Mar del Plata

Mar del Plata is a resort city on Argentina's Atlantic coast. Its long string of beaches includes the wide Punta Mogotes and Playa Grande, with its surf breaks. Behind Playa Grande, the tree-lined streets of the Los Troncos neighborhood have elegant early-20th-century houses that are now museums. These include the Roberto T. Barili History Museum, which traces the city's past through photographs and objects.
