Marina shares an interesting text about the history of this city in the south of Spain before Mark and Anabel discuss some useful language points. Some of the key grammar points discussed include: the difference between qué and cuál, the imperfect tense, and the gerund. Don't miss the end of the episode when Marina joins Mark to share a new expression: ser del año de la pera.
