If its a main resort destination, I take its mostly people from Buenos Aires that go there? What about argies from Rosario, Cordoba, etc?

Hi,
Trantor!
The population that lives in Mar del Plata the complete year is aproximately 600,000 ha and the city has a real development as an autonomous center.
But recieves more than 3,000,000 milion tourists each year, not only from Buenos Aires, but specially from all the country. Mar del Plata is not near Buenos Aires. We have to make 400 kms!! So as you said, a lot of apartments remains closed during winter. Despite of this, a lot of 'porteños' go there in winter for weekends.
Do you live in Sao Paulo? Why don't you open a thead of Santos here? I would like to see pics of that place!
Totu
