Formato de direcciones de El Salvador
Salvadoran addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, street + number, then the colonia (neighborhood), then the line with the 4-digit código postal (prefixed 'CP') to the left of the municipality and department names. Urban street numbering is incomplete, so colonia names and landmark references are commonly used.
