The Madrid street named after senior fascist General Andres Saliquet is to be named Calle de Soledad Cazorla, according to City Lab. Ms Cazorla was the first Spanish prosecutor to specialise in work against gender violence.
In Leon, citizens voted in November for a number of renowned women to name streets after, including Rosa Parks, Frida Kahlo, Jane Austen and local inventor Angela Ruiz Robles.
The municipalities of Valencia, Oviedo and Cadiz also recently approved the changes.
