( Close )About Luz-info.com
Luz-Info.com - Is my newly designed website which is the product of combining the information pages attached to a couple of my existing sites which advertise accommodation for rent in the wonderful town of Praia da Luz. The information contained within their resource pages has grown to such an extent, and spread slightly further afield, that I think they now warrant their own site. Hopefully, this site will be more accessible and easier to put your finger on the information you want quickly whilst presented in a more usable and friendly layout. The site is not a commercial site and does not generate any income for me ( unless you count the Google ads which have yet to generate anything, which is possibly a good thing as it means you are staying here. ). This allows me to express my own 'unbiased' views on the places I have visited and an opportunity to share my findings with you.
So please let me know how I'm doing and feel free to contribute your own experiences and observations. Thanks and hopefully enjoy your visit.
