Tango in the Park

If a woman were seen stroking her foot up a man's leg almost to his crotch and then being dragged along with only the tips of her stiletto shoes touching the ground as she clings on to his shoulders staring passionately into his eyes wearing a slinky skirt split up to her hip, they would probably be carted off by the police. But here it's an everyday sight as you sit and enjoy a cold beer in the sunshine.

Recoleta Park

From San Telmo, we took the bus to Recoleta, the barrio with a distinct Parisian feel. Buenos Aires is simply a fandango fabuloso (party central) every Sunday. The parks are full of picnic-ers, live bands, jugglers, tumblers, people blowing bubbles, dancing, merrymaking and performers in outrageous costumes. FUN meter in the red (with no yobs, drunks or chavs!)
