Marbella Apartments attracts in excess of 100 new clients
March 1, 2010 by John38 · 4 Comments
Apartments for rent in Marbella have reached an all time high and is becoming a serious contender for the top spot over the next 10 years as the holiday accommodation of choice over staying in a hotel. The move from organised hotel hollidays to serviced private apartments and villas in Marbella allows more freedom and space comparable euro for euro to the space and accommodation facilities of a hotel.
Some hotel chains will always do well, the likes of Marriott in Marbella are of a consistent hight quality and reputation that whatever happens in the Marbella holiday accommodation arena, such chains will continue to attract clientelle. Yet Marbella as a tourist destination is attracting large numbers of Europeans and British that are looking for value holidays that come with a high level of comfort and facilities and this is where the chains are finding it more difficult to compete.
I looked at over thirty different Marbella apartment booking agencies and in excess of 100 apartment and villa properties scattered around Marbella during the 2008 season and for a “home from home” experience – the answer is clearly private Marbella Apartments and Marbella Villas booked through reputable agencies such as Rentin-Marbella or letsrent Marbella are an exceptional way of enjoying a quality holiday in your very own apartment or villa in one of the most sought after areas of the Costa Del Sol, Spain.
The grey flight of the third age of semi retirees and retirement types have been flocking to Marbella for winter breaks for quite a few years now, but the mainstream are now realising what a great adventure and unique way of holidaying – having your private holiday apartment or villa can be. Many villas have their own pools, and apartments generally have a shared pool – some even heated during the winter months. An apartment advertised by Rentin specifically promoted the onsite feature of a childs park and splash slides, so the third age clearly are not having it all their own way now! A presentative of Rentin-Marbella pointed to their continued expansion of private property owners wishing to place properties with them was maybe due to their sites modern appeal to mainstream holiday makers and the increase in people seeking holiday opportunities on the Internet instead of just relying on the high street agents.
Long Term Lets in Javea Spain
February 27, 2010 by John38 · 8 Comments
Long term lets in Javea are a valuabe and rare commodity at the moment. Just about any decent Villa for rent in javea seems to be only for Holiday lets in javea and not for long term rentals in javea.
Some companies in javea specialise in long lets in javea, but most concentrate on the lucrative holiday rental market.
Holiday rentals have some pluses over and above long term rentals in that before and after the main holiday season, the villa is available for use by the owner and his or her friends and family.
The downside to holiday lettings is the management and logistics involved in getting the villas cleaned in between weekly rentals.
The yearly income from both long term rentals and holiday letting is about the same, so it depends whether the extra management hssles and costs are worth having the villa available for the owners own use.
Another advantage of holiday letting is that you can offer the house for sale all year round, whilst long term tenants would most probably object to their home being on the market and having agents wander round with prospective buyers in tow.
However you decide to rent out your villa in Javea, the income is almost guarenteed due to the demand for rental properties at the moment.
While demand for sales properties has declined in recent years in Spain, there soes seem to be an upturn in interest so far this year, with many agents reporting better 2009′s than 2008.
With that in mind, now may be the right time to bag a bargain and then rent it out!

Are Solar Panels Effective?
October 1, 2009 by John38 · 7 Comments
Introduction
There may be some confusion about the term Solar Power because there are a number of systems that have been established for many years using the sun to heat water, heat ovens to cook food or heat your home either directly or indirectly. But what we are really interested in is the idea of producing electricity from the sun. That electricity can then be used for different purposes not just for heating water or rooms. Technically Solar Power is any system which is powered by the sun to produce useable energy.
Making electricity really isn’t that hard so I am told. The technology is now available to convert the sun’s light into electricity using Photovoltaic cells. One company I know has developed large scale photovoltaic plants in Southern Spain, where of course there is plenty of sunshine. Panels made up of photovoltaic cells can be fixed on the roof or placed anywhere they will capture the sun. They are then connected to the electrical supply in the home and used to run the everyday appliances we depend on.
What Does Photovoltaic Mean?
Photovoltaic literally means light and electricity and the technology has been developed to convert solar energy into usable power. Basically the sun produces white light, which is just a different kind of energy; as I understand it, photovoltaic cells trap this light and turn the wavelengths into electricity. They do not need bright sunlight to operate so even on cloudy days electricity can be generated due to the reflection of sunlight, and on days of light cloud energy yields are higher than in bright sunshine.
