Hola Íbero students!
We want to let you all know what's going on these next few weeks--we have lots of activities planned and hope that you can join us! From now on, we're offering a mix of official activities (events with specific times and meeting places) with suggestions (things you can do on your own time frame).
Since this post is coming out midweek, first we'll fill you in on the previous activities and then let you know what's happening the rest of the week.
This past Monday, December 7,
for example, there was an asado at the Art Factory Hostel. An asado is an Argentine barbeque, and you definitely have to experience one before you leave the country. We were reminded why Argentina's reputation for having the best beef in the world is justified as soon as we tasted the juicy grilled steaks and the choripán (chorizo sausage in the middle of a fresh baguette). The smell alone is worth the trip, and we love the relaxed and friendly atmosphere at Art Factory.
Tuesday the 8th
was a national holiday, so there was no class. A relaxing day off.
Today (Wednesday the 9th),
we're suggesting dinner at El Sanjuanino--a restaurant where you can get a taste of traditional Argentine food. This means freshly baked empanadas, locro, tamales, matambre...and of course wine and traditional desserts like flan with dulce de leche. El Sanjuanino is open from 7 pm to 1 am. Dinner and drinks should cost about 30 pesos.
Address: Posadas 1515 (Posadas and Callao)
Thursday, December 10,
we will be showing Historias Minimas, an Argentine movie, for free, here at Íbero. We won't give away the plot, but the gorgeous scenery (it was filmed in Patagonia) will make you want to do some traveling. Come to the Cine room at 2 pm.
Friday, December 11,
there will be two activities. The first (from 2:30 to 3:30, at Íbero) is a conversation workshop with Carolina. This is perfect for people who want some extra practice using the Spanish they learn in class. Plus, it's free!
Later on, at Art Factory, there will be a show with a couple of live bands at 9 pm.
Address: Piedras 545
Saturday, December 12,
there will be a caminata (guided walk) around San Telmo beginning at 11 am. Be sure to RSVP with Emilio, the guide, at 4981 7160 anytime from now till 10:20 am Saturday. The tour costs 25 pesos and leaves from Art Factory (Piedras 545). San Telmo is one of the oldest and most historic neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and definitely worth a wander--explore the cobblestone streets, turn-of-the-century cafes, tango bars and colonial architecture.
Stay tuned for next week's activities--nos vemos!
