The conventional wisdom on Buenos Aires is it’s a European city that happens to be in South America. It’s often described as the Paris of Latin America, but to my eyes it looks more like a Barcelona with Italian food and some New York grittiness.
The café culture is well developed. In this picture we’re camping out at the local high class coffee joint, La Dolce Esquina, while the maid cleans our apartment. We were given free cheesecake samples with our perfect lattes. Rough life, I know.
If you need to live well on a budget, and you don’t have to earn a living locally, BA is a great option.
