Calle De Bravo Murillo
The calle de Bravo Murillo is a major street in Madrid, Spain. The streets starts in the glorieta de Quevedo, in the Chamberí District. Going North across the Tetuán District, it features a slightly bended path joining with the Paseo de la Castellana at the Plaza de Castilla. The street urbanised as slums were built along what it formerly was the Carretera de Francia ("Road of France"). In the context of the early 20th-century, the impoverished area became the epicentre of the "rebel and combative" Madrid despite its peripheral status and, during the 1917 general strike, seditious pamphlets were handed over in the street. In the 2010s, a huge number of betting shops controversially proliferated in the street, leading up to protests against gambling. The streetname (dating back to 1875) remembers Juan Bravo Murillo, a 19th-century politician who promoted the Canal de Isabel II, and the meeting of the street with José Abascal currently hosts a monument dedicated to him.

Street
A street is a public thoroughfare in a built environment. It is a public parcel of land adjoining buildings in an urban context, on which people may freely assemble, interact, and move about. A street can be as simple as a level patch of dirt, but is more often paved with a hard, durable surface such as tarmac, concrete, cobblestone or brick. Portions may also be smoothed with asphalt, embedded with rails, or otherwise prepared to accommodate non-pedestrian traffic. Originally, the word ''street'' simply meant a paved road ( la, via strata). The word ''street'' is still sometimes used informally as a synonym for ''road'', for example in connection with the ancient Watling Street, but city residents and urban planners draw a crucial modern distinction: a road's main function is transportation, while streets facilitate public interaction.
