Rosario

[Trampa]

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.

Prices in Rosario are roughly 20-30% less then Cf.

I am guessing chica prices are even less

As
Aqualung said.
Just walk past the Retiro train station to the bus station.

I thought I posted this Link.

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)

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!

@Bundalover1.

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

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.

[Trampa]

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

[Bundalover1]

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

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.

www.superlobas.com.ar

Telephone 440 3843.

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]

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.

[Tequila Tim]

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:

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.

Thanks, excellent post.

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