Things To Do
in Glew

Small weekend markets pop up in plazas selling fresh produce, empanadas, pastries and occasional artisanal goods — perfect for tasting regional snacks and buying fresh fruit.

Look for kiosks or small stands near train stations or plazas offering choripán and grill snacks, especially around sports or community events.

People commonly greet with a single cheek kiss in social settings and a firm handshake in formal contexts. Use first names once invited; conversations often start with small talk.

Spanish is spoken; Argentines commonly use the informal 'vos' conjugation. Politeness and friendly banter are appreciated.

Meals are social and eaten later than in many countries — dinner often starts after 9 pm. It’s polite to wait until everyone is served before starting to eat.

Argentines can be expressive and stand close during conversation; topics like football (soccer) are safe and popular starters, but avoid making presumptions about politics or sensitive historical issues unless you know the person.

Tipping is appreciated but not always mandatory. In restaurants, leaving around 10% for good service is common; smaller tips or rounding up are fine for cafés and bars. Taxi drivers are often not tipped, but rounding up the fare is polite.

Argentina’s currency is the Argentine peso (ARS). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in restaurants and shops; cash is useful for small vendors, markets and some local services. ATMs are common but can charge fees and occasionally run low on cash — plan accordingly and notify your bank before travel.

December–February: hot and humid with temperatures often in the mid-20s to low 30s °C (mid-70s to low 90s °F). Expect afternoon thunderstorms sometimes; carry sun protection and stay hydrated. Many businesses slow down for holiday periods around Christmas/New Year and mid-February (summer holidays).
