Hi Meghan, having a car was definitely the way to go for checking out the different towns around there (I only did Jujuy myself). Just a heads-up though, the roads can get pretty rough, and you might even run into some flooding, so just keep in mind if you're cool with driving in that kind of...

Alright folks, heads up! 👀 Seems like Caputo's got something up his sleeve. The minister just dropped a hint that they're about to announce a measure to boost the use of dollars in the economy that, according to him, is going to be a real jaw-dropper. 😮 So, what could they be cooking up? Some...

Haha well, now he’s got his eyes on someone new! 😄 I have to admit, he leveled up this time lol. People are saying he’s being linked to that journalist Mariana Brey…...

Yeah, honestly everything is so volatile right now that it's hard to make any solid plan. A lot of people are just holding on to their USD and waiting to see what happens, especially since the Blue Dollar is once again becoming more favorable. The MEP was great for a while, but now with the gap...

You might want to check out La Librería Del Ávila in San Telmo. It's not just a great spot for books, but also an experience, it’s one of the oldest bookstores in the city, and stepping inside feels like a journey through time. You’ll find a wide range of titles there, and it’s the perfect place...

Looks like Trump is the new Perón, huh? 😆 First, it’s "America First," and now he wants to take away the best beef in the world from Americans... What’s next? A political party to abolish barbecues? I mean, no one’s saying U.S. beef is bad, but Argentine beef... that’s on a whole other level...

Just a heads up, there’s a general strike on Thursday. It will likely disrupt flights, public transport, banks, government offices, and various other services. Make sure to plan ahead...

I highly recommend Slow Dental in Microcentro! I had an amazing experience there. It's a modern, top-notch dental practice, and they really take care of you. The staff speaks great English too, which made everything easier. If you need help, you can reach them on WhatsApp at +54 9 11 2331-5226...

That’s what happens when you visit the best wineries in Mendoza. Winemakers has a location in Recoleta, I’m pretty sure you’ll find what you’re looking for there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bk5jsKaYnaLABUiD7

I paid around 12K for a jacket last year, so I guess that's the new average now 🥲. I ended up just buying a washer/dryer to save myself from these insane prices!

Hey! The school year in Argentina runs from March to December, so the timing can be a bit tricky when coming from a British system. Since your son would be halfway through Year 8 in Europe by the time you move, most schools here will likely place him in the equivalent grade based on his age...

I’d definitely recommend Villa del Parque! It’s a super chill residential neighborhood with lots of trees and parks, and it’s pretty well connected. It’s got that classic Buenos Aires feel but without the crazy crowds of places like Palermo. Also, prices are way more reasonable. Not a touristy...

Good news (or at least it seems like it)! Starting with a Decree to be published in the coming days in the Official Gazette, tariffs on clothing and footwear will drop from 35% to 20%. There will also be reductions on fabrics and yarns. The question is: will this actually reflect in the final...

It's definitely a complex issue. On one hand, cheaper imports can help control prices for consumers, but on the other, they are hurting local producers who can't compete. The case of tomatoes is a clear example, and in the long run, it could be negative if local production collapses. Finding a...

Hey! Yes, on Reconquista Street the bars usually celebrate St. Patrick's Day, there are always shows and 2x1 drinks. I think that's in Retiro, It's definitely one of the classic spots to go for St. Patrick's Day in BA.
