Cordoba (Argentina)

Cordoba, the second largest city in Argentina, can easily compete with its Spanish counterpart after which it is named. It's a cool city with plenty of things to see, a nice atmosphere, a big pedestrian area, too many shops, trendy bars and really good restaurants. In fact, the latter means it's actually better than the Spanish Cordoba (Sorry to my spanish friends, but your national cuisine sucks big time).

We were still overloaded with touristical excursions, museums and guided trips, so basically we continued doing what we started in Salta: wandering through the city and a lot of eating and drinking. The city is quite big, so it took us some days to see everything, but that didn't matter. We really enjoyed these relaxed days without any time pressure.

Joke invented a nice game when we were sitting on a terrace: counting the short-haired girls, which are really hard to find here. On four days, we saw two short-haired girls. Yeah, people do interesting things when they're getting drunk on a sunny terrace... :-)
