Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries street numbers are not always sequential; they can include letters (e.g., 12B) or be based on a block system. When asking for an address, it’s common to say 'número' rather than 'casa', and to specify the 'calle' and sometimes the 'colonia' or 'barrio' for clarity.
