Jávea is centre of 4th World HolidayDestination by British Tourists (lasprovinciastv.es)

According to data collected by Europa Press, with the cooperation of InternetHome Away, the 4th most popular holiday search destination for Britsplanning a holiday, is Denia, Jávea and Moraira. Jávea is renowned in Spainas the municipality with a huge population of ‘English’ people.

We are gratefulto JáveaTourismCouncillor Toni Miragall,and his Town Hallcolleagues for agreeing thatthe Town Hall TouristOffices be the principalpick-up points for thisDirectory.

JÁVEA CUTS COSTOF FITUR STAND

BUT KEEPS IMPACTWith almost every home inSpain affected by the ‘Crisis’,Jávea - that relies on tourismand construction industries - isfortunate that TourismCouncillor (Antonio Miragell -photo left) and his colleagueschose to lessen the ostentaciousnature of their FITURexhibition space, rather thanabandon participation.

This year’s 42 square metrestand will feature two 42-inchTV screens, projecting imagesof the town that have drawnhundreds of thousands ofprevious visitors in previousyears. The new ‘Face of Jávea’stand has cost less to build anderect, than the cost of theprevious one, for erectionalone.

To coincide with FITUR,Jávea has produced new guidesto cycle touring, with 10 cycleroutes (of varying degrees ofdifficulty). The new JáveaHistory guide will be availablein eight languages.

Councillors are consideringusing the FITUR stand later in2012, in Barcelona, Bilbao,Brussels, Cocentaina, Milan,Utrecht, Valencia andValladolid, where they willoften exhibit as part of the TourEspaña, Costa Blanca orValencia Board of Tourismprojects.

New ‘Bidi’ smartphonetechnology is being introducedto give instant info to visitorswho might not have collected a‘Guide’ from a Tourist Centre.

The 9 other competing top-10 holiday destinations allhave a much higher touristimage (Tuscany, Nice,Florida and Cannes) thanJávea and her neighbours.

So many hundreds ofMadrid residents investedin second-homes in Jávea,that local roads in the mid-June to mid-Septemberholiday ‘high season’ areenblazoned with carnumber plates identifyingthe whole gamut of Madridcar dealerships.

With respect to holidaydestinations in Spain, theMarina Alta (Calpe toVergel) is in 4th place,behind Malaga, Majorcaand Ibiza, all provincialcities. Jávea is the firstchoice for Madrileños forsea and sunshine - andpracticing their English.

More Britishholidaymakers than everchose Spain for their July,August and Septemberholidays in 2011. We hopeto welcome YOU too.

JÁVEA IS THREE VILLAGES

THE PUEBLOor Old Town

With the Gothic ParishChurch of St. Bartolome atits centre, the narrow streetsremind us they weredesigned with horse and cartin mind.

Wooden front doors openon the street, behind whichis a labrinth of rooms and aninner courtyard wherelivestock were housed.

Many properties havebeen converted into shopsand intimate cafés, eachwith its own tapas to matchthe atmosphere.

It might look boring but the‘Old Town’ is always fresh,and delivers on promise.

THE PORTor Aduanas

A reminder to everyone thatJávea was - and still is - animportant fishing port,proven by the number ofrefrigerated vehicles thatmake their way there fromplaces as far away asMalaga.

Fuel tax and EU quotasare strangling those whofish, in the same way as fewnow harvest oranges andother crops that are left torot.

You’ll discover somethingnew with every visit to thePort - and the ‘Fisherman’sChurch’ always impresses.

THE ARENALor Beach

Despite the danger ofmelanoma of the skin,tourists still pour onto thebeach to gain a sun tan thatwill show their UK friendsthey’ve had a great holiday.

The ‘Sandy’ beach offerssafe bathing - not forgettingall bathing by the young orelderly should besupervised - combiningsand that is cleanedovernight, with anabundance of nearby barsand restaurants to suit everypalate and pocket.

There are rope andrubber climbing frames anda special area for disabledbathers at the Southern endof the bay.

