THANK YOU FOR FEEDBACK, QUESTIONS, AND CORRECTIONS.
This project was created to answer recurring questions in one central place. Then, new questions kept coming, and so the app continues to grow. We don’t know everything either, so we do our research. Thanks for help.
Our family has a wide range of interests and skills. We have restaurateurs and historians, engineers and tourism experts, designers and logisticians, and so on. When we have barbecues, it’s usually fun and often controversial. The goal is to cover as broad a spectrum of interests as possible with competence. This is subjective, as everyone has to form their own opinion.
What we find really important: our area, and especially Lisbon, is overwhelmed with so-called experts who keep repeating the same stuff. We feel almost compelled to broaden the picture a bit. From our perspective, the best holidays are those where you experience things that are not standard. Or as the noteworthy author João Tordo says: it is time to stop reducing Portugal to the cliché of custard tarts. Our app invites you to change, expand, and ideally rethink expectations. It sounds important, but it's really just about a broader radius and places that aren’t on any lists.
Of course, we also mention topics that appear elsewhere. What we find really annoying, however, is that historical information in most travel guides is often incorrect or at least incomplete. We try to change that in our contributions. And to expand classic guides with a few topics, we don’t need to repeat the same things. If we say something incorrect, please help us with the correction. Thank you and have even more fun!
