1. The Alley of the Romance Marker
El Callejón del Romance fue bautizado así en el año de 1965, ya que a lo largo de esta callejuela los visitantes pueden leer los versos del poema "Romance de mi ciudad", del autor Lucas Ortiz.
La configuración del callejón data del siglo XIX y fue conocido inicialmente como "Callejón de la Bolsa" y posteriormente como "Callejón del Socialismo". En sus orígenes en el callejón se instaló una fábrica de jabón y las casas cercanas eran habitadas por sus trabajadores.
Las Intervenciones contemporáneas, han promovido la instalación de tres fuentes en cantería y jardineras adosadas a los paramentos de las fachadas, para hacer más atractivo el lugar.
