Carrasco is a barrio (neighbourhood or district) in Montevideo, Uruguay. Located on the city's southeast coast, the barrio was originally an elegant seaside resort. It eventually became the city's most exclusive suburb and is regarded as one of the city's most expensive neighbourhoods. It features a wide range of architectural styles.
Carrasco borders Punta Gorda to the west, Carrasco Norte to the north, Canelones Department to the east and the coastline to the south.
Part of the seafront avenue along Carrasco is named Rambla Tomás Berreta and across it stretches the beach of Carrasco.
Its main street Alfredo Arocena, named after its founder, ends at the beach.
The Carrasco Creek separates this neighbourhood from Canelones Department.
Although there are no universities in the area of Carrasco, this barrio (together with adjacent Carrasco Norte) is home to many independent schools including: Woodlands School, Saint Patrick's College,[1] Preuniversitario Carrasco,[2] Scuola Italiana di Montevideo,[3] The British Schools and the Uruguayan American School, which has 32 nationalities amongst its 300 students.[4]
