"Montevideo: A great surprise" Montevideo by pili
Montevideo Travel Guide: 630 reviews and 1,093 photos
I visited Montevideo when I was a little girl and I returned five or six years ago, just for a few hours.-
I couldn´t recall the beauty of the city, specially the 22 kms. of white, sundy beaches.-
I want to say thank you to my VT friend Andrea (andal13) who spent all the saturday with me and my friends, showing us the most interesting places of the city, like Ciudad Vieja (the Old Town), Mercado del Puerto (the Port Market) and a new cultural place "Viene".-
Thanks Andrea!! We had a great time in our VT eating (sorry!... meeting).-

Great Statue, indeed. Does anybody know, who is a sculptor? I only remember that the sculptor has some italian surname, something like P...nini, as there are a small prototype of the statue and a bronze head-study in a local history museum.
I see, the eatery VT meeting was a great success, all the good food Andrea mentioned LOL, and yes Montevideo is realy a lovely surprise. wonderful City, well presented Pilar.
It seems you have captured some of the magic of Montevideo in your vt travels.
De nada! Cuando quieran, repetimos la parrillada, el Tannat, el chajá, el medio y medio, el helado, las croquetitas...
