Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when to use 'visión' versus 'vista'?

'Visión' (the sense, the strategic goal, the perspective) focuses on the *concept* or *ability*. 'Vista' (the view, the scenery) focuses on the *physical thing* you are looking at. Use 'vista' when describing a beautiful scene, and 'visión' when discussing the ability to see or a strategic plan.
