La plata and the “milonga”

Owing it to it’s relatively recent development, La Plata has a strange and funny street pattern, a combination of grids, diagonals, arcs and round plazas. A bit confusing at the beginning, it is quite efficient in handling the traffic. The buildings look good, as well as the parks and the gardens.

One night we decided to spend some time in a club, where a tango party called “milonga” was taking place. You won’t see fancy dressing, eye-catching bling-blings or people dancing with their beers in the hand at a “milonga”. Instead, everybody will do their best to follow the steps with utmost seriosity. And not being a tourist destination, this kind of entertainment is actually very genuine and affordable.
