Need Help Understanding Addresses

[Stefania13/14]

Hi everyone. I have been putting together a list of addresses to bring with me on my first Camino. I am confused by how they are written out. I am showing a couple examples below but really what I want to know is what line is a street address, is there a zip code, what are the numbers for, and what are typical abbreviations. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Stefania

C.P. 31002 C. P. Codigo Postal (Postal Code) 31= province of Navarra

Travesía da Universidade 1 Travesia da Universidade (name of the street), 1
15704 Santiago de Compostela 15704 is also a C.P. , with 15 = A Coruña province
A Coruña either province of A Coruña , or city of A Coruña

Orange (movil store): Avda Carlos III - El Noble, 9 - C.P. 31002 - Pamplona
Ivar's Storage at his office: Travesía da Universidade 1 - 15704 Santiago de Compostela - A Coruña

Here fwiw:
Avda = short for Avenida (avenue);
El Noble: the streetmark or house address (building) on the "avenida" or "calle" (street)
C.P. = short for codigo postal = postal code / area locator code ("ZIP code")

Ivar's office: most pilgrims in Santiago will direct you there!
Travesía da Universidade 1 = name of the street (crossing from university, number 1)
15704 = postal code ("ZIP code") Note: mailing from abroad, the letter "E" (España = Spain) should precede the postal code.
A Coruña = name of the province (as an extention to the town's name in case there is a similarly named location)

Hope thishelps.

Thanks so much Peregrine and Fraluchi,
Your answers helped a bunch. Where the numbers are placed in the address really confused me so now I get it : )
Maybe a few other Norte Americanos have been helped out as well.

Some other common abbreviations:

c/ short for = calle or street as in c/Sanitago means Calle Santiago
c/Santiago y Maria = Calle Santiago and Maria
Plaza...(something) means a square - so look for an open area on a map.
Paseo = passage
Parque = park
Travesia = a small square or more likely an intersection with a statue in the middle of it.​

I hope this helps.

Neat
I hadn't seen some of those yet. Now (if I remember) I will have those in my tool box. Thanks!
