Today, as always for the last 3 years, we are going to talk about a verb or a practical expression, a word that you can use the next time you speak Spanish. What is our topic today?
It's a verb, very ordinary, it's also a noun, but to use it these days, at least if you're in the northern hemisphere, I don't know, our word is abrigo.
We are in July and 34 degrees of heat, it is the middle of summer, why talk about the coat, they will think we are a little crazy.
Well, let's say that heat is energy and coat can also be translated as shelter, protection, asylum.
Yes, in English it is translated as shelter or wrap but, in fact the first translation is coat, jacket, overcoat.
That's right, shelter means protection from danger or a place sheltered from the cold, from storms, i.e. from inclement weather.
As the storm was coming they looked for shelter in some nearby caves
But the most common use of coat is: a garment that protects you from the cold.
In other words, it is a garment open at the front, with long sleeves that is worn over other clothes when it is cold.
Sobretodo- overcoat
Chamarra- jacket
Tapado- cover
Lana – wool
Cuero o piel -leather
Prenda de vestir- clothing item
Mangas largas- long sleeves
And wrap up warm?
It is the verb, the action of protecting oneself from the cold.
Not the ideal verb for summer....
Well, now you have to unwrap, which is the opposite action.
Let's see examples

| Se abriga en la tormenta |
The children get very warm so they can go out to play on winter days.
The girl coats herself, she is very cold.
Mothers say: wrap up warm, so you don't get sick.
When you travel to the south of Argentina you have to wrap up very well.
Besides, remember that if you want to travel, we can help you with your trip with Unique trips your Travel Agency,
And in Los Cabos?
If you come to Los Cabos bring cool clothes, cotton, for example. You only need a light coat or a shall for the airplane because of the air conditioning. And you can also consult us for your trip to Los Cabos or anywhere in the world.
Where does this word abrigo come from?
It comes from Latin, it means to warm up in the sun.
So you can wrap up a child, keep warm at night, in the winter of course...
You can also shelter an idea, that is to say, protect or protect an idea.
Abrigar una idea idea - warm up an idea
