With its numerous beautiful buildings in European
style, Buenos Aires is unique on the American
continent. The city was built with Paris in mind,
when Argentina was one of the richest countries in
the world, and this is very obvious.
The city has more than 10 million inhabitants,
Porteños, who are proud of their city and clearly
appreciates a good meal, which you as a visitor
also can enjoy.
Buenos Aires is – among other things – a true
paradise for meat eaters because some of the
world’s best beef is served in the many good
restaurants in the Argentine capital. And why not
enjoy the good and strong Argentine wine with
your dinner?
Grandiose architecture, which is as beautiful as the
best architecture from Europe, and which also
creates a style of its own, is to be found
everywhere. The central squares, Plaza de Mayo
and Plaza Congreso, as well as the incredibly
beautiful theatre building, Teatro Colon, are fine
examples of this.
Have a nice trip!

progress as hoped for, and with the French
revolution in mind, the opposition against the
colonial power increased. Spain was gradually
weakened, and in 1806 to 1807 Great Britain
invaded Buenos Aires twice but was both times
defeated by local military units.
Historical outline
For thousands of years, there have been occupants
on the fertile plains and coastal areas of Argentina,
and this was also the case when the first
Europeans arrived in 1516. It was the Spaniard
Juan Diás de Solís who discovered the area when
he sailed up the La Plata River, Río de la Plata.
However, the expedition of Días de Solís was brief,
as he and the other sailors were presumably killed
by local Indians.
In 1810 the citizens of Buenos Aires took
advantage of the Spanish weakening. They
overthrew the Spanish vice king and established an
independent province government, which was not
immediately recognised as the government of
Argentina. However, it was the beginning of
Argentina’s independence, and today the event is
celebrated as the national revolutionary day.
More than 20 years passed before a Spanish
expedition searching for gold in 1536 founded the
first city, Santa Maria del Buen Ayre, the
forerunner of today’s Buenos Aires, which
originally meant Good Winds. Santa Maria del
Buen Ayre was situated in the present San Telmodistrict. The leader of the expedition was Pedro de
Mendoza.
I 1816 Argentina achieved formal independence,
and Buenos Aires – as the absolute centre of the
country - became the capital. Buenos Aires was
also the place where the liberal-minded population
of the country went to, and this created a cultural
distance to the more conservative population of
the provinces on the countryside. This difference
still exists today.
In 1541 frequent attacks from local Indians forced
the citizens of the new city to escape over the
ocean, and the area was once again without
European colonisation. This lasted until 1580,
when a permanent settlement was established by
Juan de Garay, who sailed from Asunción by the
Paraná River.
In the 19th century, France and Great Britain tried
to internationally strengthen their political
positions, and in the 1840'es the countries’ fleets
took turns besieging Buenos Aires. However,
Buenos Aires did not surrender and therefore
stayed an independent nation. In the last half of
the 19th century, the surrounding areas were
connected to Buenos Aires with railways, and the
transportation of raw materials to processing in or
discharging from the city created an enormous
growth, which made Buenos Aires a metropolis as
great as the biggest metropolises of Europe.
In 1600 to 1700, the Spanish colony
administration tried to get all trade from South
America to go physically through Lima in Peru for
tax reasons. This arrangement was a nuisance to
the traders in Buenos Aires, and it caused a rising
opposition to the Spaniards from the citizens of
the city, who were already called Portenõs, ”those
from the harbour”.
Along with the economic success followed a
comprehensive cultural development of Buenos
Aires, which did not want to be inferior to the
European cities. Palaces were constructed, and
Teatro Colón was built as one of the leading opera
houses of the world. Now celebrities often visited
At the end of the 18th century, the pressure to get
an easier way of trading with the outside world
was so big that the Spanish King Carlos III
declared Buenos Aires a free port. However, the
new status did not create the immediate, huge

Historical outline
Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, which was the most progressive city
in South America. The continent’s highest building
and the first metro line were constructed here.
Argentina was among the wealthiest countries of
the world, not least because of an extremely large
meat export.
The following year Juan Péron became president
with more than half of the Argentine votes. His
politics aimed towards strengthening the country’s
workers. He nationalised a lot of industry and tried
to speed up the industrial development. Despite
the great popularity and ambitious reform
programme of Juan and Eva (Evita) Perón,
Argentina got financial problems, and in 1955
Perón was brought down in a military coup d’état.
In the 1920es, many European immigrants came
to Argentina, and many stayed in and around
Buenos Aires. Today the population of Porteños,
far more often than the populations of other
South American cities, come from European
peoples and not from local Indians. The
immigration created slums because temporary and
bad homes sprang up close to the factories. This
was the beginning of the city’s social problems,
which were present for the next decades under
different regimes.
Ever since 1945, demonstrations have been held
on Plaza de Mayo because of social problems or as
reactions against changing governments and
regimes. After many years in exile, Juan Perón
returned to Argentina and was elected president
again in 1973. He died in 1974 after which
Argentina changed to a junta regime.
The country’s and the city’s economic difficulties
have not been solved, but despite a lost war in
1982 against Great Britain over the Islas
Malvinas/the Falklands Islands and big social
barriers, Buenos Aires is characterised by an
optimism and a cheerfulness of the indomitable
Porteños. In recent years, new investments have
been made in the city, among other things the
harbour area has been developed into the new
Puerto Madero.
After a coup d’état in 1943, Juan Péron was made
Work and Welfare Minister, and he quickly
obtained a high level of popularity, not least with
the working class. He was forced to resign in 1945
and was arrested shortly after. Immediately people
took to the streets, and a legendary demonstration
on Plaza de Mayo started the Peronism.

Gate in Berlin.

Caminito is the greatest attraction of La Boca. It is
a street with many colourful houses, where
immigrants used to live. The houses are called
conventillos, and they originally became so
colourful because they were painted with remnants
of ship paint from the nearby harbour. Earlier this
area of La Boca was the place where the Italian
immigrants settled, and there used to be a coarse
atmosphere like in typical harbour areas. Now
there is a market, a lot of cosy streets and a long
line of places where you can dance the tango. Also
try a walk down to the city’s old harbour from
where you have a view to the distinctive iron
bridge above the entrance of the harbour.
Lunán, 65 km W

presented. 12 years later the railway from Buenos
Aires opened, and the hotels shot up.
You can relax in the many beautiful parks, enjoy
delicious fish dishes, sea food and meat in the

Itaipú is 7.7 km wide and from the artificial lake in
the Paraná River the water falls from 220 to 100
metres in height. Together, the 20 generators can
produce 14 000 MW of electricity. The first part of
Itaipú opened for production in 1984.
Brazil and Paraguay have each invested half the
means needed for the construction, and the
production of electricity is also split in half. A large
part of the Paraguayan electricity is exported to
Brazil, where electricity is sent to among others the
large city São Paolo. In total, Itaipú covers almost
the entire power consumption of Paraguay and
about a fourth of the power consumption of Brazil.

By 2020, wind could provide one-tenth of our planet’s
electricity needs. Already today, SKF’s innovative knowhow is crucial to running a large proportion of the
world’s wind turbines.
Up to 25 % of the generating costs relate to maintenance. These can be reduced dramatically thanks to our
systems for on-line condition monitoring and automatic
lubrication. We help make it more economical to create
cleaner, cheaper energy out of thin air.
By sharing our experience, expertise, and creativity,
industries can boost performance beyond expectations.
Therefore we need the best employees who can
meet this challenge!
