<span>1. The correct answer is "reírse." "Contar chistes" means to tell jokes, and "reírse" means to laugh, which is why this is the correct answer. "Llorar" means "cry," which is possible, but not the best answer. "Besarse" means "to kiss," which isn't usually the case with jokes. "Casarse" means "to marry," which definitely isn't the result of telling jokes. 2. The correct answer is the Canary Islands. The Balearic Islands are owned by Spain, but aren't off the coast of Africa. The Pyrenees are a mountain range. The Picos de Europa are also a mountain range.</span>
<span>The Cecon-run Tortugario Monterrico is just a short walk east down the beach from the end of Calle Principal and then a block inland.Several endangered species of animals are raised here, including leatherback, olive ridley and green sea turtles, caimans and iguanas.There's an interesting interpretative trail and a little museum with pickled displays in bottles. The staff offer lagoon trips, and night walks from August to December to look for turtle eggs, and will accept volunteers. Around sunset nightly from September to January on the beach in front of the tortugario, workers release baby turtles. For a Q10 donation you can 'buy' a turtle and release it. Despite what everybody else is doing, please refrain from using flash cameras and flashlights.</span>
