Thankfully we are in the third week of August, the hottest

month of the year here in Spain and this last weekend we

have had cooler temperatures in fact in some areas the mid-

dle 20's seemed remarkably cool and a massive difference

from the mid 30's of the week before. For the thousands of

holiday makers here in the Costa Blanca the clouds in the

sky and a touch of rain wasn't on their wish list so under-

standably there was much disappointment for the beach

lovers and sun worshipers. For many residents it's been a

time to slow down and take a break, I was among thousands

of British travellers going in the opposite direction during the

recent weeks. Back to the UK for a catch up and a taste of

the very unusual sunny and warm weather. Many parts of the

UK have been drenched in sunshine a good run without rain

but of course it is now seeing a change and possibly the fun

is all over... well for sure it's going to be back to normal very

soon and that's when coming to the Costa Blanca really does

give us the edge. September is on the horizon and the foot-

ball season is already back on. YIPEEE!... for me it's like a

duck out of water without football and the World Cup being

such a disappointment for most we are jumping with joy to

see the best league in the world kick off last weekend. Not

only that the Cricket just isn't the same although I have had

the odd moment to see England actually winning a test

match so it helped gain some interest. I did mention in issue

have some exciting plans so keep picking up the Weekly

Dear Readers...

Benidorm is on the front foot

and is leading the way into the

digital world, Telifonica have

collaberated with the City of

Benidorm to provide small cell

antennas in Benidorm, these

antennas will provide the abil-

ity to speed up your data con-

nection on your mobile

devices. This new pioneering

technology provides excellent

wireless coverage and allows

data to be transmitted quickly

up to a speed of around 150

Mbps, the signal is distributed

through the 'small cells',which

can be mounted on lamp-

posts, traffic lights or bus

stops. The current cells

installed will provide about

5km (3 miles) of increased

coverage on both the beaches

as well as the shopping areas.

With Benidorm expecting over

5 million tourists by the end of

the year, this is a huge devel-

opment allowing people to surf

the web at faster speeds and

also to help with blackouts to

the networks and social media

applications when the area is it

at’s busiest such as Summer

and Easter. Each small sell

antenna has a huge radius of

around 600 metres and for

anyone who only has a 3G

device it’s still good news as

the installation of the 4G net-

work signals will be stronger

and 3G will be noticably faster.

BENIDORM GETS 4GCOVERAGE

NEW PYTHON FORTERRA NATURA

Terra Natura in Benidorm has

added to its collection an

Indian Python (Python molu-

rus bivittatus),the snake is

almost 6’5 feet long and

weighs about 22lb . The snake

has been subjected to a com-

prehensive review by experts

of the park in order to check

the condition of the skin, check

it’s mouth and behaviour. For

several days, it shall be sepa-

rated to adapt to the new envi-

ronment before introducing it

to the other Indian python that

lives in the complex. The

Indian pythons first came to

the park in 2005, making the

species reproduce in captivity

with the birth of 12 offspring,

which were subsequently

transferred to other zoos.

Today, the resort has another

male larger than the new

specimen, measuring about

10 feet long and weighs

around 66lb, and is 12 years of

age. Indian pythons are con-

sidered as one of the largest

species of snakes in the world,

along with the anaconda. This

snake kills its prey by suffoca-

tion method, so once these

animals have reached their

prey they strangle it until they

no longer feel the heartbeat.

Besides pythons, Terra Natura

Benidorm also has another 40

specimens such as the king

cobra, the Viper moss and the

black mamba. Visitors can

observe these animals in the

exhibition that is inside the vol-

cano and other areas of the

complex where they might

meet the deadliest snake in

the world the black mamba

awarded the title due to their

venom and speed,, or maybe

the most harmless specie that

is the egg eater snake, which

is small and with no teeth,

unable to attack any prey.

SPANISH CIGARETTESALES PLUMMET

Sales of tobacco products in Spanish tobacconists and bars

have dropped dramatically in the last five years, according to the

Finance Ministry and the cigarette industry. While over 90 billion

cigarettes were legally sold in Spain half a decade ago, last year

sales were down to 47.5 billion – a 47-percent drop. The trend

can be attributed to tougher anti-smoking legislation, tax hikes

and a loss of consumer purchasing power as a result of the eco-

nomic crisis. This in turn has led to a spike in tobacco smuggling

and a search for cheaper alternatives, such as roll-your-own cig-

arettes and pipe tobacco. Consumers are also turning to low-

cost cigarettes, whose makers have been thriving and already

control a share of over 11 percent of the market. Brands such as

Elixyr, Golden America and Winfield cost no more than €4.10 a

pack – compared with €4.80 for regular brands – and have been

enjoying a sharp rise in sales despite the small price difference

and low profit margin for manufacturers. Smuggled cigarettes

pose another challenge for the industry. The tobacco lobby has

been fighting back with a campaign to raise awareness about the

way smuggled products hurt the Spanish economy by depriving

the state of taxes. These claims have been backed in recent

weeks after the European Union said it detected signs of tobacco

smuggling and money laundering in Gibraltar, and asked

Spanish and British authorities to investigate. According to a

KPMG study commissioned by the four largest cigarette manu-

facturers (British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco, Japan

Tobacco International and Philip Morris), 8.8 percent of all tobac-

co consumed in Spain is smuggled in. If you also take into

account the 15 packs that a person can legally bring in from the

tax-free principality of Andorra, just north of Catalonia, on each

visit, the proportion of tax-free cigarettes smoked in Spain is now

over 11.3 percent, compared with 2.5 percent in 2009. This rep-

resents €718 million in lost taxes, according to the study.

The Spanish Ministry of

Interior launched

Alertcops, an app that

makes communicating

wiht the police easier to

all citizens, the app is tar-

geted towards tourists and

foreigners residing in Spain

that speak little or no

Spanish as well as people

with a hearing or speech disabil-

ity. The idea is to make it easier for

people to communicate with the State

Security Forces (Guardia Civil and National

Police) to report any criminal activity of which

they are a victim or they have witnessed.

Currently the app is only available in English

and Spanish but the Ministry of Interior plans to

include other languages, such as French,

German, Italian and Portuguese and is avail-

able for free on both the Apple & Android. The

app has been undergoing testing in Málaga and

is also available in Madrid and Alicante, for the

time being as the service aims to be available

across the whole of Spain by 2015. Once

downloaded, the user only has to register their

personal details and the system will send a

code by text message that will enable the user

to finish the registration process. With the appli-

cation installed, the user will be able to send an

alert by selecting an icon that best describes

the situation they want to report. By accepting

the confirmation of the alert, the user's informa-

tion and location will be sent on to the Attention

Centre of the National Police or Guardia Civil.

Once the alert is sent, users can consult its

status in My Alert section, which is

updated periodically. “Alertcops”

is part of the SIMASC (System

of Mobile Alerts for Citizen

Security) technology plat-

form, which aims to pro-

vide universal access to

public services and secu-

rity throughout society.