Jávea’s Department ofCulture will organise a specialprogramme of events tocelebrate these importantmilestones and will hold anextraordinary plenary sessionon 2 July 2012, to mark theexact date when Jáveareceived the title of Villa andbecame an incorporated town400 years earlier.

Also approved byunanimous decision was themotion by the Bloc Centristes

municipal group tocommemorate another episodein local history that occurred200 years ago during the"French War". The motionrefers to the attack on theparish church, convent andprivate homes on August 28,1812 by French soldiers,general looting of the townand the execution of severalXabieros, as well as thedestruction of the castle of LaFontana, occupied by Britishtroops.

The plenum also agreed toprepare a special programmeto commemorate 400 years oflocal history - that has reliedon being passed fromgeneration to generation,almost becoming a legend ofsorts - after the historicalarchives were destroyed.

Agenda 21For 7 years, residents of Jáveahave met with Councillorsand Town Hall employees todiscuss the relationshipbetween Construction,Tourism and Environment.

It was always going to bea difficult road, with jobs forJavienses (those born inJávea) always being moreimportant than ‘green’ issues.

Attorney, Power ofYou can give anyone a Powerof Attorney, either specific,limited or general; a poderthat can only be prepared by aNotary. It is relatively cheapand grants someone else theright to buy or sell in yourname. You need to havecomplete trust in the person towhom you give your Power,particularly if any part of thedeal is so-called ‘black’money in a brown-paper-bag.

A poder ceases to bevalid if either party dies, andcan be cancelled, but be sureyou can prove that you sentdetails of the cancellation tothe holder, and the Notarywho created, witnessed andholds the original.

Thought 4 2 dayStart the New Year right

'... forgive whatevergrievance you may haveagainst one another ...'

Colossians 3:13To start the New Year right,you must let go of any oldgrudges that are weighingyou down. Philip Yanceydescribes forgiveness as anunnatural act and says, 'Youdon't find dolphins forgivingsharks for eating their playmates. It's a dog-eat-dogworld...not a dog-forgive-dog world.' Bitterness comesnaturally when you've beenhurt, whereas, forgiving issupernatural and requiresGod's enabling grace. Butremember, Jesus said, 'If youdo not forgive...your Fatherwill not forgive your sin'

(Matthew 6:15 NIV).Humanly speaking, there isnot one single reason Godshould forgive your sins, yetthe offenses He pardons youfor every day far outweighanything you will ever beasked to forgive others for.By forgiving, you change thewhole dynamic. You openthe door of a prison whereyou are both prisoner andjailor, setting yourself andthe other person free.Grudges not only isolate youfrom people who were oncefriends, they actually shortenyour life by producingdeadly enzymes thatcontribute to a host ofphysical ailments. One mantold his counsellor, 'I wishmy brother could come tomy wedding, but we haven'tspoken in years.' Thecounsellor asked, 'Howcome?' Pausing, the manreplied, 'It sounds ridiculousnow, but I don't evenremember.' Drifting apart isthe natural result of anunforgiving spirit; forgive-ness reverses the trend byrestoring and healing brokenrelationships. It's a medicalcertainty that forgivenessadds years to your life. As arule, when you talk to peoplewho've passed the eighty-year mark you find they areat peace with themselves -because they've learned toforgive and let go.YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN

Drinking and drivingDON’T - it’s not worth it!

Driving/Driving LicencesThere are excellent books inEnglish like "Motoring in Spain"by Brian J Deller, that areupdated as needed.

In general - be aware thatsome Spanish drivers do notindicate (particularly goingleft) around roundabouts andwill stay in the outside laneall the way around. Use yourwing mirrors. They do notalways indicate when turningoff a road either, do not stopfor pedestrian crossings noracknowledge any courtesyyou give them. They will alsobe inches from your rearbumper when on fast roadsand will overtake to fill thegap you leave from the car infront, as taught in the UK.

