Kickstart your exploration at the vibrant Plaza Italia, the pulse of the city, and an emblem of Argentinian-Italian friendship. Then, head over to the culturally rich Plaza Espana, a nod to Mendoza's historical connections with Spain, replete with intricate tilework and architectural charm. Sarmiento Avenue beckons next, inviting you with its gastronomical extravaganza. Think endless choices of beer, barbecue, empanadas, and even organic food. It's a foodie's paradise! Don't forget the wine; after all, Mendoza is one of the world's most important wine regions. But there's more to the city than just food and drink. The Essential Free Tour takes you to the grandiose mansions that are living memoirs of a bygone era and escorts you to the famed General San Martin Park, a beautiful sanctuary named after the liberator of Argentina.
