An English man turned Barranco local shares with us his best list of places to eat and drink in the bohemian district. I’ve lived in Barranco, Lima’s Bohemian quarter for almost six years and during that time have written about several things that have tickled my fancy: the abandoned funicular, the romantic ‘bridge of sighs’, and some of the artists and writers who have made Barranco what it is – a laid-back, quirky place, full of life.
