Top Reasons Why To Love Summer In Buenos Aires:

Tits and Ass on the News

It wouldn’t be an Argentine summer without tits and ass shown on TV – and LOTS of it. Everywhere you look HOLA TETAS, HOLA CULOS.  It’s like a Wild On E! / MTV Spring Break / Crónica TV special.


The Commercials

Argentina is known for their funny, inventive commercials – especially when summertime rolls around.  These pretty much exemplify how the creative and funny content that comes out of these publicidades.

Speedy: Oriundos Verano 2011

Sprite: De Lejos Están Todas Buenas

Claro: El Tema De Verano


Real and Fake Beaches

Once someone told me that the best Argentine beaches are in Uruguay.  But despite what these beach snobs say, there are beautiful weekend vacation spots along the Costa Atlántica.  Steer clear of the Mar del Plata craziness, which might be comparable to the Jersey Shore, and check out more relaxed destinations like Mar Azul, Cariló, Mar de Las Pampas and Villa Gesell.

As Artificial As The Tetas

If you can’t make it to the real beach, no need to worry – you can stay in Capital and still get the whole playa experience: yellow umbrellas, sand, beach volleyball, outdoor showers – you know, everything important minus the actual ocean. Visit Buenos Aires Playa, Peru Beach or even a plaza in your barrio and it’s almost like the real thing.

Empty Subte

Riding on the subway can be hell on earth – it’s like walking into a sauna with horny men pushing up against you and pushy old ladies with slapping their hand fans in your face.  But when summer rolls around, the number of sweaty men with dripping arm pits manage not to get up in your grill, and elbowing middle aged woman (and men) tend not to push so hard to get a seat. What a time to ride the subway!

    I think the worst people on the subway are older men. They do all the pushing and they smell the worst.

    P.S. My favorite commercial is totally this one:

      You mean to say Uruguay and Argentina are two different countries?!! All these years living here and I thought Uruguay was in Zona Norte… ;)
