EDITORIAL
AGENDA - DIARY
Welcome to the November issue of The Resident. This is always a strange time of year, during November we are fi nally saying goodbye to the summer, with the rainy days slowly coming closer together. We are also beginning to gear up for the next big event - Christmas.One of the things I love about Spain is that, unlike Britain where Christmas begins in September and by the time December 25th rolls in most people are heartily sick of the word, Christmas only really begins to get going in December. It will be very interesting to see what happens this year, I expect things can go either of two ways: people will be very cautious and keep spending to a minimum, staying in and enjoying a budget Christmas; or there could be a sod it, let’s enjoy ourselves and damn the consequences, live now, pay later attitude! I know which most local businesses are hoping for.Once again the Over 50s show is rolling into town, when Estepona’s Palacio de Congresos plays host to this event, aimed at the Costa del Sol’s more senior residents. There is a host of exhibitors and activities, and whilst pitched at the older resident, is of interest to everyone. Eric Knowles from the popular UK TV series ‘Antiques Roadshow’ will be on hand to value those hidden treasures. The Over 50s Show takes place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th November.At the end of last month the eyes of the golfi ng world were turned towards San Roque, when Valderrama hosted the fi rst Andalucia Masters tournament. With some of the world’s top golfers competing for a €3 million prize fund, Northern Ireland’s Graeme ‘G Mac’ McDowell triumphed. The Resident was present during the tournament and if you would like to see some photographs of the event, visit our facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheResident.Spain.Getting back to Christmas, don’t forget now is the time to buy your ticket for the Christmas Lottery. You can pick them up at your local lottery shop, but you can also buy them from bars, restaurants, shops, clubs, associations, etc. many of whom are selling ‘decimos’ (tenths) or participaciones (smaller shares) in the 200 euro tickets. Although the draw takes place on the 22nd December tickets are only on sale until 10th December, so make sure you don’t miss out on your share of this year’s €2.3 billion prize fund which includes 195 top prizes of €3 million each.Next month we will be including plenty of information about what to do and where to go during the festive season, and are offering some unbeatable deals for advertisers so make sure you are included in the December issue. Contact us at [email protected] or telephone 952 936 198.So, until next month, goodbye and thanks. Ed.

Bienvenidos a la edición de Noviembre del periódico The Resident. Este siempre es un momento extraño en el año ya que durante el mes de Noviembre fi nalmente le vamos diciendo adiós al verano, con la llegada de los días de lluvia. También nos estamos preparando para el gran evento que es la navidad.Una de las cosas que adoro de España es que, mientras que en Gran Bretaña las Navidades empiezan en el mes de Septiembre y por el 25 de Diciembre la mayoría de las personas ya están cansadas de la palabra “Navidad”, realmente la Navidad empieza en Diciembre. Será interesante ver que pasa este año, espero que las cosas vayan de cualquiera de estas dos maneras: que las personas tengan precaución y gasten lo necesario, permaneciendo en casa y disfrutando del presupuesto navideño; o que digan: “vivamos al día y ya veremos el futuro”, divirtiéndose y no prestando mucha atención a las consecuencias, como se dice en inglés: “Vive ahora y paga más tarde” Sé lo que la mayoría de los negocios locales esperamos. Una vez más tenemos el espectáculo de los más de 50 en el Palacio de Congresos de Estepona, organizado por los residentes mayores de la Costa del Sol. Habrá exhibiciones y actividades, y a pesar de que está dedicado para residentes mayores, es interesante para todo el mundo y de todas las edades. Eric Knowles de la popular serie inglesa televisiva “Antiques Roadshow” estará presente para valorar aquellos tesoros que la gente tenga escondidos. El evento tendrá lugar el sábado 27 y el domingo 28 de Noviembre.A fi nal del mes pasado todos los ojos se concentraron en San Roque, campo de golf Valderrama, con el campeonato mundial de golf y con algunos de los mejores jugadores de golf compitiendo por un premio de 3 millones de euros, triunfando Graeme ‘G Mac’ McDowell. Nuestro periódico The Resident estuvo presente durante todo el torneo y si usted está interesado en ver algunas fotografías que tomamos del evento, pueden visitar nuestra página de facebook en www.facebook.com/TheResident.Spain.Volviendo a las Navidades, no olviden que ahora es la época para comprar su décimo de la lotería de Navidad. Pueden comprarlos en su tienda local de lotería, pero también pueden comprarlos en bares, restaurantes, tiendas, clubs, asociaciones, etc., muchos de los cuales venden décimos o participaciones. Aunque el sorteo se lleve a cabo el día 22 de Diciembre, los décimos sólo se podrán conseguir hasta el 10 de diciembre, así pues, asegúrese participar este año en el premio de 2.3 billones de euros, el cual incluye 195 premios importantes de 3 millones de euros cada uno.El próximo mes incluiremos bastante información sobre qué hacer y dónde ir durante estas fechas navideñas, y aprovecho para decir que estamos ofreciendo ofertas incomparables para aquellas empresas y particulares que quieran anunciarse, así que asegúrese anunciarse en la edición de Diciembre. Contacte en [email protected] o telefonee al número 952 936 198.Así que hasta el próximo mes, adiós y gracias. Ed.

