It was a new spectacular sunset at the parador OVO of Hotel Enjoyand many people enjoyed the drinks and the sunset, with its magical colors, with the unique surroundings of Punta, the Gorriti Island and the Mansa beach. On the one hand, two friends – Uruguayan and Argentine – exchanged news and anecdotes about their businesses, linked to fashion, commenting on new trends and putting their expert eye – with little concealment – on the outfits of that afternoon. Strong prints, lots of oversized clothing and unbranded linen shirts, but unmistakably European.
A little further away the relaxed atmosphere was the same, but the theme was very different. The president of River Plate from Argentina, a club leader Flamengo from Brazil (two of the clubs with the most fans in the world) agreed to the transfer of the Uruguayan footballer Nico de la Cruz, who goes from millionaire to “mengao”.. Nico himself was also present, smiling and – according to those close to him -, excited about his arrival in Brazil. They were all staying at the Enjoy, the emblematic hotel in Punta del Estewhich these days was full of Brazilians who came to spend the reveillón.
Northerners are becoming more and more noticeable around this time in the East. “For them, Punta is ‘chic’,” explains a Uruguayan businessman with ties to Brazil for years, imitating the Brazilian way of saying chic. “Notice that here they can come, go out in their cars, the ladies show off their jewelry, with complete peace of mind; something they cannot do so easily in Brazil,” he adds.
The Argentine movement is calmer, due to the circumstances of the economy. But in the area of Jose Ignaciothe large neighboring businessmen, many of whom reside in Uruguaythey are present. The footprint It is the restaurant chosen for lunch; Favorite dish: grilled sea bass. And for dessert the chocolate mousse. “Some drive many kilometers just to come and try it,” they point out at the parador, while they prepare the tables to receive the diners. Impossible to go without reservation.
No return
“This is simple: Punta del Este “There is no turning back, there are no setbacks, it is always moving forward,” said an Argentine real estate developer emphatically, who is putting a lot of money into the development of Maldonado. In the exchange with other colleagues and some journalists, he sought to convince an architect friend to set up his studio in the East and spend all or part of the year there. “Look at the following,” he continued arguing, “it is already confirmed that for the second half of this year the British Hospital here; It is a top institution here in Uruguay, on the health issue,” he noted. Indeed, those close to the decision estimate that the British could generate close to 200 high-level jobs with the new initiative.
The institution will largely work with health insurance to serve members who are residing or vacationing in the East, so it must provide a service of the highest quality. “That’s why I’m telling you,” the investor continued, enthusiastically, “that it’s no longer just about real estate investment in apartments or residences, which are still full, now we’re talking about schools, sanatoriums and other services that aim for more permanent and constant development.” , he concluded, while taking a sip of the whiskey, already almost certain that he had convinced his friend.
Argimon
The vice president Beatriz Argimon has been very active these days in the East. It has been present at various social events, linked to fashion, tourism, etc.; and this week he attended -as in other years- the Republic of La Pueblathat “small country” that has created Stagnari Winery and where Argimón is chancellor. La Puebla is a space for meeting and enjoying its good wines. Other members of the government, businessmen, journalists and lovers of good wine, in general, were also present. Two communicators with great experience in Uruguay were honored at the event: Sergio Puglia and Juan Carlos Lopez.
