“It is the gay porteños (people of Buenos Aires port
-pronounced por-ten-yos) that make gay Buenos Aires
a fantastic city for inspired gay travel - I find
gay porteños more sophisticated, cultured and friendly
than their peers I have met in many other cities
throughout the world, and they are so hopelessly
romantic. You will never spend long in a bar feeling
isolated, gay
porteños
make an effort, they are fun, witty, a touch too serious
at times, and love to have a good time or set the world
to rights with lively discussion.” Andrew McCance,
Buenos Aires Stay team.
