Superclásico
04/05/08 21:53 Filed in: Argentina | Buenos Aires
Football matches between the two top teams here, Boca Juniors and River Plate, are known as “superclasicos”. Today was a superclassico day.
I had been quoted A$600 for a ticket which was ridiculous. My plan was to find a restaurant with a big screen (of which there are many) and have some lunch while watching he game.
Easier said than done. It took me over an hour to find a restaurant that I could get into. I ended up in a pizza place on the corner of Corrientes and Pueyrredon. It was standing room only and they closed the doors a few minutes after I got in.
It was standing room only at the bar and only beer was available. There was no chance of getting any food.
Boca won 1-0.
