Cultural Tip
Address conventions differ across Spanish‑speaking countries. In many places the order is street name, number, apartment, city, province, and postal code. When writing formally, include the country name on the last line. Using 'bien' sounds natural in everyday conversation, while 'correcto' feels a bit more formal.
