Our man on
Bond-i beach
and her Majesty’s
Senior Service
GOLDFINGER firmly established 007’s place in cinema
history when James Bond
made his way into a drug-making factory in a wetsuit.
And at the weekend a Spanish national left authorities “shaken but
not stirred” by an audacious attempt
to smuggle fags from Gibraltar into
Spain – via an underwater rope.
Our Man from Poniente beach was
no suave Sean Connery character
and there wasn’t a Pussy Galore companion in sight.
He wasn’t so much On Her Majesty’s
Secret Service as On His Majesty’s
Senior Service – after 4,000 packets
of Lambert & Butler and Benson &
Hedges cigarettes were seized.
The man was arrested by the Spanish authorities after officers from
the coastal patrols of the Guardia Ci-
vil found him wearing an underwater
suit while operating in the area from
the border to the Poniente beach.
Officials claim the cigarettes were
being transported into Spain via an
underwater rope linking the two shorelines.
Perhaps the man in a wetsuit was
looking for authentic Bond Street cigarettes.
Officials are no strangers to the extraordinary lengths some smugglers
will go to bring in their booty.
But, by any standard, this latest
incident by our “dope on a rope” has
been met with amazement at the methods used.
Customs officers believe the activity may have been taking place for
some time, with other similar operations also believed to exist in the region as tobacco smuggling continues
to thrive in the region.

BRUCE:
Two dates
in Spain
THE BOSS is planning to make Spain his next official trip.
Rocker Bruce Springsteen will start his European tour called
‘Magic’ in Madrid.
The Palacio de los Deportes will be the setting on Sunday,
November 25 for the first of two Spanish dates on the tour.
The tour is to promote the new album of the same name,
which is released on October 2 and is his first with the E
Street band for five years.
The tour, with the E Street band, moves to the BEC in Barakaldo, Vizcaya on Monday, November 26 before leaving
Spain with 13 concerts in Italy, Holland, Germany, Norway,
Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Ireland, France and finally ending
in London on Wednesday, December 19.
THE QUEEN of England finally caved in to her critics
– and now the King of Spain
is following suit.
For Spain’s fun-loving
King Juan Carlos is showing
his hand on spending in the
same way the heads of the
British royal family did
some years ago.
Juan Carlos, pictured
above with the queen, and
known for a love of yachts
and fine living, has named
an auditor for his finances
following calls for details
of his spending to be made
public.
He has not explained the
reasoning behind his decision, announced in a brief
note in the government’s
official bulletin this week,
and the audit will not be
made public, a royal spokesman said.
The audit move followed
persistent attempts in parliament by a left-wing party
to uncover details of the royal family’s use of government funds.
Catalan party Esquerra
Republicana said the appointment of an auditor was
at least a step towards transparency.
“The taboo about the monarchy is beginning to go
away,” said Joan Tardà, a
member of parliament for
Esquerra Republicana.
Spain’s royal family received more than eight million
euros in public money last
year, a spokesman said.
Queen Elizabeth II has for
several years published accounts for her public funds.

Survivors sue
rescuers
A GROUP of illegal immigrants, who survived after
their raft capsized in waters
off in the Canary Islands,
are taking the Spanish
maritime rescue services to
court.
They have brought a lawsuit claiming “negligence”,
after 88 of their compatriots drowned.
The law suit, presented by
15 of the 48 survivors, states
that the tragedy, which took
place some 89 nautical
miles southeast of Punta de
la Rasca in Los Cristianos,
Tenerife, could have been
avoided. They claim that
one of the maritime rescue
boats that went to the spot
crashed into the raft, splitting it in two.
This caused dozens of
immigrants to fall into the
sea and drown, as many of
them were unable to swim.
One month ago, the maritime head of Santa Cruz in
Tenerife, Antonio Padrón,
stated that the testimonies
of the survivors were false,
tenacious and spiteful, as it
was unclear if the raft had
split due to manoeuvres of
the rescue boat.
Now the high courts must
decide if the lawsuit against
the rescue services will be
processed and the necessary sanctions imposed.

aim to create the “best and
most luxurious hotel” not
only in Mallorca but the
whole of Spain, say the new
owners.
The property will be
managed by the Jumeriah
group, the Dubai-based hotel operator which manages
the iconic Burj-al Arab
“seven-star” hotel in Dubai,

Spain’s most famous
playground clean-up
By John Bennett
MARBELLA, tainted by
political scandal which
has driven property
buyers away, is getting
a dose of good, old-fashioned honesty.
New town mayor Ángeles
Muñoz, who swept to power in the May elections, is
planning to put the ‘bella’
back in Marbella.
The 47-year-old Popular
Party candidate is leading
the charge to a new era of
honesty.
It was the Spanish playboy
Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe who put Marbella on
the map in the 1950s, when
he founded the Marbella
Club and brought his jet-set
friends from Madrid there.
In recent years, however,
despite the perfect climate,
the town’s reputation has
been under a cloud.
Now, after a long-running
clampdown that has resulted in scores of arrests, Marbella is trying to rebuild its
reputation and restore buyer confidence, particularly
among foreign investors.
It has a new urban plan
from the regional government of Andalucía, based
in Sevilla, and an amnesty
is being declared on many
of the illegal developments.
Mayor Muñoz said: “We
are going to remove the legal insecurity so that buyers can feel confident.
“To do this, we will have to
legalise practically all the
19,000 properties that were
built with illegal licences.”
The task that her new
administration faces is
a daunting one. “British
purchases are down something like 70 per cent since
2003,” said Chris McCarthy,
head of Viva Estates, a local agency. “Property prices
peaked that year, and our
average sale price of 325,000
euros hasn’t budged since.
June was the worst month
in five years, and a lot of
agencies are downsizing or
closing.”
Marbella’s
problems
stretch back to 1991, when
a local developer, Jesús Gil,
was elected mayor. Though
initially popular, having
boosted employment and
MARVELLOUS MARBELLA: Rebuilding its damaged reputation
cut street crime, Gil oversaw a culture in which anything from building permits to municipal contracts
could, allegedly, be bought.
Illegal licences for an estimated 30,000 properties are
thought to have been granted under an urban plan he
instituted in 1998.
Gil, who left office in 2002,
died in 2004. Investigations
into his years in office began shortly afterwards.
There were dozens of arrests – those taken into
custody included the then
mayor and her predecessor – and among those now
standing trial on charges
of money-laundering and
corruption is Juan Antonio
Roca, Gil’s town-planning
chief.
He is accused of leading a
gang that obtained £15m in
bribes and bungs. In what
allegedly amounted to a development free-for-all – provided the payoff was right
– properties were built on
land earmarked for parks
and public facilities.
Now, in return for an amnesty on properties built in
such areas, the town “must
be compensated with land
for new infra-structure
and facilities,” the mayor
says.
Developers who benefited
from illegal licences granted under previous administrations are expected to
provide the land – a total
of 118 hectares is due to be
handed over. “Most of the
developers have already
agreed to do this,” Muñoz
added.
However, 752 properties
will not be legalised, because planners argue that
they have been built on essential public land, so 377
owners – some of them Britons – are facing the prospect
of these properties being
demolished. Judicial proceedings are in progress.
Meanwhile, the new urban
plan, and the amnesty deal
it contains, is due to get final approval from Sevilla
next year.
Many of the properties
that may be razed are in
the vast Banana Beach development, just outside the
town.
John Toomey and his
Spanish wife, Marisa, both
61, bought there in 2004,
when the cost of a threebedroom flat with sea views
such as theirs had risen
to about €500,000, and the
prospect of any illegality
was not on the horizon.
“We took great care with
the legal search, using a
local lawyer,” says John, a
property lawyer himself,
from Harrow. “There was
a building licence from the
town hall, and there was
no record of any problems
in the property register

– which, by law, should give
you all the assurances you
need.”
The Toomeys are understandably bitter about the
prospect of losing their
seaside home. “The government in Sevilla was happy
to take tens of thousands
of euros from us in stamp
duty, but now they say our
property is illegal, while
arbitrarily legalising thousands of others,” says John.
“Sevilla is treating us like
criminals, and has never
expressed the slightest sympathy, even though it is to
blame for the situation. We
trusted the system, only to
end up innocent victims of
the public administration’s
corruption and incompetence. One British couple
who own in Banana Beach
are in their mid-eighties. It
is their only home, but they
need to move to a nursing
home, and can’t sell. It is a
terrible situation.”
The new mayor – like
much of the town’s population, according to recent
polls – hopes demolition
will not occur. “I do not believe that demolitions are
an appropriate solution
for Marbella, and I will do
everything in my power to
protect the interests of innocent buyers,” she says.
“We will appeal against
demolition orders.”
At best, however, that will
leave some owners, such
as those at Banana Beach,
in legal limbo. Given the
length of the dispute about
the legality of such developments, some of the affected
owners would prefer swift
demolition and a compensation package.
“I haven’t been able to
get a straight answer from
anyone in five years, and
this looks set to drag on,”
says Russell Ellis, 63, a pen-
sioner from Sidmouth, in
Devon, who in 2002 spent
€189,000 on a two-bedroom
flat on Banana Beach. “I
would prefer a decision tomorrow – even a bad one –
so we can move on. But I’m
not holding my breath.” To
some in the property industry, the unlucky owners in
the Banana Beach complex
are scapegoats. “What will
happen in cases where the
developer can’t, or won’t,
compensate the town hall?”
asks Morales. She fears that
the solution will only spark
more confusion, although
she does admit that July
was “an excellent month for
the local market”.
There are voices of optimism in some quarters.
“The worst is definitely
behind us,” says Desmond
O’Connor, head of Alanda
Homes, a blue-chip developer and the Spanish division
of McInerney plc, Ireland’s
largest home-builder.
Michael Hornung, director of Marbella Club Real
Estate, the property division of the exclusive club,
also feels that the town is
about to turn the corner.
“Wealthy buyers are coming back,” he says. “They
know Marbella is cleaning
up its act.” Building work
slowed during the corruption investigation, but John
Fleetham, 47, a developer
from Sheffield, has since
invested £1m in three plots,
with planning permission,
in the upmarket Sierra
Blanca urbanisation. “I believe Marbella will bounce
back,” he says. “If you have
made any money in the UK,
this is where you want to be.
This place is aspirational.”
Muñoz, meanwhile, plays
up plans for a new terminal and runway at Málaga
airport, and, eventually,
a high-speed train link to
Marbella, which will boost
visitor numbers.
James Hewitt, 49, the
former lover of the late
Princess Diana, is one
newcomer who couldn’t be
more enthusiastic. He arrived here a year ago, with
plans to establish a bar-restaurant, and is renting a
flat while he gets the business off the ground. “Whatever the recent problems,
the quality of life here is
unbeatable, and that will
always attract people,” he
says. “My quality of life
here is three times better
than it was in London, for
about a quarter of the price.
With the mild climate and
outdoor lifestyle, I feel as if
I’m living 600 days a year.”

RICKY TOMLINSON: Sprucing up his image for travel show in Benidorm
Actor casts aside slob image for
‘posh’ TV travel show
TV comedy actors Ricky Tomlinson and
Johnny Vegas are packing their sombreros
and suncream to present the many faces of
Benidorm – for British TV.
First up is former TV slob Tomlinson of
Royle Family fame.
And Ricky will cast off his normal persona to present a “posh” look at the hot spot.
BBC producers were at the Benidorm Palace on Tuesday filming a new episode of
popular 80s’ series Wish you were here.
The travel programme, formerly fronted
by Judith Chalmers, will feature a chapter
on the attractions of the Costa Blanca tourist magnet that rose to fame in the 70s and
has been a favourite ever since with Brits
seeking sun, sea and sand.
Filming in Benidorm Palace started in
April and technicians from the BBC have
returned to the Costa to add a few extra fin-
ishing touches.
British viewers will become familiar with
Benidorm Palace over the next few months
as former Brookside star Ricky is hosting
a BBC show covering the brighter side of
the town.
Instead of focusing on packed beaches,
English pubs and tacky tourist resorts,
Tomlinson, who describes himself as one
of Benidorm’s biggest fans, will present the
most up-market restaurants, best places to
go for a night out, and the historical attractions and cultural sights that will appeal to
the most discerning holidaymaker.
Not to be outdone, rival channel ITV has
booked the cabaret hall for the hen party of
one of the producers on acclaimed breakfast show GMTV, hosted by Ross Kelly,
Anthea Turner and Kate Fleming.
Next, ITV is planning a follow-up to last
year’s love-it-or-hate-it series, Benidorm – to
be imaginatively titled Benidorm II.
The sitcom features a group of British
holidaymakers on the ‘holiday from hell’
– a coach trip to Benidorm where disaster
strikes at every turn.
Directed by Sandy Johnson and starring
Steve Pemberton and Johnny Vegas, the
series features an unlikely mix of social
classes and stereotypes among British holidaymakers.
ITV are seeking a host of extras for the
show, who must be British, aged between 18
and 65, and resident in the Benidorm area.
Candidates need to be available for filming between September and November this
year.
All those interested should contact Mediterránea Audición on 629 115 568 or via
[email protected].
EL CORTE INGLÉS – Europe’s largest department
store – has announced plans
to open four new stores in
Spain and press on with expansion plans in Portugal
and Italy.
Spain’s biggest retailer
also said 2006 sales rose
7.8 per cent to 17bn euros,
while net profit was up 9.1
per cent to 712m euros.
The
expansion
plan
pushed up net debt 58 per
cent to 1.76bn euros at the
privately-owned group.
The government expects
the Spanish economy to
grow 3.8 per cent this year,
although some analysts
fear harder times ahead
if the construction sector
slides and heavily indebted
households cut back spending.
Based on sales, El Corte
Inglés is the world’s 30th
largest retailer, according
to research by retail consultancy Planet Retail.
The group is appealing
against a court decision
that it must pay one of its
shareholders market value
for his stock rather than
the lower price put on the
shares by the company.

Spain mourns death of acclaimed
novelist Francisco Umbral, 72
AN award-winning Spanish
novelist, who has been
described as “brilliant and
incisive”, died this week in
Madrid aged 72.
Francisco Umbral, considered by
many as one of the most influential Spanish authors of the second
half of the 20th century, won many
awards throughout his long and
distinguished career, including the
1996 Prince of Asturias Literature
Prize and the 2000 Cervantes Prize.
Born on May 11, 1935, in Madrid,
Umbral grew up and spent most of
his formative years in Valladolid.
During an illustrious career as
author and columnist, Umbral
published more than eighty novels,
some of the best known of which
are: ‘Las ninfas’ (1975), ‘Mortal y
rosa’ (1975), ‘La noche que llegué
al Café Gijón’ (1977), ‘Trilogía
de Madrid’ (1984), ‘Madrid 1940:
Memorias de un joven fascista’
(1993) and ‘El socialista sentimental’ (1999).
Umbral’s health began to decline
in August 2003, when he was admit-
ted to hospital with pneumonia
just one month after surgery to
remove part of his colon.
He was widely known for his
black glasses and trademark white
scarf, as well as his gravelly voice.
His ashes will be buried next
to his daughter, who died during
childhood and to whom Umbral
dedicated ‘Mortal y rosa’.

The company said it plans to produce three
new models at the plant in Valencia, with
an annual production target of 350,000 cars
a year.
Ford said it would invest 425 million euros
in the plant, which produces the popular
Ford Focus, for buyers in Spain and across
Europe.
“I am pleased to be able to dispel any uncertainties about the future of the Valencia
plant,” Ford of Europe president and chief
executive John Fleming said.
“I have always said it was one of our most
efficient and flexible plants in Europe.”
The union has agreed to keep labour costs
low in a bid to keep the plant competitive in
relation to its other European rivals.
“We are pleased that the company has

Police officer
cover-up after
tourist shooting
Shockwaves are rippling
through the holiday hot spot
after news broke out
defence but was later forced
to change his story and
confess to the crime when
faced with evidence.
He had deliberately cut
himself with a knife to
give the impression that he
had been attacked during a
burglary.
However, officers who
attended the scene of the
crime say the blood was
dry on David’s head injury,
whilst the killer’s injury
was recent. They also found
rags and blankets that had
been used in an attempt to
hide the blood.
The
judge
handling
the case is investigating
whether the local police
officer’s wife could have
aided him in the killing, as
she was in the house at the
time of the incident.
A PROBE is underway
after claims that a police
officer faked a robbery
after shooting dead a ‘tipsy
tourist’ in Benidorm.
Reports from prosecutors
suggest the cop staged a
pretend heist to cover his
tracks.
He is also said to have knifed
himself to provide an alibi.
Daniel Carvajal, 32, was
shot in the head on Saturday,
August 18 when an officer
entered his house at 4am.
The dead man, originally
from Madrid, was spending
the weekend in Benidorm
with a group of friends and
had rented an apartment in
Avenida Beniardà next door
to a local police officer’s
home.
Information relating to the
case has been withheld by the
judge due to a secrecy order.
Neighbours say David had
been out for a few beers with
his friends and ‘seemed a
bit tipsy’ when he returned
home.
He was seen climbing the
stairs to the terrace of the
police officer’s apartment
barefoot and in a swimming
costume.
Shots rang out moments
later.
In the meantime, David’s
friends were trying to enter
the building and saw no sign
of life for two hours, until
several patrol cars arrived
at the scene and cordoned
off the area.
One of David’s friends
managed to enter the
apartment and found the
victim dead from a shot
wound and a 29-year-old
man with a knife injury in
his side. The latter is said to
be a local police officer.
He was treated at a health
centre before being taken
in for questioning, and is
currently being held at

Mr Pérez revealed that
he would now get in touch
with Leire Pajín of the

SPAIN’S investment in Benidorm’s water supply has
been heavily criticised by
the town’s local authority.
The central government’s
subdelegate in Alicante,
Encarna Llinares, has
accused Benidorm’s PP
spokesman Antonio Pérez
of “deliberately misinterpreting” her campaign in
support of desalination
plants.
These plants take water
from the sea, extract the
salt and re-use it to provide
homes and businesses with
an on-tap supply.
Llinares apparently compared Benidorm to Altea,
where no cuts in supply
have been recorded since
2004 when the desalination
plant was installed.
She reminded Pérez that
Zapatero’s team has invested 1,100 million euros in
Benidorm’s water, which
will provide some 300 cubic
hectares until 2009.

the total arrivals in three
days to 363, officials said.
They warned that hundreds more were also on
their way.
Arrivals of undocumented African migrants to the
Canaries have nonetheless
significantly dropped compared with an influx of
more than 31,200 recorded
in 2006, three times more
than the previous annual
record.
Island is popular with British
and Irish holidaymakers
AN ENGLISHMAN accused
of killing his partner on the
holiday island of Tenerife
has been sent to a psychiatric
hospital.
The body of Margaret
Manley was discovered at an
apartment in the resort of
Los Cristianos on Saturday.
An
initial
post-mortem
examination suggested that
the 40-year-old from Belfast
had been strangled.
Andrew Crowther, 47, with a
Sunderland address, denied
murder and the judge is
now awaiting a detailed
psychiatric report from
doctors before proceeding
with the case.
Mr Crowther was arrested
after he walked into a bar at
the resort, with blood on his
clothing.
Police then discovered Ms
Manley’s body. It was initially
thought she had been stabbed,
but it later emerged that she
had been strangled.
Alzira Dognappers
BURGLARS have made off
with 20 pedigree Yorkshire
Terriers from a villa near
Alzira, putting a stud owner’s
livelihood at risk.
Their distraught owner says
ten of them were puppies
and six others were heavily
pregnant.
Bernat Blai, a Yorkshire
Terrier breeder, says the ten
adult dogs were shoved into
an oil drum previously used
to store their food.
The puppies were taken
away in dog-beds that Blai
had made from boxes.
“At least that way they were
well protected,” a devastated
Blai said.
The owner of the Gos de
Rocco Terrier stud in Benicull
said he will be unable to work
for many months as the
pooches were his livelihood.
Heartless burglars only left
behind two of Blai’s female
dogs and four males.
They also stole various
other items of
value,
including jewellery and a
camera.
Blai reveals that all the
adult dogs were chipped,
which may help police to
trace them more easily, but
fears they may be sold on
fraudulently.
Anybody with information
that may lead to their possible
return should call Bernat
Blai on 619 109 582.

