Coronel Pringles

Coronel Pringles (Spanish: [koɾoˈnel ˈpɾiŋgles]) is a city in the south of the Buenos Aires Province in Argentina, situated near the mountains of Pillahuincó.

In 1882, the provincial government of Buenos Aires created the partido ("civil parish") of Coronel Pringles by dividing the territory of Tres Arroyos into the partidos of Coronel Suárez, Tres Arroyos and Coronel Pringles.

The latter, and its main town, were named after Coronel Juan Pascual Pringles, a member of grenadiers regiment of General San Martín's army that fought in the wars of independence against the Spanish.

Its main economic activities are agriculture, and sheep and cattle raising.

Passenger service to Buenos Aires (twice weekly) and Bahia Blanca (twice weekly) operated by Ferrobaires on the Constitución - Bahía Blanca (vía Pringles) line [1]
