Here is the cover of the magazine I found this article in. Following is the intro, which is on page 1. I put this out of order, as I wanted to get right to the art.

Argentina – Independence Day

On July 8, 2017July 9, 2017 By ResaIn Boxes, Guests58 Comments

On July 9, 2017, Argentina has 201 years to its independence history.

I felt Argentina when I saw this mini-mural, so I sent a pic off to Aquileana from La Audacia de Aquiles, after all, she lives in Argentina.

She replied, “YES that graffiti certainly seems to depict Argentina…. Tango… Perhaps milongas ( a tango style).”

It’s like I can hear and feel the music all the way up here in Canada!

“I added several murals surrounding the stadium …
And two pics from the streets nearby it”

“Boca Juniors is one of the two most popular football clubs in Argentina…. Alongside River Plate…. they hate each other… I am a Boca Juniors´fan :D”

“The iconography of these murals is very ARGENTINE.”

⭐ EXTRA BONUS ⭐

Aquileana sent pics from Caminito!

“In (some of) Caminito´s murals you can see a typical family and a technique to write words called FILETEADO.”

“You can Google: Caminito, Buenos Aires, Argentina to see the location, etc…”

I certainly did, and it looks very interesting, not just the location, but the shops and the views!

Argentina’s flag

Argentina’s flower – Ceibo

Argentina’s National Animal – Cougar or Puma- I thought this looked like one, although the smile is a bit sweet. It is from my collection.

Argentina’s National bird: Rufous Hornero

⭐ THANK YOU ! ⭐ Aquileana

Your contributions are fabulous! I have learned more about Argentina in doing this one post, than in my entire life. (except for about Eva Peron)

This sweet bit of street art was sent in by Amalia aka Aquileana of La Audacia de Aquiles.

The woman with the wave could be a Nereid from Aquileana’s post “The Nereids, Fifty Sea Nymphs”
