However, it is still 14 degrees and with the forecast being positive for the week ahead. For today, it is actually pleasant to have a a look around and see the change of view across the coast line and over the mountains. We can see how a change in the weather can make such a difference to how we feel and to our general mood. I will enjoy a walk along the promenade followed by a lazy day on the sofa, as it is Sunday. With this years fiestas in Benidorm and Alfaz coming to an end, I have spoken to loads of people who have been enjoying the events and activities, as well as having had some very late nights. The surprising thing is where everyone gets their energy from, to be able to party day and night for almost a week. To me, this is an incredible feat. Maybe it is me getting old but then again, the average age of the party goers is 40+ ....... With just less than six weeks to Christmas Eve the shopping days are sliding away. Before we realise, we will be sitting down to Christmas dinner and taking time to see our friends and family. We aim to provide our readers with lots of Christmas bargains and gift ideas.

Join in on our celebration! We shall have some fantastic offers and free mobile phones! The first birthday of the Weekly Buzz Newspaper is a very important event for the team and for the readers. We have delivered in excess of half a million copies since the first issue. Delivering local news and information has been made possible by the help and support of our readers and by our customers, who have continued to advertise their businesses with us. Without this help and support we would not have been able to achieve what has been a big task. Starting a newspaper was not planned without considering the Market place and the needs of the local readers. It was evident to us that the public needed a weekly read, that offered local news and had a dedicated view of the local community. Reading about local events and seeing advertising for local businesses became the focus of the Weekly Buzz from the first issue. Building up the customers and readers over the last year has provided the base for a long and prosperous future. The Weekly Buzz has already grown in pages from 32 each week to 40 and is planning to add 8 more pages very soon! Also now expanding the circulation into other areas of the North Costa Blanca the newspaper is continuing to grow. Take Me I’m Yours!

As a special event for the fiestas on Sunday and Monday, there was amateur bull fighting at the Benidorm bullring. For anyone who has fancied visiting the bullring to see what the tradition is all about, but has been too frightened to do so in case they witness great cruelty, this was the perfect time to go along and have a look. There was no blood and gore at all! In fact, every young bull that our reporter saw, ended up coming out on top. It was the "would be matadors" who teased them the most, that ended up with a lesson learned, to the delight of the crowd. It was nice to actually take a look at the set up inside the bullring. There was a really good crowd of spectators that a UK football match would have been proud of. Certainly for the last hour or so of entertainment, no payment was required from those going in. 12th - 19th November In the ring itself, there were various pieces of wooden equipment, such as steps, platforms, cages and fences, where the "would be matadors" could retreat in safety, if the bull got too close. The amateurs were mainly young men. However, there were a few older members of the public and certainly at least one female. Most were pretty fit and could easily jump the perimeter fence to safety, which was about 5 feet high from the inside. The bulls were all young and very enthusiastic. They appeared like cats chasing a piece of string. They seemed to see it as a big game. It was down to the individual as to how close they went to the bull, how far they wandered into the middle of the ring away from safety and how much they teased the bull by throwing sand or banging on the apparatus. There was one young man who dared hold his coat out and let the bull charge. He was always quick enough to side step as the bull ran through the coat. The bulls obviously like charging, as any chance to head-butt the flags or coats that were held out was taken and they would go back for more. Mostly the owners of the items were in the safe zone. In just the hour that our reporter was there, she saw the bull actually catch a couple of guys and a young lady, who had teased the bull just a little too much and not got away quick enough. There appeared to be no serious injury and people did applaud the bull. On one occasion it was really quite funny as the bull managed to bring down one of the young men who appeared to be showing off. The worst damage was a tear in his trousers unless you consider his embarrassment when he got up, as his trousers fell down, revealing his bottom to the full crowd! Each of the young bulls are only out in the ring a fairly short time and they are not caused any harm or distress. When their time is up, they bring in like a big old "daisy looking" bull and the young bull follows it out of the ring. There is a 5 minute breathing space between each bull coming out. When a bull does catch a person, the others do their best to distract it away. There are bar facilities at the bullring and of course other types of bull fights are also held there. NEWS 12th - 19th November THE TELITEC PARTNERSHIP AT THE BENIDORM INDOOR MARKET The Weekly Buzz Press room in the Indoor market has its doors open to the public six days a week in order to receive local news, information about events and also as a place to get advice and information for advertising. From now in addition, you are able to get the latest offers and information on the products supplied by Telitec, the market leaders in telecommunications in the Costa Blanca. Becoming partners, Telitec and the Weekly Buzz can now offer the public a one stop shop for all telecommunication needs, offering information on the products and services. Bringing together the experience and quality of the Telitec team direct to our readers, will provide the very best products and a high level of services to take advantage of. Also, the very best prices, offers and the latest product information for fast Internet, UK TV and also mobile phones. The Telitec partnership with the Weekly Buzz Newspaper has been achieved through the general understanding of our readers and from the general public as a whole, especially those from the ex-pat community. One of the most common topics of conversation between the team at the Weekly Buzz and its readers is, "who can we recommend for telecommunication services?". It is a very common problem here in the Costa Blanca and the word "Telecommunications" can often get your hair to stand up on end. So many people, have experienced the problems of "slow" Internet or "No" Internet and this is among the very many other complaints such as poor customer services and over charging issues. We believe that we have now found the answer to solve the problems. Being able to communicate both locally here in Spain and also with our friends and relatives abroad is not much to ask, is it? We are living in a modern age and 2014 is a year of the most modern technology and the recent launch of the latest mobile tablets and phone products. So why do we get so many people experiencing the same problems? Most of it simply comes down to the poor quality of the providers of the services. Spain now has the infrastructure of 3G and 4G communications coverage, as well as fast wireless Internet services in some areas. The lack of fibre optical lines is among some of the most common problems of achieving decent Internet through a phone line (ADSL). However, wireless networks have recently grown and the coverage is getting better all of the time. The unfortunate people who have so far taken up the services of wireless Internet did in many cases experience problems and difficulties with interrupted services and poor speeds. This has been mainly due to the networks being overloaded in the very early stages and also before there was a period of enough testing. Telitec have been building their wireless internet infrastructure with precise planning and restrictions in the number of users in the initial stages. Now across the North Costa Blanca, Telitec have increased the number of transmitters and access points. This growth has provided enough coverage and speed for them to be in a position to offer, what is considered to be the best of all providers.

