**Buenos Aires** It is the capital and largest city of Argentina. It is located on the western shore of the estuary of the Rio de la Plata, on the southeastern coast of the South America continent. This city constitutes the third-largest conurbation in Latin America, with a population of around thirteen million. Buenos Aires is the political, financial, industrial, commercial, and cultural hub of Argentina. Its port is one of the busiest in South America; navigable rivers by way of the Rio de la Plata connect the port to north-east Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. As a result it serves as the distribution hub for a vast area of the south-eastern region of the continent.

Manufacturing is prominent in the city's economy, concentrated mainly in the south side. To the west of Buenos Aires there is the productive agricultural region of Argentina. It produces wheat, soybeans and corn. Meat, dairy, grain, tobacco, wool and leather products are processed or manufactured in the Buenos Aires metro area. Other leading industries are construction, automobile manufacturing, oil refining, metalworking, machine building and the production of textiles, chemicals, clothing and beverages.

About the culture, Buenos Aires is strongly influenced by European culture; this city is sometimes referred to as the "Paris of South America". It has the busiest legitimate industry in Latin America, with scores of theaters, productions and numerous museums related to history, fine arts, modern arts, decorative arts, popular arts, sacred art, arts and crafts, theatre and popular music, as well as the preserved homes of noted art collectors, writers, composers and artists. The city is home to hundreds of bookstores, public libraries and cultural associations, as well as the largest concentration of active theatres in Latin America.

Buenos Aires, in my opinion is a wonderful city full of harmonious public spaces and great architecture. I got to know this city last year and I was surprised with it beauty, friendly people and delicious food. It is a city full of history and a great place to visit. media type="file" key="writing3.mp3"
