Beautiful, relaxed, friendly, stunning Andean backdrop and worrying amount of wine available. A brilliant place for a week or two but it's a bit culturally bereft, living here would do one's head in after a while. You'd also put on a load of weight, the best restaurant's i've come across in South America. Azafran is stunning, 3 courses - a glass of wine with each and all for a tenner.
Last night i was out with a couple of ex-pats and a load of locals, we headed off to a new bar, live music and loads of standing space - unusual in Argentina, everyone sits no one mingles. The locals were extremely surprised when the drummer came over and said hello to me, i had to explain he was a croupier in the casino! Classic. Great night, horrible hangover but all is well - Chelski and Man Utd lost.
Tomorrow i head for Valparaiso on the Chilean coast. A relatively posh B&B, with suposedly great views, is waiting for me. A period of helathy eating, no booze and no casino is definitely required.
