Calle Lira, affectionately known as my personal heaven, is lined up and down with motorcycle shops. On a busy Saturday morning there are dozens and dozens of motorcycles parked up and down the block, and people carrying helmets milling from shop to shop. Some clever fellas wheel their toolboxes over and set up shop in front of the massive parts store where you have to take a number like you're at a deli counter. As more people crowd around the shop, a man rolls up on a work bicycle with an oven on the bed and a bottle of butane and a box of empanadas de horno on the shelf below.
Avenida 10 de Julio Huamachuco is the destination for all things automotive. Here you can find parts for every kind of vehicle. There are literally hundreds of Toyota Hiluxes roaming the roads and it is all I can do to contain myself. This street is similarly lined with curbside mechanics, conveniently located footsteps from any tool or part they might need.
On this street you can also find girls selling juice or grilled meat from mobile stands fashioned out of shopping carts.
