Our Flag
 
Hello! My name is Leandro, and I am from Argentina. Argentina is located in South America, having Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Chile as our good neighbors. We are 37 million of Argentineans, and we all speak Spanish, being Catholicism the most important religion. And as almost any Argentinean, I like to play soccer. My other hobbies are playing basketball, cooking “asados” and drinking “mates”.
Our country is the second biggest one in South America, having all the weathers and landscapes you could ever imagine… forests, deserts, grasslands, mountains, glaciers, wetlands… we are a great country for tourism! Nevertheless our economy is mostly agriculture-based since we are some of the world’s top soybean, corn and wheat exporters.
Asado (barbecue)


We are also worldwide famous for our great steaks!
And beef is my favorite food. Our barbecues (“asados”) are great! A slowly cooked salty seasoned piece of beef, with lettuce and tomato salad and a great Argentinean red wine… delicious!!!

Our Mate
My favorite holiday is going fishing with my family. We can share great “asados” and “mates” (a kind of tea that we drink) by the riverside. That is wonderful!!!
