Paseo de Juan Antonio Vallejo-Nájera Botas

The dedication changed without changing the surname. The Paseo del Doctor Vallejo-Nájera honored Antonio Vallejo-Nájera Lobón, the psychiatrist who ran the psychiatric services of the rebel army during the Civil War. In 2017, under the Historical Memory Law, the city council kept the surname but moved the dedication to his son, Juan Antonio Vallejo-Nájera Botas. The new honoree (Oviedo, 1926 - Madrid, 1990) was one of the most widely read psychiatrists of his time. In 1985 he won the Premio Planeta with the novel Yo, el rey, about Joseph Bonaparte, and published widely read essays such as Locos egregios. The promenade keeps another memory beneath the asphalt. Until the 1990s the tracks of the old Pasillo de Unión Ferroviaria ran through here. When the tracks went underground, the street and its buildings rose above them, and the commuter train still passes right below, between the Glorieta de Santa María de la Cabeza and the Plaza de Francisco Morano.
