It passes the Technological Institute of the Philippines campus in Quiapo and enters San Miguel after crossing the Estero de San Miguel. It intersects with General Solano Street and Carlos Palanca Sr. Street, which provides access to the Malacañang Palace complex and the commercial area of Quiapo, respectively, before reaching the Ayala Bridge.

Ayala Boulevard

Between the Ayala Bridge and Taft Avenue in Ermita, C-1 is known as Ayala Boulevard. It runs through the Concepcion and Arroceros Streets, passing the Philippine Normal University and the Technological University of the Philippines campuses before intersecting with Taft Avenue to become Finance Road.
