  • Name of Shop: Punta Carretas Shopping Center

    I was told that this shopping center was formerly a jailhouse. Now its a real great shopping center with lots of boutiques and a great food area.Dont forget to visit the fashonable "confitaria" at the groundfloor!

    What To Buy: You will find practically everything in the many shops even all you need for your mate equipment!

     ...am Busen der Musen.... Ich war offensichtlich zur falschen Zeit in Montevideo (Mai), aber sonst hat es mir gut gefallen
