Last port of call ....Valparaiso via Cape Horn to Baires..., the ship allowing a day on the town and a sleep over before setting off with a fresh load of sea-going tourists following the same route as we but in reverse ...and then onto Alaska cruising waters for the northern Summer Season.
Familiar with B.A., we did the Cabildo (Wars of Independence Museum... though no mention of Coronel/later General Juan Pardo de Zela!!?!). Across the street ,the Plaza de Mayo and Casa Rosada (presidential palace). Then... , wending our way down an unending sequence of flea-market stalls arriving at last in still charming San Telmo Square.
Just a couple of blocks away, were able to genuflect at the altar of Baires tango, the "Viejo Almacen". A newish version for the much larger Tango tourist market on one corner ...and the "original" just across the street where, yes, we saw an "old school" tango show way back when before it closed.
