m Fro Ed... the Last month was my first as Editor of The Sentinella and I never realised what an important role this would prove to be. To be absolutely honest, it’s probably the hardest part of putting this magazine together every month!

Anyone who read Keidi’s, (ex-editor’s) editorial every month for the past 13 years would probably know her life story inside out and probably better than she did herself. That’s not my style, although I will no doubt update you every now and again. Mine is more relaxed… so here I go! So, I can’t believe it’s taken me about 10 years to realise why I love living in Spain so much. In true Sentinella style I will ‘A-Z’ why – but please forgive any gaps as even my vivid imagination can’t think of everything! A – Axarquia (of course!) B – Beach/Beer C – Chiringuitos / Churros D – Dorada, my favourite fish E – Empanadas... those gorgeous tasty little pies! F – Fiestas... so much to see, do and enjoy G – Guiris – I so hate this horrid nickname for the English over here! H – Ham (OK then, for the purists – jamon!) I – Ice cream (OK then, helado) J – JAMON!! K – Me!! Jajajaja L – Lemons … add freshly-picked limones to a sparkling G&T and see how much you love them! M – Markets... so many exciting ones to choose from N – Nuts… so many lovely varieties to choose from here O – Ojen, a truly lovely village P – Paella /People/ Padel Q – Queso. The superb cheeses available here are enough to make anyone’s mouth water R – Romerias .. fabulous festivities S – Sun / Sangria / Sea / ….. sigh! Summer / Sentinella!! :) T – Tortilla .. one of the Spanish national dishes I love.

Strange News U – U-turn. You thought you were about to leave Spain forever but……..! V – Valencia. A lovely province to visit too W – Water parks / Weekend Beach Festival. Lots of culture experiences here! X – Xperience. OK, so I’m cheating, but until you’ve ‘xperienced’ the Spanish lifestyle, you truly don’t know what you’re missing. Y – y: and. And what not’s to like?? Z – Zoos. Fuengirola Zoo is a simply ‘must-visit’ – you’ll be blown away. If you are reading this relaxing on the beach whilst on your holidays, thinking you should move to Spain, think long and hard. You only get one life, so make the move before it’s too late. Only a small percentage of people – if any – ever really and truly regret it! I was always told that you should never regret what you HAVE done in life… but only what opportunities you have missed!
Bermuda mystery A new island has formed in the Bermuda Triangle, but people are being told to stay away. Nicknamed Shelly Island by locals because of the large number of shells on it, the mile-long sand bank appeared over the last couple of months. The island is off Cape Point in North Carolina and is becoming something of an attraction. However people are being told to stay away because of strong currents in the gap separating the sandbank from the mainland. And there are sharks. Bill Smith, president of the North Carolina Beach Buggy Association, said: ‘We’re worried about shark bites, but we’re more worried about drownings.’ The future of the island is not clear. The sandbank could continue to grow and form part of Cape Point, or it could vanish as quickly as it appeared.
Enjoy your Summer!!

Chinese Putin A Chinese farmer bears an uncanny likeness to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Luo Yuanpin, 54, lives in a remote village in China and has found fame for his remarkably similar features. His high hairline, broad forehead and blue eyes have drawn comparisons to the Russian Premier, and the two men are even the same height at 5ft 8in. He found himself back in the spotlight recently after Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow for talks with Putin.

De Cotta Law Community of Owners – 10 Things you need to know 1. Community of Owners is a legal entity and can take individuals, companies and debtors to court. 2. The President of a community is the person who can sign public and private documents on behalf of the community. For certain acts an EGM or AGM must be held to approve action. 3. Community Fees are approved at General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings. Increases in fees or quotas can be approved at these meetings, and normally there is a first call. Then, at the second call, those attending who represent more than half of the voting rights of those present would need to vote in favour of any increase or decrease. 4. In some communities where the original developer represents the unsold apartments or units, the developer will have the majority of votes. 5. Community Fees are used for the upkeep of the communal areas, gardens, swimming pools, painting of communal and external areas etc. 6. The majority of Communities use an Administration company – Administrador de Fincas – to collect the fees, control the accounts, pay service providers, pay gardeners and cleaners etc. 7. Each Community will have Statutes which regulate the community. These Statutes may also prevent building or covering of terraces for individual apartments and prevent the use of satellite dishes on individual properties. 8. In some cases Communities will not release Statutes to non-owners. This can make it difficult for prospective buyers to check if there are extra payments due for re-painting or refurbishments of the communal areas. 9. No property can be sold in a Community without a Certificate to show that the fees are up to date. The notary is obliged to check this so that a new owner does not take on historical debt.
10. This does not apply where an individual or a bank acquires a property at auction. When a property is purchased and title is to be inscribed the new owner will be liable for that year’s debts plus the previous 3 years of community fees. The cost of this needs to be added to the calculations when buying a property at auction. When you buy property in Spain where there is a community of owners in place, all of these things should be taken into account. With an increasing number of purchasers buying in previously half empty Communities, fees can be high or subject to quite large percentage increases. On the other hand, well-maintained gardens and pools are essential. For information or advice on your purchase or on Community issues please contact us on 952 527 014 or email us on info@decottalaw.net See main advert below

