Turning Infinitives into Nouns
In Spanish, you can use the infinitive form of any verb as a masculine, singular noun. By adding a determiner like el (the) or un (a/an) before the infinitive, you turn it into a full noun phrase that can be modified by adjectives.
To make your descriptions more poetic or sensory—perfect for a luxury spa retreat—place the adjective before the infinitive.
