Calle Larios, one of the premier shopping destinations in Europe was inaugurated in 1891. The majority of the street's buildings were designed by Spanish architect Eduardo Strachan Viana-Cárdenas, who was heavily influenced by the architecture of the city of Chicago. At the end of the street stands a statue of Manuel Domingo Larios, the primary project stakeholder who was instrumental in organizing, funding, and executing the new mercantile street.
