m Fro Ed... the It’s been an interesting but all-too-fast summer for me. Living so close to Torre del Mar has given me more opportunity to take a leisurely stroll into town to experience some of the fantastic events that have taken place.

Although Torre del Mar is fabulous and the place to be, it’s always nice to escape from the hustle and bustle a little further afield and make some relaxing and chilling time.

My birthday treat this year — thanks to Costa Boat Trips — was a magnificent day-long trip to Maro aboard ‘Invictus’ with a good friend and the kids. What an amazing time we all had.

It was an early start for me, leaving the harbour of Caleta de Velez at around 9.30am.

We headed off at speed towards Torrox. We couldn’t have picked a better day — so calm and still and not a wave in sight; the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful scenery from the sea.

Once in Torrox we stopped for breakfast for a sandwich or two. My friend had decided to make enough sandwiches to last us a week on board — not just a day trip. However, they were very yummy and went down a treat from beginning to end. After breakfast we continued along the coast and arrived at our destination of Maro. But lo and behold, the jellies were out in true force. It’s such a shame that they seem to be taking over the Mediterranean this summer and stopping us from being able to swim happily in the sea with no fear of being stung. By this point, we were all so hot and in desperate need of cooling off so we dunked in but made sure one of us was always on jellyfish guard, catching any that came close to us.

The views from Burriana to Maro were so beautiful and in Maro, the water was so clear.

We could see the rocks on the bottom, the fish — and of course, those pesky jellyfish!

Unfortunately, due to the jellyfish, we did not

Strange News stay in Maro for too long and then headed a bit further up the coast to La Herradura, Marina del Este, a lovely marina with some amazing boats moored up. We had a couple of birthday bevies in the marina, then started to make our way back home, stopping every now and again to eat yet more sandwiches, salad, cous cous etc… and to cool off.

We had an absolutely amazing day and Costa Boat Trips were fantastic as always, letting us decide what we wanted to do on the day.

I will just end on this note: when on a boat trip, do not pack cous cous as part of your picnic — especially if trying to eat it whilst the boat is travelling at speed. The results are very funny — but messy!

Turn to page 78 to see some of the pictures from the day.

Have a great month x

EU stink SPAIN has been fined €12 million by the EU for failing to deal with its sewage water properly – and the majority of offending towns are in Andalucia.

The European Court of Justice announced the penalty after ‘prolonged failure’ to comply with a European directive on urban waste water collection and treatment.

It comes after a 2011 judgement found there were still 43 towns with 15,000 people or more which failed to meet EU standards, despite member states vowing to have adequate systems in place from 2001.

Spain will now have to pay €11 million for every six-month period of delay in improving the municipalities’ water treatment systems, and these could total in excess of €88million.

Seven of the nine offending towns are in Andalucía — Matalascanas, Alhaurin el Grande, Isla Cristina, Tarifa, Coin, Nerja and Barbate.

Uh-oh…

Condom manufacturer Durex has recalled certain batches of its Real Feel and latex-free condoms over fears they could split.

The company said the products were failing to pass its ‘stringent’ shelf-life tests, and may become unsafe to use as they approach their expiry date.

Ten batches with expiry dates between December 2020 and February 2021 have been recalled.

A spokesman for Durex said: ‘Our condoms are intended to provide a method of contraception and prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) through a non-latex barrier that offers a benefit to consumers sensitive to latex.

‘There could be an increase in the number of condoms from these batches that burst during application or use.’

The company referred customers to the p roduct’s warning label advising them to seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible — and no later than 72 hours — if a condom leaks or bursts during use. It added there was no immediate safety concern but it had decided to recall the products after consulting with the relevant regulatory authorities.

A full list of the batches under recall can be found on the Durex website.

Strange News (Continued) Plain ungrateful!

A tree surgeon found out no good deed goes unpunished after getting attacked by a cat he saved.

Joseph Lines, 43, climbed a 50ft oak tree in Creekmoor, near Poole, Dorset, to retrieve the animal. The cat’s owner had asked for help on Facebook after her pet got stuck in branches for three days.

But when Mr Lines made it to the top of the tree, he was attacked. ‘The cat was scratching and biting my arm; she bit right into it,’ he said. ‘It just tracked all the way down to my wrist and made it swell up.’

He was left hospitalised for five days after the bite became infected.

Mr Lines, who has been working as a tree surgeon for 20 years, had initially been given a tetanus jab after visiting A&E in Bournemouth Hospital. He added: ‘It was then diagnosed as cellulitis — they had to put me on IV antibiotics.’

He then added he would not do anything differently, joking: ‘With all the risks of rescuing the cat from the tree, the cat is really the last thing you think of as being a danger.

‘The fire brigade and RSPCA had both

refused to help. I don’t know how much longer the cat would have survived being stuck without food and water; it was really hot that weekend.

‘The only reason she attacked me was because she was scared.’

Shark-napped A man was arrested after trying to steal a shark by making it look like a baby. The unnamed thief took the shark from a petting tank at the San Antonio Aquarium, USA, then wrapped it up to look like a baby before wheeling it out in a pram.

Footage from inside the aquarium shows two men and a woman sneaking the 2ft-3ft gray horn shark from the building. They then put it in a pick-up truck before driving off with it.

Thankfully the shark survived its ordeal and is now back at the aquarium and investigators say the person in custody has been charged.

Police Chief Joseph Salvaggio said he was expecting to charge two others, but no names have been released.

Salvaggio said the truck used in the heist was later recovered.

New Dermaplaning Facial - At The Hair & Beauty Studio I have a very hectic working life running this lovely little magazine, but every now and then, one of my lovely clients will offer me something to get me away from my computer.

There is no down time with this procedure — the only side effect is smooth skin.