The poppies will then be checked, cleaned and packed before being shipped to their new owners -- each has been sold, for £25 (about $40), to benefit six armed forces charities. including Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion. The Royal British Legion has said it hopes the sale of the poppies, after the in-stallation has been dismantled, will raise in excess of £15m. But following widespread calls for the hugely popular installation to remain in place longer, even until 2018, leaving them at the Tower for the duration of the NEWS 7 WWI anniversary, organizers said two parts of the display would be kept in place until the end of November. The "weeping window" and the "wave" of poppies across the path leading into the Tower will then be taken on a tour of the UK, before becoming part of the permanent exhibitions at the Imperial War Museums in London and Manchester. The prime minister said the display had "in a very short space of time become a much loved and respected monument". Up to four million people are expected to have visited before 12 November. Entitled Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red, the installation is the work of ceramic artist Paul Cummins, from Derbyshire. MAKING NOISE OVER THE SPANISH ITV TEST The Valencian government is laying down plans to keep the noise level test that was added to the ITV certification process., if this is to stand it will be the only region in the whole of Spain to include this part of the test. At presenntthe ITV test in the Valencian region is more expensive than anywhere else in Spain, the additional noise test is an additional cost although they have cut down the extra cost to €2.48. We recommend that anybody who is due their ITV takes their car to a well known mechanic and get a pre ITV check so you are aware of any issues before taking the full test. We use Boxes Phillip, if you live in the North Costa Blanca then this is a great place to get your car looked after. You can find them in Alfaz up the cobbled road past the church.

The staff here are really friendly and welcoming and they pay every attention to detail, even down to the superb cleanliness of the vinegar pots. They are always on hand to check that everything is to your satisfaction and offer a very professional service. Attention has even been paid to the menus. They are written in English, Spanish and Italian and are easy to understand and being plastic, are a l s o q u i t e c h i l d proof! The mana g e r Paolo, cannot do enough to make sure that your meal is a wonderful experience and he is only too happy to tell you all about the food and the wine and their origins. The Menu of the Day is really good value at only €11.95 for 3 courses and allows you to try a range of traditional Italian dishes. However, we opted for A La Carte. There is a real wide range of cold and hot starters and for the mains many, many Pizzas, Pastas, Meats and Fish dishes, to choose from. The starters range from €2.50 for garlic bread to €13.50 for Frutti di mare alla marinara. We opted for the Tocaccia with ali oli sauce and tomato dressing and also the Italian salad. These starters really complemented each other and were great to share. The presentation of the salad was excellent and it included tuna, mozzarella, chicken, mango and pineapple. Another nice touch are the place mats. Whilst waiting for your meal you can study the map of Italy and Sicily and there are little flags showing where the various wines come from. To accompany our meal we had the Anoranze tempranillo. At just $10, this was an elegant and intensely fruity red. There are a good selection of wines offered and also cava and champagne are available. For the main course, I had the Tagliatelle Altea (€10.50), which was cooked to perfection with aubergine, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and parmesan (€13.50). My partner had the Spaghetti Marinara served with assorted shellfish. When we had finished, there was not a morsel left on either plate. Dessert was something else! My panacotta at €4.25 was absolutely delicious and my partner was highly delighted with the Tiramisu (€4.25). It was so light and he said the best he had ever tasted. We finished off with coffee and a limoncillo, which was again perfectly served. The restaurant is in a lovely setting on the pedestrian promenade in Altea. You can enjoy your meal and the sea views. You may sit outside or inside. The restaurant is large and was very busy so obviously has a good reputation, for which I am not surprised. We would certainly return there and highly recommend it. El Italiano, Paseo Mediterraneo, 29, Altea.

The Rock and Roll House annual celebration marked its 10 year anniversary last weekend. The house was totally Rokin and the fans who visit each year enjoyed yet another fantastic party. Europe’s Number 1 Elivs tribute Simon Patrick was performing live with Mills and Boone backing vocals. Nowhere else can give you so much top class rock and roll it is simply live music at its best. After a thrilling musical spectacle from Elvis, Dean Ryan took over the stage as Shakin Stevens who knows his stuff and had the crown jumping and jiving. Simon Patrick joined together with Dean Ryan for their famous duo and with the backing of Mills and Boone it was one great performance the four really rocked the roof off! the crowd were simply overcome by the show and wanted more.... and that’s what they got. The Rock and Roll House is also home to the Elvis Festival held in Benidorm each year in and this event is now recognised as a major tourist event attracting hundreds of visitors to Benidorm.

