Bueno, Entonces Review: The Fun Way To Learn Spanish

6

I’ve been curious about Bueno, entonces for a while – I’d heard good things about this new breed of Spanish course and had enjoyed their free You Tube Karaoke videos – so when the opportunity to get hold of a review copy of their entire course came along, I was more than happy to take a look.

Salta Highlights

22

We arrived in Salta in Northwest Argentina with plans to stay for a week or so.

Two months later, we are still here; still appreciating the beauty of traveling indefinitely and our newfound ability to exchange Best Laid Plans for whims and fancies without worrying about timescales or onward destinations.

We were charmed by Salta and her beautiful colonial buildings, her leafy central plaza and her carefree, laid back atmosphere that made it easy to relax under the seemingly endless sky. However, once we escaped the gentle grip of a prized spot in the sun and explored the surrounding areas, we were treated to a stunning array of landscapes and locales.

These are our highlights from our time in Salta.
