Buenos Aires!

by namidub - last update: Nov 29, 2005

The City

Bienvenido
Some say it Paris of the South, but it is more than that.Inheriting architectures from the French,Italian and Spanish, this city is a really wonderful mix of European touch in a Latin American region.In fact this is the most 'European' city in the whole Latin America!
This city was built mainly by immigrants,thus they call themselves "portenos" Many Argentines living here have descendent coming from Italy,France,Spain or other parts of Europe.
Tango at Esquina Homero Manzi

Tango

This is the home of Tango.The land where it all starts.Carlos Gardel is a name you cant separate from the tango world.Started about a hundred years ago,tango has reached the world with its sensual dancing.
Now you can see tango being displayed at the streets,at tango bars,tango shows and milongas in this city.
Home soil of Boca Juniors

Home of Boca Juniors and River Plate

For those who are familliar with the footballing world, these two names are no stranger.They are the two most important clubs in Argentina which has been producing world class stars, and the most famous of them all is surely the man with the hand of god, Diego Maradona.

Be in Buenos Aires to feel the game of which they dont just enjoy but take it religiously.Crowds may go wild especially these two teams clash head to head.
