Colonia de la Prensa

MonumentLocal favourite

A garden-city of modernista chalets built in 1913-1916 by Felipe Mario López Blanco for the journalists' association 'Los Cincuenta'. Its gate, with two modernista turrets that were also a tram stop and telephone booth, is one of Carabanchel's surprises.
