Calle del Párroco Eusebio Cuenca

The church near this stretch of Delicias was built between 1945 and 1952. Little documentary record survives of Cuenca’s life, beyond the neighborhood’s memory and the handful of streets the district dedicated to its priests. The church is under the patronage of Beata María Ana de Jesús, a Mercedarian tertiary and co-patron of Madrid alongside Saint Isidore the Farmer, who died in 1624. The street runs straight over the old rail yard of the former Delicias station —⁠now the Railway Museum⁠— among cypresses and tracks that no longer lead to any train.
