Super Panchos, Empanadas y Tango: Why Cordoba, Argentina?

Cordoba, Argentina is the perfect place to study abroad. The city itself is absolutely beautiful with La Canada river running through its center, Jesuit buildings dating back to 1613, Los Capuchinos church, and the fountains and statues of Plaza San Martin in the center of the city. Because Cordoba is the second largest city of Argentina, the number of tourists who come through is noticeably lower, which means your chance of learning Spanish is even higher. Although Buenos Aires is much larger, Cordoba still has the magical gems that each Argentine city holds. Impromptu tango shows still happen in the streets, empanadas are sold in every bakery, there was a transvestite prostitute who lived on a corner by my apartment and you can still buy super panchos (hot dogs) with all the toppings you can imagine for 3 pesos (about a dollar) at 5:30 in the morning on your walk home from the boliche (club), El Ojo Bizarro.
