How Travel Guide Kit is made
We say where our facts come from
Temperature and rainfall come from AEMET in Spain and IPMA in Portugal, and each guide names the station and the reference period.
Every figure carries a date
Opening hours, fees and timetables are read from the operator’s own site and stamped with the month they were checked.
