"IT is better to look good than to feel good," the Argentine actor Fernando Lamas once remarked. He could have been talking about Buenos Aires after its 2002 peso crisis. The financial meltdown emasculated the Argentine economy, but it also made Buenos Aires, the expensive cosmopolitan capital, an attractive and suddenly affordable destination. Now largely recovered from “La Crisis,” the city is being energized by an influx of tourists, expatriates and returning Argentine émigrés, and its glamorous night life and conspicuous consumption have reached a fever pitch. While inflation is now reappearing, Buenos Aires, at least for the moment, not only looks good but feels that way too.

Buenos Aires: city where passions run high
Maybe you can gauge a city’s soul from those it chooses to worship. Buenos Aires has three eternal heroes, whose ranking fluctuates according to fashion and caprice.

The tango singer and film star Carlos Gardel was the city’s first cultural icon, in the 1920s and 1930s. Eva Peron, who, depending on your viewpoint pitches somewhere between Mother Teresa and Imelda Marcos, became arguably the first globally famous Argentinian in the 1950s. Diego Maradona is one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen.

La feria de San Telmo, un fenómeno inagotable
Es reconocida internacionalmente y tiene secretos que pocos conocen

A la feria de San Telmo parece que le ocurre el mismo fenómeno que les pasa a las obras que son consideradas clásicas: nunca se agota. Por lo menos así lo demuestra la valoración que hizo la revista National Geographic Travel, en su última edición de 2008, al incluirla en segundo lugar, en su ranking de las ferias callejeras más importantes del mundo, "Top 10 Shopping Streets".
