Calle de Vía Límite
Its name comes from the boundary line that the mid-twentieth-century urban plan drew at the edge of the Ventilla slum, at the far north of what was then the municipality of Chamartín de la Rosa.
The name describes an urban-planning function. Vía means road; límite, the line that closes a perimeter. Calle de Vía Límite got its name for marking the boundary line with which the mid-twentieth-century plan delimited the Ventilla slum, at the far north of the city.
The neighbourhood that holds it, Almenara, belonged until 1948 to the independent municipality of Chamartín de la Rosa. La Ventilla was then an outlying settlement, and this whole northern zone was for decades urban-edge land, where expansion kept gaining ground on the countryside. A street named as a boundary fits that landscape of a growing outskirt.
Today it runs through the Ventilla sector, beside the park of the same name and near Avenida de Sinesio Delgado, on a stretch that still orders the edge of the neighbourhood.