How Photovoltaic Cells Work
To make these cells produce energy you need two layers of semi-conductor material which has been adapted, so that one is positively charged and the other negatively charged. When light shines on the semi-conductor, electrons are released to produce electricity. The greater the power of light the more electricity is produced. The electrical field across the junctions between the layers causes electricity to flow as (DC) Direct Current. Photovoltaic cells are then joined together to make panels which are positioned strategically to capture as much sunlight as possible on or around the designated building. Once the photovoltaic cells are joined together they officially become Solar Panels.
Where to Install the Solar Panels
Once you decide to have solar panels then positioning them for optimum light and sunlight is a crucial consideration. If you have a good roof space high enough and not shaded by trees, preferably facing south or south west, then you will probably have the ideal location. Because we live a bungalow there is a huge roof facing south on one side. Looking at the design of the roof we concluded we could have several panels facing South East, South and South West thereby capturing sunlight throughout the whole day.
Solar panels can be mounted on frames on a flat roof or the ground or even on the side of buildings. I would think the main criteria are that they are safe and stable so they won’t fall over or blow away in high winds. The solar panel we have fitted for hot water is securely mounted on our roof with strong metal fixings.
Solar panels are produced in many shapes and sizes, some are even made as roof tiles, and there is some new technology on the horizon enabling solar panels to be incorporated into actual windows. Smaller portable solar panels can be taken on holiday when you go camping or caravanning.
Why Would You Want to Install Your Own Solar Power System?
Green Energy – Well firstly there is the issue of ‘going green’ and avoiding using carbon producing energy. There has never been a better time to do your bit to save the planet. Carbon emissions are contributing to the erosion of the glaciers which provide much of the world with drinking water. Global warming is a huge concern and if a large number of the world population reduce their carbon footprint then the hope is that global warming will slow to its natural cycle in the evolution of the earth.
Cost – Then there is the cost of electricity today. Utility companies are charging far too much for energy and today I read in the paper that one company is not going to reduce the bills now that the price or raw materials has gone down. They plan to use the profits for re-investment! So in fact we are paying twice for the cost of re-investment.
Prices in the UK have trebled in the last year and even with less sunlight in the UK than many other countries solar power is still worthwhile to reduce the bills. During this financial crisis anything that can be done to minimise costs is of benefit. Once your solar system is up and running any excess electricity you produce can be sold back to the national grid. So instead of bills you get paid by the electrical companies for producing more than you can use.
Freedom – When I am showering using the water from my solar heating system, I have this wonderful sense of it being free hot water. I know it is not really free because we have already paid for its installation. But now it is done, it looks after itself and on sunny days there is plenty of hot water. It does not need electricity to make the water flow through the pipes so if there is a power cut we can still get hot water.
My approach over the last few years has been to put in systems that free us from the tyranny of the electricity companies and the oil barons. Without independent systems we have no choices if the powerful companies decide to put up prices or cut us off.
The most persuasive argument for me was when Russia decided to cut off gas supplies to the customers when they had a agreement in place so that the people of those countries had no fuel to keep them warm during the coldest winter months. From my perspective is seemed it was all because ‘the powers that be’ wanted to flex their power muscles and increase prices to line their own pockets. None of us want to be in that position.
DIY Solar Panels and Installation
Now that we have a solar hot water heating system installed we are keen to get started on producing our own electricity. We use a great deal of electricity running 5 computers for our home based business and expenses have gone through the roof this year.
A solar panel kit is the easiest way to build your own solar power unit and there are number of e-books on the market on how to do this.
The marketing material on each website is persuasive and they claim that you can make these solar panels for $200 or £150 which is a great deal cheaper than they can be bought readymade. The books provide an easy step by step guide written in clear straightforward language with the complete novice in mind. People claim they are making these panels over a weekend and are overjoyed with the results.
So why would you want to make your own solar panels and then install them yourself? Wind and Solar power systems have been on the market for years but the costs are virtually prohibitive. The cost of commercial panels makes nonsense out of the whole idea of recovering the outlay within a few years. Then there is the satisfaction of producing something necessary to maintain our way of life with your own hands.(Rather like growing your own vegetables)
As well as making these panels for yourself and when you have become more adept at making them, there is the possibility of a lucrative business producing and installing solar systems starting with your friends and neighbours. Once they start telling their friends about the savings they are making you will find you have more orders than you can handle.
