Cordoba - porque hablas asi??

A city of 1.4m of which 200k are students. In Cordoba we stayed with Romina and her boyfriend, who received us very well. Cordoba is nice to walk through, big avenues; cathedrals; young people; nice center; bars; a big park. The city claims, together with Rosario, to be the second biggest one after Buenos Aires. It has a typical music called Cuarteto which has Mona Gimenez and Rodrigo as its most representative singers. It´s a mix of Cumbia, Ska and Rock. The city also has a very distinguished accent with very unique intonation and well known all over the country. As we were told before and could prove later, the Cordoboses are incredibly friendly and always ready for a joke out of nowhere.

Murta tried mate (typical Argentinean tradition, similar to a cup of tea, which people use to get together and enjoy the moment with friends) and became a fan (he now only thinks of perfect spots to have a mate). In Cordoba we hang out with some friends, two artists we know from Santiago took us around the city and explained us a lot of the Argentinean culture. We manage to be invited by them to have a pleasant lunch on the following day with their family. They took us to Carlos Paz, a small city with a lake where the whole near region spend summer. We also visited Alta Gracia, a small pueblo where Che Guevara grow up and has his old family`s house as a museum.

Another friend of Paulo invited us to have dinner with her group of friends, where we were officially introduced to Fernet (Argentinean alcohol drink that is mixed with coca-cola) and saw the performance of Argentinean “maravilla” boxer, who won the title. 

Another fact to mention in Argentina; we actually like the kissing between men jajjaj we think that it is kind of sign of friendship. Sometimes they don’t give the hand and give directly a small kiss; first yeah you can judge but after you realize that is very friendly and not all gay.
