Spanish courses in Buenos Aires

Waves of immigration from Italy and Spain have left a strong emotional connection to el Viejo Continente and European culture. But, while the city looks European and the locals feel European, Europe this is not. If you turn up at a Buenos Aires nightclub at 2am, you may well find it shut. But come back at 4am and you will find a dancefloor heaving with the city’s beautiful people behind massive sunglasses (essential when clubs close at 9am). Great wine, food, flirting and football make up the daily Porteño diet.

During the day, the city offers a captivating mix of commotion and elegance. Hectic downtown shopping streets sit within a short walk of the grandiose boulevards of the exclusive Recoleta barrio. Leafy Palermo is the biggest residential district and has a wide array of shops, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes… nowadays, even vegetarians can eat well in a city of world-beating steaks. This is a place that creates and inspires, whether the mind of Borges or the left foot of Maradona. The local galleries have decent collections but the real creativity lives on the streets, in the spray cans and stencils of the graffiti artists, the music that drives the clubs until the early hours and in the driving technique of the taxistas!
