lt is worth goingto El Faro(lighthouse)

call this the Puentede Triana.)Also it's on four floors.Froma table on the rooftop

Bank bansyicarts
sonfor life for going
llp oYerdrawn
by Geoff Maynard
Bank chiefs have banned a
schoolboy for life because
his account went 11 pence
into the red.
Vicar's son Jerome
Jacob, 15.was told he could
never have another account
at HSBC, despiteoffering
to repay the money.
Jerome, who holds
down two part-time jobs
in between studying for his
GCSEs, went ovordrawn
when he bought a football
magazine using his debit
card.
After receiving a monthly statement, Jerome and his
father, the Reverend Neville Jacob, went into their local
branch in Romsey. Hampshire, to clear the debt. But they
were amazed when staff told them the account had been
closed and they could not open a now one.
Jeromesaid: "Their customer service was awful. When I
openedthe account, they told me it would be impossible to
go overdrawn when using my card."
Mr Jacob, vicar of Copthorne, Hampshire, added: "We
don't fault the bank for applying its rules. All we wanted
was a bit of common sense.'o
"My son was willing to repay the 1lp and apologise,but
they just were not interested.It was a flat refusal. My son
was quite upset."
oolt's
the first time he has gone overdrawn and I'm
astonished at their attitude. To say he can never go back
is ridiculous and the way he was treated was outrageous.
If they treated adults this way, they would soon be out of
business."
A spokesmanfor HSBC said: "This does not appear to
be in line with our commitment to our customers. Being
overdrawn by llp would not trigger the decision to close
the account and we will be investigating this incident."
Jerome,who doesapaperround and works part-time in a
tea room, has now applied for a Barclays account.
