Together with the river and with Oroño Boulevard, it also marks the unofficial limit of the downtown area.
The avenue has two wide lanes and a narrow central reservation, usually lined with small trees and bushes.
It starts near the shore of the Paraná River and climbs towards the downtown between grassy slopes formed by elevated level sidewalks.
It then becomes a highly commercial street, hosting a large number of fine restaurants, canteens, bars, pizza parlours and icecream shops.
Its intersection with Oroño Boulevard marks one of the corners of the Parque de la Independencia, which is the city's largest green area.