Fruit Necklaces A fun snack for the kids or adults to make this summer and they are healthy too! What you need Elastic cord Yarn needle (rounded type that are not sharp) Fresh fruit and berries Instructions Choose a variety of fruit (we used grapes, strawberries, and blueberries) and setting them in the middle of the table. Cut two-foot lengths of elastic cord and thread each onto a chunky needle (you could also use yarn or embroidery floss and an embroidery needle). Set out plates, one for each child to work from. Start each necklace with one grape (or fruit of your choice) knotted in place to hold all the fruit “beads” on the necklace. Start making your necklaces!

A Healthier Mattress For A Healthier You! Unfortunately, like many people, I suffer from allergies, and I don’t really know what I am allergic to -- apart from animal hair; I'm certainly allergic to that! However, there are many days when I do not have any contact with animals and I still wake up with sore, itchy eyes and a nose filled with... well ... OK... you don’t need all those details. Then it dawned on me that maybe the problem was closer than I thought and, in fact, the issue could be in my mattress. A quick Facebook search and there I found “Mattress Doctor Sanitizing and Stain Removal Service”. I booked my appointment. On the day, I received a lovely message to confirm that the Mattress Doctor was en route, confirming the appointment time. Mick arrived extremely punctually and got straight to work. He explained that he would test the mattress first and ... well ... I nearly fainted when I saw the mess that come out of my only twoyear-old mattress! Mick explained that this would be made up of my dead skin and millions of dust mite arachnids who had made my mattress their home; they are responsible for allergies such as sore eyes, runny noses and skin rashes. Twenty minutes later and Mick had finished the mattress. He uses only the best equipment for the job, recently having purchased a brand new machine. He uses HEPA anti-allergen technology to ensure that what goes in the bag, stays in the bag. He also says that some people have shown
fear about having their mattress cleaned, not wanting to know what is lurking in there. However, to be fair, I would rather know that’s it’s taken care of and that it is out rather than in! See contact details in advert below.

Summer Facts Facts you might not have known about the Summer Summer falls in the months of June, July, and August in the northern hemisphere and the whole months of December, January, and February in the southern hemisphere. Key summer months have Roman origins. June is named after Juno, who was the wife of Jupiter. Marc Antony named July after Julius Caesar and August was named after Caesar’s nephew, known as Augustus.
Schools and universities typically have a summer break to take advantage of the warmer weather and longer days. People in the Southern Hemisphere have their longest day of summer in December. School summer vacations were invented by educator Horace Mann in 1840. Summer vacations in other parts of the world are much shorter than in the US.
The first day of summer is known as the summer Solstice and in the US it falls on June 20 or June 21 each year, depending on when the sun is furthest north of the equator. The length of the day increases gradually from Equinox to Solstice and summer days progressively shorten after the solstice.

Interesting Facts... Liechtenstein owes much of its wealth to its traditional status as a tax haven. Liechtenstein is the sixth-smallest country in the world. Liechtenstein has one of the world’s lowest crime rates, with its last murder occurring in 1997 and its prison holding very few inmates. Liechtenstein is double landlocked: to reach the sea one must cross at least two borders. The only other doubly landlocked country is Uzbekistan. In 2007 Liechtenstein was accidentally invaded by Swiss soldiers who strayed over the border. They did not notice until Switzerland apologised. In 1984 Liechtenstein became the last European country to give women the vote. Liechtenstein is the world’s biggest maker of false teeth. Liechtenstein is the world’s most successful country in terms of Olympic medals per head of population.

