Parador Rosalina are bungalows in Santa Elena Town besides Parana River in Argentina (South America). A perfect place to visti for fishing or unwind.
"Santa Elena is a town of 15,000 people in Entre Rios Province, 729 kilometers upstream from Buenos Aires on the Parana River. It is five hours by road from Argentina's capital. The town is home to a world-class meat-packing plant that supplies international markets with corned beef, extract of meat and other beef products. The factory is capable of handling 1,000 head of cattle per day.
The factory was operated for many years by Bovril Ltd. of London, England, until it was sold to Cavenham Ltd. also of London. It was subsequently resold to Argentine owners and is currently up for sale. Interested parties in the international meat industry may request details from the Santa Elena Town Council.
Santa Elena has a nine-hole golf course and offers excellent dorado fishing on the mighty Parana River (Argentina's counterpart to the Mississippi), which at this point is about a mile wide. The dorado is a hard-fighting golden carp best trolled for with a silvery spoon lure. The town also offers tennis courts, hunting and water sports.
Located in rolling, partly wooded cattle-raising country, Santa Elena is home to 201 species of birds. A former manager of the factory, Currell H. Smyth, an enthusiastic ornithologist, made a collection of wild birds' eggs of all these species and donated it to the Buenos Aires Natural History Museum. Among the local species are the swallows that migrate every year to San Juan Capistrano, California, heralding the arrival of spring and the end of the Northern Hemisphere winter. Santa Elena residents would be glad to consider a sister cities relationship with any California city to which they are linked by the yearly migration of the swallows. Winter there is summer here, and autumn here is springtime there".
