Especially for first-time learners,"Los Trotamundos" ensures that all language exercises are short and varied to help retain the learners' interest through frequent changes in activity. These include a mixture of games, musical and creative activities which reflect both the cultures of Latin America and mainland Spain in a lively and entertaining way.

The layout is clear with uncluttered pages using bright colours and cartoon-style illustrations throughout - not least in the adventure story of "El misterio de la pirámide" which unfolds as the course progresses. Included in the student's book are a vocabulary section, which allows students to build up their own mini-dictionary, and a section on pronunciation, which tackles key sounds which are unique to Spanish.
