PUBLISHER’S NOTE It seems to me that most people on this Costa do not give any consideration to market research before starting a business. It is of no surprise that so many go under. The criteria used seems to be one of copying other businesses because they seem to be doing well.

Doesn´t anyone pay attention to market size?

That is the number of buyers and sellers available for the product?

The Costa del Sol is a small market and the volume of business it can support is limited to its size, which is further reduced by language and consumer level boundaries.

The more competitors the more the size of the market is reduced with the result that a buyer’s market is created. This is when the buyer dictates the price and competitors have to reduce prices to be able to sell.

Add to this the economic crisis and cheap is never cheap enough, there is always someone cheaper. Quality of product and services is then reduced and even lost to cut costs.

So what makes the fish and chip shop owner owner think that he can become another publisher despite the excess of publications around? What makes a bar open near to or next to another? take part of the clients away so neither can make a living?

If you need to go into business do not commit financial suicide, look for the right opportunities, research properly and be sure you can provide the right quality product at the right price.

This year Easter seems to have had more success than last year, the weather certainly helped to bring people to the coast.

The Spanish press reports that the economy in Spain is improving, unfortunately you never know if this is true or just another distorted comment to spur people on. The fact is that wages on the Costa are still poor and visitors have less to spend per capita.

I hope that this time we have touched bottom and are starting to surface, it is unfortunate that it is the working population and businesses that are paying for the blunders of politicians to save the economy. They seem to forget that it is the wealth of the people that creates the wealth of a nation, not the other way around.

Este año la semana santa parece haber tenido más éxito que el año pasado, el buen tiempo sin duda ayudó a los turistas a visitar la costa.

La prensa española informa de que la economía está mejorando en España, por desgracia, nunca se sabe si esto es verdad o sólo otro comentario distorsionado para estimular a la gente. El hecho es que los salarios de la Costa siguen siendo pobres y los visitantes tienen menos para gastar por persona.

Espero que ya hayamos fondo y estemos empezando a resurgir. Es lamentable que la población activa y las empresas estén pagando por los errores de los políticos para salvar la economía. Parecen olvidar que es la riqueza de la gente la que crea la riqueza de una nación, y no al revés.

В этом году празднование Пасхи прошло гораздо активнее, чем в прошлом — хорошая погода поспособствовала повышенному притоку посетителей на побережье.

Испанская пресса сообщает, что экономика Испании растёт. Однако, к сожалению, сложно подтвердить правдоподобность этих, порой далёких от действительности, заявлений целью которых нередко является стимулирование потребительской активности. Факт остаётся фактом — зарплаты на побережье Коста-дель-Соль до сих пор низкие, а туристы тратят меньше на душу населения.

Я надеюсь, что мы наконец-то достигли дна и теперь начинаем подъем вверх. Мне жаль, что работающее население и предприятия платят цену за промахи политиков для спасения экономики. Кажется, что они забыли о том, что это богатство народа является двигателем к богатству нации, а не наоборот.

IN MY OPINION

What noise? It’s fun!

According to a report named “Noise & Health” Spain is the second noisiest country in the world after Japan, exceeding the tolerance limit of 65 dB set by WHO and affecting some 9 million people or 20% of the population.

A survey among school children in the Balearic Islands showed that the hearing level of 10% of the children was below normal.

Another report in Valencia stated that 40% of adults had a significantly poor level of hearing while the average for all of Spain is estimated at 35 percent. This might explain why so often people in Spain shout at each other as opposed to carrying out a quiet conversation.

E.U. legislation has set 65 dB as the maximum acceptable limit of noise a person can tolerate on a daily basis, while levels between 70-125 dB can be painful, and the noise becomes unbearable when reaching 140 dB. A bird singing does not exceed 10 dB, sounding one’s horn may reach 90 dB, and a disco and a motorcycle without muffler may reach 110 and 115 dB, respectively.

According to Antonio Flores, head lawyer at a Spanish law firm, every Town Hall in Spain counts with very specific rules on what is the maximum tolerable noise. These rules are pretty much standardized throughout the country, following the recommendations set by the World Health Organisation. The Town Halls have to act and stop any activity breaching the statutory noise levels.

In the first instance the persons causing the nuisance are responsible, however if the Town Hall does not act, it becomes ultimately responsible. Antonio Flores quotes the “El Copo” case whereby the Andalucian Supreme Court ordered the Velez Malaga Town Hall to compensate 18 inhabitants for damages 12

www.webexpressguide.com

with €5 million for not acting against a pub emitting noises in excess of 120 dB. All the same the fact is that Spain still is the second noisiest country in the world, probably because noise is not taken as seriously as it should, especially in the summer. It is all calm and quiet in winter, but as soon s the weather improves there go the bars with their loud music and karaokes, even in the streets with Town Hall permission; motorbikes with deliberately elevated noise levels; cars hooting even on Sundays early `hours; dogs locked out on balconies barking their heads off; loud motorised sweeping machinery; building noises after 8pm and weekends; but not once have I seen any preventive measures being taken or any motorbike being stopped for disturbing the peace.

On one occasion, while having a supposedly nice quiet meal in a restaurant

IN MY OPINION

with friends, we had to shout at each other because of the loud karaoke in a nearby bar.

In the end I called the local police but they never bothered to turn up. What surprised me is the unreasonable amount of tolerance by the restaurant owner. Was it the case that he knew he’d be wasting his time?

Sound is unwanted when it interferes with normal activities such as sleeping, conversation, or disrupts or diminishes one’s quality of life. Noise pollution is the disturbing or excessive noise that may harm the activity or balance of human or animal life. In addition to hearing loss, high noise levels can contribute to cardiovascular effects in humans, a rise in blood pressure, and an increase in stress and vasoconstriction, and an increased incidence of coronary artery disease.

If there was some respect for other peoples’

rights and if people complained to make sure that their rights to health are protected, I think that Spain may then become a quieter and even more pleasant place to live in.

The following is a guideline to different noise levels:

200dB 190dB 180dB 170dB 160dB 150dB 140dB 130dB 120dB 110dB 100dB 90dB 80dB 70dB 60dB 50dB 40dB 30dB 20dB 10dB 0dB

Учимся курить заново или

Learning to Aprender бросаем? a fumar o smoke or to renunciar? give it up? Los argumentos mas The two controversial arguments about e-cigarettes Make up your own mind.

These are tube shaped devices made to resemble a cigarette. They are battery powered and when sucked on they emit a water vapour laced with nicotine kept in a cartridge within, though it is available with different flavours and no nicotine.

The most effective way to stop smoking is to just stop and I am talking from experience. Unfortunately the addictive nicotine combined with the psychological habit of placing a cigarette in the mouth repeatedly make giving up extremely difficult.

www.webexpressguide.com

controvertidos sobre los cigarrillos electrónicos Saquen sus propias conclusiones.

Se trata de dispositivos tubulares ideados para parecerse a un cigarrillo.

Se alimentan por pilas y cuando se chupan emiten un vapor de agua mezclado con nicotina contenida en un cartucho en su interior, a pesar de que está disponible con diferentes sabores y sin nicotina.

La manera más eficaz para dejar de fumar es simplemente parar y estoy hablando de mi experiencia.

Por desgracia, la adicción a la nicotina combinada con el hábito psicológico de la colocación de un cigarrillo en la boca hacen que renunciar sea extremadamente difícil.

Два спорных довода в отношении электронных сигарет — выводы делайте самостоятельно.

Электронные сигареты — это устройства в форме трубки, изготовленные по прототипу сигарет. Они снабжены батарейкой и при затягивании, испускают пары воды с добавкой никотина, которая помещена во внутренний картридж. В то же время, у покупателя имеется возможность покупки и других вкусовых добавок, не содержащих никотин. По опыту, одним из самых эффективных методов бросить курить является полный отказ от любых видов курения. К сожалению, вызывающий привыкание никотин, наряду с устоявшейся привычкой класть сигарету в рот, превращает преодоление желания закурить очень сложным.

Main feature

It is reported that most scientists believe nicotine itself, while highly addictive, is not the main cause of cancer whereas it’s the toxic chemicals created when tobacco and filler products burn that are dangerous.

Therefore if you can get your nicotine fix without burning, then nicotine becomes as harmless as the addictive caffeine

Se informa que la mayoría de los científicos creen que la nicotina en sí, aunque sea altamente adictiva, no es la causa principal del cáncer mientras que son los productos químicostóxicos que se utilizan en la producción del tabaco y otros derivados los que son peligrosos. Por lo tanto, si usted puede conseguir su dosis de nicotina sin toxicos, la nicotina llega a ser tan inofensiva como la adicción a la cafeína.

