Buenos Aires, Argentina

 Buenos Aires is an amazing city! Probably in my top ten cities in the world. There is a special mix of European descents and latin culture that charms everyone in this city. The architecture resembles to the one in Paris and city is bustling with cafes, restaurants, bars, theaters, cinemas, shops, etc. The "portenos" (as they call the inhabitants of this city) are really outgoing people; on a Saturday evening, most of the population will be out and about.

  I have lived many years in this city and really enjoyed discovering it. The people are cultivated and educated. They really enjoyed having a relaxed lifestyle and will always be open to spontaneous conversations with strangers. The tango, which I learned to dance many years back, is a sensual and intense dance which is THE couple dance of the world. You can learn to dance tango in Buenos Aires at almost anytime of the day in several parts of the city and you can dance days and night.
 The "parrilla" is the BBQ of Argentina and they do have some excellent meat to serve on your plate. They love their BBQ and they are proud of it with reason. There are so many places in the city to eat some nice "parrilla" meat.
 Football (soccer) is another shared passion of Argentine people and their national team as won several world title.
