Questions about a route, a correction to a fare, a tip about a tasca we ought to know: all of it reaches two editors and a very small inbox.

Questions about a route, a correction to a fare, a tip about a tasca we ought to know: all of it reaches two editors and a very small inbox.
We are not a booking agency and we do not sell tours. What we can do is tell you whether five days is enough for Porto and the Douro, which beach suits a four-year-old in June, or where to eat within ten minutes of your hotel.
Our office is two floors above a hardware shop on one of the steepest streets in the city. There is no sign on the door and no reception, because there are only four of us and one of us is usually on a train somewhere near Régua.
Roughly half our inbox is one of these five questions.
Not in detail — we are a magazine, not an agency. But tell us your dates and interests and we will point you at the right itinerary and flag anything in it that will not suit you.
Five for Lisbon plus one region. Seven to ten to combine Porto, the Douro and Lisbon comfortably. Under four, stay in a single city.
We visit anonymously and pay our own bills, so we cannot accept invitations. You are welcome to tell us about a place; we will add it to the list for the next field trip.
Short quotations with a link are fine. Wholesale reproduction is not — see the Terms of Service.
Please tell us, with the date you paid it. Fare and ticket changes are the fastest-moving part of any guide and reader corrections are how we keep up.
