I am sure it is a coincidence : good weather phenomenons are called after male saints and bad weather phenomenons are called after female saints. After the Veranito de San Juan, it looks like we are now getting the Tormentas de Santa Rosa. After the first spring-like days at the…

Since 2003 we’ve been going to Buenos Aires on a regular bases, not once did we manage to get tickets for the famous Teatro Colon. It was either sold out, there were no performances at that specific time or they were on strike, and until recently it had been closed…

This 3-day fashion “week”, takes place in La Rural, and is supposed to follow the example of the fashion weeks in other major cities in the world. I have never been to any fashion week, so I cannot compare, but this one I definitely find… boring. It is small, in…

Did you notice how warm it is in Buenos Aires? People without coats, almost dressed in summer clothes and this in the middle of winter? But don’t panic, this is not the end of winter yet! (what a pity!)The winter is just cheating a little bit on you with this…
