what does "los famas" mean in spanish
i looked it up and i get fame for "fama" but it does not make sense in this particular context
Context:
"Cuando los famas salen de viaje..."
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. You are right that it does not make sense. The word for fame is "la fama" and the gender is feminine. If it is capitalized, it would make sense referring to a family named Famas. Just in case there is something "new" out there, I went to the dictionary of the Real Academia Española and get the message "the word is not in the dictionary!" Perhaps there is a "typo" in your book?

this is from
I. Viajes – Julio Cortázar
It can be found at the first website you get when you search "Viajes Julio Cortázar" on google.