Известно, что многие ученые склоняются к мнению, что главной причиной рака является отнюдь не вызывающий привыкание никотин, а опасные токсичные химикаты, образующиеся при горении табака и производных от фильтра. Таким образом, если имеется альтернатива курения никотина без процесса горения, никотин становится таким же безобидным, как и вызывающий привыкание кофеин. Само собой разумеется, что меньшее количество никотина, получаемое потребителем при использовании электронных сигарет, является шагом вперед, по сравнению с токсичными последствиями от курения обычных сигарет.

Quite frankly it stands to reason that the lesser amount of nicotine delivered by e-cigarettes must be an improvement on the toxic effect presented by cigarette smoking.

Francamente es lógico pensar que la menor cantidad de nicotina suministrada por los cigarrillos electrónicos debe ser una mejora sobre el efecto tóxico frente fumar cigarrillos.

Как часто это бывает — нарастающая популярность электронных сигарет порождает новые споры. Противники электронных сигарет настаивают на их запрете, что, конечно, нелепо. Главным объектом данного спора является то, что человек вдыхает субстанции, которые не предназначены для вдыхания в легкие, так как химические соединения, используемые www.webexpressguide.com

15

Main feature

All the same, the increasing popularity of e-cigarettes is also giving rise to other arguments, some of which demand they should be banned, which of course is ridiculous. The argument being that you are inhaling substances not meant to enter your lungs because the chemicals used in the vapour are not fully disclosed. There is no evidence so far that e-cigarette are a health threat so why not ban conventional cigarettes instead? What chemicals are being used in conventional cigarettes?

The other argument is that while there is no evidence that people are quitting to smoke as a result of using e-cigarettes, they express concern that the use of flavours such as candy, bubble gum and chocolate are targeting children and teenagers in order to cultivate a new generation of users.

16

www.webexpressguide.com

De todas maneras, la creciente popularidad de los cigarrillos electrónicos también está dando lugar a otros argumentos, algunos de los cuales exigen su prohibición, que por supuesto es exagerada. Según algunos es porque usted está inhalando sustancias no destinadas a entrar en los pulmones derivadas de productos químicos utilizados en el vapor que no están completamente declarados.

No hay evidencia hasta ahora de que el e-cigarrillo sea una amenaza para la salud ¿por qué no prohibir los cigarrillos convencionales en su lugar? ¿Qué productos químicos están siendo utilizados en los cigarrillos convencionales?

El otro argumento es que, si bien no hay pruebas de que la gente esté dejando de fumar como resultado del uso de los cigarrillos electrónicos, si existe una gran preocupación acerca del uso de sabores como el caramelo, chicle y chocolate. Muchos piensan que estos sabores se dirigen a niños y adolescentes con el fin de cultivar una nueva generación de usuarios.

в парах, не растворены в них полностью. На данный момент у нас нет доказательств, подтверждающих угрозу для здоровья от использования электронных сигарет, так почему же, вместо этого, не ввести бы запрет на использование обычных сигарет? Насколько опасные химические соединения используются в обыкновенных сигаретах? Вторым предметом спора является тот факт, что все больше людей озабочено тем, что продажи сладких вкусовых добавок, таких как: шоколадный, конфетный, вкус жвачки, нацелены на детей и подростков для культивации нового поколения курильщиков. В то же самое время, пока не имеется доказательств того, что потребители электронных сигарет полностью отказываются от курения обычных сигарет.

Американская Ассоциация Врачей вместе с Британской Ассоциацией Медиков,

The American Association of Public Health Physicians and the British Medical Association would seem to admit that there is a possibility smokers can stop with the aid of e-cigarettes as an alternative to patches and other similar products.

While some authorities have banned the sale of this product to the under-aged, according to a report from Well Fargo, e-cigarettes reached $20 million dollars in 2008, $500 million in 2012 projected to $1 billion in 2013, this is still less than 1% of the conventional cigarettes market.

La Asociación Americana de Médicos de Salud Pública y la Asociación Médica Británica parecen admitir que existe la posibilidad de que los fumadores pueden parar de fumar con la ayuda de los cigarrillos electrónicos como una alternativa a los parches y otros productos similares.

