This is a board game invented in Argentina, the most common way to play this game is by guessing a movie scene by some images from the movie, it is based on Spanish movies, there are over 400 cards for the players to guess what movie it is, and over 17oo of questions, it can be played by 2 to 20 people, the game would end around 60 minutes, the way to win this game is to see who guess the most amount of correct answers and they will win the game. This board game might be an endangered culture because now when people meet each other, they will often use chats or interesting events on the internet when they have time, less people play board games now since the internet is already very convenient, and for this particular game, it allows people to guess the movie, but there are more oppositions in the internet, therefore the culture of people playing movie types of board games are less seen.

In Argentina, people use their knife in their right hand and use the fork in their left hand, these types of manners are split into the American way and the continental way. The American way is when using a knife, switch your fork to the left hand and use the knife with your right hand, but when you won't use your knife, place it on top of the plate and change the fork from your left hand to the right hand and continue. the continental way is to always use your fork with your left hand and use the knife with the right hand without changing or switching its position. People think that this action is being polite to other people when dining, this is a unique culture where people are trained to eat properly in public, this could be a respectful action for Argentinas, and in comparison, Asian people don’t really care how or what people use to eat food, and because of this, people that still continue this manner is very unique in modern days.

Pato, also known as juego del pato, was the national sport of Argentina (1953 - 2010), which in Spanish translates to “duck game”. This game is a mixture of polo, basketball and the fictional sport from harry potter - quidditch, it was originally played with a duck, 2 hoops, 2 teams of four people and horses, the players fight for possession of the duck, and they score by throwing the duck made ball into a vertically positioned ring, the winner is the team that scored the most goals after 6 8-minute periods. There are very little to none safety rules in this game, causing many players to be trampled to death by the horses and this caused the pato to be banned by the roman catholic church many times in history. Pato was the national sport of Argentina, but as globalization happens, football took its title as the national sport of Argentina and Pato has now become the traditional sport of Argentina that is played by the wealthy.

Everyone has heard about the Argentine tango. it is a musical genre and accompanying social dance that originated at the end of the 19th century in Buenos Aires. the lyrics for this genre of dance surround the ideas of nostalgia, sadness, and lost love. the dance is known for its intimate movements, it involves two dancers embracing closely, intricate footwork and a fluid, improvisational style where they guide each other through movement and connection

The origins of tango are unclear because very little historical documentation from that era exists. all we know is that it was most likely developed in the late 1900s in working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, and was practiced by Argentine dancers, musicians, and immigrant laborers. the culture of Argentine tango was later blended with other cultures such as African, indigenous, and especially European cultures

In Argentina, gift giving is a very normal action to do, people give gifts to each other when visiting their home, going to a party or just meeting each other, but there are also some etiquette people prefer you to follow, for example, they prefer less expensive gifts because if the gift is expensive, people would think you are bragging. Another example would be, when you go to another person’s house, giving them wine, flowers, chocolates or even tarts would make them feel good because they often share gifts they receive with other guests in their home, therefore it would be an action they appreciate a lot. This is a unique culture because the action of gift-giving became a more polite action than appreciating other people. This is a culture that would last long because this makes people feel comfortable and this also became one of their manners.

Since Argentinians are Latin Americans, they are used to kissing each other on the cheeks when they meet each other, this is one of the traditions they are used, they think that this is a polite way to show respect when they meet each other, no matter who that someone is, they would gladly accept kisses. This is a very unique culture they have, these types of traditions might make other people feel uncomfortable, but in Argentina, this is a way to show respect to other people, and the way they give each other kisses doesn’t affect people’s actions, therefore this culture might not disappear since this has become one of their daily habits.

In Argentina, people always greet each other with a kiss which is sometimes also extended into a hug depending on how well you know the person. It is also proper to introduce yourself to a group of people rather than waiting for the host to do it; and yes, most likely everyone should receive a kiss. Our Spanish classes in Buenos Aires should prepare students to also add 'mucho gusto' (nice to meet you) or 'encantada' (enchanted) to the greeting.

Pleases, Thank You's, and You're Welcomes

The people of Argentina are very polite and although laid-back in nature, still have very good manners. Students studying Spanish in Argentina, do not be afraid to say please, thank you, or you're welcome whenever you can as kindness goes a long way over here. Here are some different ways to say it all in Spanish; Gracias (thank you); Muchas Gracias (thank you very much); Muy amable (very kind); Por favor (please); Puede ser (it's possible?); De nada (you're welcome) Por nada (for nothing).

Dress

Argentines are slightly more formal and conservative in their dress. It is a good idea for students in Spanish immersion courses in Buenos Aires, especially women, who would like to avoid that extra 'attention' to try to dress like the locals do. Men wear suits to work but often look well kept when not working. Women, although very fashionable, are more covered up even in the hot summer months. Try to dress depending on the situation, if you are not sure, just take a look at what others are wearing and imitate.

Hand Gestures

True to their Italian origin, Argentines also use many hand gestures to communicate and express feelings to others. Perhaps one of the most noted Argentine hand gesture is the hand swipe under the chin; this invokes the idea of the speaker having nothing left to say at their statement, of course, they do continue on talking. There are just too many hand gestures to describe so just keep an eye out and ask when you are not sure of its meaning.

Relationships

Oh this is a big one and for any students studying Spanish in Argentina that have dated someone from here will know there are many cultural differences to be observed. Perhaps this is too deep of a discussion for such a small description; for you cross-cultural love birds out there, just keep in mind that cultural differences can create misunderstandings even when you are speaking of the same thing. But they can also create a much deeper level of communication. Be patient with your mate, ask questions, and be open to each other's cultures.

