These are my first quizzes, do not hesitate to give constructive criticisms if you want to help me :)
Although you seemed to have forgotten the Anglo-Spanish border at Gibraltar
But:
- "Don Quijote" (Spanish spelling) should be a type-in for "Don Quixote"
- "Duero" (Spanish name for the river) should be a type-in for "Douro" (this one, which is often used in English, is the Portuguese name)
- "Gernika" should be also accepted for "Guernica", since it's the name of a town in the Basque Country, and the first is the basque name while the second is the Spanish name
If you need any help translating, just let me know.
When "Grenada" wasn't accepted (and after I tried it at least 3 or more times) I was honestly stumped and all I could do was stare dumbly at the page, thinking that either you or I had made a mistake somewhere.
(Typing out "battle of" literally didn't occur to me, again because of the question wording.)
