Villa de Merlo

Villa de Merlo is a small city in the Department of Junín, Province of San Luis, Argentina.

Additionally, the system of ground transport includes long-distance coaches which travel from different parts of the country to the new terminal in Merlo.

Villa de Merlo is a tourist area with Argentinian nationals, but is less known to Europeans and American, although it has a small ex-pat community.

[citation needed] In 1794, Juan de Videla visited Piedra Blanca and saw that the place was suitable for the foundation of a town, as he afterward informed the Marquess of Sobremonte.

One may see, in Marqués de Sobremonte square, plaques which commemorate the ceremonial founding of the town, and he may visit the old communal well and the chapel of Nuestra Señora del Rosario nearby.
