Salta

Monday September 26, 2011
Salta ( Explore day )

Today was a rest day to catch up with some laundry, get caught up with my blog and e mail and do a little exploring of this historical city. With a population of 370,000 Salta is one of Argentina's oldest cities, founded in 1852 by Spaniards moving south from Peru. The city is the capital of the Salta Province. The area produces tobacco, grapes, timber and livestock as well as borax and salt mines.
