I am 32 years old. I have been living in the San Telmo neighborhood in Buenos Aires for 7 years, a historic area visited by tourists from all over the world. I am a political scientist, writer and teacher. I love to know places and I am a lover of the history and the details of the social processes that make up the urban landscape. Buenos Aires, like none, is plagued by that history that is lived at every step. We must activate that sixth sense to capture the past that materializes in the present through streets, houses, trees, buildings and squares. For all this, I want to be your guide in la "Reina de la Plata". Avanti!
The neighborhoods of Retiro and Recoleta form a fundamental axis in the urban layout of Buenos Aires. The first, forged in the heat of the port and railway movement of a place that became the nodal center of the Buenos Aires urban movement; the second cradle of the historical aristocracy of Argentina, nucleated around Alvear Avenue and the Recoleta Cemetery. Both neighborhoods today bring together a large part of the architectural emblems of the city, from palaces of the aristocracy of the early 20th century to the most modern rationalist skyscraper of the 1930s. Alvear Avenue, icon of the Recoleta neighborhood, is the most elegant and French Buenos Aires, enough to transform the Argentine capital into the "Paris of South America".
