Buenos Aires was founded by Spanish settlers twice in 1536 and later in 1580 after the first settlement was destroyed by the indians and was declared capital of Argentina in 1880. The name relates to the Virgin of Buen Aire venerated by some of the original founders. In 1776 it became Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata area and since then it has occupied a very important place in the political and trade map of South America. The importance of its port in the economic and national life of Argentina is reflected in the name given to the people of Buenos Aires: Porteños -its port and immigration provided the city with an identity that is still present today. Although very European in style, Buenos Aires mirrors the pace of North American cities while maintaining a latin and South American way of life. You will be impressed by its cultural dynamism and exciting nightlife by its beautiful trees, wide avenues and cafes terrasses. Delicious food and wine and excellent shopping at affordable prices on daring architectural designs will complete your stay.
