Like the Calle de las Flores, this street is a good example of Andalusian urban planning, in which narrow alleys without exits, called adarves or azucaques, were common, giving access to the houses. In this one, the alley narrows dramatically after a more regular first section, reaching a width of only 76 cm. This is where the name comes from, as it is said that it was as wide as a handkerchief. The alley leads to a tiny square, always cool and shady thanks to the orange trees that have grown vertically in search of light and where only the tinkling of the fountain interrupts the feeling of isolation, the gentle murmur of the water and the scent of orange blossom envelop the visitor.