The trip has been subsidised by an EU grant.The Education councillor, Ramón Ramírez, commended the students and staff for having been given this opportunity, not only to visit the EU Parliament but also the cities of Luxembourg, Maastricht, Ghent, Brugge and Aachen.The School’s director, Marián Díaz, pointed
Un grupo de 33 alumnos y siete profesores de la Escuela Ofi cial de Idiomas de San Roque ha partido hoy, miércoles, de viaje para visitar el Parlamento Europeo, en Bruselas, así como otras ciudades, gracias a una subvención concedida por la citada institución comunitaria. El teniente de alcalde delegado de Educación, Ramón Ramírez, acudió a la Alameda para despedirles antes de tomar el autobús que les llevará al aeropuerto de Málaga, donde volverán el domingo.Ramírez felicitó “a los alumnos y a la dirección del centro por haber tenido la suerte de obtener estas becas, porque van a visitar no sólo el Parlamento Europeo, sino también ciudades maravillosas: Luxemburgo, Maastrich, Gante, Brujas, Aquisgrán... De haberlo sabido antes, me habría apuntado -bromeó-. Espero que el viaje sea muy provechoso y quiero dar la enhorabuena a la Escuela Ofi cial de Idiomas por las gestiones que lo han hecho posible”.Por su parte, la directora del centro, Marián Díaz, agradeció “al Parlamento Europeo que haya concedido la subvención que va

a favorecer la realización de esta visita. Se nos ha concedido después de tres años de insistencia por parte del centro, porque según los criterios de estas ayudas tienen prioridad los grupos procedentes de partidos políticos y de asociaciones de prensa, de manera que eso hace más meritorio el que se nos haya otorgado”.Explicó que “entre los alumnos hay miembros de muy diversos colectivos profesionales, y también proceden de todos los municipios del Campo de Gibraltar. También es variada la edad, porque la alumna más joven tiene 15 años y la más veterana 79. El nexo común es la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de idiomas, un tema que interesa al Parlamento Europeo porque cada año el 26 de septiembre celebran el Día Europeo de las Lenguas”. “Para nosotros -fi nalizó- resultará muy interesante ver ‘in situ’ cómo trabajan y se comunican en 22 idiomas. Para nuestros alumnos y para los enseñantes de idiomas, el Parlamento Europeo es un ejemplo de multilingüismo”.
out that this trip is the result of three years correspondence with the EU, and that among the group were members from various municipalities in the Campo de Gibraltar, and from various professions. There is also a wide range of ages with the youngest student being 15 and eldest 79. But the common link across the whole party is the teaching and learning of languages.The group will see at fi rst hand how the European Parliament manages the task of working and communicating in 22 different languages.

San Roque’s transport councillor has denounced the Cadiz provincial authorities for their failure to repair certain sections of the CA-9203 Pinar del Rey road damaged by fl oods last winter.It is almost a year since Melero sent a letter to Francisco González Cabaña, president of the provincial government, requesting urgent repairs to this and other roads in the municipality damaged during last year’s dreadful winter.Melero has criticised “the total neglect by the provincial council” which despite repeated requests has failed to complete these repairs before winter returns.

