Calle de Ibiza

Ibiza belongs to the family of Balearic names the City Council spread across the eastern flank of the expansion in the second half of the 19th century, in the company of Mallorca, Menorca, Formentera and Cabrera. The Castro Plan favoured these thematic series, which ordered the grid of blocks by grouping streets under a single motif. By 1889 it already appeared as a recently opened street, and it was recalled that the island had been taken from the Moors in 1234 by James I. It runs east to west, from the avenida de Menéndez Pelayo to the calle del Doctor Esquerdo. At number 35 lived the poet Leopoldo Panero, and there in 1948 his son Leopoldo María Panero was born; on the same street the Count of Foxá, Agustín de Foxá, died in 1959. And at number 36 the tenor Plácido Domingo came into the world in 1941, which a plaque now recalls to anyone passing by. The Ibiza Market opened its doors in 1954. The metro station of the same name, on Line 9, arrived later, in 1986.
