Start with a place (continent, country, city, etc.) in spanish. Then list a place that begins with the last letter of the one written. Be sure the include the English equivalent and any explanation.
Por ejemplo:
Alemania (Germany)
Next answer must begin with "a": las Antillas Menores (Lesser Antilles Islands, in the Caribbean)
Next answer must begin with "s": Sucre (Capital of Bolivia)
Now it's your turn!

The abbreviation I see in Spanish language media for "Estados Unidos" is EE.UU. - LaBurra, DIC 5, 2009
Does anyone know why it is EE.UU and not E.U? - 00f2b5a1, DIC 5, 2009
I wonder the same thing. Maybe to distinguish from European Union? - LaBurra, DIC 5, 2009

I read (here actuall, a long time ago) that in spanish acronyms, plurals are made by doubling letters. Not sure how reliiable that is. ;) - Valerie, DIC 5, 2009

It's important to know the places that are the same in both languages as well as those that are different! - LaBurra, DIC 5, 2009