Future for our Children and Grandchildren
The ways we have used and misused our natural resources are creating a legacy for our children and grandchildren which will be, to say the least, challenging. The fossil fuels will run out in the next century and as resources become scarce and population increases there will be competition for what is left. I don’t think the world is going to be an easy place to live in and our descendents will have to adapt to a life that could in many ways, be similar to the Middle Ages in Britain or the early settler days in the US.
I won’t dwell on the possibilities of what could be, but I do think anything we can do to help establish a system using renewable energy will be the best legacy we can bestow on future generations.
A wonderful example of natural resources running out is on Easter Island. From study and research of this uninhabited island it would seem there was once an abundance of trees. In fact it was completely covered in forest. The inhabitants cut down these trees as a source of fuel but also for carving images which you can still see on the island. However when the trees became scarce, instead of planting and nurturing their valuable resource, they continued to cut down the trees until there were none left. Because there was no more wood they had used up their means of survival so they all died out or possibly left. To this day it is an uninhabited island with no trees. (In New Zealand there is an oral history of the Maori people canoeing from the pacific islands to find their new land of the long white cloud. They could well have been the ones from Easter Island)
Storing Electricity or Selling Back to the Grid.
Just having solar panels is not sufficient to provide you with electricity for your requirements. Once electricity is produced there has to be a system to convey the correct power to the appliances. For the most basic system after the solar panel, you will need a charge controller which regulates the flow of electricity to the battery. A battery is an essential item to maintain the supply when it is dark and an inverter which is essential to convert the direct current (DC) generated by the solar panel to alternating current (AC) for use with all appliances. However by DIY the system could pay for itself within a couple of months.
Once your solar power system is up and running you could opt to just provide electricity for your own use and store any excess in deep cycle batteries. You may however prefer to sell the excess back to the national grid to offset any usage you might need over and above the production of the solar panels installed.
To provide a renewable energy system there are solar power kits readily available on the market.
Apparently there are ways of getting deep storage batteries for free in which to store electricity that you have produced, over and above your current consumption. A charge controller is advisable to monitor and control the charging of the battery and prevent it being overcharged. Careful use of the battery will extend its life and save having to swap it so often.
Selling electricity back to the national grid will require installation of several more items than the basic system uses and is a little more complicated to install. But if it offsets the cost of the electricity you do need, it might be a better system eventually.
Will it work in the UK?
Although sunlight hours are fewer in the UK than in other more sunny climates photovoltaic cells work with light, and as mentioned earlier, they work particularly well on partially cloudy days of which there are many. We already have several solar units in the garden and I have never known them to not have enough light to work, even in winter.
Will we run out of Raw Materials?
The semi-conductor material used in the construction of the solar cells is mostly silicon. Silicon is basically derived from sand and sand is the second most copious material in the Earth’s mass. So I think it is unlikely we shall run out of raw materials.
Conclusion
Hot water powered by the sun has been in use for many years in countries where there is a plentiful supply of sun and is known as passive energy. However the development of new technology whereby light can be converted to electricity is a important step in the evolution of civilisation.
What I don’t understand is why Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain don’t make more use of this technology as it is sunny there most of the time and the land is mainly sand. Now that oil supplies are dwindling maybe they will turn their attention to other forms of electricity production and use their vast wealth to invest further in the solar and wind technology. They could even be the ones who ultimately end up dominating the industry. I did read that there are plans to turn parts of the Sahara into solar power farms, and that the plan is to export a fair amount of the power produced, into Europe. This could be an excellent export opportunity for Africa.
To be completely free of electricity from the grid would be a huge bonus for me and there seems to be a small revolution going on with a ground swell of public opinion demanding the use of renewable sources to produce energy. People are getting fed up with being hostage to energy companies and are looking for ways to change the system.
It is a fact that solar power is one of the safest, easiest and cheapest ways to produce electricity for our homes. In an ever increasingly energy hungry planet, currently only 0.2% of energy comes from renewable sources and 93% comes from sources that will eventually run out. So now is the time to look for an alternative in the form of wind and solar energy to provide a very moral and ethical gift for the generations after us.

