Let me know if you need any inside scoop. You’ll have a blast. I still have another 9 nights here.Nice. I'm off to BA tonight.
It is incredible. I’ve been to five games over the years and they’re all great so you don’t have to wait for a “big game” to capture the atmosphere. With that said, Boca’s archenemy dramatically advanced to the finals of Copa Libertadores (biggest club tournament in South America). Boca takes a 2-0 advantage into tonight’s game versus Palmeiras. If they don’t blow it, we’ll have a superclassico (RiBer versus Boca) in a Libertadores final for the fist time ever. This city is just gonna go absolutely nuts! Praying Boca plays smart tonight and gives me a finals in the Bombonera next week. Good luck.Seriously jealous for that boca game. Must have been crazy. My girlfriend and I want to go to Argentina and I will make my trip always in line with a big boca game. I hear the atmosphere is great.
A boca v. River plate final would be absolute nuts. After watching last weeks game, boca should be able to play smart and not give up a 2 goal advantage.It is incredible.

A polo match is divided into chukkas. And that is the origin of the name for the short riding boots worn by equestrians of all sorts. Americans also refer to them as paddock boots. The long boots are worn during the actual games. If you had more time, I’d recommend the place that manufactures many of the boots sold by the high end stores but it’s in the Mataderos neighborhood and well off the beaten path. If you’re looking for boots go to La Martina in Recoleta or Arandu just around the corner. You’ll pay more but it will be convenient and very good quality. The other Arandu store near Congresso may have a better selection so give that a peak. If you have a difficult foot to fit, you can go bespoke at Casa Fagliano (check out their website). They make the best boots in the world bar none. Also, give Casa de las Botas in Palermo a look. They’ll do semi-bespoke with a 10ish day turnaround. They’re better known for women’s dressage boots but if I were in the market for a pair of chukkas, I’d probably go there.Cheers. so these boots are riding boots? You also mentioned chukkas. Is this something I should be looking at?
I'm attending a couple of conferences. I'm in BA for about 5 days, staying in Puerto Madero. Then I'm off to Bogota for another 4 to 5 days before coming back to BA to fly back to HK. I have a 16 hour layover at EZE on the 11th and am still wondering what to do about it!
Suggestions for food and some sightseeing would be much appreciated.

But that’s probably what Gremio’s fans were thinking having won the first game at RiBer.
I’ll have more for you later but if by “traditional” you mean colonial then BA is not the place. Your Quito and Lima and Bogota have much more to offer in that respect. The huge church in Quito with the nearby Jesuit wooden church are much, much better than anything here. But if you mean turn of the century Art Deco, that’s another story. While it’s not Budapest or Prague, there are excellent examples here.I've always wanted visit Argentina, especially BA.
I am fluent in Spanish , having lived in Quito for
a few years decades ago. I am not a sports fan.
The last futbol game I attended was the Women's
World Cup at Stanford Stadium in the 90s.The most
recent SF Giants game was in 2007 from which I left early
to attend an Opera. Aside from the neighborhoods
mentioned, and Teatro Colon what "special" attractions
should I look for? I love traditional architecture and
highrise-free urban environments. Any suggestions?
Gracias !
