Montevideo is the capital of Uruguay, one of the smallest nations in Latin America, located on the Rio de la Plata, between Argentina and Brasil. More than half of the three million inhabitants of Uruguay live in Montevideo. The legend says that a sailor on Fernando de Magallanes’ ship in 1520 cried out “I have a seen a mountain” (Monte vide eu) when he saw a hill on the opposite side of the bay where the old city of Montevideo is now located.
You may not associate much with Uruguay except maybe for being two-times world soccer champion or because you have eaten Uruguayan beef back home. Well, here are some the things that got Uruguay into headlines over the past years: the legalization of cannabis, same-sex marriage and abortion, world leadership in renewable energy, cutting-edge software development, a policy of “one laptop per child”, leadership in Latin America for democracy, low corruption, middle class prosperity, income equality, freedom of the press etc.
Montevideo is a great place to discover and spend time. Apart from the obvious historic and tourist references you will find in any Uruguay guidebook, there is a quickly growing restaurant and café scene (described for example by critic Anthony Bourdain here), you can go the local beaches, go running or drink mate on the rambla (beachfront walk), enjoy local craft beers while watching (or dancing) tango … or study Spanish.