Interior Minister Jorge

Fernandez Diaz

explained that the aim of

this new service is to “pro-

vide a fast and efficient serv-

ice through a modern and eas-

ily accessible tool”, thus improving

public safety. He also stressed the

importance of this new application that, in his

opinion, opens a “communication channel in

accordance with the demands of today´s socie-

ty, laying the foundation for a social safety net”.

He claimed a

smartphone is “a

tool we all have in

our pocket these

days”.

The app can be

downloaded for

free from the

Google Play Store

and the Apple

Store. For more

information, visit

Interior website

able only in

Spanish).

COUPLE FOUNDDEAD IN HOLIDAY

HOME - NAMEDThe elderly couple, found dead in

their holiday home in Benidorm

on the 4th of July have been

named as Laurence and Katie

Darga, Mr and Mrs Dargan, who

lived in Winslow Road, Hunger

Hill, had visited Benidorm every

year for 30 years.

The couple was staying at their

holiday home at the Gemelos 2

apartments in the centre of the

British district in Benidorm on

Calle Ibiza. Laurence and Katie

were both aged 92 and were

found in their apartment in the

last week of their 3 week holiday. Mr and Mrs

Dargan had both been captains at Horwich Golf

Club and owned a bathroom fitting business

together. Mr Dargan served as a bomber pilot

during World War Two and was a Labour coun-

cillor in the 1950s. They did not have any chil-

dren.

Their deaths are not thought to be suspicious

with their age being a key factor however the

actual cause of their deaths have still not been

released, but police have been carrying out tox-

icology tests to determine the circumstances.

The two bodies were removed for post-mortem

and then were later buried at a municipal ceme-

tery on the outskirts of Benidorm.

A spokesman for the Foreign and

Commonwealth Office (FCO) said: “We were

notified of the deaths of two British nationals in

Benidorm on July 5th. “We provided consular

assistance to the family and our thoughts

remain with them at this difficult time.”

TRIBUTES TO LAURENCE & KATIE

Their neighbour, Joanna Harwood, told the

Bolton News she had driven the couple to

Liverpool Airport at the start of their holiday last

month. She had known the pair for nearly 25

years. Mrs Harwood, aged 49, said: “It’s such

sad news — we will miss them very much,

because they were lovely, lovely people. “They

were both very excited and couldn’t wait to go

away. “My husband and I had agreed to look

after the house while they were gone, as we

always did. “I was due to pick them up from the

airport but I found out five

days before they were due to

return that they had died.

“Laurence and Katie were

very young for their age.

“They kept themselves to

themselves, but they seemed

to have a very good social

life.”

Their nephew, Chris

Beardsworth, aged 67, said:

“I was shocked when I heard

the news — they both

seemed in good health.

“They were very private, but

very nice people.”

Family friend Ken Oakes,

who had known the couple

for more than 60 years, since

he was a youngster, said he

had last seen them in April, three months

before their holiday. Mr Oakes, aged 66, who

lives in Niort, Western France, said: “My wife,

Ann, and I came back to the UK and we took

Laurie and Katie out for some lunch, then we

went to Blackpool together. “They were in really

high spirits. They were always together. They

never did anything apart.”

SPLASH THE CASHBritish holidaymakers visiting Spain are grab-

bing those bargains as the pound makes a

comeback. Back in December 2008 the

exchange rate hit a low of €1.04 which has

now risen to €1.25, for shoppers and bargain

hunters this is great news as purchasing

clothes and shoes within the Spanish border

proves significant savings. A

pair of Zara snakeskin print

stilettos are sold in the UK for

€87.81 (£69.99), but the same

pair can be found in Spain for

just €59.99 (£47.74). But it is

not just Spanish brands that

offer significant savings.

Swedish clothing giant H&M

also follow the trend with prod-

ucts averaging 5% more

expensive in the UK, for

example women’s skinny

jeans are at €19.99 (£15.99)

across stores in Spain, while

the same pairs go for €25.08

(£19.99) in the UK. Although

this is good news for the Brits

it isn’t so great for Spanish

residents that are still trying to

cope with the struggling econ-

omy in Spain. The European Central Bank

reported last week that inflation rates dropped

to 0.4% – almost approaching the deflation

danger area – compared to the UK’s 19%

inflation. The Eurozone’s high unemployment

rates are to blame, particularly in Spain where

unemployment is at 24.47%.

Food & DrinkHAWALIOur team visit to the Hawali Indian Restaurant in Albir was one

that we had been looking forward to. I had received many

great comments from people that I know that use the restau-

rant regularly and I was intrigued to sample the Indian cuisine

for myself. The Hawali has been trading for 9 years in Albir

with the same chef, a solid reputation for the quality authentic

cuisine that has been built up over these years. Jasveer the

manager explained to me that the restaurant has mainly regu-

lar customers some that he has known for many years. With

70 covers inside and also with a outside terrace that seats

over 100 people the Hawali is spacious and offers a choice of

comfortable table settings. A centre point in Albir is the Albir

Playa Hotel and the Hawali is found directly opposite. Our

order comprised of the normal favourite curry dishes as well as

a change from my usual choice. Chicken Tika Masala, Lamb

Rogan Josh, Sagg Panir accompanied by Pilau Rice and Nan

Bread. The extensive menu choice offered much more than

some other Indian Restaurants so amongst the favourites

there were a number of different dishes to choose from and

the most apparent difference was the inclusion of the selection

Beef Curries. My immediate opinion when the food was served

was the attractive individual metal burners that stood with a

dish placed on top. Each dish was served to the table and the

layout was extremely appetising. The food was served at the

correct temperature something that quite often seems to be at

fault in many restaurants. The lamb was very tender and moist

and the curry sauce was a little spicy but not too hot, I enjoy

spicy food but if it burns my mouth then I do not enjoy it. The

Chicken Tikka Masala was served with a creamy sauce that

was tangy and full of flavour of the tandoori oven cooked

chicken. Slightly spicy the masala sauce gave the dish a rich

flavoursome consistency. My experience in eating curry goes

back along way in fact I have dined regularly for over 20 years

at the oldest Indian restaurant in London "The Taj Mahal" locat-

ed in Neal St, Covent Garden. With my experience I have very

high expectations and in this experience I can say that my

expectations were delivered. Decent size portions cooked with

care by a very experienced Indian Chef, for the Weekly Buzz

team Hawali is a recommended eating experience.

What’s OnLa Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday

of August each year in the town of Bunol near to Valencia in

Spain. Thousands upon thousands of people make their way

from all corners of the world to fight in this 'World's Biggest Food

Fight' where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe

tomatoes are thrown in the streets. The week-long festival fea-

tures music, parades, dancing, and fireworks. On the night

before the tomato fight, participants of the festival compete in a

paella cooking contest. Prior to 2013 anywhere from 40,000 to

50,000 (reported to be 50,000 in 2012) people crammed into this

huge tomato fight, greatly expanding Bunol's normal 9,000 per-

son population. Since the 2013 event official ticketing was put

into place limiting the number of participants to just 20,000 lucky

people. There is limited accommodation for people who come to

La Tomatina, so many people take the easier option of staying

in nearby Valencia just 38km to Bunol by bus

or train. In preparation for the dirty

mess that will ensue, shopkeepers

use huge plastic covers on their

storefronts in order to protect

them from the carnage.

