Buying Gourmet Delicacies from Street Vendors on the Beach
There are many choices: sweet, savoury, hot or cold. The beach vendors do not distinguish between tastes or preferences when it comes to selling, there is something for everyone. What are the favourites choices of those satisfying their culinary craving between sand and sea? Corn on the cob is usually the most chosen by Argentinians. The ritual includes the option to add butter or season it with salt, it is held by two sticks in order to eat the cob easily, and it should be eaten sinking one's teeth into it without fear.
On the other hand, sweet alternatives offer a local classic: churros filled with dulce de leche. If you add mate with friends, then the combination is unbeatable. Street vendors also sell ice creams, torta fritas, wafers and lollipops, as well as cold sodas to combat the heat. All these elements result in the perfect plan for a holiday on the Coast: beach and gastronomy are together in the same place.
Attending a Theatre Play in Mar del Plata
The main city of the Coast Department is nicknamed “Happy City” and it's not by chance: the hot season is at its best in Mar del Plata. Beach is not the only option in the city, Peralta Ramos Forest is a perfect plan for a walk among the treetops. Also, gastronomy is another element that has been standing out for years. Besides, the theatre is one of the great classics of the town. There are great plays performing for a month and a half between ocean breezes and receiving art lovers to shows, which are usually sold out quickly. Going to the theatre is definitely a way to blend in with Argentina's summer and seaside culture.
Renting a Tent in a Beach Club
Beaches are always crowded, temperature is getting hotter as the hours go by and there is nothing better than a place to stay cool and leave your belongings. Renting a tent at a beach club (balnerios) is a great alternative for beach fans who want to enjoy a full day with their feet in the sand. Which are the benefits? A place of your own, shade, access to swimming pools and to the restaurant to buy fresh smoothies, plus the chance to meet people and experience Argentinian charisma in first hand.