BRITAIN THIS WEEK
Prescott
to retire
August 31 - September 6 2007
Miracle boy came
back from the dead
TWO WEEKS ago, Spanish doctors said the
11-year-old Welsh wonder kid was clinically a
goner.
‘TWO Jags’ John Prescott,
the former UK deputy
prime minister, is bowing
out of politics.
The Hull East MP, credited
with acting as a mediator
between the warring Tony
Blair and Gordon Brown, is
standing down as an MP at
the next election.
Mr Prescott, 69, who has
been an MP for 37 years,
said it had been a “huge
privilege” to serve his constituency in the House of
Commons.
The MP, who quit his government post in June, will
officially notify local party
members on September 16.
Hull East Labour Party
chairman Steve Brady said
Mr Prescott was a popular
MP because of his “common touch” and spent his
time solving difficult problems for his constituents.
This had been something
the national media had not
often reported, he said.
“He is a good MP and has
served his constituency excellently,” he added.
New flood
barrier for
London
LONDON may get a new
30bn euro barrier – to stop
potentially disastrous flooding in the UK capital.
Environment
Minister
Phil Woolas said a feasibility study into a second
Thames barrier for the city
would report within weeks.
He said the probability London could flood had
“doubled” from a one-in2,000 to one-in-1,000 chance
since the Woolwich barrier
was built in 1983.
Experts fear that by 2030
the current barrier could
be unable to cope.
Mr Woolas said ministers would have to decide
whether to go ahead with
building the new barrier
“some time next year”.
Keiran can remember
very little of his near-fatal
choking while on holiday in
Spain. But for his parents,
Naomi and Matthew, from
Garndiffaith, near Pontypool, the memories are all
too real.
The Jenkins’ summer holiday to Calella in Cataluña
almost turned into a nightmare when, on their second
day, Keiran choked on a
piece of meat at dinner.
The family, including Keiran, his sisters Courtney,
nine, and Emily, three, and
baby brother Joseph, one,
were staying at the Calella
Palace hotel in the Costa
Maresme town.
Mrs Jenkins said: “We
were all getting our food
and starting to eat and then
Keiran suddenly jumped
up, his eyes seemed to pop
out of his head and I saw he
was choking.”
She told him to cough but
instead was forced to watch
in horror as his lips began
to go blue and his skin
turned a shade of grey.
She said: “He looked dead
and at that point I just got
hysterical.”
Her cries for help were answered by a hotel manager,
who tried the Heimlich manoeuvre and even knocked
Keiran’s front tooth out as
he tried to reach down his
throat to dislodge the meat.
Meanwhile, someone from
the hotel called an ambulance.
Mrs Jenkins said: “I saw
Keiran’s arms flop and all I
could hear were people saying he was dead, because
there was no pulse and he
wasn’t breathing.”
But then, after everyone
else seemed to have given
up, a hotel guest called
Tracey came to the rescue.
With her petite hands and
long fingers, she managed
to reach down Keiran’s
throat and pull out a large
chunk of meat, measuring
around two inches cubed,
with a piece of bone in the
middle. She then performed
mouth-to-mouth and chest
compressions.
Mrs Jenkins said: “Suddenly Keiran screamed and
that’s when he came back
to life and everyone started
clapping.”
An ambulance crew then
took Keiran to Calella hospital, where doctors confirmed he had been clinically dead for around 10
minutes.
But despite the risk of
brain damage, Keiran was
pronounced
in
perfect
health.
Several hours after he regained consciousness, Mrs
Jenkins said he snapped
back to his old self and although his parents wanted
to return to Wales immediately, he insisted they stay
for the rest of the week.
Now back home in Gardiffaith, Keiran is his usual
cheeky, outgoing, sport-mad
self.
Although he has so far resisted his mum’s threats to
force him into vegetarianism, both parents are making sure he chews every
mouthful before it goes
down.
Mrs Jenkins said: “It’s
just a miracle.
“I didn’t believe it when I
was told he was breathing
again, because I was convinced he had died.”
Keiran said: “It was a bit
scary, but I can’t remember
anything from eating my
food to when the paramedics were there.”
He joked: “I’m going to
liquidise my food from now
on.”
Youth arrested over
Rhys Jones murder
THE fifteen-year -old youth
arrested on suspicion of
killing 11-year-old Rhys
Jones has been bailed.
The arrest followed the
search of a woodland adjoining Croxteth where Rhys was
gunned down by a youth on a
BMX bike. Divers joined the
search for evidence at Dam
Wood yesterday, which began
after police received what has
been described as “credible”
information from the public.
The woodland is known to
contain three large ponds.
A Merseyside police spokesman said: “I can confirm a
15-year-old local boy was arrested on suspicion of murder this morning.”
He described the arrest as
“new”. Ten other youths have
already been detained in connection with the murder over
the past week, with six bailed
and four released without
charge.
Last night police marked
the one week since Rhys’s
murder by stopping motorists
and members of the public
outside the Fir Tree public
house where he was killed to
distribute leaflets appealing
for information. The leaflets
have been supplied by Tesco,
where Rhys’s parents Melanie, 41, and Stephen, 44, are
employed.
The coroner also made an
appeal for information as he
opened and adjourned the
inquest into Rhys’s death.
Andre Rebello said: “This is
a tragedy which has not only
destroyed a family but it has
destroyed a community and
it has caused national public
outrage.
“For any right-thinking
person or any right-thinking
family it would be difficult to
live with any knowledge of
Rhys’s death without sharing
the information.”
Det Ch Insp Dave Kelly
of Merseyside Police
said: “It is important to
say we have had a significant response from
members of the public.
But there are people
who hold key information and no doubt know
the identity of the offender and we would
urge them to come forward.”
RHYS JONES
Mandela
statue
unveiled
FORMER South African
president Nelson Mandela
received a rapturous welcome from Gordon Brown
this week.
PM Brown called the ageless apartheid warrior the
“greatest and most courageous leader of our generation” as he welcomed him
to Downing Street.
The former South African
president was in London to
see a 9ft bronze statue of
himself unveiled in Parliament Square.
The pair met for private
talks ahead of the unveiling outside the Houses of
Parliament on Wednesday.
A Downing Street aide
said the pair had known
each other a long time and
the talks were a chance to
“catch up”.
Mr Mandela said he was
proud to be inside Number
10, joking: “My wife and
I are happy to be here because, as you know, this
was one of our rulers, but
we overthrew them.
“We are on an equal basis
now.”
Mr Brown added: “I’m
proud to welcome to Downing Street the most inspiring, the greatest and most
courageous leader of our
generation.
“It’s such a privilege to
have Nelson Mandela and
his wife, Graca Machel,
here today and I’m looking forward to our discussions.”
He told Mr Mandela: “I’m
looking forward also to the
statue being inaugurated in
your honour tomorrow in
London.”
The unveiling follows a
five-year row over the location of the statue – London
Mayor Ken Livingstone had
wanted it to be put up in
Trafalgar Square.
But Mr Brown said Parliament Square – home to statues of Sir Winston Churchill, Benjamin Disraeli and
South African statesman
Field Marshall Smuts – reflected Mr Mandela’s significance as a world statesman.
Hola, this is Avis Barcelona calling
CAR rental workers in Britain are planning the biggest
drive of their lives – to a new
destination in sunny Spain.
The Avis call centre workers in Manchester have been
offered a once-in-a- lifetime
chance to embrace a novel
form of flexible working.
About 180 of the Salford
Quays workers are being
invited to exchange their jobs
in the north west for Barcelona.
The car rental group has
call centres in Barcelona and
Manchester, both employing
about 200 people, but has announced it will close the UK
centre and transfer 180 jobs
to its Spanish office as part of
a restructuring plan.
There are currently 210
positions at the Manchester
call centre and 180 of those
staff have been offered the
option of relocating to Avis’s
Barcelona operation to work
on English-speaking customer
services.
The cost-cutting exercise
also includes the acceleration
of the transfer of back-office
activities into Avis’s shared
service centre in Budapest
and the renegotiation of some
supplier contracts, including
those for telecoms services.
Those who decide to make
the move will find they are
not alone. There are already
10,000 people estimated to be
working in 40 Barcelona call
centres.
“They have until October
to make up their minds. The
terms of the package have
not been agreed yet and we
are still in the consultation
period,” Avis said this week.

Camilla
snubs
Diana
service
INTRIGUE has once
again dogged the 10th anniversary of the death of
Princess Diana.
And now the woman,
described by Diana as
the “third woman” in her
marriage to the Prince of
Wales, has caused a stir
by announcing she will
not attend today’s memorial service.
Camilla, Duchess of
Cornwall has decided
against going to the
special event, Clarence
House said.
Camilla had originally
accepted her invitation
by Princes William and
Harry to the service.
But she has now pulled
out of the service, fearing
her attendance “could
divert attention from
the purpose of the occasion”.
The hour-long service
was being held by Buckingham Palace, in the
Guard’s Chapel in London’s Wellington Barracks.
Dickie Arbiter, former
press secretary to the
Queen, said the Duchess
of Cornwall should have
acted earlier.
“It could have quite simply been done right at the
very beginning, with a
short statement saying
the Duchess of Cornwall
would love to support
her husband, would love
to support William and
Harry, but she feels that
it was inappropriate to
attend”.
Around 500 guests were
expected at the thanksgiving service, including
more than 30 royals and
celebrities such as Sir
Elton John, who played
Candle In The Wind at the
funeral service in 1997,
and Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Princess Diana died,
aged 36 – along with
her companion Dodi Al
Fayed, 42, and chauffeur
Henri Paul – when their
Mercedes crashed in the
Pont de l’Alma tunnel in
Paris on August 31, 1997.

Vatican backed
airline takes off
Godspeed, we’re heaven sent
By Charles Barrington
IT was a match made
in heaven – a Vaticanbacked charter airline
service with the Pope’s
blessing.
And this week saw the inaugural flight of a service
that will put pilgrims heading for Catholic shrines
such as Spain’s Santiago de
Compostela on Cloud Nine.
Scheduled to start regular
service next year, the flights
are tailored to the needs of
pilgrims, with inscriptions
such as “I search for Your
face, Lord,” decorating the
seats. Religious videos will
also be shown on board.
“We want to create the
conditions to enable pilgrims to live their pilgrimage starting at their city’s
airport and even before
they arrive at their destinations,” said Rev Caesar
Atuire, chief executive officer for Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi, which organises
pilgrimages for the Diocese
of Rome.
“That’s why we created
this initiative, with a dedicated aircraft, trained staff,
and messages (on board)
to help people live a better
experience,” said the priest
before heading for Lourdes.
The five-year agreement
between Mistral Air, a small
airline owned by the private
Italian post office, and Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi,
offers flights leaving from
seven Italian airports, including Rome and Verona,
with a Boeing 737-300.
Officials expect the deal
will bring an estimated
150,000 passengers a year
to destinations including
Santiago de Compostela
in Spain; Fatima in Portugal; Lourdes in France; the
Holy Land; Czestochowa in
Poland and Egypt’s Sinai.
Details on schedules and
fares are still being discussed. However, Atuire
said the airline is hoping to
offer pilgrims competitive
prices.
Rome’s Camillo Cardinal
Ruini praised the initiative.
“The way to make pilgrimages can change over time
but their deepest meaning
remains the same: To look
for a deeper contact with
God,” he said before boarding the inaugural flight on
Monday.
The Vatican does not have
an airline or its own airport, and the Pope regularly takes special flights with
commercial carriers for his
trips around the globe.
Santiago de Compostela
is the capital of the autonomous community of Galicia. Located in the northwest region of Spain in the
Province of A Coruña, it
was the European City of
Culture for the year 2000.
The city’s cathedral is the
destination of the important medieval pilgrimage
route, the Way of St James.
Every year, more than
100,000 pilgrims on foot, bicycle, donkey, or horseback
come from over a 100 countries to claim their certificate called a ‘compostela’,
based on their pilgrim passport called a ‘credencial’,
filled with stamps from the
towns they passed along the
route.
The ‘credencial’ proves
they have followed the route
formally recognized by the
Pilgrim Association of St.
James.
‘My husband is not a paedophile’
THE WIDOW of a suspected
paedophile
– linked with Madeleine
McCann’s disappearance
– has spoken for the first
time about his “innocence.”
Urs Hans killed himself
after allegedly kidnapping a five-year-old Swiss
girl.
Now Vreni Von Aesch,
whose husband is being
accused of the disappearance of Ylenia Lenhard, has finally broken
her cover.
She says ‘lots of lies’
have been published in
the media and that her
husband is ‘not a paedophile’.
Her husband was polite,
friendly, sociable and bighearted, Vreni reveals.
However, she has hinted
that he may have been
suicidal.
Vreni said her husband
had ‘changed considerably’ in the last three or
four years and often said
he did not want to live,
particularly when he was
ill or in pain.
Urs Hans was “afraid of
getting old”, often ill and
suffered persistent headaches.
His wife heard the news
of his death via her sister
in Switzerland, who telephoned to say Urs had
said goodbye to her.
At the same time Vreni
received a text message from Urs on their
landline, but in German
which, when read out by
the automated voice service in Spanish, made no
sense, she continues.
The Benimantell resident
said her husband had returned to Switzerland for
the summer because he
found the Spanish heat,
crowds of tourists and
traffic jams unbearable.
Vreni reveals that her
husband was staying
with her mother and
sister at their house in
Zétzwil.
She travelled to Switzerland on August 5, four
days after her husband’s
death and was horrified to see that the news
on Swiss television had
linked his demise with
the disappearance of little Ylenia.
The grieving widow also
reveals that her husband
was carrying a gun because he often went rabbit-hunting.
According to Vreni, her
husband did not know
the missing child and
“nobody who knows my
husband believes he did
it.
“All the villagers are
very kind, they are all
worried, including the
mayor.”
On whether he may have
been involved in the disappearance of British
three-year-old, Madeleine
McCann, Vreni categorically denies that her
husband was in Praia da
Luz, southern Portugal,
on the day of the child’s
disappearance from the
family’s holiday apartment.

Lazy thinking How safe are our children?
I
MAGINE for a moment
that, at work, you share
a desk with a squirrel.
Unlikely? Well, this
is what happens to me
every day at the moment. I
normally set up my laptop
on a table on our porch
right opposite an enormous
jacaranda
tree
where,
between 8 and 9 o’clock in
the morning, a squirrel
comes to visit.
We have managed to build
up such a good rapport that
she even allows me to take
photos without a problem.
She stares right at me as
if we were old friends. The
truth is that we have started
to share a number of secrets
and have uncovered serious
differences when it comes
to important questions
related to national and
international politics. She
is simply uninterested in
things that concern me
deeply: thinking about
things bores her, she has
openly admitted as much,
leaving me speechless. It
is not easy working with
a colleague like her, but I
have no choice because it is
just me and her.
She urges me to write
about how good the first
coffee of the day tastes or
about last night’s immense
full moon, and I cannot help
thinking about the mother
of the boy from Liverpool,
who was brutally murdered
with a bullet in the head
that, apparently, was not
meant for him.
As you will know, his
name was Rhys Jones, he
was barely 11 years old
and was playing football
in a park near his home
in Liverpool’s Croxteth
district.
The police believe that
Rhys was shot accidentally,
and that the real target was
one of a group of youths
nearby, who should have lost
his life as a consequence of
the rivalry between gangs
from two neighbouring
districts: Croxteth and
Norris Green.
One of the statements
made by the British police
astounded me to a much
T
Rhys Jones
greater degree than the
idleness of my friend, the
squirrel. Liverpool police
chief, superintendent Dave
Kelly, stated that the boy:
“was in the wrong place at
the wrong time.”
My God! There must
be something seriously
wrong for a police chief
to say something like that
so calmly. And there must
be a serious problem if
the international media is
prepared to accept such a
statement at face value.
It may appear innocent
enough on the surface but
it is one of the clearest and
most unjust expressions of
subtle buck-passing that I
have ever heard.
Should we not be asking
what is happening in
Croxteth and Norris Green,
former industrial areas that
have fallen into decline, for
there to be a proliferation in
gangs of young murderers?
Are there no questions to
be asked about the values
being broadcast by the TV
channels each day to their
gullible young viewers? Are
there no questions to be
asked about the society that
we are creating?
Rhys Jones was not in
the wrong place at the
wrong time, he was playing
football near his home.
Indie singer, Manu Chao,
said something profound
recently with which I am
in complete agreement:
“I’m convinced that there’s
nobody at the wheel. Those
in charge don’t know where
we’re going.” I am terribly
sorry, my dear squirrel, the
coffee is great and the light
is beautiful, but I cannot
help thinking that many of
life’s little pleasures such
as these will not now mean
much to the parents of little
Rhys Jones.

