What is the ETA? Is it the militant wing of the Basque people? Do they want their autonomy? Are they willing to go to violent extremes to cause terror in an effort to achieve their goal of separation from the Spanish Crown? Have there been any successful terror plots or assassinations? What does Spain plan to do about their violent ways?

- Administración: alcalde, alguacil, barrio
- Militar: alcázar, almirante, rehén
- Vivienda: alcoba, alquiler, azotea, zaguán
- Agricultura: aceituna, acequia, arroz, algodón, alubia, azúcar, naranja, zanahoria
- Artesanía: albañil, alfarero, alfiler, badana
- Comercio: aduana, almacén, arancel, fanega, maravedí
- Topónimos: Cáceres, Guadalquivir,
Guadarrama ,Madrid
<<Topónimo>> = cities, rivers, mountains, and other geographical features.
If you do not know what these words mean, use a Spanish-English Dictionary!
