Perhaps the best clue to the significance of Lima to the country of Peru can be found in its most popular nickname: El Pulpo (“The Octopus”). Metropolitan Lima’s huge size—it accounts for about one-fourth of the total population of Peru—has both resulted from and stimulated the concentration of people, capital, political influence, and social innovations. Lima’s unique status is but one of the more important consequences of a highly centralized, unitary state that from its inception in the early 19th century solved interregional conflicts by focusing power and prestige on the city. With its port of Callao and its location at the centre of Peru’s Pacific coast, Lima was long the only point of contact between the country and the outside world.
As with many sprawling and rapidly growing metropolitan centres, Lima has its detractors as well as its promoters. Those who remember the more tranquil, traditional days, before the arrival of millions of migrants and before the many buses and automobiles brought pollution and congestion, are prone to use another nickname for the capital: Lima la Horrible. This is the noisy, dirty, gloomy, damp, and depressing Lima, perceptions shared by both short-term visitors and longtime residents. Even though sunshine does break through the dense coastal fog in the summer, Lima then becomes unbearably hot as well as humid, and the sunshine seems to emphasize even more clearly the grimy buildings and lack of greenery in the central city.
