Mercado del Puerto

s2.jpgMercado del Puerto (Port Market) is more than what its name tells about it. It is a picturesque area of the city where handcrafts are sold and where there are many restaurants with outdoor tables.You can have excellent “asado” (uruguayan and argentine style barbecued meat) here and enjoy the music of the amateur singers that frequent the place. Please, donýt miss a cup (OK, maybe two or three) of a traditional medio y medio cocktail (half sweet white wine, half white sparkling wine).
