Answer 1

Well thanks a lot James, I appreciate it. I used the good old estar!
Sorry for my late reply, had been without the net for some time now!!!

Mike,

Answer 2

Mike, notice in the above that Vernic said "El restaurante familiar," which means "the family restaurant" (that is, a place serving families). You said :El restaurante de las familias," which means "the restaurant owned by the families." I assume that you meant family restaurant, but both meanings are possible. BTW, "familiar" in Spanish can mean both "related to family" and "familiar" as in English, and the context usually makes clear the intended meaning. But don't shy from using it just because you wouldn't use familiar in English. It's very common in this context in Spanish.

And I second Vernic's suggestion of unibcarse. I'm asking myself why I didn't suggest the same thing. However, good old estar will work perfectly well here.

Answer 3

Ubica! Well, would never have guess it my self. Gracias.

Answer 4

Que bien. Gracias.

Answer 5

In this context, the right word should be UBICA: El restaurante familiar se ubica en el centro de la ciudad. May be too, El restaurante familiar esta en el centro de la ciudad.
Colocar, is concern to objects in a specific space.

Answer 6

Las dos son correctas. Depende en qué quieres decir. También se puede decir se encuentra o se halla.
