AMERICA SPEAKS MORESPANISH THAN SPAIN
By Spencer Williams
A new report published by theprestigious Instituto Cervantesputs America as the world’s sec-ond largest Spanish-speakingcountry.
Mexico is in fact the largest Spanishspeaking country (121 million) fol-lowed by USA which is estimated tocurrently have 52.6 million Spanishspeakers with 41 million beingnative speakers and another 11.6million speaking it as a second lan-guage, according to the InstitutoCervantes, whose report is titled“Spanish: A Living Language” .
Third on the list is Columbia with 48
million then finally Spain with 46 mil-lion!
The report estimates that there are559 million Spanish speakers world-wide and claims that this makes it the
second most important languageworldwide for trade and commerce,behind English but ahead ofChinese at three, Arabic at fourand French at five.
Mexico may not hold the lead for-ever, as census estimates indicatethe Hispanic population in the U.S.will grow to 132.8 million by 2050.
That rise is dramatic, consideringroughly 34 million people reportedspeaking Spanish at home in theUnited States in 2007.

So it is back to the olden days on 10, 11and 12 July, days in which the streetsof the old town centre of La Nucía aredraped with flags, lined with stalls sell-ing the luxury goods of those days anda varied proces-sion will pass ofm o u n t e b a n k s ,jugglers, min-strels and otherpeople hoping toamuse the motleythrong that willcome to gawp.
What started, tenyears ago, as acommemorat iveevent to celebratethe 300th birthdayof La Nucía has now become an annualshow not to be missed. Nice people, pret-ty baubles and tasty food - a goodly com-bination.
Amata, the regional craft association thatorganises the Market, tries to bring some-thing different each year. This year therewill be two groups of musicians, one of
which will pro-vide the dulcettones to whichan oriental ladywill swirl as shemakes her wayalong the nar-row streets.She also is anexpert in thewhirling dancesof the sufis.People on stilts,nobles and beg-
gars, fools and cripples will pass throughthe crowd. Of course there is a juggler,and of course he does a fire show at night- what do you expect?
The seventy stalls which line the streetswill display an extremely varied assort-ment of cunningly crafted goods - every-thing on the stalls is made by the peopleon the stall and often you can even watchthem make new to replace what they soldthe day before. Nothing is imported, noth-ing comes from small factories or is madeby friends or family elsewhere - that is the
Amata philosophy and they are prettystrict. The stalls will show original leatherhandbags and belts, wooden toys andpuppets, hand-painted tiles and ceramicware, paintings and of course a lot of orig-
inal jewelry in sil-ver, glass, ceram-ics, enamel, cop-per andmacramé. Youcan watch asmith, two book-binders, a stonecutter and a woodcarver at work,and two pottersthreaten to bringalong their wheelto allow people totransform a lump
of clay into a smallvase or bowl. For asmall extra fee theywill provide water towash your handsafterwards.
When comes the timeto rest the eye andfeed the stomach, thevisitor can choosebetween various tav-erns with beer, wine
and roasted meat, a pulperia with juicybits of octopus or an Arabic tea tent withmint-flavoured tea and eastern pastry.Other stalls offer cheese direct from thefarm, or sausages and hams, preservesand jams, fig cakes and honey - all madeto original recipes.
For the children there is an old-fashionedmerry-go-round and various medievaltable games (leave your GamePlayer athome), and a comely lady telling stories

The con men often usepeople of different national-ities including British tomake the illusion morebelievable.A keen eyedholidaymaker got in touchwith us and managed tocapture the con on cam-era, you can see from thepicture that the unfortunate
man in a mobility scooterwas surrounded by thegroup, which can beextremely intimidating,luckily his daughter wasclose by and new what washappening and cause ascene.
The police arrived swiftlyand they managed torecover the 50 euro thatwas scammed from themand a woman was takeninto police custody.