How to eat like Lionel Messi, with recipes to try for his favourite dish and restaurants to visit when you get a chance.

In a sport where speed and agility reign supreme, only a few footballers could match the agility and nimbleness of Messi during his heyday at Barcelona.

Whether representing his country at the World Cup or playing for the Blaugrana, La Pulga's extraordinary quickness on the pitch, amazing ball handling skills and lethal left foot make him one of the most exciting and creative players in football today and one of the game's best athlete, which is a special accomplishment in itself given he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency at a very young age.

Now 36 years old and in the twilight of his career, the undisputed GOAT and eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has proven he can still perform close to his best as he tears Major League Soccer to shreds with his new club Inter Miami.

The 2022 World Cup winner has been incredibly resilient throughout his long and illustrious football journey. With age, however, comes a greater attention to his match fitness, and remaining one of the best performers at the top level involves making certain sacrifices when it comes to eating and fitness regime.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about Lionel Messi's eating habits, including his favourite food, restaurant and cheat meals.

What is Lionel Messi's favourite food to eat?

Even though a global superstar, Messi seems to stay true to his roots, especially when it comes to his favourite food. He is a self-confessed fan of Argentine speciality beef dishes Milanesa Napolitana and Asado.

A favourite in Argentina, Milanese is a breaded cutlet made with a variety of ingredients such as ham, salt, oregano, fried beef, chopped tomatoes, onions, cheese, and a hint of sugar. His mother's recipe for the chicken variation is his all-time favorite dish.

In his mom's version, the eggs are mixed with chopped parsley and the breadcrumbs are spiked with garlic and Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. The chicken is quickly pan-fried in olive oil until golden brown, topped with the sauce, ham and cheese and baked.

"My favorite food? My mother's milanesa. I don't know. The sauce perhaps that goes on top of the milanesa. I don't know, I ate a lot of good ones, but it must be the first one, the one I always ate at my house," Leo Messi told Ole.

It's quite heartwarming that the Argentine prefers his mother's dish over plenty of delicacies he has tried over the past years. As well as loving his mum's Milanesa, Messi likes eating Asado, which is a true BBQ party in Argentina when the meal is full of meats such as beef, lamb, sausage, hearty dishes. He has a huge stainless steel asada - which translates as "to grill" - built into the kitchen of his home in Miami.

As per a 2020 post on Barcelona's official website, Messi loves eating roasted chicken with root vegetables that provides all the necessary nutrients for a balanced diet. This dish combines the benefits of complex carbohydrates found in potatoes, carotenes from carrots, potent antioxidants from thyme, leek, and onion with antimicrobial properties, and lean protein sourced from chicken.

It's highly-recommended ahead of an intense training session, providing increased power, improved agility, coordination, and helps massively to gain strength whilst maintaining muscle mass. Other foods on Messi's favourite list includes pizza, green eggs and ham, rice and beans.

How to make Milanesa Napolitana - step-by-step recipe

List of ingredients:

How to make:

1. Take a shallow pan or container. Whisk the eggs with oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper.

2. In another pan, pour the breadcrumbs and stir in the parmesan cheese and garlic

3. In another shallow pan, take the breadcrumbs and stir in the parmesan cheese and garlic.

4. In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil. Dip the steak in the egg mixture first and then in the bread mixture and place it on the skillet.

5. Cook for several minutes until the steaks turns golden brown in colour.

6. Drain the steaks with paper towel and place it on baking sheet. Turn the oven broiler on and top each steak with a slice of ham, tomato sauce and Mozzarella cheese.

7. Top it up by sprinkling Italian seasoning and keep steaks in the broiler till the cheese melts and then serve.

Which restaurants does Lionel Messi eat at?

Naturally, Messi is living the life of an A-lister in Miami. His most lavish expense so far has come in the shape of his stunning $9 million (£8.6m) home in Fort Lauderdale. It features its own boat dock, eight bedrooms, nine and a half bathrooms, a three-car garage, and its own luxury pool.

The luxury abodes' prime spot in Fort Lauderdale means that they are well placed to make the most of Miami's best restaurants along the beachfront. And it's fair to suggest, Messi and his family have explored the eateries with their friends since moving to the Magic City.

Located on Miami beach, Italian restaurant Cafe Prima Pasta has been a favourite haunt of Messi and his wife Antonella even before his Inter Miami switch. Often swarmed by supporters looking for photos, Messi often takes a secret exit door to leave the restaurant.

The Italian hotspot has been serving up pasta for three decades, having opened its doors to Miami Beach in 1993, and it is no stranger to wining and dining celebrities with the likes of NBA legend Michael Jordan, Pitbull and actor Michael Caine with a private room available for reservations. It's a reasonably-priced eatery, with pasta dishes starting at $19.95 (£16) to the most expensive around seafood linguini costing $26.95 (£22).

He has been frequently spotted at trendy restaurant Gekko, a Japanese-inspired steakhouse and lounge. Serving sushi, $1272 (£1,000) steaks, and signature cocktails - it has become quite the celebrity haven, with Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, and Bryan Cranston just some of the high profile guests to have eaten there in recent months.

Other special items on Gekko's menu feature lobster, olive-fed filet mignon, chilled oysters with watermelon granita and more. Inter Miami owner David Beckham introduced Messi to the restaurant as soon as he arrived. Beckham took the Argentinian out for a dinner along with his former Barcelona team-mate Sergio Busquets. They were joined by their wives, as Antonella, Elena, and Victoria Beckham celebrated Messi's arrival.

