Mar del Plata, Coastal resort destination in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Located 370 kilometers south of Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata extends along 30 kilometers of Atlantic coastline with numerous beaches and fishing ports.
The Portuguese explorer José Coelho de Meyrelles established a fishing settlement called La Peregrina in 1856, introducing the first meat processing facility in the region.
The Mar del Plata International Film Festival attracts cinema professionals and enthusiasts, while the city maintains multiple museums dedicated to art and maritime history.
The tourist season runs from November through April, with direct transportation connections via air, rail, and road from Buenos Aires and other major cities.
The city features a distinct architectural style known as Mar del Plata Style, characterized by small stone-faced summer residences built during the early 1900s.
