avenida
Madrid's main street
Avenida is the Spanish and Portuguese word for avenue, commonly encountered in street names throughout Latin America, Spain, Portugal, and communities with significant Hispanic or Lusophone populations.
Like its English equivalent, it typically designates a wide, important thoroughfare: The parade proceeded down Avenida Reforma.
In English contexts, avenida usually appears untranslated as part of a proper name.
