Re: Quinta do Vesuvio in February 2024 - 6th Feb
I’m a fan of Charles’s approach (somewhat selfishly, because this approach ought to assist yours truly with the “sleep” part of the sleeper train to a greater extent than Alex’s! 
).

Re: A Visit to Quinta do Noval
Fantastic write up, Alex - thank you for sharing! The last time in was at Quinta do Noval was in 2019, and they had quite a few terraces to repair due to land slips (I hope they’ve managed to do so in the meantime). A very special place indeed!
