Piura is such a merry city that its inhabitants talk in singsong tones. It
was here that Spanish Conqueror Francisco Pizarro founded the first Spanish
city in Peru, San Miguel de Piura, in 1532.
The city's colonial churches house
valuable collections of colonial art, while the town of Catacaos is famous for
its fine straw and cotton arts and crafts, gold and silver filigree and delicious
dishes served up at local eateries called picanterías.
