WORLDLY charms

FORGET TARIFA… male admirers are already reportedly flocking to Spanish travel agencies to book their 2010 summer beach holidays in La Linea – the glamorous gateway to Gibraltar.

Their motivation? To catch a glimpse of Kaiane Aldorino, who not only was named 2009 Miss World Beach Beauty in South Africa before Christmas, becoming the first Gibraltarian contestant to reach the semi-finals of the beauty pageant, but also went on to be crowned Miss World.

Born in Gibraltar on 8 July 1986, the amateur dancer had been working as a human resources clerk at St Bernard’s Hospital before her triumph, which was celebrated with a grand homecoming “fit for a queen”, in the words of Chief Minister Peter Caruana.
