BUENOS AIRES PRE METRO NOVEMBER 2017

At the end of the Subte (Metro) line E Plaza de los Virreyes is  the Pre Metro tram line which has two spurs at the end of the line, one to Centro Civico Lugano ( a large area of apartment blocks) and General Silvio which unfortunately we did not have time to visit.