CALPE ROCK CLOSED
BEACH ACCESS FOR THEDISABLED
The Department of Environmenthas closed the access to the sum-mit of the Peñon de Ifach due tosafety concerns. There had beenplans to improve the path up tothe summit but at this momentthose plans have not been put intomotion.
Instead the council has built a stonewall and placed a metal door block-ing the path, so now hikers can onlyenjoy a short stretch of the path up tothe viewpoint of Cavanilles.
The path has been left to deterioratewith the last major investment madeback in 2005, but with an average ofaround 350 walkers a day and lack ofinvestment the route has becomeincreasingly dangerous.
Signs for the route have beenremoved and although there is a walland gate, hikers are bypassing thewarnings and continuing on the hike,families with children have also beenspotted past the gate which at this
time is dangerousas the rocks onthe path are slip-pery, loose aswell as manynesting seagullswhich can beextremely intimi-dating and willsquawk loudly atpeople who gettoo close and flyvery close topassers as they defend their nests.
Calpe's council has demanded the"immediate reopening of access" tothe top of the iconic rock and saidthat "you cannot put doors on amountain." "Can you imagine themsuddenly closing the Puig Campana,the Everest or the Montgó?".The closure of the natural park rightat the start of the tourist season is abad news for Calpe. The Rock is abig draw. No wonder, it is the mostvisited protected area of theCommunity, with about 120,000 visi-
tors annually according to the web-site of the Generalitat.
It was declared a park in 1987, it isjoined to the mainland only by a nar-row isthmus and the sea rises to 332meters. Only it has 45 hectares,making it one of the smallest spacespreserved in Europe.
But also one of the most attractive,by the way rock its rich historical her-itage with valuable archaeologicalsites and unique flora, includingimportant endemic.

Spain's property market is enjoying a foreign currency-driven recovery, new research showed.
The sector, one of the country's worst-performing areassince the real estate crisis of 2008 dragged the Spanisheconomy into the doldrums, has received a new lease oflife recently, thanks to wealthy foreign investors.According to figures released by Spain's registrars soci-ety and published by the Financial Times, the number offoreign nationals who have bought property in theMediterranean country rose 3.2% to 12.2% between2006 and the first quarter of this year.
The impact is particularly evident in the luxury market,with properties in posh areas such as Pedralbes and thePasseig de Gràcia in Barcelona, and Salamanca andChamberí in Madrid, having already recovered 20% ofthe value they lost during the financial crisis, when homeprices tumbled by 35% between 2007 and 2013.“At the high end — €500,000 and up — it’s primarilybeing driven by international demand,” Alex Vaughan,
who in 2005 co-founded Lucas Fox, a Barcelona-basedluxury estate agent, was quoted as saying by the news-paper.
Investors in the Spanish property market come from the
UK, the Middle East, Asia and and the US, as Spain'sreal estate sector has been made even more appealingby the depreciation of the euro.The market has also benefited from the introduction of aso-called "Golden Visa" in 2013, which offers residencyto those prepared to invest at least €500,000 in the prop-erty sector, with 490 visas issued from September 2013to the end of 2014, mainly to buyers hailing from Russia,China and the Middle East.
According to the report, of the €10.2bn invested in com-mercial real estate in Spain last year, half came directlyfrom foreign funds, with a further €2.5bn coming fromSocimis — real estate investments that can be tradedlike shares on financial exchanges — which are heavilybacked by foreign investors.
“With their arrival three years ago, opportunistic interna-tional funds managers made a market at a time when wehad hit bottom,” Patricio Palomar, director of research atCBRE Spain told the Financial Times.

