I think this will work too:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add( Calendar.DATE, 90 );
Date d = cal.getTime();
ahora = fechabase.format( d );

Makes me realise the value of operator overloading in C++ - it is so much
easier and intuitive for date calculations such as this....

Makes me appreciate the simplicity of OO languages like Smalltalk:

aDate addDays: 90.

No, that's more of an API problem. There could easily be a method
addDays(int num) which would be perfectly self-explanatory. On the
other hand, what would + mean? Add seconds, minutes, days, months?
