The Paris of the Pampas
The city of the Tango; gray-haired gentlemen working women on the floor, cheek to cheek, hip to hip, breast to breast, steam, heat and cigarette smoke. It is not at all a shady establishment of a company offering you a taste of the oldest industry in history; it is a quite normal all-night milonga in one of Buenos Aires many tango halls!Being the long-troubled capitol of an equally troubled city, the citizens of Buenos Aires have learned to invest in something they find more stable than economy – their culture. Inhabitated by loads of Italians, and virtually being a British outpost in the 1920s, Buenos Aires has been accused for trying to be more European than Europe itself. It seems like the tide has turned, and the rise of the national pride makes for an awesome surf.
The city is bursting wih long avenues, bustling streets, old-time cafes and new stylish restaurants. Wander cobbled streets, marvelling at faded architectural glories and colourfully painted metal houses. Talk world politics and fotbol in atmospheric old cafes.
Tuck into one of the famous Argentinian steaks to power a long nights partying.