The BEER KELLERin La Nucia has onlyreopened in the lastfew months. Theteam led by Danielleand Lee are thereready to serve you,be it with a drink ontheir large sunny ter-race or with freshfood, which is avail-able all day. Theyhave a pool table there, a dart board, theyhave sky sports ready for you. There isalso regular entertainment arranged.
Not so Sporty? The large interior is laidout to comfortably enjoy and wile awaythe time. The BEER KELLER is a familybar and kids are welcome. It so difficult forparents to enjoy themselves if the kids areunhappy. Danielle’saim is to make theBEER KELLER thebest bar in the area forthe whole family toenjoy. The menu isfresh wholesome fare.Full English breakfastis just €3.00 (a few pen-nies over £2.00 forthose thinking inpounds) or make it even lager for just€5.00 (£3.50). Danielle also caters for thevegetarian breakfast from just €3.00. Thisis incredible value.
Day time snacks are available for thosewho want the light option, as well as themain meal selection, with BBQ chickenbreast at just €4.95 and a host of othermeals all perfectly cooked and presentedfor you. Want something different, wantsomething cooked in a different way? Justask, they are their to try and give you whatyou want and will always do their best foryou. As the old saying goes...”if you do notask you don't get it.” The team want you tobe a regular visitor to the BEER KELLER,that's what they have set out to do andthey achieve it brilliantly.
SUNDAYS - Although I have been away
from the UK now fornearly 10 years, the onething British I still cravefor is the traditionalSunday Lunch. There is,I feel nothing quite likethe smell and taste of theroasted meat with all thetrimmings. I have hadthis in many places overthe years and not alwayshas it come up to
scratch. Not always sure why, but there isoften just something amiss.
If you have tried others you now must goto the BEER KELLER in La Nucia and trytheir Sunday Lunch. It is perfect.Everything is really just the way it shouldbe. There is a choice of all the favouritemeats at the BEER KELLER, Roast Beef,
Roast Pork, Chickenand Stuffing and RoastLamb. The meats arecooked to perfection,the vegetables tastejust as vegetablesshould taste. The gravyis real gravy, not somewet excuse for gravy.
My personal favourite isthe Lamb. Just the smell sets off the tastebuds and perfectly cooked lamb for mejust falls apart as you eat. And don't forgetthe mint sauce. It always reminds me ofhome dinners as a kid. I must admitthough Danielle’s cooking is vastly superi-or to my mothers. This can be finished off,if you still have the space, with delightfuldesserts. These beautifully cooked SUN-DAY LUNCH choices are from just €6.00.This is really superb food and an unbeat-able price. Try anywhere you wish but itwill be very difficult to better the food,service and price you will get at TheBEER KELLER. The BEER KELLER issituated just of the Benidorm to La Nuciaroad CV70 at roundabout 6.

Reviewed 28 June 2015Went here on our last visit. Have never had such an amazingwelcome. Food is amazing and really good value for money. Amust visit next time you are in the old town“Food in the evening is most welcome”
Reviewed 20 June 2015The new evening menu at Bar domino is very good, there arelots of restaurants in the area doing 3 course dinners howeverthis was something different whence you want a lighter meal.Andrew was the perfect host, serving drinks, taking orders andcooking the food with a friendly professional disposition withnot too long a wait. I had the Jumbo hot dog sausage withplenty of chips and it was not like a hot dog you get from avan, this was something extra special and I would defiantly goback and have another. The bar has a nice ambience withsome good English telly on, but not too loud so you can stillchat to your friends.
“New Snack menu proved a MUST”Reviewed 13 June 2015Three of us visited one evening at 1800 - had attended forbreakfast earlier in the week and were impressed so wanted totry the evening chef - Andy.Menu available not as much, however, due to him being alone,he provided exceptional service. Hotdogs and Chicken burgerswere delicious and the chips were moreish. Great to go if only wanting a one course rather the typicalthree courses you can get.Oh, and nice to be able to have ITV / BBC on in the back-ground
“Cheery staff, good service”Reviewed 9 June 2015Visited this bar each day of my recent holiday for breakfast.Excellent service and food.this bar is situated up a little sidestreet, with two or three tables outside, ideal for chilling, eitherafter breakfast, or early evening. I also had one of their cheesetoasties which I'm pleased to say was made with real tastycheese, instead of that plastic tasteless stuff which is readilyavailable in other eateries.The staff are cheery and efficient,and the toilets, along with the bar, are spotless. Just thoughtthis holiday I would try a different place, and wasn't disappoint-ed. Worth a wee visit, even if just for a cheese toastie!!! Oh,and I'm told they have a pretty good quiz of a Monday night,maybe next time then.
“Bello Bello Bello!”Reviewed 27 June 2015We are back at home tired, and so we decided to go in this ital-ian restaurant, the restaurant has a warm atmosphere, the wait-er is a gentleman and the spaghetti with seafood was excellentand too much to eat all !!! the zabaione was very nice. sure wewill come back !!! graci mille.
“Very good Very good Very good!!!”Reviewed 25 June 2015Fabiola was so helpful with us, the spaghetti with seafood werefantastic, also the ravioli has been the best I ever ever eat!!! theWe'll back surely. About the pizza Fabiola said me to go tomoraira at the magia pizzería...
“Food handcrafted with love...”Reviewed 22 June 2015Amazing place, great handmade / delicate food.... authenticpure italian restaurant... Great service and atmosphere. Thebest italian place in the whole area! Highly recommended!
“Real authentic Italian food.”Reviewed 10 June 201This little restaurant is a gem. The pasta was cooked fresh, theingredients were fresh, and the taste was nothing less thanexceptional. Very happy to of found this place. Will travel toCalpe again purely for this restaurante. A+ service too whichwas a very nice change from the rest.
“Amazing Food”Reviewed 6 June 2015Everything was absolutely exceptional. The delicious food andexcellent service create an amazing atmosphere. We will defi-nitely come back!!!
“What a Surprise”Reviewed 17 April 2015Although we have been visiting Calpe for 35 years we hadnever tried this restaurant. The new owners are Italian and verywelcoming. There is an interesting Menu del dia at lunchtimebut it's mainly a la carte for dinner however there is a seafoodspecial which we tried. This was amazing. Starter of plump deli-cious prawns in a brandy sauce. The waitress then rearrangedthe table to make space for a 'big dish'!! A vast mound ofseafood arrived - so much that we could hardly see thespaghetti underneath! Clams, mussels, prawns and half a lob-ster each - it was a feast! This menu includes a desert and abottle of wine and is 32 euros each which sounds expensivebut is really good value! Allow plenty of time for cracking openthe claws though.

