Now far more expansive than Recoleta's exclusive necropolis, with numbered streets and car access to its thousands of vaults, this cemetery is largely for ordinary folk. Still, a number of popular heroes have wound up here, including Carlos Gardel, Alfonsina Storni and aviation pioneer Jorge Newbery.
