My dear travelers and lovers of unusual journeys, welcome to the new series of travelogues on the Mr.M blog. May, as well as the following months, will be dedicated to one unusual continent – South America, I will show you the countries that I had the opportunity to visit and I am sure that you will enjoy it and want to spend your vacation in one of the destinations. At the very beginning of today’s travelogue, where I will try to show you the capital of Argentina – Buenos Aires, I would like to thank the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism), local ministries of tourism, national tourism organizations, as well as other partners who selflessly supported my adventure in South America. With their help, travelogues from several countries were created, as well as numerous fashion stories that you will have the opportunity to read during this series of posts, and I sincerely hope that you will enjoy the new adventure.

Posts from Argentina were created with the selfless help of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism), The Secretariat for Tourism, Environment and Sports of Argentina, Convention Bureau of the City of Buenos Aires and Loi Suites Recoleta Hotel.

Argentina, officially the Republic of Argentina, is a country in the southern half of South America. It covers an area of ​​approximately 2,800,000 km2, making it the second largest country in South America after Brazil, the fourth largest country in the Americas, and the eighth largest country in the world. Argentina shares most of the Southern Cone with Chile to the west, and is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil to the northeast, Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Drake Passage to the south.

Argentina is a federal state divided into 23 provinces and one autonomous city, which is the federal capital and the nation’s largest city, Buenos Aires. The provinces and the capital have their own constitutions, but they exist under a federal system. Argentina claims sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field and part of Antarctica.

The earliest recorded human presence in modern Argentina dates back to the Paleolithic period. The Inca Empire expanded to the northwest of the country in pre-Columbian times. The country has its roots in the Spanish colonization of the region during the 16th century. Argentina rose as the successor state to the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata, a Spanish overseas viceroyalty founded in 1776. The declaration of July 9, 1816 and the struggle for independence (in the period from 1810 to 1825) were followed by a prolonged civil war that lasted until 1880, when it was reorganized as a federation. The country enjoyed relative peace and stability thereafter, with several waves of European immigration, mainly Italian and Spanish, influencing its culture and demographics.

The National Autonomist Party dominated national politics during the period called the Conservative Republic, from 1880 until the 1916 election. The Great Depression led to the first coup d’état in 1930 led by José Félix Uribura, which began the so-called “Infamous Decade” (1930–1943). After that coup, four more followed in 1943, 1955, 1962 and 1966. After the death of President Juan Peron in 1974, his widow and vice president, Isabel Peron, ascended to the presidency, before being ousted in a final coup in 1976. where thousands of political critics, activists and leftists were killed in the Dirty War, a period of state terrorism and civil unrest that lasted until the election of Raúl Alfonsín as president in 1983.

Argentina is a regional power and maintains its historical status as a middle power in international affairs. This country is the main ally of the United States outside of NATO. Argentina is a developing country with the second highest HDI (human development index) in Latin America, after Chile. It maintains the second largest economy in South America and is a member of the G-15 and G20. Argentina is also a founding member of the United Nations, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, Mercosur, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, and the Organization of Ibero-American States.

Buenos Aires, controlled by the government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, is the capital and largest city of the Argentine Republic. It is located in the southwest of Rio de la Plata. Buenos Aires is classified as an Alpha-Global City, according to the Globalization and Global Network for Cities (GaVC) 2024 ranking. The city itself has a population of nearly 3.1 million and an urban area of ​​16.7 million, making it the 20th largest metropolitan area in the world.

The city of Buenos Aires is neither part of the province of Buenos Aires nor its capital, it is an autonomous district. After the civil war in Argentina, in 1880, Buenos Aires was federalized and separated from the Province of Buenos Aires. The city limits were expanded to include the cities of Belgrano and Flores, both now urban areas. With the constitutional amendment of 1994, the city gained autonomy, hence its formal name Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Thus, in 1996, the citizens elected their first head of government, previously the mayor was directly appointed by the president of Argentina.

The conurbation of Greater Buenos Aires includes several surrounding cities, located in neighboring districts of the province of Buenos Aires. It is the fourth most populous metropolitan area in America. It is also the second largest city south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Buenos Aires has the highest human development of any of Argentina’s administrative divisions and its quality of life was ranked 91st in the world in 2018, one of the best in Latin America.

