Gualeguaychú's Slaughterhouse

“Frigorífico Gualeguaychú” used to be the base of the town’s economy. This slaughterhouse has been, since the late twenties, a very important part of every citizen life. There is almost no neighbor in town who doesn’t know a relative or friend who worked at the slaughterhouse. The building is still affectionately remembered and it closure is an open wound in the community’s heart.  Today, we expect to highlight this forgotten jewel that marked a turning point in Gualeguaychú’s history.
