Calle General Gutiérrez Mellado

The Calle General Gutiérrez Mellado is a pedestrian street in the Spanish city of Pontevedra, located in the first urban expansion zone.

Since 1996, the street has been dedicated to the military officer and politician Manuel Gutiérrez Mellado for his important work during Spanish transition to democracy and with the aim of removing Francoist names from the city's street map, such as his former name, General Mola.

[3][14] In the same year, the sewage system was installed and the water supply connected to facilitate the construction of the buildings, which had not yet begun.

During these decades, the street became a commercial area with well-known establishments such as the Vázquez Lescaille record and appliance shop, which opened in 1956.

[19][20] This is a 140-metre-long pedestrian street, straight and flat, located in the heart of the city centre, linking the Palm Trees Park to the old town.

The ochre-coloured paving is framed by strips of granite on the sides to differentiate between areas reserved for pedestrians and the central pedestrianised lane reserved for vehicles needed to serve the area and access local residents' garages.