Steps to Learning Another Language
September 16, 2009 by John38 · 9 Comments
Whatever method is used to learn a new language it’s crucial to study at your own pace. It’s essential to make the learning process as fun and enjoyable as possible. So don’t overload yourself all at once. Putting aside a set amount of time on a daily basis is much more beneficial than to study for hours on end once a week. And it’s going to be that much easier to recall words and sentences when their being repeated each day.
There are a multitude of tuition methods for learning another language. Textbooks and audio programs are the most common. A personal tutor is great for one-on-one help, but can be expensive and might not offer a flexible approach for that busy someone. And than there’s the online or multi-media software tools that is becoming increasing popular of late. These software packages come loaded with a choice of resources to learn, such audio lessons, quizzes and tests, written guides, and a selection of games to stop the learning from becoming dull or boring.
There are a vast amount of languages to be learnt. It’s essential to look at the benefits to learning a particular language as well as the difficulty factor. Languages such as Hungarian, Russian, and Japanese often fall into the difficult to learn category. While still possible to learn with the right tools to hand, it just takes more practice and determination.
Popular language choices include – Spanish is a widely spoken language in many regions and different countries, such as the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, and of course Spain. So, it’s going to be advantageous for some to learn how to speak Spanish if living in or close to a Spanish speaking community. Or it might be more beneficial to learn to speak Italian if planning a visit to Italy on either a vacation or for a work related reason.
If you wish learn and have fun with a newly learnt language it’s just a matter of finding the most suitable tuition method and to get started straight away.
Villas Mijas In Color
September 4, 2009 by John38 · 5 Comments
Mijas Pueblo is for me, the prettiest village in all of the Costa Del Sol, and is a total contrast to the busy beachfront side of Mijas Costa. Together, they make up the resort of Mijas – a lovely area of the coast not far from Malaga and an ideal location for a family holiday.
With whitewashed buildings dotted over the landscape and hills Mijas is the typical postcard of Southern Spain. With bright blue Mediterranean against a backdrop of green mountains of Andalucia – I was keen to explore what self catering Villas Mijas has to offer for the seasoned tourist. Mijas has an excellent mix of accommodation, with traditionally styled townhouses for rent, a variety of standards of self catering apartments complexes with pools and a range of Villas for rent with views that make you wish you could retire to this beautiful spot in Spain.
After some serious research amongst the many excellent websites as well as local rental property agents, we settled for a niche provider who’s rapidly becoming a major player in quality villa rentals in Mijas – rentin-mijas.com Their professional approach, coupled with indepth local knowledge and personal touch was just what we were looking for.
We opted for an opulent villa in Mijas Costa, a grand 5 bedroom villa known as Olebe which impressed us on all levels. Spacious, superbly decorated to a high standard full of equipment and fine furniture. A nice sized private pool outside and even our very own sauna inside…. what a holiday !!
Like many holiday makers to Spain, golf was on the agenda seeing as the Mijas Golf Resort is pratically on Villa Mijas Olebe’s doorstep! Truly stunning, take a look for yourself at Rentin-Mijas’s web site, the specific Villas Mijas Olebe property link is here for those of you with a large group looking for somewhere very special in Mijas at a per person rate really hard to beat for such standards of quality.
Jacqueline Gold’s Marbella Costa
August 17, 2009 by John38 · 6 Comments
I’ve been recently reading the autobiography by Jacqueline Gold, the CEO of Ann Summers stores who has had a roller coaster of a personal life and specifically can relate to various aspects of her life’s struggle as well as constant enthusiasm for living and never giving up.
I specifically recall from within the autobiography Jacqueline’s attachment to marbella costa del sol as she writes many times about how her friends and Jacqueline make an annual pilgrimage to marbella costa del sol for her girlie week in the sun. They book into a good hotel as a gang of them and do all the girlie stuff for a week and let their hair down, clearly also shopping is part of the trip too.
She mentions about a couple of times where when she’s down, Marbella is a good place to get away to and recover your energy and zest for life. Getting away to a different location always enables a fresh view of things to form as well as give new focus to emerse yourself in. Of course – for sun worshippers the thrill of chilling and tanning is always a pick me up.
