We've arrived to the stunning mountain range known as Montserrat, and I'm already impressed. The rock formations here are strikingly jagged, as if they were massive spears racing to the sky. And the air here is clean and refreshing. I'm very happy to be here. Maria, how do you seetis? How do you see? You're feeling?

You're going to be here, well, we're going to pass a good day here, a day special. Anyway, I've looked on Google, and apparently, the most rewarding hike is the trail of San Gironi, San Gironi or San Gerooni.

This hike will take us to the summit of Montserrat where we will not only see the entire Montserrat mountain range, but also most of Catalonia. That's a region of Spain spanning over 32,000 kilometers squared. I mean, epic. Bueno, Maria, this sendero is very difficult.

Isst disposed to do the sendero more difficult? Estes dispuesta to make the sendero

more difficult are you willing to do the most difficult trail dispuesta means willing it corresponds of the English word disposed which also refers to if someone

is inclined or willing to do something disposed The first half of these two words are even spelled the same so they're easy to associate Now hypothetically if Maria was a man then instead of asking her if she Shee

Eja estada di Spuesta we would ask him if he, he, El ista dispuesto We simply swap the last letter of the word from an A to an O This is very common in Spanish Well, Maria, then You're just disposed to

comeiner with me? All day? All day? All the day? You're completely secure? Yes? Ah, Maria,

you're a very good person. Well, Maria is disposed. Hmm. I'm, I also am disposed. Maria and I are we are very well prepared.

I'm very organized. Before we came, we packed all the provisions we need. One bottle of water, fruit secos, and what more? Ah, si. An encender. A lighter.

A lighter. A encendidor. Hmm. Protector solar. Protector Solar. What more? Algo more? Yes.

I have the vendages. Bandages. So, Maria, we're list to start? I asked Maria, are we ready to start?

Then Maria, we're listos? Yes? Vamos! Google tells me the trail takes us to the very peak of the mountain at over 1,200 meters above sea level.

So, I guess we walk in this direction, towards the peak. Let's. What hermoso. Me encanta the beauty of this place. It's very special here. And then, Maria, Quintamme more to you. Tell me.

Mas. More. More. Of you. Maria, Here are some questions you can ask in Spanish to learn more about someone's future plans, aspirations and goals. A what do you dedicate yourself to? Or what is your profession?

I love this phrase. Instead of asking what you do, like in English, they ask you what you dedicate yourself to. I just think it's less intimidating than asking. asking somebody what they do for a living. So let's say it one more time. To what do you dedicate yourself? Te Kieres Kiddar in Spain? Do you want to stay in Spain?

Te Kieres Kedar in Spain. Te Kieres Kedar in Spain? Do you want to be a Would you like to travel? T'

Um, Maria, where are we, where are we going? I mean, we're going uphill, but we're not even on the trail anymore. Ah, si, that is one a very good idea. Let's consult Google Maps. Oh no, no, no. I haven't got any signal here. Here no Tengu signal. Do you?

Tampocco? Oh, oh. Oh, no. Well, no te preoccupies. Don't worry. No, te preoccupies. Because I'm CAV, and CAV is always organized. Let me get the map out of my bag.

See, can't always rely on technology, you know. What? I didn't pack a map. Oh no. Now I'm worried. I'm worried. It's time to panic. Estamos part, Marriya. Let's be calm.

Respiros profound. Deep breaths. Respiros Profundos. I mean, we are going to the peak of the mountain, right? So, naturally, we need to be going up. No? Let's keep going up. Are you okay, Maria?

Whoa. Oh my. I can see the top. We're arriving. Casi Jegamos. We're almost there. Casi Jigamos. We made it.

Look at that amazing view. It was intense, and I don't think I could have done it without you, Maria. But it was well worth it. This is up there with the most... Yeah, this is definitely up there with the most beautiful views of my life. But, Maria, how do we get down? Me dule the corpse. My body hurts.

Me dule the body. No poeo. Wait. Do you hear it too? A helicopter. The helicopter. Maria, lo-escuchas? There it is!

Wow! Why is it landed here? Is this a rescue helicopter? Hmm. It says towards Barcelona. So, it hasn't come to rescue us? The pilot is landing. When he gets out, let me ask him if he can help us.
