意味
The act of lying in the sun to get a tan.
文化的背景
The 'vacaciones de sol y playa' are a staple of Spanish life. Benidorm and the Costa del Sol are iconic locations dedicated almost entirely to this activity. In Mexico, 'asolearse' is often used interchangeably with 'tomar el sol', but 'tomar el sol' sounds slightly more like a planned leisure activity. In Mar del Plata, the most famous beach city, 'tomar el sol' is often accompanied by drinking 'mate', a traditional herbal tea. Sunbathing is often a social event with music (Reggaeton, Salsa) rather than a quiet activity.
