Montevideo

Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, has a surprising cultural diversity for such a small population, and is a picturesque blend of colonial Spanish, Italian and Art Deco styles. Montevideo is a European-style capital with high-rise buildings, monuments and large parks.

There is lots to see. On Sundays, there is a huge flea market which goes on for blocks and blocks.  You can buy totally unique antiques, treasures that you would never see in the US.  Montevideo has an old section called La Ciudad Vieja, loaded with colonial charm.  Its promenade is a wonderful place to walk.   Lunch in Montevideo's seaport.  It is full of local color.  And in the evening take a walk on the Rambla.  The Rambla is the promenade along side the beach of Rio de la Plata.  Everyone strolls there in the evening, chatting arm in arm.  You will be able to experience the warm, friendly culture of Uruguay.
