Rosario
My lovely host family took me to Rosario for my last Saturday in the country.
Rosario is the third largest city in Argentina and it is also important because the national flag was designed and then raised for the first time here. The national flag memorial is a monumental complex and Manuel Belgrano (the flag's designer) rests in a crypt beneath the enormous 78m high tower.
The city's big claim to fame now is that Lionel Messi (a world fútbol god incase you didn't know!) is a rosarino (Rosario born and breed).
I only had the day here but I think that if I lived in Argentina it would be in Rosario.
