Calle Magdalena Díez
A pedestrian street in Valdeacederas added to the city registry in 1948 with the name of Magdalena Díez, a woman of whom no documentation remains.
Calle Magdalena Díez entered the street registry in 1948, when Valdeacederas was being built up north of Cuatro Caminos with parcels and low houses. The name commemorates a woman called Magdalena Díez, but no record remains of who she was: no trade, no dates, no reason why the council chose her name. All that is certain is the sign and the year.
In the Tetuán of those years it was common for streets to take the surname of the landowner whose plot was being divided, though here that link is undocumented. There is also another calle Magdalena Díez in Fuencarral-El Pardo, opened a decade later; they are different streets, and nothing proves they honour the same person.
Today it is a short pedestrian stretch, near Bravo Murillo. No plaque or tile explains the woman who gave it her name.
