My beef was that a location which had several possibilities only had one mentioned, like they couldn't be bothered to add more than one activity and link per location. You should pitch ideas to them though, @Andy, I think that the Europe a la Carte blogging team should have European travel section in the online Guardian. @Anna, that’s interesting that you’ve noticed numerous errors in Guardian travel articles.

@Andy, I think that the Europe a la Carte blogging team should have European travel section in the online Guardian.

I used to email the travel editor over there and point it out, but now I just don't bother. He did invite me to start pitching ideas though! LOL! ;) Actually, whenever I came across pieces in The Guardian about destinations that I know, they’re normally poorly researched, full of factual mistakes and sometimes just wrong, wrong, wrong.

I just think that travellers looking for tips. ideas and inspiration should look beyond the well known sources such as Guardian travel.
