco per person rose by 37 per cent to 282.39 euros, says the EAE Business School which looked into spending on cigarettes, alcohol and gambling. According to the report, consumption of cigarettes rose to 2,481 per year which is 124 packs per person or 6.8 cigarettes a day. The figures put Spain at number two in the Top Five global consumers of cigarettes along with Greece, Bulgaria, Poland and the Czech Republic. By region, Extremadura, Madrid and Cantabria are the biggest spenders on tobacco in Spain, with figures of 218 euros, 201 euros and 188 euros per person, respectively, while the Canary Islands, Navarra and Catalonia are at the bottom of the table with 90.61 euros , 116.81 euros and 126.72 euros respectively. The study shows the biggest increases in consumption of tobacco are Extremadura, Cantabria and the Basque Country, with growth of 7.02 per cent, 6.59 per cent and 5.33 per cent respectively,
while consumption has gone down in Murcia, Andalusia and the Balearic Islands, where the average expenditure per capita has fallen by 2.91 per cent, 2.64 per cent and 1.77 per cent, respectively. For alcohol, the report concludes that consumption in Spain in the last year was 686 euros per person, up 0.29 per cent. This puts the countr y mid-way in the global table. The Basques, Catalans and Murcia are the biggest spenders on alcoholic beverages, with consumption per person of 82 euros, 77 euros and 73 euros per year respectively, while those who drink less in Spain are in the Canaries, Extremadura and Cantabria with alcohol con-sumption per person of 45 euros, 50 euros and 51 euros respectively. Gambling spending is also on the increase, with an average spend of 77 euros per person per year in Spain, representing a growth of eleven per cent since 2007. In the Canaries, the spend is just 38 euros.
RAISING AWARENESS
Google to help police over prostitution rings
T
HE Interior Ministry has reached an agreement with Google whereby, if the search engine detects that a user is looking for sexual services on the Internet, it sends a message to the Spanish Police.
Using the services of a prostitute is not illegal in Spain, but officials remind those who do that they may be collaborating with criminal people trafficking networks. “We want to raise awareness among citizens, particularly the younger ones, that when they use certain services of prostitutes they have to be careful not to favour sexual exploitation networks,” said the CEO of Police, Ignacio Cosidó in a conference organised by the body in collaboration with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The police campaign has a free phone number where citizens can report concerns on 900 10 50 90.
Elaborate scam to sit false driving tests with bogus applicants
EAR-PIECE ADVICE
P
OLICE have uncovered an elaborate plot on the Spanish mainland which enabled foreigners who did not speak the language to pass their driving tests. The gang used all sorts of methods, including impersonating the person who was supposed to be taking the practical driving test to giving instructions and answers to those siting the theor y
through hidden microphones. The service was offered to people through Chinese shops in Murcia which displayed posters advertising “good news!” and the services of “friends” who would help them
pass their tests within a week. Fifteen people have been arrested for their involvement in the widespread scam which charged people up to 2,000 euros to get their licences. The network used false documents and people who looked very similar to the driving test applicant. One of the people using the
service was intercepted by police as he listened to instructions over a hidden earpiece. In this case, he was a Pakistani. Many of the others using the service were from China. The 15 people arrested include one woman and 14 men aged between 25 and 56 and coming from various African countries, India and China.
Spain’s bid for new-look cities gets EU funding
PROPOSALS SOUGHT
T
HE EU will allocate 1.5 billion euros of ERDF funds to Spain over the next six years for the improvement of Spanish cities.
Minister for Public Works, Ana Pastor, defended a new sustainable, inclusive and environmentally-friendly city model at the meeting of EU Urban Development Ministers held in Riga (Latvia). “In Europe, we are committed to a different kind of urban development - more human, economi-
cally and environmentally sustainable and inclusive - as shown by the results of our efforts in Spain”, said Ana Pastor to her colleagues from the European Union. She also highlighted other fundamental issues, such as recognising the role and importance of all towns and cities regardless of their size; energy efficiency and climate
change; the regeneration of districts and redevelopment; all sorts of demographic challenges; mobility and the need to reduce distances; and urban poverty and affordable housing. In this regard, she recalled that 70 per cent of the population in Spain lives in major cities although small municipalities are also highly important as they account for 86.8 per cent of all Spanish municipalities and almost 80 per cent of the countr y’s
surface area, thereby highlighting their importance from a territorial perspective. “The cities we have inherited and built are our own heritage, the result of our history and our culture, and they are there to be enjoyed by the people of Spain and visitors”, said Ana Pastor. Spanish cities that are currently drafting their strategies for presentation to the call for proposals, such as Barcelona, Malaga, Gijon, Cartagena and Palencia.

