When to use "por."

Question

Do I always use "por" when talking about location?

Would I say, "Camino por la ciudad" or "Camino en la ciudad" ?

Answer 1

Camino por la ciudad. = Most likely meaning is "Road through the city"

Camina para la ciudad = Most probable meaning is "Road to the city", and

Camino a la ciudad = Most likely meaning is "Road to the city".

Answer 2

Camino por la ciudad would be correct in this instance. Por would relate to "through," "along," "by" or "in the area of".
