Explanation
The triple mirrors the demonstratives: aquí/este, ahí/ese, allí/aquel. Acá and allá are looser and dominant in much of Latin America: vení acá, allá lejos.
Others: cerca, lejos, arriba, abajo, adentro/dentro, afuera/fuera, adelante, atrás, enfrente. With motion verbs, the a- forms are preferred: vamos adentro.
Examples
