Questions & Answers about Los viajeros pasean por el centro histórico.

Why do we use por here instead of para?
In Spanish, por is used to express movement through, along, or around a general space. Since the travelers are strolling through the center, por is the correct choice. If they were heading to the center as a final destination, you would use para.
What makes pasean different from other verbs like caminan or andan?
The verb pasear specifically means to take a stroll or walk for pleasure and leisure. While caminar and andar refer to the physical act of walking anywhere, pasean tells us the travelers are walking around just to enjoy the sights.
Why does histórico come after centro instead of before it?
Descriptive adjectives that classify or define exactly what type of thing a noun is usually come after the noun in Spanish. Putting histórico after centro clearly distinguishes it from other types of centers, like a commercial or modern center.