The Messi family had also dined at the SoFlo staple, where the most expensive main course on the menu is the skirt steak served with truffle fries and grilled asparagus at $36.95 (£29).

Does Lionel Messi eat cheat meals or junk food?

Even the world's leading sports stars enjoy a cheat day every now and again. Messi is no different. It is well-documented that the Argentine superstar loves having pizzas occasionally.

In arguably the peak of his powers, during Barcelona's 2014/15 treble-winning season lining up alongside Neymar Jr. and Luis Suarez to form the iconic M-S-N front-three, Messi was asked to request a post-match meal for September and the 5ft 5in magician opted for a simple Margherita pizza. The Italian delicacy is the staple mark of a cheat meal with toppings galore often added to the standard bread, tomato sauce and cheese dish.

However, that was when he was younger, now he is more conscious of what he eats, to preserve his career he has tried to cut out pizzas, red meat, pork, cheese, and fizzy drinks as much as possible from his diet. He is still known to have a sweet tooth, though.

Speaking with TN30, Messi was asked about his dietary choices given his longevity and quality at the highest level over his career. The 36-year-old Inter Miami ace revealed that he has a simple taste in food and spoke about his love for sweets.

"I am very simple when it comes to meals: asado, milanesa, pasta, chocolate, dulce de leche, ice cream... I like everything that is sweet, I'm in love with it. I try to eat little but every now and then I like it," Messi said.

A plate of toast with dulce de leche spread on top is another one of his preferred cheat meals. That has 315 calories, seven grams of fat, 55g of carbs, 32g of sugar, and seven grams of protein.

Mates are drinks that contain lots of caffeine as tea, Argentians take them all around with them, and they drink everywhere and at any time, it is very unique that they share the same straw, no matter who that other person is, your family, your friends, people you just met or even someone you don’t even know, Argentinians just share their mate with other people. This culture is very unique because most people in other places wouldn’t take a drink as a tradition that they already got used to, this means that sharing mates with other people has already become a manner in that country, and other countries where they don’t have this culture would first feel unique but after some adaptation, they would also get used to this, and the video could show it.

In Argentina, football is the most popular sport, 2022 Messi and his team won the World Cup, which brought honor and glory to the people, it was a big and important event for all Argentine citizens, and their passion for football never stopped, and the history of football has gone with them for a very long period of time, everyone that plays football or watches football would know that Argentina is a place where people show love for football, it is also one of the most known talents Argentinians have. This is a very unique culture that the people have, their passion for football cannot be put with other countries, and they also show hard work in this area. In Diego Maradona’s biography, he led the Argentina football team into the World Cup in 1978 again and he became one of the legends in football history.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Diego Maradona, in full Diego Armando Maradona, (born October 30, 1960, Lanus, Buenos Aires, Argentina-died November 25, 2020, Tigre, Buenos Aires), Argentine football (soccer) player who is generally regarded as the top footballer of the 1980s and one of the greatest of all time. Renowned for his ability to control the ball and create scoring opportunities for himself and others, he led club teams to championships in Argentina, Italy, and Spain, and he starred on the Argentine national team that won the 1986 World Cup.

Maradona displayed football talent early, and at age eight he joined Las Cebollitas ("The Little Onions"), a boys' team that went on to win 136 consecutive games and a national championship. He signed with Argentinos Juniors at age 14 and made his first-division debut in 1976, 10 days before his 16th birthday. Only four months later he made his debut with the national team, becoming the youngest Argentine ever to do so. Although he was excluded from the 1978 World Cup-winning squad because it was felt that he was still too young, the next year he led the national under-20 team to a Junior World Cup championship.

Maradona moved to Boca Juniors in 1981 and immediately helped them gain the championship. He then moved to Europe, playing with FC Barcelona in 1982 (and winning the Spanish Cup in 1983) and then SSC Napoli (1984-91), where he enjoyed great success, raising the traditionally weak Naples side to the heights of Italian football. With Maradona the team won the league title and cup in 1987 and the league title again in 1990. Maradona's stint with Napoli came to an end when he was arrested in Argentina for cocaine possession and received a 15-month suspension from playing football. Next he played for Sevilla in Spain and Newell's Old Boys in Argentina. In 1995 he returned to Boca Juniors and played his last match on October 25, 1997.

Maradona's career with the Argentine national team included World Cup appearances in 1982, 1986, 1990, and 1994. He dominated the 1986 competition in Mexico. In a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over England, he scored two of the most memorable goals in World Cup history. The first was scored with his hand (the referee mistakenly thought the ball had struck his head), a goal now remembered as the "Hand of God" goal. The second occurred after Maradona gained possession of the ball at midfield and dribbled through a pack of English defenders and past the keeper before depositing the ball in the goal. He did not finish the 1994 World Cup, because he tested positive for the drug ephedrine and was again suspended. Maradona also played on South American championship-winning teams in 1987 and 1989.

A stocky and tenacious midfielder, Maradona became a hero of the lower classes of Argentina (from which he hailed) and of southern Italy, where he led Napoli to victories over the wealthier northern clubs. He played 490 official club games during his 21-year professional career, scoring 259 goals; for Argentina he played 91 games and scored 34 goals. An Internet poll conducted by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association named Maradona the top player of the 20th century.

In 2008 Maradona was named head coach of the Argentine national team. Shortly after leading Argentina to the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup, he and the country's football governing body could not agree on a contract extension, and his tenure as the team's head coach ended. In 2011 Maradona was hired to coach the United Arab Emirates club Al Wasl. However, the team struggled, and Maradona was fired the following year. He worked for several other clubs before becoming coach of Mexico's Dorados de Sinaloa in 2018.

