The problem of Prepositional Phrase (PP) attachment disambiguation consists in determining if a PP is part of a noun phrase, as in He sees the room with books, or an argument of a verb, as in He fills the room with books.

In this paper we apply the latest variant of Volk's method to Spanish with several differences that allow us to attain a better performance close to that of statistical methods using treebanks.
