hospital one step
closer to opening
A deal is on the table
which could see the
specialist hospital open
early in the new year
For eight years the opening of the
Centro Hospitalario de Alta Resolucin de Especialidades (Chare) for
the Guadalhorce valley has been
held up by lack of funding for the
access road and the hospitals connection to mains electricity. However last week it was announced that
the provincial government will foot
the bill, which could rise to 800,000
euros, so that the hospital can finally
open in early 2016. Once open, the
facility will provide hospital services for about 105,000 people in 14
towns and villages in the Guadalhorce valley. It will also provide 300
jobs. P6

After almost four years of inactivity

in the construction sector, 2015 has
seen record numbers for new building projects in the province. Between
July and September of this year, approval was granted for 922 new
homes, a figure which has not been
seen in a single quarter since early
2010. This brings the total for the year

up to 1,792 which is three times as
many as were approved for the same
period last year. In only the last three
months there have been six new residential projects authorised in Marbella alone, which will see the construction of 200 apartments. P14

The high cost of antisocial behaviour

Throwing wet wipes
down the toilet, used
oil down the sink,
chewing gum and
cigarette ends on the
ground and not
cleaning up dog mess:
normal behaviour but
with serious results
:: MNICA PREZ
You dont need to smash the legs off
a park bench or scrawl graffiti on a
building to be classed as an antisocial citizen. Crossing that red line
may be easier than you think. Some
everyday forms of behaviour can
cause almost as many problems as
vandalism in our towns and cities.
Throwing wet wipes, dirty
nappies or sanitary towels down the
lavatory, pouring used oil from the
frier down the sink or not clearing
up after your dog, for example, not
to mention the cigarette ends and
chewing gum that carpet the pavements in so many places... This simple behaviour is common to many
of us, but those responsible for cleaning and waste management are
warning that it is an increasingly
serious problem.
The figures are quite startling: in
Malaga city, for example, in just one
year more than 300 tonnes of rubbish
have to be removed from pumping
stations and treatment plants, more
than 166,000 pieces of chewing gum
from pavements and 255 working
days are spent removing posters and
paint from the walls of municipal
buildings.
Things are not much better in Marbella: between January and August
this year, 245 cubic metres of rubbish
have had to be removed from the waste pipes, 40,000 euros have been spent
on cleaning up chewing gum and the
council has spent 32,000 on repairs
to equipment and urban furniture.
The belief that its just this once, nothing will happen, or somebody
will clean it up, is no help whatsoever in finding a solution to a problem
which really comes down to individual responsibility.
Each and every one of us has to
cooperate over this, otherwise nothing will work, no matter what we
do, says the maintenance manager
of the Emasa water company, Con-
cepcin Fernndez Cotrina, who in

the past decade has seen the problems
that a massive amount of wipes etc.
can cause to sewage systems. It is difficult to calculate the real cost locally, but the sewage companies in Spain are part of the
27-country EurEau network
and it calculates that an
extra 500 to 1,000 million
euros have to be spent
every year because of
items which block the
pipes. To get an idea of
the scale of the problem,
43 million packs of wipes
were sold in Spain last year.
ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR, IN FIGURES
Wet wipes, nappies and sanitary towels
500
cubic metres of waste
This is the quantity collected in half a year from the sewage

network run by Hidralia in Marbella. In the city of Malaga,
Emasa removes 300 tonnes annually. Rainy days are particularly challenging as blockages in pumping stations (right)
have to be unclogged. The majority of blockages are caused
by wet wipes, sanitary towels and nappies.

310
fines so far in 2015
Confusion over labels
Chewing gum on pavements

The Local Police in Malaga have, in
the first nine months of the year, issued more than 300 fines of up to
500 euros. This is not a small problem either as there are 80,000 dogs
registered in the city.
40,000
euros have been spent in Marbella
This figure has been

council to clean
chewing gum. In Malaga, 166,400 pieces are
removed per year.

euros in repairs and painting
This is the quantity invested by

Marbella council
in operational
services for repairs and painting.
It is ironic, in a way, that products which are designed for hygiene and cleanliness - baby wipes, wet
wipes, make-up removal pads, wipes
for cleaning bathrooms and kitchens,
etc - end up proving so toxic for the
sewage system. Consumers lack information in this respect as well. They
often throw this type of product down
the lavatory because the label says it
is biodegradable and they think that
means it is safe to do so.
The problem is that they are not
suitable for the treatment cycle,
says Concepcin Fernndez, who
also points out that communities of
owners are often the worst affected
by frequent blockages, and this costs
them money. It normally takes 48
hours from the moment you flush
the loo until the waste arrives at the
treatment plant. Toilet paper normally degrades. Wipes dont, she
explains.
That is why these products should
be treated as items of solid urban waste: they are made of compacted textile fibres which are difficult to break.
They are incompatible with the water cycle and can take several months
to degrade. The same applies to sanitary towels, nappies, cotton wool and
cotton buds, which despite
everything continue to circulate
through the pipes.
In Malaga, just like other towns,
the problem is worse when it rains
and Emasa has to send a special team
out to the pumping stations to remove the waste. The city has about a dozen stations of this type, which also
serve Torremolinos and Alhaurn de
la Torre, as well as the Guadalhorce
and Pen del Cuervo sewage plants.
Although in principle these are suffi-
NEWS

cient for the local population even at

the busiest times of year, on rainy
days there can be a major problem because of the huge amounts of this
type of waste which are washed down
to the pumping stations.
The situation is similar in other
towns where the population increases considerably in the tourist season, such as Marbella, where 479 cubic metres of waste (mostly wipes)
had to be removed from its sewage
system last year. Fuengirola, which
receives on average three warnings
a week about obstructions in the pipes and whose councillor for Public
Works and Infrastructure, Jos Snchez, has no doubt about what is to
blame: Wipes are public enemy number one for the sewage system, he
insists.
Ending up on the beach

A great deal of this waste ends up on
the beach or in the sea, which is highly
damaging not only from an environmental point of view but also for the
image of the area.
The beach is one of the places where the consequences of this antisocial
behaviour are very apparent, not only
because of the used wipes which litter the coastline at times, but also for
the effects that the indiscriminate
disposal of cooking oil and fat has on
the water. This is no minor matter,
especially if you take into account
that just one litre of used oil can contaminate 1,000 litres of water and that
the cost of treating water which has
been contaminated in this way is four
euros per household per year.
This problem is particularly serious
in Malaga, because even though there are numerous recycling containers
for used oil throughout the city, nearly nine out of every ten litres is still
thrown down the sink. The difficulty in treating it means that between
10 and 15 per cent of fats end up in
the sea and cause that horrible scum
which discourages people from
swimming.
Away from the water, things dont
seem that much better. Cigarette ends
are a major problem and although
this is something which affects all
towns - a study by the Spanish Association Against Cancer claims that
every year 4.5 billion cigarette ends
are thrown onto the ground - it is especially unpleasant on the beach because it takes up to ten years for a cigarette end to disintegrate in water,
and even longer if it stays on the sand.
To try to raise awareness about
this and other problems, such as sunflower seed shells, Malaga council
carries out campaigns every year.
This year, for example, the Environmental Sustainability and Beaches
departments handed out 5,000
pocket ashtrays on the beaches, to
stop people throwing their cigarette ends onto the ground. As part of
the Malaga, cmo te quiero? environmental campaign, 150,000 containers with two compartments were
given away (one for the packet of
sunflower seeds and the other for
the shells). Nevertheless, it is significant that in July the Limasa cleaning company picked up twice as
much rubbish from the beaches as
the same month last year: 325,520

not, so there is still a long way to go
in the battle against this type of antisocial behaviour.
Chewing gum, especially when
it is stuck to the ground, is another
major headache for street cleaners.
Limasa has 16 specialist teams who
try to remove it, using a metal spatula and high-pressure hot water.
They work in shifts, from Mondays
to Fridays. Last year, 166,400 pieces of chewing gum were removed
from the streets, at a cost of 31,616
euros. Bearing in mind that chewing
gum can be bought from a kiosk for
about five cents and it costs four times that to scrape it off the pavement, many people might consider
it better to dispose of their gum in
the nearest waste bin.
It seems reasonable to apply the
same conclusion to the problem of
dog mess in the street, but there is

also a long way to go in this respect.

In Malaga, people take hardly any notice of the 30 warning signs in every
district of the city, warning dog
owners that they face a fine of up to
500 euros if they fail to clean up after their pets. The Local Police have
fined 310 people so far this year, and
Malaga council and the College of Veterinary Surgeons have distributed
150,000 poop bags to dog owners at
veterinary clinics. There have also
been various information campaigns,
not only about the dog problem but
about all these problems.
Now, though, the council has had
enough. It has decided to create a Dog
DNA register, so that if an owner forgets to take a bag with them when
they walk the dog, the culprit - and
its owne r - can be identified from the
faeces.
The Environmental Department
is planning to ask at the next council meeting for the relevant municipal bylaw to be changed so that dog
owners are obliged to register their
pets DNA as well as have it microchipped. If an owner is found guilty
of not clearing up their dogs mess,
they will not only be fined but will
also have to pay the cost of testing
the sample for DNA. It could be an
expensive business.

Whether antisocial

the cost is very high
:: A. P. B. / F. J.
MALAGA There are notable differences between acts of vandalism
and simple antisocial behaviour,
but when the objects which
suffer the damage are rubbish
containers, the cost is the same,
no matter what caused them to

Obviously, the most striking

can cause irreparable damage to

a rubbish container, not to mention the effects of a vehicle bumping into them.
The price of a rubbish container varies according to its size
and use, but a 3,200 litre bin for
organic waste, paper or plastic
costs 800 euros.
The cost is lower for bottle
banks (375 euros), paper recycling bins (360 euros) and antivandal waste paper bins such as
those on the seafront promenades (45 euros).
The Limasa cleaning company
has to set aside part of its budget
each year to replace rubbish containers which have been damaged
by vandalism or antisocial behaviour. So far this year, the company
has already spent 85,405 euros on
replacing these bins, many of
which had been set on fire.
The estimated cost of replacing the waste paper bins in the
first nine months of this year is
36,461 euros. In this case, they
have had to be replaced because
they had been set alight, painted,
smashed, their covers had been
broken or parts of them had been
removed.

Senate approves
right of Marbella
council to benefit
from Malaya fines
:: HCTOR BARBOTTA
MARBELLA. A meeting of the
Senate held on Wednesday has
approved an amendment to the
State budget which means that
the fines charged in connection
with Marbellas corruption cases
will now go back to the towns
council coffers.
More specifically, these funds
will be directed to alleviate the
debt that the town has with the
tax authorities, estimated at
around 250 million euros.
The amendment, put forward
by Malagas PP politicians, has
its origins in the sentencing of
those involved in caso Malaya
when fines of 449 million euros
were imposed. These fines were
directed to go to the State,
meaning that Marbella council
(from where municipal funds
were embezzled) would not
benefit at all.
Though president of the PP in
Marbella and ex-mayor, ngeles
Muoz, expressed her satisfaction with the long-fought-for decision, the current council team
is not happy because the new
mayor, Jos Bernal, had already
negotiated a more beneficial
deal with the government.

A week after the flood which
swept away a British man and
threatened the lives of a dozen

badly burnt as he slept in one of
the makeshift shacks erected beside the Guadalmedina river. According to the person who raised

sleeping when she woke up to
see her boyfriend in flames.
The emergency services were
called to the scene, where medics spent almost an hour stabilising the man whose face, chest,
abdomen, arms and legs were
burnt before taking him to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
The investigation into the
cause of the incident is ongoing
though it is thought the embers
from a fire or a candle are most
likely to be to blame. No possibility has been ruled out by the
police however.

Guadalhorce hospital nearer to opening as

The building itself is finished and
equipped, so it was only these final
hurdles preventing the Health Department from contracting staff and
the building being finally opened.
However, it was announced last
Thursday that the provincial government would pay for both the road
and the connection to the mains circuit, a sum that will rise to around
800,000 euros. This will involve the

rewriting of the original agreement
signed by the Junta de Andaluca,
Crtama town council and the provincial government in 2009.
Once this is agreed to by all parties, in a meeting scheduled for this
week, the only remaining stumbling
block is for Crtama town hall to grant
the final licences and permits to allow for the building to be occupied.
The works have already been approved and shouldnt encounter any
complications. Once given the goahead (they cannot proceed until the
new convenio has been signed), they
could be completed within a month.
Once opened, the Chare will provide hospital services for about
105,000 people in 14 towns and villages in the Guadalhorce Valley: Al-
haurn el Grande, Alhaurn de la

Torre, lora, Alozaina, Ardales, Carratraca, Crtama, Casarabonela, Con,
Guaro, Monda, Pizarra, Tolox and
Yunquera. Until now, patients needing specialist treatment have had
to go to Malagas Clnico hospital.
Around 300 workers will be employed, among healthcare professionals and other staff.
MALAGA. The Partido Popular

(PP) are calling for the Chare to
open the day immediately after
the completion of the access road.
Esperanza Oa, second vice president of the Andalusian parliament,
will put forward a proposal in parliament this week, demanding
that the hospital be opened without any delay, some eight years
after it was first scheduled to open.
This hospital seems like the
ghost of the Guadalhorce; it has
been ready since 2012. I feel deceived. I dont buy the excuse that
the Crtama town hall didnt have
the money. That is a lie, said the
PP politician. They are deceiving
us and lying to us in a deliberate
way to buy themselves time.
For his part, the mayor of Crtama, Jorge Gallardo (PSOE) insists: I achieved in three days
with the provincial government
what I had been fighting for over
the course of three years with
the Junta.
When pushed for an opening
date, he said: The Junta still havent given an opening date, but
were talking about opening in

:: LEANDRO PAVN
ESTEPONA. In the last couple
of years, the word Bulevar has
become synonymous with the
idea of delays for locals in Estepona. Back in June of 2012, residents were informed of plans to
redevelop a large area of land located along Avenida de Juan Carlos I. However, three years later,
work is yet to begin on the site.
Designs of the development
close to the seafront include a
five-star hotel, a shopping centre with a six-screen cinema and
a new town hall. Yet, despite
the grand scale of the project,
the last time plans were discussed by International Architects, the construction company
behind the project, and the public was back in February 2014.
Consequently, local residents
are wondering whether they
will ever see the plans come to
fruition.
Part of the problem causing
the delay to construction is the
location of the site. Given that
the land is near to the sea, the designs for the Bulevar must be
approved by regional government, a process which has numerous stages of approval.

