You must check out Uribelarrea, tiny rural town = total disconnect. Great food (their cheese and charcuterie are top tier) and a couple of estancias where you can ride horses. https://www.instagram.com/posadaelcondoruribe/?hl=es

Try Centro Odontológico Palermo, a lot of expats go there. They do Invisalign and traditional braces. My friend finished her treatment there and loved how flexible they were with payment plans. https://www.odontopalermo.com/es/

To me it’s just window dressing… having buy and sell at the same price doesn’t reflect reality. This only happens in heavily intervened markets, and when the pressure gets too high, it blows up somewhere else.

The article sums up well what many in economic and political circles are starting to say out loud: this model is not sustainable. The combination of a strong peso, high inflation, and deep recession can't hold much longer. The middle class is being wiped out, and there's no real plan to create...

It’s ironic, isn’t it? We were told that freeing the market and letting the peso float would “fix” everything. Yet here we are , with an overvalued peso hurting one of our most iconic exports: beef. This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about thousands of jobs in the meat industry, less foreign...

Best of luck with your home purchase, wishing you all the best! We bought our property a few years ago, so I’m not completely up to date on the most recent legal changes or USD transfer processes. That said, one thing that hasn’t changed is that your notary (escribano) will likely require proof...

Darín’s message was crystal clear, he wasn’t literally talking about empanadas, he was pointing out how expensive everything has gotten. Honestly, it seems like Caputo failed reading comprehension, because his sarcastic response felt totally unnecessary. What’s even more concerning is this idea...

There's a book fair at Parque Centenario, right next to the Natural Sciences Museum, where you can find old books. It’s a great spot, I’ve found some interesting titles there. Definitely worth a visit!

Basic food items like eggs have increased significantly in price. In fact, many stores are speculating on this and have stopped selling 30-egg trays , they’re only selling by the half dozen until prices stabilize. Inflation is definitely coming, and prices will likely continue to rise...

The economic situation is definitely complex, but calling it a Corralito 2.0 seems exaggerated. Unlike 2001, banks today hold much higher levels of dollar reserves, and deposits are mostly backed in cash rather than government bonds. The demand for physical dollars is a response to uncertainty...

I'm not sure what this study is based on, but I don't think that's the case. The situation is quite difficult, with nearly half of the population living in poverty. Many people are struggling with depression and financial hardships.

I have a local friend who unexpectedly had her fridge break, so she had to rush out to buy a new one. The technician told her it was better to buy a new one rather than repair it due to the cost of the spare parts. Since this had a big impact on her finances, she decided to buy it in 12...

I was talking about this with my nephew, and he mentioned that Discord is a great option because the audio and video quality during calls is much better, and it offers screen sharing with good resolution. The downside is that it's not widely used in the corporate world. If you need something...

It’s not just a protest march for retirees, it’s a demonstration in their defense. That’s why people of all ages join. But after what happened last time, I don’t think many will show up.

It's incredible the bipolarity of this guy. Luckily, the archive exists. Just a few years ago, he praised him nonstop, saying that Cavallo was the best economy minister in Argentina's history, and now it turns out that the same person is a disgrace. It's almost funny! What’s not funny is that he...
