Jorge Iglesias Hello Jorge I'm very content to be here I'm very happy

to be here La Plaza of Spain is simply beautiful beautiful here's a tip

simply is a nice adverb to remember take the word simple exactly as spelled in English and simply add Mente Simplemente this might be the most beautiful square I've personally ever seen although rather than a square which is what plaza actually means the place de espagna resembles more of a big open half circle

In the middle of it all is a fountain surrounded by canals, which are very picturesque. Jorge, this plaza is hermosa, vera. This square is beautiful, right? I just love how the sun is bathing the whole plaza in warm, vibrant colors. It's very aesthetic and hard not to be put in a good mood here. As Jorge and I take a slow walk around the fountain and soak in all of the sites, let's go over some things you'll find most handy in a touristic attraction like this. Is there an ATM here?

There is a cajero automatico Aki, this is an important question as not everywhere except card. I've heard that to ride a boat along the canal here is as cheap as seven euros, but they only take cash. Therefore, the next question you should learn is, Can you pay with targeta? Can one pay with card? Say, Pue

Pagar With Targetta Can One Pay with Cod In a place as beautiful as the Plaza de Spain It's common to ask others to help snap a photo Happens to me all the time

Luckily, I can ask Jorge Jorge Pue de tomarme a photo Can you take a photo of me? Pue Tome A photo Pue

Can you take me a photo A photo Pue de tomarme a photo Or more simply you can just say A photo, por favor

A photo please One photo for favor here's a tip photo is one of those few Spanish words

that sounds like it should be masculine but is actually feminine this is because despite ending in an O it's la photo as amazing as these tourist attractions are we never know when we need to answer

nature's call therefore to answer to ask where are the bathrooms, we can say, Donde stand los banos. Donde Estan. Los

Banyos. Fortunately, the Plaza de Espagna is completely free to enter and enjoy. However, I've also heard they'll soon be implemented. an entry fee, which is pretty normal for tourist sites like this, I guess in order to cover maintenance fees. To ask, how much is the entrance fee, we can ask, Quanto cost la entrata. Quanto, cost a la entrada. To ask what time it opens, you'd say, Ake or

Abre Que Oda Abre Ake Ora Ake Ora abe Likewise To ask what time it shuts

We'd say Ake Oda Sierra A What Siera Cierra

Ake Ora Sierra Alternatively You could just ask What the Operator hours are. Ke orario diene.

Let me say that slower. To remember orario, think of its similarity to ora, which means hour in Spanish. And of course, we use hours or hours

to schedule our time. Hence, horario. What hourio Well, there we go. That should be enough to get you navigating around one of the many beautiful tourist attractions, not just in Spain, but the entire Hispanic world. Hey, a momento.

Can you hear that? It's unmistakable. What else could it be around here other than the sounds of flamenco echoing through the plaza? It sounds majestic. It sounds majestic. Vamos. I want to get closer. I want to get closer.

I'm coming from that way. Up the stairs. And by the column, can you see? There seems to be a lot of people gathered. Vamos, let us. Here. Here. Here.

Here is that. A baller of flamenco. Stunning the crowds. Ole! Oleg! Uh-oh. Jorge. She's pointing at you.

At me? No. I think she wants to dance. Okay. Fine. I hate to disappoint. I'll follow your step. Well,

vamos to bailar. Wow. That was a rush. I loved that. Lots of people recording, though. I hope I didn't mess up too bad. I actually need a break. How about I sit on this mural away from the action?

Whilst I watch the horses pass and catch my breath, we can test you on everything you need to know to be prepared to come to a place like this. How would you ask if there is an ATM here? There a cajero automatic here? There. Cajero. Automatic.

Here. How would you ask if one can pay with card? Cue. Pue de Pagar with targeta? C. Pugre. With targeta. If ever, you need to ask somebody to take a photo of you, what would you ask?

Pue tomar me a photo? Pue. Tomarme. One photo. Or, a more simplified way of asking this would be a photo,

for favor. One photo. For favor. The next time you need to answer Nature's call, what would you ask? Donde stand those banios. Donde? Where are the

Banyos? Where are the banos? How would you ask how much the entrance costs? Quanto cost the Entrada Quanto Cuesta La Entrada

How would you ask at what time it opens? Aque hour abre A What? Ora. Abre. Likewise, how would you ask what time it shuts? Ake or a sierra?

Ah, what are the opening hours? Cierra. Alternatively, how would you ask what are the opening hours? Remember, think of the word, Oro. O'rario. What orio Tiene?

What? Orario. Tien. For example, what do you have La Plaza de Spain?

And that's it finished. Once you can answer those questions, you'll be well on your way to impressing the locals and you'll never have to worry

about wondering where the toilets are again. But guys, I'm feeling a little bit exhausted after that adrenaline rush and I seem to have left Jorge with the crowds you guys should be able to hold your own around here right if there's anything you need you know how to defend yourself

how about we catch up in the next episode maybe we can tour some of the local casino in Sevilla I heard it's rather exquisite after Pronto my people we're we're going
