Although we loved Patag­o­nia and Tierra Del Fuego,these remote lands didn´t have much to offer in terms of restau­rants, movies, nightlife etc. Arriv­ing in Buenos Aires, we felt like we were back to civ­i­liza­tion: restau­rants every­where offer­ing every fla­vor on the planet, movies we hadn´t even heard of, peo­ple walk­ing in the street late at night, super­mar­ket (even a Carrefour!)…

We arrived late the first night and we fig­ured we would have to starve until the next day, because noth­ing would be open. Yeah, right… We found an hos­tel in the micro­cen­tro, right by Avenida 9 De Julio (the widest street in the world!) and we barely had to walk ten meters before see­ing bars, food, book­stores, cafés… What a sight! There were peo­ple every­where, mostly eat­ing in par­il­las (BBQ meat restau­rants), all-you-can-eat buf­fets or sip­ping wine on the side­walk tables. And yes, it was well past mid­night. A street was lined with the­aters and peo­ple were get­ting in pop­u­lar shows. In the pedes­trian streets, musi­cians were play­ing and peo­ple were danc­ing. Tango per­form­ers, not far, had gath­ered a small crowd. We felt safe and happy. The night was only starting…