Buenos Aires is known for its preserved eclectic European architecture and rich cultural life. It is a multicultural city that is home to multiple ethnic and religious groups, contributing to its culture as well as the dialect spoken in the city and some other parts of the country. This is because since the 19th century, the city, and the country in general, has been the main recipient of millions of immigrants from all over the world, making it a melting pot where several ethnic groups live together. Thus, Buenos Aires is considered one of the most diverse cities in America.

According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism in Argentina’s capital has grown continuously since 2002. In a survey conducted by travel and tourism publication Travel + Leisure Magazine, visitors voted Buenos Aires as the second most desirable city to visit after Florence, Italy. Buenos Aires is an international hub for a very active and diverse nightlife with bars, dance bars and nightclubs that stay open well past midnight.

Visitors have many travel options such as going to a tango show, an estancia in the province of Buenos Aires, or enjoying a traditional asado. Recently, new tourist circles have developed, dedicated to Argentines such as Carlos Gardel, Eva Perón or Jorge Luis Borges. Before 2011, due to the favorable exchange rate of the Argentine peso, shopping centers such as Alto Palermo, Paseo Alcorta, Patio Bullrich, Abasto de Buenos Aires and Galerías Pasifico were frequented by tourists. Today, the exchange rate significantly hinders tourism and especially shopping. In fact, major fashion brands such as Burberry and Louis Vuitton have left the country due to the exchange rate and import restrictions. The city also hosts music festivals, some of the biggest being Quilmes Rock, Creamfields BA, Ultra Music Festival (Buenos Aires) and Buenos Aires Jazz Festival.

The most popular tourist locations are located in the historic center of the city, more specifically in the Montserrat and San Telmo districts. Buenos Aires was conceived around the Plaza de Mayo, the administrative center of the colony. East of the square is the Casa Rosada, the official seat of the executive branch of Argentina’s government. To the north, the Metropolitan Cathedral which has stood in the same location since colonial times, and the Banco de la Nacion Argentina building, a parcel of land originally owned by Juan de Garay. Other important colonial institutions were the Cabildo, in the west, which was renovated during the construction of Avenida de Mayo and Julio A. Roque. To the south is the Congreso de la Nacion (National Congress), which currently houses the Academia Nacional de la Historia (National Academy of History). Finally, to the northwest is the Town Hall.

Buenos Aires also became known for LGBT tourism, the legalization of same-sex marriage on July 15, 2010, making it the first country in Latin America, the second in the Americas, and the tenth in the world to do so. His Gender Identity Law, passed in 2012, made Argentina “the only country that allows people to change their gender identity without facing obstacles such as hormone therapy, surgery or a psychiatric diagnosis that marks them as having an abnormality.” In 2015, the World Health Organization cited Argentina as an exemplary country for providing transgender rights. Despite these legal advances, however, homophobia remains a hotly contested social issue in the city and the country.

Buenos Aires has different types of accommodation ranging from five-star luxury hotels in the city center to budget hotels located in the suburbs. Regardless, the city’s transportation system provides easy and cheap access to the city. Most of the hotels are located in the central part of the city, in close proximity to most of the main tourist attractions.

What tourist attractions should you visit in Buenos Aires? Teatro Colón is a historic opera house in Buenos Aires. National Geographic considers it one of the ten best opera houses in the world. According to a survey conducted by acoustic expert Leo Beranek among leading international opera and orchestra directors, the Teatro Colón has the best acoustic room for opera and the second best for concerts in the world. The current Colon replaced the original theater that was opened in 1857. At the end of the century, it became clear that a new theater was needed, and after a 20-year process, the current theater opened on May 25, 1908, with the opera Aida by Giuseppe Verdi.

The Teatro Colón was frequented by the most prominent singers and opera companies of the time, sometimes traveling to other cities including Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. After this period of huge international success, the theater’s deterioration became clear and plans were made for a massive renovation. After initial restoration work on the landmark began in 2005, the theater was closed for renovations from October 2006 to May 2010. It reopened on May 24, 2010 with a program for the 2010 season. The theater was declared a national historical monument in 1991.

