Montevideo: city of bookstores and libraries
Hi I am Jorge! I am a journalist with 20 years of experience in radio and television, curious and attentive to the symbols of a key place from a geopolitical point of view from its foundation to this day. I love my city and I love to share what I know about it with each new visitor. Some song will accompany our tour and also information about Montevidean mysteries.
Pickup
I will be on the steps of the main building of the National Library wearing a red hat or cap.
