Las Toninas
Las Toninas is a town in La Costa Partido of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. ==Overview== Founded in 1960, Las Toninas was christened in honor of the Commerson's dolphin (known locally as a ''tonina''). The shore had been the site of a shipwreck in 1883 of a commercial vessel registered in the British Empire, whose captain settled nearby and established the Estancia Los Ingleses.〔(Viajo por Argentina: Ruta Provincial 11 )〕 The shore at Las Toninas is distinguishable from its sister communities' by the extensive growth of tamarix bushes. These were used to create a hedge maze as a tourist attraction, and the 6,400 m² (16,000 ft²) maze is touted locally as the nation's largest. Las Toninas is also known as the "Fiber Optical Capital" in Argentina; because it is the single point where submarine optical fiber networks reach Argentina via several landing cable stations, by companies such as Level 3 (with its SAC ring), TIWS (Atlantis 2), Telecom-Antel (Bicentenario cable system), and Telefónica (SAM 1). The town was chosen because its coastline was not as rocky as others in the region.
