Calleja del Pañuelo, officially known as Calle de Pedro Jiménez, is one of the most enchanting streets in Córdoba, Spain. Famous for being the narrowest street in the city and among the narrowest in Europe, it is situated close to the renowned Mezquita-Catedral and Calleja de las Flores. The street's name originates from the length of traditional handkerchiefs worn by knights, which matches its width. This historic location is part of Córdoba's UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic centre. Visitors can appreciate the captivating atmosphere, featuring a small plaza with a fountain and orange trees, making it an excellent spot for photography. The street is accessible to tourists throughout the year.
