Hola Iza, it'sthat I have trouble with hectares (we use them in Can.) and I am always wondering what the heck is that in acres.... - margaretbl, JUL 16, 2010

Answer 3

I prefer acres to hectares but I must use hectares since our country changed over to metric. I have heard the term parcel of land but took it to mean any amount of land, not a certain measurement. I have 880 acres of land which I consider my parcel of land.

Answer 4

parcela or solar??

Answer 5

Maybe en hectáreas (in hectares). One hectare is a little bit less than two and a half acres.
