Proper names of places are also capitalized in English. Since this is a language learning site, we do our best to observe all the conventions of the written language. - AnnRon, Oct 3, 2017

For location, we use estar.
Para la ubicación, usamos estar.

Oh, I didn't get that he was looking for the verb until I saw your answer, I though he just wanted the answer to the question. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 3, 2017
