Durante mi estancia reciente en España me desgasté dos pares de sandalios por caminar tanto, y tuve que tirarlos a basuras el último día de mi visita.No hablamos de mis ampollas.

During my recent stay in Spain I wore out two pairs of sandals by walking so much. I had to throw them away the last day of my visit. We won't talk about my blisters.
