Getting high with Luciano Marra!
Walking through Palermo, the fashion boutique district of Buenos Aries we came across this amazing heel-wedge designer, Luciano Marra. The heels-wedges are incredible with a unique and original design to each individual pair. Some fantastico detailing, patterns and embellishments.

LA BOMBE DEL TIEMPO
A great thing to do on a monday night in Buenos Aires is to head to the CIUDAD CULTURAL KONEX, which is an old oil warehouse factory that has been converted into an entertainment venue, to see the popular percussion group LA BOMBE DEL TIEMPO!
A group of 17 musicians that play different percussion instruments. It is all based on improvisation through different hand signals. A great place to go and meet other people and travellers, have a few drinks and chill out.

In La Boca hood
La Boca is the oldest, most colourful and authentic neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Between 1880 and 1930, approximately 6 million foreign immigrants landed in the port of La Boca and began work in the warehouses and meatpacking plants in the area.
As they began building homes their supplies were limited, especially the paint. As a solution they used any and all leftover paint they could find from the shipyard. The result of this painting frenzy was a one of a kind neighbourhood that was adorned with every color of the rainbow.
A super touristy spot, but worth seeing. Stick to streets around the main strip, Caminito, as outside this area it the ghetto!!!

| The Boca Juniors is one of the biggest soccer teams in Argentina and happens to be one of the clubs that the soccer great Diego Maradona played for. Their stadium, La Bombonera, is not so surprisingly located in the La Boca barrio! |
