"Callejones" is the Spanish plural for callejón, meaning narrow streets, alleys, or passageways. Often used to describe narrow, sometimes historic lanes in cities, it also refers to specific, bustling, budget-friendly shopping areas, such as "Los Callejones" (Santee Alley) in the Los Angeles Fashion District.
ca·lle·jón. kȧlʸeˈḵȯn. plural callejones. -ḵōnās. : the narrow passageway between the shoulder-high barrier around a bullring and the wall of the grandstand.
In Spanish, these are los callejones, or “the alleyways.” We turn off the main road into the most famous of the alleys, Santee Alley. With all the sounds, and people walking around, it almost feels like a big street party– if that street party was a bunch of people looking for cheap clothing.
In fact the alley, or “Los Callejones” as it's referred to by our Spanish-speaking visitors, is deeply rooted in the wholesale businesses. Though it is now primarily focused on retail, the area where the Santee Alley is located used to be the center of the Los Angeles fashion wholesale industry.
