Outraged Michael Schumacher fans bombard German magazine with complaints over front page photo of smiling F1 ace headlined 'AWAKE!'... which was about other coma victims

Angry Michael Schumacher fans have criticised a German magazine after they published a picture of the star smiling together with his wife Corinna under the headline 'awake'

Fans who bought the women's magazine Die Aktuelle discovered it was simply full of stories about people who had awoken after a coma.

German news portal News.de said they had asked the publisher if it had been a deliberate attempt to trick people into buying the publication, or simply careless subbing.

But the German publisher of the magazine, the Gong-Verlag, has so far declined to comment on the outrage over the allegations it was simply trying to cash in on the tragedy.

Michael Schumacher fans have complained after a German magazine published a picture of the star smiling together with his wife Corinna under the headline 'awake' (left). Mrs Schumacher is pictured (right) arriving at the hospital where her husband is being cared for in January

Schumacher's family have been told by doctors the F1 racing star is unlikely to wake up from his medically induced coma, which he was put in three months ago to reduce brain swelling following a skiing accident in the Alps where he hit his head on a boulder (file picture taken in 2000)

Reader Dr Gerd Hartmann wrote in the comments section of News.de: 'Such magazines are simply terrible, especially given that the chances of survival with this type of therapy are abysmal. Out of 10 patients 5 would never recover, 3 will be severely disabled and only 2 might recover.'

Another user posting as SchumiFan posted: 'I can't believe they are cashing in on this tragedy, there should be a law against this type of shoddy, sensationalist and downright insulting journalism.'

On Twitter, one Schumacher fan said: 'The magazine should be sued. It is just terrible. Tasteless.'

Another wrote: 'It was just a blatant attempt to sell more copies of their mag through sensational stories.'

German media ethics expert Christian Schicha said: 'This is a clear attempt to deceive the readers. It is an obvious attempt to make money out of a sick man. It is completely tasteless. It is ethically completely out of the question.

'Die Aktuelle blatantly makes the impression through the headline that they know something new about the case. It is completely irresponsible. Schumacher’s family have suffered enough without this kind of story circulating.'

The family currently make a 150-mile round trip from their Swiss home every day to visit 45-year-old Schumacher in the Grenoble University Hospital in France where he is receiving treatment

The anger at the magazine's front page follows reports that wife Corinna, 45, is installing a £10m medical suite in their family home near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, so her husband can be cared for at home instead of the hospital.

They spend up to ten hours by his bedside, offering up prayers for his recovery, before returning home in the evening.

The family currently make a 150-mile round trip from their Swiss home every day to visit 45-year-old Schumacher in the Grenoble University Hospital in France where he is receiving treatment.

They have been told by doctors that the F1 racing star is unlikely to wake up from his medically induced coma, which he was put in three months ago to reduce brain swelling following a skiing accident in the Alps where he hit his head on a boulder.

Since then, there have been few encouraging signs of recovery and the racing ace has been wasting away in his hospital bed, losing 25 per cent of his body mass to now only weigh 8st 7lbs.

Last month it was reported Schumacher was airlifted to the 'wrong' hospital after his ski crash, losing vital hours to save him.

It was claimed he was rushed to a local clinic instead of being taken to brain specialists.

Gary Hartstein, the former chief doctor of Formula One say he believes this decision could have majorly affected his chances of recovery.

He told The Sun: 'You do not take patients with a suspected head injury to hospitals that do not have neuro-surgical capability.'

After being initially airlifted to Moutiers Schumacher was taken to Grenoble University Hospital, about 50 miles away where he has remained since.

Teacher saves his student's life by donating one of his KIDNEYS

A teacher has saved the life of a seriously ill pupil by giving her one of his kidneys

Ray Coe, 53, stepped in to rescue Alya Ahmed Ali, 13, after learning she was desperate for a donor. Ayla, from Stratford, east London, suffered from renal failure. She also has hydrocephalus - water on the brain - which has resulted in her having severe learning difficulties.

