Usage Note
Localmente modifies a verb or adjective to indicate something occurring in a specific, limited place rather than broadly. It contrasts with regionalmente (regionally) or a nivel nacional (nationally). In medical and scientific writing it can mean 'topically' or 'at the site', e.g. aplicar localmente (to apply locally/topically).
Examples
"El producto se vende localmente en mercados pequeños."
