A unit of measurement of length used in Spain and Spanish-speaking countries, approximately 1.67 meters.
From Spanish 'braza,' derived from Latin 'bracchia' meaning arms (plural of 'bracchium'). The measurement was originally the span of outstretched arms.
A braza literally means 'the span of your arms' — medieval merchants used their own bodies as measuring tools before standardized measurements existed!