How to house train an adult dog
A
LTHOUGH it is quite easy to house-train a puppy, things can and do go wrong with this process if it isn’t done correctly.
Not everyone tries to housetrain their dogs, for example if they are kennelled outside. This means that some pet dogs reach adulthood having not been fully housetrained. Luckily, in most cases,
house-training an adult dog is quite simple and new habits can be taught quickly. However, it does require time and patience, and if you want your dog to do well you need to make sure you are dedicated.
How long it takes depends on how well you keep to the routine, how quickly your dog learns, how old your dog is and what experience your dog has had in the past. As well as not being house trained, there are many other reasons why a dog will go to the toilet in the house. Some of these are stress and tension in the household, anxiety about being left alone, territor y marking and/or feeling poorly.
WHAT TO DO
Before starting the new routine Carefully clean all areas where your dog has pre-viously ‘been’ using a warm solution of
biological was-hing powder (for example, a teaspoon of powder dissol-ved in a cup of warm water) or a specially formulated product from your vet, which will remove all traces of the smell from your house.
Every day When you first wake up, last thing at night and very regularly during the day, take your dog outside to a place in your garden that you have chosen. Put soiled newspaper or faeces in this area as the smell will help your dog to know where to go to the toilet. Let your dog walk up and down or run about and sniff the area (both exercise and sniffing help stimulate going to the loo).
Avoid playing exciting games in the garden during this process, as this is likely to distract your dog from the main purpose of going outside! If they want to come back inside straight away, or look confu-sed, patiently walk up and down slowly to encourage them to move about and sniff the ground. Stay outside with your dog until they have done their business at which point you can give gentle praise. If they still haven’t gone to the toilet after five minutes, come back inside the house, but keep a very close eye on them. Repeat this process 20 minutes later (and 20 minutes after that if they still haven’t gone) and hopefully your dog will eventually toilet in the right place. Set aside lots of time for this and be prepared for several visits to the garden at first as this is a new routine your dog will have to learn. Be patient and your persistence will eventually pay off! Between trips to the garden, supervise your dog when in the house. This means keeping your dog in view at all times and being aware of what they are doing – this is especially important in the first two weeks of this training. Pay particular attention to the times after your dog has eaten, woken up or after periods of excitement, such as play.
WHEN YOU CANNOT SUPERVISE DIRECTLY
When you go out During the initial stages of this training, it’s best not to leave your dog alone at all ideally you should wait until their new toileting habits are well established. If you do have to go out and it is for less than two hours, you could leave your dog in the dog crate, but only if you know they will be able to cope with this. Make sure your dog has had the chance to exercise and go to the toilet before you leave them. If you will be out for longer than this, leave your dog in one room only, preferably one that is easy to clean, should there be any ‘accidents’. You could leave out some paper for dog to toilet
on should they need to go, or cover the area with a large sheet of polythene. While this won’t teach your dog where you would like them to go to the toilet, it will make any mess easier to clean up and stops the area becoming soiled.
At night Most adult dogs will sleep during the night and won’t need to go to the toilet. However, some may still need to go, especially if they haven’t got the hang of doing their business outside yet. The easiest solution is to put your dog’s bed or crate either in your bedroom or nearby. If they are outside the bedroom, leave your bedroom door open so that if your dog wakes up and needs to go during the night, you will hear whining or moving around. Get up and calmly take your dog outside, following the daytime routine. Put your dog back to bed quietly when you come back in. At night, it is especially important not to excite your dog in anyway as you don’t want them to learn that going out into the garden in the early hours is ‘fun’! If you are unable to have your dog near your bedroom and you are waking up to a few accidents, then you will have to set an alarm clock and experiment with the time in which to get up to see if you can coincide it with the time in which your dog needs to go. Although this sounds like a lot of sleepless nights for you, it shouldn’t last for long, only until new habits have been established.
If you find a puddle or mess It’s important not to punish your dog for any ‘accidents’ discovered too late. You may feel angry or frustrated, but dogs are unable to associate your feelings of annoyance with something that happened in the past or when you were not there, so it won’t teach them anything constructive. Instead it’s likely to make things worse as your dog will become even more anxious about your return home (as they will begin to anticipate a telling off), which may cause even more toileting indoors. If your dog has gone to the toilet– greet them in the normal happy way before cleaning up any mess.

Canaries buck the trend of Spain’s falling house prices House price data this week from the Housing Department in the Ministry of Public Works (Fomento), and the monthly house price index from the valuations company Tinsa, show Spanish house prices still declining at a national level, though at a lower rate than before in the case of the Government’s data. TINSA INDEX DOWN 3.6 PER CENT The Tinsa Index for May, based on the company’s own valuations, showed house prices falling significantly more than the Government’s data suggests. Average national house prices were down 3.6 per cent over 12 months to the end of May, led by provincial capitals and large cities, down 4.9 per cent. House prices on the Mediterranean coast were down 2.3 per cent, and 2.1 per cent in the Balearics and Canaries. Year to date, house prices on the coast are up 1.4 per cent on the same period last year, but down 48.8 per cent since the peak, the biggest cumulative fall of all areas. The national average peak-to-present fall is 42.1 per cent, according to Tinsa.
OFFICIAL DATA FROM HOUSING DEPARTMENT The average price for Spanish property fell a 0.11 per cent in Q1 this year to 1,458 euros per square metre. This is the smallest adjustment since the crisis began, according to figures published by the Spanish Ministry of Development based on 92,563 valuations. Compared to the previous quarter, house prices were down by 0.36 per cent. Since their peak in 2008 when they exceeded 2,100 euros per square metre, prices have come down by a cumulative 30.4 per cent. In real terms, after adjusting for inflation, the decrease is 36.3 per cent. Spanish property prices started falling in the fourth quarter of 2008. Since then prices have fallen for 26 consecutive quarters, with the biggest fall at the end of 2012, when they declined by 10 per cent. In the regional terms, seven autonomous regions registered year-on-year increases: the Canaries (3.56 per cent), Aragon (1.9 per cent), Madrid (1.67 per cent), the Valencian Community (0.69 per cent), Extremadura (0.57 per cent), the Balearics (0.1 per cent) and Andalusia (0.05 per cent). The rest of Spain’s autonomous regions are still experiencing year-on-year decreases, particularly Asturias (6.53 per cent), Castilla-León (3.72 per cent), Navarra (3.15 per cent), Galicia (2.29 per cent), the Basque Country (1.47 per cent), Murcia and Ceuta and Melilla (1.35 per cent).

