For centuries, the city on the Río de la Plata has attracted a variety of immigrants and visitors, making it one of the most diverse and contradictory metropolises in the world. Between dictatorship and protest, wealth and crisis, street art and opera, shopping mall and autonomous centre: the Argentinean capital is an endless historical and cultural voyage of discovery and much more than tango, football and beef steaks. A floating supermarket, a hidden orange grove, a monument to Little Red Riding Hood and an emerging vegan scene - Buenos Aires will surprise you 111 times in this book.
