I think he was working on my being here 3 months of the year.

I have often thought along those lines, it may be true, but I am Anglo Saxon and like having my own place. The answer will only be known when I sell and that is not something I see happening in the near future. For what I paid I could have bought a seaside caravan on Anglesey, it would be after...

There is a wealth tax of 1% PA, not applicable if you have less than $250,000 and DNI. No DNI you pay on everything. When you come to sell they will assume that when you were not here, you rented and tax you accordingly. As for rents. To rent out to Turistas ( The only way you will get $1000...

I have read these posts with interest. I know some on this site have made money on the property market here, but to do that you need to be on the spot and at specific times. If like me you live away I would only say this, "do not buy with money you are not ready to loose". There is a big tax...

Good luck with that, but if I can offer just a little advice; you can send your passport number as numero de document. That is what I always use when asked, but I have always failed to get into the big concerts, usually you have to be registered with one of the telephone companies.

I think it may be a global problem, but with inflation at over 40% saving by any means is all but impossible.

Join the queue. There are more hopeful English teachers here than Tango teachers.

In ten years here in Almagro, I have only seen one crime. It is all about being with and like the locals. That said, in the so called safe areas, Palermo, Recoletta and Micro centro, I have been manhandled and had many attempts to rob me. The thing is; the ladrones know where the touristas hang...

I have visited since 2004 and bought an apartment in 2008. I always intended to stay permanently when I retired. Reality took over though, just doing the day to day stuff can drive you nuts. We send mail, for instance, to the UK. one guy in the Correo just puts a stamp on it and it is done...

I was here then, people were out in the streets with their cameras. Two days later I was walking around in shorts again.

I take your point, but I thought that this post was about costs for visitors, as much has been said about eating out and rentals. Most people reading and commenting are not, like you, living on and Argentine income. To live with this level of inflation is a nightmare. Anything imported is...

I will have to check it out. It's a bit off my route and I wonder if I would be welcome in A Gibraltar bar.:p

I live here in January to April on the equivalent of £1000 a month. That feeds two of us, pays the utilities, takes us to a Milonga every day and eat out twice a week. We shop locally and get great service, last night we had a meal for two, two litres of Stout and spent 500pesos with tip. If...

I worked all my life in factories. Any small thing was picked on for making fun. The thing I find most difficult is the modern way of taking offense, so when Argentines take the mick, I just accept it and feel comfortable.

There is no Guinness here, but an acceptable substitute is their black beer. Ask for cervesa negra or stout (pronounced stoat). Some places advertise it but do not actually stock it. The more of us who ask, the more places will stock it.

I keep a constantly updated list of places to see, as I am often asked when I am home. You are welcome to browse and use a you want. Seems you will have to email me if you want it. This site will not allow.

If you can walk down Florida without being constantly hastled by "Cambio" I will be surprised and pleased.

They will not let me post a birthday card to the UK now without my passport. Getting close to the time that they stop you on the street and demand "Papers".

I never believe British newspapers, even on British news.

There is no need to be rude. My point was that they would not let me check in at the airline. Are you now saying you can check in when overstaying?
