Villas Costa Blanca is the latest of our sub sites, and completes Spain for the time being. As other areas start to become better represented on our database, we'll add more Spanish locations.
Villas Costa Blanca has a large number of villas and other properties in almost 30 different regions.
Javea Villas are well represented on this site - currently there are around 20 properties there alone. There are also around 12 Benidorm Apartments and other properties. There are also over 30 villas and apartments in Altea.
Again, the Costa Blanca Travel Guides are in place, thanks to the hard work of the advertisers. One describes the Javea coastline as having 'scenic rocky coves, wonderful beaches and dramatic cliffs' and for the active types 'Nearly every kind of watersport is catered for in Javea, and for those who dont want to get their feet wet there is golf, bowls, tennis, cycling, horse riding and hiking to name but a few.'
Well worth taking a look if you are travelling to that region.

Costa Del Sol Apartments
It's been a few days since we completed the Canary Islands sub sites with Gran Canaria Villas, but the technical offices have undergone a total redecoration, so we lost a bit of time putting everything back in place. But now we're back on track with Costa Del Sol Apartments as we head towards completing the main areas of Spain.
Costa Del Sol Villas has a lot of properties in 16 different resorts (so far...). From Calahonda with a choice of 2 villas or 5 apartments, to Mijas with 4 apartments, 3 villas and 2 houses to Rivera Del Sol with 8 apartments and a villa.
There is, of course, the well supported Costa Del Sol travel guides, thanks to the efforts of our advertisers and even a few events on the same pages.

Villas Gran Canaria
The last of of Canarian villa sites is now available - Villas Gran Canaria.
One of our advertisers has summed up the contrasts nicely in their Maspalomas Travel Guide - "Maspalomas is a very popular holiday resort adjacent to the island's largest and most hectic package-tour resort, Playa del Ingles.".
The area of Gran Canaria with the most villas on our site is Puerto Rico, a popular resort built along both sides of a narrow shallow valley. Although I think it has probably expanded somewhat since I was last there - almost 11 years ago.
There's plenty to see and do in Gran Canaria, and any of the villas listed would be an excellent base to start your holiday, whether you are exploring the volcanic landscape or just relaxing in the sun.

Villas Fuerteventura
After a bit of a false start - because of my faulty spelling of Fuerteventura - Villas Fuerteventura is now ready.
Not a huge number of villas, but Fuerteventura is a growing location as far as ClickRentStay is concerned. We currently have 7 Caleta de Fuste villas and double that number of Corralejo Villas. There are also a couple of other villas in other Fuerteventura locations.
Both of the main locations are well represented in our Fuerteventura Travel Guides, with one owner saying "Corralejo has expanded dramatically over the last few years to become a large, bustling resort on the north of the island" and another "Caleta de Fuste is a lovely family resort. Very safe horseshoe shaped sandy beach".
Sounds well worth a visit!

Villas Lanzarote
The latest in our series of subsites, Villas Lanzarote, is now ready for visitors.
As usual, it's got a fantastic set of Lanzarote Travel Guides, covering Costa Teguise to the east of Arrecife Airport, Puerto Del Carmen, just to the west of the airport and Playa Blanca further along the coast.
We are currently displaying details for around 60 villas in Lazarote - quite a good choice - with the majoruty situated within Puerto Del Carmen.
If you are looking to book a villa, or even to advertise your own, then Villas Lanzarote is a good place to start.

Villas Tenerife
The latest in our suite of area specific sub sites is now ready for our public - Tenerife Villas. This brings the total of the mini sites to 5 and continuing to grow.
All of the popular areas in Tenerife are covered, Playa De Las Americas, Los Gigantes, Golf Del Sur, Costa Adeje and Santiago Del Tiede.
And, of course, there are plenty of Tenerife Travel Guides information on offer from our owners.

Larnaca Villas
Larnaca Villas became the latest addition to our list of sub sites yesterday.
Only 2 areas within Larnaca at the moment - Kalavasos Villas with 4 flats and a house, all from the same owner and Oroklini Villas a little busier, with 5 properties from what looks like 3 owners.
Both areas feature in the Larnaca Travel Guides and the Larnaca Events Guide, so the owners have been busy putting up plenty of information. Over time this area should grow nicely.

Paphos Villas
I'm pleased to announce that following the server change we now have Paphos Villas live and well, along with plenty of travel guides.
Polis is the most commented on town in Paphos. It is described as having "a sandy beach, banks, interesting shops, and excellent tavernas" and by another owner as "a relatively new tourist destination in Cyprus".
Another comments on the food: "Even simple food like stuffed tomatoes tastes wonderful due to home grown local produce being used." - sounds very tempting!

Server Change
I noticed that the new sub site, Algarve Villas, Corfu Villas and Crete Villas weren't as stable as I would have liked them to be.
When they were first published, these sites had been published to a Linux server, which is supposed to be more reliable and better for running PHP sites. But the rest of ClickRentStay is on Windows servers, so these three sites have now been moved to ASP enabled Windows servers. Hopefully the reliability problems I had experienced are now over.
The only problem with this is that the local travel guides were using the str_ireplace function, which is new to PHP 5. Unfortunately, it's only a verion 4 PHP on the windows servers, so they have been rewritten.

Travel And Events Guides
Along with our new sub sites, we realised this morning that we have a wealth of local information dotted around our database.
Each advertiser is asked to enter some details about the local area and events that might appeal to visitors, but this information is shown only when a potential customer views a property's details.
So to make this information more readily to hand, within the subsites we now have travel & event guide pages. Have a look at the Crete Travel Guide, Corfu Travel Guide and the Algarve Travel Guide.
The information is still grouped by town - it would be a massive & unreadable page to group it by region! And with every description we use, we are linking back to the owner's property that the description came from. As much as possible duplicate content is being removed, but that's not an easy task... But there are now even more benefits to our advertisers who give us plenty of details as their property listings are now linked to from even more place. This means more chances of customers finding their property and making a booking.

New Sub Site - Algarve.ClickRentStay.com
Here at ClickRentStay we're trying to make it easier for our users to find what they are looking for whilst giving our advertiser more, so we are starting the process of publishing micro sites for popular regions and we're starting off with ClickRentStay Algarve Villas.
Not only does this mean that there are less pages to drill down through to find the town you are looking for within the Algarve, but also it should mean that advertisers and search engines can find more easily all of the villas we have listed within each region.
Hopefully we're giving our site visitors more access to the database, which will ultimately help our advertisers by producing more bookings.
