recorrida

Recorrida is a noun in Spanish, feminine, derived from the verb recorrer. It denotes the act of going around a route or area and, by extension, the result of that action: a circuit, tour, or sweep along a path; it can also mean an inspection or patrol of a place or territory.

The term is used in several senses: a tour or series of visits to multiple sites along a route, such as a city tour or a field visit for work; a routine inspection or patrol conducted by authorities, maintenance crews, or officials who check a region or facility; and a walkthrough or on-site visit in professional contexts (construction, journalism, event planning) to assess conditions or gather information.

Etymology: from recorrer and the nominalizing suffix -ida; it emphasizes something that has been traversed or covered.

Regional usage: in Spanish-speaking countries, recorrida can refer to both a literal journey through places and a broader sweep of a geographic area. In political, journalistic, or organizational contexts, it often refers to a planned sequence of stops as part of an itinerary or inspection.

Related terms: recorrido, itinerario, ruta, gira, paseo.

Limitations: in some contexts, recorrida denotes the same idea as recorrido but with an emphasis on the act of going through several points; in others, recorrido is more common for a single route or fixed path.
