Gilberto-Bosques-Promenade

Gilberto Bosques was a Mexican diplomat. As a general consul in Paris and Marseille, he saved the lives of many Austrian women and Austrians fleeing from the National Socialists by issuing visas. Mexico was the only country that had not recognized the "Anschluss" of Austria by Hitler-Germany. Bosques also made two castles in France available for refugees, which were considered Mexican territory. The naming of the promenade after Gilberto Bosques was decided by a resolution of the municipal council committee for culture on October 8, 2002. A year later, an explanatory plaque was also installed.