This is a unique culture for the Argentine people to play this, usually, people play truth or dare for these kinds of jokes, but when people really bring it out as a board game, it would become very interesting, but this might be a risk as well because people can also play these kinds of games online

Judaism believes that there is one single god, it emphasizes god's relationship with the Jewish. Judaism and Christianity believe in the same god, but the difference between them is that Judaism does not admit Jesus as god's son. the sacred text of Judaism - the Torah, contains the first 5 books of the Bible, and they only believe in what the first 5 books of the bible say, while Christianity is based on the entire bible.

paganism is a term used in the 4th century by Christians for people in the Roman Empire who practiced polytheism, other other religions other than Judaism. meaning they defined people who weren't Christian and Jewish as a pagan.

pagans believe that "the divine is with us in the natural world, not in some faraway place in the sky." and they often believe in multiple gods and goddesses.

paganism is not technically a religion, but more like a belief, like atheism. (atheism is the belief that there is no god, but it is not a religion)

paganism plays a big role in impacting Argentina, it creates cultural diversity, bringing a variation of religions and beliefs to the country. paganism also plays a part in indigenous influence, as stated before, paganism is a belief that is not Christian or Judaism and is polytheistic, this results in many indigenous religions in Argentina being pagan.

The tango dance, origin isn’t in Argentina but because the people in Argentina love to dance this type of dance, it became one of their culture as well. Most people will dance the folk dance where people dance in a Chacarera way, this is the type of tango that people would do when they want to express their joyful mood, it only requires people to click the other person’s fingers instead of holding hands or arms, then stay with eye contact, the other person will do the same, try to stay in the same tempo and the dance is finished. This is an endangered culture for Argentina because folk dances are really unknown to other people, and people only dance them when they want to express their happy vibe with another person, but options other sides the Chacarera way could be more entertaining and good viewing, therefore this culture of people dancing the folk tangos might disappear.

Tango - it takes two baby!

Sensual, intense and dramatic, the tango is Argentina's best-known export. A distinctive art form, the tango is recognised worldwide as the definitive Argentinian dance (though Uruguay lays claim to it too!).

With intense eye contact and complex and intricate footwork (goodness knows how the women manage it in those heels!), the tango evolved among the working classes living around the Rio de la Plata in Buenos Aires and Montevideo between 1850 and 1910.

These areas were melting pots of cultural influences from descendents of African slaves, Creoles, European immigrants from Spain, Italy and other countries, and the (a kind of tough and unruly Latin American cowboy culture).

Milongas - the tango social

The tango is a very social dance. Tango social events called milongas are held for aficionados of different levels to meet others and dance. Milongas are plentiful in Argentina, Latin America, North America and Europe, and as the popularity of the artform has spread around the world, so too have milongas. So it's easy to find places and people to dance with no matter where you are in the world, from Beijing to Berln, or Melbourne to Mozambique. And Paris of course.

Folk dances

While Argentina is known for the tango more than anything else, the country also has a long list of traditional folk dances most people haven't heard of. Many of these dances evolved long before the tango with the indigenous communities. And they are nothing like tango at all.

Carnavalito - upbeat old-world dance

The Carnavalito for instance is a hilarious high-energy group dance with pairs frantically jiggling their heads and jumping in unison. With arms linked the dance is performed in serpentine rounds in a circular motion. It is an old-world dance that was common before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, danced by the indigenous Quechua population. It's a frenetic dance requiring vigorous movements and a must-see for any visitor to the north of the country.

Malambo - an Argentinian dance for men

The malambo is a dance of men. Performed to a drum beat played on a bombo legúero (a traditional animal skin drum) and guitars - no vocals -, it evolved from the gaucho culture. It features synchronised energetic footwork that can look a little like flamenco with whips, or sometimes like a cross between Irish dance and tap dance performed by dandy cowboys in heels and puffy pants - though very much still a bald display of masculinity.

Some contemporary performance groups have dropped the traditional malambo garb in favour of a sexier look such as tight black leather pants and open shirt (keeping the heels) which has given the dance more widespread appeal. Done well, it can be very impressive ( Simon Cowell thought so when Malambo group Malevo performed on America's Got Talent in 2016). Occasionally girls can be seen performing the malambo in local town groups though it's unusual.

La Murga - the carnival dance

La Murga is a Carnival street parade performance - an in-your-face theatrical art form combining music and dance. Performers wear bright elaborate costumes, and sing and dance with loud whistles, percussion, symbols and sparkle. They perform joyful dance moves in rough formations with lots of jumping around in more or less synchronous formations often with incredible energy and agility.

The murga evolved from a coming together of European and African influences. It was started by a group of gaditanos (Spaniards from Cadiz) who performed in hotels with no crowd success so they decided to take their act to the streets where it became hugely popular. With increasing popular participation, it evolved into the carnival parade groups of today. The murga is often linked with social and political commentary, and to the spirit of protest and freedom. Groups often incorporate well-known songs and change the lyrics to suit their show.

Chacarera - Argentinian folk dance

The Chacarera is a joyful folk dance that was born in Argentina. It is danced in pairs in the open position (not touching or holding your partner's hands or waist) with arms raised and outstretched, fingers clicking. With the arms held high the couple perform intricate foot work, while maintaining eye contact and performing their graceful movements in a circular motion.

