Calle de Pinos Alta
Takes its name from the pines that gave character to this corner of the former Chamartín de la Rosa, within a neighborhood of streets named after plants and trees.
The name is born of the pines. This street and its twin Pinos Baja formed the heart of an old neighborhood of Chamartín de la Rosa known as Los Pinos, gathered around the church of the Divino Redentor. The distinction between alta and baja answered to the slope of the ground: one ran along the upper level, the other along the lower.
The neighborhood carried botany into the street map. Much of the streets of Valdeacederas bear the names of flowers, trees and shrubs, and Valdeacederas itself comes from the sorrels, the grass the cattle grazed when this land was open country north of Madrid. A garden on the street holds a recent memory: since 2018 it has borne the name of a labor lawyer murdered in 1977.
