Strolling musicians in the Mercado del Puerto
A little book shop with its two literary cats awaiting your visit.
The period facades of buildings in Ciudad Vieja (Old City). Montevideo was a small, entirely walled-in city. These buildings stood on checkerboard streets on a peninsula that forms the South East point of Montevideo Bay, a natural harbor. Walking up and down the peninsula where there are still a few old residences such as these it feels like you are appreciating museum pieces anxious to tell you the important functions they once served.
