Introduction
Mendoza is the capital city of the Mendoza province, famous for its wines and olive oils. The city was erected in 1561 and inhabits around 115 000 people. Like Buenos Aires the city has lots of trees in the streets making it fresher and nicer.
A whole day there going would be more than enough.

Getting around
Mendoza has a lots of city bus going around, in order to use them you will need a SUBE card (same card as Buenos Aires and other cities in Argentina). Google map work more or less and can tell you the road to take by buses.
Grocery
A few supermarkets can be found in Mendoza, so finding grocery is quite easy. Like other cities in Argentina, you will need to get to the fruit veggies store for more choice, to the butcher for meat and so on.
In terms of dietetica, we went to a few of them but there weren’t really nice, and we couldn’t find nice cereal bars or snacks. Yet we found nice bread in one of them called Dietetica Camomila.
Accros the main information center, there is also a market.
Things to do around
Most of Mendoza highlight are out of the city, or so we believe:
