PINAMAR ARGENTINA | Pinamar is a seaside town on Argentina’s Atlantic coast | TIME TRAVELER

Pinamar is a seaside town on Argentina’s Atlantic coast. It’s known for its distinctive architecture, with houses set in open gardens, and the surrounding pine forests. Beaches run the length of the waterfront. To the north is an expansive area of sand dunes, known as La Frontera. Just north of the central Jorge Bunge Avenue, named after the town’s architect, is the Tuscan-style Our Lady of Peace Church.

Pinamar is an Argentine coastal resort city located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Buenos Aires Province. It has about 45,000 inhabitants (2020).

Located less than 400 km (249 mi) south of Buenos Aires, it is one of several small seaside communities that line the coast. Since Pinamar's main attraction is the ocean, it is a fairly quiet town during the winter months. Tourism fuels the economy during the summer. Several other coastal towns are right beside Pinamar. If you move south, you will have the towns of Ostende, Valeria del Mar, and finally Cariló.

Two facts set Pinamar apart from most of the other Argentine beach cities: it is a planned city with a very strict building code, and it has been artificially turned from wild sand dunes into a forest (mostly of pine trees, which explains the "pina" in the town's name).

City planning, as defined by founding architect Jorge Bunge and maintained by elected authorities ever since, translates into a city mostly made up of residential houses with open gardens.

Pine planting was originally started in Cariló—a town nearby Villa Gesell and copied in Pinamar, although the city plan for Villa Gesell was not as carefully laid out or kept through the years. @TimeTraveler 1,150 subcribers
