Whilst avoiding buying an annuity at 75 hasbeen a major benefit of QROPS, many pensionfund holders living in Spain see the benefitslisted above as being the most attractive intheir circumstances. However there is a lotmore to QROPS than this, and the new budgethas introduced a “buy now before your transfervalue falls” opportunity. The Government hasannounced that with both public and privatesector pensions, “inflation proofing”, i.e. themaximum rate at which pension benefits mayincrease each year will in future be based onthe Consumer Prices Index (CPI) instead of theRetail Prices Index (RPI). This will mean lowerannual increases in pensions and lowertransfer values to QROPS.

When QROPS were first introduced in the 2004Finance Act, and became widely available afterthe 2006 Finance Act, many commentators feltthe benefits being offered were “too good to betrue” and that they would not continue to beavailable long term. This has not proved to bethe case and if anything ensuing budget havemade QROPS transfers even more attractive.Recent developments mean that anyone witha UK pension fund who is now non residentshould be seeking advice on whether atransfer to a QROPS would be of benefit tothem. It costs nothing to find out.

Stephen Ward was a member of the UKGovernment’s Pensions Industry WorkingGroup advising HMRC on the pensions’legislation changes which introduced QualifyingRecognised Overseas Pension Schemes(QROPS) in the 2006 Finance Act.

In the last 2 years we have completed more than300 transfers of UK pension funds to QualifyingRegulated Overseas Pension Schemes mostlyto Guernsey or New Zealand.The reasons individuals choose such transfersvaries, but they mainly fall into 2 categories;those who are interested in reducing the tax ontheir pension income in Spain to less than 3%,who want to ensure that their beneficiariesreceive all of their fund on death, and who wishto avoid ever having to buy the dreaded Annuitywhen they do choose to take their income.

Others are prompted by some of these issuesbut in reality are seeking access to their cashnow as a lump sum so that they can utilise it forwhatever they wish, in some cases just gettingout of a financially sticky situation. This option,especiallyly when the fund is not particularlylarge, has been the choice of more than 75% ofour clients in these troubled times. But how, youmay ask, can this really be possible when therules in the UK preclude this? A major changein pension’s legislation has permitted transfersto overseas pension funds for expatriates since2006. For those seeking access to all of theirfund in cash, provided they have been nonresident for five complete, consecutive taxyears, UK regulations no longer apply, and it isthe regulations of the country where the QROPSis based that control the amount of the fundthat can be taken in cash. Hence thepopularity of a New Zealand QROPS.

Implications of the new Emergency Budgetfor PensionsThe new ConLib.Government’s emergencybudget introduced changes which will have amajor impact on most individuals with UK privatepensions.

The first significantchange is to abolish theeffective compulsion tobuy an annuity by age75

Many people enjoy sitting in the sunshine, thewarmth and the brightness of sun surelybrightens up our days and helps to lift ourspirits. However, staying out in the sun for toolong, without protection from its harmful rayscan cause serious damage to our bodies. Hereis some useful information to help youunderstand more about sunscreens and otherways to protect yourself and your childrenagainst the sun, whilst still enjoying itsbenefits.

How Sun Creams WorkThe chemicals mixed together in sunscreenproducts function to filter out the light from thesun to prevent large amounts of it reaching thedeeper layers of your skin, they allow somelight to penetrate it, but not as much as if therewas no sunscreen there at all. Manysunscreens will include a proportion of sunblock in with their formula. Total sun block willactually reflect the sunlight from the surface ofthe skin preventing the light from penetratingthe skin at all. Sun block is best for children andbabies

What Do They Screen The rays that cause the damage to the cells in ourskin are called ultraviolet radiation (UV) and theseactually damage the DNA in our cells and cancause skin cancer and burns, therefore, it is thisportion of the sunlight that is filtered or blocked bysunscreens. There are three regions of ultravioletlight:• UVA which penetrates deeply into the skin andthis can lead to cancer and premature aging of theskin• UVB which is involved in the tanning andburning of the skin, this affects the pigments onyour skin, causing them to deepen in colour.• UVC which is completely absorbed by theearth’s atmosphere and is not harmful unless youhave direct and prolonged exposure.It is the organic moleculesin sunscreens that absorbthese harmful rays fromthe sun and release theenergy as heat.

A Must Read....Safety In The Sun How to Enjoy the wonderful Spanish Sunshine...and keep safe!

So, What About SPF? Sun ProtectionFactor ie Factor 20

This number can be used to help youdetermine how long you are able to stay out inthe sun until you burn. Everyone’s skin has anatural SPF depending on their skin type andcolour, and how much melanin (a pigment inyour skin) it contains. The darker the naturalskin colour, the longer they are able to stay outin the sun until they burn. For example, if youcan stay out in the sun for 15 minutes withoutburning, you have a natural SPF of 15. TheSPF in sun creams is a multiplication factor thatcan be used with your natural SPF. So if youuse a factor 10 sunscreen on skin with anatural SPF of 15, you multiply the twotogether, and this gives you 150 minutes inwhich you are safe in the sun. Therefore, it isimportant to understand that the highersunscreen factor you use, the longer you canstay out in the sun without burning. This will notstop your skin from tanning; it will simply stop itfrom burning. For children and babies it isrecommended that you use total sun block astheir skin is very sensitive to UV radiation.

Remember it is the UVB radiation from thesuns rays that causes burning and damage tothe skin, so the SPF only refers to the level ofprotection from UVB rays. It is the UVAradiation that causes premature aging of theskin, so if you want to avoid this (and whodoesn’t!) make sure you choose a sunscreenwith UVA protection as well as UVB SPF, it willtell you the range of protection on the bottle.The sun is at its strongest when it is high in thesky, usually between 10am and 2pm so it isbest to limit your sun exposure during thesetimes, and its important to keep yourself hydra-ted with plenty of water all day. You can alsocover up sensitive areas of skin with lightweight clothing and keep in the shade if youfeel your skin getting too hot

Overall, follow these simple rules and makesure you enjoy your summertime and staysafe! Baywatch 2010

Muchas personas disfrutan sentándose al sol, y escierto que el calor y el brillo del sol alegrannuestros días y nos animan. No obstante,permanecer demasiado tiempo bajo el sol sinprotección contra sus dañinos rayos puede dañarseriamente nuestros cuerpos. Aquí le ofrecemosinformación muy útil para ayudarle a obtener másinformación sobre protectores solares y otrasformas de protección tanto para usted como paralos más pequeños de la familia, mientras disfrutande los beneficios del sol.

Cómo Funciona la Crema Solar Los productosquímicos mezclados en los productos para laprotección contra el sol funcionan de filtro contrala luz solar para evitar que grandes cantidades deésta lleguen a las capas más profundas de la piel.Permiten la penetración de parte de la luz, pero notanto como si no se utilizara protector solar.Muchos protectores solares incluyen unaproporción de pantalla solar dentro de su fórmula.Una pantalla total en realidad refleja la luz solar yevita que la luz penetre en absoluto en la piel. Serecomienda sobre todo para niños y bebés.

Qué FiltranLos rayos que dañan las células de nuestra pielson los ultravioletas (UV) y de hecho dañan el ADNde nuestras células pudiendo causar cáncer de piely quemaduras, por tanto, es este componente dela luz solar el que los protectores solares filtran obloquean. Existen tres regiones de luz ultravioleta: • UVA – que penetran con profundidad en la piel ypueden causar cáncer y el envejecimientoprematuro de la piel. • UVB – que contribuye al bronceado y quemadode la piel; afecta a los pigmentos de la pielcausando el cambio del color de la piel a un tonomás oscuro. • UVC – que es absorbido porcompleto por la atmósfera de laTierra y no es dañino al menosque se produzca una exposicióndirecta y prolongada. Son lasmoléculas orgánicas en losprotectores solares las queabsorben estos rayos dañinos yliberan la energía en forma de calor.

¿Y el Factor de ProtecciónSolar? (Por ejemplo: Factor20) Este número sirve paraayudarle a determinar laduración de su exposición alsol antes de quemarse. Todoel mundo cuenta con unFactor de Protección Solar natural que de-pende del tipo y color de piel, y de la cantidad demelanina (el pigmento que colorea su piel) quecontenga. Cuanto más oscuro sea el color natu-ral de la piel, más tiempo podrá permanecer unapersona al sol antes de quemarse. Por ejemplo, sipuede permanecer al sol 15 minutos sin que-marse, usted tiene un Factor de Protección Solarnatural 15. El Factor de Protección Solar de lascremas solares es un factor multiplicador quepuede usarse con su Factor de Protección Solarnatural. Por lo que si utiliza una crema solar deFactor 10 sobre una piel con un Factor de Pro-tección Solar natural 15, entonces debe multipli-car ambos, lo que le da 150 minutos de seguridadbajo el sol. Por ello, es importante quecomprenda que cuanto mayor sea el factor queutilice, más tiempo permanecerá bajo el sol sinquemarse. No evitará que su piel coja color;simplemente evitará que se queme.

En el caso de niños y bebés se recomienda el usode factor total ya que sus pieles son muysensible a los rayos UV.

Recuerde que la radiación UVB es la queprovoca quemaduras y daña la piel, por lo que elFactor de Protección Solar sólo se refiere al nivelde protección contra los rayos UVB. Son losrayos UVA los que provocan el envejecimientoprematuro de la piel, por lo que si desea evitarlo(¡y quién no!) asegúrese de utilizar un protectorsolar con protección contra rayos UVA y UVB; enel bote le indicará la cantidad de protección. Elsol es más potentecuando se encuentra en lomás alto, normalmente entre las 10 de la mañanaa las 2 de la tarde por lo que se recomienda limi-tar su exposición solar durante estas horas, y esrecomendable mantenerse bien hidratado conbastante agua durante todo el día. Tambiénpuede cubrir partes sensibles de la piel con ropaligera y póngase en la sombra si ve que su piel seestá calentando mucho. En definitiva, ¡siga estas simples reglas y suverano de forma segura!

Irene Donaldson Completes theMoonwalk in

Edinburgh to raisemoney for

Cancer ResearchIn the previous edition of the BaywatchMagazine we reported that Irene Donaldson, from Chiclana, was taking partin the Moonwalk, a half marathon walkaround Edinburgh, Scotland, to raisemoney for breast cancer sufferers and theirfamilies. We are pleased to say that Irenesuccessfully completed the challenge, andthis is what she has to say about the event:“Midnight 19 June and 10,000 women began

to walk the streets of Edinburgh, displayingtheir brightly-coloured bras. Some bra- wearingmen also joined the half-marathon, all to raisemoney to fund research into breast cancer, tosupport those suffering from the disease and togive support to their families. The eveningbegan in the large pink tents erected in the parkwhere we were entertained by a variety ofshowbiz personalities. As the start timeapproached, we joined hands for a veryemotional minute to reflect on our journey tothe Moonwalk and to remember those whowere not with us. One in nine women will bediagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Many of Edinburgh's landmarks were lit up pinkand it was a truly phenomenal experience aswe walked through the night until the earlyhours of the morning. Apart from raisingawareness of breast cancer and - of course -getting fit, the aim is to raise money.

12

Thanks to my generous friends in Chiclana andEdinburgh, I raised my target of £1,000 and theEdinburgh Moonwalk has raised almost £5million in total. The Moonwalk moves to Bristolnext, then Newcastle. Anyone got any ideas onhow to organise a Moonwalk in Chiclana? ”Irene´s husband Eric tells us that as the sunrose over Edinburgh at about 3.30 am onSunday morning, Irene celebrated her half-marathon achievement with a glass of red wineand a bowl of porridge! If you would like to helpto organise a Moonwalk in Chiclana or feel thatyou would take part if there was one in the areato join, please email us here at [email protected], if you havent already sponsored Ireneyou can still do so via her website www.walkthewalkfundraising.org/irene_donaldson

6) If you buy a house off plan from a developer oragent they will ask you to sign a purchase contractand pay a deposit. You must take legal advice beforeyou sign the contract. Remember all contracts inSpain are in Spanish. Some agents offer an Englishtranslation but not all. If your solicitor is happy withthe contract you will sign and pay a reservation depo-sit. You will then make stage payments for theproperty. The conditions of the stage payments arevariable and dependant on whether you are buying apre-built house or you are having the house built foryou. They are negotiable and your solicitor will dealwith them .

7) If you are buying a resale property it is normal tosign a compraventa (a promise to buy) and make adeposit. Again you need to speak to your solicitor be-fore you take this step. The deposit is normally ne-gotiable and depends on how soon you can finallysign and pay for the house. Deposits are non refun-dable.

8) There are a lot of papers which need to be chec-ked prior to purchasing a house and the first step is toobtain a Nota Simple for the property. This is nor-mally supplied by the selling agent but you can obtainthem on line or direct from the appropriate CouncilOffice for the area. This document requires a specia-list to look over it in order to assess the legal situationregarding the property. In addition many other thingsmust be checked prior to purchase as debts in Spaingo with the property not the owner.

9) Providing your solicitor is happy with all thepaperwork the next step would be the preparation ofa private contract (this only applies to resale proper-ties). This document is drawn up by the seller’ssolicitor and details the agreement for the sale of thehouse.

10) The next step is an appointment at the Notarywith all parties involved in the sale and purchasing ofthe property. You will require your passport and NIEdocuments as copies will be taken by the Notary. TheNotary will read over the sale of the property andexplains any pertinent points to the purchaser. If youdo not speak Spanish to a good level a translator willbe required to translate what is being said and vouchfor the fact that you understand the proceedings andwhat you have agreed to.

If you have any questions or need some moreadvice about property buying or selling in Spain,Cadiz Casa on 956 495 177

Buying and selling property inSpain can be complicated sohere is a simple 10 step guide tohelp you through the process,with estate agents, Cadiz Casa.

1) Consider carefully what type of property you wantto buy and make a list of the most important points.Use the internet to source information about the townor area you have in mind. Make a note of the agentsin the area who appear most often during your search.Companies with a high profile in the area are gene-rally the larger companies who have been establis-hed longer.

2) Always use a reputable estate agent. An SLcompany is the best as they are the equivalent of aLimited Company and will be registered at the Spa-nish equivalent of Companies House (Registro Mer-cantil) in Madrid. Ask for the company´s CIF number(registration number) and this will make it easy tolocate them in the Mercantil.

3) Before you can buy a house or a car in Spain yourequire a NIE number. This can be obtained throughyour solicitor or in person at the appropriate PoliceOffice. It can take 1-7 days, depending on how busythey are. This number is yours for life. If you decideto live in Spain it can be converted into a residential IDnumber.

4) When you meet the agent make clear to them whatyou want to buy, i.e how many bedrooms, bathrooms,what location, any special requirements most impor-tantly tell them the total budget. Remember in Spainthe house price has to have 7% of taxes plus othercosts added on. If you allow 10% to12% of the houseprice over and above this should cover you. Do not beafraid to tell the agent what you think of each house asyou view. If you are viewing with more than 1 agentin the same area you may be shown the same housetwice. All agents ask their clients to sign a viewingform. This form ties you to the agent with whom youhave viewed the property. If you are taken to thesame house with another agent you cannot buy withthem or you will be in breach of contract with the firstagent. If you are taken to the same house by a se-cond agent tell them that you have already viewed.

5) Once you have found the right house you need todecide if you want to return to Spain to sign all thepapers or if you want someone else to do that on yourbehalf. It may be cheaper and easier for you to makea Poder. This is a power of attorney in another per-sons name so they can sign all the paperwork for you.You may wish to appoint a relative who lives in Spain,a friend or your solicitor.

It would appear that we British are a soft touchwhen it comes to taking in rescue dogs. My owndog Rico falls into this category. Like many othershe was found near the bins, a tiny scrap of fur,covered in paint and cement. Home with us hecame, scared and hungry,and after a difficult start,a lot of patience and hard work and love he grewinto a wonderful faithful dog. Rico loves it whenother dogs come to stay and share all his toys. Hisonly fault is ‘ tennis balls’, of which he has somesort of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder! Anyonewho is sitting down is fair game to play ball for anhour or six. So when you visit us make sure youhave plenty of time to spare, or stay standing!!!Rico’s chum Max, another rescue dog, has asimilar problem. He also has the amazing ability ofgetting 3 tennis balls in his mouth at one time. Heis the only dog I know that can do this. Unless youknow different!

Walk of the Month: Chiclana Woods.I have been visiting Chiclana Woods and Park forover 5 years, both with my own and visiting dogs.There are so many different types of walk therethat you never get bored and it is very safe anddoggie friendly.

You can go for the flat and easy walk by sticking tothe laid out Caminos. Or, for the more playful dogs,you can walk all through the trees, collect pinecones and watch the rabbits. For the moreenergetic you can climb up the fairly steep slope tothe top and look out over the woods and across toChiclana or Barossa. You can follow the easy pathto the old quarry. Beautiful. The dogs love it too.Plenty of space to run. There are stone picnictables, benches and water taps on route.

