Why is it masculine?
Túneles is masculine. As a loanword from French "tunnel," it was adopted into Spanish with masculine gender. While words ending in -el in Spanish are typically masculine (e.g., "papel," "hotel," "pastel"), this pattern alone does not fully explain the gender assignment of loanwords. The masculine gender was inherited through the French borrowing process, where French "tunnel" is also masculine. Spanish typically preserves the gender of Romance language loanwords, making the masculine gender a natural result of the borrowing pattern rather than a true exception.
