Tartines Sign

Just by walking around the streets of La Antigua Guatemala you can learn a whole new vocabulary by reading sings. If you don’t believe me, take a trip to the Signs category where you will find a brand new vocabulary like paninos, berengenas, pietra, molletes, torrejas, gasolina, luz, sirenas, et cetera; there are 99 specimens categorized already. How many different languages can you find among all those words?

Today’s new word is tartines, a fancy French open-faced sandwich topped with spreadable ingredients. You can find the Tartines sign on 4a calle oriente, half a block from the Parque Central. Bon appetite!
