Camino al español.

Question

Hello guys

I need your help to know what is the meaning of "Avda" ? ?

I found that word in a text in a Spanish learning book "Camino al español" and I couldn't find its meaning in the dictionary ... so please if anyone can help me I would be so grateful to him/her.

Thanks.

Answer 1

These addresses include abbreviations. Avda = Avenida just like Ave. = Avenue.

We would say:

20 Infant Isabella Ave., 8th floor, Apartment on the Right

They say:

Avda. Infantada Isabel, 8, dcha

The zip code comes before the city name.

B probably means "bajo" or lower level.

Izq means "izquierda," or left.

In Madrid and other Spanish cities, many buildings only have two apartments on each floor.

and dcha is derecha? - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Answer 2

In this case the word "Infanta" means "princess" or more correctly "princess royal", who is either married to the heir, or is the heir in her own right (depending on the rules that apply from country to country) The word "princesa" also means "princess", but in this case it is a common or garden princess who cannot ascend the throne. So the name of the street is

"Princess Isabel Avenue No 20, 8th Floor, Right (apartment)"

Answer 3
