Architectural Tour of Cordoba at night!

As an  avid enthusiast of Design+Architecture, I highly recommend the following: 

"Architectural Walking Tour of Cordoba at Night "

Starting point: 279 Bed+Breakfast

Transportation: Calamuchita de las Sierras (local bus ride to Cordoba 45 minutes, leaves you in front of your first stop which is El Museo Caraffa)

1st stop: Museo Caraffa
walk across  Plaza Espana to
2nd stop: El Museo Ferreyra
walk down calle Hipolito Hirigoyen to
3rd stop: El Paseo de Buen Pastor. (If you're lucky you might be able to catch the fountain show accompanied by classical music)
walk west to Plaza  San Martin to
4rth stop: El Cabildo.

          After your walking tour, may  I suggest one of my favorite restaurants;

"La Revolucion" 27 de Abril 633. This charming French style bistro is a hidden gem located in the Court House district crossing la canada. The restaurants space + decor are beautifully designed with  a blend of earth tone colors, a nice selection of art work,  intimate  and comfortable seating,  low lighting and a great mix of International lounge music.  Your best bet is the prix fix dinner menu which usually consists of  one of the chef's  delicious innovative cuisine specialties. 
                     
" La Revolucion"  also has an impressive wine list  by the bottle or by the glass !!

A 10 minute taxi ride from El Cabildo.

  

Happy Bicentenario Argentina !

Summertime in the Sierras

 Summer is officially over. The autumn chill is starting to creep its way early evening and lingers on until early afternoon next day. This is the time of year when you  just don't know how to dress for the day. You optimistically put on a sweater hoping that it will carry you throughout the day but by early afternoon, you find yourself in a sweat with the sun full and bright above you.
Trying to understand why it was chilly this morning and then suddenly hot when the weather forecast prediction read otherwise, you annoyingly  peel off your sweater and now have a piece of extra bulk to carry around with you. Luckily, I am from the "tying your sweater around your waist" school of fashion, so although bulky... I've got my city girl solution !
I'll miss Summer in the Sierras riding my bike through the back roads, up and down the winding hills, focusing on the rough terrain while my dog Indiana Jones faithfully runs behind me at greyhound speed. Concentrated on arriving to "La Paisanita", the next town over, the  45 minute bike ride is well worth it knowing that  paradise awaits us. Once there, our private and hidden playground welcomes us with the sun bright above, an open sky, wild foliage, smooth rocks and the warm white water that rushes down stream from the mountains. Alas, natures gift package to us!!

And so, another summer comes to an end in the lovely Sierras of Cordoba.
