Rosario

At Tucuman. 2-4 Chicas. Prices: 60p 30 min. 100p hour. Tel: 447-6134, 447-5054. Hours: 24/7. On Monday´s opens at 9am. [url]http://www.princesitaseroticas.com.ar[/url]

I went by, but maybe I did not push the doorbell hard enough, so I called.

At 1 de Mayo. 3-4 Chicas. Prices: 60p 30 min. 80p hour. Tel: 425-2721, 426-4476, 425-3757, 421-9473, 448-5024. Hours: 24/7. [url]http://www.diablitasrosarinas.com/[/url]

I called, then went over. Only one available, the others were busy. I asked Sin Foro and she said a big Nadia, Nadia, Nadia. So I left. No love there.

[QUOTE=BundaLover]Brainiac, that's the place Rossario Diabolitas. They have a house not far from the monument on the main street that is parallel to it. I went to several houses and what I remember was that some were 70p some were 80p and that one was perhaps 100p but it was the best set-up (Rossario Diabiliatas) So for Rossario I remember always order the 100p pussy. Anyway things change with respect to talent, photos don't tell the whole story. The house had a few bedrooms and I saw about 3-4 girls. But they were a level above the other places. Rossario is small potatoes compared to BsAs but it has everything you need at significantly less expensive prices.

I too recall that if they get a convention the 3 or so very good hotels fill up and one is down to second level places.

With respect to that other situation you mentioned. Is it possible the rubber on your condom is causing it?[/QUOTE]

I went back after leaving the Diablo place. I was hoping for Gabrelia, but she was not there, so I asked the older chica if she would do Sin Foro and she said yes. Now my dick hurts. I had to stop her. Too much teeth. Too much pain to cum.

[QUOTE=WorldTravel69]At Maipu. 5-6 Chicas. 50p 30 min. 100p hour includes COLA. Tel: 449-0274, 411-2076. Hours: 24/6. Sunday 9am to 4am. [url]www.elparaisoreal.com.ar[/url]

They are running a 30p desde special.

Saturday is a slow day. I only saw two chicas. The first one Gabrelia was blond and thin, but I got a good feeling, she kissed me on the lips. The other was young, fresh and nice looking. Uhmm.[/QUOTE]

WT69, you are doing the same thing I did. Go back to the RossarioDevils if you dare on a non Sunday. I saw good stuff there. Tell them you want the young ones without teeth. They charge 10 pesos per tooth extra in BsAs now. (seriously that was the best casa I found but I'll bet they have high turnover). What are you doing for accomodations?

I am leaving for B. A. Today. The hotel is in a great location. San Lorenzo and San Martin, two blocks from the river and two from the walking street of Cordoba.

145p a night, double bed. Free internet and CNN English on the TV. The staff speaks Engish.

I heard that Laprida 1418 was the best, so I saved it for my last night.
I did not look at my own list.
It is Closed on Sundays.

Anyway, you always get the leftovers on Saturday and Sundays. The ones that everyone knows that they are not good and did not get any business, so they work the Weekends.

Smoked out of Buenos Aires, I finally made the trip by bus, roads open at least for this route. Ironically, the smoke arrived to Rosario late that night but blew off in the night leaving beautiful, clear skies on Sunday.

Rosario is Sacramento, CA to Buenos Aires being San Francisco, CA by contrast although I'd rather be in either Argentine city than California. There was a refreshing absence of intensity but retaining ample restaurants, interesting architecture and a river with a complex offering of walking, sights and waterborne activity. There's an island across the river with several boats available to cross.

Thinking the river restaurant scene would be concentrated I found it's strung out along the river over 10 km and generally big restaurants, lots of seating. Recommend grabbing a taxi and asking to see the length of it. There's a Costanera near the bridge with several restaurants, balnearios and beachs. Further down the river and near the city center there's a stretch with around 6 or 8 restaurants along the waterfront.

Within the city and near the center (and near Majestic Hotel) is Pellegrini street with lots of restaurants, but sprinkled throughout the neighborhoods are interesting looking places on a smaller scale. If you want a parilla on Pellegrini go early, 8:30 or so, as they're big places pack up and lines to get in. Unlike BsAs it seemed the restaurants didn't even turn on lights until 8:30, then they fill up.

It's hard to imagine being in Rosario without some ability with Spanish.

Unlike BsAs which has been hammered by rising prices Rosario has the feel of 2007 prices. Taxis were cheaper and more scarce I might add.

Burning a short candle I took WorldTravelers recommendations and plotted them out on a hotel map, they're spread out but walking at night was no problem and the streets seemed ultra safe for stumbling around looking for addresses.

