Adventures of the Spanish Language around the World

Winner of the 2010 Isabel Polanco Award. At the end of

Spanish. From those days to our time, the language has
been in a constant state of transformation, transforming
its speakers in the process. This work is much more

those interested in a vital area of our everyday lives: the
language that unites all Hispanics.
