This is courtesy of 'spanish examples website', The examples are for Spain.
The correct Spanish address format is:
Type of street Street name building number floor number door number Postal code city province (optional, especially if the address is in a big city) Example Spanish address
C/ Santa Maria 45, 3º, 2ª 28012 Madrid
The 3º means tercero (tercer piso) or third floor. The 2ª means segunda puerta or second door.
Speaking this address out loud you would say Calle Santa Marie cuarenta y cinco tercero, segunda.
Hablando a alguien al que das tu dirección: Primero la calle, (Calle X) luego el numero (numero X) luego el piso si tiene (piso X) y luego la letra o el numero de puerta (Letra X puerta X)
C/Goya Nº8 piso 4º letra B
C/Atocha Nº19 piso 2º puerta 8
Dando tu dirección de correo: Calle, numero, piso, letra o puerta, código postal, municipio y provincia.
C/Princesa Nº6 piso 3º letra B CP:28943 Fuenlabrada (Madrid)
I think this answer may vary by country or even region. Here in La Paz we would say:
Numero 20, Calle Bolton, e/Revolución y Madero, Pueblo Nuevo, La Paz, BCS, Mexico.
e/ = entre or between.
This is how you would give directions to a delivery man or for mail. Less formal you would leave off the neighborhood, etc.
