Montevideo:
Montevideo has a
surprising cultural diversity for such a small population, and is a
picturesque blend of colonial Spanish, Italian and Art Deco styles.
Many Argentines come here to relax during their summer break and bask
on the white sandy beaches. City on the Rio de la Plata, in the
southern part of the country. A spacious community with broad
boulevards, it is the nation's largest city and its principal economic,
administrative, and cultural center. Most of Uruguay's meat- and wool-processing
plants and other manufacturing establishments are located in the
metropolitan area. The city also has a large fishing industry, and its
port handles the bulk of the nation's foreign trade. Many tourists
visit the city and nearby beach resorts. Montevideo was founded by the
Spanish governor of Buenos Aires in 1726 to secure the area against
Portuguese infiltration from Brazil.Large numbers of Europeans,
especially Spaniards and Italians, migrated to the city in the late
19th and early 20th century.
