LLEGO A BUENOS AIRES! | ARGENTINA #2

I'm finally in Buenos Aires and nothing much later than expected because as The flight has been delayed by more than 4 hours which bothers me because I have few days in Buenos Aires Aires I have them spread out but I have a few days and I want to make the most of them but anyway I'll do what I can So nothing else I'll show you the hotel room it's the Hotel Meliá Plaza Recoleto is quite close to the airport and the truth is tha It looks really good I'll show it to you Here we have the entrance this is like a cut Very classic like a couch to leave my backpacker bag Here a small table the bed King size which is quite good there's a TV and such and here there are mirrors And you'll say George We're missing something like a bathroom for example but shared No it's not shared 's behind this mirror If you open the mirror's door you'll find a bathroom A shower that is located behind this mirror Quite well and nothing else everything like a more classic cut but good So nothing else I'm going to eat Start your tour of Buenos Aires by walking along Avenida 9 de Julio which is the avenue that stretches all the way The principal from here in the city As you can see all the traffic is here on my side but there are many spots It's interesting what we'll come across along the way Behind me is the Colón Theater is one of the it is the main theater here in Buenos Aires and in fact is considered amed by National Geographic as one of the ten best theaters in the world and one of the bes places to hold concerts So if you have the option I have checked the dates when it was Here there's no work available so I don't have the opportunity but if you can then It is surely a very interesting place to visit inside The area of the Colón Theater is Very beautiful there are some parks here connected together and there are some government buildings but there's also a school and an institute but it seems like a great place because it's like that A temple is here It's a school a primary school and that one over there is a school The institute is on the left I think well an incredible architecture I believe it won't be one of the Cheap I don't know why Here I am in the middle of 9th of July Avenue and here as you can see is the Obelisk From Buenos Aires a very popular place where people often meet and was built in 1936 To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city of Buenos Aires by Pedro de Mendoza Advancing along one of the streets perpendicular to Avenida 9 de Julio is Avenida Mayo It's in one of the most well-known ones and goes all the way to Do you see that building over there Now I will approach It is the Casa Rosada the house where the president lives currently Macri and here Apart from that in this square which is the Plaza de Mayo there are several important buildings such as the one that ca be the May Revolution Historical Museum This building is also very important because it is El Cabildo and here in this square is where the Argentines gathered when they were occupied for the Spanish to demand Argentina's independence About 2 000 people gathered who They were all the inhabitants that Buenos Aires had at that time they gathered here to as The independence was achieved thanks to that The Metropolitan Cathedral of Buenos Aires This is the main church of all Argentina the Catholic religion obviously but it has a a quite classic style which is usual for churches but still it's curious it also seems Like a kind of Parthenon with columns I am inside the Vatican which is the current Pope Francis and then for all the Catholic people Jesus of San Martin at will not sound if you come to Argentina you will see that there are squares named after him everywhere and it is because he was the one who liberated From the Spanish to Argentina and much of the Andes because later they went to Chile and Peru as well He liberated all these countries from tyranny That is why he is a very important figure in these countries And their remains were buried in this cathedral Here where I am which is right next to in front of the Casa Rosada is this small square which is the Plaza de Mayo That is where it gets its name because it is the month when Argentina's independence was established and you can see it on the ground There are painted ones like They are like silhouettes of the scarves that ladies wore and that's because in 1976 If I'm not mistaken this is where the Argentine dictatorship began which was quite cruel in which many people were kidnapped They were torturing her they were killing her To this day many people still haven't been found and then the mothers would come here Among all the missing persons they asked for their children to return to be told where they are and to this day they continue to gather Sometimes I don't know how often but they still meet to demand that there are many mothers who don't have They don't know where their children are And it has been a very hard time here in Argentina especially because so many people disappeared Of which nothing is known about what happened it is unknown if they are dead or alive so it's as if that part of the story remains incomplete From here without closing And surprisingly that's why they would gather here in this square every day during the dictatorship or practically every day Every day that group of women would come to demand the return of their children and they did so in front of the Casa Rosada In front of where the dictator lived After a super rainy afternoon which hasn't stopped and I don't think it will I've come to one of the ones that is considered The second best bookstore in the world and that's because it's the Ateneo a bookstore located in an old theater And look how beautiful it is Here is what the stage is and everything behind me all the balconies all filled with books Incredible super cool If you like books this is your paradise I'm going back to the hotel now I've finished my day today The truth is it hasn't been very intense for me because Between the plane arriving late and then it starting to rain heavily it was difficult but okay I've already seen a large part of the center and I have to say I'm liking it It's a very very European city It looks a lot like Barcelona for example and also has some features of Paris especially in the bars Much more overloaded and more classic it reminds me a lot of that aspect in Paris So for now I'm really liking it Buenos Aires despite the rain I went to have dinner at a place called Parrilla de Peña which is a very well-known spot here For that well for grilled food meat and everything that's grilled and it was delicious It's just that in Argentina everything that's meat is There with how carnivorous I am I would definitely go for it A tenderloin I don't know they give so many names to things here But with a tenderloin and beef I don't know the exact cut but it's very good and then for dessert the classic here What is flan with dulce de leche which they put on everything here but it's delicious very sweet as the name says And it's very full but it's still super delicious So nothing else after having had a very very good and extremely filling dinner I'm already walking around Heading to the hotel to wrap up today and then tomorrow I can start strong with a full day here in Buenos Aires So nothing else see you tomorrow Au
