Spain’s biggest-ever anticorruption operation led to
a shock arrest this week.
Isabel Pantoja, legendary
flamenco singer and wife
of wronged former mayor
Julián Muñoz, was arrested
on Wednesday night at her
Marbella home.
Witnesses say she had not
been handcuffed but wore
dark glasses and her hair
pinned up when she was
seen leaving her villa on
the La Pera urbanisation at
around 23.00 hrs.
After spending the night
in a cell, she was granted
bail by a Marbella court
on Thursday to the tune of
90,000 euros.
Having publicly stated she
would stand by her man after
Muñoz’s arrest in July last
year, further investigations
into the infamous Operación
Malaya revealed Pantoja’s
possible involvement.
Her husband’s broker, Fernando de Salinas, was also
taken into custody on Wednesday.
National Police and the
anti-corruption
prosecution service began to investigate the Malaya case in
November 2005. Numerous
illicit activities related to
property development, including money-laundering,
bribery, embezzlement of
public funds and powerdealing, were uncovered.
In March 2005, when Spain’s
largest money-laundering
network was broken up, a
number of telephone conversations were intercepted
putting police on the trail
of a massive property scam
on the Costa del Sol.
Marbella city council lost
its decision-making powers
concerning building development when the alleged
corruption came to light.
A huge police swoop in March 2006 in Marbella, Málaga, Huelva, Cádiz, Madrid,
Murcia and Los Alcázares
on the Mar Menor led to 29
arrests and assets worth
2,600 million euros seized.
Amongst the goods confiscated were firearms, vehicles, computers, lockable
safes, a helicopter, various
valuable works of art including an original Joan Miró
painting, a herd of bulls
and a horse together with
millions of euros in cash.
The detainees included the
mayoress of Marbella, Marisol Yagüe and her secondin-command, Isabel García
Marcos, and former mayor
Julián Muñoz, partner of
Isabel Pantoja.
The latter has been held
without bail since March 1,
2006.
Leader of the corruption
racket, Juan Antonio Roca
– Marbella’s head of development and former townplanner – has been behind
bars since the end of March
last year.
THE MAN WHO BEAT THE MACHINE
Isabel Pantoja
Roca was charged with embezzlement, money-laundering and bribery.
The latest detainee, Sevilla-born Isabel Pantoja, is a
household name in flamenco music and has enjoyed
national acclaim as a singer
since the mid-1970s.
Her lawyer, Ignacio Prieto, had been advised of
Pantoja’s arrest by her family.
He claimed to be ‘surprised’ and ignorant of the
nature of the charges made
against her.
The singer is also facing
charges in Perú for allegedly paying a bribe to the
president’s former legal advisor to speed up the adoption of her baby daughter
in 1996.
Yet Pantoja claims the US
$80,000 handed over to Vladimiro Montesinos, who is
being held in a Lima prison, was to cover lawyers’
and notaries’ fees.
A European long-distance champion challenged Murcia’s new tram to a race last
Sunday – and won.
Jogging alongside the track for 1,900 metres, Juan Carlos Higuero was cheered on
by spectators as he rose to the bizarre challenge. Proving he was more than a match
for the machine, Higuero was first to cross
the finishing line, which was manned by
Antonio Peñalver, runner-up in the decathlon at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.
It is hoped the tram line will cut congestion and pollution in the city.

The baby weighed 7.3

Letizia Ortiz, 34, a former
television news anchorwoman, became Spain’s
crown princess in May
2004 when she married
Felipe in a glittering royal
wedding. She gave birth
to Leonor in October 2005.
The Spanish constitution
now allows a female heir
to the throne only if she
has no brothers. Felipe’s
older sisters, princesses
Elena and Cristina, are
below him in the line of
succession.
The Socialist government
is looking into changing
the constitution to give
female royals the same
right as males to accede to
the throne, guaranteeing
Leonor’s eventual ascension. Prime Minister José
Luis RodríguezZapatero’s
government has said,
however, there is no urgency to make the change until Felipe becomes
king.
The conservative opposition is against the move
because some politicians
suspect Zapatero may
take advantage of such
a change to make it look
like a referendum on the
monarchy.
Spain’s royal family has
only ceremonial functions, but enjoys wide respect.
Three alleged members
of the Basque separatist
group ETA have been

Two men and a woman

The woman is suspected
of involvement in several
terror attacks in northern
Spain over the last five
years.
Spanish police said the
suspects had been preparing to return to Spain
on the Plymouth to
Santander car ferry.
South Yorkshire Police
said: “Three people have
been arrested in Sheffield
on behalf of the Spanish
authorities for alleged terrorism offences in Spain.
“The three European arrest warrants were issued
by the Spanish authorities.
“The three people are suspected of being members

“A 23-year-old man was
arrested in Sheffield this

man and 36-year-old woman were later arrested in
Sheffield.
“Extradition proceedings

Scores injured as groups of youth clash with police
At least 45 people have been injured
in the latest clash between police and
groups of youths in central Madrid.
Unrest in the Spanish capital, continuing for a second night, started
when a group of drunken youths attacked police who had ordered them
to not drink in public.
Police said the men, aged 19 to 25,
offered resistance using bottles,
stones, and metal rods.
Clashes continued for at least two
hours.
Police used sticks, rubber bullets
and tear gas.
A field hospital had to be deployed to
provide medical aid to those injured
in the clashes,” an emergency service spokesman said.
He said police had detained at least
10 people.
VIOLENCE: A man signals in triumph
He based his judgment
on a police report that
said: “We cannot determine that ANV is an instrument of ETA-Batasuna, even though it has
some affinities in terms
of its goals.”
Garzón said in a written judgement that certain elements of the
party seem to show “the
proximity, the influence
and the possible participation of Batasuna
... in the preparation of
electoral lists.”
But he said the party’s
leaders did not have links
with ETA.
The EAE-ANV was one
of the founding elements
of Batasuna in 1978, but
had been inoperative until recently.
Its sudden revival to
put up candidates for
May 27 municipal and regional elections aroused
suspicions that ETA’s political wing was trying to
sneak into the polls.
Batasuna has been
banned as a party since
2003 because of its ties
to ETA, which has been
blamed for over 800
deaths in its four-decade campaign to achieve
independence for the
Basque region in northern Spain and southern
France.
ETA’s political arm
won 10 percent of the
vote in regional elections
in 2001 and 20 percent in
1999 municipal elections.
ETA declared a permanent ceasefire in March
last year that was shattered by a December 30
bombing at Madrid airport.
The bombing wrecked
tentative attempts by
Spain’s socialist government to engage in a
dialogue with ETA on
reaching a political settlement for the region’s
future.

Three die in another fire
in an old people’s home
N
This latest incident brings
the total number of fires in
old people’s homes to six in
just two years
13/09/05 – Carlet – 1 dead
A 91-year-old woman dies at the old people’s home in
Carlet (Valencia) after her room caught fire. The cause
of the fire is still unknown. The 87-year-old who shared
her room suffered second degree burns to 3% of her
body.
Social Welfare Minister,
Alicia de Miguel, orders an
investigation into the causes
of fires
B.Chulvi&S.Walker
People are beginning to
ask themselves whether
old people’s homes are safe
places to live. Last Monday two elderly people, a
100-year-old woman and
a 75-year-old man, died as
a result of a fire in an old
people’s home in Utiel. On
Wednesday, a third person,
an 84-year-old woman, also
died as a result of the same
incident. The care home
concerned, in the Valencia
province town of Utiel, had
followed all the official procedures, according to Social
N
Welfare minister, Alicia de
Miguel. This brings the total number of fires in old
people’s homes to six since
2005, hence the reason opposition parties and social
partners are beginning to
ask themselves whether the
current procedures are in
fact adequate. At the time
of the incident, 11 people
were working in a building
housing 63 elderly people.

illegal in this type of establishment, it appears that

Pons: Moratorium on town
planning would be a disaster
100,000 homes would be left
unbuilt in first year
Pons estimates 300,000 jobs
would be lost
B.Chulvi&S.Walker
The regional government’s
policy on urban development has come under such
heavy fire recently that
the Minister for Land and
Housing, Esteban González
Pons has countered by stirring up fear of an economic slump. The Valencian
economy is heavily dependent on the construction industry, something for which
the PP has been criticised
of late, and González Pons
believes that the moratorium on urban development
that many social groups are
demanding would result
in 100,000 homes not being
built in the first year, between 25,000 and 30,000 of
which would be subsidised
homes. According to the
Minister, a halt in construction would mean the loss of
between 350,000 and 400,000
jobs and a reduction in investment in the region of
between 15 and 20 billion
euros per year. Armed with
these statistics, González
Pons claims that “the application of a moratorium on
urban development in this
region would be damaging
in every sense.”
González Pons made these statements after a meeting with the Secretary of
the Autonomous Region
and the director general
of Housing. Pons pointed
out that “the Valencian
government, by means of
the Ministry for Land and
Housing, has made a huge
effort to promote subsidised housing throughout the
region, and paralysing the
numerous projects currently underway, which include
a substantial quantity of
subsidised housing, would
only put the disadvantaged,
and especially the young,
in an even more precarious situation, if not an impossible one, in terms of
CRUCIAL TALKS: Pons claims that an economic slump may result
getting access to subsidised
housing.”
By this token, González
Pons underlined that “implementing a moratorium
on urban development
would mean not building
some 25,000 to 30,000 subsidised houses, making this
whole initiative complete
madness.”
“In addition, town halls
would lose income in the
region of one to one half billion euros per year. All in
all, the loss of investment in
the building industry and in
local services would equate
to approximately 18% of
the gross national product
(GNP), which would then
have a knock-on effect on
the Valencian economy as a
whole”, concluded the Land
& Housing minister.
Students and teachers both
to strike on May 10th
Classroom opinion is showing clear opposition to the
Valencian government’s education policy. Both teachers and students, independently of each other and for
entirely different reasons,
have called for a strike on
May 10, the day before the
campaign for the May 27
elections officially begins.
Teachers, who have carried
out strike action to demand
pay increases on various
occasions over the past few
months, are not happy with
the salary increase they
have been offered by the
Ministry of Education. The
government has proposed
an increase of 130 euros between now and 2009, which
it says would put the region’s teachers in line with
their colleagues in Cataluña. The majority union,
STEPV, says the increase is
insufficient and the FETEUGT union believes that
time period for the implementation of the increase
is simply too long.
Student proposals
Students are going on
strike for entirely different
reasons. The Federación
Valenciana de Estudiantes
de Enseñanzas Medias
(FAAVEM) has called a
strike in protest at the way
the Education Ministry
completely disregards all
the proposals made by the
Consejo Escolar Valenciano. The consejo is a committee that brings together
students,
parents
and
teachers in a consultative
role. However, what is new
about this student strike is
that the union behind the
action has analysed the last
three decrees presented by
the Ministry of Education
and has drawn up its own
alternatives – no mean feat
considering that the students in question are only
in secondary school or
sixth form.
“The last straw,” explained
Stefan Lukic, president of
FAAVEM, “is that in its Decree on Student Admissions,
the Education Ministry has
not included a single one of
the amendments proposed
by the Consejo Escolar Valenciano, limiting itself to
three grammatical changes.” The student protest
has also been unleashed because of the content of the
‘Citizenship’ subject in the
decree on curriculum and
because of the focus of the
preliminary draft of students’ ‘Rights and Duties’.
With regard to the new
subject of ‘Citizenship’,
FAAVEM believes that the
Ministry’s original proposal has been manipulated
and distorted. It claims that
the Education Ministry is
proposing teaching things
like:
‘National
defence
– a citizen’s duty’, ‘National
Security: how the army and
public order forces work’,
‘Legitimate Violence, Illegitimate Violence’, ‘The
family within the constitutional framework’, ‘Globalisation: engine of development’. Stefan Lukic
considers it “imperative
to turn this proposal on its
head and talk to our students about cooperation,
solidarity, youth involvement, empathy, sharing, the
environment, companionship, etc, etc.”
After many years demanding a reform of the Decree
of Rights and Duties of
students, the preliminary
draft presented by the
Ministry of Education is,
in FAAVEM’s eyes, a step
backwards: “The Ministry
is backing authoritarian
EDUCATION: Both teachers and students are adamant they will strike
rule within schools. This
decree undermines schools’
Committees on Coexistence
reducing them to mere assessors on fellowship topics. There’s nothing about
training teachers on coex-
istence. There’s nothing
about the much-lauded new
profiles for schools. There’s
nothing about the process
of mediation. There’s nothing about special attention
for disruptive pupils. These
are just some examples of
the many ways that education is being seriously undermined and fellowship
amongst students is being
made ever more difficult,”
concluded Stefan Lukic.

Council breaks green land
rules to raise metro cash
The majority party in Valencia City Council, the PP, approved an agreement to reclassify and sell off areas of
farmland in order to finance
underground lines
Aida Gil
For years, locals in the
Benimamet area of Valencia have been asking for
the metro stop to be moved
underground to improve
safety and reduce noise.
Despite government and
opposition agreement concerning the need to redress
the situation by running
the lines underground, it
was the €66m required to finance the work that was the
subject of discussion in the
last full session of the council. With municipal and provincial elections being held
on May 27, this was the PP’s
last chance to take advantage of its majority to push
this initiative through.
The effect of the measure,
supported only by the PP, is
to reclassify 342,000 m2 of
traditional farmland to the
west and east of Benimamet
to enable the construction
of 3000 houses. The sale of
the land to developers will
provide the money required
N
to pay for the tunnel. The
opposition parties, PSOE
and EU, voted against the
move arguing that the work
should not be financed by

Wine cooperative in
Teulada does it again
Alex Elgar &
Samantha Kett
The first-ever cava to be produced in the Marina Alta
and in the Alicante province will be in the shops this
November, according to
Teulada’s cooperative.
Farming co-op Sant Vicent Ferrer de Teulada has
produced Moscatel cava
known as Tegulata, following “strong demand from
local people looking for
new products and different
brands,” according to the
group’s president, Paquita
Oller. Oller stated that the
co-op was finally given the
go-ahead to produce the
cava, after initial legal set
backs from Alicante’s Regulatory Board, who stated
that they area was not authorised to produced cava.
However, the Spanish
ministry of agriculture,
fishing and food finally
allowed production of the
cava, much to the delight of
Teulada farmers. The first
8,000 bottles will go on sale
in Teulada’s co-op shop this
autumn, just in time for
Christmas. Tegulata cava is
produced using traditional
methods, although it based
exclusively on the Moscatel
grape, which is grown in
the region. The wine is left
to ferment for six months in
hermetically sealed bottles
similar to beer bottles, before re-bottled and corked for
a further six months, prior
to the bottle being labelled
ready for selling.
The co-op has also launched a sweet white wine
Agora, which is already
proving so popular that
coop is producing 10,000
bottles this year, double the
amount produced last year.
It will go on sale this September. Teulada’s co-op
exhibited their cava and
Agora wine in Valencia’s
wine fair Feria Vinoélite
the week after Easter, and
expressed their ‘immense
satisfaction’ over the positive response from wine buffs
and experts.

responsible or, directly, by taking part in trade shows, producing
more materials highlighting our touristic resources such as the
excellent ‘Gastronomic Guide’ or the recently-published booklets
about our emblematic ‘Medieval Tower’.
Let us imagine that you carry on as mayor of Alcalalí. Which
public works projects will be given priority?
To restore the old oil mill to convert it into the ‘Oil and Wine Museum’; to restore the old Cooperative building for use as the new
Town Hall; to build a new gymnasium at the sports centre...
To find out more about why this is the case in Alcalalí, the best
thing to do is to ask council leader, mayor José Vicente Marcó
Mestre, who represents the Partido Popular. A musician by trade,
humble, extrovert and one of the friendliest men you could meet,
he is hugely passionate about his town, its traditions, its people
and the surrounding countryside...
If you were asked to choose your most important achievement
since becoming mayor, which would it be?
It is difficult to pick out one project out of all those undertaken.
Each project has responded to a concrete need, and the stated
aim does not always correlate to the size of the investment,
although in other cases it has been possible to bring about
important improvements at very little cost. The task of listing
them all would be, thank God, a long and tiring job, so much so
that we have put together and circulated a ‘Management Report’
that is illustrated with more than seventy photos and diagrams
to show the situation ‘before’ and ‘after’ each of the projects was
carried out.
hese days, when one returns to Alcalalí, in the very heart of
the beautiful Vall de Pop, one is surprised by the changes
that have been taking place. What is doubly surprising is
that it has nothing to do with new residential estates, golf course
developments or imposing tourist complexes, but advances made
in improving existing infrastructure or building new facilities,
which in just two or three years, have significantly enhanced our
quality of life, demonstrating, without the need for flowery or
demagogic electoral promises, that the council is being governed
effectively.
How would you rate your four years as mayor?
Positively. Thanks to the hard work of everyone at the Town Hall,
civil servants and technicians alike, we have managed to achieve
most of the projects required by the public and have made improvements in all areas. This has only been possible with the collaboration of the local population, whose patience and understanding
in light of some of the inconveniences involved in bringing these
changes about, must not be forgotten.
Are you satisfied with the very obvious progress made in Alcalalí?
Any mayor worth his salt can never be satisfied with the achievements made in his town, no matter how good these may be.
It is true that Alcalalí seemed to be lethargic, half asleep, and we
What do you think about European residents, and how are they
viewed?
In Alcalalí, we no longer tend to use the term “European residents” simply because they are just like everyone else and fully
integrated into the community. They have their own councillor
and we have set up an office that is totally dedicated to attend
to their needs. Furthermore, in collaboration with the provincial
council, we lay on Spanish classes, lectures as well as a wide
variety of social activities.
What about tourism...
We have improved customer service and the quality of information provided. This has been achieved by the council department
And what about the new cultural centre that will also serve as
a social centre?
Next week. Yes, yes. This photo taken just a few weeks ago,
which we included in the ‘Management Report’, shows the skeleton of the new ‘Multi-use Centre’ that will open for business very
soon. This project, like the many areas in which we have achieved
improvements, such as the superb restoration of the ‘Medieval
Tower’, are the product of the hard work and dedication of a team
with no other thought in mind but to serve the needs of the local
people who trusted us with their votes last time round. But we
understand that we shall be judged by our deeds rather than our
words, and the same people must now deliver their verdict after
reviewing all the facts.
Are you going to continue?
That is really not my decision, but depends precisely on the
verdict of the townspeople, who are too intelligent not to be able
to distinguish between the achievements of a team capable of
delivering them, and what are simply promises from those with
nothing else to offer.

