ES: "El 27 de agosto de 1891 se inaugura la calle Larios, proyecto realizado por el ingeniero José María Sancha y modificado más tarde junto a Manuel Rivera.
Para su construcción el Ayuntamiento promovió una sociedad anónima con un capital de un millón de pesetas de la época -6.000 euros-, siendo la mayoría de las acciones adquiridas por la familia Larios.
El valor arquitectónico y urbano de este espacio de la ciudad es indudable como conjunto armónico y consolidado, destacando sus edificios, proyectados por Eduardo Strachan y Viana-Cárdenas.
Desde sus orígenes la calle Larios ha tenido un uso mixto, de tráfico rodado y peatones, hasta su remodelación en 2003 cuando pasó a ser peatonal. Además de ser una importante calle comercial, entre las primeras de España, junto con la Plaza Constitución forma un espacio urbano protagonista de importantes acontecimientos de la ciudad."
EN: "Calle Larios was opened officially to the public on 27 August 1891 and was designed by engineer José María Sancha and later modified by Manuel Rivera.
To build it, the City founded a corporation with capital of one million pesetas –6000 euros in today's money– and the Larios family acquired most of the shares.
The architectural and urban value of this area of ??the city as a harmonious and consolidated whole is undeniable, especially its buildings that were designed by Eduardo Strachan and Viana-Cárdenas.
From its origins, Calle Larios was open both to vehicle and pedestrian use until its renovation in 2003, when it became a pedestrian precinct.
Besides being a major shopping street, one of the most important in Spain, together with Plaza Constitución, it is an urban space where the city's most important events are held."
