The streets that hold memory

Plaza de las Flores had four different names. Beneath Casa del Aljibe lies a 14th-century Nasrid cistern. The Church of Los Remedios was built where a forest stood in 1400. Calle Murillo is named after a doctor imprisoned in Algiers. The historic centre of Estepona is a palimpsest: every visible layer conceals another beneath it.
