Nice piece! Vestígios are translated with the same word, but that is not english, as far as I know it refers to remains (ruins)….vestígios arqueológicos ….old remains…
Glad you liked it!
My understanding is that vestiges and ruins are basically the same, with vestiges just being a little less tangible / more general. Vestiges are whatever is left from a previous time (any type of remains/traces) and ruins means the same, but is more likely to refer to buildings/structures. So I think either translation would be okay here. Either way, I’ll update the vocabulary section to show more of the alternatives.
Thanks for your feedback! I will also pass along your comments about enlarging the text!
One other remark, in the entire website is it not possible to enlarge the english sentences a bit, these are all in grey and not black and moreover they are smaller, bit the gray and the small lettertype makes it very difficult to read (for me…)….
