No me había fijado en tu nombre, alex...yo también viví en Gijón por 6 meses. - vivalafuriaroja, Jun 22, 2011
Desgraciadamente, ya no estoy ahí, volví a Inglaterra en Julio el año pasado. Cómo lo encuentras ahí? Te gusta? Me encanta y deseo que pueda volver para tomar sidra en la cuesta del cholo! - alexengijon, Jun 24, 2011

I know, I just wondered if it could be used like this as well. - alexengijon, Jun 21, 2011
I think it's "dar la vuelta" or "dar vueltas" - Eddy, Jun 21, 2011

I work as a teller, and I have heard "Me das la vuelta?" to mean "Will you give me my change?" In this case, "dar la vuelta" is to give someone their change back.

This must be a regionalism. The usual terminology is "el cambio," "el sobrante," or "lo que sobra" - 005faa61, Jun 21, 2011
El vuelto/la vuelta is used in Cuba for change. - Sheily, Jun 21, 2011

Dar una vuelta means to go for a walk, a stroll.
