in the Recoleta neighborhood, giving this area a polished and distinct flavor.
We visit Puerto Madero where in the 1980's a group of specialists
fulfilled their dream of recycling the port. During the last seven years the
project, "Puerto Madero", has been planned and is still in progress. The
result is a lovely center directly on the river, with epicurean restaurants,
italian ice cream shops, and offices, offering a rendezvous for business men
at lunch and friends in the evening for a typical dinner parrilla.
