Last Sunday, a couple named Ruben and Ana invited me on a day excursion to a very cute German town called Villa General Belgrano located only about 1 hour from Cordoba. I bought some delicious chocolate and we drank tea and enjoyed the beautiful sunny afternoon.
Here is a little history about this town. Villa General Belgrano was founded in 1930, by two Germans who were attracted by its agricultural potential. The Alpine quality of the village attracted immigrants from Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria
In 1940, after the Battle of the River Plate, 130 German seaman survived the sinking of their ship, and the sailors settled in the village along with the original settlers and landscaped the mountain ranges of Córdoba with red-roofed, wood-frame homes, micro breweries and pastry and chocolate shops which gives it that unique style that it has today.
