Perched on the Rio Plata with some of Buenos Aires' taller buildings visible across the water it is a very attractive spot. Shady tree lined streets and cobbled roads, the scene is completed with the lighthouse keeping watch over the town.
Each of the town's squares as well as the waterfront are lined with classy looking restaurants, which I imagine in summer months are frequented by classy looking Montevideans and Portenos, as people from BA are known, only an hour from BA by ferry it would make a great weekend getaway.
Lunch involved an overdue stop for a Chivito Completa. Delicacy wouldn't be quite the right word to describe this dish.
We felt it would be the kind of place you could happily stay for a while to regroup after a couple of months or more on the road but for us it was time to cross the Rio Plata again and head back to Argentina.
