Usage Note

Correría (plural correrías) originally referred to a military raid or incursion into enemy territory, derived from correr (to run). In modern usage it has broadened to mean an adventure, escapade, or series of travels, often with a lively or adventurous connotation — las correrías de su juventud ('the adventures of his youth'). The military sense survives in historical texts. The plural correrías is far more common than the singular.

Examples

"Nos reímos recordando nuestras correrías juveniles."

Natural Translation

We laughed remembering our youthful adventures.
