As if lunch at Museo Evita wasn’t enough, another opportunity for fun later presented itself last night. It was billed as Wine and Flamenco, so four of us decided to go for it. It was more than just a wine tasting though, as there was also good food to go with each wine.
Unfortunately there was no flamenco dancing, but the singing and guitar music was lovely.
Undoubtedly, though, the star of the show was the place itself. It’s called El Jardin (the garden) and it’s another of those San Telmo gems you don’t see from the street, but when you get inside it’s absolutely beautiful. We climbed some lovely stone steps to the second level, which was where the wine tasting and show were. The tables are in a long narrow space surrounded by flowers and trees, and being outdoors we could look up to see the sky above us. We all said we’d like to see it during the day, but right now they are only open for special events in the evening. Fingers crossed they will open for lunch soon.
The place has an Andalusian vibe, which was perfect for the Flamenco music.
What a beautiful place. I’m very jealous of your burgeoning social life! We’re back in lockdown again😤
I have fingers, toes and eyes crossed it won’t be too long before you’re back here, Ali — can’t wait to show you what else there is in Buenos Aires besides Alejandro’s tango lessons. (Although they are still among my favourite things!)
