Ángel Ganivet Street, located between Puerta Real and Plaza de Mariana Pineda, has its origins in the post-war years, when it was decided to transform the Manigua neighborhood, which had a poor reputation. This street was inaugurated in 1943. Ángel Ganivet García de Lara, born in Granada in 1865, lived a life full of contrasts. Despite his notable academic achievements, including a doctorate in Madrid, Ganivet struggled with deep existencial anguish and spiritual uncertainty, which led to suicide attempts and ultimately his tragic death in Riga, Latvia, in 1898. Ganivet is considered a symbolic precursor of the Generation of ’98, as in his “Idearium Español” he portrayed Spain as a Sorrowful Virgin in an era marked by the skeptical and positivist culture of the 19th century. Despite his brilliant career in the consular corps, Ganivet’s life was marked by a tragic personal history.