Linea Directa International Insurance Card The Green Card or International Insurance Card is an internationally recognised document that proves the holder has the minimum compulsory insurance required by law of the country visited. It helps facilitate the movement of their vehicle across international borders. It also guarantees that victims of road traffic accidents involving foreign registered vehicles are compensated in the country of the accident. The Green Card System The Green Card System comprises of over 40 countries. National vehicle organisations within the Green Card System including the EU, the EEA, Switzerland, Russia and several countries around the Middle East and North Africa. However, a Green Card is not required to travel through the EEA, Andorra, Norway, Croatia and Switzerland. The Green Card Bureau Each Green Card Bureau is responsible for handling and guaranteeing the settling of claims arising from traffic accidents caused by visiting motorists. Travelling outside the EU If you are travelling outside the European Community to one of the countries listed as
requiring a Green Card, you will need to ask your insurance company to issue you a Green Card beforehand. Road accident If you’re involved in a road traffic accident in a country requiring a Green Card, make sure the police are called to the scene of the accident. You will need a copy of the police report. If you don’t understand what you’re being told, request an interpreter. We also advise that you contact your insurance company as soon as possible, whether you want to make a claim or not. Make notes of what happened. Take photographs of the accident, including plates of vehicles involved. Exchange insurance details as you would in Spain. Take down the names and addresses of any witnesses. Never admit liability or apologise. We hope the information provided in this article is of interest.

What Is Osteopathy? Osteopathy is a form of drug-free non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles, ligaments and spine, and is also used to diagnose and prevent musculoskeletal conditions. Its aim is to positively affect the body´s nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. This therapy is a unique holistic ( whole body) approach to health care. Osteopaths do not simply concentrate on treating the problem area, but use manual techniques to balance all the systems of the body, to provide overall good health and wellbeing. Many health problems are thought to be caused by poor posture and misalignment of muscles and joints. Osteopaths suggest that if the structure of your body is improved, the function of your body will also improve, problems will be alleviated and you will return to good health. Osteopathy is safe for all age groups.
What conditions do Osteopaths commonly treat? - Headaches, Migraines - Spinal misalignment - Back pain - Neck and shoulder pain - Heel / foot pain - Sciatica - Joint discomfort - Arthritis - Sports injuries - Restricted mobility - Repetitive strain injury - Whiplash - Postural problems but also: - Tennis elbow - Carpal tunnel syndrome - Asthma - Digestive problems‌ and more.

Connect Air Conditioning Based in Caleta de Velez and covering the whole of the Axarquia region we provide a friendly and professional service with high standards of work supplying quality branded A+ inverters
COOL - 18 - AUTO FAN OR COOL - 22AUTO FAN it is blowing the same temperature but it’s not working as hard therefore using less electricity. Each degree you raise the temp in summer could save 3-5% of energy.
We take the time to find the right machine for your exact needs but also that suits your budget.
Renting In Spain the law states that if you rent your property out for short term rents you must supply heating and cooling. The biggest problem occurs when guests turn on the a/c and go out for the day thus leaving you with a big electricity bill. The solution is to introduce Ecosense which in a nutshell monitors a room for movement and if none is detected within a certain time period that you select, (usually one hour) Ecosense will switch off the machine. These sensors are mains powered and tamper proof. We can also add on wireless window/door sensors. In addition to Ecosense we can supply Eco remotes which we program so your clients can only access certain temperatures and fan speeds so your a/c will not be running flat out thus saving energy and extending the life of your a/c. For our contact details please see our main advert on page 34
Environment Most A/C systems are using excessive energy to cool or heat, there are several reasons for this such as dirty filters, dirty coils, but the most common is not setting your A/C at the right temperature. For example; most people will put the temperature on the remote in the summer to its lowest, usually 1618 degrees thinking it will blow colder when in fact all that is happening here is that the machine is working harder to achieve a lower room temperature. This reading on your A/C remote is a target room temperature for the machine so for example; if you have a room ambient temp of 26 degrees and you set your A/C on

The Sentinella Cup Last month was the inaugural pool match between Duende’s Bar in Puente don Manuel and Kick Off Sports Bar in Torre del Mar I walked in my local boozer one day and met a pal, Richard from Puente don Manuel. Usually when we meet, if there’s a table, we play a game of pool. During the game Richard laid down a challenge which was that he would bring 7 other guys down from his local, Duende’s, to us in Kick Off and play a pool match, where the winners would receive a trophy, now aptly named. Never one for shirking a challenge, I accepted immediately on behalf of the pub! 1st July at 2pm, the chaps from “The Hills” arrived and the game was on, 8 singles and 4 doubles. The first 2 frames went to the home side only to see Duende’s claw back and after a bit of to and fro-ing, Kick Off led the singles by 5 - 3! After the first doubles 6 - 3 (we couldn’t lose), we hadn’t discussed what would happen to the
trophy if it was a draw! 6 - 4, was a comeback on the cards? NO! Boom next match 7 - 4! Kick Off had kicked arse!!! The last match was a dead rubber which we let the away team win, cause thats the kind of guys we are!
It was a fantastic afternoon with a delicious bit of grub supplied by our host Rachelle. The next match is on 5th August in Duende’s where I’m sure they will endeavour to win back the cup! Any other bars out there? It would be great if you could join in! Give me a call, Tony on 664 689 138