Mientras que algunas autoridades han prohibido la venta de este producto a los menores, de acuerdo con un informe de Wells Fargo, los cigarrillos electrónicos alcanzaron 20 millones de dólares en 2008, 500 millones en el 2012 y se espera 1000 millones en 2013, aunque sigue siendo inferior al 1 % del mercado de los cigarrillos convencionales.

кажется, признают, что с помощью электронных сигарет, в качестве альтернативы пластырям и другим похожим продуктам, у курильщиков есть шанс отказаться от вредной привычки. Некоторые уполномоченные органы уже ввели запрет на продажу этого продукта несовершеннолетним. Согласно докладу Well Fargo, продажи от электронных сигарет в 2008 году составили 20 миллион долларов, 500 миллион долларов в 2012 году, достигнув 1 миллиарда долларов в 2013 году. Это по-прежнему меньше, чем 1% продаж на рынке обычных сигарет.

Carpaccio

A delicious recipe provided by

COCOMO

Cocktail Bar & Restaurant

This month we are introduced to an easy but refreshing and delicious starter named after Vittore Carpaccio, the Venetian Renaissance painter known for his use of brilliant reds and whites.

Ingredients FOR THE SAUCE: • 1 egg yolk • 1 tsp. white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar • 2 pinches dry mustard • Salt and freshly ground white pepper • ¾ cup olive oil • Juice of ½ lemon • 1–2 dashes Worcestershire sauce, or to taste • 1½ tsp. milk • Salt and freshly ground white pepper

FOR THE CARPACCIO: • 1½ lbs. boned shell of beef, trimmed of all fat, sinew, and gristle

Preparation: 1. For the sauce: Make a mayonnaise by putting egg yolk, vinegar, mustard, and a little salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl and whisking until foamy and thoroughly blended. Add ¼ cup of the oil drop by drop, whisking constantly. Gradually add the rest of the oil in a thin, steady stream, continuing to whisk as the mayonnaise thickens. Add 1 tbsp. of the lemon juice and seasoning, whisking in a little beef or chicken broth (or water) to thin the mayonnaise, if you like.

2. Put ½ cup mayonnaise (keep the rest) in a small mixing bowl; whisk in Worcestershire and ¼ tsp. of the lemon juice and enough milk to make a thin sauce that just coats the back of a wooden spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3. Make sure the beef is very cold, and then slice into the thinnest possible slices, using a razor-sharp slicing knife. Divide slices among six small chilled plates, arranging them in one thin layer, covering the surface completely.

Drizzle some of the sauce over the meat on each plate and serve immediately.

FRUITS OF ANDALUCIA

MANGO МАНГО

“The king of fruits” is one of the most popular, nutritionally rich fruits with unique flavour, fragrance, taste, and heath promoting qualities make it a common ingredient in new functional foods.

Mangoes have been cultivated in South Asia for thousands of years and they are also grown in Andalucía, one of the few places in mainland Europe that allows the growth of tropical plants and fruit trees.

Unripe mangoes can be kept at room temperature for a few days to ripen keep them in paper covers.

Health benefits of Mangoes 1. Mango fruit is rich in pre-biotic dietary fibrer, vitamins, minerals, and poly-phenolic flavonoid antioxidant compounds.

2. According to new research study, mango fruit has been found to protect against colon, breast, leukaemia and prostate cancers. Several trial studies suggest that polyphenolic anti-oxidant compounds in mango are known to offer protection against breast and colon cancers.

3. Mango fruit is an excellent source of Vitamin-A, 100 grs. of fresh fruit provides 25% of recommended daily levels of vitamin A. It is also a very good source of vitamin-B6 and vitamin C 4. Additionally, mango peel is also rich in phytonutrients, such as the pigment antioxidants like carotenoids and polyphenols, but eating the skin can cause dermatitis.

www.webexpressguide.com

Манго выращиваются на территории Южной Азии уже тысячи лет. Его культивация распространилась также и на андалузский регион. Данный географический регион стал одним из немногих мест континентальной Европы, где возможна культивация тропических растений и фруктовых деревьев. Для того чтобы насладиться вкусом зрелого фрукта, недозревшие манго можно хранить при комнатной температуре на протяжении нескольких дней, обернув в бумагу. Польза для здоровья от употребления манго: 1. Фрукт манго богат клетчаткой, витаминами, минералами, а также антиоксидантами полифенольной природы.

