This you must see, colourful cats. Two cats, four cats, cat in a bathroom, couple in a bar watched by a cat.
I also love the fantasy hotel - it's a village, house, museum. A must see. The artist lived here and kept adding on rooms. He lived to the age of 90. It looks so light and white against the blue sky.
Then the cats are vivid colours.
Hotel With Pool and Poetry
If you want to stay in the hotel, it has rooms, apartments and a heated swimming pool. Every evening before sunset they play a recording of the late artist reading a poem saying goodbye to the sun. You don't get that everywhere.
Cat Paintings
The paintings are quirky. They look simple, but are full of patterns. Sometimes the figures of animals or people's faces are edged with black. Other times the black line is further in, echoing the edge. The curves and semicircles and lines run parallel.
Casa Pueblo Museum
Punta Ballena (8 miles from Punta Del Este). The name ballena comes from the whales - yes, there's whale watching seasonally.
Summer High season is December to February.
