In the same way that galesa in the first example is equivalent to "Welsh," perhaps Esta torera es cordobesa is more equivalent to "This bullfighter (female) is Cordoban." 

Hi, sorry i missed the g in “missing”. Shirley. 

What are "baleadas" por favor? Y un "tapado"?

Hello.  The following example in this lesson threw me off:  "After the party we will call a taxi" (Despues de fiesta llamamos un taxi).  My question is why was the present tense ("llamamos"), and not the future tense ("llamaremos"), used here?  My guess is that the future time is very short (i.e., right after the party).  If this is correct, is there a general rule for a given time frame that would require use of the future tense?  Thank you for any clarification.

Why was there no translation for "Venir a cuento" (To come to the point) , "San Ginés" (Saint Genesius), "El asilo del libro" (the Book Asylum) and "Tusitala? Do the choice of names for the librerías have no relevance? It might be of value to know why such names were chosen. Ej:

¿Qué significa Tusitala?, La Librería dice, "nos preguntáis con frecuencia: Tusitala significa "el que cuenta historias", es el nombre que los nativos de Samoa daban a Robert Louis Stevenson cuando se reunían con él para escuchar sus cuentos.
En la librería Tusitala siempre dedicamos un espacio al escritor escocés, que ahora se amplía con 'Olalla', novela ambientada en España y que ha recuperado Ediciones Invisibles. Una joya de la narrativa que os recomendamos encarecidamente."

Interesting, no?

So, Juan was supplying both sides of the Revolution with his harina tortillas and also took them across the Rio Grande? I always wondered where Taco John's restaurants came from! Or was that Taco Bell's?