:: MNICA PREZ
MARBELLA. Funny Beach, a sports
activity centre in Marbella, has reopened its go-karting track after
being closed for two months over
the summer. The track first opened
for business in 1992 and operated
without an official certificate for
23 years. Horacio Hellman, the
owner of the company, was repeatedly denied a permanent licence
due to issues over the usage of the

land. The council claimed that the
land he was using was incompatible with the activity that he wanted
to run on it. However, after a judge
ruled that the land was being used
for recreational, not sporting activity, Horacio was finally granted a
permit for the track.
On operating without a licence,
Horacio explained: I was the last person who wanted the situation to continue. I tried many times to obtain
one but my request was always rejected without just reason. The gates
of the track were reopened to the public on Saturday after renovation work
was carried out on the go-karts.

my wife is scared
The Costa del Sol is becoming lethal. Thats how bluntly an officer who regularly patrols the
province described the situation.
Recent events, which left two
people dead in less than a week,
have prompted many officers to
go directly to shops that sell police uniforms to buy their own
protective vests, the officer confirmed to SUR.
My wife is terrified every time I
go to work because she knows
what the Costa del Sol is turning
into, he said and also criticised
the authorities for not responding to the problem and providing
every officer with his or her own
vest. In particular he criticised
their slow reaction in the wake of
the recent deaths of two National
Police officers. One of these cases
occurred in Malaga last year,
when an officer died after being
stabbed by a homeless man he
had asked for identification.
sales of protective vests have tripled

in the last year.
Antonio Cuenca, owner of the shop
Sector 112 which specialises in police
clothing has noticed a rise in sales.
Antonio, who also has 15 years experience in the Local Police force said,
Its awful having to sell them to colleagues, and insists that the forces
themselves should be responsible for
providing appropriate clothing to
their officers.
Each bullet- and knifeproof vest
costs around 600 euros. Even worried family members have come to
us to buy them as presents for relatives who work for the police, Antonio added.
Necessity
This concern has increased significantly with the recent violent attacks. The general secretary of the
union Sindicato Unificado de Polica
(SUP) in Malaga, Manuel Expsito,
explained how dangerous the mafias
that operate in the area are: They
have no qualms about shooting an
officer when they come face to face
with one, he said. They come from
other countries and life is worth
nothing to them and thats why they
dont think twice about using their
weapons.
As well as the threat from organised criminals, police officers come
up against situations on a daily basis
in which the vests are indispensable.
Jos Francisco Mrida is in charge of
the union Sindicato Independiente
de Polica de Andaluca (SIP-AN) in
Mijas and pointed out the risks involved every time the police respond
to a call: You never know what you
are going to find when you arrive at
the scene, he said.
Organisations and unions insist
that each officer must have his or her
own vest and that police authorities
invest immediately. One union has
even suggested giving officers a vest
instead of a hamper this Christmas.

Poor accessibility lands disabled

woman a fine of 500 euros
Rural Development
Group gets support
from councils
CON
Ana Mara Prez received

the fine for going the
wrong way down a oneway street but argues she
was left with little option
as the towns pavements
are not wheelchair friendly
:: MNICA PREZ
MARBELLA. Never before has a
trip about town been so expensive.
500 euros (250 if it is paid before
the 13th) is the cost of one excursion for Ana Mara Prez, resident
of Fuengirola, who was fined for a
road traffic offence in Benahavs
this August.
The woman, who has a disability
registered at 86 per cent, has been
obliged to use a wheelchair for a
number of years and regularly gets
about using a mobility scooter.
Orginally from Benahavs, she returned there in August to enjoy the
towns fair with her son. It was during this stay that she travelled in
the wrong direction down a oneway street, owing to the lack of accessibility on the towns pavements
- a point she thought she had made
clear to a Local Police officer who
witnessed the incident, and who
she assumed was joking with her.
HERE & THERE
Ana Mara Prez on the street where the incident took place. :: J-L
The incident had seemingly
blown over until Prezs son went
to the towns tax office to pay his
property tax and he was informed
of the fine that had been issued to
his mother.
It surprised me a lot that it was
as much as 500 euros and I asked
my mother if she had received a fine
this summer, said Jos Manuel Linares. It was only after this that Ana
Mara recalled her encounter with
the policeman.
The family are appalled by the
lack of sensibility shown by the po-
lice as well as the fact that they

were not informed of the fine.
The only alternative my mother
has to get home is to take a massive
diversion around the town which
is not easy when you take into account the mobility issues she has,
her son added.
The family have now put this in
the hands of lawyers, arguing that
the accused was not informed of the
denuncia, nor was she even identified on the scene: Were all asking
ourselves how can they have fined
her without even identifying her.
:: R. LEACH. Councillors in Con

have agreed to make a payment of
21,500 euros to support the future
of the Grupo de Desarrollo Rural
(DGR or Rural Development
Group) in the Guadalhorce Valley,
after a lack of funding threatens
to see the end of the organisations
20-year programme of investments
and initiatives in the area.
Officially the GDR ceased its activities at the end of September due
to a lack of funding, but the Mayor
of Con, Fernando Fernndez, called
for the seven town councils covered by the group, as well as the
Junta de Andaluca and the Malaga
regional government, to commit
to ensuring the continuation of the
organisation, highlighting the many
agricultural, horticultural and rural employment projects that have

generated jobs, tourism and improved the economy of the Guadalhorce Valley area.
Committing the initial sum of
21,500 euros, which the mayor
described as being approximately
one euro for each inhabitant of
the municipality, Fernndez
called on the other authorities to
invest in the GDR and specifically called on the Junta de Andaluca to continue supporting
the groups projects, which receive up to 80 per cent of their
funds from European sources.
Fernndez said the next programme of European rural project
funding for 2016 to 2020 is due to
commence soon and the GDR could
use these funds to coordinate development opportunities for rural
communities in lora, Pizarra, Almoga, Alhaurn el Grande, Con,
Valle de Abdalajs and Crtama.
Junta to put new

RINCN DE LA VICTORIA
Protest in Rincn. :: E.C
:: E.C. The Junta de Andaluca is to

In a meeting held in Seville between the Juntas Minister of Education, Adelaida de la Calle; the
mayor of Rincn, Encarnacin
Anaya; the deputy mayor, Antonio Moreno; and the councillor in
charge of education, Yolanda
Florido, the minister promised that
the Junta is to begin the process
for the draft project before the end
of this month.
Also present at the meeting
were representatives of the Plataforma por la Educacin de
Rincn who have now dropped
their proposed sit-in of the town
hall. The movements spokesman,
Francisco Javier Lorenzo-Arroyo,
insisted however that if there is
no official announcement in the
BOJA (Boletn Oficial de la Junta

30th, it will reactivate its protest.
Even if the construction of the

Council squabbles over

cost of reopening tram
VLEZ-MLAGA
:: A. P. The survey initiated by the

current town hall team in Vlez
on the costs of reopening the tram
service between the town and
Torre del Mar has estimated the
figure at between 1.5 and two million euros which is much more
than was first stated.
However the opposition PP
party have rejected this figure, stating that it carried out a survey in
2014 which put the necessary sum
at 500,000 euros. According to exmayor Francisco Delgado, the new
costs have been over inflated in
order to justify not going ahead
with the reopening of the tram.

MALAGA. Primor, Malagas perfumery and beauty chain, has joined
forces with two similar companies
- Arenal which is Galician and Marvimudo from the east coast of the

The newly created Maremor (a

euros of annual turnover, two million employees and 12 per cent of
the perfumery market. The three
businesses involved expect to exceed a turnover of 600 million euros
within five years with 350 shops all
over Spain and a 27 per cent share
of the market.
The new company will not mean

his week, Brussels

criticism of Spains
2016 budget was made
official, following
warning remarks made last
week by EU commission chief
Pierre Moscovici. With a general
election just over two months
away, the Partido Popular (PP)
wants to avoid making public
spending cuts while also bringing its budget in line with EUimposed targets. This is no easy
task given that its dealing with
a GDP deficit discrepancy of
0.7%. But one solution, if the
government can capitalise on it
in time, might just be shopping.
Earlier this month, Madrid
hosted The Shopping Tourism
and Economy Summit, the first
European summit to focus exclusively on the global shopping
tourism market. One of the objectives was to spearhead a new
economic sector that is currently in the gestation process.
In other words, to boost tourism
revenue by promoting the allseason, all-weather pursuit of
shopping to tourists.
Spain is a world superpower
in tourism, and in the first two
months of this year it attracted
6.5 million international visitors - smashing its own record
for the same period. This enormous market provides many
much-needed jobs, but a huge
percentage of them tend to be
for the summer only. Speaking
at the summit, Spains deputy
prime minister Soraya Senz de
Santamara said that the Spanish
government needed to work
with the retail sector to tap into
the shopping tourism market.
Doing so, she said, would even
out the seasonal nature of this
vitally important market.
Spain could certainly benefit
from attracting more tourists
from outside the EU. Speakers at
the summit drew attention to
the fact that, of the money
spent shopping in Europe by
visitors from outside the EU,
France gets 23% and Britain gets
18%, while Spain pulls in a paltry 3%. The huge Chinese market - Chinese tourists apparently spend the most on shopping - has barely been tapped at
all. Corte Ingls chairman Dimas Gimeno said that air links
between Spain and major Asian
cities are practically non-existent. The summit has hopefully
shown Spain a new way to capitalise on its status as one of the
worlds tourism heavyweights.

:: CRISTIAN REINO
BARCELONA. Catalan president
Artur Mas was greeted by a sea of
supporters as he arrived to testify
in court in the independence referendum case. More than 400 mayors of towns and villages in Catalonia waved their staffs in support of
the nationalist leader, who faces
charges of disobedience, abuse of
authority and usurping authority
for going ahead with the referendum on 9 November last year, even
after it had been ruled illegal.
Catalan president Artur Mas has

said that he was solely responsible for organising the ballot. However he later stated that after the
vote was suspended by the Constitutional Court, it was the volunteers who were responsible for carrying out the consultation, turning the process into an initiative of
citizen participation and freedom
of expression.
We collaborated, informed and
provided services and materials, but
we didnt give orders or instructions, he said.
Mas also said that if he was tried
and found guilty he would not rule
out disobeying a ban on holding
public office, depending on the judicial situation of Catalonia. He
made it clear that the case would
not halt the independence process.

Setbacks pile up for the PP

just weeks before election
:: RAMN GORRIARN
MADRID. Wednesday was not a good
day for the Partido Popular. While
Prime Minister Rajoy was still on his
way home from the UN Security
Council meeting in New York, some
of his closest colleagues were rocking the boat back home.
The main upset was the resignation of the president of the Basque
branch of the PP, Arantza Quiroga.
She said that her departure was in direct response to the party leaders rejection of the peace plan she announced last week. This initiative,
aimed at freedom and peaceful coexistence in the Basque Country, included all the parties, even the more
radical separatist groups.
Announcing her departure on
Wednesday, Quiroga defended the
main principles of her project, which
replaced the condemnation of the
terrorist group ETA with a more general rejection of violence. The aim
was to include the separatist party
Bildu in a united statement against
terrorism.
The PP has led the fight against
ETA, she said. Now that ETA is no

longer killing we should lead the
search for [peaceful] coexistence and
the defence of victims.
Meanwhile in Madrid, Treasury
Minister Cristbal Montoro told El
Mundo newspaper that there were
fellow members in the cabinet who
were ashamed of belonging to the
PP, who defended the governments
work without conviction and even
criticised it.
While Deputy PM Soraya Senz

the pieces in Madrid, Justice Minister Rafael Catal Polo was on the Costa

due to open in Marbella on Thursday.
Im not ashamed of being part of
the PP, he told SUR in an interview.
He said that his party had done a
magnificent job and that there were
no bad vibes in the cabinet.
Another setback came in the form
of a public letter from MP Cayetana
lvarez de Toledo in which she informed the party that she will not be
standing for reelection and criticised
the position of Mariano Rajoy.