This month, Sarah from The Hair and Beauty Studio in Puente don Manuel explained about a new facial she was doing — dermaplaning — and asked me if I would like to come and have a session. Sarah explained that it was a manual exfoliation technique which removes the topmost layer of dead skin cells along with vellus hair, and the process would leave my skin looking and feeling more radiant and rejuvenated. Of course, I was delighted to accept anything to put a bounce back into my step, and so I booked a session.

This procedure removes up to three weeks-worth of dead skin cells that have accumulated and the results last up to four weeks.

I really liked the idea of having a layer of dead skin cells removed, as I have quite dry skin anyway. This sounded like the perfect facial for me.

The results are amazing... your skin looks younger, tighter and more beautiful.

If any of you have had a facial before with Sarah and think your face feels amazing afterwards, you will not believe the difference dermaplaning makes.

To begin there was a short questionnaire to complete: standard thing — allergies, when last waxed etc.. Once in the room Sarah talked me through the process and started the facial procedure. To be honest, I was a little sceptical when Sarah put her black gloves and a hat on, and reached for the implement that does the job, but really it was nothing. I didn’t feel much at all — it’s almost as though a nail file was being rubbed against my face, and it was over before I knew it.

Dermaplaning removes those annoying fuzzy vellus hairs.

All these benefits come from a quick and easy procedure which involves a scalpel — note, it doesn't actually cut into your skin!— grazed over your face at an angle of 45 degrees and brushed back and forth for around 30 to 45 minutes. This provides immediate results with no pain.

Dermaplaning is often accompanied by another facial, and Sarah followed mine up with LED light therapy as once the dry skin cells have been removed, the next procedure can really get to the core of your skin, enhancing your appearance even more. The dermaplaning can also be followed up with an apple stem cell facial.

It’s hard to show the results in a photo but below, I hope you can see how my face glows on the right hand side picture but is much more dull-looking on the left.

I was astounded with the results. My skin felt so smooth and soft — glowing was an understatement! I could even see my nose shining, but luckily that’s not a permanent result of the facial.

Some facts about dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning does a very gentle exfoliation that is very good for your skin. Also — contrary to what some people believe — your facial hair won't grow any thicker afterwards.

Dermaplaning is gentler on your face than exfoliation, which is actually pretty rough.

Dermaplaning eliminates fine wrinkles.

For more information on Dermaplaning or any other facials, please call Sarah on 951 204 158 / 654 897 410 she will advise on the best facial to suit your needs.

De Cotta Law PROPERTY INJUNCTIONS - BOUNDARIES DISPUTES

When purchasing such property, your lawyer can ask for a topographical plan and can arrange this with the vendor’s lawyer, or you can choose to make the purchase dependant on the outcome of your own survey. If you already own a property and arrange for a surveyor’s plan which shows a variation, you can return to the Notary and request rectification of the existing deed if the percentage of modification is less than

In Spain, it is possible to obtain court

0.05%.

injunctions where there is evidence that a neighbour is building on part of your property or building without a licence and the construction affects your property rights. For example, if you live in a village house and a neighbour starts to build over a terrace or adjoining a wall affecting your property, you would need to seek legal advice.

An injunction is a civil legal procedure and you can petition the court to make an urgent decision to stop the building work. In many cases you will be asked to lodge funds with the court if the injunction is granted. This procedure applies whilst the construction is ongoing. If you should return to a property and find that work has already been completed, there is a different legal procedure.

Boundary disputes more often arise in rural areas. Where there is no marked boundary or a clear geographical division such as a river bed – arroyo – or track, it can be much more difficult to define or agree a boundary.

For a property consultation, please contact us on info@decottalaw.net or telephone 952 52 7014.

Interesting Facts... This largely-desert country presents a cultural contrast, with an Arab-Berber population to the north and black Africans to the south.

In the Middle Ages Mauritania was the cradle of the Almoravid movement, which spread Islam throughout the region and for a while controlled the Islamic part of Spain.

European traders began to show interest in Mauritania in the 15th century. France gained control of the coastal region in 1817 and in 1904 a formal French protectorate was extended over the territory.

Mauritania is rich in mineral resources, especially iron and ore.

It is seen by the West as a valuable ally in the fight against Islamist militancy in the Sahel region.

Mauritania was one of the last countries to abolish slavery.

Mauritania is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 40% of its population below poverty line.

Essential Oils They may be costlier than the cooking variety, but they are called Essential Oils for an obvious reason - everyone should give them a go.

With the natural ability to enhance our physical well-being, they are certainly ‘essential’ beauty aids in all sense of the word.

From the Egyptian princesses in 3500BC, to British Black Death sufferers in the 17th century, oils have shared many a historical moment.

Perhaps most intriguing though is their outstanding ability to preserve youth. But as well as saying good riddance wrinkles, you can also see a reduction in cellulite and bye bye to boils. In fact the list is endless. Most beauty blunders can be effectively combated with a dab of bottled nature.

Essential oils are extracted from plant leaves, flowers and tree bark, many of which thrive in tropical climates. Bergamot and Benzoin blast away blisters, Rosemary and Cypress destroy dandruff and Lavender and Geranium execute Eczema.

Even obesity can be controlled through the use of these health and beauty necessities.

Fennel, a pale yellow aniseed smelling oil, even fights fat when massaged into the appropriate area.

On the other end of the scale, acne beating Tea Tree oil originating from Australia has a particularly strong medicinal smell. Its use blossomed during World War 2 when soilders carried it in their First Aid Kits to fight infection.

One must buy is Frankincense. The sweet

and spicy smelling hero is extracted from the gum of a small North African Tree and it helps halt the skin’s ageing process.

