What is Argentina known for?

Question

So what is argentina known for???

Answer 1

The culture of Argentina is as varied as the country's geography or its ethnic mix.Popular music is dominated by the tango. The tango is dramatic and passionate - it originated in Argentina and is known all over the world


Modern Argentine culture, albeit primarily Latin American, has been formed and influenced by European immigration. Buenos Aires is undeniably the most European city in South America, due both to the prevalence of people of European descent (mostly Italian and Spanish) and to conscious imitation. There are also some Amerindian influences, particularly in the fields of music and art.

Buenos Aires and other cities show a mixture of architectural styles imported from Europe. In the case of older settlements (and of older preserved neighborhoods within cities), modern styles appear mixed with colonial features, relics from the Spanish-ruled past.

Museums, cinemas and galleries are abundant in all the large urban centers, as well as traditional establishments such as literary bars, or bars offering live music of a variety of genres.

Answer 2

Argentina is called "el enano cabezón" (the big-headed dwarf) because so many of its people live in or around Buenos Aires, the capital, over one in three Argentines live in Buenos Aires or the Provincia de Buenos Aires that surrounds it. Eastern Argentina is very flat. The Pampa húmeda (the part of the pampas where it rains an adequate amount) is among the most fertile parts of the Earth. Argentina produces all the oil it needs, and is not dependent on Arabs or anyone else for oil. Porteños ( residents of Buenos Aires) are night people. Restaurants don't begin serving until 9:00 PM. Night club acts rarely begin before 10:30 or 11:00. The buses run all night. They have some sort of air suspension, which makes them emit a hissing sound as they barrel down the rather narrow streets. The main avenue of Buenos Aires is 20 lanes wide. Argentina produces the world's best beef and among the world's best wines. In Patagonia, in the S. part of Argentina, the wind blows all the time. The UN has helped fund a wind energy project there. Argentines noprmally drink yerba mate, rather than tea of coffee. The chopped up pieces of the plant called mate (ilex paraguayensus) are crammed into a gourd, which is filled with boiling water, and this is drunk through a metal straw with a filter on the bottom. It contains caffeine. The most famous tango singer, Carlos Gardel, who died in a plane crash in the 1930's is still extremely popular. His smiling face is everywhere, and in the cementary where he is buried, fans try to keep a lit cigarette forever burning in his hand. Argentina has suffered more from bad politics than nearly any other country on Earth. Most of the really worst leaders have been military men. Things seem to be improving now. Argentina is a democracy, and the military is unlikely to take over. In Argentina, it is coldest in May and June and warmest around Christmas. The estuary called the Rio de la Playa is mostly fresh water, even though it is very wide. The Paraná River drains a huge area of tropical Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil and has more water than the Mississippi.

Answer 3

Buenos Aires is an amazing city; it's an amazing city that looks somewhat like Europe, but with an edgy Latin American pose and if you intend to visit that town then take a look with hotelbye . El Puerto Madero is really a place properly visited. It served as the key interface of Buenos Aires throughout the late 19th century but know is turned into structures that would be applied as residences, restaurants, shops and different organizations and to provide this project a little bit of style, all streets in the region were called after women. Strolling through the Puerto Madero is a good way to spend a pleasant day exactly like visiting El Obelisco. El Obelisco was built in 1936 to commemorate the 400th wedding of the city founding and now is a must-see place from Buenos Aires.
