Downtown Buenos Aires is as sophisticated as any European city, with its wide avenues, fine colonial architecture and rows of pavement cafes. The city was built by French, Italian and Spanish immigrants and the Porteños (locals) still regard themselves as more European than South American. Travellers walking through the leafy parks and boulevards could be forgiven for thinking they were in Madrid, Paris or Milan.

Buenos Aires was founded on the shores of the Rio de la Plata in 1570 and was named after the patron saint of sailors for the good wind or buen aire. The city remained a colonial backwater for 200 years while the Spanish concentrated their attentions on wealthier Peru.

Aires became a thriving centre for smuggling between South America and Europe. Dissatisfaction with Spanish economic and political dominance escalated to boiling point and culminated in the revolution of May 1810 and finally to independence in 1816. Its history since then has been dogged by military coups and political mismanagement; the consequences of which are growing disaffection with the government and widespread poverty, as is evident in the sprawling shantytowns on the city's outskirts.

Activities in Buenos Aires

Tango

Tango emerged from a set of social conditions in Buenos Aires in the 1800s. In those early days it spoke of the hardship, pain and loneliness of the European immigrants who'd left their families and loved ones behind in search of a better life. This seemed elusive for the majority of the male immigrant population who lived mainly on the shores of the Riachuelo and in the impoverished neighbourhoods of southern Buenos Aires.

Restaurants in Buenos Aires

Los Platitos

At this low-key restaurant jovial waiters serve up traditional Argentine food such as blood sausage and sweetbreads along with pasta and grilled provolone.

Catalinas

Superb seafood and game dishes await you at this French restaurant that resembles a country inn. The lobster tail on fresh eggs, with caviar and cream, and the pejerrey (a small freshwater fish) stuffed with king-crab mousse are particularly good. The dining room is packed with lunchtime business crowds, but it draws a more varied crowd at night. Several fixed-price menus make this gourmet's delight easier on the pocket, but beware - Catalinas's wines and desserts can double the price of your meal. Reservations are essential. Dress code is a jacket and tie.