Her worried mother told Mr Coe during the summer term last year that Ayla  would be absent from school as she had to have kidney dialysis. Concerned, Mr Coe, a special educational needs co-ordinator, asked what he could do to help her. 'I said "Can I put my name down as a donor?" I knew what being a donor meant and I knew there was a possibility it could go ahead and I knew the implications. I knew exactly what I was doing.'There is a verse in the bible that says something like: "Maybe you were born for such a time as this". It just clicked and I knew then that it was right.'When we told Alya, she just gave me a big squeeze and her face lit up. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I think of that.'Gift: 'When we told Alya (with father Ahmed), she just gave me a big squeeze and her face lit up,' says Mr Coe. 'It brings tears to my eyes whenever I think of that'The pair went on to have blood tests and against all the odds, they showed that Ray was a match - despite not being related. The successful transplant went ahead at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital in February.Both Alya and Mr Coe are now recovering well from the operation and are expected to return to school after the Easter break. Mr Coe said: 'For her parents, it’s not words that can express their gratitude. For them, I have saved their daughter’s life.Success: Both Alya and Mr Coe are now recovering well from the operation and are expected to return to school after the Easter break'It’s like I am another family member now.'Alya’s father, Ahmed Ali, 47, has hailed Mr Coe a 'hero and a lifesaver'. He said: 'Ray has given Alya much more than just the gift of life. He’s an amazing man, we owe him so much.'School headteacher Wendy Bower said: 'Mr Coe has gone above and beyond the call of duty with this selfless and noble act.'He is a very humble and modest man. The whole staff are in admiration for his kindness. He has given a new life to Alya and her whole family.'

A sprawling luxury flat in the heart of London's Mayfair, 17 Grosvenor Square comes complete with a £5.5million price tag, stunning views across the historic square a short walk from Hyde Park.

But the second-floor apartment's unique selling point is the enormous ground-floor ballroom, measuring 55ft by 22ft with a 20ft-high ceiling.

It comes complete with a kitchenette and will enable the new owners to indulge 350 of their friends at an opulent cocktail party or treat 200 of their nearest and dearest to a more intimate dinner party.

The three-bedroom property also boasts two bathrooms, a grand reception room and a 24-hour porter service.

The property has gone on the market at £5.5million with a 43-year lease. There is the option to purchase the flat with an extended lease of 120 years, but that will set the new owner back an extra £1.3million

Despite the flat's stunning, spacious living area, its main selling point is the ground-floor ballroom, rebuilt when the block was constructed in 1958

Hiring a ballroom in Mayfair, would typically cost from £7,000 to £10,000 for a day or evening. But use of the ballroom at 17 Grosvenor Square is thrown in free of charge as part of the deal - potentially saving a socialite who loves entertaining the rich and famous thousands of pounds a year

17 Grosvenor Square dates back to the 17th century, but parts were rebuilt after it suffered damage when the area was bombed during the Second World War

The property, which boasts two luxury bathrooms, is valued at more than ten times the average London home and 30 times more than a typical home sold in England and Wales

Hill towns of Andalucia: for high art, go for vulture culture

As if the extraordinary setting of Ronda wasn't enough, Sankha Guha discovers great gazpacho, soaring birds and Moorish history on an Andalucian adventure

Down there on the coast in Marbella the idle rich are getting ready for another hard day of puttin' on the bling. The daily parade of Prada, Versace and Bulgari is gearing up. In Puerto Banus, the super yachts are being buffed, Ferraris are being revved and helicopters are being whirred.

Here though, in the Serranía de Ronda, less than 45 minutes up the road, the loudest thing is the breeze gently stroking the cypress trees. A giant vulture floats over the ridge, wide wings carved against the deep sky. I sip my morning coffee with toes dangling in the pool, absently gazing at the limestone ridges of the mountains across the valley. My mind is deliciously blank. There is more than one way to be idle.