T
HE dates have been set for an iconic festival which only takes place once every five years in Garachico.
This fantastic Tenerife event in the north of the island was last held in 2010 and are unique to the island, being the only “Fiestas Lustrales” celebrated here. They are a celebration and commemoration of the volcanic eruption which Garachico experienced in 1706 when Trevejo exploded, causing major damage to the town and destroying the old port, parish church, San Francisco convent and monastery of Santa Clara. This summer, the fiestas have been set for July 23rd to August 2nd, with the end of festival celebrations planned for August 1st and 2nd. During these two days, visitors will be able to enjoy a parade of floats and one of the most stunning firework displays of the Canary Islands, “los fuegos del risco” or “fires of the cliffs”. Thousands of spectators are expected. Prior to this, residents will be decorating the plazas with paper flowers. From August 3rd to 16th, Garachico will also celebrate the Fiestas de San Roque.
Date changes for Joaquín Sabina concerts
DOCTOR’S ADVICE
T
ICKETS for three Canary concerts by the Dominican singer, songwriter, producer and composer Juan Luis Guerra are selling like hotcakes, say the promoters.
The artist’s Madrid dates were sold out in just one month and the archipelago looks like following this trend. Some 7,000 ticket were snapped up in the first few weeks alone. Juan Luis Guerra will be in Las Palmas on July 23rd, Santa Cruz on July 25th and La Palma on July 26th. The concerts are part of his tour “Todo tiene su hora” (“Everything has its hour”) . Artevalle Producciones say they have increased the number of ticket outlets across the islands, including at the Carolina Boix shoe stores across Tenerife. They are also allowing children under the age of 16 to attend the concerts, provided they are accompanied by an adult and download an authorisation form from festivalmarabierto.com
T
HE singer, songwriter and poet, Joaquín Sabina was forced to postpone his forthcoming concerts in the Canary Islands because of an injury suffered during an earlier performance.
However, coupled with the bad news was good news for all of his fans in that new dates were arranged instead. He was to have appeared on June 11th in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and then on June 13th in Adeje. However, because of a strain, he was advised by doctors to have 20 days of rest. The new dates are now July 2nd in Las Palmas and July 4th in Adeje. The organisers say they are very sorry for the change and for all those who bought tickets and can make the new date, their reservations remain valid. For those who cannot, refunds are available. Tickets cost 35 euros and 38 euros and are available from the platforms of Ticketmaster, Entrees and Ticketea.

F your dog desperately needs a haircut and you can’t get to Pretty Pooches in Adeje, don’t despair. They can come to you!
Mark and Lyn are the new owners of the salon and as part of their service, operate their “poochmobile” to both collect and deliver your pet. This is just one part of their very flexible service which allows you to have an appointment at any time to suit your schedule. This could be in the day, the evening or at the weekend. All you have to do is to ring them and arrangements can be made. The collection service is free in the south (within reason!) and your dog will be well looked- after all the time it is in Mark and Lyn’s care. They both adore animals, of course, and have three dogs of their own which they brought over with them from the UK. Before completing the move to Tenerife, Lyn underwent
extensive professional training in dog grooming and is now fully qualified. Lyn does the grooming but she and Mark are very much a team and love their new life here and it’s now all systems go for the business which is ready and waiting to help all dog owners....or those with cats and even rabbits. In fact, as Mark jokes, “anything with fur!” Pretty Pooches is in the Los Olivos area of Adeje (that’s not the old village of Adeje but just a little further down the motorway off exit 59 towards Los Olivos where all the big businesses are and just a few yards from the Guardia Civil headquarters by the roundabout). You can contact Pretty Pooches on 922 775 219/ 638 138 183.
After centuries belong to different generations of Austrian nobility, the castle passed in 1980 to its current owners who brought new life to it as a top hotel and restaurant with a maximum level of comfort. Patients can combine a relaxing holiday with dental treatment and rehabilitation, with Artedental leading the

With the creation of this centre, the Tenerife company under the medical director Doctor Víctor Cubillo, can offer the same facilities which have returned the smile to the faces of their clients here. Art on 4® is their own system which allows a client to receive a fixed implant in

Time must never forget the women of Puerto de la Cruz
I
by Javier Lima Estévez
N recent years, we have developed different approaches to the study of the role of women played in various aspects of everyday life.
This was a major contribution which had gone unnoticed by historiography dominated by the study of man, for a long time, reducing the study of women to just a few cases that stand out (in many cases) for their names being linked to their husbands. In this vein, such studies of women generally have increased in the Canaries over the decades, highlighting various investigations that have approached the study of the Canary women from different perspectives. Carmen Rosa Hernández Garcia and Elsa Armas Carrillo did a work of great value to understand the role of women in the history of the Tenerife town of Puerto de la Cruz, in response to the activities developed by them in different fields. Thus, in the pages of this study, we see women dedicated to teaching or nursing. It highlights the important role played by the fish vendors, who moved out of town to distribute their products and get income or exchange it for other foods. Domestic service would be another function, and the important work they developed as seamstresses, carers, etc. In their work, “The Portuenses workers: the love of a job well done” , Carmen Rosa and Elsa collected the names of 270 women whose biographies reflect the work developed by the portuenses in the past, and the women whose names history has forgotten. Fortunately, the testimony of the protagonists or relatives have helped to preserve their memory and from this, we are able to rebuild and learn about the experiences of women who under difficult circumstances, managed to raise their families in the context of migration and the complex economic situation created in the Canaries after the Civil War. In short, it is a work of great importance to know and learn the work of many women in the past and whose knowledge serves as an example to value and recognise the value over time, unjustly condemned to oblivion. History and memories that combine to allow us to evaluate a role that often remains hidden or silenced by historiography.

