Did you know that peaches (in Spanish, duraznos) were introduced to South America by Spanish conquistadors in the 15th and 16th centuries? All the way from across the ocean, the peaches adapted well to the soil and climate and have since been used in many creative dishes and drinks. One of these drinks is called “Cremolada de Durazno.” In hot climates, this simple yet refreshing drink is the perfect way to cool down on a warm day. Let’s make it together and practice our Spanish while we’re at it!

Here at Cultural Bytes, we believe the best way to learn a language is to learn the culture. When you sign your child up for our ViLaCa (Virtual Language Camp) classes, they will practice speaking, listening, writing, and reading in Spanish, all while learning about amazing places, foods, animals, and recreation found in Latin American countries. We guarantee that their learning will be sweet, maybe even as sweet as a Cremolada de Durazno drink.
