Thank you. Have downloaded and it looks as if itll be a great help. Will also use the Waze App although not sure how many are using it in the area.

Driving to San Clemente from BA tomorrow. Very excited to have a car for the long weekend. Want to leave early to avoid traffic. Any advice? Also any advice on websites to show traffic congestion. Thank you

The reason for the long lines is no one is responsible for them. Like many things here in Argentina there is no incentive to make the lines disappear. Efficiency is the enemy of bureaucracy..

Saw this in our sports shop in Hurlingham. Great for all those dyslexic Welsh Rugby fans..

Just organising our trip to Iguazu through Despegar and are at the payment stage. I now notice that it says 'Tarifa no válida para extranjeros.'. My family are all British but we have Argentine DNIs that says Extranjero on it and we have lived and worked here for 2 years. Does anyone know if...

If it's anything like the Linea San Martin line, within a year they will be filthy by the end of a year. Enjoy them while they're new. We travel on the Linea San Martin frequently and the seats have not been properly cleaned in a year. The windows are already gathering layers of dirt. The idea...

What was the name of the hotel. My kids would love to see some wild monkeys

Many thanks for the replies. Looking into flights and the Sheraton for a few days at Easter.

If you're prepared to wait 4 months and then stand in a queue at Retiro post office all day with the chance that your parcel has already been opened and the contents removed then go for it. We gave up a long time ago which is why none of our parents can send Birthday presents to our children as...

It's true about the limited range. Yet to see pepperami or anything remotely spicy.

Looks like I'll have to use good old conversation for my restaurant recommendations! Hurlingham has only 2 decent restaurants. Went to Ciudad Jardín in Palomar and enjoyed a small pizzeria which we found by simply driving around. The huge pizza oven inside is normally a good sign. Why don't they...

Having explored it further I find the app is ok but there doesn't seem to be a way of searching by map. Also it's a little bit light weight on reviews outside the city centre. Any other recommendations?

Quality copy and pasting.

Great. Perfecto to practice my Spanish with too. Thank you.

I have an unlocked Android LG G2 which I bought in the UK. It works here with Movistar no problems although I had to fiddle with the Apn settings. Makes no difference if it's an iPhone or Android.

Can anyone recommend an Argentine restaurant Review app or website. Would be great to leave feedback too. I've used Trip Advisor but it doesn't work well in the Province and isn't contributed by locals. Thank you

Cristina and Jeremy Clarkson(Top Gear) would get on like a house on fire

Where did you go? Did you have fun? Am in the same boat with two young kids. Need to escape the city and want to have a short break to see some countryside and do some walking. Day trip or overnight.
