As for seafood…unfortunately I’ve not yet found one in that…a big disappointment so far. Even though it’s on the coast, neither Mar del Sud or Miramar are fishing towns, so not a lot of fresh fish to be found. There are some places in Miramar that have seafood on the menu, but I’ve not tried it. Looks like I’m going to have to venture into Mar del Plata for my seafood.

Thanks for the nice words about my website. I’m going to keep it up even after I move to the coast.

I’ll check the web site, also Hotel Danieli. Both look promising.

May I ask one more question? Is there a seafood restaurant you particularly like in the area?

Have I told you how much I’ve enjoyed your web site in the 3 1/2 years we’ve been living here? I always recommend it to newcomers.

There is a grand, old hotel in Mar del Sud right by the beach. But it’s not been open in over 100 hundred years. :-) Actually, it never opened…fascinating story behind the place & open for tours.

Mar del Sud is mainly holiday homes for rent. There are a couple of small hotels in Mar del Sud, but I’m not sure if they’re yet open for the season. (I’m actually in Buenos Aires now, heading down to Mar del Sud next month for good; otherwise, I would swing by to check if these places were open.)

If you go to the Mar del Sud blog and look around in the comments to various posts, then you’ll send some contact info for people with home rentals. Here’s one web site that I know about with a place that looks nice: http://www.potrerillodelatigra.com.ar/. It’s quite a ways outside of the village of Mar del Sud but looks very relaxing.

In neighboring Miramar I can recommend the Hotel Danieli. It’s right in the middle of town, next to the plaza, but it’s a very comfortable hotel…probably the best in Miramar. We’ve stayed there several times while our house in Mar del Sud is under renovation.

Have a ncie stay. In late November I suspect Mar del Sud may still be almost empty. It’s amazing to be in a little town where you see practically no one.

Since you are no doubt now an old Mar del Sud hand by now, I’m wondering if you could suggest a hotel in the area–quiet, cozy, and charming would be perfect. We’re going to be there for a day or two during the last week in November. Isn’t there a grand old hotel in the vicinity? Thanks for any suggestions.

I know what you’re talking about. There is some new development in Mar del Sud it’s all crowded right next to the beach and on the cliff line. I think it will be about 10 yrs before it gets out to our section and by then we’ll probably be ready to move on anyway.

I actually live in a nice house in a semi-rural area, but lately it became fashionable to come here and the place is being ruined by newcomers since most of them are the typical Argentine-middle-class-with-money-and-no-taste-at-all who tear down all trees because they only care for there expensive cars and swimming pools.

I hope nothing of that will happen to you when you move to Mar del Sud.
