If Your Compass Could Talk…

Mar del Plata is like Buenos Aires’ summer home away from home. Almost every city inhabitant takes some time away from the city to enjoy the cool beaches of Mar del Plata. In January and February the beaches are crowded with locals and visitors but the many private beaches along the coast have loung chairs and beach service with beers and food for anyone who is lounging surf-side.

Mar del Plata is only a few hours from Buenos Aires by car and about six hours by bus. So many poeple head to this small city where there is a theater, casino and film festival each year. There is plenty to do, and plenty of places to stay in this lovely get-away from Buenos Aires.

If Buenos Aires has a music season, this is it. This week Pepsi Rock is happening, the following month there is Personal Fest followed by the popular Creamfields. Even Madonna is making a stop by to rock socks with the locals. If you have ganas, check out www.ticketek.com.ar to find out who is coming when, and where you can buy tickets.

Madonna is sold out, but you can still find tickets online at: www.mercadolibre.com.ar.

Enjoy the music!
