can you say pero sin embargo?

Question

can you say pero sin embargo?

just like but however, to continue a sentence as a good connecting phrase?

here is the sentence i am putting it:

Me encanta mi barrio, ya que está cerca de la ciudad capital, y siempre hay mucho que hacer pero sin embargo necesitamos un nuevo parque para la próxima generación.

help much appreciated! :D

can you answer my question please? - bayth002, Oct 13, 2012

cerca de la capital, is probably enough, I've never heard the combination ' ciudad capital'.. Minor point! - annierats, Oct 13, 2012

Answer 1

Using both pero and sin embargo seems redundant here, can't tell you about the exact rules but here's the nuances I'd get from that phrase:

Me encanta mi barrio, ya que está cerca de la ciudad capital, y siempre hay mucho que hacer***, pero** necesitamos un nuevo parque para la próxima generación.(Here you'd introduce an idea directly related to this statement)

Me encanta mi barrio, ya que está cerca de la ciudad capital, y siempre hay mucho que hacer*;sin embargo necesitamos un nuevo parque para la próxima generación.(Here you'd introduce an idea not directly related to your initial statement)

Good answer. - annierats, Oct 13, 2012

Answer 2

I don't think you need "pero" here. Sin embargo means: nevertheless, however..so in your sentence "pero" is not really necessary. Wait for more answers.
