Yes - this is great, just what I need, - how do I OK the question?

These figures are possibly even more significant if the number of UK
tourists who drive through France to get to Spain and then return home
through France are taken into acoun,t as This would appear as a visit,
or two, to France.

Yes a very popular place for UK visitors is Lanzarote and many are
using quality villas and apartments from http://www.lanzarote1.com and
other property management companies that give a good profesional
service.
