Argentina

November 1, 2010 @ 4:59 PM 18 Comments      

My country is Argentina and we have lots of traditions. One is our famous “Asado”. It is one of the most typical traditions here.We get together with friends or just with our family, and we enjoy it together.

Check out this video on our “Asado”

Other typical Argentinean thing is the TANGO. It is a very beautiful dance. One of the most important Tango singers was Carlos Gardel. He sang about love and sadness.
There is also a very important square called “PLAZA DE MAYO” it is a very historical place. You can also see the cabildo, the Cathedral and our “Casa Rosada” in “Plaza de Mayo”. In the Cathedral you can also find the remains of Jose de San Martín. He fought for many South American countries, Chile, Peru and Argentina, independence. Our May Revolution (1810) started in the cabildo and our President  works in “Casa Rosada”
and another famous wonder in argentina is the “Obelisco”

OUR  NATIONAL FLAG

MAP OF ARGENTINA REPUBLIC

In Argentina there are 23 provinces, but some people say there are 24. There are many beautiful landscapes. I recomend Iguazu waterfalls. They are so pretty and if you  have time to visit some national parks you’ll find many all around Argentina. THEY ARE AMAZING

    Why do you like Iguazu falls so much? I’ve never been there, I’d love to go one day!

    This is a wonderful post. I really enjoyed reading about Argentina. I am from Georgia, but my family is Irish. We have lots of traditions that are typically Irish traditions. I enjoyed learning from you the traditions in Argentina and other important things and facts about Argentina. I hope that one day I can visit Argentina, especially the national parks. Thanks! Sincerely a future teacher!

    Very good job Alex! The asado looked tasty! I liked all of the wonderful pictures that you added and your information was very well organized! One question, Why do some say that there are 23 providences and some say 24? Just curious.

    Alex,

    I studied this summer in Buenos Aires and around other parts of Argentina and it is such a beautiful place.

    I loved all of the pictures and captions that you included, and it made me miss the country very much. I especially miss the asado, Iguazu, the dulce de leche, and the alfajores. YUM!