Optimism in the construction industry and

more new properties than last year
nuary and September last year.
The numbers
JESS
HINOJOSA
jhinojosa@diariosur.es
Architects warn that the

increase in applications to
build new apartments
should be treated with
caution, while developers
see this as a clear sign of
recovery in the sector
MALAGA. There is starting to be
more activity in the construction
sector. For the third time this year,
figures for housing projects in the
province have shown an increase compared with those released by the Official College of Architects for previous
quarters.
There are clear signs of recovery
after four years during which activity has almost been at a standstill because of the economic crisis.
Between July and September this
year, approval was granted for 922
homes, a figure which has not been
seen in a single quarter since early 2010. It brings the number of
new homes planned in the province so far this year to 1,797 - the
highest figure for five years and
three times as many as the 584
which were approved between Ja-
The figures revealed by the College of Architects this week show

that so far this year approval has
been given for 610 new homes in
the city of Malaga (which is six times as many as in the same period
in 2014) and 716 for the western
Costa del Sol. Of the latter, 444 are
in Marbella, which is four times
more than last year.
In the city of Malaga, half of the
property authorisations are for official protection homes, a sector
which is also starting to improve
after being badly affected by the
recession. During this period there have also been more authorisations for new properties along the
eastern coast and inland areas of
the province, but to a much lesser
extent.
Within the construction sector,
Six residential projects

have been authorised
in Marbella in the past
three months
There are clear signs of
recovery in the sector
after four years of
inactivity
there have been different reactions

to these figures. The head of the
College of Architects, Francisco
Sarabia, says it is too soon to start
applauding. The figures show that
the trend is changing, but only
from a downturn to a stabilisation.
It is a fragile improvement, he
warns.
He bases his opinion on projects
for apartment blocks rather than
individual houses, and says these
show that there has been a notable recovery in the construction
sector but this type of project only
exists in the city of Malaga and in
Marbella. Six residential projects
have been authorised in Marbella
in the past three months, for a total of about 200 apartments. About
500 apartments are planned in the
city of Malaga.
We have to be cautious and
wait for a general growth in this
type of project elsewhere in the
province, if we are to talk about a
trend towards recovery in the medium term, he explains.
The general secretary of the
Association of Builders and Developers (ACP) of Malaga, Violeta
Aragn, is more optimistic. Though
she recognises that the sector is
still at an historic low and we
cannot talk of a total recovery,
she stresses that activity has resumed to a level which has not been
seen for some time.
The authorisation figures coincide with what many people with
whom we have regular contact in
the construction industry are telling us. They say that they are starting to notice a rise in demand
which cannot be met from the
housing stock, because they dont
have a great deal of stock left, and
that is why they are starting to
plan new developments which will
be completed within two or three
years, she says.
Progress to be made
For Violeta Aragn, there is still
a way to go before the construction industry in Malaga returns to
its normal rhythm of about 12,000
authorisations a year, but this upturn is the first step towards a gradual recovery, she says.
With regard to the fact that
most new properties have been
planned for the city of Malaga and
Marbella, she says this is logical
because those are the places where the existing stock does not
match the incipient demand.
If there is a real demand for something which is not available in
an area, somebody will start to develop it, she explains.
Changing attitudes
Violeta also points out that banks
are now more open and ready to
listen, when builders and private
buyers approach them for finance,
and she attributes this to the recovery of the labour market. There
are still families with economic

problems, but the banks have changed their attitude, she says.
Employment in the construction industry was hit very badly
by the crisis, but it too is showing
an improvement. Figures from Social Security show that whereas
nearly 100,000 people worked in
the sector in 2007, that figure had
dropped to 31,000 by 2013.
However, in the past two years
more than 4,700 jobs have been
created and there are now 36,000
Social Security affiliations linked
to the construction industry.
It should, however, be noted that
most of the new jobs are for casual
labour.

Pigeon protest gets

backing of the council
RICKY LEACH
mail@coinlife.info
ALHAURN DE LA TORRE. One

week after animal rights campaigners protested against the use of live
pigeons at a shooting club in Alhaurn de la Torre, the local town
council has agreed to a motion asking the Junta de Andaluca to stop
issuing licences for shooting competitions that use living targets.
The motion by Alhaurn de la Torre
council also calls on the regional government to ensure that it does not
sponsor or fund such shooting competitions where live birds are used.
The protest at the Club de Tiro
Jarapalo (Jarapalo Shooting Club)
took place on Saturday 4 October,
with over 100 people petitioning
the club, its members and those taking part in the Campeonato de Espaa de Tiro al Vuelo (the Spanish
live bird shooting championship)
being held there that day, to swap
live pigeons for clay pigeons, known
as platos in Spanish.
Competitors in the Spanish championship typically take up to two
shots at individual birds released
automatically from baskets placed
on the ground, with many of the pigeons never reaching more than a
metre or two above the basket.
Other methods of releasing birds as
targets include firing live quail into
the air in front of the shooting competitor, using a spring-loaded bird
launcher but it is also the fate and
suffering of injured birds that have
been shot but not killed that the
protesters hoped to prevent.

Among those demonstrating outside the club in Alhaurn de la Torre
was Virginia Len from Malaga, who
has been a member of the campaigning group Mis Amigas Las Palomas
(My Friends The Pigeons) for just a
few months.
Len told SUR in English that
when she and her fellow protesters
arrived at the shooting club to begin their peaceful demonstration,
officers from the Guardia Civil were
already waiting at the start of the
road leading to the club.
They told us we could not continue to the entrance of the club but
we showed them the official permission we had been granted to
make the protest and they let us go
on to the gates, she said.
In the end the protest passed off
peacefully and the protesters did not
discover injured birds falling on land
around the club as they have at other
locations. Members of Mis Amigas
Las Palomas have in the past witnessed grounded birds injured in similar competitions being stamped on

Inland towns give green

light to latest sewage plans
:: R. LEACH
INLAND. Councillors in Con have
given the green light to a new
agreement between three inland
town halls and the Junta de Andaluca to build a new sewage treatment facility near the Guadalhorce
River.
The latest plans include not only
the provision of the new joint water treatment works at a cost of 6.4
million euros, but also a further 5.7
million euros for the construction
of two large collection tanks, one
to serve Con and the other for lora
and Pizarra. Waste from all three
towns will be piped from the collection tanks to the new sewage
processing plant or EDAR (Estacin depuradora de aguas residuales)
in Spanish.
The latest agreement replaces
one signed by all three councils
nearly two years ago but which did
by club officials to end their misery.

According to Len, around
250,000 pigeons and 200,000 quail
are killed in shooting competitions
each year in Spain, one of only
seven countries in the world to
condone the use of live birds in official sports shooting competitions.
The use of live pigeons in shooting competitions was made illegal
in the United Kingdom in 1921.
The motion agreed unanimously
by Alhaurn de la Torre council was
proposed by Alhaurn Despierta, a
coalition of representatives from
various political parties.
Juan Manuel Mancebo, spokesman for Alhaurn Despierta, thanked
Mis Amigas Las Palomas and the
other people involved in the protest. He said: They have been working to make this activity visible,
which involves the shooting to
death of more than 500,000 pigeons
and quail each year in Spain.
The Club de Tiro Jarapalo in Alhaurn de la Torre did not respond
to requests for an interview from
SUR in English.
not include the provision of the

collection tanks.
Under the terms of the latest proposal, the three councils will assume responsibility for running
and maintenance of the joint system. European funds will cover 80
per cent of the total construction
costs, with the remainder paid by
the Junta de Andaluca.
Although the motion to support
the new agreement was carried at
a recent council meeting, opponents
of the scheme in Con argue that
the town should be building its own
sewage plant, independent of the
other two towns.
Con councillors for the socialist
party (PSOE) and the Izquierda
Unida (IU) voted against the latest
proposals, describing the plan to
pipe sewage to the new plant as
wasteful and expensive, adding
that if treated locally, the treated
effluent could be used to irrigate

crops, reducing the pressure on underground water supplies.
While Con town halls own
Councillor for the Environment,
Antonio Lucena, agrees with the
sentiment, he told the council that
if they didnt take the funding offered for the joint treatment works,
the council could not afford the construction of its own facility. He
added that the running costs for a
bespoke system for Con would also
be much higher on an ongoing basis and that the proposal by the
Junta de Andaluca met the requirements of European law on the treatment of sewage.
Councillor Lucena added that the
town hall is looking into an alternative supply of irrigation water for
local growers, from an underground
river source that has been deemed
unfit for human consumption.
Before agreeing to the joint inland sewage scheme, councillors
were reminded of the environmental consequences and the fines
the council must pay if untreated
sewage continues to be poured into
the streams and rivers around Con.

The heroes of rural education

Teachers do the rounds of 37 villages in the province
every day to give classes to around 1,500 pupils
VANESSA
MELGAR
vmelgarnaranjo@gmail.com
As well as teaching,
they have to drive
along country roads
and adapt to classes
with children of
different ages
RONDA. Drive and teach a class,
drive and teach another class... This
is day-to-day life for the teachers
who take to the roads to keep education alive in rural areas. They travel over much of the province, village to village, school to school, classroom to classroom, to impart their
knowledge to pupils who live in villages and hamlets with few inhabitants and a proportionately low
number of schoolchildren.
These teachers could be called the
heroes of education, because as well
as the normal problems associated
with their profession, they have to
drive to different places along country roads which in many cases are
in poor condition, and when they
arrive at their destinations (they visit several places a day) they have to
adapt to teaching small classes of
pupils of different ages. They have
to reinvent themselves, decide on
the best strategies and how to organise themselves to teach their subjects to, for example, a four year old
and an 11 year old in the same classroom. The teachers also have to carry all their materials with them in
their vehicles, as they travel from
place to place.
In Malaga there are 13 Rural
Schools, known as CPRs, and together with their sub-branches,
they are attended by around 1,500
pupils from 37 villages. Figures from
the Junta de Andalucas Education
Department show that about 500
of the pupils would otherwise be
at infant school, 900 in primary and
around 160 in Obligatory Secondary

Education (ESO).
More than 210 teachers attend to
these pupils. Some work in a specific school while others, such as those who specialise in Music, English
or PE, travel to different ones as part
of their days work. They are given a
petrol allowance and the length of
their working day is reduced to compensate for the time they spend on
the road, but teaching unions say
that not all teachers receive their expenses and that the amount does not
take into account wear and tear on
the vehicle, among other problems.
Some teachers also have to share a
transport service.
On the other side of the coin, many
itinerant teachers say they love their
profession even more because they
feel that they are guaranteeing the
right to education and equal opportunities in the most isolated areas of
the province.
The roads are dangerous

The Serrana de Ronda, and specifically the Genal Valley, is the area with
the highest concentration of small
municipalities in terms of population. In this region, the itinerant teachers say that the roads are one of the
main drawbacks.
Francisco Javier Bada is a PE teacher and he travels more than 150 kilometres a week in his Seat Leon, carrying all his equipment with him.
He works for the Alto Genal rural
school, which organises classes in six
villages: Pujerra, Parauta, Cartajima,

Every teacher has their own strategy: while one pupil is reading you
spend time with another one, as the
youngest ones are playing with plasticine... I feel there are benefits from
working like this. I believe the children grow up in a healthier environment, as if they were in private classes. There is no noise in the classroom,
you can maintain control and it only
takes five minutes to mark tests... Admittedly there are some problems,
for example in English when you
need to use audiovisual equipment,
because that could bother other pupils, he says.
Three of the 24 teachers at the Almijara CPR school agree: the different levels of the pupils is one of the
biggest difficulties they face. The
school is based in Sayalonga and has
classes in rchez, Corumbela, Canillas de Albaida, Sedella and Salares,

It is a fact that the lack of work
opportunities in these tiny villages is forcing many of their inhabitants to move to Ronda in search
of a better future. Cartajima, with

aware of this because its branch
of the school has only four pupils.
The local council is offering advantageous conditions for housing
and employment, to attract families to the village and encourage
them to register their children at
the school. The initiative is paying
off, because this branch of the Alto
Genal CPR is still open.
In Alpandeire, with 269 inhabitants and a dropping birth rate,
six children attend the school and
the town hall has also been studying ways of attracting more people to the village.

it is much more enriching for the

At present, the 13 CPRs in Malaga province operate so that the
pupils arent forced to travel to

However many residents were

it was beyond economical repair.

Recurring problem
Gibraltar has suffered from a number of blackouts over the past few

In April 2014, a fire and explosion hit Waterport Power Station
leaving the entire British Overseas Territory without power for

At present the two main political parties are debating where Gibraltars new 77-million-pound

GIBRALTAR. Aviation bosses in Gibraltar are celebrating after the
Rocks airport recorded its busiest
ever July and August this year. According to officials, more than
90,000 passengers travelled through
Gibraltar International Airport during the two months.
The rise in passenger numbers is

being attributed to the new Bristol,
Casablanca and Tangier flights that
were introduced this year as well
as an increase in the amount of customers flying to established routes
such as London, Birmingham and
Manchester.
Terence Lopez, Air Terminal Director, said: Last year was a record
breaking year, and it is encouraging
to see that this growth has continued in 2015 and a growing number
of passengers have chosen to fly to
and from Gibraltar.

