For summer nights
We are right in the docklands areas, which in recent years has been enjoying renovation and regeneration. This area is the best way to spend summer nights if you are in the Valencian capital.
Doña Eugenia Vines was the niece of Eugenio Vines, a well-known businessman from Cabañal. They say that one day Doña Eugenia asked God to enlighten her as she had some property in her estate of which she did not know who to leave to. While she was praying, two sisters of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart Hospital of Jesus, female branch of the Order of St John of God came to her. One of these sisters insinuated that she could assist in the founding of an asylum. As confirmed by one of her granddaughters, Doña Eugenia saw this request as a sign of divine providence. The opening of this Asylum was to be a major event in Valencia. Beforehand, it was announced in the press, praising the figure of Doña Eugenia as a lady of inexhaustible charity. The inauguration takes place on the day of Carmen, July 15, 1919. This is the story of the woman who gives name to this long road parallel to the shore.
