I’ve been waiting for the appearance of South America in Google Maps. The fun is no longer just limited to North America!
As you can see in this satellite photo, Buenos Aires is really a rather small town.
My own little corner of Buenos Aires is here on Avenida Córdoba, just left of center on this photo. That’s the medical facility of the Universidad de Buenos Aires situated around Plaza Houssay on the upper right-side.

GG - thanks for your comment. But as you walk the streets, you discover that distances are not really that far apart….
Actually, I’m not sure if that 13 million figure is for Capital Federal or Gran Buenos Aires (the metro area) or for Buenos Aires province. For Capital itself, I usually hear a figure of 3 million.

A small town?
ha!
Even for yanquees it’s not small at all (i’ve heard that from their own mouths).
And again, no, it’s in no way a small town. It’s a huge developed city (with many faults, of course, this is Argentina we’re speaking…)

Come on, people….a satellite image showing the massive size of Buenos Aires and the words “small town”….. Doesn’t anyone get irony these days? :-)
