Many places here are called "something"- tenango. This is because the word Tenango means 'place of'. So where I am now, Quetzaltenango, means - place of the quetzal. The Quetzal is the rare national bird of Guatemala and also the name of the currency here. Places where there are many tourists out here tend to be known to the locals as Gringotenango.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson.
