Translation Disasters: The Best in Place Over Cup Special
This bar is on Calle Capitán Haya, in the north of Madrid and two doors down from the United Nations World Tourism Organization.
I have been walking past it for several days and contemplating what they’re trying to express. The best I can come up with is that it’s the best place for mixed drink specials.
The Spanish word “copa” is used either for a literal cup, or for a mixed drink–rum and coke, gin and tonic etcetera.
