Jackie Teasdale made the move to Burgau last July, in the peak of the summer, leaving behind a life in the UK. She chose the little western Algarvean village because it is unspoilt and you can still stroll around the streets enjoying the atmosphere without being consumed by tourism. Only a ten minute drive into Lagos, it is in Jackie’s opinion, one of the best towns in the Algarve, with everything to hand. According to the sign on the way in, Burgau has 7.000 inhabitants but it is hard to believe they live here all year round.

SPAIN Ex-pats have a voice

San Fulgencio, southern Alicante, is holding local elections with more ex-pats running than Spaniards. The huge concen- tration of British and Germans in the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol areas has resulted in a large number running as inde- pendent candidates eager to have a say in local politics. Until now many have simply enjoyed the quality of life offered but recent scandals in property ownership, including the so-called Land Grab law in Valencia resulting in many ex-pats losing huge sums of money to developers, has persuaded some to have a voice in the local council. One British man, Tony Cabban, has already been elected as a councilor in Javea, running as an independent to challenge issues around urban planning and other property issues presenting major headaches to foreign and local residents alike.

AUSTRALIA Cricket boycott

John Howard, prime minister of Australia has decided to withdraw his national cricket team from a scheduled tour of Zimbabwe in September of three one-day internationals. Mr Howard said he does not usually mix sport with politics but this time he had to intervene saying that if the tour took place it would be an “enormous propaganda boost” to Zimbabwe, referring to President Robert Mugabe as a “grubby dictator”. In his comments to the press he said: “Whilst it pains me both as a cricket lover and as somebody who genuinely believes these things should be left to sporting organisations, it leaves me with no alternative.”
