<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">From time to time, I receive a call or an email from someone asking me what's going on with the electricity bill. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Normally the client think that the electrical company is charging him much more that it could be expected for an apartment that is not in use. For that reason I was looking some information in order to explain in <strike><b>simple words</b></strike> what's going on in the Spanish electrical business:</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Spain’s electricity bills are among the highest in Europe, having risen 70 percent between 2006 and 2014. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The government says the main problem is the enormous electricity deficit – the difference between the sum paid by electricity companies to power generators and the amount they recoup from their customers. This has occurred as a consequence of subsidies to promote renewables, including high feed-in tariffs to power generators.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What is the rate deficit? What is the annual fee for the rate deficit?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The rate deficit is the difference between the real cost of power production, distribution and delivery and the price paid by consumers through their electricity bill, which is less, and consequently, does not cover that real cost. Through a Government decision, this difference is paid for “in instalments” and is reflected in the electricity bills of following years, with their price, therefore, increasing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Currently, payment is still outstanding on a deficit of 26 million euros accumulated over preceding years. In 2013, an additional deficit has been generated to date in the amount of almost 4.5 million euros, although the Government hopes that once all of the year’s costs and revenues have been accounted for, this figure will decrease to just 3.6 million. The Government has adopted different measures in order to correct the disparity by sharing the burden among electricity firms, special regime producers (solar, wind, etc.,) and consumers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The higher the accumulated deficit, the higher this amount is. In 2013, it has meant almost 3 million euros, which represents more than €5 out of every €100 paid by domestic customers on their bill.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The bill also shows other costs not directly related to the provision of electricity: direct and indirect taxes, subsidies and payment of the rate deficit.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Which taxes are included in the electricity bill?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Currently two types of taxes are paid directly on your electricity bill. On one hand, VAT, which for electricity is set at the maximum rate of 21%. On the other hand, the Electricity Tax, used to finance the Autonomous Communities.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The sum total of all these taxes represents 29% of the electricity bill, which is much more than the standard 21% VAT.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What are the subsidies for renewable energies?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Subsidies for renewable energies represent more than €18 out of every €100 paid on the electricity bill.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">However, the increases in taxes and other charges not directly related to the electricity supply (such as subsidies for renewables, payment of the accumulated deficit, or taxes included in the electricity bill), have increased by 189% since 2005.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>The Electrical Auction Scandal </u></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Following two price rises in August and October of 2013, generated by the energy auction lobby, electricity companies announced just before Christmas of that year that prices would go up a further 11 percent in January 2014; in the face of the outcry that followed, the government intervened, preventing the increase. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>But how does the energy auction work?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The energy auction called CESUR it was run by OMIE (the Operator of the Iberian Energy Market - Spanish Pole) and is supervised by the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC).</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This auction was held every three months, and its price was used to establish the tariff that consumers with the last resort tariff will pay. At this auction, the buyers are last resort traders, and the sellers are financial institutions, or national as well as international companies involved in electricity generation or trading.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Several weeks before the auction, the last resort traders give the CNMC their forecasts of their customers’ consumption for the following quarter. The CNMC analyses this information together with the Ministry of Industry, deciding how much energy will be bought at the auction, and publishing a Resolution convening the auction and stating the date of the auction and the amount of energy intended for purchase.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Companies interested in participating as sellers must be previously accredited by the auction Administrator (OMIE).</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Administrator establishes the starting price, and sellers bid for the amount that they are prepared to sell at that price. The total sum of these bids (energy offered) is greater than the energy auctioned (intended for purchase). At this point, a series of rounds begin at which first the Administrator reduces the price, and then the sellers adjust their bids downwards (reduce the amount of energy that they offer). At the end of each round, the Administrator compares the energy offered with that intended for sale, and if there is still a surplus on offer, a new round begins. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was suspected that the different actors in the electrical pool, were fixing prices around a 30% above the real price of generating that electricity, and when the people figure out that, the government decide to change the rules. