-------------------------------
Granadero Baigorria is a city in the south of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina, located directly north of Rosario, on the western shore of the Paraná River, and forming part of the Greater Rosario metropolitan area. Its population is about 43,000 inhabitants.
Granadero Baigorria is named after a cavalry soldier of the Mounted Granadiers (Granaderos a Caballo) who fought for General José de San Martín in the battle of San Lorenzo on 3 February 1813, the first of the Argentine War of Independence.
The city features a camping site, beaches, and several islands on the Paraná. Cultural spotlights include an Artisans' Square, a museum, and several churches and shrines. Granadero Baigorria is also home to the first Portland cement factory in Argentina.
There is a small natural reserve about 1.5 km from the border with Rosario (Reserva Natural Playa Granadero Baigorria), which is the only one of its kind in this part of the province, and the last remaining fully natural area, featuring trees such as ceibos and ombúes. This reserve has been endangered through lack of proper care of the authorities, who have allowed private persons to occupy it.
The city has a large public (provincial) hospital, Hospital Escuela Eva Perón, which together with two other such hospitals in Rosario supply free medical services to the populous metropolitan area around it.