This is where the story of Jacqueline particularly seem’s apt for me at the moment as I am looking for new adventures in life, to immerse oneself in solving worldly issuses or participate in a good cause where it puts our own life in perspective and how we can get the most out of our precious time on earh.
Anyhow, I digress…. here I am thinking about Jacqueline Gold and how she faces tragedy or setbacks in life and always has Marbella !! and I’m thinking Marbella’s ok, I’ve enjoyed myself their a few times already and I’m also part of an expanding holiday business who handles a lot of reservations for Marbella holidays, but its not what is going to cheer me up at this point,,… where else is there within easy travelling of the UK and somewhere I can be fully involved in something useful and possibly even environmental? I glimpsed at Mijas along Costa Del Sol – but lets look away from Spain… How about the Canaries ? Nope – a little further I think, Marakesh…. no, …
Then it hit me, Cape Verde! I’ve been looking to possibly invest in somewhere upcoming like Cape Verde – and then, like a higher power was controlling my mouse – I clicked on a link in Google for “Boa Vista Experience” and then into their forum to read what the English folk were talking about and their was an announcement that The Turtle Foundation were looking for Volunteers to help protect female Loggerhead turtles who were being slaughtered by poachers as they were coming ashore to lay their eggs for future turtles to grace our oceans !!! Eurika ! that was the moment I knew that I’d found what I needed to gain a clear perspective and rejuvenate my enthusiasm
Thankfully, my application as a volunteer to help The Turtle Foundation on Boavista was accepted, and I’m due to fly out for a whole new adventure and life experience for 7 weeks in Cape Verde on the 3rd August as the Turtle laying season just heats up and there’s reports coming in of masacred Turtles on some of Boavistas paradise beaches.. Check out my facebook updates in TURTLE FOUNDATION – Cabo Verde group page on Facebook and I’ll also be covering it in my main blog.

SEO And Hosting Provider Web-Asylum.com Behind New Holiday Franchise
June 17, 2009 by John38 · 10 Comments
The highly successful Search Engine Optimisation and web hosting provider Web-Asylum is helping the owners of the RentInNerja.com to become a leading online supplier of holiday apartment/villa rentals and achieve their goal at rivalling web sites like Holiday Lettings for product awareness and market share within the next three years.
The owner of the RentIn Group, who initially purchased his first holiday property in Spain with a view to renting it out when he wasn’t using it himself, states that after looking at many rental service providers locally in Spain as well as web site service providers he was left a little frustrated that none of them seemed to be really customer focused and the online services all seemed difficult to navigate or lacking important features.
That’s when he decided to pay for a website to be created with the features he felt he needed as a property owner to enable him to manage the promotion and bookings efficiently for his and also collegues apartments and villas around the area of Nerja, Spain.
The initial developers of the site were not Search Engine Optimisers, and although they managed to build the site to the requirements of RentIn – they could only manage to get the site RentIn-Nerja.com to the top of Google for search terms specifically related to Rent Nerja !!
Relying on Adwords alone for wider search phrases used by the public was an expensive way to go, and although the business was growing… it was obvious that the cost per sale needed to be lowered for the RentIn group to grow healthily.
At this point the owner of RentIn was introduced to Martin Sansone and the services of Web-Asylum.com who provide valuable SEO services and hosting for many businesses in different sectors with an array of technology services and 20+ years of creative marketing experience.
After careful research of the apartment rental market by Web-Asylum, Martin saw the potential growth available to RentIn and recommended significant changes in the approach of the original RentInNerja.com site and quickly pushed the web site up onto page one of Google’s results page for in excess of 20 search terms. Rentin experienced a leap in their business and bottom line.
As a result agreements have been put in place to have Web-Asylum.com work closely with RentIn to ensure the continual development of the brand and mass role out of their business model initially across Spain as profitable franchises with a focus on ensuring each franchisee can enjoy a very comfortable lifestyle and income.
With the testing and completion of totally new systems for the RentIn-Marbella.com site. Web-Asylum have also taken over the hosting needs of the original Nerja site and have already got orders to promote the next two totally new areas for apartment rentals in Javea as well as a Mijas apartments site both in the Costa Del Sol region of Spain. Easily reached by holiday makers from the Andalucian Malaga Airport.
