One of the best beaches of Buenos Aires
To escape a bit of the big city of Buenos Aires you don’t need to go so far away. It offers itself for example to make a trip about 400km to the seaside town of Pinamar. On the coast of the Atlantic and thus in the south-eastern province of Buenos Aires, you can spend a nice weekend in Pinamar. Hardly more than 20,000 people live there, the number is increasing steadily, however, the city is increasingly popular. In summer you can enjoy relaxing weekends in Pinamar at a wide and sandy beach and let the sun shine on your belly. This seaside resort was long time especially for better-heeled visitors but now there are also some cheaper hotels, so that many tourists plan to go to this place. Even if there aren’t real places for sightseeing in Pinamar except the beach you can come for recreational activities or to try them out for the first time. There are many sports opportunities, such as golf, polo, soccer, volleyball or tennis. You can also go as a spectator at a golf tournament, attended by the best national and international players.
There are two golf courses in Pinamar, one in the Shaw Avenue in 1650 and the other in the Avenida de las Artes in 1370. In the Shaw Avenue, but at the height of the number 988, there is the Open house with a football pitch. The Club San Vicente (Martín Pescador and Júpiter) and El Tennis (Fta. Victoria 4300) provide opportunities for kicking around. El Tennis and the Open house offer also tennis courts. Furthermore, there are numerous gyms in Pinamar (for example New Life, Avenida del Pejerrey 1782). Beside of an action-packed weekend, it is also a good place to relax. Massages, spa and so on is available in El tennis, but also the Complejo Marino Spa (Avenida Constitución and Apolo) is a good place to relax. Lovers of equestrian sports or those who want to be can rent a horse for example in the Centro Hípico La Herradura (Shaw and Iliada). If you prefer a two-wheeler before a four-legged friend, you can rent a bike (for example Action Bike, Avenida del Lenguado 1313).
After a day full of action it’s possible you to feel hunger. There are many good places to eat in Pinamar. Very good Italian cuisine can be eaten at «Il Garda». This restaurant is highly recommended and also extremely popular. To get the best pasta in Pinamar and environment you should be in front of the restaurant before opening time at 20:30 o’clock to grab a place. The meat dishes are very tasty. A further plus point is that the restaurant is open all year round. While talking about meat, of course, one thinks immediately of the Argentine steaks. With an appetite for a juicy piece of meat, there are for example the Parrillas La Carreta (Avenida de las Artes 153) and Los Troncos (Eneas 598) in Pinamar. There, you get in a comfortable atmosphere every conceivable type of meat.
The Mama Concert (Avenida del Olimpo and Playa) is a good place if you want to round off your stay with a dip in the swimming pool or an offer of spa. In addition, you have the possibility to play beach-volleyball and for the kids there is a playing area – so it is fun for the whole family-.