But sliding in at number one has to be Lavender oil. This colourless liquid which dervies from a shrub can help fight acne, bites, baldness, bruises and chilblains. In fact, you name it, chances are Lavender can beat it. Nowadays millions of people globewide dab, rub and massage the bottled beauty into their bodies, in the quest to become more beautiful. So the general message is this: Chuck out those chemical filled tubes of greasy gunk and invest in the natural alternative. But with such a vast choice, picking the right oils can be a daunting task.

Make sure you buy the correct oil by checking out this useful chart.

Oil Chart Bergamot - Boils Benzoin - Blisters, dry skin Cedarwood - Oily skin, dandruff Cypress - Dandruff, varicose veins, cellulite Fennel - Bloated belly Frankinscense - Acne scarring, ageing skin, cracked skin Geranium - Eczema, lice, blotchy skin Lavender - Acne, baldness, bites, bruises, burns, chilblains, cuts, eczema, even paranoia and worry.

Lemon - Warts, verrucas Neroli - Broken veins, stretch marks Patchouli - Cracked skin, scars Rosemary - Baldness, chilblains, dandruff Tea Tree - Acne, mouth ulcers **Please note** With the exception of Lavender and Tea Tree oil none of the oils mentioned in the passage above should be applied directly to the skin. Dilute with base oil before use.

That Green Thing The youngsters just don’t understand....

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment.

The woman apologised to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days."

The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."

The older lady said that she was right our generation didn't have the "green thing" in its day. The older lady went on to explain: Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the shop. The shop sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilised and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.

Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household rubbish bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books.

This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalise our books on the brown paper bags. But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then.

We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building.

We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go down 2 streets. But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day.

Back then we washed the baby's nappies because we didn't have the throw away kind.

We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 watts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or

sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.

Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the Yorkshire. In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us.

When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power.

We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then.

We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.

Back then, people took the tram or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their mums into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's £45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the "green thing." We had one electrical socket in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerised gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.

But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then?

We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to annoy us...

Especially from a tattooed, multiple pierced smartass who can't make change without the cash register telling them how much.

Now, if you are under 30 years old, please don’t think that the older generation didn’t have “THE GREEN THING!!!”

What’s The Difference Between Hemp Oil & CBD Oil? HEMP and CANNABIS both come from the same plant Cannabis Sativa L. The only difference between them is their use, here we explain.

The term ‘hemp’ commonly refers to the industrial/commercial use of the cannabis stalk and seeds for textiles, foods, oils, papers, body care products, detergents, plastics and building materials. The term ‘marihuana’ or ‘cannabis’ refers either to the medicinal or recreational use. Hemp fiber is the longest, strongest and most durable of all natural fibers. Also, hemp cultivation requires no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. In fact when talking about Cannabis Sativa L. we are referring to both; "Hemp" and "Marihuana".

Hemp seed oil is considered a healthy, nutritionally-balanced oil, Hemp seed oil is also rich in cholesterol-lowering plant sterols, it is also used in the kitchen for its nutty, earthy flavour and used to make soaps, skin lotions, shampoo and bio-fuels. CBD is a substance classed as a cannabinoid, which is extracted from the flowers and leaves of

non-drug strains of industrial hemp. These strains have been bred to produce naturally high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) but very low levels of the psychoactive cannabinoid (THC) found in medical marijuana. As cannabidiol is oil-soluble, it is combined with oils (eg; olive oil, coconut oil, hemp seed oil) to produce cannabidiol oil for optimum absorption into the body. CBD is not psychoactive and does not produce a ‘high’ but it does have beneficial relaxing effects. Cannabidiol oil is increasingly used as a food supplement to promote general feelings of well-being, especially if you are experiencing stress, anxiety or general aches and pains. All of our CHAKANNA CBD'S are guaranteed and qualified and we are proud to say that everyday more and more people are changing their lives and that’s our greatest achievement. We will keep working to give all of our users the best therapy we can.

A-Z Of Spain Following on from The Sentinella’s journey through the alphabet to discover the joys of Spain. This month we take a look at what makes Spain ‘B’.

Bullfighting - This is one of Spain’s most traditional customs, which could not exist without the Toro Bravo, a species of bull that is only conserved here.

Bulls played an important part with Iberian tribes living in Spain during pre-historical times. In the province of Soria - close to Numancia - there stands a conserved plaza building where it is thought that bulls were sacrificed to Gods.

During the middle-ages it was the done thing that aristocracy rode on horseback to fight bulls, known as ‘suerte de cañas’. In the 18th century this tradition was abandoned and the poorer population invented bullfighting by foot, Francisco Romero was a key figure in laying the rules for the new sport, which was better known as ‘La Corrida’.

La Corrida is basically how the fight takes place, but we really don’t want to tak about that, I think we nearly all agree this sport, if you can call it a sport should be banned!

Unbelievably there are 70 bullrings in Andalucia. Seville is the most important in Spain, while La Ronda is the oldest.

Barcelona - This buzzing artistic City is located in the Mediterranean Sea, north of the Spanish coast. It is the second largest City in Spain in terms of both size and population. It is also the Capital of Catalonia, one of the 17 Autonomous Communities that make up Spain.

Barcelona is renowned for being a cosmopolitan, economically active area. Its tendency to stay ahead of the times and boasts a modern stance is made apparent in the architectural excellence of the City.

The ancient monuments of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance periods unveil an old history. However, most of the sheer glory of the town is made evident in works of the last century.

Some of the City’s must-sees include the Gothic Cathedral, built between 1298 and 1450; Palau de la Generalitat, with gothic

stairways; and Nao de Santa Maria del Mar, an accurate replica of Columbus’ ship Santa Maria which took him to Ameria. Visitors should also drop into the Museum Picasso, housed in three beautiful stone mansions on the Carrer de Montcada. Inside visitors will find numerous works from the 1890s. The second floor concentrates on his works from Barcelona and Paris from 1900-1904. The chilling portrait of Senyora Canals (1905) is also on display.

