Colonia del Sacramento

Colonia del Sacramento is little town with an intriguing history, founded by the Portuguese. The Spanish later conquered it when they tried to take total control over the Buenos Aires-area. It is now a very touristy place, full of restaurants and bars and it sort of priced me away fairly rapidly.

There are many features around like walls, cannons, winding cobbled streets, a lighthouse, museums and small churches. Colonia would be good for maybe a couple of days for the one who got plenty of time.
