Usage Note
Acera is the standard Peninsular Spanish term for the raised footpath beside a road; in much of Latin America banqueta or vereda is preferred instead. The phrase de la acera de enfrente is a euphemistic idiom meaning someone is gay.
Examples
"Camina por la acera, no por la calle."
Natural Translation
Walk on the pavement, not on the road.
