Avellaneda is a working port city just across the Riachuelo from the Argentine capital, known for its rail heritage, dockside industry and two of the country's most storied football clubs. It feels less like a tourist stop and more like a slice of everyday Buenos Aires, gritty, riverside and industrial.
