1. Spain
The purpose of this document is to provude guidance for Maps Search and Autocomplete rating
within the Spain market. These guidelines are supplemental to the global MS and AC 2.0
guidelines.

2. Relevance
2.1. Street Types and Articles/Prepositions in Road/Address Queries

It is common for users to omit the street type and/or articles/prepositions in their query. The
opposite might also be true and the name present in the result might contain fewer articles and
prepositions than what the user entered. As long as the street name is the same that the user
entered in Search, or there is a match through the street name in AC, User Intent is considered
satisfied.

User Query Result Relevance Rating

[Lehendakari Avenida del Navigational: User omitted the street type

[Lehendak] Avenida del Match: User omitted the street type and the
Lehendakari Aguirre, preposition in the query.
Bilbao, Vizcaya,
España
[calle co] Calle de Colón, Match: User omitted the preposition in the query.
Madrid, España
[calle de las h] Calle Huertas de la Match: User query has more prepositions than the
Villa, Bilbao, Vizcaya, name in the result.
España

Users might occasionally type in a wrong street type. E.g. they might use “Calle” instead of
“Avenida” for a given road. If a result with a different street type exists close to a fresh viewport
or user location, while the closest result with the exact same street type is considerably further
away, then the closer result with a different road type would be the likeliest user intent.

User Query Result Relevance Rating

[calle de la Paseo de la Excellent: The road type of the result (“Paseo”) does not
castellana] Castellana match the query (“Calle”), however, the road name does
28046 Madrid (“Castellana”). Since this result is within a fresh Viewport
(Fresh VP in España and the closest road named “Calle de la Castellana” is 60
Madrid) miles away, this road is the likeliest intent.

2.2. Other Components of Street Names that could be dropped

It should be noted that even some components of the road name might be dropped (for instance,
a road named after a person or the person’s title) when querying roads and addresses:
 User Query Result Relevance Rating

[calle Calle del Músico Ledesma Navigational: User omitted in the query the
ledesma] 48001 Bilbao preposition (“del”) as well as the title (“Músico”)
Vizcaya, España of the person that the road is named after.
[newton 5 Calle de Isaac Newton, 5 Navigational: User omitted in the query the street
madrid] 28760 Tres Cantos type, the preposition and the first name of the
Madrid, España person that the road is named after.

2.3. Street Number Suffix

Street Numbers might come with a suffix (often used for infill buildings). The most common
suffixes are letters A, B, C, etc. or Bis.

Suffixes are an integral part of the street number as they help differentiate a given street number
from others. As a result, two street numbers where the suffix is the only difference (e.g. 26A Vs
26B, 3 Vs 3 Bis) must be considered entirely different street numbers.

Calle Tetuán, 27 Bis Street Type Street Name, Street Number Suffix
41001 Sevilla Postal Code Locality

User Query Result Relevance Rating

[Calle Tetúan, 27 Bis Calle Tetúan, 27 Bad: 27 and 27 Bis are two different
41001 Sevilla] 41001 Sevilla street numbers. 27 could only satisfy
Madrid, España the user intent if 27 Bis did not exist.

[Calle del Roble, 2B] Calle del Roble, 2A Bad: 2B and 2A are two different street
48001 Bilbao numbers. 2A could only be considered
Vizcaya, España to satisfy the user intent if 2B did not
exist.

2.4. Unit/Apartment Numbers for Residential Address Queries

Some residential address queries might include a unit/apartment number. Even though for this
type of queries the result address might omit the unit/apartment, the result is still considered to
fully satisfy the user intent.

User Query Result Rating

[Calle Ruda, 3, 4ºA Calle Ruda, 3 Navigational: The unit number for this
28005 Madrid] 28005 Madrid residential address is included in the
España query. It is not expected that the unit
number is returned.
 2.5. Articles/Prepositions and Order of Words in POI Queries

As mentioned in a previous section, queries and results in Spain can be written in many different
ways by adding/removing prepositions and articles. These have cosmetic value and should not be
taken into consideration to determine whether a result satisfies the user intent.

The order of the words is often altered, but should not be a factor when assessing whether the
result satisfies the intent of the user. This is especially common for POIs that have a name
composed of several words.

User Query Result Relevance Rating

[Hortaleza Polideportivo Municipal de Navigational: Even though the

Polideportivo] Hortaleza suggestion has more articles and the
Carretera de la Estación de words have a different order, this result
Hortaleza, 11 clearly satisfies the user intent.
28033 Madrid
España
[amigos opera Amigos de la Ópera y de las Navigational: The user dropped every
y arte Artes de la Comunidad single preposition and article in the
comunidad Valenciana query, but the user intent is still clearly
valenciana] Plaça Major, 4 satisfied.
46200 Paiporta
Valencia, España

2.6. Sport Teams and Stadiums

Besides the official names of teams and stadiums, users may try to look for a team by typing the
name of their home stadium.