HE disappearance of
Madeleine
McCann
has alarmed parents all
over Europe. Spanish
newspapers and television
have followed the story
throughout its twists and
turns with the total lack of
progress and false sightings
painfully reminiscent of
the disappearance of sevenyear-old Yeremi Vargas in
Gran Canaria in March
whilst playing outside his
grandparents’ house.
He was missed after only
minutes but, despite an
immediate and impressive
response from police and
thousands of volunteers
who combed the island,
and subsequent massive
publicity, nothing has been
seen of Yeremi since.
Like
the
McCanns,
Yeremi’s
family
were
investigated
amidst
rumours of discord yet the
investigation has ground to
a halt and news coverage of
his traumatised parents has
trickled to the occasional
mention as the months pass
by.
Whilst
the
children
remain lost, their innocent
faces staring out from
posters and newspapers are
not forgotten. ‘Have they
found Madeleine?’ my tenyear-old son asked, after
seeing her image on yet
another news report.
He went on to quiz me as
to where she might be, who
could have taken her and
why before asking me the
critical question
‘might
someone take me?’.
I carefully explained what
I felt he could understand
and why he must always tell
us where he is going, and
to never, ever go off with
someone unless he asked
permission first.
He accepted this oftrepeated
message
and
jumped up to go out to play
in the street, prompting me
to question the degree of
independence he is allowed
and the potential dangers
he faces.
D
espite such horrific
stories as the loss of
Yeremi and Madeleine,
Spanish children are still
brought up with a freedom
that is fast disappearing
from the streets of Britain.
My children have been
allowed to play outside
from an early age, along
with their peer group,
usually watched over by
older siblings. We do insist
on a time to come home
and generally know who
they are with but by the
age of ten they have all had
the freedom to roam the
village.
I have long since lost the
newcomer illusion that
Spain is a safer place than
Britain; paedophiles exist
here in probably the same
ratio as the rest of Western
Europe and Spain’s crime,
drugs and alcohol statistics
are equally disturbing.
However I have continued
to let my children play out
and have tried to balance
my concern for their
safety with my desire
to let them enjoy their
growing
independence,
play uninhibited by the
control of adults and learn
from their mistakes as my
generation was able to.
L
ike my children I was free
to explore the playing
fields and streets of my
housing estate, paddle in
the brook, go for long bike
rides, reporting home in
time for tea.
Like today’s youngsters
I was made aware of ‘bad
men’ and the danger of
strangers.
I
remember
being scared by news of
a child kidnap case and
running home after being
kerb crawled and offered
sweets.
So all wasn’t so innocent
then, even without the
encouragement offered to
paedophiles by internet
pornography.
A
s parents I think we do
need to keep some kind
of control over our own
fears.
Thankfully cases of child
abduction are still rare, our
children are in much more
danger of harm from road
accidents than paedophiles.
It will be sad if such tragic
events as the disappearance
of Yeremi and Madeleine
result in the widespread
curtailing of children’s
freedom, shut indoors and
denied the experiences
that make childhood such
a delight whilst giving
them the opportunity to be
responsible for themselves,
in itself a vital lesson in
their development.

Ageing and dying
T
here are subjects that
writers avoid like the
plague. They know
that taking the bull by
the horns can be dangerous
and, at the end of the day,
writing for a newspaper is
not as well-paid as a bullfighter’s job. Yet those who
are kind enough to read me
will know by now that I’m
up for anything, so I have
no qualms about covering
the subject of ageing and
death in this piece.
Although this is a pretty
serious topic, I do have
extenuating circumstances
as I’m one of those
condemned to face such
life-changing events.
As a human being I can’t
avoid it or distance myself
from it, given that, even
if I’m not already old I’ve
certainly done enough with
my life to almost merit
being classed as ‘old’ – that
is, having lived a fairly long
time. And that’s what kills
us – living.
Every day new formulas
come out on the market that
claim to sell some infallible
antidote to this condition
that shortens our lives.
Yet ageing and death are
as inevitable as sleeping,
eating or going to the toilet.
To this end, in the same
way that we have to get
used to the mother-in-law’s
intolerable nagging, our
children’s mad obsessions
and their kids’ constant
messing about, we also
have to adapt to ageing and
death.
If we try to be clever and
avoid it we’ll only make
ourselves look ridiculous
and in all certainty, sink
into depression.
It’s as though we’d been
banned from using the car
or the motorbike and forced
to travel by bike – well, let’s
just make sure our bikes
work as well as possible
and that they last as long as
they can.
L
et’s have a bit of
common
sense
and
forget about putting on
our tracksuits, going for a
run and sweating out all
that we haven’t sweated out
yet in our lifetimes.
Let’s forget about going
on diets that make our lives
unpleasant. Forget about
getting into ghettos where
old age is seen as an illness
rather than a natural
process.
Let’s go out for long walks
to take our minds off it, eat
what we please and enjoy
our food without forgetting
the medicinal wine and
mingle amongst the rest of
the population like normal
people – even if we are a
few years older than the
rest of them.
Watch out for those sadists
who disguise themselves
as doctors. They’re easy
enough to spot, because real
doctors are those people
who prescribe relaxation
and perhaps a few pills to
help us through our old age
and are determined not to
prolong the agony.
More suspect doctors
are easy to detect when
they attempt to prolong a
degenerated survival even
if the patient and their
loved ones suffer for it, and
bleeding the public health
service dry in the process.
“Inside every calm and
reasonable
person
is
another person who is
terrified by the thought of
death,” writes Philip Roth
in The dying animal.
But life is for living
– that is, to enjoy all
positive experiences to
the maximum and not to
be terrified by anything.
Normally, alcohol and pills
are not enough to wipe out
this dread – healthcare with
a human touch, and your
own positive behaviour – as
long you still feel able to do
most things for yourself
and don’t feel heavily
dependent upon others
– should be enough.
W
hether they like it or
not we have to force
our politicians to
take the subject of old age
and death by the horns,
unless we want to live in
total dread of it.
In the same way, in fact,
as we should make them
take action to prevent the
tragedy of a child dying
every five minutes on our
planet because it doesn’t
have the basics to enable it
to survive.
Dying might, one day,
be just like falling asleep,
even though certain sadists
will never want to lose
every chance they’ll have
of satisfying their warped
passions.

M
y primary school in
Edmonton, North
London
was
a
two-storey brownbrick Victorian affair, with
windows of aged green
glass.
Reception class was always presided over by some
kindly, motherly figure but
once you hit your stride,
aged around five, you were
passed into Miss Bussey’s
clutches, a brisk, tweedy
woman with support tights
and a brigadier manner,
who soon knocked you into
shape. She wielded a metal
ruler on your knuckles or
peered over horn-rimmed
specs to express her displeasure if you spoke out
of turn. Bizarrely, she had
also taught my father, so
I imagined she must have
been around 108 years old.
I vividly recall the horror
of mathematics – kids stood
by desks reciting times
tables. You were made to
stand on your chair if you
got a question wrong. I spent
most of the lesson wavering
above the rest of the class
like a miserable totem pole.
Week after week I froze in
front of her glare and stumbled over numbers.
One disastrous Wednesday morning I was told to
stay behind and sweep the
class as it was my third
week in a row spent on top
of my chair. While sweeping I silently peed myself,
too terrified to leave the
room. When Miss Bussey
discovered me, I was sent
to fetch the caretaker’s mop
and bucket, and made to
mop the room as well, which
meant I missed lunch and
felt dizzy with hunger until
the bell at 3.30pm.
It took me until secondary school, and another odd
teacher who wore a Paddington-style duffel coat in
class and made us pray to a
poster of Jimi Hendrix on
entering class, to conquer
my fear of numbers.
School days were full of
highs and lows that seemed
to shrink the world into a
textbook. Fear motivated
me, but other kids just
dropped all pretence of effort and accepted streaming into lower classes, regardless of their obvious
intelligence. They were
considered difficult, and allowed to sit on benches at
the back of the hall to minimise disrupting the rest of
the kids.
B
y the time my kids were
leaping out of nappies,
we had moved to Spain.
Our choice of a house was
prompted by asking for
recommendations for a
good primary school that
would accept our kids and
their attendant language
issues. Our eldest daughter
attended a mixed castellanoEnglish nursery school for
six months and then started
at her valenciano-speaking
school. It is a low-brick
building painted egg-yolk
yellow, with five classrooms
and a gymnasium.
Teachers are called by
their first name, and gener-

ally receive a hug and a kiss
on arrival from each child,
or as the boys reach the mature age of eight, perhaps
a slap on the back in greeting. My three daughters all
attend the same school, and
last year two were even in
the same class, aged three
and five respectively. Clearly a tiny Spanish primary
located in a village of less
than a thousand inhabitants cannot claim to offer
facilities or enrichment
experiences like those of
a wealthy London suburb.
But in classes of less than
15 kids, learning three lan-
guages from an early age,
their experience so far has
been that school is fun.
They accept that valenciano is spoken most in class,
castellano more in the playground, and for my kids at
least, English at home.
W
e joke about words,
and my Spanish
just about keeps
pace with the eldest who
at nine can do riddles,
crosswords and games in
all three languages. I help
with her homework to
push myself to learn, and
use internet sites to find
educational games over
the long school holidays.
We are not a completely trilingual family, but we have
decided that there is more
to be gained by accepting a
culturally rich vocabulary
and absorbing what we can
from the media at hand.
Last night, my four-yearold daughter watched a
Spanish documentary, chin
in hands on the sofa. She
told me the words for crabs,
seahorses, seaweed and
beach in all the languages
she knows. And sighed
“Please mum, is it nearly
time to go back to school?”
FTER completing a
health questionnaire
recently, I discovered
I am only going to
live until age 63. Of course,
had I lied and said I didn’t
smoke this would probably
have risen by another 30
years.
Far from being terrified I
suddenly realised I wouldn’t
have to bother saving for
a pension, could take out
a fifty-year interest-only
mortgage and never have
to pay it off, and fritter my
cash on designer clothes.
Like any female worth
her salt I go weak-kneed at
the thought of expanding
my wardrobe, although at
times it can be draining and
frustrating – when I spend
as much money on having
new clothes adjusted to fit
than on actual shopping
sprees. It never fails to
amaze me how my habitual
dress-size can either hang
off me or be impossible to
even fasten.
Plans afoot to ‘standardise’
clothing sizes in Europe
will be highly welcome
by all, irrespective of our
figures.
What grates on me,
though, is the reason they
cite for doing so. It all
reflects the UK’s ‘size 0
debate’ (read size four, the
British equivalent of a US
zero, or European 32).
Apparently, small sizes
encourage anorexia. Simply
seeing them in the shop, in
the same way as the mere
existence of thin people in
magazines, leads otherwise
healthy women to stop
eating, or overeat and get
rid of it; stick drawing
pins in their stomachs to
pop it, hide away sobbing
uncontrollably
because
they are so fat and ugly and
contemplate suicide after
eating a chocolate bar.
These
extreme
confessions come from two
friends I have known since
my teens, amongst other
admissions that would
make readers’ hair curl if
I were to elaborate. These
girls claim to have suffered
from their eating disorders
since infanthood, one even
admitting she used to pull
faces at herself in the
mirror at age six because
she thought she was fat.
To suggest that the
presence of a slim actress or
model in a glossy magazine
‘promotes eating disorders’
is a massive insult to the
girls who wind up being
force-fed in psychiatric
wards, or who have such
an intense hatred for
their own bodies that they
would rip away their own
skin if it were physically
possible. A normal, healthy
human will not develop
this damaging condition
simply from reading a
few
celebrity-obsessed
KIERA KNIGHTLEY:
Slim actresses do
not promote eating
disorders
publications, and a girl who
is susceptible will not need
to look at photos of thin
people to fall into this dark,
deadly trap. Her own inner
pain is enough to do that to
her.
And in their witch-hunt
against skinny folk, the
media and the fashion
industry seem to forget
that
underweight
but
otherwise healthy people
do in fact exist. Another
schoolmate, whose weight
never reached 44 kilos
(seven stone) used to hide
behind baggy clothes and
make a point of being seen
stuffing hamburgers and
pizzas, so self-conscious she
was about her figure, about
being called ‘matchstick’
and ‘beanpole’, and so
embarrassed at having to
walk into clothes’ shops
and ask for that elusive size
34. Then she had a baby
and her dream came true:
her diminutive waistline
expanded to a still-tiny 38.
Not everyone who takes a
size eight, six or even four is
anorexic. There are plenty
of women who are naturally
thin – and happy that way.
And let’s not forget that
anorexics still need clothes.
They won’t choose to put
weight on simply because
they cannot find their size.
Eating disorders are deeprooted mental illnesses with
painful causes and complex
reasons that others and
frequently even the sufferer
do not understand.
One thing is certain,
however
–
filling
up
magazines with curvier
women, even if they do
represent the majority,
is never going to cure
the form of depression
with the highest recorded
death-rate – it’s roughly
equal to putting a bandaid on a broken leg. The
only effective cure is love,
empathy and respect.

Domestic abuse crack-down
Special unit formed to aid
victims of domestic violence
By Samantha Kett
ZERO tolerance of domestic violence is high
on Calpe’s list of priorities, and local authorities have created a ‘special brigade’ to stamp it
out in the town.
Local Police officers have
been drafted in to concentrate solely on cases of
abusive partners and other
family members. They will
investigate cases reported
in detail in an attempt
to prevent unnecessary
deaths, most of which are
of women, and many at the
hands of exes under injunction to keep away from their
victims.
Although the brigade has
only been formed this week
– with two female and two
male officers, co-ordinated
by a Local Police chief – a
concerted effort has been
made to encourage victims
to report abuse and the perpetrators to be dealt with
accordingly.
Since the Local Police
joined the Guardia Civil in
handling domestic violence,
some 159 cases have been
reported in Calpe and 88 restraining orders issued by
the court. A total of 12 abusers have been arrested.
As part of Calpe’s crackdown on domestic abuse,
councillor
for
equality María Bertomeu has
launched an awareness
campaign and intends to
provide legal training to
more women in the town so
that they can assist in handling reported cases.
Busy burglars now
behind bars
TWO members of a gang
rounded up in connection
with a crimewave hitting
the Marina Alta have been
brought to trial and put behind bars.
National Police in Dénia
and Ondara reveal that the
17 members of the gang,
whose ringleader is just 20
years old, could have been
behind a series of burglaries on homes in the two
towns.
They are also suspected of
cloning some 600 personal
credit cards.
Although the cards were
copied using sophisticated
technology in Italy, the
fakes were used to make
purchases and withdrawals
throughout Spain, probably
in an attempt to blur the
trail for police.
Often supermarkets and
restaurants do not confirm
signatures or check validity
of credit cards in any way.
Earlier this month, National Police raided five
properties in towns including Dénia and Ondara
where the suspects, 16 Romanians and a Moroccan
national, were residing.
Officers seized audio-visual equipment, mobile telephones, jewellery, watches
and four computers.
They are confident that
the offenders were responsible for three burglaries in
the area. These crimes were
carried out whilst the occupiers of the properties were
sleeping.
Eleven of the 17 detainees
have been brought to trial,
and two have been awarded
custodial sentences.
PRIORITIES: Tackling the issue of domestic abuse is high on the agenda
Great expectations
RICARDO Costa, the General Secretary of the Partido
Popular in the Comunitat
Valenciana, stated yesterday that he had great expectations for the Alicante
branch of the Party in the
upcoming General Elections.
He also revealed that following a series of meetings,
it had been decided at a national level that Alicante
would be spotlighted as
a special case in the elections.
Mr Costa added that Prime
Minister José Luis Rodrígu-
ez Zapatero has used the
summer to make a number
of campaign appearances in
socialist dominated autonomies, because he knows full
well he has not carried out
all of his election promises.
Ricardo Costa claims that
Sr Zapatero simply dare
not come to the Valencian
Community because he
knows that he has not kept
his word to the Valencians
and that this was borne out
by the fact that he simply
refused to show up at any
stage of the very public
America’s Cup races.
Cops help shops
prepare for hold-ups
BRITS in La Unión are fearing for their safety and that
of their homes and businesses because of a wave of
burglaries in the area.
Faced with this widespread alarm, authorities
have stepped up vigilance
and are sending Local Police round to help residents
prepare themselves should
the worst happen.
Officers explain to shopkeepers, bar owners and
other businesspeople and
their staff what to do in the
event of a hold-up, riot, or
other types of emergency.
Mayor Francisco Bernabé
and the councillor for public safety accompany police on their visits to get to
know the concerns of workers in the town.
La Unión, near La Manga,
has 200 small and mediumsized businesses, many run
by British expatriates.
Beachgoers swim in
human excrement
A BEACH in Gandia has
been re-opened following
the discovery of raw sewage in the sea that forced
authorities to cordon it off.
The Playa de Venecia was
shut off to the public for
more than a week when
tests on the water revealed
high levels of bacteria
found in human excrement.
Local authorities reveal
that the quantity of bacte-
ria in the sea off Venecia
beach was vastly higher
than the maximum permitted by law.
Tests were carried out
again last Monday and analysed this week, councillors
confirm.
As a result, some 100 metres of the beach were reopened this weekend, but
with the yellow flag flying
denoting ‘caution’.
SIP cards withdrawn from
non-registered residents
A NUMBER of SIP cards in
the Marina Alta have been
withdrawn – because their
holders are not registered
on the local census, reveals
the regional ministry of
health.
A whopping 3,169 SIP
cards, which allow residents to obtain healthcare
via the public system have
been recalled.
The ministry defended its
move, saying those who use
the state healthcare system
in the Comunitat Valenciana should be registered on
the padrón in their town.
This is to prevent so-called
‘health tourism’, whereby
non-residents use the public medical system free of
charge.
Yet Arturo Royo, spokesman in the Marina Alta,
says doctors often treat
patients without checking
their details.
It is only when a GP issues
a prescription that their SIP
card information is sought
on the health centre’s computer, says Royo.
He says those from other
regions of Spain, or foreign non-residents should
pay and reclaim the money
from their own regional or
national governments.

