Whit its cobblestoned streets, one storey houses and century old buildings surrounded by seemingly limitless expanses of flat plains, the town of San Antonio de Areco could be straight out of the movies. Founded in 1730 around a colonial church, this quiet, dusty town has been declared a city of historic national interest by government, and if you fancy a breath of country air, you need come no further.
The ”Fiesta de la Tradición”, a celebration held each year in November, features a traditional gaucho parade on horseback, folkloric dances and typical gaucho games such as the “corrida de sortija”, in which galloping horsemen catch rings from poles.
The city is located in the Province of Buenos Aires, 100 km from Hostel Colonial.