First stop Madame Dessire at Italia 1485 PB. If you missed the 60's or haven't had an acid flash in a few years I highly recommend. Very Haight Ashbury, black light, day glo and an ample selection. Rooms are right out of a sleazy porn movie. If you don't mind sheets that have housed several previous you'll enjoy the mirrored walls, day glo, black and white porn videos running and of course your chica of choice. I went for the 1/2 hour and in this place that's probably a good incentive to get with it and out.

Still game for more, second stop was Superleonas at Pte. Roca 1289 PB. If you like the scene a little tamer with girls you could bring home to mama, clean sheets and clean towels highly recommend this place. A nice spin with Ornella who was not only sexy but smart and good conversation afterwards.

That left Sunday, tough choice, but determined to continue the research, on to M. Dorrego 406 PB at Tucuman. The 406 was missing from World Traveler's listing, so mystery solved. A little hard to tell what was going on in this place and turned out to be only one chica available, Marisol. Went for the half hour at 60 pesos and finding her compatible went for another half there was no savings, got hit for the 30 min price again. House rule. Clean place and Marisol turned out to be a smoking piece of Argentine carne after a little massage and foreplay.

It was great to be paying max 100 pesos or 120 pesos an hour for sex with interesting attractive women.

An hour and a half with Marisol and it was time to head for the bus.

5 hours to arrive to Rosario, 4 hours to arrive to Buenos Aires.

Vale la pena.

I just came to Rosario, caught a redeye bus (colectivo as it's called here) here out of curiosity.

It was around 3 in the morning, so I wandered around the bus station, too many stinkin Trannies, no attractive women.

I took a look at World travelers list (thanks WT)

And started calling, the first one I called was.

Italia 1485, piso PB, at E. Zeballos and 9 de Julio, (Madame Dessire)

I was subsequently told that all the girls were busy and that there was a half hour wait.

Next was.

Pte. Roca 1289, at 3 de Febrero.

This place told me that all the chicas were gone.

So I called this place (title) and was answered by a nice lady that told me that yes there was a girl available and that even her shower was available for my use (I had been on that bus entirely too long)

It is a discrete place, one doorbell, an effeminate guy answered, not a plus, the place was nice, I was told to go to the back room, very spacious, green lights and nice bed. The bathroom was also spacious and hot water on demand.

I got Sofia, slim tall, I give her mid-late twenties (page says 19, no way) small nice titties, shaved and clean pussy.

She's quiet, and was tired (hell it was 4am) but she was very sweet, all things considered. She isn't a whiner (I like to prop their legs up over my forearms and go to town) even though she wasn't that limber she put up with it with more soft moaning than discomfort noises.

She made an effort for conversation even though I could tell she was sleepy, I'd return.

I went to this place and got nicole, slim blonde, very small titties, round ass.

She was somewhat impartial about it all, she fucks very professionaly, she doesn't get mushy (which I like) but she still got me off twice, it's apparent she doesn't enjoy her job, but se does it well anyway. Lots of loud moaning, even though she's not really into it.

I wouldn't got back for her, but it wasn't bad like I said, mixed feelings, she fucks like a rabbit, but she's not into it.

The place is kind of odd, it's a one doorbell pad, that leads to a second floor, several rooms, all have black lighting and neaon paintings on the wall (kind of tacky for my taste, but the bathroom was clean and the shower was hot (big deal for me)

I would return to meet the other girls.

Spent last weekend in Rosario and went for some fun on Saturday Night (Sunday Morning) about 4 AM. Started off late as I had a dinner and music event.

Took off in suit and tie with 6 Brazilian buddies. Asked about where to go from the remise, he reccommended a private house but we asked about "La Rosa". Remise stated that there were ladies but to look out for "los trollos" ie. Trannies. Stopped by La Rosa and took a peek. A line of men and many men inside with no sight of chicas so off we went to another place that was nearby, which I cannot recall the name of. Same deal, a "saugage fest". Ask the remise to go and he takes us to Lucille Club, San Lorenzo 901 at Maipu.

Lucille Club is ok and at that point we were looking for another beer and something to do other than drive in circles on the one ways in downtown.

Only two ladies were decent and there was one Trollo. Bought a round which was reasonalbe and talked one of the 6's into a stip show. She did a nice job and I eventually arranged for her to swing by my hotel after my Brazilian buddies had decieded to call it a night.

Paid 150 pesos for 2 hours and multiple shots with cola included. This lady, Laura was pretty good and into the sexo. I DATY twice prior to round one and had round two in cola and puss. When it was all said and done, the sun was up and she had to hurry to catch the bus home.

Nice pics, thanks for the report.

