Doubt with para and a
Hello. I've problems with these sentences:
Una carta para España. - The letter to Spain. El tren a Madrid. - The train to Madrid. My MX friend says that sound silly in Mexico. I'm confused, maybe that's correct in Spain Spanish, cos I'm learning castellano Spanish? |

I'm not exactly sure what your question is. In many cases, "a" and "para" can be used somewhat interchangeably.
Voy a la casa. Voy para la casa.

I agree with Tomísimo. In this case, "a" and "para" both imply a destination.
