The Devil's Alley

Mexico City · Mexico · Alley

The narrow alley between Campana and Río Mixcoac streets in the old quarter of Mixcoac is barely wide enough for a car. It was once a dark track thick with vegetation and almost unlit, and three legends grew out of that darkness. The most widespread concerns a night watchman heard in the alley after dusk: whoever stops and speaks with him is said to come to a bad end. The second belongs to the moneylender Julio, found dead in the passage one morning — neighbours said the Devil had collected him as payment for what he had taken from his debtors. The third tells of a peculiar shadow behind the tree, and of the Devil appearing to anyone who dares to challenge him.
