Description

Discover El Abasto, "unofficial" neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires. "Arrabalero" par excellence, home of the undisputed Carlos Gardel. You will discover the fascinating history behind one of the most emblematic buildings: the Abasto Market. You will be surprised with all the details of the emergence of a unique and unrepeatable neighborhood.

We will travel to the beginning, to the golden times: boom and expansion of the area; also to its closure and abandonment, until its resurgence and the current context. The Abasto welcomed immigrants and Creoles for more than a century, thus creating its own identity. Theaters, circuses, fondines, canteens and bars were built there, giving it a unique, picturesque lifestyle, full of great stories and anecdotes that we will learn about in its streets to understand the keys to the porteño spirit.

We will visit the places where Gardel started, his house, bars, and the secrets of an epic life. You will also get to know the authentic world of tanguerías, milongas and tango houses like a local, and not in an artificial way.

Don't miss the opportunity to experience the secrets of a mythical neighborhood where the identity of Buenos Aires was forged.

Deep background

Although we were the only one he made an enthuastic tour about Abasto and the famous Tango singer Gardel. At the end very good recommendation for local Tango singers. El Boliche de Roberto Bulnes 331, C1176 ABE, Cdad. Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentinien

Pasión porteña

Joaquin fue un guia maravilloso que relato la historia del Abasto y el origen del tango con gran pasión. El relato es super ameno y va surgiendo a medida que une los datos que nos brinda con las preguntas y aportes de los participantes. Joaquin tiene una gran sonrisa y simpatía que invita a sumergirse en su relato y te lleva de viaje al pasado donde la historia que cuenta se origino. Recomiendo ampliamente el tour!
