WALKING DOWN CORRIENTES AVENUE

For decades Corrientes was my avenue in Buenos Aires, I walked on over 60 blocks hundreds of times.


Corrientes Avenue, one of the most representative avenues of Buenos Aires (2 blocks from Hostel Colonial). Avenue of bookstores, cafes, theaters and the famous Buenos Aires pizzerias. Born in Puerto Madero and ends at Chacarita.Between 1910 and 1938 was transformed into Avenue.Crosses the center, Once, Abasto, Almagro and Villa Crespo.

Strongly associated with the Tango, in some of its corners can find Tango scenes composed of carved figures, such as that seen on the Luis M. Drago St.. The most traditional pizza places are here in a few Downtown, 8 blocks from Hostel Colonial: Guerrin, Los Inmortales, Banchero, Las Cuartetas and El Palacio de la Pizza.
