Montevideo -pron IPA: is the capital, largest city, and chief port of Uruguay. Given that it is more than twice as large as any other city in the country, it is considered a primate city. As of April 2006, Montevideo is ranked by Mercer Human Resource Consulting as the city in Latin America with the highest quality of life.

  • Ciudad Vieja - Montevideo's Old Town. Enter through the portal called Puerta de la Ciudadela
  • Plaza Independecia - the Independence Square at the end of the 18 de Julio ave.
  • Palacio Salvo next to Plaza Independencia, once South America's highest buildings still dominates Montevideo's skyline.
  • Underneath the statue on Plaza Indepencia is the Mausoleo de Artigas. Faint red light, an urn, one tourist and two guards. It makes you wonder what the latter are doing when you leave.
  • National History Museum - spread between five old historic houses, holds important bits of the country's history. Entrance: free.
  • The sexual diversity monument, erected in 2005, is located on Policia Vieja St., between Plaza de la Constituición and Plaza Independencia. It reads "Honouring diversity is honouring life; Montevideo is for the respect of all identities and sexual orientations". It's South America's first monument dedicated to sexual diversity. Other places of interest to gay people include the Edificio Liberaij, where two gay Argentine bank robbers (featured in the 1998 movie Plata Quemada) died in 1965.

es una antorcha al aire esta palmera...

es una antorcha al aire esta palmera...
Made by Emiliag
ES UNA ANTORCHA AL AIRE ESTA PALMERA... Es una antorcha al aire esta palmera, verde llama que busca al sol desnudo para beberle sangre; en cada nudo de su tronco cuajó una primavera. Sin bretes ni eslabones, altanera y erguida, pisa el yermo seco y rudo; para la miel del cielo es un embudo la copa de sus venas, sin madera. No se retuerce ni se quiebra al suelo; no hay sombra en su follaje; es luz cuajada que en ofrenda de amor se alarga al cielo; La sangre de un volcán que enamorada del padre sol se revistió de anhelo y se ofrece, columna, a su morada. Miguel de Unamuno
