Before taking the road, it is important to learn some details about wines: Let's go! Málaga grows wine since time immemorial, even if its traditional wine, the wine that travels around the world, is that known as wine with Designation of Origin Málaga (from now on, DO Málaga). Denominacion de Origen, the Spanish system for wine classification that fits the requirements of the European Union's top-quality wine category, guarantees wines' origin and quality, and in this designation, numerous types of wines are included, but for the moment we will focus on sweet wines, which are the best known, not the only ones, though. 4 www.visitcostadelsol.com index editorial . I n t r o d u c t i o n Málaga, Sun, Wine and Olive Oil Many people from Málaga who travel to far-off places have heard the phrase "Your town bears the name of a wine". For in the old days, when tourism was not that common, Málaga was not equalled to sun and beaches, let alone with a southern Spanish province -Málaga was just a type of wine. Indeed, in the beginning there was the land, then there was its wine, but it is true that this wine embraces the quintessence of the Mother Earth in which the grapes grow: its sun, sea, light, contrasts, the sweetness and joy of Málaga, all of which can be savoured in each sip. This is still so, but let's look retrospectively to know what the life of these Málaga's ambassadors, its wines, has been like. 1. mÁLAGA WINE THROUGH Before we start, we would like to offer one more detail: there was an epoch in which vineyards in Málaga covered 110,000 ha, while THE YEARS nowadays they cover only 5,000 in Axarquía, the Mountains of Málaga, the Serranía de Ronda, the Western Coast, and the Northern Region (Antequera). These areas maintain the deep mysteries of an ancient vineyard tradition more than 25 centuries old, marked by a rugged terrain, the sun and sea. On the banks of the Guadalhorce river, Phoenicians founded Mainake (Málaga) in the 12th century BC. They imported the first grapes and elaborated the first musts. From then on, Málaga has been transformed in a wine producing region. 5 www.visitcostadelsol.com index editorial . M á l a g a W i n e t h r o u g h t h e y e a r s Málaga, Sun, Wine and Olive Oil But we have to move back to the Roman period if we want to know how wine making and exports have permeated the local society. Today, traces of those centuries still remain. SOME REMAINS FROM THE OLD DAYS In Málaga, there are still some symbols that remind us of past times stressed by wine culture. You can visit Acinipo, the old Roman city in Ronda, whose name stands for "city Once in the 8th century, vineyards and wine production fermented the of wine", where a number of coins with a cluster of grapes stamped on them economy of southern Spain. At that period, as is still customary for them, have been found, a fact that tells a lot about the importance of grape growing in Muslims in Spain had to comply with Quranic laws, which prohibit alcohol the region. A visit to Acinipo is included in the wine route across Ronda. consumption, but they managed to turn a blind eye to religious regulations regarding this matter. In fact, during the seven centuries of Muslim rule, the In Cártama, some 30 km away from the capital city of the province of Málaga, a number of vineyards increased strikingly. Probably, the plantation boom was wine press was found in a plot of land dating back to the late Roman Empire. due to raisin production or to wine distillation for medical use, for people had The press consists in a prismatic fermentation vat that connects through some taken the habit of drinking some wine on behalf of health care.

M á l a g a W i n e t h r o u g h t h e y e a r s Málaga, Sun, Wine and Olive Oil ARAB CULTURE AND MÁLAGA WINE Almaccari de Tremecen is one of the few Arab writers whose texts have come down to us. He collected an anonymous poem where the vineyards in Málaga are praised: "Its land (Málaga) was covered with vineyards, one linked to the other until they reached mount Xolair (Sierra Nevada), which, when the vines were leafy, offered one of the most wonderful views in the world." He claims the wine was excellent, both the legal one and the wine forbidden to Muslims. There is a passage in his texts that is connected with this issue: the author comments that there was once a Muslim who, knowing that he was about to die, said, "pray to your Lord for mercy." And he, raising his hands to heaven, exclaimed, "Oh, My Lord! Out of all things I can do in Heaven, I only fancy drinking some Málaga Wine." 2002 was the year of the 5th centenary of this historical landmark in the Málaga Wine history, which was widely celebrated. The 17th century witnessed the beginnings of the Málaga Wine expansion, In the 15th century, Málaga, a seaport city, had already been weaving a and in the 18th century, it was already world famous.

Paula M. Mahoney, Trademark Examining Attorney, Law Office 113 (Odette Bonnet, Managing Attorney). _______ Before Walters, Chapman and Drost, Administrative Trademark Judges. Opinion by Chapman, Administrative Trademark Judge: The application involved herein was filed on February 13, 2001 by John Scott Dinsdale (a Canadian citizen, residing in California) to register on the Principal Register the mark GUARO for goods amended to read “alcoholic spirits made from sugar cane, in the nature of brandy and vodka” in International Class 33. The application is based on Mr. Dinsdale’s assertion of a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce. Ser. No. 78048188 The Examining Attorney has refused registration under Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1), on the ground that applicant’s mark GUARO, when used on applicant’s goods, is merely descriptive thereof. There is a second basis for refusal in the application. Specifically, registration has been refused based on applicant’s failure to comply with the Examining Attorney’s requirement for a “complete translation of the non-English word comprising the mark.” (Office action dated March 18, 2003, p. 2.) When the requirement for a complete translation of the mark and the refusal to register were made final, applicant appealed.

With the aim to tackle them, an interesting strategy is the study of food and ingredients with satiety properties. In addition to reducing food and/or calorie intake, this type of foods must be included as part of a healthy diet. With regard to this, it is well known that the Mediterranean Diet (MD) is a feeding pattern that helps us to maintain good health, providing an adequate intake of micronutrients and active compounds. With this background, the main aim of this research was to identify MD foods with a high satiating potential capacity. For this purpose, three typical foods of the Mediterranean region, mainly based on vegetables, were selected: hummus, ajoblanco and gazpacho. As a control, white bread was used. Twenty-four human healthy volunteers consumed a standard breakfast followed by the different typical Mediterranean foods, and then the subjective sensation of hunger and satiety for each food was assessed by visual analogue scales (VAS) during 3 h. Subsequently, volunteers had ad libitum access to a standard meal.

N. 00653/1 In the past few months, the Order has been preparing for a second beatification, once again, in Spain! This time it is the turn of Br. Leopold of Alpandeire, a friar who is close to our own times. His life was not distinguished for any spectacular works but rather for the simplicity and fidelity he put into everything he did. Of him it can be said that he was before all else a “man of God”, steeped in His Spirit. He was a questing friar, and so would go out every day among the people. His was not a position of power: he simply asked, and left the other person free. He would beg alms to support the friars, and leave the giver, in return, with serenity and peace, gifts of the Spirit. Questing in this form, as Br. Leopold exercised it, has all but disappeared in the Order. However, we do need to discover new ways of being present among the people as “lesser brothers”. “Subject to everyone in this world”, says St Francis in the Praises of the Virtues, to give them an opportunity of sharing and to offer them “His peace”, the peace of the Lord Jesus.
