The hot spots of Buenos Aires

I have been living in Buenos Aires now for around 3 months and I am IN LOOOVE with this city. Here is a list of some of my favorite places to go to and things the city has to offer.

Markets:

San Telmo Market

The San Telmo Market is a bustling and colorful affair that takes place every Sunday from morning until late afternoon. The market is easily accessible by public transportation, and it's a good idea to bring cash, as not all vendors accept credit cards. 

Solo Trip to Lisbon

Terminal C of Barcelona’s El Prat Airport was nearly empty. I sauntered inside, unused to the feeling of an airport terminal being so calm and checked the list of departures. Across the entirety of the double-sided digital screens, my flight wasn’t there. It was around one thirty and my flight didn’t leave until five minutes before five. I ordered a cappuccino from the only café in the check-in area, sat down, and began to do the only thing that could possibly keep my mind occupied for the remaining three and half hours before take-off-- journal.

Housing Introduction Your housing in Rome and Paris will be reflective of the norms in Europe.

Potential field trip locations for this semester include: Tuscany: Siena, the Countryside, and Beaches Students will get to visit a popular beach in Capalbio, Tuscany, where students can unwind and enjoy a full day at a beach club, compliments of IES Rome.