Casa Carmen stands just off the road to Algeciras. The road itself has probably evolved from an ancient mountain track serving traders, smugglers and long-forgotten armies. The villa itself feels almost as well established – the earthen tiled roof, whitewashed exteriors, chunky antique wooden doors and gnarly old olive trees are all reassuringly traditional.

The glorious nine-metre pool is the only obvious nod to the site's present purpose as a rural retreat. But appearances can be deceptive. When I meet the owner, a surgeon at the local hospital, he says he built Casa Carmen just 15 years ago. Before that there was a pigsty. He's not being metaphorical – it was a farm shed. That shed has gone, but wandering between the numerous terraces of the property, luxuriating in panoramic views across the Serranía, I am as contented as a pig in its proverbial element.

Despite the villa's seeming isolation, Ronda itself is only a five-minute drive away. The celebrated town stands on top of a cliff – and if that isn't spectacle enough, the rock is bisected by a canyon, El Tajo, which separates the old Moorish city from the "new" town. The challenge thrown down by nature was met by 18th-century town planners. They looked into the 400ft abyss and, against all reason, saw a bridge.

Their first attempt ended in a heap of rubble at the bottom of the gorge, killing some 50 people. The second attempt took more than 40 years to complete and was engineered to last. The Puente Nuevo is an architectural feat as impressive as it is improbable. The supporting brick arches seem to grow organically from the flanks of the gorge and touch down on the banks of the Guadalevín River far below.

The vertiginous structure has generated its own mythology. One story – that the architect, José Martín de Aldehuela (who also designed the town's bullring) fell to his death from the bridge while trying to catch his hat when it was blown off his head – is easily dismissed. He died in 1802 in Malaga at the respectable age of 73.

Another story, altogether darker, concerns the more recent history of the Spanish Civil War when a mob of Republicans are alleged to have executed more than 500 prisoners by heaving them alive off the bridge. The unsparing account of a similar atrocity in Ernest Hemingway's For Whom The Bell Tolls is widely cited as being based on events in Ronda.

According to the historian Paul Preston, many evils were indeed perpetrated in Ronda but this particular horror was invented by one of Franco's generals. In his recent book The Spanish Holocaust, Preston insists "there is no substance to the claim … that large numbers of prisoners were killed by being thrown into the Tajo." It seems likely that the dramatic setting of the bridge has pushed imaginations to take a Gothic leap over the edge.

Although there are other bridges across the gorge lower down, and they are picturesque in their own way, they simply can't challenge the Puente Nuevo for grandeur. On my way down to the lower bridges on the east side of the Tajo I find the Casa del Rey Moro (House of the Moorish King). The name is misleading, because the Moorish kings had long passed when this palace was built in the 18th century. It is undoubtedly eye catching, partly for the wrong reasons.

Clearly designed to impress, the building occupies one of the most commanding locations overlooking the gorge. But unlike most of Ronda's well-maintained historical monuments, the  palace is in a tragic state. A German hotelier bought the ghost house three years ago but no meaningful restoration has begun and with each passing season the once proud casa looks ever closer to ending up as another heap of rubble in the Tajo.

The grounds however are open to visitors and include a formal "hanging" garden at the top of the cliff, as well as a bona fide relic of Ronda's Moorish history. A modest doorway from the garden leads to La Mina (the mine). The Moors were not digging for gold or gems, but something infinitely more precious – water. La Mina dates from the 14th century and was built to provide emergency access to the river in the event of a siege. The steep stairway is carved out of the bedrock and winds down through the cliff via various vaulted chambers and buttresses. I emerge blinking into the light at river level and find a little Eden. All is calm at the base of the gorge. Today, the Guadalevín is a flat mirror reflecting the mighty cliffs topped by the icing of white buildings.

