    Lovely space to chill out
    Although not the best in the world it provides a nice escape from the bustle of BA. We spent z pleasant couple of hours here. Some interesting exhibits , some not so. Lovely butterfly garden and birds.

    What a joyous place!
    Normally when I see the words 'cultural centre' I imagine an empty old building serving as a make-work project and people paid to sit around and do nothing. But here, it's much different.
    Young people dancing- in different styles from room to room. Workshops, DJs, Art galleries and exhibitions small and large, wild and wonderful. Whoever curates this place really puts together fantastic presentations. There's even a hands-on science gallery for younger kids. (Touching the displays is mandatory!)
    I admit it felt a bit strange as an outsider wandering through, but what is art for if not to be seen? But wander you must! There are many galleries within- some along the inside hallway, others along the outer corridor.
    There is a craft market outside with food vendors on Saturdays, and a cafe at least inside. In addition they'll have concerts and films, check their web site if you want the current program.
    Overall, it was the joy and exhuberance of everthing going on here that made my visit worthwhile.

    La Rural (Feria del Campo)
    Every time we go to Buenos Aires in the winter we take our kids to La Rural where they have a farm exhibition. It is definitely worth the trip. You will see live auctions of the animals, stands of each province selling their local delicacies and clothing, all types of farm animals and farming equipment. You can get a nice bbq while visiting and catch a glimpse at the horses be exhibited with horse show included on certain days.

    Breathtaking Views
    The National library of Argentina is absolutely huge. It is not my favourite library in the city due to the fact that it isn't very aesthetic from the outside and it looks old and worn. Despite this, the interior is quite the opposite and there are some very modern aspects to the place. The most notable mention however, is found on the top floor which is a communal study space and offers stunning views of the city.

    Centro Cultural Matta, Embajada de Chile en Buenos Aires
    The Matta cultural centre, attached to the Chilean embassy in Buenos Aires, is exhibiting some of the works of the famous Chilean surrealist. The exhibit is on until Jan 22, 2016.
    Not many people are familiar with Roberto Sebastian Matta Echaurren; but he is considered one of the important surrealists of the twentieth century. He was born in Santiago de Chile in 1911 where he studied architecture. In 1934 he went to Paris to complete his studies. In the following three years he travelled around Europe and established contacts with several artists and intellectuals of the period such as Garcia Lorca, Pablo Picasso, Andre Breton, Salvador Dali among others. In 1939 he immigrated to the US where he spread the ideas of surrealism among young US artists and finalized his theories about art, science and poetry. In the mid sixties he moved to Italy where he lived till his death in 2002.
    My wife, who is an artist herself, and I learned about his exhibition in Buenos Aires just before arriving and made it a point to visit as soon as possible, which we did Jan 6. It was a pleasant walk, on that sunny day, from Recoleta along” Avenida Del Libertador”, through the woods of Palermo “Bosques de Palermo” to “Tagle” street. The entrance to the cultural centre is in the back of the embassy and you can reach it through the park, “Plaza Republica de Chile”. The exhibition is not only free, but the very friendly staff will also offer you a valuable book about the artist, his work, theories and thoughts “Matta, Este Lado Del Mundo”, Matta this side of the world.
    We loved the selection of art work exhibited, a couple of which is on loan from the MALBA museum of Buenos Aires. There is also a 45 minutes documentary, narrated by Matta himself, about his ideas and approach to surrealistic creations. We found this an excellent documentary, very interesting and thought provoking.
    By the time we finished it was time for lunch and “Tabak Café”. As usual, the “Lomito Al Plato” was excellent.
    I hope you will have a chance to enjoy this unusual exhibition and opportunity to meet and learn about Roberto Sebastian Matta.

    Interesting insight to some historical buildings and remarkable personalities of the city
    This urban trekking is a very interesting alternative to the most popular hop-on/hop-off tour. However is a bit long if you are going to spend only a few days in the city. It offers a different point of view of the city, because you will have to walk across the avenues and among the people who lives there. On the other hand, guides used to be people that live in and studied about the city. They narrate some historical and political events and describe cultural and architectural aspects.

    English book store at last!
    A used book store--all titles in English. What a relief to find this store after the disappointment of El Ateneo. Nice little shop near San Telmo. Definitely swing by here after stopping at the Feria de San Telmo.
