What to do this week in Buenos Aires

In celebration of World Tapas Day (June 16), at Bilbao, a Spanish restaurant located in Palermo, you can enjoy a special promotion from Sunday to Tuesday, June 18: the “Tour of Tapas in Bilbao,” which includes a variety of tapas and a pint of beer. Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

The promotion includes a selection of more than fifteen tapas, including Iberian ham croquettes, anchovies with avocado mousse, Swiss chard fritters, and calamari rings. It's a great opportunity to feel like you're in Spain for a little while.

The tip: the cost per person for the promotion is $12,000.

Where: Thames 1795, Bilbao.

Immerse yourself in a different theatrical experience, in the style of a gathering, with actress Esther Goris (star of the 1996 film "Eva Perón"), who presents Evita: The Most Loved, The Most Hated, at the Juan Carlos Pallarols Workshop Museum.

Explore the life of Eva Perón through an exciting narrative accompanied by archival material and film excerpts. The presentation will be available in Spanish and English on Mondays at 7 pm, in San Telmo.

The tip: Enjoy the performance with a glass of wine and a typical Argentine picada. Reservations: museopallarols@gmail.com - 1156511002.

On Tuesday, June 18, we suggest you attend the re-release of Waterloo, Summer Night City, inspired by the songs of the iconic Swedish band, at the Metropolitan Theater. The musical features a great cast including Carolina Domenech, Bruno Coccia, Lucas Spadafora, Cristian Zeballos, Aitana Salvia, and Naza Marozzi.

The story, set in the 1980s, follows Emma, who, sad after a breakup, prefers to stay home singing ABBA songs. But upon learning of a contest at the Waterloo disco to find the successor of a famous Drag Queen, she decides to participate and rediscovers her confidence.

Waterloo delivers a beautiful message, and Caro Domenech, who plays Emma, shares it with us exclusively: “The play’s message is that there isn't just one type of love, but many: self-love, love for a partner, for a friend, love for art, and love for what you enjoy doing from the bottom of your heart.”

The tip: Get your tickets through Plateanet. Don’t wait too long; they sell out quickly!

Where: Av. Corrientes 1343, Teatro Metropolitan.

This Wednesday, June 19, we have an amazing plan for you. Since Thursday is a holiday, don’t miss a new edition of Calesita, the event that invites you to spin around Buenos Aires all night, visiting different local restaurants.

The full tour includes eight locations, such as Niño Gordo, Mengano, Franca, Gran Dabbang, Trescha, José El Carnicero, Tres Monos and La Uat. You have plenty to choose from, and you can plan your route as you wish, opting to visit all or just some of the locations. How about that?

At each restaurant, you can choose from the traditional menu or two creations by each guest chef. It's simple: choose what to try and then head to the next venue. The night ends with a great cocktail party at La Uat.

Extra long weekend, Thursday is coming, and there are movie releases you can’t miss. For the kids, Despicable Me 4 is a must-see. The classic saga of Gru and his Minions returns to the big screens for a new adventure: along with Lucy and their daughters, they will welcome a new family member, Gru Jr, who will not leave his father alone. Additionally, there will be a new villain, Maxime Le Mal, and his girlfriend Valentina. You can't miss it.

Now, if you’re into horror movies and feel like screaming in fear, The Last Conjuring is perfect for you. This film tells the story of Naoto, who is devastated by the loss of his wife, but everything changes when his son brings home a finger of his deceased mother in a desperate attempt to find relief, which triggers a series of terrifying events. Do you dare to watch it?

Thursday, June 20, is Flag Day, and to celebrate it, we have a truly patriotic proposal. Taking advantage of the Thursday and Friday holidays, the Usina del Arte has a special program that includes a folklore show by Los Umbides.

This moving story will take you on a journey to a reunion between the two characters that was planned fifty years ago, revealing their fears, broken dreams, and hopes. Don't miss this gem of contemporary theater, which will immerse you in an atmosphere of nostalgia and reflection.
