San Telmo ^ Among the city’s oldest barrios,<br />

cobblestoned San Telmo guards the<br />

lyrical spirit of the bodegón – the<br />

quintessentially porteño bar/café<br />

where a vermouth or croissant can be<br />

arranged anytime. Lanes lined with<br />

19th-century homes brim<br />

with performers on<br />

Sundays (see<br />

pp18–19).<br />

Tango<br />

Jaunty and humorous or dirge-like and<br />

mournful, tango – the capital’s dance,<br />

musical, and poetic art form – is still in full<br />

swoon, 120 years after its creation. With<br />

classes and performances galore, it is<br />

integral to the city’s culture and continues<br />

to captivate the people of <strong>Buenos</strong> <strong>Aires</strong><br />

and the rest of the world (see pp26–29).<br />

Avenida 9 de Julio<br />

& The grandest of Latin American<br />

avenues is flanked by dozens of cultural<br />

highlights, the biggest of which is Teatro<br />

Colón. Take care when crossing its 12lane<br />

width, which takes a few traffic-light<br />

cycles to accomplish (see pp20–21).<br />

* Museo de Arte Latinoamericano<br />

de <strong>Buenos</strong> <strong>Aires</strong> (MALBA)<br />

MALBA has quickly asserted itself since<br />

its 2001 opening. Its collection of Latin<br />

American artwork, which includes Diego<br />

Rivera and Xul Solar, has been supplemented<br />

with film screenings and a<br />

unique museum gift shop (see pp22–23).<br />

( Colonia del<br />

Sacramento,<br />

Uruguay<br />

Founded by Portuguese<br />

traders, Colonia is a<br />

picturesque town. Its<br />

colorful colonial streets,<br />

Portuguese architecture,<br />

and relaxed pace, make<br />

it a popular weekend<br />

spot (see pp24–25).<br />