El Ayuntamiento adjudica el soterramiento de la línea de alta tensión entre La Lobilla y el PolígonoEl Ayuntamiento de Estepona ha adjudicado a la empresa Aditel Auxiliar de la Distribución Eléctrica, S.A., por procedimiento abierto y tramitación urgente, las obras de soterramiento de un tramo de línea eléctrica de alta tensión, 66 KV, S/C, denominada Paraíso-Estepona, entre los apoyos números 69 y 72 del término municipal que discurre entre La Lobilla y la entrada al Polígono Industrial.El proyecto supondrá una inversión de 769.996,79 € más 138.599,42 € de IVA, además de unas mejoras ofertadas por la empresa adjudicataria valoradas en 70.800,00 €, lo que supone un precio total de 979.396,21 € con cargo al Fondo Estatal de Inversión Local para la Dinamización del Empleo y la Sostenibilidad Local 2010.En total, en la zona señalada hay cuatro torres de alta tensión. Según explicó el alcalde, David Valadez, con la eliminación de las torres de electricidad se da respuesta a una petición que los vecinos de la zona de Mar y Sierra, Altos de Estepona y calle Terraza, venían demandado desde hace años, y supondrá, además, la mejora de la circulación y la red viaria de toda la zona, ya que algunas estructuras están situadas en plena calzada, con excesiva proximidad a zonas habitables, tanto de sus apoyos como de sus conductores.
Por su parte, el edil Eduardo Alarcón ha manifestado que las obras consistirán en la eliminación del cableado aéreo, sustituyéndolo por otro equivalente subterráneo. Para ello, previamente será necesaria la ejecución de una canalización específi ca que discurrirá por la zona norte del municipio, ocupando un ámbito que irá de forma simultánea, en un primer tramo, desde la zona próxima a la carretera de Genalguacil hasta el CEIP Santo Tomás, y, en un segundo tramo, desde el centro escolar hasta las proximidades de la Avda.

Queridos Lectores,Este mes les invitamos a un evento muy especial- The Over 50´s Show en el Palacio de Congresos en Estepona, el 27 y 28 de Noviembre.Venid a vernos, venid a descubrir información interesante con respeto a su salud y a su bienestar y también a revisar nuestra oferta especial y nuestros maravillosos servicios. También como una oferta especial para este evento les ofrecemos un 10% de descuento al fi rmar un contrato de miembro con nosotros. Ahora, para nuestro mensaje de salud, en SOS Médicos 24 HS queremos informarle que los científi cos has descubierto que las frutas y las legumbres - y alimentos como el chocolate, vino, café, y té- son famosos para su papel en reducir el riesgo de enfermedades del corazón y cáncer porque contienen sustancias benéfi cas conocidas como polifenoles. Sin embargo, hasta ahora, nadie conocía que la comida rápida comercial y los cereales de granos calientes y fríos también son una maravillosa fuente para estos compuestos. Los polifenoles son un grupo de productos químicos que se encuentran en frutas, legumbres, y otras plantas como los arándanos, las nueces, las olivas, las hojas de té y las uvas. Conocidos como antioxidantes, ellos quitan los radicales
libres del cuerpo. Los radicales libres son productos químicos que tienen el potencial de dañar las células y tejidos del cuerpo. Los polifenoles tienen hasta 10 veces el efecto de antioxidantes que la vitamina C y E. Es un hecho conocido que los alimentos de grano integral son buenos para nosotros pero siempre se pensó que es la fi bra que ellos contienen que nos da el benefi cio saludable. Una taza de palomitas sin sal contiene casi los mismos polifenoles como una manzana y los cereales como granola también son benefi ciosos para el cuerpo. Recientemente, los polifenoles han surgido como potencialmente más importantes. Los productos de grano integral tienen antioxidantes por gramo comparables con las frutas y las legumbres. Entre los snacks, las palomitas tienen más antioxidantes por gramo, pero las “palomitas del cine” son una amenaza para los niños porque contienen demasiada sal; una bolsa grande tiene el doble limite de seguridad diario y puede contribuir a la presión arterial más tarde en la vida. ¡Esperemos que hayáis disfrutado nuestro mensaje de salud y os esperamos en Over 50´s Show!SaludosEl Equipo Médico de SOS Médicos 24HS.
Dear Readers,This month we invite you to a very special event-The Over 50´s Show at the Palacio de Congresos in Estepona, on the 27th and 28th of November.Come and see us, come and fi nd out more interesting information with regards to your health and well being and also check out our special offer on some great services.Also, as a special deal for the event we will give a 10% discount at signing up with us as a member.Now, for our regular health message, we at SOS Médicos 24 HS like to inform you that scientists found out that fruit and vegetables — and foods such as chocolate, wine, coffee, and tea — have become renowned for their role in reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer because they contain the health-giving substances known as polyphenols. Until now, however, no one knew that commercial snack foods and hot and cold whole grain cereals were also a great source for the compounds. Polyphenols are a group of chemicals found in many fruits, vegetables, and other plants, such as berries, walnuts, olives, tea leaves and grapes. Known as antioxidants, they remove free radicals from the body. Free radicals are chemicals that have the potential to cause damage to cells and tissues in the body. Polyphenols have up to 10 times the antioxidant effect as vitamins C and E. It is known that whole grain foods are good for you but it was always thought that it was the fi ber in them that had the health benefi ts. A cup of non salted popcorn contains around as many polyphenols
as an apple and cereals such as granola are also good. Recently, polyphenols emerged as potentially more important. Whole grain products have comparable antioxidants per gram to fruits and vegetables.Among the salty snacks, popcorn has the most antioxidants per gram but the “cinema popcorn” is also a health threat to children as it contained so much salt; a large bag was found to have double the safe daily limit and could contribute to high blood pressure in later life. Hope you enjoyed our health message and we will be waiting you at the Over 50´s Show!Best RegardsThe Medical Team of SOS Médicos 24HS.

