| North
of Recoleta is Buenos Aires’ biggest and greenest barrio, Palermo
(reached by numerous buses including #12 and #60). On sunny weekends, it
sometimes feels like everyone has taken up residence in its parks,
which encompass everything from a polo ground to a Japanese garden. The
aerobics classes and cycle paths are popular, but there are plenty
of people indulging in the gentler activities of sunbathing or drinking mate
(Argentina’s national drink, a herbal infusion sipped from a gourd
through a metal straw). |
