What is a Lawyer ?

In response to Ivan’s post. In accepted English usage, a lawyer is someone who practices law.  End of.  Being “qualified” has nothing to do with it, anyone can be a lawyer if they can demonstrate that they practice law in either an amateur or professional capacity.  That doesn’t make them “unable” to deal with a legal issue.  There is no alternative word in Spanish and therefore expats often think that “lawyer” means “abogado”.  It does not.  When asked “who was your lawyer/abogado when you bought your house” people often give the name of a gestor or assessor.  They are not abogados either but they are perfectly entitled to refer to themselves as lawyers.

I think the point is rather that if you are choosing someone to deal with a legal issue for you, they must be professional  – their Invoice must attract VAT. If they have specifically told you they are abogados, that is a different matter and Ivan is absolutely right.  However in Spain as in the UK an individual is perfectly entitled to act for themselves in all legal matters, there is no obligation to use an abogado, lawyer, gestor etc other than in some Court representations where a Barrister (Procurator) must also appear, just like there is no obligation to use a qualified mechanic to fix your car.  If you are proficient (language barrier excluded) then it is no different to any other profession, although most of us would rather not attempt to take our own gall bladder out!

A final note – qualified abogados can also be complete charlatans, being registered will never make a bent one straight.      Bill D

Services Available-Work Sought

I am a British lady in her fifties looking for employment for the period 11 July to 9 September, all or part.

I currently work as an English teacher but my contract is only for the 9 month period of the school year and I need additional work to supplement my income.

My Spanish is still very basic, so I wouldn’t be able to work as a waitress, shop assistant, etc. where it would be necessary to speak to the general public.

If you know of any employment opportunities or need further information please email me. Thank you.

What’s on –Phoenix Club Day Trip

The Phoenix Club are off on a jolly to Almunecar on Friday 27th May with a visit in the late afternoon, to the Rum Factory on the outskirts of Motril included.
Almunecar is a large seaside town, situated east of Nerja and just past beautiful La Herradura.  The Phoenicians were the first to discover this lovely place at around 1500BC and then followed by the Romans, the Moors and finally the Christians.
There is a lot to see in Almunecar, notwithstanding the quaint market which is held on Fridays.  The Majuelo Botanical Gardens, the Bonsai Museum, the Arabic Castle of San Miguel, the Roman Aqueduct, Loro Sexi Bird Park and the Achaeological Museum which has the best pottery antiquities collection and is the home of the cremation urn of the Pharoh Apofis the 1st and is inscribed with the earliest text on the Iberian Peninsular are all interesting places to visit.
You can pick up a guide at the Tourist Information Office on Avenida de Europa.

Services Available –Checks on Lawyers
The choice of a lawyer is very important. In Spain, some people sell
themselves as ¨lawyers¨ but in fact they are not. Trevor´s story seems very
familiar to me and I can list many, many other stories regarding people who
sell themselves a lawyers.

I have learned from this in more than 10 years in local businesses and that is why I always check whether the person involved is really registered as a lawyer in Spain.

Do you have any doubts?
Please send the full name of the person involved to

jvandolder1970 @ gmail.com and I will do a check for free.

After this you can decide for yourself whether or not you would like to continue working with that person.

For privacy reasons I cannot and will not mention names in public.

Recommendation – Las Orquideas, Los Romanes

We have just returned from having an excellent evening at Las Orquideas in Los Romanes! We heard that the restaurant had a new chef and we were very satisfied with the good food and the service at the restaurant! We started with having a drink at the terrace with the most spectacular view over the Lake Vinuela and the surrounding villages. After that we sat down at a well prepared table inside the restaurant. We ordered food from the new chef´s menu, an absolute delight and beautifully presented. We will definitely be back!

Recommendation- Passport Photos

A big recommendation for the New York Studio near the church/underground car park in Torre del Mar.

The photographer was friendly, efficient, took two photos and gave me a choice then I watched him run the photo through software that checked all the UK passport requirements before explaining them to me and printing out perfectly sized 4.5 x 3.5 photos.  For this he charged me 4€ for four passport sized photos with an option to have more if I wished.

