Braza
Braza :
A traditional unit of distance in Spain and Latin America. Like the brasse, the braza is comparable to the English fathom. In Spain it equals 2 varas, 8 palmos, or about 1.67 meters (5.48 feet or 65.75 inches). In Latin America the braza tends to be larger. The Argentine braza is 1.73 meters (5.68 feet or 68.16 inches), and under the Texas definition of the vara the braza would be 1.693 meters (5.556 feet or 66.67 inches). The Portuguese braça is similar, but it equals 10 palmos or about 2.20 meters (7.22 feet or 86.6 inches)