La Recoleta Cemetery (Spanish: Cementerio de la Recoleta) is a cemetery located in the prestigious neighborhood of Recoleta in Buenos Aires. It contains the graves of notable eminent people, including Eva Perón, presidents of Argentina, Nobel laureates, the founder of the Argentine Navy, and military commanders such as Julio Argentino Roca. In 2011, the BBC named it one of the world’s best cemeteries, and in 2013, CNN included it among the 10 most beautiful cemeteries in the world.

The cemetery covers an area of ​​5.5 hectares and contains 4,691 tombs, all of which are built above ground, of which 94 have been declared national historical monuments by the Argentine government and are protected by the state. The entrance to the cemetery is through neoclassical gates with tall Doric columns. The cemetery contains many elaborate marble mausoleums, decorated with statues, in a wide range of architectural styles such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Baroque and Neo-Gothic, and most of the materials used between 1880 and 1930 in the construction of the tombs were imported from Paris and Milan. In the next blog post, which will be completely dedicated to this site, I will try to provide you with some additional details about this site.

Obelisco de Buenos Aires is a historical monument, which is considered an icon of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. It was built in 1936 to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the first founding of Buenos Aires by Pedro de Mendoza. The work was designed by Argentinian architect Alberto Prebish and built by the German consortium GEOPE-Siemens Bauunion-Grun & Bilfinger. The obelisk has a height of 67.5 meters, culminating in a Roman-style point of about 40 cm. It has a single front door and four windows at its top. It is located in Plaza de la Republica, at the intersection of Corrientes Avenue and 9 de Julio in the San Nicolas neighborhood of Buenos Aires.

Ateneo Grand Splendid is a bookstore located in the Recoleta neighborhood. It stands out for the fact that it is located in the place where the Grand Splendid theater used to be, since it has preserved the original architecture of the said theater, but at the same time it has been re-adapted to function as a bookstore. In 2008, the British newspaper The Guardian chose it as the second most beautiful bookstore in the world, and in 2019, National Geographic declared it the most beautiful in the world.

Located on Santa Fe Avenue in Barrio Norte, the building was designed by architects Pero and Torres Armengol for impresario Max Glicksman, and opened as a theater under the name Teatro Gran Splendid in May 1919. The building of eclectic architecture features ceiling frescoes painted by Italian artist Nazareno Orlandi and caryatids sculpted by Troyano Troyani, whose work also adorns the wreath along the Palacio de la Legislatura de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

The theater had a capacity of 1,050 seats and hosted various performances, including performances by tango artists Carlos Gardel, Francisco Canaro, Roberto Firp and Ignacio Corsini. In 1924, Glucksmann started his own radio station (Radio Splendid), which broadcast from the building where his record company, Nacional Odeon, made some of the early recordings of the great tango singers of the time. At the end of the twenties, the theater was converted into a cinema, and in 1929 the first sound films shown in Argentina were shown.

Today this is one of the most beautiful libraries I have ever seen in my life and I took the opportunity to buy a book in Spanish from a writer I have been looking for a long time because I wanted to get back to learning Spanish.

The Pink House (in Spanish: Casa Rosada) is the presidential work palace of the first man of the Argentine Republic, located in the very heart of Buenos Aires. The palace is officially known as Casa de Gobierno (“House of Government”). Normally, the President lives in Quinta de Olivos, the official residence of the President of Argentina, located in Olivos, Greater Buenos Aires. Casa Rosada’s signature color is baby pink and it is considered one of the most emblematic buildings in Buenos Aires. The building also houses a museum, which contains items related to former presidents of Argentina. It was declared a national historical monument of Argentina.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity (Spanish: Catedral Metropolitana de la Santisima Trinidad) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Buenos Aires. It is located in the city center, overlooking the Plaza de Mayo, at the corner of San Martín and Rivadavia streets in the San Nicolas neighborhood. It is the mother church of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires and had the rank of the primary church of Argentina from 1822 to 2024. The cathedral was declared a national historical monument in 1942.