Zamba - a dance of seduction

The Zamba is an interesting picaresque dance performed in pairs. The couple, in open position, use handkerchiefs to send messages to each other while they dance. It's a fun, elegant dance, also performed in circular movements with lyrics of romance and love. The couples hold high and twirl their handkerchiefs while facing each other and dance with varying rhythms around an imaginary circle. It is a love dance that simulates a wooing and capitulation and ends with a simulated kiss - so brush your teeth.

These are just a few examples of traditional Argentinian dances, but there are many more - la cueca, el cuarteto, el chamame, la cumbia, among others. Argentina is also a great place to dance other Latin dance styles such as Salsa and Bachata with lots of local clubs offering the chance to learn and dance. And for tango learners and dancers, attending a milonga is a not just a great way to experience this iconic dance, it's an amazing immersive experience of local culture.

Argentina's worldwide preeminence on the polo field reflects the nation's divided social base, the hardiness of its horses, and the skills of its riders. Steeped in the gaucho tradition and having the open fields of the Pampas on which to practice, a ranch hand with the necessary talent can attain high renown and modest wealth at either polo or horse racing. Both the wealthy and the urban middle classes attend exclusive sporting clubs offering tennis, yachting, or power boating. Rugby football is played in several private schools. There are excellent hiking and fishing areas in the Lake District of the Patagonian Andes, where San Carlos de Bariloche attracts crowds of skiers during the winter. In the summer months bathers pack the beaches at resorts such as Mar del Plata, though the waters of the Río de la Plata itself, once available to all comers, are polluted and have been declared unsafe for swimming.

The most popular sport among the Argentine working class is football (soccer), introduced by the British (as was polo) in the 19th century. Professional football offers players of even the poorest backgrounds a chance at wealth and fame; as inspiration they look to such national football stars as Diego Maradona, who was perhaps the world's leading player in the 1980s and '90s. Argentine teams are generally among the best internationally and are often contenders for the World Cup.

A peculiarly Argentine game dating perhaps to the 17th century is pato ("duck"), which is played on an open field between two teams of four horsemen each. The riders attempt to carry a leather ball (originally a duck trapped in a basket) by its large handles and throw it through the opposing team's goal, which is a large hoop on a post.

A majority of Argentines enjoy viewing televised sporting events as well as dramas, game shows, and other television programs, including North American comedies dubbed into Spanish. Telenovelas (soap operas) made in Argentina and other Latin American countries are particularly popular, and many locally produced serials are exported throughout the region. Movies, many of which originate in the United States or Europe, are also viewed avidly. Increasing numbers of Argentines have bought personal computers and begun accessing the Internet.

Media and publishing

The mass media in Argentina are well advanced among Latin American nations. In Buenos Aires the largest newspapers are published, and many have electronic editions on the Internet. The largest daily circulation is claimed by Clarín; two other large-circulation dailies, La Nación and La Prensa, founded in 1870 and 1869, respectively, have high reputations in the Spanish-speaking world as well as among the international press. Página/12, a more recent addition, provides thorough independent coverage of Argentine politics and cultural affairs. The English-language daily Buenos Aires Herald is also widely available throughout the republic. Foreign-language papers are common in the capital. Buenos Aires is a centre of publishing in South America.

The majority of radio and television stations are privately operated, although national and provincial governments operate some 15 television stations. Throughout the country's postwar history the broadcast media and press have periodically become agents of state propaganda, only to be returned to some independence by succeeding administrations.

The following discussion focuses on events in Argentina from the time of European settlement. For events in a regional context, see Latin America, history of. Events that affected northwestern Argentina prior to the 16th century are described in pre-Columbian civilizations: Andean civilization.

The population of the area now called Argentina may have totaled 300,000 before the arrival of the Europeans. Some of the indigenous peoples were nomadic hunters and fishers, such as those in the Chaco, the Tehuelche of Patagonia, and the Querandí and Puelche (Guennakin) of the Pampas, but others, such as the Diaguita of the Northwest, developed sedentary agriculture. The highlands of the Northwest were a part of the Inca empire.

Early period

Discovery and settlement

The main Atlantic outline of Argentina was revealed to European explorers in the early 16th century. The Río de la Plata estuary was discovered years before Ferdinand Magellan traversed the Strait of Magellan in 1520, although historians dispute whether the estuary was first reached by Amerigo Vespucci in 1501-02 or by Juan Díaz de Solís in his ill-fated voyage of 1516. Solís and a small party sailed up the Plata, which he called the Mar Dulce ("Freshwater Sea"), and made landfall. Ambushed by Indians, Solís and most of his followers were killed, and several disappeared. The survivors of the expedition returned to Spain.

The Río de la Plata was not explored again until Magellan arrived in 1520 and Sebastian Cabot in 1526. Cabot discovered the Paraná and Paraguay rivers and established the fort of Sancti Spíritus (the first Spanish settlement in the Plata basin). He also sent home reports of the presence of silver.

In 1528 Cabot met another expedition from Spain under Diego García, commander of a ship from the Solís expedition. Both Cabot and García had planned to sail for the Moluccas but altered their courses, influenced by excited tales about an "enchanted City of the Caesars" (a variant of the Eldorado legend), which later incited many explorations and conquests in Argentina. While Cabot was preparing to search for the fabled city, a surprise attack by the Indians in September 1529 wiped out his Sancti Spíritus base.

Inspired by the conquest of Peru and the threat from Portugal's growing power in Brazil, Spain in 1535 sent an expedition under Pedro de Mendoza (equipped at his own expense) to settle the country. Mendoza was initially successful in founding Santa María del Buen Aire, or Buenos Aires (1536), but lack of food proved fatal. Mendoza, discouraged by Indian attacks and mortally ill, sailed for Spain in 1537; he died on the way.

