When a Uruguayan welcomes you with a call for a \mate", don't be alarmed, "el mate" is the ubiquitous traditional drink, derived from the herb yerba. Mate is found everywhere in Montevideo, the waterfront capital of Uruguay, established in 1726. A hub of commerce and higher education, Montevideo's architecture is reflective of its Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and British immigrants and it enjoys a humid, subtropical climate.
Plaza Independence
Carnivores and sweet tooths are well-catered for (meat dishes are a specialty and desserts are plentiful) but what is there apart from drinking mate and eating up a storm? Here's a quick guide:
- Ciudad Vieja – Montevideo's old town
- Barrio Reus – a small neighbourhood with charming coulorful houses
- The Rambla – a 22-kilometre waterfront boardwalk flanking the city, ideal for people-watching
