Uruguay is a great country and the most overcheiving football nation ever.
Which team has won the most continental and/or world cups ever? Brazil? Germany? No - its Uruguay, thanks to 15 Copa America titles vs Brazil´s puny 8.
Literally the most successful country ever at football and they have a smaller population than Yorkshire.
Think they are only good at football? Think again.
It is the most peaceful and libertarian Latin country. The government works well for the people, taking only 22% tax. The country has good social services, health care, education standards and is the banking capital of Latin America.
The interior produces excellent beef, vegetables, wine and grappa miel (sweet delicious liquer). Craft beer is also pretty good. Cabezas - British style ale and Volcanica - Belgian thogh you can get Hobgoblin and Fullers quite cheap in the duty free.
Nice to go horse-riding and quadbiking, and it has some of the best beaches in Latin America, including upscale city beach Pocitos, jetset Punta del Este, hippy Cabo Polonia, and the surf paradise, Punta del Diablo, popular Rocha and World Heritage Colonia del Sacramento.
Locals and visitors enjoy great wine, party and bbq culture in a chilled out, permissive, not expensive sun-drenched country of duty free and no fux given.
I like it so much I quite often live there in the summer. Highly recommended - 500 times better than any Spanish resort. Juan and I will see you there.
Sounds class. Can’t say I’ve ever considered a holiday there.
Cheers Juan, it’s on my radar now.
