Sobre Maldonado - About Maldonado (esp-eng)

, , ,

Maldonado is a departament of Uruguay, the one I live now (not the one where I was born). I want to tell about it, the same way I did with the post of Uruguay.

------

De los 19 departamentos del Uruguay, Maldonado es uno de los que tiene costas en parte sobre el Río de la plata y en parte sobre el océano Atlántico. Posee un paisaje serrano, con interesantes cadenas de elevaciones que lo cruzan de norte a sur. Se destaca el cerro Catedral. Muchas de estas elevaciones marcan el paisaje de balnearios del departamento.
Pero no todo es serranía en el departamento. Hay un gran abanico de opciones para turistas de todos los gustos. Sus playas son de las que más gente atrae todos los veranos. Paseos al aire libre y gran cantidad de espectáculos se realizan en sus principales ciudades, como Punta del Este (referente en América latina) y Piriápolis. Todo esto, junto al marco histórico del lugar, punto estratégico en viejas luchas, la amabilidad de la gente que lo habita, y los paisajes interminables, conforman un departamento lleno de atractivos para visitar en el Uruguay.

About Maldonado (eng)
Of the 19 departments of Uruguay, Maldonado is one of those that has costs partly on the River Plate and partly on the Atlantic ocean. It possesses a "mountain" landscape, with interesting chains of elevations that cross it from north to south (There are not really mountains in Uruguay, just elevations that never raise more than 550mts). One of the more important is the Cathedral hill. Many of these elevations mark the landscape of important cities of the department.
But not everything is elevations in the department. There is a great list of options for all kind of tourists. Beaches are of those that more people attract every summer. Tours outdoors and great quantity of shows are carried out in its main cities, as Punta del Este (a reference in Latin America) and Piriápolis. All this, plus to the historical frame of the place, strategic point in old fights, people's kindness that inhabits it, and the endless landscapes, conform a department fulled with attractiveness to visit in Uruguay.
