Hi, we are Lucia and Adriana and we are going to talk about La Calle del Pé.

00:00:06,089 --> 00:00:06,650
History

3
00:00:06,650 --> 00:00:11,310
Many members of the high bourgeoisie and nobility lived in this area.

4
00:00:11,789 --> 00:00:17,649
So you can see ancient buildings such as Bauer's Palace, where the most beautiful girl in the neighborhood rests.

5
00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:22,690
This is Julia, the student, bronze tenant of Calle del Pé since 2003.

6
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:30,690
Not for nothing this area was years ago University Land, with the central University of Madrid on San Bernardo Street.

7
00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:37,689
We also have the Palace of Bornos, or the Palace of the Duke of Bahena, which have been renovated as houses.

8
00:00:37,689 --> 00:00:45,689
The aforementioned combat of San Plácido contains a strange story about nuns possessed according to official theories,

9
00:00:45,689 --> 00:00:52,689
and a drug according to unofficial theories, and today inexplicably has business on their basis.

10
00:00:53,689 --> 00:00:54,689
Celebrations

11
00:00:54,689 --> 00:00:59,689
During the 9th, 10th and 11th of June, the San Antonio Festival is celebrated in this street.

12
00:00:59,689 --> 00:01:03,689
It is a self-organized celebration that has taken place for four years.

13
00:01:03,689 --> 00:01:10,689
It offers activities such as batucadas, workshops, dances, poetic tributes, popular games or even a potato omelette contest.

14
00:01:12,689 --> 00:01:13,689
Location

15
00:01:13,689 --> 00:01:19,689
La Calle del Pez is a road in the center of Madrid, Spain, in the University District,

16
00:01:19,689 --> 00:01:23,689
destined from the Baja de San Pablo slide to San Bernardo Street.

17
00:01:23,689 --> 00:01:31,689
Its total length is of 400 meters and its numbering goes from 1 to 2 and from 33 to 40.

18
00:01:31,689 --> 00:01:37,599
Assumption of the street's name

19
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:42,599
In the 18th century, lived in Madrid a priest named Diego Enrique,

20
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:47,560
who had a large expanse of land, with his house, gardens and fountains.

21
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,840
One day, the godmother of the priest, named Juana de Mendoza, was walking through the

22
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,840
gardens.

23
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,719
The misfortune wanted Enrique's servants to find Juana dead and her body lying in the

24
00:01:57,719 --> 00:01:58,719
fountain.

25
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:04,599
Philip II later arrived in Madrid, where he settled as a monarch.

26
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:09,819
This coincided with the prized initiative to split his estate in two, one of which was

27
00:02:09,819 --> 00:02:16,860
the hands of Philip II and the other was acquired by Juan Coronel. In Coronel's part was a lake full

28
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:24,300
of fish of all colors with which Juan's daughter played. The problem came when the masons who were

29
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:30,780
building Juan's house took water from the pond so it didn't take long for it to get dirty. Before

30
00:02:30,780 --> 00:02:37,020
this the fish were dying and there was only one left which Juan's daughter cared for with all her

31
00:02:37,020 --> 00:02:42,979
affection. After the work was finished, Juan's daughter and father cleaned the pond to get

32
00:02:42,979 --> 00:02:48,900
the fish inside, but misfortune wanted the fish to die. Years later, the father engraved

33
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:54,379
a stone fish at the entrance of the house, with an inscription that read, House of the

34
00:02:54,379 --> 00:03:00,699
Fish. This symbol was, later, respected in the later buildings and the street was renamed

35
00:03:00,699 --> 00:03:03,520
Fish Street in honor of such an event.