Beaches - There are a staggering 30 kilometres of beaches on the eastern part of the Costa del Sol (Axarquia), stretching from Rincon de la Victoria to the boundary with the Province of Granada. Torre del Mar, Torrox and Nerja have long sandy beaches. And those who prefer no white bits there is a nudist beach at Maro, where the beach is conveniently surrounded by small cliffs. There is also a nudist beach at Almayate. All beaches are located fairly near to the main N-340 road, so it is easy to reach them by bus or car. This side of Malaga is far less cosmopolitan than the likes of Torremolinos and Fuengirola, where the invasion of Brits has turned them into ‘mini-Englands’. Tourists will find east of Malaga retains far more Spanish traditions and culture. Here, beach fronts are riddled with ‘chiringuitos’ (beach bars), serving plenty of fresh shellfish, paella or fried fish. Sardines are cooked by huge bonfires and their smell entices you to sample a portion.

Sailing, fishing, pedalows, scuba diving, padel boarding are popular water sports, while those who prefer to stay on dry land, can take part in all kinds of ball games.

& t i Fru Facts age Veg Cabb d Re

Pecan nuts, with their contoured structure, crunchy texture and buttery flavour, make for an interesting ingredient to include in a number of dishes, and they look pretty on the plate too.

Native to America, these nuts are related to the walnut and are probably one of the most sought-after nuts. They can be tossed in just about anything — plus you can stuff them in peppers with goat cheese or mix them in a salad for some crunch. Pecans pair beautifully with caramel too, so just add a handful on top of a caramel cheesecake, or spruce up an ice cream with a splash of bourbon and candied pecans. You can even add a crumbly pecan topping the next time you bake a coffee cake, or add it to a batch of double chocolate chip cookies.

They offer far more than just a great taste, though. According to a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, pecans contain more antioxidants than any other tree nut, and rank among the top 15 foods with the highest levels of antioxidants. They are also a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals such as manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium, offering some wonderful health benefits.

Pecan nuts contain mono-unsaturated fats, such as oleic acid, along with phenolic antioxidants which help reduce the risk of heart disease. According to the National Pecan Shellers Association, adding a handful of pecan nuts in your diet helps decrease LDL (‘bad cholesterol’) and increase HDL (‘good cholesterol’) which in turn helps to prevent stroke and coronary artery disease.

Since pecan nuts are fibre-packed, they promote colon health and facilitate regular bowel movements. They prevent constipation and reduce the risk of haemorrhoids and colitis by cleaning out the gastro-intestinal system.

Consuming nuts enhances fullness and increases metabolism, and research has

indicated that a diet comprising pecan nuts helps in losing weight. The nuts are also very rich sources of several important B-complex groups of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6 and folates which together help increase the rate of metabolism.

Pecan nuts help protect the human body from cancer due to the anti-proliferative properties of ellagic acid, which inhibit DNA binding of certain carcinogens such as nitrosamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. They also contain oleic acid, a fatty acid which has been found to reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Pecans are rich in magnesium, which is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits.

Studies have proved that increased magnesium intake reduces inflammatory indicators in the body, and also reduces inflammation in the arterial walls — thus reducing the risk of arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease and other inflammatory ailments.

Pecan nuts are an excellent source of vitamins E and A, plus folate and phosphorous which play an important role in maintaining good skin. Their fibre content also aids in eliminating toxins and waste from the body, thereby improving the appearance of your skin. Vitamin A and zinc help achieve a clear complexion and protect against skin infections. Ellagic acid, vitamin A and vitamin E also fight and eliminate the free radicals responsible for causing premature skin ageing.

The History Of Rincon Del La Victoria Three decades ago Rincon de la Victoria was a sleepy fishing town, but it has now developed into a thriving tourist spot.

At 12km from Malaga, the municipality offers something for everybody: hotels, restaurants and bars, 10km of coastline and an excellent gof course. Described by local residents as a ‘dormitory town’, Rincon de la Victoria is a convenient base for those who work in the city but prefer coming home to the coastal setting. It is a popular place for the Spanish to spend the summer months and as a result the population swells at that time of year. For the rest of the year the town retains a laid-back atmosphere, yet offers the tourist or resident a growing choice of places to dine-out.

The Paseo Maritimo, that links La Cala del Moral with Rincon, is seven kilometres long and from here there are wonderful views over Malaga bay. Early morning net fishing on the beaches is a common occurrence in Rincon.

A net of between 40 or 50 metres long is thrown into the water by a group of men, who make a wide circle with it then haul it on to the beach, usually full of fish.

If you’re passing through Rincon on a flying visit take the time to find Cueva del tesoro.

This cave, also known as the Cueva del Higueron is situated on the Cantal Hill, half way between La Cala and Rincon.

Palaeolithic remains from the first Bronze Age have been discovered inside. There is a mythical belief that this was the sanctuary of the Mediterrenean Goddess Noctiluca 2,500 years ago.

Another must-see is the amazing Casa Fuerte Bezmiliana - a defensive fortress dating from the 18th century. It has now been restored and it is currently used for exhibitions and cultural activities. The coat-ofarms on the front is that of Carlos III, and the inside was built to hold troops and horses, with wells and storage space for arms and food.

Whether you’re visiting Rincon for the first time, plan to move there permanently, or simply enjoying a relaxing break there, one thing’s for certain... You won’t be disappointed.

The rest of Drac's Pack cannot resist going along and once they leave port, Dracula meets Captain Ericka (Kathryn Hahn) and romance immediately blossoms.

Now it's Mavis' turn to play the overprotective parent, keeping her dad and Ericka apart.

