Buenos Aires is a large province, and although known for its vibrant city capital, there are many small towns in the city outskirts that preserve a local feel which remits to another time in history. One such place is Gouin where the old train station, traditional lunching spots and open countryside make for an inviting quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The town is a 2 hour drive away from the city center, 10km off from the larger Carmen de Areco (not to be confused with San Antonio de Areco), which is also an interesting place to stop by. It has only 122 inhabitants, a small church, a park, an old train station and three lunch spots:
Restaurante La Estación in the old train station. 02273- 15-406056
Pulpería Don Tomás which serves cold cuts, homemade pasta and asados prepared by the owners. 02273-15-406865 / 02325-15-657425
Pulpería “La Mora” on Calle Andrade y Rivadavia attended by a lady called Carmen López. Cel: 02273-15-409706
The town’s attractions include the chapel, the San Martín park and a fair with regional products in front of the park that opens on weekends.
