Text and photos: Cristina Mirinda.
In the last few hours I have visited some of the neighborhoods of Montevideo, driveway with my seven-league boots, with my "buttons" urban.
In the old city, past the Plaza Matriz, down to the pier Sarandi, to the port to the sea, a network of streets neglected flanked by single storey houses that once had well-painted facades and decorative details are now loose and cracked. Ni & about girls, children with visors run in zig zag and I'm surprised to see scrap yards passing horse-drawn wagon loaded with washing machines, boards, wires ... Some workers are renovating the floor of the main pedestrian street.
The Palacio Salvo has posed with Mirinda bottle, glass and liter and fourth, I've gotten in a supermarket July 18th Avenue, the main artery with cholesterol in the form of buses.
I found randomly confectionery Carrera, with its Massini, his cigarettes Barcelona and alfajores with dulce de leche, of course. I have traveled, guided by chance, the Sunday of Tristan Narvaja, in the suburb of Gordon, which exceeds the trace of Madrextensióny id for the amount of affordable antiques, amazing the amount of silverware and alpaca available second-hand books leisurely atmosphere spectacular, but without generating a lot of people feel anthill or beehive.
fit in my makeshift path Rodo Park, full of street artists from the Circus Circus Price could go to capture, were magnificent, walked around Palermo and the southern district, I found with the cemetery, a jewel invaded by yellow cats ... On the way I photographed several graffiti, walls and doors. Meringues and also ate and got a thermal mass ass that everyone carries under his arm, filled with hot water to brew yerba mate. From the promenade
Britain saw the Rio de la Plata, now brownish because the sea water, green, is not moving and there is more freshwater river. Montevideo
gives the impression of being a city of neighborhoods aged, who have not much care, but little gems that keep even perceivable. There is a precarious balance between the inertia of wear and innovation flows that burn in some areas, but still have to put more roots.
have to dig, but it is.
