Calle del Tambre
It takes its name from the Tambre, a Galician river in the province of A Coruña, part of the streets of El Viso named after peninsular rivers.
Calle del Tambre owes its name to a Galician river that runs through the province of A Coruña for some 125 kilometers. It rises at the Fonte das Areas, in the municipality of Sobrado, and flows southwest until it opens into the ría of Muros e Noia, facing the Atlantic.
The place name comes from far back. The Romans called the river Tamaris, and from that same root sprang the name of the Trastámara line, the dynasty to which Isabella the Catholic belonged.
The name did not arrive here by Galician chance. The El Viso colony, raised in the 1930s on the high ground at the end of Calle de Serrano, organized much of its layout with peninsular river names. A few steps away run Calle del Sil, Calle del Tormes, Calle del Turia, Calle del Nervión and Calle del Arga, a river atlas traced among Rationalist hotels with white façades.
