What is this?

So been having a play with google maps and i found this:

https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid...10736,0.021136

I've done some digging and it appears to be some kind of holiday camp built by Peron back in the 50's?

Any who just wondered if anybody had any more information as its HUGE!

From what I can gather in the comments here, it has been closed for the last three months.

Cheers for the link! Some interesting reading at least. When I first found it I thought it was some kind of motor car test track...

It reminds me of the holiday camp I saw in Estonia which the Russians built for the workers. It lay abandoned as well.

Indeed....

That's the thing with Peronism. It takes examples from select things of Communism, mixed a little with Capitalism and Populism..... quite an explosive mixture if you ask me...

Yes,the conservatives who where before him,where much better
If the ones that where before him,would have done something for the people and maybe give up some of their richness,peron would have never came to power.

Ah... the Robin Hood theory.... what nonsense...

It makes no sense to discuss these things if one mixes everything. Yes, the ruling Elite before Peron came to Power had a lot of negatives, however, the Nation that Peron received when he took office and what he left behind, and what the Party he created has done with this Nation is here now for all to see.... the very few positive things that Peronism did for Argentina are outweighed 800 Gazillion times with the negatives. This entire way of thinking only about entitlements and never about obligations was created by Peronism. Anybody that ignores that and tries to justify Peron and Peronism because of the faults of others is blatantly ignoring the facts.

Peron destroyed the nation,that is for sure,but that doesnt mean that the nation that was before.was a good one,a rich country with a poor people and a small elite of pseudo noblemen ruling it with total disregard for everyone is not a good nation.
Sorry,but the last part of your post smells of american republican ideology,I dont agree with that,I preffer european style social democratic organizations,the country I want argentina to look for is sweden or denmark,not the usa.
I would have preffered of course,the UCR and not Peron to rule.
