Territory as index
Each legend is anchored to a specific place so the map is not just decoration, but a way to read relationships between routes, towns, and memories.
About the project
De Calle En Calle brings together situated legends to explore colonial Mexico through the map.
The project connects stories, territories, and editorial context so that each journey reveals how oral memory continues to mark cities, roads, mountains, and communities.
Stories in context
The entries go beyond the scare or the anecdote. They also include keys about era, region, and cultural resonances to broaden the reading.
Open exploration
You can enter through a city, an area, or an intuition. The interface is designed for browsing, comparing, and returning to the map with ease.
Purpose
A cartography for reading stories, not just locating them
De Calle En Calle starts from a simple idea: legends do not live in isolation, they live in space. That is why the map works as a gateway to relationships between regions, migrations, religious imaginaries, everyday fears, and local forms of memory.
Rather than presenting a flat collection, the project proposes a situated reading where each point helps to understand why a particular story appears in a specific landscape and what dialogue it maintains with its surroundings.
