Buenos Aires-28-12-2007 Written by Duncan Mitchel 

A gaucho is also known as someone with Spanish blood, romanticized for South American and similar to the word and usage of cowboys for the North American.These days it is still used in the Argentinean language, and it is still used mostly in Argentina. We still have gauchos, and even more then that we have the modern gaucho. The modern gaucho we can describe as a girl ore boy in Argentina’s Buenos Aires, who has a sense of flavor, style, and most of all love for their own country! This is a person, who totally adores Buenos Aires and knows everything about it, loves to tell stories: cuenta me un cuento!A modern gaucho shops at Ona Saez, drinks a cappuccino in Abasto Shopping hall, goes to La Boca to wonder around and goes to his favorite party’s that Buenos Aires is rich of. In a world of modern gauchos, there is the atmosphere, where friendliness, politeness, tolerance, disorder and mess exist side by side. Openness, sincerity, warm, combined with the great cultural heredity and the triumph of life.One of my friends who is born in Buenos Aires told me something new.Duncan you’re a real modern gaucho!

Back in those days this pictures shows a true old fashion gaucho:

Abrazos y besos!