User Query Result Relevance Rating

[estadio real Estadio Santiago Bernabéu Navigational: Santiago Bernabéu is the

madrid] Avenida de Concha Espina, 1 stadium where Real Madrid FC plays.
28036 Madrid
España
[estadio Camp Nou Navigational: Camp Nou is the stadium
barça] Carrer d'Aristides Maillol, 12 where Barcelona FC (commonly known as
08028 Barcelona, España “Barça”) plays.
 2.7. Search for a Company’s Headquarters

Some queries might contain an indicator like “Ltd.” (Limited) to refer to a given brand. Assume
that the primary intent of these queries is the headquarters of the company. Among the most
common indicators for this in Spain are “SA” (Sociedad Anónima), “SL” (Sociedad Limitada).

User Query Result Relevance Rating

[Abercrombie Abercrombie & Fitch SL Excellent: The primary intent of this query is the
& Fitch Spain Spain Headquarters company’s headquarters.
SL] Calle de Velázquez, 51, 4º
28001 Madrid
España
[Abercrombie Abercrombie & Fitch Good/Acceptable: This result is a regular store
& Fitch Spain Plaza del Marqués de branch located in Madrid. It should be
SL] Salamanca, 5 considered secondary intent.
28006 Madrid
España

2.8. Special Characters: AC Rule

Spanish users often drop special characters and diacritics when they type. As a result, consider a
result matching the query even when the latter does not contain the special character that the
intended result has.

The Viewport for the following examples would cover the whole of Spain

User Query Result Rating

[cor] Córdoba, Spain Match: The correct spelling of the result has a diacritic, but
we’d still consider it a match.
[leo] León, Spain Match: The correct spelling of the result has a diacritic, but
we’d still consider it a match.

The opposite is not true: if a user inputs a query that contains a special character, results that
complete the query based on the special character are likely to be more relevant. Hence, any
possible results that do contain the special character present in the query should be considered
the likeliest match. The reasoning is that if a user actively made an effort to enter a special
character, the special character should be considered a strong signal of what the user intent is.

User Query Result Rating

[Calle Calle Tulipán Match: The result matches the query, including the
tulipán, mó] Móstoles, special character that the user entered.
Madrid, España
 [Calle Calle Tulipán, No match: The query entered contains a diacritic that
tulipán, mó] Moraleja de the result does not. Other results that match the query
Enmedio, (including the diacritic) exist and are likelier.
Madrid, España
[lé] León, España No match: The query entered contains a diacritic that
the result does not. Other results that match the query
(including the diacritic) exist and are likelier.

Nevertheless, the possibility of a typo should always be considered: if the query has a special
character and there are no possible/likely results that match it, results that ignore the query’s
diacritics should be considered a match through autocorrect.

User Query Result Rating

[Jáen] Jaén, España Match: The user placed the diacritical accent on the
wrong letter (typo).

2.9. Transit: AC Rule

While it is true that many users will search for transit POIs by using transit-related words like
“Estación” (Station) or “Metro” (Subway), many other users also search for these features by just
typing the name of the station without including any such terms.

Consider such transit stations as possible primary intent in Spain.

The following results are within fresh viewports:

User Query Result Rating

[Salou] Estación de Salou Match: We are returning the rail station that
Carrer de Carles Roig, s/n, matches the query.
Tarragona
[piramides] Estación de Pirámides Match: The “Pirámides” rail station in the city of
Madrid Madrid is returned. The station’s name matches
the query and is considered with the locality itself
primary intent.
[Abando] Metro Abando Match: The “Abando” subway station in the city
Bilbao of Bilbao is returned. The station’s name matches
the query and is considered with the locality itself
primary intent.

2.10. Distances in Spain

Urban areas in Spain are very dense and users in this market are expected to travel less for
distances than in other countries, such as the United States.

Outside of urban areas, distances that users in Spain are willing to drive are greater, but are still
significantly shorter than what users in other markets like North America might be used to.

Remember that the best, closest suggestion should not be demoted for being far away. In order to
demote a given result for distance, a closer matching result must exist.

3. Name Accuracy
3.1. Spelling Mistakes / Capitalization Errors

As per the Global Guidelines document, minor spelling mistakes should be marked as Partially
Correct. A lack of a mandatory diacritical accent in Spanish should be considered a minor
spelling mistake.

