I invite you to a meeting with Buenos Aires to create a vivid portrait of the city and feel its sense of place. We will touch the past and discuss the contradictory present. We will unravel the mysteries hidden in street names. We will visit an old bookshop and hear the bells ringing from the city's campanario towers. All this time, we will observe the locals and learn from them the ease of being.