Prehistoric settlement
given prestigious title
Micro-fossils dating back to
a prehistoric era discovered
among strange rock shapes
By Daniel Vidal
AN ENCHANTED city
dating back more than
four million years has
finally been given the status it deserves and is expected to attract tourists
from all over Europe.
Bolnuevo, near Mazarrón
is famous for its yellowish
clay stone, in which numerous micro-fossils dating
back to the early Pliocenic
era have been discovered.
Eroded by wind and rain,
the rock formations now
take on fascinating, gravitydefying shapes.
The so-called ‘enchanted
city’ is thought to have been
founded some 4.5 million
years ago and has now been
granted the honour of being
declared a Natural Monument of Historic Interest.
This title will shortly be
given by the regional government and is one of the few
that exist in Spain, as well as
the first to be awarded in the
Murcia Region.
Bolnuevo’s claim to fame
previously was its nudist

passengers
stranded
STORMS and high winds
along the coast at the weekend left thousands of passengers booked on DéniaIbiza crossings stranded.
The Comunitat Valenciana experienced weather
last week that is more in
keeping with autumn that
mid-August, a time when
residents and tourists alike
suffer with the heat.
Red flags flew on beaches
and fishing boats remained
anchored in their ports in
Sagunto, Valencia, Cullera,
Gandia, Oliva and along the
Costa Blanca.
Seven fast-ferries connecting Dénia to Ibiza and Palma
de Mallorca were unable to
leave their respective ports
and 3,000 passengers had to
be placed on other vessels,
causing long delays.
A Trasmediterránea ferry
travelling back from Ibiza
had to cancel its crossing
due to high waves.
Winds of between 60 and
70 kilometres per hour and
rain measuring 14 litres per
square metre were recorded
on Friday and Saturday.
Storm in an America’s
Cup to be clarified
Benitachell’s mayor is
rolling up his sleeves
MICHEL Hodara, the Chief
Operating Officer for the
America’s Cup Management has offered to clarify
what has been termed as a
‘perception problem over
the protocol for the 33rd
edition of the event’.
Confusion has reigned over
issues such as selection of
syndicates, and the presenters of the challenge to
be held in 2009.
On the lawsuit presented
by the Golden Gate Yacht
Club in representation
of BMW Oracle Racing,
Mr Hodara stated that the
hearing was not a victory
for the Golden Gate Club,
as nothing was decided.
This was just the setting of
a date for a hearing and no-
AFTER last Saturday’s
thunder storm in the early
morning hours, the only
beach in Benitachell, the
Cala de Moraig, was left in
shambles. It took hours to
secure the beach and the
strong pair of hands of the
mayor, Juan Cardona, of the
PIDEP party to clear it up
and reopen it to the public.
The heavy thunderstorm
on Saturday morning left
the beach in a disastrous
state. The five metre tall
waves had hit the back of
the rocks, and had taken the
sun beds and parasols with
them. Tables and chairs of
the beach bar and the wooden boards of the walkway
were floating in the sea. The
car park was flooded with
body knows what will happen on that date.
On the selection of syndicates, he stated that in his
view, it is impossible for
almost any country to provide sponsorship for many
teams, and consequently
if multiple entries are allowed, there is not likely
to be any really good individual entry.
He added: “We have twelve
bases now, and the most we
could accommodate would
be two new bases, so we will
have to be able to refuse entries”.
Meanwhile in Valencia,
the general feeling appears
to be that the court case is
sad and unnecessary, as it
hinges on the validity of
the Club of the Challenger,
and this only came about
after Agustín Zulueta, the
Spanish Challenge Boss,
wanted the Royal Barcelona Yacht Club to present
the challenge.
However, Valencia Mayoress Rita Barberá wanted
it to be the Royal Valencia
Yacht Club.
The matter then became
further complicated after
one of the main sponsors
– electricity company Iberdrola – refused to sponsor
any campaign if a Valencian Club was not involved.
It appears therefore that the
sensible way to proceed was
to create a club that would
fit all the requirements of
the relevant sponsor.
water and covered in rocks
and boulders, the waves had
also lifted the asphalt and
left deep cracks next to the
sea. Fortunately, there were
no victims.
As the bad weather continued through all of Saturday
the police were forced to
close the beach to the public; neither cars nor people
were allowed.
On Sunday the weather
had calmed down, and it
looked like a normal summer day, apart from the
destruction on the beach.
Therefore, the mayor himself, Juan Cardona, and the
chief of police with two police officers went down to
clean up the beach and the
car park, so that families

could spend the last days of
their holiday on the beach.
Cardona, the chief of police and two police officers
arrived on Sunday morning
at 7.30 am and because no
public service company is
working then they started to
clean the parking area with
their own hands.
Later the car park was
swept and the maritime
police collected driftwood
items. Finally at 11 am it
was opened to the public. By
midday the beach was filled
with happy people. A young
Spanish father said: “I am
impressed how fast they
could clear it up. I saw it
yesterday and thought that
I would not be able to come
down here for days.”

Inferno
threatens
six towns
A MASSIVE forest fire in
the Castellón province continues to burn despite the
efforts of literally hundreds
of emergency workers.
More than 1,500 hectares
of countryside have been
wiped out by the inferno,
which is thought to have
been started when technicians were working on a
nearby electrical network.
At least six municipalities
are under threat as a result
of the blaze, which has been
exacerbated by high winds.
Among the team are 26
planes, 35 fire engines, various Guardia Civil officers
and 26 forestry brigades.
The inferno started in the
village of Les Useres in the
l’Alcalatén district, inland
of Peñíscola and Benicàssim.
Temperatures in the area
reached 40oC this week and
winds of up to 60 kilometres an hour meant that the
fire, which started on Tuesday around midday, shows
no signs of waning and is
spreading rapidly, eating
up acres of countryside in
its path.
Worried emergency workers say their efforts are doing little to bring the flames
under control.
One of the worst-hit areas
is the El Bovalar hillside,
close to the village of Atzeneta.
A total of 70 people were
evacuated on Thursday
morning, mostly from villas in rural areas. In the
village of Costur alone, 35
people were forced to flee
their homes.
Another ten people had to
leave their farmhouses in
Figueroles, near the stretch
of countryside known as La
Llucena.
At the time of going to
press, the fire has not yet
been brought under control.

Roman boat surfaces
off Cartagena coast
First century BC discovery
excites marine archeologists
By José Andúgar
A ROMAN boat in nearimmaculate condition
has been dredged up
from the bay of Cartagena.
Archaeologists say the
find dates back to the first
century B.C.
The team from Cartagena’s national archaeological museum and underwater investigation centre
(MNAM-CNIAS)
reveals
that this exciting discovery
comes just after two boats
and a number of anchors
thought to be more than
a hundred years old were
found on the seabed.
The team worked in
conjunction
with
the
Aurora SP Trust, a USled
non-profit
making
foundation based in Malta,
which provided equipment
and funds.
More underwater investigations are expected to be
carried out in a bid to bring
Cartagena’s maritime history, which dates back more
some three thousand years,
to the surface.
They believe the boat
could have been used to
transport wine, oil and
various perishables, and
had space for up to 1,500
amphorae – Roman storage
jars – in the hold.
This suggests it was a
ship of considerable dimensions.

It was discovered at a

the coast of La Vila Joiosa

Archaeologists reveal that
wine was drunk in Rome in

MAZARRÓN residents face

The cost of car tax, planning permission, no-parking areas in front of garages, and cemetery fees will

However, rates for water,
rubbish collection, mains
drainage and asset tax or
IBI will see little change.
Despite the increases,
town councillors in Mazarrón, home to one of Murcia region’s largest British communities, say this
year’s budget is consider-
ably less than that of 2006.
Costs for 2007 as a whole
have reached 31.8 million
euros, some 9 per cent less
than last year’s 34.9 million.
Around 14 million euros
of this money is spent on
public sector employees’

Bus smash
injures eight
A BUS crash in Dénia has
left eight people in hospital
after the driver lost control
on a busy main street.
Doctors believe he may
have suffered a heart attack
at the wheel.
The vehicle, which was
travelling along the Las Marinas stretch on Wednesday
afternoon, veered off the
road and ran over a pedestrian who was leaving the
Baleària ferry offices. He
was taken to La Pedrera hospital with serious injuries.
Next, the driver collided
with three parked cars and
crashed into the wall of the
Baleària headquarters.
A woman was rushed into
casualty with severe bruising to her lumbar region,
and medics are reserved
about the outcome. The bus
driver was taken to hospital, suffering from dizzy
spells.
All the other injured parties were treated in a Dénia
health centre.
A MAN died last Friday afternoon off La Fossa beach
in Calpe due to a cardiac
arrest.
Initially, it was thought
he had drowned, but later,
Miguel Devesa, councillor
for the beaches in Calpe, explained that the 53-year-old
British citizen was in the
water with three friends in
spite of the hoisted red flag,
when he suffered a cardiac
failure.
Emergency services assisted him and transferred
him to the health centre,
where he later died.

The local authority is

the newly-created association Lorca Biciudad (liter-
ally, ‘Lorca Bike-city’).
They will carry out awareness campaigns in schools

SEGORBE is a mediumsized town in rural, inland Valencia that is full
of surprises.
For anyone interested in
Spanish bullfighting folklore and culture, the best time
to visit the capital of the
Alto Palancia district is the
first week of September.
For more than half a century, a deafening mascletà
at two o’clock in the afternoon on the first Monday
in September, has signalled
the start of the patronal festival and the popular entrada of the bulls and horses.
The ham and sausage fair
starts on the same day as
the town becomes a fiesta
for lovers of good food and
drink.
Gunpowder, ham, wine
and bulls kick off Segorbe’s
seven-day party, but perhaps its most memorable
feature is the bull-running
festival, which is very similar to Pamplona’s Sanfermines festival in July.
Although
less
wellknown, they are arguably
more entertaining because,
in Segorbe, the bulls are
guided by a group of twelve intrepid horse riders as
they career through the
streets on their way to the
bull ring.
The other main difference between Segorbe’s entrance and Sanfermines
is that, in Segorbe, people
do not run in front of the
bulls, but spend the whole
time with their eyes firmly
fixed on the beasts as they
are herded past by the horses.
The crowd, which is the
only barrier from the start
of the run to the finish,
opens up as the bulls and
horses go by, like some kind
of human zip.
Although the event is not
without danger, old men
and young children have
been taking part since time
immemorial. They perch on
steps and cling onto window bars when the animals
get too near, and it must be
said that no serious accidents have been reported in
recent years.
The whole course measures just 350 metres, and
the spectacle lasts barely
a minute, but the sense of
excitement is palpable: the
streets are packed with
people and you can see both
fear and enthusiasm etched
on their faces.
The people of Segorbe
are taught how to open and
close back up again as this
information is passed from
one generation to the next,
and nobody gets hurt.
The entrance of the bulls and horses takes place
along calle Colón, the road
dividing the medieval quarter from the rest of the modern town centre that has
been expanding since the
start of the 21st century.
But before enjoying the
popular entrada and before
the bells of the cathedral
chime noon, the Paseo de
Sopeña must be visited.
From here there is an excellent view of the entire
Cerro de la Estrella, the
mountain on which sits the
historic town centre and
the ruins of its ancient fortress.
Also from this spot, the
crowds that take part in the
entrada can watch the bulls
grazing on the banks of the
Palancia River. The river
is the source for irrigating
Palancia Valley’s fertile
land.
This valley is one of the
most fertile agricultural
areas in the whole of the
Valencian Community. For
decades, it supplied the his-
toric town of Sagunto and
nearby Valencia with the
most exquisite fruit and vegetables.
The land is still farmed
and from the Paseo de Sopeña you can see the well-kept
fields that, these days, serve more as a family hobby
than for economic gain.
However, the most important thing during this week
in September is not the scenery, but the bulls, which,
in just a few short minutes
will be driven up the hill to
take part in the entrada.
Shortly before midday,
locals and visitors can watch la tria, which means
the separation of the bulls
chosen to take part in the
entrada from the rest of the

PROTAGONISTS: The horses and their riders are the real stars of the show
CONGRATULATIONS: The crowd applauds the riders at the end of the entrada
HUMAN ZIP: The crowd opens and closes as the bulls are herded through town
grazing herd.
The selected beasts are
herded up the El Rialé slope into a pen, where they
are held until the arrival of
the horses.
Indeed it is the riders and
their horses who are the
real stars of the entrada.
Around a dozen riders from
prominent local families
steeped in fiesta tradition,
take part. Each one takes up
their position as they start
to steer the beasts towards
the bullring. A deafening
firecracker heralds the start
of the entrada.
With great skill, cunning
and courage, the riders form
a type of horseshoe and gallop the bulls through the
narrow gap that opens up
in the crowd ahead.
When they reach the
ring, the riders rein in
their mounts and the bulls
enter the Plaza de la Cueva Santa.
Once the bulls are safely
locked in, the riders parade in triumph down the
calle Colón, soaking up
the generous applause of
the crowd. The tension in
the air before the start of
the entrada has now evaporated, leaving only joy and
fiesta.
But the party does not
stop here, bullfighting-related activities continue
throughout the day.
In the morning the so-called practice bulls toricos de

young boys of the town – joined by a growing number
of girls – get to run ahead

La entrada online
Segorbian Town Hall has been heavily promoting
the entrada during recent years in an effort to gain
international recognition.
The spectacular festival was first declared a Festival of National Interest in December 1985, and
following an intensive petitioning campaign was
declared a Festival of International Touristic Interest on the December, 9, 2005.
During the week-long festival, the capital of the
Alto Palancia district becomes the destination of
choice for bullfighting fans from all over the world.
The entrada can also be viewed online at www.
entradasdesegorbe.com
To complete the party
Delicious ham and sausage
Segorbian cuisine is closely linked to local
crop and livestock farming activity. The
home-made sausages and hams are very
good. Furthermore, there is a range of
reputed local dishes known collectively as
the olla segorbina, this group covers dishes
such as: cobbled rice, oven-baked rice and
Segorbian stew, not to mention the superb
quality of the locally-produced olive oil
used to season typical salads featuring
locally-grown tomatoes, lettuce, olives and
onions.
DELICIOUS: The mayor and other officials relish the excellent local ham
Homemade pastries such as: coloured pepper, apple, testament or tuna pies, are also
excellent, and we must not forget the juicy
local fruits (red plums, medlars, cherries
etc.).
Coinciding with the entrada, the homemade Ham and Sausage Fair is held in the
Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where first-class
local sausages and excellent hams may be
sampled.
They are so good, in fact, that a trip to a
local butchers is becoming an integral part
of the itinerary of many tourists wishing
to take back a succulent souvenir to remind
them of their visit.

SPEED AND SKILL: Everything happens very quickly, the entrada lasts just a few minutes
of a herd of heifers.
In the evening, they stage
the popular toro embolao, a
practice criticised by animal welfare groups, but
which continues to be an
integral part of many local fiestas throughout the
Valencian Community and
Aragón.
A bull is made to run
around the square with
two balls of fire on a meta-
llic structure mounted on
its horns. It is an amazing
sight, although, at times, it
can be slightly distressing
for the bull lovers among
us.
However, the practice is
so engrained in the popular
culture that it is normal to
see children playing ‘bull’
at school and in the streets.
But there is more to Segorbe than bulls. The town
offers a variety of possibilities as it was an important centre in days gone by,
and the fact that it is one of
the few towns or cities, that
are not provincial capitals,
to boast a cathedral of its
own, is evidence of this.
Segorbe was also an important commercial hub
serving a wide area and its
people were skilled craftsmen.
Pottery was extremely important, and there were as
many as sixteen separate
local potteries manufacturing crockery, all kinds
of jugs as well as pots and
pans.
These days, the only remaining pottery factory
belongs to José Magdalena,
who represents the fourth
generation of a family with
more than a hundred years
CRAFTWORK: Walking sticks are made locally
experience of offering the
public a wide range of
hand-made rustic or decorated earthenware pieces.
Another important local
craft used to be the manufacture of walking sticks
using either tin or wood
from the hackberry tree.
Today, chestnut, beech,
bamboo, Manila palm or
ebony tend to be used instead.
There is a wide choice of
styles, from the typical cudgel to more sophisticated
models with carved handles. What is more, rambling enthusiasts will find
Segorbe perfectly suited to
their requirements.
The town sits at the foot
of the Sierra Calderona,
one of the most beautiful
mountain ranges in the
province of Valencia.

NEXT to Segorbe is the town
of Altura, which is worth visiting for its attractive scenery that combines nature,
culture and history.
An absolute must is a trip
to the Vall de Crist Carthusian monastery, which is
abandoned, but was very
important in the Middle
Ages.
It was founded during the
reign of the Aragónese king,
Pedro IV, also known as ‘Pedro the Ceremonious’.
Papal permission to build
the monastery was given in
1383, and the first Carthusian monks, who devoted
their lives to prayer and farming, moved in in 1385.
In 1386, construction work
on the primitive cloister
started and the first stone
of San Martín Church was
laid.
WITHIN the town’s bounary is an ancient olive tree,
known as La Morruda, one
of the most important in
the Valencian Community.
The olive tree, which is
approximately 1,500 years
old, is located very close to
the Masía Ferrer.
Access by car is very
good, and it is one of the attractions along the Masías
Route, which we recommend doing on foot.
On the way to La Morruda, you pass various
lagoons formed by chalkmining excavations which
have filled up with water
over the ages.
Good food and a comfortable night’s sleep can be
had at the Masía Ferrer,
which is a decent hotel that
reflects the local architectural style.
FOR cycling enthusiasts,
an interesting option is to
catch the train (ValenciaZaragoza) from Segorbe to
Barracas, which is the last
village in the Alto Palancia
district before the border
with Teruel.
From there, you can ride
back to Sagunto on the Mediterranean coast along a
green bicycle path that follows the route of the old
mining railway that used to
ferry coal all the way from
Ojos Negros (Teruel) to Altos Hornos in Sagunto.
There are one or two badly-signposted stretches at
some of the intersections,
but the trip is well worth
the effort.

SEGORBE is situated at
the foot of the Sierra Calderona in Valencia and
heads the starting point of
another well-known beauty
spot: the Sierra de Espadán
in Castellón.
It is best known for its cork
oak forest where, using traditional methods, the cork
used by the wine industry
is still extracted.
A good idea is to make
your way from Segorbe to
Almedijar, which is about
half an hour away, and ask
the locals how to get to the
La Surera rural house.
There are several other
spots nearby where you can
watch the cork extractors at
work.
Driving around the area,

the bark has been recently
removed from the trees.
EL SALTO de la Novia is in
Navajas, a small village adjacent to Segorbe.
On its way through the
town, the River Palancia
has carved out a truly beautiful place.
The river plunges through
an iron-coloured gorge,
which without doubt, at
some time in the past, used
to be waterfalls.
Unfortunately, only a very
few falls remain, the best
of which is La Cascada de
Brazal.
If you decide to visit, be
aware that, owing to manoeuvrability issues, you
cannot drive all the way
to the bottom of the fall in
your car during the weekends.
It is a pleasant walk and
an ideal opportunity for a
picnic.
SEGORBE Cathedral is one
of the least well-known in
Spain, mainly because it is
a relatively small town.
That Segorbe has a cathedral at all, tells us a lot
about the importance of
this town in the province
of Castellón.
The monument is situated in the town centre next
to the recently-restored
town walls.
It was originally meant to
be a Gothic building when
construction work began
in the 13th century, but the
Classical style of the western frontage betrays the
fact that it was not finished
until the 16th century.
It has two false doors with
round arches flanked by
two pairs of enormous Doric columns topped with a
split pediment.

A rambler’s route through
the heart Sierra Calderona
ON the slopes of the Calderona there are several farms
that can be accessed along a
route that starts in the Plaza de la Constitución, which
is highly recommend to any
of our readers who enjoy a
good walk.
The route starts in
Segorbe’s Plaza de la Constitución. After 900 metres,
beyond Puente Nuevo, turn
left down the Camino de
Pescadores.
Follow the railway track
for two kilometres, then
veer right down a path leading south. At 3.2km, cross
underneath the Ojos Negros mine track, and where
the caminos de Cabrera and
Portillo meet, follow the
path to the Masía Coronel.
The path then leads to a
roundabout that gives access to the freeway, from there
you will be walking on tarmac.
Go straight on, ignoring
a number of smaller intersecting paths, and you will
cross Cabrera Valley, passing by La Rosa and Portillo
lagoons, and start going up
Portillo hill.
When you get to the top, at
Cuatro Caminos, continue
for 2.5km until you get to
the 1,500 year old La Morruda olive tree.
Half a kilometre further
on, you will find that the
tarmac runs out at the access road leading to the Masía
Ferrer.
However, one kilometre
before you get to the ancient
olive tree, you could turn
off left towards the Masía
Coronel, which is around
2.5km away.
After the olive tree, the
tarmaced path turns off to
the right, passing in front
of the afore-mentioned Masía Ferrer, where you can
have a fabulous meal and
rest for a while.
From there on, the path is
untarmaced. Carry straight
on towards the Masía Tristán.
After walking for 2km,
you will see a turn-off to
the right that goes down to
the nearby Sinainas spring,
or cava.
Continue along the path
which runs parallel to the
Agua Amarga dried-up river bed for 2.1km where the
path is joined by another
that runs between Tristán
and Gátova.
We are now on the slopes
of La Jabonera Hill, which
owing to its cork oak forest,
is of great ecological interest. From this junction, it
is just 1.2km to the Masía
Tristán.
The path is lined with
pine trees, which get denser
the closer you get to the attractive Masía, that is dwarfed by the silhouette of the
Monte Mayor.
You are in the heart of the
Sierra Calderona, a mythical mountain for Valencian
ramblers.