Little do they know that his "too good to be true" love interest is actually a descendent of Van Helsing, arch nemesis to Dracula and all monsters! While Dracula tries to woo her, she’s using every trick at her disposal to murder him. It always backfires, and it is always, completely hilarious.

s Now ench b e l Ce en & Judi D Th Dame

Dame Judi Dench is undoubtedly one of our best-loved British actresses. During her long career, she has played parts ranging from a young temptress (Cleopatra) to ‘M’ in the James Bond films.

Judi was born in 1934 in York, where she attended Mount School before leaving Yorkshire to study at the Central School of Speech and Drama, where she was a classmate with Vanessa Redgrave.

As a young girl, Judi played an angel in one of the York Mystery Plays and her first stage appearance was as a snail in a play at her Quaker junior school.

She has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre and at the Old Vic. She is a 10-time BAFTA winner — including Best Actress in a Comedy Series for A Fine Romance (1981) in which she appeared with her husband, Michael Williams, to whom she was married for more than 30 years until his death in 2007 — and Best Supporting Actress in A Handful of Dust (1988) and A Room with a View (1985).

She was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1970, a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1988 and a Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour (CH) in 2005.

When Royal Shakespeare Company Director Peter Hall asked Judi to play the title role in a staged — and then later televised — production of Cleopatra, she at first refused, saying that her Cleopatra would be a "menopausal dwarf." Hall was later successful in coaxing her into the role, for which she won rave reviews from both theatre critics and TV audiences.

Her 1999 Oscar was awarded for a six-minute performance in only four scenes as Queen Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love (1998). It is the second-shortest performance ever to win an Oscar.

She was cast to play "Grizabella" in the original West End production of "CATS", but tore her Achilles tendon and was forced to quit the musical. Elaine Paige replaced her.

Judi was the first woman ever to portray the 007 series character "M", which she did in GoldenEye (1995).

She was presented with a special award for her outstanding contribution to British theatre at the 2004 Laurence Olivier Awards, and was voted Best British Actress of all time in a poll for Sky TV the following year..

In a 2004 opinion poll of the Royal Shakespeare Company, her performance as Lady Macbeth in Trevor Nunn's 1976 production of "Macbeth" was voted the second greatest Shakespearean performance of all time. Only Paul Scofield's "King Lear" was ranked higher.

As of 2014, Judi had received seven Oscar nominations — all of them when she was already over the age of 60 and four more than any other actor of that age.

Even after winning so many awards, she still admits to being insecure and wanting to improve the next performance. She says she prefers stage first, television second and film third.

A lifelong animal lover, Judi is the proud owner of a racehorse named Smokey Oakey; she also has a dog, four cats, two guinea pigs and some fish.

She is a staunch supporter of Everton Football Club and has been named as a patron of the soccer team's official charity "Everton in the Community".

To advertise call 664 210 468 or email sales@thesentinella.com Debt dodging Katie Price and a topless Kris Boyson have been flaunting their love as they celebrated her avoidance of bankruptcy.

The former glamour model's new man took to Instagram to share their latest loved-up snap.

Kris, 29, and Katie, 40, are pictured outside what appears to be a beach bar, meaning the snap could have been taken during their recent trip to Thailand.

The pictures come after mum-of-five Katie swerved bankruptcy after being given 12 weeks to pay off her crippling debts.

Katie — once worth £45 million — was given an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement), which gives her until October 30 to detail how she plans to pay what she owes.

She is reportedly £100,000 behind on the mortgage for her rundown £2 million mansion, and is also said to have five county court judgements totalling more than £25,000 against her name.

OJ in demand OJ Simpson has said 'being a felon ain't all bad' as he was treated ‘like royalty' by fans who begged for selfies.

The former footballer was recently released from prison after serving nine years for kidnapping in a botched armed robbery attempt, and was apparently being mobbed in Las Vegas by adoring fans who begged him for selfies, autographs and high-fives.

The 71-year-old had been trying to recover his old football memorabilia from a Las Vegas hotel room.

OJ, who was acquitted for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, was then found liable for wrongful death at a civil trial.

In a video posted by TMZ , OJ is seen larking around with a fan.

The camera reveals OJ, who says: "Being a felon ain't all bad."

TMZ also posted a video of people lining up to get pictures with the disgraced star.

Bitter battle The divorce of former Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who split two years ago, has taken a bitter twist after the actress accused her ex of paying hardly

any child support.

The Maleficent star has now accused her former husband in court of failing to provide any "meaningful" cash for their six kids. She is planning to seek a court order to force him to pay up. "[Pitt] has a duty to pay child support.

As of present, he has paid no meaningful child support since separation," wrote Jolie's attorney, Samantha Bley DeJean, in papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Pitt has yet to respond to Jolie’s claims.

Under California law, each parent is responsible for providing for the children based upon the agreement reached between the couple.

It is not clear what, if any, agreement Pitt and Jolie have reached.

Thirst For Health In these hot summer months we all know we must take on more water and stay hydrated, but do we know why.....

Hydration: Why It's So Important.

Your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue, and organ in your body needs water to work properly. For example, your body uses water to maintain its temperature, remove waste, and lubricate your joints. You should drink water every day. However, different people need different amounts of water to stay hydrated. Most healthy people can stay well hydrated by drinking water and other fluids whenever they feel thirsty. For some people, fewer than 8 glasses may be enough. Other people may need more than 8 glasses each day. If you are concerned that you are not drinking enough water, check your urine. If your urine is usually colourless or light yellow, you are well hydrated. If your urine is a dark yellow or amber colour, you may be dehydrated.

Water is best for staying hydrated. Other drinks and foods can help you stay hydrated.

However, some may add extra calories from

sugar to your diet. Fruit and vegetable juices, milk, and herbal teas add to the amount of water you get each day.

