How to write Spanish postal

addresses
The standard way to write a street address in Spain is very simple, although the
street names themselves can be very long, what with all the generals and writers
and revolutions that are honoured in this way.

The correct Spanish address format is:

Type of street – Street name – building number – !oor 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 !oor.

The 2ª means segunda puerta or second door.

Speaking this address out loud you would say “Calle Santa Marie cuarenta y cinco
– tercero, segunda”.

Address in Spanish is la dirección.

To ask for someone’s address in Spanish you can use “¿Cuál es tu dirección?” or
“¿Cómo se escribe su dirección?” – (tu and usted forms respectively).

There are many di"erent types of streets of course, but the basic ones are Calle,
Avenida, Plaza and Paseo.

Take care if you are writing Spanish street addresses from one of the autonomous
regions of Spain which has a separate o#cial language (Catalonia, Valencia, Galicia
or The Basque country). In these Spanish regions the names of the street types
are often written di"erently.

Castellano Catalan Gallego Basque

Calle Carrer de Rúa Kale

Avenida Avinguda Avenida Avenue

Plaza Plaça Praza Plaza

This is important to remember if you are searching on Google maps for a Spanish
street address in Barcelona. If you search for ‘Calle’ instead of ‘Carrer de’, the
street you want might not show up.

If you are sending post or a package from the UK or the USA to Spain, people
recommend either using UPS to make sure it gets here, or your regular mail
service with tracking or package insurance options. My own experience of
receiving packages and letters from the UK in Barcelona has been quite good so
far, but sending stu" back is relatively expensive.
