LingoflySpatial links: des de… fins a, cap a
The pair des de… fins a sets a stretch of path — "from… to". Des de la finestra fins al balcó hi ha dos passos. For example: “Des de la finestra fins al balcó hi ha dos passos” — From the window to the balcony — two steps. A rule from the Valencian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
The pair des de… fins a sets a stretch of path — "from… to". Des de la finestra fins al balcó hi ha dos passos.
Before the masculine article everything contracts: fins a + el → fins al, des de + el → des del.
A direction with no end of the road — cap a, "toward": El tren va cap a la costa.
And simply a place — the short a: Som a la cuina. Four links divide space honestly.

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
