Calle de Cochabamba
It takes its name from the Bolivian city of Cochabamba, whose Quechua toponym describes a plain of lagoons.
Cochabamba comes from the Quechua qucha pampa, “plain of lagoons,” an image of wet lands that earned the Bolivian region a reputation as a breadbasket. The street belongs to the Hispanoamérica neighborhood, developed in the twentieth century with the idea of turning the map of the Americas into a walk.
In Bolivia, Cochabamba is called the city of eternal spring, for a mild climate that barely changes through the year. From there also comes pique a lo macho, now served far from that plain of lagoons.