With these three new destinations,
we are seeing positive growth and
further utilisation of the terminal
building and resources, as well as expanding the choice of destinations
available both for inbound passengers and for the local community. The
Tourist Board put forward a strategy
and the figures demonstrate that this
is working.
A total of 46,608 passengers
travelled through the airport in
July, an increase of 12.7 per cent
against July 2014. 47,359 used the
airport in August, 9.9 per cent
above the August 2014 figures. The
busiest date so far this year was
Sunday 16 August, with 2,532 passengers arriving and departing
through the airport on scheduled
services.
The airport was built during the
Second World War on the site of a
horse racing course. Opened in 1939,
it was originally used as an emergency airfield for the Royal Navy.
However, it was later extended by
reclaiming land and using rock
blasted from the extension of military tunnels inside the Rock.
In 1987, an agreement was signed
between the UK and Spain that would
have seen a new terminal built in La
Lnea, to allow joint use of the airport. But the agreement was blocked
by the Government of Gibraltar in
1988. Since then, Spain has managed
to exclude the Rocks airport from
European-wide deregulation initiatives. This has prevented airlines flying from Gibraltar to the rest of the
European Union, except to the UK.

to check if it has been handed in.
Emergency reaction
This morning [Tuesday] an elderly man was unwell and came
to sit down in Tahona Cafe,
Sabinillas.
The emergency services were
called and responded almost immediately. Members of the Seguridad Ciudadana were so kind
and attentive.
On behalf of us all we express
grateful thanks that such care is
on hand. Also thanks to the caring staff of the Cafe Tahona.

Many hundreds of items are

never claimed. Stolen property
found on a suspect when they
are arrested will be deposited at
the National Police or Guardia
Civil office where that person
was processed.
This week a Russian lady, who
was waiting at the police station
to report the loss of her passport
in Malaga, received a call to say
her passport had been recovered
by the Guardia at El Chorro.
Many crimes and losses can
be reported in a number of languages, including English, by calling 902 102 112 and then going
to a National Police station to
sign and pick up the report.
Finally, it can be useful to send
an email to oneself, leaving it in
a folder, listing reference numbers like the IMEI, info how to
report the loss of and cancel credit
cards, insurance contact details,
and any other info you may need
if your phone, wallet etc. are lost
or stolen. The info can then be
recovered from anywhere in the
world if you need it.
SUR in English recently reported

the story about a beggar from
Lithuania and his dog Horro. I
gather that is short for horror?
The way he lets this dog sit for
hours without food or water! It
may be his dog regarding the
chip, but the law in Spain does
not allow animal abuse (except
of course for the terrible bull-
fights).
The law is pretty clear about
this. It says in article 4 that it is
forbidden to use animals for entertainment, fights, popular festivities and other activities that
involve cruelty or abuse that can
cause suffering or make them
subject to unnatural treatment.
Well, what part dont they understand about the law over
here? It seems very clear that
this guy is breaking the law all
the way. So lets get this dog away
from him FAST and prohibit him
from ever getting another dog.

ts the wont of a few of my

friends on social media to post
their personal opinions on
whichever subject most lights
their fire with worrying regularity.
For example, I know some people
with strong political views who like
to express them whenever they feel
the urge. This, unfortunately, is all
too frequently. Its odd, because
they cant possibly believe that they
are going to change anyones opinions in the process. Its the same
down at the pub. Heres an example of a conversation youre never
going to hear there:
Bla, bla, bla - anyway, as I say my
political views are completely the
opposite to yours and here are some
cherry-picked statistics to prove Im
right - bla, bla, bla.
Good Lord, man! What you say
is so true. Youve completely altered
my perspective with what youve
just said and now I totally agree with

you.
Peoples opinions are usually rock
solid by the time theyre thirty-five
and no amount of contrary opinion
is going to change that.
In the same vein, acquaintances
of mine who love animals somehow feel a need to tell everyone
how brilliant it is to love animals
every five minutes; to what end Im
not sure. Try as they might, theyre
never going to make me want to get
a pet because I dont like them, an
opinion that Id formed by the age
of five, not thirty-five.
Perhaps the most disturbing example of this kind concerns alcohol. I fully understand that in some
circumstances drink can be a pernicious beast and is the cause of considerable troubles. On the other
hand its also a bringer of great joy

Its been my great pleasure over the
years to have been stopped in the
street on numerous occasions by
married couples with children, to
be told that they met at a concert

great happiness together. Im sure
a couple of glasses of wine or beer
played an equally significant part
in the process, if only to have helped
them filter out the bum notes.
Its a boon to have a passion in
life but its important to remember
that its your passion, not everyone
elses. For example, I think its really
important to listen to new music
on a regular basis, but I wouldnt

general election just

round the corner, tensions
heightened by the independence challenge in
Catalonia, new politicians at the
helm of important cities who have
their own opinions and have no
qualms about expressing them...The
cocktail was too inflammable for
controversy not to break out on social media.
It was enough for just one political leader to express his nonconformity with the 12 October celebrations, the anniversary of Columbus landing in the New World, as a
national fiesta and to consider that
the indigenous peoples of the American continent were the victims of
genocide, for the debate on the discovery of America to take off on both
sides. To sum up: whoever said that
the conquest of America was an epic

accomplishment was labelled a fascist; and whoever agreed that the
indigenous cultures were bulldozed
and the people forced into slavery,
was called anti-Spanish.
Its surprising how difficult it is
to find moderate opinions and useful contributions.
Its as absurd to analyse events
from the 15th century with values
of the 21st, as it is to state that the
Gospel found its way into America
by persuasion.
This society is so obsessed with
trampling on the opinions of others that it is not capable of looking
further to find out, for example, how
12 October is celebrated overseas.
If we did, we would see that the
celebration has been abolished in
countries with the largest indige-
nous populations, such as Bolivia,

Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico, and neither is it celebrated in
Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador or Cuba.
In other countries it has changed
its name and significance: in Argentina it is the Day of Respect for
Cultural Diversity; in Uruguay, the
Day of the Americas; in Brazil,
Nossa Senhora Aparecida; in Chile,
the Day of the Discovery of two
Worlds; in Venezuela, the Day of
the Indigenous Resistance; and in
Costa Rica, the Day of Cultures.
In other countries the classical
name remains: in Colombia it is
the Day of the Race; in Honduras,
the Day of the Discovery of America; and in Puerto Rico and the
United States, Columbus Day.
Perhaps if we looked further
than the ends of our noses we
would reach interesting conclusions that could even help us recognise ourselves. But therell always be somebody wholl reach
the conclusion that in Venezuela
people are anti-Spanish and in Colombia theyre all fascists.

The secrets of the cemetery
There are so many layers of the

unknown, says Rafael. In a way,
I see the English Cemetery as being
full of life, of lives, and I wanted to
rescue them from oblivion.
Rafael Torres has

launched his book, The
English Eternal
Summer, at the English
Cemetery in Malaga,
among the tombs that
inspired his work
The first foreign residents
:: D. BARTLETT / L. PARRY
MALAGA. The English Cemetery
in Malaga was an appropriate scene
on Thursday for the launch of a new
book by Rafael Torres, El Cementerio de los Ingleses, and its English
translation, The English Eternal
Summer.
It was his visits to this first Protestant cemetery in Spain that inspired Torres to write the stories
behind some of the lesser-known
Britons to have been buried in
Malaga in the 18th, 19th and 20th
centuries.
After speaking about his book in
St Georges church, Torres walked
around the cemetery, talking to
members of the press about these
early foreign residents whose lives,
and deaths, in southern Spain
brought them together in his book.
Rafael Torres told SUR in English
that he has always found the English Cemetery fascinating. Writers always look around them, he

said, they look at everything. When
I looked at the English Cemetery,
and thought about its history and
the difficulties it has experienced
in the past 200 years, I also thought
about the people who are lying
there, underneath those beautiful
trees. Who were they? What
brought them here? What were their
lives like? What sort of society did
they live in? They died in a country

that was not their own; that adds
an extra layer of melancholy to their
deaths, somehow.
Torress book has been published
in Spanish as El Cementerio de los
Ingleses and in English as The English Eternal Summer. It is a fascinating look at the lives of some of
those who are buried in the ceme-
tery, but this author has concentrated not on the people whose
names are well known - such as
George Stephens, captain of the brigantine Cicero, Robert Boyd, who
was executed by firing squad along
with General Torrijos, author Gerald Brenan and his wife, the poet
Gamel Woolsey - but also the other
inhabitants, the ones we dont know.
The English Eternal Summer is

like paying a return visit to those
who came to Malaga from the 18th
century onwards. Their reasons for
coming were very similar to those
which have brought thousands of
foreigners to the Costa del Sol today: the climate, which as well as
being much more pleasant than
that of their own countries, was
also beneficial for their health; or
to work, because this region offered
plenty of opportunities in trade, in
mining, in agriculture etc. They
came, and they stayed.
Torres explained how it took a
long time to research this book,
painstakingly building up a picture of the lives of people who
came to Malaga in the past with
only the information on their headstones as a starting point. The result, however, is almost as if he has
brought the characters back to life.
And that, he said, was what I
wanted to do.
Rafael Torres is a well-known
journalist and author who lives on
the Costa del Sol. His works include
Los Nufragos del Stanbrook, for
which he won the Ateneo de Sevilla
prize, and several books about the
Spanish Civil War. He has been a
columnist for El Mundo newspaper
and regularly appears on television
and radio.

Malagas main shopping street is

he name Larios crops up

everywhere in Malaga. The
main street is most often
referred to as Calle Larios,
though its full name is Calle Marqus de Larios, and there is a statue
of the Marquis at one end, apparently put up by a grateful city
(Mlaga agradecida). So who was
this nobleman, and why would the
city pay such homage to him?
Manuel Domingo Larios y Larios
(1836-1895) was the second holder
of a title bestowed on the family by
Isabel II in 1865. He was born in
Malaga, a city which in the second
half of the 19th century was Spains
most important industrial production centre after Barcelona, and the
Marquis had a significant role as a
textile industrialist and financier.
(The second Marquis of Larios can-
not take credit for the eponymous

gin. It was the third, Jos Aurelio
Larios, who in 1932 acquired the
Jimnez y Lamothe distillery and
gave his name to Ginebra Larios.)
When a committee was set up in
the city to promote the construction of a new street to bear the Marquiss name, a million pesetas was
raised by subscription - a high proportion of the funds being put up
by members of the Larios family.

The monument to the Marquis, set

up after his death in 1895 is by the
Valencian sculptor Mariano Benlliure, and has on one side a female
figure and a child representing
Charity, and on the other, an allegory to Work. The Marquis of Larios
was not, however, as universally
popular as the grateful inscription

on the statue implies. With industrialisation had come social changes
and the Larios businesses came under attack from dissidents for the
poor working conditions.
During the upheavals of 1931,

the statue was pulled down by

READING INTO SPAIN
MARK NAYLER
As far as you can go - and one step further

Jason Webster, (b. 1970) Duende: A Journey in Search of Flamenco (2003)
ason Webster has

written what is surely
the most arresting
opening sentence in
recent travel literature,
a sentence that forces
difficult, searching questions upon
you: Often we end up doing what
we almost want to do because we
lack the courage to do what we
really want to do.
I read this book for the first time
shortly after graduating, on a dark,
oppressive English winter evening
in my south London flat. I couldnt
get that opening sentence - with
its bluntly-stated challenge - out of
my mind, and I was deeply affected
by what followed it: Websters
wildly exciting account of moving
to Spain in search of a new life and
the indefinable essence of flamenco.
Webster read Arabic at Oxford
and was at risk of drifting into an
academic career after graduating,
an uninviting prospect for a young
man in search of adventure. A tutors suggestion that Webster remain in Oxford to do some research
proved to be a life-changing recommendation, but probably not in the
way the elderly don intended it to
be: Webster bought a ticket and
guitar and caught a plane the next
day. Spurred on by adolescent fantasies set in a vivid land of towering cathedrals and flamenco dancers, brilliant blue skies and deathdefying bullfighters, there was only
one possible destination for Webster: Spain.
Realms and realms have been
written about duende, an untranslatable word that refers, at least
in part, to a feeling or emotional
state induced by flamenco. As a result, writers are always at risk of tedious repetition when discussing
it, or of getting lost - and losing their
readers - in esoteric, impenetrable
musings.
Websters masterstroke, though,
is to frame his quest for duende not
only as a quest for the intoxicating
feeling itself, but as part of complete immersion in a particular way
of life. In this book, flamenco is not
Gypsies take their flamenco onto the streets. :: SALVADOR SALAS

only an art form, it is a lifestyle
choice, an existential commitment
without which any attempted pursuit of duende is futile.
As Carlos, the drunken leader of
the gypsy flamenco band Webster
falls in with in Madrid, tells his guiri
guitarist: You want to experience
real flamenco? You want to know
what duende is really about? Its
about living on the edge. Its about
taking yourself as far as you can go,
and then going one step further.
Webster first flew to Alicante,
where his only contact in Spain
lived. He spent a year there, practising guitar for hours and hours
every day, and had a passionate affair with an older married woman
named Lola. Webster realised later
on that to Lola he was a plaything,
a fad, one of a string of young lovers she habitually took to brighten
the stifling monotony of her marriage - but Webster fell madly in
love with her, and she broke his
heart. This book was written about
ten years after the events it describes, but it is clear from the
way Webster writes about his
ver
beautiful, capricious ex-lover
onal
that he still bears the emotional
nse,
scars from their affair. You sense,
ss of
in fact, that his love and loss
Lola became a crucial part off his
quest for duende. After all, sufn the
fering and loss, captured in
ondo
haunting laments of cante jondo
ments
- deep song - are crucial elements
of the flamenco creed this young
ve by.
Englishman was trying to live
Forced to flee Alicante when
nt hushe feared that Lolas violent
band suspected their affair, an utterly heartbroken Webster travelled to Madrid. And it was in the
capital that his quest for duende
took on a new, more complex,
emotional dimension. Amazingly,
Webster was accepted into a harddrinking gypsy gang of flamenco
performers, whose dedication to
what they saw as the true flamenco lifestyle eclipsed their lim-
Amazingly, Webster was

ited musical ability.