2. В ходе новейших исследований было обнаружено, что манго помогает защищать против рака толстой кишки, молочной железы, простаты и лейкемии. В ряде пробных исследований тестировалось предположение, что полифенольные антиоксиданты, содержащиеся в манго, помогают предотвратить появление рака молочной железы и простаты.

3. Фрукт манго является отличным источником витамина А: сто грамм свежего фрукта обеспечивает до 25% рекомендуемой суточной дозы данного витамина. Манго также отлично восполняет недостаток в витамине B6 и в витамине C. 4. Оказывается, что кожура манго также богата фитонутриентами, такими, как антиоксиданты каротиноиды и полифенолы. Однако, необходимо помнить, что употребление кожицы в пищу может вызвать дерматит

The Golden Wok Chinese Open Buffet – Estepona Self service open buffet Chinese restaurants seem to have started a new trend here on the Costa del Sol. I am not sure about other parts of the globe, but I have certainly seen them in New York, when I visited recently.

It stands to reason that the concept is appealing to diners when they are not restricted to a menu. There is no waiting and you can help yourself to a very wide variety of dishes including Sushi without restriction and at a fixed price. You can also help yourself to a good selection of fresh uncooked meats, fish, sea food and vegetables that can be stir fried for you by the chef on the spot.

I have visited several such restaurants from Los Barrios to Marbella, but the one I liked best is without a doubt the Golden Wok. The ambience and decor are modern and up market by comparison, yet at the same price as any of the others. I also found that the service was excellent even for a self serve restaurant.

I rather liked the presentation of the food in their white ceramic dishes: clean, fresh and rather appealing.

The fact that you can enjoy your meal on the terrace by the swimming pool is an appealing added bonus.

I love Chinese food and I recommend the Golden Wok; try it, you will not be disappointed.

Health & Beauty

Travelling Abroad. Don´t forget to pack your travel insurance!

Most trips pass off without incident but if the worst happens through serious illness or accident, it can be devastating emotionally and financially for you and your family.

EU Citizens travelling within the EU:

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is valid for temporary visitors to another EU country without it you may be charged for your treatment.

The application should be made before travelling and it is usually valid for three to five years. If you stop being a UK resident, you need to return your EHIC to the Department of Health.

As a UK state pensioner living in Spain and registered for healthcare with an S1, the UK will issue your EHIC to use on a temporary stay in the UK and a third EU country. For more information call the Overseas Healthcare Team on +44 191 218 1999.

If you work in Spain and pay social security there, you will get the Spanish health card from the local social security office.

The EHIC gives you access to temporary medical health care provided by the state under the same conditions as a national of that country. Be aware that each country’s healthcare system is different. Free services at home might not be free in Spain (i.e.: prescriptions).

The EHIC does not give you access to private healthcare and you will be expected to pay at the time of such treatment. So, the EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. It does not cover any private healthcare neither does it cover costs such as a return flight or lost/ stolen property.

Cover from other sources: If you have private insurance in your home country, check your policy to see if it offers cover whilst 34

www.webexpressguide.com

temporarily abroad. For example Sanitas offers 10,000€ health cover per trip abroad, so check the limits of your cover and any restrictions. Also check for any geographic limits, some insurers may not cover you outside Europe, while others like for example Bupa International, only cover you in the US if you have specifically purchased that cover.

Some credit card companies and banks offer their customers travel insurance as part of the deal, but check the terms and make sure they meet your needs.

Most policies are reasonably priced and give peace of mind however it is important to choose one that meets your needs. Here are some facts to consider.

1. Most policies do not cover pre-existing conditions. However, you may be covered if your condition is stable and needs control by medication. You must make a full and accurate declaration of your medical history so you know exactly what you are covered for.

2. Check the geographic and financial limits and make sure they meet your needs.

3. Check it covers activities you may undertake whilst abroad and the definition of “dangerous activities” – you may be surprised!

4. Do you want to include non medical cover – loss of luggage, money etc 5. Is there a 24 hour emergency helpline and what services do they offer.

6. If you are a frequent traveller check if an annual policy is available and take care of insurance needs for the year.

STM Nummos Life SL is able to arrange travel cover through ihiBupa. Please contact us if you are interested. Enjoy a safe and healthy trip!

