Just what we expected, and so much more - BA is a huge and busy city and just as they say, electrifying. It is full of passionate people, stunning architecture, and has a heavy European influence. We loved our time here!
Some of our highlights:
- The leafy suburb of Palermo, where we stayed and spent time strolling through the subneighbourhoods of Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood
- The fascinating Cementerio de la Recoleta, which is like a small city and where the Famous Evita is buried, along with BA´s rich and famous
- A late night Tango show at Cafe Tortoni, BA´s oldest cafe
- Fantastic and cheap meals of steak!
- Visiting the working class barrio (suburb) of La Boca - home to the famous Boca Juniors football team and Caminito, a street of brightly coloured old corrugated buildings, artists and tango dancers
- Finding good coffee spots! A favourite was Oui Oui, a tiny French bistro in Palermo filled with everything cute and serving excellent coffee
- Experiencing the crazy atmosphere of a local football game with the supporters singing and chanting nonstop throughout the entire match!
We have now adjusted to hot weather, eating dinner after 10pm and communicating via lots of hand signals! We´re looking forward to coming back to Argentina after our next stop - Brazil.
