Nº 3 - June 08

As we mentioned in our last edition, the aim of this newsletter is to send interesting information that transcends tango, even when it includes it as the main axis. This is why in this new edition you’ll find a variety of recommendations of theatre plays and dance shows that are taking place in our city, all of them with talented local artists. As always, as from the beginning of Caserón Porteño, we believe that the person who comes to our city motivated by tango and tourism is also interested in other aspects of our culture. But we also know that it’s usually difficult to distinguish which from all the activities offered are worth full. For this reason we’re trying to constitute this modest bulletin in a referent of a selection of high cultural level proposals in our city.

The VI Tango Metropolitan Championship suffered a last moment date’s modification and for this reason is taking place from May 28^th to July 6^th. We apologize for the incorrect information sent in our last newsletter, but the new government of Buenos Aires city is making some date changes in programmed events and the information arrives at the very last minute.

As we informed it in last edition, the Metropolitan Championship is the previous instance to the World Tango Championship, that will be held in August and for which dancers from all over the world will arrive. The couples that win in the Metropolitan will later participate in the World Championship. In this sixth edition, moreover, a new category will enrich the competence: to the traditional “Tango” and “Milonga” the new “Vals” category will be added.

Caserón Porteño renewed!

From the day we re-open (June 22^nd) Caserón Porteño will start to have 2 room categories instead of the current 3 ones: “standard” and “suite”. The “standard” rooms are the ones facing the street and they have the bathroom outside the room (now denominated “superior”). The “suites” will be the ones facing the garden (therefore quieter) and all of them will have air conditioning, TV and fridge. They would correspond to the current “suite deluxe” type. You’ll be able to find this information at our website soon. The objective of this change is to simplify current categories and also to make the new ones more representative of what the rooms truly are. For the moment, the rates will be maintained, despite the strong internal costs´ inflation we’re suffering.

Therefore, from our reopening day after the maintenance and painting works, we expect to receive you as always but renovated. With the same affection and warmth as always, but with slightly more service and comfort.
