Spanish term or phrase: Abastecedor El Dorado
It is used in mailing address in CostaRica. I have two occurencies of this term in incorporation documents. One followed by 'Del' and other by 'De'. Don't really know which one is correct from the grammar perspective of Spanish (please tell me). Also, what case should be used for words? I guess 'Del abastecedor El Dorado', but I am not sure so I need feedback on this also. Thanks.

Abastecedor El Dorado
Explanation:
It's a funny address like they often use in Central America, no street numbers, just a distance reference from another landmark which in this case is called "Abastecedor El Dorado" and remaions the same. Moreover, the original should be left in Spanish and the translation here put in ( ) because the original is the only address that is good.

El domicilio de la sociedad lo sera San Pedro de Montres de Oca, de Abastecedor El Dorado doscientos metros Norte

The corporation's address shall be San Pedro de Montres de Oca, two thundred meters north of Abastecedor El Dorado

San Pedro de Montres de Oca I think should be "MONTES" de Oca.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Can you give me feedback on the letter case for each word? I mean if it should be written 'De Abastrecedor el Dorado' or 'De abastrecedor el Dorado' or 'De abastrecedor El Dorado' or other rules apply. Also, should I use 'de' or 'del' or maybe 'de la' in front of this phrase? Have seen many variations in other addresses and don't really know which prefix is right according to Spanish.