“As good as it gets”Reviewed 20 May 2015Hats off to the owner/ operators/ chef's here. Atmosphere isauthentic and charming. Out waiter who was running theupstairs was named Thomas and he was very accommodating.The wine selection was like the food offerings, varied andexcellent w local offerings. Thomas recommended a localChardonnay, unoaked and most excellent. We started w thetruffle and mushroom coquettes. One bite told me this was theplace I had been searching for since arriving in Spain! The sec-ond course of scallop crudo w lime sorbet and micro herbs wasnot only totally sublime but also an incredible presentation.These dishes are not to be missed. Thomas brought us a glassof lovely deep bodied fruity red wine to compliment the babyroast pig w arugula and apple. Another huge hit. We finished wanother croquette of mushroom and truffle followed by the pigcheek which was yet another simply amazing dish. The priceswere incredibly reasonable. The memory of this meal will last alifetime. We greatly appreciate your dedication and passion. Ifyou are ever In The west coast of Florida I would love to showyou what we are doing w wild pig and seafood at our threewaterfront restaurants. I am sorry we are leaving today.Traveling to Granada and then Seville. If you have any recom-mendations for restaurants like yours in these cities we wouldlove to have them.
“Lovely little tapas bar”Reviewed 12 May 2015We like to start here early with tapas then you don't have tobook a table. The dishes are nice. The staff friendly.

The barriers are welcomedby many local residentsand businesses who haveexpressed that it is muchsafer, however there hasbeen a negative response
on social media with manysaying they will causemore accidents than stopthem.

The Latest BUZZ from the Motoring World
A recent review by Clarkson of a theSpanish made SEAT Leon X-Perience,faced an angry backlash from Spaniardsand the Spanish Embassy in London aswell after the former Top Gear hoststerotypically condemmed the car which isone of Spain's biggestexports.Clarkson’s car reviewin the Sunday Times,entitled Does thisSpanish fly? No, it’s ahomage to catatoniawas far from compli-mentry, but thats notwhere it ended, as wellas slating the car andmanufacturer heturned his attention onthe nation of Spainitself.
Clarkson started offwith labelling the newSEAT Leon as a ‘luke-warm paella’, Clarksonsaid he had never driven a SEAT becausehe ‘never saw the point’. (This was actual-ly an inaccurate styatemnt , as pointed outby Twitter user @jorch_garcia."SEAT wasn’t created by one man with avision and a passion for speed, beauty,and power. It was created because at the
time Spain was emerging from its ThirdWorld status and the government didn’twant its people squandering their beadsand their chickens, or whatever currencythey used at the time, on high-valueimports such as cars," Clarkson wrote in
the article.
“Who would chooseto have his carmade bySpaniards, who aregood at fishing offCornwall, when hecould have theexact same thingmade by Germans,who, let’s be frank,are good at makingcars?”In response, eco-nomic minister atLondon’s Spanishe m b a s s y ,Immaculada Lopez,wrote to the
Sunday times. "More than 2m people all over the worldbuy Spanish-made cars every year andthey seem perfectly happy with the prod-uct and strangely impervious to MrClarkson’s thoughtful, balanced andalways entertaining views."