BLOC is preparing for the next four
years in the town hall
By Cornelia Muller
César Sivera, the current mayor, has worked
hard for his home town. Now he is preparing to
hand over the helm to Joan Miquel Garces, who
is hoping to win the election on May 27 and lead
Jalón into the future.
César Sivera Ripoll is now looking back at 12
years of work in the town hall. He says that they
were hard years working for the people, working
for democracy and helping the village grow into
what it is now.
Twelve years ago he founded the party BLOC in
Jalón and has always been their top candidate.
The first six years he spent in the opposition and
in 2001 he was elected mayor. This is when the
hard work really began, and he has achieved
a lot for his home town. In the interview with
ThinkSPAIN/today he said “We have brought honesty to the people. We defend their interests.”
Six years of achievements
Looking back at his results, the list is long.
Thanks to his efforts Jalón now has a bypass,
the village is quiet and only some local traffic
goes through it.
Next to the bypass the river bed was converted
into usable public land. There is a large car park,
a promenade parallel to the river bed and several lakes and ponds were created to give the
area an attractive look. Part of this project was
also the construction of the new Centro Comercial La Teulera with many shops and bars, which
now is a hub of activity.
For people who like sport, there is good news.
The new centro polideportivo, the municipal
sports centre, is being built next to the bypass.
The construction should be completed in July
of this year. Part of the centre is also a frontón
de pelota, a court for the typical Valencian ball
game, which is similar to squash and is played
outside. In this case, construction has not started yet, but financing and plans are already in
place and the villagers should be able to play
their first match in 2008.
Jalón will have a new centro de salud, a health centre. The beginning of the construction is
imminent; the diggers are going in before the
elections.
Recently the town hall bought the mills Molins
de Ginet with approximately 2,500 m2 of land.
This will be converted into the new Casa de
Cultura, the cultural centre of Jalón, The plans
are prepared, the financing is applied for, but the
subsidies have not arrived yet from Valencia.
The water supply in Jalón is secured. Most of the
drinking water comes from Parcent, daily 1,500
litres of high quality fresh water come down to
the village. Unfortunately, the water pipes are
old and need replacing to maintain the fresh taste. The financing and the plans for the new pipe
work from Parcent via Alcalalí to Jalón has been
approved, but it may still take a few years to be
implemented.
The mountains around Jalón, Llíber and Benissa
are a natural paradise. They have officially been
declared lugar de interés comunitario, which
means protected land, but not a natural park. A
recent study, which was funded by the town hall
of Jalón, has researched the area around the
Bernia mountain and has found more than 100
different animal species, 59 birds and 673 different plants.
The rubbish collection is an important topic, too.
The new ecoparque, the recycling centre will
open next week. The land has already been levelled and fenced and next week the first containers are going to arrive. He will raise awareness
among the people for the urgent need to recycle
to protect the environment and to cope with the
immense volume of rubbish produced.
Promises for the future
After the elections the party wants to bring the
bins underground before the end of the year. The
plans were already discussed within the Mancomunitat Valle del Pop, the association of smaller
villages in the valley, and it was decided that
every village will participate in the programme
for underground bins, but that they will organise
the practical implementation individually. Jalón
has already cancelled the existing contract with
the company for rubbish collection and is looking for a suitable replacement. Although there
may be many expenses at first, long term underground bins reduce the costs drastically.
The party will stand up for nature and its protection. Several areas between Jalón, Benissa and
Bernia will be declared Natural Park or micro reserves for fauna and flora. In particular, they are
talking about the Sierra d’Olta, the Cim de Ferrer,
the Umbria de Bernia, which is the north side of
the mountain, and the ridge of the mountain.
The party will also concentrate on the integration of foreigners into the village. For the first
time there will be a non-Spanish councillor in
the town hall; Christian speaks English, German,
French, Castellano and Valenciano. His official
title will be councillor for tourism, but he will be
a voice for the foreigners in Jalón.
The village is proud to be multicultural. César Sivera said, “the foreigners have contributed a lot
to Jalón’s economy and cultural development.
Thirty years ago, it was very poor and closed. It
was fundamentalist and not much different from
the North of Africa.” Born and bred in Jalón, he
saw the first tourist arrive. As a boy he saw bus
loads of tourists come up from Benidorm, they
sampled the local wine and cuisine and when
they departed, they threw money down for the
children who crowded around the bus. On some
days he brought more money home than his father after a long day’s work in the fields. The foreigners also brought liberal thinking and mutual
understanding to the village.
Now it is time to integrate them fully into the
community, because only those who know each
other can also understand and respect each
other.
Room for some fresh blood
César Sivera said in the interview with thinkSPAIN/today. “I like the American system. A president can only rule the country for two legislative periods, and then he has to go. He makes
space for new younger people, new ideas. They
are breath of fresh air, so that nothing can become stale. This is what democracy is all about.”
The party BLOC is a nationalist Valencian party.
It is progressive, and stands up for local and national interests of the people. It aims to improve
the quality of life for the people. It also aims to
maintain the local character, rights and privileges. Its main goal is to integrate, not to separate
or exclude.
The local Valencian cultural heritage and the
language is protected and preserved, and as a
first step to the integration of the non-Spanish
population, there are free Spanish and Valenciano classes offered by the town hall.
He will still be available for his people, but he’s
stepping away from the front line. He wants to
return to the fields. As an ecological farmer he
produces local wine and wants to dedicate his
time to wine. “The weather until now was good
for the wine, there was enough rain, but now it
needs to stop. Then we will have another good
year, just like last year.”

Two prehistoric caves have

The Franco-Spanish team
working on the Tossal de la
Malladeta cliff-face discovered what would have been
rooms in an Iberian settlement partially dug out of
the rock with the original
floor still in place.
The extreme gradient of
the dig’s surface meant that
original inhabitants would
have had to have built artificial terraces, which have
eroded over the course of
the centuries revealing the
cave floor as it was in Iberian times, says Antonio

What a brick
The second stone of Benidorm’s new cultural centre
was laid last week – nearly
a month after the first was
put in place.
Regional government president Francisco Camps cut
the red tape on the plot designated for the community
centre on March 29, yet no
work has been carried out
on the building since.
Socialist leader and electoral candidate Agustín Navarro went through the motions of laying the second
brick, saying that his party
would do so every week until the elections until the
PP-led regional government
made a start on the works.
The pretence of laying the
second stone was a public
protest against the delay in
starting construction of the
much-needed centre.
No new public buildings
can be opened or first stones
laid within a month of
any elections. Many towns
rushed to do so before the
time limit, to curry favour
with voters.

Valencian Hoteliers Federation that was created
in June 2006, when it was
decided to put off the decision until HOSBEC’s General Assembly, which took
place last Wednesday. The
excuse given this time was
a lack of information about
the potential benefits of
joining and a general lack
of interest in being forced
into taking an urgent decision. “The assembly was
unclear about the advantages and disadvantages, it
N
is not an urgent issue and
that is what is worrying our
members,” explained HOSBEC president, Pere Joan
Devesa, who has requested
that the federation send a
delegation to explain the
benefits of joining and the
main aims of the federation
at an extraordinary general
meeting. Mr Devesa said
that he is hoping that this
meeting will take place before the summer, but seemed
almost disinterested. When
asked to explain how the
regional body operates, Mr
Devesa said that he did not
know. “Our organisation
was formed thirty years
ago and we are very well-established. This is new, and
some of the associate members like the one for Valencia were only created very
recently,” he explained.
Conflict Background
The conflict dates back to the days before 2006
when HOSBEC enjoyed almost total hegemony in an
otherwise poorly organised sector, when they were
the main beneficiaries of any administrative grants.
HOSBEC represents 75% of the Costa Blanca’s hotels and 43% of all the hotels in the region with
68,634 members. The Federation has 50,000 members representing the rest of the hotels across the
region’s three provinces.
HOTELIERS: undecided
Other items on the agenda at the General Assembly
included the presentation
of last year’s accounts:
€1,29 million out of a total budget of €1.73 million
euros was spent on promotion. This year’s budget of
€1.26 million euros, half
of which (€675,000 euros)
will be spent on promotion,
was also approved. According to Mr Devesa, the fact
that this year’s budget is
so much smaller than last
year’s is because a number
of expected contributions
have not yet been received,
but he predicted that the
total will be substantially
revised before the next General Assembly.
The report for 2006 reveals that hotel occupancy
Terra Mítica grabs large slice
of first communion market
Terra Mítica offers a similar first communion banquet menu to the rest of
Benidorm’s
restaurants,
but can also offer a series
of complementary attractions against which it is
impossible to compete: all
the attractions and fun of a
theme park. Taking into account that the price is similar or even lower than average (€38 euros for an adult
and €12 for children with
VAT, theme park entrance
and parking included) it is
easy to imagine the reaction of the rest of the sector.
“We can’t do a thing. We’re
resigned to it because we
can’t even begin to dream
of being able to match it,”
laments Ricardo Verdesoto,
who is the president of the

Bars, Restaurants and Cafeterias, of which there are

attract more tourists and
which was largely funded
with public money, are now
“robbing” from those they
were meant to help in order
to meet their own visitor
number targets. Those most
affected by the campaign
are the hotel owners as it
was traditional to celebrate
this Christian ritual observed by almost all eightyear-olds, in hotel banquet
rooms. There are multiple
incentives to entice parents
to choose the theme park,
including a free family season pass. Children are given
all the sweets they can eat
and there are children’s entertainers laid on. The aim
is to maximise the facilities to the full. This year’s
campaign has been more
aggressive than in previous
years, and as a result twice
as many bookings have
been confirmed, and there
are now no vacancies at all
for May and June.
Visitor numbers rose by
3.6% last year compared
to 2005 partly due to the efforts of the special events

and company dinners.
rates were slightly down
(-0.56%) to 79.62% compared with 2005. There was
a significant decline (-8%)
during the first quarter, although the trend reversed
as the year progressed.
Although foreign tourism
still dominates (58.64%), the
number of visitors from
other parts of Spain “continues to recover ground”,
rising 3% last year and 8%
since 2004. Furthermore,
there were more Spanish
than foreign visitors staying in Benidorm hotels
during the two busiest
months of the year (July
and August). Of more concern, however, would seem
to be the figures relating to
seasonality which suggest
a rising trend.

by public money and which
are run by María José Ortiz, who is the sister of the

the daughter of a former
Spanish government minister, alleges that she has
been “insulted in a chauvinistic way” in the newspaper,
which refers to her as “the
gorgeous Carolina” and to
her supporters as “los Carolinos.” Furthermore, three
female Bloc councillors have
been complaining since the
last elections about the continual molestation and “sexual lynching” to which they
are constantly subjected.

Young people’s lifestyles

Rojas Marcos indicates that
young Spaniards are the
happiest in Europe
Esperanza Blanch
Spanish journalist, Henrique Cymerman, a prominent media correspondent
in the Middle East took
part in the 4th Congress
on Youth Leisure Activities, Dinamia, which took
place in Elche last week.
Cymerman, accompanied
by a Palestinian boy and an
Israeli girl, recounted the
day-to-day lives of young
people living in this area of
conflict. The Spanish journalist placed particular
emphasis on “the unusual
way of life of the young, the
intensity with which they
take things, living every
day as if it were their last.”
With regard to the armed
conflict that is affecting
the area, Cymerman stated
that “peace is possible, but
it has to be created in society. The peace of politicians is not enough; it has
to come from both peoples.”
He went on to say that “we
have to make people feel
and see like people. Mothers from Ramallah and
from Tel Aviv have to understand each other’s hard-
Politics
ships as mothers and not
as enemies.” With regard
to the role of education, he
said that “it is essential for
future generations to live in
peace, knowing about the
other side, because, for example, there are schools in
Palestine that do not show
Israel on their maps.” Cymerman drew attention to
some less well-known traits
of
young Palestinians.
They are the Arabs with the
highest level of university
students, and in his experience is it the Arab territory
where he has had most freedom to work and the most
“democratic”experience.
With regard to Tel Aviv, the
journalist described the
city as the “capital of fun”.
It is one of the cities with
the most western nightlife,
where tourists mix easily
with Israelis until late into
the night.
The prestigious psychiatrist Rojas Marcos opened
the conference with a
speech entitled “Creativity
as medium for a rewarding youth”. He spoke of the
need to foster creativity as
a means to innovate, and to
discover universal truths in
DISCUSSING YOUTH IN EUROPE: Rojas Marcos and Diego Macià, Mayor of Elche
our leisure time. According
to Rojas Marcos, “leisure
forms part of everyone’s
life. Now, we have more leisure time, education is no
longer a privilege, there is
more time to have fun and
to learn. Moreover, youth in
Europe often extends to the
age of thirty, in contrast to
the United States, where
cultural pressure dictates
that young people have to
leave home at 18.” Rojas
Marcos also highlighted
that young Spaniards are
among the world’s “happiest”. According to the study
“Spanish
Youth
2004”,
young Spaniards aged 13
to 20 have much greater
self-esteem than their Italian, French and German
counterparts. Their self-assessment did not include
problems such as the need
to find a steady job or having/spending money.
According to Rojas Marcos, young people “get such
a bad press; it is very easy
to attack young people for
drinking in the street and
other isolated incidents.
But in reality, we lose sight
of the fact that the majority
of young people are kind
and altruistic with enquiring minds and a social conscience.”

A mother reports
an unauthorised
abortion
Alicia Negre
A lamentable event that
took place in Torrevieja last
week has sparked off major public debate. A young
mother, Rocío Furbach, has
lodged an official complaint
against the Doctor Manuel
García Gea local hospital
for performing an abortion
that she supposedly did not
authorise.
Furbach attended the
health centre on 17 April
after her water broke. At
that time, she was approximately 23 weeks pregnant.
Even so, once admitted, the
doctors informed her that
giving birth was a viable
option and that subsequently the newborn would be
transferred to a specialist
care unit.
Just two days later, 19
April, the doctors informed
Furbach that her pregnancy would have to be terminated due to complications.
In her statement, the young
mother maintained that
doctors at this point tried
to convince her that abortion was the best option,
although she insists that
she was not convinced that
this was the right course of
action. Even so, and despite
Furbach’s claim that she
never signed the authorisation, the procedure was
performed.
In addition to this unfortunate event, Furbach
denounced a number of
other situations that later
occurred. The conditions
in which the abortion was
performed, the lack of explanations provided by the
medical staff and the doctors’ refusal to allow her to
see the foetus are some of
the events that appear in
her complaint.
Rocío Furbach, who
maintains that she has
been gravely affected by
the situation, reported the
events to the Civil Guard
on 22 April.
Torrevieja Hospital has
ordered an investigation
into the matter.
It is, in fact, this natural
beauty spot that is centre of
the debate. The treatment
plant extension, opened by
Camps last week, covers a
50,000 m2 tract of land in
the natural ecosystem.
The activation ceremony –
not an inauguration, as these are not permitted during
electoral campaigns – was
attended by the regional
minister of infrastructure,
José Ramón García Antón,
the ministry delegate in
Alicante, José Marín, the
mayor of Torrevieja, Pedro
Hernández, other members
of the Valencia Regional
Government, several Vega
Baja area mayors, (belonging to the PP), and numerous local farmers with
water use rights.
Camps took advantage of
the situation to demand the
right of local residents to
request conveyances. The
President placed particular
emphasis on the river Ebro

Torrevieja water war continues
The war of contradictory
statements that has been
ongoing in Torrevieja in
recent months is making it
difficult for citizens to have
a clear understanding of
what exactly is happening.
The latest chapter in this
fiasco unfolded on 23 April
when the President of the
Valencia Regional Government, Francisco Camps,
visited the town on the occasion of the activation of
the extension of Torrevieja
Sewage Treatment Plant
(EDAR).
The public’s confusion in
this area lies in the fact
that this sizeable extension
to the plant is located close
to where the central government plans to construct a
controversial desalination
plant. The Valencia Regional Government has always
opposed the desalination
plant, citing damage that
the installation could cause
to the La Mata Lagoons and
Torrevieja Nature Reserve.

means that despite being in
the vehicle, the driver does
not drive. This system has
already been successfully
put into practice in diverse
cities ranging from Las Vegas to Lyon.
In Spain, Castellón and Torrevieja are soon to form part
of this alternative transport
project.
At a glance
The Torrevieja treatment
plant extension has cost the
Valencia Regional Government close to €24.5m.
The aim of the installations
is to increase the treatment capacity from 21,000
m3/day to 60,000 m3/day.
They hope to provide water
services for approximately
half a million inhabitants
with this amount.
TORREVIEJA: Francisco Camps at sewage plant opening
licy is a key issue for the
Partido Popular (PP) in
Valencia. Camps indicated that Valencia deserves
this right “having invested
€16bn in water infrastructure”. The President made
reference to the sharp rises
in the river’s water level in
recent times and the quantity of water that, in his
opinion, had been wasted.
The day after the activation, the socialist contingent of the council responded to the PP’s statements.
The Torrevieja PSOE’s
spokesman and candidate
for mayor, Ángel Giménez,
accompanied by the socialist party’s number three
candidate for the Valencia
Regional Government in
Alicante, Ángel Luna, and
provincial councillor Antonio Godoy, held a press
conference on the subject
of infrastructure.
The socialists indicated that
the desalination plant, once
again under construction,
was the only viable option
for the area’s water supply.
The conveyances demanded
by Camps would, according
to the socialists, only be
undertaken as emergency
measures in accordance
with European Union directives.

