Part of the article about the gaucho life that I wrote for the special one on Argentina of the magazine Lonely Planet, number 29, in January, 2010. The finished history is in 107 - Liberate under the sky of the Pampa
The route 7 was cut at a height of Jump, where in October there is celebrated the Holiday of the Creole Horse. The route 8 was cut in San Antonio of Areco, where in November it is fulfilled with the Week of the Tradition. A little more to the north, the freeway that joins Rosary with Buenos Aires across some of the most fertile fields of Argentina had been taken herds of horses, cows and tractors. Towards the south, the route 3 was cut close to Blue, head office of the Holiday of Angus. The image was recuring in Bolivar, Chivilcoy, Luján, Bragado and almost all the peoples of the Pampa.
The proposal of the Argentine government to increase to 40 % the tax on the production of the ground had infuriated not only the small and medium agricultural producers. The protest had extracted of his secret storage to the invisible gauchoes, this convinced pragmatic majority that the world already has no return, that the wire-fenced Pampa never will be the free ground on which the first jeans of America galloped again.
... The form of original life of the gauchoes celebrated in San Antonio of Areco suffered a hard reverse about 1860, when the parcelación of the pampa began in private preserves.
It finds the finished history in 107 - Liberate under the sky of the Pampa