So, a big thank you and recommendation for the New York Studio, we have tried others with less success,  this is by far the best and most professional.

Responses to – “Car Insurance Needed“

(1)I don’t understand this post.(Reproduced below)                                                       I do know that a ‘foreign’ (not Spanish reg) vehicle can only legally be in Spain for 6 months at a stretch. I don’t know how long it has to then be out of Spain?
Years ago people would drive over a border for a few days and then supposedly restart a further 6 months but that wasn’t really legal.

Perhaps Glenda is back and forth a couple of months at a time. Can you get her to explain as there is no contact details?

Cheers, Keith

“I recommend Rightway car insurance of Calahonda,
I have insured my English plated car with them for
many years, the car is covered all year in Spain and
three months outside. We had an accident last year
and their company handled everything extremely
well.   Glenda”

(2) Having been insured with Abbeygate for three years, I have now changed to Liberty Seguros, and I’d like to recommend their brokers who are based in Estepona, Evelyn and Alan Harris (evelyn@hispain.es). The service they have offered has been exemplary, the premium lower, for better coverage. For example, this cover offers me a replacement vehicle if I breakdown as well as if I’m involved in an accident, and I will be taken home as well in the event of an accident disabling the car – unlike my previous insurer.
One thing you sometimes aren’t aware of until you need it is that Gibraltarian insurers (such as Abbeygate) do not have access to the Spanish insurers database. This can cause problems when you come to insure with a different provider based in Spain – no claims bonuses, etc.

Recommendation – Citizens Advice Spain

This a voluntary body, working with no government funding and relying entirely on donations to keep going. You can contact them via their web page, www.citizensadvice.org.es. This seems to be the one place that expats, faced with local or national bureaucracy, can get straight, correct and legally verified answers to problems.

I can’t recommend them highly enough, but do please make a small donation to help them keep going. It can be anything from €5 upwards, although of course if you can afford more, they would welcome it with open arms.

Puppy – Dilly

We went to the English Market at Trapiche wearing my special ‘Axarquia Animal Society Adopt Me Scarf’  hoping to find my new owner.   After looking all round the market we found a quiet place for me to play.  We met lots of people who made all sorts of oohing and aahing noises and said how wonderful I was but no one took me home.   My rescuer said that here in Spain there are many people suffering from a terminal illness called ‘Great Age Disease’  –  and this means that they think they will die before I do !   I don’t understand any of this but don’t I look pretty in my red scarf………..

My rescuer seems to be getting very fond of me – he says my new owner will have to be a very special person…….

Wanted –Briwax
I am looking for a supplier of the furniture wax called Briwax. It’s a wax with colour like Victorian Pine which protects and colours wood without gloss and allows the natural grain of the wood to show through.

don’t seem able to locate a supplier here in Spain.

It is very flammable if left in heat which is perhaps why it is so hard to find here. Does anybody have any knowledge of where I might track down this product here in Spain or of anything similar?
Looking forward to hearing from any body with any ideas.

Home Needed for Lola  

Hi, I am Lola. I am desperate. I need to find my forever home very soon. Or even a new foster home would be nice. More than three months ago I was so, so terrified when nice people found me and took me to the rescue shelter in Torrox. I did not like to be there because I am so tiny and all the others are so big and noisy. Happily I found a foster home but unfortunately my foster mom has now to travel to her home country.
As you can see I have nice big ears and I am very vigilant. My foster mom says I look like a bat! She says bats are beautiful. I follow all the time my foster mom and don´t like to run anywhere. I am may be 4 years old and only 4 kg – very handy size.
I am chipped, vaccinated and sterilised . For more information contact marja dot kotiranta at outlook dot com or 674 532 428 or katja dot hakala dot 68 at gmail dot com or Tail Torrox.

 

Kittens Need Homes

There are 4 special kittens, 6-weeks old and all very different from each other – now available for adoption. Their mother Rosa is a very calm and affectionate ex-campo cat who is now a family pet. All are litter-box trained.