It is thought to have been

Alicia Negre
An increasing number of
large whales are found dead
along our coasts. They are
normally discovered after
being beached by currents.
Such incidents are considered by some to be a clear
example of the terrible
damage that humans have
produced not only on land,
but also at sea. Still, pilot
whales and bottlenose dolphins are commonly seen
performing in what appears
to be displays of exuberance.
This latest case involves
a long-finned pilot whale,
found a few days ago in
Pilar de la Horadada. The
animal, a male measuring some five metres in
length and weighing 1,500
kilos, was discovered on
the Higuericas beach. It is
thought to have been dead
for between 7 and 10 days.
The long-finned pilot
whale belongs to the dolphin family, and is easily
identifiable by its bulbous
head, particularly characteristic of males. The elongated, but stocky species
can grow to between four
and six metres, depending on sex. Over one third
of the world’s dolphin and
whale species pass through

Torrevieja mayor under
suspicion for corruption
N
Los Verdes show themselves
as a major opposition force
as they fight corruption
Alicia Negre
Based on its commitment to
fighting for various causes,
and its constant scrutinising of what is seen as the
local council’s failures and
irregularities, the environmentalist political party
Los Verdes has become a
major opposition group.
In the last few days, the
subject of the party’s complaint was accepted for consideration by the courts.
The accusation is made
against the local mayor, Pedro A. Hernández Mateo,
and concerns an alleged
case of corruption. The
case involves the awarding
of solid urban waste collection contracts to the Temporary Business Association
Necso-Grupo La Generala
three years ago. The allocation of this contract, which
was supposedly based on
recommendations made in
a report written by a lawyer
linked to the company, may
not have been legal.
As the Los Verdes party
explains, the lawyer who
signed the report, which
states that the Temporary
Business Association Necso-Grupo Generala was the
best candidate for the contract, has previously worked
with both companies on at
least ten occasions.
Three companies, Necso,
Urbaser, and Inusa Ingeniería Urbana, competed in
the service contract tender.
The political party’s spokesperson, José Manuel Dolón,
recalls that during the tender, the mayor suggested
that an external legal and
UNDER SUSPICION: The Mayor of Torrevieja, Pedro Hernández
financial report be commissioned in order to ensure a
fair adjudication process.
According to the environmentalists, the report commissioned by Torrevieja
Council stated that there
was no legal impediment
preventing
Necso-Grupo
Generala from managing
this service. In addition to
criticising irregularities in
the report’s constitution,
Dolón states that the lawyer responsible for writing
the document was linked to
the company competing in
the tender. Los Verdes also
accuse the lawyer of having business relations with
the company involved in
the tender both before and
during the creation of the
report.
Controversy
The complaint lodged by
the Los Verdes political
party is not the only controversy to have hit the
Temporary Business Association Necso-La Generala in recent days. As
if this were not enough,
the company’s employees responsible for urban
waste collection and road
and beach cleaning services are due to begin an
unlimited strike at 11am
on Thursday 3 May. The
workers decided to take
action after negotiations
between the workers’
union and the company
failed to yield results
concerning the collective
agreement signed at the
beginning of the year. It
is thought that the extra
payment provision stipulated in the agreement is
the principal source of
dispute between the two
parties.

additional measures are
listed as institutional commitment, measures for the

Esperanza Blanch
An ambitious and tricky
challenge: to ensure that
Primary Health Care doctors can dedicate ten minutes to each patient by 2010
(depending on the health
centre, it is around five minutes at present). To meet
this challenge, the Ministry
for Health pledges to take
on another 380 family doctors and 106 paediatricians
(a total of 486) over the next
four years. This strengthening of the ranks should
mean each doctor will
have to see no more than
1500 patients (only 1000 for
paediatricians),
whereas
that number reaches 1900
or 2000 in some centres at
present. In recent months,
the Plataforma 10 minutos
campaign has demanded
that Public Administration
services nationwide take a
series of urgent measures
to ensure quality Primary
Care service through the allocation of a larger proportion of the annual budget
for health care from each of

of the family doctors and paediatricians in these autonomous regions joined the strike. Sources in these regions
claim that support was 6-20%. The strike was to sensitise
politicians who would then improve the quality of the

I have just purchased a bright green eyeshadow, as I believe it
suits my hazel eye colour. Should I wear it alone, or should I
use another colour with it? Jane, Calpe
Dear Jane. You’re spot on – greens look fantastic with hazel eyes, but
you need to decide what kind of look you are going for. If you want
a bold party look, apply a thick line of colour along the base of the
eyelids. For more subtlety, brush a taupé colour over the whole socket,
drawn a line of green alongside the base of the eyelid, and blend into
the taupé for a graduated natural look.

How to help relieve a commonly
over-looked complaint
Pregnancy triggers many different changes in a woman’s body.
Although many women love the
feeling of being pregnant, and
report a great improvement in
their sex drives, soaring selfconfidence, heightened senses
and glowing skin, for others, pregnancy has some not so pleasant
side effects. As well as the more
common complaints such as
stretch marks, morning sickness,
fatigue, varicose veins, back pain
and sleeping disorders, one complaint is commonly overlooked – that
of foot pain.
Due to the natural weight gain
during pregnancy, a woman’s
centre of gravity is completely
altered.This causes a new standing position and added pressure
to the knees and feet. Two of the
most common foot problems
experienced by pregnant women
are over-pronation and oedema.
These problems can lead to pain in
the heel, arch or the ball of the foot.
Many women may also experience leg
cramping and varicose veins due to
weight gain. Because of this, it is important for all pregnant women to
learn more about foot health during their pregnancy to help make
this nine-month period more
comfortable for them.
Over-pronation and
oedema, a very
common foot
problem
experienced
during pregnancy
O v e r- p ro n a t i o n ,
also referred to as
flat feet, is caused
when a person’s
arch flattens out
upon weight bearing and their feet
roll inward when
walking.This can create extreme stress
or inflammation on
the plantar fascia, the
fibrous band of tissue
that runs from the heel
to the forefoot.
Over-pronation can make
walking very painful and can
increase strain on the feet, calves
and/or back. The reason many pregnant women suffer from over-pronation
is the added pressure on the body as a result of weight gain. Over-pronation is also very
prominent in people who have flexible, flat feet
or in people who are obese.
Oedema, also referred to as swelling in the feet, normally occurs in the latter part of pregnancy. It results
from the extra blood accumulated during pregnancy.
The enlarging uterus puts pressure on the blood vessels
in the pelvis and legs causing circulation to slow down
and blood to pool in the ankles and feet.The total water
fluid in the body remains the same as before pregnancy,
however it becomes displaced. When feet are swollen,
they can become purplish in colour. Sometimes extra
water is retained during pregnancy, adding to the swell-
ing. If there is swelling in the face or hands, a doctor should
be contacted immediately.
There are effective ways to treat both over-pronation and
oedema during pregnancy.
Over-pronation can be treated with custom made orthotics. Proper fitting footwear is also very important in treating over-pronation. Choose comfortable footwear that
provides extra support and shock absorption. It is important to treat over-pronation for pain relief but also to prevent other foot conditions from developing such as Plantar
Fasciitis, Heel Spurs, Metatarsalgia and/or Bunions.
Oedema in the feet can be minimised by
the following methods:
• Elevate your feet as often as possible. If you have to sit
for long periods of time, place a small stool by your feet
to elevate them.
• Wear proper fitting footwear. Footwear that is too narrow or short will constrict circulation.
• Have your feet measured several times throughout your
pregnancy. They will probably change sizes.
• Wear seamless socks that do not constrict circulation.
• If you are driving for a long period of time, take regular
breaks to stretch your legs to promote circulation.
• Exercise regularly to promote overall health; walking is
the best exercise.
• Drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated. This
helps the body retain less fluid.
• Eat a well-balanced diet and avoid foods high in salt that
can cause water retention.
Swelling is normally similar in both feet. If swelling is not
symmetrical in both feet, this may be a sign of a vascular
problem and a doctor should be contacted immediately. If
any problems persist, consult your doctor.
If you would like more information about foot complaints
during pregnancy, or any other problem associated with
feet, contact chiropractor Rachel Dawes on 679 274 139 or
visit www.thefootdoctor.co.uk
Pregnancy – some facts
• Early pregnancy symptoms usually appear about two weeks
after conception. They can include a missed period, tender
breasts, bloating, nausea, fatigue, increased or decreased appetite, frequent urination and/or lightheadedness
• The main reason behind sleep problems during pregnancy is
the increasing size of the fetus. If you’ve regularly slept on your
stomach or back, you may find it uncomfortable to sleep on
your side, as doctors recommend. Try using pillows under your
abdomen, between your legs, or in the small of your back to
help find a comfortable position.
• According to The Guiness World Records, two mothers have
the honour of having the most children who survived from a
single birth. Four boys and three girls were born to Bobbie McCaughey on November 19, 1997, in Iowa, conceived through
IVF. Her 31 week pregnancy (instead of the usual 40) ended
in a Caesarean section. Just a few months later on January
14, 1998, another set of septuplets were born to Hasna Mohammed Humair in Saudi Arabia.The four boys and three girls,
were born eight weeks premature. Humair was the mother of
six before giving birth to these seven. These children were conceived when the mother was taking fertility drugs to regulate
her menstrual cycle.
• Celebrity pregnancies seems all the rage at the moment.Take
Hollywood Siren Salma Hayek, 40, who is expecting her first
child this summer with 44-year-old super rich French fiancée,
François-Henri Pinault.Yet Salma is refusing to take it easy during pregnancy. According to her Ugly Betty co-star America Ferrea: “She’s working harder now than ever before. You have to
say: ‘Calm down and sit for a second.’” And the former ‘voice
of an angel’ Charlotte Church is expecting her first child with
boyfriend of two years,Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson. And not
one to worry about piling on the pounds before giving birth, the
singer wrote on her blog that she plans to spend ‘a few months
on the sofa’ prior to giving birth.

INTERVIEW
Yaron
Traub
“Dictator-conductors
have become an
endangered species”
Born to parents, Zubin Mehta and Itzhak Perlman. His
father was a composer for the Philarmonic Orchestra
of Israel. His Maestro, Celibidache; his patron of the
arts, Daniel Baremboim, his wife Anja, a violinist with
the Philarmonic Orchestra of Munich. Yaron Traub
was born in Tel Aviv and has submereged his career
in between Israel, North America Europe and AustralBy Soledad de Juan
You have lived in Tel Aviv, Chicago, Munich and now
Valencia. Which part of the world is your home?
My home is always where my heart is, which is directly
connected to people around me. I was very fortunate in
recent years to have my heart come along with me on my
travels. My family, my friends, and my colleagues the musician of the orchestra, they all fill my heart and make me
feel, now more than ever, at home here in Valencia.
Is it as common for other Orchestral Directors to
change residence, learn another language at a tremendous speed, then to re-home his entire family in
order to exersize his new role of Artistic Director?
Actually, nowadays with the ease of quick traveling, many
conductors prefer keeping their family and residence in
one place and spend most of their time at 10 km above
ground in airplanes. I might have done the same had I not
fell in-love with this region, it’s people, the orchestra and
it’s musicians. I see a great cultural and artistic potential
for our organization as a part of the tremendous develop-
ia. Finally returning to his Mediterrenean roots, whilst
permanently relocating his family to Valencia in the
town of Alfaz Del Pi. The Valencian Orchestra, with
approximately 64 years in exsistence, has rejuventated in the hands of Traub, a Director exhuberant in
energy and uncompromisable depth and commitment to his music.
ment of the city of Valencia and the whole region. It was
clear to me that the only way to really take part in this
exciting change would be to live here, learn the language,
“pull up my sleeves” and give all I have.
It has come to my attention where by it has been declared that the title of Director Dictator has dissappeared?
Having read many biographies, not only of artist and
musicians, but also of business managers and world leaders, as well as being influenced by my own education, personality and life experience, I firmly believe that the best
results in areas that concern human effort are achieved
by collaboration, and encouragement. Therefore I’m not
surprised that in a profession that is so sensitive to collective human achievement such as orchestral playing, the
selection of the Darwin process has made sure that the
so called Dictator-conductors have become an endangered
species.
In the book , “The 20th Annivesary of the Palace” it
speaks of the Magic behind the concert at the front
of the Valencian Orchestra. Does the magic exsist?
And further more, do you find it more important
than its technical relation? What do you believe are
the most important elements to complete a great
orchestra?
Mahler, who was a very critical and sharp-tongued man,
was quoted to have said, “There are no bad orchestras,
only bad conductors”. A great orchestra is an ensemble
whose whole is greater than the sum of the its parts. As
music becomes a reality only at the moment of performance, it is maybe a kind of magic that allows music to happen, makes a group of musicians sound together as a great
orchestra, and connects the audience in a very subtle and
rewarding way to the sounds that evolve on the stage.
The Palau (The Palace) is the home of the Valencian
Orchestra for twenty years. In this duration, they
have responded to an open Músical demand, educating the public Músically. How do you determine the
audience of this community?
The audience of the Palau de la Música is a very special
audience. Most of the subscribers come to all of the numerous concerts of the amazingly varied season of the
Palau. At times, visiting four concerts a week makes this
audience very interested and clear about the quality of
the music it is offered, but just as much grateful and ap-

Opera “CONCERTO ITALIANO”
Conducted by Rinaldo Alesandrini
With Claudio Monteverdi in Orfeo
Twenty years ago, Architect, José María
García de Paredes conceived the Palau de
Música, thus giving birth to an audience in
the Valencian Community. It was 25th April
1987 when the doors were first opened to the
masses with a rendition of “El concierto de
Aranjuez”, composed by the grand master
Rodrigo and “La Marcha burlesca” belonging to another great composer Manuel
Palau.
The music was provided by the Valencian
Orchestra, (first formed in 1943) including
a leading impresario of international musicians, artitsts and vocalists in the celebration.
Within twenty years the number of visitors
to the Palau de Música has quadrupled as
has the arrangement of concerts, offering
a diverse range of talents on the scene. It
has become the centre of art and music for
Valencia and serves as a platform for the
fusion of cultural events, paying homage
to a range of styles of music, from Jazz,
Classical, Opera, and Flamenco, to Poetry,
Literature and other forms of art.
preciative for the special moments of Músical inspiration. Comunidad Valenciana is known to be one of the
most Músical regions of Spain. Not only the big cities but
also most villages have one or more wind bands on very
high level, this makes classical music more accessible to
the general public, and automatically boosts its popularity more than in other places in the world.
If there were to be no Palau de la Música or Palau
de les Arts, surely we would have to invent them?
Do you feel that Valencian Society is prepared to
cater for two great auditoriums and perhaps further more, others, in the entire community itself?
I remember just a few years ago there were no cellular
phones, and people all over the world managed to get on
with their lives without them. However, today, after just a
few years this would be unthinkable. I don’t want to discuss the benefits or disadvantage of the mobile phones,
but it is clear that Valencia as the third biggest city in
Spain, and as the capital of such a Músical region with
over a million habitants (including the periphery) deserves an excellent symphony center and first class opera
house. It is now just as unimaginable not to have these
two great institutions, and I’m sure that as the last 20
years proved the importance and necessity of the Palau
de la Música, so will the next 20 prove those of the new
Palau de les Arts.
It is often said that music is a universal language.
Are the Músicans themselves Universal proffesional
musicians?
The Orquesta de Valencia is a unique example of an internationally acclaimed orchestra that consists of 90%
musicians from the same region. This creates a very homogenous temperament and atmosphere in the rehearsals as well as in the way it makes music. Making music is
a very human and subjective activity, and although classical music has some very clear stylistic guidelines built-in
the various historical periods of composition, I feel very
Last month, the Palau celebrated 20 years
of activities. Educational activities directed at childr en and adults, allow children
to take to the stage, re-creating Mozarts
first opera, “Bastian and Bastiana”, which
he composed at the tender age of twelve.
Children as young as three are allowed a
glimse in to the world of classical music,
which often opens the doors of creativity in
young minds.
The building itself is impressive and is
situated in the old river bed of the Turia.
One of its most distiguishing features is
the glass enclosure that looks out over the
gardens in the Turia. From here, one may
view fountains that spout to the beat of the
music in the Palau, also heard throughout
the garden. This month, tickets for classical
and operatic arrangements are available
directly from the Palau or on line at www.

strongly that an orchestra, guided by it’s Music Director
should strive to have an own sound or style in relation to
the scores it performs.
On the subject of languages, how does music and
politics compare?
The art of “convincing” is an indispensable quality for
all musician and politician. Both have to convince their
public, audience, or constituency with their message.
Both political leaders and orchestra conductors know
the power and energy or a convinced group of people. It
was Richard Wagner who said, “I have no desire to be a
king, just let me be a conductor”. I believe that music that
comes from the heart has the miraculous power to reach
and transform the listeners.
The Valencian Orchestra is over 60 years old, El Palau (The Palace) is 20 years old. What is your dream
you are yet to achieve with the Valencian Orchestra?
Where lies its future?
The future of the Palau, the Orquesta de Valencia and
clasical music in general depends primarily on education, and exposure to the different communities and
parts of the society. I am a strong believer in diversifying, a term often used in the business world. As a rule,
variety and flexibility of programming is artistically
good and healthy for all musicians in particular and to
any group or orchestra in general. Seeing the musicians
of the Orquesta de Valencia interacting with the audience of families during a children’s concert recently,
seeing the excitement in the kid’s eyes, their naive but
completely honest appreciation of the event they were
experiencing, and my own son’s last comment right at
the end of the performance – “...and now again from the
beginning”, all this shows me that the future is here and
it’s positive and promising if we know to plant the right
seeds, encourage them to grow and allow them to follow
us on this magical path of classical music.

