This is the viaduct coming from Quilmes city and passing over the Riachuelo you get Buenos Aires Capital and la Boca as its first neighbourhood

Located in Quilmes municipality ..southwards from the capital.... i dont know if theres much to see but i went to the gorgeous and huge "cerveceria" just amidst a fabolous resort well kept ....where i ate and drink a lot ..all was really cheap and theres a souvenirs shop
If you are interested the best way to get there is take a cab from capital or any remis from quilmes quarter

Its an absolutely off beaten path tip !!! ..located in at all touristic place i could enjoy just sitting meanwhile those elder men were playing chess...and some homeless trying to find something more fun that arrange all its stuff !

Located upwards from Miserere square in a worker's quarter amidst Corrientes and Rivadabia boulevard doesnt have any special to see if you are looking for highlights ... but such things dont impress me so much...i rather to walk alone quietly just looking at hidden or normal things as people lifes !!
that was a good place to enjoy like i fancy much !!

Off The Beaten Path: Miserere square

Unfortunatelly this square and surrounding became famous dued to the fire into a disco Xmas 05' when almost 200 young people died inside...it was a Callejeros performance and sth was wrong and a fire involved people inside and couldnt go out because the fire extinguisher or the emergency exits doesnt work !!!
Now there is a memorial in Miserere square corner where there are a lot of placards and personal stuff of them ..

Miserere square is a bus hub full of people waiting for this bus and a central square at all touristic but quite safe for my eyes

Off The Beaten Path: Vicente Lopez Square

Located in the chic area just a few blocks of Santa Fe avenue....full of trendy shops and far away from the Bs Aires poverty...its so different ..its so relaxing and you can walk easily in wide sidewalks dont be harm or alarmed by nothing
Vicente lopez sq is amidst recoleta graveyard and its village and Santa Fe av...on the way to Recoleta pubs and plaza Francia ... nice to see but at the same time nothing special to see... just a contrast among the rich and poor Bs Aires

i had a good experience with these kids ...they were "playing" and kicking themselves as way to have fun... they also had some a pencil and some sheets to draw caricatures from people who accept the deal !! its better this than try to rob on the streets i guess... i accepted and i keep it with me at home....the most exciting moment was when they are waiting for the money and i gave them 10 pesos ! you had to see their faces...they coudnt believe that..because its so much money for them just 3 euros for me and i guessed it worth while for the reason i explained before ..they were so kind really kind
