Apartment Buenos Aires

The Palacio de Gobierno is a white neoclassical building situated in Plaza de Majo, erected in 1902 and enlarged in 1912.
Today the Palace is the new City Hall and houses the working office of the mayor of Buenos Aires.

The adjoining Casa de Cultura is a sumptuous granite building with bronze ornamentation and a number of lanterns protruding along its facade.
It is located in Avenida de Mayo and formerly housed the offices of La Prensa, a national newspaper. Atop the Casa de Cultura is a statue representing freedom of the press, many times suppressed in Argentina.

The most notable room is the Salón Dorado, a French neoclassical masterpiece of gilded columns, painted ceilings, an ornate parquet floor, and a performance stage.
The Casa de Cultura is maybe the finest and most elegant building in Buenos Aires, nowadays the headquarters of the city’s Office of Culture.
Do not miss to visit the Palacio de Gobierno and the Casa de Cultura during your holiday in Buenos Aires!

Caminito Street is a short street in La Boca, district of Buenos Aires.
The area covered by Caminito Street was once the route of a small stream that flowed into the Riachuelo River. After it dried up, railway tracks were installed and remained until 1954, when the railway closed.

It was then that Caminito Street assumed its distinctive traits, as we see it today: Argentine artist Benito Quinquela Martin applied pastel colours on the walls facing the abandoned street, and had the wooden-plak stage replaced with a theatre house.

The bright pastel hues of green, yellow, pink and orange gives the street a unique look, that conquered many Italian people, earliest settlers of the area. Take a stroll in Caminito Street, and stop to see couples dancing Samba along the street, it has a strong local flavour and… it is free!

The Gay Pride Parade in Buenos Aires is held every year the first or second Saturday of November at 18, starting from Plaza de Mayo, progressing to Plaza Congresso and ending at Avenida de Mayo. It is one of the major events in Buenos Aires.

Participants recall the first ever gay assembly, formed in 1969 in the city. Nowadays the parade represents an occasion for gay people, transvestites, drag queens and bisexuals to show themselves to the community, taking courage from their difference and defend their rights.

Sometimes this event in Buenos Aires turns into a political act, in support of civil unions and against the prejudices at work, with gay people demanding equal rights to heterosexuals.

However, the Gay Pride Parade in Buenos Aires is also a party, and like every party music and dance have a central role. People relish themselves to the rhythm of samba and other music genres, in a general spirit of fun.

In sum, the Gay Pride Parade is a multifaceted entertaining festival, that can be enjoyed also by heterosexual who are simply curious.