In the same year, a party from Buenos Aires under Juan de Ayolas and Domingo Martínez de Irala, lieutenants of Mendoza, pushed a thousand miles up the Plata and Paraguay rivers. Ayolas was lost on an exploring expedition, but Irala founded Asunción (now in Paraguay) among the Guaraní, a largely settled agricultural people. In 1541 the few remaining inhabitants of Buenos Aires abandoned it and moved to Asunción, which was the first permanent settlement in that area. In the next half century Asunción played a major part in the conquest and settlement of northern Argentina. The main population of Argentina was concentrated there until the late 18th century. Buenos Aires, reestablished in 1580 by Juan de Garay with settlers from Asunción, was largely isolated from this northern area. Northern Argentina as well as Buenos Aires was settled mainly by the overflow from the neighbouring Spanish colonies of Chile, Peru, and Paraguay (Asunción). There was little direct migration from Spain, probably because the area lacked the attractions of Mexico, Peru, and other Spanish colonies-rich mines, a large supply of tractable Indian labour, accessibility, and the privilege of direct trade with Spain. Nevertheless, in the early communities a simple but vigorous society developed on the basis of Indian labour and the horses, cattle, and sheep imported by the Spaniards, as well as native products such as corn (maize) and potatoes. Some of the Indians worked as virtual serfs, and densely populated missions ( reducciones) established by the Roman Catholic church played a notable role in the colonizing process. European men often took Indian wives because there were few Spanish women among the settlers.

It takes its name (Cave of the Hands) from the stencilled outlines of human hands in the cave, but there are also many depictions of animals, such as guanacos ( Lama guanicoe ), still commonly found in the region, as well as hunting scenes that depict animals and human figures interacting in a dynamic and naturalistic manner. The entrance to the Cueva is screened by a rock wall covered by many hand stencils. Within the rock shelter itself there are five concentrations of rock art, later figures and motifs often superimposed upon those from earlier periods. The paintings were executed with natural mineral pigments - iron oxides (red and purple), kaolin (white), and natrojarosite (yellow), manganese oxide (black) - ground and mixed with some form of binder.

The artistic sequence, which includes three main stylistic groups, began as early as the 10th millennium BP [Before Present]. The sequence is a long one: archaeological investigations have shown that the site was last inhabited around AD 700 by the possible ancestors of the first Tehuelche people of Patagonia. The Cueva is considered by the international scientific community to be one of the most important sites of the earliest hunter-gatherer groups in South America during Early Holocene that still maintains a good state of preservation and has a singular environment formation, unique at Santa Cruz province.

The rock art, its natural environment and the archaeological sites on this region are some of the very important reasons that made this area a focus for archaeological research for more than 25 years. They made an impact on the observer due not only the deep gorge walls surrounded by a privileged landscape, but also by the artistic compositions, variety of motifs and its polychromies. These scenes represent a unique evidence to know aboutthe first Patagonian hunters' behaviour and their hunting techniques. Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas contains an exceptional assemblage of cave art, unique in the world, for its age and continuity throughout time, the beauty and the preservation conditions of the paintings, the magnificence of the collection of stencilled outlines of human hands and the hunting scenes, as well as the environment that surrounds the place of exciting beauty and for being part of the cultural value of the site itself.

Criterion (iii): The Cueva de las Manos contains an outstanding collection of prehistoric rock art which bears witness to the culture of the earliest human societies in South America.
Integrity
The inscribed property encompasses 600 ha with a buffer zone of 2,338 ha. The attributes of the property, represented by the archaeological site, the surrounding setting, and its artistic depictions, that convey the Outstanding Universal Value of the Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas, are fully present both in the nuclear and buffer zones and have not been altered and do not face any imminent threats due to development or negligence.

The habitat surrounding the archaeological site remains intact and has the same animal species depicted through cave art approximately 10,000 years ago. This also applies to plant species. As mentioned above, this is a particular, unique, and a typical setting, both at a provincial and regional level, with great value for the preservation of the Argentine natural systems. The favourable conditions (very low humidity, no water infiltration, stable rock strata) at the rock shelter have ensured that the state of conservation of all but the most exposed paintings is excellent. However, the increase of tourism to Patagonia in recent years has resulted in damage from human vandalism. These has included graffiti, removal of fragments of painted rock, touching of painted surfaces, accumulation of dust and refuse, etc. although measures undertaken have reduced impacts from these factors.
Authenticity
The authenticity of the rock art of the Cueva de los Manos is unquestionable. It has survived several millennia untouched and no restoration has been carried out since it became widely known to the scientific community in the second half of the 20th century. The archaeological excavations have been very restricted, so as to obtain the maximum cultural information for dating the art with the minimum disturbance to archaeological layers or to the appearance of the rock shelter.

Scientific excavations have made it possible to relate the cave depictions located in the site to the communities living in the region since the 10 th millennium Before Present. The evidence of the excavations made in the cave area led to the establishment of context links between the cultural levels and paintings. The authenticity of the pictorial sequence was also verified by in-depth research. The art sequence of the Cueva de las Manos is based on a detailed study of overlapping, the different use of hues, its various states of conservation, and the location of the depictions along different defined sectors. Its relation to the various cultural levels of the site is supported by carbon dating and indicators showing a direct association with them, such as mineral pigments or remains of painted fragments that came off the wall and found in the excavations.