With their crazed guitarist Jess,
Webster races stolen cars through
Madrids streets at night; he becomes addicted to cocaine, the flamenco drug of choice, and smokes
Ducados black tobacco, the cigarette of the counter culture; he
tours as a guitarist with the band
in Valencia and lives, as a true flamenco should, on the margins of
respectable society. This drug and
booze-fuelled, anarchic lifestyle is
the backdrop to his inner grappling
with questions of self-identity, flamenco as both music and philosophy and the nature of duende.
His quest ends on an ambiguous
note, reflecting the chameleon-like
nature of duende itself. What, exactly, is it? Webster put the question to himself in Granada, where
he headed to recover from the excesses of Madrid. A definitive answer to that question, he realises,
is impossible - but that very realisa
sation,
in a sense, constitutes the
an
answer.
If duende can be a state of
m
melancholic
ecstasy induced by true
fl
flamenco,
it can also be many other
th
things
to many people: Certainly
it existed, but I wondered if the
qu
quality
of what each individual felt
d
depended
on what he or she
b
brought
to the experience. For
so
some,
he reflects, duende can even
be love.
In March this year, after years of
pr
procrastination
in London, I finally
m
moved
to Spain myself. For this lifech
changing
experience, I am partly an happily - indebted to Webster
and
an to Duende. Indeed, anyone
and
w has lived abroad or who is
who
th
thinking
of living abroad, especially
in Spain, will find plenty to identi with or inspire in this exhilatify

book. For it is a testament to
th rewards of doing what you really
the
want to do, not what you almost
want to do - a path that perhaps also
leads to ones very own duende.

This dentist specialises in all types of odontology services for foreign patients.
The clinic is in Av. Ramn y Cajal in Fuengirola.
It uses the latest equipment for diagnosis and treatment.
Doctora Voutilainen is part of the Clnicas Cuevas Queipo

team of professionals, who work at the Vithas Xanit Fuengirola hospital.
CLNICAS CUEVAS QUEIPO IN FUENGIROLA
THE FOREIGN PATIENTS HAVE

CONFIDENCE IN OUR INTEGRAL
AND CONTINUAL SERVICE
FUENGIROLA
With more than 25 years experience and

a constant commitment to providing its
patients with top quality services, Clnicas Cuevas Queipo has become a
benchmark for odontology in Malaga and
now has clinics in the city and different
towns on the Costa del Sol. One of these
is Vithas Xanit Fuengirola, where Clnicas Queipo is a leader in the sector of
odontology and multidisciplinary maxillofacial surgery. Over a dozen professionals and auxiliary staff work at the clinic, using state-of-the-art diagnostic and
therapeutic techniques, resolving complicated cases and rehabilitating every type
of smile, functionally and cosmetically.
Dr. c Irene Voutilainen is one of the members of this team. After extensive training
and specialising in different fields of odontology, she offers her patients, many of
whom are foreigners, an integral service
and continued personalised attention.
How long have you been part of the team
at Cuevas Queipo Fuengirola?
I joined the Cuevas Queipo team at Vithas
Xanit Fuengirola at the start of December 2014. I lived here before, from 2001
to 2007, but then I went back to Finland
for seven years and now I have returned.
How would you evaluate the reaction
from patients in that time?
Its difficult to evaluate because a year is
a short time and, because I mainly work
with the foreign patients, I dont have an
overall view of the activity of the practi-
ce. However, I believe the reaction has

been very good. I am continually receiving more patients from all over the area,
who come because they learn about the
service we offer at Cuevas Queipo.
Also, many of the patients I had when I
lived here before have come back to me now.
For me, that is something to be proud of
because, although seven years is a long time,
they value the way I work and they trust me.
At Clnicas Cuevas Queipo we are

committed to prevention through
check-ups, cleaning, diet and
teaching people about the risks of
bad dental health
Why do they decide to come to you?
Most of the Finnish patients, those who
are on holiday and those who live here,
come because our location is close to
them and because they know I speak their
language. Also, many of them come because they are used to the way Finnish
dentists work, which is a little different
to the Spanish way.
What is the difference?
In Spain it is normal in most clinics for
the first consultation to be with a professional, who is often the medical director, and then patients are seen by other
specialists, depending on their problem
and the diagnosis. In Finland, normally,

the dentist a patient sees on their first visit is the one who continues their treatment throughout the process.
Here, we offer continued monitoring
of the patient and their treatment, and
that gives them security. If maxillofacial
surgery is needed, and that is something
we also do here, we continue to followup with the patient after the operation.
Are all the Cuevas Queipo services available here?
Yes, we offer the same services as the clinic in the centre of Malaga: implants,
surgery, childrens dentistry, orthodontics, etc. Everything.
To do that, we also have the latest technology, such as X-ray equipment, 3D, panoramic radiograph and intraoral camera, and
our team consists of six dentists, a maxillofacial specialist and four auxiliaries.
What nationality are your patients, mostly?
Mine are mainly Finnish. A lot of Finnish
people live in Fuengirola, and most of them
are older people who dont speak any other
language, not English or Spanish. They
want somebody they trust and who can
speak to them in Finnish. We also treat patients of many other nationalities, such as
Scandinavians and, of course, British.
Which treatments do you carry out most?
That depends very much on the type of patient. Personally, I carry out a lot of urgent
treatment for people who are on holiday.
For patients who live here, apart from checkups, we mainly do implants, crowns, fillings
etc. All the general odontology services.

What is the profile of your patients?
Many of them are pensioners who live
here six months of the year. They come
here in the winter, which is much warmer
and more pleasant than in their own country, and they go home in the summer.
There are also families who spend some
of their time here, or live and work here.
It is not the same as 10 or 20 years ago,
when practically all the foreigners were
pensioners; there are younger people and
even Finnish businesses in the province
now. Globalisation means that people can
work from almost any country and many
people come to Malaga and the coast because the quality of life here is very good.
What are foreign patients like?
They are more aware of the importance of dental health. Foreigners are more
accustomed to going to their dentist every
year. In Finland, for example, it is a free
service up until the age of 18 and that
creates more awareness and habit. Even
when it is no longer free, they continue
to visit their dentist.
In Spain it is gradually becoming more
like that, as people are becoming more
aware. At Clnicas Cuevas Queipo we
are committed to prevention through
check-ups, cleaning, diet and teaching
people about the risks of bad dental
health, in children as well as adults.

famous musical, The
Rocky Horror Show
(add the word Picture
if youre thinking of the film)
landed in Fuengirola from Transsexual, Transylvania, last week
and since then has been taking
the towns English-speaking
theatre by storm. For anyone familiar with either version, you
will know what to expect: weirdness, quirkiness and quite a lot of
sexual antici.....pation. For those
who may only have heard the
signature song the Time Warp at
the odd party, or not even that,

As I discovered before going,
trying to explain exactly what the

turned down the invitation to go,
I guess due to lack of information.
Basically, its a tongue-in-cheek
tribute to the late night picture
shows of the 1940s to the 1970s,
combining the science fiction and
horror b films of those decades.
The story starts with a young,

SALON VARIETS ROCKS

THE TIME WARP
The theatres production of the Rocky
Horror Show has all the elements any
discerning fan would expect
The cast does the Time Warp at the end of the show. :: D. F.
entist called Frank N. Furter, has

created an Adonis; a beautifully
sculpted man with blond hair
and a tan, good for relieving the
scientists tension, who he
names Rocky.
It was my first trip to the Salon
Variets. I had heard and read a lot
about it and as a regular theatregoer back in the UK, was eager to
see how an English-speaking
theatre in Spain worked. When I
saw that they were putting on a
production of one of my all-time
favourite musicals, it seemed like
the perfect opportunity to go. I
wasnt disappointed.
The theatre itself took me right
back to the small theatres and
arthouse cinemas of places like
Brighton; a venue full of charm
and character, with a diverse
crowd, particularly after the
show, when the actors, still in full
make-up, filled up the bar, in need
of a well-earned drink after a
high-energy performance.
I really didnt know what to expect from the performance itself
and I wasnt sure, as I looked
around at the rest of the audience,
what they were going to make of
it either.
I assumed that the Rocky Horror Show is famous enough and
people know what it entails (lots
of men, and women, dressed up in
basques, fishnets and towering
heels), but I also wondered if the
Salon Variets has a loyal following who go, regardless of whats
on. Either way, by the finale everyone seemed to be up for joining

in the Time Warp dance, which
involves a pelvic thrust, among
other moves. There were also
some Rocky Horror groupies in
the house, who knew exactly
when and how to heckle every
time the narrator appeared on
stage, and the narrator himself
had clearly done it before because
he knew exactly how to respond
(the words of choice could not be
published in SUR in English!)
The singing and dancing were
as good as any Ive seen, as were
Columbias high-pitched voice
and Riff-Raff the caretakers
hunch. Peter Height seemed
much more comfortable with
the singing than the speaking
parts of his role as Frank N.
Furter and I missed the panache
of Tim Curry in the film. Having
said that though, he carried off
the stilettos fabulously!
The Salon Variets interpretation of the Rocky Horror Show,
directed by Peter Mitchell, definitely does credit to the original
version, so if youre looking for a
fun night out this weekend, go to
see the show if you can.
It runs until Sunday and tickets
are 18 euros. Keep an open mind
if you arent familiar with the
story and prepare to be entertained.

I had a traffic accident, and the
car suffered several damages.
However, when I informed
the insurance company, they
said that it was a total loss and
refused to repair the car,
because the cost of the repair
is higher than the value of the
car. My friends have told to
make a claim against the
insurance, as they are obliged
to repair the car paying the

total cost. I would like to know
if they are right.
In case that you were not
responsible for the accident, the
insurance company will be
obliged to cover the damages to
the car. As for the repair of the
car considered as total loss,
your wish has priority over
anything else, so if you want the
car to be repaired, the insurance
company cannot refuse.
REF. D.T.C.
Some months ago I rented a
flat that had n0 services connected, the owner told me
that I would have to contract
them. I had no problem with
this, so we signed the rental
contract. Nevertheless, when
I asked the owner for the installation certificates, he said
that he did not have them,
and refused to pay the expense if I applied for new
ones, so I cannot be connected to the services. I have
been trying to speak with

him, but now he did not even
answer the phone or return
my calls. I would like to know
if I could stop paying the rent
until the landlord solves this
situation, since right now the
property is uninhabitable. I
have been unable to move
yet, as I do not want to live in
a cave!
In your case, it would not be
advisable to stop paying the
rent, as if the contract is valid,
your duty is to pay. It is understandable that you do not
want to pay until all these
problems are solved, but if
you do not pay, the owner
could sue you, and the result
would be that, apart from not
solving the problem, you
would also have to pay the
fees of a bailiff and a lawyer.
In this case, you should contact the owner in writing giving him a specific term to
solve the problems. If he continued ignoring your requests,
you could take legal action.

Gala dinner raises 4,685

for animal charity
:: ASH BOLTON
n 4 July 2012 the regulation 650/2012 of the

European Union was approved to try to unify
the European legislation on successions which came into force in
Spain on 17 August 2015 and will
be applied to any succession which
takes place after that date.
Who will be affected by the

regulation?
The regulation will be applied to
successions which occur in countries of the European Union or involve EU citizens. It will not be applicable in Denmark, Ireland and
United Kingdom, however it can
affect citizens from these countries
who reside normally in another
member state.
What are the main contents?

The new regulation establishes as
general rule that the law applicable
to a succession is the law of the
country where the deceased had
his or her last permanent address at
the time of the death.
However, the regulation expressly allows that one can request
that the law applied to his or her

More than 100 guests attended

The fundraiser was the idea of the

Kara teamed up with local expat
photographers Rebecca Louise and
Gary Tapp to create the calendar,
which has been designed with men
on one side and women on the
other.
Its hoped that sales from the calendar will raise a further 20,000
for the charity, if all of them are sold.
Kara, 31, from Kent, who has
lived in Spain for 15 years and also
features in the calendar, said: We
wanted to create a charity calendar
with a difference which would appeal to a wider audience, not just
people who work or volunteer in

INTERNATIONAL
SUCCESSIONS
succession be his or her personal
law - i.e. that of the country of nationality - having to specifically
state this in a will.
How can this affect you?