Recent studies link
HRT and cancer
The Lancet medical journal suggests that women who
use HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) were 20%
more likely to die from ovarian cancer than similar
women who did not take HRT. The theory is that the
hormones help fuel the growth of tumours. It is possible that even more women with small slow-growing tumours that cannot be detected will further raise the risk
percentages in due course.
As a result it is recommended that HRT is taken for the
shortest possible time and in the lowest possible dose
- in which case its benefits significantly outweigh the
risks posed. However, there is also a range of natural
supplements and dietary measures that homeopathic
doctors recommend to counter the effects of the menopause in women. For instance, flaxseed oil, and soya based products taken over a longer period of time can assist many women with symptoms that would otherwise
require a course of HRT. Since these products do not
carry the additional cancer risks associated with HRT
they may prove suitable for women with family histories of breast and ovarian cancers.
The most important factor is to consult with a doctor to
assess your individual case - and to consider whether
your family history, current level of health, normal diet
and peace of mind have all been taken into account.

Take age appropriate exercise / athletics (with advice
from a fitness expert)
Check
your
emotional
health (frequently ignored
by men) i.e anger management, recognizing and expressing emotions, marital
/ relationship problems,
violence, suicidal feelings
Avoid alcohol / tobacco /
drugs
Consider your spiritual,
and sexual life or orientation
Check your sleep habits
Genetic/inherited illness
Ages 21 to 35:
Consider education/career,
work fulfillment / stresses,
fatherhood / family issues,
balancing work / leisure,
stages in marital relationships, accident prevention,
alcohol, tobacco, drugs
Review family medical history with your doctor and
start regular appropriate
check-ups
Diet /hydration /exercise /
sleep are still important
Blood pressure checks
Testicular self-examintion
Prostate Heart /Lungs
Cholesterol / Glucose levels
Ages 36 to 50:
Issues may be dealing with
aging parents, teenage children, female menopause,
marital problems / divorce,
work problems, sense of
mortality diet / hydration
/exercise / sleep
In particular now there
may be male menopause
issues,
such as male pattern baldness or sexual dysfunction.
This by no means covers
every aspect of life and
health / illness.
It is an attempt to encourage you to review your
current condition (habits,
preventative
measures,
knowledge, and medication) and to seek the guidance of your doctor at regular intervals as you move
from one life stage to the
next.
It is also an attempt to encourage you to think of
yourself as a whole being,
and realize that every aspect of living can impinge
well or badly on your
health and hence your enjoyment of life and longevity. In general, a holistic
approach to your health
and lifestyle is best.

Strong-minded Caroline Ellis is a driven young woman with no time for local tales of witchcraft and black
magic. The young hospice worker is determined to make enough money to attend nursing school, even if it
means taking a job as a live-in caretaker for the elderly owner of an isolated plantation house an hour’s drive
outside of New Orleans, deep in the atmospheric Louisiana delta renowned for the locals’ mystical practices
and powerful ceremonies. The decrepit Terrebonne Parish mansion is home to Violet and Ben Devereaux
and both the house and its occupants seem weighted with somber histories. Caring for Ben after a stroke
has left him nearly paralyzed and mute. To make maneuvering throughout the large home an easier task,
Violet entrusts the new live-in with a skeleton key that unlocks every door–including one that Caroline discovers obscured by a bookcase at the back of the house’s attic. Seemingly forgotten, the room holds an intriguing mix of antiques, mirrors oddly banished from the rooms below and artifacts apparently connected to
the practice of a strange kind of magic–a folk magic that conflicts directly with Caroline’s common sense and
pragmatic way of thinking. And yet, small instances of the unexplainable begin to occur. The mansion–and
the strange couple who inhabit it–are rife with secrets. The more Caroline explores, the deeper she is drawn
into a darkening mystery in the attic room at the very heart of the house–towards a terrifying and sinister
legacy that threatens to take vengeance on anyone who comes to believe in its power. As Caroline begins
to question her own convictions, she comes ever closer to opening the door and crossing the threshold to
where simple belief becomes deadly reality.

The killer doll is back! Glen is the
orphan offspring of the irrepressible
devilish-doll-come-to-life Chucky
and his equally twisted bride Tiffany.
When production starts on a movie
detailing the urban legend of his
parents’ lethal exploits, Glen heads
for Hollywood where he brings his
bloodthirsty parents back from the
dead. The family dynamics are far
from perfect as Chucky and Tiffany
go Hollywood and get rolling on a
new spree of murderous mayhem
Rocky risks losing everything,
stricken with brain damage
from his years in the ring,
and goes back to his meager
origins, only to become embroiled in a street fight with
his surrogate son.

When a villainous bandit terrorizes her
small Mexican village, a real-life damsel in
distress (Patrice Martinez) enlists the help
of three goofy singing cowboy Hollywood

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

SKY Movies HD 2
15.00 - 17.05 & 21.00 - 23.05
John and Jane Smith are an
ordinary suburban couple with
an ordinary, lifeless suburban
marriage. But each is hiding
something the other would kill
to know: Mr. and Mrs. Smith
are actually highly paid,
incredibly efficient assassins–and they work for
competing organizations.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith both
discover a new source of
excitement in their marriage, when they’re hired
to assassinate each
other–and that’s when
the real fun starts.
The result is a total
action spectacle, as
Mr. and Mrs. Smith put
their formidable skills to
work and their marriage to
the ultimate test.

Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to the tough,
the corrupt, the brokenhearted, Some call it
dark. Some call it hard-boiled. Then there
are those who call it home. Crooked
cops. Sexy Dames. Desperate vigilantes.
Some are seeking revenge--others lust
after redemption. And then there are
those hoping for a little of both.

As the FBI scrambles to save the life of
the kidnapped daughter of the Chinese
Consul, the diplomat hires trusted Hong
Kong police detective Lee to find the
girl. Unwilling to have their investigation
invaded by a meddling outsider, the FBI
assigns a rogue LAPD detective to keep
Detective Lee away from the case at
any cost. Carter, the detective, covertly
embarks on a one-man crusade to solve
the case, having first distracted Lee.
Within hours, Carter realises he has
greatly underestimated his Hong Kong
counterpart, who has seen through his
ruse, given Carter the slip, and landed
in the middle of the FBI’s investigation.

Marcus has always known he was
going to be a rapper, but when
his mother is murdered, he turns
to dealing-hustling drugs pays
the rent. As his world spirals out
of control, he begins to apply the
same manic intensity to his writing
as he does to dealing; he has to
write down his words to stay sane.
For years, he endures this living
hell until a tragedy that nearly kills
him gets Marcus to change his life

Charlie Price thinks he has finally
escaped the dead-end industrial town
of Northampton with ambitious fiancée
Nicola, when his father suddenly passes
away, leaving Charlie unexpectedly in
charge of the sinking family business in
sturdy shoes. Trapped between a world
of cheap knock-offs and to-die-for Jimmy
Choos, Price & Sons seemingly doesn’t
need a manager so much as it needs a
savior. With mounting dread, Charlie soon
realizes that to even stay afloat he’s going
to have to lay off many of his dad’s loyal,
life-long employees. Then, one dark night
in Soho, Charlie is literally smacked in
the face with an idea that could bring the
factory roaring back to life.

Chris Brander has it all: money, good looks and a flashy job as
an LA music executive. But back in high school in New Jersey
in the 1990’s, Chris was shy, overweight and the butt of the cool
crowd’s jokes. The only bright spot in his life was his friendship
with Jamie Palamino a super-popular cheerleader. But Chris
was harboring a secret –he was hopelessly in love with his
best friend. On the night of their high school graduation,
Chris finally works up his courage and makes his feelings
known. In response, a surprised Jamie proceeds to give
him the �”Just Friends”� speech. Enraged and humiliated,
Chris declares himself no longer friends with Jamie
and storms off. Ten years later, Chris has reinvented himself as a smooth talking lady-killer, living
large in Los Angeles. Chris’s boss, KC, has just
given him his most challenging job assignment
yet –turning spoiled socialite, diva and magazine pin-up girl Samantha James into a popsinging sensation.

Sky Sports will broadcast
its 1000th game from
the Premiership when
Spurs meet Blackburn

The killer doll is back! Glen is the orphan doll offspring of the irrepressible devilish-doll-come-to-life
Chucky and his equally twisted bride Tiffany. When
production starts on a movie detailing the urban
legend of his parents’ lethal exploits, Glen heads for
Hollywood where he brings his bloodthirsty parents
back from the dead. The family dynamics are far
from perfect as Chucky and Tiffany go Hollywood
and get rolling on a new spree of murderous
mayhem--much to gentle Glen’s horror. Chucky
can’t believe that his child doesn’t want to walk in
his murdering footsteps, and star-struck Tiffany
can’t believe that the movie will star her favorite
actress, Jennifer Tilly, who soon becomes an unwitting hostess to this new family in more ways than
one.

Olduvai Research Station is a remote
scientific facility on Mars where something
has gone terribly wrong. All experiments
have ceased, and communication has
failed. It’s Level 5 Quarantine, and the
only souls allowed in or out are the Rapid
Response Tactical Squad (RRTS)--hardened Marines armed to the teeth with
enough firepower to neutralize any enemy-or so they think. The researchers at this
Red Planet station have unwittingly opened
a door, and all hell has broken loose.

Valerie Jean Stage School
Valerie runs the longest
established school in the
area. She has a lot of experience and a lot of gifted
dancers who are keen to
step onto the stage.
In the past, Valerie has
produced many shows
that have put her young
and gifted dancers in the
lime light. This year, she
is inviting fans to a show
called ‘ ‘Let’s dance’ at the
Auditorio del Centro Social
de Dénia.
‘Let’s dance’ is a compilation of many songs and
dance styles. There are
scenes from famous shows
and musicals, such as
Fame or Chicago, classical
scenes from Swan Lake
by Tchaikovsky, Mack the
Knife from The Beggar’s
Opera by Kurt Weill or
Singin’ in the Rain, the
musical that Gene Kelly
made famous.
More than 100 people participate in the show and
there is barely any dance
style that is not covered.
Fame is modern and sexy
with some classical elements, Chicago has a lot of
jazz in the music and modern jazz dance in the presentation. The young girls
have a chance to show their
skills with the grandes and
demi-plies in the scenes
from Tchaikovsky’s popular ballet Swan Lake.
Tap looks very simple but
requires a lot of skills in the
ankles. The song ‘Puttin’ on
the Ritz’ that was originally written by Irving Berlin
and became one of Fred
Astaire’s popular dance
numbers is included in the
show. Another song that
is a favourite amongst the
tap dancers and cannot be
missed in the show is ‘I’ve
got rhythm’. It is originally
by George Gershwin, but
the great jazz singer Ella
Fitzgerald made it famous
when she included it in her
Gershwin Songbook.
Originally a pauper’s
song and first presented
on stage in 1928 as part
of The Beggar’s Opera,
Mack the Knife has become
a pop standard sung by
Louis Armstrong and Ella
Fitzgerald. In the show it is
another wonderful rhythm
for the girls to impress
with their tap skills.
Even the youngest ones,
and they are only four years
old, have their own number
to charm the audience with
the tap number ‘Singin’ in
the Rain’. Although they
are not splashing through
the puddles like Gene Kelly
who made the song famous,
they already tap across the
scenes with their cute little
umbrellas.
With ‘Spirit of the Dance’
the show takes an excursion into Ireland. It combines Irish Dance with the
passionate Latino rhythms
of Tango, Flamenco and
Red- Hot Salsa.
The sisters Emma Devine
and Lucy Glister bring
in a new influence. They
have introduced five songs
from the Broadway musical Annie, ‘Maybe’, ‘Never
fully dressed without a
Smile’, ‘It’s a hard knock
life’, and ‘Annie’.
Tickets for the show tonight
and tomorrow night at 19.30
hours are still available.
They cost ten euros, part
of the cover charge goes
to Raquel Payà, the special
needs school in Dénia.
Valerie Jean has 40 years of teaching
experience under her feet. She originally trained in Britain, but then also
qualified with the Spanish dance teacher association, the SIPDE, the Sociedad
Internacional de Profesores de Baile en
España. She has run the school in Jávea
for nearly twenty years. Every other year
she produces a glamorous show. In the
other year she prepares her pupils for
exams that are internationally recognised.
Emma Devine has a BA in teaching
drama and a post graduate degree as
a primary teacher. She is a member of
Equity, the British actors’ union and used
to run her own stage school in Wimbledon
in London offering drama, dance and
singing lessons.
Lucy Glister is a professional dancer,
who has worked all over the world on
many cruise ships and hotels. Later she
started working as a show producer for
Open Wide in London and went on to
form her own stage school in Tunbridge
Wells. She still has her own dance troupe
that tours around the area to entertain in
local venues.

THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND
In the early 1970s, Nicholas Garrigan, a young semi-idealistic Scottish
doctor, comes to Uganda to assist in a rural hospital. Once there, Garrigan soon meet the new President, Idi Amin, whom promises a golden
age for his people. Garrigan hits it off immediately with the rabid Scotland fan, and offers the good quack a senior position in the national
health department and so hence forth, becomes one of Amin’s closest advisers. However as the years ensue, Garrigan notices, which is
some what evident; Amin’s increasingly erratic behavior that grows
beyond a legitimate fear of assassination into a murderous insanity,
also commonly known as genocide; driving Uganda into bloody ruin.
Realising his dire situation with the lunatic leader and most unwilling to
allow doctor Garrigan to return home, Garrigan must then make some
crucial decisions that could mean his death if the crack-pot despot
discovers his plans.

FLUSHED AWAY
Flushed Away is a rip-roaring nautical adventure with
a twist: The heroes are a pair of rodents braving the
sewers underneath London. Roddy (voiced by Hugh
Jackman) is an upper-crust house-mouse who finds
himself flushed into the subterranean sewers. Eager
to return to his posh home, he enlists the help of a
boat-captain rat named Rita (Kate Winslet), who has
troubles of her own; namely the kingpin of the underworld, the Toad (Ian McKellen), and his henchmen including the French mercenary Le Frog (Jean Réno).
Flushed Away is family fun at its best.

