The section called Rambla Sur , fortified by pink granite walls, was inaugurated on December 30, 1935. Since its construction was largely driven by José Luis Batlle, this section was henceforth popularly called El balcón de Pepe (in German: Pepes balcony ). The Rambla serves both road traffic and pedestrians. It is also part of the city's social life and a tourist attraction. At the beginning of 2010 it was proposed that the Rambla be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List .
