Question
I have an address in Brazil but am not sure what city it is. The address isAV. HORECIO LAFER, 1034 - VI QUITAUNA - OSASCO-SP, CODE 06112-010
Hi, John.
starting at the end of the address given.....
The CEP (Zip code/postal code) is 06112-010
SP signifies Sao Paulo state.
Osasco is a city that is really part of the continuous sprawl of greater Sao Paulo city (often referred to as 'Grande Sao Paulo' or 'Sao Paulo capital' to distinguish it from the state), and is located slightly to the northwest of the center of S.P. city.
Quitauna (pronounced key-tah-ooo-nah) is the name of the 'bairro' (neighborhood).
The building is located at number 1034 Avenida Horecio Lafer.
(avenida=avenue)
If you access the Google maps site, you can put in this address and see where it is in relation to Sao Paulo city (and even Guarulhos international airport there, if you are planning to travel).

Drawing on my personal travel experience in Brazil (more than a decade's worth), as well as time spent living in Brazil (especially Salvador, Bahia) and knowledge of the Brazilian community in the U.S., I can help with most questions concerning travel, specific destinations, paperwork for moving, marriage or business, and more. I enjoy helping people get the most from their stay in Brazil. I'd be happy to hear from you.