Plaza de Mayo is the square located in front of the Casa Rosada, the seat of the National Executive. It was created in 1884, as a result of the unification of Plaza de la Victoria and Plaza del Fuerte, by the demolition of the building called Recova Vieja, which separated them. It is located in the place where the second founding of the City took place in 1580. It is located in the Montserrat district, more precisely, in the so-called center of Buenos Aires, surrounded by the streets of Hipolito Yrigoyen, Balcarsa, Avenida Rivadavia and Bolívar in the Montserrat district. From its western side originate three important avenues: President Julio A. Roca, President Roca Sáenz Peña and Avenida de Mayo. In its surroundings there are several main monuments and places of interest: the historic Cabildo, the Casa Rosada (where the executive branch of the nation is located), the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Buenos Aires City Government Building, the headquarters of the Banco Nacion and the headquarters of the Customs Collection and Control Agency.

The Cabildo of Buenos Aires (Spanish: Cabildo de Buenos Aires) is a public building in the city of Buenos Aires, which was used as the seat of the city council during the colonial era and the government house of the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata. The building was also the seat of other institutions, such as the Royal Audience of Buenos Aires, the highest court of second instance in the territory, which operated from April 6, 1661 to January 23, 1812, when it was replaced by the Appeals Chamber. Then, during 1810, the Primera Junta created the Public Library of Buenos Aires, which Cabildo was its first location in two years. However, the institution that worked longer in that building was the prison of Buenos Aires, from 1608 to 1877, when their prisoners were transferred to the missing national penitentiary in Calle Las Heras, when it was inaugurated. The Cabildo was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1933 and opened to the public as a museum in 1938.

What you must not miss if your road leads you to Buenos Aires is the famous Caminito street, which means “little path” in Spanish. Caminito is a street museum and traditional alley, located in La Boca, a district of Buenos Aires. The place gained cultural significance because it inspired the music for the famous tango “Caminito” from 1926, composed by Juan de Dios Filiberto.

In the 1800s, a small stream that flows into the Riachuelo River ran along the same route as where Caminito is now. Later, this area of ​​the stream became known as Puntin, a Genoese diminutive for the small bridge that allowed people to cross the stream there. When the creek dried up, tracks for the Ferrocarril Buenos Aires and Puerto de la Ensenada were laid on the site. Abandoned paths remain at the end of the Caminito, along Via Garibaldi.

In 1954, the railroad was closed, and the area where Caminito was located became a landfill and the laughing stock of the neighborhood. Over the next three years, Argentinian artist Benito Quinquela Martin, who lived nearby, painstakingly prepared the walls facing the deserted street, applying pastel colors and by 1960 had installed a stage at the south end, the wooden plank stage was replaced by a nearby theater in 1972. The artist was a personal friend of Argentine tango composer Juan de Dios Philibert, who created the well-known melody of the same name from 1926.

La Boca (Spanish meaning “The Mouth”, probably of the Matanza River) is a neighborhood (barrio) of Buenos Aires. Its location near the port of Buenos Aires meant that the area became a melting pot of different cultures during the 20th century, when millions of immigrants from Europe and Asia arrived in Argentina. In particular, many of its settlers are originally from the Italian region of Liguria. The neighborhood became a cornerstone of portenjo culture, being an important place during the early development of tango. Today it is mostly known for being the home of Boca Juniors, one of the two biggest soccer teams in Argentina.

After a long general strike in 1882, La Boca seceded from Argentina, and the rebels raised the flag of Genoa, which was immediately torn down by the then president Julio Argentino Rocca. Among sports fans, Boca is best known for being the home of the world famous football club Boca Juniors. The club plays its home games at the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, popularly known as La Bombonera (Spanish: “candy box”).

La Boca was home to the Garra or fighting spirit that was represented in the hard working, no nonsense people of Bari and reflected in the most popular club on the pitch, Boca Juniors. During the first half of the 20th century, the citizens of La Boca were characterized by rejecting “art for art’s sake” and adopting a working-class attitude to work and life, unlike the wealthier citizens of the north, often represented through their River Plate Club. In 1907, La Boca became its own micronational republic. Their first attempt was short-lived, but two later attempts were more successful. The first lasted from 1923 to 1972, and the second was established in 1986. Republican graffiti was still present in the barrio.

Another of Argentina’s most popular clubs, River Plate, originally started in La Boca. However, in 1938 the club moved to the Núñez neighborhood on the northern edge of the city and became more identified with the elite of Buenos Aires than with the lower class citizens of La Boca. Land in and around La Boca was often controlled by the state or wealthy corporations in the first half of the 20th century, due to its location near the docks, which made it difficult for citizens to access soccer fields.

