Lo de Joselo

Uruguay


For a quintessential Polonio experience, head to this ramshackle bar, overgrown with dense shrubbery and flowering vines. Blind bartender Joselo presides over the funky candlelit interior, serving up licor de butia (alcohol made from local palm fruit), grappamiel (honey-infused grape brandy) and stiff shots of caña (sugarcane alcohol). It's a few paces from the 4WD truck stop toward the lighthouse.