They were red, yellow, black and blue, flying high in the strong coastal wind. Here at last was Tarfaya, but the Pharoah wondered if it had been worth such a long and dangerous journey.
What joy! Snefru would at last see his son again after over three months of uncertainty. Now it would be possible to go ashore and tread dry land again, after such a lengthy voyage. The land was indeed dry, a few palms, some poor buildings, what looked like a temple in the village square and alongside the village was the Egyptian camp. It had been set up on one side of the bay that formed a small natural harbor and it seemed larger than the village itself. In fact there were five thousand Egyptians in the camp and only two thousand villagers in Tarfaya. Small, open, reed-built boats were lying on the beach so it seemed that these primitive folk did venture out to sea to fish. Fish were in fact plentiful in this enormous sea. The sailors on Pharoah’s ships had already noted many species never before encountered on their voyages from Egypt to “ The Kingdom of the Cedars”. Pharoah’s eighteen surviving vessels anchored in the sheltered bay of Tarfaya and without wasting any time he, the women and the royal guard under the orders of Harmhab had gone ashore to greet their countrymen who lined the shore to welcome them. Later the sailors and carpenters, cooks and animal-keepers would also go ashore and both expeditions would exchange tales of their long, heroic and dangerous odysseys. Now that at last they were at Tarfaya, a conference was demanded by Pharoah and Cheops; a meeting with the elders, chieftain and high priest of this tiny settlement. Through the scouts from Tidikett who served as interpreters (their language was similar) the Egyptians started interrogating the frightened leaders of the village. These, as can be understood, were stunned by the arrival of an army of five thousand armed men with camels and horses. Nothing like this had ever been seen or heard about before; they had never seen iron swords or chariots, or the clothes worn by these strange foreigners. Nor had such large and well-built ships ever been seen or dreamed of. They were awed and thus determined to collaborate in every way. The Egyptians however were anxious to hear much more about the white pyramid of Ra: This vision was to be the whole point of this great adventure; so where was it?. Coming down the coast Snefru and his men had kept their keen eyes skinned for any mysterious apparitions but nothing had been seen by day, nor night; only the night sky brilliant with stars. The high priest of Tarfaya, a man named Guanarte, insisted on the Egyptian leaders following him to his temple. A short walk from the camp to the village square was called for. As they progressed the villagers stood in awe of the visitor. Rumors were already rife that these foreigners had travelled for months looking for their white pyramid. In fact only a handful of the villagers had ever seen it, they were a few fishermen who had been blown west from their normal coastal fishing grounds and had been fortunate enough to get back! Many had not returned and had been given up for lost. Maybe the white pyramid had taken them as a sacrifice. The Egyptian leaders were taken into the small temple and, as at Tidikett, there on the wall behind the primitive altar was a painting of the white apparition. Guanarte explained to the gathered leaders of the Egyptian host that this strange sight had been seen by different fishermen. It required at least two days sailing into the great sea, away from the coast, in the same direction that Ra travels before disappearing. Part II of Chapter V to follow in our next edition.

Unique restaurant at Tacoronte
Meat on a sword at Churrasquería Novillo de Prata
L
IVING or taking a holiday in Tenerife is very much about exploring new places, discovering different landscapes and eating out in unusual places, often away from the tourist areas. Those who regularly visit the north of the island will almost certainly remember El Rodeo in Tacoronte, the restaurant where waiters serve you in a very distinctive style by carving meat for you at your table off long skewers. What you might no t realise is that the Tacoronte El Rodeo has closed down. It has now been taken over by the employees and has
moved premises to Carretera General del norte, TF 152, number 17 El Sauzal. This is a wonderful rural municipality and one you should visit to see its stunning countr yside and architecture and what better a way to round things off than with a visit to Novillo de Prata to sample their unique style of service and cuisine. The restaurant is a so
potato salad. It’s great to see all the camareros, dressed in Brazilian-style costumes, coming out with their different meats on huge skewers and see their expertise at carving you slices with their swords. You are served at your table and there is much anticipation and eagerness for them to arrive at your side. The aromas reach you even before they do! The meat includes se-
called “churrasquerias” which means restaurants serving meat but they have a very characteristic style. It all sets the scene for a hugely enjoyable experience whatever your nationality, age or taste in food. More importantly, you can eat and eat to suit your
appetite and only give up when you are truly full. A novelty is that you are served six different side dishes on your table to go with the meat which you are continuously offered during your meal. These dishes are two types of salad, chips, polenta, rice and Russia
veral types of chicken, pork, veal, sausage, chorizo, the finest beef and steaks, ribs, turkey breast with bacon, marinated pork loin and more. The waiters keep on coming round time and time again whilst you serve yourself with the variety of side plates which stand on your table which make the perfect accompaniment for the meat. Of course, only the best products are used and these “side” dishes, including potatoes and chips, are topped up regularly. You pay a set fee for this way of eating and pay the extra for drinks and for the desserts which come round on a trolley and are simply gorgeous, with very generous portions. All this is, of course, a haven for those who love meat, there is a reduced fee for children and a reduced fee for a one sword of mixed meat too. This is a lovely air-conditioned restaurant and the staff are always praised for their friendliness. There is spacious car-parking outside and access for the disabled.
Churrasqueria Novillo de Prata is open Monday to Sunday from 13:00 - 17:00 / 20:00 - 23:00 (closed on Wednesdays and Sunday evenings), telephone 922 983 292 if you would like to make a reservation.

Cuesta de la Villa
A great part of the fun of wining and dining in Tenerife is finding somewhere different and it’s well worth a trip out to Santa Ursula to the warm and inviting Donde Mario. Though from the outside you might easily pass by it, the inside is elegant and captivating. Restaurateur Mario Torres surpises us every day with his extensive use of produce in season, and his unbeatable experience with wines and cookery. Just try his Cherne warm salad, a super-healthy Canarian fish soup, or his Lomo de Vaca Morucha. You will be surprised.
Why not try a touch of “picoteo”, the Spanish-style of eating where, as the name suggests, you pick a selection of dishes and share with your companions. You will find “El Calderito de la Abuela” in Santa Úrsula and it offers a unique and homely atmosphere combining Canary cuisine with modern creativity. This is already an award-winning restaurant and it’s not surprising that this year, it has again scooped a TripAdvisor accolade. The exterior of this property belies what you will find inside as it is full of charm and carácter and there is an incredible view of La Orotava valley. “A gem” is how it is described.
Set in a series of old Canary houses, this restaurant is made up of a labyrinth of inter-connecting rooms leading off from the bar area in the centre. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an English country pub with its low ceilings with wooden beams and warm décor. The food is fundamentally Canarian. They grow most of their own produce at their allotment and only use olive oil to cook with. Their ethos is a simple one, only use the best, fresh produce and cook it with thought and care. The menu is described as Picoteo, slightly more than tapas without reaching the full-blown three-course meal status. It’s delicious and affordable.

