¡Felicidades! Congratulations on finishing! I hope you have learned enough information on
Spanish cuisine that you can order in a Spanish restaurant, or at least know that they will not
serve you tacos!
You don't have to go to Spain to eat great Spanish foods. There are great Spanish restaurants in
Durham and Raleigh! I encourage you to try one some time. ¡Que sabroso!