Moraira's roots are those of a small fishing village and one of the first things you realise when you arrive is that unlike the other resorts along the Spanish coastline, Moraira has not forgotten its roots. Although Moraira has grown in recent years, becoming one of the most popular destinations on the Costa Blanca it has not soldout to the tourist boom and isn't plagued by the high rise buildings and overcrowding of other resorts. The town centre and beaches are very clean and attractive and an obvious attention to detail has gone into the town's planning, this is apparent in every thing you see, including how easy it is to park in the town centre itself, essential if you are on holiday with children. Quite simply, Moraira is now the most exclusive and pleasant place to stay whilst on holiday on the Costa Blanca, perhaps in Spain. It still has all of the charm of a small picturesque fishing town nestled between mountains and vineyards but at the same time has grown to offer almost everything to everyone that stays here. Moraira's two main beaches are made up of clean golden sand and nestled in attractive bays, swimming here is safe and pleasant and the beach is a relatively uncrowded place to be even in the peak of summer and cleaned daily. Moraira's main beach is situated right next to the town centre with convenient pedestrian walkways and a park area meaning that it is not necessary to cross any roads to get to the town or the marina from the beach Moraira offers a huge variety of restaurants and bars to cater for every taste and budget. Whether you are looking for typical Spanish cuisine in Spanish surroundings or international cuisine like Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Italian or even just egg & chips, then Moraira offers it all in style. As the sun goes down and your meal is finished you can always head to one of Moraira's many cafe bars and sit and watch the world go by, or move on to one of several bars or one of the town's two nightclubs. For those with children quick relief can be found opposite the town centre where an excellent permanent fair- Have you got a location that you would like to hear about? Then why don’t you tell us?! Email the [email protected] ground resides. There are many small rides, mostly suitable for the young but even adults can participate in the bumper cars and hover boats. Once you are finished at the fair you can choose from one of several places that serves every flavour of ice cream or browse the stalls of the interesting street market nearby. Intertwined with Moraira's restaurants and bars are many interesting shops that stay open late into the evening. These range from the usual tourist fayre, to designer clothing, art galleries, spanish leather goods and fresh produce that can be found in the local bakers, butchers and fish mongers. The Friday market held opposite the town centre is an excellent opportunity to purchase all manner of fresh produce as well as imitation leather goods, clothing and jewellery. For the adventurous a fresh fish market at which all are welcome is held in the town's marina every morning except Sunday. Park, Aqualandia, Mondumar, Font D'Algar, Verger Safari Park or even Valencia for it shopping and culture. Ultimately, whether you choose to lounge by the pool or on the beach, eat at a one of the many restaurants or visit other nearby towns, villages or attractions we know your holiday in Moraira will offer you what you are looking for and entice you back year after year. CASTILLO DE MORAIRA This fortress, which stands on a rocky hill at l'Ampolla beach, was built in the18th Century. Over the entrance hangs the royal coat of arms of the Bourbons. The date of 1742 which is shown on the arms probably indicates the year of completion of the construction work. The Castell was built as a means of protection against attacks by Berber pirates. The unusual shape of the building is commonly known as a pezuña de buey (ox hoof), since it has a semicircular southern facade and a straight northern facade, through which one passes to the interior of the Castell. The interior is divided into three wings and two floors, with a height of ten metres. Lookout posts were established by means of small slits in the Castell's walls, and gun ports were located a various points, on which cannons were mounted. The building was completely restored at the beginning of the 1980s. Just walking around Moraira is a rewarding pursuit in itself - the central market square has many places to sit down and eat or drink, the streets are a mix of quaint cobbled narrow alleys and modern avenues lined with palm trees and fountains and there are many quiet places to sit and watch the world go by or to watch the sea and stunning vista along the coastline to Calpe. For the active Moraira offers an excellent array of sports to suit all, including jet ski hire, water skiing, deep sea fishing, diving tuition and equipment hire, tennis courts, a golf CASTILLO course, mini golf and mountain bike hire. For children there are specially designed park areas to play safely in and around the town. Moraira is geographically situated in a perfect location, around Moraira itself the landscape changes from the desert like flatness of Alicante to become greener and more undulating as you head North. It is an ideal location to easily visit other towns including Gudalest, Benidorm, Calpe, Javea, Valencia, Alicante and Denia.

Residents and businesses were told this week that the whole road will be resurfaced which will imitate a cobbled road. The cost of the project is estimated at around €240,000, and alongside the resurfacing they will extend the pavements up to the town hall so it is the same as the south side where they will also remove all plants and trees giving the whole area a nice facelift. Residents and business owners are hoping that the works are completed in good time and do not cause too much disruption. 12th - 19th November ALFAZ FASHION SHOW Last week saw Costa Blanca Fashion Week come to a close and the models went home happy and excited to have visited our beautiful Coast.

Well it is that time of year again, Christmas is coming and we are constantly reminded of it. The Christmas adverts always start on the telly, right after Halloween. It’s always interesting to see what new ideas the big companies have come up with but a huge majority of people will always say that their favourite is from Coca Cola, with the snow, big artic lorry and the lovable polar bears! DID COCA COLA MAKE SANTA RED? No. It's widely believed that today's Santa wears a red suit because that’s the colour associated with Coca‑Cola, but this isn’t the case. Before the Coca‑Cola Santa was even created, St Nick had appeared in numerous illustrations and written descriptions wearing a scarlet coat. However, it is true that Coca‑Cola advertising played a big role in shaping the jolly, rotund character we know and love today. In 1931, Coca‑Cola commissioned Swedish-American artist Haddon Sundblom to paint Santa Claus for the company's Christmas adverts. Prior to this, Santa had been portrayed in a variety of ways throughout history: tall and gaunt; short and elfin; distinguished and intellectual; even downright frightening. Sundblom’s paintings for Coca‑Cola established Santa as a warm, happy character with human features such as rosy cheeks, a white beard, twinkling eyes and laughter lines. This grandfather-style Coca‑Cola Santa captivated the public and, as our adverts spread globally, the perception of the North Pole’s most-famous resident changed forever. Father Christmas has been pictured with Red and Green Robes in England Since Henry 8ths reign. A NIGHT OF QUEEN A GREAT MUSICAL PRODUCTION DEDICATED TO QUEEN, MORE THAN 100,000 VIEWERS HAVE SEEN THIS AMAZING SHOW SINCE IT OPENED IN LA NUCIA, NOVEMBER 5, 2010.