Throwing things, setting fire to objects,
loud bangs, even louder people,
music and merriment, oceans of
alcohol and an average of eight hours’
sleep a week…this sums up how the

expatriates coming into contact with
them either love the atmosphere or
curse the sleep-deprivation.
Samantha Kett takes a closer look at
some of the silliest of Spain’s fiestas.
M
OST of the biggest and best-known
fiestas have an obvious meaning, be it
Semana Santa, the Fallas in Valencia,
or the Moors and Christians in
southern and eastern Spain.
Others, however, are just plain daft. Throughout
the country, and possibly near you, unusual festivals
unique to the village are held throughout the year
– festivals that make perfect sense to the locals, but
leave anybody visiting completely baffled.
No fiesta is complete without scores of spectators
and participants becoming ludicrously drunk, and
in fact a number of fiestas are held in homage to the
devil’s elixir itself. In Potes, a village tucked away
in the Picos de Europa national park in Cantabria,
inhabitants annually celebrate the Fiesta del Orujo.
This potent alcoholic beverage, which sells by
the bucketload in souvenir shops, bodegas and
supermarkets all over the region, is treated as a
patron saint on November 11 and drunk in copious
quantities.
Originally distilled in monasteries in the Liébana
district to the west of Cantabria during the Middle
Ages, this liqueur is as much a regional emblem as
oranges are to Valencia. Music, dancing, plenty of
food and oceans of Orujo are enjoyed by locals in
traditional dress.
Closer to home, Xeraco and Beniopa in La Safor,
southern Valencia province, celebrate San Roro every
summer – the invented patron saint of drunks.
This veritable Bacchus fest started in mediaeval
Valencia and according to legend, young people in the
village would become devils – literally – and before
burning poor old San Antonio at the stake at the end
of the night, had free rein to grope all the women.
Fortunately the latter is no longer an obligatory
part of the fiesta, and if it happens the perpetrator
will probably blame the booze, plenty of which is
consumed as the festival’s purpose suggests.

small town of Buñol, to the west
of Valencia, for the largest tomatofight on the planet.
There are two main theories
covering the origins of the
Tomatina.
One is that of an old man who
used to wander round the town
singing like a cat with its tail
trapped in the door, until the
villagers became fed up and hurled
tomatoes from a nearby fruit and
veg stall at him.
The other is that a fight between
a group of youths and a crowd of
festeros dressed up as giants with
enormous heads got out of hand,
with the latter throwing tomatoes.
The youths decided to take
revenge, so when the ‘giants and
bigheads’ fiesta took place again
the following year, they brought a
huge stash of tomatoes and pelted
the festeros with them during the
parade.
For more than 60 years, that same
Wednesday in August has been
dedicated to tomato-throwing and
now involves some 100,000 tonnes
of the fruit and at least 40,000
spectators travelling into Buñol
by the busload.
A

fiesta
involves, literally, painting the
town blue and takes place in
Algaida, in the Murcia Region. The
Azulete festival, part of the town’s
pageant in homage to its patron
saint, includes a mock battle in a
field nearby where participants
hurl blue paint at each other. The
reason for this bizarre behaviour
has never been explained, and
nobody is clear about its origins,
but the Azulete continues to be
one of Murcia’s most popular and
best-loved fiestas.
Not all fiestas in Spain appear
to have a point to them, to the
untrained eye, and whether they
are a bit of harmless fun or a
ridiculous waste of time to be
avoided at all costs is open to
debate. Hot on the heels of El
Raïm, La Tomatina and El Azulete
is the Fiesta del Charco (literally,
the pond festival) held in the
small locality of San Nicolás de
Tolentino in Las Palmas de Gran
Canaria. Since mediaeval times,
villagers have amused themselves
on the same day every September
by hurling semi-naked men and
women into a huge lake.
This practice was banned in the
18th century and carried a penalty
of two weeks in prison and a
fine of four ducados (old Spanish
currency, before the peseta) for
those caught chucking their
friends and neighbours in the
mouth of the La Aldea river.
Fortunately for inhabitants who
do not mind getting wet or have a
list of people in mind they think
deserve a good ducking, the Fiesta
del Charco is very much celebrated
and now attracts around 20,000
participants every year. In fact, in
the punishing Canary Island heat
of September, a dip in the lake,
voluntarily or otherwise, is often
very welcome.

Later, on the last weekend of
January, the village of Santo
Domingo de Silos in the province
of Burgos holds a pageant in
honour of the boss.
The Fiesta de los Jefes involves
processions of people dressed up
as authority figures, animals and

on the ridiculous.

bulging eyes and horns, bearing

slow, dramatic tattoo. Although
vast numbers of theories, mostly based on ancient mythology,
have been cited as the origin of
Jarramplas, nobody really knows
why it all started or what it

S
OME say the Spanish will

or war heroes – only powercuts.
In 1994, Bérchules suffered
a blackout on December 31 and
the townspeople were unable to
count the new year in and eat
their grapes for good luck. The
same incident was seen in 1995 in
Valoria la Buena.
Not willing to miss out on the
celebrations that the rest of the
country were enjoying, both
towns, independently of each
other, decided to mark the new
year on the last Saturday in
August.
The tradition caught on, and now
the party takes place annually
independent of any powercuts on
December 31.
Christmas is always a good
excuse for a party, and some
parts of Spain like to liven it up
by going beyond the traditional
present-giving, turrón-munching
and over-indulging in alcohol.
Take Las Balsicas, a hamlet
belonging to Mazarrón, which
holds a ‘braying festival’ – the
Fiesta de Rebuznos – on Christmas
day.
Donkeys used to be the backbone of the agricultural sector,
which was once the mainstay of
Spain’s economy, but nowadays
apparently serve little purpose
and are frequently the butt of
numerous jokes.
Las Balsicas decided to speak
out on behalf of this marginalised
and misunderstood creature in a
bizarre pageant that starts with
someone braying in the parish
vicar’s ear, who in turn brays at
someone else, normally a person
elected by those present, although
the first ‘brayees’ are usually the
village’s main authority figures.
The process continues rather
like Chinese whispers. Next, a
person is pulled out of the crowd,
groomed and shod before being
discharged with a hard kick.
If you really believed, then, that
Spanish fiestas were all about
fireworks and costumed parades,
be prepared to get kicked, soaked,
painted blue, covered in tomatoes
and grapes, knocked out by flying sweets and chestnuts, or just
wind up blind drunk in a ditch
somewhere with no recollection
of how you got there. The dolçainers, mediaeval markets and public
paellas will seem incredibly tame
in comparison.

Europe gets the
thumbs up from
Pitt and Jolie
Allegedly, all is not well in the ‘Brangelina’ camp. Rumours abound
on the internet about disagreements over parenting, with insiders in
Hollywood claiming that if Brad walks he’ll take baby Shiloh with him.
However, for some time they have been planning to move to Berlin,
Germany, so they can bring up their children out of the limelight,
and according to reports, Pitt wants their children Maddox, 5, Pax,
3, Zahara, 2 and baby Shiloh to grow up in Europe.
Britain’s Daily Mirror claims Pitt told a
friend, “I want Angelina to settle
down somewhere out of the
limelight. She’s lost a lot of weight
recently and our plans are strictly to do with our move to Berlin.
“She wants to leave acting and support me with this. We also don’t want our kids
to go to school in Hollywood – it will be best if they can go to school in Berlin. We
love the city, and Europe, it’s so quiet and balanced, away from paparazzi.”
Pitt already has one home in Berlin and is planning a second, which he is
designing with architect friends who renovated his Los Angeles home. Apparently
Brad plans to work on the renovation and design of more homes in the city, and
has contracts that start from next September 2008. Coupled with plans to use the
Ciudad de la Luz film complex in Alicante for forthcoming movies, it looks like
Brad and Angelina will be seen more on our shores soon.
Celeb Big Bro Axed
Britain’s Channel 4 said on Friday it has scrapped next year’s
Celebrity Big Brother, one of its most popular shows, in sweeping
changes to its primetime schedule after being accused of
“dumbing down” its content.
Kevin Lygo, Director of Television, said all but one of the programs
currently shown at 9 p.m. will disappear from the 2008 lineup to clear the decks for new shows.
“It is time to be brutal with some much-loved shows in
order, once again, to make way for the new,” he said.
“Our ratings will almost certainly continue to fall, but the
alternative is more of the same and that is not what the
channel is about.”
Channel 4, which has been accused of “dumbing down” its
content, has faced intense speculation over its future, with
some reports suggesting the government may sell it.
It was forced to apologies after a race row engulfed this
year’s Celebrity Big Brother and has been caught up in the
recent scandal over TV phone-in competitions.
Thousands of viewers complained after Indian actress
Shilpa Shetty was repeatedly abused by fellow
‘Silent Bob’ Kevin Smith takes
on television
Director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma, and Chasing Amy), who
also plays the reoccurring character Silent Bob in his films, is
moving to the small screen.
In keeping with his comic-book sensibility, Smith is set to direct
episodes of the new Autumn series Reaper, plus Heroes: Origins,
the spin-off of last year’s hit show, and the landmark sci-fi series
Battlestar Galactica. Smith said that he’s really blown away
to be asked to direct these episodes; “It’s cool, but it is scary
because it is like, ‘What! I can’t bring anything to that show.’”
Kevin Smith has also been offered roles as an actor in his own
right, appearing in films like Catch and Release, opposite
Jennifer Garner and Timothy Oliphant.

Prison Leak
Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell spilled the beans on some of
what’s in store for the next season. Whereas the show started
in Fox River’s State Penitentiary, now the team of would-be
escapees are in an even more hardcore environment.
“We’re dealing with a Panamanian prison that doesn’t
have any rules. It’s a lawless society within prison walls.”
Purcell declares with an amiable grin.
The series has a legion of fans who can’t wait to see the boys
get tough and would happily let Prison Break run and run.
“My gut says that the show has got about four or five years.”
Purcell states. “Four or five more seasons...but on the other side of
it, it’s about economics. Prison Break is a phenomenon around the
world. So it’s up to Fox chief, Rupert Murdoch. And then Murdoch
might just say, “You know what? This show is making way too
much money...it’s making billions and billions and billions
of dollars around the world. It’s staying on the air.” So, who
knows?
The new season kicked off on Fox this Wednesday at 8pm.

Over
The
Hedge
Saturday September 1 - Sky Movies Premier 07.00pm
J
ust whose backyard is it,
anyway? Spring has sprung,
and Verne and his woodland
friends awaken from their long
winter’s nap to discover that a large,
green hedge has cropped up right
through the middle of their once-natural habitat. Enter RJ, an opportunistic
raccoon who explains that the world
beyond the hedge is “the gateway to
the good life” where peculiar creatures called humans live to eat, rather
than eat to live. “For humans,” RJ
proclaims, “enough is never enough.”
Suspicious and even a little jealous of
the charismatic smooth-talking RJ, the
ever cautious Verne wants to keep his
blended family safely on their side of
the hedge. But, proving the adage that
one man’s garbage is another man’s-or, rather, animal’s treasure, the manipulative RJ has his own reasons for
convincing the woodland band that
there is little to fear and everything
to gain from their over-indulgent new
neighbours. Eventually, RJ and Verne
form an unlikely friendship as they
and their furry friends learn to coexist
with – and even exploit – this strange
new world called suburbia.

Ashley Albright is the luckiest woman in the world, a person to
whom all the good things in life have come far too easily. And
she has a terrific job as an account exec at a prestigious public
relations firm. And now, she’s been given a great opportunity
to advance her career: she is to plan a masquerade ball in
downtown Manhattan for record mogul Damon Phillips
and his company. Jake, on the other hand, is a bad luck
magnet. His job is cleaning toilets at a bowling alley. But
even a steady bombardment of catastrophes doesn’t
dim Jake’s dreams. He thinks he may have his chance
with his discovery of a rock band McFly. If Jake can
keep his bad luck at bay for just one night, he’ll sneak
into a masquerade ball and get McFly’s CD into the
hands of music titan Damon Phillips. On this night
when dreams can be made or broken, fate brings Ashley and
Jake together on the dance floor. they share an electrifyingly
kiss-and with that one kiss, they switch places.

Sky Movies modern greats 23.00 - 01.10
Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to
the tough, the corrupt, the brokenhearted,
Some call it dark. Some call it hard-boiled.
Then there are those who call it home.
Crooked cops. Sexy Dames. Desperate vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge--others
lust after redemption. And then there
are those hoping for a little of
both. A universe of unlikely
and reluctant heroes still trying
to do the right thing in a city
that refuses to care.

Alex Rider is a normal teenager who lives with his uncle, a boring bank manager, or
so it seems until his uncle, Ian Rider, disappears under mysterious circumstances.
Alex soon learns that his uncle was a spy for Britain’s secret intelligence service
MI6. Uncle Ian had actually prepared Alex for a career in
espionage
by
encouraging his hobbies, and with Alex’s skills he is
recruited by
Mr. Blunt and Mrs. Jones, and armed with special
gadgets, he embarks on his first mission. Billionaire
Darrius Sayle is donating a free Stormbreaker megacomputer to every school in Britain. But is there
more to his generosity than meets the eye? Going
undercover, he infiltrates Sayle’s compound.
While exploring a restricted area, Alex begins
to figure out the mysterious Stormbreakers–he
knows he’s onto something big. Suddenly,
Sayle and his evil henchmen capture Alex.
Using his cunning and his MI6 gadgets,
Alex manages to escape. He hitches a ride
to London to stop Sayle from activating the
Stormbreakers and releasing their secret
weapon throughout Britain. Within days he’s
gone from schoolboy to super spy, but will his
first assignment be his last?

A road trip to the biggest college football championship of the year takes a turn for
the worse for Carly, Paige and their friends, when they decide to
camp
out for the night before heading to the game. A confrontation
with a mysterious trucker at the camp site leaves everyone
unsettled, and Carly has her hands full trying to keep the
peace between her boyfriend Wade and her hot-headed
brother Nick. They wake up the next morning to find that
their car might have been tampered with, preventing their
departure. At the risk of being stranded, they accept a local’s
invitation for a ride into Ambrose, the only town for miles. Once
there, they are drawn to Ambrose’s main attraction–Trudy’s
House of Wax, which is filled with remarkably life-like wax
sculptures. But as they soon discover, there is a shocking
reason the exhibits look so real. They are stalked by a
mysterious killer and find themselves in a bloody battle for
survival. The group must find a way out of Ambrose–or
become permanent additions to the House of Wax.

On and beneath the meanest streets of Glasgow, fiery gangster Bart is merciless with debtors, would-be rivals, and anyone else to whom he takes even a
passing dislike. How does Bart maintain his chokehold? Through his unwitting
enforcer Danny, who he has “raised” since boyhood. Danny
has been kept as a near-prisoner by his “Uncle” Bart; trained to
attack and, if necessary, kill. Danny knows little of life, except
the brutal existence that Bart has so crudely and cruelly
fashioned for him. But when Danny has a chance encounter with soft-spoken blind piano tuner Sam, he
senses true kindness and compassion for the first
time and experiences the transforming power of
music. When a sudden gangland coup separates Danny from Bart and his mob, Danny is at
last away from the underworld. He takes refuge
with Sam and his spunky teenaged stepdaughter
Victoria. Sam and Victoria open their home and
hearts to Danny, who begins to envision a new future for himself. However, the mob will not give up
its prize pupil so easily, and Danny must soon fight
again, and fight back, to protect his new family
and bury his troubled past.

Deep in the Romanian forest, a team of scientists stumbles upon the ruins of a 13th
century Abbey. On further inspection, they make a startling discovery--the Abbey is
built over the entrance to a giant underground cave system. Local biologists believe
the cave could be home to an undiscovered eco-system, so they hire a group of American cave-explorers to help them investigate its depths. Jack and his brother Tyler
are thrill-seeking professional cave explorers who run a team of the top divers in the
world. They arrive in Romania with all the latest equipment, including a new type of
scuba tank allowing a diver to remain submerged for up to 24 hours. The crack unit,
which also includes Charlie and Buchanan, immediately begins their exploration. But
what they find deep inside the cave is not just a new eco-system, but an entirely new
species altogether.

A Federal Agent turns up dead on the mean streets of Detroit. When it’s learned
that the Agent was “on the take” in a multi-million dollar arms heist, all eyes
turn toward his partner, Derrick Vann, a hardcore undercover
Federal Agent known for his untrusting, street-wise style. Vann’s
given 24 hours to recover the stolen arms and find the cop
killers, but he’s about to stumble upon an unlikely
ally.
Enter Andy Fiddler, an affable, optimistic dental
supply salesman in town for a two-day convention. When the bad guys mistake Andy to be
the buyer in a stolen arms deal, Vann is forced
to utilize the talkative salesman as “the face” of
his sting operation. With the clock ticking, this
unlikely duo speed through the streets of Detroit in
an intense and hilarious adventure that uncovers
much more than they could have ever anticipated.

With the exposure of well-kept secrets and the tough resolve
of one betrayed Vampire warrior, a centuries-long struggle
between vicious predators has reached new heights of
fierceness. But it’s one Immortal’s insatiable lust for power
that leads to disturbing new disclosures about the origins
of the feud between the Vampires and the Lycans. The
past just got very twisted, and the future may reveal an
entirely new breed, the likes of which no one has ever
seen. Hunted vampire Selene seeks out Marcus, king
of the Vampires, in the hope of bargaining for her life.
Hybrid Michael wants to join Selene in her quest but is
unable to trust the werewolf raging uncontrolled inside
him, and she refuses his companionship. Their love
proves more powerful than genetics, however,
when Marcus descends upon Selene, intent on
annihilating her.

Peter Gibbons is an office drone like many
others, and he hates his routine life. One day, the
occupational therapist who was hypnotising him
keels over dead, leaving him with a permanantly
altered attitude. Asked to come in on weekends,
he responds by coming in only when he wants
to, playing games on his computer and moving
furniture to give himself a better view. But instead
of firing him, the company takes this oddness as
evidence of his managerial potential.

