Use of the future tense

Use of the future tense

In one quiz there was a sentence:   Hace calor.  Saldré al jardin un rato.   Voy a salir  sounds more natural and is what I hear more often from South Americans. Is the use of the future tense more common in Spain?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Conjugate irregular verb salir in the simple future in Spanish (El Futuro Simple/Imperfecto)"

Hola Andrew

Yes, you're right. The near future is more commonly used in Spain and in Latin America. 

This sentence would probably sound more natural as you said using "voy a salir..".

Saludos