This is particularlyannoying in the Calpe tunnel,where you MUST leave a100m gap between yourselfand the car in front, when anovertaking car can move intoyour gap, leaving you with a‘photo fine’ for travelling tooclose.

Many people in Jáveachoose to use a Gestoria, like

freemasonryIan Hutchinson is creditedwith introducing EnglishFreemasonry to Jávea andSpain, creating a ‘Temple’above the Cave Inn, thatbecame Cheers Bar.

A new ‘Temple’ has beenestablished in Costa Nova,which had an ‘Open Day’ todispel the notion of secrecyand is proud of the donations

it makes to non-Masoniccharities.

funeralsInsurance

It was traditional for manySpanish grandparents -abuelos - to arrange burialinsurance for new nietos -grandchildren, ensuring futurelow premiums and one lessfinancial trauma, no matterhow many years into thefuture that child dies.

The problem with burialinsurance is that you have noidea how much you will pay.Many policyholders have paidmany times over for a funeralthat has not - yet - beenneeded, but if they stoppaying NOW, they will losethe benefit of every premiumpaid.

Pre-paymentBritish companies Avalon andGolden Leaves both offer pre-payment where, for the priceof a funeral NOW, it will beprovided at any time in thefuture, no matter what theprice THEN. Plans start at3.150 €uros.

Pre-Pagado Paz wasspecifically created to meetthe needs of Brits in Jáveawho needed more than the 24hours allowed by Avalon forthe Cremation. Clients couldpay extra for additional days,a church service, and allmanner of extras.

The PPP plan includes upto 7 nights ‘refrigeration’ - toawait arrival of relatives, anda Thanksgiving Service.

PPP Round-Tuit PlanThis plan was specificallycreated to protect the spouse -usually the wife - whosehusband never got ‘RoundTuit’ with regard to funeralinsurance or pre-payment.

Even if their loved-one isin Intensive Care (or theMortuary), provided a funeralcompany has not beeninstructed, a Round Tuit plancan be arranged withimmediate effect, and oftensaving a considerable amountof money compared to theprice the family wouldotherwise be charged.

CremationCremation is increasinglypopular in Jávea, which hasits own facilities, as well as


providing a service for funeralcompanies from surroundingtowns and villages.

‘Balbi’ and his staff atTanatorio Jávea, on the Jáveato Gata road, are as proud oftheir facilities as would be aRolls Royce dealer.

Donation of remainsPrior to the introduction ofCremation, and because fewhad relatives to tend a ‘niche’in the Cemetery, many choseto donate their remains formedical research. It is stillpossible and arrangementsneed to be made with theUniversity Teaching Hospitalin San Juan.

IntermentYou can choose for yourcoffin to be placed in a‘niche’ in the Cemetery, butthey are expensive to buy(depending on where, and atwhich level you choose) andif you rent, and do not renewthe premium, the remains canbe removed, and re-interredwith others, in a communalniche.

GibraltarThe story was told that FelipeGonzalez (Spain’s PrimeMinister at the time) metMargaret Thatcher at aEuropean Congress, and toldher “You can keep Gibraltar ifwe can have Jávea back!”

Thought 4 2 dayDon’t be afraid

of failure (Part 1)'A righteous man may fallseven times and rise again...'

Proverbs 24:16Until you overcome the fearof failure, you'll beimmobilised at the prospectof taking a risk. Theimportant thing toremember when you fail isnot to quit. History showsthat failure can actuallybecome a bridge to success.In school, Napoleon wasforty-second in a class offorty-three, yet he went onto build an army thatconquered much of theworld. George Washingtonlost two-thirds of hismilitary battles, yet againstoverwhelming odds he wonthe Revolutionary War andchanged American history.Albert Einstein was such aslow learner that it wassuggested he switch studiesfrom physics to some othertopic, yet he's considered thefather of the atomic age.When you recall thesenames you don't remembertheir failures but theircontributions to the world.Only when you consideryour failure to be final, areyou finally a failure. Failureis not an event, only anopinion, and as long as it'snot your opinion you cancome back and succeed. 'Arighteous man may fallseven times and rise again.'In his first inaugural addressFranklin Roosevelt told thenation, 'The only thing wehave to fear is fear itself.'Failure is not fatal; you canbegin again. But the fear offailure could prove fatal toyour goals by keeping youfrom trying again. Aftercataloguing every possiblescenario that could comeagainst us, such astribulation, distress, perse-cution, famine, nakedness,peril, sword, Paul writes:'Yet in all these things we aremore than conquerorsthrough Him who loved us'

