Just a short walk south from the Portón, the Calle de los Suspiros — the Street of Sighs — is the barrio's most photographed lane, and deservedly so. It is one of the oldest streets in the city, paved in irregular pie de moleque stones, lined with colonial-era houses draped in bougainvillea, and opening at its far end toward the river. The name has accumulated myths over the years: some attribute it to the wind coming off the Plata, others to a later period when the street housed taverns and brothels in the city's declining years. Walk it slowly and continue down toward the waterfront.
