Montevideo is opposite Buenos Aries, and is where the Tango was first danced by European immigrants, slaves, and the working classes.
The Tango is one of the most sexual, artistic, and influential dances in history and both sides of the river argue as to where it was developed. The first thing that hits you is how clean and friendly Uruguay is. As you walk from the port there is a tourist office and helpful guides, and the city has a walking tour map to help you orientate yourself. Jean will walk you around that, which we managed to do before breakfast and our plane home. 4K watch on a big screen.
The capital has about 1.5 million inhabitants, which is about half of the population of Uruguay. Meat is a huge export.
Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice are seen here performing the Argentinian Tango on the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.
