The atmosphere

A quieter, more local feel than the streets around the Mezquita. Look for the tiled street names and the doorways that open onto flowered patios.

Who it suits

Visitors who want to be close to the sights but sleep in a calmer area, and anyone interested in the patios, especially in spring.
