ARGENTINA FUSION
useo Evita displays the compelling story of Eva Perón,
Argentina’s tragic and iconic First Lady. Her crypt in
Recoleta Cemetery is one of Argentina’s most visited
Msites. As I looked up at the famous balcony of Casa
Rosada, the presidential palace, I could almost picture Evita making
her impassioned speeches to the masses. It is from this balcony
Madonna sang “Don’t Cry for me Argentina” in the film Evita.
Buenos Aires sports another legend, the soccer hero Diego Maradona,
who made Argentinians cry with joy with his magnificent skill.
Soccer is the city’s other great passion and attending a game at Boca
Juniors stadium provides proof of this. If soccer is too hectic, I
recommend you take in a game of polo, “the sport of kings” and,
Argentina’s other great love affair.
Buenos Aires certainly does not disappoint. No wonder they call it
the “Paris of the South.”
