Mi querida Buenos Aires (Presentation of the different neighborhoods)

Buenos Aires, city of 12 million inhabitants (with its suburbs), partly built by French architects, is an interesting mix of styles, between a European city and a Latino American City.

Let's look at the main areas of this city that I carry in my heart.

El Centro :

Agoraphobics refrain! In the center, everything goes fast, very fast. Whether it is the pedestrian street Calle Florida, where every few feet someone will offer you to change money, go see a show, buy something cheap, and so on, the Avenida 9 de Julio, the widest street in the world (according to the Argentines) with in its center the Obelisco, the symbol of Buenos Aires, where thousands of cars agglutinate to each street light, or any other street, the center meets all the excesses.

Palermo :

Hype district of Buenos Aires, full of trendy clothing stores, bars, nightclubs and home of the most beautiful and largest city park.

San Telmo :

Steeped in the culture of Tango and antiques, originally the immigrants district, San Telmo is becoming with time the new Palermo.

Recoleta :

Far from the frenetic pace that prevailes in the rest of the city, this district is the classy one, equivalent to the 16th arrondissement of Paris, with many french style buildings. Here is the famous Recoleta Cemetery where Eva Perron is buried.

Puerto Madero :

Formerly the city harbor, now the neighborhood of luxury apartments where new buildings are growing like mushrooms.

La Boca :

Originally the district of the poorest immigrants, still popular, it has now turned into a touristy area with its colorful houses and the presence of the stadium of Boca Junior (for football fans).
