Puerto Rican Cuisine
Find the capitalized words in the puzzle grid
"Puerto Rican cuisine is full of flavor and comfort food. MOFONGO and crispy TOSTONES are always a crowd favorite, usually served with ARROZ CON GANDULES and slow roasted PERNIL ASADO. On holidays, families will make PASTELES, a savory dish made with SOFRITO as its base. Festive celebrations usually include LECHON ASADO."
Coimbra — University Spirit & Old City Charm
Find the capitalized words in the puzzle grid
"Coimbra's student traditions feel timeless and theatrical. ESTUDANTES (students) fill streets near the MONDEGO (Mondego River), climbing ESCADARIAS (stairways) toward SE VELHA (Old Cathedral) and SE NOVA (New Cathedral), with a quiet CAPELA ANTIGA (old chapel) nearby. The city's sound includes FADO COIMBRA (Coimbra-style fado), and major landmarks include UNIVERSIDADE COIMBRA (University of Coimbra), BIBLIOTECA JOANINA (Joanina Library), PACO DAS ESCOLAS (School Palace), TORRE UNIVERSITARIA (University Tower), and JARDIM BOTANICO (Botanical Garden). The formal academic robes often remind visitors of Hogwarts and are frequently discussed in connection with J.K. Rowling."
Each puzzle teaches you about the destination while you search for words!
