  Travel Tips

Argentina is a very big country, but easy accessible by bus. The bus system is organized and convenient, you can reach most destinations including neighboring countries by bus. With very conformable services bus companies comes for all kind of customers, some busses even have attendants and food service. Be advised that buses often run late.

Theft is normal in most major cities and thieves tend to be aggressive. Avoid walking alone or in small groups in dark streets, alleys and parks during the night, if confronted do not stand back. Exercise caution when extracting money from ATM's and do not flash around money or valuable items.

Colocar la harina en un bol, disolver la levadura, agregar sal y aceite, e ir incorporando agua tibia hasta conseguir una masa de regular textura. Dejar reposar durante una hora cerca de una estufa para que "leve".
