 Ropa usada by MeZuGa
The 2 blocks of Dorrego Square, at the weekends feature a used clothes and
accessory fair, at which you can find many interesting things. It is like one
giant yard sale.

 El Caminito in La Boca, Buenos
Aires, Argentina by jumpingnorman, 2 more photos
The taxi driver was very kind, but he looked very concerned that I was walking alone. He warned me to just stay where people were since there have been reports of tourists being attacked in the area. I followed his instructions.
In the mid-19th century, La Boca was home to Spanish and Italian immigrants who worked in meat-packing plants and warehouses in the beef-shipping industry. They used leftover paint to color the corrugated metal they used for building their houses. El Caminito, whose name is derived from a Tango song, is the most famous street with these colourful houses. And as expected, you can see tango dancers here and even take a photo or dance with them for a small fee.
Someone then handed me a brochure about a boat ride, and I went to the stall and bought a ticket for the 1PM ride. "Diego" who handed me the brochure was the same person who drove the boat, and unfortunately for the company, I was the only passenger. So, it was like I rented the whole boat all for my own as it set off into the open river! Leave a Comment Directions: It's a pintoresque neighborhood in Buenos Aires

 Under Renovation - The Main
Garden Building by Bwana_Brown, 2 more photos
The single large building in the Gardens is an Art Noveau style brick structure which used to hold gardening lessons, a library, a museum and an adjoining greenhouse. However, we could not get a close look at this Historical Monument because of a large wooden fence around the entire structure as it too underwent repairs. Leave a Comment Directions: In Palermo district where Av. Las Heras and Santa Fe meet at Plaza Italia and across Las Heras from the Zoo.

 Embajada de Francia by MeZuGa
Los planos fueron modificados para que tenga cuatro frentes, previendo la ampliación de la Av. 9 de Julio, la residencia fue prestada al Príncipe de Gales y 25 miembros de su comitiva en 1925 y más tarde fue vendido a la Embajada de Francia , que fue inaugurada con un gran baile, Se distinguen su cuerpo circular en esquina, con cúpula y torre de ornamento, las pilastras jónicas monumentales y el trabajo de herrería de las rejas de los balcones y la verja.
It was the old Ortiz Basualdo place, where Daniel Ortiz Basualdo began work in
1912, with plans by the French architect Pablo Pater.
The plans were changed so that it has four fronts, foreseeing the widening of
the Av. 9 de Julio, the residence was lent to the Prince of Wales and 25 members
of its cortege in 1925 and later it was sold to the French Embassy where it was
inaugurated with a grand ball. It is distinguished its circular body in corner,
with dome and ornament tower, the monumental ionic columns and the wroght
ironwork of the balconies and the gate. Leave a Comment Address: Av. Alvear y Av. 9 de JulioDirections: Looking every building in Buenos Aires it's a must!

There are several options for visiting Recoleta Cemetery. There are free guided tours, currently at 11 am on Tuesday and Thursday in English. There are paid tours such as the one offered by Tango History Tours, many of the city tours include a stop here or you can do like we did and do a self guided tour. It seemed like a lot of the bus tours were there right about 11 am so this might not be the best time to visit.
Most people will seek out Evita's tomb (look for Family Duarte, not Peron) because she will be the only person buried there that they know. But have a look around at some of the other tombs, works of art created in memory of their loved ones.
The only other person we knew of was Luis Firpo, a heavyweight boxer made famous by his fight with Jack Dempsey, immortalized in a painting by George Bellows. You'll also want to find the tomb for the Paz Family who owned the La Prensa newspaper and the Art Deco tomb that was erected by the mother of Rufina Cambaceres who was buried alive because she was in a coma, subsequently saved by some workers who heard her screaming.
I noticed that a lot of the tombs bore the same names as the streets in Buenos Aires, if you go on a guided tour, surely they would tell you the history behind some of these names.
If you are visiting on a Saturday or Sunday, be sure to check out the Recolata Market nearby. And watch out for all the resident cats, local ladies feed the cats daily and they can be seen darting in and out of the alley ways. Leave a Comment Address: Calle Junin 1790 at Plaza Francesca
