The city of Buenos Aires and its outskirts are home to more than 12.000.000 people who are called "porteņos" by the rest of Argentines. BA has one of the highest levels of cultural activity in Latin America and a very interesting history.
Turning its back on Spain, its mother country, Argentina always looked to Paris and London, and even American cities like New York, Boston and San Francisco for culture and fashion. Perhaps that is why one of the first things to surprise visitors upon arriving in this marvelous metropolis is the arquitecture architecture which includes turn of the century neoclassical palaces and the multiple
cultural expressions which can be seen on billboards everyday.