Peter LaFleur is a charismatic underachiever
and proprietor of a rundown gym called
Average Joe’s. Peter’s humble gym catches the
eye of White Goodman, the power-mullet-sporting, Fu-Manchu-d, egomaniacal owner of Globo
Gym, a gleaming monolith of fitness. White
intends to take over Average Joe’s, and
Peter’s non-existent bookkeeping is making
it all too easy for him. A foreclosing bank
has stationed attorney Kate Veatch inside
Average Joe’s to finalize Globo’s takeover
of the gym. But Peter’s boyish charms win her
over and Kate joins his team of social rejects
to beat the odds--and their own ineptitude--to
try to save Average Joe’s. How? A showdown
dodgeball competition against Globo Gym.

Dickinson’s Real Deal
Today, David and the
team are in Norwich. Jo
Brayshaw attempts to buy
Mick’s family silver - but
he has brought his daughter
along to help negotiate.
She may be in a pushchair,
but she is no pushover and
Jo has to make an offer that
will keep both happy!
Meanwhile, dealer Ian
Towning offers Peter £150
for his Lalique statue, but
Peter’s wife is confident it is
worth more. David isn’t sure,
but at auction David and
Peter look on as Peter’s wife
is proved right, leaving the
Duke to eat humble pie.

Killing time at the local mall, T.S. and Brodie lament
the fact that they’ve both lost their respective girlfriends
on the same day. One relationship goes awry when
T.S.’s girlfriend, Brandi, explains that her friend,
who was scheduled to appear on “Truth or Date,”
a TV game show, has died unexpectedly and
now Brandi plans to fill in for her. The other
romance ends when Brodie, a video game
addict, is so inattentive that his girlfriend,
Rene, up and leaves. Both guys spend the
day, as always, at the mall discussing their
problems with their slacker friends. It all culminates at the taping of the show, when T.S.
and Brodie make their way onto the panel in an
attempt to win back their girlfriends.

Loki and Bartleby are two angels that have been far
from angelic. When they are banished from heaven
and sent to Wisconsin, they concoct a dangerous
plan that involves sneaking into a church rededication ceremony that will grant them
the holy latitude to re-enter heaven
against God’s will -- an act that will
prove God’s fallibility and therefore, by extension, negate the existence of all mankind.

Next Tuesday’s full moon is
also a lunar eclipse – highlighting language issues
for you generally. For some
months you’ve been aware
that you needed to improve
your descriptions (at work
perhaps as a result of marketing exercises, and at home
to make clear just how much
someone means to you).
If you think of yourself as a
radio receiver, over the next
few days, you could tune in
to new wavelengths. It’s even
possible that your telepathic
abilities will improve. Relationships tested by separation might well benefit. You
might also find that friendships with those born under
Virgo arrive at a new phase.
AQUARIUS
LEO
These next few days look interesting! True, there’s Tuesday’s lunar eclipse which
could result in a few people
being more emotional than
usual - with subsequent relationship volatility. It’s what
happens on Saturday that
could be more important
though. With Venus opposing Neptune you could be
taken on a magic carpet ride
of emotional and romantic
thought.
If you’re not involved with
anyone and are simply trying to impress, you could hit
jackpot on Saturday. Your apparent togetherness and ability to coordinate could bring
rapt attention, but it’s likely
that these are not the perfect
ingredients to be the basis of
a long-term partnership.
Dec 22 – Jan 19
Jan 20 – Feb 18
PISCES
Feb 19 – March 20
Next Tuesday’s full moon is
also a lunar eclipse - in your
sign. This suggests a staging
post in a key relationship. It
doesn’t necessarily mark the
end of a union - but might
well indicate the need for a
new pace. All this could be
preceded on Saturday by a
major
misunderstanding
and/or by confusion about
your general direction.

You may feel destabilised,
- either through property
matters or because you’re
unsure of your general direction. This state of mind
won’t prevent you from enjoying a party on Saturday,
when you’ll be stimulated in
many different directions.
Friendships with those born
under the signs of Taurus,
Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius
appear high profile.

Next Tuesday marks the beginning of the second of this
year’s eclipse seasons. From
the lunar eclipse on Tuesday
until the solar eclipse on
September 11, changed dynamics and variations in the
Earth’s magnetic field could
result in many people shifting position. The norm is for
far-reaching decisions to be
taken during these periods.
Your compassionate, sensitive side may be on show and
bring you admiration from
several quarters. It’s probable that you’ll find the courage to reach out and over your
comfort zone. Though it’s not
usually your style to take too
many emotional risks, this
time your sense of humour
could be near the surface so
that if things do go ‘wrong’
you’re not too bruised.

Deep-seated change is probable. It would hardly be surprising if you experienced
some upset and difficulty
next week. However, by the
time the moon reaches your
sign mid-week, you should
feel more comfortable with
changing conditions.

Tuesday, there is a lunar
eclipse. Obviously, this affects all signs. For you, this
could bring the requirement
that you review working
practices. How you blend
these with important relationships could be a major
factor in your thinking.
Starting the weekend with
a clear plan in my mind
should be possible.

Q
A friend that I have
known for 10 years
is constantly criticising
me for not spending
time with her and does
not seem interested in
hearing why I have not
been telephoning her
more.
Our relationship has
always been based on
me listening to her and
supporting her but now
I am tired of doing this
as I have had a lot of
difficulties this last
year and have needed
time for me.
My other friends say
I should ditch her but
I feel bad doing so.
What do you think?
A
In my opinion there
is only one rule for
friendship; it must be

sounds to me that your
friend needs you more than
you need her. An essential
feature of any friendship
is an absence of negative,
undermining criticism and
to learn to love one’s friends
for what they are.
If they have any ways
that differ from our ways or
ideas then it is important
that we do not brood about
the differences but accept
them with openness of mind
and generosity of spirit. It
sounds as if your friend has
difficulty in doing this and
accepting you for who you
are.
A friend is there to help
you as much or as little as
you need and happy for you
when things are going well.
Your friend is probably
angry that in her eyes the
rules for your friendship has
changed. Perhaps she feels
rejected by you and does not
know why and her way of
dealing with problems like
this is to project her anger
on to you and to blame you.
If she was able to examine
her own behaviour and then
ask you why it is that you
do not contact her as before
you may be able to change
your relationship so that it
is mutually satisfying for
you both.
The fact that you are
writing to me tells me
that you have some doubts
the
terminating
about
relationship.
Perhaps you feel bad
about not being completely
truthful with your friend
and want to finish the
relationship in a more open
way or maybe you feel guilty
that she needs you and it is
your responsibility to look
after her.
If it is the latter, it is
important that you analyse
your guilt and find ways to
overcome it. A relationship
based on duty is an
unhealthy one.
You could decide
to broach the subject
with her either by
person, telephone or
writing sharing with
your friend that when
she is angry with you
for not contacting her,
your response is to
withdraw even more
from her, which then
fuels her anger.
Perhaps you need to
spell out the difficulties
you have had this last
year and that you have
needed to have more
time on your own and
that you are sorry if she
has interpreted this as
your rejection of her.
If you decide to do
this it is important
that you do not criticise or
blame her and concentrate
instead on your feelings and
responses.
However you may decide
that you do not have the
time and energy to put into
resolving this conflict with
your friend. Good friends
should be low maintenance
and that goes for you too.
We need to see enough
of our friends to keep the
friendship going but neither
demand or avoid difficulties
in the relationship. Most of
us want to see people who
make us feel good.
Friendships often change
as we change during the
course of life.
ourselves
in
Change
means the dynamics in the
relationship changes.
This is when you find
out if the relationship has
the capacity to change or
whether it has come to a
natural end.
When a friendship no
longer works it is better to
make a clean break.

Pulse notes
First aid advice from PULSE FIRST AID TRAINING
Q
What is shock? I
am
confused
as
to how to distinguish
between shock caused by
something going wrong
inside the body and the
type of shock brought
about by a traumatic
event.
Can this latter form of
shock be life threatening
and can you outline the
correct way to deal with
such incidents?
A
The term ‘shock’ is
used to describe a
number of conditions, both
medical and psychological.
Shock to lay people often
means an emotional state
of
being
emotionally
traumatised
whereas
medically
to
most
physicians, except maybe
psychiatrists, shock would
be a physical state of being
acutely injured and having
insufficient blood supply
to vital organs — it is a
physical state that is lifethreatening.
Psychological shock can
occur after you are involved
in or witness a traumatic
event, but are otherwise
uninjured.
As with any shock
situation there are going
to be disruptions to the
normal blood flow, hence
there will be a tendency for
the person to feel faint (as
dramatized in numerous
TV and film productions).
Blood is diverted away from
the extremities leading to a
paler skin than normal.
Treatment
for
psychological shock is a
long term issue and can
be more complicated than
dealing with the immediate
emergency situation that is
physiological shock.
Following the incident or
‘shocking event’ the person
may seem fine at first, but
severe trauma can cause
psychological
problems
months or years later then
termed as post-traumatic
stress disorder.
If possible, remove the
person away from the
source of the shock and
provide reassurance.
I can remember arriving
at the scene of a motorcycle
accident a few years ago on
Ibiza. The rider was being
attended to by paramedics
yet nobody paid any
attention to the elderly
couple whose car he had
crashed into.
With
respect
to
physiological shock, there
can be numerous forms
with differing background
causes.
Types of shock
● Haemorrhagic (resulting
from the loss of blood)
● Metabolic (resulting
from extensive fluid loss in
an untreated illness).
● Cardiogenic (resulting
from injury to the heart
itself).
Signs and
symptoms of
shock
The key issue is that the
heart is no longer able to
supply the vital organs with
sufficient oxygenated blood
and the following points
are evidence that this is
happening:
● Pale,
skin
cold,
● Try to treat the cause
of shock, e.g. if due to a
major bleed you will need
to apply pressure directly
to attempt to slow down
the blood loss
● Lie the casualty down,
preferably on something
to insulate them from the
ground if it is cold
● Weakness and nausea
● Dizziness and feeling
faint
● Rapid and
breathing
and
● Loosen clothing at neck
and waist
● Toxic or septic (resulting
from the effect of toxic
substances on the body).
● Grey or blue colour to
skin and lips
● Raise the legs as high as
is possible to encourage
blood to stay in the core
of the body
● Anaphylactic (a form
of toxic shock that follows
an overwhelming allergic
reaction).
Anaphylaxis has already
been covered in an earlier
issue – if readers would like
a copy of this please e-mail
to the address below
● Monitor breathing and
pulse. You will need to be
prepared to resuscitate if
breathing stops. Have you
attended a first aid course to
learn how to do this?
clammy
● Neurogenic (resulting
from the loss of effective
nervous control of blood
vessels).
● Respiratory (resulting
from impaired breathing).

● The victim is shivering

● Confusion, restlessness,

Priority: Call 112 for an

● Cover with a blanket

If the casualty becomes
unconscious but continues
breathing you will need to
put them in the recovery
position. Do you know how
to do this?
The final two points
emphasise
the
later
deterioration of a victim
of shock.
Be aware
that this condition is
extremely serious and you
should consider it vitally
important to know what to
do in these circumstances.

To itch and not scratch?
SCIENTISTS have identified
two blood chemicals linked
to itchy eczema, which will
eventually offer new treatment
possibilities.
The
Chinese
University
of Hong Kong devised an
‘itchometer’ that was worn by
24 children and monitored how
much they scratched while they
slept.
Researchers found that as
scratching increased, so did
levels of two specific blood
chemicals, reported the British
Journal of Dermatology.
A British expert said the
finding could point to the skin
problem’s root cause.
One in 10 babies are affected
by the dry, scaly, skin rashes of
eczema, and the condition can
persist into adulthood.
Sufferers can be treated
with steroid creams, but the
mechanisms behind the eczema
itch are complex and poorly
understood.
The latest research adds
to evidence that two specific
What do the letters podatrists use really mean?
WHEN choosing a suitable podiatrist for your foot care, you may
encounter a bewildering range of acronyms and letters denoting
professional qualifications. Here is a guide to the most common ones
you will encounter, along with an explanation of what this really
means for you, the client.
HPC-registered
chemicals found in the blood
– brain-derived neurotrophic
factor (BDNF) and substance
P – are somehow connected to
itchy sensations.
The scientists recruited 24
children, with an average age
of 11, to wear a wrist monitor
which recorded wrist movement
during the night.
The assumption was that this
could record when the child
scratched in their sleep
– a reliable indicator of the
level of itchiness.
Blood tests from the
children showed that as
night-time
scratching
increased, so did the levels
of the two chemicals in the
bloodstream.
Kam-lun Ellis Hon, one of
the researchers, said: “As
far as we are aware, this is
the first report to demonstrate
that BDNF and substance P
are significantly linked to
the disease activity, quality
of life, as well as the levels of
scratching as recorded by the
wrist monitor.”
The President of the British
Association of Dermatologists,
Dr Colin Holden, welcomed the
report.
“For most eczema sufferers,
itching is the worst symptom of
the disease. It is known to keep
children awake at night, which
in turn affects parents and
can put pressure on the whole
family, and even affect children’s
performance at school, but by
discovering the mechanisms
behind the disease and its
symptoms, we can develop new
therapies that specifically target
the root cause of the problem.”
HPC-registered means that the
Podiatrist is registered with the
Health Professions Council (www.
hpc-uk.org). This is the regulatory
board
for
chiropody/podiatry,
physiotherapy and a number of
other health professions. An HPC
registered practitioner has to meet
certain minimum standards of
education.
The usual route to registration
with the HPC is by completing an
approved three-year degree-level
course. However, in the two years up
to July 2005 someone who had not
completed an approved three-year
course but who has been working
privately as an unregistered
podiatrist for at least three years
could apply for registration.
While HPC registration ensures a
minimum standard of experience it
does not necessarily mean that the
podiatrist is trained to the highest
level.

NOT the same as
M.Ch.S.
This means that the podiatrist
is a member of The Society of
Chiropodists and Podiatrists. You
can be assured that the practitioner
follows strict professional standards,
including full insurance.
Foot health practitioners
Anyone not registered with
the HPC can not call themselves
chiropodists or podiatrists. Some
have therefore adopted other titles,
such as Foot Health Practitioner.
This title is not protected in law
which effectively means anyone
can use it regardless of training or
experience. Courses are available
that after just a few weeks practical
tuition allow students to refer to
themselves as ‘fully qualified’ and
offer many of the same treatments
available from podiatrists.
Does it really matter?
A fully-qualified podiatrist will
look not just at your feet but at you
overall well being. A podiatrist
will ask about your general health,
whether you are taking any
medication and consider if any
problems could have wider reaching
implications.
You would not entrust your health
to a doctor who was not of the
highest standard – so why expect
less for your feet?

RULES AND ANSWERS TO THIS WEEK’S PUZZLES
RULES
CROSSWORD
SUDOKU
Lottery Lotto
Eliminate 43 balls and WIN THE JACKPOT! Link
all eliminated balls as you go.
Word wheel
Find as many words as possible using the
letters in the wheel. Each word must include
the letter in the centre, and at least three
other letters. Plurals and proper nouns do not
count. See if you can make some Spanish
words.
Solving Logic Problems
Read the information about the problem and
then, using the clues, solve the problem using the
grid. The grid cross-references all possible solutions and once you know whether a solution is
correct or not you can mark a definite “no” with
a cross and a definite “yes” with a tick. Once you
have marked off everything you can find out from
the clues, use the grid to find out new answers
and then check through the clues again – don’t
forget to include information in all the relevant
places in the grid! Use the reference table below
the grid to help you. (Hint: when you know something is right, don’t forget to cross off everything
that therefore must be wrong.)
Sudoku
Complete grid so that each column, row and
3x3 square contains the numbers 1 to 9.
Battleships:
Find all the ships in the grid. Some parts of the
boats or sea have already been filled in, and the
number next to a row or column refers to the total
number of squares in that row / column occupied
by ships. Boats may be positioned horizontally or
vertically but no boats can touch each other so
boat parts are never in adjacent squares – horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

He was knifed in the chest
and kidneys by the ex-lover
of his friend and work colleague, 20-year-old S.C.
S.C., a Romanian national, was stabbed to death
moments earlier in front of
her two-year-old son.
Officers say the attacker
was under a restraining order issued by the court for
physically abusing his exgirlfriend.
Juan Guillermo Ramos
– who remains in a critical
condition – and his parents
provided support and a safe
house for the deceased as
she had no family in Spain.
According to Juan’s parents, S.C.’s ex-boyfriend,
also Romanian, had threatened to kill their son, his
former girlfriend and their
daughter if the family did
not throw S.C. out.
They say it was S.C.’s
wish that Juan and his parents should take custody of
her child if she died. The
little boy remains in State
foster care until the social
services have ascertained
whether he has any family
to take him in.
Leaving party

This is part of a project
by the Saharian town-twinning Association, in which
these children are given

This rewarding experience – both for the children
and the foster parents – has

Seafront facelift
for La Vila
LA VILA Joiosa’s seafront
esplanade is set for a revamp this autumn to the
tune of two million euros.
The boulevard on Varadero beach was redesigned
earlier this year to coincide
with May’s local elections,
and has attracted numerous complaints, says the
reigning PSPV (socialist
party).
Palms and other trees
remain embedded in concrete and there is no irrigation system in place for
the plants, since the development plan was pushed
through too quickly by the
previous PP local government, they reveal.
Now, plans are afoot to
rectify the problems and
give the esplanade a facelift
once the summer season
ends.
the environment has announced that it intends to
expropriate the land for the
public to use.
The plot belongs to building firm Ballester, one of
the Costa Blanca’s main

Roman dig
discoveries
NEW DISCOVERIES have
been made in the ruins of
a Roman villa in La Vila
Joiosa.
The recently-uncovered
dig is thought to have been
built from materials exported from Rome in the
first century A.D.
This was discovered after analysing some three
tonnes of concrete reduced
to rubble when the ceiling of an old house in the
Roman town of Allon collapsed.
They say the manufacturer, Lucius Herennius
Optatus, carried the construction material for the
settlement all along the
Mediterranean coast from
the Italian capital.
Archaeologists say the inscription L’HER in the side
of the bricks gives away
their creator’s name.

