Pocitos is a trendy seaside district in Montevideo. I must say that while living in Montevideo I didn’t really visit many different parts of the city, but Pocitos was one I did enjoy.

Pocitos has an amazing seafront promenade, which on a summer night seemed amazing.
It was also the nearest beach to my flat.

Wesley from Hong Kong was my good mate for a few days in Montevideo. We ate together and saw round the city together.
