We re from South Africa staying now for two years in the sierras near Minas! The most beautifull part of Uruguay.
We built a house and laid out some nice gardens the South African way, We planned the house with lots of vies over the sierras and down the valley.
The neighbours are kind and generous - although our Spanish is very basic. But we do understand one another. Also Germans from our old neighboor country Namibia - so we had lots of fun in Afrikaans -our native language.
We love the clean air and fresh food and also the freshness of the people.
