What is the history of Rios Rosas?
Rios Rosas came together as Madrid, Spain, built out across fresh ground. The barrio belongs to the district of Chamberí and takes its name from Antonio de los Ríos Rosas, a politician of the 19th century, while streets of housing and workshops filled it as the city expanded over successive generations of growth. Its documented past runs short.
