Puerto Madero/Along the Waterfront

Saturday afternoon we took the subway to El Centro and walked to Puerto Madero -- the newest barrio in Buenos Aires, along the waterfront. We walked the cobblestone promenade fronting four dikes that lead from the harbor -- passing upscale condos in reclaimed brick buildings, sidewalk cafes lining the cobblestone walkways.



The boy points to the fantastic pedestrian bridge that is supposed to represent a couple doing the tango. It was built mostly in Spain, cost $90 million US and rotates 90 degrees to let water traffic pass.
