Lima There are a popular street of the Pouch of the devil ...
But before entering the tradition, I want to record the origin that have the names that were named many streets of the old aristocratic Republican today and royal town of Peru. Although officially we have tried to de-baptism, Lima ignores any new names, faith and reason their abundance. For myself I can say that I never use the modern notation: first, because the past deserves some respect, nothing leads abolish historical names that bring back memories, and second, because such requirements of the authority are worthless and do not reach but with the passage of centuries to forget what went into our memory along with the primer. Although Lima is no longer the hat with grief, Lima pur sang, drop you to ask that we receive in childhood savoring, not racahout, but porridge, the streets of Cuzco and Arequipa, and unfortunately lost time. Instead, you ask where is the dead of the Giant, caches, or the Siren, and you will not bite our tongue to answer it.
When Pizarro founded Lima, dividiose the area of \u200b\u200bthe city in batches or lots spacious enough so that each house had a large garden and orchard or garden. Since then nearly half of the streets were known by the name of the most notable neighbor.

Dona Elvira Street was named after a famous healer, who in time of Viceroy Duke the Palata took her home. Juan de Caviedes in Tooth of Parnassus gives us long and curious news this shrill woman who inspired concepts of the poet's satirical vein Lima.
On the street of the Ladybugs have the lieutenant Don Basilio García Ciudad, handsome young man and the graceful poet, who ate bread in Lima for the years 1758, was the one who made the name popular. They lived on that street three maidens, named by the priest by the name of Mary, in praise of which he improvised one day the gallant Lieutenant spinel following:
"My true love gave
any of the three, but how strong
the case is that I do not know what I love most.
Each is like a star, three others
the distresses me pretty
infinite
and make your choice does not hit my heart
between the three Ladybugs. "
The street is improperly called a lot of cat but not named Jack, the surname of a wealthy apothecary.
Zamudio The cupcakes were the fame as a pastry of that name, which was by street name. At the same cause is named Serrano Street, that trans was the owner of a famous bakery located there.

In time of Superunda Viceroy, a few months after the destruction of Callao found in a poultry house that left a shell of a basilisk or chicken phenomenal. By Novelty people would visit the yard, and since then we had the street called the Egg.
When the Inquisition held public self faith we placed in the corner on that occasion was called Jewish Street a table with rough dummies, which he says represent the true image of the prisoners, surrounded by devils, devils and flames of hell .
Not too lengthen this chapter we omit the source of other street names, and the reader is easily explained. This number belongs which were inhabited by a guild of craftsmen and those who are named after trees or saints. But candidly confess that, despite our more lengthy investigations we have been unable to discover the streets of the ten following: Malambo, Yaparió, Sietejeringas, Contradiction, Penance, Sigh, Expiration, Commandments, and Pilitricas Comesebo. On four of these names we have heard more or less fanciful explanations that do not meet our spirit of inquiry.
Now back to the street Devil Pouch.

Among those who today are the railway stations and Chorrillos Callao, had by the year 1651 a solitary street because there were no more than a house of modest appearance and two or three stores. The rest of the street it was a plot or some high-walled corral. So unhappy was the street that even had a name, and the end of it stood a niche with a statue of the Virgin (lighted at night by oil lamp), whose cult guarded the canons of the monastery of the Incarnation. Lived in a English house, notable for its wealth and its licentiousness. He fell seriously ill, and there was no way to convince him to make the last will and should receive spiritual aid. In vain his relatives drove her to the bedside of the dying father Castillo, a Jesuit whose canonization is discussed above, the mercenary and the Augustinian Vadillo Urraca, died in the odor of sanctity. The hardened sinner's showered shameless and threw them at the head first at the hands of junk that was coming.
and relatives had given up hope that the libertine fix accounts of consciousness with a confessor learned of the case when a Dominican friar who was a friend and sidekick of the patient. On this friar, who was at the time imprisoned in the convent as punishment for the licentious life that brought discredit to the community, committed to dismount from his ass to the unrepentant sinner. Acordole leave the prelate, and our Dominican, after providing a Limeta of moscorrofio, went home without further compendium of her suffering friend.
- What the hell, man! I come for you to take a spree, where girls and cinnamon rice pudding, and I find you in bed making lame pig! Come on, Rogue, place of bones and andandito point that the thing hurry.
The patient groaned, but did not stop smacking at the picture of debauchery that he painted the monk.
"Well I would like to accompany you, but alas! I can barely move ... I say that soon the gasps.
- What you give, man! Go! Proof of this comfortable, and you'll see how he is rich.
and bringing the bottle of rum to the patient's mouth, he did rush a good drink.
- Eh! What do you think?
legitimate
-Cherry "Said the mourner, sound the tongue on the palate. Finally, even you are not like those monks of doom that day and night are the nagging me that if I confess I'm going to take the devils.
- will villains! Do not listen, and go back to the wall. But although this is a candid, man, you know that I believe that nothing happens to confess to lose. If you have escaped hell, and if not there ...
- You also lecture me! ... "Interrupted the angry patient.
- Quia, boy, so to speak! ... Do not afaroles, and cut the bile. New
attack on the bottle, and continued in English:
-on in my life I have confessed and would not know where to start.
"Look, since you can not accompany me to binge, I do not want to leave you alone, and as something we have to kill time, empleémoslo left empty in the window and test the confession.
And so this tone continued dialogue between drinks and was softened by the patient.
The next day the father came Castillo, and marveled much reluctance and not finding the sinner.
To test the day before had he taken a fancy to confession. For he had great difficulty in starting, and he says that he died devoutly and building them all with contrition. The proof is that he left half his estate to the convent, what in those days was sufficient for a Christian to St. Peter opened wide the gates of heaven.
Meanwhile, the Dominican boasted that his work was only the salvation of the soul, and more expensive to work would add:
"I brought that soul to the devil's pocket.
and popularized the event and the Reverend said, had since then the street name that all know Lima.
