Buenos Aires — Argentina
The beautiful architecture and rich history of Buenos Aires combine with its Spanish and Italian heritage into an exciting mix of urban sprawl and period architecture that mimics the capitals of Europe.
We arrived to BA by ferry from Uruguay and stayed in a central located trendy neighbourhood called Palermo. Taking a walking tour, we got to explore the city, see the sights and hear about the fascinating history of Argentina.
The walking tour ended at “La Recoleta Cemetery” where many famous people are buried including the First Lady Eva Perón.
The place we stayed in Palermo was called the Trash Art Center & Humboldt Apart. The outside was painted with cool street art and the inside was filled with recycled trash art.
I had read online that Buenos Aires is famous for Pizza due to its Italian immigrant heritage. We decided to taste the wares at the most famous Pizzeria in BA called Güerrin; operating since 1932.
A trip to Buenos Aires wouldn’t be complete without dancing the Tango. We went to a Tango / Salsa dancing class one evening and had a hilarious time stepping on each others toes and getting everything wrong.
