Lima - Jiron de la Union

Jiron de la Union is a pedestrian only street with modern shops and restaurants lining each side. The architecture here is a mix of old and new buildings. Jiron de la Union leads from Plaza de Armas to Plaza San Martin and is a pleasant place to stroll without all the traffic and street noise found on the other thorough fairs. For those interested in fast foods or western cuisine this is the area. Like the Plaza de Armas, there are street sellers walking the area selling souvenirs and other goods. There are also some historic sites along the street, including the Iglesia de La Merced.
