Almagro

Almagro is a residential neighborhood in Buenos Aires characterized by tree-lined avenues, cafes, theaters, and cultural venues scattered throughout. The area mixes commercial streets with quieter residential blocks where daily life unfolds.

The area began as dairy farms and brick factories in the 19th century before transforming into an urban neighborhood. After 1880, integration into Buenos Aires brought rapid growth and residential development.

The neighborhood holds deep ties to tango through its many dance halls and performance spaces where this art form remains alive and practiced. This musical tradition shapes the character and identity of the area even today.

The neighborhood is well connected by two subway lines and multiple bus routes, with major avenues like Independencia and Rivadavia serving as main thoroughfares. Easy navigation follows the regular street grid with shops, restaurants, and transportation options throughout.

Las Violetas, a cafe established in 1884, preserves the architecture and social atmosphere of the neighborhood's early urbanization period. Its interior spaces show how residents once gathered and spent their time in this part of the city.
