The ordinary plenary session of the Calp Town Hall in February unanimously approved the dedication of two streets in Calp to two important women, Manuela Solís Clarás and Marie Curie. These are the first two streets dedicated to women proposed by the working group of the Department of Equality within the process of feminisation of the Calp street directory.
Manuela Solís Clarás was the first female doctor in Valencian medicine who stood out for her contribution to public health and women's rights. The street that runs parallel to the Pou Roig ravine, between Casanova and Felipe VI avenues, between the sides of the Parc de la Creativitat and the Calp tennis club, will be named after her.
The road that runs along the upper part of the CEIP Mediterrani, between Avenida de Masnou and the Manzanera section, which gives access to the Canuta sup section, will also be named Marie Curie, in recognition of her outstanding scientific work and her achievements in the field of physics and chemistry.
Furthermore, the Councillor for Equality, Itziar Doval, was pleased that the proposal had been approved with the support of all groups and, moreover, precisely on the day that the International Day of Women and Girls in Science was being celebrated.
