Lanzarote Relocation

Archive for the ‘General Lanzarote Information’ Category

Last week I received a telephone call from a lovely lady called Patsy. She was over in Playa Blanca on her holidays and needed some help. She and her family had ventured out one evening and had spotted a very distraught kitten on a nearby building site as they were leaving. Of course they realised that the mother may not be far away – so they left cute kitty where he was. Read the rest of this entry »

I stopped home last night and watched the footie there… whilst preparing a Spanish feast for Alan and his pal. They headed out to watch the game at La Bocaina. Spirits were very high – and grown men were hugging and dancing with asbolute glee!

On their way back home… Alan recorded a couple of short videos on his phone so I could see how excited everyone was in town.

Apologies for the poor quality – but we hope it gives you an idea of how pleased everyone was with the result.

Hello everyone.

This morning we received emails and phone calls from a number of concerned and confused people when they received emails titled “Lanzarote Relocation February 2010″. These emails did not originate from this website, they came from Mike and Julie Cliffe-Jones, the authors of www.lanzaroteinformation.com who are also the owners of the Lanzarote Estate Agent, Estupendo.

A number of you were concerned because you thought we had gone into business with Estupendo, which goes against what our blog says on its home page – “We receive NO financial payments from Estate Agents, or other companies on this island for mentioning them or their services, for any articles supplied, or for any introductions made.” Some of the articles donated are from our clients from our other businesses… and some are not. No money exchanges hands in order to appear within this site.

“Lanzarote Information” is a general interest Lanzarote website of a commercial nature, and not the more niche “Lanzarote Relocation” information blog website that you are reading now.

The following is an excerpt from our own newsletter that went out at lunchtime today, which oddly enough was before we started receiving concerned messages from our readers.

Remember that Lanzarote Relocation continues to be free to use, and free of advertisers… ensuring that the information is unbiased and given only in good faith. We do not run the site as a business (it is, and always has been, a hobby for us)… and it is funded merely by a sprinkling of affiliate advertiser banners that you can see in the side bars on the website. We’re not trying to sell you anything… no holidays… no property… no timeshare… no wills… no tax shelters – we are who we are. Despite other companies claiming connection on their sites, in their newsletters, and even at sales meetings (yes, we were appalled too) – Lanzarote Relocation is Elle & Alan – nobody else. If you are unsure in any way about any claims you may be reading elsewhere – then do not hesitate to contact us, so that we can reassure you.

We would like to reassure all of our readers that our website ethos has not changed – and that all areas and content of this website will continue to be provided free of charge to all users, and without financial backing from businesses on the Island. We are also sure that Mike and Julie would not have intended to have been quite so misleading in their choice of newsletter title.

Elle xx

We would like to wish all of our loyal readers a very happy new year.

We hope that 2010 brings you everything you wish for and more.

Elle & Alan xx

We would like to wish all of our loyal readers a very Merry Christmas!

Feliz Navidad

Elle & Alan xx
