If you really feel you need to go elsewhere for more information on Luz or just feel you need a bit more, here are some other web sites I have found interesting reading and / or useful as a source of information. The contents will change from time to time as some sites expire or just 'disappear' and I always keep an eye out for new ones appearing.
Should you use any of the services listed here, please let them know where you got the information from, for no other reason than it encourages them to keep me up to date with changes in their details.
If you would like me to add your own FREE (relevant) link or want your existing one edited / removed please contact me.