(Romans 8:37 NKJV). So the word for you today is- don't be afraid of failure.You can read part 2 on page 13

Municipal AuditoriumJávea doesn’t have one,though many expected theplot of the ‘old’ Casa deCultura to increase in size, soa 300-seater could beprovided, on land that was fartoo small.

I am told that the land tothe West of the town Insaludand Music Conservatory is‘ear-marked’ for the project.

MuseumThe museum originated in1969 following the creation ofa small collection of historicaland ethnographic itemsgathered by youths led by J.B. Soler and J. Celdrán. A fewyears later, these materialsoccupied an office of Justiceof the Peace and, in 1973 thechapel of St. Anne. In 1975,the City acquired through theefforts of J. Soler Blasco(then Mayor of Jávea) the oldpalace house of AntoniBanyuls, which since 1977,has housed the currentpermanent collection. It wasin recognition of the mainpromoter and first director,Juan Bautista Soler Blasco,that the corporation gave theMuseum his name. Since1985 the Curator has been alocal archaeologist whomanages and advisestechnically.

Alongside the permanentexhibition rooms are otherservices: library (with almostfour thousand volumes),archeology and ethnographystorage and a smallrestoration laboratory.Excavations and other tasksof prospecting, listing andprotection of the richhistorical and ethnographicJávea continue and aredisseminated throughexhibitions and Museumpublications.

Thought 4 2 dayDon't be afraid

of failure (Part 2)

You can read Part 1 on page 11

'A righteous man may fallseven times and rise again...'

Proverbs 24:16Star baseball players only hitthe ball about three out ofevery ten times. How do theylive with such a high failurerate? By focusing on the lawof averages. They know thatif they just keep swinging thebat, they'll get on base. In1952 Roger Bannister ran inthe Olympics and finished infourth place, failing to winany kind of medal. But herefused to quit. Up until thistime many expertsconsidered it humanlyimpossible to run the mile inunder four minutes. Yet thatwas Bannister's goal. And onMay 6, 1954, he became thefirst man to do it. Nowrunners do it regularly.What's the point? If yourefuse to quit when you fail,you'll ultimately succeed.You just have to be willing toget back up and keep movingforward. In 1832 AbrahamLincoln was defeated for theState Legislature. In 1833 hefailed in business. In 1835his sweetheart died. In 1836he had a nervous breakdown.In 1838 he was defeated forIllinois House Speaker. In1843 he was defeated fornomination to Congress. In1854 he was defeated for theU.S. Senate. In 1856 he wasdefeated for nomination forVice President. In 1858 hewas defeated again in a U.S.Senate race. But today he isconsidered one of America'sgreatest presidents. A wiseman concluded: 'It's amistake to suppose thatpeople succeed only throughsuccess; they often succeedthrough failures.' And you'renot defeated until the pasttakes your focus off thefuture. So don't be afraid offailure.

Pine TreesPollen from pine trees

will be a major problem toanyone suffering from hayfever, from as early as March,each year.

Needles & CaterpillarsThe strange ‘pear-shaped’bags hanging from pine treesthat look as though they havebeen created by over-activespiders, are the day-timeresting place of caterpillarsthat graze on pine needles atnight. The adult, as a moth,lays around 300 eggs inAugust that hatch a monthlater.

