HOSTEL COLONIAL BUENOS AIRES - SUNDAY NIGHT MILONGA AT DORREGO SQUARE

Many claim Tango culture as local in the Rio de la Plata, South America but who can say this over all Tango has self identity Tango and is with no doubt authentic and genuine Argentinean artistic expression visible nowadays.
A bit story: Born in the late 19th century right from the depths of the people’s soul. Lew ruffian, arrogance, attitude, showing fierceness, pretentious dance, with some rhythms from candomble, with milonga voices, which was originated in the cabarets, bawdy houses, and brothels, became worldwide known in the early 20th century and was played in different ways: some times with artistic quality.
The world connect the San Telmo (10 blocks south walking from Hostel Colonial) area with Tango and there is a random meeting on Sundays night that the Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires encourage you to go where young, adults, beginners or professional dancers o just passionate ones do it spontaneously
In Dorrego Square after 10:00 p.m. the milonga is not a glamorous show it’s in an open park under the lights of the French paroles it’s a good mix performing a spontaneous spirit that scenery contain the real spirit and treasure of Buenos Aires.

HOSTEL COLONIAL - "OTRAS LETRAS" LA PRIMERA LIBRERÍA GAY DE BUENOS AIRES

A fines del mes de Junio, abrió en el interior del restaurante Chueca, en la calle Alsina al 900 (a unas 12 cuadras del hostel), la primera librería gay de la ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Desde Hostel Colonial, como Gay Friendly Hostel, esperamos contar con mayor información para recomendar este nuevo espacio a todos los integrantes de la comunidad que nos visitan. Por ahora sólo puedo decirles que la mayoría de los libros son de la editorial española Egales.

HOSTEL COLONIAL BUENOS AIRES - VENTANA, UNA NUEVA OBRA DE ARTE EN LA FACHADA DEL EDIFICIO DEL PLATA

Es la tercera intervención, la primera fué "Velocidad" que coincidió con una muestra callejera de F1 a cargo de David Coulthard, luego fué "Siesta" y ahora, "Ventana", es la obra del artista Max Gómez Canle que cubre la fachada del emblemático Edificio del Plata, a escasos metros del Obelisco porteño (a 7 cuadras de Hostel Colonial).

La obra tiene 34 metros de alto y 88 metros de largo y busca emocionar y sorprender a aquellos que transitamos por la Avenida 9 de Julio.

Un paisaje fantástico, combinación de estilos, intentando vincular arte y paisaje urbano. Buenos Aires no es sólo Tango, también tiene una fuerte impronta contemporánea y cosmopolita. Puede verse desde el mirador instalado frente al Obelisco. La próxima intervención será una fotografía.

HOSTEL COLONIAL - YOU KNOW BUENOS AIRES?

Has completed the first half of 2009. Influenza H1N1, "Dengue", global economic crisis, a Mrs. President focused on winning the Nobel Prize and not on other trivialities. Argentina, South America. Despite all this, the balance is always positive. It´s a fact that the global tourism is having serious problems, but I think (I've written here several times) that the hostels have been the least affected.
I continue on with my aim to spread the business of Hostel Colonial, but mainly based on the idea that the entire world know Buenos Aires, my city.
How do I do?
- # 900 posts published in this Buenos Aires blog, since late 2005. # 112 this year.

They may think I'm crazy, a lost geek, especially since this is only 10% of my daily work. This is how I'm feel, I do.

The prize?

1 – Filled beds.
2 – Blogger blog + Wordpress blog + Tumblelog = 79.188 unique visitors in the last 6 months. WOW!

It's all for today, I go to work =)

HOSTEL COLONIAL - THE WINTER VACATIONS IN BUENOS AIRES AS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY

Buenos Aires has everything and everything is all you need for this Winter Season in South America. There are a lot of great places to visit in Argentina but most are far away and would require more time. Buenos Aires is the place to land and start to make plans, consider options thinks about where to go, make choices and decisions.
There is a lot of very good suggestions for you on translated local websites, this blog , a real Buenos Aires Blog is one of this, our blog running on #WP is other option in Spanish and our Tumblelog is 95 % Buenos Aires photography, in French the Routard. Lonely Planet, Footprint are options in English, or just in the front desk of the Hostel Colonial that present lots and lots of information which you could get the fixtures for your trip and how to book tickets to different points, for example a day trip close by or you just could also go to Tigre (by boat or by coastal train), the Delta of Tigre is really nice and is about 1 hour on the train to the North. Maybe a little jump on a day trip to Colonia, Uruguay, (maybe even 2-day to Montevideo),
Colonia is a World Heritage Site and well worth half a day to see it. Or maybe even better if you haven't been there, a trip to Iguazú Falls.
Another option is to go to a typical “estancia” for a day or weekend and do some horseback riding there and enjoying a good Argentinean “asado” (charcoal grill cooked meat). There are some good ones in San Antonio de Areco.
Social aspects
The Buenos Aires winter may not be as frigid as in many other countries, but the way the “Porteños” (the citizens of Buenos Aires) complain, one would think they were in the Arctic Circle. The “queja” or the complaint, in Buenos Aires also a Buenos Aires hallmark. In winter, the queja is extreme, while the weather might not be — which also introduces the queja’s best friend: exaggeration. Is mix with sense of humor that gives a fun peek into the daily life.
You will also heard that quite often there are big international bands tours coming to the city- rock/pop/whatever, who come to Buenos Aires will be able to find anything like some very local sounding bands and Tango. Talking about parties nothing change every day goes on in different areas of Buenos Aires, the Federal District, the “Porteños” in winter are more likely for parties and being among others in closed buildings.
While you could doubt for a moment for a simple luck of knowledge having a spare time and lodging in a Buenos Aires Hostel named Colonial for vacation you will exhaust the delights of Buenos Aires.
