Spanish has two contractions: al and del. They are both combinations of the prepositions a or de + the article el. El is the only form of the article that contracts with a or de. The contractions are not used if the article el is part of a proper noun.

No vamos al cine los lunes por la noche. We do not go to the movies on Monday nights. Este es el juguete del iiino.    This is the chihFs toy.

Notice the absence of the contraction in the next example; the article is part of the noun.

Le escribieron de El Pardo, una    They wrote to him/ to herfrom El Par do,

población cerca de Madrid.    a community near Madrid.