When fully grown, theCaterpillars can be seen in aprocession, as if holding eachother’s tail with their ownhead, and have a poisonousprotein on every hair of theirbody, as they search - usuallyduring March - for soft soil inwhich to pupate. Contact withhuman skin can produceextreme redness and swellingand any pet which disturbs aprocession should beimmediately taken to a Vet.

It is said, that byremoving pine tree branchesbelow 3 metres (but DO NOTcut them where there arebaskets of these enemies)protects the tree because thefeeble female moth cannot flythat high.

RecyclingJávea is at the forefront ofrecycling that prevents theneed to bury Jávea’s waste onthe outskirts of Alicante city,after being amalgamated withrubbish from other MarinaAlta communities in a facilityon the outskirts of La Xara.

Renting PropertyAny ‘rental’ other than thatclassed as for ‘Tourism’ - nolonger than 90 days can, if thetenant has a mind to do so, beextended for 5 years.

Some owners granted 11-month tenancies, eveninsisting that the property isvacated in the morning,before being re-occupied afterlunch, for a fresh 11-monthterm, but this arrangement isNOT excluded from beingextended for 5 years by atenant with the intention tostay.

ResidenciaAnyone coming to Spain for aholiday can stay for 90 days.Those who intend to stay forMORE than 90 days, areOBLIGED - as soon afterthey arrive as convenient - toapply for a Residencia.

You need a Certificatefrom the Padrón office in C/d'Avall, 39, and the originaland photocopy of yourPassport, which need to betaken to Denia (our regionalcentre for Government) butmost people take theirdocuments to Teulada, whichis far less busy.

Those using Teuladashould go to the Town Hall,obtaining a numbered ticketfrom the machine, on the left,inside the front doors. Whenyour turn arrives, take yourdocuments to the vacant desk.Your documents will bechecked and you will begiven a return appointment.When you return, follow theTicket procedure, and youwill be given a form to take tothe nearby bank and pay thefee. When you come back,hover by the desk, and youwill be given your Residencia -regarded as a worthless pieceof paper, but you will havecomplied with the Law!

Schools and EducationSchooling is a pivot point formany families, whenconsidering relocating.

Those who can afford todo so (and that includes manySpanish families) choose anInternational education fortheir children. XabiaInternational College has bothJunior and Senior premises onthe Ctra. Cabo de la Nao anda Kindergarten facility atCosta Nova.

Lady Elizabeth Schoolwas founded in Jávea byVeronica Barnes, but has nowrelocated to Benitachell andLliber.

If there is the possibility ofthe family returning to theUK permanently beforeschooling is complete, privateeducation is often preferable,because it follows the UKcurriculum (more or less)

On the other hand, if youand your children intend tospend the rest of your lives inSpain, best to get immersed assoon as you can, with - free -education in a state-fundedschool.

Some schools in Jáveaused to teach every subject inValenciano, creating doubledifficulties for children notborn here. I am told thatparents now have the optionto choose a school that doesnot teach in Valenciano, ifthey think it would harm theirchild’s education.

Thought 4 2 dayDon't be afraid

of failure (Part 3)

You can read Part 1 on page11 and Part 2 on page 13

'A righteous man may fallseven times and rise again...'

Proverbs 24:16

The Psalmist wrote: 'Before Iwas afflicted I went astray,but now I keep Your word'(Psalm 119:67 NKJV).

By doing it the wrongway, he eventually learned todo it the right way. The truthis, when you fail in one area,it can drive you to exploreother areas. Most of life'ssuccesses are based on theprinciple of trial and error.Often failure is not fallingshort of your goal, it's simplynot making the effort. Failurecan actually help youdiscover your area ofsuccess. For example, whenyou hate your job you willlikely fail in it. Yet it's inlosing that hated position thatyou may be pressed to pursuewhat you really like to do,and are called to do. Anotherbenefit of failure is that itmakes you less judgmental ofothers. When you'veexperienced failure youbecome more sympathetic.Instead of pointing anaccusing finger, you see theneed to extend a helpinghand. Instead of sayingfoolish things like, 'I can'tbelieve you did that,' youremember the pit God dugyou out of and say withgratitude and humility, 'Beenthere, done that, got the tee-shirt.' You know how it hurtsto fail, and you feel their painbecause of what you've beenthrough. This makes you abetter friend, a better mentorand a better example ofgrace. Jesus told Peter:'...satan has asked for you,that he may sift you as wheat.But I have prayed for you,that your faith should notfail; and when you havereturned to Me, strengthenyour brethren'

(Luke 22:31-32 NKJV).

