Buenos Aires, with room to wander
A bookshop, a pizza stop and a stretch of green. Three starting points for a day with a little space around its plans.
Culture Buenos Aires
El Faro
A traditional café on Constituyentes with a long connection to neighbourhood tango culture.
- Location
- Avenida de los Constituyentes 4099, Buenos Aires
A place worth knowing
El Faro has occupied its corner since the early 1930s. The attraction is a recognisably porteño café setting away from the central tourist circuit, with a history of tango and community gatherings. It can make a worthwhile destination for a slower neighbourhood outing. Live music and special activities depend on the programme, so check an announced date rather than assuming there is a performance whenever the café opens.
