A short car ride away from Punta del Este in Uruguay is Jose Ignacio and its brick lighthouse. Location to one great lighthouse theme movie: The Lighthouse. This village is known locally not only for its lighthouse but for the spectacular sunsets, and have emerged as getaway for the rich and famous, including Argentine celebrities and people like the British novelist Martin Amis, whose wife, the writer Isabel Fonseca, is half Uruguayan. José Ignacio, Mr. Amis said in a newspaper interview not too long ago, is the ideal place to escape "the world hum" that is "too much in our ears now."
