La curiosa cacería de Napoleón y los conejitos
B1 Spanish listening practice · Mexican Spanish · Curated for intermediate learners
What does “ir de cacería” mean in Spanish?
Ir de cacería is “to go hunting,” built on the pattern Spanish uses for outings: ir de + activity. Ir de compras (shopping), ir de vacaciones (on vacation), ir de paseo (for a stroll), ir de pesca (fishing). The de phrase names the kind of trip; destinations still take a — so you can ir a la montaña de cacería.
The clip’s hunter is Napoleon himself: “le gustaba mucho ir de cacería, solo que era malísimo” — and when 3,000 tame rabbits were released for an easy hunt, they charged toward him looking for food until he fled in his carriage. Two more outings for the collection: ir de fiesta (partying) and, in Spain, ir de copas (bar-hopping).
