(The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates)

Halfway between the Glorieta de Bilbao and Plaza de Chamberí is a place with no name, but for many decades the locals have known it as the Plaza de Los Chisperos. The name is related to the monument erected in the Plaza and is a tribute to the Spanish "Saineteros" (farcical playwrights).

The word "Chispero" (spark) may originate from before the fifteenth century, at which time various guilds were being established around Madrid. These guilds would later become occupations and professions. Many of the local streets are named after the guilds that formed in them, for example; Esparteros, Latoneros, Cuchilleros, etc.

The "Chisperos" were the blacksmiths and many settled in the Maravillas borough and were even mentioned by Fernandez de los Rios in his Guide to Madrid, when he cited the "chispero Juan Manuel Malasaña" as a defender of the city against the French. The Maravillas borough is where the guild of iron craftsmen is located.

The monument is the work of Lorenzo Coullaut Valera (1876 - 1932), a renowned architect, who has other major works in Madrid, including the monument to Cervantes in Plaza de Espana.

A medio camino entre la glorieta de Bilbao y la plaza de Chamberí, se halla una plaza sin nombre, aunque los vecinos la conocen, desde hace muchos decenios, como Plaza de Los Chisperos. La designación está relacionada con el monumento levantado en dicha plaza como homenaje a los Saineteros Españoles.

La palabra "Chispero" puede proceder de antes del siglo XV, un tiempo en el que varios gremios se están creando en Madrid. Estos gremios más tarde se convertirían en ocupaciones y profesiones. Muchas de las calles locales llevan el nombre de los gremios que se formaron, por ejemplo, Esparteros, Latoneros, Cuchilleros, etc

Los "Chisperos" fueron los herreros y muchos se asentaron en el Barrio Maravillas. Fueron mencionados por Fernández de los Ríos en su Guía de Madrid, cuando habla del "chispero Juan Manuel Malasaña" como un defensor de la ciudad contra los Franceses. El Barrio Maravillas es donde el gremio de artesanos del hierro se encuentra.

El monumento es obra de Lorenzo Coullaut Valera (1876 - 1932)., Un arquitecto de renombre, que tiene otras obras importantes en Madrid, como el monumento a Cervantes en La Plaza de España
