T THE HEART OF BUENOS AIRES LIES
the Plaza de Mayo
(see pp8-9)
,
from which several distinct neighborhoods radiate. Encompassing the
Plaza is historic Monserrat, which is crammed with colonial buildings. Head
north from here and you reach the rich northern neighborhoods of Barrio
Norte and Recoleta. Travel west and you hit the colorful working-class
districts of Once, the spiritual home of the city's Jewish community, and
Abasto, the tango neighborhood that gave the world Carlos Gardel (
see p28
).
Grand avenues link these neighborhoods to each other. The oldest of them
all, Avenida de Mayo, has stunning belle-époque architecture (
see pp14-15)
.
