Caminito
July 24, 2009

 

Song ”Caminito”, by Carlos Gardel.

One thing I admire in Buenos Aires is its ability to renew areas that were destroyed, abandoned, dirty or ugly transforming them into places of high tourist appeal. This happened with Puerto Madero and with a small street in the neighborhood of La Boca called Caminito. Click here to continue reading…

Cementerio de la Recoleta
July 16, 2009

Tomb of Dorrego-Ortiz Basualdo family. Architecture by Louis Dubois and sculpture by Giovanni Villa.

One of the most famous tourist places of Buenos Aires is the Cementerio de la Recoleta (La Recoleta Cemetery). 

For many, it is a place of sadness, memories and… tourists. Besides the suffering, many people see the cemetery as a place to know a little more about the history of Argentina: there you can cross with the graves of great personalities who currently lend their names to the streets of the city: Miguel de Azcuénaga, Hipólito Yrigoyen, Juan Lavalle, Carlos Pellegrini, Honorio Pueyrredón, Domingo Sarmiento… You can also enjoy of some works of art through the sculptures and architecture of the mausoleums and tombs (there are more than 90 vaults declared National Historic Monument).

Influenza A (of Argentina)
July 6, 2009

Afraid to travel to Buenos Aires?

When the first cases of swine influenza appeared in Mexico in late April this year, we were not in Argentina. We come back on May 2nd, and at the Ezeiza airport all staff were wearing masks. The feeling of panic was already in the air. At that time, Argentina had suspended all flights coming from Mexico, and there was no case of the flu here. 

Over the days, the first case of influenza A was confirmed in the country, and from there, the panic only grew. After almost 20 days, the Argentine government has authorized the flights coming from Mexico and, on May 20, a flight with Argentines who were hindered to come back, arrived.
