Abastos and other Buenos Aires, Argentina Shopping Tips

Name of Shop: Corrientes

One of the best shopings centre in buenos aires ...quite further from the Florida str or the downtown because its going up Corrientes boulevard at least for 25 blocks or 2.5 km from 9 de Julio Avenue ..once inside its a gorgeous architectural style and crowded by trendy clothes shops ....cinemas and place to relax and drink something...but the main activity there is getting Euros, pounds or Dollars be crazy buying all kind of stuff thanks to the low prices of everything !!
National brands are really good and so cheap and international ones maybe 60 or 70 % cheaper than in Europe !!

What To Buy: men and women clothes

What To Pay: not much really .... a quicksilver t shirt could cost in europe around 60 euros ..so expect to pay just 12 or 15 there !!!!!!

Name of Shop: Maradona Souvenirs

For those who love football and specially Maradona this is the best place to purchase anything from him.. forget the downtown where all is the typical souvenir with no special style....here there is more sort of t-shirt and a special department just for stuff from him !! its just in front of the Bombonera main gate where there is a souvenir shop more trendy but more expensive as well.... try to buy something on this stall ...cheaper and more things to see ..there is no chance to pay in credit card or euros...just in pesos or american dollars !!
Maradona t-shirts i could remember that costed around 50 pesos
there are also mate cups , bombillas ...everything is there!!

Name of Shop: cinemas

This is the trendy or chic area called recoleta where you find "expensive" for locals restaurants trendy shops, people clad in more european clothes..the shopping is quite huge but not like Abastos ...its located just in front of the graveyard wall and outside there are some good restaurants where eat empanadas or pizza or whatever... its nice to visit it because its at hand of plaza Francia and you can enjoy in the afternoon there and afterwards take something to eat or an ice creamwalking by junin street
