What does the phrase "Señora sin numero" actually mean in regards to postal addresses?
I know it literally means "lady without number", but I don't understand what that phrase actually is referring to in the context of it being part of a postal address.
I can't find any mention of it in my dictionary or in the phrasebook or Q&A section on here.
Muchas Gracias / Many Thanks,
Donna.

Literally it means unnumbered but if you are translating an address you just omit it and put the street name.
Eg. Sra Muñoz, Calle Colon S/N°, San José, Costa Rica
Mrs Muñoz, Colon Street, San José, Costa Rica
In Mexico as well there are many locations that do not have a street address and as Kiwi stated those are designated by the abbreviation S/N instead of a number.
Further here in Baja addresses are given by cross streets and neighborhood. For example Sra. Muñoz, Calle Colon S/N, E/Ocre y Barrilles, Fraccionamiento Pueblo Nuevo, San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico. E/ = entre (between)
