Some shots taken on my bike ride along the coast towards Montevideo from Carassco (a wealthy suburb to the east of Montevideo). Some stunning architecture along the way...

Around town : Punta del Este (out of season), Uruguay
Without a doubt the loveliest areas we found in Punta (as the locals call it), were; Jose Ignacio, Garzon and La Barra. I'd love to return in peak season (ie December and January). The weather was poor during our stay in April and the resorts were quiet (albeit very reasonable rates to be had!).
Jose Iganacio.
Beautiful beach at Jose Ignacio.
Entrance to the stunning beach cafe/restaurant/bar La Huella, Jose Ignacio.
Punta del Este.
The famous 'fingers' on the beach at Punta del Este, which warns people the waters on the beaches at this side of the Punte peninsular faces the ocean, as opposed to the river.
La Barra.
We had so much rain the river burst it's banks and flooded the main road, just north of La Barra.
Beautiful 'out of another world' grounds at the Fasano hotel, close to La Barra.
Garzon.
Beautiful peaceful village, which felt right out of a Western movie, except for the odd little expensive boutique stores starting to creep in.
Out the back of Restaurant Garzon. Simply stunning food at this Francis Mallmann restaurant.
Hotel : around the grounds of Hotel Fasano Las Piedras, Punta del Este, Uruguay
Stunning 'out of another world' grounds...
Who would have guessed this was a bar?
Loved the the little seating area by the tennis courts.
One of the beautifully stylish restaurants
Time of stay: April 2014.
Restaurant: Restaurant Garzon, Garzon, Uruguay
The food in restaurant Garzon was the best food we ate during our stay in Uruguay. The interior design of the restaurant was gorgeous. I would go back to Uruguay just to return to the quaint village of Garzon and this amazingly good food.
View onto the central square in Garzon
Time of visit: late lunch (even for Uruguay!), April 2014.
