Other meaning of Quedar?

Is it correct that "quedar" can also mean "to be (located)"?

E.g. In a supermarket you might ask "¿Dónde quedan los cereales?"

I don't understand the difference between the past tenses especially for service and estar. When should it be indefinite or imperfect?

Artistas plásticos...

Hola Inma,

I really enjoyed this 'reader'. I'm a big Rosalía fan!

I'm just curious about the 'artistas plásticos' mentioned in this article. Is this simply describing artists that create art from plastic?

Gracias :)

Ser vs estar again (sigh)

Hi, Shui, is there a difference between “este está compuesto por” and “este es compuesto por”? I would have expected the ser form in this context. From reverso.com I see both forms are quite common. Why would you choose the estar form in this case, and would the ser form be wrong? Thanks!
