A new tunnel that passes under the railway tracks that separates the neighborhoods of Coghlan and Villa Urquiza has been named after ‘El Flaco’ (‘The Skinny One’) Spinetta after local residents voted in favor of the artist ahead of Roberto Goyeneche and Horacio Guaraní in a survey conducted via Facebook and Twitter.