Contact denise . carlini @ mail. com for more info or to arrange a meeting.

Females:

Lucy is playful with very attractive white and black markings.

Mewsley, black with some white, is well-socialized. Also probably a good hunter as she has her mum’s genes.

Daisy is dainty and very lovable. Would make a great companion cat.

And 1 male – Tiger – with beautiful tabby markings.

He is placid and has an affectionate nature.

 Land Registry Enquiry

Some months ago there was an article about increased Land Registry charges levied by Torox council and if I remember the couple involved challenged the new drumbed up charges and got a result.
I would like to make contact with the couple concerned as the same thing is happening to me.
Hope you can help and thanks in advance.

Local Information – A Thought- or Two

(1)I had to smile when I read the desperate plea of a Torrox resident for more publicity of local activities. When my family and I moved to Torrox back in the late 1990’s, we all used to complain about the exact same thing, blaming the slothfulness of the local Ayuntamiento.
There are often wonderful things happening around the pueblo, generously put on by local groups and associations, and there’s nothing more frustrating than finding about them ‘after the event’, as it were.
In the end we took matters into our own hands and started a little newsheet called ‘The White Village’, detailing local news and events around Torrox, getting much of our info from the councillor in charge of cultural activities. We were pleasantly surprised that the council was very helpful, and more than happy to keep the extranjero’s content, (there was only a dozen or so of us then mind you!).
Perhaps someone needs to act as a mole and find out what cultural events the council do indeed know about – and then let the rest of the community know…?! (Perhaps it’s you Gordon?!)
Regards, Malcom

(2) Torrox theatre – yes,, it is the best kept secret.  I’ve only been to one show.
My choir master from Coraxalia choir tried to book the theatre for a joint rehearsal with One Voice, and he couldn’t get anywhere with them.

Nevertheless – Our Concert at the Granada choirs festival was wonderful and we came first.  (Any singers out there want to join us for Carmina Burana next March?).  Over to you, Gordon.

 

I’m Off Again – Will You Join Me ?

It’s that time of year again, spring is well and truly in the air and my feet are itching to start walking along another Camino de Santiago trail. As far as notice boards I’ve also been trying to get them reinstalled, to no avail.  So notices about art Exhibitions and cultural events end up being stuck on walls.  I’ve written to the Ayuntiamiento and the mayor but my pleas have fallen on deaf ears

I have already traversed Spain from east to west, from south to north, from Mediterranean to Atlantic and through Portugal from Lisbon, always reaching Santiago de Compostela and twice walking further to Finisterre.  So far I have walked almost 3,000 kms during my previous three caminos and I am about to add a further 1,000+ kms with my latest adventure.

I shall be walking from the French border along the northern coast of Spain as far as Ferrol and then inland to Santiago de Compostela and maybe further to Finisterre once again.  This journey will take in three Caminos – Camino del Norte, Camino Ingles and Camino Fisterra.  I have plotted 40 days of walking, a lot of it quite strenuous, but continuously through stunning scenery.  I am expecting a lot of rain and have prepared my gear accordingly, but am really hoping to be as lucky with the weather as I’ve been in the past and see plenty of sunshine and blue skies which will enable me to take lots of lovely photos.  I will be walking every step of the way, carrying all my gear on my back and staying in pilgrim albergue accommodation wherever it is available (mixed dorm, bunk beds and lots of snoring!) and I am bound to meet lots of interesting characters.

It would be great to have your company on my journey.  You can follow my progress via my blog where I post at the end of every day including a description of that day’s walk and, if the weather permits, some photos of the beautiful places that I pass through.  You will be in good company, I have a lively bunch of followers who take the time to comment on my daily reports.  You can sign up to receive an email whenever I post an update or just dip in now and then – the choice is yours.  You can find my blog at www.magwood.me.  I leave Compéta today to fly to Santander and then get a bus to Irun where I will start walking tomorrow (by which time I sincerely hope that the current weather forecast for thunder and lightning storms will have changed to something much more welcoming).

