España Boulevard (Spanish: Avenida España) is an eight–lane major thoroughfare in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. It is named after Spain, the country that formerly held the Philippines as a colony for 333 years (1565 until 1898). True to its name, several Spanish names abound on the street. It starts in the east at the Welcome Rotonda near the boundary of Quezon City and Manila and ends in the west with a Y-intersection with Lerma and Nicanor Reyes Streets in Manila.
