Celebrations of General Guemes

This month in Salta has been a month of pretty much celebrations and rememberance which of course means holidays! So trying to start work at this time was hard enough with the argentine attitude of "lets do it tomorrow" then of course the holidays. They celebrated the day of Guemes which was their General that died during battle and of course is seen as the provinces hero. In the photo you can see his burial place and some of the celebrations that happened in the pain plaza. The tradition Gaucho and horses symbolise they rememberance of the national hero and it was pretty cool to have seen this of course in traditional argentine style, they had traditional music to celebrate which lasted until the early hours of the morning.
