weeks back, on our way from barrio chino (chinese district), we saw this open-air milonga. it was such a joy to watch people dance. i’m not into tango but Karol says we definitely need to try some lessons so maybe i’ll give in and let my legs become tangled up soon.
commentused to say one of our english landladies about some palace near her house. or maybe it was about the tower of london?
i think of these two words when, during one of our long walks, we get to monumento de los espanoles (el monumento a la carta magna y las cuatro regiones argentinas is its proper name).
maybe…
…it was given by the spanish community in argentina for the may revolution centenary
…it wasn’t easy to build. its first two sculptors died (one even before he managed to finish the sketches), a couple of years later the ship carrying marble and bronze sculptures for the monument sank, then spain wanted a replacement of the materials back…
…its inauguration was delayed because, ekhm, the sidewalk and lights around it were not ready…
…it was covered by 35m cross for the purpose of the international eucharistic congress in 1934…
…it is over 100 years old…
…it has the statue of republic on top and five allegories: the work, los andes, the river plata, la pampa and the chaco below…
but most definitely…
…people love it for its pool