I like the vine tattoo. I saw a girl in Thailand with something similar but that one was better.

Arrived about 10.30pm in a decidedly dodgy part of town. A solid wooden door greeted me, but I could see a red light through a hole in the wood, and the doorbell was lit up. Answered by a nice looking girl wearing a singlet dress covering half her bum. I was hard already. She led me straight to a bedroom, and it was obvious she was the menu. 70p for 30 min. 100p for an hour, 60p more for cola. Businesslike and efficient, she knew what to do, but I could see she was on remote control. She thawed out by the end, but I don't think I'd repeat. Her name is Lara. She said there was 2 chicas there at night, and it was open 24/7.

The decor hasn't changed since the last post in 2008. Not much more to say.

Argento and I just got back from a quick visit to Rosario arriving by car from BA (3 hours door-to-door). I came away very impressed by the city. The streets were clean and people were much friendlier than in BA. We stayed at the Garden Hotel (45 Callao) for $US50 / night and although the rooms were a bit small, they were spotless and the hotel had a pool and a gym. The part of Rosario I really liked was the riverfront area just outside the downtown area. Wide sandy beaches and a riverfront promenade with excellent restaurants made for a nice diversion during the down time. We visited several privados during our stay and they ranged from excellent to absolute dives. Prices ranged from 80-100P / hhr to 120-180P / hr. In Rosario you do get what you pay for, the lower priced privados were nasty affairs. The service at the higher priced privados was excellent. I will update World travelers list when I get a chance. We didn't search for nighttime activity but found a small area near our hotel. Esconchite is on Callao one block from our hotel and was an Orleans type operation. No entry charge but girls hanging around the bar and tables who are available for frolic in the upstairs rooms. I was told 200P is the norm. La Rosa was across the street and was an actual club. 30P to enter and again a 200P fee was normal to take a girl upstairs. The place was big, many nice looking chicas inside along a huge perimeter bar with a dancing area in the middle of the club. I'm not a late night guy but I will definitely reserve a night for this place next time I'm in Rosario. All in all, Rosario is an enticing option given it's close proximity to BA yet having it's own distinct personality. I will return in the future.

How many days would you say would be enough to spend there? From mongering point of view and getting to know the city?

Captain,

I would say a three day, two night trip would be a good time span to see Rosario for the first time. I would spend a day exploring the city (Monumento a la Bandera, Parque de la Independencia, a walk along Bv. Orono north of the park, etc. A day at the beach along the river is a must do. There are plenty of great resturants for outdoor dining. If you're a privado guy two a day would probably be quite doable. The shift change at the privados we visited is 8PM. The night spots I described earlier were hopping by midnight.

For World Traveler:

942 Urquiza was closed when we visited (looks to be permanently closed)

1189 Catamarca was a gem, visited twice during the daytime and all girls quite nice (100P / hhr. 180P / hr). Up the stairs, only one door bell.

1485 Italia (planta baja) was like a 70's porno set, big place, green neon everywhere, satin sheets, ceiling mirrors. Very fun (100P / hhr. 180P / hr)

1486 3 de Febrero didn't have two girls for us so we moved on. Looked like a good place, will return to confirm (100P / hhr. 180P / hr) . Street level entry.

1289 Pt. Roca Muy mal, shitty interior, presented with two girls, one particularly fea. Cranky Madam slammed the door on us when we passed. Avoid (80P / hhr. 120P / hr). Street level entry.

One final note, Rosario is spread out more than BA. We had access to a car and this made the trips to the beach and privados quite easy. If you're planning on visiting Rosario without a car it's doable but you will need to rely on public transportation. Here's a link to the collectivos:

Cheers,

Rosario continues to maintain its charms. I arrived on Christmas so the town was dead. The area that Tequila Tim stayed at is cute. Is is kind of their equivalent to the Palermo district of BsAs but only about 6 blocks by 4 blocks. Directly adjacent to his hotel Garden Court (Callao and Brown) is a small and styish Parrilla and directly next to that is a charming resturaunt with large outdoor garden. If one heads towards the river about 2 short blocks there are the 2 clubs mentioned. Both are operating but were closed due to the holiday. There is a kiddie dance club that gets hopping after midnight and new fancy sushi restruant and various falling apart buildings next to decent houses. It looks like a good place to stay. The area is called Pichincha and known as a nightlife area (very small scale). The buses that pass through this area are the 120 and the 103. Its perhaps a 15 peso taxi to downtown near the walking streets.

Buses actually stop to pick up people on the street and they run to about 4 am. People are friendly here.

Favorite place to hang out is still El Cairo on Santa Fe and Sariemento. A large restruant and bar. Food is not going to win any awards but the atmosphere is good with the cities beautiful people.