Whilst I am walking my partner David will be (metaphorically) rattling his tin, trying to raise sponsorship funds in favour of CUDECA Cancer Hospice and Save the Children.  All funds raised will go to the charity concerned,  I am covering all of my travel expenses myself. Maggie Woodward

 

 

Services Available – DoctorLaptop’s Tips #51 and New Special
1. VLC Player may not be your best option in media players anymore. While it’s
still the most popular free, reliable media player available, you need to be
aware of your options. If you watch videos in VLC in HD, .mp4 or .mkv formats
and they are less than crystal clear, or if you see color shadows or bars when
viewing you are not alone. My personal fav media player is Pot Player (please
quit giggling). Pot Player has a unique hardware acceleration feature which
makes sure that the video is played without any hindrance even on PC’s having
low hardware specs. It supports all kinds of HD including those using 3D
glasses! Moreover it supports almost every existing codec/format.
Download Pot Player here only, ignore the Korean info, the player is set to
English by default: https://potplayer.daum.net/
Other media players I recommend are KM Player and GOM Player.
Read more about your choices here: http://techarena.org/best-media-player-2016
2. Windows 10 Updates may delete programs you have installed if it deems them
“undesirable”. Reports that it removed the popular Speccy, CPU-Z, HWMonitor,
and CCleaner programs are common. Others claim it removed hardware drivers
like Intel Rapid Storage Technology and AMD Catalyst Control Center. In some
cases, people even reported that it removed PDF viewers and antivirus
programs. Confusingly, it seems like the Windows update removed these programs
from some computers but not others. Read more at:

Services Available-Solution for Electricity supply problem

Many times, when there is a storm (thunder/lightning), the supply will often trip out, it is always the main switch (RCD/RCB) “Interruptor diferencial in Spain” in the consumer unit that trips.  When you are away, you need a continuous service in fridge, alarm, swimming pool, that requires a continuous electricity supply.

In this case, it is possible to install a

Self-reclosing RCCB to ensure service continuity.

Recommendation Needed-Car Insurance

Any recommendations on companies to insure my newly Spanish-plated Mini Cooper S?   Many folks have suggested Linea Directa to me, but much to my surprise, I was told by their agent that they could not insure a Mini Cooper except as a second car!

What’s on-   Shhhhush – Torrox has a Theatre

Having lived in Torrox Pueblo for four years we know there is a theatre (its hidden down the side of the senior school in Isaac Albeniz, Rabatilla ….so not actually in the pueblo or the Costa), but apparently the Ayuntamiento has no interest in promoting any programme of activity which might appear there.
On Saturday 2nd April there was an excellent evening of “el tango y la chanson” performed by four accomplished musicians. The audience? There were eleven of us!
Were there posters in the village, Costa, El Morche? No
Were there posters in the tourist offices? No
Was there a listing on the Ayuntamiento’s official site or in town hall office?  No
Or the local town radio? No
Is it the truth that the Ayuntamiento doesn’t know, or care, what to do with its 7.000,000 plus ‘cultural buttonhole’?
Oh by the way we read of the concert on the site of a Malaga based booking agency!

Maybe the reason there is no promotion of activities in Torrox is because, over a year ago the Ayuntamiento removed the only three notice boards in the village…..and never replaced them so now anyone hoping to ‘catch’ an event needs to ‘know’ through the local drums where things are!
Asking a local usually brings the response “it’s where it was last year”.
Come on Torrox, _ poner en sitio los tableros de anuncios …..ahora!

Recommendation Needed-Air Conditioning

We are considering putting air conditioning in 2 small bedrooms which are only used every August when our family come. These two bedrooms share a small balcony at the back of the house and we wonder whether it would be better to have two units inside sharing one unit outside on the balcony.  This is slightly more expensive than to have two units outside but does anyone know if this is a better option?