These elements, along with research evidence and interdisciplinary analyses, strongly support the authenticity of the Cueva de las Manos site as a unique example of one of the earliest hunter-gatherer communities living in the South American region in the Early Holocene.
Protection and management requirements
In 1975 the Province of Santa Cruz issued the law N° 1024 for the conservation of historic, archaeological and paleontological heritage. At the provincial level, the Government of the Province of Santa Cruz declared the City of Perito Moreno as the Archaeological Capital of Santa Cruz, because of the importance of the archaeological site of the Cueva de los Manos, by Decree No 133 of 13 May 1981. The National Congress of the Argentine Republic declared the Cueva de los Manos a Historic National Monument by Law No 24.225 of 20 July 1993. In 1997, the Government of the Province of Santa Cruz promulgated the law N°2472 for the protection of the provincial cultural heritage. In 2003 National Law N°25743 for protection of archaeological and paleontological heritage was promulgated.

In 1997 a management plan was presented for the global administration of the site. It proposed many specific actions that had been carried out along the last 10 years of management: local permanent custody, visitor management strategies and an interpretation centre at the reception area. Additionally, assessments of the state of conservation of the site and natural deterioration causes were implemented, along with geomorphologic and geotechnical studies of the area and rock art conservation surveys.

The Cuevas de las Manos Site Committee was formed in March of 2006. It requires strengthening for the implementation of its activities and to ensure its operation and continuity. It would be very important to have a permanent presence of the Committee at Perito Moreno, closest village. This would facilitate decision-making when it is needed to solve concrete problems.

The National Sovereignty Day ( Spanish: Día de la Soberanía Nacional) is a national public holiday of Argentina, celebrated during November 20. It commemorates the Battle of Vuelta de Obligado, which took place on 20 November 1845 during the Anglo-French blockade of the Río de la Plata. Argentine Confederation forces, led by Juan Manuel de Rosas, were attacked by a combined Anglo-French fleet. Although the attackers broke through Argentine defenses and routed Rosas' forces, the heavy losses they suffered proved that foreign ships could not safely navigate Argentina's internal waters against its government's wishes. The battle also changed political attitudes toward the Argentine Confederation among other South American nations by increasing support for Rosas and his regime. The day was enacted as a national observance in 1974, following a request from the revisionist historian José María Rosa, and promoted into a national holiday in 2010.

José María Rosa was the first one to make reference to November 20 as the Argentine's National Sovereignty day. It was in 1950, during the second administration of Juan Domingo Perón. The Peronist government did not endorse openly the historical revisionism of the history of Argentina (which sought to modify the mainstream perspectives over Juan Manuel de Rosas), but it allowed public manifestations of it. Perón himself admired Rosas and the battle of Vuelta de Obligado since his time in the military school, but did not engage in the historiographical controversy during his presidency: he maintained that " I have enough problems with living people, to fight with dead people as well". The Rosist revisionism was forbidden during the peronist proscription of the Revolución Libertadora. The first official mention to the date was done by the governor of Buenos Aires province Carlos Aloé in 1953.[citation needed ]

In 1954 José María Rosa and Ernesto Palacio created the "Popular organization for the repatriation of the remains of General Rosas". Rosas died in 1877 in Southampton, and his body hadn't been returned to Argentina. Law 20.769 was proposed to both repatriate the body of Rosas and create a Day of National Sovereignty by Senator Cornejo Linares. The proposal was approved on November 14, 1973 by the Senate. It was approved with amendments by the Chamber of Deputies, and returned to the Senate. The new version did not include the new observance but just the repatriation. As a result, deputy Gallo proposed a new law, law 20.770, specifically for the new observance. Both laws were approved on September 25 and 26, 1974. Law 20.770 was promulgated by executive power the following October 3.[citation needed ]

In 2010, year of the Argentina Bicentennial, president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who openly supports the Argentine historical revisionism, made a new proposal to increase the number of holidays in Argentina. One of the proposals was to turn the Day of National Sovereignty into a national holiday, instead of just an observance. The proposal was later promulgated by a Necessity and Urgency Decree on November 3.[citation needed ]

The new holiday was first celebrated in 2010 at Obligado, the site of the battle, in an act with the presence of the president, revisionist historian Pacho O'Donnell and other politicians. The celebration included the inauguration of a monument of the event, created by Rogelio Polesello.

The Radical Civic Union (UCR) was Rosist at its early times, and praised the ideas of the old federalists. The colours of the shield, red and white, reflect that affiliation: federalists wore red badges, and white is the colour of the White Party from Uruguay (the modern National Party), of Rosas' ally Manuel Oribe. The UCR distanced from those ideas in later years, embracing the anti-rosist historiography instead. For this reason, some people was surprised by the presence of Leopoldo Moreau, one of the leaders of the UCR, among the invited guests.

The new holiday did not generate any political controversy.

Maundy Thursday is a public holiday that people celebrate with their families and friends, the purpose of this celebration is to appreciate the time people can send their love. The original story came from the bible. When Jesus and his disciples entered Jerusalem, he knew that he was going to get betrayed by Judas (one of his disciples), he ate his last supper with all of them and gave love and care to each of them, the action showed forgiveness and caring to the people he loved. In Argentina, people want to thank Jesus for his sacrifice, therefore they celebrate the Maundy Thursday each year. This is a unique culture for all of the people in the country to celebrate a particular religion together as a whole, this also shows how the holiday people should do, relax and spend time with each other, therefore this culture would last longer than people expect due to modern lifestyle.

