esquina - feminine noun (la) - corner. Look up esquina in the dictionary

Dando vuelta a la esquina, encontrarás una tienda de abarrotes.
Turning the corner, you'll find a grocery store.

Dando vuelta a la esquina, encontrarás una tienda de abarrotes

So esquina means "corner", tienda de abarrotes mean "grocery store"...
does encontrarás mean "find"?
does dando vuelta mean "turning"?

That translate is very weir for me, sometimes I don't understand some translate in English, corner (Esquina), grocery store (tienda de abarrates), my father had a grocery store four years ago.

The grocery corner, when the guys arrived to sunbathing, it was named the La Guadalupana, and the grocery store was in a corner of the street Belisario Dominguez.

I guess it means to turn the corner of a street in a car. ;)

Yes, I guess that, for example your home is on the corner of supermarket.

Corrections above.
It just means "turning", it could be walking, driving-- it's not specified.

oh ok would it mean a thing that's turning and turning ? (spinning and spinning) or is that a different word?
