"Wander Mendoza’s Plazas Mendoza has suffered devastating earthquakes that have reduced the city to rubble. The earthquake of 1861 destroyed most of the city. Instead of repairing all the damage, the city decided to build a new city center southwest of the original location. They created a large principal plaza—Plaza Independencia—surrounded by four smaller plazas: Plaza San Martin; Plaza Chile; Plaza Italia; and the most picturesque, Plaza Espana. These open spaces created a safe retreat for residents to gather in the event of another destructive earthquake. On weekends the plazas come alive with artisan markets, food vendors, lip-locked lovers and families. Enjoy the people watching and be aware of your belongings."

Fuente y Fonda

Argentinian restaurant · Mendoza

"Fuente y Fonda es un homenaje a las abuelas y mamás que durante mucho tiempo nos alimentaron el corazón, volvamos a compartir una fuente, volvamos a compartir una mesa, no solo se trata de salir con la panza llena. Importante: #Todas las preparaciones son para compartir #Los niños son personas pequeñas pero pueden comer lo mismo que ud. #El postre es cortesía de la casa, llame a su camarero/a y le cuenta. #La carta cambia todas las semanas, por ahí la que viene hay puchero.!! #No usamos frezzer, todo es fresco, si se acaba algo no se enoje."