Tipsy Terrace also has a swimming pool, tennis, mini-golf and lovely gardens. It is easy to find as it is just by the coach and bus stops.
This iconic restaurant in the heart of Santa Cruz is definitely a place to head for if you enjoy stunning decor and high-end cuisine but at prices you can still afford. The food here is best described as a slice of home-made cooking with the taste and touch of nouvelle cuisine. The emphasis is on quality, freshness and naturalness where the raw product is the star, depending on what is available that day in the market. They offers a special menu for celiac and can help create food for anyone with a specific allergy. Weddings, etc are also catered for and there is always a dish of the day.

TO THE EDITOR
Well done to Siam Mall!
Photo by Gerard Zenou
Dear Editor As regular visitors to Tenerife, we just wanted to write and say
New mall needs more signs Dear Madam Like many other people who have commented on the social network sites, I think Siam Mall at Costa Adeje is brilliant. However, could I make one big plea? For a few more signposts? From the motor-way, all you can really see is a few diggers finishing off the landscaping part of the centre. Unless you have been told otherwise, there isnt any way of knowing that the mall is complete and that virtually all of the shops and restaurants are now open. Visitors might well drive straight on by. It is such an achievement that I
would have thought the builders would be making a huge thing about its opening and would expect big notices up everywhere and much more publicity campaigns. I gather there will be fashion shows and various events here as well so hopefully these will be advertised too way in advance so we don’t miss them? Name and address supplied
Magaluf should look to Tenerife Dear Editor Reading all the problems that
how pleased we were to find the new Siam Mall open on our recent visit. We think it will be a great asset to the south of the island and it was long overdue, although we do understand that the economy played a huge part in the delay. It really is great to go around the shops (and to find so many of them) because this had been lacking in Tenerife. Yes, there are lots of good shops in Playa de las Americas around the Safari Centre and there are lots of other smaller shops along the beach front etc but nothing really in the middle ground. Most people seem to be praising Siam Mall but there are still a few moaning about the lack of a Primark. Why do we need a Primark? Go along to the centre and you will find many similar shops with good prices and some really great choice of restaurants on the first floor. Nice to see as well that the centre is disabled friendly with good wide aisles and a lift as well. An accolade to the developers we think! Turner family, Birmingham (regular visitors to Tenerife)
are happening in Magaluf, with drunken stag parties, people jumping off balconies etc, it really makes you appreciate how well Tenerife has done with its reputation. Mallorca might be facing an uphill battle to change its image but perhaps officials should contact our island to see how to create a safe and happy holiday destination without spoiling the fun for everyone. We still have Verónicas but it doesn’t dominate the news any more and we hear very little about any problems or tragedies. Verónicas is now just a ver y ver y small part of Tenerife which now has a
great reputation and one held in high esteem. ART, Tenerife
Medical research Dear Editor, I hope one of your readers can help me. I would like to leave my body for medical research but am not having much success in finding out how to go about it. I have asked my lawyer, my doctor, and the specialist clinic in Puerto de la Cruz to no avail. I presumed one would sign a form and go on a register of some sort. I,m sure if I phoned the University Hospital I would get an answer but as my Spanish is less than fluent this is not an option.

Get out and about to increase your bone strength
AVOIDING OSTEOPOROSIS
I
T’S true that our bones tend to lose strength as we get older. But even in later years, there is plenty we can do to slow down bone loss and avoid the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis. In general, our activity levels tend to drop as we get older. You may feel you don’t have the energy to exercise or that you may harm yourself in some way. Physical problems like stiff, painful joints can also make us less inclined to be active. The problem is that being inactive makes your muscles and bones lose strength. This increases your risk of osteo-
porosis, falls and fractures. By staying active, you can significantly lower your risk of breaking a bone. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. But for optimum health, it’s recommended that people over 65 get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, in bouts of ten minutes or more, every week.
With moderate-intensity activities, you will get warmer, breathe harder and your heart will beat faster, but you should still be able to carr y on a conversation. Examples include a round of golf with friends, doing some gardening, or taking the dog for a walk. Muscle strength is vital for improving your balance and staying independent and mobile in later years. It’s recommended that people over the age of 65 do activities to improve muscle strength at least twice a week. This could include dancing, carrying groceries, going up and down stairs, or exercising to music – in fact, anything that challenges your muscles. It’s also a good idea to do activities to improve balance and co-ordination twice a week as this can reduce your risk of falling. Things such as yoga or tai chi are best for this. These types of activity can also ease stiffness and unsteadiness associated with painful joints. Another important tip for over 65s is to avoid sitting around for long periods. As well as reducing muscle and bone strength, this can make joints feel stiffer and so increase the risk of falls. If you find you have been sitting for more than about 20-30 minutes, get up and go for a stroll. Physical problems, such as painful joints, needn’t prevent you from being active. Classes are available for people who are older or who have underlying health conditions, such as heart disease or arthritis. Ask your GP or practice nurse, or make enquiries at your local leisure centre.
PAINFUL ILLNESS
What causes a kidney infection?
A
kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a painful and unpleasant illness caused by bacteria travelling from your bladder into one or both of your kidneys.
It’s more serious than cystitis, a common infection of the bladder that makes urinating painful. If treated promptly, a kidney infection doesn’t cause serious harm, but will make you feel very unwell. If a kidney infection isn’t treated, it can get worse and cause permanent kidney damage. Symptoms of a kidney infection often come on within a few hours. You can feel feverish, shivery, sick and have a pain in your back or side. See your GP if you have a fever and persistent tummy, lower back or genital pain, or if you notice a change to your usual pattern of urination. Most kidney infections need prompt treatment with antibiotics to stop the infection from damaging the kidneys or spreading to the bloodstream. You may also need painkillers. If you’re especially vulnerable to the effects of an infection – for example, if you have a preexisting health condition or are pregnant - you may be admitted to hospital and treated with antibiotics through an intravenous drip. After taking antibiotics, you should feel completely better after about two weeks. In rare cases, a kidney infection can cause further problems. These include blood poisoning (sepsis) and a build-up of pus in the kidney called an abscess. A kidney infection usually happens when bacteria – often a type called E. coli – gets into the urethra (the tube which carries urine out of the body) and travels up through the bladder and into the kidneys.
Who’s at risk? Kidney infections are relatively rare. It’s estimated that one in every 830 people develops a kidney infection each year in the UK. They can happen at any age, but are much more common in women. In fact, women are six times more likely to get a kidney infection than men. This is because a woman’s urethra is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to reach the kidneys. Younger women are most at risk because they tend to be more sexually active, and having frequent sex increases the chances of getting a kidney infection. Younger children are also vulnerable to developing kidney infections because they may be born with an abnormality of the urinary tract or have a condition called vesico-ureteric reflux, where there is a backflow of urine from the bladder up to the kidneys.
Can kidney infections be prevented? You can reduce your chances of developing a kidney infection by keeping your bladder and urethra free from bacteria. This can include drinking plenty of fluids, keeping your genitals clean and treating any constipation.

