WELCOME TO OUR BUENOS
AIRES!

OUR SECOND DAY
WHAT THE PICTURES MEAN
Well, the pictures show all the places we visited in our second day. Unbelieveable. It was a very tiring day because we left the
hotel at 8:00 and we got there again at 21:00. After that we went to have lunch in a local
restaurant, 7 blocks far. It was a good night, not so much for the food, but for the good
moments we shared with our friends. Finally we got to the hotel again, but this time for get some sleep. The next day, we had to get up
at 7:00. Imagine what was like.
THE NATIONAL CONGRESS The Argentina National Congress is the
body that exercises the legislative power of the government of Argentina.
The Delegates’ Chamber and the Senators’ Chamber are found here.
THE PINK HOUSE/CASA ROSADA
The Pink House is the seat of the executive branch of Argentina. Inside is
the office of President of Argentina. Under the Domingo Faustino Sarmiento’s presidency, the building was painted in
pink, which is the actual colour.
COLON THEATRE The Colon Theatre, located
in the City of Buenos Aires, is one of the most important opera
houses in the world for its size and trajectory acoustic. It is
considered one of the five best
theaters for opera for its spectacular
acoustic.
RECOLETA NEIGHBOURHOOD
Recoleta is a central suburb of the city of Buenos Aires. It’s a broad area of historical and architectural interest, especially by the Recoleta Cementery located there, and a major tourist and cultural focus within the city. It is considered a fancy neighbourhood and the value per square meter is one of the most expensive in the city.
MAYO SQUARE/PLAZA DE MAYO
The Plaza de Mayo, foundational site of the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, was
born from the union of the squares Victoria and Front, in 1884 to demolish a
building called Recova Vieja that separated them.
It is located in downtown Buenos Aires called “microcentro porteño”
BUENOS AIRES’ CATHEDRAL
The neoclassical Metropolitan Cathedral of Buenos Aires is the main Catholic
church in Argentina. It is located at the intersection of San Martin and Rivadavia Avenue, the neighborhood of San Nicolás,
opposite to the Mayo Square.