On 1 November a coach filled to capacity with U3A members set off for the one and a half hour journey from Benidorm to the All Saints’ Fair “Fira de Tots Sants” at Concentaina. For some of the members is was a return visit but for others it was their first experience of this lively Medieval Fayre which has been celebrated in Concentaina since 1346. Held in the old part of the town its narrow streets were filled with all manner of stalls selling tapas and wine, tractors and rotorvators, beds and sofas, cutlery and crockery, jewellery and handbags in fact almost anything you could possibly wish to buy! The food stalls were a feast to behold with huge joints of meat roasting over barbecues, giant paellas simmering away and enough sausages to reach end to end to Alicante!! In the agricultural section horses and donkeys provided perfect subjects for the many visitors with their cameras at the ready. Partially hidden behind the stalls were some beautiful buildings and detours into these provided many surprises as well as respite from the unseasonably warm sunshine. One in particular, the Palau Comtal, was worth visiting for its magnificent painted ceiling depicting the nobility and power in the Kingdom of Valencia as well as exhibitions about coins, Concentaina 40 years ago and philately from 1717. In the Patronato Cor de Jesus there was an exhibition of specimen bonsais and in the Calle Sants Metges thirty separate fabric canvasses were draped on balconies. The “Fira” certainly provided something of interest to all the U3A members and it was a weary group who returned to the coach for the return journey to Benidorm. Thanks to the skilled budgeting of the Travel and Events Co-ordinator, Rob Parker, who managed to provide the members with a full day trip for €6 each, it was yet another opportunity for exploring a small part of this beautiful country which many of the members now call home. A CLOSE LOOK AT VILLA JOYOSA Located just outside of Benidorm on the north of the Costa BLanca, Villajoyosa (La Villa Joiosa) is the capital of the Marina Baixa district. A delightful and historic town, it stretches the length of a lovely wide, sandy beach, with pretty coloured fishing houses running along the seafront and is encompassed with a backdrop of mountains. Situated around 26 kilometres from the city of Alicante and Alicante International airport, Villajoyosa is a well-situated destination, ideal for exploring the rest of the Costa Blanca coastline History Villajoyosa has a rich cultural heritage. It’s history as a town dates back to the 6th century and it has been settled by the Greeks, Phoenicians, the Romans and of course the Moors, when it actually fell into some decline, which is unusual for a Moorish occupied town. The town as it is known today was founded in 1293 by an Admiral who served in the Kingdom of Aragon’s navy. It’s name Villajoyosa, literally means Joyful town. Throughout the centuries Villajoyosa has been an important trade point along this coastline; trading in olive oil, cereals and wine, and shipbuilding, amongst others. But probably what it is most famous for is chocolate. During the 19th century the town started to develop a chocolate-making industry. Because of its trade connections, it started importing cocoa from Ecuador and Venezuela and the industry grew and grew. The chocolate brand, ‘Valor’, which can be found in most shops and supermarkets throughout Spain comes from Villajoyosa. If you visit in July, you can watch the splendid week-long Moors and Christians fiesta with mock battles re-enacting the Christians reclaiming their land from the Moors. Theis festival is one of the best in the region and many tourists come back each year n July especially for this. MUSEUMS Villajoyosa Museum Some outstanding archaeological artefacts from the Valencia region are housed in the town museum, which was set up in 1975. For those interested in finding out more about the history of the region, you can join one of the museum's guided tours. As well as the museum, the tours also visit the old town, chocolate museum and Barbera Museum. Children can embark on a pirates' tour or become a Roman for a fun-filled hour. Barbera Del Aragones Museum Step back in time when you walk through the door of this 17th century palace. You can find out how people lived in the 17th to 19th centuries. The museum houses many period pieces from those centuries so you can see how they entertained one another and cooked. Valor Chocolate Museum No visit to Villajoyosa would be complete without a trip to the Valor Museum. After a short film explaining how the chocolate is made and where the cocoa beans come from, you can see how it is produced. The tour ends in the Valor chocolate shop where you can sample the produce before you buy. Old Town Villajoyosa old town is a delightful place to wander through. Its narrow streets lead to charming squares where you can enjoy a coffee or a meal while watching the world go by. The old town is a Spanish historic heritage site because it is such an interesting and well-preserved quarter. Here you can see the colourful houses hanging over the river Amadorio and cross the bridge dividing the old and new towns. Fish Market A trip to the afternoon fish market should be on your agenda. It is a chance to see the wide variety of fish and shellfish caught in the Mediterranean and brought to shore by Villajoyosa fishermen. Beaches Villajoyosa’s beaches are absolutely fantastic. Up and down the Costa Blanca coast you have other also very good beaches but Villajoyosa’s are something special. All of Villajoyosa’s beaches have the European Blue Flag awards which indicate a good quality standard of beach and facilities.

