Córdoba Travel Blogs

Background: Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in democratic consolidation.

So I made the decision.... to head for Cordoba, much helped by the fact that two of the girls I´d met on the wine tour were going, so hopped on the overnight bus with them and 10 hours later we arrived. This was one of the fabled "cama" buses; big leather seats, blankets, pillows, movies and stewardess service... not so bad, although it could have been a little cooler. Still, for 25 quid...! The city seemed pretty quiet (but then again it was 7am) and then we found out that there had been a big party last night as today was [View Full Entry]

dingy streets, dodgy salami, late night tango. Tango classes are stalling somewhat,its difficult for the man at the start as you have to learn the moves and guide the lady but the rewards can be great... silk adorned mermaids await in dingy sultry ball rooms with the fans blowing above or outside on a leafy balcony where a smokey brunette might ask you - de donde sos? The seductive nature of the tango culture is what gives buenos aires appeal, apart from being cheap. Its time to move on though as the noisy polluted backstreets are starting to impose themselves on [View Full Entry]

Wurst and Oopma After the excessive noise in Cordoba, we needed a break. We needed quiet. We needed tranquil. So, way earlier than we felt like waking up after our fiesta at the hostel the night before, we headed to the minibus station and boarded a two hour bus to Villa General Belgrano. VGB was settled by survivors of the German battleship Graf Spee. VGB is a small town of about 6000 residents and has a decidedly German feel, although most young residents no longer speak German. We knew we had just missed their Oktoberfest celebration by almost two weeks, [View Full Entry]

Another no pictures email cos we´re still in Cordoba (though leaving tonight) where the computers just aint up to handling the might of the 12 megapixel beast Shorty has brought with us. Damn shame. We´ll gets them up though, dont you worry. Know you can´t wait for snappy snap joys of the O´Molfe viewfinder. So we´ve been in Cordoba since last monday (it´s now Sunday 25th October). Had a great first couple days, Cordoba is a great city, all beautiful and that, and then on a day trip to Che Gruevara´s home town of Alta Gracia the Rolfe ankle gave way [View Full Entry]

Food - an Argentinean Obsession When we left Buenos Aires, we boarded a double decker bus headed to Cordoba, towards the west of the country. We were expecting a ten hour bus ride and purposefully chose a day bus versus a night bus so that we could see the countryside. Well, imagine a ten hour bus ride through Texas. Or Kansas. Or Oklahoma. Same Same. It was flat, dry, with straight roads, some horses and cows. For over ten hours. We were fairly exhausted when we arrived, but were excited to be in a smaller city, even though Cordoba is [View Full Entry]

I took the overnight bus from Mendoza to Cordoba (9 hours). However, bus travel in Argentina is excellent. I went first class with what the call a "cama suite". It was a single seat that folds down flat into a bed. Cordoba has many Jesuit churches, a good university, and cultural sights. It is the 2nd largest city in Argentina. [View Full Entry]

So, a long drive back to BA and i arrived back at 5am, so 21 hours awake so far, and i had to jump straight onto a 12 hour bus to Cordoba. Decent journey, but no sleep, so 6pm in Cordoba and pretty tired. Still, no rest, i was meeting the tour group at a Ranch in the middle of nowhere. Another bus for 1 hour to a place called Rio Ceballos, which is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. Now, the ranch is a really secretive, and there is only one way to get there using a local [View Full Entry]

Well it turns out that going Cama suite on the bus really is the only way to go. We could only get semi-cama for our 16 hour bus ride from Salta to Cordoba and we didn´t sleep a wink. Our plan was to arrive this morning, drop off our bags and wander about the city until 10 p.m. when we catch another(!) 10 hr overnight bus to Mendoza. Did I mention that we figure we have the swine flu as well???! Not a pleasant trip when you can´t breathe in addition to everything else. We arrived this morning in the pouring [View Full Entry]
