Hi,

Thanks- I m glad you liked the article- there are still more facturas to add! Yes, Boedo is safe. It`s a tango neighbourhood close to the tourist areas of San Telmo and the centre and about 40 minutes away by bus from Palermo and La Boca. It is slowly being discovered by tourists. Of course like in any big city you still have to be careful. Hope you enjoy your trip to BA.
Best Wishes
Sophie

Hi,

My husband and I will be there in November and I cannot wait to have FACTURAS! They are delicious. Thank you for the great article, Sophie. By the way, is the bakery you recommend in a safe neighborhood? It’s the first time I hear of Boedo.

Thanks!
CJ

Hi Peter, Thank you for your comments- I have made the necessary alterations. I am personally more of a Medialuna de Manteca fun
Best Wishes Sophie

That would be Dulce de Membrillo, not Membrilla (which is a place in Spain!!!).

And the name of the fruit in English (seeing as you are writing in English and trying to explain what Dulce de Membrillo is) is Quince.
