Yummie yummie! Apfel Strudel, Sacher Torte and another great cakes. This town will remind you Austria!
Don´t miss the little chapel, the cementery and the Fountain. To arrive there by car, once at La Cumbrecita you will need to leave the car and Walk!
Suggested lodging, Las Verbenas .

Alta Gracia is a pretty little town, rather close to Cordoba. It is perfect for a day-trip from Cordoba.
From here, you can more or less see some lovely mountain ranges in the distance and you can visit Museo Che Guevara.
El Comandante Ernesto 'Che' Guevara spent his childhood here in Alta Gracia and the museum was the house rented by his parents during his childhood.
There is a small collection of photos and some items around the house. 2 short movies about 'Che' are shown - one of his childhood and one of this last days in Bolivia before he was killed.
The one of his childhood was particularly interesting to me, as musings from his old childhood friends, his cook, his teachers showed how contemplative, sensitive and generous Ernestito (as he was known then) was as a child. He did not just read books, they said, he devoured them. And whenever he had anything, he always shared with his friends and family. He never hurt anyone, not even birds and animals. Even as a little ‘un, he had the charisma and leadership that he displayed later, as he was the leader of a neighbourhood gang.
There are more photos of his usual guerilla self, smoking a cigar, standing amongst soldiers in the middle of the jungle, grinning away and one of him with nearly all his children.
In a way, to me, ‘Che’ is no longer just a legend with the famous frozen image of that mid-distance heroic gaze, topped with a beret, etched on the side of a building in Havana, Cuba, on the 3-Cuban peso coin, and on countless T-shirts and badges. This museum showed how human he was. This museum showed how human he was. Leave a Comment

If you understand Spanish, find about independent theater in the local newspaper (La voz del Interior) and go see young people doing what they like most. There are around 20 places in the city where you can see independent theater groups. ´Independent´ means they do it for fun -they charge very little (around 5-10 pesos) and some of them are quite good.
