The cafes of Buenos Aires are just great, and the staff amazing. I am so sorry I did not take as many sketches of San Telmo as I had in mind. Our favourite breakfast combo was called 'numero 5'.

Salta La Linda. And it is indeed marvellous. Here a quick sketch of its skyline (oh, the Andes!).

The obelisk of the Avenida 9 de Julio in Buenos Aires looks taller in the photos. But it is nevertheless a monumental object and very elegant - while surrounded by the busy city traffic.

Lovely colours - the colonial past of Argentina at its finest

I spent the trip to Argentina reading JJ Saer El Rio Sin Orillas. And this is a quote by JJ Saer (as found in the MACBA Museum toilet...) together with a sketch of Rio de La Plata taken while boaring for a flight at the Buenos Aires regional airport

Lovely colours of Cordoba - the city is full of nice people. I have precious memories of its canals.

In Argentina sparling water is still served in those lovely vintage seltzer bottles - lovely and refreshing!

What a view - I wish I was a better draughtsman!

MALBA is the equivalent of the Whitney Museum for the Latin America, and it is dedicated to art from Latin America. I did a sketch of a famous artwork, La Pileta (The Pool) - temporarily exhibited there (just great experience!).

I am so proud for all the Italians that helped building Argentina. And for bringing the Milanesa! Delicious!!!

A gorgeous way to redesign the old wharves in Buenos Aires. The old cranes were all made in Italy, as beautiful as modernist sculptures: they are home to birds nesting.