Sure-fire ways to ease your pain W
53
TRIED AND TESTED
HETHER your pain has just come on or you’ve lived with it for years, these triedand-tested self-help steps can bring you
relief.
Get some gentle exercise Simple, everyday activity like walking, swimming, gardening and dancing can ease some of the pain directly by blocking pain signals to the brain. Activity also helps lessen pain by stretching stiff and tense muscles, ligaments and joints. It’s natural to be hesitant if exercise is painful and you’re worried about doing more damage. But if you become more active gra-dually, it’s unlikely you will cause any damage or harm. The pain you feel when you start gentle exercise is because the muscles and joints are getting fitter. In the long term, the benefits of exercise far outweigh any increase in pain.
Breathe right to ease pain Concentrating on your breathing when you’re in pain can help. When the pain is intense it’s very easy to start taking shallow, rapid breaths which can make you feel dizzy, anxious or panicked. Instead, breathe slowly and deeply. This will help you to feel more in control of the situation and will keep you relaxed and prevent any muscle tension or anxiety from worsening your pain.
Counselling can help with pain Pain can make you tired, anxious, depressed and grumpy. This can make the pain even worse, making you fall into a downward spiral. Be kinder to yourself. Living with pain isn’t easy and you can be your own worst enemy by being stubborn, not pacing your activities every day and not accepting your limitations. Some people find it useful to seek help from a counsellor, psychologist or hypnotherapist to discover how to deal with their emotions in relation to their pain.
Distract yourself Shift your attention onto something else so the pain isn’t the only thing on your mind. Get stuck into an activity that you enjoy or find stimulating. Many hobbies, like photography, sewing or knitting, are possible even when your mobility is restricted.
Share your story about pain It can help to talk to someone else who has experienced similar pain themselves and understands what you’re going through. Pain Concern, Action on Pain, Arthritis Care and BackCare all have telephone helplines manned by people with long-term pain, who can
put you in touch with local patient support groups. The healthtalk and youthhealthtalk websites let you watch or listen to videos of other people’s experiences of pain.
The sleep cure for pain
“Many people with chronic pain dread going to bed as that’s when the pain is worst,” says Heather Wallace from Pain Concern. But it’s important to try to stick to a normal sleep routine so you’ve got the best chance of sleeping through the night.
Also, “sleep deprivation can worsen pain”, says Heather. Go to bed at the same time each evening, and get up at a regular time in the morning and avoid taking naps in the day. If sleep problems persist, see your GP.
Take a course Self management courses are free NHS-based training programmes for people who live with long-term chronic conditions such as arthritis and diabetes to develop new skills to manage their condition (and any related pain) better on a day-to-day basis.
Many people who have been on a self management course say they take fewer painkillers afterwards. Keep in touch with friends and family Don’t let pain mean that you lose contact with people. Keeping in touch with friends and family is good for your health and can help you feel much better. Tr y shorter visits, maybe more often, and if you can’t get out to visit people, phone a friend, invite a family member round for a coffee or have a chat with your neighbour.
Aim to talk about anything other than your pain, even if other people want to talk about it.
Relax to beat pain
Practising relaxation techniques regularly can help to reduce persistent pain. There are many types of relaxation techniques, varying from breathing exercises to types of meditation. Ask your GP for advice in the first instance. There may be classes available locally or at your local hospital’s pain clinic.

