"Mi Buenos Aires querido....cuando yo te vuelva a ver no habrá más pena ni olvido."

El puente de la mujer - Puerto Madero
|
Carlos Gardel's words and melody will always echo in my mind. This spectacular tango wants to transmit
the feeling of those who had to leave Buenos Aires for some reason, but
will keep forever the city inside them and will always dream about
coming back. Well, that's exactly
how I have been feeling after I left BA, last year during my exchange semester in Universidad de Belgrano in July 2013. Buenos
Aires literally traps you in its arms in a way that I cannot describe
it, you just feel so linked to that city that you have to come back, sooner or later.
I
have been travelling a lot and I have no doubt in saying that Argentina
is the most beautiful country in the world and Buenos Aires the most beautiful city.
Not only it is just magnificent on its own with its green parks and its
history - Buenos Aires offers a way of living, a human "heat", a
never-sleeping multicultural environment, funny parties and people,
excellent food, a careless and free state of mind that I rarely found somewhere else. Every morning you wake up, you see that deep blue sky, you walk among European splendid architecture of la belle epoque, sometimes perfect, sometimes more "decadent"...but always alive in its 48 barrios and 13 million inhabitants (the whole conglomerate).
The land of Dulce
de leche, Carlos Gardel, Mafalda, los alfajores, Plaza Armenia,
Recoleta, La Boca, el colectivo, el Subte, Che Boludo, Tango, Teatro
Colòn, Puerto Madero, parrilla libre, las empanadas, los submarinos, el mate, las medialunas, el Rosebar, la reserva ecologica,
la Casa Rosada, San Telmo, Plaza Dorrego, Fernet con cola, choripan, la Bomba de Tiempo, los parques de Palermo, Café Tortoni, Avenida Corrientes, la mitica Universidad de Belgrano, casa de Poppy/BenBi/Orin/Scott, las casas de cambio, los helados de 1/2 kilo de sambayòn, Scalabrini-Ortiz, the ISHBA family, Siga la Vaca restaurant ....a million things remind me of Buenos Aires !!!!!!!!!!
Here some pictures that represent Buenos Aires for me... You will see that many famous places are missing (such as La Boca, Recoleta Cemetery, etc) but I couldn't put them all! Y mis amigos de Buenos Aires...aunque no estén todos les amo a todos!!!!
