Calle Agustín Viñamata

The surname Viñamata is extremely rare in Spain, with only a few dozen bearers, and no public figure of that name is reliably tied to the street. The street is short, about 129 metres, in the Adelfas neighbourhood south of Retiro. It is one of the youngest, most residential corners of the area, built in the twentieth century far from the grand layout of its neighbours. The district’s own name points to the oleander, the pink-flowered shrub that grew here in abundance before the land was developed.
