Mijas Villas - Self Catering
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 | Uncategorized | Comments Off
I never knew that there were so many excellent areas surrounding the Mijas holiday location ! I was looking online and came across a site listing all of these areas I could select from just in the Mijas area:
Mijas Pueblo; Mijas Costa; Mijas La Nueva; Calahonda; Mijas Outskirts; La Cala de Mijas; Riviera del Sol and; El Chaparral.
I’m spoilt for choice I think! and will have to go back to the area multiple times to sample the varied areas of Mijas.
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.
Of course, the area is excellent for Mijas Apartments of high quality with pools and sea views if a more compact holiday accommodation is what people look for. However, 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.
So You Want to Attend Fashion School…..
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 | Uncategorized | Comments Off
When considering a fashion school you need to do a significant amount of research to find the one that fits your needs. You should not necessarily trust one that claims to be the “best”. The word “best” is relative to your needs. The following standards may help you when doing your research.
1) Cost – the most expensive fashion schools are not always the best. High cost does not necessarily equal high quality. Like any higher education or training program, fashion school will not be cheap. However, remember that some schools want to appear to be better simply because the carry outrageous fees. Instructors – some of the most prestigious fashion schools hire famous personalities as instructors. This offers some schools a tremendous advantage when recruiting students. However, competition among the more famous personalities may create a distraction.
2) Location – a person studying fashion does not have to go to Europe but location should be considered. Fashion schools located in more progressive cities may be more up-to-date on the world of fashion. Of course, this may mean moving considerable distance from your hometown. The cost of living away from home should also be considered.
3) Prestige – magazines and television feature information on some of the more prestigious fashion schools. It may prove beneficial to research some of the lesser known fashion schools and find people who have attended them. Seeking testimonials from graduates of these schools would be an excellent way to find more information on a particular school.
4) Instructors – some of the most prestigious fashion schools hire famous personalities as instructors. This offers some schools a tremendous advantage when recruiting students. However, competition among the more famous personalities may create a distraction.
5) Alumni – as mentioned earlier, research people who have attended the fashion school you are interested in attending. Seek information on how many graduates of the school have actually found work in the fashion industry.
Utilizing these standards may help you narrow your search for the fashion school that is going to train and inspire you to reach your full potential. Sacrifices will have to be made along the way, but hard work and dedication will help you achieve your goal.
