La Cumbre, Argentina

La Cumbre is a small town in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, in a valley known as the "Valle de Punilla".

Initially La Cumbre was part of a community of farms and began to flourish as a town by the time the railway was built in the 1890s.

During the 1920s British families built their holiday homes here, which contributed to the particularly English architectural style of La Cumbre.

For many years there were several English speaking boarding schools in the area, St Marys for girls which was adjacent to the Golf course has now become an old peoples home.

Beyond that a further couple of kilometres [on,] is the [largest school in the town (340 pupils][with an English-Spanish bi-lingual curricula] [St. Paul's] which operates today[,] but no longer taking in boarders and now accepting both boys and girls.
