Usage Note

Último means 'last' in the sense of 'most recent' or 'final in a sequence' (la última vez = 'the last time'). Do not confuse it with pasado ('last' in calendar phrases: el año pasado = 'last year'). The phrase por último ('finally, lastly') is a common discourse connector in both writing and speech.