Land Rover Discovery Sport The Discovery Sport is the stylish and lux-urious replacement for the Freelander.However, forget like-for-like comparisons,because the Discovery Sport is milesahead of its predecessor in terms ofrefinement, handling and performance.
Based on the Evoque,the Discovery Sport com-bines a huge interior witha composed ride. Thismeans the DiscoverySport is comfortable andextremely large inside,with a 5+2 seating con-figuration and around1700 litres of maximum boot space.
The '+2' seats are essentially a third rowthat lift out of the boot floor while themoveable second row provides easyaccess. However, while the compact thirdrow of seats are perfect for young chil-dren, adults will only want to use them forthe shortest of journeys.The interior of the Discovery Sport is sim-ilar to the Evoque, with an abundance ofhigh quality, soft-touch materials and awell-crafted dashboard. Standard equip-ment is impressive and all models get cli-mate control for the first two row of seats,along with cruise control, a heated wind-screen and partial leather seats.
The Discovery Sport was launched withthe 2.2-litre SD4 engine but this was
replaced in September 2015 with a new,British-built 2.0-litre four-cylinderIngenium diesel engine.
The four-cylinder Ingenium is a huge stepup from the 2.2 diesel. The TD4, with
150PS, will return129g/km of CO2 andclose to 58mpg accordingto the official figures.
On the road the DiscoverySport feels capable andfun, with plenty of grip inthe corners and plenty oftorque. We'd recommend
the automatic gearbox over the manual,as it's smooth with near seamless gearchanges. The four-wheel drive system isidentical to the one found in the Evoqueand linked to Land Rover's excellentTerrain Response system, which meansthe Discovery Sport is more than capableoff road. In fact, it's better than any of itsrivals when it comes to tackling mud orsnow.
Freelander owners will no doubt baulk atthe upmarket price, with entry-level mod-els costing more than £30,000, while high-spec models will venture deep into£40,000 territory. Yet, even after factoringthe new pricing strategy, the DiscoverySport still has huge appeal, with plenty ofrefinement, sophistication and outstand-ing off-road ability.

TEETH WHITENING - 2ND WEEKTwo weeks ago we wrote about the about desiremany of us have for that "Hollywood Smile".
This week we have asked local Dentist Dr. Canega for hisexpert views on the various processes. How they workand any risks involved.
Bleaching
Bleaching is whitening beyond the natural. Getting abrighter smile though can come at a painful price. If youchoose to use a bleaching product, you should only do soafter consultation with a dentist.
This is especially important for patients with many fillings,crowns, and extremely dark stains. A thorough oralexamination, performed by a licensed dentist, is essentialto determine if bleaching isan appropriate course of treatment.
In addition to tooth sensitivity, ranging from the mild to theextreme, dentists report seeing side effects that includegum irritation, (although we call it "irritation" this, forsome, can also be very painful) bluish enamel, unevenwhiteness, and—if the chemical manages to seep into acracked tooth or an unfilled cavity—painful internal dam-age that can lead to a root canal.
Home bleaching is absolutely not recommended by thevast majority of dentists due to over bleaching which theclient can not control or in contrary not would get the suf-ficient expected whitening effect. Our difficulty as dentistsis we have to pick up the pieces for the clients who haveexperienced these problems.
Laser or Light activated treatment:
There are many professionally applied tooth bleachingproducts used by dentists in practice. These productsuse hydrogen peroxide in concentrations ranging from 25percent to 40 percent and are sometimes used togetherwith a light or laser, which the companies state acceler-ate or activate the whitening process. However, moststudies have reported no additional long term benefit withlight activated systems. Prior to application of profession-
al products, gum tissues are protected either by isolationwith a rubber dam or application of a gel.
Veneers : another option to get a long term desired toothshade. It s this method that t is this method that manywould used to really get the desired effect. A cover,veneer, is placed over the teeth to give the shade a clientwants. Consult with you dentist regarding this method. Orindeed any method.
Remember, although teeth whitening can give desiredresult for some it doesn't mean that this process shouldbe repeated as routine treatment when it needs to keepa bright white smile. All whitening techniques and prod-ucts results at the end by a chemical reaction. The out-come can be quiet relevant and differs individually fromone to another person.) As always you should alwaystake advise from a professional before considering orembarking any of these process.
Dr. Canega has a practice with the latest technology sit-uated in La Nucia just off the CV70 between roundabouts1 and 2.

