Buenos Aires is the third city in the world for artistic inspiration.

According to the editors of Lonely Planet (a travel guide) they published this ranking in the book “Best in Travel 2011”. It is easy to get into the growing literary wave of Buenos Aires: mainly because it is very cheap to spend hours in elegant cafés where the best writers used to and usually go. The ones in San Telmo and Palermo are the ideal ones to drink an espresso among people with artistic inclinations, whereas in the city centre you have the glamorous Café Tortoni previously visited by the famous writer Jorge Luis Borges, says the article.

Al menos según los editores de las guías Lonely Planet que publicaron éste ranking en su libro “Best in Travel 2011”. “Es fácil introducirse en la creciente ola literaria de Buenos Aires: principalmente porque es tan barato pasar las horas en cafés elegantes donde los mejores escritores solían (y suelen) ir. Los de San Telmo y Palermo son ideales para tomar un espresso entre gente de moda con inclinaciones artísticas, mientras en el centro el glamoroso Café Tortoni antes era frecuentado por el famoso escritor Jorge Luis Borges”, dice la guía.

Ex Brewery Munich

Andrés Kálnay fue uno de los arquitectos más prolíficos que tuvo el país. Se estima que construyó unas 120 obras , entre casas y edificios, la mayoría en la Ciudad. Muchísimas fueron derribadas, pero otras siguen en pie, dando cuenta de la fabulosa producción que el húngaro generó en Buenos Aires. La ex cervecería Munich, en la Costanera Sur (hoy la sede de la Dirección General de Museos), es por lejos su máxima creación. Trabajador incansable hasta su muerte, fue además diseñador, escritor, dibujante, artista plástico y condecorado de guerra.
