Mar del Plata (pronounced [ˈmaɾ ðel ˈplata]) is a resort city in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, situated on the southwestern Atlantic coastline of the Pampas region, and the seat of the partido of General Pueyrredón.[1] It has historically been Argentina's premier seaside resort and an iconic presence in the country's popular culture,[2] being the nation's second most visited destination after the capital Buenos Aires.[3] According to the 2010 census, it is the fifth-most populous city in the country with 593,337 inhabitants.[4] In the 2022 census, which has not published population numbers by towns or cities, the partido of General Pueyrredón—in which Mar del Plata is overwhelmingly the most populated—had a population of 682,605 inhabitants.[5] While there's no officially designated "Greater Mar del Plata" like Greater Buenos Aires or Greater Rosario, the city forms a conurbation that, including its own partido and the neighboring General Alvarado and Mar Chiquita partidos, boasts an estimated population of around 720,335 people.[6]
