Postcard from Buenos Aires...


Wish U were here!

This place is fantastic!

Where men are gentle and women are ladies; a city locked in a beautiful era it cannot afford to leave. A tango culture which is real and vibrant, where everyone enjoys the beat of the street.

The ultimate long weekend where silver service wine and dinner leaves change from a ten pound note, glorious facades peer down at you from every angle of the road, art nouveau and art deco still resplendent, if somewhat dusty...

Ole!, we murmur approvingly to the raw pulsating Flamenco dancers and guitars on a black and white stage; Ole! as we stumble over the heaving paving stones that line San Telmo's curious but glorious past; Ole! as we turn the corners of Cementerio de la Recoleta to view the marble facade of Evita's resting place.

We didn't even get to the football, but Buenos Aires is fun, cheap, civilised, safe and beautiful...

a weekend treat: pop on down when you can!