Genesis showcases Hyundai’s quality
A
whole lot can be achieved in a day – even if it includes a flight from Glasgow to Birmingham and back with an hour-plus chauffeur drive to and from my destination in between. Windmill Hill Archive in the spectacular grounds of Waddesdon Manor in Aylesbury was where Hyundai was holding a driving event. There’s been no shortage of new models coming from the South Korean company. And that’s no surprise considering Hyundai has the world’s biggest car plant. It’s in Ulsan where 1.5 million cars a year are built – equivalent to one every 20 seconds – where there are 34,000 workers and berths where three 50,000 ton ships can anchor simultaneously. There’s also lots of quality in a Hyundai line-up that has an everincreasing choice for buyers. The i20 five-door now has a Coupe sibling and I was impressed with the spec in the entry-level SE model. It included 16-inch alloys,
Bluetooth, cruise control with speed limiter, lane departure warning and tyre pressure
monitoring. Also new on the scene is an i30 Turbo three-door and I enjoyed a quick buzz in this with its 184bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine. This sporty hot-hatch handled
well with lots of grip and is simply packed with standard features. You don’t go short of kit in the new i40 Saloon SE models either. I enjoyed a drive in a 139bhp 1.7-litre CRDi version and reckon this is a family saloon model well worth looking at with its comfort and interior space. I have only mentioned these models briefly because I also managed to get my hands on Hyundai’s flagship model – Genesis – that has just arrived in the UK. You probably won’t see one in Tenerife and there will be few viewed on UK roads either as Hyundai say it is available in limited numbers. This second-generation Genesis has just been introduced
to the European market and it’s a super big saloon. It stands out with its sleek and stylish design and displays the high quality levels that Hyundai is now capable of. In fact, the purpose of the
M
Speed limits on Spanish roads
ANY drivers will have exceeded the statutory speed limit at some point during their driving life time but speed limits on roads are there for a reason, mainly for safety and obviously to minimise accidents in dangerous areas of a road or narrow and winding roads where visibility is bad or very limited. We will all have been passed by what is commonly known as “boy racers“ (often these days though they are girls!) and more often than not they are new or inexperienced drivers who would be unable to handle the car effectively in the event of an accident which could prove fatal. In Spain as a whole excessive or inappropriate speeding is one of the three most common contributing factors to accidents on the roads.
For this reason the risk factors increase with speed and other factors mainly alcohol, drugs and of course inexperience in driving. On some roads there will be a low speed limit or restriction which will not appear to the driver as obvious but when a road is being constructed many factors are taken into account and speed is one of them and whilst they may not be obvious to the driver there will almost certainly be a very good reason for them, in the UK often areas are known for accident black spots and the same can apply here especially as many roads are not up to the same standard as in some other European countries. It is important to remember that the speed limit indicated by a red circular sign with black numbers in the middle is the MAXIMUM speed limit that can be reached during ideal circumstances, for example a speed limit on motorways of 120 km is not recommended in heavy rain or bad visibility as this can endanger the lives of the vehicles driver and/or passengers and also potentially other road users or on minor roads the lives of pedestrians. Many people will not know that there is also a minimum speed limit sign which is a blue circular one with white numbers inside and this denotes that if your vehicle for example a tractor/lorry etc. cannot reach this limit is should not use this road. These signs however are not that common here in the Canary Islands. There is a third sign which is blue but square and is used as an advisory sign rather than a mandatory one. This will have been decided by road planners and it is therefore advisable to adhere to it during the stretch of road to which it relates. This sign is often used in conjunction with other speed limit signs, which of course could cause some confusion. You should always remember that signs are just indicators of speed limits and one should adjust their driving and speed according to conditions in the weather, rain or bright sunshine, flow of traffic and any obstacles or slow moving vehicles that may be travelling in the same or even opposite direction to you. All roads have a speed limit even if one is not displayed and these fall into four categories. The first is motorways or Toll roads. These are known as Autopistas or Autovias, and usually have a speed limit of between 100-120 km/h. The second is split into two groups and is known as conventional roads. Sub divided into vías automóviles and carreteras convencionales with a hard shoulder equal to or more than 1.5 m or more and/or more than two lanes in each direction, which UK residents would class as dual carriageways, the speed limit varies from 80-100 km/h. The final group is known as urban roads or vías urbanas or travesías where the speed limits can range from 20-50 km/h. This may all seem confusing but the best advice is stick to the speed limit displayed!
Genesis arriving in the UK is to show us just that – a demonstration of capabilities of Hyundai Motor Company. UK motorists won’t budge from prestige brands when they ’re looking to buy a luxury saloon. But the Genesis shows that other companies can produce top-notch high-tech quality models. It costs £48,005 and under the bonnet is a big 3.8-litre 311bhp V6 petrol engine. The Genesis looks sleek and powerful and its massive interior is full of quality with features including handfinished leathers and suede roof trim. An extremely high-level of technology gives you items
such as smart park assist, headup display and hands-free boot opening. There’s also lots of safety features including auto-nomous emergency braking system, blind spot detection, cross traffic alert and lane keeping assist. And a first in class dual-zone climate control detects temperature, hu-midity and CO2 density to reduce driver fatigue. The Genesis doesn’t disappoint in performance either. Push the starter button and you can then accelerate to 62mph in just 6.5 seconds – not bad going for a big luxury saloon. The power comes effor-
tlessly though an eight-speed automatic gearbox and is there is plenty of it at whatever speed you need that extra punch. With a top speed of 149mph it’s ever so quiet when cruising at motorway speeds with no wind or road noise either. The ride comfort is excellent, even over some bumpy surfaces, as is the handling with its front and rear suspension finely tuned by Lotus. Genesis is a super luxury saloon and topped off a fine day sampling a selection of Hyundai’s impressive line-up. If any of the prestige brands badges were on this model you would see the Genesis attracting more than the limited number of sales Hyundai is looking at.

Home honours in annual Puerto swimming trophy
THREE-DAY EVENT
A
N annual swimming tournament held in Puerto de la Cruz proved a great success, not least for the organising team.
Each year, to celebrate Canary Day, the Club Natación Martiánez stages the Francisco Afonso Swimming Trophy and this was the 26th occasion. The tournament was attended by more than 100 athletes from C.N. Reales, C.N. Bentaculaguna, C.N. Alameda, C.D. Teneteide, Agrupación Deportiva Santa Cruz, Real Club Naútico de Tenerife and C.N. Los Cristianos, in addition to the hosts. This year, C.N. Martíanez won the categories of Benjamín male and female, Alevin female and second place in
Alevin male. These results helped the club to take the Francisco Afonso trophy. Álvaro Merino of Real Club Naútico de Tenerife and Annia Ferrera of C.N. Bentaculaguna won the individual awards for the 200 metre medley and 100 metres. The organisers were delighted to welcome a number of special guests, including Dolores Galindo, widow of Francisco Afonso and president of C.N. Martiánez, Dácil García who presented the medals and trophies.

Tegueste market La Espíritu Triabona, a day of solidarity and sportsmanship sponsors basketball team HEALTHY PLEDGE
L
A Espíritu Triabona 2015 has its winners following a magnificent day in Granadilla.
T
EGUESTE’S popular market is continuing its support for sport and a healthy lifestyle.
Since the season of 2011-2012, it has sponsored the municipality’s basketball club as it feels their aims fit in with their own ie to encourage people to be active and to eat a balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables. The collaboration with CB Villa de Tegueste continues for
a further year and the market is very happy to do so. “The sport helps children not only to be healthy and develop physically and mentally but also to relate in a healthy way with other children,” said a spokesman for the farmers’ and artisans’ market.
Ayoze Pérez of Puerto Cruz Realejos and Laura van den Beuken of TXTM triumphed in the ten kilometres and Carlos Martín del Probicis and Caroline Mary Ratterre of Atletas en Acción were first home in the five kilometres. The event was held along the historic streets of the town and coincided with celebrations in honour of San Antonio de Padua. Organisers, the sports department of Granadilla
council and the Espíritu Triabona sports club, were delighted with its success. This third edition attracted more than 440 entries and the fiesta day ensured a huge crowd. The second and third places in the five kilometres went to Casanova Barroso of Puerto Cruz Realejos and Pedro Martín of Triabona. In the women’s, Verónica Reverón was second, followed by Almudena Rosado of Candetlon, third.
In the ten kilometres, second and third place went to Olympian José Carlos Hernández Cabrera del New Balance and Antonio Melo of C.A.Trivalle de Güímar and for the women, Emily Megan Firth of Atletas en Acción and Kinsey Anne McBeath. The Espíritu Triabona has always had a strong commitment to solidarity since its inception in 2013. Therefore, as before, the younger members of the racing world paid one euro each to enter and also brought along a kilo of non-perishable food. Proceeds this year go to the Vacacionesen Paz de la Asociación (ACAPS), which is a peace organisation dedicated to giving young
children in need a muchneeded holiday. Each year, hundreds of young subSaharans are brought over to the Canaries to enjoy the sunshine, fresh air and good food for two months, a break which provides an enormous benefit to their health and well-being. In total, 200 euros was collected. The 150 kilos of food items have been donated to the local branch of the Red Cross. The entire afternoon had a fantastic atmosphere and the organisers would like to thank everyone who took part or contributed in any way and also to the people of Granadilla for the sportsmanship and solidarity.
Football club colours will prevail in new landscaping T
GRANADILLA WORK
HE sports complex and soccer field known as “Francisco Suárez” in the centre of Granadilla is to get an aesthetic facelift.
The local council’s department of parks and gardens, directed by Juan Rodríguez Bello, is under-taking a “beautification” plan. The councillor, together with the Mayor Jaime González Cejas, recently visited the area where the improvement work was due to begin this week. The budget for this project is 17,000 euros and includes the installation of artificial turf along the slope that borders the sports complex, installation of flora according to the colours of the football club and new drip systems. This project, which falls within the municipal gardens plan approved by municipal services two years ago, will provide this point of Granadilla with a significant landscape change. Juan Rodríguez Bello said: “This work will transform the northern entrance to the town and around the sports complex and the colours of Granadilla Athletic Football Club will prevail.” The slope area, he said, had been in a particular bad state because the trees had prevented proper development of the flora. Over the last two years, the council has spent around 500,000 euros improving the gardens of Granadilla. After this project, the next area to be tackled with regards to landscaping will be the first roundabout to the entrance to San Isidro, adding new grass and flowers.

TOUGH TEST
Intrepid athletes conquer the 5th Asomadero Trail
T
HE V Asomadero Trail, always a much anticipated event in the Canary sports calendar, provided a great spectacle of competitveness in Los Realejos. The 14.2 kilometre event attracted 300 competitors and was led virtually all the way by Óliver Perera and David Lutzardo. Óliver has held the record since 2013 and managed to win again, shaving 17 seconds off his own personal best. The athlete from Studio 54 completed the test in one hour, 22 minutes and 45 seconds and was followed just eleven
seconds later by David Lutzartdo of Tenerife Trail in 1.22.56. A lot of strength was needed to conquer the gradients and descents, particularly as the earlier rain made some areas slippery and very difficult. Ruymán Martín of Isla Baja Trail came third in 1.26.39. Begoña Govea of Kalima Trail and Verónica González of GR Cota Máxima battled for the

Flying the flag for the Los Realejos runners were Jonathan González Méndez, the first local man home in 01:34:52 and Julia Yasira Mesa López in 02:11:15 for the local women. This year, for the first time, there was a special race for children to encourage them to
take up athletics. This was held in the centre and each participant received a commemorative medal. The Asomadero Trail, organised by Los Realejos council and the sports club Tenerife Trail, covers a route of 2,430 metres over trails, through forests and over roads. Councillor for sport, Benito Dévora said the test always attracted more and more support, including from families and onlookers and thanks were extended for everyone who had helped in any way.

Bajamar swim likely to reach capacity entry T HE annual Santa Cruz swim from Bajamar to Punta del Hidalgo is likely to attract a capacity turn-out, says the city council.
RACE ENTRIES
TICKET OFFER
At the last count, only 40 of the 300 places were left for the event on July 25th and this has taken even the organisers by surprise. They believe the excellent response is down to a sliding scale of fees which meant the earlier people booked up, the less they would pay. Those who enter before July 6th pay only ten euros but even by this date, there might not be any places left. The sports department of the local council and the sports club La Bajeta also feels there has been a substantial increase in interest in these types of events. The women’s race will start at 6pm and the men ‘s five minutes later. The distance from the beach of Bajamar to the fishing shelter of Punta del Hidalgo is 1,900 metres and the time limit to complete it is one and a half hours. Entrants must be at least 16 years of age and those between 16 and 18 must have the express permission of their parents.
