Arrived in Rosario, 12th March, following a 4 hour bus ride through flat, green and fertile agricultural land. After checking into our Hostel we went straight out for a walk down the pedestrianised central street down to the river for a walk and meal. You can not move for people jogging, cycling, skating and enjoying the public parks and walkways it gives the town a lovely atmosphere. Second day we saw the colossal monument to the designer of the argentine flag (Manuel Belgrano). He is buried beneath it, overlooking the Parana delta which Rosarinos are very proud of along with the fact that Che Guevara and Lionel Messi were both born here. Day three we found a wonderful Parrilla (steak house), which was taken over by the staff after the owners went bust and is now run as a cooperative and had some fabulous steak, then to Rosarios microbrewery Fenicia for some real ale. Later that evening the Hostel owner had an Asado (argentine BBQ) at the Hostel for his birthday with a combination of friends, family, and international guests from the Hostel which was really lovely, so we had more beef for supper!
