Receiving the award, Vocento’s regional editorial director, Ben- jamín Lana, said: “The future of journalism depends on excellent morals and not technology.” In particular he drew attention to the group’s titles in the Basque Coun- try, El Correo and El Diario Vasco, and the high-risk work they did during years of ETA’s terrorist ac- tivity. He also added that the paper’s title in the Castilla y León region, El Norte de Castilla, is the oldest newspaper in existence in Spain, first published in 1854. Representing SUR at the cere- mony was Malaga-based editor-in- chief Manuel Castillo. Two other well-known journal- ists from Spain, Carlos Herrera and Susanna Griso, also received awards, as well as Mexican-born broadcaster on America’s Spanish- speaking Univision television channel, Jorge Ramos. Eisenhower Fellowships is a nonprofit organisation formed in 1953 to honour former US presi- dent, Dwight Eisenhower, and his contribution to humanity as a sol- dier and leader.

Iconic Malaga writer also rewarded for his life’s work

The Eisenhower Fellows also chose to honour a well-known Malaga writer at this year’s cere- mony. Manuel Alcántara was given the lifetime achievement prize at the First Amend- ment awards, al- though, at his 89 years of age, he was Manuel Álcantara too frail to travel to New York. Alcántara has written more than 20,000 arti- cles and hundreds of poems. For many years he has been a colum- nist in Vocento’s Spanish regional newspapers. Receiving the prize on his behalf, Manuel Castillo of SUR said that Alcántara had “an intense way of looking at the world, like Cervantes, with drops of scepticism”.

:: MARINA MARTÍNEZ MALAGA. As part of the Malaga Gas- tronomy Festival last Saturday there was a workshop on the secrets of mak- ing an authentic ajoblanco (a chilled almond and garlic soup). Experts at the event explained that the base for this soup (and for gazpacho) is simply bread, oil, gar- lic, vinegar and salt to which other ingredients are then added.

Little by little olive oil is Ajoblanco soup is traditionally served in glasses. :: FERNANDO. GONZÁLEZ added to the mortar along with the rest of the ingredients to produce a thick liquid. “It is better if it isn’t ground too finely and the crusts are left on the bread,” pointed out the founder of the Asociación de Mujeres Cocineras AMUCO, Gua- dalupe Montejo. Although it is recommended that only the oil from the Hojiblanca variety of olive is used, other types of olive oil can be substituted. The soup is usually chilled and served garnished with white grapes. Alternative additions to the tradi- tional recipe include slices of mango and chopped apple. Other more contemporary recipes suggest serv- ing the soup hot or using it as a sauce to accompany cod. May 12th to 18th 2017 57 SUR IN ENGLISH

In what was an ugly fix- ture in Murcia on Wednesday night, Unicaja managed to come out on top and maintain their push for a home advantage in the play- offs with a 88-95 victory. In a match that was plagued by individual errors, Unicaja fell be- hind after five minutes with Brooks weak in his defensive play (14-11). However, such is the depth on his side’s bench, that coach Joan Plaza could shake up his person- nel to bring immediate dividends.
