Near the apartment is a plaza with a few restaurants and during the evening they have Tango dancers showing their stuff. A passion of the city - the tango dancing goes on until the wee hours of the morning in the clubs. With dinner at nine - they don't start dancing until after midnight. Then they go out for drinks after that. We've been pretty used to eating dinner at 9 anyways, but we will have to see about not going to bed until 5 am!
This is a little plaza nearby that we stopped at to have a little "picada" a light meal to hold you over until
you have your real meal. It seems that the traditional picada is a platter of cold cuts, cheeses and olives with fresh bread. It it ok the first time but it can get old really fast. Anyway, while we were eating our picada in the plaza this couple was dancing. Wow! I would love to have legs like her, I think I will take up Tango for sure!
We also went to a nighttime Tango show at El Viejo Almacen to watch the truly professional show on stage with a live band playing. Lots of traditional songs - and amazing dancing!
In two weeks I'll be in Buenos Aires so I started to do my research about what to do,museums etc. I found an interesting Buenos Aires travel guide that also have an article about tango with very useful info, Mika.
