Calle de Ros de Olano
Honors Antonio Ros de Olano (1808-1886), a general and writer who split his life between the army and literature.
Antonio Ros de Olano rose to lieutenant general and returned from the African War with a marquis’s title, yet he shared his life with literature. At El Parnasillo, the literary gathering at the Café del Príncipe, he became close friends with Espronceda, who dedicated El diablo mundo to him.
As a storyteller he is counted among the first cultivators of the fantastic in Spain, with tales of dreamlike, grotesque tone. The Calle de Ros de Olano, short and quiet in Prosperidad, keeps the surname of a man who wielded sword and pen alike.