Benidorm blackouts
blamed on unpaid bills
Terra Mitica without
power at height of
tourist season
By Sergi Castillo
RECENT blackouts in
Benidorm have been
blamed on the council
not paying its electricity
bill.
Spokesman for the socialist party, Agustín Navarro,
reveals that the local authority has an ‘immense
debt’ with electricity board
Iberdrola.
The board has apparently
threatened to cut off the
town’s supply on numerous
occasions as a result.
This, in Navarro’s opinion, explains why theme
park Terra Mítica was left
without power recently, in
the height of the tourist
season and at huge cost to

the centre’s profits.
Terra Mítica has recently
bounced back from serious
financial difficulties that
left it in receivership and
under threat of closure.
According to Navarro, a
demand for back payments
was received by the town
council on August 6, threatening to cut off the supply
of electricity in public areas if the debt was not paid.
Navarro says his party’s
hands are tied and has
asked the tax office for full
details of Benidorm’s debt
with Iberdrola.
He also commented that
electricity cables in the
town should be placed underground for safety reasons and to improve Benidorm’s image.
POWER CRISIS: Council’s unpaid bills caused chaos
British school opens in
Polaris resort
ANOTHER branch of
British school King’s College is due to open in the
Mar Menor area in time
for the next academic
year.
The sixth of its kind in
Spain, the school will open
its doors on September 12
in the Polaris World La
Torre Golf Resort, near
Torre Pacheco.
Following the British
national curriculum but
with an international
slant, the ultra-modern
new centre is already
taking applications for
places.
King’s College in Torre
Pacheco provides schooling for two- to nine-yearolds.
However, in the future
it plans to take in pupils
of up to 18 years of age
studying for A-levels and
the Selectividad, which
is the Spanish university
entrance exam.
The curriculum in British schools in Spain is
governed both by the UK
education authorities and
the Spanish Ministry of
Education.
Flood pump wrecks our
beach, say angry
Las Marinas residents
RESIDENTS in the Las Marinas area of Dénia have
complained that a rainwater pump is ruining their
beach.
They claim that the pump,
which is in the Llobell area
of the beach and was set up
to prevent flooding when
river levels become too
high after heavy rain, is
set to run up to four times
a day during the month of
August, but empties water
directly onto the sand.
Dénia’s former PP leader
Quique Sastre says the wa-
ter comes from canals and
rivers that are often stagnant and contain filthy residual matter.
It redirects water from
rivers to the sea to stop
them from bursting their
banks.
Sastre says numerous
children have had to be
treated in health centres
recently as they were playing on the beach near the
water.
He complains that two
weeks ago when the mechanism started to pump dirty
water out onto the beach
in the middle of the afternoon, various bathers
called the Local Police who
took no action.
Residents say the pump
runs even when it is not
raining. This suggests that
there is no risk of nearby
rivers overflowing at this
time.
They have reported the
matter to the Guardia Civil’s environmental wing,
Seprona and await some
significant response to preserve their beach.

ETA blows up van
Techniques show
links with Madrid
By Berta Chulvi
THE BASQUE terror Organisation ETA was said
to be behind the explosion of a stolen van in
Coves de Vinroma in the
Castellón province as
they apparently thought
that the police were on
to them.
The van had been stolen
from Messanges, in the
Landes area of France on
Friday, with the owners being held hostage for a time.
The blowing-up of the van,
with 80 kilos of explosives,
took place in an olive grove,
and police were alerted of
the incident just after 7 pm
on Sunday.
Jacobo Salvador, the Mayor of Coves de Vinroma
said that the van was blown
up near an electricity installation.
If ETA is confirmed as
the author of this explosion, the terror group used
a similar technique when it
blew up a parking area of
terminal four in Madrid’s
Barajas airport: stealing
the van in France and holding the owners hostage until the terrorist action had
been carried out.
On a visit to the site of
the explosion on Tuesday,
Vicente Rambla, the deputy
president of the Valencian government stated
that while the autonomous
government would do all it
could to collaborate with
Madrid over the investigation of exactly what had
happened, he also used the
occasion to once again demand more members of the
security forces be present
in the autonomy.
After visiting the area on
Tuesday along with Carlos Fabra, the President of
the Diputación of Castellón, Mr Rambla stated that
everyone was very lucky
that no deaths, injuries or
serious damage had taken
place, other than leaving
behind a 10-metre deep
hole, the burning of seven
olive trees, and some slight
damage to the electricity installation.
These plants take water
from the sea, extract the
salt and re-use it to provide
homes and businesses with
an on-tap supply.
Llinares apparently compared Benidorm to Altea,
where no cuts in supply
have been recorded since
2004 when the desalination
plant was installed.
CRATER: Eighty-kilo ETA bomb left nothing but a big hole in the countryside
Pérez said this was lies
and has allegedly complained that the central government has failed to invest
in the town’s supply.
Yet Llinares reminded Pérez that Zapatero’s team has
invested 1,100 million euros
in Benidorm’s water, which
will provide some 300 cubic
hectares until 2009.

August 31 - September 6 2007
Samantha Kett believes that Cartagena, so often overlooked, deserves more
B
elow the waves, above the
clouds, or on terra firma, this
fascinating city dating back
three millennia begs to be
explored…
SHARING its name with the arguably more famous resort town on the
Colombian coast, Cartagena is usually
unjustly ignored by daytrippers and
guidebooks.
DISCOVERING CART
Yet, as a massive naval base and one of
the earliest settlements in the country, its
territory having been crossed by Romans,
Carthaginians and Phoenicians, as well as
being home to Spain’s best-known aerobatic team, Cartagena deserves more than
a passing glance on the way to the sweeping
golden sands of the Mar Menor.
Few traces of these ancient civilisations,
however, remain in modern Cartagena.
Hannibal crossing the Alps on his elephant
may never have set foot in the town for
all the evidence that remains of his passage – in fact, even the amphitheatre was
knocked down and replaced by a bullring in
the mid-19th century.
Yet this cultural sacrilege is not the end
of the story. A multitude of churches, palaces and stately homes have been carefully
restored, much of Cartagena’s more portable heritage is on display in its vast array
of museums and its maritime history is
alive and well.
One of Spain’s largest commercial ports
and a prominent naval base, Cartagena is
responsible for much of the country’s floating history. Hardly surprising, given that
both the town and the harbour were built by
the Phoenicians in 227 BC, and the Spanish
Navy was heavily concentrated there in the
18th century.
Less famous now, the maritime tradition
has nonetheless left its stamp and turned
into a major tourist attraction, with sailing
fanatics and those with an interest in seafaring history making a beeline for the old
midshipman school, the naval and artillery
headquarters and the naval museum as well
as admiring the ornate dockyard gate.
Underwater treasures
Unfortunately for diving fans, the underwater archaelogical museum is very much
on dry land but its findings and artefacts
have all been dredged up from below the
waves, and its opening 25 years ago put
the town on the tourist map. The centre’s
impossible-to-remember title is the MNAMCNIAS, but it is unlikely you will have to
ask directions and risk sounding like you
are chewing gum as you cannot miss it
when strolling along the waterfront.
Once inside, among the lead ingots from
the nearby Sierra Minera quarry and stone
anchors dating back to the Romans, an awesome real-size replica of an old trading ship,
complete with amphorae or wine and oil
bottles and jars, takes centre stage. The collection is by no means complete, however,
as expert archaeological divers continue
to plumb the depths seeking submerged
treasure.
Flying high
Not all of Cartagena’s military
history exists on and under the
water, however, as much of it is
airborne.
Starting with balloon exhibitions
just over a hundred years ago, the
Murcia Region and Cartagena in
particular has a strong aviation
tradition. The Spanish Air Force
used to run ‘flying boats’ in nearby Los Alcázares from 1915 and
the region is also highly proud of
being the home of the late, muchcelebrated aeronautical engineer
Juan de la Cierva.
Whilst his name may not ring
many bells for the uninitiated, de
la Cierva is credited with designing a craft known as an autogiro,
which would later become the
blueprint for the first helicopter.
Visitors to Cartagena who have
a fascination for aviation should
take a trip to nearby San Javier,
home of the Murcia Region’s airport and military academy which
houses a complex, fascinating
exhibition of photographs, memorabilia and crafts that continue
in use.
In fact, if you have ever been to a
county show and witnessed an air
display in the UK – or, indeed, anywhere in Europe, North America
or the Middle East – there is a
good chance the Cartagena air
force was among the big, scary
machines circling the airspace
above.
Born in 1985, the patrulla águila (eagle patrol) has clocked up
more than 18,000 flying hours and
its aerobatics never fail to delight
spectators from Finland to Israel,
Turkey to Canada. The helicopter version, the patrulla ascua
– initially comprising F-86 Sabres
– performed a show at Expo 92
in Sevilla, using coloured smoke
to paint the Spanish flag in the
sky. Since then, creating rainbows has been a regular feature
of Cartagena’s seven aerobats
amongst victory rolls, loops and
other daredevil, travel-sicknessinducing stunts.
To gain a greater insight into
what goes on behind the scenes
and how the patrulla águila came
into being, the photo exhibition
at the aviation academy includes
pictures of squadron badges, the
runway, the barracks, the operations room, the hangar, the patrol
in action, uniforms, and historic
aircraft, telling the story of the
internationally-renowned patrol
from birth to the present day, covering its major achievements and
highlights.
Rewriting history
Quite contrary to visitors’
expectations, most of the historic
monuments Cartagena boasts
were built in the 18th and 19th
centuries rather than by Romans,
Carthaginians or Phoenicians.
What is left of the Roman amphitheatre is worth exploring, and
it has been partially reformed
in an attempt to recapture the
long history of the town that was
wiped out in one fell swoop in the
1870s when centralists sacked it
and destroyed everything apart
from about twenty of Cartagena’s
original buildings.
The naval town’s price for
declaring independence was that
it had to pick up the pieces and
rebuild itself, but this gave way
to the wild imaginations of architects, commissioned by wealthy
mine owners and tradesmen
whose extravagant tastes were
deliberate propaganda.
As a result, Art Deco and
Neoclassical styles predominate
and can be seen in the decorative
town hall, underground walls,
picturesque plazas and the main
street, the Calle Mayor.
Parts of the old city walls, built
in the 18th century, remain – particularly on the seafront where
they served to keep enemy forces
out. In fact, during this turbulent time for the city, most of the
inhabitants wanted to live within

TAGENA
the defence walls which meant
Cartagena resembled a Benidorm
beach in high season – not enough
room to go round.
The aristocracy did not live
in palatial buildings with wide,
sweeping lawns because, quite simply, there was insufficient space.
They showed off their upper class
status via the ornate, decorative
façades of their houses.
At the other end of the class
scale, the poorer residents of
Cartagena lived in tiny, narrow
alleyways that nowadays hold a
similar charm to the Lanes in
Brighton, with their quaint cafés
and exclusive handicraft shops.
Although little apparently
remains of Cartagena’s rich and
varied past, old methods of building and decorating die hard here,
like many other parts of Spain
that were invaded, reconditioned
and ultimately brainwashed by
Islamic culture in the Middle
Ages.
Although the bullring was
built in the mid-19th century and
restored in 1911, its architectural
style reflects that left behind by
the Moorish settlers during their
500-year reign in Spain.
Seemingly abandoned and
unloved on a stretch of scrubland, it was built on what used
to be the gladiators’ arena – a
mini Colisseum, in effect – in
which latter-day entertainment
was equally as gruesome as in
Roman times.
Despite its grisly purpose, the
bullring is a gem to behold with
its Islamic windows, doors, col-
umns and adornments.
Archaeological excavations continue in the arena, which has not
been used in a hundred years as it
was condemned as unsafe.
Sadly, however, what is left of
this relatively modern tribute to
the Muslim era is falling into rack
and ruin and, rather than restoring it a second time, it is likely
that it will be left to turn to dust
and replaced with a brand new,
modern one.
Like its predecessor, though, it
will be one of the largest, most
important and most-visited in the
country.
After strolling around the streets
admiring Arabic bullrings, stately homes and aeroplane and seafaring memorabilia, head coastwards from Cartagena where you
can dip your toes in the warm
waters of the Mar Menor or chill
out and pamper yourself in one
of the many spas to be found dotting the shoreline.
Renowned nationwide, this
‘inland sea’ between La Manga
and mainland Murcia boasts a
high salt content and warm temperatures all year round, much
venerated by the older generation
who claim bathing in the Mar
Menor soothes their arthritis.
Nowadays, the Mar Menor is a
highly-developed residential area
comprising a conglomeration of
luxury tourist resorts, many of
which have top-quality spas that
take advantage of the thermal
waters and marine minerals they
have to hand to offer a sophisticated range of pomping, preen-
ing and relaxation treatments in
expert hands.
A short distance from both San
Javier airport and Cartagena
itself, there can be few better ways
of rewarding yourself for broadening your cultural horizons trekking round the town and taking in
its fascinating sights.
It is no surprise that some 300,000
Brits are predicted to have made
their home on the shores of the
Mar Menor within the next decade, and that the Murcia Region’s
inhabitants were recently found
to be amongst the happiest folk
in Spain. With all that at your fingertips, and less than a day’s drive
from anywhere in the Comunitat
Valenciana, put Cartagena near
the top of your list of unlikely
corners of Spain to explore.

Q
I was appointed
in a will co-heir
of the life interest
on a property. I have
not yet accepted the
inheritance since I do
not know the Spanish
law and I am not sure
of what I should do.
My uncle died one
month ago. He had made
a will in Spain since he
had an apartment in
Dénia.
The
ownership
of
this property was left
to one beneficiary, but
five others were each
left a lifelong Right
of Occupation; I am
not sure of what that
means.
In the event that the
property is sold, the
will states the owner
keeps 50 per cent of the
net proceeds of the sale,
and the remaining 50
per cent will be equally
distributed among the
five persons with right
of occupation.
According
to
the
information we have,
Property Registrars in
Spain require a Deed of
Ratification to be signed
before a notary by the
five persons who were
left a life interest.
Three of the heirs
are suspicious of the
situation
and
have
already refused to sign
the deed, or any other
documentation or to
provide their passport
numbers, as requested.
With the details I have
given you, I wonder if
you could tell me what
will happen to the
property now?
Will the three people
who did not sign the
deed lose their rights on
the property in favour
of the other two and the
owner?
The
three
abovementioned people wrote
a letter to the freeholder
requesting information
but did not receive any
answer. Could you please
also tell us if there is
any time limit on all of
this?
A
The
beneficiaries
of the ‘life interest’
(or Right of Occupation,
in Spanish, usufructo),
will have to sign a deed
of acceptance of the will,
which would then enable
them to register their
interest in the property.
Those
who
do
not
manifest their acceptance
of the will, will have a
period of 30 years to accept
the inheritance.
However, article 1.005 of
the Civil Code states that
any person with an interest
in the inheritance can file,
in courts, a petition to the
named person in the will
to manifest whether they
accept or reject their share
of the inheritance.
The judge will have to
summon the inheritor,
within 30 days, in order
for the inheritor to declare
whether he/she accepts
the inheritance, with a
warning that a refusal
to appear in court and
make a decision will be
considered an acceptance
of the inheritance.
You may well be forced,
in lieu of art. 1.005, to
make a decision if other
co-inheritors request it.
In summary, any inheritor
should either reject or
accept the inheritance, or
alternatively
challenge
the will in the courts, if
they deem it is invalid
according to the provisions
of the personal law of the
testator.
In my opinion, not doing
anything is not an approach
which will benefit the
passive inheritor.
Those who have accepted
their inheritance portion
or share of the life interest
will be able to register it,
and obviously enjoy the
proceeds or income from
that
property,
namely
rental income or holiday
enjoyment.
The inheritors who do
not accept it in a public
deed but perform acts
which can only be done
by the beneficiary of
the life interest will be
automatically
deemed
to have accepted the
inheritance. For example,
enjoy a holiday or receive
their rental share.
As far as the beneficiary
of the bare ownership is
concerned, he will be able
to sell the bare ownership
of the house, mortgage it
and do anything with it
but live in it or alter the
configuration of it.
Obviously, any act of
disposition of the house
will be restricted to the
bare
ownership
only,
without the life interest.
Q
Do verbal contracts
end if one of the
parties to it dies?
My father-in-law made
a verbal agreement to
sell some stones of a
ruinous house located
on his plot of land.
He died one month ago;
the money agreed as a
sale price was not paid
and the stones remain
there. The purchaser
wants to go on with
the sale. Can we, the
inheritors, ignore this
verbal contract?
A
If your father made
a verbal agreement,
it would be very difficult
to prove such agreement
took place, unless there
are more witnesses other
than
yourselves,
the
inheritors. If you accept
the inheritance, then you
will receive the assets left
by your father.
However, as universal
heirs, you also take over
his debts, if this is the
case, and the obligations
arising from the contracts
he entered into (except
for the so-called personal
obligations, for instance
the creation of an artistic
piece of work, which do
end with the death of the
person obliged to carry
them out).
Since the obligation of
selling the stones remains
valid, the person with
whom your father entered
into the contract of sale
may file a claim against
you.
Nevertheless, he will
have to prove the existence
of the agreement, and this
could be difficult without
witnesses.
In any case, bear in mind
that as heirs accepting
the inheritance, you are
considered to assume the
position of your father.

Q
I have been contacted
by a company which
is selling shares in
private companies.
How did they obtain
my details and are they
legitimate?
A
I have written on
this subject before,
although the scams are
becoming more commonplace and, as they evolve,
are also becoming more
sophisticated and are
therefore hooking victims
in greater numbers.
The
most
common
means of obtaining your
contact details is by
searching through lists
of shareholders in the
Registers of Members of
other companies. If you
own shares in a UK Plc then
it will not be difficult to get
hold of this information.
‘Boiler rooms’ is the
phrase given to companies
usually working in this
way and the ‘investment’
proposals put forward
often appear very attractive
and are ‘guaranteed’ to
increase in value. This is,
of course, impossible, and
should sound the alarm
bells immediately.
Together with a registered
IFA, I reviewed an elderly
client’s
portfolio
who
had spent approximately
£30,000 (about 44,150€) on
shares offered for sale over
the telephone.
The good news was the
companies mostly based
in the UK actually existed
(which is not always the
case); the bad news was
that the value of the
share portfolio came to
approximately
£2,500
(roughly 3,678€).
Unfortunately, the most
common venue in which
the boiler room operation
is set up is here in Spain.
It goes without saying

that British people living in
Spain therefore risk being
targeted, either through
information contained in
shareholder lists or, more
directly, through the complex web of unregulated
financial advisers operating here.
This is not Spain’s fault,
however, and one should
not expect the Spanish
authorities to go out of
their way to deal with any
of this.
The fraudsters choose to
operate through a number
of jurisdictions in order
to make the detection and
punishment of any crime
more difficult.
One of the most common
ploys is to make the first
few investments appear
relatively successful.
This tactic is used in most
pyramid-type schemes.
It is only when the investor then attempts to withdraw some of their ‘gains’
that the cover is blown and
the investor is left high and
dry.
The most appropriate
response if you are contacted is to request confirmation in writing that
the company offering the
investment is registered
with the Financial Services
Authority in the UK.
If they are not, then they
should be able to write to
you explaining why they
are exempt from such registration, and possibly
what alternative regulatory body covers their activity.
Pressure is likely to be
applied, although saying
‘no’ is almost certainly the
only sensible response.
I trust the above is clear
although please feel free to
give us a call at any time
on (0034) 96 642 61 85 if you
wish to discuss the above
or any other issues.