Unexpected use of lower/upper case should also be considered a minor name error. Note,
however, that in Spanish language capitalizing the first letter of all the important elements
(nouns and adjectives) of a name is common practice; no demotion should be applied for that
matter.

28033 Madrid 28033 Madrid

 3.2. Holding Names and Owner Names

Sometimes results are shown under their legal or owner name instead of the commercial name.
Such names are rated Partially Correct or Incorrect depending on how recognizable the name
is in context with the particular business. In order for a name to be considered Partially Correct,
it needs to be recognizable to users.

Result Name Commercial Name Explanation & Rating

Carburantes Gesa Repsol Name Accuracy: Incorrect.

S.L. Calle de Alberto The result name is the name used by the
Calle de Alberto Aguilera, 18 owner to register the gas station but not its
Aguilera, 18 28015 Madrid commercial name or a name recognized by
28015 Madrid España users.
España
Repsol Rivaser S.L. Repsol Name Accuracy: Partially Correct

28043 Madrid 28043 Madrid station and the name used by the owner to
España España register the gas station that can be verified in
company’s website

3.3. Tobacco-selling Stores and Pharmacies

In Spain tobacco can be bought in a state-monopoly store called Estanco. When it comes to
determining the accuracy of the result name, the words “Tabaco” or “Estanco” should be present
in the result name. The expendeduría (store number) code is always optional, but if present in the
result name it must be correct.

When it comes to determining the accuracy of the result name of a Pharmacy, the word
“Farmacia” must be part of the result name.

As per Global Guidelines, adding a location modifier to the business name (such as the road,
neighborhood, or larger POI where the store is located) can be considered Correct.

Any other information added to the name (e.g. the name of the owner) should be considered
Incorrect, if it is not present on the storefront.

Result Name Official Name Explanation & Rating

Tabacos Exp. Nº 14 Tabacos Exp. Nº 14 Name Accuracy: Correct. The name of the

4.2. POI/Business

As in most Western European countries, a significant number of businesses keep an active online
presence. Official websites and claimed social media pages should be considered as the most
trustable sources to determine whether a business is in operation or not.

All addresses of POIs must follow the standard address format introduced in section 4.1.

format. The correct address
can be found by searching

4.3. Building with s/n in the Address

Some addresses might contain no numbering information at all. This tends to happen when
no other buildings have their address on that same road. The address component "s/n" ("Sin
Número", Unnumbered) is then used. s/n should be treated as the street number:

08039 Barcelona 08039 Barcelona is wrong.

4.4. Street Number with a Suffix

Street Numbers might sometimes come with a suffix.

Suffixes are an integral part of the street number as they help differentiate a given street number
from a different one. As a result, two street numbers where the suffix is the only difference (e.g.
26A Vs 26B ; 3 Vs 3 Bis) must be considered entirely different street numbers

48001 Bilbao 48001 Bilbao
Vizcaya, España Vizcaya, España

4.5. Minor Mistakes in Addresses

As explained further above, the Spanish language makes use of articles (el, la, los, las) and
prepositions (de/del, a, etc.) to link words within a name (e.g. Calle de los Heros). These articles
and prepositions have a purely cosmetic value.

If the number of articles/prepositions in the result address is different to the address shown on an
official site and/or street imagery, mark it as Incorrect - Street Name only if the difference
would be grammatically inaccurate (e.g. repeating a preposition twice or using a masculine
article for a feminine noun), such as repeating an article twice:

 Street Sign

Calle Santa María, Calle de Santa María, Correct: Even though on some official

mistake.

Calle de de Santa Calle de Santa María, Incorrect - Other: The preposition “de” is
María, 28014 Madrid 28014 Madrid repeated twice. This is obviously a mistake
España España and would be noticed by a user.

Addresses in Spain contain a comma between the name of the road and the street number. If the
comma is missing, it should be rated Correct with formatting issues.

4.6. Unnamed Roads

In some instances (mostly rural areas) roads can be unnamed. For addressing purposes in such
cases the sub-locality/neighborhood is used together with the building number, i.e. the sub-
locality is treated as a street. Any issues with the sub-locality when it acts as a street in the
address should be marked as Incorrect => Street Name.

39715 Navajeda 39715 Navajeda address of this POI. Since the one
Cantabria, España Cantabria, España returned in the result is wrong, this should
be marked Incorrect - Street Name.

4.7. Provinces and Regions

For any addresses within Spain, the province is a mandatory component. It is expected that the
province will be included in full. Abbreviations are not used for provinces in Spain.

