that spanish has two words for mountain ranges.
the word 'sierra' is for a smaller grouping of mountains, whereas 'cordillera' is for a large mountain range. groups of mountains inside a cordillera can be called a sierra.
i just think it's neat that there's a geographical classification that exists in spanish and not english (or italian, which is strange because it's usually very similar to spanish).
(and also that spanish has other distinctive geographical categorisations different from english that isn't "the americas is one continent")
thank you for reading my blog post.
