August 16>24: Back to BUENOS AIRES
Our trip to north Argentina developped new desires, emotions and point of views. We had forgotten what a different world Buenos Aires was. Capital Federal totally felt like another country. The moment was perfect as the colourful tango festival had just started for the whole week. We kept ourselves busy with a great deal of activities the city was offering for the occasion: concerts, shows, tango lessons, singers, dancers, outdoors and indoors exhibitions, museums and a lot more. We visited a few cafés "notable" (ancient, historical and very popular cafés in Buenos Aires) such as "Las violetas", "Café Tortoni", "Los angelitos" where we delighted in seeing older elegant generations drink their coffee while reading their daily newspaper. Charming spirit indeed as it really reminded me one of those 50's tango-mafia-dolce vita movies. Museo Larreta was one of the final discoveries in our argentinian trip. We slipped into a very spaniard environment (some interesting clues to understand the context where all started) since andalusian garden, masterpieces and architecture are enclosed in this beautiful museum. Olé!

When I travelled to Argentina I went to a lot of different cafes and they were all super nice. There is one I highly recommend which is called "Pani". It is located in the neighbourhood of Palermo (the apartment for rent in buenos aires I was staying in was there.) The decorations of the place were nice and there were different sweets and cookies for people to choose. Loved it!
