The delightfully vintage <b>Cine Premier</b> at number 1565 Avenida Corrientes, was the perfect place to see Oscar-winning film <i>The Artist</i>. Only a handfull of people, a black and white silent movie and the faint sound of the film reel projecting its image onto the big screen.

Punta del Diablo is a small fishing/surf village on the coast of Uruguay, close to the Brazilian border. We recently rented a small faded-yellow cabin and took advantage of the lovely April weather with lots of swimming, relaxing, reading, exploring and eating.</div>

Walking along the street <i>Ciudad de la Paz</i> today to get to my doctors appointment, this building blew me away. Imagine living here and walking through this amazing arch every day!<br />
<br />
I found a couple of photos that show it off a little better, from a blog in Spanish called <a href="http://paloarq.com.ar/blog/?tag=pasaje-general-paz" target="_blank">Palo Architecture</a>. There are some great photos from the suburb of Colegiales, so take a look!<br />

You can also get them delivered to your door; the trucks that deliver the 20L bottles of spring water always have crates of soda bottles next to them. I have wanted to get onto the delivery list for soda for some time now, but need to do some more research about how to find one of the companies who still offer it.

Born in Milan in 1885, he came to Argentina when he was 21 and produced almost 50 buildings before his death in 1927 at the age of just 42. Two of his most iconic buildings are located in the neighborhood of Balvanera: The <b><i>Casa de los Pavos Reales</i></b> at Rivadavia 3216 and the<b> <i>Casa Calise</i></b> at Hipolito Yrigoyen 2562, the latter depicted in these photos.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Casa Calise is hidden in the backstreets, away from the tourist circuit. The facade features many decorative features such as cherubs, sculptures, lion heads, the use of different textures and ironwork, and has become one of the iconic examples of the Art Nouveau movement in Buenos Aires.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In order to build this new style of building that broke away from traditional architecture, Colombo purchased the land facing the Casa Calise so that nobody could object to his style. The building that now stands across the street was also built by Colombo and is quite different but incredibly beautiful. Such amazing history in the same narrow street!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The owner invited us inside to look at the building and her shop, which turned out to be quite amazing for two reasons: the collection of vintage books and Argentine memorabilia and the building itself with an amazing ceiling and other architectural details.<br />
<br />
The bookshop is called <i>La Calesita</i> and I am definitely planning a return visit in the near future.<br />

Some more Art Nouveau buildings by Julian Garcia Nuñez. Perhaps his most well-known building the <b>Hospital Español</b> (above) on Avenida Belgrano and La Rioja (only half of it remains today), and below, an office building at Chacabuco 78 in the heart of the city.<br />

His distintive architecture broke away from the traditional academic style and favored the use of different textures and colors, iron work, geometric forms, patterns and lines that reflect flowers and nature.<br />
<br />
He built most of his work between 1906 and 1920 and while some of his buildings no longer stand, many can still be found around the place. Because Art Nouveau was a radical new style of architecture it was not adopted by the government, and the buildings were not constructed in the very centre of the city. As the city of Buenos Aires expanded and now approx. 100 years on, many Art Nouveau buildings are hidden in the back streets of different neighbourhoods.<br />
<br />
This first building I have included was completed in 1913 by Garcia Nuñez as a <i>Casa de Rentas</i> or apartment building and stands in a back street at Sáenz Peña 274 near the <i>Plaza de Congreso</i>.<br />

I found the artist that did the street art on the building in my post below, her name is Antis. She has a lot more art around the place in Buenos Aires, check out more on her website <a href="http://www.dibujantis.com/street.html" target="_blank">here!</a> I hope I run into some more of her work now that I know her aesthetic.

UPDATE: thanks to a fellow Twitter-er who informed me of the reason behind the name! As <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-Three_Orientals" target="_blank">wikipedia</a> tells me<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">"The Treinta y Tres Orientales (English: thirty-three orientals or thirty-three easterners) was a militant revolutionary group led by Juan Antonio Lavalleja against the Empire of Brazil. Their actions culminated in the foundation of modern Uruguay. They became famous by the name of the Treinta y Tres Orientales when, in 1825, they began an insurrection for the independence of Oriental Province, a historical territory encompassing modern Uruguay and part of modern Brazilian Rio Grande do Sul State, from Brazilian control."</blockquote>What was life like before the internet and Wikipedia?

Two thirds of the suburb is full of tall apartment buildings built from about the 1960s/70s onwards, but a couple of areas remain with these old beauties. These are just a couple examples of the grand old architecture that I love.<br />

On closer inspection the house is about four stories tall with a roof-top terrace as well. It must be so old and incredible inside, I wonder if it is full of old furniture, and who owns it. Such a shame that it is just sitting there with no one to bring it back to life. My dream Buenos Aires house!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I honestly don't know how they keep their prices so low. Dinner for two last night cost 75 pesos and you are hard pressed these days to get dinner for 1 at that price. The place always has a healthy number of tourists gracing the tables too, which usually drives prices up.<br />
<br />
It's this type of place that keeps me happy and stops me from losing faith in the ever-crazy world of inflation in Buenos Aires.

The wine label is called Graffigna and they are located in the province of San Juan. I love these oak barrels that are imported from France and that they use to age the wine in for more or less 12 months, depending on the variety.carlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542104487186315121noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009905668041421358.post-69698608023696714472012-01-17T12:39:00.000-08:002012-01-17T12:39:47.328-08:00The Entrance, Niceto Vega<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASB9exGBNFmyTqVxlooLHWl6kspidglAWgjRDIW0sra5QAQFYXSErGUJ6Av1rylQTl-uwXmnSVR2l-1rg0en8bcaYbp7YSuJOs_aTAY9Qxxjll8-aZ_yERvFeloHk0rIM_aIQpNNnC8ss/s1600/building+niceto+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASB9exGBNFmyTqVxlooLHWl6kspidglAWgjRDIW0sra5QAQFYXSErGUJ6Av1rylQTl-uwXmnSVR2l-1rg0en8bcaYbp7YSuJOs_aTAY9Qxxjll8-aZ_yERvFeloHk0rIM_aIQpNNnC8ss/s400/building+niceto+2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>carlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542104487186315121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009905668041421358.post-79763115344425044992012-01-15T14:05:00.000-08:002012-01-15T14:05:21.817-08:00La Señorita<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUjbI17GILH_RKiOaDA30eC5tCbzxNWKJK_jbYDe8KyyPPb82Hjg1r4_HflcOEoCYS3qNsaADa7TPEj4mYxmrG5MwaTJ2M2CwoEGrKJuzamRLhf77Nz5G9SvQI-y_l-QsohAwr3GlLn6tD/s1600/mujercita+villa+crespo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUjbI17GILH_RKiOaDA30eC5tCbzxNWKJK_jbYDe8KyyPPb82Hjg1r4_HflcOEoCYS3qNsaADa7TPEj4mYxmrG5MwaTJ2M2CwoEGrKJuzamRLhf77Nz5G9SvQI-y_l-QsohAwr3GlLn6tD/s400/mujercita+villa+crespo.JPG" width="341" /></a></div>carlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542104487186315121noreply@blogger.com0
