[Kissing Alley | Where legend and romance intersect, the gap between the miracle of love and tragedy]

[Kissing Alley | A gap between miracles and tragedies of love where legend and romance intersect] — A love story that is only 68cm wide, where legends come to life — This narrow alley is said to be the story of the tragic love between poor miner Carlos and wealthy daughter Carmen, which happened in the 18th century. The lovers whispered to each other and shared their deep love over the balconies facing each other on the alley, but Carmen was stabbed by her father and lost her life. Carlos, saddened, followed suit... This is the tragic story that remains . ⸻ 📍[Location] Located at the foot of the historic Cerro del Gallo hill, in a maze-like area in the center of Guanajuato. 💏[Legends and superstitions] • The entire alley is only 68-168cm wide. The balconies facing each other are within reach . •The jinx that "if you kiss on the third step, you will have seven years of happiness, otherwise you will have seven years of misfortune" has also been established . ⸻ ✨【Recommended points】 •Because it is a narrow alley, the moment when you kiss each other is special✨ •The tour with lyrics by local street musicians (Estudiantina) is extremely romantic . •The cute balconies and wall colors (red and orange) are great for photos📸 . ⸻ 🎒【Tips】 •Locals recommend visiting early - before sunset is the best! •It tends to get crowded, so it is recommended to visit on weekday afternoons or before the tour starts. •If you take a photo with a street musician, they will be happy if you give them a small tip. •Whether you believe in the jinx or are skeptical, it is a great atmosphere to visit with your partner! ⸻ #Kissing Alley #Mexico #Guanajuato #Absolutely Free Trip