What Happens at La

Tomatina ....At around 11

am, the first event of the

Tomatina begins. Many

trucks haul the bounty

of tomatoes into the

center of the town,

Plaza del Pueblo. The

tomatoes come from

Extremadura, where

they are less expensive.

Technically the festival

does not begin until one

brave soul has climbed to the

top of a two-story high, greased-

up wooden pole and reached the

coveted ham at the top. In practice this

process takes a long time and the festival starts

despite no one reaching the meaty prize. The signal for the

beginning of the fight is firing of water cannons, and the chaos

begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for him-

self. Those who partake in this event are strongly encouraged to

wear protective safety goggles and gloves. In addition, they

must squish the tomatoes before throwing for safety precau-

tions. Another rule is that no one is allowed to bring into this fight

anything that may provoke someone into a more serious brawl,

such as a glass bottle. Although it is forbidden to tear someone

else's clothing, the crowd tends to ignore this and invariably will

rip the shirt of any clothed person, man or woman. After exactly

one hour, the fighting ends when the water cannons are fired

once more to signal the end. At this point, no more tomatoes can

be thrown. The cleaning process involves the use of fire trucks

to spray down the streets, with water provided from a Roman

aqueduct. The authorities seem more concerned with cleaning

the town than cleaning the visitors, so some people find water at

the Bunol River to wash themselves, although some kind resi-

dents will hose passers-by down. Once the tomato pulp is

flushed, the ground is clean due to the acidity of the tomato.

Rules of La Tomatina

Do not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents

and hurt other participants

Do not rip other people’s T-shirts

You must squash the tomatoes before throwing them as this

reduces the impact

Ensure you keep a safe distance from the lorries

As soon as you hear the second shot, you must stop throwing

tomatoes

Useful AdviceWear closed shoes that you don’t mind throwing away after-

wards. If you wear flip-flops, you may get hurt, or you could lose

them easily during the battle

Wear old clothes, or clothes

that you aren’t planning to

wear again. They will

most likely end up

damaged from

being ripped or

incredibly dirty

You may find

goggles useful.

However, it is

safer if you

just ensure

that you

always have

s o m e t h i n g

clean to wipe

your eyes with.

The best thing is if

you tuck your T-Shirt

into your shorts to keep

the bottom part of your T-

shirt clean and dry

If you are planning to take pic-

tures, bring a waterproof cam-

era!

If you’re not from Buñol, and you want to stay overnight, don’t

forget to look for and secure accommodation in advance

Do not miss the Palojabón – a soap-covered pole with a Spanish

ham at the top: whoever can climb the pole and get the ham can

keep it!

Stay safe and enjoy the festivities as much possible

How did La Tomatina Start .....

The tomato fight has been a strong tradition in Bunol since 1944

or 1945. No one is completely certain how this event originated.

Possible theories on how the Tomatina began include a local

food fight among friends, a juvenile class war, a volley of toma-

toes from bystanders at a carnival parade, a practical joke on a

bad musician, and the anarchic aftermath of an accidental lorry

spillage.

One popular theory is that disgruntled townspeople attacked city

councilmen with tomatoes during a town celebration. Whatever

happened to begin the tradition, it was enjoyed so much that it

was repeated the next year, and the year after that, and so on.

The holiday was banned during the Spanish State period under

Francisco Franco for having no religious significance, but

returned in the 1970s after his demise.

The festival is in honor of the town's patron saints, Luis Bertran

and the Mare de Deu dels Desemparats (Mother of God of the

Defenseless), a title of the Virgin Mary.

Where is Bunol?Bunol is a town and municipality in the province of Valencia,

Spain and is situated approximately 38 km west of Valenica

(City) and just 164km from Benidorm thats just over an hour and

a half drive.

Javea (also known as Xabia) is a gem of a town situated on

the Northern Costa Blanca. It’s rugged coastline is indented

with secluded coves and sandy beaches. These hidden caves

and bays were once used by pirates and smugglers in the

Middle Ages but are now used by sunbathers, snorklers and

scuba divers.

Javea is in the Costa Blanca region in Alicante, Spain,

Valencia airport is 100 km to the north.

Alicante is found 100 km to the south, and Murcia a bit further.

Several companies offer transportation from both nearby inter-

national airports, there is a train station connecting to Valencia

and Benidorm in nearby Gata De Gorgos.The town has three

main areas namely Javea old town, Javea port, & the beach

area. The old town has not changed much and is a maze of

narrow winding streets with homes that have wrought iron bal-

conies and windows in gothic style. There are many ancient

churchs and other structures. The harbor and fishing port has

numerous restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. The

Arenal beach area is the main commercial and recreation cen-

tre of the town.

ARENAL BEACHArenal is the main beach area with numerous good restaurants

and shops along the seafront of Javea. El Arenal is the main

beach, a beautiful sandy half-moon bay with a gentle slope to

the sea and it has the blue flag standard for cleanliness. This

is a wide sandy beach with shallow waters ideal for young chil-

dren and lots of facilities such as volleyball, windsurfing and

beach bars. Monitored by the Red Cross Beach Patrol

Behind the beach is a pedestrianised promenade lined with

bars and restaurants offering everything from live bands to tra-

ditional restaurants. There is a small fair for the children in the

summer months with rides, trampoline and go-karts. The prom-

enade is a great place for a stroll in the evening.

The bustling Arenal area is surrounded by shops, bars and

restaurants such as the renowned Los Remos or La Boheme.

It’s a great place to walk along the promenade in the evening.

It’s very touristy obviously and is the least Spanish part of

Javea but nevertheless it is a crucial part.

During the evening in the summer there are various stalls here

selling a variety of handmade crafts. Many of the bars have

live music. The most popular bar is known as Champagne

which has been renamed Jalousie. Set off the beach is the

popular Irish Bar An Shebeen. This is the place to enjoy the

Javea nightlife which although relatively quiet and limited does

have it’s lively spots such as the nightclub Achill.

The Arenal is very good for families. The beach is large and

very wide. The water is very shallow and calm as it is in a shel-

tered bay. You can easily sit in a cafe or bar and be able to

see your children. Generally Spain is very family-orientated

and you can feel much more relaxed about your kids safety

than you would anywhere else.

This is the place where you can eat tapas, paella but also fish

and chips and English breakfast. The great thing about Javea

is the choice of the three very different parts. It’s almost like

visiting a theme park and entering different worlds!

Buildings here are not high-rise due to strict local plan-

ning regulations. its major leisure and local

cuisine facilities make it an essential

place to visit and the temptation to

return here will be irresistible.

JAVEA PORTMany people’s favourite area of

Javea this has a fascinating

charm factor hard to define.

Traditional whitewashed

houses surround the bay.

