Cruz del Eje
Cruz del Eje, in Argentina's Córdoba province, sits alongside its reservoir — completed in 1943 — in a sun-drenched valley known locally as the Cuenca del Sol for its roughly 300 clear days a year. The town is Argentina's leading olive-producing centre and hosts a long-running national olive festival. A railway heritage walk displays historic locomotives and carriages, and the former home of President Arturo Illia, who practised medicine here from 1928 to 1963, is now a museum. The mountains of the Sierras de Córdoba rise nearby.
