'''Tandil''' is the main city of the homonymous [[Partidos of Buenos Aires|partido]] (department), located in Argentina, in the southeast of [[Buenos Aires Province]], just north-northwest of [[Tandilia hills]]. The city was founded in 1823, and its name originates from the ''[[Piedra Movediza]]'' ("Moving Stone") which fell in 1912. The city is the birthplace of many notable sports personalities, as well as former president of Argentina [[Mauricio Macri]].
