Salta

When I arrived in Salta, I was amazed. I couldn't believe how European the city looked. I could have been in Italy, or Spain. A large plaza adorned the middle of the town; a fountain within, open air cafes surrounding. It's easy to forget sometimes (especially with the recent financial crisis) that Argentina was once one of the richest countries in the world at the turn of the 20th century. But the cities, the cities remind you.