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>OK, I can see where they are going, but where we are now?:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">After a year of study an as stipulated in the new regulations of the Government, as of July 1, 2015 until October 1, 2015, it starts the new method of billing electricity for hours, whereby power companies to bill customers based on consumption of light make every hour to check prices applying at the time the energy market.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Billing by the hour you pay a different price for what you use each time. These prices are published daily by Red Eléctrica de Spain (REE). That is, REE daily publishes on its website - www.ree.es - from 20:15 hours, prices of energy for hours the next day. Even you will see the prices of previous days.</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The electricity bill for the average consumer (366 kWh/month at 4.4 kW) per month has gone up from 71,46 euro in May 2014 to 74,50 euro in May 2015. This marks an increase of 3,04 euro.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">According to consumer rights organization Facua, the cost of electricity per kWh consumed has increased 5.8%, while the price of the kW of power contracted has remained the same since February 2014 (the date on which it went up 17.9%).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">On a month-upon-month basis, the average person’s electricity bill, which was approximately 76,10 euro in April 2015, dropped 2.1% the following month. The kW has remained at the same price as mentioned previously, and the kWh fell 2.8% in May in comparison to the previous month.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Facua has asked the Government to step in and ensure that electricity prices are fixed at their real cost and that the consumer is no longer subjected to price hikes whenever the electricity companies feel like implementing them.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The organization has also called for electricity companies to stick to the EU Court of Justice regulations that stipulate that consumers should be informed of any price increases before they are actually enforced – something that does not happen in Spain.</span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So, as you can see, there is not a simple explanation, but you can clearly figure out a few things about this situation: </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">A) Even if you have your property with the electricity off, you will receive a bill that will be <b><u>up to the 60%</u> </b>of the one you receive if you are there. This costs are for pay taxes and other costs and not for consume. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">B) If you only let your fridge plug you are going to pay around the 30% of the average consume, as it is one of the appliances that more electricity needs. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">C) The system change, so its difficult to compare last year numbers with the actual ones. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">D) The higher your power contract is, more are you going to pay in fix costs.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">D) <b><u>Spanish electrical system sucks</u></b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jellyfishes are free-swimming, non-aggressive, gelatinous marine animals surrounded by tentacles. These tentacles are covered with sacs that are filled with poison that can cause a painful sting. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Their natural habitat is more than two nautical miles off the shoreline, but what (we saw recently) is what happens when there is little rainfall in spring and the temperatures are very high as they reproduce more, making it more likely that they reach the coast and appear as swarms. In addition, with the ongoing problems of overfishing and pollution which kill-off their natural predators, you have the ideal conditions for a jellyfish invasion.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jellyfish are usually found near the surface of the water during times of diminished light, floating in the water column, or after washing up on the beach. Jellyfish stings are generally accidental and a relatively common problem for people swimming, wading or diving in seawaters. The long tentacles trailing from the jellyfish body can inject you with venom from thousands of microscopic barbed stingers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jellyfish stings vary greatly in severity. Most often they result in immediate pain and red, irritated marks on the skin. Some jellyfish stings may cause more whole-body (systemic) illness. And<u><b> in very rare cases</b></u> jellyfish stings are life-threatening.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Common signs and symptoms of jellyfish stings include:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Burning, prickling, stinging pain</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Red, brown or purplish tracks on the skin — a "print" of the tentacles' contact with your skin</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The type and size of the jellyfish</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Your age, size and health, with severe reactions more likely in children and people in poor health</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>How much of your skin is affected</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>When to see a doctor</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Seek emergency treatment if:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stings cover large areas of skin</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You have severe symptoms or a serious allergic reaction</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A rash or other skin reaction due to delayed hypersensitivity may be treated with oral antihistamines or corticosteroids.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A jellyfish sting occurring on or near an eye requires immediate medical care for pain control and a good eye flushing. You will likely be seen by a doctor specializing in eye care (ophthalmologist).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Most stings can be treated with these simple remedies:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Remove stingers. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Remove any pieces of jellyfish tentacle in your skin by rinsing the wound with seawater. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You can also try gently scraping off the stingers with the edge of an ID card or a credit card. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Avoid getting sand on the wound. