Spain is one of the European countries that experience an influx of immigrants worldwide. In fact, it has the second highest immigration rate in 2004 and has forty five million foreign residents by 2007. These developments lead to the growth of the villa rental business in Spain. Usually, businessman, students, visitors and tourists prefer to rent villas to save on the budget. These people choose to rent a villa rather than stay in an apartment or a condo unit for the reason of private usage of the facilities. Yet, before deciding to rent villas there are things to consider in finding the best and suitable villas for you.
The number and kind of persons that would stay in a villa. This would narrow our search on what kind of villa we wanted. This would give us an idea on things such as: how many bedrooms we wanted; the size of each bedroom, kitchen, dining room, etc. And what amenities you still wanted.
Another thing to consider is the location of the villa. We have to know what province or city in Spain you will rent a villa. For each place had different characteristics in price. We have choices from villas that are near the coast or beaches (Costa del sol villas are the best for this location); in the city proper (Madrid and Barcelona villas are the best but in a high price bases); near an orange field or grape with a mountain view on the other side (Marbella’s villas are best for this kind of location).
The next thing to consider is the transportation and the communication ability of the town people. One of the most important factors to consider is the transportation. Is the place you have chosen or you are located has an adequate transportation that fits your lifestyle? Is the budget for transportation suits your pocket? How about the language in that place? Language is another important factor to consider. You couldn’t sign language your way through out your stay in that place. Like in Barcelona wherein the town people are very loyal to the Spanish and Catalan language. This would create a barrier in your daily activities if you don’t know the language. Unlike in Madrid where in the people connected to the tourist community knows the English language beside the Spanish language and their own dialect language.
Well, the last thing to consider in renting a place either in Spain and other countries is the climate and the temperature. The climate and the temperature in Spain is the least of our worry. Spain’s climate is definitely the weather to be envied with because of its great sun almost the year round.
In scouting for a place to rent and finding it doesn’t mean that it is suitable for us and the people around us. Sometimes the place we rented is far more expensive that we could afford or far too small for our daily activities. So, to get the best and suitable villas to rent
try to consider to get some suggestions.
I am actually a New Yorker with no Spanish blood whatsoever. Right now I’m on vacation here in Spain in the lovely island of Palma de Mallorca. Why do I love being here? It all began when I was here two years ago as an exchange student at the Universite de Paris. During that summer of our stay there, all of us foreign exchange students decided to troop to Palma de Mallorca because it has a great Mediterranean weather there. And the locals are lovely. That’s why I’m back vacationing here. Indeed, the Spanish are one such lovely people. I am a fan of Spanish stars and I would like to talk about two of them – Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.
According to my personal research, Penelope has long been an acclaimed actress here in Spain before moving on to the United States to take that American dream which she eventually realized. To acclimatize myself into Spanish culture, I rented all Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas movies two months back before coming here. And so I’m gonna tell you why I admire Penelope. Penelope’s first Hollywood break came when she was cast as a Brazilian woman who suffers from constant motion sickness and needs to be always on top during sex. Thus, the comedy Woman on Top was conceived exclusively for her. That may be a laughing matter but the revenues garnered from the film are not. In fact, it was the same movie that catapulted Penelope to fame and her constant movement in the movie made agents notice her and she was ultimately cast in several movies.
After Woman on Top, Penelope was cast in All the Pretty Horses. Here, Penelope is a horse whisperer and together with a boyfriend, they eloped from Mexico to the borders of the United States, bringing with them the beloved horses of their landlord. Penelope’s next movie after that is Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Here, Penelope plays a Greek woman smitten by an Italian military officer during their invasion of the country in World War II. In all these three movies alone, we already know that Penelope can play various nationalities. In Woman on Top, she’s a Brazilian; in All the Pretty Horses, she’s Mexican; and in Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, she’s Greek. It only shows that this lady is really flexible indeed.
After that, Penelope was cast opposite Tom Cruise’s love interest in Vanilla Sky. Ably directed by the great Cameron Crowe, Vanilla Sky discusses the subject of lucid dreaming. Here, Penelope plays an American. By 2005, she was famous enough to be cast in the film adaptation of Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt adventure Sahara opposite Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn. Here, Penelope plays a WHO expert on infectious diseases.
I need not talk about Antonio Banderas because he has been famous since the 1990s here in Spain and in the United States. But what most people don’t know and which I admire him for is that he was able to establish a chain of restaurants here in Spain as a result of his Hollywood income. That’s cool indeed!
