Velez Malaga may not be a popular resort at the moment due to its off track location but it is actually only 5km away from Torre del Mar, if you are visiting the Costa del Sol region. It is a town worthy of a visit, even if as a day trip as it is barely a 5-minute drive on the coast.
Overview
Though it is not big, this town is pretty busy as the capital for the Axarquia region. It is commonly known as Velez Cheap Derek Fisher Jersey , sitting on the River Velez valley which is beautifully surrounded with sub tropical greens. Velez is prospering as a commercial agricultural producer of vines, olives, strawberries, veggies and sugar cane. It is here that one can find the sweet grapes that are famously used to produce the world?s renowned Malaga Wines.
History
Velez has a deep history that originates with the Phoenicians and moved on to the Carthaginians as reflected in the many remnants discovered here. It is supposed that the infamous Mainake, the magnificent Greek city Cheap Julius Randle Jersey , was to have been located here and flourished under Roman rule for commerce and trade, taking on the name Menoba. The Moors occupation of this region for over eight centuries made it most famous as a commercial centre that was strategically situated. It became known as Ballix-Malaca which means the Fortress of Malaga; it was full of culture and commerce.
Places of Attraction
Among the many churches found here, the most magnificent has to be the 15th century Santa María la Mayor. It boasts of a beautiful tower that holds architectural pieces like the minaret of a mosque, which stood in its place previously. When the Christian re-conquest took over this town, this church was built over the mosque as their sign of conquest over the Moors.
Besides that Cheap Brandon Ingram Jersey , there is the Fortaleza which is a 13th century Moorish castle standing on a hilltop at Arrabal de San Sebastián which is considered Velez?s oldest district.

Here in Velez, you will find the famous hospital called San Marcos Hospital that was established in 1487 by Catholic Monarchs. Convents and monasteries are abundant here and are worth a look for their artistic beauty. These include the lovely San Francisco, St. Jose, Santa Clara and Las Carmelitas convents. There is also a 16th century church, Santa Maria church Cheap Magic Johnson Jersey , built in Mudejar style that showcases a triple nave as well as an amazing ceiling. Besides that there is another 15th century Mudejar church, San Juan Bautista, that is worth seeing.

A long-established acronym, SMART, can help you create great goals. SMART stands for
Specific Measurable Action-Oriented RiskRealistic Timed
Here's how each of these words can help you succeed.
Specific:
When determining your goals, be precise. Instead of "I'll write more this year Cheap Brook Lopez Jersey ," consider "I'll complete a new chapter every two weeks."
Measurable:
For each goal you choose, make sure you can measure progress. For example, how will know you've completed it?
Action-oriented:
Choose goals you control so they're not at anyone else's mercy. Rather than "This year I'll get a book contract," set goals to complete and polish two novels or mail 30 queries to agents.
RiskRealistic:
It's always good to stretch yourself. However, if writing ten pages usually takes you several weeks Cheap Isaiah Thomas Jersey , don't count on writing six novels this year. Unrealistic expectations can get you so frustrated you'll lose momentum. Instead, create goals that motivate you without being burdens.
Timed:

See them, know them.
Writers, I hope this coming year brings everything you wish for. More importantly, I want you to *make your dreams come true*!