Land GrabProperty boundaries have long been the subject of bitter disputes between neighbours and frequently amongst family members. Diffi culties also arise from the fact that many small parcels of land have been segregated from the fi nca matriz (Original estate), agreements were often made between owners using trees and stones as landmarks, as land values were low the majority of owners decided to avoid the expense of having plans drawn up of their individual plots. The result of these practices means that the local catastral plans are not necessarily correct. To add to the confusion often the title deeds were written up declaring less metres to evade taxes. These measures were accepted in the days when land in Spain had a minimal value. Once the prices began to increase refl ected by the real estate boom, proprietors started fencing in what they considered to be their plots, knowingly or not taking a fair proportion of the neighbouring land. This was more common if the affected owners were not permanent residents. All title-holders of villas or plots should have a legal plan drawn up and fence in their property.
Heirs of non residents have been overcharged on inheritance taxes dueAnyone who has inherited property or assets from a non resident in Spain will almost certainly have been treated unfairly, paying a larger share of inheritance tax. There is now the possibility of the benefi ciaries recouping the extra tax paid. There are time limitations though in which to be able to recover the funds.
Spanish mortgages - You may entitled to a refund
Costa Advice BureauSome Spanish banks have been charging excessive interest rates on mortgages. The outcome of this practice may well mean that many borrowers will be entitled to a considerable sum in the form of compensation. Advice bureaus have been inundated with enquires from the general public and this is likely to become headline news for 2011.
Noise PollutionFor years the majority of residents have accepted noise pollution as though it were a feature of life in Spain. This is not the case and each year more laws are passed to protect citizens from this detrimental and antisocial behavior. Anyone who fi nds that they cannot sleep at night for these reasons, have the right to make a formal complaint to the police and to their local town hall if the noise is emitted from a commercial unit. You may be very surprised to learn that you should also conduct conversations in moderate tones.
Rules regarding the new residence document Contrary to the information given to date, the new residence certifi cate does have an expiry date. The document should be renewed within fi ve years from the date of issue. On this matter please remember that you should also renew you information on the local census (pardon) every two years whether or not you are contacted by the town hall.For further information or assistance on any of the above issues, do not hesitate to contact us.

PUERTO DE LA DUQUESA • MANILVA • MALAGADespite surviving fi ve primary cancers, Mavis Schmid never calls herself a sick person. ‘I’m just someone who has been sick,” she says. A person nevertheless who is managing her own life. In her book ‘Living Proof – Surviving Five Primary Cancers’, Mavis takes us to the darkest corners of her soul. But she says, ‘As I hope my cover picture shows, I bring you back to sunshine in the mountains near Casares.’At 69, fi ve different types of tumour have not managed to destroy Mavis’s life and perhaps uniquely, all her operations were carried out without follow-up chemo or radiotherapy. Her new book Living Proof shows both sides of her survival against all odds. Her own inner struggle together with the inside story from the point of view of the eminent surgeons and professors. We read their surgical notes and explanatory texts on the medical story and procedures. Living Proof portrays a terrifying yet inspirational story with few if any parallels. The story of Mavis, supported by her husband Hans, shows an incredible will to live and how to handle problematic situations even in the most devastating moments of repeated cancer diagnosis.‘Amazingly she seems to have emerged mentally stronger from each of these tribulations,’ says Professor Dr. Matthias Beckmann of University Clinic, Erlangen in Germany, one of the fi ve surgeons involved in Mavis’s operations. ‘It must give hope to all those who are confronted by a similar
Mavis - Surviving Five Primary Cancers in Andalucia
challenge – though most people would only experience such an illness once in a lifetime.’Living Proof will be available €12.50 at the 5k Walk in Sabinillas on Saturday 20th November, bookshops on the coast and from the publisher’s website. Prices include a €2 Rudling House donation to Cudeca.