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>And don't rinse with fresh water or rub the area with a towel, as these actions may activate more stingers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Rinse with vinegar or apply a baking soda paste. Rinse the affected area with vinegar for about 30 seconds. Or apply a paste of baking soda and seawater. Each method may deactivate the stingers of some types of jellyfish.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Take a hot shower or apply ice packs. Hot water — as hot as you can tolerate but not above 45ºC (113 F) — and ice packs may help ease pain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Take a pain reliever and apply lotions. Apply calamine lotion or lidocaine to help relieve itching and discomfort.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Remedies to avoid</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These remedies are unhelpful or unproved:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b><u>NEVER USE TAP WATER</u></b> (this will increase the pain)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Human urine</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Meat tenderizer</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Solvents, such as formalin, ethanol and gasoline</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Pressure bandages</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you see a Jellyfish always remember to <b><u>leave the water calmly</u></b>. If you're stung, get out of the water without splashing much. This helps prevent more stingers from releasing venom. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It appears that this year we will have jellyfishes on our beaches. So you can enjoy but stay alert. If the Spanish people are not swimming and it’s a nice day, it probably means they have heard that jellyfish are nearby!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The procession is one of the most important traditions in Estepona. Will start at the Church of "Nuestra Sra. Del Carmen" <b>(1)</b> around 19:30hs and continues along the promenade, where two large groups, one of tourists and devotees of Estepona on the seashore, and the other in boats of all sizes decorated for the occasion, follow it in an atmosphere of joy and festivity. </span><br />

The Lady of Carmen continues its procession by sea, followed by all the boats crowded with people cheering, using the boat's sirens and throwing fireworks. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was once believed, that the Virgin cleared up the waters with her presence and that only after July 16 would the sea be fit for swimming in. We can clearly confirm that it was the Virgin that kicked off the swimsuit season!!.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is also an evening where all the restaurants in the city centre get packed, so if you are planning to go out to have dinner (on the Spanish dinner time, after 22:00), booking a table is recommendable. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Keep in mind that Thursday is bank holiday in Estepona. Supermarkets, banks and shops are close. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Viva la Virgen del Carmen!!</span><br />

All year round the central fountain is surrounded by terraces, with people enjoying some tapas, lunch, coffee or a good glass of wine. </span><br />

Called "House of Tejerinas" it has a central patio surrounded by columns, a balcony with arches and a lookout tower on the upper floor. It was owned by the sisters Carmen and Francisca Tejerina who donated it to become a charity hospital for the poor. The town hall took it over and for many years it was the 'Casa de Cultura' where exhibitions and courses tool place.</span><br />

beach is bounded at the west by the Torre de la Sal headland and runs to the
next headland at Bahia Dorada; it is about 40m wide. Not overly busy, this is
mainly used by the residents of the urbanizations that straddle of the coast
road. About halfway along is a large rock just out to sea. There is a
chiringuito at the western end near Torre de Sal. There is a pedestrian
promenade for most of the beach and little dedicated car access except roads in
the urbanizations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is similar to the others in the area. Bounded by the two headlands it is about
700m long and 40m wide. The established urbanization Bahia Dorada fronts the
beach. A seafront promenade was constructed recently, to protect from land
erosion in the winter storms. There is no car access to the beach. On the Bahia
Dorada headland at the east and interestingly within the estate is an old
circular watchtower. (Torre Vigia).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Natura, near Estepona, opened in 1979 and was Spain's first naturist resort.
Although the surrounding area is now largely built-up, once you step inside the
gates it's a total oasis – a village of whitewashed apartments set among lush
lawns and palm trees and a riot of jazzy geraniums and bougainvillea.
Facilities include a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, massage room
and tennis courts. Day
passes are available.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">Situated
just outside the town of Estepona, to the west of the Marina, El Cristo beach
is situated in a delightful sheltered cove, ideal for children, with two
chiringuitos. Its ideal location means longer hours of sunshine, making it a
particular favourite with serious sunbathers. This beach has become
increasingly popular in recent years and tends to get quite crowded on summer
weekends. It has a good atmosphere with music playing at two of the beach bars. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">The cove and the outer protection wall ensure the sea is warmer than the
surrounding waters. It slopes very gently and is very safe for children. There
is a lifeguard station and showers in the summer. There are two good beach
bars, the trendy Havana Beach and the more traditional Chiringuito
Lolailo. Car access is by a narrow,
steep road from a roundabout to the west of Estepona marina or town. Summer
parking at the back of the beach is chaotic, so it's best to continue a little
further to the open ground, where is always ample parking and some wild
camping. The car exit route is in this direction via Estepona Marina.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Right in
the centre of Estepona is the town's most popular beach, La Rada. It is long
and backed by a modern seafront promenade for the entire length (2.6km).