Parece que los británicos tenemos un puntodébil cuando se trata de la recogida deperros. Mi perro Rico entra dentro de estacategoría. Como muchos otros lo encontra-mos cerca de la basura, una pequeña matade pelos, lleno de pintura y cemento. Nos lotrajimos a casa, asustado y hambriento, ydespués de un comienzo difícil, muchapaciencia, trabajo duro y amor se convirtió enun perro magnífico y leal. A Rico le encantacuando vienen otros perros y comparte susjuguetes. Su único defecto son la "pelotas detenis", ¡ya que tiene un poco de complejoobsesivo compulsivo! Cualquiera que estésentado es ideal para jugar con la pelotadurante una hora o seis. Así que cuando ven-gan de visita asegúrese de contar con muchotiempo libre, ¡o permanecer de pie!

Max, el colega de Rico, otro perro recogido,tiene un problema parecido. También tiene lahabilidad de meterse tres pelotas de tenis ala vez en la boca. Es el único perro queconozco que puede hacer esto. ¡A no ser queconozcan a otro!

El Paseo del Mes: Los Bosques de Chiclana.Llevo yendo a los Bosques y al Parque deChiclana durante 5 años, con mis propiosperros y con los que vienen de visita. Existentantos caminos diferentes que nunca teaburres y es muy seguro para los perros.

Pueden dar un paseo por la parte llana y fácilsiguiendo los caminos ya marcados. O paraaquellos perros a los que les gusta jugar,pueden pasear por entre los árboles, recogerpiñas y mirar a los conejos. Para los másenérgicos, pueden subir la pendiente hasta lacima desde donde se puede ver Chiclana o laBarrosa. Pueden seguir el camino que va a lacantera vieja. Precioso. A los perros tambiénles encanta. Muchoespacio por dondecorrer. Existenmesas de piedrapara picnics,bancos y grifos a lolargo del camino.

Se puede acceder a los bosques desde laantigua carretera 340 de El Colorado. Estáindicado con claridad (junto a la gasolineraRepsol) o viniendo desde la carretera LasLagunas. Esta es la carretera que va desde laVenta Florín hacia la antigua 340. A mitad decamino, verán un giro a la izquierda, el callejónde Borreguitos. La segunda entrada al bosqueestá enfrente de esta carretera.

¿Tiene alguna ruta favorita que deseecompartir? Mándemela por email y laincluiremos la próxima vez.

Para terminar, me gustaría crear un Club/Sociedad/ Grupo de Apoyo para Perros en lazona de Chiclana. El motivo principal:1 Ayudar a aquellos que recojan perroscallejeros o abandonados con consejos (porparte de personas que hayan pasado por dichaexperiencia) y con ayuda práctica, si fueranecesario. 2 Prestar apoyo emocional ypráctico a personas que hayan perdido su perro.3 Compartir información sobre el Mundo de losPerros. Ya sea de forma oral o por medio de unboletín informativo. 4 Paseos mensuales.5 Actividades para recaudar dinero para lasasociaciones benéficas locales para perros. Sitiene cualquier idea sobre este tema mándemeun email a [email protected]

Michael Haynes Memorial Golf Day at VillaNueva Golf Club

A very popular and well loved member of thecommunity in Chiclana de la Frontera sadly dieda few months ago. To commemorate his life, aspecial golf tournament day was organised toraise money for a local cancer charity. Here isa message from Michael’s widow, Lynda Haynesto tell us more about the day.“I would like to thank everyone who participated in

the golf tournament on Thursday 20th May 2010 tocommemorate the life of my husband Michael, whodied of pancreatic cancer on 28th March this year.Despite the hurricane winds on the day, 40 golfersmanaged to complete the course, albeit a little worsefor wear. In the evening we had the prize giving anda meal. It was very emotional and wonderful for methat so many of Mick’s friends, as well as peoplewho didn’t know him so well, all turned up andplayed in such bad weather. I would like to thanksBryce and his staff at Villa Nuevo for donating atrophy and some of the prizes and also for makingthe event possible. I would also like to thankBill and BevMiller and John Murphy who organised

Further up the coast heading towards Rochesthere is a beach called Cala del Aceite, a seclu-ded coved beach just off the road to the harbour,with a wide sandy beach. It has very little facilitiesand some people may find access difficult;however it is a beautiful spot even if just viewedfrom the cliffs above. The Calas de Roche(pictured below) is a series of small covesbacked by steep cliffs with clear turquoisewaters. Access is primarily steps down the cliffside, however if it is seclusion that you arelooking for, then these small coves are for you.

Further along the beach is an unspoiledstretch of sandy beach backed by sand dunes,perfect in the summer months if the mainbeach is too busy. West of La Barrosa,towards the Island of Sancti Petri isPlaya Sancti Petri (picture below) anunspoiled beach with rock pools and sanddunes sheltering the beach. However thereare limited facilities.

