The province of Lima is divided into forty-three districts of Lima (Spanish: distritos), which are administered by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima. The urban area of Lima is generally considered to be formed by thirty of these districts. The remaining thirteen districts consist of mostly rural and sparsely populated desert and mountainous areas. Of these peripheral districts, many of the coastal ones serve as beach resorts and their population, which is considerably smaller than that of the urban districts, increases during the summer months.