Even caffeinated drinks (for example, coffee, tea, and soda) can contribute to your daily water intake. A moderate amount of caffeine (200 to 300 milligrams) is not harmful for most people. This is about the amount in 2 to 4, 8-ounce cups of coffee. However, it’s best to limit caffeinated drinks. Caffeine may cause some people to urinate more frequently, or feel anxious or jittery.

Sports drinks can be helpful if you are planning on exercising at higher than normal levels for more than an hour. It contains carbohydrates and electrolytes that can increase your energy. It helps your body absorb water.

Record Breakers Have you ever dreamt of your name appearing in the Guinness Book of World Records? Why not inhale some inspiration from this crazy cluster of clever clogs.

Fran Capo... Fastest talking female spoke 603 words in 54.2 seconds. That's 11 words a second! It must have just sounded like a hum.

Christian Adams... Cycling backwards.

Christian cycled backwards playing the violin for five hours and nine minutes. Pure insanity.

John Evans... This chap can balance any object on his head to a weight of 400lbs for several seconds. In the past John has balanced the following on his head: A girl inside a flaming 40 gallon barrel while the outside was on fire; 96 milk crates; 101 house bricks; Chevy car weighing 350lb; Mini Cooper; 235 pints of beer; two girls on bicycles and 92 people. Maybe the man should just buy himself a hat and be done with it!

Dean Gould... Man of all records. Dean is a bit of a demon when it comes to record breaking. He is one of the most well known Record Breakers of all time. Here is a selection of his best achievements: Flipping 45 beer mats in each hand simultaneously; 169 flips of one pancake in one minute; munching six 20g bags of crisps in four minutes 21 seconds and eating 43 beans with a cocktail stick individually from a plate in one minute.

Ralk Laue... A rather clever bunny is Ralf. He has solved three rubik’s cubes blind folded in five minutes 42 seconds. Most of us haven’t managed to solve one side of a cube in our lifetime.

David Downes...A strange one this. Dean gets his kicks from balancing objects on his chin. In the past he has balanced a 7ft ladder, a 7ft Christmas tree and a 10lb 8oz kitchen sink on his chin, all for different amounts of time.

People Who Come And Go - Casey & Mike’s New Adventure The ancient and historic, rambling house known as La Casona, in the remote Granadino village of Jayena in stunning countryside, has been on the market on and off for about a year. When I initially put it on Facebook, it attracted plenty of oohs and aghs as it is really really special! I always wondered who would finally buy this house, not just a house, but the promise of an adventure, a project and a new way of life.

And then two spirited fifty-something youngsters, Casey and Mike, sprung onto the scene and snapped it up!

“I saw the house on A Place in the Sun, as I was fed up with looking for somewhere in Lanzarote and not being able to afford what I wanted” Casey tells me. “Yes the amazing price attracted me to the house but also some of its features, like the marble staircase, the rooftop tower and the stunning, ancient, original painted tiles. I completely fell in love with it! It’s big but unloved and I feel it needs me as much as I need it!”

Casey and Mike intend to move lock stock and barrel to this tumbledown, decaying mansion in October this year. “Obviously we

are too young to retire and we need an income but neither of us are happy in our jobs so the house would hopefully provide us with an income to live on and give us a project to work on together.” They believe this change of life will be therapeutic. “After hard times recently in our lives back in the UK, repairing cracks in our new Spanish house will hopefully seal our own cracks too.”

Good luck to you both, we will be watching to see what you do to it! See the Unspoilt Andalusia Facebook page for more photos and follow their progress.

A Murder Most Spanish By Jefferson Bonar Why don’t the Spanish like Murder Mysteries?

Being a novelist, I’m very aware that for every country I’ve lived in, there is a particular genre of television or books that seems to resonate more deeply. For example, America is known the world over for one-hour dramas.

They are the king.

I would say comedy is probably best known in Britain. Yes, these are broad generalisations, but I’m making a point here.

I’ve been here in Spain for about three years now, and have watched as much Spanish television as I can find subtitles for. I’ve seen dramas (sloooow), comedies (wow do the Spanish love zaniness), sci-fi (meh), and various others. I’ve swashbuckled my way through Arturo Perez-Reverte books, puzzled my way through Carlos Ruiz Zafon, and slogged through the Umberto Eco-esque history textbooks that are Ildefonso Falcones novels.

After all that, it seems historical dramas are the “thing” here.

The Spanish are crazy for them. The thicker and more detailed the better.

Anything that makes history come alive.

Character development and pacey plots help, but are not required.

It’s detail. And when you really dig into Spain’s history, you realise why. There is so much of it. And so much of it affected the entire globe.

But you know what the Spanish don’t like?

Murder mysteries, which is why no Spanish novelists really write them to the degree the English do. This is something I probably should have researched before I spent the past year writing my own murder mystery novel set in Spain, foolishly thinking I had found a gap in the market. As it turns out, what I had actually found was a gap in my understanding of Spanish culture.

Jefferson Bonar is the author of A Murder Most Spanish, the first in a series of mystery novels set in 17th-century Spain.

Ebook and paperback editions are available at Amazon.

Danny Malaga R.I.P DANNY MALAGA 1969-2018 Nerja lost one of its most colourful characters on 9th August when Danny Malaga, assistant manager at the town centre sports bar El Bosque died suddenly in hospital, aged 49.

Danny (real name Gary Dancaster), had been serving drinks to countless locals and holidaymakers for many years. His funeral was one of the biggest seen among the expat community for some time, with hundreds gathering at the new Tanatorio Esperanza in Nerja to hear Brian Wise, manager of El Bosque, and Danny's friends from childhood Chris and Nigel Matthews, paying tribute to his life. Behind the sometimes gruff exterior beat a heart of gold, as anyone who knew Danny quickly found out. He was an avid Aston Villa fan - many of the youngsters at his funeral wore Villa shirts in his honour – with a tribute paid to him in the programme and on

the big screen at the match between Villa and Sheffield United on 1st September.

