After Mendoza, we had a brief stop in Cordoba, a lovely University city with an old colonial centre. There were some great bars and restaurants and we had a most splendid time. There was also a really cool market in the student district, which Lonely Planet describes as the best in Argentina. Not sure about that, but even Chris liked it, so it has to be good. (But I think he liked the bar overlooking the market even more, he´s actually smiling in the photo below).
We also popped briefly to a little place called Mina Clavaro, a few hours away from Cordoba, and it was a bit of an unexpected gem. It´s at the confluence of two rivers, and has never-ending amounts of swimming holes and places to chill out on the river banks, as well as some lovely walking. We decided Mina Clavaro deserved a silver llama award, but it´s getting harder to award them, and Chris thinks the whole system needs a review. I´d hate to have to downgrade anywhere, and I suspect some disagreements are looming.