If you reside and live in the country of your nationality this regulation will not affect you at all as the
law applicable to the succession
will be your national law, and any
provisions made by way of a will in
your country will have taken into
account the legislation applicable
and there will be no contradiction.
However, if you decide to
change your residence to another
country of the EU this regulation
may be of importance to you, as
the succession law of this country
would be applicable to your inheri-
tance and you would have to find

out if the internal regulations are
in contradiction with the terms of
your last will.
If we take for example the case
of a UK national with descendants
who resides in Spain and who in
his will has stated that he wishes
to leave everything to his partner/
spouse - this being possible according to British law as he has freedom to dispose of his assets - we
have the following situation:
The EU regulation will be applicable to him because he is resident
in Spain, a country which is bound
by the new EU regulation.
Formerly, before the EU regulation came into force, the law applicable to the inheritance was ones
national law, i.e. British law, irre-
All the stars throughout the Universe are not just scattered around,
instead they are collected together
in galaxies. We live inside a galaxy, The Milky Way, along with
about 200 billion other stars. Galaxies are huge, our galaxy is probably 180,000 light years across but
we cant see much of it simply
because were inside it so we can
only guess what it looks like from
a distance.
Until 1923 astronomers believed that everything that could
be seen even with the most powerful telescopes existed inside our
galaxy. It was not until American
astronomer Edwin Hubble using
a 100-inch telescope took a photograph of an object known as
the Andromeda Nebula, the photograph showed that the Nebula
was actually a separate galaxy
made of billions of stars and not
part of our galaxy at all. This revelation changed almost everything
we knew about space, it was considered such an important discovery that the Hubble Space Telescope was named in his honour.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the
most distant object you can see
without a telescope, if you live
in a very dark area and know
where to look it is quite easy to
see and appears as a fuzzy patch
in the sky. It is bigger than our
spective of the place where he was

residing at the time of the death
and his last will would have been
completely respected and any
Spanish assets passed to his partner/ spouse.
Nowadays however, if the death
occurs while residing in Spain the
law applicable to the inheritance is
Spanish law and wishes expressed
in the will wont be fully respected, as in Spain two thirds of
the assets go compulsorily to certain heirs who, in this case, would
be the children. The partner/spouse would be entitled to
the life interest of one third of the
two thirds belonging to his children and he can only dispose freely
of one third of the assets which
would go to his wife or partner as
per his wish.
However, he can avoid this happening if he expressly states in his
will that in any circumstances he
wishes that his future succession is
governed by the law of his nationality, i.e. British law. In this case
there will be no contradiction between the contents of the will, the
terms of which are in accordance
with British inheritance law, and
own galaxy at about 220,000 light

years across and contains possibly 400 billion stars. It is 2.5 million light years away so the light
you are seeing has taken 2.5 million years to reach us.
With the advent of more powerful telescopes we now know
that there are billions of billions
of other galaxies all containing
many billions of stars but the Andromeda galaxy is our closest
neighbour. Photographs show us
that it is a spiral galaxy similar to
our own with a dense bulged centre and arms spiralling out towards the edge. It gets its name
from the area of the sky it is located, near the constellation of
Andromeda. It is also known as
M31 or Messier 31, a list of 110 objects compiled in 1771 by a French
comet hunter named Charles
Messier.
At this time of the year the Andromeda galaxy is almost directly
overhead. To find it first locate
the large W of Cassiopeia which
is easily recognisable. Using the
right hand V that forms part of
the W as an arrow to point to
the galaxy. Use your binoculars
and once youve found it youll
be amazed at how clear it appears.

the law applicable to the succession (British law).
Why has this EU regulation

simplified the succession
procedure?
A European succession certificate is
issued by the country that governs
the succession which will enable
heirs and legatees, prove their
rights in the succession in another
member state where assets are located to be inherited. This simplifies the procedure in case of a succession where more than one country is involved.
Why is the law important?

The heir can freely choose the law
applicable to the succession which
can be the personal law, i.e. the law
of the nationality, or the law of the
country of the last permanent address of the deceased. This is an important matter to take into account
when planning the succession.

Southern Spain has a multitude of hidden corners

just waiting to be discovered: this week we suggest
you take the road to...
Andaluca, low cost trips for autumn

Walking, photography routes, inexpensive tapas and culture will tempt you away from home
:: ISABEL VARGAS
MALAGA. The Andalusian countryside is tinted with autumn colours. The summer months of beaches and sea are behind us and the
aquaparks have closed for the season, but the mild climate at this time
of year makes the region ideal for
other outdoor activities such as walking, climbing or excursions to the
many villages which are rich in history and culture as well as gastronomy. The reasonable prices and good
weather are a perfect combination,
and Andaluca is guaranteed to offer
something for everybody.
One suggestion is to visit Cordoba, a province which is very popular with cyclists and hikers. One of
the main attractions is the Valle de
los Pedroches area, about 300,000
hectares of countryside with gentle hills and oak forests to the north
of Cordoba city.
In this part of Cordoba you will
find several places which are ideal
for walking. One highly recommended route, according to the
www.es.wikiloc.com website, is the
one which runs between the village of Pozoblanco (famous for its delicious Iberian ham) and the Santuario de la Virgen de Luna, which is 11
kilometres from Villanueva. A cycle route begins right beside the Virgen de Luna chapel. It is classified
as moderate difficulty and those
who follow it will be able to enjoy
the views of the so-called acorn valley, where in the past it was almost
certain that pigs would wander across
your path at some point.
Another very enjoyable activity
in the countryside at this time of
year is climbing, and the province
of Jan is home to many of the most
attractive places for this type of activity. There is something for
everybody here, from training
schools to classical and artificial
climbing areas.
The Pea Rubia area of Quesada, a mountain village which is the
gateway to the largest protected
natural area in Spain (the Cazorla,
Segura and Las Villas natural park),
is a particular favourite with serious rock climbers.
Jdar is another place in Jan province where you can go rock climbing. There is a training school there, so visitors can enjoy an experience which is not difficult but is exhilarating. There are also some magnificent views to be enjoyed - and
photographed - at the same time.
In fact, the Andalusian countryside in autumn is almost begging to
be photographed. For example, the
and historical monuments of Andaluca; or walked through the Carrera del Darro, a cluster of narrow
streets which will remind you of A
Thousand and One Nights. The temperature at this time of year, which
ranges from 15 to 20C, makes this
city even more ideal to visit.
The same can be said of the
Atlantic coast, in the province of
Cadiz, which is home to the Baha
de Cadiz Natural Park. This area is
highly recommended for photography enthusiasts and those who
love the nature and history of Andaluca. Although there are busy
towns in this region, some areas
have been preserved almost intact,
including the Marismas de Sancti
Petri marshes and El Trocadero island, both of which are classified
as natural beauty spots.
Around them some interesting
Phoenician and Roman remains
have been found, such as the Temple of Hercules on Sancti Petri island, and the old port at Cao del
Trocadero, which was linked to trade with the Indies.
There are some easy walking routes through the famous Valle de los Pedroches. :: ALFONSO CANTERO

Beard tongue Penstemons

Penstemons provide vibrant colour throughout the
autumn and winter in the mild climate of the Costa de Sol
Penstemons belong to a large genus of plants native to the US and
East Asia. The blooms form on
sturdy stems and are tube shaped
with a long prominent filament
that sticks out of the mouth of
the flower. This is possibly why
their common name is Beard

Tongue.
Most Penstemon species are
evergreen perennials but some
form shrubs up to three metres
high. They grow in a wide range
of habitats, from arid deserts to

forests and alpine regions. In the

US Penstemons are often used in
xeriscaping as many species are
heat and drought tolerant.
The Penstemons became popular in Europe in the nineteenth
century and as a result, a huge
number of hybrids were created.
Unfortunately many of these hybrids are no longer in existence today although
there are still plenty
to choose from.

In cold areas it is
advisable to leave the
top growth and only
cut it back when the new
shoots start to appear in the
spring. In other areas they can be
cut back to about 10cm above
ground level. If they are not cut
back they tend to become woody
and produce fewer flowers.
Propagation is by cuttings in
late summer. The cuttings should
be pushed into compost around
the edge of a pot and placed in a
sheltered position or cold frame.
Collected seed is unlikely to be
true to the parent as they hybridise very easily.
The best time to plant Penstemons is in the spring although
garden centres will have them in
now as many are in flower. They
prefer a sunny position and relatively infertile soils. If the soil is
too rich, penstemons tend to produce lots of lush foliage and very
few blooms. Dead heading will
prolong the flowering season unless a frost catches them first.

GARDENING HINTS FOR OCTOBER
Late flowering chrysanthemums

There seems to be a chrysanthemum for every season and
autumn is no exception. The
late flowering chrysanthemums are a hardy group which
flower from early autumn until the first frost, even through
to spring where the climate is
mild. There are three main
species in this group: the Korean and the rubellum chrysanthemums, both of which
have simple daisy like flowers.
The third member of the
group is the Japanese semi
pompoms, which has semi

double flowers as the name
suggests. They form dense
clumps which need dividing
every three years to promote
flowering and they may need
staking in open positions. The
late flowering chrysanthemums all need lots of sunshine to flower well. Pinching
out the tips of new shoots will
help to keep the clump compact and dead heading will extend the flowering period provided there is no frost.

:: CARMEN ALCARAZ
The Episcopal
Palace
n the heart of Malaga city

stands the Episcopal Palace, a
beautiful building which is
owned by the Diocese of
Malaga and contains the Ars
Malaga museum and art gallery.
This palace has been classified as
a monument and Building of Cultural Interest, and as part of the
Historical Heritage of Spain.
Standing beside the cathedral in
the Plaza del Obispo, it forms part
of one of Malagas loveliest and
most remarkable areas, and has
been used as a location for films
such as The Bridge of San Luis Rey.
This building in the Plaza del

Obispo has been officially
classified as a Monument of
Cultural Interest and part of the
Historical Heritage of Spain
The building
This majestic building, which is a
fine example of palatial architecture of Malaga, makes its location,
the Plaza del Obispo, one of the
most impressive places in the city.
Its strategic position highlights its
close historical, social and spatial
links with the cathedral.
The palace has been built around
a large central patio with arches
and Tuscan columns; it is three storeys high and has some lovely balconies and windows.
Its faade, which is Baroque in
style, has a large balcony above the
entrance. The pillars and columns
are elegantly finished, and shields
are displayed over the door. Crowning the composition is a niche,
framed between garlanded pillars,
which contains an image of the
Virgen de las Angustias. The statue
is the work of Fernando Ortiz.
With the opening of the Ars
Malaga museum, a new section of
the Episcopal Palace was made
available to the public; the socalled private garden could not be
visited previously but now forms
part of the tour. It is the most recent part of the palace, having
been built in the second half of the
18th century, and it was probably
the work of famous architect Jos
Martn de Aldehuela, who was
commissioned to finish the Episcopal Palace which had been started
by Antonio Ramos.
The collections
Inside the Episcopal Palace you
will find Ars Malaga, an art gallery
which belongs to the Bishopric of

Alonso family to the

Diocese of Malaga.
At Ars Malaga you can
enjoy the Huellas exhibition of paintings, sculptures,
gold and silver work, embroidery and documents about the
heritage of the Church of Malaga
from the 15th century to the present day. The items range from cathedral-like sumptuousness to
more modest offerings from parish
churches, closed orders and religious brotherhoods.
Among the most important
works are the Virgen de la Esperanza, an anonymous work
from the 15th century, which has
come from the San Sebastin
Collegiate Church of Antequera;
the 16th century Milagro San
Cosme y San Damin, from the
Episcopal Palaces own collection; and the Santsimo Cristo
Resucitado, which is owned by
the Association of Holy Week
Brotherhoods of Malaga, but
there are also many others.
The exhibition begins

with the 15th and 16th
centuries, and the first vestiges of
Christianity in the Diocese of
Malaga after the Reconquest. The
first room features architecture
and items of worship and devotion; it was here that liturgical
celebrations used to take place.
The second room represents the
iconographic tradition of Christianity, based mainly on the Gospels
and the whole tradition of the writings of the Holy Fathers of Theology, together with popular tradition and other sources such as apocrypha. We then move on to the

Passion
and Death of Jesus Christ,
continuing the two leading threads
of this exhibition, the life of Christ
and the Virgin Mary. Finally, we
come to the chapel of the palace,
which complements the exhibition. This highlights the offices and
traditions which were born alongside Baroque, with a language
which still survives in the form of
customs, festivals and religious
celebrations which have taken
place from the 16th century to the
present day.
Also on display is the Alonso-Arellano collection, which contains
over 200 pieces of African art and
carefully selected works of contemporary art.
The exhibition has been successfully arranged in themed sections
which are clearly differentiated
within the architectural frame of
the episcopal palace. The areas are
divided into the themes of Origin,
where clay and stone predominate;
From idol to divinity, which explores what joins us and what separates us in terms of religious beliefs; The sacred metallurgy, the
forging
of civilisation, which
brings together one of
the finest collections of primitive
coins in the world; and
Axis mundi, the gateway to
creations in lost-wax bronze, a
technique in which the Africans
are indisputably the masters. The
display concludes by introducing
visitors to the vibrant world of African ceremonies, where music and
dance play a central role.
Useful information
The museum is open from Tuesdays to Sundays from 10am to 8pm.
The normal ticket price for the two
exhibitions is 4, but for over-65s,
the disabled, students under 26 and
large families it is just 2. Also, it is
now possible to make a combined
visit to the museum and Malaga cathedral, including the 18th century
north tower, the intermediate terraces of the chapels and one of the
16th century semi-circular towers.
These visitors will climb more than
200 steps to the roof, which is
nearly 50 metres high. From the
domes of the cathedral, there is a
fantastic view over the city. This
combined visit costs 7 for a general ticket, or 5 for those entitled
to a discount.

