During the siesta hours when temperature rises up to 30 degrees celsius, the whole town seems asleep. But on cloudy afternoons it is normal to see plenty of foreigners spending the day in San Carlos. It is hard to imagine celebrities like Shakira, Roberto Giordano or Francis Mallman visiting such a quiet place.<\/p>\n<p>If the trendiest places are in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/our-communities\/punta-del-este\/\">Punta del Este<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/our-communities\/la-barra\/\">La Barra<\/a> or Jos\u00e9 Ign\u00e1cio, why would they come to a quiet place far away from the crowd? Like many other celebrities, Europeans, Americans, Argentines and Brazilians venture into the cobblestone streets of San Carlos to find antique treasures for their summer homes and chacras near the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the 28,000 habitants of San Carlos live from the tourist activities in summer and construction work in winter. The majority commutes to work at hotels, buildings and shops of Punta del Este. This is why the town seems empty during most part of the day allowing visitors to stroll without any hurry along the empty streets.<\/p>\n<p>In the past decades San Carlos was mostly famous for the specially woven jerseys of excellent quality but this factory closed down. In recent years, different places have gathered old furniture and decorative items from the vast territory of Maldonado. Many old farms from the area have been sold to new owners and antique pieces are stored in several auction shops of San Carlos waiting for their new owners.<\/p>\n<h3>Auctions, Welders and Carpenters in San Carlos<\/h3>\n<p>The most popular auction places are Dogomar Mart\u00ednez, Torres Remates and La Forcheta. The trend of the region of Maldonado is to find unique pieces with a certain old style country look for summer homes by the sea. Auctions are not the only popular stores, the restorers also work proudly on the selected pieces and adapt them for new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/blog\/uruguay-bucket-list\/\">destinations<\/a>.\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.5em\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15448\" style=\"width: 155px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-17-at-11.32.44-AM.jpg\" alt=\"Torres Remates San Carlos \" width=\"155\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-17-at-11.32.44-AM.jpg 155w, https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-17-at-11.32.44-AM-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 155px) 100vw, 155px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Torres Remates San Carlos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Welders and carpenters are kept busy restoring pieces or creating new ones. The peak months are between November and February. Francis Mallmann bought all the decoration for his hotel in<a title=\"Garzon, Uruguay\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/our-communities\/garzon\/\"> Garz\u00f3n<\/a> at the Herrer\u00eda D\u00edaz in San Carlos. Iron gates, stairs, original fountains and garden decoration are scattered all around the shop and tempting any person passing by to imagine how they would look at their homes. Lazaga nearby, is also another factory of original creations including furniture and house decoration. During the year he travels around Uruguay finding interesting items for his clients.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Very near Lazaga, but in direction to the center of San Carlos, an expert in window making busily restores old glass panels and unique crystal lamps. Sena Cristales has also expanded to Maldonado and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/our-communities\/montevideo\/\">Montevideo<\/a> due to the great demand.<span style=\"font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.5em\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another very much searched item is leather. Talabarteria Benitez attends plenty of foreigners who live on nearby farms, who are looking for saddles, leather boots, bag ponchos, and gaucho attire.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2513\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2513\" style=\"width: 213px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/talabarteria-benitez-san-carlos.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/talabarteria-benitez-san-carlos.jpg\" alt=\"Talabarteria Benitez, San Carlos\" width=\"213\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Talabarteria Benitez, San Carlos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Furniture for hotels such as the Conrad hotel or for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/de\/resources\/restaurants\/\">restaurants<\/a> like<a title=\"La Bourgogne in Punta Del Este\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate-in-uruguay.com\/resources\/la-bourgogone-in-punta-del-este\/\"> La Bourgogne<\/a> is the specialty of the craftmen of <a title=\"Muebleria Batista\" href=\"http:\/\/www.muebleriabatista.com.uy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muebler\u00eda Batista<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These are some of the reasons why celebrities end up strolling freely along the streets of San Carlos.
