Buenos Aires: The City Of Fury

Damian Camargo
November 22, 2020

Buenos Aires is a metropolis with the soul of a people that takes a nap at noon and refuses to sleep at night. In this Latin city with a European aspect, there are many options to enjoy architecture, tango, gastronomy, football, theater, music and folkloric traditions. There are plenty of words to describe everything that Buenos Aires represents and is. A city that lives a thousand revolutions and never stops, a city that does not leave you indifferent: you either love it or hate it. Well it knew how to earn his nickname “city of fury” for that remembered song of Soda Stereo.

But just as it is, with its twists, its nuances, its contrasts and its follies, Buenos Aires catches the tourists who come to know it.

Buenos Aires is classic, colorful, cultured, crazy, funny… It is a city that has great humor and its genius creatives have made it a protagonist in theater, cinema, literature and music. It is so universal that from anywhere in the world, at some point, many of us have felt it ours, because its energies made us vibrate and even its misfortunes made us cry.

Buenos Aires is a wonderful city to walk around and discover each time you visit things that attract and make you return. It is a city where the classic is mixed with the modern, in its architecture you can see a totally European building next to a typical Latin American building; a 30-story building next to a 3-story building, houses of one or more environments, which hide people who flood the city during a working day or a night out. It is a city where day and night are reversed, you go to bed at 3 a.m. as if it were nothing, but you get up at 9 in the morning to start the work day.

The dynamics of the Porteño (as people from Buenos Aires are known) is a little different from the rest of Latin America, which makes it attractive, because it is like its architecture, each one tries to express their own personality with the way they dress, the haircut, or any tattoo or artistic expression on the skin, seeking to distinguish itself from the rest of the mortals.

Traveling to Buenos Aires is like going back to the past: you enter a cafe and people talk, enjoy food, and there is no cell phone or computer involved to avoid socializing, that is the difference between Buenos Aires and any other city of the world. In Buenos Aires, everyone is a friend, everyone is family, and that is reflected everywhere you go.

The city of Buenos Aires has a wide and varied range of places of interest so that tourists can visit and enjoy it in its many facets. Historic, ancient, modern places, green spaces, museums, music, theater, cemeteries, culture, and one of the great Argentine passions, football.

These are only some of them:

The Obelisk

Perhaps one of the most emblematic tourist spots in Buenos Aires. Located in the heart of Microcentro, as downtown Buenos Aires is often known. Erected on the widest avenue in the world (or one of the widest) it is undoubtedly a point to know if you are going to travel to Buenos Aires.

Obelisk in Buenos Aires. Inaugurated in 1936 to commemorate the fourth centenary of the first founding of Buenos Aires, it is the work of the architect Alberto Prebisch, one of the main exponents of Argentine modernism and also the author of the neighboring Teatro Gran Rex.

Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada, the Cathedral and the Cabildo.

Just a few blocks from the Obelisk, we reach a critical point in the city: Plaza de Mayo. Emblematic place and an icon not only of the capital, but of the country. Great events in the history of the country took place there.

Opposite it is the Casa Rosada, the place where the president´s office is located. On the opposite side we find two more important places, the Cathedral of the city and the old Cabildo, a government building from the colonial era (today reduced in size), where the May Revolution took place, the country’s homeland date due to the events May 25, 1810.

Casa Rosada, a palace located in front of the Plaza de Mayo that functions as the headquarters of the National Government. This imposing pink building occupies the site where the Fort of Buenos Aires was built in 1580. It was the residence of Spanish viceroys and later it housed, with some reforms, the authorities of the successive national governments.

San Telmo and the San Telmo Market

The bohemian part of Buenos Aires. A place with the rustic beauty of Montmartre, but with the beautiful charm and Latin feel. But there is a particular day that is the most recommended to visit, Sundays, that’s when the streets are not only filled with people but also with stalls of all kinds to accompany the now usual and famous San Telmo Market. Not only tourists come here on weekends but also local people in search of fresh air, delicious food and to buy something for the house.

Also, there are street tango shows in Plaza San Telmo!

The emblematic San Telmo Market, located in one of the most charming neighborhoods of Buenos Aires.

Caminito, La Boca

Another of the most visited by tourists and a must-see if you are going to travel to Buenos Aires. With its colorful facades and streets, Caminito attracts large numbers of people. In addition to this, football fans take advantage of the proximity of the Boca Juniors stadium to make a double stop in La Boca and also take the tour of La Bombonera.