Chiringuitos (beach bars), are located all along the seafront and serve
traditional seaside fare, such as paella and fresh sardines, as well as a
choice of international-style dishes. The Marina and lighthouse are located at
the west end of La Rada beach. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Beaches councillor Susana Aragon announced that the council has received a report from the Ministry of Health with results of samples taken from local waters and sent off for analysis by a European Commission authority.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Once again, Estepona can boast having beaches in prime condition for bathing which meet all health requirements,” the councillor said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The result came as the area increased its number of blue flag beaches to four. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Blue Flag is a certification by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE)[1] that a beach or marina meets its stringent standards.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Blue Flag is a trademark owned by FEE which is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization, consisting of 65 organizations in 60 member countries in Europe, Africa, Oceania, Asia, North America and South America.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">FEE's Blue Flag criteria include standards for water quality, safety, environmental education and information, the provision of services and general environmental management criteria. The Blue Flag is sought for beaches and marinas as an indication of their high environmental and quality standards.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At the end of May, the AEAC consumers’ and environmental education association renewed the flags on La Rada, El Cristo and El Padron beaches and awarded one to El Saladillo beach for the first time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is also good to know that the lifeguard service on the beaches has begun yesterday. </span><br />

I think is important to remember where the street markets are and on which days they are in our city.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht9uxzSn0IAoYpYG9lvw_boph3ZjykG-cNNGwwa4GjvwN-I0Sy-7DPXijg6h9YlxYVqmiJa28rlR0xN8I0Saolr5FCHjnTVEAU9YdBDXw1Rp8FjWMponQkiubOSFr_jvzi2DW5uIpAniE/s1600/img_rastro1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht9uxzSn0IAoYpYG9lvw_boph3ZjykG-cNNGwwa4GjvwN-I0Sy-7DPXijg6h9YlxYVqmiJa28rlR0xN8I0Saolr5FCHjnTVEAU9YdBDXw1Rp8FjWMponQkiubOSFr_jvzi2DW5uIpAniE/s400/img_rastro1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are two markets in Estepona centre. The Wednesday market ("el rastro" as is known by locals) is held in the Avenida Puerta del Mar, this Avenue starts at the Port roundabout and ends on the big roundabout of Juan Carlos I at the entrance of the warehouses area. This is the main street market, so you can find a large variety of things there: from fruit and vegetables till hand crafts and clothes. There are some "friendly parking areas" nearby, I point some of them on the image below. (click the image to enlarge) </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Sunday market is held in the Port area. This one is smaller (and a little more expensive as its clearly prepare for the tourists), but on this one you can find more quality: paintings, decoration stuff, hand made clothes and hats, etc. You can use the same parking areas, as there is not big distance between both markets. Both of them are in the morning until noon.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sabinillas Sunday Flea Market:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On Sunday is the famous Sabinillas 'Rastro' or flea market. It is located on the New Fair Ground on the Rio Manilva Road just up from the Lidl roundabout. (GPS: 36.3764450, -5.2331070)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">There you can find a total of 287 "shops", of which most are second hand, antiques, crafts, decoration, etc. and a minority dedicated to the professional market, textile, footwear, fruits and vegetables, jewellery. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The fairground has 900 parking spaces. In addition about 200 meters from the exhibition there is another parking area with 700 spaces.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Although there is police control to avoid pickpockets, it never hurts to keep our bags and wallets under control. It is also recommendable not to bring valuable documentation (passports, credit cards that you don't need). As it is a public and crowded areas this things could happen.</span><br />

<br />
In one week Estepona will celebrate the 39th edition of the"24 horas deportivas" An event that unites all its citizens regardless of age, nationality or physical conditions in the practice of different and varied sports disciplines.<br />
<br />
But how is that an event of this nature was established?. Here you have the story of how it all began.<br />
<br />
It was in April 1977, when a group of young friends where discussing about the fondness for sports shown by the people of Estepona and regretting about the lack of areas to practice and the little interest shown by public administrations to improve this.<br />
<br />
They decided they must do something to show that sport was important for the citizens of Estepona despite the lack of facilities (at that moment they only had a football field without remodelling since it was built in the 50's, and a slab of cement that the local authorities dare to call "multi-sport facility". Therefore, they decided to protest in the most sportsmanlike way possible. They perform jointly all the activities in the "existing facilities" without stop, and they found out that they need an entire day to complete all the activities. That was the beginning of the 24hs of sport in Estepona! <br />
<br />
It was amazing to see how the people support the event. Even with sports that took place really late night. Around 1.300 athletes participated on that first edition. Seeing the absolute success of the event, the organizers decided to repeat year after year. Having more support from public administrations, shops in the area and the different sports associations.<br />
<br />
