Supermanzana or Colonia ?

What's the difference between a Supermanzana and a Colonia?

I note the receipts from La Comer say "Supermanzana VIII" and no mention of a Colonia, while receipts from Merza say "Centro Zihuatanejo".
Just wondering.

The colonia is the neighbourhood...like centro, or La Ropa, or La Madera. Supermanzana refers to the street address. My address for Res. Los Mangos is Lote 4, Manzana 2 or Manz 2, Supermanzana 0 or SM0 then Col. La Ropa, Zihuatanejo...etc.
