Abasto, Cradle of Tango and the Porteño Culture
Overview of the tour in Buenos Aires
Discover El Abasto, "unofficial" neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires. "Arrabalero" par excellence, home of the undisputed Carlos Gardel. You will discover the fascinating history behind one of the most emblematic buildings: the Abasto Market. You will be surprised with all the details of the emergence of a unique and unrepeatable neighborhood.
We will travel to the beginning, to the golden times: boom and expansion of the area; also to its closure and abandonment, until its resurgence and the current context. The Abasto welcomed immigrants and Creoles for more than a century, thus creating its own identity. Theaters, circuses, fondines, canteens and bars were built there, giving it a unique, picturesque lifestyle, full of great stories and anecdotes that we will learn about in its streets to understand the keys to the porteño spirit.
We will visit the places where Gardel started, his house, bars, and the secrets of an epic life. You will also get to know the authentic world of tanguerías, milongas and tango houses like a local, and not in an artificial way.
Don't miss the opportunity to experience the secrets of a mythical neighborhood where the identity of Buenos Aires was forged.