Watch the fishermen bring in

their fresh catches or watch

the sailing boats set off from

the marina. Eat at the fantas-

tic seafood restaurants.

There are also many good bou-

tiques, shops, bars and cafes –

it’s bustling with activity. The Port

area of Javea has a real Spanish feel,

this is an area where locals live and work

in harmony with the tourist elements.

The landmark of the Port area is the church of Our

Lady of Loreto with a roof which imitates the hull of a ship.

Between the Port area and the main Arenal beach are rocks

perfect for exploring and in the summer this stretch is lined

with beach bars.

HISTORIC OLD TOWNThere is the traditional Old Town of Javea where you can wan-

der down ancient narrow streets and visit the local market on a

Thursday. Built with original Tosca sandstone it’s rich in

medieval history.

The Gothic fortified church of San Bartolome dominates the

centre of Javea’s town. This building dates back to the 15th

century. At the side of the church is a beautiful building which

houses the indoor market where you can buy local fresh pro-

duce daily.

SHOPPING

Every Thursday between approx. 08:30 and 14:00, a

weekly Street Market or “Mercadillo” is held in Plaza

de la Constitución and Placeta del Convent.

Duanes de la Mar also has an extensive

range of shops concentrated in Av. Jaime I,

C/ Cristo del Mar and the outskirts of the

church. This city centre contains the

Fishing and Yacht Port and the Fish

Market called the “Lonja de Pescado”

with the traditional auction which takes

place from Monday to Friday at around

17:00. Starting from 18:00, you may

buy fresh fish and seafood from the

local bay in the sales office which the

Fishermen’s Association has inside this

Market. Its great fishing tradition means

that it is full of restaurants and bars with

traditional seafood “tapas”.

In the beach, Playa del Arenal, you may find

major shopping opportunities all year round. In

addition to clothing boutiques and shoe shops, you

can find diverse businesses ranging from souvenir and

gift shops, costume jewellery and Summer fashion shops. In

the Summer, the promenade is full of handicraft stands starting

from 19:00.

The opening timetables of Xàbia vary according to the season

and are approximately as follows: from 09:30 to 13:30 and

from 16:00 or 16:30 to 20:00 or 20:30.

There also numerous supermarkets and shopping centres in

the city centres and the main access roads to the towns or

housing estates. The majority of them are open on holidays

during July, August and September.

The Shopkeepers Association organize different events

throughout the year such as the Handicrafts Fair in Holy Week,

Christmas Markets, and the Moors and Christian Fair in July

as well as the Sea Festival with the sale-purchase of boats

and semi-new nautical items.

Visit www.portaldelcomerciante.com

To find additional information about these activities as

well as a business guide.

GETTING AROUNDFor most locations in Javea a car is essential. If arriv-

ing at Valencia or Alicante airport there are several

car rental companies readily available. If booking a

car rental locally in Javea it is generally advised to do

so in advance of your journey as they tend to sell out

during the busy summer season.

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

It's time to decide what course of action is best for your future. Show others

you're more than capable of planning for the long term by approaching issues

calmly. From Thursday onwards the sky's the limit for you when it comes to fun

and socialising.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

You'd give anything to be able to rely on someone else to do something correctly

for you, but it always comes back to you being the only one shouldering the bur-

den. Make sure minor obstacles don't derail you and you'll make a great impres-

sion on authority.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

Acting on impulse is always risky, but if you use your Gemini intuition to lead you,

you'll get farther than anyone else this week over career matters. Once loose

ends are tied up it may be an idea to take a holiday or short break. Someone

from the past tugs your heart strings.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Recent events have boosted your confidence and you now feel you can tackle

anything. Now that you're sure of yourself its time to remind others you're fine on

your own. Just take extra care when it comes to major financial decisions.

You're cocky not infallible.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

Hidden emotions you've been trying to suppress may come to the surface today,

so take time to rethink personal attachments and work out ways in which to

improve them. The week progresses steadily and by the weekend you're the life

and soul of the party.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

It's unlike you to want to run away from duties and responsibilities, but events

this week make you want to escape the reality of what's going on. This may

apply to work or home, but thankfully not both. Try to be rational as you try to

work out a plan to move forward.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

By hook or by crook you're determined to let your hair down and have fun this

week, and although initially there doesn't seem to be anything to stop you, take

time to think of how others feel. Partners and children think you're being selfish

and they'll tell you.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

The prospects look good as you make positive moves for the future over career

matters, but getting your innovative ideas across to the hierarchy may be harder

than you think. Use your seductive powers of persuasion and you'll have it in the

bag. Stay focused.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

You start the week determined to make changes and you'll go at them full steam

ahead, but this only leaves you spent mid week. Pace yourself. Do a little every

day, and allows goals to culminate around the weekend. Its only then you can

afford to let your hair down.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Planetary trends encourage you to be generally optimistic over long term goals,

so do what you can to ensure everything is done and dusted well before the

deadline. You're in a powerful position when it comes to influencing those in

authority. Be discreet.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

The lunar high brings you closer to your hearts desire and you'll easily persuade

others to follow your lead. This is a great move to ward off worries about your

security. Work diligently and move steadily towards your hopes dreams and

goals. A weekend to celebrate.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

There's a fog of lethargy surrounding you that you cant seem to shake off, but

maybe a change of routine and stepping back from responsibilities would be a

good first step to remedy how you're feeling. Your natural good luck will arrive

when you need it most.

BRAIN TEASER: STEVIE WONDER - WORD WHEEL: 9 LETTER WORD - SATELLITE

It’s that time of

year when family

and friends decide that it is a good time to visit

you. The children have broken up from school.

The flights are getting expensive but low cost

accommodation is looking good in these cost

cutting times! It also means a good time to

catch up with lovely relatives or great

friends! These visits can be filled

with joy and anticipation or

filled with dread as you have

to cope with sleepless

nights due to giving up

your bed, excessive

partying and drinking

as you cope with

guests on holiday!

For you it’s a life

style with routine

and new friends a

disruption. For them

a holiday to catch up

with loved ones and

get a cheap holiday at

the same time!. Yet for

all of you it is a chance to

be re-united. A chance to

catch up on old memories and

good times and a fantastic oppor-

tunity to enjoy the moment of now and

to create new memories to tide them over the

long dark winter months back in the UK and for

you, a moment in time to savour in those

months of separation ahead. I guess that’s why

I feel I have to help those dogs still separated

from love, a warm bed, good food, a cuddle, a

touch and even a daily walk. Let me introduce

you to one dog who would not take such oppor-

tunity as a mere glancing, fleeting opportunity

and who you could help right before you put this

paper aside.

