Llegada a Lugo - Coffee Break Spanish Travel Diaries Episode 9

Llegada a Lugo - Coffee Break Spanish Travel Diaries Episode 9

Author: Coffee Break Languages October 22, 2020 Duration: 20:42

After their car troubles, Victoria and Abel have to make the decision to spend more time in Lugo than planned, seeing symbolic sites, like the Muralla Romana and La Cárcel Antigua - an ancient prison. They round off their visit by enjoying some pulpo a la gallega (Galician octopus). As Mark and Anabel discuss the language used in this week's diary entry, listen out for the versatile verb quedar, and an explanation about using irse or ir de tapeo.