El Quiosco de Manolo
Mi corazón, que sea el núcleo del río, para beber de él la fantasía, la armonía del amor en esos encuentros de la juventud donde las anécdotas ocurrían en épocas pasadas y todos bailábamos al son de una misma música, aunque a muchos no les gustara esa melodía. Manolo, junto a la fuente vieja de la plaza, entraba en nuestras conversaciones. A nosotros, los jóvenes, nos parecía de nuestra edad, que aunque no era un viejo, si era mayor que nosotros, y mis amigos y yo, jugando y hablando con él, pasábamos juntos muchas tardes. En la infancia, teníamos los domingos para paladear el helado, si conseguíamos que nuestros padres nos dieran el sufi ciente dinero y, entusiasmados, creíamos que algún día lograríamos ser los hombres corpulentos y vitales que seducirían a las mujeres más bellas. Manolo era el hombre del quiosco, temperamental, lugarteniente de escolares que marchaba con su canasta y vendía por los alrededores del colegio chucherías: el chupachups, el chicle, las pipas… Hombre vivaz y bromista, rociador de petardos en verbenas. Alentador, entusiasta y jugador de póker los domingos por la tarde, cuando nos reuníamos en su tienda, cada vez más grande, que dejó de ser quiosco para convertirse en suvenir. Pero es la niñez y su quiosco lo que más llega a la memoria, ese doblar la esquina y verlo allí cortando los helados, el cuchillo brillante, cinco duros para el helado grande y de tres sabores, y el que más me gusta a mí el de vainilla. También Manolo le confío al mar sus noches, sus inviernos y sus soledades, detuvo el miedo ante las golondrinas que lo veían pasear con su perro, y el pueblo le sonreía, sabía que su familia estaba allí, que sus sobrinos y su hermana permanecían junto a él. Manolo anduvo por orillas y navegó por mares, tenía voluntad de peregrino y llamó a las amantes de sus puertos imaginarios, cuando atracó en la dársena con su barco de lobo marino. Manolo y mi niñez, Manolo y mi adolescencia, los helados y los polos de nieve, blancos de leche, amarillos de limón, el de naranja, dulce y amargo a la vez, y el polo de fresa, labios que se pintaban las niñas rozando el frío para ser señoritas cortejadas. En la adolescencia, sin pasar nada, es donde pasa todo, quiero decir, un pueblo arranca a hervir cuando se precipita el joven a vivir las vivencias de sus ciudadanos, y Manolo, es uno de los que la memoria no dejará ausente, y como otros tantos, dejan su huella en el enlozado de las calles del pueblo. Nosotros comenzábamos a vivir por aquellos años la democracia anhelada. El pueblo debía aprender a seguir adelante con lo que marcaba la verdad y la justicia para el ascenso, para demostrar al mundo que éramos al fi n

un pueblo libre… Manolo, sus risas, sus bromas. A mí me gastó más de una: una vez mi madre me había encargado ir a comprar, y Manolo me invitó a subir en su seat 600. Yo acepté porque con él iba un amigo mío, y cuando habíamos recorrido dos quilómetros hacia las afueras del pueblo, me hizo bajar y tuve que irme andando hasta mi casa, para colmo, ese día lloviznaba. Cuando llegué, mi madre me preguntó si había ido a comprar a Estepona, que estaba a unos doce quilómetros de mi pueblo. Cómo tener en cuenta esas bromas de Manolo. A él también le gastaban muchas. Tuve un sueño con él. Le prometí en su velatorio que escribiría algo sobre su vida, y como lo prometido es deuda, lo que debo hacer es escribir sobre la vida de mi pueblo, y Manolo es vida de mi pueblo. Ese gato blanco con manchas amarillas y marrones, pulula silencioso y melancólico por las esquinas, también añora el juego en las tardes brillantes de verano, donde los niños esperaban en la puerta del quiosco alcanzar sus golosinas despachadas con vitalidad por Manolo. La energía de él, de todos los que han vivido y siguen viviendo, sencillez del hombre y su quebranto, gota de aliento en el asfalto, una reforma, una transformación, una mañana en la que pienso extender mis manos a cada calle, a cada ciudadano, para que recoja, si quiere, el anecdotario, o mejor, esta colección de versos extendidos en las calles de mi pueblo, de mi mundo. Mi corazón, núcleo en el río, lleva al mar su relato, su poema, para beber de él la fantasía, la armonía del amor en esos encuentros de la juventud donde ocurrían anécdotas y todos bailábamos al son de una misma música, aunque a muchos no les gustara esa melodía. ¡Qué gran respeto nos teníamos!

