The ‘other’ barrios

Friday, September 26th, 2008

For a city with so many well-known barrios (or nieghborhoods) very few people step out of famous Recoleta, posh Palermo, high-end Canitas, trendy San Telmo or the bustling Centro.

However, there is far more to Buenos Aires than just these ‘guide book’ barrios. Buenos Aires has an incredible number of other barrios that are rich in culture, people and interesting stories. La Boca is known for its colorful housing and of course nearly every Argentine’s beloved stadium but even still, it borders on touristy when going for a visit.

Barracas is one such neighborhood in Buenos Aires that is located on the other side of the Centro from Palermo and Recoleta, near Congreso and is absolutely booming with the ‘up and coming’. The streets are cute and charming and the housing is cheap and incredible. It does require a keen eye when it comes to staying safe, but Barracas is so popular in fact that it is rumored that several Hollywood celebrities are buying property in what will soon be the ‘next San Telmo’.

So next Saturday or Sunday with nothing to do, go explore the REAL Buenos Aires.
