Hundreds of Angry Cows Paralyze Downtown Buenos Aires

BUENOS AIRES — Argentina’s three-week-old farm strike took a turn for the worse today when protesting farmers released hundreds of cows into the Buenos Aires’ city center. The herds have apparently gone unfed for days, and the angry cows are now wreaking havoc on downtown Buenos Aires, bringing traffic and commerce to a halt. Reports have come in of the cows breaking into the city’s supermarkets, restaurants, and terrifying the city’s schoolchildren.

Argentine President Cristina de Kirchner went on national television last week and said plainly that she will not negotiate with the strikers. Farmers hope that the 50 cows defecating outside the Casa Rosada and grazing in Plaza de Mayo will change her mind.

Today is St. Patrick’s day worldwide, and though you may be as far from Ireland as you are from China, the city of Buenos Aires still has plenty to offer to get your yearly green fix, whether you’re Irish or not.

Temple Bar Retiro Buenos AiresAs South America’s most European city, Buenos Aires offers a never-ending offering of great food and drink, making it one of the most popular destination cities in the world.

However, after a full week of chowing parrilla and slinging Malbec and staying up until past dawn in the city’s boliches, it’s not a bad idea to just kick back and have a pint or two at one of the city’s best bars.

This is where The Temple Bar comes in.
