Talk:Sierra del Plata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] del or de la?

What's the source for this article? Why is it Sierra del Plata instead of Sierra de la Plata? Tomer^talk 17:15, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Because the "metal" in "Sierra del metal Plata" is elided. The "de la" in Rio de la Plata refers to the sierra, because the hope was that the river would lead to the sierra. Fascinating, isn't it? ThePedanticPrick 17:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
