Social Sciences - Archaeology | | Spanish term or phrase: el gran faro al que volteamos a ver | There is clearly a non sequitur here in the comparison of one building at one site to three other sites, but before tackling that problem, I'm not clear if volteamos here simply means "turn to" (a great beacon we turn toward)?
La pirámide de Kukulcán “El Castillo” que corona el entorno de esta zona sigue siendo, junto con Uxmal, Ek Balam y con Mayapán el gran faro al que muchos visitantes, en distintas latitudes y momentos, volteamos a ver para encontrar en las grandes empresas y logros del pasado, la firmeza, el coraje y la determinación para construir los sueños del futuro. |

Ah! Entonces opino que sí: se refiere a un punto de referencia, aquello que llama nuestra atención. Es "turn toward", definitivamente o incluso "look toward. No tiene que ver con "turn upside down"

Asker: Aradai, Thanks for your suggestion, but my problem is with "volteamos a". Can it mean "turn toward" rather than "turn upside down"?
Asker: ¡Gracias!
