La Colección. Another museum you cannot miss is La Colección. Amalia de Fortabat, one of the wealthiest Argentine women, had a private collection and made it public.

Useful webpages for Spanish Students

www.bridgeargentina.com
The language institute where I worked as a Spanish tutor for ten years. I recommend them to students who are looking for group lessons, open groups (I only offer group lessons to students who sign up with a friend).

www.rae.es/recursos/diccionarios/drae
If you are an advanced student of Spanish this is the best Spanish-Spanish dictionary. It gives you, besides the meaning, the etymology of each word.

www.elgourmet.com
Watching TV in Spanish is a good way to practice. If you are an upper intermediate or advanced student of Spanish this TV channel might be of interest to you: Canal Gourmet
The main 2 providers of Cable TV in Argentina have this channel in their lists, so whether you have rented an apartment or you are at a hotel you should be able to see it. The programs are of the best quality. This is the channel's website.

www.bytargentina.com
Throughout the 15 years that I have been teaching Spanish to foreigners many of my students have rented apartments from ByT (a real estate agent who specializes in rentals of furnished apartments)and I have heard good comments about them. They are trustworthy and have a huge selection of apartments for all budgets. Good value for money.
