Avenida de Blasco Ibañez

Originally envisioned as a jardin street under the name of "camino-paseo hasta el mar" the project was approved by law on 1 August 1893.

The aim of the street was to link the Jardines del Real in the west to the Poblats Marítims in the east of the city.

Finished in 1895, a first design was made by Casimiro Meseguer who intended to make the street part of a green city plan he called "Ciudad Jardín".

[2] Although the Avenida was constructed differently than originally designed, Meseguer's ideas, however, remained popular throughout the 20th-century and were defended by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez.

[4] In 2014 Valencia mayor Rita Barberá announced that the Plan Especial de Protección y Reforma Interior (Pepri) del Cabanyal-Canyamelar would go on, including an expansion of the Avenida to the sea.