Stepping out for Marbella 4 Days Walking. :: EUGENIO CINTADO GUERRERO
Walkers help fill hotels

over holiday weekend
:: NIEVES CASTRO
MARBELLA. The Marbella 4 Days
Walking event brought some 2,000
people to the town last weekend,
joining the thousands of tourists
who chose to spend the long holiday weekend on the Costa del Sol.
According to one of the events
organisers, Maria Kupers, around
80 per cent of participants in the
hiking event came from abroad,

the majority of them from Holland.
The remaining 20 per cent were
residents from the province of
Malaga or other parts of Spain. The
walkers spent Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday covering
routes of 20 and 30 kilometres each
in the Marbella area.
Violinist Jess Reina, in the Plaza Uncibay in Malaga. :: SALVADOR SALAS
I have heard some very good,

very interesting street music
:: SUSANA ZAMORA
t may sound like a clich,

especially when somebody
from Malaga says it, but Jess Reina is in no doubt at
all that Malaga is the best city
in the world in which to live.
And, at the age of 28, he has
known a few.
If you hadnt been a violinist...
-Magician.
-Magician?
-Yes, definitely. Ever since I was
really young I have been fascinated by magic. I remember
when I was four, I was in a shoe
shop with my father and somebody there made a handkerchief
disappear. That did it for me. I
havent practised any magic for
a while, but I love it!
-And what is your best trick?
-I cant show you, because it
would make you disappear.
-Oh, really!
-No, no, its true. There is one
that I really like, which is where
you fold a playing card, put it in
the middle of the pack and it appears, folded, up at the top.
-In a home where your partner
(Anna Nilsen, originally from
Norway) is also a violinist, who
marks the rhythm of life?
-Im not just being diplomatic,
but we tend to take turns. Im
very spontaneous and I deal
with things as they happen; but
Anna is what the Americans call
a Type A person, who likes to
plan everything.
-You were a child prodigy. Do
you recall ever missing something a normal lad would have?
-I remember getting angry. I
used to spend a lot of time at my
grandmothers house and one
day I was upstairs studying and
I could hear other children running about outside and having
fun. I was fed up that I couldnt
Jess Reina
XW
ho is he? Jess Reina
(Malaga 1986) started to

learn the violin when he was
four years old. Until the age
of eight he trained in Malaga
with violinists Ara Vartanian
and Vincenzo Puma. He later
moved to London and entered The Yehudi Menuhin
School. From there he went
on to the Escuela Superior de
Msica Reina Sofa and after
that to the Indiana University School of Music, to study
with Mauricio Fuks. Finally,
he attended the Manhattan
School of Music in New York,
to study with Patinka Kopec
and Pinchas Zukerman.

hat is he doing now? He

do the same as my friends, but

at the same time I knew that
what I was doing was worth it.
-How does the sound of the
verdiales make you feel?
-Emotional. I remember perfectly
how I felt, the first time I heard
them. It was the same excitement and enthusiasm I used to
feel when I heard my grandfather playing the violin and didnt
want him to stop. I used to imitate him, using two hangers. It
was a sound that I was almost obsessed with and even today, it
fills me with energy.
-What do you like to talk about
when youre not talking about
music?
-When Im with friends we talk
about society today, current af-
fairs and how important it is to

enjoy things.
-You travel a great deal. What
do you miss most when youre
away from Malaga?
-A plate of freshly-caught mussels at the Casa de Guardia and a
glass of sweet wine would put a
smile on my face. That and the
sardines cooked on canes, although I didnt discover how good
they were until I was a teenager.
-You were in New York for ten
years, between the ages of 14
and 24. What do you think of
that city?
-New York has an amazing ability to surprise you. There is always something or somewhere
that leaves you open-mouthed.
-If you could choose, what
would be your ideal holiday?
-If there were a time machine
that could take me back to past
civilisations, I would love that.
I also love nature, and spending
time in the countryside.
-How do you feel about all the
street music there is these days?
-Like the music in concert halls,
some is better than others. I have
heard some very good street musicians and, sometimes, what I
have heard in the street has been
more interesting than some in
the auditorium.
-You helped to set up, and you
run, the Ivan Galamian academy
at the Malaga Interactive Music
Museum; what advice would you
give to young musicians?
-Firstly, you have to know
whether it is something you
really love and, if it is, then I
would say go for it. People often
like playing the instrument but
they dont like studying, but it
is worth being self-disciplined
and hard on yourself, because
those are the children who get
the results.
RESTAURANT

SUR IN ENGLISH
A.J.LINN
CURRY OR
CURRI?
o have to explain, as I
did last week in my
column for the Spanish Diario Sur, the
place that curry occupies in English gastronomic culture, is far
from easy.
How can you explain why a
non-English dish has been
adopted semi-officially as the
countrys most representative
example of its typical cuisine,
making it the only country in
the world to have done so. Its
rather like Denmark claiming
paella as its national dish.
When Londons Gymkhana
restaurant got the National Restaurant Awards top placing last
year, there were unconstructive
comments due to the fact that
Indian restaurants in the UK
are more Pakistani/Bangladeshiinfluenced than the real thing.
However there have always
been top quality Indian restaurants, such as Veraswamy in
Londons Swallow Street, complemented by Gymkhana.
Never mind that they cost more
than a Michelin-starred place, at
least they serve authentic Indian cuisine, something the ten
thousand UK curry houses fail
to do. But then the latters prices
are ridiculously low, even if do
they serve dishes like the megapopular chicken tikka masala
that are unknown on the subcontinent.
And hardest of all, how can
you convince a sceptical winedrinking audience that after a
night spent getting fuzzy on industrial quantities of beer, the
obligatory option is to go for an
Indian? And that the long-suffering waiters have to put up
with inebriated males of varying ages ordering the hottest
curry on the menu with unpredictable results?
On the Coast there are some
excellent Indian restaurants,
starting with the iconic Mumtaz in Puerto Bans. After nearly
half a century it is now officially
the longest-lived restaurant in
the Port, and undoubtedly the
safest bet if you want classic and
authentic Indian cuisine. No
chicken tikka masala here.
And remember if you are preparing Indian food at home (fat
chance, but) it is always better
to use individual spices according to the recipe, rather than
the generic curry powder that
achieves little more than masking all the other flavours with
an overwhelming hotness.
The secret of
preparing a good
cup of coffee
Spains finest baristas
took part in the
national coffee making
competition in the
Palacio de Ferias
:: JUAN SOTO
MALAGA. Nine grammes. Not one
more nor one less. Preparing a good
espresso takes a good technique as
well as top quality coffee.
Barista (coffee maker) Rabi
Aouam, the reigning champion of
Andaluca and runner up of Spain
reveals some of his tricks for preparing a fantastic espresso. Rabi, born
in Morocco but an adopted
malagueo by residence, says that
it is essential to have really good
quality coffee, freshly ground and
an exact weight. Very easy but complicated at the same time.
Rabi works in Bar Flor and was
one of the entrants in the Spanish
Barista Championships which took
place on from 14 to 15 October in
the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos in
Malaga. The contestants had 16 minutes to make four espressos, two

capuccinos, two drinks made with
coffee as their base and two other
coffee and alcohol blends.
Judges then evaluated the skills
shown by each contestant. First prize
was a trip to the coffee plantations
in Colombia.
Around 200 professionals have
taken part in the local and regional
heats of the competition until just
six remained for the final in Malaga.
Prizes were also awarded for the
best espresso, latte and speciality
drink.
This was the tenth edition of the
competition in which Malaga was
chosen to stage the final due to its
reputation for good quality coffee and
it is hoped that competitions such as
this will help to improve service in
the catering industry and will serve
to implement a coffee culture by surprising clients with innovative new
products. The championships were
organised by Forum Caf with backing from Malaga firms Santa Cristina
and Carambuco.

Nine out of ten breast cancer

patients will beat the disease
Early detection of
tumours, medical
advances and molecular
biology are all factors that
have reduced the
mortality rate
:: NGEL ESCALERA
MALAGA. Breast cancer is the most
common type of cancer among
women. Twelve per cent of the female population, will, at some point
in their lives, have a tumour. However, nowadays, with the wide availability of breast scans which can detect tumours early on - key to the recovery of a cancer patient - nine out
of 10 women diagnosed will survive
the illness.
The figure goes up to 98 per cent
for tumours detected early on, in the
first phase of the illness and there
has been an annual decrease of 1.8
per cent in mortality rates among
women over 50 in recent years.
Mammograms can help to diagnose breast cancer between two and
four years earlier than we were able
to before, said Dr Jos Antonio Ortega, Head of Oncology at Malagas
Hospital Quirn, speaking ahead of
the third Oncology Century 21 Forum which took place in Malaga last
Friday.
He went on to say that thanks to
this technology, between 20 and 40
per cent of deaths among women between 50 and 69 years old have been
prevented.
The forum attracted 75 specialists
in the fields of breast and ovarian
cancer, who gathered to debate and
discuss advances in the treatment of
these cancers.
Annually, 800 new cases of breast
cancer are detected in Malaga province alone; in Andaluca 3,780 women
are diagnosed every year, and in Spain
25,215. Although the number of cases
is going up, the good news is that survival rates are too.
According to Dr Ortega, no two
cancers are the same. The illness
manifests itself differently in each
patient and the correct treatment
There is a 98 per cent

survival rate when breast
cancer is detected in
its early stages
must be sought depending on the

type of cancer a person has.
The head of Oncology also pointed
out risk factors. The biggest one, he
said, is age. Tumours are more frequent in women over the age of 50,
although 10 per cent of patients are
under 40.
Other influences include obesity
- overweight women tend to produce more oestrogen - and that puts
them more at risk. Alcohol and tobacco consumption have also both
been linked to breast cancer and genetics are also a factor; women whose
close family members have had cancer also have a higher risk of developing a tumour.
The forum also discussed ovarian
cancer, which is the highest cause of
death among gynecological illnesses
and the second most frequent cancer of the female genital organs after endometrial cancer (which forms
in the lining of the womb). Some
3,300 new cases of ovarian cancer
are diagnosed each year in Spain.
Most cases are detected in women
between the ages of 50 and 70 and
in 75 to 80 per cent of cases the tumour is detected late on in the illness, meaning that treatment is more
complicated.
Marbellas Clnica

free breast
screenings
:: SUR
MARBELLA. To coincide with Breast
Cancer Awareness Day next week,
Marbellas Ochoa clinic is launching
a campaign to encourage early detection of breast cancer.
From the 20 October, the clinic

Appointments, which must be
made in advance, will take place at

A Spanish doctor

MADRID. In the dictionary of life,
which uses the stuff dreams are
made of instead of paper, the phrase
Club foot is followed by the definition To be born in a poor country in the Horn of Africa with a serious deformity of the foot and then
be adopted by a Spanish orthopedic
surgeon.
Next to this is a photo of an Ethiopian boy with huge dark eyes. The
smiling toddler is two years old; his
name is No, and his mother, the
doctor, is Ana. Also in the picture are
Juan Carlos, Nos father, and his big
brother Jorge. There is so much love
in this photo that the dictionary has
no words to describe it.
This is certainly not the first time
that a couple with a child of their
own decide to adopt another with
special needs like No, whom Ana
and Juan Carlos found in an orphanage in Addis Ababa, suffering from
severe malnutrition, with a dreadful skin infection and a club foot.
But there are very few cases in
Spain where a child who cant walk
finds his perfect match: for No, she

is called Ana Corts, a 43-year-old
orthopedic surgeon and a specialist
at the Ramn y Cajal hospital in Madrid. She and her husband Juan Carlos are the parents of eight-year-old
Jorge, but they always wanted to
adopt.
They spent nearly five years waiting for a phone call which never
came, and then they attended a
meeting at which they were told
that they would be able to adopt an
Ethiopian boy with special needs.
He had been born with a congenital deformity, with his foot turned
inwards. The condition is known as
club foot and it affects one baby
in every thousand.
Ana and Juan Carlos didnt have
to think too hard about their decision. We knew that we could handle this, so we said lets do it, says
Ana.
Last December they flew with
Jorge to Ethiopia so that he could
meet his little brother for the first
time. No was living in an orphanage. The doctors there had tried without success to correct his deformity.
They were very willing, but they
didnt have the training and the Ponseti method, which is usual in these
cases, hadnt worked. This treatment,
which is named after its creator, Ignacio Ponseti, a doctor from Mallorca, enables the position of the foot

At the orphanage in Addis Ababa,
Besukefad (which was Nos name
before he came to Spain) dragged
himself along the floor because every
time he tried to take a step he lost
his balance and fell over. That is how
Ana and Juan Carlos saw him for the
first time. He weighed nine kilos
(the same as a baby a few months
old) and his little body was covered
in sores. It was love at first sight.
In August, No arrived in Madrid
with his new family. This period of
adaptation hasnt been a bed of roses.
He has started the Ponseti treatment,
under the supervision of one of Anas
colleagues who is a specialist in orthopedic surgery for children. He is
making extraordinary progress and
should be able to walk by next spring.
Ana, who is on maternity leave,
is delighted with her sons progress.
You have to watch him the whole

Delegates from the Junta had a guided tour this week. :: SUR
The Day Hospital is divided into
three areas for specific treatments,
with 10 beds and 18 ergonomic chairs,
a reception area and waiting room,
nurses room, a room where blood
samples are taken, a clinical research
department, storage, pharmacy, changing rooms and lavatories.
It has an automised queue management system for patients,
which directs them to the correct
area for treatment, blood samples
or consultations.
The treatment room has an in-

Six thousand euros raised for

local girl with cerebral palsy
Residents turned out in

:: EUGENIO CABEZAS.
RINCN DE LA VICTORIA. The
lives of Francisco Escao and Yolanda
Rodrguez, a couple from Rincn de
la Victoria, changed forever in March
2007, when their daughter was 11
months old.
They had started to notice that
their baby wasnt developing at the
same rate as others they knew. It
was then that Celia Escao was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, meaning that she is physically very limited and recognised as being 95 per
cent disabled.
Yolandas pregnancy had complications at six months and she needed
an operation. Nobody told us at any
point that the complications could
have consequences, said Francisco
during a fundraising event in Rincn
de la Victoria last weekend.
In fact, Celias parents have spent
the last eight years fighting for a
better life for their daughter and
have organised charity events, which
include horse riding trips and raffles to raise money.
Anything that occurs to us, because public medical assistance
doesnt cover everything that she
needs, added the girls father.

