I tip generously - I visit Argentina on holiday, sometimes on an extended basis (my wife is Argentinean). I'd tend to leave around 20% depending on the service, how much effort they put into understanding my rubbish Spanish and the overall price of the meal. I got told off by my sister in law...

'Mufa' - taken very seriously. The perfect anecdote to any wish to plan.

I made a purchase using Visa on Saturday PM. It was at the official rate. No improved settlement as yet

That allowance sounds about right. Shop around for currency conversion and don't use the places in Heathrow airport. I don't travel in a particularly budget conscious way, however you can get cheap lunches in the convenience shops like Tesco, Sainsburys, CoOp etc across the UK. £3 ish for a...

My favourites (all in Mendoza as I haven't had the chance to go anywhere else) Bodega Lagarde - great selection of food, either a full sit down experience or snacks. All paired with wine. Tierras Altas - a much smaller Bodega that was less than a 10 min walk from our holiday place. Intimate...

Is the impact to your conscience more or less than 2340 pesos? If it's less, keep it. If it's more then tell them. They'll probably think you're a bit weird. I ordered an Air Con unit on Amazon here in the UK years ago. It arrived, my wife didn't like it, asked me to send it back. I initiated...

Pleased to say I have been to two of these

I've changed $20 (and less) but as others have said it will be at a lower rate. The cuevas we use is well known by the family

Where's your evidence that Macri is more corrupt than Cristina's mob? Cristina and mob have destroyed Argentina over many years - for evidence you only need to see the strength of where the country should be based upon natural resources and capability vs where it is now. To fix the economy...

I've organised all manner of things in Argentina. Yes, I know it will be a massive pain in the arse applying for a digital nomad visa but for various reasons it's good for me to do so.

Yes, I've been 17 times

Do you have that detailed account please? From the online form it doesn't seem too bad IF the forms do not require translation and to be notarised. No offence to those who keep saying it's not worth it for 3 weeks, I'd prefer to make that decision based on how difficult it is to get it. The...

Why isn't it an option? I can't see any links to the application portal or otherwise

Hi all, I've seen online that Argentina may have a Digital Nomad Visa. Does anyone know how to apply for it please? My company allows me to work abroad for up to 3 weeks in a year - but I need to prove that I have the right to work in the location I'm visiting. So coming in as a tourist is not...

Until I can afford to pay the "King of the Trapitos" to travel around in my car with me and defend my car from your average Palermo trapito, then I park where the trapito tells me and pay him/her some money.

I have found that generally the waitstaff in Buenos Aires are fine, and sometimes very good. I did have my first bad experience in TGI Fridays - yes I know we shouldn't have gone there in the first place but we were tired after shopping etc - the bill took ages to come then despite capturing...

Thanks all. Well, we had roast potatoes on Christmas Eve and they were very much enjoyed by all. I don't think the potatoes were quite the very 'floury' ones you get here, like Maris Piper or similar but they were great. Someone else on this thread asked for tips on how to make them, here is...

I think I will retire to a place like this!

Accenture.

Yes - it's very good and it comes as part of the full rack of ribs. Yummy.
