A day at the beach in La Barra
... seemed to be shut and some bungalows beside the beach. It was a nice place to spend a relaxing couple of nights but at first I thought it was a shame that we only had one full day at the beach. However, with hindsight perhaps this was just as well considering that I turned a brilliant lobster red after only two hours on the beach. I spent the evening nursing my blistering skin over a bottle of vino tinto and a home-cooked ...
Pouring in Piriapolis

A long way up
... Fray Bentos is remarkable not just for the sheer quantity of food processed here (and its fame around the world) but also because it is situated in a beautiful spot on the river with a whole community built by the owners. The factory is now closed, but has a fascinating museum, not least the office upstairs which is just as it was left in the 1970's complete with archaic desks & office equipment, a set of book ledgers and grooves warn ...