Unfortunately, there are many examples of residential buildings that have been built with poor construction details or where quality control has been lacking during construction. Structural defects in domestic buildings are not uncommon, even those built in recent years. There are also many new properties which have stood empty for several years as a result of the worldwide economic crisis. In Spain the residential property market has perhaps been the most affected and many properties remain incomplete or those that remain unsold have not been maintained in the intervening years. The majority of overseas purchasers do not bother with a survey and are not encouraged to undertake one by many agents. In our experience many agents will actively discourage the use of a surveyor or even deny that we are present in Spain. Do not be dissuaded – we can usually arrange for a Chartered Surveyor be undertake a survey within three working days of the appointment and to produce the associated report within three days of the inspection visit. It is essential when buying in Spain to have a survey undertaken. We strongly advise that this is undertaken before a deposit is placed to reserve a property (unless the deposit is fully refundable in the event that an adverse report is obtained). The report will provide a general opinion on quality and condition of the fabric of the building and will highlight evident defects. This information is essential in making an informed decision on a purchase and can often assist with price negotiations. legal documents relating to a property to be incorrect or out of date. For example, in the past a builder may have been have been tempted to under-declare the true size of the property that was constructed in order to pay less tax on the declared building cost. Conversely, in recent years developers have sometimes constructed smaller properties than specified when they were originally bought off-plan. A survey can help to identify obvious errors relating to the property descriptions which may not otherwise be detected during the normal legal checks. It is also not uncommon for extensions or swimming pools to be added to properties, perhaps without the correct legal authority, and a survey can help to highlight such discrepancies prior to purchase. It is also important to understand how a survey can assist your legal adviser during the purchase.

I so want to find fault but it would be a waste of my time; we had a splendid evening. We have tried to visit on a couple of occasions but, it is just a little out of the way and, like many others, our commitment to sampling the local wine can sometimes blurr our judgement; but we found it tonight, our last night this time. So, how was it? Well it was splendid. This is a very professional operation, run by people who are customer led and customer first, they have no pretentions; if they have it they will cook it for you and they will cook it well. We like to mix and match the menu which to all but the better skilled is not acceptable well tonight it could not have been more welcome and more acceptable. The service was really good the food was extremely well cooked and well presented; this evening was more of an event than just a dining experience. In my experience as an industry professional of many years standing we, you and me should do all we can to get this restaurant to the top of the ratings Reviewed 11 November 2014 Food is excellent, great value for money and service is perfect! Enjoyed the menu del dia and also the steak menu. Don't leave Benidorm without having a meal there. Reviewed 23 October 2014 We came here with friends last November and had one of the best steaks ever, so I took a group of friends along during my visit to Benidorm earlier this week. We were made immediately welcome and the owners sorted a table with very little fuss for 10 people. The service was excellent and the steaks were perfect. I would recommend El Rincon to anybody travelling to Benidorm, it's well worth the walk up from town! “Great food, service and value” Reviewed 12 October 2014 Had Sunday lunch here on a lovely October afternoon. We went for the VIP special menu at E21.95. A good cava as an aperitif, bread and ali oli, my personal choice was then goats cheese, plaice with gratin potatoes and chocolate mousse all accompanied by a half bottle of rose wine. Fantastic value. We sat out on the terrace but the interior had a really nice decor for cooler days or nights. The service was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. My niece is in a wheelchair and the restaurant had good and easy access at the entrance via a ramp. I found it by reading the good reviews on TA by regular contributors and so once more was not disappointed. “Fantastic food - and service !!” Reviewed 10 October 2014 “What a fabulous value for money Menu del Dia” Reviewed 2 November 2014 This basement gem is a find.Felix and staff give a warm welcome and is usually packed by 2pm, Spaniards lunch hour. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and the poached pears are stunning. A must do as is the Steak and Tapas deal at night “Wonderful evening” Reviewed 13 October 2014 We went here to celebrate my fathers 70th birthday. We pre booked 6 adults and 2 kids. The food was excellent and the staff couldn't help enough. They put candles in his dessert ( we brought them with us) and they even gave us a bottle of bubbles to toast my dad. Overall a wonderful night in a lovely restaurant with great food and staff. “Fantastic Restaurant” Reviewed 22 September 2014Reviewed 22 September 2014 This place is a little gem. We had the set menu which was about 25 euro but well worth it. The tapas starters just fab & steak was amazing. Just too much so could not eat the pudding!!!! We will be going back Sunday to try something else from the menu & have to say the staff were just lovely which made it for us “Steak stones were fantastic” Reviewed 22 August 2014 The food here is excellent and the service very good as well. We all had the steak supreme which came on a steak stone and although the stones went cold eventually, we asked for a fresh set and they willingly obliged. Nice setting in a small side street in the old town and one of the best meals we had in the Dorm. “Lovely meal in Steakhouse El Rincon” Reviewed 16 October 2014 Dined in this steakhouse last night (16th October) Chose to eat off the Set 15 euro menu.Great value with good food It ticked all the boxes.I will definatley return in February.Keep up the good work.the Steak was to die for “Not as good as previous visits” Reviewed 13 September 2014 When my partner and I first went to Benidorm in 2011, we fell in love with this restaurant. It was traditional and homely and the steaks were to die for. We also loved the smiley friendly lady owner and when we returned in 2013, the standards were the same. However this year we were both disappointed with our meal. We got the same food as both times previously-my partner had the T-bone steak and I had the sirloin steak. We asked for it to be well-done but my steak was as tough as old boots. It was impossible to chew and I know some might say it's because I asked for it to be well-done, but I've had it cooked that way before and it was moist. The vegetables on the side were raw and the potato was hard in the middle. I was disappointed as I loved this restaurant but I don't think I'll go back if they carry on serving charred chewy lumps of meat. Wine was lovely, though. To recommend - nothing more to say - we'll be back, a lot !! :-) The service from the owners, both husband and wife was amazing !! HAVE YOUR SAY!

Some situations are not as clear as they could be, so get to the nitty gritty and show others you're determined to win through. TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) You're such good company when you don't have worries weighing on your mind, and everyone wants to be part of your coterie. Don't think you can please all of the people all of the time though, you cant, so do everything in your power to please yourself. They'll follow.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd) Although you've got a lot going on this week, try not to run blindly from pillar to post, hoping that something will gel along the way. It wont.

