Today I want to share with you a video I received as Christmas greetings from my friend Nicolás. Besides admiring his ability on the rollers and his excellent physical condition, in it you also get to see different sights of his city: Rosario. Here is the video:
Rosario is the third most important city in Argentina, after Buenos Aires and Córdoba -my city- which is the second largest. I couldn't resist mentioning this piece of information, since it has been a long standing tradition for residents of Rosario and Córdoba to argue which of the two cities is the second largest in the country...
At some point during the video, you get to see big silos or grain containers painted in diffferent colours. These old silos have been restored and today they house the MACRO - Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Museum of Contemporary Art) of Rosario. I visited the MACRO in 2008 during my holidays in Argentina and here is the photo I took of the curious building:

In future posts I will be showing you more places in Rosario, a city I like a lot despite not being as beautiful as my home town, Córdoba (ehem!).

Que linda es Rosario! Such a lovely city
I like it too, Ana!! The beaches by he Paraná river, the fabulous architecture along the Boulevard Oroño, the Flag's Monument, etc.!
Greetings from Casa where I arrived last night at 2:30.
After short night sleep I've been busy organizing things (still something unpacked) etc.
Tomorrow I cook a small piece of Finnish ham and we're going to have a good dinner together with my husband...I bought smoked salmon too, yummy! :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
It must feel rather strange to celebrate Christmas in Morocco? Glad that you could travel, despite all the problems caused by the weather conditions in Europe.
Enjoy that ham and the smoked salmon!!
Merry Christmas to you, too!
What a fantastic re-purpose to the old silos! Wonderful that it can go from a silo to an art museum!
Indeed, wonderful transformation; and so original, too!
Thanks, Alison!
Hey, it's your jolly old friend Nicolas! What a uniquely playful holiday greeting, hahaha.
It's very remarkable about the silos but I won't go to superlatives here, I guess I have to reserve that for Cordoba. :)
Yes, my jolly but not old, friend Nicolás! (just keep the adjective "old" out if you don't want to upset him hehe)
You better save the superlatives for Córdoba, yes!
Thanks for stopping by!
You are so right about this Cordoba - Rosario rivalry!
The results of the census came out last week, reaffirming that yes, Cordoba is again larger than Rosario. I haven't been to Rosario yet, but I love Cordoba, and the Sierras....
Yes, Cordoba is still larger - the thing would be to settle which one is more beautiful? :D