La Vegas Facts Las Vegas means “The Meadows” in Spanish
It’s against the law to pawn your dentures in Las Vegas.
In Nevada, there are more than 209,000 slot machines normally operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
More than 110,000 marriage licenses are issued in Las Vegas each year.
The Horseshoe was the first Las Vegas casino to install carpeting. The Stardust was the first hotel in Vegas to add a sports book to its casino.
The silver slipper was the first casino to hire female card dealers on the Las Vegas strip in 1971. It’s estimated that every day Las Vegas casinos give away $3 million of freebies. More than $1 billion per year, just to get customers through their doors. A vagrant once turned a $400 Social Security Cheque into $1.6 million playing blackjack in a Las Vegas casino. The average annual temperature in Las Vegas is 66 degrees.
Las Vegas casinos never use dice with rounded corners. Elvis and Priscilla Presley were married at the original Aladdin hotel. Frank Sinatra was the first Vegas headliner to earn $100,000 per week. According to suppliers, purple is the favourite ink colour in daubers used by Las Vegas Bingo players. Shrimp consumption in Las Vegas is more than 60,000 pounds a day. That’s higher than the rest of the country combined and adds up to 22 million pounds per year. The bell is the oldest symbol still used on today’s slot machines. Nickel slots on the strip pay back anywhere from 86.9% to 92.8% of what they take in.

Monthly Baking Blog By Susan Jane Super Easy Summer Tiramisu It is not just pasta for which we have to thank the Italians. Their sensational Tiramisu – literally “pick me up” is one of the most popular desserts there is. A delicious combination of sponge layers and creamy filling, flavoured (in this case) with seasonal fresh fruits is just to die for! There is such a mouth watering selection of fresh fruit available here at the moment that it would be a shame not to take advantage of all these delicious fresh summer fruits and flavours. So I decided to take this old favourite and add a seasonal twist, to create this fruity version of an Italian classic. This recipe is rich, delicious and is a fabulous way to finish off that summer BBQ with family or friends. It is also super easy – you can quickly whip this delight up in advance, pop in the fridge, where it will chill down and be perfect to serve later.
Ingredients 100g Sponge fingers 500g Mascerpone (or full fat cream cheese) 397g can of Condensed Milk 45ml (3 tbspns) of fruit liqueur to soak the sponge – optional 250g Fresh fruit - strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and redcurrants, peaches, nectarines. Alternatively you may opt for frozen summer fruit.
Instructions 1. If you wish to indulge - soak the sponge with a raspberry chambord (if you have any) or a drop of an alternative fruit liqueur. 2. Place half of the sponge fingers on the bottom of a trifle dish. 3. In a mixing bowl, beat the Condensed Milk and Mascarpone. 4. Smooth half of the cream mixture over the sponge fingers. Use a spatula to smooth out the layer, then top with half of the fruit. 5. Repeat the layers, starting with sponge fingers, cream cheese mixture then fruit. 6. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours. 7. Serve chilled & enjoy

World’s Biggest Swimming Pool The world's biggest outdoor swimming pool holds 66m gallons of water, it is so big you can even sail boats on it! The pool is located at San Alfonso del Mar resort in Chile where a quick dip could well turn into a marathon. It is the size of 20 Olympic-size swimming pools!!
The pool is a man-made lagoon and is set halfway up the country's Pacific coast, in the city of Algarrobo, and is filled with 66 million gallons of crystal clear seawater. The record-breaking dimensions mean visitors can paddle or sail their way around the pool instead of swimming The pool opened in 2006.

