This route begins at the entrance portico, located between Calle Calvario and Mesón, which was built to commemorate the Muslim past of the town, popularly known as “the arch”. This leads us through an urban structure of sloping streets with white houses decorated with striking flowers, the more stately ones of two or three floors are distinguished by wide gates and balconies with wrought iron railings, and the humbler ones, not exceeding two floors, are distinguished by their small windows and thick walls to keep them insulated from both the cold and the heat.
We go up Calle Tolox and turning first left we reach Calle Veracruz, known by the locals as “Calle arriba”, which is an obligatory stop during Holy Week in the town’s processions.
After this, turning right, we enter the Plaza de la Constitución and pass through the arch, which leads us into the Calle Iglesia, making a stop at the Parish Church of Santa Ana, built on the remains of the old Muslim fortress.
Walking down Calle Villa, we find on our left the only remaining niche of the old Via Crucis. Just in front of it is the tower of María Sagredo, heroine of Alozaina, who is reflected in the coat of arms of the town.
Continuing along this street, we can visit the Castle and Mirador Park, where the remains of the wall have been used as a support point for the construction of the nearby houses.
We then take Calle Rodahuevos, turning first to the right and entering Calle Hoya, whose steep slope in the centre made it easier for livestock to pass through to the corrals.
At the end of this street, we can see the hilly terrain of olive and orange trees, crowned by the Sierra Prieta. Next, on the left, we come to Calle Barrihondillo, which, up a steep slope and through a narrow alleyway, leads to Calle Málaga, also known as “la Calle abajo” (the street below).
We continue straight on, to the left in the direction of the main square to take Calle Mesón, thus returning to our point of origin.
