The first project for the opening of Marqués de Larios street was by the engineer José María de Sancha. Which traced the street from the Plaza de la Constitución. But it ran through the streets Toril, Salinas, Desengaño, Plaza del Obispo, Sancha de Lara and San Juan de Dios.

The street inaugurated on August 27, 1891, with Mayor Sebastián Souvirón Torres. No member of the Larios family attended the inauguration.
