If we go back in history, they revolve around the sea and the fact of being the first spa in Peru in the times of Castile. The Lima of the wall received mullet and croaker daily brought in old baskets by the wives of the fishermen, whose donkeys walked the cobbled streets of the city to ship their merchandise from door to door.