A Manuel Luna Cuida a tu hijo. Ámalo.Que salte contigo:un juego se tatúa en el airey alimenta canciones:la danza en el salón de las hormigas fugitivas.
Enséñale ese sabor hermoso de la verdad.Muéstrale la realidad tal y como es,pero hazle soñar, imaginar mundos,sirenas, luces...No le engañes nunca;enséñale a ser libre,la libertad en sus manos y en sus pensamientos...
Cuida a tu hijo.Quiérelo tan dentro de ti, pero ámale adentro del mundo,en el universo desenvuelto y neutral.
Enséñale lo que sepas y aprende junto a él.
Ayúdale a escoger lo que es justo,porque en ello, está encerrado el bien.Ayúdale a ser fuerte, a tener valor.Háblale. No le hagas reproches. Ten paciencia con él.

La escritora Antonia J. Corrales nos presenta en el Centro Cultural Padre Manuel, Estepona, el próximo jueves, 25 de noviembre de 2010, a las 19:30 h. su último trabajo titulado “En un Rincón del Alma”.Conocida por obras de corte más cercano al thriller, Antonia J. Corrales regresa a las librerías con una novela que supone un cambio de tercio y también un sorprendente acierto: su novela “En un rincón del alma”.Cambio de tercio porque la autora se adentra con paso seguro en el terreno de la narrativa más intimista y sentimental (que no sentimentaloide o rosa) y un acierto porque la obra borda una historia excepcional que ofrece intensidad y sorpresas (quizás heredada de la parecía de la autora en otros géneros).

If you are buying, selling or maintaining property in Spain, to ensure that you get the best exchange rate, speak to a currency specialist. By doing so you can take advantage of free guidance on the currency markets, making sure you trade at the right time, when the rate is in your favour.
Currency update
To keep you updated with the current market situation, Michael Campbell Acccount Manager a currency expert Moneycorp, gives us an update as to what is currently going on with the euro, and how it can affect people with property in Spain.“As we now are at the end of October, a review shows recent events have conspired against sterling, as did the market. The Bank of England’s Mervyn King said the next decade would be a SOBER one (Savings, Orderly Budgets and Equitable Rebalancing) in contrast to the previous NICE one (Non-Infl ationary Consistent Expansion). In calling for more savings he was at odds with his deputy, Charlie Bean, who said at the beginning of the month that monetary policy was aimed at encouraging consumers to spend, not save.The governor set the tone for the chancellor’s spending review the following day. There was nothing wholly surprising in the statement; most of the important aspects had been leaked to the media in the ongoing effort to manage expectations. But that did not prevent investors becoming downbeat when the chancellor confi rmed the loss of half a million public sector jobs and the purchase of two anti-aircraft carriers. There had also been bad news earlier in the day when the minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting showed that one member had voted for another £50 billion of quantitative easing (QE).UK statistical releases were

Winter fuel allowance
Winter is approaching and, for some, this will mean an increase in heating bills and renewed discussion on Winter Fuel Allowance (WFA).Although the PBHT highlighted the issue of WFA this time last year, WFA is such an important topic for many residents here and, with the Government’s Spending Review recently published, we thought it only right to revisit the topic.The fi rst important point to make is that WFA is not linked to your pension, nor to any tax you pay in the UK. The second is that it is only exportable to Spain if you have previously been eligible to receive it in the UK. This means you must have moved to Spain on or after 5th January 1998 and have been resident in the UK during a qualifying week in September at age 60 or above or from this year attained age 60 by 5th July 2010.Despite much speculation, under the Government’s recent Spending Review, there are no current changes to the rules on WFA. Should any changes be made in the future, we will be sure to update you.If you believe you are eligible for WFA, contact the International Pension Centre on 0044 191 218 7777. If you are not eligible for the benefi t but are in need of assistance, contact social services at your local town hall.
Invoicing at the Costa Del Sol Hospital in Malaga
As part of a pilot project by the Spanish Government, the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella has begun to issue customers with invoices for the treatment received. These are known as ‘facturas sombras’ and are to show customers how much their treatment has cost the health service. If you do receive an invoice following treatment, please do not panic! Providing you are adequately registered for healthcare in Spain, the “factura sombra” is for information only – you do not have to do anything. If the project is deemed a success, more hospitals throughout Spain could soon follow suit.
Voting in Spanish elections
Like you, we believe that registering to vote is important as it allows the voices of British nationals in Spain to be heard at a local level and is important in ensuring that local services take account of the needs of the British community. If you are resident in Spain and wish to vote in the Spanish municipal elections on 22nd May 2011, you must register to vote with your town hall before the end of the year. This means you must be registered on the padrón and have explicitly expressed a wish to vote in municipal elections by signing on the electoral roll

