Description
Spanish reading passage about a trip to the Central Market (el Mercado Central) in Santiago, Chile. Tourists have this market on their “To Visit” lists as it has many restaurants that sell typical Chilean food as well as stands selling fresh fish and seafood. There are also some stands that sell local fruit and vegetables. The reading is about a class trip to the market and what they do before and after eating at a restaurant there. Students will also read about typical Chilean dishes that they order.
The reading is completely in the present tense (el presente de indicativo) though due to vocabulary, may be more appropriate for Spanish 2 students.
