One thing that I couldn’t quite understand before I moved to Finland was the sheer amount of berries in these parts. You can pick them from the forests, from the hills and sometimes from the sides of the roads, and depending on the time of summer you will see different ones available.
The funniest thing about it all is that I’ve learned their names in Finnish, so I needed to check in Wikipedia what were their Spanish names and lo and behold, most of them were fruits I already knew, but didn’t know what their appearance was. Some examples below:
Grosella = Redcurrant = Punaviinimarja/Punaherukka
Frambuesa = Raspberry = Vadelma
Mora azul= Blueberry = Mustikka
