Passionate about knowledge and human relationships, History, Politics, Philosophy, Art and Gastronomy. I love sharing my knowledge and exchanging experiences with people. I am a History Professor, Graduate in Journalism, Announcer and some other things... I believe that opening your eyes to reality, going where human activity stands out, where the noises of life can be heard, is the best formula to develop a thought. plural and multicultural that contains a message of peace and harmony. The best place to learn, know and understand reality is reality itself, the only truth, which is on the street beating the life of the people. I enjoy sharing a flexible and creative environment in which I can develop all my knowledge, which gives me the opportunity to learn and absorb experiences, as well as to create relationships, meet new people and develop new bonds.

Tour description

San Nicolás dates back to the chapel founded in 1733 by Don Domingo de Acasusso, where the obelisk now stands. From this church, on August 23, 1812, the national flag was raised for the first time in Buenos Aires, to celebrate the failure of the Alzaga conspiracy. The church of San Nicolás disappeared when Corrientes Street was widened.

The neighborhood is one of the oldest in Buenos Aires; the Courthouse building stands where the Artillery Park once stood.
The Parque Station was located on the site of the Teatro Colón, inaugurated on May 25, 1908. From there, on August 29, 1857, the first Argentine train, hauled by the famous La Porteña locomotive, departed on its maiden voyage to La Floresta.