DOG OF THE WEEKJessShe came into the pound with her sister over 18

months ago. We worked really hard to home

them together and eventually after over 1,000

members on facebook all working together,

radio stations and newspapers we found a

home for them, together. But it was not the end

of the story as the two sisters together were a

bit too much trouble together, it hurt us to have

to split them up but finding happiness for them

became the priority. It was heart-breaking to

have one of them returned to the pound, yet

this one Jess has shown to be a lovely girl,

Getting on great with her new friends and loving

her time in the park for a run and chasing the

balls you throw for her. Perhaps now you can

show her the love she needs to be re-united

with her new family. Please give her a chance

and share some love. For me, July has given

me the chance to be re-united with very

Special friends, one’s I know

who will follow me if I move

from Spain to another

country. Not

because of the

cheap holiday

but because

that connec-

tion between

us is strong,

p e r h a p s

unbreakable

and is full of

love and

commitment

to us as an

honorary fami-

ly. We cherish

the time we have

together, the fun,

the memories and also

because we are there for

each other for life, good and

bad. I wish that for Jess too. For more

dogs please check out our facebook page

Benidorm Dog Pound needs your help to raise

funds to treat our dogs in need. We need you to

help us walk our dogs and socialise them to be

ready to move into a new home. You can

donate unwanted items to our stall on a

Saturday at El Cisne. Donate funds using pay-

pal at [email protected]. How about

spending an hour or two with us walking the

dogs any day between Monday and Saturday

10am to 1pm. We love meeting you and so do

the dogs. Call Maria on 0034 677 37 33 96. If

you can bring leads along then that would be

fantastic too. Another way to help is to become

a cyber buddy for a dog. We have so many

dogs that a lot don’t ever leave the pound and

end up dead one morning on a cold concrete

floor. A cyber buddy changes that and you can

help from anywhere in the world. It’s easy to do

and makes a huge difference to a dog finding a

new forever home. It takes just 2-3 minutes a

day for you! If you had to re-home your dog you

would give more than that a day to find it a fan-

tastic home. So please help us do the same for

the lost dogs in your favourite holiday resort

Benidorm,

Re-united and it feelsso Good!

ALTEA SEA FRONT

DELAY

ALTEA’S seafront face lift has been delayed,

work began back in January where they start-

ed extending the promenade and draining the

mucky stagnant lagoon however work

stopped a few weeks ago. We are now to

understand the delay is due to the firm Cyes

Infraestucturas who are handling the project

have called for a creditors meeting, which

show that there is financial difficulty and the

much needed revamp for the seafront maybe

significantly delayed.

All political parties on Altea council agreed

that the Environment ministry should be

asked to step in and ensure that the project

“continues at the agreed rhythm.”

This could not have happened at a worse

time, town hall sources complained. The

seafront, like the Old Quarter around the

church, is one of the town’s principal tourist

attractions and finishing the revamp within the

stipulated 24 months was a priority.

The town hall has expressed their disappoint-

ment It is intolerable that this should have

happened during the high season. It gives an

impression of neglect that we simply cannot

allow,”

A 4-year-old boy has drowned in a swimming

pool on Sunday the boy was pulled from the

pool of a private villa in Altea, Guardia Civil

have confirmed.Paramedics were called but

were unable to revive the child after he was

pulled from the pool unconcious, During July

alone 32 people have been reported to have

died by means of drowning either in the sea,

rivers or swimming pools. The family which is of

French nationality have been holidaying in the

Costa Blanca but are now mourning the loss of

their 4 year old son.

Alfaz & AlbirALBIR FIESTAS

22nd to 24thAugust

This year Albir will be celebrating it’s annual fiestas from the

22nd August until the 24th August, with fiestas anywhgere in

Spain prepare your self for lots of music, lots of people, and it

lasting into the eatly hours, so if your staying or live nearby you

might want to consider grabbing those earplugs! The celebra-

tions are generally held in the Eucalyptus Park, which you can

find right near the beach just behind the Kaktus Hotel. The cel-

ebrations are for the whole family with lots to see and do, for the

kids head down on Saturday and Sunday morning for around

10am , there will be bouncy castles and lots of free activities, so

if you have kids then this will be perfect to start the day off and

wear them out! For the main entertainment the weekend kicks

off on Friday night with a Correfoc display, Correfoc is a well

known Spanish fiesta and tradition where the Spanish fuel their

love of fireworks, opeople dress up as devils and light up fire-

works on their pitch forks, or throw smaller fireworks into the

crowds. It is all for fun but this display is nothing compared to the

other Correfoc displays held in Spain, Benidorm celebrates

theirs during the November fiestas. During the rest of the week-

end there will be lots of music , dancing and ofcourse drinking

, the parties go on until the ealr hours. In the park families and

groups are given their own plots, to set up therir own party area,

with people setting up their own mini bars tables chairs and

music, these are called Penyas and are traditional during any

Spanish fiesta. The penyas are private and are for people to join

in only when they have been invited but you can walk around

freely and look at the set ups, and enjoy the main entertainemnt

and public bar.

Health & Family A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot

that forms in a deep leg vein. Anyone may

develop a DVT, but the following increase the

risk:

• A surgical operation which lasts more than 30

minutes - the most common cause of

DVT.

• Any illness or injury that causes immobility

• Long journeys by plane, train, etc. cause a

slightly increased risk of DVT.

• Damage to the inside lining of the vein

increases the risk of a blood clot forming. For

example, a DVT may damage the lining of the

vein. So, if you have a DVT, then you have a

higher than average risk of having another one

sometime in the future. Some conditions such

as vasculitis (inflammation of the vein wall) and

some drugs (for example, some chemotherapy

drugs) can damage the vein and increase the

risk of having a DVT.

• The contraceptive pill and hormone replace-

ment therapy

(HRT) which contain oestrogen can cause a

small increased risk of DVT.

• People with cancer or heart failure

• Older people particularly those who have

poor mobility or have a serious illness such as

cancer.

• Pregnancy increases the risk. About 1 in

1000 pregnant women have a DVT.

• Obesity

In some cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

there may be no symptoms, but possible

symptoms can include:

• Pain, swelling and tenderness in one

of your legs (usually your calf)

• A heavy ache in the affected area

• Warm skin in the area of the clot

• Redness of your skin, particularly at

the back of your leg, below the knee

DVT usually (although not always) affects one

leg. The pain may be made worse by bending

your foot upward towards your knee.

If DVT is not treated, a pulmonary embolism (a

blood clot that has come away from its original

site and become lodged in one of your lungs)

may occur. If you have a pulmonary embolism,

you may experience more serious symptoms

such as:

• breathlessness, which may come on

gradually or suddenly

• chest pain, which may become

worse when you breathe in

• sudden collapse

Both DVT and pulmonary embolism are seri-

ous conditions. Anyone who experiences any

symptoms or who is even slightly concerned

about the possibility of DVT should see their

doctor without delay.

Shopping & Lifestyle How to sleep in the Spanish heat

Here are a few simple tricks for surviving those sweaty summer

nights – No air con required!

Getting to sleep in the Spanish heat can be difficult and even

more so during the Summer months, in high tempretures at any

time of the year you can easilu notice that the bed sheets cling,

pajamas are too heavy, and cool air is notable by its absence.

It’s impossible to sleep. Your first reaction is to turn on the air

con, if you have it. But often it’s not worth the cost to have it run-

ning the whole night, so you decide to turn it off again.

