Paseo de Eduardo Dato, Madrid, street in Madrid, Spain
The Paseo de Eduardo Dato is a street in Madrid's Almagro neighborhood lined with tall buildings and wide sidewalks, shaded by trees. It connects Plaza Chamberí to Calle Serrano and crosses several intersections while passing through a quiet, orderly residential area.
The street was originally called Paseo del Cisne, named after a marble swan fountain that stood in a nearby convent before it was demolished. In the mid-1800s, it lay outside the city walls and formed part of the Huerta de España, a luxurious private estate where a wealthy banker built grand mansions and gardens between the 1870s and 1880s.
The street runs through the Almagro neighborhood and reflects a quiet residential area with elegant late 19th-century buildings. Today it serves as a place where residents take walks, rest on benches, and watch daily life unfold, while small cafes and shops add a sense of community to the area.
The street is easily accessible and served by several bus routes, making it straightforward for visitors and residents to reach. Wide sidewalks provide ample space for walking, and its proximity to other major streets like Paseo de la Castellana allows easy orientation.
The artist and sculptor Agustín Querol once lived in a house near the church of San Fermín along this street. It was also the final home of Francisco Arderíus, a renowned Madrid actor and musician, who died there in 1886.