Spanish LessonsCastillian Spanish is both‘easy’ and ‘hard’ - ‘easy’because every letter has asound and there are very few‘silent’ letters, and “hard” forBrits who, not having learnedEnglish grammar, find it‘impossible’ to learn a latin-based language with withgenders and tenses.

In the past, JáveaTownhall has organisedSpanish lessons but asteachers rarely spoke English,there were no explanations.

Conversational Spanishlessons are arranged byLinguaSchool in the Port, TheLanguage Academy in theTown and Carmen Alesanco(see Interpreters).

Tourism - Jávea’s ‘Industry’Jávea’s main ‘industries’ havebeen Construction andTourism, but income fromboth has been drasticallyreduced since 2009. Theinfamous LRAU ‘Land GrabLaw’ by which a strangercould ‘gain the right to build’on land they did not own, andcharge the owner part of thecost for a new infrastructure,without any opportunity ofsharing in any profits, hasdeterred many buyers.

The LRAU was reated toprevent a landowner fromfrustrating ‘CommunityProjects’ - like a school,hospital or community centre- but was used by corruptdevelopers and Townhalls toallow luxury homes to bebuilt on stolen land, claimingthat ‘high class homes’ weregood for the community.

Attempts to overthrowthe Law by AbusosNo havebeen unsuccessful, an EUCourt recently deciding thepractice was NOT unlawful.

Spain does not recognisethe function of a DistrictValuer who would stipulatethe value of the land involved.

Townhall (Council) OfficesIf Jávea has a restaurant orbar for every day of the year,the Council has an office forevery day of the month, and atotal lack of cohesion. Back in2003 the (then) Mayorpromised to introduce‘Ventanilla Unico’ - onewindow - for residents and ithas always been a TOPmanifesto item!

One proposal was foreach of the Tourist Offices toact as the Point-of-Contact,receiving requests “expones”and giving an indication ofwhen to call back for theanswer. The ‘Expone’ wouldbe moved from office tooffice, rather than theapplicant needing to do so.

The traditional Townhallin Plaza de Iglesia in theTown centre, was vacated forrefurbishment. At the sametime new Council Officeswere created as part of the ElClot parking scheme, butremain unoccupied becausethere are no funds to equipand furnish them.

Town PlanEvery town is obliged to havea “Strategic Plan” whichstates what can - and cannot -happen in different zones. It isnormally revised at 10-yearlyintervals, but the content isbitterly controversial, and itspreparation and approval canoften take 6 or 7 years.Jávea’s new Plan is overdue.

TrainsConnection to Spain’snational rail network is viaValencia, with Gandia beingthe closest station. Mosttravellers from Jávea join thetrain at its first stop, Xeraco,which is close to the AP-7motorway exit, and has amplefree parking.

There is often talk ofreopening the former linkfrom Gandia to Denia thatwas closed in a ‘Beeching’exercise, but the project hasnever received centralgovernment funding.

There is a high-speedAVE connection fromValencia to Madrid (93minutes) and a connecting busfrom Jávea and Denia.

WaterAmjasa Drinking(See AMJASA)

Desalination PlantFor many years water in

Jávea had an unacceptablyhigh salt content. Wells werethen purchased in the JalónValley area as everyonewaited for surplus water fromthe River Ebro to be broughtto the Costa Blanca.

When the Socialists cameto power in Madrid theycancelled the Ebro project,compensating contractors andagain left Jávea with theprospect of salty water.

