Today the old docks were recycled and turned into restaurants, lofts and offices with the best view of the city. Reserva Ecológica Is an area close to the city where nature and environment are preserved. It's probably the most similar scenery for its flora and fauna found by the first Spanish travellers. La Boca Historically, La Boca is a portside neighbourhood. Its particular style reflects the migratory influx. It is one of the birthplaces of Tango, along with its brothels and cafes. Caminito is a must for tourist to know this unique and unforgettable place.

Los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud de Buenos Aires 2018. Diego Roldán. Resumen. En el campo de los estudios sobre megaeventos, este artículo recupera un caso de menor escala, proyección y poco estudiado. Los JOJ 2018 resulta- ron propicios para la experimentación y producción de una nueva imagen de la ciudad, de su gobierno y de las intervenciones urbanas. A partir de la reconstrucción de los apoyos políticos locales e internacionales, los JOJ 2018 son interpretados como un punto de inflexión en la carrera de Buenos Aires como posible sede olímpica. En este marco, se indagan las carreras de dos empresarios que articulan negocios, deporte y política y se estudia la producción de una imagen de la ciudad de Buenos Aires como candidata y espacio turístico saludable. El trabajo se concentra en el impacto de los JOJ 2018 en la Comuna 8 al sur de Buenos Aires.

  • Celebrating 21 Years of Life in Argentina
    CELEBRATING 21 YEARS OF LIFE IN ARGENTINA Aaand I’m back. After a hectic, time-consuming shopping period, I finally got the time to write this entry! Basically the past few weeks were spent traveling to 10 different classes and listening to their respective professors give introductions, and then judging by those whether or not I wanted to pursue the class. I also considered factors such as class size and how well I liked the professors. IFSA warned us how the Argentine university registration processes was notoriously disorganized, and that was certainly the case. Besides castellano, my classes include a seminar about political and social processes in Latin America, a class about contemporary solidarity movements in Argentina, and a human rights class. I’m also taking a film and literature class with a contemporary focus on the 21st century. That class, as well as castellano, is taught at the IFSA headquarters in center of town on Avenida Corrientes. The seminar is taught at La Universidad del Salvador, off Avenida Córdoba a little farther out in Recoleta but nearby a Subte estación. The rest of my classes are at La Universidad Católica Argentina in The San Telmo/Puerto Madero area. Out of all three places, UCA is by far the most modern, though it is an absolute pain to access- if you’re traveling from the center of town, you have to give yourself at least half an hour to cross the Plaza de Mayo (especially when there’s a protest) and then three wide avenidas. I should note that, yes, both universities are very much Catholic, with crosses and pictures of Pope Francis everywhere.
