Springtime 2019: Lapacho trees in bloom


The "lapacho rosado" (Tabebuia impetiginosa) is a tree native from the North-West of Argentina. Every year these magnificent trees announce the arrival of Spring in Buenos Aires with an explosion of pink flowers.


One of its most splendid specimens is the tree that was planted many years ago by landscape artist Martin Ezcurra as an ornament for the house located on the corner of Ave. Figueroa Alcorta and Mariscal Castilla, in Palermo Chico. Popularly known as "Lapacho de Ezcurra", this has become one of the most famous and spectacular trees in Buenos Aires.



The lapacho on Figueroa Alcorta Ave on the photos above is the most spectacular of all, but there are many other specimens of lapachos scattered in parks and streets all around Buenos Aires.



This wonderful spectacle only lasts for a few weeks, so those who are in Buenos Aires in late September/early October can be considered very lucky to witness it.

Xtreme Polo League 2019


The first edition of the Xtreme Polo League (XPL), a new and innovative worldwide annual polo event, will kick off on Wednesday, September 25th, 2019. It will consist of 8 games that will be played at the Argentine Polo Association in Pilar, province of Buenos Aires. 

This first edition will feature six professional franchises between 28 and 34 goals. The tournament will be played with a new set of rules, in order to make the sport much more dynamic:

° Field direction won't be changed after a goal is scored. Instead, the change will be set at the start of each chukka, that will start with a midfield thrown-in.
° After a goal is scored, the match will re start from 40 yards.
° There will be a semi circular line of 80 yards; goals scored at that distance will be worth double.
° The tournament will be played on handicap and the players change will have no limit.

In addition, new emerging polo players will be able to play along with those who already play the Triple Crown. That's why lineups are not allowed to have more than two 10-goalers in each lineup, and the minimum individual handicap is 4 goals.

The XPL will use the franchise system that is currently successful in other sports, such as Formula 1 or NBA. It will be televised by Turner and its several subsidiaries.
