Owners of holiday homes on the Costa del Sol will need to be aware of new laws being introduced to owners of furnished holiday homes which may affect their ability to take advantage of the financial benefits of owning a holiday home. The change will mean that in order to take advantage of these benefits such as offsetting excess property expenses their rental home must be rented out for a minimum of 105 days per year, compared to 70 under current legislation.

As a result of this change being introduced it’s important for holiday home owners to ensure their property is rented out for as many rental days as possible. When it comes to advertising a holiday home online it’s important to find the channels that offer the best return at the lowest cost. That’s why we’ve made our advertising packages on Costadelvillas such great value with annual advertising costs for new advertisers just £49.99 per year and any additional homes can be advertised for just £39.99.

I just read this article on the Mirror website. It seems like a fairly harsh assessment of some of the players that were put out to face Brazil at the weekend. I didn’t see much of the game so I can’t comment on that particular performance but I’m sure the likes of Jermaine Jenas, Joleon Lescott and Darren Bent will be contenders for a place in the World Cup squad.

The Costa del Sol has recently been nicknamed by many as the California of Europe and that’s not because of it’s year round sunshine and endless stretches of beaches with golden sand but because it’s becoming an increasingly popular place to shoot movies. The beautiful bright sunshine and clear Mediterranean Sea make the Costa an ideal location for filming. The south of Spain has been on the movie-makers map for many years, but in recent times the area has become increasingly popular thanks to investment in new studios and increased exposure of new filming locations such as Marbella.
