Calle de Enrique Trompeta
Remembers Enrique Trompeta, a Madrid journalist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who wrote about the life of the working classes.
Trompeta signed pieces on the employment and unemployment of the city’s laborers. Only fragments of his biography survive, and the ultimate reason his name reached the map is undocumented, a common gap among the minor streets of Arganzuela.
The street is short, barely a hundred and fifty meters, and runs through the La Chopera neighborhood, near the plaza de Legazpi, the paseo de la Chopera and the old Matadero, in a district the southern expansion built to house workers.