The Zahir
written by: Paulo Coelho
Once again the wonderful and inspiring Brazilian aurhor, Paulo Coehlo has
created yet another masterpiece.
Introducing us with The Alchemist, followed by The Pilgrimigae, The Warrior
of Light, Eleven Minutes and now The
Zahir. Paulo Coelho was born and
raised in Brazil and has become one
of the worlds most-loved authors. He
has sold over 56 million books across
the globe which in turn, have been
translated in to 59 languages.
According to the writer Jorge Luis
Borges, the idea of The Zahir comes
from Islamic tradition and is thought
to have arisen at some point in the
eighteenth century. Zahir, in Arabic,
means visible, present, incapable of
going unoticed. It is someone or something which, once we have come in
to contact with them or it, gradually
occupies our every thought, until we
can think of nothing else. This can be
considered a state of holiness or of
madness.
Synopsis:
A renowned author is arrested on suspision of the dissapearence of his wife,
Esther, a war correspondent however,
it is soon discovered she has indeed
gone missing whilst in Iraq, leaving
no trace. The author is then forced
to continue his life not knowing what
has happened to his wife. He soon
becomes entangled in a web of mystery and personal sacrifice in order to
discover the reality behind his wife’s
sudden disapearance. In his search,
which also encompasses the truth of
his own life, his quest takes him to Central Asia, Spain, France and Croatia.
Moreover, his path delivers him to the
understanding of love, the power of
destiny and what it truely means to
follow your heart.
This book and much like his others is of
a deep philosophical content, allowing the mind to roam free in the wilderness of his his story. It jolts the heart
and moves the soul leaving you the
reader with a rather mellow impact
filled with contentment. A most enjoyable read.

Here comes
the Sun
Diet
Now the sun is here with a vengeance
and sun protection is crucial
By Penny Lapenna
Ultra-violet radiation is
cumulative and every
hour of sunlight a person gets whether at age
one, or fifty adds up. But
an hour of radiation is
far more damaging to a
child than to an adult. So,
children should be taught
to use sunscreens.
Even the best UVA+UVB
sunscreens cannot provide full protection. First,
some UV rays still manage
to get through. Second, it
is easy to accidentally rub
off, wash off or sweat off
much of your sunscreen.
Apprehensive
about
choosing
medical
insurance?
Third, it is easy to forget
to reapply sunscreen as
often as recommended. It
is fun to be in the sun, but
limit your sun exposure
even when you are wearing sunscreen.
We know that Vitamin C is necessary for
a variety of biological functions, and it’s
great to help your skin get healthy from the
inside out. Vitamin E also improves skin
moisture levels and promotes a smooth
skin texture. Some studies have shown
that both may increase your natural SPF,
decrease sun damage and help repair sun
damaged skin.
Some foods that are high in Vitamin C
and E abound in the Valencian region,
such as Oranges, Sunflower seeds,
Tomatoes, Almonds, and Peppers. A typical Mediterranean diet will be high in
these enriching foods and thus boost your
skins ability to repair sun damage.Sunless
tanning pills have become big business in
America, but these products are unsafe
and cause a build-up of toxins in your
body. However, fake tan products no longer
cause that orange-brown, streaky appearance.
Today products offer an even, naturallooking tan if they’re applied correctly and
carefully.
For best results, wash, shave and exfoliate
your skin before use to ensure an even
application. Use less product on dry or
thickened skin such as ankles, knees and
elbows which absorb too much product.
Wash hands and clean under nails afterwards, and wait until the product dries
completely to prevent staining. Many products now dry in a shorter time and those
that offer a light colour tone will look more
natural.
Feel secure in the knowledge that you
are speaking to a specialist.

Danger hits Gata
Jávea players have produced an
excellent 103rd production, a
Francis Durbridge thriller, A
Touch of Danger. Enjoyed by over
150 guests, all were kept on the
edges of their seats as members
performed the play to a high standard. Directed by Penny Grant, the
nine actors who made the show
memorable in more ways than one
were congratulated on their professionalism, and the first night
show was finished by a buffet and
cava dinner. After this splendid
show we look forward to the next
on June 23.
Jávea Players was founded in 1976
with around 5 performances a

The Par 3 at Oliva Nova Golf provided its
usual difficulties as the juniors battled for
Pars and Birdies during their competition last Sunday. Congratulations to Zack
(13) who took the Intermediate Trophy on
his debut performance. Well done to Alex
Oak-Rhind (14) who took the Advanced
title with a new Escuela de Golf record of
3 under par over 15 holes. Well done also to
Charlie Parkin (6) for winning his second
gold medal and the Beginners title.
Ben Christey-Clover from the Escuela
de Golf said “One student stood out on
the day for her tenacity and encouragement throughout the afternoon. Lauren
(6) was fantastic, she smiled as she worked
through her practice routine on every shot
and never stopped encouraging all her fellow competitors as well as those in other
divisions.”
Daniel Rowlands (14) came second in the
Advanced category with Louis Curtis (6)
second in the Intermediate category.
Individual adult tuition is available
and Adult group coaching sessions are
on Monday mornings and Thursday
afternoons with tournaments twice
monthly. Tel. Loretta 680 528 658 for more

The BOUNCE
Following the success of the first The BOUNCE night at The Grand Cafe, Toscamar,
Jávea, the DJs Darrell and Mal are back
again for the second instalment, May 5.
The origins of The BOUNCE stem from
the meeting of two like minded DJ both resident here in Spain. Darrell and Mal met
last Christmas and following a number of
discussions decided to start The BOUNCE.
The idea was to provide people with an alternative to the normal commercial sounds
they hear everyday on the radio and in the
bars in Jávea. With the musical focus on all
that is funky, the guys are aiming to repeat
and surpass the success of the first night.
The musical spectrum on the night ranges
from R’nB to Funky House and beyond.
The night has a policy of over 20s only.
The idea is to enable the more mature partygoers to enjoy a night out without feeling
out of place or too old. The accent is on
giving the public an experience similar to
those of their younger days but suitable to
how they feel and behave now!
To complete the vision we decided to approach The Grand Cafe as a venue. Having
known the owners for some time and the
fact the venue is away from the madness of
the Arenal, it seemed like the perfect place
to hold a monthly event.
The response from the first The BOUNCE
meant it was destined to continue. The
amazing affect created, served to encourage
Darrell and Mal. With the help of the fine
service and remarkable organisation of
The Grand Cafe they aim deliver another
excellent nights’ entertainment to the loyal
attendee of The BOUNCE.
So look out for the invite or Tel. 657-135-920,

The Marina Valleys:
Cherry
Country
Travel guide to the Gallinera,
Alcalà, Ebo and Laguar Valleys
Ignasi Mora
Picture: Daniel Belenguer
Just as the sun’s light vibrates differently each season of the year, it provides
us with different states of
body and mind. That’s why
a visit to the Marina Alta’s
interior valleys – Gallinera,
Alcalà, Ebo and Laguar
– will also vary according
to the time of year. These
four staggered and contiguous valleys have turned
transition into diversity
given their nearby beaches
and agricultural land and
marshes, and the rougher
interior lands and thicker
atmosphere. You must bear
in mind that, despite the
sensation of being in a remote place, the valleys are
only 15-20 km away from
the sea as the crow flies and
about 25-30 km by road.
In summer, sensuality
produced by the body’s heat
becomes pleasure along
the natural spring routes
through the valleys and in
their municipal swimming
pools. Nights often seem
fresher than they do on the
coast (Alcalà is 600m above
sea level and cold in winter,
so carob trees cannot grow).
In autumn, with the fall
of deciduous leaves and
the persistent murmur of
water (rainfall is high in
the valleys), our senses are
invaded by the sweet melancholy and the pictorial
clarity of the landscape. In
winter, a deeper version of
autumn, the passivity of nature sends the atmosphere
to sleep (the olive, almond,
carob, cherry and other
fruit trees are resting) and
we sense the energy that
the sun is lacking in the
crackling of spontaneous
fires that still glow in these
valleys.
The awakening of spring
Yet spring is the season in
which the valleys of Gallinera, Alcalà, Ebo and
Laguar appear, without
exaggerating, almost like
a small paradise. Rainy
springs, like this year’s,
would have sent the impressionist painters crazy over
the abundance of greens,
yellows, violets... the entire
range of the palette, as well
as those feverish patches of
red, the poppies.
Not only that, but spring
is the cherry season. The
blossoming of the cherry
trees, which follow the almond trees, is like a fine
pure breath. But the proud
red flesh of the ripe cherries awakens our senses and
even fills them with voracity. What a treat it is to sink
your teeth into a cherry
with smooth skin and delicious flesh!
Spain’s earliest cherries are harvested in these
valleys. However, they say
that this is not a year for
cherries. In other words,
millions of kilos will not
be harvested. But enough
for us to buy and satisfy our
hunger for cherries from
one of the valley’s farmers
or cooperatives, since only
the best cherries will reach
the markets. And if night
falls, let’s not forget to listen near the ravines for the
elegant song of the nightingales, the musical guests at
this time of year.
Beyond the cherries
Whilst the cherries are a
great attraction, our four
valleys offer other areas of
interest. Maybe the first of
which is the almost miraculous self-protection from
the wave of construction
that has invaded not only
the coast but many interior
locations too. The steepness
of the terrain and a certain
respect for a place as magnificent as these valleys
has held back the desire to
cover the area with cloned
urban developments.
Despite being expelled in
1609, the footprints of the
Moors can still be found in
the valleys, which were incidentally their last strategic refuge. The subsequent
repopulation by the Majorcans awakes curiosity for
the island characteristics
still kept alive in the valleys. These days, the four
valleys are tending towards
quality tourism, for which
they are equipped with considerable
infrastructure:
two hotels, three campsites,
a hostel and a large number
of country houses, restaurants and bars.
Furthermore, a network
of horseshoe paths cross
the four valleys and allow
hours and hours of diverse
hiking trails. The beautiful
dry stone walls create an
authentic outdoor museum. You can also visit cave
paintings, castles (in Gallinera and Laguar), snow
potholes or stores (Alcalà),
old abandoned settlements
(principally L’Atzuvieta in
Alcalà), spectacular caves
(such as Rull in Ebo, with
guided tours), ethnology
museums (Ebo and Gallinera) and a hunting park
(Alcalà).

IDEAL HOME
The BIGGEST homes, gardens & lifestyle exhibition ever to take place in Spain
Celebrity sponsor
The Homes & Gardens Show is delighted to be coming to the IFA
Exhibition Centre, next to Alicante Airport on Saturday 26 and Sunday
27 May 2007.
The event, now on its 4th edition has grown from strength to strength from
its first show in Málaga 3 years ago. Imagine the Ideal Home Show but
with a Spanish twist, then that’s the H&G Show!
Hundreds of exhibitors pack the hall and offer the thousands of visitors
everything they could want or need to enable them to create their dream
home in Spain. Not only are there local suppliers but also some known
brands from overseas to give visitors a little bit of over there, over here!
Visitors wanting expert advice come to the show to meet exhibitors who
can solve their home furnishing dilemmas. The organizers work tirelessly
to ensure that the show offers everything that a visitor could need from

HUERTA DE MURCIA
Terra Natura opens a
new park in the city
Marga Jiménez &
Alex Elgar
Murcia is the first town in
the Region to have its own
theme park. Terra Natura, located on the site of
the former Espinardo zoo,
covers 130,000 m2 and is
home to 300 animals and
50 species in its Africa and
Iberian Peninsula habitats,
such as zebras, hippopotamuses, bears, elephants,
mountain goats, wolves, roe
deer, birds of prey, ducks,
otters, deer, lions, giraffes...
The main attraction of the
park is that visual barriers
have been eliminated to
foster interaction with the
animals. At first, the park
will only be open to certain
groups, such as schools and
other collectives, that have
pre-booked in order to acclimatise the animals to their
new habitats. As of 14 May,
tickets will be on sale to the
general public. Terra Natura can receive up to 3500
people per day. It also has a
wooden bridge measuring
142 metres at a height of 7
metres, a 4000 m2 aviary,
a picnic area, five restaurants and several kiosks.
Visitors to the park can also
enjoy Aqua Natura, a water
park covering 40,000 m2,
with a range of different
areas: swimming pools for
children and adults, slides,
hydromassages and a solarium. This area will open
in the next few months. The
park designers have mana-

WATER PARK: New areas opening soon
Champion on the right track
European 1,500m champion,
Juan Carlos Higuero beat
Murcia’s new tram hands
down when it was officially
opened last Sunday. Racing the 1,900 metres on foot
against the tram, Higuero
was egged on by almost a
hundred people including
authorities, reporters and
local residents who got on
the tram at its first stop at
Ibermutuamur.
Higuero made four breathers at zebra crossings, at
each of which a ‘human
traffic light’ forced him to
stop for 15 seconds. The
tram, however, had to pick
up about 15 people at each
of its stops: Carrefour and
the Biblioteca Regional,
stopping for 30 seconds
apiece.
Volunteers controlled the
‘human
traffic
lights’,
where Higuero was timed.
The team was coordinated
by ex-goalkeeper of El
Pozo indoor football team,
Pepín.
The finish line judge was
Antonio Peñalver, runner
up in the Barcelona Olympic Games decathlon event
in 1992.
Murcia’s mayor, Miguel
Ángel Cámara, said: “The
Higuero-Tranvimur challenge represents a milestone in the history of sport
and entertainment.
It is the greatest challenge
ever undertaken with this
type of infrastructure.”
During the presentation
of Murcia’s new means of
transport, Cámara added
“the tram is not transport
from the past, but transport
for the future.
“It offers greater passenger
capacity, speed and punctuality, it does not cause pollution and it is energy- efficient.
“It is also cheap, accessible
and safe.”
It is hoped the tram will ease
congestion and encourage
city-dwellers to leave their
cars at home.

May 4 - May 10 2007
Valle del Guadalentín is to
boast a new residential resort and golf course. The
new complex is to be located in La Hoya in Lorca,
which is one of Murcia’s
most popular areas for British residents. The complex,
which will be situated in
close proximity to the A-7
Mediterráneo
motorway,
will span one and a half
million square metres. Currently, the area is used for
irrigated crop cultivation.
In just over a month, La
Hoya Local Council plans
to examine the initial phases of two land development
projects, which will eventually lead to the creation
of almost three thousand
homes.
The special land development plan created by Eurocapital Negocios will cover
a total of 1,563,977 square
metres in La Hoya, currently used for irrigated crop
growth.
The area of land is located on the A7 motorway
service road at kilometre
607 towards Murcia, close
to the edge of the town’s
municipal area. According
to the local council, various
points along this service
provide access to the future
complex area.
The tourist development
is enhanced further by
the construction of an 18hole golf course, covering
641,566 square metres, and
is expected to be the complex’s main attraction.
Initial Plans
According to the plan,
the Town Council will be
granted 112,515 square metres for local roads, 156,348
square metres for general
systems, a further 94,993
square metres for public
green areas, 80,524 square
metres for public facilities,
and 3,000 for waste treatment.
In addition to this, there
are 18,762 square metres
of developable land, which
will enable the construction
of some 187 new homes.
Though plans are still in
the initial phases, some of
these properties could be
reserved for young people.
The remaining developable
land could be used to build
around 1870 new homes.
The project also includes
the creation of 2097 parking spaces, 48 of which will
be reserved for disabled
people. The costs predicted
for this complex, which will
cover more than one-and-a half million square metres,
amount to €26,768,000, and
will be incurred completely
by the land owners.
LA HOYA: Soon to be a golf resort aimed at British expatriates
The project is yet to be
submitted to the Segura
Hydrographical Confederation, the State General Road
Authority and the General
Urban Planning Authority
for strategic environmental evaluation and reports.
Such processes can take
more than a year.
The other development
project is planned in the
area known as Huerto
Chico, which is almost directly opposite this zone on
the other side of the motorway. Initial approval was
granted in March, and the
surface area involved covers more than one million
square metres, upon which
some 1,100 houses are expected to be built.

