la Boca [ENG-SPA]

Good morning everyone, have a happy Sunday. La Boca was, at the time, a port area where many immigrants coming from Europe ventured at the beginning of the 20th century. In which I can name my grandfather among one of them. He, like many others, earned his living, in his youth, as a Laborer to save some money and start his own business. Today I decided to visit this place where one of my ancestors worked, as a tourist and discover things to record with my camera and my cell phone. La Boca today is a place where thousands of tourists come to visit every day. Walking through these cobbled streets is like walking through history, its small metal houses full of color and art. A place full of color and nostalgia, where music is combined, between Tango and Rock and Roll, in a barbecue atmosphere where the typical Argentine barbecue can be breathed in the air as you walk. I decided with my partner to walk around the place along the stream to the Nicolás Avellaneda Bridge (orange in the photo) which is parallel to the Boca Bridge. This bridge is next to the highway and everything vibrates when trucks pass by. The good thing about going up to this bridge is that it has escalators so it was not a problem. Once up I was able to take photos of the Boca bridge. Quite an experience as a tourist. To finish my tour I decided to go for a snack at "La Perla", a Bar-Café that has been there since 1882, a cafe where many celebrities have visited throughout its history, which I was able to enjoy with my partner. I hope you enjoy the photos, as I enjoyed the tour.

Tiger Art Museum [ENG-SPA] Museo de Arte Tigre

Hello, everyone, have a nice and pleasant day. I haven't written here in a while and today I had the inspiration to do so. The Tigre Art Museum was a place that I wanted to visit and for one reason or another, I didn't have the time to do so. But as the saying goes: “there is no evil that lasts a hundred years, nor a debt that is not paid”… so I paid off my debt, my desire to visit this beautiful place. The property can be accessed through several entrances. Entering through a gate that leads to a right side garden of the building, I was surprised to see a fountain inspired by Bosch's painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights”, to which I immediately took several photos of this magnificent work of art. But the most interesting thing was to see the imposing architecture of this building that was inaugurated in the 20th century, more precisely in 1912, by a group of businessmen with the aim of founding a social club for entertainment and sports. Years later, in 1927, part of the club would be converted into a casino. This building has its main door facing the Luján River, it has a long walkway approximately 50 meters long that is accessed from the first floor and reaches the banks of the river where there is a large viewpoint and you can see all the boats that circulate through these waters. From the walkway you can see the garden on both sides decorated with spherical privets forming a kind of worm. The Tigre Art Museum not only preserves an art collection inside, but in itself is an architectural jewel in the Neoclassical style, highlighting its symmetry that transports you to another era. Its structure, with majestic columns, ornate balconies and large windows, reflects the splendor and elegance of a booming society. Every corner of this building invites you to stop and admire its meticulous design, from the imposing staircase to its beautiful stained glass windows. Walking through its corridors is like walking through a fragment of history, where luxury reigned at that time. Without a doubt, a visit to the Tigre Art Museum is an enriching experience for both art lovers and those who enjoy architecture and history. A place that is not only contemplated, but lived, and that leaves in memory the image of a past time full of splendor.

"Pejerrey Club Quilmes" [SPA-ENG]

Hola amigos, tengan todos un buen día. Caminando por por las costas de del río de La Plata a la altura de Quilmes, provincia de Buenos Aires, pude divisar unas construcciones que resaltaban en sus orillas. Dichas construcciones al acercarme pude comprobar que pertenecían al Pejerrey Club. Estas instalaciones fueron comenzadas a construirse desde el año 1938 y aunque me encontré con algunos edificios abandonados, " El pejerrey Club" sigue abriendo sus puertas a los socios activos. Este complejo cuenta con cinco construcciones históricas: el edificio pesquera que fue el que me llamó más la atención y que se parecía a la casa de "los locos Adams" de la serie televisiva; el edificio de la confitería ; el muelle terraza ; el muelle de pesca que aún sigue en pie por lo que pude ver y las piletas de agua salada y los vestuarios que siguen en funcionamiento para los socios. El edificio donde se encontraban los vestuarios cuenta con una cúpula que se destaca a lo lejos. Estas cinco edificaciones fueron declaradas Monumento Histórico Artístico en el año 2014 por una comisión del Ministerio de Cultura de la Nación. Hablando con algunos lugareños pude averiguar que en este sitio se fundó el primer balneario de la provincia de Buenos Aires por una familia Italiana . Que tuvo gran auge a principios del siglo XX cuando las familias de clase media alta venían desde la Capital en tranvía hasta la entrada del Balneario de Quilmes. Fue ahí que pude entender a que se debían las vías que vi llegando hasta al lugar. Pude caminar por la costa y tomar registro en imágenes las cuales verán a continuación.
