Buenos Aires: my favorite holidays

 One of my favorite holidays was the second time I went to my most beloved city in the entire world, Buenos Aires. That trip was due of a classification match of the Chilean national soccer team. But that wasn’t the main thing, I was happy because I went with my grandpa and family, that was his first international flight.

We went on March of 2017, from Wednesday to Sunday. The first day was the match, the Monumental was the home of the soccer encounter. Argentina was local, Chile the visitor, so we had to go together with the Red Marea, that was a terrible experience, but the fact of could see a match into a giant stadium was great. Chile lost, but that was statics only.

The second day was amazing, I took part of a manifestation for the justice in the human rights violation cases happened during the dictatorship, “son 30.000” said the banners. I took the first photos near the congress of the nation, and the last ones, at Plaza de Mayo. As a photographer and journalism student, it was necessary, staying at Buenos Aires, I had to go. 

  

    

Later I went to buy some chocolates and to visit the national library designed by Clorindo Testa.

The last day we went to the libraries and to the Teatro Colón, the night ended with a tango show, there was a lot of wine, that was great!

I always wanted to go to Buenos Aires, I could go on 2012 for first time, the last was during 2019, but the 2017 visit, for the things I lived, is one of my most memorable and favorite holidays ever!
