Buenos Aires transgresses the traditional way of Latin America capitals. Its strongly European-accented eclecticism shapes its particular profile.
Unique even in the way the Spanish is spoken, it lends itself to discovery, seductive in an ambience of luxury.
The little petit Paris is unarguably justified in Recoleta. It is well worth visiting it on weekends, when takes place the Art and Craft fair, with mimes and live statues.
Puerto Madero is another point of interest, born out of the renovation of the former port´s docks into restaurants, offices and lofts. Today sailboats dock in the new port at the dike, painting a scene from a postcard of Sydney, San Francisco or New York. Gastronomically speaking Puerto Madero is the current password in the vernacular of noble palates.
Some mandate of fate has apparently determined that this one would be a city of nostalgic people, thus the neighbourhoods bathed in silvery moonlight are also fashionable in Buenos Aires. For this, one must go to San Telmo, the place of antique dealers and tango artists. Its heart is in Plaza Dorrego, the city´s oldest one, after Plaza de Mayo. Over 200 years old, it brings together musicians and artists at a Sunday fair.
In La Boca the tango world-wide famous street Caminito is waiting full of painters and tango dancers.
