Rosario – an Argentinean Beauty in 33 pictures

“In Rosario you'll find the most attractive women in Argentina!” This is what you come to hear from argentineans if you speak about your intention to visit this city. During my stay I realized that the city itself is a real beauty queen – the pictures of this photo essay show you why.

I came to take a break from travelling, to improve my spanish skills and to relax. This place was perfect for that and really enjoyed living in Rosario for more than 1,5 months. This student city is a great place to be as it offers all amenities of a big city but isn't that hustling and bustling like for example B.A.: if you stay in the microcentro you can walk or bike everywhere, you have great parks to relax and on the weekends you can party hard in one of the numerous clubs. And you can meet beautiful people.

Curious? Let's get to know this place better:

Healthy! I found the inhabitants to be very sportive and considered about health - beside those colorful greengroceries you meet a lot of jogger running along the promenade in the evening.

    Hi, The bike graffitti that you posted in a photo here has a story. There are many bike graffittis around the city that relate to "El Ángel de la Bicicleta", Pocho Lepratti. He was a militant killed by the Police on the riots/crisis of Argentina in 2001. He even has a song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cvb3g7bHUI. Thought you should know.
