The second half of the nineteenth century brought the beginning of the demolition of the walls of the city and the first plans for the widening of Alicante. Es en 1890 cuando el Ministerio de Fomento aprueba el Plan de Ensanche del arquitecto José Guardiola Picó que tras algunas modificaciones sería aprobado definitivamente en julio de 1892.
La caída de las murallas dejó un vasto terreno por el que expandir la ciudad y en el que construir zonas de esparcimiento para la población. El "Paseo" sería la avenida estrella de estos años. Se urbaniza la Calle de Luchana (hoy Avenidas Dr. Gadea y Federico Soto) que hasta el momento era un erial repleto de escombros; se convierte de bulevar la entonces Calle de Alfonso el Sabio, se ajardinan plazas y se aprueba la construcción de un paseo en el Postiguet que llevaría el nombre de su promotor, el alcalde Manuel Gómiz y Orts.
