Argentina - Sightseeing in Buenos Aires on a cloudy day in May: snapshots of an afternoon in the city. / Turisteando en Buenos Aires en un día nublado de Mayo: postales de una tarde en la ciudad. 😃❤️

<div class="text-justify"> Going out to explore the <strong>city of Buenos Aires</strong> is something I’ve always enjoyed doing. Fortunately, I don’t have to go there every day for work, which would probably make it exhausting, so I still enjoy it whenever I go just for pleasure. The city has so many things to see and incredible places to discover. And in the near future, I hope to catch up on all the plans and activities happening there. For now, I’ve already started my “tourist visits” by exploring <strong>Plaza de Mayo</strong> and the newly renamed <strong>Libertad Palace</strong> 😃. <blockquote>Ir a pasear por la <strong>ciudad de Buenos Aires</strong> es algo que siempre me gusta hacer. Afortunadamente, no tengo que ir hasta allá todos los días para ir al trabajo, lo que lo volvería agotador, así que todavía disfruto de cuando simplemente voy por placer. En la ciudad hay un montón de cosas que ver y lugares increíbles para descubrir. Y en el próximo tiempo espero ponerme al día con los planes que hay allá: por el momento, ya empecé mis "visitas turísticas" recorriendo la <strong>Plaza de Mayo</strong> y el ahora renombrado, <strong>Palacio Libertad</strong> 😃.</blockquote> --- --- <center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23y8otFz7Xme2TCRrNyoZL1aJ2S2opZpYiSvpSPYCoX58Kga6NnVxL22HJz1dfUPHRGkR.png" alt="$1"> </center> --- --- When people say “Buenos Aires,” they may be referring either to the entire province, which covers more than 300,000 km², or to the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, which occupies barely 200 km² but concentrates most of the country’s administrative activity. In my case, I live in the southern part of Greater Buenos Aires, which is the peripheral region surrounding the city, so I’m about 30 km away from this area, and getting there takes me around one hour by train and another twenty minutes by bus. It’s quite a long trip, and even though millions of people commute there day after day for work, I’m lucky not to be one of them. <blockquote>Cuando dicen "Buenos Aires", pueden estar refiriéndose a la provincia entera que tiene más de 300.000 km2, o a la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, que ocupa apenas unos 200 pero que reúne la mayoría de la actividad administrativa del país. En mi caso, yo vivo en el sur del Conurbano Bonaerense, que sería la región periférica a la ciudad, por lo que estoy a unos 30 km de esta zona y llegar hasta allá me toma una hora en tren y unos veinte minutos en bus. Es un largo viaje realmente, y a pesar de que hay millones de personas que se movilizan hasta allá día tras día para ir a trabajar, tengo la suerte de no ser una de ellas.</blockquote> --- <center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23wC7dwVtUP2pmo2ZDdMLztRLdWWU49XUvPhLHhm7ghw1q8eWqsA4RG51cF2dbumq4U7J.jpg" alt="$1"> <img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/245caVXQAjcX8pPgXQ3SsXbTDuyZaGSmBo5hPhp3mKfKNzvZ85eX4kPWg1KBfuLDsGLJc.jpg" alt="$1"><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/2423x9iySQ3HXBx3y9hvmyVz3SRpJdi6EqeSRjMAcioRRa9bw9jujDMFRfVLV18jyz1Xn.jpg" alt="$1"> <img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/244odGNrvmVBVdf2fcGqxknQ18uZzFJyptHy2evjviLdDiPtc9a7C6DmLp7K5Q3qwCcZY.jpg" alt="$1"><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/243qBDqjEpTR5WUBDYnGJN9xAis8j1jTA722oYB928PrhXgHfW4DNuUYWCms6deXZm3vD.jpg" alt="$1"> <img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23rB7BH9BHJUQhTPYANp8zkG9MCtaQANvX8EQBrrR1BjuV3VKXaxTBerCu3p7VYMjCYsU.jpg" alt="$1"> </center> --- That’s why, on some of my free weekends, I like to take the opportunity to go there and wander around a bit. After returning from my backpacking trip, I met several travelers who were planning to visit the City of Buenos Aires at some point. I stayed in touch with some of them, and we arranged to meet once that day finally came. That’s what happened on May 25th of last year, when several friends from the road and I got […]