But is it possible to sleep coolly in the Spanish summer without

air conditioning? Tradition says yes. Ancient Egyptians used to

moisten their bedclothes to sleep better and combat heat

waves, which pose a serious risk to public health. According to

the results of a scientific study carried out by the Spanish

National Research Council, mortality rates for those aged over

75 increase 20.1 percent for each degree that the maximum

daily temperature rises above 36ºC.

Direct a fan towards the windows to prevent the heat coming

through

Our ancestors have passed down to us a long legacy of tricks

for staying cool. You can sleep under cotton sheets, for exam-

ple, which aid perspiration. At the same time you can also put

your sheets in the fridge or freezer inside a plastic bag for a few

minutes before sleeping – they won’t stay cool the whole night,

but it will be long enough for you to fall asleep – or fill a hot water

bottle with cold water to cool down your bed. Here are a few

more suggestions.

1. Be creative. Come up with methods to stop hot air from enter-

ing the room. For instance, point a fan toward the windows, or

place a bowl full of ice or very cold water in front of the fan to

cool the air further. A damp sheet placed over the window also

helps.

2. Wear light pajamas. That’s the advice from the US Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), though you can also

sleep naked if you like. It’s a question of preference. According

to a study by the Association of American Cotton Producers

Cotton USA carried out in the UK, 57 percent of people who

sleep naked are happier in their relationship with their partner.

3. Apply compresses dipped in lukewarm water on parts of the

body most sensitive to heat, such as the neck, elbows, ankles

and the backs of the knees. The contact with cool water has a

refrigerating effect that triggers a narrowing of the blood vessels,

heating up the skin. In turn, the heat cools you down as a result

of the difference in the surrounding temperature, explains the

CDC.

Over half of people who sleep naked are happier in their rela-

tionship with their partner

4. Sleep alone. It’s the best thing to stay cool. Sleeping along-

side someone else increases your body temperature and makes

the bedclothes cling, explainsdormir.org.es, a website devoted

to sleep problems. What’s more, doing so at floor level will make

you even cooler as hot air tends to rise.

5. Shower in warm water to reduce your body temperature. This

is a good tip for feeling fresh and clean. Many people say that,

even though the shock of a cold shower produces an instant

feeling of coolness, it reactivates your body and energy con-

sumption, which makes you feel the heat more quickly after-

wards than if you had showed in warm water, explains the

Biological Health Institute. Also, be sure to keep your feet cool

as heat enters the body here. Washing them before you turn in

for the night or sleeping with them outside the bed are two good

tips.

6. Eat salad for dinner. Avoid big meals and hot dishes such as

stews, soups and roast chicken. These force the body to pro-

duce more heat in order to digest them. A yoghurt, salad or that

Spanish summer favorite, cold gazpacho, are perfect for sum-

mer nights. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water, the WHO

says: the body uses it to get rid of heat.

7. Turn off all lights and electronic gadgets completely. Putting

them on standby is not enough: they go on using energy and

giving off heat, according to the International Energy Agency –

between five and 10 percent of what they would use when

switched on. Also: replace incandescent light bulbs with com-

pact fluorescent ones, which produce the same amount of light

but use a fifth of the energy and give off less heat, according to

the emergencies center in Arlington, Virginia.

Lastly, if you are able to sleep out in the open air, do so. Set up

a camp on the roof or head out into the country to sleep close to

a place next to water (the moisture in the air has a cooling

effect), turning a night of stifling heat into one of adventure.

The Vista Card is fantastic way to gener-

ate extra business and can be used as a

simple marketing tool to spread the word

about your company and attract cus-

tomers from other areas.

a fantastic marketing tool to help grow

your business and can be adapted and

• Increased Business/Product Awareness

The Vista Card can be an excellent way to

increase your business or product aware-

ness. It can encourage customers to try

something new by simply offering them

the chance to try something for free or at

a discount. For example, if you run a

restaurant, you could offer one of your

tasty desserts for free or at a discount if

they have their Vista Card. Customers

might love your desserts so much, they’ll

purchase them next time they come in for

dinner. Changing the reward every now

and then keeps things fresh and increases

knowledge of your products and services.

• Increase Repeat Trade

Encourage customers who have had a

fantastic experience with you to return by

awarding them with an extra incentive.

Why not hand out a free Vista Card with

each bill and tell them about a fantastic

offer they will get next time they visit.

Customers will be more likely to return

and receive their special offer rather than

try somewhere else.

BrogansCalle Lepanto 21 |Local 10,Benidorm,

““A visit everyday.”Reviewed August 13, 2014

We found this place on the 1st day of our two week holiday.

Glad we did! Trevor is a great host and made us feel welcome.

Food and drinks are cheap as chips and it's a great pint! Will be

our 1st stop next year at Benidorm. Had to write this review to

say thanks for being part of our holiday. Top job sir... See you

next year buddy.

Warm and friendly”Reviewed August 12, 2014Just returned from 2 weeks in benidorm ... Passed this bar one

day in popped in for the Thursday quiz ... Have to say the serv-

ice and welcome was fantastic , totally recommend visiting bro-

gans if your in benidorm lovely people :)

“Quality bar fantastic owners” Reviewed August 11, 2014Quality cheap friendly bar, great quiz night just a shame didn't

get there till half way through. We go benidorm yearly and will

definitely be visiting this great bar again and will be advising

friends and family also to visit this bar thanks:-)

“Great quiz” Reviewed August 9, 2014Spotted the sign on the wall advertising a quiz night so decided

to pop back on said night to participate. Only a small place but

friendly enough with excellent prices at the bar plus free

snacks. We found the male owner to be fairly quiet and mild

mannered and I think with a bit of a louder voice and a bit more

of a pushy nature could have filled the bar that night with pass-

ing trade. The quiz was good fun and he should do them more

often never mind 'stepping on other bars toes' get the punters

in and do more quizzes and games!! :)

“Made us very welcome” Reviewed August 3, 2014found this lovely friendly café bar 4 days before returning home

visited it every day lovely milkey coffee and home made short-

bread wish we had found it sooner thanks trevor for making us

welcome cath eddie from hawick scotland

El Italiano Paseo Mediterraneo 29, Altea, Spain

“Great location”Reviewed August 5, 2014Really nice view from the restaurant, the food is excellent and

the choices on the menu will suit all comers. The staff are very

good, but could do better at coming back to the tables to see if

anything else is required such as drinks etc. Very much one of

the best in Altea.

“The best pizza and spaghetti”Reviewed June 28, 2014Everything in this restaurant was perfect. Delicious pizzas and

spaghetti, warm service, nice sea view and reasonable prices!

“terrific meal”Reviewed April 24, 2014We had lunch here a couple of days ago and chose from the

menu of the day. The food was excellent with good portions

and the blueberry cheesecake was the best we had ever tast-

ed. The service was superb, very attentive waiter and we will

certainly eat here again.

