Argentinian wines
by jakelorenzo
One great thing about Argentina is the wine. It is world class and it is relatively inexpensive. Whenever we are in Argentina we focus on malbec. While there are some very decent cabs, syrahs and tempranillos, we find the malbecs much more reliable. 2006 was one of the best vintages ever in Argentina. (It looks like 2008 will be another terrific vintage.) When choosing wine vintage is most important.
On our most recent trip (March 2008) we found some bargain priced favorites. We recommend them to you: Phebus Malbec 2006, 20 pesos, Alto Sur Malbec 2006, 20 pesos, Finca Intimayu Malbec 2006, 50 pesos, San Felicien Malbec 2006, 40 pesos.
If you prefer white wines, stick to the torrontes. Susana Balbo Crios Torrontes, any year 30 pesos, Cycclos Torrontes 2006, 40 pesos, Tapiz Torrontes 2007, 20 pesos.
Cementery of the Recoleta

It is on the left side of the Basilica of Our Lady of Pilar. Along the cementery?s streets, you will find mausoleums with sculptures by famous local and international artists. Many well-known people are buried here, such as Eva Duarte de Peron (Evita), Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Juan Manuel de Rosas, Facundo Quiroga and Bartolome Mitre.
Quintana Ave. and Junin st. (daily 7am.-6pm)
BUT I NEVER FORGET ABOUT THE CATS...
by RafaelTheSecond
Street cats in Buenos Aires have something special, they are very hairy, and me as a cat lover, would never be out of Buenos Aires without taking some nice pictures of them...Well that bloke I found in a window of a very interesting spot in Buenos Aires, the street Caminito, one of the famous spots of the Tango life in Argentina.
Caminito is also a tango's theme...CAMINITO QUE EL TIEMPO HA BORRADO....QUE JUNTOS UN DIA NOS VISTE PASAR...and there it goes....
This cat is very simular to my cat Ferrugem!:))))

Barrio Parque
by Shakermaker
A small area full of mansions of all styles, here you can find very modern houses, old style manors, etc. The best of this part of the city is that it is located just 10 or 15 ming away from the microcentro, its worth a walk.
Located between Avenida Figueroa Alcorta and the river ( it is not near the river but bear Figueroa Alcorta)
Shopping is Great!
by maryellen50 about All Buenos Aires shops
I spent sooooo many dollars here. I bought many tango memorabilia including photos and sidewalk art in La Boca and several wood animals carvings and wind chimes. Due to the peso devaluation, everything is very reasonable and high quality. Tango memorabilia in La Boca, Argentina indigenous crafts. I bought several Penguin statues. Wall hangings. Wind chimes. The Mendoza wines are highly rated. Depends on your budget. Prices vary according to quality as anywhere you shop. In general, everything is very reasonable and good quality due to the peso devaluation.