UFO A flying object has prompted speculation a UFO has taken to the skies above Cornwall. People across the county have been stunned to see the shimmering black object flying overhead. It has been seen over Truro city centre, Carluddon clay tip, Fistral beach in Newquay, over the A30, above Roche Rock and by a surfer above the sea off the Cornish coast. People have taken to social media in their droves after witnessing the weird object. The first to spot it was surfer Kiefer Krishnan, who caught it on his Go-Pro camera, which he posted on his Instagram account. Also photographer Shayne House spotted the weird object, which appears to disappear and rematerialise, over the A30, also on Monday. He declared on Twitter: "What the?! Is this an alien spacecraft over the A30?" Harry Wild, who works in food marketing, was
the next to upload footage of the unexplained object who saw it over Fistral beach on Monday and asked on Twitter if anyone else had seen it. Many people commented it looked like a swarm of birds or insects. There were three more sightings on Tuesday. Dan Goodwin took to Twitter when he captured footage of "this weirdness" at the clay tip near St Austell. His film was retweeted 78 times. The final sighting, so far, was by a Steph – who goes by the name CocochicBlog – who caught the odd object on her phone above Truro while on the way to a hair appointment. The Eden Project has launched its new Journey Into Space attraction on Thursday, July 27, and wondered if these supposed UFOs had anything to do with that. A spokesman for the attraction said: "It's true we have a galaxy of ways to tell the story of space at Eden this summer. To coin a phrase … 'The truth is out there'."

s Now b e l Ce en & Essex Th David David Essex, born David Albert Cook on 23 July 1947, is a much-loved English musician, singer-songwriter and actor. His father, Albert, was an East End docker and his mother, Olive (née Kemp), was a selftaught pianist and an Irish traveller, descended from Romany gypsies. David was a keen footballer, and was a member of West Ham United Juniors for a while, dreaming of one day being a professional player. He then became interested in music and played drums with a local band, before becoming a singer.
More recently though, he has had an extensive career as an actor, beginning when he played a kind-hearted nomad in an episode of ITV1's 1960s Yorkshire-based drama Heartbeat in 2000. Essex was due to join the cast of soap opera EastEnders in early 2006 as new character Jack Edwards. However, the role was expanded beyond the three weeks planned, and Essex was unable to commit the time. However in January 2011, it was announced that Essex had finally joined the cast as Eddie Moon, father of ‘baddie’ Michael Moon. His first on-screen appearance was on 3 June 2011, and left the square on 6 October 2011 when he left to live in Spain following a major bust-up with his TV East End family. David Essex has five children – two from his first marriage to Maureen Neal, Verity and Danny – and twins with his second wife, Carlotta Christy, named Billy and Kit. More recently, his third wife, Susan Hallam-Wright, whom he married in 2010, gave birth to Sonny.
He made his first record entitled "And the Tears Came Tumbling Down" for the Fontana label in 1965, and then toured with a band called 'David Essex and the Mood Indigo' for two years. He released a further seven singles in the 1960s. Since the 1970s, he has attained 19 Top 40 singles in the UK (including two number ones) and 16 Top 40 albums.

To advertise call 664 210 468 or email sales@thesentinella.com New focus for Palmer EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer, who played Bianca Jackson, has said that although a possible return to Albert Square cannot be ruled out, charity work is currently her main concern. The actress, who relocated to Malibu following her departure from the soap in 2014, said she’s currently concentrating on something closer to her heart. “I’m really focused on my company Commonwealth Lifestyle, which aims to bring together different-minded people and find common ground, to support and create common wealth,” said Palmer. "This includes hosting a series of inspirational breakfasts which are designed to make women feel empowered and share new ideas." Palmer is also an ambassador for cancer charity CLIC Sargent, which helps children and young people. She explained: "The charity provides vital practical and emotional support to children, young people and families affected by a cancer diagnosis. "As a mother myself, I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like to get that news and that’s why this charity is so incredibly important and I’m so passionate about it."
Sinitta still hooked on Simon Singer Sinitta has admitted she still fancies pop industry mogul Simon Cowell and hoped she'd marry him. Sinitta, who began an on-off relationship with Simon in the mid-80s, said in a recent interview: “There’s still sexual chemistry between Simon and I. I still fancy him – there are lots of things I find very attractive about him – and it’s more than just sex. If it were just about sex, our connection would’ve fizzled out years ago.” Sinitta, 53, and Simon, 57, began their 20-year

