<\/p>\n

Even Granada\u2019s street names feel Lorca-esque. Walking this city, crowned by the Alhambra, becomes a solemn act when you consider how many cultures shaped its intense beauty. The feeling grows stronger when you remember the artists who once made it their muse. Suddenly, you look up and find street names that sound more like a flamenco lyric or a poem penned from a lookout than like an ordinary avenue. Strolling this city feels dreamlike. Here are a few examples.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Calle Duende<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Duende<\/em> names the gift some people have to pour soul into flamenco\u2014dance, singing, clapping, or guitar. Flamenco lives vividly in the Sacromonte and Albaic\u00edn, yet this street sits in the very center of Granada, around Puerta Real.<\/p>\n

Calle Beso<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n
\n \"Lorca-like

\n Author: Bea en las nubes<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

There are many kinds of kisses. As you wander this Albaic\u00edn lane near Plaza Nueva, it\u2019s easy to imagine romantic scenes from a 19th-century novel. The legend behind the name tells of a mother who kissed her daughter farewell after she died in her sleep days before her wedding. The kiss brought her back to life. Some say it was catalepsy, but neighbors chose the mother\u2019s love as the miracle.<\/p>\n

Calle Milagro<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For many, simply walking Granada is a miracle\u2014its beauty dazzles and overwhelms. There\u2019s no certain origin for this Puerta Real street\u2019s name, but the word itself reads like poetry.<\/p>\n

Calle Yerma<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n \"Granada\u2019s\n<\/p>\n

Yerma<\/em> is one of Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca\u2019s most famous plays, a searing rural tragedy\u2014like Bodas de Sangre<\/em> and La Casa de Bernarda Alba<\/em>\u2014where women struggle to have a voice. Yerma<\/em> explores sterility and fertility. You\u2019ll find this street in the Zaid\u00edn district on Granada\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n

Calle Ni\u00f1os Luchando<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n
\n \"Lorca-like
\n <\/a>
\n Author: Bea en las nubes<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

This name stands out for originality more than poetry. The street lies in central Granada near Calle San Jer\u00f3nimo. An essay by Julio Belza and Ruiz de la Fuente recounts a possible origin: centuries ago two children playing in a house here knocked down a flimsy wall. Their father allegedly commissioned a marble relief of two boys fighting and placed it on the fa\u00e7ade. Whether or not it existed, the curious name stuck.<\/p>\n

Paseo de los Tristes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n
\n \"Lorca-like
\n <\/a>
\n Author: Bea en las nubes<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Widely hailed as one of the world\u2019s most beautiful streets, it\u2019s popularly known as Paseo de los Tristes, though the plaque reads Paseo del Padre Manj\u00f3n. The nickname comes from the funeral processions that once followed this route toward the cemetery by the Alhambra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
