First Weekly Buenos Aires Blog Update

[4th - 10th December 2006]

Hello and welcome to the first of my new weekly highlights posts covering what has caught my eye in the Buenos Aires blogosphere. Think of this a kind of a low-brow Global Voices Online solely covering BA.

Unfortunately, I can’t write in this blog as much as I would like to, but there are many other excellent blogs about BA out there – and so I am going to let them do some of the work for me! Most of the ones I know of can be found listed over at the excellent Bloggers in Argentina.

Each week I will link to the best blog posts I have read that I think will be of interest to visitors to Buenos Aires, and post the links up here, with a little commentary added.

The Four Seasons is found close to the end of busy Avenida 9 de Julio, but at that point the noise is not really noticeable. In fact quite the opposite – it is a peaceful, nice area to stay in, where you would not realize how close to the center you actually are. Add to the mix the fact that some of the best (high range) shopping and restaurants are in this area, and you have one of the best hotel locations in Buenos Aires.
