Bonito lugar y con una vibra extraña pero creo que de eso se trata

Me sorprendio un poco ya que como dice es un simple callejón donde avita un duende. Y la verdad que es uno de los puntos de Cadiz que no hay que dejar de visitar tiene una buena historia.

En El Callejón del Duende la leyendas están presente, desde los amoríos de una gaditana con un invasor militar francés, pasando por la otra historia o leyenda del famoso contrabandista apodado “El Duende” difundiendo voces y lamentos. El Callejón del Duende se encuentra en el barrio del Pópulo de Cádiz, es la calle más estrecha de la ciudad, situada junto a la calle Mesón, cerca de la Catedral de Cádiz y la Plaza de Fray Félix. Este pequeño callejón sin salida, con una forma curva para protegerse del viento, está cerrado por una reja y destaca por su colorida decoración con macetas, flores y monedas que los visitantes arrojan para pedir deseos. Antiguamente conectaba el foso del Teatro Romano con la calle Mesón.
