Usage Note

Vereda means a narrow footpath or trail in Spain and much of Latin America, but in countries such as Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru it is the everyday word for a sidewalk (what Spain calls acera). Be aware of this regional split — telling someone to walk by the vereda means very different things depending on country.
