Mix of stuff from newspaper appearing in Portuguese resort (7)
I believe the answer is:
farrago
'mix of stuff' is the definition.
(a farrago is a confused mixture)
'newspaper appearing in portuguese resort' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a newspaper).
'appearing in' indicates putting letters inside.
'portuguese resort' becomes 'faro' (popular tourist destination).
'rag' inserted inside 'faro' is 'FARRAGO'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for farrago that I've seen before include "Hash" , "Mix" , "Motley assortment - Afro rag (anag)" , "A motley hotchpotch of things" , "A hotchpotch, perhaps of nonsense" .)
