Mercado del Puerto
The Mercado del Puerto (English: Port Market) is a gastronomic and cultural venue in the Ciudad Vieja neighborhood of Montevideo, Uruguay. Originally built as a covered marketplace, it no longer functions as one and now houses restaurants serving traditional Uruguayan cuisine, with a focus on asado cooked over open-fire parrillas. Named for its proximity to the city's port, Mercado del Puerto is an important tourist site located in Montevideo's historic district. The area also features live tango performances and displays of Uruguayan cultural traditions. It is the site of an annual New Year's Eve midday celebration, where a large-scale street festival takes place featuring a traditional water and cider fight, drawing widespread participation from both local residents and international visitors.
