Arteba

Buenos Aires´ contemporary art fair recently took place with an explosion of creativity from artists from all over Latin America. My favorite space was the "new hood" where all the new artists that nobody knows exhibited their amazing work.
I was surprised by how much photography there was this year, and by how many foreigners took interest in this event - probably more than ever.
Also, this year was record in sales, although it was the least expensive works that were mostly sold.

Easter travel ideas

In case you're among the few who will not spend Easter in Punta del Este, here are some other ideas...

INDIGO...






















LAS BALSAS

Jarvis Cocker

Last week, at La Trastienda in San Telmo. Amazing. I love you!

A splendid book store

El Ateneo was selected the most beautiful book store in Latin America. How could it not be?
J.L. Borges used to say that he always thought that paradise would be some type of library or bookstore. This place is indeed heavenly!

At La Huella in Punta - January

Garzon (ghost town in UY) + La Pedrera

While in Punta we drove for about 40 minutes to Pueblo Garzón - a small town close to José Ignacio, and to La Pedrera, a little further. Garzon is a gorgeous village worth discovering... maybe just because there is nothing there, and the tranquility and silence one experiences upon arrival, is almost absurd... just a few, small houses, a plaza, dirt roads, and a posada /restaurant operated by one of South America's leading chef's, Francis Mallmann.
