Viña del Mar is one of the foremost tourist areas in Chile. Its name means vineyard by the sea, though the vineyards seem to have been overtaken by other forms of growth. It is also known as the "garden city".
The building on the rocks by the sea is Castillo Wolf, Wolf Castle, and above to the left is the Presidential Palace for the President of Chile to use when he wants a seaside break. When I first looked, I misunderstood and thought the President would be in Wolf Castle, right on the edge of the sea. Personally, I would prefer that position but it did seem a little odd.
