Did you know that a few states, cities and places in the United States have Hispanic names:
Let’s see some of them.
CALIFORNIA: it means CALI, from calor: hot, FORNIA:from the latin forno or horno: oven.
California means hot as an oven.
TEXAS: it means tejas or rooftiles. The letter x from the latin was replaced by the J, that is why you can say Texas or Tejas,Mexico or Mejico.
LAS VEGAS: that was the last name of the Vegas sisters, if they came walking you could say: they came LAS VEGAS. I heard that a lot when I was younger: ahi vienen LAS GONZALEZ!
COLORADO: it means red. Colorado is when you get blushed in your face. I also remember that from my youth: te pusiste colorado!
NEVADA: the opposite of the hot states, Nevada means when the snow (nieve) falls. La nevada cayó esta mañana: We were snowed in this morning.
FLORIDA: it means when a place is blooming or full of flowers. Esa ciudad está toda Florida: that city is blooming!
And then also every place that starts with SAN meaning SAINT. Like San Diego, San Francisco and San Antonio.
Can you think of any other places?

In Buenos Aires people love to stop for coffee, it’s a national pastime! There are thousands of coffee shops everywhere. I designed a frame that remind us of the old school technique “ fileteado” porteño portraying a popular newsstand on a crowded street. Shop your gift perfect for the holidays !
