Retire in Argentina...land of the tango and much more

Retire in Argentina

If you want Europe without European prices then retire in Argentina.

Argentina is a very diverse country and it is big over 2000 miles top to bottom.

If you are looking for a city that IMHO rivals San Francisco for sophistication and culture...Buenos Aires is the place for you.

The pampas or the plains seem to stretch forever...one of the great products of the pampas is Argentinian beef...how do you say...lomito por favor.

To go with the outstanding Argentinian beef, is wine made in Argentina.

I especially appreciate their big bodied reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon.

We enjoyed quite a bit of Argentinian wine when we lived on the boat in the Caribbean.

You want to retire to some acreage?

Argentina is a vast country that would appeal to someone that perhpas always wanted to own a winery on his and her estancia.

You don't know chardonnay from cabernet? No problem, there are ranchers that know the business backwards and forwards...they do it all. They tend, prune, pick and market your grapes for a percentage of the grapes. Many landowners enjoy the romance of the wine business, without the headaches...grape ranching is hard work. Escape to Wine Country

Two cities you might consider Bariloche and San Rafael

If the thought of owning a winery, or just living in the wine country...check out San Rafael in the Mendoza district, one of best known grape growing regions in the country.

Want to live in a Swiss type chalet close to the slopes?..head for Bariloche nestled against the Andes.

Both towns are around 150,000 residents and popular with expats.

Conclusion

Retiring in Argentina leaves you with a lot of choices. Buenos Aires, locals called portenos, is the place for culture and fine dining. Mendoza is known for its wines. Anywhere outside the cities you can buy acreage...is a ranch in your retirement plans?
