Didn\u2019t know that? No one had told you? Patience. Before I reveal the best places for <strong>a shopping tour in the capital<\/strong>, let me ask you a few questions: What are you looking for?

Gamarra\u2019s garments travel well beyond national borders, reaching markets across the continent. The secret to its success?

Faced with this chaotic situation, the city\u2019s mayor at the time, Eduardo Orrego, <strong>relocated the traders to a simple fairground<\/strong> set up on an open esplanade near the R\u00edmac River and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gob.pe\/800-presidencia-de-la-republica-del-peru-historia-de-palacio-de-gobierno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Government Palace<\/a>. Today, that very spot is known as the Alameda Chabuca Granda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fairground was named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/peru\/2024\/03\/09\/polvos-azules-de-corral-de-comedias-a-convertirse-en-el-centro-comercial-mas-concurrido-de-lima\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Polvos Azules<\/a> \u2014 a name that dates back to colonial times. In that area of old Lima, <strong>goat leather was dyed with indigo<\/strong>, a fine blue powder. Historical records tell us that in <strong>1574 the Spaniard Gaspar de los Reyes<\/strong> was a pioneer of this trade. Although the relocated vendors had nothing to do with leather dyeing,<strong> the old name has endured to this day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it has survived despite the fact that <strong>the original fairground no longer exists<\/strong>. In 1997, a devastating fire reduced one of the city\u2019s most emblematic shopping areas to ashes. <strong>It had been famous because you could find just about anything there<\/strong>: clothes and trainers from international brands (<strong>some genuine, others less so<\/strong>), the latest technology \u2014 televisions, cameras, mobile phones \u2014 as well as perfumes, spirits, and plenty of <strong>pirated films<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC0315.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC0315.webp 867w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC0315-300x199.webp 300w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC0315-768x510.webp 768w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC0315-550x365.webp 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 867px) 100vw, 867px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the tragic fire, the traders regrouped and built the <strong>new Polvos Azules<\/strong> on blocks 2 and 3 of Paseo de la Rep\u00fablica, in La Victoria District. This major avenue<strong> links the Historic Centre with San Isidro District, Miraflores District and Barranco Distric<\/strong>t, among other areas.