You can be frugal where money is concerned, but you don't have to be Scrooge. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st) The lunar low is still around so you'll need to work extra hard to achieve your objectives, even if it would be more sensible to put things on hold for a day or two. If changes need to be made at home, there's no time like the present, but remember you wont always get your own way.

Keep a sense of proportion over family arguments this week as issues at the eye of the storm aren't as important as you'd thought. Health & Family ANAEMIA LINKED SPAIN TO RESEARCH HIV CURE TO STROKE 28 Anaemia is very common affecting around 30% of the world’s population. There are different forms of anaemia but by far the most common is iron deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency can be a result of a poor diet, blood loss or illnesses such as Crohn´s disease which affect to body’s ability to absorb iron from the diet. Research indicates that anaemia may actually increase the risk of ischaemic stroke. Ischaemic strokes are caused when a blood clot interrupts the flow of blood to the brain as opposed to the less common haemorrhagic stroke when there is a bleed in the brain. Each year around 15 million people will suffer a stroke causing almost 6 million deaths. According to Dr Claire Shovlin of the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London, anaemia causes platelets in the blood to become sticky causing clots. Dr Shovlin´s research suggests that even patients with moderately low iron levels have twice the risk of stroke compared to those with iron levels in the middle of the normal range. Iron deficiency anaemia may be avoided by consuming iron rich foods such as meat, poultry, fish and foods enriched with iron such as certain breakfast cereals. Dr Shovlin commented on her research: The National Transplant Organization (ONT) and the Spanish Hematology and Hemotherapy Society (SEHH) have launched a joint project to see if the HIV virus can be eliminated by carrying out stem cell transplants on patients who also suffer from cancers of the blood or bone marrow. The idea is to improve the study of the method that has so far led to the only known case of someone being cured of HIV: Timothy Ray Brown, a US citizen known to the medical world as The Berlin Patient, who has been free of the virus for four years following a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, despite being off antiretroviral medication. ONT director Rafael Matesanz said they would search Spanish umbilical cord banks for high-quality samples with a mutation in a receptor called CCR5 delta32. This protein is one of the “locks” that HIV picks open in order to infect the lymphocytes, explained Javier Martínez of IrsiCaixa, a center specializing in HIV treatment. “It’s the same thing that was done with the Berlin Patient.” In September 2013, a 37-year-old Barcelona man submitted to the same ex-perimental treatment, said Rafael Duarte, director of the Hematopoietic Transplant Program at the Catalan Cancer Institute. This patient had “an aggressive lymphoma as well as HIV.” said Duarte. In fact, cells extracted from the Barcelona patient showed that they were now protected against HIV because they failed to get infected in the presence of the pathogen. Unfortunate-ly, the patient died and the experiment came to a halt. Undergoing a transplant to regenerate bone marrow is a difficult procedure. The complication rate, including mortality, is between 15 and 25 percent two years after the surgery. That is why doctors are not considering performing them on all HIV patients, who are better off keeping the virus at bay with medication, said Martínez. Also, the procedure only works for HIV subtypes that attack the CCR5 receptor. Those that focus on different receptors do not respond to this treatment. Following the transplant, weekly tests for the presence of the virus were carried out over three months. The last test “demonstrated that the virus had been eliminated,” "Since platelets in the blood stick together more if you are short of iron, we think this may explain why being short of iron can lead to strokes, though much more research will be needed to prove this link." PUZZLE ANSWERS If you are anaemic it is important to know what is causing your anaemia and to receive appropriate treatment but it seems that for all of us, especially those at increased risk of stroke, it may be wise to keep our iron levels at a very healthy level whilst awaiting the outcome of further research. CRYPTIC CROSS WORD CODE CRACKER QUICK CROSSWORD BRAIN TEASER: 1.Short ,2. You need a Camera Not a wooden Leg - WORD WHEEL: 9 LETTER WORD - CURBSTONE Health & Family THE TERRIBLE TWO´S Many parents become exasperated by their much loved, but challenging toddlers. Babies, although hard work are much more manageable than active toddlers who have the ability to tear around at the speed of light! Toddlers are little people who are struggling to become independent. They start to realize that they are individuals and it is normal behavior to either ignore you or protest when you tell them to do (or not to do) something. They certainly do not understand when you try to reason with them. At this age their brain is developing faster that their bodies and toddlers become extremely frustrated when they physically are not able to manage a task they want to achieve. Also, because of limited vocabulary, they cannot express themselves. This may lead to temper tantrums which at this age are considered normal. The best way to avoid tantrums is firstly to ensure your toddler receives lots of attention. To a 2 year old being ‘told off’ is actually much more preferable to being ignored. Try to reward good behavior with lots of enthusiasm. BENIDORM DOG HOMING Where have all the volunteers gone? temper tantrum ‘brewing’. The best way to avoid it developing is to divert the child onto something else – maybe a different less challenging toy. Also, be aware that a tired child is likely to be more cantankerous (just like tired adults!). Although toddlers start to nap less, still try to encourage some quiet time, say curling up on the sofa with a book after lunch. If the inevitable happens and your child does throw a tantrum be firm and again direct your child’s attentions elsewhere. Most importantly, don’t throw a tantrum yourself as this will only inflame the situation. Should you feel your toddler’s behavior is not normal, steadily becoming worse, or you are struggling to cope, do seek help from your G.P. As adults we can more often or not see a Coming to the end of September and we have had a very long hot summer till this last week! Yet throughout the summer the backbone of our group has always been the volunteers. Without them we cannot do the good work that saves the lives of many Spanish dogs. Yet now they have just vanished, so where have they gone? Many people who live here don’t even know that Benidorm has a dog pound to try to help save the lives of the stray and abandoned dogs that would litter the streets. We need to let you know that you can help. Volunteers come and walk the dogs and they come from many places, residents, tourists and people just wanting to do something different and that person could be you and help us fill the huge gap that we have in helpers. Many of whom have been students here over the summer filling in the jobs in your bars and restaurants and getting the chance to learn English. Now it can be your turn to give a little back to this community. So what is Benidorm Dog Homing? Benidorm dog pound is just outside this popular holiday resort. A very short taxi ride from the main hotels and we are always in need of volunteers to walk the dogs in our care. SPAP Benidorm runs the pound to look after animals and they have a policy to protect and not destroy animals. However the shelter provides extremely basic facilities, food is donated from hotels, medical care is limited and it is difficult to fully look after up to 300 or more animals.