Danny also loved his music, darts and his annual trips to Blackpool. He will be sadly missed.

Gary's family and friends would like to thank everyone who attended the funeral and wake and for the love and support they felt during their time in Nerja, and they would like to say a special thank you to Maria who not only helped Gary during this time she also provided us with so much help and support through a very sad time. Thank you Maria x

Axarquia Sports Page TorreTorrox Golf Society played its monthly competition at Alhaurin Golf Course in August. Alhaurin is an 18-hole, par-72 and 5,712 metre length course situated in the heart of the Costa Del Sol, above Fuengirola and Mijas Costa, midway from Malaga and Marbella.

Alhaurin Golf is a Seve Ballesteros designed course in a truly natural setting with astonishing views over the Mijas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Fairways adapt to the ups and downs of the hilly terrain and greens are well protected. Hole number 6 is unique, starting with an impressive high position tee shot and continuing through a dogleg right fairway on a hill top. Astonishing views go with it. This course encourages players to use every club in their bag and assures a day of golf where every hole is different. The vegetation is a sample of Mediterranean forest of pine trees, oaks, cypresses, orange trees and a wide range of shrubbery. The practice facilities are without any doubt the best on the Costa del Sol. The winner on the day with an impressive 37 points was Mark Pownall followed closely by

the Ginger Nutter aka Shane Townsend and then third was Mr Gary Miles. In the shortest drive competition first, second and third were Hugh Janus, Wayne King and Ivor Biggin.... well done gentlemen. The two Closest to the Pin competitions where won by David Brooks and Mark Pownall... again.

The ‘’Thanks for Turning Up’’ was won by Mr Chris Stevenson (in photo) who also won the Twos prize by getting a Hole In One!! That is the reason why even after a bad round a golfer will come back again, as somewhere in the bad round he hit a shot Tiger Woods would have been proud of!

The next competition is on the first Saturday in September at El Chapparral Golf Club, so if you want to play, look us up on Facebook and make contact to get your name down.

The Flavours Of Lebanon Lebanon is located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. Lebanese cuisine is very popular and can now be found around the world, along with Lebanese wines, which have been produced for thousands of years.

Multi award-winning Noura has several restaurant venues and enjoys an enviable reputation for cuisine quality and service.

Noura was founded in 1999 and offers cuisine to an exceptional standard. Hot and cold mezze dishes are very flavoursome and

extremely popular, having guests returning regularly.

From the different menus, including traditional and gourmet, mezze choices can include Hoummos, Moutabbal, Tabbouleh, Vine Leaves, Arayess, Sojok, Falafel and many more. Table settings are pristine and all cuisine is presented very impressively, indeed. Main courses have complementing flavours for succulent Lamb or Chicken Chawarma, plus Mixed Grill and Farrouj Meshwi (half a boneless marinated chicken, charcoal grilled), Dover Sole, Sea Bass and much more – so something for everyone. An array of soups, sides and salads are an additional, favoured enjoyment.

Desserts offer Baklawa (layered pastries with almonds, pistachios or pine kernels), through Atayef (Lebanese blinis

filled with ashta clotted cream served with syrup), to Aish El Saraya – a caramelised bread pudding delight!

If time is pressing then ‘lighter’ options are available, still incorporating a selection of mezze dishes, plus Dish of the Day or Mixed Grill and coffee. All dietary requirements are catered for and parties, events and occasions all planned to personal requests. Catering for businesses and private receptions is available, too. An excellent drinks menu

includes high-quality wines from Lebanon.

Lebanese reds (and whites) complement the cuisine, perfectly. Chateau Khoury and Chateau Musar productions are amongst a splendid list and have many ‘devotees’.

Whether sightseeing, theatre visit (Pre-theatre dining is very popular) or ‘retail therapy’ is being experienced, Noura provides that quality break which is often required.

Exceptional cuisine, to a high standard, with very efficient, friendly service. Pleasant background music adds to the ambience, perfectly.

Booking is advisable, particularly at popular times.

) : a h a Jokes h Thanks to MP for the following jokes...

“Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don’t point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?”

------------------------------------------------------------Sinéad O'Connor has offered to sing the Prince classic at Barry Chuckle's funeral.

Nothing Compares 2 you 2 me.....

------------------------------------------------------------Schizophrenics........how do they live with themselves.

------------------------------------------------------------Why are there so many female archeologists?

Because they love digging up the past!!!

------------------------------------------------------------2 chinese men break into a distillery.

One turns to the other and says “Is this whisky?”

The other man says “Yeah but not as whisky as wobbing a bank!”

------------------------------------------------------------I've just been through a security check at the airport and I was asked if I'd left my suitcase unattended at any time?

I said "Yes, its been in the attic for the last 10 months you t***!"

------------------------------------------------------------Picked up a hitchhiker last night.

He said, "Thanks, how do you know I’m not a serial killer?"

I replied, "The chances of two serial killers being in the same car are astronomical."

------------------------------------------------------------Some Egyptian bloke just pulled up in a BMW, beeped his horn and bared his naked arse out of the window.

Bloody toot and car moon!

------------------------------------------------------------My mate needed a bone marrow transplant.

We found a match in Argentina. The operation was a great success.

Our thanks go out to Diego Marrow Donor!

------------------------------------------------------------So there I was sat in my van. I had kept the house under surveillance for about an hour.

Then there was movement at the front door. I hunched down as much as I could in the van so the woman wouldn’t see me. As she walked up the road and turned the corner I slowly, carefully exited the van. I crossed the road, nervously, aware that at any time someone could notice me or the woman from the house could come back. I launched myself over the garden wall and fell to the ground. My heart was beating in anticipation of someone shouting out to me. I crawled slowly to the door. Once there I looked around once more to check my surroundings.

