How to say Village in Spanish?

Question

How to say Village in Spanish? El pueblo, campo, o aldea?

and what about Village Festival? I found that 'puebl'o means 'people' too? So if I write Festival del Pueblo, it could mean Festival of people not Village Festival.

So which one is better and familiar in Spanish?

Gracias,

pueblo...literally means "Village" - michelle7656, Mar 14, 2012

Answer 1

Use pueblo. Yes, according to Spanish Dict it also can mean people. However, in most contexts, it means village.

If you translate this festival as "Festival del Pueblo," it would make perfect sense and be understood.

Usually "Pueblo" is used. In spanish, it is more common to mean village and "Festival del Pueblo" would most likely be acceptable.