Eighty new shops to open
in Parque Mediterráneo
22,000 visitors a day are expected at the shopping centre
José Andúgar
Espacio Mediterráneo, the
area set aside for small
shops in the Parque Mediterráneo leisure and commercial centre, will open
its doors on May 22. The
shopping centre will extend the capabilities of
the area located within the
Cabezo Beaza industrial
estate, which can easily be
accessed from the MurciaAlicante motorway (the
motorway that runs from
La Manga and the rest of
the Mar Menor).
After two years of construction work, the opening of
these 80 new shops brings
the shopping centre one
step closer to completion
and to being one of the larg-
est shopping complexes in
Europe. The main objective
of the Espacio Mediterráneo management team is to
exceed 7.5 million visitors a
year, which means an average of over 20,000 per day.
In spite of this inauguration, the centre will not be
running at full capacity until a few weeks later. About a
dozen establishments have
been forced to delay opening because of damage to
the roof caused by rainfall
a few weeks ago. A further
40 shops are to be opened in
the future.
This new leisure and shopping area completes the
first phase of Espacio Mediterráneo, which opened its
doors to the public last October with 20 shops and a
Carrefour hypermarket.
The third and top floor of
N
DELAY: Heavy rain held up proceedings
the complex houses fashion
and accessories shops, in
addition to restaurants and
leisure facilities including
a bowling alley and a multiplex cinema that together
cover a surface area of 6,013
m2. Vistors can access the
Lux Cinemas complex from
this floor.
The first floor is home to
a range of cuisines to suit
everybody’s taste: from
traditional Mediterranean
cooking to fast food and
themed restaurants. On
the ground floor, where the
Carrefour
hypermarket
is located, there is a wide
range of
medium-sized
shops specialising in sporting equipment, clothing,
toys, furniture and domestic appliances.
Where the
melons
used to be
grown
“This represents a major business project for
the city, which we have
been developing for
some time. I can still
remember when they
used to grow melons on
this spot and now we
have a virtually complete complex to add to
our city’s spectrum of
shopping and leisure
areas. Along with the
tourism options offered
by Puerto de Culturas,
the shopping centre
will increase visitor
numbers and wealth in
Cartagena,” indicated
the Mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro.
260 parking spaces to be built
under Plaza de España
Work is scheduled to
resume on the Alameda de
San Antón car park under
Plaza de España in June,
if nothing else crops up to
impede it. The discovery
of important archaeological remains definitively
reduced the project by a
third: Aparksa, a Grupo Unión company, can only construct 259 of the 418 spaces
it had planned.
Given the Valencia Regional Government directorate
general of culture’s clear
instruction that no work
is to be undertaken that
might affect the ruins of
the Puerta de Madrid (an
18th century bridge) and
the Anguililla canal, the final design of the car park is
limited to the western half
of the Plaza de España.
That is to say, if you divide the square into two
as though it were a cake
by drawing an imaginary
line from Calle del Carmen
to La Alameda, the part
where the car park will be
located is on the side nearest the Barrio de la Concepción. The area near the
Carmelitas school and the
union building will not be
affected, but work will take
place in the area next to the
CAR PARK: Works to restart next month
taxi rank, Edificio 2001 and
the petrol station.
In order to minimise traffic
problems, the local traffic
police has recommended
the implementation of
a two-stage strategy, although at this point it is
unclear where work will
commence.
Although the local government has authorised the
project, reports are still
pending from the planning
and fire departments. In
order to facilitate access to
the car park during the construction phase, two-way
lanes will be implemented.
In May 2006, Soler promised that the technical problems were to be resolved by
means of ‘progressive solu-
tions’, which would allow
the work to be completed by
mid-2007. The truth is that
work still has not started
and the councillor assures
that there will be no more
delays.
“I am glad we are nearing
the end of a complicated
phase. Taking into account
the
characteristics
of
Cartagena, it is understand-
able that in the archaeological excavation phase there
would be subsoil complications and that the Ministry
of Culture would enforce
certain conditions on the
project. But, now, and after implementing rigorous
processes, everything is
perfect and we are ready to
resume work as soon as possible,” stated Soler.
The prices to be applied
in the new car park (estimated to be completed in 15
months) have not been set
by Aparksa yet, although
early last year council technicians were considering
two cents per minute.
The extension of
the
Alameda de San Antón car
park is an initiative that
could not be undertaken a
decade ago due to problems
encountered by the ONCE
group company that was
to manage the car park.
Now the project has been
taken on by Grupo Unión,
the company managed by
the well-known Cartagena
constructors and property
developers Alfonso García
and Mariano Roca.
Early next year, locals and
tourists will also have at
their disposal 500 new underground parking spaces
in Calle Real, close to the
Military Arsenal. The spaces will be in a new car park
called Plaza del Par.
Support for pedestrianisation
This infrastructure project
forms part of the measures designed to support
the pedestrianisation of
six streets in the old town,
including the Carmen and
Sagasta tourist streets.
The aim is to compensate
the elimination of parking
spaces on the surface with
the creation of new ones
underground.
The pedestrianisation of
six streets met with tough
opposition from the area’s
shopkeepers last year. For
them, removing traffic
from their shop windows
means removing potential
customers.
Cartagena Council has
adopted the opposite stance,
as it is committed to making the centre a nice place
to stroll and shop. The council maintains that visitor
numbers have increased in
the pedestrian streets in recent months. Many visitors
are tourists from the port
area coming in via Calle
Mayor and Calle Puerta de
Murcia.

Vanunu faces

The verdict could mean a

His lawyer called it “intolerable” to convict a person
for the mere act of speaking, never mind whatever
was said.
A sentencing hearing is
set for 18 May. Vanunu is
banned from leaving Israel.
“We should be clear here
that Vanunu was convicted
for the very act of speaking
to non-Israelis, rather than
the content of those conversations,” lawyer Michel
Sfard said.
“We do not consider this appropriate for a democracy

Major conference to
solve Iraq instability
Violence continues in the
war-torn country
Two days of talks may involve
United States and Iran
A major international conference aimed at bringing
stability and economic recovery to Iraq has opened
in Egypt.
Two days of talks will
bring together diplomats
from wealthy nations and
regional powers in the Red
Sea resort of Sharm elSheikh.
Delegates are to endorse
a five-year International
Compact for Iraq (ICI), giving support in exchange
for reforms.
US Secretary of State
Condoleezza
Rice
has
hinted she could meet her
Iranian and Syrian counterparts.
Delegates will have two
meetings - the ICI meeting
yesterday, then an international conference today.
Representatives of Iraq’s
neighbours, including Iran
and Syria, as well as of the
G8 and EU attended.
The conference started
against a background of
continuing violence in Iraq.
The US said a rocket
strike on Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone had
killed four US government
contractors, all from the
Philippines.
The presence of ministers from the US, Iran and
Syria at the talks in Egypt
has sparked speculation
of possible talks between
them on the sidelines.
The US secretary of state
Condoleezza Rice said: “I
think I can handle any question that is asked of me.”
Ms Rice said she would
not avoid an exchange
with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki
should it happen.
She said: “If we encounter each other and wander
to other subjects I am prepared to address them at
least in terms of American
policy.”
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said
he would welcome honest
dialogue with the US in
Egypt.
He warned that it would
be a mistake for the US to
think negotiations would
result in Iran scaling back
its nuclear programme
when sanctions and diplomatic pressure have not
yielded results. Such a
meeting would mark the
first bilateral talks between
ministers from the two
countries since the United
States cut relations in 1980.
There has been little
contact between them ever
since the Iranian revolution and the seizure of the
US embassy in Tehran in
1979.
But the open question is
whether America and Iran
will even hold direct talks.
SUMMIT DELEGATIONS

United States

The Bush administration
still accuses Iran of meddling inside neighbouring
Iraq - a charge Iran has
strongly denied - and Washington refuses to discuss
Iran’s nuclear programme
until Tehran suspends its
uranium enrichment.
The US also charges Syria
with allowing foreign fighters to enter Iraq through
the long border between
the two neighbours - something Damascus denies.
British shipyard wins multi-million pound deal
to build sections for Spanish Navy submarines
Barrow shipyard in England has won its first export
order in 30 years, with a
multi-million pound deal to
make sections for Spanish
submarines.
The yard will build two
domed ends for the pressure hulls of each of an initial four new S80 Scorpene
class submarines.
Another four could follow
on.
The deal, which was won
against competition from
France, Germany and the
United States, has been
hailed as ‘a real coup’ and
helps secure Barrow jobs.
It is not expected to create
new ones.
The export breakthrough
came after Barrow yard
was forced to buy a giant
£2m, 2,500-tonne capacity
press, to make much larger
dome ends for future Astute
class nuclear-powered subs
for the Royal Navy.
It was bought from the
former supplier, Motherwell
Bridge in Scotland, and then
reassembled in Barrow to
secure future supplies.
After months of secret negotiations, a deal has been
signed with Spain’s government-owned
shipbuilder
Navantia SA and work has
started.
BAE will fabricate and assemble fore and aft pressure hull domes.
It says that it will also “provide technical support and
assistance in other aspects
of pressure hull fabrication
to Navantia as the overall
S80 programme develops.”
The first two boat sets will
be fully welded and completed in Barrow.
The last two will be partly
assembled and welded in
Barrow, with final welding
set to take place in Navantia’s facilities in Cartagena,
with support from BAE as
required.
Navantia group procurement president José Ramón
said: “Navantia welcomes
the support offered by BAE
Systems.”
Shipyard managing director Murray Easton said:
“We are delighted to have
won the contract to collaborate with Navantia on the
S80 programme to use the
vast wealth of knowledge
and capability for conventional submarine development and construction that
exists alongside our nuclear build capability.
“It is also a welcome return to the export market,
although the Astute programme remains the primary focus for the yard.”
Simon Jones, of BAE, who
led the bid to secure the Navantia agreement, said: “The
depth of our knowledge and
proven track record in submarine technology underpins why Navantia chose to
work with us.
“We believe the agreement
represents a very important progression in the
international submarine
industry sector.”
Navantia has the prime contract for four S80 2,400 tonne
submarines for the Spanish
Navy to be built in Cartagena.
HIGH SEAS: A Scorpene class submarine
The order was won against
massive competition and
BAE
spokesman
Chris
Nelson said: “It was worldwide competition, primarily French, German and
the Americans, but we
beat them all. It was a real
coup.”
The chairman of Keep Our
Future Afloat Campaign in
Barrow, Councillor Terry
Waiting, said: “We are delighted by this order. I don’t
think it will create any jobs
in Barrow but it will help
secure the jobs of those that
are there.
“It is an export order and
it is working with another
partner so it has got to be
good news.”
Amicus union official Nick
Miller said: “Obviously this
is welcome news and recognition that Barrow has a
good shipbuilding reputation.”
The yard’s last submarine
export order was the Riachuelo Oberón Class boat,
built for Brazil in 1977.

George Bush
vetoes bill
US President George W Bush
has vetoed a Congressional
bill that would have linked
war funding to a timetable
for withdrawal of US troops
from Iraq.
Speaking in Washington
after signing the veto, Mr
Bush said setting a deadline
for withdrawal would be
setting a date for failure in

He said the funding was

Mr Bush said he would seek
a compromise with Congressional leaders.
It is only the second time
since taking office that Mr
Bush has used the presidential veto.
Earlier on Tuesday, leaders
of the Democrat-controlled US Congress signed the
controversial bill agreeing
to $100bn (£50bn) in further
funding on condition US
combat troops begin to withdraw this year.
Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of
the house, said: “The president wants a blank cheque;
the Congress is not going to
give it to him.”
Mr Bush criticised the bill,
saying it substituted the

Mohammed Sidique Khan
was spotted on four occasions in 2004 with at least
one of the fertiliser bomb
conspirators.
At one point MI5 officers
followed Khan back to his
home in Leeds but no further action was taken.
In the wake of the convictions both the Conservatives
and the Liberal Democrats
have both called for an independent inquiry into the
July 7 link.
The new director general
of MI5, Jonathan Evans,
said: “The attack on 7 July in
London was a terrible event.

“The sense of disappointment, felt across the service,
at not being able to prevent
the attack, despite our efforts to prevent all such
atrocities, will always be
with us.
“The Security Service
will never have the capacity
to investigate everyone who
appears on the periphery of
every operation.”
Britain’s top anti-terrorist policeman, the Metropolitan Police’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter
Clarke, said: “This was not a
group of youthful idealists.
“They were trained, dedicated, ruthless terrorists
who were obviously planning to carry out an attack
against the British public.”
Police smashed the plot in
2004 after MI5 had watched
an Islamist extremist network with links across the
world.
The link with July 7 was
deliberately kept from the
Old Bailey jury for fear of
prejudicing their deliberations on the fertiliser bomb
plot.
The fertiliser bomb plot
investigation linked back to
senior Al-Qaeda figures in
Pakistan and Afghanistan,
including one who was detained by US forces in Iraq
at the weekend.
The judge told them: “You
have betrayed this country
that has given you every opportunity.”
He said: “All of you may
never be released. It’s not a
foregone conclusion.”
Two other men, Nabeel Hussain and Shujah
Mahmood, were found not
guilty.
TARGETS DISCUSSED
Bluewater shopping centre
Utilities network
Ministry of Sound nightclub
Parliament
Football stadium
The men had started out
sympathetic to Muslim
causes around the world but the key plotters decided
that violence was the answer as they came together
for secret military training
camps in Pakistan.
Back in Britain, they discussed various schemes, including targeting the Bluewater shopping centre in
Kent on a busy Saturday or
the Ministry of Sound nightclub in central London.

Welcome to the Students who make the effort
new Royal baby
The whole country was cheered this week by the news that
Crown Princess Letizia had given birth to a baby girl.
It shows just how enthusiastically the Spanish have embraced Royalty and democracy since the death of Franco.
The Spanish Royal family is held in great regard and is
something that brings stability to an often volatile race.
It is a shame that, aside from the Queen, the British Royal
family is regarded as something of an anachronism and
there appears to be growing numbers of people who feel
that it has no place in modern society.
This is probably because the Prince of Wales, heir to the
throne, has some eccentric views and the shennanigans of
his two sons, William and Harry did nothing to enhance
the family’s reputation until they both decided to join the
Army.
But King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía have shown that a
Royal Family can exist in the 21st century because they are
respected and make a contribution to the nation.
The new father, Prince Felipe, is carrying on in the same
vein.

Blaming the
messenger
The recent scathing report
issued by the Petitions
Committee of the European
Parliament into land abuse
scandals in Spain has caused
a flood of comment in both
Spanish and English press.
The report was the result
of the visit of the President
of the Petitions Committee,
Polish MEP Marcin Libicki
and Vice President Michael
Cashman, British Labour
MEP. The fact finding delegation spent two days in
the Comunitat Valenciana
during which they visited
Parcent to investigate our
petition to the European
Parliament which claims
that the plans to build 1,800
houses in Parcent contravene EU law.
Members of ‘Veïns de
Parcent’ held a meeting where village people
and European residents
addressed the MEPs. The
subsequent television coverage showed many of us
moved to tears by the testimonies of Parcent people.
My neighbour spoke, at first
haltingly, her voice shaking
with emotion. She described
how her family had fought
for their land, survived
hardship, suffered hunger
but held on to the land, and
how it meant more to her
than any amount of money
offered by the builders. She
questioned why she should
be forced to sell. British
resident Mark Harrison
told of the emotional and
financial stress suffered by
members of his Residents
Association, threatened
with losing their land and
paying huge infrastructure
costs if the urbanisation
plans go ahead. All spoke
from their hearts.
So it has been infuriating
to read the response of the
Valencian government in
the local papers. Their position from the outset has
been to discredit the delegation, cast spurious and
unproven doubts on the
integrity of its members
and rubbish the reports
findings.
Instead of listening to people’s undoubted grievances
they denied the existence of
the thousands of petitions
into urban planning abuses
received by the Petitions
Committee.
Instead of addressing the
serious and legitimate concerns of the delegation they
insulted them and attempted to ridicule official representatives of the European
Parliament.
Instead of accepting the
consequences of peoples
rightful concerns into the
security of their properties
under Valencian land laws,
they blamed the EU report
for falling house sales.
Instead of understanding
that their unjust laws are
themselves damaging the
reputation of Valencia and
putting people off buying
houses here, they blame
the Petitions Committee
for publicising citizen’s
complaints. A sad but clear
case of blaming the messenger whilst ignoring the
message.
The truth is that I was
going to talk about weddings this week because it
is the start of the month of
May and everyone seems to
be getting married. A decision that can have serious
consequences not only in
the long, but also in the
short term. For example,
you suddenly find that the
girl in the workshop is off
for six weeks just when you
need her most, or the fashion editor is on her honeymoon. But at the end of the
day, despite the fact that
50% of married couples
separate within the first
few years, it seems that
weddings are an unstoppable trend. What is more
is that the total is multiplying because many of those
who separate get married
again. So it seems that
there is no escape from the
wedding gifts, blowouts
and party clothes that seem
to define the month of May.
To get away from it all, the
best thing is to hang out
with a younger crowd –ideally 15-25 year olds– who
are a lot less likely to talk
to you about weddings,
so we should listen to the
younger generation. And
the thing is that this week
has brought a pleasant
surprise: I met a student
leader, who is a member of
a serious student association that analyses educational issues and proposes
clear, convincing and
comprehensible solutions.
This young man, Stefan
Lukic, who is the president of the Federation of
Higher Education Student
Associations (Faavem), is
of Rumanian extraction yet
speaks perfect Valenciano.
Lukic brings fresh ideas
and boundless energy to a
student organisation that
has called a strike for the
10th May based on sound
reasoning and lucid argument. The students are
indignant, among other
things, because Valencia’s
regional Education ministry has announced three
important laws over the
last month without taking
into account the opinions
of the majority of associations that comprise the
Valencian School Council.
These three laws refer
to issues that directly
affect students: a decree
that establishes on what
grounds admission to
any particular schoool is
granted or denied, a decree
determining the school
curriculum, and a decree
that defines the rights and
obligations of the student
body. You might be wondering what is this Valencian
School Council to which
the regional government
pays so little heed? Well,
it is a type of educational
parliament made up of
around a hundred people,
representatives from the
main teacher, parent, and
student associations in
the Valencian region. The
regional government is
obliged to present to the
Valencian School Council
its major planned initiatives so that they can be
discussed, voted on and
amendments proposed. As
the regional government
systematically ignores the
proposals put forward by
the council, its members
decided to refuse to attend
the last plenary session,
staging, instead, a protest
outside during which,
with their mouths taped
up, a statement was read,
the gist of which was: “If
they don’t listen, it’s better to keep quiet.” The
photo shows Stefan Lukic,
the president of the association that has called the
strike on the 10th May,
reading out the statement.
What are the students ask-
ing for? For the first time,
instead of asking for things
the students have proposed
a series of amendments to
the regional government’s
plans, which they find distasteful, and which can
be consulted on the association’s website (faavem
.org). After thoroughly
analysing the legal texts
presented, the youngsters
have found that they object
strongly both to the regional government’s educational policies and the values
that lie behind them. The
texts on their website show
that these are young people who make the effort,
that they have analytical
skills and know how to
express their arguments
to defend their point of
view. Faced with such an
unusual display, it is hard
not to get excited: perhaps
we can be optimistic about
the future. There are some
hard-working young people out there who are not
afraid to defend their ideas
no matter how powerful
their opponents might be.
Maybe things are not so
bad after all despite the
rise in the number of people getting married.

