La Blanqueada

La Blanqueada is a barrio (neighbourhood or district) in Uruguay's capital Montevideo.

It borders Tres Cruces to the west, Larrañaga to the northwest, Unión to the northeast and Parque Batlle to the south.

It is home to the Military Hospital.

According to the historian Orestes Araújo, the name of this neighbourhood (derived from blanco, Spanish for "white") was given by an old grocery store all in white.