Water Restrictions in Competa

1. JOSE LUIS TORRES GUTIERREZ, Mayor of Cómpeta, under the authority stated in the law 7/1985, the 2^ndof April, letter e9, 1 of article 21, regulating the bases of local government,

Dictates the following:

The town hall of Cómpeta informs everyone that because of the recent lack of water, due to insufficient rain, the Town Hall bans-

-Watering of land, gardens, trees, streets, terraces,…

-Use of water for swimming pools, fountains,…

-Washing of vehicles and other objects.

This means there is only one way water can be used –  for human consumption.

Thank you everyone for your help and understanding,

1. José Luis Torres Gutierrez (Alcalde de Cómpeta)

 

 

Residency ?

My partner and I have always thought we were residents by default – we’ve lived here permanently for eleven years now and have entered tax returns etc each and every year. However we now want to import a UK plated car and obtain a Spanish driving licence and have been advised we need the full residency certificate to do so. Friends have advised we need to complete the ex18 form and we have a link to what other items we need. So I am really just seeking any tips or experiences that people have had who have done the same. Many thanks. Email  littlenige at mail dot com    .and Digamextra please

 

My experience of Scalewatcher.

As my boiler was repeatedly cal-ing up I bought a Scalewatcher, which was very expensive. After a number of weeks the boiler caled up again so I got a filter system installed and also contacted Salewatcher stating that the unit was not working. They exchanged the unit saying the original was faulty. From then I had both systems running and had no cal in the boiler. I have changed the filters at regular intervals. 2 years ago the Scalewatcher lights went out after about 5 years use and I removed it and sincet then there has been no cal in the boiler. So it would seem that the Scalewatcher had no effect at all as the filter system removed the cal.   Robert

I wonder if there are any Printer-aware Digamites who can offer me advice on a problem with my “Epson XP-322”

Taking ages to print, wifi light not lit, yet is apparently connected.

Any help appreciated ( Epson support, useless). Trying to avoid buying a new one If I can.

Please contact me :

by email: jon108 @ Hotmail dot co dot uk.

Many Thanks

What’s on Nerja, Dog Obedience, Socialisation & Agility Classes

Having problems with your dog ??

All dogs, large or small, good or badly behaved welcome.
Also, if you are experiencing particular difficulties with your dog,
we can offer One to One Private sessions, to help owners deal with
more specific problems such as :
Aggression – towards other dogs, people & other animals.
Possessiveness – over food, toys & bed etc.
Greeting – barking or jumping up at you, visitors or people you meet on the street.
Excessive barking – this could be due to territorial, guarding behaviour, boredom, frustration or separation anxiety, or a combination of any of these.
Stress / Insecurity – following you or another family member constantly, destructive behaviour when left, barking or howling when left, constant licking or chewing of their own feet or legs, whining, shaking or hiding.
Toileting in the house (excluding young puppies) – scent-marking, urinating or defecating in the house. These are normally signs of stress, anxiety or dominance.
Fear – examples include: walking near traffic, loud noises (thunder / fireworks etc.), strangers, travelling in cars.
Obsessions – examples include: tail chasing, balls or toys, stones or sticks, vacuum cleaners,  brooms, mops, household sprays etc.
Recall issues – chasing cars, cats, cyclists etc, rushing up to other dogs (either to play or fight), stubborn refusal to recall from playing, scenting, hunting or any other distraction.
The Dog Academy assists dog owners in all of these problematic areas.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss your pets problem further.

Please do not send ads for property / real estate.

All formatting, pretty colours, bold, underlining, strange fonts etc are automatically removed.

Please – Don’t use all Block CAPITALS LIKE THIS or I may have to send it back for you to put into normal case (This is the way people normally write, with capital letters where appropriate – such as “I” and place names “Malaga”, makers’ names such as “Electrolux”,    days of the week “Monday”

You must include contact details, either an email address or a telephone number in the text. If you don’t I cannot publish it. Often I cannot “extract “your email address from the email, so repeat it please.

Your email address must be quoted in this forrmat…I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly   janekirkspain@gmail,com

if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –

janekirkspain @ gmail,com.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor.
