After crossing Plaza de Mayo we talk about the common people, how they lived, where they came from, what they wore, how they looked like, what they consumed, and so on.
Towards the end of the tour we take a beautiful gallery to end up at the historical Perú Sibte Station, Buenos Aires most nostalgic underground station.
