More Miraflores

Miraflores is supposed to be the prettiest neighborhood in Lima, and there are some fun neocolonial buildings (although the Palacio Municipal de Miraflores, seen from the side street in the photo on the left, was apparently built in 1944). The church on the right, La Virgen Milagrosa, is next door to the Palacio. But most of Miraflores is modern city, with stores and offices and fast-food restaurants. There are a lot of parks, and a long grassy island with trees and benches in the middle of the boulevard from Parque Central all the way to the ocean.
