Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how alrededor appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Así era todo alrededor: casas de altas verjas y patios con muros de hiedra y mujeres que lavaban la vereda, y bares con olor a cerveza fermentada donde alguien había cantado tangos alguna vez, hasta que todo había decaído y terminado. Se alzaba un sol candente, blanco, y sin embargo la calle estaba en penumbra, como si el sol la desdeñara