(censo electoral). Once registered, you do not need to re-register.* If you are not yet on the padrón, visit your town hall to get registered. At the same time you can declare that you also wish to vote and get signed onto the electoral roll (Censo Electoral de Residentes Extranjeros)* If you are registered on the padrón but not registered to vote, you should soon receive a letter from the Electoral Census Offi ce. To confi rm you wish to vote, sign the declaration and return it to the local offi ce If you are not sure if you are registered to vote, or whether your address is up to date on the padrón, contact your local town hall.

both sparse and unhelpful. The Confederation of British Industry said orders were down again in October. So were September’s mortgage approvals and retail sales.As far as the euro was concerned, investors saw more of the same; a continuation of the status quo. All of which resulted in more fl uctuation of sterling against the euro - the rate fell to a 7 month low on the 25 of October at €1.12 from a fi gure at the beginning of September of €1.21.Recent news from The USA indicates a further $600 billion going in to prop up their economy and we know when the USA takes action very often the rest of the world follows, what impact this injection will have on exchange rates as yet we do not know.With the current market situation, it is more important than ever to maximise the amount of euros you get for your pounds. It is also important to take advantage of any positive currency fl uctuations. Moneycorp will give you free expert guidance in the currency markets, to ensure that you make your trade at the right time, when the market is in your favour.Don’t forget that currency isn’t just about sending money on the day – there are a number of different contracts and orders you can make to help get the rate you want. For example, did you know that, if you have exchange rates in mind that you would be happy with, you can place a ‘Market Order’? This allows you to set a target and minimum exchange rate which, if achieved, can be transacted automatically – effectively guaranteeing a minimum rate at which your currency will be exchanged.Our currency experts will be able to speak to you in more detail about a foreign exchange package which suits your needs.”Trust Moneycorp to take care of all your money transfers to and from Spain; however small or large.

