Many people declare their love towards the cities. There is a mass of people in love with  Paris, New York, Rio de Janeiro, and, of course, Buenos Aires. People, thousands of kilometres away, yearns for that metropolis located at another latitude which makes their heart beat in other language.

But love, the real passionate one, usually means something more carnal.  If we delve into the love towards cities, we could find some romance, occasional or not,  which has made  the visitors` stays more interesting

Love has always been a powerful reason for travelling,  those people who fall in love while holidays are predestined to go back the premises looking for that indescribable sensation.  However, for the last decade, internet has got the record of  love stories at distance.  Thanks to the e-mail, blogs, forum and chat, day by day thousands of people from any part of the world meet each other, like each other and even fall in love with a person without asking “Where are you from?”. The question appears later, and then the air tickets and pocket dictionaries with forty basic phrases in order to survive in another language country.

In Buenos Aires, we boast about having the most attractive women and men of the world, women or men.  Besides, tango makes people breath romanticism. Not so many foreigners have had this experience. The list is endless, it includes the singer Joaquin Sabina who fell in love with a young lady to whom he dedicated a song: “Dieguitos y Mafaldas”, the American actor Robert Duvall, who came with his wife from Salta in order to make a film about  tango, the Puerto Rican singer Mimi Maura, who has lived here for a decade together with the musician Sergio Rotman, the Slovak philosopher who met his future wife during a lesson in the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, the rock star Dee Dee Ramone, who lived  in La Plata for a while with his Argentine girlfriend…and thousands and thousands of strangers in love.

Have you ever fallen in love while holidays? Would you travel due to love? Do you think that Buenos Aires is a romantic city?
