This scene reminded me a little bit of Stonehedge. I saw it near the Holocaust Memorial, in Montevideo.

This monumental building by architect Jorge Herrán was built in 1923 by the port of Montevideo. Originally created for housing the port’s customs, now it is used by the Army. It was declared a historical monument in 1975.

Villa Biarritz

Villa Biarritz is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Montevideo. It reminds me a lot of Ipanema, in Rio de Janeiro. A fair takes place at the Parque Juan Zorrilla de San Martín on Tuesdays and Sundays. There, you can find anything from fruits to clothing, crafts, etc.

Gurvich and / y Torres Garcia Museums / Museos

I finally visited the Gurvich Museum. It is usually not mentioned in travel book-guides or travel sites, but for me, this is definitely a museum you can’t miss while in Montevideo (if you like art, of course). It is not allowed to take photographs. What a pity.
When going there, you can also step inside the Cathedral of the city, which is next door. That same evening, I visited the Joaquín Torres García Museum (photos), which is only two blocks from the other one. Smaller and not so well-kept, it houses an interesting collection of portraits of illustrious personalities, among other things.
Finalmente pude visitar el Museo Gurvich. Es sin dudas, una de las joyitas de Montevideo, no mencionada usualmente en las guías o sitios de viajes. Para mí, es uno de los lugares que no hay que dejar de visitar en Montevideo (si les gusta el arte, claro). Lástima que no permiten tomar fotografías. Al lado, se encuentra la Catedral de la ciudad, que también pueden visitar. Esa misma tarde fui al Museo Joaquín Torres García (fotos), que está a sólo dos cuadras de allí. Más pequeño y no tan bien mantenido, alberga una interesante colección de retratos de personalidades ilustres, entre otras cosas.
