In 1901, the historian Antonio Chabret and Fraga described this street in his famous guide, counting it among the city’s oldest and most significant routes. Picture townsfolk in long cloaks hustling about, kids peeking around corners hoping to catch a glimpse of castle guards, and maybe even a few curious cats sneaking into cool, shadowy doorways.
The walls along this road have seen more than a few secrets-whispers of old feuds, laughter from street festivals, and surely the odd runaway goat or two. Old Castle Street links Calle de los Dolores to the grand Calle del Castillo, serving as an ancient artery pulsing with stories. As you walk, imagine the weight of time under your feet-don’t worry, it’s lighter than it looks! And keep an eye out-history sometimes likes to play hide and seek.
