What is the photo´s building?

This Building is Palacio Salvo, in front of Independencia Square, and it was inaugurated in 1928. His Architecht Palanti received the order of Salvo Brothers to construct a 100 mts high building.

It is 90 mts high, and it was the highest one in South America at this time. Was built for being an hotel but it never happend. In 1950 was sold like a condominium with it 370 apts. Here lived famous writers, painters, and another interesting people.

For constructing the bulding, desappear Cafe La Giralda , the place where Mattos Rodriguez played for first time in 1917 the Tango La Cumparsita.

Datos Personales

Soy Psicóloga, con especialidad en Psicología Social de la Universidad de la República Oriental del Uruguay. Hace cinco años empece a desempeñarme como Guía de Turismo, donde mis conocimientos me son muy útiles para el trato con la gente. Me gusta organizar los Tours de acuerdo a los gustos del turista, por ciudad, las mas conocidas son Montevideo, Colonia, Patrimonio Histórico de la Humanidad y el Balneario más importante Punta del Este, pero Uruguay tiene un Litoral hermoso con aguas termales, y desde Punta del Este hacia la frontera terrestre con Brasil playas hermosas donde se puede alquilar cabañas , hacer circuitos turísticos en la zona de Rocha o Eco turismo en el Centro del país. También hay estancias turísticas, se pueden organizar circuitos culturales, visitas a museos , sinagogas, iglesias, bodegas, existe muy buena gastronomía y en particular nuestro típico asado, todo esto es lo que yo intento ofrecer al interesado.
Te estoy esperando en Uruguay, seras bienvenido!!!!!!

Personal Profile

I am a psychologist, with specialization in Social Psychology, and
graduated from the Universidad de la República Oriental del Uruguay.
During the past five years, I have been working as Tourists Guide,
where I use my background to understand the human and cultural aspects
of the tourists I have been working with. Perhaps for that reason I
decided to plan my guided tours thinking of the particularities of
each tourist or group of tourists, organizing them by city. The more
known cities are Montevideo, Colonia (which is under UNESCO list of
World Cultural Heritage since December 6, 1995), and, the most
important, the city of Punta del Este. However, Uruguay has an
extremely beautiful Western coastline with Spring waters. And, from
Punta del Este to the Uruguay-Brazil border, beautiful beaches where
the tourist can rent cabins, take advantage of the different local
tours in the Rocha region, or Eco-tours in the interior of the
country. There also are "estancias turísticas" (touristic ranches),
cultural tours, visiting from museums to churches, sinagogues, and
wine houses. There is also an attractive gastronomic series of
options, particularly the Uruguayan asado. This is what I can offer as
a tourist guide to you.
I am waiting for you in Uruguay!! You are welcome here!!
