💰 How far does your money go?
A choripán from a street cart costs about €3, less than a bocadillo de calamares near Plaza Mayor. An espresso at a traditional confitería is around €2, and empanadas from a good empanadería start at roughly €1 each. Four or five of them make a full lunch for less than a menú del día in Madrid.
☀️ The Weather
January and February are peak summer in Buenos Aires, with highs of 29-30°C, humid evenings and long days in the parks. By April and May the heat breaks into a dry, mild autumn, with highs of 19-23°C and cool nights. May is ideal for walking the city, with a light jacket after dark.

Feria de Mataderos: A weekend gaucho fair on the edge of the city, with folk dancing, horse skills and empanadas.