on-off relationship when she was his first signing as a music boss, and she has previously credited Simon with guiding her career. She added: “I get on really well with Lauren Silverman, Cowell’s current partner and mother of his son Eric. We’re one big, dysfunctional family. I always thought Simon and I would grow up and get married, and there was a period where I thought: damn, that should’ve been me.” “He won’t marry Lauren, though,” she added. “Look at Angelina and Brad – they were together for years and had the perfect family. But as soon as they got married it all went wrong and they got divorced. I think he believes that if something isn’t broke, then don’t fix it.” Downsized Dawn Cuddly comedienne Dawn French, 59, has wowed fans with an impressive seven stone weight loss. French has always been known for her size as well as her comedic talent, but the former is becoming a thing of the past. The actress, known for Vicar of Dibley and Murder Most Horrid, shared an image of her new, slimline shape via Twitter. The actress' dramatic transformation was prompted by a health scare in 2015, when she weighed 19.5 stone. Speaking at the time, she said: "When I was due to have my hysterectomy the doc told me that if I could lose some weight before the op, they would be able to do it via keyhole, and I would recover in three weeks or so. "Otherwise it would be big open surgery, and three months to recover. So, I set about dropping a few stone ."It was grim, but I lost sevenand-a-half stone and could have the keyhole surgery."

& t i u Fr Facts s Veg Mangoe Mangos taste so good that people forget they are also healthy! Discover how the “king of fruits” can help you, plus why monkeys eat mango seeds, together with a few mango cautions and concerns.
Mango leaves help normalise insulin levels in the blood, thus helping diabetes sufferers. The traditional home remedy involves boiling leaves in water, soaking through the night and then consuming the filtered decoction in the morning. Mango fruit also has a relatively low glycemic index (41-60) so moderate quantities will not spike your sugar levels. Mangos are a great source of vitamin E. Even though the popular connection between sex drive and vitamin E was originally created by a mistaken generalisation on rat studies, further research has shown that balanced proper amounts (from whole foods) does help. Papayas are not the only fruit that contain enzymes for breaking down protein. There are several fruits – including mangos – which have this healthful quality. The fibre in mangos also helps digestion and elimination.
Research has shown that the antioxidant compounds in mango fruit have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia and prostate cancers. These compounds include quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat, as well as the abundant enzymes. The high levels of fibre, pectin and vitamin C help to lower serum cholesterol levels, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (the bad stuff). Mangos can be used both internally and externally to benefit the skin. They help clear clogged pores and eliminate pimples. One cup of sliced mangos supplies 25 percent of the needed daily value of vitamin A, which promotes good eyesight and prevents night blindness and dry eyes. The tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid found in the fruit help to maintain the alkali reserve of the body.
Mangos can help sufferers from heatstroke. Juicing the fruit from green mango and mixing with water and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent harm from overheating. From an ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting hot climates is because the strong “sun energy” is burning up your body – particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this process. The generous amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A in mangos, plus 25 different kinds of carotenoids, keep your immune system healthy and strong.

People Who Come And Go It’s just impossible to build in Andalusia now, it seems – so what if you want to build a new house? Recently, due to all the legislation that has been put in place over the last few years to stop random building in the Andalusian countryside, I find myself constantly explaining to clients why they should consider the houses they are looking at to buy for what they are now, and not with imagined large extensions of super-sized swimming pools. It is practically impossible to build on rural land in Andalusia now, and that’s a fact! But what if you do still wish to build from scratch, is it possible? The answer is simple: it depends on the land classification. Land here is divided into urban (residential or industrial usage, for example) and rustic (irrigated or dryland). In most cases it is dryland (non irrigated plots) that attract the foreign house hunters, as this type of land is the cheapest and the plots are larger, but even if there is a house on such plots, extending, adding a garage, or a pool, would in most cases not be permitted by the local authorities. So the key to building from scratch and creating your own, perfect dream home, is to buy residential, urban land. On the whole, these plots are smaller (up to around
1000 square metres) so it is vital to understand this, and these plots are logically more expensive. However, there are opportunities out there to obtain such plots at a reasonable price, and build your dream home, all within the budget of purchasing a ready-made house. Once you have bought your plot, planning permission is usually not a long process (unlike on rustic dryland, where you need, in general, a minimum of 25,000sqm and you would have to prove you need to live at the property in order to work the land, which is practically impossible, and then it takes up to one year to obtain your planning permission, if you are lucky). On urban land it can take around 3 to 4 months to obtain a licence (varies from area to area). So where are these plots? They are around, and if you look in the right places, they are surprisingly beautiful, some close to or overlooking lake Viñuela or lake Bermejales some within walking distance of the sea, or overlooking a town. With a budget of between 150,000 and 400,000€, depending on how ambitious your project is, and the location, this is all possible.