Una vuelta de 74 golpes, tres sobre el par, ha sido sufi ciente para que Graeme McDowell se proclame vencedor de la primera edición del Andalucía Valderrama Masters, en una jornada en la que el viento ha sido el mayor rival para los jugadores. El campeón del US Open se mete por derecho en el top ten mundial y da un zarpazo a Kaymer en su particular lucha por el número uno de Europa. Miguel Ángel Jiménez, José Mari Olazábal y Sergio García, terminan en el Top tenLa última jornada del Andalucía Valderrama Masters ha vivido una encarnizada lucha entre los irlandeses, Gareth Maybin, Damien McGrane y Graeme McDowell. Maybin parecía descolgarse al comenzar con tres bogeys consecutivos mientras sus dos rivales se mantenían en contienda hasta el hoyo 16 en el que McGrane ha fi rmado un doble bogey que le ha sacado de la pelea, terminando su vuelta con dos
bogeys más.El hoyo 17 de Valderrama ha resultado decisivo una vez más. Maybin llegaba a un golpe de McDowell (-4) y se ha ido al agua, terminando con bogey para salir al 18 a dos golpes de su rival. Los dos han fallado en el último hoyo, pero McDowell tenía margen para ganar, incluso con una vuelta en la que sólo ha fi rmado un birdie por cuatro bogeys.El danés Soren Kjeldsen, último ganador en Valderrama en 2008 y campeón del Open de Andalucía 2009, ha sido uno de los tres únicos jugadores que ha bajado hoy del par. Con sus 69 golpes, se ha encaramado hasta la segunda posición empatado con Gareth Maybin y Damien McGrane. Los otros dos jugadores que hoy le han ganado al campo con menos de 71 golpes son José Mari Olazábal (70) y Joost Luiten (69).
McDowell gana la batalla contra el viento y se lleva el Andalucía Valderrama Masters
McDowell beats the wind to lift the Andalucia Valderrama Masters trophy
Graeme McDowell held off the challenge of Gareth Maybin and Damien McGrane to claim a battling victory at the Andalucia Valderrama Masters in Sotogrande.On a day where strong winds made low scoring extremely diffi cult, McDowell went round in 74 to fi nish on three under, two ahead of Maybin, McGrane and Denmark’s Soren Kjeldsen.Both Maybin and McGrane had been in contention for victory up until the closing holes, only to see their hopes dashed over Valderrama’s notoriously tough home stretch.McDowell and Maybin had begun the fi nal day with a four-shot advantage at the top of the leaderboard, but it was McGrane who moved into pole position as the tournament moved towards its conclusion.The 39 year old picked up birdies at three,
seven, 11 and 15 to get to fi ve under through 15 holes, with his solitary bogey coming at the ninth.And with McDowell and Maybin slipping back to four and three under respectively, McGrane appeared the most likely to walk away with the €500,000 fi rst prize.Unfortunately, he then faltered, double bogeying 16 before dropping further shots at 17 and 18.And with Maybin also fi nishing bogey-bogey, McDowell could afford to play the fi nal hole with caution, coming up short of the green in two before taking three more shots to seal a wonderful win.A delighted McDowell said: “It’s very special to win here and I draw a lot of comparisons with Pebble Beach”, (where he won the US Open Championship in June).
Welcome to the health, nutrition and fi tness column. This month Personal Trainer JoJo France and Nutritional Therapist Claudia Norris are looking into weight loss.1 in 4 people are obese and this number is escalating. Many illnesses offer no cure, but with the right fi tness and food, obesity can be a thing of the past.
The Personal Trainer
CircuitsOver the last few months, we have looked at the different types of exercises that help keep our body in shape. In my opinion, a circuit style workout is one of the best all rounder for losing fat and increasing lean muscle.The idea is to show you 10 exercises over the next couple of months, so by the New Year you will have a full circuit workout to do.The workout works well in a gym but can even be done a home; all you need is a chair and a skipping rope and a timer.The aim is to do each of the 10 exercises for 45 seconds, then 30 seconds and if can manage it 20 seconds.You may not manage this on the fi rst couple of attempts, that’s ok, take a very quick rest when you need to then carry on …after each exercise take a 10 second rest, after each round of 10 rest for 60 seconds.
Warm up.Take a walk, use the stairs, walk around your urbanization anything so that you feel you need to remove a layer of clothing.

Start with feet hip width apart, now bend at the hip (as if you were about to sit on the loo) go as deep as the back of your knees. Now stand up and repeat, start slow but build up the speed, your legs should feel warm after around 30 seconds and by 45 seconds you may feel some discomfort, that’s ok.
Skipping - works everything, legs, arms and heart
Harder than it looks, swing the rope with your arms, now jump over the rope and repeat…try to land on the feet not the toes. .Aim to get each jump faster
Press ups - great for chest and arms
You may wish to start with the ‘knee’ version of this, where you get on all fours, arms just wider than the shoulder, with bum and hips down, now lower the chest to the fl oor and from the bottom press back up. Pull the tummy muscles in when you press up.The full version is on your feet with legs together, bend arms, chest down now push up from the bottom…This is harder but you will achieve much better results, faster.Remember to warm up and cool down and to stretch out all your muscles after a workout, drink plenty of fl uids, if you are new to exercise check with your GP before starting any new program.

The Nutritional Therapist Let your calories follow the path of the sunRecently, the clocks have gone back and the mornings are less dark as we struggle out of our cosy beds. Now is the time we become more conscious of the rising and setting of the sun and this has reminded me of one of my weight management rules of thumb: “Let your calories follow the path of the sun”.This simply means that as the sun rises during the day so should your calorifi c intake up to 1pm to 2pm. At this point the sun starts to set for the day and so our calorifi c intake should set as well. I use this quirky comment to help remind me that all too often we end up rushing a mouse’s breakfast and then eat our largest meal at the end of the day. What I recommend to clients, particularly those wanting to lose weight, is to consume 80% of your calories by 4pm.Your metabolism starts to slow down over the day and the food we eat closer to bed time is more likely to become fat for tomorrow rather than energy for today. So I try to focus on making sure that within an hour of waking I eat breakfast; a good and healthy one, full of protein and low on refi ned sugar. Often I have eggs with wheat-free bread and / or a nutty oat muesli (which I make myself -email me for the recipe).Watching the sun rise in the morning helps remind me to make sure I have a healthy breakfast and lunch and a smaller dinner. So, remember that although it is now a little lighter in the mornings, it doesn’t mean that your breakfast should be any lighter or less healthy.
