Synopsis

Montevideo opens slowly along the Rio de la Plata, a city of salt wind, long pavements, shaded cafes and neighbourhoods that carry the water into daily life. Its beauty is rarely separate from use: the rambla is a public room, carnival belongs to local stages and history remains embedded in ordinary streets.

A Little Book of Montevideo enters Uruguay's capital through forty concise, researched reflections. Move from the fortified port, migration and the conventillos of Barrio Sur to candombe, murga, tango and La Cumparsita; walk through Ciudad Vieja, Plaza Independencia, 18 de Julio, the Prado, Pocitos and El Cerro; and encounter mate, parrillas, tortas fritas, football, markets, literature, dictatorship, democratic memory and cooperative housing.

Written for travellers, readers and lovers of layered cities, this is not a conventional guidebook but an intimate literary portrait of Montevideo: a capital where rhythm travels by foot, memory occupies public space and the horizon remains open to everyone.