Newly-elected Jáveacouncillor Ana Vasbinder iscredited with bringing Jávea’sDesalination plant to fruition.

Jávea’s new Governmentteam are discussing waterfrom the salination plantbeing made available to othertowns, to generate income forJávea.

Visitors can tour theDesalination plant on aWednesday.

for poolsWater from AMJASA can beused to fill your swimmingpool, but the cost is quitehigh. Businesses like JaimeEspasa will deliver cheaperwater in a bowser.

WillsIn the UK you can write yourown ‘Last Will andTestament’, have it signed by2 witnesses, and it will governwhat happens to your assetswhen you die.

Spain is totally different.Only a Notary can create thepublic documents thatcontains your final wishes,retaining the original in hisarchives and sendingnotification to the Registry ofWills in Madrid.

Abogados (lawyers) canadvise on the wording wherethere are complications likeprevious marriages orillegitimate children, but youwill have to pay the Notaryfee, whether you have anAbogado or not.

If your situation is notcomplicated - just spouse, car,house and legitimate children- the Notary can provide youwith a template you completeas and where appropriate, sothat all issues are included.

The Original Notary'sOffice is in Historia Chabas,Nº 6 (I think). If you were totravel from the PORT towardsthe town, passing the Ctra.Cabo La Nao, on your left,and on to one-way traffic, atthe junction where USED TOBE SOME TRAFFICLIGHTS, (with ComptersXabia on your bottom left,and Amparo the Pharmicisttop right, TURN LEFT andHistoria Chabas is the FIRSTlittle road on your RIGHT.Park anywhere you canfind!!!!

The NEW Willsupercedes and replaces anyprevious.

The ORIGINAL isretained by the Notary, whoprovides you with a copy.The Notary is OBLIGATEDto notify the Archive of Willsin Madrid (Registro CivilCentral de Madrid - deTestamentos y ÚltimasVoluntades) of the name, andplace and date of birth ofeveryone for whom he holdsthe original.

When the Testator isdeceased, on production of acopy of the entry of Death (inDenia Court in the case ofJávea) application can bemade TO MADRID, statingthe reason you want a copy,and asking where the latestdocument is held.

On production of theauthorisation from Madrid,the Notaria will provide youwith a Certified Copy of theOriginal Document.

Spanish Law stipulatesthe inheritance rights of aspouse and children, butallows a Brit to choose toleave their assets as they wish- even 100% to the cat or

dog’s home - but familyalways have the right tocontest the intentions of theTestator.

WorkNon-Spaniards - andespecially those who are notfluent Spanish speakers - willfind it VERY hard to getemployment. Employers paya punitive tax for employingstaff, so there is a huge‘black’ labour market wherethe government receivesnothing in respect of IncomeTax or Social Security, andthe employee has no rights,health cover or pension tolook forward to.

Autonomo - selfemployed - is one option, butskills that were amplyrewarded in the UK (PA tothe MD) are worthless inJávea, where villa-cleaning isall you might be offered. Thisis a huge generality, butDON’T listen to people whowill promise you work if yourelocate to Jávea - the chancesare 99.9% against.

OK, so now enjoy! 1. Do not argue with an idiot.He will drag you down to hislevel and beat you withexperience.2. The last thing I want to dois hurt you. But it's still on mylist.3. Light travels faster thansound. This is why somepeople appear bright until youhear them speak.4. If I agreed with you, we'dboth be wrong.5. We never really grow up,we only learn how to act inpublic.6. War does not determinewho is right - only who is left.7. Knowledge is knowing atomato is a fruit. Wisdom isnot putting it in a fruit salad.8. Evening news is wherethey begin with 'GoodEvening,' and then proceed totell you why it isn't.9. Whenever I fill out anapplication, in the part thatsays, 'In case of emergency,notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'10. I didn't say it was yourfault, I said I was blamingyou.

