Kings Car train me a gift of good. I bought it yesterday with the pension money that my grandmother shared by his grandchildren. Madrid streets of Pedro de repid , about the origin of the names of all parts of the center, gives an overview of the major events that happened on its sidewalks and includes quotes from ancient documents.
is a joy, and to prove it, here's a random example: Carranza street. It turns out that this road, which links the San Bernardo Bowers and Bilbao was one of the favorite places by the Inquisition. And, when homes in Madrid ended in the Puerta de San Bernardo and the rest were fields, there was the burning ground of infidels, "Brazier inquisitorial" as he calls the repid.
Over time, the city grew in the nineteenth century, someone wanted to remember the sinister past of this place gave him the name of Fray Bartolomé de Carranza , a victim of the court of Torquemada. Carranza was a Dominican who became a confessor of Philip II and Archbishop of Toledo. But fell from grace and the Inquisition, accused of heresy in his "comments on the Christian catechism." I was lucky and after a long process, was acquitted. But he died in Rome shortly after.
So, thanks to the book, I discovered that Carranza Street is actually a tribute to victims Inquisition. I know it's a little freak, but still is riding the other Kings best gift I have not said anything.
