Buenos Aires Exclusive Destination

Everything is larger than life in Buenos Aires. The city in which everyone made a fortune at a time when Europe was suffering from the recession and which grew with European ambition, although with greater space for roads as wide as the River Plate, alongside which it is settled, kilometres of wide grassy plains to be turned into the scenarios of opulence, into colonial architecture that needed great wide avenues so that it could be admired in all its splendour. Like the Avenue 9th of July, the widest in the world with its 120 metres from side to side; or the Columbus Theatre, the largest lyrical playhouse in all Latin America. Because, in Buenos Aires everything is the biggest.

LESUIRE & GASTRONOMY

The city is generous, not only spatially but also when it comes to creating and keeping alive in the memory its myths; those that were born on stage, just like those lining the Corrientes Avenue: the Blanca Podestá Theatre, the Lola Membrives, the San Martin, the National Theatre, the Opera, the Grand Rex… or on the Tango Corner, with its façade plastered with plaques in honour of that great tango virtuoso, Carlos Gardel.

Buenos Aires multiplies itself; each avenue leads to another city. Here, they call districts what in Europe would be, because of the dimensions, a whole town: San Telmo, La Boca with its colourfully painted frontages, Palermo… This latter district converted into the heart of modern styles: the fashionable shops are to be found in Viejo (Old) Palermo, the most chic shopping centres in Alto (High) Palermo, competing with Florida street, the most famous (what else?) pedestrian street in the world, with its infinity of boutiques, restaurants and cafés in prolific numbers, as a reflection of the Buenos Aires spirit, always ready for a gathering, whether to pass the time or to make oneself heard.

The Avenida de Mayo (May Avenue), considered the civic thoroughfare of the city (joining the presidential Casa Rosada with the Congress Hall), is the setting in which the citizens of Buenos Aires have manifested over the years their commitment and non-conformist character.
