How would I say 'drop by' or 'pop in'?
I want to say 'I will drop by the shops' or I will pop into the shops' ?
I feel like this might be a more idiomatic phrase??
Help would be appreciated! Gracias

To "drop by" is an English phrasal verb meaning to visit someone casually and without being invited.
Pasar por is one option.
I'm gonna drop by the Control room.
Quiero pasar por la sala de control.
Pasarse is good for 'dropping by' or 'popping' in, also caerse and dejarse caer are both valid informal options.
Me pasaré de camino a clase.
I'll pop in on my way to class.
Me caeré ....
Me dejaré caer ....
Me pasaré...
