'Tropical' is the name of a beer in the Canary Islands.
Yo no se si saldra en las guias o no, lo unico que se, es que en mi frigorifico no puede faltar un quintillo, creo que es el segundo mejor invento del hombre, despues del mando a distancia jejejeje (bueno la beca erasmus tambien es un gran invento). Yo estoy preparado para ser embajador de nuestro archipilelago, llebando el nombre de Tropical **a lo mas alto** al resto de europa.

Spanish term (edited):
llevando el nombre de Tropical **a lo mas alto**
shouting the name of Tropical from the hilltops
... of the rest of Europe
OK, being a bit cavalier with "llebando", but this is for tourism, which usually allows quite a lot of leeway. In fact, this is perhaps more akin to a marketing question, which leaves a lot of room for creativity

I prefer "proclaiming" to shouting. I think it conveys the idea better of "advertising" - marginally.
Of course, this "proclaiming/shouting" is only metaphorical, and can be achieved in any number of ways

many thanks philgoddard! (Can't say I've ever tried it myself) PS, rooftops is good too, but I felt I needed to reach a little higher..."till the hills are alive with the sound of..." (oh dear!)

: Hello Carol - although I agree the writer talks of promoting the brand, I think the 'heights' refer to where he hopes to put it, not where he is standing! / I'm all for leeway, my point is just that I think 'alto' refers to the prestige not his voice!

hi ormiston - I think that's rather a literal interpretation. In this case, he's shouting it from the heights/mountaintops/rooftops etc - ie, he's proclaiming/advertising it. In fact, come to think of it, I prefer "proclaiming" to "shouting"
