The"tanguera"atmophere in Plaza Dorrego and its outskirts that reproduce the "bandoneon"rhythm. Also Sunday, the architect's tour of some great buildings, Cafe Tortoni, and at night the traditional milonga at Amalgro. Lunes the 20th: l2 noon Recoleta. Represents art, elegance, leisure and night life characteristics, popular with the elite gentry of the portenos. It is named after the Convent of Recoletos Fathers ongregation. The church "Our Lady of Pilar," was inaugurated in l732, and in the cemetary lie various national heroes. There is also the Museum of Fine Arts, the Palais de Glace, and the Recoleta Cultural Center representing the arts. There are sophisticated and beautiful restaurants, cafes and discos in the Recoleta neighborhood, giving this area a polished and distinct flavor. We visit Puerto Madero where in the 1980's a group of specialists fulfilled their dream of recycling the port. During the last seven years the project, "Puerto Madero", has been planned and is still in progress. The result is a lovely center directly on the river, with epicurean restaurants, italian ice cream shops, and offices, offering a rendezvous for business men at lunch and friends in the evening for a typical dinner parrilla.