La Vaqueria So August is here and the Summer Holidays truly get under way at last. Of course our Spanish school children finished term time nearly a month ago so the beaches have been filling up and the local pools are full of people enjoying the sun and having fun. The village streets and bar fronts have a few more people in evidence with a feeling of anticipation... everyone waiting for August when friends and family will flock to southern Spain in their thousands Most of the villages in the Axarquia have relatives who, out of necessity during the hunger years travelled to Barcelona and Madrid, and many other cities and countries in search of work. Some of these men actually walked the distance and finally finding work could send money home to their starving families and of course many of the young men met young women, fell in love and did not return to live. In Benamargosa the council estimates that the village almost doubles its inhabitants in August as the descendants of those men return to visit family and friends and many other villages it is the same to a greater or lesser degree.
As I sit here in green and sunny Hampshire writing to you this month it is very much business as normal with another week of term time to go. People are going about their day to day chores before getting ready to take off for that week or two of precious summer holiday... and many of them will be coming to Spain, traditionally for the sun, sea and sangria but these days many of them to visit family too. If you are lucky enough to have visitors due I would suggest a visit to Benamargosa which boasts a large pool, quaint little streets and the very popular old village dairy La Vaqueria, converted into an arts and craft centre and restaurant. The home of artist Su Derrick is an inviting and charming way to spend the afternoon or evening and we look forward to welcoming you and serving your lunch, supper or a morning refreshment with some homemade cake. Wherever you are holidaying this year stay safe, have fun and my advice... leave your mobile phone and all internet connecting devices at home!!!!!! See main advert below

Buddy, Andie and Precious are back to discover that the mayor of Oakton City is cracking one big hustle to build a giant yet quite-shabby and purposely disappointing amusement park, which in turn will bulldoze their home, which is the city park, and it's up to them and the rest of the park animals to stop the mayor, along with his daughter and a mad animal control officer from getting away with his scheme, and take back the park. The original movie was ok (and scarier than advertised!), but kids will probably still want to see the sequel. Expect some potty humour and lots of the usual cartoonish violence.

Please mention The Sentinella when responding to adverts Jasmine is a very famous flower. It has a strong yet sweet, pleasing and romantic fragrance, which is very common in flowers which bloom only at night. Girls are often named “Jasmine”, primarily in the Middle Eastern region and the Indian Subcontinent but also in other parts of the world. The oil is extracted from the plant’s white flowers which blossom during the night. Jasmine is a valued flower and in Pakistan it has been named the National flower while the Hindus in India regard jasmine as a holy flower. Jasmine essential oil is widely used for its fragrance in the perfume and cosmetic industries where it lends its scent to shampoos and soap. There are many health benefits of using Jasmine oil listed below: Antidepressant: The aroma of jasmine essential oil has a pleasing and uplifting effect on the mind and actively fights depression. Antiseptic: It is also a very good antiseptic and disinfectant. When externally applied to wounds, it prevents them from becoming septic.
Esse ntial Oils Jas
Aphrodisiac: This oil puts people in the min mood for love and e also enhances your libido and feelings of sexual desire.
Oil
Expectorant: It provides relief from coughs by helping clear out the accumulation of phlegm in the respiratory tracts. Other Benefits: It can also be used to free people from narcotic and other addictions. Caution: Pregnant women before the actual birthing stage should avoid using Jasmine oil as it is highly relaxing and sedating.

Animal Cruelty From A Legal & Policing Point Of View There is a well-structured system of laws for animal protection and welfare in Spain. On the one hand, the central government is responsible for the laws related to wildlife protection, sanctions for animal abuse at all levels, sanitary requirements for domestic and farm animals as well as special laws intended to regulate the ownership of potentially aggressive domestic animals On the other hand, the autonomous regions and the town halls have specific laws related to the protection and the welfare of domestic animals with a local application.
6. Keep the pet permanently attached or confined to a restricted space (with specific exceptions considered by law). 7. To donate pets in the purpose of publicity, as prizes or any form of compensation other than the conscious and responsible purchase by the owner. 8. To use the pet in experiments against current legislation. 9. To sell pets to persons under 16 years of age or to incapacitated persons.
The person caring for a pet has the following obligations:
10. To sell pets outside regulated and designated areas.
1. Keep the animal in good sanitary and hygienic conditions, apply all compulsory veterinary treatments and assist the pet with the help of a qualified veterinarian.
11. To give to the animal any kind of substances creating unnecessary suffering or any kind of unauthorised substance in particular during a competition.
2. Give the pet a suitable accommodation in relation to its size, race and species. Feed it with a suitable diet for healthy development.
12. To force an animal of less than 6 month old, ill, tired, malnourished or pregnant, to work.
3. Protect the pet from aggressions, dangerous situations or discomfort from other animals or people. 4. Prevent the pet from attacking other animals or people, as well from creating any kind of damage. 5. Report the loss of the pet to the authorities. Additionally the law forbids: 1. To mistreat, physically aggress or any other practice provoking suffering or unjustified damage. 2. The abandonment of the animal. 3. To keep the pet in a place or site unsuitable from the hygienic point of view or in relation to its size, race, species and care needed. 4. The practice of aesthetical mutilations. 5.

