Architect Santiago Calatrava's
"Woman's Bridge" on the Rio de la Plata is female by association; the
surrounding streets are named for noteworthy women such as human rights
activist Alicia Moreau de Justo. The bridge faces a new crop of trendy
hotels, restaurants, and condos in Puerto Madero—and can take some
credit for inspiring the neighborhood's redevelopment.
Fancy Footwork: With a
single mast pointing skyward at a 45-degree angle, the bridge sometimes
gets compared to a couple doing the tango. We don't quite see it, but in
Buenos Aires, tango dancers are never far away, especially on the streets of San Telmo.
