However, unlike in the United States, in the city of Buenos Aires graffiti is legal and, in many cases, it is not only sanctioned by the government but encouraged. In Buenos Aires, graffiti is more commonly referred to as street art and takes on a much more positive connotation than it does in other countries. That is because after the country was hit with a financial crisis in 2001, crime started to become more prevalent in the inner city. Years later, in an attempt to revitalize areas like Palermo, the city hired artists to paint murals around the city on empty buildings in hopes of boosting the moral of citizens on their ways to work or school. This idea paid off and soon street art became a growing trend in Buenos Aires, adapting and changing with the times. Artists began to develop many different styles such as murals, tags, and stencils. Street art has become a staple piece of not only Palermo but Buenos Aires as a whole and showcases some of the best art the world has to offer. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/994/Wall_art_Te_amo_BA.jpg ed7a368c1a6cf6c8019cb63139e11702 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

La boca means “the mouth” which is approximately where it is located in respect to the river. Caminito is the most famous street. It is a pedestrian street walk with buildings covered in sheets of metal with radiant colors. It is about 150 meters of pure radiance. Fútbol is more than a sport it is a way of life. Buenos Aires has the most sport stadiums in Argentina. One of which is La Bombonera, which is in La Boca. This is the stadium of the Boca Juniors, the most popular team in Argentina with blue and yellow pride. Two famous international fútbol players are Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, both #10. Some tips for enjoying a fútbol game include: learning a teams chant, eat a choripan (like eating a hot dog in the U.S.), and screaming the famous words “GOL”. Other attractions include Usina del Arte and Puente Transbordador. La Boca is just a great place for a good walk. There are sittings like graffiti and beautiful buildings, some nice restaurants, and a great view of the vast river. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is a marketplace, approximately six blocks worth. Puerto de Frutos is not like any other. It is as if each department of Walmart had its own shop and then some. You can get just about anything at this large marketplace. Fresh fruit, bags, scents, lamps, kitchen appliances, the list goes on. It is the place for shopping for souvenirs and gifts for your family and friends. You can find something for everyone at a reasonable price. Most importantly, it is the spot to get the cheapest Mate cups and straws. Mate is a large part of Argentinian culture, especially near the region of Buenos Aires. There is also a good selection of restaurants to choose from. There is a great view of the Lujan River. There is even a peaceful boat tour around Tigre, which is a great break from the city. Puerto de Frutos along with other activities surrounding the marketplace is a day long excursion.

There is an underground dance floor where they host tango lessons and showcase dances with live music. During the live performances they offer food, drinks, and a table for dinning. Tango was originally seen as a vulgar form of dancing engaged by criminals, now it is a respected dance form performed by all social classes. It arrived via the slave trade. Tango represents a fusion of music and dance of the immigrant groups of that time period. Groups like the Italians, Eastern Europeans, Spanish, and Africans. Cultural immersion is a large part of what makes a trip so great. What better way to become culturally immersed than to learn the most popular style of dance in Argentina. One class at La Virtura is an hour long. Depending on your level of experience you can take a beginner or advanced class. Don’t forget to wear closed toed shoes- just in case. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/991/LaViruta.jpg 3ecdc7f2b4e4e2aebb9ee77c47263882 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We can compare this to the opera houses in Milan, Vienna, Paris, London, and even New York. Opera is not the only performances that are held in the Teatro Colón, they also have performances from orchestras, ballets, and choirs. The theater also has its own production workshops, which are funded by the cities budget. This allows citizens to freely work, and set up their own productions. If you are an influential performer, it is essential to come to Argentina and to preform on this stage. The main hall is in the shape of a horseshoe and allows sounds to be amplified without any type of sound system. The style mimics Italian and French theaters and it can sit a total of 2,478 people and has space for standing room, which can hold an extra 500 more people. The theater has seven levels for individuals to watch the performance. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Some of the best of this can be seen in the Palermo district. Palermo is the largest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, and also serves as a center of creativity and local culture. The talent on display here has drawn eyes from all over the world, with Huffington Post listing Buenos Aires as one of the top cities to see urban art. Since the neighborhood is one of the primary destinations for both locals and tourists, Palermo needed to look as vibrant and eye-catching as the cultural gems found within, and to achieve this, Buenos Aires chose to use street art. Owners of stores, bars, and restaurants hired artists to pull interest towards their businesses. Even some homeowners turned their house into a canvas. Along with these personal requests, the government paid for commissions on publicly owned spots as well, like the fully decked out Palermo subway station. All over the neighborhood, you can see murals, tags, plasters, and many other types of street art, so throughout your travels, it’s definitely worth it to keep an eye open when around Palermo, as you never know what unexpected things you might find. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/987/StreetArtGarrettReid.2.mp4 027daf70030a6f36b15deda6959fedc3 http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/987/StreetArtBuenosAires.jpg ad6ec43a190a08e1c959a4ecb67e0008 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This triangularly shaped garden sits between Santa Fe Avenue, Las Heras Avenue, and República Árabe Siria Street. Upon entering, it feels like everyone has been transported outside the city into a magnificently, well-groomed forest. The only indication that the garden is still located in the city is the occasional sound of traffic. This gorgeous landscape has beauty around every corner, nook, and cranny. Adding to the atmosphere of the elegant vegetation are jaw-dropping sculptures, monuments, and greenhouses. This botanical garden is perfect for walking around with friends and loved ones, a breath of fresh air when they city feels overwhelming, a perfect place for taking pictures, or as a muse for an artist or painter. If one part of the garden does not please the viewer, there are three other types of gardens to go to: Roman garden, French garden, Oriental garden, and Argentinean Indigenous Americas garden. This rare spectacle was declared as a national monument in 1996, so there is luckily no worry of people destroying its artistry anytime soon. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/986/Buenos_Aires_Entrada_al_Jardin_Botanico_Carlos_Thays.jpg def767e35acc3d92caf1d616051c93cb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Through this tour, the participants see various houses through the Delta Tigre and some buildings in the northern zone of Buenos Aires. An interesting prospect of this experience is that every house along this area has a boat and a dock. The reason for this oddity is that the only mode of transportation for these people are boats. If one were to look at a map of the locations of these houses, they will realize that there are no streets anywhere close to them; therefore, the only effective mode of transportation for these residents are boats. The architecture and landscaping of these houses are interesting as well as beautiful. There are many places along this tour that can be rented or further explored, some not all; however, most of these places are not cheap to rent due to their unique nature. Many tourists opt to visit for a weekend or just a day. Either way, the boat tour of the Delta Tigre show be experienced at least once upon visitation. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/985/Delta_del_Tigre_1.jpg d73636db80742600521dc72594a6a1c2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
