Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries families often have a traditional ‘punto de encuentro’, such as a specific park, a church courtyard, or a relative’s house. Mentioning the exact name of the place (e.g., ‘la plaza de San Miguel’) shows you’re familiar with local customs and can make the conversation feel more natural.
