Argentina - Mendoza & Malbec






















After the Salt Flats and a stop in Salta on the way down south, we made it to Mendoza. Home to delicious Malbec, it's also a stunning city in it's own right, surrounded by the snow capped Andes. After so much eventful travelling, we decided to make a home in Mendoza for the week or so. We found a great hostel house just 20 mins outside of town and settled into a week of relaxing in the city, working our way through a lot of Malbec and cooking everything we could think of with super cheap, super tasty fillet steaks from the local market.

We also strolled in San Martin park, watched the Andes Snowboarding event going on in the city center, experienced the atmosphere of local footie, and found a favourite in Bar 23, a very cool tapas and vino place just of the main plaza.