I don't think I have seen so many Handballs and fouls in the Penalty Area go unpunished for a such long time. I think the Referees have had a Meeting and agreed to only award 1 penalty a Weekend. Kevin's Team Bars a Loner went 6 points clear of Steve's Cowden Red Devils at the top of the Alfaz Fantasy League.Neil's Blue Moon Rising had a good week bagging 41 points which places him nicely in 3rd spot 1 point behind the Red Devils and only 7 points behind the Leaders.It really is tight at the top as there is only 28 points between the top 11 which makes for an exciting Season ahead.I wish I could say the same about life at the bottom of the Table where Les's Team Have Not Got a Clue only scored 2 points which leaves them 38 points adrift of Winnie's Team Le Hombre Rioja. Mind you there could be some light at the end of the tunnel for Les as one of his Strikers West Ham's Andy Carroll made a return from a long injury on Saturday. Sharon's Team Shaztastic regained the top spot of our Mark Carter Ladies Section by overtaking Super Suze by 8 points. Pam's People moved a little closer to the Summit and are in 3rd place.Debbie's Foxy Filberts & Kim's Ginger United are also in contention in 4th & 5th position.Down at the foot of the League Winnie's Le Hombre Rioja have been going backwards for Weeks,this Week they only managed 5 points which puts them 33 points from the nearest Team Kate's Mixed Bunch. There was plenty of action in our U.K.T.V.SPAIN Junior League where Lily's Sponge Bob XI stretched their lead at the Summit to 9 points over Super Rhys. Ginger Ninja is in 3rd place but the Team to watch out for in this Section is Anthony's Team Dart Vader who are arrowing in on the Leaders after getting this Weeks top score of 49 points which helped them move up 5 places to 4th. At the other end of the Table Adam's Team What's the Point are getting left behind as they are now 29 points away from Calum's Rees Red Devils. One of our Junior Teams is top of our Golden Boot League which is sponsored by Leonard Knowles Construction. Super Rhys have maintained the the No 1 spot for the 2nd Week running by holding off the challenge from Keith's Max & Paddy who are only 4 points behind. Eric's Team The Chosen Ones are in 3rd place then comes another one of our Junior Teams Sponge Bob XI. No reprieve for Les's Team at the bottom Have Not Got a Clue as they have gone 7 Weeks without scoring. 3 Teams go into the Pot for our Premier Imports Draw for a case of fine Wine at the end of the Month and they are Anthony's Team Dart Vader who top scored with 49 points and our 2 lowest scoring Teams Les's Have Not Got a Clue and Joanna's Los Torres Harriers who only managed 2 points. The Manager of the Month for November is being kindly sponsored by Darren & Lorna at the Brisa Del Mar in Albir who provide excellent good wholesome home cooked food at good prices.With only 2 Weeks gone Dave's Team Up The Clarets are still in pole position with a narrow 1 point advantage over Lenny's Spreaders. Both Managers are Burnley Fans so they both must have celebrated the Clarets 1st win in the Premier League at the Weekend.Knowing both of them I'm sure they did.In 3rd place Dean's Globe Trotters are only 1 point behind the Spreaders. Our fastest moving Team this Week is Bobby's Team Newcastle Old Boys who moved up 43 places to No 155 which has earned this avid Newcastle Fan a super Breakfast for 2 at Rafters sponsored by Kate.

Rokoduguni was injured in the second half of the 24-21 defeat to New Zealand at Twickenham last weekend. He has failed to prove his fitness in time to face the Springboks and, as a result, Harlequins wing Yarde, who has made five appearances for England, has been drafted into a 24-man squad named by head coach Stuart Lancaster. "Roko has done some limited training but is unlikely to fully recover from his thigh injury in time, so Marland is in the group coming back into camp on Wednesday," said Lancaster. Fiji-born Rokoduguni, who plays for Bath, became the first serving soldier since Tim Rodber in 1999 to be capped by England when he made his debut against the All Blacks. who has made five appearances for England, has been drafted into a 24-man squad named by head coach Stuart Lancaster.

Discussions have been ongoing between the duo for some time as they mull over who should partner the returning Fernando Alonso, who is due to be confirmed by McLaren by the end of next week. After negotiating his severance payment with Ferrari - Alonso had two years remaining on his agreement with the team the Spaniard is to join McLaren on a two-year deal, with the option of a third. As to his team-mate, paddock sources have suggested Boullier and Dennis have a difference of opinion, with the Frenchman favouring Jenson Button, whilst the latter prefers Kevin Magnussen. With Dennis promising in early September to deliver an answer by the end of the campaign in Abu Dhabi, the clock is ticking, although he ultimately has the final call. If Dennis needed any convincing Button's experience was the way to go then his performance over the weekend in Brazil will have helped. In qualifying fifth and finishing fourth at Interlagos, the 34-year-old has now KENNY WINS SECOND MEDAL scored nearly double the number of Magnussen's points this season - 106 to 55. Boullier refused to be drawn on whether anything could be read into the result, other than to state it was "a great weekend for the team". Jason Kenny claimed his second medal of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico, by winning silver in the men’s individual sprint on the last day. Kenny, who had already taken gold in the men’s team sprint 24 hours earlier, was beaten 2-0 in the gold-medal final by Australia’s Matthew Glaetzer following two closely contested heats. Kenny had earlier beaten New Zealand’s Sam Webster 2-0 in the semi-final to book his place in the decider. Britain finished the event second in the medal standings, with two golds and two silvers. Australia topped the table with three golds and two silvers. BAD WEEK KIWIS LOSE LEULUAI FOR FINAL "Prior to Sochi [the Russian Grand Prix] we were a little bit down," he said.