474 9th of July between 1st of May and L. N. Alem is indeed in business. Area is ok. Single wooden door. Shift change about 4pm. Looks like they have not changed the sheets since I was there a few years ago. Almost a shit hole due to lack of care now. Saw 4 women in the line up. 1 scary. 2 not acceptable. 1 spinner teenager. 115 pounds, tatoo bullshit, nice curves. 70 pesos half hour. 120 an hour. Said to operate 24 x 7. Seems that cleaning is not their strong point nor is replacing light bulbs. It you go at night its going to be dark. Hmm not worth the trip from BsAs for this teams line up.

Thanks Tequilla Tim for the recommendation. The correct address is Catamarca 1181. (not 1189) it is close to the corner of Mitre. The street door is open and one goes up a marble flght of stairs to a closed door and buzzes. They let you into a large multistory house cerca 1900s. There is a large waiting room with dance floor and bar. The manager offerred a drink and I discovverred he worked for 16 years in Las Vegas.

The place advertises as Superlobas.

440 0876, 24 hours.

I was presented with an unattractive woman that was beyond her prime if she had one. Lets call her FUGLY. Then to my astonishment what happened next was surreal. I thought I was being filmed on one of those hidden camera TV shows for before my very eyes the grandmother of FUGLY slowly (like most geriactrics) wabblled into the room. Unbelievable, I believe she was in the business pre WW2. Perhaps she served under the liberator of the country. This was no joke, grandma was presenting herself to me. Lets call her GFUGLY. Now imagine the data points. What would be presented next? They would have to go the graveyard and dig up a rotting corspe at this rate. A living person would not be possible. The manager asked whom I prefferred. I politely told him no thanks (I would rather have my dick cut off and made into a fine bar be que then get naked with Fugly or GFugly). I would retire from whorring. This was it. This country sucks. Its all over. I retire.

But wait, he had one other to show. Oh great. Its going to be mother of bride of Frankenstein. Sure why not.

Gentlemen I kid you not. What appeared before me was an angel. Slim. Pretty, green eyes, a smile and giggle that could cause heart attacks. He told me she has been to Vegas twice and dances (not fucks) for 200uSD an hour. I believed him. He occassionally takes girls there to work.

120P half hour.

200P one hour.

Worth the trip.

@Bundalover1.

Do you think Rosario would be a mongering destination or just for tourism and meeting non-pros?

That depends. If you have not seen Mendoza or Salta or Patagonia then I would put those far ahead of Rosario in terms of natural beauty etc. Its currently about 90 F here just like BsAs and its baking on the streets. The girls are prettier than BsAs and they seem to have huge tits. Its incredible just sitting in a cafe near Cordoba (walking street) and watching them bounce by. Imagine Florida St but with the bullshit vendors and bullshit stores.

Everywhere I interact the people are friendly. The girls here have told me that I am cute. Try getting them to do that in BsS. The papers are full of pussy for rent. Nightlife is very limited. So if you get tired of BsAs big city bullshit and want to see a smaller town (by no means is this small) this place is great. I thinki most non Spanish speaking men would find it boring.

La Plata is great for that as well, and just an hour bus drive away

[QUOTE=Captain; 414728]@Bundalover1.

Do you think Rosario would be a mongering destination or just for tourism and meeting non-pros? [/QUOTE]In general Argentina is a weak place for mongerring compared to Brasil. I think BsAs is much easier to access then Rosario. If you take taxis in BsAs everywhere ie. Do not have the the ability to take buses or metro due to language or ambition then you are better off in BsAs. About half the hotels in Rosario are classified as 4 star. This is total bullshit. My so called 4 star hotel had a great lobby and breakfast room but it ended there. The room had inner courtyard window and a whopping 7 or 8 cable channels. Wahhooooo. There are few internationalk tourists here. There is a long coast line and they have beaches. The beach consisted of about half mile strech of sand and some cafes. It was mobbed this weekend. I did not see many cute girls in bikinis which I thought was strange.

If you are not tired of BsAs and want night life then Rosatio is not for you. I like strolling and reading but one has that in BsAs. If you like to travel independently and speak Spanish and have an interest in local culture than I reccomend Rosario. I would not come here for the pussy but if you do it is available.

How can I purchase a bus ticket or make reservation for Rosasrio? Can I do on internet? Or Do I have to visit bus terminal or somewhere? Where are they? Thanks a lot!

