Hi SD, welcome to the Forum. If you look under the More tab you will find the Phrasebook, search your phrase in that and you will get a good answer!

You can also use the "a cántaros" expression along with other verbs (aside from "llover") "to mean abundantly and with much force."
For example
La lluvia caía a cántaros ? The rain fell (was falling) in buckets/It was raining cats and dogs/the rain was pouring down/it was coming down in sheets

Not quite correct I will post the correct answer after the questioner has made an initial attempt so long as no one else beats me to it - FELIZ77, Dec 22, 2010
One "a" missing. Another "a" ia lacking an accent and a third "a" should be an "o". - Eddy, Dec 22, 2010
Corrected, thanks to you both. - kenwilliams, Dec 22, 2010
