Anyone been to Buenos Aires?

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

My jackpot win is gonna fund a trip so that Mrs Ewing and I will dance the tango. I've told her I'm going nowhere else to outdo Pacino in The Scent of a Woman.

One for Ground Hoppers in Buenos Aires if you can get hold of it. I remember it being a good read​

Ciudad De Los Estadios [City of Stadiums]​

Simon Inglis (Author, Narrator), Deadtree Publishing (Publisher)

Ciudad de los Estadios (City of Stadiums) travels around the football grounds of Buenos Aires abridged from Sightlines - a Stadium Odyssey.
Written and read by Simon Inglis. As soon as football writer Simon Inglis read the quote he knew what had to be done. ‘We have more stadiums than public libraries,’ reported a Buenos Aires newspaper, bemoaning illiteracy rates amongst the city’s football fundamentalists.
Digging deeper, Inglis calculated that Buenos Aires has indeed more football grounds than other city in the world. So it was that in 1998 he set off, armed with a map the size of a double bed and accompanied by a River Plate fanatic who happened also to be a pyschotherapist.
From the lofty heights of Boca’s Bombonera to the crumbling terraces of Sacachispas, via clubs called Arsenal, All Boys and Atlanta, encountering tangoistas, drug-fuelled hooligans and Peronists en route, here is the tale of his seven-day quest. On his list, 36 canchas, or grounds. But would he get to them all? And just as importantly, would the therapy help?

Does it cater for those who've given up red meat?

It's 20 years now since I was there, so things may have changed, but in those days a vegetarian request at a restaurant was met with a look of incomprehension from the waiting staff and the option was a cheese and tomato pizza.

If it's just red meat you don't want to eat, fish and chicken dishes were on the menu.

I went to the monument about 17 years ago, stood under the scoreboard with their nutters, great atmosphere !

Been loads of times, food, atmosphere, prices all great. No issues with the Falklands but being Scottish that was never an issue :)

Football heaven.

River Plate, Boca Juniors, Huracan, Independiente, Racing Club, San Lorenzo, Argentinos Juniors, Velez Sarsfield

There’s also Atlético Temperley in BA. I’m not sure if they’ve got a statue of Frank outside the stadium or not? You know I’m not, I’m really not.

Most Argies are of Italian descent. Italian women are on another level altogether to British women.
