/ /autoˈpista/noun
A motorway in a Spanish-speaking country.We pass abandoned mine workings, tall chimneys reminiscent of Cornwall, before descending to connect with the autopista for the final few miles into Aguilas....
- So, back on the autopista, for that is where we were by now, we pulled over at a garage, bought a map and retraced our route into the city centre.
- Accompanied by my colleague, I drove along the new autopista leading out of San Juan, Puerto Rico, toward Guyama.
