Formato de direcciones de Nicaragua
Nicaraguan addresses go from smallest unit to largest; the 5-digit código postal is written before the city on the last line. Because formal street names are scarce, addresses are traditionally landmark-based ('De la Rotonda Rubén Darío, 2 cuadras al lago'), which remains common practice. Limited public documentation from the postal operator on a strict national format.