Carrick, who last appeared for England in their World Cup qualifier against Poland at Wembley last year, had been in line for a first appearance since being overlooked by Roy Hodgson for the summer finals in Brazil. The 33-year-old, who picked up the injury at St George's Park, will have a scan to discover the severity of the injury. The injury is a huge blow for both England and the midfielder himself, with Hodgson believed to have turned to Carrick to fill a void now left by the retired duo of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. CESC FABREGAS IS OUT OF SPAIN’S UPCOMING MATCHES Violinist Vanessa Mae has been given a four-year ban by the International Ski Federation for taking part in races allegedly 'manipulated' to help her qualify for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. The governing body said its hearing panel found 'to its comfortable satisfaction' that the results of a series of races in Slovenia in January were set up in order for Mae to achieve the qualifying points required to compete at the Games. Representing Thailand and competing under the name Vanessa Vanakorn, the classical violinist took part in the women's giant-slalom in Sochi and finished last out of the 67 competitors. An FIS statement read: "After considering written submissions and testimony at a hearing on 3rd October 2014, the Hearing Panel found to its comfortable satisfaction that the results of the four ladies giant slalom races that took place on 18th and 19th January 2014 at Krvavec (SLO) were manipulated, resulting in the calculation of FIS Points that do not reflect the true performance of the competitors that participated in those events and in particular the points awarded to Vanessa Vanakorn (Mae)." MURRAY HANGS ON Murray was blown away in his opening match by Kei Nishikori, but made no mistake against the Canadian by securing a straight-sets victory. The Scot secured two breaks of serve in the opening set to move one set up in a little over 30 minutes. Although Murray broke Raonic in the third game of the second set his 23-year-old opponent hit back immediately to square things up. It was not until the 11th game that Murray secured another break which allowed him to serve for the match. Although one match point came and went, he secured the contest at the second time of asking when a Raonic shot drifted long. Roger Federer's win against Kei Nishikori earlier on Tuesday meant Murray knew he had to match that to avoid early elimination. Murray could beat Federer and still go out depending on the score between Raonic and Nishikori, but equally a loss for Murray would not necessarily eliminate him. Murray takes on Federer on Thursday at the O2 scheduled for 8pm GMT Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has been ruled out of Spain’s European Qualifier against Belarus on Saturday. The 27-year-old, who arrived for national duty with a hamstring complaint, had a MRI scan in Madrid on Tuesday morning. Fabregas will also miss the match against world champions Germany next week but hopes to be available for Chelsea’s next match on November 22. The Barclays Premier League leaders will entertain West Brom at Stamford Bridge before travelling to Germany to play Schalke in the Champions League three days late A statement from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said: "The Chelsea midfielder has been ruled out for the games against Belarus and Germany following tests and an evaluation of his condition that was carried out this morning by the medical staff of the Spanish national team. "The MRI done this morning in the Sanitas Clinic in La Moraleja showed a clear improvement with respect to the one done by his club on Sunday. "Although the MRI discards a hamstring tear, the player continues to have discomfort and the medical team considers that his involvement in the next games would not be advisable for his complete recovery."

The Scot has signed a deal until the summer of 2016 and returns to football six-and-a-half months after losing his job as Manchester United boss. Moyes had been considering Sociedad's offer for some time and, according to Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, was pressed for a decision with second-choice Pepe Mel waiting in the wings. Balague told Sky Sports News HQ: "I'm so excited about this. He's one of the top British managers and he's actually going to go to La Liga, to a team he can improve. "The interesting thing is Real Sociedad have not accepted no for an answer. They insisted they wanted him to be the man and received very good reports. It's not a decision that's been taken lightly at all." Moyes joins a club third from bottom in La Liga following a poor start to the season that cost Jagoba Arrasate his job. But Sociedad were in the Champions League as recently as last season, when they were drawn in the same group as Moyes' United, who won at Old Trafford and drew in Spain. The San Sebastian-based club have a history of appointing British managers, and Moyes is following in the footsteps of Welshmen John Toshack and Chris Coleman. Balague said: "It's a club with some Britishness about it - the first foreigner to play for them was John Aldridge and Chris Coleman was also there. The area is also 'British' in the eyes of the rest of Spain - it rains a lot USA head coach and former Spurs striker Jurgen Klinsmann has called for Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino to be given time to build his own team at White Hart Lane. Spurs were booed off the pitch on Sunday after they slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Stoke their fourth loss in six Premier League games at home this season.The latest loss saw Pochettino's men drop to 12th in the league but Klinsmann, who scored 38 goals in 65 appearances during two successful stints at the club, believes the Argentinian will be a success. Klinsmann told Sky Sports News HQ: "He needs to have the coaches on the same page, from the youngest to the oldest. "He needs to have everybody following the same philosophy and saying 'ok this is what we stand for'. INSIDE EURO 2016 TABLES AND FIXTURES FOR 14TH-16TH NOVEMBER
