CITY OF FURY

The vocalist of the band Soda Stereo, Gustavo Cerati, popularized the term “City of Fury” referring to the City of Buenos Aires and its nocturnal movement. With the following phrases he immortalizes the fact that thousands of people venture to live the night of Buenos Aires: “Where nobody knows about me”, “And I am part of everyone”, “You will see me fall like a bird of prey”, ” I’ll take refuge, before everyone wakes up, “etc. A tour of its streets and its nightlife confirm the aspects that make it furious, especially with the hundreds of bars that remain open until dawn, keeping the City alive.
BAIOOC invited the best bars in the City to present cocktails where olive oil has been incorporated, get to know them:

Women in Olive Oil

An international movement is born to recognize the contribution of women as fundamental pieces of the family tradition, sustaining the olive tree and its heritage.
