Córdoba, Argentina: the cultural what of where?
We took a night bus from Buenos Aires to Córdoba, considered the cultural capital of the Americas or something along those lines. Not really sure why. Neither of us were too impressed and we only spent 2 days there, mostly walking around the city. Nothing really stood out to us as wow or fun or unique. It’s got a plaza, an old church and lots of stores and pedestrian streets with more stores. It was HOT, so we saw a few movies to escape the heat and sat by the litter-strewn river north of town and got bit by ants. We had a good pizza with wild mushrooms that were criminis (I think any mushroom not from a can in this continent is considered wild) and drank some half bottles of local red wine. Other than that, nothing exciting to report. We were ready to leave this town within hours of arriving.