Doing it my way!
Cutting-edge travellers create own trip
In this day and age, we have
more options available to us for
cheap travel than ever before.
At our fingertips we have
unusual destinations, fascinating
excursions and dynamic packages,
plus accommodation ranging
from an airport floor to the Ritz’
honeymoon suite. Even if money
and time are tight, all we need
is a little imagination … and an
internet connection. Don’t ignore
your local high-street travel agent,
though. Amazing offers and eyeopening travel opportunities are
not unique to cyberspace.
By Samantha Kett
ONCE, only those with
money went abroad. Then,
package holidays opened
the doors to the world
for even the strapped for
cash. Nowadays, almost a
thousand million people
travel abroad at least once
a year, often at the drop of
a hat, and many – like expatriates living in Spain
– book a one-way ticket.
Low-cost airlines owe
their success to the internet, and despite the fact
that travel agents continue to be a strong presence
on every high street, DIY
trips are overtaking package holidays.
Anyone who does not
take a look on the web
before booking their
annual vacation could be
spending more than they
should, and losing out on
a long list of potential
destinations and tailormade excursions.
Adding to the phenomena of www.es.lastminute.
com and cheap flight
sites, now we can consult
Wikipedia, the world’s
most popular electronic
encyclopaedia.
Wikitravel was created
in July 2003 by Michele
Ann Jenkins and Evan
Prodromou with the aim
of providing a worldwide
online guidebook and
travel agency in 17 languages including English,
Spanish and Catalan and
covering 24,000 destinations.
Child’s play
Whizzes on the web are
becoming younger by the
day. The only site manager
of Wikitravel in Spanish,
Jesús Rodríguez, is not yet
18 and has been working
for Wiki since he was 16.
A resident of Alcorcón
in the Comunidad de
Madrid, Rodríguez will
have no trouble paying
off his student loan when
he starts his degree in
pharmaceutical studies at
Complutense University.
Although his summer job
in an ice-cream parlour prevented him from trying out
23,999 of the destinations
published, he intends to
travel around Madrid taking notes to add to the site.
More people to manage the
site in Spanish are sorely
needed, Rodríguez confides,
as Wikitravel in English
has become a tremendous
success, thanks to its wellvoyaged team of writers.
Rodríguez has recently
set up Wikitour, a forum
where travellers discuss
their experiences on the
Wikitravel site, giving those
new to their destination a
personal insight of what
their life will be like for
anything from a long weekend to several years when
they set foot in their new
city or country.
No-frills trips
Expatriates living in this
part of Spain who continue
to have family or friends
living in their native land
will be familiar with budget
airline sites. www.ryanair.
www.easyjet.com,
com,
www.bmibaby, www.flymonarch.co.uk and www.flybe.
com are some of the most
popular.
If you book far enough
in advance and are flexible
with your dates, times and
destination airports, some
incredible bargains can be
scooped up.
To save hours wading
through websites it is often
worthwhile taking a look
at www.es.lastminute.com,
the Spanish version of
www.lastminute.com which
allows you to book flights
and hotels from airports
in Spain to cities all over
the world (click on vuelos
GREAT WALL OF CHINA: Wonders and fascinating excursions can be visited on a budget
Chichén Itzá only a click away
for flights only, or vuelos y
hoteles for accommodation
thrown in).
The results include many
the aforementioned
of
cheap airlines, depending
on who has the best rate at
the time.
Spanish travel sites are cottoning on to the commercial
benefits of offering cheap
travel, and whereas Spain
was once a country where
the average family spent
their summer holidays in
Torremolinos,
Cullera,
Almería and Torrevieja, the
younger generation in particular are heading further
afield.
The launch of www.
vueling.com, still in its
infancy, but nevertheless
handy for those living within comfortable distance of
Valencia, Sevilla or Madrid
airports, is steadily growing and offering cheap deals
to European cities including Rome, Brussels, Milan,
London, Paris, Amsterdam,
Lisboa and Venice, plus
many more within Spain.
Currently, vueling.com
only travels to Paris and
Brussels from Alicante and
there are no flights from
Murcia.
As for cheap accommodation, if you would sleep
almost anywhere but a busshelter to save money, take
a look at www.couchsurfing.

Finally, if you are fed up
with getting stuck next to
someone who snores, leers
or chats incessantly on the
plane, you can select your
own seat-mate via www.airtroductions.com.
Register, fill out a profile
(look for Ioin_21’s details on
the home page, which starts
“I am French and I have

number, date, time and destination.
A list of all passengers
currently booked on your
flight will come up and, if
more people reserve seats
before departure, you will
be contacted by email.
Is this the end for
travel agents?
A categoric ‘no’ is the
response from the industry
– whilst in the Comunitat
Valenciana alone, 70 per
The world is our oyster
cent of people prefer to
arrange their trips via the
internet, this does not mean
the traditional high-street
agency has had its day.
In fact, new branches
continue to open and
the major chains are
highly
experiencing
favourable results.
What is their secret? Well,
if you can’t beat them,
join them, says Vicente
Blasco Infante, head of the
Valencian Travel Agencies’
Association. If holidaymakers want to organise their
own trips, give them the
tools to do it.
In the past, the public
tended to book organised
package trips with a list of
optional excursions set in
concrete; now, we want it all
our own way.
We want to be able to stay
in the type of accommodation that best suits us, in a
location that appeals to us,
and have the chance to go
on day-trips to parts of the
area that particularly fascinate us.
Travel agents, in response,
are now preparing holidays
that are completely tailormade to meet the individual customer’s stringent
demands – ‘dynamic packages’, as they are known in
the trade.
These are, of course, lowcost where possible, and
even allow you to select the
airline you would rather
travel with.
Like this, travel agents
are no longer simply a
‘holiday shop’, although
they continue to operate
this very vital function.
They are becoming highly
professional ‘travel consultancies’.
“In the same way that
a chemist can advise you
about the advantages of
a determined medication,
we advise, orientate, and
search for what best suits
the client,” reveals Blasco
Infante.
Naturally, even where
travel agents struggle to
undercut the prices of
internet-based voyages,
they have a wide range
of trips at their fingertips
with a wealth of exciting
excursions.
Bespoke holidays are still
easier to pick up here than
on the net, even if they
cost a little more.
Likewise, we are more
likely to become aware of
amazing bargains by seeing them in a shop window,
even if ultimately we book
them on the internet.
The two industries work
together, rather than
against each other, and
the end result is that now
more than ever before –
and however strapped for
cash and time we may be
– the world really is our
oyster.

Yahoo faces human rights action Another small
step for man
YAHOO, the world’s
second-largest search
engine, has been accused
of helping China spy on
web-users who flout the
country’s stringent online censorship.
In September 2003, 56year-old Wang Xiaoning
was sentenced to ten years
in prison for ‘attempting
to incite’ various institutions to ‘overthrow’ the
government. His wife, Yu
Ling, claims he has been
tortured in prison.
Xiaoning’s
alleged
‘crime’ was to send via
email a bulletin suggesting the country should be
more of a democracy.
Another
so-called
‘cyberdissident’,
Shi
Tao, 38, was jailed for
ten years in April 2005
for reportedly spreading
state secrets.
The financial journalist
had revealed in an email
that the Chinese government was against the
15th anniversary celebrations of the Tiananmen
massacre.
Yahoo’s Hong Kong affiliate has been accused of
handing over IP addresses to the Chinese government, allowing it to trace
the senders of the offending emails.
An IP address is the
digital fingerprint that
identifies each individual
computer.
Xiaoning’s wife took
court action in San
Francisco against the US
multinational for having
passed on personal information without permission.
Yet Yahoo, whose representatives have been in
the dock since Monday,
claims its Chinese arm
was merely complying
with national law and
responding to a request
from the State for the
information later provided.
Whilst Yahoo claims
to ‘sympathise’ with the
prisoners and their families, its leader Michael
Callahan hints that the
fault lies with the ‘cyberdissidents’ since they were
aware of the laws in their
country covering internet
use.
Via a company blog,
Callahan
says
that,
although the company
condemns repression of
freedom of speech, “When
a US company sets up in
China, it faces a dilemma:
comply with the law or
leave.”
The World Organisation
for Human Rights has
offered its full support
to all ‘cyberdissidents’
behind bars or facing
prison.
In 2006 alone, 32 webusers received custodial
sentences.
OVER 40 years after
Neil Armstrong first set
foot on the moon, NASA
intends to repeat the
process.
This time, however, the
giant leap for mankind
will be made in a Boeing
aircraft.
Part of the ambitious
Constellation
project,
which will cost a whopping 514 million US dollars, the new rocket Ares
will be designed by the
airline manufacturer.
The Boeing rocket is
designed to fire the Orion
spacecraft into orbit when
the project gets off the
ground in 2010.
This is one of four contracts signed between
NASA and Boeing for
building rockets and satellites, the largest of which
comes in at a cool 7,500
million US dollars.

Alves hits
back at
Sevilla
SEVILLA defender Daniel
Alves has denied claims
he refused to travel with
the squad to Greece for
Tuesday’s
Champions
League match with AEK
Athens.
Alves is keen to move
away from the UEFA Cup
champions, who rejected a
£21.5m offer from Chelsea
this month.
“I want to make it clear
that I have never refused to
go on any trip,” said the 24year-old Brazil defender.
The defender was responding to remarks by club president José María del Nido
who spoke out on the club
website.
Alves, whose chances
of joining Chelsea appear
to have diminished following the Blues’ signing
of Barcelona right-back
Juliano Belletti last week,
added: “The coaching staff
told me to train with the
second team and I will fulfil
these instructions.
“It will give me the chance
to recover in the best way
from the slight injury that
prevented me from playing
in the league game.”
Alves missed the first leg
of the Champions League
tie with AEK, which Sevilla
won 2-0.
He was also absent from
Saturday’s 4-1 victory over
Getafe on the opening day
of the Primera Liga season.
President José María
Del Nido had earlier said:
“Daniel Alves has shown
a complete lack of respect
towards his colleagues and
the organisation by refusing to travel with the club
that pays him.”

chair
BARCELONA president
Joan Laporta insisted
today that he will reject
any move from Chelsea
or any other club to buy
Ronaldinho unless they
pay £85million for the
former world player of
the year.
That sum is the amount
written into Ronaldinho’s
contract as a buy-out clause
— meaning that if Roman
Abramovich sanctioned
such an extraordinary
move, the decision to accept
or decline the offer would
be down only to the striker.
Laporta
said:
“We
have had many offers for
Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto’o
and Lionel Messi but clubs
need to know that my
mobile is switched off for
any phone call to buy these
players from us.
“I am hostile to any move
for any of our top stars
and the only way in which
any club could obtain
Ronaldinho or any other of
our stars would be to pay
the full amount of his buyout clause.
“During the summer
we rejected an extremely
strong move from AC
Milan to buy Ronaldinho.
The
club’s
president,
Silvio Berlusconi, wanted
Ronaldinho but we rejected that move and what I
told Berlusconi about what
would happen if I sold him
has become legendary.”

Laporta privately admitted that he would be ‘chased
out of the country by the
fans’ if he ever sold the 27year-old.
He added: “We have taken
a decision that we want
to count on our top stars
[Ronaldinho, Eto’o, Thierry
Henry and Messi] for this
season because we depend
on them.
“The fact is that Eto’o is
the player for whom we
have received the most
offers, but the situation
remains the same for all of
them — we will not sell.”

Heinze signs
NEW Real Madrid signing Gabriel Heinze has
claimed he was forced out
of Manchester United after
falling out with manager
Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Argentine defender
completed a £6.8m move
to the Spanish giants this
week, after his preferred
move to Liverpool was
blocked by the champions.
He says his relationship
with Ferguson broke down
when he returned from a
knee injury to play at the
2006 World Cup.
“I upset him and things
were different from then
on. I had to leave,” he said.
“I went to Spain for recovery but Ferguson thought it

to play in Germany to the

not playing with words.
Barcelona may well want
to hold on to the Brazilian
but they would be powerless to prevent him leaving
should Chelsea’s Russian
billionaire decide to spend
more than double the world
transfer record.
The reason is that the process involves a buying club
depositing the full amount
of the buy-out clause
with the Spanish Football
League, who would then
tear up Ronaldinho’s contract and if the player opted
to accept a move to the buy-
ing club Laporta could do
no more than try to persuade him to stay with an
offer of higher wages.
Blues hopes
BIRMINGHAM are closing
in on the signing of Atlético
de Madrid midfielder Peter
Luccin.
Blues boss Steve Bruce is
keen to land the signature
of the 28-year-old Luccin
before the transfer window
closes on Friday.
“We are close to one or two
things – I hope by Monday
we will have something
done,” said Bruce.
“The player we are after
has got a really good pedigree.
“We have agreed his
wages, a fee and the length
of contract. I’d love to have
a young British midfielder
but you can’t get them for
whatever reason.”
Bruce, also linked with
Marseille
midfielder

gap in Saturday’s win over
Derby with on-loan Arsenal
player Johan Djourou.
FORMER trade union
leader Sir Bill Morris has
entered the running to
become the new chairman

ECB independent member.
He originally did not want
to replace David Morgan,
who is the International

But after a vote between
Mike Soper and Somerset
chief Giles Clarke was tied,
Morris will stand in the
second ballot.
Each candidate must be

MCC and find two seconders. The closing date for
nominations will be 17.00
BST on September 3.
Morris had been tipped to
stand in the original vote
but it ended up as a twoway battle between former
Surrey chairman Mike
Soper and current Somerset
chairman Giles Clarke.
Both polled nine votes
each, with either a county

Alonso cuts into
Hamilton’s lead
By Duncan Danley
LEWIS HAMILTON’S championship lead was cut to five
points by McLaren team-mate
Fernando Alonso after the
Englishman suffered a late
puncture in Turkey.
Hamilton was on course for third
place behind the Ferraris of Felipe
Massa and Kimi Raikkonen when
his right-front tyre fell apart with
15 laps to go.
The drama enabled Alonso to
slip by into third place and left
Hamilton in fifth behind BMW’s
Nick Heidfeld.
His car damaged by the puncture, Hamilton was not able to
fight back.
Massa wins in Istanbul
The 22-year-old had been forced
to trail back to the pits for the last
third of the lap at Istanbul Park,
and the flailing tyre damaged
some of the aerodynamic parts at
the front of his car.
That meant he was much slower than before the problem, and
Heidfeld was able to pull away,
leaving the McLaren driver to
concentrate on staying ahead of
Renault’s Heikki Kovalainen.
Hamilton said: “It was just a little bit of a problem. You always
have setbacks. I’m still leading by
five points. It is not over.”
Until the late puncture, Hamilton
had had an uneventful race, with
the Ferraris just too fast for him
to challenge at the front.
The red cars were never more
than a handful of seconds ahead
of Hamilton, but they had enough
pace to ensure he was never in the
fight for the lead.
Massa led away from pole position at the start as Hamilton,
lacking grip on the slippery side
of the track, lost second place to
Raikkonen.
Alonso, directly behind his teammate in fourth place on the grid,
fared even worse, and dropped
down to sixth behind both BMW
Saubers, which he had to follow
until they made their first pit
stops.
In Control
Massa was able to control the
race from the start.
The Spaniard made a couple of
abortive attempts to pass Heidfeld
once the German’s team-mate
Robert Kubica made his first pit
stop early on lap 12, but had to
wait until Heidfeld’s stop on lap 17
to assume fourth place.
The world champion stopped
only a lap later than Heidfeld, but
it was enough for the McLaren to
leapfrog the BMW.
Once Hamilton made his stop
two laps later, the Englishman
was about 14 seconds ahead of his
team-mate.
And while Alonso was able to
hold the gap, and occasionally close
it, he was not able to make a significant impression on Hamilton
until the late-race drama.
Alonso said: “To be overtaken by
two cars and find yourself sixth
going into the first corner is not
great.
“You just have to wait for the
miracle and it only happened with
Hamilton.
“If someone had told me on lap
two that I would have been on the
podium it would not have been
easy to believe.
“The final result is the best thing
of the weekend... I will not remember this Grand Prix all my life but,
anyway, it has been quite good.”
Ahead of the McLarens, the
Ferraris were fighting a private
battle.
Raikkonen closely followed
Massa for the first stint of the
race, giving the impression that
he was the faster of the two.
But the Finn stopped a lap earlier than Massa, who emerged from
the pit stops with a two-second
lead.
He held the margin and looked in
complete control until a few laps
before his second and final pit stop
when he was held up in traffic and
Raikkonen closed right up on to
his tail.
But Massa kept his cool and,
again stopping a lap later than
Raikkonen, held the lead to the
end.

Coulthard reveals
bulimia battle
RED BULL driver David
Coulthard has revealed he suffered from the eating disorder
bulimia when he was battling
to break into Formula One as
a teen.
Championship Points
Massa’s win meant he moved
one point ahead of Raikkonen in
the championship, but was still 15
points adrift of Hamilton.
The Brazilian was delighted to
win in Turkey for the second successive year, after taking his maiden win at the track in 2006.
“To win a second race in a row
here, starting from pole, is amazing,” said the Brazilian. “I love
the place.
“Turkey is where my career
made a switch and I started winning races and fighting with the
front-runners.
“Having the second consecutive
win here is fantastic. It is difficult
to find the right words.”
However, Raikkonen was left to
rue the mistake in qualifying that
had left him third on the grid.
At nearly 6ft (183cm) tall,
Coulthard is taller than most F1
drivers and felt he had to resort
to extreme measures to keep his
weight down for racing.
“I stopped eating fattening food
and, before I knew what had happened, I was bulimic,” he said.
“In my mind the only way to
keep my weight down was making
myself vomit.”
The 36-year-old, who now weighs
11st 6lb (72.5kg), said his weight
dropped as low as 9st (57kg).
“I have always taken racing seriously, even when I started out in
karting,” he added.
COULTHARD: Ex-bulimic
“By my teens, however, my focus
– in particular, on my weight – took
a slightly more sinister turn.
“I was nearly the same height as
I am now but I weighed only just
over nine stone.
“At first I was just very, very
lean. I became skin and bone, but
I weighed myself every morning,
noon and night – in the evening if
I was half a pound heavier, I’d get
in the pool and swim.”
Coulthard, who will extend his
F1 career into a 14th full season
with Red Bull in 2008, made the
revelations in his autobiography.
The Scot admitted that his behaviour could be viewed as obsessive,
but said it drove him to achieve
success.
Coulthard, who graduated from a
career in karting through Formula
Ford, Formula 3 and Formula 3000,
has won 13 Grands Prix to date.
Recently Coulthard has set up his
own blog at www.davidcoulthard.

On the welcome page he states:
“By starting my own Blog I’ll

MADRID-BORN Fernando
José Torres Sanz, born
April 20, 1984, has definitely
grown up.
The former Atlético de
Madrid player, who signed
for Liverpool in the close
season (what’s that these
days?) is hoping to lead the
Anfield side to great things
in 2007-08.
Liverpool signed Fernando
Torres to lead its bid for the
Premier League title after
the striker outgrew his stay
at Atlético de Madrid, where
he was nicknamed El Niño
–“The Kid”– when he joined
its youth team at age 11.
“I couldn’t achieve my aspirations,” said the 23-year-old
Spaniard, who never experienced European cup soccer
with Atlético. “I thought
Liverpool’s offer would give
me the most at this stage of
my career.”
Liverpool smashed its
transfer record to sign him
for 30.3 million euros.
“He has power, pace, is
good in the air, scores goals,
can dribble,” Liverpool manager Benítez said.
