Jimios Street, where our Hotel Europa is located, involves a curious legend.
In the XV and XVI centuries, Jimios Street was known as calle Cadaorcos, Calahorcos or Calle del Ahorco (Hang man).
According to Félix González de León (a scholar, writer, historian and chronicler who focused all his work on the local level of the Andalusian city), the name would come because there was a door where a master blacksmith lived, who killed his apprentice and did not say anything. Later, imprisoned for another crime, he passed through this street when he was taken to the torture and, as it rained a lot, they put him in the same doorway. Since it rained so much and did not cease, the judges considered that the execution took place there and, being there, the blacksmith confessed the crime of the apprentice.
Hence after his death, the street was known by that nickname.
