La Comunidad Paraguaya / The Paraguay Community

El sábado 12 de Mayo tuvo lugar una nueva edición del "Buenos Aires Celebra", y en ocasión de los 202 años de la Independencia del Paraguay, la Avenida de Mayo se tiñó de azul, blanco y rojo. Se cortaron 3 cuadras de la tradicional avenida y se armaron carpas en las que se podía deleitar uno probando platos tradicionales de Paraguay, mientras grupos de danza y canto creaban el ambiente de la tarde.

Last Saturday, 12th of May, a new edition of the "Buenos Aires Celebra" festival took place, and this time it was focused around Paraguay and its 202nd anniversary of independence. Avenida de Mayo turned blue, white and red as the Paraguayan flag. 3 blocks of this traditional street were cut off to traffic and tents were pitched up in which one could indulge into traditional dishes from our neighboring country. But not only food was available. Typical dancing and singing were also on the agenda for the day.

Retomando el arte callejero, es increible lo vertiginoso del cambio que se ve de día a día en la fisionomía de las calles porteñas. Aparecen del día a la mañana nuevas obras que en su mayoría embellecen el paisaje urbano. Ver también el primer post sobre arte callejero.

Coming back to the subject of street art, it is amazing the way in which the urban fisionomy of the Buenos Aires streets changes with each passing day. New paintings appear overnight, most of them adding value to the visual quality of the city. Check out the first post on Street Art.
