Welcome to ¡Cuéntame!, the podcast that helps you practice and improve your Spanish through stories from the Spanish-speaking world. In this episode, Marta shares a very special story. Not only is it one of her favorite legends, it is also the final episode in the series of legends from the Spanish-speaking world. Today’s legend comes from Mexico and tells the tragic and beautiful story behind two of the country’s most famous volcanoes: Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. According to the legend, these volcanoes were once two people deeply in love.