A R E YO U S U F F I C I E N T LY COV E R E D F O R YO U R H E A LT H C A R E NEEDS? As an expat living in Spain, accessing the right kind of healthcare provision can prove difficult. If you are not covered, treatment can be expensive and often beyond most people’s means. This is not to mention the added complication of doing this in another language.

STM Nummos Life SL are registered intermediaries for Bupa International and Sanitas, and offer comprehensive and affordable packages designed to provide you with a tailored healthcare solution that provides peace of mind for you and your family.

Our team of client relationship managers are bilingual and provide the following services to new and existing Bupa and Sanitas clients free of charge: • Assisting members in finding the appropriate medical provider • Obtaining pre-authorisation for hospitalisation, operations and scans • Claims assistance • Advising on policy matters and renewal • Providing information on new products and promotions

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land.”

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.”

Today, Congress has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels, and mortgaged the Promised Land!

Alimentos Disfrazados

Hikaru Cho es un artista japonés de 19 años capaz de crear impresionantes ilusiones ópticas con sus pinturas .

Ha conseguido que veamos de otra manera los alimentos, disfrazándolos y confundiendo nuestros sentidos.

La artista ha titulado su obra “It’s not what it seems” (“No es lo que parece”) un buen nombre para una serie de pinturas increíbles y sorprendentes que nos hacen volver a mirar más de una vez cada una de sus ilustraciones. En un primer momento parece que estamos viendo un plátano o un huevo que al cortarse revela su verdadera naturaleza. Una forma increíble de sorprendernos con algo tan cotidiano como la comida.

Aparte de ser un divertido juego visual también nos anima a reflexionar sobre la vida y demostrarnos que no todo es lo que parece y que no nos debemos dejar llevar por las primeras impresiones.

prickly pair

There you are!

This month The Prickly Pair take a look at the summer resorts and haunts of the rich and famous. Magnificent stone architecture, strict dress rules, a host of daily activities, all rooms with en-suite facilities, three solid meals a day and full to bursting with the cream of Marbella society!

So where is this pleasure dome?

Nestling quietly in the foothills with uninterrupted views of the magnificent countryside; Alhaurin Prison has become the favourite “Hide-out” of the rich and famous of Marbella. It isn’t difficult to see why Marbella’s society have decided to head inland this summer and wait for the “Heat” to die down on the coast. So just what does Alhaurin Prison have to offer for the jet set?

For those used to fine cuisine and having 40

www.webexpressguide.com

their pick of the five star restaurants of Marbella; Alhaurin Prison’s “Canteen” may seem a little rustic. The set menu is probably your best option and offers a limited but wholesome choice of brown stuffs in thin gravy. You may opt to try the “Tray” meal, this is quite an experience for the first time visitor to Alhaurin Prison and there are strict rules of etiquette involved, but these are usually quick and easy to pick up and there are always a few long term guests hanging around who are more than happy to explain the intricacies to you.

Once you have been served your meal it is customary to “Shuffle” slowly to one of the long tables, where, if you are lucky, you will find one of your former colleagues enjoying their chosen repast. However, the dining hall does become rather full at certain times of the day and you may find yourself sharing a table with some of those charming, aforementioned long term guests; this is the perfect opportunity for you to practice some of those negotiating skills for which you are so famous, and by the simple act of bartering some of your brown lumpy stuff in exchange for a much lower value potato, you can forge strong, valuable future friendships.

After your meal why not relax over a game of Pool; here again, the tables do become very busy, so be prepared to stump up quite a lot of “Snout” to secure a game; however, this can be won back if you are willing to challenge the player already on the table. Make sure you fully understand the rules before offering to make the challenge and that it is the game of Pool you are referring to; painful mistakes have occurred in the past when a new guest has offered to “pot some balls” without making it quite clear he meant on the snooker table.

Moving on to the evening’s entertainment, a strict dress code operates at all times and you will be expected to wear this year’s “must have” suit. Colours for this season are navy or battleship grey and tailoring tends to be “severe” there is a distinct lack of accessories and some of the more well known members of Marbella society have been spotted sporting the rather “funky” ankle tag.

Materials used for this seasons “Look” include Serge and heavy cottons, colours tend to be plain, although the “arrow” motif will be big this summer. Another “must have” is the new line in over the shoulder bags and the make to look out for is “Swag” most of the cream of Marbella’s society have been spotted carrying a “Swag “ bag over their shoulder at some stage earlier this year.

