Cabo Polonio

by 25yearold

A place without electricity... you can see a sky crowded with stars. A place full of nature!This is a virgin beach northeast in Uruguay. You shouldn`t miss it. There are many atractions and in your way from Montevideo or Punta del Este to Cabo Polonio you can visit also "Punta del Diablo", "Valizas", etc. GREAT ALMOST VIRGIN BEACHES FULL OF YOUNG PEOPLE.Night life in this beach is different. There are not big discos. Instead you can find litlle pubs whith music, great food, great view and nice people.For more info go to:http://www.stonek.com/ppolonio.htm

Punta del Este Resort

by 25yearold

This is the most famous summer resort here in Uruguay. Here you can practice a lot of water sports including surf. During Christmas Eve and until March you can enjoy peace in its looooooooong beaches (some of them without any people) and GREEEEEEEEAT party at night. For more info go to: http://www.stonek.com/ppedele.htm

Montevideo

by 25yearold

This is the capital of Uruguay. Here there are some places to visit but not a big deal, the key is NIGHTLIFE. Here there are a lot of pubs, discoteques, etc. They are open almost everynight.You should stay in Montevideo city 2 or weekend days in order to go out and go to the "Mercado del Puerto" to eat our great meat.For more info go to:http://www.stonek.com/pmvd.htm

sunday morning market

all sort of things on the streets : from food (fresh vegetables from the countryside, fresh pasta, cheese) to pet animals (one puppy for 10 pesos), to antiques and "puces", like a wonderful flea market!

Fernando Cabrera nació en Montevideo en 1956; estudió música desde su infancia, y es uno de los compositores uruguayos más exquisitos. Entre tú y yo, es uno de mis preferidos... Sus canciones melancólicas e íntimas, crean un ambiente especial..."Sufro el dominio de los domingosson como adelantos de Navidadtemo al fascinio de la verdadhubo un comienzo y habrá un finalPurgando cada nuevo minutolibro en este infierno mi claridadsufro el dominio de la verdadtodos los goces que ya no estánHay algo tuyo en todos mis labiosalgo que despierta en el paladarmasco el demonio de la verdadnada de aquello me gusta ya""Pandemonios" Fernando Cabrera was born in Montevideo in 1956; he studied music since his childhood, and he is one of the most exquisit Uruguayan composers.
