The example 'Sierra Nevada se encuentra en la provincia de Granada.' seems to me to suggest passive 'se' rather than reflexive. Perhaps because I tend to translate it as 'is found' (passive). Is that an accurate translation?
Also, I've got in the habit of using the Latin American ubicar and estar ubicado. Are these considered incorrect in Spain?

Is it correct that "quedar" can also mean "to be (located)"?
E.g. In a supermarket you might ask "¿Dónde quedan los cereales?"
When should we use pues versus porque? In the text it was translated as "because" = "pues". Thank you!
Hello, I haven't seen the phrase "Hoy en día" before, is this common usage and when is it most useful to use rather than just Hoy.
Thanks
Does no debe stand for must not or don't have to ?

In the first sentence, is it possible to omit the “de” ? ie, “escoger entre todas las fiestas” ?
If so, does the nuance of the meaning change at all?
Hola,
Where there is a double vowel, such as leer, is the accent always placed on the second of the two vowels, ie leérmelo, etc?
Gracias,
I learned that you can use the futuro simple and the condicional simple to express something which might happen in the future.
Is the difference that the futuro simple only can be used with a sentence which states the probability of the action?
E.g.:
Tú ________ chocolate sin parar
Comerías
Pero:
Probablemente, tú comerás chocolate sin parar.
If my assumption is correct, what is the difference to:
Probablemente, tú comerías chocolate sin parar.
In a textbook a sentence was given as:
“ Es muy gordo; come más que dos hombres ordinaries.”
My question is why is it not más de because of the “dos” being a quantitative factor. Is it a comparison?
