Salamanca’s Plaza Mayor is a Baroque square with arcades. Its architecture offers a starting point for two useful words: plaza means square; arco means arch.

Imagine a practice scene: you and a friend want to meet, but have not decided where. “¿Quedamos en la plaza?” means “Shall we meet in the square?” A short question puts familiar words to work.

Try answering “Sí, a las cinco”. Then change the time to one that suits you. Read both lines aloud and swap roles. This is an imagined learning exercise, rather than an account of a visit.
