Common misconception
Because 'muchos' and 'muchas' are plural, you don't need to pluralise the noun that follows them.
The agreement of 'muchos' and 'muchas' must be in both gender and number so the nouns must be pluralised too, e.g. 'muchas playas', 'muchos pueblos'.
Teacher tip
This lesson provides a good opportunity for pupils to research different Spanish cities. They could use their knowledge of geographical features as a checklist. Some pupils may also like to extend their vocabulary by finding out words for other features such as streams, hills, cliffs etc.