“Excellent meal!!”Reviewed November 4, 2013We visited this restaurant last week. We chose the restaurant

as they appeared to be one of the only restaurant that was

either open or would continue to serve the 'Menu of the Day'

after 4 pm.

The Service was very good and the staff were very friendly

and helpful. The menu was varied and suitable for a wide vari-

ety of tastes and all of the food and drink that we ordered was

very good. Overall it was a most enjoyable experienceand the

meal was very good value for money.

I would recommend this restaurant

“Good and bad but a lovely view fromour table”

Reviewed September 19, 2013We visited here early one evening. Good menu choice. Waiter

was friendly and helpful. Food on the whole was good - espe-

cially the lamb. Only downside was that one member of the

party ordered a pasta dish only to be told a little later that they

had run out. Unfortunately their alternative choice when it

arrived was cold in the middle and had to be sent back. The

same dish was returned reheated, which was not ideal. Hence

food rated average which meant that the overall rating was

reduced from very good to average.

However desserts were very good especially the panacotta.

“Always good value.”Reviewed May 30, 2014Excellent restaurant, always perfect service and quality food.

Great value, immaculate surroundings. The "menús" are really

good value offering 4 or 5 courses. Highly recommended.

"Good food, nice decor and properoperation!"

Reviewed July 30, 2014Menus includes a drink, salad, bread with tasty garlic mayon-

naise, soup, main course and dessert (cheesepie, apple pie,

panna cotta, ice cream, coffee, melon, fruit or caramel pudding)

.... from € 10,90- € 17.90. 4 people for € 58.60, incl. Bottle of

lambrusco extra. Bedienig speaks many languages and menu

in all languages. Friendly and soup is served at the table. Also

beautiful crockery and beautifully laid tables!

"Great meal!" Reviewed July 15, 2014Was here for the first time, we chose the 4 course menu.

Everyone was delighted with the food and service. If we are to

give the top result, they were replaced with fresh frozen vegeta-

bles. All the vegetables are not cooked soft, but it's a matter of

taste. The house vitvin was good. Affordable and good restu-

rang. Location is not my butter in the eye, but what Gør it? We

will soon again.

"Great Value" Reviewed July 1, 2014 Very much good food for the money. This restaurant visit I

would like to again. Good and friendly staff.

"Every visit I like !!!" Reviewed October 16, 2013Very good food, prices, service, everything is homemade, fla-

vored and look good. One of the best restaurants for me, rec-

ommended for sure

"It offers great value!" Reviewed 15 July 2013We have eaten at many restaurants in Albir, Altea and Alfas,

but always return to Transylvania. Do not feed the world, but

the world as much for your money!

ed behind the main desk which will be used to

highlight the news stories of the day and enable

viewers to see what is being broadcast on the

six Sky Sports channels. Sky Sports News has

also beefed up its range of cameras with sever-

al Sony RF cameras which offer more mobility

around the studio. These will be used to film

presenters as they move around nine different

SKY SPORTS NEWSRELAUNCED

FURY - CHISORARESCHEDULED

Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora will finally face each other in the

ring after their grudge rematch was rescheduled for November

22 at London's ExCel arena. The British heavyweights were due

to meet in Manchester last month until Chisora fractured his

hand and the long-awaited bout had to be postponed. Alexander

Ustinov was drafted in as a replacement following Chisora’s

withdrawal but undefeated Fury then pulled out due to his uncle

Hughie being taken ill. However, Fury, who in the last 12 months

has had two scheduled fights with David Haye called off, will

now get the chance to extend his undefeated record by a claim-

ing a second victory over Chisora. Promoter Frank Warren said:

"It's been a roller-coaster few weeks, but I'm delighted to say

that the fight is definitely on with Chisora and Fury ready to clash

on Saturday 22nd November at the ExCeL London. “It was an

extremely unfortunate set of circumstances that caused Chisora

to pull out with a fractured hand. "Despite the setbacks, they

were both determined to fight each other and I believe that we

could see a genuine old fashioned ring war between them."

Warren had been hoping to set the world title eliminator for

October but was troubled by a lack of suitable dates and venues,

while also mindful of giving Chisora's hand enough time to

recover. European champion Chisora, who lost on points to Fury

when they met in 2011, said: "The important thing is we have a

new date for the fight, it's on, and Fury and I will finally give the

fans what they want to see, a fight. "What happened with my

hand has happened and the timing of the injury was terrible, it

couldn't have happened at a worse time and of course Fury had

personal issues going on with him. "I just want to fight Fury, get

revenge, beat him good and proper, and move on to fight

Wladimir Klitschko for the world title." Fury, who has 22 straight

victoires, has vowed to make

Chisora pay for the delay. “Chisora

is now going to get a beating twice

as bad than the one that he was

going to get for pulling out,” he said.

"All Chisora is to me is an obstacle

and I've got to smash through him

to get where I want to be and that's

fighting for the world title. He's

messed me around and now I'm

going to make him pay. I'm happy

for the fans who will get to see me

crush Chisora for second and final

time and send him into retirement."

SUREZ IN BARCAFRIENDLY

Luis Suarez made his first appearance as a Barcelona player in

their 6-0 friendly victory over Mexican side Club Leon. Suarez

joined Barcelona almost five weeks ago but fans have had to

wait to welcome their new signing due to a four-month ban for

biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup. While he will not be

able to feature competitively until October 25, his suspension

was last week relaxed to allow him to train and play in unofficial

matches. The Uruguayan was the star attraction at the Camp

Nou as Barca entertained Leon in the Joan Gamper Trophy,

their traditional curtain-raiser to the new season, while there

was further good news for the Catalan side as Brazilian forward

Neymar started after recovering from the injury which ended his

World Cup. Suarez was paraded in front of the supporters with

the rest of the team ahead of kick-off but started on the substi-

tutes’ bench and only came on in the 77th minute, earning a

rapturous reception from the 72,475 in the crowd.

BAD WEEKGibbs Injury Blow

Arsenal have been dealt a blow ahead of Tuesday night’sChampions League qualifier against Besiktas with news ofan injury to Kieran Gibbs. The 24-year-old has been ruledout of action for at least three weeks with a hamstring prob-lem. Gibbs was substituted after 53 minutes of Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace when he suffered the injury.Nacho Monreal came on as a replacement against Palaceand will almost certainly start in the Istanbul match. Arsenalalready have doubts over Laurent Koscielny for the Besiktastie, while Germany international Per Mertesacker has justreturned to training following the World Cup.

England’s bowlers destroyed India’s batting order onceagain, dismissing the tourists for 94 to seal a 3-1 series vic-tory on day three of the fifth cricket test at the Oval onSunday. Chris Jordan and James Anderson spearheadedEngland’s attack as the hosts thrashed India by an inningsand 244 runs. Joe root was named Man of the Match and itwas well deserved for his outstanding batting form getting149 not out in his innings. The series victory completes aremarkable turnaround for England, which trailed the series1-0 after defeat in the second test at Lord’s amid questionsabout Alastair Cook’s future as a batsman and captain. ForIndia, it is the second time in as many tests they have beenbeaten in three days.

