I’m a little late blogging about this, but it’s not too late to download the Autumn edition of the Lanzarote Guidebook.

The free PDF download is ideal for anyone planning a visit to the island, as it covers almost everything you could possible want to know about the resorts, places to visit, the beaches, the museums, and of course essential information such as telephone numbers, opening hours, etc.

It also makes for interesting reading, even if you can’t make it to Lanzarote this year.  In this case, you could enter the competition to win a weeks accommodation at Sands Beach.

But hurry!  The closing date for entries is Friday, 13th December, 2008 and you’ll need to download the PDF to find the link to take part.  That Friday the 13th will be lucky for someone!
