Mary, indeed, it’s a fascinating street – originally known as “the spine of Buenos Aires” – because it’s the zero point for the streets that branch off it in opposite directions (all streets that cross Rivadavia change their names and reverse the counting of addresses in the opposite direction). Well, perhaps it is a worthwhile project to undertake – and I’ve certainly done other walks that were around 2 kilometers in length for writeups – so this could get broken into somewhere between 4-6 sections.

Yesterday I noticed some really beautiful old buildings in streets I wouldn’t even have looked at if it hadn’t been Saturday earlyafternoon and empty. And its watershed function (streets change their name as they cross it) may make it necessary to consider both sides carefully. It may take longer than you plan, it isn’t a barrio, but usually commercially the most important street in the neighborhood and as I said before, a divide (“that’s on the other side of R”, etc.). Anyway, good luck. Btw, have you done Coghlan already? I got lost there once and found an incredible graffiti, must try and find it again…

I’m sure I’m not the only one who really enjoys these mini travelogues- always interesting, and most informative.
