Usage Note
Gira refers specifically to a performance or promotional tour (gira de conciertos — 'concert tour'). It is the noun from girar ('to turn/travel around'). Do not confuse it with the third-person singular present of girar (gira — 'it turns'), which is spelled identically. The word also appears in diplomatic contexts: gira presidencial ('presidential tour').