The cloning of the world
Since the Neolithic Age
until four days ago, handmade craftwork was fashionable. However, as the
19th century began, industry began to prevail. These
days, except for works of
art, even endless patience
and a full wallet will not
guarantee enabling you
to find something original. Whichever way you
look at it, like a dusty old
skull, craftwork belongs in
museums or exhibitions
about the past. It is for this
reason that, if you go to
buy a bidet, you will find
two hundreds bidets that
are all exactly the same.
Either that or there will be
a hundred expensive ones
and a hundred cheaper
ones. And that is all.
Industrialisation
was
a giant step forward for
the business world. While
craftsmen would concentrate all their efforts on
creating unique pieces, it
occurred to wily business-
men everywhere that, if
these could be cloned thousands or even millions of
times, the profits would be
huge. All that was required
to do so were those seemingly magical machines
capable of churning out
multiple duplicates of the
original. And this is how
the mechanical cloning of
the world began in the 19th
century.
In fact, attempts to achieve
mass production were
being made long before
this. Without having to
look very far for an example, there is the printing
industry. There is a world
of difference in the potential profits to be made
between employing a man
to copy books by hand and
using a printing machine.
It does not take an economic genius to work out
that printed copies can be
sold at prices that guarantee soaring demand. When
machines really began to
manufacture an industrial
world, their owners realised that their capacity to
clone objects was almost
infinite. After all, people
were being tempted to
buy the most unexpected
things. This is because
human beings tend to be
addictive and once we try
something new it is not
long before it becomes a
new necessity. What really clinched it, however,
proved to be the spread of
democracy, the belief that
we all have the right to buy
the same things, and, of
course, advertising.
Generally, humanity prefers quantity to quality
because, if this were not
the case, industry would
not have prevailed. Leaving
to one side those starving
to death on one side of the
planet, the rest of us prefer to eat one chicken a
day –even if that chicken
is sickly, flabby and practically tasteless– than one
chicken a month that has
been raised in the wild.
As a consequence, nobody
in their right minds these
days takes the trouble to
feed and maintain freerange chickens like the
ones our grandparents
used to eat.
Among those most seriously affected by the substitution of craftsmanship by
industry are theologians.
More and more, they are
being forced to abandon
their obession with sex
and more or less unorthodox sexual practice –an
understandable obsession,
without doubt, given their
celibate lifestyle– and focus
their attention instead on
the total lack of soul found
in mass-produced items.
The reason being that we
are inevitably being affected by this lack, and, if we
have no souls, theologians
will have nowhere to go
but the dole office.

Age Appropriate
Sometimes you have a
birthday and feel that
the age doesn’t suit you.
Personally, I was okay
up to about 40, but every
digit after that seemed
worrisome. I began to
think those things your
mother used to say – Can
I still wear this? Is the
bar brightly lit? Do you
say ‘groovy’ anymore?
And ageing is clearly
sexist. Women can’t do
‘rugged’. Less men feel
compelled to base their
job prospects on their
looks, and subsequently get into plastic surgery as a form of career
maintenance. The cliché
of the boss running off
with the young secretary
clearly isn’t about her
dictation skills.
The downhill slide is
more noticeable if you
had a perky frontage previously. I was astounded
to discover recently that
scientists believe breasts
were impermanent prePleistocene times; they
inflated and deflated like
summer lilo’s. In fact,
men would have actually found them a turnoff since they signalled
a woman was already
impregnated. And, once
they had served their
purpose for baby’s nutrition, they would have
dwindled away.
Imagine the horror! Not
only crows feet (read:
laughter lines) and chin
hairs (read: erm, chin
hairs) but disappearing
boobs to signal that the
prime of your life is over.
So, maybe we should be
grateful for evolution
– for turning breasts into
our life-long pals. After
all, there isn’t much that
a push-up bra and a pair
of high heels can’t solve.
Ageing must work from
top to bottom for a reason. Babies grow proportionately from their
head downwards i.e.
first the brain and nervous system develop,
then the limbs elongate
and strengthen, until
the child can sit, then
stand, then walk.
Similarly, we age that
way – face and hair show
the first signs of deterioration, but we are left
with lovely knees. Who
among us hasn’t had that
awful shock when admiring a shapely pair of legs
only to be startled when
an ancient toothless
crone’s face is attached?
No? Just me then.
Perhaps there is a clue
in the way our relationships need to develop.
As babies, our wide-eyed
innocence is designed
to appeal to the parents nurturing instinct,
and ensure that we are
looked after to grow into
adulthood. As we age,
find a life partner, and
produce a family, there
comes a time when
attracting a mate is no
longer useful. Our looks
decline so that we can
concentrate on more
cerebral tasks without
distraction. Luckily, our

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
And learn to spit.”

A little sister for Leonor
The Infanta Sofía was an instant
hit with her big sister, Leonor.
Letizia has named the new bundle
of joy after the queen, to thank
her mother-in-law for the invaluable support she gave the princess as a newlywed.
By Samantha Kett
Pictures: EFE
Anyone who was glued to the
tennis on Sunday may have
noticed, as Rafa Nadal battled it out with Argentinean
rival Guillermo Cañas, the
Infanta Cristina take a call
on her mobile and then
whisper something to her
husband.
As the Conde de Godó
tournament carried on,
its spectators blissfully
unaware, crowds of camera-clicking reporters gathered outside a hospital in the
capital, their collars turned
up against the rain whilst
munching chicken sandwiches.
In the meantime, Queen
Sofía was boarding a plane
from Moscow where she had
been at the funeral of violinist Mstislav Rostropóvich
with her sister, Princess
Irene of Greece, and fellow
grandma-to-be
Paloma
Rocasolano was already
hotfooting it to Madrid’s
Clínica Ruber in her car.
Four and a half hours
after Princess Letizia
was admitted to hospital, the media received a
text message from the
Royal Household reading,
“Zarzuela Press. 17.28
hrs. HRH the Princess of
Asturias has given birth to
a girl.”
For the first time in the
history of the Spanish
royal family, the gender of
a royal baby was known
before the birth.
Later that night, Prince
Felipe revealed that his new
daughter had been born by
caesarian section, weighing
3.31 kilos (7lb 5oz) and measuring 50cm (19.5”), and
that mother and baby were
both doing fine following
a relatively quick labour
with no complications.
Letizia’s mum, Paloma
Rocasolano, was by her
daughter’s side throughout
the birth, although it would
take another two days for
the rest of the extended
family to come trickling in
through the doors of the
clinic to coo over the new
royal.
The Infanta Cristina’s
three children, Juan, Pablo
and Miguel, on seeing their
newborn cousin, asked
unceasing questions such
as “why hasn’t she got
teeth?” and “why is she so
small?”
Eighteen-month-old
Leonor, born on Hallowe’en
in 2005, visited her little
sister for the first time on
Tuesday with proud dad
Felipe who announced that
the bond between the girls
was instantaneous. Leonor
was clearly in raptures
with the new addition to
the household, not at all
jealous – despite inevitable
worries about sibling rivalry – and very reluctant to
walk away and get back in
the car with her father.
As well as being able to
grow up together, the proximity in age of Leonor and
her sister will also have
some very practical benefits, as the Infanta Cristina
was quick to point out.
“They’ll be able to wear
each others’ cast-offs, like
these three,” commented
the Duchess of Palma de
Mallorca, who described
the new baby girl as ‘gorgeous’ and said she ‘looks
just like Leonor’.
BIG SISTER: Leonor is over the moon with baby Sofía
“I had no idea she was
going to be named after
me”
Naturally, speculation
was rife for the next 36
hours about what the new
baby was going to be called.
All anybody knew was that
she would be an ‘Infanta’
PROUD GRANDPARENTS: King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía are thrilled with
the latter’s new namesake
like her sister, although
Leonor will become the
36th Princess of Asturias
when Felipe is crowned
King of Spain.
The title ‘Infante’, or
‘Infanta’ in the feminine, is
given to all children of the
King who do not hold the
title of Prince or Princess
of Asturias, and to all
children of the latter who,
again, are not classed as
princes or princesses. It is
a title that can also be granted, exceptionally, to others
whom the royal family consider worthy of it.
Unlike in many other
countries,
‘Prince’
or
‘Princess’ is a title only
held by those members of
the royal family directly in
line to the throne and their
spouses – as is the case
with Felipe, the eldest son
of reigning monarch King
Juan Carlos.
Additionally, the question
of changing the Spanish
Constitution to allow firstborn females to take precedence over any younger
brothers they may have in
terms of succession to the
throne – an issue that was
raised after the birth of
Leonor – will not be so pressing, given that the newborn is a girl. There will
be no hurry to rectify this
unless and until Letizia has
a boy.
As for the new Infanta’s
christian name, barely had
the umbilical cord been
cut than Spanish national
daily El País opened a discussion forum on its website for readers to come up
with their own suggestions.
There were a number who
proposed Érika, in homage
to Letizia’s sister who tragically took her own life at
the beginning of February
aged just 31.
One reader, who identified himself as José, said
the Infanta should be called
Mayte after his girlfriend
whose birthday it was that
day; another, Marisa, declared, “as long as it isn’t Isabel
or Almudena, I couldn’t
care less,” whilst a few felt
she should be given a more
everyday, run-of-the-mill
name given that Leonor is
relatively unique.
“Let’s have a nice, normal name, now – like
Gumersinda,” jokes a reader who prefers to remain
anonymous.
It was those members of
the public keen for the baby
to be named Sofía, after her
grandmother, who won the
debate.
The Queen was clearly
delighted at the Prince and
Princess’ decision, which
was partly driven by the latter as a sign of her gratitude
to Sofía for her unending
support in helping Letizia
adapt to her new life when
she married Felipe. Queen
Sofía, who said her namesake ‘doesn’t cry much’,
confessed that she had had
no idea that her eighth grandchild would be baptised in
her honour.
Although most of the
country has been champing
at the bit to see the baby
pictures, Letizia is in no fit
state to be photographed
so soon after a caesarian
operation and is unlikely to
appreciate seeing her drawn
and tired, if undeniably contented, face in the world’s
glossies until she has had
time to humanise herself.
According to the Royal
Household, the Princess
and her new bundle of joy
– along with an exhausted but happy Felipe and
Paloma – should leave the
clinic this afternoon, taking
with them a huge collection
of stuffed toys, flowers and
balloons – presents from
official figures from far and
wide to welcome Sofía into
the world.

Beniarjó: Home of a legend
Small it may be, but this often overlooked La Safor village boasts plenty of homegrown talent and a wealth of
colourful and cosmopolitan
fiestas...
By Samantha Kett
Given its diminutive size
– the last census four years
ago revealed that there
were just 1,288 inhabitants
– it comes as a surprise to
learn that Beniarjó was
the birthplace of one of
the Comunitat Valenciana’s most venerated writers and had strong links
to the renowned King Alfonso the Great. Fiercely
proud of their local history and their region’s values and culture, eighty per
cent of beniarjoleros speak
valenciano as their first
language.
Originally a Moorish settlement, it was first recorded under the name of Benizerjó and came under the
jurisdiction of Gandia until it became emancipated
from the town’s rule, along
with Almoines, in the midsixteenth century. Nowadays, Beniarjó’s economy
is largely based on agriculture, particularly citrus
farming, given the abundant orange groves along
the banks of the river Serpis. This said, more and
more new companies are
setting up in the village, a
factor that has lead to its
steady population growth
over the last few years.
Poetic injustice
Beniarjó’s greatest claim
to fame is arguably that
of being the birthplace
of Ausiàs March, in 1397.
One of the most renowned
poets of Mediaeval Spain,
March was born into a
noble family of distinguished writers, including
his father, Pedro; his uncle,
Jaime, and his cousin Arnau. Lord of Beniarjó and
neighbouring
Pardines
and Verniga, Ausiàs had
already been knighted at
the age of 22 by Alfonso
V who he served for many
years, taking part in expeditions to Corsica and
Cerdeña and working for
the King’s company in
Sicily and North Africa,
chasing pirates away from
the Spanish coast. As well
as being a loyal servant of
Alfonso the Great, Ausiàs
was a great personal friend
of his and fellow lover of
literature.
Ausiàs married Isabel Martorell in 1437, the sister of
Joan Martorell, author of
Valencian classic Tirant lo
Blanch – a novel that is indisputably the region’s answer to Don Quijote insofar
as it is the epitome of the
Comunitat’s literary history. Their domestic bliss was
short-lived as Isabel died
two years later – in fact,
Ausiàs had very little luck
in marriage, since his second wife, Joana Escorna,
also passed away in 1443.
Although neither of the two
women left him an heir, the
poet is recorded as having
four illegitimate children,
presumably thanks to the
number of concubines he
kept.
Ausiàs left us 128 poems
in total, all in valenciano
in the original and breaking with the contemporary
tradition of pastoral literature. His works are, ironically, an analysis of morals
and read as a tragic and anguished fight between good
and bad. Difficult to interpret, Ausiàs’ verse centres
on sin and virtue, pain and
death, being heavily influenced by Aristotle, Dante
and Petrarch.
His poems did not become
widespread until long after
his death in 1459 – in fact,
they were not translated
into castellano until a century later. However, to the
people of La Safor, he was
and will continue to be
an icon, with streets and
buildings and even a high
school in Gandia named
after him.
In his town of birth, Beniarjó, the family palace
BENIARJÓ: A small town with big literary traditions
is little more than a ruin
now. It passed into the
hands of the Medinacelis,
who also had a palace in
El Verger next to the Cremallera tower, in the 17th
century. The new owners
systematically dismantled
the building in order to
sell the construction materials. Oddly enough, the
best-preserved part is the
cistern used to supply water to the palace – this has
been restored and is now a
tourist attraction.
Even the Sant Marc chapel, annexed to the palace,
was demolished when
the church of Sant Joan
Baptista was built in the
mid-twentieth
century.
This new place of worship
also doubles up as an art
gallery, where a permanent exhibition of local
works is on display.
Street sounds swirling
through the town
It is hardly a revelation
that Ausiàs March’s na-
N
tive town would somehow
honour him in its annual
fiestas. Every April, at
the same time as the festival of traditional music
and dance, the Senyoriu
d’Ausiàs March poetry
competition is held and
awards given in their
unofficial patron saint’s
name. Another music and
dance festival takes place
in the second half of
August and, like the first,
involves
participants
from Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia performing their indigenous
arts in the street – an
event not to be missed for
anyone who is fascinated
by popular culture on a
global level.
Also in April is the fiesta
of Sant Marc, the ‘official’
patron saint, where the
Ball de la Bandera (dance
of the flag) and les Caixes
de sant Marc, both dances
that originate from 15thcentury Florence, are performed in the open air.
N
Ausiàs in English
The works of Ausiàs March have been translated
into English for the first
time in their 500-year history and a tri-lingual edition (in Spanish, English
and valenciano) will shortly hit the shelves.
Translator of the English
text, Manuel Ángel Conejero Dionís-Bayer, a playwright, drama teacher
and university dean, won
an OBE for his Spanish
translation of the works
of Shakespeare in 1992.
Look out for Ausiàs in a
bookshop near you.
A mad man’s art?
First verse of Ausiàs March’s poem, Quien no está
triste deje mi lectura, in castellano and in English:
Quien no está triste deje mi lectura
o en algún tiempo no haya triste estado,
y el que es de males mal apasionado,
obscuridad no busque a su tristura.
Lea mis versos, mi razón turbada,
sin algún arte muestra de hombre loco,
y la razón que en tal dolor me apoco
sábela amor, por quien la causa es dada.
AUSIÀS: Friend of royalty and literary legend
Whoever is not sad, stop reading my words
Or who has never sad been,
And who is sick with passion
Look not for darkness in your sadness.
Read my verses, my perturbed reason,
If it reveals any of a mad man’s art
And the reason that, in so much pain, daunts me
Call it love, for whom the cause is given.