One major draw of Alhaurin Prison for the Beautiful people of Marbella is the peace and quiet. After years of living it up on the Costa del Sol things have finally caught up with them and for a few, the high life has left its toll; manager of Alhaurin Prison, Angel Herbella Antonio Guerrero has been overwhelmed by the popularity of the place in recent times, “we only really had a few “Scrotes” before” he said “but with all these toffs turning up, we have had to smarten the place up a bit” one area in which the place has been “smartened up a bit” is the introduction of a computer in the recreation lounge.

This much needed link with the outside world has made a big improvement to the lives of the guests and only last week one of the “Marbella set” was seen bidding on a surgical inflatable cushion on EBay. With further bookings being made, it looks as if Alhaurin Prison will be the place to go for Marbella’s socialites for some time.

Ваш русский путеводитель по предпринимательству в Испании

Побережье Коста-дель-Соль славится настоящей интернациональной бизнессредой и может являться коммерчески привлекательным местом для начала предпринимательской деятельности, в случае, если это сделано учитывая во внимание подводные камни и местные особенности рынка. Мы решили положить начало этой новой месячной рубрике, чтобы помочь нашим русскоязычным читателям разобраться в сложностях, связанных с запуском и ведением своего дела в Испании. Разумеется, мы также будем рады ответить на более специфические вопросы, на которые вы желали бы получить ответ. Просим слать ваши вопросы по адресу: editor@webexpressguide.com Поиск заветного пути через тернии испанской бюрократии, да и ещё на испанском языке, может превратиться в бесконечный кошмар. Наиболее удобным и нервосберегающим решением является сотрудничество с хорошим бизнесадминистратором или «гестором» (от исп. «gestor», «gestoria»). Данное лицо выступает в качестве моста между государством и частным сектором, и задействовано в невероятном потоке юридических документов и бумаг, которые необходимы в отношении всего, что вы желаете делать. Несмотря на то, что они действуют в ваших лучших интересах в вопросах бюрократических процедур (НДС, возврат налога, зарплаты и т.д.), не ожидайте, что они смогут подсказать вам лучшее оптимальное решение для вашего бизнеса, учитывая все ваши индивидуальные обстоятельства. Этот факт и послужил основной причиной, 44

www.webexpressguide.com

побудивший нас на запуск данной информативной рубрики. После того, как вы зарегистрировались в регистре и получили идентификационный номер NIE, обретя, таким образом, формальное право на ведение предпринимательской деятельности в Испании ( прим. Граждане ЕС могут зарегистрировать бизнес в Испании без каких-либо ограничений после обретения номера NIE), следующим шагом будет являться выбор наиболее подходящей юридической формы для ведения бизнеса. Перед принятием решения основать компанию с ограниченной ответственностью (Sociedad Limitada – S.L.), возможно, будет более разумным начать вашу деятельности в качестве индивидуального предпринимателя, учитывая, разумеется, размах и вид вашей деятельности. Стоит обратить внимание, что основным недостатком данной формы предпринимательства является полное обязательство всем личным имуществом за любые задолженности, явившиеся результатом вашей бизнес-деятельности. Однако, если вы намереваетесь платить в срок всем вашим поставщикам, у вас не должно возникнуть проблем. После того, как вы начали вашу деятельность, ваш бизнес-администратор зарегистрирует вас через Налоговый Департамент (исп. «Hacienda») в регистре налогообязанных по НДС (исп.

«IVA»), а также в Службе Социального Обеспечения (исп. «Seguridad Social») для ежемесячных выплат. В следующем выпуске: НДС и Социальное Обеспечение

CAR OF THE MONTH

AUDI

R8 4.2 FSI

This car really can walk the walk in terms of delivering an experience to rival that from a Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. It steers accurately and displays balance and composure, even in Arctic conditions.

With the V8 engine in the middle, behind the driver and the inclusion of four-wheel drive, all the basic ingredients are there to deliver an exhilarating driving experience.. The cabin is spacious and well appointed.

In fact, the cockpit puts a lot of existing supercars to shame.

Top speed 187mph; 0-62mph 4.3sec; Economy 22.8mpg (combined); Engine V8, 4163cc, petrol; Power 424bhp at 7900rpm; Torque 317lb ft at 4500-6000rpm; Gearbox 7-spd dual-clutch automatic 50