With the money raised at the
event, which was held in the Town

will be able to pay for two months
of Therasuit therapy, with the Sidi
team in Malaga, which will contribute to improvements in her mobility and speech.
The Sidi team are a group of professionals who work with children
with conditions such as cerebral
palsy and autism.

Celia is a pupil at the Virgen de la
Candelaria de Benagalbn primary
school. She is a very happy, cheerful girl who has a family that adores
her and the town always turns out
for her. She is really affectionate,
said her mother.

MALAGA. Spain secured their
place in the upcoming European
Championships thanks to a comfortable victory against Luxembourg last Friday.
Vicente del Bosques side recorded a 4-0 home win thanks to
doubles from both Santi Cazorla
and Paco Alccer in a match which
proved quite costly as both lvaro
Morata and David Silva were sidelined with injury.
The win gave the coach the opportunity to sample other talents

The former Malaga

midfielder released a
much-anticipated
statement to explain his
side of the events over
the last year
:: PEDRO LUIS ALONSO
MALAGA. In the end, it wasnt the
press conference we were promised,
but rather a statement issued at 7pm
on Sunday. Now Sergi Darder, who
left Malaga for Lyon during the summer, has offered his side of the saga
which has engulfed the Costa club
over the last two years.
First of all, he apologised for not
being able to offer a press conference.
He said: I have been desperate to express myself in person in Malaga but,
unfortunately, obligations to my new
club mean that its impossible to
travel there any time soon.
Of course I knew many weeks ago
that I wouldnt be able to make the

trip, but with the sporting predicament of the team, I didnt want to interfere and distract from the teams
preparations. For that reason, I have
chosen the break in competition to
release this statement, he added.
In his message, he takes on a conciliatory tone, clearly assuming the
blame on his part with humility: I
want to apologise to the Malaga supporters. I understand the bad feeling that my exit has generated.
It was understood that Darder
twice tried to force his exit from the
club. First, at the start of the 2014/15
season when Porto first showed an
interest. The centre midfielder eventually sealed his move to a Champions League team a year later when
Olympique Lyonnais came knocking in August.
I didnt control the terms of my
departure, nor did I know about the
sale of my rights to an investor. I
asked them to let me go because I

like this offer, now not so much. Pack
your bags, youre leaving. Now youre
not. Get your tickets because youre
leaving tomorrow... actually, no. This
evening youre going to the airport...
in the end we decided against it. It
went on and on like this.
Darder admitted that he went so
far as sending Sheikh Al Thani a private message on Twitter, his only
means of contacting him, to ask him
to allow him to leave the club.
A time arrived when I decided
that this instability wasnt good for
me and so I expressed my desire to
leave, he added.
I understand the fans anger. Especially as the announcement coincided with the game at the Camp Nou.
I take some of the blame, but everyone knows that this wasnt all down
to me, concluded the 21 year old.
The club, for its part, responded
the following day with a statement
of its own: Malaga CF wants to clarify, with regard to the public notice
issued yesterday by Sergi Darder,
that we tried to retain the player by
all means, read the statement issued on the clubs official website.
He was insistent and by exercising
all kinds of pressure, unilaterally
took the decision to leave the club,
something he had been carefully
considering for more than a year.
And so, despite two months passing since his transfer, the saga continues and will do little to appease
the supporters who are far from satisfied with either sides take on the
events.
Sheikh Al Thani takes to Twitter once

more to post cryptic messages
The Malaga owner
posted two tweets to the
social media network on
Tuesday and has sparked
intrigue among the fans

owner and used Twitter to vent their
frustrations.
Following an outburst on the site

club was preparing for his arrival.
This did not materialise but this
message is the first clear indication

given by the man himself that he
will be making a visit to the city

another matter entirely but Al Thani
certainly seemed in a better mood,
as he signed off his message with a

Hamilton closes in on third

FORMULA ONE
:: D. SNCHEZ DE CASTRO
Lewis Hamilton finds himself on
the cusp of winning his third Formula One championship after
claiming victory in the Russian
Grand Prix last Sunday. In a race
that saw a major crash in the opening stages and another before the
race was over, Hamilton was
helped to victory by a mechanical
fault to his team mate and championship rivals car, Nico Rosberg.
In order to wrap up the championship, the Brit must finish in
front of both Vettel and Rosberg
in his next race which takes place
in the United States on 25 Octo-
ber. He currently sits on 302 points

for the season.
Meanwhile, it was not quite as
successful for the Spanish drivers
in Formula One this weekend. Despite crashing spectacularly in
qualifying on Saturday, Carlos
Sainz escaped injury and was declared fit to race, although he had
to abandon the race after a fault.
Elsewhere, Fernando Alonso finished in eleventh place just behind his team mate Jenson Button after he continued to struggle
with his McLaren Honda; the
Spaniard now sits in fifteenth overall. With Hamiltons win, Mercedes claimed their second constructors title in as many years.

Unicaja claim victory in the first league game of the season

MALAGA. In the build up to the

first match of the new season, many
fans were asking themselves what
Unicaja side they would see against
UCAM Murcia. Would they be treated to a heroic display similar to the
one produced against Real Madrid
in the semi-finals of the Super Cup?
Or, would they encounter a stuttering Unicaja side, reminiscent of
the team who were frustrated
against Barcelona in the final of the
same competition? The anticipation and mystery of the new season was lifted on Sunday night as
Unicaja won 58-60 away at Murcia.
Yet, despite the victory, the performance was far from perfect.

Officials: Perea, Guirao and Fernndez.

Arena: Palacio de los Deportes de Murcia,
(5,428 spectators).
Solid foundations
Before the match, it had been well
documented that the Unicaja side
had not changed radically over the
summer. As the team with the fewest number of league debutants,
Unicaja have a certain stability
about them this season. And with
this stability, Unicaja have been
able to retain some of their characteristics from last season. One
such quality is their ability to defend, a trait which helped them to
seal the points against Murcia despite the continuing problems in
attack.
After falling 0-6 behind in the
opening stages of the match, Unicaja were brought back into the
game by Kuzminskas, a part of the
Unicaja outfit since 2013, when he
cancelled out Murcias early lead
all by himself (6-6). Giving Unicaja a certain momentum, Jackson, the only debutant in the 15,
registered the sides first threepoint shot, and with it opened a
nine-point lead (11-15). But, with
Hendrixs second fault and the inspired leadership of Cabezas, the
team from Murcia managed to
fight back, finishing the first quarter 15-15. This early tussle for the
lead would prove to be the pattern

of the game.
Unicaja maintained their defensive display throughout the match,
allowing their attackers to get forward. Dani Dez scored the first
points of the second quarter for
MALAGA. In a competition featuring the best 16 basketball teams on

the continent, one can imagine the
ferocity of the competition which
faces Unicaja this season in Europe.
However, Unicajas task has been
Shuffling the pack

After a tight third quarter, Plaza
knew that the last quarter of the
match would be crucial. Realising
this, the Unicaja trainer decided
to introduce Jackson, Markovic and
Kuzminskas in the fourth to try
and sway the game using their
physicality.
In particular, Markovic proved
to be key, contributing to both defence and attack. The number nine
went on to score two points and
earned a foul from Campazzo, an
act which later allowed Vzquez
to score his controversial basket
which won the match. The double
fault, missed by the officials, can
only be put down to the speed at
which the game was being played
in the dying minutes.

Work still to be done

It is true to say that Unicaja have

only game that will not be available to watch will be the match
against Fuenlabrada this Sunday.
However, CSKA Moscow and Maccabi Tel Aviv still await them. These
two teams are giants of European
basketball with far superior financial resources.
At 44 million euros, CSKA can
boast a budget four times larger
than that of their Spanish opponents. Thus, in order to get out of
Group D and reach the second
round, Unicaja face the unenviable
challenge of overcoming these economic powerhouses of the European basketball league.

In collaboration with

Victoria
Kent
Abogada, fue la
primera mujer del
mundo que
intervino en un
consejo de guerra

by Antonio Garrido, Alberto
Gmez and Alejandro Daz, published in SUR on 6 August 2013.

from the
CIE
aci en Mlaga en
1898. Su padre era
comerciante de zapatos
y su madre, ama de
casa. Para terminar el bachillerato
se fue a Madrid. Asisti a la facultad de Derecho como alumna libre
y tuvo que pagar sus estudios
dando clases particulares. Termin
la carrera en 1924 y al ao siguiente entr en el colegio de abogados de la capital. Al principio no
quera ejercer como abogada, pero
pronto defendi al militar lvaro
de Albornoz en un consejo de
Guerra y consigui su libertad.
Fue la primera mujer de Espaa y
del mundo en intervenir en un
juicio militar.
En 1931 fue elegida diputada
por el PRRS (Partido Republicano
Radical Socialista) y cinco aos
ms tarde, por Izquierda Republicana. Niceto Alcal-Zamora, presidente de la Repblica, la nombr
Directora General de Prisiones.

Durante su cargo, hasta 1934, se
propuso que las crceles espaolas
fueran ms dignas. Lleg a cerrar
115 por no reunir condiciones humanitarias. Intent que los condenados pudieran volver a tener una
vida normal. Permiti la libertad
religiosa, orden que mejorara la
alimentacin, permiti que salieran los presos mayores de 70
aos. Con el lema adis a las cadenas acab con esa antigua tradicin. Con el hierro de las cadenas hizo un monumento a Concepcin Arenal, que en el siglo XIX
tambin intent modernizar las
crceles. Quiz su obra ms conocida es la construccin de la crcel
de mujeres de las Ventas en Madrid. Durante la Guerra Civil
mand la construccin de guarderas y refugios para nios. El gobierno la envi a Pars para que organizara la estancia de los nios
evacuados.
Tras la guerra se
qued en Pars y
durante la ocupacin nazi estuvo escondida en un apartamento. All escribi una novela autobiogrfica
titulada Cuatro aos en Pars.
Luego vivi en Mxico, donde
dio clases en la universidad. Llamada por la ONU a Nueva York, se
instal en aquella ciudad
norteamericana y fund la revista
Ibrica, con la ayuda de Louise
Crane. Esta publicacin dio noticias sobre Espaa a los exiliados
republicanos en Estados Unidos.
Durante este periodo fue ministra
del Gobierno espaol de la Repblica en el exilio. Prometi no
volver a Espaa hasta que no hubiera un rgimen democrtico de
libertades. Lo hizo tras la muerte
de Franco, en 1977, pero regres a
Nueva York, donde muri en 1987.
Uno de los momentos ms importantes de su vida en el parlamente fue su enfrentamiento a Clara Campoamor
por el derecho al voto de la mujeres. Las dos eran mujeres de
izquierda, comprometidas con
los derechos civiles, pero Campoamor pensaba que las mujeres deberan tener derecho al
voto y Kent pensaba lo contrario. Muchos polticos de
izquierda pensaban como ella,
porque la mujer espaola estaba demasiado dominada y
manipulada por la Iglesia y su
voto sera conservador. Estas
fueron sus palabras: Si las mujeres espaolas hubiesen
atravesado ya un periodo universitario y estuvieran liberadas en su conciencia, yo me levantara hoy frente a toda la
Cmara para pedir el voto
femenino. Al final Victoria
Kent sali derrotada porque
muchos polticos de derecha votaron a favor del
derecho de las mujeres.
Por sus reformas en
las prisiones, por su trabajo como abogada en
un juicio militar y como
poltica en el parlamento, Victoria Kent
lleg a ser una persona muy
famosa en los aos 30. En una
cancin popular de aquellos
aos (Pichi), que todava la
gente canta y conoce, se dice
que si alguien quiere conseguir
algo, se lo puedes pedir a Victoria Kent.

BOOK OF THE WEEK
Between Two Fires

David Baird
Author David Baird spent years researching the story for this book.
He has succeeded in uncovering
the truth about the anti-Franco
movement and the repression that
occurred after the civil war and
during Francos dictatorship. Guerrillas continued to fight the Civil
Guard throughout the forties and
often small villages and their residents were caught up in the conflict, betrayals and bloodshed that
frequently went unreported not
only in Spain but also abroad due
to Francos censorship.
