There’s so little information available about Uruguay, that having lived in this great, small country for fifteen years, I thought it was about time I helped fill the gap. Everything I write is based on my personal experience and sometimes on comments and suggestions from the amazing guests we receive at , the art-deco guesthouse my partner and I run in the (Old City). 12,000+ people visit Guru’guay every month reading more than 25,000 pages. When you stay in Casa Sarandi, I can give you the inside scoop in person – even before you arrive if that’s what you need. But whether you stay in our guesthouse or not, feel free to get back to me on anything you’d like me to cover in Guru’guay – I love people to have the best time possible when they visit Uruguay. You can write to me here, or on or . Thanks to my old friend Lesley Davies-Evans who came up with the title for this blog. I LOVE it, though the mantel weighs heavily 😉�
