Random Address in Spain

Pick a number from 1 to 15 and press Generate Address. You get that many random Spanish addresses, one per card, each with a street line, a town, an autonomous community, a five-digit postal code and the word Spain, plus a copy button. The regions are Spain's real 17 comunidades autónomas and the postal codes have the right five-digit shape; the street and town are generated, so no result points at a real building.

What a generated Spanish address looks like

A typical line from the tool:

9107 Casillas Entrada, East Orange, Andalucía 05744, Spain

Taking it apart:

• Street line – a number followed by a Spanish surname or first name (Casillas, Cabán, Reina, Claudia) and a Spanish property or street word such as Entrada, Terrenos, Edificio, Parcela, Aldea or Apartamento. The number comes first, English-style; real Spanish addresses put it after the street, as explained below.
• Town – either a real Spanish town (Parla, Telde, Baracaldo, Getafe) or a made-up one built from a name and a suffix, like Jacoboport or Velázquezchester. Now and then the generator substitutes an American city name such as Fort Worth. If the town matters, generate a few extra and keep the ones that look right.
• Autonomous community – one of the real 17: Andalucía, Aragón, Asturias, Baleares, Canarias, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, Extremadura, Galicia, La Rioja, Madrid, Murcia, Navarra and País Vasco.
• Postal code – five random digits. The format is correct, but the first two digits are not matched to the community on the same line.

When you'd want one

• Testing Spanish-language forms. Accented characters (País Vasco, Aragón, Cabán) are a quick check that your form, database and email templates handle UTF-8 properly.
• Postal-code validation. Spanish checkouts expect exactly five digits, usually 01000–52999. These pass the format check and fail a real lookup, which is what you want for testing both paths.
• Placeholder profiles and demos. A CRM screenshot with a Galicia address and a 15xxx postal code looks like it was built for the Spanish market.
• Sign-ups that demand an address. A generated one fills the field and gives nothing away.
• Fiction set in Spain. Use the region and postal code as a starting point and rewrite the street line by hand in the proper Spanish order.

How a real address in Spain is written

Spanish addresses go from the street type to the number, then floor and door, then postal code and town, then the province if it differs from the town:

Calle de Alcalá, 45, 3.º B
28014 Madrid
España

The street type comes first and is usually abbreviated: C/ (Calle), Av. or Avda. (Avenida), Pl. or Pza. (Plaza), P.º (Paseo), Ctra. (Carretera), Cmno. (Camino). The building number follows the street name after a comma, and 3.º B means third floor, door B. Some addresses add s/n (sin número) where a building has no number, or Esc. for the stairwell in large blocks.

Spanish postal codes

Codes have five digits. The first two identify the province, numbered in alphabetical order: 01 Álava, 08 Barcelona, 28 Madrid, 41 Sevilla, 46 Valencia, 48 Vizcaya, through 50 Zaragoza, with 51 for Ceuta and 52 for Melilla. The remaining three digits narrow to a district or town; provincial capitals use 001–080 and larger numbers go to the rest of the province. A random address in Madrid, for example, would have a code from 28001 to 28080 inside the city and 28100 upward outside it. The generator doesn't apply this rule, so if you need codes that match the region, pick the first two digits yourself from the list above.