41PETS CORNER
Pet owners are often surprised to find out that eventheir furry companions can suffer from heat rashes.
If heat rashes are annoying and painful for humans; theyare even more misery-inducing to one’s pets. Indeed; aheat rash on dog or a heat rash on a cat can cause agreat deal of irritation, itching, inflammation and anxiety tothe pet.
Symptoms of heat rash on dogs and heat rash oncats - Heat rashes on dogs and cats mainly appear onthe gentle skin in the abdominal region, on the backside,in the folds of the skin, under the neck and tail or near thepet’s ears. Often, pet owners have mistaken the heat rashon dogs and heat rash on cats to be due to fleas or otherparasitic infestations. However, heat rashes are mainly aresult of Staphylococcus pathogen aggravated by hot andhumid environmental conditions.A heat rash on one’s pet can begin as a minor skin irrita-tion where the dog or cat might scratch frequently; but
very soon it cantransform intoan oozing, redrash that maybe accompa-nied by pimples,boils, scabs anda bad odor.
In case of aheat rash ondogs, the ani-
mal may bite, lick or even chew the site of the rash fre-quently. This can lead to worsening of the condition and,if overlooked, may lead to extensive hair loss or bleedingand open wounds. Furry dogs (or even hairless dogs likethe Chinese Crested that has tufts of hair all over its body)are more prone to heat rashes in the summer months.
Likewise, a heat rash on cats can begin as bumps or redblotches on the skin that may be pus filled or oozing.Apart from these red blotches, cat owners have also
noted signs like dry skin, falling hair, acne or abrasionswhich are some of the other tell-tale signs of heat rash oncats.
Treating heat rash on dogs and heat rash on cats -Before rushing off to buy some over the counter productsfor treating such skin infections on your pet, make sureyou have your pet examined by an experienced vet (or adermatologist).Often, regularvets may not beable to identifysuch conditionsand a dermatol-ogist may bemore experi-enced in recom-mending theright products forhelping treat theheat rash. Heatand humidity arethe main culpritsof heat rash on dogs and heat rash on cats. At the firstsigns of infection, make sure you cool the pet down usinga cold towel dipped in ice cool water. Home remedies fortreating a heat rash on dogs or a heat rash on cats mainlyconsist of application of Calamine lotion or creams con-taining less than 1% hydrocortisone. These can helpreduce swelling and inflammation and bring down theitchiness and redness. Aloe Vera gel (taken directly fromthe plant or in the form of lotions and gels) can also beapplied to the heat rash on dog or heat rash on cat.Hydrocortisone creams must not be used for more thanthree days (or as recommended by the dermatologist)since excessive use of such products can be harmful topets.
Never use any harsh or artificially scented skin creams orperfumes that can cause allergic reactions in the pet andworsen the heat rash. It is important to prevent the animalfrom going out in the sun as sun burn can aggravate thecondition. Do talk to your dermatologist regarding the useof sun screen or other gentle sun protection for the pets.
Preventing heat rashes in pets - There are many greatproducts available in the market today that can helpaddress many of your pet’s skincare concerns in a holisticmanner. Several of these skin and coat formulas areabundant in nourishing ingredients like vitamin E, omega3 fatty acids and other B vitamins. All of these nutrientswork together to stimulate tissue repair and also help cre-ate an oily layer on the animal’s skin to keep it healthy,moisturized and supple. Do talk to your vet or dermatolo-gist regarding supplementing your pet with vitamin C (andother vital nutrients like Biotin etc) to encourage naturalcollagen formulation which, in turn, can help prevent heatrash on dogs and heat rash on cats.
