Usage notes
recordar and lembrar are similar to the English pair recall and remember: recordar cannot always be used as a synonym for lembrar / remember. For instance when lembrar is used in the sense of "not forget to (do something)". recordar also often implies a more intense or nostalgic reliving of past memories than lembrar.[1]
