Get ready to return to Isabel’s café, where every day brings something unexpected. In the first chapter of this new season, Elencuentro, Isabel finds herself in the middle of an intriguing situation, without even trying.

Miguel, el abogado que se tomó el café de la suerte en la temporada anterior, vuelve al bar de Isabel con muy buenas noticas. No obstante, parece que el café de la suerte trajo más suerte de la esperada y Miguel conocerá a una persona… especial. ¿Surgirá el amor (o el interés) entre ellos?

Join us to discover what happens when fate (and coffee!) bring people together. This chapter also introduces useful expressions like dar la enhora buena and congeniar, and gives you a chance to practise the subjunctive in relative clauses.