Most provinces take the name after their capital city (i.e. the city and the province will be
homonymous). For postal addresses within those cities, the province name should not be
repeated. If it were repeated, it should be rated as Incorrect – Other as per section Address
Accuracy: Components & Issues_Other Issue of the Global Guidelines document.

The region (Autonomous Communities) is not part of the postal address in Spain. If it were to
appear within an address it should be considered a formatting issue and should be rated Correct
with formatting issues.

4.8. Addresses at Milestones

Some buildings are located at milestones (kilometer stones) on a road and do not have street
numbers. The milestones are the equivalent of the street number.

7. Address Research
Confirming addresses is not always an easy task in Spain. The following resources should be use
to verify the validity of a road or an address:

• The Correos (Spanish Postal Services) official site can be used to verify the existence of
a road. This resource cannot be used to confirm that a road does not exist, as some roads
are missing on the Correos site. The Correos site does not provide information about the
existence of addresses.
• Web search and online maps can also be helpful cues. Business sites can also help
validate the existence of an address if the business indicates it’s located there.
• Similarly to Correos, the Cadaster can be used to validate that a road does exist, but
cannot be used to discard its existence. Important: contrary to the Correos site, the
Cadaster does provide information about addresses, but it contains many mistakes. Only
use this resource as a cue; if any other resources (especially street imagery) return
conflicting information, it cannot be assumed that the cadaster is the one that has the
correct information.
• Some cities and regions have Street/Address Indexes (Callejeros) on their official site.
The quality of these varies from municipality to municipality. Use these resources with
caution.
8. Language Expectation
Aside from Castilian Spanish, several other languages are spoken in Spain: Catalan/Valencian,
Galician, Basque, and other non-official regional languages/dialects.
8.1. Result Name is in Unexpected Language or Script

POI names in regional languages

POI names in the es_ES scrape might be returned in any language that is official/recognized at
the location where the POI is located. This follows the Global Guidelines, as using a local
language for a POI name is considered correct.

User Query Result Explanation & Rating

[Barcelona Estació de Sants The POI name in the suggestion appears in

sants] Plaça dels Països Catalan. As Catalan is one of the official
Catalans, 1- 7 languages in Barcelona, returning the POI name
08014 Barcelona in Catalan is fine.
España
[Aeropuerto Aeropuerto de The POI name in the suggestion appears in
Barcelona] Barcelona – El Prat Spanish. As Spanish is one of the official
08820 El Prat de languages in the area where the POI is located,
Llobregat, Barcelona returning the POI name in Spanish is fine.
España

8.2. Address is in Unexpected Language or Script

If the suggestion is a road/address or a territory name (locality, sub-locality, etc), it must use the
official form of it. If any names appear in Spanish when only the version in the regional language
is official, the address accuracy of results using the Spanish names should be considered
Incorrect. Even though the language is not unexpected (Spanish is official everywhere in
Spain), address components that appear in an unofficial form should be marked Address
Accuracy - Incorrect - Language/Script Issue.

The resources below are valid sources that can be used to determine if a name is official. When
trying to determine if a road or territory name that appears in Spanish is official or not, finding
the Spanish version of the name in any one of the resources below is enough to consider that the
name is official:

• Language per region use to verify the official language of the street (See Appendix)
• Maps or Street Directories available on a City’s Official Site or Map
• Official signage that can be seen in pictures or street imagery
 • Spanish Postal Services* (correos.es)
• Cadaster*
• National Institute of Statistics (INE)

*Note: The Spanish Postal Services and Cadaster sites translate the street type (“Calle”,
“Avenida”, etc) within road names into Spanish. These two sites can be used to verify the rest of
the name, but should not be used as a resource to verify the official language of the street type.

The place names below are an exception; given their prominence they can appear either localized
in Spanish or in the regional language, regardless of their official form:
• Spanish Region Names: (e.g. Islas Baleares, Cataluña)
• Spanish Province Names: (e.g. Lérida, Gerona, La Coruña, Orense, Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa)
• The Capital Cities of any of the 50 Provinces and of the Islands (e.g. Lérida, Gerona, La
Coruña, Orense, Palma de Mallorca, Mahón, Ibiza, Valencia)

In many instances, a territory or a road might have an officially bilingual name (Spanish +
regional language). In that case, for test locale es_ES, the road name in a result must be in
Spanish. If the address/territory appears in a regional language when an official Spanish version
of the name exists, it should also be marked Address Accuracy - Incorrect - Language/Script
Issue.
