Buenos Aires
Province / Country
Argentine Republic
Buenos Aires is 15 million people living the most intensely social urban life in the Americas — dinner at 10pm, tango at midnight, bookshop visits at 2am (El Ateneo Grand Splendid, the world's most beautiful bookshop). San Telmo's antique market, La Boca's coloured houses and Palermo's restaurants are the neighbourhood signatures.

What to Shop in Argentina
From artisan workshops to open-air markets — things worth packing an extra bag for.
Argentinian Leather
Argentina has the world's highest per-capita cattle population — exceptional leather crafted into boots, belts and bags at San Telmo market at a fraction of European prices.
Malbec Wine
Achaval Ferrer, Catena Zapata, Zuccardi — bought at the Mendoza winery, these world-class Malbecs cost a fraction of export prices.
Tango Music & Shoes
Vinyl of Astor Piazzolla's nuevo tango and handmade tango shoes from Casa Pissini in Buenos Aires are the most authentically Argentine souvenirs.
Yerba Mate Set
A quality mate gourd, bombilla and kilo of Taragüi yerba — Argentina's national caffeine ritual makes the most Argentine gift possible.

Taste & Culture
Food, Rituals & Argentina's Soul
Eat with your hands. Watch the ceremony. Understand why people keep coming back.
"Argentina gave the world Borges, Messi, Maradona, Piazzolla and dulce de leche. For a country of 45 million, this is an unreasonable contribution to human happiness."
Asado
The Sunday ritual — whole ribs, short ribs, blood sausage and sweetbreads cooked low and slow over wood embers by the asador. The chimichurri is always made that morning.
Empanadas
Pastry pockets crimped in 14 patterns indicating the filling — beef, ham-and-cheese, spiced potato. Every province has its variation. Eleven empanadas and a glass of Malbec is a complete Argentine lunch.
Dulce de Leche
Argentina's caramel — milk reduced with sugar until thick and golden. Spread on toast, in medialunas, swirled through ice cream or eaten directly from the jar.
Provoleta
A round of provolone grilled on the parrilla until bubbling and charred outside, soft within — the first thing any asado serves while the fire reaches temperature.
Alfajores
Two corn-flour shortbread cookies sandwiching dulce de leche and dipped in chocolate — Argentina's national biscuit, with Havanna from Mar del Plata producing the gold standard.
