Anybody have any information on this town. Air travel from BA? Any action?

About 2 bus hours from Mendoza.

Thanks

This is a great little town. I go twice a year when visiting BA as I have friends there. It's an important wine growing area with some great bodegas including the new (ish) stainless steel champanera owned by Bianchi which hosts sveral concerts incl. Jazz throughout the year. However, not known for its p4p though I have seen some good lookers there and there are a couple of good discos. Google San Rafael Argentina for more info. Flight from BA is daily excepy Sundays and goes via San Luis but is direct SR to BA on return. I have boughta ticket in November through a friend there for 700 pesos (10% increase in last 4 weeks so get going! Total flying time about 2 hours.

I couldnt figure out why anyone would go there. Everyone in Mendoza raves about San Rafael. SR seems to consist of one main street and a few side streets with one story, US style stores and businesses. Many people ride bikes, children going to school, dead as a concrete slab at night. Not as pretty as Mendoza, not as many restraunts as Mendoza, I couldnt see anything to do. Allocate 2 hours to see everything.

Some typical SR photos mid 2006.