Some of the sports you can watch (or participate) during this day are: Football, Basketball, Tennis, Beach Volley, Chess, Golf, Kiteboarding, Martial arts, and a long etc.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today I would like to talk about one of the saddest realities of Spain. And how an Estepona association struggle to change this reality. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To our shame, Spain is the country with the highest percentage of dropouts pets in Europe. Each year, over 100,000 pets are kicked out of their homes (15.000 in Andalucia) . So in order to defend the rights of this creatures, ADANA was founded more than 25 years ago. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">ADANA (Association for the Rights of Abandoned Animals) is an animal charity on the Costa del Sol run by volunteers. Their aims are to promote love and affection for animals, to provide facilities for the shelter and care of abandoned, sick and injured animals whilst seeking new homes for them. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They have volunteers that attend the refuge daily, to feed to the animals, clean them and to take them for walks. It is a work that takes a lot of time and requires responsibility. If you have some time and wish to help, you will be welcome. They also need other volunteers, especially those with knowledge of construction, electricity, plumbing. But anyone with a desire to help is most welcome.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Flight Buddies needed:</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They have been successful in getting a number of our dogs adopted by people in northern European countries but need help getting the adopted dogs to their new homes and are looking for people travelling to those countries to help them by becoming "flight buddies". The cost of the dog's flight is paid for by the person who has adopted it so it would cost you nothing. All you would need to do is add the dog to your booking details. They would provide all the necessary documentation, health checks and equipment required in preparation for the dog to fly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The dog would be brought to you at the airport (usually Málaga) and their experienced volunteers would guide you through the check-in process and be on hand to assist you until the dog passes through security. The adopter would then meet you at the other end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Flights to the UK are excessively priced so dogs travel to the UK via dedicated Pet Taxis but we are always looking for people flying to northern European countries like Germany, Holland, Norway, Finland, etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By agreeing to be a "flight buddy" you would be helping an abandoned dog make its way to a new home and life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So if you're travelling from Spain to somewhere in northern Europe and can help us by being a flight buddy please contact them.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To get to the Pedregales park, you take the road towards Casares; it's actually marked "Casares por los caminos" at the roundabout on the A7 by the Estepona Industrial area (Poligono). You start by going down under the motorway, then after a few kilometres you come to the park on the right.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> The turn-off for ADANA from the Pedgregales road (Pista Colada de los Molinos a E) is about 200 meters <b><u>before</u></b> the official entrance to the park. You will see signs posted for ADANA at the turn-off.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The municipalities of Malaga province look set for deals and pacts after last Sunday elections in which the Popular Party (PP) saw its vote share drop significantly, and new parties destabilised the two-party system. Across the region the PP’s vote share dropped from 46% to 35% and it lost 50 councillors, while the Socialist Party (PSOE) gained just four thousand votes more than in 2011.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Estepona citizens wanted to reward with their votes the management of José María García Urbano, who renews his mandate for four more years with an absolute majority that will allow him a peaceful government and without covenants. In 2011, after several years of political turbulences and corruption scandals, Garcia Urbano came to the City Hall after winning with a 48.93% of the total votes. Four years later he gets even better results, to have a 59.67% of the vote in a city which, as most of the citizens say: has changed for good.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On the national scene, the two traditional parties fell short of overall majorities in most areas. They both lost a significant number of votes to emerging groups Ciudadanos and Podemos. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As expected, in the wake of the economic crisis and high-profile corruption scandals which have tarnished the reputation of the traditional political parties in Spain, the country has now entered a new political era. Spain is unfamiliar with governing coalitions as the PP and the Socialists have dominated for decades, so the next months before the general elections will be good to see how the traditional parties are positioned.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As I said, every place in Estepona have a story, but today we will learn about its prehistory ...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At Corominas dolmenic centre, we can see the remains of a spectacular megalithic cemetery. Five graves, moved from its original location (due to the construction of the motorway AP-7) to “Los Pedregales” park. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The archeologists has reconstructed stone by stone the topography of the site, including the five dolmens in its original position. On the same building there is a tour where you can see exposed the different tools and handcrafts found inside the dolmens and brief explanations about the way of living of our old ancestors.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A curious thing about the site is that they also found another graves from 4000 years ago, during the Bell Beaker culture period, just for our orientation we can use as a time reference the construction of Stonehenge (England) during this period. On the visit you can admire the reproduction of one of these tombs and several showcases with materials deposited inside: smooth ceramic vessels, bronze axes, etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The building is a 25 meters diameter dome. One of it features is the lighting, that was done through fiber optics. On the top of the dome, you can see a representation of a starry sky with the stars on the same disposition as it looks 5000 years ago, the time when the original builders of the necropolis finish it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">But there are not only bones and fling stones at Corominas. One thing that makes it one of my favorite’s places of Estepona is the live events that every month are offered there. From classical music to unplugged rock bands concerts, you can find a very attractive agenda and in addition you can have a guided tour after the concert. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To get to the Pedregales park, you take the road towards Casares; it's actually marked "Casares por los caminos" at the roundabout on the A7 by the Estepona Industrial area (Poligono). You start by going down under the motorway, then after a few kilometres you come to the park on the right, there is a parking area just passing the main entrance. Corominas is 400mts from the entrance of the park. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I still remember the first time I came across a mural in the neighbourhood of "3 Banderas" a place that I visit several times per month to buy the meat to prepare our Argentinian BBQ's. At that moment I thought that it was the neighbours of that building who decided to paint it in that way. I didn't know at that time that this mural was one of the firsts in an ambitious project of Street art around the town of Estepona.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In the last three years, the façades of buildings in the streets of Estepona went from being simple dwellings to be seen as canvases in which artists can exhibit their works. Nicknamed as 'Route of Murals' brought 25 large-scale paintings, a number that will continue to rise in the near future.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This initiative put the city at the spotlight of national artistic scene. In January 2014, five terraced buildings became the largest vertical mural of Spain. 'Fishing day', created by the artist Jose Fernandez Rios, became the emblem of this route and not only for its size but also for its composition. Only watching it from an exact point of the opposite street you can view entirely the fisherman catching his prey.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, the works will not end with this paintings as it seems that there are many artists demanding "a piece of city" to make their art. It's look like Estepona is becoming step by step in an outdoor museum.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Where you can find the paintings:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you decide to have a look to all of them, the best is to park near Estepona Marina and walk from there (The first one you will find is "La casa de la buena gente"). It will be a 5 kms walk and you can combine it with the visit to the orchidarium as there are 4 paintings (including "Fishing day") in a 500mts range from there. You will end near San Jose school (with Azul y Plata), so you can walk down to the sea side and chill out in one of the beach bars before you start your way back to the port 2.5km). </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Public Wi-Fi is now available in seven areas of Estepona town. The connection is free for one hour, after the initial free period continued usage will be charged thereafter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The areas you will be able to connect are, the promenade, La Rada beach, El Cristo Beach, Plaza de las Flores, Plaza ABC, and Plazoleta Ortiz.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the future, Estepona hopes to increase the Wi-Fi coverage to other areas of the city. The only requirement to access this service is a computer, laptop, mobile telephone or tablet with Wi-Fi connection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once connection has been established with the Estepona Wi-Fi server, the World Wide Web may be accessed by the user.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the hour’s free access is finished, the user can then continue connecting via the server by paying a small amount by credit card or PayPal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The approximate speed of uploading and downloading within the designated free hour will be 256 kbps, jumping up to 1Mbps for paying customers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Prices are 1 euro a day, 5 euros a week or 10 euros for the complete month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A city council spokesperson said: “the connection allows better access to on line services, a reduction of digital divide in the district and assistance attracting tourism in the city.”</span></div>

It is an area that has undergone major volcanic activity; the rocks are rich in the olivine mineral. Rainwater has oxidized the iron and magnesium present in the rocks and the iron oxide has coloured the rock reddish-ginger, a hue that gives the sierra its name. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The sierra's most notable tree is the Pinsapo (Spanish fir), which only grows in Andalucía in this area and the neighboring Serranía de Ronda. This botanical jewel is only found in half a dozen places in the world. You will also find maritime and Austrian pines, cork and kermes oaks, junipers and yew trees. There are some species of Mediterranean scrubland such as rosemary and dwarf fan palms.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There are not dangerous animals in the area, but you can find mountain goats, the roe deer and the Egyptian mongoose. Less visible are the otters and wild cats. Raptors nest in the many sheer slopes and include booted eagles, Griffon vultures, sparrow hawks and eagle and long-eared owls.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There are tree hiking trails that are marked (Los Realillos, Paseo de los Pinsapos and Salvador Guerrero), of medium difficulty so it is recommended to wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Please keep in mind that the temperature is often 10° less than the waterfront, so think about whether you want to take something warm. Best time to visit is Spring and Autumn. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">About half an hour after leaving Estepona you will reach "Peñas Blancas" pass. Turn left following the sign up to "Los Reales" (36.504643, -5.188839) . The tarmac road is old, however a 4x4 vehicle is not necessary.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From Peñas Blancas pass the road also leads down to Jubrique and to Genalguacil and on to the Gaucin – Ronda road. In this way one can make an enjoyable half day drive from Estepona up to Sierra Bermeja and then returning by Gaucin and Manilva or by Ronda and San Pedro .</span></div>
