Spanish vocabulary of typical buildings that you will find in a town or a city. When you are out and about in a Spanish or Latin American town or city it is always useful to know the names of places and buildings so that you can ask directions or understand the signs. In this lesson you will learn a lot of very useful Spanish vocabulary such as “shop”, “train station” or “bakery”. Note that I have highlighted which of the Spanish words are masculine and which of the Spanish words are feminine. Spanish city vocabulary is often one of the easier sets of words to remember and use because it is so essential and we see it all around us whilst visiting Spain or Latin America.
