Addendum:

:

tintorería= dye clothes

For historical reasons, "tintorerías" hardly ever dye clothes any more, but almost all of them offer washing machine and dry clean services.

:

copistería= Kinkos

Not familiar with this term. It means a place to make photocopies.

:

marisquería= seafood bar

Not just a bar, but also a restaurant (or snack bar) for seafood.

Hi,sorry if this does not work i have got into a bit of a mess.I was reading your reply to this topic and was wondering why number 4 is cerrada not cerrado is it the farmacia or semana which makes it feminine if it is farmacia does it mean nearly all "shops" will be cerrada Thanks

It is the farmacia, yes.

Most words ending in "ía" are feminine as concerning shops.

la panadería
la farmacia
la pastelería
la droguería
la carnicería

Quentin said:

So was his translation of Panadería as a bakery correct? Are tartas sold there? How about tortas? a pastelería? In the U.S. if you go to a bakery you can usually get bread or pastries . You wouldn't get pancakes. What does a panadería sell beyond bread, pretzals, pizza dough, tortillas (Mex.), etc. Who makes cinnamon rolls'- a pastelería or a panadería? How about donuts?

In Spain we do not distinguish the terms so very clearly. Pastelería and panadería are rather similar as both sell bread. At least here in Madrid.
Almost all more simple panaderías have some kind of cakes or donuts, which are sold in all establishments.
So a smaller panadería sells bread, donuts and industrial cakes, roscones (now in "Reyes").
Pastelerías: all kind of cakes, pastry, rolls, bread