Mooning Gnomes A council has ordered an elderly gardener to remove his two garden gnomes under health and safety rules - because they moon at passers by. Laurence Perry, 77, erected the two cheeky ornaments of gnomes baring their backside on a grass verge outside his home in a bid to cheer up his neighbourhood. But he got a letter from officials claimthe ing g n o m e s could cause a ‘distraction’ to motorists as they light up at night and warned they would cause an accident. They told Mr Perry to clear the offending items within seven days or workmen would be called out to remove them - and bill the pensioner. Mr Perry, who lives in the village of Wistaton near Nantwich, Cheshire, said: “I feel very dis-
appointed. My daughter bought them for Father’s Day as a bit of fun as she knows I like a laugh. “I’ve worked with others for four years to turn a piece of land which had been left overgrown, covered in broken bottles and bricks, into a more attractive area. “It’s all been self-funded as we were turned down for funding by the parish council . “We even bought the sign that says ‘Wonderful Wistaston’ – now I feel like replacing it with one that says ‘Miserable Wistaston’ A Cheshire East Council spokesman said: “While we do not wish to spoil people’s fun, there is a safety issue here as such objects could easily cause a distraction to motorists and other road users, leading to an accident. “We received a complaint about these ornaments which, while seemingly harmless, are designed to attract attention and light up at night. “Therefore, we have to take steps to have them removed in the interests of road safety and the safety of pedestrians.” Bah bumbug!!!

s e p o c Horos by Juanita Banana of www.AbsoluteAxarquia.com ARIES: March 21-April 20 September is an excellent time for Arians, especially in partnerships of a non-economic foundation. Beware of loaning money this month and deal quickly with health issues particularly stomach or throat related TAURUS: April 21-May 21 As summer comes to a leisurely end, Taureans will still need to be mindful of skin/sun related issues and take care of over exposure. You’ll be tempted to spend unnecessarily – think thrice before purchasing or splashing out on too many expensive meals! GEMINI: May 22-June 21 Take things slowly during September Gemini, carefully thinking through work projects and plans for the future. Use prudence and common sense in finances and disregard gossip pertaining to friends and colleagues CANCER: June 22-July 22 A time of reflection for Cancerians. Past grudges should remain historic while remembering the positive and forgetting the negative and not so good. There are opportunities for promotion and changes within your working sphere LEO: July 23-August 23 Be prepared for someone special to declare their feelings this month and be sure your responses are genuine. September is a good time to introduce, or bring to fruition, a project you have been working on VIRGO: August 24-September 22 A passionate and intense month to which you should take care to add caution and responsibility! Think about your true wishes and ambitions and let the uni-
verse show you the way LIBRA: September 23 - October 22 Whether in a relationship or living solo, September presents harmonious times for Librans with interesting opportunities. A female family member will come up trumps with ideas and funding for projects SCORPIO: October 23 - November 21 Unexpected opportunities and challenges will be presented if you chose to recognise them and take them on. Time off is advised, away from work and associated planning, to boost your mental and physical wellbeing. News from abroad is positive SAGITTARIUS: November 22 - December 21 Find time to relax and escape between routine tasks and work deadlines. Don’t allow stress to overwhelm your significant efforts and great results. Get out and enjoy time with friends CAPRICORN: December 22 - January 20 As the end of a cycle approaches, with new beginnings imminent, take time out to replenish energy and keep up with your own plans. This is an exciting time for Capricorns AQUARIUS: January 21 - February 19 Unresolved and unnecessary jealousies can threaten your relationships, personal and professional, this month. Be aware of any surrounding negativity so you may better deal with it PISCES: February 20 - March 20 A difficult task for Pisceans but you will benefit from listening to advice from close family members and friends, particularly where potential loss of property or finance is concerned. A good time to begin projects and make proposals
