Hola Engel A.

Could you please share the full sentence where you’re seeing voy a + infinitivo” + “de? This will help us understand exactly what structure you’re referring to, as ir a + infinitivo doesn’t normally take de.

Looking forward to your example so we can clarify it for you!

Saludos

Silvia

Buenas Silvia, 

Me parece que Engel se refiere a las frases/ la construcción idiomatica que usa 'Ir de + noun'

Ir de vacaciones 

Ir de compras 

Ir de viaje

Hay un ejemplo arriba: 

Tú vas a ir de vacaciones el viernes.