11. Women will never beequal to men until they canwalk down the street with abald head and a beer gut, andstill think they are sexy.12. Behind every successfulman is his woman. Behind thefall of a successful man isusually another woman.13. You do not need aparachute to skydive. Youonly need a parachute toskydive twice. Ray Cranfield

Come Fly with meSpare a thought forMichael O’Leary, ChiefExecutive of 'Ryanair'......

Visiting Jávea because he’dread so many reports of itsfriendship and welcome,Michael O’Leary went to abar and asked for a half-litreof draught Guinness.

The barman nodded andsaid, “That will be one €uroplease, Mr. O’Leary.”

Somewhat taken aback,O'Leary replied, “That's verycheap” and handed over hismoney.

“Well, we try to stayahead of the competition”said the barman. “And weserve free Guinness everyWednesday evening from 6until 8. We have the cheapestGuinness in Spain.”

“That’s remarkablevalue” Michael comments.

“I see you don't seem tohave a glass, so you'llprobably need one of ours.That will be 3 €uros please.”

O'Leary scowled, butpaid up. He took his drinkand walked towards a seat.

“Ah, you want to sitdown?” said the barman.

“That'll be an extra 2€uros - if you’d pre-bookedthe seat, and it would haveonly cost you one. I thinkyou may to be too big for theseat sir, can I ask you to sit inthis frame please?”

Michael attempts to sitdown but the frame is toosmall and when he can'tsqueeze in he complains“Nobody would fit in thatlittle frame!”

“I'm afraid if you can'tfit in the frame you'll have topay an extra surcharge of 10€uros for your seat sir.”

O'Leary swore tohimself, but paid up. “I seethat you have brought your laptop with you” addedthe barman, “and since thatwasn't pre-booked either, thatwill be another 3 €uros.”

O'Leary was soannoyed that he walked backto the bar, slammed his drinkon the counter, and yelled,“This is ridiculous, I want tospeak to the manager.”

“Ah, I see you want touse the counter” says thebarman, “that will be 2€uros please.” O'Leary'sface was red with rage.

“Do you know who Iam?”

“Of course I do Mr.O'Leary.”

“I've had enough, Whatsort of bar is this? I come infor a quiet drink and youtreat me like this. I insist onspeaking to a manager!”

“Here is his eMailaddress, or if you wish, youcan contact him between 9and 9.10 every morning,Monday to Tuesday at thisfree phone number. Calls arefree, until they are answered,then there is a talking chargeof only 10 cents a second."

“I will never use thisbar again.”

“OK sir, but remember,we are the only bar in Spainselling Guinness for a €uro.”

from Jacqui Blaylock

SECOND INCREASE INCAPITAL GAINS TAXIN AS MANY YEARS

Non-resident propertyowners in Spain will - from1st January 2012 - becharged CGT at 21%,following a rise in 2010 from18% to 19%.

In 2007 the EuropeanUnion pressured Spain tolower the 35% (15% forresidents) to 18%, saying thehigher rate was an unfairpenalty on non-residents. Anincrease of 1% in 2010 wentcomparatively unnoticed.

Spanish residents willalso feel the pain, with 21%CGT up to 6,000 €uros, 25%between 6,001 and 24,000€uros, and 24% on theremainder.

“THANKS” to Helenand Neil at

“Butchers’ Block”A surprise phone call toWelcome to Paradise onChristmas Eve, asked if wecould “Find good homes for4 unsold Turkeys?” When wecalled at Butcher’s Block, wewere surprised to see thateach bird was 7.6Kgs and, onhearing of Jávea needyfamilies, they added 9 traysof Chipolatas. One recipientfamily expected 10 forChristmas Day lunch, but thepiece of Pork in their freezerwas rotten. Thanks to Helenand Neil, everyone tucked-into Turkey! Give ‘em a clap!

PARAPROSDOKIANSI had to look up "paraprosdokian". Here is the definition:"Figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence orphrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used in a

humorous situation." "Where there's a will, I want to be in it," is a type of

paraprosdokian.