CHICLANA DE LA FRONTERA AREAChiclana’s beaches are located 10-15 minutesdrive form the town centre. The main beach isPlaya la Barrosa (pictured below) which is a 8km long sandy beach with very good facilities,bars and restaurants that run along the mainpromenade.This is a very popular spot for locals andtourists alike.

CONIL DE LA FRONTERA AREAConil de la Frontera is a wide bay of brilliantgolden sand stretching for 14 km, backed bylarge cliffs to the north and small isolated coves.The main beach in town is Playa de Los Bateles,which is a long, sandy beach, ideal for familydays out, swimming and relaxing with goodfacilities and bars and restaurants nearby, it canbe busy in summer months. Playa La Fontanilla(pictured top) and Fuente de Gallo are acontinuation of Playa de los Bateles backed bylarge cliffs. In summer months these are lesscrowded and have adequate facilities.

CADIZ AREAOn the approach to Cadiz, running parallel to the main road is Playa de laCortadura a long unspoiled sandy beach, popular with those who want to getaway from the more populated beaches or to surf in Cadiz. There are no bars orrestaurants close to this beach so is an ideal picnic spot. If you are looking for amore urban atmosphere, Playa La Victoria, is situated just along the coast inCadiz new town and is a 2km long excellent sandy beach with many facilities,bars and restaurants, ideal for family days out. It is also the main spot for thefamous “Barbacoa del Carranza” which takes place in August. Paya de la Caleta(pictured right) is located in a small bay between the most impressive seafortifications in the old town of Cadiz making this place, one of the most popularbeaches.

This means that it should be a lot harder forpotential buyers to be duped into buying ahouse that appears to be normal and legal, butwas allowed to be finished and then occupiedbefore criminal proceedings were initiatedagainst the builder or the property. It also meansthat any house built before the law was passedwill not be affected, and unless it already has acourt case against it, or it is built on the beach,a riverbed, or on top of a monument, it shouldbe left alone.

I know that we won't be able to save everyhome, but if we even manage to save just one,I would like to feel that our efforts were not all invane. Please remember that local electionsstart early next year, so don't be tricked intothinking that Chiclana is “falling apart”, orChiFRA is “not pulling it's weight”.

This is the expected norm, as so many so called“concerned citizens” try to stir up the S**T to wincheap political points. Creating pressure groupsand then handing over the votes of people thatthey have frightened into a panic, to theirmasters. Believe me “they don't care aboutwhat is best for you”, they only want what is intheir own interest. The next time one of these“concerned” people have a dig, ask them to putit in writing; I am sure that they would bereluctant to put their name to it!

On a lighter note, our weekly ChiFRA RadioNews on 107,7 FM will be off air for the monthof August. We will be back on air after thesummer when the new radio station facilitieshave been re-fitted.

Have a great summer!Roger Alan HolmesPresident ChiFRAwww.chifra.org

Well here it is, the latest Hot news fromChiFRA!

The publication of the long awaited new, newtown planning document was announced onMonday the 12th of July, after months of planningand hard work. As with any public document, wehave a limited time to add our comments andrecommendations to it. ChiFRA is currentlyworking to those ends on behalf of ourmembership.

The main point is the addition of several hundred(if not thousand) houses to the previous PGOUplan (hopefully none have been removed). Allo-wing many innocent victims, to finally have theshadow of a bulldozer lifted from their home andoffered a chance to become part of the solution.As I was fortunate enough to buy my olderproperty with legal deeds, electricity and tele-phone etc. I can't imagine how much some ofthese good people must have suffered, living inthe 3rd world conditions that they were made toendure. Having their electricity cut off andtreated as criminals, for trusting a lawyer or otherprofessional person and investing their lifesavings in Spain.

I started to help ChiFRA when I noticed so manyof my friends and neighbours were living in thisdifficult and unjust way. Thanks to ongoingnegotiations there is talk that many homes maybe able to get their electricity re- connected bythe new year! I just hope that we can get asmany people as possible back to a normal 20thcentury lifestyle, with water and electricity, assoon as possible. Laws were passed inAndalusia earlier this year, stating that the localcouncils and government bodies now have thenecessary legal tools and the right to “Bulldoze”any new construction that has been built withoutthe proper paperwork, within one month fromdetection.