If you can manage enough Spanish you can book tickets here, pay for them and print them:

If not, just go to the Retiro Bus terminal (Terminal de Micros Retiro)

Hey, I have been devouring this site for all its useful information. Thank you to everyone, especially Jackson, for your efforts! I am coming to BA at the end of the year for the first time. I am just wondering about the prices. They seem to be all over the place. Is that a reflection of currency movements and inflation? Or am I missing something? The prices in Rosario seem to be so cheap but since this post they may have doubled? Help? And thanks again! A general list of prices and some idea of there linear movements would really help this newbie.

Just walk past the Retiro train station to the bus station.

I am guessing chica prices are even less

In the last 6 months, actually US$ got stronger by 25-30% against A peso. This means that the chica and other costs "in terms of $" are supposed to be cheaper now. But it seems to me whenever dollar gets strong, privados raise prices. So two things are possible. First, they watch the exchange rate and raise the price when $ gets strong, because there is no difference for gringos who calculate prices in $ term. Second, inflation raises prices including privado fees, and weakens peso against US$. Maybe both are the cases. I am trying to go to Rosario this March. Hopefully I will find out the prices.

Thanks a lot WT and Aqualung! The pics look great. Beautiful architectures!! What is the name of the white building with a lot of colums? I will be in Argentina March 9-18. I will try to visit Rosario. If you are in Buenos Aires in March, I would like to see you.

They also have a huge cermony some day (I think I-day or so) which is actually quite fun and lot's of saluting of the flag

I would like to stay at a cheap hostel in Rosario. I found hostels at riverside close to the monumento de bandera and in downtown close to Plaza salmiento. Which location is better? Thanks a lot.

Based on the Great WT69's list, I made a map of privados (and clubs) in Rosario. Thanks a lot, WT!

I personally liked being near the river. The Monument area is a great spot.

Let me start with my conclusion first. Rosario is a good place if you want to eat good river fish and relax. But if you want to visit privados, this is not a right place. There are relatively few privados, among which very few has more than three girls available. When I arrived Rosario in the noon, it was hot, and a hotel guy told me that Rosario is hotter than BA. So I did not bring my jacket when I left the hotel. Soon after I left the hotel, the weather drastically changed, it began rain first, and after the rain very cold, stormy wind hit the town. Everybody, except me, was wearing jackets. It is ironical because I was the only one carrying a jacket for no use in BA and Jackson laughed at me about it.

-Catamarga 1181. Stopped by around 3pm. Five girls. All 3-7s. Mama-san told me that there would be different chicas after 8pm. I said I would come back, and left.

-Mendoza 909. Not in business any more.

-Laprida 1418. After I pushed the buzzer, a lady from intercom told me that all the girls were busy. After I asked when I should come back to see the girls, the lady started a long story which I did not understand. I only trust short, clear answers to my questions. So I left.

-9 Julio 474. After I pushed the buzzer a lady immediately responded, but it took ten minutes for her to open the door. Many privados and other businesses are like that, and they say they do not know why Argentina does not have many foreign investors / corporations moving in. A lady, late 30s or early 40s, took me into a room and told me that only she was available. I left.

-Italia 1485. A lady told me that there were only 3 girls and all of them were busy. When I asked what time I better come back to see the girls, she said she did not know.

-Catamarga 1181. I made a 2nd visit around 9pm. It took 15 minutes for the incompetent, disorganized, and always running around mamasan to open the door after I talked to her on Intercom. 3 girls. I picked a rubia. 8-9, good body, and paid 180 peso for 1h to mama san. The rubia took me to a very dark room where there was a very small light. I could not see anything. I asked her for another room, but she told me that none of the rooms has lights. I told her that I wanted to leave because in this room w / o light there was no any difference among girls, dogs and cats. She laughed and said no problem. She left the room, soon brought 180p and gave it back to me. When I was leaving I asked the rubia if Argentine guys prefer dark rooms, and she said si.

-Club Mitre de Pescado. A diner-like, non-fancy restaurant at the fishing place only for Club Mitre members. North of Parque Espana. Close to the bar, Quillago, there is an elevator for club Mitre at B1. I ate Pacu, very good and juicy river fish for about US $15.

It is Sunday today, and the town is very slow. Many people are at the riverfront. Lunch at WT69's favorite, Puerto Gaboto, Pellegrini 584. I ate a very good, and big, fish called Surubi. Very nice restaurant. There were about 5 waitresses, but none of them were good looking.

-9 Julio 474. Stopped by around 1pm. A lady different from a lady I met yesterday, late 30s or early 40s, told me that she was the only available girl. I left.

-Italia 1485. Two girls in the late 20s or early 30s. 5-7, fat. I left.

-Catamarga 1181. Pushed the buzzer, but no response. Closed on Sundays?

I will return to BA tomorrow!