Caminito. It is one of the most emblematic walks of the city and one of the must-see attractions for those who visit it. With its typical tin conventillos in the La Boca neighborhood, which display its walls painted in different colors, it is also an open-air museum almost 150 meters long.

Recoleta Cemetery

Built in 1822 as the first public cemetery in the city. At that time the country was enjoying its best times as an emerging power, which was reflected in the great families that invested large amounts of money in building large and quality pantheons. It is also explained why great personalities in history, among them Eva Perón (Evita) are buried there.

Colon Theater

One of the most important places in the city and one of the most important theaters in the world. Its first performance was on May 25, 1908, and at more than 100 years of age it continues to impress anyone who visits it. Considered one of the best of its kind. It is definitely worth a visit if you are going to travel to Buenos Aires.

Kirchner Cultural Center

Former post office, the CCK is today a museum and venue for artistic events. On each level there are art samples, performances, of all styles, it has a symphonic room with appreciated acoustics and on the Ninth Floor, there is a viewpoint where you can taste snack or dinner made with typical products from the different Argentine regions. I suggest getting information on the website of the site, because its dynamics is fabulous and so that events are not missed!

Forests and Lakes of Palermo

Among so many cities and buildings, a little green is always necessary. And although Buenos Aires has many squares, it also has large parks. Among them are the Lakes of Palermo, an immense green area with lakes, trees and plenty of space to spend a good time outdoors enjoying the sun. Also do exercise, either running or using the healthy stations distributed throughout them.

With its lake, its amphitheater and the Rosedal, Tres de Febrero Park (also known as forest of Palermo) is one of the best-known green spaces in the city. Ideal for walking and resting, drinking mate while looking at the lake and exercising, this oasis in the middle of the metropolis is the favorite of tourists visiting the Argentine capital.

El Ateneo Bookstore

A place that should not be missed is El Ateneo Grand Splendid, an old theater from the beginning of the 20th century refurbished and transformed into a large bookstore where you can enjoy a delicious coffee with a good book, a pleasure for many.

Ateneo Grand Splendid. It was chosen by the British newspaper The Guardian as the second most important bookstore in the world. Erected over the old Grand Splendid cinema theater in the Recoleta neighborhood, it retains its former splendor and elegance, with the dome decorated with frescoes, the original railings and the intact decoration.

Night Life

The night of Buenos Aires is one of the most exciting of all. And there are options for all tastes. Plaza Serrano is the ideal place to start it, full of bars, restaurants and discos. Finally, if you go to Buenos Aires, you cannot stop trying their pizzas, dulce de leche and alfajores! Oh, and I forgot, eat an asado, the argentinian famous barbecue!

I arrived in Patiala from Amritsar, taking two different trains, which was slower than a bus but much more comfortable. In the southeast of Punjab, Patiala is a medium sized city of around 700 000 people. The most famous attraction is by far the Qula Mubarak, a Sikh fortress built in 1763. It literally dominates the city center by its imposing size and height. I saw no other foreigners visiting when I was there (this was much before Coronavirus). Maybe this is the reason why at that time (2019), it was clearly lacking maintenance and renovations. The Phul cinema has kept

Marseille: An Interesting Mix of Religions and Culture

2020-11-22

Founded 2,600 years ago by Greeks from Phocea, Marseille is the dean of French cities and the second largest after Paris. 1 million inhabitants live in its 16 neighborhoods, most of which have managed to preserve an authentic village character. In 1481 Massalia was incorporated into the French crown and the rapid growth of the city began thanks to various strategic alliances that were made with the Ottoman Empire. After the French Revolution, the city was the scene of several episodes full of violence, repression and terror carried out by the followers of the monarchy. During the 19th century there was rapid progress, but the city suffered heavy losses during World War II. Fortunately, after these dark episodes, it was almost completely rebuilt. Marseille is the scene of one of the largest experiments in religious integration in the world. Located on the shores of the Mediterranean, it could become the first city with a Muslim majority in Western Europe within a few years. Almost half of the around 850,000 inhabitants of Marseille are Muslims, the majority of Algerian and Tunisian origin, almost all of them arriving in recent decades. Marseille has also hosted hundreds of thousands of Christian residents of Italian and Armenian origin, and the pieds noir (black feet), Christians and Jews who fled Algeria when the country gained independence from France in 1962. For all this, some see Marseille as a model of pluralism worth studying, and wonder what the secret is. A clear example is its gastronomy. Bouillabaisse soup is the seafood dish par excellence, but the truth is that nowadays it can be said that couscous or lamb skewers with oriental spices are also typical. Or in Marseille the bars offer a type of food that reminds us of vermouth time in Spain. It is the
