Well, this is where the other half lives. The distinguished neighboring barrios of Retiro and Recoleta are Fancy Schmancy (with a capital F and a capital S). Recoleta in particular is often referred to as "a piece extracted from Paris." No one bothered to tell us to tuck our cameras out of sight in these parts of town. Home to museums, cultural centers, luxury apartments, exclusive hotels and upscale, designer shopping, let's just say that the wide, tree-lined avenues in these areas of the city are completely devoid of graffiti.
Retiro boasts the city's most well-known street, Calle Florida, a pedestrian-only stretch of shopping madness; Recoleta is most recognized for its famous cementeria, the final resting place of Eva Peron.
