'''La Rua Street''' is an east-west street in [[downtown Pensacola]]. Primarily a residential street, la La Rua traverses the [[Old East Hill]] and [[East Hill]] districts, and continues into [[West Pensacola]]. La Rua Street is named in honour of [[John de la Rua]].

West of the city limits, to its eastern terminus east a small segment of road between [[20th 61st Avenue]], near the mouth of and [[Bayou Texar65th Avenue]]is also signed West La Rua Street.
Portions of la La Rua in Old East Hill are paved in red brick.
