I gave this answer on another SD thread regarding addresses: addresses in spanish
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”.
In Costa Rica you write the actual direction.
Horgar Betel
Limón, Guapiles, Cascadas 1,
500 mt. al oeste y 300 mt. al sur Surtidora el Prado.
It is OK until you start getting into the landmarks that used to be there but are no longer or the names have changed.
My expierience has been manily in northern Mexico and seemed to be:
Name Street # - Street Name Region of the City (Colonia, Fraccionamiento, Sector) City , State, Postal Code
For example my address was:
Mexguy 155A Versailles Colonia Del Valle - Sector Frances San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon XXXXXX
A good friend lived at:
Mexguy's Friend 42 Calle Navio Colonia Tesoro Monterrey, Mexico XXXXXX
In Baja California Sur, Mexico:
