Apartments, Montevideo
Avenida 18 de Julio in Montevideo is lined with interesting buildings including this apartment block above a shoe shop (I think).

Doors of Montevideo - Part III
This last one isn't a door, but it is an entrance to the seating area of Montevideo's Estadio Centenario where Uruguay won the first Football World Cup in 1930. How good is this deco plaque celebrating that achievement.

Club Biguá de Villa Biarritz, Montevideo
I can't remember what we saw first, the market or the modernist stadium. In any case we were close to our destination so it was worth getting off the bus and to have a stroll around the market stalls and take in the Club Biguá de Villa Biarritz.

1625 Avenida 18 de Julio, Montevideo
I think this is 1625 Avenida 18 de Julio in Montevideo. My notes are somewhat lacking in the exact detail but certainly the number next to this Art Deco door reads 1625.