Then I lifted the letterbox slowly and quietly.

Once my work was done, I slowly closed the letter box aware that any sound might disturb someone and make them come to the door. I then jumped up and ran for my life, jumped into the van and drove off at speed away from the scene. And another ‘Sorry you were out’ card is successfully delivered. Proud to be Royal Mail.

------------------------------------------------------------When a woman reaches a certain age, she starts to collect dogs.

This is called Many Paws.

------------------------------------------------------------Boots chemists are doing 3 for 2 on all hearing aids.

Who the f*** has 3 ears?

------------------------------------------------------------I went to a Stars Wars themed gym yesterday and was struggling to lift the 5 kilo dumbbells.

"Use the fours" said the guy next to me.

Jokes h a ha :) Bunch of guys walks into a greengrocers in Belfast, knocking pensioners out of their way and upturning fruit & veg on the way to the counter.

The spokesman says to the checkout assistant in an aggressive voice "I want 200 clementines, 150 tangerines, 225 mandarins, 170 satsumas & 300 of your best Sevilles. I'll be back in 10 minutes and it better be ready, or else!"

As soon as they leave the shop the frightened assistant turns to her boss and says "What the hell was that?"

"The orange order" he replied.

------------------------------------------------------------Woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work.

Her 9 year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom cupboard to watch. Just after getting into bed the woman's husband also comes home unexpectedly, she tells her lover to hide in the cupboard, not realising that the little boy is in there.

After a little while the little boy says, 'Dark in here.

The man, who obviously got a real fright not expecting to hear anything, let alone from a little boy says, 'Yes, it is.'

Boy - 'I have a football.'

Man - 'That's nice.'

Boy - 'Want to buy it?'

Man - 'No, thanks.'

Boy - 'My dad's outside.'

Man - 'OK, how much?'

Boy - '250€' In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the cupboard together.

Boy - 'Dark in here.'

Man - 'Yes, it is.'

Boy - 'I have football boots.'

The lover, remembering the last time, asks

the boy, 'OK How much this time?'

Boy - '750€' Man - 'Sold.'

A few days later, the boys' father says to the boy, 'Grab your boots and football, let's go outside and have a game of soccer.’

The boy says, 'I can't, I sold my ball and boots.'

The father asks, 'How much did you sell them for and to who?'

The boy says, 'To a friend of mine for a 1,000€' The father says, 'That's a terrible thing to do, overcharging your friend like that'. 'That's four times what they cost when they were new, I'm going to take you to church and make you confess your terrible sins.'

They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.

The boy says, 'Dark in here'..

The priest says, 'Don't start that s*** again you little p****, you're in my cupboard now'!!

------------------------------------------------------------How to make a million dollars: First, get a million dollars.

------------------------------------------------------------People who like trance music are very persistent. They don't techno for an answer.

That wasn’t a nice postcard to receive.”

s e p o c s Horo

by Juanita Banana of www.AbsoluteAxarquia.com ARIES: March 21-April 20 Unlock the uniqueness and individuality in your personality and accept your own differences as you accept the differences in those around you. You never have to compete, on any level, when you are so uniquely gifted!

TAURUS: April 21-May 21 No one else can make the choices that you know you must. You can receive guidance but ultimately it must be you that makes the decisions. Eliminate the negative people out of your life that bring you down.

Organise and prioritise for success this month Taurus GEMINI: May 22-June 21 As temperatures drop, it’s time to pad your nest Gemini, leaving no bare patches for the wind to get in. Try saving money – make it a game and be in it to win it. A great period for deep thought and discussion CANCER: June 22-July 22 You’re off to a good start of the month Cancer, with good news and somebody wonderful to share it with. Reign in temptation to overspend on expensive items you really can live without. Indecision on the 9th/10th would benefit from shared discussion

LIBRA: September 23 - October 22 Try not to fell harried by unexpected interruptions and delays to plans, better to go along with it all than get flustered. In fact, take advantage and get away for short beaks if you can – even a walk or a swim would aid in making you feel better than ever SCORPIO: October 23 - November 21 A deep and meaningful conversation puts you back on track to commence something you really, really want, but have been neglecting, to do. Now it’s back on your radar, set your sights high and own it!

SAGITTARIUS: November 22 - December 21 You may be in conflict with a business or life partner, one of you wanting to take action, while the other would prefer to wait or sit by.

Whilst it’s difficult to avoid friction, compromise if possible but go with your own gut instinct CAPRICORN: December 22 - January 20 Although pulled to do so, don’t scatter your attentions, instead concentrate your energies and focus on the one person whose thoughts, feelings and emotions really matter to you right now – it’s ok if that happens to be yourself Capricorn. The 5th/6th are good days to make plans and decisions for the future

LEO: July 23-August 23 Your intuition knows no bounds Leo as a slew of amazing insights come to you.

Grab a pen or device to jot down whatever passes through your consciousness! Beware of falling foul to ego on the 16th/17th and towards the end of September, get in plenty of rest, relaxation and socialising

AQUARIUS: January 21 - February 19 If you’ve overstretched yourself of late, you may be noticing some aches and pains.

Get some exercise, have a massage, let go of emotional stress and make sure to be on top of your sleep schedule. If you come face to face with feelings of disappointment around the 9th/10th, run towards them as a potential wealth of knowledge, rather than away from them

VIRGO: August 24-September 22 It’s time to get in touch and make plans with the folk who mean most to you, then socialise, socialise, socialise! Do your best not to feel like your coworkers were put on this earth just to annoy you on the 20th/21st. Expect some fantastically good news

PISCES: February 20 - March 20 An awesome month for Pisces during which you display an amazing aura.

Everything awaits – romance, fun, mystery, beauty and more. Immerse yourself in an ongoing situation, or series of, be true to yourself but stay open to new possibilities
