It eliminates the need for a dictionary and you zip right along from one short story to the next. This particular book covers a bit of history and legends from Spain. So not only will you get to improve your Spanish but you'll learn a little bit about their culture and history. That's a double win. The stories are short and you can whiz through them in about ten minutes, give or take. I will plan to buy more of these types of books in the future. Highly recommended for the intermediate user. Review: Good for intermediate level Spanish - These are very easy to read short stories. I have (all?) four in the series, stories from Spain, Mexico, Puerto RIco and Latin America. I am also reading some more difficult material but find these stories a nice way to keep reminding myself of the word order and sentence structure through conversational and written Spanish, which is best learned through practice. It is nice to have the English translation on the opposite side and the glossery/dictionary of words in the back of the books. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #894,204 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #203 in Spanish Language Instruction (Books) #1,901 in Folklore & Mythology Studies #5,743 in Social Sciences (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 48 Reviews | ## Images ![Stories from Spain/Historias de Espana, Second Edition (Side by Side Bilingual Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aLjtmN6hL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic, easy to read and follow. *by A***A on August 14, 2013* This is a great concept to help one translate from English to Spanish.

The stories are very short, which can be an advantage for the struggling beginner, and only mildly interesting in themselves. Don't expect great literature here. My only real complaint is that often the translations are too broad. As an example, consider the following pair of sentences: "Prudencia quedó muy sorprendido" and the translation, "Prudencia was very surprised". The problem is that "quedó" here means became or came to be, not was, which would be estuvo or estaba. This would send the reader to a dictionary to look up this particular meaning of quedar, which is what a bilingual book is supposed to prevent in the first place. There are many other examples. Still, not a bad book and an effective learning tool. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4646351-stories-from-spain-historias-de-espana-second-edition-side-by](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4646351-stories-from-spain-historias-de-espana-second-edition-side-by) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
