The image many have of Buenos Aires is of a city with a lot of older buildings in a state of “elegant decay”. There are sections of the city that have undergone modernization, and the eastern part of Buenos Aires has developed an attractive modern skyline.
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!

On balance, I prefer the “elegant decay” – but obviously one cannot expect the newer parts of a city to be built in the same style as the old centre. The cafes along the promenade look inviting.
I agree, Professor. I’m a fan of “elegant decay”, so long as it doesn’t slide into slum. Sometimes it’s a fine line, but most of what you find in Buenos Aires feels safe to visit.
