• La Barra - coastal "place to be" (somewhat deserted in winter)
• ​La Barra Transformation
• La Barra - the old fishing village
• La Barra - Uruguay Natural​

Pueblo Edén - a small picturesque village in the hills.  It's worth the drive to see the change in topography from coastal plains to hillsides full of olive plantations and vineyards. There's a great coffee shop and cafe - La Casita de Chocolate.  In August there's an Aniversario celebration with a Gaucho Parade.