Defending champion Rafa Nadal hasbeen forced to pull out of the US Openbecause of injury.The world No 2 has not played since his

shock defeat to Nick Kyrgios at

Wimbledon last month. He suffered an

injury to his right wrist at home in Mallorca

on 29 July whilst practicing for the US

hardcourt season. He was advised by

doctors to wear a cast for two to three

weeks but the problem forced him to miss

the Rogers Cup in Toronto and last week's

Cincinnati Open.And the Spaniard con-

firmed on his Facebook page that the

injury would now force him to miss the last

Grand Slam event of the year, which

begins next Monday. Nadal said: “I am

very sorry to announce I won’t be able to

play at this year’s US Open a tournament

in which I’ve played in three consecutive

finals. “I am sure you understand that it is

a very tough moment for me since it is a

tournament I love and where I have great

memories from fans, the night matches,

so many things…

NADAL WILL NOTDEFEND TITLE

Jose Mourinho believes Cesc

Fabregas and Diego Costa

can take Chelsea to a higher

level after the summer sign-

ings shone in a 3-1 victory

over Burnley on Monday.

Chelsea surprisingly fell

behind to a Scott Arfield goal

at Turf Moor but they came

storming back as Costa, Andre

Schurrle and Branislav

Ivanovic all struck. Mourinho

was impressed with the way

his team played and paid trib-

ute to man-of-the-match

Fabregas and striker Costa,

who were both making their

competitive debuts for the

club.Mourinho is confident that

Chelsea are on the right path

to a successful season, having

had little time yet to work with

his whole squad after welcom-

ing many of his players back

late from the World Cup. “We

have had no more than six or

seven sessions with everyone

together but we knew the

direction we wanted to go,” he

explained. “I always thought

that Diego and Cesc would

bring us to the dimension we

want because they are differ-

ent players to what we had in

the past. “We need that striker

who can hold the ball and

have interaction with other

players, and we need that kind

of midfielder that dictates the

intensity in the centre.”

FROOME TO LEAD TEAM SKYChris Froome will look to make amends for the disappointment

of crashing out of the Tour de France by leading Team Sky’s

challenge for overall victory at the Vuelta a Espana. The 29-

year-old has been named in the British squad’s nine-man line-

up for the season’s third and final Grand Tour, which starts in

Jerez de la Frontera on Saturday and ends in Santiago de

Compostela on September 14. It will be the third time in four

years Froome has ridden the Vuelta, having finished second in

2011 and fourth in 2012. He will be one of three Britons in Team

Sky’s squad, with British national road race champion Peter

Kennaugh and Welshman Luke Rowe also selected. Froome

said: "This is exactly the sort of challenge that I need after the

disappointment of withdrawing from the Tour de France. You

can’t dwell on disappointment. You have to move on quickly to

next thing and the Vuelta has become the perfect race for me to

focus on. Froome was forced to withdraw from the Tour on stage

five after fracruring his left wrist and right hand in a spree of

three crashes in 24 hours.He later flew to the United States to

recover and resume training, before continuing his preparations

for the Vuelta at his home on the south coast of France. Froome

added: "I’m really pleased with how my recovery has gone since

the Tour. I have been training hard and the support team are

pleased with my progress.Team Sky’s team for the Vuelta a

Espana: Chris Froome (GB), Peter Kennaugh (GB), Luke Rowe

(GB), Philip Deignan (Ire), Mikel Nieve (Spa), Vasil Kiryienka

(Blr), Kanstantsin Siutsou (Blr), Christian Knees (Ger), Dario

Cataldo (Ita).

DUO IMPRESSMOURINHO

RECOVERY IS KEYFOR TIGER

Tiger Woods says it would not have been fair to his team-mates

had he been picked for the American Ryder Cup team. The 14-

time major champion ended speculation about his selection for

next month's event at Gleneagles - which is being shown live on

Sky Sports - by withdrawing him-

self from consideration to fully

recover from a troublesome back

injury. Woods has struggled to

regain both form and fitness since

returning to action following

almost four months out after back

surgery in March. He withdrew

from the WGC-Bridgestone

Invitational in March after suffer-

ing back spasms, and he contin-

ued to look in pain as he missed

the cut by a distance at the recent

PGA Championship.

ROJO HINTS AT MAN UTD MOVE

Argentina defender Marcos Rojo has suggest-

ed his move to Manchester United is immi-

nent, describing it as a 'dream' to play for the

Old Trafford club. The Sporting Lisbon player

has emerged as a key target for United man-

ager Louis van Gaal, with reports suggesting

United will pay £16million for Rojo while send-

ing Portuguese winger Nani back to his former

club on a one-year loan deal. In an interview

with the radio station Continental in his home-

land, quoted in several national newspapers,

Rojo said: "It's a dream to play at Manchester

United and I am very proud of having the

chance of working with [Louis] van Gaal.

"I spoke with Juan Sebastian Veron about

Manchester United when we were at

Estudiantes. I have always liked English foot-

ball, and I should adapt to this new playing

style easily." United's move for Rojo has been

complicated by a row between Sporting and

his a third-party ownership group, while the

24-year-old player upset his employers by ini-

tially refusing to train in a bid to push through

the deal, although he later apologised and

returned to work. "There was a misunder-

standing, I never wanted to do something

wrong at Sporting as I have always been very

thankful to that team that gave me many

chances for playing in Europe," Rojo said. "If I

made a mistake, I have already apologised

because I didn't want to hurt the feelings of

anyone at the club."

PREMIER LEAGUEKICKS OFF

The premier league season kicked off at the weekend andhad all the thrills and spills we had been waiting for.Penalties, Red Cards, the introduction of the magic “Vanishing

Spray” and of course lots of goals! Man CIty got off to a good

start with their title defence with a comfortable win over

Newcastle, Arsenal grabbed a late winner against Crystal

Palace however Louis Van Gaals Manchester United flopped

against a energetic Swansea side who looked strong throughout

and despite United’s best efforts and a clever overhead kick

from Rooney the game got away from them. It looks like they will

need to sign a couple more key players to make a strong cam-

paign for a spot in the top four. Chelsea joined the rest of the top

flight with a 3-1 win over Burnely, the new comers showed good

energy throughout but the class of Chelsea’s star players over-

whelmed them. Fabregas made his

debut for Chelsea finding his feet in the team right away, he will

certainly be one of Jose’s key men this season. Spurs also man-

aged to carve out a win grabbing a late goal in stoppage time,

against West Ham. Spurs lost control of the match early on

when Chris Foy sent off Kyle Naughton in the first half for hand-

ball in the area, after looking at the replays you can agree that

Foy ws correct in awarding the penalty but the red card seemed

a harsh decision. Spurs continued to battle on and Big Sam

missed his chance to capitalise on the extra man after Collins

was sent off after recieving a second yellow card giving Spurs

the belief to grab the points in which they did in the closing

stages with Dier slotting the ball away.