Back on the west side of the Puente Nuevo, Plaza de España is Ground Zero for the coach party day-trippers. The parador is here, souvenir shops, and, inevitably, the McDonalds. Many are the tourist traps. I overhear one group planning their lunch strategy. They conclude they will find cheaper and better fare the further they venture from the busy plaza. They march off along Calle Nueva, their mission taking them past the recently opened La Fuente. They have missed a treat.

The café occupies such an obvious position on the main square that it seems almost lazy to stop here. The bright-eyed young owners are pumped up with enthusiasm for their new venture. Pablo Piek looks barely old enough to drive. He is, it turns out, 23 and has paid his dues working at another celebrated local café-restaurant (Tragatapas) under a disciple of the legendary Catalan chef Ferran Adrià. Pablo's take on Spanish flavours is accordingly bold. At lunch, the seared tuna tataki is a welcome change from the heavier staples of Andalucia, but it's the deep purple gazpacho de cerezas y queso de cabra – an ice-cold cherry soup with grated goat's cheese and powdered pistachio – that steals the show.

The area is famous for its pueblos blancos (white villages). I drive to one of the most popular, Grazalema. Its whiteness doesn't disappoint. (To be fair, though, there is another colour. Looking down on Grazalema from above, the village is a dazzling pattern of white lines broken up by stepped terracotta roofs.) Picasso could have daubed a photo-realistic rendition of the view and accidentally invented Cubism right here.

I bump into Clive Muir, who traded landscape gardening in the UK for a life of guiding in the mountains of Andalucia (wildsideholidays.com). He tells me Grazalema's lifeblood is tourism and its picture-perfect cuteness is no accident. "There are very strict planning controls," he says. "Walls are white, doors are brown, and all iron work black. A sign on, say, a bar or restaurant, has to be black with white lettering and can be no bigger than 60cm by 60 cm."

But sometimes the tourist experience of Grazalema is reassuringly disorganised. The village is well known for its wool-blanket industry, but my attempt to visit the associated museum is not inspiring. I find a blanket factory with an attached shop. When I inquire inside about the museum, a lady shoos me vaguely in the direction of a shed in the car park. There I amble between a few old wooden looms and some other rusting machines. There is no commentary or explanation of what they did, or how they worked. And that seems to be it. Nada más.

The Smithsonian it ain't.

Luckily, Clive has instructed me to take a hike. The "must do" walk, according to him, is around the 4,340ft summit of Coros, a mountain on the hairpin drive to Zahara, the next pretty white village. Soon I am in the domain of the Spanish fir – an ancient species that dates to the Tertiary period. Peeping through these slender elegant survivors from the age of the dinosaurs, I get tantalising glimpses of ever expanding views.

Close to the Puerto de las Palomas pass, the cliff face of Coros looms; I can hear the squabbling of a colony of griffon vultures which nests amid the crags. The walk starts from a car park at the top of the pass. The route loops around the summit and is not much more than a gentle stroll, but the colossal views reveal the curvature of the Earth and play to my vanity as a wannabe mountaineer. Looking down I can see the coiled mountain road descending to Zahara, next to it a long ragged lake draws a turquoise diagonal and beyond it the arid plains of Andalucia stretch out towards Seville.

Nearer to hand, the flora is equally spectacular: delicate thistles with golden crowns, red-stemmed succulents and wicked yellow thorned cacti. The most eye-catching, though, are pods that split to reveal a jewel case of fuchsia, red and blue-black beads – wild peony plants. More serious bird watchers than me would be able to identify the various darting blurs between the shrubs; wheatears, shrikes, choughs and warblers all inhabit the terrain.

There is however no mistaking the bird I come upon as I round the corner towards the steeper south-west side of the mountain. With their 9ft wingspan, there are few sights in Spain's wilderness as impressive as griffon vultures up close. With a few effortless flaps they slide off the cliff, gliding past at eye level in search of the thermals that will take them soaring high above the Serranía – oblivious to the vanities of mere earthbound beings.