La Boca is a popular destination for tourists visiting Argentina, with its colorful houses and Caminito pedestrian street, where tango dancers perform and tango memorabilia is sold. Other attractions include the La Ribera theater, many tango music clubs and Italian taverns. The area frequented by tourists is only a few blocks long and has been very actively developed for tourism in the last few years, with many markets and restaurants catering to tourists. Outside of this tourist area, it is a fairly poor area where petty crimes are regularly reported.

The Japanese Gardens of Buenos Aires (Spanish: Jardin Japones de Buenos Aires) are a public space managed by the non-profit Japan Argentina Cultural Foundation in Buenos Aires. These gardens are among the largest Japanese gardens in the world outside of Japan.

After the demolition of a similar, smaller garden in the Retiro area, the Japanese Argentine Cultural Foundation secured ownership of 2 hectares at the northeast corner of the city’s large Tres de Febrero park for the purpose of creating a replacement park. Completed in 1967, the gardens were officially opened on the occasion of the state visit of the then Crown Prince Akihito and Japanese Princess Michiko to Argentina.

One of the garden’s entrances leading to Figueroa Alcorta Avenue led to the garden’s cultural center, a restaurant, a greenhouse known for its collection of bonsai trees, and a gift shop with a large selection of Asian garden seeds, as well as handicrafts made by artisans on the grounds. The central lake is crossed by the Divine Bridge, which traditionally represents the entrance to heaven, and the Trunk Bridge, which leads to an island where Japanese medicinal herbs are grown.

The lake is surrounded by the flora of Japan, such as sakura, katsura, momiji and azalea. In the park, however, there are also complementary species that originate from South America, especially type trees and silk trees. The lake itself is inhabited by carp. A small number of epiphytic bromeliads of the genus Tillandsia can be seen, as well as one orchid of the widespread and diverse genus Oncidium. The park is also adorned with a Japanese peace bell and a large ishidoro, as well as numerous other granite sculptures. A Japanese Buddhist temple is maintained on the grounds and the Institute also hosts regular cultural activities for the general public. Alfred Zucker designed an outdoor theater for the park.

Argentine tango is a musical genre and accompanying social dance that originated at the end of the 19th century in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. It usually has a 2/4 or 4/4 time signature and two or three parts that repeat in patterns such as ABAB or ABCAC. His lyrics are marked by nostalgia, sadness and lamentation for lost love. A typical orchestra has several melodic instruments and the bandoneon gives it a special look. It continued to grow in popularity and spread internationally, adding modern elements without replacing the older ones. Among its leading figures are singer-songwriter Carlos Gardel and composers/performers Francisco Canaro, Juan D’Arienzo, Carlos Di Sarli, Osvaldo Pugliese, Elvira Santamaria and Astor Piazzolla.

The origins of the Argentine Tango are unclear as there are few historical documents from that era. In recent years, several tango lovers have undertaken a thorough investigation of that history, so that today it is less mysterious than before. The dance is generally considered to have developed in the late 19th century in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was practiced by Argentine dancers, musicians, and immigrant workers. Like other Latin American countries, Argentine elites rejected racial mixing with darker-skinned Argentines. Argentinians repeated the stereotypes that were common in Europe in the colonial era: non-white people were forced to live in the ghetto. Tango was practiced in the streets and in the courtyards, especially in the dark corners of the streets. In addition, Afro-Argentines played an important role in the evolution both musically and choreographically of the early tango. The term “tango” originated from Afro-Argentine dance forms, and black people were still associated with tango well into the 20th century. Tango developed as an expression of the political struggle of the black community and was loved by many immigrants who lived in poverty and wanted to change their socio-economic situation.

Argentine elites viewed tango as a dangerous association of people and a gathering place for the lower class. However, as famous tango stars such as Alberto Castillo gained popularity in Argentina, a positive image of blackness associated with tango began to spread in Argentine mass culture during the 1930s to 1950s. Tango lyrics often challenge the images of Argentina created by foreigners: the real Argentina was a country with black and white people who created tango, not rich people who danced the foxtrot. In addition, Argentine tango lyrics presented humility as a major theme, and mass culture promoted tango to encourage humility as a national identity.
