In Argentine art, architecture, literature, way of life, there is a connection with Europe. The interrelation of cultures is particularly noticeable in the literature. Among the world-class Argentine writers are Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar, Adolfo Bioi Casares, Ernesto Sabato, Manuel Puig, Osvaldo Soriano, Andahazi Federico. Since many Argentines are educated in Europe, it is in Buenos Aires that European trends in art, music, and architecture are noticeable. The city has many great museums of arts and galleries, not to mention theaters. Argentine cinema has reached the world level and is trying to expel even reminders of the horrors of the "Dirty War".

Probably the most popular part of Argentine culture is tango, the plasticity and melodies of which are valued by romantics around the world. Folk music also flourishes. The most important role for Argentines is played by sports, and football is a national passion, and not just a game. Argentina won the World Cup in 1978 and 1986, and individuals like the most famous Argentine after Che Guevara - Diego Maradona provide employment to football fans, paparazzi and journalists over the past 12 years.

Catholicism, the official state religion of Argentina, is burdened with beliefs that deviate from the official doctrine. Spiritualism and reverence for the dead have deep roots, and pilgrimages to places of burial of relatives and famous people are common. The official language is Spanish, but in some immigrant colonies they prefer to speak their own language. Italian is understood almost everywhere, which indicates the impact of the country's largest immigrant group, but there are also English-speaking communities. In addition, there are 17 local languages, including Quechua, Mapuche, Guarani, Tobas, Matakos.

Architecture and Fine Arts

March 13, 1904 in the Andes on the border between Argentina and Chile was erected a monument to Christ the Savior. His opening marked the holiday of a peaceful settlement of the conflict because of a dispute over the border between two countries on the brink of war. The statue of the patron saint of Argentina of the Virgin Mary of Luhanska is located in the basilica of Our Lady of the city of Lujan, 70 kilometers west of Buenos Aires. It is visited by up to 4 million pilgrims a year.

Kitchen

The cuisine of the Argentine chefs is very diverse, recipes of their dishes, they are largely borrowed from Mexican, Peruvian, Brazilian, Chilean cuisines. In Argentine cuisine, meat predominates, namely beef. For example, "Assorted parrillade", which includes almost any part of the cow: taurus, guts, udders. Among vegetarian dishes there are Italian gnocchi. It should be noted and the Argentine ice cream (helado [elado]) - another manifestation of Italian influence. Paraguayan tea (mat) is more a rite than a drink, and its offer is a sign of sympathy. The process of preparing leaves of a plant related to the holly is very effective, and the mixture is drunk from a common vessel (kalabas), made traditionally from pumpkin gorlanka.
