Plaza Matriz

Plaza Matriz has been beautifully restores in its original 1930's style. New benches and disposal bins are placed and beautiful flowers are planted. The second hand market and artists playing musical instruments contribute to make a nostalgic atmosphere.

Buenos Aires is said to be the Paris of South America, Montevideo with its beautiful buildings, green space and artistic atmosphere must be the Vienna of South America..

Sarandi will soon be "Rue Paradi" of Montevideo

I have known this beautiful city only for the past two years and the pedestrian street of Sarandi has never looked better to me than today, As if it is aware and proud of all the positive changes happening after years of being forgotten. The slow process of maintaining many old buildings is finally showing result and new shops are opening. In addition, new paving is in progress and Plaza Matriz under maintenance. In the lovely sun shine of today, the sound of the harp played by a musician, the colorful handcrafts of the artisans, the shops and the open air cafes were all contributing to the liveliness of this pedestrian as well as welcoming  the tourists. The cleanliness of the pedestrian was also surprisingly impressive. This has to be only  a beginning......the old city (ciudad vieja) and dow town (centro) should and will gain their original glory as they are the window of this country to the outside world.
