The Pink House (House of the National Government)
by pili
Located in Balcarce 50, the building is known as the "Pink House". It was the argentine government center since the First Government Board in 1810. President Sarmiento decided its pink colour, in 1873. Pink symbolize the union of political sectors. Red was the colour of federal party, guided by Juan Manuel de Rosas, and white, the colour of the unitary opponents.

El Presidente Sarmiento decidió que se lo pinte de rosa en 1873. Rojo era el color de los "federales", guiados por Juan Manuel de Rosas y blanco, el color de los "unitarios" oponentes.-
Great old spa
by ncoutroulis
This is a great old place in B.A. It's sort of a men's club. There is a turkish bath, sauna, steam room (where old men play dominos), massages etc. There's also a fitness center, and I think women might be allowed in there. The place really has a grat old look to it. It's definitely a locals only spot, and a great experience.

Vicente Lopez Square
by DPando
Located in the chic area just a few blocks of Santa Fe avenue....full of trendy shops and far away from the Bs Aires poverty...its so different ..its so relaxing and you can walk easily in wide sidewalks dont be harm or alarmed by nothing
Vicente lopez sq is amidst recoleta graveyard and its village and Santa Fe av...on the way to Recoleta pubs and plaza Francia ... nice to see but at the same time nothing special to see... just a contrast among the rich and poor Bs Aires
b1bob's Buenos Aires shopping tip nº 8
by b1bob about Ayres
Before any of y'all get the wrong idea about me writing up a clothing store for the fairer sex, the original intent of the photo was a joke. See, a good friend of mine in the States has the last name of Ayres. This shop is located in a fairly decent neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, though not quite as snooty as the Recoleta or the calle Florida. All manner of women's clothes. Judging by the location, I would say that it is on the high-end by Buenos Aires standards, but maybe still a bargain in the eyes of American or European tourists.