An architecture style that features the  Argentina culture, From 1880 to 1920, the capital Buenos Aires was the most richest and famous city, the people wanted to create a dream city for a new century, and the major architecture style was the Neoclassical. Neoclassical architecture is similar to the Greek and Roman temples, white clear walls, long pillars, a bit of French windows, gigantic entrances, etc, this type of architecture is most often as schools, banks, hospitals, or even public buildings.  For example; the Metropolitan Cathedral in  Plaza de Mayo is a church that used to be for the Catholics, but now it is considered a museum for personal exhibition usage. This is a unique culture in Argentina because these types of buildings are protected well and are full of old-century type of architectural vibes. It is very unusual for the country to own and create lots of architecture that does not region in it, but it is considered as an Argentina culture now for it’s amount of buildings.

From 2:18 to 2:36 is the architecture

Art Nouveau, known as the hallmark style of architecture in the 20th-century TV show comedy, most hallmark style would include old fashion taste, feminine elements, and classical decorations. For example, in the Yacht Club Argentino near the northern dock, the architecture implies lots of European windows with circle shapes on top of each, in the 20th century there were lots of designs such as this, and the building also has half sheds in the surrounding of the second floor, on the first floor, there would be outer space and arcades for walking, this is also very similar to the 20th store designs. This type of architecture is endangered in Argentina because this isn’t their own culture, the uniqueness and specificity of this style aren’t as outputting as in the old times, meanwhile, when Americans also had better saves of this type of architecture, Argentina type of buildings would be much unlikely to save in a long time.

Here are some extra information about the Abasto Shopping Center

Art Deco, a type of architecture that was most popular from 1925 to 1940, the most outstanding design of this architecture is its black fences with delicate designs of its shape, the building itself would have simple white bricks, stringed oil lamps, long thin black entrances, lots of thin windows that are invisible, and most of all, exquisite stone cravings. An example would be the Abasto Shopping Center in Buenos Aires. Art Deco is a unique culture that people have saved through the years, the unique type of design is very glamorous in modern cities, and there are also plenty around Buenos Aires, each piece of architecture is also saved completely, having these old types of buildings in 2024 is very unique, but due to its uniqueness, I don’t consider it to be endangered because people like these places, therefore for tourism usage, Art Deco buildings won’t be abandon.

Argentina is the country of tango and barbecue is one of the most visited places by European travelers in Latin America. Argentine traditions impact and surprise visitors. Many of them end up being adopted by those who fall in love with this charming South American country.

You are probably thinking of getting some tickets to the southern tip of America to get these traditions. And as a very good thing to plan trips is to investigate a little of the country you want to visit. Here we have some Argentine traditions that you will want to know.

10 Argentine traditions that will surprise you

Greet with kiss

Argentines are incredibly affectionate people. And although in most Latin American or European countries it is very common to say hello with a kiss, for some cultures this can be strange. It ends up being much weirder when men greet each other with kisses too.

It doesn't matter if it's your friend, your brother or a complete stranger. Argentines have this strange way of greeting. Once you arrive in the country, you will realize the effusive way in which they greet each other in Argentina.

The sensuality of Tango

One of the main attractions of Argentina, especially the city of Buenos Aires is Tango. A sensual dance and musical genre that has gained international fame for its attractive way of being. This occurred during the mid-twentieth century when the multiculturalism generated by migration from Europe made this a unique dance. On your trip through Buenos Aires, Iguazú and Patagonia, you can enjoy this dance. As well as the elegant neighborhoods of the capital and its excellent cuisine.

Get together with friends to make a barbecue

Friends are very important for any Argentine or Argentine. That's why they enjoy meeting to share unique moments. One of the most common meetings is roasts. In these meetings, they enjoy the best meat that the country produces to share with the barbecue. This is one of the most widespread and well-known Argentine traditions in the world.

Football is a religion

The country of Maradona and Messi, the greatest soccer players in history, cannot be any other. In Argentina, football is lived in a different way. The passion of the field extends to all corners of the country. Buenos Aires is the city with the most football stadiums in the world and home to one of the most important rivalries of this sport, the Argentine Superclásico, Boca Junior vs River Plate. When you visit Barrio La Boca, you will understand a little more about what sport means in a place where people live for football.

Share Mate, a sacred ritual

Every Argentine in any part of the world carries his Mate, his grass and his thermos. This drink is indispensable in the lives of Argentines. However, what makes this one of the most unique Argentine customs is the way in which Mate is taken. Although you could take it alone, the common thing is that Mate is shared among friends. Therefore, it is very common to see a group of friends sitting sharing the drink with the same bulb and passing the Mate from hand to hand.

Always talk about politics

And that of sharing the Mate goes hand in hand with another of the Argentine traditions par excellence, always talking about politics. Although it is usually an issue that generates conflicts, Argentines are experts in always talking about politics. No matter the time or place, an Argentine will always be trying to talk about these issues.

Argentine empanadas

Although empanadas exist of all kinds throughout Latin America, Argentine empanadas have a special touch. This is one of their typical dishes and when you try them you will be completely in love with them.

Empanadas are also important because of the way they are prepared, a perfect confection one by one with a variety of recipes that you should try when you arrive in Argentina.

The alfajores

Although they are a traditional Andalusian sweet, they arrived in Argentina at the time of the colony to become a typical and traditional dish. These are two round cookies made with wheat flour and butter, joined by an exquisite caramel.

Dinner almost midnight

The life of an Argentine person is quite hectic. Between sharing time with friends, enjoying food and living the long nightlife in the cities, the day gets longer. That is why Argentines have a habit of having dinner quite late. So, prepare a snack for mid-afternoon, because very early, you will have dinner after 21.

Carnival and typical festivals

In Argentina, carnivals are lived in a unique way. That is why this Argentine custom will surprise you, especially in the northern states of Argentina such as Córdoba.
