Spain Paseo de los Tristes

Although the Paseo de los Tristes is officially called Paseo del Padre Manjón, it is known by this name because it was the place where funeral processions passed to the cemetery.

View of the Alhambra from the Paseo de los Tristes Called the ancient gate of Guadix, the Paseo de los Tristes was, until the s. XIX, one of the busiest and held celebrations of bulls and reeds, for which the bed of the river Darro was covered with scaffolding.

It was made, in 1609, in lands ceded by the lords of Castril, and still the small square building with its tall body in the shape of a turret is preserved, and in whose facade the shields of Granada appear, elevated next to the bridge of the Chirimías. The fountain that occupies the center of Paseo de los Tristes was made in 1609.
