Design
Larios Street was the first large-scale urban project in Malaga. It occupies a total of 12 blocks that make up streets with houses that are practically identical in size: they have the same width, a ground floor, three floors and the attic, as well as their balconies on the second floor. The buildings are perfectly symmetrical, and have a curved design in the corners, which were designed by the genius Eduardo Strachan inspired by the architectural trends of Chicago. On the other hand, wide streets with curved corners allowed the entry of the breeze from the port to clean the city air at a time when sanitation was somewhat deficient.
