Surprisingly the Spanish online travel market is not saturated by the emergence of aggregation and comparison engines; there is still space for newcomer(s) to enter this segment of the online travel industry. That’s what Minube.com (that literally means “My Cloud” in Spanish) did today by launching this new flight/hotel aggregator “Minube”.

This is a cultural space located in the Buenos Aires Art Centre. It was a project propelled by the British Council and the Association Argentina of English Culture, that in order to promote the general culture and English in particular, created this new space for the interchange. Created with aesthetic care and modern ambiance, the Ciberarte makes room for all artistic expression: sculptures, paintings, photographs and drawings, done by creative Argentineans as well as foreigners..

This building, originally built as the seat of the University of Buenos Aires around 1880, was the work of Pedro Benoit’s son, and was occupied at one time by the university’s Faculty of Law. The museum houses valuable collections of anthropology, archaeology, folklore and ethnography, which add up to more than 150,000 artifacts and documents. Throughout the year, the museum offers exhibitions that deal with the country’s original inhabitants, ceramics or textiles, among others, from Argentina, Peru or places as far away as Europe and Africa. Entrance: ARA2.

The Suntory Museum, which you can tour in about 30 minutes, is that fantastically modern-looking structure you see near the aquarium, designed by well-known architect Tadao Ando. It stages changing exhibitions in airy rooms against a dramatic background of the sea beyond its glass walls. Past exhibits have included posters by Toulouse-Lautrec, paintings by German expressionists, and glass by Emile Gall?; call or check the Meet Osaka quarterly for current information. There’s also a 3-D IMAX theater with scenes so real you’ll swear those fish on the screen are about to swim into your lap, a good museum shop, the Sky Lounge (perfect for taking a break), and a restaurant, Caf? Solare.

This is the most luxurious and ambitious bathhouse I’ve ever seen. It can accommodate up to 5,000 people and draws upon hot springs brought up from 891m (2,970 ft.) below the earth’s surface. On its roof, in a large hangarlike room, is a covered swimming complex that includes a pool, a slide, a wave pool, a sunning terrace, and a wading pool (rental bathing suits available). The rest of the large complex is divided into themed, geographical bathing zones, which are rotated between the sexes and include luxurious locker rooms. At the Asian Zone, for example, Middle Eastern music and tiled mosaics set the tone for the Turkish bath, while China is represented by a medicinal bath. Massage is also available. If you’re timid about going to a public bath, this one will convert you. If you’re already a fan, you’ll want to move in — note, however, that at 5am you’re charged for a new day. And sorry, people with tattoos are not allowed.