Q
Q
Does
a
nilrate
band
discretionary trust still
work after the recent
UK test case?
A
The most common
form of inheritance tax (IHT) planning in the UK between
married couples is now
under threat as a result
of a recent test case.
The way in which the
scheme is set up requires
a married couple to place
the value of the family
home into a discretionary trust for the heirs
on the first death of the
couple - up to the nilrate band currently of
£300,000 (about 450,000€)
and in the form of an
IOU.
This planning method
can save families up
to
£120,000
(around
180,000€), as it allows the
deceased spouse to pass
on money to the heirs
(commonly the children)
through the trust, rather
than first leaving the sum
to their husband or wife
which simply increases
the IHT liability upon
second death. The property must also be owned
as Tenants in Common
for this to work.
However, in the test
case of Phizackerley v
HMRC, which was heard
in February, it was ruled
that the money owed by
Mr Phizackerley to the
trust set up under his
wife’s will did not qualify as a reduction in the
value of his estate on
his death. The judgment
turned on the fact that he
had apparently funded
the property entirely, as
his wife who died first
had not worked or contributed financially during the marriage. It is not
possible to determine the
broader impact of this
case however as it can
be distinguished on its
facts, although it is safe
to say that it has brought
uncertainty to what was
once a tried and tested
means of reducing IHT.

The need to take independent legal advice
at an early stage when
dealing with the administration of an English
will is clear. Subject to
time limits a Deed of
Variation can be entered
into whereby the provisions of the will can be
varied by the named beneficiaries and any new
beneficiaries. It may still
be beneficial to create a
discretionary trust by
means of the Deed of
Variation route and the
tax savings can be significant, although each
situation will be different and specialist advice
is required.
I hope the above is useful, and please feel free

When buying a
property, is it
wise to pay over money
without the advice of
a lawyer?
We have put down a
£3,000 (4,500€) deposit for
an unbuilt property in
San Javier, Murcia. Next
month we are to pay 35
per cent of the costs.
We have not engaged
a lawyer as we have
been told it will not
be necessary until the
final payment is due
in June 2008.
Is this correct or is
it unwise to pay over
this money without
the advice of a lawyer?
A
It would be wise
to find a solicitor
to verify all aspects of
the purchase. I will summarise the situations
which I have encountered in my experience
as a solicitor dealing
with conveyancing:
 Buyer buys property
with charges, encumbrances and other
debts.
 Buyer buys property
that has never been
registered.
 Buyer buys a property
with perfectly clean
title, registered, taxes
paid up to date: how-
ever, the property they
bought is not the one
they had seen. They
had relied on a description and some land
registry details which
simply corresponded
to another property.
 Buyer hands over a
deposit to someone
purporting to be
owner, who subsequently disappears.
 Buyer purchases a
property with tenants living legally.
They decided not to
use their priority
rights to purchase the
property and substitute the purchaser,
but they stayed in
the house for a while,
using the protection

 Buyer buys from
developer and hands
over 35 per cent of the

developer’s company
is wound up, and the
buyer is still litigating
for his money back,

As you can see, many
things may go wrong, all
of which can be avoided

you should always look
for an independent lawyer when purchasing

Beth’s silver
Beth Tweddle of England
took silver in the women’s
floor exercise at the European Artistic Championships.
Tweddle, who chose not to

as she recovers from shoulder surgery, was beaten by
Italian all-round champion
Vanessa Ferrari.
Ferrari scored 15.400 to pip
Tweddle on 15.250, while
Alina Kozich of Ukraine

England’s James Toseland
extended his lead in the
World Superbikes championship to 32 points with a victory and second place at the
Dutch Grand Prix in Assen.
The Ten Kate Honda rider
dominated race one, only
briefly losing the lead to
Troy Bayliss before coming
home ahead of Nori Haga
and Rubén Xaus.
Race two was closer, with
Toseland and Bayliss locked
in a tense battle.
The lead changed hands
four times on lap 20 before
Bayliss snatched victory
from Toseland right on the

Toseland missed out on his

TWO-GOAL JOAQUÍN

The top three La Liga teams
won at the weekend but
Barcelona made hard work
of beating Valencia’s Levante 1 - 0.
A first half goal by Eto’o

fighting relegation, also
created chances to at least
gain a draw.
Sevilla held on to second

Valencia moved back up to

The visitors are chasing a
European spot themselves,
held their own until a defence splitting pass on 60
minutes from David Villa
created Joaquín’s first goal
at the Mestalla.
Three minutes later the

Rafael wins battle of the surfaces
Rafael Nadal edged arch-rival Roger Federer in a thrilling
decider in the “battle of the surfaces” in Mallorca.
The world’s top two players slugged it out in an exhibition
match on a half-clay, half-grass court before the Spaniard
prevailed 7-5 4-6 7-6 (12-10).
Nadal broke Federer on both grass and clay to take the opening set before the Swiss broke on clay to level the match.
The players traded breaks in the third set before clay king
Nadal edged out the grass master in a tie-break.
Federer, Wimbledon champion for the last four years, has
won 48 consecutive matches on grass, while double French
Open champion Nadal has won 72 straight matches on clay.
Nadal became only the second player to win the Barcelona
Open three times in a row after beating Guillermo Cañas 6-3
6-4 in Sunday’s final.
One break in each set was enough to give Nadal victory
and help the Spaniard emulate the achievements of former
world number one Mats Wilander.
It extended his record-winning streak on clay to 72 matches.
The world number two has now won 20 career titles, 15 of
them on clay.
cap Arthur
has died
aged 79
The last man to play both
football and cricket for England has been given parliamentary recognition, a
week after his death.
Arthur Milton, who died
aged 79 in Bristol, made six
Test appearances for England between 1958 and 1959.
His sole cap for the national
football side came in a 2-2
draw with Austria in 1951.
MP David Drew has tabled
a Commons motion, recognising what he said was
a ‘great contribution to
sport’.
He described him as “a true
son of the West Country”
who remained a gentleman
throughout.
As a footballer, Mr Milton
scored 21 goals in 84 appearances for Arsenal and was a
member of their First Division title-winning side in
1953.
He joined Bristol City in
February 1955, helping
them to promotion to the
old Division Two before retiring from the game at the
end of that season.
In cricket, he enjoyed a
successful 26-year career
with Gloucestershire, and
took one cap for England in
1951.
Milton captained the side in
1968 and scored more than
32,000 first-class runs at an
average of 33.
A keen follower of greyhound racing in his later
years, he remained a hugely popular figure in Bristol
sporting circles.
Gooners
win cup
Arsenal Ladies became the
first British club to win the
UEFA Women’s Cup after a
tense second-leg stalemate.
The Gunners rode their
luck at times, Umea substitute Ramona Bachmann
hitting the post and Marta
curling a free kick against
the bar.
Home keeper Emma Byrne
also denied Bachmann,
while Jayne Ludlow headed
Arsenal’s best chance just
wide.
Alex Scott’s first-leg winner
proved the difference as Arsenal were crowned champions of Europe.

La Nucía
just too
good for
Jávea
Missed opportunity
Torrevieja 1 Castellón 1
La NucÍa 3 Jávea 0
Just two points now
separate Jávea from the
unthinkable: relegation to
the Primera Regional.
La NucÍa have proved
that a bit of money and a
bit of organisation can do
wonders.
They’ve taken the Regional
Preferente by storm and led
the table for much of the
campaign.
Although there is no
automatic promotion to the
Third Division, it is likely
that they will be one of the
favourites to win a second
successive promotion.
La NucÍa bundled home
the opener when Chamorro
Jávea kept plugging away
and Juanma had a great
chance but his effort was
saved and seconds later Álex
Cuadrado powered a header
into the side netting.
La Nucía were all over
Jávea in the second period
and just before the hour
gained a penalty converted
by Line.
Then Izquierdo found space
on the left-hand side of the
box and made it 3 - 0.
As the game drew to its
inevitable conclusion, both
David Ivars and substitute
Salva Costa had halfchances but failed to give
their fans anything to cheer
about.
Future is in
the balance
We are now unfortunately
in the middle of a relegation
battle that will shape the
future of the club, writes
Mark Catlin. This will be
even more difficult as three
of our last four games are
against teams fighting for
a play-off spot, although
three of these games are
at home.
So all these people that tell
me Jávea are too big a club
to go down had better wake
up and smell the coffee.
In football you reap what
you sow and in honesty I
was defending our recent
run of draws because in
a relegation battle you
need to grind out results,
which to our credit we were
doing.
But in the last few weeks
this has stopped and once
again we have adopted the
losing habit.
This has to stop and stop
now.
There can be no excuses,
the players of our club have
to pull the shirt on and for
the next four games be willing to die for it.
This does not mean they
have to become an undisciplined bunch of psychos,
but it does mean that they
have to work and battle for
every tackle as if their lives
depended on it.
Managerless Torry earned a
point but should have come
away with all three, writes
Andrés Hermida.
There were incredible misses by Santi Villa and Sorian
but they lacked any attacking fluency.
With Fernando and Pedro
Cordero in charge the 2,000
crowd hoped for a more attacking play, but in the first
half Corcoles was left alone
again being manhandled by
some giant defenders, especially in the first 15 minutes.
But Torry only had themselves to blame for not grabbing the opportunities when
they arose.
Santi Villa took a free kick
outside the box in the 15th
minute but it went just over
the bar, and Torry were determined to take the game to
the visitors.
They earned their first corner in the 19th minute when
Meijide shot over and two
minutes Santi Villa fired
straight at the keeper when
he should have scored.
Castellón went ahead in the
35th minute when Arana
scored from a free kick but
their joy was short-lived
when a minute later a clearance found Corcoles, although being hassled by a
defender, managed to push
the ball pass the keeper for
the equaliser.
In the second half Castellón began to play possession
football and Torry started to
back pedal.
In the 60th minute Torry
sent on Iván Ángel comes on
for Polanco.
Santi Villa moved to the left
wing and Soriano into the
middle to partner Corcoles,
and suddenly the four-man
attack began to charge
the visitors’ goal. But two
misses the first in the 71st
minute an unmarked Santi
Villa fired wide from in front
IN CONTROL: Torry’s Corcoles on the ball
of goal and Soriano did the
same thing in the 78th.
Torry continued to attack
but try as they might they
were unable to get the breakthrough.
As a consequence continue
to stumble into the play-offs,
especially with Novelda winning 4 - 1.
They are only two points
behind Torry but Ontinyent drew 3 - 3 at home with
Torry’s next opponents, Puzol, and Torry stay level on
points with them.
Villarreal won 2 - 0 at Dolores so they are now three

Promotion dream ends
as Altea miss chances
Thader 2 Altea 1
Altea have all but kissed
goodbye to promotion to
the Third division after
this narrow defeat to an excellent Thader side, writes
Matthew Bell.
Only two points have been
gained in the last three
games, all against high-flying opponents and so far
Altea have lost 19 points at
home this season.
A draw would have been a
good result against a team
had won 11 out of the last
13.
Thader tore into Carrete’s
men and after seven minutes Pascual sliced a clearance straight to Víctor who
lashed it into the net.
Wave after wave of attack
was launched but Altea
started to play good football, Mario gained a grip
on the midfield while Mara
and Manu looked a threat
upfront. Four times the
linesman’s flag stopped Altea in their tracks and the
agitation amongst the home
fans was evident as Altea
came more and more into
the game. In a carbon copy
of the winning goal against
Hércules Mario picked up
the ball, evaded a couple
of challenges and played
in Ángel who levelled the
scores just before the half
time whistle.
The second half saw some
more excellent football and
Altea must have had 70 per
cent of the play, but could
not land a killer blow.
The ball was moved around
well and Thader seemed
quite content with the
score, sitting back and absorbing the pressure from
the visitors who had not
lost away from home for six
months.
The game’s turning point
came with 15 minutes to go
as Parra slalomed his way
into the box and fizzed over
a cross which managed to
evade both Mara, Manu and
Ángel who all slid in to apply the finishing touch.
In the 79th minute Mario
lost possesion in midfield,
the ball was passed down
the inside channel for
Adrián to beat the onrushing Tomás to win the game.

Marlon out
West Indies have sprung a
surprise by dropping batsman Marlon Samuels for
the forthcoming Test series
in England.
The selectors have chosen
a 15-man squad which includes five pacemen and two
seam-bowling all-rounders,
but no specialist spinner is
named.
Ravi Rampaul and Darren
Sammy, who have appeared
in one-day internationals
but not Tests, have been selected.
The side will be captained
by batsman Ramnaresh
Sarwan and the first of four
Tests begins at Lord’s on
May 17.
Iván quits
Iván Basso has quit the Discovery Channel team following the reopening of an
investigation into his role
in a Spanish doping scandal.
The Giro d’Italia champion
asked to be released immediately from his contract,
citing personal reasons.
He faces an Italian Olympic Committee hearing on
Wednesday on charges of
having used or attempted to
use a banned substance or
method.
Basso, who has always denied doping, was suspended
by his team last week.
He said: “It is important
that everyone knows this
was 100 per cent my decision.”
Tim in jail
Former world 100 metres
recordholder Tim Montgomery faces up to four
years in jail after admitting
his role in a scheme that involved backing counterfeit
cheques worth about 3.5
million euros.
Montgomery set the record
in 2002 but was stripped of
it in 2005 after he was found
guilty of using banned substances.
Eleven other people have
been charged.

LIVERPOOL IN
ATHENS FINAL
The dream lives on for
Liverpool but it is over for
Manchester United and
Chelsea.
Liverpool, winners of a titannic battle with Chelsea
that was decided with a
penalty shoot-out, will face
AC Milan in the Champions
League final in Athens on
May 23.
Manchester United, 3 - 2
winners at Old Trafford a
week ago, could not preserve their lead at San Siro
and were roundly beaten 3
- 0 in the second leg.
Milan scored twice in the
first half, the first coming
from the irrepressible Kaka
to add to the double he
scored in Manchester.
Seedorf added the second
and substitute Gilardino
put away the third in the
78th minute.
Kaka was the key to Milan’s
victory as he outshone Cristiano Ronaldo.
United’s patched up defence,
without Río Ferdinand,
looked shaky throughout
and the result was that it always looked likely to crack
under pressure.
Likewise the United attack
malfunctioned with Ronaldo and Rooney rarely
promising to make a breakthrough.
Chelsea’s dreams of an un-
MAN OF THE MATCH: AC Milan star Kaka
precented four trophies in a
season took another knock
when Dirk Kuyt cancelled
out Joe Cole’s Stamford
Bridge goal.
The teams battled through
to the penalty shoot-out
where Pepe Reina became
Liverpool’s hero, saving two
penalties to see his team
safely into the Athens final.
It remains to be seen if Steven Gerrard can lift the trophy a second time as he believes his team is stronger.
Veterans stage showpieces in Elche and Dénia
Dénia Veterans travelled
to Elche to play a triangular tournament with Dings
Crusaders from Bristol and
the host club.
The first match saw a rather
jaded Dings narrowly beat
Elche by three tries to two.
The second match saw Dé-
nia also overcome the hosts
by three tries to one.
The last game was played at
a sedentary pace with neither side showing much enthusiasm for contact but the
touring team from Bristol
scored three tries to make
them champions.
On Sunday Dénia hosted
Boitsfort Veterans from Belgium and Wallingford (UK).
The late withdrawal of
Combe Down (UK) did little
to dampen the enthusiasm
of all the teams in a truly international day for the club.
The Dénia v Boitsfort game
was the closest with a narrow 17 - 10 victory for the
home side.
Wallingford who have just
won their League proved a
little too strong. A 24 - 7 win
against Boitsfort Vets and
a 21 - 7 win over Dénia saw
Wallingford triumphant.
Great win
puts Vila
almost in
second
division
La Vila gained a spectacular triumph in the first leg
of the final play-off game
to decide the team to be
promoted to the Spanish
second division − División
Honor B.
The Villajoyosa club wanted to win by sufficient
points to take an unassailable advantage into the
away leg next weekend in
Madrid and did so 55 - 13.
On the 20th minute mark
winger fly half Pablo
scored the opening try,
converted by Agustín
Gómez.
Two minutes later flanker
Steve Herrington notched
the second but Gómez
missed the conversion.
Arquitectura then scored
two penalties but La Vila
then turned up the pressure for an unconverted
try in the far corner.
Then Fernando Cabanillas
scored the final try of the
half, converted by Agustín
Gómez for a half time score
of 24 – 6.
In the second half man of
the match Agustín Gómez
scored in the corner and
converted.
He then converted a penalty try and from the restart
Vila fullback Óscar David
scored a converted try followed by an unconverted
try from Hooker Pablo. Fly
half Pablo Pereyra then
made a 50 metre break
which resulted in a penalty and an unconverted
try for Lucas Merino.
Arquitectura scored a consolation try.
The second leg in Madrid
is on Sunday at 12.00 hrs.
The club is organising
a bus for supporters to
Madrid on Sunday leaving
at 05.00 hrs. Return ticket
30.00 euros.
The juniors travel to
Marbella for the second
leg of the Spanish championship semi-finals.

Manchester City midfielder
Ousmane Dabo is threatening legal action against
team-mate Joey Barton
following their training
ground bust-up on Tuesday.
Dabo, 31, was left unconscious and with a bruised
eye after Barton’s attack.
“I went to turn around, he
hit me and knocked me out.
He is a despicable coward,
it wasn’t a fair fight,” Dabo
told L’Equipe. “I am disfigured.
“This is why I am in serious
talks with my lawyers to see
what I can do. This should
not be allowed to happen.”
