Uruguay


Uruguay is a South American country known for its verdant interior and beach-lined coast.

The capital, Montevideo, revolves around Plaza Independencia, once home to a Spanish citadel.  It leads to Ciudad Vieja (Old City), with art deco buildings, colonial homes and Mercado del Puerto, an old port market with many steakhouses.

La Rambla, a waterfront promenade, passes fish stalls, piers and parks.
